seeing a lot of posts making me think about it lately but i think its really important to note when you consider the ways that you accept and support the queer/lgbtq community that its critical, if you want to do a well founded and strong job of it, absolutely CRITICAL to diversify that
i know theres a lot going on right now thats noisy, and scary, and it feels overwhelming and sometimes that pressure is good at encouraging infighting or picking teams or whatnot
but like... i dont know man. step back and relax a little bit. dont engage with the live wire. go... read some stories. read or watch some history, enjoy some queer entertainment.
google terminology. watch something about the AIDS pandemic. see top ten queer artist lists and pick a few to learn more about. look at the wiki for the lavender scare. watch some musicals, learn about theater history. about drag. the holocaust, and how much they cared about whether you were gay, autistic, or jewish, and why its so important to remember who your real fight is with.
not even all at once. just throw some crumbs in with whatever else youre doing, or youre interested in. tidbits. find happy things. find mundane things. find infuriating things. find combinations, confusing things. diversify. grow yourself. give yourself time and tools in bounds. much to learn every day.

It may be a long request, but what memorable moments (scenes) for each characters from OddTaxi caught your eyes the most ? (included images as well) It will be interesting to hear it from you, as someone who reviewed each episode of this series.(and was fun to read) I can wait if this take some time to answer back, no need to rush(> ā—” 0) Honestly ,this show is so unique & such an underrated gem!! It's like you said: "DAMN. ODDTAXI WHY YOU SO GOOD"
LOL thanks, Iā€™m flattered that you found my weekly ramblings fun to read ^^; I didnā€™t intend to review the series though. I was planning to just make a series of minor complaints about an otherwise good story, but... well. It was clear by episode 5 that the writing was deeper than I thought.
Having said that, here are my favorite moments for each characters anyway!
(ā—'ā—”'ā—)
------
Taeko-san
Tumblr media
Episode 8.
Suddenly acting all cutesy and embarrassed ^^;
------
Nagashima
Tumblr media
Episode 1.
I was just surprised to find that heā€™s in the first 5 minutesĀ of episode 1.
------
Kabasawa
Tumblr media
Episode 9.
DEYM, SON @_@
MaaaaybeĀ focus on catching Dobu? Also what the hell, 10k yen to assistĀ on catching Dobu???
Slow clap. Brilliant, mate.
Tumblr media
Episode 9.
I did feel bad for him though. In his pursuit of fame, heā€™s bitten more than he could chew. This scene stood out to me for a different reason though:
Who apologizes in less than a minute???
------
Shibagaki
Tumblr media
Episode 6.
It didnā€™t initially carry much weight, but once you realize he did this to try and remain relevant in the entertainment world, itā€™s kinda sad. Especially with Baba getting all the attention recently.
Tumblr media
Episode 6, ending credits.
------
Baba
Tumblr media
Episode 6, ending credits.
Contrast to Shibagaki, Baba is experiencing one hell of a high in his career. Canā€™t entirely blame him for not focusing too much attention on the N-1 contest anymore. This entire exchange with Shibagaki was so memorable because... it just shows how different their careers have become.
Also, just right before this scene, it was shown that
Tumblr media
HEā€™S ACTUALLY DATING NIKAIDO WTF
------
Kuroda
Tumblr media
Episode 3.
This scene where Kakihana thought Kuroda was talking to him was just hilarious. Not to mention once you hear him speak, you realize...
Heā€™s voiced by this guy.
-----
Donraku
Tumblr media
Episode 1.
This annoyed the hell out of me. I thought this was one of those typical Japanese TV commentary panels. When I wondered if ā€œDon-chanā€ might be Donraku, I thought of this scene and concluded ā€œNah, canā€™t be him. Would you act all calm - let alone appear on TV like that - if your daughter was missing? Nah.ā€
How wrong I was of course, but this scene has always stuck in my head.
Of course, the president of the agency being in the shot was probably meant as a clue of some sort... But we didnā€™t know that yet, did we?
Tumblr media
Episode 11.
------
Kakihana
Tumblr media
Episode 5.
This was just so awkward to watch. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
Tumblr media
Episode 9.
I still feel bad for him at the end of it all, of course. He just wants to move on and throws the ring away... but he realizes how much it cost. ^^;
(Finally, of course thereā€™s also that scene with Kuroda from earlier)
------
Tanaka
Tumblr media
Episode 4.
This scene. Iā€™ve ranted about it before already :v
Tumblr media
Episode 9.
Does this count? Of course we now know that this was actually Little Daimon, but at the time,Ā I was so annoyed at how overpowered Tanaka was made to be.
------
Imai
Tumblr media
Episode 8.
Tumblr media
Episode 11.
Imaiā€™s love for Mystery Kiss (well, Nikaido) is probably greater than all our love for ODDTAXI combined.
A true man of culture.
------
Big Daimon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Episode 1.
DIRTY COP! DIRTY COP RIGHT HERE- *bang* ughh
------
Little Daimon
Tumblr media
Episode 7.
This was the moment I started considering that Odokawa really has nothing to hide in his closet. It would have been extremely risky for him, considering how straight of a cop (albeit a little naive) Little Daimon is.
Tumblr media
Episode 12.
This was a genuinely sad moment for me. Your brother, who you decided to punish evil with, was part of the evil youā€™ve been trying to punish all along. Thatā€™s gotta hurt, man.
------
Dobu
Tumblr media
Episode 9.
Dobuā€™s actually quite a nice guy, huh? I mean, yeah, not really, but come on. He did let Kabasawa off with a life lesson instead of a more serious beating.
Tumblr media
Episode 10.
Really? :))
Tumblr media
Episode 12.
Again, DOBU SHOULD HAVE JUST SHUT UP. ā€œITā€™S A SILHOUETTE BRO,Ā  THATā€™S NOT ME, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.ā€
Also, I kinda refuse to believe Dobu would use his silhouette for the game. We couldnā€™t even tell who the hell ditch-11 was but suddenly *poof* itā€™s Dobuā€™s silhouette!
I would have preferred if Tanakaā€™s story of sending a message was true. It would be much more believable. Then Tanaka sends another message to ditch-11 then and there...
And then Dobuā€™s phone rings. Surprised pikachu face.
Also, Dobu quit playing some time ago but was still Rank 1??? What the hell?
------
Yano
Tumblr media
Episode 7.
When Yano was introduced, I was amazed that they actually made him rhyme all his lines (or at least introduce some rhythm). Even the translation was keeping up!
Tumblr media
Episode 8.
Heā€™s an asshole, but he makes funny faces.
Tumblr media
Episode 12.
Funny faces :))
------
Sekiguchi
Tumblr media
Episode 10.
Sekiguchi provides a very good example of how bad guys can use your social media data. This is practically a PSA.
DONā€™T POST TOO MUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION ONLINE!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Episode 11.
I still need an explanation why Nikaido had to do the lifting WHEN SEKIGUCHI, A LITERAL HUGE THUG, IS RIGHT THERE. Itā€™s not like he doesnā€™t want to get his hands dirty, heā€™s already filthy AF at the 2nd pic!!
Tumblr media
Episode 12.
About to beĀ ā€œarrestedā€, still worried about Yanoā€™s rhyming. ^^;
------
Yamamoto
Tumblr media
Episode 2.
Right off the bat, we immediately know that he... has his own share of secrets.
Tumblr media
Episode 5.
...But that he also genuinely cares for the girls.
...To some extent, as shown in that entire taxi ride :))
------
Ichimura
Tumblr media
Episode 3.
ā€œOh no.ā€
Obviously, anybody who shows interest in you, Kakihana, after you misrepresent your salary... probably should be red-flagged. Of course, we the viewers immediately know that sheā€™s being tailed by her manager, so we have an idea that sheā€™s being roped into it.
Tumblr media
Episode 8.
I canā€™t even-
------
Nikaido
Tumblr media
Episode 2.
This Nikaido - sheā€™s seen some things.
Tumblr media
Episode 7.
Damn, probably done some things as well! D:
Also, that entire thing where Sekiguchi refused to carry Mitsuyaā€™s body?
Nikaido is strong!!!
Idols are scary, man.
------
Mitsuya
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Episode 11.
Itā€™s saddening because Mitsuya genuinely wanted to support Nikaido. Had she not gone to the office that night, things would have been much different for all of us.
------
Wadagaki
Tumblr media
Episode 5.
ā€œWhy is she helping Tanaka???ā€ Of course, I thought she was Mitsuya at this point.
Also, she really loves karaage, huh. I wondered if that was a clue, but I guess not. ^^
...Itā€™s not, right..?
Tumblr media
Episode 13.
Need I say more about this scene?
------
Goriki
Tumblr media
Episode 1.
THIS WAS CONFUSING, MAN.
Tumblr media
Episode 1.
Also, that entire exchange about cassette tapes and Bruce Springsteen ^^;
ā€œDamn these guys are oldā€ LOL
-----
Odokawa
Tumblr media
Episode 1.
I like how... rude he is :))
Tumblr media
Episode 3.
And so done with bullshit :))
Tumblr media
Episode 8.
I do remember when he sneezed while taking the photo, in order to hide the shutter sound. Smart :^)
...
Odokawaā€™s in a weird position because even though heā€™s the main character, I remember him more for moving the story rather than being a character, if that makes sense. Sorry! >_<
Tumblr media
Episode 13.
Of course, thereā€™s the entire sequence of him flying his taxi...Ā But again, thatā€™s more of a nod to the story, not him. If it counts asĀ ā€œmemorable scene involving Odokawaā€, then there you go! That final sequence was just beautiful to watch. ^^
------
AND FINALLY!
------
Shirakawa
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Episode 2.
Shirakawaā€™s just a straight-up lovable character. I love that Odokawa canā€™t handle her XD That entire taxi ride scene was just brilliant.
Tumblr media
Episode 2.
And then she tops it all off with that power move with the front camera.
Tumblr media
Episode 3.
PLUS SHE CAN DO CAPOEIRA!
Tumblr media
Episode 10.
ACTUALLY USABLE-IN-COMBAT CAPOEIRA!
Tumblr media
Episode 13.
EVEN UNDERWATER!
Where do I sign up for the Church of Shirakawa???
Shirakawaā€™s just too damn memorable for me. ^^;
------
Goddamn that was the longest ask Iā€™ve ever answered. I hope my answers were at least satisfactory XD
ODDTAXI AOTY!!
(I didnā€™t realize answering this kind of question would be hard work :ā€™D Compiling screenshots to make a somewhat objective point is surprisingly easier, huh)

Ghost Slander
I know Iā€™ve done this before sorta but this is the Finial List of all the shit thatā€™s really just bad about them. the first half of each is serious bad stuff and the second half is just silly annoying shit they do. I am not apologizing for this so thatā€™s that on that. I also still love them anyways.
Papa I:Ā  too old to do anything. he may be strong and smart, but heā€™s old, and tired, and gets grumpy when heā€™s tired. and when heā€™s grumpy hes a fucking asshole. he really doesnā€™t want to do anything, like go out for a fun day in the city, or try new things. canā€™t teach an old dog ne w tricks, and he doesnā€™t even try tricks heā€™s known about for forty years. He can be boring, and he can be punchy and shitty when heā€™s annoying (I donā€™t mean like punchy as in hitting, just you know when you were grumpy as a kid and you get really irritated and annoyed and kind of just wanna have a hissy fit and cant control it???? that.)
Papa II:Ā  Super emotionally unavailable and it just becomes taxing to try and get him to open up unless heā€™s ready and willing - which, spoiler alert, will never happen. He really does have a shitty temper and when he gets angry he sees red. Refuses to delegate tasks to other people around him because he thinks no one else can do it right. When he does, no matter what they do itā€™s never good enough and he makes all his interns cry and/or quit. for fun: he gets the ā€œman fluā€ in which he will not take medication or go to the doctor until he literally has muscle dystrophy. thinks Advil or Tylenol is some hippy bullshit brainwashing pill invented by liberals that are trying to trick him into being happy. conspiracy theories. thinks aliens built the pyramids. watches ancient aliens in his spare time and never shuts up about it. Unable to use technology, and falls asleep inĀ ā€œspecial chairā€ at home.Ā 
Papa III:Ā cant take no for an answer. he doesn't understand when someone refuses his advances because all of the girls in the clergy falling all over him his whole life has made his head a little too big. if you want major fucking ego, heā€™s the brother for you. if you donā€™t want flowers, and you donā€™t want random extravagant things, heā€™s not the brother for you, because if you tell him you donā€™t like the things heā€™ll assume you hate him and decide that you shouldnā€™t be together anymore. sure, it comes from a place of caring and wanting to spoil his s/o, but fuck, bro, tone it down. Heā€™ll also talk at you for hours even if youā€™re not listening just because he loves the sound of his own voice. It doesnā€™t matter if youā€™re trying to do something else, or are tired, or you just donā€™t care, heā€™ll stop talking when heā€™s ready and only then. For fun:Ā  at a kids soccer game he would be That Dad that screams at the other kids like hes the assistant coach and probably be drunk and fist fight the other drunk dads in their lawn chairs. makes his s/o wax his back before they go to the beach or anywhere he has to be shirtless. its gross and hairy and he wouldn't care if his s/o didnā€™t bully his persian-rug body into it so hard one time he canceled a vacation.Ā 
Copia: He has no back bone. Heā€™ll work until people give him what wants but heā€™ll never come right out and say it, in any kind of relationship or work. Youā€™ll constantly be guessing whether or not what he said has a second meaning and if itā€™s really want he wants or heā€™s been waiting for you to figure it out the whole time. Itā€™s fucking annoying. Heā€™ll never be the one to put his foot down, or silence a room, or command attention like the other papaā€™s have, he just doesnā€™t have it in him. For fun: Calls his stomach hisĀ ā€œspare tireā€ like what the fuck who says that?? Talks to everyone, you literally have to drag him away from talking to strangers. The person next to him at the cafe has their headphones in and heā€™s just chatting away. Small talk but just gets worse, and he subjects everyone to it.Ā  rides one of those bikes where you're basically lying down and doesn't shut the fuck up about how low impact it is on your back and knees. thinks the government is out to get him and everyone else but doesn't put two and two together and still has a google home thing or an alexa, buys that facebook skype camera thing for your tv that literally follows you when he walks. he just thinks their neat.
Dewdrop: Has a hot temper and genuinely gets mean when he lashes out. He doesnā€™t care that everyone has to chase after him all the time and has no remorse for what they have to do for him or what he ruins for them. Heā€™s gonna do whatever he wantā€™s whenever he wants and no one can tell him otherwise - everyone thinks this is so fun and quirky and great until itā€™s been a few months and theyā€™re wondering why Dew hasnā€™t calmed down even a little. Heā€™s too self obsessed to even care what other people want for him. A total mess wherever he goes, eats all the soap and candles and doesnā€™t replace them.Ā 
Swiss:Ā  saying someone is too good at everything doesn't sound like an insult, but it does when they brag about it. Swiss has always been the multi ghoul, meaning hes always been pretty good at everything, but never specialized in something. so rather than do more to hide the fact heā€™s a jack of all trades but master of none, he just brags about every tiny little thing he does. hes like 6ā€² but his ego is like 8ā€²4ā€³. Insanely jealous in relationships which can cause problems.Ā heā€™s a liar. there. i said it. unless heā€™s your s/o, if his mouth is moving, itā€™s probably a lie. whether hes bigging up his own adventures, or trying to cover his tracks about where he was and who he was with, its probably all bullshit. the only reason he doesnā€™t lie to his partners is because he HATES being lied to in return and if he has feelings for you its a little harder to just shut you out once you realize heā€™s full of it. He mostly lies for fun, and partly just to see what people will really believe, so it getā€™s wilder and wilder every time. Refuses to do anything thatā€™s boring to him like clean or do laundry, but he hates disgusting messes so heā€™ll just pay someone else to do it.Ā 
Mountain: Disgustingly messy. When I walk into a room i leave a hurricane of my shit everywhere, but if you took an actual hurricane and put it in his bedroom, you wouldnā€™t be able to tell the difference. No one in the whole church will go near his room, partly for the smell, partly for the fact of that there is no where to stand that isnā€™t a foot high with garbage and dirty clothes. If he cleaned his room i think a new disease would be unlocked. Super stubborn, and inpatient. Heā€™s pretty chill, but refuses to wait for anything without getting super annoyed, and itā€™s impossible to change his mind about literally anything once itā€™s made up. Trying to debate him about anything is a fucking nightmare.Ā 
Aether:Ā  when youā€™ve been together for a while, and youā€™re comfortable with each other, things can get boring. heā€™ll stop taking you on dates every week, and stop thanking you profusely for everything you do, and stop treating you like a queen. things will get stale quickly, so unless youā€™re into routine, steer fucking clear or you're doomed.Ā  when heā€™s in a shitty mood, he will say literally anything to you to get you away from him. he just wants to be left alone and if you wont let that happen heā€™ll break up with you, tell you to fuck off, tell you to get away from him, tell you to go fuck yourself, whatever it takes. he doesnā€™t mean it, and even if he knows that deep down, youā€™re still causing the problem by existing, in his mind. refuses to accept that there may be a different way to do things. itā€™s Aetherā€™s way or the highway and that's it. he thinks that if somethings easier, or faster than the way he does it, then itā€™s not being done right, and itā€™s fucking annoying how he wastes so much time doing stupid simple tasks because its the way he was taught and its the way heā€™ll do them until he dies
Rain: A baby. An actual baby. Needy and clingy and even a little bit pathetic sometimes. Here and there it can be cute and you might feel the need to nurture him, but honestly most people canā€™t handle it all the time but for Aether. He constantly needs attention in the exact way he wants and if he doesnā€™t get it heā€™ll whine and cry and try and make you feel like shit. Maybe itā€™s manipulation, maybe itā€™s not. Who knows. But you have to make sure he eats properly, make sure he gets dressed properly, make sure he sleeps, pretty much be a parent to him half the time. The amount of emotional labor is borderline slavery. His attitude is insane, and heā€™s sassy and bossy all the time as if heā€™s actually in control, and if you tell him otherwise heā€™ll scream (at the top of his lungs). Uses baby talk at an inappropriate timing and makes people uncomfortableĀ  sometimes.
Cumulus: Collects tiny little themed knick knacks that are literally everywhere and take up all the space in her and Cirrusā€™ little sapphic cottage. Nosey and wants to know everyoneā€™s business all the time. The only person she tells is Cirrus but she wonā€™t rest unless she knows every detail about a persons life and drama.
Cirrus: Leaves all the lights on wherever she goes. Leaves all the cupboards open. All the lights are on so much that it lights up the whole house all night, and people call them to tell them to either close their blinds or turn the fucking lights off.

Whatā€™s your take on Cloudā€™s depression during AC? People on twitter are suddenly talking about this, again. This matter was brought up by those antis saying that we Clotis should accept the fact that Tifa wasnā€™t the one who ā€œhealedā€ Cloud and that she was also being mean and not considerate whatsoever. The funny thing is that, they also accused us of denying his depression and not understanding it. TF. Letā€™s be real, Tifa played a major part, in fact she gave him morale thx to her ā€œscoldingā€ lol
Hey anon..Ā 
Yeah, Twitter has me depressed today. I think it started last night. I was enjoying it for a bit, but the last week or two have been so bad over there with bullshit that Iā€™m about to just take a break from the entire fandom.Ā 
My Take on AC Cloud:
I watched AC when it first came out, and I barely remember it. I remember I didnā€™t like what they did. Why was Cloud so depressed and brooding? Oh Aerith is in this? Interesting. I felt like it was disjointed and removed a lot of the great progress Cloud made in OG. They kept this depressed, brooding guy in KH as well... It just didnā€™t seem right to me. I was young, too.Ā 
At this point we also didnā€™t have On the Way to a Smile, Crisis Core, or anything else, really.. None of the Ultimanias were in English at this point. I also was not interested enough in going online. It was a weird time when I was playing other things and was meh on FF7 for a while. I was always a FF8 fangirl, so was jealous of FF7 at times hahaha. It got so much more attention and love.Ā 
It took me a long time to watch it again. I remember my husband watching it before Remake came out and I felt mad or sad. It was like an emotion from memory, and I didnā€™t know why. I canā€™t describe it. I saw it on the TV and was like why is this on here...Ā 
After playing Remake, I bit the bullet and ordered AC Complete, which had things tweaked and added. I also am now in my 30ā€²s and have a lot more life experience.
Antis like to say Cloud is depressed solely because Aerith is dead and he wants to be with her. This may be one of the reasons I didnā€™t like AC, because when I did happen to come across some FF7 thing online, Iā€™d see this shit and be like whatever, that makes no sense.Ā 
I enjoyed ACC. My heart was actually pounding and I was nervous/intrigued by what was going on even though I knew the story. I havenā€™t read all of CoT yet, but Iā€™ve seen the excerpts online, so I know the general gist of things.
Based strictly on ACC:
Cloud is really upset that Denzel is sick. Heā€™s obsessively looking up medical stuff to figure out how to cure it - this is shown with everything all over his desk. Heā€™s closed in on himself to do this. I did the same shit when my dad had cancer. I did it for three fucking years while he was alive - from the time he got diagnosed to the day he was dying. Every damn day I looked up articles, research, and theories. Itā€™s not healthy. Itā€™s depressing and I closed myself off from the world half the time and didnā€™t realize it. Thank God my husband is a patient saint.Ā 
Cloud does care a lot about Tifa. His reaction alone at seeing her knocked out in the church is heart wrenching. When theyā€™re brought back to Seventh Heaven, Cloud pops right up when he sees Tifa there. He then stays with her until she wakes up. This is a pretty good amount of time. The sun is up when heā€™s looking over her, and when she wakes up, itā€™s dark outside. He could have slipped out again without her noticing if he really wanted to. Iā€™m sure he may have contemplated it.Ā 
She calls his ass out on how heā€™s acting. She knows heā€™s sick at this point. This was huge for Tifa whoā€™s not confrontational. He clearly doesnā€™t want to completely disconnect, or he would have gotten rid of his cell phone voluntarily. He doesnā€™t. They actually show him checking his messages.Ā 
Ultimately Cloud leaves because he ends up with Geostigma. Thatā€™s the last straw. He canā€™t face the fact that heā€™s going to die and what itā€™ll do to his family, so he leaves. Listen, I think the only reason my dad didnā€™t try to leave when he was diagnosed was because he had nowhere to go and by time he started verbalizing wanting to leave, he was physically unable to. Yes, I remember him being angry because he was hospitalized again and he told my mom he was going to get an apartment by himself so she didnā€™t know when he was getting bad. Itā€™s very hurtful to even think it, and even worse when you know they donā€™t actually mean it... They do it because they donā€™t want to see their family hurt.Ā 
The setup he has at the church as hisĀ ā€œlivingā€ area is super depressing. It looks like something a homeless person sets up. He legit was going to wait to die. He had a lot of knowledge about this, so he figured there was nothing he could do.Ā 
Marlene calls Cloud out on his bullshit too. Cloud admits to her he doesnā€™t think he can take care of anybody. Marlene Barrret quotes him and itā€™s cute. I think Cloud appreciated it and I think it made him think.
In ACC, Cloud has a short conversation with Aerith. Aerith seems almost annoyed with him likeĀ ā€œwtf is your deal, dudeā€ kind of attitude. Zack shows up when heā€™s bloody and half dead fighting Sephiroth to encourage him. There are scenes with him talking at Zackā€™s grave and saying he couldnā€™t keep his promise to him. He flat out tells Aerith he wants to be forgiven. He doesnā€™t say I miss you, I want to be with you, none of that happens. In fact, itā€™s mainly her telling him HE needs to start doing some forgiving - ultimately to himself.Ā 
When Cloud is in limbo - between living and dying - Cloud saysĀ ā€œMom.ā€ Very romantic, I know. Then Zack and Aerith have a conversation very similar to a couple thatā€™s going to adopt a child and they tell Cloud heā€™s too big for them. This is theĀ ā€œI see the lightā€ and the person on the other side is likeĀ ā€œnah bro go back, not your time yet.ā€
He wakes up, Tifa and crew is there, he smiles at Tifa... and itā€™s a happy ending. He sees both Zack AND Aerith at the end, and they walk off in to the light together all cute and shit.
Adding in Things from the Novels/Interviews/Thoughts:
The devs have said Cloud was happy with his family and that scared him. The happier he got, the more scared he got. We know he cherishes everything. He especially cherishes the family he has.
Cloudā€™s depression spiral started from the high anxiety of having a happy life and Elmyra asking him to deliver flowers to Aerithā€™s grave. Now, I have my feelings about this, but when I look at it logically, I donā€™t think Elmyra ultimately does this out of spite. I actually donā€™t think Elmyra thinks Cloud and Aerith were a thing - so it wasnā€™t that either. I think she knew Cloud was friends with her and maybe heā€™d want to deliver some flowers - to give him some business.Ā 
This flower delivery reminds Cloud of what he thinks is his failure to protect somebody else. At this point he has his memories of what happened to Nibelheim, his mother, Tifa, and Zack. The Sector 7 plate drop and Aerith are the most recentĀ ā€œfailuresā€. So this brings up Aerith.
Then Denzel comes along and heā€™s an orphan because his parents were... yeah... killed during the Sector 7 plate collapse. Double ouch. But Cloud and Tifa are going to take care of him.
Tifa herself has a lot of guilt because of the same reasons, she just deals with it very differently. Tifa tells Cloud to bring Denzel right home. She can make amends by adopting him in to her family and caring for him. Cloud thinks Aerith brought Denzel to him (Tifa corrects him). This is a Cloud thing, itā€™s not romantic. Cloud doesnā€™t know the guilt Tifa feels. He legit thinks all of this is his fault. Tifaā€™s guilt stems from the fact that Shinra drops the plate because Avalanche was in Sector 7 - she was in Avalanche. She feels guilty about Aerith because she thinks its her fault Aerith followed them to Don Corneoā€™s mansion. The thing is, Aerith doesnā€™t blame EITHER of them - I just wish theyā€™d cover a Tifa/Aerith conversation about this as well...Ā 
Cloud and Tifa do have fights in the novels from what I understand, but itā€™s because heā€™s acting weird. He feels bad hiding the fact that heā€™s been going to the church a lot, and I think that does turn in to a whole LTD debate. So you can take this as Tifa is jealous that heā€™s going to the church all the time or sheā€™s upset that he is hiding from her.Ā 
In the novels, Tifa has a breakdown when they go see the church after they defeat Sephiroth. This is where you get to see how badly Aerithā€™s death impacted her. So my thought is... Cloud thinks bringing her to the church hurts her because of her feelings, not because sheā€™s jealous. I think Cloud is oblivious to the jealousy thing, honestly. Donā€™t think itā€™s a thought in his mind.Ā 
I honestly donā€™t know the real reason why he goes to the church to hide. I think this is another point of fight with both sides. My personal take is there was nowhere else he could go and be alone. Most of the stuff had been destroyed. It was still close by, so he could still do his work and keep an eye on things/be nearby.
There is a quote that is taken to be literal, but I think itā€™s just a way to say it wouldnā€™t have mattered who Cloud wasĀ ā€œwith.ā€ Yes, Tifa and Cloud have issues, and I believe the quote goesĀ ā€œPerhaps it would have gone better with Aerith, but I think her responsibility is too great. Maybe the children will help them with their issues.ā€ This isnā€™t exact, but itā€™s the jist of what they said. The children do help them - thatā€™s the point of the scenes with Marlene, to slap him silly with reality.Ā 
ā€œOh but he sees Aerith when the building is falling.ā€ Yes, you know why? Because he thinks thatā€™s going to happen to Tifa. This is aĀ ā€œNO Iā€™M NOT LETTING THIS HAPPEN.ā€ moment. On top of it, I donā€™t think anybody would be right again if they saw this happen. If my neighbor was impaled by a large sword in their back, Iā€™d be messed up from it. I donā€™t really know my neighbors. Heā€™s not replaying this death scene in his head cuz he misses Aerith, heā€™s playing it in his head because itā€™s traumatic and he doesn't want to see this happen to Tifa. Especially Tifa.Ā 
Itā€™s been put in Ultimanias time and time again that Cloudā€™s feelings are for Tifa. I went through my Ultimania - which only covers OG - and it doesnā€™t say anything about Cloudā€™s side of the CA argument. It does say how he feels about Tifa in the Lifestream, though.Ā 
TheĀ ā€œHe wants to die for her, see, thatā€™s why heā€™s going to the church and waiting.ā€ No, he doesnā€™t want to die or else he wouldnā€™t be so depressed. Just thinking this is fucked up on so many levels. If he really wanted to die and be with her, heā€™d be happy he got an incurable illness, Iā€™d think... Cloud leaves Tifa and them because he doesnā€™t want to hurt him with him dying and not being able to stop it.Ā 
The other thing that would be... weird... Zack is in the Lifestream with Aerith. They walk off together for a reason. I donā€™t think sheā€™s going to just drop Zack for Cloud since the whole reason she was initially interested in Cloud was because of the similarities to Zack. He had the same sword, the same clothes, and in OG had some of the same mannerisms. I noticed the dropped the squatting in Remake - the random squatting.
The ending of ACC implies that now that Geostigma is cured and Sephiroth is (hopefully) gone for good, Cloud can be happy. Iā€™m not saying that his smile fixes everything. Iā€™m sure that him and Tifa had to work on things, but you can see in DoC that things seem to be much better - heā€™s more upbeat and happy. Heā€™s more dorky, like he should be.Ā 
Sorry this is long. I have a lot of feelings about all this stuff today. Iā€™ve been seeing the fights over on Twitter about it and.. yeah. Cloud is depressed because of the fact heā€™s dying, his kid is dying, and he canā€™t seem to do anything right in his mind.
Thanks for the ask.Ā

The Devil Amongst the Dead
Summary: It has been some time since the Kengan Annihilation Tournament and while many believed Ohma Tokita [The Asura] to be dead he is in fact still alive. Hidden in the Kure Village and recovering from his heart transplant performed by none other than Hanafusa Hajime [The Dissector]Ā himself. But this story is not about him. No itā€™s about the Kure Clanā€™s strongest but most out of control member. Kure RaianĀ [The Devil]Ā and what would be his usual assassination contract takes an unexpected turn when he is sent to an island city with just as much crime and corruption as The Inside. This city is called Roanapur. Known to many who live there as the city of the dead.
Prologue: The Devil Approaches
[Six Months After the Kengan Annihilation Tournament]
Black sclera eyes slowly open up to see a clear blue sky. The scent of sea salt from the ocean is heavy as the sounds of seagulls can be heard overhead. ā€œHm, must be here alreadyā€ thought the young man as he sat up from where he was laying down from. Rubbing his black sclera eyes and taking in his surroundings to still be on top of a shipping container on board a cargo ship he stowed away on. He looked around to see he was close to his destination and from a distance he saw a large headless Buddha statue carved in a tall rock and beyond that further away is a city resting on an island.
ā€œHeh, so this is where the bastard is hidingā€ he scoffed to himself ā€œabout time I got here, I was getting tired of hiding on this piece of shit like a fuckn rat ā€ he said as he stood up to get a better view as the cargo ship approaching the island. The man on board this cargo is none other the Kure Raian. A member of the infamous Kure Clan that has been around for 1,300 year. Looking back on the events that led up to this Raian started to wonder ā€œwhy did the old man pick me for this shit?. Normally I couldā€™ve been sent off to wipe out a crime syndicate, a terrorists cell, or even some elitist asshole with enough money to hire a private army. At least those got my blood pumping.ā€ Irritated that he couldā€™ve been on a job that usually left a trail of body has Raian pissed off at the fact he allowed the old man tricked him into taking this contract in the first place.
[48 hours ago in the Kure Village Around a particular city, 500 kilometersĀ away from Tokyo]
Kure Erioh the Patriarch of the Kure Clan was given an unusual commission for a contract by an anonymous client, to a place he hasnā€™t been to in years, Roanapur. An old Thai port in southern Thailand, where the deserters and the losers of the Vietnam War took refuge and were joined by the worst villains and criminals of the planet. Prostitutes, drug-addicts, mercenaries, killers, and psychopaths of any nationalities compose the population of Roanapur.
Eriohā€™s knowledge of this crime infested cesspool is limited due to only have gone there during his time as The Fang. Any useful information is hard to come by without a inside source. But luckily for him he has just the right man for the job. Having his great-grandson summoned to the main room of the Traditional Japanese house, Raian walked in and approached the head of the Clan ā€œWhat do ya want grandfather?ā€ Raian said clearly annoyed at being called upon, Erioh didnā€™t seem to care of his grandson's annoyance. ā€œI got a job for you Raian, something to get you more active since The Tournamentā€ Raian arched an eyebrow at this ā€œwell Iā€™m not interested in whatever bullshit you got for me, get one of The Three Stooges to run your damn errands.ā€ Raian referring to Kure Hollis, Kure Reiichi, and Kure Horio. ā€œTheir each fulfilling their own obligations at the moment. And Iā€™m sure that this contract will not bore the likes of you, if i was to send you, their is nobody more suited for this contract, or must i send someone else take this contract.ā€ He said while stroking his chin in thought. ā€œPerhaps this might be that too much for you to handle you spoiled brat.ā€
Erioh said mockingly while giving Raian a challenging smirk. Raian returns the smirk with a murderous grin of his own. ā€œBetter watch it old man or I might just kill you right here and nowā€ he said as he took a step closer to his elder. ā€œYou can try boy, but as I stated before, Iā€™m not going to let some snot-nose brat kill me just yet. Besides I think youā€™ll find that this worthwhile if you were to listen for once, I can be sure of that.ā€
Erioh calmly said as he stood up from where he was sitting and headed towards the door, Raian adamantly followed right behind him. ā€œEver since your fight against Tokita Ohma and Hayami Katsumasa'sĀ Guardians back on Ganryu Island you have not been active in these past six months.ā€ Erioh gave Raian a glance over his shoulder as they walk down the long halls of the Traditional Japanese house. ā€œYeah so what, still havenā€™t give me a damn good reason why I should take this job in the first place.ā€ Raian angrily said ā€œPatience Raian, patience. First youā€™ll need to be informed on your targetā€ arriving at the back door of the house Erioh opened the door to reveal Kure Fusui.
Raianā€™s younger sister and the liaison between the Kure Clan and the Kengan Association, she turned around to greet her grandfather ā€œHello grandfather, how are you doing?ā€ she said to while walking up to and embracing him in a hug. ā€œOh Iā€™m doing just fine donā€™t worry about this old man, tell me how have you been my dear?ā€ Erioh said being the doting grandfather he is known for amongst the the Kure Clan. Fusui smiled and perked up ā€œIā€™m doing great grandfather, and before you ask Karla is doing good as well both in school and at home, and Mr. Yamashita though still broken up about Ohma, heā€™s done quite well from himself these past few months. Speaking of Ohma, how is he doing?ā€ She asked curiously. ā€œOh donā€™t you worry my dear Fusui, Tokita Ohma is doing just fine and with the help of our secret healing techniques, he will recover in no time.ā€
ā€œIā€™m glad to hear thatā€ she said with a smile. ā€œSo what are you and big bro up to?ā€ she asked just noticing that her older brother was standing there with his arms crossed. ā€œRemember that special task i asked of you before you left?ā€ He asked. Fusui perked up ā€œThat Roanapur job right?.ā€ Erioh nodded ā€œWell from what I could gather Iā€™ve confirmed the target has been spotted there but it seems like heā€™s hired one of the local gangs as hired muscle, so getting to him quickly wonā€™t be so easy, and even if you manage to take care of both of them the other gangs will most likely jump in, which will make things more complicatedā€ she stated ā€œWell that wonā€™t be much of an issue, because your brother will be taking the contract, wonā€™t you Raianā€ Erioh said in a taunting manner.
ā€œYou sure about that grandfather, I mean I have no doubt big bro can deal with this no problem but-ā€ Fusui was then interrupted by her brother ā€œHey now the old man has been very persistent about this shit, so tell me whoā€™s the fucker that the old bastard is sending me kill and I might just consider it.ā€ Raian said eagerly ā€œOh, umm alright then.ā€ She then pulls out a laptop from inside her bag and passes it to Raian.
Raian takes the laptop, opening it up to see the screen presented to him.
[Contract Briefing]
ā€¢Target name: Dr. Alton Blonsky
ā€¢Age: 59
ā€¢ Occupation: Bioengineer/Geneticist
ā€¢ Adjective: Eliminate Dr. Blonsky and destroy any and all research found and eliminate any and all who would stand between your adjective.
ā€¢ Last Confirmed Location: Roanapur, Thailand
ā€¢ Target Price: $50,000,000
ā€¢ Target information: Dr.Blonsky is a Bioengineer and Geneticist and researcher for genetics he has went into hiding after it was discovered you was selling his unethical research on the black market for the highest bidder. Years after his disappearance sources have spotted him active in the city of Roanapur. He is seemingly under the employment/protection of the local criminal organization.
ā€¢ Payment Method: Upon accepting this contract the first half of the payment will be sent through wireless transaction method of your choice. And receive other half of payment upon completion.
[End of Briefing]
ā–”Accept ā–”Decline
Raian closed the laptop and handed it back to Fusui. ā€œSo some mad scientist is selling trying the secret of immorality or some shit right?ā€ Taking the laptop back and placing it back inside her bag Fusui shook her head and said ā€œI donā€™t know the details on what he was working on or whoā€™s he trying to sell his research too, all I know is that some very big players are going to be interested in buying whatever he has cooking up, so whatever heā€™s making it must be a really big deal.ā€ Erioh then stepped into the conversation. ā€œSo, Raian tell me do you accept?ā€
[48 hours later on the Ports of Roanapur]
As the crew of the cargo ship started to unload their shipments and do an inventory check Raian snuck pass all of the of the crew without them even noticing he was there. Now heading to the main street through the docks he pulls a piece of paper Fusui has given him before taking off with all contact information he will be needing during his time here. ā€œDonā€™t plan on being here long but this shit will come in handy when I need it.ā€ He said to himself as he reads off the address for his safe house with a side note at the below saying.
ā€œWhile youā€™re there can you do me a huge solid and pick up a modified sniper rifle I ordered there, it shouldā€™ve been sent out days ago but since youā€™re there you can do it for me please, appreciate it bro.
-Love your favorite sister Fusui.ā™„ļøŽā€
Raian could only scoff while reading the note his sister left him. ā€œThe hell does she think I am, her errand boyā€ reading the address the only thing it said was The Church of Violence ā€œI donā€™t got time for this shitā€ he said as he balled up the piece of paper and placed it back inside his pocket before walking off towards the direction of his safe house.
The city of Roanapur is known for many things, one of which is being the world capital for crime and corruption, for criminals and madmen to thrive. But now The Devil has arrived, beware for the man know as The Devil has come, and he will destroys any and all that stands in his way.
Author's Note: Hey yaā€™ll, if you havenā€™t figured it out yet this is a Kengan Ashura x Black Lagoon crossover the idea kinda popped in head one day and I was like ā€œhow am I going to make this workā€ so days of brainstorming later Iā€™ve my story layout but the question was who am I going to send from kengan to the den of criminals, and obviously my first choice was Raian but the i thought about it some more and thought about having Agito Kanoh, Hatsumi Sen, Muteba Gizenga, Kiryu Setsuna, hell even Tokita Niko came to mind. The setting of black lagoon takes place in the early 1990s so it make a lot more sense for Niko to be there timeline wise but after talking about it with another writer here I stuck with Kure Raian, now this is my first fanfiction, like every but that will be no excuse for my writing to be shit, like spelling mistakes or grammar errors or major OFC. Iā€™ll doĀ my best to stay faithful to each character. And since Iā€™ve picked Raian for this story, Iā€™ll be making some small changes to the black lagoon universe to fit with the world of Kengan. If you haven'tĀ noticed IĀ implied that Kure Erioh has been to Roanapur in the past, who know IĀ might just make a side story exploringĀ that plot point...maybe. Ok thatā€™s enough of me ranting for now, until next time.

so, as everybody knows, our man, the lovely mark strong, turned 57 this past august 5th
Tumblr media
since the kingsman films have had a huge influence on several aspects of my day-to-day life (gee, wonder what group of people i could be referring to...), i decided to sit down and do something iā€™ve been thinking about since getting my medical card earlier this year: getting high as a kite and watching them back-to-back.
to celebrate markā€™s birthday, i decided to do another running commentary post like the one i did for rocknrolla ages ago, under the cut. itā€™s a pretty similar style, which is to say not necessarily super coherent and might be hard to understand if youā€™ve never seen the movies. D:
there are some mentions of the roanoke society, but not many.
if even just one person finds this mildly entertaining for four seconds, then iā€™ll have done my job. there is a lot of cursing and this is NOT spoiler-free.
enjoy~
edited 9.1.20 to correct typos and such, please remember that i was Not Sober while i wrote this lmao
Tumblr media
how many times have i watched these movies at this point? i donā€™t even know. Ā 
i always liked the nifty likeā€”retro arcade marv opening animation
and the thing with the tapes! we love book-ending devices!
kingsman: badass motherfuckers worldwide incorporated
like why was merlin even with them? i understand why lee and james would be there, but merlin, was he not acting quartermaster then?
i have SO MANY FEELINGS about lee unwin
i think it haunts harry and merlin more than anyone thinks, but these are fun spy movies so we just donā€™t talk about trauma and shit, donā€™tcha know
donā€™t look at how merlin tears up and tell me he doesnā€™t drink about it *HEAVILY* later
itā€™s such a stark contrast to see the 1990s interior vs. what itā€™s like when eggsyā€™s grown :(
michelle baby iā€™m so sorry. you deserved better than this.
and BABY EGGSY
omg. like this scene is both heartbreaking but is also adorable.
colin firth has gd anime legs, that dude had to straight up unfold himself as he stood up lmao
aaannnnd swooping logo, whooooo, goinā€™ over some mountains~
and mark hamill, ladies and gentlemen!
this whole thing with james deciding to kinda go rogue makes me wish that we knew more about his backstory as well. like, is this james being james, or was this a weird one-off situation and he was just unlucky?
YES unlucky. nobody could plan for the hurricane of sleek destruction that is gazelle
who has one of my favorite aesthetic designs as a villain (although i guess iā€™d put her more on maybe henchman level? but idk, it seems like valentine looked at her more as a partner, less like an assistant? and they had a very interesting chemistry together too, like i wouldā€™ve added more valentine x gazelle scenes)
i would LOVE to be this chill about justā€”draping blankies over bodies
blankies over bodies sounds like a cool band name
DIBS you guys canā€™t have it
i am SO GLAD samuel l. jackson gave valentine a lisp!
valentine, to me, does fit a lot of the usual spy movie villain tropes
but since this movie doesnā€™t take itself super serious, itā€™s more fun than annoying
and we never hear about any of the other knights?? like
half of this is just gonna be me whining for additional footage that there just wouldnā€™t have been room for realistically lmao
michael caine, you are lovely
MARK STRONG, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN
WITH LEGS THAT DONā€™T QUIT AND AN ACCENT THAT Iā€™D DIE FOR
iā€™m an embarrassment
like letā€™s all stop and thank god that mark didnā€™t have time to learn the welsh accent
not that i wouldā€™ve been disappointed, because all accents are good accents on this blog
but at this point i canā€™t imagine merlin asā€”not scottish
ā€œtry picking a more suitable candidate this timeā€
arthur you DICK
like were you this cold-blooded when lee died, you fuckinā€™ reptilian-ass son of a bitch
no wonder you were charlieā€™s pledge person thing
and enter the fabulous taron egerton, stage left!
DEAN you are DISGUSTING
god, michelle, you need better friends, if you were my bro this entire relationship wouldā€™ve never happened
;-; and eggsyā€™s so sweet with his sister! i know there probably wasnā€™t ā€œroomā€ for it but i AM glad that there are scenes showing that family is one of eggsyā€™s kinda ā€œcore valuesā€or whatever you want to call it
dude is a hufflepuff through and through imo
can you imagine eggsy as a villain? we would be so fucked. heā€™s sly, heā€™s smart, he couldā€™ve made life v e r y difficult for lots of people if he really wanted to
but look at him with the squad!
eggsyā€™s just like the british version of a good olā€™ boy
this car scene is some dukes of hazzard bullshit (ramp-jumping and fun car horn aside)
if butterflies are harryā€™s main symbolic critter, would foxes be eggsyā€™s? or would it be a pug instead? i guess thatā€™s like asking if harry would be either a butterfly or a cairn terrier, like mr. pickle. letā€™s say both.
this fandom is pretty on top of character associations like that
you get symbolic associations! YOU get symbolic associations! EVERYONE gets symbolic associations whether theyā€™re actually in the canon or not! donā€™t have any? donā€™t worry, weā€™ll assign you at least one!
the guy playing the interviewing officer is ALSO the patriarch in the witch which i didnā€™t realize untilā€”like, a while after
and it was while @circlesofboneā€‹ was visiting, and we were just ā€œoh, okay, guess we canā€™t escape this cast at all, this is fineā€
ā€œyour father saved my life.ā€
harry youā€™re such a fucking peacock, waiting all posted up and posing so youā€™ll look cool
you big doofus
iā€™d kill to be inside his head during this first conversation with eggsy though
like is eggsy like lee? is harry seeing lee the entire time heā€™s talking to his son, in his mannerisms, how he carries himself, how he speaks?
or is eggsy the opposite? whichā€”i donā€™t know if that would somehow be sadder?
thereā€™s just a lot going on in the background of this bit thatā€™s left up to interpretation
ā€œalthough iā€™m sure itā€™s well-foundedā€”ā€œ
harryā€™s just so casual about this entire thing, nobodyā€™s that casual without practice
harry you rabble-rouser, what kind of life have you led
ā€œmanners. maketh. man.ā€
our timeless motto, my flowers
kingsman STILL to this DAY has some of the most well-choreographed fight scenes iā€™ve ever seen??
like yeah the church scene but even just this initial bar fight
harry couldā€™ve been a dancer
in a way i guess he already is
like he moves so fluidly and gracefully, it is BONKERS
colin you did so good! iā€™m so proud!
the way eggsyā€™s just O.O
whether or not you ship hartwin, like, you gotta admit, that was hot
and his BODY LANGUAGE, heā€™s sitting like RAMROD straight, this poor dude lmao
nobody prepares you for a situation like that in public school is all iā€™m saying
harry, exiting stage left like a suave, smooth motherfucker
remember when iggy azalea was relevant
ugghhhh i hate this part
ā€œI WASNā€™T WITH NO ONEā€
can you imagine being harry hart listening to your dead friendā€™s son getting the shit beat out of him
like, surely he heard the cleaver, he knows dean was going to fucking gut eggsy right?
listen to how cold and icy his voice gets, oof
yeah, heā€™s pissed, and dean is lucky
PARKOUR
ugh, i want to go to london ;-; i want to walk in front of the shop and visit harryā€™s house and kiss cute english boys
iā€™d like to think harryā€™s super excited to show eggsy everything but heā€™s gotta keep it dialed back because ā€œdecorumā€
the way eggsy pauses though
ā€œcome on.ā€
and he says it so softly.
if i was eggsy, iā€™d be nervous, too.
but i didnā€™t realize how quickly harry tries to give off signals like ā€œhey thereā€™s no reason to be scared.ā€
ā€œlike my fair lady?ā€ ā€œwell, youā€™re full of surprises.ā€ <3 one of my favorite sceneeesss.
harryā€™s voice is so soothing but eggsy is so freaked out by the elevator that heā€™s justā€”thereā€™s no room for anything else beyond processing the elevator lmao
ā€œhow deep does this fucking thing go?ā€ asking the real questions
aannnddd KINGSMAN BULLET TRAIN
iā€™d like to think they have like soft jazz or something playing in there
and then they get to the hangar and there are obviously a buuuuunch of people out on the tarmac that we justā€”never hear about? i just assume theyā€™re all like technical officers or maybe other agents
ā€œyour father had the same look on his face. ā€¦ as did i.ā€
harry is already rooting for him.
ā€œlate again, sir.ā€
that. brogue.
fuck, i could listen to him talk for hours, scottish accents are my favorite thing
#squadgoals
not a very diverse cast :/
the body bag speeeeech
and of course nobody was in any actual danger, but merlin doesnā€™t want them to know that so he becomes mr. hard as steel, i am emotionally stoic at all times, do not test me you bunch of rugrats
ā€œclassic army technique.ā€
ROXY
ROXY I WANT TO JUST HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS TT.TT
aannnnddd charlie, also
who we mightā€™ve found sympathy for if we knew aaannyytthiinnggg else about his backstory
like, could he just be Like That, yeah
but most people i know who are assholes like that are that way because their parents were first /shrug/
can hardly fault the dude for turning out like that when poison was all he was given to drink
anyone else a hundred percent positive they wouldā€™ve drowned in the first trial
i would absolutely have panicked and bit it
but then again, iā€™m not kingsman material, iā€™m roanoke
and if this is the exact same test that merlin and harry went through, does that mean there might be some weird drowning trauma hidden back in there thatā€™s just ANOTHER thing weā€™re not gonna talk about?
(yes the correct answer is yes)
god thatā€™s such an american response to the problem though
glass canā€™t cause problems if itā€™s in a million pieces!
ā€œyeah you can wipe those smirks off your facesā€¦ā€
i wonder if there was ever a situation where a trainee actually drowned
and i donā€™t mean like amelia, i mean some poor kid who just failed the test
merlin knows how to put the fear of god in people though!
and mark strong, very handsome, yes, very scary, also yes
he and colin both look like theyā€™re 80 percent leg in every single scene
harry literally had brain matter smatter ALL OVER HIS FACE and still somehow had the mental facilities to be aware of those dudes, leave a bomb and dive out of a window (and then escape said dudes)
billy badass, yā€™all
ā€œjust get it done.ā€ okay, i took back what i said earlier, maybe he does see her as more of an assistant, less than a partner. their relationship is weird.
the puppy scene!
ā€œitā€™s a bulldog innit?ā€
YASSSS the golden trio
because of what happened with our other canon charlie has become a weird character for me to watch, like, yeah, i ā€œwatchā€ charlie be himself in tss but the charlie i ā€œseeā€ is likeā€”ā€ourā€ charlie.
ā€œbollocks!ā€ and then he just runs with jb in his vest, makes me smile
aannddd we see valentineā€™s super cool factory
harry your hair gets so long <3
ā€œwater!ā€ wow, who wants to bet that the fact he was instantly screaming means that maybe heā€™s gonna have some stuff to talk about in therapy later
roxy baby iā€™m sorry they made you hold the balloon and have to trust these dumbasses to not shoot you on accident
i would trust roxy to not shoot me
i love, love love valentineā€™s house
itā€™s gorgeous
set design is always such a cool way for filmmakers to include details about a character using pure aesthetics and iā€™m such a slut for it
tilde!
see also: one of the characters done the WORST by these movies imo!
the fact that she not only says no, she says no with enthusiasm and gets blatantly pissed, is one of the best insights we get into tildeā€™s character and then it justā€”gets wasted
like it takes three steps and then gets mowed down in the hallway like her guards
i would never be given the opportunity to be asked if i wanted an implant but i draw the line at having stuff put into my neck
awwww harryā€™s so proud!
that finger point ā€œyeah, see, be more like your uncleā€
merlin is SO TALL
ā€œa bit much innit?ā€
heā€™s justā€”tapping a normal clipboard
ā€¦ nobody wanna talk about how thatā€™s a normal clipboard
anyway
i also love how they show him in professor sweaters for the beginning acts of the movie
definitely a softer aesthetic than one would guess for a dude who apparently did field missions sometime within the past decade or so, but i also have a theory that leeā€™s death directly contributed to merlin maybe being the man behind the screen as opposed to afield
because trauma is a thing but this is a FUN movie so weā€™re NOT gonna talk about it
ā€œyouā€™re gonna be all right. youā€™re top of the class!ā€ this was the scene that made my mom a reggsy shipper
regardless of how you feel about them as a couple, their friendship is one of the best things about this movie, along with their dynamic with charlie, asjdnaskdjna WHY could we not have had a trio movie instead
eggsy you show-off ā€œlemme just throw my arms up and dip outta this plane like itā€™s not a big dealā€
roxy you can do it!
ugh, there goes my baby, off to have a near-death experience under merlinā€™s immediate supervision lmao
ā€œgood girl, rox, glad you made it!ā€
guys, theyā€™re just kids.
i love this big group scene because it reminds us that these are just young folks, still
ā€œmy, my, youā€™re all very cheerful...ā€
ā€œrufus, come on!ā€ dude eggsyā€”and not even just eggsy, charlie and rox too--at least made an attempt at teamwork. you get points for that bro
but man, for all they know, theyā€™re about to beef it in a very permanent way, iā€™d be freaking out too
merlin getting caught up in the drama
because again, heā€™s supposed to know that eggsy has a parachute
i think he wasnā€™t prepared for these two to get that close to not making it and thatā€™s why we see him break face and drop his mug
*WHAM*
i HATE the sound of them landing
itā€™s not like you can hear bones breaking but it hurts me, guys
and then there were three
plus one daddy long legs quartermaster
ā€œif you have a complaint you come here and you whisper it in my ear.ā€
yes SIR
ā€œyou need to take that chip off your shoulder.ā€
merlin comingā€™ in with the tough love portion of the kingsman core squad
thereā€™s no reason for me to think harryā€™s persona was inspired by cruella de ville somehow but i do anyway
she reveals the mcdonaldā€™s and valentine is just :D
idk if he was expecting a specific reaction or was just excited to see a reaction period
valentine is definitely a fun villain, which, given the tone of the movie, makes sense, itā€™s all supposed to be fun
one of the reasons i love kingsman is that itā€™s like, this golden ray of goofy cinematic fuckery in a world of grim!dark remakes and other superhero/spy films who are presented as more serious stories
ā€œand thank you for such aā€”happy, meal.ā€
harry got a puppy smile
but see, then, here at his house heā€™s a lot more relaxed with gazelle! like, patting her butt, etc.
maybe what we see of their relationship is dependent on setting, because valentine himself has it compartmentalized?
perrrrrrhaps
ā€œand i am never, EVER GOING TO AGREE!ā€
tilde, you deserved better, and i think all the weird hate you get from our ohana is unfair
you donā€™t twist a runnerā€™s ankle before the race starts and then get mad when they donā€™t win
your story was mishandled from the beginning
asmr: hanging out with the golden trio watching worrying news in the kingsman trainee bunker room
the way he says ā€œbiblical senseā€ lmao
i have never been able to figure out if the way he says that line is supposed to infer spiritual respect, or lack of it, but i might be looking too into it
ā€œitā€™s an acquired taste, mate.ā€
whatā€”what would you even do if you were at a club and three people as hot as taron, ed and sophie all came up and start talking to you at the same time
like i know the target got up and left pretty quick because of the training exercise
but iā€™d be doing it because iā€™m ugly and if three hot people are all talking me up at a bar something is Bad and Wrong
whichā€”the CAHONES on both eggsy and roxy
they both literally said ā€œyeah iā€™m willing to die for this organization that hasnā€™t even given me a permanent place yet, what of itā€
look at harryā€™s dimples in this scene, he is fighting a huge grin, heā€™s SO PROUD
i know that charlieā€™s response is supposed to be just more fodder into the ā€œcharlie hesketh is a toolā€ fire
but given that iā€™m not unconvinced that his home life wasnā€™t super shitty, likeā€”
idk, this makes this scene a lot less fun to me. it makes it sad.
like, maybe charlie didnā€™t even want to be there deep down, maybe this was all for like, arthur, or his dad, or some other person he looked up to
and the way merlin looks when he tells charlie to go home, the way that heā€™s kinda grimacing? iā€™m wondering if heā€™s along the same kind of feeling. heā€™d know more about charlieā€™s history
have i also mentioned how much i love harryā€™s war room?
ā€œYES harry!ā€
an evil plan is being born!
ā€œtrue nobility is being superior to your former self.ā€
eggsy is still in his club clothes, so likeā€”has he slept? yā€™all let those kids sleep after fucking drugging them, right? ā€¦ guys?
ā€œā€”when one is popping ones cherry.ā€
and eggsy is just CHEESING he is SO EXCITED
am i the only one who wants to learn more about the store clerk guy though?
heā€™s like the one person around whoā€™s legit just there to run the shop
has no idea about any of the spy stuff happening
his name is donald, heā€™s married with three children and has two spaniels he loves
ā€œTHAT is sick.ā€
i would KILL for this room.
i donā€™t need anything in here for any reason but still
foreshadowing, foreshadowing, foreshadowing, more foreshadowingā€”
harry is such a NERD
ā€œput it back, eggsy.ā€
the amount of self-control it would take to not have a sudden change in expression in that moment, omg
i wonder how THAT gets trained up in kingsman
ā€œi guarantee it.ā€ ha, get it, itā€™s a reference to that one commercial
ā€œyā€™allā€”talk so funny.ā€
and this all means that they had a contact at that hat shop and got all that info to them before valentine got there, and somehow made sure he did end up buying a hat that they could also successfully put a bug on, how deep does this goooooo
ā€œjack bauer?ā€
it says a lot about eggsy that out of all the jbā€™s it couldā€™ve been, it was jack
uggghhhhhh of course they HAD to do this scene with eggsy with arthur
obviously harry couldnā€™t do it
i just think most of us would NOT be fans of arthur at this point in the movie, weā€™re all rooting for eggsy, like, he needs this moment with this other character because we gotta drive home that heā€™s an asshole
alsoā€”would have absolutely failed that test
and iā€™m not sorry at all
ā€œwelcome to kingsman--lancelot.ā€
i was really happy that it was a female agent who ended up getting the handle
aannddd more echoes of past scenes, man, nobody can say that this crew wasnā€™t intentional with their cinematography
when eggsy rolls the window down you can see his chest moving up and down, like, he is MAD
dean you asshole
so no wonder he gets so pissed that the car suddenly decides ā€œnope, no, weā€™re not doing this, cā€™monā€
this entire conversation at harryā€™s house isā€”tense
and you donā€™t pick up on it the first time, i donā€™t think, but uh
iā€™m seeing it now
harryā€™s not just mad, heā€™s hurt, and eggsyā€™s furious but heā€™s also maybe regretting his actions.
itā€™s these two men who are rapidly trying to figure out their headspaces and trying to figure out how to navigate this situation with each other
and the way eggsy tries to apologize ;-;
kentucky is a beautiful state, actually
ohhhhhh yā€™alllll
weā€™re at the churrrccchhhh
weā€™re gettinā€™ closer to the coolest part of the movieeeee
itā€™s telling that gazelle was trying to make sure that theyā€™d be safe
ā€œā€¦ so hail satan, and have a lovely afternoon madame.ā€
the most metal lines colin firth has ever uttered on camera
the siren noise after itā€™s switched on bothers me in a way i canā€™t quite articulate
it might be because i have silent hill-colored trauma, who knows
FREEEEEE
BIIIRRRDDDDDDD
THE GREATEST ACTION TRACKING SHOT IN THE HISTORY OF CINEMA
but then eggsy and merlin are reacting aaaanndddd itā€™sā€”a lot less fun
because you realize that theyā€™re watching their bro mercilessly slaughter innocent people and not stopping
and still not stopping
and still not stopping
but plot twist, iā€™m really glad they kept the track going, because if theyā€™d suddenly picked *this* part of the scene to get serious, that wouldā€™ve brought the mood down so low that i donā€™t think there wouldā€™ve been any bouncing back
i just
how do people exist who arenā€™t attracted to harry hart
that man is a machine
and colin worked so hard to be able to do the scene himself, and that work SHOWS, that man cuts a FIGURE
i donā€™t know how they managed to somber it up just the right amount, either? maybe because they waited for the ā€œfun action sequenceā€ to be over so there wouldnā€™t need to be noise that had to be masked by a fun rock track?
ā€œā€¦ what did you do to me.ā€
i cannot imagine what harry was feeling in that moment.
the way he spoke it was like he didnā€™t even have time to be afraid to die
ā€œthat tends to happen when you shoot somebody in the head. feels good, right?ā€
ā€œno, it does not feel good!ā€
i love that exchange because we normally hear the opposite.
alsoā€”whiplash.
mark has this way of expressing grief without showing anyā€”blatant signs.
like merlinā€™s not especially tearful, or crying, but his eyes look MASSIVE. and SAD. and he has just the tiiiiiniest tremor in his voice.
and eggsy, dude, like, weā€™ve all had it come on us really quick and suddenly itā€™s like your chest is pumping like a piston and when did it get so hard to breathe?
ARTHUR you REPULSE me
like look at how egssyā€™s shoulders sag when he realizes that arthur isnā€™t on his team
and in a way, this is eggsyā€™s final test as a kingsman trainee, imo
do you realize how quickly he had to assess what was happening and figure out what to do, all without arthur noticing?
ā€œyou are all alone. it is all up to you. remember all you have learned. good luck.ā€
itā€™s a veryā€”almost horror-esque situation from that pov
and he passed with flying colors to go on his first true mission, because after he puts on the suit, thatā€™s his visual cue of graduating, if that makes sense
thatā€™s the knight putting on his armor.
ā€œiā€™d rather be with harry. thanks.ā€
ā€œso be it.ā€
*click*
me: *laughing at arthurā€™s big dumb stupid head*
ā€¦ man iā€™d love a replica of that decanter and glasses set though
not to mention that eggsy recognized the flaws in arthurā€™s character and weaponized them, which is a whole other level of shit that isnā€™t necessarily easy; he knew that arthur carried the kind of pride that would leave him open
god, he looks so exhausted though when rox has him at gunpoint.
i think he was being pretty serious, about harry
sick helipaaaaaaad
that thing looks vaguely like a rock-ā€˜em sock-ā€˜em robot but in pieces though
more grandpa sweaters <3
man. you can see roxy swallow, you know sheā€™s scared, but then she just sets her jaw andā€”
roxy baby you are the best i love you
i like the vintage vibe of the mountain lair
i think thatā€™s another visual poke at the aesthetic themes of some of the older, og spy flicks out there
merlin looks SO LANKY walking back to the plane for some reason??
he stays until the last second for roxy. thatā€™s love right there.
ā€œa bespoke suit always fits.ā€
which can be good spiritual life advice too but thatā€™s a separate conversation
ā€œwhat the fuck is WRONG with you people?ā€
and his fuckinā€™ disco ball
uuggggghhhhh his speech reminds me of so manyā€¦ ā€œpublic figuresā€ that i dislike
even though itā€™s obviously a bad thing that the chips are everywhere, i appreciate that phones and such are being shown in a positive manner (like, michelle talking to someone in the park, people at a ball game taking selfies, people at the beach, etc.) because i get so sick of that anti-tech boomer humor tbh
and the big reveal of eggsy in his suitttt
A KNIGHT IS BORN
ā€œhowā€™s the view?ā€
ā€œhideous.ā€
youā€™re allowed to be crabby baby, you just let it out.
ā€œlookinā€™ good, eggsy.ā€
ā€œfeelinā€™ good, merlin.ā€
merlin is so calm heading into the fortress and i donā€™t know if itā€™s because heā€™s very, very good at compartmentalizing and thatā€™s genuinely how he is at the moment or if heā€™s that way through extreme self-control and effort
he can rock a pilotā€™s uniform though
just like eggsy can rock a suit
theyā€™re both so handsome, help
i also wonder how eggsyā€™s feeling right then
like, iā€™d imagine that the pressure of having to perform a role to literally save the world would be enough to distract him from the bite of grief
thatā€™sā€”probably enough to distract everyone, tbh
i a hundred percent believe there are breakdowns we donā€™t see
i wonder if eggsy told tilde heā€™d spoken to lindstrum(sp?) after everything was said and done
like, thatā€™d be some kind of weird foreshadowing in hindsight
this scene is anxiety-inducing in a big way so to distract myself i imagine roxy as a mech pilot
dude iā€™d totally watch sophie in a role like that, like, let her be in a movie like pacific rim, sheā€™d kick ass
and now we have The Chaos
otherwise known as that point when Everything Is Happening All At Once All The Time
also a thing that doesnā€™t exist in spy movies: hearing damage
because like his voice is right in eggsyā€™s ear and without it heā€™d have a LOT harder time surviving
imagine being an agent, merlin trying to talk to you, but something either hits your ear or goes off right next to it and suddenly itā€™s just silent
SYSTEM FAILURE
YAAASSSSS
WE WIN
GGOOOAAAAALLLLLL
THE AUDIENCE IS DOING THE WAVE
except JUST KIDDING
The Chaos 2 Electric Boogaloo!
merlin with a huge gun: hot, also, very scary
eggsy is just 10000% done
ā€œthis is mine. iā€™ll show you yours.ā€
i wonder who e man was supposed to be that valentine called.
like is that a reference to a real person that i just didā€™t catch?
ā€¦ elon musk? maybe? idk
eggsy slides like a gd anime character
when he uses the rainmaker, itā€™s just like harryā€™s protecting him from somewhere else
(ohā€”wait, technically kentucky, i guess)
ā€œmerlin, iā€™m fucked.ā€ you can hear the anger there. not only did he fail, but heā€”and everyone elseā€”is about to die
but this? this is the pinnacle of eggsy showing himself as a kingman agent
he was staring death straight in the mouth and STILL
SOMEHOW
REMEMBERED THE IMPLANTS
so i guess if i say that the moment when he puts on the suit is when he becomes a true agent, then maybe this is the moment when he becomes galahad.
*bobs head to pomp & circumstance*
i remember getting a huge kick out of how colorful they made this
because in real life you know a bunch of people literally blowing up would be likeā€”DISGUSTING
viscera everywhere
no fun rainbow mushroom clouds
ā€œiā€™ve always wanted to kiss a princess.ā€
ANOTHER knight reference, very clever matthew
mmmmm Do Not Like that noise
aaaannndddd *that* line
whichā€”maybe thatā€™s mr. vaughnā€™s sense of humor, or what he thinks the sense of humor his core demographic has, idk
but it always kinda rubbed me the wrong way
the mass brawl scenes are edited so like--jarringly compared to the other fight scenes in the movie
thatā€™s probably for a reason
also, a showdown to the tune of something disco: kind of another trope homage
this shot of gazelle is so sick, i love everything about it, she is so cool
this entire fight with eggsy is awesome tbh
we got a little bit of what gazelle can look like in combat earlier with tildeā€™s guards, but now we get this epic showdown seeing her at her full potential against someone whoā€™s actually a challenge
and the way valentine is shouting for her to kick his ass from upstairs and yelling encouragement lmao thatā€™s how real friends act when thereā€™s a fight
daisy ;-; ugh, thatā€™s the visual gutpunch that makes it juuuuuust serious enough by reminding us of the stakes
which is why itā€™s fitting that then we see the Slo-Mo K.O.
and that smile with the fun little chimes in the back, lmao
and eggsy, quick on his feet again byyyy being quick on gazelleā€™s feetā€”footā€”whatever
man, impalement deaths are always fun.
coulda done without the vomiting but thatā€™s also one of valentineā€™s quirks that makes him different from a cookie cutter villain
aaannddd have a heavy sigh from merlin
that dude needs a full-body massage and a drink
ā€œis this where you say some really bad pun?ā€
reminder: i love that this movie is self-aware! i could not picture a super serious kingsman movie! i just picture something depressing!
there had to have been a better option besidesā€”this, for this eggsy/tilde ending scene
iā€™m not saying iā€™m mad it ended with them fucking, iā€™m mad that the extent of the joke was anal and that was it.
also the idea of my boss possibly seeing me having sex would have me a little more concerned about the hardware on my face, but okay??
aannddd the tapes.
gah, we love visual throwbacks!
we love being able to see that despite all this growth and change, family remains very important to eggsyā€”he hasnā€™t changed into a different person, he has grown more into himself than ever before! THIS! THIS is eggsy unwin!
ā€¦ GET READY FOR IT
time for tgc! (and to get into my roanoke feels, maybe, this is the nexus where our canons connect)
the BAGPIPES
okay
i did not stop to consider how unpleasant this was going to be to watch stoned but weā€™re gonna power through it and get through it together
if i cry i cry
the way the music swells into the main theme <3
and the perfect reveal for our boy eggsy!
reflected in gold, looking sharper than broken glass
and SUDDENLY CHARLIE
the pacing in tgc leads me to believe that matthew had huge plans for this movie, and a lot of cool stuff probably ended up on the cutting room floor for time
i also love that they brought charlie back
i love his voice box and his cool robot arm
and iā€™m not just saying that because it made it super easy to blend him into our canon, either, this is likeā€”charlieā€™s evil twin in terms of his new aesthetic, the contrast is really cool
YYAASSSS THIS SCENE
WITH PRINCE PLAYING??
*CHEFā€™S KISS*
like we are IMMEDIATELY thrown back into the gold parts of it all, like how physics is a little broken so we can do cool shit like have a knockdown drag-out fight all within the space of a small cab
i wonder what wouldā€™ve hurt charlie worseā€”being thrown onto his organic side, or having all his weight land on his metal arm if it hadnā€™t disattached
but then heā€™s up and standing so i guess weā€™re fine?
MERLIN! <3
otherwise known as the character entrance that literally changed my life
i try not to think about it too much or i get weirded out
ANYWAY
(and to think i almost never even saw the movie)
Sick Car Chase, Bro
and as an american, like, everythingā€™s on the opposite side to me, itā€™s stressful to watch a little bit
ā€œi seem to remember in your training you were rather good at holding your breath.ā€
man, thatā€™s uhā€”kind of a macabre thing to say, merlin
just a little bit
iā€™m not even gonna attempt to hold my breath to see if iā€™d survive this scene just assume iā€™m dead in that universe
we all live in a kingsman subarmine, a kingsman submarine, a kingsman submarine~~
ā€œnot boasting, but i trained him well enough that even he wouldn't mess that up.ā€
merlin are you okay??
gah, i love that chest-deep laugh though.
is it real love if they wonā€™t crawl through the sewer to get to your house in time
i love that harryā€™s house looks basically the same
i know they talk about eggsy not wanting to change anything in the novelization but i havenā€™t read it yet so Iā€™m not a hundred percent sure what all is in there
and we still get to see him hanging with his friends, and his girlfriend, like, this dude is still all about the family
ā€œwwwwOOOOO!ā€
i love this group so much omg
for as much as heā€™s galahad, heā€™s still eggsy
the transition in the weed bag looks super cool
ā€¦ oh, i guess watching this while high makes the main storyline hit a bit different
welp
i love that poppy is an aesthetic slut and really doesnā€™t give a shit about anyoneā€™s opinion about how she makes her space
like, ā€œi want a big 50s-style diner with a gourmet kitchen that i can cook people in, soooooo iā€™m getting oneā€
itā€™s also refreshing to see julianne moore in a bad guy role!
not that iā€™m super familiar with her filmography but i feel like iā€™ve mostly seen her cast as like a good guy?
i could be wrong
awwwww jet and bennie!
thereā€™s so much to love about this set
cannibalism and the fact that she bulldozed jungle to build all this aside (suspend that belief!)
the breakfast sceeeeeene
itā€™s so bittersweet, for obvious reasons
and itā€™s more evidence that heā€™s not super ready to move on into new territory yet, like making new memories with tilde that ring close to home
ā€œi wish i could have met him.ā€
and the way he has to turn away, ugh.
eggsy. iā€™m sorry.
tilde, iā€™m sorry, too. you had good intentions, but they lost against his pain.
michael gambdon! the new arthur we didnā€™t know we wanted until we got him.
charlie had a moral glo-down, itā€™s fine, happens to everybody
FFFFFF his imitation of merlin lmfao
man, poor charlie, like
you wake up, you canā€™t make a sound, your arm has been blown off and your familyā€™s dead
like his reaction to that entire scenario isnā€™t entirely unrealistic, iā€™m just saying
also LOOK AT ROX
omg everyone in this movie can wear the FUCK out of suit, yā€™all
man, iā€™ve gotten a few tattoos that were exquisitely painfulā€”i canā€™t imagine how much it would suck to do it with literal molten metal
dude this means clara laid on her stomach and probably screamed at the floor as she got hers D:
this kindaā€”riffs off of hannibal, a teeny-tiny bit
like weā€™re so overloaded with the aesthetics and behavior of a certain character so itā€™s like, we forget about the much darker parts untillllll thereā€™s a mood change and weā€™re looking at that dudeā€™s legs, to the burger this other dude puts in his mouth, and thinking ā€œoh, oh dear, ewā€
i love eggsy in the orange jacket <3 snaps for the wardrobe crew across this series.
tildeā€™s face, omg, she was heart-eyeing so bad. and like, that little proud nod at her dad (who was of course being Like That on purpose)
and roxy, coming in in the clutch, you are tonightā€™s MVP
uggghhhhh i hate this part
because again, itā€™s just--a bunch of bad shit colliding outside of anyoneā€™s control
(it was also really jarring seeing the war room with blank walls the first time i watched this)
likeā€”granted, you should maybe not touch stuff thatā€™s not yours, butā€¦
like we *just* saw eggsy and brandon in a very casual, intimate scene with each other, how can anyone get angry with brandon?
this is all stress-inducing
i remember being in the theater watching this and feeling like i was watching some awful slow motion car wreck and i couldnā€™t look away
idk what other story i wouldā€™ve wanted to see but i was NOT a fan of Sudden Death For Christmas, especially concerning roxy!
and poppy is such a *bright* villain, not just because of taste but because of her personality, which is another weird thing to have next to the cannibalism
gaaahhhh charlieeee your arm is so cooooool
this shot is gorgeous and incredibly depressing.
what do you do?
gah, and the way merlin comes out of the dark, like
i probably wouldā€™ve drawn a gun on him too
ā€œyou think *i* would?ā€
this scene shows 1. how much he trusts eggsy to not shoot him, and/or 2. how good merlin is at compartmentalizing, because this is an even bigger blow than harryā€™s death, and heā€™s following the protocol like itā€™s an art form
i hope that we see some reference to this safe in the next movie, thatā€™d be a cool way to tie the narratives all together
ā€œi suppose that must be upper class humor. ā€¦ i donā€™t get it.ā€
reminder, merlin is working class.
if youā€™re a ho for this fandom and went and bought this whiskey specifically because of this movie clap your hands *clap clap*
and they proceed to just get HAMMERED
ā€œcountry rooaaddsssā€¦ take me hoooooomeā€¦ā€
another reminder: kentucky is a beautiful state!
i would love to tour a whiskey distillery, thatā€™d be super cool
ā€œshame itā€™s not scotchā€
again, with his weird night vale clipboard.
who would win: two highly-trained kingsman agents vs. one (1) cowboy
channing tatum, ladies and gentlemen!
ā€œyā€™all look damn sharp!ā€
i am forever gonna be mad we didnā€™t get more of tequila in this movie, and not just because of roanoke either, but like, ā€œthat dog donā€™t hunt,ā€ whatever he has in his mouth sealed a leak in a barrel, and it took him all of two minutes to incapacitate both eggsy AND merlin? hello??
iā€™m glad weā€™ll get to see more of him in the another movie.
ā€œyou know why the measurement of alcohol is called proof?ā€
just dumping it on their laps, so disrespectful
ā€œā€”and you can go fuck yourself.ā€
eggsy fucking just giggling.
these two doofuses
also itā€™s hot to see merlin be sassy ngl
ā€œHARRY!ā€
these guys have been fast thinkers in stressful situations but as it turns out, people being unexpectedly not dead can kinda fuck with your day
aaannddd halle berry, everybody! i love ginger ale omg
(and so does merlin, he is instantly enchanted)
;-; this reunion scene
i donā€™t know how colin manages to be two completely different people at once
like thereā€™s a huge difference between former agent galahad and harry hart the lepidopterist and i canā€™t explain it
i really, really hope we see at least one little hint at kinsmanā€™s relationship with statesman in the new movie, i just think itā€™d be really cool
in roanoke canon, thereā€™s an office rumor that the nanobot tech used by statesman was influenced directly by the same technology developed by dr. wernicke in the outlast games. i still think itā€™s one of my better crossover ideas.
also
god bless whoever decided to get elton john involved with all this?? because i was DELIGHTED
i love poppyā€™s wardrobe as much as i love her weird 50s-land in the jungle
i also really love the main statesman theme? it reminds me of all those fun epic westerns
jeff bridges! :D
champ vaguely reminds me of my dad
ā€œcan you imagine us in the tailor business?ā€
and heā€™s super quick with the questions. my headcanons for champ are all over the place but one that i really like is that he was maybe a sheriff or in law enforcement before being recruited by statesman.
aaanndddd pedro pascal, everybody!
otherwise known as *another* character that this movie did dirty, thatā€™ll probably come up in this later
imagine being harry hart, not remember all of yourself, and suddenly your entire room justā€”fills with water
that had to have been so terrifying, and it was just as hard for merlin to watch (and possibly remember something unpleasant)
and like
that sounds like SUCH bullshit, too, like ā€œyeah we thought if you came close to drowning it would helpā€
which, is that what merlin meant, no, but is that what harry heard, probably
enter jb the second ;-; <3 sweet baby
tildeā€™s trying so hard. i see you!
aha, penis jokes.
and all of the unnecessary weird festival stuff, uuggghh
there are so many different things they could have done, like, all of this is just weird from the get-go
first of all, whiskey striking out? hello?? saying no to a man like mr. pascal???
not realistic
the way whiskey takes a shot as he walks away lmao, relatable
and poor clara, like, itā€™s not like she was asking for any of this D:
hmmmmmmm donā€™t know how i feel being a stoner watching other stoners get this blue rash thing when i know it kills some of themmmmmmm
i love charlie in his newsboys cap!
poppy has a little bit of a point. like, booze is way more dangerous than pot, as is tobacco. like i would never advocate anyone try meth or heroin, but i think weed and some hallucinogenics get bad wraps.
seeing a dude get torn in half in the reflection of elton johnā€™s sunglasses is the surprising bit of gore we need to remember that oh, yeah, the villain isnā€™t fun, sheā€™s a murderer
uuggghhhh the TENT SCENE
and, look, iā€™ll defend tilde forever, but i did NOT like the weird marriage ultimatum. i still think itā€™s a dick move, like, in that situation either decide to trust your boyfriend or break up with him
the tent interior is super cool-looking
and like, man, he tried, he tried to bounce D:
/sigh/ work hazards, i guess
mmmmmm we donā€™t need any of whatā€™s happening on screen right now so iā€™ll just sit patiently and wait for it to be over
and like, thereā€™s nothing funny about merlin and ginger being able to hear everything thatā€™s going on, itā€™s so grosssss, poor ginger has to have heard some shit before to be so nonchalant about it
everything about this sucks
and then he tries going to the one person who he needs the most and having to deal with him still existing in some state between alive and dead
his body is here
but harry is not
ā€œmaggots turn into flies, perhaps you mean larvae!ā€ :D he is SO CUTE
but this entire conversation, with harry still not remembering and eggsy trying so hard to reach him through the fog, is so depressing
like, iā€™d need a drink too
*and* a joint
iā€™m seeing my coping mechanisms on screen here folks
the way he comes up with the idea is kinda ingenious though
like, heā€™s looking at stuff to make himself bummed on purpose, but therein he finds the thing he needs to fix the issue
harryā€™s smile when eggsy hands him the puppy TT.TT
and then eggsy just becomes a stone cold motherfucker with no emotions
ā€œno oneā€™s sick enough to shoot a puppy!ā€
hi, flashback!harry
and as SOON as he remembers himself, itā€™s like his eyes are different, something about him looks like it did before kentucky
ā€œā€¦ eggsy.ā€
one of my favorite movie hugs
and eggsy has to stand on his tiptoes because harryā€™s so tall
like yeah merlin and harryā€™s reunion isnā€™t as overtly emotional, but thereā€™s definitely a sense of joy and relief there.
harry my baby ;-; much better with the sunglasses (and merlin was so close to telling him he looked spectacular)
ā€œnow is that any way to welcome a visit from outta town, moonshine?ā€
he! tried! to! defend! harry!
i hate that jack got a villain story line!
we couldā€™ve had something so much better and infinitely more compelling!
ā€œhurrrr durrrr morgan you just like redemption arcs because you donā€™t want anybody being a villain permanentlyā€ i also like them because sometimes thatā€™s better writing, yā€™all sit down
ā€œthat is NOT what i call a kentucky welcome.ā€
i love so many things happening in this scene, like
we get to see whiskey kick ass, like yassss gimme those sweet action sequences and give us some character development by showcasing his fighting style
and also NOBODY shits on harry for not being able to handle the situation. both eggsy and merlin were like ā€œdude weā€™re still celebrating the fact that youā€™re alive tbh itā€™s fine if youā€™re not back up to speed right this secondā€
you can really tell that this was penned by british people writing american slang because having grown up in the southern half of the u.s. i have never ONCE heard ANYONE say shit like ā€œi feel like a tornado in a trailer parkā€ lmao
and poppyā€™s fun little death threat infomercial, so great
ā€œwhat have you done to me you FUCKING BITCHā€ oof, thatā€™s a mood
!!!!! gonna be honest i kinda forgot that bruce greenwood plays the president
okay but save lives, legalize isnā€™t an entirely bad idea tbh
hnnnnnnng the scenes about people not being able to get into the hospital hits different in the year of our lord 2020 huh
ā€¦ yā€™all iā€™m being weirded out by all this hospital scenes, this is unpleasant
i, too, wish i could pull a tequila and just be slipped into a chilly coma until shit wasnā€™t so fucked up
ā€œthe fact is, this presidency has won the war on drugs!ā€
THIS SCENE!
look, yā€™all can come into my inbox and call me a pothead, or a lazy stoner, or some third insult, but this dudeā€™s VP is bringing up some very, VERY important points when it comes to any kind of discussion about drug use in the u.s.
am i drug-friendly, sure, but iā€™m more friendly to the notion that we stop demonizing addicts/users
harry looks fucking SCANDALIZED when he sees champ spit into his spittoon thing
i donā€™t think whiskey even brought up harry not being ready to return to the field in an insulting manner, he literally just saw him get his ass beat in a bar, but eggsyā€™s faith and loyalty are up there in the category of unstoppable force/immovable object, so here we are
am i the only one curious about the whole charlie x clara thing? because heā€™s definitely grown up a bit by tgc, and i wanna know how much of that might be because of clara
and he MISSES, e for effort harry
ā€œso sorry about thisā€”ā€œ WHAM
and now that guy can say colin firth busted his face with a fire extinguisher, which is very cool
ā€œ*youā€™re* wu ting feng?ā€ ā€œā€¦ yes?ā€
ā€œyou motherFUCKERā€ ohhhhhh charlie maaaaaad
ginger and merlin though, #couplegoals
the only person more pissed off about the hallucinations than everyone else is harry
imagine remembering that youā€™re one of the top people in your field and you just keep seeing imaginary butterflies everywhere
like, yeah, iā€™d be pissed at not being able to do what i knew i was capable of, too
if it wasnā€™t careening towards a random retirement center, getting stuck in a wildly rotating gondola thing could be fun
nice tuesday afternoon activity
i would loved to have seen more galahad/whiskey field stuff
ā€œyouā€™ve got to be fucking kidding meā€”ā€œ
meanwhile, in the continuing adventures of eggsy and jack: shit goes from bad to worse like a formal spiral only going downward
their expressions as their both just SCREAMING always make me laugh
ā€thatā€™s the first decent shit iā€™ve had in three weeks.ā€ <- as does that line, that old dudeā€™s just telling it like it is
eggsyā€™s comment about the antidote just reminds me of when boromir looks a the ring and says something like ā€œall this for such a tiny thingā€
dun dun DUN what are THOSE? hints that whiskey may not be who we think he is??
great. so excited about that. i say, rolling my eyes into the sun
ā€œiā€™ll fix their wagons.ā€ no one says that matthew!
i. love. this. scene. because now we get cool gun tricks AND the second most metal thing that happens with a lasso in this movie (weā€™re coming up on the most metal thing)
like please please PLEASE show us more lasso tricks in the statesman movie
ā€œwell thank fuckinā€™ christ i didnā€™t need any backup.ā€ i wonder if whiskeyā€™s acting angrier than he actually is to throw off the fact that he mightā€™ve caught harryā€™s glance at him betraying suspicion
RIP jack
imagine the timeline where whiskey was never a bad guy and harry hart just blew a dude away for NO REASON
now THAT would be an interesting movie
because harry and eggsy, for all they went through in the first film, never had a conflict where it was harry in the position of mangling the ropes up
but of course eggsy would never, never tell merlin what happened because heā€™s still ultimately on harryā€™s team
damn, charlie, literally blowing up your girlfriend seems kinda extreme
ā€œTHIS is vital!ā€
and here we get to see the biggest difference between merlin and ginger
now, i know thereā€™s extra stuff in the novelization about their relationship and i canā€™t talk about it because i have no idea whatā€™s in the book
but!
i DO still headcanon as merlin quitting fieldwork after leeā€™s death
his comment is either what he genuinely believes, or maybe what he fashioned his beliefs into after stepping down from his field role, and ginger is just as sincere in her desire to break into that aspect of working for statesman
itā€™s like seeing the same character but in two points in time, and itā€™s really cool
that balance wouldā€™ve also been a fun aspect of their romantic relationship to explore but alas! ā€™twas not to be
colin and mark could both play slenderman
look at those limbs.
gracious.
also this facetime scene with eggsy and tilde T.T
that has to be so terrifying to watch when you know the steps of death and what they look like as they get closer
but it also puts a fire under eggsy though
ā€œiā€™m leaving with, or without you.ā€
and of course theyā€™re both gonna go because thatā€™s NOT characteristic eggsy behavior based off of how we know he views family/squad
thatā€™s how they know heā€™s being for cereal
uugggggGGHHHH and THAT FORESHADOING
stacey pruitt, attorney at lawwwww
hmmmmmmmmm
what does this conversation between poppy and the president remind me of
gonna just sigh into the void
and now we have harry and eggsy on the jet along with the BIGGEST LIE harry hart has ever told in his LIFE
kingsman and statesman aesthetics at least tend to be the same color schemes. lotta golds, yellows. browns.
eggsy, yeah, itā€™s a bummer your gf dumped you, but this relationship wasnā€™t very well-developed or written so iā€™m not as bummed as i could be
ā€œā€¦ and in that moment, all i felt was loneliness and regret.ā€
harry shut the FUCK UP
you felt NOTHING??
you werenā€™t thinking of, gee, i dunno, EGGSY? or MERLIN?? your MOM???
like these lines from him just seem to come out of left field and i canā€™t even halfway suspend my belief long enough to come close to believing him
like mr. hart you just gonna be like that in front of jesus and everybody????
so, yeah, of course heā€™s on board with saving tilde! because he recognizes (apparently just right that second) that ā€œhaving something to lose is what makes life worth livingā€
and i donā€™t know if they felt like there need to be some weird, deeply contrasting reason for harry to swing around to being in support? or something?
like
iā€™m forever pissed about this characterization and i donā€™t even know if iā€™m expressing my anger in a way that makes it easy to understand lmao this is fine, iā€™m fine, literally not a single person in this fandom ever believed those lines anyway, itā€™s fine
moving on
... and even if they WERE true then honestly that just makes me more excited about butterfly knife, because that means that harry acknowledged both the bad side of the coin, and also the side with rae on it (which would mean seeing her for who she was and also recognizing his feelings for what THEY were) and drew the ultimately correct conclucision that love! is! always! worth! it! let that shit in like a welcome guest in the home of your heart, and they will stay as long as you let them!
as SOON as he wakes up ginger looks a thousand percent done lmao
and the ā€œprocessā€ that they use to wake people up or whatever isā€”interesting
because all it is, is trauma turned into a tool which is kind of a weird concept to see in a ā€œfun spy movieā€ imo
and this is one of what i feel were like only what, two? glimpses we get into whiskeyā€™s Tragic Backstory
and the other scene isnā€™t a glimpse itā€™s just straight up exposition in his dialogue :/
jack, iā€™m sorry, you deserved better than this as a character
iā€™m sure the name ā€œsilver ponyā€ is a reference to something but i donā€™t know what
ā€œlookinā€™ GOOD merlin!ā€ ā€œfeelinā€™ good, eggsy.ā€
ladies and gentlemen when i tell you that i lost my pool-noodle mind seeing him put on that suit watching this in a theater, i--
ANYWAY
because now that i have the horrible burden of having seen these movies a million times
i know itā€™s more symbolic
he stays in sweaters so long, as an agent of the background, because he walked a man to his death
so it figures when he puts the armor back on for the first time in ages
he walks to his own
uuuggghhhh the minesweeper
i hate this
i hate it
i hate everything about the feelings iā€™m having while this is happening
*beep-beep*
ā€œyou move, we die.ā€
i HATE IT
but like, i donā€™t know, how preferable is this to the end scene we almost got, which was merlin dragging his newly-legless corpse through a doggy door?
because itā€™s been literally multiple years and i still have no fucking idea
theyā€™re both horrible in their own terrible, awful ways
damn, matthew, itā€™s not often someone manages to come up with multiple versions of a thing and have every version be so gut-wrenchingly horrific, iā€™m truly impressed and completely disgusted
ā€œdo as your told!ā€
god
everyone just going through twenty shades of Bad Feelings in the space of fifteen seconds here in the jungle
and colin and taron do this thing where itā€™s likeā€”their eyes go dead? like, there was a light here, itā€™s gone now
it SUCKS
oh
oh no
ALMOST HEAVEN
WEST VIRGINIA
ā€¦ fuck
LIFE IS OLD THERE
OLDER THAN THE TREES
ā€œā€¦ singing?ā€
this sucks.
this sucks this sucks this sucks
MOUNTAIN MAMAAAAA
TAKE ME HOOOOME
COUNTRY ROOOADDSSSSS
*THUNK*
and he even took off his glasses before he hit him, he had his end coming towards him and he was still a gentleman
TAKE ME HOOOME
COUNTRY RROOOOAAAADDDSSSSS
his EYES AT THE END
FUCK
ā€¦ okay i had to get up and go for a lilā€™ walk
anyway
(and again, roanoke canon, fucking fixingā€™ shit left and right, because weā€™re the goat)
harry and eggsy look MURDEREROUS
MERLIN SAID KNOCK YOU OUT
it DID make the grand ending fun action scene a lot more satisfying
because like, without merlin there, that means harry and eggsy get to go full feral
poppy you big idiot you just robbed them of all their motivation to show any kind of restraint and now everybodyā€™s gonna get blown up
except for those dudes who get kicked by elton john
which would be an HONOR first of all
(the part where eggsyā€™s using his gun and shield vaguely reminds me of the specialist, @bloodofthepenā€‹)
and harry and eggsy justā€”theyā€™re drift compatible! thatā€™s it! the teamwork! the grace! the flow! my god!
eggsy vs. charlie: round like 4 if you count the first movie
it was also satisfying to see charlieā€™s new arm in action
we love fun robotics and gadgetry in this house
colin firth is really just not afraid to throw himself full force down a bowling lane huh
ugh, seeing charlie slam eggsy over and over again makes my chest hurt
the sound mixing on all these films is top notch which isnā€™t always a good thing T.T
ROCKETMAN~~~
that shit will never NOT be funny
a wild elton john appeared!
eggsy is indestructible, he can walk off anything
but charlie, charlie i feel really sorry for, imagine being attacked by a superior version of your own limb, i.e. something that you canā€™t exactly quickly remove from yourself, that would be TERRIFYING
harry + elton = dream teaaaammmm
ā€œdarling if you save the world, you can have a backstage pass.ā€
i love you elton john :(
i would have been the most OBNOXIOUS hype man in the background of the entire kingsman vs. poppy land face-off
ā€œletā€™s make this fair.ā€ eggsy youā€™re fuckinā€™ cheeky
and poor harry, all that lank just getting tossed like noodles
i thought the robot puppers were very cool
ā€œfor the record charlie iā€™m more of a gentleman than youā€™ll ever be.ā€
mmmmmm do NOT like this death for charlie
SUPER glad we fixed it
and another scene where i canā€™t stand the sound mixing T.T it makes me cringe every time
ā€œi donā€™t consider genocide especially lady-like.ā€
and are we gonna talk about how merlin knew how to make heroin?
ā€¦ no?
nobody wanna talk about that?
ugh that houndstooth dress is so PRETTY though
high!poppy is weirdly comedic for all of two seconds and then it stops being funny real fast
whiskey D:<
this is so dumb
this is all so, so dumb
ā€œour agencies were founded to uphold peace, to protect the innocentā€”ā€œ
thereā€™s that nobility again
is what happened to whiskey fucked up, yes
iā€™m not saying we have to completely remove that from his story
i just
literally anything but this would have been preferable
and then HOT DOG itā€™s one of my favorite shots in the movie with the whip where harryā€™s just chucking it away from his face like a bamf, YES
how great is this cover, letā€™s be honest
like, iā€™d be lying if i said i didnā€™t enjoy this scene visually
plus
HARRY GETTING PEGGED RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH A FRYING PAN
gracious
itā€™s one fluid tracking shot, so kinda in alignmentment with what weā€™re used to
some people get annoyed with repeated junk but when you can do it THIS WELL you can get away with anything
D:
but then jack
you did NOT desert that
yes, you were in dire need of an attitude adjustment but jesus
ā€œthis is for you, merlin.ā€
/ugly sobbing/
and tilde is all betterrrrrr ;-;
you guys did itttttt
COUNTRY ROOOAAADDSS
TAKE ME HOOOOOOMMEEEE
TO THE PLAAAAAACCCEEEEE
I BELOOOOONNGGGG
and the scene with jamal and liam T.T #wholesomecontent
poor tequila, after i knew that you would have a bigger role in another movie, i was less annoyed by the fact that they iced you so quick into the story
#FOX2020
ā€œā€¦ now weā€™re brothers, working side by side.ā€
spoiler alert i actually love champā€™s toast
ā€œyā€™all shittinā€™ in high cotton nowā€ WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???
and ginger becomes the new whiskey like she always wanted T.T
merlin is proud from heaven (or london, depending on which canon)
iiiiiii have mixed feelings about the whole wedding scene, which is probably because i take HUGE issue with the weird proposal ultimatum thing that happened earlier
but the way eggsy says ā€œnot a doubt in my mind,ā€ he says it so seriously and i remember that tilde almost died
there was such good intention packed into this couple that was so badly written that i just
augh
ā€œbut it is perhaps the end of the beginning.ā€
thereā€™s ***merlin! lmao i see you dude, they did you dirty
look
i was pissed off about a lot of things that happened in this thing but i was honestly hype seeing tequila at the very end walking into the tailor shop
like, yeah, iā€™ll stick around to see what happens in this universe but iā€™m gonna complain the whole time
GO JACK RABBIT
RUNNING THROUGH THE WOODS
and again, i almost didnā€™t see this movie.
ā€¦ i think about that morgan sometimes.
hope sheā€™s doinā€™ okay.
ā€¦
sheā€™s probably not. D:

My ridiculous and over the top text to Misha:
The conversations around voting are so unnecessarily difficult this year. There are too many people who don't even care, so they'll just vote for whoever. Their ideals really lean towards white supremacy. I'm white, but I think white supremacy is absolute fucking garbage. We as white people have privileges despite the hardships we may have gone through/are going through. We're shown white is normal, that it's beautiful, that it's the ideal. Having more people of color in TV and movies would remedy this a bit. (As an aside, I love Billie from SPN.)
The white supremacists think their way of life is threatened just because black people are demanding that they stop getting killed. Someone I know constantly says the world is going to flip, and white people will be used, and beaten, and killed. What a bullshit way of thinking. It's not even close to true. As you know, equality doesn't mean the system will be unbalanced. But a large group of people think they're being threatened. They want their rights to wear MAGA hats, they want their rights to own guns in case a black person tries to get in the house, they want their rights to practice Christianity and preach and preach and preach about loving everyone and God loving everyone. And then they leave church, and it's okay to "agree to disagree." It's, "You know, a lot of black deaths are from other black people." It's, "Soon we won't be able to go out and safely practice our religion."
And this means nothing against Christianity. Believe me, Misha, I was a devout Catholic for years until I realized people spoke of love, and then the church would fight against equality. At one point before entering church, the priest made us fucking write down anyone who was gay. My bro and I had to lie, of course, and not do it. But what the fuck is that about?? What the fuck???
Okay, I went off on a tangent. My bad. But yeah, white supremacists, or people who are Trump-leaning, or boomers, even, think their way of life will change. And hopefully they're right. It SHOULD change. But it won't do it the way they think. They won't be the people who were stolen from their country, the people who were slaves, the people who were tortured and killed, the people who were kept separate from society, the people who are spat on and crushed by the system. Fuck white supremacy. FUCK IT. And sorry for basically giving you a book to read, but I had to get that off my chest. And you're someone I'm sure would understand. So glad you're working to get people to vote, and to do it responsibly.
You're pretty cool for all this. And we're doing this without being "white saviors." We're just trying to give the unheard a chance to finally, FINALLY, be heard by society, and LISTENED TO, and UNDERSTOOD. We do need to speak up for people who society deems unimportant to listen to. But you know what, Misha (I'm 100% sure you know this, no 2,000,000% sure)? Black people are loud. They are demanding to be heard. They are beautiful with their words and their actions and their lives. They state things so eloquently. They act. They sing. They are fighting to rise up as equals, and it's good to know we both stand with them. As a minority myself, it sickens me that other minorities have to suffer.
(Okay, this is a book series now. Sorry.)

TLC
A/N: I wrote this over the span of...forever. Sorry itā€™s taken me so long to get something to you guys. This goes with a slow burn request and a smut request sooo 18+ my darlings!!:)
Warnings: Smut and cussingĀ 
Tumblr media
Weddings.Ā 
Your distaste for them had grown since graduating college. With every friend that got pregnant or hitched, you pushed yourself further into a hole of self-loathing and doubt.Ā 
Unfortunately, this is one particular wedding that you had to be at. Your best friend stood at the alter with a small tear running down his face. You couldnā€™t help but scoff, he was marrying a woman after meeting her 8 months ago. Something about him knowing that they were soul mates or some other bullshit that you didnā€™t believe.Ā 
ā€œJesus christ. . .ā€ you muttered under your breath as the wedding march began playing. You put on a smile, standing up and turning back to look at the woman in a traditional white dress. Her hair was curled perfectly and cascaded down her back in a waterfall. She was perfect, it was no wonder that Bucky was so into her.Ā 
When she reached the front of the alter, Bucky sighed with content.Ā ā€œHi James.ā€ You heard her whisper.Ā 
God. . . nobody calls him James. Who the fuck does she think she is?
ā€œHi Jess.ā€ He responded, his smile just as wide as hers. The crowd laughed, Bucky leaning back and fanning his face as he looked over her in the dress. You rolled your eyes.Ā 
ā€œWe are gathered here today. . .ā€ and here was the part where your brain shut off. You looked anxiously at your hands, playing with the ring on your thumb while you felt the pit of your stomach drop.Ā 
He looked at her with so much. . . comfort. Like she was her home. You couldnā€™t help but think back to when at one point you hoped that he looked at you like that one day.Ā 
It was pathetic. Of course you were in love with your best friend, what kind of cliche are you? He wanted you to be one of her bridesmaids, he said he wanted you to be a part of the wedding but you had to politely decline. The hurt in his eyes made you nauseous, but you didnā€™t necessarily get along with Jess. Itā€™s not like you could fake it until you made it in this scenario.Ā 
Of course you didnā€™t start off the friendship with an attraction to him. It only started when he called you darlinā€™. Or when he stayed at your apartment one night while you showed him every one of your favorite video games from Mario Bros. all the way to The Last of Us.Ā 
His admiration for modern technology left a childlike wonder on his face for what was to come. His metal arm was the closest thing he had experienced toĀ ā€œsuper advancedā€ until he saw the graphics on the PS4. He would tell you stories about the 30s and 40s, and with every word you couldnā€™t help but fall a little more in love with him.Ā 
You wanted to tell him, but you kept putting it off and putting it off until eventually he found a girlfriend. As wrong as it was, you hoped every night that they wouldnā€™t last. That he was meant for you. Surprised was an understatement when he told you of their engagement.Ā ā€œShe proposed to me. . . how weird is that?ā€Ā 
ā€œAnd does anyone have an objections to this union?ā€ The priest spoke with a light chuckle laced in his words. You struggled to stop yourself from standing up, from yelling at her while Bucky watched, from running up there and throwing yourself on him, confessing your undying love for him. Life doesnā€™t work like that though.Ā 
ā€œOkay, James and Jessica. I now pronounce you husband and wife,ā€ the priest grinned,Ā ā€œyou may kiss the bride!ā€Ā 
You looked away, swallowing while meeting eyes with Steve. He gave you a small empathetic look while you shook your head. You could feel your eyes prick with tears but you didnā€™t want to give anything away.Ā 
The music played again and they walked down the isle hand in hand. Finally, you were able to walk away. You covered your shoulders and walked towards your car, opening the door and sitting in it.Ā 
You debated turning on your car and driving away. You debated never speaking to Bucky again, starting a new life and wishing him the best in life. You couldnā€™t throw away your friendship though.Ā 
A sigh left your lip while you wiped away the one tear that managed to slip out. Soon, you heard a knock on your window.Ā 
ā€œHey darlinā€™,ā€ Bucky stood on the other side of the slightly fogged glass, causing you to panic and wipe your face of any tears. You put on a smile and opened the car door,Ā ā€œHey Bucky! That was some ceremony, huh?ā€Ā 
ā€œYeah, yeah! It was gorgeous, better than I could have imagined.ā€Ā 
An awkward smile fell on your lips and you looked away with a cough.Ā ā€œHey, so as much as I would like to stay, Iā€™m not feeling very well so the celebration aspect is gonna have to be saved for another time.ā€ You attempted to grin but you couldnā€™t quite muster up the energy.Ā 
ā€œAwh,ā€ his face dropped,Ā ā€œbut how can I celebrate if I donā€™t have my best friend with me?ā€Ā 
ā€œYouā€™ll get there.ā€ You sent a wink his way, before you got into your car and started it, leaving Bucky there with an astonished look on his face as you pulled out of the church parking lot.Ā 
Five years had never gone by so quick.Ā 
ā€œAlright Mrs. Willems, weā€™ll have that ready for you by tomorrow. Thank you so much for your order!ā€ You talked happily into the phone, writing down a cake order and pinning it to the cork board in the back of your bakery.Ā 
After the wedding, you decided it was probably best for you to move on. As much as it hurt to end the friendship, it was better for the both of you. you couldnā€™t go on in pain.Ā 
It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears but finally you were able to open your dream bakery. Amazingly enough, the business was booming, and youā€™ve even taken up catering.Ā 
The New York Tribune named it the greatest bakery on the south side of NYC. Youā€™ve had a few Food Network shows feature you and the business started growing.Ā 
As the night closed off, you began counting the till and cleaning. You told the night crew to head home, theyā€™ve been working really hard and you wanted to reward them.Ā 
ā€œ130, 140, 150. . .ā€ It was in the middle of counting the till that you heard a small knock on the door. You looked up and moved the glasses on your nose away from your face, walking towards the lock.Ā 
ā€œHi, Iā€™m so sorry weā€™re clo-ā€ you looked up and met eyes with a tall, blue-eyed beauty who you hadnā€™t seen in quite a while.Ā 
ā€œBucky?ā€Ā 
ā€œHey. . . I saw your face in the newspaper.ā€Ā 
You swallowed your nausea, not knowing what to do.Ā ā€œI- uhm. . .ā€Ā 
He smiled, something you wished you could have woken up to every morning for the past five years,Ā ā€œI knew you would be able to do it someday.ā€Ā 
Your hands started to shake and before you could stop, you found yourself opening the door wider and making room for the super soldier to enter the small bakery. He inhaled through his nose, the smells of freshly baked cakes and breads filling his senses. He remembered you playing around with recipes all those years ago, and it wasnā€™t until he saw your face again that he realized just how much he had been missing you.Ā 
ā€œYeah,ā€ you exhaled,Ā ā€œit took a lot of work.ā€Ā 
His back was still turned to you as he spoke,Ā ā€œYeah, but you still did it.ā€Ā 
You studied the curve of his back, and how he had somehow become even more muscular than you remembered. His hair no longer rested above his shoulders, instead it was cut much like the 30s haircut you remember from the photographs. The ends curled at the top, your breath almost catching in your throat.Ā 
ā€œIs there anything I can help you with?ā€ You questioned, pushing your hair behind your ear while you stepped from foot to foot awkwardly.Ā 
ā€œYeah. . . I was wondering if you could make a cake from me.ā€Ā 
Your chest heaved,Ā ā€œWell usually Iā€™ll tell someone to come back during our operating hours, but Iā€™ll make an exception.ā€ You walked behind the counter and pulled out an order form, leaning forward and taking a pen out of your apron.Ā 
ā€œSo, whatā€™ll it be Mr. Barnes?ā€Ā 
ā€œA vanilla cake, decorated with blue and pink frosting,ā€ of course it was a gender reveal cake. You almost scoffed but you held in your annoyance for a moment, you had done plenty of gender reveal cakes before,Ā ā€œAh, Jess is pregnant! How exciting. Okay, and the filling? Will it be blue or pink?ā€Ā Ā 
ā€œWhat? No, no,ā€ Bucky leaned on the other side of the counter,Ā ā€œStrawberry filling, and across the top I want the words,Ā ā€˜Happy Divorce Day, Cheater!ā€™ Written in black.ā€
You looked up, your brows furrowed immediately,Ā ā€œYou two are getting a divorce?ā€Ā 
Bucky nodded, his bottom lip being drug in between his teeth,Ā ā€œShe, uh, she slept with her co-worker. Has been since before we even got married apparently,ā€ a chuckle left his mouth,Ā ā€œshe hates strawberry filling.ā€
ā€œOh my god. . . Iā€™m so sorry.ā€ You knew that bitch didnā€™t know what the fuck she had. Of course sheā€™d fuck it up with Bucky, and sheā€™s gonna hate herself for the rest of her life.
ā€œYou know, I always knew that something was off, but I was so blinded by infatuation that I ignored all the red flags.ā€ He spoke, almost as if this isnā€™t the first time in five years that you two had spoken. Like you never had left in the first place.Ā 
At this point you put the pen down, clasping your hands together in front of you and listening intently.Ā ā€œI donā€™t think I ever really loved her. I lost five years of my life on her.ā€Ā 
You nodded, mostly in agreement but you had hoped he took it as a note that you were listening. He paused, his eyes meeting yours for a split second. You loved him. You knew that for sure.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m sorry you had to go through that. I canā€™t imagine that.ā€Ā 
ā€œYeah, well you know. . . Life goes on.ā€ Bucky grinned,Ā ā€œIā€™m 100 years old and 5 years doesnā€™t seem that long at the moment.ā€Ā 
You smiled back, the first time you had smiled sincerely since he had arrived.Ā ā€œHow about you and I go back and make this cake right now.ā€ You suggested, motioning for him to hop over the counter and follow you to the back where the giant mixer sat, cleaned and untouched.Ā 
ā€œOkay, you grab the-ā€ a screech left your mouth as you felt arms around your waist,Ā ā€œBucky, wait!ā€Ā 
ā€œ(Y/N),ā€ he sat you down on top of the counter,Ā ā€œI didnā€™t come here for a cake. I came here to ask me something.ā€Ā 
You smiled,Ā ā€œand what would that be, Mr. Barnes?ā€Ā 
ā€œDid you like me back then? Ya know, more than a friend?ā€ Bucky said, his arms on either side of your thighs.Ā 
You laughed off your shocked cough,Ā ā€œBucky what are we, 12?ā€Ā 
ā€œAnswer the question, darlinā€™.ā€Ā 
You looked away from his eyes,Ā ā€œI loved you. More than anything else in the world.ā€Ā 
ā€œLoved?ā€ he questioned.Ā 
ā€œLove.ā€ You sighed in defeat, your cheeks turning red.Ā 
ā€œIā€™ve always loved you too. I was dumb and stupid for marrying her. I thought youā€™d never love me and I thought the only thing I could have possibly done was move on.ā€ Bucky lifted your chin up to meet his eyes and softly and slowly, pressed a kiss to your lips.Ā 
Your body froze, almost as if you couldnā€™t believe what was happening. Without thinking, your hands found themselves at his shoulders, your palms touching his prominent collar bones as your skin burned against his. With one quick motion, you pushed him away.Ā 
Bucky stepped back, shocked as if he didnā€™t expect that to happen. He wiped his mouth, the expression on his face made you nauseous with guilt. You knew it had to be done though.Ā 
Your blood burned in your veins, you could feel your ears heating up while you took a deep breath,Ā ā€œDid you really think that you could come here out of the blue and do that?ā€ you hopped off of the counter,Ā ā€œbecause in all honesty, that shit hurt more than it did help. You think I want to be your rebound girl?ā€
The shock from Buckyā€™s face was replaced with furrowed brows,Ā ā€œReboun- what the hell are you talking about? Youā€™re not a rebound?ā€Ā 
ā€œYou came here after filing for divorce! What do you want? Do you want sex? Because Iā€™m not here just for that.ā€Ā 
Buckyā€™s mouth fell agape,Ā ā€œWhat kind of a man do you think I am?ā€ his voice was much louder than before,Ā ā€œDo YOU think it was nice of you to leave me? Ignore my phone calls and emails, for five fucking years? Our friendship ended, with nothing being said to me! I was oblivious! It took Steve three years to tell me you were in love with me and I had assumed at that point you moved on! So tell me, again, why the fuck you think what you did was okay? I was a mess!ā€Ā 
The nausea became stronger,Ā ā€œI-ā€Ā 
ā€œNo! Iā€™m not going to give you time to explain yourself, I love you too! Did I ever think the feelings were reciprocated? No! Because you did such a good job at not letting a single fucking person know what goes on inside your head,ā€ he poked my forehead,Ā ā€œI thought I knew what was happening, so I moved on. Is that somehow my fault because you never told me you loved me?ā€Ā 
ā€œBucky-ā€Ā 
ā€œSo I come here, yes after five years, professing my love for you and what am I met with? Anger?ā€ Bucky paused, as if he was waiting for a response.Ā 
You swallowed,Ā ā€œI didnā€™t know how to work with my feelings so I figured Iā€™d let them be. Leave you to be happy with your new life.ā€Ā 
ā€œJesus christ, (Y/N), let me kiss you! Please!ā€ Bucky almost cried, his eyes watering with frustration while you struggled internally with things you had masked away behind the facade of happiness for so many years.Ā 
You were the one who tried so hard to forget. You knew it was impossible, but pushing your feelings down was the only way that you knew how to cope with the impossible task of forgetting Bucky Barnes.Ā 
Slowly, you took a step towards him and pressed a small kiss on top of his quivering lips. You expected a lack luster response, for Bucky to smile and pull away. However, quickly his hands pulled you closer and he inhaled your scent as if it was the last time he was ever going to see you.Ā 
You couldnā€™t breath, but you didnā€™t care. You were finally in Buckyā€™s arms and this was something you wanted for so many years.Ā 
He lifted you back onto the table and your hands came to his cheeks, your thumb stroking his cheek bone delicately as his tongue slipped its way into your mouth. Before you could process what was happening, he laid you down on your back and hopped onto the table, straddling your thighs and slipping his shirt off of his body.Ā 
ā€œBucky this is unsanitar-ā€Ā 
ā€œ(Y/N), shut the fuck up.ā€ He whispered, a grin on his face while his lips met yours once again. It didnā€™t take long for you to melt back into his touch, his hips grinding on yours.Ā 
ā€œFuck, Iā€™ve wanted this for so long baby. You wouldnā€™t believe it.ā€ His hardening member pressed into your thigh and you could feel yourself becoming more and more wet by the second.Ā 
Suddenly you felt like your chest was being crushed, you pushed Bucky off and stood up from the table.Ā ā€œI- I need a bed.ā€Ā 
Buckyā€™s chest heaved,Ā ā€œWhat?ā€Ā 
You grabbed his arm and lead up towards your upstairs apartment,Ā ā€œFuck me, on a bed.ā€Ā 
ā€œDonā€™t have to tell me twice.ā€Ā 
You walked up the stairs and felt Buckyā€™s hands on you the whole time. It didnā€™t take long for you to start throwing off your clothes and rush to the bedroom.Ā 
Before Bucky could take off his boxers, he took a moment to look over your body. You could feel the sense of euphoria he had, his tears were long gone and were replaced with sweat, and love.Ā 
In a second he was back on top of you, ripping off your panties and kissing his way down your body. A moan left your mouth as his lips wrapped around each nipple, his hand rubbing his finger on your clit. Of course he knew exactly where it was.Ā 
His lips continued trailing down, turning up into a smile as he finally met your heat.Ā 
You couldnā€™t help but let a more primal moan bubble from your throat. There was nothing hotter than seeing Buckyā€™s face buried in between your legs. Your hands gripped his hair and pulled, resulting in an even bigger moan from him.Ā 
ā€œI have wanted to taste you,ā€ he took a breath, kissing your thigh,Ā ā€œsince I first laid eyes on you.ā€Ā 
ā€œThen keep doing it.ā€ You motioned for him to continue as you could feel yourself becoming so close. He bit his lip before inserting a finger into your sex, curling it upward while using his tongue to skillfully flick your clit.Ā 
Before you knew it, you felt heat rise up from core and your legs shook from around Buckyā€™s head.Ā ā€œAh, fuck!ā€ You yelled, crying out Buckyā€™s name and grinding your hips harshly.Ā 
Bucky didnā€™t give you much time to recover, pressing his cock against your sex before inserting it slowly. So slowly it was almost painful.Ā 
Bucky didnā€™t move for a second, instead soaking in the absolute pleasure that the two of you were receiving after years of repression. His chest collapsed on top of yours, kissing you and biting your lip between his teeth. His hips finally started to move, but he stayed low and as close to you as he possibly could.Ā 
Your nails dug harshly into his back and he thrust into you, the speed picking up. His icy blues bore into yours before his lips kissed your neck.
Way too soon, you felt heat build up in your core again. You tightened around him, pushing him over the edge. He fell on the bed beside you, grabbing you close and holding you tightly as you both came down from a long awaited high.Ā 
ā€œI think, that was the greatest sex I have ever had in my entire life.ā€ Bucky stated, his face red.Ā 
ā€œAh, not so much stamina for the super soldier, aye?ā€ You teased, noticing how out of breath he was.Ā 
ā€œIā€™ve never felt anything like that before. I had to hold on from cumming while I was eating you out.ā€ He praised, kissing your forehead. You blushed, never really one to be open about these sorts of things.Ā 
ā€œThereā€™s more where that came from.ā€ You whispered, leaning up and kissing his lips.Ā 
Maybe these last five years were exactly what the two of you needed. Some time apart lead both of you to realize your feelings for each other and inevitably, fate would have you two together.Ā 
Sometimes, all love needs is a little time.Ā

#Knock The Book 2: The Devil All the Time
WELL, I MADE IT TO THE 2nd BOOK REVIEW OF MINE, MEANS THAT Iā€™M A PASSIONATE AND PERSISTENT BITCH, PERIODT. No actually Iā€™m just bored and got really nothing to do, so here I am making judgmental, invalid and uncritical book review just to ease my guilt for doing nothing at home (just so my mom see me working through my laptop).
Okay The Devil All the Time is actually my first English book. The story of how I got this book as a matter of fact is quite irritating and funny at the same time. My uni friend, she saw this book in a modest book bazaar near her hometown. She was reading the title and the word ā€˜devilā€™ just remind her of me, she bought it and just gave it straight to meā€¦... Iā€™m sad but like thankful???
Itā€™s a secondhand and hardcover book but I donā€™t really mind, considering the fact that the quality is still very nice though, except the worn spots stained all over the cover that make the book looks very old. My friend bought this only for RP 25.000, yes dude youā€™re not misread this shit, it was THAT CHEAP (whoever sell and own this book before me, I really appreciate it). Although if you want to buy the new one, you can get this book for USD 26.95 which converted in rupiah would be RP 407.500, yeah its cost pretty fancy for broke students like us and I donā€™t know if the bookā€™s supposed to be available in your local bookstore but I think you can find it in worldwide shipping online store like amazon or any other shop perhaps. The bookā€™s cover illustrate a dying white mutt hanging on the ā€˜logā€™ and bunch of cross everywhere, the cover is actually make sense when you read the book. It published in 2011 by doubleday in United States of America. The Author is Donald Ray Pollock, and you can find the sum information about his background written on the cover, but based form the bookā€™s cover you can also check his website in donaldraypollock.com but when I checked, Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s really his website since it just like pest control website (LMAOO I HAD NO IDEA FR). Anyway,
Letā€™s go breaking down the book!
ā€œā€¦ Too much religion could be as bad as too little, maybe even worse, but moderation was just not in her husbandā€™s natureā€
The whole story in this book, basically give you portraits regarding the life of lunatics in the time after WWII. Nope, there is no sums up about the events happened in that moment so chill yā€™all non-historical enthusiast bitches. This book gonna give you a bizarre experience reading it, the first 10 pages of this book was already psychedelic, I assure that shit. Have you watched Games of Thrones series on HBO? Itā€™s chilling right how Ned Stark, the protagonist of the main series died in the first season???? EXACTLY that was the vibes u got after reading the first chapter and get crazier every time u read forward. By the way, this book embodied 7 chapters and 55 sub-chapters, the chapter in odd and even numbers has 2 different main focuses on each characteristic exist, here I sum it up for you:
On the odd numbers chapters (1, 3, and so on), the central story of these chapters is circling among the family of Willard Russel, his Mom Emma and Uncle Earskell and also those 2 insane peeps Roy Laferty and Theodore. Willard Russel used to be a navy army and a bit skeptical dealing with religion issues just like his uncle, but his mom has always been a devoted worshiper. Willard married to the beautiful and kind-hearted women named Charlotte and they was given a son named Arvin Eugene Russel, everything was normal until Charlotte got sick and Willard gone crazy praying to god for his wifeā€™s recovery and poor little Arvin has to suffer the predicament by his own self. Their stories always give me religious-fanaticism-gloomy vibes (is that even make sense??). Donā€™t even get me started with the life stories of the two brutes-ass man, Roy Laferty and Theodore they were used to be ā€˜preacherā€™ in Emma and young Willardā€™s Church. Nothing I could say further because itā€™s gonna be a major spoiler for you, but their stories really giving you insights of how frustration and fanaticism allow people to do something beyond their common sense.
ā€œYou remember what I told you the other day?ā€ He asked Arvin
ā€œAbout the boys on the bus?,ā€
ā€œWell, thatā€™s what I meant, you just got to pick the right timeā€
On the even numbers chapters (2, 4, and so on), the main tales is pertaining on the journey of Handerson couple, Carl and Sandy. They were like the Bonnie and Clyde but sad and exploitative version in this book. Carl is a ā€˜photographerā€™ and sandy working as a waitress in a cafĆ© called Wooden Spoon (Which the place where Charlotte used to work as a waitress and the place she met Willard for the first time as well). During summertime they got this ā€˜ritualā€™ ((but not in a religious way)) where they drive to different states and give a ride to the hitchhikers found on the way, then Carl forcefully offer them to fuck Sandy for free (HIS OWN WIFE) while he took pictures of them fucking and after that Carl kill them and take all the money those hitchhikers got in their pocket (dude I canā€™t even judge anything). But to be honest, Iā€™m not a fan of these two characters because they were all so ANNOYING to death. And then there is Bodecker Lee whoā€™s a police and also Sandyā€™s brother, ok thatā€™s it, Iā€™m not gonna give you any spoilers.
ā€œā€¦ He went down the street and sat on a bench in a park the rest of the day thinking about killing himself instead. Something broke in him that day. For the first time he could see that his whole life added up to absolutely nothingā€¦ā€
You might be confused since there are quite a lot of keen characters in this book but thereā€™s a point where all these bitches are relating to each other, so chill yā€™all impatient gripe-ass. Overall, the flow of the story is undoubtedly interesting for you to keep going throughout the whole story, because every phase gonna make you wondering about next things happened to them. But, the transitions among every chapters is quite uncomfortable for me, because sometimes when the story has reached its climax there is no resolutions coming to solve the problem immediately, and youā€™re faced to read the new chapter with a whole different setting and characters so itā€™s kind of ruining the vibes and emotions the book has made me, but again this just my personal preference so please donā€™t judge (while everything I did right now is judging inaccurately).
ā€œHe realized that he would never preach again, but that was all right. Heā€™d never been much good at it anyway. Most people just wanted to hear the cripple playā€
However, what I like the most from this book is the deepening of every character exists is so fascinating, even for just the side or supporting character (for god sake Iā€™m sorry idk what to called a character that isnā€™t the main one), for example a bus driver in Meade, Ohio which Willard talked to when he was on the way home after the war ended, the narration wrapped and portraits the driverā€™s life perfectly without make us bored, and thereā€™s still a bunch of interesting narration about the life of the side characters in this book that also as odds and intriguing as the main characterā€™s background (jesus, everything happened and everyone in this book is just so strange and peculiar I swear to god). The story finished in a most tragic-beautiful but still gloomy way, even though itā€™s quite predictable but still a very good closing for me personally. To be noted, on the way to the end of the story, there will be emerge another asshole priest character named Preston Teagardin, ready to shake you up until you finish the book. But still, letā€™s said this particular ā€˜last minute characterā€™ has proving that the author is paying so much attention of how the story ended isnā€™t leaving any 'rush-made' impression (this shit might confused you Iā€™m sorry my English hasnā€™t got any better *sorry hand sign* *sorry hand sign* *sorry hand sign*). # hashtag attention to the detail bro.
Holy crap, thatā€™s the first time Iā€™m almost able to cut all the bullshit I intend to bring it up here.
This book is one of my top 5 books that you have to read once in a life time (although I havenā€™t discover the other four, omg im sorry yā€™all). Little information for you that the first time I read this book (yeah I read it for quite few times) is when the campaign of presidential election era, which in Indonesia the religious are pretty sentimental issues, some of the people in my country suddenly became those annoying fanatical preachers, man I canā€™t stand it. And this book is just precisely relating to that condition and I get to know at least a glance of what the heck odds things happened in their minds, since you know fanaticism and stupidity doesnā€™t hit only on particular group of religions, race, gender or anything, we can all be stupid and brainless (especially me because I basically have no brain). There probably quite many scenes that is pretty disturbing to read (I donā€™t know if people could be triggered by it???? But I guess so) so yeah a bit warning. Overall, I genuinely recommend this book for you guys because every element in this book is almost perfect, the storylines, bold characters, and the RARE AND STRANGE AND SENSITIVE topic promote by the author in this novel is totally a BOOM. Donā€™t worry reading this book not going to give you those agnostic and atheist vibes HAHA chill I still consider myself a devoted Muslim tho (hashtag masyaallah ukthi).
By the way before I wrapped it up, I hear that this book will be made into a netflix film. WELL, of course Iā€™m excited because the casts are so amazing, and I love Netflix adaptation and I enjoy watch movies as much as I read books (again, unnecessary information of mine *sorry hand sign*). I found that the release date is postponed from the origin plan in 15th May (which is three days ago from I posted this on my page) due to I donā€™t know perhaps corona because that bitch has ruined everyone in the worldā€™s schedule, but for real I canā€™t find the exact information regarding to the updated release date, so while you wait the film to launch, why donā€™t you just go read the book first? I assure you this one not gonna give you any disappointment.
I think that would be it for this 2nd rubbish book review of mine. Although, I think I made a little progressive from the first one (OR MAYBE NOT???? Iā€™M SORRY Yā€™ALL) but of course thereā€™s still much deficiency I served. Still, I hope my writing get better in the process of making this whole novel of reviewing book inaccurately. To be honest, I wrote this shit not for getting any engagements or audience but for my own satisfied HAHA. So yeah Iā€™m literally comfortable writing for nothing. But bitch guess what Iā€™m just gonna keep going, until I could professionally writing and make it for a living? Well, amen for that.
Xiao, See you in Advance!

Day 7: New Life
@gamzeeweek
They set the mug down delicately upon the doily, and leaned back while crossing their legs.
ā€œAgain,ā€ they ordered calmly.
ā€œAgain, honored one? What do you mean?ā€
ā€œI mean start it all over. There were some salvageable moments, some decent parts, but honestly? Just scrap the whole thing. Do it all over, from the top.ā€
ā€œFrom theā€”the beginning, honored one? All the way?ā€
ā€œAll the way.ā€
ā€œBut, honored one, thatā€”ā€
ā€œI know what Iā€™m doing,ā€ they said calmly, taking another sip of their tea. ā€œNow. One more time, with feeling.ā€
ā€”
You are a wriggler, and you are so, so, so full of love. This screechy ass troll as is ten times your size is your favorite person, ever, in the whole world, and you are going to Climb On Him. He is your best friend, the best ever, you love him so muchā€”
And then it is time for you to go through the portal onto the meteor which crash lands down onto Alternia, and while you donā€™t know it because you are just a wriggler, the meteor is made of hyper-cushioning materials that prevented you from what would surely otherwise be a disastrous demise. You are at the fringes of the brooding caverns, far from the mouth where wrigglers as went through The Trials emerge to find loving custodians. You are found by a seagoat, who didnā€™t really want a wriggler, but had to go near-ish the caverns anyway, because of biology. You, of course, do not know this. You just know that this is your lusus, and you love him more than anything else in the entirety of everything ever.
ā€œNo, no, thatā€™s no good. Move the meteor so it lands there.ā€
ā€œHonored one, the adult jadebloodsā€¦ā€
ā€œI know, but we need to take a calculated risk here. Have the meteor land there.ā€
You go through the portal onto the meteor which crash lands down onto Alternia, and while you donā€™t know it because you are just a wriggler, the meteor is made of hyper-cushioning materials that prevented you from what would surely otherwise be a disastrous demise. You are just outside the mouth of the brooding caverns, the impact of your landing shaking the caves below. But you do not care, because you are a wriggler. You squeal happily when a tidegoat mouths at the tuft of hair growing between your horns. You chirr happily up at him, and crawl onto his back. You are happy, because you know that this is your lusus, and you love him more than anything else in the entirety of everything ever.
What you do not know, because you are still very new you see, is that a tidegoat is similar to a seagoat in the same way that rabbits are similar to hares. While, outwardly, they look very much alike, with only a difference in size, a seagoat, like a hare, is actually far more terrifying and emotionally unavailable than its smaller counterpart. They are also genetically incompatible. Who knew? Not you. Youā€™re just a little baby.
Tidegoatdad takes very good care of you, showing you how to wade in the tidepools and how to hold a sea urchin without hurting yourself or it, showing you the good places to look for shells and making sure youā€™re always inside by sunrise. He feeds you seaweed and fish and occasional squirrel, and makes you do your schoolfeeds while he sleeps curled up round your back like Alterniaā€™s most comfortable couch. Sometimes heā€™ll let you bodypaint on that pretty white fur and flubber of his, even though it always washes off when you two go play in the brine and waves later.
You make a friend with this neat sea-sis, a bright eyed, sharp toothed sister as canā€™t go much farther than your shore. Her lusus donā€™t like it none when she strays too far, and you understand. Tidegoatdad can breathe down your neck a little too. But thatā€™s okay, because heā€™s your lusus, and you know he only does it because he loves you so very motherfucking much. You and fishsis all up and get your friendship on, and she drags her moirail out to meet you too.
That brother is a motherfucking piece of work. Even with the two of you at him, he is still so reluctant to make strides towards being a nicer person. You canā€™t even imagine what heā€™d turn out without the both of you, there to keep him in check and in friendship. You do not know that you ainā€™t supposed to like them. That clowns and fish donā€™t get along. You are a clown and they are your friends, and you keep ā€˜em close to your pusher always.
You meet a sweet boy online as does steal your heart, and then break it also. You keep friendship, though, after. His friendship means more to you than his heart ever could, and the two of you spit fire and rhythm as is good and right. You meet a harsh boy as does rankle his hackles at every motherfucking thing, and although you ainā€™t subtle for shit, he donā€™t ever seem to notice how you drip diamonds whenever you speak to him.
Youā€™re awful excited to meet them in person. A wicked smart brother and sister of yours are making this game that is supposed to let you meet them and you are all kinds of holy motherfucking gleeful.
ā€”
ā€œSee, isnā€™t this better?ā€
ā€œIt is, honored one. It really, really is. But, I worry, honored one; the plotā€¦ā€
ā€œWill sort itself out. Keep watching.ā€
ā€”
The game is more fun than you thought itā€™d be. Itā€™s definitely upsetting when your lusus dies, that one you didnā€™t stop crying on until Karkat did come to the Land of Tents and Mirth and talk you down from it. But other than that, itā€™s fun. Youā€™re on a different team from Feferi and Eridan, except it turns out not really, you were all teammates all along! You think that is a very nice prank for the universe to pull on you. You are on a team with Karkat and Tavros, right from the start, and that is very fun and excellent.
You guess itā€™s also kind of a bummer that the world ended. But, eh, nothingā€™s permanent.
Now youā€™re chilling on this wicked ass motherfucking meteor with all your good friends (and some friends as arenā€™t too good, just yet, but you look forward to being better friends (and that one chica as scares you something terrible)). A pink-skinned motherfucker as your sniffsis has been up and motherfucking obsessed with lately sends you a link to some motherfuckinā€™ music video, and as near as you can tell, heā€™s making mockery of your religion?
You ainā€™t got super close ties to the mirthful churchful. Especially now, since the world ended. Still, it makes you kinda pissed off that this brother would send you something with sole intention of upsetting you. It worked; you are upset. So you take a walk to clear your head, even though your best bro did tell everyone to stay where he could keep eyes on them. Heā€™s busy trollingā€¦ someone, though, and it ainā€™t like youā€™re going to get into trouble.
You meander, opening chests here or there as you pass. One has this fugly ass puppet in it. Maybe if you were actually upset, instead of just a lil pissy, you would take this motherfucking comfort item and hold it, and look in its eyes because you want the plush, cottony comfort of something vaguely trolloid, but you arenā€™t, so you donā€™t. You just chuck it in your sylladex and forget about it on a colorful capcha card you ainā€™t ever going to open again. Staring at the pretty colors does calm you down some. Youā€™re thinking clear, again, and meander with a lil kick in your step.
ā€”
ā€œSee, honored one? Heā€™s deviating from the plot.ā€
ā€œYes,ā€ they said, delightedly pulling a rice cracker from the sleeve. ā€œAnd thus, creating a new one.ā€
ā€”
You lose the kick in your step when you encounter upon a collection of cliffs in the meteor. Where you are stands tall above some other pathway, where your sweet motherfuckinā€™ Tavbro and that bitch as scares you so badly are. Sheā€™s mocking him with his severed legs. The legs she did paralyze in the first place. Theyā€™re going to fight.
Youā€”
ā€œGive him a little nudge. Just a little one. Gamzee tends to lock up in high adrenaline situations, I donā€™t want him to be inactive for this.ā€
ā€œYes, honored one.ā€
ā€”move. Your body going seeming without your brainā€™s consent, at first, but once the first step is made forward, the rest follow natural as blood flowing in your veins.
You drop down from the height, one club grasped in two fronds, and you
take
her
head
clear
off.
She wouldā€™ve killed him. Sheā€™d had his lance in her hand poised and aimed at his chest. Half a second, less, and she wouldā€™ve pierced the bloodpump as you hold as precious and dear as you do. She wouldā€™ve killed him.
It donā€™t make what you did any better.
The tears come immediate, panic following.
You killed her.
You killed her.
You took your club and laid it in the head of a sister whose name you knew! You killed her!
You grasp and tear at your hair, shrieking, wailing. You didnā€™t mean to, youā€”god, oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god!
The guilt wells up alongside the panic and you are blind to all else, seeing only blue, blue, blue, and your own bile. You killed her! How could you do that! Her blood is on your hands, on your club, in your hair, soaking into the knees of your pants where you kneel and keen high and distressed through your gurgling tears. You do not know where you are going when Tavros lifts you to your feet with his strong and gentle hands, you do not know where he leads you. Your pan is full of only guilty panic, and the color blue. You follow where he leads.
He leads you to Karkat, back in the common room, who you rush to in the need of a diamond returned. You are sobbing and aching and panicked and vulnerable, and you need him, you need him, you need him to be gentle with you, to gentle you down, you have never needed him more in your life.
It will strike you, later, that that is exactly the kind of romantic bullshit that Karkat motherfucking thrives on.
Eridan, Sollux, and Feferi stop whatever conversation it is that they are having to stare in painful awkwardness at you, which you do not make no notice of, and Kanaya ushers them all to the warp pad out the common room, which you also donā€™t notice but thank her later for doing. Karkat sits you down in the chair heā€™d been ignoring for favor of standing to rant on his keyboard, and sits backwards in a chair of his own, right in front of you. Heā€™s got his palms on your cheeks and a crooning shoosh on his lips and heā€™s got you, heā€™s got you, youā€™re going to be okay. He shushes you down and gets the story out of you in sobbing parts. How you hadnā€™t wanted to. How youā€™d just acted, angry and protective and somehow all rolled up numb, and how you hadnā€™t been thinking at all until after the deed itself. He asks if itā€™s kind of like what you did with the Black King, and you guess, kind of. You hadnā€™t wanted to kill anybody. Hell, you donā€™t never want to hurt anybody, much less kill. Karkat knows. He knows, and tells you that this ainā€™t your fault. Vriska was the one trying to kill Tavros, you were just acting in kind. Itā€™s okay.
Terezi interrupts you, one point. On the trail of something or other, she has that look about her when sheā€™s playing investigator-detective and is on the hunt. Donā€™t say nothing, though, just takes a picture of you and Karkat, hands on teary cheeks, and leaves with a bright cackle.
You stay with Karkat some while after, and when you ask for a hug he gives you one.
Then your phones buzz and Feferi wants you all to come up to the roof. Some sort of excitement is happening with the horrorterrors out in that far off ring, and thereā€™s something to do with the humans?
Nepeta congratulates you immediately on your new diamond when you get there, looking all atwitter. You think it is real motherfuckinā€™ miraculous of your sister to know all these things about you without your even telling her, like woah. It just happened. Karkat tells you that the two of you are still holding hands, and then Nepeta tells you that Terezi sent her a photo. You are happy to realize that you are, in motherfucking fact, still holding hands with your best beloved, even as he starts screeching at your sisters who do make to laugh at him, while Equius stares on all uncomfortable and sweaty. He offers his congratulations too, stiff and awkward as that brother is always getting to be, and you smile at him a gratitude for his thoughts.
Tavros is near the lip of the roof, staring out into the vastness and the darkness. You want to go to him, but want to let go of Karkatā€™s hand less, so you stay put.
When the green sun shows up, and three siblings with it, you are well and truly motherfucking dazzled.
Tavros is there to greet Aradia when she returns to life, and you can taste their joy at their reunion. Dave and Rose, them human fuckers, are here too now, which, sick. You have no idea how that happened, but shit if you ainā€™t excited about it. More friends.
You lose track of happenings real motherfuckinā€™ quick after that. A green portal opens and a bucket flies through and hits Karkat straight in the horn, and then a whole bunch of people do a whole bunch of things to make the portal bigger and also faster(??), and then thereā€™s a giant ass golden ship flying alongside the meteor as is moving very quickly, and two more human motherfuckers as can come be friends, plus their human Lands of whatevers and whatevers, so you will be able to play around in them and get grist and fraymotifs and shit so long as Jadesis is up and willing to shrinkify you, and you are very unaware of so many things as happened to make this your reality but you are well and truly happy for it.
Seems to you that everything is going to work out just fine.
ā€”
ā€œThisā€¦ is really goodā€¦ā€
ā€œYes,ā€ they said proudly, ā€œyes it is.ā€
ā€œBut, honored one, Iā€™m still confused. With Gamzee, you know, happy, how will the circle complete?ā€
ā€œThat circle was stupid anyway,ā€ they said with a wave of their hand. ā€œWeā€™ll simply close another circle instead.ā€
ā€œYes, honored one, but how?ā€
They shrugged. ā€œWe shall have to see, wonā€™t we?ā€
ā€”
The three human years on the meteor go by in a rush of memories that are both happy and not. Life be like that. You are good friends with all gathered there, by the end of it. Dating five boys in a set of full quadrants and chilling with Feferi as you always used to do, on the beach. Aradia, who Sollux and Tavros and Terezi did convince to stay, likes to braid your hair and take you on adventures through the Lands, John is a hilarious motherfucker and Jade is a sweetheart. You improve on fighting by battling imps, learn new fun things to cook, play board games and FLARP without the fatal part and make piles of horns and pillows and empty soda bottles wherever you do please to.
You also, though, get a visit from a different you. An older you. A you with scars you donā€™t recognize, and Aradiaā€™s music boxes in his hands.
He tells you that there is a task you must do. And you can do it now, or you can do it later, but you gotta do it. Youā€™ll come back right to this time, when youā€™re done, Aradiaā€™s music boxes wonā€™t fail you, and then youā€™ll give them back to him and heā€™ll go back when heā€™s from.
So you take them, and do as he tells you he did.
You go to an egg all spiral-colored, watch it hatch and cradle the snake as slithers out.
Cherubs grow fast, you learn. Way, way faster than trolls and humans. It ainā€™t gradual. Itā€™s sortaā€¦ all at once, and then nothing for a while, and then spurt! All at once again. You only get to cradle a baby for a few perigees, most. The child is a little longer, but youā€™re not there for even a full two sweeps before they surge up into adolescence, which will apparently last many sweeps after this.
You set up the two computers while Callie is awake, and ensure she is and always will be in contact with her friends, the neon colored motherfuckers as you havenā€™t met yet. You also get her contact with your future self, so she wonā€™t be so lonely and fatherless as you would hate to leave her. But youā€™re not even an adult yourself, and you wonder at why the universe makes you do this while you are so young.
Caliborn claws you up when you tell him itā€™s time for you to leave, and you do not give him your future selfā€™s contact. If your future self wants to talk to him, he can come here and update Calibornā€™s computer his own motherfucking self.
You do love him, though. Bratty as he may be.
Justā€¦ youā€™ll love him more in memory.
You leave, just out of their reach, the keys that your older self gave to you when he handed you the music boxes. You dunno what theyā€™re for, but whichever one of them leaves this place will have something to do with them, you think?
You hug Callie one last time, and head out.
Back on the meteor, you are so, so, so happy to see your friends again. To them, you werenā€™t even gone a whole hour, but you have not seen them in some sweeps and you have missed them terribly. But this is your role, you guess, like seeing dead bodies is Daveā€™s, or wrecking reality is Roseā€™s, or being really cool is Tereziā€™s.
You donā€™t let Karkat go for a motherfucking week, purrbox up and running the whole while.
When you do arrive in the new session, everything goes sideways so fast youā€™d be real motherfuckin impressed if you werenā€™t one of the things going sideways. Still, between theā€¦ how many of you are there? 18? 19? Somewhere ā€˜round 20 of you, you get it figured out. You donā€™t wanna really fight any bosses, so you get to chill with the Mayor, who you are all in pretty collective agreement is the best, and Callie! Whoā€™s here! And wearing a ring she got from Roxy, who is a very nice girl who you approve of very much! You hug Callie very tightly and she tells you how much sheā€™s missed you. Youā€™ve missed her too, for all it hasnā€™t even been a perigee on your end, and the three of you sit and chat (mostly, Callie tells you about her life since youā€™ve left, and you listen). Youā€™re there when the Mayorā€™s girlfriend arrives, and she is a very scary lady who you respect a lot.
A lot of things happen all at once, shortly thereafter. All the bosses are defeated, and a lot of people are fraymotifing, and then Feferi and Terezi bring Vriska back to life, and Terezi punches her straight in the face and shouts some seriously pitch black inches at her, and Vriskaā€¦ changed, when she died. She apologizes and everything, swears to be better, for Terezi, for everyone, and you do not know what is going on there, but hey, if killing her was what it took for her to be a good person, then, you guess youā€™re almost glad you didā€¦?
That one guilt had been the single worst part of all these last three years, for you. Something as haunted you eternal, no matter how much you jammed with Karkat about it, no matter how all your friends forgave you of it. But to see that in the end, it was for the best, well. You are finally able to let that go.
There are many people on the lily pad. You are one. And you, collectively, have won.
You go through the door, and you obtain your happy ending.
ā€”
ā€œ....ā€
ā€œDear, are you crying?ā€ they asked gently.
ā€œYes, honored one. I, Iā€™m just, so happy. He deserves this. They all do.ā€
ā€œThey do,ā€ they agreed, smiling warmly. ā€œNow, how about a soft epilogue?ā€
ā€”
Youā€™ve been god of this new universe for two sweeps, or four years. Aradia does a lot of time shenanigans, while Dave donā€™t touch time shit no more. Kanaya likes to meddle and fuss with the past, with the Mayorā€™s help, and a democratic, socialist society rises up with their efforts and everyone all lives together in joy and happiness. Sometimes people try to sortaā€¦ fence themselves off by species, but that is a very dumb and silly thing to try and do, and it never actually keeps at that way for longer than a year or sweep.
You are happily retired from all fighting and magic Rage bullshit, and spend your days happily with your quads and daughter, who is now the same age as you, pretty much. Callie hands you the keys you left her brother and her, at one point, and you borrow Aradiaā€™s boxes and head back to your younger self, since you gotta complete that circle, and a bunch of other circles that you had no idea you actually played a part in. Apparently youā€™re a pretty involved dude, for all you feel you donā€™t do a terrible lot. Lots of moving pieces out of your awareness. But thatā€™s fine, that youā€™re just a domino in a line, youā€™re happy to be, because what you do sparks a deep joy in you, and you canā€™t imagine your life going any different from how itā€™s going now. When you return to your time and retirement, youā€™re happy to see past!Callie as a contact, and strike up correspondence with your daughter who isnā€™t the same age as you.
Rose starts up talk with John on going back in time and fighting Lord English when he is youngā€”
ā€œMm, yes, this is exactly the sort of nonsense that simply will not fly. John doesnā€™t have retcon powers since there was nothing to retcon, which means the house juju has been successfully removed from the narrative. We cannot be having this.ā€
ā€˜Yes, honored one. Oh, how about this?ā€
ā€”and a little protective curl of Rage flickers up in the part of your soul that is magic. You tell them that Lord English might be a bitch and a bastard, but the little one is still only just Caliborn. And Caliborn, for all the scars he gave you and the headaches as didnā€™t fade for hours after he went to sleep, is still your child, even as you know he is your child that grows up cruel and perverse and pure, straight up, motherfucking evil. They leave him be.
ā€œOh perfect, well done!ā€
After that, there isā€¦ nothing. No more Game nonsense, no imps or demons or gods. Just you, and the family as isnā€™t yours by any blood or relation, but is your motherfucking family, by choice and emotion and deep, unwavering love.
You are an adult, and you are so, so, so full of love.

Havoc - Chapter 2
Pairing: SasuSaku
Plot:Ā  Sasuke knew people were still afraid of the club and especially of its Sergeant at Arms ā€“ and he wouldnā€™t have it any other way. He had been untouchable then and still was now. Indeed, there was nothing and no one in this world that Sasuke Uchiha feared. Except Sakura fucking Haruno. Biker AU.
Note:Ā So hi everybody, Iā€™m also continuing my SasuSaku fanfic after itā€™s been pronounced dead by my year-long absence *coughs awkwardly* sorry about that. Anyway, I really hope you like the new chapter. Iā€™ve got a few great ideas for this story and depending on your responses, I might just try and finish it. So please let me know if you liked it and if you want me to continue it. My main story is still going to be From Dusk Till Dawn (MadaSaku, check it out if youā€™re into that pairing too), so Havoc will remain a side project for now, unless you convince me otherwise ;) Enjoy!
PS: If you want to read the first chapter, or maybe read it again, because itā€™s been ages since this story has been posted and you probably forgot whatā€™s going on, youā€™re going to have to scroll through my blog to get to it. Unfortunately, I canā€™t post a link to it here, because this way this chapter doesnā€™t show up under any of the tags. So I had to take out the link to even make this post visible to you guys. Really sorry about that, if anybody knows how to bypass this shit (because it happened to my FDTD chapter, too), Iā€™d be happy if you could help me. :)
Sasuke watched her deliciously bend over the pool table, left hand steadying the cue and right arm drawn back to aim for the white ball. He had to supress a groan threatening to escape his throat at the sight of her tight black jeans stretching over her ass.
God have mercy on him, that woman was still a fine piece of machinery.
He knew he wasnā€™t the only bastard here ogling the Presidentā€™s daughter, but at least he had the decency to be subtle about it. Letting his gaze roam around the dimly-lit and packed room of his favourite biker bar, he noticed with a growing rage the many dirty looks and even dirtier gestures thrown her way. Mooseā€™s was not only frequented by the Havoc, but by bikers from other MCs from the region as well. Bikers, who didnā€™t know about the Havocā€™s well-guarded secret in the form of a very enticing, very off-limits pink-haired bombshell. Bikers, who werenā€™t familiar with the feeling of Sasukeā€™s foot up their asses ā€“ something he was gleefully looking forward to doing should those fuckers not stop drooling like some teenage boys who discovered their dicks for the first time.
Taking a sip of his beer in a feeble attempt to calm his nerves, he watched Sakura throw her head back in laughter at something funny Ino said. As she was rising from her bent-over position, her tiny tank top rose as well, exposing her taut bare midriff. She had borrowed one of her friendā€™s Black Sabbath tops, because she didnā€™t want to stick out with her fancy white cashmere turtleneck sweater in a run-down biker bar where one half is clad in dark leather and the other half is basically not clad at all. He would have laughed at the image she was presenting ā€“ a delicate, graceful princess in a Black Sabbath shirt ā€“ were it not for the fact that he knew Sakura was a die-hard Rock fan.
And by God, she was every bit his dream girl now as she was at seventeen.
Right after she rained down on her dad and him to properly tear the both of them a new one a few hours ago, they convened an emergency church to deal with the clusterfuck one of their latest prospects had dug the club into. As it turned out, the little fucker thought it would be a sneaky idea to hide the small bags of drugs between book pages in Konohaā€™s smallest, most inconspicuous book shop, tell his customers which books to look out for, and earn some cash on the side that way that nobody would ever have found out about. Were it not for the fact that that tiny little book shop belonged to the Presidentā€™s daughter, who immediately went and re-introduced the Havocā€™s Sergeant at Arms to the soft feeling of her hand slapping the everloving shit out of him.
Despite the fact that the boss tried his best to calm her down and reassure her the club would take care of everything, Sakura stuck around. She made it more than clear that she didnā€™t trust Sasuke with this matter, especially since she was personally involved. She wanted to make sure there were consequences. So Kakashi invited her to stay for the night and catch up with some old friends before dealing with the poor bastard.
Fast forward a few hours and you had a royally pissed off Sasuke sitting at Mooseā€™s staring daggers into the bikers ogling Sakuraā€™s fine ass. ā€œBro, you grip that beer bottle any tighter and itā€™ll burst into a hundred pieces. Pretty sure you donā€™t want an injured hand for the things youā€™re gonna do tonight.ā€ Sasuke noticed a shock of blonde hair enter his field of vision and his annoyance immediately went up a notch. ā€œPlease, I could beat the crap out of that lil cockroach even when Iā€™m drunk off my ass and with my hands tied behind my back.ā€
ā€œProbably. But you should still loosen that death grip. Might make some people wonder what makes you so angry,ā€ Naruto cautioned while shooting him a pointed look.
ā€œDrop it,ā€ Sasuke growled threateningly.
Naruto sighed in frustration and leaned back. ā€œLook, man, I know youā€™ve got history with her and everything, but you gotta stop acting like some brooding love-sick puppy whoā€™s still hung up on his ex-girlfriend if you ā€“ā€œ
ā€œShe was never my girlfriend.ā€
ā€œWhatever, dude. My point is, if you really wanna make it up to her, then youā€™ve gotta stop sulking in the shadows, wondering from afar what could have been. This is your chance, man! She always stays away from the club, but now sheā€™s here, and you have the chance to talk to her and sort that shit out between you two.ā€
Naruto watched his best friend drop his gaze from the woman in question to the beer bottle in his hand. Ā This had always been Sasukeā€™s reaction to all things Sakura: silence. Ever since shit had hit the fan between the two seven years ago, the raven-haired biker refused to talk about the brief time he spent with her. The few times they had seen each other in between, there was nothing but reserved silence and awkward glances.
Naruto sometimes couldnā€™t believe how utterly dumb his best friend was. Sasuke was incredibly fearless and one of the meanest motherfuckers he had ever met. But when it came to Sakura, his guilty conscience left him a pathetic heap of surly misery. It was sad to watch, really.
ā€œLook, Sasukeā€¦ I have no fucking clue what exactly went down between you two, but itā€™s been eating at you for seven fucking years. Whenever you see her, you become thisā€¦ this sad littleā€¦ blob ofā€¦ I donā€™t know man, sadness I guess and ā€“ā€œ
ā€œYou sure have a way with words.ā€
ā€œItā€™s just so pathetic, bro. I mean, I can clearly see your eyes tearing up, your nose is getting all red and snotty and ā€“ā€œ
ā€œIs that supposed to cheer me up now?ā€
ā€œUgh, itā€™s nasty. And when you start crying, you make all these miserable little noises and ā€“ā€œ
ā€œNaruto.ā€
ā€œYou know, snot everywhere.ā€œ
ā€œThatā€™s enough.ā€
ā€œJustā€¦ disgusting, really.ā€
Naruto mentally patted himself on the shoulder when he saw the tiniest hint of a smirk on Sasukeā€™s otherwise sullen face. Pleased with his execution of a manly encouragement that consisted of straight-up insulting his best friend in order to cheer him up, he leaned forward again, so only Sasuke could hear him.
ā€œJokes aside, man, I know this shit between you two has been weighinā€™ on ya. And you think youā€™re doing the both of you a favour by staying away from her, but youā€™re not, because itā€™s obvious that sheā€™s got as much unfinished business with you as youā€™ve got with her. Otherwise she wouldnā€™t hold a grudge. You gotta clear the air at some point, because sheā€™s fucking family and you donā€™t ignore family. So you might as well do it now.ā€
Naruto took a hold of his beer bottle and moved out of the booth. Before turning to the bar, he slapped his right hand on his best friendā€™s left shoulder. ā€œBut you know, thatā€™s just my two cents. What do I know about love and relationships? Iā€™ve only been happily married for five years now.ā€
Sasuke just grunted in response and lifted his bottle to his lips to take another sip. He let his eyes find Sakura again and mulled over what Naruto said. He might have been right about a few things. He was definitely right about them finally needing to stop dancing around each other and sit down and have a proper heart-to-heart.
But there was one thing Naruto was without a doubt wrong about: there was absolutely nothing about his clusterfuck of a relationship with Sakura that had anything to do with love.
Instead, it had everything to do with the fact that he had smashed her heart to smithereens on the night of her eighteenth birthday and effectively shut the door on any romance they might have had a shot at, sealing it with a hundred padlocks and nailing it down with wooden boards for good measure.
ā€œHeā€™s been staring at you all night.ā€
Sakura couldnā€™t help but roll her eyes at the blonde. She moved around the pool table to determine the angle of her next shot, when she heard Inoā€™s voice right next to her ear.
ā€œCome on, you know he still has the hots for you, right?ā€
ā€œBullshit he still has the hots for me!ā€
ā€œAha!ā€ Sakura found herself at the other end of Inoā€™s accusing finger pointed directly at her face. ā€œI knew that would get your attention. You like thinking Sasukeā€™s still into you, donā€™t you?ā€ Sakura resisted the urge to swipe off Inoā€™s perfectly made eyebrows that were wiggling so hard they were threatening to shoot out of her face.
ā€œDonā€™t be ridiculous, that has got nothing to do with it. I just find it absurd that the big, bad, cold-hearted Sasuke Uchiha would still think about something that happened seven fucking years ago.ā€
Ino cocked her head to the side and looked at Sakura with a knowing smile. ā€œBut you still think about it.ā€
Sakuraā€™s shoulders slumped as she exhaled in annoyance. ā€œIā€™m not talking about it, alright?ā€
ā€œLook, forehead, I know what he did was terrible, but I also know Sasuke and I know that heā€™s actually a pretty good guy beneath all that brooding Batman bullshit. I genuinely think that he regrets what he did back then. I mean, he did try to confront you about it several times, but you were the one who shut him down. Why donā€™t you just let him say what he has to say, let him apologise, and then move on. You might pretend like youā€™re over that whole thing, but I know what you really want is some closure.ā€
Sakura sighed in frustration and blew a hair out of her face. She was just about to throw some witty remark back at Ino, when she noticed several bikers move through the crowd at Mooseā€™s. The Havocs were leaving, which was her cue to do the same.
She felt Inoā€™s hands grab her shoulders and turn Sakura towards her. ā€œJust think about it, alright? Youā€™ll be here for the whole weekend, so this would be the perfect opportunity to finally get this shit over with, which I know is what you actually wanna do instead of ogle his rock-hard abs when you think Iā€™m not looking. Yeah, donā€™t roll your eyes at me, missy, donā€™t think I donā€™t notice these things. Now you go and have fun tonight. But donā€™t rough him up too bad.ā€
With a secretive wink, Ino headed for the bar, leaving Sakura alone at the pool table. Just as she was about to turn around and head for the exit herself, she was met with the sight of a seriously pissed off Sasuke who fixed his determined gaze on her.
She watched the muscles in his upper arm flex enticingly as he raised his right hand to his lips to take the cigarette out of his mouth. The smoke was floating out of his inviting lips as they moved to form words that barely reached her sex-starved brain. All Sakura heard was his rumbling growl.
ā€œItā€™s time.ā€
The cold air outside of Mooseā€™s did little to clear Sasukeā€™s head. He was still on the fence about if and how he should approach Sakura. But heā€™d have to postpone wracking his brain, because the Havocs were gearing up to take care of that lil dipshit who dared to cross the Presidentā€™s daughter.
ā€œWhereā€™s daddy?ā€
He whipped his head around to see Sakura trailing right behind him, zipping up that tiny little leather jacket he couldnā€™t believe still fit her curves.
ā€œWaiting for us at the warehouse.ā€
The rumbling of his brothersā€™ Harleys enveloped them as Sasuke watched some of them leave Mooseā€™s lot. He headed for his V-Rod Muscle and grabbed his jet-black helmet with the name of his bike ā€“ War Hog ā€“ spray painted on the back in silver and scarlet letters. He was just about to put it on when he felt a presence behind him and turned around, only to be met with the sight of a very annoyed Sakura looking up at him expectantly.
ā€œYou ridinā€™ with me?ā€
His eyes noted the rise of her perfectly sculpted eyebrow before she spoke, ā€œYou got a problem with that?ā€
There it was again, that feeling of unease that spread in his stomach whenever she pinned him with that scrutinising gaze of hers. ā€œNo, just figured youā€™d rather ride with Naruto. Or anybody else, for that matter.ā€
ā€œWell the others are already gone, and Naruto said he needed the extra space to secure his bag of torture instruments or whatever.ā€
Sasuke immediately knew that was bullshit, there was no bag on the back of Narutoā€™s bike. The Havocs werenā€™t going to torture the poor bastard. It was just going to be a little slap on the wrist, really.
ā€œAlright, youā€™re riding with me. Here, put this on,ā€ he grumbled while handing her his helmet and reaching for his spare one.
Sakura looked at the round object in her hands as if it just sprouted a head and started talking to her. At the sight of her disgusted look, Sasuke let out an exasperated sigh. ā€œWhat, woman?ā€
ā€œYouā€™re giving me the helmet that has the word hog spray painted on it in big fat letters? Real tactful, Sasuke.ā€
He couldnā€™t supress the smirk that was dangling on the edge of his lips. ā€œI can recall a few even naughtier words I used to call you.ā€ His smirk widened when he saw a faint blush taint her cheeks. Sakura scoffed and rolled her eyes in an overly dramatic fashion. ā€œOh yeah, now that I think about it, I remember you doing that eye rolling thing a lot, too. Only they usually rolled into the back of your head whenever I ā€“ā€œ
ā€œOkay, thank you, thatā€™s enough. Iā€™m putting on the helmet now, I canā€™t hear you.ā€
A triumphant grin graced his features at the sight of his dream girl wearing his helmet.
ā€œGood girl.ā€
Sasuke ignored the look Sakura was shooting him, put on his spare helmet while straddling his bike and waited for Sakura to do the same. When he felt her soft curves press against his back and her arms circle around his waist, he let War Hog roar to life.
He turned his head slightly, so she could hear him better over the rumbling of his engine and asked, ā€œYou ready?ā€
She nodded in confirmation. ā€œHit the road, Sergeant.ā€
Sasuke took her left hand into his own, pulled her arm tighter around his torso, and gave her a little squeeze. ā€œYou hold on tight, sweetheart.ā€
He could still hear her scoff behind him. ā€œI was practically raised on a bike, Iā€™ll be fine. This is no big deal.ā€
Lowering the visor on both their helmets, Sasuke took off and left Mooseā€™s parking lot. The cool breeze around him and the low rumbling beneath him he felt whenever he rode his bike always had a calming influence on his often raging mind. This time, it was different though. This time, he had Sakura pressed against his back again for the first time in seven years.
And even though she might have claimed riding with him was no big deal, her tight grip on his waist and the way she leaned her head against his shoulders told him a different story.

City Folk Story Time
You guys remember that Wii Speak attachment that only worked for Animal Crossing City Folk? It let you talk with anyone when you visited their towns, even if they didnā€™t have the accessory. And let me tell ya, I remember all sorts of bizarre stories from when I was younger.
-There was the time I met a sports dad who bought the Wii Speak for Smash Bros Brawl but it didnā€™t work for that game and he constantly reminded us how he bought City Folk for his daughter. -There was the time I visited a town where the player clearly time traveled in order to get fish and bugs that were seasonal exclusives. The planets must have lined up or something cause I was on a rare fishing streak. The owner of the town would only respond to me withĀ Ā 
ā€œ...ā€
He then later deleted me off his friends list.
-There was the time I met these two players who were in a long distance relationship and they were going on and on about how in love they were. They were also both like 14. So they planned to role play this entire wedding sequence that would take place in one of their homes and they wanted me to be the minister. Keep in mind I just met these people and they planned to do it at precisely eight in the morning the very next day. Naturally, I slept through the whole thing cause I wasnā€™t getting up for that bullshit and never saw them again. Iā€™m just gonna assume theyā€™re still waiting for me to this day.
However, nothing will top the Golden Roses story.Ā  -Once upon a time I met this kid named Preston, we were around the same age but his voice was way softer than mine. Preston went and made his entire house into a church. I hacked my Wii so I could enable cheats and have infinite bells because fuck earning money in City Folk. I liked giving players money and he was excited to expand his church again. He was very religious but a super nice kid.
Then comes Justin.
Apparently, Preston and Justin were online buddies before I met them. Justinā€™s voice sounded a lot like a kid who just started puberty, so it was voice crack city. We all became animal crossing pals and frequented each otherā€™s towns. Justinā€™s town had managed to get some golden roses, which are only possible to get if you had a golden watering can and if you used it on wilting black roses. Everything was cool until one fateful day when I went to visit Justinā€™s town. Thanks to the power of Wii Speak, I was able to enter the town right in the middle of a heated argument.Ā I walk up to them and Iā€™m likeĀ ā€œGuys whatā€™s going on?ā€Ā 
Trust me when I say, you have not lived until you hear a screechy prepubescent kid screamĀ ā€œHe stole my gOlDeN ROSES!!!!ā€ Preston was trying to calm him down and reassure him that he didnā€™t steal any roses but Justin was not fucking having it. The truth was, Preston really didnā€™t steal anything. But this was during the early days of Nintendo Wi-Fi and if youā€™ve never experienced it then consider yourself lucky. Basically, if you were in someone elseā€™s town in City Folk, you would see some connection weirdness. Sometimes you would see characters running through cliffs or walking through lakes because the Wi-Fi is trying itā€™s hardest to make sure that the connection is stable. What had actually happened was that at one point Preston went to pick up something he dropped and it just happened to look like he was reaching for the golden roses.Ā 
So I try to mediate the situation by giving them each a million bells to make up. This only kept them pissed but now they had money. Eventually, Justin flips his shit and starts telling his inner circle of animal crossing friends to not trust him because heā€™s a thief. Now I donā€™t know how much influence Justin actually had because apparently Preston lost almost every friend on his friends list. I guess he was hot shit on the GameFAQs City Folk boards or something. I visited Prestonā€™s town a few more times after that day until eventually he stopped playing altogether. I genuinely felt bad for him because he didnā€™t do anything wrong.
If Animal Crossing Switch uses that voice app all Iā€™m gonna say is get fucking ready cause people do not fuck around when it comes to Animal Crossing.Ā

New Fic: Rough Riding (Sons of Anarchy)
Chapter 1
Wattpad | FF.net
Tumblr media
Chapter 1: Welcome to Charming
California highways were always the best for long drives, especially to motorcyclists. The long stretch of road seemed endless, the wind playing across the riderā€™s face and tangling poorly prepared hair. The power of the bike vibrating through the very fiber of their being, there is no losing the sense of danger that teases at them flirtatiously as they ride faster, harder, and on more twists and turns than they ever dared before. Unless it was a drive to clear oneā€™s mind, youā€™ll find a smile hidden behind the eyes of any rider, unless they have shades on to hide their joy from you. Hidden behind the badass biker scowl there is always a joy for the ride.
At least that was the feeling for the woman, her brother and her friend. Two of whom were Ā trapped in a van that held their bikes along with supplies belonging to the third boldly speeding ahead of them on his own Dyna. Both girls glared at him, wanting to have the cool night air skim across their skin and not deal with the stuffy rental that smelled of gas station sushi and the aftermath of such bad decisions. They had been in the car for so long that theyā€™d gotten used to it, but every pit stop they were slapped with the putrid odor while Tank rode freely, his wavy, shoulder length hair billowing behind them as he stupidly rode sans a helmet. A further insult to the girls and how they were trapped.
ā€œWe better get there soon.ā€ The passenger grumbled, her youthful, pixie-like face hardening with her frown and her pool water blue eyes hardening at the tanned figure in front of them. ā€œOr Iā€™m stealing his Dyna at the next stop.ā€
A brief and rough snort escaped the driverā€™s throat as she tried to imagine it. ā€œIā€™d pay money to see that, not gonna lie. You know Tank wonā€™t go easy on you because youā€™re a girl.ā€
ā€œI can take him.ā€ Came the defense with a seemingly indifferent bob of the shoulders.
ā€œRen, heā€™s got a foot and Iā€™m pretty sure a little more than a hundred-fifty pounds on you.ā€ A fuller bottom lip pushed past itā€™s top lip in a concern pout. ā€œHe also has, ya knowā€¦ a rep when it comes to fist fights.ā€
ā€œYou say that like we donā€™t either.ā€ Thin lips pulled upwards mischievously, Sirenā€™s voice still unaffected. ā€œBesides, I was our Sergeant at Arms, wasnā€™t I? Thanks for The lack of faith, Vix.ā€
Vixen Tirado let out a tired sigh, running her hand through a mess of chestnut brown hair. She new perfectly well how capable the raven haired girl was. Her rail-rod thin frame mixed with her youthful face and short stature made it easy for people to underestimate her. No, Vix knew better, but she also knew her brother; he wasnā€™t named ā€˜Tankā€™ for no reason. After a moment of careful thought, not wanting to insult the only female sheā€™d opened up to, she let out a small sigh with an airier laugh this time.
ā€œI mean he does lack the agility and reflexes that you do.ā€ She offered a sidelong glance at the girl smirking next to her. ā€œBut if anybody is gonna knock my bro on his ass, itā€™s gonna be me.ā€
Both women laughed at that, Siren fully aware of the sibling rivalry that was known to get physical. Vix was never a tomboy, Ā nor was she a girly girl, but she refused to live up to the Old Lady Example of her mother or any of the sweetbutts that she was subsequently raised by. No, she was going to ride on her own, and made sure she found women that felt the same way. Her brother, though sometimes concerned about what other men would say, always supported her in this, and taught her everything their dad taught him. Thus begat the never ending competition.
ā€œOkay, thatā€™s fair.ā€ Siren nodded, turning to look out at the span of desert around them. ā€œWhen he invited us to join him on his run Charming I thought I was gonna get a decent ride in. Not this delivery bullshit.ā€
ā€œYeah, or that heā€™d have a brother or two,ā€ Vix grumbled, amber eyes checking her mirrors for what felt like the millionth time this trip. ā€œBut no, he tricked us into this fuckery. They must be using up all the prospects for something else.ā€
ā€œAnd here I thought it was that SAMRO finally decided to go Co-ed. Or that a certain Tacoma resident was missing you.ā€ A pale hand went to cover a doll-like face that held no real innocence in the mock expression. ā€œOh shit, did I say both of those out loud?ā€
Vix let out a snort, shaking her head at her friendā€™s eccentric ways, doing her best to. ā€œYou know you did, ā€˜mana.ā€
ā€œOh, I must have struck a nerve! The spanglish begins.ā€ Though Siren new that her friend was simply calling her a sister, she needed to live up to the name. ā€œI mean, itā€™s great that you are bilingual, it helps me to understand your tolerance level.ā€
Her response was a nod coupled with a small hum of affirmation, leaving the other girl to turn on the radio and sing along with the music. Siren was known to babble at times, leaving Vixen to quietly listen and add to the conversations as she saw fit. She knew that her friend didnā€™t have a lot of people to talk to, and though Vix didnā€™t say much, what she did have to say usually helped to sort all the noise in Sirenā€™s head.
About eight songs later, they both straightened up at the redwood sign coming up to the right of Tank. They both turned to each other with smiles on their faces in spite of their previous complaints. The small town of Charming opened up to them, small shops lining the streets, and giving way to houses and more business related real estate. Free of commercial real estate, the whole town was full of small businesses and family stores that have been around forever. Their town slogan wasnā€™t wrong, the name did adequately say it all. Vix was sure there was more to the town that met the eye, based on her business here, but the look of the town was quaint and homey. Siren seemed more than a little excited about it while Vix prefered being back in Tacoma with the long runs to go shopping and the open air around everything.
They soon pulled up to Teller-Morrow Automotive Repair, turning into the open gate with ease. Vix jumped out of the cab as soon as she took the keys out the ignition, stalking her way over to Tank so quickly, her hair came up in down in a ripple of waves around her shoulders. She waited for him to back his bike into the line of other bikes, with her hand held out expectantly.
ā€œHave a nice drive?ā€ He smirked, his hardened face opening up with the expression.
ā€œI had a drive.ā€ She responded, looking pointedly at her empty palm. ā€œIā€™ll have a better one when my Harley is free from being stuck with whatever we brought here.ā€
Tank gave out a deep, but jovial laugh, keeping the keys she was looking for tucked away in his kutte. When she ground her teeth at him in annoyance, otherwise not moving, he let out a sigh, a tired hand running through wind-tangled strands. Stepping around the bike, he wrapped a burly arm around her lean frame, squeezing her close for a second before releasing her.
ā€œGotta talk to the Prez and the SAMTAC contact first, Cyn.ā€ The timbre of his voice meant to be more calming than his normal gruff tone, but it set her on edge even more. ā€œCanā€™t have you two opening the truck without them. Already took a chance bringing you here.ā€
ā€œRight, and Iā€™m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that Koz was away and you had no one to babysit us.ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ Vix punched him in the shoulder. ā€œ Which is really not needed given that we are only a couple years younger. Also, cut it out with the real name shit, I have an alias for a reason.ā€
ā€œYou and I both know that Melly would have ended up needing you to bail her out, or youā€™d get into a fight after drinking too much, and without any Sons to have your backā€¦ā€ He sighed. ā€œLook, I get that you miss your charter, I do, but theyā€™ve been patched over by a group you didnā€™t like, so you left. You need to start following our rules again.ā€
ā€œI didnā€™t even get to wear the full rocker, Tank.ā€ She crossed her arms, not liking to be reminded of that. ā€œStupid Steel Sirens stole away my chance.ā€
ā€œThey also would have taken Mellyā€™s name away from her if she stayed, so donā€™t act like youā€™re the only one who gets to be angry.ā€ A large hand gripped her shoulder briefly. ā€œBut come on, sheā€™s staying by the truck, talking to their prospect it looks like, letā€™s get this done and we can figure out accommodations.ā€
ā€œGreat, another thing I could have done had I gotten a chance to ride.ā€
The womanā€™s grumbling was akin to a teenager, not someone twice as old, but Tank took it in stride, letting out another chuckle as he lead his sister toward the clubhouse. The lounge opened up to a gameroom with a bar to the side, and a set of large double doors closing anyone who didnā€™t belong to the club out of church. In it sat the redwood table that the Sons of this charter sat at for votes and important meetings. His sister would never see the inside of that room, no matter how much she wished she could. It was a big part of their old manā€™s life, having been one of the first Nine before moving to Tacoma to start off the Washington charter.
He felt his sister stop next to him, her body rigid and full of tension. He held back the need to hold her, knowing that it would only make things worse. They havenā€™t been to Charming before, or if they have, they were too young for her to remember anybody, so it confused Tank as he watched her reaction. When he followed her gaze he instantly new why, and cursed himself for not asking who it was.
Standing at the bar, a shot in his hand, stood his brother in club as well as charter. Baggy jeans rested on his hips, his knife holstered where it should be, and a gun on the other side. He wore a grey reaper crew t-shirt under his kutte, with his patches sewn in place with care in spite of their dirty state. Around his bald head coiled an inked Snake, one that sheā€™d done herself, giving him two pairs of dark eyes to look at her.
They both stood unmoving, the mostly empty room becoming tense. To anyone observing they looked relaxed enough, but Tank knew them both far too well to let it stay how it stood. Moving his hand to clear his throat, he was saved by Siren bursting through the door with Clay in tow. How the small girl knew who to find, heā€™d never know, though his guess was that she fluttered her eyelashes at the prospect who was close behind them. Pointing to Tank, she smiled and whispered something to Clay before breaking into a skip and stealing the SAMTAC memberā€™s shot.
ā€œHeya TK,ā€ She greeted, downing the shot with a grin. ā€œHowā€™s Cali treatinā€™ ya?ā€
And just like that, whatever hold they had on each other broke. Vixenā€™s body relaxed a fraction of an inch, and moved to introduce herself to the Prospect (Half-Sack he heard him introduce himself as) and Clay. Tank let out a sigh, moving to his brother, and wrapping an arm around his surrogate sister thankfully. As he reached them, they were in relaxed conversation.
ā€œThat was the last of the good stuff, Kid.ā€ There was a frown stretched across his features before he turned to Tank. ā€œā€˜Sup Killa?ā€
Tank clasped arms with Happy Lowman, giving his brother a friendly pat against the back. ā€œWishinā€™ Iā€™d asked Koz who they sent down here before agreeing to this. Would have brought different company.ā€ It wasnā€™t quite an apology, he didnā€™t need to give one, but he hated to see his two families collide like this. ā€œOr given out proper warnings.ā€
ā€œCanā€™t avoid each other forever.ā€ Hap shrugged. ā€œHavenā€™t really talked since the patch over.ā€
ā€œThatā€™s because youā€™ve been more Nomad than SAMTAC.ā€ Siren said. A fresh bottle of tequila in her hand. ā€œFound more of what you call the good stuff for ya, Hap.ā€
ā€œWhose side you on, Reddy? Cuz honestly I just got mixed signals.ā€ Tank joked, accepting a shot glass from the petite woman.
ā€œSheā€™s on the side of whoever helps her at the time.ā€ Hap smirked, taking the bottle from her and pouring drinks. ā€œOr sheā€™s jusā€™ good at the whole neutral thing.ā€
ā€œTo quote something Vix taught meā€¦ā€ the girl said, looking to her friend for a second her eyes the only indicator of her worry. ā€œĀæPorque no los dos?ā€ (Why not Both?)
ā€œYeah, yeahā€ The boys laughed her smug comment away, before Hap ruffled her hair and they followed Clay into Chapel. The doors closed behind them, and Siren moved towards her friend.
ā€œYou good? I know I made a joke about it, but I honestly didnā€™t know he was here.ā€ She bit her lip, and looked into the amber and olive tones that swirled dangerously in Vixā€™s eyes. ā€œJudging by the conversation I just heard, I know that Tank wasnā€™t trying to pull one over on you either.ā€
Vix nodded slowly, blinking as she turned away from the closed doors and started to move outside. ā€œWell, itā€™s like you both said, Heā€™s been more nomad than anything, but we canā€™t avoid each other forever, can we?ā€
Siren paused for a second, simultaneously shocked and guilty that she had heard it. After recovering, she trotted after her, wishing that just this once her friend would open up and talk to her. ā€œIt doesnā€™t mean you have to be okay with it, or that this Club business has to force you into it.ā€
Vix laughed at that, opening the truck door and pulling her old kutte around her shoulders. She always took pride in the life, and dressed the part, something that earned her respect among the boys, and jealousy from all the sweetbutts. Sheā€™d pulled most of the club official things from it, the Daring Divas of Tacoma- hell as far as they knew even the Daughters of Chaos- no longer existing. She kept her charter patch on though, as well as her Daughters of Discord one that proudly marked her as a woman whoā€™s killed for her club before. The back no longer bore the rockers, but instead was a collage of biking and other patches, the two on her left breast the only thing that showed her old loyalties. One the right there was an embroidered fox thatā€™s tale wound around her biking name.
All the other girls would see it as her asserting dominance, or pretending to be someone who was more than just a hang around, but Siren new better; This was Cynthia Tiradoā€™s armor just as much as it was a second skin. The other girl pulled her hair out from under the collar and walked up to her friend, pulling a pack of smokes out and a lighter.
ā€œCare for a Cig?ā€ She offered, nodding her head towards the picnic table that sat outside the clubhouse doors. ā€œI know I could use one after that drive.ā€
ā€œSomehow, I doubt your sudden craving of the Nicc is just from that ride.ā€ The paler girl mused, following in her footsteps anyway.ā€
ā€œIt would just be the ride if you and Tank would stop poking the bear.ā€
Vixen spoke plainly, wrapping her lips around her cigarette, taking a long and heavy drag from it the second it was lit. She sighed out the smoke, stepping onto the bench and sitting at the table. She offered Siren the box and lighter, knowing that sheā€™d take one. The brunette wasnā€™t much of a tobacco smoker, but she always kept a box around for social situations or ones like this where she didnā€™t have a joint on her. The two sat in silence, Siren clearly wanting an elaboration on the comment, and Vix tried to figure out what that was. Relying on the calming qualities of the cancerous stick, she blew the most recent dragā€™s smoke to the side, turning to face her friend.
ā€œHap and I are fine; have been for years now.ā€
ā€œOh, yeah.ā€ Ren droned, puffing out a smoke with a look stating she didnā€™t believe her. ā€œSure is easy to say that when youā€™ve both spend the past five years apart. Him going Nomad right after it all and you throwing yourselves into prospecting into the daughters. And the two of you doing your tattooing shit, and random hookups with people you both pretend are the other.ā€
The final thing was said with a knowing smirk, making Vixen groan out. She wasnā€™t one to openly talk about things, let alone her complicated past with the Tacoma Killer, but Siren was too goddamn observant for her own good. She took a few puffs before stamping out the quickly killed cigarette in the ashtray next to her hip. Vix talked about very few things, but the Happy case was a thick file tucked in a small cabinet along with her daddy issues and emotional detachment. They were red tapped as confidential until a yet to be determined date.
ā€œWe all have have our coping methods.ā€ She said, feeling her skin prickle around her shoulders uncomfortably.
ā€œDoesnā€™t always make them good or effective.ā€ Siren stamped her own cig out, a small frown pulling at her delicate features. ā€œListen, Cyn all joking and banter aside you know you can always-ā€
ā€œTalk to you about my deep seeded issues and relationship related trauma,ā€ Vix finished for her, having heard the speech too many times. ā€œI know, Ren. I just canā€™t.ā€
ā€œYou say that, do you really-ā€
ā€œEnough Ren.ā€
This time the comment was snapped, ending the train of conversation. She ficked her lighter on, dancing her fingers back and forth across the flame. She waited out the various faces her friend made, and the stammered attempts to restart the conversation, her face devoid of motion as she took in her surroundings. The lot at this point was mostly empty; two or three non club bikers and the prospect working in the garage and more than the people theyā€™d seen worth of bikes lined up in a row. Vix wanted hers out of the back of the truck along with whatever the hell her brother was delivering to the mother charter.
Her eyebrows perked up as a Caddy rolled in and an older looking woman jump out before the vehicle had fully stopped. The men came out, including the owners of the rest of the bikes, meeting her halfway. The conversation was hushed and quick, but there was an urgency in all of their forms. Tank turned to the girls at the table, muttering something to a blonde with a clasp of the shoulder. As the group disbanded, the older Tirado made his way toward them, his face taking on the more dangerous look of something serious happening around him. Vix stood up to meet him halfway, tucking her things into her kutte and her hands into her back pocket.
ā€œThat looked more important than an emergency car repair.ā€ She stated watching the woman and the blonde take off. ā€œThose the rest of Morrowā€™s family?ā€
ā€œJax never took Clayā€™s name, and Gemma tacked it on to the Teller, but yes on both accounts.ā€ He jerked his thumb to the warehouse. ā€œYou and Melly hang out here for a bit. I gotta take the cargo straight to the customers, and then meet up with Jax at St. Thomas if he needs anything. Gonna be a longer stay than I thought.ā€
ā€œOh good thing I packed my saddle bags then.ā€ She nodded. ā€œYou better take care of my goddamn bike. Iā€™ll behave up here as that mandate is followed.ā€
ā€œWouldnā€™t have it any other way, Sis.ā€ He smirked, dropping a kiss to her temple before hugging Siren. He muttered the next into her hair, but Vix still heard it. ā€œMake sure she doesnā€™t cause trouble, yeah? Fuckinā€™ trip is gonna be long enough without her making things worse.ā€
ā€œCourse.ā€ She chirped, earning a glare from the other woman. ā€œIā€™ll even make sure she doesnā€™t hussle the people here too hard.ā€
ā€œGreat, first Iā€™m places under club arrest by my brother, and now getting all possible fun ripped away by my sister.ā€ She spun on her heel with a frown, marching off towards the club house door. ā€œGuess Iā€™ll just drink myself into a coma or something equally as boring.ā€
ā€œLove you Vix!ā€ Tank called out, laughter clearly in his voice.
ā€œFuck you too, Tank.ā€

DaveKat - Do I know you?
Hey yā€™all itā€™s been a hot second, trying to get back into writing for my pirates? fic and this is one of my favorite niche tropes, itā€™s just a lil oneshot for now but I might expand on it later if itā€™s something youā€™d want to see? Just testing the waters iGuess, any and all feedback much appreciated!!!!
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
You were in the YA romance section.
Well.
Technically it said ā€˜teen romanceā€™, but you, Karkat Vantas, nearly ten sweeps old (or approximately 21 human years) and verifiably a young adult preferred to address it as such, if only in your head.
Besides, the only other person or troll in the bookshop that you could see was Kanaya, and she was sweating just as much as you looking for a trashy lesbian vampire novel.
The bell above the door rang and another group of college-age kids walked in. You didnā€™t recognize them. You still didnā€™t want them seeing you perusing teen books with a laser focus, so you shifted behind the stacks just slightly and examined the group as they noisily entered. Laughing raucously. Fucking idiots.
You came here to get away from all the noise, you couldnā€™t help feeling a little bitter that you and Kanaya werenā€™t the only ones who sought the fortitude of an old bookshop, the three humans who had walked in and now split their own ways didnā€™t even look like they belonged here. More like on the cover of some fashion magazine, Karkat couldnā€™t help but follow them with his eyes. Was it his imagination or were they...glowing?
He shook his head. Just another group of human jerks, probably. One of the girls, one with short black hair and cherry red glasses made a beeline to the recipe books, much to the apparent entertainment of the other two, as they shared a meaningful look.
The other girl turned back fondly and spared her cooking companion a fond look before she ambled off through to look at old cassettes and records. Her very pink skirt matched the very pink clips scattered haphazardly through wild, blonde hair, and she danced through the aisles to music it seemed only she could hear.
The remaining human was a guy about Karkatā€™s own age, messy blond hair that, unlike his companion, looked intentionally so, and darkly reflective shades perched on a strangely delicate nose, headed straight for him.
What?
No. He was headed for the comics a few stacks short. Karkat let out a breath he didnā€™t know heā€™d been holding. He turned around to look at Kanaya, she had picked up some trashy vamp novella and was perched in an overstuffed armchair in the far corner of the shop. Definitely wouldnā€™t be moving for a while. Karkat absentmindedly selected a book without looking at it and pretended to skim the book sleeve as he peeked through the shelves to see what shades coolkid was looking at.
Shades gingerly plucked an exceptionally old comic from the rack and something strange passed over his face. Nostalgia? Humor? Bitterness? Impossible to tell. The cover was tacky, some old, super famous comic Karkat had heard of but never bothered reading. The background was black, almost like space, but it was shattered like a prism, rainbow cracks in space and time. What was it called? Karkat wracked his brain. Homesafe? Homestruck? Homestuck. Based on mythology and the ways of the Old Church, it was supposedly a classic, although some particularly nasty New Church members had tried to get it banned in schools a few years back. They said it was nothing but, ā€œlies and sacrilegious content, meant to rot kidsā€™ brains outā€.
Religion had never been Karkatā€™s thing.
Shades held up the comic to show the girl in the music section. He waved it tauntingly and she rolled her eyes in return. He set it back down and continued to search through the old comic books aimlessly.
Was he being creepy? Karkat definitely felt like he was being creepy. It was something about the asshole, he was too well dressed, but still somehow managed to look sloppy. If Karkat looked sloppy it was because he couldnā€™t afford to look any better. This fuckface was in a long black coat, darkwash jeans, clean red converse, and a red sweater over an untucked black button-up. And he had a long red scarf. Stupid asshole. Stupidly tall. Stupidly attractive. Stupid-
ā€œKarkat? Are you almost done?ā€ Kanaya materialized behind him with a respectable stack of books in her arms. ā€œWould you like me to wait for you before I check out?ā€
ā€œUm,ā€ Karkat recovered from having had to resist the urge to leap back fifty feet. ā€œNo, yes. No. Um. I havenā€™t...ā€
He looked helplessly down at the meager pile of books heā€™d collected. He felt no particular attachment to any of them, or if he had when heā€™d pulled them he had forgotten his intrigue almost immediately.
Kanaya smiled patiently. ā€œI will see you tomorrow for coffee as planned, yes?ā€
ā€œYes,ā€ Karkat nodded emphatically. ā€œAbsolutely. Fucking yes. That.ā€
Kanaya hid a smirk as he turned to walk away before pausing. ā€œOh, by the way,ā€
ā€œHm?ā€ Karkat responded distractedly as he stole a glance back toward the comic section. Shades was gone.
ā€œGet his number, will you dear?ā€
Kanaya laughed and winked as Karkat fought to avoid turning bright red. Fucking figures.
Karkat sighed and looked at the pile of books at his feet. He slowly began to put them back, peering through the shelves as inconspicuously as he could. He couldnā€™t explain why he was so fascinated by this guy, this dumb human boy. It was more than that he seemed attractive, more than that he looked like the usual asshole Karkat liked to get his heart broken by, he seemed familiar. Like out of a dream, or a drawing. Like-
Karkat really did leap back this time. He had peered through a crack in the books and a pair of darkly reflective glass frames met him eye for eye. Fuck.
There was a wild scrambling from the other side of the bookshelf, then the human appeared at the end of the aisle and stopped in his tracks. He was breathing heavily. Or he was holding his breath? Karkat couldnā€™t be sure, but his heart sped up of its own accord.
Something about this human boy who stood there, stance wide, long legs planted apart, firmly. One arm reached toward the shelf as if heā€™d used the edge to spin around about-face, the other limp, distant, at his side. Face passive.
ā€œDid she. Um.ā€ His voice was crackly, rough around the edges. As if he hadnā€™t used it in some time. Or as if he had been crying. ā€œDid she call you Karkat?ā€
Karkat blinked. ā€œYeah? What the fuck is it to you?ā€
Shades exhaled in an almost-laugh, breathy and disbelieving. He half turned around as if to say something to someone at his side, but upon realizing no one was there, spoke to himself.
ā€œAfter all these years,ā€ he muttered. ā€œFucking millennia. Like a bad joke.ā€
ā€œCan I fucking help you?ā€ Karkat said.
ā€œDo you like comics?ā€ Dave asked, taking a step closer. He pulled a shiny copy of a popular comic Karkat definitely recognized, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.
ā€œNot that fucking bullshit,ā€ Karkat made a face. ā€œIf you have anything thatā€™s actually good, then maybe.ā€
Shades didnā€™t seem particularly offended by this scathing review. Just continued toward Karkat, a small smile gracing his face. He got the sense that this was a barely contained emotion.
ā€œYou know, I really fuckinā€™ think I do,ā€ Shades lifted his namesake off his nose and pushed it to the top of his head, scraping any pale hair up and out of the way. He fixed Karkat with a pair of bright red eyes. Karkat, who was no expert on humans, was fairly certain that eyes were not supposed to come in that particular shade. After all, even as a troll, his own werenā€™t.
Shades looked off toward his friends and gave a nod in their direction. ā€œIā€™ll be seeing you around, Karkat.ā€
There was a sudden sound of ticking, gears turning, and then Karkat was alone in the shop.
Shades was gone, and so were his female friends. It was almost as if Karkatā€™s brain had missed something, skipped a step. They were there, they were gone, and his brain had blinked in the middle during the process where point A bridged to point C.
Karkat searched through every stack, as if maybe the three human strangers were all in on some elaborate prank and just really good at hiding, but it was useless. He ended up right back to where he started.
Only now, there was something on the ground where Shades had been standing. The old comic heā€™d been looking at earlier. Homestuck, volume I. And a note.
ā€œyo. its not perfect obviously because what really went down was a mad shitshow, and its missing some stuff. gotta simplify if you wanna spread the word i guess. anyways, this might fill in the spaces. or at least, i really, really fucking hope it does.
- dā€
Karkat looked around the shop, as if he might catch whoever was responsible. No such luck.
ā€œWhat the fuck?ā€ He whispered. He had a feeling it was going to be a long day.

Why are there so many fucking fancy ass cars parked in this mother? Fucking broke ass building parking lot. The APM Debbie's out 30 cars in his goddamn parking lot. Oh, so first of all, you were allowed to pass a police car. Second of all, no one has ever been pulled over by a Patty wagon. No offense, but what the fuck?
God damn it. That was energy. Holy shit. That's a lot for Monday morning. Hey everybody. What up? It's the no offense, but what the fuck podcast? I'm your host? Marvin Martinez. And as always my future ex-husband is with me a bunch of Agra. How are you doing? Until I got
Yeah. That's just, that's just what happens when you go to Japan, people just, it's just what everybody does. Speaking of perfect hair. Uh, Maki, Kaji, the godfather of Sodoku died at 69. He nailed it. 69. Oh shit. Yeah. He was good with numbers. He was good. He's like, I'm going to go out on a math joke. Oh yeah.
And you know what? The next one's pretty hard to get four twenties, pretty hard to reach. Even for like Japanese people. Cause you know like this. Yeah. Japanese, you wouldn't refer about your Japanese people. What are we doing here? Let's see. I gotta, I gotta Google up the Google. I get the joke about them.
Right? We used to be allies where you, are you going to teach the history? No, but Japan and in Japan. You guys bombed Japan because they were part of like our crew, basically. Like they were homeys with the Nazis. Yeah. Yeah. Also not read, they would do known thing, but you know, they were also homeless. They were like, what up respect, yo shit.
What do you respect the most about, uh, the Japanese? What do you it currently? I like historically. Oh, overall, just Metta overall. Hmm. I guess I do love, I dunno, respect, but I love that. Like people in Japan tend to be very, very, like, let's not, let's not be seen when they're on the outside. Right. They just like try to behave in a way that nobody looks at them.
But then once you get to the house, they have like the weirdest hobby. Yeah, I collect pickled eggs. I have a whole two apartment bedroom, two bedroom apartment, and like one bedroom. It's only two collecting pickles. Yeah,
I get it. I got stint. You know, who else has says they got soldier boy claimed to own a tare and a tar. He said, that's the how corporations work, dude. I sit in the subway in the morning and I'm about to read me this manga. That's all about weird team and girls that are formed it in 20, but look 12 sniffing each other's hands.
And I'm gonna just read that shit out in the open. That's what I. I did that. Uh, I did that D and D that's my that's my group. I started a girl band idol group of bards as like, you know what, I'm not, I'm going to, they're not going to play the backing music. They're going to actually know how to play instruments.
You know what I'm saying? Uh, let's see what else happened, Taliban? Uh, Taliban said women should stay home because soldiers aren't trained to respect them.
And, and the other women said fine, but, uh, you can't be subscribed to early fans anymore. So you do know that. I don't know, am I the only person on the planet who kind of looks at the Taliban and goes like, you know what good for you guys? Like, I know you're doing a horrible, I mean, it's going to be horrible for a lot of people, but good on you.
I don't know. You beat you beat America, dude, whatever. Like, you know, you guys just stuck to your shit. You're like, no, we want to miss treat our women. We will not have this weird women human rights, bullshit. We will stone the gays get out. You know what Taliban, I respect your Fortnite strategy. You stuck around and you, you, you went to the MPC that told you where the last storm circle was.
And you found that perfect Bush in the last spot. And you just waited in that Bush full shield, full health, just a fucking desert Eagle in your hand, just waiting for that last guy, crouched, you sat there for 35 fucking minutes in that Bush, and then Taliban, you came out of that Bush and you shot the last guy left.
When he, when he was like, there is no other earthly goddamn place this guy could be, why would any shitbag be hiding in a Bush? You come out of that Bush and shoot that guy in the face. Taliban. Good on you. I know, right? Like, holy shit. They took their time. They waited it out, but then they were like, you know what?
No, now the shit, I just read something about it tomorrow, today in the morning, I didn't actually pay attention. Well, I just saw like a headline that I already forgot, but I think now they own all of Ghana's Stan. Again, like they're in control of that. Ooh, getting this sweet, sweet drama. I like, Hey, this, ah, shit, shit.
I'm so pissed. Fuck you guys on there. Is that place ever going to not have war? Like, is that going to happen within like the next 50?
But it doesn't matter what they're fighting over. It's just sand. Yeah. More fun stuff. Leaders of the proud boys centers of five months in jail says, uh, he only got five months. Cause you promise to only burn American flags from now on, um, black lives matter flag. He was, he was charged for burning a black lives matter flag and having high capacity ammunition, route, uh, devices when asked why he needed so many bullets.
He said, my penis is really tiny and I want to look really cool. Is that what he says? And the store only gave out ammo in two sizes, mother issues and compensate for something. And they were fresh out of, I didn't kill my wife. So did he actually say. Ah, damn cause that was
like this guy rules, dude, and all this shit. But wait, one of the, that doesn't mean that this is true. This is true. What convicted? He stood up in the courtroom, pointed up the FBI and screamed. I learned it from me. He actually had a turns out. He had a long history of snitching for the FBI. Actually. He was actually a snitch.
Yeah. Okay. But like, hold on. So one of those isn't there, right? No, but wait a second, one more riff. I like, I like, I, I did research cause you showed me the German article. I was like, they were so tame about it. It was like two, it was like two paragraphs. I click on the Miami news top new times. And it's like a, it's like a five page, like origin story.
Like he's like a bro. And it's like, he's like all American Dan and they use like a good picture of him. It's hilarious. It's so it's the only article about this to where it's not him wearing a flak jacket, like ready to just like shoot anybody. Like, wait, actually anybody. I, I need to get this, this, this bothers me too much right now is burning a BLM flag, a crime
bullets. Cause like I get, if he doesn't, if he's not allowed to have those bullets, I fine. Burning a flag. Is, is that an issue because like I'll burn a flag today. Uh, they burned a bit, I think, I think burning black lives matter, like it was considered like a hate crime, but I don't think they could, I don't think the ground for that was actually like, I think they tried to get them for a hate crime on that.
I don't actually okay. Fucking Australia news. Thanks for not giving me that's where the German newspaper was tamed because they actually stay objective. They only reported the facts and none of the like, like anecdotal bullshit. So it only turned out to be two paragraphs it's like, yo, this white supremacist called Luis Herrera or whatever it is.
Yeah. Uh, douche bag, Mick douchey, dag bag pants has been sentenced to 155 days in prison by a quarter in Washington, confess a pro. He could fast to property damage and possession of weapons, weapon accessories in the proceedings. Uh, the remainder of the sentence under 85 days will be suspended for a three-year period.
He didn't bring his own flag. He just burned one. That was somewhere okay. That, that I get that there's no, there's no, there's a mention of a flag. That's the property damage and nothing else makes any sense. So I feel like if he burns somebody else's flag. Yeah. That's a problem. But if I buy a BLM flag and I want to burn it, I will.
God damn do. So that is within my rights.
You know what I mean? Yeah. I'll burn it. I'll I'll dance on top of it. I'll do it exactly. As Ms. Gatsby says
that was a perfect, my mouse died right. When I was trying to get to the truth. Let's see. Okay. Let's see what he does. Yeah. Uh, so he has to pay a thousand dollars fine and $345 compensation to the, to the church that had, uh, property damage. He was involved with the burning of a, of a banner. It wasn't a flag.
It was a banner that was stolen from the church by members of his group. So he's getting sued for property damage. It's not because it's a crime it's property damage, but the article is misleading in that way. Then the one that you read before was like, well, he's in jail for burning a black lives matter.
It's not that it was misleading. It's that they weren't directly like laying out. Like if the second paragraph what he's fucking is, you know, it didn't say anything about thousand dollars and all this bullshit. No, but it did say at that I was summarizing, I wasn't actually reading that article when I said that.
Oh, okay, cool. So you just insinuated that you asshole, he's proud to be a boy. No. The article was in Sydney, winning that they kept like they're doing this weird moral argument thing. And I was like, okay, fuck up and tell him what the fuck is happening. So he just admitted to it and yeah. Yeah, yeah. So he admitted to it in an interview with the Washington post and then they arrested him.
Cool. I'm good with that. Yeah. So it's bullets, by the way, you shouldn't burn black lives matter flags, but if it's your own thing, you can burn stuff that belongs to you. That's what you choose to do with your property. Do whatever the fuck you want. Like you can have, you can go buy a PlayStation five and burn it for like Tik TOK content.
I'm okay with that. That's all I'm trying to say here, not big enough. Tik TOK content soldier. Boy did actually literally claimed T O and Atari on his, uh, I think it was Instastory or tech dog or something. And, uh, he like showed his contract. Everyone's like, uh, you don't know how to fucking read. You just have a million dollar contract with a target, Haley about you owning it.
And then Atari, like, they literally were like, yeah, we have a CEO. Uh, we're a corporation. We have like a board of C like, go, like, that's not how companies work. I've had, he like ripped up the contract like a day later. And, uh, well actually it turns out Atari ripped up the contract after they found out soldier, boy has less than 4,000 people watching his IQ.
There are only, there are only 3,500 people watching his IgG live, where he was like, fuck you at tiring. Like, what's you, you obviously don't have as many fans as you think you do soldier boys. So then again, to be fair, I've only ever watched one single IgG life in my entire life. And it was like a rocket beans thing that were playing hide and seek.
And like everybody that was hiding, um, like had their Instagram feed on. So you could like watch them hiding and then you could on your computer watch, like the, the guy searching for them and shit. So that was fun. And I partook in for like five minutes and playing around with that. And then, yeah, I closed Instagram again.
Cause it's gay. Uh, speaking of gay, Joe, Biden's on the run again. Uh, Joe Biden, uh, apparently apologized to a lab after he made their mini brains go bald because, uh, he was, he was stunning, his white, white nuts. Uh, and, uh, so, and, and the rays from his nuts bounced off of a mirror and bounced into the lab, uh, 12 miles away.
So, uh, he was paying damages. Yeah. They're making many brains and labs and they're starting to see. Yeah. Apparently one of them saw race jumped in front of a train. Um, let's see,
one of them looked upon the United States and its state of affairs and it killed itself. That's beautiful. Uh, that is beautiful. One of 'em, one of them realized it didn't have a cumbersome Dick and murdered itself. Um, one of them woke up and felt like it was female. It shine at itself. One of them, uh, realized it's perpetuating the patriarchy and it's still Rogan.
Uh,
We're coming for you, baby boy, they made, they use a company made, they felt bad for Val Kilmer after his documentary. And they made a, a voice for him based on all of his, uh, you know, performances and stuff. All the speaking of documentaries, I watched some crazy thing on Netflix the other day called the push.
You ever heard of the push to be a poop joke? No, I sorta, it's not, although it is right there, but it's so was this like British mentalist guy and like in the intro, what he does is he has like some dude call into a coffee house and be like, hello, my name is Mr. Police officer. In high ranks of you, whatever.
He gives him like a fake title and fake name, but like he pretends to be a police officer on the phone and the coffee shop workers, like you hustle what up? He's like, oh, do you see a woman dressed like that? And that, and that we, we were told she walked in. He's like, yeah, well you see her having a baby.
That's not her baby. She abducts babies. Dah, dah, dah, dah. What we need you to do is like distract her pretended I'm a call you on your phone. Pretend like you got a call on the landline, get her to get the phone. And then you take the baby and you walk out the store so we can collect the baby. He's trying to see if he can make a person it's not an actual card and was trying to see if he can make the person commit a crime, but just like giving him certain excuses, like, well, I'm talking to the police on the phone.
Do you know that? For sure. You don't know that that's an actual cop. So just like by giving him like an, a story that he has no knowledge about whether or not it's true, he just goes with it because he doesn't, it seems so big that he doesn't want to go against it. So, so, but that was just the big, is it?
Mungus partsy dicks. You know what my boss has got a huge cock. Right. Cause he subscribed to them famous. Yeah. Yeah. Join our picture. Be early, get on the ground floor. Yeah. Well, you'll be the guys that like, look in two years, you want to be the guys where we interrupt the stream or whatever we're doing and go like, oh my God, yo it's Marco HD.
What up my board. Cause like you've been here since day one. So you know, you wait, should we live stream? This? Is that what you're saying? We should maybe start soon. We should get on Twitch to the just talking thing. Maybe. I don't know, maybe, but we'll take them off. It's all set up. It's all set up. Uh, you know, push thing.
What it was about at the end was it was trying to get a guy to commit a murder. Basically. They were trying to get a guy to kill a person. Yeah. Well, everything was acted out, but it was like this gala thing. And they just made him like, get deeper and deeper. Like within like 20 minutes, the guy was hiding a body,
hit a body. He's like, no, look, when the event is over, we'll call his wife. I swear to you. And he's like, oh, that seems fair.
He said, you dropped in front of you. You're not going to call an ambulance. It's not been five minutes. Well, he did yell at me twice. Like they made sure that the guy was kind of an asshole before and shit. And like, they just gave him all these excuses. But yeah, I'm not going to tell you how it ends, but like he's basically gonna, they want him to get to push that guy off of this, like the roof at the end of it all.
That's like the plan here, you know, incriminate himself to a point where he's like, this is the only way out I need to shove this guy. Dude. I don't know, man, if, if, cause like I always imagined myself and like, you know, if, if there's a game show or whatever, like how could I win here? And like in that one, if you, if you go through that at the end, do you like, what does that say about you?
You were willing to kill a guy. You know what I mean? Isn't that sort of like attempted murder because you did think that you were going to kill the guy. That's like the literal that's like intent to murder, I think is, I think it's like a separate crime actually.
That might be like, like if, if it wasn't for like, if they didn't sign that, uh, what's your McCall it, then it's all actors and shit. Yeah. So like, if it, if it was just him by himself, like that's like conspiracy to commit a murder and stuff like that. Yeah. My question is just like, does the fact that it's all actors remove the fact that he was w because, you know, they would, the actor, the actor was never in any danger, you know, by the time that he would have been put, there was never, I'm saying, if you're going to do a show like that or whatever, the, like, you, you have lawyers that make him sign an like, sign, some kind of agreement where it's like, it absolves you of all that kind of, because like you're controlling the situation.
But outside of that, if it, if he was just like, If it was just some dickhead that was like, cause like if it's just somebody manipulating someone into doing something that's, that's Charles Manson. That's why Charles Manson's in jail forever. Yeah. Because he like, you've manipulated people into doing something, but actually doing it himself.
But what I'm saying is do those contracts really absolve him from the fact that he was willing to put a murder, a person? Well, the guy in the documentary, I get that it's legally. So I'm just saying like, it doesn't really though he's absolved because they're all actives and he did that. But, but, but if he figured out, but if he like actually, so catch this, if he some, if somehow for some reason that stunt fell through and he ended up actually literally murdering them, then it's on the production company.
The production company would go to jail. And so like, so like, and so like he might get manslaughter, but he wouldn't get, like, he wouldn't get like homicide he'd get, like, he would get some, like, acting in a way that, that expand it. It's like, look up whatever the it'd be like coerced manslaughter or something, reckless behavior assumption like that, or, yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, we could, we could, uh, I don't know, call a lawyer, find a lawyer, learn Instagram. Let's ask a bunch of murder questions. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to ask a lot of questions about like, um, international waters for when we have our mansion. We can do what we, we can, uh, you can actually find a lawyer that does a free, a free zoom consultation.
Could we get just like Casa is ask him dumb questions. Like, what do I have to do to do a class action? Is it a class action lawsuit? If I want to Sue every, uh, manufacturer of led headlights and uh, backlights cause the lights on the back on the, the brake lights on the back of cop cars are absurdly bright for no reason at all.
Here's my question. If it's just me and Bontrager, and we let's say abductor person, but then we drive out into open waters. What are we legally allowed to do to set human? Just legally, not morally and just hypothetically obviously, but we get married. How long do we have to wait till we get divorced that we can be called ex how long do we have to stay together before it becomes funny.
Funny? Yeah. Like the window is either the shortest divorce. Right. So like within an hour or some shit, just to make it funny, if it's that short, it would just get a node. That's my thing. I think it would get a note. Sure. Yeah. But if it gets to, now we have to go through, we can't go through an actual divorce.
No, but if we get a note, that's what I'm saying. If we get into note, then you're not my area. Oh, you're going to, you're going to sign a prenup then. Cause I think I own more shit. Just signing prenups. We're both signing prenups. No, I wouldn't have a few toilet paper. Oh, I want, uh, at least half of that woodwork behind you, like, come on, I'll take like one of those doors with the weird man on it.
I'll take whatever is weird cars, man doors. That's the one half of the manga that you find back there. And I was not a half colorful, so I thought those were dildos that no that's like mangoes and books and stuff. And, uh, um, right. No, right here is the game of Thrones, but. And their racist, approximations guitar.
For some reason, I don't actually play a guitar, but like, it's here now. So whatever it looks here, you better start playing it. Dude. I'm going to earn enough to do when people come over so I can go like a damn do they do like a two for five to six seconds long thing. And I go like, guys, guys, come on, come on, come on.
I keep forgetting, go to the storage to get my guitars. Cause I have that game where like you can plug in a real guitar.
Use that a problem plugs, plugging things in China wants to restrict the online play of their teenagers, or I think everybody, I'm not sure if it might just be kids, but, uh, yeah. And, uh, and there's, there's a, there's a mass flooding at the borders of everywhere. That's not China, Chinese teenager. So I guess don't really like, they're trying to restrict your place.
So it's like three hours a week of online play and, uh, yeah, the Taliban promises that Chinese teenagers can play as long as they want, if they join us. So, yeah. Cool. They even get like 72 virgins if they do it, right? Yeah. Yeah. They get 72 versions, but yeah, all they have to do is just keep the room clean and promising not to tell mama they are.
Yeah, problem is they don't tell them the other, the 72 virgins, that's just at the Chinese. Compared to sticking in that room with him, basically slave camp. They're all Virgin Virgin. So I heard that you got like a little bit of a class for me, professor Bont, ERG, two more news stories. The, the drug liberation front, uh, was handing out clean heroin to stop overdoses on, uh, Canada's uh, drug overdose day.
That does sound like something Canada wouldn't do. Yeah, because I guess there was like a lot of fentanyl deaths. Don was conflating it saying it was more than COVID deaths. I was like, I don't know about all that. Yeah. She's not the person that I would run to for like factual numbers on things, but who knows?
I don't know. She talks to a lot of guys who knows things. Do you think that people that go to the beaver trap to get drunk and cheap fucking rum or whiskey or like smart people? Is it, was that called the beaver trap? I have no idea, but that was the most Canadian born name I could think of in like, you know, the time I had, Ooh, do you know how to speak French?

Let's see if the board says it. Survey says, Nope, I see it says another pair of sunglasses, but you'd like to guess again.

We actually actually called Google. We got these straight from Google. I'm kidding. Fuck. Fuck families. So we, uh, these are Ryan Reynolds, Google search results, top search results in the past week. Uh, what let's let's hear a guess about Ryan Raynaud's or things that he himself Googled. Yeah. Yeah. Ryan Reynolds.

Uh, festival. Uh, I still believe in having like a John wick room, but just for sex stories. So like a panic room that you deco with some nice led lights, which is full of sensors, man. Shit. Yeah. Like, so you like that game? I made. I think when I, I think when I say paid it up, a woman said family feud and I was like, yeah, I'll make it better.
She didn't know how to write for it. She left like, write the prompts for it. It's like, no, like, stop, like stop getting so hung up on like the new story. Now we have to like, be funny. You're allowed to like, put like gossipy. Yeah. Ryan Reynolds, shit in it. Like, why are we talking about Joe Biden? Um, he's the president like it's topical.
Like it's topical. These people are alive. He's funny. He's weird. I like him. So if you were to do a family feud show about the news, what would you, what would your topic be? We'll just survey topic B oh, COVID no questions. I want to see the world burn. A
Google question is COVID a hoax. And I say maybe. Okay, one last way. Is this the last news story at resident? Yeah. One last news story. Uh, I got here, uh, FTC is investigating McDonald's ice. Uh, the claims that McDonald's ice cream machines are always broken, uh, said all the ice cream machines, I'm always broken.
Like my marriage. Uh, I'm always broken like your marriage. I don't know. FTC side with, McDonald's saying the employees come it's just too sticky to reliably. Make an ice cream. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a problem in Germany to, yeah. Seth Rogen com has gotten stuff. It did get tweeted. Tweeted. If the ice cream machine is broken, what did I just eat?
God doing this again?
I'm right back in it. It's like I left Vietnam just to go back to Florida, but now I'm fighting like a private Alicia somewhere in the woods. Why is this happening? I should put Joe Biden and then I can put anybody in there. Oh,
Oh,
that's nice. All the Steelers happens to win after an, after an, the crazy turnaround at the end, some say they stole it.
I can't. In other news on your German website, Qubole under the tub, uh, under, uh, the Taliban women only expect bad things said women everywhere else. Um, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Tweeted. If women only expect bad things, what did I just eat?
Fucking Seth Rogan. I bet. Like, I bet he here's what happened with that whole James Franco thing, right? The, the James Franco thing, right. You know, the, the, he had this weird school of like hot chicks basically only that he would try to like, Hey, hot chicks, James Franco, like an acting horse or something.
And it was mainly like attractive ladies. And like, he would have like really sexual scenes with him. He was basically just gaslighting them all to fucking him. It was cool. Okay. But then like Seth now, Seth Rogan went like pretty hard to get, but Seth Rogan one's so hard against it after like being James Franco's boy for like forever that it just kind of feels like it was doing the same exact fucking thing.
But it's like, if you're, if you're actually my friend, here's how this is going to go down. I'm going to throw you under the bus and then I'm going to pay you 11. Hi, cool. He got money for this. And he was like, deuces wrote us a joint dude.
Amen. By the way, I was listening to an audio book of game of Thrones in German. And I hate how they say the names. They, they read them like antique Germans would. So like Janey, isn't just Jamie he's Hyman
who are say, who are you talking about to real generous, but who's generous. Let's say, don't know you mean to an era that sounds so unattractive, but they talked about the, the, by the way, he's called Drogo is so much less rapey in the book. Holy shit. Why did it make him so rapey in the movie, like in the TV show,
Well in the book, he like, they sit together naked for like an hour or something. They just sit there. He just undresses her and stuff, but like slowly and it's always with the more like stuff and go thing. And then like they just chill for an hour. Then he just starts like gently touching her overall. And she starts like getting excited.
It ends with him like picking her up and putting her on his lap. Right. And then going no, because like the only more he knows is no. So you've asked her like, no, and she like grabs his hand to put it to the place where she got wet and then said, yes. So like, it's very different than in a TV show where he just buckles her over.
She says, no, he throws a right back around and just like bounces into her. Like it's. Yeah. It's interesting. I now question, why the fuck they made it so raping the TV show because like, you know, he just goes, no.
The books open shit so much, but like, it's like, it's like, it's like they needed some, some reason for her to go crazy or something, but like they fall in love afterwards. So it's like, it's done. They could have just made it this way, the way that it was in the book, because like it has to do with her, like for the first time, because she was so afraid of everything and shit, before they go way more into that.
Like you can tell him the TV show that she's a skirt, skirt, little girl, Scarlet girl, but she's a skirt. You don't see why she's that scared as much because you don't hear her inner monologue and shit. So, I mean, I guess our parents were murdered. She was shipped over somewhere. Her brother keeps beating her up every day.
It makes sense that she's kind of a scared little chain. When you hear about Sansa, just live in the life.
Was awesome in the books even more so right before, you know, everything turned to shit.
Oh, what, what was, uh, like little flower, I mean, not little flower, a little finger stuff. Oh, in, in the show, I don't like it. The last season. What's different. What's different in the book. I'm not that far yet. I am still on the first one. I just got them this weekend, this weekend. I just started reading the books for real.
Okay. Cause I, like, I figured if I got bored in feast of crows or the one after it, I'm like curious for pepper. I have, I have all the audio books that they have out. Because I'm like, I'm like curious for some of the shit that's been theorized that didn't happen in the TV show, but like, that's been theories for like a long time.
So like, uh, I forget his name, but bran the kid that like goes cripple, uh, he like gets carried. He finds this other kid that comes with the sister and they like get him over to the, to the guy in the woods, you know, behind the wall that Oak, that third eye Raven or whatever his name is, Raven. He's a Raven with eyes when he dies.
I'm just going to call him, leave him with the 3i, Raven, the Raven with eyes. Exactly. Every rape and that's. That's awesome. I like it. So like the theory is that he eats the kid Brahm without knowing like they turned the kid. Cause he has like four senior abilities also lightly, but he's not like strong.
So like they make him into a paste that Brahm eats and then gets stronger with his like vision powers and shit. It's like a whole weird consultant, the conspiracy of the masters and all that shit. Oh, they, he ate one of the children or the forest or whatever. No, no, no, no. The there's like a kid that he goes, oh man, I can show you the F you saw the TV show that he ate the weird kid.
Well, he, didn't not knowingly eat the weird kid, but yeah, like the chill, cause he liked disappears within those caves. All of a sudden, not there's no mentioning of him anymore. It just happens. He just don't get mentioned anymore. All of a sudden. And then like brand has to hear this weird, weird wood paste or something, but like, like it tastes like blood.
He does, he describes the taste of blood as he's like eating. Okay. Well, yeah, but if he died, where's the corpse. Why does nobody talk about him anymore? Ever like even a sister, I guess we'll have to put that in the chat. We'll I mean, the, you know, the discouraged we'll look into the wow. Watch those episodes because those episodes were fucking weird.
Yeah. The, the episodes it's more based on the Joe. Jim was his name. Um, it's more based on the, on the, that's what I'm saying. I'll see what they, what they do in the episode. And then I'll see, I'll try to figure out where it is in the books because yeah, I was listening to you. I have like a video on YouTube that explains it.
I hope. Well, all right. How, what time are we at? What are we, what are we looking at here? Hi, I'm Chad. Yeah, on the recording. I mean, I forgot to record, press start on the we're good though. We talk to a lot of stuff, right? I bet you it's only 20 minutes long. We didn't do any improv games. Okay. So, oh, we, yeah, we can still do some, you pick a profession.
Wait, pause it first for one second, because I need to tinkle.
And then I said the duck flew across the restaurant. That was flawless. Let's do another one. Let's do another one. Uh, okay. So P pick a profession, um, lawyer. All right. So we're two lawyers and a lawyers office. And, uh, we're, we're just chilling in the break room, I guess. Yeah. How about that? Hey, how you doing?
Not too bad. Just hanging out much appointment today, but you got a lot on your plate. I wish I had a lot more on my plate. Right? Becky's ass Becky, look at her. She is bigly, but like, what's your favorite jiggle part of her though? Um, objection. I enjoy nothing. That just goes on hair.
Oh, thank you for the ugly dude.
Never have that conversation. I need to pick a less professionally. I, uh,
I actually, uh, she, uh, Becky. I, I donated my sperm to Becky. She's going to have my kid technically. Huh? How did that happen? Oh, she just asked, she just asked. She wanted to like, she's like, you know, I want to do like the insemination thing. Like we can do the fuck thing, but it's, you know, it's easier to just do the, the juices if like she, like, you can choose the thing and I'll do the insemination at the doctor so that my family feels like it's like, uh, you know, actual a semen donation, but we could just fuck on the side.
So I F we fucked and then I did the, I did the Jews in the cup. Okay. And did you sign, did you ever sign any contracts that legally forbid her from later on abusing you as the father? Oh, yeah, of course. Okay. Okay. Okay. She drew them up. They're actually pretty good. The papers were pretty fucking silent. I checked them out.
I actually ended up, I had added a line or two. She was trying to like catch me on a, on a tense in the third paragraph, second clause. You know how it is, but I fucking, you know what I mean? I added that extra comma. She thought she could fuck me over, dude. She taught, she could fuck me over. Get the fuck at a, this guy is Columbia educated.
You thought you could take them? Huh? Community college graduate. Or you do it. Isn't that like? Yeah. Wait, what are you asking if Columbia college is a community college one, right? No, no, no. I'm saying she's the club community college graduate. How dare she question? Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one.
Let me, it's like, okay. It's not like a top tier. It's not like, yeah, but it's okay. It's okay. People are like, oh, you went to Colombian. People say it like that. Okay, but not like, oh, you went to Columbia, but yeah, they're definitely not like, fuck Columbia. There's no. Is it hardwood? Uh, yeah, I guess if you're going to go like, yeah, you want to go Ivy?
Ivy? I think Columbia is a no, I was, I was so wasted. I don't even know what kind of school Columbia is. Honestly. It could have been like, uh, it could have been. Where were you? What college did you go to? Uh, I went to brown. Ooh. You know, college is bad, but it's just named after a collar. Well, in the garden of all fucking universities, only one I could get into, I can get into, I went to circle university.
We had, we had a big rivalry going with triangle. It was great. Yeah. Yeah. Did you have good parties of circle? Yeah. Yeah, but to be honest rectangle, they, they would just be crazy if they were the wild south. Fuck you. What'd you go circle. I was circled, dude. You did not fucking go to circle. Give me a real co give me a real college.
A piece of shit. I didn't go to college. Germany doesn't work that like university here is more for, for if you want to become a lawyer or shit like that. Yeah, you're a lawyer. No, no. I stopped doing that a year ago. I didn't pass the bar. I just scanned my way into here. What are you joking? Obviously, dude.
Come on.
I was going to have to report you to fucking, uh, Roger were there. Oh my God. Come on. You know me? I'm I'm the office prankster. I was literally pulling up the, uh, secretly report and employee for not going to college. Yeah. That's it's weird. That's the function on the app? How much does that happen in his office?
Well, we're lawyers. So a lot. You gotta, you gotta fuck your, your friends over when you can. It reminds me of that kid. Dr. Fi love. Dr. Love the, the 16 year old, just Dr. Love. It was just this like 16 year old who pretended to be a gynecologist.
He wanted to finger women. Huh? I wish I could have represented that kid. That's the dream man. Getting a teenager off. Speaking of getting a teenager off, what's your favorite case? To be honest right now, I like the Lieberman case. It's, it's just really favorite case that you've won. Oh, my favorite that I've won.
I guess I liked that. I liked that bad girls club case that I represented. That was the best girls club. Yeah. You know, the girls that, that Sue back girls club, because they were like, they were like, dude, you can't just throw us into a room and feed us with drugs and booze for like a week. And then like get angry at us when we fight.
That's like not how this shit works. And I like, I represented, you know, backgrounds, but obviously, so I made sure these bitches didn't get a single cent. It was awesome on what grounds? Well, they signed a contract and they didn't agree to civilized behavior. You know, they broke the car. She got them on breach of contract.
Yes, they're classic. Oh, so, you know, the judge was an old white male and these women were all minority. So I walked in there, I saw that and I was like, oh my God, classic Frederico, getting them on a fucking breach of contract. And you know, these girls use Slaby Federico. These girls are never going to be able to pay, but that does not matter.
I won the case and I get paid. You know what I mean? You gotta do your pro bono for the hot girls. I get it. Oh yeah. I'm going to pro bone. These girls. Yeah. Laura is our gross. Let's get back to where. Alright. Okay. So now, yeah, so you see how easy improv is. Let's do another one. Now you choose something, but choose a spot.
Um, spot a profession, like a job and, and event that happens. Actually, I, I pick the event that happens. Something's going to happen throughout that. It's going to happen with us, with the profession, hit us, hit us with the professional. Um, we are, uh, let's see, everyone says the same seven professions. Let's see.
Uh, we are,
were like, those were like those people who like, uh, like suck people. We suck the fat out of people. We're like suck the fat technicians. Okay. So we're just assistance to a guy in a like office. Okay, cool. Cool. Well, not the head honchos there. They're still a doctor, but we're the guys that just do the,
so like the plastic surgeon guy, he comes in and he marks up the body, like, this is the fat is the fat. And then so like, then we just cut the hole and suck it out. He's like, he like marks it out and we suck out the fat equals back in and he, and then he like adds the structure and stuff. We're we're, we're just the fat removers.
Okay. Okay, cool. What happens is a cockroach flies against the outside of a window. Improv works. It's an event. We're going to build it into it. Don't worry. And now give us the location. Yeah.
Where we're going to do a scene, an improv scene, uh, here at second city. Can I get a suggestion, but just so you know, there's going to be an event, an event happening. I am going to take a shit. Yeah, just being in the scene. That's fine. Probably works. Let's just do that. It's called. Yes. And why can't you just, you can't even, I can't.
Yes, Andy, because we have to fundamentally agree of the game here. Right? Remove improvising. You don't have it. Like you don't we'll do what you have a cockroach. You can be like, you can be like we're at an event, like could be like, and a cockroach. Like, what is that? I just wanted that to happen. But you, you could make, you could start the scene off by saying, Hey, look at them.
Agreeing with you. Let's move this over to you. You haven't, you haven't read this book. You haven't read this book over. Have you read any books down? I can't read. I never learned, I think I just know a lot of words that I memorize what they look like, but I don't know anything. Making books sounds. I'm going to book right back at you.
You better book. That's the sign of a big ass, but whatever fine, fine. We'll do, there's going to be an event. No, no more event. Let's just go with,
where are we? What are, where are we? We're fat suckers. Suckers. Yeah. Well, we're fat suckers. You choose the place. We just at the job at the job, we're just at the scene of the happening, you know, it just right. Maybe it's like we're maybe it's like the, like the person's like knocked out and we're sucking the fat.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We're double w we're double sucking it cause we want to get out early. Okay. Okay. God damn it. This way too much fat to sock on this piece of shit, huh? Yeah. You know, honestly, honestly, I think I've, I've like the second time I've seen her back this month. It's crazy, dude. Dr. Ā he's fucking he's he's so he's so, uh, he's he's, he's pretty good.
I don't know. He, it, the asses he makes, I wish he'd put a little like, like, like, like, like, you know, like a nice juicy ass should sit. It should be kind of like, like a peach or something. I feel like, but I feel like there should be a slight flatness. Like they use it, you know what I mean? Like, I want an ass that's you?
I know. Yeah. Oh yeah. You like broken you like, like broken women, you know, broken button creates perfection and you're just like, I want a little used to it. You know, I don't like a brand new car. A little bit. I like a little bit of a, like, this is where the ass sits on things. And, but it's still really jiggly.
I wouldn't really want to improve. It's really got the slab. You've always been the kid that starts enjoying his shoes two weeks after owning them. You know what I mean? You like walked in stuff. You like, you like your shoes walked in. That's just, that's just you. That's what that means. I like my shoes and walked in when stuff's like worn out.
Yeah. Yeah. You know, that's always been you. Yeah, I guess you're right. I wish I could finish this. I wish I wish I could hire someone. I'll do it two weeks. You'll do it. I'll I'll I'll the judges in every shoe. Uh, 11, maybe 11 and a half dude. Come on. I forget half an inch. You know how important that is?
Fred, Fred tried to practically buy Jillian my shoe. I was like, I hardly noticed like that it's dry. Like there's nothing on there. It's not like there's a gob. I felt like it was like little, it was like a little drop, like, you know, so I rent, uh, so back when I was in high school, basically. Yeah, that will be high school for you a second, doing a side rant while we're out the job, sheriff, I don't know what side right side right side of an improv scene is what you're tracking, but it's no, it's outside of the it's it's a real life.
It's a pocket dimension inside of it's a pocket dimension side rant inside of the improv scene. So you've pressed. So you've, you've pressed pause on our improv scene to do a side rant in another dimension, just so we can it watching this on a TV screen right now, full screen, like that scenery, right?
That's just sucking out the bitch. It would pause and it was out of the picture and reveal that there's two people watching this and now they talk. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, I had this best friend at the time Simon and he had a bigger brother, Nico. Now whenever ne he, Nico wouldn't hang out with us usually. But whenever he did, he, he had a weird thing about him where he had to like outdo us on everything.
So we would just fuck with him by doing stupid shit. And then he would try to do stupid or shit. Right. So like, I dunno, we went to like the, there was this weird playground thing that had like this really tall. Um, like what's it called lately? Something to climb on. There's like a tower and we, we jumped off like the, almost the highest possibility that like gave you.
So of course he went to the roof of it to jump off of it. Like he broke his leg, it was hilarious. Um, and he would always do dumb shit like that. Right. And one time we had this kid that we used to fuck with a little bit, way too much. Actually we believe this kid, but he had fun doing it. Like he, he would bully himself all the time.
So, and I liked it. Um, but his mom was a whore, like a massive for that was like, it was legit. She went to five different parent teacher evenings. With like five different baby daddies, like five different dudes that would just bang in her. It was retarded. Um, so one day we went there, we wanted to mess with him, like, you know, just fuck around, get him, let's go outside.
Let's also make him do dumb shit. But like, he didn't open the door. He wasn't reacting. If anything, we threw like little rocks at his window. Apparently he was asleep or he wasn't there. Who knows. So since we didn't get to fuck with him, Nico had the weird feeling that he needed to make this evening epic and do something crazy.
So he proceeded, like they had their shoes outside of the house. Like, like on the back door, we would just always go into the backyard. That's how you, you know, you're supposed to basically enter as, as friends, you just went through the back door and they had like a roof above it and shit, but it was outside and they had their shoes there and like a little terrorists, I guess, to sit down and shit.
So he just grabbed one of his shoes and just pooped in the street.
Draws the line just to be like, it was way too gross. And we all threw up just may 16 and shit and had drank a little, it was dumb. But then on Monday, the kid came to school with those shoes on. Now, I don't know if they were washed, I'm assuming at the very least stretched out. Like our alter Eagles are doing to that bitch.
But yeah, I'd get, I'd get some new doctors Shoals and I'd, I'd soak them in the bathtub for seven days. I just charging them. I touch them. I use the stick to put them on a fireplace where you have to keep them. Your parents are like, I'm not getting new shoes. How don't give shit. You give me new shoes.
Motherfucker is pooping. My shoes. Don't forget. I come from a family. That's like wealthy back in the day. We were like pretty. Decently wealthy. I'm saying he's poor, obviously. Yes. We're poop shoes. He wasn't before they had like a nice house and car and shit, his mom was making good money, which is probably why she was warring around because she was like, dude, I don't need no man to support me.
I can just get me something. Imagine this, imagine this improv scene inside of a side rant.
Uh, so, um, I'm the mother come to me with your poop shoes. Let me try to get into the character because I know him Mo oh, wait, wait. Just so you know, just so you know, our relationship. One time he came to school and his story was last night. My mom came into my room to yell at me and I just like pitched back at her.
Right. We just fought for a loop. And then she said, shut up you son of a bitch. Listen to me. So that's why we called him his mom a bitch too. Okay. So just so you know, he knew the character from the story. Come on, mom, mom, mom, mom, for my shoe. All right. Didn't know mom. There's little shit in my shoe. Yeah.
But like, what's the problem though? You don't know how to clean it. Mom, mom, mom, mom. I'm going to, is it your poop? Whose poop is the moms on my boom? Let me see poop. Is it that smell like the clean boy? First of all you're grounded for knowing whose poop it is. First of all, what, what do you, what, what do you want, what do you want?
Do you want tips on how to clean the poop out? Like figure it out please. Can I get, like, I don't know, boiler the paper, what are you a poop of? My shoe. Uh, geez, God, shut the fuck up. Why are you bothering to you? Such a, such a wimp. I'm trying to think of a clean poop out of a shoe, OxiClean, OxiClean, and shut the fuck up you.
How old are you? How fucking old are you? Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. How old are you? So we have some Oxyclean I guess you could use, don't put, don't use all of them use like five Clorox wipes. Shut the fuck. You know, what do I look like? Your made you pooped in your shoe. You're going to clean the poop out.
So here, go get the fuck you. I hate you. Throws poop shoe against wall runs away. It is legit. How that way, I guess you're going to school with no shoes.
You don't break the improv scene and say, what happens? How fucking dare you. I was still in that seat, bitch. You don't just leave you. Don't just jump back here. Get the fuck back here. You little snap. Fuck you, bitch. You thought you show up. You throw a poops through a poop, a shoe against my fucking house.

You got to take your poop shoes, fucking out the fucking side. I don't know why he brought you to get the carrot hit to the fucking house. Go fuck yourself.
It's an improv scene. You don't, you don't critique me. The character I'm playing. I'm the mom, you're the son critiquing the character. I brought this out TV that his mom was watching TV on just in the living room. He just poked it out and just took it into his room. Cause he was like, yo TV is better. And his mom was like, oh, okay, prophecy, it's called improv.
See, this is the first time his mom ever grew a fucking miracle just cause I know the kid and you know, just like I just instantly had a picture of him in my head. Just walking into school with no shoes on. Well, lucky you have those shoes. Then he just walked in barefoot. When day do you tell your school while you're walking?
Like in midway, like in a rainy day, like just. Yeah, fucking leaves everywhere. It's great. Actually, you're a, what's your shoe size? Where would I? My fucking pink tennis shoes. You dumb shit. Fucking take it. The shit to your shoes. It's just some sun. I rule it already, but improv scene of them suffer in front of my eye.
Um, and it was beautiful. That's the power of it. But also also the guy that once in Germany, I don't know what you do in the U S but in Germany, when you'd write a test and you get it back, you end that lesson, you go through it and she gives you basically the right, correct answers for everything that you have to write down.
So like he w he wrote all of the down, he was like, yo teacher, You forgot a page on my car, on my like, test, you didn't even correct. And pass it down to you're like, dude, are you really going to try to do this? And he was like, no, you got it. Look at it. It's all there. It's all correct. I just heard it. She's like, look, I'm going to give you one more chance to just quit this and go sit the fuck down.
Or it's going to have to be a thing. And he's like, no teacher come on. He would get whiny as fuck. And then I he's like, okay, look, you wrote this in like black pen. Right. But, but this page that you just brought to me, the entire test was written in black pen, but this patient's supposed to be in the middle.
All of a sudden is in blue ink and look at this and she just legitimately used her fingers, move, swipe over it. And it like, you know, smudged a little because it was fresh. She's like, are you dumb? You like playing with me? So yeah, it was, it was great. He just like, and he just stood there and started crying, left the room and yeah, didn't return that day.
He just came back the next day. Pretended like nothing happened. He was funny. All right. So yeah.
so would you use your discount to get anything? Honestly, yes. I want like some liposuction right on my leg, like right above my Dick, that area, make it a little bigger. You know what I mean? Just by like sucking out the fat from over there. Just gain like an extra inch. That'd be cool.
Why don't you just get your Dick bifurcated and then he can make both of your Dick's bigger. Oh no, I want that. I want my
trifurcated no, I don't need, I don't need a pitch deck.
Oh man. You
know, I kind of want a peace sign deck. Can you cut it in a piece? Spread like this? Yeah, no, like the actual sign that will be like, you know, circle a circle and a Pitchfork, you know, that peace sign. It actually stands for death. Hmm. Can you put cock rings around my penis and like arrange them to look like the Olympic.
Rings. I mean, you could put cock rings on your Dick to look like the Olympic rings. You don't need a plastic surgeon for that, but I want them permanent. I want they're like built into the bottom of it. Oh no. Your Dick will fall off. You have to take the cock rings off at some point. No, but I just want them to like work into my skin, like piercings.
Basically. There can be holes that I can take them out of for a short time and shit. Yeah. Like ribs for his pleasure. You want like Dick?
I know a guy who could do some body modifications. Yeah. He'll like, he'll like put a USB drive in your head.
No, not, not like Neuralink. It's like a, it's like an encrypted Bluetooth drive thing. And what does it do for you? Uh, you just store data on it. You can like Bluetooth that to people if you want. Oh second, like, oh, okay. That's stupid. It's pretty stupid because you have to like put a USB drive. It's like put a USB stick into it to like upload more stuff into it that looks done.

Holy shit. This bitch. Huge dude, dude, dude, we're almost off the arms. We have to go to the stomach dude. And then we have to do the ass and legs. This is going to be a while. There's a reason we both were doing this, but, but man, I need to get out of here early today. Yeah. What are you doing? I got a grinder Dade.

He plays soccer on the beach, according to his photos. Lucia. Yeah. He sent me like a Dick and an asshole picture within like the first conversation ever.
So yeah. Yeah. Like that was the first thing he wrote me. It was just pictures. And I replied with a soft penis than an erect penis and my own ass. So, so then he wrote a kissy face. I wrote a smiley with like heart eyes and then he sent like a clock and I just wrote tonight. Yeah. Now we, that, it's so simple when you're just fucking, you're not going to like go to get ice cream or something.
I mean, we might get some ice cream afterwards.

It'll be awhile.
All of it, but she's just going to eat it in a fucking sleep. Oh shit. You right. How about this? You up the, the, the dosage. So she's out and I'll order the pizza. There's not enough dosage on this planet. Even if we kill this bitch to make her not eat pizza, I'm looking at her. We've been at this for 27 hours.
We're barely done with the video. Yeah. Steve, by the way, should we get, take talks? No, right now that's crazy. We don't believe in China. No, we shouldn't get tic-tacs and that's fucking, I didn't. I'm like you already have one and you've already sent me the videos. I know I never did. And I will never do that.
He did it. I saw it. I'll do anything for love. You're like, look at it. I did it.
Uh, I, yeah, I guess this has been no offense, but what the fuck? Don't don't don't touch your children. Don't unless they, I mean, dude, I mean, touch your children, but just like appropriately, like high five, you kid. Oh, you can. High-five the newborns. Yeah. In the face, right? Like one of the cries about the public, you just go like, Hey baby.

So you're supposed to like put kids in a closet and like, not let them see any light and then like capita and then like have them only watch Kung Fu movies, like 24 hours a day. You're thinking of when you thinking of, when you go to the store and you leave them, locked in the car with all windows up watching a stupid movie.
So they're distracted and then it doesn't. Oh yeah, it makes sure that make sure the car's turned off and there's nowhere in Nevada abortion, the late term abortion, but Nevada abortion. I don't know why he just called it. She just called it a Levada abortion. Yeah. People are ruthless out there. Yeah, dude.
