HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT!

PRELIMINARY #280

Submission 315

Squishmallows suck. Easily the second-worst plushie brand (second only to Beanie Boos but that's less controversial afaik)

1- They're the Funko Pops of plushies, all just slight variations on the same bland cookie-cutter outline: an oval/blob/egg-shape with a dead-eyed smiley face. They don't actually resemble the animals/creatures they're based on much, only slapping on one or two heavily simplified features like flat fabric triangles for ears, onto the otherwise identical shape. The designs are cheap, lazy, uninspired, and corporate. I prefer my stuffed animals to actually look like animals, and have limbs, and a variety of body shapes.

2- They're overpriced, and deliberately encourage over-consumption, with thousands of "collect them all" varieties and "rare" ones and hype/trend cycle and all. And the scalpers/flippers... There was one called Jack the Black Cat that was "limited edition" (artificially scarce) because only 500 were ever produced, and even by Squishmallow standards it's boring af (solid black cat with white facial embroidery) but there have been MULTIPLE cases of collectors paying over ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1000) on ebay for a single stuffed animal that you could probably DIY a knockoff version with like $20 worth of materials. Madness.

3- Rebuttals to common arguments:

a- "But they're so soft!" Yes, but Squishmallow doesn't have a patent over the type of fabric. You can find plenty of other stuffed animals with it, it's called "mochi minky".

b- "But you can use them as pillows!" Okay, but in that case we're no longer discussing their merits *as plushies* in the same realm as Jellycat, Douglas, Aurora, Build-a-Bear, etc so it doesn't negate my point that Squishmallows are bad *plushies* even if they're good pillows. And hell, this is just me as an adult autistic person, I imagine the fact they don't have limbs makes it hard for children to actually *play* with them as is the original intent of stuffed animals existing.

To be honest, I thought this was the cereal Gumball and Darwin used to eat.

Anyway, propaganda is always encouraged!

And remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure!

CHISHIYA SHUNTARO BEING THAT DEADPAN KINDA CUTE WITH HIS KIDS

That's it, that's the request... Anyway. How are you? Did you drink water today? Hope everything is okay :3

Here's the request! I hope that you're going to like it. I'm also fine, and I adored writing this kind of situation of Chishiya. Let me know if I'm lacking something in this story!

~

The Most Beautiful Thing

It's been years since the traumatizing events passed. You don't want to remember it since it still affects you so much that it causes you terrible nightmares. But, you also don't want to forget it that much because if that tragedy didn't happen, you wouldn't be able to meet your husband, Chishiya Shuntarō.

You both had three little dovey kids. They are all lovely and playful, and you and your husband treat your kids like a treasure that others cannot find or obtain.

Ever since you both had kids, the nightmares of the borderland stopped. You would dream of your family instead of that scary event. You were glad it had already stopped because you don't know what to do anymore if it keeps showing up.

It's Saturday.

The day that your children are always excited to spend with their parents.

You and Chishiya talked about this before you had kids, that every Saturday, you will both spend your whole day with your children. It's a charming deal; you're happy that both of you made this deal.

You woke up and heard nothing but complete silence in the living room. You rushed to go in there, and to your surprise, you saw your kids hanging their mouths open while your husband, Chishiya, demonstrated how to make a DIY fan.

Oh, this man. You face-slapped yourself while laughing at yourself. You thought that something might bad happen to your kids.

You hid in the corner to watch them get along. Having kids was out of Chishiya's plan; you respected that, but it surprised you when he said he wanted to have his cute little clones of himself and a clone of yours, too.

Your kids were the most beautiful thing that happened for both of you. You first had your twins, and it's both boys. They both resemble their father's blonde hair. And the third one is a girl who resembles your looks.

You were thankful for everything because you survived that shit. You stayed with Chishiya, and now, you're both happily raising your kids together.

Chishiya saw you hiding and whispered something to your kids. You immediately hid again so you'll not get caught, but before hiding. Your family was already there trying to spook you.

"Boo!" your kids surprised you.

You acted like you got scared and carried the twins. While Chishiya brought your daughter, and then you all laughed in unison.

You never wanted this day to end.

You wished that this would happen to all of you every day for the rest of your lives. That there will be no problems anymore and no more traumatizing occurrences.

Can you imagine everyone in the suitcase getting together to prepare the Foundation Kids’ first Christmas 🥹🥹🥹

The gift exchanging and the cuteness would be the most wholesome thing! Little Santa hats for all! Honestly this became a long list of HCs and not all of them are related to Christmas. It'll be Crew member and Vertin interactions because it'd be a lot to do it both ways for every single character. My ears are open for anyone who wants to share their HCs!

Regulus (actually Apple) gives a Vertin a set of high quality paint brushes. She also gives her also a weird rotund plushy with this face

• _ •

This is the real one Regulus picked but she and Apple work as a pair. She says it's face reminded her of Vertin. Vertin will keep this new friend among her growing collection of oddities from her crew members. She keeps everything they give her, even if it's just a pretty marble.

Joshua gives her a DIY woodworking book and then brings up his bookshelf being broken (hidden agenda!) At first the others are like "wth?" but Vertin seems to love it. You know the little game pieces we see throughout the game to represent the characters? Vertin makes something similar with her new skill and they use them when developing strategies. Jessica and Sonetto like to help her paint them. Druvis gives her tips (since she's a wandmaker she has more experience). Also, Vertin does fix his shelf eventually and made a few adjustments so it won't break again.

I see Vertin as the type who can figure out those God awful assembly instructions with 70 different letters and numbers labeling everything. For tech stuff, Regulus and Joshua have them covered. They try not to ask X if they can help it because despite being a genuis he always adds an unnecessary feature. No I don't need my camera have a "brew coffee" function!

None of the "fix-it" people above can put together a proper meal though.

Madam Z is invited but couldn't make it (Constantine at it again). She sends Vertin a very elegant coat with a water proof enchantment to keep her both warm and dry. She she noticed Vertin's grown a bit taller and she'll most likely need a new coat.

Tooth Fairy also couldn't make it (helping Madam Z so she can get leave the office sooner and they can celebrate with wine). She sends Vertin a jar of candies and a finely crafted pocket knife. Why a pocket knife? No one knows for sure. Despite no one getting it at first, whenever they have a package they can't open, a freshly picked fruit from the garden, etc. they ask Vertin if she has her knife. Of course she does. She's Suitcase Dad lol. Tooth Fairy was predicting the future.

Sotheby will give her candies that are actually healing potions! It's one of her newest creations! They're more convenient than carrying potion bottles. There are a few...side effects but nothing too major. Vertin is extremely grateful for this and carries a few in her pocket at all times in case someone gets hurt. This usually ends up being herself (in combat) or Sotheby tripping and scraping her knees, palm, etc. She'll hesitate to take the candy herself (because what if someone else needs it later?), even when she's barely standing but heaven forbid one of her people gets a boo-boo or a bruise. It's frustrating as it is endearing.

Sonetto gives her a tin of her favorite brand of tea and a thermal blanket. Vertin's the type of person with a cooler body temperature. In winter, her hands are freezing! This worries Pupnetto even though the Foundation trains them to endure cold temperatures. However, most of the other members end up snuggling in the heated blanket, including Sonetto herself (she is slowly unlearning the Foundation's way of suffering pointlessly) but she will share it with Vertin when she does. Vertin doesn’t mind. Honestly, Sonetto is hot blooded (the opposite of her) so having her nearby makes it warmer anyway.

And Sonetto's always at her side. She doesn't worry about the cold.

Druvis gives Vertin a wand with her arcanum built into it. It's shaped like a pistol, similar to Schneider's but it's nonlethal. The "bullets" are infused with the slime from Druvis's thorns and can hinder enemy movements (inflict petrify status). This way she can "protect" Vertin even if they're apart. With more eyes on the Suitcase than ever, she believes Vertin needs to take extra precautions. Vertin takes very good care of the gun (though she's never had to use it in real combat yet) and when they do co-op missions with other departments it garners a lot of attention from the soldiers.

Druvis is not accepting requests at this time.

Blonney gives her an ugly Christmas sweater but her gag gift backfires when Vertin looks cute. Stupid yes, but cute. Also the fabric is very soft and Vertin seems very cozy inside.

Later, Blonney gives her the real gift. She was too shy to give it to her in front of the others but there's a hand written card thanking her everything she's done for her and Jessica. There's money in the card of course. Jen also gives her a little short story she wrote. Not a horror one, but a sweet one about a curious kitten going on misadventures and making friends. Vertin can immediately tell its based on the shenanigans she gets into with her crew members. Blonney doesn't stick around long (blushing too hard) but Vertin is moved by this. The crew members are represented by their Udimos!

Jessica gives Vertin a doll (think chibi) she made that looks like the Timekeeper and it has removable accessories. For Christmas, the chibi Vertin is wearing a Santa suit. Sometimes the doll goes missing from her shelf if she's gone for more than a day (work relates reasons). 98% of the time it's with Sonetto who crumbles like a guilty puppy if Vertin asks about its whereabouts. The separation anxiety is real. Vertin recognizes this and eventually says it looks happier in Sonetto's room. She asks Sonetto to please take good care of her (the doll). Vertin also makes more effort to "call" home or send a message with arcanum tech after this event.

She's not used to having people wait for her at home, but one day in the near future she will be.

guzma breeding kink???

you got it anon! afab! reader (and feminine parental terms (milf for example) and ofc breeding kink, mentions of pregnancy, very nsfw

miggt do this for some of the other boys?

guzma LOVES milfs (he's even bagged a few before you got together) so yeah... he is 110% up for doing a bit of diy and making his own ;)

lax about protection anyways, so you can literally blurt out mid-fuck that you want a baby and he'll just be like "no problem boo" before going FERAL

he LOVES to talk about how hot you are aa it is, so he will NOT stop talking about how fucking sexy you'll be when you're pregnant/ a mom. will be absolutely filthy about it too - grabbing your tits and telling you how nice and big they'll get for example

"gonna make me a daddy?" i'm dead

speaking of which, if you're up for it, he would definitely want you to call him daddy during it.

since he's so used to busting onto your stomach/ass, sometimes he just automatically does that without realising- leaving you qiite peeved

while he does want kids with you, it's definitely more of a kink than anything else. if you just wana indulge in the fantasy while staying on BC or something, he is definitely up for that

bonus:

y/n: guzma... i'm pregnant!

guzma: *facing the consequences of his actions* :o ! how'd that happen?!

HAPPY THIRTIETH MY SPOOKY LOVE !!!! i'm so so proud of you !!! and admire you so greatly!!!!! you inspire me so much and i hope to bring as much warmth and love to the world as you do!!!!!

for your birthday i'm going to go with 💖 and 🍬!!!! i was looking up dialogue prompts and found this post and the first one is PERFECT for gojo: ❛ i could keep you safe. they’re all afraid of me. ❜

ERI THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE ME CRY?!?

Your friendship your love and all the moments we’ve shared together have blessed the last year of my 20’s and to know i get to greet my 30’s with you in my life is such a gift thank you I LOVE YOU!!!

Now no more tears! Party games only!!! 🥺🥳

💖 let’s get you a Pedro boyfriend babe

I’m sorry but you and Marcus Pike are married in my mind LOL

That man is a pisces and you being a pisces too? Like I am the strongest believer in water/water relationships and I believe he would be your ultimate champion for LIFE! The way you and him would enjoy watching so many fun movies along with having cute art date evenings where you both just paint things together or even do cute DIY projects?? He just radiates this warmth that melts so easily with yours Eri I can see it so clear! You and him are patient, so fully loving while also not putting up with anyone’s shit and I can’t wait to say this whole again speech at y’all’s wedding reception heeheehee ☺️

🍬 Oh look! The piñata dropped a surprise!

…i shouldn’t be surprised you picked Gojo yet here I am still shocked you did LOL 🤡

Gojo + ‘I could keep you safe, they’re all afraid of me’

-

All the higher ups, those crusty elders, you know are displeased with you. You shouldn’t be afraid.

Yet, you are. You are still under the crushing pressure of jujutsu society, of your family, of your position. An acidic venom pools in your mouth as you steel your nerves.

You need to go inside the temple. But you body feels frozen, as if your true fears have taken over.

“Are you trying to do an impression of a tree? Cause I’d you are…You’re doing a pretty good job.”

Gojo’s voice comes out like a strike of lightning.

You want to screech at his sudden presence but the sight beside you closes your throat. You rarely see him in civilian clothes. The green jacket suits his shoulders well, adds so much color to his face. And without the blindfold, just wearing those sleek deep black sunglasses of his, he looks like just walked off a photo shoot and it’s not fair seeing someone this attractive.

“Shut up.” You glare back and he smiles wide.

“Still haven’t gone in huh?”

“Maybe I’m trying out this new curse technique I learned where I’m in two places at once.” You whip back.

He laughs. “Well if you master it let me know. I’d love to learn it myself.”

He’s awful. Too charming for his own good. But, he’s drawing your nerves away.

“Want me to go in with you?” Gojo offers. “I could keep you safe. They’re all afraid of me anyway.”

The thought, the prospect, makes your heart flutter something awful like a moth caught in a porch light.

You sigh. “No, I have to do this alone.”

Gojo boos lightly, but you know he understands too.

“Well then…guess I’ll just wait out here as back up. Just in case.” He says casually with a wink.

True to his word, after you leave the temple holding what little bit of your spirit you have left from the meeting, Gojo is right where you left him.

Eri I love you but also I am chasing you with a pitchfork

Hen Dos and Stag Dos: A Fun and Unforgettable Adventure

Heeeeey Guys

Alright, party people, gather 'round! Whether you’re the best man, maid of honor, or just a close friend who's been roped into planning, we're here to help you navigate the wild world of hen dos and stag dos. This guide is packed with cool, funny, and downright essential tips to ensure the bride or groom has an epic send-off into married life.

What’s a Hen Do Party and Stag Do Anyway?

First things first, for those living under a rock: a hen do (aka bachelorette party) is a pre-wedding bash thrown for the bride-to-be, while a stag do (aka bachelor party) is the groom’s big night (or weekend) out. Think of it as the ultimate celebration of singlehood before the big day.

Step 1: Know Your Crew

Before diving into planning, remember who you’re dealing with. Is the bride a wild child ready to dance until dawn, or is she more of a spa-day-with-champagne kind of gal? Is the groom dreaming of a wild adventure, or is he perfectly happy with a chill night at the pub? Knowing your audience is key to planning the perfect event.

Step 2: Set the Date girl

Don’t wait until the last minute to nail down a date. Give everyone ample time to clear their schedules. Pro tip: Avoid the night before the wedding unless you enjoy the idea of attending a wedding with a massive hangover.

For Hens:

City Break: Think glamorous nights out, shopping sprees, and fancy brunches.

Beach Getaway: Sun, sea, and cocktails. Need we say more?

Spa Weekend: Pure relaxation with massages, facials, and maybe a cheeky glass of Prosecco.

For Stags:

Adventure Trip: Paintballing, go-karting, or a day at the shooting range.

City Nightlife: Hit up the hottest bars, clubs, and maybe even a cheeky strip club.

Camping Weekend: Bonding over beers and a campfire.

Hen Do Ideas:

Dance Class: From salsa to burlesque, get those hips moving.

Wine Tasting: Classy and fun – plus, wine!

DIY Craft Night: Create cute keepsakes like custom T-shirts or personalized wine glasses.

Stag Do Ideas:

Brewery Tour: Beer lovers rejoice!

Sports Game: Grab tickets to a local game and cheer (or boo) your hearts out.

Extreme Sports: Skydiving, bungee jumping, or white-water rafting for the adrenaline junkies.

Step 5: Keep It Light and Fun

Remember, the goal is to celebrate and have fun. Avoid overly complicated plans that could stress everyone out. Flexibility is key – sometimes the best moments are the unplanned ones.

Hen dos and stag dos are all about celebrating the end of an era and the start of a new adventure. With the right mix of planning and spontaneity, you’re guaranteed to have a blast. So go forth, party planners, and make some legendary memories!

Remember: what happens on the hen do or stag do, stays on the hen do or stag do. Well, unless someone posts it on social media. Cheers to a night (or weekend) to remember! 🎉

[ifabrique]

Alas, Ruby and the niece (I don’t have a name for her yet. Any suggestions?) were not friends. Niece was leader of Sunnyvale‘s choir group, heard Shadyside HS was A) having their group bumped up to Ohio state show choir semifinals b/c technicalities & B) are putting on a production of West Side Story. Cue sneaking into Shadyside to scope out their competition & potentially throw rotten tomatoes b/c they’re Sunnyvale shits. 

Except there’s no booing or flinging of fruit b/c despite the low production values & handmade costumes & the Sheriff being an obvious pastiche of her Uncle Joe - the Shadysiders are good.

Really really good.

Good enough that the Niece is starting to get worried about her previous convictions of the finals and shiny first place trophy being in the bag.

And the biggest surprise is Ruby Lane, who everyone would think was playing Maria, the ingenue. Nope. Ruby’s strutting around the stage as Anita and absolutely killing it.

Here’s a dirty little secret: Niece, up until that moment, had been 100% sure she’d been straight b/c she has a very nice polite boyfriend, it’s the 1960s in America, in Sunnyvale, and she’s both a good girl & a Goode girl and there is no other way for her to be.

Our girl is deep in the closet, somewhat in denial, and really can’t cope.

Cue the temper tantrums and angst-ridden meltdown b/c she can’t say any of this out loud. Not to her Mom, not to her Dad, and definitely not to her Uncle Joe, bless him for trying.

Joseph Goode is very fond of his niece, thinking her a precursor for the daughter(s) he would be getting after Nick - except Will was born and what the hell, the family isn’t flourishing as well as he’d thought…

Anyway.

Joe just wants to see Niece happy. Since this Ruby Lane is clearly making his sister’s girl unhappy, and it’s time for a new Name (bit early, but Joseph has leeway), well.

Two birds, one stone.

He grounds his Niece for a month, b/c sneaking into Shadyside isn’t something done by Goode girls even if they’re aided and abetted by their boyfriends.

He’s not her Dad? All right then.

Niece’s Dad: You’re grounded.

Niece: *inarticulate screech of frustration*

Niece’s Boyfriend escapes Death-Via-Devil by a hair’s breadth. He’s from North Shadydale meaning he’s about 100 years and four generations removed from being an acceptable (Shadyside) target. He also almost turned Union County into a goddamn Superfund site by making a DIY nuclear reactor in his backyard with a bunch of old smoke detectors. (It would raise Shadyside’s property values, though…)

Joseph can’t stand this kid, less since he and Niece started dating, but contents himself with giving the little shit a Come-To-Jesus speech and the fact that Boyfriend is in his senior year, has the entire Ivy League plus MIT and Caltech offering him full ride scholarships, and by September he’ll be someone’s else mad genius problem.

Or the Soviets will kidnap him.

Whatever. Joe is done.

Scrawling down ideas for FS fic… Somehow I skipped ahead to 1964 where Will is a babe in arms. Mrs. Goode has her hands full with the baby, her sister-in-law needs a break, the SIL’s husband needs a drink, Nick’s a toddler, Kurt’s the same (& is eating crayons), and Sheriff Joseph Goode is somehow roped into helping parent the most perplexing creature in existence - a stroppy teenage girl. (He doesn’t remember his sister being this bad. Was she? Ugh.) Also, he can too ground his niece. So there.

And then he took it out on Ruby. Was she friends with his niece? But yes this messy family dynamic sounds about right. I pity Joseph's sister no wonder she turned out............. badly. No one in the family ever had a chance.

tell us abt ur island

i WILL…for anyone interested i do also have an animal crossing blog @risacrossing where i’ve been posting way more since the game dropped (arguably more than i’m posting on my main right now gkjdnh)

i got pears as my fruit which is tragic bc i wanted apples but i got the layout i wanted (where both rivers meet the sea at the front of the island) so u kno. u win some u lose some

my starting. whatever they’re called in this game. the villagers. i have dom and deirdre and i love them both dearly even if dom has been almost exclusively a bastard to me

he gave me medicine a few minutes ago for a wasp sting when i did not actually expect him to and that’s real gay solidarity. also of note the wasp that stung me was on the tarantula island. i shook a tree to get sticks bc my net broke and i got a wasp nest. i couldn’t do anything about it bc i did not have a net

ever since i went 2 a friend’s island and bought a very goth outfit (the one i’m wearing up there) from the able sisters, i keep coming across extremely goth items and now i’ve made it my goal 2 make my character very goth bc that is seemingly what the game wants me to do. there’s a skull wallpaper in my house right now that i later found out glows in the dark and it still makes me lose my mind

i’m not time traveling at all and i’m going in2 this mostly blind and it’s been so fun and also so so scary. i don’t kno any of the rules anymore. today i caught my first coelacanth at 11am and i was literally speechless bc i thought they were still only around at night. i haven’t been fishing during rainy days at all bc i thought u could only catch them at night. they are around all day as long as there’s rain. also i saw a thunderstorm in game for the first time 2day and everything turned yellow when the lightning struck and it was so pretty. which also reminds me my island seems to be very muggy and rainy extremely often (another friend had a nice 5-6pm sunset where the sky was very orange and hazy and meanwhile my sky at the same time was so dark that every building had its lights on)

this was more about my overall experience than my island and i’m sorry 4 that…it’s also extremely disorganized bc ugh my mind. i’m having fun tho i love the game and i can’t wait 2 get the able sisters on my island so i can finally buy more pants

hii jennie boo can i get tweek fingering hcs........ afab reader (im in love w him i wanna fuck him so bad)

i know exactly who sent this in there is no point in being anon at this point dude

ANYWAYS nsfw below the cut i luv tweek

his hands are so literally so shaky its like a diy vibe,,,, (/hj)

tweek usually subs most of the time, but whenever he does top you, he's definitely a big service dom so keep that in mind

usually he only fingers you during foreplay, but he would do it more often if you ever asked him to

like he literally lives for those long make-out sessions that lead into sex. a big stepping stone to get there is obviously fingering, so he's had a lot of practice placing his hands in the right positions to press against your clit in perfect time with his fingers

honestly? if you two arent kissing, he usually eats you out while fingering you. like he doesnt even think about it y'know?? he doesn't understand that fingering means just fingers,,,,

like for him its just completely normal to do both at the same time without even thinking twice about it, but i mean?? who could even complain???

he's always worried that he's doing something wrong, so he makes sure to watch your face carefully. that means he makes lots of eye contact the whole time his fingers are inside you

i also feel the need to add that he keeps his nails short and neat so that he doesnt pick at his skin, but it comes very handy in bed

(pun not intended)

Watching Kate because I love MEW. spoiler warning. long post warning. both will be under the cut.

-ok I like the flickering title cards

-guns on a wall.

-she’s got a Katniss braid

-my mom and I have both already theorized that the guy who is her boss or something poisoned her

-my mom thinks the orange drink he gave her is poison

-oh shoot she took the shot (pun intended)

-and she wants a normal life so we’re really hitting the tropes on the head here

-the anime projected on the side of the building is cool

-ok I knew she was gonna get poisoned but it’s still stressful

-obsessed with the shot of her jumping between buildings

-this car chase is very cg but I enjoyed it anyway

-oh her boss is called her handler

-why is this hospital so dark

-I love. her voice.

-those are some cute hospital pajamas

-interesting parallel that these people poisoned her to be free

-*bangs pills into powder with the bottom of a gun*

-good news! This now passes the bechdel test!

-green jacket very good

-why does her handler have so many rings and bracelets on?

-apparently diy-ing a silencer is possible. Possible by movie standards anyway.

-love her taking some of the food on the table

-mad respect for her fighting with her hair pulled back.

-this is just a bit past my threshold of how much gore I'm willing to put up with

-I'm bopping to the music in this

-uh oh it's the same girl she's gotta confront her mistakes

-this thing with the girl being her target's daughter is the EXACT same thing that happened in gunpowder milkshake

-she really just snatched this kid huh

-this movie looks like a comic book or a video game or something with the neon lighting

-this kid just refuses to be intimidated

-prediction: she'll get a boom boom lemon when she kills whoever poisoned her

-haircut time!

-they did the "tape a kid to a toilet" thing in bop too

-they definitely touched up her haircut between takes

-I love MEW but these fights are just too gruesome for me

-every movie ever did the "it's dark and there's a bunch of neon lights" but that's because it slaps

-"boo!"

-MEW rage screaming while she shot the guy? iconic.

-actually kind of enjoying the dynamic between kate and the girl

-this little girl's playing a fun new game called "dress up your assassin"

-"speak less. open your ears."

-this movie just looks for any reason to start playing music. someone tell the director that you can put music over a scene without having it playing for the characters

-"she loves knives!" --my dad

-jesus MEW's taking a beating

-fridge guns

-ok I don't think cellular tracking can show you where someone will be in the future.

-oh it's like a car gps tracking

-obsessed with the girl making finger guns while MEW shoots

-her handler definitely DEFINITELY was involved in poisoning her

-is it weird that I hope she dies? like in our current franchise-obsessed climate, it would be bold to kill her off after one film

-cute selfies with your friendly neighborhood assassin

-"you're gonna die" "yeah after I kill him"

-I totally called it that her handler was involved in her poisoning but the real plot twist was the japanese guy not being angry at her

-"Hi!" :) sent me

-ok so in assassin movies with male leads the assassin stuff is always their Dark Past, but when it's a woman lead they're always trying to break free of being of the life an it's usually a bland metaphor about being controlled by men?

-wasn't expecting THAT (kate getting shot)

-no ani don't get in the car with what's his face

-one. last. syringe.

-some writer actually wrote the line "polonium-204. fuck you."

-"i prefer self-interest. i trust it more." is not bad though

-so he's talking about all this with Ani in the room. like. does he still think she'll want to be on his side after hearing this stuff?

-boom boom lemon is here. the end of the film is nigh.

-my dad joked the boom boom lemon would be the antidote

-BADASS ENTRANCE

-(to the rhythm of "you never expect the spanish inquisition"): you never expect the yakuza war!

-I respect them for just letting kate look like shit. no long flowing hair or makeup or anything. just a totoro tank top and rage.

-I looked away and now two men are in a glass cube fighting with swords

-well that was over quick. good job.

-LOVE some slo-mo MEW

-would slo-mo MEW be called slo-MEW?

-and now he's monologuing. hey man please shut up I only care about MEW and Ani and possibly the yakuza leader she teamed up with

-I liked that they killed her off at the end. no franchise.

In conclusion: better than gunpowder milkshake by a quite a bit

Dir or DIY’s last post (for now) was reprinting a 1983 screed/zine/pamphlet.

To quote Die or DIY

“So,to bow-ie out gracefully, ere's a slightly marxist independent pamphlet ,printed in Glasgow around 1983,that kinda sums up the demise of music into a pointless sludge that any fucker can do, quiet nicely.Its not special no more Bobby Joe, thanks to the success of D.I.Y! Boo-Hoo-Hoo?But DIY was more than just doing it yerself wasn't it? Anyway,It's a jolly good read (the pamphlet),and largely correct. Like Artists, musicians are full of shite,and that's how we'd like them to stay,but they do need to be fucking told.“

Not my opinion personally. But not not my opinion. 

Anyway I can only put a few pages here on Tumblr. You can look at/download the whole thing here.

Sorting All Elite Wrestling I

I don't think anyone has done this, but I am going to sort professional wrestlers with the sorting hat chats system now. Why? Because I just watched two great shows back to back, and I really need to talk about it. Because the guys at work are philistines who don't follow AEW, and wouldn't know what to do with me in full-on fangirl mode anyway. Because I have a lot to say. Because I can.

Wrestling storylines are limited by their very nature, so I'm not gonna go through the pain of sorting primaries; there is simply too little to go on. Secondaries, however, are bright and shiny, simplified and blown up, and a big part of the pro wrestling magic both in and out of the ring.

Bryan Danielson: He has so much snake secondary trickster vibes, and I love it. He plays face with one opponent and heel with the next, he openly said he riled up Eddie Kingston on purpose to get the best version of him for their match, and I think he plays Hangman for the same purpose right now. He knows just what to say and do to everyone to get them going, and he doesn't care if the crowd cheers or boos him for it. In his matches, he does not change his style or his move set. But the energy is always different with him, perfectly tailored to his opponent and the story they're telling. And through it all, promos and matches alike, you always know what he wants because he has stated it in his very first promo: He is there to have amazing matches with the best opponents, and kick their heads in. And apparently, he doesn't care what he has to do to get there.

Eddie Kingston: Eddie wears his heart on his sleeve, and you always know what you get with him: raw, brutal honesty. He speaks from the heart, always, and you know he means every word. He is blunt, never changes himself for anyone, and it gets him in trouble more often than not. In the ring, he is crafty, he has a few tricks up his sleeve, but he always chooses the most direct attack possible. He is the most liony lion secondary I know, and it's awesome.

Hangman Adam Page: The story of Hangman Page in AEW is that of a badger who burns after the Elite kicks him out, and who slowly unburns when the Dark Order adopts him. It took two years and a whole lot of beer, but slowly the Dark Order helped our favorite millenial cowboy get his groove back on, get his confidence back, face Kenny Omega, and finally win the big one. Here's to you, Adam, and the best long-term storytelling I've seen since DIY!

Kenny Omega: I'm having trouble separating his AEW and New Japan runs and especially the New Japan quasi-documentaries from the character we actually see on screen. I got into New Japan because of him, and I watched every scrap of material I could get my fingers on about a hundred times. And he just feels like a planner bird to me, meticulous with every detail in his stories and promos and matches, and even his silly Halloween costumes. He has a few Actor Bird roles for his character, like Goofy Heel, The Cleaner, The Golden Lover, Sadface, The Cleaner 2.0: The Gritty Remix, etc., and he is better at some of them than others. In the ring, he can be completely over the top and anime-style comical, slightly over the top, or dead serious, but he is always precise.

I'm gonna leave it here for now, because I need to think about everyone else some more. If you have a favourite AEW wrestler you want me to sort, drop me an ask. And for everyone who is unfamiliar with the weird mesh-up of fiction and reality that is professional wrestling, I am talking about their wrestling personas here, not whoever they are in private.

Bryan Danielson: snake secondary

Eddie Kingston: lion secondary

Hangman Adam Page: unburning badger secondary

Kenny Omega: bird secondary
