#anyway people who go online and lie about animals for attention are my enemies

[tinolqa]

times may change but the constant in my life is my silent seething hostility towards accounts that post plush toys or models or art projects and caption them like they’re real animals and/or blatant photoshops of real animals in unnatural colors with some made-up species name and country of origin under the assumption the average layperson will believe whatever they say about a picture of a “cute animal”

and also misattributing various precocial bird chicks with black feathers as “baby crows” because the adults aren’t recognizable and charismatic enough and baby crows aren’t cute enough for the audience to want to see

...000. INTRODUCTION.

helloooo lovelies ! my name is evan (he/him), i’m twenty-two and from the gmt timezone ! i’m super excited for this to open because i’ve got so much muse right now. i’m down for any and all plots, seriously, i love plotting ! this is calvin, he’s an angry mess of a character, but he’s fun to play, so ! if you just wanna get to know the character, you can skip past the other sections and just focus on personality, i’ve also put some wanted connections in there too ! if you would like to plot, then either shoot me a message here or on discord (heterosexual? how vintage!#8600) or alternatively, like this post and i will message you !

caution: alcohol, drugs, mental health, death.

›› ✱ xavier serrano, cismale, he/him. you’ve met calvin marx, right? they’re around twenty-three and a twitch streamer. they’re all about thrift store clothing and the faint smell of cologne and cigarettes, hence why they’re known as the spitfire around town. everyone knows them to be pretty gregarious but i’ve heard they’re actually sort of volatile, too… don’t tell them i said that, okay?

...001. BRIEF HISTORY.

calvin grew up very underprivileged for the first 11 years of his life in brooklyn, ny.

his father died when he was 5 years old to a drug overdose, leading his mother became a single mother to him and his younger sister, essentially meaning that calvin had to grow up and be the ‘man of the house’ without having a choice.

because of her new single-mother status, calvins mother had to work 3 different jobs in order for the family to pay rent (a cleaner in mornings, a store assistant in the day and a bartender in the evenings), which meant she was rarely home and left calvin to raise both himself and younger sister.

from a very early age, it was apparent that calvin suffered from anger issues, dyslexia and adhd, constantly getting into fights at every opportunity, his complete inability to focus and never managing to make it through a week at school without a phone call home.

these issues remained untreated, due to his mother putting it down to the ‘boys will be boys’ ideology, and concluding that calvin was just an energetic one at that.

because of this, calvin fell into the wrong crowd pretty quickly and settled into his mindset that he was never going to achieve all that much anyway, because no matter how hard he tried, he could never score well on any test at school.

at the age of 9, calvins mother met, fell in love with and soon married a former client for whom she cleaned for.  calvins new step father was incredibly wealthy, due to being a successful franchisee and also being very largely into stock trading.

calvin, his sister and mother were all moved to his home in cherrybrooks, which calvin struggled to adjust to, as he missed his friends back north.

now having access to as much money as he want led him down an early path into experimenting with drugs and alcohol, which soon became a bad habit.

although he wanted to drop out of school, his new step-father would not allow it, which became a large source of conflict for the family over the course of the next few years.

failing to graduate high school at age eighteen, calvin couldn’t deal with living with his family any more and left the house to move into a small apartment, 30 minutes away, with a roommate (possibly a member of the clique).

calvins only real passions were for gaming and sport, and as he smoked and did way too many drugs to make it in any sporting profession, he turned his attention to twitch streaming. he began this pretty soon and built up a solid fanbase (which he wanted to call the marxists, but in calvins words, apparently some dead man already claimed that title).

...002. PERSONALITY.

calvin is a naturally angry person who can lose his cool and go from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds, he rarely gives off signs that he is getting angry until he boils over, so people tend to watch what they say around him.

calvin is self-serving, his feelings will always come before those around him. although he is getting better at managing this, if something will result in calvin gaining something at the expense of somebody else, he will most likely go ahead with it.

calvin is not well educated, so he doesn’t tend to enjoy arguing with words, as he can never seem to find the ones to correctly express how he feels. instead, calvin is much more likely to act physically when something has irritated him (whether this be on a person or inanimate object).

calvin is an awful liar, he cannot lie to save his life as his face always tends to show when he doesn’t agree with an idea/opion/thought that somebody says. because of this, he is very outspoken, and will just say what he’s thinking regardless of if it’s going to hurt somebodies feelings. he’d rather upset them with the truth, than get caught out for lying.

calvin is an extrovert and gains energy from being around people - the more people the better, because of this, he has become a major party animal and loves attending any and all parties that is going on, despite if he’s fond of the hosts or not.

calvin is a heavy user of drugs, alcohol & cigarettes. this is primarily down to his naturally addictive personality and constant need to feel like he’s happy, so that he doesn’t get sad again. there will rarely be a day where he will not  be intoxicated in some way and he will have a cigarette at least once an hour – and that’s on a good day.

calvin is very much into sports. although not a natural athlete, nor somebody interested in playing sports competitively, calvin loves watching any and all sports, and he likes to play them when he can. due to his smoking habit, he can’t play sports for too long, but will always give it a good go.

similarly to this, calvin is very much into gaming. calvin loves fast-paced games, because they manage to keep his attention despite him not having a very long attention span. most games that he plays are first person shooters, and he’s usually the guy on the mic screaming when a teammate fucks up during online play. a big appeal to him was that games were the only thing he could focus his mind on as a child.

calvin is very much a boys boy, he genuinely abides by the bible of ‘ bros before hoes ‘ because he’s stupid.

calvin hates movies but loves tv, he finds that watching moves involves sitting still for too long, but tv allows him to take more breaks and keeps his interest for longer. although. he’d probably trade both of them for a chance to leave the house.

...003. TRAITS.

[ G R E G A R I O U S ] (+) — a person fond of company; sociable.

[ I N T U I T I V E ] (+) — using or based on what one feels to be true even without conscious reasoning; instinctive.

[ F O R T H R I G H T ] (+) — direct and outspoken.

[ V O L A T I L E ] (-) — liable to change rapidly and unpredictably, especially for the worse.

[ V E N G E F U L ] (-) — not willing to forgive or excuse people’s faults or wrongdoings.

[ H E D O N I S T I C ] (-) — engaged in the pursuit of pleasure; sensually self-indulgent.

...004. WANTED CONNECTIONS.

CURRENT BEST FRIENDS — Possibly a boy squad? I live for a good boy squad. This person will have similar interests to Calvin, or be able to tolerate his volatile mood.

CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS — Someone with a similar upbringing from Brooklyn, most likely they grew apart when Calvin moved to Wilmington.

RIDE OR DIES — Although he primarily looks out for himself, I’m down to have Calvin have one person who he’s loyal to and will refuse to betray, we can come up with a fun reason for why he cares so much if you’re interested in this one.

HIS ROOMMATE — Somebody that moved with Calvin into his current apartment when he moved out at 18.

A GOOD INFLUENCE ON CALVIN — One of my favorite connections for Calvin to have is somebody who knows all of his flaws and attempts to help fix them. They’ll have to be patient, though, as Calvin doesn’t see himself for having any issues.

SOMEBODY HE IS A BAD INFLUENCE OF — On the opposite, I love when Calvin has somebody that he can introduce to bad things, corrupt easily and get a kick out of watching the commotion.

EXES ON BAD TERMS — Cheating on each other is usually an easy one to go with, but if you want, we can think of something more unique as to how it all fucked up and why they now hate each other.

EXES ON GOOD TERMS — Maybe they still occasionally fuck? There could still be an attraction there, but just no romantic chemistry. Alternatively, they tried it and both just couldn’t see it going anywhere.

EXES WITH LINGERING FEELINGS — There’s a ton of different reasons for why there’s still lingering feelings. The feelings could be one-sided or both ways.

EX FLINGS — Started as friends with benefits, one of them wanted more, the other didn’t, they decided to stop before someone got hurt.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS — No romantic intention, just a good way to kill time at 2 AM, or maybe it’s easy to know you have someone to go home to if you don’t find someone at a party.

FRIENDS FOR NECESSITY — This friend may not have that much in common with Calvin, they may not really get on in day to day life, but they are always there to get high, attend a party or do something dumb. an easy person to talk to when they’re both bored and wanna get out.

HIS YOUNGER SISTER — If anybody fancies a second character, I’m always down to have Calvins sister in the roleplay. They can either get along or not, we’ll just figure out the details.

EX FRIENDS — Used to be close but now aren’t, plenty of reasons as to why.

ENEMIES — Despise each other, seeing this person literally makes Calvins blood boil. Possibly sexual tension too if that would work, if not, they can just fight a lot.

WILL THEY / WON’T THEY — Lots of leading on and teasing each other, maybe they both think they’re stringing the other along but it turns out neither of them are interested? Maybe they start out not interested and it backfires later, by that time the other could’ve lost interest.

ANY OTHER IDEAS YOU THINK WILL WORK !

...005. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

Calvin is bisexual but heteroromantic, so any sexual-based connections can be taken by any gender.

Original Character Creation #1

Hello, I’m Hope!

I know this blog is technically for short stories and story prompts, but a good story always needs equally as good characters. Creating characters has always been my favorite thing about writing any story. My plan for this is to maybe make creating characters a little easier. 

Here are some questions to answer while creating your character/s

Physical/Appearance: 

Being able to visualize a character while reading always makes a story more interesting. Personally, clothing styles and mannerisms are what gets my attention while reading. 

How tall is your character? 

What color hair do they have?

How do they usually style their hair?

What’s their eye color?

Do they wear glasses?

What is their skin tone?

Do they wear make-up?

Birthmarks or tattoos?

Any physical handicaps?

What’s their clothing style?

Noticeable mannerisms?

Any noticeable disabilities? 

Personality:

I mean, even fictional people have a personality. Some things you could try is having their true self-begin showing throughout the story instead of it all being said in one area! You could have characters compare themselves to others to reveal things or do things along those lines. Your choice though!

Do they overuse any words or phrases?

Do they have a catchphrase? 

Optimist, pessimist, or realist?

Introvert or extrovert?

What are a few bad habits?

Are they clingy? Do they display affection?

Any mental handicaps?

How do they want to be seen as by others? 

How do they see themselves? Do they have low or high self-esteem?

How do others really see them?

Strongest character trait?

Weakest character trait?

Are they impulsive or do they think things through?

How do they react to praise and criticism?

Greatest fear?

Biggest secret?

Philosophy of life?

Does anything from their past haunt them?

What do they value most in a friend?

What would they change about themselves if they could?

What are some obsessions and pet peeves?

Family and Friends:

Relationships with other characters can easily make or break a story line. Try making families and friendships interesting! Make a relationship well known or leave the readers in the dark. As long as it works for you, why not go for it?

Who does their family consist of? Is it big or small?

What is their perception of their family? Is it good or bad?

Do they have siblings? Older or younger?

What’s their best friend/s like?

What’s their ideal best friend?

Describe their other friends.

Do they have acquaintances? Describe them. 

Any pets?

Natural allies?

Surprising allies?

Past and Future:

I love prolougues and epilougues! Having information about a characters past and present while knowing what happens in between is always interesting. You could also try including flashback scenes to tell someones past. Or, you could leave the readers wondering. 

How were they like as a baby and/or child?

Did they grow up rich or poor?

Were they nurtured or neglected?

Greatest achievement thus far?

What are/were their ambitions?

Best childhood memory?

Worst childhood memory?

When was the last time they were crushed with disappointment?

What past actions are they most ashamed of?

What past actions are they most proud of?

Strongest childhood memory?

Has anyone ever saved their life?

Love:

I’m a believer of ‘not all stories need a love scene.’ However, knowing where a character stands on the topic of love is always okay. I personally like leaving at least one charachter “open-ended.” I like seeing how readers see them, letting them decide their sexuality and views and such.

Do they believe in love at first sight?

Are they in a relationship?

How do they behave in a relationship?

Have they ever had their heart broken?

What’s their sexuality?

Conflict:

Most stories have conflict and one character will almost always deal with it in a different way than another. How does your ptotagonist deal with the antagonist? How about vice versa?

How do they respond to a threat?

Are they most likely to fight with their fists or their tongue?

What is your character’s kryptonite?

What are their phobias?

What is their choice of weapon?

Have they ever been bullied or teased?

Where do they go when they’re angry?

Who are their enemies and why?

Work, Education, Hobb

This is one of those catogories that you could skip and the reader would probably just assume exists. Intelligence and jobs can (most likely) be known by events in the story. 

What is their current job?

What are some of their past jobs?

What are their hobbies?

Educational background?

Intelligence level?

Do they have a natural talent for something?

Favorites:

This is just so the reader gets a better view of your character. Again, try spreading the information out throughout the story!

What is their favorite animal?

What place would they most like to visit?

What is their favorite song?

Music, art, reading preferred?

What is their favorite color?

Favorite food?

What is their favorite day of the week?

Values:

Is your character a good person? This is also a catagory you could skip, but I thought I’d include it anyway.

What do they think is the worst thing that can be done to a person?

When did they last lie?

When did they last make a promise?

Did they keep or break their last promise?

Daily:

More questions to know your character better! Skip if you’d like.

Do they have any allergies?

Are they minimalist or a clutter hoarder?

What do they do on a Sunday afternoon?

What do they do on a Friday night?

Miscellaneous:

What role does your character have in the story? What are they really like?

What is their character archetype? (Innocent, Orphan, Hero, Caregiver, Explorer, Rebel, Lover, Creator, Jester, Sage, Magician, Ruler)

Who is their hero?

If they could save one person, who would it be?

What is their greatest regret?

What is their favorite fairytale?

Do they believe in happy endings?

What is their idea of perfect happiness?

If they could have a superpower, what would they choose?

Okay, there's obviously a lot of questions here and you definitely don’t have to use all of them. Pick 2-4 of each category and you should have a pretty in-depth character! Don’t forget a name or identification and age for your character, but that’s a well-known fact already. 

A lot of these can be used in flashbacks or cool inserts like that, but hey, if you’re creating a character for fun, then you can make them as vague or in-depth as you’d like.

I’m in no way shape or form a “professional” or even know what I’m talking about. This is just personal opinion or things I’ve gathered from years of reading fictional stories both online and actual books, along with creating characters myself. 

Anyway, this was just a random thing that helps me that I decided to post. Maybe I’ll make more of these OC creation posts in the future.

See ya.

thirteen. what kind of student are you?

That one quiet, awkward kid who people think is smart af but is really a clueless, little shit making things up as she goes along. Procrastinating master. I will avoid doing essays until absolutely necessary, and even then, I will go on Tumblr or find something else to do. I study both too much and not enough.

fourteen. what are your favorite tv shows?

...Does anime/cartoons count because I have a long af list.... The only other shows I like that aren’t animated are The Walking Dead (I’m not caught up with Season 7, though), Criminal Minds, and Scorpion.

Recently, I just finished watching the first season of Boku no Hero Academia, Erased, and I’m currently watching Mob Psycho 100.

fifteen. favorite past time?

Writing, reading, listening to music, watching movies/anime/cartoons/Youtube videos (recently, I’ve been watching I Hate Everything. He’s so great. If you like sarcastic humor, you’ll like him. Basically, I need more people t talk to about him, so please watch his vids and talk to me about them), playing video games, and drawing.

sixteen. what is your dream job?

I’m trying to become an editor for fiction books, but I would be ecstatic if I could be a financially stable author one day, too.

Yeah.

eighteen. would you like kids one day?

Maybe? idk.

nineteen. girly girl or tomboy?

Tomboy af.

twenty. do you like shopping?

At cons, yeah, lol

twenty-one. what countries have you visited so far?

Just the Philippines. I would like to visit more someday.

twenty-two. what’s the scariest nightmare you’ve had?

I’ve had several zombie apocalypse dreams that were pretty freaky. I hate the idea of being in a zombie apocalypse situation, but I really like The Walking Dead??? idk man.

Anyway, one of the scariest dreams that I had was when I was 10. I was in my great aunt’s old house in the dream. For some reason, they were going somewhere, and they had left me alone in their house. Out of nowhere, it gets really dark and a bunch of long, dark hair starts spilling from cracks in the ceiling, and suddenly, that one ghost from the Grudge is in the house and is crawling after me, and I can’t get out of the house for some reason.

I remember waking up completely paralyzed with fear, and that dream still haunts me today.

twenty-three. do you have enemies?

My anxiety, lol “Enemies” is a pretty cheesy way to put it, but there are definitely people irl that I absolutely despise.

twenty-four. do you have a significant other?

Nope.

twenty-five. if not, do you want one? eventually?

Yeah, I think it’d be nice. I mean, it sounds nice.

twenty-six. are you open about your feelings?

Depends on the person I’m talking to, tbh. I can be kinda open about my feelings online, but I usually end up deleting posts that get to be too much.

twenty-seven. what’s your family like?

My mom and dad are pretty weird and funny (like we all have inside jokes with each other that are practically memes lmao). They can be kinda strict, and they have some “traditional” views I don’t agree with, so I don’t talk about those topics with them. Both my parents work in the Bay Area, my dad as a machinist, my mom as a nurse, so my sisters and I don’t see them home every day. In fact, we only see my dad on the weekends or holidays or random days he gets to come home early. They both tend to talk while we’re in the middle of doing something and they tend to repeat things they’ve already said on top of that, which can get irritating, especially if I’m trying to think.

My three younger sisters and I all like the same things, pretty much. I have two sisters still in high school (one of which is gonna graduate this year), and one in middle school. The sister born after me irritates me a lot, but we also can understand each other with a look. Like we exchange glances and just know. Because she’s taller than me, a lot of people assume she’s the older one, lol.

My younger sister after her can be kind of clueless about things, but she’s also very caring and passionate about the things she likes, which I admire ‘cause I was not even like that at fifteen, lol.

My youngest sister is a complete savage in that she has the most beautifully sarcastic quips for anything. It’s so funny that a freaking twelve year-old delivers all these great one-liners. I even ask her for comebacks in my fics when I need them ‘cause I’m not the best at comebacks. 

My grandma that lives with us doesn’t understand much English, and my sisters and I don’t speak any Tagalog or Ilocano, so there’s a really obvious language gap. It doesn’t help that she has hearing problems, either. But she helps around the house a lot and helps us when she can, which is nice. We’re not very close, though.

My uncle that recently came from the Philippines is much the same way as my grandma. He does know more English than her, though, and he likes to randomly burst out in song when he’s bored, which took some getting used to because no one else in my immediate family does that.

My pet bunny Chappy is an albino (we’re not sure what breed she is exactly since she was given to my dad by his coworker). She’s getting pretty chubby ‘cause we spoil her with fruit and food, and she’s both super lazy and super mischievous. When we try to get her to exercise, she’ll just lie down on our carpet instead, and when we’re not paying attention, she’ll try to hop upstairs and go to places she clearly knows she’s not supposed to go.

And she’ll look you dead in the eye when you yell “No!” and do it anyway, lmao. I love her so much. She’s the cutest thing in existence.

This pic is almost two years old, but look at her:

twenty-eight. would you date someone your family didn’t approve of?

It depends? If I like them enough and know what kind of person they really are, then maybe?

twenty-nine. any pet peeves?

I hate it when people touch me without permission, even with people I know. I know there are probably more because I get annoyed really easily, but I can’t think of any rn?

thirty. do you believe in astrology?

No, but it’s fun to look up my sign and see what results I get on stuff, lol.

Tagging (if you want to do this): @leviprime, @luna-of-legend, @tsunemorichan, @voiceactresskurutta, @belcherchild, @two-braiins, @penileqweef

[talietikasero]

I went in aware of the (possible) retcons and shit but I watched the whole thing anyway. It’s some ungodly hour way past when I should’ve slept and here’s what I thought. I’m trying to be fair here when I give GG Strive’s story a 6.8/10

Visuals: This game is beautiful. 12/10

Voice cast: I enjoyed the dub. Not as much of a corny anime dub like Sign was, but the returning cast improved from that game -- or at least I thought so. 8.75/10

Soundtrack: One word: Incredible. The duo of Naoki and Aisha on vocals for all character themes -- ok they're only a duet on Ramlethal's [Necessary Discrepancy] but you know what I meant -- was a perfect choice. My favorite themes from when I played the second open beta back in mid-May were Giovanna's [Trigger] and Potemkin's [Armor-Clad Faith], but Leo's [Hellfire] really grew on me the most. 15/10

Game itself: Arcade mode was a fun challenge because I’m an idiot who did all 15 but I got really tired of fighting Nago over and over again. I’m not that great so I’m not worrying about getting the “Messiah Will Not Come” trophy where you fight him but he’s got an infinite blood gauge. Survival gives a good chunk of the lifebar back without making it too easy -- and the “mysterious challenger” at stage 10 being a shadowy Sol with neon red was an okay way to signal a checkpoint. 9/10 I’m not doing online any time soon because I don’t have a wired connection but I hear it’s ass and the tower placement is a complete lie.

Anywho, now on to the real post:

For a finale, the story was... slightly below average. But I’ll be honest here, I kinda had high expectations because of the hype from the past two (?) years, five if you count the total time between Rev2 and Strive's release dates.

The last time I was this critical of a sequel’s story was the gap between Borderlands 2 and 3, which was seven years. I'm going off on a tangent here but I'll sum it up so if you're not familiar with Borderlands you'll have an idea of what I'm taking about. In Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel, the Watcher (Eridian? that saved Athena from execution after telling Lilith and company of her adventures on Elpis with Nisha, Wilhelm, Timothy, Aurelia, and Claptrap) warned "Now's not the time for bickering, Vault Hunters. War is coming, and you will need all the Vault Hunters you can get". BL3 rolls around and there was no big war. Instead, we got a poorly delivered dumpster fire of a main campaign that spanned five planets and the main villains were some bratty livestreamer Sirens that run a planet wide cult. Seriously? The cast was poorly handled there too but I'll stop here.

In the case of comparison to another fighting game’s story, the game that comes to mind is Tekken 7 because if they aren’t a Mishima or Kazama or someone else in that fucked up family that’s plot relevant, they were given a shitty one-fight episode. Sure Nina and Claudio were in the main story mode but that's the thing: they were just there. The returning (dlc) series veterans, such as Anna, Lei, Marduk, and all the way to Zafina plus the newcomers Leroy, Lidia, Fahkumram, and Kunimitsu II weren't given much aside from a brief story snippet. Dare I say it but SFV did their new seasons newcomers and returning fighters justice as they all got episodes of their own. You read that right. Street Fighter V was better to its cast than Tekken 7 and Guilty Gear -Strive-.

Unlike the Xrd games, watching the story does not get you any money. The only difference I saw right after was that the Strive correlation chart updated. For what it’s worth, they could’ve done something like DBFZ’s story clearance unlocking a new character, or do an alternate costume where the outfit Frederick wears in the ending (and upon further inspection is the very same one he wore in the flashback) is useable in fights (it’d be hilarious but a good detail added in if you were to select that option but the name plate doesn’t display “Sol” lmao). If Ky has a palette that puts him in an open button white shirt, jeans, and what look like work boots, then let me play in the ending's lab coat, tanktop, and jeans dammit.

I kept track of how many of the playable cast showed up and played some part. Everyone except Ramlethal, May, and Faust appeared in the story -- these three were reduced to credit image cameos >:( Ram’s seen with Elphelt and Sin, while Ky and Dizzy are in the background. May’s with her crew, and Faust is in the desert somewhere or some shit with Chronus.

But even if they did show up, nobody else except like five people did jack shit. Giovanna, bless her heart, was absent for a long period then showed up to fight Nagoriyuki (who eventually sided with the good guys) but got her ass beat after he faked surrender. Potemkin helped but spent most of his time cruising at high speed trying to get to the White House. Ky and Jack-O didn’t arrive until the end either. Axl -- or should I say Will -- finally got to see Megumi again at the cost of I-No’s defeat. The dude got his girlfriend back at the loss of someone he considered a friend but the delivery felt forced as it was confirmed as she was dying -- wasn't part of her character that she has no recollection of a past? Her suddenly remembering a past boyfriend and being able to describe his appearance didn't really make much sense.

Chipp and Anji were in that comical highway chase scene, but then Anji's just wherever while Chipp's in the Pentagon control room. I get that someone had to stay behind and watch from the other side -- this role landing with Leo as he, Millia, and Zato were overseeing commentating on events from the castle’s war room like Brock and Misty during Ash's battles in the OG season of the Pokemon anime, while Daryl was at the G4 conference and Ky was on his way to the fight -- but the pacing and usage of the cast in this story was a mess. Yeah sure it has most of the GG cast in this installment's playable roster present but it didn't feel like a GG story -- really it felt like the live action Resident Evil movies where the source material's characters are sprinkled in, acting more as a "here ya go they're here don't expect much!" type thing.

Honestly, a step down from Rev because at least everyone in that arc were somewhat present with maybe one or two exceptions? Hell, even though they were added as dlc or in Rev2, Dizzy, Haehyun, Baiken, and Answer were in the main story. Being hopeful here when I say that I hope we see more of Goldlewis or get to play as him because his design is badass and so is his coffin flail weapon. On the side of fairness though, I have a feeling this isn’t exactly what Ishiwatari intended (this is unlikely but it's probably Katano's directing? Whatever in any case)? The general reaction I saw from others who’ve watched the story was that the subplots were half baked and the plot as a whole was pretty rushed. Happy Chaos / the Original as the main villain was Calypso Twins from Borderlands 3 level cringe and every time HC appeared on screen I wanted to mute it. There is the bonus story coming later this year, along with the dlc slots, so ehh? The interactions between Colin and Frederick were one of my personal favorite points even if this did turn into “Neon Genesis White House Down”.

“Brown bears don’t give birth to pandas.“

I’m sure like the others who actually paid attention to the story from the end of Xrd to Strive, my main question was this:

After the Justice / Jack-O fusion -- recall the “newly revived” Aria had purely red hair and Jack-O’s halo disappeared. During the mid-credits of Revelator, former friends turned sworn enemies turned frenemies Asuka and Frederick pretty much have one last declaration of war against each other, with Sin, I-No, and Raven as their witnesses -- Asuka even said “take good care of Aria”. Naturally from all of that, she’s not Jack-O anymore, right? Wrong. According to the game, what's inside of Jack-O is only a fragment / shard of Aria mixed in with Jack-O's projected personality (I think). How did they go from "let's do the fusion and guaranteed she'll return" to "yeah nah she ain't comin' back bro"

Xrd Revelator: "Pull this off successfully and Aria will fully revive as a human."

Strive: "Nah bruh. We lied. It just turned Jack-O human and what's inside her is only an unstable shard of Aria -- not the whole thing."

Back to the “final battle”, they don’t fight, rather Asuka removed the Flame of Corruption from Frederick's body (and somehow he got a haircut too). So really what was the fight in Rev2′s [After Story - A] for? Did he get nearly the life beaten out of him from Ky fighting dirty and left that crater in the park for nothing? Seems that way. Asuka lives on the moon and he's got a radio show now because (*bong rip*) that makes sense.

I’ll admit it’s a little cute that the feelings are mutual between Jack-O and Frederick -- he sees her as herself and not just a genetic copy but they expect us to think in the three weeks they've known each other that "oh shit I'm in love with this person" is believable -- and they live in the woods near a presumably 200+ year old space shuttle complete with the launchpad but come on now. That's some Russo Brothers level writing right there -- y'all remember Avengers: Endgame and how when he went across space and time to return the Infinity Stones, Steve Rogers threw everything away just so he could go back to his original era? The now depowered-so-he's-human-again Frederick Bulsara (the ex-gear and world's savior x times over formerly known as Sol Badguy) living in isolation away from his newfound family and friends gives off the same vibe. Especially after that one and only flashback where it's Aria's birthday and he was going to propose but the ring wasn't ready in time so he had that "error" to show instead.

Jesus says it’s time I say what I want but not. I’m here to say it the way I know God would want me to say it which is better then me. We all have a way of saying things to people & not say it better then we know we want or could but when God says it to me from Him through The Holy Spirit it get’s done like it should. I know it’s different but when you read in the Bible when Paul or any of God’s Disciples writing the Bible for God Jesus with  God’s words from Him to them it’s not the same but correct. Correct means that it is right from God. They knew they had some differences in God’s  life here but not much. It’s the way we see people with us & we know that  when we are here on this earth it will be fun but not home in Heaven now. I know that I can read some people right but not know their thought’s about me to the extent of knowing them all the time. Only God can do that. I have a moment with people but that is the impression for God that is correct up until I get to know them better. Then they say; Okay I have a way of being with you to. We are not the same in color of our skin but I know that when they make the opportunity towards me to say; Hey I like who you are & we like who we are as God’s children. I say yes with a smile & they say yes with a laugh back to me. Okay the words are not there but it is the same as saying I want to have fun here with you because you are a smiling person to say God is with me to. No one has to say it better then me. It won’t come out the same anyway. It comes out the way God says it for me & for you when you say it to anyone or to you or for God. I say it for me but I say it for me to say it for God’s Glory. Many do that & I do that here & on my site for twitter & for my Sermon site. I say that if I can be here a little longer I will say anything I want but God will say what He wants from Him to me through The Holy Spirit. That is the time I say; Whew I don’t have to say it all but I will. God Is Jesus with God Jehovah & The Holy Spirit as One but Three in the Presence as One God Alone Always. I’m here to say I will be out & about with me but not with people in front of me. I know that if that happens God will set it up. I don’t know if ever but I say this to me daily; One day at a time for me. I get into my life but I want to get better in my life to be with God Alone with me to. I’m not here to say I’m with me by myself  here on earth with God Alone. I have met many in my life that say God Is Jesus with God Jehovah. It’s the ONLY way to Heaven. We know this & we can say that to people but I say God’s Name. If they don’t say anything back to me it doesn’t mean they don’t believe in God. It means they just are a person that says it to themself when they want. I have fun with people who are quiet about God Jesus with me around. I say God’s Name & they say His Name back like a few times or they say; Yes He Is God Jesus. Okay I’m here to say this to you now. I’m not good with words but God is the best for me to say it here. I can come up with the words eventually but I won’t be Prophesying for God Jesus when He brings it to my attention to say what He wants to say & when. I want Hillary & Obama like now in Prosecution for what they have done against America & selling all that uranium & all of those Top Secret information for all those missiles for North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China, Iran, Russia & now they will head into Vietnam after the New Year is here. No one has to say I’m right but wait until you see it happening against us in time for them wanting to war against us in time. I won’t be here. I will be out some place in another Country but it will be not me who says when. I will be playing & having fun. I won’t be here with me all by myself in saying what will happen. Our President knows it will be happening & now Obama & Hillary & Bill say I’m here to claim them being a part of a world wide destruction group because they sold all that uranium to our WORST enemy & they sold it to more of our enemies for money to get more for them for use of weapons against us here in what used to be called America. I Pray daily but what is in the Bible will not stop. I have to say I’m not glad about this but I have to say it’s been up to God for me to say when but I don’t know if He means for me to go out & say more about this happening or me doing Sermons but it’s God saying I won’t be a person of health but really healthy to be a person in an Office so big that it will be not fun to say I can’t play pickleball anymore but I will. It will be a good fun place to be when I’m there trying to say what I mean here but it’s up to God & not me to say it His way. I Pray I will do it God’s way but I will have to see if it’s what I think now but it is not. I don’t know what that thing is but God says I do. It’s that thing about me not being in Church or saying more about how  good those Sermon’s are in Church but not saying God Jesus more times to make sure people know Who God Is. God Jesus Is God with God Jehovah & The Holy Spirit. They are One but Three in the Presence as One God Alone to the Max which is Eternity & so on. Okay I know that someone is not in good with God but he is in Hollywood trying to make more movies to be on top again as an older actor. I Pray he finds God as Jesus. He would be fun to see in the right movie but when he was in the movies when he was young he said he had enough of making movies. Something about all the buzz  around him not being a good actor but he is a good actor. He just plays the wrong parts. It’s hard to know which part to play but one movie he was in was the right part for him. I watched a movie with him in it last night but it was not a good spot for him but he wants the time to get back into shape for a come back for another movie with another actor. I think it will be a top selection for him but not the right one. His health is okay but not as good as it could have been. He didn’t stay in shape & the other actor did. That makes him trying to do better in health but it’s work when you are old to keep it up. Just a daily small workout plan is all I do & I feel & look not as I did when I was young but I look good playing what I want in you know that sport called pickleball. I’m going to get back into racquetball & tennis after the first of the year. I will play in as practice to get my timing in again like before but it will take me time. I have to say my back is not good but I play anyway & it hurts the next day & the next but I keep in shape to say I can do this for my life here. God says He will heal me in time but I’m good. I think about all those who are really in a lot of pain & I say I’m good but it’s up to God to say when any of us are healed in all areas of our life. I have to say that I’m here for me but I know life is real for all of us. I want to go back to a Ministry at a Church for a jail kind of Ministry but I have my heart in another place for me next year & I have a family member who says when I can be with them on a moment’s notice from one day to the next. So I have to see if I have to drive them any place & then I work my schedule out around them so they will be happy not being able to drive a car anymore. I won’t be able to drive when I’m really old but many do until they say I’m done doing that. I won’t until God says it’s time to give it up & then when I’m on an island for a bit I can drive around in some golf cart but then back to a car. It will be  fun for me to say things like that because no one knows what I mean but I do. God gives me a smile when I’m here because it get’s serious with  you know saying that Obama & Hillary & Bill will not be in jail. They have  too much money to buy themselves a good Lawyer who will LIE for them to the MAX so they can get more money out of them in time when they will be back in Court for more things to deal with because I will keep saying it here but always with someone to back up this site. With who? I don’t know but God says people will know this stuff in much more detail then me just saying this & that & that when I’m here it just pops into my conversation with God Jesus & God Jehovah. Not to mention this but I just said this to me. I hope that I’m good enough to say it for me when they ask me how I know  it’s God Jesus saying it to me & it is down right almost exactly what someone said just the other day. What is that? I don’t know but some person will say; Hey can I talk with you a minute & tell me what it is you know about this  site that is not good but absolutely truthful about God Jesus? Well I will say. It’s not good but it’s all the truth about God saying it to me for someone like you to come all the way here to say; Hey can I talk with you about God  Being God with God Jehovah & The Holy Spirit. Well they will say. I can’t be here now for much longer but I can be with you when I go home. Can you come back with me? No I will say. I have to be here for my stuff to get done with my mom & my kids & my life & my husband & our animals. He won’t take care of the bird I have to. Well not only do I see that you want to come. I see that you don’t want to be with me because of who I’am as you know this person as in popular in you know Hollywood buzz town. Well yeah that is one way of saying it but I’m here to do what I can for me to do it for God to. You can be with people back in Hollywood to say what it is  you need to hear. Not the way you say it. I say it different but people don’t get what I mean & they say I don’t make any sense. Well I do know this. If I were you I would say yes to me now. I won’t be back for a while but I can make it back another time if it’s better for you to say yes. I would like to come back with you so I can show you how to be like me but not. Okay that sounds fun the way you just said that. I know. I just said that to give you the idea that I can do that to but it’s the way you say it. It’s the way  you say God Jesus all the time in your life’s work here online. It is not anything but God Jesus all the way through in your life. Why is that? And why am I here for someone like you anyway? Well I’m here because I know that something is going on with you & it’s not like anyone I have met now or maybe ever. I don’t know if I should say this but every time you say God your face lights up like big time. That’s because I like being with God with people the most. It’s the only way to be with me to be with anyone who says God back to me for the first or only time. Okay I have to be honest here. I’m not here for you. I’m here for me. I want more for me to say God Is Jesus more then I do now. Then just all the way home & all the day long say God Jesus I Praise you as God Alone with God Jesus. Well I can say that but how do you Praise God so much & when I see how you  do that maybe I can to. No you won’t do it the way I do. It’s all the way we are with God individually. Okay who else says that but you the way you say it for me to me & all that stuff. I have people around here that could say it no matter what I say even better for you to hear it the way you want to hear it. I can’t say it the right way with me here to be with you like you want me to be. I say it all from God just the way He says it to me from Him through The Holy Spirit & that is it. Okay I want to know more about that. I want to say it more to like this or the way I can say it for me with God with me more| & I know you want to come back with me. I do but I don’t know what it is you want from me. I just told you all that I can about how to be close to God & you can be with God & with a whole lot more people with God in your life if you want. Know what that is for you. Okay but I still want you to say yes for me just for now. Okay I’m not that dumb to say no too many times to someone who says they want to know more about God Jesus but if you say that is enough I’m done. I will be out the door fast so you can be with your heart the way I know you can be now. Okay that sounds fine. Just get me back onto a plane for me to say; That was fun. Okay you have a deal but I can’t have my kids with me now. I have to let them be out while I’m with you on this trip I’m going to. Okay what trip? It will be a trip with just the two of us for now. I’m not into letting them know more about God for  now. Why not? I have to see if you are for real. If you don’t know me by now after all that I have said online & in Sermons & here with you now. You need to go home to Pray for God to be with you & I will be with me & my family here saying it for God daily. No I want to have you back for me & some people to see what you are like by yourself without God with you so much. This is me. You have no idea what I’m like but I can be a real stinker or really fun. I choose fun but if I’m out with someone & they say it’s done with them to hear me saying anything about God when that is why you have me there. I will just say fine & move on to saying to them; So how is your pickleball game going so far? Okay that is not fun to hear you say that but it could happen. Well it has happened but I’m here to say I won’t leave you standing their holding your drink while I’m having anyone say it’s not good to say God too much. I will say to them; It’s not good to say God’s Name in vane too much either. So let’s get it together with who we are as God’s children & Who He Is as God Who died on the Cross for your sin. Okay that is not good to say that to my dad but he will get  you I know right away. You are about the right age. Well maybe. Okay let me say this to you now. I’m here for God but I have conversation with me & people about who they are because that’s the way they like it okay? Well it’s not the way it will go but if I can say this; You are intense more then I would have thought you should be. So was God Jesus when they denied Him continually until He as Crucified on the Cross for their sin. Okay I have heard enough of this tape. Did she know that you were just there to see if she really hears God online with Him giving her the words from Him through The Holy Spirit? I don’t know but I can’t trip her up at all. I want her to come back with me. I told her I had to call my kids to say I was going to be home not today but tomorrow or the next day or the next. Okay why is that? She is so much fun to be with. She said she can dress me up like she dresses & we can go anywhere we want because of the way she is people just smile & look the other way. It’s because of their time like here but they won’t see who I’am in her clothes. I thought that was a fun thing for her to say. It has worked so far. I have been out to see her  mom & her place of fun at some club. She is teaching me pickleball & racquetball & now we are going to play tennis today. I can’t wait to start to play some of these sports. She is a really good teach to. Okay that is all for now. Bye. Okay wait! Okay she hung up. She sounds like she is  having some fun. Let’s go see her just for the fun of it. She says they are going some place but I know that she is not saying something about her  that I think is already happening & she see’s it & wants to get to know her so we can be there but she is saying what she wants for us to be with her with her. You know what I mean? I guess. We sound like her now. Okay let’s go then. I want to see if Harry is going to be with me in a cave in time & I scream like a women to get him like away from me. Okay that is fun to think about. I can’t imagine you being able to scream that high pitched but she says you can break some glass if there were any around in that old cave. Oh very funny. I know it’s just a joke but I can’t be with her if she says I was that elephant kid on that tv show umteen years ago. I know she said she watched it but I haven’t been that kid in umteen years. So what is the issue with that. She likes you. That is the issue. Okay let’s go so I can have some fun with her conversation the way she is having fun with it but it sounds like she is not having fun. She is learning to have fun in a life that we can’t experience like that now. Well she has a court of her own to play on & she is a member of a club where she plays tennis & racquetball. Let’s take some clothes to see if she will teach us how to play any of those sports. Okay I will but you know babe here won’t. Okay I will to see if I can have fun playing sports to. Well she says she’s only 7 years younger then you & she plays & works out daily in her time here on this earth. That is not a way to say it but it’s not her it’s God right? Okay that is what she just said you would just say. Oh great! Now she is reading the future to be with me or anyone to be with in time. No she is saying it to be with God more to be with people who say God to themself & then make a lot of money like  you & then say; I’m good God. I don’t need you now that I’m making that crazy dumb mad angry movie of the hateful eight but I’m good with me on this. Okay how much did I make in getting right down to the disgusting part of saying; I just watched a fake friend of mine in this movie be cut in half in a very unusual way. Okay what is that about? Oh it was those people who eat people & I was some Sheriff in town that went out looking for some people who were missing & I became a prisoner in that old cave. She says it will get you ready for Harry’s cave but not being eaten like in that movie that you were in. She can’t remember the name of it because it was so bad for anyone to see it. It’s like a nightmare to be seen over & over & over & over in her mind when she thinks of you doing that movie like that. Ewww is what she says. Well why did she watch it then if she didn’t like the ewww movie of me saying; Well here we go watching the most disgusting thing about me saying I hate even seeing my supposed friend being chopped in two like that. Okay it’s not good but it is something to think about. Get into your life with God Jesus & MAKE BETTER movies. I’m sure you can do that if you try Praying & asking God to get you a better character to  play in & NOT just for the money PLEASE. Get a spot or a character like you used to do & have fun with it but NOT that flesh eating thing or where you die at the end of the movie so bad that it is not worth my time saying  that I didn’t like it at all but I did watch it for me to say how much you need to be with God for MORE time to say; Hey I need a bit more time & money for me to be here on this planet. Please find me some work. If Harry is all you have. I will take it until something comes along better. Okay I can’t say if this is about you but it does describe the two movies that you were in a while back. Okay let’s go see her. No I can’t after that what she just said there. Why not? Because she see’s me as a person of anger or you know something. No it’s just you. You are a talented person. Just let God know that you really want more good parts in movies that are not related to being a cowboy anymore. Okay that is it. I’m going to give her a bad time about God in her life. Oh she says it will be fun to meet you. She will say to you not one word unless you bring up your career or your doubts about her being with God. It’s a thing God has with her for Him defending  her with someone who watches a fake person being chopped in two & you know being kind of gross to see it but it didn’t bother you because you got the money for it. Hope you had fun with that money. Wish I could see a  paycheck like that but I have to see if it will be more then yours is in time. Okay she is not doing this by herself. How would anyone know what to say to me & not be fun or funny when she says it or mad. I know that it is not real but it is for me to say she is with God. How? I don’t know but if I say that in time. Well I’m in on some movies with her & Harry & babe here in that dark gloomy cave. Well not that dark. Harry will have his own little fire going but you won’t say to make it bigger for you to get more  warm with your babe with you. You will just stare at him & he at you & it will be fun for her to say; Hey I’m going out. Harry will you watch my  friends here so I can know that they are safe & I mean just stare at them to the max to  make sure he doesn’t try to get out. It’s dangerous out there & I want them safe. Okay he is staring me down. When do I scream? Now or in the time frame she says. Okay that is not how to say that okay. Hey I’m only saying it the way she says it in her blog about me here with Harry. He likes you a lot to. It’s that gold shiny hair. He wants someone to say they are old & wise so his children can have fun with them in the tree’s or you know something like that. What are you doing? Are you memorizing her blog to be here for me or her? I’m here for me. I’m here to keep me safe  but I’m here to try to keep you safe but Harry will do that not me. I’m here to do this movie. I guess this is a movie. That is her camera there isn’t it? I don’t know. Our friend just walked out the cave & I’m stuck here with you instead of her here with me all by myself. What? Are you saying you want to be with her more then me? Yes I’am. A man is a weak link between his brain & his heart. That’s what she said & I believe it to. Okay did you just say that for real or not? I said it for real. Okay is that I mean for a real  thing here for me to hear or for you to say it for her movie or you know the other babes movie? Yes & I know it makes sense to say man is not with us as equals either. Oh here we go again & not saying it to me but  getting to say it here in her movie or the other babes movie. Okay I have to say I can’t move with her here to say it the way she wants & she says it better then me. Okay if I can say this to all of you now. Say it the way you would say it if you were all normal here. Okay if we are all normal here? How would we say it? I don’t know. Your the ones that have to say it in a normal way if you are normal or not. Okay what is that suppose to mean? Just what I said. I can’t even move in my space here. Can we or I go out to use the rest room? There is a rest room right? Yes go out that cave door & let Harry show you where he goes to the rest area room. Oh that is not funny at all. Why not? I have to listen to you & your complaining to me all the way up here & now all the way through one night if we are all lucky to keep you here that long. Well we can’t even move to go to the rest room & then try to escape. Well you can try but Harry has word to him from me to keep you here. We can do this one way or the other. Or we just go home & you two & this babe here will be without money for  this, her movie. Okay I never said I would foot the bill for this flat liner of a movie. Oh so now you are out to make it a halt here when you said to me just not that long ago; Oh wait! I can’t be without you. Please be with me for this one old movie I want to do. Now it’s just me & you. Can you say this. Now stand here. BOOORING! Is what I say. Well gee thanks  a lot. Okay let me say it how God would have said it; I was here to make a movie but it wasn’t as good as I thought it was because you kept saying to me; Say this. Go over there & get mad. So I thought if I really left that it would make a better movie & it did. It did not. There is too many hole’s  in it now to make it & finish it now. Okay fill it all in with babe right here. It only makes sense to keep her in anything that doesn’t make any sense anyway. Hey wait a minute. What is that suppose to mean? I just said what it suppose to mean. Oh well I’m not here for any insults with me or him here. Good because I said it anyway with them here to hear me say it & be honest about what it is I’m doing here & you all say; Oh my time here is not worth it. I have to go back to my farm & feed my animals &  slop the pigs & maybe I might get me a good part in a movie then. From slopping the pigs? Yeah you know those pigs you said yes to when you got paid to watch your fake friend get chopped in two. Okay that is not fun to even hear. He was not even real. Yeah there are a lot of people who are not real & your friend doesn’t like God. So he said; Okay for the money & this guy here who likes to slop us pigs for the money to. I will  do it. You know make this flesh eating move for what a million or two dollars? I hope you got more then that but you should have been the one to take home your fake cut in half friend to say to your babe here; Hey look what I brought home for you honey. A freshly chopped in two fake friend. Where can I put him here in our little house together that one of us owns but not the other one? Okay that is not fun to see here on this blog & I have to say I don’t know if she is saying we are not Married after about umteen years & we have grandchildren from our own two together for about as long as I’am old practically. How long have we been together honey? You don’t know? I can’t remember it’s been so long. Okay my point taken is what she will say. Well we could get Married now that our family is all grown up. Yeah but what is the fun in that? We have it made here. I have you &  my pigs here to feed me more time & money with you & our kids & we can go when & where we want until my pigs take me away for another flesh eating continuing story on how I made it out alive after being stabbed all the way through to the ground. Or wait! It was me getting shot. That was it. I got shot after I killed a few of those ornery flesh eating things that  killed my fake friend & I have him on my wall at home in two pieces. Okay that is not fun to see in her blog. Why not? I think it’s hilarious that she says it. I think she knows her stuff here & we should be here for more of her  word choosing but I think she says it for God. He does it all. Okay I’m not with any pigs to say I will do a sequel to any movie with anger enough to say I will be beating up old helpless women like in that one movie who was a villain but maybe the flesh eating thing. That got some heads turned my way. Your kidding right? No I think it was the part where I watched my fake friend get cut in half by some big old knife or machete that was a way for me to say; I hope it was big enough to cut through that tough old skin so I can say I’m glad it’s over for him but not. What does that mean? Well I guess if he would have lived the sequel would have been better for us in the next movie but I let him get cut in two with that big old knife or  machete. Okay who is doing this for the fun of it. I don’t know but if we could get her to write a script for me. It would be fun to finish this old blog here. No we can’t but it will be fun to see if it goes any further so we can make it up as we go like she does. Well if it’s out we will go see it but it won’t be for sometime but it will be fun to see it all on film in  some area of faith for her to say; Hey is that camera working over there?  Or is it me who has to change that battery over there by Harry. Go ahead & do that. We will walk you through it when you get there. Okay is what  I will say but it will be fun to say maybe for anything that God says for the fun of it. Bye for now.

(This mix was originally posted on LJ in February of 2008. I’m putting all my old fanmixes online w/ the info here! :D)

IF YOU HAVEN’T PLAYED THE FIRST BIOSHOCK, THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS FANMIX (just a warning XD)

1960. Your name is Jack. You're the only survivor in a plane crash in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Surprisingly, you find yourself near a curious tower jutting out of the water. You wade over, climb inside and find yourself in a sprawling underwater city, complete with clubs, apartments, factories and leaks. What was this place created for? Who created it? Why? How? It's a technical marvel, why hasn't it been all over the news? These are the questions you are searching for answers to, until more questions materialize, that is. Such as "Who is Atlas and why am I helping him?", "Why is my hand seething fire, insects and electricity?", "Why are these gigantic robots suddenly out for my head?" and "Oh dear god, why is that little girl chugging the red fluid she just needled out of that corpse?" Society here has collapsed, the people have gone absolutely out of their minds, everyone is jacked up on plasmids and now you're stuck in the middle of it. Welcome to Rapture.

bobby darin .. BEYOND THE SEA ... it's far beyond the stars it's near beyond the moon I know beyond a doubt my heart will lead me there soon ...

Ignore the lies of Atlas and his parasites. Rapture is on the rise.

[ Don't mind the leaks or the bodies. Just watch your step. ] ................ Andrew Ryan asks you a simple question: are you a man or a slave? ................ temposhark f. imogen heap .. NOT THAT BIG ... I can cut my heart out just like you do and I can suck the life out of it just like you do i'm gonna pick myself up and pull myself together; never revel in recovery mode for when commitment is a dirty word you can't afford to ever slip or let down your guard ...

[ It might feel a little funny with the first injection, Jack. Just a little. ]

................ The Little Sisters Orphanage: In troubled times, give your little girl the life that she deserves. Boarding and education free of charge!

[ Andrew Ryan is your God among Men. ] ................ Approaching a Little Sister is a criminal offense. Do not approach the Little Sisters. ................ gerard mcmann .. CRY LITTLE SISTER ... cry little sister (thou shall not fall) come to your brother (thou shall not die) unchain me sister (thou shall not fear) love is with your brother (thou shall not kill) ...

[ It's up to you, Jack, whether they're rescued or harvested, which means it's up to you whether the big brother in their chemically-enhanced fucked-up-beyond-repair family saves them or kills them and takes all the spoils as his own. ]

................ We all have bills to pay, and the temptation to break curfew to make a little extra ADAM is forgivable. Breaking the curfew is not. Stay on the level, and out of trouble. ................ three days grace .. NEVER TOO LATE ... no one will ever see this side reflected and if there's something wrong who would have guessed it and I have left alone everything that I own to make you feel like it's not too late it's never too late ...

[ People forget that the Big Daddies were once human too. ] ................ The smuggler is the friend of the parasite. It is your duty to report the smuggler. ................ radiohead .. ALL I NEED ... I am the next act waiting in the wings I am an animal trapped in your hot car I am all the days that you choose to ignore you are all I need you are all I need I am in the middle of your picture lying in the reeds ...

[ "Plasmids changed everything. They destroyed our bodies, our minds. We couldn't handle it. Best friends butchering one another, babies strangled in cribs. The whole city went to hell." ] ................ Rumor is the tool of the parasite. Fontaine is dead; Rapture lives. ................ videodrone .. ALONE WITH 20 BUCKS ... living, barely surviving freebasing life till its end divided soulless vices death before life could begin evil dollar bills, life stood still a tumor removed from your brain prescription refilled, a cure for my ill blood stains painted over again you tell me how to think you tell me how to feel cause I want to know what is real is anyone real? ...

[ "Me family's in a submarine hidden in the foundation of Fontaine Fisheries. I'll meet you there." -- You'd better get used to being lied to, Jack. ] ................

EXPERIMENT IV ... they told us all they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance So we go ahead and the meters are over in the red It's a mistake in the making ...

[ Nothing holds back the experiments in Rapture. And nothing is saved from them. Plants, animals, children -- all up for grabs. ] ................ Wallet a little light?

[ The body is a terrible thing to waste. So says the artist. One does the cutting and the carving and the other does the sculpting and the performing and they're two sides of one horribly twisted and beautiful coin. ] ................ Attention: Any public congregation of more than four persons is considered an actionable offense. ................ frou frou .. PSYCHOBABBLE ... do just what I tell you and no one will get hurt don't come any closer cause I don't know how long I can hold my heart in two make no sudden movements and no one will get hurt you're not coming over if you know what's good for me why would I be leaving you? ...

[ "Now, would you kindly find a crowbar or something? Bloody splicers sealed Johnny in before they ... goddamn splicers." -- They were the citizens of this once thriving metropolis. Now they've been reduced to babbling, deformed maniacs who are only out for another high. ] ................ We all move the Great Chain, and the Great Chain moves us all. ................ moving units .. THE KIDS OF ORANGE COUNTY ... a suburban tease you can see their dirty knees you can see them bounce off a wall like a racquet hits a ball but they always come back again a Jamaican breeze you can smell the anti-freeze you can see the world is a maze when you're young and you're free to be anything you wanted to be ...

[ It's all about class, dollface, and you don't fit in! Parasite! ] ................ The parasite hates three things: free markets, free will, and free men. ................ brand new .. WELCOME TO BANGKOK [ instrumental ]

[ "Don't know what I was thinkin'. Never spliced up once the whole time I was down here in this aquarium. Figured it was bad to mix business with pleasure, but WHOOO! Forget all the nose candy and floor polish I been wastin' time with! THIS stuff is the mothers milk!" ] ................ "That's just the Plasmid Blues, Mary. You just need to slow down a bit on the splicing. Before you know it, you'll be as right as rain. Remember, a smart splicer is a happy splicer." ................ ambo .. BLUEBIRD ... and the sun was brilliant too ...

[ Maybe one day you'll see the sun again, Jack. ]
