Lost and Found: Bottle Hunter Digs Extraordinary Farmland Treasures

Tom Askjem is a time traveler. Every May to November, he disappears into the bowels of the earth, descends to depths of 13’-plus, and returns to the surface with treasure—bottles and glassware from farming’s past.

After 1,800 pits and hundreds of thousands of relics, Askjem is equal parts archeologist, thrill seeker, and mole. Muscle on dirt, the North Dakota farm boy has turned an addiction into a career, multiple books, and a captivating YouTube channel with millions of views. However, Askjem seeks more than glass.

“I’m digging for adventure, history, and love,” he says. The past is in these holes and there are countless numbers of them across farmland.”

Time to hunt with a master.

The Infection

On the flats of extreme eastern North Dakota’s Traill County, Askjem, 32, prepares for a dig trip. “No mountains and no hills in the Red River Valley,” he describes. “You can see your dog run away for days. The land is mostly featureless, other than a few big cottonwoods and shelter belts where farms used to be.”

A mop of blonde hair sits atop a 6’-tall, lanky frame as Askjem saddles his pony—a Honda Civic. At the current mileage rate, the Civic will be junkyard fodder before it has a scratch: 60,000 backroad miles added to the odometer in the past six months.

Askjem piles layers of gear into the trunk, including three of each tool for insurance: shovels, pronged garden forks, trampoline pads, probe rods, buckets, plastic scoopers, trowels, tents, sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, air mattresses, clothes, and waterproof, Redwing leather work boots.

“It never gets old,” he says, wearing a wide grin. “I caught the infection when I was a kid.”

Digging Bodies

Pushed from the Grand Forks area by the historic Red River flood of 1997, Askjem moved to a farm outside Buxton at six years young. The main property was an 1878 homestead—a progression from sod house to log cabin to the present standing 1898 farmhouse decked in Victorian-era woodwork and hardware.

Surrounded by history, including the skeletons of old wagons and rusting machinery, Askjem explored a 5-acre patch of woods on the property, and chanced on a garbage dump: pop bottles and trash.

Askjem dug.

“I went deep and found stuff going back to 1898. When you’re a kid living in the country, there’s no going down the street and there’s no hanging with friends to play video games—you make your own adventure. I started hitting up all the farmers I could find for leads.”

Behind the wheel of a rattling go-cart, Askjem sought Buxton old-timers and collected tips on abandoned houses. “They all helped me,” he says. “Nobody cared where I hunted because I was just a little kid exploring for all the right reasons.”

“I’ve still got an elementary school journal with an assignment describing my weekend,” he adds. “I wrote, ‘Me and Mom dug up old bodies.’ The teacher marked my paper out of concern,” Askjem describes, with an easy, deep chuckle. “I meant to spell bottles, not bodies. But it shows I was truly hooked.”

Indeed. Wonderfully hooked.

Soft Landing

Why are bottles buried under farmland and old house sites?

Prior to plastic and synthetics, glassware held everything: medicine, hygiene products, alcohol, soda, and beyond. Glass was it.

Additionally, prior to waste disposal services, homeowners discarded trash on-site—in back yard outhouses, trash depressions, burn pits, and wells or cisterns. In short time, the various ground receptacle spots were filled and forgotten.

“Let’s say, for example, a family moved in around 1880,” Askjem explains. “That site likely has two or three outhouse locations prior to World War l. The outhouse spots filled up at a rate according to family size. I dug one farmhouse site that had six outhouses in a 10-year span. Folks went into the outhouses and threw away bottles: medicine, opiates, beer, whiskey. It was convenient and private, and had a soft landing, and got covered quickly. Even now, the bottles often are still preserved.”

“Generally, these houses also had a burn pit and/or dump pit. In the early days, they burned all trash in the stove for heat. Also, homestead bucket wells were filled up with trash and bottles once they were replaced by pump wells. Cisterns also were eventually filled up, but most of those are associated with houses in town.”

And the sites remain, he emphasizes, hiding intact relics beyond the reach of farm machinery or tillage equipment.

X Marks the Spot

Location. Location. Location. Other than a tip or invitation, how does Askjem find dig sites?

X marks the spot, at least in the county courthouse or public library. He spends winters poring over early property transaction documents. “I look at lot sales. If several lots sold for $100 each in 1880, but one sold for $1,000 in 1885, the price climb tells the story and likely represents a building location.”

“I also read old newspaper archives, looking for hotel or business advertisements,” Askjem continues. “Then I can look up the proprietor’s name and keep tightening the scope, narrowing down the exact building location.”

“Every single house is different, but generally, in the countryside, outhouses were 30 paces out the back door. In the city, where most lots were 140’ long, outhouses could be as close as 5-10 paces.”

Confident of a site’s potential, Askjem first asks for permission to dig from the landowner. “Property owners are always so kind to me and I don’t hide anything I find. They’re curious about what is in the ground, just like anybody else.”

Second, he grids out the site. “I put down markers 2 paces apart, maybe 20 paces long. I push probe rods into ground and feel for compaction differences. Depending on the location, I’ll call in and have utility lines marked out for power and gas.”

Decked in Levi’s and a tank-top, it’s time to tunnel.

Claustrophobic Comfort

Shovel in hand, Askjem descends into a layer cake of dirt: black topsoil to brown-colored clay to telltale ash to a use layer containing treasure.

“Generally, I go deep to find old items in quantity. The earliest bottles were used to the last drop by farmers and thrown out empty. Therefore, when they froze in brutal Dakota winters, the glass didn’t break from liquid expansion.”

As Askjem extracts glass vessels from the dirt and grime, his encyclopedic knowledge registers with each find. He recognizes the type, manufacturer, and age. Ink bottles, hygiene bottles, medicine bottles, beer bottles, soda bottles—and far more spill from the holes.

“I find patented medicine bottles across the country, but my favorite are soda bottles because they are unique to their locale and have character. The old soda bottles are usually marked with the bottler and town name because they were returnable.”

The outhouse pits are typically 6’-deep at home sites, with an average size of 6’-by-4’-by-3’. “I’ve dug ghost towns, dug saloons, train depots, and pool halls that were 12’ long, 4’ wide, and 8’ deep. I remember a hotel pit that was 20’-by-20’ and 8’ deep. There was a military fort with pits behind the barracks that was 12’ long, 4’ wide, and 13.5’ deep: That was a week’s worth of digging.”

Askjem’s subterranean realm provides no comfort to the claustrophobic. At 8’-9’, he braces the holes with woodwork. “I’m in a solid clay base that doesn’t cave, but I have a healthy respect for the ground’s limitation. Sometimes, it looks like I’m digging a rabbit hole.”

Preserved in nature’s freezer, the artifacts unearthed by Askjem often are in phenomenal condition.

“Pieces of newspaper can still be read; bottle labels are legible; white lime used in decomposition is visible; and undigested seeds are everywhere. Even 120-year-old human waste sometimes is perfectly preserved and still smells like hell. I wear a hydrogen sulfide respirator in those cases.”

“It’s all there; almost like it was dropped yesterday.”

Ghosts in the Ground

In 2022, Askjem began chronicling his digs via a YouTube channel, Below the Plains, and soon captured millions of views. At two posts per week, he gins footage at a steady rate to feed the algorithm, a tough task considering the ground in his geography is frozen from mid-November to mid-May.

Additionally, Askjem has written two in-depth books (Nebraska Soda Bottles 1865-1930 and A History of North Dakota Bottling Operations 1879-1930) and has more on the way. “I put the bottle prices in the books because they can sell for a whole lot and I always tell the landowners. Listing prices draw criticism, but that’s important to me because it helps preserve the item, and preservation of history is what drives me.”

Covered in dust or mud at the end of each day in digging season, Askjem is highly respectful of what he finds—almost reverent after 1,800 digs. “I appreciate everything I uncover because it represents a part of someone’s daily life and existence. There’s nothing wrong with coveting bottles, but I’m really in those holes for the moment of discovery.”

Even when not digging, Askjem is on the move, surfing on the coasts or river diving for lost cargo. In the decades to come, will he continue burrowing into the past? “Twenty years from now, I hope I’m still digging and there’s nothing I’d rather be doing right now.”

“There’s not an infinite amount of lost bottle sites, but there’s certainly an incredibly high number,” he continues. “There were 300,000 homestead farms in North Dakota with a minimum of one well, one outhouse, and one trash dump. And that doesn’t include towns where most of the population lived. There are millions of these sites in North Dakota and far more in other states.”

Respect to a freewheeling hunter like no other. Bottles draw the eye, but ghosts draw the heart: “The moment never gets old when you uncover a bottle and find that history,” Askjem adds. “Never.”

◇ Huge Sukuna headcanon AU ◇ (cuz I'm crazy)

English is not my native language. It was originally written in Russian, so it is very difficult to translate it correctly, since there are a lot of slangs. And I’m also talking damn nonsense, that’s why.

DO NOT TAKE EVERYTHING WRITTEN SERIOUSLY!!! THIS ALL WAS WRITTEN WHEN THE AUTHOR WAS UNDER METH!!!♡♡♡♡♡

I hope you stay alive and read this to the end.

AU! Our time

Well, what... About the base?

◇About 40-45 years old, mentally - all 70.. (he just tired) No wife, no family, everything is according to the canon.

◇It’s worth paying a little attention to his appearance (Kukukhuhuh):

1) I’ve seen a lot of art on AU Sukuna (I’ve seen a lot, a lot...), I really liked the theme with the patch on the right eye, so let’s take note. Most likely, either he has some problems since birth (Ehehe.. Let’s leave the topic of an unwanted child due to a congenital pathology?))), or he successfully lost it in one of the stabbings (that’s how he met Uraume..)

2) Huge bruises under the eyes. With age, wrinkles also appeared there. The eyes are sleepy, sometimes capillaries burst.

3) His skin is rough and rough. A common problem is peeling; in winter it’s completely out of whack.

4) AQUILINE NOSE (big noses, I like big noses..)

5) He is tall. Very. 190+ exactly. But this is not just a cruise ship, it’s a whole tank. The same guy who is the envy of all natural jocks. Something between a mesomorph, and maybe even an endomorph. The fact itself: there is a lot of muscle, but not dry. In all the right places, as they say...Ahhhhh. I won’t write you the muscle mass ratio and fat percentage, sorry. Where did it come from? Well, look at his true uniform. (Moreover, there were jokes on the Internet that he was on a mass gain after the illustration for the exhibition came out. Eh...They just didn’t deserve him, they were jealous) A strong, good man, I give it a like, without a ticket to my bed. You can consider yourself to have won the genetic lottery. Little nasty bug.

6) It’s obvious that in some places there are scars (a scar on the stomach, where his mouth is, according to the canon), burns... There’s all sorts of things there, in fact.

7) Tattoo? YES!

8) I also saw a couple of heads on Sukuna the boxer, he was included in the heavyweight category. I COMPLETELY AGREE, THIS IS A FACT.

9) In general, he is a typical cat-person. Like..he is so tiger 🐅

10) He also squints often. His gaze is empty, but in his head there is a whole construction site.

====

Okay, I didn’t come up with anything else about appearance, you can figure it out for yourself. Let's go big already.

◇Philosophy of life? Sukuna adheres to that same “hedonism”, EGOISM, that everyone somehow misses when they talk about Sukuna’s philosophy. He doesn’t believe in your metaphysics; sometimes nihilistic tendencies slip through.

◇Remember his hobby? FOOD. And this thing has been preserved. He doesn’t deny himself anything, an ever-meat diet. Proper nutrition? Diets? Wtf, what? He don't know what. But he’s also an eater, he won’t eat everything, he’s very selective. High quality, three Michelin stars. (In general, the topic here is this... In the Heian era, he ate people, right? So, he mainly gave preference to the meat of women and children, since their meat is more tender due to a higher percentage of fat than that of men. Juicy, to be honest)

◇Eh...Would he be Hannibal Lector? Would you eat human flesh? Answer this question yourself. But it's interesting.

◇He has a very specific taste in food

◇What does he do in life? OHHOHO, SO. This is where the juice begins.

Please just keep in mind that this is all a fat joke.

◇We all know very well that Sukuna loves battles, fights, fighting, wars... He loves physical contact very much. Because of this, there is a head that Sukuna could have been involved in wrestling, in particular, boxing or jujitsu, but I have an opinion that Sukuna simply would not have lasted long, or would not have started a career at all. Well, how...

1) If we assume that he was actually involved in wrestling at one time, then his “career” ended after the first major championship at the age of about 20-25 years. In short, everything is simple: during the first round he almost killed his opponent (HAHAHAA), it came to resuscitation. Of course, Sukuna is a tough fighter, but no one expected such meanness. How was he even allowed in? Well, we thought about making money, but Sukuna’s adrenaline was stronger. He never returned to the ring. By some miracle he was not convicted (or rather... They wanted to, but Sukuna was faster). By the way, it must be said that this is not the first time Sukuna has smeared someone on the floor. But for some reason he always got away with it. It didn’t work out here... He wasn’t very upset, to be honest.

Did you think that he would receive penalties cards? No. There are 100% problems with the law. I just decided not to do hardcore.

2) From here I could already talk about the second half of his cheerful life, but I must say that Sukuna, I think, would not go into big sports at all, since it requires a lot of organization, and besides, a lot restrictions. Even MMA is NOT fighting without rules. Elementary. Sukuna has very good stamina, as well as willpower, it’s just... He couldn’t get enough of it. He doesn’t chase fame and success, he’d like to get a thrill from a fight. You can’t just leave training, you can’t do this, you can’t do that. He is simply an excellent virtuoso and improviser who adapts perfectly to the situation, BUT! Only if he WANTS it.

There is a very simple formula: "I can, but I don’t want to. I'm lazy, I'm not interested." Sukuna is not an organized person at all, and if he behaves like this, it is clearly not in good deeds.

3) You can skip this part, but I liked this idea. First I came up with it myself, then I also found headcanons with JJK teachers, everything coincided.

◇It seems to me that Sukuna could become an excellent historian, I don’t know why.. The topic is this: as a cover, he could randomly choose a profession (purely because his history was going well, but he had already improved his dorm life, when he was detained in the police stations for several days)

◇He doesn’t believe in God, but God believes in him, so Sukuna passed the exams well. As I say, he very smart and capable, if only I had the desire.

◇ I’ll quickly go over it:

1) I didn’t want to teach at a university, but at a college - why not. He doesn't like teenagers, but he likes to mock them.

2) He is constantly late for lectures. He swore at his directors when they put the history first. As a result, on Thursday the history is only 50 minutes long.

3) We must give him credit, he talks SO INTERESTINGLY, it’s just crazy. Here you will either listen with your mouth open, or fall asleep to his voice (sorry, I couldn’t resist, phew. In this case, he will come up and knock on the head, like “Who’s there?”) 😭😭😭 (AZAHAZPH)

4) He talks like he went to Moscow with Napoleon, then he judged the Decembrists, then he was in Petrograd at the revolution, then he and Stalin thought about how to defeat the browns, and he also sat together with Goering at Nuremberg... I think there’s no need to even mention the process of battles in the Second World War. He wrote everything down in a notebook while he was in the trench. In general, it's tough.

5) Despite all the charm of the above, he has a terrible memory for dates, so even his students don’t bother with it.

6) Do you want a test? Buy him an expensive bottle of red wine, then he MAYBE will consider your offer (yes, of course he will, he’s just showing off, he’s not interested in that at all)

7) After the first month, the students began to suspect something. You know, mysterious, like a perfume set (russian proverb). Like that same physical education teacher who always hangs out in the back room (local joke...). The smart ones guess, but the smartest ones have already made inquiries, they just remain silent, since Sukuna, in fact, is respected and feared by teenagers (in a good way). It’s a pity that the love is not particularly mutual...Uh.

In general, you understand. But what does he do anyway? He became a teacher in order to divert attention from himself. Decent citizen, but is just some kind of grouch <3

It's time for us to go into his natural environment. Crime)

Here everything is based on:

1. Pleasure, risk

2. Money. Just to live large.

It all started with Uraume (here also Uraume is “they”, so you can consider it either a man or a woman. Whatever you want). According to the canon, Uraume is a cook. It’s the same here, but with a surprise.. In general, Uraume “cooks”, and in Russian, he makes interesting preparations...)))(EMHAJAJAJJAAHPA0, WHAT IS THE PLOT OF “BREAKING BAD”, AZAHAHAHCH I’M DEAD Okay, just give me a chance)

◇Sukuna knew his comrades so well that he learned about Ura’s affairs only after 8-9 years of acquaintance (Forgive him).

◇In short, Uraume cooks well, and also studied at the chemistry department. Uraume had a purely monetary question; they didn’t use their own product (and I don’t advise you to, otherwise you’ll later invent such garbage like I did)

◇ – What is this? - What do you think? Sukuna narrowed his eyes. - And you decided not to tell me about it? - And I didn’t hide it. Just why extra attention to yourself? There was silence in the room. - Listen... - Sukuna, don't- - LET ME FINISH. ◇ Uraume had no options.

◇Every drug dealer needs his own "sportik" (This is what we call those who punish or kill people who hide drugs). Well, you understand, right...?

◇Well, that’s how it started to spin and spin. Moreover, it was Sukuna who opened the doors to the darkest places. Accordingly, he himself stood up very quickly, and even the dog would not dare to growl. Hello, black market. The only problem is hiding all this from the police + there is not enough imagination on how to launder the money, but the business itself is going well and wonderful. Sukuna also managed to be a hired killer in the dark spaces. He lives a very happy life, he likes it. Finally able to use fighting skills. Hooray.

◇ Sukuna once even showed interest in “cooking” while watching Uraume. You will be shocked, but he does a great job. Wow.

◇Well, not really. It seems to me that Sukuna is either a pure humanist, or with an admixture of biology and chemistry (everything was reinforced there along the way). But algebra, geometry, physics - well, no. I was ready to fight to the death with one guy from the faculty of Physics and Mathematics, because they stood and proved what is generally more important in life. I think his name was Gojo...I don't know.

◇ The only thing he can do from this is count money and interest.

◇The same person who will walk into the room, be silent for 5 minutes, and then sigh and “I, you know, what I think...”. He will tell you the whole course of philosophy, and then he will also express his opinion. I advise you to remain silent, not breathe loudly and listen carefully.

◇Law of the universe: if Sukuna is nearby, then with a 99% probability something will fall, break... Or maybe someone...

◇ Law of the universe: if Sukuna is nearby, then with a 99% probability something will fall, break, or break. Or maybe someone..

◇MAKE IT TO THE HIGH FASHION! He really knows how to dress with taste. You can’t tell from him, since Sukuna, like Tyler Durden, destroys everything, but he still understands art, aesthetics and style. And you will find out this in a completely unexpected way.

◇“Combining green and yellow in the interior? What squalor...”

“Mmm... Like Baroque”

◇Prefers dark and deep colors: black, burgundy, red, emerald, purple, ocher, etc.

◇ He loves Japanese painting on clothes, although most often he wears plain ones. But he has one or two kimonos. How is this painting technique... Yuzen?

◇Despite the fact that he has large hands and fingers, he has well-developed fine motor skills (a useful skill))

◇Doesn’t go to the GYM and makes fun of those who go there. Real men should knock out brains and teeth! (He just somehow saw that Gojo and Yuji’s change were going to the gym. That’s where it came from)

◇He, of course, could become some kind of powerlifter, since his physical capabilities allows it, but he doesn’t want to. Does he even want anything other than to kill and ruin the lives of others? (NO)

◇He met Kenjaku through Uraume

◇Sukuna calls Kenjaku a freak and a pervert (f*cked, to be more precise) because of his strange humor (Believe me, Sukuna is not far off, like...Kenjaku jokes about necr0philia, and Sukuna about cannibalism)

◇ I sleep and see: two grandfathers are sitting and trying to tell jokes. Only Uraume is unfunny...

◇Sukuna has some problems with sleep, and it doesn’t matter whether he sleeps a lot or a little, 3 hours or 12. He often dozes. (Sleepy kitty)

◇ Head from school: Sukuna had no friends at all before college, and there’s no point in talking about friends. One against all, all against one. In the last year of study, he changed place of study because he almost threw a classmate out of the window, and he also received a concussion.

◇He hated team games. Do you get upset when you are accused of playing poorly and causing your team to lose? Pf. In the first few games, Sukuna deliberately threw the ball anywhere, and he himself took it away from his team, passing it to another. And it makes no difference which team.

◇ He was not respected, he was feared. And rightly so, they were afraid. He could really kill

◇In fact, his social skills are poorly developed, he simply does not consider it necessary. In college, he got involved with Uraume, and that was enough for him. Cosy.

◇By the way, according to the canon there is no wife or children, it’s the same story. We must pay tribute - he did not touch women, unless he killed them when it was necessary for “work”. Sukuna himself is a very attractive man, but 85% of women were afraid of him, the remaining 15% tried to somehow flirt with him, start communicating, but Sukuna 🤨❓️ then showed such contempt that these women developed complexes for the rest of their lives.

◇ He never took call women (prost|tute), he is above that. He generally has the vibe “woman, keep your hands to yourself”, “don’t embarrass yourself” ◇ He can respect you if:

A) You are very smart

B) You are very strong

C) A and B together

He will definitely praise you if he finds you something interesting about you and your business (unless you are Yuji)

◇You can challenge him, just don’t be too stubborn, keep silent again, otherwise your new accessory will become a crutch.

◇I remembered the phrase of one man: “It doesn’t matter whether you are a woman or a man, I will beat you the same way.” This is he.

◇HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE. This is a constant. Will never take responsibility for another person. The only thing he will do is solve Uraume's problems, or just see how people cope. Independence is the key to a good relationship with Sukuna.

◇Content is content, but let's be honest, according to the canon, Sukuna is a very selective frame. This one is boring and not interesting, but this one is weak, and this one is annoying. In general, you won't please. I don't believe that Sukuna could fall in love with someone at all. It's amazing how most of the people here portray him in fanfiction. Well, he wouldn’t start this “subdue and rule” thing, he would immediately take your head off your shoulders. You should be on an equal footing with him, if not superior. Of course, he will fight for dominance, but he definitely values both physical and mental strength. In this regard, absolutely adequate and objective. The most important thing is to have something to praise for. And when someone crawl on their knees in front of him...Why the hell do you doing, you rag? We figured it out.

◇ At one time he used headphones very often, almost 24/7. Moreover, he turned it on purely for the background, without any purpose.

◇In general, he has no goals, only a path. And he does the right thing.

◇Frequent periods of “I don’t want anything, I won’t do anything.”

◇He has 2 states: either he does nothing AT ALL, sits on his ass, or he is a nightmare to everything and everyone.

◇He knows how to speak civilly, but only during some important negotiations. He himself is taciturn, sometimes he makes some obscene remarks. But once every few months he can give out some beautiful poetic remark. You hit the jackpot (“Moonlight helps me to see better how pathetic you are.” Oh, what a romantic)

◇He doesn’t like sweets, but it seems to me that he would like oriental sweets..Turkish delight)

◇A fan of Japanese and Kazakh food

◇He smells of "oldspice", heavy cologne, tobacco and sweat.

◇If he were an animal, he would definitely be a tiger. One big cat. Predatory, but with grace. Just like that.

◇He rarely responds to messages, but if he does, he gives out such a bunch of text, just so that you get tired of reading it all. He writes very quickly. But then again, in real life he's just quiet and grumpy.

◇A bunch of bad habits. It’s just one bad habit (but we’re not going to give it up, right?)

◇Gege Akutami once mentioned that he liked the performance of K-POP group MAMAMOO, in particular, Hwasa was the main shock. In short, if Yuji likes Jennifer Lawrence, then Sukune’s fatal luxury is Hwasa (I just really love this woman myself). He doesn’t listen to K-pop, he just likes her (hips don’t lie, friends..)

◇He would listen to either rock/heavy metal. I can also bet on darkwave, experimental, or maybe something with traditional Japanese motifs. Or maybe even a classic. Who knows..

◇He constantly carries all sorts of chewing gum with him.

◇It seems to me that he is one of those very people to whom you will say: “I went *somewhere*”, will not glance at you, and will remain sitting on the sofa. But after 30 minutes of your journey you will feel that something is wrong..(he is trailing behind you). Cause? He's bored.

◇ His main mission in life is to scare people until their hearts stop. No, just imagine: you’re standing in the kitchen, not bothering anyone, and suddenly a 2-meter big guy squints and slowly picks up a knife. And then he begins to walk towards you with a medium step. Your actions? (Spoiler: subway surf begins) And for realism, it will even leave a cut on your back. <33333 I luv this man sm

◇He clearly has some kind of jokes with physical contact. Pinches, pokes. Bruises are guaranteed.

◇110% organized all sorts of underground fight clubs.

That's all. The fantasy is over. I caught the cringe and laughed. It was fun and enjoyable.

Thanks

Thoughts on the latest episode of BUCCHIGIRI?! aka the biggest game-changer of all time

*WARNING: SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 6*

- Starts off with Arajin running away from NG Boys. But then of course, Senya in his chibi form is excited about the prospect of the all-out gang war.

- OUTA IS ALIVE! OUTA IS ALIVE! But he just has an injured leg and sadly can’t participate but still… OUTA IS ALIVE!

- We got some backstory on Outa and Marito. Apparently, they are renowned in middle school for beating all the gangs in Honki City. Also I kinda had to do a double take and saw that this what Outa and Marito looks like in their first year? Wow do they look tall for 16-17 year old.

- Outa taking down a dude for trying to threaten him is goddamn hilarious because everyone already knew them yet some guy tried to challenge him only to prove futile.

- Marito looks completely different in the past in that he was pretty bored with the fights he previously had until one day both he and Outa witnessed the battle between the previous leader of Ikki Union and Kenichiro.

- This of courses sparked Marito’s interest in that he wants to battle Kenichiro but the latter was disinterested and it resulted in Marito being beaten by

- Later after the leader of Ikki Union graduated, the members pleaded for Marito and Outa to take over. But Marito is disinterested so Outa have to temporarily take over until Marito gains the will to fight.

- Outa then planned to have Marito fight by…taking on Kenichiro himself.

- Much later, it alerted everyone and even Marito’s. We later see Outa being beaten up by Kenichiro soundly and this of course sparks Marito’s interest in taking down Kenichiro therefore stepping up to be the leader of Ikki Union (all according to Outa’s keikkau lol)

- Back to the present, where we now have Kenichiro and Marito facing off against each other. All the while Mahoro begs for her beloved brother to stop.

- Arajin sneaked up on Mahoro and tried to escort her to safety because of the ongoing fight but Mahoro wouldn’t let him have it and was pretty annoyed with him to thee point she shouted to get them to stop.

- Arajin trying his damndest to get them to stop but it proved futile lol.

- Then of course, during the ensuing fight, the floor cracked and it knocked both of them out.

- Mahoro rushed over to her brother to check up on him. (along with some of the members of Minato Kai doing the same for Kenichiro) While Arajin tried to comfort her and proposed to call an ambulance, she gave off the coldest glare telling him that she’s through with him.

- This breaks Arajin that he just tried to exit out because of heartbreak. (Hard to feel sorry for him in this scene but then again….)

- NG Boys entered into the scene with Akutaro entering into the gang war. It was then everyone realized that they’ve been played like a fiddle by NG Boys and proceed to battle with each other. This then proceeds to have Minato Kai and Siguma Squad to team up (for once) to take down NG Boys together.

- Komao yelling at how he wants to avenge Zabu all the while the latter screamed ‘I’M STILL ALIVE!!!’ is another funny moment.

- Just as is Arajin exiting, he got called out by Senya for being a coward and leaving his friends but of course Arajin retorted that none of the gang members are his friends. This of course enraged Senya because he realized that Arajin’s doing it all just for a girl who is not interested in him.

- Then of course, Akutaro appeared and asked Arajin if he has Senya with him. Arajin got spooked out by how much Akutaro knows about him, oblivious to how Akutaro has Ichiya with him.

- The leader of the NG Boys proceeded to beat Arajin up to a pulp. Matakara witnessed what is happening and screamed for Arajin’s name before he got tackled by the other NG Boys and got distracted by the fight between them.

- Arajin lets himself get beaten up by Akutaro over and over with Senya begging Arajin to stand up and fight back. But to no avail, Arajin couldn’t which Akutaro proceeds to finish Arajin off by using his boots (with spikes installed no less).

- Much later, Akutaro then decided to fight off each and every one of the known members of Minato Kai and Siguma Squad. Like man, he beats Jabashiri, Hagure, Komao and Zabu like it was nothing. Damn…

- Matakara using whatever remaining of his strength goes up against Akutaro again but the latter uses his whip and using Ichiya’s assistance proceed to beat Matakara again (poor baby boi 🥺)

- The way how Akutaro sadistically using Kenichiro and Marito as playthings all up to the point they can’t fight back legit scared me like damn is he fucked up.

- Senya begged for Arajin to get up but the when Arajin saw what is happening esp to Matakara, he got flashbacks to what happened five years ago.

- Just as Akutaro was approaching the leaders, Mahoro stopped him in his tracks. Like Mahoro, the cute girly girl who has no fighting abilities, stopped the leader of NG Boys.

- Arajin, noticing what is happening, begged Mahoro to run but the latter refused to.

- Ok this one deserves a whole section of its own but this legit one of the badass moments in BUCCHIGIRI?! as a whole. Akutaro used his whip to attack Mahoro and how did Mahoro reacted? She barely felt a sting from it and all it resulted was one of her hair buns coming off. But she’s still standing.

- Ok I mean sure it was purely motivated out of her love for her brother but damn, you have to give this girl some credit where it’s due. She literally took Akutaro’s attack like it was nothing!

- Just as Akutaro decided to attack her, Arajin quickly rushed to the scene and defended her all the while the mark behind his backside started glowing, meaning his merge rate with Senya is increasing.

- It’s kind of cute how everyone from Minato Kai and Siguma Squad are cheering for Arajin to beat Akutaro for good and this of course has the former using the punch he did on the latter previously but this time it’s much more powerful and have more impact to the point that Akutaro’s face is bruised and knocked out for good.

- And of course, everyone cheered with the sun rising to reflect everyone’s mood. Outa is just standing there and smiling at the outcome of the gang war. Mahoro along with the rest of the Siguma members helping Marito up and Minato Kai doing the same.

- It’s kind of nice to see Arajin just smiling at Mahoro, despite being harshly rejected by her, meaning that maybe we are seeing signs of him changing.

- Oh my goodness! Matakara my sweet puppy came over to Arajin to congratulate him on his win. Like boi might’ve been beaten up, but he is an absolute angel.

- Of course, Arajin acted standoffish to him as always, but we do see an act of small kindness, when he noticed that his leg got injured badly, and offered to carry him back home.

- Much later, he got back home and Mrs Tomoshibi, noticing that her son is all bruised and tattered, gushed if he got into the fight which Arajin gets pretty annoyed at.

- In the last scene when washing off the dirts and wounds, Arajin asked Senya how did Akutaro know he was there with the red genie brushing it off as a coincidence.

- The mark on Arajin’s backside started to become more notciable and Senya feeling that Ichiya is much closer than expected.

- The epilogue where it flashed back to how Marito and Outa became leaders is pretty sweet on its own. Apparently, we now know where the name Siguma comes from. It came from taking the characters of the transliteration of ‘Single-Minded’.

- Honestly, that scene where Marito and Outa are on a ‘date’ of some sorts is pretty cute.

Anymore Lore on Liv x Ubba or King Fairhair?

So I’m gonna answer both of these.

More info below the cut!

Liv & Harald

Ship name: Livald. Haraliv.

Not my photo by the way

For King Harald Fairhair, this “relationship” was arranged by both their fathers years earlier.

This was arranged because Edmund owed Harald’s father (Halfdan the Black according to the AC wiki) a favor, and as a way to strengthen both their families since Edmund is an apparent relative to King Burgred (hence why he was considered a traitor to the crown for fleeing Mercia/England, and marrying a Norse woman).

When Liv escaped Kjotve the Cruel, she was visited by Harald, and brought up their arranged marriage.

“What are you talking about, Your Grace?.” she asks, confused as to why King Harald would give her the time and day to visit her. Especially after she escaped the hand of Kjotve after all the abuse and torture he and Gorm did to her.

“I apologize for my unannounced visit, milady.” he says, “I don’t know if this was explained to you, but I’m sure your father will explain it.”

Liv plays with the sleeve cuff of her dress, “My father died, a long time ago.”

“My apologies for your loss. Your mother?.” he asks in the most sincere voice.

“She died 72 moons ago. 6 years ago.” she answers nervously, she never knew how to use the whole “many moons” type of thing.

“I’m sorry about your parents, but many years ago, my father and yours made an arrangement for both our families.” he explains to her.

“What arrangement?.” she asks, awkwardly shifting away from him, but not making it noticeable.

“We are arranged to be married, to strengthen both our families because your father, Edmund, was related to the Mercia dynasty.”

Raising her eyebrows, she never knew this information about her father, but then he died when she was 6 years old, so she didn’t know him very well, her mother never mentioned it to her. Unknown if she knew of this arrangement.

“My father? I- I didn’t know any of this. I've never been told about this.” she tells him, feeling like she was on the verge of crying. She started to feel overwhelmed, and Harald saw this. “Marry me, and you won’t have to be scared. You’ll always be protected, and you will be my queen.” he tells her, taking her hands in his. He has this gentle look in his eyes, but it seemed kinda off.

In a way, Liv did believe him, but she wanted to see it to believe it. She reluctantly agreed to take his hand and marry him. But this was just a plot for her to plan her next escape, if given the chance before she was married to him.

***********

Liv & Ubba

Ship name: Libba. Lubba. Livba

They met at a feast held by the Raven clan, Liv isn’t one to be social. She's an introvert. She's one to stand in the corner of the room and watch everyone else have fun. That's her way of having fun.

The drunkards making fools of themselves dancing, eating and singing very loudly. Celebrating very loudly. He approached her, as she was trying not to be seen, but who can miss her with 3 foxes by her side, and her bright copper hair. Not to mention, her lack of tattoos, her long beautiful dresses, and not looking like a viking, but having the mentality of one.

As he approaches her, she tries to not acknowledge him, but not wanting to be rude she gives him a smile. Drinking her mead, and looking down at her furry companions.

“Having fun?.” he asks her, leaning against the wall. Giving her a slight smile, how this man is Ivarr’s brother is beyond Liv’s knowledge. He’s handsome, tall. Taller than her by many, he towers over her and with his big build.

“Yeah, I am.” she responds, giving a smile back.

“Not gonna dance?.” he asks her, a hint of flirtatious in his tone, probably because he's been drinking, and probably wants to get with Liv.

“I’m not much of a dancer.” she tells him, feeling a little embarrassed. Looking away from him.

He lets out a laugh that can’t be heard over the sound of everyone else singing, laughing, and being loud in general. “Neither are these drunken fools.” he tells her as she finishes off her mead and sets down the cup. Finishing her 3rd cup. Feeling a little tipsy and very social.

“I don’t think they will remember anything tonight.” she tells him, feeling the mead hit her as she starts to move a little closer to Ubba. “They’re only good singers when they’re drowning in their mead.”

He takes her hand, “Dance with me.” Unable to protest against him, she follows him, not like she has any choice, she joins him and the others in the group dance of drunks. She had a great time, standing in the corner got a little boring anyway. Dancing and laughing with the members of the Raven clan.

Ubba lifted her up a few times in mid-dance, neither of them could remember, but according to Tove and Petra, Liv and Ubba did share a kiss that was interrupted by Ivarr, and his drunken state.

there are other abduction cases involving the mutilation of animals by beings that don’t look like the cat-eyed beings. In fact, what appear to be the Controllers of smaller entities are often tall humanoids, sometimes seen in long, white robes, even with hoods over their heads. Government documents have described smaller beings referred to as “extraterrestrial biological entities,” or EBEs, and another group called the “Talls.” Some people in the human abduction syndrome think the EBEs and the Talls are at war with each other — but not with bullets. The impression is that these E. T.s war through deceptive mind control and manipulation of time lines.

Perhaps deception and time warps are why there is so much confusion in the high strangeness of encounters with Other Intelligences, the variety of non-human physical appearances, and lack of consistent communication by the entities about who they are, where they are from, and why they are on planet Earth lifting people from cars and bedrooms, or animals from backyards and pastures in beams of light.

While Judy Doraty’s May 1973 encounter with her teenage daughter near a pasture outside Houston, Texas, involved the cat-eyed beings and mutilation of a calf on board the craft in front of Judy, there was another abduction experience seven years later in the first week of May 1980 near a Cimarron, New Mexico, pasture.Purple map pointer marks Cimarron, New Mexico, northwest of Taos. Santa Fe and Los Alamos are marked by larger red circles in lower left of map while all the other red circles mark places of multiple animal mutilations in the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation, Dulce, Chama, Espanola, Questa, Taos, Las Vegas and Raton, New Mexico. Across the northern border into Colorado, other red circles at multiple mutilation sites are in Pagosa Springs, Alamosa, Walsenburg and Trinidad. The first worldwide-reported mutilation case was a mare named Lady found in September 1967, near Alamosa, Colorado, dead and stripped of flesh from the chest up and all the chest organs surgically removed.Lady, a 3-year-old Appaloosa mare, owned by Nellie and Berle Lewis, who had a ranch in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado near Alamosa. Lady was found September 8, 1967, dead and bloodlessly stripped of flesh from the neck up. All her chest organs had also been “surgically” removed, according to John Altshuler, M. D. who examined the mutilated horse. Lady’s hoof tracks stopped about 100 feet southeast of her body where it looked like she had jumped around in a circle as if trying to escape something. There were no tracks around Lady’s body, but 40 feet south of her was a broken bush. Around the bush was a 3-foot-diameter circle of 6 or 8 holes in the ground about 4 inches across and 3 to 4 inches deep. Photograph taken three weeks after Lady’s death by Don Anderson.

Part 2: Hall of Mirrors with A Quicksand Floor

“The brightest, whitest light I’ve ever seen. How can it fly like that? What is it? Oh, I’m scared. How can they be doing that — killing that cow? It’s not even dead! It’s alive!”

– Female abductee at cattle mutilation site, Cimarron, NM, May 1980

Return to Part 1.

But there are other abduction cases involving the mutilation of animals by beings that don’t look like the cat-eyed beings. In fact, what appear to be the Controllers of smaller entities are often tall humanoids, sometimes seen in long, white robes, even with hoods over their heads. Government documents have described smaller beings referred to as “extraterrestrial biological entities,” or EBEs, and another group called the “Talls.” Some people in the human abduction syndrome think the EBEs and the Talls are at war with each other — but not with bullets. The impression is that these E. T.s war through deceptive mind control and manipulation of time lines.

Perhaps deception and time warps are why there is so much confusion in the high strangeness of encounters with Other Intelligences, the variety of non-human physical appearances, and lack of consistent communication by the entities about who they are, where they are from, and why they are on planet Earth lifting people from cars and bedrooms, or animals from backyards and pastures in beams of light.

The following excerpts are from May 1980 hypnosis sessions with a young boy and his mother who saw humanoids mutilating a cow in a Cimarron pasture followed by an abduction of them both. The hypnosis sessions began on May 11, 1980, when Leo Sprinkle, Director of Counseling and Testing at the University of Wyoming, received a phone call from scientist Paul Bennewitz, who was investigating the mother and son abduction for the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization (APRO).

Let’s Talk Boys Planet | Elimination 2

The second round of eliminations is finally over. We’ll go through the top 9 and then a few other contestants that deserve some attention (good or bad).

#1 Hanbin – I mean, nothing new to see here. Will he pull a Cai Xukun and be center, place first throughout the entire competition and then be center and first place again? Probably and honestly I don’t blame people for it.  If we have to compare to PDX (we don’t have to but I want to), I think Yohan was a bit more charismatic but Hanbin is overall more well rounded, but Yohan had been a trainee for a very short period of time back then.

#2 Zhag Hao – I mean, the centers be centering idk. He is very good, and does his best always. I think he will look great in the final group.

#3 Yujin – I have no doubt he will debut and I honestly think he did a good job in Law, where did that low voice of his even came from? However, his mental health really concerns me. I don’t know how much of the way he acts is him being an introvert (and this kind of environment doesn’t helpt at all) and how much is because that stupid judge decided that it would be a good idea do talk a fucking teenager like he was a 35 year old man. I hope that as time goes on and he realizes how talented he is, his confidence will come back. I know a lot of people are against him debuting because he is so young but honestly most people don’t actually give a shit, if they did Wonyoung wouldn’t have debuted in Izone, Dohyung wouldn’t have debuted in X1, Somi wouldn’t have been in I.O.I and so many others that didn’t go through a reality show like this. People are making a big deal out of it but they don’t actually care.  And let’s be clear, once the show is over and he does make the cut, people will not say “I won’t stan this group because he is too young”. I bet whatever you guys want that in less than six months someone will have written filthy smut with him as the main character and will sexualize everything he does. So please, don’t be hypocrites, if you don’t like him just say so, okay?

#4 Matthew – I like him, I was voting for him but I’m not crazy over him. The second I had to drop someone from my voting list he was the first one to go. This doesn't mean that he is bad, it just means that he doesn’t do it for as much as he does for other people.

#5 Jiwoong - Like I said before, sometime I am a basic bitch. Comparing to PDX (we don’t have to but we will), Jiwoong gives me very much Wooseok vibes, in the sense that he looks very cold and sometimes it makes me wonder if he even wants to be there. He isn’t the best singer but he’s a good dancer in the idol form not like a dancer, dancer. In these few last episodes we were able to see some of his personality and he longer seems to cosplay Elsa.

#6 Gyuvin – Sometimes the basic bitch doesn’t get it, okay? I don’t personally think that he is handsome, he hardly sings in the songs that he was given, and he is an okay dancer I think. I can’t even remember which song he chose in the second round (after much though, like 2 whole minutes, I remembered that he was in Love Killa). So, again, comparing to PDX, he gives Jungmo vibes but with a Minhee lookalike face.

#7 Taerae – I knew that was going to make it into the top 9 and I’m sure he won’t be getting out of it at all, Koreans do love him and he deserves it. He is such a good singer. His voice is so calming and beautiful and he has the sweetest smile. Him and Keita were the only one who made into top 9 without any benefits and that’s very hot of them.

#8 Keita – dude is outstanding. He can sing, can dance, can rap, is super talented (YG is a dumb bitch). Apparently his only negative point, according to Kntez, is the fact that he isn’t tall but he love a short king. I don’t how much his rank will fluctuate now that we can only vote for 3 people but I hope he can debut because Rain is basically selling his group out.

#9 Gunwook – HE MADE IT!! By a short margin, almost didn’t, but he’s here. I hope he stays here and doesn’t go anywhere at all. I love him so much, from the first episode. It seems that Mnet wants him debut so I’m assuming that he will get a lot of positive editing in the next episodes so try and get him to rank higher. People think that he is scary but he is actually just a giant baby who knows that he is good GOOD. The fact that he gets in the top 9, if we just consider the Korean votes, makes me really happy and hope that there’s a chance of him making it.

And now onto the trainees that didn’t made it but I want to mention:

Hui – I called it in my last post, he dropped and he won’t be getting back up. I have a feeling that since the Hyuna and Dawn thing people have a personal vendetta against Pentagon and the members, Hui most of all. I remember how during RTK all the other groups voted for Pentagon but their votes were actually very low when it came from the audience. So yeah, he is great but he won’t make it here. I hope he can debut solo, for real, and have everyone by the balls like B.I did with BTBT.

Jongwoo – I decided to give him my third vote even though he didn’t make it the first and second round. Dude is crazy good, a born leader (I loved to see him chewing up Ma Jing Xian’s ass, that guys really need a wake up call and that was so hot of him). I hope he is the dark horse of the season. From the current top 9, I would take out Gyuvin and get him up there, but realistic he is probably against Gunwook which makes me nervous. I guess it’s a good think that I’m voting for both of them.

Shuaibo – Please tell me what you guys see in this dude, PLEASE. When I said that I don’t get the hype Gyuvin it wasn’t hate, I don’t get it but I accept it. With this guy is pure hate. Like, I watched his fancams and I don’t get it. He half asses everything. HE WANTED Feel Special, he chose it from the started, said it was the only song he wanted, and then proceeded to boycott his own team. Woongi carried the whole performance on his own and for some reason Shuaibo still placed first, still placed higher than Woongi the overall rank. You can’t say that you’re voting for him because he is handsome, because he is not. So what the hell is it? Is it pitty because he didn’t make it to the chinese show is was part of of? TELL ME WHAT IT IS! People say that he is great but I’m yet to see anything from him. He is low-average at best. My hate comes from the fact that he is trying to be in a group but he is not a team player and he doesn’t even try to hide it. I saw people commenting on the fact that that Mnet always cuts his speeches but honestly, thank god. He ranks this high being bad and having a bad edit on his back, imagine what he would do if he could have a single chance to do anything that isn’t hateful.

Wang Zihao – He has no chance of making it into the group. Mnet hates him, dude never even got a mic during the recordings but he is sooooooo good. H was someone I paid attention to during Kill This Love and then again in Law. Mnet, you piece of shit. H will probably be eliminated in the next round since he had very little votes in Korea (the lowest of them all 30k only) but I still want to see him kick some ass in the next round.

My three votes for this round go to Gunwook, Jiwoong and Jongwoo.

It’s really interesting to see how much the ranks change if you take into consideration only the Korean votes or only the Global votes. One of them has 5 global trainees and the other one only has 2. Any wild guesses?

I guess that’s all I had to say. I’m looking forward to see which song will be the song of the season, like U Got I and Move were for Produce X. The song that the group will carry with them once the show is over.

I talked so much about X1 and PDX in this post. I’m going to hate myself but I’ll go back and watch of the performances again.

Tag game - Get to Know You

Thank you for tagging me, @jerzwriter!

Alright, here I go with TMI about me nobody asked for! Sorry in advance! lol

Are you named after someone?

Not that I know of. Apparently my grandma wanted my parents to name me after her (Růžena), but thankfully they didn’t listen, lol. Not that it’s a bad name!

When was the last time you cried?

I don’t even remember. I almost never cry.. Usually only cry when I’m watching something (or listening to a song) where a beloved character or an animal dies.. Though I guess every few years the bottled up emotions overflow and anything can trigger the waterworks.. But I’m pretty sure the last time I cried was because of a TV show, but I really don’t remember which one it was and when (especially since I didn’t have much time to watch anything lately, lol)

Do you have kids?

No. I’m a two time aunt, that’s more than enough, lol.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Probably too much sometimes, lol

What colour are your eyes?

I always said Blue and green, but I think they’re mainly gray.

Scary Movies or happy endings?

I rarely watch scary movies (as in slashers)... I mean, if they’re on TV, I leave them on as a background noise.. But if we count movies like Sleepy Hollow, Interview with the Vampire etc as scary movies, then I would probably pick those.. But I prefer a happy ending in everything I watch!

Any special talents?

None that I know of. Other than maybe annoying people around me, lol.

Where were you born?

In a hospital in the town nearest to my hometown. Funny story about that (at least it’s funny to me, lol): The town I live in doesn’t have a hospital, so everyone from here was born in that nearest hospital, so I never thought ynthing of it.. Only to find out YEARS later that my parents only moved here when I was 6 months old! That my mom just happened to be in this town at her mother-in-law’s at that moment!

What are your hobbies?

Reading, watching TV shows and sports (tennis, snooker, ice hockey), foreign languages..

Do you have any pets?

I have a dog. But he lives at my mom’s so I don’t get to see him as often anymore..

What sports do you/have you played?

Edit: I left Elsa's anwer here by mistake! Sorry! 🤦‍♀️😅 So here's my answer..

I used to play tennis as a kid (because my sister attented a lesson, so I wanted to do it too), according to my mother I sucked.. But in my mother's eyes I suck at everything, so who knows, lol.

How tall are you?

I’m tiny. 157, 5 cm.. I’m not googling in the feet and inches again.. it was under 5 ft 2 in, i believe, lol

Favorite subject in school?

I always liked Czech (just the grammar though) and chemistry later on. Also back in 2007 when I was 16 and obsessed with German bands (yeah, yeah, yeah, mainly Tokio Hotel, I admit it! lol. But also Nevada Tan/Panik!, Cinema Bizzare and Killerpilze), I put extra effort into the German classes, lol. BECAUSE I saw a Tokio Hotel interview (or maybe it was just the twins? doesn’t matter, lol) and I was just thinking “Man, I’ve been learning German since the 3rd grade and I barely understand 3 sentences.. This is fucking embarrassing! I need to do something about that!” and (mainly thanks to German fanfic writers, lol) I was speaking fluently in no time! I really need to brush up on it agin, hopefully it’s still in there somewhere..

Great, now I’ve listened to “Ich bin nicht ich” at least 30 times over the past two days.. And 20 times to “Totgeliebt”.. HELP ME!!

Still love it, though.. And I must still have that DVD (and CD) somewhere, lmfao..

And since I’m off the topic anyway (I’M SORRY, but I did warn you, lol), can I just say that I still find it funny that my teen crush is now married to Heidi Klum? Who would have thought almost 16 years ago, lol? Shit, where did all that time go? 😭

Dream job?

Hmm, if I had unlimited supply of money amd could have done anything I wamted to, I would wanna try translating - combing reading and use of foreign languages.. I think that would be great!

Alright, that was fun! Sorry everyone who read my dumb answers, lol

Who else might wanna do this? I’m gonna tag @she-x-wolf​ (feel free to ignore, of course!)

Better Things Yet To Come

(but darling, misfortune always has to arrive first)

Four superheroes in the city of Cyrin, a gilded and fantastical city full of exalted and wondrous powers, according to any outsider you asked. To the locals, it’s a city with destruction around every corner, villains rearing their heads in an attempt at building a reputation, and fighting daily. And if you asked the heroes…they’d say that it’s a city that has been their home for years on end and, deep inside them, they feel a need to protect it. But if you were to take a closer look at them, you’d see the heavy burden on their shoulders, for, ultimately, Cyrin is not a city without its prices.

Chapter Three: Tock

a meeting

⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼⎼

“—and I was like, ‘Todd, you’re hallucinating, literally nothing happened on that night. But he keeps going on and on about how he saw it happen, he swears, but there was no body found when he went to check! No blood, no weapon, the camera footage showed nothing, but he still thinks he saw a murder! It’s kind of concerning.”

Virgil nodded along to his coworker’s story, mindlessly making a drink. 

“Hot chocolate for Deckland,” he called out, seeing somebody shuffle to the front and grab their beverage, and he only bothered to remember their light-ish colored hair as he tuned back in to whatever Haisley was saying. 

“Was anybody reported missing the next day?” Virgil asked absently, already starting on the next drink.

“No! And that’s what’s fucking crazy, and by ‘what’s’ I mean Todd, because he is going insane! Like,” she let out a laugh, “what kind of crime has nothing leading back to it?” 

“A cold case?”

“Nah, this is different.”

Virgil just hummed indifferently, but as he was putting on the lid of the drink, the door to the coffee shop opened, revealing a tall figure with blonde hair, brown and green eyes, a burn mark on the left side of their face, and a smug fucking smile that made Virgil want to punch him immediately. 

Janus fucking Drewitt, just the man Virgil never wanted to see again. 

He heard a crunch noise from his hand and looked down, seeing the lid of the cup completely mangled. They gently set it down, hands shaking, and turned to Haisley. 

“Um, hey, could you cover for me for the rest of my shift? I’m really sorry, but I just remembered I have a…doctor’s appointment I have to get to, it completely slipped my mind.”

Haisley sighed, “Whatever, fine, but you owe me one. And you have to say you believe me and not Todd!” 

Virgil forced a smile, “I believe you, not Todd.” 

Haisley nodded, satisfied, and shooed him off. 

Virgil forced himself to walk away calmly, hanging up his apron, but once he was out of sight, they booked it through the back door. 

“Fucking bastard, why does he always have to turn up when I never want to see him, which is goddamn always—"

“Well, it is nice to see you think so highly of me,” a voice called out from the alley next to the Golden Roast. 

Virgil was in the middle of shoving their arms through his jacket and almost dropped it, jumping 6 feet in the air before landing, a dent in the concrete where his feet now stood. 

“Leave me alone, Janus,” he snapped, shoving his hands in his pockets and turning away. Janus smoothly stepped in front of them, giving them a smirk.

“That’s no way to treat an old friend. Come on, Virgil, won’t you give your oldest accomplice a hug?” 

“Fuck off, Jan. I told you, I’m done with you and your whole…deal. I’m out, and I’ve been out for years. I don’t know why you feel the need to show your face now, but go back to skulking in the shadows or whatever the fuck it is you do.” 

“Why do you automatically assume I’m here to persuade you to do something? I can’t just be here for a chat?” Janus raised an eyebrow, eyes gleaming mischievously.

“Cut the bullshit,” Virgil said flatly.

“Ugh, you’re no fun,” Janus dropped any fun pretense he had been keeping up. 

“Janus.”

“Fine! Listen, I know you told us your whole spiel about how you’re done and whatnot and you’re gonna do better things, butttt, consider this. Remus and I are planning a heist. A big heist. And we’re kind of being looked for right now, not anything serious, but we got spotted last time and it kind of fucked us over. Just a bit. So! We, mainly me, had the absolutely brilliant idea of bringing you back in! We like to operate in the shadows, and part of your whole deal is shadows, so it’s practically perfect. And it has the added bonus of never seeing us again after this heist. Just one. Last. Heist. That’s it.”

Virgil was quiet for a long moment, and from a few blocks away, passerby would see clouds gathering and casting a shadow, the ominous rumbling of thunder reverberating throughout the city. 

He stepped into Janus’s space, jabbing a finger into their chest. 

“I am done with both of your guys’ stupid bullshit you try to rope me back into. I’m not helping you with this heist, and I’m not helping you again. Ever. You say that if I do this I’ll never see you again? Try something fucking new, Janus. You’re getting predictable. Take your deal and shove it up your ass,” Virgil jabbed his finger into Janus’ chest again, “When I said I was done, I goddamn meant it. You don’t get to try and bring me back when you aren’t even remotely sorry for how you treated me. You and Remus. So fucking leave.” 

Janus looked shocked, his perfectly crafted mask of indifference for once slipping away into genuine astonishment. 

“Virge—"

“Don’t,” Virgil warned lowly.

“Please just—"

“Don’t! Janus, I swear to any fucking deity out there that if you don’t leave right now, I’m going to freak the fuck out.”

Out of reflex, Janus instinctively took a step forward at those words, reaching out a hand. Virgil jerked back, stumbling over his feet to stay out of arm’s reach. Janus’ face pinched and his hand fell limply to his side.

They nodded tightly, once, before turning away. 

His appearance slipped into a man with brown hair and stubble and grey eyes, a button up and slacks replacing the turtleneck and overcoat they had previously been wearing. He looked side to side before stepping out of the alley, walking off into the streets until Virgil could no longer see him. His shoulders sagged immediately, a long breath escaping him.

“Motherfucker!” Virgil cursed under his breath, leaning his forehead against the brick wall of the building next to the coffee shop. He felt the urge to punch something, scream, cry, collapse on the floor, just do something, and before he had registered it, they had raised a hand to punch the wall. 

A very specific memory of the last time he let his powers get out of control flashed through his mind and he forcefully unclenched his fist, letting it fall against their side. 

Virgil muttered, “Fucking bitch,” with his head still leaned against the brick wall.

a/n: look. look at them. idiots i swear

[thevoiceinyourheadx]

@wheresarizona you tag me? In a...thing? An actual non taglist thing? 🥹🥹 You absolutely made my day! ❤️

Honestly I am waaaay too excited about this 😂 but I feel like a real member of the community now! 🥹

1. are you named after anyone?

Kinda? I was almost named after a medieval queen, because my mum is a huge history nerd, but apparently my nan vetoed it. (Kinda glad she did, because there were at least 6 other girls with that name in my year) So I ended up with a less common version. And my middle names (I have too many...) are all after family members

2. when was the last time you cried?

I mean, I came pretty close when I was tagged to do this (because I have no friends 😅).

But the last time I cried was yesterday (because I have no friends 😭 let's just say the covid years have not been kind to me)

3. do you have kids?

I have a fur baby! But no human children

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

Me? Never!

5. what’s the first thing you notice about people?

I'd say it's probably people's facial expression, or their eyes

6. what’s your eye colour?

I have two tone eyes - blue with a green ring inside! I'm very fond of my eyes

7. scary movies or happy endings?

I am a baby, so happy endings all the way. My anxiety way too high for scary movies and life already sucks, so let's see some Happily Ever Afters, thank you!

8. any special talents?

Figuring out the twist in movies 🤣 Part of the reason I love Glass Onion so much is that I DIDN'T figure out the big twist before it was revealed

9. where were you born?

I’m tempted to put the actual name of the suburb I was born, because it's hilarious, but it’s also very specific...So let’s just go with I was born in Sydney, Australia - and you can look up funny Australian place names if you want to know why I love them so much!

10: what are your hobbies?

Reading, embroidery, reading, watching history videos, reading, writing stories I never finish...

11. have you any pets?

My kitty, Charlie, who I will talk your ears off about if given the chance. He was a rescue baby who I bottle fed and he now follows me around like a puppy.

12: what sports do you play/have you played?

According to my high school transcript, volleyball 😂 (we didn’t have a volleyball team?) I DID play field hockey, however, and my team was responsible for two new rules having to be implemented in one season 😅

13: how tall are you?

Uh...163cm, I think? I honestly can’t remember the last time I measured myself

14. favourite subject in school?

Science! Especially when it involved chemicals. My teacher once told the class to NEVER put magnesium in an open flame...guess what I did two minutes later? 😅 13-year-old me could NOT be left unsupervised.

15. dream job?

Does crazy cat lady count? Honestly, at this stage I don’t have a dream job - I just want to chill in a cottage in a forest with my 17 various pets, reading and doing crafts

So I'm not going to tag anyone because my anxiety makes me think I'm annoying everyone 🙃 and I'm just going to post this before I overthink it anymore 😂

Jenelle Evans and David Eason have split…and now the former Teen Mom 2 lovers are blowing up the phone lines of their local sheriffs’ office!

The Ashley can exclusively confirm that officers made several trips to Jenelle’s home on The Land last week, to deal with “family issues” going on between her and David. 

According to one police incident report exclusively obtained by The Ashley, the fired ‘Teen Mom 2’ star called the cops on March 6 to report that David had taken important things like her drivers license, wallet and credit cards on February 28 and was still refusing to return the items to her.

According to the police report, Jenelle stated that a crime of larceny had been committed against her, being that her credit/debit cards, wallet, drivers license and other miscellaneous cards were stolen from her and being held hostage. While David isn’t specifically named as the offender on the report, the offender is listed as a 35-year-old white male who is a resident. (For the record, David is currently 35.)

In another police incident report from last month, police came to The Land to deal with what was labeled non-violent “Family Offenses.” While the details of those alleged crimes were redacted from the report, the suspect is once again listed as a 35-year-old white male, who is 6 feet, 6 inches tall, and a resident. 

Interestingly, for this offense, the officer checked that the crime was suspected to be a “hate/bias-motivated” crime.

Both of those incidents are listed as “active.” 

Over the weekend, Jenelle stated that David has been harassing her since she filed for separation in late February, even mentioning that her former swampy soulmate had been taking her things. 

“I’m just gonna sit here and continue to mind my own business, take care of my kids,” Jenelle said on TikTok. “He can continue to harass me, try to show up to my house every day with cops, text me horrible mean texts everyday, take my things. The list goes on and on and on what nobody knows and I’m not here to just spew everything either.”

It appears that David did call the police on Jenelle at least once over the past several weeks. According to the incident reports, David asked cops to assist with him trying to get some of his scuba/boat equipment, as well as his motorcycle and other items back from The Land. (The Ashley hears that David had to surrender Jenelle’s vehicle that he was driving but was allowed to take his old truck with him.) 

As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle filed for legal separation from David late last month. In her filing, Jenelle provided a laundry list of reasons she wants out of her marriage to David, including what she claims is “concerning and disturbing behavior” spurred by his “excessive alcohol use”; his habit of excessively spending her money (because he refuses to work); and drinking and driving on the regular, to name just a few things.

Jenelle also pointed out that David cost her income from numerous jobs (including her job on ‘Teen Mom 2’) and that her standing by him has “degraded her public image.” (Click here to read a breakdown of the legal separation paperwork.) 

In order to obtain a divorce in North Carolina, though, Jenelle and David will have to prove that they have lived separately for one year. (David has been living on the couple’s broken boat since last month, while Jenelle and her kids are living on The Land.)

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2005): Introduction

Ladies. Gentlemen and Others, welcome, to the Doom WADs’ Roulette, where I review the best WADs according to Doomworld’s Top 100 WADs of All Times and (now) Cacowards. Today, we are starting to check out top WADs of 2005. Here are the rules:

#1 We are playing on GZDoom (ver.4.9.0 4.10.0).

#2 We are playing on Hurt Me Plenty.

#3 Vertical aiming is on.

#4 No infinitely tall monsters.

#5 The WAD will be downloaded from the archives unless it’s not there among other reasons.

#6 We are playing WADs shown on a Doomworld roster from top to bottom in that order.

#7 Lighting is set on Legacy.

#8 Deathmatch WADs and the winners of the Worst WAD award do not count.

Welcome to 2005, people! I’m officially a ten years old, snotty brat at this point. YouTube became a thing. Another space probe was sent (this time on Titan). And I just ran out of anything interesting from this year as for the general stuff.

From the gaming side, Resident Evil 4 changed its franchise’s formula, God of War introduced us to Kratos, Call of Duty 2 was probably when WWII shooters peaked, and I didn’t even mention Psychonauts until now.

As for Doom, the expansion for Doom 3 titled Resurrection of Evil was released, along with Doom RPG for phones, a movie based on the franchise (you know, the one with Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban), and also there was also expansion set for the Doom Board game who gives a shit about it. 2005 was also a year when the Doomwiki kickstarted.

It was also a year when Adrian Carmack sued id Software for forcing him out of the company.

For the WADs, there were released at least three new, big source ports. PrBoom+, GZDoom (which I use, of course), and Chocolate Doom (for people who want to play Doom as purely as possible without fighting DOS).

Cacowards 2005 were again mainly hosted by Scuba Steve like the first one. Alongside the ten winners, there were also two Runners-Up but no Honorable Mention; we will have to wait a couple of years before they return. This ceremony also hosted the WAD Scramble, where you had to guess the name of the popular by that time WADs (I guessed like three of these – WOW, Fava Beans, and Mordeth) alongside kickstarting the anniversary celebration of Action Doom, and pointing out that Mordeth and Millennium weren’t finished (this section would be later extended with other WADs alongside the sequels to the popular ones).

Like with the previous year, we will begin the 2005 roster with WADs that weren’t even considered runners-up AKA the Bronze League. There are two WADs (or rather should I say maps) in this league: the Mordeth Award map, and this year’s exclusive What The Hell? award (I’m not counting the Mockaward winner because it was also one of the ten best WADs).

And we will kick things off with the latter map.

Gray Wing’s Passage

If you have been scrolling at all recently through any Warrior Cat based Social Media or just looking through the fandom in general, you have probably noticed a reoccurring theme. Most influencers in this fandom and even your average artists and writers have been creating artwork, stories, videos and more celebrating the 20th anniversary of Warriors. As of 2023, Warrior Cats is officially 20 years old with the first book ever of the series “Into the Wild” being published January 21, 2003. In that span of time, 6 other arcs; The New Prophecy, Power of Three, Omen of the Stars, Vision of Shadows, The Broken Code and A Starless Clan have been written and released. Similarly countless super editions such as Firestar’s Quest, Skyclan’s Destiny, Yellowfang’s Secret, Tallstar’s Revenge, Crookedstar’s Promise, Bluestar’s Prophecy, Moth Flight’s Vision, Hawkwing’s Journey, Crowfeather’s Trial, Squirrelflight’s Hope, Leopardstar’s Honor, Onestar’s Confession and many more have been published. Countless novellas also, such as Redtail’s Debt, Tree’s Roots, Leafpool’s Wish, Spottedleaf’s Heart, Pinestar’s Choice, Goosefeather’s Curse, Mapleshade’s Vengeance, Tawnypelt’s Clan, Ravenpaw’s Farewell, Dovewing’s Silence, Hollyleaf’s Story have been written. You may have noticed however that I am leaving out an entire section of Warriors books, having to do with the clans’ history. Don’t fret! I haven’t forgotten and in fact, that arc and subsequent stories are the topic of the piece above.

For those unfamiliar, alongside the main series arc, the Erins published another arc that is considered to be a sequel to the main series. This set of 6 books aimed to tie up missing threads about the clans’ history and was the first books (other than field guides) to speak of the clans origin. The arc I’m hinting to is the ‘Dawn of the Clans’ arc. The first DOTC book, The Sun Trial, was released March 5, 2013, and followed a protagonist never before mentioned in previous books. This protagonist is actually the subject of the piece above; his name is Gray Wing. For context, I will give a quick summary of Gray Wing’s backstory and personality. ⚠️ Spoilers ahead for DOTC and similar novellas and super editions along with some of the field guides ⚠️ According to the Warriors Wiki, “Gray Wing was a member of Windstar's camp in the forest territories. He was born in the Ancient Tribe to Quiet Rain alongside his brother, Clear Sky. When Half Moon spoke of a new home, Gray Wing chose to stay behind; however, after his younger brother Jagged Peak left to follow the group, Gray Wing joined them on the journey. He stayed with Shadowstar's group on the moor and adopted his brother's orphaned son, Thunder. Realizing his brother had changed, Gray Wing cut ties with Clear Sky. Gray Wing and Turtle Tail became mates and he adopted her kits, Sparrow Fur, Pebble Heart, and Owl Eyes. Gray Wing was chosen to lead the group after Tall Shadow, though he decided to co-lead with her following his asthma he developed from a fire. Gray Wing eventually stepped down leading the group following a battle with Clear Sky, and mourned Turtle Tail's death deeply. He helped defeat One Eye and Slash by drawing out battlestrategies, and once his mother died, he left the pines to the moor and became mates with Slate, who had his kits, Black Ear, White Tail, and Silver Stripe. Due to his asthma, Gray Wing passed away after renaming the group to Clans. He ascended to StarClan, watching over his kin, and gave Windstar, Thunderstar, and Blackstar one of their nine lives.”

The scene depicted above, which actually has a speedpaint on YouTube (if you are interested, you can find the link here) was commissioned by a user called TheHeatRush on YouTube. It portrays Gray Wing’s passage to Starclan after his untimely death due to asthma. Honestly, Gray Wing’s death was extremely tragic as not only did he leave his mate who recently had his kits; he also left his brothers, nieces, nephews and adopted children behind. It’s kinda strange actually, as Warriors has kinda a questionable history with adoptions. In POT, when it is revealed that Squirrelflight adopted her sister’s kits, she is treated with disgust and hatred by most of the cats closet to her. Adoption in the main series is almost treated as being taboo and strange, with Thunder preferring to go with his biological father despite he [his father] abandoning Thunder at a young age. But, me and the rest of the team would love to know YOUR thoughts on this matter! Can you believe that Warriors is 20? What’s your opinion on the DOTC arc? What’s your thoughts on Gray Wing? Do you think this series treats adoption correctly? Leave all your thoughts, opinions and feedback in the comments below. Did you like the art style of this piece? If you did, consider leaving a like on the original post on Amino. Supporting the original artist directly benefits this account!

[reiayanamiisbestgirl]

technically she’s a genshin oc but Dottore and Pantalone is really just Bioshock condensed down to two people according to @genshinatemybrain so I’m sure she’ll feel right at home in rapture

She specializes in prosthetics and battlefield medicine. Im still working out her goals. My current ideas are that she wants to study teyvat through the lense of the limits of humanity. She also wants to leave the laboratory to be able to do this but as she makes prosthetic organs for dottore, she has to be on standby. She also wants to be seen as a good scientist by dottore, she def has those gifted kid vibes, so that she’ll be granted more privileges like being able to leave the lab. But she gets the authority to conduct her experiments by being in dottore’s back pocket. She also worries about not making progress to her goals of studying teyvat fast enough, and worries that if she falls behind on scientific progress dottore will get rid of her for being useless. Anyway yeah she has a lot of internal conflict. Potential for a character arc of her regaining everything she needs for her experiments but without fatui help if she decides to run away

She’s 30 years old and 6’ tall but wears 3” heels. I post a lot of pics of her lmao. I’m slowly filling out a large questionnaire of character creation questions haha help me.

she thinks discussing emotions is showing weakness and thinks therapy is a scam. She prioritizes her work in gathering knowledge through science as more important than anything else in her life. She also tries to make logical decisions about 95% of the time but there are moments when she’ll act impulsively

She sounds like Kafka and she is a certified yapper

Rapture has no human rights laws and she would love studying how Adam interacts with prosthetics she makes. She would also definitely try to get involved in the big daddy project, that just seems right up her alley. She’s skilled enough in her science that she can get either Fontaine or Ryan to fund her if she’s not going down there with Pantalone and Dottore

do you wanna hear about my oc Natalia and why she would LOVE going to rapture

YES YES I DO! /pos /gen

Meeting LJ

Lj x Gn!Reader

words: 1.5k

a/n: Go easy on me dudes this is my first time posting a story

“Adam wanna come outside and play in the park? We haven't hang out for a while now have we, buddy?” y/n told their 6 year old little brother. Adam was always cooped up in the house since it's been summer break. They felt bad for not being there for him more often. y/n’s work has been taking a load on them.

“Can I please stay here instead? I don’t want to leave LJ pleasee?” Adam pleaded

‘LJ? Who the fuck is that..probably just an imaginary friend or something’

“Oh? Is that your new friend? What do they look like?” y/n asked kinda creeped out about it but shrugged it off wanting to engage a conversation with Adam

“Mhm he keeps me company and he's very funny. His name is Laughing Jack or LJ for short. He has this big long nose and OH! He looks so cool! He wears these black and white clothes and is very tall!” He yelled happily 

‘Dam..That’s not creepy at all’ y/n thought

“Well he can tag along with us. It will be fun, don't you think? Now grab your coat and hat, it's pretty chilly outside” They said cheerily but on the inside they didn't want whatever this creature was, not that it matters he's not real.

“Yes!” He quickly stood up and rushed out the door. y/n sighed and took one last glance around his room before seeing a black shadow dash on the corner of their eye making them spin their head towards that direction. 

“I swear to god. Ghosts not now kill me later- I mean don’t kill me. Fuck go away” y/n hastily said and closed their brother’s room.

Ah yes the park, a lovely place to be in beautiful dandelion flowers are seen along the path towards the playground. Kids swaying on swings, the other slid on the slides. All the elderly people were watching, sitting and observing their children's play. The other moms were gossiping and talking shit of each other 

“Go ahead and play there Adam I’ll join you in a few” y/n said sitting on a bench they watched as he rushed along and verse with other kids. y/n looked up at the sky and closed their eyes thinking of work..No I should push that aside for now they thought.

 Y/n exhaled through their nose and opened their eyes to be welcomed with a demonic looking creature smiling wide at them with pointy yellow teeth and a long cone shaped nose. y/n jolted up and yelped loudly which received weird glances from the people around them. y/n was embarrassed but they glanced around them but whatever the fuck that was seems like it disappeared. That thing looked exactly like Adam��s “friend” according to how he described him. 

“Shit shit what the fuck was that?!” They whisper shouted at themselves now feeling paranoid of their surroundings 

“y/n come join me!” Adam shouted suddenly making them flinch 

“Coming!”

Both siblings played around there for a few hours before y/n decided that they should both leave before it gets dark. The whole time y/n would glance around their surroundings hoping not to see that smiling monochrome creature both of them finally reached the house, for dinner y/n just heated up some leftover food and at that the day was almost over.

“Come on dear brother it’s time for bed” They said as he helped him change his clothes to a more comfier one and tucked him in the bed. “Goodnight Adam I love you” y/n said kissing Adams forehead

“Goodnight y/n and Lj” He smiled at the both of them

y/n felt goosebumps all over their body and left Adam’s room hastily feeling very unsettled.

“Fuking Lj, that creepy bitch. Fuck it I’m not sleeping tonight” They said running into their room scared. 

y/n laid down on their bed and all the lights were on, so is the TV hoping it would distract them from the thought. “I’m a fuking adult. I shouldn't be scared for the love of shit” y/n just stayed there on their bed watching random channels on the TV for hours but the sleepiness took over and they passed out. 

It's been a week since that happened and everything is going strange 1. Someone is leaving candy in front of your doorstep and few small dandelion flowers 2. Adam is always talking to himself in his room 3. A shadowy figure keeps appearing on y/n’s peripheral vision it's making them so paranoid to the point y/n tried calling the police because someone keeps leaving candy and flowers in front of their house but the stupid officers just laughed at them and said it was probably some prank someone is pulling.

“Well fuck you too what if its some stalker leaving candy and flowers or some shit” They muttered to themselves. All sorts of candy were piled on their front door to snickers, skittles, m&m etc. y/n was actually tempted to take one but was too scared to reach for one.

Adam had requested y/n to watch a movie together when they returned from work. He loves watching movies, especially “Scream”. He likes to re-watch it everytime not that y/n is complaining they like Stu Macher and would watch the movie a thousand times just for him. 

They both watched all the scream movies before passing out on the couch. What a lovely night isn't it. I think a Monochromic clown enjoyed it too who y/n seems to have momentarily forgotten about.

y/n slowly woke up from hearing murmurs from his brother

“Adam why are you awake- WHAT THE FUCK GET AWAY FROM HIM” y/n stood up and tried to get closer but some force was not letting them

“y/n! You’re awake and you can see him! This is LJ my friend-” Adam was cut off by y/n

“No no Adam that is not your friend that is some demonic shit and I can’t fucking move! GET OUT OF HERE!” They shouted frustrated in the verge of tears

“Ah aren’t you y/n how adorable” Lj chuckled

“Who the fuck are you and what do you want from us” y/n growled they cant move a limb and remained standing infront of them.

“Don't worry y/n he's very kind and nice and he's not a demon he's a clown!” Adam smiled at you. Oh how innocent this soul is not knowing this clown can kill him any second.

“I don’t want anything from your brother. I want you. Adam, why don't you go to y/n’s room and find a movie for all of us to watch, while I get to know your lovely little sibling.” He smiled his sharp teeth showing  

“Sure!” He stood up from the floor and went upstairs to your room to find a your collection of CDs

“Am I on fuking drugs? Don’t you dare fuking hurt him if you’re actually real. I'm gonna rip your guts out you tall bitch!” y/n shouted but lowered it down hoping Adam won't hear. y/n was scared and confused if this was a dream or not.

“Oh no deary how threatening.. Did you like those candies and dandelions I gave you?” Lj asked hopefully 

“No I fucking hated it! What is it that you want from us bitch” They said glaring at him if only looks can kill. He looked a bit hurt but proceeded 

“Now now I just wanted to make a deal and no you’re not on drugs. I’ve been watching you for a while and I've taken a great liking to you... I like how you take care of your brother and never abandon him. Let me stay here. I wont hurt him or you.” He smiled menacingly 

“What makes you fuking think I’ll believe you? Hell I could actually be dreaming or be dealing with a fuking devil” They said confidently. Poor y/n they really thought it's a dream. The fact that they think that this is all fake is giving them confidence. 

“If this was a dream you would let me rip your brother to shreds then hm?” Lj said in a bit of wonder, smiling very wildly, his sharp, big, and yellow teeth showing. 

“NO! Dont just..fuking hell. What if I deny?” They asked very unsettled. This might be a dream but they will still never let their brother get hurt or killed in any way.

“I’ll rip both of you to shre-” 

“Fine fine you can stay but if you harm a single strand of his hair or hurt him in any fucking way I’ll find a way to get rid of you” They stubled back a bit finally feeling the sensation in their body.

“Hmm will see about that” He grinned

“y/n! Lj! Let’s watch Clueless! I really want to see this one” He cheered coming back to the room, seeming not to notice what they were talking about. 

y/n who was still processing what's going on just nodded as they took the CD from Adam’s hand and loaded it in the CD player. y/n wanted to ask questions but was too afraid. They really hoped it was just a dream or get the balls to ask Lj who the fuck he is and what is he. Lj sat beside y/n making them flinch.

“Don’t be scared now i don't bite” He smirked

“Ye..yeh right” They said nervously and looked away from him
