(Silence. CARPENTER tries to rally HAYWARD's spirits. She's afraid she's going to lose him.)

"All three of us - we can all go on living, Hayward. Just like you said."

when jack said "can you tell them i'm sorry" about the angels being angry i fell in love with him as a character. he's just a little guy!!!

Imagine. You're a new life and one of your earlier emotions? Being sorry.

After hearing angelic voices, perhaps he's hearing their anger, their panic... and he's sorry for being born. Or perhaps he's just sorry for hurting the people who'd been kind to him, for the people caught up in his out-of-control power.

[Sam is also visibly relieved, as Jack sits on the cot opposite him and folds his legs up criss cross applesauce style] JACK: I'm sorry. SAM (confused): What? JACK: Will you tell them that I'm sorry? SAM: Yeah. Sure. Of course. (long pause) 13x01

///

Then Jack gets stabbed and:

...is confused, then horrified.

After all, the other person who got stabbed this episode?

Not exactly fine.

Jack looks on as Sheriff Barker rushes Clark out of the building, Clark suffering from a severe stab wound from the exact same kind of weapon.

Jack notices.

Notices how different he and Clark are.

///

So in 13x02, he's still struggling with that blossoming realization, that horror:

Jack already knows:

This appeal is for a reassurance that can't be given...

Something about godforsaken monsters and their little monsters. It's so painful.

But also so reminiscent of another moment of unsettling, possibly evil, intrinsic invulnerability:

There's something so piercing about this off-key parallel.

If I had a nickel for every time a trio of villains in blazers performed a threatening dance number with a candy theme I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

#24: Bar

"We don't serve his kind here."

The contempt in the crowd's eye was not lost on Joshua. Laura put her arm around his shoulder, pulling him over so hard he nearly stumbled. "'e's wi' me, and I ain't leavin' me colleague outside while we 'ave our ale an' stew, y'hear?"

"You shouldn't bring children to a bar anyway." He had a dozen ideas how to smack the sneer off the elezen's face but Laura's grip on his shoulder tightened. Not yet.

"'e's sixteen, old enough to drink ye under."

"Doesn't look like his balls have dropped."

Her fingers relaxed; that was his cue. "Neither have yours, from the sound of it."

A table in the corner laughed. "Wha-!"

He wasn't stopping now. "You're a bit tall so it might look a little bit tiny," he stretched his pinky finger and thumb just a little, "but you do know which is which, aye?" Even that got his guardian hiding a laugh. "Let's go, Laura. Children bore me." He flipped his hair (the best he could for his stature), turned and trotted out, back straight, head held high.

Laura trailed behind, hands behind her back. "Where to?"

"Buscarron knows how to treat people right."

"Bit far from ''ere." She smiled, "Might be a bit hard for yer little boy legs."

He smiled back. "Then the adult's got to keep up."

Day 2 for May DWC 2024 Agony - Embrace

★ Backstage Glimpses at Hearts of Tenacity Fest ★

"Woah buddy, it's only day 1 and you're already looking this rough" Ranek teased with a hearty chuckle as he came up behind Kon and slapped his back. The kaldorei was seen sitting in one of many lounge chairs found at Tenacity Isle sometime just before noon and clearly hungover from the rave the night before.

"Technically, it's day two. Yesterday was day 1 remember?" Kon grunted back at him raising a hand with two fingers but in a very lack-luster manner that made it seem he was half asleep still. "Sounds like day zero to me, the performances don't even start till tonight. And you and I are going to ROCK IT!" The fellow metal head and guitarist of Inner Beast exclaimed always so ecstatic about performing, especially with Kon and Tal. Kon just grunted at him as he reached up to rub at his temples. "Damn right we will... soon as I get rid of this stupid headache. Since when did a bottle of wine hit me like an elekk?" "I got just the thing for that, I've got you." Ranek said stepping off towards the Cast Co Booth across the way. Konietzko raised his head enough to watch him walk off, eyes hidden behind his Hearts of Tenacity merch sunglasses in Talthorn's shade of amethyst. He soon went back to rubbing at his head down to his neck which was already a bit stiff from whiplash. Dicenne had played an amazing set last night at the Feathers and Fantasy rave, he had him dancing so hard he was definitely feeling it this morning. Even if he finished the night with a long needed talk with Anzhin to be there for a friend... he'd chosen to drown out the mood that talk had left him in when he got home with a bottle of one of their many collected wines. Talthorn shared with him of course but this one sent both the elves fast asleep not long after a steamy celebration session. He was a Night elf, so it wasn't strange that he was up so late/early into the morning but since when did he start feeling the aches and pains of the night before when he woke? Was he getting old as the humans say? For that matter what was Talthorn's secret, his husband rarely suffered from hangovers. "Here you go, the ultimate hangover cure." Ranek said handing out a bloody mary with the best greasy food their booth could offer Kon on top. It wasn't just veggies and bacon but a whole slider or two that smelled like it was sure to stick to his gut and soak in some of that leftover alcohol sting in his gut. At first he was uncertain but in truth the smell of it made him long for it. He'd always been a sucker for a good bloody mary, a sign that Ranek was becoming more and more a friend to him to know this. "Is that pepper on fire?" Kon asked, taking it and looking at it closer, raising his shades to make sure he wasn't just imagining it. "That was El's doing. She wanted to get you good and spicy for tonight's show." He laughed as he sat down in a chair beside Kon. The elf smirked then took a much needed swig of the drink, savoring that spice that warmed one's gut as they drank it down. He was lucky he did well with spicy food, reaching for the skewer that held the flaming pepper on top. He caught sight of Elrosil across the way, hand on her hip as she was watching for Kon's reaction no doubt. Never one to let someone down, Kon raised the skewer and put the whole flaming pepper into his mouth, dragging his teeth along the wood as he pulled it off and chewed nice and slow all while watching her with his head lowered just enough she could catch a glint of those amber orbs of his just over the top of the shades he wore. "Do those bedroom eyes work on Talthorn?" She asked, stepping nearer so she didn't have to yell from the distance between them. Ranek was already laughing at the added tension Kon just laid on the stage for them.

Tonight was going to be Kon's first time performing something with some added spice between him and Elrosil. Usually when Inner Beast included him in their sets, they just scream together and Kon did his best with magical effects to mirror his 'beasty' outfit with El's. But for the last several weeks they'd been rehearsing for tonight and were about to feature their 'Hunting Grounds' song meant to spice up the audience with a real tease of passion found during the thrill of a hunt. He'd been teasing her each time they practiced with an 'almost' kiss and joking at her to press more into his chest with her body each time so it made it more real. She'd been teasing him that it couldn't have been more real for her. "Haven't failed me yet." Kon said once he swallowed, licking his lips and hooking his tongue on one fang. He enjoyed teasing her, course Kon enjoyed teasing just about anyone. But Elrosil had become a good friend of his too over the years and he genuinely loved it when she and Ranek asked for him to join them in their band's sets. He reached for one of the tiny sliders next, pulling it off and then rolling his head Ranek's way. "My friend, it's working already, I should kiss you." He said as he took a bite of the slider. Ranek laughed but Elrosil responded by stepping right up and sitting herself down in Kon's lap. "Stop hitting on that lame ass when I'm right here. It's ME who gets the kiss tonight fucker." She had always been crude with her words but that was part of her charm. Konietzko finished chewing, stirring his drink with one of the skewers and offered her one of the pickles on top to her lips. "You have a better chance than most as lucky for you my dear, I don't like sweet lips." He teased right back at her waiting to see if she'd play along. Maybe, just maybe if she played her cards right he'd grant her wish tonight.

I did the Silver Shroud quest and all of Sinjin’s minions fled because I was the super scary Shroud and he just stayed stood there. Holding his gun to Kent’s head. So I stabbed him.

I don’t think that’s how the quest is meant to work

i don’t think i could survive a serious conversation about my own elden ring build the last time i played i spent like thirty minutes at my favorite rune grinding spots until i got enough for two more levels somewhere in the level ~210 range and put them both into endurance for a whopping 72 endurance now

[spybiote]

when it comes to writing April i always try my hardest not to give away to much of what she is thinking or feeling because in truth she isn't easy to read, there isn't anyway your muse would be able to predict what her next move would be. She's so multi-faceted, an enigma. Just when you think your muse thinks they know her, she'll do something so out of character that'll make you question whether you knew her at all. And I think that's one of my favorite joys about writing such a complicated character that she isn't predictable and each interaction is greatly different from one another.
