Laswell x Chaotic Wife Pt.2
(I laughed while writing these. I've also posted like 3 or 4 times today so this might be my last post for today other than the vote for tomorrow's post.)
Part One/ Part Two/
♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡
Laswell *on the phone with price*: Why did my wife just come into my office and tell me it makes more sense to be called football.
Price: Because it is, ... and I paid her to tell you that.
Laswell: You paid her? With what?
Price: Told her she could hang out with Soap.
Laswell: That's a recipe for disaster.. again.
Price: seeing how they'll be at your house doesn't bother me one bit.
Laswell: JOHN.
*He hung up on her laughing.*
♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡
R/N: Kate, love, why are we out of coffee?
Kate: Are we? I wouldn't know.
R/N: I JUST BOUGHT THAT TWO DAYS AGO!
Kate: ... Someone's got to get this done.
R/N: YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE YOURSELF A HEART ATTACK!
Kate: Says the one who almost kills herself daily and makes me more stressed than my job sometimes.
R/N: ...This isn't about me.
♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡
R/N: So wait- your name is JOHN?!
Soap: Yea?
R/N: KATE- THERE ARE TWO JOHNS
Kate: Yes. I know.
R/N: TWO JOHNS.
Kate: She's going to go on about this for weeks now.
♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡
R/N: So your here for...?
Ghost: To watch you two.
Soap:.. wait? Watch us?
R/N: Kate is mad we almost burnt down the house. Her fault.. kinda
Kate *leaving the door with Price and Gaz*: IT IS NOT! GHOST WATCH THEM!
Price: Yea- don't let them out of your sight for even a second. I made that mistake once. Alright you have fun!
*Later*
Ghost *on the phone with Laswell*: THEY FUCKING VANISHED. HOW DO I FIND THEM?!
Kate: THEY- THEY WHAT?
Ghost: I went to piss, and they are GONE.
Kate: They are probably hiding. If you say "red robin" and you don't hear a "yum" soon after.. they got kidnapped.
♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡
*R/N and Soap ducktaped to chairs back to back after Ghost got tired of them.*
R/N: YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO RUN LEFT.
Soap: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU DONT KNOW YOUR LEFT AND YOUR RIGHTS?
R/N: Aren't you supposed to be better than him?
Soap: Shut up.
R/N: That's point what for the British against the Scottish?
*Ghost holding back a laugh*
Soap: Shut the fuck up.
♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡
*Kate walking back in hours later with Gaz and Price.*
Kate: What the-
Price: You duck taped them to chairs?
Ghost: They are both terrifyingly good at hiding.
Kate: ..so you taped them to chairs?
Ghost: It was the only option where they didn't escape and get kidnapped for ransom or Soap showing your wife how to build a bomb with bathroom chemicals.
R/N: I was so close to knowing.
Kate: ...actually fair enough.
Price: Told you he could do it.
♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡
R/N: Price called.
Kate: I don't have any missed calls..
R/N: No he called me.
Kate: That's odd, why did he call?
R/N: ...I don't know he called me a Muppet for saying I don't like tea? I forgot the rest of the conversation.
*After Kate called to see why he called her wife while she was in the shower.*
Kate: Love- they called because they were HAVING PROBLEMS ON THEIR MISSION AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME THE PHRASE 'PRICE ONLY LIKES TEA WHEN HES AWAY FROM A PROPER PINT' BECAUSE THEY ARE IN DANGER. YOU SAID YOU DIDNT LIKE TEA AND JUST HUNG UP?
R/N: I was trying to catch up to you on candy crush.

ROUND 4 MATCH 8
Zevran propaganda:
“The bisexual elf man”
"what about 'for the chance to be by your side i would storm the dark city itself'?? he can essentially propose!! if you die he canonically never loves again!!"
"literally the sweetest romance ive ever had the chance of doing
everytime i play origins i try to romance someone else but the momebt he starts talking i absolutely melt!!!!!
zevran shouldnt just be boiled down to bisexual elf man
he also is deeply traumatized since he was used for his body since a young child
so the warden and zevrans romance is such a sweet and slow romance ws you slowly help him realize that you dont just see him as his body!!!!
hes the sweetest man on earth and i will die on this hill
i will never love anyone more than this man"
Derek propaganda:
"Impossible to dislike
No, like, literally impossible. OL1 will allow you to be indifferent to it's two other LIs, Cove and Baxter but you actually can't pick that option for Derek. Game decided that You Will Be (at least) Friends With Derek
This boy is so good!!!! He's a sweetheart and has your back in the best way and he's constantly doing his best to make sure the people around him (especially you) are happy
This is also a complex flaw of his because he feels like he needs to be the best that he can be and to be worth something
This both manifests in how he treats others (he's exceedingly well-mannered and does everything for others because he secretly hopes that someday someone will do the same for him) and his career prospects (he takes on excessive practice to get good at football/soccer so that he can potentially get a scholarship and become famous all so he can potenially feel like he's worth something. This is actually a major conflict in his Step 4)
His DLC also has some of the best moments in the game
He also has a family and they're also really good and you get to see a lot of them
His dad is hilarious, his mom is gorgeous and their relationship is very cute
Meanwhile, Derek's brothers are great. I wanna gush about them because I love them but also play Derek's DLC yourself!!! See how good they are for yourself!!!!
I will say that these three have a really good relationship dynamic and the development it takes in the 10 years between when you first meet Jorge and Nico as little kids to Step 4 where they're adults (and a teenager, Nico is 16 in Step 4) is genuinely very well written
If you're into the steamy stuff, Derek also has the best make-out session out of all of the boys
He's also just. Very funny. This boy will invite you to a waterpark and then ask you if its a date so he knows whether or not it's ok to check you out in your swimsuit
Or, if you aren't dating by that point (but you do want to to date him), the narration will note how he's trying so so hard not to check you out, he's just trying so so so hard
Puppy dog face. Look at it. Tell me you can look at that face and not want to smooch him
His confession is also the best, did I mention it's the best? Because it's absolutely the best one in the entire game
He has a whole thing about having to confess to you on a ferris wheel and he's so committed to it that he actually avoided ferris wheels for a long time before this confession because he promised himself he'd do it the next time he went on one
And then he went on one...and he literally doesn't confess when he does it because he lost track of time and he had to get off
so he asks you to go on the ferris wheel with him again so he can actually confess this time
Just. Just vote for him!!!!"

Season 2 was the perfect time to use the pirates team because of netherball I mean... they were literally there! They played there! They're supposed to be in contact with Sonny why didn't they tell him it was there ahhhhhh
In the s2 in my head we get to see the pirates team do some actual pirating and interact with artie, bennett etc and they're the ones to tell Sonny about netherball. Maybe Stevens goes in not for the fun of it (like. my guy you were framed for a terrorist attack like a few hours ago is this how you're gonna spend your time?) but to get Rocket out since they suspect something fishy's going on
I can understand there not being as many recognisable characters in the other teams bc that would require making a more unique 3D model but still, would have been awesome to see more of the players we do have. The All Stars arc could have been longer with all these big players learning to work together in a different dynamic (or that bit in s3 where there's two mixed teams against each other icr it's been too long since I've seen s3)
#galactik football#ok i didn't ACTUALLY expect Stevens to win#i guess people like the pirates as a whole but#he doesn't have a flux and we dont see that much of him sadly#so pleasantly surprised!#warren i know is pretty popular in wider gf fandom too#rip kernor :( i will count that vote from the notes#dori talking to herself

Okay finally read your fic! And going by chapter I wrote down my thoughts so that I wouldn’t send you another incoherent voice note
Okay chapter 1 done and oh my gosh I kept laughing and giggling and looking away the whole time cause I was like getting so pumped with all the character appearances. I was having the time of my life really. I loved it all. Also making Ney a year younger than Leo and Luis? Gold. I know it’s like probably obvious or wtv but I just assumed they’d be all in the same grade together so putting them in different grades felt so big brained to me. I’m so excited to read chapter 2!!
AAAAAAH MODRAMOS OMG HE CALLED HIM PRETTY WTH!?
‘he could continue to fish while neglecting the welfare of his villagers’ youcore. Also Leo playing animal crossing makes perfect sense to me.
‘but they stopped paying attention when they realized it was just Sergio threatening someone again’ HELP JSKMANKS
‘I know gingers can vote now!’ MAX WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING PLS SHARE😭😭😭
Aaaaaaw virg and ali leaning on each other in class that’s adorable
Uncle grandpa reference?
OH MY GOODNESS MAX YOU GAVE ME A SHOUTOUT IN YOUR FIC!?? I’M LITERALLY DEAD WTH?!
‘football and murder’ ah yes. The two essentials
No but what *does* UEFA stand for?🤨
“Why does he want us to mark his worms?” This is the best sentence to ever sentence in the history of sentence.
THOMAS PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER GEEZ
THE SPACE INTERPRETER
KLOPP YOU DEVIOUS LIL BITCH
MY MODRAMOS HEART PLSSSS
Kinda laughing at the fact that pedri and gavi are freshman. Like Gavi already looks like a baby now he’s an actual baby fr. Adorable
HELP!? Young and hip plsss he’s 17😭😭😭
“Because you’re not. There is absolutely no way they’re not gonna know about this. You’re fucked.” And the best friend of the year award goes to….not this guy that’s for sure
Oh btw max this whole fic reminds me of deadly class but PG and a comedy and footballcentric
N IN COMES MEB W THE STEEL CHAIR
oh WHAT A WAY to wake up bro. rolling around my bed squealing kicking my feet rn. whether its an ask or a voice note, i will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS appreciate hearing Your Thoughts. always
i am SO SO SO glad you enjoyed!!! n the fact that you wrote down your thoughts to send this lovely lovely ask?? literally screeching crying throwing up bro.
kay now for specifics. yeah ney ended up being a year younger than the other two cause i hava Super Complicated Mathematic Algorithm to calculate whos in what grade ;))
i am smoking NOTHING i have never done a drug ever this is all My Brain :D
yeah its an uncle grandpa reference lmaoooo
what does uefa st- DONT WORRY ABT IT
okie i cant respond to every single comment cause this would be way too long but know that i read n appreciate to death EVERY SINGLE ONE OF EM!!! thank you beyond words meb i loved reading this sm <3
#MY FIC HAS BEEN PERCEIVED!!!#love you meb 🫂#ty for the ask <3#uefa high#neymar#leo messi#luis suarez#msn#modramos#sergio ramos#virgil van dijk#alisson becker#thomas muller#jurgen klopp#pedri#gavi

making my own post cause i dont particularly want to start a fight on the internet. but positing it as "voting blue" vs "complacency" vs "adventurism" is a supremely silly trichotomy. no these are not your only options. no there is no meaningful difference between voting blue and complacency. i agree that most people are just posting, but posting your ballot is pretty much exactly the same. all it does is switch out the shell of the bourgeois party from one that is evil and kind of embarrassing for the usa's image (because can we be real the only problem liberals had with trump was that he was impolite) to one that is the exact same evil (i hope we are past illusions that genocide joe biden and hospital bomber barrack obama were any better than trump) and only marginally less embarrassing. the democrats will let you down. it is not the fault of some establishment dems or a republican congress and the sooner you let go of these obfuscations and see that the entire system is broken the better. vote blue as far as a democrat president buys time for the working class party building while ultimately lets them reveal to the masses that they're no better than the republicans and that neither arm of the (in actual fact, single) us bourgeois-imperialist party has the domestic or global working class' best interests at heart, but don't hang your hopes on electoralism and don't create false dichotomies encouraging others to either do the same or commit acts of individual terrorism.
besides, what little reforms can be won by electoralism will not be won off the back of unconditional support for your political football team colours. if you want genocide joe and the democrats to stop funding genocide you can't vote for them despite that. the point of voting is supposed to be that promise of mass withdrawal can pressure a candidate into changing policy. i'm sorry but if nine tenths of people online are saying that they will vbnmw regardless then you are actively undercutting any attempts to organise such a protest, and you deserve to be "bullied" (at least superficially) or ratioed or whatever if just to signal to feds that -THIS IS NOT THE MAJORITY OPINION. OUR THREAT IS SIGNIFICANT. CHANGE YOUR POLICY-
of course, the limitations of this tactic are clear. social media is demographically skewed and predictions are not gauged from tumblr posts. but the vote is the barometer of the maturity of the working class, and a working class which is moving past the democratic party is a sign of a major shift. you take the actions and organisating of days past, that "i dont see you firebombing walmart, or organising a coup", and assume that it will continue under new conditions. but we are entering a new stage of the struggle. the topic of palestine is incredibly radicalising for many people as it brings so many of the contradictions of capitalism and imperialism and the dissonance between the bourgeois establishment's support for their colonial puppet in the middle east and the broad working class' support for palestine. organisational access to these newly conscious layers will prompt new tactics. but first we have to reach them.
which brings me to the final point. i do agree with one aspect of the post, and that is on posting. yeah: get offline. get involved with organising. there are revolutionary parties out there who are looking for young radicals but if you're all online then they can't find you and you're of no use because the revolution will not be liveblogged and it will not be shared via the instagram infographic industrial complex. the alternatives are not individual terrorism or voting republican, which i find the most offensive (light heartedly) part of the post. i dont care if its based, individual terrorism alienates the working class and is no basis for a national, let alone international, which socialism requires, movement. your direct action groups will get torn apart by the police and the working class will say all the better for it. and this is not because they are reactionary, or because they arent based enough, but because you have made an error in analysis of the material conditions and you reify spontaneity and you don't trust the working class to understand your demands and for that condescension they will never join you. it failed for the narodniks and it failed for ted kaczynski and it failed on january 6th and it failed on occupy wall street and it's failing for extinction rebellion. there are no shortcuts to party building. it is slow, tedious, careful work both to understand the tasks and to win over layers of the working class to build a mass movement. it requires above all a strongly educated core that can independently win people over and build a strongly connect national and international movement, and will not be lead astray. go get fucking organised

Amygdala Lyric Video (Ecco2k x Bladee)
I figured out what it is, the far right has been co-opted yet again, and guys like sam hyde and nick fuentes are creating a neoneoconsertative movement. young people who know the truth about jews and world war 2 and the bible etc thanks to the rise of the internet have no time or patients for the pussified neoconservativism that was thrust on boomers by jews (literally invented by a jewish think tank google it) democrats are the real racists type shits, but this is just another iteration of that, a new conservative movement with an overton window shifted just slightly to the right, defanged and impotent. well i dont want that, i want jews out of the government and entertainment industery, and i dont think we are gonna be able to vote them out. they want people like us captured in these little spaces where can go a little futher than our football watching cuckold fathers but not far enough to actually matter. it wont work though, this is the year, its gonna be a red year

For Press, a forward for the US women’s national football team, building a collection around video games has posed a learning curve. When our creative director presented the idea, I was like, no, I don’t play video games. [Laughs] I don’t like this concept, bring me something else! she remembers. A year later, here we are with the Gamer collection. So you can see how this [debate] went.
The Spring collection, awash with a gamer-meets-raver vibe, most directly reflects the creative director of Heath reincs and one of USWNT’s resident gamers, according to Press. There is a bit of a connection between athletes and the games, Press adds. It’s a way that a lot of [our teammates] likes to decompress while playing FIFA, or Zelda.
Ultimately, the motif of the game works as an extended metaphor, depicting genre dynamics that are anything but imaginary. The larger idea we wanted to get across was the similarities between what we experience as athletes, with our own fight for gender equality, Press says. Indeed, it is difficult not to read the allegory in the Gamer collection: like the fictional past designed to accompany him, four queens must fight to progress in a gamified realm, weaving their way through Mt. Steadfast and challenging a resentful group of Overlords.
For Spring, they opted for cubic graphic fonts and heavily Web 1.0 hues, as well as analog gear (skateboards) and knickknacks (playing cards). More than a cultural homage, the nostalgia-tech aesthetic allows for a sort of corrective, albeit an historic, fantasy. Example: Gamer playing cards, in which kings, jacks and aces are replaced by you guessed queens. There are only queens in this deck, and you can assign their value, Press says of the updates, each inspired by one of the four founders of reincarnation. The idea [is that] Playing card structures are steeped in sexism, so we wanted to do away with that.
As Queens v. Mt. Regular plot, they also wanted to reverse the gendered video game tropes. By searching [for the collection], every video game I’ve come across seemed [center on] a woman in peril. Like, the idea that Mario is going to save Princess Peach, Press observes. You don’t have to be a gamer to see how very outdated this is, in my opinion.
For Press, research on games has only reaffirmed just how intractable systemic sexism really is. Much of what I experience as a woman is microaggression, which you don’t necessarily notice right now, she says. But in video games, it’s actually so obvious and blatant … Because the arguments we [athletes] hearing that men are physically stronger than women [dont apply]. So the fact that women are also under-represented in the video game space proves to me once again how irrelevant arguments like these are. Everything is societal.
These hard-won ideas are implicit in the relentless campaign against inequality. But so is the enduring possibility of change, as indicated by the grassroots causes. These include voting rights, migrant rights and the distribution of PPE, in addition to this season’s partnership with Black Girls Code. When you look at who makes the games, and more generally in industries based on math and science, you see the problem, Press says. That there is no diversity of thought in these spaces, which is the case for a reason. It was the status quo that was difficult.
With his new tech buff, will Press ever join his teammates on the virtual playing field? Unlikely: we’re at FIFA, so [I get why] many like to play FIFA, she says. But I think it would be weird. I can’t even watch movies where someone is playing football [Id rather be] with Mother Nature.

American leftist want to have another democrat in the presidence so they can put their heads in their asses again and pretend all the "child concentration camps" and "police brutality" dont exist, like they did with obama, who straight up sent those children in those concentrations camps into trafickers hands and nobody on the american left actually give a shit.
They want biden in power to continue pretending everything its fine and nothing bad happens, while feeling like good persons, while everyone can see its fucking fake.
"But think of the ice child concentration camp!!!" dude, biden was vice during 8 years of those children concentration camps and neither you or him gave a shit before and neither you or him will even pretend to give a shit about it again if a dem becomes president. They will still be open and you will put your head in the ground.
hey guys, no shit that democrats are also accountable for police violence. even black dems have been known to be pretty impartial on this issue and you can see it from the mayor of minneapolis who hasn’t done much to ease tensions between the police and the protestors.
but you still need to vote democrat anyway.
we can not survive another four years of this presidency. there will be more deaths from police brutality, there will be more deaths from ice prison camps, there will be more deaths from serious health complications. there will be hatred, more negligence, more pain, more incompetence. there will still be a threat of our democracy falling into fascism, if it hasn’t already.
biden will not solve everything. hell, he’s not my first choice either. but it’s a start. everyone making these awful takes like “democrats won’t solve everything so don’t vote for them” will literally solve NOTHING. it will create divisions that put trump in office in the first place.
so please. if you don’t vote democrat or choose not to vote at all, you are actively choosing to let donald trump get another four years. easily.
please, still protest. please, still sign petitions and go to rallies and continue to fight for equality and justice. i am going to do the same. but don’t forget to vote him out this november.
#not even defending trump#or reps#but if you are going to vote for biden#and use the whole 'we will not survive other 4 years of *stuff obama did*'#then you dont actually care about it#you just want 'your team' to win#like its a fucking football game

you guys talking about player of the year awards…football isnt about stats. thats one thing i dont love about this generation of football fans, they treat the game like its just a g/a tally rather than a sport. watch the game and watch the players, there are incredible players that wont have winning stats but are a joy to watch and that’s probably why people vote for them. also if you’ve actually watched liverpool prem league games since the start of the year you definitely wouldnt be suggesting salah win that award 😭😂

MAX HEY what got u into soccer (as u call it) / ur football origin story ?!?!?
HI BESTIE I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING!!!
warning in advance i talk. so much. like half this info isnt even necessary to answer the question i jus like to run my big mouth.
so it all started when i was a wee lil lad. actually if you wanna be technical it starts before then!! basically i love soccer cause my dads loved it his whole life. n my dad loves soccer cause his dad loved soccer n i'll probly pass it on to my poor kiddos in the future lmao.
but yeah when i say dad loves soccer i MEAN it. he played when he was in school n continued to play after for the local club, a club made entirely of irish immigrants in new york. he is not irish. but he was rlly good so they were like aight. i have a ton a their trophies n yearbooks n stuff!! my dad was a goalie n helped them win a CHAMPIONSHIP (that he postponed his wedding for)!!! he got a buncha mvp votes n my opa has a plaque thanking him for being their biggest supporter :)) fun fact dads team played against usmnt goalie tim howard when he was younger. dont remember who won tho.
i know less abt opas exploits unfortunately, but by God did he love the sport. man could watch half a dozen games a day. oh wait nvm i jus remembered how could i forget he took my dad to PELES FAREWELL GAME IN '77??? oh yeah my dad n opa used to see the new york cosmos EVERY HOME GAME. so theyve literally seen pele himself more times than my dad can count. funny lil story they were season ticket holders but at the farewell game their seats were given to mohammed ali. as i type this i realize that sounds so made up but im not shitting you. look it up he was there.
so yeah naturally being raised by this man means being raised around soccer. as a baby i had a little plush soccer ball n i actually took my first steps with it. its still lying around somewhere i think. i did play when i was a kid (goalie, ofc) but the fact that i have the atheticism of an asthmatic squirrel cut my playing career short. honestly, i regret not pulling through n playing more. i actually didnt get into european soccer till i was like eleven. up until then i was a DIE HARD mls/new york red bulls enjoyer. i went to my first red bulls game when i was literally an infant n went to damn near every home game for over a decade. which means i jus got to watch the man, the myth, the legend mr thierry henry more times than i can COUNT. i didnt realize till years later how fortunate i actually was!!
now the REAL awakening. so its 2014, either march or april i cant remember. i come downstairs from an absurdly long minecraft playing binge n like usual theres a game on the tv. i ask whos playing n my dads like its el clasico. n im like ??? he explains that barcelona n real madrid are two teams in spain with an intense rivalry n every time they play they call it el clasico. n that barcelona has a player named lionel messi, who many consider the best in the world, n that real madrid has cristiano ronaldo, who many also consider the best in the world. i watched the rest of the game with him, n i honestly dont know what exactly made me a die hard messi fan. my dads a serie a/juventus enjoyer so he didnt care enough to steer me one way or the other. but from that day forward i was the BIGGEST messi n barcelona fan. i remember the 2014 wc VIVIDLY, it made me the woman i am today n NOT in a good way. i also remember growing up watching msn n that was literal crack. the 2015 ucl final especially was an,,, interesting time in my house lmao.
n thats why i love soccer!!!
#OH GOD I AM SO SO SO SORRY#I DIDNT THINK I WOULD TALK THIS MUCH IM SORRY#EVERY TIME I THOUGHT I WAS DONE I REMEMBERED SOMETHING ELSE#N THERES EVEN MORE COOL FACTS N STUFF I DIDNT MENTION CAUSE I FEEL RLLY BAD FOR RAMBLING THIS MUCH#yeah i tend to talk a lot n then immediately hate myself for being self centered#why couldnt God have given me a cool talent. instead i take seventeen paragraphs to answer a simple question.#anyway#i love you abi#ty for the ask <3

coolsville on the cw 8/7c character profiles
fred - probably the one who has the closest riverdale counterpart -- archie. hes not into football but hes the town's golden boy. brad and judy are his parents in this verse, and theyre almost never home, so he's pretty much raised himself. takes everything 100% gravely seriously. has trust issues bc of his parents and pushes the rest of the gang away sometimes. has an arc where he goes to jail bc that was funny w archie. jughead's cousin. was voted leader of the gang by actual vote. extremely protective of everything he loves (mostly the other four).
daphne - throw betty, veronica, and cheryl in a blender and you get cw daphne. she inherited betty's pluck, veronica's girlboss air, and cheryl's family vibe. is the only member of the gang in this show to dress solely in her cartoon version's color scheme, bc she claims purple, green, and pink are her signature colors. takes at least 7 self defense related courses. gets a scene like cheryls where she holds a candelabra and covers herself in fake(?) blood and tells her mother off. has the serial killer gene
velma - pains me to say but shes the jughead of the group. she has the best family situation out of all of them, but her family has moved around the country so much that she gave up on trying to connect with people and instead plays a game where she sees how quickly she can turn people off from wanting to talk to her. therefore she is the new girl here. she gets all the forced literary references and the im a weirdo speech. has an encyclopedic knowledge of cryptids and the paranormal, but believes in none of it. wears stompy lesbian boots only
shaggy - much like sabrina is satan's daughter, one of shaggy's parents is affiliated with either heaven or hell and i cant decide which. he has never met them and doesnt find out about his demigod/demidevil status until the s2 finale. has an avatar state that only surfaces when he's angry, which isn't often because he is either his laid back self or scared out of his mind. despite his cowardice, he becomes fast friends with velma when she arrives because they both wanna uncover the truth behind the disappearance of his sister, maggie.
scooby - i havent decided yet if he can talk or not. perhaps he can speak telepathically with the gang so we dont have a cgi moving dog mouth? also hes descended from aliens just like in sdmi bc thats too good not to use. spirits can speak directly to him since hes a dog, and he hates it. also he has killed a man and it becomes a plot point later
marcie - her family owns the malt shop. idk much about her personality yet but she def crushes on velma the moment she sees her. might be a secret member of the southside serpents-esque gang of coolsville
red - captain of the football team and fred's arch nemesis. also a member of the aforementioned gang. he dies pretty early on but gasp he has faked his death. his death is a red herring for another crime he is involved in
scrappy - prodigy that works for the fbi. idk exactly what hes gonna do yet but i want him here
thats all for now. i want this to be its own thing and not just the events of riverdale with scooby doo characters but im just giving a feel for how everyone is in this universe.

avatar: the last airbenders characters in american high school au
sokka -> katara -> aang -> toph -> zuko
sokka
-senior
-class clown
-sometimes studies for class but he naturally understands everything in this nice smooth flow so school comes very easy to him
-sokka surprises everyone thinking he'd become a jock in high school (he was the class clown, a little bit sexist, a little rude as all young teenage boys are) by becoming a theater kid instead
-its there he meets his girlfriend suki
-the first time he meets her is in all her makeup and dress
-he says she did good in her auditions, for a girl
-he teases her for it until she tells him all the kids who want in to the club have to perform the same audition script, in the same dress and makeup
-he protested at first but gave in anyway
-and then sokka was casted as the girl love interest to suki
-and the rest is history
-not even a week later sokka is the defintion of a feminist
-and he still never shuts up about his girlfriend suki
-he's very popular, and not just in the theatre kid clique
-he makes friends with everybody
-one time he sees this small freshman standing up for a kid being bullied by a senior and it looks like the freshmans about to be eaten alive
-sokka watches not sure what to do but gets confused as the three seniors back down after the freshman makes a speech about love and acceptance for everybody
-sokka is insanely impressed until he realizes they backed down because a teacher was coming down the hall
-it was mr. jeong jeong
-and nobody wants to deal with jeong jeong, not even the scariest kids in the school
-after the almost fight sokka calls aang young grasshopper and they become friends
-for the rest of the year sokka and aang (and eventually toph) keep getting into weird schemes together
-one night they pull all the chairs out of the entire school and put them into the football field
-nobody ever finds out they were the ones who did it
-sokka plans the entire senior prank by himself and its flawless until aang tells him hes not going big enough
-they keep planning and eventually its so extreme katara comes in and tells them guys you cant set 100 wild geese free in the school
katara
-junior
-when shes a freshman she gets really mad when other people are talking over the teacher
-gets near perfect grades on everything she does but still never stops studying
-she wasnt that popular as a freshman, she was that kid for a while who showed up with 50 notecards for a 10 question vocab quiz
-but she joins the swimming team and calms down just a little and all of a sudden she has more friends than anybody else in the school
-she meets aang in swim
-hes a really fast swimmer and at first thats the only thing about him that catches her attention is how impressive his speed is as a freshman
-but then sokka and aang become friends and katara cant keep her eyes off of him
-she finds him funny and his calm and peace of mind comforting
-he has a way of handling situations that seem wise beyond his years, but then he also sometimes acts just like the kid he is
-she knows he likes her immediately and she likes him back too
-but she wont ever admit it
-until they later start dating when theyre both in college
-katara meets toph through aang and after she sees someone bully toph for being blind she becomes furious
-toph doesn't care, at all
-but katara wont let it go
-and toph secretly loves katara for that
-she starts becoming more active in caring about other people
-she joins student council and eventually becomes student council president, winning by actually caring about her school and not just a popularity contest (although it was a little bit, everyone loved her)
-but zuko ran against her in her junior year for president under irohs suggestion
-she hated him competitively for a while
-she constantly threw it in zukos face that he was a rich kid so he cant just buy his way into anything
-she hated him on principle
-zuko never taunted her back though
-one day as she went in to study at a tea shop, she saw zuko in the backroom serving tea
-she learned zuko didn't have any of his familys money anymore and worked for everything he owned, including his heart and temperament
-he was a good person
-katara stopped hating him, but she didnt give up running either
-when he lost presidency to her, he accepted graciously
-and thats when she asked him to be her vice president, and the entire class voted zuko in
-they were the most powerful duo in the school after that day
aang
-freshman
-respectfully but constantly arguing with the teacher
-he's not doing it to be funny, he just knows more than the teachers do
-but everyone thinks hes funny for it anyway
-he never has to study but always does great on the tests
-he was very popular immediately
-by the time he reaches physics sophomore year he meets mr. bumi
-aang starts eating lunch in bumi's room and slowly all of the class joins him for lunch
-bumi only eats a singular lettuce leaf for lunch and 5 packets of pop rocks everyday
-during tests he gives everyone a packet of pop rocks for when youre finished taking it and promises you a 100 if you figure out what he wants you to do with them
-people try everything from putting it in coke, to stealing their classmates, to pouring it on the ground and stomping on them
-aang figures out his last day of class when theyre supposed to take their final
-he notices on test days bumi never has pop rocks
-he always assumed it was so he didnt distract the students during the test but he knows now
-he walks into bumis room and when the test begins he hands bumi his own pop rocks and says he can have them
-bumi annouces aang was the first person in his 43 years of teaching who got it and he will get a 100 on his final
-slowly the entire class turns in their pop rocks to bumi
-but bumi makes them take the test anyway and he has all 29 packets during the test, distracting the entire class
-the highest score on the test was a 35
-but they all passed with 100s anyway
-parents were mad at bumi's teaching style thinking the kids learned nothing from his nonsense and that his grades were meaningless
-but when the ap test scores came back every single student recieved a 5/5 on their score
toph
-freshman
-she doesnt care about school at all when she starts but becomes famous later on
-class clown but not like sokka
-she does it in a disrespectful way at first
-she always puts her feet on the desk claiming they "need to see"
-shes mad the teachers dont get mad at her for it
-they pity her for being blind instead
-so that makes her act out even more
-she doesnt get to have bumi for physics, she has mr. yu
-yu was a horrible teacher, and toph as a young sophomore year was fed up being treated like she can't do anything, so she taught herself
-she listens to classes online and studies and makes her own physics experiments and learns from the nature of the world itself
-and does better than anyone in her class
-eventually she starts to get 100s on every single test thrown her way, in every class
-she stops being dissrespectful but oh boy does she never back down from a fight if she doesnt like somebody
-at first she doesnt have a best friend but really wants one
-she has gym with aang freshman year and they get really competitive when theyre put on opposite teams
-she nearly takes aangs head off with a dodgeball once
-aang beats her in a mile run freshman year and she doesnt talk to him for a few months until she beats him again
-but they quickly realize how similiar they are and they become best friends
-they talk throughout their english class constantly and keep getting in trouble with the teacher
-aang keeps apologizing ashamed but toph only laughs waits five minutes and starts again
-but all her teachers learn to love her and are impressed by ger instead of pitying her
-when toph has 100s on every single test
she becomes known as the impossible, almost famous internationally for her perfect scores
-shes literally the brightest youngest genius in the world, found in an american public high school
-it seems impossible and like shes cheating except for her 35 average she gets in english every year
-it doesnt matter she cant read anyway she says
-toph loves sokka and after aang introduces them to each other, she never passes up a chance for annoying him for being a theater kid
-she gets involved with many schemes with aang and sokka
-but at first katara and toph dont get along
-one time, katara walks in the middle of toph cornered getting bullied for being blind as a freshman
-katara cant believe herself this is happening in this day and age and gets those kids suspended for discrimination
-toph gets annoyed at katara for caring so much and making such a big deal about nothing
-but one day she realizes katara doesnt pity her at all, shes only mad at the other people
-and she smiles to herself and realizes it is kinda nice to have someone care about her like that
-so she lets katara rant and rave
-but the next time someone said tophs makeup she tried on for the first time is so ugly because she can't see her own face to do it, in fact that explains why she dresses herself like that
-toph throws an entire textbook with perfect accuracy at that persons head
-and when katara is asked as student council president what she thinks should happen to toph next
-katara responds she should be handed a heavier textbook
-and toph smiles
zuko
-junior
-when hes young hes extremely rich and uses his money to get in and out of everything
-hes good at heart but lost still
-he originally went to ozais private academy because his dad is the principal there
-but when zuko stands up for someone being bullied, just like aang did, he doesn't get friends but instead he gets suspended because the bully was the school quarterback and when ozai defended the quarterback, zuko spoke up
-ozai didn't like that
-ozai is so mad he sends zuko to live with his uncle with strict orders that if zuko makes one more mistake he'll be sent to military school
-but zuko has a good healing life with iroh after that
-iroh has zuko take just one year off of school as they travel the world and connect with nature and camp and by irohs request, drinks a lot of tea
-iroh supports zuko finacially completely but feeling guilty and wanting to help out, zuko begins working at a tea shop with his uncle after his father cuts him out of recieving any of the family money
-iroh enrolls him at the same school as sokka katara aang and toph and after a year of traveling and zuko's heart has cleansed of sadness rejection and anger and now healed
-(but that will never stop him from losing his temper every now and then again too)
-hes in the same grade as katara now despite being a year older
-zuko is pretty jack of all trades in all of his classes, (but only master of one)
-and he also couldn't be worse in english even though his teachers think he has a beautiful way with words
-when he talks without thinking he moves people to tears
-but once he turned in a poem that said "you have to look within yourself to save yourself from your other self. only then will your true self reveal itself."
-he comes home sad he got a 20 on that poem "ruining his high gpa"
-but zuko has a natural gift for chemistry and iroh suggests he tutors some kids for it to increase his confidence again
-zuko meets aang, who wanted a tutor to perfect his classes
-it doesn't go too well at first
-after a year of healing and calm and zen, aang is very very Loud to him
-they argue constantly
-zuko's tutoring style is effective but very aggressive
-he tests aang constantly on the hardest chemistry problems he can come up with, some of it stolen directly from advanced college level courses
-aang is just a freshman but zuko has him learning advanced organic chemisty
-one night they were sent out of the library because aang tried to steal zukos answer key because the test was just too hard and zuko yelled at him to stop and they knocked a whole bookshelf over in the struggle of chasing each other
-but after they left it was the first time aang saw zuko laugh
-after that they start to get along and become best friends for life, despite the age difference
-it takes zuko a while to get used to aangs friends loud personalities but one day when hes older he realizes thats the first time he ever had any real friends his entire life

How to manipulate American boomers(tm) and problematic Conservatives(tm) onto liking you or blend in among them. Important if you need to be incognito among them for safety purposes.
For legal reasons this is a joke
Use sir, ma'am, mr. And mrs. . Usually grants instant likeability. Dont overuse tho cuz then it seems like ur trying to hard. Plays into superiority complex and ego
Act a bit dumb. They LOVE when they think they're smarter than you. But again don't overplay it.
Use manners. Hold open doors. Offer your seat to them even when unnecessary. Etc
Agree with most of everything they say and nod along like you're "actually" listening and agreeing ( kinda like you would with a toddler) but definitely make sure it seems sincere otherwise that will make them suspicious.
5. Play heavily into traditional stereotypes. I know it sucks but if its about safety this one is probably the most important. Act like a mildly conservative churchgoer mixed with a little but of soccer mom/football dad. Dress so you fit that sterotype. Gender roles as well unfortunately. Cover up any tattoos and try to minimalize the obviousness of any piercings.
If you're going deep incognito. Try to get a "respectable job" like a secretary or something. The less manual labor involved the better. If its a trade school job those work well most of the time too. Volunteering is also a boost in that factor (as well as good for the community)
Try to join a church of a popular denomination in the area.
buy a bible/holy book matching that denomination. Mark some passages in highlighter if you feel the need to. Some good ones for christians are James 1:5 Joshua 1:9 Philippians 4:8 and John 3:16 leave this in a place that is somewhat obvious and make it seem like you read it frequently. If you're REALLY going for the effect buy a couple small bible study books and go thru them as well.
[AVOID MORMONISM there are legal reasons for this but basically leaving the mormon church is almost impossible because they will harass you and you have to convince them to "let you leave" among other problematic practices such as conversion therapy and such. Also always read into church indoctrination and theological beliefs. You do NOT want to wind up in a cult]
Avoid what they would consider promiscuous behavior and excessive amounts of things like alcohol or whatever local taboo there is. Also "respect" the local BS, just trust me on that one...
DO NOT DISCUSS POLITICS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. EVER. Avoid putting any political propoganda on your property or vehicles. Dont hang flags or propoganda that goes against the surrounding general conservative political opinions. This can and will make you a target if not followed. (Obviously still vote and support the activist communities you belong to but def. Do it as privately and discreetly as possible. besides you're not really supposed to really talk about who you vote for anyways)
Thats all i can think of rn tbh. STAY SAFE.
