#fucks sake RH

Only in Gotham does red hood steal your cat at three in the morning because he “forgot to buy Robin a birthday present”

[proudofmyanger]

I'm so done with this dumbass show. I am saying this with remorse but Aemond is right. Alicent still caring about Rhaenyra is so fucking stupid. He has every right to be frustrated with his mother. The writers have already absolutely destroyed Alicent's character for the sake of rh*enicent in season 1. And it's only going to get worse. I'm truly sick of this show and this fandom.

Below is the last known picture of Eri (aged 15)

Incident Report

Witnesses: 2A Student [asked to remain anonymous]

Reporter: Chiyo Shuzenji, ID: Recovery Girl

Reporter's note:

Student confessed to sneaking in the dorms on a dare after some prodding. Due to providing evidence, this was not added to their record and it will be kept as such. - R.G

Description of Events

Former student, at the time intern: Izuku Midoriya (21) was seen following Eri Aizawa (12) from behind throughout the teacher dormitories, seeming to be arguing with her.

Eri maintained an aggressive, brisk walk while Midoriya paced slightly slower behind her. Witness only heard part of the conversation:

"How can you say that Midoriya!?, it's his fault they're dead!"

[note the usage of surname]- Hornet

"E-Eri Chan, look I know things are looking grim-"

"Looking grim!?." (She turns around, Eri is visibly crying) "Midorya, 27 people are dead!. You can't keep doing this. You can't keep covering for him!."

"Eri, I Know-" (dialougue lost as student found hiding spot)

"For fucks sake Midoriya, he blew up a school!. Somebody's kid is dead because of him and you-keep-doing-this-shit! (Her fist bangs against the nearby wall with each '-')"

(Midoriya looks shocked at her reaction, Eri continues to yell. student moves in pursuit, parts of the covo were lost as a result)

"I'm done, I'm fucking done!. You didn't say anything when _ died, you didn't move when Japan lost it's industry or when-"

(Student secures a new position)

[Midoriya replies with something but is temporarily obscured, muffling his response]

"Oh, but now that you can be of use to him, you think he'll suddenly think of you as something other than a "Deku"!?"

(There's a moment of silence as Eri's expression turns somber, she shakes her head and begins to turn. Midoriya wears a blank expression)

"I can't believe I ever believed in you." (Eri begins to walk away)

As Eri walks away, nearly out of the students view, Midoriya speaks. Though it was too quiet for the student to fully hear.

Student then claims that Midoriya then mumbled something about Kacchan and "always be a hero" [Likely alluding to Katsuki Bakugo], loud enough that Eri could hear it fully. [ coincides with camera footage ]

Eri froze in place for approximately 10 seconds, her posture getting even more rigid during this time. Her face twisting into a mixture of shock and rage as her entire frame rattles.

Eri is then described as having "moved in a flash" and proceeded to begin strangling Midoriya, bringing him to his knees. her pupils dilated and teeth bared in rage.

Midoriya is noted to not have fought back, not even once during the entire incident.

Student found me first and the alarm was sounded, 3 teachers arrived in the scene (being Aizawa, Snipe and Cementoss).

End of Description-

_______________________________________

Eri was still strangling Midoriya when we arrived, both were unresponsive to any outside stimulus. Although upon being pried off Eri made no effort to fight back, rather she intensly glared at Midoriya with an icy stare.

Midoriya was unresponsive even when put on a stretcher and as of time of writing [1 hour after the incident] he still appears disassocitive.

Personal Notes:

Honestly Nedzu, I don't think this episode of Midoriya's is from Eri alone, though it definitely played a factor.

This has been a long time coming and the recent incident at Somei was the cherry on top and for the love of God, please keep Ectoplasm away from Eri, she's impossible to work with when she's so on guard.

I understand Aizawa's having a hard time since Mic's Broadcast (X67) but if he keeps neglecting her like this, I'm going to take her in myself. It's becoming a hazard for us and UA and you know it.

That's all for now. - R.G

I can't even make a RH joke about this- Hornet

Imagine we give Benga some slivers of Ghetsis within him, not enough to make it obvious, but small relations

Think of the Black Tower Arc concept we discussed a bit ago. Imagine Benga didn't climb all the way up because he hated the person he was becoming, he almost started to crave the superiority over the other trainers, to get higher and better than them, but he knows from his gramps that it's better to step back when things get too much

It's why he doesn't like going into tournaments or competitions or anything of the sorts, he gets way too into it, way too serious, he starts to crave the rush of victory and winning and that scares him. He's only a kid after all, he doesn't understand the implications of it all.

It'd be interesting to give him a slight temper too, from what we've seen from Ryuki in RH he also has a slight temper and as we know Ghetsis has a severe short fuse. So it'd be interesting to make Benga take after his father and grandfather and give him a bit temper too. Though obviously he combats this with lovely meditation and soul searching with his lovely gramps <3

Give the kid broad traits that Ghetsis has that are broad enough that it doesn't give away his relation, but when Benga finds out a lot of things about himself start to make sense, in a sad way

- 💌

AAAH. YOURE EVIL FOR THAT. i love it and i fucking hate it thank you. its funny ("funny") bc we already know that benga can be especially brash and combative, like i mentioned back with him getting expelled on day 1 of school for battling. although that was portrayed more as excitement and playfulness with impulsivity, i could also see him getting into genuine scraps. he's a sweet boy but he's just impulsive and combined with even a slight temper its not very good. its something alder has to work on with him for sure and we could def get some sweet moments out of that. and the power seeking.. i imagine he's self aware enough to pull away when he gets in too deep, but it's got a bit of a grip on him at first. he doesn't get why because he thinks battling should be fun! it is fun! but there's like, this weird part of him he doesn't understand. and it sucks

i guess now i REALLY have to do a black tower arc for the sake of addressing this aspect of benga's character LMAO

Face Your Failure and how to uproot all of character’s backstory and development in one model or less - a practical guide by RedHook

can anyone tell from that title that i’m salty yet?

so major spoilers ahead about which i couldn’t care less, but people love this game and i want to be polite, and as objective as i can be, so: please be warned, DD2 ending and boss moveset is discussed under Keep reading. if you want to experience the ending for yourself, spoiler free, do not read

Edit: you know, after contemplating about it, i realized - it’s not a bug, it’s a feature (tm.). this is distilled quintessence of everything wrong with this game. it shows you everything, places all cards down and punishes you one almost-last time if you cared or paid attention - the last time will be in the very last cutscene, if you pay attention to the lower part of it. if this, too, doesn’t bother you, you won’t have any issues with this game. if you did, this will be the last nail you needed to lean back and take time to contemplate your choices.

i think they shouldn’t fix this. because this is what Darkest Dungeon had become, and they should be honest about it and their attitude.

so. the big bad boss on the throne has a move called Face Your Failure - which, as the title suggests, summons what the chatacter you select (Come unto thy maker-style) thinks is his biggest failure in life. Para gets her zombie mentor, Barristan gets the spectre of his fallen comrades, Audrey... gets a zombie of the husband who tortured... and... abused her...? Including sexually...? Do you want to tell something by showing this, RH...? Something very, very dubious...?

But I digress. I’m here to show you that writing in DD2 makes no goddamn sense (tm.) by pointing to our beloved rateating highwayman:

Namely, pay close attention to the mob it summons for Dismas

it isn’t too obvious, and the arena is spun wide to see all of the tentacles and the iron crown, so here is a closeup:

notice anything interesting about its weapons? let me give you a hint.

this is the guard from the clown car the stagecoach that Dismas robbed in his backstory, in which the woman and child were. the ones he killed by his reflexes misfiring after the fight was over accidentally “in erratic gunfire”. the ones which spiked his guilt. the ones which pushed him into character development and coming to Hamlet and trying to find redemption. you know? that tiny miny plotpoint thing which was the culmination of his backstory and made him the character who we knew? that passing thing?

and this is the prison guard from his very first shrine:

do you notice the weapon choice? the stagecoach guards have swords while prison guards have batons. and the big bad boss summons a spectre of Dismas biggest failure. with a baton in hand. a prison guard.

I... genuinely dunno what to say, because the implication, unless I’ve lost my mind, is that Dismas’ biggest failure in life was getting out of prison. and this scene in the credits:

makes no goddamn sense (tm.) because this is not his biggest failure - prison is. the locket isn’t tormenting. it’s not shameful. it’s just there. it means nothing. because a cosmic deity which supposedly knows all of existence showed Dismas his biggest fear - and it had nothing to do with killing innocents.

i could’ve chalked it to cuts on model prices. but Audrey received a new model of her deceased husband. if Dis got a spectre of the woman he killed, the ghost of the child staring at him, anything - Reynauld’s corpse half-eaten by the Heart of Darkness for fuck’s sake! - it would’ve been better. but no. he has a prison guard. because who cares. it looks cool and that’s enough.

on a more personal note... i’m happy i didn’t have the money to buy early access. i genuinely am. i’m tired. i know i would never buy it, now. not after their eradication of Reynauld, not after how they butchered Dismas. if you can enjoy the game - more power to you. i’m not here to police your fun. but for me... DD2 got cancelled during development stage, and only thanks to Shibs’ vigilence we got to see the models and animations. but nothing else exists because accepting it is a far too tall of an ask.

now i crawl back into my cozy reymas saltmines.

*Takes the leaf from my mouth*

IF ALL OF THEM WERE GONNA DIE AT THE END WHY DIDNT WE GET TO SEE

A: BETTER MOTIVATION FOR THIS END CHOICE (why didn’t we spend the the season with them realising they missed their powers and were better off with them and actually (ACTUALLY) hated their life without them, subsequently realising that because it would inevitably lead to the end of the world, they’d actually prefer giving up their life to save the world. Just change the choice (Sake) at the start to all of them voting to get their powers back and then it’s an ACTUAL tragedy)

OR

B: HAVE A SCENE WHERE THEY (at least (at FUCKING least)) LAY THEIR LOGIC OUT, about their end.

Also: the world is grim enough as it is. I don’t need a blob swallowing the heroes, without them getting bare minimum a semi-happy ending.

(Why didn’t anyone (Viktor/Allison) believe Klaus when he talked about how Ben died??? Why were they all apparently clueless? Cuz RH could’ve messed with Klaus’s white matter, but Klaus has been hanging out with Ben ever since)

Also, also: how tf does the family exist without them? Like… that doesn’t track at all? How? And why/how is Reggie the voice-over, for the end?

Furthermore: I don’t necessarily agree with the read that Lila and Five would not have started a relationship. What I don’t get is

1) why it would’ve taken them so long (Lila and Five have had a whole Enemies/Lovers thing since she showed up) (In my opinion this should’ve occurred during the time-skip (I don’t agree with Lila/Five, but the “sub”text has been there))

2) Why Five would’ve withheld the fucking map. Like. Why? It makes no f*cking sense. (AND WHY WOULD HE NOT JUST HAVE LOGIC’ED IT HIMSELF. THEY WERE THERE FOR SEVEN. YEARS. If we were gonna have a betrayal, make it his own work that Lila then finds, for crying out loud.)

Also what happened to the Ben on the tube in Japan? Or is that me just having a Mandela effect memory?

Adding: If you wanna give me a tragic ending, give me one. But then you gotta make it so that it is all of (or bare minimum, most of) the heroes choice, that we end up there. Like… The simple quick fix here is that a way back in time is found, to stop Ben with the sake, and subsequently everything else.

(If you wanted to make Abigail Hargreeves an Anti-hero/villain type, then make her “adopt” all of them, the second they came to this timeline. Would’ve made the twist WAY better.)

Which brings me to my last point:

2 ways the series could’ve ended, that would’ve been way more interesting/dope:

1: Everyone (semi-)unanimously vote to get their powers back. The season follows much of the same plot, except they’ve all SELECTED it. It becomes a tragedy, about heroes so unwilling to let their powers go, that they would rather not live at all/end the world, than be without them.

2: Abigail is the “mastermind” in the “true” timeline. This still leads to the Umbrella Academy, but the Jennifer Incident does not play the same:

A) Reggie is killed before ‘89, leading to Abigail (who honestly seems WAY smarter and more caring than Reggie), to not lead them on the Jen mission, but something else, way more juicy happens (cue ep 7 & 8, a)

B) She “instructs” Reginald to only kill Jennifer, since Jen&Ben do not touch skin to skin. The Durango is still loose (cue ep 7 & 8, b)

I will come back to my to proposed 7&8’s soon. Promise.

Also what’s up with good series f*cking up their endings recently? The hells going on???

[thenightisland]

tagged by the lovely @mellowthorn for a rote Q&A thingy under the cut bc it's long

Favourite RotE Book: assassin's quest and fool's fate are constantly vying for the number one slot and the answer changes day by day

Why: on aq days it's bc that's the book that took this series from "wow i really like this" to "oh i'm going to be obsessed with these for the rest of my life huh." it has, i think, the best ending. it has my favorite chapter (ch 20 jhaampe my beloved). parts of it hit very close to home. on ff days it's bc well ff is insane. no book has ever gotten the reaction out of me that that one did. i do not cry at books; it made me cry seven times. it has such excellent payoff for stuff that was set up in the earliest books (rh queen of playing the long game). most heartwrenchingly beautiful moments on earth just chapter after chapter of them.

Top Three Favourite Characters: i think i am one of the few people whose favorite character genuinely is fitz lol. beloved obv number two. after that the answer also changes every day but i'm very partial to web and kettricken.

Top Three Least Favourite Characters: this may be biased due to me being neck deep in ship of destiny at the moment, but 98% of the men in lst need to be set on fire

Favourite Ship (of the floating kind): paragon

Top Three Favourite Ships (of the people kind): (keeping our venn diagram overlap answers) Fitzloved, Burrich/Chivalry, Patience/Lacey

Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: skilled. it seems so handy with the healing and prolonging your life. and i get traumatized enough by animal death as it is without introducing the wit to that equation.

If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with?: some kind of bird

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland?: practicality says bingtown bc i like being relatively warm and by the ocean and not get fantasy radiation poisoning from where i live but...but kelsingra is so fucking neat

How were you introduced to the books? a friend of mine on here always posted about them and our tastes overlapped so much that despite the fact that at the time i said i didn't like fantasy and wouldn't read it, i figured if this friend of mine liked these books there must be a reason. i read the left hand of darkness bc she posted about it too and when i mentioned reading it to her she was like "lol yeah it's hard for me to separate it from fool's fate" so i thought "maybe it's time to read those books then"

Share a quote you love: somewhat abridged for length's sake, from RA, and was one of those bits i count as early warning sign of my impending obsession lol:

“ ‘Not all men are destined for greatness,’ I reminded him

‘Are you sure, Fitz? Are you sure? What good is a life lived as if it made no difference at all to the great life of the world? A sadder thing I cannot imagine. Why should not a mother say to herself, if I raise this child aright, if I love and care for her, she shall live a life that brings joy to those about her, and thus I have changed the world? Why should not the farmer that plants a seed say to his neighbor, this seed I plant today will feed someone, and that is how I change the world today?’

‘This is philosophy, Fool. I have never had time to study such things.’

‘No, Fitz, this is life. And no one has time not to think of such things. Each creature in the world should consider this thing, every moment of the heart’s beating. Otherwise, what is the point of arising each day?…You create possibilities….I have seen the end of the world, Fitz. Seen it woven as plainly as I’ve seen my birth. Oh, not in your lifetime, nor even mine. But shall we be happy, to say that we live in the dusk rather than the full night? Shall we rejoice that we shall only suffer, while your offspring will be the ones to know the torments of the damned? Shall this be why we do not act?’ ”

also and underrated one from FA:

“Oh, the things we discover and the things we learn, much too late. Worse are the secrets that are not secrets, the sorrows we live with but do not admit to one another.”

i have also thought about "every nuance of his grace as familiar to me as the drawing of breath" literally every day but that's a given if there's a sappy line you can be sure i am thinking about it nonstop without a moment's peace

[limetarte]

I think shifting in a way to use the universe, in a manipulation and abusive way is wrong. Shifting to change appearances to one that fits this reality’s beauty standards, for example, I believe it’s wrong, instead of addressing your internalized systems (the oppressive systems) and accepting not just your appearance, but also the appearance of others, you’re using the universe to shift in a reality where you fit this reality’s beauty standards on purpose while keeping those oppressive beauty standards. And find that super wrong, and have to call it out because who else will? especially considering the fact that from what know the universe can’t defend themselves against such stuff and even if it had the power to, it couldn’t really, other people would have to call it out. Shifting to an exploitative reality for the sake of exploitation is also super wrong, for example, shifting to be rich in a capitalist world. Like y’all should really question your internalized oppressive beliefs instead of accepting them and shifting to a different reality to fulfill them. Do y’all see now why it’s fucking wrong? /rh

Also it’s ignoring morals and ethics and anti intellectualism that make people defend their wrongdoings by saying “this entity is unbiased, and it’s neutral”. Stop, it’s not true, it’s impossible to be unbiased and almost no moral thing is neutral. The ones who say this, really just say this to get away with doing wrong.

And both make [..] super angry and that’s valid.

[redjaybathood]

Why I personally liked the poll reference:

Look, it wasn't yet another crowbar joke. It wasn't a poll like in RH/A or B&R, just for an echo of a fucked up thing DC did in the past - even then, it's kinda... hard to say is it an easter egg for the sake of an easter egg, kinda like MCU does; or is it a commentary. With the previous iterations being Morrisson and Lobdell, I don't expect much.

But webtoon seems to get it. Yeah, okay, there is a poll - Bruce shows it to Jason (and correct me if I'm wrong, but where do people get the idea the poll was sourced by Bruce?) - and more people lean toward no, Batman shouldn't keep the new Robin - which, you kinda can interpret it differently. I, for one, would not let Batman keep the new Robin. Or any Robin. Like, okay, don't start with "but he wanted that! he would be doing it anyway!" etc etc bc you clearly don't know what you sound like; the one argument I can accept is "Robin is for kid readers to project to" but this is not, like, in-universe explanation. Imagine being a random Gotham citizen. And a boy younger than you, could be your son, could be your brother - is out there risking his life? Is it something tolerable? Does it not feel like you failed, as a citizen, if you put children in this position? "they want that" - okay, you could say the same about kids that start working at, like, fourteen, or earlier. They surely want to work, because they want to eat, or live in a house, or have any basic necessity their peers have for granted. Kids shouldn't be working - we have laws against child labor for that exact reason (I am forcing myself not to derail on that topic). So a society where a kid works is a society that failed that kid. A city where a kid is a vigilante is equally a failed one. So put yourself into the shoes of a random-ass Gotham citizen and check how you feel about it. Should, indeed, Batman keep the Robin? Like, good luck stopping him! But should he?

This is not a question of whether Robin should die. Or whether this Robin is cooler or lamer than the previous one. Not for me, at least.

Yeah, no, I know Bruce makes it out to be that Jason doesn't know the city as well as he thinks, that the city hates him, that he surely did something for the city to hate him, probably misunderstood what the city really needs... but he's wrong. He's like. Very wrong. Jason wasn't wrong, the stolen bike wasn't worth Batman's involvement, the teen who stole it didn't deserve to go to jail over it, and the breaking up of the stolen goods fence ring was, indeed, not going to amount to anything while there are people who answer to people who answer to people. He might have been wrong because the change should come from the bottom as well as from the top. But that's it, folks. He's right about everyone else.

Like, I don't know if you should take the poll at face value at all. If you should believe Bruce. Maybe Gotham citizens do hate the new Robin, the previous one was cooler. But if that's what's behind their answers - like, fuck them? Jason is right, and being popular with the masses has nothing to do with it. He's not canvassing for voters, pun not intended.

IDK, I just vibe with this issue. And honestly don't get where the criticism comes from.

[oldmanontumbler]

Rocky Horror was going to have a sequel film, Revenge of the Old Queen. The film was never produced, but the script is available online, in full.

Between writing RH(P)S and ROTOQ, O'Brien had managed to cram even more transmysoginy into his work.

It's a plot point in RHPS that three of the characters are aliens from the planet of Transsexual, in the galaxy Transylvania. We actually see TransTrans in the sequel, and its citizens are straight-up called the T-slur. As in, that is their collective title. We are Earthlings; they are [t-slurs].

A lot of the film focuses on a man named Steve Majors attempting to "expose" the fact that ~deviant aliens~ manage to mask themselves as human and infiltrate humanity for the sake of upending their society and breaking their minds with sexual ecstacy. It's not even remotely subtle.

At one point, Majors walks in on his boss watching pornography of a woman, but "it gets worse," the script informs us, because "she has something that doesn't belong on the female form."

The film's other protagonist is General Riff-Raff, O'Brien's role in the original film. As Majors works to expose the "deviant trans aliens," Riff-Raff is working - with the GOVERMENT - to keep their existence under wraps. The crux of the script's transmisogyny happens when Steve Majors drives to the house of Judy, an informant. Majors has been led to believe that Judy is very beautiful and wants to fuck him. Unfortunately, Judy has been whisked away via teleportation portal when Riff-Raff entered her house, so Riff disguises himself as her. Majors is completely smitten with him, and the script makes a big show of Riff leading him on and drugging him (for information). When Majors wakes up, the only things he is missing is both of his condoms. For the rest of the play, it's a huge joke about how masculine straight man Steve Majors is in love with the beautiful, feminine Judy ("no way she could be a man!" he proclaims, unprompted, multiple times). The script flat-out has a man dress up as a woman, drug a guy, and possibly trick him into having sex.

And the icing on the cake? The aliens of TransTrans that want you to give yourself over to pleasure, to ecstacy, to THEIR world - their world has a few pretty different social norms. Incest is commonplace; teenagers sleeping with adults is commonplace. That's such a big part of their culture that it's completely insignificant to them. And that's what O'Brien chooses to equate trans people with.

That's not a full list, but if I was to write a full list, I'd be better off just pasting a copy of Revenge of the Old Queen right into the post. RHPS and ROTOQ both beckon people to jump off from the straight and narrow and unleash their true selves, which is part of why I imagine RHPS has kept its enduring popularity. But the path to unchecked deviancy, say the stories, lies through trans people - through the stories' perversions, objectificafions, and fetishizations of them (lest we forget how Frank tricked both Brad and Janet into sleeping with him in the original film).

I voted RHPS on a whim, because I haven't seen Bound yet. If you've read this far without voting yet, scroll back up, please, and vote Bound.

Edit: both RHPS (1975) and ROTOQ (1997?) were written after the Hays Code was abolished (1968). One could make an argument for RHPS's treatment of its queer characters, but not even remotely does that hold up in terms of ROTOQ, 30 years later.

[Transcript:

Bill (Professional Henchman), wearing a black medical face mask, standing guard against a door: *to himself* "God I hate morning patrols. At least when I'm not on night patrol I'm not getting hit by Batman....Although I do have to wake up early so I might actually prefer getting hit by Batman."

Random Henchman (face exposed): *comes down the stairs* "Hey, man, Boss just called and said I'm gonna be guarding the door with you tonight."

Bill: "Sounds good. Whoa hey- where...where's your mask, man?"

Random Henchman: "Ex..excuse me?"

Bill: "Last time I checked we're still in the middle of a fucking pandemic, man. There's a mask mandate. Where's your fuckin' mask?"

RH: "Are you kidding?? Who fucking cares if there's a mask mandate, man. We're villains! We're henchmen, we're evil - we break the law all the time! It's literally our job!

Bill: "We're villains and we break the law, but we're not fuckin stupid. We still listen to science."

RH: "Maybe you do."

Bill: "What the actual fuck are you talk- we're working for a super scientist right now! That is Mr. Freeze in there!"

RH: "Don't be so fuckin' paranoid."

Bill: *closes eyes* "Tell me that a henchman in Gotham City did not just tell me to not be paranoid!!"

RH: "Fuckin' whatever. Still not wearing a mask, dude."

Bill: "Yes, the fuck you are! Or Imma report your ass to the Goonion!"

RH: "Fucking come on! Seriously, dude?"

Bill: "Absolutely! I am more concerned about my and everyone else's safety than your fuckin' friendship. Go put on a mask or you're getting reported, asshole."

RH: *glare*

Bill: *pointed look*

RH: "Fine. Fuck." *turns around* "God, you're a prick."

Bill: *calls after him sarcastically* "I'm sorry for caring about the people around me, you fucking heartless asshole!"

Bill: *mutters indistinctly to himself* "...don't even like wearing these things...get this shit over with..."

*waits*

Bill: *muttering again* "...fuckin' vaccinated, Jesus...for christ's sake..."

...

Bill: "...he go buy one from the 7/11? Where the fuck is he?"

RH: *coming back down* "I got a mask you fuckin' asshole."

Bill: "It's about fuckin ti...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??"

RH: *wearing a Cobra Commander full face helmet* "What? You said a mask! This is a mask!"

Bill: "You know good and goddamn well I meant a face mask!"

RH: "Sor-ry, but I don't carry medical grade face masks everywhere that I go!"

Bill: "Yeah, because the Cobra Commander helmet is so much more reasonable than having a- why do you have that?"

RH: "I'm a hench for hire okay? The Goonion sends me wherever I need to go and the last place I went was goddamn Cobra headquarters in Springfield!"

Bill: "That's from a another villain's henchman? That's even more reason you can't fucking wear it!"

RH: "D'you want me to wear a fucking mask or not??"

Bill: "I will just loan you a mask! Just take the helmet off!"

RH: "You mean you made me go through all this and you could have just loaned me a mask this entire fuckin time?"

Bill: "You're on year two of this motherfucker! Everyone has a mask! I did not think I was going to need to get you one or you were going to wear a fucking Cobra helmet! Take it off!"

RH: "Fine! Fuck. Goddamn it." *moves to take it off*

Bill: *mutters in disbelief* "Un-fucking-believable."

RH: *struggles with helmet, grunting*

Bill: *eyeroll* "What fuckin' now?"

RH: *muffled* "It's stuck."

Bill: "What."

RH: *frustrated groan* "It's fucking stuck, okay?"

Bill: *shakes head in disbelief* "How did you make it out of training?"

RH: *more frustrated groaning* "Are you gonna fucking help or not?"

Bill: "Fuck. Here." *pulls down helmet and feels around it* "There's a latch in the back."

RH: *grunt of approval* "There you go. Think you got it."

Bill: *stands back* "Alright. There. Jeez-"

RH: *pulls off helmet to reveal Red Hood helmet underneath* "Awesome. Thank you."

Bill: "Fuck!!!" *stumbles back and runs*

Red Hood: *to himself* "Nice to know they're at least staying safe. Welp." *cocks gun* "Time to fix that."]

So we are all sad about the last tour concert? Because i was in that mood since 2016, when they came to my country and i could not go for varius reasons, not only for not having money, you know third world and other stuff. I just hope being here and or wherever i could be in the next years for the next tour or album release or whatever they do, cause they are my favorite band, which it's kinda confused? 'cause sometimes i say: "man, i love this band or that other band" and yes i love those a lot, but what Radiohead means for me and a LOTS of people it's like irreplaceable... i would like to think, exactly i don’t know, but whatever.

The point here is that I just would like be here like a stan or something like that, you know, supporting them and talking with people who loves them as well.

So here i am like nostalgic bitch saying more stupid things. So sorry this is how i am, i already acepted that.
