Red team gets SCRAPED!!!

[alittlebitofloveliness]

Johnny Cade fic

Sometimes, keeping secrets is necessary.

For all the gang is close, close as brothers- sometimes closer than that if Soda and Steve’s weird dynamic is anything to judge by- Johnny knows that some things are best kept between two people, three in some situations, or guarded closely to oneself when a secret is more shame than anything more. It’s why he and Dally patch each other up so often and leave the others out of it, Dally with his warlike ways and gritty survival, him with his stupid broken heart and the bruises it earns him. It’s easier he thinks, to keep that sort of sharing and vulnerability for two people instead of seven, just like it’s easier for Darry to only ever truly talk to Two-bit, and for Soda to haul Steve out for a drag race when he shows up on the Curtis’ front porch with cold eyes and yet another bloody lip. Not everyone needs to know everything. Some things are best kept between a few folks, and if those things are named secrets, well, so be it. It would do more harm than good for Darry to find out what Pony says when he’s ranting to Johnny, and Dal never needed to know half the things Johnny and Darry did to get him out of scrapes he never even realized he’d gotten himself into. 

Another thing Johnny knows about secrets: some are more important than others. Knowing the nickname Steve’s mom used to call him is a far less important secret than the real reason Dal left New York, but Johnny keeps any and every secret entrusted to him locked up tight behind layers of stubbornness that could rival Pony in even his most pigheaded moods. He learned a long time ago that loose lips sink ships- and he couldn’t live with himself if something he knew and let slip ever ended with one of the gang getting hurt. Hell, he can hardly stand to live with himself now.

“Stupid grease,” For a second Johnny thinks the insult is being tossed at him, but when he looks up the soc- some asshole with the dumbest fucking haircut Johnny’s ever seen- doesn’t appear to have even noticed he’s rounded the corner as he grumbles to the rest of his buddies all dressed in letterman jackets and combover hairdos, “can’t believe some greaseball kid thinks he can work with my girl.”

“Least the kid is smart,” a guy with a yellow madras shirt Johnny recognizes from his own C level english class says. Johnny had thought he was dumb as a post before he’d been sat next to the guy. Compared to goldie he was fucking Einstein himself, “I got stuck with Rosie. Dumb bitch wouldn't recognize her own face in a mirror.”

Look who’s talking, Johnny thinks, fully intending to keep minding his own business. Socs pissed off and planning to jump a greaser kid was nothing new in the halls of Tulsa high, and he wasn’t planning to stick around and find out which unlucky guy was gonna be the latest target of the football team. Maybe they’d be stupid enough to go after Curly Shepard again and get their asses handed to him. Johnny fucking hates Curly shepard, but even he has to admit the guy is a straight up beast in a fight. Real tuff.

“Doesn’t mean I’m gonna let some freshman grease named after a damn horse chat up my girl.” The soc with the ugly haircut sneers, “we’re gonna teach that kid a lesson. Lawson says the kid’s on the track team, so we’ll catch him when he’s done practice so the coach don’t go looking.”

The soc keeps talking, joking with his buddies, probably describing in vivid detail how he’s planning on beating up Johnny’s best friend- his thirteen year old best friend- into a pulp. Johnny can’t hear it anyway- not over the roaring in his ears.

Steve is cursing and fighting with his combination lock when Johnny finds him just outside the science wing, his carefully gelled hair a stark contrast to his grease stained t-shirt. For all the dark cloud of his mood is nearly visible, Johnny still can't help but feel bad for him. Soda had officially dropped out just over a month ago and Steve was still taking it mighty hard. He kind of understood- Steve didn’t have a ton of friends besides the gang, and with Evie skipping half the week and Soda working full time, Steve's social circle at school had shrunk to near zero. 

“We got a problem,” Johnny tells him without preamble, and there’s a grim determination in Steve’s eyes when he turns to him, nodding and following him down the hallway without a word. Besides his gruff but unflinching loyalty, one thing about Steve that Johnny appreciates is that, like him, Steve feels no need for meaningless pleasantries. 

As they stalk through the halls, no doubt looking like they mean business if the way socy girls and a few fresh men give them a wide berth is anything to judge by, Steve doesn’t ask questions, no doubt knowing that Johnny will explain everything as soon as they track down Two-bit. 

“Two,” Steve barks as soon as they spot him, flirting with a pretty blonde who’s rolling her eyes but moving closer to him just the same, “let’s go. We got a problem.”

He must be able to tell he’s serious because he gives the blonde a final leer and joins them immediately.

“What’s goin’ on? I’d nearly talked her into lettin’ me take her to the Dingo on Saturday.”

“There’ll be other girls for you to disappoint sexually,” Steve rolls his eyes, “but Johnny says we got a problem right now.”

He turns to Johnny expectantly.

“I overheard some socs earlier talkin’ ‘bout Ponyboy,” Johnny starts. Both older boy’s eyes darken, comprehension dawning. This isn’t the first time one of them overheard some soc planning to give Pony a good jumping and Johnny doubts it’ll be the last, just like he knows it won’t be the last time he, Steve, and Two will fight them off before they can so much as breathe wrong in pony’s direction. Of all the secrets he keeps Johnny thinks this might be the most important, and he thinks Two and Steve feel the same way. Darry and Soda worry about Pony enough as it is, they hardly need to be terrified about him getting beat up at school too; and Pony would never forgive them fighting his battles for him. Hell, if he ever found out he’d probably pick a fight with a soc on purpose just to prove he’s tough. He still don’t get it, that he’s tough enough already for all he likes his books and movies and stuff. Not many folks can go through what Pony’s gone through and not lose a piece of themselves that Pony has kept spectacularly, miraculously, intact.

 “Said they were plannin’ on jumpin’ him after track practice,” Johnny continues, “it was some guy with a dumb haircut, and that guy I sat with in english last year. Mark somethin’?”

“Bradshaw, I think,” Steve spits, “Sounds like him and Ian Cosegrove. They were in my history class last year, and they’d probably be in Pony’s english class now he’s been moved up. One of them has that real dumb haircut?”

“That’s them.”

Two bit cracks his knuckles,  “Let’s go.”

It’s not hard to track the socs down from where they’re hanging out on the hood of some flashy mustang Johnny wished he could steal. It also isn’t hard to beat the two of them to a pulp, and their buddy who joined in too, because for all they’re football player they aren’t greasers, and they aren’t filled with the sort of fiery rage that’s coursing through Johnny’s veins, and Two-bit and Steve’s too.

Sure, no one was allowed to mess with anyone in the gang, but that went double for Ponyboy. None of them would ever be right again if anything happened to the kid, and they all knew Darry probably couldn’t survive it. Hell, Soda couldn’t either, 

Later that day, after Steve has waited around an hour to drive he and Ponyboy home just in case, Johnny hides his swollen knuckles in his jacket pockets and tucks this latest fight close to his chest, another secret best kept to himself.

He’d never have it any other way. Steve and Two wouldn’t either. The Curtis’ looked out for them all- it was only right they return the favour whenever and however they could.

Johnny listens to Pony and Steve argue, watches Two light up a cigarette, and smiles.

It’s no secret it’s tough sometimes to be a grease. But he wouldn’t have it any other way.

What are good gifts for an 8 year old boy (my brother). He likes gaming, Minecraft, gang beasts, Lego, superhero’s etc. (not sporty football stuff). These are Christmas gift ideas for my mum so expensive doesn’t matter too much. He also likes Doctor Who.

TheLreads, Vigilantes ch 120, Replies Part 2

1) “Oh so that’s why Rachel and the useless gang was here? To shout for Koichi to get him motivated?

…

You… You guys realize he’s really far away, right? He’s definitely not hearing ya.”- Should have at least brought a megaphone.  2) “Again, he’s like, really far away, and there’s the noises of the fight, not to say he’s been hit on the head a lot, he’s probably not even listening-“- He’s listening with his heart, because god knows his head’s taken too many knocks to be of use by now. 3) “Well, now you’re looking properly beaten up. Glad to see enveloping your body in your quirk did a lot to protect you.”- I mean, he’s not a walking smear of viscera, that’s gotta count for something. 4) “Damn, this probably wouldn’t happen if you had trained how to fall a bit more Koichi.”- That’s almost certainly a fractured hip and broken leg bone there, to add to his growing list of injuries. 5) “Oh you mean we’re not in the place with empty buildings anymore? Oh no, the humanity, the danger!”- The higher stakes!....which means, of course, this is the point the other heroes show up, rather than letting Koichi deal with the consequences of getting into a fight that’s above his usual level. 6) “Look Koichi, if they can’t see the danger in the giant Kaiju trying to kill you and destroying everything in it’s past then natural selection has decided their fate. Let the building come crashing down on them, it’s what nature demands.”- Times like these, you really do see Tomura’s point about how people are too “coddled” by heroes to really feel the weight and stakes of the dangerous fights they’re watching like it’s a football game. It takes an overwhelming force like Machia and Tomura to create a level of anarchy they can’t contain, and even then the heroes still blunted the worst of it from occurring. 7) “Ah right, you guys also exist. And still using trigger by the looks of it”- It’s for a good cause this time. Probably still going on their records though. 8) “well fuck you too dude, it’s not like you guys have known each other for three years for you to know his actual name.”- I believe they think it’s a cute “nickname” between them all,, because technically Cruller is neither his hero name, nor does he actually have an official one at this point in time. 9) “No shit????? If they can’t fucking assume that much then I feel like we should really have let that billboard fall on top of them”- Self-preservation truly has gone the way of the lemming in this day and age. 10) ““Glare” fucking how

he doesn’t have eyes

he doesn’t even have a face, just a mouth with surprisingly solid plasma-made teeth”- He glares with his Mind. They’re the pintos of the sky. 11) “Go go Koichi! Go plus ultra!

why nobody says plus ultra anymore ): “- Well, Koichi’s still not technically a student of UA, let alone an official hero, so… 12) “Oh fuck me now spiderman actually showed up

Glad to see Dead Jeanist finally decided to show up”- Our not-so-dead fashionable threadster is on the case! 13) “…

You know that really looks way too much like a spiderman web. It doesn’t look like a Beast Jeanist quirk activation.”- Different artists, different utilisation of the same powers. 14) “Well, took y'all fucking enough to get here”- And now they are here, the rest of the long, long fight is a mere formality. 15) “Can’t wait to see what Tensei is gonna do against the giant plasma Kaiju, not gonna lie.“- Not every hero needs to directly fight the villain, some are better used getting people to safety as quickly as possible. 16) “Ah dammit, I just realized that McBee didn’t destroy the helicopter, he just made the people fall. God dammit dude, you can’t even hit a damn helicopter. How’s the law of choppers must be destroyed is gonna be fulfilled now?”- Well, he did hit it – he just didn’t blow it up. His plasma-whip arm sheered right through the helicopter’s blades, dooming it to a downwards plummet. @thelreads

3D Games #5

Gang beasts is a fun multiplayer game as it provides 3 game modes being football, waves and melee. In gang beasts you play as a customisable wobbly character. This game is about brawling and being the last one standing while having clunky controls and ridiculous wobbly characters and over the top physics. This makes it really chaotic and fun to play with friends. The game is a bit like controlling puppets as the controls and physics are so clunky but it adds to the humour of the game and makes funny moments with friends. The art design is very sharp colours and simple but it adds to the comedic and fun aspect of the game and helps provide the light-hearted comedic style to it.

Day 3,632: What A Beast

Bang bang, Niner Gang. We demolished the Cowboys tonight on Sunday Night Football. It’s the best team we’ve faced thus far, and I definitely wouldn’t say I was worried about the game, but I was curious as to how we’d look against a plus defense and a good offense. We looked good. Very, very good. Next week, we face off against a legit GREAT defense. That will be very interesting. We scored 42…

You don't UNDERSTAND

I have been convinced Baby B, was the Second Coming ever since I read the book.

For show only fans, in the book it's revealed that Baby B survived, got discreetly adopted, and grew up to be Adam's rival in Tadfield, with a gang of kids following him around. We never get his name, only that his surname is Johnson and the Them nicknamed him "Greasy".

Here's a list of reasons why I believe Greasy, AKA Baby B, aka the real Baby Dowling, is actually Jesus:

1) "Christ" literally means "the anointed one", indicating someone who has been anointed with oil, "Greasy" potentially being a play on the term ("smeared with oil")

2) Jesus is often heavily associated with fish - he is repeatedly compared to a fisherman, one of his most famous miracles involves fish, and in Early Christianity his symbol was a fish. Greasy raises tropical fish and wins prizes for it at age 11

3) he was adopted- we don't know anything about his parents, but Jesus was technically also adopted by Joseph (speaking of which Joseph Johnson would be a totally believable name. Just saying - and TECHNICALLY Sister Mary was the one who "delivered" Baby B to his destiny, AND Mary is heavily implied to be asexual in the book as well)

4) while we don't know EXACTLY where Greasy lives, it's probably not too distant from Adam's place. Adam lives at number 666. The sequel Gaiman and Terry Pratchett had imagined was titled 668, the Neighbour of the Beast: Greasy's address???

5) at the end of the book, Greasy finds an interest in American football; he was said to potentially great at sports but without any interest for any sport; the sequel would have supposedly taken place in the US, where a newfound young champion could potentially go to play American football, ESPECIALLY if he finds out his biological parents live there (at the end of the book the Dowlings go back to the States)

6) he is said to be in every way Adam's equal and adversary. In fact, the very existence of the Johnsonites is one of the reasons Adam comes to the conclusion that the war between Heaven and Hell is bullshit ("it wouldn’t be any good at all if the Greasy Johnsonites beat the Them or the other way round"). The Antichrist's equal: Christ?

And now, 7) THE CARD IDENTIFYING BABY B WAS APPARENTLY A J ALL ALONG HOW DIDN'T I NOTICE IT BEFORE

If S3 doesn't involve Greasy being the Second Coming all along I will write the fic myself. Joshua Johnson the Greasy One is a great name

Have s2 playing in the background again and once more am thinking about the significance of misdirection, especially 3-and-1 tricks.

Across both seasons we have three versions of it mentioned:

three babies that appear to be the same but one has an antichrist in it

three lengths of rope that appear to be the same but one has more length to it

three cowrie shells that appear to be the same but one has a hidden caraway seed

With every variation of this trick, the key is to get the person watching to follow the wrong thing from the beginning. If God is the one playing three-card monte with the universe, she made everyone pay attention to the Antichrist: Heaven, Hell, angels, demons. And when they picked the card, the day the Antichrist came into his power, it turned out they'd all been looking at the wrong card the whole time.

Now, apply this idea to the three seasons. All three seasons are three-card monte. We're all looking at the wrong card.

[bastardbvby]

dream really showed up late cause he was watching football and said are you almost done😐 like if u want to play gang beasts so bad then go live bro 😭😭😭

[cafedanslanuit]

how would the rfa boys + v and saeran react if they found out mc was only eighteen after everything had already happened in their routes?

Hello! <3 Thanks for your request, I added their age to have a better reference when you read about this 18-year-old MC ~ Hope you like it! <3

Yoosung is 21

He's totally okay with it!

He will try and help you through your first year of college if you're planning to go. He will also insist on giving you a tour.

Honestly, he feels so happy he's not the baby of the group anymore

Will give you all the tips and tricks he thinks you need for your first year and will help you with your homework as much as he can.

College sweethearts! <3 You both have picnics on campus, study together at the library and even share some kisses on an empty classroom. You go watch football games together and you’re first in line for his first E-Sports competition at college. You hug him in front of everyone when his team wins and he melts right there.

Zen is 23

He's having a panic attack about kissing A BABY.

He talked about The Beast TO A BABY.

You explain you're just five years younger than and that's not---- SILENCE, WENCH.

He just needs a moment.

It's hard to understand how can you be so emotionally mature. When he was your age he was in a motorcycle gang doing races and here you are, the brand new member of a charity society that just pulled off a party full of important and renowned guests.

He’s impressed.

After the shock wears off, he’ll go back to his normal self, but will be 100 more times protective of you than he was before.

And when he found out Jaehee had lent you a copy of his infamous Jalapeño performance…

Just to say he almost didn’t let you.

But you later watched it together, leading to some private time for you both.

Jaehee is 26

A little Concerned™

Like Jumin, she's a little wary of the age difference.

So when you open your coffee shop, she takes the role of a mentor at first. Then, as time goes by, she learns more and more about your personality and falls deeper in love with you.

You have to do the first move, but when you do, she’s pleasantly surprised.

She absolutely adores how much life you bring to the shop, and is always down for giving you advice so you don’t make the same mistakes she made.

“What do you mean mistakes?” “I did endure a career I hated for years” “Oh, but without it, you wouldn’t have had the money to start your own business!”

She’s even more in love with you now.

Jumin is 27

*dances in Becky G’s ‘Mayores’*

He did think you looked a lot younger than he did, but he never thought he was proposing to an eighteen-year-old

AND THAT YOU SAID YES

I just picture him furrowing his eyebrows and drinking a glass of wine at his penthouse trying to process this new information because it’s too much to deal with

He will apologize for kissing you because he didn't know you were still a child

“Jumin, I’m not a child” “I’m ten years older than you” “Nine! :(“

He will not cancel the wedding but will definitely postpone it. Not only does his money and social status create an imbalance of power, but now knowing he's almost ten years older than you, he feels a marriage may not be the best for you at this moment.

*sad Jumin noises*

He’s really captured by the way you look at him with bright, wide-open eyes as he tells you about the places he’s travelled to. You tell him you wish you had the chance to visit those countries and he tells you he’d be more than happy to rediscover them with you

You will keep dating for a couple more years until he brings up the wedding again, to which you say yes (again).

Saeyoung is 22

He uses a lot of "When I was your age..."

“Babe, it's just four years, it's not a big deal.”

He doesn't listen.

When he notices you're on the verge of actually being angry, he will hug you as tightly as he can while he laughs until you’re smiling again.

Honestly, he would have been a little scared you wouldn't have lived enough to understand 

his pain, but you happily surprised him.

You bring out a protective side of him he’s not used to, but he absolutely adores.

V is 27

Like Jumin, he’s a little surprised at first. But he doesn’t have much time to think about it since he decides to go away for two years. When he comes back, you’re 20.

He didn’t expect you to wait for him. He understood you were young and were just about to begin discovering the world around you. It would make sense if you had been dating, he sure had when he was your age.

So when he came back to the party and found you with longer hair but the same loving smile, he was really surprised.

But maybe he had been right after all. Maybe you two were meant to be together.

He takes you on his trips as he opens temporal galleries in different countries. Some of them are for his old photos, but he starts showcasing his paintings as well.

He encourages you to find out what you really love and stick to it, not letting yourself be pressured by what your parents or peers think you have to do.

Two years later after adopting your first child, you end up pregnant. Since you’re way younger than him, it means your body handles the pregnancy fairly good, and he’s ecstatic to be able to share that moment with you.

Saeran is 22

Like Yoosung, he doesn’t really care about your age.

That doesn’t stop Saeyoung from teasing you two.

He didn’t have the chance to grow properly, so it’s good you’re a little younger since you both can explore new things together.

You had your first drunk night together, you learnt to swim together, you both learnt how to drive a car (and maybe used one of Seven’s car and a far-away parking lot to do that) and you were each other’s first time.

You play him your favourite movies and he catches up with the ones he didn’t have a chance to see while growing up.

When you had finally learnt how to swim, you convinced him to go skinny dipping at the ocean on a particularly hot summer night.

Reunion- Ch 2: alstroemeria (Drake x MC TRRAU FanFic)

Hello! I am so excited to show you guys the second chapter to Reunion!

I’m sorry this took sooooooo long to upload. My personal life has been super hectic lately, and I haven’t had time to really write! 

(Drake, Liam, Hana, Maxwell and any other The Royal Romance characters belong to Pixelberry! Katherine Delacroix belongs to me!)

Series Overview: Reunion is a short series about Drake Walker and Katherine Delacroix, along with their friends, Maxwell, Hana and Liam. In this series, we see the gang at a high school reunion, five years after they’ve graduated. There will be flash backs, taking place up to nine years ago (the start of high school) up to when they graduate. You’ll get to see how the gang came together, and how they fell apart, only to come back together, and the main focus is how Drake and Katherine come back to each other after years apart.

All chapters of this series are named after flowers, with certain meanings. This chapter is named “alstroemeria”. It has meaning of friendship, love, strength and devotion. They're often thought to represent mutual support. And the ability to help each other through the trials and tribulations of life. This chapter, it flashes back to where the group of five became friends.

Let me know if you’d like to be tagged in future chapters!

Katherine and Hana spent the rest of their first day back after five years in Cordornia preparing for the next night. They tried to plan out just how long they would stay and who they would talk too if those people showed up.

“Hana, are you really sure we should be there that long? I feel like two hours is more than enough time to say hi, have a drink and get the fuck out of there.” Katherine complained as she fished for her pajamas in her suitcase.

“We came all the way here for this reunion, we might as well stay longer than two hours; possibly even the whole time, Kat.” Hana said, a small chuckle escaping her lips. “Besides don’t you wanna see Olivia again?”

“I don’t really want to see much of anyone to be honest, Hana. I’d rather go get a couple drinks and maybe say hi to Olivia, if she even shows up and then I want to bounce.” The truth was, she did miss Olivia and all the fun nights the three had during junior and senior year, she just wasn't going to admit it.

Hana shook her head and continued to put away her clothes in the dresser that they shared in the room as Katherine changed into her pajamas. “Should we order room service?”

“I think a better question is, can we order alcohol?” Hannah laughed.

-

The next day as Katherine was preparing herself mentally, her mind wandered back to sophomore year of high school, the year that Hana and her became friends with a few others who soon had become the closest thing to family she had had in a long time. Family, she sadly remembered, that barely talked to her or Hana anymore.

8 years ago

Liam and Drake were two of the most popular boys at the high school. Both were star football players and in the winter, star basketball players. A lot of the girls tried their best to get the boys to notice them, but sadly none of their efforts worked. It wasn’t until one Saturday in detention that they met two other girls who would soon become their best friends, as well as another man who was known for his shenanigans.

“Alright, this is Saturday detention. All of you know why you are here. Your assignment for today is to write an 1000 word essay on how you recognize that your actions have consequences. I will be in my office which is just down the hall and I will come check on you periodically to make sure you are writing quietly. Once the bell rings at 3 o’clock, you’ll be dismissed and can go home for the day.” Dean Constantine told the teenagers, a strict tone in his voice.

All of the students rolled their eyes but complied nonetheless. After about an hour of trying to focus on anything other than the assignment, a tall boy with sandy brown hair finally spoke, breaking the silence that hung in the room.

“All right, I’m kind of over the silence. Not sure if anyone else is, but hey guys, I’m Maxwell. I’m in here because I made a stink bomb in science class and the teachers weren’t so happy about it and neither were the other students.” He smiled triumphantly as if he was proud.

“That was you? I’ll never be able to get that smell out of my nose. Good job.” Katherine smiled. “I’m Katherine and I’m here because Hana,” she paused and pointed to Hana who sat next to her. “and I decided to go off campus for lunch and they found out and caught us when we were coming back.” She looked at the two boys sitting side-by-side a few rows behind them in the classroom. “What about you two?”

“Someone on the junior varsity team was giving me some lip, so, I punched him in the lip.” The darker haired boy said, holding up his hand to show the bruises on his knuckles. Katherine eyed him, wondering how strong he was.

“I got in trouble because I tried to break up the fight but the coach thought I had helped start it, so thanks to this one I am in yet another Saturday detention.” He playfully shoved his friend.

“Oh please, Liam. You would’ve been here regardless just because your dad makes you come here.” Drake laughed.

“Who’s your dad?” Hana asked.

“Well as Drake so helpfully mentioned, my dad would put me in Saturday detention regardless because it’s his way of keeping an eye on me. My father is the dean of the school, Dean Constantine.” Liam said, a somber look on his face.

“No shit, are you serious?!” Katherine asked, her eyes wide.

“Sadly.” Liam replied, expression flat.

“So what you’re saying is that you can leave whenever you want because you’re just gonna be here next Saturday anyway? Why are you here then?”

“Let’s just say it would be hell at home if I ditched.” Liam grimaced.

“And what would he do to us if we just got up and left?” Katherine asked, Hana giggling next to her.

“He probably would just give you guys another Saturday detention to be honest. Most of the students here never do anything that would require suspension or expulsion.” Drake explained.

“I think it would be wise if you guys just got through this day and not provoke the beast.” Maxwell chimed in, not wanting to get into any more trouble, as he was in Saturday detention almost as often as Liam.

“Really? Because I say that when it gets to lunch time we all sneak out, get past him and then ditch this place and go to the beach or something.”

“Katherine as much as I love that idea I really don’t wanna have another Saturday detention. My parents would literally kill me.” Hannah said with a frown on her face.

Katherine didn’t much care what happened to her but she did care what happened to her best friend, so, even though it frustrated her and as much as she wanted to leave this hellhole, she nodded, agreeing, before saying “You’re right, Hana, we should probably just stick it out and then go back to my house.” She looked at the three men surrounding them. “I know we just all met each other but you guys are welcome to come with us to my house afterwards. My grandma is a nurse and she works mostly night shifts so she’ll be gone, meaning we can raid the liquor cabinet.” Last year, Katherine would have never asked this to anyone besides Hana. Becoming friends with Hana had made her enjoy life again, made her want to make friends again.

“You drink?” Liam asked, sincerely.

“Usually Hana and I will sneak a couple drinks sometimes but we don’t usually drink.”

“Well if your grandma has some whiskey, I’d be down.” Drake said. “My old man, before he passed, would drink whiskey all the time. Sometimes he would let me have a little sip. I always told myself once I was old enough I have glass in his honor.”

Katherine’s felt tugs on her heart strings. She felt for Drake since, she too, knew the pain of losing a parent. The difference is that she lost both of hers. Though she didn’t really know him so she didn’t know if his mom was still in the picture.

“All I know is is that I don’t want to deal with my brother when I get home so I'm gonna go where you go, Katherine.” Maxwell said, saluting her as if she was the group’s leader.

“And then there was one.” Katherine smiled at Liam.

“Well I have nothing better to do and it’s better than going home to my dad who's always in a bad mood, so, sure I’m down.” Liam smiled softly, a hint of sadness showing before he quickly looked away, hiding his emotions.

“All right, it’s settled then. After we get out of here we will follow Katherine back to her place and we’ll have a good time.” Hans said, clapping in her hands in excitement.

As soon as 3 o’clock came around and the bell dismissed them, Katherine took off running as soon as she was out the door, the rest running close behind her. ”Come on guys, what are you? A bunch of snails?” Katherine laughed as she ran on ahead.

Drake and Liam quickly caught up to her. “You wish we were snails. Not our problem you decided to choose a race between two star football players.” Drake smirked. Maxwell caught up to them a minute later saying “And I’m on the track team!”

Katherine slowed down matching Hana’s pace, chuckling. “Jokes on them, they don’t know where I live.” The girls laughed when the men came to a stop, wondering where they were going. Katherine then proceeded to show them the rest of the way to the house and instead of running they walked.

Present

“Hey, Kat, are you okay?” Hana’s voice snapped Katherine out of her memories. She turned her head and looked at her best friend in the entire world, who had a worried look on her face.

“I’m just having a little anxiety about tonight. What am I going to say to him if he shows up?” Katherine said, panic showing on her face. If he showed up, she didn’t know what she would do. Katherine wasn’t sure if she was ready to face the reality of what happened to them.

“I think you’ll know when the time comes. I can’t tell you what to say, it wouldn’t be authentic.” Hana gave her a small smile. “Now come on, it’s time to put on your make up and get dressed!” Katherine threw a pillow at her, making both of them laugh.

“Okay. Let’s do this.” She said, rising from the bed and walking to the bathroom to start her make-up. Katherine wasn’t sure how tonight would go, but she couldn’t run anymore. She had to finally face him.

[dixtrich]

BLAKE DIETRICH ( HE/HIM ) is a MALE, TWENTY-FIVE year old SOCIALITE/GANG MEMBER who has been living in Moorbrooke for TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. Right now, they are currently residing in ELMSETT GREEN. It has been said that they look suspiciously like NICHOLAS GALITZINE and if they had to choose a song to describe themselves, they would choose WITNESS by MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE.

Baby boy Blake was never the golden boy as much as he tried. Since he was born, he caused nothing but trouble for his mother at least; his father never paid much attention, being honest. He was born during a camping trip; Ms. Dietrich started with contractions and even bleeding while swimming in the lake. She was hurried to the hospital and because of that, he was named Blake which means Son of Lake.

He was second to an older brother named Quade: the football star in high school, the one everybody talked about and you cannot blame them! He was quite the charmer, quite the… manipulator. Blake always stood in his shadow, but he didn’t really mind, Quade was the only one who ever really paid attention to him. You see, his father was an important business man while his mother was basically a socialite back when they lived in New York before he was born. They moved to Moorbrooke because little towns were in that season. Blake’s dad kept going to NY to keep up with his office job and sometimes the mother would go with him to update her wardrobe. ( more to come on the parents later ).

The matters of normies never affected them much until there were some news about a possible gang in town and still, it was a rather unimportant thing... until they took Quade.        SPOILER: Quade is alive.

The family mourned so much for a month and afterwards, they just closed Quade’s bedroom door and kept it like that forever, ignoring the memory of their son and ignoring their pain. Blake didn’t find the truth of what happened to his brother until he was around 17 years old. Quade came to him in the shape of a beast, not quite literally, but on his window appeared the silhouette of a man with a mask. Long story short: Quade was alive, he had faked his death by hands of the gang to start anew as the new leader said gang that had been terrorizing Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont. This gang was called THE PACK and their distinctive nature was the use of animal masks to hide their identities; Quade as leader, was the only one allowed to use a human skull mask.

Blake was inivited to join him and since Quade was the only one who accepted him, he said yes. Anything for his big brother. He joined The Pack under the identity of HELLHOUND. While using the mask, far from being a regular mid-twentieth boy, Blake became a strategist and a killing machine with guns and cars. He was the image of anarchy itself disrupting order and creating mayhem anywhere he stepped. Gunshots, arson, uncontrollable parties and so on. Hellhound followed the leader’s rules with eagerness as long as he could rip apart and destroy whatever or… whoever.

But nobody knew! For everyone else, he was still one to go to church every Sunday, attending cocktail parties to pass the time and getting ready to join his father’s company; although he had secretly started taking some online courses and clases of history and literature because his main goal in life was to become a poet.

A strong Gryffindor, Blake is playful and madly loyal; one to pull at your hair during mass but one to follow the rules when he is under Quade’s orders. Bad Boy ‘til the end, he has a reputation for getting in trouble, but nothing ever too damaging to actually get arrested. Not a favorite of the cops most likely. Secretly sweet and with a secret knack to bake and write, but these are not hardcore so people don’t really know about them. Loves attention, used to get in trouble at school so his parents paid attention to him.

I am sure I missed a bunch of stuff but I wanted to get this out asdlkf. Will be updating!

Fun facts:

Is actually really good with kids!

Loves bubbles smh.

With the mask on, he is a whole different person and can act more feral.

Sadistic tendencies.

He loves playing pretend and being a good boy at important rich people’s parties.

Out of the mask he is teasing and even kinda immature, he will stick his tongue out to you and everything if he finds out that annoys you.

You can see him competing in illegal racing at least three times a week!

The Pack is mainly into weapon trafficking and doing just anything that pays good enough.

Is good, but being good never brought him any good. Very street smart and of quick thinking, but Quade manipulates him just too much.

Aesthetic:

A BIG SPECTRAL BLACK DOG THAT STARES FROM YOUR BACKGROUND

ABSOLUTE ANARCHY.

The Treatment of Captain Syverson-Chapter Six: Sensory Integration 2

Pairing: Captain “Sy” Syverson x OFC (Shane Benton)

Summary: It’s a fine night for a walk by the water with a handsome vet holding your hand. I think that says it all.

Behind on your sessions? Want more from the author? Click Me

Word Count: Almost 1.9k (a bit shorter, hopefully y’all don’t mind by the end!)

Warnings: Basically still fluff, but also some saucy morsels near the end…not full on smut, though, so don’t get too excited. We aren’t there yet, my little lovelies. Soon, though…soon.

Author’s Note: As I said before, this date totally got away from me, nearing a whopping 6k in total. Thanks again for all the love. And in other news, I told a couple of my PT friends about this story, and one of them agreed to be my official technical consultant on the project for future chapters and even if I wanna flesh it out, modify it to include strictly “original” characters, and eventually take it to a publisher! I sent what I’ve done so far to her just before I started drafting this post, so hopefully she’ll have good insight for me! She said it was about time someone wrote a story like that! Lol! (She reads  a lot, so I guess people really don’t think of PTs as the heroines of love stories. Sad, really! Most of the ones I know are lovely and loving people!) The other was just instantly excited and can’t wait to read it.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately for me, Henry is not mine, le sigh, and all mention of him, his characters, any characters from his films, or his precious doggy, Kal, are strictly for transformative and recreational use. I neither ask for, nor accept payment for the work I post on Tumblr or AO3. Unbeta’d because this is for fun and escapism.

The lake was fairly near her clinic, not two blocks away. He wasn't wrong about her feeling up to a walk when the time came. She was looking forward to the fresh night air near the lake. It was a deep-seated part of who she was to love the water.

He'd pulled into the small, empty gravel lot at the head of the paved walking trail. It was well dark since it had just turned 10:00, and the moonlight danced off the water, calm, but with a faint shimmer from the light breeze. The stars danced, winking at them as if they knew the romance that surged between the couple was burgeoning right here below them.

"Now, last time I walked this trail, I'll warn you…I got approached by a gang. And they were…pretty vicious. I had to resort to some guerilla tactics that I'm not too proud of to fend 'em off."

"Oh no!" she wasn't aware of any gang crime in their fairly peaceful city! "What kind of gang?"

"A goose gang." He looked at her gravely. Before they both burst out laughing in hysterics.

"I thought you were serious!" she wiped tears carefully from her eyes with the back of her hand.

"I was! They are stupid territorial! I had several of them tryin'a bite at my legs at once. It was quite the ordeal, I assure you!" he said, serious, but still laughing.

"Well, you'll save me if the Ya-Gooz-ah descend on us tonight, wont you?" she teased, clutching at his arm in mock fright at the thought of a band of Yakuza Geese being an actual thing, but thinking it was a great way to keep him touching her.

"As long as you stay real close to me, sunshine. I'll protect you from the devil himself." He kissed her on the top of the head, sealing the promise and warming her from the point of contact all the way to her toes.

As they traipsed along the pavement path, they talked about everything and nothing, the gentle night wind a whisper against their skin, which had been made slightly dewy from the walk and the humidity. They had made two laps around the small body of water when they came back around to one of several benches placed at intervals on the trail running its perimeter. Without breaking their conversation, she pointed to the nearest one, indicating her desire to sit, which he understood and lead them there.

“See, the problem I have with sports at that level, especially football is the harm I’ve witnessed it do to a kid’s body. We’ve treated athletes in high school and as early as 7th and 8th grade that the coaches are completely obsessed with getting them out on the field or court again. These kids are taking more impact than their bodies are ready for. They can’t miss a game, or even practice for therapy even if they’re just riding pine. And the parents are so laser focused on that potential college scholarship for that sport that they can’t see that if their child doesn’t get better, no scout is gonna want to dole out a free ride. Not to a broken-down athlete. Did you feel that kind of pressure when you were playing football? Because I don’t remember it at my school.” She went off a on bit of a tangent because she’d just been told by Heather before she left that her torn meniscus, Jason couldn’t get in for several weeks because of his practice and game schedule limiting his availability.  

“I mean, I felt pressure, I guess, but not outside of practice or the games. I’d hurt my knee my junior year early, same one we been workin’ on, and they just had me sit out a few weeks and work with a PT, but I don’t remember it being a problem to miss out on anything related to football if it was because of my health.” He sat down next to her on the fiberglass bench, which was molded to have the look of fine blonde wood, and put his arm around her shoulder. No pretense of the reach, no awkwardly sitting for a while beforehand, just continuing to touch her as he had been their whole walk.

She leaned into his shoulder, comfortably, as if they’d done this a thousand times and this wasn’t their first date. And continued their discussion.

“What has gotten into people these days? It’s like they’re not satisfied with anything. Nothing is ever enough for a single person on this good earth!” She sighed, frustrated by the neediness of people that seemed to come with her own job and projecting that on to the world…not that there wasn’t at least a measure of truth in it.

“Personally speaking, I think you’re wrong.”

“You don’t think that the world is full of dissatisfied Karens?” She laughed.

“Oh I do. But it’s not every person. You’re sitting next to one very content man right here.”

“Yeah?”

“Mmhmm.” He confirmed.

“Was it the steak, or the lobster mac?” She’d be fantasizing about them both until the next time they went there. Yeah, she was already thinking about “next time” and “they.” She was in trouble.

“Not to knock either, but I’m a hun’ert percent sure it was the company.” He pressed a kiss to her temple.

She smiled, nuzzling into him, feeling the downy softness of his shirt again and smelling his intoxicating cologne. She suddenly remembered a promise from their session.

“Oh, hey. I was gonna have a response for you…to your 'question' from earlier.” She said, mischief burning in her eyes. She kneeled up on the bench and turned his face to hers, brushing a hand against his impossibly soft beard before descending slowly in for a kiss.

It started sweet, a few languid, full pecks, then she parted her lips barely enough for her tongue to venture out to explore his full mouth. They were met after several attempts with a reciprocal openness from him. She dared, then to search him with her tongue. It was simply browsing now. Feeling no rush to complete its quest. Only a sense of the need for due diligence. She was surprised at the flavor she'd encountered. She hadn't seen him pop a mint, and she hadn't left his side all evening. He was sly. It was a sweet and strong taste. Wintergreen on steroids, with the mildest hint of vanilla. She wanted more. Of the flavor. Of him.

She let her tongue find his, knowing what would happen, somehow, even though they had never kissed like this before. Never when it wasn't rushed and needing to be…PG. Here in the dark of night, with no one but the celestial bodies as witnesses, they didn't have to worry about her job, or the public. The judgement of the outsider's gaze.

She knew, by instinct alone, that this would spark him into more than latent participation. And that's exactly why she did it. As previously stated, she was definitely an intentional beast when the occasion called and mood struck.

He did as she'd expected, his own tongue waking, beginning a playful dance with hers, exploring her mouth with more urgency and desire, pulling a ragged gasp from her lungs. She broke away to give some attention to his neck. She held him by the base of his head, thumb playfully brushing into his thick facial hair. A breathy moan that sounded very much like her name escaped his lips. This was the reaction she had been dying to get from him for so long. A surrendering bliss that only came from this kind of personal, intimate, and one-one connection. She'd gotten hints of it when she'd helped him stretch, when she heard those stifled groans he felt at the good hurt she brought him with her expert touch.

She bit his earlobe, and sealed her fate. He growled and pulled her up to his lap in an immodest straddle. Not that she cared in the empty dark. He seemed to need her lips back on his, desperate to find a purchase that would never present itself. The paradox of a kiss.

His hands roved over the back of her from neck to behind, very much favoring the latter. It was an odd sensation. Most of her experience with ass-grabbing had been less than pleasant. Either dirty old men had touched her without consent, or boyfriends had done essentially the same thing as a show of their dominance over her, also without her strictest consent. The way Sy held her was tender, exploratory, and…she couldn't help but think the word loving. "Love" wasn't a word they were ready to even bring up. But she thought he was showing it in his feather touch and hungry kiss.

The breeze was cool, and felt extra cold where she seemed to be warmest. Her position had her…very exposed to the elements, covered only by the fine layers of her underwear at some angles. She was suddenly very aware that they were on a precipice here. If they carried on much longer like this, she wasn't going to want to stop. She already didn't. And she was just out of practice enough to be unsure of where her point of no return was. Dammit. She broke away, in agony from it.

"Sy, I…I think …you should take me back." she stuttered.

"Okay." he pulled her back in for another kiss, pretending to misinterpret,which she indulged a moment but quickly escaped.

"No, sweetie." she chuckled. "You know what I mean."

"Or…I could bring you home with me." It was only a suggestion, but there was a plea in his eyes that pulled at her guts. He wanted her. And she wanted him. With every single cell in her body, she wanted every singe cell of his. But she truly felt that taking things slowly was the best option given the complexities of their situation.

"You don't know how badly I want to accept that invite, Sy." she rested her forehead on his. They were both breathless.

"It's just two little letters, sunshine. O. K. Easy as granny's peach pie."

"I'm terrible at pie crust." they laughed.

"Let's go." he said, helping her off his lap, and preparing to stand, but sitting back down immediately.

"What's wrong?" she asked, concerned. "Is it the knee? Did I hurt it?" she was already mad at herself, and at him a bit, if this indiscretion had caused him a setback…how ironic it would be!

"Nope, knee's great. Dandy."

"Did you get lightheaded?"

"No, but uhh…it's definitely SOME sort of blood flow issue. Gonna need a minute." he explained without explaining with a sheepish expression on his face…it hit her like a speeding bus.

"Ope." she looked to his lap without thinking, and immediately averted to the water again, as she sat beside him, hands clasped over the seat of the bench. His hand found hers, and covered it, asking to hold it, and getting its way.

"I had…the best time tonight, Shane." he told her, staring at the opposite bank where the maple, oak, and sycamore trees swayed to the tune of the gentle night's breeze.

"So did I, Sy."

"You free tomorrow?" he asked, hopefully.

"You tell me!" she replied…hopefully.

JOCK

Mark Simpson, best known as Jock, is a Scottish comic book artist and illustrator. He began his career in 1999 working on the British comic book publisher 2000 AD (where most of the British artists and writers, began their career, before going to the major leagues like DC and Marvel), and started working with characters like the Judge Dredd.

The artist began his career in the USA with The Losers, at Vertigo (a subdivision of DC comics), and some issues of the Green Arrow.

He also have worked with conceptual arts for various films such as Iron man 3, X-men days of the future past, and Star Wars episode VIII.

I have known Jock for a while, I have seen many of his works in the comics, and he is known for working mainly with covers, where he does extremely surreal works, mixing various types of colors, and always uses a lot of shading, not worrying if the characters are in the correct proportion, because that is not his proposal.

But I know he did some works as a sequential artist, like The Losers, for example, where he makes extremely tight pictures, always focusing on the expressions of the characters, and especially on the hands that he most likes to do.

His storyboards or sketches are very different, because his drawings do not follow the traditional way of being centered on the pictures, many of his characters are jumping over the pictures, to show the size of the action scene that Jock wants to do.

It is worth remembering that he mixes his drawings made with pencil and nanquin, with digital, often taking pictures of different landscapes or scenarios, and drawing over them, and mixing with his drawn character to make an interesting composition.

Despite all this, he has a very peculiar style, which many people complain about the lack of movement and poses that his characters does. That his lines are also very dirty and dark. But Jock says, that this is his way of drawing, that he likes to have a not so commercial style, like many other artists. He likes to play with colors and likes to draw his characters, in a little more simple poses, and glorifying the background.

Saul Bass

Saul Bass was an American graphic designer and filmmaker, he’s known for designing movie posters and title sequences.

For 40th years, he worked with Hollywood greatest filmmakers, such as Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese and Billy Wilder.

Bass was born in New York in 1920, to a Jewish family, he was all ways drawing when he was a child.He graduated from James Monroe High school in the Bronx. He studied part time at art students league in Manhattan, and moved to Brooklyn College, where he had classes with György Kepes, a famous Hungarian painter and photographer.

He began in Hollywood in the 40’s, designing prints for films like champion (1949), death salesman (1951) and the moon is blue (1953).

He became widely known for creating the title sequence for Otto Preminger’s The man with the golden arm (1955), which’s about a jazz musician, addicted to heroin. Bass decided to create a poster which dialogues with the controversial subject, so he chosed the arm as the central object, as is a image which relates with heroin.

For Alfred Hitchcock, he provided memorable posters, like Vertigo(1958), North by Northwest(1959) and Psycho(1960).

For Martin Scorsese he had done the posters of The Goodfellas(1990), Cape Fear (1991), the Age of innocence (1993) and Casino (1995).

For Stanley Kubrick, he designed Spartacus (1960), and probably the best poster in his career, which is the poster from The Shining (1980).Kubrick, however, wasn’t amused. On the sketches themselves (which were later discovered in his personal affects) he wrote “Looks like science fiction.”Title looks small, looks like the ink didn’t take on the part that goes light,” and “Maze too abstract and too much emphasis on maze,” and, the most scathing of all, “Don’t like artwork.”

More discussions followed, and Bass agreed upon an illustrative approach of a large head peering through the title.As Kubrick instructed, the poster evokes both “terror” and the “supernatural.”

Bass once told,that his main goal for his titles sequences is “try to reach for a simple, visual phrase that tells you what the picture is all about and evokes the essence of the story".

James Cameron

James Cameron is a famous film director, which is for having two of the greatest box office films of all time, which are Avatar and Titanic. In addition, he is always revolutionizing in special effects, always bringing something new and revolutionary, but it all starts on his drawing desk, with his sketches and storyboards.

James Cameron has always been known for creating extremely interesting worlds, and completely out of the ordinary. Starting with the film Aliens, the sequel to Ridely Scott's film, where he expanded this world by creating an ecosystem for the aliens, in addition to showing futuristic equipment, for the space army that faces the aliens.

He also created concepts, for the Terminator films 1 and 2, where it was an idea never before seen of a robot that travels in time to kill a person. Its detailed perfectly drawn storyboards show one of the most interesting scenes in the film, where the terminator does a self surgery, revealing his true form.

And finally, once again creating a whole world, with a fauna and flora never seen before in the movie Avatar.

Cameron always wanted to create worlds, so he putted everything on a piece of paper when he was a child, where later, he took courses of drawings and did art colleges, to get a clearer idea of ​​how his worlds and characters could be.

Before being a director, he wanted to be a writer and an artist, but he never thought his ideals could be just in a book, he wanted to expand these ideas in a way never seen before.

Perhaps what impresses me most about James Cameron, besides being a creative force, is all the care he takes with his works, he said in an interview, which he always preserves all his storyboards, even from those films that he never made or did not work, and said that almost every day, he sits at his drawing desk and tries to come up with possible scenes for any film he is making. And when he creates an interesting scene, he tries to invent a whole story, to get to that specific scene.

Glen Keane

Glen Keane was born on April 23, 1954, in the city of Philadelphia, United States. Early on, he became interested in art while watching his cartoonist father Bill Keane draw. After finishing high school, he turned down a scholarship to play football and signed up for CalArts- California Institute of Arts.

Keane signed up for the painting program, he wanted to be a visual artist. However, his application was accidentally sent to the animation department, then Film Graphics. The college vetoed him to change course, so he stayed there.

Glen’s passion for painting helped him tremendously in animation, since the first skill an animator must have is knowing how to draw. Do not simply draw, but really know anatomy and how to give the illusion of weight.

His first work was Bernardo and Bianca in the kangaroo land. In the following years Keane worked on other features such as the Hound and the fox, Oliver and his gang , treasure planet, and the list goes on.

But it’s was at the time called the Disney Renaissance that Keane stood out. He animated Ariel the little mermaid, Beast from the beauty and the beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Tarzan, and most recently, was Rapunzel (Tangled).

At the time, Keane and the animators, had to use the traditional animation (by using paper), so him and his crew had to plan, all the scenes and poses, by doing storyboards, and later drawing on the paper frame by frame (the frequency to project a film in the cinema is twenty four frames per second, twenty four drawings in total were needed for each second of animation seen on screen).

There is no professional on the animation field, who does not know the name Glen Keane. He is the reference to all of them. What sets him apart, is his passion for his characters. During the production of the animations, Keane understands them and is thus able to perform better.

In all of his roles Oliver Reed gave off a sense of menacing assurance. A few other tough Brits:

Michael Caine in Get Carter. D: Mike Hodges (1971). A gangster trying to find his brother’s killer works his way through his old associates. And kills them. Caine has never been tougher or had more pungent dialogue. (“You know, I’d almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow.”)

Vinnie Jones in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. D: Guy Ritchie (1998). Jones a former roughneck football star, plays a tough-as-nails debt collector who often takes his young son along to work. While beating up a debtor he says “Mind your language in front of the boy” and slams a tanning door on him. When the hood says “Jesus Christ!” he does it again. “That’s for blasphemy.”

Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast. D: Jonathan Glazer (2001). Kingsley is a mob enforcer trying to get “retired” criminal Ray Winstone to take one last job --- and absolutely will NOT take “no” for an answer. “Retired? F--- off, you’re revolting. Look at your suntan, it’s leather, it’s like leather man, your skin. We could make a f---ing suitcase out of you. Like a crocodile, fat bastard. You look like f---ing Idi Amin, you know what I mean? Stay here? Who do you think you are? King of the castle? Cock of the walk?” And on and on, a torrent of verbal (and physical) abuse that won Kingsley his most deserved Oscar nomination. He’d have eaten Gandhi for breakfast.

Clive Owen in Shoot ‘Em Up. D: Michael Davis (2007). He starts by rescuing a pregnant woman, killing her assailant with a carrot. That’s just the start of this Rube Goldbergesque slapstick action-fest held together by Owen’s poker face.

Tom Hardy in Legend. D: Brian Helgeland (2015). Ronnie and Reggie Kray were gangsters in 50s and 60s London, of a certain glamorous viciousness. Hardy plays them both from their brutally violent seizure of a nightclub to their arrest for killing a rival gang leader. And Hardy blows up  the whole idea of stunt casting by playing them as one twisted and violent soul split down the middle.

Behind the Fic: TW:OPT - Chapter 72 - 77

This is it, guys. We’ve finally reach the end of “Break & Gosh”! Thank you so much for sticking around until now. Oh boy, we are way past 75 chapters. I don’t know if I should be proud or worried of myself.

So, this will be the last note before we continue to a brand new Arc!

WARNING: This will contain a bit of spoiler for the newest chapters of my fan fiction Twisted-Wonderland: Our Precious Treasure. Click here to read the whole mini-arc from the beginning!

Before we actually start, let me tell you about the title of this Arc "Break & Gosh". Following the Nickelodeon TV Series parody title, this Arc was named after the show "Drake & Josh". I tried to find some word that time with the title and came up with this. I don't really like the title, but it sort of grew on me.

All of this mini-arc title were actual lyrics from Hyperdrive, the Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds' English dub opening. I kinda forget why I chose this.

This arc itself can be separated into two: Leona's Therapy (72-73) and Magishift Rematch (74-77)

Following what I did in The Crimson Tyrant, I gave Leona two 'therapy' chapters, just like how I gave two pay-off chapter for Riddle. So we have the comparison:

Chapter 30: Early Summer-Rain Honesty!  =  Chapter 62: There's More To Be Seen Than Can Ever Be Seen!

Chapter 31: Take a Break and Get Away!  =  Chapter 72: I Can Hear You Breathin'! 

Chapter 32: Reigning Beast! =  Chapter 73: I Can See You Comin'!

However, unlike Riddle’s, the therapy chapters for Leona was more Leona-centric. While I can still put some filler content in Riddle's, Leona's chapter is exclusive for Leona (with Ruggie and Jonah)

Unlike Riddle, Leona's therapy was way harder to write because, again, I didn't experience the same thing as Leona. I remember being compared, but my usual response was like: "Suck it up." Meanwhile, I feel like Leona took that comparison to the heart which made him think that all his effort is for nothing.

The entire first half of “Chapter 72: I Can Hear You Breathin'!” was improvised. I didn't plan for Grim or Ruggie to appear, however, the plan had changed.

A reference to the canon, here, Ruggie also used [Laugh With Me] on Leona

I also feel like Jonah and Leona are way harder to connect than Jonah and Riddle. Jonah is easier to connect with people who are the same age as him than those who are older.

This also adds that Riddle was pretty much grateful that Jonah said he wants to be his friend back in. So, he could trust him.

This is where Ruggie came in in place of Jonah. Ruggie clearly knows Leona better and had been for the longest. Leona trusts Ruggie, and Ruggie still loyal to him.

Also, this is probably because Leona doesn't get involved that much in Octavinelle Arc, unlike Riddle who has quite a big role in Savanaclaw Arc.

Ah, yes. The chess allegory. I didn't make it, I looked it up from here. I know nothing about chess.

I also added some of Leona's motives for wanting to bring down Malleus.

More of Leona's past were added. None of these is canon.

I just want to point out that Leona's relationship with his grandfather was inspired by Simba and Mufasa's relationship.

Also, can I just point out that Leona never actually apologized to Ruggie for Thanos-ing his arm? Well, he says sorry here.

Almost didn't happen. But because I said I want to match Riddle's therapy, this chapter was written.

“Chapter 73: I Can See You Comin'!” is a continuation of the therapy arc, I just need Leona to see that acceptance from Ruggie because he's just too stubborn and closed-off.

I still really like the part where Ruggie is bowing to Leona. I'm a sucker for that.

The second half of this Arc was a mess, because: (1) This is my first attempt writing a sports scene; (2) Canon didn't give me that much info about Magishift; (3) I thought it was a good idea to mix Quidditch with American Football

“Chapter 74: My Heart Beats In Hyper Drive!” and “Chapter 75: Take a Shot at Me Runnin' Side by Side!” are supposed to be one chapter, but I decided to cut it off in half and switch some scripts.

We never actually knew how Ramshackle Dorm was build or the history of how it became abandoned in canon (hopefully yet), so I made up some stories again

When writing the sports scene, I also watch Eyeshield 21, because this is the first thing that came up in my mind when I heard 'American Football'.

Grim with his frying pan was inspired by that one meme

“Chapter 75: Take a Shot at Me Runnin' Side by Side!” had more world-building info about the (very poorly built) magic system. I made some notes about it in my Behind the Fic: Canon and Beyond. Read it here and here.

The Octavinelle gang wasn't supposed to appear, but then I remember a plot point way back in Jonah Argentum's Declassified Boarding School Survival Guide that I need to address, so the trio made an appearance here.

Epel was supposed to be Ace's mentor. However, because I want to see more of him in Pomefiore Arc, I ended up changing him with Floyd

I made up about Deuce and his past with baby chicks. I need to make-up something about Deuce's loves for baby chicks

Crowley is the Avatar

ADeuce are ROnah (Riddle/Jonah) shippers while the Leech Twins are JonAzul (Jonah/Azul) shippers

The actual Magishift Rematch in  “Chapter 76: It’s a Blur as I Go By!” is way better than the first sports scene I've written earlier, though I still feel it's a bit short spot the Spongebob reference.

The celebration though was a bit of a letdown. I really want to write more, but I can't think about it more.

I just realized that Jack never appears in this portion of the Arc, so I made up the last Savanaclaw squad scene because I know Jack still respect Leona after this.

Ah... The final scene. This is a remake of what happened in canon.

Then I realized that I never write Leona ending scene back during The Crimson Tyrant. It was because Jonah never made a contact with Leona except for that one scene in. However, Azul was present during this while celebration, so I feel it didn't come out of nowhere if I add that scene.

Overall, Break & Gosh is a challenging Arc. Needed way more planning than Jonah Argentum's Declassified Boarding School Survival Guide and felt like an actual Arc rather than a collection of one-shots.

I wrote a really long rant about The Rebel of the Wilderness and Break & Gosh.
