Rating, Replacements, and Additions for LI Wardrobes: Aiden Zhou, OG HSS Book 1

Sort of a spinoff of my Cadybear's MC Wardrobes series, I've decided to do a similar thing for some LI wardrobes. The wardrobes for LIs tend to be very limited compared to that of MCs, so a large portion of this series will be dedicated to making new outfits for LIs in events where MC gets to have a new outfit, or any special events.

First up is the one and only Aiden Zhou!!! I'll be submitting this for @aidenzhouappreciationweek! For the Day 2 Prompt Fashion/Design!

Directory for the other parts will be included in the reblogs after I've completed the posts for all books!

Canon Outfit: Fall Casual

A simple but distinguished and iconic outfit. It suits him.

Verdict: Keep it as is.

Event: Brian's pool party

Even though MC does get a premium outfit for this event, the f!MC outfit is one I really don't like for Evie. And even with the replacement I made for her, I think she'd possibly wanna wear her casual outfit. So I guess I don't feel too much of a need to give the LIs their own outfits too.

And frankly, given Aiden's general lack of interest in the party, I think he'd wear his regular casual outfit as well.

Then again, I can also see Ezra (and Myra) convincing him to wear something nice. And MC still has a nice outfit option, even if I don't purchase it. So...

I can maybe see him wearing this. It's not exactly pool party material, but it is something I think would be his style for a big high school party at this point in his arc.

Bonus: Alteration of said outfit that he might try out in later parties.

Or, heck, knowing Myra and Ezra, they'd probably try to doll him up like this at Brian's party as a sort of a "confidence boost". Myra ties the shirt up, and Ezra gives him the belly chain. IDK if I'll make that my personal canon, but it is cute to think about.

Of course... because I like the f!MC premium outfit sooooooo much better on him than on the actual f!MC... I will treat you all to this edit again hehe

:DDDDDDDD

Canon Outfit: Swimsuit

Putting pajama pants basketball shorts lookin ass swimtrunks on such a lovely character like Aiden should be considered a violation of the Geneva Convention. Especially ones with such a clunky eyesore of a pattern. No lie, one of my friends even said it looked like the Straight Pride flag, and... when your outfit can be compared to THAT, I think that's a sign that ya fucked up!

Seriously, how did PB expect us to take either of the response options "Whoa, you look HOT!" and "That's a nice swimsuit!" seriously for this, or any of the male LIs???? Emma and Maria get swimsuits that could actually warrant either of those reactions. Put in that effort for the male LIs.

Verdict: BURN IT LIKE IN ONE OF THOSE 70S FEMINIST BRA BURNINGS

Here's the swimsuit I made for him instead. "Buhbuhbuht Caydeeh, Aiden is very shy and insecure and awkward so it's uhnreuhlistick for him to wear a speeeedohhh-" Emma is also shy and insecure and awkward, and she wore a little bikini. Don't tell me only now you're starting to care about character outfit realism.

And anyways, I made this one a more simple shape/design than the first design I made (as seen below) that had hip slits. I feel like that counts for something at least lol.

This here is his swimsuit for later events. Plus, the first swimsuit with the jewelry.

Canon Outfit: Marching Band Uniform

God he looks so precious in this outfit and I don't know why. The top is stylish, the pants are sleek, and the gloves are cute for some reason. IDK why but I think they're cute. This outfit is both cunt and cute at the same time. Because Aiden is both cunt and cute.

Oh and you knowwww Evie loves to check out how his derriere looks in this outfit. I mean she does that with all his outfits, but especially with this one.

Verdict: Keep it as is.

Event: Pep Rally

Regardless of whether or not I have Evie wear any of the Tiger mascot suits, Aiden doesn't really need to have a new outfit. Maybe later though, I might edit him into that Berry High t-shirt that we can throw at him if we wear the Tiger costume.

Event: The Hearst Heist

I'm not planning on having Evie disguise for this, so there's no point in doing it for anyone else. Then again, I still think it's stupid that MC is the only one they want to wear a disguise. Then again, IDK how to disguise him. Evie would get Max's jacket to be the fake Hearst jock, and Julian should get the cheer uniform to be the fake Hearst cheerleader. So there isn't exactly much for the rest of the gang to wear.

Then again, who doesn't wanna see Aiden as a fake Hearst cheerleader? I mean, just look how cute he is!

Max Warren's repressed bisexual ass would totally swoon over this (and let's be real, he totally was checking Aiden out when he dared him to take his shirt off in that one scene in Book 3).

Event: Homecoming Parade

Even though Aiden isn't a nominee for homecoming court (even though he really should be one), I still think Myra would want them both to wear school spirit tank tops. Editing the CG for this outfit will be tricky though.

Canon Outfit: Homecoming

If your response to Aiden when you first see him in his suit is "That suit is pretty okay", he takes OFFENSE to that crappy compliment. As he should, because he looks so damn good in this outfit (and also because he deserves all the praise and compliments). The touches of powder blue are especially nice. Worship this mofo or don't even bother.

Verdict: Keep it as is.

Ooh how I would have loved it to see a CG of this hahahaha I really lost it cause I was imagine that situation with them and their full mouths while they were trying hard to talk 🤣

That was so funny ❤ I really love and enjoy moments or dates like this where you just can goof around. Were you can laugh together with that one person you really like the most without hopping in the bed and makeout together the next moment. Dates like these are missing more and more in today's games and that's a really big down for me. I lost so much motivation to play many otome games because the only thing that matters for most of the female players or the developer is How much sex they have. How much the males show skin. How many kinks they have/show. How dirtier they get or talk. How many makeout sessions they have. Sex. Sex. Sex. It's really annoying. Like are you serious? How can someone enjoy such a shit non stop? Especially in a relationship? Like is this only what matters? It's a shame that the developer focus more and more only on something like this. Well no wonder when 98% of the player going crazy about that shit. Dates like this have no meaning for me . That's why I'm a sucker for day7 games. You don't have the feeling that in the dates there is 2% fluff and rest is bed jogging. I just love dates that make you laugh a lot and you just can enjoy the time together beside your loved ones. Like with Asher's date. Only to be by his side. Just to lean on each other. That alone is what makes my heart race. To talk about things. Or just to enjoy a camping date with Aiden with lots of fun and goofing around ❤ The worst thing is that many developer destroy my favourit characters with their shit fanservice. They were pure fluff at the beginning and were making my heart beat like crazy. The more popular the games were becoming and the bigger the fandom was getting the uglier my favourit characters were getting. I'm talking about their character. I was just like "Who are you? What have they done to you 😅" In all the dates the focus was only on sleeping together and to make out. When I think back to the old dates and am looking at the newer dates now... I'm just like are you fucking kidding me? ^^ It's just too bad and such a shame it makes me really angry cause I still love my favourits but I don't have the motivation to read something new from them nowadays. Cause I know exactly what for "dates" wait for me and I can gladly give a fuck about dates like this! Give me my fluffy pure hubbys back (๑ᵕ◡ᵕ) !! Anyway I just want normal fluffy dates like this where not everything revolves around makeout here makeout there!

1-60 for the ask meme

Ope sorry I did not see this until today. I think I know the one? If it’s not the one you meant just lmk lol

1. Selfie?

You can have this picrew but I wish to be unperceived.

2. What would you name your future kids?

For female names I like: Harmony, Slyvia, Edelweiss, Bethany, and Opal

For male names I like: Uriah, Aiden, Kai, Levi, and Luke

3. Do you miss anyone?

My grandpa and Midnight (old dog)

4. What are you looking forward to?

Going on vacation in a few weeks, the end of the semester, and seeing @calligraphywitch tomorrow

5. Is there anyone who can always make you smile?

@calligraphywitch and my other girlfriend. They’re hilarious lmao

6. Is it hard for you to get over someone?

Romantically? Not really. You kinda gotta just accept it and move on. In the past, always being like: this will never work because of reason xyz helps.

Friendship wise? Absolutely. It depends a lot on the emotional investment I put into the relationship, but I find myself still missing people I haven’t talked to since High School or Middle School.

7. What was your life like last year?

It was weird being a freshman in college and trying to survive. I had a lot of family problems going on along with one of my best friends from High School being on her death bed for a while. A bit of a crisis of faith as well. But we survived, God willing! I miss pre-pandemic times tho

8. Have you ever cried because you were so annoyed?

Ask my brother. I’m sure there’s been an instance.

9. Who did you last see in person?

My grandma across the room from me!

10. Are you good at hiding your feelings?

I hide them so well I can’t even find them!

I like to pretend they aren’t there and repress them a lot but idk if I’m good at hiding them from others per say.

15. Personality description

I like to think I’m funny

16. Have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?

I work in customer service- everyday (:

17. Opinion on insecurities.

Everyone is insecure about something. It’s kinda fascinating how even though all of humanity is exactly the same (in terms of our struggles and insecurities, we don’t vary) we still judge others for having them. Confidence is seen as a virtue and the most attainable goal. Society profits off of your insecurities tho so be aware of what they are and don’t let yourself be scammed.

18. Do you miss how things were a year ago?

Certain aspects perhaps. But 2019 is gone. It performed and then it left. It can’t hurt us or help us anymore. There’s little use in dwelling on that and wishing for 2020 to be 2019.

19. Have you ever been to New York?

No, but I swear Ima go one day and see a show on Broadway.

20. What is your favorite song at the moment?

Together by For King and Country

28. I’ll love you if…

You exist (and even not then because fictional characters just hit different lol)

29. Favorite film(s)

Tangled, Ella Enchanted, Enchanted, Howls Moving Castle, Princess, and the Pauper

Brooklynn 99, Parks and Recreation, Ouran High School Host Club, My Hero Academia, and Bojack Horseman (I’m going through a phase with it rn lol)

31. 3 random facts

Blue is my favorite color, I own almost nothing in blue, people are better at identifying members of their own race better than members of other races.

Girls- they’re easier to talk to and approach. Tho I stan and love my guy friends. They are kings.

Blood and Chocolate: An Adaptation in Name Only

Previously: Section 0 – Introduction, Section 1 – The Book

Section 2 – Adaptation Challenges

Preface: I’m writing this section in the aftermath of the Artemis Fowl movie.

(Yikes? Definitely yikes.)

Most of the professional reviews mention the lack of originality, the ineptitude, and the stink of franchise aspirations. However, if you take a look at the audience reviews, you’ll notice a trend: lots of fans of the book are absolutely livid about the adaptation changes.

To the fans of the books, I am so sorry, and I feel your pain because I’ve been there.

An adaptation with only superficial connections to the source material?

An adaptation that almost seems like a deliberate insult to the book?

An adaptation that legendarily misses the point of the original?

I know that rage because I’ve been through it. Blood and Chocolate fans know the pain that Artemis Fowl fans are currently experiencing.

But, why? Why have so many beloved books been butchered in the name of film adaptation? Let’s take a look at the process that took the 1997 Blood and Chocolate novel and turned it into the 2007 Blood and Chocolate movie.

Adaptation History: After its 1997 publication, Blood and Chocolate enjoyed some popularity and acclaim. Unlike later YA behemoths like Twilight, The Hunger Games and Divergent, Blood and Chocolate doesn’t seem to have made an appearance on the New York Times Bestseller’s List, so it’s difficult to quantify exactly how much popularity it enjoyed. Later that same year, MGM optioned the film rights, indicating that, at some point in the future, we could expect an adaptation. No news was heard on that front until 2004, when a screenplay appeared. The US Copyright Office records the document as, “Blood and chocolate; motion picture project & screenplay / Screenplay written by Christopher Landon, with revisions by Jon Harmon Feldman, Leslie Libman and Larry Williams, Christopher Landon and Jeff King, with current revisions by Ehren Kruger.” That’s one original script and six writers working on revisions – none of whom are the original author, Annette Curtis Klause. According to a 2006-ish interview with Cynthia Leitich Smith. Klause was completely out of the loop when it came to the production, stating, “…I’m afraid that if you aren’t Anne Rice, J.K. Rowling, or Stephen King you don’t get much say in what the film companies do. The producers don’t even keep me up to date–I find my information on the Web.”

Book Challenges: Before we go any further, we need to acknowledge that any adaptation of Blood and Chocolate faced some necessary changes. The story, as written, was never going to pass from book to movie unscathed. Some of the major problems were:

o The Esme Question: Esme’s relationship with Gabriel would be one of the first things on the chopping block. It was a minor detail in the book, it didn’t really impact the overall plot, and it honestly shouldn’t have been included at all.

o The Age Differences: No studio targeting a mainstream US audience is going to tell a love story between a 16-year-old girl and a 24-year-old man. Filmmakers would need to adjust the age dynamics in the story, and they would probably choose to age the younger characters up. This would enable them to skirt the complicated legalities of hiring underage actors and avoid Dawson Casting significantly older actors to play teenagers.

o The Large Cast: The novel has a large number of named characters contributing to the plot in various ways. An adaptation that keeps all of these characters would need to spend time establishing who they are and making them distinct from the other characters. For reference, a list of the named characters includes: Vivian, Gabriel, Aiden, Astrid, Rafe, Esme, Rudy, Ivan, Lucien, Tomas, Bucky, Jean, Persia, Orlando, Finn, Gregory, Willem, Ulf, Quince, Kelly, Bingo, Jem, and Skull. Including these characters and setting them up in a way that is memorable for an audience would take a LOT of screentime. Cuts were necessary. Roles would have to be condensed and some characters would need to be excised entirely.

o The Rating: A strictly faithful adaptation of the novel would contain: Male and female nudity, explicit language, violence, gore, substance abuse, and sexual situations. This would likely have earned the film an “R” rating. For those unfamiliar with the MPAA ratings, an “R”, or “Restricted” rating restricts the audience of the film so that those under 17 are required to have an accompanying parent or adult guardian to be allowed to see the film in theaters. For a film based on a YA novel, an R rating would basically be the kiss of death – it would kill the film’s money making potential. Filmmakers would realistically have to edit the content of the source material to ensure a much more accessible – and profitable – PG-13 rating.

Film Challenges: In addition to the challenges inherited from the source material, translating the story from book to film creates a number of extra difficulties.

o The Budget: Blood and Chocolate didn’t spawn the enthusiastic fanbase that Harry Potter or Twilight did, meaning that there was less of a “guaranteed” audience for the film. The decade-long gap between publication and adaptation probably didn’t help matters, either. As a result, an adaptation would entail a certain amount of risk. Would the film have enough appeal to get non-fans into the theater? What if they spent millions and millions of dollars on a film that only book fans wanted to see? With no assurances of success, the adaptation’s budget would have to be restricted to what the producers considered an acceptable loss – what were they willing to lose if the film flopped?

o The Special Effects: In the novel, Klause goes into vivid detail while describing the bone-crunching, sinew-snapping transformations that take characters from human to wolf. An adaptation, as a werewolf movie, would be expected to follow genre conventions and include these transformations on screen. However, this rubs up against the first point as including such transformations often comes at great costs. They had two options: practical effects or computer-generated imagery (CGI). Rendering the transformations with practical effects would follow in the footsteps of genre classics like An American Werewolf in London and The Howling, but it could necessitate months of behind the scenes preparation and hours of painstaking makeup application.

(This? This won the first Oscar for Best Makeup ever .)

CGI would be cheaper, but less satisfying for traditional horror fans (an audience the filmmakers would probably want to appeal to).

(This was... less acclaimed.)

Studio Considerations: Let’s take a minute and talk about Lakeshore Entertainment.

o Underworld, released in September 2003 by production company Lakeshore Entertainment, was a thriller featuring supernatural creatures, a forbidden romance, secret societies, and a muted color palette. The story was ostensibly an original creation (although the role-playing game company White Wolf alleged otherwise). It grossed $95.7 million worldwide against a $22 million budget and spawned a franchise that is currently in its 6th installment.

o Underworld: Evolution, released in January 2006 by production company Lakeshore Entertainment, followed its predecessor and was a thriller featuring supernatural creatures, a forbidden romance, secret societies, and a muted color palette. It grossed $111 million worldwide against a $50 million budget.

o The Covenant, released in September 2006 by production company Lakeshore Entertainment, was a thriller featuring supernatural creatures, a forbidden romance, a secret society, and a muted color palette. The story was an original creation. It grossed $37.6 million worldwide against a $20 million budget.

o Blood and Chocolate, released in January 2007 by production company Lakeshore Entertainment, was a thriller featuring supernatural creatures, a forbidden romance, a secret society, and a muted color palette. The story was adapted from a popular YA novel. It grossed $6.3 million worldwide against a $15 million budget – an $8.7 million loss. Now, let’s be clear: Blood and Chocolate started filming before the numbers for its sister productions were in. I don’t think that the diminishing returns seen by Underworld: Evolution and The Covenant affected the budget for Blood and Chocolate – its smaller budget is likely attributable to the more restrained story. After all, Blood and Chocolate doesn’t feature a Mustang de-and re-materializing.

It is a comparatively low key movie.

So why did it fail? We’re going to get elbow-deep into that autopsy, but before we do, we need to take a look at the movie itself.

Next: Section 3 – The Adaptation

Call My Name

New Challenge.

"Mrs. Scott informed me to highly recommend you for this job." He mentioned, glancing up from the file that sat on his desk. "That's impressive." He added, smiling at the beautiful woman who sat in the chair in front of his desk.

Brooklyn returned the smile, rubbing her slightly sweaty hands on her navy blue jumpsuit. "Yeah, it was a great learning experience to work beside her." She told him truthfully. The older woman has been a first-grade teacher for over thirteen years and one of the best in the city. So when she got a chance to pick where she'd do her internship, Southside Hill Private School was easily her first choice because of the opportunity to work with Mrs. Scott.

Mr. Torres nodded his head, understanding what she meant completely. "But I'm curious as to why you chose to work for public school and not private. Southside actually pays more and have better benefits. Especially with a resume like yours, you would've been hired easily."

"Honestly, I just feel like children who go to public school deserve great teachers as well. Besides, it's where I've gotten my education. Plus, I do this because I have a love for being a teacher, not the money." Brooklyn loved working with children, which is why she chose to be a first-grade teacher.

"I see. Well if that's the case....you're hired." Beamed Mr. Torres, standing up from his chair to congratulate her.

Brooklyn stared at the man in surprise. "Really? Just like that?" She gaped, not expecting to be hired on the spot like this.

"Just like that. We really needed a teacher as soon as possible, like starting tomorrow as possible." He explained, scratching the back of his neck. "Today is the last day that Ms. Stone will be teaching the class that you will be taking over."

Brooklyn eyed him curiously. "Why is she leaving so suddenly?"

"Well, you see....class 43B can be a bit, how can I say this? Challenging?" He guessed, struggling to find the nicest word to describe the students.

Brooklyn made a face, looking away, finding his words suspicious. "How so?" She questioned, pressing for more answers.

"Huey, Dewey, and Louie." He stated simply, hoping she'd get what characters he was referring too.

"You mean like Donald Duck's nephews?" She giggled, once she figured out his reference.

"So a mischievous group is why she's leaving?""Sadly and the one before has done the same." He revealed. "We've been through two teachers in the last five months and hopefully you're the one for the job." He was hoping, praying that Brooklyn could handle the three little boys who had a habit for tormenting the students and teachers.

"That bad huh?" She smiled to herself as Mr. Torres nodded his head. "If that's the case, I can't wait to meet them." There wasn't much that Brooklyn couldn't handle and if this trio was as bad as he claimed to be, then she was up for a challenge.

Mr. Torres sighed, placing his hands into his pocket. "It's recess, so I'll introduce you to the other two first grade teachers. Follow me." He instructed her, making his way towards his office door.

Grabbing her purse, Brooklyn stepped out first as Mr. Torres opened the door and waited for him to lead the way. "If you ever need anything and I'm not available, just call up to the office and Ms. Allen or Ms. Bell will help you." He informed her, pointing at the women who sat behind the counter smiling at the two of them.

Brooklyn politely waved and continued to follow Mr. Torres out of the front office and down the hall. Her eyes wandered all over the colorful painting that graced the walls that were obviously done by children. Numerous tri-fold boards sat on top of the tables that sat in front of the library about books that the older kids have done reports on. It got her all giddy inside seeing their beautiful minds explore and come to life from all the color and unique ways each board was designed.

"Each hall has different grade levels. Hall A is kindergarten, Hall B is first grade, where your classroom will be located, C is second grade and so forth and so on." He explained, pointing at each hall. "Some even have their own unique names. Like Mr. Graham calls his class the Go-Getters. His students tend to have the best grades."

Brooklyn chuckled at that, taking everything in as they approached the playground. Her eyes immediately landed on a group of what she assumed to be teachers talking among themselves while they kept a close eye on the children.

"Ms. Cole, Mr. Matthews this is Ms. Monroe, she'll be taking over for Whitney." He introduced everyone, Brooklyn taking notice in the shared look the teachers gave at the mention of Whitney.

The straight raven-haired Asian woman was the first to step up, holding out her hand towards Brooklyn. "You can just call me Jade and this is Ryan." She smiled warmly as both women shook hands. The male beside her eyeing Brooklyn like she was a piece of steak.

"Don't mind him, he's a bit of a flirt," Jade said, slapping Ryan on the back of the head to snap him out of his daze.

"Brooklyn."

"Where is Whitney by the way?" Mr. Torres asked, looking around for the fiery redhead.

"Here." A soft voice said from behind them. Brooklyn turned away to see a tall, pretty woman with a clearly growing belly. "I was just using the ladies room." She grinned at everyone, her eyes landing on a new face.

"Ms. Stone, meet Ms. Monroe, she'll be taking over for you."Whitney gave Brooklyn a sympathetic smile, patting her shoulder softly. "Did he tell you about the infamous trio?"

"Yeah. Are they really that bad?" Frowning at everyone as they all nodded their heads, Brooklyn sighed and look towards the playground.

"I wouldn't have resigned if I wasn't six months but dealing with them is too stressful and that's the last thing that I need." She explained, rubbing her growing belly. "Be careful and well aware of everything Ms. Monroe. Those boys are always up to no good."

"We know it may be hard to believe but it's true. What they did to Michelle, the first teacher, was just cruel. They knew she had a fear of spiders. So they decided to get Eric, a 4th-grade teachers class pet and plant it in her desk. The lady was so scared she pissed on herself and ran out of the classroom". Revealed Ryan, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Who exactly is in this little trio?" Brooklyn asked, now more determined than ever. Even if it was just children that they were talking about, she hated bullying. It wasn't cute, especially with little kids.

"The one in the blue checkered shirt is Aiden." Following Whitney's pointing finger, Brooklyn spotted a golden-haired boy who was busy running after another boy on the playground. "The one he's chasing is Isaiah." She added as Brooklyn took in the cute brown-skinned boy with two missing teeth.

"And lastly is their "leader", Jaxson." Ryan chuckled, putting up air quotes on the word leader before pointing at a boy who stood at the top of a spiral slide looking over the rest of the playground. She eyed him, finding it funny how he looked as if he was watching over his kingdom.

"He doesn't look like he'd harm a fly," Brooklyn said out loud. He looked so...innocent.Jade snorted.

"Yeah, don't let his cuteness get to you. He is the main one you really need to watch out for. It's like he can sense your deepest fears and uses it against you."

As if he knew that he was being talked about, Jaxson's eyes suddenly snapped towards the group of adults almost scaring them, causing him to smile at their reactions. But Brooklyn wasn't fazed one bit and he noticed.

The two had a stare down for a good minute with neither one refusing to back down.

He almost managed to throw her off when he began to grin at her darkly but Brooklyn was no weak bitch. If this little boy thought he was going to scare her away then he had another thing coming.

And Jaxson was going to push every single button that he could.

It was game on.

_______

It was late when Brooklyn found herself with a cart full of school supplies and junk food at her local Walmart.

She had a habit of doing most of her shopping late at night because it was simply easier that way. Plus fewer people.

Sporting in the casual attire of a simple red tank top and grey sweats, she walked down the junk food aisle, looking for something to ease her sweet tooth.

When she spotted a family sized bag of Hershey's cookies and creme kisses on the top shelf, her heart did a leap. "Why the fuck would they place it on the top shelf?" she mumbled to herself as she stood on her tippy toes to reach for the bag.

After two tries and failing, she had almost given up until a long arm reached out and grabbed the bag, handing it to her. She smiled, turning to thank whoever when her smile faltered at who it was.

"C-christian?" Her eyes looked him over, finding it bit weird at his perfect timing.

"Peaches." His responded, knowing how much she hated the nickname he had given her.

She was quick to decide that there was no point in telling him the obvious because she knew he was going to call her that no matter what.

"What are you doing here?" She asked stupidly before catching herself.

Christian smirked, looking around them. "Am I not allowed to enter Walmart?"Brooklyn rolled her eyes, placing her candy into her cart. "You know what I meant."

"Have you forgotten that I like shopping late too?" He reminded her. It was something that the two of them did quite a bit back when they were together.

She placed her hands on her wide hips, thinking that it was still way too suspicious how they ended up in the same aisle at the same time. "Are you stalking me or something? Because if so, y-"

"Don't flatter yourself, love." He rudely interjected. "This was purely coincidental, that I promise you."

Brooklyn bit back the words she wanted to say and chose to turn around and leave him there instead. She was clearly bothered by his choice of words for some reason. He really didn't have to cut her off like that.

'Don't flatter yourself', she mocked in her head. 'Stupid accent head ass'

"Are you really running away from me because of what I said?" He chuckled lowly at her retreating form.

"Considering I don't want to be anywhere near you, yes I am." She said over her shoulder, stopping in her tracks. "You have a nice night Christian."

And with that, she decided if she needed anything else, she'd get it tomorrow. She was partially surprised that he didn't try to stop her. Christian hated when she walked away from him. He always made it clear that if she ever had a problem to address him directly like the grown woman she was.

He wasn't too fond of keeping feelings bottled up.

Once she had paid for her things, she looked around the store, trying to spot him but failed to as she made her exit.

She questioned herself for even wanting to see him again.

But that's how it usually was. She always wanted to see him. Even after their "breakup" she still hoped to see him out in public at least. Although she would never admit that to him.

Popping her trunk open, she placed her numerous bagged items inside, not hearing or seeing Christian walk up behind her. Just as she closed her trunk, she almost jumped out of her skin seeing him standing there.

"What the fuck Christian?! I almost swung on your ass!" She barked, holding a hand over her rapidly beating heart.

"Your reflexes are weak, so I highly doubt that." He stated, running a hand through his hair, messing it up a bit on purpose.

"Shut up." He didn't have to expose her like that she thought to herself as she pushed the shopping cart into the corral.

"Come with me." He requested softly, holding out his hand for her to take.

Brooklyn eyed his hand, then his face. "No. Now bye." She declined quickly, moving towards the driver side door.

"Stop running from me." This was the third time that she had did this since he had seen her again.

She ran away when he barely touched her at the club, then inside of Walmart and now as they stood in the parking lot. It was honestly getting on his nerves because she had no reason to be scared of him.

She knew he was the last person to ever hurt her.

"What do you even want from me Christian? I told you that I don't want anything to do with you."

"And I told you that you that I would always want you!" He snapped back. "This front you putting on is childish because I know you baby."

Brooklyn, refusing to listen to him, hit the unlock button on her keychain. "I-i can't do this right now." She stuttered, barely reaching out to open the door before Christian softly grabbed her arm, stopping her.

She faced him, seeing that look on his face that always made her pussy weep with excitement. He tugged on her hand as he started to walk backward, silently telling her to come with him. Hesitating at first, she finally gave in and allowed him to take her where he wanted.

They walked two rows away from where she parked and stood beside an all black Escalade that was heavily tinted.

"Get in the backseat." He ordered her, opening the back door.

"Excuse me?" She looked at him stupidly. "Nah, I'm not about to d-"

"Get in." His demanded more heatedly, turning Brooklyn on at the tone of his voice.

"Fine." She mumbled climbing into the seat in the very back. Christian followed behind her, closing the door behind him.

Brooklyn watched him get on his knees in between the space of the two seats in the middle in front of her. She knew very well what was about to happen. They were no strangers when it came to fucking in a car. He has taken her plenty of time in the front and backseat wherever, whenever.

Christian leaned forward with hands placed on either side of her and kissed her cheek softly. "Do me a favor Peaches...." He trailed off, sliding her Nike slides off her feet. She bit into her bottom lip as his hands reached for her sweatpants, tugging them down along with her panties, tossing them in the seat next to her.

"What?" She whispered, letting him pull her down the seat a little more and part her thighs, placing her legs over his shoulders. A hiss escaped passed her lips when he gave her a teasing, long lick over her very wet folds. Her legs trembled as he flicked the tip of his tongue against her sensitive clit causing Brooklyn to moan out loud, gripping the headrest behind her.

"Call my name."

Gay Writer over here (*waves*)

So I’ve been writing from basically the moment I was able to pick up a pencil and write straight on a piece of lined paper. In my Primary School (I live in the UK/ It’s the one before what everyone else called “High School”) we were given what were called “diaries”, little jotters that we could write down our day-to-day activities into and get marks from our teacher. I used to always get into trouble because instead of writing what we had been up to on that particular day, or when we came back on Mondays and were supposed to be writing about our weekends, I was writing all the fanciful ideas that came into my 5-6 year old noggin. Back in the day I was a huge fan of Halo (the game franchise) and I often found myself writing about things I had either done in the games, or coming up with my own little scenarios and scenes. Naturally they wouldn’t have been very good but I had fun doing them...and after a while, one of the teachers (I honestly can’t remember which one, though I’ve tried) got me my own separate jotter to write in. Ultimately it proved to me a major distraction for me, and eventually there had to be a set time and place during my school hours where I could write in it and others when I couldn’t. That used to vex little me so much...there were even days when I’d sneak it home, only to come in the next day and receive the stink-eye from my teacher. As I grew older and finished Primary School, moving onto Secondary School (or High School) my mind had developed to the point where I knew almost exactly what I wanted to write, though my execution and grasp of the English language wasn’t as...acute...as they appear to be now. I used to write things in Script/Screenplay format. Something that looks sort of like this (Using a modern day example.) --- Link: (-signing-) I’ve always hated those Bokoblins. They make good bacon though. Sidon: -gasp- You eat Bokoblins!? Link looks at him, his eyes widening a fraction. Link: (-signing-) Yeah...-shrug-...what about it? --- I used this style of writing for years, and I mean years. It was a really easy and simple way for me to convey the scene/situation quickly and get it out of my head before it either faded/changed too much or I forgot it completely. However as I started to really take this hobby seriously and it became something fundamentally important to not only for passing time, but for what I later came to know as my own expressive/coping mechanism, I realized that quickly that I wanted to develop it...and get better. About 2 years ago (yes it took that long for me to get there) I dropped the Script/Screenplay Format as a default and started using the more appropriate and ultimately better looking and sounding Prose format. --- (I’ve always hated those Bokoblins...) Link signs, his face contorted in disgust for a moment at the brief thought of the buggers. He then seems to smirk, even smile, and shrugs. (...they make good bacon though.) “You eat Bokoblins!?” Prince Sidon’s head snaps towards him, his eyes thrown wide and his mouth parted slightly in a gasp. (Yeah...) Link signs back. (What about it?) --- As you can see it’s allot better than the previous version. Prose allows for extensive description and much more dialogue between the characters, as well as detailed descriptions of their actions, moods, feelings and thoughts. Something that was probably possible with the previous format, but I never could unlock it. Oh Yeah! The name of this post is “Gay Writer over here” !!!! Whoops! (May have gone on a tangent there...sorry about that :3) So as I reached my adolescence, or puberty if we’re using small words, I was not only become aware of how big and bad the world could and would be, but I was becoming aware of who I was and my place in it...namely my labels in the modern society we still call “21st Century Britain”. Around about my third year in High School, I came to the realization that I may be what people called “Gay”, something that I’m more than happy to share with anybody who asks, or in this case, spread it around the internet because who honestly cares, but something at the time I was more than ashamed and confused about. We’ve all had those terms and expressions in High School that were often associated with something that wasn’t cool, or part of the normal conventions of High School social life...and one of the words for that was “Gay” or “Homo”. Knowing that I actually was both of those really did have an effect on me in some way. I suppressed my sexuality and kept to myself, when people would ask about girlfriends and the like, I’d laugh it off and say “When I’m ready.” or “I don’t have any interest in that right now”. Just occasionally someone would call me out for being “Gay.” or a “Shirt-Lifter.” which in Scotland means someone of the Homosexual persuasion. (Yeah...I don’t know either...I’ve never been in the habit of lifting my shirt to anyone...) It took a long time for me to get over the feelings of insecurity and shame that came with it. I felt like I was an outcast, I wasn’t right and I didn’t belong to the same groups of people as everyone else did. Oh! I should probably preface this by saying that I’m not only Gay, but I’m autistic. I have what Doctors called up until recently “Asperger's Syndrome.” something that I’ve known about for years. One of the ways that I got through my mental torment/struggle over this (and it really was for me, being autistic I fixated on it...it was my every waking moment, and it was in my dreams) was to write about it in my stories. I started to write stories with gay male characters, and writing scenes were they were marginalized and cast out by others just for being who they were. This did help...it gave me a place to put out all my thoughts and feelings on the topic without the need to talk to people about it, or cause a big fuss. Internalized Homophobia became a favorite thing of mine...mainly because for a time I lived it. However as my High School years wound on, and we reached out Senior Years, with age came maturity, and with maturity came acceptance. Those people who used to poke fun at me for being “Gay” and the like were now openly welcoming it, some of them even coming out to us themselves. It’s at that point that things really started to change for me. My perceptions of myself and my sexuality shifted and I learned that it wasn’t a problem. I couldn’t help how I was born...and I certainly shouldn’t be ashamed of myself because I haven to love men instead of women. Around this time I started writing pretty much how I writer now. I’d take characters from the games that I loved and would make them have relationships with others... Watch Dogs -- Aiden Pearce/Defalt Mass Effect -- Male Shepard/Steve Cortez Halo -- The Arbiter/Fal ‘Zolak (an OC of mine) I didn’t truly admit to my sexuality until shortly after I left High School and entered my College years. However I think by the end of it people knew who I was, based on what they’d observed of me over the years...or the stories they’d read. I remember one of my friends at one point asking me “Are you gay?” and instead of blanking it or laughing it off I just said “Maybe, I don’t know.” ... a partial admission of sorts. Writing has always been a huge part of my life, it’s helped me through some of the hardest times, and entertained me during the best. It’s allowed me to express myself to the world without fear of reprisal or condemnation. It’s saved me from the realms of depression and self-destructive thoughts. It’s quite simply the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I don’t think I will ever truly stop. I don’t write to make money, or to be famous or to make a name for myself...I write because I love it, and honestly nothing will ever change that... On the note of my sexuality... June for me, is not only about being proud of who you are, but about accepting everyone, no matter their gender, their sexuality, their race, their background and origins. It’s about showing love for your fellow human beings and being proud to be a part of the world during the 21st Century. Sure there are some bad eggs, there always will be...for various reasons. But they are the minority...and hopefully one day, they’ll all join the majority, and we can all live together without the labels and prejudices of yester-years to stand in our way. ... Rambling over...-wipes sweat from forehead-...thanks for reading through that. I know it was sort of out of the blue and all over the shop. But this is what’s been on my mind today, and I thought about writing it down. Be Safe, Be Well... I love you all (^.^)/

Word count: 2780

“Uh...” – Damien looked back at her, a little surprised by her sudden bluntness. – “I beg your pardon?”

But he would be lying if he said that he didn't like listening to her cursing. Oh, he liked it, and more than he should. Seeing the swear word coming out of that pretty mouth of hers was hot.

God dammit, Damien. Get ahold of yourself, man.

"I mean, I've always known that they were both a little crazy. But not crazy enough to marry…" - she quickly glanced around, making sure no one could hear her. - "...robots."

"Oh." - he simply said. - "Don't ask me. I don't understand it either." - Eleanor let out a low sigh, looking above her shoulder to the newlyweds outside, laughing about something.

"I just hope they know what they're getting into." - she muttered, a worrying expression on her face.

"Don't worry. Hayden and Steve are great people. And they truly care and love your cousins." - she nodded, but he could see that she was not fully convinced yet.

“I believe in you. It all just sound too surreal to me. I don’t know, what if they turn into evil robots?” - Damien snorted. - “Hey, this is serious!” - the woman had an angry expression on her face and their eyes locked for a moment, before they both burst off laughing. - “Okay, this sounded a little silly, I confess.”

"Yeah, it sounded.” - he agreed, still chuckling. “But I assure you that you have nothing to worry about. They're their Perfect Matches, after all." - he said the last sentence with bitterness in his voice.

Ellie stopped laughing instantly as her eyes suddenly shined mischievously:

"Someone sounds a little hurt..."

...What?

"I'm not." - he stated, frowning.

"Well, your behavior says exactly the opposite." - she said with a sly grin spreading through her red lips.

"What do you mean?" - he crossed his arms and stepped back.

"This. First, drinking as if there was no tomorrow and now acting so defensive."

Damien was wordless. That was one of those rare times that he didn't know what to say. Who was this woman who had just met him but could read him like an open book? Why he felt like he was under some kind of spell?

But before he could say or do anything, they heard Nadia calling for her:

"Ellie?! Where are you?! There's someone that I want you to meet!"

Eleanor shouted back to her cousin saying that she was coming, before turning back at him.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Nazario."

And then, Eleanor Zhou turned around and Damien watched - still paralyzed by her - the woman in red walking outdoors to where her cousin was waiting for her.

...Jeez, he needed another drink.

Damien spent the day after the double wedding on his bed, completely hangover. After Allen's and Nadia's cousin had left him alone, he decided to leave the party. He knew that he was supposed to stay until the end - as their Best Man -, but it was being simply torture watch Allen all happy in Hayden's arms.

But of course he couldn't leave before saying goodbye to him. So he wished Allen and Hayden a safe honeymoon and told his best friend that he was happy for him one more time (and he truly was), before excusing himself. He left before Nadia had the opportunity to complain his early departure - thankfully, she was too busy introducing her cousin to one of her artists friends. Eleanor didn't see him left the party too, thank God - and Damien went to his favorite pub, Archer and Hopps. And he spent the rest of the night there drinking. He wasn't sure how he got home, but he suspected that his good old friend Flynn helped him to come home.

As soon as he felt a little better and less dizzy, on Sunday night, he took a quick shower and ordered Thai food for dinner. Damien opened his drink cabinet and pulled out a Bacardi before settling down on his couch and turning the TV on to watch the news while he ate (and drank some more).

He passed out on the sofa, wasted again.

Although she was on vacation from her work, Eleanor woke up bright and early on Monday. She was in New York and she would enjoy every single minute while she was there. She had already gone to Central Park the day before, reviving some of her childhood memories - Nadia's mom would always take the three of them to spend a whole day there when she came to the Big Apple on holidays with her parents - and today she would go shopping!

...After she took Dipper on her morning stroll.

That was another reason why she took that one week vacation. Allen asked her to take care of his dog while he was away. Usually, he asked Nadia to take care of the dog, but she had her own honeymoon too, so he had to ask this favor to his other cousin. And Ellie gladly accepted it, since she herself had a 4 year old yellow Labrador Retriever, Freddie. She considered bringing him to NY, but he and Dipper could not get along and that would be a problem. Freddie didn't like to share, especially Ellie’s love and attention. So she left him home in Northbridge, under the care of her best friend, Lucy.

Eleanor had just came back to Allen's apartment in Brooklyn after taking Dipper for a walk, when she received an email. It was her boss asking her the layouts of the pages with the photoshoot pictures that Poppy sent the week before.

"Shit!" - she cursed, before running to her cousin's bedroom to grab her laptop. She kept swearing, calling her boss names (she was on vacation after all!) as she tried to connect to Allen's Wi-Fi…

...But she didn't know his password. She searched for it throughout the whole apartment, any sign of what could be his password, but she found nothing. She tried a lot of combinations, but none of them worked.

Ellie cursed again and texted Allen (and Nadia) asking for it, but she knew that he wouldn't answer her. He was on his god dammit honeymoon! He was busy. He wouldn't be looking through his phone.

"Fuck!" - she yelled, after almost an hour trying to log on.

Then, she remembered something. She grabbed her phone again and scrolled through the contacts, stopping by a new name, listening to Allen's words inside her head:

"If you need any help, Damien is the man! He'll help you with anything! All you need to do is call him."

And, without thinking twice, she pressed "call".

Damien woke up with a terrible headache. He slowly sat up, rubbing his hand on his sore neck. He slept on the couch, again. And he was wearing the clothes from the day before and the TV was still on. He turned it off, realizing that the reason why his head seemed that it was going to explode was because someone was trying to knock his door down.

"Ugh… what time is it?" - he thought to himself, wobbling towards the door of his apartment. - "Is it Nadia? Why didn't she simply came in? She has my key anyway..."

But the woman outside wasn't Nadia.

"Finally!" - she yelled when he opened the door. It was Allen's and Nadia's cousin. The Third Park. And then he remembered that his friends were away on their honeymoons. Fuck. - "Oh my God, are you hangover?!"

"Uh… what? What are you doing here? How do you know where I live?" - he asked Eleanor, who looked disapprovingly at him, her arms crossed.

"Unbelievable." - yep. She definitely was a Park. Her reaction was the same as Nadia’s. - "Don't you have a little of self-love, Nazario?"

"You didn't answer my questions. What--"

"Allen told me to call you if I needed any help so, just in case, he gave me your number and address. And I need help right now, so here I am." - she shrugged. He didn't move a muscle. - "Are you going to stand there and look at me the whole day or what?"

He gave her space to enter his apartment. She quickly glanced around. It looked… not a completely mess.

"But what are you doing here? In New York, I mean?" - he asked, still acting a little defensive.

"Allen asked me to take care of his dog while he's away, so I'm living on his apartment this week." - he opened his mouth to say something, but she interrupted him: - "Listen, if I knew that you were too busy sleeping, I wouldn't have come here. But I really need your help. Of course I tried to contact him, but he won't pick up, obviously. And I need your help, Damien."

They looked at each other's eyes for a few seconds, before he let out a sigh, crossing his arms.

"Alright. What can I do to help you?"

"I need Allen's Wi-Fi password."

Damien blinked a few times.

"...Do I look like someone who knows this?"

"No. But you've been to his house before, so I bet you have his Wi-Fi saved on your phone. All you need to do is come with me so, as soon as we get there, your phone will automatically connect and you'll tell me what his password is."

"...This actually makes sense." - he confessed after a few seconds staring back at her. Eleanor rolled her eyes.

"Of course. I have a brain too, Nazario. And mine is not drowned on alcohol." - she answered him, before opening the apartment door. - "Now, shall we?" - she said, with a grin.

As Eleanor said, as soon as they stepped on the hall of Allen's apartment, Damien's phone connected to his Wi-Fi. Dipper happily greeted them when they entered, the woman quickly typing the password on her laptop.

"YES!" - she yelled when it connected and soon opened her email.

The man looked around the apartment, feeling a little uncomfortable. It was strange being there with no sign of Allen.

"Uh… so I guess I better go now..."

"And drink until you pass out again? No! Stay here!" - Ellie said, her eyes glued on her computer. - "Make yourself comfortable, I know that's what Allen would have said."

Shit. She knew exactly what to say to convince him.

Hesitantly, he sat down on Allen's couch, with Dipper following him, her tail wiggling.

"Hey girl, calm down." - he awkwardly patted her on the head as she licked his hand. Damien never cared much about pets, but Dipper was a good dog.

He watched Ellie working on her computer sitting by the dinner table, speaking to herself, cursing her boss.

And then, Damien slowly fell asleep.

“Finally! Now I’ll see it only next Monday, when I go back to work!” - Eleanor spoke to herself as she turned the computer off. It took more time than she expected, but at least she was finally free.

And then, she remembered that Damien was there. He had been so quiet that she almost forgot about him.

She looked over her shoulder and saw the man sleeping on the couch, his neck on a strange angle, with Dipper sleeping on his feet. Ellie admired the view for a few seconds.

Yes, Damien Nazario definitely was handsome, even hangover and sleeping.

She carefully sat on the couch next to him. Dipper immediately woke up, her tail wiggling at the woman, who stroked her fur.

“Uh… hey, Damien…” - she said softly, trying to not startle him. - “Damien…?” - she gently squeezed his arm, finally waking him up. He blinked a few times, getting on his surroundings and then his sleepy dark brown eyes fell on her. She smiled. - “Hey. You fell asleep.”

“I… uh…” - he still was tongue tied. It was not every day that he was awakened so gently by a beautiful woman next to him. Eleanor stood up, walking around the living room.

“Why don’t we go grab something to eat? It’s 2 p.m. already and we still haven’t eaten.” - she grabbed her purse. - “Let me pay for your lunch. You know, for helping me. And I feel that we started off on the wrong foot. So consider this my redemption.”

He stood up too and walked towards her.

“You don’t need to; it was the least I could do. And I’m sorry if I was a little rude to you.”

“It’s okay, I was being a little rude myself. Showing at your house like that and demanding for your help. I would be in a bad mood too if I were I your shoes. But I thought Allen would at least had told you about helping me…”

“Well, he was head over heels because of the wedding. I bet he just forgot.” - he saw that mischievous grin on her lips again. - “What?”

“You do like him, uh?”

Damien said nothing, but the shade of red that suddenly raised on his face spoke to him. He simply turned around and opened the apartment door.

“Lunch. Let’s go grab some lunch.” - he said, stepping out on the hallway. Ellie let out an evil laughter before following him.

Damien took them to eat some kebab from a food cart.

“I love how you can find every piece of the world here in New York.” - Eleanor said, eating her own lunch. - “Especially on street food!”

“If you haven’t eaten something from a food cart, then you didn’t have a full New Yorker experience.” - Damien said, feeling satisfied. The kafta was great. - “Thanks for the lunch by the way. I forgot my wallet at home when someone came and kidnapped me.”

Eleanor giggled. He liked the sound of her laughter.

“I’m sorry, okay?!” - he chuckled back. - “But you’re not from here, are you?”

“No. But I’ve been living here for almost seven years. I’m Puerto Rican. And you… you’re not fully Korean, are you? Because of your surname.”

“No, I’m not. My father is Chinese, so this is why my surname is different from Nadia’s and Allen’s. Their fathers are my mom’s brothers.”

“So you’re half-Chinese and half-Korean.” - she nodded. - “Interesting. Nadia is mixed too. Only Allen is fully Korean. Although his parents met each other here.”

“That’s right. What an amazing thing is the globalisation, uh? I love it. Getting to know new places, new cultures, new people.”

They walked down the street, and Damien couldn’t hold back a smile listening to Ellie’s excitement. The more he knew her, the more he was intrigued by Eleanor Zhou, as he first felt when he met Allen and Nadia, six years ago... And the more it was confirmed that she was a Park. She had that cheerful view of life that he always admired on the Parks, even though she seemed more down to earth than her cousins.

“So. Where are we heading to now?”

“I’m going to work.” - he answered her. Those cases weren’t going to solve by themselves.

“I thought you were going to give me a fully New Yorker experience!” - she pouted.

“And I just did. You ate from a food cart. You should go eat a bagel next.”

“Jerk.” - she said and they shared a laugh. Damien felt like it’s been a while since he laughed this much. - “Alright, I guess I’ll have to carry my bags alone. Sigh.”

“You didn’t just said ‘sigh’. Who does it?”

“I do, when I am frustrated. Sigh.” - he chuckled. Eleanor was a little weird, but she was cute too.

Was it another Park trait? How could all of them be so adorably weird?

He hesitated for a second, wondering. Should he do it?

Damien knew that he should turn around and go away.

Don’t get involved with another Park.

“But, uh… maybe we could… go drink tomorrow night. If you feel up to a night out in New York, I mean.” - the words simply came out of his mouth before he could hold them back.

And then, he saw that sly grin on her face again.

“I don’t see why not. Pick me up at nine? On Allen’s apartment.”

“Okay. Uh, I better go now. You have fun shopping.”

“Wait, I better give you my number. Just in case, right?” - she said, stepping closer to him, before he walked away. Her brown eyes shined mischievously.

“Oh. Yeah, sure.” - he grabbed his phone and she told him her number. - “Okay. Uh… you have my number, right?”

“Yeah. See you tomorrow night, Damien.”

And he watched her walking towards the nearby subway station.

He looked down to his hand, her number still glowing on the screen of his phone.

Fuck.

Damien Nazario knew that he was screwed up.

Nope

IN CHARACTER

DESIRED CHARACTER

Aidan Aurelius Avery

Every child in the very family has had a first name starting with A for years. Some families have Christmas traditions or family heirlooms. The Avery family as A names. Maybe their middle name starting with an A might be a bit of overkill, but they don’t much mind. They actually quite like it. Aurelius may be a bit outdated, but Aidan has to admit—their name does have a certain ring to it.

FACE CLAIM

I’m definitely on board with keeping Avan

REASON FOR CHOSEN CHARACTER

Here’s the truth, I looked at applying for this group several months ago but wound up not going for it. At the time, Aidan was the first one to catch my eye. There’s something wonderful in those dark characters who just don’t give a shit about the things they do. When I came back around to audition this time and I saw Xen I had to grab him instead. But honestly, Aidan’s voice in my head has never gone away and they’re a damn persistent muse.

There’s something really enthralling about playing dark, twisted characters. There are those characters who are just dark and twisted but ultimately think they’re in the right or have the right viewpoints to justify what they’re doing or don’t realize that what they’re doing is wrong. But that’s not Aidan at all. They’re Slytherin in all the very worst ways. And honestly? They’re proud of it. Aidan is out for no one but Aidan and fuck everyone else. If it doesn’t help them and their goals—namely to be one of (ideally the) most power and influential people in the wizarding world. Even Voldemort and the Death Eaters are just a part of that plan. The Death Eaters are where the people they’d consider friends, sure, but it’s the most powerful and pure families out there. If anyone is going to be able to help them to greatness, it’s this group of people. Do they believe in Voldemort’s message? Sure. Do they believe in Voldemort? Honestly, Aiden isn’t sure he has what it takes to do what needs done to ensure total blood purity. And if Voldemort stumbles and Aidan is the one to step up and take is place? Then so be it

Aidan is dark and twisted and self-serving. They thrive from chaos and get off on the pain of others. They like watching people squirm knowing they’re the one with the power. They’ll wind up at the top one way or another. And some times that means playing along, being sweet and king—acting like the perfect friend and sweetheart and they can (somehow) manage to pull that off perfectly. They’re a master at doing anything to get exactly what they want and nothing less. They make it easy to fall for their charms and they can pull off the character well. But don’t ever be fooled—it is a character, a mask, nothing more. Aidan doesn’t have a genuinely good bone in their body. And they don’t do anything that doesn’t benefit themselves.

PREFERRED SHIPS // CHARACTER SEXUALITY // GENDER & PRONOUNS

Aidan is certainly pansexual. They care more about having a good time and fulfilling their own needs far more than what parts their partner has.

While Aidan certainly has a healthy sex drive, romance is far less so. They’re far too self-centered for that. Aidan isn��t aromantic exactly, but certainly along the gray-romantic scale. It’s just not one of their goals and not something that fits with their life right now. It might still happen, it may be possible Aidan has the capacity for love, but it’s just not in their plans right now. Sure, one day they’ll marry a fellow Pureblood, if only for the power and to keep the Avery family line going, but Aidan seriously doubts they’ll love the person they wed.

That being said, Aidan has a deep fascination with Bellatrix. She’s pure twisted evil and he loves it. They’ve always been a bit jealous of Rodolphus for being the one to marry her—they had hopes for a brief time that perhaps Andromeda would turn out to be more like her sister but that’s a flat joke and even Narcissa is spoken for now. It’s not a crush they have for Bellatrix really, not necessarily romantic in nature (not that they’d deny a chance with her if something ‘tragic’ were to befall Rodolphus), just a deep fascination with her as a person, a love of the idea of her and all she stands for.

When it comes to gender, Aidan is far prefers neutral prefers neutral pronouns. They can accept male pronouns upon occasion, but agendered pronouns just fit better. They feel right. And frankly they’ll only tolerate masculine pronouns from certain people and for so long.

-A FEW HEADCANONS

Aidan’s birthday is October 27th, making him a Scorpio

Aiden doesn’t work currently—the Avery family has more than enough money to keep up with their lavish lifestyle. They’ll work eventually when something worth their time shows up. However, if you ask Aidan what their current employment is, they’ll simply respond that they’re and Unspeakable and there’s nothing more they can say about it. In function, they’re currently dedicating a large portion of their time to recruiting for the Death Eaters and making forward progress in blood purity.

Aidan really only has one goal in life: To be the most powerful person in the wizarding world. Now most people would take this to mean they want to have the most magical power and prowess. No, the magic capabilities don’t matter, Aidan wants the most power, the most control of anyone in the wizarding world. They have their eye on being the Minister some day. Which would be a start. But that isn’t nearly enough.

Coming from a long line of Slytherins, it’s little surprise that Aidan is able to speak Parseltongue, but they thrilled their parents with just how easily it came to them from a young age. Aidan’s very first word was Parseltongue, not English, and they’re just as fluent in the serpentine language as they are English. It’s not uncommon of them to grow bored or annoyed in a conversation with a human and start responding in Parseltongue.

Aidan has an enchanted flying motorcycle. They insist It’s better than Sirius’s which they call a cheap knock off.

Aidan’s wand is a 13-inch ebony wood want with a dragon heartstring core and a slight serpentine curve to it. They connected to the want almost immediately upon entering Ollivander’s wand shop.

Looking at their build—slim and lean—many people easily underestimate Aidan physically. During first year when they walked onto the Quidditch pitch and announced they were going out for beater, their fellow Slytherins quite literally laughed in their face. By the end of try outs, three students had numerous broken ribs and one had a broken nose. Needless to say, Aidan got their desired position and their teammates learned not to laugh at them.

As a master manipulator, excellent at reading people and getting them to bend to their desires even without magical aid, Aidan puts their skill to use helping the Death Eaters recruit new witches and wizards to join their ranks.

Of the Unforgiveable Curses, Avada Kedavra is actually by far their least favorite. It’s too kind and takes all the fun out of playing with one’s pray. Crucio ultimately beats out Imperio for a favorite spell as they find it far more entertaining to manipulate victims without the use of magic. Crucio does tend to have the unfortunate side effect of making the hexed rather useless after its use though.

The Avery family has a long history of being overwhelmingly Slytherin and rather embrace their serpentine past. Aidan has never been without at least one pet snake. They always found it quite unfair they couldn’t bring their familiars with them to Hogwarts—at least not if they played by the rules. But Aidan’s never been one to do that. Nearly every year they would sneak snakes on campus and then send them off with orders to go terrorize anyone they could find with even the slightest hint of ophidiophobia. Sure, it landed them in detention nearly every year but it was more than worth it. You won’t find anyone more comfortable round snakes than Aidan.

In addition to a strong Slytherin past, the Avery’s have also been tied to Voldemort for years. Aidan’s father has a friendship with Voldemort that dates back to their own days at Hogwarts and was one of the earliest Death Eaters. It’s a double-edged sword for Aidan. On one hand, being raised steeped in their ideals, Aidan is incredibly committed to the Death Eater agenda and has been a member for quite some time themselves. Aidan received their Dark Mark before their sixteenth birthday. They tout the family legacy of being some of the earliest members like a badge of honor. On the other hand, they’ve heard their father’s stories about little bullied Tom Riddle. For Aidan, Voldemort holds little of the dangerous mystique he does for most of the Death Eaters. While Aidan’s father would follow him blindly into anything, Aidan’s loyalty is far less faithful. They aren’t really positive that someone who isn’t Pureblood should—or even is capable—of leading this fight. Sure, he’s strong now, but Aidan’s waiting for him to faulter at some point. And if it’s Aidan that steps into the power vacuum it creates, they wouldn’t complain. But one way or another, they’re certainly not dying for their father’s schoolmate.

Aidan is quite literally a sociopath and their actions and reactions boarder on psychopathy. Aidan knows the things they do would often be considered ‘bad’ or that a ‘good person’ wouldn’t do them—but they’re not a good person and they don’t care. If someone is standing between Aidan and what they want, they will find a way to take you down. They don’t care the cost of their actions as long as they’re not the one paying. They are selfish and self-centered and care about little else than bettering their own position.

-CONNECTIONS

(All connections would be pending player approval of course, but would be a good jumping off point with Aidan)

Severus—It’s important to get one thing straight—Aidan does not consider Severus Snape a friend. That does not, however, keep them from acting like it. A sad, picked on Slytherin, Severus has potential to become a wonderous Death Eater—if, that is, Aidan can get them to fully turn their back on the likes of Lily Evans. Aidan has seen the potential for darkness since they were young and has always tried to drag it out of him. They pretend to be a friend. But only because he’s so easily manipulated to do their bidding and not due to any real connection between them.

Natalie—Aidan never much liked the idea of having a Hufflepuff in the Death Eater ranks. They are, by far, the weakest of the houses in their eyes. They were frustrated to say the least to see Natalie join the, especially when she keeps her alliance so quiet. However, there are benefits. She seems to want to become a better Death Eater and learn more about how to become more enthralled with them. It’s a unique opportunity to take someone like her and darken her. Aidan is serving as a mentor of sorts, drawing her further in and corrupting her in a way that will leave their undeniable fingerprint on her.

Sirius & Andromeda—They could have been good. They could have had power. They could have been part of a legacy. And they both walked away—for what exactly? Aidan has never understood. They can’t help but scoff and roll their eyes at the cousins. They could have had everything and they threw it away. The two traitorous Blacks are pathetic and yet another sign that the Black family isn’t as strong as everyone thinks. Sirius and Andromeda are failures who turned their backs on everything and it’s just sad. They’re worth nothing and Aidan likes to remind them of it.

Cassius & Augustus—Friend is a complicated term when it comes to someone like Aidan but were anyone to hold it when it comes to Aidan, it would be Cassius and Augustus. They’re both dark just the way Aidan is. Cassius is a Pureblood Slytherin just like themselves and has the physical violence to compliment Aidan’s dark mind. Augustus is a perfect sheep in wolves’ clothing that Aidan appreciates and can relate to. They both only bring out the worst (which Aidan considers the best) in Aidan and they do the same to the others.

IN CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE

The following section should be looked at like a survey for your character. Answer them in character and feel free to use gifs. Or, if you’d rather, answer them in third person or OOC without gifs. Answers do not have to be extremely lengthy.

♔ If you were able to invent one spell, potion, or charm, what would it do, what would you use it for or how would you use it? Feel free to name it:

“A more efficient and effective form of Legilimency. Sure, I suppose technically it already exists but it’s painful and obvious for the hexed and too complicated for the castor. A spell itself or perhaps just a potion to make Legilimency easier to cast and the hexed more pliable to the castor.” A devious smirk crosses their lips as they recline in the their chair, their pet snake twining through their fingers. “A stronger mind reading spell would mean more fun in playing with our victims. And if you can read someone’s mind, manipulating them becomes a snap and then Imperius is no longer needed. One less necessary Unforgivable Curse. Not that there’s anything wrong with them, but using a non-Unforgiveable means you’re less likely to get caught and even if you are, it’ll cary a lighter sentence, so really it’s a win all the way around.”

♔ You have to venture deep into the Forbidden Forest one night. Pick one other character and one object (muggle or magical), besides your wand, that you’d want with you:

“Well I don’t believe in playing by the rules, so I’m not just taking one person with me. It would be far more fun with both Cassius and Augustus. A trip through the forest with the two of them would be much more entertaining than choosing just one, so that’s who I’m taking,” they say with a shrug. “Besides, the more hands to gather up unicorn blood and centaur hooves for potions, the better. Taking just one would be cheating the whole world of something wonderful. And not that we would need to bring anything along with us but the only obvious answer is Salazar’s locket. No one really knows what powers it has or where it is, but if it comes from the original Slytherin, they have to be strong. And let’s be honest, needing to speak Parseltongue to use it won’t be an issue for me.”

♔ What kinds of decisions are the most difficult for you to make?

“Honestly?” they look bored as they twist a long strand of dark hair around their fingers, “any that don’t involve me. I just don’t really see the point. It’s unimportant at best, so I don’t see the sense in having any input much less making any sort of decision.”

♔ What is one thing you would never want said about you?

“That I’m weak or ignorant,” they say, eyes burning furiously even at the idea. “I’m neither, regardless of what other people may see. Neither should ever be said about me. But certainly not that I’m weak. I’m not weak and I never will be.”

REACTION TO LAST EVENT DROP

(I’m pulling from both the full July update and from the St. Mungo’s party with a few places I see Aidan fitting with them both)

Being from a well-off Pureblood Death Eater family and someone who values status, Aidan would definitely be in attendance at both the St. Mungo’s fundraiser and the engagement party. When it comes to the St. Mungo’s party at least, Aidan is certainly not above being the masked Death Eater who made off with the funds to cast doubt on Aversio. It’s definitely the kind of manipulative plot Aiden would come up with. And if it meant gaining more power in the organization, they would certainly go for it.

Another place I can definitely see Aidan getting their hands dirty would be trying to convince Gilderoy to join the Death Eaters. I think trying to bring in new members is a place where Aidan’s manipulative abilities would be put to good use by the Death Eaters there. Aidan would also definitely like to see someone with as big a name as Gilderoy Lockheart on their own side—not the Death Eaters’ side per say, but Aidan’s side. Who knows where that kind of influence could come in useful down the road.

Aidan would also definitely see the argument between the Black’s and Lestrange’s as a point of opportunity. It would be a chance to win over people on both sides of the argument and as a place for the Avery family (and thus themselves) to possibly step further into power if the divide goes any further. For now, they’d be planting casual seeds that they and their family are the right choice to lead. Meanwhile convincing those that support the Lestrange’s that they believe the Lestrange’s are right and those that support the Black’s that the Black’s are right, always laying the full field. (If they had to choose between the two families, frankly it would probably be the Blacks, even if Andromeda and Sirius are rater large let downs, the family as a whole is better.)

WRITING SAMPLE

(Forgive the godmodding please and thanks, only used for audition purposes)

“I’m just saying, I think you need to be focusing on yourself, your potential. You have so much of it. You don’t really want to look back and see you’ve wasted it all away, do you?” Aidan’s tone was the soft and warm of a sweet supportive friend. It made them want to vomit. Almost as much as the boy they were talking too.

Even now Severus Snape couldn’t seem to fully pull their eyes away from the red head who was being disturbingly cute with her boyfriend.

“You can do better. That’s all I’m saying.”

“Don’t-”

Before another word could come out, Aidan help up a hand, the candlelight of the Great Hall shining off their family ring. “I wasn’t insulting Lily. I know, I know, she’s perfect you’ve said it a hundred times. I’m just saying I don’t think she really sees you. She doesn’t see what you could be. And if she’s spending time with people like that,” Aidan sent a pointed look to the Gryffindor table, “then she’s not good enough for you. Find someone who appreciates you. Not someone who spends all their time with people who quite literally shove you around Sev. If she really respected you the way you think, she’d be spending her time with you.”

Here, Aidan leaned across the table and took the younger boy’s hands, giving them a gentle squeeze of reassurance. It was the kind of action Lily would have taken, something Severus would appreciate, so Aidan would too. “I just want someone who sees you. Really sees you. All your potential. All you can be. Someone who will actually love you. And I’m sorry to have to say it, but I just don’t know that Lily’s that for you. You deserve more, that’s all I’m saying Sev.”

A voice over their shoulder cleared their throat. “Come on Avery. You know how much of a twat McGonagall becomes when we’re late.”

The smirk on Aidan’s face became a bit more genuine when they heard Cassius’s voice. “Well you heard him. I’ve got to go. I’ll see you around Sev.” Aidan stood and walked away with Cassius and Augustus. The moment they were out of the younger boy’s sight, they shuddered. “Good lord, you couldn’t have come in any sooner? I think I’ve got to go bathe my entire being in bleach.”

“You don’t have to talk to him you know,” the simple statement from Augustus earned a shrug.

“I do if I want him to keep doing my potions homework. Only a third year and still manages that shit better than I do.” Aidan let out a long sigh. “Minor benefits I suppose. It’ll pay off eventually. At least if it can stop being so fully pussy-whipped by that Gryffindor bitch.”

“I was reading earlier about a potion that calls for ground centaur hoof. It’s supposed to hold a lot of power.”

Aidan cast Augustus a look. “What’ve I said about the Ravenclaw babbling Auggie? Keep it relevant.”

“The potion I found can render the poisoned fully immobile for up to twelve hours.”

“Ah, see, skip to the relevant parts.” Aidan smiled genuinely now. “Lucky for us, we’re going to right where there’s a large herd of them. Not that they’re likely to just give us a hoof but, we know how to get what we want, don’t we? Unlucky for them I suppose.”

streetsofme ha risposto al tuo post

“Anyone who think Kit is a good actor is an idiot. And there's so many...”

Kit Harington and Emilia are both the weakest leads in GoT. No matter whatever the fuck you said, it doesn't make it any less true. Lena Headey should take all the awards for this fucking thing along with Alfie Allen, Aiden Gillen, Stephen Dillane, Charles Dance, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Pedro Pascal, Maisie Williams, Peter Dinklage, Liam Cunningham...

Sophie Turner is also weak acting, but Emilia and Kit are worse than her most of the Emilia and Kit are not bad actors, they are just the weakest leads in the cast.

@streetsofme ... wow, you really missed a fundamental part of that post or maybe even two, which were, let me quote back at you:

next time let me/us/whoever enjoy this guys’ acting in peace and keep your fucking opinion to yourself, because honest, if I could spend twenty years out of almost thirty of my life keeping my mouth shout about how much I hate HP to a) my rl friends, b) my internet friends and I could keep myself from informing them that I think it’s really bad under their posts or in their inbox or to their face because I’d be an asshole if I decided to shit on what they like, then you can pay me the same favor (or about anyone else) and not go around dissing stuff people like to their faces when they said openly they like them.

wow, you don’t like kit’s acting. great, amazing, 90% of the world agrees with you. I don’t. you probably didn’t bother to read half of what I wrote because ‘no matter WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU SAID’ so like, the fact that you show up in my notes bashing the guy’s acting when I specifically said in that post that it’s rude af especially on such a dumb matter as someone’s acting skills says a lot about how fucking rude you are, because I mean, you could have put it somewhat more nicely if you wanted to have a discussion. but nah, let’s do exactly what I said was rude af, right? :’D

also: I wasn’t talking about emilia (whose skills I’m not a great fan of but guess why, I don’t go telling emilia fans that according to me her acting gets in the realm of decent when she has scenes with iain glen only, because uuuh, I’m not an asshole and I don’t need to bash their favorite actress) and I wasn’t talking about sophie (who btw was not weak until she wasn’t playing the darth sansa version, she’s very good in s1-3, but never mind that), I was talking about kit.

but nah, you come into my replies - again - bashing three people you don’t like when I didn’t even mention two of them and you don’t know what I think of their skills.

also: welcome to the real world, acting awards don’t happen on merit 90% of the time or the oscars wouldn’t pick the *safe* choice once each ten choices unless it’s like, non-protagonist actors. I mean, you serious? I love alfie allen but he plays a character that the show has cut to secondary and he probably doesn’t even meet the time requirements to get nominated, when is he ever gonna get a nomination? if he didn’t get in in S2, he won’t get it at any point and it’s absolutely useless to complain about him getting sidelined when emmys = publicity and obviously they’ll send the names that cash in. it’s called real world.

also, congrats on the incoherence, because:

Lena Headey should take all the awards for this fucking thing along with Alfie Allen, Aiden Gillen, Stephen Dillane, Charles Dance, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Pedro Pascal, Maisie Williams, Peter Dinklage, Liam Cunningham...

ah, wait a moment, who got nominated out of the males at the emmys in season three, where NCW most definitely deserved it? hmmmmmm PETER DINKLAGE, who won an emmy for tyrion at least twice (s1/s4) and who always gets nominated because tyrion is a fan favorite and at least once he was preferred to someone else who had had more to do that season - ie, NCW. but now if NCW gets passed for peter dinklage it’s okay because peter is a Good Actor TM and kit is not?

also, who got nominated for best non-protagonist last year or two years ago? LENA HEADEY AND MAISIE WILLIAMS. they won? no. but spoilers, neither did kit, so what the fuck?

but other than that, let’s go over how fucking incoherent is your choice of names for rebuttal.

alfie: plays theon. everyone hated theon until s5. got himself cut off his storyline in S5. didn’t have a chance to show his skills as a main character since S3. no way he’s getting nominated because a) time requirements, b) AUDIENCE POPULARITY;

aiden gillen: .... so aiden has been playing LF in exactly the same way, because excuse me the last three season he was going on automatic, with a shit incoherent script that makes him look like a maniac without a plan, and he’s not even a main-main but of course, they should totally send him for awards because publicity, right?

stephen dillane: lol. dillane hated being on the show, d&d treated him like shit and stannis had passable writing in S2, from S3 onwards it was obvious they didn’t know what to do with him and they came out with the most ooc/ridiculous way to have him dying, do you really think they were gonna send in DILLANE FOR AWARDS? in which world do you live? also, stannis has been dead since S5. kit got nominated for S6. period. wtf?

charles dance: charles dance is an excellent actor but I doubt he needs an emmy for got out of everything and he’s been dead since S4, kit has been nominated for S6. again, also for what were they gonna nominate him? tywin isn’t main enough for an emmy nomination;

NCW: WELL, they could have nominated him in S3 which was his moment to shine, they passed him for dinklage and jaime’s character development has been fucked to hell and back since the end of S4 and he doesn’t even have the OMG AMAZING VILLAIN rep lena has, so like......... sure as hell they didn’t pass him for kit, because in s6 kit had definitely more to do than he did, and we’ll get there in a moment;

pedro pascal: he was there for one season. in which he died. kit’s been there since S1. and it was S4. kit got nominated for s6 only. pedro is not on the show anymore. but okay;

maisie: SHE ACTUALLY GOT A NOMINATION SAME AS LENA ABOVE SO;

peter dinklage: HE WON TWO AND GOT NOMINATED EVERY OTHER YEAR EVEN FOR YEARS WHEN HE LITERALLY HAD FUCK TO DO like S5 so they’re doing exactly what you say they should;

liam cunningham: .... liam is a national treasure and I <3 him but are you seriously, seriously thinking that for publicity they’re sending the actor who plays davos? like? davos is in my top 5 characters period but he’s not the kind of challenging character to play that gets emmy nods and like tywin, he’s main but not main enough.

so like, everyone you mentioned either got nominated or won or got noticed or has no chances period because that’s not how emmys work.

and btw, kit hasn’t *won* the one time he got nominated so it’s not like he took the prize from someone more deserving if that even matters, but anyway:

kit was nominated for season six. if you had bothered to read above you’d have remembered that S6 had resurrection, sansa reunion, battle of the bastards where he performed his own stunts for the entire thing and excuse me if that’s not a demanding performance and that it came after S5 where his sl was the only decent thing in the entire mess and where he played it imo perfectly, and he also had a ton of material to work with. and - he was the main character, and he had way more challenging material than NCW, peter or anyone else you mentioned. so he got an emmy nod because he carried the entire thing on his back whether you like it or not and because he worked his ass off to film one hour of pseudo-realistic battle scenes where he did his own stunts and wow, they dared nominate him when he actually put some serious effort into it same as he does since S1 and actually improves/works at the craft and has steadily improved, but hey, he totally shouldn’t get a fucking nomination because you don’t like his acting? well, I see his. where is yours? :’D

like. you think he’s a weak actor and you won’t even read why according to some people he’s not? fine, but no one has asked for your opinion especially when put in such a fucking rude way and next time you can keep that for yourself, including all the opinions you have on sophie and emilia because I’m not here to do the kind of blogging where I put actors against each other or shit on people I don’t like. or if you really feel like informing me, do bother to not refer to the entire thing that it took me one hour to write as ‘whatever the fuck you said’, because if you wanna have a discussion, reading what the other person said should be the damned starting point of it.

and next time look at the more deserving people you list first because you managed to pick a handful of names that in that context made no bloody sense. and for that matter, you totally forgot that they didn’t ever give michelle fairley a nod when imo she’s miles better than 90% of the girls in the show (I love most of them but fairley is a whole other level of being good), but hey, catelyn wasn’t flashy enough, right? and fyi if they had nominated richard madden in S3 I’d have entirely agreed because the only reason I didn’t quit the damned thing was that he was good enough at playing robb that he made me forget the script was mauling him 80% of the time, but I imagine that since richard is also very good-looking he can’t act, too, and it’d have been taking awards from the more deserving again, hm?

and tbqh aiden imo was way weaker than kit for the last three seasons of this mess of a show imo, because every time LF did something it made no sense and his plot was fucked to hell and back and whenever it was around the plot sucked and he was there playing always the same character the same way without going back or forward, kit instead has gone forward, had good writing and carried the entire thing professionally/solidly, but hey, what have you. it’s named subjective opinions. do I go tell that to aiden or lf fans? no.

next time either discuss this like an adult or fucking scroll by. thank you.

#streetsofme #janie replies #'whatever the fuck you wrote'#idk man i spend one hour replying to people and that's how you call it? thank you very much #kit harington for ts #jfc #see if i can't even say that according to me this idiot can act without people letting me do that in peace #mood since s5

Characters: Mitch Rapp, Stan Hurley, Aiden Breen, Ghost & Reader/OFC

Warning: male violence against female, torture, death. the usual.

Author’s Note: Watch Me! Also, thanks, thanks, thanks to @samann98 for allowing me to use her gif of Mitch straight up abusing that woman. Not only is her gifs great quality, but so is her blog. Go follow her :) She was an instant follow for me. Also, thanks to @obriens for that Mitch drowning gif. what a super babe, like, Linna is my source of all things Dylan and my love for her is undying for that. One last thank you to @sterek for Mitch with an AR, aka, my aesthetic. Really doing me fan service with these amazing gifs.

Summary: On the team's first day in Rome, Ghost abducts Stan and sets the two young agents on a path that they cannot turn back from.

Chapter Twenty-Eight - Chapter Twenty-Nine - Chapter Thirty

"What is it you think we do here?" Stan asked, leaning back into his chair and looking from the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi to Mitch sitting across from him at the small table.

"Kill people who need to be killed." Mitch answered nonchalantly.

"Exactly. At least you get that part of the job."

"Play nice, boys. We were all getting along so well for a minute there." You said dryly through their earpieces. Mitch looked across Piazza Navona to where you sat on the opposite side of the fountain, lazily eating gelato and people watching, trying to blend in with the tourists while actually keeping your eyes peeled for Ghost. "Wait, wait.... I think... Yea, no, I have eyes on Ghost. He's heading towards the south end of the Piazza."

"I'm pursuing. Mitch, cover my six." Stan said as he stood, took one last sip from his coffee and then walked away from the table and his young protégé.

Mitch glanced to his right, and saw you heading towards a trashcan to toss your iced treat and begin to follow Stan and Mitch. He got up from his metal chair and heard the legs scrape against the cobblestone underneath as he pushed it backwards. Mitch began to leisurely tail Stan, glancing around up at the buildings above. Any other tourist that saw Mitch would simply assume he was admiring the ancient architecture, but Mitch was actually checking for snipers and surveillance.

“Anything?” You said into Mitch’s ear, as you casually glanced over at him from across the piazza. Mitch subtley shook his head, and looked ahead at Stan.

“Fall back, kid. You’re getting too eager.” Stan mumbled into his mouthpiece.

Mitch rolled his eyes, but did as he was directed. He fell back and acted as if he was particularly interested in the plaque that you were pretending to read at the edge of the square. You watched as Stan weaved his way through the crowds of tourists to pursue the man wearing a beanie and a high collared jacket that you had positively assumed was Ghost.

"Hurley, I'm losing a visual on you.. Mitch and I are pursuing." You said with a not-so-subtle amount of concern in your voice.

Mitch turned to you, and covered his microphone so that Aiden and Stan couldn't hear him. "Y/f/i, go get the car.." You contorted your face into a bewildered frown. "Y/n/n... please."

You rolled your eyes, huffed, and broke off. "Keep me updated on your locations. I'm bringing the car around to follow." You took off on a hard jog back to the other side of the square where the black Maserati, that you had been provided with, sat.

"He's getting sloppy, Rapp, keep hanging back. I've got him." Stan directed.

Mitch's instincts were telling him to catch up though. Something was not right about all of this. If Ghost were trained anything like you and Mitch, he would know that he was being tailed and he would have had dozens of opportunities to shake them in the busy and narrow streets outside of Piazza Navona.

"Stan, what's your twenty? I've lost visual." Aiden requested through all of your earpieces. "Hurley?" Aiden repeated himself. "Rapp, do you have a visual on Agent Hurley?"

"Negative. I've lost him...." Mitch began bobbing and weaving through the crowd. "Do you have a visual on Ghost, Breen?"

"Negative. I've lost them both." Aiden answered, frantically.

"Play back the footage, Aiden. Find him!" You demanded, pulling the car around on the outskirts of the popular Italian tourist destination.

"I found his earpiece.. He's gone." Mitch reported, picking Stan's earpiece up from the dirty cobblestone streets. He rolled the tan and sticky, ear-wax covered listening device in his fingers and then finally shoved it in his jeans pocket. "Come on, Breen... Anything?"

"I GOT HIM. I got him! Ghost snatched him into the alley fifteen yard behind you on your right." Aiden said, both excited and upset.

Mitch began running back to the alley where Stan had gotten snatched, but paused when he heard people screaming and cursing in Italian and other Romance languages. Then he heard an engine revving, and suddenly, you appeared, parting the crowds as you drove aggressively towards his location.

Mitch hopped in the passenger seat, gripping the handle above the door, as you tore down the alley. "Of course Ghost was getting sloppy; it was a fucking trap. I should've known. I should've saw it coming." Mitch lamented, clenching his teeth over his disappointment in himself, and slamming his fist against the cushioned panel of the door next to him.

"I've got footage. I think he stuck him with something, cause I have Ghost stuffing Stan into the trunk of a silver Benz, and he is not fighting back." Aiden revealed.

"Where, Breen? I'm running out of alley here." You shifted into the next gear as the alley narrowed.

"Take the left. Two blocks, then a right. He's not that far ahead."

You pressed your foot down on the gas pedal further, hearing the sound of ancient brick scraping metal as sparks flew off of your side mirrors. The alley had finally narrowed too much and took both of your mirrors off. You didn't need them anyway. Stan had taught you offensive and tactical driving before he taught you how to parallel park.

"I'm on him, I'm on him." You sped up further and Mitch decided to put his seatbelt on. He swayed with the movement of the car, simply a bystander in the high speed chase for Stan.

"Who the fuck is this guy and why'd he take Stan? Am I the only one who still feels like there is something that Stan isn't telling us?" Mitch was angry. He didn't like feeling like he was behind the curve and he didn't like it when someone got the jump on him. No one answered his question.

"Holy shit, I'm watching the footage back. There was a woman following you and Stan, Mitch."

"Did she get in the car with Ghost?" Mitch inquired.

"Negative."

"Where is she now, Aiden?" You asked, leaning to your right and turning the wheel to make a sharp turn to continue pursuing Ghost, who had jumped the curb and was now driving up on the sidewalk of a busy Roman street, clipping a few pedestrians with his side mirrors in the process.

"Heading back to Piazza Navona."

"Collect her, Breen."

"I'm already on it." Aiden replied to Mitch.

"WHERE THE FUCK DID HE JUST GO?!" You shouted, slowing your speed down. "FUCK." You slowed to an abrupt stop and slammed your hands against the steering wheel. Regardless of your perfect tactical driving, Ghost had managed to lose you. You were beginning to understand how he received his nickname.

"It wasn't you. I lost him too, Y/f/i. We gotta get out of here though." Mitch glanced over at you, hearing the police sirens wailing in the distance. You rolled your head back and forth on your neck. You were angry.

"We’re coming back for you, Aiden." You said as you threw the car back into drive and raced off back towards Piazza Navona to pick up the agent and, hopefully, a hostage.

You stood outside of the door, your arms folded across your chest and a scowl resting on your lips, as you watched Mitch corner the woman, who had been following him earlier, against the white tiled wall. She was a beautiful American woman with long brown hair and a southern drawl, and you wondered what it would take to break her and start getting some answers. Mitch and Aiden had already roughed her up in the living room earlier in the evening, but it yielded no results. You stepped over to the bathtub in the bathroom and turned off the running faucets. The room suddenly became quiet besides the sound of Mitch and the woman breathing heavily.

"We don't have to do this. Just answer my questions." Mitch snarled at the woman. He was standing in front of her, shirtless. His muscles rippled down his arms and back as he leaned his arms against the wall on either of side of her.

The woman, rubbed the back of her hand against the blood dripping down her chin from her split lip, and then she spat on the ground next to Mitch's feet. Mitch was done playing nice. He slammed his right hand against the wall, next to her ear, and screamed expletives inches from her face. She recoiled, turning to her left, to see you staring coldly back, your left hand resting on the Glock on your hip-holster.

"I once saw him break a porcelain sink with a man's face. Do you really want that to be your fate?" A tinge of fear lit up the woman's eyes.

"Just tell me." Mitch put his left hand gently around her throat, almost hovering. Allowing her to understand the threat of what was to come if she didn't start speaking.

She looked at you, seemingly for help, and you simply raised your eyebrows. "Fuck you, CIA scum." The woman snarled back.

Mitch's upper lip twitched up momentarily, and he could feel his blood pressure rising. He was done. It was time to kick things up a notch. Mitch wrapped his hands around the neck of the woman's shirt, spinning her around to the other side of the bathroom, and he slammed her against the wall above the bathtub. Small cracks began to form in the tile from the impact. She yelped out in agony as her head made harsh contact with the porcelain of the edge of the tub. Mitch then pushed her under the water.

She fought back with her whole body against Mitch. She thrashed about in the water, spilling it on the floor and drenching Mitch. Mitch pulled her out from under the water, his hands still wrapped around her throat, staying just out of her reach as she tried to claw at his face. He submerged her again without asking any questions. She thrashed and thrashed and Mitch pulled her above a second time.

"Where is Ghost?!" Mitch screamed in her face. She clawed at his arms, and screamed in his face. Mitch dunked her under the surface once more. This went on for several more minutes; Mitch alway pulling her out just as her lungs began to give out.

"I'm not telling you anything. Just drown me already!" The woman screamed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

You frowned. This was not going to work. "M." Mitch slammed the woman against the tile wall once more, too enraged to even hear you. "M!" You yelled, finally garnering Mitch's attention. "Take a break. Let me give it a go." Mitch nodded. "Agent Breen, can you get me one of the chairs and some duct tape?"

Mitch placed the woman in the desk chair from the living room, securing her body against the chair and her hands against the adjustable arms. "What do you need from me?" Mitch asked you, staring sweetly at you. You stepped up to run your fingers through his almost curly hair and stared at the amber eyes through his beautifully dark, long eyelashes.

"To go take a break. We're gonna talk. Just us girls." You smiled at the woman, who glared in response.

Mitch began to walk out the door, before he turned around and leaned over to whisper in your ear. "I'm right outside if you need me."

"I know. I’ll be fine." You flashed him a genuine and relaxed smile and reached into one of Stan's bags.

Mitch shut the door and glanced at his arm, it was bleeding from the deep claw marks she had left, then he glanced down at his pants. He was drenched. Mitch walked over to his duffel by the bed and grabbed his other pair of jeans. He began to pull his black leather belt through the belt loops of his dry pair of pants when he heard the woman give out a blood curdling scream. Mitch noticed that he was the only one who ran to the door, as Aiden remained reclined on the sofa, picking through a plate of french fries.

He decided if Aiden wasn't concerned then maybe you were just doing your job. "You okay, Y/f/i?" Mitch asked through the bathroom door.

"Just talking about boys, M." You joked, and Mitch smirked. You were a little crazier than he knew, but then again, he was a little crazier than you knew. Mitch was not one to judge.

Mitch paced the room. The screaming had ceased about ten minutes prior and Mitch was growing anxious. Finally, the door opened, and you walked out, drying your hands off on a white bath towel. He noticed red marks on the plush towel when you threw it on the ground in the corner.

"I need a secure line with the Director." You told Aiden, who got up and walked to his computer.

"She talked?" Mitch asked, the surprise overly evident in his voice.

"She fucking sung." You replied.

"The Director." Aiden handed a hardwired phone to you, who remained standing in front of Mitch.

Mitch glanced over your shoulder and saw the woman slumped over in the chair, blood dripping onto the floor from her hands. "Director, Jennifer Blake. Yes, Ma'am, I know that.... We got her to talk. There is something going on here with Ghost and Agent Hurley, first of all. She said that he had been planning on abducting him and killing him from the moment he found out we landed in Rome. He lured us here." You paused and listened to Irene Kennedy on the other end of the line. "The real objective is that he has created more than one nuke. He's weaponized all of it and sent it off to various ports around the Mediterranean." Mitch raised his eyebrows in shock over what you had just told Kennedy. "Yes, Ma'am. Alexandria, Egypt, Athens, Greece, Barcelona, Spain, Beirut, Lebanon, Tel Aviv, Israel, Tripoli, Libya, and here, in Rome, as well." You looked up into Mitch's eyes with a tinge of fear. "Yes, Ma'am, she did. Aeroporto Internazionale Leonardo da Vinci." Mitch recognized the name. You gave the Italian name for Rome Fiumicino Airport, one of the busiest airports in Europe, and he suddenly understood that Ghost wanted carnage and to make this a true international incident. "Less than twenty-four hours, Ma'am." You nodded. "No, Ma'am. He has many more trusted associates who he has sent off with the other bombs.... Yes, Ma'am, if you secure us some assistance and transportation from the army, Rapp and I can take care of the nuke here and Ghost. He's still in the city, Ma'am. Yes, Ma'am.. Thank you."

You pulled the phone away from your ear and handed it to Mitch. "Yes, Ma'am. I understand." He watched as you turned around, grabbed a silencer from a supply table in the living area, and walked back towards the bathroom. You wrapped your fingers around the base of your gun, and pulled it out of your holster, then began screwing the suppressor onto the nose of the firearm. The woman weakly lifted her head at the sound of your footsteps on the hard tile floor. No sooner than when she looked up, did you lift your Glock and squeeze the trigger. The woman tipped the chair backwards, and crashed against the wet ground. You holstered your weapon and watched as a pool of red liquid began to move across the floor next to the woman's head. "Yes, Ma'am." Mitch gulped. "Thank you." He handed the phone back to Aiden who listened to Irene speak.

"She was ex-CIA like Ghost. Irene and the Agency thought she was dead. Apparently, she was part of Ghost's class." You gestured to the dead body in the bathroom.

"They didn't want us to bring her in?" Mitch asked.

You shook your head, and Mitch noticed your hands shaking. It was the first time you had killed someone without it being self-defense. You were frightened by how easy it was to do. "Stansfield wanted to tie up loose ends." You explained of the CIA Director, and Irene's boss.

Mitch turned his body in between Aiden and you, blocking the view of you, regardless of the fact that Aiden had his back turned to the two of you and was engulfed in his conversation with Irene. "You okay, Y/n/n? I could've done it, you know." He held your bloodied hands in his and gently rubbed his thumbs against your palms.

You looked up at him and nodded unconvincingly. "I would've had to kill someone eventually." You spoke the truth and Mitch nodded.

You and Mitch sat next to each other on the Boeing CH-47 Chinook Italian military helicopter, as it flew you out to Fiumicino to look for Ghost's temporary lair. The woman who you had identified as Jennifer Blake, one of Ghost's most trusted associates, had not been sure whether or not Ghost had been planning on making it out of this ordeal alive. That fact made him all the more dangerous. If Ghost was on a suicide mission, and had nothing left to lose, he was an even greater threat than previously predicted. The Chinook touched down on the tarmac of Fiumicino and you and Mitch were ushered to a small black Maserati, the car that you had requested be waiting for you when you landed.

Mitch hopped into the driver's seat and you directed him to the coordinates that you had received from Jennifer Blake. They brought you into an underground sewer tunnel that Mitch zipped through in the car. You fidgeted in your seat and rubbed at your wounded left arm; you had been enduring the pain and going on like you hadn't been shot less than forty-eight hours before.

"You okay?" Mitch asked over the revving of the supercharged engine.

"Just worried about Stan and that we aren't going to be able to stop all of this." You replied, watching Mitch slow to turn down a wider tunnel.

"We will, Y/n/n. I know we will, and Stan isn't new to this life. He's fine." Mitch couldn't be as soft and tender with you as he would want to be normally, mostly because he wasn't one-hundred percent confident that what he was telling you was true.

As Mitch drove through the tunnel and began seeing a growing light, he also began seeing figures get closer, blocking the way. He shifted into a higher gear and sped up. "They have guns." You announced the obvious.

"Get down." He pulled you across the center console and rested your head in his lap, then leaned to the left, towards the driver's side door, as the three henchmen sprayed the windshield of the Masertati with automatic-weapon firepower. The men backed up towards a locked metal gate blocking the way, and Mitch shifted into his highest gear. Two of the men stopped firing and began running back towards the gate, but the man in a blue and red, knockoff Adidas tracksuit, in the middle, continued his firing and Mitch pressed his foot to the floor of the car. The Maserati bounced as the man went under the front and then back tires. The man on the left of the car got torn in half by the grill of the car, also finding his way under the tires, and the man on the right got badly clipped by the mirror, splattering blood all over your passenger side window. The car blew straight through the gate, leaving it mangled and destroyed in its wake.

Mitch let go of his grip on your head and your eyes widened as you saw the cracks and webbing of the windshield from the barrage of bullets that he protected you from. "Slow.. slow, we're coming up." You pointed towards the white and fluorescent light up ahead.

Mitch came to a stop and pulled the M16 assault rifle off of the floor between your feet. You both knew you had to split up in order to find Ghost. You stared at him for a short moment as you stepped out of the car.

"I'll see you topside. You got your phone?" Mitch asked you, gripping the deadly weapon in both of his capable hands.

You nodded. You felt uneasy about splitting up. "Yea. You?" You knew you weren't hiding it well.

"I do. Just keep your eyes open, Y/f/i, and watch your back." Mitch began walking backwards towards the tunnel behind him.

"You too, M."

Mitch got topside quicker than he expected, realizing that his tunnel did not lead to the lair, but instead led away from it and back outside. He glanced around, surveying his surroundings and allowing his eyes to readjust to the harsh afternoon sun. He smelled saltwater in the air around him and then heard the sputtering of an engine and the smell of saltwater being replaced by fumes of gasoline and exhaust.

Mitch threw his weapon to the ground knowing it would slow him down, and began running towards the direction of the sound. He finally caught sight of Ghost, beginning to pull away from the marina on an oversized white and black, open-topped speedboat. Mitch began to sprint. He was the fastest on his lacrosse and track teams every year of high school, and he was undoubtedly the fastest at The Barn, although he always held back, never wanting to tip his hand completely to let everyone know what exactly he was capable of.

He plotted a course, as he realized that he was running out of dock and would soon lose his target. Mitch jumped up onto the deck of a docked yacht, running across its bow, and leapt with all of his might onto the back of Ghost's vessel.

Ghost turned at the sound of Mitch thudding against the white cushioning meant for lounging on the back of the boat. He pushed the throttle all the way up, then turned and ran towards Mitch, their bodies colliding as they began wrestling and beating on each other. The boat continued on its course, without Ghost driving, as the two men struggled against each other. Neither of them were able to get the upperhand, as they were both equally skilled. They tumbled down the short staircase into the cabin below and Mitch glanced over and saw a gagged and bound Stan strewn across a pile of life vests. In that moment of distraction, Mitch looked up, and saw the tread on Ghost's boot come down across his face, and Mitch blacked out from the impact.

Twenty-Eight <- -> Thirty

just thought I’d leave this here. Let me and the murderous boo know what you thought about our work.

Conspiracy Theory pt.2, A Reactionary Post

I pledge my faithfulness to you in sickness and in health. Receive this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity.

Major Crimes | S6xE7: Episode Review I loved this episode so much more than last weeks. The tone of this case fits the tone of the personal stories. Unlike last weeks when the tone was so widely different and was kind of jarring. And with everything that is going on this season the personal storylines completely outshine the cases.

What this episode is about: The Psychological Effects of Rape and Sexual Harassment Vanessa Gus (& Rusty): Was it Consensual or Non-Consensual? Love your life, Sharon Raydor Flynn The Misunderstood Feminist Bonnie Pearl Sharon Raydor Working Families The Landon's The Raydor/Flynn/Beck Family Fidelity & Support: Those that have it & Those that don't | Maternal Love Andrea & Rusty Bonnie & Vanessa Sharon & Rusty | Romantic Love Rusty & Gus Sharon & Andy

"There is no reason to say it is there." Even Provenza is getting annoyed with Cami.

"The last person I wanted notified is her Lawyer. No more impromptu press conferences." This is exactly what I was saying last time!

"She had trouble sleeping." "So she texted her attorney?" Andy finishing Sharon's sentence like this gives me life and makes me laugh.

"Your not my type. Your too far over 30." I love how Cami uses Curtis' words and throws them back in his face.

"Oh my god. You guys lie to people even when you don't have to." Nice throw back to the first few seasons when all Rusty said was all the Police do is lie to everyone. And I am never going to be a cop.

"We just can't let this asshole walk out of here." There is one crime that Andy hates above all else and that seems to be rape. He always reacts very strongly to rape cases. Remember what he did to Crolick, who got away after he raped a woman and then set fire to her? He sent Crolick flowers every year on her death saying "Happy Death Day." to remind him that there is someone out there that wont ever forget what he did. It even gave Brenda the idea to send Stroh flowers.

Sharon's shoes I feel like this is another case of Mary wanting to wear her own personal footwear in the show. I get that she's not working right now but man those are some ugly shoes.

Not to mention these shoes here. I get that Sharon's probably supposed to have swollen legs at this point due to her Cardiomyopathy. But they didn't have to pick some butt ass ugly shoes for her to wear.

The Psychological Effects of Rape and Sexual Harassment

Vanessa

Don't really know much about Vanessa's behavior before she was raped but it had a very serious effect on her. She became rather antisocial. She didn't want any kind of attention directed to her and several of her coworkers knew that she was suicidal. To the point that they thought she'd killed herself and wasn't surprised to hear about her death.

Gus (& Rusty) Rusty & Gus: Was a Consensual or Non-Consensual? TVfanatic's review of this weeks episode makes a rather interesting theory about what's going on with Gus. IF Gus was raped by Aiden. It might explain some of his behavior. Gus completely taking the blame and telling Rusty not to blame Aiden at all. Often times a victim of rape will take all of the blame of their rape, sometimes thinking that they deserved it. Gus avoiding Rusty. At the beginning of the season, Gus was deliberately avoiding Rusty. This could be because of him trying to deal with the rape.

If it was non-consensual why would Gus tell Rusty that he slept with Aiden? Maybe he's just too embarrassed to admit that it was rape. If it was Rape this changes things completely.

On the other hand... If it was consensual as Gus said to Rusty. Gus' behavior in this could also be explained as guilt over what he had done. Gus wanting to take the blame, because he is the cause of hurting both of them. Gus avoiding Rusty in the beginning of the season could be guilt about what he had done and not knowing how to fix it.

If Gus did sleep with Aiden. Like he said he did. Then I urge Rusty to not take Gus back. Even if Gus will never look at another man while their together. Trust is something that is completely lost between them. And even if Rusty could forgive Gus one day, he will never forget. On a personal note this is something that destroyed my friend's marriage. My friend's husband swore he'd never cheat again but he did over and over again. And my friend could never completely trust him again.

"I feel like I'm being bought out for sex it's gross." "And just so you know when I was being bought for sex, I made ten grand. Ever." DAMN there is so much being flung at the other here. Both of them flinging words of bitterness. It's interesting that he would bring up something so closely connected to Rusty's past. Considering that Rusty found out that Gus told Aiden about Rusty having been a prostitute. Which makes me think he never understood that part of Rusty's past.

"I'm sorry if I upset you. I was never very good at making you happy." A nice bit of Rusty being self aware. My how you have grown. Rusty ignoring Gus the way Gus was ignoring Rusty.

Love your life, Sharon Raydor Flynn

Sharon showing up at crime scenes this season is great but it also highlights a part of what Sharon is going through with her illness. Sharon has never shown up this much to crime scenes. Sharon is very dedicated to her work but is not the workaholic that Brenda was. She lets her team do their jobs and doesn't feel the need to stick her fingers in every pie. But I think with this illness creeping up on her, it is really throwing her for a loop.

Andy really is not the only one that's in denial about her illness. She's going to have to take a step back, probaby retirement. And for her to lose her career, something she's fought so hard for, one she loves so very much. A career that is so very much a part of her identity is enormisly hard for her to face. And so she's pushing herself to be everywhere because of that. As soon as Sharon starts to go down everyone rushes to her side. Amy making it the fastest to her, and is ready to catch her if she faints again. Provenza looks like he's about to have a heart attack.

"I don't need anyone to come pick me up." "Oh no, no no no. I am the incident Commander and I will not have you collapsing in my crime scene. Now, you are over doing it. I will call paramedics. They can be here in ten minutes." Provenza reacts so fast in having Wes call Andy and having Buzz grab her a drink. Considering his reaction to her collapse the last time, for the very reason that he cares so deeply for her he does not want her collapsing on him, again. He's fighting with her here to get her to slow down and rest and is losing the battle. Fortunetly though Wes did follow through on Provenza's order and did call Andy. Who we assume picked her up and droped her off back at home to rest. I love his and Julio's reaction to Cami picking up Sharon's train of thought. Like WTF Cami!? The woman is about to collapse again we don't want her pushing herself the way she seems determined to do. And we don't want to encourage it.

"Sharon Raydor slept in and the world didn't implode." Why do I feel this is as much a knock on us as it is about the characters? About how we won’t explode if Sharon is not in every scene. IMO, that was never the complaint. Much more about quality of scenes instead of quantity. Which we are finally getting.

The Misunderstood Feminist

Bonnie Pearl "I think Bonnie Pearl was more of a Maternal Figure."

I kind of had a feeling that they were going to go this route with Bonnie. And that she would eventually parallel with Sharon and boy do they ever. Especially with the whole Bonnie & Jerry, Sharon & Jack parallels. Bonnie is a tough go getter, a woman in a male dominated career and it seems misunderstood. Much in the way that Sharon Raydor is. Turns out the woman was very motherly towards Vanessa. Bonnie building a case against Vanessa's rapist really reminds me of that time that Sharon was very deliberate about how she dealt with Daniel Dunn after he beat Rusty.

My question here is why was Bonnie so close to Vanessa when she wasn't close to her son? What happened there?

Sharon "Your stronger than you think." Much like with Bonnie Pearl, Sharon was very misunderstood. Introduced into the show as the antagonist, who was not necessarily wrong. And the more that we got to know her, the more we realized we were very wrong about who she was. Both woman project an image of a tough feminist who seems rather uninterested in other's feelings. Sharon's seemingly emotionally aloofness is (in part ) a defense mechanism to protect her rather soft inner core. One that gets attached to people that seem to be emotionally damaged. Because she sees things in them that many others don't. Bonnie and Vanessa are the parallel to Sharon and Rusty.

Working Families

"It's wonderful don't you think, working with your family?" The Landon's

So it seems like Dr Peppy works with his family. I personally wouldn't let Disgusting Jr anywhere near my job. He seems like a spoiled brat who would rather be raging around with his hormones. Dr Peppy seems to be the showmen (and loves it) and Mrs Peppy seems to be the one to manage his time. Mrs Peppy definitely has the gumption to kill.

The Raydor/Flynn/Beck Family

Rusty & Gus "What's going on there?"

Rusty is really taking on some of Sharon's personality. When Sharon asks Rusty about his phone going off and why he keeps declining the calls. He knowingly deflects. And Sharon being Sharon who has to know everything that's going on with her children's emotional well being. Won't drop it.

"I'm sure that Gus will come around." One thing that I find odd (but also not) is Sharon's reaction to Gus sleeping with Aiden. Sharon has this ability to see the good in people, when no one else can. It is her greatest strength as a person and her greatest weakness. I would think that Sharon would be more pissed off at Gus for sleeping with Aiden and hurting Rusty so badly. But Sharon still seems very Team Gus. I get the feeling that Sharon thinks there is more to the story than what Rusty is being told.

As odd as this may seem it is very Sharon. This is the woman that didn't divorce Jack Raydor until 25 years after first separating from him. The woman that took in a boy no one else wanted and fought her almost every step of the way until he fell in love with her. The woman that saw a loving father who desperately wanted to fix his relationships with them, when everyone else saw a bitter angry man.

Rusty Graduates and Sharon laments

Sharon's emotional outburst is interesting for a number of reasons. It was heartwarming, emotional, sad, and with a nice light humorous touch. Rarely do we see Sharon this emotional. Her emotional outburst is a mixture of her happiness of having Rusty graduate college. Happiness of having a partner that she can truly lean on. And fear of losing all of that with her illness. Rusty seemed to be taken aback at how emotional she was over his diploma. I'm not sure he's ever seen her this emotional.

I also feel like that Sharon and Andy's behavior during this scene was interesting. Sharon putting her used tissue in his hand and him hold out his handkerchief to her was very fluid behavior. Like this is something they have done before and many times. Particularly when the two of them go out to the movies. Andy has to fill his pockets up with tissue for whenever Sharon bursts into tears. He always makes sure to keep one of his pockets empty because she always hands her used tissues to him.

What I love is that Sharon is so comfortable giving him her used tissue. And that he's so comfortable taking it. And that he's waiting right there holding out his hankerchief, knowing that she's not done and that she's going to need it. Sharon apologizes for her outburst. Sharon you don't need to apologize for being emotional. Both of them understand. I love how Rusty is all, I almost cried myself. And Andy was like you are going through a lot of emotions right now with your illness. You being emotional is completely expected.

"We'll keep him safe. As safe as a future attorney." "Oh my son, the Lawyer." OMG! We've got two very proud parents of their son!

"This is the happiest I have ever been in my entire life." First she tells Ricky how her heart is full. And now she tells Andy and Rusty that she's never been happier in her whole life. Season 5b, we got Sharon telling us she's the happiest she's ever been in her professional life. Now we get Sharon telling us how happy she is in her personal life. Once upon a time ago, she never sought out another romantic relationship. Or another child. But both men fell into her lap so unexpectedly. She didn't need them or had any need for them in her life. She was doing just fine on her own. But like in life, people come into your life when they are supposed to.

She didn't need Rusty but he needed someone to love and care for him. Would anyone ever thought he would have aspired to become a lawyer? She certainly didn't need another romantic relationship. There was already enough drama from her first marriage and life was good as a separated independent woman. While she would have been perfectly fine without Andy. The thing about their relationship is that they have both managed to heal the other. And for both of them to have someone they can lean on for emotional support. Which is a HUGE thing for both of them.

Sharon's perfect husband loves kissing her hands. We get two of them in this episode!

Love how this scene here ends with the three of them as their little modge podge family.

Fidelity & Support: Those that have it & Those that don't

Maternal Love

Andrea & Rusty

That look that Andrea gives Gus gives me life. She doesn’t even address him. She only speaks to Rusty. Andrea is like Rusty's Aunt who loves and wants to protect him. As soon as she found out they broke up Gus was in the gutter. And I would bet that from that look she knows why they broke up. What I find interesting is that Rusty told Andrea that he broke up with Gus. Once upon a time ago, Rusty wouldn't talk to Sharon about what was going on with him emotionally. Now he's telling stuff to Andrea! I love it. Rusty is growing up and becoming so much more comfortable in his skin and with the people he considers family. What I also find interesting is that Andrea was telling Rusty that she doesn't want him spending more his time with this guy who hurt him by telling him to hurry up that he's on the clock.

I am 100% here for Andrea & Rusty Auntship/Mentorship. I love how this season is lowkey showing how much the two of them care about the other. It's usually Sharon that is very sentive about Rusty's feelings. But with the two working so closely now, Andrea and Rusty have really gotten to know each other. Andrea has gotten very protective of Rusty in her own way.

Bonnie & Vanessa It really seems that Bonnie has taken Vanessa under her wing. And was very maternal towards her. Encouraging her to go to see a psychologist and to keep seeing her. Which really makes sense just how emotional Vanessa was after Bonnie's murder. I had thought that Vanessa had something to do with her death (such as her having killed her) turns out that her connection (to her death) was much different.

I think that a lot of Vanessa's coworkers and fellow members in the lawsuit againest Tackles. Knew how close the two of them were and Bonnie's death could have fueled a suicidal spiral for Vanessa. Vanessa was already suicidal and having someone who was a huge fountain of support just gone. Could have eventually lead her to suicide.

Sharon & Rusty Much like with Bonnie and Vanessa. Sharon and Rusty's relationship is also very similar. Both Sharon and Bonnie 'adopted' a child that was not their flesh and blood. And became a huge support system for them. Both Vanessa and Rusty have suffered sexual trauma's. Rusty for many years, did not deal with his past as a prostitute and his issues of abandonment. Like Bonnie, Sharon encouraged Rusty to talk to a psychiatrist. When Rusty thought that only crazy people talk to psychiatrists. And Sharon finally had to sit him down and stress that a psychiatrist isn't just for mental illness. It is also for dealing with trauma.

Sharon was a huge source of love, fidelity and support for Rusty. That he was able to adjust and deal with his trauma. And he's turned out into a mature adult.

Romantic Love

Rusty & Gus

Even broken up Rusty is still supportive of Gus. Rusty went as far as fixing Gus' terrible harassment issue by strong-arming Aiden into signing a recommendation letter and giving Gus two months of pay. Gus on the other hand is pissed about it. I get it. It can be shameful and embarrassing. And Rusty has a tendency to stick his nose in where it doesn't belong. But, Rusty however has his heart in the right place. And Gus' first reaction to this is anger and to lash out at Rusty. But he should be thankful that Rusty was able to get that for him.

Later on he seems to mellow out and he seems to swing from one extreme to other other. Anger at Rusty for sticking his nose in it. And later guilt and sadness and urging at wanting to get back together with Rusty. The thing is Gus was not faithful (as far as we know) nor does he seem very supportive of Rusty these days.

"What other people?" "Oh do you think your the only guy that Aiden ever hired or promoted for reasons not related to job performance?" From Gus' reaction to this it really sounds like he's got feelings for Aiden. Even back in part 1, when Gus told Rusty 'blame me don't blame Aiden'. Certainly sounds like he's got feelings for the guy (not to mention being completely blind to who he is), like he's trying to protect him from Rusty. Rusty asked Gus if he was in love with Aiden. And Gus never answered him.

Sharon & Andy "Part of loving my life is keeping my spouse happy right now." Andy doing his best to take care of Sharon and keep her happy as well. Slipping her a bottle of water to remind her to take her pills. In a very discriet way in front of Mason, who apparently has no idea the sevritity of Sharon's illness. Mason seems to notice it though. Love the way Sharon takes her pills so very fast. Much like with their romance their totally odvious.

Doctor's visit

I love how this scene starts! Sharon's got her head on Andy's shoulder. Clutching his arm and stroking it with her thumb. She looks so scared about what the specialist is going to reveal about her illness. It is a great scene of vulnerability. Once the doors open however she straightens up and puts on her mask. I really love this because of how much she is physically and emotionally leaning on Andy for support. This is what being married is supposed to be about. Having a partner who will be there for you for the rest of your life. Who will support and love you in whatever you do. And I really feel like this is the first time we are seeing Sharon lean on him like this. It is also a hint of the things that we don't see. In that Sharon is only vulnerable like that with Andy.

While Sharon does look more put together emotionally after they walk out of the elevator. She does still seem so very uncertain and scared. Andy of course notices this and calls her out on it, thinking it's her illness. He's afraid she may collapse on him. Especially with her scare earlier in the episode.

It's really interesting that it's Andy that leads them out of the elevator and to the door. Sharon is always the one to walk ahead, she's always confident about what she's doing. She is always the leader carring the rest of the pack. In this instance, Sharon needs him to be strong for her. And he certainly doesn't let her down.

"But if anything were to happen." "Sharon, nothing is going to happen." "No I know but I need to say this. If anything were to happen, please, and please look after my children." "Of course." A few things to note from this conversation. The Laura Roslin illusions are strong and I don’t like it. Parallels to conversation that Laura had with Bill about what kind of funeral service she would want. Another thing is Andy's is still very much in denial. One thing is for sure is that Sharon's life will have to change. Another thing is Sharon's trust in Andy. Sharon could never trust Jack to ever be there for Emily and Ricky. Not when they were married. She can breathe a little easier knowing that there is someone she can rely on to help her children deal with her death.

Another thing that I just love about their relationship. Or Andy's behavior in their relationship. Is how much of a gentleman he is to her. Always. They say it's the little things that count in a relationship. And Andy is always opening doors for her. Always letting her have the more comfortable seat and in some cases letting her have the only seat. It is such a sweet and loving touch. That has always said to me "I love you so very much, so I will put you first." I love how he still does this and that it didn't stop once they got together.

"We'll be two injured hearts beating together as one." "Oh my god, that sounds like a bad country western song." I love this. It's so corny but the thing about it is. It gets Sharon to laugh. Which is ALWAYS his goal when his lady is down. I also love how this whole entire conversation changes tones on a dime. First Sharon is talking about her last wishes. Then Andy is trying to lighten the mood and their is so much mirth. And it makes me so happy that both of them are so happy. Just makes me think that the two of them are laying in their bedroom cuddling and giggling about the dumbest stuff.

“I've been so happy in my life but walking through that door to see yet another Doctor could change everything." "Not everything, never everything." Throughout all of this Sharon is so uncertain about what is going to happen. She's scared and frightened. But she is not alone. And I love how Andy reassures her that their is one certainty in her life and that is that Andy will always be there for her. He will always love her. And that will never change. She will have him for support for the rest of their lives. And that makes it that much easier for her to face whatever is going to happen beyond that door.

The way that he looks at her when he says "Not Everything, Never Everything." with so much damned love! Andy loves you so freaking much. He will be strong for you when you aren't. He will be here when you need him. He will help you find your way when you are lost. I love all of this so much because Sharon is always strong. She is always the one to guide others. Care and carry them and help them through emotional issues. It is really wonderful to see someone else being strong for her. And who better than her perfect husband.

Plus there's that whole doors thing again. And this time both of them are walking through the doors. Together.

Speculation: Does anyone else think that Aiden will be back wrecking havit for Rusty?

Vanessa's missing books could be Dr Landon's books but....if Dr Landon is her rapist, why would she keep her rapist's books?

Vanessa was stunned to keep her from attacking her killer. That certainly makes it easy for a small person or a woman who's not very strong to kill her. Much like there has been a lot of speculation that Dr Landon's wife is the killer.

What I don't like: I don't think I can really think of anything. Well maybe Rusty and Gusty angst is a little too much in this episode. Also Sharon’s casual shoes are butt ugly in this episode. You can have casual wear and still not look like a grandma.

What I do like:

This episode was EMOTIONAL AF. Angsty AF, heartwarming and loving. Lots of personal stuff. Just the type of stuff we have all been waiting for. Another amazing Family scene, Another amazing Shandy scene!

Sharon and Andy’s casual wear to the doctors. Loved Sharon’s dress and Andy looked so much more handsome in that jacket than that grandpa sweater he wore in Sanctuary City pt5.

So much of this episode is about Fidelity. I never realized just how much until I started piecing it together. It's a nice thing to explore after Sharon and Andy just got married. How much Sharon is relying on Andy to be strong for her. And how much Andy is being a great source of strength for her! Mary who once again knocked it out of the park with her performance.

Previous to you actually pull out your hair, Bear in mind that there surely is nothing as'ordinary' as it has to do with the items in mind -- only the hair that you chance to own been coped with hair which is particular for you personally.

However, if you should be this person in question, then a thick thatch may be described as a steady supply of aggravation.

"With hair that is thick, that the Most Important dilemma is Manageability along with also the absolute amount of their own hair," claims Jaymarie Winkler, a shop director in the brand new Ruffians barber-shop at London office store Liberty.

The Way to Create Thick Hair

Ordinarily, marginally shorter hairstyles Do the Job Most useful the following. "Believe Caesar fringes, buzz blows, textured plants and brief weathered quiffs," says Winkler.

In Case the hair Is Particularly thick, then inquire your Barber or woman to choose a number of out the weight with exclusive thinning scissors. "This may aid in case your hair is quite thick, but stay clear of doing this in case your own hair is too rough, since it's going to help it become carbonated and more uncontrollable."

In Addition, it Is worth Making it possible for the hair to wash naturally if potential since jelqing could boost volume, so which makes it appear much sexier. If blowdrying is very important, stay glued to some trendy feeling.

Everything Services and Products To Utilize For Thick Hair

Perhaps not volumising mousse, such as you personally. Scrub hair Advantages of styling services and products which offer hold with no incorporating quantity or stickiness, S O Winkler proposes stocking upon clays or even pastes.

In accordance with Paul Morgan, a Learn barber In Jacks of all London, a fantastic moisturising shampoo can be crucial, as would be an adequate conditioner. "They will prevent hair-drying and be sure that it remains in very good shape, and it is essential as when dry remains dry that the cuticles [the surface of one's hair] will stay receptive plus it's going to look fuller and straw-like."

Conditioners also Keep thick hair relaxed and also lead at a more glowing and not as voluminous appearance. "Moroccan Oil is good for brittle hair since it moisturises and, even using protracted usage, may adjust the feel and also soften the entire scalp," states Morgan.

Coping With: Wavy Hair

Approximately 40 percent of men have Slightly curly hairand in the event that you should be one among them, then you are in fine business --David Gandy, Orlando Bloom and also Roger Federer are 3 famous adult males who understand just how to experience waves.

Like curled hair, the watertight material could seem Bulky and will to answer this current weather with an tide turning into more conspicuous sometimes of higher humidity or if there is drizzle in the atmosphere. Supplemental waves may additionally sprout in regions you had rather they did not and receive knotted and uncontrollable in case your hair is too long enough.

"in the Place of the usual Terrible matter, in most respects, Hair thinning hair really is your sacred grail of hair thinning styles," says Winkler. "just about all fashions operate, however whatever pushed backwards genuinely shows off this tide. When a hair is thick in addition to wavy, even however, your own barber usually takes a number of some of the majority out having a wig or thinning scissors without even risking frizz."

Notably Fantastic reductions for men together with wavy hair Hair include things like the under-cut (at which both sides and rear a maintain very short with all the hair worn on shirt ), the people school facet area (at which in fact the fringe drops forwards ) or unfastened and tousled (feel Jon Snow or Harry types ). Only recall: that the more your hair, the more conspicuous the tide, therefore in case restrain can be your own target, maintain your own hair underneath about three inches approximately in total.

To muster more hair thinning hair which will become Bit shaky, Morgan indicates linking this up broadly instantly. "disassembled from the daytime it is going to have natural, very cluttered, wavy appearance -- low care and very easily trendy "

You May increase (and seem following ) your waves With hair goods developed to identify and boost waves and curls while still cutting down the insane scientist appearance by having an anti-frizz serum.

If you Really Need to wave goodbye, then you then can Always briefly take them of with all the aid of some of ceramic sprays. If the trimming is very brief, then elect to get a version having bigger plates since these supply larger accuracy -- and that's actually the gap involving smouldering appearances and second-degree burns off.

Coping With: Scrub Hair

"hair is curled due to the follicle It develops from underneath your entire scalp isn't directly," claims star hair dresser and also trichologist man Parsons. An average of, curled hair can be somewhat rough in feel, and also the coarser the hair, the water it's and for that reason the drier it's.

"Additionally, it absorbs mild instead of reflects It, therefore it will not have to seem like'glistening' as well as hair might," says Parsons. "Another drawback is it could eventually become curled in humid weather, so and that's the reason why it is crucial that you make use of services and products which make a protective guard ."

The Way to Create Frizzy Hair

A Whole Lot of men find affectionate for curled Hair overpowering, ignoring this into the purpose of humor 1980s scouser ("it really is not the simplest hair variety to take care of," admits Parsons).

You've got three choices: battle this from maintaining It shot (and that's the way Justin Timberlake tackles his famously curled mop shirt ), get rid of the curls having a enjoyable therapy, or and that really is unquestionably the simplest & most accurate alternative -- you are able to merely take advantage of exactly what character has presented you. Afterall, it is less though there are not a lot of poster-boys to get curled hairthink James Franco,'' Adrian Grenier and also Carlos Valderrama. Ok, so not Valderrama, nevertheless, you receive the concept.

"To preserve define curly hair, inquire your Barber to get a level, layered minimize create the entire, curled end," advises Morgan. "that you really do not desire an excessive amount of reduction or texturising to occur" A curled haired (quick in the sides and back, extended and curled in addition ) consistently appears excellent, as does a curly haired quiff and hair increased into jaw-length a manhattan project Aiden Turner at Poldark.

No matter fashion you Opt for, be certain to obtain it shaped or cut after tender. Wild hair is much more comfy once moist, flapping a little once warm, therefore with this manner guarantees that the length and style that you desire.

"Product or Service option Is Critical for curled hair," Claims Morgan, that urges a moisturising shampoo to avoid hair turning out to be watertight and dry with a shaving product such as Moroccan Oil Moulding Cream.

If you are at a knot, then select up the proper Tool, also.

Simply Keep in Mind that Utilizing warmth on curls -- combined side alcohol-based sprays and mousses -- may create desert-dry hair drier, and thus do not neglect to undo the ramifications having a moisture-rich, non-volumising shampoo and also intermittent freezer.

These are able to be catchy for barbers to bargain with due to the fact they need to bargain with just two centers of expansion to create round.

Cow-licks, meanwhile, are somewhat little segments of Hair which extend contrary to the typical management of baldness increased over your mind to develop gravity-defying tufts which stand upward and withstand most efforts to tame them together with services and products such as waxes and pomades.

The Way to Create

"In case you Are in Possession of a conspicuous double crown, then you Need to dedicate to a lengthy, really dimmed or quick design," says Winkler. "more will weigh down the crown, rendering it noticeable, and moving brief and weathered will conceal it" Such a thing among and also you're seeking problem, together with various segments of one's hair growth markedly aside.

The Simplest way to Handle a stubborn Cowlick will be really to really go to get a brief, spiky or eclectic style which is employed using it instead of it, disguising the hyper-active hair from the procedure.

As an Example, Blowdrying can briefly Transform the management of hair development should cow-licks certainly are a issue, even though raising your hair more may aid by weighing down it.

G L O R Y (&&) GORE — meet AIDEN DAVIS; the BRAWLER.

“everybody you fight is not your enemy and everybody that helps you is not your friend.”

{ ♚ AT A GLANCE }

name: Aiden Davis

age: 33

gender & pronouns: UTP

occupation: Bodyguard (&) Underground fighter

loyalty: The Venturi

availability: Open

faceclaim: Jared Padalecki ( negotiable to Stephen Amell. )

{ ♚ A DEEPER LOOK }

A fist advanced quickly toward his face and Aiden blocked it with his forearm. “You’ll have to do better than that to take a shot at me man.” Juliet’s wake and it wasn’t the peaceful memorial it was supposed to be. Aiden had shown, of course he had, and glances had been send his way ever since. It wasn’t his fault, rationally, he knew that. And the others did too. But she was still dead and that wasn’t something anyone would let go of easily. Ethan was by his side and he grabbed the low rank man who had tried to take a shot at his friend. “Come on, don’t cause a scene, he’s not worth it.” Aiden was already guilt ridden, he didn’t need to add anything else to the pile of emotions he was trying to push away. He had the night off, he wasn’t on duty when she died. The words had been repeated so many times they lost the little meaning they even held to begin with. Just because one of the top bodyguards of the Venturi didn’t mean he was responsible. Except that part of him felt like he was. He had vouched for the man who ended up with Juliet that night, a man no one had hear from since her disappearance. Probably dead or if the family had been clement, lying in an hospital bed somewhere. No, it wasn’t directly his fault. But if that was the case, why couldn’t he stopped feeling guilty?

{ ♚ A HISTORY LESSON }

Fighting was something Aiden learned almost before walking. His father was a professional boxer and he would take his son to most of his trainings. Aiden and his mother were always sitting front row when his dad fought, no matter where it was in the world. Every punch that his father took was like an open wound to him, something that only the half smile his father made from the ring could soothe. When he smiled, Aiden knew that everything was alright and he wasn’t scared for him. Being in such an environment, little Aiden learned all the tricks of the ring and he was starting the train with his father by the time he was five. Contrary to what many believe, the teaching wasn’t only physical. While learning to throw a punch was a big part of it, learning how to receive one or when exactly to throw that punch were as important. The teachings of the ring were to be used there only and never on other kids. Fighting outside of sport was to be used only in case of emergency, only when someone was in danger and nothing else could be done. It was a teaching that stayed with Aiden for a while, at least until his father stopped smiling from the ring.

It happened quickly and slowly at the same time. One second his dad was standing and the next, his eyes went blank and he fell on the ring. The punch that he received to the head was too hard and hit at just the right place. James Davis entered a coma from the trauma to his head and he never came back to himself. It’s then that Aiden started to get in trouble. Fighting became something else for him, a way to let his anger out. The only problem was that with every punch, he became even angrier. They weren’t in need, his father’s earning were more than enough to provide for a decent life. But objects didn’t matter when he had lost his best friend. Aiden was only twelve but he understood too clearly what his life would be. He got expelled from school and then from another and another until the more respectables ones didn’t want him anymore. He was sent to a boarding school for trouble teens and that’s when his life changed, again. A teacher really took a liking to him and for the first time in what felt like forever, Aiden had someone to look up to. He was part of the boxing club and eventually graduated.

During his time away, Aiden had realized that fighting was like a drug to him. But it was also all he knew in life. With the money he came into at his 21st birthday, part of the inheritance that was left by his father, he opened a boxing gym. One of his father’s old friend came by the business one day to offer him a job as a bodyguard. Aiden proved to be trustworthy and exceptionally gifted at the work. After only two years, he was promoted as Juliette’s bodyguard. Maybe he had been too comfortable at his job, maybe they all were because of the treaty. Aiden was off the night she died, another man was by her side, or at least, should have been. The bitter taste of regret hasn’t left him since and while he did everything he could to help find her, Aiden’s old demons have come back to haunt him.

{ ♚ NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT }

Guilt ridden, Aiden couldn’t care less about the death of Michael Romano. Juliet, the one he was supposed to protect, is gone and with that, the purpose he had in life. The man is angry, that’s for sure. He knows that Gregory wants everyone to pay for the crime committed and the fighter is ready to follow any orders thrown his way. Juliet was family, she was Gregory’s daughter, and after loosing his father, the word family hold a meaning that Aiden is hanging on to fiercely. If it wasn’t for his friendship with Maria, with he would already have gone for the Romano, sure that they’re behind all this. The fact that one of theirs, and Michael at that, has been killed too isn’t enough of a reason to erase his suspicions.

{ ♚ ABOUT THE PERSONALITY }

+: adventurous, compassionate, dedicated, protective -: extreme, resentful, tense, volatile

Fighting is in his blood and while he was trained early on not to fight for nothing, the hardship in life and his volatile nature have gotten the best of him. The man is caring but those who doesn’t fall into his good graces are best to be afraid. Aiden is brute force, a volcano too often waiting to erupt.

{ ♚ FRIENDS & FOES }

♠ Ethan Smith ( BEST FRIEND ) - “mess with him, you mess with me” ; The two had been recruited by Gregory themselves, two boys trying to hold themselves together in the absence of a family. Ethan had been with the Venturi for far longer and he showed Aiden the ropes. Almost brothers, they’ve had each other’s back since the day they met. Everyone knows not to mess with one or the other will come for their throat. And while this is true of most of the core Venturi’s affiliate, these two have demonstrated it plenty in the past.

♠ Gregory Venturi ( MENTOR ) - “iron sharpens iron” ; Gregory found him at a time when he needed guidance and a male figure to replace the whole left by the death of his father. The Venturi took him under his wing and gave him the sense of family Aiden thought he had lost. It wasn’t always easy, he wasn’t always patient or willing to follow in line, but with time, he worked his way to the top. He became the man Gregory always thought he could be. Gregory will never replace his own father, but he became a fatherly figure in his life, something he needed desperately.

♠ Maria Romano-Carter ( FRIEND ) - “we never really knew each other, did we?” ; If Aiden had any prejudice towards female fighters, Maria shattered them the first time he saw her in action. Fairly new to the underground fighting scene, he was eager to prove himself and when his ego took a beating, and him in the process, she was there to help him navigate this new world. Since then they’ve forged a friendship that might soon be tested. In this new era, Aiden is feeling the weight of his duty versus the affection he has for the woman.
