I am going to watch the Thai remake of Ossan's Love anyway because I watch everything regardless, but Thor is in glasses for it.

I do not care about anything else. This is the only marketing I need.

not a question but i'm losing my mind a little bit over airbender gojo.......in lok we learn that airbenders can unlock the ability to fly by severing all earthly tethers.....and what happened to gojo's tether? his one and only???? can he fly because he killed suguru? i'm not okay

that would be a good theory!!! if gojo was an airbender :3

cad would probably (maybe) be scared of laudna (on account of the undead fear he has), at least before learning her whole deal. but at least they can be their squads resident low blood pressure dizzy-spell sore floppy joints representation

#headcanon btw but its true to me #kiddo say #beau uses her monk reflexes to catch cad's head before he smashes his face on the inn table bc of the post-meal crash #he did it once and tmn were all like oh my god are you ok and he just sat up and blinked one eye at a time. ...get his ass to bed

TUVOKTOBER Day 2: Lunch Break [Interrupted]

#tuvoktober #bea art tag #1000% directly inspired by that post about how Tuvok should eat tupperwear salad like a teacher #It's so true!! He literally WAS a teacher !!!#he's listening to monks chanting - his favorite music bc he's a gd freak #It's SO his favorite that Neelix knows about it. I really wanna know how he knows.#Probably 'he just asked him' but funnier: They went on an away mission and he had monk chanting playing the whole time #Neelix: (internal) This is fucking hell on earth (positive spin) At least I know his favorite music!#Everyone whose been in an older relative's car as they blast choir music (the car is always SO hot) understands #it's torture but also it's kind of comforting??? it always makes me want to got to sleep #Tuvok seems like he eats salad without dressing (maybe a light drizzle of like lemon or vinegar on top) and looks down on people #who do otherwise <3 annooooying <3 #Janeway: (early in their knowing each other) Can I join you~? I'm also having a salad!#<- did this specifically to try & bond with him #Tuvok: -gazes pointedly at how much dressing she put on it- I could hardly tell.

I like when Monk talks about Trudy. He is truly in love with this woman and his expressions of love are for the small details he noticed about her all throughout their time together.

#the poem tree was sweet #playing pusic for her at her grave with his clarinet #and that one time he did it with Willie Nelson because she loved his music #so he loved it too #milehigh #mile high #monk usa #monk #tony shalhoub #adrian monk #sharona fleming #BREAD AND BUTTER #the poems that Trudy wrote in high school were about Monk and he reads them every night #its just the little things #the tiny details he loved about her #willow watches Monk

Stottlemonk Moments:

Monk s06ep16: "Mr. Monk Is on the Run: Part 2"

#stottlemonk #stottlemeyer x monk #monk season 6 ep 16 #mnk06 #i wish they went a bit more in depth about people being suspicious of how stottlemeyer was barely phased about killing monk #or more scenes with stottlemeyer trying to act devastated #the last time he thought monk died he had a total breakdown and threatened to quit his job if monk didn't get a full service funeral #and anytime monk is in danger he goes batshit #and now in this case not only did monk die.. he died by stottlemeyer's own hands #so by all accounts stottlemeyer should be acting way more broken up #but he barely grieves and is even still able to work normally #i feel like people would have thought that was very strange #randy and natalie especially have seen first hand how deeply monk and stottlemeyer care for each other #so i feel like they'd be asking way more questions or wouldnt have been fooled so easily or idk.. something like that #i know natalie says “this must be harder on you than anybody” but i need MORE depth #just rambling

I wanna know ur Fontaine msq criticisms 👁️👁️👂I’m all ears

I'm not sure if you wanted me to talk about this secretly or publicly but! Here I go!

The TLDR: Fontaine MSQ aestheticised prison, poverty, child abuse, the justice system/court and didn't properly address any of it.

More:

Focalors/Furina has way too much of a sympathetic angle for a dictator who's lets people drown with her inaction.

Neuvillette feels Bad for sentencing some people to death/prison, but that's it. He's one of the most powerful people in Fontaine. If he felt like there are systemic injustices, I.E sending an abused Child to prison, he should be the first person to DO something about it, not just cry and be sad so the audience can be like aw, that's complex character writing isn't it? No it's not! And guilt doesn't absolve you!!!!!!! (These are stuff we deal with in OTCOJ read my fic now /j)

Meropide has children in it, both Sentenced there (Wriothesley) and BORN THERE (Lanoire), and this is just a quirk of the place. Not only that, Meropide accepts prisoners of all genders and crimes. There are abusers and abuse victims in one place. Do you know how bad that is? How much potential for crimes to happen in a place like that— oh wait, Meropide isn't under Fontaine's jurisdiction. If you are assaulted as an inmate it literally means nothing to the court.

Wriothesley had no qualifications when he took over. Depending on how long he lived on the streets, how old he was when he killed his parents, how old he was when he was first taken in by the orphanage, etc, the man might never have more than 4–5 years of formal education. Sigewinne probably had to teach him how to write reports. And do Meropide's spreadsheets. Edit because I forgot to elaborate on this one: This isn't a point brought up anywhere, which is bad, because when poverty and incarceration robs you of a proper education (and the rights to vote in many places too, too, by the way), it reduces your prospects for jobs, reduces many people's ability to get a home etc etc. Wriothesley was just, narratively, Given his position.

Meropide is an industrialized prison, and they portray this as a good thing. Prisoners are paid in coupons for their labour, and this is also portrayed as a good thing.

The One-Meal-A-Day reform was something Paimon gushed about being so great of a perk, that people might want to go to jail for food (could be interesting and reflective of systemic poverty if MHY had brains, but they don't, so I was just Pissed because essentially all Paimon wanted to say was "Prison isn't so bad, but still don't go to prison guys! Prison labour is really hard!"). By the way, in most real-world prisons they are obligated to feed you three meals a day. Because that's how much food a human needs. MHY went with one meal just so they can say "if you want to eat more, you have to work." And then the welfare meal is a goddamn gacha. So imagine you're a starving child who's too weak to work in the fucking robot assembly line, and you wander up for your first meal in 24 hours, only to luck in with a shit one. I'd kill myself.

They wrote Wriothesley, who's a victim of the system, into a guy who's say shit like "I'm the Duke I can do whatever I want" for a cool moment where he choke-slams an inmate (I know he was a bad guy. But also, in copaganda when cops are violent/disregarding protocols, they are always only portrayed to do that against bad guys, so what does our critical thinking tells us about this one?) They wrote Wriothesley, who was an inmate of a prison so bad, so notorious that it is the literal boogeyman of Fontaine, that has a legal (???) fighting pit, with an administrator who abuses his position to be unreasonable, to willingly stay in the place and become an Administrator who would choke-slam an inmate while saying a cool line about how he has the power to do whatever he wants. They wrote him, the guy who had to be fed on the streets by melusines, to think one-meal-a-day was a good enough reform (while he spends god-knows how much on his boat). This wasn't a victim-turns-into-abuser narrative either, they want all this to be seen as positive character growth.

And then, the final kicker is, they gloss over his entire abuse. You can only read about these shit in his profile, which most people don't because they don't Have Him or doesn't care to unlock it/read it online, and they jammed his entire backstory into a flaccid info-dump at the end of his character story quest. This man isn't Allowed to feel abused and neglected and show any reaction to it within the narrative of Fontaine itself, because if they actually Gave Weight to what happened to him, they'd have to confront THE FUCKING JUSTICE SYSTEM they had NO PLANS on criticising. I don't think they ever explicitly said the fucking Crime-Theatre nonsense was Bad either.

I could go on, but this is already so long. But yeah, I hope this gave you an idea.

#and then. and im putting my most controversial opinion in the tags bc im scared lmao. but like... then... you have the fans..... doing......#the same fucking thing.#the amount of times I have seen Wriothesley used as just a side prop for Neuvillette to feel bad about shit. While Wriothesley is just.....#portrayed as having the inner peace and acceptance of a fucking monk. I was shocked when I read some fics I swear #they really said this man has no trauma at all! the stuff in his past? he's over it!#i hate that passivity when writing victims. like ok if One is written like that #sure. but MHY write all their victims like this #I mean look at fucking Lanoire #and Neuvillette sentenced him to prison after he killed his parents who were never confronted by the law. That's canon.#that's more canon than WRLT itself.#why weren't they confronted? did wriothesley try to talk to someone about it? why did he feel like killing them is his only option ?????#at least have there be some sort of conflict and friction there. How does Wriothesley feel about the court and Neuvillette when #this is the literal system that allowed all that shit to happen to him in the first place???#are you Sure he won't be at least a little wary? the fact that some people think he's Grateful to Neuvillette or even idolises him is crazy #because the man literally subjected him to prison. and if you want to portray his prison life as easy breezy and trauma free #you undermine his entire shitty little 'prison reform' narrative #and if you think he'd be completely 100% accepting of the justice system. Then why the fuck would he kill his parents himself #don't you see that the whole 'I'll accept whatever sentence in order to kill my parents' thing in itself is an act of defying the system #and I Hate #this idea. about being some of the most powerful men in the nation. and yet they can't fucking TRY to set up a better system or smth #i can't believe I read a fic where leaving starving street kids croissants is the most they (the characters and the writer) want to do #like. what the fuck. the whole point of that scene is just to make neuvillette feel bad and be like aw......... poor people exist.... OK???#this is literally how MHY would portray him though.... tbf..... This is what ppl would argue as 'in character'#I just think the character they're in is bad.#I will say I'm giving the fic a lot of grief. there's more to the scene than that. and. ultimately.....#fanfic is (saying this through gritted teeth) ........ recreational....................and free........... in the end.................#i dont think this is reflective of the writer. I do think it is reflective of the way the canon material (genshin impact)#presents in the audience who consumes it. most fans only want these guys to fuck anyway. not think about systemic injustices #canon doesn't make it about the systemic injustices either so why should we. the aesthetic of slums and prisons are just there for fun guys #IM JUST CRAZY OK. I SHOULDNT EVEN BE HERE THIS IS NOT FOR ME . I DONT CARE THAT MUCH FOR PEOPLE FUCKING AND I CARE TOO MUCH

dude I was looking through clips for a reference image and it literally makes me sick with anger that Genndy chose to portray Africa like That. Literally racist caricatures like come onnnn man. The worst part is that I really want to LIKE that episode aside from the art direction. His mentor is a very sweet guy and I like Jack’s little rivalry with the other kid. I dislike that Jack has to save everyone and the other tribe is portrayed even worse, but at least Jack isn’t fighting by his fucking self the whole scene. there was so much potential in this episode if Genndy hadn’t been so fucking racist with his character designs. I do not fucking understand why he chose to make them absolutely pitch black in color. That’s not what humans look like. It’s like how he colors Jack straight up yellow sometimes. I know during the time this came out it was not very likely for bigotry to get called out but that had to have made some people uncomfortable. Jeeeeesus Christ. The guy portrayed China more respectfully than he portrayed literally any other culture including Japan lmao. Actually I take that back he gave quite a few Chinese characters racist accents. The man wanted a ‘multiethnic’ feel to his show but could not fucking stop being white and racist for it

#samurai jack #I HAAAAATE ITTTT #I love the character of the African Chief I just can’t stand his fucking character design. you didn’t deserve that king #I say he didn’t portray Japan well bc he barely even did. it was like some hand wavey Vibe of Japan and nothing concrete #he at least bothered to portray Shaolin monks without just making them aggressively Chinese #Genndy straight up knew more abt China than he did Japan bc there are SO many times #where what Genndy thinks is a Japanese culture thing is more just him considering all East Asians the same #listen I love samurai jack but I think it got away with this a little too easily. I think Genndy should get some flak for that #that whole ‘great ancestors’ prayer is cool and all but Jack wouldn’t be praying to them like in fucking Mulan. that’s not his religion.#in Japanese culture you can and do pray to your ancestors but not like. in the middle of nowhere in battle?#it made for a cool moment to show Jack wasnt abandoned by his culture but it was. not even a little accurate LOL #I GGUESS the argument could be made Jack was just sending a little prayer up but it still felt. off #not even people in China prayed like that to nebulous ancestors in the sky LOL #it’s just kind of an orientalist thing. idk maybe Genndy pulled the idea from somewhere like most of his Jack scenes but #it’s not Japanese in nature LOL #I can see it coming from a Conan scene. a goood chunk of Jack was inspired by Conan #anyway. the most accurate fucking Japanese culture scene was when the Jack robot was praying to what he could scrounge up as a small shrine #and it WASNT EVEN REAL JACK.

"...Walsingham, the monastic author of the St. Albans Chronicle, was by far [Alice Perrers'] harshest contemporary critic, who in his venom has (somewhat ironically) left us with the longest and most detailed account of her background and personality, her influence as Edward’s mistress, and her subsequent trial. He describes Alice as a shameless lowborn meretrix (a word variously translated as mistress, whore, or harlot), who “brought almost universal dishonour upon the king’s reputation […] and defiled virtually the whole kingdom of England with her disgraceful insolence.” Although Walsingham was not always accurate and, specifically in this case, clearly heavily biased against Alice, he nevertheless provides a truly contemporary account, and his importance as a source should not be underestimated. Likewise, the anonymous monk of St. Mary’s York recorded that in the Good Parliament the Commons (represented by their speaker, Sir Peter de la Mare) stated that it “would be of great gain to the kingdom to remove the said dame [Alice] from the presence of the king both as a matter of conscious and of the ill prosecution of the war.” During the same assembly, the bishop of Rochester, Thomas Brinton, preached from St. Paul’s Cross that “it is not fitting nor safe for all the keys of the kingdom to hang from the belt of one wife.” Although the word wife (uxoris) is used, it is widely accepted that this is a reference to Alice.”

-Laura Tompkins, '"Edward III's Gold-Digging Mistress": Alice Perrers, Gender, and Financial Power at the English Royal Court, 1360-1377", "Women and Economic Power in Premodern Courts" (edited by Cathleen Sarti). Italics by me.

#alice perrers #historicwomendaily #my post #edward iii #@ anon who asked me how much faith should we put in Walsingham's account of Alice #Walsingham is undoubtedly vicious and prejudiced (and thus not always accurate - perhaps deliberately so) where Alice is concerned #But he is also a direct contemporary eyewitness and is thus invaluable as a source. His importance can never be emphasized enough.#More importantly however - the image of Alice as a transgressive woman with improper influence who 'hijacked' the kingdom #is not merely painted by Walsingham or limited to his account #It's how these other sources - the monk at St. Mary's and the Bishop of Rochester - depicted her as well #('it is not fitting nor safe for all the keys of the kingdom to hang from the belt of one wife' is pretty telling in more ways than one)#as did contemporary literature of the time like Chaucer's 'Wife of Bath' and William Langland's Lady Meed in 'Piers Plowman'#the whole point of the Good Parliament & the Parliament after Edward III's death was to simultaneously restrict her influence & punish her #So...I'd say Walsingham's image of Alice (unfortunately) tracks with how she was widely perceived at the time #Of course that doesn't mean that this image shouldn't be reassessed and recontextualized #Misogyny and classism very demonstrably played a huge role in how Alice was regarded by contemporaries #Ormrod has also pointed out that no matter the extent of Alice's influence she would ultimately always be limited by the practical #reality of being a woman and a commoner #'Her sex and status simply did not allow her the regular and acknowledged access to power enjoyed by politically ambitious male favourites'#It is not impossible that she was 'a symbol rather than a cause' of the crisis in Edward III's late reign #And of course it's true that WERE people who defended her publicly and privately even after Edward's death as Walsingham himself admits #She can't have been as universally detested as most people think #(we should also consider Walsingham's deriding comment about her 'seductiveness' ie: she was probably very witty and charismatic)#But ofc none of this change the fact that Walsingham's image of Alice's 'impropriety' transgressiveness was a widespread one #Nor does it change the fact that this image was fundamentally rooted in the very real and impressive power she had #Alice WAS proactive and acquisitive and wildly influential (Edward III listened to her over several of his own children ffs)#She DID have more power and visibility than any other royal mistress in medieval England #She DOES seem to have acted in ways that would have been perceived as 'inverting queenship'#*That's okay*. Alice's actions & image should absolutely be recontextualized and given more sympathy than they are #but I have absolutely no intention of diminishing or downplaying them either. That's why I love her so much.

I can physically feel the localizers fighting for their life on this one

#they did their best with the restrictions put on them from the original 2008 localization. they did their best #although i will say maybe this is just because im mixed race but i always thought there was an easy fix #when you have an old americanized localization and u later have to translate a very japanese story #but i feel like thomas yamada wouldnt be too out of place in fictional new york city aspicio #he could even have a japanese name given by his grandfather that he could ramble about the meaning #and jake could be mildly confused and the scene could still work i think. i dunno it think grandchild of japanese immigrants #and/or biracial american would work. although maybe they didnt want to add any implications about #the us's history with Japanese immigrants..... PLUS they were probably on a time crunch #and not being paid enough as most localizers are RIP #but sudhfkaifdjskifjd some of these later cases (i think the ones in ghost in thr dusk are the #last four phone stories released?) really leaned into the japanese setting #these poor localizers...they did their best #edit: wait like a chapter after this two random background characters were introduced with Japanese names #watanabe the one off lawyer and a side character buddhist monk named toko ....#i wonder why they couldnt make mr yancey here japanese american then.....#maybe some localization guidelines from 2008? or something like that

I don't know how to explain this but the versions of JTTW feels weird when the Tang Monk has the power to defend himself right, and whole reason he argues with Sun Wukong is he want to stay a pacifist and hes powerless when dealing with monsters on the journey

I kinda like the different interpretations!! Personally, I think that there are some versions that make it really exciting having Sanzang as a fighter or at least can defend himself as it changes the dynamics of the group a bit, just enough to make it where the audience can see the same character but with slightly altered roles!

I know that it goes against the OG narrative but I think it kinda leans more into that kinda area of 'what ifs' where the reason Sanzang has Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing isn't that he needs protection but rather he generally wants to help them on their redemption. I know that's never every take when it comes to a fighting Sazang trope but I think it adds another layer of having new dynamics without taking away Sanzang's core elements of wanting to help others and being compassionate. I don't think having a character that can defend himself takes away his values of valuing life. If done well I think that it can be interesting to see someone that doesn't like violence still have the view that they understand certain circumstances cannot be avoided. Like Sanzang doesn't want Wukong to kill but he also never tells them to fight either, just to show mercy on their enemies and never go overboard, especially when they are far weaker them the overpowered yaoguai.

Of course, they aren't accurate but that is the fun of re-marks like that, and I think if done well can still have Sanzang's core traits of seeing good in everyone while having a more playful twist of dynamics in a media.

.....I'm mostly talking about Westward 西行纪 BUT I JUST LOVE THE CRAZINESS OF IT ALL! I'm not here for power structures, I'm here for character-driven narratives.

This Sanzang BENCH PRESSES demons, everyone else is just there for show. HE ALREADY GOT WARPED AROUND HIS FISTS HE READY.

What I'm trying to say it, I think if done right, it could be a really fun concept to play with but understandable if they just make him just a fighter and not a monk. A good "What if he was a Warrior Monk" but don't just make him a fighter.

#anonymous #anon #anon ask #jttw #journey to the west #xiyouji #tang sanzang #monk tripitaka #I can't help but enjoy when some media goes way different while still keeping the core traits of a character #I think that is a hard thing to sell considering that the characters are so set in their dynamics #But I'm not going to say it CAN'T be done well as I've seen it done a few good time in some media #one movie I saw had Sanzang with a huge back tattoo that was the suntras so that it was a last line of defense from demons trying to eat hi #honesly that was kinda badass #Another is where he like trying exorcise demons in conquering the demons where he can just do what Buddha did and just SLAM it down on them #It doesn't count as violence if it's a Buddha palm lmao it's insane #might just be my love for more bizarre but as long as the characters and story is good #ask

one day I'll write the actual fic I have in mind about how Ari completely ruins Ulfric's life with one simple action (handing him the Thalmor dossier on himself while Elenwen, across the table, threatens Ari with ratting him out to his father) and the aftermath (Ulfric ultimately stepping down as Jarl while he readjusts his entire worldview, attempts to start a normal, civilian life, and grapples with the fact that he'd unintentionally been doing the dirty work for the people he thought he was fighting against) but for now i will sit with these brainworms I have of Ari just seeing this miserable nord man's life crumble and knowing that ruining his life was the best thing to happen in this situation

#i know ulfric is a very divisive character. but he and ari share the trait of being manipulated by the thalmor #and ari feels so much pity for him. and ari is also the type to always offer a second chance because *he* got one #and he'd rather see ulfric own up to his mistakes and contemplate what he did #than just kill him outright #and hey. possible storyline outcome where Ulfric becomes a greybeard #as a parallel to Ari and the Blades #wild concept but also. after he loses everything and has to reshape his entire outlook. what better option than to become a monk #and be forced into silence to contemplate and reflect on his actions #in the same way Paarthurnax does?#plus something something vow of silence paralleling the fact that he was silenced in helgen #only this time it's voluntary rather than forced on him #i know i said forced before but #wording. not gonna bother editing tags

I want you to be happy'. how I screamed.#and when he said that father's not with them anymore his eyes seem tearing up a little...just kill me pls #he swallowed and his adam's apple rolling..ughhhhh #also the last one he stared at sadaijin-sama's hand for a beat #I wonder if he ever thought about how he didn't get to do this with Kaneie😔#bc kaneie is that kind of fucking domineering guy who valued vanity & dignity too much to die as an ordinary man #the archery scene is A++#and I feel like he's sort of back to being Saburo after that scene like. saying it was childish to beef with his nephew #this is such a Saburo thing to say. something harmless and self-mocking. sometimes white lies #but dude you're dark as fuck. the last shot w the 'I'm gonna be Kanpaku' statement? scare the shit out of me #I'm gLAD michitaka stopped him😱#anyway they're just two dark souls atp #michikane wants to kill his older brother and michinaga's gonna keep him on a leash and let him be the fall guy like kaneie told him to #man...dairi is so fucked up. hardest place to survive #I get that it's the same with the forbidden city in my culture but still. this is way too dark #p.s. the 9th one's funny to me bc Tasuku-san's knuckles...like those are boxing knuckles! so out of time & place😂#(kaneie's out there somewhere in the stars and I still can't stop talking about him lol. I miss him :( )#(do I even believe that he's up not down? maybe. he did become a monk b4 he died.)#I've no problem with heavy power intrigue plots tho I've seen Tasuku implying his scenes lately were all about power struggles in dairi #I mean I do care about the mahiro storyline but the godfather -ish shit is just better

Omi: Oh no! I'm lost in a big city again! How can I find my friends? Omi: (comes up with an idea) Omi: Well, It doesn't matter because now I have this map! And reading maps is similar to reading scrolls! And reading scrolls is my tup of coffee! Raimundo: (pushing away the crowd) It's a 'cup of tea', Omi! TEA! Clay, Jermaine and Kimiko coming from the other city alley: Yes, you had in mind 'a cup of tea'. Omi: Hurray! Found you! :D Jack, coming from the opposite direction: Sorry for being late for our 'let's correct cheeseball session'. Let me add something. Ehem. (coughs dramatically and then he becomes slightly irritated) Geez, Omi! I told you this phrase is used when you want to express that you are good at something! It's 'tea', not 'coffee'. Why can't you memorize it, goddamn? It's like talking to a brick wall! everyone looks unimpressed* Kimiko: Are you finished? Jack: .... yeah, I guess? Clay: Alright, that sounds like permission to whoop your butt. Jack: Hey! I'm on vacation, give me a break! Omi: I just wanted to say, I know I said this sentence wrong! I did a mistake on purpose so you can find me more easily! Kimiko: haha that's funny! You're getting better at joking, Omi! Jermaine, finger gunning Omi: You almost had me there, my homie! Jack: Yeah, sure. And I'm the princess, baldy. Clay: Well, you tried! You were close this time! Raimundo: No need to lie, little dude. You'll get better at it one day. Omi: (proceeds to be mad at his friends because they don't believe him)

Later:

Omi: Jack Spicer, are you really a princess or are you pulling my arm?

Jack Spicer, contemplating over what approach should he take with Omi: Of course, I'm a princess of the hidden island on the Atlantic Ocean. My parents bought me one for my birthday! I'm building my palace there so soon I'm moving my evil lair there.

Omi: Oh, that's amazing! Can I come for a visit once the palace is ready?

Jack, flabbergasted: .... Jermaine, why aren't you teaching him how to understand SARCASM?

Jermaine: Then why are you pulling his arm, all the time!?

Jack, angry: I'm pulling his leg, not his arm!

Omi: oh, that's funny. I don't feel anything on my leg. You're lying to us again, Spicer!

Jack, trying to collect himself: Why are you both this way?

Jermaine: I just love messing with you.

Clay, to break off the silence: You better have nice food in your new lair, your highness.

Kimiko: If you want new dresses I can help you with ordering them.

Raimundo, laughing loudly: heh, be sure to install as many locks as possible in your princess castle, because some robbers like me can break in!

Omi: Raimundo! Jack's parents, that is Miss Queen and Mr. King won't be happy with that!

Jack: I hate all of you.

That's what homies do #that's so sweet of jack to step in and correct Omi as well. he did that out of pettiness and adoration!#jack spicer #clay bailey #jermaine thompson #jermaine #kimiko tohomiko #raimundo pedrosa #jack's sarcasm backfired at him lol
