Carisi’s Wedding, part 1.

This will be a two parts things don’t worry! I really hope you enjoy it!! ❤️

“Hi dolly, how u doing? I’d like to call soon, tell me when it’s possible? Sooner the better, please. Take care!”

You have been in Japan for about 3 months now, for work. You barely had news from your best friend-ex-first love Dominick Carisi Jr so you knew this was important. You texted back through WhatsApp to let him know that you can take a break right now if he wanted. You are a customizer, makeup artist in movies, series and also theater, since you are 20 years old. You kept traveling since then, which prevent you from having a real life, especially not a serious relationship. This is actually the only reason you aren’t married to Dominick right now.

It was 10pm in Osaka, Japan so it was 8am in New York. Shortly after you texted him, Dominick called you.

“Hello Junior,” you smiled through the phone. You heard him laugh. Only you always called him Junior.

“Hi dolly. How’s Japan?”

“Exhauting but wonderful. Still on set right now actually,” you said as you watched over you, seeing the set, the staff, the actors. Your job, your love. “How things in New York?”

“Good, good. Uhm...” he stopped. He had something to say but couldn’t figure it out how to say it.

“What’s going on, Dominick?”

“Would it be possible for you to come home for a few days in a month?” he finally asked.

“Depends on why- why?”

“My wedding.”

When those words came to your ears, your heart stopped. Your legs gave up on you. You had to sit on the ground, in the middle of nowhere. Your first love, the only one you ever loved is getting married. Not with you. You knew he was dating that girl the last time you came to New York. He looked happy and in love but how could you imagine him getting married to her? Or any other girl? And he is invited you to see that. To see your Dominick giving his vows to someone else.

“Y/N? You still there?”

“Y-y-yes. Uhm, I’m not sure I- can take a few days- off,” you did your best to hold your tears and breath normally. But Dominick knows you better than anyone.

“I want you with me, Y/N. I know it’s kinda irrational, surely weird to ask for your presence. But- I can’t imagine that day without you,” you could hear in his voice it was hard for him too.

“Can I have a few days to think about it?”

“Sure. I need an answer before next Friday if that’s okay to you?”

“Will do my best, Dominick. I’ve got to go, bye.”

You didn’t want to sound mad to him but you couldn’t take it anymore. When you hang up, your broke down in tears, right there on the ground, in the middle of a foreign country. Did you make good decisions in your life? Are you where you want to be? You aren’t sure about anything right now.

After you built yourself up, you had to call Rafael. He became your friend when you met him a few months ago.

After spending five months in California, you were back in town. You expected to rest at your family house with your dad but when you got into your bedroom, you were surprised how it looked. Your father’s new girlfriend and her kids moved in. Her teenage daughter literally moved in your room. You needed a place to stay for a few weeks, that’s why you went to Dominick’s work place. He was surprised to see you but always happy.

“Can I take you out for lunch?” You asked, happy to be around him again.

“Huh, I can’t right now. Raincheck?”

“Yeah sure. Tell me when,” you tried not to look disappointed.

“Will call you, okay?”

“Alright. But can I ask something quickly?”

“Always, tell me?”

“Do you mind if I stay at your place a few days? Dad literally threw me out.”

“Gosh, seriously?” Dominick nervously rubbed the back of his head. “I don’t think it’s a good idea, Y/N-“ you looked at him, confused. It never was a bad idea before. What did change? “I have someone. And accommodating my ex wouldn’t be nice. Especially you, ya know?”

Of course you know. Every time you are in town, the two of you end up together. Like a real couple. Do things together, go on dates, you stay at his place, have pretty good sex. He was your first, when you were 17. Your dad hired him when he was a student to help you with school. You fell in love the first hour with that tall blond and blue eyed student. Since then, you never stopped loving him and neither did he, but life chose different things for you. You kept traveling for you work and you are at least four months by year in New York. That’s not how a relationship can work and you both agreed on this. So you stayed friends. Best friends, but who keeps going back together like magnet. It happens every time. But not this one, apparently. You agreed and sadly walked out of the precinct. But when you turned in the hallway, you literally walked through someone and splitted his coffee all over his suit. Embarrassed like you never were before by his look, you apologized about 10 times.

“Officer, give that to Lieutenant Benson for me.” The dark haired man handed something to that officer.

“Going to do it right now, counselor,” the officer smiled. Damn, a lawyer. You probably ruined his day and it was just noon.

“Is there something I can do?” You asked, still embarrassed. “Buy you a new one? Drive you somewhere?”

“My shirt cost more than your entire dressing. But yeah, you can drive me to my office, before I get ridiculous in front of everyone.”

You were impressed by this man at first, but when you got stuck in the traffic on the way to the courthouse, you started to feel better around him. Finally, you gave him a sweater so the two of you could lunch in a nice restaurant. And by the end of the meal, you found a place to stay. Rafael’s apartment. You stayed his roommate for two months after that, which made Dominick pretty jealous and mad. But you were dating Rafael unlike him, who was dating some girl.

“Hola guapa,” Rafael answered.

“Rafi, why didn’t you tell me?”

“Carisi called you.”

“Damn right he did. And guess my surprise.”

“I know. Things got pretty quick here and I thought it was better for you to hear it from him,” Rafael was right and you weren’t mad at him. But mad at yourself, at Dominick, at her, at life.

“He wants me to be at his wedding, how can I do that?”

“Listen, whatever you choose, I’ll be there, next to you. You know that, right?” You found comfort in his voice.

“I know but- Rafa, it’s him. And- They aren’t even dating for over a year.”

“Yeah but the baby speed up everything” Your heart stopped a second time.

“The-the baby?” You almost yelled through the phone.

“Damn it,” Rafael sighed. “He didn’t mention that part, apparently,”

“Fuck no! He didn’t!”

“I’m sorry, y/n”

“I’ve got to go Rafael,”

You hang up again. And cried even more. Wedding and a baby. This was supposed to be you. To be your life.

A few days after, you texted Dominick to let him know that you couldn’t be there for his wedding because of work. It was a lie. You just couldn’t stand that idea. Him getting married and having a kid. Unfortunately, this answer were not accepted. Dominick called. His sisters too. Even his ma. They all begged you to come. So you did.

“Promise me you won’t let my hand go,” you said to Rafael as the two of you were having a drink at his place. The wedding is tomorrow, you are staying at Rafael’s apartment and you didn’t see Dominick yet. You were too scared about your reaction.

Rafael took your hand in his large one and squeezed it. “I promise, I’ll be your shadow.” You put your head on his shoulder and hold his arm.

“I want him to be happy, you know?”

“I know. I’ve been there before.”

“Yeah, and you never had a serious relationship since then. Not a pleasant perspective.”

“I just didn’t want to. But if you want to, you’ll find someone to marry,”

“Ew. I don’t want to date. I don’t want to fall in love again.”

Rafael moved to the side to make you facing him. He put his hands on your cheeks and locked his eyes in yours.

“I felt the same way, y/n. And look at me right now. I’m a lonely lawyer, my job is everything to me. I’m cynical, a sarcastic pain in the ass. I should have fight. Fight against myself, against my feelings, my fears. Because right now, I don’t even remember what it is to love and be loved. And damn, it’s hard to leave that way. Don’t do the same mistake,” Rafael never opened himself like this before, with anyone. Since you two met, he felt like he was facing his girl twin. You’ve been through same stuff, your reactions are the same, you think the same way.

“Can I ask something?”

“Sure.” He let go your face and took his glass to drink.

“Did you ever love someone else after Yelina? I mean, even if nothing happen. Did you love someone else since your heart broke?”

Rafael nervously laughed in his glass. “I did,” he confessed.

“And why aren’t you dating her? Did you try something?”

“We got pretty close, we still are actually. But her heart belongs to someone else, and I don’t want to lose her, so I keep that for myself.”

“So she’s still in your life, right?”

“Yup, and I want her to stay in it.”

“So, you are asking me to keep fighting and not giving up while you gave up yourself. It’s what, do what I say, not what I do?”

Rafael laughed. That’s exactly what it is. “And what? You want me to tell that girl I love her? That I miss her when she is away? That I wish she loved me the way she loves her ex? That when she is next to me, I just want to hold her, kiss her, comfort her, make her feel safe?” His eyes were deeply looking into yours. “Not going to happen.”

“Why not, Rafael?”

“Not to have my heart broken another time?” He raised an eyebrow.

“Here we are. I don’t want either.”

The bottle of scotch you opened two hours ago was already empty, so Rafael got up to get another one. He poured himself a drink and another one for you. “To us. Broken souls,” you raised your glass and cheered with him.

By the end of the night, you and Rafael were definitely drunk. Dominick tried to call you a few times but you shut it down every time. You didn’t want to hear from him, to hear about his wedding tomorrow. Alcohol and Rafael made you feel good. It was ephemeral of course but you didn’t care. You didn’t care about anything. That’s exactly why you end up deeply kissing Rafael. He was as drunk as you and didn’t want to push you away, because he dreamt about it so many times. His living room quickly became a mess, with empty bottles and glasses, clothes everywhere and two naked body having sex right on the carpet. That’s also how you and Rafael fell asleep. Right here on the floor, in the middle of his apartment with just a blanket over your two drunk and naked bodies.

Ney has always been cheesy so I expect him to be like this but it's her that's got me confused.You can't keep telling the media and your fans you want your private life to be private and turn around and do the opposite.I have a feeling she going to get a huge backlash from this.

Mwaaah. For her to get a backlash you would have to have a big celeb journalist to say something about it. Whether in a showbizz show or column.

I presume she’s too powerful to do so, so they won’t. You know just like how media protected Taylor S. for so long, but now arent afraid to critic her anymore.

Anonymous said:BRUMAR ARE RELATIONSHIPGOALS 😂 like it must be so romantic to sit next to your bf everyday to watch him play videogames and poker… #feelmysarcasm

HAHAHA. Fuck Netflix and chill this is #SomeShootingGameHesPlaying24/7 and chill.

I think seeing him play FIFA - or PES in his case - would be way more fun, but ok.

Anonymous said:In that video after the computer screen I was expecting to see jo and the other guys playing not hear somebody kissing like that what makes it worse is that gave me a flashback to brunas sex scene then it really made me sick. It’s not jealousy at all

Indeed more like sick. But maybe that’s also because I just ate and saw Rafa’s wound photo first when I opened Tumblr. And Ney’s vid first when I opened my Insta -_-…

HAHAH, and thank god it didnt reming me of that!!!

Anonymous said:They are that typical annoying couple who overshare for what?? Validation?? lol

trololol. I have no idea, but it’s extra haha. Anonymous said:I thought Miss Bruna wanted “privacy” the thirst and Hypocrisy is real

True.

Anonymous said:Not sure which made me more sick rafas cut or brumar in the instastory like that is just soooo unnecessary. Like play your videogame and even if u want to have her Hover over U n kiss u we don’t care to see it. But I guess that’s what a private relationship means nowadays

Hahahah, That last line. I see you sippin’ that tea haha. The sounds is more yuk to me xD.

Anonymous said:Omgggggggg that pic actually made my stomach turn. If I saw a cut like that I would of assumed it was costume makeup. That looks so painful. Will he be fine with stitches or were there other injury

It’s so freaking nasty. And I think you can also see his flesh or something, but I can’t look at it too long without feeling sick tbh.

Anonymous said:i get some people don’t like bruna but having a go at her for flying? do people really expect her to bike all the way to Barca or something? she pays for those tickets herself with the money she earns and ‘the parties’ she attends are part of her job.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bike her way to Barca hahaha. I think that last party was more for fun tho than promo.

Anonymous said:No offense but bruna is losing credibility as an actress from this new brumar that she worked her life for. People may remember her in Brazil for Beatriz but now she is just becoming neymars girlfriend who models. That’s what she’s called by Barca wag pages. With an engagement she may think she will be going international but everyone will just think she’s a model on insta using an athlete to get a job. Her credibility from Brazil actress is losing meaning in a way if u get what I mean

I don’t really get what you mean tbh. But I think she will just be titled as Neymar’s girlfriend an actress in Brazil.

Anonymous said:Did you see this video that ney posted a few minutes ago They are kissing and then she complains about girls stalking them..what the fuck is wrong with her😂

They’re in love and clearly wanna share xD.

Entry 059 - Ink

Name: Eric Gitter

Code Names: Ink

First Appearance: Young X-Men #1 (June ’08)

Powers: Causes sickness, super strength, telepathy, flight, causes explosions, healing, tap into Phoenix-like energies

Teams Affiliation: X-Men

About

There is power in a symbol. It’s a concept that’s at the center of almost every Big 2 superhero story. Criminals, being the cowardly and superstitious lot that they are, learn to fear the idea of the Bat even when the light isn’t shining. A red exclamation point warns someone of potential danger. In recent months, a simple safety pin has become iconic with tolerance and support. These images mean something, the effect someone deeper than just words on a page. There is a guttural impact to seeing them and they can transcend borders and languages. Writer Mark Guggenheim tapped into that concept with his Young X-Men and turned the symbolic power quite literal.

Portrayed by Gregg Lowe in X-Men: Days of Future Past

Eric Gitter was a punk in SoCal, he jacked cars and forgot the consequences. He was getting fresh ink from his boy Leon when those consequences caught up to him. Two officers walked in and began reading him his Miranda Rights, but Eric had different ideas. He reached out with his right palm, tatted up with a biohazard symbol and one of the officers fell to his knees, spreading his lunch on the dirty floor of the tattoo parlor. Eric gloated but his face quickly met the same floor when the other officer took him down. He sat in his cell when an offer came his way. Cyclops made bail for the kid and had a plan. In the wake of the Messiah CompleX he needed new X-Men and Ink was exactly what he was looking for.

Art by Yanick Paquette, Ray Snyder, and Rob Schwager

Sunspot had used his position as Lord Cardinal of the Hellfire Club to form a new Brotherhood with his former New Mutants teammates, and Cyclops wasn’t willing to see that happen. He had Ink train alongside the other young X-Men and they showed promise. When it came time for the initial assault, Ink was paired up with the precognitive Blindfold and the two succeeded in taking down Dani Moonstar, but the surprises didn’t end there. Ink betrayed his partner and knocked Blindfold out cold.

Art by Yanick Paquette, Ray Snyder, and Rob Schwager

Ink shuffled the unconscious women to the X-Jet and dropped them off to his mysterious benefactor. The man, obscured in shadows save his petticoat, commended Ink on a job well done, but the thug shrugged it off. He wasn’t going to become a killer, but he didn’t have any love for the mutant cause. He reported back to Cyclops saying Dani was too much for them and took Blindfold hostage. To stay undercover, Eric needed more fire power and returned to his buddy Leon for some new ink. Leon took his inspiration right off a copy of X-Men #27 and Eric gained the abilities of telepathy and flight. He returned to train undercover and participated on the assault of the Hellfire Club. Sunspot and Cannonball held off the kids until the mutant Graymalkin broke up the fight with disturbing news. The Cyclops they thought they knew was actual the cyborg Donald Pierce in disguise. The teams joined forces to stop Pierce and Ink had a change of heart and led the mutants to him.

Art by Yanick Paquette, Ray Snyder, and Rob Schwager

The former New Mutants confronted Eric for his role in the conspiracy and he owned up to his involvement. Roberto wanted blood but Sam held him back, after all it was the same thing that happened to Canonball. Rockslide was less willing to forgive him and threatened to keep him in line. Still, getting a second chance was enough for Ink to want to change. He apologized to Blindfold and dedicated himself to training with the X-Men.

Art by Ben Oliver and Jose Villarrubia

Ink knew there was still a witch hunt when Rockslide dedicated himself to figuring out which of the young X-Men was not a mutant. On a mission battling a Krakoa, the truth came out about, Eric Gitter was one hundred percent human. His powers came from Leon, his mutant tattoo artist, and the revelation was enough for him to leave the team. Drunk and shuffling through the city, Ink was attacked by anti-mutant bigots and the irony was not lost on him. What was lost on him was the concept that he wasn’t Leon’s only client. The secret X-Man that no one knew about, Cipher (who, yes, is different from Cypher and somehow infinitely worse) made him aware of the fact and recruited him to fight the tattoo powered gangbangers that had started calling themselves the Y-Men. Ink held Leon up and made him explain what had happened, and after that made him tat up the supercharge Eric needed.

Art by Rafa Sandoval, Roger Martinez, and Jose Villarrubia

Surprising everyone, Eric had a plan. On his left palm, he got The Caduceus, the symbol of healing, and over his right eye the Phoenix raptor. He and Cipher rushed to the X-Men’s side and quickly turned the tide in the battle. Using an approximation of the powers of the Phoenix, Eric depowered the Y-Men and saved the young X-Men. He had proved his worth and rejoined the students in San Francisco. Ink hasn’t been around much after that, he participated in the riots during Utopia and he followed the X-Men back to Westchester after the Schism but was rarely even used as wallpaper. He is still around, I guess, and with Mark Guggenheim writing X-Men: Gold this Spring I bet we see him sooner rather than later.

Must Read

Ink has been in twelve issues of Young X-Men and a cameo in Guggie’s adjectiveless arc, ain’t none of those a must read. It is a series with a lot great ideas that are poorly executed. It also suffered from being a very different book after the first arc and not really finding good footing after that. So instead let’s just all watch this clip from X-Men: Days of Future Past where you just get Ink’s whole deal in a second. It actually highlights one of the strengths of the X-Men films, the willingness to combine fan service with unique action pieces. So let’s enjoy all the best seconds of Ink in existence.

Ranking

If it didn’t come through in my writing, I am not Ink’s biggest fan. He is a character with a fabulous high concept but without a strong characterization to hold himself up. He is an intentionally unlikable character who never gets a chance to win the audience over. This isn’t helped by giving him Phoenix adjacent abilities without the good will from fans to properly wield them (see also Korvus). I think the right writer could turn him into a really unique character, but they would have an uphill battle ahead of them. He drops below the dreaded Northstar line, the divider between characters I don’t care about and characters I actively dislike. As I start to look down this list, he meets some stiff competition in Squid-Boy, the last character I refused to recommend an actual comic for, but Sammy has a better arc. I think a one-note nothing villain like The X-Cutioner is probably worse than him but, as much as it pains me to say this, I’d rather see X-Man again. That’s why Ink will be the new number 56 in the Xavier Files.

Ink was requested by /u/kaidumo and /u/TheSnooinhiver from Reddit. Thanks for the request and sorry that I am not a fan! If you have a request just submit it at the bottom of this article and I will add it to the list that currently stretches into July 2018! If you want to cut to the front of the line, like our new backer Scott, we have a Patreon if you want to support it and get a line cutting reward for just a $1 pledge. We just hit our 2nd goal and now I guess I am reviewing X-Books so that will be coming soon. Oh and we also have exclusive physical items so check those out!
