#i doubt simon would have wanted his support but thats not the point

[misfithive]

I know people say that Micke’s absence in s2 is a plot hole but honestly i think its so fitting that when Simon is going through one of the worst things in his life Micke is completely absent. Like your son was the victim of a crime (which was also s*xual violence btw) his face is plastered all over the media, they live in a small town so there is no way he doesn’t know. Yet Micke is absent again. Which is the whole point.

girlfriend, i love how we jumped straight to marriage with mechanic!Simon but I'd love to know a bit more about the phase before he managed to lock down his girl for good.

What if, her ex comes looking for her? Some prim and proper, sleek wolf of wallstreet business typa guy appears at Price's Body Shop, recognizing her car and asking about her. No idea how he found her because he usually doesn't go into these parts of town, maybe someone saw her car, maybe she forgot to turn off / delete her location app.

Sees her at the shop and tells her to come home, this part of town is no place for her, he's sorry, the other woman didn't mean anything, he wasn't serious about kicking her out, whatever, you know the drill.

She's not impressed, unfazed, cool as a cucumber because her mind is filled with her new boy toy mechanic!Simon and she keeps drifting off to last night's memory 🤭

Listen, I love a woman who stands up for herself but you really can't expect your possessive new self proclaimed boyfriend and his crew to watch silently while your ex is trying sweet talk and win you back right in front of them, right?

Also, why is Simon being so weird after? There is nothing to worry about, she thinks he's perfect and exactly what she never knew she wanted. I guess she needs to prove it to him by taking matters into her own mouth hands 🤭🤭 pamper him like no one before

Foaming at the mouth at this ask, I wrote the marriage ask before I got to this one because I really wanted to drive home how fast he preposes, but I would love to elaborate about your relationship before he preposes, you’re in a very valuable position and absolutely cling to him for support :((((( it did change a couple of small things to help the story flow better, I hope you don’t mind ;)

Si knows from the start that you're the one :((( you guys act like you've been together since high school even though you've only know each other for a couple weeks :33333 But when your friends start calling, begging you to come back home? telling you that Si is manipulative and a bad guy that's taken advantage of your venerable state >:( of course he gets insecure :((( then your ex shows up?? a man that's the complete opposite of Si, he really starts to doubt himself :((((( lucky you can show him just how much you appreciate him with that mouth of yours ;))))

tw: loosing friends, controlling ex, possessive!Simon, insecure!Simon, sub!Simon (kinda?), insinuated violence, a lot of lore in this one??? so like porn with a plot??, smut, blowjob, face fucking, deep throating, L bomb (like twice??), talk of reader submitting to Si, there's just a lot going on tbh but baby...you're a giver and THATS for sure, basically you're just looking after your mannnnn and he loves you for it

Mechanic!Simon masterlist

Regular masterlist

Obviously your friends call after they hear you broke up with your ex, they can’t find you anywhere and start freaking the fuck out! they love you so much and they’re scared shitless!!!

They only found out you were even missing because you didn’t turn up to brunch on Thursday :((

They called you, and of course you didn’t answer….you were busy ;)))

That obviously raised some alarm bells for everyone straight away, so their next point of contact was obviously your ex!!

Then the reality hit…. You had been missing since Monday night, he kicked you out after a bad fight and nobody had been able to get in contact with you……

Everyone obviously thinks worst case scenario. Car crash, kidnapping,…. maybe you ran away, or god forbid, something worse, maybe you weren’t even alive anymore, I mean, its been fucking days!!!

If someone were to have taken you, you could be out of the country by now, your body could already be decomposing somewhere never to be seen again, maybe they could have saved you if they new sooner :(((( got you the medical attention you needed before you succumb to your injuries…

Obviously everyone is going wild back home, freaking out and doing everything in their power to get in some kind of contact with you. 

But no ;))))

As your phone buzzed and pinged with messages, vibrating on Si’s bedside table as he held your naked frame against his broad chest :3333

You were fine, more then fine actually :))))

“Don’t worry about tha’ baby, answer it later they’ll be fine” Si’s morning voice muffled into your hair, strong arms tightening his grip around your waist and his hard cock pressed up against your bare arse ;))

A couple days after Si saved you and towed your car, everything that happened hit you like a ton of bricks. You were kinda disoriented and fuzzy, still a little shaken by the experience and hadn’t really processed that you were in fact living with Simon now….

The warm feeling of toned arms wrapped around you and a hard chest against your back didn’t register it first….. but you never protested :333

Droopy eyelids snapping open ungodly wide when it all hit you :( like, holy shit, there was no way you’re actually doing this, there is no way you fucked a random mechanic, let him take you home, fell asleep in his bed and then just never left????…. that’s batshit crazy behaviour! 

What made it even more jarring was from day one, when Si stirred awake he’d simply pulling you closer and kiss your temple like he’d been married to you for 30 years :3

There was no awkward small talk, no “you’ve overstayed your welcome now, i’ll drive you to a motel” or “what time do you think you’ll call a cab”, a simple kiss and a “how’d ya’ sleep princess” deep and groggy, a smirk on his lips as he kissed the back of your neck :)))

Your body relaxed instantly, for a man so big, there was a certain gentleness about him, a protective and calming aura he carried so effortlessly, you truly felt comfortable here…. It was such a strange experience but the idea of leaving his bed made you wince :(((

Even the morning routine you quickly created was natural!!

The tea and coffee lived on the top shelf of the cupboard, sitting at his two seater dining table Si happily watched your cute little arse poke out the bottom of his shirt :))) you had to hop a little bit to bring the tins forward, but all he could focus on was your bum and thighs jiggling >:((

He absolutely didn’t strategically place everything a shelf higher so he could see you do this exact thing the every morning….:333333

He was running unbelievably late for work but he couldn’t care less, the whole morning was filled with quick pecks and giddy smiles. From an outsiders prospective, nobody could guess you met a couple days ago :)))) 

Holding your waist as you make his lunch for him :)))) following every instruction perfectly :))))

Whispering “good girl” into your ear and kissing your neck gently as you pack his meal into his work bag, fat cock flush against your arse still concealed in his thick work pants, grinding slowly only relieving him slightly >:(

He wanted nothing more then to take you then and there, but the idea of you having to wait around for the rest of the day :((( thighs rubbing together and needy for him was wayyyy more appealing to come home to :( his such a meany

Leaving £100 on the kitchen counter for you, kissing you before he leaves, whispering into your lips to treat yourself :((

“You’ve had a long couple days sweethear’, get ya’ nails done for me, yeah? Get em’ pink or somthin’, okay?”

Obviously you’re memorised by this man at this point… how could you not be? 

 Agreeing with a slow nod and stars in your eyes as he kisses your nose 

Nobody had ever looked at him like that before….

“That’s ma’ girl, i’ll be home by six”

When he finally rocked up at work, Price was pissed beyond belief, Gaz was working on multiple cars at a time due to his absence and Johnny looked like he could kill him as he sat in Si’s office, a line of annoyed customers leading outside the shop.

Soap new absolutely nothing about quotes and insurance claims and all this other bullshit that Simon dealt with as the manager.

Gaz had a hundred questions for him about what he suggested for certain repairs, it was pure chaos!! 

But Si couldn’t find it in himself to be stressed, walking into the shop with a shit eating grin, completely bricked up and care free :))))

He’d never been happier then in that moment. 

But I want to fast forward to when your friends finally got a hold of you a week after you went missing….

It was the strangest surprise as well as their biggest relief when you answer. 

You were completely fine, they could basically hear you smile through the phone……

You started banging on about how you met this amazing guy named Simon, how his a super gifted mechanic, a complete gentleman and how you’re both deeply in love and never been happier!!

Reassuring them that you’re absolutely fine, better then fine actually, you’re safe and loved and don’t plan on ever going back home 

And all your girls are like 

“Babe….you can’t be serious right now? You’re not in love, you’ve been gone a week! And did you say you moved in with him!? A fucking mechanic!? Have you lost your fucking mind??? What about your job??? What about the entire fucking life you built here?!!!”

And 

“That’s it, give me the address right now, we are coming to get you immediately. You’re coming home and never talking to this weird fucking Simon guy ever again. Got it?” 

Of course they don’t understand:((((( why would they!?

You’ve finally found your person, it doesn’t matter if you have known Si for a week or a thousand weeks. You’re not fucking leaving!

This courses massiveeeee tension in you’re now ex friendship group. 

Half your girls think they should cut you off immediately, staying friends with you only means supporting the relationship and that’s something they’re absolutely not going to do >:(((

The other half think its important to keep in contact with you, they want to be there when you finally “come to your senses” and “need an out”, whatever that means :/….they even insisted on meeting Simon, just to sus out the situation and see what’s really going on, but of course you deny. 

Some even try to convince you that your ex was way better for you then Si:((((( how everyone thought you would end up getting married eventually, how there’s still time to realise you’ve made a mistake, that your ex was more then willing to take you back and everything would go back to normal!!! 

“Babe, this Simon guy is manipulative, okay? You’re emotional and vulnerable right now and his latched onto that knowing you’re going to cling to him for support. His taking advantage of you babe! I know you think you’re in love and that he says all the right things but its an act! Hello? Are you there? Can you fucking hear me!!??’

They’re just trying to ruin everything though >>:(((((( 

Your friends never saw how your ex treated you behind closed doors and they could never understand the connection you and Simon had :(

When Si came home from work to you wrapped up in a blanket and crying on the sofa, he was ready to kill whoever caused you so much pain….when he found out it was actually your friends, his heart ached for his poor girl :(((

“Listen to me petal, look me in the eyes, you don’ owe them anythin’, they jus’ don’t understand, alrigh’ don’t cry baby, come on” 

Wrapping his big musealy arms, covering you in his post work sweat and musk as you cling to his oily work shirt :((((

Of course you end up cutting off your friends. They could never understand what you and Simon had, if they really cared about you, they’d at least act like they were happy for you, not rip into you and try and push the narrative that you’ve been “manipulated” and “taken advantage of” while in a “venerable state” ://

Si absolutely agreed as well :( you didn’t need to worry about them anymore, they’re in the past and you’re moving forward with your life, its not your fault they haven’t grown up yet ://

Plus!!!! He would love to introduce you to Prices wife and the other girls at the bar he regulars…. Sure they may be a little older and all have children but you’re such a mature girl :((( you’ll get along with them just fine :3 

Its definitely not because he wants to bring you around his friends chubby babies, planting the seed in your mind subconsciously, or consciously about having your own little family ;)))

Start taking the steps to really integrate you in his life and friendship circles ;))))))

He knows what his doing :3

You get along with everyone so well too, girls wine nights, being invited over to friends houses for dinner <3

Simon tucking his hard cock into the waist band of his boxes as you bounce one of your friends babies on your hip and coo to them :((((

You would be such a good mama to his babies :( your genetics mixed with his would make the cutest little humans and the image of you pregnant that won’t leave his mind is starting to drive him absolutely fucking feral :(((

Life is so good for you and Si at the moment :((((( of course your stupid fucking ex would come around and try to ruin it for you…..all for him…..

Your ex couldn’t of been more different from Si :(

Clad in a business suit and ridiculously expensive watch, a clean haircut, pure leather business shoes and smelling of expensive cologne, he absolutely stuck out when his Tesla pulled into the shop carpark…. 

An obviously disgusted look on his face as he entered the front office, not trying to hide his disapproval as he looked at the chipped paint that peeled off the walls and the overwhelming smell of fuel that had seeped into everything within a 50 meter radius, buttoning his suit jacket and dramatically watching his step as he walked on the stained concrete that covered the front office floor :////

Your ex was such a pretentious prick >:( if it wasn’t high luxury, he’d look down on it like it was dirt :/

The thing is, he didn’t actually care where you were after he kicked you out, he just assumed you would end up on a friends couch or something. The idea that you would run off with a random “dirty” man and enter a relationship literally hours after he broke things off enraged him. 

But everything changed when he got the news you were living with “Si” a couple hours away and you were “deeply in love” with him. 

He played the “distressed”, “regretful” boyfriend to your friends, trying to get as much information out of them as possible under the pretence of “keeping you safe”

Yeah…..right :///

His ego couldn't handle it! How dare you just move on like he was nothing!!! sleep in another mans bed without regret and start a new life with him not even being an afterthought!!!!>:( 

You were meant to be heartbroken!!! Turn up on his doorstep and beg for his forgiveness as he laughed in your face :((

But you just moved on?????

He wasn't having that. 

You were supposed to worship him, not replace him with some piece of shit mechanic >:(

Your friends fed him a lot of useless information, But there was one sentence that tied it all together. 

In the middle of your rant about how much you loved Simon, you mentioned he worked at “Price’s Motor Repairs”

Nobody had heard of any repair shop with that name from around the area, but it was enough information for your ex to track you down…

Alarm bells went off in Simons head when he saw him walk in. He wasn’t from around these parts, that much was certain, and the way his eyes snaked over his name tag and an almost cocky grin spread across his face, he new something was up and it wasn’t good. 

Your ex definitely turned up at like 5:59, a minute before Si was meant to close just to make it as inconvenient as possible for him >:/

Si never asked about your ex, he didn’t want to know. He didn’t care what his name was or what he did for a living, all he new was that he was a dickhead and that was enough to put him off. You were his now, your ex wasn’t relevant :((((

It didn’t even cross Si’s mind that this guy could possibly be your ex. It was probably just some wanker that broke down while he was passing through. So he gritted his teeth and walked outside to check out this “broken” car 

It felt like a wild goose chase. He claimed there was something wrong with the motor, he checked it out, there was nothing wrong. He then claimed his AC wasn’t working, he checked it out, there was also nothing wrong. 

This went on for about 20 minutes before Simon snapped >:(

“There aint nothin’ wrong with ya’ car mate, get that fuck out of er’ before ya’ start wishin’ ya’ did”

Snarky and satisfied, your ex left without a fight, pulling out of the shop and parking far enough down the street that he could see Si pulling out of the shop and heading home…. Leading him to directly to you without a fight….

He followed behind at a safe distance. Far enough away that Si didn’t notice he was being followed, Poor Si was beyond tired, paired with the dim lighting of the sun going down, he didn’t even notice someone was tailing him:(( he was on autopilot :(

All he wanted to do was get home to you, eat his hot meal that you prepared for him and slug on the couch with a beer, you cuddled up against him and block the outside world out for the evening :((

But after arriving home, the second he sat down for dinner, three obnoxiously loud knocks echoed off the front door.

When you saw he didn’t move, you stood up to answer it for him 

“Jus’ leave it lovie, can’t be anythin’ important this time of night”

You explained there was an older lady that lived a couple apartments down, she started developing dementia and was in the early stages, she could still look after herself but often forgot small things like buying eggs from the grocery store or how to turn the TV on, she asked you for help all the time!!! and you were sure it was just her!! Of course it was! Who else could it be!

Simon wasn’t convinced. There was no way an old lady could knock with that much force.

He followed behind you hesitantly watching you swing the door open with a smile, only to reveal the piece of shit that was at the shop an hour earlier…

Si was honestly confused as fuck for a second, only for it to all fall into place when this guy started calling you “baby” and demanding for you to come home…..

His first instinct was to pull you behind him, he was beyond shocked when your ex grabbed your wrist with force, making sure Si couldn’t move you out of his line of sight without hurting you…

“Baby, you are coming home now, look at the state of this.. this.. drug addicts flat! you’re coming home with me immediately, stop fucking resisting!” Your ex spat getting more and more enraged by the second

You couldn’t go home, you were home, Si was your home :( But before you could get a word out, Si had your ex by the bicep, the pure force of the grip sending him into cold blooded shock, muscles tensing he lets go of your wrist out of pure shock :((

“Get inside n’ lock the door” he mumbled lowly before slamming it so hard the framework shook violently, you swore the hinges could of given way :((((

Once Si finally returned, you could tell there was something wrong :( something about the way he wasn’t all over you like normal, there was a purposeful distance he put between the two of you, almost like he didn’t want you there :((

After poking and prodding him, it all finally came out 

“Ya’ know I could never give ya’ the life that he could doll…. All that fancy shit” a coldness behind his eyes, almost defeat taking over his expression :(

“I know I aint ya type baby, you’re one of them high class type, ya’ don’t belong down ‘ere with me….I’ll drive ya’ back in the mornin, okay? I’m not taken no for an answer, go start packin’’” :((((

He was so defeated, if you could see his heart you could of sworn it was ripped into separate pieces :((

He went on for a good 10 minutes like this, you know he was doing what he thought was in your best interest, but Jesus Christ did it sting :(((

Little did he know your ex was almost £50,000 in credit card debt, you payed for almost everything during the duration of your relationship :((( he never treated you to any sort of luxury like Si did :( never got you flowers or paid for your nails….

He truly thought that your ex had a one up on him…. That you would consider going back to him because of his “wealth”???

Getting off the couch and slowly sinking to your knees in front of him, you reach for the belt of his pants, slowly undoing his buckle :((

His mind is racing so much, so paranoid and distracted that he didn’t notice the sound of the metal being undone :((((

He always focused on your pleasure, making you feel wanted :(( it was your turn to appreciate him, with actions this time :333 

Si completely stops mid sentence when your warm, delicate hand palms his soft cock :(((9 

He looks down at you slowly, all worry leaving his body as he sees you down on your knees, submissive eyes looking up at him threw your eyelashes and pout on your face waiting for his reaction :(((

You could never leave Si :((( you needed a real man :(( you needed the man in front of you with his thighs spread wide and cock hardening right before your eyes :(((

Palming him agonisingly slow, he grinds against your touch desperate for more friction :((( you tell him how you’d never leave him :(((( how his the only one for you and you couldn’t survive in a world like this without him by your side looking after you the way he does :((

Soft grunts leaving his lips as he pleads with you to take out his length and stroke his now hard, aching cock >:(

“I know baby, I was stupid to think tha’, I know, jus’… jus’ pump it for me yeah?’” Growing increasingly desperate as you don’t follow his command >:( telling him you’re looking after him tonight and that he doesn't need to worry :(( how its his reward for being so big and strong, defending you from your ex and being a man :(( that all he needs to do is relax :((

He audibly whines, a sound you had never heard from him before, when you finally slip his girthy cock out of his boxes.. .

You smile up a him as you kiss his tip and squeeze your thighs together at just the thought of pleasing him and not receiving any physical pleasure yourself :))))) 

Letting out a soft feminine giggle as pre cum covers your lips, Si having no choice but to sit helpless and watch the show you’re putting on for him :(((

He could absolutely take the lead if he wanted to, but something about you treating him, sucking his dick solely because you wanted to and not expecting anything in return was an offer you couldn’t turn down ;)

Teasing Si was fun but he deserved more tonight :((((( if it was up to you, lapping at his swollen tip for hours until he finally releases a desperate hot load onto your face would be a dream, but not tonight, Si gets everything tonight ;)

Slowly circling his leaky tip with your thumb, a soft groan falls from his lips as he sinks further into the couch :(((

Pumping him lightly, you place soft kisses from the top of his cock to his base :(((( Si bucking his hips and pleading with you threw his eyes just to suck it :((((( he tries so hard to hide his whines through deep groans but fails horribly :((( he was so tired tonight, emotionally and physically, any self control he would normally have was out the window :((

Taking your tongue, you lick from the base to the tip, salty sweat and pre cum filling your taste buds as your tongue glides up his vainy shaft :(

Si jerks forward a little at the sudden warm contact, throwing his head back as he eases into the warm sensation :3333

Without hesitation, you deep throat his 8 inch length, his tip hitting the back of your throat and your eyes watering instantly :((

Si’s callused hand instinctively grips your hair, rough grunts bounce off your apartment walls as he helped you set a ruthless pace, your mouth being abused and jaw aching from his sheer girth :(((

“That’s it Darlin’, fuck ya’ such a good girl for me, look at ya’ look at tha’ beautiful fuckin’ mouth taken’ me” 

Holding your head still as he throat fucks you, your saliva dripping down your chin and onto the dirty cream carpet that covers the living room floor:(((

Seeing the small bump of his cock appear at the front of your neck with each brutal rut :(( your flushed cheeks and teary eyes make a small cocky smile spread across his face >:( 

You were his! All his! Claiming your throat and having full control over how he fucks it makes his achy balls tighten as they slap against your chin :((

“That prick could never fuck you like I could, he’ll never feel ya’ fuckin throat again” he was so close to his release :((( Si was normally really good at holding off but the possessiveness of claiming your mouth with thick cum was pushing him over the edge in a matter of minutes :((((

Grabbing your hair tighter, he forcefully makes you deep throat his dick, your nose touching his pelvic bone and buried in his musky pubes <3 moans from your full mouth muffled by his cock shoved deep into your throat >:((

He cums hard…slow, deep thrusts as ropes of his salty seed run down your throat, you have no choice but to swallow his semen that his so politely given you :((

With each thrust, he lets out a quiet and strained “mine”. Its more to himself then you, reassuring himself that you were in fact his and his to keep :((

You remove your abused mouth from his cock, slowly pumping his now semi-hard dick with a dopey smile on your face, cum leaking out the corner of your mouth as you innocently look up at him and place a kiss on his swollen tip :))

You look so beautiful, covered in his cum and claimed :)

He leans down to kiss you, a thank you for what you did for him, but before he could even open his mouth you whisper a quite “I love you” into his lips… 

the first “I love you” you and Simon had ever shared :((

Its safe to say he said it back :333

And he says it again with his face inbetween your legs a minute later ;)))

okay, okay, okay, I know I promised to upload this after work like....days ago BUT I totally forgot I had a concert on and didn't have time to finish writing it AND THEN this guy im talking to came over to meet my dad and everything just pilled up im so so so sorry...BUT in my defence, this is over 4k which is my longest fic ive written so far, I love y'all I promise

OO THE VIOLIN GIRL FROM EPISODE 6 IS IN THE ORCHESTRA

HOWIEEEEEE

"Mr Caswell", he said, in the loudest voice possible while backstage at a show that's about to start.

Mazzara what are you trying to pull-

I usually like Benjamin but I don't like his tone

"iS yOuR wHoLe FaMiLy HeRe?" LIKE YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW THATS A SOFT SPOT FOR EJ

"we've had some good conversations these past few weeks"

right so what's going to happen after you graduate?

what does he think of you not going to Duke?

good old Mr. M

therapist Mr. Mazzara, they all need it.

start with Ricky though.

"Michael Bowen"

dude why did you shave, now you look less like "hot lumberjack" and more "creep at the gas station"

OH-

why does it sound like jennzzara started dating and now they just sit back and talk smack about everyone in their freetime

break the fourth wall-

"the wolves and very talented humans"

how dare he forget to mention the very talented wolves and normal humans, smh erasure

"being nice, what a concept" ted talk by Lily who still doesn't have a last name

did she just say lol out loud

same with the hug emoji last episode-

go touch some grass babes

the way he didn't say no, but said he didn't know how the east high kids would react-

not saying he does want to date her but that's an interesting thing to think about, also another thing to write an essay analysis on just to leave it in my drafts for a few months

awww lily genuinely trying to help him

sorry guys, I've been taken by the Lily charm (didn't know it existed until now but oh well)

REMEMBER WHEN I SAID I'LL NEVER SHIP PORTWELL?

HELP ME I'M BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY LIL-

David Attenborough?

oh nvm it's Benjamin narrating the show in a really weird British accent for some reason.

[p1nkwitch]

Hi! I really like all the afterlife fanfics you wrote could you give me director's cut for them?

Since i went off about chapter 3 in another ask i will explain chapter 1 and 2 instead.

So here is the thing, inspired by a fanart yes.

Chapter 1 breaks the mold because its from Peter’s perspective while the other two are from Jonah. This one is to establish his afterlife, how by all means its mostly perfect, by him being alone in the apartment, being able to do his own things. But ultimately its about waiting.

Peter always leaves beceause of the lonely, always runs away, but now he doesnt have that, he doesnt have that blanket to fall into, and like i put there without forsaken he is left truly alone.

He was undicted into it since a child, children need emotional support, the lonely made everything muffled enought that he didnt need to deal with it in big doses. Thats why he admits to have mood swings, he is strggling with his emotions now that he can feel them to the fullest.

When i made this i decided to make waiting a plot point in all of them, just like the beach. Elias or Peter need to wait. They need to stay, they have to choose to stay and wait for the other, like they didnt in life. They need it to grow.

Peter goes through the story slowly realizing the empty spaces that Elias ocupied in his life and feels dread at it. Because despite their many issues he does truly care for him. Enought to die for him even. So he has to grapple with that, its not until he finally comes to the conclusion that he misses him and wants him back at the beach house that Jonah is able to be seen.

Peter doesnt want to think that Elias might be the one this time to leave him, that its not him doing the running away but the man instead.

The ice cream, it starts to slowly taste like things that Elias likes because even if he doesnt say it he misses him. The rings and clothes, the more Peter wants Elias back, the more oportunities appear to include him in his life this time, but because he is choosing to do it. Peter is making the choice to prepare for him because he wants to.

But of course he gives a step back and thinks its merely a pattern, that its not real. The world provides the glasses and books to make him connect them more. The moment they both admit that they miss each other is when the storm happens and Jonah comes back.

Something i did not clarifie, but despite not seeming that long of a time, the reality where Jonah was? He spent far longer than he ever tells Peter, he had to really think things through, but eventually htere was so much he could do there alone. So he is sent to Peter. He cant leave the beach and go into town like the other until he is done working himself out and recognizing his wrong doings.  Jonah wont be forgiven, everyone has the right to deny him that, but he has to start by feeling bad about it to get better.

Something i ended up changing because i was not sure if i was right to add it was that i was thinking of transJonah, its why he was mildly uncomfortable most of the time with Peter watching him since he never mentioned it to him. I did not clarify it, but i left it sort of ambiguous because i didnt want to scrap it completely. Peter of course does not care one bit, as he said as long as its Jonah he doesnt care about the body itself. Most of my Jonah’s in this fic play into that, but im not sure if i would do it right so i end up backtracking.

Chapter two!!! I wrote chapter 1 and two back to back, this was originally the first chapter, but i was not sure if people would like the monster Jonah so i switched it to the second one. Its funny because that one was a lot of peoples favourite.

I like writing horror in weird doses, and i have a lot of opinions regarding several of Jonahs choices.

Changing faces, pretending to be what you are not and make people doubt what they know? Stranger, Spiral and Web.

Jonah changed so many faces through the years, so many masks to play to keep his game going that in his afterlife that became  his reality. A lesson.

Short and simple horror, to discover you are not what you think, to repeat it over and over in a cycle starting again from the beggining. I have a short blurb of something like that and got inspired by it. To slowly deteriorate until you cant reconiza yourself in the mirror.

Jonah has an image he likes to project so to get that stolen from him, leaving him with nothing? It destroys him.

He leaves when he rejects knowing, because everything he has ever done is that!! It was the point, to finally stop worrying about it. Forgetting of course was a way to keep himself safe from his own pain.

I wanted him to be alone and paint a particular background of nothingness.

Something i ended up sort of leaving.... again! Due to me not being sure if i would do it right was him slowly starting to lose his self, there are some left overs that remained, he becomes They in some parts. it was going to become more obvious the way he spoke about himself the more he advanced. i regret it now because i really liked it!!! I was just being hard on myself for nothing. Im happy i left some of it, like i did with the first chapeter.

The lighthouse, the house and Peter.

Peter did not realize at first, he just gave it to him on a whim, tired of waiting for his little Siren. As i said, waiting and stayin is the main point.

My favourite part of the entire chapter is Peter asking when will he be done pretending. It sort of got me too while writing it for some reason. I wanted it to be more... impactful but i think it came out perfect as it was. Its like being in a dream but suddenly you are told you need to wake up and it feels like a slap to the face.

Thats the feeling i was aiming for there.

Jonah gets slapped with the reality of the situation that he had been avoiding.

Final thoughs are, Peter doesnt care how he looks!!! They wil stay there for as long as they want. With Simon who can come and go as he pleases.

The cats will come to them eventually, i wont be cruel to let them be forgotten.

And if im honest? I like the idea more that he doesnt recover his face. He cant, he doesnt know who he is anymore. But is happy anyways with Peter to keep him company now.

Ok i really went off here!! If anyone has any other doubt or wants to know something of another fic!! Ask away

[wygolvillage]

been thinking about how i would make a remake/reimagining of simons quest. long post ahead. might be a little stupid since im no game designer or writer or anything lol

random gameplay stuff

it would be metroidvania style, but not all in the castle. imagine it like ooe but the map is interconnected.

i would keep the day/night cycle but it would be less obnoxious of course... probably there would be a little clock on the HUD showing what time it is and how close you are to nightfall. villagers would go inside during the night, but you can still enter churches. churches are your most reliable healing method since save rooms would be pretty sparse in the rest of the world map, and saving at the churches also allows you to skip straight to morning or nightfall if you so desire. being stuck in the middle of the woods during night can be disastrous if the player is ill-prepared since monsters grow stronger then.

there would still be puzzles to figure out and complete, and it would still be a bit cryptic (not to the degree of the original of course), but there is a supporting character i would put in who you can ask for hints at any time, and hers are a lot more straightforward (more on her later). important items are gained through quests rather than bought with hearts, but drop rates would be VERY forgiving since it’s required. like, a villager promises to give you the red crystal if you can get him some fish meat from a merman, which would have about a 40% drop rate... i kind of wanted to preserve the sense of fighting monsters to forage for materials the original has without making the game a total grindfest :P

additionally, materials dropped from monsters can be used to craft food items after simon teams up with the aforementioned supporting character. like i said before, save rooms wouldn’t be super common so it would be implemented as a way to heal yourself when you’re away from town.

the bosses would be decently difficult to compensate with there being very few of them- a true challenge, but they can be beaten with both playable characters if the player is skilled enough

the plot would be expanded upon as well so lemme give a little summary

it begins in simons house where he wakes up having trouble breathing. he’s been struggling with some physical illness ever since battling dracula years prior, especially a nasty bite on his arm he sustained during the fight, and that arm has been turning a pretty nasty shade of grey, like its wasting away. he goes outside to a graveyard near a local church to try and get some fresh air, but it is largely unhelpful. suddenly, he spots an old woman standing at one of the graves. he looks over at him and says mysteriously “ah... must be a horrible night for a curse.” simon is like “what do you mean?!” the old woman tells him to “resurrect him and destroy what remains, or nothing will remain of you”. she then disappears into thin air, implying she’s a ghost or something equally spooky. simon is like “destroy what remains... dracula’s remains?!”

the game starts properly in the graveyard and surrounding forest as simon heads in a fairly straight path towards the town of jova, where he meets a woman a few years younger than him named agnes. agnes’ parents were killed by dracula’s forces when he was resurrected back then, and she admires simon greatly for defeating the dark lord (shes also implied to be a descendant of grant danasty!). she decides to accompany him on his quest after hearing about his curse. he asks the head priest of the town if he knows about dracula’s remains, and the priest tells him that he heard of some of dracula’s followers placing some of dracula’s body parts in their strongholds to worship, and points him to the direction of the first stronghold and hands him a stake. he also warns them that bringing all of his remains together can resurrect the dark lord and it holds a remarkable corrupting power.

simon and agnes then become a character swapping duo (just like portrait of ruin hehehe). agnes is low on defense but can deal plenty of damage at a close range, and her signature weapon is the golden knife. she’s fast as well, whereas simon is more of a slow, defensive character who is best at keeping distance between himself and the enemy. agnes is smart, but impulsive and stubborn, and doesn’t like being told that she’s wrong. simon is a stoic but kind individual who tends to keep to himself. their personalities occasionally cause conflict between them during the adventure, but they eventually grow to become really good friends.

eventually they reach berkeley mansion, the first of the strongholds, and its aesthetic is very much “dark evil church”. there are the usual skeletons and bats and stuff, but some of the dracula followers are regular enemies as well. the first boss is a human who has dedicated his life to following dracula (specifically to contrast against the priest dude who gave simon the stake and directions) who uses magic attacks and stuff. beating him earns simon dracula’s rib, which functions suprisingly well as a shield (which becomes important later).

the adventure continues on like this, going from town to mansion to town, with simons curse becoming more and more hindering to him (from a story perspective not a gameplay one. simon wont become worse to play as because that would be lame as hell). they go to the other mansions, with the bosses being carmilla (guarding the nail of vlad, in a mansion thats very much a vampires lair), olrox (guarding the eyeball, in a massive dining hall themed mansion) death (guarding vlads ring in a Spooky Clockwork Skeleton Mansion with slogras and gaibons and all the usual death stuff), and in the final mansion... there is no boss. just as simon is about to grab the heart, agnes stops him.

Agnes: You told me you were going to destroy the remains, weren’t you?

Simon: Of... Of course, Agnes. Why do you ask?

Agnes: Why haven’t you?

Simon: ...

Agnes: We have almost all of them. You remember what the priest said, right? That bringing them together can resurrect Dracula.

Simon: Well... I haven’t exactly been truthful, Agnes. The old woman who sent me on this quest didn’t tell me just to destroy his remains...

Agnes: So you’ve been intending to resurrect the Dark Lord this whole time? For your own selfish gain?

Simon: This curse will kill me if I don’t.

Agnes: ...So it’s true, then. You’re willing to risk the lives of thousands just to save your own skin. Lives like my parents’... Lives like mine.

Simon: I...

Agnes: There’s no need to explain yourself, oh great hero, Simon Belmont. (Scoffs) If you care more for yourself than anyone else, strike me down now!

surprise! simon has to fight against his best friend! tbh i would be pissed at him too lmao. and it’s a tough fight, as agnes can deal a ton of damage and is hard to dodge. killing her like any other boss will give you the bad ending, where simon realizes she was right and lets himself succumb to the curse out of guilt for her death. the way to the good ending is to use dracula’s rib as a shield (i told you it would be important!) or dodge/survive her attacks until she tires out (the shield is the best method though), and realizes simon doesn’t want to hurt her. they have a touching emotional moment and simon assures her that he beat dracula before and can do it again, but he will need her help. agnes nods, and they head to the ruins of dracula’s old castle, which is totally empty. there’s no music, while the rest of the game has been filled with catchy tunes, here there’s only ambient noise.

they reach the throne room and place drac’s remains on a pedestal, where they begin to glow with dark energy. blood is dripping down the walls and stuff, and the count is returning to the mortal plane as thunder booms in the background. simon begins to doubt himself. if he loses now, the world will be plunged into darkness, and it will all be his fault. but... agnes has his back, despite everything. they fight dracula together, and though it’s tough with simon’s weakened body, they eventually prevail, as simon drives the stake into his heart, the curse finally lifted.

the game ends with agnes and simon returning to jova. agnes admits that she’s still upset with simon for lying to her, but she would be even more upset if he died slowly because of her. simon sighs, stating that there was no easy solution to the situation they were in, and asks for forgiveness for breaking her trust and risking so much for his own desires. agnes says maybe one day she will forgive him completely, and she still considers him a friend, but she needs some time to herself. simon nods, and they go their separate ways.

SO YEAH idk if this is even good but i hope u at least enjoyed reading it. maybe ill make designs for this version of simon, and for agnes too ofc :D

...yeah, not exactly the happiest ending, but i always found it kind of weird that simon was so willing to resurrect the count to save himself from the curse, so that’s the main conflict i decided to add to the story. its not the sort of conflict that can be easily resolved. theres no easy answer... agnes was right about simon risking other peoples lives being wrong, but she was also wrong to insist that he just give up and let the curse kill him instead. its Complicated idk... Castlevania II: Simon’s Trolley Problem

edit: actually i decided there would be two "true endings" after using the shield in the agnes fight. the one i described, and a second one where they decide against resurrecting dracula and simon lives out the short rest of his days with agnes until he dies of the curse. both endings are considered equally canon and valid

[pinksweatergettingbetter]

warning, the following has mainly snarky (and possibly furious) opinions on Spirit of Justice. Reader discretion is advised.

ok guys. its the final ending for REALS this time.

Amara’s been shot after lying for approximately half a decade, boobs AND secrets were exposed, Dhurke was momentarily a good father and everything is exhausting.

now, for the actual final chapter of this ball-gripping tale.

-

“If she did shoot Amara, she’s not gonna get away with it!! Not on my watch!!” ok apollo do remember that youre still an unarmed foreign man with an occupation that makes you an outcast and also you’re 5′5″    up against a literally queen with followers proven to kill for her

-

a 50/50 chance of survival

so an Engarde/Vera/Hostages situation then

-

“...That Ga’ran! Justice will be served.”

ok APollo’s dialogue writers have officially opened the Stock Phrases barrel.

-

ok so Rayfa... maybe knows she’s Amara’s daughter? if so i love her like 10 times more. she actually put 2 and 2 together.

-

“...How are YOU, Horn Head?”

BLESS HER

-

Datz: :( Dhurke is dead guess the revolution is over

yeah i guess there’s nobody to defend you from pulling bullshit like throwing firecrackers at kids anymore, is there, Vore Machine? Cause I doubt Behleeb would stand for that shit.  

yeesh. talk about weak ass resolve.

when Mia died Phoenix didn’t wallow in depression, he got his ass up and went to defend her sister.

-

Datz: Hey Apollo! Because I’m a lazy fuckwad, if you don’t prove Ga’ran guilty, the revolution is over and our country is doomed! Good luck!

god even when he’s actually taking things seriously he’s a shithead. like really? if the trial goes south, that’s it? no more revolution? despite how much the trial has /already/ done to rile up your supporters?? what kind of a revolutionary are you?!

-

Ready or not, here comes Justice!

god yes lets end this

-

hey where’s Sadmad

maybe he went with his mom to make sure they didn’t just kill her at the hospital.

-

ohhh. i see. they haven't announced it yet but thats actually pretty clever of her– Sadmad’s the final blockade to fall. Accuse him of the murder, carry off Amara to be ‘healed’, and then uh... do nothing about the rebels because apparently they’re not even interested in a revolution anymore.

-

yeeeeeep it’s sadm–

SEXY PAN UP SHOT FOR NAHYUTA

-

hey Perceive you should be kicking it about now.

-

well that IS leading the witness, apollo.

-

y’know, considering Ga’ran is a monarch, she could pardon Nahyuta for his crime. I mean, he’s still useful to her.

-

“The law, Nahyuta? Or the queen?”

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

-

“problematic testimony”

s top... using that word... pls

-

“The holy mother does not condone killing in her name” but her sister’s name??? fuck yes murder that shit up

just say Lady Kee’ra told you to do it and you’re off the hook sadmad

-

ok... so Dhurke rescued Amara when Nahyuta was ten, (15 years ago) and he met her at that point. Apollo got shipped off to America when he was nine... And since Nahyuta is a year older than Apollo, that would make that the very same year. Ah– and confirmed by Apollo himself. Guess he just missed her.

“Sorry Apollo– I’m getting my wife back and we need your bed... See you in 15 years!”

-

“Mr. Justice. Know that Dhurke sent you away so that you would not be caught up in the life we led.” oK??? but why didn’t he send Nahyuta away too? it’s literally been stated that Nahyuta was totally outcasted, and even worse, now we find out he had to live constantly on the run. A ten year old.

Why not send Nahyuta off to America with his brother, and bring them back when everything was safe?

-

Apollo: But Dhurke said that pic was from 23 years ago!!

tbh i have no idea why theyre still trying to cover up Rayfa’s true parentage. cause i dont think the shame of her being related to a rebel really matters at this point.

-

my brain is pea soup

-

“If Rayfa comes out as the daughter of Dhurke, everyone will hate her like they hated me!”

...except we just got done basically freeing him of all wrongdoing and that was the end goal of the revolution, thus making this utterly meaningless.

...wait. this isn’t the only thing Garan was threatening to do to Rayfa, was it???

-

holy fuck. thats it. no threats of murder or assault; just “ill tell everyone that her dad’s Dhurke”

despite the fact that even IF she got kicked out of the royal family, she would still be the next queen since the queen Must be a spirit medium, and Rayfa is the only other medium in the country??

but whatever, i ... fuck it, whatever.

this is just a straight up rehash of Simon and Athena anyway, preceded by a rehash of Trials and Tribulations.

-

“You are an innocent party in this”

damn right she is

-

“I just gave up overthrowing the queen because she said she’d tell everyone your dad was a bad man”

good fucking lord, no wonder the revolution didnt get anywhere. NOBODY believed in it, even from the fucking start.

-

god the longer this goes on, the less afraid I am of Ga’ran. hell, considering the police’s skill level, i could probably just deck her in the face and then sprint out the door and id get away with it.

-

Apollo: The Edgeworht I knew–– fuck, the Simon I knew–– shit, fuck, damnit–– The NAHYUTA I knew would NEVER let himself be turned into this!!

-

“This hope in your heart is what binds me, Dhurke and you as a family”

yeah whatever

-

boy everyone really WAS depending on Dhurke. No Dhurke, can’t do shit.

thats just... depressing.

-

“I have to protect her from being outed as the child of Dhurke!!” he yells in the middle of court surrounded by witnesses who can probably figure this shit out for themselves

-

“..............Really? Nothing at all? Could an exceptional lawyer like Dhurke try that long and really uncover nothing at all? He had over two decades, Apollo.”

IM WHEEZING

I KNOW THIS ISN’T WHAT HE’S SAYING BUT IT FUCKING SOUNDS LIKE HE’S SAYIGN “uhhh i fuckin did it in SEVEN years"

-

oh my god!! oh shit!!

thank god real-life physics dont apply to fire-smoke in the AA universe or else lil baby apollo would be dead in like 2 seconds

-

OH MY GOD OH NO

APOLLO JUST STRAIGHT UP FLIPPED OUT OF HIS ARMS

I HOPE HIS SWADDLING IS REALLY PADDED

JESUS CHRIST

-

noooo god. now I'm genuinely distressed

-

why'd Rayfa bring up the lighter evidence?? thats not something to do with Jove’s last thoughts

-

“Someone attempted to assassinate Queen Amara by settling her residence ablaze”

me: who's the motherfucker in the shiny thing

-

hrhrhhghg looking at baby apollo is hurting the horrible gremlin mother inside me pls let me just find the contradiction soon

ᶫᵒᵒᵏ ᵃᵗ ʰᶦˢ ᶜᵘᵗᵉ ᶫᶦᵗᵗᶫᵉ ᶠᵃᶜᵉ ʷᶦᵗʰ ʰᶦˢ ᵗᶦᶰʸ ᶠᵘᶜᵏᶦᶰ ᶫᶦᵗᵗᶫᵉ ʰᵃᶦʳ

-

OH ITS A HAND

OHHHHHHHH

-

>ENHANCE<

-

“Peasants”

whoa go back to old timey tumblr your malevolence

-

“It shall still be I who shall decide Rayfa’s fate.”

uh pretty sure you won’t cause your guilt just got proven in front of tonnes of witnesses and the rebels can legitimately just whisk Rayfa to safety right now, right? like. you’re not queen anymore. you lost. Rayfa is already queen at this second if Amara doesn’t make it.

-

“The child lives only by my good graces”

ok at least we know murder was on the table. but also Ga’ran you’re literally dead on the spot you can’t do this anymore

-

does she uh. maybe know anything about Russian history, perhaps..? if i was her id be sneaking out the back way real fuckin quick

-

well Sadmad its a little less impressive that youve finally decided to defy her when there’s literally nothing left to defy but... meh.

-

“I believed protecting your secrets was in the best interest of his kingdom...”

WHY

WHAT

WHY??

-

“In all this time, not once did I reflect on my own conduct -- for I had believed all was fate”

did he just admit he happily acted like a fuckhead under the excuse “oh well, fate’s fate! better be an enormous shithead!!”

yeah, Sadmad?? doesn’t fucking fly.

-

the DD’s salute looks like they’re catching a kiss

-

( Now, if we could just prove Ga’ran’s guilt... )

YOU JUST DID. YOU HAD A FUCKING WITNESS

-

“For the cuffs could have been stolen and used without my knowledge”

you have actual octopus hair

you’ve visibly threatened the life of your own daughter

everything about you is evil and your shit system convicts people on a dime

id say witnessing those cuffs is enough evidence.

-

oh i just realized Sadmad and Amara do the same head-down hand-symbol pose. cute

-

“we gotta find the clothes– if we can, then–”

oh god. oh god. i dont like where this is going

-

siblings unite to piss off auntie 

-

oh god

oh god

OH GOD

CORPSE CLOTHES

SHE STRIPPED AND REDRESSED A CORPSE

I DIDN’T WANT THIS

-

“Because even Monarchs aren’t above the law.”

hell yeah

-

"Haha. If you convict me, Nahyuta will die for using fake testimony to protect me!”

a) it was under duress, i’d say thats exempt from the law

b) when you go, you’re no longer the queen. you have no power to enforce a law YOU wrote. Amara/Rayfa will abolish the law and pardon Nahyuta

you really are grasping at moron straws aren't you??

-

“I hate it too but its the law of the land. And as you said, nobody is above the law.”

you people have the brains of protozoa 

-

“She wants us to let her off scot-free? And yet, I don’t see any other choice...”

phoenix, ho-humming about how he had basically the same dilemma in JFA and he convicted engarde anyway

-

babe,,, you cant make laws anymore,,, you lost. just give up jesus christ. er, holy mother.

-

oh this is where the SEX! SEX! SEX! gif is from heheh

-

garan if you kill them you’ll have a courtroom full of witnesses and even the most brainwashed of your subjects won’t stand for a straight up massacre 

and if you dont want witnesses you’ll have to kill them all

covering that up’ll be pretty hard. along with the fact that this will only piss off the resistance more

you’re really spiralling here your malevolence 

-

oh my god we didnt need that to be voice acted 

-

HSHDGDJ

Phoenix: shut UP apollo!!! w-we’re gonna die!!!

-

“I cannot lose you to the twilight realm too!”

aren’t you heading there together? ...that is kinda sweet tho.

-

alright, enough griping– lets just treat this like a nice big finish. 

this music is weird though i gotta say

-

Apollo: time to face death and laugh!

Phoenix: heheh, yeah, heheh– [signalling to the gallery] TAKE CARE OF TRUCY FOR ME

-

“Two auspicious creatures dwell within you– a fierce dragon and a virtuous Phoenix.”

im gonna assume the japanese version of the line was “boy ya got double the dragon power up in you”

-

your playbook huh phoenix

heheh

-

oh shit

logic

i forgot about that

-

wow. i love that “the queen literally committed several murders, fraud and basically ruined out country” doesn’t mean anything, but “our queen doesn’t have magic powers” is enough to kick her out on the fucking spot 

-

as much as this ending is kinda stupid, i do appreciate the sheer amusement value of backing Garan into an impossible corner 

sjkhdhjshj

and in front of her creepy guards

ur diarrhoea garan indeed!!

-

“I want a lawyer!”

[bart voice] the ironing is delicious 

-

o man... I'm laugh

OH! THEY MIGHT EXPLAIN THIS

“why did amara even listen to garan in the first place?”

“My mother is a gentle soul who loves her sister. So when Ga’ran told her to hide because Dhurke was out to kill her, she believed it.”

...

“What’s more, she did not wish to tarnish the name of her beloved sister...”

.......

“That is why she acquiesced so obediently to Ga’rans request to keep channeling for her.”

.............

“Until she fled with Dhurke and was told the truth, that is.”

wh–– 

“But since Rayfa was being held captive... I imagine Amara had no choice but to help cover up the truth behind Inga’s murder.”

THAT DOESN’T ACCOUNT FOR THE TIME BEFORE AND DURING HER PREGNANCY. WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE DOING THEN!?

AMARA.

i wonder if this was the same guy who “sniped” the phantom 

-

you know... on one hand, I'm glad Apollo’s come into his own. But I also hate that he’s leaving the series this way.

It’s not the fact that Apollo is getting his own office, even in a different country– that’s not half bad. But the way they’ve left everything unfinished, and the way they’ve tossed his character around like a hacky-sack... I just can’t accept this as a “happy” ending for the character.

-

wait why is the revolution still being spoken about– isn’t it over, technically..? i mean, they won... the rebuilding part isn’t really a revolution, is it? 

-

well anyway. I’m happy for Apollo, but not for Apollo Justice. you know what I mean?

anyway– it’s been a pleasure writing all this shit and going through this whole thing with you guys– err, whoever reads these, haha.

I may come off like a dick, but honestly it comes from a place of deep, deep love for a series that's helped me in so many ways. Here’s hoping AA7 will bring us a new, crazy adventure. 

so, i’ll seeya next time. possibly with a much more lighthearted play by play of PL VS AA :)

[deep inhale]

[buybtyonitunes]

Basically yea why the fandoms or specifically 'harries' and 'louies' are responding the way they are to both h and l and for example I know that Louis' team is shit but the whole thing on why Harry's music is being boycotted or smth idk I'm confused sorry if I'm confusing you

Oh ok lol I can do that

So basically a lot of the bitterness stems from the vast differences in louis and harry’s management and promotional teams. harry’s been working on this launch with the azoffs since at least 2013, irving azoff is one of the most powerful people in the entertainment/music industry and having that family and their connections on harry’s side is incredible. His new pr firm represents lots of important and famous clients and they’re also very good at what they do. 

meanwhile Louis is working with a former Syco agent and simon jones, 1d’s old publicist, who has let louis look like shit in the media for two years now, and it doesn’t really make a lot of sense to people that Harry has such an amazing manager and promotion and louis seems to be stuck with a lazy manager and a publicist thats in a coma for 362 days a year. 

I’ll start with the response to solo louis first. To make a long story short the initial reaction to him was embarrassment, shame and mockery. His career announcement was published by dan wootton so most people already were skeptical about it being legit, and just 7 days later out of nowhere louis was suddenly announced to be performing his debut single on the british xfactor, and of course the show+Simon association already had people turned off and going as far to say that they wouldn’t even watch. At this point there’s so much passive-aggressiveness and doubt and pessimism being displayed towards him and I think a lot of it stemmed from people not having any faith in him from the beginning and thinking he never wanted to go solo/never displayed any interest in it and insisting if he did he wouldn’t do it the way he was doing it, and so on. Of course the entire tune of everything changed once we found out WHY he was doing this (Jay) and most of the skepticism and analyzation was dropped. 

Solo harry: since the beginning of last year 2016 it was pushed by bigger blogs in the fandom that harry had absolutely no solo music plans. There’s screenshots and receipts out there from bigger blogs insisting he didn’t want it and he would never do it. of course they were completely, embarrassingly incorrect. There had been just as much skepticism and doubt surrounding him and his plans/promo (up until sott was released) as there was with louis. But there WAS a lot of hostility displayed towards solo!harry and i still cant figure out why. 

Harry’s team is not picked apart as much as louis’ is, that’s a fact. that’s not to say it isn’t because there is a small niche group of mostly louies that are vocal about what Harry’s team is doing but it goes either praised or ignored by bigger platforms that sway the fandom conversation. 

As for the way specific fans are responding to things, i think it goes back to the discrepancies between the teams and watching one (sometimes two) do better than the other. 

Louies (+ a percentage a louie-larries) are generally more negative and critical toward harry because harry’s team has him in mind and absolutely nobody else, he is their #1 priority and HAS been for several years. He had a very successful, carefully crafted launch that had the entire world buzzing with anticipation without having even heard anything from him. Meanwhile louis has a manager that tries to kill two birds with one stone by taking advantage of his fans and using Louis to promote his other clients, his PR rep couldn’t give less of a shit about him, and it looks like he’s sticking with the label that fucked him over for 6 years which is a little hard to comprehend.

i can’t really speak for harries/harrie-larries because i’m..not one but i think it goes without saying they’re focusing all of their attention on him right now because he’s the current center of the universe in all aspects and it makes sense. i don’t remember the reaction to solo Louis but for some harrie-larries it’s generally positive and supportive while het harries don’t know a lotus tomatoson so i won’t go there

Larries, bigger blogs, the ones who refuse to ‘pick a side’ are generally swaying toward harry, and treat him with gentler hands than they do with louis. they usually don’t call out jeff on his bullshit as often as they do with russell. harry isn’t side-eyed as much as louis is. Harry conversations are definitely treated a lot more carefully compared to Louis conversations which are mostly free-game all the time.

The boycotting thing yesterday was something that someone’s anon made up and it spread super quickly that there was an organized boycott happening against harry’s album in protest to Louis and babygate. it isn’t real and it was never a thing but bigger blogs (read: closet harries) took it as fact even when they were approached by people saying they had misread the anon, and went on really weird angry rants threatening people to buy harry’s album and saying if you didn’t stream sott you weren’t a fan and lots of really strange, manipulative stuff that really showed a lot of blogs’ true colors.

I HOPE THIS HELPED SORRY IF THIS IS HARD TO READ AND/OR LONGWINDED AND/OR MAKES NO SENSE come back if you have any other questions :-)

Race To The Oscars (Part 3)

With only 3 days to the main event, and all the excitement and anger over wins and snubs, its time to check back on that countdown clock to the Oscars. Here’s my final list of Oscar nominated movies that I’ve managed to watch before the event.

Manchester By The Sea - 4.5/5

Manchester By The Sea is deeply resonating and highly moving. It has been nominated for 6 Oscars and deserves all of the nominations. Out of these 6 nominations, the Best Actor in a Leading Role award for Casey Affleck has the strongest chance of winning. He was outstanding as a man dealing with a dark past and having to deal with unwanted but unavoidable circumstances.

I will not talk about the story as I don't want to reveal too much of what its about. You should go and experience it yourself.

The only thing I didn’t like was the end. I felt that there was no character arc for the protagonist. Yes, I understand that not always does a character need to evolve and be who the universe wants it to be, but when you see a movie like Manchester By The Sea, and don't see that arc, it feels a bit incomplete. But that is just my POV and obviously not what the director wanted for this character and I respect that.

Apart from this small issue, everything in this movie is perfect. It's beautifully shot and the acting by the supporting cast is also top notch! This is a magnificent, heart-wrenching movie that must be experienced.

Oscar Nominations- 6

Hacksaw Ridge - 3.5/5

Hacksaw Ridge is both a religious movie, and a war movie. So in that it sometimes ends up mixing the tone it wants to take. It has 3 main acts.

The 1st act establishes who the protagonist is. Andrew Garfield plays Desmond Doss, WWII American Army Medic who refused to carry a weapon or kill people due to his religious beliefs, but wanted to enlist as a medic so that he can do his part for the country. Now obviously there was politics as to how can someone go to war but not carry a weapon, and despite how interesting that politics was, I felt that Director Mel Gibson took a bit too long to establish it all and hence overindulged a little to much.

But as soon as I started to loose interest, the 2nd act began, and boy was it a complete transformation. The 2nd act takes place at Hacksaw Ridge were the American Army is trying to capture it back from the Japanese but are failing miserably. And those scene are one of the best war scenes I have ever seen on screen. If you have seen Gibson’s previous movies you know that his movies are inherently violent. So there are no hold backs here. The war scenes are both violent and graphic, and that makes it feel very real and not just some drama we are watching in the cinemas. So when Doss is rescuing injured solders, the stakes feel real and not staged. You feel that you have been teleported to the battle and are there with the soldiers.

But then the 3rd act appears and suddenly this real and grounded war movie turns into a cheesy movie where things are unnecessarily overdramatized. And it is made into an over the top religious drama for no good reason. And that takes so much away from this movie.

But because it is a true story, so when you hear about it, despite your own religious beliefs, you feel for Doss and his courage. And when you are watching the movie you find yourself cheering and rooting for him. But how I wish that Gibson had stuck to the treatment he chose for the 2nd act all the way till the end. It would have made it into a masterpiece. Having said that, it is still a great movie that should be experienced for both the 2nd act and Andrew Garfield’s honest performance.

Oscar Nominations- 6

Florence Foster Jenkins - 3/5

Florence Foster Jenkins is a feel good movie with outstanding acting. That honestly is all there to this movie. It has been nominated for Best Leading Actress and Best Costume. And it deserves both these nominations. But a win might be difficult. Watch it for the comedy and Meryl Streep’s “OVERRATED” performance as Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York socialite who dreamed of becoming an opera singer, but had a terrible singing voice.

Supporting her are two other great performances, by Hugh Grant as her husband, and Simon Helberg as her pianist, who try very hard throughout the film to make sure that Florence doesn't find out how bad she is. It is a light hearted comedy and a one time watch.

Oscar Nominations- 2

Fences 3.5

Fences is basically a play, captured in a film. It is adapted from a 1983 play of the same name where 99% of the movie takes place in and around a house. Its not only shot like a play, but also acted and directed as one. So you will have the actors coming in and out of the frame while others are talking, and the camera will only move when the person of focus moves. 

Both Denzel Washington and Viola Davis have delivered Oscar worthy performances, but its Viola who has better chances of winning. Fences has also been nominated for Best Picture and Writing (Adapted Screenplay), but I doubt it will win any of the two awards.

Denzel has also directed this movie and has done a good job with it. But I have major issues with how this movie ends. For Denzel’s character there was zero character arc, and it didn't matter because of how the story and his role is written. But from where Viola’s character begins, to the growth she has up till the climax, to where she then ultimately ends up, all in all leaves a lot to be desired. It tries to normalize something that shouldn’t be normalized, and thats where it lost a lot of points. 

Oscar Nomination- 4

[spaceslouie]

1. I just recently following your blog. And I find that we have same opinion for the most part, or from your tags anyway. This by no means that you’d agree with me but can I share my opinion with you. Like I think that so many people have been too critical about his solo works. We really dont know anything. I feel like, Louis have been so appreciative about the opportunity he got, but it looks like we as fan cant even give him a chance. What if he make do with what he got. What if all this was..

2. the only thing on his hand. He said it himself, limited people to work with. Like, maybe the 5 of them dont get the same offers? I dont find it weird that H got the amount of support he got, and Louis got minimum exposure. If we can see it in a professional way, the party that did the offering have their reasons. Sometimes you dont get what you want no matter how hard you work for it. Its reality. That doesnt mean Louis dont deserve it. And people tend to forget, what you find rewarding could

3. be different from others. We want the best for him, and thats just it.. Why does it needs to be by the other 1D guys standard. I’m really emotional talking about Louis. Like, I want to respect what he do. I dont know the struggle he faced. This is the guy who hates their merch, their early music. I feel like the fandom so quick to talk but rarely listen. I dont claimed to know him, but I feel that Hes grateful for this opportunity. And I take my cue from him for the life HE live. thankyou :)

wow i . . got an ask! sorry it took me a while to answer this babe (depending on when u sent it) i dont come on this blog alot, i kinda just made a tumblr as an outlet for my thoughts and frustrations and to have a place to talk about louis lol

anyways i think we do have pretty similar feelings about the way things are going - mostly mine are just summed up by ‘idk what to think but i love louis and his music’ lol 

To be real tho, i’ve been a 1D fan since i was 12, in 2011, and i was a larrie from like 2012 to pretty much a few months ago (not that im an ‘anti’ now or anything, i just dont kno what to think). For most of my time as a 1D fan (and especially a larrie) the culture w/ us has been, for better or worse, to hyper-analyze and doubt (for lack of better words) everything we’re given and told. Tbh, since i changed my perspective a few months ago (mostly bc of solo!harry), ive pretty much just been constantly reevaluating everything ive known for the past 5/6 years and i really just have pretty much NO idea what to think, whatsoever. 

When it comes to solo!louis, ive just been trying to take it as it comes. key word is trying, bc 5/6 years of having a rock-solid idea of the “”truth”” (our ideas about the boys, management, their relationships, etc) is alot to overcome when u try to be objective. 

When u say that ppl have been too critical of louis and his stuff, im not really sure which ppl u mean or if u just mean in general - ive definitely seen some ppl who seem to be critical just for the sake of it, or bc they actually dont like louis, which, ya, thats definitely too critical. But for some of the ppl being critical, it seems like theyre coming from the same place i was before i changed my perspective - if i hadnt been so put-off by solo!harry, i probly would still be just as dedicated to the fandom “”truth”” and i would be critical of solo!louis like i was/we were of everything else. 

Basically, at this point, i think its just habit for alot of ppl to be critical and cynical. Or, even more, its generally more comfortable (especially when weve been telling ourselves for 5+ years that we know the “truth”) to be critical (in an all-knowing way like when ppl say “those stunts are so transparent” or something) than to admit that theres alot we dont kno. Or to admit that louis hasnt had the opportunities we thought he would have/we think he deserves, and theres not really anything to do about it.

Are they right to be critical? I honestly totally dont kno. But basically im done being critical just bc other ppl are - if something strikes me as wrong and worth being critical of, right off the bat, then ill criticize it. But if everything seems ok to me and i have no reservations and i see someone else complaining and making a big deal about it, i guess thats how i decide when someone is being too critical. Thats when it seems to me like theyre being critical just for the sake of it or bc thats what theyre used to. I think its important in our culture (1D fan/louie culture), at least for me in the place im in now, to just trust ur own instinct instead of looking to others to see if things are good or not.

At first i was a little confused by ur ask(s) bc it seems a little contradictory - u talk about how louis didnt get the best opportunities, and then u say ppl are being too critical. But i think i understand (maybe im projecting tho, bc this is how i feel about it). I think what i (and u, if im understanding ur ask rite) am feeling is that ppl want to place blame - we all want the best for louis, and we’re upset that it doesnt seem that he got it. We all love and appreciate louis, so it can be hard to see how other ppl wouldnt and how he wouldnt get all the opportunities we think he deserves. So we go off on his team, simon cowell, his record label, the other boys, etc., and we criticize them and everything louis puts out bc its through them/connected to them. 

But it really all comes down to the fact that regardless of what we think louis deserves, we all know that what he gets probly wont match up to that. Youre rite, he literally said that he didnt get that many opportunities, and we have to accept that. No matter how much we love and admire him, we have to realize that for various reasons the rest of the world doesnt (at least not yet). He wasnt the most famous member of 1D, or the one pushed as the most talented, and the fact that he has a unique voice makes him kindof an acquired taste. 

We have to realize that he is, like u said, doing the best w what hes got. We dont have the power to give him more, so from my perspective im just enjoying what we get and supporting it in every way i possibly can. Bc thats what being a fan is about - enjoying what u get, and supporting it so u continue to get it. We can wish he had more opportunities available, and even ask for what we want from him in polite and lighthearted ways - like tweeting him about his album, or nominating him for awards (like teen choice and stuff), or posting/tweeting about how we wish we had a video/photoshoot/etc as long as its nice and not demanding. But ya basically we are not in a position to give him opportunities so our only job (if we want it, which, being a louie, i do) is to support what he puts out. 

You said: “Like, maybe the 5 of them dont get the same offers? I dont find it weird that H got the amount of support he got, and Louis got minimum exposure. If we can see it in a professional way, the party that did the offering have their reasons. Sometimes you dont get what you want no matter how hard you work for it.” Basically, i totally agree w this and i think its totally ok to just enjoy what we get from louis w/o constantly worrying about how were getting it/what we ‘should’ be getting.

I am frustrated, and always have been, that louis doesnt get what the other boys do, but thats just the way it is. We have to accept that there isnt always someone to blame - for various reasons, louis has had less opportunities than the other boys, and theres nothing we can do about it. I would even go as far to say its not necesarily an injustice - like u said, he isnt the other boys, so we cant expect him to have the same situation as them. All we can do is support him and his music as much as we can/want to. 

anyway im SO sorry for turning this ask into a literal essay, i guess i had a lot to say and honestly im not sure how much of it is coherent or even on topic, it took me like an actual hour to write this all out and when i reread it… it didnt make as much sense as it did in my head lol. anyway i do think we hav some similar feelings and stuff and i really apreciate hearing ur thoughts! I hope we both get to enjoy bty (im so fuckin excited!!! from the teasers hes shared already its gonna be SO GOOD!!!) and i hope more good things happen for louis! tysm for sharing ur thoughts w me! 💙

FA Cup: talking details from the fifth-round pairs

Willy Caballero is too much of increased risk for Manchester City to play in Capital One Cup final Watford may lastly be persuaded to domain full-strength side in last eight and Nabil Bentalebs Tottenham season may now be all but over

1) Citys Caballero is too big a risk for bowl final

With all the focus on Manuel Pellegrinis team selection, the post-match reaction to the heaviest defeat in Manchester Citys Abu Dhabi era largely overlooked the facts of the case that some of the least impressive achievements came from their elderly participates. Martin Demichelis was once a centre-half of high reputation but those periods have legislated now and there is also strong evidence that Pablo Zabaleta, the outstanding right-back in the Premier League a few years ago, is in decline. More than anyone, though, Willy Caballero ever devotes Citys opponents the sense that Pellegrinis team might be susceptible. A City game never looks like it is going to be a stress-free moment when Caballero is choose ahead of Joe Hart and it is essential slightly embarrassing for the clubs partisans that Pellegrini says he will persist with the former Malaga goalkeeper in the Capital One Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday. Caballero saved Oscars penalty but it is beginning to feel like a stunt of the imagination that the Argentinian was signed to give Hart genuine competition. The final is Citys most realistic possibility of silverware and it would be a needless hazard on the part of Pellegrini to start with him at Wembley. Or, to throw it another way, it is fair to say Liverpools boosters will be desperately hoping Pellegrini keeps to his message. Daniel Taylor

2) Bentaleb: undroppable in FA Cup, unpickable in league

Nabil Bentaleb has fad an intriguing situation in Tottenhams squad. The Algerian started 25 tournament tournaments last-place season and was involved in the firstly four members of this campaign, but since then he has formed one fleeting replace form in that challenger plus one replace appearance in the Europa League. In Tottenhams 33 accords in those two rivals and the Capital One Cup compounded a total of 2,970 recreation times, plus stoppage epoch Bentaleb has played 216, or 7.3%, all but 50 of them in August. In the FA Cup, though, he is considered undroppable. This was the third subsequent Cup game which he has started and finished. Of the 360 minutes Spurs have played in the rival( plus stoppages ), he has been on the field for 292, or 81.1%. To be fair, an ankle ligament hurt symbolized Bentaleb was unavailable for collection for a couple of months, but since his return to fitness he has been in the Premier League matchday squad on six reasons, kicking his ends in the stands on five, and actually used for only two minutes, against Palace last month. Quite what realizes his recreation uniquely suitable for the FA Cup remains unknown but Sundays ensue leaves him in a bit of a pickle, as an FA Cup specialist without an FA Cup to play in. Perhaps his conduct in midfield, which was surefooted without being outstanding and allowed Eric Dier to drop into the back four while Toby Alderweireld was rested, might support Mauricio Pochettino to give him a chance during Tottenhams assault on the Premier League title. Neglecting that, theres ever next year. Simon Burnton

3) Preserving Payet at West Ham may be difficult

Dimitri Payet recently signed a brand-new contract at West Ham United, importance around PS125, 000 a week, that runs until 2021. Given the Frenchmans dazzling exhibitions, which continued with two goals in Sundays 5-1 hide of Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup, this is particularly astute business from the Boleyn Ground executive. After the fifth-round relationship at Ewood Park Slaven Bilic, the manager, alleged Payet is in the same class as Luka Modric, who he coached when in charge of Croatia. Payet will be 29 next month. This summer is his now-or-never instant to make a move to an nobility Champions League-level club. If he is still at West Ham by 1 September that will be even better business from the association hierarchy. And it will also be considered a sizeable astound. Jamie Jackson

4) Replays are part of a dispute football needs to have

When the great replay debate came into focus at the end of Arsenals goalless draw with Hull, Steve Bruce made a point that messed with all the old stereotypes about a smaller organization going heavyweight rivals back to their plaza. He was entertaining the notion of get instantly to a penalty shootout after the first pair, and whether it might contribute some feeling to the FA Cup if activities such as Saturdays when Hulls effective rearguard war negated Arsenal, exited straight-from-the-shoulder to the roulette of spot-kicks. Then he said the most interesting thing of all: It would grant us a better likelihood. For a director of Bruces experience, and FA Cup background, to come to that resolution surely adds to the discussions of determining whether, and how, to reshape the rivalry. He calculated his crew would have a better chance of drumming Arsenal in fines and penalties shootout after a unyielding away concert than back at the KC Stadium over another 90( or perhaps 120) hours. Bruces overall controversy is footballs planning has changed sufficiently that squidging in replays doesnt genuinely fit with the modern tournament. It is a dialogue about the FA Cup that does need to be had properly. Amy Lawrence

5) When will Watford play a full-strength surface?

So far in the Cup this season Watford have rested a number of actors and Quique Sanchez Flores stimulated six a modification to his side for the 1-0 succes over Leeds. It was position done as much as is Flores was pertained , not a classic play but one that Watford never looked like losing. Odion Ighalo started on the bench, with Troy Deeney playing behind Nordin Amrabat in attack, but with Watford in the quarter-finals and with their Premier League refuge ensure, surely Flores will pick a stronger slope in the past eight. They are now one play from Wembley and have a realistic likelihood of challenging for the Cup. What I like is the flavor I have in the crew, they are calm and positive, replied Flores after the win, when asked to comment on his squad rotation. He may be tempted to modify such an approach in the next round. James Riach

6) Hector a real ability, whether or not Chelsea realise it

Outstanding during a Reading win over West Brom that was overshadowed by the throwing of a coin at Chris Brunt after the game, Michael Hector could be forgiven for being peeved his outstanding contribution to the Championship sides success was overlooked because of some numpty with 50 p too much in his pocket and some serious matter. Signed by Chelsea last September and immediately loaned back to Reading, the languid centre-half has been rewired as a center midfielder since his big break. As one of 33 actors on loan from the Premier League association, whether he will ever feature in the champs first team remains to be determined. I spoke to Michael about playing that persona and said to him if you can develop another fibre to your bow and play in that hampering midfield persona, he can play in the position for Chelsea, said here Reading manager, Brian McDermott, of Hectors superb concert in the centre of the field. I spoke to Chelsea about Michael playing in that persona and they were happy for him to do that. He can play centre-half, he can play hampering midfielder and I thought he was fabulous today. Hes been on loan everywhere a lot of places. He hadnt been playing in the team, but we changed the organizations of the system and hes been superb in discipline. Hector has been on loan at Bracknell Town, Didcot Town, Havant& Waterlooville, Oxford City, Horsham, Dundalk, Barnet, Shrewsbury Town, Aldershot Town, Cheltenham Town, Aberdeen, Reading. Thats 12 sororities. He is 23. Barry Glendenning

7) Iturbe may have shaped Bournemouths effort worthwhile

Eddie Howe will not lose too much sleep about Bournemouths exit from the FA Cup. Seven changes from the Premier League relegation battlers last-place pick added enough and, even if they played well enough to have got something out of video games on another daylight, his post-match observation that they had not lost any points represented the statement in replica. Yet Howe also interpreted he wanted to keep participates match-sharp for their next dozen games and it especially pleased him to visualize Juan Iturbe put in the most productive rendition of his four to appointment. There is little doubting the Roma loanees caliber but his adaptation was never likely to be instant; slew of encouragement could be taken then from his tracking-back to deprive first Bryan Oviedo and then Ross Barkley early on, and some incisive raids from the right flank were a characteristic of the home line-ups first-half accomplishment. I thought he did really well in the first half, Howe articulated. He was a big player for us with his ability to drive with the projectile and counterattack. He carried security threats and it was his best accomplishment for us. He tired a little bit in the second half but overall Im very happy with him. Hes improving all the time; I only realise positive things in the prospects for Juan. Iturbe may not add greatly to Saturdays 71 instants when Bournemouth see Watford this weekend but on this evidence he will soon be are available to make an impact in the tournament. Nick Ames

ah i almsot forgot: warning, the following has mainly snarky opinions on Spirit of Justice. Reader discretion is advised.

and we’re back to our scheduled programming

time to be rendered unconscious against your will you lil shit

-

“i hardly think anyone could pass out from eating something like this”

clearly you dont know what world youre living in, Sadmad.

...also he... might be allergic, guys. ever thought of that? 

-

yes, EAT! EAT OR WE WILL HARASS YOU, POSSIBLY INNOCENT BYSTANDER!!! YOU THINK YOU HAVE RIGHTS???? CRAM THAT SHIT DOWN YOUR THROAT BEFORE I DO!!!!

-

...uh;

-

FIVE IS NOT AN OCCUPATION!!! EAT ANOTHER BUN AS PUNISHMENT!!!! REGRESS FURTHER!!!! HFKJGU;SUUSRSO 

coping jokes aside holy shit 

don’t hurt this tiny boy!!!

-

i hope you all feel guilty for being such pricks.

look at him. he's curled up under his jacket like a traumatized baby 

at least this personality... sort of aligns with how DID is supposed to work? But now i just feel even worse. Someone get that kid a teddy and a juice-box, stat!

-

“Its clear that none of his personalities could be the killer!”

A) one of the three could still be lying

B) there’s four so far, what’s to discount a fifth? triggered by... i dunno, a reefer brownie.

C) I'm actually glad he's not the killer anyway just wanted to point out the possibilities youre discounting there

-

i love that theyre playing the goofy X people music for a traumatized five year old who witnessed a horrific murder of a loved one.

-

“I believe the person who laid the cards out is the very person who killed the victim” WELL.... DOY.

-

“How quickly you move onto a new theory when your old theory proves false!”

WELL.......... DOY

-

I love that theyre all just yelling and screaming about murder while the tiny child cowers behind the bench

hello??? anybody with compassion anywhere? maybe in the gallery? a bailiff? anybody???

-

“his emotions are spiralling out of control! something must have really frightening him”

maybe 

THE FUCKING MURDER????

athena youre a psychologist; dont you know anything about calming people down or at least putting them at ease? youre gonna put scars on this kid’s scars!

i mean at least Cody Hackins was fairly fearless and defiant about what happened to him and only really broke down once it dawned on him what he’d actually seen. Owen is clearly very, very upset.

-

i passed out *image promptly closes eyes*

-

“poor kid, he's absolutely terrified of something”

KDJFKLDGDGL

“whatever it is, it might be the root of his out of control emotions!”

DSHFA;SLGHOHSO GIRSHG’ 

-

“see, all we got out of this boy is a tale he dreamt up”

fuck off sadmad

-

(sigh) Owen’s on his side, Shisho’s laying down, just get to it already

-

“rotating your thinking about?”

“oh! you mean turning your thinking around!”

“yeah, whatever...”

(SNERK)

-

“like the forehead, perhaps”

is that... just a random location or is it actually going to come true

also, back at the office, Apollo winces and he can’t figure out why

-

oh yeah its definitely gonna come back.

-

WHOA; OK, MANHANDLING 

MANHANDLING, NOT GOOD

STEP AWAY FROM THE ATTORNEY, BLACKQUILL

yeah just fucking manhandle the stressed out anxious girl. you piece of shit.  i knew me being your friend wouldn’t fuckin last.

-

“MOTIVE, OPPORTUNITY, EVIDENCE??? IS THAT ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE YOU STOP BELIEVING IT YOUR CLIENT?!”

to be fuckin fair, cuckoo, thats usually what loses most cases.

-

would phoenix manhandle athena?? would he berate her and shake her into doing her best?? i highly doubt it.

-

“prosecutor blackquill was just giving me a pep talk, thats all!”

athena thats unhealthy

-

legitimately simon’s been nothing but unpleasant this entire time. its fun to watch him wreck sadmad’s shit but he needs to keep the hell away from athena. whatever protective, elder-brotherly instincts he had for her in DD seem to have stayed in DD.

-

man I'm looking back at my previous commentary and i was. i was just so optimistic. how foolish. franziska, bring down your lash upon this foolishly foolish fool.

atcuall dont i bruise like a peach

-

jeez now I'm imagining Super Dad™ Phoenix Wright cross examining Owen with Athena instead and it’s melting my cold, hard heart

-

“unfortunately, i spy nothing of the sort”

again Sadmad acts like if he doesn't see the answer, then it’s nonexistent 

not very monk-y of you, Sadmad.

-

gotta admit, i love this unique murder weapon

ive actually nearly suffocated under soft, cold, gloopy stuff and lemme tell you, its not fun.

-

...i love that simon took that logic-attack for us 

maybe the animators just wanted to play his OH SHIT animation again 

-

i know it looks like i pick on everything but in fact i edit these down. sometimes i take out whole statements because i rationalize them and realize that theyre actually plausible and i let them slide. so just, y’know. if you think I'm just blindly going at it, i am actually giving this game the benefit of the doubt. you just dont see it.

...if you read these

...uh

-

they used the pre-prepped noodles in the fridge. c’mon guys, as athena would say: Andale!

-

“perhaps the victim was simply playing with the cards, and they hold no other meaning”

oh NOW THEY COULD BE UNRELATED TO THE CASE

OF COURSE, NOW THAT IT’S CONVENIENT TO YOU

you sack’a shit

-

nice cliffhanger, kid.

Oh well; I’m partially glad that the poor lil guy can get a rest, and partially upset that his last two surfaces put him through intense anguish. maybe get Uendo drunk and go to the theatre or something, guys. poor baby could use a pick-me-up.

-

n no–– rise from the ashes flashbacks–– RISE FROM THE ASHES FLASHBACKS

THE LUNCHBOXES

SO MANY LUNCHBOXES

AAAAAHHHHhhhhi gotta give bucky a hand; being drunk and riding a skateboard while supporting a tower of bentos isn’t an easy feat

-

ew slurping 

-

and simon extends his douchiness to the guys he's even shafting Athena for.

just, fuckin, lighten the fuck UP simon, CHRIST

-

TIDDIES

seriously tho; we haven’t had a proper boob joke in ages. actually Geiru kinda reminds me of April May...

 Meanwhile we’ve had several testicle references, a drunk guy, and the bloodiest overarching plot the series has ever had. I think we’ve left Ace behind and graduated to Edge Attorney

-

 to be fair the judge could totally be talking about her actual rubber balloons, considering his childlike personality at times. so maybe ITS YOU, SADMAD, WHO’S THE VULGAR ONE!

GET YOUR MIND OUTTA THE GUTTER!!

-

bloooon. i think Drifloon says that, too. Is that a japenese onomatopoeia or something? 

-

ooh he sadMad

heh

i guess its up to simon’s brilliant mind tricks to save us again..?

...yehhhh i knew it

-

...huh. didnt expect that. impressive use of air...sword... skill. 

-

IM NOT A KOORAHEENIST, SHE’S NOT GONNA HEAR ME ANYWAY.

-

i know what theyre building up and yes, i am super excited to see all those balloons pop

-

...i gotta ask tho, why does Athena think those balloon animals are bad?? theyre extremely intricate and they look a lot more like the thing she promised than most of the ones ive seen.

-

aw no the cake disappeared. i want a huge explosion at the end!!

-

“I’ma cut ya, witch!”

...

.....

........

i uh, i have to um,,,,,,, go now

-

SHES GONNA CUT OFF A TIT

GIRD YERSELF ATHENA

-

me, into my DS mic: HOLD IT. Hold IT. Hold it. hold it... hold it... bold it

athena; HOLD IT 

-

simon: athena youre stupid do something. I'm not helping you.

simon: this time I'm going to do something, but god forbid you dont run with it

i dont think we’ve ever had a co counsel add something to the testimony for us before. we’ve had them hint at answers and interrupt trials to get us out of tight spots, but never directly ordering something like that. Guess that proves just how highly BK thinks of Athena’s abilities......

-

ooh the cakes back and there was a pop

im super ready for this

-

shit thats a strong balloon. i wouldn’t advice biting very thing plastic...

-

............

the... fuck???

sadmad: here is what will prove that Geiru IS NOT the murderer!

(geiru reveals buckwheat allergy and ACUAL RED HAND)

how the fuck does that help your case, Sadmad?? We know that the killer used the dough to kill the master by suffocating him with it. Pointing out that she came into contact with the dough, WITH HER HANDS, IS PROVING SHE DID IT.

YOU JUST GOT HER CAUGHT LITERALLY RED-HANDED.

HOW DOES THIS HELP YOUR CASE??????

-

ok well apparently she could die just by being in the room but if we look at how badly her hand has reacted, and is still reacting, Geiru should probably have at least some difficulty talking if “breathing in the flour” was dangerous. If her hand reacted that badly from minor contact, her throat should be shut like a steel trap. what I'm saying is, she’s probably lying about the severity.

-

“As if I would do anything so underhanded”

oh sad-‘trigger my enemies into yielding’-mad, youre hilarious 

-

y’know i just realized, it is a little insensitive of Taifu to make/buy/keep soba around the place. if Geiru is this deadly allergic, he’s risking killing her simply because he can’t give up his precious noodles. thats like living with someone with a deadly peanut allergy and being all “can’t get enough of my PBnJ!!”

-

its time for

Off!

Brand!

Logic!!!!

-

oh. its not. ...ok

-

hang on didnt she say the dough was udon already, or am i misremembering? if she did and everyone just forgot, thats a little sad.

anyway, i guess thats... an alright twist. i still say that saying your witness is allergic to something and showing a reaction on the body part associated with the murder is stupid thing to do.

-

“dont lose your nerve now. keep charging forward or you'll feel my blade at your back”

I'm just gonna let that speak for itself.

-

ah THERES the off brand logic. and we’re finally gonna talk about those fucking noodles in the fridge. its been a long time coming.

-

i like that ‘ramen’ is a third choice every time

-

that was a pretty involved murder. “alright, kill the old man, hmm hmm... make a dish that i’m deathly allergic to to throw of the scent; just gotta get the cooking! make sure Uendo doesn’t wake up and catch me in the act~~ get rid of the dough in a way that is probably time consuming, lalala~ and there! Blooooon, the perfect crime!”

how much time did she have??

-

also how much blood did she lose form that knick on her forehead? if its enough to permeate an entire clump of dough, she should probably need a transfusion.

-

simon: dog pun. have you figured out the twist yet???? DOG PUN, BY THE WAY. JUST SO YOU KNOW.

-

all the balloons are there. its time.

-

seriously, thats gotta be a lot of blood. I'm getting Gingerdead Man flashbacks.

-

“i wanna thank you, simon. without your constant abuse, i wouldn’t have been scared enough to succeed for fear of what would happen if i failed!”

-

...its a bit premature for breakdown animations; the police haven't gotten back to us about the dough...

-

...i didnt like this balloon explosion as much as i thought i was going to. this is kinda just... uncomfortable.

-

you know, she shouldn’t have resorted to murder or blaming the crime on an innocent, but I feel like Taifu should’ve.... I dunno, either Trained her properly or let her down easy instead of forcing her to be a sexy balloon clown.

It’s clear she really, really wanted to succeed her father’s name, (which I'm a little confused about; was he one of Taifu’s students? What is Uendo’s real name then? what is any of their real names...) so I’m sure that if she just practiced enough, she’d probably be able to do what she needed to get to that level of entertainment. And if she couldn’t, letting her down easy and encouraging her to find something she actually liked instead of making her do... um... balloons would probably be a whole lot less nasty.

also wtf uendo; what did whet ever do to you

man all of these people were kind of dicks. except bucky. the guy who came to his trial drunk.

-

Sadmad: Hmm.... upon further deliberation... seeing as you won... I believe I shall afford you a basic sense of human respect.................. 

Athena: thats all I ask, prosecutor sadmahdi!

-

heyy he’s sobered up! or should I say... SOBA’D UP AAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH but seriously i don’t think they’ve said drunk or hungover once in this entire case what the fu

-

“no way... i almost got convicted out of convenience?” you, larry butz, maggey byrde and a shit tonne of other characters in the series. its actually a fairly common occurrence.

-

“he didn’t give her the name because he wanted geiru to find her own calling in life...”

...you know. after foisting a sexy balloon routine on her. to encourage her to quite entertainment. 

obviously Taifu was using the Simon Blackquill approach to encouragement.

“making udon was his way of showing his support of her in her new endeavour”

...what does that... mean

“oh, i’ll make safe dough instead of the stuff THAT KILLS HER to prove that i support her!”

genius

-

“So this entire situation happened because of a misunderstanding? How sad...”

i think you mean,,, hhhh

i hate misunderstanding plots so so much

-

this entire case is just “he was being an asshole to ENCOURAGE you, see!! now you HAVE to forgive him!!”

newsflash: no i dont. you know what works better than fear tactics, threats and coercion? 

BEING ACTUALLY SUPPORTIVE

-

“he probably used some tough love on you so that the shop wouldn’t just go belly up”

I SAID SUPPORTIVE. ARE YOU DEAF???

-

see? athena is being a little misguided but at least she's using a positive -food- to try to accomplish something.

“i’ll make sure its got all the TLC Master Toneido would’ve packed in it, too!”

you got it! one ice-cold, bitter, al-dente bowl with a side of vinegar, comin’ right up!

-

no athena!! brand loyalty!! mr eldoon will never forgive you!!!

-

“do us all proud, bucky”

or else

(flashes air sword)

-

Athena: I wonder if this gave me any experience as a lawyer...

Simon: HAHA WRONG, IF I HADN’T BEEN THERE YOU’D HAVE HAD THE SHIT KICKED OUT OF YOU. YOU SUCK, ATHENA, AND YOU DO EVERYTHING WRONG. FUCK YOU~!

see what annoys me about this is that when I first played Athena, I had some issues with her being too inexperienced to be a proper lawyer, especially with her court-related PTSD which could seriously endanger her clients.

However... Why are they bringing up her lack of experience in the one case (it’s not even a full case) in a game that isn’t even about her? And ignoring all the progress she made in Dual Destinies?

The way they’re talking about it is as if theyre setting up some kind of sequel; ‘you need to improve athena, you need to practice’. Which would have been all well and good for one of the cases in the first run of her own game... but Athena has been and continues to be a side character to Apollo and Phoenix. Rather than this moment coming at a crucial moment in her own game, it comes out of nowhere during a case she got last minute, couldn’t have prepared for, and is abused throughout.

what I'm saying is, the ghosts of DD past has come to haunt us. They introduced Athena too early and are bungling up her character development. Lawyers need a full set of games to let them grow. Just make an actual Apollo Justice 2 or Athena Cykes 1, but don’t insult us by pretending that this five minute shit actually did either of them justice.

-

Simon: I hope you stay shitty so that I can always win

brilliant.

you know, usually when a character is jerk with a heart of gold, that ‘heart of gold’ thing is supposed to show up at the end.

-

i was going to ignore the horrible joke but then Widget said “ROTFL”

what a... great way to end this....... great case

-

and so we close this one off, and for a case about tasty food, it sure left a bitter taste in my mouth.

FA Cup: talking details from the fifth-round pairs

Willy Caballero is too much of increased risk for Manchester City to play in Capital One Cup final Watford may lastly be persuaded to domain full-strength side in last eight and Nabil Bentalebs Tottenham season may now be all but over

1) Citys Caballero is too big a risk for bowl final

With all the focus on Manuel Pellegrinis team selection, the post-match reaction to the heaviest defeat in Manchester Citys Abu Dhabi era largely overlooked the facts of the case that some of the least impressive achievements came from their elderly participates. Martin Demichelis was once a centre-half of high reputation but those periods have legislated now and there is also strong evidence that Pablo Zabaleta, the outstanding right-back in the Premier League a few years ago, is in decline. More than anyone, though, Willy Caballero ever devotes Citys opponents the sense that Pellegrinis team might be susceptible. A City game never looks like it is going to be a stress-free moment when Caballero is choose ahead of Joe Hart and it is essential slightly embarrassing for the clubs partisans that Pellegrini says he will persist with the former Malaga goalkeeper in the Capital One Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday. Caballero saved Oscars penalty but it is beginning to feel like a stunt of the imagination that the Argentinian was signed to give Hart genuine competition. The final is Citys most realistic possibility of silverware and it would be a needless hazard on the part of Pellegrini to start with him at Wembley. Or, to throw it another way, it is fair to say Liverpools boosters will be desperately hoping Pellegrini keeps to his message. Daniel Taylor

2) Bentaleb: undroppable in FA Cup, unpickable in league

Nabil Bentaleb has fad an intriguing situation in Tottenhams squad. The Algerian started 25 tournament tournaments last-place season and was involved in the firstly four members of this campaign, but since then he has formed one fleeting replace form in that challenger plus one replace appearance in the Europa League. In Tottenhams 33 accords in those two rivals and the Capital One Cup compounded a total of 2,970 recreation times, plus stoppage epoch Bentaleb has played 216, or 7.3%, all but 50 of them in August. In the FA Cup, though, he is considered undroppable. This was the third subsequent Cup game which he has started and finished. Of the 360 minutes Spurs have played in the rival( plus stoppages ), he has been on the field for 292, or 81.1%. To be fair, an ankle ligament hurt symbolized Bentaleb was unavailable for collection for a couple of months, but since his return to fitness he has been in the Premier League matchday squad on six reasons, kicking his ends in the stands on five, and actually used for only two minutes, against Palace last month. Quite what realizes his recreation uniquely suitable for the FA Cup remains unknown but Sundays ensue leaves him in a bit of a pickle, as an FA Cup specialist without an FA Cup to play in. Perhaps his conduct in midfield, which was surefooted without being outstanding and allowed Eric Dier to drop into the back four while Toby Alderweireld was rested, might support Mauricio Pochettino to give him a chance during Tottenhams assault on the Premier League title. Neglecting that, theres ever next year. Simon Burnton

Match report: Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Crystal Palace

3) Preserving Payet at West Ham may be difficult

Dimitri Payet recently signed a brand-new contract at West Ham United, importance around PS125, 000 a week, that runs until 2021. Given the Frenchmans dazzling exhibitions, which continued with two goals in Sundays 5-1 hide of Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup, this is particularly astute business from the Boleyn Ground executive. After the fifth-round relationship at Ewood Park Slaven Bilic, the manager, alleged Payet is in the same class as Luka Modric, who he coached when in charge of Croatia. Payet will be 29 next month. This summer is his now-or-never instant to make a move to an nobility Champions League-level club. If he is still at West Ham by 1 September that will be even better business from the association hierarchy. And it will also be considered a sizeable astound. Jamie Jackson

4) Replays are part of a dispute football needs to have

When the great replay debate came into focus at the end of Arsenals goalless draw with Hull, Steve Bruce made a point that messed with all the old stereotypes about a smaller organization going heavyweight rivals back to their plaza. He was entertaining the notion of get instantly to a penalty shootout after the first pair, and whether it might contribute some feeling to the FA Cup if activities such as Saturdays when Hulls effective rearguard war negated Arsenal, exited straight-from-the-shoulder to the roulette of spot-kicks. Then he said the most interesting thing of all: It would grant us a better likelihood. For a director of Bruces experience, and FA Cup background, to come to that resolution surely adds to the discussions of determining whether, and how, to reshape the rivalry. He calculated his crew would have a better chance of drumming Arsenal in fines and penalties shootout after a unyielding away concert than back at the KC Stadium over another 90( or perhaps 120) hours. Bruces overall controversy is footballs planning has changed sufficiently that squidging in replays doesnt genuinely fit with the modern tournament. It is a dialogue about the FA Cup that does need to be had properly. Amy Lawrence

5) When will Watford play a full-strength surface?

So far in the Cup this season Watford have rested a number of actors and Quique Sanchez Flores stimulated six a modification to his side for the 1-0 succes over Leeds. It was position done as much as is Flores was pertained , not a classic play but one that Watford never looked like losing. Odion Ighalo started on the bench, with Troy Deeney playing behind Nordin Amrabat in attack, but with Watford in the quarter-finals and with their Premier League refuge ensure, surely Flores will pick a stronger slope in the past eight. They are now one play from Wembley and have a realistic likelihood of challenging for the Cup. What I like is the flavor I have in the crew, they are calm and positive, replied Flores after the win, when asked to comment on his squad rotation. He may be tempted to modify such an approach in the next round. James Riach

6) Hector a real ability, whether or not Chelsea realise it

Outstanding during a Reading win over West Brom that was overshadowed by the throwing of a coin at Chris Brunt after the game, Michael Hector could be forgiven for being peeved his outstanding contribution to the Championship sides success was overlooked because of some numpty with 50 p too much in his pocket and some serious matter. Signed by Chelsea last September and immediately loaned back to Reading, the languid centre-half has been rewired as a center midfielder since his big break. As one of 33 actors on loan from the Premier League association, whether he will ever feature in the champs first team remains to be determined. I spoke to Michael about playing that persona and said to him if you can develop another fibre to your bow and play in that hampering midfield persona, he can play in the position for Chelsea, said here Reading manager, Brian McDermott, of Hectors superb concert in the centre of the field. I spoke to Chelsea about Michael playing in that persona and they were happy for him to do that. He can play centre-half, he can play hampering midfielder and I thought he was fabulous today. Hes been on loan everywhere a lot of places. He hadnt been playing in the team, but we changed the organizations of the system and hes been superb in discipline. Hector has been on loan at Bracknell Town, Didcot Town, Havant& Waterlooville, Oxford City, Horsham, Dundalk, Barnet, Shrewsbury Town, Aldershot Town, Cheltenham Town, Aberdeen, Reading. Thats 12 sororities. He is 23. Barry Glendenning

7) Iturbe may have shaped Bournemouths effort worthwhile

Eddie Howe will not lose too much sleep about Bournemouths exit from the FA Cup. Seven changes from the Premier League relegation battlers last-place pick added enough and, even if they played well enough to have got something out of video games on another daylight, his post-match observation that they had not lost any points represented the statement in replica. Yet Howe also interpreted he wanted to keep participates match-sharp for their next dozen games and it especially pleased him to visualize Juan Iturbe put in the most productive rendition of his four to appointment. There is little doubting the Roma loanees caliber but his adaptation was never likely to be instant; slew of encouragement could be taken then from his tracking-back to deprive first Bryan Oviedo and then Ross Barkley early on, and some incisive raids from the right flank were a characteristic of the home line-ups first-half accomplishment. I thought he did really well in the first half, Howe articulated. He was a big player for us with his ability to drive with the projectile and counterattack. He carried security threats and it was his best accomplishment for us. He tired a little bit in the second half but overall Im very happy with him. Hes improving all the time; I only realise positive things in the prospects for Juan. Iturbe may not add greatly to Saturdays 71 instants when Bournemouth see Watford this weekend but on this evidence he will soon be are available to make an impact in the tournament. Nick Ames

When the great replay debate came into focus at the end of Arsenals goalless draw with Hull, Steve Bruce made a point that messed with all the old stereotypes about a smaller organization going heavyweight rivals back to their plaza. He was entertaining the notion of get instantly to a penalty shootout after the first pair, and whether it might contribute some feeling to the FA Cup if activities such as Saturdays when Hulls effective rearguard war negated Arsenal, exited straight-from-the-shoulder to the roulette of spot-kicks. Then he said the most interesting thing of all: It would grant us a better likelihood. For a director of Bruces experience, and FA Cup background, to come to that resolution surely adds to the discussions of determining whether, and how, to reshape the rivalry. He calculated his crew would have a better chance of drumming Arsenal in fines and penalties shootout after a unyielding away concert than back at the KC Stadium over another 90( or perhaps 120) hours. Bruces overall controversy is footballs planning has changed sufficiently that squidging in replays doesnt genuinely fit with the modern tournament. It is a dialogue about the FA Cup that does need to be had properly. Amy Lawrence

5) When will Watford play a full-strength surface?

So far in the Cup this season Watford have rested a number of actors and Quique Sanchez Flores stimulated six a modification to his side for the 1-0 succes over Leeds. It was position done as much as is Flores was pertained , not a classic play but one that Watford never looked like losing. Odion Ighalo started on the bench, with Troy Deeney playing behind Nordin Amrabat in attack, but with Watford in the quarter-finals and with their Premier League refuge ensure, surely Flores will pick a stronger slope in the past eight. They are now one play from Wembley and have a realistic likelihood of challenging for the Cup. What I like is the flavor I have in the crew, they are calm and positive, replied Flores after the win, when asked to comment on his squad rotation. He may be tempted to modify such an approach in the next round. James Riach

6) Hector a real ability, whether or not Chelsea realise it

Outstanding during a Reading win over West Brom that was overshadowed by the throwing of a coin at Chris Brunt after the game, Michael Hector could be forgiven for being peeved his outstanding contribution to the Championship sides success was overlooked because of some numpty with 50 p too much in his pocket and some serious matter. Signed by Chelsea last September and immediately loaned back to Reading, the languid centre-half has been rewired as a center midfielder since his big break. As one of 33 actors on loan from the Premier League association, whether he will ever feature in the champs first team remains to be determined. I spoke to Michael about playing that persona and said to him if you can develop another fibre to your bow and play in that hampering midfield persona, he can play in the position for Chelsea, said here Reading manager, Brian McDermott, of Hectors superb concert in the centre of the field. I spoke to Chelsea about Michael playing in that persona and they were happy for him to do that. He can play centre-half, he can play hampering midfielder and I thought he was fabulous today. Hes been on loan everywhere a lot of places. He hadnt been playing in the team, but we changed the organizations of the system and hes been superb in discipline. Hector has been on loan at Bracknell Town, Didcot Town, Havant& Waterlooville, Oxford City, Horsham, Dundalk, Barnet, Shrewsbury Town, Aldershot Town, Cheltenham Town, Aberdeen, Reading. Thats 12 sororities. He is 23. Barry Glendenning

7) Iturbe may have shaped Bournemouths effort worthwhile

Eddie Howe will not lose too much sleep about Bournemouths exit from the FA Cup. Seven changes from the Premier League relegation battlers last-place pick added enough and, even if they played well enough to have got something out of video games on another daylight, his post-match observation that they had not lost any points represented the statement in replica. Yet Howe also interpreted he wanted to keep participates match-sharp for their next dozen games and it especially pleased him to visualize Juan Iturbe put in the most productive rendition of his four to appointment. There is little doubting the Roma loanees caliber but his adaptation was never likely to be instant; slew of encouragement could be taken then from his tracking-back to deprive first Bryan Oviedo and then Ross Barkley early on, and some incisive raids from the right flank were a characteristic of the home line-ups first-half accomplishment. I thought he did really well in the first half, Howe articulated. He was a big player for us with his ability to drive with the projectile and counterattack. He carried security threats and it was his best accomplishment for us. He tired a little bit in the second half but overall Im very happy with him. Hes improving all the time; I only realise positive things in the prospects for Juan. Iturbe may not add greatly to Saturdays 71 instants when Bournemouth see Watford this weekend but on this evidence he will soon be are available to make an impact in the tournament. Nick Ames
