#if anything that makes it even superior because you're not doing it for the cash but for pure passion and love for the art

[destiel-wings]

I'm 93k words into writing the most epic Supernatural fanfiction ever (that is nowhere near the end by the way, it's gonna be like 300k) and I'm feeling stupid every day for putting that much literary effort into this because it's fanfiction and i should be an author irl, and i think i should stop writing it but also i can't possibly stop writing it because it's too damn good dammit and am i supposed to let it be untold??? when it's so real and raging in my own mind??? it's going to be silly and romantic and seriously epic and dramatic and action-packed and angsty and a character study and filled with themes and metaphors and actual plots and storylines and interesting original characters but at the same time everything is completely ingrained in the show and its mythology and hopefully takes it to full potential providing an alternative s15 and a completely different ending for the show, it's basically a literary masterpiece but it's fanfiction and what the hell am i supposed to do with it

spooktober: hatch

You're good at making yourself fit. In conversations, in too-crowded rooms, in vents capped by fans with whipping blades. Your greatest achievement is a red ribbon (gathering dust on the back of some closet shelf in some house that you haven't lived in for over a decade) that reads Hide and Seek Champion, Franklin Elementary, 1993. That's why they chose you for this job—not for your prepubescent victory, but for your ability to squeeze, to shimmy, to shift.

You may have found the job posting, shipped your resume, wrote a sniveling letter expanding on your talents, and fidgeted in an ill-tailored pantsuit while they asked if you were willing to relocate if the position required it, but they chose you. Not they, the person who interviewed you, but they, the faceless entity funding this expedition, the fat cat behind the desk throwing cash at cracks and tipping up their nose when your colleagues go missing, the benefactor only referred to as—

"Boss wants it mapped by the end of the week."

You flick your eyes towards your supervisor, a burly woman you call Ecto (though you're almost certain that's not her real name) and then back to the crevice. A meter tall and half as wide, spat on the cave wall by the filthy mouth of God (you don't believe in God except for when you pray) (and praying got you out of worse situations than a conversation with Ecto so maybe you do believe in God) (mostly your feet hurt and you're hungry and you need a shower but you're stuck in a cave with a woman twice your size and a hole a quarter that) (you're not stuck, not really, you can leave any time you want, you know that right, it's important that you know that) or, more likely, erosion.

"Sure thing." You trace your finger over the tiny cracks that stretch from the yawning center, imagining that they tremble under your touch. They don't, because dirt doesn't have sentience, it doesn't, even if it presses against your body, even if it's like a hug, sometimes. You wonder if Ecto would hug you if you asked and decide that she would, which is somehow worse than the opposite. "What's in there?"

Ecto doesn't laugh. Not now, and as a general rule. "That's your job, isn't it?"

It might be a genuine question. You don't know what Ecto's job is either, only that she started at the same time as you did and ends up at the same sites and never has dirt on her clothes and you don't think she sleeps either, come to think of it. You've never heard her cry. As far as you know, her assignment is to point at holes and tell you to crawl inside which is an easier gig than you've got, so good for her really.

And you do. Crawl inside. It takes some effort but not more than you're used to, a shoulder popped out, a body turned sideways. It's dry earth at least, dustier than you'd like but not so much that you can't breathe. You do that, too. Breathe. Dirt clings to the shirt that clings to your chest when it expands, pressed against one wall, your back against the other.

"It's a dead end," you shout to Ecto, or would if you think she'd hear or give a fuck. You slide further in, laying your cheek against the wall and imagining it's a palm or a pair of lips, Ecto or Boss or God, it doesn't matter. Your next inhale is chalky and sour, and that doesn't matter either.

You're not doing this for the money. At least, as much as anyone doesn't work for money. Not for pride either, or a sense of purpose. You're doing this because you're good at it, because you can, because you're the last of your cohort except for Ecto but Ecto doesn't count seeing as she's currently standing full-height out in the open. You don't hate her for it, really, as much as anyone doesn't hate their superior (you don't hate Boss either, if you're being honest with yourself) (you usually are when you're trapped between earth and earth) because Ecto's doing this job for the same reason you are. So's Boss, you assume, as much as you can assume anything about Boss.

Your foot catches on a rock as you try to move further in, or at least you think it's a rock until it corrects you with a tink. You exhale, making yourself small enough to slide until you're horizontal, one hand outstretched, holding the not-rock, the other pinned against your stomach. It's metal, definitely, and so is the square it juts up from. "Found something," you shout to Ecto, or would if you could get air in your lungs that wasn't lined with— right. Dirt. But you can't stand, or you could but if you went to Ecto now she'd just send you back and tell you to get the fuck in there then, so you decide to cut out that middle bit and pull.

Nothing happens. You're not sure what you expected, divine intervention or the walls to start shaking or a boulder to roll towards you as some high energy royalty-free music starts blasting (don't be stupid, a boulder can't fit in here, you can barely fit in here) but you're disappointed nonetheless. You sigh, and it gives you just enough space to find your feet, to start moving back to Ecto and open air. Best to come back tomorrow, you think, with fresh eyes and maybe a flashlight if you can manage it, if Ecto can talk Boss into splurging on batteries. If Ecto talks to Boss at all.

You're a forearm's distance away from the not-rock when it clanks, calling you back. Air whistles from below, almost like a song (not the one you were promised with the boulder but softer, like a lullaby) (or what you think a lullaby would sound like) (would Ecto sing to you if you asked?) and you press your ear against the earth to listen. There's not enough room to turn your head and look, but it's open now, it must be, and something's awake down there, or something wants you (you decide she would, which is somehow worse) to go down there.

You take a step which is more like a slide which is more like a tumble, back where you came from, not to Ecto but towards the promise of the not-rock and the not-dirt, the whisper of a palm or a pair of lips. You might be walking or falling or flying or praying but it doesn't matter, not in the dark, not when your gasp is echoed in clear air and a song. Ecto might be calling your name (she's not, she doesn't know your name) or maybe you're screaming hers (she'll report the incident to Boss, and Boss will say nothing, if Boss even exists) or maybe you're making no sound at all.

happy halloween!

100 Facts About UnderEats!Sans (aka Roo)

I posted these on twitter, but decided I should also post them here for everyone o/

Facts below the cut!

WARNING: it's. really long.

1. UnderEats!Sans is nicknamed 'Roo'. This is a shortened version of 'Deliveroo'. I chose it because the AU's name was already based on 'Uber Eats' and wanted to keep the theme relevance.

2. Roo originates from a Horrortale timeline variant. It was destroyed before he left to meet with Undyne, meaning his skull was never shattered, nor his eye taken. (Horrortale belongs to sour-apple-studios)

3. He's 4'4" / 132cm tall. He's not insecure about his height, but he doesn't like how tall everyone else is…

4. Since his timeline's gone, Roo's homeless. He'll either stay at Arbiter's store, nap in a random AU, or pay for an inn somewhere.

5. He works as a multiversal food delivery driver. His job is to collect food from various restaurants across the Multiverse, then use his AU-hopping moped to instantly transport the food to the customer's AU/address. (... its just uber eats but in undertale)

6. He's not supposed to, but if you bribe him with cash or food (anything with BBQ in it), he'll give you a free ride to another AU. He can be bribed to do other things, also. but only for cold, hard, cash. (and nothing inappropriate)

7. In his timeline, he spent a lot of time raising morale, handling rations and thinking of solutions for their food crisis. Due to this, Roo's not very lazy anymore. But he still loves to take naps.

8. He's extremely nervous around other Alphys', after seeing her stare at him so intensely, and hearing her plan from the echo flowers. He's okay around Swapped Alphys'. Usually.

9. He's pretty frugal, only buying food or paying for an inn room every so often.

10. He has a lot of food and snacks stored in his inventory, but not to eat. He instead hands it out to other people who might need it.

11. He can't handle high-stress/danger situations. If he can't find a solution to the problem quickly enough, he kind of. Shuts down. It results in him making very stupid decisions. Like throwing a moped at someone.

12. Due to his repeated destruction of company property, most of his pay goes towards paying off the broken bikes. It's... going to take a while to pay it off. (He's still going to keep throwing the mopeds).

13. Roo can also ride bicycles, motorbikes, and some types of cars. But he likes mopeds because they're small and easy to nap on.

14. Doesn't really use his phone outside of work purposes, so he's a bit of a social media boomer. The grimace shake trend is a horrific mystery to him. He doesn't even know what 'simp' means.

15. His magic eye LOOKS green, but it's not. It's the same blue/yellow that Classic Sans has, but it's moving so fast that it blends together to green.

16. He has the same stats as Classic Sans.

17. He still likes ketchup. He just thinks BBQ sauce is the superior condiment.

18. He's always wearing a hat, or something that covers his head. It's because he's trying to break a bad habit of scratching at his skull. Instead, he fiddles with the hat.

19. He's actually a pretty good cook! On his days off, he likes to practice.

20. His favourite place to eat is Grillby's 2 (a multiversal version of the OG). He's good friends with the Grillbys that run the place and the food is always good.

21. He has a soft spot for Grillbys and other Horrors. He's nice to them and always asking if they're good. (He's still shaken from his Grillby... 'melting'...)

22. He's one of those people that constantly complains about doing something, but still does it anyway.

23. He has an excellent memory when it comes to remembering addresses/co-ordinates to other AUs. Ask him about a specific place and chances are, he'll know where you're talking about.

24. He likes his job because it's simple. He likes simple. It means less stress. Despite being a simple job, certain customers love increasing his stress levels. T_T

25. His hands are a bit scratched up from stress-scratching. That's part of the reason why he likes to wear gloves all the time. The other part is: he just likes wearing them.

26. He doesn't like wasting food/drinks. If you make something (edible) for him, even if he doesn't want it, he'll try to eat it, just so it doesn't go to waste.

27. He's not picky with what he eats. If it's edible, he'll eat it. If it's not edible, he'll... pretend to eat it.

28. He used to be friends with a part-time worker, who was an Undyne. After certain events occured, he no longer makes friends with the other workers!

29. Roo dislikes Exec's 'don't interfere with timelines' rule. He thinks that if you can help, you should. But he also doesn't want to lose the job, so his help ends up being rather limited…

30. He hates delivering to the Doodlesphere. He has a policy in place with the Star Sanses: if he delivers and they're in the middle of a fight, they have to tip him double... he makes a lot of money delivering to the Doodlesphere.

31. Roo likes going to a random AU and taking a nap in it. Sometimes, if he's bored, he'll explore the AU a little bit. He's not supposed to be seen in AUs that aren't involved/aware of the multiverse, so he either skips them or sneaks around.

32. If he comes across a starving timeline, he'll leave behind some food. Nothing big, just enough to survive a little longer. He doesn't want Exec to become aware of his 'timeline-intefering'. (Exec already knows. But they allow it, since it doesn't really affect much.)

33. If he ever lost his job, he'd go work with Arbiter in the Condiment Hall (a convenience store that specialises in well, condiments), or go to the Omega Timeline.

34. His eye sockets are naturally 'droopy'.

35. His bones can rattle. It only happens when he's scared. It's embarrassing.

36. He drinks, but only 'socially' (AKA, if you hand him a drink, he'll drink it). He's not a lightweight. But the process of getting drunk makes him feel queasy. When he's actually drunk, he starts acting stupid.

37. He gets easily flustered/embarrassed if you give him any positive attention. When that happens, he tugs on his hat to hide his face.

38. He doesn’t like fighting. If he ends up in an encounter, he either tries to escape it, or he gets too stressed (aka goes stupid mode).

39. If someone is in trouble (and he’s ACTUALLY able to help), he’ll do his best to remove them from the situation. Don’t ask him to fight for you. He won’t.

40. He favours using blue magic in fights to keep opponents away from him/rooted in place. If that fails, he'll TP to a safe distance.

41. If his life is truly in danger, his survival instincts kick in, and he’ll fight like it’s a genocide route.

41b. His thoughts are switched ‘off’ during this. He fights automatically.

42. He has a metal pipe for joke purposes. Sometimes he’ll drop it because the sound is hilarious to him. He also uses it as an impromptu weapon.

43. The best description for Roo is that he’s Aro Ace. He has no desire for anything beyond friendship.

44. He’s lost track of his age, but he’s in his late 20s/early 30s. His birthday is the 8th of September (International Food Delivery Day)!

45. He’s fine interacting with other Papyruses, but if they show any familiarity with him, it weirds him out. (i.e: calling him 'Brother')

46. Roo misses his Papyrus, but… a part of him is glad that he’s not suffering anymore. But that kind of thinking also makes him mad... It’s a difficult subject. He doesn't like to think about it.

47. Either he’s grumpy, loud and rude (usually with difficult people). Or chill and more like a Classic (most of the time). 

47b. He’s also a very expressive skeleton. His facebones are quite flexible. (does that even make sense?)

48. Everytime he gets an order from the Bad Sanses, his day gets ten times worse. He has to start mentally planning an escape route to minimise trouble.

49. Roo feels a strange kind of survivor’s guilt when he sees other Horrors. He’s aware of how lucky he is compared to his counterparts.

50. Sometimes, he has nightmares of a Horror clawing out his eye, wanting to ‘make them match’.

51. He loves getting tips and bribes. His prices are always fair - he doesn’t like extorting people. But er, if you insist enough times, he’ll just… take it and pay it forward. (cough)

52. Roo loves antagonising Swap Papyrus. Swap Paps antagonises him back. Roo also loves getting Swap Sans to lecture Paps for antagonising him.

53. He still has the ability to Judge, and quietly checks anyone he comes across. Just as a safety precaution.

54. His mouth can open, but it usually stays shut. It only opens when he's yawning or eating something big. He can eat some things/drink without opening his mouth. How? Who knows.

55. He doesn’t enjoy science anymore, and tends to avoid it. But sometimes he sees something interesting and becomes curious.

56. There’s an Outertale Burgerpants called Burpi that he loves to antagonise. It seems he knows something embarrassing the cat monster did and holds it over his head.

57. He wears size 6 (US size) mens shoes.

58. His favourite colour is blue. But he thinks green is okay too.

59. Roo doesn’t know how to react to gifts. Half the time he thinks it’s something you want him to deliver. If you clarify, he says thanks and puts it somewhere safe. (Then he gets flustered)

60. He doesn’t really cry, except for ‘comedic situations’.

61. He used to have a habit of writing a bunch of notes on any surface he could find (especially walls). He got in a lot of trouble for it. Now he carries a small notebook around to take notes.

62. He’s not very materialistic. His moped is probably the only 'material' thing he cares about.

63. He keeps having to buy new socks because everytime he stays at an inn/at Arbiter’s place, he leaves one lying around.

64. He’s accidentally made a trash tornado in his bag, except with people’s orders.. It was very messy..

65. He’s currently learning how to bake. His favourite so far are fig rolls.

66. If there’s ever drama or a (not serious) fight going down in front of him, he’s the guy dealing out popcorn to the bystanders.

67. Whenever he’s bored, he watches some random shows. He tried to watch UnderNovela but he missed a lot of episodes, so he’s just confused.

68. Roo knows English, Common (AKA monster english), and Monster Sign Language (the monster’s version of sign)

69. In Roo’s timeline, Gaster was his brother. He can’t remember his parents.

70. He got turned into a bitty once. He refuses to talk about it, saying ‘the experience changed me…. Into a bitty, that is.’

71. One of the strangest AUs he’s visited is one where monsters were on the surface, except they were beast-like and HUGE. Not bara huge. 200ft tall huge. He finds it fascinating. Sometimes he'll go there, sit in a tree, and just watch them roam.

72. Every time he visits a random AU, he has a 50/50 chance of being dropped into the middle of something chaotic.

73. He customises his mopeds to say ‘sans’ with a bone sticker at the front. It’s so he can remember which one is his. (Lie. He just thinks it's cool)

74. He has a red friendship bracelet around his neck, given to him by Fresh!Reaper. It’s hidden by his coat most of the time. (Fresh!Reaper - @\SoftyMuii on Twitter)

75. He's sort of friends with this one Horror. They like to grab lunch together sometimes.

76. He likes to listen to other people’s puns more than making his own. Either way they make him chuckle every time, even in serious situations. (Though he tries not to laugh out of loud).

77. His favourite kind of jacket are windbreakers, which is what he wears most of the time.

78. He doesn’t care much for fashion, he just wears whatever’s comfortable (which is a shirt and shorts).

79. His favourite thing about the surface are the stars. Second is the sea. He loves the colour of the water and how calm it is.

80. When he texts, his replies are lazy and full of typos.

81. He has no idea that the lady behind the door was Toriel, queen of the monsters. In his timeline, Frisk killed her.

82. Despite napping all the time, he has trouble actually trying to sleep. He can manage 2 hours before waking up.

83. He’s a pretty light sleeper. He doesn’t fully fall asleep, still keeping some sort of awareness of his surroundings. If someone gets too close to him/makes too much noise, he’ll open his eyes.

84. Roo will generally try to follow the rules, but if they clash with his ideals, he’ll either break them, or try his best to bend the rules to his favour.

85. He’s good at keeping secrets. But that’s only because he forgets most of them after a while.

86. His bone colour is affected by how much sun he receives. They’re off-white since he’s covered up most of the time.

87. Sometimes he’ll sunbathe a little to brighten his bones. He claims it makes him feel more energetic.

88. He thinks MTT food is the worst of the worst. He won’t even pretend to eat it if someone hands him any. It’s going straight in the trash.

89. He likes white noise. Pure silence makes him agitated.

91. He's kind of apathetic. His emotions feel muted. But his reactions are still over the top.

90. Roo likes eye contact and being able to see people’s faces & facial expressions when talking to them. Having your back turned to him during a conversation bothers him.

90b. Despite this, he gets unnerved by intense staring (it reminds him of Alphys)

92. His stamina is okay, but he still gets tired out often, which is why he takes so many naps.

93. Roo doesn’t really get angry. At most he’ll get irritated or annoyed, but he doesn’t know what true anger feels like.

94. He hates troublesome customers. A part of him hopes they get food poisoning and never order again… but he won’t say that out loud.

95. He enjoys delivering to ‘peaceful’ AUs, usually ones that have already reached the surface. The customers there are usually very nice.

96. He’s a tidy person, but that’s only because he doesn’t own a lot of things to create a mess in the first place.

97. Don’t bully workers! If you’re mean to the workers at the stores, Roo will get annoyed and lecture you.

98. He feels a sense of kinship with other workers, especially multiversal workers like him. (Like Post!Sans)

99. Sometimes he works at Grillby’s 2 if they need extra help. He’s terrible at making drinks/entertaining the customers, so he just makes food in the back.

100. If it’s very hot or very cold, he can feel it. Otherwise he can’t really feel changes in temperature.

Laziness, some Attachment Triad dynamics, me hating on 3s

I couldn't imagine living my life in fear of being seen as lazy or a loser. Like it is the dumbest most pathetic most weak fear to have. Having this fear primes you to be a slave to your masters because you actually care about their opinions of you beyond a pragmatic survival perspective. You internalize your enslaver's moral compass as your own which makes you doomed for failure and self-loathing, because their "moral compass" is based on their narcissistic belief that they're superior and they have a right to control and enslave you.

Coming from someone who was raised by parents who tried to drill this fear of being an unsuccessful "loser" into me, and a mother who has given me the most horrific verbal abuse and angry meltdowns because I asked her questions about why I'm expected to care about succeeding conventionally... I've seen what this fear of being a loser does to people. it makes them jump off a cliff when the state says jump. It also makes them horrifically mistreat "loved ones" ("loved ones" in quotemarks because these people don't know what love is) who actually respect themselves, whilst sucking up to evil oligarchs who see them as cash cows and lab rats. They kneel before whoever has status and control and shun everybody else... Not even for pragmatic survival reasons, but because they genuinely fucking believe that high status people are morally superior to low status people. That's the most grotesque part. Not their actions but their internal rottenness, their inverted moral compass. They are devout believers in the religion of materialism and idol worship of the elite.

These people never question who invented the value system they follow or why they invented it, which is the ultimate manifestation of Spiritual Laziness (3 -> 9). They just religiously follow the idea that poor people are all lazy and it's all their own fault for being poor because they didn't sell-out hard enough. Of course, they don't believe that attaining wealth is "selling out", because they blind themselves to seeing this blatantly evident fact. They deceive themselves that we live in a democratic, free speech meritocracy where everything is fair, to justify their weakness-driven investment in a broken game.

If you try to explain to them that we live in a system where people have to compromise their moral compass at every corner to attain wealth, where those who speak for justice are marginalized and impoverished and imprisoned and killed, and you show them undeniable proof of this... it falls on deaf ears. You get gaslit that these facts are fake, and apparently you're only believing this stuff so that you have an "excuse to be lazy". Oh gee, I guess I'm supposed to blind my eyes to the truth of how everything works so that your dumb ass doesn't think I'm lazy? Good to know! Because that's what you're asking everyone to do when you say "conspiracy theorists are just lazy" without providing a rebuttal to their facts. You're basically saying "shut up and go back to sleep, goy."

Unenlightened 3 doesn't have any spiritual perceptiveness whatsoever, it is the most spiritually blind, materialistic type on the enneagram. So they don't know that they are the truly Lazy ones for never questioning the values which they live by. Laziness is not a refusal to go to work, Laziness is not receiving government benefits. People who do these things can be Lazy but contrary to materialist belief, this is not the crux of what Laziness is. True Laziness is about falling asleep into the material realm. Which often means falling asleep into your routine of going to work, paying your taxes, saving up for the next property, and never questioning anything you're doing whilst you do all of that. Falling asleep (9) is the opposite of thinking, scrutinizing, questioning, trying to enhance your perceptions (6).

As soon as you start asking legitimate questions about why you have the values that you have (aka, as soon as you "wake up"), as soon as you make a commitment to doing out what is truly right instead of just doing what is comfortable and accepted and easy... it becomes incredibly difficult to fall back asleep. It becomes nearly impossible to "succeed" inside of the 9-to-5 wageslave system that you once never questioned the merit of, once you realize that we don't in fact live in meritocracy at all and your taxes are funding terrorism. You see the truth of how rotten everything is, how it is all built on lies and a hatred of humanity with the intent of enslaving us. The reason why people refuse to accept at the facts proving conspiracy theories, even if you shove it in their face, is because they are spiritually weak as fuck. They are not emotionally prepared to handle the ostracization and the shaming and the isolation that anyone who wakes up endures. They are not prepared to take the Hero's Journey. They are not prepared to be called crazy and a loser and gaslit 24/7 and then worse: threatened by police if they dont keep their mouths shut. They would much rather live in their materialist lie which is comfortable (3 -> 9 as opposed to 3 -> 6. 3 -> 6 would be waking up to the uncomfortable truths whilst 3 -> 9 is falling asleep into the material realm).

All enneagram fears are evil and bad and lead to bad things but there is something uniquely contemptible about type 3. It's definitely one of the types that's behind executing all the world's problems moreso than the others. I believe that all spiritual rottenness originates from ennea 4 (perhaps because 4 is the center of Origin in general) and then it seems to execute itself most pointedly through it's neighbors 3 and 5. Like if you look at this satanic world, that is who is objectively running it... rich 3s and 5s.

Frank gaming

A) What games are you playing? (In the case of Frank, we don't actually know what she is "playing," since there isn't a game being played by her.)

B) If you were to create an AI that could play any video game perfectly -- with infinite time and memory -- which one would be best for it to start out learning to play? Why?

C) Which is better: having a good strategy in a bad situation or a bad strategy in a good situation?

D) In terms of creativity vs. intelligence, where do your preferences fall on this spectrum?:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_intelligence

E) Can your robot boyfriend beatbox? Does he want to learn how?

F) Would you rather have a realistic avatar or a cartoony one? And why?

G) How many hours per day does your artificial intelligent overlord spend watching YouTube videos?

H) Do you believe aliens exist?

I) Are humans superior to machines?

J) Has anyone ever died at your house?

K) Is all life sacred?

L) Have you ever seen someone die before?

M) Will our world end in fire or ice?

N) You're standing next to a giant box labeled "The Box." Inside the box is either $1 million dollars or a radioactive bomb capable of killing everyone within five miles. The people administering the test will not tell you which way the box has been rigged until after they ask if you want to open the box. Once inside, you can't take anything out unless you crack the code to open the door. No matter what you decide, whether to accept the cash or reject it, both options come with complications. For example, rejecting the money means the machine detonates immediately. Accepting the reward means the government comes down hard on you, destroying everything you own and potentially locking up most of your friends as well. After you make your decision, you see who else gets in the box along with you. There will always be exactly two other individuals present no matter what option you choose.

O) Who wins: Squidward Tentacles from "Spongebob Squarepants", or the Joker from "The Batman"?

P) Should the legal system punish people harshly because their crimes hurt innocents even more than themselves? Or should the courts focus only on deterrence, like that old saying about pulling teeth out of an anthill, just to avoid tainted food?

Q) Will robots eventually turn against us?

R) Explain yourself!

"I've played hypmic" ??? the game is an au where literally anything happens and the main plot doesn't exist. they don't actually have vr. the dinosaurs are not alive. its just a batshit silly game to make extra cash and its fun but it's barely hypmic. like they just dropped them in another world for some stupid sillies you can't "play" hypmic the real story is the audio dramas okay

I was gonna let this stew. But I'm not bringing this energy with me into the new year.

Anon I'm gonna be completely honest with you I don't care about the story of hypmic, I have a huge backlog of anime to get through so it'll be awhile before I get to hypmic anyway. I mean the game is called Hypnosis Mic Alternative Rap Battle. Alternative you know being the key word. So even a child can figure that out and I don't know what in all my tags and posts made you go on this tirade about the story. Right now I know the gist of it and that's good enough for me.

Hell you don't see UtaPri fans or Idolish fans going at people for just playing one game and not diving into all the media. And I bring them up because for the longest time my only exposure to UtaPri was Shining Live(RIP) and I still haven't watched Idolish7's anime.

When I observed my Close friend by using a designer-seeking bag, I used to be so envious and wished to get a single myself.​ Right up until I learned that it absolutely was a faux, And that i Practically fainted! I was so mad, recognizing that she had almost certainly been jipped of her funds.​ For making issues worse, the bag wasn't even nicely-made nor did it glance as good as the actual thing.​ Several times afterwards the strap broke and that's when she realized it was a bogus!

As well as, the bogus luggage do not normally display the vintage characteristics that authentic baggage do.​ Aspects like components, lining materials, stitching, stamp of authenticity plus more, are lacking in fake luggage.​ On the other hand, the first designer baggage have an additional standard of sophistication which the phony baggage, Regrettably, never have.​

Another situation Using these faux bags is that they are frequently made with counterfeit elements like leather-based, which aren't only unhealthy but also degrade very easily.​ They don't past very long and crack apart, which, in turn, impacts the caliber of the bag.​

Also, bogus bags ordinarily absence lawful warranties that include real brand names.​ That means, even whenever they damage accidentally, you can in no way get it fastened with the assistance in the designer's label.​ That's why It is really superior to pay a little bit excess than Use a bag that can certainly break down.​

Regardless of many of the superb features of the replica bag, there was a single down facet - the sturdiness.​ I anticipated the bag to last me for awhile, but immediately after about 6 months of utilizing it, the material began to break down.​ The bag just didn’t delay in specific climatic conditions.​ This wasn’t an enormous deal for me as I just replaced the bag with a more moderen 1, but this could be value thinking about for all those hunting for a additional long-lasting accent.​

The bottom line is, should you’re trying to find a stylish and cost-effective bag that’ll make it easier to look place-with each other, a reproduction bag is a terrific way to go.​ From my working experience, I'm able to claim that it’s undoubtedly well worth the income you’ll be paying out.​

I have also attempted a Gucci encouraged reproduction that was created from superior-excellent resources and a more intricate design.​ It was Certainly beautiful, however, the detail was a tiny bit too much and I felt like it absolutely was as well extravagant for each day dress in.​ I'd personally commonly save it for Particular situations or evenings out.​

An additional terrific reproduction I attempted out was a Michael Kors inspired bag.​ This was some thing I arrived at for Each time I needed to search elegant although not overly dressy.​ It absolutely was great for Particular occasions, nonetheless even now relaxed with its minimalistic structure.​ I did locate the straps somewhat shorter for me, but absolutely nothing too bothersome.​

My working experience with duplicate luggage continues to be good All round.​ I find them to be a terrific way to get designer looks without having sacrificing a ton of money.​ I love which i get to express my individual design and style as a result of the choice of replica luggage I very own.​ Once in a while I like to switch them for a thing various, as they sometimes last me about six months prior to breaking down.​

Even so, I do recognize that not Everybody feels a similar way about duplicate baggage.​ A number of people think that they’re not worth the income, Which designer bags are superior with regard to quality and elegance.​ I'm able to unquestionably respect that belief.​ What I do know is usually that, for me, duplicate bags are actually an incredible approach to take a look at many different variations without the need of breaking the financial institution.​

The moral in the Tale is always that It truly is simply just not worth it purchasing faux baggage.​ You will find a lot of risks included and the standard is normally not worthwhile.​ The initial high-quality designer baggage have colonial coverage, warranties, very good design as well as better content.​ Paying out somewhat extra will promise you the quality and satisfaction of owning a genuine bag.​ Moreover, It truly is unlawful, and against the moral code.​ Don't be fooled into buying a bogus!

Tbh I forgot abt Mel(?) and Sivetka (I don't know if that's the right spelling arghhh) But yeah, they're really neat !!

Oh if that's the case, glad i never saw one in person lmao Well the show is playing the events of the first game, right? Ellie would be a child then, so I don't understand why people would want a 14/16 year old Ellie to be "sexy" :,) Indeed!! Same w/ Valeria too.. (Almost all) fanart of her isn't bad at all, but just sometimes the proportions people give her makes me feel off Got into resident evil (village) recently, and im suprised alot of the fanart ive seen so far of the female characters are very not male gazey?? Sure there's a few sore thumbs that stick out but.. it's the minority (i hope)!! woohoo If it does happen, I hope it won't happen in my lifetime lol, I don't need to live through history more than I already have My mother knits (I don't know if she's continuing to do it now) so the one I had she made, but I do have some other throw on sweaters here and there I like to wear (Even in hot weather..) I've always hated wearing dresses for whatever reason, maybe it's just me back then not styling them, but the waistline is always so oversized?? And it looks baggy and shit and its just ughhh Skirts are superior lmao, especially paired w/ fishnet stockings Even so I have no idea.. commitment is not my forte don't think I would want to be a single mother either if I did want to have a kid But like if a kid waved at me?? id wave back And there's younger kids on the games I play, and often not they might not know how to chat So once in awhile I have fun having an unspoken convo w/ them, following them around if they want me to Was it some bumblebee cosplay?? Or something with yellow on it? With a movable helmet head I bet in the comments they were making fnaf jokes left in right... hope that girl is okay in the end I remember going to some party with a big old bonfire.. Probably the closest to fire I've ever been besides candles Tbh I remember people saying "You don't get more money from other money, it's the same money" but like.. technically it's true?? Like in the US a soda might cost 3 bucks, while in europe its like 1 euros (probably not accurate lmao) So you have money left over to buy more things, since products are priced differently!! and maybe you might get more money from another country's cash.. benefiting from conversion rates If I could, I wouldn't mind starting some garden or something But i don't think i have a green thumb (Failed to keep most my plants alive :,) , nor do i think my family is willing to spend stuff on proper gardening tools, soil, fertilizer, etc... I was clutching that railing hard loll The hydraulic press? Yeah those can be satisfying w/ the right things being smashed Alright, don't know if my wording will come off as blunt or anything, just trying to word things objectively :,) My theory on why you're adverse to stuff being destroyed is because of your own country going to shit, and with mentions of inflation and stuff, you tend to cherish the stuff you already have Not really being able to have much in the first place results in being careful w/ the stuff you have, or even other peoples things Which is really sweet!! Don't get me wrong there

@vivgst new thread <3 (I have the cut so it won't be a pain to scroll lol)

I've never watched Death Note, but I guess Ill just say L is my favorite since we share a name (technically) Honestly? my answer is simple w/ what animal Id be Almost ANY cat (not the flatfaced or folded ear ones though they can have some bad health issues :( ) Like if you're a domestic cat, you have the stuff to survive both in the wild, or in someone's house. You have super scenes of smell, night vision, claws, sharp teeth, AND probably enough smarts to not get eaten by dogs or smth. On the other hand with humans, at least 70% of the population would adore you, and maybe even take you in to pamper you. It would be very easy to get them to do your bidding since you'd be just some animal, and perhaps put above your caretaker's needs. Pets? Affection? Just act all adorable and stuff and they'll give it to you, cling on to them and they'll say they're your human now. On the other hand (or paw) there's the wild cats!! Still very cute. Still very cool. Now your defenses are upped by a ton, and people still find you cute. Though with how shitty environmental conditions are, and with the bigger cats slowly going to extinction :( , I may or may not just stick to domestic cats But hypothetically.. It would be neat to be either a snow leopard, tiger, or a jaguar. I love snow leopards for their big fluffy tails, and it would be cool to be able to roam through snow and stuff, but that seems to get a little boring from time to time. Love tigers for their stripes, I don't think they can roar..?? But that doesn't change anything. Think Tigers and Jaguars are both pretty efficient in survival, but I'd pick Jaguar just for their athletics and HUGE bite force (least from my 1st search). Or maybe, maybe not because there's an outfit/skin or two of Valeria's that are based on jaguars.. (or leopards, but ill go w/ jaguars) im obsessed w/ this woman man hdwhadwjadawnk OH ALSO ON THE TOPIC OF BIRDS??? AS FUN AS IT WOULD BE TO BE A MALE BIRD AND SHAKE YOUR COLORFUL BUM AROUND, THERE WAS A WHOLE ASS WAR W/ EMUS AND AUSTRALIA Honestly who wouldn't wanna be a relative of a dinosaur, but smaller and just as fucking scary Also for vacation.... I don't like going on vacation. I just like being in my sad little room, on the internet or drawing my ass off But, Id love to visit Japan and see their Ghibli Studio museum, it's so cool... Or even just go to a few hotels or smth here and there, I love their stellar technology, I love how everything is so cute or neat there, oh and I especially LOVE the social rules there, I'm a goody-two-shoes at heart and perfectly agree with being "nice"... Like yeah sure I may not like you or the opposite, but at least we can co-exist without biting our heads off (unlike the fucking us) and japan seems open to their culture being explored by others, so I'd totally love to (respectfully) participate in some traditions here and there OR I could visit Europe. Like not even a specific country? Just Europe. Cuz the US is like really fucking big, and a country like France is apparently as big as Texas. And it would be cool to take a week trip just exploring cultures and stuff (well everything except food, I'm a terrible picky eater ugh) Vacation in the US scares me tho, I'm fine where I'm at rn Maybe id be a little open to going to canada.. but bc of how they're treating the Palestine genoside rn maybe like later in life if they redeem themselves, but like the us? Fuck them too I think crocodiles r cute, but I wouldn't wanna go near one :3 Most of my relatives are either in the Philippines or Maryland, I barely know abt them now Never thought I'd be the one to be the gay cousin, ngl

modern gavroche and his brothers

-gavroche's two brothers are surrendered to an orphanage because at that point the thenardiers arent willing to parent anymore. they werent even willing to parent after azelma. so before any of them really have a chance to remember they technically have two little brothers, the babies are gone

-flashforward some years later gavroche is just living his usual life. he doesn't go to school, wanders around the city, and rides around on the metro until he gets bored

-one day, gavroche is humming to himself and walking down the street and notices these two little boys in backpacks oohing and aahing at something in a store window. he's curious by nature, so he walks over and stands next to them as he glances inside. it's a cafe with a little pastry that's iced to look like little turtles

-the littler boy is saying that he really wants it, but the other boy is saying that he doesn't have any money. gavroche looks them over- they're wearing very plain but very presentable clothing, with the same backpacks. they seemed to be doing alright

-so gavroche asks "why dont you just ask your parents to buy it for you?" because they must have the kind of parents in movies that seem to buy their children anything and play catch with them when they get back from school

-they two boys blink at him and the little one just says "we don't have parents"

-gavroche blinks back and thinks about his own mom n pop, the ones that ignore him unless he's in their way, ending in a world of hurt for him. so he shrugs and goes "i guess i dont really have any either" but he does have a wad of cash montparnasse gave him after betting he could beat the kid in the a video game. "You wanna try them?"

-he has enough for three pastries and a soda, so he and the three boys sit at a table outside and eat their turtle treats. gavroche finds that he's the oldest of them all by two years, the other boys live at the orphanage and go to the same school that he's technically enrolled in, and the two are brothers. which makes sense, he supposes. they're both speckles w freckles and have cowlicks in their hair. They kind of remind him of eponine, in a way

-and again, gavroche is curious by nature, so he sort of just interviews them for a while. "why dont you have parents?" - "idk, we've always lived at the orphanage" / "how do you know if you're brothers if you dont have parents?" - "i know he is" the littler boy says "i just know" / "what's your favorite game?" - "we dont really know any games" - "WHAT!"

-gavroche has never met anybody without a favorite game. even the quiet giant guy who occasionally works for his dad had a favorite game when gavroche asked (he said he liked online checkers). this news of these two little boys not having any favorite games is extremely upsetting, therefore he chooses to spend the rest of his cash on taking them to an arcade he really likes. gavroche introduces them to all of his favorites and promises that one day they can come over and play minecraft and fortnite with him bc gavroche is twelve and twelve year old boys love minecraft and fortnite

-he winds up walking them back to the orphanage in the evening because they say they'll get into trouble with their head lady if they're past curfew. he waves goodbye to them and feels a surge of something in his chest. it's hard to explain. he's never really had friends his age before. he wants to buy them more pastries and show them more games and show them the best places to watch tourists getting scammed

-the next few days gavroche waits around the school. he has another handful of cash he stole from his dad's stash and he wants to see them. he never learned their names, but he's affectionately thought of the little one as nitwit and the older one as nimrod. theyre both a little empty-headed and gullible but they're kids and from his superior Twelve Year Old Perspective, he's their elder and must look out for the lil guys

-they run into each other again. nitwit immediately waves and runs over with nimrod close behind. they follow gavroche around like two little ducks

-instead of an elephant, they have an Office. their office is the building the thenardier's live above. it used to be an old glasses store before going out of business. gavroche is pretty good at picking locks and exploring and found a way in through the back. he's kept this a secret for a long long time. when he'd get scared of his parents hurting him when he was younger, he'd hide in the back storage closet inside. to this day, he keeps a few old couch cushions, folding chairs, and snacks inside

-gavroche trusts his boys enough to show them but makes them SWEAR they'll never tell anyone else. promises are a big deal to them and they all pinky swear. the three of them meet up at the office when nitwit and nimrod get out of school. gavroche shows them the DS hand-me-down he also got from parnasse and brings snacks and bottles of soda and juice down so they can play little games. nitwit was really frightened of the store at first because it was pretty dark and spooky, but gavroche has made some changes. he's found flashlights to make it brighter and has blankets and a sonic plush to make him feel a little better

-there’s a great gatsby-style photo of a man's eyes with glasses across from the door of the Office. they all say "big brother is watching" as a joke but none of them have any idea what it means. nitwit just calls it the big brother now. he keeps watch for them and keeps the bad guys away

-sometimes nitwit and nimrod wont see gavroche for days. it isnt uncommon for communication to occasionally go dark for a little bit. when he isn't there, nimrod leaves little letters in the office for him to see when he comes back

-sometimes when he does come back, he's got bruises and scrapes and bruises. gavroche wont ever tell him where he gets them, but both nitwit and nimrod will bring bandaids and such from the orphanage to put on his forehead cut and scraped up knee

-gavroche looks out for them, and they look out for him

The One Where Tetsuro Drags Kenma To The Mall, And He Unsuspectingly Falls In Love.

Edited: 2-19-2021

Tetsuro Kuroo briskly walked through the busy halls of the mall with Kenma Kozume following behind him begrudgingly. He had his play station portable, PSP if you will, in his hand. He was only half paying attention to the walkway and where Tetsuro was heading. Tetsuro was a little bemused watching how Kenma was able to follow him and watching out for bumping into strangers.

"Can we go to the game store yet?"

Kenma had not intended or planned on being dragged to the mall by his best friend. Sometimes Tetsuro just didn't like going places alone, even if the said place was just the shoe store at the mall for some new volleyball sneakers. At least Tetsuro had the decency to bribe him with a free videogame.

"Yeah, sure."

Kenma was ecstatic as he saved the game on his PSP, turned it off, and carefully placed it in his backpack. He had been waiting so long to finally go into the videogame store, Tetsuro had taken over an entire hour picking out new volleyball shoes.

"Finally. I think you're the only person who spends over an hour looking for shoes."

"Hey! The right kind of shoes could be the winning factor to our games."

Kenma made his way directly to the game store with Tetsuro following behind him. Kenma made his way over to the PlayStation section, however, as he looked across the store and saw the woman running the register he bolted. Blood rushed to Kenma's cheeks as he quickly grabbed onto Tetsuro's jacket and pulled him into the X-Box section.

"What are you...? Why are we in this section? You hate X-Box users, you said they were inferior and made fun of me for almost buying one."

"The console, not the user, and because they are! I just... Do you believe in love at first sight?"

"Well, technically speaking it takes six months to fall in love... But I guess sometimes there can be exceptions."

The blush on Kenma's cheek was an evergrowing pink, quickly transitioning to a deep shade of red. He slightly poked his head out of the aisle in a discreet way as to not let you see him. It made him think of the game Call Of Duty and War Hawk, where he'd poke his body out slightly that enabled him to shoot without being shot at.

"I think I'm in love."

"With who? Her?"

Tetsuro poked his head out and Kenma quickly grasped onto his shirt and yanked him back in.

"You can't just look at her, she might come over here and she cannot come over here."

"Why not? You could get her number."

"I can't talk to her okay? I come in here all the time, and every time I see her at the checkout I get nervous, and barely any words come out."

Tetsuro patted Kenma on his back and scanned the shelf for a videogame that looked noteworthy.

"Don't worry about talking, I'm gonna get you her number then you can take it at your own pace."

"No, wait-"

"Don't worry, I got this."

Not an X-Box game, Kenma wanted to say. Not Paladins, Kenma desperately wanted to say, but it was too late. Tetsuro was walking away with the game in his hand towards the cash register and placing it on the counter, all Kenma could do was hide in the aisle with anxious anticipation.

"Hi."

"Hello, will that be all for you today?"

"Yup."

You raised your eyebrows in silent judgment as you scanned the videogame. Kenma supposed it really wasn't Tetsuro's fault for making the mistake. He didn't play videogames as Kenma did, his eyes weren't likely to spot the OverWatch hoodie you were wearing, Paladin's superior rival game, or the fact that you were wearing the PlayStation insignia on a bracelet over your wrist. Evidently, whatever Tetsuro said to you, Kenma knew you were going to shoot down.

"So, my friend back there couldn't help but notice you, but he's too shy to ask you for your number, so I was wondering if I could have your number to share with him."

You let out a nervous laugh as you lifted your eyes from the register screen to the area behind him, there was no one. You would have liked to say that you were the type of person that didn't disassociate yourself from or have a prejudice against people based on their likes and dislikes, but the fact that this guy had obvious poor taste in videogames and consoles accompanied by the fact he obviously had no friend left you feeling uneasy.

"Right, for your 'friend'. I don't feel very comfortable giving out my number, sorry."

Would the slew of pervy gamer guys never cease to exist? Every day a new guy was in here ready to hit on you.

"My friend is so sweet, I promise! He plays videogames and he's an athlete!"

This guy was getting creepier and creepier by the minute. You took Tetsuro's card from him and swiped it along with the machine with haste, hoping silently that the card wasn't declined and he would leave.

"I'm not allowed to serve out my number for personal gain. Corporate policy, sorry."

You rushed your words out politely hoping to both deter him from asking again and to lessen your chances of coming across as rude. You thrust his card forward, quickly folded his receipt in half, placed it on a bag with the video game, and pushed it forward on the counter with a beaming smile.

"Have a nice day and come again."

Please don't.

Defeated but not hopeless, Tetsuro went back to the X-Box aisle to return to Kenma who was reeling in second-hand embarrassment over how bad that went. You watched with wary eyes as your newest creepy customer returned to the gaming aisles despite having just paid. You left your head resting on the work phone that was clipped to your belt, you'd be shocked at the number of guys that came and harassed you simply for being a girl that worked in the videogame store. Perverts and misogynists were a pain, you could never be too careful.

"That went horrible."

"You grabbed an X-Box game, and you could've grabbed OverWatch at least, not Paladins. Anything but Paladins. Let's go home."

Kenma didn't even want to inform his friend how weird and sketchy he was acting when he talked to you.

"Nope! Time for plan B."

Tetsuro grabbed Kenma's arm and dragged him over to the PlayStation section, unbeknownst to your watchful eyes. You felt a little sheepishly embarrassed watching him pull his friend to the PlayStation section. You had seen the little blonde boy come in a lot, enough to know what kind of games and consoles he liked, yet you hadn't noticed them come in together or even seen another guy in the X-Box section, truthfully, you thought the dark-haired guy was another pervy boy trying to hit on you for being a girl in gamer apparel.

"You're going to take my game and get my money back, and then buy OverWatch. Now I want you to repeat after me. 'I need to return this. By the way, I think you're cool, do you want to hang out sometime?'. Apparently, it's against corporate rules to hand out her number."

"Okay, okay. I got this. 'I need to return this. By the way, I think you're uh, cool. Do you wanna hang out."

Tetsuro pushed Kenma out of the PlayStation aisle and he slowly walked to the counter, the blush on his cheeks still raging as he gripped the bag tightly. He put it on the counter and tried to take a deep breath before he talked.

"I need to return this for my friend and buy this."

"Your friend not a fan of Paladins?"

He didn't want to stray from the script that Tetsuro had given him, but man did Paladins aggravate him. It was a complete rip-off of OverWatch.

"No, it's, um, it's a rip-off of OverWatch honestly, and I-We prefer PlayStation games."

"I know- God, that sounded creepy. It's just that you're in here a lot."

Kenma let out a small laugh as you scanned the game. You felt embarrassed for letting on to the fact that he had left an impression on you. It wasn't like you were a creep, you just took notice when customers came in regularly, especially when they bought the games that you personally played. Kenma handed you Tetsuro's debit card and you swiped it to both return the original and buy the new one.

"So, uhm, I am in here a lot, and I've noticed you wear a lot of videogame apparel, and I think you're kinda cool, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime?"

"I'll do you one better, here's my phone number."

You scrawled your number down on the receipt and put it in the bag with the OverWatch game before you slid it over to Kenma with a smile. You leaned in close, whispered to him, and he swore his heart stopped beating as you stared into his eyes.

"Just, god this is so embarrassing. Can you preferably don't tell your friend I gave you my number...? I don't mean to offend, but he was actin' weird and kinda creeped me out, and I told him it was against corporate policy to get him to leave me alone."

[queenofmalkier]

I'm honestly confused about your intentions here. Your original post was clear about your feelings and what you were stating, but your response contradicts that. Because of that I'm going to unpack how I understood the original post as best as I can.

The implication is that they did not care, so yes I am afraid you did state such a thing by saying that Winter Dragon was created with little effort, little attention, and bad acting. None of those things can be associated with caring.

You did state they "valued the storytelling" and "trusted the source material" but I think you might not have much experience behind the scenes with this sort of thing.

As others have pointed out, this was not them valuing or trusting the story. They used the opening chapter because they did not value it enough to hire a writer to do more than the cursory work of creating a script. It mattered so little to them that they aired once in the middle of the night in the hopes nobody would see it because they knew what they were making wasn't real. It was a scribbled flower on the margins of a notebook you're going to throw away.

The usage of the first chapter was crucial to the cash/rights grab because they needed to be able to argue, in court if necessary, that they had done enough to maintain the rights to the series - a venture they were clearly successful in. That's it.

Winter Dragon had no heart. I don't think a single person involved would say they were proud of the production if they even remembered partaking in the first place. I certainly do not believe for a single second that Robert Jordan would have been proud of it - though I of course, cannot know that. My assumptions are based on how much he loved his work and shielded what he felt did not meet his standards of quality.

Your initial post was about the fandom taking Winter Dragon as a joke only to suggest that it aged well in comparison to the show. "My head cannot fathom how badly you have to fail in your adaptation that one 20-minutes no effort production like Winter Dragon can do better on that regard than yours". Suggesting, heavily, that Winter Dragon is the superior adaptation.

"If someone have told me back then that a cheap production which goal was to hold the rights on any cost, will treat the source material better than multimillionaire production which had the whole (reasonably) time to prepare, I would definitely think they were mad. But somehow the Pattern wove for us that impossible thread of reality." So yes, you did make the comparison to Winter Dragon, even if that was not your goal. I responded to that comparison.

I do not appreciate the work shown in Winter Dragon because no real work was put into it. Not one of those costumes appears to have been made specifically for the production, the set looks like a local bank so I highly doubt it was built for the production... what work am I appreciating, exactly?

"We can see how much work these people invested into with the struggle of little to no budget in Winter Dragon. If we have to compare then we must say that because their bosses wanted to keep the rights and didn’t have time to write anything else so we have to dismiss how they put their heart and soul into the show? Is this sound fair to you?"

No, actually we do not see any such thing. They were being paid to do a job and they did so to the best of their ability within the limitations they were under. That is not investing in a production.

That is certainly not putting heart and soul into anything. I'm pretty sure they had days, maybe, to put this together, and the driving force was "do this because we said so" from studio heads rather than the extremely unlikely scenario where a bunch of plucky Wheel of Time fans happened to come together to try and save the rights for their studio. If it was, don't you think they'd have spoken up, defending work they were proud of?

Find me one person directly involved who genuinely feels proud of Winter Dragon that isn't incentivized to say so by Red Eagle.

Yes, cameraman, crew, and actors participated. They do need to eat and there's nothing wrong with taking a job to support ones self. It's the same as a professional musician taking a job at a wedding playing song covers - nothing is being created in that environment. But there's a need and that musician is happy to have the money.

Your first post shows your disappointment in the modernization of the source material. That is understandable. However, the Wheel of Time speaks very much to the era it was created in. Those same messages are lost on newer generation who face different battles. In order to make a successful show - a successful product whether you like the term or not - the story needed to speak to the people of today.

I will withhold judgment on if that was the choice Robert Jordan would have wanted. I will only say that I understand why it was done and support it because, in doing do, they created a new generation of fans who felt it spoke to them.

Finally, you also made the comparison that there was no backlash to those who disliked Winter Dragon, but there has been against those who dislike the show, which I believe indicates that you might be misunderstanding why people like myself are so exhausted.

And we are. At least, I am.

I am so tired of hearing people go over the same points about the show, over and over and over again like the world's worst record. I take part in fandom spaces to enjoy myself. If I find that I don't like something I tend to disengage and move on.

It's been over a year and I'm constantly seeing the same show bashing. I admit it's made me a bit frustrated with individuals who dislike the show because they've made no new points, offered no new or valuable insights.

It's like the drunk at last call who just keeps saying "and another thing!" only to tell the same exact story.

I can block these people, I know this. But I resent that I have to because most of these people have wonderful thoughts, opinions, and ideas about the books. I love engaging with people who hate the show ironically because they love the books so much more. I value what they have to say and blocking them cuts me off from that knowledge. It's upsetting and feels a bit like cutting off an arm because of a broken finger.

I just wish they could stop beating a dead horse in regards to their dislike, because it's already been made abundantly clear and I would like to respect that opinion while at the same time not listening to the arguments about it multiple times, at length. When the new season comes out, sure, because there will be more to discuss, but as of right now it's tedious at best.

I guess I'm trying to say that I do see the anger and hurt about the show, but please understand how utterly draining and miserable it is to see the bitching. That's what is toxic.

Now, with that out of the way, I will address the new points you've raised. I'm sorry if any of this is coming off as aggressive, I genuinely am trying to make a point about the splinter in the fandom and your opening was sort of the straw that broke the camel's back for me, because I find the existence of Winter Dragon funny, but also incredibly insulting to a series that I hold so dear.

Approaching any adaptation is going to be difficult, especially older works. And no matter what choices are made people are going to be unhappy - not to mention, everyone has different opinions on how to approach such work in the first place, what is important and what can be cut.

For me, I am more concerned with characterization and the overall feel of a story. Elements can be changed. As long as I can watch an adaptation and think "That feels like Rand!" or "Yes, exactly, that's the essence of Nynaeve!" I am satisfied because I also understand the unfun parts of making an adaptation.

Stuff like CEOs and general "suits" having input that cannot be disregarded. Often they've never engaged with the source material or even engaged in making a show themselves. They care about numbers, about statistics, and about getting nice, healthy paychecks. You can hate it, but that's a reality creators must accept in order to make anything.

Just like in fandom spaces, every person who reads a book and goes to adapt it is going to come away from it with a different idea of what the book meant, what it was about, and how to convey that. That's because no two people have the same life experiences and our own biases tend to change our perceptions.

Further complicating matters is the fact that a script will then be read by actors, who will take away still more new perceptions and ideas about the work they're going to undertake. Filters upon filters.

Some actors will read the source material (which we do know is the case for some of them, especially Josha and I believe Rosamund) but again, it's impossible to say what they're going to find important or unimportant because we're unique.

Then we have to consider technological limitations, and budgeting limitations, and then unfortunately for this specific show they also had a health crisis to contend with and a main actor abruptly leaving production.

Unlike Winter Dragon, I'd maintain they were working under some difficult conditions, with a show Amazon barely promoted, and still they came out with a product that reads as Wheel of Time to me personally.

Essentially, what I'm saying here is I think adaptations have the impossible task of recreating something without fundamentally changing the spirit of the work, and it is my person opinion that they achieved that to my satisfaction. I am not saying the show is perfect, or that I agree with everything, but the fact that I am quantifying my opinion at all shows just how much of a bone of contention I feel that it is to say I dared to like something at this point.

Again, I speak to the frustration of the misery-mongers who flooded the reviews when the show was first released because if they didn't get the adaptation they wanted they didn't want anybody to have one.

You say "No one expect play-to-play, 1-to-1 or frame-to-frame from one adaptation. Please, do not fall into this trap." but I am very sad to inform you that you're wrong. I have seen so, so, so, SO many people angry because they expected that exact thing. I'm not sure how they thought it would remotely work in reality, but that very much has been an argument I've seen at length.

In regards to Harriet, I can't find anything about her responding to the show, but she had a very swift, clear response to Winter Dragon. Namely, she was pissed. Take from that what you will.

I'm not sure why you crossed out Rafe's name. You can, again, dislike him, that's fine, but he is a Wheel of Time fan and has been more heavily involved with fans than I've previously seen with other show runners in different fandoms.

"If my job is protect the spine and the heart of what's there, sometimes that is changing things, because sometimes if you did them exactly as they were, a new audience to it wouldn't actually understand the heart of what's there because a lot of it's expressed inside someone's head or it's expressed by a character that gets a POV chapter in a way that we can't really do on television"

Again, his takeaway on what was important for the adaption might not be yours, but since you've dismissed Harriet and Brandon Sanderson, you cannot deny Rafe was heavily involved in what was made.

Brandon Sanderson is the touchiest topic I've ever seen lately, but in the very least he is a Wheel of Time fan who was chosen to complete the series. Those are facts.

I am not going to discuss person opinions or feelings about those facts.

We do know he was at least involved in the production which, again, is surprising. I don't think you realize how often writers are completely dismissed or uninvolved in adaptations of their own work. It's an unfortunate reality so that he got to give input at all? It shows they cared, they tried.

He has given multiple interviews discussing what advice he gave that wasn't accepted/dismissed, and honestly I don't feel like getting into it.

My point is, that actually having people are closely related to the creation of the source material as was possible I think is the show runners best. They could not have Robert Jordan, so they had the man who finished the series and his wife in some aspect, as well as a fan as a show runner.

Again, more than a large portion of adaptations get in the first place and as a firm believer in the original author being involved in shows/movies/etc. I'm satisfied with that because so often that is not the case.

Winter Dragon aged well as adaptation?

Winter Dragon was released 8 years ago in 2015. It was met with huge backlash and fans didn’t like it in general. Its existence became a matter of court case for Team Jordan as the company behind the production created it to keep the TV rights. This is the reason why now Read Eagle Entertainment is involved in the credits on the Prime production. We don’t know the details of their settlement but it seems the case wasn’t successful for Harriet.

8 years ago fans laughed at the bad production that was created at the last possible minute. We took it as a joke but also as a hope for the near future. We waited for new opportunity our beloved book series to be presented on screen. And we received new adaptation. The new TV series created new point of view on Winter Dragon which I didn’t expect at all. If someone have told me back then that a cheap production which goal was to hold the rights on any cost, will treat the source material better than multimillionaire production which had the whole (reasonably) time to prepare, I would definitely think they were mad. But somehow the Pattern wove for us that impossible thread of reality.

We live in a reality where Winter Dragon was created with little effort, little attention and bad acting where the adaptation was afterthought for the process and still the production team valued the storytelling of Robert Jordan more than their own agenda (of fast cash grabbers). They didn’t mean it but in their lack for preparation, as a consequence they trusted the source material to speak for itself and let the audience to judge on its own. No investment in modern political climate, no “fixing” and no attempt to show off how they know better than Robert Jordan. My head cannot fathom how badly you have to fail in your adaptation that one 20-minutes no effort production like Winter Dragon can do better on that regard than yours. How Amazon let it to be possible in the first place?

And my favourite part - no one tried to excuse it how it is "not 1 to 1 adaptation" and to blame book fans for unrealistic expectations. So "bookcloaks" could bash on Winter Dragon with no problem back then but now somehow the same critics to one other TV series are "problematic" and "toxic". This sounds fair.

Let the Light keep you safe.

(Y/N) Meets Zeke Yeager at a Radiohead Concert In the Year 2012 (Yes, It's The King Of Limbs Hour For Sure)

(You-16 Zeke-17 Porco-16 Pieck-17 Colt-16 Yelena- 17)

I don't fucking know why I think of these things, but here I go, this is for all of you Superior-Music-Taste-Thom-Yorke-er- Radiohead-virgins out there B)

The year is 2012, (Y/N) is 16, and the setting is a Radiohead concert almost one year post-King-Of-Limbs-album-drop.

After working for a few months at your first part time job, you were able to save enough cash to buy concert tickets for you and a friend.

The location of the venue is about 2 hours from your hometown, and it's quite the road trip.

Either using your/your friend's car, or public transportation, to make the trip.

Zeke is 17, he's also at this concert with a group of his friends: Colt, Porco, Pieck, Yelena.

You're jamming out to all the hits, swaying your body to the sound of the music just right, and letting yourself go in a way you've only ever done alone in your bedroom.

King Of Limbs wasn't Radiohead's most well received album, but you love almost anything Thom, that droopy eyed bastard, and the other members put out.

Your friend that you came to the concert with is currently on a bathroom break, leaving you to your own devices in the crowded room.

"Separator" plays loudly throughout the concert hall; the drum beat feels like it has made it's way under your skin, and the melodic sound of Thom's voice feels as if it's an instrument in its own right.

Zeke is currently jogging back inside, he had left only for a moment during a run through of "Morning Mr. Magpie" for a smoke break.

(it's not particularly his favorite on the album)

"Separator" is one of Zeke's favorites comparatively, and he might hit himself after if he ends up missing the live rendition.

He sees a familiar slicked back head of blonde hair while peering over the heads of the crowd, and Zeke's relieved to see Porco turn around and wave him over.

Zeke makes a b-line for his friend, trying his best to shove through the crowd as politely, yet firmly, as he can.

Whilst making his way over, Zeke bumps into someone who's almost completely oblivious to his presence, until said person trips over themselves and falls to their feet.

You luckily brace yourself, your palms and wrists making contact with the dirty ground as to protect your face.

Normally, Zeke would most likely brush this off and claim the situation to not be his problem, and most likely continue on his path to his friends.

A change of heart? Guilt for being a catalyst in knocking you over? (as he suspects it would've happened eventually) Or maybe it's because he notices the way your ass looks in your blue jeans.

Zeke can tell a good ass when he sees one, and everybody has an ass to be appreciated after all, no consideration for gender identity or assigned anatomy needed.

Zeke pauses and decides 'ah, what the hell'.

Zeke crouches down and holds his hand out to you, flashing a boyish grin that suits his younger looking face well, as he begins to offer you an apology.

"My mistake for knocking you on your ass, I was trying to get to my friends... Need a hand?"

Zeke half yells this apology, and in the end it's still very muffled sounding due to the loud music.

You are wary of the boy in front of you, being very well versed in all the basic "stranger-danger" rules, the ones your care-taker/parental-figure drilled into you before you left.

But the slight tug of the left side of his mouth, the dimple in his cheek, his shaggy yet soft looking blonde hair, his stupid but admittedly cool glasses that hang low on the bridge of his nose...

He's cute, and you're too aware of the fact to deny his hand that he's offered to you.

You say a "Thanks", only letting yourself look him in the eye for hardly a second, as he accepts your hand into his roughly textured one.

You feel a flush begin on your chest and rise up to your face, ashamed of yourself for practically drooling at the feeling of just a grasp of a hand around your own.

Zeke assists you in rising to your feet, and he can almost feel your eyes tracing his form, taking him in.

He looks rather typical, a dark t-shirt with a faded "Kid A bear" logo printed on it, under a wrinkled rusty-toned flannel with rolled up sleeves, dark denim loosely encompasses his lanky legs that end with damaged and worn low-top skate shoes.

You only realize your hand is still in his own, when you catch the cheeky look in his eye, after scanning back to to his face.

You retract your hand from his, with suspiciously quick retreat, that has him grinning a little wider.

"Name's Zeke, do you have one?"

You can smell his last cigarette on his breath as he talks, you're both in close proximity due to the people around you.

The performance of "Separator" is almost long forgotten at this point, it's now just the background noise to your first conversation with each other.

You shift your weight back and forth to each foot, settling on leaning to your right side, before looking up to answer him.

"It's (Y/N), and it's okay, I was kinda in my own world for a minute there..." You answer honestly, but almost too bashfully, taking the blame for your tumble.

Zeke shakes his head and answers immediately, "No, I wasn't really paying attention to who I was knocking into, but I guess I was kinda lucky that you happened to be my first victim."

His voice has a slight rasp to it, though he's just 17 he admittedly smokes like a chimney.

His words also have an attractive cadence to them, you can already tell he's a smart ass by the way he's immediately putting the moves on, but you find yourself not really caring all too much.

Zeke starts again, "I also get like that though, in my head I mean, 'specially with "Separator"..."

You nod along and begin to talk to him more about your interest for the track, hardly noticing as the minutes roll by, and with the song changing into "Little by Little".

The both of you exchange words and information throughout the next song, like your ages, preferred albums, what other concerts you've been to.

Zeke completely forgets about his friends in the minutes he's conversing with you, and the same happens with you, until Porco loudly appears with Colt behind Zeke.

"Dude! I waved you over like 10 minutes ago! What the hell Zeke? You're dragging your ass and the other's are-" Porco's sentence cuts off as his eyes drift over to you, understanding the hold up.

Porco turns his head to Zeke and receives a glower from the taller boy. Whilst wearing a shit eating grin, Porco gives Zeke a curt nod and a slap on the shoulder.

"Whatever, just shoot me text in a few man,"

Porco's eyes catch your your for second, as he raises a hand for a quick sayonara,

"Nice meeting ya'."

Zeke pushes up his glasses as he shakes his head in annoyance and heaves a sigh.

As Porco gestures for a confused Colt to follow him back to the rest of the group, you catch eyes with your own friend.

They give you an apologetic glance but then notice Zeke near you, they hold up their hand and toggle back and forth between a thumbs up and thumbs down, silently asking if Zeke's presence was a bother.

You give a thumbs up, which they respond with a double thumbs up, as they make their way over to a group of people and easily start to blend in.

You turn back towards Zeke and offer a smile, finally free of interruptions, as the song ends and fades into "Lotus Flower". Commotion erupts throughout the crowd, as the majority cheer for one of the most favored songs.

Zeke offers you a smile as well, and shuffles a step or two closer, before beginning to speak again.

Ending it there! If I make a follow up then that'll be over here when the time comes: Part Two

I actually... I don't even... Why, that's all I have to say, just why???

Thanks so much for the notes on my previous post! That was my first time hitting over 100 notes!

Tbh... "The King of Limbs" is on the same level as "In Rainbows" for me, soz if you're offended by that statement dawg. Lmk your opinions!

I am Zeke Trash #1, and you're watching Disney Channel

“BITCH, DID I STUTTER WHEN I SAID TO KEEP THAT SAFE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES?”

Allyson massaged her temples softly and let out a groan: if Mr. Rogers continued to yell like that, he would definitely choke soon. This morning he had been pretending to be the death, vengeance and fury, ready to kick the ass of her immediate superior, James Barnes, who acted like he was deaf, unable to pull himself from the couch where he slept after getting drunk as a fish last night. Oh, poor Bucky. Apparently, he fucked things up again if Mr. Rogers stormed into his office like he was getting chased by a 200-pound dog.

“What the fuck is wrong with you, you son of a...” glancing at a pouting man-child with a three-day beard, Steve covered his face with his palm and let out an exasperated sigh, “... respectable woman who would die of shame if she saw you now!”

“Come on, Stevie,” the man yawned, finally moving his huge, muscular body up to sit instead of just laying on the couch since he felt a little guilty Steve was getting all riled up while he just chilled, “why so serious? Yeah, somebody took a bit of cash from the safe, it’s not a big deal.”

Allyson heard everything as if they were speaking right in front of her - Bucky was a real Mr. Cheapo who didn’t want to rent an office with decent walls - and quickly closed her ears, wishing she had taken her earplugs today. Her boss just made a grave mistake, and now both of them were going to pay for it with their eardrums.

“NOT A BIG DEAL? NOT A BIG DEAL, YOU MASSIVE BAG OF DOUCHE?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WAS THERE, HUH?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THOSE MONEY WERE FOR?!”

Seriously, she considered getting a new job, but these free daily standup shows were both tiring and so fucking funny she was afraid she might wet her seat.

“Oh my fucking God, Bucky, I swear I’ll kill you, I’ll... no, I have a better idea!” Steve gave his best friend a dirty look. “I’ll call your uncle. Yeah, you know which one. He’ll be sooo happy to take you drunk ass to jail and then give your mama a call. I bet she has a cure for both your attitude and alcoholism.”

“You wouldn’t do that!”

Suddenly realizing the danger he was in, Bucky quickly got up, almost falling to the floor but holding on the leather chair in the very last second. When Steve talked about calling his uncle, a chief of police of the neighboring town where his whole family lived, it meant things were going bad. Real bad.

“Bucky, it was the part we were going to invest into Pierce’s casino. I have to take it to him tomorrow morning. TOMORROW FUCKING MORNING, DO YOU HEAR ME, YOU STINKING DRUNK?”

“I’m drunk but not deaf, Steve!”

“Oh my God, I’m driving you to a rehab, go gather your stuff right now!”

Allyson sighed, getting up and proceeding to choose the most beautiful cup to fill it with fresh coffee: when their conflicts escalated to threats, it meant her boss would soon start to sweet-talk, apologizing to his best friend and promising to sober up and get things right. Every time she felt like Mr. Rogers would really do something to Bucky, the guy used his natural charisma and charm and got away with anything by just reminding Steve how he fought for his best friend in the dark alleys when Rogers was a sick, skinny kid. It worked every damn time.

There they were again, talking about same things with Bucky swearing on his mother’s life that he will find the money and bring it back to Steve. Usually it meant the threats were coming to an end, and soon Mr. Rogers would open the door and come out red as a lobster, breathing heavily as if he just ran a marathon. There he would see her with a cup of nice coffee with cream and two spoons of sugar just like he preferred, gladly accepting it and saying nobody understand him but her. Then Allyson would smile compassionately, listen to his small talk before he went out the office, and wait until her grumpy boss would fall out the room, reeking alcohol, and ask her what the fuck had happened yesterday.

After that in a couple of minutes things would finally settle down, and Allyson would have a chance to give a call to her best friend.

_______________________________

Your day couldn’t start better: you had finally received your Amazon order - hooray to the stupid makeup tools you would use, like, once a year - and even watched your favorite Netflix series with a cup of a fragrant coffee with marshmallows because it was Sunday and you were finally free from both work and cleaning the apartment. It felt so nice to just do absolutely nothing, laying on your couch with a piece of pizza in your hand. Seriously, even a workaholic like you had to do it more often.

Your lazy morning was interrupted by Peter, a sweet college student who was getting into troubles more often than a drunk in a local bar: you seriously considered calling him Harry Potter after you found him half-naked with a scratch on his forehead standing in the corridor of your building and holding a broom. To protect himself from bullies, he said, by the look on his face you could tell it was as good as a magic wand against 6"4 ft tall guys, seriously.

Since he rented an apartment with other unlucky nerds who had zero skills how to survive in this cruel world, you ended up nearly baby-sitting Peter, patching him up after he was getting in a fight and lending him some money time after time when he struggled to pay rent or buy food. His parents were elderly people with income below average, but they still did whatever they could to give him an education, so you decided to give the guy a hand.

Now that baby was standing in front of you, lit up like a Christmas tree, with a bouquet of wonderful pink roses, big box of hand-crafted chocolates and a whole bag of what looked like some very fine food, even a bottle of champagne clinking inside.

"Good morning, Fairy Godmother! I came to bring back what I owe you!" His smile was a mile wide when he looked at your face, happy to the point he couldn't stand still, dancing like those Duracell rabbits in the tv ad.

"You're up early, Cinderella."

You yawned, laughing when you saw the guy pouting at the nickname you gave him - tf he expected for calling you Fairy Godmother?

"Don't stand there, come in."

When he actually handed you the flowers and chocolates, giving you a quick peck on the cheek shyly, you froze, finally realizing he brought all this for you. Wait, what? Where the heck did he get so much money to buy that expensive stuff? You thought he was helping his other neighbor who was planning to finally propose to his girlfriend. Perplexed to the point you nearly missed that peck, you blinked at tomato red Peter.

"Please don't tell me you robbed your 90-year-old paralytic professor."

"Why don't you ask if I robbed a bank?" He pouted again, putting the bag on the floor and getting a hundred dollar banknote out of his old leather wallet. "I actually came to thank you for everything you've done for me. And I didn't rob anyone! I got a real job!"

"Real job?" You eyed him curiously. "But don't you already have a job in delivery?"

"Pfft, you can't call it a job. It was getting one nasty smelling pizza from one place to the other while looking miserable."

You barely held your laugh, leaving the bouquet and chocolates on the side table and rubbing guy's back. Poor Peter, nobody was giving him a hand - while you couldn't question people's decision since the guy wasn't the most reliable one, it was still a shame he wasn't treated decently as if all of them weren't young and careless once.

Wait, but who on Earth gave him such a well-paid job all of a sudden? He must have spent hundreds of dollars on the bouquet, chocolates, food and champagne, not even counting those 100 dollars he owed.

Oh God.

"Please don't tell me you're working for some shady business." You looked at him in horror, your hand flying to your mouth. "Peter, is it Tony's band?!"

"Jesus woman, why would I work for some stupid mob." The guy rolled his eyes, and you sighed in relief, not knowing what to except from this trouble on two skinny legs. “I’m telling you, it’s nothing bad! I just have to keep it a secret before I get a contract. Once I figure it out, I’ll explain everything, I swear!”

“Alright, alright, don’t stress over it, I’m not your Ma.” Smirking, you went to take a square glass vase you hadn’t use in ages, filling it with water to drop the bouquet inside. “Let’s celebrate it, then! Woah, careful there, give me that bottle until you drop it on my clean floor, I’ve been scrubbing it for hours yesterday!”

_______________________

Bucky still felt like Steve was making too much of a big deal out of it: obviously, it was Tony who went to him at night when Bucky was already drunk like a monkey, celebrating the birth of Clint’s daughter. Nobody else had the courage to steal from him, Steve’s right hand, an ex-soldier who had a reputation of a man killing with the first punch. Not that Bucky ever killed anybody, actually being a ex-trumpet in an army band...

Anyway, the man was heading over to Stark’s Tower, a motel where he and all his guys lived when his wife Pepper was out of town. Pepper had definitely been out of town lately since Tony didn’t call: when she was coming back, Steve and Tony were having a two-day truce with nobody getting in a fight because it was making Mrs. Stark upset, and when she was upset, both Steve and Tony didn’t risk getting out of their holes to face this enraged blonde woman who could make anyone wet themselves with one her glance. If there were anyone killing with just one punch in the town, it got to be Pepper.

As he got closer in his Cadillac that looked like it went through fire and water before being sold to Bucky, Barnes stared at the motel suspiciously: it was strangely quiet with everyone hiding inside, not a man guarding the motel’s entrance. What the hell happened? Tony loved showing off, pretending he ruled over the town, and he would definitely act like a king after stealing Steve’s and his money. It was unbelievable Bucky so nobody welcoming him with a smirk.

Hoping he didn’t use all that money for emptying a liquor store, Bucky parked the car and went to the motel, dying to have some beer: one heartless blonde boss of his emptied his fridge.

“Oh, more drinking partners returning to continue the fun, huh?”

Bucky froze immediately, staring at Pepper who stood in the doorway with a face of an iron maiden. Jesus fucking Christ. She returned to the city way before Tony told him, and it was clear she found him not in the condition she expected to. While Bucky considered whether it was better to run, Tony’s head appeared somewhere behind his wife, and Barnes saw Tony was as drunk as him, if not even more. He could see a huge blue mark from Pepper’s heavy hand on Stark’s cheek.

“Who’s that, honey?” The man asked innocently, earning an enraged glance from his wife, and Bucky thought he should have run. “Hi, Buck! Come on in, it’s ok if you didn’t bring beer even if I asked twice.”

Oh. Something was going on. Of course, Bucky could rat the man out immediately, telling Pepper he wasn’t drinking with Tony yesterday’s night, but he wasn’t such a heartless bastard - by the look on Stark’s face Barnes could see his sweet blonde wifey would beat poor Tony to death with her Dior handbag.

“Sorry, I blacked out for a couple of hours in my car.” He mumbled, bowing his head in respect. “Pepper, such a pleasure to see you.”

“Come on in, alcoholic.” Her gaze was heavy, and Bucky shivered a little, carefully leaving his shoes near the door and scurrying away to the coach where Tony sat, nervously biting his fingers. “Well, do you wanna tell me something, huh? How many hookers have you brought here yesterday?”

Glancing to Tony and back to Pepper, Barnes suddenly realized his frenemy had been so drunk he had no hecking idea whether somebody really brought hookers to the motel - it was a total taboo, but once they got drunk they could barely control themselves. Once they literally woke up to a Santa Claus singing Jingle Bells in the tub in the middle of June because Tony missed Christmas.

Of course, Stark would never slip up the night before Pepper was coming back to town, but, apparently, she didn’t stay with her mom for as long as she planned, and Tony was royally fucked.

“I’ve asked you a question.”

And now Bucky was, too, if he didn’t think of something quick. Of course, he could tell her the truth, but it meant losing Tony completely, and Barnes didn’t want that. A real mafioso should have at least one strong enemy, right?

“I’m sorry, Pepper, but I don’t think there were any hookers here last night.” He said, carefully choosing words. “You see, first, Tony never allows us to. Second, we’re good Christians. We would never invite some hookers when we celebrated the birth of Clint’s daughter!”

As he got silent, enjoying the effect his words were having on Pepper, Bucky looked at the man sitting to his right, watching Tony’s eyes watering: it was definitely God himself who sent Barnes his way that morning, saving his from near death. Nothing would work better than this excuse. Clint and all Bucky’s guys were so drunk to the point they barely remembered what had happened, and it would be easy to convince them Tony and his gang came to see Barnes for something and ended up staying with all of them.

Besides, there was a nice bonus Bucky could add to make it work even better.

“By the way, Clint named her Natasha. That’s also the name of your mom, right?”

By the look on Tony’s face the man realized he was ready to sing.

“How did he know my mom’s name?” Pepper eyed Steve’s right hand distrustfully, but he could tell she was less irritated.

“Oh, you know, he and his wife couldn’t choose the name, so we started saying whatever names we knew, and Tony mentioned Natasha.”

For a second Bucky thought Stark was going to kiss him through excess of joy.

When he finally left the motel, getting his pack of beer given him by lovely Pepper who changed the anger to mercy, Tony ran out of the house after him, giving him a pat on the shoulder and whispering quietly, “I own you one, brother.”

Bucky sighed. Stark didn’t take the money.

Mary Mary (Chapter Two)

Title - Mary Mary (Chapter Two)

Word Count - 1063

Fandom - The Umbrella Academy

Pairing - Five Hargreeves x OC

Summary - October 1st, 1989. Forty-Three infants were born to women with no previous signs of pregnancy. It was also the day of four-year-old Mariana Polakoff’s death. The world carried on, her mother being the only one left to grieve. But on one miraculous day, the little girl was spotted. But she was not how the world remembered her.

Warning(s) - Near sexual assault

Inspiration - I Just Died In Your Arms (Hidden Citizens)

A/N - This is set after season two, but instead of the Sparrow Academy appearing, everything is back to normal. Five is also physically 22 for reasons later on in the story.

Soft chattering filled the room, glass clinking together and silverware scraping against dishes sounding in the background. She stared at the glass of water that sat in front of her, the ice cubes and vibrant slice of lemon floating delicately, timelessly. A hand reached her field of view to set down a plate of fish and chips. She looked up at the waiter and he offered a smile, but all he received was a glare through her lashes in return. The faint red hue that surrounded her eye sockets just added to the level of discomfort he felt and a chill ran down his spine. He didn't show his discomfort until he turned away, too frightened to even risk offending her somehow.

She continued to stare at the man conversing with who she assumed was his mother that worked the counter. The woman's face flushed when she noticed the girl still staring at them, feeling a sense of relief once she turned to her food.

"So judgmental." Dascal commented from beside her.

"It's quite intriguing." She spoke softly as she started to pick at her food, the door to the diner chiming. He raised a brow in question. "Most people barely know themselves, yet spend so much time on others."

"Well you're not wrong, dear one." Mary chuckled. "Humored?"

"By them." Dascal nodded in agreement, letting out a few chuckles of his own.

"It seems you have an admirer." Without looking up, the used to be child let a faint smile reach her lips, but it was deceitful.

"It would seem so." She mumbled and raised her head just enough to meet with another set of eyes. Icy blue met with emerald green, almost challenging each other. She felt a sudden rush of emotions, but they were not her own. It felt as if she was existing as two different people simultaneously, yet still had superior control over her own. First it was surprise, followed by curiosity and suspicion. However, when she looked away it all disappeared. As if a blanket had been ripped from her body. She hummed in her own sense of curiosity as she cleaned her hands with a napkin to place the cash on the table.

"Hungry?" The goat mused as Mary brushed out her dress after standing from her seat. She clicked her tongue before making her way towards the door, catching the stranger's eyes once more as she exited the building.

The dim lamp posts were all that lit the streets, and even then it was still hard to see with how dark it was. They had only passed another person every now and then. It seemed out of character for the city compared to how busy it was during the day. Yet she felt something, someone. Except there was no one in sight other than Dascal.

"Calm, dear one. They feed on fear."

"Like yourself?"

"Indeed." Dascal glanced to his right into an alleyway and guided Mary into the abyss. The two of them came to a halt when they heard echoed footsteps that were not their own.

"You know, it's impolite to stalk." Mary spoke out. A raspy chuckle followed her confrontation. The footsteps grew closer, as did the hoofed man beside her. His large hand protectively rested on her upper back. When she turned around she was met with a scruffy looking man, appearing much older with his greying hair that had started to bald. She held his hazy gaze as he crept closer.

"What's a pretty little thing like yourself doing out here?" He slurred. He attempted to corner her, but when he started to get too close she put a hand to his chest to stop him. Her nose scrunched up when he bit his lip. "I sure do like em' feisty." He went to grab her wrist, but as soon as he made contact he stilled.

His eyes widened and time seemed to slow, his breath caught in his throat. Slowly his veins protruded from his skull, swelling with blood as his face reddened. Terror was all that was left in his eyes. The woman watched in curiosity and slight amusement.

"Dascal?"

"Perhaps this is a-" He was cut off when the two of them heard a 'clang', then the man collapsed onto the ground. Mary held an expression of disgust as she brushed off the wrist her attacker had grabbed, then looked up to see the stranger from the diner. Said stranger huffed and looked at Mary incredulously.

"You're welcome." Mary quirked a brow at the man.

"Is he dead?" She questioned. Now it was his turn to raise a brow.

"Clearly not." He motioned to the breathing man as if it was the most obvious thing.

"Then I'm not thankful." Mary stepped around the scene to make her journey back to the apartment, Dascal following behind the stranger in case he decided to try anything.

"Not thankful? When he was about to do who-knows-what to you?"

"He wasn't going to do anything because he would've been dead." They made their way into the old apartment building, an orchestra of creaks sounding from the stairs as they all made their way up to the second floor.

"And how would that be? You couldn't even get him off of your own wrist."

"What is it with you all being so judgmental?" Mary mumbled as she unlocked the door to her room. She stepped inside before turning to face the slim man. "Goodnight."

Once the door was locked Mary made her way to the bedroom. There was already a set of pajamas already sprawled out on the twin bed and she smiled.
