#it exploded like 1 min later btw

[jays-supersonic-dynamo]

OK YANNOW WHAT here’s non complete list of Bad Things lloyd’s gone thru. unsure if this’ll do anything now but i need to put it out here. remember the ninjagos as we were yanno….

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT: [SPOILERS AND POSSIBLE TRIGGERS AHEAD]

ANTIGONE:

LLOYD GARMADON:

[dangerehrenn]

I beg you please more friends to lovers 😫😫😫

more friends to lovers!!! i hope you like these :)

friends to lovers hcs

chris:

chris has always been a good friend of yours

you always laugh at his jokes or silly comebacks

he always cheers you on when you’re about to do a stunt

“fuck yeah y/n!!! that was so good”

and he invites you to travel with him when he’s doing wildboyz with steveo

you’re both inseparable

and he flirts with you so much

like an insane amount

but you never realise how much he flirts with you because you think he’s like that with everyone

“you look so hot, you know? if i saw you in a bar dressed like that i’d try and get you to come home with me”

after he says that, he winks at you and walks away

leaving u a blushing mess thinking

wtf just happened

he gives you his clothes all the time

you shivered? his hoodie is now off him and on you

has anyone heard the songs ‘head over heels’ by tears for fears?

the chorus for that song is exactly what happens to chris

something happens and he’s head over heels

you’re probably laughing at another one of his jokes

and he’s like damn, i fucking love you

he tells you pretty quickly

and although he doesn’t seem it, he’s so nervous

“honey, i think i’m in love with you. and-“

but you’re so happy to hear he feels the same way you do

you cut him off by practically tackling him into a hug

which ends up in you kissing him with a massive grin on your face

no one’s surprised when they see you both together

“i knew it dude!!” - steveo

they probably had a bet on how long it would take u both to get together

dave won btw (he won $50)

bam:

so in my head for this you guys are childhood friends

you both grew up together, you living down the street from him

so you guys were (and still are) constantly together

you’re his number 1 fan at skate events

“go bam!!! that was awesome!”

you both started the cky video series

you encouraging him to go further with his ideas for it

then both of you being hired for jackass together

but because you both have been friends since you were like 4

you’re both so comfy together

lots of cuddle sessions

either on a couch

or in a bed

just wherever

and super tight hugs that last for ages when one of you is going through something

“y/n come cuddle” “okay im on my way”

you both say that you love each other

but you both always think ‘oh just as a friend’

nope

not the case

ok so maybe bam was your first kiss when you were both 13

but that was on a dare so surely it didn’t mean anything

it did. bam fell so hard for you

what he didn’t know, was that you fell hard too

and one day, during one of your cuddle sessions

bam moves away from you, so you turn to him to make sure he’s okay

and he’s just sat staring at you like he’s going to explode

“bam, you okay?”

“yeah i uh, wait”

so you wait

and then he kisses you

(better than when you guys were 13)

and he just blurts out “i love you. like, really love you”

and you just giggle

“i love you too bam bam”

ryan:

will do anything for you

you’re thirsty? ryan’s suddenly up getting a drink, you want one?

you mention that you haven’t had much to eat today? 30 mins later there’s a pizza delivery guy at the door

you both go to each other for advice

that’s how you became so close

you realised that ryan’s the only one who’ll give advice that’s worth listening to

and he realised the same with you

you both unknowingly get asked for advice about each other

“i like this guy but he’s so oblivious to every move i make”

ryan definitely takes you on long car drives if you’ve had a stressful day

he puts his hand on your thigh while he’s driving

and u almost explode

calling you a dumbass as you recall the idiotic thing you did that you did earlier that day

or calling you the same thing while you explain why you’re so stressed

“y/n you dumbass, you can’t stress over something like that”

you guys park up in some random place to watch the sunset together

and he turns to you

you lift your hand up to move some of his hair out of his face bc you wanna admire him

he grabs your hand and kisses it

his beard tickling a bit

then he says something that changes ur world

“i love you”

you swear your heart stopped while your stomach did flips

you kiss him instantly

and between kisses you whisper “i love you too”

ryan will definitely bring up some time when you asked him for advice

“i guess that guy wasn’t so oblivious was he?”

and you both start laughing

you stay and watch the sunset for a while before leaving

the next day when you go to set, your hands are laced together

a smile on both your faces

bam being so observant will notice straight away

“did you tell them? fuck yeah dunn i’m proud of you”

you turn to ryan to see him blushing, and you just grin at him, love struck

dave:

you guys have been friends since day 1 of jackass

and he definitely shows off for you

or tries to

someone will tell him to do a stunt that he doesn’t wanna do

but then he sees you, smiling at him, thumbs up

and he’s straight to it

that’s how he ended up doing firehose rodeo

and landing on his ass

but i guess it was worth it because you looked after him

“oh god dave are you okay?”

“yeah y/n i’m okay, did it look good?”

“it looked fucking amazing”

you’re the only person that can keep darf in check

you stop him from getting in fights with people 10x his size

but darf is the reason you find out he’s in love with you

you’re taking him home from a bar when he stops in the middle of the path

“come on dave we need to get you home”

“y/nnnnnnnnnnnn. i. love you. and i’m noooot saying this because i’m drunk, iiiiiiii love ya”

you’re in shock

he likes you back?

surely not, it’s darf speaking

you get him home and you crash on his couch to make sure he doesn’t fall out of bed or anything

when he wakes up the next morning, he already knows he’s told you he loves you

“y/n? about what i said last night-”

“i love you too dave”

“wait what? you do?”

you smile at him “of course i do”

everyone’s shocked when you tell them

“what, dave? dave that shits his pants, dave?” - everyone

you just laugh and ignore them

bc you’re happy together

ehren:

your best friend

your # work wife

you do all your stunts together

so you trust him 100%

and he trusts you

always wanting to know where the other is

“dave, you seen ehren today?”

“dave, you seen y/n today?”

poor dave is always in between you both

but he doesn’t mind

ehren is absolutely clueless about your feelings towards him

all he knows is that he can’t mess up your friendship by confessing his love because he appreciates you so much

so you definitely have to make the first move

you’re subtle at first

pretending to fall asleep on his shoulder

hinting that you’re cold so he gives you his coat

but he doesn’t get the hint

so you have to be more bold

“you look hot today ehren” “w-wait what”

“ehren please can i have a hug”

(that poor man will drop everything he’s doing to give you a hug)

eventually you get tired of him not getting it

so you just grab his face, kiss him and say “you dummy, i love you so much”

he’s lost for words

he loves you too, so, so much

so he does what any sane person would do

and he kisses you again, wrapping his arms around your waist as he deepens the kiss

once again, people are shocked when they find out

but it doesn’t really surprise them at the same time

“you and ehren? what the hell. makes sense though, you two being together”

Hush guy in Austria

This guy loves wildlife and overall camping

He turns to grab it, he goes back to love of his life and he just sees her yeeting her cousin in huge ass wave (bonus points if the cousin is like 10years old)

Alright. I need to scream into the void because it is 5 AM and the anxiety is eating me alive.

So, in the tradition that is going on now, I am not happy at my job. My boss has done a lot of really messed up stuff, even before her staff all left. Here's some of them. Note: I am the assistant manager, with no manager above me.

1. When I started, we had monthly morning meetings to make sure everyone was on the same page (I started November 2019). Because of the pandemic, I understand why we stopped. So, 2021 rolls around and I was extremely excited to start those back up. Everytime I would tell her to schedule one (because I'm not in charge of the schedule), she would find some excuse not to do it. It is now September 2021, and we have had 1 (one) meeting, which she wouldn't really let me direct.

2. She won't come into her own store unless something huge is happening. She has told me on multiple occasions that she has to have employees to run the store because she can't always be there. Note, this is a small business. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if I'm the owner because she. Does. Not. Come. In. She (hopefully) comes in once a week to bring us money and then bails.

3. Because of that, I have basically been running the store. I have had former co-workers tell people that stayed past them, "There's only so much responsibility [the owner] can put on [AspenFlower17] without just handing her the keys to the store." I have essentially gone gray enough at this point that people have suggested I just dye my hair gray. I'm going to be 26 next month... That's messed up.

4. I almost hit my breaking point a LONG time ago. After having a shift with her that left me in tears, I was ready to turn in my two weeks but then I found CBD for my anxiety. I stuck it out. When it got bad again, we hired a lovey, lovey girl who has turned into a friend for me. Because of her, I stayed a whole other year because I didn't hate work anymore. CBD doesn't help me anymore at work I'm so stressed. I no longer get to work with this coworker.

She also promoted me to assistant manager while we already had one and told me not to say anything to the current assistant manager because she would talk to her. A month or two later, we all had a meeting together, and THAT'S WHEN SHE TOLD HER!!! So, she left shortly thereafter because she felt like we were sneaking around behind her back, and I honestly don't blame her.

She also did not come in and work during covid even though we were open the whole time.

5. She has just, straight up lied about me to my staff. So, we had a lengthy discussion about what we could go for the staff to help combat burnout. I suggested we do a breakfast that wasn't a meeting just so everyone had time to hang out together. She agreed and when I mentioned going to a local restaurant, she then countered by essentially saying that we need to keep it cheap and to get stuff from the grocery store. So, I told her what day I was going to do it and then that we would have a meeting the next week. She said, "Okay. Well, mornings don't work well for me, so you just do it, and the store will just pay you back for it." Because she has a communication issue I had run into before, I verified the date and that I was okay to do it. She said yes, do it.

So day of the breakfast rolls around. It... Didn't go like I thought it would (partially because I was SUPER tired) but it happened. Whatever. The owner then spoke with one of the employees about how she was thinking about doing a breakfast for all of us. Said employee (who quit fairly soon there after) tells her we had already done it. The onelwer then tells her, "No... We had talked about it, but we never set anything up," and then proceeds to ask for details about it, and tells the employee we were all going to go to a restaurant and blah, blah, blah.

The staff then tells me, to which I obviously told them what actually happened, but it really kind of broke their trust with me and her because it wasn't a very good breakfast (we never had that nice one she told us about btw). I caught her in a point blank our again to me about another staff member later on, so I know they weren't lying (plus she seemed upset with me afterward for awhile). We did have the meeting though (the one we've had that I mentioned above, so... Obviously we decided on something... 👀

6. The back room is out of control and it's not my fault. So, we had a meeting with a higher up in the company (it's a franchise company, so no corporate but there is oversight) and he ran the numbers for us and told us that we need to buy more product to make our store a success (won't go into details, bit we buy products from people and then resale them). So I did. I pushed the staff to buy more stuff and low and behold, we had one of the best years we've EVER had, since the owner opened.

But, with more product comes more back stocking. And when I tell you our back room absolutely EXPLODED. It became a stressful place to be and I told the owner we needed more bins (which is what we put back stock in) when it started getting bad. She told me, "No. You need to make sure the bins we have are full and you need to stock more."

Well, about this time, we physically were not able to stock more because she didn't tell me it was clearance time and we were out if hangers, which I also communicated to her, and she brought us like 2 boxes (which doesn't do much). But I did everything I could to make that happen. I spent a ton of time combining bins and just trying to make it work in general and it wasn't working.

So, she comes into the back one day and just... Panics and reads me the right act for not telling her sooner that we needed bins... So I tell her, "But I did, back before it got this bad. You told me to just combine bins and put stuff out, but I can't do that because I can't because I'm out of hangers," and she says, "But I didn't know it was this bad..." But then later redacted that to say I never told her. So, she brings bins (BECAUSE SHE HAD SONE THE ENTIRE TIME), we... Kind of get the backroom manageable, and she tells me, "Now, if it ever gets bad again, you have to let me know. This is why communication is so important."

So, we use all the bins and are BARELY able to keep that okay. So, fast forward a couple months. The backroom is still messy and we've had... 4 people leave at this point (many because of the backroom). I have my lovely coworker come out of the back and tell me point blank, "[AspenFlower17], that backroom is stressing me out. I don't care if I have to buy them. We HAVE to get bins," so I go, "Cool. Let me text [the owner]," and so I text and tell her, "We need more bins. The staff is getting stressed out," and she texts back, "Well, I need a list if everything you have back there first," ... So I do. She then comes in and instead of working in the back, she's upfront BUYING MORE PRODUCT (she always buys a TON). Then, when I get there, she pulls me around the store, tells me everything that's wrong (note I haven't left behind the counter in we weeks because of buys), and then pulls me to the back, brings out a ton of bins for everyone to stock, and then leaves... That was the ultimate breaking point. I started enacting the exit plan I had come up with since I was already planning on leaving. We still don't have new bins btw.

7. Okay. So. I hired 3 new people. I knew one of them wasn't going to be great, bit figured the other two would be a good fit (this is around the time that everyone was leaving their jobs).

One girl, my favorite actually of the three, completely no showed on me and sent me a text quitting about it 40 mins before her shift though I didn't get it until 5 mins after she was supposed to show up because I DON'T CHECK MY PHONE AT WORK? I told the owner and said I could stay the extra two hours. She says, "Glad you're there."

Next day, I was able to spend some time in the back because, well, I needed to, and didn't get super far, but got some stuff done. I offered to stay longer but was told it was fine, even though one of my coworkers have herself dry socket and was in pain. We were short staffed because that girl quit.

So I go to my friend's house, glad the weeks over because I had the next day off. I then get a text from the coworker with dry socket asking was I actually did in the back. I tell her, getting really pissed at this point, and then she tells me something is leaking back there. So, I head BACK over after a 7 hour shift. She's freaking out and crying. My other coworker is trying to figure out the leak. In the meantime, product is getting wet. So, I stay back there and organize. We send the one with dry socket home and the other coworker is pretty pissed, says she's not staying past 8 and that I shouldn't either; the owner needs to if she wants the store to stay open. So, she texts the owner asking what to do, and doesn't get a reply. I text her, and get a reply 20 minutes later saying the earliest she can come in is 8...

So, this coworker tells me I need to leave because she's taking advantage of me and everything. I ended up staying another 4 hours. The owner was not there right at 8 (did I mention she's also late to almost EVERYTHING?) and seems put out because she had to scramble to find a baby sitter... Ummm... This is your store? And we could have closed early?

8. She's given me tons of shifts with BRAND new people and expected the store to run just fine. She won't even come into help with that.

9. So, I finally put in my two weeks on September 3rd. Work was so bad, I was starting to have suicidal thoughts. Everyone had just reached their breaking point and I was just done. I did not get a reply from her about it (I texted because of my anxiety). The next Tuesday she talked to me about it. I told her I was having suicidal thoughts and I wasn't happy. The next day we talk again, she and convinced me to stay if she made me the backstock manager, so I would only really deal with the back room and the stuff I actually enjoy (and no customers). She also told me she would handle staffing and front end stuff. I figured that would be a good thing, since that's what I've wanted since I started and it would be a full time position. The first week went fine. The second week I had time off, WHICH I REQUESTED BACK IN APRIL, and things just fell apart (partially because if another no show) and she did try to guikt trip me into coming in, which I refused.

It is the 22nd and I am not backstock manager. She has scheduled me 6 days this week and has scheduled it so she is only on the schedule twice. I still have to do staffing things. I'm still doing front end stuff, and she actually got snippy with me on Monday because she left for two hours and a new girl was whining about breaks and asking if she was coming back WHILE I WAS BUSY, so she asked if she could text the owner when she was coming back and I told her sure, whatever. The owner then calls me asking all these questions about why she had texted her and that she shouldn't have her phone on her and blah blah blah WHILE I AM LITERALLY TRYING TO HELP A CUSTOMER WHO DOESN'T SPEAK VERY GOOD ENGLISH!!! and then said, "Well, technically, I'm not on the schedule. I just came in to help you guys, so you're going to have to figure out breaks."

... What happened to you being in charge of the front?

She says I'll be in my new position in a matter of WEEKS, but won't show me anything new with it and with how this is going, I'm pretty sure, even if I do get in this new position, she's going to make me do shift leader stuff when she's short staffed again. She has had she entire staff quit on her before, so it's not like this is a new thing with her.

She doesn't complete all the tasks she's supposed to during the day and just leaves it for night crew, or if she's closing, for the next morning (because she does often open) but then doesn't get it done, again pushing it onto night crew. If we don't get done though, she'll reprimand us.

The problem is, I would just leave, but I feel really guilty about it. We are extremely short staffed and I feel like if I leave now, the store will fail and I've put so much into it, it just feels like a waste.

Everyone is telling me to get out and just leave... But... Anxiety... Plus I feel bad because I told her I'd stay.

Honestly, at this point I'm just looking for some validation that I should leave.

Oh, I also get paid $14... For an assistant manager position. Minimum wage in my state is $7.25 for reference. I also have a seasonal job that ends in October that doesn't pay well, but I enjoy.

Please... Thoughts?

————————

Happy New Years everyone! God, I hope that 2021 is better than 2020! Yikes!!!

Also, this was written at 2:00am (australian time) so excuse any dodgey spelling or train of events. Enjoy your New Year and this little au!

(((Btw I did write this 2 hours into the New Years but I forgot to post lol)))

- trash author 💕

————————

Only slivers of darkness had managed to fall over New York. Despite the late hour, the city was bright awake, shining and glittering and in complete chaos. It was New Years Eve after all! The full moon shone brightly above everyone’s ecstatic heads and the dark sky wavered in and out of Davey’s view as he ducked through the thick crowd.

“Wait up!” He called to Jack with a laugh, reaching out towards the boys disappearing smile. Finally, Davey had enough and stumbled out of the crowd to a spot between some stalls.

He looked around at the busy festival, the New Years Eve celebrations causing a bright explosion anywhere it could. The parks trees were decorated with beautiful lights, temporary stalls were strung up for the weekend, flowers littered the pathway. Looking up to the rides above him, he listened to the happy chatter, laughter and music that floated from it, savouring the smell of fresh caramel and roasting nuts. Suddenly hands fell on his shoulder, causing David to jump.

Jack snickered mockingly, “It’s just me!”

Elbowing him in the ribs and trying to hide his smile, Dave gestured around them, “So? Where’s the place you wanted to show me then?”

Brown hair bounced up and down as Jack looked side to side.

“Just here!”

A few moments later, and after needless wrestling through bush and sneaking past guards, Jack and Davey were seated on the Ferris Wheel.

“You could’ve just told me we were going to the Ferris Wheel, I would’ve actually paid!” Chuckled Davey.

“Where’s the fun in that?”

They sat there grinning at each other, faces melted with the warmth of their own eyes. After a while Davey looked away and out to the extraordinary view. They were travelling up above the trees and the lights, the noise and their problems, together they were above everything, and it was gorgeous.

Jack grinned. But he didn’t stare out below. Instead he studied the curve of Davey’s nose, watched the twitch of his lip as he thought, admired the intelligence and beauty in his eyes.

He instead leaned forward a tiny bit, his voice just louder than the mix of songs from below them. “I got no use for moonlight. Or sappy poetry. Love at first sight's for suckers, at least it used to be...”

Jack cleared his throat awkwardly and fiddled with the peeling rails, looking down as Davey turned back.

Jack continued, “Look, girls are nice, once or twice. Till I find someone new. But I never planned on someone like you...”

Davey’s heart throbbed in his chest, staring at the awkward smile Jack flashed at him as he finished.

Taking a shakey breath, Davey moved closer towards Jack, being jolted as the Ferris Wheel stopped abruptly (the speaker announcing that the count down would start in 5 mins). They had luckily gotten the best spot- right on top with the most wonderful and full view. But Davey didn’t really care about that because, well, Jack was right there. Face a little more flushed then usual, his flirtatious nature having slipped away only to reveal the care from his heart. Could this boy- the college boy dressed in jeans and mind bright with colours- really like Davey like that? David hoped so, oh please, please. David’s smiled wavered and he met Jacks eyes, only to look back down as he blushed and started to whisper.

“I always cared for moonlight. I wrote poetry. I read of love in fiction, but now I can see.”

Jack put out a calloused hand to place it lightly on Davey’s jaw, sending the boys stomach somersaulting.

“I mean, boys are fun, but I move on. I’ve never found someone new. So I never planned on someone like you.”

Intertwining their fingers that were laying beside each other, Davey finally let himself look back at Jacks gaze. Warmth radiated through both of them, foreheads resting against each other’s and hearts pounding so loud that it drowned the sound of the announcers.

Together they spoke, voices quiet and gentle.

“I never thought you’d plan on someone like.....me......”

Thousands of other voices suddenly surrounded them, pulling them both from their trance and causing them to look around in alarm.

“3....”

“It’s the count down!” Davey gasped, grabbing Jacks other hand and casting his eyes back up to the night sky.

“2...” Jacks head was racing but he shoved it away to smile and grip Davey’s hand tighter.

“1...”

The sky exploded with colour, lighting up their faces in soft arrays of red and white and green. Fireworks floated down like rain, popping and sizzling. Davey gigged and turned back into the Ferris Wheel.

“Happy New Yea-“ Davey was cut off as Jack leaped on top of him, cupping his face and kissing him passionately on the mouth.

He pulled away panting, face lit abruptly up again with exploding colours as another firework sizzled back down. Davey laughed nervously and paused before kissing him back. They kissed and kissed and laughed and laughed through the whole show.

When they got off they walked around hanging onto each other’s arms, their fingers intertwined, searching for the huge group that they had snuck off from.

“Where have you two been?” Katherine commented suspiciously as they caught up to them, everyone raising an eyebrow as they pranced back in.

“Ya know....just having some quality...bro-time...” Jack smirked.

Davey giggled and kissed him softly on the cheek.

And in that moment they knew they were in love.

Thoughts on “Far From Home”

SPOILERS FOR “Spider-Man: Far From Home”!!!!

this is for you anon

ok so basically i thought that it would have been good if it wasn’t a Spider-Man (“children’s”) movie.

Like, I think Quentin (Jake G) was such an interesting character, and an amazing villain but, I hated that his entire reason was because he wanted to be the New Iron Man. It bugs me to NO END that THATS the reason. Tony stole the projector tech he made, made fun of him (even if the audience didn’t know), and fired him. I think that’s a much better reason than wanting to be the next Annoying, Mean, Rich Rich Rich So Fucking Rich Metal Guy. The tech was so fucking cool? Like, projectors that seemed so lifelike,,, that’s so cool (also i kinda feel like you could relate it to how disney is only using GCI now but the russos are dumbasses). And like, the story Quentin and his team put together for Mysterio, and all the planning and the production value (if you can call it that lol) was so interesting and I was so intrigued. If there was a movie for him, and he didn’t fucking suck, I would pay to see it. His issue is that he’s so hellbent on killing Peter, MJ and Ned that I was put-off from like, half the movie. It’s kinda terrifying that someone can say, “I’ll just have to kill the kids myself,” and NO ONE IS CONCERNED??? And the fact that he was willing to kill innocent civilians just to make headlines, that’s fucked (and modern). Also, I think the directors missed out on a big opportunity for Peter to have a new father figure. Peter looked up to Quentin, trusted him, seeked him out for advice, like he would a father. I don’t remember him ever doing that with Tony. Peter was always too worried he was bothering him, and Tony seemed to brush him off a lot. Sure, Tony picked him and placed so much faith in him but, in the end? I feel Peter became more of a toy for the Avengers than an actual team member. If Quentin had been a good guy, doing this shit for the “right reasons�� (idk like, taking the burden of becoming Iron Man off Peter, and maybe mentoring him) he could’ve been AMAZING. I still love him (except his dumb reasons) but, y’all missed out!!!!

Next: The whole deal with Peter being chosen by Tony to be the next Iron Man. Fucking hate that shit!!!!! Peter is a CHILD, he’s 16, and obviously he’s not ready for that responsibility!!!! In the movie, he’s manipulated by Quentin (which i lowkey also hate and explained above) and he just!!! gave EDITH to him!!!!! He’s a good kid, but not mature or responsible enough to handle having access to that kind of tech. I mean, dude almost killed a classmate?? Literally called a drone strike on the kid, couldn’t figure out how to cancel it, and destroyed the drone himself. Let’s not forget that this responsibility was FORCED ON HIM BY TONY???? Like, there was this scene where Peter literally told Quentin that he didn’t want EDITH!!! He didn’t want that kind of responsibility that came with being Iron Man!!! All he wanted for the summer was to hang out with his friends and kiss the girl he likes!!! Peter just wanted to be a normal child for one summer and, apparently, that was too much to ask for. Also, in the scene where Happy and Peter are in the jet talking about Tony, Peter says that he doesn’t know if he can be the new Iron Man. Happy doesn’t even hesitate when he says, “No, you can’t. No one can replace him.” Like hello!!!! And then they immediately forget that little nugget of wisdom, and Peter starts playing with Tony’s tech and literally everyone with eyes can draw the parallels between Peter and Tony. It’s frustrating. I hated how Tony was treated after his death. I completely understand mourning a character, especially one as important as Tony Stark, but it didn’t feel like mourning. It felt like worshipping. Tony had become a martyr, and he fucking knew it (EDITH = Even Dead, I’m The Hero 🙄) and people are still licking his boots. It’s just so weird that, even though he’s supposed to be dead, he’s still a main character and RDJ isn’t even in the movie!!!!!!!! When a character dies, that’s it, they can’t directly influence the story anymore, and yet Tony is still the reason for everything Peter does? He doesn’t have his own initiative. He lived and breathed in Tony’s shadow, and he’ll live in it forever. He’s being forced to become the next Iron Man. And believe me, I love Tony. I grew up watching the “Iron Man” movies with my parents and brother, and I remember watching one in the theatre and laughing till I cried. Guys! He’s dead! He’s done more than enough! It’s Spider-Man’s turn now.

I really hated Nick Fury in this movie. I grew up watching the OG Marvel movies and I loved Nick, but holy fuck. This dude hounded Peter, a CHILD, for help against those Elementals when he could’ve literally asked anyone else (side note: he shot Ned with a tranquilizer dart like? dude he’s a child calm down-). He gave a shit ton of excuses for why he couldn’t get in contact with the other Avengers but, I call bullshit. This dude is like, one of the most powerful men in the world (Quentin’s words, but it’s also been proven in other movies). He managed to track down Peter, how is it THAT HARD for him to find an adult??? Then he hijacked the school trip so that Peter would be in Prague, and he KNEW that once Peter was there he would help. It’s manipulation. Never mind the scene like, 5 mins later where Peter says he’s worried about his friends getting hurt (and having EDITH but not really understanding her), and Nick exploded on him. LIKE DUDE??? he’s a child. I’m also super pissed off at the fact that Nick manipulated Peter using his Avenger status. OOOOHHHH you whore!!! Literally everyone knows that Peter loved Tony (🙄🙄) and he used him against Peter! ASK AN ADULT FOR HELP YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE TEAM OF THEM????? Oh also, the bitch KNEW Quentin was evil. There’s a scene that proves it. It’s right after their first meeting where Peter says no, and leaves. Nick and Maria (the brunette lady hes always with, im surprised i remembered her name) share a knowing glance. They fucking KNOW. And yet?? They let Quentin do whatever the hell he wants?? He literally tried to kill 3 teenagers, and planned to kill hundreds of civilians in London (and i’m not sure if anyone did get hurt or died but, i wouldn’t be surprised). But the most powerful man in the world can’t stop him, apparently. He wants a 16-year-old CHILD to do it for him. It’s ridiculous!

The romance was also a bit hit-or-miss for me. Like, Ned and Betty?? It felt so forced and contrived? It literally only existed so that MJ could take Ned’s place. Y’all notice that Ned basically ditched his best friend for the entire movie for some girl he barely knows? Also, the fact that they “fell in love” on an eight hour flight. Hate that. It’s such a trope and it’s ugly. The romance with Happy and May was kinda weird, too? I mean, I don’t know their past together. I didn’t watch “Infinty War” or “Endgame” but, it also felt forced. Especially at the end, when Peter asked if they were dating!! May said no and Happy said yes!! I’m assuming that’s supposed to be comedy?? ig??? Anyway, I didn’t really like the romantic rivalry between Brad and Peter? (btw no shit i almost called peter “tony” i’m telling y’all they’re synonymous now). Like, Brad’s logic in using the photo of Peter stripping to “expose the truth” about Peter to MJ was so weird and awkward? The entire scene felt forced and I was so uncomfortable watching it. Also, MJ would’ve stuck up for Peter anyway, so it didn’t even matter, and the rivalry was dropped so easily after the opera in Prague. I did actually like the romance between Peter and MJ, even though I wasn’t expecting to. It’s a bit weird how quickly he got over Liz, but whatever; he’s a teenager. (I was going to comment on the necklace thing but, that’s actually kind of in character for him so, y’all get ONE (1) pass). I thought their hug and kiss at the end of the battle with Quentin was super fucking sweet and innocent, and it was refreshing compared to most teen romance movies where they act like adults instead. I was in LOVE with that scene, and it was one of the only scenes I honestly loved.

Ok, I wanna go back to Quentin for a bit. This dude absolutely destroyed the Peter Parker we were given in HOCO, and at the beginning of the movie. Yeah, Tony already had him as a puppet, but Quentin took his innocence. Y’all saw how easily Peter trusted people before him!! Like?? When he found out Quentin manipulated him, he lost almost all his faith in other people, except for MJ and Ned. For example, the scene where Peter calls Happy to pick him up because he’s in a holding cell in the Netherlands? Love that scene BUT! As he’s limping over to Happy, so obviously fucked up and hurting, he makes Happy prove it’s really him. THAT FUCKING HURT LMAO!!!!! I hated that. And that last battle with Quentin on the bridge? He maneuvered so easily through the drones, it was impressive, and he’d only fought against them once before (seems impossible but whatever). And watching the projections dissolve away into just pixels and a scared little bitch in a fish bowl helmet? Classic Theatre. But, he was traumatized by previous experiences fighting Quentin. Peter’s growth made the movie good but, his loss of innocence really made this movie kinda suck. Sure, his innocence still there—the scenes later with MJ prove that—but he’s still lost his easy trust in other people. It hurt to see. And, like, I’m not saying he can’t be more mature but, he didn’t even trust Happy!! He’s so paranoid that he’ll find his loved ones replaced by Quentin’s illusions!! It sucks!!!! Peter isn’t Peter without that sense of childlike wonder, curiosity, and helpless faith in others.

Anyway, I wanna talk about that Netherlands scene again because, holy shit, I loved it. After Peter was hit by that train (i actually screamed but the cinematography inside the train? *kiss*), he wakes up in some holding cell in the Netherlands with a band of friendly locals, and the guard, who’s talking on the phone with his pregnant wife. I don’t know why but, that scene was one of the first to make me smile? Like, it was so sweet how the other men were so happy for the guard and his wife, how they gave Peter a spare shirt because he looked cold, how Peter just broke the lock and left? How the guard was wearing Peter’s mask???? I’m in love. The next scene I liked was literally right after, of Peter limping through the tulip field, and Happy landing the jet nearby. Without dialogue, that scene is so pretty?? The petals stirring in the wave the jet left as it landed?? The HUG???? UGH! I fell in love. Another scene I loved was the scene when Peter went to Berlin to meet with Nick Fury and Quentin manipulated it with the projection technology. Even though I knew it was fake, I was worried about what was going on outside the projection (he got hit by a fucking train so,,,,,, iwas right to be worried-). Watching Peter so helpless and trying to stay vigilant was so heartbreaking, yet I was lowkey impressed. Like? How many other mean ass men could pull that off? None, next question. I can’t even think about how to explain it. I watched that scene at least 3 times, and was amazed every time, my only thoughts anxiety for Peter.

Okay, lastly, I wanna talk about the tech. I thought it was so interesting and unique. Like, I’ve played with the idea of projection in stories, or with characters as magic but, never considered applying it through technology, especially tech as capable as it is. And every scene where the projections were being used were amazing. I mean, obviously it’s CGI, but in the context of the MCU, it’s so interesting and cool to see tech like that used in a very public way. And no one knew!!! The whole system (along with Quentin and his team) was so good at camouflaging that I was fooled at the beginning of the movie. I seriously believed in the Elementals and Mysterio’s ruined Earth. It’s part of the reason I really enjoyed his character. And, like I said earlier, Peter was fooled by it too; everyone was. He learned it, eventually. But not before Quentin could manipulate the situation one last time and claim Peter called the drone attacks on London, and revealed his identity.

All in all, I didn’t have fun watching “Far From Home,” and it’s mainly because it didn’t feel like a Spider-Man movie. I enjoyed “Homecoming,” so much more. The villain was far more relatable (even though you could see it as demonizing the poor), Ned and Peter’s friendship was so wholesome and sweet, the entire cast was fun, and it was more enjoyable than watching some angry rich white man trying to kill children so he can get richer.

saints row au ! ft bts and reader.

i thought of a while back and decided it could be something !

I got a little too excited wrote a lot im sorry !

because i hate cliché/‘over used ideas , i’m started from a little different.

okay so for those who haven’t played the series (which you should btw my fav) it’s starts off as a gang that building from the bottom up.

starting from sw 1 (lol switch 1) you’re dressed in unisex clothes, walking down an alley as a guy is trying to forge some fake ass watch.

“"Watches! I've got watches here! Yo! Hey man, this shit'd cost you 600 dollars in the store...aw whatever...watches!"

a prostitute is walking by asking you if you want a good time, not exactly looking at your face (this is important for later).

you hear yelling about which gang is better ,

Levar: "Oh, hell no!"

Vice Kings unnamed white male: "Man, fuck the Rollerz!" Vice Kings unnamed black male: "Levar! You gonna let those bitches disrespect us?!"

Levar: "Shit, what you think?

"Levar sprays over the Westside Rollerz tag

Westside Rollerz unnamed white male: "Fuck you think you're doin'?" Vice Kings unnamed white male: "Jus' bein' civic minded, is all." Westside Rollerz unnamed asian male: "That so?" Vice Kings unnamed black male: "Yeah, some dumb ass cracka went and shit on this wall, and we jus' cleanin' it up.

"The Westside Rollerz and Vice Kings fight, and a Los Carnales Hollywood pulls up.

Los Carnales unnamed Hispanic male: "Hector says "Buenas noches..."" Levar: "Shit!"

next thing you know it there gun shots and a car coming your way.

 you push the prostitute the other way and jump as the car explodes.

Vice Kings unnamed black male: "Wrong time, wrong place, dawg.

a guy comes up and said wrong place wrong time with a gun to your head *BANG*

you open your eyes to see a black man and a white man with a cigarette in his mouth. 

Julius: "You okay, playa?" Troy: "Julius, let's move."The Carnales Hollywood explodesJulius: "That don't look so bad, you should be fine. That's Troy. You can thank him later."

Troy: "Hey."

Julius: "The Row ain't safe no more, son. We got gangs fightin' over shit that ain't theirs, and you in they way. They don't care if you representin' or not."

Troy: "Julius, this is no time to recruit..."

Julius: "We need all the help we can get, son."

Troy: "No, we need to get our asses outta here."

Julius: "In a minute! Look, the Row's got a problem. Come to the church when you wanna be a part of the solution. 

(if you couldn’t tell i took the dialogue straight from the game. I promise it’ll make a lot sense later)

“fuck” you thought not really had much in mind at first but then you went to the church and some asian man was screammed then looked at you

“yo who the fuck is this guy” the man said

“new blood, coming to make a difference” Julius said

“well if he wanna be part of the saints he gotta get cantonized” another asian man said.

“they’re right jules” troy saids

julius sighs and agreed

at this point youre kinda peeved, first they assuming your damn gender the next two wack jobs think you ain’t shit.

gang members start to jump you but shit you whopped they shit real quick

after you got mad respect every one complementing you besides the two asian men. 

you sooner or later find out after taking over back a bit of the saint territory that the two asian men names were yoongi min and namjoon kim.

both crazy motherfuckers but two lieutenants of the saints. they call you a mix of the two after that

yoonji, troy, dexter (dex for short),yoongi and namjoon all lieutenants

(yoonji will be replacing lin bc im doing things different plot wise and yoongi and namjoon will replace johnny gat )

it turns out that yoonji and yoongi were twins

“So you're Julius' new boy. You don't look like much. Then again, I don't look like I got an eight inch cock. So I guess we're both full of surprises.” yoongi said and shrugs while namjoon chuckkles at your reaction 

after a mission with johnny and namjoon over the vice kings you all got closer. (even if you didn’t talk cause fuck it they thought you were a guy might as well keep up with it)

in the span of about 6 months you became closer to the yoonji,yoongi and namjoon while everyone else seem to hate you including julius.

the four of you were fucking sociopaths, going on murder sprees and keeping body counts.

after reclaiming stillwater from other gangs things went downside you ended up getting blown up attempting to save your leader.

Saints row 2

( should i continue for 2 the rest of the guys will be including then )
