lando has some trauma

[linkspooky]

It's not just the fact that Hori decided to kill a lifelong victim of grooming.

My two favorite comic book storylines are New Teen Titans Judas Contract, and Uncanny X Men's Inferno. They both feature villains / victims (Madelyne Pryor and Terra) that die at the end of the story. Terra is specifically fifteen years old and a victim of sexual grooming.

However, both of these stories are clearly written as tragedies. It's clear from the start that these are tragic stories not only meant to get us to sympathize with the victim turned villain but also the failure to save a clear victim is meant to make the heroes look bad.

Let me just list off all the shit Scott Summers put Madelyne Pryor through.

Fell in love with her only because she looked like his ex girlfriend Jean. Even though Madelyne specifically stated before getting into the relationship she didn't want to be jeans replacement.

Married her, and refuses to take time off to the point where he misses the birth of his own son leaving Madelyne at home to deliver her baby on the floor.

When he finally retires and they move to Alaska together he gets a phone call that Jean is still alive and abandons his wife and daughter for weeks to go back to his high school girlfriend.

Madelyne is attacked by a group of supervillains while Scott is away and just barely manages to escape but loses her baby.

She joins up with the x men to look for scott only to find out in the time she's been gone Scott had already gotten back together with Jean.

She is tricked into making a deal with a demon who wants to overthrow ilyanas control of limbo (she thought it was just a dream and the contract to sell her soul didn't matter).

She used her newfound power in order to find her child Nathan only to find Mr sinister there who reveals that Madelyne was a clone of Jean Grey, her entire life was a lie, she was made to breed with cyclops and produce a baby for sinister.

At which point madelyne snaps and decides to burn everything to the ground and kill her own child.

It's clearly telegraphed as a tragedy. The reference to Medea is pretty obvious. Madelyne had no chance from the beginning, however even in this tragedy Scott specifically forbid any of the heroes from using lethal force on her. Jean and Maddie mindmeld at one point and Jean literally begs for Maddie not to die and that she should live on to raise her son. They even throw a funeral for Maddie afterwards because be no one else would ever mourn her.

Not only do the heroes look bad, especially Scott for not being able to save her, they do at least try to talk with her, use non lethal force, and beg her at one point to let them help her.

On the other hand not only did Deku never engage Shigaraki Tomura once, just the vision of a crying child in front of him. Deku doesn't look like a failure for failing in his goal to save him he's still the greatest hero, they don't hold a funeral for Shigaraki, Dekus last words are about how he doesn't forgive Shigaraki (and therefore he deserves to die i guess because deku is the punisher now). Deku doesn't even give Shigaraki the respect of calling him by his preferred name he just calls him Tenko who was the only person Deku cared about saving.

It's not just about a victim dying it's about how the story promised us over and over again the kids were going to save the villains in the final act, that this was going to be an optimistic story about the new generation being better than the old.

Only for Horikoshi to deliver something entirely different. If I'm watching punisher I know what I'm getting into. I'm here to watch Frank Castle shoot mobsters. If Batman picks up a Tommy Gun and starts shooting mobsters that's bad because Batman wouldn't do that shit.

There's writing a story that's tonally inconsistent, or changing your plans for how a character is going to end late in the game and then there's this.

Which is basically narrative gaslighting. Where one thing is clearly happening onscreen but the narrative needs you to believe those gaslights clearly are not dimming.

I know Deku made no effort to save Shigaraki when he explicitly said they OFA is a power for saving but not killing, but don't worry Deku became the greatest hero anyway, and this is still a happy optimistic ending!

Horikoshi isn't looking for treasure in the house. Those gaslights aren't dimming. You're clearly being hysterical, woman.

Because Gwen is a teenager who was betrayed by her father and taken in by adults who constantly filled her head with the idea that people, including her dad, had to die for millions to be saved. Because despite said adults knowing the bad situation she was in chose to treat her completely like an agent, a warrior, a soldier instead of a child that needed love and compassion. Because despite living in fear of Miguel sending her back home, she still chose to disobey him to see Miles when she had the chance because she loves him that much. Because she was in a lose/lose situation where telling Miles about his dad needing to die would inflict a pain she was experiencing and didn't want him to bear, but not telling him would run the risk of him finding out from someone else and making her look like she was being malicious. Because she was used as a scapegoat by Miguel when he was the main reason Miles was able to escape, and punished by him for it. Because she recognized the hurt she caused and took accountability, unlike any of the adults in her life including PETER B. PARKER. Because she is actively trying to make up for the mistakes she made while she was still under Miguel's influence.

None of you media illiterate dweebs who treat her like she's Judas Iscariot and the Whore of Babylon combined because she made some very understandable mistakes should continue to watch these children's movies because I'm afraid the writing for Gwen is too complicated for you to grasp. Gwen has actual, meaningful flaws than cause actual, meaningful conflict and lead her her having actual, meaningful character development. Even more pertinent, her failings aren't a result of any kind of malice, but rather a desire to not see the people she loves hurt, an understandable character trait that stems from the trauma of her accidentally killing someone close to her OH MY GOD DO YOU NOT WATCH THESE MOVIES?

Honestly Peter B is way more infuriating in this movie since he's an adult who doesn't view Miguel as an authority figure (if their comic relationship is the same in this movie then they're friends and Miguel has a lot of respect for Peter) and has nothing for Miguel to hold over his head like Gwen did. He should have known better, he should have been the one most defending Miles, he should have defended Gwen when Miguel was blaming her for something Peter knew wasn't her fault. He was RIGHT THERE next to Gwen on the train and saw Miguel fail to subdue Miles (despite the fact that he could have, you know, injected him with a powerful, non lethal paralytic that would have made it exceedingly easy to take Miles into custody and instead decided to monologue like a dipshit). Give me a reason other than abject misogyny why you think Gwen deserves to be hated in a way Peter doesn't, I dare you.

Rant over. TL:DR, Gwen doesn't deserve the hate she gets from idiots in the fandom who can't see past "Muh poor Miles got his feelings hurt."

Parasite 10.1

Welcome back Taylor, missed you, glad we come back to immediately find you waist-deep in moral sketchiness.

Never let it be said that Wildbow doesn't know how to establish a scene. You can feel the desperation and despair in the mounting heat and filth of the city streets, and of course Taylor's power means she can clock that better than a lot of other parahumans.

There's something very sad about the fact that Angelica is the last dog standing from the original three, and that even then she's still fucked up from the damage Fog did.

And of course Rachel probably puts a lot of blame for that on having saved Taylor's scrawny ass at the cost of Brutus and Judas, plus the other six dogs. Even if she would've made that attack on Leviathan without Taylor there, I'd be shocked if that association wasn't there.

I swear to god the official word for this liveblog is "bleak," but I'll stop calling things bleak when they stop being bleak, how about that.

Siblings!

Yeah, what I said earlier.

The fact that Shadow Stalker actually seems to respect the Undersiders more for being hardcore as fuck is. A little funny. Like okay, I guess her worldview has some consistency.

Also yeah, gotta be weird to realize you were going to school with a murderous vigilante. Can only imagine how Winslow students would feel about realizing Taylor was goddamn Skitter.

I'll admit it, this feels bad. Sophia deserves comeuppance for being a violent murderer but what she's about to be put through is beyond the pale. Genuinely one of the most fucked up things that has happened in this story so far.

But we'll get to that later.

Siblings!

Tattletale managing to be the peacemaker for once, which is a little funny.

Grue being exasperated by Imp is funny, but then it gets sad again when he looks over at Skitter because. Yeah. They'd actually gotten along okay for the most part, until the kiss and the Nazi attack, and then Armsmaster tried to ruin the relationship further and mostly succeeded.

The fascinating thing with Taylor is that she's also pretty uncomfortable with the moral lines she's crossing and how fast she's crossing them, it's just that she's really good at not letting that discomfort slow her down.

Quick overview of the Undersiders' current states, courtesy of Taylor's goddamn panopticon abilities. Also: puppies!

This was scary as fuck on the first read-through, and this time it's more... I think Alec has a bad sense of humor. Again, raised in a cult, so it's hard to know what's appropriate for comedy and what's, uhh, using your bodyjacking victim to falsely threaten the life of a teammate, but still.

Freaky as hell.

Current Thoughts

Regent's "secret weapon" turns out to be the scariest goddamn power of any Undersider, so that's. Something.

The group's tension with Taylor is palpable, even if it's just Brian and Rachel who seem to be feeling it with any heat. I dunno if Alec is one to forgive things easily (doubtful) or if he's enough of a pragmatist to let Taylor back in with relatively little complaint. Maybe it's a mild thing compared to the trust and loyalty he's used to with Heartbreaker's kids. I'll be curious to see whether Brian or Rachel relent first, because I think it could go either way.

Hoo boy. This arc. Thiiiis arc. I can't believe I'm feeling bad for Sophia goddamn Hess, but we've found a way to do it.

[smilingformoney]

Apart from HP, what are your fav Rickman movies or characters? <3

07. Hans Gruber (Die Hard)

Unwanted Solitude - Detective David Friedman x Reader

Warnings: Sexual content (Not smut), Alcohol

Word Count: 1200

Pairing: Detective David Friedman x Reader

Summary: David gets drunk preparing to spend another Christmas alone

AN: So... I've never watched Judas Kiss. I had plans to do so, but then I got super busy. Excuse any horrific mischaracterization, I tried my best but most of my basis for his character comes from other fanfics... I think he has a daughter in the movie? Maybe? Beware this might be absolute shite. As a Southerner myself I tried to include some Christmas traditions I partake in too! :)

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅

The couch groaned as David leaned back, setting his legs atop the coffee table, he seated himself in his usual spot in front of the TV. In a less-than-merry mood, he ate his Christmas dinner, if one could even call it that, alone. Lily was with her mother, where she belonged, enjoying a joyful holiday free of his melancholy. He told himself it was the right choice—she deserved better than a brooding father for company. Still a child, she deserved a Christmas with all the over-the-top cheesy, family Christmas stuff he couldn't bring himself to do.

He liked to think of himself as a good father. Maybe not the best… certainly, not the best, but he placed his daughter’s welfare above his own, even if it meant countless holidays alone for him. While David was used to the solitude, he couldn’t help but feel a bit downtrodden around the holidays. His marriage to his ex-wife left much to be desired, but even so, having a family to come home to around the holidays was better than the pity party he was currently throwing. 

Normally, David survived the holidays by picking up extra shifts at the station, keeping himself too busy to dwell on the solitude, but this year, for reasons he couldn’t quite pin down, he hadn’t done that. Besides the lack of work, this year happened to be no different for David… or so he thought.

Half drunk, watching some cheesy Christmas Hallmark movie he’d never even heard of, David shoveled a forkful of the instant ramen he microwaved into his mouth before he heard his doorbell ring. Sighing loudly as he threw the cup down on his coffee table with a little more force than he intended, he grumbled lowly as he walked over to his front door. Not even bothering with the peephole, he ripped the door open and glared at whoever dared to disturb his Christmas celebrations. “What?” He said in an irritated fashion, half expecting some carolers to be at his door.

Seeing you, he paused, looking down at your hands he saw the mountain of food you brought with you that you were currently balancing quite precariously. Dressed in an ugly Christmas sweater and wearing a ridiculous dangling mistletoe headband, he looked between you, his girlfriend, and the food in confusion. Before he could even speak, you cut him off, “Merry- are you drunk?” You said, narrowing your eyes at David.

“What’s it to you?”, he responded gruffly, leaning against the doorway as he crossed his arms over his chest. 

Pushing past him, you shook your head, “We’ll discuss your drinking later, move, it’s way too cold to be standin’ outside holding all this food.” Placing several large tubs on his countertop, you pulled even more out of your bag along with two presents, one labeled David and another Lily.

“Where’s Lily?” You spoke, looking around his house for any sign of the little girl and the cheerful presence she emanated, feeling nothing but David’s usual grumpiness you arched a brow in confusion. Turning to David you awaited his response.

“At her mother’s. How’d’ya even carry all this?” David asked in his familiar Southern drawl, still baffled by the sheer amount of food you managed to haul inside. His gaze lingered on your playful mistletoe headband, and a mischievous smirk crossed his face as he stepped closer 

Turning to face him, you fell right into his trap, oblivious to his intentions. Still not quite realizing it yet, you started opening the tubs and explaining their contents, “Oh, I see, you had Lily in the morning and now she’s at her mother's for the night. That's a real shame, I made her favorite. See, I made pecan pie, gumbo, pralines, and I made you some of my famous-” 

Before you could finish your sentence, David snaked an arm around your waist and pulled you into an unexpected kiss—sloppy, intense, and utterly passionate.

Once he broke away, you blinked up at him, not quite sure what to say. Finally, regaining your composure, you spoke in a slightly dazed and angry tone. “Dave! What the hell was that?” Seeing him smirk, with that same sly smile that always graced his face when he was under the influence of alcohol, you narrowed your eyes at him.

“What? You got mistletoe on your head. I’m just respectin’ tradition” he said, his tone laced with playful arrogance and cheek. David wasn’t exactly subtle about his interest in you when sober, but now that he’d had a few drinks, his confidence had soared. Gone were the usual teasing comments; tonight, he wanted to come across abundantly clear.

“You drunk bastard!” you swatted at him lightly, sighing as you shook your head unable to keep a smile from gracing your lips. Feeling him pull you against himself by your hips, you looked up at him in exasperation, an underlying feeling of guilt crept into your voice as you spoke, “If I’d known you were spendin’ Christmas all alone I would’ve come earlier darlin’.”

Shaking his head, David dismissed your guilt with a simple smile, something rare but not uncommon for him when either you or Lily were around. “You’re fine doll, I was half expectin’ to be at the station this Christmas anyway,” seeing you frown, he arched a brow at you. “I do it every year, don’t give me that look.”

“That’s the problem, Dave, you have me now,” you said with a teasing smile. “I’m more than happy to spend the day with you and Lily if you’d let me. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if we finally moved in together. Your place could really use… a woman’s touch,” you gestured playfully at the sparse furniture and the perpetually empty fridge which you often scolded him about.

“It’s my bachelor pad doll,” he said with mock indignation, pulling you closer as he buried his face in the crook of your neck. “But yes, I think I would be the happiest man on earth if my girl decided to come live with me,” he said in a husky voice, right next to your ear which held clear sexual innuendo.

“Aright’ enough yammering,” you chuckled, rolling your eyes at David’s insatiable attitude. “We can discuss the finer details later, I have a present for you,” you said, taking the box from the counter into your hands before handing it to David who reluctantly separated himself from you in favor of opening the box. Tearing open the wrapping paper, he saw a beautifully bound book resting on some purple tissue paper, the cover gave away no hints as to what its contents were, leading David to become all the more curious.

Picking the book up, he opened it to be met with the most jaw-dropping, stunningly sinful boudoir photos. Every single picture was of you in a new piece of delightfully skimpy lingerie in all sorts of provocative poses, including a few pictures of you in his very own bed. David’s mouth immediately went dry as he gazed up at you with nothing but raw desire in his eyes, “You. Bed. Now.”

Next Rickmas Prompt: Day 13 - To Belong - Judge Turpin

[thedevillionaire]

If I may be greedy, 3, 4, 6, 9 (yes I am 👀ing Cerb) & 11 for Cerberus and Kia?

Greedy is totally fine! This is a nice bunch, too. :D

3) What song describes your OC?

Cerberus has two main "theme songs": Dance With Fire by Operus, and The Cage by Attrition. He's had more than one Underworldian song written about him, too, though I don't have actual music for those, just lyrics, due to me being a craptacular singer. Only one of these is currently anywhere online: Green Fire

For Kia, Love An Adventure by Pseudo Echo.

4) What song describes your OC and their partner/love interest?

As a couple, they have a few, actually, but the main two are A Touch of Evil by Judas Priest, and Body and Soul by the Sisters of Mercy.❤️

6) If your OC is in a fantasy setting, what profession would they be in the modern day?

Cut time!

This is really tricky for Cerberus, actually, and the only thing I'm confident of is that he'd be his own boss. Possibly the world's hottest occult bookstore owner/operator lol. But I can also see him not working a "regular" sort of job at all, and being the kind of super-successful investor that can live off passive income and do whatever he wants in his (significant) spare time, and that may not be a whole lot different - although with a "mortal plane" skew, of course - to what he does now.

lol maybe he'd be a cult leader. 🤣 He was mortally pyrokinetic, after all. Kia had all sorts of odd jobs when she was mortal. She's been a masseuse, a supermarket checkout chick, a fashion consultant/assistant, a pole dancer, a telemarketer, a typist... She'd probably settle into something customer-service focused that didn't require a degree/formal qualifications.

9) How does your OC handle their physical health? Do they take care of themselves?

Cerberus is excellent at this...until he gets sick. 😂😂 He's very physically fit, in great shape, looks after his physical needs overall extremely well. Eats well, exercises, is very hygiene-conscious. He's kind of a workaholic and should almost certainly take more time off for just relaxation, but that's about as lax as he gets about his general physical wellbeing. And he doesn't often get sick at all. BUT. Partly due to infrequency/unfamiliarity with getting ill, partly just that he's always so resentful that it even happened, how fucking dare this happen, and he's just...patently terrible at accepting his fate about it. 😅 So when the Healing meds don't instantly and completely cure things, he's prone to completely disregarding everything he's told to do, because it's already proved pointless again, as usual, so why not try [insert probably bad idea here] instead. Kia's made things way better for him in this regard, and he's the best of all possible selves with her around, but still. He's a notoriously dreadful patient and he deserves every bit of that reputation lol.

Kia is also very fit, although less hygiene-conscious, and also far more likely to socialise in large groups, etc. She gets sick a regular amount, and is much better at looking after herself when it happens, too. She gets a bit cranky about it at times, sure, but she's pretty accepting of it as just a part of life, and just...deals. Not to say she doesn't enjoy a good spoiling when she's unwell. Cerberus, for all his failings at being a good patient, actually makes a wonderful caretaker.

11) What was your inspiration for your OC?

Cerberus was supposed to be a one-off serve-a-purpose temporary creation and problem-solver. I made too many OCs in early Underworld times and thought if I just had...like half of them killed off in one fell swoop, sort of thing, I could get back on track, haha. Anyway, so, he was meant to just come in, do damage, fuck off.

He...did not do that. 🤷‍♀️ I mean, he absolutely did do what I, um, brought him in for. He just also decided to stick around and take over the place afterwards.

IDEK. I'm just a dumb scribe lol. And I genuinely do not remember what/who inspired Kia, but she was also an unexpected "success story". She was an Incept, brought into the Underworld's Vampirism Caste by another OC pretty much nobody's met here - Vesuvius - and just...went about being Kia. And here we are. 🫠

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: An Insufferably Queer Film Review

I rewatched MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE (1987) for the first time since it came out last night and WOW I have some thots about this thing. We enjoyed roasting the living shit out of it but there's a few gold nuggets in there despite the brutal budget cuts that impacted the plot and what not.

Contains plenty of spoilers.

God bless Wardrobe

OK so … the film doesn't bother to set up any real motivations for the characters, and He-Man (an incredible looking Dolph Lundgren rrrowrrrr) has almost no dialogue which is such a fucking waste. But this complete lack of narrative framework means we can apply OUR OWN explanations to events.

From the very beginning Skeletor has this obsession with He-Man, which will simmer and then culminate in a final showdown. But before we get to that hot mess, we have to wade through the middle of the film.

He gets as much screen time as He-Man.

Meet the utterly repulsive dwarf scientist Gwildor played by Billy Barty, a rinse-and-repeat of his performance as an utterly repulsive magic troll in Legend (1986). This dwarf is the film's Jar Jar. His face is like a deep dish pizza after an acid attack. His real mouth is visible behind the immobile thick prosthetics and it makes for some truly disturbing close-up dialogue shots. Please, pan away from Pizza the Hutt and give us another shot of Lundgren's pecs please I am begging you, DP

We find ourselves in Gwildor's hobbit hole, and he's a magical inventor. So he has this cylindrical object, it's not clear whether it's a weapon or a teleporter but I'm calling it the Butt-Reamer 9000. Inexplicably, there are two of these things and Skeletor has the other one, and wants to collect both of them. So Skeletor has an excuse to go hunting He-Man as he's hunting his missing McGuffin, er I mean sex toy.

Features rotating ticklers, a big improvement over the Butt Reamer 8000.

The thing about the Butt-Reamer 9000 is its magical power to make even this promising setup devolve into a grind as it whisks the Eternians into the magical, enchanting world of a 1987 New Jersey parking lot. WHO WROTE THIS?

The entire middle of the movie is pretty much hot garbage and involves police detectives, arson, vandalism, high school prom, and other dumb bullshit. Aside from the distractingly naked He-Man, the good guys are an utter bore and include some Eternians, some regular Earth humans and their quotidian concerns which really brings down the fun of the movie. (No, baby Courtney Cox, I don't care about your imminent breakup with your mediocre boyfriend!)

The film owes a second mortgage to Star Wars and steals a lot of ideas from it, from bad guys in shiny black stormtrooper helmets, to heroes shooting blue lasers, baddies shooting red.

Let's turn from this depressing state of affairs and focus back on our cherished villain blorbos.

(L-R: Karg, Evil-Lyn our goddess, and Blade.)

Evil-Lyn is beautiful, evil, a cold bitch queen. Gurl you can do so much better than sticking with this loser Skeletor.

Dump! Him! He's gay anyway!

Skeletor is a shit lazy boss of Greyskull and makes Evil-Lyn run the goddamn place in general. He literally shoots the messenger at one point. Great for morale, there, Skel buddy.

Look closer. Fierce!

There's a number of budget rate henchmen on the job, including Karg, who used a whole can of aqua net this morning and is running around in a white fur capelet with a massive bouffant. He is just doing his best okay, really it's hard to look fabulous around these other bitches.

Blade definitely deserved more screen time

Also, Blade, who had a slutty costume of silvery scale maille or something, and was a bit like a sci-fi bondage Riff Raff / space Judas Priest. Best side character costume.

So, there we have it, the queer coded villain roster of the film.

This homemade collage is for sure taped inside Skeletor's locker at school

Note the gigantic brown eye.

Finally, thank Satan, we return to Castle Greyskull, though it's more like beige-and-brown-skull. But aside from the questionable use of faux marble finishes, this is a quality villain lair with hard points installed directly in the floor of the living room, convenient death pits, and an excellent throne setup that I'm pretty sure they recycled for The Fifth Element.

He-Man is captured alive and brought before Skeletor. Blade does the honors with a 15 foot glowing red bullwhip to He-Man's naked and oiled back, much to the delight of dyed-in-the-wool sadist Evil-Lyn.

Movie is getting good now. Was the side quest to Jersey really necessary?

Skeletor, though, watches this action from the throne and has a lot of interesting responses. We had to conclude that Skeletor is a big old bottom but won't admit it. As a dom he is utterly ineffective. He's trying to make He-man kneel and all this shit but He-Man is not submissive at all. Skeletor is … lol. He really just wants to smell He-Man's dick.

The depths (heh) of his bottom nature will become apparent shortly. But first, a costume change.

Skeletor's glow up --- i'm every woman.

Honey we know you're just trying to impress He-man.

Werk tho.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Hole

The gigantic sky-sphincter directly behind the throne has slid open wide… "Begin! The Goatse Ritual! Join me, He-Man, as I become LORD OF THE GAPE" But He-Man's phallic symbol shines bright in defiance. In the end, Skeletor is vanquished symbolically by his own nature and instead of his hole swallowing He-Man, a gaping hole swallows Skeletor instead.

They don't really explain what happened to Evil-Lyn after He-Man's inevitable victory in final man to man combat but she was too smart to get caught sleeping in there and must have survived. What a hot evil competent BABE. After the events of the film end, I vote that Evil-Lyn seduces Teela (the good guy solder lady) and has a hot toxic lesbian affair with her.

Evil-Lyn serves cunt in hell 4 evar

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

[arizonaaaaaa]

Glee cast sings Born This Way by Lady Gaga

Marry the Night sung by Elliot ‘Starchild’ Gilbert in “A Katy or a Gaga”

-I’ll say it right away, I think this cover is better than the original, I’m not ashamed to say it, maybe just a bit, Elliot’s version of the song is just so good you can’t love, would be better if he was in drag but that was too woke for Ryan Murphy

Born This Way sung by Kurt, Mercedes and Tina in “Born This Way”

-this is one isn’t better than the original but it’s also very good, I couldn’t imagine someone other than Kurt to say the little monologue at the start, Mercedes and Tina also kill in this song, however I’m still pissed they cut the “no matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgender life” from the episode when Kurt just came back and Santana is dealing with her sexuality, it just fits so much, I also don’t like the shirts, I’d do something like Wanna be Startin’ Something and have all of them dance while wearing a Gaga outfit

Government Hooker sung by Puck and Rachel in “The First Time”

-I imagine this as Rachel trying to prove to Artie that she can be sexy while being a virgin, she would ask Puck to help, and while he does great with his bad boy charm she would once again rock the “sad clown hooker” look, I’m not sure if Puck could do a Dutch accent but it’s worth to try

Judas sung by Joe Hart in season 4

-two words, Kitty Wilde, Joe had no storylines this season, and if I’m being honest I think they were trying to push a romance between these two before deciding to create that random romance between Kitty and Artie, either way it could be interesting seeing Joe singing this, as if “Judas” was tempting him into sinning, and I mean, what is Kitty if not a little satanic version of Quinn Fabray?

Americano sung by Cassandra July in “The New Rachel”

-I don’t like this mash-up🫣, I would either stick with Americano or Dance Again, since this is a Gaga post that’s what I’m sticking with, it’s not all that spectacular but it gets the job done, Santana could do the song justice but I rather not have the only Latina sing this

Hair sung by Quinn Fabray in “The Purple Piano Project”

-Skank!Quinn deserved a song! This song feels almost like a coming out scene, making a connection between hair and freedom, since it’s the only body part we can change without judgment, guess what happens with Quinn’s hair this season

Scheiße sung by Brittany, Quinn and Santana

-honestly I just want Quinn and Santana singing a feminist anthem, their voices would work a lot, and it kind of matches their season 4 selves, just throw Brittany singing the “German” parts and there, you have an amazing trio

Bloody Mary sung by Tina Cohen-Chang in “The Sue Sylvester Shuffle”

-this would be PEAK goth Tina, she and the girls would be in their zombie make up on stage teaching the glee guys and the football players how to be scary and zombie-y, Mr Schue and the gluys would hype them up while the football guys would be confused and a little scared, Tina was really robbed of solos on the show and I think she deserved this one since her only actual solo in season 2 was cut less than halfway through

Black Jesus † Amen Fashion sung by Mercedes and Quinn

-this was hard to choose, but after analyzing the lyrics as well as the background of the song I think these two would fit quite well, Black Jesus represent a different view on both religion and life in general, which for me fits Quinn’s character, while Amen Fashion represent how easy it is to change just like your fashion, which after thinking really represents Mercedes personality change from season 3 to 4, she obviously became more mature and a better friend for me, they’re also Christian which was another reason to assign them this song

Bad Kids sung by Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman in season 3

-this song is very Puck coded, especially his “Lima loser era”, the song starts with a heavy guitar solo but the guitar is barely used after that, if Puck would sing it, I would make the song way more rock n’ roll to fit his vibe during the end of the season, also the song is about embracing yourself for however you are, and I guess Puck would embrace his bad kid side

Fashion of His Love sung by Mercedes Jones in season 5

-this song was made for Mercedes Jones in her adult phase, being a tribute to Alexander McQueen and Whitney Houston, it fuses elements from McQueen’s fashion, Whitney’s inspired beats and several references to religion and god, this had so much potential on being a church choir song

Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) sung by Brittany and Kurt in “I am Unicorn”

-I was actually dumbfounded when this song wasn’t featured at all in the episode, like, the episode is named after unicorns what do you mean, this could be one instance where a character just starts singing, which would be Brittany and another one joins in after being confused with the sudden singing, which would be Kurt

Heavy Metal Lover sung by Kitty Wilde in season 4

-this would be the song Kitty would choose to confess her love for Ryder, which would be actually very funny since this song is so kinky and bdsm-y and Ryder is objectively the most vanilla guy ever, I can totally picture him being all 😃 during the whole song, sadly for Kitty, Ryder doesn’t reciprocate her feelings

Electric Chapel sung by Elliot and Santana

-I actually don’t have idea for an episode or season where this song would fit, the only reason I chose this two is because I think their voices would fit the song, also because this is my favorite song from Gaga ever, and I think they would do it’s justice

The Queen sung by Marley Rose in “Diva”

-Marley doesn’t sing in the episode at all, she could sing this to show that despite being shy and sweet and kind she can still be a diva, or in this case a queen, also this song may be a tribute to Freddie Mercury and it’s kind of a coincidence since Blaine sings a song by him on the episode

Yoü and I sung by Shelby and Will in “Mash Off”

-I’m not a hater or this mash-up but I am a fan of this song, so no mash-up, Will does sound really good but he sings more of the other You and I so I’d distribute the lines a little more equally between the two, Shelby does a decent job, the song originally talks about a past relationship of Gaga, but I guess lyrics wise it can also be a song of Will wishing the New Directions could be together again, it was never shown but I know he was sad over the girls leaving, they were kind of his daughters, Shelby is just giving support, hate this woman

The Edge of Glory sung by Mercedes, Quinn, Santana and Tina with the Trouble Tones in “Nationals”

-this song was done great, I have no complaints, Santana sing in the start is the best part for me, Quinntina slay their verse and Mercedes does excellent as usual

Bonus: songs that aren’t from the album but are from the same era

Stuck on Fuckin’ You sung by April Rhodes

-this song was written for April omg, that’s literally a song about her admitting her attraction to Will while saying how he is her alcohol and her addiction, and while I’m not a fan of April or her situationship with Will she’s pretty much the only woman that can sing country so she’s an obvious choice, let’s see how many times she appears in Joanne

And that’s it, this was really fun to write, I absolutely love this album, it’s by far my favorite, the next one is ARTPOP, and I’ll admit I didn’t like this album at first, but upon re-listening to it opened my eyes to its perfection, see you next week or so :)

[frizzle-mcshizzle]

Hey I just want to say thank you for your kind words on Katie’s blog you and her are proof to me of how kind and forgiving good Christians are -Judas

oh of course!! honestly my intention is to show that Christians are actually capable of being loving people (“ain’t no hate like Christian love” exists for a reason and i’ve experienced it first hand more times than i can count)

i believe everyone is capable of changing and deserves a chance to show that they be a better person, i can tell you’re probably a young teen, and everyone and i mean everyone makes mistakes especially at that age, you deserve a chance to grow and you saw an opportunity and are taking it in stride. i am honored to see you grow like that because it’s something i never thought i would get to see in the way i did.

[bludpudding]

thoughts on corinthiel?

yowza. well. to put it simply it’s the equivalent of telling me to fuck a version of jesus christ that was also once a child I treated as my own son. so. gonna go ahead and give that one a hard pass

all that aside, I reject the symbolism of kneeling to an entity that claims they know you better than you know yourself with every fiber of my being. both iterations of dream have torn corinthian apart for showing any sign of searching for a happier life. he deserves a better ending than to lose the freedom and sense of self worth he’s been fighting for.

he’s been brainwashed beyond belief and doesn’t have the energy to run anymore, even if there’s still a part of him deep down that wishes for something better. begging your god to free you from the sin he placed you into at birth will be a life spent dreaming without result. the corinthian is the antithesis to this concept. he walks his own path, searching for joy in the only way he knows how, and because of that he is shunned by his own creator.

the story of judas iscariot is a good example of how easy it is to be painted as a villain for reasons out of your control.

Tamar | Like We Used To | Romantic [Male Reader]

Dialogue prompt: "You're a remarkable person."

Upon purchasing an olive grove that turns out to be less fruitful than what you had bargained for, you and Tamar rekindle the business you used to have when you were younger.

Requested by J Bart

“I’m telling you, we have been cheated out of our money! We made a grave error in our judgement, and now we must live with these consequences!” 

You know that voice and tone better than anyone else. Looking up from your writing, you see your childhood friend Tamar stomp into the room with a sour look on her face. Behind her enters Mary Magdalene with a frown knitting together her brow, her attempts to comfort Tamar’s obvious irritation in vain.

Tamar haphazardly tosses a basket of freshly picked olives on the table, her features twisted into sheer displeasure.A few fruits roll out upon impact.

“What’s going on?” you ask, reaching out to take an olive, but Tamar pushes away your hand before she even realises she is doing so. Her fingers linger on yours and she needs a second to gather her thoughts. 

“Don’t,” she commands, removing her hand, “It would be a disgrace to have you eat from these.” 

Sudden embarrassment grows within her dark eyes. You’re uncertain as to why she feels that way, but before you can open your mouth to inquire about it, she huffs and leaves the room in a hurry. 

You turn to Mary, who gives you an apologetic smile. “What happened?” There is no judgement in your voice. 

“We bought an olive grove.” Mary starts, causing a smile to tug at your lips. 

“Oh, an olive grove? My late father used to own one back at home, before it was destroyed by a forest fire. We used to make such refined oils. It’s how I met Tamar.”

Mary nods, smiling a little. “I know. She told me all about it while we were discussing whether to buy it or not.” Your heart skips a beat at the idea of your childhood friend talking about you in that way - a fond memory of the past, a strong foundation of your friendship - but Mary’s smile falls and you cannot ask further. “However, it turns out that we’ve been swindled.”

“Swindled?”

“Have a taste.” She gestures at the basket of olives Tamar has thrown onto the table.

You raise an eyebrow. “But Tamar just said not to.”

Mary shrugs. “I think she’s just a little embarrassed. She feels like we’ve made ourselves a bad deal, and since we are women, we’ve been under more scrutiny regarding how we spend our time and money in the ministry than the others.”

You want to open your mouth to protest that, but the words die in your throat. After all, there is some truth to her words, as much as you’d like to be able to contest them.

“I don’t blame either of you. It’s not like you could have known. Besides, Judas is the keeper of the purse, right?” You smile reassuringly and take an olive, rolling it around between your thumb and forefinger. It feels a bit mushy, but it isn’t as bad as the worst harvest your father once had after poor weather. “So trust me, I will not be the one calling judgement over that.”

With bated breath, Mary watches as you pop the green drupe into your mouth and chew down. 

In your entire life, you’ve eaten all kinds of olives. Fresh from the vine, straight from a festering pile at the local market, from everywhere between Ethiopia to Egypt to here in Judea. You’ve consumed green ones, black ones, even ones that didn’t seem right in colour. Sweet olives, bitter olives, sour olives in all shapes and sizes.

These, however, deserve a place in your top five least favourite olives you’ve ever eaten. You have to resist the urge to gag the second you bite into it and feel the tears spring into your eyes. Grabbing a handkerchief from your pocket, you spit into it, wrapping it up to throw out later. 

You don’t even have to say anything when you look up at Mary, who gives you an apologetic look. “We are fully aware.” she says, even though you weren’t planning on making a remark about it anyway.

Taking a few deep breaths, you nod to yourself. “Okay. This is nothing we can’t fix. I’m certain we can make this work. I’ve got the expertise we need.”

Mary smiles and nods. “I don’t doubt that, (Y/n). Now, I suggest you’d go and find her.”

You immediately stand, abandoning your previous task for the sake of a more important one. 

“Alright. Thank you, Mary. I’ll go and find her.”

Mary Magdalene smiles knowingly. “You’re welcome.”

You head further into Matthew’s former residence by entering through the doors and heading up the stairs when you find the finely decorated space to be empty. 

It never ceases to amaze you just how much this house must cost compared to what the average Judean was used to, but you decide to not think about it too much. After all, Matthew has given all of this up for the ministry, making sacrifices, too.

You try a few rooms, and in the third one you open the door of, you find Tamar sitting with her back towards you, obviously upset.

“Tamar?” 

Her shoulders tense upon hearing you call her name, no matter how gentle the tone of your voice.

“Mary told me about the olive grove.”

She shrinks in embarrassment. “Go on, then.” You frown in puzzlement, and when you don’t reply to her comment, she adds: “Laugh at me.”

“Why would I do that?” you genuinely ask.

“Because I failed. I was so certain of this and now… Now I just… This was a mistake an experienced woman like myself shouldn’t have made.”

You give a small shake of your head. “Tamar, you—”

“No, (Y/n), I’ve made a grave error in my judge–”

“–Tamar.” When you speak her name with the same familiar emphasis you’ve used on her while you were children whenever she was rambling, her gaze instantly meets yours, her lips slightly askew as she looks at you. 

“It’s okay.” you whisper. “Everything will be okay. We can work something out. We’re experts, aren’t we? And now, we can use that expertise to serve the ministry.”

She gulps and bites her bottom lip. “You think so?” She sounds so uncertain and you wish you could take all of that away from her so she’d be her confident self again in this situation.

“Of course,” you reassure her, ”I’ve got enough expertise to help out. I could take a look at the treatment the trees might need. We could find a farmer who knows the soil around here and ask him about it, too. This isn’t a bad deal, Tamar. It’s an opportunity to transform this into something lasting.”

Her lips curve upwards into a small smile, but she remains silent. That same flicker of uncharacteristic self-consciousness flickers in her eyes. You take it as a sign to keep on talking.

“I know you drive an immaculate bargain, Tamar. I don’t blame you, nor do I think you’re inept because of this singular mishap. We’ll figure it out, alright? We’ve always done so.” A blush tinges your cheeks as you form the next words. “I think you’re a remarkable person. I’ve always thought so.”

“Really?” Tamar whispers, her gaze meeting yours as a soft smile graces her lips. She seems youthful as she does so, and you feel your heart skip several beats at the way her eyes light up. 

You nod, mirroring her fond expression. “Really.”

Her usual confidence is back.

“There you are again.” you comment kindly, “That self-assuredness of yours always looks so good on you.”

Tamar gives you a shiver of a smile, a faint shyness on her features. “Honestly, I just felt embarrassed because… Well, because I want to impress you. Because I really like you, (Y/n). I always have.”

The confession is sudden. Now it’s your turn to turn abashed. Your heart hammers inside your chest at the way she’s looking at you with a mixture of hope and embarrassment. You aim to take away the latter. With her words, there is no need for you to beat around the bush anymore, either.

“Oh? You don’t need to impress me, you know. You already do so. I’ve always liked you. As in, more than a friend.”.

She squirms at the sudden admission and you swear her eyes sparkle brighter than you’ve ever seen them do before. “Me, too.” she declares, leaning closer to you. “Since we were very young.”

For a long moment, the two of you look at one another, trying to process the sudden shift in your conversation.

“So… Now what?” Tamar says with a small hint of a giggle in her voice, and you chuckle.

“I don’t know. I… We can’t exactly do things the way our culture commands us to do.”

“We’re Gentiles following a Jewish Preacher.” Tamar comments. The pair of you laugh for a brief second. “I don’t think it really matters if we follow our own culture anymore at this point.”

Your smile turns slightly solemn in remembrance. “It would have been nice, though.”

Tamar’s expression changes as well at the sudden memory of how much both of you lost. But what you had gained in the end… 

“I suggest we go to our Teacher,” you start, “And ask Him what He thinks we should do. I do have every intention of marrying you, Tamar.”

Once again, she lets out a bashful sound. “You want to marry me?” 

“Yes! Are you surprised after I just confessed how I feel about you?” You let out a light laugh.

She gives you a playful look. “I suppose I am not.”

“Good.” you whisper, “Good.”

Tamar beams at you, leaning closer to press a soft kiss against your cheek, and you happily sigh, inhaling deeply to speak. “You know,” you pipe up, “To be honest, I am really glad that you purchased that olive grove and that it turned out to be bad business.”

Almost offended, Tamar gasps. “Hey, you just said it wasn’t bad–”

“–Otherwise we wouldn’t have come together to create a plan to fix all of this, and otherwise I don’t think I’d ever have found the right opportunity to confess what I feel for you.” you cut her off, taking her hand in yours, stroking the back of it with your thumb.

She exhales and gazes at you fondly. “Maybe something good came out of it, then.”

“And more good will come of it.” you reassure her. “We can fix this. It’s good to be back in business with you.”

“It really is.” Tamar muses.

As the two of you sit in pleasant silence, the realisation starts to settle. You squeeze her hand and she squeezes back with equal force.

You silently thank the former owner of the olive grove for the poor maintenance of his trees. 

[voxofthevoid]

not to be a degenerate but I’m so curious about 6 or 62 haha

No, no, please be a degenerate. The degenerates are my people 😏

I'll go with #6 because DILF Gojou lives rent free in my brain, always, and seeing this art yesterday has made more unhinged about it.

06. but jesus, you've got better lips than judas

No-curse AU where Megumi introduces his new high school classmate and friend/crush (Yuuji) to his father (Gojou) and comes to regret it.

The sentence that started this: 15-year-old Yuuji deserves to rail a middle-aged Gojou over a kitchen counter.

This is meant to be three parts from Megumi's, Yuuji's, and Gojou's PoVs. I have a bare-bones outline (the tone more than plot) and a detailed scene-by-scene one that's growing. Here's the former:

Part 1: Megumi PoV

Megumi brings his best friend slash object of pining slash hopeful future boyfriend to meet his dad, who to his credit has so far stuck to...you know, legal-aged lovers.

Megumi can walk in on them (during said kitchen railing) because having Gojou as dad would already have traumatized him to hell and back

He hears Gojou first and isn’t even surprised, just exasperated, because he’s been hearing his dad manwhore his way through life since before puberty. And then he hears Yuuji. Can’t help sneaking a look, watching. Focus all on Yuuji.

Megumi pretending he didn’t see anything.

Part 2: Yuuji PoV

Gojou would still be an unhinged asshole, but a bit more settled. It's a modern AU so there isn't the literal untouchability, but you know the kind of people, especially those settled into their skin and their career, who project that aura anyway. That. Face showing a bit more age—laugh lines, crows feet.

Yuuji humanizing Gojou to his own damn detriment never fails to gut me like a fish. This isn't even canon where "you'll die young" is a decent excuse for seizing whatever joy you can.

Yuuji's first impression of Gojou: Gojou's neutral face being movie-star handsome. Striking, handsome, even pretty—the eyes especially (he can have glasses, as a treat). Yuuji knows he and Megumi share no blood, but the fey-like prettiness seems a shared trait anyway. And then Megumi says something and Gojou laughs. And it's not a very nice laugh but it's real. Instant transformation. The warmth that comes. And just like that he isn't pretty anymore, he's beautiful. Yuuji can't look away after that.

Part 3: Gojou PoV

It's a modern AU. Yuuji is a child. Yuuji is Gojou's son's age. The natural thing to do would be to dismiss the little puppy crush. Gojou stokes it into full animal lust.

Yuuji would meet Gojou when he's in casual wear—by which I mean, slutty collarbone t-shirt, which is a different kind of visual assault--because it's Meet My Son's Friend Day. But the next time he's there, maybe a sleepover, and there's Gojou coming back from work, kitted out in a formal suit and Yuuji's brain would break. I just need Gojou to be very amused by Yuuji practically fucking him with his eyes all through dinner and holding back the temptation to ask if Yuuji would like to eat him instead.

Thanks for asking 💙

Ask in response to the WIP Open Season

[scoonsalicious]

sigh. what did I say. WHAT DID I JUST SAY. I KNEW something was going to happen with that little interaction Steveioli BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE THAT MUCH OF A SHITSHOW WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY PUBLIC?! WITH LOTS?! OF ARTICLES?! Because look, someone sending it to Bucky is one thing, he can wallow in his insecurity but can probably still contain a level head. BUT EVERYONE SPECULATING IT? I can already imagine him spiraling. How can you not? Imagine reading so many articles about the person you love being paired with "America's Golden Hero" who seems to do no wrong, someone who you're already insecure with and you KNOW has feelings for her and then seeing all the people describing them as "perfect for each other" and that "they're meant to be" or "couple goals" etc. etc. and when public opinion about YOU is as bad as is going to get, and you're already thinking that she deserves better...the articles are basically feeding into what Bucky's been fearing the most. Like yeah, Bucky might not entirely believe that Steve and Pocket got together, but the thought of them being a better pair and Steve being better for her? I don't think he could easily shake that off. AND ON TOP OF THAT (I WANT TO SCREAM) HE HAS A LITERAL DEVIL ON HIS SHOULDER!!! JUDAS IS FOR SURE THE FIRST TO SHOW HIM THE ARTICLES. and I can already TELL she's been feeding his fears and doubts and insecurities more and more. Strike them at a vulnerable time right? And when Bucky is already in a fragile state (which I'm sure he is given that those articles had pictures), with an already fragile self-esteem to begin with, he's going to jump through that rabbit hole with no problem. (to add, the whole thing that PR person said, about praying that Pocket and Bucky dating would be bad for her image, I think Bucky already knows that)

I'm scared as to what Bucky might do honestly, because technically, they aren't really together so him sleeping with Julio is technically not cheating. (please if you can be so nice and put a hint that it won't be that bad and quell my anxious heart) BUT STILL. there's a lot of implications to that because Bucky already said he never thought of her that way, so him actually sleeping with her? It will seem that all of what he said were all LIES. AND NOW POCKET CAN REALLY TRUST HIM ANYMORE. Or maybe it won't actually end up having sex, maybe there was an ATTEMPT but the second Bucky got close to Joe, he immediately vomited (in her face preferably) and he physically couldn't do it, knowing how much it would hurt Pocket. I mean, he still loves her very much, I don't think he's truly capable of intentionally hurting her. But, I mean, I could be wrong. If any of this happened though, and while I understand what might've pushed him, I don't think there's any coming back from this for Bucky. (But I am hopefully I'm so so wrong because I have full faith in you to redeem him and I don't think you'll put him in a place of no return)

God...I really wished Pocket told Bucky about the dance as soon as it was over but for one, she doesn't owe him anything since again, they technically weren't together and nothing really happened apart from friends having a conversation and dancing innocently. and two, she couldn't have predicted this even if she tried. I mean no one could've known that someone was taking photos of them (i'll touch on that in a sec) And Nat does have a point, it'd be so rich of Bucky to question Pocket's intentions and not trust her. But goodness, my heart is breaking for her because she's already telling Bucky she's ready to try again, and that she wants to try this again with him and I know that's not going to happen any time soon because Bucky's going to ruin it :(

Now, with the articles, obviously someone there was pulling the strings and I have a feeling Steve might've been stoking that fire. You're a supersoldier with enhanced senses, SURELY you could feel that someone is taking discreet pictures? I usually don't dwell on anonymous sources because articles can just put those in even though no one ever said anything. But this time though, the fact that they specifically said to be unnamed? I'm wondering who else is doing things for Jelani. Could the anon sources be her? Because I honestly don't believe for a second that she didn't have a hand in this. Steve too. I know he's involved somehow, I'm just not quite sure how deep.

Sigh. I haven't even touched on Bucky not answering the goddamn phone. I hope he's okay and unharmed. But that would mean he's purposefully ignoring Pocket. (I sound evil but him being hurt and not being able to get to his phone is far better than him purposely ignoring her) And sigh, I said something about communication didn't I? I really wished he could at least have the decency to answer his phone and let Pocket tell her side. He owes her that at least. But idk, I can only imagine his headspace right now, and it's not at all good. He's probably hurt, angry, anxious, and then angry at himself for being hurt or doubting Pocket, (along with Juana not helping with those at all) he's a wreck, I tell you that much. And my hope that he won't do something stupid is this 🤏 big.

Honestly, I kept muttering "oh no" & "this is a nightmare" over and over while reading the parts, and while I was anxious during that, after typing this out, i just feel tired and dejected and just accepting this to blow up in my face because i know shit's about to blow and I already thinking the worst so it's either not going to be as bad as I thought, or that I'm right and I've already prepared myself.

Anyway, Chapter 18 is almost here. I can't wait for this to finally erupt to now we can spend time with the aftermath and I really excited to see what you've cooked up for this! (still hoping Bucky and Pocket will be endgame but god, Bucky has so much shit to do to make up for it). Again, you're amazing! keep going and sending you love!

My dearest Jnon, Fuck, it's late and I was just about to go to bed, but then I saw your latest missive, and I could not let it wait until the morrow!

(Spoilers beyond the cut, be warned!)

Let me alleviate your fears enough to say that the articles were not some nefarious scheme concocted by Steveoli or John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Unfortunately, it was just your basic paparazzi at a fancy gala full of NYC rich people looking for a story. Like many trash rags, they took a singular moment and built up an entire fiction all around it that took on a life of its own. Just some insidiousness that had no need to be masterminded by our diabolical duo (or, at least, our diabolical dame; jury's still out on the dude). It's, unfortunately, just some crappy concurrent event that a certain person decides to use to their advantage. A coincidence. I must say, your insight into where I'm coming from with Bucky's line of thinking is top notch. If I didn't know any better, I'd think I was writing these Jnons, myself, you seem to know my thought process so well! I'm afraid I can't give you a hint, because you already have all the clues you need to see where this is going, unfortunately. I can tell you that we'll get some insight into what Bucky's thinking about this point in time in Chapter 27. Which is a long ways away, and I'm sorry.

One thing I do want to mention regarding the "unnamed source" in the Tower: I worded it very specifically. They said "certain super soldier," no names given. So, technically, a person could have been talking about Pocket and Bucky and would have been being truthful; the trash rag is just guilty of shitty journalism practices, lol. GOD, I wish I could say more, but I can't! It would be more spoilery than I've been already! GAAAAAH! As always, your comments make my day. I love them, and I love you. I'm giving these their own hashtag now. They will henceforth be known as Jnon Reports. Because I must share them with the world. The world needs them.
