[ethicaltreatmentofcowplants]

Sulani: Evening

(Written for @akitasimblr's Mad About Dodo Challenge ❤️ This got very long. I cannot do short lines of dialogue that convey so much like some of you out there :x The last two paragraphs are the only ones that matter)

(Also I owe a lot to @dead-lights for her interpretation of Darrel. Thank you for giving him so may layers!)

GEMMA: So. Why are we here? DARREL: I know why I’m here. The question is, why are you here? GEMMA: Ah, c’mon man. Sulani. The cushiest and most exclusive resort on the whole island. Even more cushy and exclusive now that they’re filming Mad About Dodo. DARREL: Mad about what now? Mundanes still believe that they exist?

GEMMA: No, you doofus. Only the hottest reality tv show in the Simsverse. And Dodo Harper is the bachelor. DARREL: The twin of He Who Shall Not Be Named?

GEMMA: Now look around us. It’s a beautiful sunset. About to be a beautiful night. Why do you darken my day by bringing up that turd and his pro-vampire propaganda piece? DARREL: That’s usually my line. GEMMA: And it was totally when he was banging that one lady fanger too. Why do you masc type Sims have to go and lose any mote of common sense the instant you get your wands wet- DARREL: Gemma.

GEMMA: Okay, you have a little more sense than the rest of them. I’ll give you that. In fact, some days I think that you were born with a broomstick shoved so far up your arse that Emilia’s still pulling the fragments out- DARREL: Gemma.

GEMMA: So prove me otherwise by letting your absolute favouritist sister stay with you while you’re here for work? Pretty please? I’ll even cook you dinner. DARREL: I can Delicioso my own dinner. So can you. GEMMA: But then it won’t be made with love. Pleaaaase?

DARREL: Alright. Fine. But only because I know that you’ll get into worse mischief if I say no. GEMMA: A gentleman and a scholar! DARREL: Back on the premises no later than eleven o’clock. And if I’m out for the night, you’ll stay with Duane Talla and his caregivers. GEMMA: You’re the best! 

Somewhere nearby, a loading screen blips, deposits a Sim on the nearby shore (he never even got peanuts on his ride). A Wildfang emerges.

LOU: Well, hey. Had no idea I’d be working with spellcaster royalty. If I’d known, I’d have taken a longer wolf bath before boarding the loading screen. DARREL: Great. My associate is a Wildfang. GEMMA: Darrel, be cool. Don’t mind my brother. He doesn’t actually hate werewolves. DARREL: I don’t. I’m wary of them. No offence. GEMMA: He just miscast a spell one day and his face has been frozen like that ever since. So sad.

DARREL: I did not miscast a spell. GEMMA: Whatever. I however am a werewolf ally. LOU: I can tell by the lack of tense moodlets on you. Awoo! DARREN: How does that even apply when you’re not transformed?

LOU: For you, baby? I can transform. GEMMA: Don’t bother. He’s engaged and not the slightest bit interested in that throuple update coming to base game. Though he supports it in principle. DARREN: Yeah. See this finger?

LOU: Bro. Wrong finger. And that was hurtful. DARREN: Ah plum. Look, I’m just juggling a lot at the moment with the wedding and an upcoming trial- GEMMA: He’s going to be a Master Caster… DARREN: And for all I know, you’re a decent enough guy. But when I was told that I’d be working with a werewolf, I was expecting someone with more of a… reputation for polish and professionalism. Someone from the Collective, maybe.

GEMMA: Guys, it will be fine. This big secret thing that you’re not telling me, that is. Maybe you can start over by trading hair care tips? Even though Darrel only has the second best ‘do of all the spellcasters. DARREN: Ember has to be using some kind of untamed magic. I just know it. Therefore it doesn’t count. LOU: Hey, your locks are truly luscious, man. Could totally smell the keratin the second I got off the loading screen. DARREN: Oh, really? Thank you. It’s my-

GEMMA: And it could be worse. At least you’re not working with Vladdy Daddy... [mimes the creep walk] All three laugh. 

Here, however, comes someone who is not laughing. In fact, had she French kissed a lemon beforehand, you would probably describe her expression as ‘joyous’ next to the one she’s currently wielding.

ROSAMUND: Pleased to see that you have already found each other. But why am I addressing a child? My directives were clear. This is a potential business meeting, not a summer camp.

GEMMA: Child? You know, gameplay mechanics allow me to do all the things that a young adult can do. Even perform caregiving duties on an infant, only I don’t get any parenting skill boost from it. Do you ever think about that? No, you only ever think about yourselves. LOU: That’s so unfair. GEMMA: [fake sniff] I know! ROSAMUND: We can discuss the rights of the disenfranchised Thriftea generation later. Shall we sojourn to somewhere more private? LOU: [to Gemma] Hey, she’s got that kind of knack where she phrases something like it’s a request. Only it’s anything but a request- TOGETHER: I stan.

ROSAMUND: So. Is there an adult present with whom I may converse?

DARREN: That would be me. And not simply by default, though I can understand you having that impression. ROSAMUND: Yes. You come highly recommended at least. Please. Have a seat.

GEMMA: So, Wildfang. What news of this gig? What do your wolf ears perceive? LOU: A Lord of the Swings reference. I dig it. GEMMA: Something about Mad About Dodo? LOU: Oh my Watcher, I am obsessed! When that hot mean girl type was all set to Black Widow challenge Vlad- GEMMA: Not all heroes wear capes! LOU: And then that sweet shy twink finally got to shoot his shot at the WowWow hut! GEMMA: Total OTPness! LOU: Oh, but then that one dude drowned.

GEMMA: Which at first I thought was funny because I was like ‘people, chill, there’s a spell for that dot com?’ But then I remembered that everyone on that show is a mundane, probably because "Mister Vampire War Crimes Apologist" wants to be able to torture all the truly helpless Sims without any pushback or accountability or something. LOU: Plum, I hate that dick.  GEMMA: So then I felt bad for thinking that it was funny? Since they don’t know what we know. And Dodo was crying over his tombstone and shit.

LOU: Yeah, that was rough but like, don’t feel bad. Our first reaction to anything ever is all down to social conditioning, you know? You reframed the situation in your own mind with hindsight and that’s what’s important. GEMMA: Thank you. LOU: I got you. Anyways. The tea is that her daughter’s on the show and she’s not happy. GEMMA: Oh my Watcher, I knew that she looked familiar! She has to be - TOGETHER: [scooby doo villain reveal tone] - Minty’s Mom!!! GEMMA: And Minty almost died too. No wonder Lady Muck-Muck here looks like she just stepped in a three hundred year old corpse. LOU: Yeah, I would be Blood Moon Rising level Furious if it was my pup. [whispers even quieter] But as well as ‘a’ mommy, she’s also Mommy, am I right? GEMMA: Totally Mommy. Though I’m still a teenager so I don’t have those moodlets about anyone above my age group yet. LOU: Don’t worry. I’ve got enough for the both of us.

ROSAMUND: Let neither of us disrespect the other by wasting their time. What do you know of untamed magic? DARREL: About five thousand simoleons worth more than what you’re currently offering. ROSAMUND: A risky venture and you must be compensated accordingly for your labour. Understood. DARREL: You’ve obviously done your research. You know then that we Charms are an old spellcaster family and we don’t need the money. And neither are we the types to dispense cheap party tricks for hire. [glances over at Gemma] Well, those of us who are of age anyway. I want to know that you’re serious about this. ROSAMUND: Oh, I most certainly am. And I can afford to be still more serious than five thousand additional simoleons. I can be very serious indeed. DARREL: Let’s discuss particulars then, yeah?

ROSAMUND: Yes, let’s. Mister Howl and Ms. Charm, downstairs you will find a bar, a dance floor and some credit in your names. LOU: [to Gemma] Don’t worry, I got you. ROSAMUND: You will also find a bartender under strict instructions not to serve alcohol to any minors, and to blacklist anyone who provides alcohol to said minors. LOU: Curses, foiled again!

[th3-c0ll3ct3r]

1. Mate. Bro. I've gotten so many death threats on twitter abt wilbur soot, when I first initially asked about what was going on that I hate to mute his name and block some accounts, report them and make a new one.

2. When I saw he wrote himself back in, I'm not talking about Ranboo. Nor Tommyinnit. Not those two, I'm talking about dream himself. He explained once live that he "didn't like the way it was going" and since he's one of the many English majors, he practically wrote himself back into the story.

People obviously criticised him for it some people made videos on it. And then he got those videos copyright striked, because it made him look bad.

How do I know this? That dream smp experience, with wilbur being a bit too full of himself was genuinely the original reason why I stopped liking him.

You can big yourself up for writing a good story, but putting other people down is just cruel and unnecessary.

3. It's was told to us very explicitly that most members of The Syndicate at the time wrote their own lore. Like Technoblade admitted to just going with the flow, Niki said she didn't really have a plan, and Ranboo basically made a cool story with a mix of doing what he was told.

That fine. Completely fine. But if you cannot see the way Wilbur would weasel himself back into the narrative then I don't know what to say to you.

4. You pose two arguments out of the many that have been listed, let's say that I were to completely and utterly give you the whole benefit of the doubt when it came to the arguments you just presented. How many more arguments would that leave? How many of the things did he do? That's like 2 out of 20, he still doesn't have a defense.

Have you seen recently when Kendrick Lamar I made a Disstrack on Drake ripping him a new one, and all Drake had to say is that in everything single one of his points there was only one thing wrong and then he went on to create the song 'Family Matters"?

I'm in the words of someone that I seen online, " Drake has such selective hearing when it comes to criticism" he basically said I that whole song that he doesn't have another daughter. He didn't deny anything else. Not the pedophile shit, the violence, his friends, what he's doing, the people he has his kids around, nothing.

This right here is what you've just done. You had such selective hearing that you didn't take into account any of the other criticisms other than the two that you thought you could prove confidently. Like I said I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but that leaves 18 of arguments, that show he's a not very good person.

And I don't honestly care if you have faith in the man. Really don't. But, respectfully, do not come here to act like a smart arse, to defend someone who has done wrong and admitted it whether through live stream clips or "apologise" and then try to have it as a stick up my ass.

The amount of shitty death threats from BOTH sides is inexcusable, but the worst thing is from "Shubble side" she has completely condemned it. Told people not to do it. And you know what? All those shubble death threats people was ONE PERSON WITH MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS WHO EVERYONE INCLUDING SHELBY SUPPORTS HAS MADE AN EFFORT TO BLOCK AND REPORT.

Do I see Wilbur, once in his Instagram post tell his fans to not send death threats? Am I supposed to wake up for college in the morning and expect a 13yr old to tell me to get r*ped, to die all because I asked questions, because that's what I did, I asked questions?

Do you think it's acceptable because you've only seen oneside of the 2 sided shithole being extremist fans who are definitely suffering from SOMETHING?

I'd hope not.

Nevertheless, please don't come here to spread misinformation, hate or down right lies and keep things as accurate to your knowledge as possible.

POV: you're me looking at Wilbur Soot "coming back" video, as he explains that he's indeed NOT ADDRESSING ANYTHING AND IS AVOIDING IT COMPLETELY only to be announcing a tour in Australia and a new song like he thought people were gonna be excited about a man who hurt member of the public, admitted to bitting people even the told him to stop, hurt Shelby after she'd withdrawn her consent, admitted to biting Niki Nihachu LIVE and playing it off as "well tell them how horrible I am boo hoo", hitting Technoblade in the arm after his post cancer treatment surgery and laughing about it LIVE, basically screwing over the MCC video production takes because now they can't use him in update videos effectively making the whole event less popular meaning that on occasion less people from charities get money, giving a disingenuous apology, being rude to the people hosting his concerts, stomping on tommyinnit hands TWICE in a video for "ruining his day" / to make fun of him, being egotistical enough to write himself back into the narrative of Dsmp after he died because he basically explained on stream that it wasn't "heading in the direction he wanted it to" and believe it wasn't good enough and most importantly shatter the trust in his ACTUALLY fans that could afford/would go to see him

Because the only fans he has now are 10-15yr old girls who are "ride or die" for any form of man in modern day media, telling people to kill themselves and get r*pe if they initially didn't support their ideologies and who CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO FLY OUT TO AUSTRALIA TO GO SEE HIM-

[lvllns]

it’s funny bc you’d think my parents being gone for my birthday wouldn’t matter bc i’m gonna be 30, so who cares right, well it bothers me actually

[sharkface-daydreams]

character ask: Church! (alpha)

(i appreciate you specifying, this would be much different if you’d said epsilon. Also i hope this is coherent because it’s like. Very late and i am very sleepy)

Why I like them: He’s so chewy, he’s like a little chew toy for my brain. *slaps the roof of his helmet* This bad boy can fit so much hypocrisy in it! He cares too much and buries it under bitching and insults and complaining. He’s exhausted and worn the fuck out and can’t be arsed about anything and god if that isn’t a fucking mood. Worn out from shit he can’t even remember! They took so much out of him it’s a miracle he’s still conscious. I get a lot of like. Protective feelings about him I guess? Probably because system feels. anywho-

Why I don’t: I don’t not like him, in any way honestly. I doubt we’d get along irl but as a character? I love him don’t change a thing.

Favorite episode (scene if movie): I genuinely cannot pick. Season one had a lot of good ones. Maybe, if I absolutely had to pick, gun to my head, it’d be one of the ones where he’s looping through time trying to fix things, where he realises he’s a huge fucking dork.

Favorite season/movie: Season 6 was a masterpiece, but I am also extremely fucking sad about the state he was in after being relocated and isolated :(

Favorite line: I thought we'd established by now, I don't like either of you, okay? So competing for my attention is not gonna do ya any good.

Favorite outfit: Honestly I like his ‘ghost’ outfit in season 1 lol

OTP: I do love some good old fashioned Chex, and Churboose is good, Chucker… hmm. ChurchNut is pretty cute too.

Brotp: Church and Tucker bros 4 lyfe *dabs*

Head Canon: I like to think when he jumped into Meta’s head where all the other fragments were waiting they were able to have just a tiny bit of a happy reunion before the Emp went off :’) oh god. Hang on i’m gonna cry. Hang on. Just a minute. Hang on oh god

Unpopular opinion: I don’t know if I have an ‘unpopular’ opinion? It’s 1 am and way past my bedtime so the first thing that came to mind is ‘Church is a 5 foot Jewish bitch and I love him so much.’ @-@ short king~

A wish: I wish they hadn’t isolated him. I wish Church had been able to say ‘no you need to let me look after caboose because he got his head fucked up for YOUR stupid war’ and they’d sent him to Rat’s nest with his friends because jesus god that’s the worst fucking possible thing to do to someone that traumatized is rip him away from his support system, shitty people though they are. DEATH TO DIRECTOR!! DEATH TO DIRECTOR AND COUNSELOR TEN THOUSAND TIMES!!! Thank god for everybody lives AUs tho amirite

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: It already happened :’) ^

5 words to best describe them: cranky, bastard, Tired™, sarcastic, reluctant

My nickname for them: Le Nerd. Sometimes Lennie if I’m in a mood to be poking fun at him ^^

[elliotl]

Some thoughts as my brain is not in a good place right now but it is creative under stress (all about characters).

I think the main problem I see with people criticizing 'The Syndicate' is that they cannot see it anything other than anarchy. They can't be extremist, they can't be hurt, they can't be anything other than anarchist and that bothers me very much. They are people who came together for one common goal. "Techno is working on his ways he deals with things, Phil is allowed to feel bad for L'manberg and pretty it up, Ranboo is allowed to be in Snowchester and be married to Tubbo and Niki is allowed to hate Wilbur and sympathize with other characters" and "they are all anarchists" should exist and are existing in the same plane so what the hell is wrong with the people who criticize. Dude you just have some fucked up idea of being an anarchist.

Why would people think Techno will harm Michael. I get all the anxiety from Tubbo, Ranboo an Phil's part but why would he do that? Techno is very clear about his ideals and he is one of the only few people who will talk. If Techno ever finds about Michael he will probably have a talk with Ranboo and sort it out. I dont think Techno interferes in any of the other characters personal life. He is not the one to make 'other's business is my business'. He runs on mutual respect and sees Tubbo in a good light too. Even if he denies it Ranboo has a special place in Techno's life. Michael has done nothing to Techno ever so i dont get it D:

Dream deserves redemption/comfort arc. Antis and CCs if your opinion differs I dont care. (Please let my lil marshmallow have a lil marshmallow life)

You cannot say Philza is a bad father. Dude that character radiates care everywhere he goes. He reconciled with former L'manberg people. He blew up NLM but you gotta give him credit that he did/does care for people. (I am a firm believer that L'manberg getting blown up is a good thing). Phil being a neglectful father? Fuck you. How about Wilbur being high up is arse? Hmm hmm get me? He is cleaning up the L'manhole. Sometimes you just gotta consider that the child is a bit messed up you know.

If your arguments against Techno, Dream and Phil are that Tommy is a minor. Dont talk to me or my Dreblr, Techno and Phil enjoyers, sympathizers fam ever AGAIN. I am not brushing off that he is a minor, its just a shit spinless argument. I swear to god i gain 1 year of life out of spite every time I see this.

I don't want bedrock bros. NOPE. It's a no for me. I am aware and understand both sides but nope. When Doomsday happened and Tommy said, "The problem with Technoblade, Wilbur, is that he was our friend all along. And here's the thing you gotta understand, we were never his friend." (I am too lazy and distracted to write is all out.) I saw it in a clip and thought Tommy considers Techno as a friend and he is sorry for this actions. But then I saw the VOD and woah. No dude. Fuck Tommy for saying that all cuz i heard this, "For him its all politics and stuff. But you know Tubbo.... Big Q this is just been a friendship." AND ON TOP OF THAT BIG Q SAYS 'YEAH' (I know all the words are not exactly what he said but i summed it up). He says this to the residents of NLM who went out of the way to find and execute Technoblade. Tommy knew that Techno was almost executed by NLM.

Well regarding 'minor terrorism' by Technoblade. You guys attack him cuz he openly named it minor terrorism. How many times people have just griefed/ spolied stuff just for fun or leverage? Why only attack him?

I saw this argument on Youtube under Tommy's vod that 'he is fresh out of Exile and getting thrown into a war. He hasnt healed yet.' I am not found of exile and no one should go through similar stuff like that and I hated Dream did that to him but sure 'Techno was healed from his near execution'.

I am not sure how much this all made sense but these are my view points and I am happy to be corrected anytime. I would love to hear 'sensible' arguments. I'm just rambling :D

Third grade was scary for all of the two hours that he didn’t know Mirio.

After that first meeting, every memory Tamaki had of his childhood was filled with the summer sun, the melt-on-your-tongue sweetness of a shared anpan, the pinprick hurt of straining his limbs to manifest his quirk, Mirio’s megawatt smile, and Mirio’s big braying laugh.

“Are you okay, Kirishima?” Amajiki was asking when Mirio tuned back into the conversation. He picked at his takoyaki, and Mirio could tell he was nervous. Well, Amajiki was always nervous, but right now he seemed to be extra nervous. Was it because of Kirishima being here? He usually didn’t mind the kid.

Speaking of, the kid looked up from where he was picking at his own lunch and he blushed so brilliantly that his face was hard to tell from his hair. It was kind of fascinating.

“I’m fine! Just - thinking,” He said, averting his gaze. Well, it wasn’t difficult for Mirio to tell when someone was being nervous and avoidant at this point. He ate some more of his lunch contemplatively before announcing cheerily -

“Boy problems.” He had been kind of joking - well, more like projecting - since he didn’t even know if Kirishima was attracted to men, but at the sharp, stunned look that the first-year sent him he realized that maybe he had also just started to realize what that looked like now.

“Mirio, what do you mean?” Amajiki asked at the same time that Kirishima asked, ”How did you know?”

“No catch,” the doctor assures, but he hesitates a little before continuing. “However, it’s not your physical condition we have to be worried about. The victims of the quirk-”

Kirishima ravenous over omurice looks nothing like the any of the pictures in any of the articles of Red Riot's debut. Kirishima is a fifteen-year-old boy with a growing appetite, Red Riot a sturdy hero with already one apprehended criminal under his belt. And Katsuki--

Katsuki is only a boy playing at being a hero. He doesn't even have a fucking code name yet.

Or, Katsuki has a lot of thoughts about Kirishima that don't always fit together. (Takes place from after Kamino to the internship arc/ch 153.)

It starts with Kaminari.

It starts with Kaminari after their first mission together, the cops and villains long gone and the remnants of the fight nothing more than burnt fabric and deep cuts on their skin, a purpling bruise where tender flesh collided with concrete and metal and hard fists. There's a trembling in Kaminari's fingers and a desperation in his eyes, his knees giving out were it not for Kirishima's hands on his arms, holding his weight and pressing it to the dirty brick wall.

In which post-mission blowjobs become something of a habit. The feelings, an unexpected side effect.

“Aren’t you embarrassed?” Tamaki’s muffled voice filters through the blankets. He’s leaning into Mirio’s touches, and it’s really, really cute.

“Well, I mean, if it was somebody else, I’d probably be embarrassed but it’s real hard to be embarrassed with you.”

Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

“Is there anyone else you want us to call?” Ochako asks gently, and Eri chews on her lip and looks down and away. “Do you want me to call Deku?” Ochako pushes, and it’s worth it for the way Eri’s head snaps back up to her, eyes wide with hope, before she looks away again.

“I’ll send him a text!” Mina pipes up, already having her phone out and typing rapidly on it. “He’s just on the other side of the building, Eri-chan,” she waves the phone at her with a wide smile that squints her eyes shut. “All done, he should be here any min-“

The door to the room slams open, making them all jump and jerk their heads towards it. Ochako brings her fists up instinctively, heart hammering in her throat.

“What’s wrong with Eri?” Deku demands, standing in the doorway, green lightning sparking off his skin, eyes shifting around wildly as if looking for a threat, body braced in a battle stance.

Izuku is five years old the first time he's saved by heroes. He's an instant fan of the woman in pink with her cheerful smile and the man with his ice powers and fine-boned features, even if they both refuse to tell him their names.

For most of his life, Izuku has been the centre of villain attacks, but he has never been injured. Every time, he's saved by bright, unknown heroes—heroes who smile at Izuku, and ruffle his hair or ply him with hugs, and seem mesmerised by how small he is.

Heroes that the rest of the world doesn't believe exists.

Kaminari is such a good friend. He hopes Kirishima appreciates him properly. He gets to his feet and wanders out into the hall, looking for a glimpse of Bakugou or Kirishima.

“Uh, Bakugou?” Eijirou's voice was quiet, almost rough, “You're putting out a pretty strong scent.” There was a tone to his best friend's voice that he'd never heard before, and it sent a shiver through Katsuki as he fisted the duvet in his hand tighter and ground his teeth.

His gums ached.

“Its nothing, shut up.” He focused on getting his pheromones under control quickly. Fuck, he really wanted to bite something. Something that smelled like Eijirou. He swallowed another mouthful of saliva.

There’s a tiny gasp from the doorway. Tensei is fast as a whip when he turns and stares, wide-eyed, at the very small figure of his younger brother outlined by the hallway light. He’s got pyjamas on, fancy silk things, and he’s holding, of all things, a clipboard. Aizawa squints. He’s pretty sure the kid isn’t even ten yet, although he can’t be sure, because the Iida’s seem naturally gangly, and he’s never been very good with kids. How do you measure them? They don't seem to come with a scale.

It was starting to be insanely hot, Eijirou tripped so often that he was almost walking on all four at this point, his hands were all scratched from the rocks, his clothes dusty and in disarray, and to make things worse, the volcano was mocking him with an uneven slope that made him think the summit was close only to reveal another one further up.

-

Kirishima's peaceful life on his volcanic island is put to an end when the dormant Mount Bakugou comes back to life, each eruption getting closer to the village and the crops. As panic starts to spread, people remember the old god of the volcano and the ancient tradition to offer him a sacrifice.

Kirishima doesn't buy any of this, but the older villagers seem serious. So before they kill someone in the name of a god that might not even exist, he decides to climb the volcano himself, hoping to find out what causes the eruptions.

An AU what-if that explores what would happen if All Might lost his first big confrontation with All for One. When All Might is fatally injured after his battle with All For One, nine year old Midoriya Izuku forcibly receives One For All, unbeknownst to anyone...not even Izuku. It will be up to Inko and Gran Torino and as many favors as they can pull in to keep the boy safe from his new quirk until he can learn to use it, or until a suitable vessel can be found. With the Symbol of Peace out of the picture, the world just became a much more confusing place for everyone.

In a world where people cause minor miracles to happen daily, Izuku is unfortunate enough to be stuck with uncontrollable bad luck. Nevertheless, he tries to live his life as quietly as his mysterious (read: annoying) ability will allow.

But then Izuku is hired by UA Fitness, and things kind of snowball from there. The clients are strange, the staff is even stranger, and if his quirk doesn't break every bone in his body then he will be lucky.

At least the guy who threw coffee all over him is kind of cute.

Izuku Midoriya was a competitive cheerleader up until an injury to his hand made tumbling and stunting an impossibility. It's devastating to think that cheer could be out of his life for good—until a pair of enthusiastic classmates show up at Izuku's dorm room with a signup sheet for a new club: hockey cheerleading. All that's left to do is learn how exactly hockey works...and try not to think too much about the prodigious freshman right wing, who's just about the most wonderful person Izuku's ever met.

Shouto Todoroki has eaten, slept, and breathed hockey his whole life. He's got a legacy to live up to with his pro-hockey old man, and he's no stranger to the scrutiny and expectations of his coaches and teammates. It's different now that he plays for UA, though. He's got a former pro coach who sees potential in him and teammates who might actually like him as a person. Then there's the cheerleading captain, who's kind and compassionate in a way Shouto's never known—and who won't rest until Shouto stops dismissing hockey as nothing more than his old man's game.

Normally these reactions can be lessened by drinking more water and bulking up on body lotion and chapstick.

But the hormonal glands aren't the only ones to whither like raisins under the influence of suppressants - both the exocrine and endocrine systems were subject to its dehydrating effects. So as a future Pro Hero with a quirk that activates with sweat, the choice boiled down to a hard nope, fuck that. No suppressants.

Kirishima’s never really considered what Bakugou would be like when he was drunk and he’s kind of curious to find out but also a little apprehensive. This was still Lord Explosion Murder he was dealing with, after all.

Bakugou stops in the middle of the room, taking in all of the posters on the walls and eyeing suspiciously at the punching bag as if he’s never seen one before in his life. He sways a little before he frowns and squints dangerously. Kirishima tenses in preparation for some snarky remark about his inability to decorate, but all that comes out of Bakugou’s slurred mouth is, “This isn’t my fucking room.”

Wow, okay, maybe he’s a lot more drunk than Kirishima first thought.

OR - Kirishima can't imagine who would be trying to talk to him in the middle of the night on a school night, but when he opens the door and finds Bakugou Katsuki drunk, he can't just turn him away, right? What kind of a friend would he be if he did that?

"Bakugou couldn't do anything sexy if he tried!” Kaminari called out with a loud laugh that everyone in the common room joined in with.

Katsuki felt a vein in his temple throbbing as he bared his teeth and tried to count to ten in his head before he was tempted to cross the room and blast Dunce Face to hell for the insult.

They were in the common room, eating junk food and drinking light, crappy beers on their day off from hero training. But when the conversation turned to who had the most sex appeal in the class, it became clear that not one of these fucking idiots believed Katsuki was capable of being anything other than loud, angry or sulky. ‘And pulling horrible faces’ was added by Mina with another laugh that everyone echoed.

And okay, the fact that they had no faith in him made him want to shout and blast things and pull faces, but shut the fuck up. He could be goddamn sexy if he wanted to be.

Kirishima slapped a hand to his thigh and guffawed before wheezing in a breath and adding, “HA! Blasty asking someone out, I'd pay to see it! Or asking for a kiss like, ‘kiss me now, you shitty bitch’. I can't, that's too good.”

That's fucking it.

Red Riot?

“Sero,” he snapped at the Head of his Council, seated a few meters to his right in the Emperor’s box. “What the fuck is a Red Riot?”

Sero nodded his head to the pit and Bakugou followed his gaze, watching as another gladiator walked out of the gate and towards the center. “New gladiator prodigy. He’s only eighteen, but he hasn’t even come close to losing a fight since he started a couple months ago.” Then, Sero smirked. “I think you’re gonna like him.”

And yet, Katsuki had always made it look so simple.

Maybe a sane person wouldn’t put up with it. They’d probably call the whole thing unhealthy, say that Bakugou should learn to express his feelings. People have suggested to Kirishima in the past that he put his foot down and demand they talk about things. They’ve gritted their teeth as they told him Bakugou was playing games with him, looked at him with pity as if they were cluing him into something everyone knew but him, something truly awful. But of course Kirishima knew. How could he not? Katsuki wasn’t just playing games with him. They were playing games together.

They’re made to reach for victory, to grab what they want and refuse to let go.

Bakugou’s hands are not made for holding. They’re not made to cradle, or to help. His hands are calloused and rough. They are not meant to cherish, to be gentle, to be safe.

When he’s not using them to blast his opponents to dust, he keeps them sheathed in his pockets like the weapons they are. A gesture of goodwill—a handshake, from him, would be deadly. His hands are deadly.

And that’s how he likes it.

That is, until Kirishima.

Kicked out and homeless as a hero student wasn't somewhere Aizawa Shouta intended to be, and yet those were the cards he was dealt. Kids like him don't just get second chances handed to them on silver platters, but when he spends his last few hundred yen at Midoriya's cafe, it seems like that's precisely what he gets. Along the way, he gains parents who love him, an idiot he might be sort of in love with, and a future promising trouble thanks to a problem child baby brother.

But the world of heroes is much larger than it seems on the surface, and somehow his green-haired nightmare manages to find his way to the centre of it, all while Shouta tries to navigate his own love life and hero work.

Or, the time Inko's determination to adopt a teenage Aizawa not-so-accidentally lays the groundwork for his future as Eraserhead: serial child adopter, all while uncovering the darker secrets of the villain underworld.

He really does - they’re convenient, they’re safe and he’s in the room right next to his best friend’s. They have movie nights and game nights and there’s never a dull moment when he’s there, but- he misses his moms.

The Kirishimas are a very affectionate family. Kirishima’s no stranger to physical contact. He welcomes it, even; a hug when he leaves for school, a hug when he gets home from school. Before he goes to bed. It’s comforting, and it’s normal, and Kirishima… well, he misses it.

And that’s how Kirishima finds himself stood in front of Bakugo’s door at midnight on a Friday, worn down from the school week, desperate enough to go to his best friend’s room to ask him for a hug.

Bakugou was going a little crazy. He could grudgingly admit that it was at least in part his own fault; moving in with his best friend maybe hadn’t been the best idea. At first, it sounded great. The rent would be cheaper, grocery shopping and cooking for two would be way more convenient, and it would be easier for the two of them to hang out. The only thing was, Bakugou forgot to consider how the joys of moving in with his aforementioned best friend might be dampened by the fact that he was madly in love with him.

Alternatively: Kirishima Eijirou is a goddamn tease and there's no way he doesn't know what he's doing.

The world beneath his palms was sharp and painful and unforgiving.

Kirishima didn’t even try to hold back the yell that broke out from between his lips, if only for some way to release the pain that was building inside; smoke billowing out of his lungs in guttural cries that didn’t sound like him at all.

“I’m sorry,” the mage cried before him, her brow drenched in sweat while her hands were drenched in thick crimson blood, just as Kirishima’s were where he dug his nails into the stone beneath him; blunted fingers giving away to the strength of the earth, over and over, searching for a reprieve from the volcano erupting in his chest.

Pain. Agony. Torture. There was no stopping this.

Or: Kirishima is cursed to become a dragon and is found by one Bakugo Katsuki, who doesn’t realise his dragon wasn’t always a dragon and needs his curse broken.

Faced with deportation from Japan, high strung Bakugo Katsuki accepts a marriage of convenience with his partner and co-worker, Kirishima Eijirou. A suspicious immigration officer has him playing along on a trip to Kirishima's family home for his birthday, and is suddenly thrust into the middle of many, many eager friends and relatives, all delighted to know Kirishima's fiance. The longer he stays and sees Kirishima in his element, the more Bakugo unpacks his own feelings on the matter, and on Kirishima himself.

A fanfiction based on the 2009 movie The Proposal that turned into its own storyline and lovingly stuffed full of cliches.

And it also doesn't matter that the longer he spends in the program, the more he can't stop thinking about a certain freckled wannabe-friend, and the more he's noticing that a certain stoic classmate is paying him a lot more attention than he'd like.

Whatever. Irrelevant. He's here to be a hero, not make friends. Even if they would be the first ones he's made in...ever. But it's his second year, and he's going to make it count by focusing on what's important.

Katsuki’s hand catches his forearm instead of the bottle, hot and slick and steaming in the gap of the showers’ spray. A simple miscalculation, an innocent touch—but a lingering one, rough pale fingers dragging down the length of Eijirou’s arm, over his now trembling hand to pluck the bottle from his fingers.

Touches like that makes Eijirou wonder, did he know how I felt in high school? Does he know now?

Bleach Sword Beasts Arc Recap: Episode 265

Good news, I have made it to the last episode of the interminable Sword Beasts Arc! Tune into this very important episode where, for like 3 seconds, Renji was the most powerful person in Soul Society!

After a quick cold open with all the zanpakutou spirits fighting some big bull guy I cannot be arsed to care about, we cut to Kazeshini fighting the lamest Sword Beast I have ever seen. He looks like Spider-Man lost his powers and decided to take up throwing cleavers instead. Behold:

His pants have cargo pockets. Anyway, before Kazeshini can actually defeat him, he spontaneously combusts. Hisagi is like “Well done, bro, you’re getting good at this!” and it’s like... Hisagi, you know your sword does not set things on fire, right? You do know what your sword does?

Anyway, Renji and Zabimaru show up, with Saru and Hebi arguing over which one of them is fatter again (does Renji have an eating disorder??? tbh this would be in character between his youthful food insecurity and all the gaslighting at Urahara Shoten polynya stop it, he does not!!!). Anyway, Renji and Shuuhei have a very manly conversation and walk off to do manly things, and Kazeshini confides in Zabimaru about the exploding Sword Beast.

Later on that night, Kazeshini and Zabimaru go to meet up with Hozukimaru and Ruri'iro Kujaku who are drinking together and complaining about the moon. I love these zanpakutou friendships so much, this is such a nice journey for everyone. Anyway, it seems that, after the loss of their masters, Sword Beasts eventually run out of reiatsu and go poof, except that there’s a Sword Beast running around accelerating this process by sucking them dry. I am kinda charmed by the zanpakutou treating this as their business and trying to take care of it without bothering their masters, even though this is foolishness.

Who cares about the plot, let’s talk about Girls’ Night Out!!

There is a touching moment where Nanao gives Katen Kyōkotsu a skewer, which distracted me for the rest of the scene because she’s wearing a mask how is she going to eat it?? (She picks it up, contemplates it, the scene cuts away. Well played, Bleach #265)

Oh, this is what it cut away to:

Wow. I am pretty sure I am already on the record as being strongly against shinigami gettin’ it on with their own zanpakutou, but, uh, this definitely happened, RIP to me.

Anyway, it ends the way you might expect:

Their zanpakutou excuse themselves saying the want to enjoy the night air together and it’s very clear that everyone is getting sentimental because they know they have to go back in their swords soon. We get a flash cut through the more serious zanpakutou contemplating their remaining corporeal existance-- Senbonzakura meditating in the dark, like you do, Sode no Shirayuki contemplating the moon, Hyourinmaru also contemplating the moon, they were really running low on ideas here... Suzumibachi! Oh, look, Suzumibachi exists! Anyway, she shows up to let Hyourinmaru know that Sadness Time is over, it’s time for fights, so let’s go!

We cut to the bad guy, Kirikaze chasing around some Sword Beasts. You can tell they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel on Sword Beast designs, it was definitely time to end this arc, check this guy out:

All the zanpakutou spirits show up to kick Kirikaze’s ass. It’s not clear how they know him, but it’s obvious that they do, which is kinda cool to me, I like the idea that zanpakutou have some knowledge of each other, even in their non-manifested state. It actually makes 0 sense whatsoever that the combined zanpakutou spirits of all the captains and lieutenants aren’t able to take out one feral dude, but maybe the zanpakutou spirits are under a form of gentai kaijou, where they are so bonded with their shinigami that they actually can’t access 100% of their power without them, wow, that would actually make this arc make slightly more sense, it can’t possibly be true.

Anyway, I am ruining a perfectly good fight scene. It’s not actually, these people are incompetent. Senbonzakura friendly-fires Hozukimaru just like he always does. Wabisuke gloats for so long over an opening that he gets backhanded without accomplishing anything. The only useful person in this fight is actually... Ruri'iro Kujaku? Yeah, that tracks.

This only works for about 3 seconds-- Kirikaze powers up and blows everyone away and then they stand around panting even though half of them haven’t actually done anything. I guess maybe they’re also weak because they are at the limits of their manifestation and need to go back into their swords soon? I don’t know! This episode explains none of this, I am just spitballin’ here!

It’s looking pretty dire and then the lieutenants show up!! Oh, this is so precious! Renji flashsteps in just in time to haul Zabimaru away from certain death! Kira casts a kidou, something none of the zanpakutou seem capable of doing! It’s super effective! The other shinigami just... give moral support, because like I said, that kidou was literally super effective.

Renji goes full-soccer coach and yells at everyone about not depending on their friends. I guess maybe it gave too big a morale bonus to everyone, because Kirikaze busts out of his kidou.

The zanpakutou spirits are running on empty at this point, so the ones whose soul reapers bothered to show up go back into their swords. They actually do a neat little thing where, like, when Rukia calls out her attack, they have Sode no Shirayuki’s voice superimposed over hers for the “dance” but then only Rukia’s for the “Sode no Shirayuki”. They do this for everyone, and it’s a nice touch. Classy.

I hope you’re sitting down for what happens next though: all the zanpakutou whose masters’ voice actors weren’t available for this episode (which includes seven captains and two other people with bankai, not counting Renji himself) deadass go into Renji. I guess it’s because he’s the only one with bankai? Maybe it’s because he’s tall and therefore has the most room? Actually, here’s the real reason: Shuuhei, Izuru, Momo, Rukia, Nanao or even Rangiku might hesitate while trying to figure out what to do with all that power, but Renji’s one braincell knew instantly what to do: make the most bitchin’ Hikotsu Taihou of all time.

For once, it actually worked!!! Wow! Extremely satisfying!

After this, they have this weird, introspective part with some avant garde camera work that makes it look like they’re putting on a production of Rent or something. Words cannot express how much I loved, so instead of trying to describe it, I’m going to abuse the number of pictures Tumblr lets you put in a post and make you look at all of it.

That’s right, my friend. It finally is.

Dear Diary Prt. 9

November 9th, 2011 

 Dear Diary

After yesterdays events I felt like today was super mundane, but it was nice… To wrap up what happened yesterday, Dean and Harry  came to pick me up from the library, Charlotte was long gone by this pint her mum had come to pick her up an hour or two before I’d called Harry , but we’d made plans for her to come over to the flat on Friday. I’m going to cook us dinner, we’re going to do some studying then maybe watch a movie… 

Talking to Charlotte had really changed my outlook on life, I won’t pretend I’m going to be the mother Theresa right away, but I really want to change the way I look at things. If someone like Charlotte can go through so much, and come out the other side still smiling then why can’t I? 

I’m going to try at least, 

Love Y/N, 

November 11th, 2011 

Dear Diary

Dinner went… Okay,

                      Eight hours ago

“So who is this chick?” Dean quizzed me as we walked through the supermarket looking for all the ingredients we needed to make nachos. “You’ve never mentioned her before,” 

“Yes I did,” 

“No, you didn’t,” He countered. 

“Yes. I. Did,”

“No. You. Did. Not,” Dean and I stood toe to toe, his jaw clenched and a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. 

“Harry,” I called not taking my eyes off Dean, “A ruling here.” 

“She did mention her,” Harry called tiredly. He’d been shopping with Dean and I for the last twenty minutes and this was the third argument we’d gotten into… None of them meant anything but they were annoying Harry none-the-less. “Sorry mate,” 

“Fine.” Dean’s eyes thinned into slits. “You win this one Y/L/N,” He turned to Harry  and threw a soft punch into his bicep, “Thanks for having my back bro…” 

“Hey, don’t punch him,” I punched Dean in the arm, He grabbed it his mouth opening in a pain-filled hiss. 

“Ouch,” He cried. “Why’d you do that…” 

“Well….” I stuttered lamely looking for an excuse, “Don’t punch people,” 

“But you punched me,” 

“It was a lesson,” 

“Enough now children,” Harry taunted stepping between us. “Let’s just finish the shopping and we can get home,” 

“Fine, you win this one Y/N,” Dean pulled up the list, 

“That’d be the second one I’ve won then Dean,” I smirked innocently. 

“Y/N,” Harry groaned, his hand flying to his forehead. 

“Y/N, I swear to -,” 

“Dean, please, just let it go.” Harry cried his hand still against his forehead. 

“Fine.” He huffed. "I’ll go grab the salsa, you two get the meat and vegetables.” He threw the list back into the basket and walked off. Harry  and I stood watching him for a second, 

“He’s a child,” I muttered, 

“You’re both children,” Harry quipped. “Is George coming over tonight?” Harry  inquired as we began to walk again, 

“No, just Charlotte,” I lent across him to pick up a white onion, “I haven’t seen George since the other night,” 

“You two have a fight?” I looked up at Harry as he fiddled with some garlic bulbs. 

“No,” 

“You two are just normally together,” I shrugged my shoulders, 

“I dunno what you want me to say?” I looked away from Harry. 

“Did something happen between you?” 

Now Y/N, think carefully is this a good time to divulge to Harry that you kissed George? 

“Well…” I trailed off, eyes squinting as I racked my brain for the best way to tell Harry, 

“Well, what?” 

“George and I may have … kissed,” I moved away from him walked down the end to grab some carrots. “Three times,” 

“Wow.” 

“Wow?” 

“I mean congratulations,” Harry sighed running a hand through his hair, “That’s great, exactly what you wanted isn’t it?” He walked towards me, “I mean you have feelings for him,” 

“Still so obvious?” Harry’s lips broke into a breathy smile. 

“You’re getting better at hiding it,” He shrugged his shoulders, “But you still give him the look,”

“And is it still as pathetic as ever?”

“Nothing you ever do will be pathetic Y/N, when are you going to accept that?” 

“I’m an idiot,”

“Oh?” 

“I told him I didn’t want anything more,” 

“Y/N,”

“Only because he said it was ‘just a kiss’ and that ‘friends kiss all the time,’… twice!” I cried. “God I’m so stupid,” 

“He said that?” Harry  questioned, “Like he really said that?” I nodded my head, “What a dick move,”

“I get why,” I walked away from Harry over to the other side of the displays, “I’m not like the girls he chases… I’m not blonde, skinny…. You know the spiel by now,”

“Y/N, you have got to have the thickest head ever,”

“Harry !”

“I mean it, who cares if you're not blonde, or you aren’t super thin… you’re a great person,” Harry leant on the display crossing his hands, “Remember when I told you that you were nothing like those girls? That you were smart, funny and you’re beautiful without even trying?” I nodded my head, “I meant it… MacKay is an idiot for saying that shit too you, and one day it’s going to bite him in the arse.” Harry shook his head, “You want to know what happened between Oliver and me?” 

“If you want to share it,”

“Oliver made a comment about -,”

“Got the salsa,” Dean cried as he rounded the corner, “And you two have not moved.” He looked between Harry and I, “I thought you wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, and yet here you are yapping away,” He shook his head, tone dripping with false disappointment. 

“Shut up Dean,” I groaned, “C’mon, let’s go,” 

Stupid Dean, he was just about to tell me. 

“Yes! Let’s go meet Charlotte,” Dean cried sarcastically pulling me under his arm, “And cannot wait to eat more of your food Y/N,” I gasped and pushed him away, 

“Hey!” I cried, “I’m a good cook,” 

“No, you’re not. You’re horrible.” 

“Am not,” 

“Are too,” 

“Harry ?”

“He’s right Y/N, you’re not the best cook…” Harry  trailed off as Dean threw his hands up victoriously, 

“Two to One,” He held up two fingers, dropping one quickly. “I’m catching you,” 

“You two ate my soup last week!”

“Toilet,” Dean shrugged, 

“What about the stir-fry dinner I left for you and the guys last when you were watching the football?” 

“Jordan and Henry may have thrown it off the balcony,” Harry  meekly replied, 

“But…” 

“Tonight should be fine though, how can you mess up nachos?” Dean chuckled. 

                                Six hours ago

“Nachos…” Harry mumbled as he pulled up one of the burnt corn-chips. “Look great,” 

“What’s that smell?” Charlotte asked from her spot across from me, “Is something burning?” 

“Something is burnt,” Dean chuckled, “How do you like your nachos Charlotte? Crispy? Or burnt?”

“Dean,” 

“Maybe we should just order pizza?” I sighed slouching in my chair. Somehow I’d let Dean distract me as I put the dish of nachos in the over to melt the cheese and the next thing I knew the flat was filled with smoke, “If Dean didn’t distract me none of this would have happened!” 

“Not my fault I’m so dashingly distracting,” 

“Shut up Dean,” I groaned. 

“Are you though?” Charlotte teased, “I mean, Y/N told me about Harry, but you were never mentioned,” 

“Oh,” Dean turned to look at me, “Is that so?”

“Mhhm,” Charlotte hummed, her hand reaching down to pat Bronte’s head, “All about his dreamy eyes, and how cute he looks in the morning,” 

“Charlotte!” I protested my head falling into my hands, “It wasn’t like that!” 

“Oh yeah?” Harry  laughed this time, “Then what was it like?” 

“I hate you all!” 

“I dunno, it seems like you find Harry to be … what was the word she used Charlotte,” I could hear the smirk in Dean’s voice, 

“I believe it was ‘adorable with a large dash of sexy,’… am I right Y/N,” 

“Oh my god,” I groaned banging my head gently on the table, “Kill me,” 

“But, if we killed you, you wouldn’t get to look at this adorable face,” Harry  taunted from his seat beside me, 

“I’m going to murder you, Harry,” 

“But then you wouldn’t see my beautiful face again,” 

                           Five hours ago

“More wine?” I asked getting up from the couch as the intro for the big bang theory started up again, 

“None for me… mum will kill me if I walk down hammered,” Charlotte replied turning back to her conversation with Dean. 

“Harry ?” 

“Yes, please,” He passed his glass over to me as I passed him, I glanced at the books Charlotte and I had pulled out with the intent to study only to have our attention dragged to Dean and Harry’s lively conversations about the big bang theory. Looking back at Charlotte and seeing how happily she and Dean were I couldn’t break them apart and ask her to study with me. “I’ll help you later tonight,” Harry  spoke lowly as he followed me into the kitchen, 

“Thanks,” I jumped up onto the bench and began picking at the cold, burnt nachos. “They’re getting along,” 

“Like a house on fire,” He agreed pulling the bottle towards us, “I never was a fan of red wine,” 

“Until,”

“Until I realised buying a shitty bottle of wine was cheaper than vodka,” He flashed me a toothy smile. “Then I became a big fan of red wine,” 

“I always thought it made me look sophisticated, drinking it.” 

“But do you feel sophisticated,” I reached out and grabbed the bottle from him, 

“Anytime we aren’t drinking from the bottle,” 

“So not a lot then?” He grinned. 

“Not a lot,” I confirmed with a giggle of my own. 

“About what George said to you,” 

“Can’t we just forget it, Harry?” 

“No, I want you to know that he’s a nitwit,” I passed the bottle over to Harry with a roll of my eyes. “I’m being serious,” 

“Harry … let’s just forget this. From this point on, I am swearing off guys. I’m going to go to class, hang out with Charlotte and you, and Blake and Henry, and study… that’s it… This George thing has been enough to send me mental,” 

Y/N's new life rules 

No guys, just study... Especially if that guy's name starts with a G... Study, Study, Study

Learn to cook, 

Study 

No falling back to the old ways where you fawn and fall all over a certain boy with a G name.

Try not to mention to any future friends how cute you think your roommate is.

Another JoJo Mall Fanfic™ -- Hooters (Part 1)

Beware of spoilers! Specifically Part 5/Vento Aureo spoilers!

Risotto  drove  up  to  the  Hooters  side  of  the  mall  and  parked  his  car  in  the  handicapped  spot.

'It's  early  in  the  morning,  and  we're  only  gonna  take  about  30  minutes  to  do  the  interview..'

Melone  stepped  out  of  the  car  as  his  Capo  pondered  the  morality  of  the  situation.  He  fluffed  his  hair,  straightened  his  white  blouse,  made  a  few  faces  in  the  car's  window,  and  with  that  decided  he  was  ready.  He  asked  Risotto  if  he  was  also  ready  to  go,  but  the  Capo  seemed  to  be  lost  in  a  long  chain  of  possible  scenarios.  What  if  his  teammates  found  out?  Would  they  belittle  him?  Would  they  feel  guilty  because  of  it?  He  would  hate  it  to  see  the  guilt  on  their  faces.  Or  worse  yet,  what  if  the  Boss  had  found  out?  What  if  his  snitch  of  an  underling  Doppio  found  out  and  ratted  on  him?  He'd  have  his  head  on  the  Boss's  wall  for  sure,  another  example  of  what  not  to do  and  a  symbol  of  endless  shame  to  La  Squadra  di  Esecuzione.  God,  that  was  an  even  worse  thought  than  the  first  one.  

He  breathed  in, 'Fuck it,'  and  jumped  out  of  the  car  on  his  exhale,  startling  Melone.

"Jesus  fuck! Oh, sorry,  Capo."  

"It's  fine."

And  with  that,  they  strode  gallantly  across  the  parking  lot  to  their  (hopefully)  new  place  of  business.  Who  cared  if  the  Boss  wanted  their  heads  on  a  platter,  anyway?

'Remember,  be  confident.'

Risotto  misjudged  his  strength  and  ended  up  slamming  the  door  into  the  side  of  the  wall.  He  also  misjudged  the  volume  of  his  voice,  accidentally  shouting.

"HELLO!  I  AM  RISOTTO  NERO,  I  CALLED  ABOUT  THE  JOB  A  FEW  DAYS  AGO.  THANK  YOU  FOR  INVITING  ME  TODAY."

At  first,  the  two  Joestars  jumped  in  terror,  but  after  hearing  the  occasional  voicecracks  in  his  speech,  they  giggled  politely  and  invited  him  to  sit  down.  Risotto's  eyes  widened  in  embarrassment  and  he  quietly  sat  down.  Melone  followed  suit.  

"So,  Mr.  Nero  and  Mister...?"  Jonathan  quizzically  looked  at  Melone,  who  smiled.

'Just  Melone is  fine,  sir."  

"Okay,  Mr.  Melone!  Um,  shall  we  get  started  with  the  interview?"

He  looked  over  to  his  brother,  who  was  unabashedly  staring  up  at  the  giant  in  front  of  him.  Even  when  sitting,  he  still  towered  over  the  Joestars.  Even  though  he  was  thinking  the  same  as  Dio,  Jonathan  was  much  more  discreet  in  his  musings,  meaning  that  he  decided  to  ignore  the  elephant  in  the  room.

'I  didn't  think  anyone  could  get  any  bigger  than  the  Joestars.'

"SO,"  JoJo  declared  rather  loudly,  snapping  Dio  out  of  his  trance,  "Why would  you  like  to  work  for  our  mall,  gentlemen?"  

"Well,  our  Boss  decided  to  cut  some  of  our  pay  during  these  last  few  months,  and  since  we  cannot  really  afford  much  of  our  necessities  we  decided  to  get  a  second  job  to  compensate  for  our  lack  of  pay." Risotto  admitted.  Melone  nodded  in  agreement.

That  seemed  good  enough  for  Jonathan.

"Okay!  Next  question-"

"Wait."  Hissed  Dio,  "Why  do  you  want  to  work  for  US  specifically?"  His  brother  sighed.

'Can't  Dio  go  through  one  day  without  flattery?'

Melone  quickly  stepped  in,  "Because  you  two  gentlemen  sounded  quite  respectful  and  professional  over  the  phone,  and  from  my  experience,  that's  one  of  the  signs  of  a  great  boss,  and  an  extraordinary  businessman!  And  how  could  we  not  take  the  opportunity  to  work  with  such  amazing  managers?"

Risotto  smirked. 'Thank  God  he's  so  good  at  kissing  ass.'

Dio  seemed  satisfied  with  that  answer,  though  he  wasn't  letting  him  off  of  the  hook  just  yet.  Jonathan  anxiously  continued,  "Oh,  why  thank  you! Now,  shall we  move  on-"

"Tell  me,  Mr.  Melone,  is  kissing  arse  one  of  your  listed  skills?"  He  sneered.

"DIO!"

"Because  it  should  be.  You're  smart,  unlike  this  twit  here,"  he  pointed  to  his  brother. "Flattery  will  get  you  everywhere."

Melone  sheepishly  smiled  at  him,  regaining  his  composure.  At  least  the  worst  was  over.

"May  I  speak  now?"  Jonathan  looked  over  at  Dio.

"You  may."

"Right...So,  I  just  have  one  more  question  for  you  two!"

"JoJo,  don't  make  it  that  easy-"

"Quiet!  They  seem  like  wonderful  young  men,  I'm  sure  they'll  be  great!  Now,  last  question...What  are  your  schedules?  So  that  we  may  plan  accordingly!"

Dio  groaned  loudly,  his  brother  was  making  this  way  too  easy  for  them.  But  whatever,  they  needed  employees,  and  if  they  stepped  out  of  line  they  could  always  fire  them  without  remorse.  Well,  he  could.  Jonathan,  he  wasn't  so  sure  he was  capable  of  that.

"Great!  We'll  meet  you  here  on  March  thirteenth!  That's  the  grand  opening  of  the  mall,  so  we  might  need  you  here  a  bit  earlier.  Is  that  okay?"

"Yes,  that  works  perfectly.  Thank  you  so  much  for  this  opportunity,  sirs,"  said  Risotto.

"Thank  you  so  much  for  your  time!  Enjoy  the  rest  of  your  day,  sirs!"  Melone  added.

"Likewise,  Mr.  Melone!  Oh,  and  one  more  thing."  

"Yes?"

"May  I  ask  of  you  two  to  not  park  in  the  handicapped  spots?  I  know  they  may  seem  unimportant,  but  they  are  there  in  case  someone  needs  them," Jonathan  shyly  requested.

"Ah, yes,  of  course.  I'm  very  sorry,"  Risotto  apologized,  face  flushing  slightly.

"Thank you.  Alright,  have  a  good  day  now,  gentlemen!"

Jonathan  waved  as  they  walked  out  the  door.  Dio  sat  silently,  his  eyes  never  leaving  Risotto.

"Dio,  why  were  you  staring  at  Mr.  Nero?"  Jonathan  asked  once  they  were  out  of  earshot.

He  leaned  towards  the  brunette,  almost  as  if  telling  him  a  secret.

"Don't  you  think  it's  rather  uncomfortable  for  him  to  be  carrying  that  monster  around  in  his  pants  all  day?"  Dio  licked  his  lips.

".....DIO-"

Meanwhile,  in  the  parking  lot,  Risotto  sneezed.  He  could  swear  that  there  was  someone  talking  about  him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diavolo  grimaced  as  yet  another  bill  was  presented  to  him.  He  was  a  powerful  stand  user,  yes,  and  an  equally  powerful  mafioso,  yet  not  even  he  was  safe  from  the  inevitability  of  paying  bills.  It  further  depressed  him  knowing  that  his  goons  out  there  weren't  bringing  in  enough  money  as  they  used  to,  and  what  made  it  worse  was  the  prediction  that  most  of  the  population  would  soon  stop  buying  altogether,  courtesy  of  those  damned  school  seminars.

'Goddamnit..'

He  punched  a  hole  in  the  wall,  allowing  him  to  cool  off  before  thinking  of  a  Plan  B.  He  could  always  take  up  a  second  job,  but  as  what?  He  certainly  couldn't  join  a  workforce  that  required background  checks,  he  couldn't  start  a  puppet  company  because  the  officials  would  eventually  find  out  during  inspections,  so  needless  to  say,  his  options  were  slim  to  none.

"Goddamnit.."  He  growled.  Swiveling  around  in  his  chair,  he  peered  outside  the  window  out  at  the  street.  Nothing  seemed  to  be  unusual,  just  the  same  boring  street  lights  and  payphones.

'Yes,  that's  it.  Just  focus  on  something  else  for  a  bit.'

He  then  noticed  that  there  was  a  building  painted  differently  than  the  others, 'Red's  a  nice  colour.'  And  the  streetlight  to  his  right  had  a  chunk  taken  out  of  it, 'I  wonder  how  that  happened.'  And  just  below  that  missing  chunk  was  a  pale  yellow  paper  advertising  a  new  mall -- wait,  a  new  mall?  He  pressed  his  face  against  the  window  to  get  a  closer  look.

"Joestar  Bros.  Mall.  Help  wanted.  Call  927..."

He  couldn't  make  out  the  rest  of  the  paper,  the  characters  were  too  low  for  him  to  see.  There  was  no  other  choice,  he  had  to  get  out  of  the  house.  Reluctantly,  he  trudged  out  of  the  door  and  into  the  street,  hastily  snatching  the  paper  and  stuffing  it  into  his  pocket.  Once  inside  the  confines  of  his  office  again,  he  scanned  the  advertisement.

"Call  927-867-5309..."  

He  punched  the  wall  again,  there's  no  other  option  right  now!  He  HAS  to  do  this,  who  knows  when  he'll  get  another  chance?  And  besides,  he  can  always  just  get  rid  of  the  owners  if  they  start  getting  too  nosy.  But  what  if  they're  notable  people?  

"FUCK!"  He  screamed,  kicking  his  chair  across  the  room.  He  heaved  heavily,  trying  in  vain  to  calm  down.

'Don't  worry,  no  one's  gonna  know  who  you  are,  you'll  be  fine...'

That  seemed  to  work,  for  the  time  being.  After  staring  vacantly  at  the  ceiling  for  approximately  half  an  hour,  he  worked  up  the  nerve  to  dial  the  aforementioned  number.  He  hoped  he  didn't  sound  too  nervous.

"Hello,  I'd  like  a  job.."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March  thirteenth,  he  didn't  want  to  be  late!  Diavolo  pulled  his  pink  hair  through  his  hair  tie,  walking  briskly  to  the  mall,  Thank  god,  he  got  there  at  7:51  A.M., 'I  have  a  few  minutes  to  spare.'

All  of  his  anxiety  seemed  to  dissipate  once  he  stepped  into  the  air-conditioned  restaurant.  Everything  seemed  to  be  great  so far,  he  just  had  to  lay  low  for  a  bit  and  serve  some  food  to  some  people,  pose  for  a few  pictures,  and  occasionally  clean  up  the  place.  How  much  easier  could  it  get?

Melone  heard  the  telltale  ring  of  the  doorbell  and  went  to  greet  the  newcomer. 'I  hope  they're  cute.~'  He  rounded  the  corner  and  theatrically  gasped  at  the  sight.

Diavolo  turned  to  his  right, his  face  soon  contorted  in  terror.

".....Boss?"

100 Pages into A Court of Thorns and Roses

I’m gonna get sick of typing out the whole title real quick

So far Feyre has been kidnapped (stolen? Taken hostage? Idk) and she’s been moping about for a few days

Off the bat, gotta love SJM with her muscular white brooding males with long hair. Never change your style Sarah

Tamlin’s a bit of a bore isn’t he

Like I know I’m supposed to like him in this book but so far he’s just brooded and,,,nah that’s it that’s all he’s done

Lucien is my fave currently. Seems to enjoy a bit of cheeky banter. Cool gold eye and shit. We can vibe with him for now

I like Feyre’s drive and her want to care for her family and stuff. Although i can’t say she’s a fave so far because I like funny characters. But then again if I’d just been kidnapped I wouldn’t be cracking jokes either

I miss Aelin

Lucien: *has a Fox mask* Me, a hoe for Nikolai Lantsov: t-too.....clever fox............

Are Tamlin and Lucien fucking? Like I’m assuming not but I’ve read enough royal bs to know the secret implications ‘courtier’ sometimes carries

It was mentioned that Tamlin can use power like ‘invisible hands’. Back off bro. That’s Dorian’s thing. Stay in your lane Tammy Boy

Also can we discuss the fact he’s basically a furry

Can’t believe Feyre really though that fairy was actually her dad lmao like hun did u really think your piss poor excuse for a father limped all the way to the faerie lands for u really

When do her sisters show up again I’m assuming they’re gonna show up soon

Also when does Rhysand make his first visit

I wish there was more to say but not much has happened yet. Like loads happened in 5 chapters and then there’s just been. Nothing. Better pick up soon because I cannot be arsed with another Serpent and Dove

But then again I’m not naive. I know the rep this series has. I know Feyre’s secretly a monster fucker after Tamlin’s weird furry arse.

Anyway yeah see u at the 200 mark

[vivienna-vivid]

The masters of Red have no personalities so I made them up.

Feend vor Sembren

Ah yes, Nasuverse!Edgeworth

Strict AF college professor who actually cares about his students. They affectionately call him “Professor Fiend”.

W O R K A H O L I C

A total romantic who loves his wife and son. If only he made a habit of actually coming home…

Did you know this man is 52??? Did you know his son Fezgram is 24???

The only one here who knows how to be a functional member of society.

Pretty heavy smoker, so he has a raspy voice.

Surprisingly, Feenie’s a connoisseur of wine. Kayneth introduced him to a lotta high-end alchohol in their college days.

Yes, he knew Kayneth. They were good friends before Kayneth bit the dust.

I dare you to make vore jokes in front of him. I dare you. You’ll die but at least it’ll be fun.

Listens to a lot of 70s-80s bands. In case you’re wondering, he’s a big fan of Queen and Fleetwood Mac.

Pretty technologically advanced for a mage. His pragmatism towards technology was inspired by a certain gun-wielding magus killer.

Was married into the Vor Sembren family. Since he was born a poor boy, he’s always trying to prove himself.

His parents were Chinese Singaporeans, so he’s fluent in Mandarin.

Feenie’s magecraft focuses on transmutation. With select materials, he can transmute one thing into another. He mainly uses his magecraft to heal wounds and create pseudo organs and flesh.

Has at one point intimidated a person by showing them a transmuted heart and lying that it’s theirs.

His wish for the Grail is… Well, he plans to give the Grail to the Association, so he doesn’t particularly care about the Grail.

It’s to run away from mage society with his family

Rottweil Berzinsky

OH BOY LOOK AT THIS DISASTER.

Australian. Because of that, he has a noice Australian accent.

S H A R P   T E E F S

Man’s been in too much explosions

His Crowley-esque shades hides his lizard eyes.

“If I’m gonna do horrible things, at least I can make them FUN”

Think: Steve Irwin but borderline psychopath.

Is surprisingly good with kids! Rott’s the kinda guy who’d chastise a child for being mean and/or rude, but would teach them how to stab assholes. “Y’see a weird man offering candy from his van. Wha’dya do? Shank ‘im!”

Man’s a natural prankster. He’ll prank E V E R Y O N E and A N Y T H I N G.

Likes: Sunbathing. Hates: Cold weather and winter.

Thinks Gene Rum is a cooooooooooooold bitch with a stick up her arse.

Gene and Rott has some history. Both tend to be employed by the same people.

Rott may be a murderer, but he has standards! No killing children, no harming children, if employer does anything to children he will kill them.

Has killed more employers than actual hit targets.

In the manga, Rott can change into silver lizard form. He doesn’t like changing his form since the more he uses that ability, the more monstrous and mindless he becomes.

Rott is indeed a Chimera, a mage who is able to turn into an animal to some degree. He didn’t become a Chimera from his own volition, so that’s also a reason why he rarely uses his ability.

As a Chimera, he’s gained some lizard perks even in his human form. For starters, his saliva is toxic and has lizard eyes. He also can shed his skin to heal certain wounds. In Chimera form, he’s covered in nigh-indestructible scales.

Rott was an orphan who was adopted by a mage named Zagreus Berzinsky. The man wanted to create mythical beast of yore by forcefully fusing children with all kinds of beasts. Rott was one of those children.

Rott was able to escape with a few kids. Eventually, they made their way to the Clocktower. While he himself never went to school, he 100% made sure his “younger siblings” are enrolled in the Clocktower. It’s for their safety.

His wish for the Grail is for an antidote for Chimeratization. Oh! And to kill off Zagreus too!

Gene (Jean?) Rum

Gene, short for Genevieve. (Or Jean, short for Jeanette)

Straight-laced lipstick lesbian.

Likes books because, unlike people, they’re actually engaging. Nah she’s just a bit awkward and self-conscious.

Grew up reading Shakespeare, Arabian Nights, and Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

Since she’s broken into Ivan the Terrible’s library at least once, I can tell you that she’s a professional lock-picker. Wizard who took a level in Rogue.

Fluent in many languages due to her time abroad.

Favorite Genre: Russian Literature

HAS PUBLISHED HER OWN POETRY BOOK!! Though, it’s under a pseudonym and bringing it up will make her really embarrassed.

Thinks Rottweil is a bITCH-ASS MOTHERFUCKER.

Gene doesn’t care much about the morality of her employers. As long as she gets paid, she won’t stick her nose in her employer’s business.

You’d think she’d have Mystic Eyes what with her chilling side-eye.

Loves puns but you’d be hard-pressed to get her to laugh at one in public.

Finished her education in the Clocktower but chose to lead a life of a mercenary. Her family was… pretty miffed.

Never attends family meetups.

Org Rum is her little brother and his presence turns on her latent Cain instincts.

Do you have your rival family’s documents? Do you want to ruin them by exposing these documents but they’re encrypted? HIRE GENE RUM TODAY!

Gene’s magecraft focuses of aeromancy, the control of wind.

Her most famous technique is the ability to make thread-thin tornado chakrams. Anyone who touches these tordano-wheels will get sliced. If she focuses a bit harder, she can imbue her chakrams with lightning.

She makes those storm-threads with a small buckler-sized spinning wheel she bring along. It’s her mystic code and she’s very protective of it.

Cabik Pentel

The current patriarch of the Pentel Clan, a family of esoteric assassins/mercenary group.

Hardly ever emotes so it’s hard to tell what he’s thinking.

But he’s usually very honest and won’t sugar nor exaggerate his words.

The only reason he’s can understand other people (to a degree) is because his brother is such a good person.

Yeah, Cabik loves his brother very much. And as such, he loves his brother’s twin daughters. He’s somewhat of a cool uncle to them.

Doesn’t quite know how he feels about being patriarch since the clan is awful as all hell. He’s good at being an assassin, so he’ll continue the work in the meantime.

BOY ONLY KNOWS HOW TO KILL PEOPLE HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO HUMAN, BLESS HIM.

Proud father of houseplants and a cat

Q: Weren’t you and your brother called “The Gum Brothers” in college?

A: ………………………………………Ah. So you’ve chosen death.

How many daggers does this man have? A LOT

Seriously, you’d think he has a limit to how many daggers he can carry but. No. He just… fucking pops out another pair if the ones he’s using are lost.

His twin knives are called Rahu and Ketu and he loves them very much.

The Pentels specialty magecraft is body modification. Cabik uses this to make his body pliable as fuck.

This bitch can basically make his body have the consistency of a ferret’s.

Need to dodge? Fuckin’ dislocate your spine! Gutted? Move your organs upwards to not make them fall!

Deimlet Pentel

The older brother of the Pentel siblings. Supposed to be the next family patriarch but left that position for his brother.

Big teddy bear man. Big teddy bear wrestler man.

“HAHAHA!! I AM HERE!!” -Deimlet (and totally not All Might)

Divorced man of two daughters. BUT!! HE STILL LOVES HIS EX-WIFE VERY MUCH!!!

“I may want to remarry my ex-wife. Or not, haha……. Unless…;)?”

Stronk dad to stronk daughters. He taught them how to wrestle and….. he’s so proud of them ;’)

MADE OF LITERAL SUNSHINE!! IF YOU SEE THE SUN IN MIDNIGHT, YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING AT DEIM!!

Super protective of his mustache. It’s his magnum opus so do nOT MESS IT UP

Legitimately hates the Pentels, but still loves his baby bro.

Q: Weren’t you and your brother called “The Gum Brothers” in college?

A: What? I didn’t hear you there! Mind *cracks fingers* saying that again?

While he married out of love, his responsibilities as heir-apparent (and assassin) made him incredibly distant to his family. 

When he was tasked to kill his then-wife’s brother’s family, he did so with much hesitation. Because of that, his brother-in-law nearly killed him and ended up dying anyway.

His wife was… not happy, to say the least. That’s why they divorced and she took the kids.

And that’s how he left the family! Killing, as it turns out, sucks ass!!

Good ending tho: he moved to Finland and started tutoring the Edelfelt kids in wrestling.

He’s… actually a masked wrestler there. He’s been on TV a bunch of times!

Joined the HGW mainly to make sure Cabik is doing fine.

Uses his family’s magecraft to super harden his body. 

You can’t gut this man ‘cause he made hIS BODY INTO LITERAL STONE!!

Man is just Indian Alex Louis Armstrong. Thatse it! He cannot change this!

[dykexion]

hey bro give me ur xzero headcanons

this is it this is all I have to say.

(ok it's not I have. a decent amount to say on these two, most of which is just really stupid)

first off they are peak morosexual/himbo representation you cannot fight me on this I know I'm right and you agree with me

>X is chronically petty and jealous. he tries to repress it because he's a nice person but he just is and it's hilarious. X4 is a nightmare for him he sees Zero and Iris and he's like "wow I'm so happy for you guys :))))" and is almost aggressively supportive to try and hide the fact that he's Really Not Ok With This Oh God meanwhile Zero is just completely fucking oblivious like "hey maybe you and Iris could hang out and be friends :)" and X is just,,,,no thanks :)). this even extends to X8 where Layer very obviously has a crush on Zero but he does not realise (be real, does he even know Layer's name?) and definitely doesn't reciprocate but at any mention of Zero and Layer working together X is just like Oh That's Nice and IMMEDIATELY changes the subject to avoid thinking about it. they're both just so fucking stupid.

>Zero is absolutely appalling at flirting. he just can't do it. he got X to fall for him purely on accident via Grand Gestures Of Friendship and X was so endeared by that and the whole sacrificing himself to save him thing. but when Zero actually tries to flirt it's a complete disaster he's so blunt and he has no idea what to say and it's generally pretty funny to watch. Axl and Alia keep a list of the stupidest things they've heard Zero saying while trying to flirt with X. it's a long list.

>they pick up on each other's mannerisms from spending a lot of time together, most notably Zero picks up X's affinity for swearing all the fucking time. I feel like due to Wily's busted programming, Zero initially doesn't have the best vocabulary and grasp on language so he tends to imitate other people and it turns into a habit and due to his extended time spent with X and X's status as an angry bitch he picks up on a lot of swears and just starts saying them occasionally much to the amusement of everyone around him. one day he drops something in front of everyone at maverick hunter hq and just completely deadpan goes "aw fuck" and everyone loses it. X finds it very endearing

>every other date night gets crashed by Alia because she's a disaster and they just try to get her a date because she's completely hopeless on her own. they're the only people in a stable relationship she's friends with but they're terrible at advice, especially X because "just because I'm dating Zero doesn't mean I know how I did it, Alia". they're her emotional support couple. meetups with Alia usually end up with them all drunk off their arses and bitching about random shit together. idk how robots get drunk but I've decided they can because the idea of Alia's drunken rambling about Gate while X and Zero look at each other like that one Shrek reaction image is hilarious to me

>getting sad for a second here but I think after X4 (the whole thing with Iris and finding out about what he was like when he was Rabid from Sigma) Zero would have a really hard time feeling ok in any kind of relationship, let alone a romantic one. he feels really bad about everything and is worried that he'll just end up hurting the people he cares about again so he tries to push X away but X just isn't having it and makes sure he doesn't isolate himself completely. Zero has a lot of trouble with trust, both trusting other people and trusting himself to be around them that X helps him through as his best friend and it makes them closer as they bond over the shit hands they've both been dealt in life. Zero needs a lot of reassurance and is fucked up over this for a while because trauma will do that to a person but X makes sure he's always there to help whenever he can. Zero eventually begins to open up more again (though he's still decently closed off) and I think this is how he'd realise that he likes X, it just slowly creeps up on him over time until he Realises. and he's fucking terrified because he still remembers what happened last time he cared for someone like this and he desperately doesn't want a repeat of that, not with X of all people. eventually though they both work everything out for the better and tbh they're both absolute messes but they compliment each other in a way and are probably the best people to help each other through this bullshit. they r in lov and that's what matters,,, thank u

on a less serious note, Axl sees them together for the first time and is immediately like "damn gay people are real?" and when the public realise they're dating Zero saber-dash-cancels all the homophobes thank you and goodnight

#he’s no better than any other politician

#and is indeed actively worse than quite a few

#politics

#us politics I am curious as to why you think he’s actively worse than someone like Steyer, or Tulsi Gabbard, or simply in general. Why do you feel he’s actively worse than the rest? I would also love to know who you think is the best choice out of the lot? and you’re reasoning behind that?

Hey for some reason I can’t reblog the post where you asked the above about Bernie. I’m going to give a very brief rundown of thoughts. 

First, let’s clear up some rather broad, assumptions made: 

am curious as to why you think he’s actively worse than someone like Steyer, or Tulsi Gabbard, or simply in general. / Why do you feel he’s actively worse than the rest?

I never said any politician’s name. Just a general indication that he’s worse than a few. I think it’s interesting you assumed I meant those two and not that he’s worse than, let’s say, Julian Castro. 

I clearly said “no better than any other politician” which puts him on equal footing with Warren etc. so this assumption: Why do you feel he’s actively worse than the rest? is unwarranted. 

What I was saying was basically - no better than e.g. Warren and worse than quite a few e.g. Castro, Clinton (I know, come fight me leftists who drank the almost 30 years of GOP koolaid on her) etc.

A quick rundown of issues I have with Bernie include, but are not limited to: 

Inability to deal with sexual harassment in his campaign in a meaningful way (he apologized and such, but there’s not to my eyes been a significant change)

General sexism in his campaign as well as sexism displayed by followers. He’s just got a sexism issue overall.

Lack of meaningful, recent civil rights record 

Unwilling to coalition build with colleagues in government (a profoundly necessary skill if you want to get anything done as president). Basically, he’s not a team player. We need team players. Team players is how DC works. (e.g. “Ms. Clinton, pointing out that Mr. Obama had to fight tooth-and-nail even for relatively centrist solutions such as the Affordable Care Act, draws the lesson that the next president must have a strong sense of practicality and realism; big rallies cannot wish away the complex politics of Congress. Mr. Sanders, by contrast, claims that Mr. Obama had insufficient revolutionary zeal.” Sanders’ view is not helpful nor realistic.) 

Lack of passing meaningful policy/legislation in his 25 years as senator which indicates an overall inability to solve issues within the existing system as well as a manifestation of the above mentioned inability to coalition build. While many senators propose many bills and pass few (that’s kind of par for the course) Sanders’ are particularly lack lustre. Of the seven enacted of which he was primary sponsor, three were designations (S. 885, H.J.Res. 231, S. 893) and one was a national park boundary movement (H.R. 1353). 

Bernie Sanders was the primary sponsor of seven bills that were enacted:

S. 885 (113th): A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 35 Park Street in Danville, Vermont, as the “Thaddeus Stevens Post Office”.

S. 2782 (113th): A bill to amend title 36, United States Code, to improve the Federal charter for the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, and for other purposes

S. 893 (113th): Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2013H.R. 5245 (109th): To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1 Marble Street in Fair Haven, Vermont, as the “Matthew Lyon Post Office Building”.

H.J.Res. 129 (104th): Granting the consent of Congress to the Vermont-New Hampshire Interstate Public Water Supply Compact.

H.R. 1353 (102nd): Entitled the “Taconic Mountains Protection Act of 1991”.

H.J.Res. 132 (102nd): To designate March 4, 1991, as “Vermont Bicentennial Day”.

Medicare for All: it’s an incredibly complicated thing to implement and I’m personally not convinced Sanders’ plan is the right approach, nor that it would pass congress when introduced. 

Weak stance on gun control and relationship with the NRA

Tendency to shout over and shut people down, especially those asking questions he doesn’t want to answer 

His lack of attempting to control his supporters - their misogyny and racism - are indicative of the kind of person running the campaign. These things rot from top down. 

How powerfully his ego influences his actions, especially in 2016 when it took Obama hauling him into the white house before he finally stepped down and stopped running 

That whole Russia murkiness

His continued view that the primaries are rigged when they aren’t, he just lost, is actively harmful 

He has, or has benefited from, super PACs (he has some direct PAC contributions, but it’s not a large amount. Most of his benefits from PACs come in other forms than direct contributions). 

So, this is not something I particularly care about overall, because running for president is expensive (which is a Problem), and it’s a current reality to campaign financing. But he made such a big deal out of it I take vindictive pleasure in him having them/benefitting from them because I can now corner Luke Savage at a mutual friend’s annual Christmas party and tell him to shove it up his arse. 

Support of Gabbard who is a bit of a Russian plant (not to mention a terrible candidate overall) 

He is old, he is white, he is straight, he is cis, he is male - we have the most diverse range of potential nominees and if we think he’s the Answer or Saviour there’s a lot of unpacking of internalized stuff that needs to happen. 

A personal thing, but I really, really dislike his shoutiness. He reminds me of every socialist bro who has shouted down women and other marginalized people at parties I’ve been to (I know quite a few Jacobin/Socialist hacks e.g. aforementioned Luke Savage who uses the Sanders Certified approach If You Shout Enough They Can’t Get A Word In Therefore You Win to conversations and debates) and it leaves my skin crawling. 

No policy to address the needs and interests of First Nations/Native Americans including living standards, water access, education, treaty rights, any sort of reconciliation and addressing the issue of colonialism and genocide etc. (I think Castro is the only one with anything addressing Native American needs)

Breach of Clinton’s campaign voter data. Super. Shady. 

Ultimately, I’m not an idealist because idealism doesn’t make for good policy. While I dislike the term leftist because it invokes, to my mind, the blind, unthinking frothing wrath of Bernie Bros(tm), I do have leftist goals. 

However, I am practical about the approach, which will almost always be incremental. It’s like building a house: you lay foundations before you start on the walls, roof and insulation. Bernie wants an instant house to appear out of no where. That’s not how life nor government, works.

This isn’t to say we shouldn’t push to improve things and make for a better world, a more just society. But the reality is: we have a system we must work within and so we need people who can do that effectively. That said, we can and should try to improve the system on the way, as well. But burning it down and starting from scratch is a pipe dream. Best lay it to the side and fight for things that can actually improve lives today. In the here and now. 

in the end, I don’t like Bernie Sanders because he is an old, shouty white man driven by ego who is crude, mean, and isn’t a real democrat. I think we can do better. 

My current list of choices for the Democratic nominee (which is open to change. It will depend on how debates play out and further policy details put forward by candidates): 

Julian Castro (I like his platform the most; he has experience in DC from the Obama administration; knows how to be a team player; he’s young, intelligent and well spoken; has that “presidential” look that many voters like to see, which you know. Makes sense. Mostly I like his platform and everything I’ve heard and read about him has been positive. He also runs a (mostly) positive campaign! Unlike Some Old White Shouty Men. I can go on.)

Kamala Harris (She has a good platform with sound policy plans; she has grit and stamina needed to run against Trump; She runs a positive campaign - even using her funding to support other democrats currently primarying republicans/are just up for general re-election; she’s a senator so has experience and allies in DC with whom she can coalition build; she’s a team player; she will give us a good shot in Florida and N. Carolina; she has strong support from Black Americans who are the base of the democratic party; as DA she fought against prop 22 and prop 8 [yes, she’s not perfect as DA or AG but point to someone with a perfect track record. I’ll wait. I’m not here for perfection or purity politics, I’m here for someone who can win and will implement descent policy while in power], she pioneered one of the first open data initiative to expose racism in the legal system, lol she’s not a millionaire unlike Some Old White Shouty Man - which is neither here nor there for me personally, because again I’m realistic, just a refreshing thing. I can go on.) 

Elizabeth Warren (I’m rather luke-warm on her but she’s better than the other options.)

My ideal ticket, currently, is: Harris/Castro. 

Again - this is open to change. And, at the end of the day, I will vote for the democratic nominee in 2020 no matter what because we can’t have another four years of Trump.
