#like legit having fun even tho this was supposed to be a quick mirror of the talk in 6x12

[lover-of-mine]

Fuck it friday!

I was tagged by the lovely @cowboy-buck thank you <333

I've been having a lot of fun with the trauma fic 🫶 this week because I've finally been able to fill the spaces around the random bits of dialogue I've been writing down for the past month, so here's a little bit of it I guess oskaoskas (this was supposed to be a quick thing and it spiraled out of my control so fast it's actually kinda funny)

The issue is he's not thinking about being pulled out of a flipped van on a collapsed bridge. He's thinking about being dragged through the pavement under a firetruck.  The memories are clouded. Fuzzy around the edges and Eddie can't place them in order.  But there are memories now.   He doesn't usually try to remember what happened. Talked about the aftermath of it in excruciating detail, and sometimes about the way he felt like he was about to die when he fell, but never about the actual shooting. He considered it a small blessing that he doesn't remember everything about that day. He thought about it in the last few months, after Buck asked him, but he kept being met with empty space. There was pain keeping him standing but pulling him down, the thought of how his life was about to end when he hit the ground, and then there was a hospital room.  But now there are eyes locked into his across the pavement. There are hands pulling him towards a body and hoisting him into a shoulder and into the cabin. There are hands keeping pressure on his shoulder while he struggles to stay awake. There's a voice telling - begging - him to hang on. There's a shade of blue he could recognize anywhere surrounded by red and stained with fear. It all belongs to Buck. He knows that. A somewhat frantic and covered in blood, Eddie's blood, Buck. 

i have no idea who to tag, but i saw @ilostyou saying the brainrot was making her write again so babe I'm tagging you if you're feeling up for it!

Annnnd it’s Smackdown time, woooo.  Got some hopes for the main event tonight, let’s see how it goes.

Yep movement.  Yes.  I love it.  Beautiful.  More of this, please.

Honestly, whatever anyone’s feelings on Jinder Mahal, and there are a lot of them, all varied and viable, but the Singh Brothers are amazing.  The second best part of the gimmick they gave him, imo, only slightly behind his entrance.  They’re so over the top with their acting, it’s great, they’re great, I love them so much, I want to see them have a who can be more extra-off with The New Day.

Excuse me, I’m sorry, did they just give the Ruby and Charlotte fucking JOBBER ENTRANCES?  First actual match of the night, and I don’t get to see the full entrances?  Not a huge fan of that.  But okay.  Whatever.  No entrances, just packages, that’s fine, it’s cool.

So, I’d go ahead and guess right now that at some point tonight, given what happened on Raw and how things have been going for the last couple of months, that the Riot Squad would get mobbed by all the Female Wrestlers on Smackdown tonight, but it doesn’t feel like they have the same kind of numbers advantage that the gal’s on Raw do?  And while I think that, I’ve done the quick math, and no, the numbers are only like, one off, but...  I think Lana’s throwing me off.  Lana just doesn’t feel like a wrestler to me, so my subconscious isn’t counting her as one.  I guess they could mob them.  Wouldn’t be much point tho, I don’t think.  Don’t like this whole mirror storyline that’s happening on Raw and Smackdown when there’s no important variables.

Also, sidenote, I have always, forever, loved Natalya’s ring gear.

Oh, they’re bringing out the steps again.  That move’s really cute.  I know it was supposed to be super dangerous but it’s just kinda silly and I love it.  Good on Naomi for coming out and kicking ass- giving ass?- tho, love that girl, annnnnnd yep, alright, there we go, getting kinda mobbed, yep, called it.

Ahhhh, Baron Corbin v Ziggler.  So, fun fact that I’m sure no one cares about, but I’ve come to enjoy Baron’s wrestling entirely against my will.  He is the opposite of the problem that I had with Ryback- in that he was huge and looked like everything I’d enjoy in a big muscle hoss rassler-, but his moves were so boring that by the end of his run I legit tuned out during his matches because I just couldn’t get into them.  Corbin, on the other hand... something about him just rubbed me the wrong way from the first time I heard him talking, and I wanted, I desperately wanted to hate him.  And then I saw him do the End of Days.  And I’ve been petulantly hooked ever since.

Mmmmhm, DB, what have we got here.  Daniel Turn tonight?  Probably not tonight.  Probably just setting the seeds for tonight.  And I say “turn”, but I don’t know if it’ll really count as that, because Shane’s being pretty petty Mcmahon Heel right now.  Daniel standing up for what he thinks is right isn’t a particularly heel move, at least, not traditionally.  Then again, WWE seems to love Heels that Actually Have Good Points now, soooo...

...When did Dolph start coming out to music again?  Did I miss something?  I mean, I’m not complaining, wasn’t a fan of the record scratching then stark silence.  Fans really let me down on that one.  They should have started doing theme songs for him when the music cut out.  Golden opportunity, wasted.

AND Baron is fighting sands shirt.  Noice.  Uncommon, but nice.

When will Heel Roode come back from the war?  I miss him.  This is kind of dickish Roode, but not super heel yet.

Ah, yes, My Violent Kane Themed Team Rocket Bros coming next.  Their get ups are so goofy, but I do like the way they’re wrestling.  That smacking the shit out of Roan to get him fired up?  I wouldn’t mind seeing more of that.  Not sure if I’m looking forward to Breezango going up against the Bludgeon Bros.  I love my dumb cop boys.  I don’t want them to be decimated.  Also, it’s so obvious that the Ascension has been behind all of the fashion file shenanigans so they’d be putting themselves in super danger for no reason.

...man, i love seeing my wyatt boys doing good for themselves, but man, sometimes i watch them and i think what could be if they just let bray have his giantman stable.  and now i’m sad.  corey laughing at people getting decimated helps a little bit, i guess, but still.

Not making me less sad reminding me both of Heel Cole- oh god no please- and that time the Rock came back and said he was home, only to leave us again.

YEP MOVEMENT MAKES ME HAPPY, THOUGH, THANK YOU.

Zayn and Owens revolutionaries, you say?  They should hire Drew Gulak.  He could make them a beautiful power point to help their cause.

KO being the Yup Man is the Best Thing and I love it.

Still don’t trust Randy to not turn on Shin.  Never trust Randy.

I really want a Yep! shirt.

Oh no, come on, SOMEONE has to occupy smackdown with ma boys.

...Man, thanks Kevin, now I want some kool-aid.

Doooon’t trust a McMahon, Daniel.  Don’t do it.  It never ends in anything but tears.  Nice to see Sami and Kevin happy, though.

Oh hey, Rusev is fighting tonight!  Happy Rusev Day to Me!  AND New Day on Commentary!  Oh Smackdown, you’re spoiling me~

YAS!  GIVE ME THE WHOLE SONG!!!!!

THREEE UNHINDERED JINDERS OMG, BEAUTIFUL

I wouldn’t mind seeing Aiden dressed up like the Grinch.  Oooh, no, guys, come on, be nice to English, he’s not that bad.

...I’m actually really enjoying Benjamin and Gable together.  They play pretty well off of each other.  I really wish they got more TV time.  I like the idea of Sheldon teaching Chad how to be a proper heel/tweener.

Big E is a Gift, let we never forget.

So is Corey and Byron’s antagonistic relationship.  It’s so nice to have a Heel Face commentator duo again where it doesn’t feel like actual meanspiritedness that one party can’t actually handle.  Byron’s really grown on me.  Maybe he’s better now that he’s not up against JBL.  Maybe it’s just having to listen to Otunga for ages.  Either way, doesn’t really matter how or why, I just know that if Byron wasn’t on the announce team for Smackdown, I would actually genuinely miss him.

Hm.  So Zack’s gonna get murdered on the CoC kickoff.  That kinda makes me sad, but hopefully it will end up being a good ark for his and Mojo’s characters.

Fucking Bobby’s picture looks so happy to be there

OH NO, I DON”T WANT DANGO AND BREEZE TO GET MURDERIZED!  I’m seeing they’re going to get pretty well banged up, then the Ascension is going to come out and it’ll look like they’re there to help their “Best Friends”, but then Oh No, They’ve Actually Been The Villains All Along!  And so either BB’s win, or if Breezango wins it’ll be by DQ because Ascensions only going to come out there to twist the proverbial knife in their backs.

Really wish they didn’t add those strobe lights to Shinsuke’s entrance.  Still one of my favorite entrances otherwise.  Whatta man.  HE JUST FISTBUMPED THE VIPER NAKAMURA NO

Randal growing his hair out kind of weirds me out at this point. THEY FIST BUMPED AGAIN WHAT IS THIS? 

SHINSUKE IS SO FUCKING ADORABLE I LOVE HIM

Daniel on commentary now, Guest Night at the Commentary Desk tonight apparently.

Man I just really love Sami’s face.  Just thought I’d share that.

Yep, yep, gonna be Shenanigans at Clash of Champions during the main event.  So many shenanigans.  Perhaps even all of the shenanigans.

Nakamura’s kicks give me life.  So does KO murdering people on the ring apron.

Fucking Sami waving at Daniel.  Goddamit, Zayn, stop being so cute.

Shit man, Daniel bringing up Indie stuff, I can sense Vince Feuding from here, ehehe.

You know, one day I want to have a wrestler purposefully toss a match on the go home show because traditions state that he who wins before the PPV, shall lose at the PPV.  I know tonight wasn’t the go home show, but it just got me thinking.  I’d love to have a wrestler who’s gimmick was like, being super meta about things like that.  Or just really superstitious I guess could also work.

Anyway, Now to get my weekly fix of Drew05 Live.
