Weekly Recap | October 21st-27th 2024

Sorry it's a little bit late!

Can't wait for Confessions!! 🤩

Complete

you make my heart beat by extasiswings/ @extasiswings (Post-S2, Different First Meeting | 1,8K | Teen): Eddie Diaz knows two things: 1) he's a great nurse; and 2) he does not fall for patients. After spending five months with Evan Buckley...well. Maybe that second one is a little more of an open question.

give me a sign by lecornergirl/ @clusterbuck (Werewolf Eddie, Eddie Coming Out | 2K | General): “Okay, okay,” he says, holding his hands up. So Eddie doesn’t want to talk about it. Maybe it was embarrassing. Maybe he’d gotten really drunk, and he regrets it. Maybe it was with someone embarrassing, like an ex, or— Buck stops with his coffee halfway to his mouth. Maybe it was a man. Eddie’s never said anything about—he’s never suggested— But then, Buck himself never said anything until he said something. He’d barely known there was anything to say. OR: buck thinks he knows eddie's secret. he doesn't know the half of it.

love & magic (if the music is groovy) by ipretendtobesane/ @useramor (Witch Buck, Getting Together | 2K | Teen): buck accidentally casts a love spell on eddie. it doesn't quite work.

just call me sweetheart by snarkymuch/ @snarkythewoecrow (Kidnapping, Getting Together | 2K | Mature): They get knocked out and tied up, though Buck gets the worst of it. Eddie takes care of him, worries, and touches his dick, but not necessarily in that order. Oh, and Buck definitely thinks he must be dreaming because Eddie just called him sweetheart.

Well, This is Awkward by eightpackdiaz (S8E6: Confessions Spec, Getting Together | 3K | Teen): Eddie finds out about the well. Buck goes to awkward and amusing lengths to avoid talking about it.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Eddie Diaz by giselleslash/ @gigi-gigi (Eddie Coming Out, Getting Together | 3K | General): Eddie comes out, and Buck decides to be his wingman. It all goes great. And Buck’s super chill about it.

if there’s a fire to be felt (call a cowboy) by justhockey (S8E5: Masks, Getting Together | 3K | Teen): “Looking good, Scarface,” Buck says, and he’s acutely aware of how breathless he sounds. “Not so bad yourself, cowboy,” Eddie remarks, his eyes trailing up and down the length of Buck’s body yet again. For a second, they’re the only two people in the room. The only two people in the whole world. The way that Eddie is looking at him - the approval in his eyes, the smirk teasing at the corners of his mouth - it feels like. Like something. It feels like a moment, maybe. Something stolen, right beneath the noses of all of their friends and family. And then there’s the clearing of a throat, and Buck feels a shoulder bumping into his. It jolts him out of the moment, and he turns to look at the man standing next to him. His boyfriend.

What a feeling (to be right here beside you now) by scarmaddiewrites (Post-S7, Sick fic | 3K | General): Buck shows up on Eddie’s doorstep after his break up with Tommy. Eddie takes care of him, naturally.

Mister I’ll make a husband out of you by scarmaddiewrites (Post Bachelor Party, Accidental Marriage | 6K | Mature): “Eddie doesn’t remember telling Buck he’s gay. No, Eddie has kept that shit on lockdown. In an envelope, inside a side, locked inside an apocalypse bunker, inside Alcatraz.” Or Buck is keeping a secret, until he isn’t.

kerosene by mandolare/ @roguebuck (S7E6: There Goes The Groom, PWP | 6K | Explicit): He doesn’t— need more of Eddie. This is enough. This is plenty. This is more than anyone else has of him; he can deal with the marrow-deep want that’s begun to choke him every once in a while. So what if sitting next to Eddie makes his skin feel like it’s on fire. At least he’s sitting next to Eddie.

it only takes a taste (when it’s something special) by weewooforever (Post-S7, Infidelity, PWP | 7K | Explicit): Eddie shifts slightly and clears his throat again. “But can you answer my original question? What’s it like kissing a guy?” Buck shrugs, trying to sound casual. “Honestly? It’s pretty much the same as kissing a girl. Lips are lips, you know?” Eddie crosses his arms, unconvinced. “Come on, Buck. It can’t be that simple. You’re telling me there’s no difference at all?” Buck leans back, a playful smirk spreading across his face. “Well, if you don’t believe me, I could always prove it to you.”

deep inside a gold mine by marviless/ @marviless (Established Buddie, Fluff | 8K | Teen): in which eddie is in love and a bit clingy about it.

I choose you, Pikachu (or the ways two idiots finally say you’re mine) by snarkymuch/ @snarkythewoecrow (Werewolf AU, Alpha Buck/Alpha Eddie, Getting Together | 8K | Explicit): Buck gets hurt at a scene, sparking a reaction in Eddie that is usually reserved for mates, which is especially odd since they aren’t nor have ever been dating, let alone bonded as a pair. So when Eddie shows up at the loft after his shift, feral and lost to his wolf, he proceeds to literally lick Buck’s wounds, nuzzle his crotch, then test every last fiber of Buck’s willpower as he desperately tries to do the right thing, not wanting to take advantage Eddie in this state. Which, for the record, he fails at—though neither is bothered by that in the slightest.

🔥 all our bruises beg for a chance by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Canon Divergence, Amputee Buck, S4 | 10K | Teen): Buck is adjusting to life living with Eddie, Chris, and his service dog Cranberry, when his parents visit for the first time since he lost his leg. OR: A Cranberry-verse take on the events of Buck Begins. (Part 3 of Buck & Cranberry)

🔥 i could give you fifty reasons by marviless/ @marviless (Post-S7, Getting Together | 15K | Teen): buck is on a mission to help eddie recover his self-confidence. it goes well for exactly zero parties involved.

To Be Loved Anyways by Bookworm0303/ @insertlovelyperson (Future Fic, Established Buddie | 15K | Teen): “Just don’t expect me to walk you down the aisle,” Phillip laughed, looking around like he expected the rest to agree. And when no one did, glancing at one another in shock, confusion, and hurt on his behalf... it’d been the last straw: “I wouldn’t ask you to,” Buck said, as if discussing something as inconsequential as the weather, “I’d ask Bobby.” --- or Buck experiences the unconditional love of a parent for the first time in his life at a five year-old's birthday party.

🔥 white lies & a couple of dumb mistakes by justhockey (Accidental Marriage, S7 | 17K | Mature): “It could be worse,” Buck says. Eddie is pacing the length of the hotel room. Buck’s hotel room. The one that they shared last night, because they got married. Drunk married. In Vegas. By fucking Elvis. Jesus fucking Christ. If Eddie wasn’t so hungover he’d worry that the splitting in his head was a brain aneurysm. “How, Buck? How could it possibly be worse?” “We could have married strangers?” (Or, Eddie and Buck get married, move in together, and then fall in love. In that order. Kind of.)

🔥the city is a jungle and i’m a beast by putanauhere/ @putanauhere (Werewolf Eddie, S8 | 42K | Mature): or, Eddie has enough on his plate this summer – a newly empty nest, a terrible new captain, and a new mustache – without adding a new werewolf to the mix

WIP

🔥we won't look back, we won't be lost by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Post-S7, Dad Buck | 1/5 | 8K | Teen): Over six years after the 118 rescued a baby from a pipe, Buck meets that same child again on a different call. And in all that time, she never found a home. OR: Buck adopts Pipe Baby while Eddie waits for Christopher to come home.

Kiss Me Once Cause You Know I Had A Long Night by I_still_dont_understand_13 / @sherlockcrossing (Prompt collection | 34/? | 22K | Teen): 100 kiss prompts.

34. 56. pulling your lover into your lap, making them straddle your hips 

Podfic

[Podfic] if i am lost, please call my dad(s) by Avanie (S4E8: Breaking Point, Outsider POV | 10-20min | General): Christopher's Uber ride to Buck's apartment.

🔥you could call me babe for christmas ('tis the damn season) by prettyboybuckley [Podfic] by Rhea314 (Rhea)/ @rhea314 // fic by @prettyboybuckley (Post-S4, Fake Relationship, Christmas | 3-3.5h | Teen): Buck and Eddie pretend to be dating as Buck takes the Diaz boys along to Hershey. Once there, things get a little out of hand, and Buck comes to a realization...

🔥To Fly The Skies by Kympossible for Spotsandsocks / @spotsandsocks (Dragonriders of Pern AU | 6-7h | Explicit): Eddie’s grieving and hurt but he finds a new home and then he finds Buck. Slowly things start to get better for him and Christopher. A story about moving forward from trauma and grief with help from the people you love and who love you back. Or a story about how life can work out ok even when you don’t expect it to.

🔥[podfic] Safe for Work by be_brave13/ @djemsowhat // fic by alsaurus (Pre-S7, Getting Together | 20-30min | Teen): Eddie offers to be Buck's official head scratcher, shoulder massager, and general tactile needs provider. It's a really normal thing for friends to do. Surely.

🔥[Podfic] hearts will hold by theyarnmaidstale/ @theyarnmaidstale // by farfromthstars/ @doeeyeseddie (Post-S7 Cruise, Getting Together | 20-30min | General): “Hey,” Eddie says when Buck opens the door, casual, like Buck should’ve expected him. Which he did not. “Uh, h-hey,” he says. “Didn’t you say you had plans today?” “Canceled them,” Eddie says easily, pushing past Buck into his loft. “I’d rather be here anyway.” “Eddie, I–“ Buck closes the door and turns to watch Eddie rummage through his fridge, emerging with two bottles of beer. “What do you mean, you canceled them? Didn’t you have a date?”

🔥 all i ever wanted was a life in your shape [Podfic] by blackglass/ @blackestglass // by tuckergreeen/ @henwilsonmd (Post-S6E18: Pay It Forward, Pre-Buddie | 30-45min | General): “Buck,” said Eddie, trying to school his face into something less fond and amused. “That’s my couch.” Buck turned from where he’d been happily showing off the new piece of furniture he’d gotten with Natalia the day prior. “What?” “The couch,” Eddie repeated, with a quirk of his eyebrow. “You bought my exact couch.” “No,” Buck replied with a shake of his head. “No, it’s definitely different.” Or: Buck buys a new couch, and a few other things that happen after the bridge collapse.

🔥[Podfic] One More Rainy Day by Avanie // fic by TalkNerdyToMe6 (S5 Spec, Dispatcher Eddie, Getting Together | 45-60min | Mature): “911 what’s your emergency?” “Oh, uh… hey Eds.” “Buck? What’s wrong?” “Nothing, uh, nothing’s really wrong. My radio just got messed up when I jumped. I can hear Cap but can’t respond. Can you let him know everything’s all good in here? Or, all good considering?” “Jumped?”

Re-Read

wrap your arms around me, baby boy by marviless/ @marviless (Getting Together | 6K | Teen): in which buck pretends to be asleep and overhears something he shouldn't.

you'll have what's meant to be by farfromthstars/ @doeeyeseddie (Hen POV, Fluff | 8K | Teen): Buck slaps the back of his hand against Eddie’s chest. “I even carried Eddie here once.” “That was the adrenaline.” “Well, yeah,” Buck admits. “But I could do it now, too. Do you want me to prove it?” That’s the flirtatious tone that was missing earlier, and Hen immediately pays closer attention. Eddie makes a sound that Hen has never heard him make, and it takes her a second to realize that it was a giggle. A giggle! If only she could record this shit for Chim and Karen. ~ Hen spends three weeks watching Eddie make a fool of himself in front of Buck.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

The Ventriloquist 

Arnold Wesker suffered a highly traumatic childhood where he came to see expressing assertiveness as frighting and dangerous.  He suppressed all of his feelings of anger and ambition, pushing it all down so that it was out of his consciousness.  As such, Arnold grew up extremely shy, meek and mild mannered; he never spoke up for his own needs and let others walk all over him.  

Inspired from a television show from his youth, Arnold took up ventriloquism and demonstrated a remarkable skill for it.  He created his own dummy and designed it in the likeness of a prohibition-era gangster.  He named the dummy ‘Mister Scarface’ and it proved the ideal vehicle to embody all of the malicious feelings had had suppressed inside of him.   

The Scarface persona was so strong that it overwhelmed Arold’s fragile ego.  Before long it was the aggressive Scarface who was calling all the shots with the meager Arnold dutifully following orders.    

Wesker actually possessed a great acumen for crime and plotting out felony endeavors.  The confidence imbued by speaking through Scarface enabled him to pull off numerous criminal feats.  In due time he had amassed a gang who all listened to Mr. Scarface and obeyed his every command.

The Scarface dummy was destroyed following an altercation with Batman and Wesker was remanded to Arkham Asylum where they had hoped to successfully treat his fractured psyche.  Sadly these treatments did not work and Wesker would go on to create a new Scarface dummy so to continue his life of crime.  

Actor George Dzundza provided the voice for both Wesker and Scarface with the pair of villains first appearing in the 59th episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, entitled ‘Read My Lips.’

[hollowsart]

that scarface and ventriloquist post was lovely, i've been shipping them for ages and i've never seen any art of them as a couple. i love your art and i wanted you to know that you just made someone very happy today <3

Lol thank you, and you're welcome!

It's probably due to the fact most, if not all, people perceive Scarface as a real dummy that is either possessed/cursed or is literally subconsciously through a DID sort of deal being puppeteered entirely by Arnold Wesker himself as a means to deal with his past and his past traumas from a young age that caused the whole Ventriloquist thing from the start. More often than not people tend to stick closer to the actual canon of the characters, be it from the comics and/or cartoon media, but.. as for me? I like to mix and match and add in my own headcanons. Twisting the characters into something fresh and new! It's a lot of fun to get extra creative!

Meanwhile, with my Scarface, however: Scarface isn't possessed. He isn't a part of Arnold either. My Scarface is his own entity. he is just a living doll, but with minimal movement. When he isn't being held by someone-- Specifically Arnold, his voice comes out disembodied. If he IS being held (again, specifically by Arnold), then his voice sounds like it is coming out of the body instead of from thin air within the general vicinity of the body. (this leads to some really funny situations lol)

So.. He really is his entirely separate being and character as a whole. Arnold just happened to find him, take him in, become his handler. Thinking that he was just another dummy.. only instead to find that Scarface was a sentient being. Fixing him up.. I like the idea Scarface was found in somewhat disrepair and Arnold did some repairs to him without knowing that Scarface was sentient. Taking delicate care with repairs. The idea that Arnold tended to dolls for a time to help with his mental/emotional health is a good one.

Arnold and Scarface grew close together over time, Arnold taking very good care of Scarface. Helping to dress him and move him around since he can't exactly do much on his own besides move his head, jaw, and limbs one by one, focusing his energy on them to actually move. It's a very interesting case for my Scarface! It's fun to play with.

I would also like to give credit to @bunny-j3st3r who helped to develop and come up with the ideas and concept alongside me when we were discussing reworking some of the Batman rogues gallery. Arnold & Scarface is a favorite of ours :D

Arnold may be meek in nature, but he would not hesitate to fight back for Scarface's sake if anything happened to him. He grew too close and too fond of the little ventriloquist dummy, to not be close or know he's safe makes him like a ticking time bomb of exploding.

Detective Comics (vol. 1) #660: Knightfall, part 4: Crocodile Tears

Read Date: September 22, 2023 Cover Date: May 1993 ● Writer: Chuck Dixon ● Penciler: Jim Balent ● Inker: Scott Hanna ● Colorist: Adrienne Roy ● Letterer: John Costanza ● Editor: Scott Peterson ◦ Dennis O'Neil ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers (👏=didn't like it, 👏👏=it was ok, 👏👏👏=I liked it, 👏👏👏👏=I really liked it!, 👏👏👏👏👏=I loved it!)

Reactions As I Read: ● that cover art looks a lot like Kevin Eastman’s stuff… ● nice panel of Robin

● oh jeez, Robin chasing after Bane on his own… ● oh feck

● ooo did he break Croc’s arms again? ● 👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: In the sewers of Gotham City, Killer Croc waits and searches for Bane, craving vengeance for his broken limbs. Meanwhile, Robin has followed Bird back to the place where Bane and his other minions are discussing their next move. Bird explains that even though Batman has only faced two minor Arkham Asylum escapees, he is clearly so physically exhausted that he can barely function. Bane, however, decides that Batman must continue to run the gauntlet, and test the extremes of his endurance. In this way, he hopes to learn all he can about the man he came to Gotham to destroy.

Robin realizes that all of the dangers and threats he and Batman have faced recently were orchestrated by Bane as a test. He tries to contact Batman, but the Dark Knight has collapsed, exhausted at the scene of his recent apprehension of Mister Zsasz. When Bane makes his exit, Robin follows, but he loses his prey in a rail tunnel. Suddenly, Bane appears behind him, and he is captured.

Elsewhere, Socko and the Ventriloquist visit their former lawyer, Mr. Detweiler. They question him at gunpoint as to the whereabouts of Scarface.

Harvey Bullock happens across Batman in an alley, and comments that the vigilante looks ill, despite having managed to take out Zsasz. Batman mentions that he can't seem to find Robin, and Bullock assures him that the boy can handle himself, recommending that the Bat go to bed.

Robin finds himself blindfolded in the Gotham sewers. Bane demands to know everything he needs to know about Batman, but Robin's defiance and smart-talk only serve to anger his intimidating captor. Bane suggests that Batman may come to save his protege, but Robin promises that his mentor wouldn't fall into a trap on his account. As such, Bane decides that perhaps Robin would be worth more dead than alive, as part of the 'gauntlet.

Suddenly, Bane senses the presence of someone else. Still blindfolded, Robin fails to realize immediately that Bane is gone. The blindfold is removed, revealing the face of Killer Croc. Croc demands to know where Bane is, and when Bane attacks him from behind, Robin is thrown aside. The two heavies brawl on a stone arch while Robin desperately tries to free his hands. When he finally frees himself, it becomes apparent that the weight of the battling villains is going to destroy the arch. The stone gives way, and they all fall into the rushing water below. As Bane and Croc continue to fight in the water, Robin is forced into a drain pipe, hoping he can hold his breath long enough to survive the trip.

Bond Blefando (DUBLADO 4K) 007 - Cassino Royale (2006)

O prédio onde se localizava o "Cassino da Urca" foi construído no ano de 1922, abrigando inicialmente o Hotel Balneário.Transformado em "Cassino da Urca" no ano de 1933, o local passou por um período de adaptações e poucas visitas até que o empresário Joaquim Rolla ganhasse numa rodada de cartas parte de suas ações. A partir daí, o Cassino da Urca viveu dias de glória e funcionou até o ano de 1946, quando os jogos de azar foram proibidos pelo então Presidente Dutra.

Hoje são outros tempos, tempos e templos mais perigosos.Segundo dados do Ministério do Consumo da Espanha, os jogadores online,multiplicada dopamina da WEB, com menos de 25 anos passaram de 28% em 2016 para 48% em 2021, de 2021 a 2024 para 68%. E começam a jogar, em média, aos 15 anos.

A Associação Europeia para o Estudo do Jogo (EASG, na sigla em inglês) alerta que entre 0,5% e 2% da população mundial tem problemas com jogo.

No Brasil, por exemplo, estima-se que 1% tenha transtorno do jogo, e 1,3% uma síndrome parcial, totalizando 2,3% da população, de acordo com Hermano Tavares, coordenador do Programa Ambulatorial do Jogo Patológico (Pro-Amjo) do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo (USP).

Considerando a taxa de exposição, que é a pessoa que não aposta, mas convive com um apostador, e, consequentemente, sofre com todos os problemas dele, como desemprego, endividamento extremo, inadimplência, ser privado de oportunidades, isso pode chegar a 20% da população.

Scar, Scars, cicatriz, cicatrizes, no joelho, na face, Scarface, onde tem fumaça, tem fogo, onde tem jogos de azar, tem drogas, onde tem drogas, tem prostituição, onde tem prostituição, tem narcotráfico, onde tem o narcotráfico tem o Deep State, tem o Deep WEB e onde tem o Deep WEB tem a Dark WEB e aí cai a noite, caem as cortinas, caem as máscaras, a sociedade se revela macabra, marcada,corte de navalha,marcada por cicatrizes, e o mesmo sentido positivo da adversidade se tornar uma oportunidade, um limão, uma limonada, choro em fabricantes de lenços, segue em sentido contrário, na contramão o vício e a ludopatia.

Ludopatia é um transtorno reconhecido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) na sua classificação Internacional de Doenças, o qual afeta as pessoas de forma patológica, as quais ficam reféns da compulsão pelo jogo. De acordo com evidências científicas, os indivíduos diagnosticados com ludopatia são tão dependentes dos jogos quando aqueles que sofrem com dependência química.

Quem sofre da doença não consegue controlar a compulsão e parar de jogar, é crônica e é para vida inteira depois de disparado o "gatilho". O ato acaba sendo um círculo vicioso, em que a pessoa joga, se arrepende quando perde dinheiro, sofre por isso e, na tentativa de recuperar o que perdeu, volta a jogar. No momento do arrependimento e da culpa, o jogador chega a prometer que abandonará o vício, mas nem sempre consegue cumprir.

A natureza do jogo é a do escorpião, eu, escorpião me salvo, quem é viciado no meu veneno que mata e morre a cada dia famílias inteiras que se "explodam" ou se pulverizem.

A natureza da tributação dos cassinos funciona da mesma forma e natureza do escorpião, contanto que eu recolha o meu percentual, o resto que se " exploda" ou se pulverize, famílias empobreçam, fiquem na miséria!

Compreender que as doenças psiquiátricas, da psiquê humana não são invisíveis e que " detonam" mais e mais famílias ou mais que as chamadas doenças visíveis, que todas as doenças são um problema de saúde pública, de educação pública, de educação financeira- matéria que deveria ser obrigatória para todas as escolas desde o ensino fundamental, é mister, é prioritário, mas um desgoverno não possui essa visão, ele alimenta e se retroalimenta do veneno do escorpião, do Cassino Ludotopia, do "Urca,Urna e Forte Funerária na Bahia"!

(tw: kinda focused on wesker committing self harm, and since it's about the ventriloquist, it's also kinda about abuse)

I've recently started thinking of a sort of headcanon for everyone's favorite insane puppeteer. I mean, the idea does kind of go against wesker's entire gimmick of being so boring and unimpressive that the only thing interesting about him is the fact that he likes ventriloquism. But, it does look into the power imbalance between Scarface and the ventriloquist, so I'd say it balances out. Not to mention it'd help give wesker a bit more of a unique design compared to most other versions of himself, which could always be interesting. Anyways, the idea is this: the origin of scarface's scar.

I like the idea of Scarface not always having had his iconic scar, instead being a regular wooden mister puppet (maybe named after a famous gangster or something, I haven't really thought of that yet, though). Before crime, he and wesker were just part of a regular ventriloquism act, nothing evil or weird yet. But after whatever tragedy that befell wesker occured that caused his mind to split, that's when the darkness starts, but still no scar.

After some time of wesker surfing from his mental break by himself, possibly even full blown break downs, his more dominant, aggressive side eventually takes shape in the personification of his ventriloquist puppet. Soon, the angry, aggressive side of his mind starts bossing him around like Scarface does to this day, soon forcing him to start committing crimes. Eventually, wesker snaps: maybe they had to, or almost had to, kill a man, and wesker wasn't comfortable with it, maybe they pulled off a crime that wesker thought was too big and serious for someone like him to commit, or maybe they got too close to getting caught for wesker's liking. Either way, wesker makes it clear to the puppet that he doesn't like it, that he wants to stop, that he doesn't want to be a criminal, that he ISNT a criminal, just a man who wants to perform ventriloquism, the the puppet won't hear any of it. Eventually, it turns into a full blow argument, and somehow, some way, wesker ends up grabbing a knife, and slashing at the puppet, before immediately dropping the knife and breaking down over what he had just done. Not only had he attacked a man, but he attacked his BOSS.

Wesker starts apologizing, begging for forgiveness, but the puppet is LIVID. Thankfully for wesker, in the puppets words "he's too useful to him to be be killed", unfortunately he still made to grave of a mistake to go unpunished. He yells at wesker to pick the knife back up, and point it at his face. He yells for him to bring it closer, and closer, and closer still, until eventually the knife is pressed up against his cheek. Still, the puppet demands that he gets closer, and after more begging, wesker finally submits, pushing the knife into his skin. The puppets tells him to slowly cut down his face, and after minutes of tearful begging, and slow, painful cutting, the puppet finally lets him stop, thinking hes learned his lesson.

"next time you get too big for your boots, you ought to think back on this pain before you try and act out of line again." Then, after the puppet yelled at him to clean his face up before he got blood on his suit, he decided to go on known as scar face (if he hadn't already). When asked about his scar, it was the only time he was ever seemingly proud about something related to wesker. "Its the one time he ever got out of line, and I made sure to pay him pack right by making him give himself one to match. After all, if I had been the one to cut him up, sure, it'd hurt like hell, but it'd just be some other guy holdin' the knife. But if I made him do it, he'd be the one holding that knife, and it'd be as clear as day that he's the one responsible for his pain. If you make a man deal his own punishment, he's likely to not misbehave again."

Wow, that was way longer than I thought it was gonna be (and way more darker than I realized now that I had to write it all down). Just some thing I thought about giving not only a somewhat interesting origin for scarface's scar, but also giving something of an explanation as to why wesker is so submissive to scarface's command. Anyways, I'll probably post a few more ventriloquist ideas I've had in my brain soon, though probably not as long and dark as this one.
