"You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me"
The asylum:
As far as I'm concerned the original bullet club ended when Jay left Japan.

Probably gonna ruffle feathers and whatnot butttttt, I genuinely believe Bullet Club should've died when Jay left Japan. NOW, hear me out before anyone kills me lmfao. When you think about it, BC is already divided up into subgroups. Like more than it was before (imo anyway). It's not even truly Bullet Club anymore. I feel like David and the Wardogs could've thrived PERFECTLY on their own as just that. The Wardogs. I don't think he or any of the other four needed Bullet Club. And I feel the same way about House of Torture, too. I kind of even forgot they ARE in Bullet Club because I just don't see them as BC members since they're always doing their own thing. And I fully believe Kenta and everyone else that's in Bullet Club could also thrive without it. At this point, it feels like they're beating a dead horse unforunately.
#also who died and made Gedo king??#like- hes not even an OG member lmfao#bullet club#njpw#idk what else to really put this under??#Lu rants#this has literally been on my mind since David became the new “leader” and when Wardogs became its own subgroup#ALL THESE GUYS CAN THRIVE JUST FINE WITHOUT BULLET CLUB

Comfort in an Abandoned Theatre
Summary - Part 38 in the Comfort series
Pairing - Dean Winchester x Reader, Reader x Sam (platonic), Reader x Bobby (father-figure), Andre (OG Character) x Reader (best friends)
Series Masterlist | Masterlist
Meanwhile in the alley…
Dean waits as patiently as possible pretending to mess with something under the hood of Baby. The longer he waits the more impatient he gets. He just wants to bust into the club, drag his wife back to the hotel and forget the werewolves even exist. But he pushes that desire deep down and reminds himself why he fell in love with Y/N in the first place and that she can handle herself just fine. After what feels like an eternity he sees the backdoor of the nightclub open. He quietly closes the hood and pulls out his gun, checking the silver bullets are loaded. When he cautiously glances back over at the person who emerged from the door his eyes land on your lifeless-looking body in his arms. His heart instantly sinks and all he wants to do is shoot, but he knows he can’t risk hitting you or the man using you as a human shield, or hurting you in retaliation. So instead he just watches hopelessly as you’re led away in the opposite direction down the alley. He knows Jason’s waiting on that corner, so as soon as the coast is clear he jumps in Baby and follows from a safe distance with the lights off. He spins his ring around his finger, trying his best to calm himself down as he watches the man get further away with you.
Then all too quickly the sound of a gunshot sends him into a panic. The werewolf sprints off dragging you with him. His speed alone is the last bit of proof Dean needs. He can feel his blood almost boiling as he loses sight of the werewolf and you. He slams his hands on the steering wheel in frustration, shouting, “Son of a bitch!” He sees Jason run out from around the corner with his hands up, then he spins around and sees Mark with his gun in his hand by his side. Dean’s face says everything they need to know, he’s beyond angry.
Mark cautiously walks towards Dean and Jason. “He put something in her drink. She was fine and then she quickly wasn’t. It went downhill real fast in there.”
“So what you thought you’d come out here guns blazing? You could’ve shot her! Or worse you could’ve hit him and caused him to turn her! What were you thinking?” Dean shouts.
“I was thinking I’d kill the werewolf, because that’s why we’re here right? Or did you forget that this is a hunt, Winchester?” Jason spits back. Then under his breath he adds, “This is exactly why I didn’t want to work with a Winchester.”
Dean nods and then storms back to Baby. “Then you’d better just stay out of my way!” He slams the door shut and speeds off down the alley in the last direction he sees the werewolf go. He drives up and down streets looking for anywhere that looks like it could house a pack of werewolves. Among all the highrise buildings and shops, nothing looks even remotely like an average werewolf den.
After an hour of driving around and no leads, he returns to the hotel. He pulls out his laptop and tries to track your phone. It pings at a theatre building about a block back from the beach. When he searches the building online he finds out it’s been shut down and abandoned for years. He slams the laptop shut and sprints back down the stairs to the car speeding as fast as he can to the theatre. He pulls a park out the front and sends Sam a quick text with his location and the word ‘werewolf’. He puts his phone on silent so as not to give himself away, grips his gun and gets out of the car as silently as possible. It’s been years since he’s taken on a hunt like this alone; he can feel his heat racing as he approaches the decrepit building. He silently peers between the boards on one of the front windows searching for any signs of movement or light; proof that you’re actually in there, alive and still human. He can’t see anything, it’s pitch black inside, but as he turns to make his way to the next window he hears a small howling sound. Almost like a puppy that’s been left home alone all day, it’s sad and a little weak.
Sons of bitches are breeding! He thinks to himself as he peers in another boarded-up window. Still no luck. It’s just too dark. Damn werewolves and their ability to see in the dark!
He looks up at the dark sky and crescent moon high above him, before glancing back down at his watch: 1:25. With hours till sunrise and the desperation to find and keep his precious wife safe pulling at his heart, he makes the decision to go in blind. He can’t wait the four to five hours required to get light, with the hope that they’re nocturnal. Anything could happen in that time, and each worst-case scenario is filtering through his mind as the seconds pass.
With his gun full of silver bullets, and drawn with the safety off he tries the door handle carefully, trying to keep quiet. To his surprise, it isn’t locked. He steps inside quietly, shutting the door behind him with care. Inside he notices the floor is carpeted, helping to cushion the fall of his heavy boots and hide his footsteps. Barely being able to see a foot in front of him, he tunes into his other senses. Listening for more howls, movement, and voices. Smelling for the rank, metallic scent of blood, rotting meat, and the distinct and comforting smell of your floral perfume hoping it hasn’t been covered by the scent of mutated dog. As he ventures further down the hall his eyes start to adjust to the darkness making it ever so slightly easier to see and keep him from bumping into anything and making noise. He sees a wide-open doorway to his left, almost like the entrance to a movie theatre or concert hall. He notes the protection a room like that would give a pack, especially one with children, but also the danger of the limited exits for himself as he stalks through the doorway. Keeping his aim steady in front of him, he cautiously makes his way through the dark corridor, noting the lines of stepped-up seating above him on either side.
Suddenly, an aching pain shoots through his body as someone lands on top of him, causing him to land on his back on the carpet, which isn’t as soft as he hoped. He tries to fight off the man, approximately the same size as himself but his gun is knocked out of his grip. He fumbles around trying to reach for the silver knife in the waistband of his jeans but his hands are pinned above his head. As he looks up at the attacker’s face he notices the sharp fangs on display. He doesn’t need to look at his hands to see the claws, he can feel them cutting into his wrists. He gathers his strength and kicks his legs out, distracting the werewolf enough so that he can rip his hand free. With his free hand, he immediately rips out his silver knife and stabs the werewolf in the side, overpowering him so he can get on top. He slides his knife out of his side and stabs him in the heart, watching as his body goes limp. Taking a moment to catch his breath, he stares at the wolf’s features; they’re familiar. He pulls his knife out of his chest, wipes it clean using the wolf’s shirt and then stands over him.
“That’s for taking my wife, you son of a bitch!” He says.
He turns to inspect the room further, searching for you in the darkness when he hears the same sad howling from earlier again. He takes a few steps forward, collects his gun inspects it carefully and then calls out gruffly, “I hear you! Come on out!” When he doesn’t hear or see any movement he rounds the corridor and ascends the stairs checking each row carefully. As he approaches the back of the room the howling is replaced with a sound that is halfway between a low growl and sob, but it’s still quiet. He sees a subtle movement in his peripheral vision and focuses on the back row. In the dark, he can make out a small shadowy figure. It’s shaking. He aims his gun towards the figure as he gets closer. From the end of the row, he can finally tell the figure is a small child, he assumes from their tiny stature they can’t be more than five years old. He replaces the safety on his gun and stows it in the pocket of his jacket as he slips into a chair at the end of the row slowly.
“Hi. My name is Dean, I’m here to help you, what’s your name?” Dean asks softly.
The child just shakes their head and looks at the floor silently.
Dean tries again, “Was that other man trying to hurt you? Did he take you away from your parents?”
The child shakes their head again. Then eventually groaks out in a tiny voice, “Is he dead?”
Dean slowly nods his head, watching the child intently as they resume their howling and sobbing.
Shit! The gears start turning in his head as he watches and listens to the child.
“Was he your dad?” Dean asks.
The child nods sadly. Dean watches them as he weighs up his options. He knows this pup is a monster, but they’re still a child. He puts his hand on the handle of his gun but can’t bring himself to pull it out. Werewolf or not, it’s a child. If they grow up and start killing people he can always come back and finish the job, or some other hunter can. He stands up.
“Have you seen a woman in here? She came here with your dad earlier tonight.”
The child nods and points towards the other end of the row. As Dean follows the child’s direction he can’t believe he didn’t notice you there before. He takes in your limp body sprawled out over a few seats. You look so uncomfortable but also unconscious so he guesses you can’t feel or hear anything. Cautiously, he gets up and squeezes past the child to get to you. He pulls you into his lap so you can be more comfortable, even if you have no recollection of it. He just knows if you stay all contorted like that you’ll wake up with all sorts of aches and pains. He lets your head rest on his shoulder as he holds you close to his chest. He breathes a small sigh of relief as he fills your warm, steady breath fan out on his neck and feels your steady pulse.
He watches cautiously as the child crawls over the chairs to get a little closer. Up close Dean can tell from her feminine features that she’s a little girl. Her face is soft and cherubic, with delicate, rosy cheeks, a petite button nose, wide, innocent, yet red-rimmed and tear-filled eyes, and a natural, gentle pout that gives her an angelic appearance. Her skin is soft and smooth, with a subtle hint of childhood freckles across her nose and cheeks. If not for her being a werewolf he would say she’s beautiful. He almost feels bad for stabbing her father, but as he holds your limp body in his arms he tells himself he did the right thing. Not having any of the right words to comfort the child, but also not wanting to leave them alone he stays silent. He just sits there and holds you waiting for whatever that monster put in your drink to wear off.

can I preface this with the fact that I am currently in the thralls of a manic episode and now high on top of that. ok good let's continue
the way heel Cody can make a return just became so clear to me it felt like a vision. they remake The Shield. Seth makes The Shield 2 with Cody with the strict intentions of them doing good for the company. babyfaces. Seth claims leadership of the stable bc obviously he was an OG and Cody agrees with this. or at least he seems to..
everyone who knows Cody's past as a Bullet Club member knows his need for control. and now he's literally world champion. and Seth Freakin Rollins is who's everyone's listening to instead????? slowly the cracks begin to show and it becomes like another Cody vs Kenny Omega situation.
the actual full snap/betrayal comes when Seth reveals theyre bringing in another member and it's babyface Roman Reigns. and that makes Cody so mad he betrays Seth right there and finally FINALLY. HE TURNS HEEL AGAIN.
THE SHIELD 2

Gif is not mine. Credit to owner
It had been a little over six months since the Forbidden Door pay per view, the last time you had seen your boyfriend, Riley better known as El Phantasmo, in person. You were thrilled when the announcement was made that All Elite Wrestling was going to be collaborating with New Japan Pro Wrestling. You didn’t know who all would be participating from NJPW at the time of the announcement, but you hoped that El Phantasmo would be selected for the pay per view. You missed him like crazy, not being able to see each other everyday anymore was killing you.
Before you arrived in AEW, you were putting in the work in Japan with Stardom and making appearances as well as exhibition matches and even title matches in NJPW. Your first time there you had run into a variety of the New Japan guys from Hiroshi Tanahashi to Kota Ibushi, and some of the factions from Los Ingobernables de Japón to Chaos. You were feeling pretty good about working a New Japan show until Bullet Club circled you. You knew about Bullet Club, you had actually met the OGs leaving the dojo all those years ago, and the feeling of danger and the don’t-mess-with-me attitude stuck with you.
You remember looking around you at all the faces, most were familiar except for a few, and one of those few caught your eye. He didn’t give you the exact same vibes as the others did, it was something different but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it. You watched as Jay White approached you, only zoning out after the first couple sentences left his mouth because the man, you later learned was called El Phantasmo, had your attention. You studied his face and body language, he wasn’t too thrilled Jay was flirting with you or standing so close to you. When he noticed you were looking at him he gave you a smirk and wink before anyone could notice. That’s when you felt your heart flutter. After BC finally left you alone, you couldn’t stop thinking of El Phantasmo.
Each time you were on a NJPW show you always ended up running into Bullet Club. You and Riley would exchange glances in secret, not knowing how the rest of the club would feel, mostly Jay since he would make an effort to flirt with you when your paths crossed. Honestly, you kind of felt bad that he didn’t get the hint you weren’t interested, it just caused you to come out and say it one day.
Once you had told Jay you were interested in someone else, you saw Riley’s face light up, not only at your words but at the wink you shot him. He was quick to recover before Jay could catch his reaction. Your confession left Jay baffled. Who turns down Switchblade Jay White?
You and Riley had gotten close and had been out on several dates as time went on, eventually making it official. You’ll never forget the look on Jay’s face when he saw you and Riley walk in hand in hand, the man was speechless for once. Riley announced to the club that you two had been seeing each other for the past month and that you agreed to be his girlfriend. The club was happy for Riley, and after congratulations were over, everyone looked at Jay who had an unreadable expression but finally smirked saying, “If you ever break up, you know where to find me.”
Fast forward to the day AEW reached out with a letter expressing their interest in you. You were shocked because you still had another year left on your contract with Stardom and NJPW. Over the years, you had become an asset to Bullet Club, always being ringside for Bullet Club’s Cutest Tag Team, and ensuring they always win. You ended up becoming a member of BC not long after you started dating Riley. Jay was quick to notice not only what an outstanding wrestler you were but how valuable you would be for the club. Their hidden weapon, a pretty poison if you will.
You showed Riley the letter the moment it came. Tony Kahn had laid it all out for you, it was a good deal, a great one actually. Tony had written about how some fellow wrestlers recommended you when he mentioned he wanted to add one more woman to the division, and upon reviewing your matches, promos, and interviews, he agreed with those people — you were without a shadow of a doubt all elite. Thankfully, you didn’t have to give an answer right away and could think about what you wanted to do — accept or reject the offer. This gave you plenty of time to talk it over with Riley. You respected and valued his opinion, but not only that, this was a big decision that affected the both of you and your relationship.
The conversation took place over the span of a week. The discussion consisted of arguments, more than you cared to count. Near the end of the week, you and Riley finally decided to sit down and write it all out, the pros and cons, the concerns and worries. Once the lists were made and concerns were voiced and with the help of your boyfriend you finally had your decision — you were going to accept the offer and join AEW.
Riley knew this would be a good move for you and you would benefit from venturing into the states. He just hated to see you leave, wanting to be selfish and keep you in Japan with him, the place where you two met, where you two live together, and where you two work together. He knew his thoughts and feelings on the matter impacted your decision and the arguments prior showed that when you told him, “Maybe you’re right. Maybe I shouldn’t go. Japan has become my home, my home with you, and maybe leaving for some might-not-be-fulfilled promises is a waste of time.”
Hearing those words leave your lips was his wake up call, you sounded excited at first when the offer was made, but after the arguments with him, he heard how you sounded defeated, especially when he saw your face fall when he said, “AEW probably isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I mean look at who works there.” Needless to say, he felt like shit seeing his words have that effect on you.
Once the decision was made, you were going to tell Bullet Club about the offer, and how you thought about it, and that you and Riley talked it over, finally reaching the agreement to accept. You were nervous about telling the club, you didn’t want them to to be mad at you, hate you, or kick you out because you were leaving. Riley knew exactly how to tell if you’re nervous and anxious about things. He watched you constantly wring your hands, he saw you biting your lip, how you just couldn’t sit still and your leg bouncing rapidly. Riley hated seeing you like that so he softly placed a comforting hand on your ever bouncing leg. “It’s all going to be fine, I’ll be right there beside you. They’ll be happy for you. Sure, they’ll hate to see you leave Japan but I don’t think they’ll hate you for it.” Riley comforted, removing his hand from your leg and wrapping his arms around you, pulling you into a much needed tight hug.
Riley was right. The guys were happy for you and this opportunity given to you, but obviously they hated to see you leave. They all assured you that you would always be Bullet Club regardless where you worked. Those words were confirmed when Jay agreed, adding that you would always be their pretty poison. It meant the world to you hearing the guys rally behind you and support you, especially since Jay was letting you stay in BC. You had grown to love those men and ended up being close — practically sisters — with Pieter. You’d miss her and hated leaving her alone with guys, but you knew she could handle them and if not, you would catch the first flight out to put them in their place.
When the day came for you to leave, you were a wreck, constantly crying and saying you changed your mind, that you wanted to stay. Riley would just silently pull you into a hug, rubbing your back the entire time while you clung onto him, soaking his shirt with your tears. You knew back when you made the decision to leave that you would be sad and what not, but you didn’t realize just how hard leaving everyone and everything would hit you. Luckily, you had been packed and ready for the past two days, quadruple checking your checklist of clothes, necessities, and other items. You remember like it was yesterday when you went to go over your checklist for the ‘billionth time’ as Riley had put it, you noticed Riley had snuck in a couple of his shirts and a hoodie, along with a bottle of his cologne. That was what started the waterworks. That one little gesture made your heart swell and made you wish he was coming with you.
As the day went on, you tried not to continuously cry your eyes out, sniffling and wiping your eyes to the point they were raw. Riley would make sure to be within arms reach in case you needed him, which you did — a lot. He tried to be strong for you, both of you crying would make things more difficult. “I’m always a call, text, and FaceTime away whenever you need or miss me. Day or night, I don’t care about the time zone difference. You’re my world babe, and no amount of distance will ever change that.” He reminds you as he pulls you into a kiss that made you weak in the knees from the passion. You knew where this kiss would lead — the same place it always did — the bedroom. You were correct as Riley’s hands roamed your body and began discarding your clothes, you doing the same to him. Before long the pair of you were a tangled mess in the sheets.
You ended up being thirty minutes late to the airport thanks to the sexy time you and your boyfriend had causing you both to lose track of time. Thankfully, your flight was delayed an hour due to some reason you didn’t care about because this meant you wouldn’t miss your flight and you also got to spend one more hour with your love. Or so you thought. You heard a group yelling and shouting at you from behind. Turning around you see all of Bullet Club rushing up to you, Pieter was the first to give you a massive hug thanks to her elbowing her way through the crowd of men. One by one they all gave you a hug and told you they’d miss you and wished you the best as well to call or text them. The sweetness was making you turn into a puddle of tears. You promised the men you call them and you promised Pieter you’d FaceTime her every day to tell her about your new adventure and her to tell you all about the chaotic schemes the guys come up with.
Shortly after that, it was time for you to board your plane. You took a deep shaky breath and opened your mouth to tell them bye when you were tackled into a massive group hug. You honestly wished the hug lasted longer, it felt like home because these devious little shits were your family.
You felt Riley pull you into a tight hug followed by one last passionate and loving kiss before you inevitably had to leave. “I love you. Call me when you land so I know you made it safely.” He sniffles, wiping away the tears that slid down his cheeks.
You nodded, quickly wiping your tears away as well. “I love you too. I— I have to go.” You whispered, not trusting your voice and knowing you wouldn’t be able to stop the tears. Riley gave your hand a final squeeze before letting you go and watching you board your plane.
That was the last time you saw your boyfriend in person. You talked to him every chance you got and he did the same. More often that not, the preferred method of communication was FaceTime. It made you both feel better seeing one another’s face, attempting to make it feel like you were still in close proximity to each other.
It was maybe five months after you joined AEW that the announcement was made for Forbidden Door, and you were excited, hoping that El Phantasmo would be on the show. Come to find out, he was and you were thrilled. You were finally going to see him in person again. The lead up to the pay per view went by slow in your eyes. You were so ready for it to be June 26th.
You didn’t have a match at Forbidden Door but that didn’t mean you wouldn’t be on the show. You were going out there like you used to back in NJPW — valeting Bullet Club, more specifically, your boyfriend. You thought you were thrilled before, now you were ecstatic. You had learned over the months that BC was going to be represented in a few different matches. El Phantasmo was teaming with The Young Bucks with you and Hikuleo ringside, and Jay would be defending his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
You remembered when Jay ventured over to AEW, you were happy to see him again, happy to fill him in on everything he needed to know about two of his three opponents for the pay per view — Adam Cole and Hangman Adam Page.
It was clear real quick that people knew where your allegiance fell, you were still a full fledged member of Bullet Club for crying out loud, and everyone knew, granted you never let them forget. Which is why Adam Cole was always trying to talk to you and talk you into some good deals if you stuck with him because, as he reminded you, Bullet Club is for life. At first you didn’t want to deal with him, but this little idea popped into your head. Everyone already knows my loyalties lie with the club, and Cole is so delusional that his little plan will work to get in Jay’s head, maybe I should have some fun with this. Poor Bay Bay won’t see this coming. That’s when you cooked up the idea to spy on Cole, to get him to trust you because you knew he didn’t know you as well as he thought. You knew the look on his face at the end of it all would be too sweet.
Your plan worked flawlessly as you relayed all the information over to Jay, the two of you coming up with how to reveal to Adam that he can’t outsmart the Switchblade as well as reveal that you were the X factor in all of it if he couldn’t put the pieces together himself. In time, all was revealed to Adam and the world just exactly what’s been going on. The look on Adam’s face was, indeed, too sweet.
All this was the buildup to Forbidden Door and that meant that you would be reunited with Riley soon. There’s not enough words to describe how happy you were. You stayed to yourself after the last Dynamite, ignoring all the chatter and rumors swirling about you and who knows what else. You didn’t mind it one bit, all you cared about was seeing your boyfriend.
The day Forbidden Door arrived was as chaotic like you had expected, the hustle and bustle of the crew and wrestlers were a big indicator. You kept your phone glued to your hand, impatiently waiting for Riley to call you, he told you he would call when he was on his way to the arena. Just when you were about to call him, hands covered your eyes and you were about to whip around and start wailing on the poor soul until you heard that familiar voice. “Guess who?!” Riley jokingly asked.
You wanted to be mad at him for not calling you, but you liked this surprise. Turning around to finally come face to face with him after all these months apart was unlike any feeling you’d ever felt. You couldn’t help but cry, and you didn’t care who saw. Riley pulled you into the same tight hug he gave you on the day you left. He pulled away after what felt like hours and wiped away your falling tears that you didn’t realize were there. You couldn’t wait any longer and pulled him into a passionate kiss that left the both of you breathless.
It wasn’t until Hikuleo coughed that alerted you he had been there the whole time as well as a smirking Jay. You just shook your head at Jay as he headed down the hall towards his private locker room. You and Riley followed after him, hand in hand, not caring what looks you received as you passed by your coworkers.
Time came for Riley’s match and you accompanied him to the ring as his music played, the two of you sharing a kiss once inside the ring. Once the match was about to get underway, you slipped out of the ring and joined Hikuleo on the floor, ready to assist as needed while keeping an eye on Himoru who was on the floor across from you.
You did everything you could like always to ensure that El Phantasmo would win, but unfortunately, no matter what you did it wasn’t enough, resulting in a loss for your team. You were bummed about it but Riley draping his arm over your shoulders is what lifted your spirits. He was there with you, and the two of you were going to make up for lost time.
Typically you’d go out and have a drink or two at the nearest bar before going to the hotel to call Riley, but tonight Riley was there with you. The pair of you turned down Jay and Hikuleo’s invitation for drinks, wanting to spend as much time together as possible before he had to leave.
At the hotel, you led Riley to your room and no sooner than you were in the door, his lips were on yours. You missed the way his lips felt, the way they tasted. The kiss was full of love and lust. You instantly returned the kiss, fingers running through his hair as he hands glided down your back and to you ass. You jumped when you felt him give your ass a squeeze followed by a firm slap. You missed this, his playfulness all while being incredibly sexy.
You reluctantly pulled away from his intoxicating lips, taking his hand and leading him farther into the room, giving him a sultry smile as you did so. You gently pushed him onto the bed and kissed him like your life depended on it. Riley wanted this just as bad you, pulling urgently at your clothes then his own. It wasn’t long before the two of you were once again tangled up in the sheets.
The next morning Riley awoke before you, tracing feather light circles on your arm as he admired your beautiful sleeping form. He had never felt like this before, and sometimes — a lot of the time — it scared him. He wasn’t sure what exactly he was supposed do now that there was this long distance between you and him. He loved you and would always fight for you, he didn’t have a doubt about that. He just didn’t know what the next step was with your relationship, he never pictured himself settling down until you graced him with your presence those few years ago. Now he thought a lot about marrying you, he was still undecided on kids though. He never saw himself as a dad either but who knows, after you’ve changed his mind on settling down he knew you could change his mind on anything.
Slowly opening your eyes, you instinctively moved closer to your boyfriend, you didn’t want any amount of space between you two. You adjusted your body so you could lay your head on chest and drape you arm across his stomach. “I was afraid yesterday and last night was all just a cruel dream.” You admitted quietly, snuggling further into his chest. “I’m glad it wasn’t. I missed you more than you can fathom.” You confessed. You felt Riley’s arms tighten around your body and place a kiss to the crown of your head.
“I was afraid of that too, babe. I missed you so much the guys threatened to tape my mouth shut.” He laughed. Oh how you missed that laugh, it was music to your ears. “I never wanna leave this bed.”
You were quick to prop up on your elbow, eyes wide. “Did you just quote Maroon 5?!” You asked in shock, curious if your ears deceived you.
“I did and I hate it.” He sighed, never one to care for pop music despite you enjoying it amongst other genres, some he liked and others he didn’t. You couldn’t help but laugh at his disgusted expression.
You went to get up but Riley pulled you back down. “And where do you think you’re going?” He asks, wanting you to stay in bed with him.
“Bathroom. And to get dressed, I’m hungry.” You stated, once again trying to get out of the bed. This time Riley let’s you go.
“I already got my eye on dessert!” He called after you, admiring the view of you walking off. You chuckled to yourself and shook your head, glad to know he hasn’t changed one bit.
Once the both of you were dressed, a knock at the door startled you. You weren’t expecting anyone but thought that maybe it was Jay and Hikuleo. You took a couple steps towards the door when Riley stopped you. “I got it, babe. It’s a surprise.” He winked as he passed by you and reached the door. You were confused on what kind of surprise he had in store for you. Honestly, you were a little nervous about what it could be because knowing your boyfriend, it could be anything.
You watched perched on the edge of an arm chair near the bed, head tilted to the side, eyebrows furrowed. You watched Riley step aside as a hotel employee rolled a cart into the room, a dome covered plate with coffee, tea, and orange juice sitting around the plate. There were small bowls of various fruit strategically placed on the tray as well. You made note of the fresh bouquet of flowers on the cart, a mixture of your favorite flowers — colored roses, sunflowers, daisies, and tulips.
You were overwhelmed with emotion at Riley’s sweetness. “What’s all this?” You ask, softly, wiping away tears from your eyes. You were definitely not expecting this.
Riley shrugged. “Just felt right.” He said, nonchalantly as he made his way over to you. “I bet you’re dying to see what’s for breakfast.” He grinned, pulling you into his arms and placing a gentle, loving kiss to your neck.
“Obviously.” You chuckled, looking up into the most gorgeous pair of eyes you’ve ever seen. “Depending on what it is I might not share.” You joked, nudging him playfully.
He shook his head moving away from you and lifting the dome to reveal pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, and sausage. It was definitely way more food than you could ever eat.
“Considering how much food is here, you definitely have to eat some.” You said as you passed him a fork. “You didn’t have to do this you know. I would have been fine with a bowl of cereal.”
“I love you and you deserve it, babe.” Riley gave you another loving kiss, this time to your temple. “Nothing but the best for my girl, my queen. Now, dig in!” He exclaimed before taking a big bite of a pancake.
Like the Grinch, you felt your heart grow three sizes that day. The remainder of the day was spent just goofing off and sight seeing. You knew you missed your other half, but until that day, you didn’t realize just how much you missed him. You were determined to fly out to Japan and surprise him the first chance you got.
Now there you were on a plane to Japan to surprise Riley at Wrestle Kingdom 17 at the Tokyo Dome. Surprisingly, it didn’t take too much convincing for Tony Kahn to grant you this one thing.
Riley was the one for you — you just knew it. Little did you know he felt the same, a little black, velvet box sitting on the dresser at the home you two shared in Japan showed it. He was more than ready to pop the big question and soon too.

The Bloodline is COOKING!
The legacy of the Anoa'i family, known as the Bloodline, is one of the most storied in WWE history. This article explores their rich history and entertains with the possibility of a new Bloodline vs. OG Bloodline matchup, featuring some of the most exciting talents in wrestling today.
The Origins of the Bloodline
The Bloodline's roots trace back to the legendary Anoa'i family, with members like Peter Maivia and the Wild Samoans paving the way. Over the decades, this lineage has produced icons such as Yokozuna, Rikishi, and The Rock. These superstars have left an indelible mark on WWE, combining talent, charisma, and a rich cultural heritage. For a detailed look at the family's history, visit WWE's gallery on the Anoa'i family.
Acknowledge Him!
In recent years, Roman Reigns has become the face of the Bloodline, dominating the WWE scene with his cousins, the Usos. Under the guidance of Paul Heyman, Reigns' reign as the Universal Champion has been marked by unmatched dominance and a series of unforgettable matches. The Bloodline's impact is not just in their in-ring success but also in their ability to evolve and stay relevant across generations. More on their influence can be found in WWE's tribute to the Samoan Dynasty.
The OG Bloodline
Roman Reigns: Known as the Tribal Chief, Reigns has held the Universal Championship for a record-breaking reign, showcasing his dominance and leadership in WWE. His storylines and matches have consistently been high-stakes and high-impact.
The Usos: As a tag team, Jimmy and Jey Uso have won multiple championships and are known for their high-flying style and synchronization in the ring. Their chemistry and familial bond make them a formidable team.
Sami Zayn: While not an original member of the Anoa'i family, Zayn's alignment with the Bloodline has added a new dynamic to the group. Known for his in-ring technicality and charismatic persona, Zayn brings a unique flavor to the Bloodline.
The New Bloodline
Solo Sikoa: The youngest member of the Anoa'i family to make waves in WWE, Solo Sikoa has shown immense potential with his agility and strength. His presence adds a fresh energy to the Bloodline legacy.
Jacob Fatu: Known for his time in MLW, Jacob Fatu has a reputation for being a powerhouse in the ring. His brute strength and high-impact moves make him a standout wrestler and a perfect fit for the new Bloodline. Recently, Jacob Fatu joined the Bloodline on SmackDown, adding even more firepower to this formidable group.
Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga: These brothers, famous for their work in NJPW as part of the Bullet Club, bring international experience and a ruthless style to the ring. Their hard-hitting tactics and wrestling acumen make them formidable opponents.
Zack "Feel The Byrne's" Theory
According to Zack aka Feel The Byrne, Roman Reigns may soon return as a babyface, only to find himself outnumbered by the New Bloodline. Reigns will attempt to reconcile with the OG Bloodline, but his efforts will be rejected one by one. In a dramatic turn of events, Reigns will find himself in trouble and outnumbered again, leading to the OG Bloodline members coming out one by one to save him. Zack revealed this theory during an episode of KVW: K4V3 Virtual Wrestling, adding an intriguing narrative layer that could lead to some epic moments in WWE storytelling.
Potential Matchup: New Bloodline vs. OG Bloodline
Fans are buzzing with excitement over a potential clash between the OG Bloodline and the New Bloodline. This matchup would not only be a tribute to the family's legacy but also a thrilling spectacle for WWE fans worldwide. Imagine Roman Reigns squaring off against Jacob Fatu, with the Usos and Sami Zayn taking on Solo Sikoa, Tonga Loa, and Tama Tonga. How would the new Bloodline's modern tactics fare against the old school power and experience of the OGs? This thought experiment invites fans to envision a dream match that could redefine the Bloodline's legacy.
The almost obvious potential grand finale of this storyline would be Roman Reigns facing "The Final Boss" The Rock at WrestleMania. This showdown could serve as the ultimate climax to the Bloodline saga, bringing together the family's greatest stars in an unforgettable match.
Netflix/WWE Deal
Adding to the excitement is the upcoming Netflix/WWE deal, set to begin in January 2025. This groundbreaking partnership will bring WWE’s flagship program Raw to Netflix, marking a significant shift from traditional TV. The deal, valued at $5 billion over ten years, also includes rights to SmackDown, NXT, and major WWE events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble. This agreement positions WWE to leverage Netflix’s global reach and platform, potentially setting up the Bloodline vs. Bloodline match at WARGAMES in mid-November as a perfect setup to start the Netflix debut with a bang. As they say, "Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?" and fans can't wait to see what he has in store.

hi!!
going off of what you recently said about being asked about music, I’m going to ask you about music! I love discovering new music so who are your top artists and your top songs?? either currently or all time
HI I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW THANK YOUUU
Okayokayokay I'm calm I promise :)
My favorite band of all time is linkin park, and honestly they always will be. Now I'm sure everyone knows all of their popular songs, but I'm going to go ahead and recommend a criminally underrated album of theirs, which is A Thousand Suns.
Now even though LP is my favorite band they obviously have not been active since 2017, so I'm going to also talk about my favorite band that's still currently active, and my second favorite band of all time. Shinedown!
If you're wondering just how much I love this band, I am about to see them for the fourth time at the end of the month! They are honestly so good live so if you're into rock music and looking for a damn good concert experience, I highly recommend catching one of their shows!
I know the lone star (and og) fandom is at least somewhat aware of them because whoever chooses music for these shows does not know how to miss 😊 and the song they used in the second episode of lone star, how did you love, is one of my favorite songs by them. I literally got so excited when it started playing and started singing along. A very memorable moment for me while watching this show! (I also have a shinedown shirt with the lyrics "every day is do or die" on the back...I promise I am normal about this band 😂)
fun fact: if you've seen me lurking around on my main, leave-a-whisper, that is a reference to their first album! I also reccomend the Sound of Madness album. These two are their two best albums in my opinion!
there are so many bands I could mention so I'm just going to mention a few more quick ones so that this doesn't become an essay. I also have last.fm if you want to take a look any bands I don't mention here, cause there's a lot!
Speed run under the cut! Trying to keep this at a reasonable length here 😂
Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin, I grew up listening to these bands! middle school harley practically lived and breathed one-x and phobia.
Halestorm, one of my favorite bands with a female lead. Lzzy's vocals are fucking insane and the music is extremely fun and empowering.
Speaking of amazing female leads, if you're looking for some metal (or just curious about getting into the genre) I really love Jinjer. They are insane live and Tati is a phenomenal vocalist.
I also dabble in prog music. I pretty much grew up listening to bands like Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree. Insane talent in both of these bands. One album I really love and reccomend is Deadwing by Porcupine Tree.
O.A.R, my childhood. My parents introduced me to this band when I was very young and I have loved their music ever since. I can't really compare them to anyone else, but I reccomend listening to songs like heaven and love and memories. Those are a couple of my faves!
I don't really listen to much rap music, but NF is a massive exception. His lyrics are always amazing and the music is just really fun, sometimes really angsty.
Bad Omens, Dayseeker and I Prevail are some good metal bands to get into if it's usually not a genre you'd enjoy. Amazing vocals.
Album recs!
I have been listening to To Be Everywhere is To Be Nowhere by Thrice. It's an amazing album. My favorite song off of it is Hurricane.
My favorite album that came out last year is Spirits by Nothing More.
My favorite albums that came out this year are Take Me Back To Eden by Sleep Token and Dead Club City by Nothing But Thieves.
Finally, some song recs!!!
Atlantic - Sleep Token
Satellites - Periphery
Higher Place - Malevolence
Familiar Taste of Poison - Halestorm
Mourning Song - Holding Absence
The Red - Chevelle
Tears Don't Fall - Bullet For My Valentine
Breaking My Bones - Friday Pilots Club
Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) - Deftones
Dying is Absolutely Safe - Architects
One More Light - Linkin Park
Death By Rock And Roll - The Pretty Reckless
I could mention sooooo much more but this is definitely enough for now. As you can see my music taste is very rock and metal heavy and I know that's not everyone's thing, but if you're unsure then definitely give some of these bands a try!
#I've peaked at the setlist for shinedown's show and it seems theh wont be plahing how did you love#but if they do...I will definitely get it on video for y'all#I can also do specific song recs for shinedown because they have so many amazing songs that it would have to be a separate post#also brent smith is truly an incredible vocalist#the things he did with simple man are just so creative and made it so much better than the original#asks#harley talks music

Bridgerton Rewatch S1E2 - Shock and Delight (Part 2)
AH PART 2 HERE WE GO
I love Lady Danbury’s speech to young Simon when she takes him under her wing. That trust and belief is something Simon desperately needed, and she gave it to him freely. Also, with her past of being a shy wallflower, I really hope she plays some part in the next season with Penelope. I think she will, but we’ll see.
Simon and Daphne dancing together will always make me smile. They move so well together, it’s great to watch.
This next bullet is pulled straight from my notes, no changes: “Would she?” Simon, the man you ARE <3
Simon’s speech is such a powerful storytelling tool. He uses diction and words as power now that he has power over them. Where I had this note was during the alley scene between him and Berbrooke. The way he says “understanding” in that exchange really stood out to me because it’s like the word is venom that he’s spitting at Berbrooke. It’s fascinating.
We love seeing entitled assholes getting their asses beaten.
Something that confuses me a little is why Simon’s father kept the letters? I don’t know, he just seems like the kind of spiteful asshole that would burn them as soon as he got them. I could be reading it wrong, who knows?
“Might I go promenade for suitors with Eloise” is the funniest thing Penelope has said so far in the show. You cannot change my mind.
The audience doesn’t see this until later in the show, but what stands out to me in this rewatch is how wrong Eloise is about marriage. I think it would be good for her to have a conversation with one of the younger married women of the ton so she can realize how much liberty is afforded to a woman once she is married. It sucks that marriage is a condition of said freedom, but that is something that I think Eloise will have to eventually come to terms with anyway.
Everyone squaring up ready to fight Berbrooke when he comes in with that special license is truly something special to me and I cannot explain why.
I feel so bad for Eloise being shoved into the carriage next to Anthony after that whole ordeal with Berbrooke. When my older brother’s angry, it’s scary. Take that and add the whole murderous rage thing and I wouldn’t be able to manage. And you can tell by the look on her face that she is terrified.
Ah, my favorite trope. Queer-coded siblings take a smoke break.
For someone who isn’t used to Queen Charlotte’s erratic behavior, Violet is taking it like a champ. She has no other option but it’s still impressive.
I wrote down “Lady Berbrooke, the OG boy mom” and I don’t think there’s much else to say on that one.
I love that this show really emphasizes that gossiping is an Olympic sport. Especially with this Lady Whistledown sequence and the way the information spreads. It starts small and we see it spread to the point of the men at the gentlemen’s club reading about it in the sheet. I don’t know, I just think it’s fascinating.
I think it’s blown over a lot but Eloise does love Daphne. She resents her like any younger sibling would resent being compared to their seemingly perfect older sibling. That’s just natural. She’s more flippant about her disdain for Daphne than is necessary but she’s lashing out. I really wish we got more development with their relationship.
Finally, I’m gonna expand on my earlier point about Simon’s speech. At the end of the episode, Simon’s stutter kind of peaks through when he’s hiding his feelings for Daphne. There’s raw emotionality there. His words say one thing, but his body says the opposite.
Anyway, there we go. E2 DOWN! I'm about to watch E3 and take my notes so hopefully I can manage to keep this schedule I have.

Ehi I just finished to listen to the lion marks podcast and it was amazing, I can’t wait to listen to the new episode when it come Out. I also wanted to say something about bullet club war dogs:
I agree with you when you say that under Finlay leadership we have seen a bullet club much closer to the OG concept than with Kenny or Jay but I think that are two things that are different
1 David leadership. First thing first the way he lead the group is really straightforward: you either bring championships or win. This is the target that he has putted in place and if you don’t reach it then you’re out the group
2 the energy of the youth. Ok hear me out, if you think about it the majority of the current members of BC are young and an hunger for gold (And I think this hunger was satisfied at independent day) so this is also,at least in my opinion, another reason for this burst of energy from the current BC that makes them much more closer in concept the the OG club.
Sorry for the long ask
MEG🌼
(This is the way I also sign when I finish to write an ask)
Ahhhhh first of all thank you for listening and taking the time to send this ask! It means so much to me and I'm sure @elphantasmo as well! ❤️ And don't apologize for the long ask, I love long asks!
I agree with you 100% on both points about the War Dogs! I don't know if you saw the ask that I answered about them a few days ago, but I basically said exactly what you did :) And I know I didn't get too much into in the podcast and didn't say much myself at all but I'm going to be better prepared for this week's episode!
Thank you again so much for listening! My inbox is always open!

Getting to Know Me Tag Game
Thanks to @musings-of-a-rose for tagging me!
Top Three Ships: 10th Doctor x Rose (my OGs), Loki x Darcy (a very strange exploration but I really enjoyed it), Sherlock x Molly (I know!)
Favorite color: Daffodil yellow, royal blue, dusty rose
Last song: Ceilings by Lizzie McAlpine
Last Book: The Society of Shame for book club, and Billy Summers by Stephen King is on loan from a coworker, so I've been meaning to start that.
Currently Watching: I've been sick for most of this week, so I chewed through Loki S2 (LOVED it, still crying) and a season of Dimension 20 (The Ravening War). Now I'm starting Fall of the House of Usher and as a big Poe fan, I am LOVING it so far.
Current Obsession: Trying my hand at bullet journaling because I've been in a productivity rut lately and want to see if it helps motivate me. Though all I've done so far is watch videos of people talking about how to bullet journal, so not much started on that front.
Currently working on: So many things!
Fic related: A BEEFY next installment of I Think of You, Dieter and Murch's first date, the next SW!Frankie ask (which starts a new mini-arc with them, which I'm excited for), prepping for a couple of challenge fics, and deciding if one of my oneshot WIPs may come onto the schedule after that.
Non-fic related: prepping for Thanksgiving, new holiday decor for my place, Christmas shopping and my favorite part - wrapping gifts!
Country I want to visit: I'd love to see Morocco, New Zealand, Japan, and Montreal!
I think this made the rounds recently, so anyone who hasn't played that wants to, jump on in!

Twitter and Reddit really have the worst opinions on wrestling. They both still think Bullet Club should end and they don't care that their shirt is selling out.
I think the new version of BC is really good! I wasn't sold on it at first but it's been a nice change back to the OG way things were done.
A lot of what I see are people saying Finlay is just a cheap knockoff of Jay White and I just don't see it. They don't even wrestle close to a similar style lmao
