Green/Blue Fire in HB + Specific focus on Asmodeus

Gonna start off by saying that I am certainly not the first person to identify the clear narrative difference between green and blue fire in HB.

While green fire has destroyed everything, it arguably correlates both to the nature of fire and the symbolism of the color green.

Green symbolizes money/greed (this is redundant, ik im sorry). But we can say, Fizz became both literally and figuratively wounded/consumed/scarred by the greed of Cash Buckzo. I’m not sure of the extent that Fizz was working under Mammon at this time, so I think it might be better if we stick with Cash’s greed. Although Fizz’s idolization of Mammon may have been one of the factors that aided in ignoring the abuse, we can also argue that Cash laid the groundwork for normalizing an exploitative relationship.

Furthermore, green can symbolize envy. So maybe, we can view green fire as not only a symbol of Cash’s greed, but .... possibly Blitzo's jealousy?

I'd argue it is a bit of a reach. Although his jealousy is apparent from childhood, before the fire Blitz always seems to be supportive of Fizz even after he's got fans.

After the misunderstanding between the two that further separates them, his jealousy is a bit more obvious though. Never can he forget about his own lack of success in the circus, and Fizz seems to represent that era of his life.

So again, the idea of Blitz's jealousy as one of the things that "destroyed" Fizz is iffy... But Cash’s greed makes sense symbolically.

Let's move on.

Blue fire, on the other hand, seems to be ineffective to hell's citizens just like normal red fire, seen as how Fizz doesn't flinch using Ozzie's fire batons and yknow openly cuddles his big blue flaming bf.

But I looked into the further symbolism of blue fire, cuz I felt that there had to be a reason why it was such a big aspect of Ozzie's design. Furthermore, what makes blue fire more tame? In part because i was interested, in part cuz of my increased procrastination during finals season, I stumbled upon this dandy lil article --

https://atlasmythica.com/blue-flame-symbolism-meaning/ .

TLDR: describes distinct symbolism of blue fire (meant to be interpreted in relation to dreams, but i think it's interesting to see in HB's context, too)

Although red fire -- fire in it's purest form, really -- can symbolize destruction, it also symbolizes passion, energy, desire, or love.

The color blue intrinsically seems to combat fire in itself, being that it symbolizes depression, tranquility or rationality.

What the article really deduces is that blue fire can represent 'healthy emotions' -- those in which we balance passions and desires without repressing them.

Not gonna go over Ozzie's little love/lust tangent we get when we're first actually introduced to him cuz I think by now everyone gets the gist of it. But it's important, cuz it underlines his regard/performance of his sin. And I think the article's conclusion of what blue fire represents really correlates with his identity as the embodiment of lust/passion.

Lust is not meant to be forced, neither should it be repressed.

Arguably, his expression of lust can correlate to how he shows all other emotions.

Overall, Ozzie is a chill guy - blue very well matches his personality in the sense that he kinda oozes comfort, contentment and self-possession. Outwardly, he seems naturally charismatic, like Fizz, loves entertaining a crowd, and is very open and proud about his sin.

But, dude doesn't hold back when he's pissed, as do all the other sins we've seen, yet even that has nuance. Yeah, he gets disgruntled at the thought of all his factory assets being given to Crim, but at the thought of Fizz's head on the guy's wall -- that's an automatic hell no.

When it comes to things he's passionate about, he bares his emotions on his sleeve, impulsively letting them guide actions that someone like Stolas would have thought twice about.

He wanted Fizz back so badly, he was willing to sign Crim's contract off the bat -- imagine if Stolas hadn't intervened. And what about the factors that built up to his public confession of loving Fizz?

I get it -- Ozzie was fed up of hiding his relationship, but this confession wasn't a goddamn soft launch either, it was very abrupt, in the heat of the moment. Right then and there, he's not thinking of the consequences of his actions, which are hinted at considering Mammon will def make a reappearance.

So, along with his naturally relaxed demeanour, there’s that component in accordance with fire — the passionate, fiery, shameless side that cannot be repressed.

What I mean to say, at the end of it all, is that what we can surmise about blue fire really matches with Ozzie's character. It's a testament to his design. Love the guy and I'm so curious to see what the show ends up doing with him and Fizz.

[doodler16]

"If anything Ozzie could’ve been the one who would ask where Stolas is, yknow an established character we already know and someone who knows the details and gave Blitzø the ozmedous crystal so they don’t have to travel illegally."

i think this is the exact reason viv wants to act like ozzie was incapable of doing anything by passive aggressively liking fans tweets that argued he couldnt have possibly spoken up. because if he had even tried to save blitzs heiny by saying truthfully, "hey, wait - i know that guy! my partner fizz is friends with him! and he didn't force himself onto stolas, stolas personally asked me for an asmodean crystal for him when he realized he had, and i quote, 'feelings' for the imp! see? look at his right forearm, that there's one of my crystals, legally approved of." then they all would've believed a seven deadly fucking sin over some pissy elsa rip off that's ranks below ozzie, who has NO evidence of these vile accusations, vs the literal asmodean crystal on blitzs arm that you can literally see throughout the entire the trial. it's not like they took it off or anything! it's still there! keeping in mind theres no such thing as bootlegs crystals, because every on screen depiction (and i think even on screen description) states that an asmodean crystal is a personal item tied to it's owner - it's LEGAL owner.

but if that had happened, then we wouldn't have gotten our stoliz climax where stolas shows he loves blitz by.. doing the bare minimum of NOT letting blitz die due to STOLAS'S DECISION in murder family to make them fuck for the book, instead of giving his "first ever fwiend" an asmodean crystal immediately. how romantic!

im just getting so sick of the parasocial vivziepop stans doing backflips in logic to justify the way the story is, without realizing that they could and SHOULD be given something better. they see the cracks, but viv just doesn't want them to, because it's her way or the highway - she's the biggest fan of her own show, so things happen the way she wants them to, not in a way that makes any logical sense when you put it under the usual critical eye the average writer (and casual viewer) would.

i mean, what if oz said that, but satan still deemed a punishment against blitz worthy for having the grimorie to begin with at all as an imp, still tried to execute blitz as a public display of power, and THEN oz texts stolas while notifications of fizz texting oz pop up? you still get your angst, have ozzie ACTUALLY be a good person who's willing to put his neck out on the line for someone lesser then him with no personal gain and not just be a canonical complacent royal fuck who was about to let his lovers reunited best friend die on public television, which is why i will never be invested in fizzozzie ever again tbh, and STILL have your big stoliz savior moment, without it happening due to just because of stolas just so happening to turn on the news that day. a text from oz could've given stolas a moment to very briefly consider if this is something he should intervene in, before realizing he has to, because blitz made him feel free for the first time in his life. now he can free him too, from the grimorie, and from suffering the consequences of his actions that put blitz in this position unfairly to begin with. also i wouldn't personally write stolas following this up with a song about how he's the mastermind behind a plan he knows nothing about or have him insult his "lovers" intelligence repeatedly within it, "that's the point," my ass, stolas could've just sung about the way blitz made him feel when they first met as kids and then again as adults, and why he gave him the grimorie because of that, contradicting andres imp rape claim and showing blitz that stolas DOES care in a way that ISNT self sacrifice, but nooooo, we need just one more song of stolas being a entertaining dick! no wonder she said this episode was self indulgent lol

Someone get rid of Vivziepop’s Twitter or someone on her Spindlehorse team get Viv a social media manager. 💀 The fact this woman is passively aggressively liking tweets in defense of her show is insane. And maybe just maybe Vivziepop should explain herself in the show instead of Twitter.

I don’t care what anybody says Ozzie could’ve done more and spoken up. He is one of the seven deadly sins and has the power to make a difference. If Stolas (someone who is lower than Ozzie in terms of status) can make a heroic entrance to save his booty call and talk/sing against Satan. Then Ozzie has a chance.

Anon why is your version so much better. That “Mastermind” song so unnecessary (it’s one of the few songs I personally don’t vibe with except the ending, I will admit Satan and other sins part is fire). Stolas says how he love blitzø yet uses any chance to insult and demean his intelligence in the most mean spirited way possible.

Speaking of Betrayal, RWDE DOES remember that Ironwood did the Polendina project behind EVERYONE’S back at the Vytal festival AND removed Ozzie Ozzy Ozpin from power simply for not licking Jimmy’s boots?

BEFORE Season / Volume 4?

can you explain this to me because i didn't understand it

(i'm not an ironwood stan i just wander how the penny project behind everyone back is bad and what do you mean by remove ozpin from his power)

Ozpin was responsible for keeping Salem at Bay.

He united the four kingdoms under a democratic system.

He created the huntsmen system.

And was responsibly for the Vytal tournament, an international peace and culture conference.

Now Ironwood?

Militarizes the huntsmen system into his own personal army.

Shows up to Vale during a time of Peace with a war fleet?

Demands Ozpin do everything that Ironwood wants, but when Ozpin tries to talk reason into ironwood, Ironwood's response is to start tattling on Ozpin to the council, thus removing the man who did all of the above things responsible for humanity's safety and survival...all because Ozpin did not obey Ironwood's demands.

We call people like that Politicians, or backstabbers.

Ironwood was willing to sabotage humanity to get what he wanted, and always blamed other people if he didn't succeed.

Penny? The weaponization of a human soul. Using the Vytal Festival for weapons testing? An internaitonal peace conference for weapons testing?

We call that a war crime.

Ironwood kept demanding everyone trust him, but always went behind everyone's backs to do whatever he wanted.

So yeah, Ironwood was a hypocrite to the highest degree. Its just that people kept seeing and admiring his "good intentions" to where they would downplay, excuse, or justify whatever bad he ever did.

It was around the Episode "Breach" where the Vale Council told Ozpin that Ironwood had literally gone behind Ozpin's back.

Then Qrow in V3 literally told Winter about how Ironwood sold out Ozpin and how Ironwood could not protect anyone.

Amelia’s pick

Ok, here are my thoughts on a few ways this could go down. If you haven’t played LITG s6 yet, this contains SPOILERS.

Amelia picks Ivy’s partner (Ryan or Jamal) Amelia expressed interest in Ivy’s partner when Ivy tried to stir the pot by asking a bunch of loaded questions about the twins’ relationship. Their interaction was a bit telling so it might be a little on the nose. But it seemed like Amelia was trying to rile Ivy up (yay) so going for her partner would track. The downside to this is now Ivy would be single and said she wants “Every. Single. Boy. Even if some of them might not be single.” She also “takes a sensual look” at your partner before she couples up with hers. So yeah, that probably means she wants our LI. But it sounds like we all are ready to have our MC throw down this season so BRING IT! 🥊

Amelia picks Ozzy As an Ozzy stan myself, I am hoping this doesn’t happen but FB has a way of breaking my heart so, you know. She kisses Ozzy in the challenge, though in her defense he was a logical choice for dating a celeb. And Grace is the only girl who verbally conveys her worry that Amelia will take her partner. All the boys have dialogue that they think she’ll choose them so I don’t put much stock in that. The fallout for this choice seems low on the drama scale (I think Grace will be more sad than mad cuz they just coupled, but I could be wrong). But for those of us willing to play the long game for Ozzy it adds another layer of angst for sure.

Amelia picks MC’s partner I really want to believe FB is more creative than this, but… This might seem like the most obvious choice- I just don’t think it will happen. We’ve all been speculating that Amelia may have history with MC’s ex, but she talks to MC about fresh starts and leaving the past behind. And how bad would she look if she came in and immediately took her twin sister’s LI?! My gut is telling me this is a redemption story for the sisters’ relationship and while there may be some rivalry, I am hopeful she won’t pick our LI (at least not right out the gate). But it is only the first day and all the LI’s seem to have dialogue about “if it’s meant to be” and “finding our way back to each other” if they get chosen. I guess we’ll see 👀

I will be shocked if Amelia picks Bella’s partner. Even though they are in a friendship couple and it would make the least waves, it would also lead to zero drama. And usually the first recoupling causes a stir. But I could be totally wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’d love to hear anyone else’s thoughts on this. Who do you think she’s gonna choose?

👯‍♀️💗🎶🛹🕺🏽⚽️

[magicwaaaze]

Mo I know you posted about it like 2 hours ago but I love kindergarten 2 and havent seen any content or opinions about it since it first came out so I would really enjoy hearing you talk about it honestly 🥺🥺🥺

oh my god?? 🥺🥺💕 thank you so much for giving me an excuse to talk about it hygsgdfg

i haven’t seen a lot of kindergarten 2 content either ever since the hype died down. i rewatched jacksepticeye’s playthrough recently and now i’m just kinda searching the tags for new art/headcanons 😔 but! i guess i might as well put my own content out there now that i have the chance! here are some headcanons and opinions and pretty much everything i’ve been thinking about it

personal opinions:

nugget is a king as per usual 😌✨ we stan a true intellectual

the huxley twins are by far my favorite characters in the series (sorry nugget-). i just really like their dynamic and it just seems like there’s a lot of ✨lore✨ behind them. i probably have more headcanons for them than for anyone else tbh

i hate the janitor with a burning passion he makes me want to throw hands with an 80 year old. monty gave him less than what he deserved 😤

60% of me loves ozzy and 40% of me wants to give him a bouquet of green flowers

he reminds me of sammyclassicsonicfan

there should be a third alternate ending to cain’s not able where felix gets a redemption arc, learns how to not be a dick to teddy, and they both live happily ever after. 😔 alas.

i think penny should’ve been the one to kill the principal. she deserved it after all of that :(

jerome is criminally underrated. i love him and he deserved more screen time :(

lily and billy are so cool what the h*ck

stevie was just trying to do his job i’m so sad-

honestly, i don’t ship felix and cindy at all. if anything, they make me think of a married couple who got divorced and stayed best friends afterwards- but i do love how much of a chaotic duo they are

buggs: *breathing*

me:

seriously someone please just hug him

okay but WHY did the principals want to turn the kids into monsters? i get it but like i wanna know their motives. the female principal said that she wanted to take over other schools in the area but for WHAT i’m curious

clout glasses felix was the best thing to come out of the fandom and you can’t change my mind

i gotta know what that trip to the nugget factory was like for felix and nuggie wuggie. did they have a bonding moment. did they just go to mcdonald’s. did they h*ld h*nds. I Need To Know

dr. danner deserves to say one swear word. as a treat. he is so tired

headcanons:

penny is alive (figuratively speaking) and well after creature feature. monty and carla rebuilt her with danner’s help and she’s not a pile of robotic parts and goo anymore,, monty’s family ended up taking her in because they think she’s just a sweetheart

the main character and nugget both don’t have parents/family and live on their own. gang gang 🤟

buggs is much wiser than he lets on. he’s supposed to be in first grade but got held back

nugget has a diet that consists solely of different brands of chicken nuggets and honey mustards

ozzy and ted are secretly best friends

ozzy wears gloves 24/7

monty has a new york accent and the huxley’s have british accents you Cannot change my mind

ted literally thinks that felix is the coolest person to ever walk the planet. he pretty much idolizes him. which is why he never stands up for himself when felix starts being... well, felix. he justifies all of his brother’s actions even though he knows they’re wrong

the twins eventually learn how to be good brothers to each other because i’m dumb and i want them to be happy together :’(

buggs and penny eventually become very good friends (he pretended not to want her friendship bracelet, yet he wears it every day)

that leg in the nugget cave? penny’s. :)

ted plays violin and felix plays piano

monty actually comes from a really wholesome family, but they don’t have a lot of money. he uses his earnings from his side business to help them out because he loves the hell outta them

the huxley twins’ mom isn’t apart of their lives. she and mr. huxley got divorced when he got caught cheating 👀 it was a huge scandal and after they divorced she straight up ditched them. at least, that’s what father tells them

theodore is just ted’s evil alter ego okay. it’s his emo persona okay. that’s not my boy, he’s just going through a phase, thAT’S NOT m

A Guide to VH1's Drunk, Loud, Unapologetic Golden Age of Reality TV

Rock of Love,' 'Flavor of Love,' 'I Love New York,' and others are on Prime, so it's time to revisit Somethin's staircase poop.

Watch on:  https://episodesthebadgirlsclub.com/episodes

Spanning roughly from 2006 to 2010, a time period which yielded such glorious shows as Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and I Love New York, this is, undoubtedly, an opportunity to re-immerse oneself in the golden era of trash television. Without these now-classic shows, the world would never know Tiffany "New York" Pollard, the most GIFable queen of the entire internet. It would never learn that "people who eat basil are lame," or that "stripper shoes go with any outfit," among other gems of wisdom from Rock of Love Bus's glorious (and often wasted) cast member Ashley Klarich. Truly, this earth would have been worse off had it never been privy to Tykeisha "Somethin" Thomas from Flavor of Love season 2 infamously defecating on the staircase after a clock ceremony (more on this later), or Nikki taking a test-tube shot out of Gia's vagina on Rock of Love. These contestants and their hijinks were far from the Hannahs and Laurens of The Bachelor universe, unafraid to let their freak flags wave, get laid, get drunk, be loud, and drag each other ruthlessly.

While there's now an entire universe of 90 Day Fiancé and more than half a dozen Real Housewives franchises fulfilling our raccoon-like need to devour absolute garbage, VH1's staple lineup of 00s reality TV just hit differently. These shows were unhinged in strange and hilarious ways, and remain endlessly quotable, memeable, and, now, nostalgic for reality TV fans. These characters' willingness to go to astronomical levels of absurdity and all-out, televised chaos for the object of their (heavily staged) affection remains mesmerizing, undoubtedly egged on by producers and accentuated by editors' additions of tongue-in-cheek sound and visual effects (like Flavor of Love's Hottie getting a bike chime noise every time she blinked her big, false lashes at someone).

Now, years after their sell-by date, we can joyously revisit these wonderfully subversive pieces of reality TV perfection. Here's a helpful guide to VH1's greatest shows, all of which embody the wildness of an abandoned amusement park run by feral badgers.

If it's rap legends, boss bitches, and bodily fluids you crave, get a taste of Flavor of Love.

After his breakup with 80s actress Brigitte Nielsen (their relationship was documented in the aptly titled series Strange Love, a spin-off of The Surreal Life), VH1 producers gave Public Enemy's Flavor Flav the chance to find The One on Flavor of Love, a dating series that parodied The Bachelor. Unlike The Bachelor, however, the series featured a racially diverse cast of women vying for one of Flav's trademark clocks to wear around their necks, signifying that they would advance to the next round. While many Black writers called out the show for being exploitative and perpetuating offensive stereotypes, the series was a ratings beast that lasted three seasons and led to multiple spinoffs, and the women that stepped into Flav's mansion became some of the greatest contestants in reality TV history thanks to their unapologetic, unadulterated personalities. They kept it real at all times, leading to scenes and lines that are still fondly memorialized on the internet to this day. There was Hottie's assurance that everyone says she reminds them of Beyoncé; Pumkin launching a spit missile at New York; the aforementioned poop on the staircase incident (Somethin explained that she tried to hold it, but her stomach said, "Bitch, you've got me fucked up;" Flav then applauded Somethin for being "real with it"); and too many moments from Tiffany "New York" Pollard to count. For two seasons, New York ran the other women ragged, implementing grade-A trash talk, stare-downs, and fearlessness in pursuit of her man Flav. Her iconic level of drama rendered her worthy of various spin-offs, a Brooklyn art show of works created in her honor, and a throne as the reigning as the queen of reaction GIFs. Every minute of television where the camera is on New York is worth the watch.

If you stan stripper heels, giant breast implants, and hair teased to the heavens, look no further than Rock of Love.

For three seasons, Bret Michaels—best known as the lead singer of hair-metal band Poison and the co-star of Pamela Anderson's lesser-known sex tape—searched America (and whatever part of France the extremely horny Angelique is from) to find his tour bus partner for life. The incessantly sloppy-drunk contestants came in hot, armed with an arsenal of clear heels, ass-cheek-grazing polyester dresses, and an insatiable desire to make out with Bret Michaels. But they were more than Sunset Strip groupies, strippers, and porn stars; they were women on a mission to get their man (and some screen time). There were standouts from all three seasons, like the big-haired, 80s metal goddess Heather, who got Michaels's name tattooed on her neck; the cackling, painfully earnest cowgirl Rodeo; and mean girl Ashley, whose magnificent implants and the way she said "bitch" made her extra larger-than-life. But those women were just a few in a kaleidoscope of big personalities, including one contestant who took everyone's used socks after a hockey match to keep for her personal use. In the end, Bret never found his true match, but the search yielded hours of premium entertainment.

You love Tiffany Pollard? Then you'll definitely love I Love New York.

After two unsuccessful efforts to win Flav's final clock, Pollard landed a spin-off dating show of her own. For two seasons, Pollard and her frighteningly brutal mom, Sister Patterson, put a group of studs and duds through the absolute ringer as they pledged their undying love for New York. Within that group were some standouts that made for excellent television, like excruciatingly dweeby white boy Mr. Boston, mouthy "stallionaire" Chance, his more tender brother Real (who tragically died of colon cancer in 2015), outspoken little person Midget Mac, Italian mama's boy Frank the Entertainer, and countless others. There was toe sucking, speedo wearing, a pretty bad nosebleed, and a fervent church service led by Sister Patterson. It was worth watching for Pollard's electrifying presence alone, but became a true carnival thanks to the full cast and their antics.

If it's a group of lingerie-clad women flipping off outdated ideas of respectability you like, go with Charm School.

Charm School sought to do the impossible: reform the hard-partying and harder-fighting women from Flavor of Love and Rock of Love, and turn them into polite, well-behaved ladies. It did so in grossly outdated ways, like telling the women to dress and behave less sexually. But the ladies fought back in every possible way, finding it hard to leave their boozing, trash-talking, and wearing-lingerie-as-outerwear ways behind them. (Bless them for that.) Hosted by Mo'Nique, Sharon Osbourne, and Ricki Lake in seasons 1, 2, and 3, respectively, the show saw contestants forced to perform challenges aimed at molding them into business-savvy, self-sufficient women, and in some cases, contestants seemed to actually care about evolving into better versions of themselves. But many others weren't even trying, and the show will be forever remembered as the one where Osbourne beat up aspiring trophy wife Megan Hauserman after she insulted Ozzy Osbourne during the season 2 reunion. Not the most charming moment.

Some drama and trouble for our devoted pair:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14157339/chapters/43808419#workskin

Not Just a Walk in the Park

For the first time in a long time, Oswald woke up alone.

He was holed up in a tiny cell 6 ft by 4 ft.

It was dark, and it took his eyes a while to adjust and make out his surroundings.

He had been placed on a shallow mattress on the floor. He had one thin blanket to cover himself with.

The floor was hard, and his leg was killing him, as he had been lying awkwardly on a shallow mattress on top of a cold, hard surface.

He struggled to his feet, groaning and wincing, and looked around him.  He really needed his stick but of course, that had been taken from him in the attack.

His head was also fuzzy and aching, they must have stuck him with some kind of drug to keep him unconscious.  However, what really concerned him was not his physical pain, but the fact he was alone and he remembered Jim shouting something, recalled hearing a shot before he was knocked out -  just after the bag was thrown over his head.

His heart lurched -  he felt sick. What happened to Jim?  Where was he, what did they do to him?  Was he shot?

He shivered not just from the cold but also the fear that something awful could have befallen Jim.

He limped slowly and painfully over to the metal cell door, yelled and commenced banging on it.  He hit the door so hard that it bruised then lacerated his knuckles. They cracked and bled, but still he beat his fist over and over.  

“Show yourself!  Show yourself!” he cried, over and over again, until he was hoarse, until he had almost no breath or voice left.

He stood there gasping, regaining his breath, readying himself to launch another tirade at the silent, unhearing door.

“You cowardly bastards!”  he cried. “Where are you?  Who are you? What do you want with me? What have you done with Jim?!”

He sobbed with anger and fear - but at this point, he allowed anger to be the dominant emotion.  Anger was an energy. It would stop him from going under, from surrendering, giving in to whatever mental torment - and in all likelihood, physical torture -  they seemed hell bent on putting him through. Whoever ‘they’ were. Why didn’t the cowards make an appearance, show their faces to him?

Then after what seemed like an eternity of screaming abuse at a blank door and getting nil  response, he finally collapsed in exhausted tears. He hobbled back to the makeshift bed he woke up in, pulled the thin blankets they had provided around himself, trying to keep warm, and cried himself bitterly into a fitful sleep.

He slept and woke in fits and starts, thinking he heard noises periodically, but then finding it was all in his head. The effects of the drug had  not completely worn off and he so he was still feeling physically tired even though psychologically, his nerves were jangling.

In his waking moments, he remembered walking with Jim in the park, so carefree and in love.  It had been a beautiful spring day, he remembered. He had no idea what the weather was like now, as there were no windows to look out of.

He also had no idea what the time was as ‘they’ had taken all his jewellery including his watch - but the worst thing of all was the engagement ring, finding that now his finger was bare.  They took that too!

His angry, heartbroken tears fell afresh.  “I’m so sorry Jim,” he whispered, as if Jim was there to hear his confession.  He couldn’t help holding himself accountable for the loss of the precious treasure given to him with such love and devotion all that time ago.

He recalls Jim’s smile, his gentle hand on the small of his back, and the warm late spring sunshine on his face as they walked along together.  That moment was one of the happiest of his life and this day should have been so perfect….

Their wedding was now just two months away.  They had been full of excitement, full of hope for the future.

Why hadn’t he listened to Jim?  They should have brought those two goons along for protection.  Oswald had always nurtured a certain amount of healthy paranoia, it had helped him to stay alive - but being with Jim had made him feel invincible somehow, safe, protected, and he had begun to feel more calm and relaxed about everything in general.  Love would conquer all - he had come to believe that now more than ever.

Now he was paying the price for his complacency, holed up in this disgusting damp, dark jail cell, God knows where, all alone and isolated.

But despite all this, he would feel much happier if he knew Jim was ok.    As long as Jim hadn’t paid the price for his carelessness….

Where were his captors, and when would they come to him and tell him what the hell was going on?

He didn’t care what they did to him, as long as Jim was safe.

Oswald hadn’t noticed the small surveillance camera positioned high up at the far corner of the room.

Enzo stood there watching the footage on the monitor, smiling to himself.

Yeah, let him cry himself to sleep, the stupid fag.    As if he could have got the better of me, he thought. Him and his hubris!  Him and his fag cop boyfriend. He would so enjoy torturing the little bastard.

He wasn’t keen to identify himself - in fact the hostage negotiations were all being conducted through a third party.  Contracted out, as it were. That would confuse the GCPD, put them off the scent.

He just had to decide if he would, ultimately, let this scumbag live or enjoy eventually putting him out of his misery with a bullet in his brain.  Because that’s what he would be begging for in the end.

Earlier that day:

“Let’s go for a walk in the park!”

Oswald smiled at Jim across the breakfast table, stirring the sugar into his bitter black coffee as he spoke.

Jim bit ravenously into his second slice of toast, thickly spread with butter and preserves.

They sure had worked up an appetite last night!

“Yeah, why not?  It’s a nice day for it.”

The sun was indeed shining, brighter than it had done in a while.

It was a shame to waste it.

“I have a feeling this is going to be a great weekend!” he grinned. Ozzy smiled back, dazzling him with his bright blue eyes, put down his coffee spoon  and teased the soft spikes of his ravishing raven mane with his elegant fingers.

“Me too.”  Oswald smiled with affirmation, winking his pretty blue eye.   He reached for the preserves.

“I’ll just call up Stan and Lee, they’ll want to come with us I suppose,” Jim said, beginning to punch in their numbers on his cell.

These were Oswald’s two new bodyguards, who seemed to be taking their job very seriously.  Almost too seriously, Jim thought, although he was still grateful that they were around to protect Oswald.

And they had come highly recommended by the employment agency.  Gabe had made sure of that - he wanted reliable men to take care of his boss while he and Zsasz were busy making the wedding arrangements - or as he put it to Oswald, sorting out a big problem in the Narrows.

“No, Jim - I really don’t want those two hanging around us today.  I want to be alone with you.”

“I know sweetheart, I want to be alone with you too.  But - well, after the trial..you know, after what Enzo said….”

“He doesn’t scare me!”  Oswald scoffed, then he took a big bite out of his toast.  “Besides, they wouldn’t dare do anything when we’re out in broad daylight in full view of the public,” he continued indignantly, brandishing his toast crust.  “That wouldn’t do their case any good! And besides, Detective Gordon - I feel safe with you.” He gave Jim an extra wide feline smile.

Jim’s heart fluttered, as it always did when Oswald looked that way at him.   He took a breath and collected himself.

“Oswald - please, seriously, I want to be sure you’re safe - we need this backup, at least until we can get enough evidence to put Enzo behind bars,”  Jim frowned anxiously.

Oswald cocked his head and smiled softly at Jim.  “Ahhhh Jim,” he sighed. “I’m so touched that you care for me so deeply.  I do love you for that. But really, Jim - honey - I’m sure there is nothing to worry about.”

Oswald had been a very high profile witness for the case.

He hadn’t held back  - especially as the person on trial,  Gasparo Carrara, was the right hand man of Enzo Leccese.

He had provided enough evidence to send him down for a long time.

And when Commissioner Loab had asked what he wanted in return, all he said, as deadpan as you like, was, “To help the GCPD, sir, is all I want.”  

What he wanted most was to make Jim proud and to get back at that homophobic bastard Leccese, but he didn’t say either of those things  out loud. These were personal things that meant something only to him and his beautiful fiance.

Back at the GCPD, everyone had expressed their gratitude  - the guy was a cop killer who had put away four of their colleagues in that bank raid - and even Barnes made a point of thanking him.

“There is no honour amongst thieves, Captain Barnes - you should know that!” Oswald had joked, deliberately playing down his role in the outcome.  

“No comment!  Just glad you could help,” had been the good humoured reply as Barnes had offered his hand.

The look on Jim’s face had been a picture as he had approached the two of them and seen Barnes smile and shake Oswald’s hand.  Wonders really would never cease!

And as he had reached them, Barnes had turned, still smiling, and said, “Hey, Jim.”  He had coughed awkwardly. “Erm - by the way, you two - now you’re both here - I believe  congratulations are in order. I’m sorry, guys, that it took me this long. I hope you’ll forgive me.”

Later,  Jim told Oswald that his wide-eyed, open-mouthed look of amazement had been priceless….and so, so pretty….

But  now, after the glory was done, after all the back slapping and celebrating and bonding was over,  there was that fear that somehow, there would be repercussions. Serious ones.

If Oswald felt that he certainly wasn’t showing it, thought Jim.  He was so brave, resilient and tough! But he was very worried about him.  

He wanted to protect him.   He loved him so much it hurt.

And he had nearly lost him once before, which was once too often.  That still stung him - he would never forget it.

He would kiss the scar on Oswald’s chest often, to show him he would never forget his heroism.

And now, he had risked his safety again.  They had a new threat hanging over them, that black cloud in the form of Enzo Leccese.

Heather’s Game Changers Cast Ranking/Analysis

My Absolute Faves:

1. SANDRA

Okay I can’t even describe how excited I am that Sandra is on this season. She’s my favourite survivor player ever and is the EPITOME of a game changer. Sandra delivers the perfect combination of strategy and entertainment for me and the survivor franchise should consider itself blessed that she agreed to return. As for her chances of going far, everything in me is saying she’s bound to be a premerge boot, but it’s queen changa! In pearl islands and heroes vs villains she was still screaming premerge boot but clearly we know how that turned out. I’m rooting for her above everyone else which is redundant to say when she’s already #1 on the list but... had to let that fact be known again.

2. TONY

I think I would say Tony is my third favourite survivor contestant ever (behind mother sandra ofc and Kim Spradlin). He’s crackedt out of his mind and it’s pure entertainment gold. I’m never not fascinated by trying to figure out the logic behind what Tony is doing. I don’t see how it would be possible for him to get far again sadly, but whatever happens I’m sure he’ll go out in a blaze of glory. Apparently he’s already been jumping out of bushes and whatnot at the pregame ponderosa like . .. . crackedt legends only.

Love these casting choices:

3. CIRIE

Cirie really did THAT strategically in Panama and Micronesia. Unlike the other two legends I already talked about, I do see a good chance of Cirie going far in the game again. I haven’t watched Micronesia or Panama recently (and I lowkey forgot what panama was and typed casaya for the season name while making this post), so I don’t have a crisp memory of everything she did, but..basically I remember that I stanned it. The only thing I’m concerned with is her rivalry with Sandra or whatever their relationship could be called. I’m not gonna lie; when I heard that she said Sandra didn’t deserve to win either of her seasons, I was....disgusted. Tbh. That doesn’t take anything away from the fact that Cirie’s gameplay was everything but girl...don’t come for Sandra like that.

4. ANDREA

Andrea has really grown on me since she first played. I don’t think I had much of an opinion on her in redemption island because I really didn’t care for anybody in the cast at all dfsndjfndsj but in Caramoan I liked her! She gives me constant conspiratorial vibes which I need to really STAN a survivor contestant. I just think she needs to fix her social game a bit because strategically I do think Andrea has the capability to win. Other than that I just enjoy her presence on my TV. I don’t think she’ll be targeted for a while by anyone but dumbfucks like Caleb or Brad for the same reason sexually deprived men usually target her *eyes emoji* so..yeah I have high hopes for her!

5. MICHAELA

I don’t think I appreciated Michaela enough while MvG was on (also because I missed a ton of episodes for school and had to binge watch the season in chunks of like five eps at a time). But Michaela has the makings of a legend - she gives me the blend of entertainment and strategy that I referred to in describing Sandra. A different blend than Sandra of course, but Michaela is a unique character in my mind, and I think if she can get past the barrier of being an unknown variable to the rest of the cast, she could do really well. I’m excited to watch her on the season regardless.

6. HALI

MUVVA! The ONLY good thing that I remember about W*rlds Ap*rt excluding Carolyn. Honestly half the reason I love Hali as much as I do is because she’s hot and that’s just the tea. Her weird analogies in confessionals and unintentional comic relief at tribals are great and I’m looking forward to them, as well as her renewed motivation to actually be a strategic force in the season. In worlds apart she at least TRIED to do something strategically, so now I’m hoping she can maybe tune her social game up a bit in order to be able to implement some of her schemes.

7. MALCOLM

Yeah I absolutely am thirsty for Malcolm. Sure am. Is that why he’s this high on the list? Britney_spears_crying_yeah.gif . SNkjdsfhjdskh I’m only half serious about that. Based on the pregame ET Canada interviews, I think his ego either got bigger or he’s just more comfortable showing it now that he’s played twice and feels like there’s less to prove, so I could see him being more of a villain this season than an underdog like his first two seasons. He is strategically adept, and I don’t think there’s a chance he could become someone’s goat and get super uninteresting, so all in all I’m happy he’s coming back.

8. JT

Ohh JT. If I remember correctly, he was the first person to play a perfect game and I think that makes him a game changer. What bumped him up in my rankings was the fact that in his interviews, his passion for the game is burning up like Russell’s hat in the fire. JT is NOT here to play games this season. I liked him in both Tocantins and HvV; I think he gives a level headed and still insightful perspective into the game, and in spite of him giving Russell that idol, I do think JT is one of the smartest people on this cast in terms of not only being able to come up with good strategic moves but being able to implement them. I agree with what he said in his interviews that people will more remember his blunder in HvV and extreme loyalty to Stephen over him winning and probably be more inclined to work with him, so I think JT could definitely make it far and maybe win again.

Happy with these casting choices:

9. ZEKE

Something about Zeke’s personality I’m drawn to. I wasn’t a humongous Zeke stan in MvG (because I was rooting for David’s side I’m sorry Zeke), but as the game went on, he went from initially annoying me because he looked too old to be on the milennial tribe to being really endearing and pleasant to watch. Maybe it’s recency bias but seeing him and Michaela going into this season for some reason feels like two new players being cast into a season of allstars, and automatically makes me want to root for the two of them.

10. TROYZAN

Let me take a minute and fasten my wig on before saying this but um..I like Troyzan. dnsjkgfhjkhd if you want to block me after that I understand. He pissed me off in One World of course because he tried to act like he could compare to the legendary Kim Spradlin when he clearly could not, but now that Kim isn’t here I think he might be more tolerable. He’s an independent thinker which is the main quality that makes me like Troyzan. It’s a mess that the main thing he’s remembered for is screaming “this is my island” at a group of women who then steamrolled over his corpse, but it at least proved that he’s not only extra and will add some drama to the show, but he will pave his own way strategically.

11. AUBRY

No one can deny that Aubry was a strategic force in Kaoh Rong. That’s the main reason that I’m happy that she’s returning because I think she definitely earned it with her level of gameplay. For some reason there’s a disconnect for me with Aubry that I hope this season will patch up and I’ll be able to fully stan her. She doesn’t have that quality for me that I love in players like Sandra, Tony and Cirie, where they are not only amazing strategically but also have that entertainment factor. In summary, I have no qualms with this casting choice, but I’m going to have to wait until the season starts to know whether I’m going to root for her or not.

Lowkey not doing it for me:

12. SIERRA

I remember really liking Sierra in W*rlds Ap*rt until the moment she rejected Hali’s plan, then let herself get dragged behind the likes of D*n F*ley and W*ll S*ms. That was just sad. Her only moment of redemption was voting for Carolyn at FTC, but it was too little too late for me. I still really like Sierra as a person, but for me to sit here and start saying I think she’s a game changer in any way would be a complete load of shit. I don’t see why Carolyn wasn’t given her spot, but she wasn’t, so I hope Sierra can really prove herself this season as a strategic player, because at this point I wouldn’t give her that label.

13. CIERA

I’ve seen enough of Ciera. I understand why she’s a game changer, and as such I understand why she’s on the season, but I’m just tired of her. I think it’s because of her political views that I just haven’t been able to reconcile. I really liked her on Blood vs Water and she was pretty good during Cambodia, but every time I think about her I just start thinking about how she’s a Republican and I’m like okay................ . . . .. um.... I can’t. I’ll know that I’ll never root for Ciera over the top nine people on this list, but I don’t HATE her, so if she goes as hard as she did at the end of Blood vs. Water I think I’ll end up liking her more. I think my opinion is also based on the fact that I don’t see where her storyline could develop from here on the show. Anyways.. I like? Ciera? At least somewhat? So..I think she will at the least deliver some quality conspiracies on the show.

14. TAI

I like Tai but the only thing I remember about him is him loving a chicken and him being very wishy washy at the end of KR. I could see him going far again for sure, but not on his own strategic merit; I think he could easily become the goat of a stronger player ie at least 80% of this cast. I mean if that has to happen I hope it’s Sandra :)) but yeah...in general...I don’t think he was THAT popular to merit a spot on this season in spite of not really being that great of a player. I’m sure he’ll have some other cute moments with animals and nature and whatnot so I’m looking forward to those I guess?

15. OZZY

Ozzy is the lowest person on my rankings that I would consider to be a game changer. The reason why he’s this low in spite of that is because I think even though he has changed the game, the game hasn’t changed him. He’s played THREE TIMES before this and I still get the sense that he’s going to use the exact same strategy this season...yikes. In South Pacific, he was being more strategic I think..but that may just have been because he felt like the leader of his tribe, so the narrative of the season centred around his thoughts for the tribe and his influence on the tribe. Were his ideas actually strategically sound? Not really, even though I think it’s good that he recognized that physicality was his biggest asset so he took advantage of that (referring to him getting himself voted out to go win duels on redemption island). At least Ozzy has gained some self awareness over ten years? Maybe? I hope so for his sake.

Yikes:

16. JEFF

I’m sorry but how is he a game changer. I can’t fully speak to Jeff’s abilities because I still haven’t watched Australian Outback but based on his game in Cambodia, he was serving some hot mess teas. He did deliver some entertainment like him calling Abi out at the challenge (or getting called out by her I lowkey dont remember), so my best hope for him is that he delivers some more of those. I could see him aligning with Sandra, so if that happens he will almost definitely shoot up in my rankings. As of now though, I don’t have any expectations for him. He’s at least not loathsome and completely deluded.

17. DEBBIE

I’m over Debbie’s shtick. I feel like she’s going to get herself embarrassed by the players this season who are ACTUALLY strategic. I think the reason she’s on this season is supposed to be for entertainment value, and in a regular cast filled with slightly more boring people that’s fine, but this is game changers. Everyone here is entertaining in their own right and Debbie is just annoying to me. Honestly she’s only above Sarah because I feel like she won’t last long and therefore I’ll have to deal with seeing her less and get less annoyed. If she targets players that I don’t like, maybe I’ll starting warming up to her and she’ll rise in my rankings, but for now I’m not hype about her.

18. SARAH

Girl. Her dealing with the Kass situation that resulted in her voteout was one of the most embarrassingly bad displays of strategy - or LACK OF strategy rather - in a minute on Survivor. Sarah really doesn’t entertain me at all and my impression of her from Cagayan leads me to believe she will probably not be that strategically adept. I’m in disbelief that she was even cast, like...really??? CBS couldn’t find anyone either more strategic or more entertaining than Sarah? damn. The one moment I can remember liking her was in Morgan’s ponderosa video when they were putting on makeup together because ok that was cute but it had literally nothing to do with the game. I could see her going far which annoys me even more because I wouldn’t want her to stay in the game over anyone higher on this list, maybe just Debbie. I hope Sarah can get it together this season because I’m almost done with her and the season hasn’t even started.

Good riddance:

19. BRAD

Brad is totally a game changer! He invented getting his wig torn off by Candice Cody and Marissa Peterson!! KWEENT Bread <3 God I can’t believe he’s on this season. Based on the previews, they’re going to try to give him a redemption arc of some kind which I’m already over. The good part about him is that I can’t see him winning even if he gets to the final three, so as long as a smarter player that I like can get control over him, I can support him being on the season as a meat shield. If Brad does manage to at least fake some humility and become a better player, good for him I guess. I just know it’s highly unlikely I’m going to end up rooting for him unless he targets the very last person on this list.

20. CALEB

Bye. Bye. Literally bye. Whose dick is Caleb sucking at CBS to not only get on survivor the first time after being a complete embarrassment on BB, but get to return?? ON A GAME CHANGERS SEASON?????? Mike Skupin got airlifted first and he did it in a literal blaze of glory so Caleb...hunty..please explain how you changed anything. His interviews are even more cringeworthy, with him saying dumb shit like “I’m just happy I can return so I can be a warrior for my tribe” GIRL......B Y E GO HOME!!!! Maybe he’ll become an actual game changer if he gets medevaced twice. That’s the only hope I have for his legacy.

That was nice. – Taylor Lautner • When you come across with a problem in your life, do not always try to solve it; make a long jump like a kangaroo and continue your way!

Who will remember how the bush once danced in rhythm with the thumping, jumping kangaroos who flew over fences their great tails drumming on the earth?
