Corroded Coffin is back with their sophomore album, Memento Mori Motel.

With even more groundbreaking songs than the last album, those four boys from Hawkins Indiana have transformed into men with a message and a cohesive vision—keeping fans of rock and metal mesmerized by their musical innovation that defies genre entirely. (@eddiemonth day 8: rockstar)

The opening track, Jack Of All, plays like an instant classic. The riffs are crisp and clear as they poke fun at both their newfound fame and rural roots. I’m climbing up the walls / You just don’t have the balls / I’m never gonna fall / ‘cause I’m the Jack of All. The second song, If I Object (Objectify), is all noise, with hardly even a second to breathe before the wailing cries at the end. The words if I object melt into the word objectify, closing out the song in a soaring scream.

Hit The Nail Out Of The Park is a thoughtful examination of American boyhood, without shying away from how ugly growing up can be. The tempo may be slower but the track has a grit to it that can’t be ignored. Six Feet Under continues to wow audiences as the lead single, comparing the slow death of a relationship to being buried alive. Daisies sprout overhead / In the thick of goodbye / Now it’s just me in a flowerbed / Eternally wondering why.

In the second half of the album, Necrotizing Facist Idol isn’t afraid to punch up with hard hits or make a political statement. The message is pretty clear in the chorus: He’s eaten away at too much of our lives / He’s going to pay for his sins when he dies / No time to wait / Let’s amputate / The necrotizing fascist idol. 24hr lobotomy is more of an internal struggle of self destructive tendencies, and the desire to numb any feeling at all—and ultimately crashing down to earth when the vices wear off.

Postcard From Hell is a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek vision of life after death, musing on the afterlife being not unlike a long, grueling vacation. The album ends on a tender yet bittersweet note, with the mysteriously titled Microscopic Fibers (Dying Star). The harmonizing guitars at the end is a standout moment as the song goes out with a bang, which turns into the whisper of the final notes. I can see your fire from light years through time / Like a star that died before it ever graced my eyes / Oh, slipping through my fingers (fingers, fingers) / Oh, how your presence lingers (lingers, lingers).

My cousin is like THE ultimate ally. Its funny too because people try misgendering him or try to be homophobic towards him but hes cishet so it doesnt work.

He's:

corrected people on my pronouns and tells anyone who tries to disagree to "shut the fuck up" at least five times

accepted me instantly.

Seemingly knew id end up being trans before i even came out

Went as far as to help me pick out a name

Took me to the store to get clothing

Bought me a binder

Punched a facist and broke the fuckers nose

He may or may not be an egg himself

Sinful Beasts characters

Eric (lust)

is enthusiastic about everything. Essentially imagine a teenage border collie. That's Eric. He can be rather naive and gullible, but actually is surprisingly book smart (thanks to going down wikipedia rabbit holes far too late at night)

Arthur (Gluttony)

Chilled out and cheerful, and tries to see the best in people (with one major exception). As a Gluttony Beast he has the power to eat anything he wants without negative consequences, so he basically survives off of cheap sweet baked stuff. Arthur likes fixing and building things, basically any hobby that keeps his hands busy

Reese (Greed)

Ah, yes. The afore-mentioned one exception. Reese is a cranky, gambling, hoarding adrenaline-junkie with a lot of ambition that is currently going nowhere. It's hard to move up in the world when you're an inhuman monster representing one of the seven sins, and that's a major factor in why he's so grumpy all the time. It's not hard to see why he clashes with Arthur so much.

Stevie (Sloth)

Unsurprisingly, Stevie is very lazy. When she isn't asleep, she often seems a little bit high, but she's actually just kind of like that. It's difficult to faze her and she very much has a 'go with the flow' sort of philosophy. Stevie's naturally good at thinking outside the box, which allows her to come up with handy ways to do as little as possible. She also has little sense of personal space and anyone who sits still for too long may find themselves being used as a pillow.

Colin (Envy)

Can come across as skittish or overly-cautious, but he's had a pretty tough past few years and he only just met everyone else, so he's got a good excuse. This causes people to coddle him a bit, even though he's a lot tougher than his... everything suggests. Just give him some time to adjust guys! Colin can turn invisible, but isn't good at controlling his power, so he often does it by accident when surprised, scared, embarrassed, etc. He also has big ol' puppy dog eyes that he is comically unaware of. 🥺

Lucille (Pride)

Unwitting mom friend. I don't know how she hasn't figured that out yet. She's confident, always trying to be helpful (even when it might not be needed) and maybe likes to stick her beak into other people's business a bit too much.

Kelsey (Wrath)

THIS MONSTER PUNCHES FACISTS. Or aspires to at least. They're very cautious about their temper, so they often do calming activities like gardening, yoga, or brooding dramatically on the roof of the house in the rain. You're not Batman Kelsey, I'm sorry.

[magicalrecall]

*talking about Steven in Pink Diamond's outfit* "I'm so happy that Steven is finally a magical girl!"

...hey, man. Don't go insulting magical girls like that.

I just need to vent a bit... so here's my list of things my dad has said that make me want to fly into the sun. This list is the last 2 months. I will update it as time goes on.

• Its not ok to punch Nazi and white supremacists

• Democrats are Nazis

• If he ever had sex with a trans women and found out she was trans after the fact he would kill her.

• Everyone wants sex. If you dont, or are not attracted to anyone, you are sick.

• Trans women are not really women and trans men are not real men. They can call themselves whatever they want but its all delusion. Top surgery should be banned.

• The LGBT community support Pedophilia.

• Refused to take the Covid 19 Vaccine because of Democrats and Faucci. (note: this is a summary of a 2hr rant)

• Trump is the best President we've ever had.

• IRS and CIA and FBI plotted against conservatives and Trump.

• Capitalism is Good and improving our quality of life.

• Herd Immunity is a Joke.

• The don't say gay bill is good. Chidren shouldn't be aware Trans/Nonbinary people exist and gay romance should only be known if someone they know has two dads/moms.

• Systemic Racism no longer exists in the U.S.

• Its ok to be racist to Indian call center employees and those whose main language is Spanish.

• Him not enforcing gender stereotypes on his children is why I am queer.

• He thought only Republicans voted for black and women rights to vote (note: he has since researched this. with assitance, and is now confused)

• Would "abort" a child after birth if it was "disabled enough"

• Roe v. Wade being overturned is a good thing.

• Socialists are a "Facist Regime."

• People in cities deserve less say than rural American because "they don't understand real life" Rural Votes should count at least 5x more.

• BLM and RoevWade protests are Riots and deserve to be violently put down.

• People working in minimum wage jobs don't deserve enough money to live because they aren't real jobs. They also don't deserve to have families.

• Screaming Dyke (derogatory) at his child anytime they cut their hair "too short" in order to bully them into keeping their hair long.

• January 6th insurrection is a lie made up but the "left"

• January 6th insurrection was a peaceful protest but "left wing facists" snuck in to make a fuss.

• Thinks being racist is funny because I react negatively to him saying racist things.

• Trans individuals should have their own sports league and not "destroy the dreams of real men and women by tainting or taking away their victories"

• Consent is only needed for sex.

Dear Freddie and Roger, if you had a holiday named after you, what would you want it to be about? What traditions or celebrations would people have? (I hope that makes sense.)

Freddie: Oh, that is a good question. A good question! 🤔

Roger: I'd want it to be National Punch-A-Facist Day. *nods* Exactly what it says on the tin.

Freddie: Goodness, what about making love, not war?

Roger: Well, yeah, but it's just one day in the year! A tiny bit of violence never hurt anyone. 😛

Freddie: *snorts with laughter* Well I, for one, would like my day to be a big celebration. The biggest party you can imagine, garlands and flowers everywhere. Flower garlands! A parade, with dancers throwing sweets and gold coins into the crowds!

Roger: Gold coins? Who's gonna pay for that?

Freddie: Me, obviously. I must be rich and famous since they're naming a holiday after me.

Roger: 😁 What are they naming it then?

Freddie: St Freddie's Day! There's roses, too. Of all colours.

Roger: Original. You're a saint as well, then?

Freddie: *shrugs* Might as well, in for a penny...

A little something for Rik Mayall day!!!

Rick Pratt meeting a younger version of my OC Amelia Chesterfield. She’s a bit more raw and mean here, but that’s because she’s not been through her internship which gave her the polished affect she has now.

“and it is....the welfare state..” She murmured walking back and forth throughout the laundry mat. Waiting for her clothes to get done. “....that has not only ....Hmm” she had a pencil in her hand, taping her chin.

She had brown hair that was neatly kept in place by a white hairband. A yellow cardigan and tight jeans were adorning her small frame.

She was writing in a notebook. She was no doubt a college student.

Rick Pratt was watching her. He heard a few sociology terms and it peaked his interest. He hadn’t seen a girly this pretty in a long time. He wanted to take in all of her, not disturb her.

“that has dismantled...” she snapped her fingers. “the very fabric of social morale. Sweet Mother Mary I am brilliant..” she said at a normal volume. Writing down what appeared to be a speech. She saw him out of the corner of her eye and raised a brow. Ignoring him she turned her nose up a little. She faced away from him and continued working.

Rick of course made a face of “ how dare you”. But took the time to glance at her bottom. Did he like girls? He must like girls. He was unsure at times. Maybe it was cause there weren’t many pretty ones that knew him...he liked how pretty this one was. She sounded smart too. Dare he speak to her?

“E-Excuse me. Miss-Girly...e-er Miss Woman..”He asked. She rolled her eyes. “ I’ll be done with this machine when the little buzzer goes off.” She said side glancing at him.

“No, no. I uhm... couldn’t help overhearing...what you’re w’orking on.” Rick said so eager to share his radical left poetry with her. “I’m Rick!...”

“Oh? You mean my debate points, defending the restrictions to the NHS? and my name is Amelia..”She grinned evilly.

Rick gasped. “....Tory!” He pointed at her.

“Guilty as charged. Now, why don’t you pick your jaw up off the floor. It’s probably the first bit of honest work you’ve ever done in your life.” She said getting back to work.

“Fine. You’re a Tory...a capitalist, a sycophant...but ...you’re still really pretty..and smart...And I can’t help but feel there is an undeniable chemistry between us. Maybe if I could talk to you and ...read you a bit of my poetry...you’d see that anarchism is the best way! What do you say?..” he grinned and leaned toward her a little.

She plucked one of his buttons off and stomped on it. Bending it so it could no longer be of use.

He just couldn’t believe it! All Tories were EVIL. How could she be this pretty and think such ugly thoughts?!

“...How can you support....her?! I mean you’re young like me!” He said pointing to himself.

“Yes. I’m young. But I’m not foolish. The only thing that anyone needs to worry about in this life is power and money. One day I’m going to have a lot of both and maybe one day you’ll...I don’t know...find a nice..ordinary existence bagging groceries at ASDA...” she gave a cruel laugh and Rick snatched her notebook from her.

“Hey! You BRUTE! Give that back!” She chased after him and Rick got on-top of a washer and held it over her head. She jumped repeatedly, trying to get it.

“I’ll give it back if you say.....I love Lenin! A-and I want Rick to snog me!!” He chuckled maliciously.

“...If you value breathing you’ll give it back! Now.” She stomped her foot, angrily.

“You’re rather cute when you’re angry..” Rick said. Raising his brows up and down at her.

She rather promptly punched him in the groin and he went down immediately. She took her notebook.

“Did I say breathing? I meant BREEDING.” She said taking her blue notebook back. Promptly walking away from him.

...

“So can I claim myself as a church..and a non-profit?” Rick heard Mike ask someone as he stumbled home. With his laundry. “Those bloody taxes are cutting into my profit margin..”

“Of course you can. You can then keep all the profit just as long as you have one parishioner.” Rick’s eyes went wide. No. It couldn’t be. He stormed into the kitchen.

“MICHEAL! How could you have let this FACIST into our home?!” Rick angrily said, pointing at her.

“Oh. Well she’s my date. She’s rather fit isn’t she?” Mike said looking at her. She seated at the table. She gave a calm wave at both of them. Smiling.

“Micheal. She’s a Tory, she’s evil, greedy and power hungry. How can you find her attractive?!” Rick said, looking at her.

“...Well. Look at er man. She’s a dime piece. Political party aside.” Mike waved back at her.

“...What’s the matter Rick? Jealous?...Oh but that’s all your sort knows isn’t it? Want want want but won’t do a THING about it.”

“...She’s got a point, Rick. You do a lot of complainin’ and don’t really seem to do anything about it..” Mike calmly said.

“A POINT?! Oh, you’re leaving. NOW.” Rick said acting like he was going to pull on her hair to drag her out. She smirked when he hesitated.

“What’s the matter?...Too afraid to abandon those principles of yours?..Go on then. Hurt little ol’ me..” she grinned evilly.

Rick whimpered.

“Hah. I bet you’ve never even touched a woman..” Amelia said. Bitingly. Walking toward him. Rick backed away from her.

“...He’s touched a few but they’ve never touched back..” Mike said.

“MICHEAL. I can handle this.” Rick said backing away from her putting his hands up.

“Now, Now ...Amelia. You’re in my home..let’s not do anything ...illegal..” he said as she forced him into a corner. He was frightened of this little woman.

“Here’s a bit of advice for you, Rick. Women, real women want a man who can BE something. Who isn’t afraid to take what he wants. No matter what it costs..Lying, cheating, stealing, even Murder! A woman needs a man who can do ALL of that. Do keep that in mind next time you make eyes at a girl at your next basement bound filthy socialists meeting..” she smirked at how scared he was.

She playfully kissed his cheek and slapped his other one.

He astonishedly held both of them and just looked at her.

“Alright, Mike. Lets go. I want to watch all the poor people try to sneak in their own candy at the cinema.” She chuckled and looked back at Rick before leaving. Mike unknowingly falling for her trap for her to report him for tax fraud so she could collect a nice fat reward. Thus beginning her career in blackmailing.

“Bye, Rick...” she turned to leave with Mike but turned around quickly to scare him. “BOO!” Before cackling as she walked out.

Rick shrieked and held himself.

“....She put her mouth on me...I basically had sex....with a conservative ...EUGH!!!! I can’t even brag about it..”

[llatimeria]

just had an interesting interaction on twitter

one of those kitty cat roleplay twitter accounts posted a pic of their cat w this caption

(cropping out the cat in question just in case they decide to delete the post)

and i was like. oh god no the fash have reached kitty cat roleplay twitter. that’s way too specific of a number to be random. if you look closely it even looks like someone whited over a “14″ in front of it but that might just be the crunched jpg aesthetic of the meme tbf (if you aren’t aware, 88 stands for “HH” [h being the 8th letter of the alphabet], which in turn stands for “heil hitler". 14 is a reference to “the 14 words”, an explicitly white supremacist slogan.)

except OP had an antifascist pfp and RT’d antifa stuff (and not in a completely hollow way either, like. actual action things, donation campaigns, etc, so i was doubtful of a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” situation) so I was like. OK good they’re not a nazi, but just to be safe I sent them a PM asking about it

turns out they had lifted the format from someone else, as one does with memes, and just hadn’t noticed the dogwhistle. they knew about it (so my explanation of it was redundant hffhjkdhfsf), but it just slipped their mind when making the meme. this kind of stuff can happen to the best of us, so i don’t fault them for it at all -- this is the point of dogwhistles; they are so subtle that they can fly under the radar of people who aren’t looking for them.

i’m not typically a fan of permanent ultra-vigilance about everything you consume due to the actually tiny chance there could be some random nazi shit in it because that’s just... an exhausting way to live (how many thousands of memes have i looked at today? this week? this year? and this is the only one I’ve seen with a dogwhistle in it that wasn’t already a meme by nazis for nazis only being spread by other nazis that i only saw as an example of “this is what a nazi meme looks like”? Seriously This Does Not Happen That Often, at least not to me) but . i just want people to be on their guard if they see memes like this one. if you’ve seen this specific format before, maybe let the posters know if they seem to be unaware, or unfollow them. just... keep an eye out. be mindful. fascists are people, people who can like cats and enjoy creating memes. but because facists are fucked up people, they weave their shitty little opinions into their content in the subtlest way possible. they know they’d get punched in the face if they were just openly like “heil hitler!”, so they cloak it in “HH” and then “88″. but make no mistake: they are still saying “heil hitler”. this stuff gets normal people to spread their message unknowingly, so nazis can find each other and build up networks. they’re also simultaneously drawing in normal folks with cute kitty cat memes, just random people who will follow their accounts for fun “wholesome” meme content, which can lead to people being slowly indoctrinated into nazism if they choose to stay in that corner of the internet for too long

idk how to end this post other than This Is Really Not Good Huh

Best of Marvel: Week of July 3rd, 2019

Best of this Week: Captain America and the Invaders  - Roy Thomas, Jerry Ordway, Jay David Ramos and Joe Caramagna

What better way to celebrate American Freedom than by having Captain America inspire us to keep the country safe from Facist, Authoritarian rule of the dirty Nazis?

Reuniting two of the co-creators of DCs All-Star Squadron, Captain America and the Invaders tells a one-shot story of an adventure in the Bahamas Triangle a short time before the team actually assembles. With fantastic art by Ordway and perfectly campy writing, this book captures the feel of both the 1940s books and the stellar 80s works that these two are famous for.

Beginning with Captain America, Steve Rogers, bursting through and interrupting a meeting of home grown Nazi-sympathizers, the book manages to set the stage for what the action and dialogue will be like for the entire issue. Captain America is certain of his every action, punching and jumping over obstacles to take down the bastards and when one tries to escape, Steve sets upon him with fervor as the FBI emerges to arrest the Nazis. Once they’re taken down, Cap gets his next assignment, Protection Detail for President Roosevelt as he meets the Duke of Windsor as he governs the Bahamas.

We get the background that the Duke stepped down as King at the request of Winston Churchill for getting too cosy with the Nazis after being guests in Germany. President Roosevelt hopes to sway them to America's side by offering them protection from Nazis. Ordway makes sure that everything looks absolutely of the time. Cars and some structures look exactly like they did in the 40s, however, the US Navy Sailor uniforms he and another sailor by the name of Jim Hammond wear for the undercover assignment, are not. Captain America himself looks very good in his original costume.

After a nasty storm, the President’s ship arrives on the island and not long after, he, The Duke and his wife are met by Baron Heinrich Zemo, the father of Helmut Zemo. Zemo takes everyone hostage as his men kill all of the Sailors protecting the President aside from one draped in the American flag and another who can become living fire. The Human Torch looks absolutely awesome “flaming on” to contrast the cloudy night sky. His flames are seen from the house and he proceeds to fly into the air and burn several Nazis alive. I’ve always loved the old look of a mostly naked Torch with bright oranges and yellows for the flame and his body with hatch lines for details.

As Zemo prepares to kill Roosevelt, the lights in the house turn off and a mysterious agent proceeds to knock out Zemos men while the Baron runs away. The rain picks up and Hammond’s flame goes out as other Nazis escape into a U-Boat. Rogers catches up to Zemo who uses a Death Ray of some sort to fight the American and is goaded into fighting in an enclosed space during the chase. Cap gets one good punch in, sending the Death Ray out of Zemos hands, causing the roof to fall on Caps head as Zemo makes his escape.

Cutting back to the escaping U-Boat, the Nazis think they’ve made the escape from America’s living flamethrower as their ship is torn through by an unknown assailant, Namor showing up to make sure that they didn’t get away. Cap and Hammond get back into their uniforms and make up stories about what happened to them during the night as they rejoin the protection detail with their flimsy excuses before musing to each other about meeting up again in the future.

This book was a fun little romp in a simpler time and definitely had less seriousness than the current Invaders series, but did have the heart given that Thomas co-created the team way back in 1969. It felt like he was slipping back into his old baseball glove and found that it still fit. Ordway’s art was well complimented by Ramos’ colors and looks amazing. I know he’d done some cover work recently, but his panel to panel art was certainly fantastic, like he hadn’t missed a step at all.

Flying the flag high and on Independence Eve ensures that this book is a must-read!

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

Well, this was wild, wacky and amazingly violent.

Runner Up: Savage Avengers #3 - Gerry Duggan, Mike Deodato Jr., Frank Martin and Travis Lanham

Gerry Duggan and Mike Deodato Jr. have come up with an absolutely fantastic story that’s full of brutal action, some cheeky comedy and remains true to every character involved up to a point. It pulls no punches and with Deodato’s amazing art, not only does it read well, but it looks damn good at the same time.

Starting off with a bang, we see Frank Castle tearing his way through Kulan Gath’s stronghold in the Savage Land looking for the bodies of his family. Of course Frank knows that it’s a trap, but never in his life has he let that stop him. With rage as his eyes, he tears through the Hand Ninjas, using a sniper rifle at close range and taking their own katanas to use against them. Suddenly, one of the ninjas puts a sai into the barrel of his weapon and he immediately recognizes them. Elektra has joined the fight.

Elektra seems to know of Kulan Gath’s plan to use the blood of warriors to summon something and she’s there to put a stop to it. She looks absolutely fierce back in her old gear, especially as she roundhouses and slices through Hand Ninjas while telling Castle to be careful as they make their way through the castle.

Meanwhile, Wolverine is captured by Gath and is suspended over his blood pit. Unfortunately for Logan, his healing ability only helps the evil Wizard as his blood only makes the plot come closer to fruition and Logan has an ever flowing amount of it. Soon after, Jericho, in the disguise of one of Gath’s students, tries to fool him. The Wizard sees through the ruse and gets stabbed in the chest, but given his sheer power, says that the insult hurts a lot more than the blade does and Jericho insults him by saying that’s not even worth Doctor Strange’s time.

Just as Gath is about to stab Jericho again, remarking that in his time he is the Sorcerer Supreme, he is shot right in the head by Castle. Gath makes Castle an offer to return his family to him alive in exchange for finding the thief who stole his amulet. Logan smirks and muses that the thief is long gone by now… only for him to return and threaten the Wizard. Conan is portrayed is a comedic man out of time and element in contrast to his own books where he is as serious as death and twice as deadly. Elektra frees Logan who collapses as he tries to stand and fight and Gath commands his forces to attack.

Conan picks up Logan and uses his still unsheathed claws as weapons as he swings the diminutive mutant around. Gath uses his magic to toss Logan into Elektra and runs his hand through the heart of Conan for the Amulet of Power and just as things are getting bleak, a certain symbiote attaches itself to the warrior as Gath summons his creature, Jhoatun Lau, The Marrow God.

Savage Avengers is shaping up to be the same kind of sleeper hit that Secret Avengers was back in 2012, especially while building Conan up to be a possible major player in future stories and hopefully in the upcoming Absolute Carnage event now that he’s had the Symbiote become part of him. The rest of this team itself is pretty good, fusing Castle and Logan’s rage with Jericho’s magic, Elektra’s skill and Conan’s cunning, this is definitely a book to keep watch of.

Epilogue Summary: Meat part 1 (1-25)

So this is just my notes as i read it, theres too much to condense it succinctly. It will be very spoilery, and is intended to be a summary of key plot points for those who don't wish to read it themselves but want to know what happens. I'll try to avoid explicitely triggering content but I'll probably still describe what happens so be aware. Ill still make another post when i finish it with my overall thoughts

Number is what chapter it is, dashes are separate observations within that chapter.

1. Weird graphic description of John fuckin voring the meat. Why

2. -Jane is a facist now and xenophobic?? Amd running for president of earth. Could yall not with the trump comparison

- "DAVE: in the world that mattered more, i mean like

DAVE: the one i belonged to that i used to imagine had a real future

DAVE: that didnt involve meteors or a fish dictator or the american political landscape turning into a nightmarish daily joke"

Oh sweet summer child

-A predominantly human government is responsible for trol population control??

3. John punches Aranea in the face

5. Im p sure Dirk is a facist now too? But like that "cool" edgy alt right reddit type

-He. Literally shoots Jake with a tranquiliser to shut him up

6. John rounds up the other kids from various points along the Game Over timeline and has some thoughts on how hes basically pupeteering these kids to their impending doom

7. Dirk has the same condition as Rose, which she reffers to as "ascending to her ultimate self". Hes not suffering as much because presumably the heart effect of understanding people is less taxing than lights understanding...everything

9. Yeah as expected john and co go to perform the masterpiece and get trapped in the juju for "quadrillions of years from your perspective" fuck you

10. -Firstly chapter from Jane's perspective and OH BOY she keeps making casual discrimatory remarks, pausing to ask herself if theyre discriminatory, and then concluding that they aren't. Oof.

-"And the consorts? Who had even given them the right to vote in the first place?" OOF.

-Confirms that the trolls are not immortal (by Jane basically saying she could wait for Karkat to die off)

-"the problematic nature of troll reproduction. The first generation of natural-born trolls obviously cannot be entrusted to a troll." excuse me what the fuck

11. The kids can talk to each other within the juju and hear whats happening outside.

-I think John has blackrom feels for Terezi?? And also voices he might actually be depressed

12. Okay this was actually p good its all dave and kk being rly gay but still acting surprised when massively horny jade calls them out. Also poly Jade heck yeah

13. VASKA. Immediately after unloading the Juju she gets hit with some debris and starts being pulled towards the black hole, at which point john &co escape the juju

14. Jane full on tries to seduce Jake for his support and its creeping me out

-?? It starts to describe a full on fuckin sex scene but before they do more than smooch and grope Jake starts fantasising about Dirk and excuses himself

15. Rose and Jade die, i think Meenah and Vriska too? And ghost Tavros. Davepeta shows up

-Johm gets vored??? Well almost, he ends up with englishes gold tooth in his ribs

-Dave stabs le then dies horribly (all of the death is p graphic)

-Davepeta dies, dragging le into the black hole with them

16. Rose muses that the 12 characters in Complacency of the Learned represent the 12 players that entered the new universe

-The condition rose and dirk have doesnt affect all god tiers, its linked to aspect

-Actually Rose and Dirk have some pretty interesting introspection here

-DIRK IS THE NARRATOR.

17. -The text is orange and Dirk addresses the reader direct- what the fuck

-He basically tears into the reader for voyuerism and speaks with the nost intense god complex ever seen in him

18. The furthest ring is destroyed

-Dirk as the narrator talks directly to John but like. Is mostly still just the narrator. It's weird.

-John finds his dads wallet

19. Dirk can read everyone except Roxy. Presumably because Void.

-Calli and rox are nonbinary and use neutral pronouns! Calli also talks about cherubs not really having gender

20. Oh John's Jade didnt die i guess. Earth C Jade passed out and this Jade got flashes of her memories

21. KANAYA. Also it legit didn't occur to me that they needed to raise the mother grub for years before it could perform troll reproduction. Durrr.

22. John finds Meenah and she steals the ring of life from him (he took it from aranea)

23. Uhhh. Dirk is basically fucking with Kanaya and trying to keep her from Rose?

24. John finds Terezi! But it cuts away again before literally anything happens

25. Dirk blocks Kanayas number in roses phone. Jesus fucking Christ

-oh sweet fuck hes talking about Kierkegaard

-Theres this really weird vibe of him talking about how smart he is and Rose calling him out in how hes just a dude whos read too much Wikipedia and i cant. Tell how ironic hes being

-He keeps talking about how hes in control of the narrative down to allowing her to react and its real fuckin creepy

-Huh...i guess hes showing Rose what happens in Candy. He doesnt describe it but talks about spoiling

-He...talks Rose into ascending to true godhood, i guess. To the point where her body would be dead if he wasnt doing something to keep it together

...yeah so far Dirk is a dick

Everything was just fine.

Sixth year exams had passed, and Remus had easily survived. James and Lily seemed to be pretty happy together, Peter had found a girl who seemed to like him back and was all silly in love with her. Even his own romantic issues were finally over - even though it was still hard to believe that Sirius actually loved him back, after three years of suffering and trying to hide it. And they were happy, and nothing else seemed to matter, like if all of them were going to live forever.

Plus, Remus had bought new earphones. He managed to get his Walkman to work in Hogwarts, and ever since he was unable to do absolutely anything or go anywhere without listening to his favourite songs.

The wolf boy was thinking exactly about how good it was to feel that peaceful with every aspect of his life for once, while listening to one of his favourite songs walking down an empty corridor after the last exams they had and he was one of the first students to leave the class, when he heard the steps behind him.

He knew who it was even before he could hear their voices, he could smell them from far away. Malfoy and his wicked followers always smelled bitter to Remus’ sensitive nose. If feelings could turn into smells, that’s what the weight at the bottom of his stomach he felt everytime those people approached them would smell.

Remus decided to just keep walking, even though he heard the steps getting closer more enthusiastically as the group captured his presence.

“Ooh look who’s alone” one of them said. “I was waiting for a moment like this.”

The other laughed.

“Seems like it’s Christmas again, lads!”

Remus pressed the button to increase the music’s volume in his pocket and kept walking, pretending he wasn’t aware of the others presence there and trying to focus on Freddie Mercury’s voice in his ears, hoping it was enough to keep them away. He wasn’t scared of them, of course not. Remus dealed with worse then a couple of facist prototypes like them every single month. He just really didn’t want to ruin what was so far being a great week, but the feeling in the back of his mind had already realised things were about to get ruined pretty fast.

He could feel their move against him, even not having heard it because of the volume of the song. Even so, it still caught him by surprise when his body was pushed against the cold wall so hardly he felt his cheek flesh break under the impact with the stone. One of his earphones fell off and he could hear the mix of voices, laughters and hard breaths around him, while one of them held his arms behind his back. He felt someone grab his wand off his robes pocket and heard its noise when it was thrown at the other side of the hallway.

“Maybe it’s not wise to be so hard on him Lucius, he might like it” it was Mulciber’s voice mocking in his ear, filed with satisfaction. The rest of them laughed as delighted as him. “I heard Lupin likes o be pinned against the wall by other men.”

“I’ve always known his face wasn’t the only thing wrong with him.”

They turned his body to face them and pushed his head against the wall, and Remus knew there was no use trying to fight them now. They were five against one, he didn’t have his wand and he knew the more he tried to fight the worst it would be. He could physically fight them, actually. He was stronger then them. Perks of being a dark creature and all. Except if he did that, they would immediately realise there was something way worse wrong with him than liking boys. So he had three options: either he a) killed them; b) beated the hell out of them and then obliviated them; or c) didn’t fight and waited for it to end.

The first option wasn’t really an option, as bad as the beast inside him liked the idea of a blood bath at that moment. The second one was too risky, it was too easy for a complicated spell like obliviate to slip out of control. So he really only had one choice.

They were having fun and all with all the torture options they had in front of them at that moment, but it changed when Dolohov saw one of Remus’ earphones still hanging from one of his ears.

“What the hell is this, you freak?” He mouthed, pulling out the earphones with his expression changing in a fraction of a second. He reached into Remus’ pocket and took his walkman, looking at it unbelieved. “Is that some muggle shit?”

“Woah, Lupin, you’re even sicker than I thought. That’s a whole new level of blood treason.”

All of a sudden, Dolohov’s hands were on Remus’ neck, pressing him so hard agains the wall he felt the air escaping his lungs, and he couldn’t get more air in. He gasped trying to reach for Dolohov’s arm but the slytherin pressed his wand to Remus’ face menacing to curse him. It was frightful for Remus to see how offended all of them actually felt by a simple muggle artifact.

“You dare to bring muggle trash into this school, you bloody scum?!”

As Dolohov’s hand around his neck tightened more each second, Remus had to resist harder to the urge of fighting, his body desperate for air. He started feeling dizzy and the tip of his fingers started tingling. He heard the noise of his walkman being thrown to the floor by one of them and being stepped on, cracking. Then, without a warning, the first stun came, straight to his stomach.

He was dropped off and collapsed to the ground, unable to breath still, because of the hex. Before he could even think of getting up they started hitting him. It wasn’t with magic, but with kicks and punches, to his chest and head and whole body, and it was way worse, because it wasn’t a simple mockery, it wasn’t simple cruelty without a reason, it was because of who he was and what he liked, and it took something really bad to get a wizard to physically hit someone without using magic. Every kick and every punch came with such anger and disgust that he could feel the hatred entering his skin and bones amongst with the pain.

Someone was holding him to the ground, as if he could try to escape even if he wasn’t being held.

“Get that, get that” he heard one of them say, and could se through the corner of his eye as Lucius took his earphones from the ground and hand it to the person who was holding him. He then felt when the person wrapped the earphone’s wire around his neck and pulled it so hard Remus felt his vision getting dark the same second.

He couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t scream, he was choking on the blood that filled his mouth and he was seconds from passing out, but ironically, his ears caught something amongst the quiet silence that felt like a slow death. It was Freddie Mercury’s voice comming out through the phones.

“you had your time,

you had the power,

you’ve yet to live your finest hour.

Radio…”

He could feel all the other four watch as one of them choked him on the ground for what felt like hours, until he heard someone say something similar to “that’s enough, mate.”

It finally stopped. He was still on the ground, barelly breathing, unaware of what the five guys around him were doing anymore, until the next thing he heard was petrificus totalus.

It didn’t change much, because he couldn’t move his body before, anyway. They dragged him to the corner of the corridor, behind an old statue, and left.

Remus could’ve fought. Even at the end, he still could’ve fought all four of them if he wanted to. He just chose not to, because it would’ve been an unfair fight either way, and that wasn’t who he was going to be, not on that day and not ever, even if he came to a moment where his life depended on that, even if things got so bad that he felt like he didn’t have a choice.

The bitterness of knowing that there was a war comming and that that is what it was going to look like hit him harder than any of those strokes.

So Remus just stood there, laying in his own blood, aching and paralyzed on the ground, waiting to be found. He knew that eventually someone would come for him, but it kept him thinking of how many people were going to be left like this in the future, knowing that no one was comming for them.

In the middle of the corridor, a few feets away, Freddie kept singing:

All we hear is

radio ga ga

radio goo goo

radio ga ga...
