ailesswhumptober day 6: multiple whumpees / self sacrifice / "i'm the only one who can do this"

chapter 6 / 7 of the memory of you marks everything i do | not rated, chose not to warn

chicago blends with new york, blurring his sense of time. waiting with childish excitement for a snowstorm only to wake to a blinding sunrise in LA was a sharp reminder that he needs keep a tighter lid on his personal wants.

he doesn't have wants. the only thing he has that's personal is his name. "jake lockley. yaakov zev ben…" he says to one of the many glass walls, flinching back at the reflection. 

how could he have been so stupid? 

"marc? what're you doing out here so early?" marlene asks, and just like that, jake's gone as if he was never there.

"hey," marc replies, turning around. "i was appreciating the view. it's beautiful, but it's got nothing on you." 

marlene's smile shines brighter than the sun, and the blush on her dimpled cheeks provides more warmth than the sun on his back. she welcomes marc easily into her arms and into their bed, and it's only when he tries to fall asleep at night that he remembers why he was really at the window. 

there's something about the wide panels of glass that induces a sort of meditative state, allowing him to access parts of himself, of his mind, via his reflections. it's all in his head, marc knows that - it's not like his reflections are moving around or talking without his input - but it's helpful for his…. condition. 

mirrors are too direct, he's learned, to try externalizing whatever internal crap is causing him headaches. the glass and the ocean beyond it are much better for soothing his racing mind. 

"you're thinking too loudly," marlene mutters. "wanna talk about it?"

"i don't know what it is," marc replies before he can properly consider marlene's question and offer. 

marlene yawns, turning over to face him. "you miss being out there, that much is obvious. camo or cape?"

"what?"

"you're more restless than usual. you keep looking for projects to do, for conspiracies to uncover, for something to fix. the uniform went away along with frenchie; none of the moon-themed gear has left the garage in weeks."

marc blinks at his wife in disbelief. now that she's voiced it, it makes a disturbing amount of sense, and an equally disturbing amount of nonsense. of course he misses jean-paul, but packing away their old fatigues was a practical matter, and of course he'd miss being moon knight, but he suited up just last night.

unless… 

"steven," he mutters, closing his eyes. "what have you done?"

"oh. you're back to playing the blame game, is that how it is?" marlene answers instead, and that hurts more than anything steven could've said. 

marc gets out of bed to wander around the house. it doesn't matter that he's naked and the walls are glass. it doesn't matter that it's cold and his legs lead him to the basement before his mind can get with the program. 

what matters is that it isn't steven leading the way. It isn't jake, either, leaving marc with an odd sensation of being actually alone for the first time in recent memory. 

"don't worry… you'll find a way to live with this." 

the voice echoes off the walls, reverberating in marc's head. 

there's no context for the words, nothing to clue him in to what they mean, yet marc's heart plummets into his stomach and his hands instinctively move to cover his ass. he doesn't know how long he spends standing like that in the basement apartment, doesn't know when steven decided it was time for them to leave, only that it's daylight again when he finds himself fully dressed and co-conscious with him in the gym.

LA blends with cairo, blurring his sense of space. being stationed there with the military had suited marc, which came as no surprise to anyone. what was surprising, however, was steven's cooperation and input into their new life, as well as jake's visceral disgust of it. 

marc excelled at the physical and intellectual aptitude tests. steven had latched onto the rules and routines, which gradually increased his tolerance for uncomfortable sensations. jake had tried to leave a few times, pushing back at the smallest of orders in an attempt to be written up for insubordination, but no such luck. rather than being dishonorably discharged, he had to work extra cleaning shifts in the kitchen, because he got stuck with the one CO who was slightly less rigid than his peers. 

right now, though, jake finds himself seated outdoors at a café across from jean-paul and another man. 

"is he okay?" the man asks, looking from jean-paul to jake. 

he's about to reply that frenchie looks as fine as ever when he realizes the man was asking about him. 

"never better," jake says, giving them a small smile. 

jean-paul, sharp as ever, clocks the expression as jake's. "rob works with active soldiers and veterans; he is familiar with the symptoms of flashbacks and was only asking after your safety."

"is that right?" jake stares at rob. there's no reason to suspect foul play, to think that frenchie would lead him here for anything nefarious, yet jake cannot bring himself to trust either of them. 

"my sincerest apologies." rob bows his head slightly. "perhaps it would be best if I let you two catch up. excuse me," he says as he stands. his hand lingers on jean-paul's shoulder for a while before he bends down to kiss his cheek, then walks across to the park across the street. 

so the doubt in his stomach wasn't doubt, after all, but something new - fear. he severely misjudged the relationship and their current situation, and he needs all the information he can get to fix things with his friend. 

"how long?"

"rob and i met - "

jake shakes his head. "not how long you've been with him. not that i'm not happy for you, i am, really. but i need to know how long it's been since you've seen me."

jean-paul lowers his head. "mon ami, perhaps this is not the place for such talk." 

"you mean this isn't the place for you to break some really bad news to me, right? c'mon, you know i can handle it." 

"but i cannot." jean-paul's voice breaks. "je suis vraiment désolé, mon ami."

cairo blends with london, blurring nothing and everything. he checks in with the bank accounts and flats he established for steven, with the storage units and weapons caches he established with marc, and by the end of a week or perhaps a month, lands steven a job at the museum. 

jake spends a night in steven's preferred flat, the one packed nearly wall to wall with books, after upgrading his wardrobe and removing out-of-date perishables from his cupboards. he tries calling marlene's numbers, personal and professional, to no avail. he starts accessing the TETRA system to see if moon knight could be useful before realizing how stupid that would be. he closes the laptop and stands in the shower until the water runs cold, and it doesn't occur to him until he's standing with a razor in front of the mirror that he is depressed.

jake isn't a proud man, yet he secretly prides himself on the ways he navigates the world and keeps their little family safe. it shouldn't be devastating to see the evidence all around him, the proof that he's no longer needed, but it is. marc has the instincts and intellect of a fighter, steven has the desire to learn and the drive to connect with everyone around him, and together they've spent the past decade being fine without him.

the small bathroom in london blurs with the master bathroom in new york, blending his loneliness with companionship. marlene sits on the counter beside the sink as he brushes his teeth. 

"you know," she says, swinging her legs. "it's been a while since we've done it. what do you think about going out tonight?"

jake lets himself slip back a bit into his head, leaving room for someone else to pick up on whatever marlene's put down. the last thing anyone needs is to read the room wrong and cause a fight. 

"i thought you didn't like being mister knight's assistant," steven replies, setting down the toothbrush. "that you wanted to 'be your own hero,' preferably with a better theme." 

"better suit," marlene corrects him. "i'm not vibing with the moon motif. and, unlike you, i'd prefer not to stand out as a walking target while trying to keep people safe."

"yeah, i can't argue with that. what did you have in mind for the future?"

marlene smiles, hopping off the counter. "now don't be mad," she starts, which only causes marc to work his way to the front. "but buck already made me this, and we took it for a test drive yesterday." she holds out a one-piece bodysuit that wouldn't look out of place on the black widow. 

marlene's suit is closer to purple than black, with a magnetic harness on the back for her escrima sticks and gauntlets for darts rather than widow's bites, and steven has to admit that buck has once again outdone himself. 

one night blurs into ten then to twenty, to one year then to two, blending their lives together. he finds himself sitting cross-legged on the back patio, staring at his reflection in the pool. 

"don't worry… you'll find a way to live with this," he mutters monotonously. 

except he does worry, all the time, and he's tried and tried and tried but jake can't live with the ghost haunting his mind any longer.

it's unfortunate, ironic, that the one job he's built for is the one he can no longer do. three and a half decades of compartmentalizing, of slowly absorbing all the crap surrounding marc and then steven until they becomes core parts of his being, will do that to a guy. the gears turning in his chest are a well-oiled machine, but the ones in his head rattle with thoughts he's not meant to have. or, rather, with thoughts about things like meaning and ownership and personhood. 

the only thing he has is his name, but that's not even his. marc and steven fluctuate on their relationship with elias, but more often than not view him as their father. moshe ben eliyahu. shimon ben eliyahu.

jake, however, doesn't share their views. he wasn't made for that sort of family, and no matter how much he's tried, his very nature is that of the devil. he's the bastard son of the worst scum of the earth.

yaakov ben yitzchak. 

nothing more than an extension of the monster that made him.

"you'll find a way to live with this, yaakov," he tells his watery reflection. "you always have."

marc's got steven, and steven's got marc, even if they're not entirely aware of each other at the moment. they've both got vigilante aspects and a network of friends and colleagues.

jake's known himself, known them all for long enough to know that letting himself do this will be best for everyone. marc and steven have got their own systems worked out - routines and methods of everyday life, not their collective system - and jake's part of playing maintenance is no longer required. 

it shouldn't be devastating to find out that he's not meant for this part of their life, yet it eats away at jake's heart. 

with the foolish hope that he isn't dooming his family, jake closes his eyes and drifts into nothingness.

Dumping Sampo hcs because he makes me sick

Genderfluid. Feel like this one’s a no brainer for Sampo fans but still. No one can take this one away from me

Aroace. I may enjoy lots of Sampo ships but in cannon he’s aroace to me idc what anyone says

His pupils turn into slits when he’s pissed off (snake symbolism yk)

Sharp canines because I saw way too much Sampo fanart with this and now I can’t unsee the sharp teeth

Shapeshifter like Sparkle

Has another persona that is part of the dark-blue victim alliance (his hate club). He makes money from selling the anti-scam guide depicting various of his (outdated) scams.

Has a thing for mechanical stuff. He builds his own bombs, fixed the TV in Rivet Town by himself (which I actually think is cannon) and sometimes tried to fix random junk he finds

Motorbike somewhat similar to the one on his phone case. Does NOT pass safety regulations

Has a run-down house somewhere in the snow plains where no one can find him. Stuffed with maps, supplies like food or medicine and mechanical parts

Made maps detailing silvermane patrol routes, tunnels, etc- also notes where he writes down stuff he found out about the planet that may be useful in the future

Above average body temperature, has some weird outworlder stuff like the trailblazers going on where he doesn’t get cold so easily

Doesn’t like sweets. He really wants to, still eats candy every now and then , but everytime it just tastes disgusting

His voice isn’t naturally that high, he just spend years trying to change it

He used to rob banks on other planets but resorted to scamming in Belobog because the security systems are just so shitty and outdated it takes away all the fun

Some sort of parental figure for Hook. He’s one of the few people allowed to refer to her as just “Hook”, but decides to call her by her full title anyway

Prom Night (1980) is one of six horror films in which Jamie Lee Curtis appeared over a three-year span from 1978 to 1981 and the last covered by the Grue-Crew. Three John Carpenter films (Halloween, The Fog, Halloween II) and Prom Night are joined by Road Games and Terror Train. 

Prom Night is not the best of Curtis’s 1978-1981 six-pack of horror movies (does that go without saying?), but is it the worst? Leslie Nielsen, soon to go through his transformation to a standout comedic actor, has little to do as Curtis’s character’s father and the school’s principal. There’s also the student body providing fodder for the killer, the creepy kids that set the whole thing in motion fifteen years earlier, and athe disco music and dancing. Don’t worry. The Grue Crew will give you the straight poop.

At the time of this writing, Prom Night is available to stream from Shudder, Amazon Prime, Peacock, Hoopla, Kanopy, Tubi, PlutoTV, and Freevee. It is also available on physical media as a Blu-ray formatted disc from Synapse Films. 

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Chad, will be Ghost Story (1981), based on Peter Straub’s 1979 novel! The Grue-Crew has been wanting to do this one for a long time! If you heard them announce Without Warning (1980) on the podcast, they apologize for the change, but it is on the schedule for November. Be patient, fellow babies.

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the Gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the Gruesome Magazine website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at feedback@gruesomemagazine.com.

The Sarah Silverman Program Has Gigantic, Orange Gays

“Muffin’ Man” (March 1, 2007)

You know what’s super complicated? The Sarah Silverman Program. It’s funny, but just talking about why it’s funny in 2023 necessitates a lot of discussion of controversial topics including but not limited to ironic racism, straight dudes playing gay characters, January 6 and several people who are now canceled. Nonetheless, Drew (and not Glen, because Glen is not in this episode) is joined by Henry Gilbert to discuss why this show’s queer representation was novel and still should be important all these years later.

And yes, if you’re like “I could swear that Drew said this week would be Seinfeld,” you are correct; that episode will now be coming next week. Stay tuned!

Did you know that Henry also has a podcast? It’s called Talking Simpsons, and it’s a lot like GEE just specifically about The Simpsons. 

Watch Glen's episode of Ninjago: Dragons Rising, now streaming on Netflix! And if you're not sure what a Ninjago is, watch Ninjago Decoded, Glen's video series that explains the history of the Ninjago TV show.

Sampo, how much would it take for you to provide certain services?

Exaggeration, a key element in any performer's repertoire; a hum too theatrical, too contemplative. With such a pronounced emphasis, who wouldn't know the underlying messages being conveyed? Even if there isn't breath biting at your ear, even if there isn't a whisper — nevertheless, a few tap-tap-taps against his chin spell one thing: nonchalance.

“'Ole Sampo works a lot of magic! A 'lil pinch here, a dash there... it'll take a teeensy bit more info to get my old brain jogged. If intel's what you're jonesing for, I've got intel pourin' out my ears! Depends on what, though -- little miss Supreme Guardian? Got loads to spill about her, all of which would get her in a tizzy. How about that doctor lady, madam Natasha? Seems she's got some skeletons in her closet, and not of the anatomical model kind. Or, if you're feeling spicy, how's about some detail involving those, ah, Trailblazers as they call themselves? -- Your pal Sampo can't help you there, that group's got more mysteries than Sampo's got hands.

I've got plenty of the boring, fineprint stuff too... the payroll for every Silvermane Guard, what your tax money is being spent on, who robbed that sweet old woman down the street... but, you didn't come for any of that stuff, did you? -- Sampo Koski's a smart cookie! I've got the ears, nose, and hands for this sort of thing.”

A lean downward, impersonal however intimate all the same: quiet words meant for a singular pair of ears.

“I've gotta' tell you, though. That'll run you a couple hundred more. I'm all for a little fun here and there, these old bones are more agile than they look, but: business before pleasure, as they say... and I have a very tight schedule. So: name your price, sweetheart, and I'll give you some insider info.”
