#rol playing monster

[neonrockingvisuals]

If I´m not mistaken, I think I did this mimic monster way back in 2019 for an Inktober and I never really published it in colors. So I decided to rescue it and put some upgraded NeonRocking coloring on it and I liked the final result very much. I gotta thank the Beast Wreck guys and their newer beholder design for inspiration. Ok guys, enjoy!

RIP MARTY KROFFT 

1937-2023

Marty Krofft was born on April 9, 1937 in Montréal, Québec, Canada. With his brother Sid, Krofft created some of television's most fantastic and magical programs, mostly centered around puppetry. Lucille Ball's interaction with the Krofft was brief, but memorable.

The Krofft puppets first gained attention at the 1962 Seattle Worlds Fair where they presented a show called "Les Poupees de Paris" that included marionettes impersonating popular celebrities. In 1964-1965, they presented the (updated) show at the Worlds Fair in New York. In 1967, Ball's recorded voice, along with Jackie Gleason, Liberace, and Mae West and many other stars, was heard in “Six Flags presents Sid and Marty Krofft’s Circus”.

On September 30, 1977, Donny and Marie welcomed Lucille Ball, who plays the Tin Lady in a Krofft-style spoof of “The Wizard of Oz” starring Ray Bolger. The first three seasons of "The Donny & Marie Show" were produced by the Kroffts, who also created the variety series. Ball appeared on the 2nd episode of the show's 3rd season, and the Osmonds (after a long legal battle) had finally won creative control from the Kroffts feeling they had outgrown the child-like atmosphere created by them. They moved the show to Utah and took over as producers just two months after this episode aired. In this episode, however, the Krofft vibe is still palpably present.

A few Lucille Ball / Desilu performers were seen on Krofft's many television shows.

Johnny Silver played Ludicrous Lion on TV's "H.R. Pufnstuf" (1969) and appeared as Dr. Blinky in the 1970 feature film.

Charles Nelson Reilly and Jerry Maren (both seen on "Here's Lucy") were part of "Lidsville" (1971).

1972's telefilm "Fol-De-Rol" (a film of their 1968 fairy tale puppet show) included Lucy guest stars Ann Sothern, Mickey Rooney, and Totie Fields.

"Sigmund and the Sea Monsters" (1972) starred Ball's good friend Mary Wickes as Aunt Zelda, and also featured Sidney Miller as the voice of Sweet Mama Ooze.

"The Lost Saucer" (1975) included Lucy friends Ruth Buzzi, Jim Nabors, and Vito Scotti.

"Far Out Space Nuts" (1975) featured Hal Smith and John Carradine, both of whom had appeared on "The Lucy Show."

Also seen on "Donny & Marie" during the Krofft years were Desi Arnaz, Jack Albertson, Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Ruth Buzzi, Buddy Hackett, Edgar Bergen, Andy Griffith, Rich Little, Iron Eyes Cody, Arthur Godfrey, and Vincent Price.

FOOLS Fall - Chapter 14 - Part 1

BOOK TWO: The 'Fools Fall in Love' Trilogy

*Warning Adult Content*

Noah Wright

I had to wait in line for a good ten minutes before I was able to get into the bathroom but of course as soon as I got in there 'it was nasty in there but I only had to piss, so it was whatever' someone fucking knocked on there door, jiggling the handle.

I told them it was occupied and they must've left.

When I exited the bathroom, I turned the corner and almost ran into someone.

"Were you the one banging on the bathroom door?" I questioned the girl who almost spilled their drink on me if I hadn't stopped.

"That was probably a ghost," Ciera deadpanned, then took a sip of her drink.

"Ha. Ha. That's really funny," my sardonic tone was just as stale as hers.

Ciera nodded her head to the right and gestured with her cup in the same direction.

I followed her gaze and saw someone with a white sheet over them as a makeshift ghost costume.

I looked back a Ciera and rolled my eyes.

Then someone else going up the stairs caught my eye.

Dinah and that random guy from the garage, heading up the stairs while holding hands.

"So, what's the deal with Dinah and Jude?" I asked Ciera, turning back to her.

Ciera shrugged, drinking her beer before answering...

"They're weird, I don't know. They both fuck around with different people. Apparently, Jude and Dinah are looking for someone new, if you know what I mean."

"Hmm."

No, I actually didn't know what Ciera meant.

I mean, I guessed she meant they were looking to date other people and end their relationship but I was wrong.

"I could never be in an open relationship. I'd get too jealous. Especially knowing someone else was with Sam."

"Who knew you were such simp. That's adorable," but Ciera was being sarcastic with her bored, brown eyes.

"Oh, I know deep down you're the biggest simp of all, don't kid yourself."

Ciera scoffed.

"Go be with your boyfriend, I'm pretty sure he's shaking in his fake dog tail right now from how scared he is without you."

I shook my head and moved past her.

"Always a pleasure chatting with you," I told her with a dry voice and I moved through the crowd.

A remix to the song, Monster Mash was sounding through the speakers and the strobe lights were flashing more heavily than when I first entered the house.

Moving towards the garage, a drunk as fuck girl dressed in a slutty nurse costume, bumped into me, spilling their alcohol all over my bare chest.

"Of fucking course," I said because getting some form of liquid spilled on me seems to be something I'm notorious for in the past year and a half.

Slutty Nurse didn't act that apologetic as her hands went all over me and she slurred.

"We can go to bedroom an we can clean you up," she offered in her drunk state.

My nose scrunched up in disgust.

"Yeah, I think the fuck not," I told her harshly as I pushed past her towards the kitchen to hopefully find a dish towel or napkins to clean off the drink 'it was the spiked punch, just my fucking luck'.

I found a roll of paper towels which were almost out.

Tearing off strips of it, I went to the faucet to get them a little wet before wiping the sticky drink off my chest and stomach.

That's when Ciera and Alice walked into the kitchen.

"Someone took one look at you and your shitty costume and dumped their drink on you?" Ciera questioned with a smirk.

Alice chuckled and I just flipped Ciera off.

Then to Alice I asked...

"I thought you were playing foosball with Sam?"

"Nah, he left," she shrugged, taking a slice of cheese pizza from the numerous stacks of pizza boxes that someone who worked at Domino's brought in.

At least I assumed considering the guy in a Domino's uniform was also in the kitchen laughing with his friends and eating pizza.

"Where'd he go?" I asked, already looking around to see if I could spot the five foot, nine boy with puppy ears.

I didn't see him.

"No need to panic, Noah, your puppy will be fine," Ciera spoke with the roll of her eyes.

"He probably went to the bathroom, he'll go back to the garage, I'm sure."

"You don't know Sam when he's drunk," I commented but figured Ciera was right.

Plus, I didn't need to go searching for him.

If Sam did go back to the garage and realized I hadn't returned, I knew he'd freak out.

So I threw away the paper towels and headed back to the garage.

Kyle was in there when I walked in.

He was rolling up another joint.

Jesus Christ, he was already stoned out of his mind, he had to be.

He nodded at me as a greeting and I nodded back.

I was about to take a seat when the garage door swung open and in stumbled my boyfriend.

"Noah," Sam exclaimed as I stood up and Jude came up right behind him, a hand placed on Sam's shoulder.

"Look who I found looking like a lost puppy," Jude laughed but I sighed in relief.

I was worried Sam would get lost in the house and I'd find him passed out somewhere with sharpie drawings on his beautiful face.

"I knew I had to get him back to you."

Sam dismissed himself from Jude's hold and almost fell, so I reached out and grabbed his hand to tug him to me.

"Dumb-ass, where were you? I leave for five minutes and you're gone?" I asked, sitting us both down.

Jude took a seat next to me and stole the joint from Kyle.

"I didn't know where you were."

Sam had another drink in his hand, so I took it from him at set it on the table.

"Maybe switch to water," I suggested as I stood up to go to the fridge and thank God there were water bottles in there.

I grabbed one and brought it back to Sam as I sat down.

He took it silently without arguing.

We should probably leave soon, I thought but then I got sucked into a conversation with Jude and even Ciera and Alice when they came back to the garage.

Until Sam stood up 'wobbling a bit' and took my hand.

"We'll be right back," he told the group, pulling me off the futon with him.

Demons Unleashed ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Gaiden Finale (4/10) ~

[Underground Channel - Caves Area]

Inky Albarn : [chuckles while looking at the White Pure Heart] Finders Keepers, now that I have this in my hand. I look forward into being more consecutive with this prized possession from that girl who went missing over a year ago. It's no wonder that the stinkin' Ohkuboverse was really a hoax or it was erased that ceased to exist, nothing matters that whether Meister girl is in my way or out of way. I can't wait to see my son's face when he hears about bringing me this object.

*MGS SFX : Exclamation*

Inky Albarn : !? (draws her scythe) Who goes there! Stop playing around! I'm getting really tired of you kids wandering around, and I do not like to repeat myself! So stop pissing me off! Well...?

[suddenly nobody around is here]

Inky Albarn : Gee. I thought there would be kids around here.

[suddenly the platform begins to move]

Inky Albarn : Oh great! The Platform started move!

*DE ROL LE ROARING*

[From Seeing the Rough Wave - Fumie Kumatani]

Inky Albarn : What!? Who's there!?

*SPLASH!*

Inky Albarn : [in disgust] Ugh! What is that ugly thing?

"DE ROL LE : CRAWLER OF THE CAVES"

Inky Albarn : Oh Great! How am I supposed to fight against a monster like that in the caves? Guess I need to solo this one for myself.

Kireek : Allow me.

Inky Albarn : Uhh, pardon me, sir. You sure you can easily solo this?

Kireek : [to Inky] As much as you like.

Inky Albarn : [looks at his Soul Eater Scythe] *in mind* So that's the original Soul Eater, a name of a partisan owned by an NPC.

Kireek : Come, let us defeat this monstrosity!

Inky Albarn : I'm all ears on this one!

[battle begins]

Inky Albarn : So you're Soul Eater's wielder?

Kireek : Yeah, and you are not Soul Eater's wielder, a regular scythe wielder would more be appreciative than you think.

Inky Albarn : Yeah, no doubt about it! You're the NPC who knows about Soul Eater.

Kireek : I know it, it's my trademark weapon of a Black Hound, some man took the name for it's granted while I kept it back from ever stealing the name Soul Eater from me. With our name Soul Eater back to where it belongs, we will able to clean up Square Enix's messes.

Inky Albarn : Gotcha, I always knew that you would come up with a plan on making that Meister girl to wake up to reality. Some say that she's the Ohkuboverse's second destroyer, and that was her own fault.

Kireek : Right now, it's her's that needs to worried about, but we need to focus on our strategies of wielding scythes! You got a part to be in...

Inky Albarn : And you'll got a part to play in. It's two against one. Hope you're winging it for some action with that scythe, but I only like those who carries a huge ass sword. Sword wielders are not even my type, or perhaps, I prefer gun wielders.

Kireek : You tell me, that's what being a hero of the story is all about! Any person can become part of their story shall follow the hero's progress and making their goal that will be the end of his or her tale.

Inky Albarn : I thought so! Heads or Tails, which shall the hero choose the choices to be difficult, will he or she rescue a friend from the hands of another villain, or will the hero will sacrifice a friend to save the world. Guess heroes like them had to suffer, if anyone's gone, nobody would able to tease anyone or anybody no more.

Kireek : I'd like that in favor!

Inky Albarn : So basically Dark Fantasy world are mixture of Fantasy and Lovecraftian, that's why Dark Fantasy was invented in the country called America.

Kireek : Basically, so you knew all about that stuff that the Ohkuboverse like Soul Eater's was not even really a universe, but the same universe as Shinra's World and Maka's world that was erased in half, in which Maka became the second destroyer on erasing the remaining half of the universe by waking up to reality.

Inky Albarn : I won't forget that. (Deafeats De Rol Le with one strike, causing the creature to roar in pain and sinks into the water) Heh. Guess that's done.

Kireek : So on the contrary, what did you mean she had anything on erasing the universe?

Inky Albarn : That's their solution, it's about getting into character whether the hero had to suffer on the choices of being in a dark fantasy story, so I guess that Meister Girl had to push her mind into becoming the only hero to ever exist. It's not like we had that terms of dark fantasy cold-blooded heartless beings driven with greed, corruption, power that Maka has ever faced with all that valor in heart, villains like that pitiful soul world in her head aren't foolish enough to destroy one's world while the other is real to her. There's no point in battling the greater goods on whether the story of her life is true or false, that's her way being a hero to all of the universe.

Kireek : Your good is guess as mine, means we're on the same side of the coin, you have a good redemption on being your self, what was your purpose on saving a meister from being victim to the true villain?

Inky Albarn : I'm only to make one thing to ever draw their last breath, taking back from what is mine, and I will get the job done, No evildoer shall get in my way. It's time for me that I'm going to spoil the evils for myself.

"Meanwhile..."

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Oh man! It's always tough of being alone, Nightshade Hibana. Why am I the only girl who doesn't know about what's right or what's wrong? You think that I'll ever fall in love with someone that I even care about? I mean Black Star can be a funny person, but the one that I really prefer is Kazuki Kurosaki, or known as Kuroshima, that's the name of the clan that really saved a real-world village from the clutches of the Heartless Shadow Star. Black Star wasn't taken in by the DWMA, he was one of them and I had to discover the truth.

Hibana : Same thing here, kid. Hey, how about I'll give you some ice cream as a treat from the way back?

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Sounds good to me! I've always wanted a treat for myself, I could just go on my business and get a little something something that will make things right. It's too bad that Black Star isn't here, I'm glad that I surely found myself alone.

Hibana : Hold it.

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : There's someone in the way. Hey, stranger. You got a death wish or something?

Hibana : Allow me to do the talking for you. Hey, punk! Get out of our way! Are you deaf or something, is that what you think? I said get out of our--(the person unhoods himself revealing to be Black Star) !?

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : !?

*DBZ SFX : Shock*

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : B...Black Star. Where...Where have you been?

Black Star : Tsubaki...listen to me. My whole gosh darn life was a wreck, I found out that who literally killed the clan of my own, it wasn't the school that killed the clan, it was someone else's clan that killed them. I realized that the swordsman Mifune was a Detective working for them, but I'm the swordsman that I ever wanted to be, I had been nothing more than puppet to the devil's will. The school itself would be part of World Heroes Force Organization and for me, I'm just a kid who was outcasted.

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Black Star, I know that the school didn't killed your clan, but I know who did it to save that village. It's Kazuki's, I never thought that I would find out that my heart belongs to another man.

Hibana : you've got a lot of issues for being a wound up hero, kid. Today's not your day.

Black Star : Kazuki? How did you know about Kazuki?

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Because Black Star, well...Kazuki was the man that I loved back about over a year ago. We've known each other and he became something that I loved the most, he was my everything before I even met you, a tool that to think that I would fall in love for someone who lived in darkness, I only wanted someone to fall in love with me, but I didn't forget of what happened to you. You were gone for a year, I would bring myself to the Yakuza or any leeches that scourge throughout society, if the school would think they brought to you to think that you would be hero of the story, but sorry, I'm not gonna take my title elsewhere besides you, I'm the newest of the Swordsmanship, you have no title, you lost everything dearly to me and I would forget that I would even trust a nosy hero like your attitude, but don't forget, Kazuki is the man love and no way that you're gonna bring me back with that attitude of that yours! Why would you think that I wanna fall in love with you to think that you were the man that I thought you are.

Black Star : Because...I was jealous, jealous because of Kazuki, that guy was your lover and I had make you win back by becoming a an assassin working for the kid named Shotaro, the Dokeshi who went missing during the investgation of unveiling the secrets of Soul Eater. He was only trying to uncover the truth and exposes for the lies that we caused! I...I never thought that the kid was only trying to help uncover Soul World's lies and for me, I've been a dirty liar, Tsubaki! I've always been under the influence of Shinra Kusakabe, that devil douche fooled me into making me the hero that I was!

Hibana : Shotaro the Dokeshi? Wait, that kid who created the Demon Weapons? He was opposing as Shinigami the entire time and why didn't you tell us the truth before!?

Black Star : Stubborness! We meisters and weapons are filled with stubborness because of the boy who created our world, turns out be a bigger liar! Lies, lies, all lies! Do you know what it's like to live in the shadows as an outcast? I spent my whole lifespan just to protect that stupid legacy all because of Shinra's worthiness, if it hadn't been for our author none of this would happened if Soul World never existed in the first place! What's becoming of this world means that...

*Heartbeat echoing*

Tsubak Nakatsukasa : Ngh!...? I don't feel anything from my heart, neither the soul, was I always felt this way before?

Black Star : (in agony) RRRAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAA!!!

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Oh God...! Black Star!

[DMMD BGM10 Plays]

Hibana : Hey, what in the sweet hell is wrong with you, Kid!?

Black Star : I HATE SHINRA! I HATE SHINRA! (starts scratching his head) I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE! HATE!

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Black Star, was is even happening to you? It's like your not yourself anymore! Does this mean that I broken your heart it's because of Shinra wasn't it?

Hibana : My god! This gotta stop now!

*Heartbeat echoing*

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Guh! Go...Gomene...Kazuki.

Kazuki's voice : Tsubaki-san.

(voices of Tsubaki's friends saying her name are heard)

Tsubaki Nakatsuaksa : Everyone, Gomenasai! Everything we believed in was a lie, I was the one who should be telling the truth, where did it all began, where did it all go wrong, what was the purpose of being a hero of my own story?

Black Star : (grunting+yelling in agony)

Hibana : He's not himself anymore, he's a lost cause to think that something or somehow must've made him to be overprotective to the legacy. That it's! The Devil's influence, it must've overdid it to him, that's why he's screaming in agonizing pain like that! The Devil had been Soul Eater's true creator!

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Devil? As in "Shinra Kusakabe"?

Hibana : I'm afraid so.

Black Stare : Shinra must die...Shinra needs death...Shinra...must ...have...!

*images flashing*

Black Star : (screams in agony) HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!

*DBZ Sfx : Energy Wave*

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Black Star!

Black Star : ....*DBZ SFX : Collapse*

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : Oi, Black Star! What happened!? Black Star!?

Hibana : (checks on his body) He's not breathing, all of his vitals had been dropped to zero, and no pulse. It looks like he lost his own heart and soul just for the sake of protecting the legacy and not you. The only reason that you fell in love with him, it's because of the legacy that you were protecting. Someone's using these youths to protect the legacy that was hidden inside the planet's core! That Shinigami person wasn't a friendly reaper at all, it was some kind heartless jerk that is the real Lord Death.

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : BLACK STAAAAAR!!!

"Those Who loses their heart and souls shall might die."

"Those who succumb to the darkness shall be gone."

"Now who's the biggest fool in the entire world now?"

"Always prepare for another humiliation of one's life."

"Regret that the ones who suffered has already enough."

When you look at yourself, are you a man or a monster?

𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: Xavier ‘X’ Ramzi 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 & 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐒: cis man & he/him    𝐀𝐆𝐄: 37 𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:  district attorney 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:  Sinful Ones 𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊:  SGT. at arms   𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌:  Zeeko Zaki

TW: DEATH THREAT

Perfection. It means something different to everyone, but to Odion and Zahra, they found it in their first and only child, Xavier Ramzi. Having left Alexandria with nothing more than the clothes on their back, his parents found refuge in New Jersey amongst a group of people who had wanted to do the same thing as them. His mother, nearly eight months pregnant at the time, went into labor weeks earlier than expected due to stress of the traveling. Despite the early surprise, Xavier was a perfectly healthy baby boy.

By the time he was one, his parents had settled in seamlessly. His father had fallen into a group of skilled labor workers and his mother worked at a bakery close to the family home. It wasn’t anything big, but it was more than enough for the three member household and that belief never changed. He saw how hard his parents worked to give him the life they’d wanted for him, and he repaid that by putting his everything into those same dreams. 

Growing up, while other kids his age were playing with fire and seeing just how much trouble they could get away with, Xavier was focused on his studies. He was disciplined to the point his parents all but begged him to have a little fun. There was no room for that. Not when they’d given up everything for him. So, he kept his head down and to no one’s surprise, he graduated at the top of his class. His grades, combined with his persuasive essays, were enough to get him into NYU’s undergraduate program for law. It was there that his true passion burned bright. He could argue amongst the best and although his parents weren’t wealthy and he wasn’t of legacy law blood, that didn’t matter. 

When it came time for law school, it shocked everyone when he picked an offer at the University of Arizona State over that of NYU. To him, it wasn’t about going to better school. It was about being able to make a name for himself and he knew that against money and the legacy battle, he’d never stand a chance. Had he known what trouble he’d find later down the road, maybe he would have taken his chances. 

He doesn’t remember how or why he stumbled into their mess, but he’d been a young attorney looking to sink his teeth into something big. The case at hand? Something the District Attorney had claimed would either make or break his career. It was ironic just how much that meant. After two weeks of trail, things had looked good for him. Everyone liked the young gun with a fire beneath him. One night, as he sipped whiskey from his plastic cup in his one bedroom apartment, everything changed. A knock at the door was followed by a group of men. He was given two options, but only one happened to leave him still breathing and whether it was out of fear or some twisted form of excitement, he picked that. Not even a week later, he was throwing the case.

After that day, he was slowly brought into the fold of the organization. At first, it was turning a blind eye to the petty criminal advances of the group. He didn’t like betraying his oath of the law, but he hoped that maybe he’d be able to change things given time. After ten years of unofficial consult on delicate situations, Xavier was offered a role he couldn’t possible say no to. SGT. of Arms. He’d be responsible for keeping everyone in check and to him, it was perfect. 

His budding law career had taken over and with solid beliefs in mind, he wanted nothing more than for The Sinful Ones to prosper. So, he made yet another jump. This time, it was to Lancaster. Getting in the District Attorney’s office as Assistant District Attorney was the easy part. He played his role for a couple of months and like magic, the District Attorney decided it was time to step down, leaving the role up for grabs. He laid on the charm thick, promised himself to the people, and had a shining record to match his radiating smile. It was no surprise when the votes dropped and Attorney Ramzi was named the new head of the prosecutor’s office.

About something of ditoeftv/vadtd...

I don't understand why some comments saying that Eckles truly loved Penny and, in a some way, was pure... I mean, I understand that we all have our own interpretation of what love is, but... in my opinion, true love is when you build a relationship without ulterior motives and trust, but most important, when you fall in love with someone because of their true self. Eckles don't love Siyeon Cha (this is the real name of MC), he loves Penny's fake mask.

From the beginning, they both wore masks to interact with each other. They both had their own ulterior motives that they never spoke of it. Penny only wanted Eckles' interest, not his love. Meanwhile, Eckles at first wanted to try to kill her to escape and, later, he changed his mind and only tried to use her. Eckles knew from the beginning that Penny only wanted to use him for something, while Penny was slow to realize that Eckles was only pretending to be her knight. The worst mistake of the two was not putting the cards on the table.

Anyway, Penny just cared about raising the interest without paying attention to him (and I don't blame her, after knowing what the true objective of the game is, it's clear to me that the ancient magicians didn't care so much about the male protagonists, especially about his feelings. Why play with their feelings if there are other ways to increase their confidence?). Meanwhile Eckles, knowing that Penny was only using him, played his rol along until he became obsessed with her. But as I mentioned earlier, he only became obsessed with her fake mask. In fact, it is certain aspects, their personalities are similar and I firmly believe that this is what caused them to fail to trust each other.

I make a parenthesis:

This post is not for talking shit about Eckles, because seriously, he was the only one (along with Callisto at a certain point) who kept the main intention of the plot: a dangerous ML that could cause the death of Penny. I started reading this novel precisely because I liked the plot surrounded by death and the premise of an female lead vs. very dangerous male leads. I love this novel and and I consider it one of my favorites, but I won't deny that at a certain point the adrenaline of feeling that one ML could cause death was lost. I think it was the fact that the novel became more of a psychological drama and the thriller was shelved, although there were times it did reappear. But later I will write about this (this paragraph has a lot of text xD). And yes, I like plots with male leads that act like predators or grim reapers; who are we to judge(?

I close parentheses.

Continuing with my point, Eckles' color bar was very dark (it almost looked like the color black) long before "Yvonne" appeared. I mention this because I will make a contrast with Derrick. This dude had a sick love for Penny, to the point that she mentions that she noticed how the magenta bird that he had in a cage in his office was an allegory of her. My point: Why did this mf have a color bar with light colors (orange, yellow and red) and not an almost black bar like Eckles?

As much as I think about it, I only have this conclusion: Derrick didn't become dangerous to Penny, unlike Eckles. In the novel we can see that Eckles' feelings are obsession and hatred, meanwhile Derrick only felt guilty about his own feelings for Penny. Yes, his love is sick but not enough to harm her (lol this seems justification, but no, I just want to understand the difference in the color of their bars).

Then, we have the side stories, where we see that Eckles has followed Penny in her archology activities for 5 years, without her knowing. I've seen people misrepresenting this spoiler, saying that he felt the need to protect her and he was protecting her from the dangerous monsters that appeared in the area... People... plis read the novel again! He admits that he followed her because he was curious because he had negative feelings towards her, a need to kill her. He admits that he felt bored because he had lost his memory, so when he felt those feelings for her, he started to follow her because he was curious. Then, Penny deduced that he was keeping her alive precisely because if she died then he would lose that curiosity.

So why would a person who "truly loved" Penny only feel the need to kill her?... In my opinion, he wanted to kill Siyeon because she had ruined Penny's fake mask. In the novel we can see that he is truly obsessed with this side of Penny, but he starts to feel more frustrating every time Siyeon starts being like her and not like the mask. Of course, there was also the matter that he couldn't see her with Callisto, but remember his bar was dark before he saw Callisto with Penny. In addition, Eckles' initial hatred for Penny was because she bought him.

Besides, I don't believe the fact that Eckles wouldn't have turned yandere if Penny had reciprocal feelings. Just look at Callisto, he would have hurt Derrick in the side stories if it weren't for the fact that he didn't bring his sword (and another things xD). The good thing is that, in the end, by interacting with Siyeon and not a fake mask, he decides to let go of those feelings and continue on his way.

Before making my conclusion I just want to add a piece of information:

Gwon Gyeoeul, the author of the novel, has other published books, but with a certain characteristic in all of them: the author really likes to deal with the topic of obsession.

Thus, in my conclusion: Eckles' role is playing an obsessed male lead but in a very dark way. That "love" he feels is an obsession not simply because of his true nature or some of Penny's "decisions", but because the author loves that topic. He even accepts that what Penny called violence was love for him. In the side stories, when Penny interacts with Eckles, a thought crosses her mind, which makes me think that its more of a clarification from the author: she thinks that Eckles' personality is originally twisted and that fact was hidden during the normal route... So, Eckles had no "true or pure" love for Siyeon, but... for her fake mask, definitely, there was. Twisted, but there was.

The brothers' movie

11/07/2015

They don't use the same last name, but they are siblings. Pedro Pascal (40) the Chilean actor who starred in Game of Thrones and now has a starring role in the Netflix series Narcos, uses his mother's surname because it is easier to pronounce in English. 17 years younger, Lucas Balmaceda Pascal (23), also an actor, debuted in Los 80 and today stars in the TVN series Juana Brava. Here, both talk for the first time about their relationship, their love for cinema and their mutual admiration.

José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal was born in Chile, but a few months later he had to go into exile with his parents and his older sister, Javiera, to Denmark. It was the end of 1975. Thanks to the Rockefeller scholarship granted for his father, the doctor José Balmaceda Riera, a year later they moved to the United States: first they lived in San Antonio, Texas. Life there was just beginning and it was not easy.

Seventeen years later, in 1992, Lucas Balmaceda was born in Orange County, California, into the comfort of a family that was financially in its prime. His dad was at the peak of his career: as a fertility specialist and director of one of the University of California's reproductive health centers. But suddenly they moved back to Chile when Lucas was three years old and his brother Nicolas was eight. The two older ones stayed there. Pedro was already studying drama at Orange County High School of the Arts. Then he went to New York to study theater at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.

After a couple of small appearances in TV series, in 2014 he took the big leap in his career: he played Prince Oberyn in Game of Thrones, which made him world famous. Today, he has a starring role in the series Narcos. He is also filming a movie with Matt Damon and Willem Dafoe.

Fame came early for Lucas. After leaving Saint George High School in 2010, he studied theater at the Universidad Católica, and he began to shine: in year fourth, he starred in the theater play "La noche obstinada", by choreographer Pablo Rotemberg, and got a role in the successful television series Los 80 and today, in his last year, he is the co-star of Juana Brava, the new TVN nighttime series.

Scene one:

Lucas appears in Pedro's life

P: "I was 17 when Lucas was born. He was a baby when I left to go to university. I remember my first visit back and Lucas, who was not even two years old, was already the owner of the house. I remember those looks, wanting to tell me: 'I don't know who you are, but this is my house, mate.

To this day I have never seen that personality in another child. It was fascinating to see that wit in someone so small. Since he was a kid he had that fierce intelligence... The four siblings, Javiera, the eldest and the queen of the family; Nicolas, the doctor; Lucas and I are like a compact and consistent unit. I can't imagine life without them".

L: "Pedro was studying at the university in New York when I was born. When he went home for vacations to see the family, as I didn't know him, I thought: 'who is this guest, who is this weirdo who kisses my mother? She's mine!'. Back in Chile, every year Pedro came to visit us. It was the most entertaining thing in the world for me. He was much older and he would come with all the coolness, with all the culture of cinema, with horror movies that were not available here. Then we would watch them and play them out, we would do sketches. We would play that Pedro was a murderous monster and we would escape from him. We were each a character. He was very funny, he did voices, he impersonated people. He gets mad when I tell him, but I've always found that he has a Jim Carrey thing about him, he manages to make some impressive faces. When he came on, I couldn't stop watching him, he was too entertaining. We are all big movie buffs thanks to my dad. When I was three years old, he took my brothers and me to see Batman. I remember crying hysterically. I was very young, sensitive, and being in the cinema was like entering to another reality: loud noises, giant screen. I didn't understand anything.

Scene two

Transplanted

P: "What's Chilean about me and what's gringo about me is a very interesting question, because I don't think even at 40 years old I've been able to figure it out. I was raised and educated in the United States and socialized a lot with American pop culture, but Chilean pride has always been unwavering. My parents were exiled for eight years. So our visits to Chile were regular. My whole life I have lived in the United States and my whole life I have visited my relatives in Chile. However, since my siblings were raised in Chile, my connection to the country is much stronger today and it is something I am grateful for. Something that happens to me a lot is that when I say I've been in the U.S. my whole life, they say, "Well, you're a gringo then! And after a conversation in my fluent Spanish with a clear Chilean accent that same person turns around and says: I've been listening to you, you're Chilean!

L: "I am Chilean because I lived and grew up here since I was three years old, but at the same time I have a cultural disconnection: my parents lived 25 years in the United States, my brothers are gringos. My visual culture is super gringo, the TV shows I watched when I was a kid or the movies I watch to this day I understand them from that place: as an American. More than being born in the United States, I feel it's because of my family's background".

SCENE THREE:

The performance

P: "There were good years and bad years (when I started my acting career in the United States). Many years I was a waiter to supplement my income. But from a very young age I was auditioning for professional jobs. In my late twenties my career in the theater was relatively consistent. Then, when opportunities in television arose, I was consolidating and it became much easier to pay my expenses. I think that struggle, going through those situations, empowers you a lot and it's one of the things I'm enormously grateful for. And Game of Thrones was an incredible gift. It's the best role I've ever played and they're the best people I've ever worked with."

L: "It's Pedro's fault that I wanted to be an actor. But when I told him I wanted to study theater it was hard for him, more than anything, because he cares about me and studying theater is hard. You have to be very wise and have a super high self-esteem to take care of yourself. Pedro went through many things. If there is an actor who doesn't have contacts in the United States, it's him. Everything he has achieved is because of his work. That's why when people ask me why I don't go to the U.S., it's a resounding no. Being Pedro Pascal's little brother is not going to get me around the corner; I would have to be Tom Cruise's twin to achieve anything. Even so, Pedro had many failed career starts. In 2011, for example, he was offered a starring role in a series called Wonder Woman and it was eventually canceled. That's why, when Games of Thrones came up, I was like, wow! We were all freaking out, because Games of Thrones is like a worldwide trending topic. All the episodes he was in, we were all watching them together at my house, eating pizza or sushi."

SCENE FOUR:

Mutual lessons

P: "I try not to get too involved in anything Lucas does or how he does it. He has single-handedly created each of his experiences and is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen. He loves his work and is continually developing his skills for television and theater, and eventually film. He executes like a real artist and, to be honest, it is more common for me to learn something from him than for him to learn something from me. I mean that very sincerely. Lucas reminds me to work hard and keeps me inspired. When I saw him in Los 80 I was incredibly proud, but not surprised. I was seeing something I had always known. The only advice I've given him is to not be such a workaholic, to take care of himself and to be proud of what he's accomplished and what he still has yet to accomplish. Deep down, I'm always going to be the protective big brother."

L: "Pedro is an object of admiration for me. What he says is law for me. Sometimes I ask him: 'Pedro, did you see that movie?' and he says: 'Yes, I didn't like it'. I tell him: 'Oh, I didn't like it either'. The nice thing about our relationship is that it happens so sporadically, once or twice a year, that the moments when we see each other are very intense. We either fight a lot or we love each other too much, but it's always like a story, like a movie. While he's there and I'm here, we talk a lot on WhatsApp and Facebook".

P: "With Lucas we always keep each other up to date on what movies to watch, what TV shows are good. I bug him all the time asking him about what's going on in his life and I'm always asking him about his perspective on things. Despite being away from each other for a long time, Lucas and I are very close and always have been. I see Lucas at the beginning of an amazing career, with an unwavering curiosity and passion. I love it when he confides in me about things he is enjoying or situations he is dealing with."

L: "I've never seen Pedro in theater, but I've been told he's tremendous. On camera, I find that he has a very intense look. He also has, and in that we are very similar, a very strong visual culture, the fact that we have always liked horror movies. He plays characters that hide something, dark characters. A great strength is that he is very sensual, he knows how to handle himself well from seduction".

P: "Lucas is brave, he's fearless. There's nothing he's not willing to try, he's never going to give up on a challenge, he's never going to leave something halfway, no matter what that means to him. Lucas is unstoppable.

Link interview

[smolbeifong]

“My own mother thought I was a monster. She was right, of course, but it still hurt”

Given how complex of a character Azula is, I have always found amusing how well this short quote describes her personality and summarizes her arc.

“Monster”. Harsh word, but sadly pretty close to the truth. Azula is characterized as one of the show’s bad guys, and that cannot be denied. She did a lot of terrible things, from manipulation to betrayal to straight up physically harming people, and while it’s true that her upbringing played a significant role in her ending up in a particular path, it is important to acknowledge that Azula is still responsible for her acts. Trauma and lack of support provide an explanation, but not a justification.

“She was right, of course”. The most impressive part of Azula’s statement, in my opinion, is that she acknowledges that her mother’s judgement of her character is accurate. Azula is not a misguided child that thought she was doing the right thing, this quote confirms that she is fully aware of the moral implications of her actions, but chooses to do them regardless. This tells us a lot about her personality: she’s very ambitious, determined, and has an iron will, to the point that she will use any means to achieve her ends. It’s amusing, really, how she doesn’t seem to be ashamed of it. On the contrary, she seems to be proud. But how could it be any other way? Ever since she was a child, she was praised by her father for being decisive, driven and ruthless, and was encouraged to enhance those traits. That’s what gave her advantage over Zuko before her father’s eyes, and what made her mother turn away from her.

“My own mother”. Yes, because Azula and Zuko’s stories are foils, and contrast each other in many ways. Azula, the once golden child who falls and is left broken. Zuko, the once broken child who is able to rise up and become his better self. Ozai rejected Zuko and embraced Azula for the same reasons Ursa rejected Azula and embraced Zuko. Ursa played a pivotal rol in both of her children’s arcs. For Zuko, as shown in Zuko Alone, she was his moving force, alongside Iroh. For Azula, she was her downfall. In her final moments, Azula didn’t cry for Zuko, or Mai, or Ty Lee’s abandonment. No, she cried for her mother.

“It still hurt”. This are the words that represent better my feelings towards Azula. She was a cruel person that caused a lot of harm, but her story makes it difficult to me not to feel sorry for her. Ursa’s rejection of Azula hurt her deeply. And it leaves me thinking on how much this impacted on her actions throughout the show: Is her obsession with being the perfect child of Ozai a way of making up for being the disgraced Ursa’s daughter? Is her “trust is for fools” philosophy a consequence of the rejection of her own mother, the one person that was supposed to love her and support her unconditionally? Is it true that she was so affected by Mai’s betrayal because it reminded her about how Ursa also chose Zuko over her?

Judging a victim that is also a victimizer is always complex, and Azula is a very prime example of that. One can’t simply tell where the abused child ends and where the monster begins. One can’t be sure about how free Azula was when making the choices she did. ATLA did an excellent job with her character, and I bow down to them.

okay i know i already talked abour omori yesterdy but man, this game....

i really can't stop thinking about it so here's some thoughts (with spoilers ofc)

also if you're into psychological horror and undertale-like videogames, definitely check omori, this game is truly a masterpiece

· ok first of all. SOMETHING is singlehandedly the creepiest monster i've ever seen in my entire life, like its design was already bad enough but when you learn it comes from the boys looking at mari's corpse before the leave is :/

· also the music when you face any of the SOMETHING forms

· the game in general is so fucking creepy and it's truly impressive. i'm not an expert on horror rpgs but i feel like a lot of them just use over the top creepy/gruesome elements that yeah they make you feel :/ but you forget them afterward because they are not impressive... but omori manages to be very unsettling through the dark parts of the game because it's all related to sunny's guilt over mari's death, and that's what really makes it for me, it's honestly a really clever thing

· the theme of guilt is just so amazingly done in this game to the point that it becomes just heartbreaking. The something following you in the leaving ending; basil's something eating him up during his fight, abbi being trapped in the abyss because omori doesn't want to face the idea of telling eveyone the truth, the headspace being a metaphore of sunny not wanting to move on, basil disappearing because sunny doesn't want to remember what happened, the stairs being so unsettling, the whole part about basil in the black space, ... just wow

· the black photo album thing is so damn cool that was a very nice touch to reveal the truth

· it actually didn't hit me how terrible the whole situation was until omori said "everyone loved her and you killed her" like man that hurts

· also the fact everyone thinks she comitted suicide is just so hurtful, because they don't know what led her to hang herself you know... they are all probably thinking all the time about mari's hidden problems and how they never noticed them and feeling like it's their fault she committed suicide... damn

· speaking of this i can't stop thinking about that time kel says that after mari's death hero was so devastated he became isolated for a whole year. it doesn't seem like it because when he comes back he's cheerful and all that, but it feels like he was the one who felt the worst after the incident (besides sunny and basil ofc)

· the characters are all so cute and funny and warm i can't believe this is a horror game

· maybe my only complaint is that basil's feelings on the situation are way over the top compared to his actual rol in the incident... like throughout the whole game i was thiking basil was the one who had done the very fucked up thing so finding out it was sunny who killed mari was kinda disappointing? i mean i get he's an anxious and depressed boy but if that's the only reason why he looks far more nervous than sunny then that's kinda weak ngl

· humphrey's battle was so damn scary who tf came up with that

· the drawings on omori's sketchbook?? bruh

· watching the hikikomori route and these two comments devastated me: "After finishing the game in the best ending, looking at this entire route is really depressing, it's a better RPG experience, the dream world evolves, the characters have more depth and there are a lot more quests and areas to explore, but this is all fake, the real Sunny accomplished nothing, he won't see his real friends ever again and everyone's life will remain broken forever." // "He survives, but never truly lives."

i'll probably add more stuff later but tl;dr this game is a masterpiece and everyone should play it

[zuffer-weird-girl]

Hello! If requests are still open, can I request an imagine where Dabi has a civilian S/O who isn’t aware of him being a villain and while walking home, S/O overhears Dabi and Hawks having their talk after the fight with Endeavor where Hawks points out he knows about S/O, who finds out about Dabi being a villain. Angst but Fluff? Thanks!

Oof my heart

It was a disaster. Fire was everywhere, the number one pro hero was with half of his face injured and was already being taken to the hospital and the tension in the air didn't fade away even when you were walking peacefully on a streat just to cool yourself down... Not even a single soul was near by, exactly what you wanted.

You couldn't saw the villain's face at the time due to your distance, but the amount of flames was already enough for you to start panicking. Especially when they reminded you of someone, he was working at the time, what if something happened to him?

Even if for some odd reason you couldn't feel a good vibe coming from Endeavour, you still felt pity, that would be a nasty scar engraved on his face (lol sucks for you my man)...

You checked your phone in your pocket to see if he had answered your worried messages, someone felt pity over you to Dabi not only answer but after at least 5 minutes later.

"-Geez Doll calm your ass down I'm okay, just had to deal with a bullshit of a coworker who can't do even something that was comanded... I'll probably be a little late to get home but until there relax a little would ya? I can see you trembling from only reading your message."

"-Asshole I was woried sick about you, I don't even know where the hell you work at!"

"-Well as you can probably see not in the midle of the city, because I would be dead already right? Unless I'm texting you from hell."

"-Shut up you weirdo XD

-So, want for dinner take out or home cooked?"

"-Your cooking is the shit, and I'm broke anyway. See ya in a few doll, take care because I won't be the one atending to your whines later."

You shake your head at the silly messages, Dabi was slowly but surely opening up more and more for you as the times goes by, you learned that you had to be pacient for him to trust you completely, and what's the matter about that? Everyone has their time to give their trust to others, and just by looking sometimes at Dabi in his "vulnerable" moments you could see that he suffered a lot... you wanted to change that, for him to be at least happy...

"I didn't break my part of the debt who did this was you"

You frooze dead on your steps, that voice-! You couldn't be mistaken! It was the second ranked pro-hero Hawks!

"Doesn't make sense to ask like that to trust the number 2 hero just like that, that was also a test for you..."

D-dabi? What was your boyfriend doing in here? Talking to a pro-hero nonless! He always avoided the topic and sometimes made very realistic and cruel even coments at them.

You peeked inside the building just to comfirm that you weren't hallucinating, you saw Dabi standing right in front of a feartherless; except the one he was holding against your boyfriend freaking neck; Hawks, you weren't even in the conversation and was feeling all tense and bothered...

"Dabi that doesn't change the things, imagine a hypothetical situation, in the middle of the city, all that disaster envolving a bunch of civilians... what are the chances of your (Y/N) be in there? Just walking peacefully back from work and suddenly "bam!" Engulfed by your own flames or even attacked by that Nomu?"

Oh shoot now you were one on their conversations.

For a moment you felt like Dabi was going to burn Hawks alive by only looking at him, his hands were formed in fists and his face remained monotonous as ever, the only difference was the intensity of his gaze toward the winged hero.

"Wow, for a hero you do know how to play dirty don't you?" He smirked "Don't involve someone who doesn't even know what the fuck is going on this topic Hawks, if you want our trust them I suggest that maybe, just maybe you never say their name ever again... Got that?" his words were like acid spilling from his half scarred lips.

You heart was pouding so loudly that you missed half of the conversation before Hawks said something that you swore you felt your world crashing down.

"I was always in favor of the league of villains Dabi."

"Maybe, but I won't let you meet the boss yet..."

So that's why sometimes he came so late back to your appartment, why he avoided and despise the topic of heroes... He hide this from you since when?

"See you around Hawks..." you quickly hide behind another building before Dabi has the chance of taking a glance at you, you saw him walking for a few minutes before picking his phone from his pocket and starts typing at it.

Your phone buzzed shortly after.

1 message from ♡

"-My bad it took longer than I expected, the meal is done sweetcheeks?"

You couldn't find the strength to even answer at the time, trying to put every information in order inside your brain and try to not freak out.

How should you feel about this? Scared? Betrayed? Angry? Sad? You don't even know anymore...

You made your way back home slowly thinking of a way to how bring up this conversation to him... Dabi must have gotten in your appartmen right now.

3 messages from ♡

Speaking of the devil...

"-hey where the fuck are you? I thought that you were already home? Everthing okay?"

"-You didn't cook...I'm hurt. I was really looking forward to eat something that doesn't taste like agrotoxic..."

You couldn't contain the tiny smile that appeared after reading his messages... You couldn't stay mad at him for too long... you were so used by his teasing that you guess you just went along with it by now...

But that won't erase what you just saw... You need to talk to him.

Why he hide this from you? Why he lied? You just wanted to know.

You inhaled deeply before opening the door of your appartment preparing to the inevitable.

"What the fuck (Y/N)?! Why didn't you answer my texts?!" Dabi quickly got up from the couch he was currently laying on and made his way to you checking for possibles injures or something out of normal.

"Are you okay? Some bastard stopped you on the street and you got robbed?" He asked worriedly placing both of his hands on your shoulders looking deeply inside your eyes.

You remember the way he was looking at Hawks, threatening... pretty soon to make the winged hero a toasted chicken. (sorry hawks is my favorite hero but this shit is about Dabi)

You looked down at your feet and gently swatted his hands away from your shoulders.

"I'm okay don't worry about it..." you left to grab a cup of water, you needed to calm down.

"How am I not supposed to not worry about it if you were the one texting me like crazy asking if I was okay and then you suddenly dissapear" he said the last thing with his voice mixing with guilt and worry.

You gulped the water, and took a big breath before drooping the bomb.

"You are the villain from earlier aren't you? ' from the league of villains'... The one who was battling with Endeavour..."

None of you speak for at least 5 minutes, the only sounds of the room being your breath and the tic and toc from your clock...

Even with the nerves on your skin you manage to find courage to turn around and meet his turquoise eyes.

Now that was a sign you weren't expecting...

Dabi was with almost giant wide eyes, lips slightly parted and that expression of his... fear, panick... You never saw Dabi in such a desperate stage.

Instead of looking at you he decided to fix his gaze on the kitchen floor, mouth opening and closing trying to find words to answer that...

"H-how... It was Hawks wasn't it?" He laughed maniacally bringing his hand to hide part of his face "That fucking-"

"It wasn't." You interrupted, afraid for the hero's life "I-I kinda... heard your conversation from earlier...it was my own curiosity that lead me to find this... I'm sorry for worrying you, but that's why I took so long to come back..."

Silence... oh for dear god above how you hated this silence.

He lift his gaze from the floor to you, eyes fulled with deep sadness and regret...

"So...? Not gonna do anything?" He asked "Call the heroes for help? Report me? Start yeeling at me saying I'm a monster, that I shouldn't even have a place on this fucking world...? C'mon Doll... don't need to hold back." His tone was so deplorable... like he wanted you to end his existence right there and now.

He closed his eyes when he noticed your steps and just stood there, waiting for the worse...

Guess both of you got surprise at each others actions tonight because the last thing he would expected to feel was your loving embrace engulfing his gloomy figure.

You carresed his scalp making him shiver, and it didn't take too long for cautiously scarred arms to hug you tight in return, maybe if he just caged you in his arms you wouldn't leave...

No, he did deserve to be left on ashes... He wouldn't do this...

"Why didn't you tell me?" His breath hitched again.

"Why?" He chuckled darkly while hugging you tighter "Just look at what your hugging sweet cheeks... I was too selfish to tell you because I didn't need more reasons for you to leave me behind... but also due to your safety, imagine what could happen... heroes would be tracking you down because of your bond with me..." he breathes you in and carresed your hair gently before mumbling something in disgust "Even if you got nothing to deal with it..."

You stayed like this for a moment before letting out a giggle.

"You know it's funny." You rubbed your fingers up and down his back "It was actually so obvious, you were too good at hiding or I was too dumb to know... Maybe both?"

He mumbled a shut up before burying his face in the crook of your neck.

"So... what now?" He asked.

You pinched hard at one of his ears piercings making Dabi yelp; yes yelp; leaving your embrace immediately to cover his ear in pain letting out a few lot of curses.

"What the fuck was that for you little sh-?!"

"That." You pointed at his ear "Was for hidding such a big information like that from me." He rolled his eyes in annoyance

"Okay point tak-" you interrupted him with a small but hard punch on his stomach, not for him to feel imense pain but not to be comfortable either.

"WHAT THE FU-"

"That. Was for you threatening a life only beacause they mentioned my name, you're going to find more trouble than you already have with this."

"Oh fuck you you little shit." He spilled out the words glaring at you with his previously hand on his ear now on his stomach. "Done already?"

"Actually no." He groaned as you made your way towards him.

"That." You spoke while gently putting both of your hands on his face and bringing him for a long and passionate kiss. When both of you parted, Dabi eyes were clouded with wonder yet adoration.

"It's for you to even think about the possibility of me leaving your sorry ass behind. Beautiful, intelligent, protective, loving... a very cocky bastard-" Both of you chuckled at that "I have the whole package... why would I want to leave behind someone just as perfect as you? Be a villain, hero, civialian or whatever.... I love you to the moon and back my beautiful fireball."

He let out a few breaths laughs before bringing you tight to his chest, you pretend to not the feel some tears driping on your face and shir.

"You're fucking crazy you know that?"

"Maybe for you I guess." You happily snuggled on his chest, adoring his scent.

"Fucking weirdo..." he whispered so quietly the next words that if it wasn't for the proximity of you two you would have missed it.

"I love you so much more my doll..."

Father and Son

Papachimo Bobochimo steps into the hall, but the air around him seems different. Gone is his usual arrogant confidence. He pushes his glasses up by the bridge, and turns to greet the company. “Greetings, everyone. I trust the last….hunt went smoothly?”

"Not as smoothly as we might have liked. It turns out the beast was a man, who transformed each night into a corrupted monster that devoured corpses. It was... grisly,” Rolanda Deschain says as she shakes her head slowly. ”We were hardly able to injure him, but we were able to use the sedative to temporarily subdue him. He is currently held captive downstairs."

"Show me to him. I can't in good conscience let him be,” Papachimo directs.

Ifoux, the ‘crystal man,’ is laid out on a stretcher, deep asleep. Papachimo approaches him cautiously, gently takes Ifoux’s hand in his own, and watches the sleeping elezen with a razor sharp focus.

“We must take this man back to our labs. Only there, can he receive proper treatment. What did you say his name was?” Papachimo demands.

"The man's name is Ifoux. While he was himself he seemed like quite a kind man. Please make sure he is treated well,” Rolanda cooly responds.

Haila glances quickly at the slumbering man before interrupting even if just a little. "I don't know the details of his condition too well yet. But will your resources be enough to treat this person?"

“As the creator of the crystal beasts, I am best equipped to reverse the condition,” Papachimo declares. Rolanda sighs, the lalafell’s demanding demeanor putting her on edge.

"Papachimo...I'm sure that you've noticed that many of our companions are not here to receive you. If I'm honest, it's because many of them didn't want you to leave here today alive. I convinced them that it was best to let you live, but they refused to meet you face to face. Frankly, I am inclined to let them do what they will with you," Rolanda half threatens, her body shifting forward with thinly veiled annoyance.

Papachimo doesn’t bat a lash. “Hmph. I did notice the room looked emptier compared to last time. A shame they could not keep their reservations in check and be professional about this,” he retorts.

"Yes, this whole affair reeks of professionalism. I am disgusted at how detached you have become. I hope your son will still recognize you when you get him back,” Rolanda fires back.

Papachimo Bobochimo points his nose up at the comment, but maintains a steady, cold glare. “...Regardless, I would offer one last job for the company. I am to meet the Amal’jaa today, and would be pleased if Heartwood could escort, and guard me during the encounter. The company is martially skilled...despite an overall lack of wit.”

"I can't guarantee anything, naturally. But I think it is best that you take your...test subject...with you and leave," Rolanda answers, annoyance growing with every passing second.

Wyda had been following along with the conversation silently so far. While she agreed with Rol’s sentiment, to let him meet with the Amal’jaa alone would be condemning the man and his son to death. “Rol, let’s go along. One last bitter pill to swallow, and then we’ll be done with it.”

Rolanda relents, and nods at the Sea Wolf. "It has been a confusing time for me lately...I'll be happy when this is all behind us. If you want to go, I'll help."

“Then we are to meet at the fringes of Zahar'ak at sundown. In exchange for potent crystals and the crystal beast recipe, the Amal’jaa will return my son to me. As discussed last time, instead of providing the real recipe, I will hand over a fake.” Papachimo shoots a glance at his assistant, who rolls out two thick scrolls on the table. “This one is the fake, if anyone wants to review it beforehand. And this one is the real deal.”

Rolanda Deschain looks to Haila. "You know what you're doing, maybe you could take a look and see if it looks like a realistic fake?"

Haila Wetyios nods, coming close to look down at the scrolls. The range of her expressions went from amused, to confusion, to surprise. "Both can be taken as the real, but the basic ingredients and processing of the real one-" she said, tapping her finger on a few of the lines. "Clearly will do a number on you. The fake, will do something alright, but not enough to create a crystal beast."

Rolanda Deschain nods. "Sounds good enough to me. Are we ready to head there straight away, or is the meeting later on this evening?"

"We meet at sundown. That gives us a few bells to travel to the meeting grounds," Papachimo answers, his eyes growing dark. "I have a feeling that the Amal'jaa have something up their sleeve."

As the sun glimmers at the edge of sand and sky, the whole landscape is bathed in an orange glow. A large Amal’jaa donning a bone headdress watches the sun sink slowly beneath the horizon. His snarl grows as the sun lowers, and he turns as the party approaches. He raises a clawed hand, and Papachimo similarly raises his own, motioning for everyone to stop.

“Javekk Gah. I see you are looking as soft bellied as ever,” Papachimo spits out with a scowl

“Let’s not make this any longer than it needs to be,” the Amal’jaa spits back. “Keep your mangy dogs back. We will exchange where all may watch, but none can interfere.”

Papachimo nods at the party, and steps out onto the open sands with the bags in tow. Javekk does the same, his own lackeys kept a good distance back. A blonde lalafell youth trails behind in the Amal’jaa shadow. Papachimo hands off the bags, and Javekk does the same with his prisoner.

“Chachachimo, it’s me! Your father. Let’s leave this behind and go home,” Papachimo urges his son the moment he gets close. The boy looks up, eyes clouded and confused. Papachimo repeats himself over and over, but to no avail. His son’s confusion only grows, and finally, he mutters something that sets his father on edge.

“Javekk...don’t tell me the boy is...tempered?” Papachimo stammers. The Amal’jaa priest sighs, but a devilish grin remains in place.

“Papachimo, your son is as dumb as a doorknob. Couldn’t even keep his mouth shut for ten blazing seconds...but yes. There’s no problem with this, is there? A deal’s a deal, and we fulfilled our end of it,” Javekk jeers, as his tail whips back and forth in delight.

Rolanda Deschain tenses, her hand slowly moving towards her bow. "This is horse****!" she mutters, so only her companions can hear. "Haila, you got my back if I start this?"

"Absolutely,” Haila whispers back without thinking twice.

Papachimo looks back at the party, a raging fire burning behind his eyes. “Whoever brings me the head of Javekk gets double - no, triple - pay!”

"Damn it old man, did no one ever teach you about the element of surprise?" Rolanda unsheaths her bow and nocks an arrow quickly, pulling back the string with Javekk's forehead in her sights.

Wyda rolls her eyes and dashes into the clearing, fists raised. “Damned lalafell...don’t get the wrong idea about this. I fight for what’s right, not because you’re paying me!”

Haila quickly draws her gun, ready for blood. As Papachimo turns, Javekk lets loose a fireball at the lalafell, which hits him squarely in the back. With a yelp, Papachimo hits the sand and flails about.

"Well shite," Haila mumbles under her breath as she reaches for a switch on her gun, quickly firing several spread beams meant to slow any advances made at them before being able to reach Papachimo.

Papachimo lets out a long groan, his backside thoroughly roasted. The left lens of his spectacles is shattered, and his once immaculately styled haircut is now tousled like a birds nest. He sees a fight raging on above him, and flumps back in the sand. May as well play dead for the time being.

The Amal’jaa lancers and gladiators rush out onto the sands, but are barraged by a flurry of beams. They’re knocked back by the impact, and one lands face first into the ground. Backed by Haila’s surpressing fire, Wyda continues to charge in, making a beeline at Javekk. But her steps are impeded by the sand, and her strikes come out clumsy.

In the commotion, Rolanda lets loose her arrow. It flies straight and true - sinking directly into Javekk’s shoulder. He hisses in pain and grabs the shaft of the arrow. With a single breath, he rips it out, blood gushing from the now open wound. “These dogs still have a bit of bite in them, do they? Brothers and sisters of Ifrit, let us show them the true might of the eternal flame!”

The Amal’jaa lackeys push forward with a rallying cry, with some making a mad dash to the backline. Javekk raises his staff and lobs a series of fireballs at Haila and Rolanda, but the two manage to dodge the majority of the spell. 

Haila doesn't waste any time to launch a counter attack as she aims directly at Javekk, hoping to disarm him as soon as possible. Her shot hits Javekk in his arm, and he crumples to the ground, sand billowing in clouds around him. Something flies away from him, and lands on the ground with a thump…. It’s his arm, still clutching the staff. Javekk howls in agony and immediately turns tail. “Blast! My kin, destroy this filth. I must retreat!”

"We can't let that son of an Amal'Jerk get away!" Rolanda looses an arrow at the retreating, one-armed Javekk. The arrow hits Javekk below the knee, and he turns to give the Au ra a nasty glare as he collapses onto the ground - still breathing, but otherwise incapacitated.

Distracted by the spray of blood and sand, Wyda can’t quite land a solid punch on her target. “Curses...I hate sand. It’s coarse, and rough, and gets everywhere,” Wyda murmurs. At the worst possible moment, Wyda feels the still recovering wound on her gut give way to fresh jolts of pain. She keels over from the sting, and leaves herself open to the Amal’jaa lancer’s attack. Steel rips through armor, and blood sprays out from the gash. With a gasp, she steps back, one hand clutched at her stomach, the other raised in a defensive position. 

Rolanda notices and nocks another arrow. Aiming carefully, she unleashes a shot that lands directly between the eyes of the enemy. For a moment, the lancer shivers and brings a hand up, as if unable to believe what had just occurred. Then he falls back, dead as a doorknob. "Two scum down, one to go," Rolanda breathes out.

The last foe, a tempered gladiator, closes in on Haila. Much to the gladiator's dismay, she isn’t caught off guard a single time. The woman neatly dodges blow after blow, and then aims a clean punch to the gut to stagger and gain the upper hand. For a split second, she thinks of simply aiming for the head and ending it right there, but a small part of her hesitated, as if realizing how cold blooded she would become if she allowed herself to let go. Grunting, she instead opted to kick the gladiator away. The tempered gladiator, a hyur man, lands on the ground with a huff. Dizzy, exhausted, and injured, he stares up at Haila in disbelief, before sprinting for dear life.

Rolanda readies another arrow, but seeing the Amal'jaa flee, decides there has been enough bloodshed today. "Let's make sure everyone knows whose body parts are whose, and clean up this mess." 

The battle was over. Haila visibly relaxes a little, but doesn’t put her gun away for the moment. Instead she walks over to where Papachimo is playing dead, briefly assessing the charring on his back before speaking. "I trust you have no business left with Javekk?" she said to him, knowing that the man was still conscious.

Papachimo cracks open an eye at Haila, then stands up suddenly. He looks around and lets out a breath of relief. “Javekk, that son of a...let me give that oversized lizard a piece of my mind.”

"Papachimo, you seem... surprisingly unhurt," Rolanda dryly notes. "Couldn't lend a hand a bit sooner, could you?"

“I am a man of words, not swords. And I’ll have you know my back is quite roasted, thank you! Now, where is Javekk…” Papachimo walks over to the Amal’jaa and looks down at him, a smug expression on the lalafell’s face. He hacks up a wad of saliva and spits on Javekk’s face. “Tell your god Ifrit to never mess with us Ul’dah folk again. Oh, though I suppose you won’t be able to tell him anything, not while you’re bleeding all over the sands.”

The lalafell cruelly kicks the downed Amal’jaa in the ribs...and a low, rolling laugh bubbles up from the Amal’jaa, eventually erupting into explosive cackles that shake his entire body. Papachimo jumps back. “W-what’s so funny? Explain yourself, lizard. I command you!”

“The last laugh...is mine and mine alone,” Javekk manages between breaths. He extends a claw directly at Papachimo’s son, and then goes limp. The beastman was no more.

Wyda gave a hesitant look at Rol and Haila. She had heard that a swift death was the kindest, and only, option for the tempered. But it felt wrong to simply execute Papachimo’s son.

"Well, Papachimo, you got your son back. I hope it was worth it," Rolanda stated.

Papachimo looks to the ground, the mood suddenly somber now that the Amal’jaa were well and truly dealt with. “So many, I’ve lost to primals. To Bahamut, and now to Ifrit.” He glances over at his son, who simply stood there out of earshot.

“Please, I bid you keep one last secret for me. Ul’dah would execute him on the spot if they learned he was tempered. Even if there’s no way to get to him…” Papachimo stares at his son with a tenderness not yet witnessed from the man prior. “I must try.”

"Far be it from me to tell another man what to do with his kin. I hope you're able to find some happiness in all of this," Rolanda says with a shrug.

Wyda opens her mouth for a second, then closes it. As much as she disliked Papachimo, the situation was sad. Hopeless, yet hopeful. She winces as blood trickles down from the open gash on her abdomen. “Papachimo, I...wish you luck. May Llymlaen’s wind be at your sail,” Wyda manages.

Haila lowers her weapon, approaching the lalafell until she is right before him. "You lost today, but you're not done." she says, quickly glancing at his son before looking back at him. "We all have a job to do, yourself included." she pauses once more, as if reluctant to be kinder to the lalafell. "Find a way to turn him back, you've a longer road than just treating the ones you've also corrupted."

Papachimo simply gazes into the burning sun, his golden eyes glistening with tears that betray his otherwise orderly composure. “...That will be all.” he finally says, and steps forward to grab his son’s hand. Together, the two lalafell walk away and began their long journey together.

Uno de mis foros favoritos era Our Source Code, el viejo y no el actual, porque ofrecía una gran variedad de cosas, no sólo tutoriales, sino también guías (recuerdo que había una guía desde 0 para poder crear una skin básica, aunque me parece que nunca la terminaron, pero era ideal para ir aprendiendo), ayudas y recursos, sean gráficos o de códigos. Además de eso, ofrecían una zona de rol para buscar compañeros, staff o tramas. Y tenía mucha actividad, 20 usuarios por día, mínimo.

Que lastima que cerrara. Creo que había un foro parecido llamado Rol Play Monster que tenía tutoriales para gráficos, Skins, promoción de foros etc.

Review on My Strange Hero

So, My strange hero finally came to an end last monday and I decided to write a review and also share my thoughts about it here on tumblr. We will go all the way down the story, characters and the cast. THE FOLLOWING REVIEW MAY HAVE SPOILERS! SOOO HERE WE GO :)

Profile

Drama: My Strange Hero (English title) / Bok-Su's Back ( literal title)

Revised romanization: Boksooga Dolawadda

Hangul: 복수가 돌아왔다

Director: Ham Joon-Ho

Writer: Kim Yoon-YoungNetwork: SBS

Episodes: 32

Release Date: December 10, 2018 - February 4, 2019

Runtime: Monday & Tuesday 22:00 (35 minutes each / 2 eps per day)

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Plot Synopsis (by AsianWiki Staff ©)

When Kang Bok-Su (Yoo Seung-Ho) was a high school student, he was falsely accused of committing violence and kicked out of school. This was caused by his first love Son Soo-Jeong (Jo Bo-Ah) and a male student Oh Se-Ho. Kang Bok-Su is a now an adult, but his life has not gone smoothly. To get revenge on Son Soo-Jeong and Oh Se-Ho, he returns to the same high school as a student. The environment at the school has changed and Kang Bok-Su gets involved in unexpected cases.

THE ACTORS / CHARACTERS

Yoo Seung Ho As Kang Bok Su

The last time I saw Yoo Seung Ho was in ‘I’m not a robot’, I thought he was a great actor, his acting skills where absolutely amazing and ofc he was very cute. In My Strange Hero he plays the role of a high school student and later an adult (who is also an student somehow) but don’t worry he actually acts the same the whole drama. I think Yoo Seung Ho was perfect to play Kang Bok Su who was a cute/dummy baby but also had a great sense of justice and fairness. 

Jo Bo Ah as Son Soo Jeong

Well, this is the first time I see her in a Kdrama to be honest. Anyways, she appears in ‘Temperature of Love & Monster.’ as well. I also gotta say I was amazed by here acting skills, she played Son Soo Jeong really well. The character was a cute student who becomes a teacher 9 years later. The writers did great giving this character moments where she didn’t do what was ‘right’ but still be a good person. 

Kwak Dong Yeon As Oh Se HO

The first time I got to see him was in ‘My ID Is Gangnam Beauty’, he played his rol really well but it was a ‘common’ rol to play. However, Oh Se Ho was a difficult and different character, he was an antagonist but at the beginning he’s a dumb, naive and innocnet student who just wanted to be loved. It was a complicated character so Dong Yeon has all my respect, oh I almost forget to say he’s only 21 years old, the age gap between him and the main couple is huge. 

My Thoughts (NO Spoilers)

My strange hero is a fairly complete story as far as I'm concerned, it also provides a positive message & motivation to young people in a certain way. I really like how it stands again the educational system and shows how it affects students, and how they are pressured by their parents. Something that was really beautiful in this drama was the way it mentions that everybody has dreams even when it does not seem like it. Finally, my strange hero also includes several famous phrases that serve as motivation, I think that was a heartwarming aspect. If you are someone who enjoys comedy, romance, school and drama, you will really love my strange hero. 8/10

Things you should know
