The DA Y/N OC Hunger Games Part 4

Part 1 | Part 3 || Part 5 | Part 10 | Part 11

Sorry for not having gotten around to this for the last few days. There was really no reason for it. Lately my brain has just been a pile of useless, non-productive mush. So I just haven't gotten anything done at all these last few days... Which isn't good, I suppose, but that's just what happens sometimes when you have a bad brain. And a bad brain is indeed what I have. IN ANY CASE! That's not what you're here for! You're here for murder! Soooooooo...

Do you know what time it is? Showtime? Murder time! Time for round 4 baybee! Y'all ready for this? No? Well TOO BAD BUCKO! It's back to business for us! So here we are! The results of round 4!

In a fit of frenzy, Alice @chelseareferenced​ creeps up on ??? ( @youraverageauprocrastinator​ ) and kills them dead!

WOOF! What a way to start off the round amiright? Fresh off of getting her revenge and snapping Dark’s neck, Alice decides to keep the murder spree up by killing ??? (youraverageauprocrastinator) here! And what a shame too. They never did figure out how to feel about all of this... And now they never will. Because they're dead. Forever. RIP. u.u

Y/N ( @dormats-town​ ) wonders how far they could throw their pitchfork. Athena (Post-WKM) ( @withjust-a-bite​ ) just wants it to end already...

I suppose that Athena (Post-WKM) here is just watching Y/N “Abe Slayer” (dormats-town) figure out how to stabby stab people real good with their pointy. Very difficult job for the both of them, I'm sure. Athena, I just hope that for your sake that Roses here isn't using you for pitchfork throwing practice (as a target). So long as no one is trying to stabby stab you, I think that's a thing to be massively grateful for! Is there really any need to sulk around if that's the case...? (I mean yes, but shhhhhh!)

Daffodil ( @shattered-da​​ ) feels sorry for Lillian ( @indic0lite​ ) and frees them from the trap.

Well isn’t that nice! After making some friends, Daffodil still finds time out of their busy, busy day to help Lillian out! Are they friends now? Maybe! I have no idea! At the very least Lillian probably owes Daffodil their life. So play nice you two! And don’t you both go off murdering each other! That would be very sad. Huh. A Daffodil and a Lilly... How quaint. (I have no idea if Lillian is alright with going by ‘Lilly’ or not, but I mean... Flower friends! ALL THE FLOWER FRIENDS! ... Please...?)

Y/N ( @purple-anxiety-blog​ ) tries to kill Seth ( @who-killed-the-da​ ), but Seth retaliates and kills her instead.

After hating this place and looking like she could snap at any second, Braidy decides that it’s finally time to take fate into her own hands and to start doing some murdering! ... Only to immediately fail and die at the hands of the bikini-clad, magical scepter-wielding Seth... I guess she was listening to me and my suggestions from last round... Hm... Sorry about that! My bad! I should probably not give suggestions on who or who not to kill ever again! (Still probably gonna do it anyway tho.)

Dee looks for someone dumb enough to believe them.

Dee, I don’t think that that’s possible. No one here is dumber than you after all! We both have the bad brain baybee! Not even the two idiots right below your action here are too dumb to fall for any tricks you may come up with!

William feels strong enough to handle anything. (Actor) Mark is only looking out for himself.

But Will! Can you handle the narcissistic bastard sitting right next to you who’s seeking to ruin your life!? History says... No. No you can not.

Wilford Warfstache can't wait to kill again...

Uh... Yeah. That makes too much sense for him, really. Sooooo... Uh... People better start running before Warfy decides to do a little more stabby stabbing! I mean, he just killed his temporal bud for having a higher kill count than him! And they were supposed to be friends! Who knows what he’d do to you!

Lillian ( @indic0lite​ ) is looking particularly erratic today.

I mean, after being trapped and almost dying... Yeah, that’s fair. That might cause a little mental (and physical) scarring. You know what? You deserve a break! So go ahead and take the rest of the day off, dear!

Gray ( @without-celine​ ) looks for their next victim...

Jesus Christ! You haven’t even killed anyone yet and yet you’re already clamoring to do some good ol' fashioned murder! Calm the fuck down in there, Damien! We should really stop him, shouldn't we?

Dylan ( @the-mirror-realm​ ) swooshes the air with their sword. Y/N ( @ask-the-mirror-da​ ) is being adorable as always. Rosie ( @lostanddrowned​ ) doesn't care much for this place.

I mean, why would you care about this place...? Who actually wants to be here, right? Don’t we all just want to leave...? Maybe all of this violence amounts to nothing and merely serves to reflect our own relentless desires for self-indulgence. After all, who would revel in violence and death like this? Especially the death of their own characters... NAH! I kid! I’m having a great time! And I know that many of you out there are having a great time too! This isn’t going to be over until it’s over! Besides, you don’t need to worry about anything when you can woosh woosh a sword everywhere! ... Or at least watch someone else woosh woosh their sword in the air! Woosh woosh is fun. Don't you deny!

Celine finds some leather scraps, just enough to patch together some rudimentary clothing. It looks rather caveman-like.

Okay... So Celine has decided to go all savage up in here... Fair enough. Valid way to spend your time. Besides, it’s not like she has a brother who would be embarrassed by or judge her for dressing up like that anymore!

In a fit of frenzy, Veridia ( @ask-the-femaleda​ ) creeps up on Athena (Post-WKM) ( @withjust-a-bite​ ) and slaughters her!

And Veridia’s snapping in round 1 finally pays off! Sorry to see you go, Athena. You made things very dicey for Lillian for a second there and could have been a genuinely terrifying contestant. Better luck next time for both of you! Maybe you should have stuck around Roses and their pitchfork...? At least then your death may have been less gory...? They may have done some stabby stabbing to protect you!

Seth ( @who-killed-the-da​ ) calls arcane fury down on Wilford Warfstache, their ancient scepter beaming with an inner rage. At first, it seems nothing happened, until a light breeze blows Wilford Warfstache away like a pile of old dust.

... Huh... That’s certainly an... Interesting way for Wilford to have gone out... Welp... I guess that Wilf is kinda terrifying forever and always, so it's better that someone dealt with him sooner rather than later (before he earned himself a higher body count)! And as a bonus, that’s one more terrifying sociopath out of the competition! Seth's been very busy lately, haven’t they? They’ve gone from having 1 kill to now having 3! In just one round! Thus usurping Damien’s spot at the top of the murder leaderboard (which he had been sharing with Alice since the start of this round) and claiming the seat for his own! Oh how the tides shift, amiright? And so the bikini-clad, meek cutie’s reign of terror goes on, I suppose!

And that’s round four! Seth is somehow proving to be a very formidable contestant! They do say that you should always be weary of the nice ones... >.> Though there are plenty of tough competitors still out here! Who knows what can/will be happening next? Who lives? Who dies? Who goes on to share these stories? To find out, tune in next time for the next round of the DA Y/N OC Hunger Games!

since ur answering asks and shit can u explain what u meant by generational differences in communication

Damn it’s like 2015 tumblr when my inbox used to be WET. So if you’re talking about the controversial opinions post, YES, like I totally understand where people are coming from when they say that generational divides aren’t real (because they aren’t, they’re arbitrary) and distract us from real problems and yes they paint past generations as collectively bigoted when Civil Rights protestors in the 60s (who are in their 70s and 80s now) are mirrors to BLM protestors today, who could be of any age, but the most vocal and famous (at least online, especially irt to the founders, like Patrisse Cullors who is 37.

But how we communicate is sooooo different. I really point to the Internet and Social Media as a major influence in how younger millennials (more Tom Hollands and less Seth Rogans—see even there, I feel like there are two different types of Millennials) and Gen Zrs/Zoomers and even Generation Alpha behave and communicate. We live in a world where we grew up either knowing right out the gate or discovering the hard way that what we say and do has permanence, the kind of permanence that prior generations have never experienced until today. The dumb things kids have been saying since forever can now follow them... forever. We have an inherent understanding of how online spaces work. Compare that to, idk, let’s say you posted on your Facebook (for the first time in 18 months) “All these big and bad grown ass Senators going after actual child Greta Gerwig lol ok, you’re so brave for attacking a CHILD over climate change” and then your aunt, who’s turning “forty-fifteen” in May replies to your post with “So happy to see my passionate niece! Much love from us, hope you’re doing well. Paul is doing great, waiting on his screening results. Tell your mom I said we miss her, we need to get together, we forgive her for last Christmas.”

Like... ok there’s a lot going on there, but your hypothetical aunt is oversharing on a publicly accessible post. And even with the most strict of privacy settings, she’s oversharing where your other Facebook friends (which may include classmates, coworkers, etc.) can see. But she’s saying things that would only be appropriate in a 1-on-1 conversation. This Aunt doesn’t have an understanding of such boundaries, she’s not as technologically literate and hasn’t grown up in a world of Virtual Space, she still gets most of her news from TV, she trusts what a reporter on Channel 4 will read off a script more than what actual video footage of an incident might reveal on Twitter, and she has no clue that she’s been sharing her location data with every post she makes.

There’s such a huge difference. I think it even affects how we experience and express stress and frustration. I think growing up partially in online spaces has made me more accustomed to conflict and consequence-free arguing than someone who never had to worry about that. I’ve been exposed so much to harassment and bullying, triangulating and echo chambers in forums and threads, and vastly opposing point of views at such an early age that it’s had an effect on how I see the world. Compare this to a customer I helped two weeks ago who was looking for a specific type of supplement for children. I found it for her, I handed her exactly what she was looking for, even though her description of the product actually matched several different products; to make sure I’d done my job thoroughly and that she leaves happy and satisfied and doesn’t bother me again, I then show her more products that match her description so that she knows she has options. And she proceeds to freak out, saying “NO, NO, I’M LOOKING FOR [X] AND IT HAS TO BE [XYZ]” and when I say freak out, she looked stressed and PANICKED. And being a retail employee wears you down bit by bit, and add COVID on top of it and little shit like this makes you snap, sometimes. So I have to cut her off like “Why are you screaming and freaking out, jfc you’re holding what you said you wanted. It’s in your hands. I gave you what you wanted, I’m just showing you more things.”

That customer is not an exception, she’s not a unique case. She’s representative of a frightening percentage of her generation, the kids who watched Grease and The Breakfast Club and Ghost in theaters when they were originally released. This is how they communicate and process information. She could not, for some reason, register that her need had been fulfilled, and defaulted to an extreme emotional response when given new and different information.

I’ve yet to deal with someone younger than 35 act the same way, the exceptions being the kids of very wealthy people at my new job who reek of privilege I gag when they walk in—but even they are like *shrugs* “ok whatever” and understanding when there’s something I can’t do for them.

Me: “sorry, we are totally out of that one in your size, but I can order it for you, it’s 2-3 day shipping at no cost to you and we ship it straight to your house”

A rich, white, attractive 22-year-old who’s had access to organic food, a rigorous dermatologist, and financial security since she was born: “mmm... sure, I’ll order it”

A 47-year-old of any socioeconomic background, of any race, in the same situation: “AHHHHHHHHHHH”

I just think it’s crazy how three generations of kids and young adults raised in a world where everything moves so much faster, where knowledge and entertainment and communication can be gathered so much faster, are often so much more polite and patient and understanding. Yesterday I told an older man (mid-50s) whose native tongue is the same as mine, as clearly and succinct as possible, that what he’s looking for is “in aisle 4.” He proceeded to repeat back, “Aisle 7?” four time before I dropped everything to show him what he needed in aisle 4, despite his insistence that he didn’t need me to walk him there. 4 and 7 sound nothing alike in English. There’s just something going on up there 🧠 that’s different.

Oh, other generational divides!!! We have different approaches to labor and working. Totally different! I’m a “young” millennial where I’m almost Gen Z, and I’ve noticed an awful trend among my demographic where people actually brag about working 90 hour work weeks. Or brag about how they skip breaks and live on-call to get the job done for “the hustle” like this “hustle, become a millionaire by 30″ culture that’s dominated these kids, idk where tf that came from. Like why are you proud of being a wage slave, getting taken advantage of by your millionaire/billionaire overlords. Compare this to my mother’s generation (she’s a borderline Genius X’er, she and her best friend were a year too young to watch Grease when it came out and had a random older woman buy tickets for her; she went to Prince concerts, took photos of him, then sold the photos on buttons at school, that’s her culture and teenage experience), where she’s insistent on her rights and entitlements as an employee, and these things she instilled me: “whatchu mean they didn’t schedule a break for you and you’re working 12 hrs today? oh no, you’re off, don’t answer your phone cuz you are NOT available!” There are Gen X’ers who entered the workforce at a time that America was drifting toward this corporate world, with more strictly defined regulations, roles, and understandings of labor rights (and also, let’s talk about how the 80s there was so much more attention on workplace harassment, misogyny and gender divides in wage gaps, etc. etc... not that much has changed, but at least it was talked about!). There are young people today who are taken advantage of because they aren’t as informed or don’t feel as secure and valuable enough to claim what belongs to them.

At the same time, those generations (Gen X and older) have a different viewpoint of hierarchies in the workplace and respect irt our direct supervisors. That’s how you get this blurring of boundaries between Work Life and one’s Personal Life that leads to common tropes in media written by their generations, where oh no! I’m having my boss over for dinner and the roast beef is still defrosting :O is such a “relatable thing” for them... meanwhile us younger generations are like I don’t even like that you know where I live, and if I see your 2017 Honda Civic pass my place one day, we’re going to have a problem. I think older generations have a different relationship with the word “Respect” than we do. Like, my grandma, who’s turning 87 (?) this year, and the other seniors in my area, they have a different concept of honor and an expectation of professional boundaries that I, and my mom and her generation, just don’t see (so then there’s something in common with Gen X’ers and the rest of us.) My dad grew up in a world where talking and acting like George Bailey and knocking on someone’s door with a big smile could get you a job, a job that could pay for college and rent no problem. My mom grew up in a world that demanded more prestige, where cover letters and references could get you into some cushy jobs if you’re persistent and ballsy enough. And I grew up in a world where potential employers literally don’t see your face when you apply unless they lurk on any social media profiles you have publicly available and they hold all the cards, and you need all those CVs and reference letters just to make minimum wage... so I feel like I am powerless in the face of such employers.

Parenthood

Sooooo, I watched this, and here are some thoughts.

I love Friday Night Lights, so that’s obviously a big reason why I wanted to watch this. I was reading stuff after watching it, and I remembered I had heard about Parenthood before it started when Lauren replaced Maura Tierney. I can’t even imagine how different the show would’ve been, but let’s get to it.

First of all, amazing show. I absolutely adored most of it, I loved the characters, I loved the stories, I loved the people. I loved how it progressively got more FNL, filming wise, as the seasons went on. I’ll break it down by character/couples/siblings:

Julia and Joel: they are the most amazing couple EVER. Erica and Sam had the most amazing chemistry and their little family was my favorite from the get-go. I loved that their marriage was different from the others, as far as they traditionally worked, and how that informed their characters and stories. Sydney’s absolutely lovely, and if people hated her back in the day, their loss. I was absolutely crushed when the pregnancy and adoption didn’t happen, and absolutely thrilled when Victor came around. But TPTB were so cruel with their breakup story, you have no idea how much I hated it. There was that episode where everyone learned that Crosby had cheated on Jasmine and Joel said he’d never cheat on Julia, so when she cheated on him, that was devastating to me. I was also surprised that the show was framing it as “Joel walked away and now Julia can’t forgive him” at a certain point cause I never saw the situation like that so that was really confusing to me. I’ve seen some interviews since, so I get what they meant by it, but I still don’t agree with it. I was just super happy that they got back together and had a big happy ending to their story. 

Adam and Kristina: they were such dorks at times and amazing parents and just good. I loved their dynamic, I was so moved by the cancer story because it felt like TPTB didn’t shy away from telling that as realistically as they possibly could, and it was a lot to take in at times. The scene where they tell everyone that Kristina has cancer was heartbreaking. I loved that they showed that journey and then had Kristina move on without forgetting everything about it. I wish there had been more time to explore Adam’s true passion, work-wise, because I think a lot of adults could relate to just doing something for a living for the sake of getting paid, and it would’ve been nice to see him explore in detail if being a headmaster was what he wanted to do, and how he fit there. 

Crosby and Jasmine: he was such a mess at times, and I kinda enjoyed that but the cheating sure hurt a lot. It was also the fact that Jasmine and Jabbar were so loveable from the beginning, I was just astounded that he’d do anything that’d put that family at risk. I was also pissed at Jasmine for not telling him about the pregnancy and all the hate that brought from her family at the beginning. I was just glad that they got to be reunited. I wish Jasmine had had more to do in the late seasons, IDK if it was due to the actress having other stuff (I’m pretty sure she was hiding a RL pregnancy in the last season), but she was terribly underused.

Sarah and Hank (and Mark): I’m always gonna love Lauren no matter what, and I thought Sarah had such an amazing arc. It wasn’t always entirely convincing as far as jumping careers/boyfriends, but Sarah really grew a lot as a person, and as a mother. I guess people were invested in the different romantic possibilities, and, I mean, Jason’s charming as hell, so I get that, but the moment Mark said he wanted kids, to me, felt like there was no going back, even tho they got back together after. Seth was never really gonna be, it just wasn’t. Hank was an unexpected surprise, his character grew too, and I thought his relationship with Max was adorable and beautiful, so I was kinda happy for Sarah cause they seemed like a good fit.

Zeek and Millie: what lovely parents and grandparents! Like with Jasmine, I wish Millie had had more to do, but I adored the role each played in their family’s lives, and how they portrayed their relationship. I was so sad when they moved and Zeek got sick. I loved that the end had the whole family honoring his wishes, though, and Millie going to France.

Haddie and Alex (and Lauren): Michael B. Jordan as Alex is one of the highlights of my life, basically. I adored Haddie from the first episode, and I was delighted to see her have a relationship completely different than the one she had with Steve. The fact that Michael was playing Alex just took it to another level because he’s an amazing actor like that, and it brought so many good things for Sarah to play. I swear, Alex’s “breakup scene” with Kristina was one of the scenes that made me cry the most. I get that Michael was blowing up and probably had other stuff, but I wish he’d come back at some point because he truly felt like part of the family. I wish we’d seen more of Lauren too, and just Haddie in general in the latter seasons. I loved Haddie’s relationship with Amber and with Max so much, so I wish we’d had more of that, but I also appreciated a show telling a story where a character goes to college and actually goes there, you know?

Amber (and Ryan) and Drew (and Amy): I enjoyed Amber’s and Drew’s journey much like Sarah’s. I thought she had quite a lot to do, and it all felt like it happened at the right time. Her beginning was a bit rocky, but she got to evolve as far as the relationship with her parents and with her boyfriends go. I didn’t love the Steve part, at all. Ryan, on the other hand, I mean, Matt Lauria can do no wrong, and they were lovely together, but not in an endgame kinda way, so I was really glad when they parted ways. I have to say tho, the whole sex in the hospital part, just to create the pregnancy storyline, that was lame, like, terribly so. I love that Mae was a huge FNL fan and she was living the life while working with former FNL actors. Drew had a little less, but he also got to shine quite a bit, and the fact that the character was much more quiet than most of the rest helped make those moments stand out. I’m really glad that this show told the story of an abortion, I was so glad for it and the girl who plays Amy got to shine as well.

Sydney and Victor: these two, I swear, I loved them so fucking much. Like, Syd was just adorable and the episode where she left the house, I was laughing-crying, it was so lovely! And then Victor came along and I just loved him too, so, so much!!!

Max: he’s like, I don’t know where to start! His story was incredible, the actor was so amazing cause, in paper, he could’ve gone one-note and get away with it, but he did so much more than that. Some of the most emotional moments for me where Max-related because every little bit of development he had felt like such an achievement. I adored his friendship with Hank, it was so beautiful to see that develop (ha!) and how, like Hank said, they both learned so much from each other.

I think it was the interactions between the different characters that made the show strong, and everyone had A Moment. The first three seasons were the best at that, at having characters collide and relate in different and interesting ways. Like, Crosby being there when Kristina gave birth, whenever Amber had to babysit her cousins, Joel helping Crosby with the house and bonding with Jasmine about not being a Braverman, and such. The show fell a little when the characters were more confined to their own bubble later on, and there was a bit of too much of the same dynamics, or at least it felt that way to me. Like, I think The Luncheonette was a box that the writers couldn’t navigate properly, it didn’t allow for Crosby and Adam to do much without the other, and was partly to blame for the lack of Jasmine too.

Overall, I absolutely loved a lot of what the show had to offer, and while I’m late, I’m glad I’ve finally gotten around to watching it and knowing the Braverman family.

Quick thoughts on Smackdown

Meant to do this yesterday but I was sooo tired. Guys, I haven’t had a day off since Easter. This is day 12 in a row on a 21 day straight work spree. Sooooo tired.

1. The opening segment didn’t work me for. Last week we were left with the image of KO betraying Kofi and Xavier and leaving Xavier possibly injured. This week the first thing we see is Kofi happily tossing pancakes around then we get yet another recap of his Mania win. I know New Day is all about the positivity but where was the outrage? He got a little angry as he challenged KO to a match at MiTB but I think it would have worked better if they’d flipped it around. Had Kofi come out angry and had Cole try to calm him down with the recap.

2. With the recap, I don’t think it’s doing Kofi any favours to be recapping the events of his win three weeks later. His victory was huge, he deserves every bit of it, but continuing to talk so much about it doesn’t let him move on to define his championship reign and what it’s going to be remembered as.

3. The only way I’m alright with Bayley losing back to back weeks against Charlotte and Becky is if there’s a plan for her. Charlotte and Becky are elite so losing to them isn’t really a knock on Bayley, but it’s not a good way to build Bayley up to their level. Unless they have a plan.

4. It really didn’t take them long to start the whole Roman overcomes everything stuff on Smackdown. Do they not remember that pushing him and him overcoming all the odds turned a good part of the crowd against him on RAW? It worked slightly because it was The B-Team, who have never been built as a threat, and Elias, who only occasionally gets to show that he has wrestling ability. But with it being those three, it shouldn’t take Roman as long as it did to put them away. If they want to put Roman in these situations, let him just be a total badass. Superman punch Bo out of the ring, spear Curtis, if Elias interferes in the count, he can eat a Superman Punch too, spear Curtis again, 1-2-3 in under a minute.

5. I didn’t like them announcing Becky as The Woman who made history at Wrestlemania bit. Yes she did, but the more attention they draw toward her holding both Women’s titles also draws attention to how weak the Women’s division has been built up beyond the three women who were in that Wrestlemania match. Plus it still reminds me of how RAW introduces Baron Corbin.

6. The closing segment was pretty similar to RAW’s in a lot of ways. No contract to sign but it had a brawl everyone was expecting, one guy standing tall, future set-up. We did finally get angry Kofi chasing KO off so that was good. I liked Corey’s line that KO gave Kofi something else to fight for because he’s right. Xavier and Big E are the reasons Kofi finally got his chance at Wrestlemania(kayfabe wise of course) so now Kofi will avenge them against KO. KO/Kofi, AJ/Seth will be the two most interesting feuds heading into MiTB.

[things-i-will-never-say-2-you]

One Saturday night in July (21-18)

I had another dream about you again. GOD, how long has it been since I have even thought of your name. My brother brought you up one day, that little shit. Anyways, I think I dreamt about you because my aunt told me that she didn’t even want me to think about marrying Mitchell because she dated two guys for 4 years each until she met Seth.....but Seth was there all along¿ but what if I...I just found my one after you broke my heart? Did I learn enough from you???? Hell no. We were like 4th graders in that relationship. But the thing I got to thinking about that day is why you left, and why you’re still angry. Like I don’t care that you left (now) because obviously I’ve upgraded tremendously...(no offense) and I love him so dearly. But there’s a pain in my heart and an urge for perfection and I HATE when I just fuck everything up and I don’t want to do it again. Like god yeah I was kinda a bitch, but why can’t we be adults and you be approachable when I reached out a year later. Obviously didn’t go all roses and peaches for me when you broke my heart....but I’m glad you did I fucking woke up. Thing is, I’ve always been so attached to people. And right now I’m just so incredibly fucking attached to Mitchell. Like god, I mean great I’m so into him, and I thought I figured out how to be on my own and I did for a while. But I just lost it again. First night in two weeks (vacation) that I’m not sleeping right not sleeping next to him and I’m going nuts. I’ve about convinced myself to take a bottle of liquor to the park and take shots on the swings....but I decided I’m lazy and it’s too far of a walk. But seriously, I need to let it go. ......why am I so side tracked....anyways like I need to let you go and all the explanations. I had a dream that we were at the high school again when I ran into you at my brothers graduation...and you agreed to talk. I felt like I was finally getting closure but I’ve had these dreams before and why do they keep happening I’m so ducking over you and yet that Samantha that was with you was so toxic that I’m just afraid I’ll get there again...and it haunts me. I just don’t want to mess things up with him. We were once in a toxic place last December and I thought it was over and I did some really stupid stuff because of that. And now it haunts me, he knows and I feel like it hangs over my head sometimes because the world doesn’t know, but some do but they tell it the wrong way....and now people at work don’t like me because of false rumors...but you know I’m trying to let that go because I was not in a good mindset....being controlled in a relationship was not good and I was just trying to call out, and I did and not in a good way and it’s fine. And now me and him are better and we are on the same Page....but what if he thinks I’m controlling or what if he doesn’t want me anymore or finds someone better and I’m crying for no fucking reason because I hate being home. When I’m in Lincoln I can escape from all of this....so many “parties” to forget he lives an hour away doing god knows what. I know he’s loyal, but the devil inside my head tells me what if one day he’s not. And that and that is just what kills me. And you know sometimes he lies....like that fucking Hannah chick I hate her (back story she has literally tried to steal him from me MULTIPLE times) but now she’s just trying to be his friend. (LIES) and I told him I don’t feel comfortable when he texts her back and yet I just saw the texts from back and forth from the beginning of the vacation and I’m about to lose it. He doesn’t tell me or tells me she hasn’t texted just so an argument doesn’t start, well GOOD NEWS THIS IS WORSE NOW. but other than her like we have been the best we’ve been like ever. I really think this could be the time we’re meant to be together forever. If I could just stop being a maniac all the time that would be helpful because my brain just ruins everything for me. I literally have voices in my head that tell me the worse outcomes and I secretly fucking cry all the time because I’m making myself crazy but that’s okay. And I get off topic and should have started a whole new post for this topic but here it is KOLBY, I’m ducking insane. You were right. Congrats. You really struck out on that one. Oh also love my body on how it plays mind games on me and makes me 4 pounds heavier and period 9 days late so I think I’m pregnant. FALSE, tests negative and period came today....congrats I’m just stressed. AWESOME. Obviously you don’t unstress when you’re late so it will NEVER come.... but woot not a mom. (Was excited for 6 seconds Bc I love kids, but then had 9 mental breakdowns on how I hate babies sooooo) we’re good. I don’t even know why I was freaking out my birth control is 99 percent effective but I thought you know I’m already fucked up why don’t I just cut the odds and be that 1 percent-er!!!!!! Woot. Anyways he’s off in Wisconsin this week for a work trip and there’s going to be hot business girls there so here’s to blogging my feelings away so I don’t drink my feelings away. I didn’t drink tonight :) oh off topic but I haven’t been able to drink a lot lately....like even if I want to it’s been like 2 drinks casually with people but that’s it. So it’s all in my mind.....I just can’t seem to want to get fucked up...... def will change in the school year. Anyway thanks for listening to my rant, you always knew when to shut up and listen 😂. Writing my feelings definitely makes me feel crazy but at least I’m more relaxed. (Ps Mitchell landed on my head tubing and my neck is completely stiff and in pain and I might have another concussion....but have to go to work on Monday so wish me luck.....my mom thinks I’m over reacting...oh sure)

You (Matt x MC - some Seth)

[Summary: When Seth makes another appearance, jealousy – the green-eyed monster – rears its ugly head in the middle of Matt and Veronica’s new relationship. Can they talk it out? And what does this mean for their future together? Shout out to @thesupernaturaldoctorat221b for pressing me to write more about how Matt and Veronica deal with the whole jealousy thing.]

[Word Count: 2505]

Veronica placed one foot, then the other, into her heels and adjusted the straps of her dress. Glancing in the mirror, one more time, she put a final layer of gloss on her lips, then pressed them together to distribute the light tint evenly.  Slowly, she stepped away from the mirror in her bathroom and went to check her reflection in the full-length mirror on the inside of her closet door.  

Self-consciously she smoothed her hands over the tight material of her black and gold dress. The dress was covered in gold geometric sequin designs.  The sleeves were short and almost capped, with an open back.  She questioned whether it was too tight for her frame, or not long enough for her tall legs.  A part of her wanted to call Matt immediately and tell him something, anything, to get her out of meeting him tonight.  She could tell him she’s sick; or that she has food poisoning…

A knock on the front door quickly put a stop to these thoughts as she glanced at the clock on her bedroom wall to check the time.  Confused, she wrinkled her brow and went to the front door.  Before opening it, she skimmed the area of her living room and kitchen, making sure everything was picked up and looking semi-decent.  There was only so much she could do to make this tiny, old, junky apartment look nice. Taking a deep breath inward, she opened the door and put on her best smile.

“You’re a little early but guess what! I’m re-“ She stopped in her tracks realizing it wasn’t Matt.

“Whoa. I-O-WA.”

Seth couldn’t cover up the fact that he scanned her from top to bottom.  Veronica looked amazing. Her hair. That dress.  Those legs. He knew he had been attracted to her before, when she was in plain Jane clothes, but seeing her all dolled up like this made his breath catch and his throat itch.  

“Oh come on.” Veronica rolled her eyes, and tried to keep the color from rising to her cheeks. “It’s nothing. This is nothing.”

She scratched at her arm, absentmindedly, looking at the floor. Both of them stood in uncomfortable silence in the doorway of her apartment.

“I…uh...” Seth stammered, finally making eye contact with her.  “…wanted to see if you had plans tonight. I haven’t seen you in a while and wondered if you were up for a cold one and some roof time.”

The end of his sentence hung out in the air for what felt like an eternity.  Veronica was a little confused. Seth was usually so jovial, so happy-go-lucky, so laid back…but something was different this time.  He was serious. His eyes seemed to be staring into Veronica’s soul, or looking right through her, one of the two.

“I wish I could.” She politely replied.  “Matt is coming to pick me up soon and we are going out tonight, but maybe tomorrow?”

Seth’s face grew concerned. “Do I hear water running?”

He craned his head towards her apartment.  

“I’m not trying to get into your business, but that’s the sink, right?”

Veronica nodded.  “You can come in.  It’s the stupid faucet. It’s been dripping for days and maintenance hasn’t been able to come take a look at it yet. I’ve called about it several times, but they obviously don’t care. Not that I’m surprised…”

She shrugged and pointed towards the sink as she closed the door behind Seth. 

“That’s more than a drip.” He snickered upon entering the apartment. “That’s a straight up leak. I could hear it in the hallway!”

He studied the faucet for a few minutes and then slammed his hands playfully down onto the counter.

“I can fix this. Let me grab my tools and I’ll be right back.” He walked toward the door, and left it open as Veronica called out to him.

“Oh, Seth, you really don’t have to.” She wrung her hands, getting nervous.  

Matt would be here any minute and she felt like she needed a little time alone to prepare herself. But, this was Seth. Her good friend, steady companion, Seth.  Maybe it would do her some good to not think about her date and focus on something else for the next few minutes.

Within seconds, Seth was back in her apartment, working on the sink.  Veronica hopped up on the counter to watch him work. They made idle chit chat about the projects they had been working on.  Veronica told him all about her botched first day on the set of Tender Nothings, and the crazy retreat that Markus made them participate in.

“Joshua Tree is nice though.” Seth said, using a wrench to twist off the base of the faucet where it connected to the sink.

“Have you been?” Veronica asked him, swinging her legs from side to side, as they dangled over the edge of the counter.

“No.” Seth laughed.  

Veronica laughed with him, just as a shot of water went astray and aimed at the door.  Matt showed up right about the same time, but was able to dodge the stream effectively. He smiled seeing Veronica all dressed up, but swiftly changed his tune upon seeing Seth again.

The last time he had seen her neighbor, he had created a little rift between him and Veronica. Not wanting their night to start on a bad note, he worked hard to keep his cool and remain composed.  After all, he was the one Veronica was going out with tonight.  He had the upper hand.

Instantly, Veronica hopped off the counter and pulled down her dress. She was barefoot and cursed herself mentally for not being more prepared or ready for Matt to arrive. She didn’t feel ready enough. Her hair didn’t go with her dress, she should have worn the green one, her make up was too natural –

her head swirled and she soon found herself in Matt’s arms as he brought her to him and kissed her on the cheek.

“Hey, beautiful.” He said with a smile.

“Hi.” She whispered, looking up at him from beneath her lashes.  

She didn’t care that she was blushing in his presence. There was something about him that was so natural, so secure, so sturdy and strong, she lost track of everything when she was with him; every insecurity, every worry, vanished. She wanted him to know how she felt about him.  

“Sorry about that.” Seth chuckled, wiping off his hands with a towel.  “We’ve got some rogue spray going on over here.” He motioned to the faucet that was still dripping, but not as bad as it was before.

“Thanks for your help, Seth. We should probably be going…” Veronica sighed, running a hand through her hair and then regretting it. She had spent hours taming her curls and hoped that simple act hadn’t just undone her work.

“Let me just grab my heels.” She laughed nervously as she bent down to pick them up off the floor of the kitchen. She had kicked them off when she jumped up on the counter and they were laying askew.

As she leaned over to slip her feet into the tall shoes, both Seth and Matt were staring at her. Her perfectly pedicured feet, her long tan legs, their eyes travelled the length of her body from the short hemline of her dress to the curve of her hips, the indention of her waist, the bend of her breasts, her gently protruding collarbone along with the plumpness of her full lips, her hazel eyes and her curly blonde hair.  That was her. There she was. Veronica Jean Morgan.

Both men knew the other was looking her up and down.  They exchanged a quick glance at the competition, when the other wasn’t looking.

“I’ll uh, stay here and finish this.  That way you won’t have to deal with it tomorrow.  You guys have fun!” Seth waved with the wrench and went back to working on the sink, putting his head down, not wanting to watch her leave with him.

“Thank you, Seth. I really appreciate it! See you tomorrow!”  Veronica called out to him as they left her apartment.

Matt had only said two words while inside, but his heart was racing.  He wanted to tell Seth to back off. He wanted to make it known to him that Veronica was his.  Who did this guy think he was? Just walking into her apartment? Hanging out even after she had left? Fixing her sink?

“Sorry about that.” Veronica slid her hand into his and leaned her head on his shoulder as they walked down the stairs and out to Matt’s car.

“You look handsome.” She smiled up at him.

“You look…amazing.” He kissed her quickly and then opened the car door for her.

For their date, Matt had gotten them a private table at an upscale Italian restaurant in town, and then the two of them were driving out to the country for a showing of a classic movie at a drive-in theater.  

For some reason, throughout the evening, Veronica seemed a little tired and Matt seemed distracted. After they arrived at the drive-in, and secured their parking spot, Veronica cuddled into Matt’s side and closed her eyes, already feeling as though she could drift off to sleep.

Matt stared out the window, his chin resting in his hand as he searched for the right way to bring up her relationship with Seth.  He rubbed his chin and bit the inside of his cheek before spitting it out the only way he knew how.

“Seth likes you. You know that, right?”

Veronica’s eyes shot open. She didn’t answer right away but slowly sat up in the passenger seat and looked at Matt with surprise and correction.

“No, he doesn’t.” She shook her head.  “I think it’s cute that you are sooooo jealous of him, though.”

She raised an eyebrow and smirked at him, reaching for his tie and pulling him closer to her.

“Veronica. I’m serious.” Matt responded, pulling away from her a little bit.

“You’re right.  I’m jealous.” He answered, returning his gaze out the driver-side window.  “…but I think I have a right to be.”

Veronica sighed heavily. “He’s just a friend, Matt. I promise. We’ve never so much as kissed!” She defended.

“Doesn’t matter. I see the way he looks at you.” Matt explained, turning to face her.

“What does that even mean?!”

“He looks at you the way I look at you, Veronica. Do you really not see it? You still don’t get it, do you?”

Matt had never really been this serious with Veronica before.  She knew not to press him. The tension in his Toyota was increasing with every breath. She didn’t want to make him mad, but wouldn’t back down from being honest with him and with herself.

“I also see the way he looks at me. Like I’m the enemy.  He’s just as jealous of me as I am of him.”

He sighed, closed his eyes tight and appeared to be searching his mind hard for the right words and phrases to explain all of this to her.

“You’re the good girl. The sweet girl. The girl from the Midwest who just showed up on everyone’s doorstep and wowed them through and through, Veronica.  You’re still pure and unjaded by this crazy place. You’re honest. Sincere. Kind.  The complete opposite of 90% of the people in this town.  And those are just some of the many reasons why you’re so insanely attractive.”

His eyes sparkled as he opened them again and found her staring back at him.  She seemed so small, so fragile, sitting silently in the passenger seat, hanging on Matt’s every word.  Veronica was holding her breath and reached across the console to grab Matt’s hand, hoping she could keep her eyes from filling with tears.

“The qualities you possess are not ones you find every day.  Top that all off with your smokin’ hot body, your wicked sense of humor, your natural talent and…well…damn…” He grinned. “What are us guys supposed to do?”

Relieved she lifted her hand to Matt’s cheek and pulled him in for a gentle kiss, resting her forehead against his and keeping her eyes closed. Her hand was across his jawline, her fingertips in his hair. She wanted to memorize this moment.  He really wanted her.  The real her. All of her.  And she wanted him.

“That’s not some line from a movie?” She asked, opening her eyes and looking at him for a brief second.

Matt shook his head.

“Seth is great.” She sighed. “He’s really been there for me and helped me through my transition to LA. I couldn’t have made it without him.”

Matt pulled away from her a little bit, concern covering his face once again.

Slowly, using one foot and then the other, Veronica kicked off her heels on the floor of the passenger side of the car.  She turned to face Matt and kissed him, softly biting his lower lip and bringing his face to hers with both of her hands.

Using the flexibility that she learned in dance class all her life, she promptly extended her leg over Matt’s lap and hoisted herself on top of him. Her short skirt had now hiked up even higher along her thigh as she pressed her hips as close as possible to his. She giggled to herself thinking about the special bra and panties she bought just for this dress, this date, tonight.

Leaning into him and pushing her chest tightly against his, she again reached for his tie and pulled him by the neck, to her lips again.  Running her tongue over them and then using it to press them open, she tasted him and knew without a doubt she wanted more.

“But he’s not you.” She whispered breathlessly into his ear, running her fingernails slowly along the back and then the side of Matt’s neck.

“It’s as simple as that.”

Matt smiled against her lips as she went in for another kiss.

“I’m not sure I believe you…” He questioned, whispering in her ear now.

“I think I need some more convincing.”

She laughed a throaty, sexy, deep laugh that conveyed how natural she felt around him and how easy it was for her to be herself in his presence.  

He ran his hands along her legs from her ankles to her hips and adjusted her more tightly to his lap.

“Well you’re in luck. I was told just a few days ago in an audition that I needed to work on being more believable.  You can help me practice.”

Matt wrapped his arms around her small frame and flattened his body against hers, inhaling her with every breath and working hard to imprint every feeling of her into his mind. He had never wanted anyone this much.  He held onto her as tight as he could, hoping that she knew he was never planning to let her go.

Extreme Rules 2017

ALSO IM GOING TO TALK ABOUT EXTREME RULES AND MY THOUGHTS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE TYPING. (my thoughts might be jaded because I'm just in the worst mood idek man) Apollo Crews vs Kalisto was a really good match and it made me so happy to see that they let the kickoff guys have a good match and that the crowd was into it. The Miz vs Dean Ambrose, I really liked their Raw match better tbh, Miz and Dean are good enough (and really good together) to have a regular match on Raw and make it extremely good. I didn't really like all the shenanigans of the match, even though a Miz match always has some type of shenanigans, I feel like this match was way too predictable for any of the disqualification spots to leave anyone really interested. When Maryse slapped Dean on Smackdown a couple months back, THAT WAS A GOOOD DISQUALIFICATION SPOT. I did like Maryse slapping Miz though and overall it was a good match, with a shitty finish. (I wanted Miz to win but the ref acting like he was going to end the match, only to go back into the ring right when Miz pinned him was ????) Noam Dar & Alicia Fox vs Rich Swann & Sasha Banks, I really liked this match, it was predictable, but I loved the hometown pop for Swann and I love that cruiserweights and women outside of the title picture were allowed to have a moment on the show. Alexa Bliss vs Bayley, I had no problem with this match honestly, (until) I thought Bayley getting hit with the Kendo Stick repeatably and then make a John Cena esc return would've been great and would've allowed Bayley to somewhat regrow her fan base (she got loud boos tonight??? can you believe it /: Raw really fucked her over honestly, she went from being the most over woman to what she is now and it sucks), but then Alexa hit her with a DDT and got the 1,2,3 after like? 4 minutes I think? like, what? what era are we in? I was for sure Bayley was going to kick out and get some shots in before Alexa beat her. The match was only Kendo Stick shots, with literally one Bayley to belly and a DDT, which sucks because they had a great wrestling match in NXT and they haven't been able to show what they can do as a pair in the ring yet. Bayley is so going to suffer from this and it makes me really mad, Bayley was supposed to steal the show with Sasha at Summerslam but she's probably going to get treated like any other women on Raw was treated for months, and be in catering for 3 hours. Other than Charlotte at Raw, Bayley hasn't been allowed to have the good wrestling matches she was known for in NXT, which is really stupid in my opinion, when you consider (I love them but) she's had super matches with Alexa, Carmella, and Nia in NXT when all 3 aren't known for having good matches, and that has to say something as to how good Bayley actually is. She was always put in really strange matches with Nia, tag team matches every other week, Sasha interfering for no reason??? which was never explained, and a fatal four-way at mania which deserved more time, you don't get over that way. ( Bayley vs Alexa at Payback was one of her best on the main roster though) Sheasaro (Sheamus & Cesaro) vs The Hardy's (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy), IDK I LIKED THIS MATCH, but I feel like the steel cage wasn't a good fit for this match, it was a good match, but it really relied on the huge spots to make it feel better, although that dive Jeff took was insane. I love Sheasaro but I don't know if Raw really knows what to do with their tag division ATM which sucks because they Sheasaro, The Club, Hardy Boys, The Revival (who are the face teams on that roster anymore???) (Enzo and Cass are soon to be gone) /////////: I already spoke about the Cruiserweight match Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe vs Bray Wyatt vs Roman Reigns, A GREAT MATCH, but it left me extremely worried about Seth's knee like, he had his padding up and it really scared me, I hope he's okay. I don't really like how after getting the living shit best out of him for weeks by Braun, Roman is now a killing machine who can take out 4 men at once, it feels like WWE is just milking the hate from people and giving them a reason to believe he's overpushed when he's smacking everyone out of the ring, idk I really like his new vicious attitude in singles bouts like Seth and Finn, it's a lot better than what he used to be, but it seems overdone when it's against like 2 almost 300 pounders. BRAY WAS SOOOOO OVER, I hope they don't ruin the momentum he has, probably the most over guy in that match. I love that they're keeping the demon for only special occasions, and I'll love it even more if the build up to The Demon King Finn Balor vs Brock is Brock underestimating Finn for his size and once the demons out Brock is just like SHOOK. it'd be epic. I hope Seth is okay/:, that man risks so much in his matches and it's not fair his knee always has to be a thing of worry. JOE JOE JOE JOE, this was literally the first time an arena actually cared for Joe, THEY SUNG HIS NAME WHEN HE CAME OUT!!, and it just made me so happy, he deserves the win considering he hasn't been booked in the best of light since his debut and he was the back burner of a feud for the first month of his WWE career. I can't wait for Brock Lesnar vs Samoa Joe. Overall, I'm not really sure if I liked it, Extreme Rules just, isn't my thing, I kept finding myself saying "oh wow but Dean and Miz had a great wrestling match the other day without the shtick" (same for Sheasaro/Hardy's Bayley/Alexa and Neville/Aries) but I think the main problem with the ppv is that Raw doesn't do anything with their roster before and after ppvs to make the matches seem like something special. (idk if it's just me though, also a lot of typos and grammatical errors but I woke up a 7 today and I'm sleeeeeep)

Susie watches “Scroll of the Demodragon”

I thought I’d do a reaction post like @all-things-tmnt  for some of the episodes of the final season of TMNT. I’ve loved this series; I don’t think it’ll take the place of 03 in my heart, but it’s been a solid series overall and I’m sorry that it’s ending. That said, I’m glad it’s not being dragged out so it gets stale.

Welp, let’s get started with the first episode of the final season! Many thanks to @redworld96 for her effort in getting these episodes to us asap. We love you!

So we open an unspecified time after the previous episode. Wonder how long it's been?

I'd forgotten how much I'd missed this sewer set. In recent episodes we haven't spent much time in the sewer and I've really missed it.

"CASEY!" "Sorry, dude." Heheheh. Classic dialogue.

Sooooo these new enemies kinda look like demonic ETs.

It's quite unusual for Raph to want to run from a fight. Just saying.

My God I LOVE this new opening. Silhouettes, instrumental (I wasn't a fan of the theme song). And April and Karai shown fighting together YES PLEASE I'VE WANTED THAT FOR YEARS.

I love these scenes of them just chilling in the Lair. I know it hasn’t been a long hiatus, but I’ve really missed these guys. Maybe that’s because I know this is the final season.

HOLY CRAP LEO FANBOY ALERT.

Oh, I love this. Don't get me wrong, I liked that Leo gradually stopped using all those silly catchphrases and became more competant as a leader - that's great character development. But we haven't seen him fanboy out like this for a LONG time and I've missed it so much. He reminds me so much of myself in these moments.

Also, I love how incredibly natural Seth makes his fanboying sound - because Seth is also a fanboy, so he knows where Leo is coming from. Did I mention I love Seth Green as Leo?

"These are from the early 90s--" Hey, I'm from the early 90s, Donnie-- "But most of the tapes were put in a landfill because the show was deemed too disturbing for kids." IS THAT A FREAKIN' ET REFERENCE!?

BAHAHAHA I LOVE THE STNG RECREATION (that show was my childhood)

I thought they were going to have Patrick Stewart guest star for a moment - but it's just a bald Captain Ryan

LEO FANBOYING.

"It's making my eyeballs melt with joy, I LOVE this cartoon!" Leo, you are making my heart melt with joy. I LOVE this cartoon!

Annnnd the drama comes in to spoil our fun.

Pfft and Casey hijacks the story

MISSION COMMENCES LET'S GO.

We're back in the sewers set again (Yessssss) and I love the guys clearly setting out a plan

Also, did they find a landfill full of Furbys because I swear that's what those sensors are made from

April using her powers appreciation bullett

Unusual teamup of Leo and Mikey appreciation bullett

Is that a freakin' Pentagram?

THESE THINGS ARE CREEPY AS HELL

Leo being a badass appreciation bullet

But not too much, heh

MIKEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOU???

Oh, thank goodness.

"You OK, little brother?" FEELS. "Not really." MORE FEELS.

Side note: They just dislocated Leo's freakin' arm holy crap

Part 2!

I love when they deal with injuries in a realistic manner. I know this is a silly kids show about walking talking turtles, but a realistic touch is always welcome.

Dang, Leo just shrugged off a dislocated shoulder. He's strong as steel.

Raph makes a good point. Remember what happened last time you went off and didn’t call for help, little lion?

"Sounds like the perfect candidate for 'I'm the boss of a freaky cult!'" I love Mikey when he's being smart

HEHEH FORESHADOWING GHOSTBUSTERS MIKEY.

Btw, are demodragons a real mythological thing, I wonder?

Annnd we're in the dojo, and I like how the display has changed, since they left a lot of Splinter's personal items at the farmhouse.

Animation on Leo's freakin' face appreciation bullett.

I dunno about you guys, but I'm OK with them keeping Splinter around as a spirit. This is my favourite version of Splinter and any excuse we have to see more of him is welcome to me.

That said, that's pretty vague advice, Splinter. But hey, he could just be a figure of Leo's mind. That's possible too. The only person who can really make the choices here is you, Leo.

AAHHHHHH THE PICTURE IS OF LITTLE TURTLE TOTS THEY WERE SO ADORABLE OMG

Badass team travelling montage appreciation bullet

I love how the team has been working together this episode. Makes them seem really competant and in-sync.

That random bit of subtle animation on Leo's face appreciation bullet. For some reason I really love that.

Also, this is a far cry from his overly-complex hand signals back in the premiere. Remember those? And Raph's "I don't know what that means!" Good times.

CREEPY ET THINGS.

Hi Tiger Claw!

Omg appreciation bullet for that moment where they all look at Leo and he hesitates. See, I wish this show would have more subtle moments like that.

Errr... think this plan could use some work, Leo.

OK, I love how they're actually handicapping April's powers. That's a refreshing feature.

Oh, so these creature things aren't transformed humans. That's a relief. That'd be pretty dark.

Love the animation on Tiger Claw for that closeup. The animation has got so freakin' good.

HI MARK HAMILL.

It's nice that we have a brand new villain for TMNT.

COMMENCE ACTION SCENE HERE WE GO.

Mikey, pizza is not a peace commodity, sorry.

Right out of the starting gate, Kavaxas is badass. He just walks through them.

OMG HE JUST SHATTERED LEO'S SWORDS THAT IS A BIG DEAL.

OMG, APRIL SAVE THEM.

He wants to EAT them? That’s dark

I love how they're handicapping April's power.

Wtf Tiger Claw, didn't you just tell him to destroy them? Never mind.

I liked that final conversation between the team. They're crestfallen, but not absolutely trodden down, and they're immediately looking for another solution. Again, it shows them using their brains.

Bottom line? I LOVED this episode. If the others in this season are as good, it'll be one hell of a final season. Everyone was in-character and competant, there were lots of subtle moments that I loved, and Kavaxas? He's a badass. Like I said, it's great to have a brand-new villain instead of just adapting an old one. I mean it doesn't always work (Winters and the monsters in 07 being an example), but it's refreshing, and I love Kavaxas.

Here’s to Season 5!

GBOF – Review

When we ignore the stupid name of the PPV this PPv was actually quite good. There were a lot of awesome matches and it kind of got better the longer you were watching it. How WWE did that I don’t know and I so hope whoever scripted that will continue his work at RAW so that will get a descend show again.

I’m really happy. I can’t believe it.

Match of the night was properly the Iron- Man match. But the aftermath of the Roman vs Braun was also Awesome. Just watch this PPV.

I kind of like that there were more Interview’s this time at the Kick-off show and not so much talk over talk about something that we all already know.

1. Neville vs. Akira Tozawa (with Titus O'Neil) (Kickoff Match)

I really hoped they would put this match in the Main show, but no luck for my hopes. L

It was a great match like mostly every Cruiserweight match, when WWE let them show off. The end wasn’t that satisfying but Neville won. So no further complains there and no surprises either.

2.  Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt

This matchup was actually a perfect opening match and they got even some time to build it. I somehow can’t believe that Bray really won, who could have predicted that (hahaha). Even though, through the poke to the eye, but he is heel so stop complaining. Poor Seth though. The match was great and Bray looked like an evil maniac like he should with his creepy laughing and all that. But Seth always sells his matches like the pro he is, so nothing else to expect. I kind of like the Idea that there will be more of those two.

But Seth’s new “finisher” the spinning knee or whatever it is called, is so NOT a FINISHER!!! I get why they are doing it because of his injury and all that, but that doesn’t make the move any better.

3.  Enzo Amore vs. Big Cass

I just love Enzo’s mic skills, it is always awesome. He is a savage. Cass’s new entrance music is odd, something is just not right.

Poor Enzo got thrown around and beat up like hell. But I like the fact that he came somehow back to his feet and didn’t get counted out.  Well Cass won anything else wouldn’t have made sense.

4. Cesaro and Sheamus vs. The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy)

What a start off a match. WTF! And I love all those teasing of the broken character. This match was sooooo AWESOME!  The build-up the pin falls the pace. Just everything. Sooooo good!!!

But do I have to say something about that Sheamus pinned the Hardys 2 times and Cesaro is the one who gets pinned by Jeff 2 times. At least Cesaro got the winning pin. If not I would have been mad.  Cesaro is the MVP here, he saved Sheamus like 10 times and got Matt counted out.

5.  Alexa Bliss vs. Sasha Banks

Yeah shame on me. I totally forgot this match in my predictions. I’m sorry. But maybe is the reason I forgot it is that Raw really has a sh*t Women’s Division right now. And it is not the Women’s fault just so you know WWE creative team.

What a hell of a match. They show that Raw should do something about their Women’s Division and not only have like the champ and the challenger. This was a thing of beauty even though Alexa let her self-counted out but hell who cares if we get more of those kinds of matches. And Alexa did it again. That is so creepy with her arm. Though Sasha and her spine are creepy, too. How can she bend that way and isn’t injured after that.

With out a doubt one of the best match of Alexa.

6. The Miz (with Maryse, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel) vs. Dean Ambrose

I don’t know what to say. Again Miz wins because of interferences, why can’t they just have a normal and clean match so that this feud can get to an end. Now Dean Ambrose will get again a rematch with a stipulation that the Miztorage can’t be there or something like that. But that’s what I said from the beginning so this will go on and on. When this feud ends this year I would be shocked.

7. Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman

So I was right and the match was way better than I feared it would be. And the end was hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing even though they were still beating the crap out of each other and a car crash. WTF!!!! hahahaha!!! Somehow this feud got really great. This is so not over. I don’t even know if that is now a good thing or not.

I just love how Roman is now this angry beast who just doesn’t give a f*ck anymore. Roman you Savage!

But can we please talk about how the crowd boos Roman and scream Roman sucks and then say like 5 minutes later this is awesome. I take this heat against Roman just as a troll or something I don’t know. Just like they cheer “you suck”, when Kurt Angle music hits.

That face Roman made when Braun didn’t care that he was hit by a chair was perfect. I need a GIF of that and when Braun lifted him up in front of the Ambulance. You can’t say he is not doing a good job to let Braun look ridiculous strong, when he gets thrown around like a pillow.

8. Heath Slater vs. Curt Hawkins

Do I have to say something to this match we didn’t even see the end of it. But well at least they had fun?

9. Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) vs. Samoa Joe

You just knew sh*t was going to go down, because Heyman never came in to the ring. But hell yeah I love it when Brock gets beat up. Sorrynotsorry.  This was just a brutal brawl. And that was everything we wanted, but WHY THE HELL didn’t Samoa Joe win. I can’t stand Brock anymore. Oh and those commentators talking sh*t about that Brock is a fighting Champion. Oh please in which universe.
