#t watches megalopolis

[raskies456]

still thinking about this fuckign film unfortunately. not even gonna call it a movie bc it’s more like a bunch of scenes in a trench coat cinched together with random quotes from philosophers as an excuse for dialogue and the plot and message is so deeply obfuscated as to be nonexistent, which is probably good bc at the core it’s just your ‘Misunderstood Genius with a Vision that No One Understands’ plus social commentary that is completely neutered by attempting to make it general and completely apolitical. I hate how interesting it is to think about on a meta level bc it is fundamentally a nothing burger not worth bothering with under a veneer of great art direction and experimental cinematography and incredible costume design.

Maybe potentially watchable if you can chemically alter your brain to find its own meaningful patterns in noise (aka take acid or something) or maybe watch it in a language you don’t know so you can pretend the dialogue and plot are actually good and relevant to the film bc you’ll get about the same amount of context

but really all of this is context for why I’m angry my echolalia has been this for the past few days:

watched megalopolis drunk with my friends and have been trying to make sense of what went wrong ever since

[thoughtportal]

'Megalopolis' is a piece of s—t

SFGATE columnist Drew Magary begs you not to see Francis Ford Coppola's new film

This is not a review. This is a warning. If I gave Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” a standard movie review and told you that it was an incoherent mess on par with “Rebel Moon” (which it is), your fanboy reflexes would kick and you’d write me off. You’d take me as just another pair of glasses dead set on panning a movie just to bolster their art cred. I hate critics like that, and so do you.

So I’m telling you this not as a reviewer, but as a friend: Do not see this movie. It is a piece of s—t.

You’ve been warned various times already. You were warned when the Guardian reported this spring that crew members on “Megalopolis” described its making, paid for entirely by Coppola thanks to his fortune in winemaking, as a “train wreck.” You were warned when that same article leveled allegations that the old man would sexually harass female crew members (barf) and burn hours of shooting time just hanging out and smoking weed instead of working (OK I respect it). Coppola has denied the allegations, and has sued Variety for its own investigation into his reported wrongdoing. In its introduction, the written complaint in that suit includes the sentence, “Some people are jealous and resentful of genius.” Go ahead and take that sentence as a warning, too.

Because Coppola has been running defense for this film basically ever since it wrapped. Lionsgate, the only studio willing to distribute Coppola’s vanity project, tried to get ahead of the damage by releasing a trailer larded with critical barbs that had been levied against Coppola’s old masterpieces, quotes that turned out to be fabricated.

But perhaps those warnings haven’t been enough. Perhaps, like me, you keep a soft spot in your heart for Coppola, a member of the auteur revolution who made a string of masterpieces through the ’70s and ’80s, but has made none since. Perhaps, like me, you were drawn in by a cast that includes Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Dustin Hoffman, the god Giancarlo Esposito and other luminaries. And perhaps, like me, you’re so worn out by corporate filmmaking that you’re down with any movie that showcases pure artistic ambition, even if the end result is a misfire. Maybe this thing is a disaster, but maybe that’s the fun of it, yeah? Like gawking at a car wreck?

Wrong. This movie is unwatchable. It deserves to live in infamy, with its title acting as shorthand for any multimillion-dollar flop borne out of monstrous ego. I took a bullet watching “Megalopolis” for you. An actual bullet would have been kinder.

I’ll give you the details as best as I can manage. “Megalopolis” — oh I’m sorry, “Megalopolis: A Fable” — is Coppola’s attempt to portray near-future America as Ancient Rome. And brother, he is NOT subtle about it. He renames New York as New Rome. He gives every male actor a Caesar cut. He throws in engraved title cards throughout the movie that look like the menu of an SNES game. He turns Madison Square Garden into the Coliseum and uses it for an extended bacchanalia scene that goes on longer than a Catholic wedding. And he dresses up Shia LaBeouf, a talented actor whose face I never want to see again, in toga drag. Why is Shia in drag? What’s his character up to? Please don’t expect answers to any of that.

Here is the plot, as best as I can divine it. Driver plays Cesar Catilina, who runs the Design Authority of New Rome, which has its own police force for some reason. We know that Cesar is an architect, because the posters for “Megalopolis” all show Driver holding a magic T-square. We do not actually see him use that T-square in this movie. In fact, we don’t see him doing any nuts-and-bolts design work of any kind. This is because Cesar’s real occupation is Godfather of New Rome. He somehow has more influence in New Rome than the city’s mayor (Esposito), ANDhe has the power to stop time. How he acquired this ability is never explained. In fact, the movie gives Cesar this power for virtually zero narrative purpose.

Cesar is tortured. His wife has died, and Cesar is mourning her by doing lots of blow and sleeping with salacious TV reporter Wow Platinum, played by Aubrey Plaza. Turning Aubrey Plaza blonde is one of many crimes that Coppola perpetrates in this film. Now, Wow Platinum has some skeezy motives of her own (she’s a gold digger), so Cesar is wary.

He also has beef with Mayor Cicero, who apparently tried to implicate Cesar in his wife’s death, and who is working to prevent Cesar’s Design Authority from building Megalopolis, the architect’s vision of a future city. None of this is explained with any clarity. More important, it’s boring.

The rivalry between Cesar and Cicero grows more heated when the former falls in love with the mayor’s daughter, Julia. Julia is played by Nathalie Emmanuel, whose only direction from Coppola appears to have been, “act like you’re the love interest in a Michael Bay film.” Julia is a reporter (I think?) who’s loyal to her father but enchanted by this brooding, wide-chested rival. Is this love? Does the fate of Driver’s new “city,” which we know is the city of the future because it has moving walkways that glow, depend on them staying away from one another? Do I care about ANY of this s—t?

I don’t.

The plot I described above is barely discernible through the excruciating 138-minute running time of “Megalopolis.” I had to piece the story together myself while enduring things that no paying moviegoer should ever have to sit through. There’s that endless Coliseum scene, featuring a musical interlude from the city’s “virgin sweetheart,” who turns out to be older than she claimed (no!) and not a virgin at all (ZOMG!). In fact, she f—ked Cesar! On camera! Is nothing pure?

It gets dumber. There’s a scene where Julia, with the film’s incoherent score blasting in the background, solemnly reads not one, but THREE quotes from Marcus Aurelius in a row, giving the Roman emperor attribution after each one of them. There is Dustin Hoffman looking lost. There is Jon Voight looking even MORE lost. Driver is just about the only person here who does his best with the material he’s given. He acts so, so hard. Admirably so. Everyone else, with great justification, looks like they’re already embarrassed to be here. They know this thing is going to be a lemon, and act accordingly.

That includes Laurence Fishburne, in full “Matrix 2” mode playing both a chauffeur and an occasional narrator. That also includes Jason Schwartzman, who gets almost no lines in the film but shows up mostly because he’s related to Coppola. And it includes Plaza, who will absolutely be the best interviewee from this cast whenever Werner Herzog films a documentary about how awful the production was.

Oh hey, did I mention that there’s an Elvis impersonator singing the national anthem? That was random. There are also still photos of 9/11 (Rome falling alert!), plus an “interactive element” where a live performer in the auditorium asks questions of the on-screen Cesar as part of a press conference scene. It adds nothing.

There’s a jarring sequence where a little kid walks up to Driver’s car and shoots him in the face (credit where it’s due, Coppola still knows how to film a murder), but the bullet turns Driver’s right eye into a miniature galaxy before the wound magically heals altogether.

And, most importantly, there is Voight in a Robin Hood outfit, asking Plaza, “What do you think of this boner I got?” before shooting her in the chest with an arrow. That one’ll be a meme.

Save for Voight’s erect midnight cowboy, nothing else about “Megalopolis” will last. The dialogue is terrible. The color palette is nearly as incongruent as the music. The overdubbing sometimes doesn’t match the actors’ lips at all. The visual effects are terrible, featuring virtual sets that look like early design mockups Coppola never bothered to flesh out. Even the PROPS are terrible. Every physical prop in “Megalopolis” looks like Coppola either found it in his garage or asked his grandkids to make it for him. This movie cost the old man $120 million. He sold one of his wineries off to finance it. You could have shot a better looking movie with your phone.

And that’s really all there is to it. The only reason this film was released was because Coppola made it, and the only reason that Coppola made it was because he’s a centimillionaire. This is very much the work of a bored old stoner. I knew it five minutes into “Megalopolis.” I also knew that I was stuck.

Don’t let that happen to you. Don’t be tempted by Coppola, or by the cast, or by any contrarian review that attempts to kick off a reassessment of this disaster that it will never deserve. This movie is garbage. It doesn’t work as “so bad it’s good” camp. It doesn’t work as a “fable.” It doesn’t work as a noble attempt at a Big Statement. It doesn’t work at all. I’m sorry I watched it, and I will genuinely think less of anyone who finds it redeemable. There are plenty of directing legends, Martin Scorsese chief among them, who have great stories left to tell. “Megalopolis” proves that Coppola is not one of them. This man doesn’t know how to make good movies anymore. In fact, he doesn’t appear to know how to make any movie anymore. 

Before my screening, the studio hosted a livestreamed Q&A with Coppola, Spike Lee and Robert De Niro. Toward the end of that Q&A, De Niro, an outspoken liberal, looked out at the audience and said to them, “Just imagine Trump directing this movie.” Bobby, I don’t have to.

Megalopolis

That was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, but also some of the most fun I’ve had watching a movie in months. I don’t think there was a single second I wasn’t either laughing or shaking my head in disbelief at the vast and multitudinous bullshit appearing before me. It’s like The Room if it had a star-studded cast and a $130 million budget.

I saw Megalopolis with friends, and our debrief afterwards was wild, because of how many insane scenes each of us had individually forgotten due to how unrelenting the movie is. Like, sure, we’re all gonna remember Crassus one-shotting Aubrey Plaza with his comically small bow and arrow, and Driver's “the cluUUuuUb”, but remember when hundreds of people in New Rome were killed by debris from the falling satellite? Remember when Cesar was exonerated for his crimes, but the channel got hijacked by Vesta’s edgy, flame-filled MTV music video? Remember when they drove through the slums, with giant living statues of Lady Justice crumbling on the ground, then the characters said “Our world has so much injustice” out loud just to really make sure we got it? Remember when Cesar was shot in the face by a 12-year-old and it didn’t matter ten minutes later?

It’s just pretty hard to beat this movie in terms of Things That Happen Per Minute. Honestly, I can’t wait to see it again simply to be reminded of all the wild shit that happened that I didn’t retain; truly, I think one would need a mind steeled by megalon itself to take it all in at once.

The reason I would consider Megalopolis a genuine, lasting, so-bad-it’s-good gem is because it’s not the same kind of weird shit all the time, it’s like a whole Thanksgiving dinner of weird shit.

Unhinged acting choices? Plenty. CGI that looks like the result of a money laundering scheme? No problem. Plot beats so edgy and earnest they could’ve been written by a teenager, delivered deadpan by tenured actors like Laurence Fishburne? We got those. Constant cutaways to fake TV programs, replete with their own branding and logos a la REDLINE? Yep, got those too. Weird analog visual effects that look like they’re straight out of a local theater production? Let me check in the back… oh yeah, we got a few of those. Transition effects that are either genuinely impressive editing wizardry or 2003 PowerPoint slides, with no in-between? Oh you best believe we got those.

It’s truly a movie that keeps on giving.

Remember when Giancarlo Esposito dreams about a cloud with a big human hand stealing the moon? Remember when the infant froze time, only to be stuck forever in liminal space because it wasn't conscious enough yet to return to t-symmetry? Remember when–

My writing style is so different now fuck

Word count: 1, 225 Rating: T for strong language in the title Chapter synopsis: You know what happens. This is just a rewritten first chapter, but I wouldn’t say it’s the official one. So have this little treat that isn’t ‘real.’ I’ll still do a little editing here and there for the rest of the series, but I wouldn’t consider remastering it to such an extent it feels different.

01

Home alone

It used to only be veterans with missing limbs that sought robotic replacements.

Nowadays, enhancements were the new rage.

They were just as much of a fashion statement as they were self-defense. In a densely-populated megalopolis such as this one, culture was almost as big as crime. But Alfred couldn’t care less about the statistics—what he did care about, was himself.

A sea of umbrellas flooded the street. With a hand on his gun, he watched the crossing before running to it. Just opposite was his favorite noodle bar.

He couldn’t remember the last time he went hungry. And yet, it was the primary drive in all creatures, the very foundation of survival.

“What do you got for me?” He sat on a stool.

The chef, a fifty-something man in a half-apron and bandana, set a bowl of noodles in front of him.

“Encino,” The man turned around to tend to other customers. When he returned, he had a folded piece of paper in his palm. Unfurling his fingers on the counter, he left it for Alfred to pick up.

Written across the paper was an address he spent the past three months looking for.

“Better leave now than never.”

“I knew I could count on you,” The blonde reached over the counter and fished out a lid. Cracking that over his bowl, he left a pile of money before sliding off the chair. “See you around, Howie!”

“I hope not.”

Alfred finished his food in the car. When he arrived at a huge gate, he knew this was the right place.

“You are not in the system,” The intercom piped.

“Yes I am.”

He leaned out of the car window and stared into the camera. Lines of code scrolled rapidly in his eyes. When they stopped, the intercom was fizzing out.

“Welcome home, Mr. Jonas.”

Security was tight, and for good reason. This gated neighborhood was reserved for the rich and famous.

Just a few houses down was a grand estate rumored to belong to the heir of the Mizumoto company. And that company, rumored to be a yakuza syndicate. The first was questionable, but the second he knew to be a fact. And to confirm what he doubted, he would sit out here for as long as he needed.

“Now, the waiting game.” He parked on the side of the road. Silhouettes of palm trees lined the street. The night masked everything, his vehicle included, but he needed the discreteness.

“Same time tomorrow?” Allen asked, stopping in front of your door. “7 AM on the dot.”

“Make that 8 AM.”

“Got it. I’ll barge in at 7.”

“Like hell you are. I’m really tired tonight.”

“Then I’ll sneak in quietly,” He corrected, much to your defeat. “You won’t even know I’m there.”

“Fine. But if I hear you, you’re a dead man.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Picking you up for work was the norm.

The problem was, Allen didn’t need as much rest as you did, and he couldn’t go to HQ without you.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” You hugged him.

“I’ll be missing you until then,” He uttered, returning the embrace tenfold. When he pulled away, you could see the gentle pulsing of his red eyes. But that didn’t look as good as his lips felt on your forehead.

“Good night.”

He disappeared into his car and drove off into the darkness. It was a scene you knew all too well.

Allen wasn’t allowed to spend the night with you.

As your bodyguard, there were a few rules he couldn’t break. ‘Intruding’ in your home was prohibited, but he had a feeling your father just didn’t like him being too close to you. Other than that, he protected you around the clock.

You were just flesh and blood like God intended.

Allen wasn’t, so it was his job to take bullets for you. He had an arsenal of enhancements to aid his work. Enhanced strength, stamina, and speed were his bread and butter. Optical implants were another step up, and mantis blades a more dramatic addition.

But somehow, that still wasn’t enough.

Electric blue eyes watched him in the dark.

There they waited, and had been waiting. Once Allen drove away, they moved into the light, revealing a man—or what looked like one. And they were outside your house, searching for a way to get in.

The kettle bubbled to a boil while you got out your tea set. All the lights were off except for the kitchen, shrouding the rest of the house in impenetrable darkness. You were so distracted by what you couldn’t see, you completely missed what you could.

“You know,” A voice began. “For such a valuable prize, you have pretty shit security.”

You spun around in shock. Just seconds ago, you were washing your hands in the kitchen.

Now, you were staring down the barrel of a gun.

“But I’ll admit one thing,” They continued, circling you like prey. “It wasn’t easy finding someone who changes addresses every other week.”

Your hands went over your head.

“How did you find me?”

“I had a tip. A few, actually. Maybe eight until I actually got the right place.”

Whoever they were, and whatever they wanted, you were at the mercy of their finger that curled around the trigger. But instead of pulling it, they held you hostage in the tantalizing moment before death.

“I won’t hurt you if you come with me,” They muttered, slowly lowering their gun when you didn’t move a muscle. And you watched, taking note of their appearance. “Do we have a deal?”

The intruder was a young male in his twenties, but that was all you could gauge. His ivory skin was so flawless that he didn’t look real. What stuck out to you most were his eyes, unwaveringly restless and brighter than a car’s headlights.

Whatever he was, you knew one thing—he wasn’t about to have his way. His gun was no longer pointing at you, so you knocked it out of his hand.

“I take it we don’t.” Before his gun stopped clattering on the ground, he managed to twist your arm behind your back and pin you down on the counter.

“Agh—” You winced. He was so strong, it felt as if he could break your bones with the flick of a wrist.

“Too rough?” He loosened his grip, but not enough for you to break free. “I don’t have to do this if you do what I say. You can’t win with a body like that.”

“How did you even get in here?” You breathed, glaring at him over your shoulder. “You should’ve been blown apart the second you walked in here.”

“Trade secret.” He leaned into your ear. You tugged and wriggled some more, but your efforts were in vain. “You can do anything nowadays. So long as you buy the right upgrade, of course.”

“Not just anyone can get past this security system.”

“Well, I’m not just anyone.”

“Then who are you?” You let out. “What do you want? Are you trying to kidnap me for ransom?”

“No, but you’re giving me ideas.”

You tensed up and fell deathly quiet.

“Relax. I was kidding,” He laughed, feeling you ease up a little. It was too bad your relief was short-lived. “I’ll kidnap you without the ransom part. Sound cool?”

Next chapter: The twilight zone

Pleaspleaseplease "Your heartbeat's very loud" (just want to say I love your writting)

It's a simple thing, stargazing. Go outside, lie on a blanket, look at the sky. Sure, there's too much light pollution this close to the megalopolis of the U.S. East Coast for them to really see much, but...

There's no one else, not for a ways out. Just them, the sea, and the sand. The dunes block some of the city lights from Provincetown (at least, Eiji thinks it's Provincetown?) at the end of the Cape, and even though it's not as dark as it could be, they can still see plenty of stars.

"Look," Ash murmurs, his voice soft as the rise and fall of the waves. "Over here. That big rectangle with those four bright stars. That's an asterism called the Great Pegasus Square. You can use it to find Perseus, Andromeda, and Cassiopeia, too."

"Wow." Eiji follows the line of his finger pointing upwards, watching the stars. They are beautiful, but not the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.

After a moment, he turns his head and watches the moonlight reflecting in Ash's eyes instead. Ash is just wearing a T-shirt (one of Griffin's, Eiji thinks, taken from that old house along with all the pictures and letters they want to bring to their apartment in the city), and his chest is warm under Eiji's cheek. He smells nice.

"...Your heartbeat is very loud," Eiji says, after a moment. He likes the way it feels, a calm rhythm like the wind and the waves.

"Oh." Ash... might be blushing? "Sorry."

Eiji props himself up, giving him a disbelieving look. "Are you apologizing for your heartbeat, dumbass?"

"Well--" Ash huffs, definitely blushing now, even if it's too dim to see. "You said it's loud! What else am I supposed to say to that?!"

Eiji lightly swats his shoulder and flops back down to lie on his chest again. This man, he swears. Absolutely ridiculous. "Literally anything but sorry would be fine!"

Ash huffs again. "That doesn't answer my question in the slightest! You're the one being weird by talking about my heartbeat!"

"Oh, now I am making it 'weird'?!" Eiji feigns offense, but it's hard to hold in his laughter. He knows exactly how to end this. "Forgive me, then. I did not know it is 'weird' to like hearing the heartbeat of the man you are in love with."

Bingo. Ash gasps softly, and under Eiji's cheek, his heart beats faster.

"...You can't pull the 'in love with me' card and win every single time," Ash grumbles, but it's clear he's conceded. Eiji has no idea what it is that he's won here, precisely, but the point is that he's won it. "That's cheating."

"All is fair in love and war," Eiji says, very smugly, and just to cement his victory, he turns his head and presses a kiss to Ash's shirt, right over that beating heart. Then he finds Ash's hand, rubbing his thumb over the ring he put there two weeks ago. "Now drop it and tell me more about the stars, pretty boy."

"Ooh," Ash hums. "You think I'm pretty."

"Obviously," Eiji says, and laughs.

Hi there! I was wondering, are there words in dwarvish language for "workers", "commoners" "servants" "guards" and "royals"? This popped into my mind as I was re-watching The Hobbit and started thinking, how dwarves move around the mountain without getting lost all the time? I mean, it's a big place and quite maze-like xD Do they, for example, mark certain levels with a label or something to help them navigate through the kingdom? :D Hope this ask isn´t too complicated to answer! Thank you!

Well met!

I would imagine that for men, hobbits or elves (or to some extent even Dwarves from other Halls) allowed into the Halls under the Mountain it would indeed look very vast and maze-like, yet for the Dwarves that would have spent the vast majority of their lives in these mansions I would imagine it would not feel maze-like at all. I guess it all comes down to what you have always known and what you are used to. To quote the character Christof from the movie The Truman Show "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented, it's as simple as that."

Though that doesn’t mean that the various corridors and halls wouldn’t have markings of any kind. In Chapter 5 - The Bridge of Khazad-dûm Gandalf reads from the Book of Mazarbul: “We have taken the twentyfirst hall of North end to dwell in. There is I cannot read what. A shaft is mentioned. Then Balin has set up his seat in the Chamber of Mazarbul.” 

Gandalf reading the Book of Mazarbul

So, Khazad-dûm clearly must have numbers or markings for their various halls (”twentyfirst hall” for instance), otherwise how would Balin’s company have known they were in the twentyfirst hall to begin with and not any other hall?

You might think that perhaps they had a map of sorts. Though possible, no evidence of that is present. In addition, if original the map would have been over a thousand years old, as it would have been made in Khazad-dûm before it’s fall. Hence, it would likely have been copied several times as time went on, but again there is no evidence of that at all. Also, Gimli believed the mere mention of “a map” of the area around Khazad-dûm somewhat insulting it seems: “I need no map,” said Gimli, who had come up with Legolas, and was gazing out before him with a strange light in his deep eyes. “There is the land where our fathers worked of old, and we have wrought the image of those mountains into many works of metal and of stone, and into many songs and tales. They stand tall in our dreams: Baraz, Zirak, Shathûr.”So, clearly the dwarves passed on information about the three peaks of Khazad-dûm for generations, hence it is not inconceivable they would have done the same with some of it’s more iconic interior halls. Or perhaps it was a manner of pride and honor to the dwarves that they would not even have had or used a map. So, all the more reason I could imagine numbered rune markings might have been made on the various passage ways and halls back in the day. Indicating where specific corridors ended up.

When holding up a torch one might find these kind of simple runic markings (in this case indicating “the twelfth hall”).

I believe it’s like living in a Megalopolis like London or New York, once you’ve lived there several years you know your way around the place - perhaps not every borough by heart, but still, you feel at home and there is no immediate fear of getting lost and not finding your way back home. And while for a foreign person all streets look more or less the same, yet you could find your way around with your eyes closed and for you every street is distinctly different. 

As for your requested translations, there are indeed words in Neo-Khuzdul for all of these:

"workers" - umzâr

"commoners" - banhân

"servants" - udshân

"guards" - ushmâr

"royals" - uzbadkayal (“royalty” - lit. “king-lineage”)

Ever at your service,

The Dwarrow Scholar

Chapter 2

Derek walked the halls of Beacon Hills high school unnoticed, like a shadow. Where he once used to be popular and full of life, he was now isolated and inert. After Paige, he quit the basketball team, shut out all his friends and family, and faded into the background, hiding from the world. 

When her body was found in the woods, it was all anyone could talk about for weeks. They covered her locker in pictures and notes, planned a memorial, and even hung a plaque in the awards case for her cello playing. It infuriated Derek that so many people cried over her death and decorated her locker or talked like they were her friends in the hallways. He knew she wasn’t very popular and had few friends. Most of the people who talked like they knew her were the ones who made fun of her for being in orchestra.

What pushed him over the edge was when he was walking down the hall and heard Kelly say how much she was going to miss hearing Paige play cello. If Peter hadn’t been there, he would have gone full wolf and torn her to shreds. Since then, Derek has gone unnoticed avoiding all confrontations and interactions.

One Year Later...

Beep Beep Beep…

The alarm blared, alerting Derek that it was 6:00 am and he needed to start getting ready for school. He groaned as he turned off the alarm and rolled out of bed. He pulled on some jeans from the floor and grabbed a t-shirt off the chair. He picked up a pair of socks from the hamper and sniffed them, flinching and grimacing at the stench. He threw them back into the pile and rummaged in his dresser drawer for a clean pair. After he put on his socks and shoes he fumbled his way to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Derek looked at his reflection in the mirror and attempted to smooth down his hair but gave up when he failed to flatten the mop. Waddling down the steps he went into the kitchen and waved to his mother with a smile as she sat at the table eating some toast.

“Good morning sweetheart.”

“Morning mom.”

“Any plans for today?”

“Not really. Was just gonna come back here after school.”

“Why? You should go out with your friends. It is your birthday after all. Sixteen is a pretty big deal, I’m told.” Derek slammed the fridge and groaned at the thought of going out, especially with people who were certainly not his friends. “I’m just saying you should get out of the house, honey. You’ve been held up in your room for too long.” Derek rolled his eyes as he stuffed a muffin in his mouth and headed out to school.

While waiting for the bus, he finished his muffin and wiped the crumbs from his shirt. Shoving his hands into his pockets, his right fingers found a crumpled paper. He pulled out the note and read it realizing it was an assignment he had jotted down yesterday. Groaning, he let his arms go slack and rolled his head at the fact he had forgotten to complete the homework. Great, he thought, this is gonna be a ‘great’ day. 

The bus arrived and he jumped on, shifting through the tight isle through the sea of kids and backpacks and found an empty seat all the way in the back. Everyone seemed to ignore him and carry on their conversations and shenanigans which is exactly the way Derek liked it. He slumped into the seat and looked out the window as the large vehicle gathered momentum and watched the trees turn into houses as they neared the high school.

-----

“Derek!” Peter yelled from across the open courtyard. He started making his way over as Derek turned and tried to escape before he could reach him. “Hey, why are you acting like you didn’t hear me?” Derek winced at the voice behind him and turned to face his uncle. 

“Sorry, I was in a hurry to get to class.”

“The first bell hasn't even rang yet.” Peter raised his brows as Derek made a face of annoyance. “So I was thinking we could go out for your birthday tonight. Wha’d ya say?”

“I say that it’s still weird and creepy that you hang around a high school after you graduated.” Derek turned as he spoke and headed for his locker. Peter followed in stride as the boy left.

“Come on. Let’s go out. I even know this place that doesn’t card so you can get in.”

“We can’t get drunk, so what’s the point?”

“Girls, duh.”

Derek rolled his eyes, which seemed to be a natural occurrence today. He slammed his locker and started for class but his uncle stayed at his heels. Grunting as he swung around, causing Peter to almost crash into him he glared at his relative. “Fine. Now will you just go away?” He stomped off, this time alone. Peter smiled in victory and scurried off to do whatever it is that he does.

Derek huffed as he sat down in his seat, alerting his neighbor. “Hey, you good man?” He leaned up from behind, frightening an already agitated Derek.

Derek, whirled around to meet him, “Wha..what? Yeah. I’m fine.” He faced forward hoping that would be the end of the engagement.

“So today’s your birthday?” Derek slowly turned to face the boy, holding a deathly glare that should have intimidated the kid but he still leaned forward with a quirky smile that ground Derek’s gears. “I overheard you talking to that guy, that's why I was asking.” He responded after a lack of an answer to his previous question.

Derek squinted his eyes conveying annoyance and the kid still didn’t get the memo. Fully steaming now, Derek growled under his breath and spoke through gritted teeth. “Sure.” 

“Well happy birthday, man.” The boy gave Derek’s shoulder a pat, taking his rage further. “Names Julian by the way.” He finally leaned back into his seat distancing himself from Derek who could now feel the wolf boiling to the surface.

He gripped the edges of the desk as his nails started to push out of his fingertips and fangs began to sprout in his closed mouth. The taste of blood brought him down just as the bell rang and class started. Hopefully no one noticed the new claw marks on the bottom of the desk.

Derek left his locker and headed out to the courtyard to leave at the end of the school day and was all but surprised to see his uncle waiting for him outside. He sighed and rolled his eyes as he approached him, coming to the conclusion that his relative would wear him down until he lashed out or gave in.

“You ready kiddo?” Derek just glared at Peter’s words and grunted. Peter took that as yes nonetheless and swirled around leading the younger boy towards his BMW.

“So where exactly are we going?” Derek questioned as he threw his backpack into the seat behind him.

Peter raised an eyebrow noticing the unnecessary force Derek used to toss his school bag. “Please don’t break my car. That’s German leather.”

“It’s German leather,” the youngest of the two mocked in an unflattering voice under a hushed breath, instigating a cocky smile on his counterpart as he drove off from the parking lot.

------

It took almost two hours to arrive to their apparent destination. Derek gawked out the window since he had entered the city only twice before, years ago. He strained his neck to see the tops of the skyscrapers, leaving his mouth agape in amazement. The boy who was accustomed to the woods and nature felt out of place in the hustle and bustle of the megalopolis.

He clumsily followed his uncle for a couple blocks until they turned a corner to a building that appeared abandoned and lifeless aside from the blasting music that seeped through its outer brick walls. As they approached, there was a large metal door that Peter leaned against as he tapped it with his knuckle. A little window slid open revealing large black eyes the nodded when the young man raised a $100 bill. The window shut and then the door slid open. Peter handed the burly man the bill and received a raised eyebrow as the underage boy followed behind with his head down and hands in his pockets.

They approached the bar and Peter ordered them both a fancy beer he had never heard of and gave his uncle a confused look. “It’s for aesthetic. And it tastes good.”

Derek accepted the beverage and sipped the bottle only to recoil and spit. “That’s disgusting! How do you drink that?” He wiped his tongue on the sleeve of his jacket.

Peter rolled his eyes at his uncultured nephew. “You have to acquire a taste.” 

Only having been there a couple minutes, Peter already caught the eye of a woman across the bar. His cocky smile and vibrant blue eyes seemed to be working since she blushed, prompting Peter to push his back off the bar as he started towards her.

“Peter wait. Don’t leave me alone.” Derek shouted over the music as the man ignored his pleas. Derek turned around to face the bar and closed his eyes in an attempt to shut out the liveliness of the club. “Alpha. Beta. Omega.” He chanted repeatedly, trying to calm his brewing anxiety and feeling of abandonment. The mantra seemed to have no benefit as the room started spinning and his breathing became nonrhythmic. He felt like he was falling over when soft warm hands caught him. They held him up and lead him to a different and quieter part of the building which gave him the ability to hear his own breathing. He used this to help calm his nerves. He sat down against the wall and pulled his knees to his chest.

Suddenly he started crying as he remembered Paige. He had tried so hard to shut her out of his mind but she always knew how to comfort him. If she were here, she would hold his hand and smile, immediately filling him with warmth and easiness, probably saying something witty like, ‘don’t be such a werewuss.’ The thought of her comment made him chuckle to himself.

“Hey, it’s okay.” Derek swung his eyes open, forgetting he wasn’t alone. A women squatted down to meet him, her hands resting on his knees. She smiled a toothy grin at him that caused him to shudder. Her long blonde locks were pulled back into a ponytail. He cocked his head as he analyzed her and accepted her presence. She was warm and seemed genuinely concerned about him so he relaxed.

She sat down against the wall next to him. “You wanna talk about?” Derek nodded in response. He hadn’t talked to anyone about anything in over a year, but something about the nameless woman made him feel vulnerable and open. “Let’s start with why you’re here.”

“My uncle. He made me come here for some reason.”

“He made you?” Derek nodded again, proving what he said to be true. “No one can make you do anything. If you truly didn’t want to be here, you wouldn’t be.” Derek knew he should have felt insulted by her words, but found truth in them. He took it as him being weak. If he were stronger he would have stood his ground and not given in to Peter.

“Here,” the woman stood up, offering a hand to the sitting boy. He reached up and she pulled him up with unusual strength that implied she was very active. Derek lifted to meet her, accidentally slamming into her form. He blushed and stepped back as she smiled her now familiar smirk. “You wanna get out of here?” She asked as she cocked her head towards the door. Derek shook his head with wide eyes, practically begging to leave.

He shuffled out behind the mysterious woman as she tugged him along by the wrist. When they exited the crowded building, Derek welcomed the brisk air of the city. He took a deep breath and relaxed every muscle in his body. He looked over to the woman who was swinging her leg over the side of a motorcycle. She gestured for Derek to get on and handed him a helmet.

After she started the bike, Derek shouted over the engine, “I’m Derek by the way! What’s your name?”

The woman smiled wider than she had before with villainy, the boy unable to see. “Kate.” She knocked her helmet shut and drove off with the boy clinging to her waist.

I decided that in order to put a little more positivity and love in this fandom, I wanted to do a fic rec list every week of every fic that I read and write. It’s a long post, but I’m not sorry. They’re organized in the order that I read them or wrote them, from least recent to most recent. Got suggestions for me, or want to scream about some on this list? Come talk to me, I want them all!

THINGS I READ THIS WEEK (~5/20-5/27):

come on baby, let’s do the twist! - renaissance - The year is 1964, the Winter Olympics are in full swing, and Yakov is determined to win gold and be himself—and, of course, show his beautiful and perfect girlfriend Lilia how much he loves her. (My review: look i super love yakov, and this fic is a very cute taste of past!yakov. loved it.)

somewhere in your shadow i - seventhstar - four times yuuri used the internet to secretly love viktor nikiforov and one time he proclaimed it to the whole world (My review: this was adorable, i loved it. awesome story about yuuri on the internet and in love with viktor <33)

set sail from sense (ch. 1) - spookyfoot - Dancer/Choreographer Katsuki Yuuri and Singer/Songwriter Victor Nikiforov are finally Twitter official. The catch? It's for the "fake" role-play accounts they use to escape the pressure of their official images — and neither of them know that the "fake" celebrity they're talking to is actually the real deal. (My review: Have I mentioned I love social media fics? I love social media fics. This was very cute, and I can’t wait for spooky’s update <3)

Mine (Ch 1-3) - JMonCheri - Wherein famous actors Yuuri Katsuki and Viktor Nikiforov are forced to fake a relationship for mere reasons such as fame, money, and for teenage girls to make thesis long rants about them on Tumblr. A pact is made, then things snowball into a complete mess, and ya'll already get the idea where this is going... (My review: I love actor aus, and this one is written very charmingly, I love it)

The Bulge (Don’t Bring a Weapon to a Public Beach) - nagoyadelay - Victor posts a photo of Yuuri on instagram without realizing that it’s somewhat suggestive.A thirsty skating fandom collectively loses their shit. (My review: This fic is hilarious. Would recommend).

Kiss for The Greater Cause - Verudaru (veldygee) - Yuuri somehow managed to crack the dance studio's mirror wall. Phichit came up with an idea to come up with quick money. (My review: Also adorable and very funny. Loved it!)

Baby, I’m Preying on You Tonight (Ch. 5) - cuttlemefish - Yuuri and Phichit registered and named the pet shop when they were drunk. They didn’t exactly expect it to become the most popular pet shop in Seattle. (It was only supposed to be a front to fund Phichit’s (undercover) animal rescue missions.) Enter Viktor Nikiforov, the man with the pink Cadillac and the giant brown poodle (that's stolen Yuuri's heart), and Yuuri might have lost his mind, because apparently he keeps flirting with a client – and he never even notices. (My review: THIS FIC IS REALLY CUTE would recommend)

Espresso - withoutwingsx -  Prompt- You kicked two guys out for being rude but turns out they were a couple and now everyone including your crush thinks you're homophobic but you're actually 100% homosexual aka  Yuuri was not dealing with this shit today. (My review: Ahh, this was very well characterized, I adored it)

Pop Culture 101 - katsukiy - Yuuri makes Viktor sit through the entirety of The Star Wars series for a set of mostly selfish reasons. (My review: Yuuri and Viktor “”””””watch””””” Star Wars. A+)

whatever the mess you are, you’re mine (Ch. 1) - spookyfoot - Yuuri Katsuki's treading water after a humiliating failed audition for Megalopolis's premier ballet company, the Stammi Vicino Ballet. Meanwhile, 5 years post-forced retirement from a career ending injury, former SVB premier danseur Victor Nikiforov has established the city's hottest party planning company — but no one in his life seems to realize he's stuck in a holding pattern.When their paths cross at the annual Yu-topia Akatsuki friends and family banquet Victor's standard booking becomes anything but as shift the tides of one another's lives.  (My reivew: VikNik’s PikNiks was just as cute as I expected and I can’t wait for more)

Giacometti & Co. - Anna (artic_grey) - Against his shoulder and into the fabric of his t-shirt, Yuuri mumbled, “HaveyoueversleptwithChris?”He choked on his breath. Oh. Uh. “Errrr…” His mind raced. “A little?” aka the fic where both Viktor and Yuuri have slept with Chris. (My review: I love past Viktor/Chris, and I love past Yuuri/Chris, so this was awesome)

you can have my everything - spookyfoot - 3 times Yuuri strips out of self interest and 1 time he strips out of love.Featuring: high-stakes Monopoly, novelty aprons, aborted role-play, and a lot of banter. It's approximately 80% banter. (My review: a very cute story about yuuri stripping for himself, and then for viktor ;) )

#LoveHotelsAreAwesome - lucycamui - After the Grand Prix, Victor drags Yuuri to go sightseeing in Tokyo and stumbles onto an interesting aspect of Japanese culture... “Yuuri, what are all those?” Yuuri looked down the street that Victor indicated, as first seeing nothing out of the ordinary, but then realized that it was the buildings themselves that had caught his coach’s attention. “Well, uhh…” His heart sank a little when Victor started down the street, examinging blown-up display photos, with one of a room made up to look like the stereotypical image of a tropical resort. “They’re… love hotels.” (My Review: Ahh, this is adorable. Viktor Nikiforov is a ridiculous dork and I love him)

The one where Viktor Nikiforov is Gordon Ramsay - Eriskay - “Remember how I have a primetime show where I insult professional chefs for any dish that’s mediocre or worse? Forgive me if I’m reluctant to assume that your boyfriend’s friends will be okay with me crashing their potluck dinner.” In the end, Viktor does end up coming along for dinner. There, he meets Yuuri Katsuki, a man with a special talent for finding just the right balance between different flavours, and a smile as sweet as meringue. (My review: ahhh, this was super cute!)

Accidentally in marriage (Ch 4) - totaldislocation - Yuuri Katsuki, one of the dime-a-dozen top figure skaters certified by the JSF, ends in last place at his first Grand Prix Final after bombing his performance. When he thinks things couldn't get worse, he wakes up absolutely hangovered in an unknown hotel room with no recollection of what happened the previous night. Next to him is his idol Victor Nikiforov, now legally his husband. (My review: I love fake/accidentally dating/marriage, so this is right up my alley and super well written and adorable)

The Genevan Paso Doble - FullmetalChords - Insurance investigator Victor Nikiforov's world is turned upside down one night in Geneva, when he comes face to face for the first time with the thief he comes to call "Eros". Little does he know that their chance encounter will change the course of his life forever. (My review: this fic is so incredibly sweet and also nicely written wow i loved it)

THINGS I WROTE THIS WEEK (~5/20-5/27):

the “real” viktor nikiforov (Ch. 8) - So, fine, maybe Yuuri's a little bored and lonely when he likes a dating profile claiming to be Viktor Nikiforov. And, maybe, he's a little pathetic when he gets excited when the account messages him almost immediately after. And, he's definitely stupid for falling in love with someone pretending to be his idol, but he can't help it. It's not like it's the real Viktor Nikiforov, anyway. He knows someone is catfishing him, but he still falls ridiculously in love. (Or: The catfish au where they’re really sappily in love and I can’t stop them)

how to steal a gold medal stealthily - Viktor probably shouldn't have made the rule that they couldn't get married until Yuuri had a gold medal with so few major competitions left that season. It was a mistake that led to a series of very strange Google searches in the Katuski-Nikiforov household. Or, well, they weren't married, were they? So the household in which Viktor Nikiforov and Katsuki Yuuri lived, in love, but not married. Because Yuuri didn't have a gold medal. Yet. (Or: Viktor was an idiot, and Yuuri understands how to work Google)

deal or no deal? - Viktor Nikiforov would literally sell his soul to marry the love of his life, Yuuri Katsuki. Literally. (Or: Cary, I cannot believe you started a Supernatural au)

a kiss for a dish - Yuuri was sick of Viktor continuously leaving dishes in his and Phichit's apartment, and was going to do something about it. For a week, Viktor only got as many kisses as dishes he cleaned, unless he did them all. Also, they're in college, and three of them are strippers. (Or: The soft strippers college au fic feat. dishcourse)

ShartimusPrime Biography:

Inspired by watching boring Transformers action figure reviews, the ShartimusPrime youtube channel was launched in 2008. Engaging the audience with an edgy sense of humor while maintaining appropriate language for all ages, action figure collecting has never been this fun, and videos are posted daily! Unexpectedly, the channel became more popular for Marvel Legends reviews and Spider-Man, Avengers, and X-Men collection display videos. After a few years, the channel has branched out to review other figure properties aside from Marvel Legends and G1 Transformers Masterpiece. Hot Toys, Star Wars, Diamond Select Toys, DC Collectibles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, Godzilla, Evil Dead, and The Walking Dead toy lines have all been added to the roster of nearly 2,000 video reviews. Japanese import figures from SH Figuarts, Bandai, Figma, Square Enix, and Medicom MAFEX have been favorites as well. More recently, Kotobukiya Statues (including the very sexy Bishoujo line) and NECA Toys have become more prevalent on the channel. Being a big fan of movies such as Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, Evil Dead, Pacific Rim, Aliens, and other films has lead the channel in the direction of also reviewing movies, movie trailers, blu ray releases, and tv shows. News updates for 2016 releases and beyond are also posted. Audience engagement is a big part of this channel, with giveaways and fan mail being read publicly once a week in the PO Box Pick-Up videos. Impressive “Shart-Art” is shared via social media and included in the opening theme song. The audience is also kept up to date with any changes to the channel, along with recent comic book pick-ups, unboxings, and action figure hauls. Stop-motion segments punishing the popular meme of the Big Time Let Down Spider-Man close most of the comparison segments, and are compiled together for guaranteed access to patrons. Lastly, all figure reviews close with a slideshow featuring dynamic poses of the figure inspired by ACBA, with the added bonus of music performed and recorded by ShartimusPrime himself. source: https://fumceunice.org Xem thêm các bài viết về Công Nghệ: https://fumceunice.org/category/cong-nghe/

The 10 ultimate destinations for commute solo — what to devour, drink and do

That you would be able to go anyplace you are looking to. that's one aspect to take into account. if you are planning to look the area on your own, if you are due to the fact demography that wonderful, alarming step and miraculous out solo, the entire world is at your disposal. there's nowhere accessible that you cannot live on by myself, nowhere you might not find things to do, areas to live and individuals to help you alongside the way. There are, youngsters, definite locations which are greater suited to abandoned trip than others. These are matey destinations, but they're also areas where you will meet a whole lot of affiliated alcohol, couthy abandoned guests to band with and to allotment this unbelievable experience, if you feel that is whatever thing you need. you'll all the time have business in these cities in case you desire it, but if you opt to explore on my own the following cities are excellent for solo event.

Tokyo - TOKYO going IT on my own there may be boilerplate in the world rather like Tokyo. nowhere appears as massive and alarming firstly look, and yet reveals such a sense of safety once you're on the ground.
