“woh kya haina, samajhdaar ko ishaara kaafi hota hai. lekin tum itne samajhdaar nahi ho na, iss liye itne detail mein samjhaana pada!” i really cannot stop laughing at this scene. truly the evil bros dynamic i have been craving for from this show.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand that is enough for aryan to maarofy palti.

but ooooooooooops. he called him kabir. which we know is this one’s sore spot these days.

“kabir.................... sir?” lmfaooooooooooooo

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha

bitch wht you callllllll vansh?????

“kabir...... bhai.”

OMFG THE STRAIGHT UP ORGASM FACE HE MADE AT THAT?!?!!??!?! JESUS KABIR I THINK YOU NEED THERAPY FOR THIS. EVEN FREUD DIDN’T COME UP WITH A THEORY FOR WHATEVER FREAKY “BHAIYYA ISSUES” YOU HAVE GROWN ALL OF A SUDDEN OUTTA NOWHERE.

aryan is literally like...............................

“ab BHAIYYA ki do baat dhyaaaaan sunna, ok????”

ok deal done. do shady fuckers have allied. kaisi ram milaaye usa-uk type jodi hai paapiyon ki.

aryan like but everything belongs to dadi now, and dadi is forsho gonna hand it all over to her laadli riddhima, who hates your guts.

“tum jitna smart mujhe samajhte ho, usse kahinnnnnn zyaada smart hoon main.”

aryan like ok but fr how exactly are you gonna achieve this??????/

“bhagwaan ne pehle hi tumhe dimaag kam diya hai. issi umar mein sab use karloge toh aage kya karoge??? jitna bola gaya hai, utna karo.” LMAO PLS MAN CAN WHOEVER IS WRITING KABIR’S LINES WRITE THEM FOR VIHAAN TOOOOOOOO. COZ THESE ARE GENUINELY SO FUNNY AND HIS ARE SOOOOOOO FUCKING LAME.

riddhima walks in to aryan having already gotten dadi’s ear and having kabir involved in the business. he’s already signing papers and shit! idhar mereko debit card use karte waqt 4 baar sign karna hota hai to prove i’m the actual owner and didn’t just steal it from somewhere, and this guy just got signing authority to a wholeass empire in half an hour.

aryan talking soooooooooooo nicely about kabir and riddhima is like OK FOR SURE THIS FUCKER HAS BEEN THREATENED AND/OR BRIBED.

lmaooooooooo aryan again referred to him as “kabir” and K just cleared his throat all ominously. and promptlyyyyyyy aryan’s like “KABIR BHAI!!!! KABIR BHAI!!!!!!!!!”

uska jhattttt jawaaab bhi mil gaya universe se, hahahahahaha.

kaunsa bhai, kahaan ka bhai, haaaaan??????

oh boy. this angle again.

“isse vansh bhai ki jagah dena, business mein involve karna; kya deal hui hai tumhari, kitne mein becha hai tumne apne aap ko; bolo?!?!?!? ki tumhe yeh achanak se apna bhai lagne laga hai????” DAMN. I LOVE ISHANI. SHE’S SHARP AS A TACK. WHY THE FUCK WON’T DADI JUST GIVE HER THE EMPIRE?????????

dadi talking blah blah anupriya ka beta hai, yeh bhi tumhare bhai haina. god shut upppppppppp dadi.

“jeete-jee toh nahi, dadi. mere liye bhai ka sirf ek matlab tha, vansh bhai.” aw mannnnnnnnnnnn. i really hope we get more ishani/vansh-vihaan when he enters the house. i really wanna see more of their bond. he always was so soft for siya, but it’s so obvious that ishani loves him beyond belief. what a shame to not show us more of that.

“respect earn kii jaati hai, zabardasti lee nahi jaati.” DAMN RIGHT SIS. YOU TELL EMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

ab iss angle mein atke issko yeh kaun samjhaaye???

you know that realllllllllly dumbass cringeworthy song called psycho saiyyaan? they should remake it for this show and call it “aaya mora BHAIYYA psycho!!!”

so apt!

dadi apologizing some more for ishani and giving kabir khulaaaaaaaa rein to handle business. riddhima not happy about this and decides kuchhhhh toh karna hogaaaaaa.

she finally remembers of angre’s existence and that he is the only one who’ll really help her.

ISS GHAR KE SAARE MARD EK SE BADHKAR EK PAAGAL HAIN.

riddhima saying the saaaaaaame thing.

angre se bro ka judaai sahaa nahi jaa raha. brotp ho toh aisa.not that vansh articularly deserves this much love and loyalty, seeing the way he treated angre, but angre’s saying he was my boss, bhai, dost, everythingggggg to meeeee. awwww.

BUT ALSO THIS FUCKER FULLLLLY DOING THIS DRAMA HAVING HELPED VANSH SURVIVE AND CHANGE IDENTITIES, LIKH KE LELO MERE SE.

ishani coming in and is like at least he’s grieving bhai’s death. you toh let some other fucker into the house on bhai’s terhvi itself.

“sab apni life mein aage badh gaye hain. aise behave karr rahe hain jaise kuch hua hi nahi hai! kisi ko koi parvaah hi nahi hai ki vansh bhai humaare beech nahi hain.” aw mannn, i honestly love her the mosttttttttttttttt.

she’s like angre’s trying to take his pain out, usse toh chain paane do.

riddhima got a message from chaiwaala (no, not the one at 7, race course road) and bounces.

meanwhile angre is telling ishani to give the belt back and stop pretending she gives a fuck about him. she’s like i don’t, but i know you loved bhai as much as i do. so i won’t let you do this to yourself.

she’s like if you really want to honour him and give him peace, then we need to make a plan so that the fucker who’s ghusofied into his house can’t take his place. OMG YOU GUYS THEY’RE TEAMING UPPPPPPP?!?!?!??!!? A GENTLE BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!!! HONESTLY, VANSH’S DEATH HAS BROUGHT NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO THIS SHOW.

cutiepie is waiting for wifey to show up. has some stupidass tech dialogue to maarofy about it but the less said about that, the better.

“message padha bhi nahi??? kaise pata karoon????” lmao itna bada hacker hai, and he’s at the mercy of whatsapp ka blue tick feature like the rest of us.

not to worry boo. she’s on her waaaaaay.

WHY THE FUCK DOES HE STILLLLLLLL HAVE ALL THE PICS OF THE FAM LYING OUT IF HE KNOWS SHE’S GONNA SHOW UP?!?!!?!?!?!

“intezaar bhi tab tak cute lagta hai jab tak frustrate na kar de; miss..... pretty raisinghania!” dude, whether he’s vansh or not, he’s simping so hard for her. i fucking love it.

oh shit she walks in as he’s heartttttteyeing over her piccccccc.

oh nope. he’s the flash flying jatt. already disappeared behind his desk.

yeah girl. i know. I KNOW!!!!!!!

Steven Universe Future musings

Rambling thoughts behind the cut for A Very Special Episode! As always, feel free to reblog or message me with your own thoughts and ideas!

We streamed the episode through the official CN app and for a second it cut out part of the vital discourse between Explorer Gal and Mayor Guy. Thank goodness it wasn’t more!

How the fuck old IS Onion

I thought he was about 4 before but if so he should be pushing 7 and kid should know how to chew a fucking broccoli by now

Oooohh Rainbow can access Pearl’s sand/cloud animation powers and Steven’s levitation powers together to apply them to objects?

Also THE FUCK IS THAT STEVEN PLUSHIE WITH ITS CHEST RIPPED OPEN AND ONE EYE PINK

I thought fandom had left behind the whole Steven loses an eye thing but oh ho! It’s sorta back!

Maybe Steven will wind up with one permanently pink and one normal, showing he’s scarred by his Gem struggles but still ultimately human???

I’m hard-pressed to see him lose an eye entirely given that the movie definitively established he can heal himself

Leave it to Onion to have that thing lying around

And leave it to Onion to fucking COLLECT GREG’S HAIR OUT OF THE OCEAN BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED

Rainbow 2.0 has such a sweet voice!

My favorite was What the--???

haha I just spent like 3 hours drawing Steven’s phone but still didn’t draw it correctly. Why didn’t I look up a reference?

Steven got stress eyes IMMEDIATELY

Initial thoughts were “Wow, why is Garnet being so mean to these Gems?”

Later thoughts: ahhhh this is the future where Garnet overdid it.

FUSION DANCE FUSION DANCE FUSION DANCE

MY BOY’S DANCE MOVES ARE SO GOOD

WOW

THAT CONFIDENCE

THOSE LITTLE HAND GESTURES

THE LEAN BACK WITH THE FISTS AND HIS EYES CLOSED

LOOK HOW HIS JACKET FLOOFS AROUND HIM

LOOK AT HIM GO

I’M SO PROUD

THE WAY HE HOLDS GARNET’S HANDS LIKE AN EQUAL AND THEY SMILE AT EACH OTHER AND I’M LITERALLY TEARING UP IT’S JUST SO GREAT AND HE’S SO PRECIOUS

HE’S GONNA DO GREAT AT THE BIG DANCE WITH CONNIE

SOMEONE PLEASE GIF IT FOR ME BECAUSE I WANNA WATCH IT FOREVER

I’ll make a separate post with caps because I just love this SO FUCKING MUCH!!!!!!

Sunstone is so much wiser than anyone knows -- turn off that motion smoothing!

Great safety tips, Sunstone!

Steven starts sweating immediately as soon as unfusing... poor kid!

Just... Rainbow, you are the best Mary Poppins that ever was <3

But Onion is just.... beyond

Home Safety obstacle course??? nooo! Motion smoothing??? Nooo!

BungaCOWA

Do you guys think the tiny arms are Sapphire’s, and the beefy arms are Steven + Ruby?

Steven almost passes out coming out of Sunstone again....

The entire Pearl second video call is AMAZING

Incredible insane angles on Pearl! The mood! Onion in the Wall! Then it goes into like a take on the X-files theme???

You were such a good kid you were never like this I’m so sorry I never told you that omg Pearl your love for Steven is soooooooooooo pure!

But don’t worry Steven you’re still loved now whether or not you live up to someone else’s idea of good!

Steven is so done with Onion by the time they find him in the kitchen

So Onion, like Steven, doesn’t grow, but apparently, he has grown enough to be literate

Oh no Steven’s eyes are just closed on Rainbow’s face because he’s so tired now

Steven is wiped out

No no no, it’s fine, it’s good!

I’m combining all my responsibilities into one responsibility!

Steven just went full Bojack Horseman here somehow!!!! I think the I’m fine loop does it, and the crazy angles on Steven’s face -- soooo good!

It’s - it’s brilliant! It’s fine, I’m fine, it’s really, I’m fine, it’s fine, I’m fine --

I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m -- really, just fine -- huh?

Amethyst omg

Why is Onion a Pied Piper??? because he’s terrible

Wait, I just realized both skinny arms have the wedding rings... curious!

Steven for Beefy Arms confirmed 2019

So did any of that happen? Did it happen as a skit? Was it all being filmed? Or was it only shown to us the audience, suggesting it did happen in a future that is not canon?

I suspect that if Sunstone looked ahead and saw possible futures where a) gems were hurt and b) Steven was hurt by overcommitting, that the possible futures they had to pick from would be influenced by everyone in the fusion. So since Steven is super anxious these days and thinks he’s the only one who can solve people’s problems, then the futures Sunstone has available to pick from are naturally going to be ones where other people are more incompetent (Garnet being callous, Pearl being inept with Onion) and where Steven tries to sacrifice himself to save the day.

I’m not entirely sure! Future vision episodes always give me a bit of a headache in a good way. Very fun and not the emotional devastation I was expecting, which means that the next episode to be a heavy hitter will probably gut everyone and leave them for dead.

CK Rewatch 2020: 1x01, part 1

And away we go!

I love the way the did this recap with the alternate angles and then adding in the freeze frames with the points. It just really sells it as how Johnny would be remembering it, I think

Fuck, Johnny has beautiful kicks.

And the zoom in on the Cobra Kai logo on the gi and the zoom out of Johnny in his trash bed.... Man, this is not how I imagined Johnny would be 33/34 years later. Makes me sad. :-(

I used to eat “fried” bologna. For lunch. It’s pretty good. Especially on rye bread with some mustard.

Johnny is such an asshole in this episode. All the casual racism and sexism is just... It’s a lot but not totally unbelievable.

That rat in the gutters is soooooooooooo gross!

OK, how many doors on this room?? I kind of blame them both for this. She should have clarified WHICH door she meant. If he went into the room and saw more than one door, he could have asked.

BONSAI!!! :-( Poor Johnny......

This Ep Was Worth Reviving the Bullet Points For

Oh my. I knew it would be hard to watch. I knew it would look as though it came straight out of a Directing 101 Handbook. I knew I had to leave the remote across the room lest I grab it mid-cringe and change the channel.

But I never imagined it would be ... this.

This ep looked like it was born inside a geometry teacher’s head.

The shapes. Oh lord the shapes. I get that they were supposed to make a statement but because of the ham-fisted way they were handled the only statement I got was LOOK AT THE SHAPES!!!!

So many fences and cages. So many slats and circles. Soooooooooooo much iron. Which was fitting for an ep with the heaviest anvils I think I’ve ever seen.

BOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could now do a entire set of bullet points on just lighting fixtures because good heavens we saw a lot of them. In dramatic upshots mostly.

And lots of fire. Which could have been a very cool way to link the scenes had the subtlety meter on the whole thing not been turned up to 11. Man I hate it when director’s treat their audience like idiots. Like we couldn’t possibly get this oh so clever device on our own so it needs to be beaten like a drum. I gotta be honest, I ended up resenting the hell out of that fire. Thanks, Lana.

All the shooting through things like cages and bike spokes and all sorts of other obstructions. STOP THAT! It’s not nearly as cute as you think it is.

And shooting from down low to skew the perspective is fine--in small doses. But only in small doses.

There is a way to cut from a wide angle shot to a close up without startling the viewer. Not that you’d have known it tonight.

The blocking was boxy--as expected--but it really didn’t matter because it took a distant second place to the set decorations which as I mentioned earlier were aggressively geometric. To the point of distraction.

I could have won quite a bit of money betting we’d get at least one full soft focus confusion to clarity shot tonight. First time director’s can’t ever resist. And we got more than one because ... of course we did.

I haven’t watched since 7x02 so I don’t have a real frame of reference on the acting. I have no idea if it’s been this over the top all season. And the writing can’t be blamed on Lana but WOWZA, It was awful in spots. Lots and lots of spots.

The thread that normally runs through any ep was more of a large heavy chain tonight.

I know better than to expect subtlety from any first time vanity director, especially Lana, but YIKES.

I’ll have MANY more thoughts to come as soon as my brain stops clanking from all the unnecessarily aggressive elements that I was just assaulted by. I’m gonna rewatch on my tablet I think. That shit was hard to take in wide screen.

#OUAT #7x16 breadcrumbs #anti-Lana #anti-ouat #bullet points on the way #if you're looking for happy talk about the ep keep moving #ouat negativity

Happy Birthday!!

@the-rain-shall-fall So...uh...I tried this fic thing that you’re good at. Keyword here is ‘’tried’’. Anyway, I know this is your jam so I thought ‘why not?’ It’s my first time writing a fic thingie so I’m sure there are a lot of mistakes....but anyway happy birthday to the best Vandy ever!! > . < haven’t known you for very long but you make my heart go doki dok//ok nu that was gay but seriously I love you soooooooooooo much I hope you have a super duper special day with all your loved ones <3 alsosorrythissuckssoyoumightwannaneedneweyesafterreading. Edit: Probs should speak about what this is about first? Inspired by a friend’s suggestion, I decided to write something about Seven’s unrequited love for Yoosung. Longing for him was out of the question so Seven tries to cope with it. Well das about it~ ------------------------------------ Ship: yooseven Setting: pre-original story ------------------------------------

Sweet Caramel

It was like a ball of sunshine forcefully made its way into the grimmest, most hopeless and darkest of caves. The obscure cavern’s entrance was sealed by an immense sturdy wall that protected it from curious nearby onlookers. If they wanted to trespass, they would be forced to remain behind the wall. If they tried to break it down, the cavern itself would sometimes fight back. Soon enough, the curious onlookers would leave. No matter how many times they tried to bring down this wall, they would eventually give up—until he came along. His bright smile and innocent eyes managed to cause a crack in that solid wall, it slowly and gradually crumbling without the cavern’s knowledge. It didn’t know what it was like, losing its only powerful barrier that protected it from every single living thing. Now it lays bare, naked and vulnerable in front of a powerful shimmering person. Worst part? The glowing entity was not even aware of what it did—it wasn’t even trying to break down anything; the barrier just naturally melted, along with a certain hacker’s heart. He remembers it just like it was yesterday. Due to Rika needing some help with the party, she borrowed her cousin who was a high school student about to graduate. His name…Yoosung Kim. Seven was asked to add him into RFA and so he did. At first, he didn’t think much of him in the chatroom. He knows Yoosung to be this model student who was in the student committee—a serious person who obviously liked his cousin a bit too clearly. Seven started getting to know him soon enough, before Rika’s sudden death. The kid was innocent, honest, gullible, straight-forward with his actions and words, doesn’t mess around….the exact opposite of him. Yoosung was void of faults; he’s just a harmless boy who doesn’t know what to do in college and loves making coffee. His specialty is cooking omelets, his heart dedicated to a future girlfriend he hasn't met yet, but is frantically looking for that certain special someone. Seven thought that probably –just probably- this kind of person wouldn't mind accepting someone like him, a harmful hacker, so he pushed those thoughts out of the way and focused on his daily work, avoiding a cheerful entity like Yoosung before the two of them end up regretting it. It was harder than anything else. After Rika became no longer part of this world, Yoosung changed a little—from his hair to his grades. No, he also became much…sweeter, though he was always grieving for the loss of an important person, spending most of his time on a game, unable to sleep and study. The blond’s heart hoped for a miracle, and Seven watched him from afar, wishing nothing more than being allowed to be by his side—not as a lover, but at least as a friend. Being friends with a hacker…a dangerous hacker living in obscurity, away from the light of the outer world. However, Yoosung’s light could be compared to that of an entire world’s worth, something that the lonely hacker unfortunately found out on his own, just by chatting with the boy on the messenger that he himself created. Day by day, the redhead began developing a habit of teasing the little blond; the more he pranked him, the more Yoosung would pout and cry. It was a stress-relief at first, but recently Seven has been looking forward to his reactions every time, finding them ‘cute’. It was dangerous. The hacker would sometimes find himself daydreaming, thinking of ways to tease this little blond boy. His innocent friend’s reactions to the pranks, his ‘angry’ pouting, the way he got so addicted to this game he plays simply to forget about the death of someone he admires. All of this—thinking about Yoosung was more than enough to earn the hacker a verbal beating from his handler, Vanderwood. It happened one time when Seven was way behind work, but still decided to log into the messenger at midnight, hoping Yoosung would be there to chat as this usual time. Indeed, he was there, complaining about LOLOL server maintenance and how he was looking forward to playing in an important event while spamming his crying emojis. Seven chuckled slightly, so Vanderwood wouldn’t hear him laugh. ‘So cute’, he thought as he decided to simply watch the younger man complain instead of signing in and teasing him. Maybe he should comfort him once in a while? No, that’d be out of character…besides, Yoosung is the cutest when pouting and calling ‘Seveeeeeeeen’ and spamming crying and depressed emojis. Just the thought made the hacker’s smile go wide…which Vanderwood noticed. ‘’Wipe that smile off your face and get those hands moving.’’ As the brunet ordered, Seven sighed and placed the phone he used for the messenger aside, his hands typing away until morning without as much of a break. About a month passed. Nothing changed much; Jaehee still overworking herself, Jumin still coming up with (awesome) cat projects that Seven would love to be a part of but is afraid of Jaehee’s angry emoji sticker, Zen getting new roles and learning new selfie angles and Yoosung’s usual awful grades in college which he always complains about but never does anything about it (which is also cute). Nothing changed much, except Seven’s agonizing and confusing feelings for the blond boy with awful grades. Now what was he supposed to do? He’s like a moth that got attracted to a certain bright light, fluttering around it until it gets burned from too much exposure. The world this hacker lived in was no healthy environment for an innocent and gullible young boy like Yoosung. Seven knew that, and yet, in a desperate attempt to redeem himself, he did the exact opposite of what he should be doing and sought Yoosung out. ‘’You asked him out to the movies?!’’ The angry brunet’s voice reverberated in the bunker. ‘’When you’re already way behind schedule, what’s wrong with you? You have a death wish?’’ Seven shifted in his seat, pulling up his knees into the chair and hugged them. ‘’Give me a break, Madam…I didn’t mean to…’’ Oddly enough, this time, Seven was actually telling the truth. The night before he sent the young boy a text message asking him to go out and watch a movie, Seven was extremely…intoxicated—or drowning in PhD Pepper hell. It was the night when the hacker decided to exclude Yoosung out of his life in order not to hurt the both of them, but at the end, he ended up doing the opposite while trying to cope with the unfairness of this situation. ‘’Then fucking fix it. There’s no time for you to mess around.’’ Vanderwood ignored the redhead’s attempts at arguing and went back to folding the laundry. ‘’How many red shirts and jackets do you need, anyway? They all look the same. Also, lay off the racing car underwear, you’re not 12 years old.’’ Seven was drifting closer to the bunker’s exit as quietly and slowly as he could. ‘’My heart is that of a 12 year old, Mary. The only way to live a good life is to be a child, Mary. You wouldn’t understand anyway, Mary. You’re so stuck-up, Mary.’’ Before Vanderwood could throw a hissy fit at him, Seven already flew out of the bunker, heading to the garage where he swiped the keys from the car plate and hopped on his ‘babe’ then made his way to where Yoosung lived. ‘’Vanderwood wouldn’t have so much energy as to chase me all the way here, right? He doesn’t care as long as I finish my work, after all. Saaaaaafe.’’ Soon enough, the hacker found himself in front of Yoosung’s apartment, wondering if the boy would be ready and waiting for him. ‘’As if…he didn’t reply to the text…if not, then that’s the best case scenario.’’ Not knowing whether to knock or just barge in—wait, he should really just knock or else Yoosung would scream his name, pout and maybe cry-- ‘’Yoosung, are! you! ready?’’ The hacker hummed as he picked the locks of the door’s keyhole before barging into the boy’s apartment, revealing a Yoosung with a shirt and….no pants. ‘’Wha--!! Seven!!’’ Ah, there it is, that angry name calling. Perfect. Those fair legs. Perfect. That messy hair. Perfect. Those huge purple orbs with a glint of tears swelling up in the corner of his eyes….perfect. ‘’Go away!! I’m putting my pants on!’’ The perverted hacker blushed, but didn’t turn around to give him privacy. ‘’Does it matter? We’re both dudes~ nice legs, by the way.’’ Seven laughed as Yoosung got flustered and threw a pillow at him, calling his name angrily over and over again. ‘’My fault for being lazy and not getting dressed up in my room…wait, this isn’t my fault. Why did you come in without permission? I’m calling the cops, the cops!!’’ Seven smirked, still trying to look away from the boy’s half-naked body. ‘’….Superman underwear? Really? Ah, I mean, I called for you (lies) but you didn’t answer! So I thought…that….you’d….be….by now…’’ The redhead dramatically fell to the floor and started fake sobbing. ‘’As always I don’t get what you’re saying…you’re even weirder in person. You’re tame during the parties…but what are you doing now? Oh…?’’ It took the boy a while to register Seven’s comment about his underwear, which made him blush profusely. ‘’You…! Yeah, so what, so what??’’ He pouted and retrieved the pants from Seven’s hands who was clutching at it for some reason and put it on, then turned his attention back to the hacker on the floor. ‘’You’re here for the movies right? I thought you were joking when you asked me to hang out…why all of a sudden?’’ Seven got up and spoke in a serious tone, gazing into Yoosung’s amethyst eyes. ‘’To be honest, I was drunk on PhD Pepper. Before I knew it, my hands started typing you a text message! This could only mean one thing, Yoosung!!’’ ‘’You should quit drinking so much PhD Pepper?’’ ‘’Yes it means my subconscious wanted to hang out with you, Yoosung! There’s no other meaning…it could also be an order from the sky. I can feel it; just thinking about it makes the hair on my arms perk up!! Ahh! Yoosung, you shouldn’t refuse an order from the sky!!’’ ‘’You speak too much, Seven…and what happens if I do?’’ ‘’You’ll anger the gods and then you’ll never get a girlfriend.’’ ‘’What?!’’ ‘’It’s true. The gods shall take away your greatest wish!’’ Yoosung started visibly sweating. Not wanting to stay a forever alone, he decided to sacrifice himself and go out with this weird redhead who was giggling for some reason. The boy frowned but then sighed and picked up his phone, sliding it in his pocket. ‘’Alright alright, let’s go…but I get to choose what we watch!’’ ‘’Nah, we’re watching Interstellar.’’ ‘’Seveeeen!’’ ‘’Fine, you choose.’’ Seven had been grinning all the way to the movies, disregarding Yoosung’s attempts at finding out why he’s got such a stupid look on his face. The both of them took a cab instead of riding Seven’s car so it was left parked somewhere near Yoosung’s apartment. ‘’We’re here, we’re here!’’, exclaimed the overly-excited hacker, who was looking forward to sneaking a few long stares at Yoosung’s face without his knowledge while the blond was focusing on the movie. ‘’What are you getting so excited about…oh! Look!’’ Yoosung glued himself to a poster of the movie he decided they would be watching. It had cartoonish animation, and according to the visuals, it seemed to be a superhero theme. Seven sighed and dragged Yoosung by his hoodie to the snacks stand. ‘’Get us two caramel popcorns, 1 PhD Pepper and 1 carton of chocolate milk. Thanks in advance.’’ He handed him money and pushed him towards the stand then headed to buy two tickets of the weird-looking superhero cartoonish movie. ‘’Who’s gonna buy choco milk?! Seven, you meanie!!’’ Yoosung’s whining was music to the hacker’s ears, who heard him from afar. He chuckled aloud, startling the lady in front of him. After a while, they were both finally seated and were waiting for the movie to start. ‘’Why did you get us the farthest seats from the screen ever…..’’ Yoosung whined. ‘’So no one would see us.’’ ‘’…and why is that? What’ll happen if someone sees us??’’ ‘’Bad things. Remember there’s this organization called Hackers Chasing Hackers…they’re after me, and if they see you with me, they might hold you captive and feed you cafeteria food for 3 meals a day.’’ ‘’What?? Seven!!’’ The commercials were done with and the movie started, grabbing away the blond’s attention from the redhead sitting next to him. ‘’….but then why did you choose to get out…with me of all people….you’re so mean…’’ Yoosung slight kept his whining when the show started, his focus on the street. ‘’Because I like you.’’ He whispered. ‘’What, Seven?’’ ‘’Because I like seeing you complaining.’’ He raised his voice a bit higher. ‘’I knew it, you’re the woooorst…’’ Half an hour in, and Seven couldn’t keep his eyes off of Yoosung. Sometimes the boy would notice eyes on him and turn around, finding nothing then turning his attention back to the movie, giggling at the main character. Seven slowly scooted closer; he wanted to hold his hand, kiss his cheek, kiss those whiny lips, run his tongue over them, make the little blond blush and shiver under him while in public. The hacker sighs; he didn’t even know what the hell this movie was about, he was busy focusing on something else—something beautiful, natural and blinding…like the sun itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘’That was amazing! Did you see that kick? It went Paw Pow Bow!!’’ ‘’Yeah, yeah. It was beautiful’’, the hacker exclaimed while smiling at him. ‘’What’re you smiling for?~ anyway, can we go home? I’ve got to…um…study.’’ Seven smirked and pinched the other man’s nose. ‘’Right…then we’ll take separate cabs. Good luck conquering the world of LOLOL.’’ ‘’S-Shut up, I said I’ll study…’’ he mumbles, watching Seven calling a cab for him. ‘’There you go, be safe getting home. I’ll be going now, too~’’ He turns away and waves from behind before hearing the voice he loves so much call back at him. ‘’Seven!..I…had fun today! You’re not as weird as I thought!’’ The boy yelled at him, smiling brightly. Fuck. He wanted to hold him and kiss him in front of all these people passing by, in front of the driver who was still waiting, in front of the whole world to claim him as his own…Maybe he should. Then, when Yoosung rejects him, the hacker can finally move on and focus on what he needs to. With such a decision made on impulse, Seven quietly turned around and walked towards the boy. ‘’Yeah, I had fun too.’’ Yoosung smiled brightly at him. ‘’We should do this again sometime! …could watch your uh…Space movie thing next!’’ Is he trying to make it up to him? How cute. Seven reached for Yoosung’s hands and held them tight to his chest, which gave the boy a confused look on his face. ‘’Uh….Seven…?’’ With a weak smile, Seven leaned forward and brushed his lips over Yoosung’s, and like a man with nothing more to lose, he pressed their lips together, deepening it enough to taste all of Yoosung. His lips were soft and supple, tasting like sweet caramel, a perfect combination, the sweetest thing Seven has ever tasted so far. ‘’Yoosung…’’ The hacker pulled away only slightly enough to moan the boy’s name. His eyes unfocused and full of love, there was only one thing left to do. ‘’I like you, Yoosung…’’ He whispered with all his heart. Seven pushed their lips together once again, lost in the desperation of what’s to come, not wanting to think about the consequences. He could do that once in a while, could he? Though this time, this could be the second hardest decision he made—voluntarily making Yoosung hate him and avoid the living lights of him. ‘’Wha—what are you doing?!’’ Seven was pushed, their lips separated. The warmth is gone, the sweet taste still lingering on the hacker’s twisted lips. He hung his head low, unable to look at the man he loves so dearly…and who just rejected him. ‘’…..’’ Yoosung said nothing, but Seven could hear him sniffling for a while before getting inside the cab, it driving away. The hacker stared at the back of the car for a while, disregarding the curious looks of the people around him. ‘’It’s over…I can go back to my work now…Vanderwood will be relieved…’’ He wanted to break down here and then, but pulled himself together and went back home. He’ll have time to cry and scream all he wants inside his bunker without anyone interrupting him, after all. He had…no one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 months have passed. At first, Yoosung’s absence from the messenger worried all the other members. Even V, who hardly logged in, noticed the blond’s inactivity and voiced his concern. Then the members decided to visit him if he didn’t pick up their calls, but every time they came over, Yoosung would act like nothing happened and serve them tea, saying that he’s been too busy playing LOLOL to really check in. In truth, the blond’s LOLOL hours were extended from usual; he spent much more time on it, sometimes skipping a few days of school in a row. Seven believed this was done in order to avoid ever running into him. It took about a month until Yoosung began logging in like normal again, and as Seven predicted, the blond so obviously avoided him in chat, making up a random excuse and logging out almost instantly when Seven was on. The hacker, on the other hand, took a couple of days off before he could log onto the messenger again, in order not to raise suspicion. He also kept joking around as usual, even when Yoosung logs in and later excuses himself. Having no interaction for almost half a year, Seven felt himself slowly tear up from the inside. His ‘plan’ didn’t quite work; he still held strong feelings for the younger man, feelings that were eating him up and making his life a living hell. When did he become this weak? Was there anything he couldn’t overcome ever since having no choice but to leave what he loved most behind him? Seven somehow knew why…he could still taste the younger man’s sweet caramel lips on his…no matter how many times he tries to get rid of it. ‘’How long are you gonna keep sulking for?’’ Vanderwood uttered, standing behind the hacker as the latter worked his magic and typed away. For a while, nothing could be heard but clicking sounds in the bunker. The brunet sighed when Seven didn’t answer him; he didn’t know what happened between him and the blond boy, but he could guess. All he needed to know was that Seven messed up, anyway. ‘’Answer me when I’m talking to you, agent Seven Zero Seven.’’ ‘’You’re especially grumpy today, Madam.’’ Seven answered in a monotone voice, still not looking away from the screen. ‘’No, you’re being a real pain in the ass, you know that?’’ ‘’What of it?’’ Seven turned his chair around to look at the brunet. ‘’I’ve done nothing but work for 5 months, is that a problem? My attitude is not getting in the way of my duties.’’ Vanderwood groaned and sighed again; Seven right now reminded him very clearly of how the hacker was before receiving a certain letter that contained god-knows-what that made Seven lighten up drastically. Back then, Seven never smiled and only did his job, was secluded from everyone else and never slept, nor joked nor pulled pranks. Is he going back to that time…? ‘’Well, whatever…’’ Vanderwood rubbed the back of his neck and clicked his tongue before leaving the bunker. To tell the truth, he’s been resting a lot more now that Seven is doing his job properly…but still, something felt off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A few weeks passed, and Seven’s appearance in the chatroom diminished greatly. He tried as best as he could to be like how he used to be before, but even that is proving to be difficult as the younger boy kept avoiding him. Of course he would…first, he was asked out by someone he barely knew, then kissed and confessed to by that someone… ‘’That…must have been his first kiss, too.’’ Seven thought, disgusted with himself for feeling both guilty and glad. How much lower can he get? ‘’He’s…here.’’ Seven sighed and threw his phone elsewhere. He had decided to check out the messenger, hoping to crack a joke then get back to work but…Yoosung was there. Should he try to…? In any case, the boy must have left already. A minute later, the hacker checked his phone…but to his surprise, Yoosung didn’t leave but was instead asking why he wasn’t answering him…along with a crying emoji. Seven’s heart was beating fast and his fingers shaking tremendously; when was the last time they had an ounce of contact with each other? ‘’Yoosung…’’ <Seven O Seven is here! Did someone call for help??> <This handsome defender of justice is~ at~ your~ service!!~> His shaky hands stopped typing, hoping this was enough…what, or rather, how should he deal with this? As soon as he thought that, Yoosung left the chatroom. Seven fell to his knees, feeling weak. Did he make a mistake…was Yoosung not looking for him but someone else? His eyes weren’t showing him what his heart wanted, were they? A few minutes passed and then Seven heard his phone ring. He thought it was his boss calling him in for another load of work but his eyes widened as he saw the name on the screen. ‘’Yoosung….?’’ No way, did the boy press the wrong button? If he didn’t, then that means Seven will have a chance to hear that voice again…the voice that calls out his name ever so soothingly…He took a deep breath to calm himself before picking out his phone and pressing the green button, hoping the younger boy won’t hang up. To be honest, simply hearing his voice would do. It’d make his life less of a living hell for a while. He was looking forward to even hearing his breathing through the phone, just the fact that are in contact with one another is fine, anything is fine…Didn’t the hacker want to be avoided…? Isn’t that why he messed everything up? So why….why, why, why? Why did Yoosung call? With sweaty hands and a quick beating heart, Seven let out his trembling voice. ‘’H-Hello…?’’ [End]

Yeaaah I haven’t been around too much lately. *rubs hands together* Okay m’dear @kc347890, what have you?

kc347890

So, how's life been lately? I start school on the 30th. Kinda sucks. Honestly, working is better than school because at least you get paid. Last Thursday at 6:56 PM

Iiiii must disagree! School is hard, and highschool and below sucks for many reasons, but all school have breaks. It changes every year, sometimes multiple times a year, you meet new people, learn new things, have many a breakdown over stress yes, but eh, life's stressful. Work is unchanging unless you force yourself, and we are creatures of habit. I need, NEED to change jobs because my job has degraded into a terrible one, yet I can't bring myself to go looking because it's Hard(tm) and I don't want to Adult. I will, and it's going to upheave my life, but I'm hoping for good change.

But yes, getting paid is V.Good. That is a definite plus of working over school. I think in the end work has the potential to be better than school, but it rarely is because, ...ugh sorry I don't want to philosophize right now. Basically as a student you have people pushing you, but as an adult you only have yourself. Motivating oneself is veeeery hard.

Uh, and I'm okay! Was in a lot of pain for a couple months there, but it's died down for now. Been busy! I have a little breathing room soon? I took a mental health day on Monday that helped a lot. Was spread too thin for a while and needed some time for myself.

kc347890 Okay, I thought about it, and came up with this. The ultimate question. So, I know that Counter Crisis is kinda about Cloud changing past things and creating a new future, befriending Sephiroth, ect, but what is the main plot of book 2 and 3? Just a curious question that I thought of. Hope all is going well.

*takes a slow, deep breath*

My sweet summer child. Let me tell you a Thing or Two.

Book 1 was the start of everything, it was amazing and fun to develop. Book 2 is going to be great in its own right. But book 3...I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to!!

Book 2 is (spoilers ahead)

When they are pretty much on the run from ShinRa. They're hiding out, harrasing the various ShinRa things going on, realizing Cloud's memory is shit and should not be trusted, and that Sephiroth is the only one of them who can plan his way out of a paper bag. This is where Cloud and Sephiroth’s ACTUAL relationship develops, now that trust has been gained. This is where they have to go up against AVALANCHE, Turks, and other ShinRa factions. This is where they create a world-wide network of spies and rebels.

This book will probably be shorter, and focus on other groups as well since there is so much going on. This is the book where old familiar faces will show up in unfamiliar places. This is where Platefall happens (SO EXCITED).

Yeah, I must admit I don't want to spoil too many specifics. Book 2 is kinda futher development and set up, but there are definitely Things Happening!

Book 3 is where they don't get a moment to breathe. AVALANCHE may be out of the picture, but the new threat is so. much. /worse/. It's personal, it's painful, and it's going to be a non-stop ride.

When Sephiroth was a lone threat, he was almost impossible to chase after, let alone keep up with or get a step ahead of. What happens when there is more than one threat? When the threats are coming from every possible angle? When friends stop being friends? Is it betrayal when your mind is so twisted you are not in control? Will Aerith ever accept Zack's proposal?

Basically, this is when original FF7 game takes place, but of course without Sephiroth as the main baddie. But...who is? (You find out at the end of book 2). What is their motivation? (It's really terrible) What are they after? (Nothing good, here’s a hint one guy’s name starts with an H) There are Ravens and Turks and WEAPONS and SOLDIERS and the resolution of all the plot threads we have going. And possibly map sex. (It was a weird conversation that I think was sparked by Tony Stark.) (Seriously though I don't know if Crisisverse will ever overtly do sex of if it will just be implied. It's not the important part, so it might distract. *shrugs* Isn't coming for a while so we have time to decide.)

So...was that vague enough for you? *laughs* Ask me some specifics and we'll see what we can come up with!

#personal opinions ahead #kc347890 #counter crisis #i feel a little bad at how vague it is #but at the same time what else to do but blurt out spoilers?#there's a thought hmmm

Legacy Deck Tech: Food Chain

[you can see every deck tech here]

Hello & welcome to this weekly deck tech! This week we’re exploring part of the Legacy format with a very spicy deck that is fairly well known: Food Chain. The deck relies on a very powerful & popular EDH card that lends it’s name to the deck; it’s super sweet combo deck that is filled with value & protection. The deck does fairly well in the Legacy meta ever since it’s creation a few years ago and can be somewhat cheap, if you don’t count the dual lands. Let’s jump right into it and see what the deck is all about!

Name of the Deck

Food Chain is a very very powerful card that can easily be abused. You get to exile a creature and generate mana equal to the creature’s CMC, plus one. In EDH people abuse this card alongside Prossh to usually win on the spot for example, since it return to your command zone. In this deck the goal is to go infinite and use all that mana for really spicy things. The only downside is that the mana generated can only be used to cast creatures, so no burning your opponent’s face, sadly.

Going Infinite

This is the combo. That’s it. Deck tech’s over. With this card, you can exile it with Food Chain, gain 5 mana, cast it again from exile, exile it again, etc. You get 1 mana each time out of the deal, essentially gaining you infinite mana. It’s a really simple combo to be honest and it gets around Swords to Plowshare, which is the most popular removal spell of the format.

Going Infinite, Again

With this new addition from Eldritch Moon you can bring up your combo piece to 5 or 6 instead of 4. I don’t really see people play the full 8 since you really just need to resolve 1 of them to win. Usually people play 3 Griffin & 2 Scourge, that way, if someone plays Nevermore or something similar, you have a back-up creature. I’m not sure why Scourge isn’t played in more numbers, since it’s CMC is lower, but I think it’s mostly because Food Chain costs 3 so you’d rather be on curve with a 4cmc Griffin the next turn or something like that.

Mana Hungry Mama

This is your main pay-off card. You just slam down Emrakul, take your extra turn and crash it with that big Annihilator trigger. There is usually nothing your opponent can do about this. Plus, playing this in your main deck provides some great match-ups against Show & Tell since you’ll often just be able to cheat yours into play as well and you’ll get to attack first, meaning they’ll screw themselves over.

These Ballistas are Made for Walking

With a brand new addition from Aether Revolt, this card just does exactly what you want it to do. It adds a well needed win condition to the deck since you can just cast an essentially infinite/infinite Ballista and shoot down your opponent with it. With this card you have 2 angles you can win from and that’s usually plenty. Just get a bunch of mana and win, the deck is fairly simple right?

Early Mana

From the previous cards, you could imagine the deck being a Mono-Blue combo deck with some back-up counter that just splashes Green for the Food Chains, and while that could technically work, it’s not the best way to go. There has been quite a few iterations of the deck but what seems to be the best build is Sultai. You get access to Deathrite Shaman who generates good early mana, as well as get rid of pesky cards from graveyards. Oh, and if one of your creature gets killed you can exile it from YOUR graveyard to cast it again. What a good synergy!

Filtering

You can to scour through your deck to find your pieces. First thing you need to assemble your combo, so you need to find a Food Chain & one of your creatures; then you need to find one of your payoff cards. What is essential is to dig through your deck as efficiently as possible to find those cards. Brainstorm provides that early digging to find everything you need, plus with fetches you can just shuffle away anything you don’t want. You can also run some Ponder if you really feel like it.

Manipulating

A card that probably only sees play in this deck, in which it’s amazing. For only 2 cmc you get to grab 3 of your much needed creatures from your deck & exile them. This means you’ll have 3 chances at trying to combo off. Plus you draw a card, so that’s cool.

Digging & Digging

Even more draw & value, this mean little bird provides some great blocking potential as well as replacing itself, drawing even deeper into your deck to find what you need. There is not much else to say about this card, it’s just really good.

Digging Even Deeper

Now this is starting to look like a Shardless Sultai deck list, which to be honest so of does. Shardless Agent is just soooooooooooo good, you get to really dig and find what you need, getting you some extra value out of it and keep drawing cards. The deck is essentially trying to get a whole lot of value out of cheap cards until it can combo, and it does that so well.

Please, Use Protection

You’re running a combo AND you’re playing blue...you need Force of Will. Come on, you have to be able to protect your stuff. If you really want to you can also run a couple Misdirection to avoid Abrupt Decay & such, but that’s entirely up to you. But there is no way around it, you need to protect your cards.

Does it Look Infected?

Since you’re playing Sultai, you sort of need to play Abrupt Decay to deal with whatever is on the other side of the table. It was really good against Miracles since it passed through the Top+Counterbalance lock, but since Top is now banned I’m not sure that Miracles will still be around that much...In any case, Abrupt Decay is still amazingly powerful in the format and is a MUST if you’re playing those colours.

Wrap-Up

That’s it for this week! The deck is fairly simple, being a value-packed Sultai deck with a sweet combo. The deck can be fairly cheap if you’re not too picky on the mana base, like without the dual lands it should be around 500$ which is very cheap for a tier Legacy deck. It’s not a SUPER popular deck, so don’t expect to face it that often, but it is putting out great results and is often seeing top 8 finishes. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this deck tech as much as I did, if I missed anything let me know! I’ll see you guys next week for an EDH deck tech!

Too all the Supercorp shippers who keep saying James Olsen should be “deleted” “got rid of” or “killed off” the show now Lena has been promoted to series regular for season three I want to congratulate you all for winning the shitty shippers in the fandom award. A title long held by all the Karamel shippers who harass James Olsen fans and harass Mechad Brooks on Twitter. (please note not all Karamel shippers are shitty shippers just the ones who do shippy things like what I talking about here)

Honestly I thought those Karamel shippers where ugliness and most racist people in the fandom but nope some supercrop shippers have accepted the challenge and are stepping up to take over that role. (please note not all supercorp shippers are shitty shippy just the calling for James to be kicked off the show for Lena to get more screen time.)

I guess you hateful shippers don’t care how important having black man like James Olsen is on tv. Now important it is for kids to see themselves reflected in the media. How important it for black children to see positive black characters in the media. To have black superheroes, black CEOs, black award winning journalists, black loves interest in healthy relationships (be it with Lucy or Kara or hopefully someone still to come). Don’t you get how important the episode that dealt women’s anger was when James talked about black men anger and how their anger is handled by the outside world. But it’s toooooootaaaaallllllly more important to get rid this wonderful positive black character now we got one more white person as an series regular to go with this 99.9% white actors on the show. What’s next? Are you going to start in on J’onn? Make sure we have just white folks left? Remember Maggie maybe called a character of color but the actress is white. M’agnn is gone. The woman who worked for Lena who was like one few women of color/minor characters on the show is gone because she turned out to be a bad guy. (how original evil poc) Winn’s new girlfriend? White actress. I’m being serious here we have two black men on the show give us representation. That’s it for main cast.. There is no other real representation for people of color. Black women? No? Asian men or women? Nope. Latina? Just a white woman with tan so insulting. So back your racist asses up.

I see supercorp shippers talk about how important it is for young women to have more gay representation on tv and much good Supergirl could do by having Kara and Lena be together. I agree with it would be huge! Just look all the good Alex’s story has done even will the little screen time the writers are giving it. But I guess it’s only important that (white) gay representation takes place on the show not representation for everyone else. Somehow letting everyone have representation on the show at the same time isn’t warranted or worthy or wanted. Just think about that as you call for representation with one hand and try to slap down representation for others with the other hand.

So you don’t like James Olsen. Fine not everyone likes the same characters but you hopefully get now how important he is. I think he’s great character with lots of great aspects to his character. Is he prefect? No. Is he always right? No. Is Kara perfect or always right? No. Because perfect, non flawed characters are boring. You don’t have like him! That’s fine. Does he really have to be ‘deleted from the show’ to make way for Lena? When there is no reason they couldn’t share the screen? When he’s so important and does so much good? I just have to ask why do you want him off the show now Lena is series regular? Is possibly because he use to be Kara’s love interest? Because he held an anti Luthor stands which he was wrong and admitted he was wrong about remember the ‘I’m sorry I was wrong’? Is just because he’s black? Because he’s a man? Or is it because you want no one else to have any screen time with Kara but Lena? Wow that sounds soooooooooooo familiar! Almost as if we are suffering through it right now with white man taking over everything & his shippers who think that’s wonderful & want rid James Olsen because they have irrational fear that he’s threat to their ship so they want him gone, gone, gone. btw I ship Karolsen but know the ship is dead. Most shippers who love their ship always hold out hope that the ship will come back but I faced the reality that there is no coming back to life for Karolsen. It’s over it’s not coming back and the writers have made it very clear. So if you hating James over some bull shit of ‘he could be threat to my ship’ line of thinking they you better go read some quotes from producers on why they ended the ship. Your are barking up the wrong tree. The writers do not want to go with Karolsen as romantic ship anymore. They like the friendship angle only. Then spent all season two trying to retcon that Kara even had romantic feelings for James. Karolsen is not just dead the writer trying hide the body by lighting it on fire so it’ll burn away the evidence that there body to begin with. Course they doing it with bad writing but it’s happening all the same whether I like it or not. Look how far we are in the season and writers have not addressed karolsen save for the 3 minute break up of ‘let just be friends’ which made no sense at the start of the season. It’s over it’s finished! The writers do not want to deal with it ever again. It’s just friendship. James Olsen is not a threat to any ship Kara has or will have. Kara will never be a threat to ship he could if ever gets another one. So James Olsen is not threat to your ship! Mon-El and whoever may come next to replace Mon-El is threat to your ship. James Olsen is an important to Kara as friend, workmate, and follow super hero. He’s important to fans and in the media for all black people.

I can’t believe this ‘delete James Olsen’ like go jump in a cold lake and wake up! How can you cry for representation for one thing as you call for another group to have their representation to be taken away? Why? WHY? There is no reason James has to go! James Olsen does not stop Supercrop. James does not hurt Lena’s screen time. Infact one more white person added as regular to the show the way things stand right now could be more a threat to his screen time with the way the writers are treating him. Kara and Lena can get married tomorrow and you know what James Olsen would be doing? Smiling at the wedding happy that Kara is happy and looking after the city as Guardian while Kara goes on her honeymoon. I’m so mad at this ‘delete James Olsen’.

#mechad brooks #supercorp #james olsen #I'll get shit for this but this makes me so mad #just like mon-el #anti karamel #anti mon-el

Chapeter 1: Visions

Echos across Time and Space Book One: "Something Wicked this way Comes"

An: Welcome =) I’m so excited for this story. This is the start of a Harry Potter fan fiction that I started on Fanfiction-dot-net that I am still in the process or writing. I hope you’ll enjoy! Aditional Note: the "Old English" being used is actually not Old per say, it is Shakespereian english and I am using a translator so dont get upset please. I will provide a translation (according to my translator) at the end of each chapter Disclaimer: As much as I hate admitting it I dont own Harry Potter (I think Mrs Rowling shoud rewrite the series though, its got so much she can add to it)

Chapter 1- Visions

'What WAS that!?'

Godric Gryffindor, age 21, had been wondering that all day. Thankfully, he had an expert Seer as a friend and was just awaiting his arrival. Speaking of which......

"Hello mine cater-cousin, how art thou?[1]" Godric greeted his long time friend Myrddin Emrys at the door of his home.

"Godric mine corky cater-cousin, 'tis good to seeth thou again. I am well. How doth thou fair?[2]" Myriddin said cheerfully walking up to Godric

Godric sighed wearily as he embraced the man he saw as a close brother. “Not well, not well at all I feareth. I've been up nearly half the night pond'ring a dream that I had. [3]" Godric responded before leading Myrddin to the sitting room. After ensuring a house elf brought him and Myrddin some wine, Godric studied Myrddin for several minutes. Myrddin was silent the whole time for he knew his friend well. Godric usually got this way when he was in deep thought or trying to order his thoughts. Sure enough after staring for a bit Godric blinked and sighed. "This dream, I am sure 'tis a vision of the distant future. I was hoping thou couldst aid me towards und'rstanding it [4]," Godric said, his voice a picture of exhaustion. Myrddin nodded in understanding of the problem. While his brother in all but blood was not classified as a true Seer, Godric did get the odd vision every now and again.

“Telleth me broth'r," Myrddin said "Speak to me some of this vision so that i may prop'rly parley with the Fates to break this with them[5]."

"I wouldst if I couldst broth'r, howev'r I Saw an entire life's time ov'r half the night, [6]" Godric said quietly.

After a few moments of silence Godric continued "The most vivid of the vision howev'r was that of a young lad with hair as black as a raven, vivid bright green eyes that shin'd with pow'r as if they w're em'ralds and a fad'd lightning bolt scar 'pon his brow....[7]".

Here Godric paused and scrunched up his face while he focused on what he could recall of the next part.

"He was fighting a. . . . . . . I doth not wot if I shouldst clepe that being a man," he said slowly, trying to keep focused on the memory. "He wilt hast been bef're as he walk'd on two forks and carri'd a wand of focus. But that one's humanity appear'd to hast left him long ago. An'yhow, this young man was fighting the beast in a castle's ruins and. . . . . well, and then I awoke. [8]"

Myrddin sat back in his seat and nodded.

"Giveth me but a moment mine cater-cousin. I will hast an answ'r from the Fates and let thou wot their answ'r in a while [9]," he said. Godric nodded and motioned for Myrddin to continue.

As Godric watched Myrddin quietly, his mind drifted back to the white bearded man in his vision. In Godric's opinion 'Albus too-many-names Dumbledore' was just as much a monster as this Voldemort character. Albeit a different and in some ways more dangerous monster than Voldemort, but still........

'If I was sent this vision f'r a reason. . . nay, I bett'r hold my thoughts until Myrddin confirms 'r denies this [10].' A few minutes later Myrddin's eyes blinked open before looking straight at Godric.

"It seems that the Fates need us both to give our aid to the future. Thou to aid this raven hair'd young fellow and I to assist thou in this endev'r with mine en'rgy,[11]" he said after a few moments of gathering his thoughts.

"I seeth, 'tis as I thought then. V'ry well, what doth we need to do to get started?[12]" Godric responded.

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

Several days later, Godric and Myrddin traveled to Stonehenge, the most magic saturated area in England. Godric was relieved, he had been worried that the local magical village wouldn’t allow them use of the site. But after having explained the situation to them, the locals-who were consequently Druids who believed in the balance of nature-agreed to allow them one time use of the site.

As Myrddin got the site set up for the ritual he was going to perform, Godric checked the supplies for the journey back to his house before checking the letter he was planning to send along with the charms on the parchment attached to the letter. He also checked over the package he intended to send with both parchments before nodding while looking at the pure white phoenix perched on his shoulder.

The phoenix had found Myrddin and Godric's camp just the other day. According to the Druids, she told them her name was Hedwig and that her home had been the very time they were sending the letter too. She had been hit by the spell that Godric's own mentor had created. Her spirit had lingered for a time near where her body had lay. Fortunately, before she could decide to move on, a royal phoenix that she knew well had appeared to her.

Fawkes, the royal one's name, had asked her if she wanted to leave her boy. When Hedwig said no, Fawkes had given up his own life force to her, turning her into this phoenix. She said it took her a while to recover and when she did she had found herself in the current time period.

Since then she had been desperately searching for a way home and, after hearing from a few animals of 2 leg walkers who had been heard talking about time travel she had sought them out and had found them only a day's travel away from Stonehenge. After Godric heard that, he and Myrddin had worked on altering the ritual they had created to include sending a live creature through as well.

'Tis almost time lass, art thou ready to return to thy home?[13]" Godric asked her softly.

The white one trilled a joyful note and then nuzzled Godric before letting out a lower more sorrowful note. She and Godric had become fast friends. They both also knew they would see each other again, even if that version of her might not remember him.

''Tis alright lass, 'tis not farewell simply a temp'rary good bye. [14]"

"Godric, 'tis time," Myrddin said from by the ritual circle.

Godric nodded and stroked Hedwig's head gently a bit before handing her the letter and shrunk the package tying it to her leg.

"Happy fortune to you lass, safe travels," he mumbled. She took the letter in her beak before heading over to the middle of the circle and settling down on the ground.

Both men got on either side of the circle and started chanting in Welsh, neither noticing the glow of the circle lighting the area. Both were busy picturing a young man that had raven black hair that stuck out at all angles of his head, bright emerald green almond shaped eyes, what looked like funny double eye monicles and most vividly, a lightning bolt shaped scar resting on his forehead in the center.

It took 30 minutes and a lot out of them both of them, but when Godric opened his eyes Hedwig was gone with her package. 'Good Fortune to you Hedwig,’ Godric thought as he looked quietly up at the sky. -----------

115 miles and 992 years away, 17 year old Harry Potter was surprised as a white phoenix appeared, perching on his lap and clutching in her beak 2 pieces of parchment.
