Teacher Knows Best 1 (One shot) Negan X Mark OC (Walking Dead) (Yandere)

[Hello My Sexy Readers, I am back with a new chapter a request from Months ago with Mark or Marie who was a student of a college professor Negan and meets him again in the RV Scene. Enjoy!)

(marks pov)

I sat in the RV as I hear talking from outside. "Let's get you all on your knees-dwight- check the RV." I hear as I hid in the shower, behind the curtain. It didn't take long before I was found though as I was grabbed and dragged out, thrown to the ground as I groan.

"On your knees..now."

I slowly get on my knees as I look over at my brother and my father as I tried to not cry.

One of the men walked over. "What's wrong little boy-- you gonna cry?" He mocked as I tried to choke down a sob as I hear another voice. A.. A familiar voice.

"Well I be damned." He says and I looked up at him. "Little mark."

I stare shocked as I shook. "W-What..? I-I..I-I don't.. understand..I-I want m-my daddy" I said as I held my hand out to my dad beside to me.

He glared at him and picked me up and I started to scream. "No no no n-no!!!"

I was horrified as I reach out for him.

"We can talk--please don't take my boy! He needs me!"

"He is not you boy anymore." He says. "He is mine."

I looked at him scared as he suddenly handed me to two other people.

(Negan's pov)

I looked back at Mark as I smirked as he had ended up passing out from crying.

God he was so fucking hot, even after the world went to shot. He was the hottest one at the campus..and god I've gotten off to him so many Times. Especially after..

I watched as Mark once more walked into gym class wearing these- these tiny.little gym shorts and a tank top with a sports bra

I was stunned by it those thighs were so thick and beautiful. I would recognize them anywhere! And that ass! But the best of all was his pretty face not just because it was a pretty boy face but he had the kindest eyes and nicest smile. It was that that caused me to try and get close to him, pressing against him from behind while he stretched, I'm pretty sure he pushed back into me one time.

Then when we did actual stuff. God just the memory made me rock hard

(flashback)

"Mark I've noticed your grades are falling.."

"...I'm just..stressed out..I'm not exactly accepted here.."

I did notice that some of his classmates even tormented him. It was like freaking highschool and not university

"I was hoping...well I was hoping to..to drop out maybe. I don't think this is a class for me." He said as he played with his hands.

If he dropped out I would not be able to see him.

"Mark-look you're a great athlete, I'd hate to see you leave. You have so much potential-and I'd miss having you in my class--" I was cut off when he kissed me and pulled away.

"I'm sorry sir--" he looked away

I pulled him back into another kiss and he gasps.

However he slowly wrapped his arms around me before I pull away. "No-I-I don't want you to feel I'm taking advantage." I mutter as he looked at me.

"You're not! Please."

"Mark this is wrong--" he pulled off the shirt he was wearing showing the bralette he was wearing underneath.

I moaned and her pressed into me.

"Please I want you~" he moans

"and no one needs to know..I promise" he said his voice breathy as he looked up at me with lidded eyes as his hand slowly rubbed down to my shorts.

I groaned and thrust into his small delicate hand

He shuddered as he pushed his hand past my boxers and wrapped his hand around me.

"I'll tell you a secret sir.." he muttered as he slowly began to stroke me. "I'm not wearing any underwear..~"

I groaned and slipped my hand in his shorts and feel a very large cock in my hands

He let out this..well adorable moan as he gripped onto me. Like this was a new experience.

"Is this your first time~" I tease

However his face went red as he looked away. "Is..it that obvious..?"

I smirked and kissed him again I was his first~

I grip onto him as I let my hands run down his body as his hand went to move away from my cock as he grabbed onto me.

"Can..can I see it..?" he asked

"Of course you can baby~" I sayI held him get onto his knees as he looked up at me. I always imagined him to be a little sex crazed, but he really was as he pulled my shorts down with my boxers as he stared at it.

"I-it's really big.." he said looking up at me as he wrapped his small hand around it.

I moaned as he began to work my cock. It was clumsy but god it felt good.

He really had soft hands. "Can you fit it in your mouth baby girl?" I asked as I was letting go of whatever professionalism I was trying to hold. I was only fooling myself.

He looked up at me as he took the tip into his mouth only to make a face.

"Hey don't make that face, don't be a brat." I said as

He pulled away. "N-Not that..I just..I realized..how am I supposed to fit it all in?" He asked as I eased up and actually laughed.

"You don't got to put the whole fucking thing in- just put as much as you can in that little mouth of yours." I said as he went back down on me as I groan. "Jesus fucking Christ-you've got one hell of mouth of yours works fucking wonders." I groan out.

He blushed and started to bob his head.

"Yeah! Use your fucking sexy mouth on my fucking cock you slutty little baby~ so good for daddy~ so damn good~"

He let out a moan as he shuddered as a wet spot appeared on his shorts as he gripped my thighs, his nails lightly digging into my thighs as he thrust a little to get friction on his own cock. Little cock hungry slut~

"Yeah you like daddy's huge fucking cock you naughty cock hungry little slut~" I purr

He moaned again in response as he tried to take more of me but was unable to as he kept trying as I hear a knock on my door as I stop.

"Shit-- under the desk." I said as he scrambled under as the principal came in.

"Sorry for dropping by with no notice. I just wanted to check if you are available still For the track and field."

"Yeah I should--shit!" I cried out when I felt his mouth on my cock.

"What?"

"I-I just remembered- I have a meeting at 7 pm that day?" I said.

"Oh it's ending at 6 pm. You'll be okay." She said as she smiled and left, closing the door.

I looked at her as she looked up at me and smirked around my cock the little minx!

I grab onto her hair. "You want to be a little brat huh?" I asked as she simply smirked more moaning at the grip I had on her. "Then I'll just fuck that naughty mouth of yours until you behave." I said as I grab her head and force her to deep throat me as she gagged around me but I held her head in place With my hand. Smirking as she let out a whimper as she began to drool.

"Not so much a brat now?" I say and began to fuck her sissy girl throat

She gagged a bit as she gripped onto my knees but slowly gained a rhythm.

"That's right, fucking take your teachers fat cock down your throat!"

She moaned as she stroked what wasn't in her mouth. I smirked and soon came thrusting all the way in and cumming straight down her throat. She swallowed all my seed like a good little slut~"now.." I said as she perked up, looking at me excited. "because of that little...stunt- you're going to have to leave to get to class on time." I said as her Smile faded.

"Wait-n-no come on-- you can't D-Do that. P-Please. Please daddy."

"No no, but if you are good I will see you after class~" I say and she nodded and tucked her cock.

Oh baby she was mine~

(End flash back)

That was our first time together~ but we did so much more~

[YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Another chapter done, I hope that you all enjoyed and stay sexy all my friends!]

[Also this is the 100 post to this!]

I feel like The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy isn't talked about enough so I compiled a very poorly written list of some of my favourite parts

Monty may have been very misguided about just how difficult it was for Felicity to succeed in the medical field but you can see our lad is drinking his Respect Women Juice every morning, thank you for your effort Monty

(Percy is already an expert in Respecting Women)

On that note I appreciate that at this point Monty and Felicity's relationship is basically

Monty: this is my sister Felicity, she is very brave and smart and we all adore her. Yes she's quite annoying too but I love her very much and I have no doubt that she will achieve amazing things with her life Felicity: this is my brother Monty and he's a rat bastard baby man. Yes I love him but more importantly he's a THOT

Our first impression of Sim is that she's annoyed by the excessive amount of white men in London

That guy just tackling Monty and causing them both to fall into the Thames, mmm whatcha sayy

It's great to finally see Felicity's perspective for many reasons but especially because in tggtvav we just see her through Monty's eyes, so it's all 'wow Felicity is so brave and strong and clever we would all be dead if not for her' whereas her inner monologue is actually just 'shit shit shit what do I know now shit'

MAX

Honestly as soon as Johanna was introduced I fell instantly in love with her

Felicity having to be like 'NO IT'S NOT BLOOD I JUST SPLIT AN ENTIRE GLASS OF WINE ON MYSELF AND THEN FELL INTO A CAKE'

Shout out to those two kissing girls at Frau Engel's, I hope they're doing okay

Johanna calling Felicity out on her 'I'm not like other girls' bullshit and informing her that she's still the same intelligent girl she knew, the fact that she likes dresses and bows now doesn't change that and why should she give a shit whether or not men take her seriously, she's living to make herself happy

Felicity immediately changing her views after this and realizing that girls are fucking awesome and by measuring them by how men percieve them she's just rebranding sexism

Honestly all the feminist takes in this book were so good

That minute where we thought they'd walked into a place filled with organs and severed limbs before it's revealed that they're just wax lmao

Just the Science Girl Gang in general

Johanna genuinely thinking Monty's ear grew back

The fact that the kiss between Sim and Felicity didn't lead to any drama when Felicity said she didn't still didn't really feel any kind of sexual/romantic attraction, Sim just accepted it and they were still friends who just kind of had platonic crushes on eachother

Felicity's asexuality in general was handled really well

THE BABY SEA DRAGON

I already knew Platt was an asshole but holy shit fuck him

'Swaggering into the room in a way that would have been ridiculous had he not been so good-looking' I'm sorry Mackenzi Lee was that a Great Comet reference

Johanna kicking Monty in the balls

Percy and Monty both hugging Felicity at once, they're all too pure

Literally none of the men were creepy when Felicity had to take off her petticoat to show them the embroidered map, they all looked away and my man Scipio didn't even want to touch the petticoat - honestly I shouldn't have to remark on this but it just shows how rare it is that a group of men actually respect women and their autonomy, and this is a group of pirates who've probably all killed people

The whole battle scene was just really well-written and really showed the reality of the situation

The sea dragon just fuckin SINKING the ship, hell yeah ms. sea dragon

The ending in general was so pure

I love that this book carried on with the theme of self love that's present in the first one - that whole repeated message of you deserve to be here, and how one of the most defiant things you can do in a world that wants to oppress you to is to be proud of who you are and allow yourself to do what makes you happy

Anyway feel free to add more because this whole book was so good! That was a very messy synopsis lol

#the lady's guide to petticoats and piracy #tlgtpap #the gentleman's guide to vice and virtue #tggtvav #felicity montague #johanna hoffman #simmaa aldajah #monty montague #percy newton #mackenzi lee

winter reminiscence pt . 2

Summary: Upon meeting Timothee on the bus, Y/N goes to her favorite bookstore, while Timothee goes out to his study place, to get their minds off of each other. Unfortunately, for both of them it is a small world they live in and luck was not on their side, or was it?

word count: 1,967 reading time aprox: 7 mins

timothee's pov

From the turn the bus had taken after she had gotten off to a few stations down, I sat despairingly in my seat, cooped up in evident mental suppression. I ran my fingers through my curls, while my other hand played with the ‘Columbia University’ tassel that hung from my side pocket, scanning the surroundings and finding the bus a ghost town.

“Kid, this is the last stop” The bus driver announced over the loudspeaker, the wheels screeching to a halt, catching my attention.

“Sorry, thank you” I apologized, apprehensively waving a hand to gesture my atonement. With that I stepped off the bus and made my merry way to the coffee shop where I would buy my daily dose of caffeine.

The sign read “bon café” in luminescent script, surrounded by cartoons of miniature succulents and vines that draped across the cafe’s door frame. The aesthetic of the place reminded me of the trips to Marseille with my dad whenever I’d fly to France to meet him. The greek inspired textured walls, the little ornaments of boats, and the paintings of water would be what my father called “la plus belle époque architecturale”.

Standing by the counter, I took my place in line while listening to the muted tracks of ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘White Christmas’ that battled against the chatter that filled the atmosphere. As soon as I got to the front, I ordered a hot chocolate and a buttered bagel, knowing that I was going to be here for a while.

I picked up my order from the counter, and chose a two-seater in the corner where a single ficus stood, an overhead light illuminating the table. I rested my Anthropology textbook in front of me, opening to the review page as I studied for my Midterms.

The rings of the welcome bell by the front door would take me out of my concentration, although I tried to focus on the material in front of me. But what really did it for me was the change of music in the place, the cheery seasonal playlist was swapped out for a Beatles song, specifically, ‘Here Comes The Sun’, more specifically:

her favorite song

It seemed as if I suddenly forgot how to read as my eyes scanned the same phrase over and over again. With this, I closed the book aggressively, shutting my eyes in irritation and dragging my hands over my face. In addition to this, as the song ended, ‘She Loves You’, another song from the beatles, came on.

With a groan, I rested my head on the surface of the table, banging my head in attempt to physically shake out all the sensations and memories I wish I regretted.

“She’s my best friend Y/N! Why can’t you understand that” I muttered in a low tone, pinching the bridge of my nose as I tried to keep this stupid and unreasonable fight to rest.

“I’m not saying I don’t understand Timmy, I get it! She’s your best friend and I understand that completely. But how do you expect me to react when she’s telling all her little friends that you, quote on quote, told her you wanted to kiss her” She counteracted, crossing her arms while shaking her head at me, which seemed to fuel me even more.

“That’s how we joke around and it was through text. Gosh, can you even take a joke?” I justified

“So that’s joking around, huh. Right Timmy? That’s joking around” She asked, sarcasm dripping off every word she spoke. “But whenever another guy dm’s me, suddenly, you want to log into my account to check them out and then magically they get erased from my message box. Right Timmy?”

I stood silent as anger began bubbling through my veins, traveling upwards towards my face as rouge began to show through my pale skin. With clenched fists, and gritted teeth, I managed to get out “So what do you want me to do, huh, do you want to stop being friends with her?”

“That’s not what I’m saying Chalamet, I’m literally just here confronting you on a situation that I’ve heard of” She stated, letting out a breath as her passive-aggressive words slipped out from her lips.

“But that’s what you want, don’t you? You want me to stop talking to her?”

“That’s not what I’m sayi-”

“No you tell me” I stated firmly, cutting her off mid-sentence. “If that’s what it takes for you to drop this, I will” I confessed, staring at her blankly, my lips frozen in a line.

“Yes” She nodded, sighing as she rubbed the side of her temples. “But I don’t want you to do it, if you really don’t want to. I don’t want to sacrifice your convenience for mine” She added on, her natural compassion trickling into her speech.

Taking out my phone, I searched up the contact that I had of my best friend and with a little hesitation, clicked the block button and placed my phone back in my pocket.

“There” I replied dryly. “Anything for you”

y/n’s pov

Trudging through the melted ice, I made my way to a modest bookstore that nobody really knew about. It was in a quaint neighborhood in Brooklyn that had old fashioned cobble streets, filled with extraordinary and history filled antique shops, charming eateries and cafes, museums, and statues of people long gone.

Quickening my pace, I pushed against the glass door and into the, fortunately, heated space filled with countless amounts of literature. What I loved about this secret library was that it was a hidden gem in the area as it isn’t particularly visible compared to the garnished and well-decorated buildings beside it.

The plain peach walls and the small reading benches created a cozy atmosphere, a perfect place to sit down and embark on adventures through other people’s written words.

Shimmying through the aisles, my fingers ran to touch the spines of the old books as I, once again, found myself in between the ‘coming-of-age’ and ‘historical dramas’ section. Closing my eyes, I continued to feel the books until I landed on a random novel, plucking it out of the shelf, I opened my eyes to see printed “Little Women” as the title.

With a curious smile, I read the blurb eager to set upon another expedition. Maybe one to get my mind off of my own trying times. It seemed to be about four sisters, set back in the Civil War Era, that described the values of poverty and family.

Approving the book, I read the first few pages and walked over to the counter, where a brittle old lady with an obnoxious hat and humongous reading glasses sat idle.

“Good afternoon” I greeted, handing her the copy I had taken from the shelf, waiting patiently as she tried finding the barcode for the book.

“Little Women I see, I remember when I was about your age I would find myself gravitating towards this book again and again” She grinned, releasing a hearty chuckle that ended up in a coughing fit. “Pardon me, I guess the old lungs don’t work like they ought to” She admitted.

Throughout her spiel, numerous scans had been demonstrated and nothing but a red bulb light up, indicating there was some sort of error. “Oh golly me, I apologize for the inconvenience young lady. I guess I’m not the only one getting old” She joked.

I politely joined in, but ultimately grimaced as she proceeded to bang on the machine with unknowing force. “This might be a while” She bashfully disclosed. “If anything, please feel free to browse, this’ll be about 15 to 30 minutes”

With a courteous nod, I notified her of my return later on as I stepped outside of the store, basking in the imposing village around me. With a breath of fresh air, my eyes landed on an archaic coffee shop embellished with shrubbery across the street to where I was.

I squinted my eyes at the outside menu plastered on a chalkboard near the entrance, although my nearsightedness limited me as I only recognized blots of white chalk and of what looked like script.

An abrupt grumbling noise broke the quiet air and I felt a twist in my stomach. Suddenly, I felt the craving for a chocolate croissant and maybe a brownie or three. The scent traveling from the crepe cart near me didn’t help with the situation, my sense of smell lolling in the piquant aroma.

I walked across the street clutching my stomach as I was rather not keen in being cold and hungry. The glass front came into view, squaring in on various college students chatting about or studying and business men absorbed into typing furiously on their laptops.

Opening the door, I was instantly hugged by the smell of coffee and the warmth provided by the old fashioned heaters, finding a spot on line to order a few things.

timothee’s pov

The ringing of the cafe bell snapped me out of my thoughts, bringing me back to reality, where I suppressed those memories in the back of my head. Opening my textbook once again, I forced myself to invest my full fledged attention to the course.

At least that was the initial plan, when a phone dropped in front of my table for the second time today, causing me to do a double take as the scene from my memories has discernibly come to life in front of me.

y/n’s pov

“Shit!” I cursed gracefully, tripping over an old rug and hearing the sound of my phone’s impending doom. With a sigh, I turned around with a croissant stapled to my lips and a brownie bag in one hand. “I’m so sorry-” I mumbled through the baked good, but stopped when found my phone in the same place as it was before.

Realization hit me and mortification soon inundated my stance, my current appearance giving a sharp blow to my dignity as Timothee sat handsomely in his seat.

“You seriously need pants with deeper pockets” He quipped, handing me my phone with an uncomfortable smile. Gazing at my state with condolence.

“Thank you...” I paused, “Again for, you know, saving my phone” I replied stiffly. Never meeting his fixed stare, I focused on the tips of my shoelaces, reminiscing on my favorite episode of Phineas and Ferb, my thoughts carelessly diverting my attention to these fond memories.

“So, um, how have you been?” He asked with a tight smile, folding his textbook close.

“I’ve been great” I replied a little too enthusiastically like I had something to prove. I looked at him chastely, noticing the flecks of brown in his irises, something I’d spend hours fixated on when we’d lie in bed. “How’s college going on for you?” I asked, referring to the book in front of him.

“Oh yeah, college, it’s difficult, I guess” He answered with a dry chuckle, scratching the back of his head.

Sensing the unpleasantness in the air, I nodded at him and smiled, the chattering voices in the background unable to fill the awkward silence between us. “Um, anyway. I best be going” I said, the words basically fumbling out from my tongue.

I hastily reeled around, making a full 180 as my heartbeat threatened to fall out of my chest with the pace it’s been going at. Tucking my phone in my back pocket, I pursued an escape route from the arduous ambience.

However, the action was pulled to a halt when I felt an all too familiar hand grip my wrist falteringly.

“Wait”

Timothee spoke with a dawdling and reluctant voice, in which I turned around prudently, looking into his unreadable eyes.

But at least this time, he was looking back at mine.

1x13 - The thin line between Chuck and Nate

That’s a really long tittle for an episode. I wasn’t planning on doing this recap today, but I’m anxious and I needed some distraction, and so here we are.

This is quite the episode. I apologize in advance about the length of this recap. So here we go.

Thougths i had while watching the episode:

Not that it can be forgotten but the opening scene of this episode is such a reminder of how stalkerish the gossip girl site is

I had totally forgot about Jenny, like now that I think about it I didn’t even notice she wasn’t on the last couple of episodes, wow.

I actually laughed at Dan’s and Rufus stunned silence.

Somehow Dan I don’t believe you love Serena, I believe you think so, but that’s not the same as actually loving someone.

I’m not expert in the Queen bee and her clique hierarchy, but it’s says a lot about her that Jenny actually tries to stand up herself, like if you think about it she’s a freshman, and not even from the UES and she’s already really set on stating her place.

Plot twist: the test was for Blair, dun dun dun

We have seen it before, but this is the first time we actually start to see the extent of Blair’s ability for going into denial mode, and Serena explains it masterfully, so much that “the movie playing in Blair’s head about her life” it’s something I’ve seen a lot since I first watched this show to describe some of Blair’s anticts through the show.

Maybe I’am a total bitch, have you thougth about that? It’s one my fave Blair’s lines.

Blair and Nate having a nice cute moment, while Chuck watches in the shadows, and Blair is just like sorry not sorry, auch.

I honestly don’t understand why Jenny is so surprised Blair is never going to really like her, like she said she has spend the last six months on it, being a minion, what did she expect, Blair is not nice, and that comes across, like two minutes after meeting her.

I love Serena’s gold coat, not that I blame her, but she gave up really fast.

Like even ignoring the fact that Jenny was eavesdropping, I’m not a fan of Serena telling Dan that, at least not the Blair part.

Jenny’s face is like “wow this is the gossip of the decade” hilarious.

Serena saying “he does have a this weird influence over her” is a very telling line about them.

I’ve realized that while I like his characters, Rufus storylines are really boring when they are not related to Lily.

Chuck’s outfts in S1 were something else, not in a good way.

Serena being all like damn, had I known that I wouldn’t have told you this. I feel bad or fher, because It’s one of those cases were having good intentios and helping your friends actually makes everything worse.

“I command myself not to be pregnant” have I’ve mentioned I love Blair?

“I would have no idea what to wear to a paternity hearing” this line would never be hilarious, and Serena if it wasn’t for pre natal DNA tests, you probably would have picked that outif.

“So goodbye mistake, so far in my past I can hardly remember” that was harsh Blair, and I’m not justifying what Chuck does next, but I’ve always felt that for knowing him like she did, it was naive of her to believe he wouldn’t retaliate.

That scene of Blair waliking down the stairs while everyone gossips about her is so well done, the visuals, the voices around her, you really feel it, and feel for her.

Jenny spilling the beans to Nate, really steppingi in the game now.

That was a fight that was a long time coming since 1x07, and I love this scene, it’s interesting that Nate is mad, and probably hurt, and yet is Chuck the one that looks really hurt by it in the end of the scene.

Again, I understand why Nate is mad, but considering he actually cheated on Blair with Serena, he cames across as being a really hypocrite in his fight with Blair.

I love Serena, but she’s like immediately jumping on Dan and Jenny’s defence, without even really listening to Blair, not trying to understand why she’s upset. Of course Blair being Blair retaliates, but on this case she’s actually not wrong in what she says to Serena, it’s just brutally honest.

I loved the stand off’s between Blair and Jenny, they’re epic. As of now, Jenny 1, Blair 0.

I really love Serena’s outfit this episode.

No Dan! You don’t get to dictate when and if someone tells you they love you back, Like sorry, but putting that pressure on someone is not okay at all. Storming out in anger, is just... wrong.

That scene of Blair just wandering the streets, reminiscing about Nate and Chuck is so sad, and it’s probs also the first time since Cotillion, that she allows herselft to think on the fact that she has feelings for Chuck too.

I like to mention that the Nate memory is a heartbreaking moment in their history, she’s crying. Her Chuck memory in the other hand is the moment that started it all, and exciting moment. The difference. Great choice of music by the way.

One of my favorite aspects of S1 were the heart to heart convos between Serena and Eric. He’s such a wise kid.

What’s with Chuck’s outfits this episode. I hate that sweater.

This scene is so hard to watch, Chuck’s words to Blair are horrible, so much that it’s hard to remember why he’s so mad and hurt, so one is like f*ck you Chuck, and the way Blair reacts, and how hurt she is by his words, makes it easy to forget that she had dismissed his feelings, treated him like her dirty little secret and called him a mistake.

Blari and her mom having a moment, always gets to me.

I love that scene between the girls of the steps and Jenny, you can really see her becoming a mean girl, and it gets even better when Penelope says “Blair trained you well”, cause this Jenny in many ways is indeed a Blair creation.

“I love you because you make no apologies for being exactly who you are” Sorry Dan but I don’t believe you when you say that.

This is one of my favorite Serena and Blair moments ever, No matter what they have each other, and have a lot of love between them, even if they forget about it from time to time.

So.. what an episode. People mostly remember it as the episode where the love triangle between Nate-Blair-Chuck explodes, but it’s also the episode that really puts Jenny in the road to Queen B, there’s also a lot about Blair and Serena’s friendship and it’s the episode where Dan and Serena say I love you to each other, quite the ride in plots. I’ll save my thougths on Jenny for the next episodes because if I remember correctly those focus a lot on her Blair and the road to queendom.

This is suposed to be a sweet episode for Dan and Serena, and for the most part it is, they’re there for each other, have cute dates, and Dan’s struggle to say I love you to Serana it’s almost endearing and then it comes to the moment Dan manages to sayI love you, and Serena doesn’t say it back. It’s obviously a distressing moment to say the words and not get them back, and I get it can be particularly difficult for Dan because he sees Serena as a girl that it’s so out of his league that really, why would she love him. And yet I hate his reaction. He storms out in anger, and tells her how is not okay for her to react that way. I guess I wouldn’t have much of an issue (i’m actually pretty sure I didn’t think much of it the first time I watched this) if I didn’t knew that he always reacts badly when Serena doesn’t act like he wants her to.

I loved the fact that the show, makes a point to establish why Serena has a difficult time with the words I love you, her little talk with Eric was so nice because like the last episode references the way Lily’s chaotic love life damaged her children. I do wish we spend a bit more time on this issues, because I feel having Serena said I love you to Dan right back after his “this is why i love you speech” (which by the way sound hollow given what I’ve already know) it was a tad to soon and it cheapens a bit her difficulties, like if they were easy to get over, and not something that she has to work through, I would have prefered if her I love you came some episodes later, not necesarilly after dramatic struggling that’s not Serena, but rather after her realizing she can trust Dan and seeing for herself he loves her (I know, i know).

Now, the pregnancy scare, the way this episode flows is really good, it keeps you on your seat and starting out with the little plot twist about the pregnancy not being for Serena and instead is for Blair really sets the tone. I love how from the very beginning it shows how Serena is there for Blair, how she takes the bullet for her by gettingh photographed buying the test, it also shows how really well she know Blair, the line a about Blair living in the movie in her head is so good, we learn more about Blair and how it falls on Serena to help her deal with reality. When the shit hits the fan, Blair lashes against Serena, and this is the kind of situation where I can see where Blair’s coming from particularly when Serena defends Dan and Jenny, because to Blair she’s putting them above her, and the fact that Serena trusted in them and defends that trust hurts, Serena doesn’t seem to understand at first why Blair sees this scandal as the end of the world, and when Blair’s points out that she doesn’t get it because things are different for Serena and she already ruined her reputation, Serena gets offended, and I get it, Blair was recalling a part of Serena’s life she had left behind, and she doesn’t need the reminder, so she leaves.

It does ironically proves Blair point, because at the start of the episode yes people talk about Serena, but when she says she’s not pregnant, everyone’s like ok whatever, the girls on the steps are like great let’s get drinks to celebrates, Blair on the other hand get’s dethroned for the same pregnancy scare and for sleeping with two guys... the consequences are not the same for the both of them, and Serena doesn’t understands it at first and reacts to Blair’s meltdown like Blair just being Blair, when she finally gets it she goes after her and convinces her to stay and not run away, giving us one of the nicest scenes of their friendship, their bond and their love for each other.

Another interesting bit about the episode is how we see Serena trying and tyring to help Blair one way or the other, she tries so hard that she makes questionable decisions that in the long run actually have undesirable consequences, however this only happens because Blair keeps being so obnoxious about it, and if she hadn’t been in complete denial Serena wouldn’t have talked about with Dan and Chuck, which ends up with the whole affair exposed. This is a pattern that repeats during the whole episode having Blair pushing and pushing people to the limits of their tolerance . We see Blair going over Jenny in full Queen B mode, whichs mades Jenny snap, tired about it and ends up with her telling Nate the whole truth. Same with Chuck, this episode she actually refers to him as a mistake she doesn’t even remember, and since she has been very dismissive of his feelings so far, so he snaps and sends the tip to gossip girl. So we have Blair suffering the consequences of her actions, and the fact that the show does this, it’s the reason that no matter how bitchy or mean she gets, she always ends up having to deal with the results of that, which helps her grow in the long run and us love her.

Finally, the love triangle. So Nate and Blair 2.0 end up being very short lived. Now I’m not a fan of Nate this episode, mostly his treatment of Blair. He was a shitty boyfriend, who cheated on her with her best friend, not only that but the way he reveals it to her and continues to pine after Serena long after it, not breaking up with her mainly to help his father, and they actually broke up because he didn’t love her, so he’s real a hypocrite when he says “Guess when we were talking about leaving the past behind we were talking about yours, not mine” and it’s not the same, you cheated she didn’t, and yet he drops her without a second thought, not considering how forgiving she was of him in the past. So in that sense, good riddance Nate.

On the other hand, Nate’s anger with Chuck is justified, because like I said about the Serna and Nate hook up in redgards to Blair, girlfriends come and go, but friends are forever and you expect loyalty of them, and sure Blair and Nate had already broke up, but it’s not like you expect your best friend to hook up with your ex the minute the relationship is over. So i get, I do find interesting that Nate seems more angry than hurt with Chuck, and I think he doesn’t feel as hurt because he doesn’t really love Blair, and so his anger comes from the fact that he believes Chuck sleeping with Blair was just Chuck being Chuck, and he can’t quite believe it when Chuck ends up pointing out that Nate ignored Blair and how instead he was actually there for her, and I feel this is part of the reason Chuck’s look so hurt at the end of their fight, because not only did Nate ends their friendship but he’s very dismissive and quite can’t believe that Chuck may have cared from Blair somewhat.

That’s the scenario Blair walks into when she goes to talk to Chuck. He’s really hurt, because he not only lost his best friend, the one person that he had always openly cared for, and he lost him because of the relationship he had with Blair, who had been nothing but dissmisive of him for quite some time now, who at best treated him as her dirtly little secret, even when he admitted to feel something and had nice details with her, like the necklace he gave her, he put himself out there as much as his emotinal stunned self could at that time and it was all for nothing, she saw him as nothing but a mistake.It’s not that I’m taking his side per se, but Season one it’s the one I do tend to think Blair had a bigger part in how things got to that point, in many ways she was mean to him just because, he was mostly reacting to her actions, the thing about Chuck though is that whenever Blair does something bad to him, he ends up retaliating 100 times worst.

I feel he does this to level the ground between and end ups going overboard because it’s the way he takes control back over the situation, particularly in the first two seasons, when hasn’t come to terms completely with what he feels for her, he doesn’t know how to handle it on a good day, even less so when he hurts because of her. So on this episode what he says to her is horrible, he basically slut shames her, the whole episode is a tale about that, and that’s just awful, honestly had Chuck not said that I would be totally on his corner on this one, as it is I can’t and I just sigh in frustration. He was hurt yes, but he ends up hurting Blair as badly if not more, for all her witty combacks and bitchiness she halts, not able to say anything back and she just looks so hurt, to the point that she ends up in her mother’s arm crying and wanting out, and sure it’s the combination of everything that want’s her to go away, but it’s Chuck’s words that put her over the edge because she wasn’t expecting that from him,before all of this they were partners in crime, friends in a weird way different from their friendship with Serena and Nate and also because she’s suprised it actually hurts her that much.

Here’s the thing, my own “theory” on this, when I did the recap for 1x07 I’ve mentioned this is the moment he realizes he’s in love with ther, he may not go as far as to called it that, but he know he feels something, being probably lowkey feeling it for quite sometime, and that to him is monumental. That’s Chuck’s moment. This episode to me is Blair’s moment. When I think of the moment she realizes she is in love with him is either this, or in that week before S2. But I’m way more inclined to believe it’s this one, when he breaks her heart. Especially because she breaks up again with Nate this same episode at a point when she believed the best of their relationship is yet to come, and she doesn’t seem as bad after talikng to him as she did after talking to Chuck. I also believe this because like I mentioned earlier in the scene when she thinks about both of them, she thinks of Nate in one of their saddest moment, when basically Nate says you either let go of the fact I cheated on you, or we end this, and when she thinks of Chuck she remembers their time in the limo, it’s an interesting contrast almost as if her subconcious was telling her, forget Nate that ended up a long time ago, what happened with Chuck however was amazing, do you really want to give it up? And it’s after that scene that she goes looking for him, only to find out, he doesn’t want her anymore. I also feels it paints a kind of interesting contradiction, Chuck realizes he loves her on such a incredibly happy moment, she realizes she loves him in a really sad moment, like oh shit! I’m in love with Chuck Bass, and it fits with the star of the story, he’s after all the one that goes after her first, and truth is, since that day he never really let’s her go.

Random bits I’ve noticed:

This was filmed in december, that scene where Serena is telling Dan that she’s not pregnant, behind them you can see a lot of poinsettias.

Blair’s wearing Jeans for a bit during this episode, that’s like sighting the yeti.

The song they used throught this episode but most notably in the scene where the blast about Blair reaches everyone is called “The Dark side of Indoor Track Meets” by Captiva, and the full song is weirdly interesting, like the last part of the song is really creepy.

I love the song they used when Blairs is thinking about Nate and Chuck. It’s called “The air we breathe” by the figurines.

After a long hiatus, the wait is finally over

Chapter 8-Crash

Meanwhile, Kate has been standing outside for a while, looking at her watch to see that an hour has passed and sat down, wondering where Stephen is and what’s taking him so long. She then texted him a few times, only for him to not respond. She then called him a fifth time, but like the previous calls, there was no answer. Each passing second left her impatient.

“Hi, this is Stephen Walker. I can’t get to the phone right now, please leave a message.”

“Steve, it’s me, Kate.” She paused. “Where the hell are you? I’m outside the campus center right now. You said that you’d be here at seven and it’s almost 8. I’m getting a little worried right now…..i-if something is going wrong, could you at least tell me right away? Please call me back.” She hung up as she continued to wait. Just then, she heard a couple of footsteps approaching her. Curious, she got up and turned around to see who it was.

“Stephen?” She smiled, only to frown when she sees JJ instead. “Oh, it’s just you, J.”

“Yeah its me, were you expecting someone?”

“Uh, yea, I guess you can say that.” She crossed her arms. “And to think that I was actually looking forward to eating tacos with him.”

“OOOhhhhhHH so a date stood you up then?”

“I-I seems like it.”

“Oh honey! Don't let him get you down. He probably wasn't even worth your time.”

She rubbed her eyes. “You’re right, the guy’s a complete jackass.”

She nodded. “If you want, I can join you for some tacos. Just a little girls night for us.”

“You know, that sounds really nice right now. I mean, i shouldn’t let this outfit go to waste.”

“Well, it’s a pretty nice outfit. Too bad, I’m a little…...underdressed.” JJ looked down to see herself in a demure blue shirt, black jeans and converse sneakers. “But whatever. We’re just gonna walk cause apparently there was some huge accident on the road not too far from here.”

“Wait, there’s was an accident?”

“Yeah, they say it’s really bad.”

As they walk farther down the road, they come in contact with the accident that’s been wildly talked about. They see a few people from their campus along with a few civilians standing next to and nearby the car. As the girls get closer to the scene, they slow their pace to see what was going on.

“What happened here?” Kate asked as many people surround the the area.

“There was an accident. One of the students in this campus is in critical condition right now.”

“Wait a student? Who?”

“We’re trying to find some ID on him.”

Both Kate and JJ then looked around to see if any of their friends are present. Fearing that something could’ve happened to them.

“Kate, do you see them?”

“No I don’t. Let’s hope it stays that way.”

Just then they hear someone from the crowd shout, “Does anyone here know a Stephen Walker?!” Kate turned around and raised her arm. “Wait! Wait! I know him!”

“You know him? Are you sure ma’am?”’

“Yes, he’s a friend of mine. What about him?”

“He’s been severely injured. He needs medical attention and soon. We’ve all called an ambulance but none has showed yet.”

“Wait what?! He’s-” She and JJ looked over to see Stephen, badly wounded and knocked out.

Just then, an ambulance and police cars showed up and immediately ran to tend to Stephen’s car.

“No.” Kate croaked, feeling her eyes watered as she caught sight of Stephen being strapped down onto a gurney and taken into the ambulance. “S-Stephen.” She cried.

“Kate, why are you crying? What happened? How do you know him?”

“H-He was supposed to pick me up at 7. W-we were supposed to go out for dinner.”

“Oh my god Kate….. I’m sorry. I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

As JJ comforts Kate, Blake pulls out her phone to dial Rossi’s number.

“Hello, David Rossi speaking.”

“Hey David, it’s Blake.”

“Oh hi Alex, did you find something to do with the case?”

“Umm well….. Not really.”

“What’s happened? Is everything okay? Where are my students??”

“Well um if i’m not mistaken, two are at the crime scene.”

“Crime scene!!? Blake whats going on?”

“There was a huge accident on the road near campus, i guess they got curious about it. Oh and uhhh by the way Rossi, does the name, Stephen Walker mean anything to you?”

“No, why? Is he a suspect?”

“No, he was the young man in the crash, they just put him in the ambulance and left. But i had this feeling that, something about this accident just isn’t right. You get my drift?”

“Yeah i do. I’ll be down there in a few minutes.” After she hung up, she turned around to see JJ and Kate walk up to her.

“Oh uh, hello.”

“Hello there Miss….?”

“Blake, I’m Professor Alex Blake. What can I do for you?”

“Uhm, we just couldn’t help but notice that you mentioned ‘David Rossi’ on the phone. Do you know him?” “Why yes, I’m a friend of his.”

“Is he on his way here?”

Blake nods. “Mm hmph. I’m sorry, but I didn’t get your names-”

“I’m Kate and this is my friend JJ.”

“Hi, nice to meet you.” She shook their hands as they continued to watch the wreckage.

“I’m sorry about your friend, Kate. I can only imagine how you must’ve felt when you found out.”

“Yeah, thanks for the support.” “You’re welcome.” Just then, they see a police officer approach them.

“Evening sir.” “Ma’am, we’ve search the entire wreckage.”

“And?”

“We’ve managed to retrieved the young man’s backpack.” The officer then hands Blake Stephen’s backpack.

“Oh uhh, my goodness, thank you sir.” As the officer walks away, Blake unzips the bag, scourging inside while JJ and Kate watch.

“Did you find anything?” JJ asked.

“Let’s see……….” Blake stops when she feels something wrinkled inside the bag, pulling it out to reveal a crumpled up piece of paper.

“It looks like a-” Just then, Blake turned around to see Barnes and Strauss approach the young professor and two girls.

“Oh, Linda, Erin. I didn’t see you there.”

“Evening Alex.” Barnes tilted her head to see her holding a red backpack. “I see that must be Mr. Walker’s bag.” “Uh yeah, as a matter of fact, it is.” “You mind if we take a look?”

Blake nods. “Uh, sure.” She picked up the bag, while at the same time, sneaking a piece of paper into Kate’s pocket. “Here you are.” She then hands the bag to Barnes and Strauss.

“Thanks.” Barnes smiled as she and Strauss walk away. Not long after, Blake decides to follow them, but not without turning back to JJ and Kate.

“If I were you two, I’d hurry and leave the scene immediately. Try to be careful.” As she points out Kate’s jacket pocket. The two girls nod and flee the area while Blake watched. Once they fled, the two stop for a moment as JJ wondered what Blake put in Kate’s pocket.

“Why would she point out your jacket pocket?” “I have no idea…….unless.” The two walk up by a corner consisting of some large trees, looking around to see that no one else is present nor if there were cameras around, as Kate reached into her pocket, pulling out a crumpled piece of paper and unwinding it.

“Just a piece of paper?” Kate complained, while JJ stared longingly at it. “I don’t think it’s just any piece of paper….look at it.” She points out the edge of the paper, being partially ripped. “Looks like it was ripped out from some fairly old book.”

“An old…...wait JJ, you don’t think that this paper happens to be a page from….”

“Rossi’s journal. Fuck. We gotta go back to campus and warn the team.” The two girls then rush back to the campus to warn their friends.

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

Kate and JJ rush back into the campus when they see the rest of their friends standing beside the entrance. The two girls ran up to hug them, being somewhat relieved that they’re okay.

“I assume you all found out what happened.” JJ said as she hugged Tara. “You don’t know how worried Kate and I were. When we found out that a student got into an accident, and judging from how things have been constantly happening to us, we thought one of you guys were hurt.”

“We all thought the same thing J.” Tara replies. “But we’re glad you’re both okay.”

JJ gave a crooked smile as she hugs Tara. “So am I…….but Kate…..” She pulls out from the hug as she turns to a distant Kate.

Elle was the first to walk up to her. “Kate….you okay?”

She wiped the tears from her eyes. “It’s Stephen.” She whimpered. “S-Stephen Walker.”

“I’m so sorry.” Elle reached out and pulled Kate into a hug, comforting her while Garcia pulls in, even offering her a tissue. Hotch rubbed his forehead in frustration.

“Why must this happen?” Emily asked. “First Gideon, then Kyle, now Stephen? When will all of this stop?”

“I don’t know, Prentiss, I don’t know.”

As Elle pulls out from the hug, she felt something crumple from inside Kate’s jacket. “What was that?” “Oh.” Kate paused as she took out the piece of paper. “I almost forgot.” She unwinds it, revealing the torn out page to the rest of the group

“There was a professor on the scene when we found out it was Stephen in the car. Said her name was Alex Blake. She told me and Kate to run to find you all on campus after she stuck a piece of paper in Kate’s pocket. She said find Rossi, and give it to him.”

“It looks like a page...” Said Hotch, as he analyzed the paper.

“Is that from some type of old book? The page look really old.”

“Wait a sec…...you don’t think it’s from his journal, is it?”

“What does the page say? Did you ever read it?”

“Uh no?” Kate unfolds the paper as she reads the writing out loud.

“I know he’s still out there. He hasn’t forgotten about the massacre of 90’ and never will. He’s fueled with hate, I know he is and I may or may not deserve it. Despite all, he’s still his son and he will never rest till he seeks justice, even if it means going after the people I loved. When he was arrested, I thought that was it…….but it turns out that I was wrong. I’ve lost Gideon, and I can only imagine who else he’ll come after. After his death, I received a letter, saying ‘There’s more to come’, and I know it was from him. Who else could he possibly go after? Blake or Erin? Or worse……..my students, the twelve teens that have been for me after Gideon’s death. My heart can’t handle it if anything happens to them, not again….”

“So?”

“What the hell is the massacre of 90’?”

“I-I don’t know.”

“Garcia, is there anything that pops up when you type massacre of 90’?”

“Uh, let’s see…….” Garcia sat down, pulling out her laptop as she searches online.

“Massacre of 9-Oh.”

“Garcia? You okay? What happened?”

“Uh guys, you might not like this.” She turned her laptop around as the group all looked at the article. “Campus mourns as 10 students were brutally murdered….my god.” Tara gasped.

As they scroll down, JJ leaned over as she took a look at the photo of the students. “Wait stop.” “What is it?”

“T-those students, their faces look familiar.”

“What like you’ve seen them before?”

“Yea……..oh my god!”

“What!?”

“At Rossi’s cabin, there was a photo……..those students, they were on that photo with Rossi.”

“OH YEAH! I remember that!”

“That explains why Rossi looked upset when we brought them up.”

“Rossi……...We need to find him.” Emily said.

“How…...and where?” Derek asked.

“Do we have the professor’s email or phone number?”

Everyone shook their heads.

“Sure, it’s *** *** ****.” They all turned to Reid.

“What? I memorized it on the syllabus….and his list of contacts when we were snooping around in his cabin.”

“Damn Reid, Is there anything you don’t remember?”

“Uh…………….nope.” He shrugged his shoulders.

“Anyway.” They all took out their phone, calling their professor while Elle and Tara text him a message. As they wait for a response, JJ noticed Ashley staring at the floor.

“Ashley, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just wondered why that page was found in Stephen’s car.”

“Well, based on what the note said, i think whoever this is maybe is sending a message to Rossi. Like maybe like this could be another 90’ massacre.”

“Yeah, but that page was ripped out, meaning that he could have had the journal.”

“So someone broke in after us, or it could still mean one of us have it.”

“Maybe that’s it, maybe that’s why it happened to Stephen.”

“.....cause he knew what was up.”

“Damn, we need Rossi here asap.”

“What’s going on?” Matt asked JJ and Ashley.

“I think the accident must’ve been a set up.” “What do you mean?”

“The page was found in his car, meaning that he had the journal. Earlier, he asked Kate if she knew where to find Rossi…...It all adds up.”

“It seems like it.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “He saw something he shouldn’t have and the unsub ensured to keep him silent.” “Oh my god, that explains it.” Kate thought.

“Not everything, it still doesn’t tell us who exactly would go through this length in endangering another student’s life.”

“Maybe if he wakes up in the hospital, we can interview?”

“I’m afraid that won’t happen.” The group all gasped and turned around to see Blake watching by.

“What? Why? Who are you?!”

“I’m Alex Blake. And as for Stephen, the doctor says that he’s currently comatose. It’ll be a while before he wakes up again.”

“Dammit.”

“But he’ll be alright Ms. Blake, will he?” Garcia asked.

“Hopefully he will, but right now, he’s in critical condition. He’s lost so much blood, multiple fractured ribs, there’s even some pieces of broken glass and shrapnel found on his legs.”

“Oh my goodness! That’s horrible. But, why are you here?”

“Because it seems that you all need someone you could rely on for help.”

“Says who? Who sent you?”

“Rossi, I happen to be a friend of your professor.”

“You know what’s going on?”

“Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.”

“Would you maybe want to give us some of your theories if you have some?”

“Wait.” Elle stopped JJ before she could answer. “Why should we even trust you? No offense.” “Really? You’re not gonna trust a reasonable professor like me?”

“If we do, how do we know that you’re not gonna turn us over to Barnes or Strauss?”

“Why would I try to turn you guys in? That would be foolish. I want to find out who’s doing this as much as you and Rossi.”

“Guys, this is a friend of Rossi’s. If we trust him we can trust her.” Marissa says. The group all gathered, whispered amongst themselves while Blake watched.

“Are you sure about this Marissa?” Derek asked. “I still think it’s weird that she’s willing to trust us.” Derek, she’s a friend of Rossi’s. If he can trust her, why can’t we?”

“She’s got a point.” Hotch adds. “I mean, there’s no way she’d want to turn her back against him.” He sighs. “Fine, do whatever the hell you want, I don’t care.”

“Derek, I don't know what the hell your problem is, but pull it together.”

“So, Miss Blake, do you know a place he would go besides his cabin? Or at least another way to communicate to him?”

She shook her head. “Not that I know of.”

“Dammit.”

“So we got nothing, is that it?”

“I wouldn’t say that…….” Blake nonchalantly responded. “We have a spare page found in Stephen’s car. And he ends up into an accident. You guys want to fill in the blanks?”

“A-are you saying that someone planned this?” JJ asked.

“It’s very possible. It could be another student in on this or some high in the ranks.”

“But why would someone do this to him? Stephen couldn’t possibly do anything that could make him a potential target.” “Well Callahan, it’s possible that he was near someone who was having a conversation and maybe thought he heard them and they decided to off him. Or this could be their way of saying they can get to any of us at any time. Because they could’ve easily kill Stephen but they decided to let him live.” Blake explains.

“If that’s the case, should we notify our significant others or other family members about this? Put them in protective custody?”

“I think it’s too soon for that.”

“Well how do we protect the one we love? If it’s true that he could get to us at anytime, then we should be doing all we can to protect ourselves and our family.”

“I get that, but you have to understand. It’s Rossi that he’s after.

“Okay fine, but we need to find Rossi quick, these people are escalating quickly.”

“Okay.” She then looked at her watch. “I think we had enough for one night. I suggest that you all get some rest.”

The gang all nodded, walking away before Blake stops them.

“And guys.” “Yes?” “It’s nice to know all of you. I hope we can meet again.”

The group all part ways, returning to their respective dorms as they ponder over Stephen’s accident and Blake.

“Well that was a hell of a night.” Emily muttered as she and Elle get ready for bed. “Poor Stephen, I hope he recovers.” “Hopefully he does. I especially feel bad for Kate, seeing how she was supposed to meet with him today.”

“Which gives me one question: Why is it that a lot of bad things keep happening here let alone us?”

Elle pulled out her blanket. “I don’t know, but I’m getting real tired of all this bullshit.”

“Me too.” The two lay lay down on their respective beds, both staring at the ceiling above them.

“I still don’t trust her.” Emily turned her head. “Who?” “Blake.”

“Why? She’s helping us big time. We need more people on our team.”

“I don’t know.” She stammered. “I just sense a weird vibe from her, that’s all.”

“Oh Elle, I’m sure we can trust her. After all, she is a friend of Rossi’s.” “I know, but what else could she help us with?”

“Well she’s helping. That’s all that matters right now. Just hope that Rossi gets back soon. We’ll need him.”

“God, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I miss him, I really do.”

“Me too.”

Hassan Nasrallah: Israel has come into direct confrontation with Iran

Speech by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on April 13, 2018 in Beirut, in preparation for the May 6 legislative elections in Lebanon.

Translation: unz.com/sayedhasan

Transcript:

[…] Today, the whole region goes through a worrying situation. Worry is one thing, and fear is another. We say a worrying situation. Why? Because many leaders, governments, analysts, personalities and people in general, even people at home, everyday people who perhaps do not care much about politics, today follow the situation (with alarm), wondering where things are going, what will happen, because of certain events that occurred in Syria.

Last week, two important events took place, after which the situation remains tense.

The first event is the Israeli blatant and manifest aggression against the T-4 base or airport on the outskirts of Homs, that targeted Iranian forces from the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution of Iran who were present there, hitting them with a large number of missiles, causing 7 martyrs among its officers and soldiers and wounding others. This was a new, significant and important event. Maybe some people do not pay attention to its importance and magnitude.

In this operation, Israel has deliberately killed (Iranian soldiers). This is an unprecedented event. In the past, Israel has struck us [Hezbollah] for example in Quneitra, and it turned out that coincidentally Guardians [of the Islamic Revolution] officers were with us. Israel declared hastily that they did not know it, and thought that all (targeted soldiers) were Hezbollah’s. This is an event that has no precedent since 7 years, it is unprecedented since 7 years, that Israel openly targets the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution in Syria, killing deliberately, in an operation that caused a number of martyrs and wounded.

Of course, it is the Iranian officials who will decide what they will do (in retaliation) and they will announce what they will do. And I am not now in the position of someone who wants to speak for them or on their behalf. But Hezbollah is present in the region and concerned with what happens here, so I want to declare this to Israel: (I want to tell them that) I want you to know that through these blatant strikes…

Unfortunately, see the extent of their madness: the Israeli Minister of War Liberman declared he did not know who hit the T-4. While Lebanon knows, the United States announced that Israel carried out the strike, as well as Russia, and the (Israeli) Minister of War (claims he) does not know who carried out the strikes.

I want to tell the Israelis that they must know – I wrote that statement accurately and I read it to them – they must know that they have committed a historic mistake. This is not a simple blunder. They committed an act of great stupidity, and by this aggression, they entered in a direct confrontation with Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran. And Iran, O Zionists, is not a small country, it is not a weak country, and it is not a cowardly country. And you know it very well.

As a comment on this incident, I stress that it constitutes a turning point in the situation of the region. What follows will be very different from what preceded it. This is an incident that cannot be considered lightly, contrary to what happens with many incidents here. It is a turning point, a historic turning point. And when the Israelis committed this stupid act, they had some assessment (of the situation), but I tell them that their evaluation is false. And even in the future, since you have opened a new path in the confrontation, (you should ensure) not to be wrong in your evaluations. In this new path you opened and initiated, don’t be wrong in your assessment,when you are face to face, and directly (in conflict) with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Final point. That is all for my statement. [Audience: At Thy service, O Nasrallah!]

Thank you, brothers. We must naturally register here a testimony to Iran’s credit, a (testimony) they wrote with blood, and this testimony is: Israel says it cannot bear the presence of Iran in Syria because Iran grips a rope around its neck, and represents a strategic and existential threat to Israel, etc., etc. A small number…

Because of course there is not a large number of Iranians in Syria. A limited number of Iranians in Syria are considered (as an existential threat) by Israel. But as for the tens of thousands (of combatants of) armed organizations in Quneitra, Deraa, and on the border with the occupied Syrian Golan, tens of thousands (of fighters) of the Al-Nusra Front, ISIS, of other pseudonyms of Islamist organizations, which have a large number and a wide variety of weapons, missiles, Katyushas, anti-tank weapons and sensitive weapons, all those do not concern Israel, they do not even think about them. They do not constitute a strategic threat. Israel does not consider them a danger and does not even think about them, and rather works with them and supports them, heals their wounded, provides them with information, helps them in the fight (with air strikes) …

Well, what about this? Those people that you designate (pompously and falsely) as “the Syrian Revolution”, etc., etc., etc., Israel sees them as allies, friends. And this despite the fact that they are tens of thousands, while a small number of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in Syria, with modest means, are considered a strategic threat.

This is a proof (in favor) of the Iranians, and attests to the truth of their enmity, and reveals clearly who is the friend (of Israel) and who is his enemy, who is defending the Palestinian cause and fights against this Zionist entity and project, and who is the ally that works both openly and behind the scenes with this Zionist entity and project.

fore the inception of Los Crudos in 1991, U.S. punk and hardcore already had a handful of Latinx figures involved in the genre’s biggest bands. Artists in The Bags, Black Flag, Descendents, Adolescents, Suicidal Tendencies, Agnostic Front, and so many others made their mark on the scene, yet they rarely confronted their unique life experience in the U.S., instead focusing on general themes of alienation and social unrest. Los Crudos, on the other hand, composed lyrics explicitly about their experience as people of color and immigrants.

Los Crudos played a radical take on hardcore punk – one of austere musicality, maximum speed, and overdriven guitar tones. Vocalist Martin Sorrondeguy spewed concerns of an immigrant in the United States almost exclusively in Spanish (in the spirit of true rebellion, their sole English track was titled “That’s Right We’re That Spic Band“). Their impact shook punk far and wide, and not only for those who spoke Spanish – they influenced non-white and non-binary folks across the scene. The band toured relentlessly throughout the decade, creating connections with groups like Spitboy and even touring south of the border. When Los Crudos hit Mexico, mobs showed up and bum rushed the venues to get inside.

After Los Crudos broke up, Martin formed Limp Wrist, an equally radical band both musically and thematically. Limp Wrist embraced Sorrondeguy and the other members’ queerness to challenge heteronormativity in the punk scene. Again, LGBTQ punks were no strangers to the scene at the time, with political bands like The Dicks, Big Boys, and MDC singing about queerness in the 80s. The movement formalized under the term “queercore,” with bands like Fifth Column, Pansy Division, and Team Dresch. Limp Wrist made their music harder and faster without sacrificing any part of their identities.

Ever the punk lifer, Martin Crudo (as he’s known to fans far and wide) has also been documenting punk through his photography, which he has exhibited internationally. He published a collection called Get Shot! in 2012, and has been invited to talk about the intersection of punk, Latinidad, and LGBTQ identity at various universities.

On September 30, Sorrondeguy hosted the launch of Desafinados, a 9-day event that celebrates all things Crudos as well as the Latinx punk scenes in the Chicago neighborhoods of Pilsen and Little Village. Along with performances, Desafinados will feature talks, lectures, readings, and art exhibits from Latinx punk icons like Alice Bag, Michelle Gonzales, David Zamora Casas, Dorian Wood, Gerardo Villarreal, Cristy C. Road, and many others. We sat down with Sorrondeguy to get his perspective on the event and reflect on the 25th anniversary of Los Crudos.

Organizing a retrospective required Martin to revisit his past, and Los Crudos’ reunion has certainly made the identity of the band clear. The crew decided to reunite in 2013, after learning that a friend – who is a trans woman and played in peer bands in the 90s – had been diagnosed with cancer. “On the spot, I called all the members of Los Crudos and everybody said, ‘Yes, let’s do it.’ It felt right under the condition that it had to be done Crudos-style. It had to be done in a way that felt authentic and comfortable.”

“That’s the true spirit of punk, to challenge within it. We need the rule breakers.”

Martin is not one to dwell on the past, and though reuniting a group he first started when he was young might come off as pure nostalgia, he says it made as much sense in 2016 as it did in the early 90s. “The thing about the lyrics that we wrote 25 years ago is that they are completely relevant today,” he explains. “For me it’s not hard to scream these lyrics and still feel very strongly about them. It’s all still happening. The U.S. is very anti-Latinx and the world is very anti-immigrant, and that also includes us.”

Because those lyrics remain relevant, Sorrodneguy continues to be vocal about underscoring Latinxs’ pivotal role in punk history. He’s brought his expertise on the scene to academic settings, but is reluctant to fully support roundtables on the genre at universities – for justifiable reasons. “I still go to basement shows and I’m still pissed off [laughs]. I never left that. I don’t do many lectures in universities. I see that they invite a lot of scholars who study punk but often they don’t invite punks [laughs]…If I get invited, I’m glad and honored and I do my best to give a true sort of representation of what punk is. I also don’t have a problem with challenging these ‘punk scholars’ because I think sometimes they’re wrong and need to be challenged before it gets written down in their books,” he avers.

Identity is crucial to the style of punk Martin has been playing since he first started his career. “Sometimes people get into punk because they like fast, aggressive music,” he says. But for Latinx punks, the genre encompasses more than teen rebellion. “For Latinxs in punk, living in the U.S. is different than angry suburban white youth…In the lyrics, you find [that] some of those songs are against Mom and Dad, and it’s like ‘I don’t have problems with my mom and dad.’ [laughs] We were living in different realities. We weren’t living in the suburbs and then came to the city. We grew up in the city in gang-infested neighborhoods, [with] corruption and all this stuff. We came from aggressive and violent areas and upbringings as young Latinxs,” he describes.

So Sorrondeguy set out to address that reality with Los Crudos, writing songs about his experience as a child of Uruguayan immigrants. “There was a dictatorship and most American punks would go ‘What? What are you talking about?’ It was one thing to write a song about El Salvador from a U.S. perspective – and that was cool, I think there were some great bands who did good stuff – but when you have people coming from certain places and have dealt with these ugly realities and they go writing songs, then it’s a little different. It got to a point where we needed to write our own songs about these things that were important to us.”

“I like punk too and I like to suck dick and I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like it.”

Ever since Los Crudos first started, there has been a huge movement of Latinx punk and hardcore in the U.S., as well as bigger exposure and scene unity between bands from Mexico, Central and South America, and Spain. As a sort of godfather to so many things happening right now, from Downtown Boys to Latino Punk Fest in New York, I ask him what he thinks of the proliferation of Latinx punk. “I think it’s cool. When you talk about Latinxs in punk, there are so many, and not all of them sing about identity. I think that’s what’s differentiating when you say ‘Latinx punk’ instead of just regular punk, because it’s sort of a statement. You’re putting a stamp on yourself which is good, but you have to be careful because some kids might go, ‘This is just for us.’ And I’ve never been into that mentality. I’ve always been into making connections with people who weren’t from where we’re from. Los Crudos spread out to so many communities and different people because we weren’t about isolating ourselves.”

“I fear the formula, you know?” Sorrondeguy continues. “Like, ‘Oh, I’m a Latinx in a band so I need to speak about politics and identity,’ and I don’t think you have to. If that’s not you, don’t do it.” Sorrondeguy favors authenticity and artistry over performative politics. “I want to see some totally freaky queer person doing something that has nothing to do with queerness as political…I’m curious about what people bring to punk or take or give to punk. I get bored easily when bands do the same thing over and over and over. I think kids are afraid to take risks, to look different from their peers and their scenes. When they step outside of their peers and scenes, te critican, but si te están criticando, maybe you’re doing something fucking cool, you know? [laughs] I said to people in the past who have interviewed me that I don’t believe all bands should tell me all their politics, after which they tell me, ‘But that’s what you do!’ Yeah, that’s what I do and what I have done, I don’t expect everybody to follow in my footsteps.”

Queerness has been a big part of Martin’s music, most notably in his work with Limp Wrist. Since LGBTQ communities have gained more visibility in both the underground and the mainstream, we wondered how Sorrondeguy saw things develop in the punk scene. “Over the years, there has been a much larger presence of queer punk and people coming out or being more visible. I’ve seen that there’s a lot more trans kids that are part of the scene and I think that’s amazing. You wouldn’t see that sort of thing in a hardcore punk setting 15 or 20 years ago. People were so afraid because punk and hardcore had a very macho exterior, and to a certain degree I get it, because you have to fight a lot, to be always ready to battle. Because you were a weirdo y la gente te veía raro and they would fuck with you. You’re fighting to create your own space within punk, to say, ‘I like punk too and I like to suck dick – that’s who I am – and I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like it.’ That’s the true spirit of punk, to challenge within it, especially once it became more codified and [adopted] more rules. We need the rule breakers.”

Martin sees the future of punk in empathy and positivity, as tools to counterbalance oppressive forces facing POC communities. “I fear that this younger generation will have this sentiment of defeat. One of the things I talked about [at a recent festival] was, ‘No matter what they do if they gentrify us out of our neighborhoods, or that this clown Trump is saying these horrible things about your community, your families, your people and who you are – no matter what, we will always survive; we’re not going anywhere.'”

Sorrondeguy is quick to emphasize that political progress comes from experimentation, rather than division and aggression. “[Right now] in politics, if you don’t think exactly like other people think and you don’t say exactly what they want you to say, they just insult you and call you a sellout. It’s almost like there’s a wave of fascism within the left. ‘Oh my god, you don’t think like me! You’re an asshole!’ That’s a really fucked up mentality to have. It’s bizarre; there’s no room for subtleties or mistakes or room for people to experiment, explore, and learn.”

The Desafinados festival is a culmination of Los Crudos and their peers’ longtime efforts to uplift Latinxs in punk history. “[The exhibition] is a history of how punk started happening in our neighborhood. It starts with the first show that occurred in 1987 and then the beginning of Los Crudos and all the other bands that came afterwards. We also invited artists from our neighborhood who were always supportive of our bands and used to come see us…it’s kinda of like a community.” Twenty-five years after Los Crudos’ inception, the project keeps the flame alive in this trying political climate, and celebrates the band’s continuing legacy.
