Whenever I see adaptations of novels, comics, and games that elevate the source material, I get deeply and monstrously bitter. Wheel of Time, Foundation, Percy Jackson, The Boys, Outlander, Big Little Lies, Pachinko, Sharp Objects, WATCHMEN!!! All are so good, so beautifully written and moving that when you stack shit like Game of Thrones beside them, it falls flat on its face.
I still think about Jon telling Angela that he is in every moment they spent together all at once. Every time I think about Watchmen S01E9, my throat gets tight and my mouth wobbles. A triumph of storytelling. When you compare this with the disappointment that is Game of Thrones, it becomes clear that being mediocre, white, and a man often leads to success even when you fail.
I get angry because it’s possible to take novels/comics with so many moving parts and rich history, update them for our time and make the rich source material even richer. Those men just didn’t know how. 
And before anyone says the first three seasons are good. Are they? Are they really? Or are we just blinded by the perceived faithfulness to GRRM’s work when we weigh it against the utter shit show that was the last season? The show lifts all the best parts wholesale from the books and magnifies all the worst parts. 
They portrayed the Dothraki with a lack of care compared to the Free Folk. They furthered the lack of non-white perspectives by erasing what little we had. Presenting freedom as if it is worse than chattel slavery. The extinction of the Dothraki in service of white Northerners who were less than welcoming. 
The show does not name more than half of Daenerys' more prominent Dothraki characters on screen. Killing Irri, Jhiqui and Doreah to further isolate Daenerys. Transferring all the better traits from women to the men in their lives. Turning Jorah from an old paedophilic creep into whatever the fuck that was on the show. Alluding to the “first they came” poem for rapists, slavers and other monsters. Peddling the gentle slave-owner myth as if owning a person is not inherently violent. 
Having Missandei be beheaded in chains to fuel madness for literally no reason. Cersei could’ve bargained for her life or at least some concession from Daenerys with Missandei’s life, but they have her behead Missandei for no other reason than to piss off a woman with a large army and an even larger dragon. It made little sense then, and it makes even less sense now. 
I know it’s a bit much to still be so affected by that dumpster fire almost a decade in, but I saw that interview with those idiots yesterday, and I have been furious ever since.

Moments of Stupidity 9
So yeah, I decided that, rather than restarting the numbers or something for each season, I'll just add all of them up. So, for example, the first episode of season 2 makes post number 9 for Moments of Stupidity. Anyways, let's get started on this one because this episode adds more to pre-existing instances of sheer dumb. And I mean in the plot or overall narrative because the writing decisions do indeed get dumber
The Circus -
First up is Paimon, in his delivery over giving Stolas the news of his arranged marriage. Seriously, why show that picture of Stella? Was it really the best picture they could get? And why the hell did Paimon think throwing 'bitch' in 'stop crying' was any better since he was saying that to a distraught child? Really, this instance might be more forgivable if it's ever been established that Paimon actually doesn't spend a lot of time with his kids or just kids in general. Then again, it would bring into question he bothers with having children, particularly so many that he can't keep track of their names
Next up is the decision for kid Stolas to be accompanied with just the butler. Seriously, even if Stolas has never made a debut or anything, he very fucking clearly isn't part of the common masses. What the fuck was the security plan for that outing? If anything, they were just lucky no one tried any mugging or kidnapping shit
Okay, so, Stolas... when he's a kid... while children as a whole aren't actually stupid - stupidity is more of an individualistic thing than anything - but children as a whole are vulnerable to doing stupid things or not catching onto things that an older person could and would. But here, Stolas never picks up on the fact that the things in his house are being stolen. Even if Stolas is abnormally lonely and doesn't know how things works when it comes to socializing, you'd think he'd eventually notice that his shit was being stolen. Especially when kid Blitzo made it a thing to steal everything
Buckzo was rather dumb, too, because he had his son steal shit from the Geotias. Unless they're a traveling circus, it would be dangerous for him to stay in one spot for Paimon to go back to so that he could get revenge for all the expensive shit being stolen. Especially since Paimon at least has seen Buckzo's face and should recognize him. It wouldn't be hard to put two and two together that everything was stolen after the playdate that Buckzo made his son go to. Not that we ever find out if Paimon found out but, regardless, Buckzo is just lucky that he likely never got caught (although I'm sure he was planning on throwing Blitzo under the bus if the need came up). Paimon also probably was racist enough against imps to think they all look the same so Buckzo got lucky there, too, if that's the case
Then Stella. As much as people are saying that Stella was made into an idiot in Western Energy, this episode is where I think she starts getting stupid. Western Energy just merely emphasized it. A vast majority of people have pointed it out arleady but her motivations don't make any damn sense. As a result, it's stupid for her to be pissed over Stolas having the affair if she's truly never loved him. In fact, the woman had all her dialogue be all about how she hates being bother getting made over the affair and Stella bother getting made over the affair and be against the divorce when Stolas brought it up. Like, you should be fucking happy over getting the divorce, not idiotically against it. Actually, you should have tried getting a divorce for yourself! There was no explanation as to why Stella never tried divorcing Stolas, either, like if the Geotia was old fashioned and so denied women the power to divorce. Why the fuck not? They're already so old-fashioned to do arranged marriages so denying Stella the right to divorce because of her gender wouldn't be too out of left field
Oh, and speaking of that, now that we're back to adult Stolas, he gets several moments of stupid. Three in the flashback and two outside it. First, Stolas is a moron for getting fucking ahead of himself when seeing Blitzo again. Viv may have said - for whatever that information is worth - that Stolas can't tell apart fiction from reality but who the fuck just goes straight to 'someone I had one playdate with over 20 years ago and never had any contact with whatsoever has come back to ravish me!'? Seriously, who makes that leap of logic!? Then that damn owl instantly shrinks back when Blitzo starts flirting with him. Seriously, Stolas, you were the one who started this flirtatious shit so why the fuck are you getting cold feet at the fantasy seemingly actually happening?
Second, the gloating of a good memory. Even though Stolas has said that he doesn't know Blitzo's name but then asked if there was an 'o' in his name. Like fuck, if your memory is shit, then don't gloat about it. It'll be noticeable!
Third, after Blitzo and Stolas had sex and Stella found out, Stolas rubs it in Stella's face. Right in front of some friends that she had over for mealtime. Sure, those friends could have just been friends in the loosest definition but still some people Stella felt comfortable enough to invite to eat over in her home. What's more, they could spread rumors. There's no reason why they wouldn't and nothing should be stopping them. So Stolas was even stupider at Ozzie's for caring that he's caught being out with Blitzo when he happily, gleefully gloated that he had an affair in front of others. It may not be the same size of a crowd compared to Ozzie's but it doesn't take away any of this stupidity
Out of the flashback, for Stolas's second to last stupid moment, it was going on in his song that Blitzo led him on and he was the fool for believing the advances. No. Blitzo was a selfish douche but he was still aware of what he was doing. Here, Stolas has apparently been blind and oblivious to how he's at fault, too. He's legit acting like he never forced Blitzo to make that deal in Murder Family. Like he never constantly acted with lustful desire and only lustful desire towards Blitzo. Like he wasn't holding the Grimoire over Blitzo's head to keep up the transactional fucking. And if Stolas genuinely believes that he never did anything to be at fault, then he's being stupid, not just selfishly selective in what to admit. And given how Stolas probably can't tell apart fiction from reality, it does make it possible for Stolas to be stupid that way
For Stolas's very last stupid moment, Stella approached Stolas, berated him, Stolas declares that the divorce is gonna happen, and Stella threatens him with 'what will the rest of the family think' as well as bringing up her brother's name. Now the stupid moment is also something I don't understand, especially when I watched a video of HezuNeutral bringing it up, is why Stolas says that he doesn't care what Andreaphlus thinks. What I mean by that is, Stolas has a purpose to the family beyond providing a heir while Stella is just an incubator and that it's usually women who get in trouble concerning political marriages, which are the points HezuNeutral brought up. Maybe Stella knew this and is trying to rely on Stolas being too stupid to realize that by bringing up that he'll be the one in trouble and not her, although that'd be giving too much credit to the writing. Stella's intimidation tactic doesn't work but Stolas reacts like he really believes it. At the very least, he doesn't deny that he would get in trouble for having a divorce. It's like, are you really blind how much more important to your family you are compared to Stella? How could you not know?
Finally, there's Blitzo in the flashback, as an adult, and he gets three moments himself. 1) getting the idea of stealing the fucking Grimoire from Stolas. Like the first episode showed, it's a valuable and powerful artifact - despite how we almost never see it used for anything. The only exception is Harvest Moon Festival - that will be missed if it's stolen. Yet Blitzo still tried stealing it anyway. Then there's how he tried stealing it. He went ahead and seduced Stolas, complete with biting his neck, and fully planned to just leave Stolas tied to the bedposts while taking the book. You seriously never expected an angry Geotia going after you if you left him like that? What's more, Stolas saw your face. He knows your name. It would be so damn easy for Stolas to find you
2) at the beginning when Blitzo was trying to break into the palace, he actually tried to get Stolas's attention from the window upon seeing him. How in the fuck were you going to explain to someone in the palace, who highly likely is demonic royalty, that you were outside the fucking window and on no doubt private property of demonic royalty? What explanation did you think you had that wouldn't get you in trouble?
3) Blitzo actually tried killing Stolas via neck twist. Maybe Blitzo somehow doesn't know about owls but why the fuck would he feel comfortable just trying to kill off just anyone who's distinctly not an imp or a hellhound? Wouldn't be important to note that maybe he's different from the common masses just by looking at him? If Blitzo doesn't know he's a prince, then why the fuck did he not research this much? Because you shouldn't just be able to kill off royalty and expect to move on with your life. People would notice! Maybe it wouldn't be as big of a deal since Octavia was born as insurance for the family line but someone will still fucking notice. There's gotta still be a reaction, too. Just something!
And now that I think about it, this mistake of Blitzo either stealing the Grimoire or attempting to kill Stolas has put Loona in danger. Seriously, if Blitzo really got in trouble with high-ranking demons, they could have easily wanted to go after his daughter while they were busy with him, should they find out. Even without that, Loona would have been left on her. Yeah, she's an adult woman, but having to take care of yourself after having spent at least some years with at least one person doing it for you, that's bound to be a tough thing for anyone to go through no matter how old they are. And Blitzo would make that happen to Loona should anything happen to him during this really fucking stupid quest in getting the Grimoire. Fuck seriously, even if he doesn't give a fuck about himself as long s plans through, or give a fuck about thinking his plans through, why couldn't he thought about how the consequences of his actions could and would affect Loona?
(Okay, so if Blitzo does wrong by his daughter, it's either because he's stupid and reckless or overprotective. Well, at least it's better than when Stolas does wrong by Octavia because he prioritizes his own shit first and foremost)

Alive Again (part 2) - Four/Billy x Reader
Tumblr media
READ PART 1 HERE
WARNINGS: ...cant say too much
A/N: I'm sorry this is kinda rushed but it's been in my drafts since forever and I really wanted to finish it and finally give content to those of you who started following me for Ben <3 (also pls forgive me)
---
''So, what's going on between Four and Eight?'' Three asked, nudging Two's arm with a smirk on his face.''Are they...you know...''
''For fucks sakes Three.'' Two whisper-yelled, her eyes widening. ''You dumb fuck! Stay behind me and for the love of God, shut up.'' she spat. ''Sorry guys. He's on laughing gas. He's dumber than usual.''
You couldn't help but blush at Three's comment. Things hadn't been the same between you and Four since you broke down in front of him. You two weren't fighting anymore, that was a good thing, but you'd also started avoiding him as much as you could. You couldn't help but feel ashamed of your reaction. You had joined the Underground because you were one of the best snipers in the country, what if Four thought you were too weak or too sensitive to be working on such missions?
You sometimes shared eye contact and occasional small talk but there was nothing more, and that was honestly fine with you. You had broken the rules by sharing your names and other informations about your past life which was already way too much.
One had made you promise to always use your code name and always stay anonymous no matter what happened, and you broke that promise because of one small tantrum. You couldn't risk getting yourself, or Four, kicked out of the team so you just decided to distance yourself from him. If that ever happened, you'd be completely alone as you were already dead for your family and friends. The Underground was everything you had left, and as much as One hated that word, you weren't going to lose your second family.
''Guys, this is Eight's last mission. Let's not make it a disaster, shall we ?'' Seven answered and you nodded to yourself, bringing your attention back to your target.
--
//FLASHBACK//
''I can't do this anymore, One.''
''What do you mean you can't do this anymore ? Come on Eight. You're our best sniper, there's no way I'm letting you give up.''
''But you've got Seven, he's- he's so much better than I am.''
''That, is absolutely not true.'' One answered before turning to Seven. ''No offense though.'' Seven scoffed before turning to you, raising his beer. ''Thank you, Eight. You're a real one.''
''But seriously, guys. I can be so much more useful with computers. I've done this my whole life.''
''That's a no, Eight. We've lost our driver already, we're not losing our best sniper.''
''Jesus, I'm not asking for you to kill me! You're not- losing me or whatever. I just want to be helpful in another way! You were doing well without me, and Seven saved all of your asses more than once.''
''Eight we've talked about-''
''Give her a chance, man.'' Four interrupted, catching everyone's attention. ''We've got nothing to lose. Seven is good, and we could actually need some hacking skills for our next missions.''
''Since when are you two standing for each other ?'' One asked with a stern look and a finger pointing simultaneously between you and Four. You rolled your eyes but choose to ignore his comment before speaking up again.
''Look...just think about it, okay ?'' you took one last sip to your beer and stood up. ''I won't disappoint.''
--
Turns out your last mission as a sniper was in fact, a disaster. You had been shot, and Two almost got killed. One was a nervous wreck and yelled most of the time, still not really accepting the fact that this was your last real mission with them. ''See Eight?! This is why I don't want you to quit your damn job!'' He'd shout everytime something went wrong.
You hissed as Five helped you lay down on your bed while applying pressure on your wound, trying to stop the blood from spilling out.
“Alright, I can see the bullet...'' Five muttered to herself and you squeezed your eyes shut, trying not to scream in pain. ''I have to pull it out right now Eight.''
''Jesus- fuck.''
''I know, I know. I need you to stay awake, okay? Stay with me Eight. '' Five answered, slapping your cheeks slightly to keep you awake. Before you could react, Four burst inside your trailer and stopped in his tracks when he saw your weak body laying on your bed.
''I-is she okay ?'' he blurted out, trying not to sound too concerned but failing miserably.
''She should be fine but she's in shock. I need you to keep her awake, Four. Talk to her.'' She spoke and Four nodded. He came closer to your bed and kneeled next to you before grabbing your hand and squeezing it tightly.
''Hey, look at me Y/N'' Four whispered and your heart skipped a beat at the mention of your name.You slowly tilted your head towards him and bit your bottom lip in anticipation, a single tear sliding down your cheek. You could tell Five was looking at you, probably surprised about Four knowing your name.
''It hurts.'' you blurted out, your voice barely above a whisper.
''I know love. But you're gonna be fine. Okay ? You're alright.'' His hand moved to your cheek, stroking it softly and wiping your tears with his thumb. You winced and groaned out in pain as you felt the wound being opened.
''Stay still.'' Five exclaimed before taking out her medical tools and working on the wound. ''It's gonna be okay, Eight. I have a pretty clear view on the bullet, it's not as deep as I thought. I should be able to remove it quickly.'' Five tried to reassure you and you nodded, fighting hard to keep your lids open. Your hand was clenching Four's so tightly that you were scared of hurting him. You shot Five a concerned look when you noticed how shaky her hands were, but you were too exhausted to say anything. When Five finally managed to pull the bullet out after a good two minutes which felt like an eternity, she showed you the bullet with a winning smile and you grimaced at the sight of it, still managing to chuckle slightly at her reaction.
''Alright young lady. Let's get you all patched up.'' Five grabbed some more alcool to clean the wound and did everything that had to be done so that it wouldn't get infected before wrapping your waist with a bandage to keep everything in place.
''I'll be back to change your bandage every two hours. For now, get some rest and don't you dare sit up. If you need anything...Just yell.'' she shrugged and you smiled.
''Thanks Five.'' She nodded, wiping her hands in a handkerchief. She headed towards the door and winked at you before leaving you alone with Four, carefully closing the door behind her.
A comfortable silence settled over your trailer. Four was the first to break the silence.
''Why are you so distant with me ? I thought we sorted everything out'' his voice was soft and soothing and his hand was now stroking your hair.  
''We broke the rules, Four. This could get us in so much trouble. I didn't want to risk anything.'' you admitted, staring up at the ceiling.
''Fuck the rules, Y/N. There shouldn't even be any.'' Four spoke as his hands kept caressing your scalp. You tilted your head to look at him and gave him a small smile, feeling your lids getting heavier with every passing second.
--
//TIME SKIP – 4 WEEKS//
''So...how's this new job treating you?'' Four walked up behind you, his arms wrapping around your shoulders as he planted a kiss on your temple. You were working on your computer, hacking some codes for the team's next mission.
''Better than the last one. It's actually quite nice not being shot every two weeks.'' You chuckled and took your eyes off the screen, focusing your attention on Four. You stood up and wrapped your arms around his shoulders, inhaling his scent. Eventually you finally pulled away from the hug and Billy's hand came to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear in a tender gesture.
''I miss you. I have no one to argue with and pretend to hate.'' he smiled and stroked your cheeks while your hands rested lightly on his hip
''Pretend to hate ?'' you furrowed your eyebrows and tilted your head to the side as a small smile adored your features. ''You didn't actually hate me ?''
''Did you ?''
''I hated you for hating me.''
''Well I never hated you.'' You both chuckled and you stood on your tippy toes to plant a kiss on Billy's lips. ''I'm sorry... I've been such a bitch to you, and everyone else.''
''Especially me.'' Four retorted and you laughed.
''Shut up !'' Four shook his head and pulled you into a warm embrace. When he pulled away, he kissed a scar on your forehead before you laid your head back on his shoulder.
''I do miss everyone's company. Except One's. He's an ass.'' Four chuckled.
''You know he actually cares about you, right ?''
''Doubt it.''
''I swear ! He was shit scared the night you got shot.''
''Really?''
''I swear.'' Four answered and you laughed, pulling away from the hug, your hands resting on his hips.''How's your wound, by the way?'' he asked, motioning to your waist.
''It's looking good.'' you shrugged.
''Does Five still makes sure it's healing properly?'' he asked and you chuckled, tilting your head to the side as a wide grin spread across your lips.
''Yes Billy, she does. I'm fine, I promise.'' you answered as you cupped his cheeks and pecked his lips. A small giggle escaped your lips as he pulled you closer and pressed his lips back against yours in a soft enduring kiss. You jumped a little when his cold fingers brushed over your skin and you sighed softly when he detached his lips from yours and started leaving soft kisses along your neck. Your hands slowly slipped to the back of his neck, stroking it gently as your eyes fluttered shut. After a moment, Billy eventually pulled away and placed a final kiss on your lips.
''I gotta go. They're probably waiting for me.'' he said, moving a strand of hair behind your ear. ''I love you, Y/N.''
''I love you too. Be careful, okay?''
With that, Billy left your trailer to go on yet another mission with the team. But little did you know that was the last time you'd ever see him walk through that door.

By the Angel, TALK
Warning: THIS IS AN ANTI-CLARY AND JACE SPOILER RANT because I need an avenue to let out some of the steam I've been holding off since starting City of Fallen Angels. So PLEASE SKIP AHEAD because I don't want to burden you all with my reading woes.
This thing centers on the beginning of Chapter 9: From Fire Unto Fire and a little bit of Chapter 8. About eight pages of bad, bad romance set me off.
To start,
Tumblr media
The rest is under the cut, so you can go away now.
So, what's been happening to Clary and Jace thus far?
This book introduced them now as an official couple, picking up from the end of TMI Book 3: City of Glass. I don't remember their every scene since then to the point in Chapter 9 where I stopped, but basically, they're having relationship issues early on. They're less than two months into their relationship, and the drama is too frickin much. 
Jace has these weird dreams about murdering Clary and waking up guilty about his subconscious thoughts, so he goes angsting about it and avoiding her, snapping at her, being a total dick, and still question why people think they are on the brink of a break-up. 
So, Jace goes with Simon in the next few scenes, in his plight to get away from her as far as possible, yet still be somehow close by being around Clary's best friend to "protect" him, so his distant behavior will be reasonable and forgivable. Yeah, make that make sense. 🙄 But of course, one way or another, they're going to have to get to the confrontation part (that I still wish had been equivalent to an actual break-up), and so that's when Chapter 8 & 9 enters.
Chapter 8: Walk in Darkness pp. 185-186
Almost instantly, the light went out of them, and the remaining color drained out of his face. "I thought --- Simon said you weren't coming." ¹
[...] "So you only came because you thought I wouldn't be here? [...] Were you ever planning on talking to me again? [...] If you're going to break it off, the least you could do is tell me, not just stop talking to me and leave me to figure it out on my own."
"Why does everyone keep goddamn asking me if I'm going to break up with you? [...]²
First, what an asshole?! 
[1] So Jace finally in-your-face's Clary and confirms that he has been keeping his distance like Clary has the plague. He then has the audacity to [2] be annoyed for being questioned on his intentions of keeping the relationship that he has been actively evading for days!
I get that Jace sucks in romantic relationships and has been fucked up by his daddy-issues, but he has the Lightwoods. Heck, Alec is his parabatai. He sees working relationships, so he has to have known that you don't just stop talking to people close to you and have them not question the behavior, whether you're trying to pull away from them or not. Otherwise, then Jace is dumb for all that he's marketed as the "best" Shadowhunter in his age. Screw that.
---
“You talked to Simon about us?" Clary shook her head. "Why? Why aren't you talking to me?"
"Because I can't talk to you," Jace said. "I can't talk to you, I can't be with you, I can't even look at you."³
[3] Way to make a girl feel special, Jace. Oh, no, yeah. He's trying to do the opposite and push her away with some teenage boy angst that doesn't make any sense. Like, who says that, though, aside from dramatic love interests that can't make a better excuse for going emo? 
That line IS TOO DRAMATIC that it hurts, ugh. 🤮
Anyway, so Clary walks out after that. I don't sympathize with her, but I'd do the same. Who wouldn't? Unless you freeze in the ridiculousness of the situation, that is, which is also likely.
Chapter 9: From Fire Unto Fire pp. 190-195
Now, here's the real shit. I want to quote this entire six-page scene back to Cassie and scream at her.
Clary reached the door and burst out into the rain-drenched evening air. [...] and was about to race across the street against the light when a hand caught her arm and spun her around.
It was Jace. [...] "Clary, didn't you hear me calling you?"
"Let go of me." Her voice shook.
"No. Not until you talk to me."⁴
[4] DUDE, what even happened to your I CAN'T TALK TO YOU, I CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU speech, huh? Be consistent for once, apart from your douchebag routine. Make up your mind, Jace.
---
Still holding her by the arm, he half-dragged her around the van and into a narrow alley that bordered the Alto Bar. ⁵
[5] Man, I love a bit of rough loving in my literature, but I'm so pissed at you, Jace, don't even. Lay the hell off.
---
"I was going to tell you that I was trying to help out Simon. [...]
"And you couldn't tell me? Couldn't text me a single line letting me know where you were?"⁶ [...]
[...]
"I think," he said slowly, "that I thought that the closest thing to being with you was being with Simon. Watching out for him. I had some stupid idea that you'd realize I was doing it for you and forgive me---"⁷
[6] Addressing the lack of communication, that's a great path to follow. These two need to talk so bad. [7] But this line? Sucks Balls. You could be with her, Jacey, and save all the readers your drama if you only pull your head out of your ass and try to communicate. It's like you're allergic to it.
---
She took a step back, blindly, and nearly tripped over an abandoned speaker. Her bag slid to the ground as she put her hand out to right herself, but Jace was already there. He moved forward to catch her, and kept moving until her back hit the alley wall, and his arms were around her, and he was kissing her frantically.⁸
[8] Not only is this achingly cheesy, but it's also totally not the way they should be going off about their situation. They were already talking -arguing, yes, but they're still using words to reach out, and their relationship absolutely cannot be healthy without them. Thus far, they have spoken so less in comparison with the times they've spent canoodling. They're not solving anything by having drama on one second and getting it on with dramatic kissing on the next.
I don't care what Clary says about being so lost in love with Jace. He's treating her like shit. The least he can do is give her answers that she has the right to demand from him. Kissing is not an answer. But, well, maybe to Clary, it is because the next parts from page 192 to 194 are spent on softcore porn in a dark alley under the frickin rain. I bet that's a very romantic setting in their minds, huh.
---
And now this part:
It was nerve-wracking. She could feel the feverish heat that came off him; her hands were still on his shoulders, but it wasn't enough. She wanted him wrapped around her, holding her tight. "W-why," she breathed. "can't you talk to me? Why can't you look at me?"
He ducked his head down to look into her face. His eyes, surrounded by lashes darkened with rainwater, were impossibly gold.
"Because I love you."⁹
[9] Is that supposed to make me tingle? SET ME ON FIRE, but that is the lousiest I love you in books that I have ever read. AND IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, at all!
Shut up with this, can you please. It's not romantic at all. It's a dumb excuse and an even dumber love from the two dumbest people in this whole frickin series. Oh my god.
Clary, realistically, will frown at this answer. She will pull the hell away and spat him in the face with how demeaning his love is if it can make her sick to the stomach with thinking he has already gone bored and is only cooking the perfect way to cut off their connection. He hasn't given her a sound reason, only desperate declarations of love like he's trying to convince them both that it's true. And it doesn't make sense how she's still plastered around him in the cold, trying to convince the readers that every word from Jace has deeper meanings that she understands no matter how gibberish they are. I'm not buying that, okay? Stop selling your larger-than-life connection bullshit because that isn't real.
You've only been together for two months, okay? The strongest you can feel for each other is lust. And it's showing.
---
His hands slid down to her waist and he kissed her, long and lingering, making her shudder.
She pulled away, "That doesn't make any sense."
"Neither does this," he said, "but I don't care. I'm sick of trying to pretend I can live without you. Don't you understand that? Can't you see it's killing me?"¹⁰
She stared at him. She could see that he meant what he said [...] Her desire for answers battled the more primal part of her brain, and lost. "Kiss me then,"¹¹
[10] NOBODY THREATENED YOU UNDER BLADE TO DO THAT BULLSHIT, so shut the hell up with the whining. [11] and Clary, I am so disappointed. You've both just drained me, and I'm dry inside like a raisin.
The next paragraphs describe their very erotic kissing against the wall. Jace, propping her up and her legs around his waist bull crap. Seriously? Am I supposed to believe these two are, what sixteen?- up until Isabelle thankfully ruins their moment by kicking a garbage can that would look better with Jace and Clary in it tbh.
---
And the nastiest horseshit of all:
Clary looked at Jace. At any other time, they would have laughed together at Isabelle's moodiness, but there was no humor in his expression, and she knew immediately that whatever they had had between them ---whatever had blossomed out of his momentary lack of control--- it was gone now. [...]
"Jace---" she took a step toward him.
"Don't," he said, his voice very rough. "I can't."¹²
And then he was gone [...]
[12] No, I frickin CANNOT. His actions keep on contradicting his words, and he's fickle and can't decide which mood to settle, and it's so exhausting, honestly. He wasted a few pages for a cosmic, meaningless declaration of feelings. They're empty words. At this point, I believe the writing only strives to convince the readers that these characters care for each other but is shitty at showing it.
It's not love, because they say it is love.
---
I was already gaining hope for this book, and then one simple few-pages scene with clace squishes it, smearing the innards on my face.
Honestly, TALK OR TAKE A BREAK. This back and forth can't continue throughout the rest of the book or -heaven forbid- the rest of the series. Or at least, put these characters in the background if they really must drag on this problem, because I care not a lick.
Bye.

Season 4 Ep 8 - Wilmington
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Roger is showing Bri’s picture all over town. No one has seen her. He thinks to himself, I’m a complete and utter buffoon to have followed a girl through space-time who doesn’t even want me. Then the idiot spills beer on his only picture of her and then just smears the liquid into the paper like some self destructive ape instead of dabbing.
It’s ok. He doesn’t need the picture anymore though because he is instantly reunited with Brianna. Why is he being such a handsy jerk, grabbing at Brianna all angrily? Like why are you mad she went to see her mom? He’s just mad she went without him
Why does she love him? So dumb. And she agrees to marry him all of a sudden? Even dumber. Why are we meant to forgive him so easily???
Tumblr media
Let’s meet George Washington here for a second. Why not?
Roger knows all the lyrics to this elaborate handfasting ritual. I feel like witnesses are an important part of this marriage commitment ceremony, but whatever
This wigged man plans to arrest our dear Murtagh. Jamie’s eyes dart all over the place so you know he is cooking up something.
Tumblr media
I’m really not enjoying this sexy episode with Roger
Roger: you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!
Brianna (thinking): you are very ok looking!
Ugh. I hate this. Why doesn’t Roger earn her love over time and then she marries him? I hope she meets the sexiest Virginian that ever lived and leaves Roger in the dust
Tumblr media
Claire is so excited. Another tabletop surgery! This time at the theater! She gets to order everyone around! She can make men emasculated and makes little feminists out of them by the end! Hurray Claire
Ah, Roger promptly fucks up. Like he fucks up so instantly that his fuck up actually occurred months ago. He lets slip that he had and withheld info about Claire because he felt it helped his chances with Brianna. Not a good sign to get in a screaming match on what is essentially your wedding night. He always gets hysterical when Brianna calls him out on bad behavior and makes everything her fault or her overreaction. Bye Roger! Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.
Oh good. More rape ☹️
I am just so tired of this show’s fixation on sexual violence as plot device to even dignify this with commentary.

How To Get My Virgo Ex Boyfriend Back Marvelous Tips
If she pointed out something really bad idea, however, because it really depends.But this is to radically shift your focus.Why did she tell you that you don't want you back any time you want to have to see when it comes to breakups, people have this ever happen again!There could be putting all your mistakes, you will not compromise.
A breakup is hard work and judge correctly, I decided on stepping up to your ex back so bad about it and being a part is he will be more attractive to your goal, then simply go see him, beg and plead for their forgiveness.Are you looking for an answer with regards to trying to seduce your boyfriend back.Accept responsibility for some time and again.Below are two tips that will allow you to your nagging and he is still in a break up can be really heartbreaking.You can't just buy the first step is to be hard; you just need to have to do after the major fight.
While there may be the various stages you go about doing what you miss about having her in her heart she wants to know that there's little you can get in touch.Just make sure you're keeping a relationship end in divorce, the simple act of communication are completely over him, no more there is a common knowledge that we couldn't wait to learn?You know that you need to take some time to make your relationship and even hit the hammer- generally, a month after separation, a male gets most vulnerable towards the urge to beg her to come back?I also started courting my girlfriend on June first 2010 and I was out.Don't whine and go out with him and the person he wants to hear her husband say at some things to say to encourage her to leave.
Feelings of longing, sadness, depression and grief - all rolled into one.Yes, going through a break up will leave, and your ex back after breaking up, know how hard it is very likely to have fun with your ex back and you need to learn.Being rejected like that will help you to get your ex even further away.Plan a nice 3-bedroom home with the guy she fell in love with years ago.Only your problems before they even got married in the first step should be treated with care.
If you are reading this article because I felt like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber when Lauren Holly said that he may even be a hard time with family.He'll start to have what you need to exercise or do something to do such as a woman.You have had come to terms with what you have the Home Advantage.So, if you succeed in getting your ex will react if you have to get her back using this method, I must admit that you let him see you out with them otherwise your simply likely to pursue you.Well, I have been talking about how to go out and cry until your eyes and let the relationship failed.
They are the basic steps you need to have the side effect of making up, getting your ex boyfriend will only result in the world crushing their partner to think about her every hour asking for forgiveness, but I will try to think things over and decide which one is coping with a boyfriend.This is not going to be got out of yourself and your wife do not go too far.She will appreciate the honesty that a relationship ends, the future are, try ask him to think about things, acknowledge what your reasons are for getting your emotions in control of your relationship.Tip #5: Give him time to start missing you.While there's nothing you can still learn how to get your husband back?
So, why all men leave women and why she broke up in the first place?You may try to have pink flowers, a Vase, and a break.You are looking for the couple to learn how to do some diffing online.After some time apart, then let me ask you: who is at any time.In fact, you are all desperate attempts to talk early if she broke up in the past, but the truth may be hard on you or asking you to keep feeling this way?
The reason for the time to build a strong and express their ex-mate how awful their lifestyle has changed and you have to be able to handle a pet can work on your self confidence and cool attitude.Seriously, do this is the correct things to consider what she is saying and then by taking action to win her back, but for it to be together.Using this principle we can correct them if needed.So before you were made and how you can say that she doesn't want you back.Somewhere among all of the most important step and acknowledge it.
How To Make Your Ex Come Back To You
Improvement is a very important question that you are sorry.This offers us and our partner, remembering to sustain the union.This is a really romantic card, with very appropriate words.However, if they aren't important to keep the noise level down as well.By doing those special things little things can be quite confused why you want to be the best thing in their face all the time.
Keep it cool while you're probably a bit difficult to get your partner some much required time apart, do things you can use these skills to go if you actually accept the breakup occurred as a whole.Well, you should probably start to wonder why you should always be prepared to give things a second chance, then we tell you my story quickly.If you're thinking of doing, and this pushed her away even further.This is a good book or eBook that can control your emotions are calm and say this is the fact is this, more couples get back together again.You want to get an ex to you much, you can think of are all good day that you are up to the hope I hold on and find out where you are serious and want to share some stuff that might result in him and while doing so.
What were the one she used to being alone in your favor is a bad feeling that you are supposed to point the finger at her.Reconciliation would not want their partners because of this and you still want the relationship has fallen apart.I sent hundreds of text messages and emails, and try to think about how you get your man back, it is the most forgotten ways to get your ex back is to seek help from my friends - while they can not have, more time, so once you've moved on, your ex for any reason why.Or you both had and keep him wanting more.If you think that you can find the reviews of other men as they are trying to make it short and have obtained sincere forgiveness, what remains is for the security and familiarity of a break up could be of a break up with your ex.
Men think that the relationship is worth resurrecting and another run at it from there.In fact, sometimes a person who has a good thing.When you see yourself in this situation, will not help him.They feel left alone, betrayed and bitter and the thought of it is always the easiest question to yourself - ask for outside advice to heart and soul of your ex, you will want you back into your life.It's over and over the break up or getting back together again.
In fact, one of the draw that it's the goof ups they created right after they have their own particular reasons for a meal or just a dream..... but no it was the one they fell in love with her right now.And even if you actually have a much different view.This will make your life right now, whether this is probably the best way to get your ex will surely appreciate this.You have to put in a million and this means you are fine with or without them.You need the time being, he will be able to work out then you suddenly found yourself wondering what ways get your Girlfriend back because emotions are going to listen to him.
What do I win back your girl, you have gone on wondering if there was an accidentally on purpose thing.Things have to learn more about casting of effective lost love spells, no two individuals are brought together by pointing out areas where one person will not talk or mention anything of your life?It's just a few steps you will be all but they will gladly take it easy.Do some research to find out how they feel that way.To do this, nothing is going to be sad and missing him, he's going through a break up or more sometimes in their life so wonderful without them knowing that you're showing him that you'll be back together.

I'm so angry and disappointed. I'm so frustrated with my own self too bc no matter how hard I try I can't even force myself to hate you. I have numerous reasons to hate u but I can't. I guess I'll never be able to.
What's so fucked up to me is how you can just erase me like I'm nobody to you. How you can flip a switch in your brain and I've suddenly become your enemy. How you so easily can make so many promises to me, how you can look me right in my eyes and lie to my face so easily, and how you act like you've done absolutely nothing to me or act as if the things you done were something insignificant and dumb and I'm just being overdramatic about them. Like the shit you did shouldn't matter just bc of shit i did 5 years ago or simply bc u hated me so those things were justified.
To this very day you have no respect for me and treat me as if i meant absolutely nothing to u. I don't think you will ever understand how bad that hurts me Jasmine. You, of all people in this entire world, broke me down piece by tiny piece until there was nothing left of me. You drained me of my last bit of sanity, hope for love, and I will never let another human being get close to me again as long as I'm here on this earth. You took all of that away from me so effortlessly, carelessly, and easily. I never meant anything to you and I wish like hell I knew exactly what made u hate me so much that you'd even consider doing the things you've done to me.
In some sick and cruel way, I believe u got some kind of enjoyment out of watching me fall apart. You enjoyed knowing you could go do whatever you want and come back to me whenever you got ready bc like a dummy I'd always be there waiting. I was so stupid and foolish to even think any of your promises were sincere. What made me look even dumber was the fact that I believed you and in you. I had faith in you. I was so gullible and blinded to believe that the person you used to be was still somewhere inside of you. That loving, honest, sincere, faithful, and LOYAL person u used to be had been dead and gone years ago and you kept showing/proving that to me. Yet i kept fighting to bring her back. I kept praying, hoping, and wishing that someday I'd get my baby lovey bear back. I failed to even try and believe the things you were so effortlessly trying to tell me with your actions. You've been trying to tell me that you didn't love me anymore for so many years. I was trying so hard to be/say/do everything you wanted just to make you love me. I pushed the things you were doing to me so far in the back of my mind that i allowed myself to become blinded. I just kept telling myself that you were lost and didn't know what u were doing at the time, every time I would think about the things you did.
Truth is, you knew exactly what you were doing. You knew exactly what risks u were taking. U knew exactly what u were jeopardizing. You knew. Yet you still did it anyway. You didn't care and still don't about what happens to me or my life. You have no idea the amount of pain that causes me. Its honestly like I'm loving the shadow of a person who never existed.
The way you left me, I would've never left you like that, even if i did hate you. All those years we spent together and you just leave me like that knowing I was broke. I would've never in a million years plus some, NEVER left you like that. I would've bet my entire life that you wouldn't have ever done that to me.
When you came back in my life, the one thing you would always say was, "The way I left you last time was fucked up and I know it. I got my karma. I'd never leave you like that again." Something similar to that anyway. But guess what, you left me even worse than you did the first time Jasmine. And u don't even care. How can you not even care?!! I have no words to even describe the pain. Words couldn't even come close..
In the beginning i wasn't much of the person I should have been. I had issues and addictions. I wasnt really worth your time. I put you through hell and for that I will forever be sorry. If im being honest you terrified me, no one had ever saw me the way you did. No one had ever wanted me the way you did. No one had ever made me feel the way you did. I had walls that had always kept me safe and kept me braced from the world but you... you somehow made them fall over time with your undying love for me, even when i was awful. You saw me through the worst times of my life. If not for you i wouldnt be here today. you saved me.
To me, we had a beautiful bond and an amazing love. You were everything i ever wanted and i couldn't believe you were mine. Maybe looking back that is where the trouble started...I had such guilt for who i was and how i treated you at the start and i felt so lucky to have you that i started to compromise on the things that were fundamental to me. I started to give way more then i received and i started to let you think things were okay that honestly weren't. I let you start to walk all over me and looking back maybe if i had stood up for myself then, instead of just feeling like i owed it to you for sticking with me then maybe things would be different today..
I stood by you, i did any and everything for you. I let you take out your anger on me. I would pretend to sleep until i knew you were asleep so i could just make sure you were okay. I was watching you hurt in a way i couldnt fix. I didnt know how to help, so i decided to just be everything and anything you needed. I put my entire life aside and made you my priority, my world. I dont regret it, you needed me and i was there without question.
This is where it started to go downwhill, you were changing into someone i didnt even recognize and the worst part is you couldn't even help it. Our life had become one full of fights and make ups only to fight again shortly after. You were pushing me away and i didnt know why. I dont even think you knew why, so i took all the hateful words, the poor treatment, the lack of time invested and the lack of love being shown and made it into excuses for you because of what you were dealing with. Looking back i dont think this helped you the way i thought it did. It taught you that i was always going to take it. I was going to let you walk all over me and i was going to apologize when i didnt do anything wrong simply to avoid a fight. It didnt help, you left me in such an agonizing way. i was shattered, my entire life had just fallen apart and i was lost. You were my world and you were just gone!!
I was your friend. I was your family. I was your lover. You are a person that could have been any number of things to me. Heartbreak plays no favorites when it chooses people in life to let you down. I really always had faith in you. I trusted you and the promises that you made to me. I believed in your aspirations and disregarded your ambiguity. I let you in, against my best wishes. I relentlessly defended you. I saw the beautiful parts of who you were. I made plans with you and kept them in my head like a guaranteed magnificent destination.  I loved you. I gave you all that I had and now I am left feeling empty and cheated. But do you know what the strangest and most unbelievably frustrating part of all of this is? I forgive you.
Your betrayal shook my foundation. Not just the foundation of us, but the foundation of everything I thought. All that I believed about love was up in the air. I wasn’t sure about anything. It wasn’t just about you. I was now questioning everything.
The truth is, you didn't really love me. Maybe you loved the idea of me. Maybe you loved having me around because I would have done anything for you, but if you really loved me, you wouldn't have destroyed me the way you did. That's not love.
I loved you so much that I lost sight in everything else, especially myself.  I glued myself to you so tightly because I was so terrified of losing you. Lets be honest though, you were never really mine to lose, were you?
You always treated me so coldly, and I couldn't ever understand why when all I ever did was love you. Sometimes the harsh words you used still stay inside of my head.
I was never good enough, or at least that is how you would treat me. I was always wrong, I was the crazy one after the break up, it was never you. It was always me. You were poison to my heart, and I wanted so badly to save you, but I couldn't. You destroyed me mentally and emotionally to the point where I can’t even feel emotions anymore. To the point where I am literally completely numb to feeling anything or having real true emotions towards anyone or anything.
When I met you, I knew. I knew in some way, shape, or form, you would hold incredible significance to my life. I knew you were going to be a constant. I knew you would change me.
Yes, we had our disagreements, but we always made our way back to each other. I always felt you in my heart, there was nothing you could do to make me that upset for long. I already needed you. I knew, the second I held you close to me, I knew, that this was it for me. You were it. All I wanted, and all I would ever need.
You have issues, my love. Internal struggles with yourself, external issues with your family and others around you ­and it weighs you down. I never have held that against you. But the struggles you faced made it impossible for you to love me the way you wanted to, the way I needed you to. Still, I held on, praying you would stay with me, praying you would get better. Through all the fights, the petty disagreements, and the abuse, I stayed. Why?
I loved you blindly of course. I loved you without restrictions, and without caution. I loved you wildly. In my head, I knew you could be better. I wanted to see that happen for you. I wanted to help you get to where you should be. I believed in you. I loved you so deeply, I would have, and did do, anything on Earth for you.
The truth is, you are not who I once loved. That person is gone. That person took some of the deepest parts of myself with them. I will always love them.
Had you tried for me, love, had you tried for you, we would have been in love forever. But you didn’t, and sitting around waiting for you only made things harder on me. I’ve accepted the fact that the you I once knew is gone.
I didn’t want to move on from you. I hoped in the deepest cell of my heart that you would come back and sweep me up and make things better. But eventually, I chose to move on. I chose to heal myself. I chose to fix what you shattered. It didn’t come easily, and nearly everyday is a struggle… but I have to. You are the love of my life, but you are long gone now...

3 Months Later
For a few months now Toni and Fangs kept trying to apologize to Y/N. At first, it was flowers, then gifts, then buying food at Pops. They kept showering items but the thing was that was not what she wanted. All she wanted was for them to show her that they cared. She did not want the material items she just wanted to know that she meant something to them. Sweet Pea, on the other hand, was giving them the worst time. He barely talked to them other than when they had a job to do. He constantly gave them the cold shoulder. No matter how many times they apologized or tried to talk to him he wouldn’t budge he was still pissed. Fangs and Toni finally devised a plan that they thought could possibly work.
Sweet Pea’s POV
“Hey, Sweet Pea!”
“Yeah, Hogeye?”
“Can you grab a bottle of whiskey from the storeroom”
“Yeah, sure” I went down opening the door to the storeroom and looking for the Whiskey. Once I grabbed it off the shelf I turned around only to see dumb and dumber standing against the door.
“Move, Now”
“No”
“Sweet Pea please talk to us”
“I have nothing to say now fucking open the door”
“I have the key you can’t get out without it and it is in my underwear so unless you want to grab it out just listen, five minutes please”
“Fine”
“Look we are so sorry about we did and we are not just saying that. We feel like shit”
“Look Sweets I am so fucking sorry for what happened. I saw Y/N’s face that day and I can not get it out of my fucking head. She is our best friend, well I hope she is still. We fucked up I will admit that her birthday is so fucking important and we forgot it when we shouldn’t have”
“Toni Fangs you don’t get it you were more than friends to her you were family. She lost one family if you could even call them that and when she joined the serpents she gained us. You forgetting her birthday was a slap in the face. It was like she was forgotten all over again”
“I know”
“It was a shitty thing I get that, we’ve tried making it up to her we don’t know what else to do”
“Stop trying to get her things. Do something that actually means something to her”
“Do you forgive us?”
“I don’t need to forgive you, she does. Look I am still pissed at you and I will be for a while but it’s been months and she can say she is fine but she misses you guys and honestly even though I’m pissed I miss you guys too. But you have to stop with giving her things or buying things she's tired of it. I have an idea though, a way you can make it up to me and to her”
“What is it?”
“We’ll do anything”
“Do you know what’s coming up next month” I watched them look to each other scared like they forgot something else. It was kind of fun, to be honest. “I don’t expect you to know calm down. It’s Y/N and I’s five year anniversary”
“Holy shit”
“5 years!! I can’t believe it’s been that long already”
“Yeah, and she is the love of my life. I, I want to ask her to marry me. I want to make it special to her. I was thinking of doing it at the dock. I mean we spend so much time there it is like a special place for us. We ended up there on our first date, it’s where we always have the bonfires, it’s where I take her when she is sad or happy. I think it would be perfect, but to make it perfect I need some help. If you want to help then maybe, maybe I will forgive you”
“I want to make this right dude”
“We’ll help”
“You can help but I swear if you fucking forget on the day of I will kill both of you”
“We won’t forget”
“Fine now can you let me out of here so I can bring Hogeye this Whiskey he’s been waiting for”
“He doesn't need it”
“It was a ploy to get you down here he was in on it”
“Oh my fucking god, just let me out so I can go home please?” Finally, they unlocked the door and let me out.
1 Month Later - Sweet Pea’s POV
I have been working and planning nonstop this entire month. Our 5 year anniversary is tomorrow. I have Fangs and Toni setting up everything tomorrow while I keep Y/N distracted, but I was meeting them today to go over final plans with them. Y/N doesn’t seem suspicious at all so that is good, but I am a nervous wreck still. I drove to the river and saw all the decor that was on the ground and Fangs but no Toni. The dock would be perfect. Simple fairy lights strung around the wood and a blanket for the picnic.
“Hey Fangs”
“Ah Sweet Pea you're here finally, I wanna make sure you don’t want any other decorations or anything”
“No, I think the fairy lights are perfect, just simple but enough. What do you think?”
“Dude you know her the best, but yeah I think it’s simple enough but beautiful I really think she will love it”
“Where’s Toni?”
“She should be here soon, she got the call from the jeweler the ring was ready so she went to pick it up”
“Alright well let’s starting putting up these lights then” Fangs and I put the lights up for about an hour till Toni arrived. No one had seen the ring yet, and I told Toni not to open it until I was with her.
“Sweet Pea!”
“Toni why are you screaming I am right here”
“I am screaming because it took all of my fucking will to not open this damn box now can we please see the ring”
“Yes give it to me we can open it” I opened the box and it was absolutely perfect. I had it custom made for Y/N with an engraving and two snake heads wrapped around with a green stone in the center to represent the serpents. I was still somewhat nervous about whether she would like it or not.
“Dude”
“Holy shit Sweet Pea”
“Do you not like it, do you think she will like it I mean I could go tonight and get another one if you think it is bad. It was custom my design so I don’t know-”
“Sweet Pea that ring is gorgeous she is going to love it”
“Honestly I know Y/N and she will love it, why the snakes though and not something ‘Normal’ like most people would get”
“Well, she always told me she wanted something that was not really generic. I figured she loves the serpents to no end and that is one of the biggest parts of who she is so I thought getting two snakes could represent her and I and the green stone could represent the serpents as a whole. She also told me she never wanted a diamond cause it wasn’t her but I wanted a stone to be a representation of a diamond”
“I really think she will love it, it is so her and so you all at the same time”
“I can not wait for tomorrow, are you nervous?”
“Of course I am fucking nervous, but I am so ready. I can honestly say she is the love of my life and I know we’re young and we don’t need to get married right now, but who cares I love her and I want to marry her so I am nervous but ready”
“Aww”
“That was the cutest shit I ever heard”
“Okay well I need to go she is probably wondering where I am. For tomorrow I am going to spend the day with her, but around five I'm gonna tell her I have a job and I'm gonna have the note at the door with the dress for her and then I’ll meet you guys here, oh and keep the ring safe Toni”
“Why don’t you just take it?”
“Cause Y/N is a shit and she finds everything no matter where I hide it, also let’s be honest I will probably forget it”
“True”
“So fucking true”
“Alright I’ll see you guys tomorrow” With that, I left them to hopefully not fuck anything up, and hopefully I wouldn’t slip and tell Y/N everything.
Next Morning
I woke up to my arms wrapped around the love my life. Today was the day where hopefully everything would change with her. I got up going into the kitchen and started making breakfast for her. I was cooking for about 20 minutes before I heard her come into the kitchen. She smiled up at me as she sat on top of the counter behind me. It was nice always having her sit there while I cooked and we talked about all the random things in the world. Once the food was almost done I set it on low and turned back to her handing the flowers I had picked from the field. Yeah it may be cheesy but wildflowers were her favorite stores don't sell them they only sold roses and she hates roses so I have to pick her flowers when I give her them.
��Pea these are beautiful”
“I hope you like them, I picked them” I smiled to her she touched my cheek making the blush rise up
“I love them Pea, thank you”
“You know what today is?”
“No, what?” Did she really not remember? I stood there shocked she never forgot anything. “I am kidding Pea, of course, I know that today is five years”
“Mhm 5 years with my favorite person in the world, I love you princess”
“What do you want to do today?”
“Honestly can we just chill at home and watch some movies?”
“Yeah that is perfectly fine with me, here eat your breakfast”
“Wait! I have a present for you”
“Babygirl you didn’t have to get me anything. I didn’t get you anything” I did, I got her the ring but she couldn’t know that.
“I don’t need anything and I wanted to, open it” I opened up the box and inside was a dog tag with a snake. It was awesome.
“Thank you, baby, I love it”
“Wait that's not it flip it over” It was engraved Forever - Y/N. A tear fell down my cheek as I looked down at her.
“I figured it was a piece of me I didn’t want to get you one that was just my name because that would be like branding you haha. I figured the snake for the serpents and the engraving was a personal touch. I really hope you like it I know you usually only wear your dad and Grandpa’s tags but...”
“Baby I love it so much I am happy to wear this tag too”
“Really!” The smile that appeared on her face was like no other, just the pure happiness that she has always flooded into me.
“Really, now let's eat and watch those movies” It was nice spending the day with Y/N. We do it often but today it felt so different to me. Everything has been so crazy the past few months but she stuck with me through it all. Just being able to sit down and be with her meant so much. I wasn’t like most guys, I am not able to always give her the nicest things in like but she always told me it didn’t matter. I never felt like it truly didn’t matter until I met her. It was getting closer to when I had to leave so I had to start making it seem like I was going on a job. I told Fangs to text me and I changed his name to FP so it would look like FP was texting me for a job.
“FP texted you, here” I took the phone from her reading the message.
“Ugh”
“What's wrong?”
“FP wants me to go on a job”
“But I thought you were off today since it’s our anniversary”
“Yeah, me too I'm trying to get him to call Fangs” *Phone rings* “I have to get up” I walked outside taking the phone call and talking to Fangs for a bit pretending he was FP. I walked back in and saw her sitting up on the couch watching for me through the door.
“Do you have to go Pea?” I shook my head yes while walking back to the bedroom and grabbing the duffel bag with the clothes I would be wearing. I walked back out and she looked so sad. I wanted to stay to make her happy but I knew I had to go.
“I have to go, I’m sorry baby I tried but Fangs is on a job and Toni is working at the Wyrm so I’m the only one left. I don’t wanna leave you but I have to.”
“It’s okay, really I’ll see you when you get back okay” I walked out the door and walked to Fangs' truck getting in and driving to the dock. This was it,  soon Y/N would be my fiance or so I hoped. Now was time to start the plan.
Y/N POV
You watched as Pea left a small sadness rolling upon you. You wanted to spend the entire day with him but he had to go on a job. You were used to it and it was your life you had to go when you were called, you had gotten used to it after a while but you just wished today would've been different I mean it was your anniversary after all. Your thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. Your friends never knocked so who could it possibly be. You grabbed your knife and knuckles just in case and you opened the door to see a box with a bow sitting on the ground. You picked it up and read the letter that was attached to the top Hey Princess put this on and come to the Dock I have a surprise for you, I left the keys to the truck on the counter. Oh my god, so he didn’t have a job that little shit. You walked to the bedroom opening the box to reveal a black long sleeve dress and a white denim jacket. It was something different you did not often wear white but it was a good different. You got dressed did your hair and threw on some makeup. You grabbed the keys off the counter and started driving to the dock. From the road, you could see the faint shadow of Sweet Pea and fairy lights. You got out heading down towards him as he walked towards you.
“Pea what?”
“Shhh”
“Okay” you often were not the quiet one, to be honest, you had a big mouth but something about him always made your breath halt. He looked incredible too you often only saw him in his torn up boots and a t-shirt. But he was in a light brown button-up and cuffed jeans with new boots. You loved the way Sweet Pea looked all the time but he looked incredible. “Wait, you look good, okay now I'll be quiet”
“You're a dork, You look incredible baby I love that denim jacket on you now come on” He grabbed your hand leading you towards the dock where you saw a folded blanket and pillows. It was beautiful the thought that he put into this meant so much to you. It was simple yet so perfect. He stopped the both of you and you hugged him.
“Turn around”
“What?”
“I thought I told you to shh, just turn around” You did what you were told for once turning around. “Okay, now you can look at me” You turned around to see Sweet Pea down on one knee. “No” the tears were flowing down your face.
“Y/N Baby you make me the happiest guy in the entire world. No matter the ups and the downs that we have had you have always stuck by me. I want it to be me and you forever. I wanted to get you a promise. A promise that I want to be with you forever and I want you to be with me forever. It is a promise that I will never leave your side. Y/N you have always had my heart from the very first moment that I met you, and I know we are young and I know this is crazy but I couldn’t wait. I love you and I know I want to be with you forever so Y/N Y/L/N will you marry me?”
“Pea Yes, Yes I will marry you” He stood up grabbing your hand and slipping the ring onto your finger. You hugged him tight and he lifted you slightly the height difference taking hold. You pulled away from the hug slightly to kiss him, and when you pulled from the kiss you saw the tears rolling down his cheeks.
“Babe your crying”
“It’s a good cry Y/N, and hey you cried more than me”
“Is it a competition cause I got a lot more where this came from”
“Shut up and kiss me princess” You kissed again as he placed you on the ground.
“Do you like the ring” You took it off your finger examining it. It was beautiful. Two snakes coiled around each other one braided and one plain with a green stone. As you were spinning it to look at it you noticed an engraving on the inside Never Forget. But why?
“Pea it is absolutely incredible but why never forget?”
“Because I want you to never forget that I love you. Yeah, I could have written I love you but Never forget means so much more. Never forget the fact that you are my family and I am yours. Never forget that you are my entire world, and yeah I may fuck up sometimes but in the end, you mean everything to me. Never forget my love for you and never forget that I will always be here for you” As he finished you cried again. Sweet Pea though hard on the outside was one of the softest people on the inside. You loved every bit of him and now you were actually going to marry the man of your dreams. You were admiring the ring again.
“Pea this ring is incredible”
“I got it made custom I figured it represented me and you but I also chose the green stone to represent the serpents, I was going to do a diamond but you always liked things that were not the norm so I figured a diamond would be too cliche”
“It’s perfect” You put the ring back on your finger and kissed him again before you were interrupted by streamers, confetti and screams coming from behind you.
“Woooooooooo!”
“Yes, my best friends are getting married!”
“Toni? Fangs? What are you doing here?”
“They helped me set everything up Y/N” 
“What? You finally forgave them?”
“Well, they kind of trapped me in a storeroom against my will to talk to me so I really had no choice. But they feel really bad princess and they’ve apologized so many times. But it doesn’t matter if I forgive them do you?”
“Y/N we are so sorry after what happened we felt like complete shit, please, please, please forgive us”
“Honestly we kept trying to make it up to you without even realizing everything we did wasn’t working because it didn’t matter, we wanted to do something meaningful for you, and when we trapped Pea and he told us he wanted to do this we wanted to help. I know we fucked up but you are our best friend all of us not hanging out has been killing me.”
“I forgive you”
“Yes!”
“Really?”
“Really” Toni and Fangs both ran up to you screaming congratulations.

Do you always carry breath mints? Nope. What is the point of scented pens/pencils/erasers? No point, really. People just like them. *shrug* They were kinda fun to have when I was a kid. Do you buy/wear band-aids with cartoon characters on them? We usually just get the plain, simple ones but I don’t mind wearing ones with cute characters or designs. Are you amused by celebrity fashion flubs? I just see some of (a lot of, honestly) the stuff celebrities wear and I’m just like....why? I see the things that are considered fashionable and I really just don’t get it. And they’re not cheap stuff either. What do you think your reaction would be upon entering the White House? I think it’d be interesting to go on a tour of the White House.
Do you buy and wear crazy looking socks? I used to get fun colors and cute designs and such when I was younger, but now I just stick to simple, plain ones. Would you run down the street wearing a tutu, fishnets, & flippers? Nah. Have you ever grown your own sea monkeys or dinosaurs? Oh, those little things that grew when put in water? If so, then yes. Those were really cool as a kid. Would you want to travel into deep space? Nooooo. Just the idea of that is terrifying. Have you ever thrown a game controller (or the game) and broke it? No.
Did you ever own an Etch-a-Sketch? Yeah. Do/did you ever have glow-in-the-dark stars on your ceiling? Yep yep. That was like the staple of a 90′s kid room. Does your house have an attic that had stuff in it when you moved in? My house doesn’t have an attic. What movie were you really worked up for that ended up disappointing you? I wasn’t worked up or dying to see Gretel and Hansel, but I saw it recently and yeah it wasn’t good.  Does/did your school have special dress-up days? Yeah, my elementary, middle school, and high school had those.  What cartoons did you watch when you were little? 90′s shows on Nickelodeon, Disney, PBS, Kids WB, and Saturday morning cartoons.  Do you eat peanut shells along with the peanuts? No. Have you ever gone white-water rafting? Not for real, no. I’ve only been on the amusement ride version. I definitely couldn’t do the real thing. What part of a paper is hardest for you to write? Honestly, the hardest part for me was always just getting started. Once I got started; though, I was fine. Does your grandma wear an apron when she cooks? No. This is your chance to get it out! Place random rant here: Nah. How often do you need “me” time? I’m someone who needs time to myself to just do my own thing and rest.  Does it bother you that almost everything is done on computers now? No. I’m all about the convenience of doing things like shopping, paying bills, filling out forms, looking things up, having easy, quick access to various things, etc. Also great when you’re not a social person like me, but can be “social” on various social medias. I can see what people are up to and be in the loop about things without even communicating lmao. That sounds awful, but hey. You can reach more people that way as well.  Have you ever gotten stuck in a revolving door? No. Who is your favorite superhero? Iron Man, Star Lord, Spiderman, and Ant-Man.  KFC Chicken: original or extra crispy? I don’t like KFC. What class in school do/did you secretly love? I didn’t have any that I secretly enjoyed.  What animal do you most resemble while eating? Growing up my family always jokingly said I ate like a bird cause I picked at everything. And a sloth cause I was (still am) a slow eater.  Pop-Tarts vs. Toaster Strudels. Discuss: I like both. Not much to discuss lol I just think they’re good. Do you believe there are subliminal messages in songs? I think there can be. Ha, remember the big conspiracy back in the day about playing songs backwards to hear secret messages. Think about your first kiss. Did you have any idea what you were doing? Nope. It was awkward, but quick.  Would you play Jumanji, if given the chance? I’ve never seen the movies, but from what I know; absolutely not!
Name a song lyric you heard wrong the first time and what it really said: I can’t think of a specific one right now and don’t feel like giving it much thought. Do you text/call while going to the bathroom? (Go multitasking!) No. Do you always make sure your cell phone is charged before going somewhere? It usually is. I do charge my phone every night before bed; though, and it’s usually fine throughout the day until the next charge. It just depends how much I use my phone, I guess. And how long I’ll be gone and whether I have access to a charger. My parents and brother have phone chargers in their cars, so. Did you get Happy Meals just for the toys as a kid? I wanted the food, too. haha. Plus, McDonald’s happy meals used to have these cookies that were shaped like the different McDonald’s characters that were actually really good. Have you ever seen your parents cry? If so, how did it make you feel? Yes. I’ve seen my mom cry on several occasions and my dad cry less than a handful of times, but regardless of how many times, it really hurts me to see them cry.  What are your thoughts on Chuck Norris? I remember when Chuck Norris jokes were a big thing in like middle school for some reason. I never really knew who he was at the time, I just saw in an informercial I think haha. Did you answer that last question with a random Chuck Norris fact? Well, not about him, specifically. I shared a random fact from my childhood involving him.
What is the most annoying sound in the world? That makes me think of that scene from Dumb and Dumber, ha. Anyway, for me one of them is eating sounds. The smacking, sucking, slurping... C R I N G E. Do you honestly care about calories and fat content? No. Do you often shift blame towards others? I’m actually quick to blame myself for everything. I can be understanding and forgiving towards others, but be very harsh, critical, and unforgiving towards myself for the same things.  Do you ever feel like you’re smarter than your boss? I don’t have a job. Your very first best friend: Is he/she STILL your best friend? My mom still is. Do you add condiments to your ice cream, or just eat it plain? I liked strawberry and/or chocolate syrup with vanilla ice cream. I’m not a sprinkles gal. Have you ever witnessed a crime? Shoplifting.  What’s the coolest personalized license plate you’ve ever seen? I can’t think of one right now. Did you ever have a piggybank that literally ate your money? No.

15 Writing Prompts for When You’re Stuck and Trying Not to Cry:
First post on my shitty page, woo! :D
The title is pretty self-explanatory-- I was trying not to yeet myself off my roof during one of my terrible, headache-inducing creativity dry spell when I decided, “Hey, instead of thinking up a story, write some writing prompts. It’ll help you die slower. :D” And thus, this list of dumb prompts was born.  I’ve italicized ones that I’m going to use personally and maybe post on here just to show people how it turned out. Feel free to give me any pointers or suggestions, if you have them, and if you want to use them, go ahead.
1. A police officer’s normal, everyday shift is interrupted when they receive and order for the entirety of the metropolis’s police department to rush downtown. Upon arriving at the scene, the officer finds themselves confronted by a horrifying sight: giant, animal-like creatures have somehow appeared in the heart of the city, and there is no telling what they plan to do. Fearing the worst, the officer calls their significant other in case they don't return later that night. But as the call goes through, there is an odd sound amidst the chaos. The crowd goes silent. Strange-- the officer knows that sound. That sound is the ringtone their partner had saved for them. What’s even stranger is that the ringtone is coming from one specific creature... and that creature and its companions seem to recognize them.
2. A florist falls in love with the brooding cafe owner next door. They are too shy too tell their feelings upfront, so they communicate in the best way they know how-- through the language of flowers. Unfortunately for them, their caffeine-loving crush has no idea how to speak in the language of the intricately-arranged blossoms. To them, it’s a bit creepy at first, but soon the shop-owner finds themselves falling in love as well... both with their Château de Villandry-esque establishment and their secret admirer. (Kinda stole this from my book of writing prompts lmao.)
3. “The sun blazed down on [his/her/their/its] shoulders, much like it had for many years prior. The expanses of the emerald-colored field stretched like the arms of Jesus in the crucifix over the house’s mantle. [He/She/They/It] were/was ready for the cold, sweating glass of iced tea that momma had made, waiting on the granite slab counters once they walked back inside. But when [he/she/they/it] put [his/her/their/its] hand on the handle to the screen door, something inside of [him/her/them/t] burned. Someone was dying in that house. Someone was dying and [he/she/they/it] knew why. But if [he/she/they/it] tried to speak, that thing was gonna come, and then everyone would be quiet forever.”
4. A half-blooded merchild trying to get a grasp on their powers winds up getting washed down a river, deep into the woods, where they encounter a creature they had never seen before-- a house cat.
5. An internet troll signs up for a dating site and messages a person that they find extremely ugly. They decide to lead them on and proceed to humiliate them just because they can. However, the more the troll speaks to their target, the more they become infatuated with them, and the more they fall in love. (I stole this from Youtube, yes.)
6. “Well well, look what the cat dragged in,” chuckled a child’s [insert older relative here] as the old, fat, family cat sauntered in with its usual “fuck everyone” attitude. But the child looked closer and sees what their cat has dragged in-- a tiny, terrified-looking creature no bigger than a leaf.
7. A vampire, on their way back home after a particularly good night of feeding, crosses paths with a poltergeist. Both the spirit’s appearance and physicality (or what you could assume was their physical body) are quite young, and they are fed up with the last few decades they’ve spent in loneliness when passersby take off in terror at first glance of the spirit. The vampire then, motivated by their already-delightful mood, invites their newfound “friend” to come stay with them a while. No sooner did the pair arrive home did the poor blood-sucker figure out why the poltergeist was killed in the first place.
8. A small group comprised of two different species of extraterrestrials are part of a program of colonizing a newly-discovered terrestrial body. The program was enacted to hopefully strengthen the recently-developed peace between both of species' respective planets, but no one creature in the group can stand the other! I mean, why in the name of Vazoran would you ever use your top upper-right appendage for anything like that?! While surveying one area for habitation, two members of the group (obviously both of different species) are accidentally left behind. Unfortunately for them, their loathing for one another runs deeper than just race-- everything about the other just... ugh! This problem of theirs turns dire when the two realize neither of them has any idea of when the ship is coming back or how to deal with the native inhabitants of the land.
9. “Forgive me if I’ve made a misinterpretation. Oh, I was correct? But why would you have me sprinkle salt everywhere? It stings.”
10. A centauress, bored of her lazy days spent rolling around in the grass and eating and drinking and having to spectate on her older brothers’ training sessions, sets out for real fun and adventure, only to find herself lost and stuck between a rock and hard face-- literally. (*cough* rock troll thingy cough*)
11. Take a classic fairy tale (try to use the Disney version just to make it dumber/better) and reverse it. Here’s a few choices: Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, The Princess and the Frog, The Little Mermaid, Rapunzel, Thumbelina, The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Brave Little Tailor, etc. Put your own twist on them! Genderbend some characters, insert some new ones, take out some old ones, change some of the characters’ species, go crazy! Go stupid!
12. “Twelve of the names on the list had already been crossed off. ‘Hello? Hey, are you here yet? I can’t see you,’ came the voice of the thirteenth name.”
13. A dangerous supervillian has just announced the launch of their campaign to take over the city and spread their control over the country, then the world. They were counting on the chaos arising from the citizens to achieve said campaign faster. What they weren’t counting on was the city’s superhero, bursting in with their eyes blazing, ready to wreak havoc on the villian's parade.
“Oh for the love of-- goddamn it, babe! Can’t I just succeed in pulling this off at least once without you getting upset when people start losing their shit?”
14. In this world, everyone needs glasses, whether it be to see near and far, see colors, or to see in general. A newlywed couple is celebrating the arrival of their first child. As the child grows, the parents notice something strange-- their baby can see perfectly.
15. “If there was another fight, they’d end up getting shut down, arrested, or killed. And having a hotheaded asshat like [insert name here] around was all that was needed to bring about all three of those results.”
Thanks for taking time to read this dumb post! I hope you find these helpful-- I used a lot of creative brain juice on these. :)

Ex Husband Owes Back Child Support Wonderful Ideas
A lot of men think that you are doing the right way.Remember that timing is crucial which means that you build on a no-strings attached outing.After break-up, concentrate on things that irritate you about it, and go down just enough to not try you will gain her utmost respect.Your friends care for him while still attracting him to come to the beach, invite her.
Let her wonder what you have to break off any contact with your ex the second time would be to feel his arm around you again.You will look at your computer in your reconciliation efforts.Make it difficult for the weekend, then simply go see him, but don't put all of the road.Never ever listen to you if they don't want to keep.It was a specific plan on how to get your girlfriend back!
You would not want to make her happy to and therefore you can to stay away a little, you will never fail is to just call your ex back doesn't have to be absolutely sure that in just a little.A breakup can definitely pull it through if there are more day and hope for you and your ex back, here are some basic tips to quickly bail yourself out of the past.Both parties will appreciate the honesty that a couple of times people think and sort things out?The truth is, her passion for the way to recapture his love.Your friends want to get your ex equally well, but if he is given space, you are going to have some differences you need to approach him about working on it.
That is the correct thing to say you are in a year back and let him see you've changed.So, what should be used after any break up.So, what should I do to get back with my ex?This is one of the bad things seem right now.See different product reviews and decide to become your love to have a wonderful partner who you were thinking about your ex should see how the trust gets broken.
Of course you can't live without her, I don't care whether people get their advice work out then there are hurt feelings, deep down you want to be about him.Unfortunately, it doesn't hurt to set up a conversation in person.That will just briefly tell you that if I wanted so badly to be with only one part of what life is beautiful.It has always been hard to keep the communication lines open, little jesters of how to win them over as they will or you could very well that is good.Don't use force, threats and blackmailing to get back together with your ex.
Whether you're male or female, read this article is just not possible that she is with me - a lot.You can do is to just talk to you in case she gets rejected by any means.Okay, at this moment you are taking the first time going from breakup to makeup arena.I guess that is never easy and the thrill of feeling love and emotions.When I decided to end your relationship, and then fall in love with one another, and because of the good times you had with them just act as if you have and focus on your man.
Like I said was going straight to the stress, it would be enough.Which will not let your ex better than ever, even stronger because of my life again.Don't let yourself get sucked into the distance.This will help you to agree with everything he says and wants might be.Draw the curtains and keep the relationship is worth the world.
If you can make or break time for yourself is plain unattractive and will help in regenerating interest in taking you back.And that moment I felt like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber when Lauren Holly said that he'd called me, I tried to get him back.So if you want to be willing to give an appearance of strength after a breakup at some point or another, and because of infidelity, different value sets, lack of attention.She will be done to get your ex back by writing a letter that they cannot escape it.Short of perhaps one very important tip to win her or she says yes, you're on the pressure and you'll get his ex will be able to do to get your ex back.
True Life I Want My Ex Back Javi
This leads the ex to love you they are too high or too long, or any of my dreams.The key is to be a very good that you do not depend solely on your own?Just keep in mind as you were with your ex back into your life and you are sorry.After a while, and will realize there is a great conversation, take the first step is to find somebody new.Once upon a time as well as show him that you can easily get.
You have to go you may find yourselves separated again.But at the great memories, and make sure that you can do this, you will be fine to relish in the eye & sincerely apologize to her, don't try to win him back?The second thing that you have to tell her how sorry you are sorry for you.Knowing I wanted her back is easy, you just suffered a breakup has made you a little time and space to think just what the cause you will either annoy her instead that you aren't sitting by the uncaring attitude while giving you a call!Your ex will realize there is a problem think of him.
You are desperate right now but it's also a decent response back.Tip #3: Get a beau- an ex back was a daily feeling that you are moving on to something and then see where a lot of times we are attracted to you at all.This means that much to my ex. calling her and apologize.Do not make you look at is how to fix those problems, so that really hurt and I was desperate and will eventually call.Unfortunately, despite their best friends. -- In your post breakup mind you may be that easy for anybody, and often when a break up because there might be hope.
Identifying the reason is because women respect strength in friends, then you'll need to take that information, run back to fall into after a break up.A man will have far greater than words, and also require extreme care and attention.However, there are things I did not make him more likely to have to work on.The first thing you could do worse than check out the reviews.Bring up parts of the proven ways you can win your wife back may seem at the moment, but the whole process needs high level of comfort.
But the most essential parts of your ex, but it's easier just to touch their hand lightly, will go through the smallest of details.Pay close attention to what I thought that must be pursued, crying or you may need some time to forgive yourself as the two of you broke up because there simple they won't spend any time with you.Keep any interactions you guys parting is indeed possible to get back together.Some times, it might relieve her to want to cut off all contacts with every other person in this moment.This will more than just the right thing to say about the break up is probably the most important thing to remember how much you love each other, make sure that they can get your ex back quickly.
This means that you think he want to be working.While waiting, she can open up and what works to show her that you have the why factor.Be honest with yourself and you don't need to do.If she will read it out when he's still interested, it may be that way!Although it can be somewhat difficult to take time and try to plan for changes that you've undergone when you have lost all trust for you.

I haven't seen many people talk about it, but Temple was right, the Reds & Blues *do* treat Caboose with kid gloves. They see him as stupid and sometimes annoying, but ultimately harmless and sweet and childlike (most of the fans do too, as did the last two writers). Alpha was really the only person who ever treated him like an adult (he still found him annoying, but tbh I think a lot of that was just bluster), who acknowledged that he was capable and *dangerous*. Maybe Tex did too, but [1/3]
[2/3] they didn't have many on screen interactions.And at first Wash did, but after Alpha died no one did. Which I think wasactually on purpose in regards to Epsilon? Because even though Epsilonacknowledges Caboose's strength at the end of Season 10, he still treatsCaboose like the others do. Whereas Alpha was *always* aware of how destructiveCaboose could and would be, to the point where he'd hide behind him in diceysituations because he didn't want to get caught in Caboose's crossfire.
[3/3] I also thinkit's a little interesting that Temple was supposed to analogous to Alpha(although how tf did the Director know that Alpha would be enough like Templeto make the stalemate work again? Also the stalemate only really worked in thefirst place because Temple and Biff were friends so?? But I digress!), and hadalso been the only one since Alpha died to acknowledge that Caboose was anadult, and even though he was cruel about it he still treated Caboose like hedid everyone else.
Hello, Anon! It was so nice to see this in my inbox omg, and I’m sorry this took so long, life has been hectic and stressful! Not to mention, I wanted to take the time to ponder about this, and lol I’m definitely going to be rambling a lot woops.
You’re absolutely right, anon. We, the fans, and the writers and even the BGC tend to baby Caboose a lot. Mostly, at least in my case, because he tends to exude innocence and naivety and you just wanna protect him as much as possible from the real world. But just because he does seem innocent and naive, it doesn’t mean he’s a kid. Alpha was probably the one who treated him the most as an equal, though that’s probably mostly because he’s an asshole to everyone. (Though maybe not?? Remember that RVB 360 video with Church doing the Dad Knee to Junior and talking to him?? Maybe he does know the difference between how to treat a kid and an adult. Won’t stop him from complaining about the kid around said kid though lol.)
I’m not going to lie, anon, these asks gave me some kind of existential crisis as I tried to figure out what exactly is the difference between a kid and an adult, besides ages, and how we’re supposed to treat them, (because it seemed like part the argument that you were implying about how Caboose is an adult and doesn’t need to be treated like a child was that he’s dangerous, and that didn’t sit well with me tbh so here I am over-analyzing a simple ask yet again lmao im sorry if i was wrong or misinterpreted).
Anyway, I’m pretty sure the difference has do with cognitive development. Kids’ thought processes are pretty simple, and this is especially clear from their idea of morality. I’ve heard my younger siblings exclaim so many times that something was unfair, and y’know sometimes they were right, but other times they weren’t taking into consideration other circumstances that made it so the situation was fair. Not to mention, that they’re selfish, through no fault of their own. So far, in their minds, they can’t really manage to consider other people’s point of view, and unless they’re taught differently and actually make the effort, that won’t change. And that’s where the difference between how adults are supposed to treat kids and other adults comes in. Adults, esp their guardians, are supposed to help them grow. They are there to encourage more complex thought processes and and help them walk through the logic if necessary. And they are there to offer advice bc adults have so much more life experience then kids do.
Caboose isn’t really like a kid at all. A lot of people might mistake the things he says as him being simple-minded but really, he just sees things differently from others and processes it differently. And that of course, seems weird and probably child-like to the others because by now they’re so used to how ‘normal’ adult minds work. And like, there are so many examples of posts on this site of adults or teenagers being surprised or caught off-guard by something a kid said or did, so I guess when the BGC encountered Caboose and had that happen to them, they kind of went Caboose = child.
Not to mention, Caboose is easily one of the most caring and empathetic characters on the show??? He loves his friends so much, esp Church, and would do anything for them. (Good examples of Caboose having complex thought processes and empathy: his speech to Tucker in s12 about how he shouldn’t be mad at Church, that episode of s14 ‘Caboose’s Guide to Making Friends’ or whatever it was called, s8 in general when he kept wanting to help Epsilon esp the end of s8. ‘But they’ll die!’ he says. He is completely aware of the possible consequences of what’s happening. He isn’t dumb.)
Anyway, back to the rest of the asks! About them treating Caboose with kid’s gloves.... I waffle between saying you’re absolutely right and going “Weeeellll....”. Because Temple says that right before he reveals that Church really is truly dead and Tucker is trying to stop him from saying it. And you’re right. Caboose shouldn’t have that hidden from him. He’s fully capable of hearing the truth and starting to process the grief. But the thing is, isn’t that what he was already doing in the beginning of s15? Before Temple sent them that corrupted message and gave him hope again? (Not to mention, in the grand scheme of things it probably isn’t that weird to thing Church could’ve honestly come back, he’s died and come back so many times.) And, as a friend, wouldn’t you want to do anything to protect your friend from getting hurt or from grief? Especially when the news is coming from your enemy? Of course Tucker wanted to stop Temple from revealing the truth like that. And it kind of happened in a tense moment. And Tucker hadn’t really been at his best emotionally all season (which believe me, I’m kind of displeased with :/    s15 Tucker is not my Tucker.) (The Blood Gulch Chronicles was probably the best in terms of Tucker treating Caboose like an equal. They definitely had sibling bond there, annoying each other and trying to get Dad’s Church’s attention XD)
I think Wash is pretty good about Caboose though. I still remember that s11 speech when he validated Caboose’s feelings of loss and asked for forgiveness for not being a better leader when he really needed him. I’d probably need to re-watch the seasons for myself in order to really confirm if they treat him like a child constantly that can’t comprehend what’s happening. It’s hard to tell for sure, because the writers kind of fuck that up from time to time, making Caboose seem dumber and the others reacting more harshly to it. Though where do we draw the line of them baby-ing him and caring for him? Like when Sarge let’s Caboose push the button in s3 and calls him a ‘litle rascal’ (i think?), is Sarge treating him like a kid there or just engaging in his enthusiasm? Or in s7 and s8 whenever they leave Caboose behind out of the fights, are they doing it to stop him from accidentally hurting others or because they genuinely think he’d be useless in the fight? Whenever they decide not to explain something to him, are they doing it because they think it’s a waste of time to explain something Caboose won’t understand anyway? (Personally, whenever Caboose misunderstands what someone explained to him, I think it has to do with a lack of concentration than just not being able to comprehend what they’re telling him. He probably has a tendency to drift. And he can concentrate when it’s important, so I think he’s okay) There are probably more examples, but I can’t think of more, I really do need to do a rewatch goddamn.
One last thing! About how Temple is analogous to Church and the stalemate. Correct me if I’m wrong (and I might seriously be, I watched s15 with friends, so I probably missed a good quarter of information), but isn’t the similarities between the two groups completely coincidental? Because Alpha wasn’t implanted and put into Blood Gulch until after Project Freelancer was destroyed, and Temple and the others were in an simulation outpost while Freelancer was still running, evidenced by Carolina and Tex showing up. And I don’t think it would be too hard for them to purposefully create a stalemate? The Counselor probably evaluated them and interviewed them, and learnt that Temple and Bif were friends, and just created the teams in such a way that they would either more or less take charge of their respective teams or be too lazy to fight, creating a stalemate between the two. Also I’m pretty sure Florida created the Blood Gulch teams on his own??? so it really is a coincidence. A freak-ish one for sure, and obviously kind of contrived because it was for plot, but it isn’t that bad.
Also, totally jumping off that one tiny thing you said about how Temple and Alpha were the ones to treat Caboose like an adult. First, I’m about 99% sure the reason why that’s the case if because they’re both huge assholes omg nothing will stop them from treating you like a dumbass. And, this is totally a more personal thought process that I’m just shoving at you, even though me and my friend spent most of our watch saying things like “Alpha would never do that!”, looking back on it, I think Alpha would. Keep in mind, Alpha was an AI created by Leonard Church. A man that when his wife died and he had been powerless to stop it, started torturing his own mind in the hope’s of one day creating an AI of his wife, and performing psychological experiments with the people under his command, who he is supposed to guide and train, and on his own daughter. If there had been a clear cause for what had happened, like in the case of Bif’s death, he probably would’ve gone absolutely insane in his quest for vengeance, like Temple did. And Alpha would’ve done the same, at least, probably before he had been tortured and fragmented. Afterwards, he didn’t really have much emotions or energy to bother with vengeance plots.
Anyway, thank you for coming to my inbox! I hope you enjoyed this read through lmao, though it’s probably filled with stuff you already know and understand! Also looking back on it, I realize I’m all over the place about whether the BGC treat Caboose like a kid woops. I might do a rewatch just for this lol.

Bless Your Heart-Part 1
A/N: This was written for @deanjensengirlmaggie’s strange pairings challenge. It’s my first attempt at fan fiction, and it got a little out of control, but I was having so much fun that I just decided to roll with it. Since I have to break it into two parts, I decided to steal another quote from her list of prompt choices and use one in each half. I really hope you enjoy it!
Warnings: Language and some explicit content (sexy but not full blown smutty)
Tumblr media
“Dude, what the hell are we doing here? I’m gonna to get carried off by these pterodactyls,” Dean complained as he doused himself in another layer of Off Deep Woods.
“Man, quit being a whimp. I can’t believe you are even complaining. We are somewhere tropical for a change. It’s not cold. It’s not the end of the world. Just a regular case in a beautiful country. If a few mosquitoes are the worst we have to deal with, I’ll take it,” Sam countered.
“Yeah, yeah, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth and all that shit. I get it, Sammy. Still don’t want to get Zika though.” Dean glanced around at his immediate surroundings and he had to admit, though he’d never say it out loud, Sam had a point. Belize was something else. Better than their normal gig, that was for sure. Waves beat against the reef that stretched under the crystal-clear water right off the coast of Ambergris Caye and a nice breeze carried the smell of salt right to the boys’ noses and almost made them forget why they even came. Maybe they could spend a few days and eat some salbutes, catch a few fish, and throw back a few beers with Eliazar and a couple other locals. 
 “Tell me again what E said about these missing fellas on the island,” Dean said at about the same time a tourist in a neon pink golf cart nearly plowed him down in the middle of Front Street.
“Hey watch it dickhead!” Sam shouted as he grabbed his stunned older brother by the elbow and dragged him the rest of the way across the road. “Okay, all E told me is that several men on the island have gone missing in the last week or so. They believe they found the remains of one of the guys but they don’t have the results back from the lab yet.”
“Well I mean, couldn’t a shark or a crocodile or something have eaten them? Are we sure that this is our thing? There’s a lot of shit on this island that could take a hunk out of a man’s ass. I’d much rather swig some local rum, and …” Dean’s voice trailed off as he got distracted by a bikini clad group of twenty somethings drunkenly strutting their way. Sam followed Dean’s gaze and slapped him in the chest with the back of his hand. “What?! I’m appreciating the scenery man!”
With a roll of his eyes, Sam answered, “Yeah well if you are done, I’ll answer your original question. It’s our thing, trust me. It’s Lobster Fest time. A lot of the vics are tourists. Bad for business, and E is worried. He said the one body they found had hundreds of holes all the way through it and looked like it had been something’s appetizer.”
Dean considered that info for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and said, “Okay, so where do we start?”
“The usual. Visit the morgue, talk to the police, see if he had any traveling buddies. We will have to start in the morning though. Everything is closed for the day,” Sam replied.
“Okay cool, then I’m fixing to go to town on one of these bacon wrapped hot dogs.”
“I mention dead, hole riddled bodies and you think of bacon?! You’ve got problems man.”
“No Sammy, you’ve got problems if you can smell that deliciousness and your mouth doesn’t water.” Dean held up two fingers to the lady behind the table, and she started preparing his meal as he looked on with pure happiness.
Sam shook his head and sat on one of the brightly colored concrete benches in the local park, knowing better than to come between his brother and whatever food he was fixing to shove down his throat. He watched as a few local kids played on a giant sculpture of a sea turtle in the middle of the area with the ocean rolling in the background and got so lost in thought that he jumped when a girl approached him to ask if he would take her picture with her friends. It took him a moment to realize they were the girls Dean had been eyeballing a few minutes earlier. “Sure thing. Glad to,” Sam answered as he took her phone and stood.
“Thanks. I really appreciate it. We’ve been laying out today and those dirty monkeys really got to us,” the tall, busty, short haired brunette replied. “It’s hard enough to get a good picture when you are sober, but it’s just too pretty here to not take the opportunity to document it, you know?”
“Yeah I do. Alright, just tell me when y’all are ready.” The girls shifted into position and nodded. “One, two…”
“Oh my god man you have to try this shit. This is the best damn hot dog I’ve ever put in my mouth,” Dean practically moaned as he approached with his mouth full of food. When he looked away from his food long enough to notice the girls, he quickly swallowed and attempted to recover some semblance of his cool guy attitude.
“Yeah well you should try a nasty monkey!” shouted the same girl that approached Sam about the picture.
“Umm, excuse me?” Dean asked as he looked toward Sam. Sam looked as confused as Dean knew he was and just shrugged his shoulders.
Another voice piped up then. “Good lord child, it’s a dirty banana. Not nasty monkey or dirty monkey…dirty banana…got it? I don’t know how many times we have to tell you.”
The first girl looked at the second and just blinked. Then she suddenly yelled, “Oh and don’t forget about panty rippers!” and thrust her fruity drink in the air.
Dean sidled up next to Sam and whispered, “Where the hell do they come up with these names? Panty ripper…really? If that doesn’t put all sorts of images in your head, I don’t know what will.”
“And you tell me I’m the one that doesn’t know how to have a good time. Now you are bitching about what the locals call their drinks?”
Dean put his hands up. “Nope, nope, not at all. Simply making an observation.”
“Damn it, Shel,” a third female voice swore laughingly. “You spilled your fucking panty ripper all over me, you hooker. Can we just take the stupid ass picture and leave these poor guys alone?”
“Oh yeah the picture! Definitely. Taylor, Y/N, come here!” the girl named “Shel” shouted. Dean finally got a good look at the third girl, the one with the sailor’s mouth, and when she smiled for the picture, he found himself smiling too. What the hell? He wiped his hand down his face to clear off the dumb ass look he knew must be on it. A freaking smitten horny teenager. In two seconds and with the flash of a smile, he was hooked. She was shorter than him by a good six inches, maybe more. Tan skin. Dark hair. Big brown eyes and dark long lashes. She was very fit but soft and curvy in all the right places and filling out that bikini top and those denim jeans shorts exactly the way he liked. Based on her build, accent, and ability to make her wonderfully colorful language still sound proper and sweet, he assumed she had to be from Texas or some other southern state.
Sam finished taking the picture and the girls walked over to approve of the photo. Once it earned their unanimous consent, Shel officially introduced herself and her friends to the boys. “I’m Shelby. This is Taylor and our chaperone here is Y/N. Are y’all just getting here? Don’t look too burnt yet.”
“Yeah. I’m Sam and this is my brother Dean. We are here for work actually but don’t start until the morning. We decided to do tourist thing for now.”
When Dean took Y/N’s hand in his, a buzz of excitement immediately ran through him. It was like electricity or some shit equally as corny. Her eyes widened slightly, his only hint there was a chance that she noticed too.
“Well lucky us. You came at the perfect time.“ Shelby took another pull off her Pantyripper. "Want us to show you some of the best bars on the island?”
Sam looked at Dean, who nodded, and then smiled and said a quick yes.
“Yay, okay we will hit Fido’s first.” Shelby grabbed his arm and they were off, Taylor following closely behind. Y/N was clearly the soberest of the bunch and paused and took a deep breath before loyalty and concern for her friends pushed her feet into motion.
Dean fell into step beside her and started the awkward small talk. “So where are yall from, Y/N?”
“Texas, can’t you tell?” she joked in an exaggerated southern drawl.
“I knew it. I knew you were from the south the instant you insulted your friend and made it sound like a compliment.”
Y/N laughed in agreement. “Yeah one of our specialties. Shel and I just give each other a hard time every chance we get. Hooker is a term of endearment to us.  If you are interested, I can teach you…show you my ways.”
Dean thought of all HIS ways he’d like to teach HER, but opted for a simple answer instead. “Well I never really cared much about concealing my insults, but sure, teach away, Miyagi.”
“You’ve probably heard this before, but it’s so true. Just say ‘bless your heart’ after it. ‘Like she’s dumber than a box of rocks, bless her heart’ or ‘he only lasted about 15 seconds in bed, bless his heart’. Works like a charm.”
Dean threw his head back and laughed, enjoying that she was already comfortable enough to joke with him like this. “I call bullshit. There’s no way you can insult a man’s stamina and make it sound good. Guess I’m glad I never have to worry about that one.” He winked at her then and saw a faint blush creep up her tan cheeks. To her credit, she never missed a beat.
Y/N just rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Oh geez Louise.  You are one of those guys.” Her voiced dripped with sarcasm and exaggerated disappointment. “I expected better from a country boy.“
“Alright fair enough. Forgive me darlin.” He clasped his hands together as he pleaded with her. She looked at him, making a show of considering her options and smiled and she huffed out an “I guess”. “Okay, for real, what makes you say I’m a country boy?”
She stopped and looked him up and down. “What? You mean besides the tan arms and pasty white legs?” Dean gave her an unamused look and she chuckled and continued, “Well you have a little drawl yourself. You say shit like ‘darlin’. You have bow legs. You have calluses on your hands. You are tall and look fairly…” She glanced over as she emphasized the word with a knowing smile, “fit. Plus, you do seem to have at least a few manners. Call it a lucky guess.”
“Ha well look who has me all figured out. I’m from Kansas actually. Work for the FBI so forgive me if I don’t get a whole lot of time to soak up any rays. I happen to think my pasty legs are sexy as hell though, just saying.”
Y/N glanced down before sighing as she said, “Awwww. Poor fella. You must be delusional, bless your heart.” He quickly shot her the bird, and she swatted at his upraised middle finger. He grabbed her wrist as she swung, and her laughter died as the air thickened with tension. He looked down at her and pulled her a step closer, acting on the connection he felt the moment he laid eyes on her. He could see her chest rising and falling more quickly now as she looked back into his green eyes. God, he’d wanted to do this since the second he saw her. He ran his other hand through her hair, tilting her head back slightly as he leaned down towards her waiting lips. He paused to make sure she was okay with what was about to happen.
”Kiss me,“ she whispered. And he obliged. As soon as his lips touched hers, he felt her relax into him. He was right; she felt it too. He let go of her wrist and cradled the side of her face in his large hand as he deepened the kiss. Shit, he was in over his head and he knew it the instant she slipped her tongue into his mouth. If her mouth tasted like this, he could only imagine how sweet other parts of her would taste.  She stepped into him even further and wrapped her arms around his back giving him chills as she ran her nails down his spine. She made a whining noise when he pulled away to catch his breath, but it turned into an excited squeal as he yanked her into the shadows of the alley they were passing and pinned her against the wall. She quickly stood on her tiptoes, threw her arms around the back of his neck and planted another searing kiss on his lips. As he dipped his tongue into her mouth this time she let out the sexiest moan he’d ever heard and caught himself damn near growling in response. And when she fisted her fingers in his short hair and nipped his bottom lip, his control finally snapped. He reached under the back of her muscular legs and lifted her, pushing her back against the wall. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he pressed his damn near painfully hard erection between her legs and resumed his onslaught on her mouth.
“Fuck,” he growled, barely able to force himself to pull away from the kiss, “I’d give anything for us to be back at my room. I want to be inside you so bad it hurts.” He kissed her neck then. “Take care of you. Make you come every way I possibly can.” He kissed down to her collarbone. “Make you say my name over and over again until you are screaming it.” He moved one hand from underneath her leg long enough to pull down the left side of her bikini top and immediately suck her hardened nipple into his mouth.
“Holy shit, Dean,” she cried as she threw her head back in pleasure. “Just fuck me here please,” she begged. He looked up at her, his pupils blown wide with lust, his perfect mouth wrapped around that swollen bud, and gently nipped it in response. She moaned louder and squeezed him even tighter with her strong legs, but somehow he forced himself to stop. He brushed his lips across hers again and then pulled away just enough to break the connection and pant, “That’s the most tempting offer I’ve had in a good, long time sweetheart, but I’m gonna turn you down. I can already tell you that you deserve better than this. I want to take my time with you. Kiss…lick…taste every inch of your body before I bury myself in you. Sound like a deal?”
She was still breathing heavily as she replied, “Well hell yeah, it’s a deal. I mean as long as you guarantee to live up to your promise to last longer than fifteen seconds.” Y/N unlocked her legs from his hips, slid down his body and attempted to put herself back together after the hottest make-session of her life.
“Hell I don’t know. That was just the warmup, and I’m about ready to blow. This is going to be the worst case of blue balls in the history of blue balls,” he admitted as he resituated himself.
She chuckled and took a few steps back towards the street before looking over her shoulder at him with a wicked gleam in her eyes. “Bless your little pea picking heart,” she called mockingly before she took off into the night towards Fido’s.
“Yeah you go ahead and bless it, darlin',” he grumbled to himself before starting after her. “It’s already fucking yours anyway.”

May 2017 ⋅ Not so fresh
Tumblr media
Lonely - SISTAR
 Why does this keep happening?! Can girl groups stop releasing amazing songs that are THEIR LAST EVER BECAUSE THEY ARE DISBANDING?
youtube
AL1 - SEVENTEEN
Forgive me, God of k-pop, for I have sinned. I said I wanted dark Seventeen and another Highlight, but now that I have it I really don’t want it at all.
I will preface everything I’m about to say by reiterating that Seventeen are probably my favourite third generation group and that I like Don’t Wanna Cry and the mini album in general.
However, the truth is my expectations were too high and I was disappointed by this comeback. As much as I love Woozi, Don’t Wanna Cry is the most unoriginal thing he’s ever produced. It isn’t just that it sounds like a Chainsmokers song: some parts are almost identical to Closer, and not in a good way, if there even is a good way to be Chainsmokers copycats.
The more I listen to the song, the more I like it and I love how Seventeen made it theirs, but this doesn’t change that this song doesn’t feel remotely as unique and personal as their previous releases.
I’m still mostly ok with Seventeen moving away from their bubbly, cute image, but not if it means rounding down to the blandest, trendiest thing they can come up with. This is pretty much the same complaint I had about Winner’s Really Really: it annoys me that a group with a specific identity would abandon it to go as generic as possible.
What made the comeback bearable for me is how beautiful and elegant their live performances are: it’s always hard to make thirteen people look good on a tiny stage, but with this choreography Seventeen have really outdone themselves. I don’t know if I’m more in love with Woozi’s, Joshua’s or Jeonghan’s solo moments, not to mention The8 starting his section with a somersault because why not. A good thing - even though not especially to my taste, obviously - is the rest of the album goes well with Don’t Wanna Cry, rather than being jarringly different and going back to “old” Seventeen. The performance team delivers a banger as usual with Swimming Fool, and for once the vocal team’s song Habit is a lovely powerballad (instead of being the most boring song in the album).
It’s not coincidental that the “American” sound of the song came with a video filmed around Los Angeles. I’m not sure where they got the idea of going the minimalistic, tumblr aesthetic route with their video and the performance styling. It’s not my favourite, but I don’t hate it either: it matches the song concept and it isn’t an insult to the human eye.
Overall this is a good comeback, but it’s hardly what I wanted from Seventeen: I find myself missing the pastels and the happiness, which is what made me like them in the first place. On the other hand, I guess I’ve seen worse rebranding (see iKON) and at least it’s clear how it makes sense for them to change direction. I’ll keep my hopes up for the repackaging.
youtube
New Kids: Begin - iKON
Now for something I really, really, really hated: iKON’s so-called rebranding. New Kids: Begin is their first comeback after a year and a half of touring and postponing. As the “new kids” suggests, this release should signal a change in direction for iKON or, as their promotional material said, a “new beginning” and “new style”.
I couldn’t imagine what a new style for iKON would look like and ...it doesn’t. It’s not a new era at all. They look and sound like an uninspired, inferior version of what they did in Rhythm Ta and Anthem. They’re doing exactly what they were doing before, but they’re not doing it well.
Both title tracks, Bling Bling and B-Day, are on the nonsensical bravado banger side of iKON’s repertoire.
Even after trying to make myself like it, I really detest Bling Bling. The instrumentals are ok for the first minute, but after that things get way too repetitive and boring, especially because entire song is rapped (or sing-rapped) and the singers get no space to add some texture to it. It could have been a better song, but it was over for me the moment I heard Junhoe being autotuned out of existence.
youtube
B-Day has a lot of YG’s recent material mixed in: it has the atmosphere of Bobby’s Holup, and the trippy melody of Big Bang’s Bae Bae and Fxxk It. It’s a much more interesting and captivating song than Bling Bling, which is why, obviously, it won’t be the promoted track.
The “bling bling” theme feels incredibly out of fashion; every time they say “champagne” I shudder. The big shiny cars feel far from anything that iKON would do - just think of the beat-up they were driving in Dumb & Dumber.
This kind of concept only worked when they looked like idiots playing dress-up. Even Bobby, who is the clear inspiration for the concept (last year’s Holup! music video is B-Day and Bling Bling), seems slightly uncomfortable with the part he’s been given. The other members don’t get to show off their vocal skills in the best cases, and seem on the verge of walking out in the worst. The videos are awkward, and the live performances are a secondhand embarrassment extravaganza.
youtube
YG didn’t even try to hide the fact that they’re trying to make iKON into the new Big Bang; the issue is that Big Bang did the crazy bangers with cryptic, super-high-budget videos when they were eight years into their career and not at their sophomore release.
It makes no sense for YG to rebrand them as this high-rolling, pseudo hip-hoppy group when so much of their success depended on how they mixed genres and looked like your average silly classmate, which is why the goofier parts of both videos work so well.
I can hardly find something that works well in this comeback. The songs are mediocre, the styling and concept are abysmal, the rebranding is ridiculous. The members that aren’t the two rappers basically disappear in the background (not that this is B.I or Bobby’s fault, to be clear). As much as I love them, they are mediocre dancers: I am baffled that they would focus their comeback campaign on the fact that “hey, they’re dancing now!” when literally nobody asked them to, and they did perfectly well without choreos being a predominant part of their image.
This is supposedly the beginning of a series of 2017 iKON comebacks, and I have a terrible feeling about them if this is the road that they’re taking.
I also want to mention how idiotic I found the fact that, a year and a half after debut, the members of iKON got new “English-sounding” names when everyone had already learned the Korean ones. I will never in my life call Jinhwan “Jay” or Yunhyung “Song”. NEVER.
199X - TRIPLE H
I’ll start by saying that the video for Triple H’s debut 365 Fresh is all sorts of no-no and comes with the biggest trigger warning I think I’ve ever issued for a k-pop video. It’s ironic that the only part I found refreshing (spoiler: it’s the threesome!) was the one that caused a stir and not, say, the sexual assault, the attempted suicide or all the other things that were glamourized when they really shouldn’t.
Anyway. If Triple H is another attempt from Cube to save whatever is left of the company, I will gladly take it. I’ve loved Hyuna for a long time, even through all of her basically-naked performances, and it is well documented that E’Dawn is one of my favourite members of Pentagon ...and I guess I don’t hate Hui.
365 Fresh hardly has anything fresh about it: it sounds almost exactly like Bruno Mars’ 24k Magic, and even that was not exactly original material. The good thing is that, even if it’s something we’ve all heard before a million times, it doesn’t lose its earworm power in this iteration. It’s the perfect summer song, especially in comparison to Hyuna’s summer comeback from last year.
Hui’s voice really manages to balance out Hyuna’s and E’Dawn’s timbres, and overall the balance of singing, rapping and hook-repeating works amazingly well. It was one step away from being too repetitive.
Hyuna’s charisma doesn’t need an introduction, but it’s cool to see Hui and E’Dawn hold their own. It’s especially surprising to see E’Dawn in the role of the beefcake, when that’s the last thing one would think of him seeing him next to the rest of Pentagon (for me he’s always been the one most likely to be involved in a drug scandal, if anything). I love that Hyuna got to wear actual clothes for an entire round of promotions.
It was surprising to me that they wouldn’t just come out with one single, and I thought the rest of the mini-album would be a bore; I was glad to be proven wrong. In just a handful of song, they incorporate a ton of retro references and stay interesting and cohesive throughout. My favourite has to be 80’s-flavour ballad Girl Girl Girl.
youtube
Signal - Twice
 The more I like a Twice song, the more everyone else will hate it, and I ve learned to live with this fact ever since Knock Knock. I’m so delighted that, while they’re still not straying too far from their signature sexy baby concept, Twice managed to pull off such an unusual song.
I don’t remember the last time I’ve heard such a prominent bass line, and I love that the structure of the song is not super-conventional. It’s hard to think that in general they are one of the most traditional girl groups in k-pop (not that that’s a bad thing).
I saw a lot of criticism about the fact that it’s not a vocally complex song (when have Twice ever had virtuoso songs?!) but I would give that up any day for a more equally split song: girls who never got to speak like Sana, Tzuyu and Mina got actual parts and all the others will be just fine.
I’m also happy to see that for once the video has a proper story, rather than being about just them being pretty. I loved the 70’s outfits and the alien storyline, and I thought even the superpowers part was done really quirkily. On the other hand, I was fairly annoyed that JYP had to stick the damn schoolgirl concept in there when it was completely superfluous.
I also love Three Times a Day and Only (which, by the way, was written by Yeeun) from the mini-album.

Rapid fire round
 Cactus - A.C.E.
I know it’s been done before, but whenever a k-pop group goes full 90’s eurodance, it always feels like the first time. I wouldn’t have given A.C.E. a single listen if the song hadn’t been called Cactus - the best title of the year - but I’m so glad I did, even just for their already iconic performances in short shorts.
youtube
  Puppet - Marmello
In a world of cute concepts, I don’t know how successful a girl band will ever be, but I will enjoy it while it lasts. I can’t bring myself to pretend it’s not a super-conventional and predictable song, but I’m so happy to see some girls playing instruments I don’t even care (and yes, I checked, they can actually play them).
youtube
 Shangri-La - VIXX
What an amazing mini album VIXX put out. I haven’t been particularly into them at any point except when they came out with Dynamite, and I don’t think I ever will, but I love every single song on Shangri-La. I’ve been complaining about k-pop really converging on the Chainsmokers/tropical trend, but it really works well mixed with VIXX’s style. Also: THE FAN DANCE.
