#word of honor episode 32

[sirenofthegreenbanks]

after the fallout of wen kexing‘s “death” in episode 32:

zhou zishu grieving & speedrunning his own destruction

for @cryptidafter !!! <3

what it says on the tin! zhou zishu‘s response to the loss of his zhiji is immediate self-destruction, but before that, he has a lot he got on his chest

oggle it directly on youtube | (original song) I Am The Only One — Ursine Vulpine & Annaca

featuring: sitting around on a rock at the place your zhiji was driven to his death, talking loudly but nobody is listening, internal turmoil and emotional rawness without your usual reserve, heavy drinking. i invite everyone to suffer with me

(thumbnails and some personal process thoughts under the cut)

working on this was unexpectedly difficult. zzs‘s grief is so raw here (zhang zhehan plays him so well!) and that reminded me of my own grief that ive been carrying around with me without finding a way to put it down. imo i lost altogether too many loved ones in my life, i have barely digested any of it. working on this edit inspired me to sit with my own feelings but it also threw me back into a depressive hole. i was unable to look at this edit without getting nauseous, which made the revision process very hard. im glad i was done with most of the editing by that time, which is the result u see here today. its not satisfying to me but i cant look at it anymore

cryptid, you mentioned zzs‘s wish to have comforted wkx more, his regret that he didnt get to before wkx died. my original edit focuses on that, though i meant to really hammer it out in the revisions. unfortunately i didnt make it that far but i hope it still ends up inspiring you! <3

THEY BETTER BRING BACK MY MORALLY GRAY CINNAMON ROLL WEN KEXING BACK OR ISTFG I'LL MOPE FOR DAYS

[photogirl894]

Hello, bestie!! I want to congratulate you on 1300 followers. You deserve every one of them for your wonderful personality, writing, and vibes. And I'm also incredibly happy and honored to be among those 1300, thank you for being my friend ❤️

Now, for the ask! I love all of your prompts and I'm going to go with something fluffy with - surprise surprise - Crosshair!! With a female reader, if you please, could you maybe write 27. "You look so handsome" from the fluff prompts and 32. A kiss on the wrist from the physical affection prompts?

Can't wait to see what you write, and congrats again!

Thank you so much, Moon, for not only your request and congratulations, but for also being my friend, as well 💜I treasure our friendship very much!

Oh wow, Crosshair! I'm so surprised 😜 I expected nothing less and I am more than delighted to do this for you! I think you're really gonna like this 😉😏

We're gonna live a bit in denial with this one (while we can...) and just say Tech is alive and safe with the Batch, along with, well, a few other things😅

**Spoiler alert for the newest TBB episode, season 3 episode 11**

"A Wish in the Stars"

27. "You look so handsome."

32. A kiss on the wrist

Pairing: Crosshair x fem reader

***

It had been a year since you and the Bad Batch had settled down for good on Pabu.

A year since you all had successfully thwarted the Empire's operations on Mount Tantiss and ensured that you would never be found by them again by faking your deaths on Tantiss. With the Empire thinking all of you were dead, they would never come looking for you again, which left you and the Clones to live your lives in peace.

You all had returned to Pabu and helped rebuild everything that the Empire had destroyed. Within months, things on the island began to return to normal and all of you felt like you were truly home.

Truly free.

With this newfound freedom, Crosshair did the one thing you had always dreamed he would do; something you thought would only ever remain a wish in the stars for the longest time:

He asked you to marry him.

Naturally, you said "yes"...or rather, you cried out the word with joy over a dozen times.

The following months of wedding planning were both stressful and joyous at the same time. Omega was ecstatic at the thought of seeing you in a lovely white gown. Wrecker was more excited about all the delicious food that would be at the reception. Tech and Echo took it upon themselves to essentially be your "wedding planners" to ensure everything got done and taken care of. Hunter acted as more emotional support for you through it all and you had also asked him to be the one to walk you down the aisle at your wedding, which he was more than honored to do for you. You just knew your wedding day was going to be more than perfect.

The day arrived and you had just finished putting on your gown: a lovely floor-length, white dress with lacey sleeves and shoulders that had silk flowers sewn into the skirts. You wore a flower crown in your curled hair that Omega and Lyanna had both so lovingly created for you. You looked at yourself in front of a mirror, taking in the image of yourself in that moment. Seeing yourself looking like a bride was almost too good to be true. You had dreamt of this day for forever and now, it was finally happening...you were finally going to marry Crosshair, the love of your life.

"Wow...!"

Just then, you heard the voice of your beloved behind you and you saw him appear in the reflection of the mirror. He was gazing at you with eyes wide with amazement and love and you couldn't help but smile.

You whipped around and playfully scolded him, "Don't you know it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding? You need to go!"

He grinned and strode towards you. "Haven't you learned by now that I'm not good at following orders?" he asked you.

You chuckled back, choosing to throw tradition out the window. "I suppose that's true."

Then you looked him over once, taking in the rare sight before you. Crosshair was in much more formal attire that you weren't used to seeing him in: a nice, dark green shirt with a cream-colored, button-up vest, dark pants and boots. You had a feeling Shep and probably Hunter had played a part in figuring out his wedding wear and you were more than pleased with what you saw.

"You look so handsome," you complimented him.

He got a slightly uncomfortable look, not liking the attention, but he still grinned shyly and said, "Thanks." Then his gaze softened once he looked back at you, taking in your radiance in the Pabu sunlight coming in through the window, and he remarked in awe, "And you...you look...I...I can't even find the words to describe how breathtaking you are."

"Thank you," you said with a huge smile as he gently pulled you to him by the waist. You placed a hand on his cheek and gazed up into his entrancing brown eyes. "With everything we went through, everything we fought against...I never thought this day would come."

"I know," he said, nuzzling your hand.

"I always thought us getting married and finally settling down somewhere would just be a wish in the stars, forever floating through time and space, never to be granted," you admitted.

Crosshair then reached up to caress your cheek. "Well...at least one star must have fallen then because that wish will come true today." Then he took your hand that was on his cheek and pressed his lips reverently to your wrist, letting them linger for a moment against your warm skin. His sweet, intimate gesture sent a pleasant shock down your arm and through your whole body. Then he turned his gaze back to you and asked with a tiny, teasing grin, "Are you sure you don't want to rethink this? You know I am severe and unyielding, as Tech says."

"You being severe and unyielding is what got us to this point to begin with," you told him. "You refused to give up. Not on fighting the Empire, on our squad, on yourself...and not on us." You raised your other hand to his other cheek and smiled lovingly at him. "Therefore, I will never stop fighting for the man who fought so hard for me. I'm not letting go of you for anything in this galaxy."

Having given that affirmation that you weren't rethinking anything about being with him, you kissed Crosshair sweetly and he wrapped his arms around you, bringing you as close to him as you could possibly get.

When you pulled away, he breathed out in a whisper, "I love you so much."

That brought a happy tear to your eye. Crosshair would say he loved you, but he seldom said it first. This day truly was a day for new beginnings.

"I love you, too," you said back.

"I don't know how or why you ever chose me...but I thank whatever entity brought me to you every day," he said. "You're the best thing that ever happened to me and I promise to make you happy for the rest of--"

Your finger over his lips silenced him as you told him, still smiling, "Save that for the altar, darling."

In reply, he said nothing and simply smiled back at you.

Then you gave him a light nudge. "Now, you'd better go. The ceremony will start soon and Hunter will be coming to make sure I'm ready. You need to leave before he catches you."

Crosshair snickered. "I'd like to see him try," he said, tightening his grip around your waist. Then he gave you a tender kiss on the forehead, released his hold on you and went to walk away. However, he stopped just short of the door and looked back at you once more with the most adoring smile you'd ever seen on him. Then he stated before he left, "I'll see you at the altar...my bride."

Labor of love

I was very interested to see what S told Mark Gillespie on the last episode of the latter's WhiskyCast podcast, @bat-cat-reader immediately shared with us.

It was a most instructive 35 minutes. I listened to all of it, because I wanted to also hear Gillespie's tasting notes forThe Sassenach. And I regret nothing: once you get past the traditional (and a bit obnoxious) 'why The Sassenach?' question, you're in for some interesting news.

You can listen to it here, by the way:

Before anything, who is Mark Gillespie?

One of the most respected professionals in the very small world of alcohol specialized podcasters, with a 37 years work experience in media and broadcasting, spanning household names such as CNN, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Gallup and MSNBC. But also, and this I found very interesting, given the current context, the owner of CaskMedia, a firm specialized not only in media production, but also marketing and PR.

The podcast was recorded at The Metropolitan Club's library, moments before the Keepers of the Quaich dinner, where S was a keynote speaker. So not 'just there for the Haggis Ceremony ' - a 'guest of honor' is never invited just for the show, people should have known better, eh?

S's 7 minutes interview starts at the 09:32 mark. Comments in brackets are mine.

Gillespie surely doesn't like to beat around the bush and after the customary niceties, asks a million-dollar question:

MG: 'I have to ask: did you have the troubles (problems?) in Germany straightened up?'

SH: ' Ha, ha, ha [not an organic giggle, but hey - gotta do what you gotta do, eh?]. Well, I am not entirely sure I should talk about it [speaks very quickly and through his teeth - visibly annoyed/nervous; not entirely sure I got it all correctly, so feel free to amend in comments], ah... ummm... not as yet... not as yet...ummm...we did fall into an issue with the name Sassenach, which was similar to a big brand in the US... ah!... in Germany, sorry... of a beer brand... I...I personally don't see the similarity [neither do I, S...neither do I], but I am sure once people taste our whisky, they'll know what it is, whatever the name is on it.'

Yes, this interview was probably rehearsed. Yes, Gillespie might have sent the questions to S/his people in advance for reviewing. No, he could not speak about a legally complicated situation before the final settlement with that Schoppingen beer brewer (penalties are probably still to be fixed and paid, but I will check that, so don't take my word for Gospel truth, yet). I will write separately about this whole thing, because I still think that was a very questionable decision of the EUIPO. Not because it royally pisses me off (so fucking unfair!), but because I really fail to see the proper legal reasoning and basis for it. His answer was perfect, under the circumstances. Absolutely perfect.

Anyways, FWIW, it would seem some sort of solution has already been found ('whatever the name is on it') and that most probably would be to rebrand it. And sell it on the German/EU market under a new name.

Lallybroch (https://trademarks.justia.com/981/67/lallybroch-98167525.html), perhaps? Time will tell, but that could explain this recent trademark application I didn't have time to properly look into, yet:

Further ahead (and fast forward through the cask version release, these things bore me to death), we land on another (as yet) unexploded ordnance:

MG: 'I have to mention your show MIK that you do with Graham McTavish, you visited a bunch of distilleries during that one... any visit in particular stands out?'

Now I am not very sure if that question was the best possible one, since that SAG-AFTRA strike is still an ongoing situation. And his answer was quite clever, changing the focus on their visit to Laphroaig's distillery on Islay and waxing lyrical about the casks, the peat, the landscape, etc. But other than a perfunctory and logical 'we', I heard absolutely nothing about McTavish, and it could have been so damn easy to further change the subject and mention his bourbon, with a few kind words. Therefore, I think things are pretty obviously not exactly on the sunny side, between the two. And I guess we all know why.

To end this long post on a cheerful note, I almost forgot to mention something very important. Answering a listener's question about Sassenach not being available in Rhode Island/part of New Jersey, S said something very interesting: 'obviously you can get it online, (...) we've just signed a deal with Southern Glazer's, so we're rolling it out. It is a limited batch, so you know, every year we do do a release and it is very limited, so it does tend to sell out pretty quick. But yes, it is available (...), but obviously you're not gonna see it in every bar, restaurant or retailer, because we just don't have enough of it. But online you can get it and great delivery service, it's very quick.'

I am taking two things home from this last answer: demand exceeds supply, which is both a blessing (solid yield, room for expansion) and a curse (lackadaisical market presence). On short to mid term, distribution will concentrate on the online market, with the help of Southern Glazer's superb infrastructure.

Remember the older guy he had lunch with in MIA, in May? You should, if you didn't focus on Mordor's inept babble about shirts, ballerinas and the like. That guy was instrumental into arranging the deal with Southern Glazer's. Just the biggest wine and spirits distributor on the US market, mind you.

Don't believe me? Check this out:

That company was founded in Florida. Its HQ is still in MIA. He didn't go there because he was looking for ballerinas at his birthday dinner. He went there because when these people are available to meet you, well: you leave everything aside and you damn GO.

Now who the hell is writing fanfiction, eh? You really should be ashamed, madam.

I rest my case.

~sword glare~

Anyways I just want to say one of my least favorite things in cdramas thusfar is the plot armor/plot nerf. wkx and zzs both down from one singular blow? for a guy they've fought a few times? ((the wens eradicating all of lotus pier with ZERO casualties on their side?? im still salty)) anyways they definitely could have lasted longer.

ZZS going for the 'i'm not mad, i'm disappointed" route. Fatherhood has agreed with him

gremlin wkx and zzs is doing that dramatic sigh like he hates it except he absolutely does not

[im-out-of-it]

season 1, episode 11 continued

25. this is cutting towards Alec asking Magnus for help.

26. Magnus: you literally told me you’re getting married alec and here you are asking for help. whatever, I’ll do it 😭 FUCKING HELL HE IS SO FINE HERE

27. “it’s not about me or any of THAT (you mean you having an attraction to Magnus, alec) but it’s about my sister”

28. “are you referring to how your adorable fiancé is having Isabelle on trial for treason?”- ok Magnus is here to help but he needs to sort his mood out on Alec first 😭

29. but also can we talk about how this must make Magnus feel? it’s not Alec’s fault if he isn’t ready but Magnus just started opening his heart after centuries and he is basically just getting hurt all over again. no one is at fault here. Alec isn’t trying to hurt Magnus and Magnus understands that Alec is a traditional man who is trying to save his family’s honor

30. honestly funny how shadowhunters were so prejudiced (I mean it’s not but) against downworlders they would never have dreamed of a shadowhunter asking a downworlder for help. I just love how Magnus says this 💀

31. Magnus: you may be getting married but I have one more flirtation left in me

32. also Magnus makes literally everyone pay so heavily for his services but anytime alec needs his help, he’s like well it’s free of course. the only time Magnus didn’t want to help Alec was when he was “Magnus” (YALL know if you’ve seen the show)

33. Magnus at it with his flirting once more 🔥

34. Alec: I’m straight I’m straight I’m straight I can marry Lydia I can do this all I have to do it not look at Magnus that long and think of him and I will be fine (Alec’s internalized thoughts probably)

35. Magnus is like how the fuck did that not work? I’m clearly telling Alexander I like him but he’s just?????? he’s denying me again?????? in this attire?????

36. Magnus: fine. can’t say I didn’t try 🥹 “what else is important to you? what else tells me that your sister means enough for you to make a real sacrifice? oh I know” 😌

37. honestly though, give Magnus the A at least. he’s out here trying. he’s never getting angry with Alec for not being ready (cough cough book Magnus) and he’s never making Alec feel ashamed or that he has to come out (cough cough book Magnus) which I admire. this is why I’m glad they didn’t start “secretly dating” before they got together. I like this mouse and cat game a lot better. (and yes, I like the wedding scene alot better because it’s better than not even having a pov in the books and having it like one sentence. the wedding scene will always be more iconic in my rightful opinion)

38. because 1. you shouldn’t get into a relationship if you’re not ready. 2. Alec clearly has priorities he has to handle. and 3. it’s not fair on magnus if Alec dates him and makes him hide if he’s not ready and it’s not fair on Alec if Magnus makes him feel that he needs to come out

39. so yes, I will always shit on the books because they did Malec dirty

40. there is like one occasion where Magnus gives it one last effort but I don’t think he ever pushes Alec too far. he’s not saying shit like (I don’t remember the exact wording) but you have to come out alec because if you don’t, then you don’t love me and our love isn’t real” or whatever

41. I’m glad the show gave Alec the time and space to decide if he was ready to come out, be with Magnus, and also be with a downworlder

42. because there’s a difference between being a shadowhunter and dating a shadowhunter and dating a downworlder and also dating a vastly powerful warlock who can be a lothario. (Roberts words, not mine)

43. when you’re head of an institute and dating a powerful warlock, you’re obviously going to have issues that come up (cough cough season two)

44. and I’m happy the show was like: let’s give Alec time to decide if he’s ready to do this. but let’s not make him feel that he has to come out

My favorite dramas for a given number of episodes

I was thinking this evening that it's unfair to pit certain dramas against each other bc of episode number advantage. For example, you can't easily compare a kdrama miniseries to a cdrama wuxia epic. The kdrama will win in concise storytelling, but the cdrama has a greater amount of time to win you over to the characters and create a complex plot.

So tonight, I am going to list my favorite drama for every number of episodes (...if I've watched any drama with that number of episodes that I actually liked).

My official list of "you can only compete against your own weight class" favorite dramas is as follows.

6 episodes: Utsukushii Kare

8 episodes: White Christmas

10 episodes: 3 Will Be Free

11 episodes: Liar Game

12 episodes: Circle: Two Worlds Connected

13 episodes: Piece

14 episodes: Under the Microscope

15 episodes: Addicted

16 episodes: My Country: the New Age

17 episodes: To Sir, With Love

18 episodes: A Familiar Stranger

20 episodes: The King's Affection

24 episodes: Mr. Sunshine

29 episodes: League of Nobleman

30 episodes: Rattan

32 episodes: Reunion: Sound of Providence

36 episodes: Word of Honor

40 episodes: Granting You a Dreamlike Life

44 episodes: Handsome Siblings

48 episodes: The Disguiser

49 episodes: Winter Begonia

52 episodes: The Flame's Daughter

54 episodes: Nirvana in Fire

This is actually the funniest way to list favorite dramas bc it leads to shows I liked an average amount (e.g. League of Nobleman) appearing, while EVERY KDRAMA WITH 16 EPISODES is immediately KO'd by My Country the New Age. The number of kdramas is just 5 on here. 3 jdramas, 2 Thai dramas, and then 12 cdramas. Is this a fair competition??? absolutely not.

Anyway, I'd be curious to see anyone else's "you can only compete with your own weight class" drama list tbh.

Don Johnson Filmography - Free Links!

Instead of you spending countless joyful hours trawling the web for grainy old '70s flicks, I did it for you! Here's a list of FREE places to watch DJ's stuff.

This list will be in reverse chronological order as they appear on IMDb. Some are just placeholders until (if) better links can be found, and some are bootlegs from other countries. I'm excluding music videos since those aren't hard to find.

And if you want to skip boring/annoying plot but don't want to miss him, I've made a key:

MC (main character) - much of the story involves his character and he is onscreen often

SC (side character) - only part of the story involves his character, so he's onscreen far less often than other characters

C (cameo) - he's got one or two scenes and they're small, in which case I'll mark his appearances in 0:00:00 format

I'm leaving most content warnings to viewer discretion, but some I don't feel comfortable ignoring. Also, some of the YouTube vids may get taken down at any moment :( If you like something, back it up! I'm using KMPlayer to download my faves, but I've heard you can also use VLC.

>> Links below cut! <<

First, check out my list from Tubi which has the most high quality versions of his work and TV appearances. If it's on Tubi, it won't be on this post!

Home Movie: The Princess Bride - (C, 0:41:30) the entire film is hilarious, especially if you've seen the original; made by a bunch of celebs during quarantine.

Knives Out - (SC) ok, there's no link, but i'm begging you to go buy this movie on DVD it's like $5-$10 tops in stores these days.

Moondance Alexander - (SC, 0:18:20)

Just Legal - (MC, eight episodes)

Word of Honor - (MC) this vid has "helium" audio and other insufferable flaws.

Goodbye Lover - (SC, login req)

In Pursuit of Honor - (MC) WARNING: animal death/abuse

G.I. Joe: The Movie - (SC, voice only, 0:30:35...) spare yourself, skip this movie that he probably did for his kid.

Tales of the Unexpected - (SC; one episode)

Matt Houston - (SC; one episode)

Melanie - (SC)

Soggy Bottom, U.S.A. - (SC; German dub) clips of his character.

Elvis and the Beauty Queen - (MC; Portuguese subtitles)

Revenge of the Stepford Wives - (SC, 0:12:40, 0:25:15...) he has multiple scenes including one at the end, but these movies stress me out.

Beulah Land - (SC) only in part 1, but his character is replaced by a young Jonathan Frakes in part 2. WARNING: non-graphic rape

From Here to Eternity - (C, one episode, 0:07:10, 0:36:00)

The Rebels (MC, two-parts)

Amateur Night at the Dixie Bar and Grill - (SC, 0:13:39...)

First, You Cry - (SC, first scene, 0:24:20, 0:44:20, 0:57:07, 1:15:38, 1:32:16)

Katie: Portrait of a Centerfold - (C, 0:19:48, 0:32:19, 0:44:03...) can't stomach this film to find the rest of his scenes, he's a very minor character.

The American Girls - he's not in this! the main male character is played by the lovely Charles Haid from Hillstreet Blues, but it isn't listed on Haid's IMDb. Also, the character he plays does not go by the name DJ is listed under for that episode, so maybe DJ's in a different one? Regardless, I only found two episodes and DJ is in neither.

Ski Lift to Death - (SC) he shows up in the second video...don't make me watch this.

What Really Happened to the Class of '65? - TV spot w/ the only footage of him that I can find.

Cover Girls - (SC, 0:27:21, 0:40:40, 01:01:15...)

The City - (MC) costarring Mark Hamil

Barnaby Jones - (SC, one episode) I watched this and now it's missing...it sucked anyway. DJ plays an amateur arms dealer with a sickly son, a wife in jail, and a hideous mustache. He loses.

The Streets of San Francisco - (SC, one episode)

Law of the Land - (MC)

Return to Macon County - (MC) login to YT req but there is also a Spanish dub that doesn't req login. costarring Nick Nolte

A Boy and His Dog - (MC) this version has the nude scenes edited out, sign in to YT for the full cut; much higher quality than Tubi. WARNING: rape, etc.

The Rookies - (SC, one episode) costarring Nick Nolte

Kung Fu - making an executive decision here uhhh skip this one

The Harrad Experiment - (MC; two-parter w/ odd in-video ads that you can easily fast forward) WARNING: they all get naked

The Bold Ones: The New Doctors - (MC, one episode)

Lollipops, Roses and Talangka - (SC; some scenes in Tagalog) can't find the 1975 sequel or much information on English sites, but one Filipino fanblog implies the film may no longer exist.

Zachariah (MC)

Endlessly impressed by how much has been preserved and curated over the years. Even if a ton of it was junk, it's nice to save people's hard work and memories :)

Thoughts on The Boys, episodes 2 and 3:

Episode 2:

Huh. Guess I have to watch The Wire.

Will Ferrell? What are you doing here

Guess they couldn’t have Clancy Brown play the coach

He played the coach, right

Oh hey, he’s back!

You don’t know the half of his low point

“sensitivity readers” and how many of those did you hire?

hahahaha

he’s gonna be fun

“braindead maniac” does describe the comic version

Of course

Don’t take anything they give you

Oh, it’s his mom that’s doing that stuff

Far from “wee” Hughie.

wait who’s this guy playing the boyfriend, I feel like I’ve seen him before

Oh he was the original Dove on Titans, that makes sense

she has a speech therapist?

I love her so much

Oh dear

Fuck off, Butcher

Oh no, they’re making a movie about Ryan

“Homeboy” oh no

Anakin too

This man says volumes with his face

again, I love Sage

Ashley changed her look! I forgot when she ditched the bangs

Oh ouch

Do you not know what the word solo means

That’s the exact wrong advice to give him

Is she 32?

oh she’s a decade older. I see.

Is that the right idea?

What are they doing

Ryan is not a good actor

Using the Captain America line, I see.

Yikes.

He’s gonna go on a power trip

Damn, really?

I want Kimiko’s jacket

Nothing like free hotel breakfast

Oh no, these weirdos are flat earthers too?

“Starlight is a lizard person” jesus

not the minion memes

oh they are calling him Dakota Bob

“soldier boy held captive by the CIA” well he’s being held captive by someone

fuck, they’re climate change deniers too?

“soldier boy + liberty= secret lovers?” I mean, maybe

gosh there’s so much here.

“stormfront is alive” the fuck she is

“tinfoil hat wearing nazi motherfuckers” correct!

Kimiko are you okay

you can tell this was filmed in 2022 because that’s the year before last’s baja blast

hahaha these guys believe delaware isn’t real?

“alt-Supe”

How dare you come for Tom Hanks

NO

god, Frenchie doesn’t believe in the moon landing?

Kimiko!

omg I love her

CUE TOM CARDY’S RED FLAGS

Hey!

Yeah, you should go to the hospital

So glad that he didn’t mean that

Thank you, Hughie

Haven’t seen him in a while

Clovergenders?

The political commentary on this show is too real.

Hahaha I love her

So like conspiracy theorist Jubilee.

YES GIRL

A-Train redemption? That would be nice.

Let him have his moment, man.

YIKES

He’s gonna have to work on his restraint

Kimiko are you okay

Firecracker said “fuck the French” I guess

She’s not gonna do it

That’s like 3 references in one

Drown his ass in the chocolate fountain

“Zionist cabal” NO

Goddamn

Run, bitch!

Hughie cheering on his girlfriend I love them so much your honor

oh hey she’s back!

Go off, Hughie

ooooh Kimiko what are you doing

Episode 3

This is not going to go well.

Also look how few Starlight supporters there are compared to the Homelander supporters

Fuck off

“they want to get rid of superheroes” and what do they think Starlight is, then?

What has she actually said?

There are not seven of them.

I do really like those suits

Oh good, Butcher seems to be doing the right thing

SHE’S ANTI-VAX TOO?

gosh, I do kind of hope she doesn’t believe all of this and is just looking up what will cause the most controversy and clicks. Would be funnier if she was a true believer though.

She’s not wrong

He is that petty

“make a sandwich out of her”

Guess we know Starlight says trans rights, good for her

I’m sure he’s gonna try

Just let him go into the basement and see there are no kids in there.

Well, then she’s gonna be out of a job

Love how The Masked Singer hasn’t changed here

Eyyy kimiko’s a hacker good for her

Kimiko and Helena would be great friends

I love Hughie wearing a dolly parton shirt

Maeve didn’t blow a dude

as far as I know

oh this is fun

“dodgy incel” he’s not wrong

Oh, his voice is changing

That’s fuckin’ brutal.

I’m obsessed with her

do I like Ashley now?

She is a girlboss

gosh, this song

Ryan!

It is clearly not nothing

He also helped take down Stormfront

Not wrong on any of those counts

MM is a great character

You two should hide

Oh yikes

Not the best thing to see

Get your head in the game

Oh hey, it’s Nina

Glad Butcher threw those away

Why did she end that sentence with a question if she wasn’t lying

You said she would be fine!

Ashley are you alright

Yes, go after her, queen

What is a dinosaur doing on her poster

Oh damn, Annie as a bully

She is better

Hasn’t she been traumatized enough

Oh no this is very out of date

also how dare they use Maeve’s image for this

OMG THE BOOK OF MORMON GUY

Hughie can chill.

There’s no way the vents are that big

Oh no

Hughie get out of there

“critical supe theory” I think that is just known as the works of Garth Ennis and a few other authors here in the real world, ma’am

Is Stan dead? I can’t remember

How did Homelander know

Hughie’s sweat is going to get him hurt

YIKES

Well they’re not performing that show anytime soon

Yeah, listen to her

You can try

And how would you do that?

why is she watching reality TV

Is he really?

Oh no

Stop talking about how people smell, Homelander

“gave you everything that I ever wanted” oh that was pointed

oh hey mirror Homelander is back

What start?

[nick-nellson]

episode 32 of word of honor i wanna fight you nothing is going the way i want!!!!

[friedwizardwhispers]

You know as a drama watcher only (for now,I will read faraway wonderers at some point), I was surprised by how a lot of people seem to dislike the last few episodes of word of honor ? Because while I think it was rushed a bit (not their faults) especially Chengling's actual reaction to all of the revelations, more Wen Kexing's sadness after Ah Xiang's death and more time for Wen Kexing's plan in episode 31/32, I didn't hate it, I thought it worked well with the rest of the show.

I am however, very sad that Wen Kexing won't be able to cook for Zhou Zishu anymore as immortals.

“You deserve a lot of credit.” Huang You Ming As Ye Bai Yi + Li Dai Kun As Xie Wang. WORD OF HONOR (2021) - Episode 32.

[chaoticnotneutral]

I ghost write professionally and I’ve allowed 32 of my own novels and novellas to sit idle on my desktop. Today I decided, regardless of how I feel about releasing my own work, it was time to begin allowing the first work I started seriously working on 14 years ago to be shared! To say I’m nervous is an understatement.

Even if my writing is hated it means the world to me that it has been read by a few already! I’m so grateful the time was taken by others to take in the creativity I produced. That’s such an honor! So thank you if you’ve already started reading!

I’m using Kindle Vella for this story, releasing chapters/episodes in the form of a serial story. I’ve released 5 episodes so far and of those 5 two have been released for reading by the system. I am writing on many works right now and strive to write 8,000-15,000 words a day. I put my whole heart into these works so anyone sharing in that effort gives my heart so much joy! The first 3 episodes are FREE!
