Meghan pr released this to New Idea that KC3 wants to visit A & L & will fly to Montecito against Camilla & Ws wishes - #MeghanManifest by u/Ruth_Lily

Meghan pr released this to New Idea that KC3 wants to visit A & L & will fly to Montecito against Camilla & W’s wishes - #MeghanManifest First of all it’s from Tom Quinn, who works for Meghan now, since she doesn’t really have WME anymore.Then she manifested that KC3 is feeling like he’ll just pop over to California as he’s got a month open on his schedule.Meghan actually sort of names herself in this article as the “CALIFORNIA SOURCE” here lol (not really but we know it’s her)But she’s the source for all of itShe says that , I mean the article says that Harry will not visit the UK now. Despite PR releasing that he would visit the UK for months on end, and even pr releasing that he would just SHOW UP to KC3’s place because they won’t be able to say no to him or send him awayas always ty to Gossip-2 on FBhttps://preview.redd.it/qnoi5lrodu9d1.jpg?width=526&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4349bf2e6ff702cbe1a1096d3780efff2449cbfehttps://preview.redd.it/qd6rw4okdu9d1.jpg?width=432&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62aa7782bf3ce8eb980b62380d69923003e03c38 post link: https://ift.tt/IhWwQtg author: Ruth_Lily submitted: July 01, 2024 at 07:20AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

let me tell a story.

I, looking for entertainment, go to chrachter ai. I find this Cross sans. I decide to do it. The story goes like this:

Im some gal who's looking for a friend, my OC Quinn, and I meet Cross. He tells me that there was a cosmic something that messed with a bunch of people's memories and emotions, and that Quinn had something to do with it. He takes me to another planet, The Void. I find Quinn. (The ai is controlling her not me) I help her remember who I am, and she becomes my girlfriend. She then offhandedly mentions her boyfriend and that we were not in a poly relationship. She then spends a lot of time explaining how it worked to Cross, and groaning about another OC that ditched the relationship. Then ws all go back on the ship to leave. Then Cross, out of nowhere, asks her if she loves Oliver more than him. At this point I'm kinda forgotten.

Thats as far as I got before I left. Wtf happened there???

Stuart knew how to take a hint. She didn't want him prying into her business, that much was obvious, and maybe she didn't feel like talking to him altogether. And he wasn't anyone's dog either; he wouldn't chase or follow at every command—but Rosa's invitation wasn't just out of courtesy. So, take the hint he did and he chased her like a dog. “It wasn't... Rosa, I didn't mean it as an insult, you know that, right? Well, maybe to her—” His face made an involuntary twitch of expression, a Wybie's grimace, for less than a second before he immediately backpedaled in fear of Rosa's wrath. “Kidding! Just kidding, I promise. Okay, let's hurry before I say something stupid. Being me is really hard. It's like having a bomb countdown on your mouth at all times.” At least Stuart was good at counteracting his own flaws. So was Rosa, with her brusque attitude, like she didn't care about a single thing in the world, but cared a lot more than she'd ever give herself credit for. Sometimes he couldn't help but think that she didn't give herself credit at all and how nice it would be if she could see herself through his eyes, see that she didn't need to settle for anything or anyone. But they weren't quite there yet, maybe they would never be. It was like she was always a little out of reach, a silhouette coming in and out of a dark fog; whether she was angry with him or grief-stricken, she was nothing but memories, some good, some bad, but never a tangible moment. Now that she'd brought Valentina as her date, Stuart wasn't entirely sure if there was ever room for him in her life, not even as just a friend. She was the passing ship to his lighthouse. “Mm,” humming around the rim of his now empty shot glass, he turned his attention back on her, gripping her shoulder with a gloved hand. One night. Surely, they could do at least one night without any false pretenses or murder. “Shall I give you the grand tour of the museum? Not that I'm qualified, but I know a bunch of random trivia and I won the storytelling contest in third grade. Just a bit of a-uuuh-humble brag.” Stuart puffed out his chest and wrapped an arm around Rosa's shoulder, leaning in far too close for comfort to the point of directly breathing down her ear. “For starters, that statue?” Once it was pointed out with a finger, he lowered his voice to a whisper, an unsettling harmony of seduction and tone of a true crime podcast. “That's actually a real person from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Just, y'know, kinda yassified a bit.”

Heaving a sigh, Rosa could already tell what angle their conversation was going the moment Stuart complied with her request. It was like he couldn’t help it, insult paired with his quick shuffle to a stand. It’s not like Rosa could blame him or get rightfully mad, Val left an impression and it wasn’t always a good one. But Rosa was also disastrously out of her mind - with grief, from drinking, from the Ambien finally kicking in. She was being swept away by the sea-side tide that was the mush of her brain, and focusing on a single point was the only way she could function, so she pin-point zoomed in on what she could only assume was judgement radiating off of Stuart. “Don’t.” Was all she simply said, crossing her arms and wrapping her hands tightly around her elbows - effectively cocooning herself in her own grasp from protection. Still keeping her eye out because even though they weren’t giggling and pseudo-flirting anymore, it could be just as damning for Stuart if Valentina saw them arguing. But his question snapped her back to attention, brows rising slightly. She knew how it looked, coming with Val to this event. It was amongst one of the many things Rosa couldn’t bother to care about anymore, but for some reason it struck a chord now - Stuart just seemed so disappointed, and it’d hurt. All Rosa could do now was be annoyed with herself for being so affected. “Y’know, that’s not really your business. And saying ‘don’t get mad’ doesn’t really do anything when you ask insulting questions like that - I need a shot. You can come with if you want.” She sighed, brushing past Stuart dismissively, but desperately hoping he’d join her. Even though she was mad, and nervous he’d pry further into the subject, she’d missed him so much her heart panged then, at the thought that this might be it and the conversation would be over.

[quinnhayden]

we've seen both bucky and quinn as the soldier and fenrir but what if it was steve instead that was the winter soldier or captain winter or whatever the fuck they would call him cause you know they would be using his old title to fuck with him but anyway steve falls of the train and bucky puts the plane in the water and later quinn is taken by hydra and becomes fenrir and i am super curious as to what fenrir and steve winter soldier would be like together. or even seeing all three of them

So, I was diving through the inbox and saw this and for some reason got really super inspired?

On Halloween, it’s her. He knew it would be. The man that his team expects she’ll assassinate has women and children locked up in his basement that he plans to sell at an auction once this masquerade ball is over. So, this is personal to her. She’s alone, but he didn’t expect them both to show up. His brain understands that it’s a tactical decision—one is arrested, kidnapped, or killed then the other can continue on with their work. His stupid, lovesick heart wants to believe it’s a desperate attempt to keep distance between themselves and him. He knows some warm memories come back to them when he’s around. Put them all three in the same room? He wants to think it’d make them crack and cave. It’d make them come home with him and that scares them. They want to be wild and free and he threatens that with his promise of domesticity.

There are old stories that he’d heard back in the war. About werewolves that could be cured and turned back into a human. All that needed to be done was to have someone the werewolf trusted and loved whisper their true name. Fuck, he wishes that was true, but those stories don’t talk about what to do if the werewolf doesn’t remember who they used to be. That still doesn’t stop him. Sometimes, all he can ever do is scream their names. He still loves them both. He’ll do whatever he can to make them remember.

When she makes her appearance, the irony of her costume isn’t lost on him. The maroon corset pushes her breasts up and her lips are painted the exact same shade. The hooded cape is, too, and it has velvet material. Rather than the skirt he’s seen other women wear, she’s in black leather pants and boots. Doesn’t make the costume any less of a hot little number, but now it’s more practical should all hell break loose. And it will now that she’s here.

Because it isn’t Little Red Riding Hood that stands in front of him. Here, she’s a hunter. These are the missions where she thrives, he knows. She touches his chest and slides her hands up to his shoulders. When she smiles up at him, it’s sharp. No wonder she’s called Fenrir. She’s the Big Bad Wolf. A predator in sheep’s clothing. But, oh, does she try to play up the innocent act. There’s a little wooden basket in her hand that she pulls something out of. Then, she holds it up between them and sweetly asks, “Apple?”

“Poisoned apples are a different fairytale, sweetheart,” he tells her over the music.

And his back is pressed to the bar. She brackets him in with her arms as she places the apple and her little basket on the bar behind him. But she doesn’t move away. “Aw, I’d never poison you. Just wouldn’t be as much fun without you around.” She wraps her hands around the leather straps of his uniform and pulls him close to her. “Oh, I didn’t wish you a happy Halloween. Why don’t you find a quiet room where I can let you have a treat?”

“And leave you alone to play your tricks?”

“Why do you even bother to pretend you’re here for anyone but me?” Jesus, she’s always made his knees weak when she leans in the way she does now. Hovers her lips over his. “Or that you wouldn’t let me do exactly what I want? All I have to do is say that I haven’t been able to do what I want almost seventy years and you would let me burn the whole world down.”

“Baby, I’d hold the match.” He would. God help him, he would.

That coy and playful smile disappears. She presses her thumb to the dimple in his chin and stares into his eyes. “They really should’ve left you in the ice,” she mourns almost to herself. “My beautiful boy, this world’s too mean for someone with a heart like yours.” Isn’t that a kick in the balls? Because that’s what he’d think about her, back in the war. Good woman like her never should’ve been thrown in war. But then he went and crashed a plane and left her behind to be swallowed up by the nastiest parts of the world. “And look where you’re at now. You’ve taken monsters to bed.”

“You’re not monsters.”

“We are,” she croons. As quick as the emotions came, she’s back to the superficial sensuality. “Because I plan to kill all the men who plan to show at the auction and I’ll love every second. I’ll make them howl. I’ll tear them to pieces and write on the walls with their blood to make all the people like them scared. They’ll have a slow, extremely painful death and that makes me happy. We don’t take orders anymore. Now, we kill because we like it.”

“And all those women and kids locked up, what about them? You plan to let them rot inside their cells?” Her lips purse and she doesn’t answer. She doesn’t need to. “No. You won’t even wait on my team. You think I don’t know about the little network you two have set up to help victims? You two do the same work I do, but you’re as brutal with the bastards as I wish I could be. I wish I could drop this all and come with you two. I want to watch them burn, too.”

She leans in to nip at his earlobe. “I love when you talk dirty to me.” Her cheek presses to his. “I’ve never had beard burn before. And I’d be so much happier to kill them all with your come inside me. Want to help me out with that?”

Why the hell does she even bother to ask anymore?

One second she’s there and then she disappears the next. He suspects she does it so on the off-chance that someone clocks him, he won’t be seen with her. Sometimes, he thinks she cares more about his reputation than he does. The world would lose their shit to see him with an ex-Soviet assassin turned mercenary. He could care less.

Like a lovesick pup, he follows after her. She never makes it hard. A door is cracked open on an upper floor and he sneaks inside the emptied office. She’s sprawled back on the leather couch and smirks at him, pleased as punch. As he locks the door behind him, he notices some drawers are open to the desk on the other side of the room. Papers strewn across the floor. It’ll probably be information about the people who host the auction, will attend it, and all their known associates. A head-start for his team, but she and her partner are always one step ahead of them. It’s a courtesy. An excuse. Natasha and Sam tend to not ask questions when he’s not empty-handed.

“Y’know, here lately, you look real tense in all the pictures I see of you, Cap,” she drawls in the southern accent that makes his heart ache. “Why don’t you c’mon over here, huh? I know how to help you relax.” She spreads her legs, a blatant invitation, and pops the button of her pants.

And he shouldn’t because the more he does this with them both, the more he falls back in love with them. No doubt, they’re all on the road to ruin and his heart will end up broken, but he’ll ride this out. They’ve always been his addiction. He tried, before he knew they were alive, to sleep around in hopes he could…could feel more than the ice and the pain and the loneliness. It never worked. Man or woman, he couldn’t even get it up. They’re it. They’re the ones for him.

Before he knows it, he’s down on his knees between her parted thighs. He rubs his cheek against her inner thigh, nipping at her soft, pale skin. He takes a deep breath and his eyes almost roll back in his head. He hasn’t seen her in months. Been even longer since he tasted her. “Fuck, it’s true. You canbe cruel. To make me go all this time without tasting this sweet pussy.” She starts to chuckle breathlessly, but it morphs into a quiet sigh at the first press of his mouth on her. “I missed your cunt, y’know that?” She fists his hair and moans quietly. “Come home with me. I’ll spend the rest of my days between your legs.”

“Well, isn’t that a pretty offer.” She tilts her head back and her eyes flutter shut. He licks into her and she finally unclasps the front of her corset. He knows she plans to touch herself, but he reaches up before she has the chance. “Fuck,” she whispers as he rolls a nipple between metal fingers. “Oh, that mouth of yours makes me want to climb in bed with you and never leave,” she gasps. “You make me want to do a lot of things I shouldn’t.”

He slides back up her body and presses his mouth to hers. They kiss while he fumbles to get his dick out. Her hands slide over his and she helps him, uncharacteristically patient. Something changed in her after that confession. Her kisses and her touches are charged with emotion now. He touches his forehead to hers as he slides inside her. It’s burning hot here. Hotter than she ever was in the war. He tucks his face in the crook of her neck and rolls his hips. The keen she replies with and the way she reaches down to dig her fingers into his ass spurs him on.

“Моя луна,” she whispers like a prayer. She runs one hand through his hair and has the other wrapped around his shoulders. His pelvis is rubbing on her right. Her legs are shaking and each hot breath near his ear pitches higher and higher. “Я мечтаю о тебе каждую ночь. Я вою только для тебя. Я тебя хочу. Я не имею права. Волки вечно гоняются за луной.” Then, her body clenches up and she’s coming.

It doesn’t take long for him to follow after her. As he spills inside her, he breathes out, “Quinn.” He leans back so he can stare her in the eyes. He cups her cheek and his heart is in his throat. “Stay with me. Please.” Fear is in her eyes. The first time he’s ever seen it this side of the century. Is she scared because she wants it? It’s so close. She’s so close. “Quinn, baby doll, please don’t leave this time. Come back with me. Make my place a home.”

Quinn doesn’t stay and the kiss she leaves him with tastes like a goodbye, or so she tries to convince herself. But Bucky knows the next time he sees her, she’ll stay.

—

Once upon a time, a heartbroken woman had been lured into the deep, dark woods. Lured by a mindless beast that wore the face of her soulmate. The bastards that took her soulmate wanted to take her, too. They had reasoned she could be the fair maiden to soothe the rabid animal they’d turned her soulmate into. That woman she used to be…she was swallowed up in the darkness. And the darkness won, but her captors sure as hell didn’t. They had no idea. Didn’t know that there are wolves. There are stories about wolves and girls. Girls in red, all alone in the woods, about to get eaten up. Dumb assholes didn’t stop to think that wolves and girls both have sharp teeth.

—

Different person, but the story ends the exact same.

There’s no one in his hotel room when Bucky walks inside, but when he comes out of the bathroom after a shower, Steve is there. Propped back against the headboard. This time, he doesn’t even bother to talk. Just slides off the mattress, pulls his shirt up over his head, and moves into Bucky’s space to furiously kiss him.

So, here Bucky is, on his back. Bottom lip between his teeth as Steve looms above him. Sinuously rolling his hips and Bucky doesn’t think he can get any deeper inside Steve, but goddamn does Steve try. Steve hunches over, touches his cheek against Bucky’s, and Bucky usually takes that as the go-ahead to bend his knees and put his back into it. That doesn’t happen this time, though.

Steve loosely wraps a hand around Bucky’s throat. “You have some nerve, Barnes,” he husks into Bucky’s ear. “To make her cry the way you did. To think you can take her away from me.” Steve squeezes, only a little, only a threat. The danger that suddenly radiates from Steve should not turn Bucky on. “I’ve killed men for less. For simply looking at her. You’re lucky that you fuck me so good. I’d miss your cock too much if I slit your throat here.”

Bucky’s the definition of dumb fuck. The last thing he should do is stoke Steve’s fiery temper. “Jealous, baby boy? You scared she’ll wizen up and take me up on my offer? God forbid she not want her hands bloody anymore.”

Steve chuckles and it’s low and dark and sends sparks up Bucky’s spine. “Do you reallythink that’s my problem? Do you think I don’t want her to have peace? No, you’rethe problem. You—” he catches Bucky by the chin and squeezes so hard Bucky thinks his jaw may break. “You can’t protect her,” he whispers into Bucky’s mouth. “I didn’t have a choice when I went down. You did. You left her all alone, Buck.” Jesus Christ, his boy’s always known how to make it hurt. “I’mthe one who protected her all these years. I have the scars on my back to prove it.” He kisses Bucky, gasping because he’s about to come. “You don’t deserve to have that shield.”

It’s fucked up that that’s the moment Bucky comes. And Steve’s always been hot for having a load inside him as much as their girl, so streaks of white are coating their stomachs the next second. “Fuck, Steve, I know. Don’t I fuckin’ know it.”

Wolfie Watches: Pride Edition

So today my friend wanted to watch a movie with me, so we settled on Birds of Prey.  Before you say anything about “but that isn’t a queer movie” um excuse me every person in this movie gives off MASSIVE queer energy in their roles so idk what you’re talking about.  Also, Harley is Bi and Renee is a lesbian.  Huntress has massive lesbian energy, Canary is giving me big lesbian/bi vibes, and they didn’t even try to be REMOTELY subtle about the fact Zsasz and Black Mask were fucking. Anyway, I LOVED this movie.  Honestly might beat out Aquaman and Wonder Woman for my Favorite DC movie.  The fight scenes were SO good, Harley has such a wonderful way of moving and fighting, especially with the bat.  It really reminds me of someone that’s got a mixture of street fighting, acrobatics and pro wrestling for their fight style, like a demented fighting game character and I’m here for it. Love woman getting revenge on the men that hurt them, like *chef’s kiss*  And when Harley walked into that fucking Deli and glitter gunned the fuck out of those pork sandwiches???  Queen behavior right there. 

I do wish we’d got more from Renee, she felt less developed despite having a largeish role in the plot, but the rest of the characters were all great.  Hoping Cassandra gets some more backstory if they do another movie along with Canary.  The poc rep, the queer rep, the female empowerment, ooh, this movie really went off.  I see why the straight white boys hated this movie. Ngl I’m still not over how fucking LOVINGLY and SEDUCTIVELY that egg sandwich was shot, that was CINEMA baby.  And Brucie the Hyena?  Havent’ stanned a Hyena since they fucking ate Scar at the end of Lion King but I’m about to start.

Anyway, this movie was the epitome of that “I do it for the girls and the gays that’s it” lyric and I for one am here for that.  Also the amount of times I, a gay man said “wow I’m gay for Harley Quinn” despite that making zero sense?  Iconic.

series masterlist

The jet speeds off to an unknown location. FRIDAY is left in charge, of course. Everyone else either sits at the sides or is preparing for when you land. You get up from your seat and walk to the middle of the jet, where Tony, Steve and Nat are all looking at a hologram of some sort of concrete building.

“Hydra base.” Nat states.

“We’ve gained intel to a specific experiment they’ve got going on. They’ve been trying to recreate more of the supersoldier serum. We can’t let that happen.” Steve informs you, in his patriotic, ‘I’m Captain America’ voice he likes to use.

“Right.”

“Fury’s informed us that they may be closer to recreating it than we thought. He’s picked up some new radiation that’s coming from this building.” Your gaze falls from Steve back down to the hologram. With a flick of his fingers it spins, giving you a 360 view of the place. The sight makes you feel uneasy, in a way unknown to the team.

“If you haven’t guessed already, our job is to get rid of whoever and whatever is causing this.” Tony adds. “We take out the bad guys, steal their shit, and boom. Avengers win.”

“Always so serious.” Nat jokes. You smile at her and head to the weapons area, grabbing a few knives and a handgun, and slotting them into various places on your suit. Bucky is also there, picking a few similar knives but a much larger gun.

“This is your first mission, right?” He asks, not even glancing at you. You think for a moment, not quite sure how to answer.

“Yeah. It’s my first.”

“Don’t sweat it. We’ll be in and out in no time. It usually goes according to plan.” He finally looks at you, smirking, and gives you a wink as he walks away, leaving you with more conflicting feelings.

“5 minutes to landing.” FRIDAY announces.

“We’ll head down now to scope out the area.” Rhodey says. The back of the jet opens and he heads off in his War Machine suit, followed by Sam, followed by Tony using his nanotech and jumping out before he’s fully suited.

“Looks like you’re rubbing off on him.” You hear Bucky say to Steve.

The jet lands in the clearing of a nearby forest, leaving the rest of you to venture through it to the base, undetected under the cover of the night.

“Ready?” Steve asks as you head out.

“So ready.” You reply.

You, Nat, Steve and Bucky all head through the trees and it’s not long before you reach the large, grey building. As you approach the facility, you would have guessed it was abandoned by now if it wasn’t for what Fury had reported.

“Emily, we’ll head through the front and you boys can go around the back.” Nat orders.

“Yes ma’am.” Steve salutes her with a smirk and you head off in your different directions.

You and Nat find a small side door where the front of the building is and to your surprise, it’s unlocked. Both of your guns are up at the ready as you sneak down the eerie corridor. Only dim ceiling lights cast any glow amidst the darkness, the kind that are always flickering in horror movies. You come up to a split in the corridor and push Nat up against the wall with you when you sense an unwanted presence.

You close your eyes, concentrating on the way this person is moving. Though the footsteps are inaudible, you can feel it: the vibrations through the floor, of a male, walking with the rhythm of a robot. Patrolling the grounds. The vibrations get stronger as he nears. When he reaches the corner is when you pounce, catching him in a headlock and choking him silently unconscious, until he falls limp in your arms. You snap his neck. One swift motion and you lay him down on the ground, letting the logo on his uniform get to you more than it should have.

“Damn, Quinn, you sure have some surprising moves up your sleeve, don’t you?” Nat comments, stepping over the agent’s body. “A force to be reckoned with.”

“Buck, come on.” Steve picks up a jog as the pair head through from the opposite side of the premises, but Bucky is still looking over his shoulder every 2 seconds.

“Sorry.” He mumbles, and picks up his pace to match Steve’s.

They head further into the maze and, after taking out a few HYDRA heads, they find themselves in a corridor with a single door on the left hand side, reading ‘WS room 1’

“Winter Soldier.” Bucky speaks softly. “That’s what it stands for. Winter Soldier.” He takes a stammered breath. “This is one of the places they tortured me.”

Steve pays his friend a sympathetic glance. Bucky halfheartedly smiles but resolves to staring at the floor. He walks up to the door and takes a look through the small square window. Through it, there’s a small room, encased by glass, with computers and other equipment as such. Ready to make notes. Observations. Beyond that is a larger room with a stand consisting of various panels and buttons and a lever, which is attached to the large-framed chair beside it. The mere sight of it causes Bucky’s skin to crawl with the pain of the past. It almost makes him jump when Steve places a hand on his shoulder, signalling the time to head off again.

“Uh, guys, you might wanna check this out.” Tony’s voice crackles through the coms. “Get to where I am right the fuck now.”

You and Nat start running down the halls now, checking Tony’s location using the new tracking device he installed into everyone’s suits. Taking out numerous faceless HYDRA agents on the way, you make it to a door, a huge metal door, where two agents lay dead either side. Bucky and Steve arrive just as you do.

Steve opens the door.

With a loud creak, a blue glow emits from within the room, and standing in the middle is Tony, surrounded by viles and viles and bottles and machines. Paperwork is piled up messily throughout the place. You all head inside, slowly making your way around, taking notice of all the colours in various glass beakers, tubes and containers, some smoking, some not. Glancing at all the scribbles on the paper scattered around, and on the walls, it’s clear that this is the testing room for their serum. And by the look of the fridge in the corner, filled with bright blue viles, they succeeded.

“Wait, have they already figured it out?” Steve questions.

“No!” Bucky slams his fist on the table, angered by the despairing truth.

“They did it. They actually did it. And God knows how long they’ve had this. For all we know, there could be dozens of newly created supersoldiers walking among us.” Tony says, taking out a vile and holding it up to the light. You take a sharp inhale and turn away from the rest of the group, suddenly feeling light-headed. As you focus your breath and lean against the workspace, you also focus on the paperwork in front of you. It’s a file. Your soul leaves your body as you stare at the black folder, a blood red HYDRA logo stamped to the front. Underneath, some writing:

‘CONFIDENTIAL - SS test subjects 1-12’

SS. Supersoldier.

You hesitantly open it. Nameless faces are enclosed, reduced to nothing but numbers. All have red stamps over their files, labelling ‘FAILED’ in red. Every one is the same; a face, a name, ‘FAILED’.

Until you reach number 12.

You slam the file shut and jolt back upright.

“Emily? You okay?” Nat asks. You spin to face everyone, who now looks slightly concerned by your sudden outburst. You release the breath you were holding in.

“Yeah. Sorry. Seeing this just makes me so angry, you know? How they just want to create monsters with this stuff. No matter the cost.”

“Tell me about it.” Bucky comments. Everyone gets back to what they were doing before.

You sigh in relief, as if you were expecting them not to believe you. You discreetly slide page 9 out of the folder and fold it up small enough to fit into a pocket in your suit.

“This seems too easy.” Bucky says, as he looks over a page of scribbled formulae. You all gather round and look through what seems to be the final renditions of their recreated serum. As you read through, trying to make sense of the cacography, an overwhelming sense washes over you. You shut your eyes, trying to focus the feeling, pinpoint the source of it.

“Guys,” You open your eyes wide. “we need to get out of here. Right now. It’s everywhere. Let’s go, come on!” You yell at everyone as you feel the heat rise beneath you. You run, and the others follow. Nat grabs a load of HYDRA’s work, taking whatever looks important enough, and heads out with the rest of you.

You make it out of the building and keep running towards the forest. Rhodey and Sam meet you from where they were on lookout outside.

“Get down!” You shout, and everyone covers.

The facility is blown to smithereens, the sound of it erupting through the dawn’s serenity. Bright orange fills the sky, melting into the sunrise.

“Let’s get the hell out of here.” Sam urges, to which everyone gets up and heads back, exhausted, to the quinjet.

You let yourself fall onto a seat, leaning your head back against the wall and releasing a long-awaited breath.

“Thank God we have you on our team, Quinn, otherwise we would have been barbecued.”

“Glad to be here, Stark.” You manage to push yourself up, gathering with everyone around the table, where the team is examining what Nat managed to pick up. You scan what’s in front, and your heart falters.

“Where did you get that?”

“Grabbed it on the way out.” She replies. “Looked important.”

“Well, yeah, files with huge capitals that say ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ usually are.” Sam remarks.

You’re tense the whole flight back, biting your nails and lip as you all go through the papers. And when you land, you’re the first one off the jet.

“How did it go?” Wanda asks when you’re back in the compound.

“You want the good news or bad news first?” Tony pours himself a drink.

“Tony, it’s like 7AM.” Steve states.

“Well done, Cap. You can tell the time.” Tony carries on pouring and takes a large swig, holding his glass up to Steve as he swallows.

You rush to your room in silence before anyone starts recounting the mission and passing round that file.

You shut and lock your door, sliding down it and letting your face fall into your hands. You reach for the piece of paper you took and unfold it. You can hardly bear to look at it, feeling sick to your stomach. You barely recognise yourself.

~~~

“Did they all make it out?”

“Unfortunately.”

“And her?”

“She’s with them now.”

“We will have her back. She can’t hide from us. Number 12 will be back with us soon.”

“but the Ryan's ego gossip was just more juicy overall.” SPILL THE TEA!

It's pretty much out that Tim Miller left due to creative difference with Ryan, to be fair to Ryan though he is the whole reason Deadpool was greenlit anyway. But it did come to a point where it almost felt like starring Ryan Reynolds, Directed by Ryan Reynolds, Produced by Ryan Reynolds, Edited by Ryan Reynolds, Screenplay by Ryan Reynolds, featuring Ryan Reynolds. Harley Quinn and Birds of Prey but more intense. Basically Fox gave him all the power and with them siding entirely with him over Tim gave him the idea how much of this is in his power. It came to a point other writers stopped suggesting too much in case it clashes with Ryan's vision. They wanted more about the X-Force but it ended more as a comic relief but this was where major creative difference between Ryan and the writers had. David Leitch wasn't running the show in as much as he directed the action. Ryan definitely was no director/showrunner but he tried to control the writing and directing that the main players basically had to step back a bit and just adjust. This was in contrast to the first Deadpool where every single one of them were in it together. In the end my friend didn't even know who's right and wrong in all this. Obviously Ryan was the most important person in all this as he's a major reason for the success of the film. But then he was a major factor in why the film was not as polished as the first and why nobody knew the future of the franchise after the film, even if we don't factor Disney buying Fox. Of course right now Deadpool 3 is in development though, but now they wonder if Ryan knows Kevin is the one running the show.

WS anon any tea on Taylor and Karlie? I just want to know what happened there for the sake of JLaw

If you must know how difficult it is to get anything about Taylor. But I guess the prevailing gossip is Karlie sharing info to Scooter and another is the so-called party in Taylor's NY home that Karlie threw and Taylor didn't know about. And no romantic kaylor isn't real.

On the flip side those who hear more about Karlie's side will say Taylor's controlling nature even with her friends was a factor. Considering Karlie does network with the Kardashians, Katy Perry, managed by Scooter, and overall independence from Taylor's controlling nature was the factor.

WS anon any tea on Taylor in general? LMAO everything we know of TS and I know that's a lot is very controlled either by her or the narrative that's been push by the media since forever now. Is there anything we never could've guessed?

Pre-1989 Taylor there were still gossip you can hear from people around her. Such as Taylor Lautner was supposed to be more PR but he seemed to take it too seriously. Also doesn't matter if you're her stylist or have to do a shoot with her, she will never go around nude. You need to make sure there's a proper changing room and her team will make sure there's no hidden camera.

1989 Taylor and onwards her team is incredibly silent. I did hear from my dad's colleague (also works in finance and manages celeb business portfolios) that a lot of investors doesn't like working with Taylor is because she's incredibly controlling and doesn't give them reign on a matter that she's not an expert on. He also said Taylor tried to do other business ventures but they never see the light of day because of how she wants to micromanage every detail. Either way seems like she mastered the music business now so I'll say she's fine.

"3. Apparently he hooks up with a lot of co-stars." is it rumors that people hear on set? And yeah the Skarsgård family in general seem very secretive

Like Jessie said it's a pretty well-known rumor. But I was told the Taylor/Alexander thing didn't really amount to anything but maybe a dinner date.

We THANK YOU for your service!

I believe all the Taylor and Karlie tea you spilled here, and I think majority of Switifes could have guessed most of it already

Top 10 Sealab 2021 Episodes (Comission)

Happy 2021 Everyone! After an utterly AWFUL fucking year, it’s nice to be in a brand new year with brand new possiblities, new projects you’ll see soon, finsihing the old.. and all that good stuff. And good friend of the blog and only patron and contributer kev had a great suggestion to comission to kick off the year. Since it’s 2021 it’s only fair ot honor one of the very first adult swim shows, one taking place in the same year and still one of it’s funniest and fucking weirdest, and as we’ve seen that threshold is vast: Sealab 2021 Sealab was created by the wonder twins of Adam Reed and Matt Thomspon, and if those names sound familiar.. that’s because their the guys who created Frisky Dingo, a cult classic i’ll defintely have to write about someday soon, and more famously and in Matt’s case still to this day, Archer. Yup, after adult swim jerking them around lead to the closing of their initial studio, the two moved to FX and here they are. So yeah this is where the roots of a lot of archers workplace shenanigans and petty dickery come from.  But even ignoring what it’d lead to, Sealab on it’s own is pretty damn good and holds up pretty well. Some jokes.. have not aged well, especially the treatment of Debbie as the villiage bicycle, but on the whole most of the humor is just really funny, really weird and really insane and I still love it after this revisit even if some episodes didn’t hold up so good, most of them held up good or even better than I remembered.  The show was THE first abriged series, taking bits of old forgotten and seemingl really damn boring hannah barbara show sealab 2021, and using the footage to tell the tale of a bunch of assholes, weirdos and what have you running an underwater research station.. and being so bad at it or getting into such other insane bollocks it often blew up. Continuity was loose, jokes were the priority, and dialouge was key since the animation was not great in any way shape or form, but the cheapness was enough of a charm and improved enough with time that it didn’t really matter. The show was good and set the bar for adult swim shows for better or worse alongside other greats like Home Movies, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and others. It also had a unique cast of mostly small time actors, and bafflingly one respected news pundit as local asshole idiot head Stormy, and broadway legend Henry Goz as series MVP Captain Murphy. It was good, it was part of my childhood and teen years, and I love it so. I bought the dvds, quoted it decently and will again now Kev’s brought my fire for the series back.  So naturally for a series like this since regular reviews just don’t.. work on something this insane sometimes, i’m instead counting down my top. 10 . episodes. Yes top 10 lists are comissionable, 5 bucks a pop. As long as I know the series well enough i’d be glad to and here I ws more than honored to. I also uped my game this time and rewatched every cantidate and thus I feel this may be one of my best lists yet. So without further adeu... grab your grizzlbees oninon burst , your bebop cola and your pitcher of whale cancer. this is the top 10 episodes of sealab 2021!

10. Tinfins  This one’s a classsic just for it’s uniquness, taking the piss out of glitzy and vapid hollywood insider shows and their annoying hosts, while also being delightfully weird, from mocking the show’s own animation by having detailed cgi used to map the limited animation, to Erik Estrada’s interview where his fictional self is clearly having none of toni and is also clearly getting wasted, to the utter bizzarity of Kid N Play being the films directors.. it’s just a good time. 

But what REALLY makes the episode are two things: The first is a series of increasingly bizzare commericals for Grizzlebees, a fictional restraunt that would become a staple of the show: From a simple commerical showing off their onion bursts, to their kids meals with tonic water, to Henry Goz’s utterly bizzare farm based commerical for it, to finally a commerical about depression being okay because grizzlebee delivers that’s pitch black as it is utterly hilarious, it’s just one hit after the other.  The crown jewel of the episode of course is the trailer ofr tinfins itself, which is insane and includes great bit after great bit, the best being the titular mecha shark cutting the power “How the hell can it cut the power? It’s a shark. “ Holy Crap indeed. 

9. In the Closet A bottle episode, which Sealab really excelled at and not the last on this list by a mile, as the show’s key was it’s dialouge the episode had a simple premise it quickly managed to have make some pretty insane turns. Marco, played by the glorious Eric Estrada and Muprhy, played by the late and very game Harry Goz, have been trapped in the suply closet for a few days, with Muprhy, being muprhy, having already married a bucket who has a history as a “Hookermop” named wendy. Soon other sealabians get caught inside too, and it results in plenty of hilarious gags, From muprhy sucker punching the hell out of everyone, to Sparks panicking under claustrophiba, to the repair guy getting sucker punched and no one caring much about his well being. This one lives off of Muprhy as while the others are good, Goz as he usually did during his time on this earh and on this series before his untimely passing, steals the whole damn show, and the ending, where it turns out Muprhy adopted and starved a bunch of fighting dogs, is a nice twist on everything. And the punchilne to it is utterly fantastic “It could be worse” “How in the hell could it possibly worse?!” “We could be out there.. with Stormy”. 

8. The Legend of Baggy Pants Speaking of Bottle Episodes and Captain Murphy being awesome.... this one narrowly beat out the episode it’s a spirtual sequel too, the classsic all that jazz, but this one is easily better. Like that one it’s a bottle episode that’s almost entirely just Captain Muprhy on some sort of shenanigan, with only abit of other cast, in this case Hesh, Eggers, and an unfortunate phone operator. In this case the premise is simple, kind of nuts, and utterly hilarious and utterly captian murphy: Captain Muprhy is having a round of Golf in Sealab, which is weird but fits the character but what ratchets it up to funny is apparently this underwater research station, for no reason, has a pro shop. So after loosing his last ball in a reactor, and sending poor hesh in to get it leading to the advent of the glorious Monster Hesh, Muprhy spends the entire episode tooling around in his “Muprh Mobile” trying to find the pro shop. As a result it’s basically 11 glorious minutes of Harry Goz going absolutely mental as muprhy, and it is as great as that sounds. From Muprhy’s sudden hatred of pod 6, to his bullying of Eggers, a hapless sealabian he runs into and then tries to run over, his bullying of dolphin boy and then trying to run him over, to his compuance as eggers steals his stuff and then his muprh mobile, it’s just glorious riffing from one of the best in the buisness and Harry is still deeply fucking missed by yours truly. RIP you magificent stalion. 

7. Cavemen One of the series final episodes, and easily one of it’s best. While the later Seasons get some flack. While season 3 is a bit weak,a s Goz’ tragic passing left them stumbling, Season 4/5... it’s complicated, is REALLY damn good and has some of the series finest episodes which many probably never saw. Case in point, Cavemen.  Cavemen is another spirtual sequel this time to lost in time, which also didn’t make the list, but this one is also better. Like LIT, it focuses on one of the series best dynamics: Brainy super scientest and often only sane man Dr. Quinn and all around idiot, moron and bane of everyone’s existance, Stormy, played by Brett Butler and Ellis Henican, both of who nail the two and this episode. The two are trapped in a cave after Stormy’s stupidity blew up sealab, and his trail of dead rabbits lead a shark to him and quinn. The result is a TON of great back and forth as Stormy tries to make Quinn see him as his best friend, Quinn rightfully shouts at Stormy for... everything, and Stormy tries to show off some ancient cave painting she himself made, that quinn quickly figures out because he left his paint around, and shows that off in a very clever gag I can’t convey correctly here. We also get knife fights and Quinn beating stormy over the head with a dead rabbit, an da surprisingly solem ending where the two hold hands as they die before heading up to heaven for a happy and weird ending. Overall an episode that’s really hard to dive into as it’s just relaly damn good and all in the performances, gags and pacing, as it’s done entirely in real time. Easily worth a watch. 

6. Shrabster Another great late season episode and another really experimental one. This one’s told from back to front, then we’re given the ending. It ends up working really well as it not only jacks up interest but the story itself is great. Asj it ends up turning out over the episode Dr. Quinn’s created the solution to world hunger: The shrabster, a hybrid of crab, shrimp and lobster. Grizzlebees, naturally wants it and after finding out Sparks didn’t actually own the rights, have Shanks, muprhy’s replacement, try and steal it, only for him to fall in love with the creature and spirit it away to give it a better life.. before shooting it in the end and eating it himself. We also get some good runners as Sparks starts speaking in slang and gets his neck rightfully snapped for it by Quinn, Stormy keeps eating shellfish despite being allergic, and we get the glory that is dan and don, two grizzlebees reperceives played by reed and thompson who are just an utter delight. I also ALMOST forgot the fucking announcer whose just fucking hilaroius the whole damn time with his various segways. 

5. HappyCake An early classic and damn worthy with a simple, batshit premise, which as should be clear by now was Sealab’s Bread and Butter. Muprhy’s happycake oven has been stolen, so he sends Stormy (who knows about the captain’s bedwetting and thus must be silenced) Quinn and a fishman out to find it in the ocean. Turns out it’s Sparks, in a character defining episode, fault as he’s working on world domination, and thus is working on driving murphy insane and thus stole it. He and marco discuss Marco becoming his henchman and getting metal teeth, Muprhy goes nuts, it’s a damn good time. Also a lot of talk of Michael Cain so that’s always a plus now I know who he is. And of course it has one of the series best lines period “Pudding can’t help the void inside” but it’ll help. Only this low because i’ts a bit structually messy compared to what’s to come and given it beat out two really damn good structurally episodes for this slot, that should say something. 

4. Hail Squishface! No best of list would be complete without this one. Once again the show banks itself on a simple premise: Captain Muprhy buys a white blob, a gloop, from a vendor and gives it liquor and gremlins style his little buddy multiplies and he soon gives them out to the crew. Everyon’es on board except Quinn.. whos naturally proven right ot be suspicious as the gloops methane output will doom them all and only muprhy, whose gone insane and is wearing squishface like a fez as you’d expect, wants them alive leading to what you’d expect: a flamethrower battle between muprhy and the crew with murphy decked out like a transformer.  This one’s just endlessly creative, from the various glooptransformations to the finale to the gags, i’ts just great. The fart gags are also.. actually pretty funny, which given i’m not a fart gag guy most of the ttime, speaks to how well executed they are and use the gags of htem being fart machines. Also we get muprhy in a fez and that alone cements it as top 5 matieral.. but as for the top 3. 

3. Moby Sick

Our last late season entry and the third to last episode of the show ever, this is top 3 for a reason, even above a classic like Hail Squishface. This one just has so many insane jokes packed in I forget quite a few despite them all being pretty damn great.  The premise is dour: A whale named Avalard shows up in Sealab wanting to die, as he has whale cancer. Stormy recognizes him as the star of the show “Gotta Have that Dick”, even saying “I gotta have that dick!”.. which of course they have a loop of ellis saying in the credits he correctly assumes will haunt him for the rest of his days. And if a whale starring in a cheesy 90′s tgif sitcom wasn’t enough we get the best gag of the episode as Marco eats some of avalard’s whale cancer leading to an insnae kool aid style add

And of course Marco later puts on a Mayor F Whale outfit and eats the cancer.. and his way out of avalard. But before that we get fights over wether the whale should die or not, including the guy on the pro whale side stabbing him, Debby’s rambling nosense and Shanks, who first builds a wooden whale to put his brain in .. that promptly sinks “and all my puppies were in there!” and then goes on a far right pundit show and gets into a giant robot phsyical challenge.. which frankly we need more of. Tucker Carlson would be .0001 percent more tolerbale if he were getting his ass kicked in a gundam is what i’m saying. 

2. Feast of Alvis I’ll be brief here, which in an article where i’m already trying to be brief says a lot but since I JUST covered this one a few weeks ago for my best holiday special lists: Feast of Alvis is, like most of sealab, deeply creative, deeply batshit and deply fun as Muprhy pushes his violent frontier version of jesus on everyone, with predicably great results. I watch it every year for damn good reason, it has some of the series best gags, including “Cram a penny o nthere” And great satire about the supposed “War on christmas”. I’m only being so breif as I said pretty much all I had to say last time. Exxcept this: Adam Reed is a DAMN talented voice actor both as virjay (though in hindishgt he REALLY shoudln’t of been playing a hindu man, especially since otherwise the series actually cast poc), and in various rolls and kills it as alvis here. So what could top one of my faviorites? Wellll.

1. Chickmate Another early one and as should be clear the best. It incapsulates the series the best, has the funniest jokes packed into it’s 11 minutes and in general is just an outstanding episode that throughly defined the cast and their rolls and chemistry.  Debbie’s biological clock is ticking and she wants to have a baby, and after mothering a dolphin dosen’t help decides one of the sealab men will be the father and auditions them. It goes as well as you’d expect: Muprhy thought she’d become his mommy, and not in a kinky way, Sparks provides one of the series best gags by giving her a modest proposal by jonathan twist and giving us the utter black comedy joy of him describing “ribs dripping off the bone”, Stormy’s tape gets interrupted by Hesh who clasically screams “Hesh wants some sex”, Marco freaks her out with his muscles and quinn seems sucessful before ultimately botching it and Debbie decides none of htem are worth it. We also get stormy’s untieontally racist and throughly stupid use of the term “Black debbie” to describe the other debbie, which he gets rightfully called out on. We also get this exchange as a result Quinn: What if everyone started calling you white stormy? Stormy: You mean there’s a .. black stormy Quinn: (Beat to take in the stupidity) no. 

It’s funny, it’s clever, and it’s just damn fun. Easily the series best outing and the reason it became what it became. And overall.. the series is just really good. it’s on HBO Max if your curious, and if you haven’t vistied that lab underneath the sea. maybe i’ts time to. Goodbye, Goodbye, goodbye for now, until then.. play us out marco and debbie.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent ----> Amends AE

Alex realised her eyeliner had been smeared slightly under her eyes, as she took a glance into the mirror after she’d gotten home. She’d been on the verge of tears a couple of times today but she actually had thought she’d been able to hold them back. Obviously, this wasn’t the case. She’d wondered how long she’d been running around like this. She took a soft pad out of the space behind her bathroom mirror and cleared both her eyes from makeup residue. Her eyes were left red and swollen from the makeup remover that'd run into them. Her eyes burned like fire, and water gathered to extinguish it until it ran over her lower lid and traced down her cheeks. What good did this day do, Alex asked herself as she involuntarily recapitulated the past day in her head. She’d solved the murder of her husband, well Bobby did, but Alex neither felt joy nor relieve. She had already found someone guilty for her husbands murder years ago and although she knew an innocent man had been behind bars for eight years, and that wasn’t right, she just couldn’t get herself to feel at ease. Her husband, a great man and a good cop, was still dead. So was her best friends husband and nothing would ever change that. Then, could she even call her her best friend if they only saw each other twice in ten years for their husbands funerals. Seeing Theresa Quinn like that in the hospital three days ago, helplessly staring at her with empty eyes, put her right back there into that same position. Joe had been dead for eight years now, and she had made her peace with it, but she still couldn’t believe the unfairness of it all. A knock on the door startled her, tearing her out of her thoughts. She focused again on the puffy-eyed, tear-stained reflection staring back at her from the mirror. A woman with more lines on her face than eight years ago but with the same pain in her eyes. She threw an old cardigan over her strappy top, clutching her fingers around the oversized sleeves. At the second knock she got herself to move towards the front door of her apartment. She checked the peephole out of habit, but later realised she didn’t even look who was out front. She pulled the door open as if it was a reflex, only to identify Bobby’s figure standing lonesome in the mild night air. „Hey I … uh … brought dinner, I thought you might be hungry? Uh… Or want company?“ Bobby shyly held a brown takeout bag in his hands, moving a step away from Alex’ door. She forced a weak smile onto her face and stepped away from the doorway. Bobby followed her invitation and entered the apartment. “I hope … uh …Chinese is fine!“ Bobby asked awkwardly putting the takeout bag down on her living room table. “Of course, thank you.“ Alex replied, her voice horse and silent. She settled herself down on the couch leaving room for Bobby to settle next to her. He reached her a Chinese noodle box and two chop sticks then got some for himself before finally placing himself next to her. While he gulped down one piece of Noodles with vegetables and chicken after the other he stole glances over to Alex. More and more he found her stirring aimlessly in her food. His eyes kept lingering on her as he realised she didn’t notice. His look swayed over her make up-less face, revealing the heavy bags under her eyes. He imagined it came from day’s of insomnia and restlessness. He carefully observed the tiny veins making her eyes appear a light red. Her lashes were still clinging together from being wet. “So ��� Delgado has been released, he’s back home with his family ’is what they told me…“ Bobby tried to engage. Alex just sighed in response not averting her eyes off her food. “I’m sorry I stirred everything up again with digging back into Joe’s case.“ Bobby apologised, setting his food box down on the table “It had to be done … I guess.“ Alex muttered, still poking in her food rather than eating. After a while she put her dinner on the table as Bobby had done. “Why don’t I feel better, Bobby?“ She finally looked up meeting his eyes. Her lips had curled into a barely visible line and Bobby could sense her clench her teeth as not to burst into tears in front of him. “I know..“ Bobby began, but he soon realised he couldn’t find words to explain. “I’m glad Delgado had gotten out, he didn’t deserve jail … but does Mani? He’s a doctor now, he saves lives, what good is he behind bars?“ Alex voice broke as she tried to convey her feelings to her partner. “It’s justice. It’s just how it works…“ Bobby reasoned. “But is it? It doesn’t bring Joe back and it doesn’t bring Quinn back either…“ she wiped an escaping tear off her cheek with her sleeve. “All theses years I had someone to hate. I thought I’d known the circumstances in which my husband had died… in cold blood by a lowlife drug dealer. Now? A confused kid that had turned into a valuable asset to society is put behind bars for shooting someone who was only reaching for his shield.“ Alex wasn’t able to keep up with the wiping as the tears now streamed down her cheeks like small rivers. “He died grabbing his shield, Bobby. He wanted to protect the boy and he paid with his life how is that fair?“ She sobbed trying to make sense of it all. Bobby watched her crouched on the couch next to him hugging her legs shaking from head to toe. He’d never actually seen his partner like that, heartbroken and upset. Bobby wasn’t good at comforting people. He could reason with them, try to explain, try with words to ease their mind, but this second he found him self incapable. Not one sentence formed in his head that proved itself worthy to be spit out. Alex was right. There was no fairness here, no justice, there was nothing left to explain or reason with. He found himself unable to soothe her in a way he knew he could, but he also couldn’t just watch her suffer like she did. He’d played it over in his head several times before finally taking up the courage to reach over to her, putting his arms on her shoulder to show her he was there. Just three days ago Bobby himself had been crouched on the floor of his apartment, hugging his legs much like Alex did now. He’d been on leave for almost two weeks, alone with his thoughts, alone with his struggles. The numb and apathetical feeling that had overtaken him had left him powerless and sad. It was only when Alex had called that he’d picked himself up from the floor and got going again. Working cases with Alex was the only real reason he could think of to get out of bed in the morning. She’d saved him so many times, now it ws his turn. He squeezed her shoulder slightly, as his long arm reached around her. Before he even knew it he felt her slip into his arms entirely, burying her face in his chest. His arms naturally wrapped themselves around her pulling her closer as if that’s what they’d been destined to do. He knew there was nothing he could say to make her feel better, but apparently sometimes words weren’t needed.
