#I saw this pic and was IMMEDIATELY like ‘that’s a JJ move’

Interceptor (2022) aka Matthew Reilly’s first turn in the director’s chair

Did it feel like a Matthew Reilly film? Yes. Every inch of it. Especially that opening exposition about nuke flight times and interceptors… deffo felt like I was reading a classic MR novel.

Did that mean, as a consequence, some of the dialogue I might forgive in his books felt obscenely clunky in the movie? Also yes. Some of the lines in this just felt so wasteful and delivered so poorly.

Everything about the scenes involving the president and her advisors just was weird and uncomfortable. The line about “half think you’re insane. Half think you’re a rockstar. Luckily I’m in the latter half” and when the President just immediately started making threats to Kessel and cursing him out and not even attempting a diplomatic approach or negotiation was just so left field and unprofessional and just clunky… I wouldn’t have minded the game theorist lines if they’d been trying to like micromanage JJ’s moves and then she finally snapped and had her whole “you haven’t been beaten and shot at. I’m pretty fucking motivated so screw your 14%”… but they kinda were just like “hey we got smart people here. Game theorists. Here to support you gurl!” The 14% would’ve felt way more earned then…

Bc like the whole thing was about her being horribly persecuted for speaking out against sexual assault by a high ranking officer… and other men in the army exploiting old pics of herself… and Kessel’s whole deal was mansplaining the corruption of America and the 1% (as a white male that is part of the 1%)… and if they just piled on to the whole administration trying to control the situation from far away and compiling that annoyance and frustration that she could almost sympathise or at least recognise the validity behind Kessel’s (extremely patronising) monologue… AND THEN STILL DO THE RIGHT THING BY HER COUNTRY… and then finding out dude wasn’t as self-righteous he claimed and was doing it for money and to get rescued… could’ve been v powerful is all I’m saying

All that said, I recognise that this film clearly had a smaller budget, they couldn’t switch between multiple sets and make for more complex scenes and moments in a physical sense so there seemed to be a lot of front loading in trying to keep the focus on JJ…

I really did enjoy this film. Am I critical of it? Yes. But I enjoyed the dynamic between JJ and Kessel. Felt reminiscent of Die Hard, though not as compelling. Maybe a little too much immediate buddy vibes bc it felt like they’d team up rather than be engaged foils that acknowledge each other’s skill and merit but are forced to do battle… like their first convo was a lil too casual considering he merc’d her commanding officer… but they had good banter and back and forth and I appreciated how they tried to read each other’s next moves…

Do I wanna see Matthew Reilly direct more? Yes absolutely. This was clunky but given the parameters he’s working with and it’s his first time directing, I am hoping he can really take from this experience the highs and lows and eventually get himself a Michael Bay budget that he’d always dreamed of… and then just go all out. But his screenplay writing needs a little work. Hit some kinda cliche beats but they only feel cliche bc it’s a movie thoroughly saturated in all of MR’s fave things…

and eventually I wanna see him direct his own Action Thriller adaptation of Ice Station or an Action Adventure of Seven Ancient Wonders… so I’m taking this first venture as a nice stepping stone. A bit of a brain off action movie with a nice straight through line plot…

Also Elsa Pataky and her goddamn arms???? Magnificent. Even with the clunky dialogue I enjoyed her acting. And her fight choreo was great. I wish they’d reduced her husband’s cameos to the one at the start bc it kept taking me out of the film bc all I saw was Thor trying to sell tv’s…

Also also Matt. JJ Collins. JJ Wickham??? Sea Ranger??? Pirate??? Submarine??? The dots are connecting…

Spider-Man Read-Through 035: Stalked By The Spider Slayer (ASM 167-170)

MASTERPOST

In this batch...

Aah, this storyline reaches its climax!

Ross Andru opens this batch with his traditional (and lovely!) building views. Here, Jameson's shooting lasers at Spidey thanks to a suit made by that scientist we've seen a few times.

Well, he's shooting at slides, not at Spidey proper, but that's a detail.

In the meantime, a glowing fireball-shaped human causes a car wreck, but it doesn't matter because we've got some delicious slice of life!

I love the way the team draws eyes in close-ups, it's beautiful. Also, why not? That's a nice plot for May.

Seeing her like that, Peter can't help but wonder... maybe it's time to tell her he's Spider-Man!

His thoughts are interrupted by feeling that someone's watching him. This is, what, the third time he has that feeling now? I wonder what's going on with that plotline!

He asks to be alone, and MJ is comprehensive, and after a quick costume change, he stumbles upon... Jameson in his new robot suit!

Remember that Jameson believes the real Peter Parker is dead, as he saw the pictures that someone took of Spidey getting rid of his clone. He believes our Peter is an imposter, and that's why he was watching him.

Or... maybe not? Jameson simply says that he knew following Peter would lead him to Spidey. Hmm. What's up with that?

Anyway, this is the return of the Spider-Slayer! We already saw that same scenario twice before, as a caption helpfully informs us.

Can't wait to see what's in Jameson's brilliant mind.

MEANWHILE.

My jaw dropped! Time to check back my previous batches because I'm sure I saw that guy...

...Okay, can't find him, but I know it! Maybe it was just under the same role, but he has the most suspicious face to ever feature in this magazine. Is he a hypnotist? I hope he's not doing anything bad to Harry :( Like bringing back his Green Goblin memories...

Later, Spidey surprises Robertson in his car and gets a stern reprimand. It's funny because this is the second time I see a panel on my dash, and read the page not long after! I knew it was coming because I recognized the art style and figured it would come soon.

And it's well-deserved.

So Spidey finally goes to Jameson's office and gets the famous envelope. But before checking at home (gotta build suspense!), he's distracted by our firelight and follows him.

Spidey immediately attacks WOTW even though the latter says he doesn't want to fight, which I suspect was a lack of coordination between the artist and the script because it seems really odd.

There's an envelope quidproquo, then Jameson's remote controlled robot arrives to make the situation even messier.

In the next issue, Jameson is left dissatisfied, while WOTW leaves... literally. Thankfully for JJ, Dr Madison says she'll build a better Spider-Slayer. Oh dear...

Yup. The plot moves forward!

WOTW returns to his creator, Jonas Harrow!!!!!!

Wait, who?

Oh. Okay.

So WOTW and Spidey fight on 5th Avenue! What a fun panel. It's actually nice to see them interact in this decor, feels quite original.

Spidey "we always have a choice"-izes WOTW, who realizes he can't kill Spidey and lurches at the doctor who's in the crowd... and disintegrates, by the baddie's doing, with the simple press of a button.

Time for #169! It's a great cover (check the first pic of this post if you don't believe me).

That's funny, Len Wein, because I was thinking about this run so far and---Sorry, it was too easy.

I wouldn't say Wein's run has been dull so far, but I'm not exactly impressed so far, it seems very... inconsequential. I'll have to see how it evolves (and this batch's intrigue does reel me in!).

Marla Madison is a girlboss, but she can only do so much.

Jameson is kind of over this, though.

You know, I can appreciate what Wein's doing here. He's creating some sort of status quo with those two characters regularly fighting Spidey, a bit like Lex Luthor and Spider-Man, but I can't say I'm particularly attached to this idea.

Meanwhile, the evil (and devilishly hot) doctor returns!

Hm. He's visibly less... intense here. And his thought bubble doesn't show murderous intents. Intriguing.

Just as Peter gets home, someone rings the bell. It's Jameson!

Great fit, Peter. I'm almost tempted to replicate it. "Yes, I'm cosplaying Earth 616 Peter Parker on one page of issue 169, huh-huh!".

That hair grab, though! Is it me, or...? I mean. Some people will see it.

After some prolonged hair grabbing, Jameson surmises Peter's not wearing a mask after all and shows his envelope, that Peter put back in his desk last issue.

What's Peter's explanation?

Oh! Well done, handsome. That's ingenious!

So... Harry's stint as the Green Goblin is public? Wow. Just... wow. That's. Peter... *sigh*

Anyway, he looks so adorable, small-ish then very happy. Adorable!

That's an interesting panel on the left. That's how Marvel wishes to present itself: admired and read by everybody. A bit on the nose imo. The yellow border reinforces its meta aspect.

Spidey ends up at a super secret mega evil lair with mooks shooting at them. He gets rid of them, sees a large shadow and calls out the Kingpin... I grimace...

Except...

Huh. Not a name that inspires trust, you know.

In the readers' letters, the team says Len Wein is known for his long-range plots, and I'm not surprised. I'm here for it. Kinda. "He has the storyline worked out on THOR for the next two years. [...] He tends to lose an issue-by-issue perspective on things." Huh-huh.

#170 time!

Yeah, I had a feeling. He's a Captain America #192 expat, and it's not the first time we see stuff from another magazine come up here in Wein's run...

So that happens, Spidey gets essentially hypnotized by Faustus's smoke and helps them rob a factory or something (it's actually a fun sequence!), but more importantly, girl bonding!

Meanwhile, some guy rents May's house that she owns to retrieve something...

Dr Faustus seems to be an anti-smoking ad personified, and I'm like, sure, why not. At the end, Spidey takes care of him too.

Overall, it's a fun batch, but the Spidey/Peter ratio is completely, utterly messed up. Decompressed storytelling: why not! But that's not it. Still, there was fun stuff.

Also, know who we're going to see in the next post?

Shameless Flirting - JJ Maybank One Shot

Words: 1.428

Warnings: swearing

Pairing: JJ Maybank x kook female!reader

A/N / Summary: back in January I found a request on someone else’s post that read: “The death squad Top, Rafe and Kelce with the reader/oc. She’s a kook  girl version of JJ and it’s just her and and JJ shamelessly flirting with each other (neither pogues or kooks like that) but”. So I guess that’s it. Got a part 2 in drafts.

(pic not mine)

—Take a picture, it’ll last longer bae.

She smiled winningly at him as Topper rolled his eyes and walked away towards Kelce. —Oh yeah? But then what would I do with a picture of you?

—Well, you know, whenever you get lonely at night —she playfully hit him. —Shut up JJ.

—You could also use it as your lock screen. —he winked and smirked.

She half laughed and replied —Yeah, I bet you’d love that.

—Oh, you should totally do it.

John B called JJ’s name from where he sat with Kie and Pope on the beach. Charlotte quickly took her chance and snapped a picture of him from her angle, a little behind him. The photograph showed JJ nonchalantly leaning against the wooden structure she was sitting on, only the upper half of his body with his grey tank top and his usual hat. His neck with a few strands of blonde hair could be seen as well as only a part of his face, which was looking at John B. It was very aesthetic, the sun was close to setting so the sky was turning darker with different colours including orange, contrasting with JJ’s grey shirt but also highlighting his blonde hairs and tanned skin.

The sound of her camera phone taking the picture made him spin his head to look at her and ignore John B as he gave her a seducing smile. She laughed and then dropped her body to her feet. —Go mister, the public awaits. —she lingeringly kissed his cheek on purpose to tease him as she always did before turning on her heels and head towards her friends. He stood there for half a second just to get out of her effect and went with his friends as well.

—Finally Charles! Rafe was about to go pick you up. —Kelce told you as Rafe nodded in agreement next to him.

—Sorry guys, but here I am, all for yourselves boys! —she smiled and tried to ease the tension Rafe and especially Topper felt due to her flirting with the Pogue they hated the most.

JJ kind of experienced a similar situation with his own crew. Kie not even looking at him, Pope was wearing an expression of disgust and John B was trying his best to hold his tongue. JJ took a beer can and ignored his friends’ dislike of his flirting with the second Kook they despised most, the first one being Rafe.

-x-

Sarah and Rafe had agreed for once to throw a pool party together when their dad and Rose left a few days for business. This meant although the majority of the guests would be Kooks, on Sarah’s behalf there would also be a certain Pogue crew as well as some Tourons of course.

—Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! —Rafe, Top and Kelce boosted Charlotte as she downed the drink being poured into the beer bong funnel.

—Wohooo! Damn that was nice! —She exclaimed as she cleaned the drops falling down her chin with the back of her hand.

Rafe threw an arm over her shoulders —This is our girl boys! —she grabbed the hand that hung over her right shoulder as she laughed.

—Told you this one was a keeper! —Topper added.

JJ had been watching her chug and interact with the three men. To be honest he didn’t want to come. Although the whole group tried their best to avoid Kooks, JJ was particularly reluctant to party at the Kook kingdom. Only after Sarah ensured they’d be safe they all agreed to go. Under Sarah and Kiara’s wing, they would be okay. At least as long as John B or JJ didn’t start a fight.

—JJ! —Kie’s voice brought his attention back to their conversation. He gulped his beer down and laughed at Pope’s anecdote.

A few meters away Charlotte heard a peculiar laugh that captured her interest and so she directed her look at the blonde. She couldn’t stop a smile that didn’t go unnoticed by Rafe.

An hour later she was sitting at the pool’s edge with her legs in the water as she listened to Kelce tell a story about his last trip to Costa Rica.

—Yo guys, I’ll be right back, gotta pee. Someone wants a drink? —she asked.

—I’ve got us an Appleton hidden at the top of the bookshelf near the stairs, bring it. —Rafe spoke.

—An Appleton? Uuh fancy —she moved her eyebrows up and down quickly making him laugh.

When she saw the queue to get in the bathroom downstair she didn’t waste a second deciding to go to the one next to Rafe’s bedroom. As she was opening the white door she heard someone clearing their throat. She looked up and found a rather provoking JJ resting his back on a wall. Immediately a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

—Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in… —he rolled his eyes and took a step towards her, circling his right arm around her waist to bring her closer and leave a tender kiss on her cheek. Caught by surprise, she felt blood rushing to her cheeks at the unexpected greeting. Such reaction only made the boy more confident, letting go of her to give her a beguiling smile.

—Whatcha doin’ up here gorgeous? —a more serious look on his face now.

—Oh nothing, just gotta use the bathroom. What about you though? What are you doing up here? Doesn’t seem like your comfort zone, you know, away from your gang and in the enemy’s territory… —she winked.

—Not gonna lie, I was looking for something good to drink.

—Up here?

He grimaced. —No secret that the rich hide their best collections. —he lifted his shoulders and pouted, not giving a care in the world about voicing his bad intentions.

She smiled and nodded. —Okay then, good luck on your treasure hunt, I’m gonna go to the toilet now. —she turned to the door but stopped before going in, she spoke once again —Oh and, if you want my advice, I’d look into bookshelves.

He watched her disappear into the tiled room and kept looking for a bottle worth stealing. By the time she came out he was already standing in front of the bathroom door with a bottle attached to his lips.

She raised an eyebrow at her sight. —I see you’ve been successful on your hunt. —she walked to stand next to him and grabbed the bottle to put it in her mouth. He watched her attentively, not being able to stop himself from staring at her every move. His eyes set on the way her lips embraced the bottle spout, on the movement of her throat as she swallowed the liquid and on the tip of her pink tongue licking her lips when she finished. She turned to him and softly closed his mouth with her hand.

—Careful, you’re drooling babe. —with that she left down the stairs to reunite with her group.

As she was looking for the Appleton, she felt Rafe’s voice behind her, startling her.

—What took you so long? —Sorry, I run into someone.

Just as she finished her sentence JJ passed by and sent a defiant glare at the Cameron. The latter set a deathly glare on him as well and mumbled. —Of course you fucking did.

—Actually, I don’t think dirty pogues like you are welcomed in my party. —Rafe stood in front of JJ threateningly. Maybank, being no coward, bit his lip and prepared himself to fight. Before anything else happened, Charlotte stepped between them facing her friend. —Oookay, no need to get heated now, right?

The two boys seemed to be in a staring contest, angry expressions and slightly agitated breathings on both of them. She put a hand on Rafe’s shoulder trying to get him to focus on her and not on the blonde. —C’mon dude, lets go outside and drink this bad boy, I know you wanna. —she tried to lighten the mood but failed miserably. Magically, her silent pleas for Sarah or any of JJ friends to come help her became true as Sarah walked in on the three, getting a hold of the situation immediately.

—Rafe cut it, we talked about this. —Rafe looked at her sister and huffed. Sarah hurried to grab JJ’s hand to take him away from his death. Once they were a few feet away Charlotte grabbed Rafe’s hand and tugged to stop him from looking at Maybank and go back to the pool to keep drinking.

Dark stared at the man in front of him, his entire body going numb. There was no possible way that he was there. It wouldn’t make sense. It can’t be. 

How, how, how? 

Dark’s mind was screaming at him that it wasn’t that...thing. It wasn’t, everything about him was wrong. The eyes weren’t the correct shape, the robe was the wrong shade of red, the hair was parted the wrong way. It was not him.

But it still scared him. 

“You keep staring, should I pose and give you a better view?” The man, ‘Mark’, chuckled, popping out a hip and placing a hand on his chest. “How’s this?” 

“I can’t-I can’t go.” Wilford was trying to pull himself out of the ink, JJ kneeling next to him, no longer using his power and fully visible. Edward was with them and doing his best to patch up Wilford’s back. “Dark! Dark!” Wilford cried out. “It’s not him! It’s not him!” Wilford wasn’t sure if he was saying the for Dark or for himself. 

Jackie was moving in the ink trying to get away from it but unable to get out. He found that he was next to Mad.

“Jackie!” Mad went to sit up, but couldn’t. “Jackie, help me get up, I have an idea.” 

“I...I…” Jackie was scared to touch him. Scared of doing something wrong again. 

“It’s okay, just move the ink, you don’t have to touch me,” Mad said. “Marvin!” Mad called out, hearing a grunt in response. “Marvin put your magic into the ink! Trust me!” 

“What are you trying to do?” Alice asked, appearing next to Mad and Jackie. 

“Ignore her,” Mad said to Jackie. 

“Oh, so you’re giving orders...now…” Alice swayed a little. “The hell?” She clutched at her head, too much happening at one time. 

“Did you forget that you can only take so much at a time?” Mad asked in a mocking tone. 

“What are you doing!?” Alice now had her hands over her mouth, dry heaving. She turned towards Dark, knowing that the sudden surge of energy was coming from him. 

“Does it not feel good, Alice? Having all of it hit you at once?” Mad was able to sit up. “Feeling everything at once, the pain, the sorrow, the fear. Does it hurt?” Mad was suddenly screaming. “Does it fucking hurt!?” 

“Stop it!” Alice rushed towards Dark. 

“Dark! Behind you!” Anti tried to get out of the ink as he yelled with Mare trying to help him.

“Do something…” ‘Mark’ paused with a chuckle. “Damien.” 

“No!” Dark snapped and everyone felt it. Anyone that was partially up was now knocked over. Alice almost fell over, she managed to catch herself but was now clutching her head and letting out her own scream of pain. “No!” Dark took out a new gun and started firing at ‘Mark’. “No, no, no!” Dark’s voice split into two, echoing louder and louder with each scream. “No!” 

Anti felt that the ink’s hold on him was much weaker than before and he easily pulled an arm out of it. He looked at Alice and saw she was struggling just to stand. Something was happening that he didn’t understand and he wasn’t going to waste time trying to question it. Anti stood up and jumped out of the ink, glitching out of the air and appearing behind Alice. Anti took out a knife and before Alice could even blink, the knife was in the back of her head. 

The ink was suddenly gone, freeing everyone that had been trapped. Dark squeezed the trigger of the gun several more times, nothing coming out before he collapsed to his knees. Anti went over to Dark and knelt down, not expecting for Dark to cling to him but he hugged him back immediately.

“Are we done? Was that it?” Chase asked, still sitting on the ground and Marvin was next to him. Marvin was practically half-asleep against him, having used most of his power and could barely keep his eyes open. 

“Daddy…” Alice’s voice came out in a soft croak. “Daddy...help…” Alice reached out towards Mare, who just stared at her with wide eyes. “Dad-” Alice was stopped by Jackie stomping the knife fully into the head, finishing her off for good. Jackie turned away from the now corpse and vomited. A thick, black sludge coming out of his mouth. 

“I’m fine,” Jackie said when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Mad was looking at him. Mad was going to protest but when Jackie walked away, he went to Mare instead.

“A-Alice...I-I…” Mare was trembling when Mad got to him. “I never meant...I didn’t mean...I...I just…”

“Mare.” Mad sat down in front of Mare, holding his hands out towards him, silently asking for permission. Mare knew what Mad was asking and took his hands into his own but instead of having Mad help calm him down, he pulled him into a kiss. Mad wasn’t ready for that but wasn’t complaining as he kissed Mare back. 

“The bleeding’s stopped,” Edward said, using his last clean rag to clean off the blood from Wilford’s back. “I want to give it stitches to make sure it closes properly but I don’t have any more clean supplies. We should go back and Henrik can help me check everyone over.” 

“It can wait,” Wilford grunted. He started to get up, but JJ grabbed his arm and held him down

“Wilford, please,” JJ’s hands were shaking as he signed. Wilford decided against saying anything and just leaned against JJ. 

“Are you able to take us back?” Edward asked. “If you’re too weak, I can see if-”

“I’m never too weak.” Wilford softly chuckled. “Tell me where everyone is, I’m a little fuzzy in the head.” 

“Anti and Dark are right in front of you, Marvin and Chase are behind, Jackie’s to the left and Mad and Mare are…” Edward made a face. “Making out to the right.” 

“They wasted no time.” Wilford patted at JJ’s hand. “We’ll get on that as soon as I get a good nap in.” JJ rolled his eyes and gave Wilford a peck on the cheek. Wilford happily hummed and snapped his fingers, sending everyone back to the headquarters. 

“You’re back!” Henrik went straight to Edward and hugged him. “What all needs done?”

“Wilford needs stitches and I haven’t been able to look at anyone else. I’ll take care of him since I know how he works.” Edward said. 

“Are you okay?” Henrik asked.

“I am now that I can see you.” Edward grinned.

“Sap.” Henrik giggled and started going around the room.  

“Gross.” Phantom stuck his tongue out towards Mad and Mare who had just now stopped kissing. Mad sniffed once and plopped his head down on Mare’s chest, instantly falling asleep.

“You’ve been saying for how long that we should get together?” Mare asked, leaning against the couch Phantom and Illinois were sitting on.

“I don’t want to see it,” Phantom said. 

“We could-” Illinois was stopped by Phantom placing a hand on his face. 

“You have a hole in your shoulder, keep it in your pants.” Phantom scoffed. 

“I’m stitched up.” Illinois pressed a kiss to Phantom’s palm. 

“Did you send dick pics to my brother?” Mare asked with a smirk of knowing what was going to happen.

“Mare, I swear to God! I will-”

“Is everything okay here?” Henrik asked, cutting Phantom’s threat off. “Is Mad okay?” 

“Medically, we’re fine. Emotionally, eh?” Mare laughed at that and it slowly died off. “But, Mad’s just asleep, too much has happened and it’s taken everything out of him.”

“We’ll work on the emotions stuff later.” Henrik tried to laugh as well but walked away when it felt awkward. "Jack-"

"I'm fine." Jackie slipped on his headphones and hid in his hoodie. Henrik hesitated before moving on. 

“Is Marvin just sleeping as well?” He asked when he saw Chase and Marvin laying on the ground together. 

“Yeah, no open holes here.” Chase half-waved. Henrik smiled a little and turned his head, seeing that Anti and Dark were sitting against a wall together. Anti caught Henrik’s eyes and he gave a thumbs-up, showing that they were okay. 

“What do we do now?” Anti asked as Henrik went back over to where Edward was, seeing if he needed help with Wilford. 

“Sleep,” Dark answered in a grunt. “Forget that this ever happened.” 

“How do we forget this?” Anti took Dark’s hand and hugged it to his chest. “All of this was fucked up.” 

“You’re right...we can’t forget.” Dark adjusted himself so he was facing Anti. “But life goes on and I’m okay with that...as long as you stay here with me.” 

“You sound like you love me.” Anti giggled.

“I do.” Dark felt his cheeks flush and he didn’t care. “I love you, Anti.” 

“I love you too, you goof.” Anti leaned in and pressed his and Dark’s lips together. 

“Alright, kids, who’s making dinner?” Chase asked with a laugh.

Hey Patient! Hows the next chapter of In Times of Need coming? :D

You’ll be happy to know I just finished it!

JSE Fanfiction - In Time of Need (Part 10: Instinct)

Summary: With the others critically wounded, Jameson and Robbie are forced to take charge and call out for help.

It wasn’t normal for Marvin, Schneep, and Chase to be sleeping like this;Robbie was certain of that. This mysterious state called “sleeping” had alwaysbeen a mystery to him. Chase had once awkwardly tried to explain it as goingdead and then waking up the next morning, but he wasn’t able to answer Robbie’squestions about why they weren’t more like him when they woke up.

It hadn’t really mattered in the long run; Robbie didn’t have theattention span to keep prying about the topic. In fact, he’d nearly forgottenhe’d ever asked until that night. Sometimes, when he was wandering down thehalls late at night, one of the bedroom doors would be ajar and he would nudgeit open, squeeze through the narrow opening and pad up to the bed to check onthem.

Most of them were still enough to be dead—Marvin had a tendency to twitchand fidget which unsettled Robbie—but their chests still rose and fell, and sometimesthey made little purring noises that the zombie liked. If he’d dared, hewould’ve touched them to know if the purrs felt like a kitten’s but the onetime he’d tried it on Jackieboy, he’d startled awake and scared Robbie half todeath, so he’d opted not to do it again.

This wasn’t that kind of sleep. When Marvin had dozed off standing up,Robbie had surged forward to catch him. It hadn’t been too difficult but whenMarvin was slumped against his chest, he found that he was wet and sticky,smelling primarily primarily like salt and blood, so he let him slide to thefloor. Chase was already fast asleep, sprawled out on his side with blood thickin his hair, streams of it trailing across his face onto the linoleum. As soonas Jameson had his cell phone in his hands, Schneep promptly slumped facedown tothe floor and went to sleep too.

“No, no,no, wait!” Jameson burst out, kneeling next to Schneep and patting his cheekhurriedly. Schneep must fall asleep very quickly, because he didn’t respond andJameson mouthed a curse that didn’t register on his speech slides as he lungedback to his feet. “How do I operate this confounded widget?! Robbie, isthere any chance you…?”

Shuffling around Marvin to meet Jameson halfway, Robbie peered closely atthe device, his milky eyes lighting up as he saw the familiar icons. “Snap!Snap!” he exclaimed, to which Jameson shook his head helplessly.

“Snap? Whatis ‘snap’?”

Hopping up and down eagerly, Robbie poked a finger at the screen,repeating the motion when it didn’t register his touch. When Jameson clickedit, it worked perfectly, however, and Robbie wrapped his arms tightly aroundJameson, earning a soundless gasp.

“Smile!” the zombie urged as their eyes enlarged and cute animal earsappeared on the screen.

“What?What?! Robbie, we can’t waste time on this—oh, golly, what’s happened to me?!I’m being deformed!” Jameson babbled in horror, turning his head to lookat his companion just as the picture clicked. Robbie promptly loosened his holdenough that he could glare at him, allowing the gentleman to regain hisfooting. “I—I don’t understand this confusticating doodad! How am I to callanyone with this enchanted mirror?!”

“Pic! Better! Better pic!”Robbie protested in frustration, grabbing futilely at the phone for another tryas Jameson skirted out of his reach.

“You’reright, you’re right. I need to choose more wisely; I’ll—I’ll press this centerbutton here and—ah! You see that? We’re back to these foreign symbols! Nowwhich is the one to call…?” No sooner had he asked did a loud trill erupt fromthe device, the screen flashing with a new notification. Too overcome to copewith the ringing, Jameson gave up and hurled the phone in Robbie’s direction. “There,there you are! Have it if you know how it works!”

As the insistent ringing continued, Robbie took several seconds to peerclosely at the image on the screen before lighting up as he recognized it: thepretty woman who came to visit Jack. He almost hadn’t recognized her since shewas smiling in the picture; she’d always looked so sad since Jack fell asleep. “Seen!”he burst out, glancing excitedly between the younger Ego and the icon.

“Oh, my, it’sJack’s dame, Miss Hansen! She’s calling out to us through the mirror! But howdo we answer?!” Jameson agonized, wringing his hands helplessly ashe scanned the screen. “She wants to…FaceTime with us? What on earth doesthat mean?”

“Seen face!” Robbie stated,quite tempted to roll his eyes at Jameson’s cluelessness, though he refrainedbecause his eyes were liable to fall out of his head.

“So if weanswer, it will allow us to see her…Righto, then, let’s try this—”

Sure enough, Signe’s image came to life. She didn’t look nearly as happyas she had in her icon, Robbie noticed. That seemed normal for her now, so hedidn’t pay it much mind.

“Hello? Jameson, Robbie, where’s Dr. Schneeplestein?” Signe questioned,brows furrowing in concern. “This is his phone, isn’t it?”

“Quiteright, madam, but—”

“I’m sorry, could you tilt the phone down, please? I can’t see yourspeech slides, JJ.”

“Alright,then, let me have the blasted thing back, Robbie.” Without somuch as a “please”, Jameson retook the phone from the disappointed zombie,drastically tilting it down toward the floor and earning a sharp inhale from thewoman on the other end.

“What’s that puddle in the background? Oh, my—is that blood?!” she gasped.“I got an automatic message from the CCC system and I wanted to check in—What ishappening?” It only took a singlebeat for her to realize what that blood could imply and who it could be from. “Isit Seán’s?! Please, no, please don’t tellme he’s—”

“He’salright, Miss Hansen, he’s in the same condition!” Jamesonhurried to interrupt, clearly trying to sound soothing even though he had novoice. “But everyone else is in a terriblestate; we need help as quick as you can send it!”

With Jameson hogging the phone and never letting Robbie get a word inedgewise to Signe, the zombie returned his attention to the others, crouching nextto Chase and pawing at his shoulder, turning him onto his back so he could geta better look at him. Like Jack, Chase didn’t wake up at his touch, and hishead seemed strangely loose on his neck, rolling back and forth like a singlegrape in a shaken bowl. Robbie patiently took ahold of his chin, stilling himso he could lean in close to inspect it.

There was quite a lot of blood; Robbie hadn’t seen this much blood sincethe last time the Glitch visited! It was warm and gooey under his fingertips, like thechocolate he only got on his birthday, and the longer he dabbed at it, thestickier it became. For a few good minutes, playing with it entertained him,but once the amusement wore off, his senses belatedly registered somethingelse.

It smelled good.

Robbie paused, tilting his head at the unexpected realization and thensnuffling experimentally. The enticingly tangy scent wasn’t a fluke; as soon asit struck his nose again, his mouth automatically started watering. After amoment or two of sniffing for more, he remembered himself, reeling back and hunchinghis shoulders guiltily.

Kie said…no…

“Robbie, youmight see zombies on TV eating people, but that’s not right,” the hero hadexplained firmly.

“Bad?” Robbiehad ventured.

“Yes, bad. Noneof them are supposed to do that and neither are you. You don’t do that, okay?”

Jackieboy’s words had been very clear, clear enough for even Robbie tounderstand, and it had been easy enough to agree with them then, but the olderEgo wasn’t here to understand just how delectable the smell was! Halfheartedly lickingat his split lower lip for any trace of his own blood, Robbie peekedsubversively over at Jameson. He was still talking with Signe and had movedacross the room to crouch next to Marvin.

His back was turned.

Murring low in his throat, Robbie fidgeted, his gaze darting back to whatlay immediately in front of him. Chase’s green hair was matted with red, hisflesh was dripping with it, and Robbie’s eyes glazed and dilated as theytracked each drop that slid down his face toward the floor. He was suddenlyhyperaware of the gnawing emptiness in his stomach; no one had made him food today.Fleetingly he thought of the animal meat he ate on a regular basis, but withthis right in front of him, it paled in comparison. This was real, fresh, bloody meat lying at his feet. Hisstomach snarled and twisted at the thought and a tremor of need rocked himforward so he could inhale again. As soon as a lock of Chase’s hair wetlybrushed the tip of Robbie’s nose, he was lost in it. The smell swirled aroundhis head, enveloping him, clouding all other thoughts.

Food. Flesh.Food. Flesh. Food, his mind chanted, his skin prickling in anticipationas he growled deep in his throat, settling on his haunches.

“How’s Robbie? Is he doing okay?” Signe’s voice barely registered asRobbie snatched up Chase’s nearest arm, peeling his hand open to seek out the bloodon his palm and fingers first. Save head…last…

“Well, heseems to be—” Jameson’s shoe squeaked as he spun around to face him, bringing thezombie’s head up with a questioning rumble. Startled, the youngest Ego shiftedhis weight back and forth uncomfortably, holding the phone close as heventured, “Ro—Robbie, my good chap…what are you doing?”

Robbie’s grip on Chase’s wrist tightened possessively, dirty nailsdigging into his warm, pliable, delectable skin that was ready and waiting tobe eaten. Chase’s fingers twitched in response, drawing a soft grunt from him thatcaused Jameson to perk up.

“Chase?” Hopeful,worried, and unaware of the danger, he slid two steps closer.

Jaw near-unhinging with a feral screech, Robbie threw down Chase’s armand hurled himself forward, crashing into the helpless Jameson with enoughforce to flatten him. The phone clattered away as Jameson threw his arms up toprotect himself, Signe’s panicked shouts going unheard.

“Robbie! Jameson?! What’s happening?! Is anyone there?!”

“M-i-i-i-i-ine!” the zombieroared as Jameson flailed and cried underneath him, his speech slides ablur.

“No! No, please, stop! Stop! Robbie, it’s me! Robbie! Robbie!Wake up!!”

Deaf to his pleas, Robbie snapped and snarled at his face, tearing at anyexposed skin he could find. His vision tunneled, adrenaline was reeling throughhim, all rational thought abandoned in favor of defending his meal. Jameson wasno match for his inhuman strength; Robbie could feel bones cracking under hishands as he brought them down hard, over and over and over—

A glancing kick to his chest in the course of Jameson’s struggle knockedhim off balance just enough for Jameson to scramble out from under him,desperately trying to haul himself upright as his legs buckled underneath him. Scrabblingonto all fours, Robbie shook himself, frothy slobber glistening against baredteeth, muscles in his back and shoulders rippling as he crouched low acrossfrom the stricken Jameson. For a solid thirty seconds, they tried to catch theirbreath—a stalemate.

“Robbie…” the youngestEgo pleaded tearfully, his speech slide hardly flickering as he lifted his handever so slowly, running the back of his sleeve over the largest of the gashestorn into his cheek. “It’s…me…P-Please…”

There was no recognition in Robbie’s narrowed eyes. They trailed slowlydownward, following Jameson’s arm as he lowered it, fixated on the crimsonsmear across his sleeve. Shivering against the wall, Jameson tucked his armcloser to his side, glancing timidly between the blood and the zombie.

No recognition—only hunger.

Translation 3

Finally I have translation three done! Summer is so much more busier than I thought! Also, this one was a bit more difficult because she talks very casually which I think leaves more up to context and interpretation. The others I did in one sitting, but this one I took breaks because I was just like もういいぃぃ! A little annoyed lol. I didn’t try to “translate” her way of talking because I don’t know. I don’t want to put a personality on her.  So this is story 2 of the Hafu article that can be found here. I was requested to provide the Japanese as well, so, excuse the length, but enjoy the read! 

|Even if you hear about my roots, you’ll say it’s a tan|

Regina was born in the Tokyo area of Fussa City to her father, a military officer at a local base, and her Japanese mother. She attended an elementary school located at the Yokota military base and joined the Fussa City schools for junior high school. I asked of her story at her usual workplace, the Yokota Base.

ルーツを聞かれても「日サロだよ」って

レジーナさんは東京都福生市で米空軍所属の父と日本人の母とのもとに生まれた。小学校は米軍横田基地の中にある小学校に、中学校は福生市の中学校に通っていた。レジーナさんが普段働く横田基地の中でお話を伺った。

Do you have any recollections of your father?

My mom and dad split up. As soon as I was born, my dad immediately returned to America and I lived life here with my mom.

I don’t really remember my dad much. My friends have asked “What if you look for your dad?” so I searched names like his and found an address/addresses. So, I went to America, but I never saw him or got to meet him. In the end, we never got to meet and he passed away. Maybe there are a lot of children in this kind of situation who have parents from a military base.

――お父さんの記憶はありますか？

お母さんとお父さんは別れていて。お父さんは、私が生まれてすぐにアメリカに帰って、わたしはお母さんとこっちで生活してます。

お父さんの記憶はほとんどなくて。友達から「お父さん探してみたら？」って言われて、人探しサイトから似た名前を探して住所を見つけたんです。それでアメリカに行ったんだけど結局すれ違っちゃって、会えなくて。結局会えないまま、他界しちゃいました。親が基地関係で出会った場合、こういう境遇の子どもも多かったんじゃないかな

Could you tell us a bit about your childhood?

I of course thought that there weren’t many children like me at my nursery school (maybe it’s same as pre-school in the states). They often said things like “go away” a lot. And of course they had a lot to say about the difference in my skin color.

My mother was already worried about this, so she placed me in the elementary school at the base. But, even at that school, there weren’t many mixed roots children who went. As expected, I had to recognize they made up the majority (The verb is interesting here: 一目置かれるmeaning ‘to acknowledge one’s superiority’. How crazy.) So, even if I’m in Japan, or at an American establishment, there is always this gray area of uncertainty. (Not really sure of the subject here. Maybe she means gray area of how she will be treated, of how people react…)

Around the time I was in high school, having a tan was kind of the fad around the world. Because everyone around me were getting tans, even if they heard about my racial background, they would just say “Oh, it’s a tan!” I could understand that kind of thinking given the situation (laughs). I kind of thought like, “Oh, finally people won’t take much notice of my skin.” But, now I think that in itself was a bit different.

――子どもの頃のことを教えてもらえますか？

保育園では私みたいな人が少なかったと思うんですよね。物珍しかったのか「あっち行け」とか言われることがすごくあって。私の場合はやっぱり肌の色のことで強く言われることがありました。

そういうことを心配した母親が、小学校は米軍基地の中の学校に入れたんですよ。でも基地の学校でも自分のようなミックスのルーツの子どもは少なかったから、やっぱりそこでも一目置かれるというのがありました。だから、日本にいても、アメリカ社会にいてもどっちつかずっていうのはあった。

私は高校生ぐらいの頃に日焼けするのが世の中で流行ってきた世代で。私の周りもみんな焼いてたから、自分がルーツを聞かれても「日サロだよ」って。それで納得されたこともありましたよ（笑）。「ああ、やっとこれで自分の肌の色を気にしないでいられる」って思ったかな。でも、そうやって思うこと自体がちょっと違うのかなって今は思ったりもする。

Did you have any troubles or worries around adolescence?

Yeah. In all honesty, there was always this complex feeling (I think it’s not complex, like difficult, but you know psych type). I’m a pretty careless person, so it may be thought “oh there are no worries here”, but… Even now there is still that complex in me.

For example, even when I was pregnant before, I honestly thought, “It would be bad if this child lives a life like mine.” (as in having to deal with the complex, bullying, and other things that comes with having darker skin and being half) From this, I of course think I still have some sort of complex.

Of course there are some Hafu who are raised without this type of experience. But, as for me, because of my skin, a lot of things were said about my skin in my childhood. Even if something was said, I couldn’t say anything back. I can’t say I was so extreme as to bleach my skin, but I definitely though, “I wish my skin was white”. I don’t really think that anymore, but when I get the stares from those around me, sometimes I do.

You can say “It’s okay if you don’t worry about it,” but, of course, when some bad experiences come up, I begin to worry about it.

――思春期の頃は自分のアイデンティティに悩んだり…？

うん、常にコンプレックスの塊というのが正直なところで。私自身はこうやっておちゃらける人だから「悩みとかなさそう」って思われるみたいなんだけど。でもやっぱりコンプレックスはいまだに自分の中にありますね。

例えばこの前子どもを妊娠したときも、「またこの子が自分とおんなじ思いをしたらいやだな」って正直思ったんですよね。でも、そうやって思っちゃう自分ってやっぱりまだコンプレックスが抜けてないのかなって。

もちろんこういう経験をせずに育ったハーフもいると思う。でも私の場合は、子どもの頃は本当に肌のことで色々言われてきたから、本当にそれが嫌で。何か言われても反論できなかった。極端に言ったら漂白じゃないけど、色を白くしたいって思ってて。今はそうは思わなくはなったんだけど、周りからの目線が気になるときはある。

「気にしなきゃいいよ」っていわれたらそこまでなんだけど、でもやっぱりそれで嫌な思いしてきた私にとってはやっぱり気になっちゃうよね。

Do you feel/experience this in your everyday life?

In my daily life, I’m asked “What’s your nationality?”. When I go to make things like my passport, drivers license, bankbook, or ID, I get asked like “Your nationality is…. Japanese, right..?”. Even when I get a car loan. I think, “of course I am seen as a foreigner.”

I can understand when people are talking about me. At a store, some people sitting next to me think I can’t speak Japanese and say things like, “American people are increasing here, hey” or “Oh, must be an American”. So I think, “Because I’m here, they’re having this kind of conversation?”. It could just be a persecution complex as well though.

There are times when I though to say, “I can understand what you’re saying.” (Not confident in this). When I start talking with my friends in, as usual, Japanese, it’s a dead silence from the those having the conversations earlier.

――普段の生活で感じることはありますか？

普通に生活していて「国籍はどちらですか？」って聞かれますね。パスポート、免許証、銀行の通帳、自分のIDになるものを作るときには必ず、「国籍は、日本ですよね…？」みたいな感じで聞かれます。車のローンを組む時も。「ああ、やっぱり私は外国人として見られてるのね」って。

あと周りの人たちが私のことを話してるときはわかりますね。私が日本語を話せないと思って、お店で隣に座った人が「最近アメリカの人増えたね」とか、「アメリカってこうだよね」とかって話し始めたりすることがある。「私がここにいるからそういう会話になったの？」って思ってしまうんですよ。被害妄想だよって言われたらそこまでなんですけど。

「私、話していることわかりますよ」って思って横で聞いてたりすることがあって。私が友達と普通に日本語で話し始めると、さっきまで話してたのに一気にしーんとなるんですよね。

In regard to Japanese companies, what do you think about how they see “Hafu”?

Many people mention how most Hafu are usually the mix of white and Japanese. Like me, it feels like Black and Japanese mixed Hafu children are viewed apathetically from the back.

Finally, groups like J Soul Brothers of three generations have become popular recently. But, of course, there aren’t many girls to come out. Just, like, sports player, Osaka Naomi. There are some models like JJ and ViVi, but, as expected, a model mixed with white is more common.

The most shocking thing was when Miss Universe, Miyamoto Eriana, came out and a TV report made the comment, “She doesn’t appear very Japanese.” I thought, “Whaaat?!” But, of course, there is that kind of closeminded thinking.

It’s kind of strange… Sometimes I think that there is this common idea in Japan that people mixed with Black can’t do anything outside of the sports, dance, or singing industries. For girls who want to become models or something, there aren’t chances to see them in the media (Sorry, not too confident here). If discrimination can move away from these kinds of things, I wonder if Japan can also change a little bit.

――日本社会における「ハーフ」へのまなざしについてはどう思いますか？

みんなが言う「ハーフ」って結局白人と日本人とのハーフが多くて。私みたいに、黒人と日本人とのハーフの子たちとかは後ろの方からしらーっと見ている感じ。

ようやく最近だよね、三代目J Soul Brothersとかが出てくるようになってきたの。でもやっぱり女の子はあんまり出てこないよね。スポーツ選手だと大坂なおみちゃんぐらいで。『JJ』とか『ViVi』とか結構ハーフのモデル使ってるけど、やっぱり白人系の子が多いよね。

一番衝撃的だったのがミスユニバースに宮本エリアナさんが出てきたときに、テレビのコメンテーターが「彼女は日本人らしくない」ってコメントをしていたこと。「はー！？」と思った。やっぱりこういうところで狭い考えしちゃうんだなって。

変な話、黒人のミックスの子はもうスポーツとかダンス、歌の業界くらいでしか活躍できないんじゃないか、そういう雰囲気が日本では横行しているんじゃないかなって思うときもある。女の子にとっての憧れになるモデルだったり、華やかな場所に出てくることはないというか。そういうところが分け隔てなくなってきたら日本ももう少し変わるのかなって思うけど。

*Under pic*

Regina started our talk with saying, “Of course there hasn’t been this kind of chance since this isn’t a usual topic of conversation. Even we talk, people can’t really understand (my story/experience). “ I thought I could offer a glimpse into not having been able to share my experiences up until now, and, at the same time, being able to share my experience but still not being about to come to grips with these two realities. Someone wanting to understand another experience probably needs some background knowledge. But, what’s more to ask for is for people to listen to different ideas and experiences. (not too confident in this either).

レジーナさんは「やっぱりこういう機会じゃないと普段話せないことがあるから。話してもわかってもらえないことがあるから」と言って話し始めてくれた。これまで周囲に自分の経験を伝えてこなかったわけではないこと、同時に伝えてもなかなか受け止められなかった現実の両方が垣間見えたような気がした。誰かの経験を理解するうえで多少の予備知識は必要かもしれない。けれど、それ以上に求められるのは異なる考えや経験に耳を傾ける想像力ではないだろうか。

All Victurio headcanons link  

(The headcanons are quite many & long now so I put them all under tag “headcanon”. It’s best to read them in order)

So the origin of Victurio relationship has come to an end at hc 13, and now back to their exciting love and married life <3

Victurio headcanon 14: Victor’s jealousy episodes (part 1):

. Victor knows that he’s 12 years older than Yura and supposed to act adultly but as an alpha, it’s hard for him to keep calm while others ‘re trying to invade his space & steal things that belongs to him. Plus, there’s his extraness.

. When Yura (15) & Victor first dated: there’s one time Victor’s phone out of battery so he asked Yura to lend him a phone call. Yura gave the phone to him and went to showering (he had a sleepover at Victor’s). After the phone call, there’s a notification of new message on Yura’s Whatsapp. Even though Victor & Yura both tried to respect each other’s personal space, Victor’s curiousity won this time & his fingers just opened the message. That was from a stranger, and the content of the message made Victor’s mood go bad, really bad. He waited for Yura to come out of the shower, and asked if he usually received “dirty” or flirty messages like this. Yura yelled at him for checking private things without his permission, and “No, Victor, I have never answered those bullshit inbox because I hate talking to stranger ever since I was born, remember?”. Victor was able to calm down a bit and knew he was in the wrong, so he hugged Yura, said sorry over and over again with a shower of kisses which made Yura unable to think clearly. They made out on the couch, and even though Victor really wanted to bite & mark his lover to claim his possesion, he restrained himself in order not to hurt Yura and he was well aware that Yura was still too young for this thing.

. When Yura was 19, Victor was his coach and traveled with him all that year’s competition season (they are not dating, Victor has just broken up with Yuuri 1 year ago). There was one alpha male competitor from Canada, named Jackson with overconfidence and likes to show-off (which reminds both Yura & Victor of JJ - JJ now is married to his fianceé & has a cute 1-year old boy who is his carbon copy). Jackson showed interest in Yura since the first time he saw him at the Canadian Skating Competition & immediately asked for Yura’s number & accounts. During the competition time, except for practicing time & performance, he kept hoovering around Yura all the time. Yura felt really annoyed and hissed at Jackson like a grumpy cat he is, but Jackson did not mind it. Well, Victor could understand Jackson for falling for Yura so fast like that because Yura has grown up into one beautiful & perfect omega male with long golden hair, pale skin & androgynous appearance. When Victor dated him 4 years ago, Yura was already cute & had nice figure. But now he has turned into some sort of sexual danger for other males, espcially alpha males.

. After the competition, Yura came back to Russia. Jackson did not give up though, he sent messages to Yura every day, like or comment on all of Yura’s status or pic on social media. They both made it to GPF and that guy won second place, lost to Yura. But he was really stubborn & still tried to ask Yura on a date after the competition. Certainly Yura said “no” because Jackson’s not his type (Yura hates people who annoys him & “sticky” like a gum).

. In the summer (when off-season), Yura tweets about his intention of going to Japan to visit Yuuri (he tagged Yuuri in it). When he arrived (Victor did not go because he still could not talk normally with Yuuri), that Canadian guy has already waited for him at Yuuri’s onsen (it’s a mystery how he could book a room just 1 week beforehand in the most crowded vacation season).

. Yura tried to ignore him, but could not because he followed Yura everywhere, except for his bedroom & toilet. Luckily there are seperated hot springs/ onsen  for omegas so Yura was not disturbed when he’s relaxing in the bath. Yuuri also did a lot to help him avoid that annoying Canadian, but he could not go out much with Yura because the onsen was so crowded and busy at this season & he had his handful with his skating school & new boyfriend. Thus Jackson tried to accompany Yura whenever he went out for sight-seeing & shopping. Yura was quite annoyed at first, but during their hangouts, it turned out that Jackson is rather funny & easy to talk with & not much of an asshole as JJ. He knows a lot about travelling, sports ( especially skating & surfing), movies, trending things. Yura thought he was not a bad choice for a company in this short trip. They went to a lot of places, enjoyed good food, took pictures, and talked about various things. Yuuri went with them when he had free time.

. Back in Russia, Victor saw pics of Yura & Jackson in Yura’s twitter, insta & be quite surprised. He inbox Yura asking about his trip, and Yura replied saying that Jackson was not an asshole as he thought, and plus, Yuuri already got himself a new boyfriend. Victor knows that Yura still hopes he and Yuuri can talk to each other again so the 3 of them can hang out like the old times. But Yura did not know that there’s a secret behind his & Yuuri’s break-up: Yuuri knew about Victor & Yura’s first dating. He did not hate Yura for that, but he’s really sad because he sensed that Victor still could not forget about Yura. So they decided (Yuuri decided, actually) to break up after 2 years of engagement. Victor could not talk to Yuuri after that partly because of his guilt.

. Near the end of the trip, Jackson took Yura out at night for sight-seeing. He asked Yura to be his boyfriend. Yura said he want time until the last day of the the trip to think about it.

. Jackson posted a new status with a pic of Hasetsu sea at dusk, hinting that he’s waiting for his wish to come true. Victor immediately realized the small figure with long blond braid hair turning his back to the camera in that pic (yes he followed Jackson’s account, do not ask him why). He knew that Jackson has made his move. He did not know what to feel about it. In a moment of confusion, he called Yuuri.

bulk

--mod--

You know how it goes 

------

Anon: 
Am i the only one that actually dont believe that they are dating? There is none proof that they are dating or in a relationship , in fact i think Diane is behind this , im sure there have been " ilove you" text around those 2. And dont you think she will be seen at all the events he went in 2016? Steve's wedding , the concerts , and traveling with him (ofcourse except the Paris thing) . Like Mod said and what i also believe , they prob just friends with benefits 😉



Anon: 
Sorry to bother you but is NR and DK "dating thing" official or not? This situation is such a mess that I can't understand anything 😂😂😂 --mod-- Right now it's still just rumor and speculation

 


Anon: 
OMG MOD! So it was all about publicity wasn't it??? She did that to get her name out there for Oscar weekend. I feel so much better now. They can't state a denial and then be caught again or it would look HELLA bad

Anon: 
i think that i'm just sad because he isn't single anymore ahahahah is that bad? --mod-- Not at all



Anon: 
I don't understand how they could be together. She embodies everything he hates (glitz glamour hollywood) She also screws with his fans worse than CS. Are they really going to go walking around holding hands like she did with JJ? He doesn't do that shit. And what about attending award shows? Are we gonna have to see her stupid face every time he goes somewhere? I think I quit. If he's with HER, he's exactly the person he said he wasn't. I so hope it's not true

. 


Anon: 
Holy Heck, at this point I don't think a denial would even do much. Consider that when that old EK story broke in TMZ and People he denied it by then, but there are still fans who believe they were (or are!) together even though she hasn't been in GA in two yes and has a long term bf. On NR's newest post are some comments to "pls clear up the DK rumor and admit you're still with EK". Like...what? More ppl follow tabloid gossip than follow NR's IG I guess. 



Anon: 
Do you think Norman even knows or cares about disappointed and sad maybe even disgusted fans? Seems like the majority of them don't care when you read through the comments on his ig picture. i kinda wish he'd get more backlash. -- mod-- He is filming right now and being down or whatever doesn't make for a good show



Anon: 
I think as fans we put Norman on a pedestal and expect more from him than a non celebrity. Yes he spoke of his dislike of cheating but no one likes to be cheated on. If the rumors are true he was on the other side of the fence this time and might have felt different. But he ain't no saint! He's just a dude. I'm not condoning his actions either way and DK has a history of being vile, but that doesn't seem to matter until it does. If ur taking this personally, take a breather. Its not gonna last

. 

Anon: 
nurseyanon: I don't care/never have about Norm and DK. It's not like we're engaged or anything...I do have a date every Sunday night (when I'm not working and saving lives that is!) to watch him and my beloved Crazy Rick kick ass. I don't know what Norm is like in real life, I DO NOT plan to attend a con or a cruise to meet him, I certainly am not going out of my way. I confess an attraction to Negan, or JDM, or sorta kinda both???

 
 

Anon: 
With all the kindness and consideration he's shown over the years he deserves better fans than this. Choosing between the actor who's Skyped with dying kids or people being cruel on the internet I'm going to stick with NR being the person I continue to prefer. No one is speaking for me when they say he's let fans down or owes us explanations. I'm not upset whether its true or not and he owes me exactly nothing. I'm ashamed by some of the behavior I'm seeing directed at him. 



Anon: 
That Norman or his reps didn't come out as of yet tells EVERYTHING. He denied the Emily rumors years back immediately. The rumors with DK are going on since almost a year now and he still didn't say anything. Disgusting, gross and ridiculous! Makes him look like he's got no balls and is such a wimp if he can't even admit it. I hope he gets backlash, I get why fans are hella disgusted and disappointed in him. Seems like he's definitely not the man he claims to be. And that is disappointing.


Anon: 
Honestly: that neither Norman nor his reps said anything or denied the DK thing yet says it all. He denied the EK rumors within 2 hours and even made fun of it. He went all silent now and doesn't say anything at all. Actions are sometimes more proof than words. They are dating if you want to admit it or not. I for me lost all my respect for the man and it's not about being jealous. It's because he claimed to love honesty yet he looks like a big liar and fool. 



Always-hopeful:
Mod I know I'm late to the party but I just woke up, checked the news, and I have to say I'm stoked that it looks like Norman might be finding love again! And who really knows what he and DK are like, they might be very good for one another, who knows! And as for people who are upset because he "lied?" How'd he do that exactly? I'd want to tell those people to not judge unless they've walked a mile in his (or her) shoes. That's all I want for him (and told him so at WS ATL), peace & happiness.

 

Anon: 
My God.I don't know what the hell to think.I have always adored Norman and the way he brings Daryl to life.He seems to be such a captivating,interesting person.I want to be on his side still,but the rumours leave a bad taste in my mouth,I can't help.There is so much confusion,nothing fits together.For all we know he could have simply driven her home because she had all these bags.But the rumours just won't die. And he should be smart enough by now to avoid her.Why does he allow her to do this?

--mod--why do any of us keep the company we do. It's all rumors at this point so maybe wait and see what happens in the coming days and weeks.





Anon: 
Also notice how Norman stopped liking DK's pics on IG. Probably because he was with her all the time. He also didn't go back to NYC THAT often before in between filming last year. He did it to see her, come on. It grosses the hell out of me to just think about it. He's such a good actor, making himself look like he's an honest man yet he's the opposite.




Anon: 
Hey Mod, I just saw all the talk, is it true or just another rumor? How come these pics always come out right when there's something she's doing that she wants attention for? --mod-- Right now just rumors. No ideas why they dropped on Friday when they were taken days before.




Anon:
Do you know if Norman is currently getting a lot of hate for the shit he did or not? I don't follow Norman blogs on Twitter or Tumblr/IG so I don't see anything. Would like to know if people are more disgusted or happy for him. I can't believe one could be happy with what he did, lying and probably cheating like how can one support his behavior? Nothing to be proud of. So anyone knows what the majority of his fans think? --mod-- He's getting both. I think he's fans are divided into like 3 groups those that hate it, those that approve and those that don't care.




Anon: 
Nothing makes sense Mod. If this was supposed to be him coming out w/ her, (since the pics were obvs set up), then why didn't he do it on Valentine's Day instead of leaving a day early /ignoring it? &why did he go out w/ Jarah to bury the rumor if he was still gonna come out w/ DK a month later? If it's true it looks SO much worse now b/c he went out of his way to hide it again even after ppl were talking about Paris. So it looks like he lied twice. Either it's not true or he's REALLY stupid.


--mod--

No those were pap shots. Those aren't they type of shots you get for "coming out"

One question: were the pictures taken in Norman's NYC garage or upstate. If it was upstate she might've helped him with stuff since he's going to move there. I don't believe it myself but it could be just helping a friend. If it was in his NYC garage it's kinda weird. They unloaded a whole lot of stuff, even cartons. Looks even a bit as if it might be her stuff and she moved to his appartment? Can someone help me out, I'm lost. Because to me it doesn't look like just stuff from a shopping trip? -- mod-- It was taken somewhere in NYC, so not upstate. His place in NYC doesn't have a garage. Side note he's not moving permanently upstate. That home is already set up.

 


Anon: 
Total speculation but I can't help but think that when NR was with HC over the holidays maybe she warned him about DK's..love of tabloids and to steer clear if they were just friends, fwb or exes? Now, even if she set it up, he was physically in her parking garage just last weekend. Its not like it was a random super old pic her people gave to DM/TMZ. It's new. So as crappy as it is for him to be set up I can't be sympathetic because, how could he not see this coming?




Anon: 
I guess for me I am just really having a hard time understanding why someone would want to keep their relationship so secretive. If they are dating. Unless the cheating rumors are true and they don't want anyone to know. I would think if you love someone you would want everyone to know. The possible cheating is the worst part for me. I guess if the cheating rumors wind up being true then it will make me see him in a different light. I am definitely still a fan of his movies and TV shows. --mod-- Again at this point it's speculation at minimum they are friends. So we just have to wait and see how things go from here 




Anon: 
So people are just going to ignore all the good things Norman has done? He's seen with another female and doing things what friends do and now he's the devil. People need to stay the fuck out of his personal life and stop acting like 13 year olds. He isn't some band member. Chill out.




Anon: 
It used to be DK deleted every comment about Norman on her IG posts but now she is only deleting the negative ones. She's keeping the comments that say they make a good couple and all that. I'm taking that as a confirmation to be honest.



Anon: 
Is it official that norman and diane are dating or in relation? --mod-- Nope





Anon: 
Do you think it's all true Mod? I was so excited for RIDE now I don't even care. It's like he's not the same as we thought he was.


--mod-- I don't think it's true. Even if it was it doesn't really bother me.

 



Anon: 
So I'm annoyed with Norman's "choices" like others and totally see this TMZ "photo scandal" as an attempt by the untalented DK to "stay relevant," the timing / Oscar weekend is so convenient. However, my main gripe is...why does Norman look so greasy and in character 24/7? Others in the ZA have bathed and cut their hair, and in that Georgia heat it might feel better while slaying zombies. His gross factor is turning up. --mod-- Feral Daryl makes the world go BOOM 💥. I have no idea where that come from.

Anon: 
Did you see what they all unloaded from his car? It looks like it's someone's whole household stuff, bags but also bigger cartons. I wonder if it's her stuff and she moved to Norman's house? That's not just stuff from a usual shopping trip 😷 Or can someone help me out?
--mod-- Just stuff from a normal shopping trip. She isn't moving in.





Anon: 
I really don't want to believe NR and DK are a couple based on a couple of pics of them hanging out but it's so weird that NR isn't denying it. We've had these kind of rumours before. It was TMZ who also released the "NR and EK are dating!" story and NR took to social media to deny it AND had his reps deny it too within hours of the story breaking. But this time... nothing? I'm starting to think he can't deny it because it's true.




Anon: 
Even if it turned out to be true , i would be dissappointed in Norman , but do we actually think he is that stupid? To love a hollywood woman thats been acting like a diva? He isnt even like that , she will hate his fans and try even more attention from all the media. I really hope his people says something about this situation because this is going to give him a bad reputation 😖





Anon: 
Some things are objectively clear 1) DK, who has a deal with DM, orchestrated the pap pics *without NR's knowledge or consent*. She arranges weekly pics with DM and this time they just happen to "catch" NR--in her garage? 2) The content of the original articles (DM TMZ) is a lie. She wasnt upstate with him 3) DK was aware the pics, article (and lies therein) were gonna come out, but NR wasn't, it seems. Doesn't seem like something a loving gf or even friend would do. Thoughts?





Anon: 
Tripping across the dark playground 🤐. It seems like she 'confirmed' by liking insta comments about him being good at hiding the relationship. --mod-- New favorite phrase "tripping across the dark playground" I'm stealing it anon 




Anon: 
why are people so upset about if norman and diane turns out to be couple? I dont really follow them to much but I cant see the problem.. --mod-- Mostly because of the cheating allegations if they've been together. She was in a long term relationship which ended.
