#I was thinking surely it wont happen fourth time in a row but no

[jestroer]

What I love about Jimmy being out first every single time Is that it's not even that he is so bad at the game, he is just so fucking unlucky at all times. Like, the best example I can give is Last Life, where he spawned with two lives, which is in itself very unlucky, didn't gain any and still he died seconds before Mumbo who spawned with 4 and in the same ep as the others who had more lives than him. Like, he barely ever died in some epic battle where his PvP skills just weren't good enough, it's always some shit like falling from somewhere, traps not meant for him, accidently looking at an enderman. It's always a chance he dies first and the chance somehow is always against Jimmy. Like I know we love calling Jimmy bad at the game but for me it's much more interesting that his skills are genuinely not the main reason he dies first. Bad luck omen as well as death omen he's not fucking beating those allegations boys

#shitpost #this boy can fit so many bad omens #was thinking of this since Last life ended #kts very interesting #I was thinking surely it wont happen fourth time in a row but no #hes so #jimmy solidarity #solidarity gaming #trafficblr #last life #third life #double life #limited life

Tarot

Draco x Reader

Word count: 2232

Draco bumps into you in the slytherin common room, late at night. You both find yourself opening up to each other. I just think its cute man.

Warnings: Parent struggles. If there is anymore please let me know!

Glancing at the clock on the wall I realise it's now half past twelve in the morning. I had officially spent over four hours painting my tarot cards, procrastinating from doing my homework is officially one of my skills. Sighing, I slide the card I was working on over to the edge of the table to dry. I then reach for a mint leaf from my pocket and slide it into my mouth, the taste takes me back to being a child and playing in the manor gardens with my Nanny. I'm clearing up my paints as I hear footsteps coming into the hall that leads to the slytherin common room. Scrambling, I hide the paints under the table and pretend to fall asleep over the charms book I was meant to be reading. Recently, Pansy had been taking her prefect duties a little too seriously and had busted me for being out of my dorm room too many times now. I could easily wind her up and make her leave me alone but tonight I just didn't have the energy to hear her rattle on about how ‘we aren't meant to hang in the common room outside of curfew times’. The thing is, I’ve always been a night owl and not wanting to wake up the other girls in my room, I've made a habit of coming down to the common room to have some alone time. 

“Stop being so pathetic, I know you're not asleep y/n” Draco announces in a chuckle as he walks in front of the table I'm at. 

“Oh, what do you want Draco?” I lift my head to look at the white haired boy towering over me.

“Don’t worry, I'm not here to kick you out.” He pulls at a stool with his foot and sits opposite me, picking an apple from the bowl on the side table “I was just coming to pick up a snack. What are you doing awake at this hour anyway?” 

I lift a paintbrush from under the table in response. “I don't even know where to start on the charms essay so I thought I'd add to my collection instead.”

He places his elbows onto his knees and leans closer to the three cards I had set on the edge of the table. “These are pretty good, I didn't know you could paint.” 

“I didnt realise I had to inform you of everything I do.”

Draco huffs contempt, tilting his head a little “fair enough.”

“What are you doing awake?” I ask as I lift my wand and clean my paint brushes.

“Just finished the reading for potions class” he takes a bite from his apple and lifts the middle card.

A confused giggle escapes my mouth and I tease “I didn't know Draco Malfoy actually cared about his grades.”

Under his breath (more to himself than to me) he whispers “my parents would probably kill me if I didn’t.” Switching to a smirk, he echoes my words back to me “Well, I didn’t realise I had to inform you of everything I do.” He places the card back onto the table and drags the subject back to me “anyway, everything you need for the charms paper is in the fourth and fifth chapter.”

“Ah, thankyou.” I open up the charms book to the suggested chapters and place in a book mark. I stretch out my legs and lean back onto the sofa behind me, sitting on the floor for so long has made my legs go dead. “So, do you want me to do a reading?” 

Dracos body stiffens slightly, and he straightens his back. “I don't think so, it's not very accurate anyway is it?” His thin fingers pick at his loose black pajama bottoms for fluff that wasn't there. 

He clearly was one of the people who thought divination wasn’t actual magic. Back at Durmstrang, divination was such a popular subject that I was shocked when I came to England and saw so many columns popping up in The Daily Prophet about it just being a hoax. “Oh, for goodness sake Draco, it is accurate if it's done correctly. One card wont hurt you. Also, accurate or not, at least I'll get some practice.” I offer an encouraging smile.

“Please... my father says it's purely based on chance and calculated guessing. I don't imagine you'll be very good if you've had Trelawney teaching you anyway, the woman is out of her mind.” he says in a huff, scrunching his nose in disgust.

“One card?” I lift my eyes to meet his and pout in an exaggerated way.

He cocks a brow and flashes a look at the cards “one.”

I sit up instantly, leaning to the chair that I dumped my bag on earlier that night and pull out a full tarot deck. I clear the table, shuffle the cards and spread them upside down in a row. “What do you want to know?” 

“Errr,” he squeezes his eyes shut and sways his head trying to think of a question. “What do I need to focus more on right now?” he asks unsurely. 

I smile softly at him, surprised that he actually asked a decent question. “Perfect, now just really concentrate on that question and pick the card you're most drawn to.” He seems to hesitate a bit so I add “Don't think too deeply about it, just go with your instinct.”

He lets out a loud breath as he bows over the table to be closer to the cards. With a single finger he slides a card out slightly from the deck and then sits back, looking down at me tentatively.

Sitting on my knees, I take the card he selected and flip it over. 

“The magician? Really? What may this suggest y/n? Well, we're at school and maybe I need to focus on my magic skills.” he word vomits in such a patronizing manner I resist the urge to punch him.

“Will you just shut up Malfoy! Let me concentrate…” 

He lets out a sharp nose exhale but obeys.

“I think it suggests you have an opportunity to right a wrong, it's something you've been putting off but you finally have all the tools you need to be able to make it happen.” I look away from the card to him but his gaze is locked to his hands now. “This has really been weighing down on you, hasn't it? You just need to focus and manifest on the outcome. Is it… is it to do with your father?”

“What?” he lifts his head in a sharp movement at my final question. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, I told you this is all a load of rubbish. I'm heading back to bed.” He throws his half eaten apple into the bin. “As should you, we have potions first thing tomorrow and I doubt Snape will let you nap in class.”

“I’m sorry Draco…” I break, realising I had touched a nerve. “You don't have to answer me. Don't just… you don't have to leave.”

He runs his fingers through his messy white hair. “I just… well, I’d just rather not focus on that right now.”

 Draco’s father (Lucius Malfoy) is meant to be having his final hearing, for conspiring with Voldemort, this weekend and whispers all about the Malfoy family have been wandering through every hall at Hogwarts. Last year Voldemort had tried to take over the wizarding world and Draco (much to his parents' alarm) had apparently joined Harry Potter in destroying the horcruxes. Still, everyone was questioning his intentions. He has been putting on a brave face but it's obvious he's been more reserved since the news broke out.

“That's ok.” I try a sympathising smile. “I get it, I’m not trying to pry.”

“Yeah, well, you’re the only one then.” he says with a sigh.

I look around to try and change the subject, “what's your favourite colour?” I blurt out. I sink inwardly, was this really the best I could come up with.

Draco smiles, raising a brow. “Black.” he states confidently. 

“Ha, dytto.” I pick at the dry paint on my hands. “It reminds me of ink... and wolves... and outer space.”  

 “Yes, that. Also,  you always look great when you wear black” Draco chuckles softly. “Well, I mean not you personally. Although… I'm sure you also do look great in black. But I mean generally, no one can ever… really go wrong if they’re dressed in black.” A blush creeps up his face as he stammers over his words.

A funny little giggle escapes me as I watch him, a similar pink tinting my face. “I know what you mean.” I nudge his arm slightly, noticing his all black pajamas. “I think there’s still a certain skill in pulling off a black outfit though.” 

Draco picks up one of my paint pots and twists it in his hand, trying to look at anything but me, his blush deepening. “Yeah, I guess.” 

“You know, I would have pinned you more as a bright pink kind of guy myself.” I kick myself for trying to be funny but it lifts his nervousness. 

“Not quite.” His laugh is deep and sensual, sending a warm fuzziness through my body. 

“Do you ever paint?” I ask, signally to the pot in his hand. 

“No. I’ve never done any intricate stuff like this anyway.” he gestures to my cards. “These really are quite amazing.”

“Thankyou.” I try not to stare at his face as he studies my work, but the candle light bouncing off his eyelashes and his soft, bottom lip kind of tucking under his teeth is making it very difficult. “To be honest, I don’t really like them.”

“What? Why?” he shoots at me.

“It’s not very neat around here…” I point at the first card, I’d spent half an hour trying to get the shading right on the bricks of the tower earlier tonight. “And her hair just looks like a wig.” My finger grazes the back of Draco’s hand as I point to the Empress card.

“No it doesn't, plus no one else would notice these things you’re bothering about” 

“My mother will.” Quietly correcting myself, I add “would.” I clear my throat lightly to continue “And she would definitely reveal a few more mistakes as well.” I take in a long breath and rub my eyes. “I know this sounds terrible but sometimes I think it's not so bad that she's gone.” 

“Oh, I'm sorry, I… I didn't know.” He stretches his arm across the table towards me but stops just before his hand touches. “Are you OK?” 

“Yeah, I was never really close to her anyway.” I sadly shrug. I realise I’ve never told anyone else any of this. I'm clearly over-tired. 

“And your father?”

“He died when I was 3, I don't remember him. It’s why I’ve had to move here after my mum passed, Uncle Filius is the only member of my family that would take me in.” 

Draco questions in surprise “So it’s true. You are Professor Flitwick's niece?”

“The one and only.” I give him a side smile. 

“Hmmh, well, I know this means nothing… but I don’t think it's all that terrible that you don't feel bad you mother is gone. Sometimes parents aren’t as perfect as they seem.” Draco clicks his fingers and continues, “As you probably know, I’m meant to be meeting my dad this weekend. I have no idea how to explain myself to him. The last time...” Draco stops abruptly at the sound of footsteps coming from the hallway. Two 3rd year students walk in carrying a whole load of sweets whispering to each other in rapid conversation. Draco swiftly stands and informs them that they cannot be out of their dorms so late. They try to oppose but after a stern look from the tall, blonde-haired prefect they give in and return. He takes a second before turning back to me and saying “I think we both ought to go back to our beds as well, it has gotten quite late.”

I look up at him confused, “don't you want to finish what you were saying?”

He shakes his head while holding out a hand to me. “Maybe another time. I’m guessing this won't be the last time we bump into each other, here at this hour.”

I accept his tight grip and with a strong motion he lifts me from the ground. “No, I hope not anyway. This was nice.” I squeeze his hand gently before letting it go and picking up my things. 

His hand combs through his thick hair as he smiles shyly “It was.” He waits as I pick up the last of my books and we walk out together. As we get to the end of the hallway he stops and looks down at me, “are you sure you don't need help taking that stuff up?” I shake my head and with that he yawns. “Well then… good night y/n.” 

“Goodnight Draco.” I glance back as I’m walking up to my room and catch his eyes looking back at me. He instantly pulls his gaze away and for some reason I feel a little disappointed. Goodness me, was I really forming a crush on the Draco Malfoy?

Im writing a few different one shots that can be read on their own or in order for a full story. Here’s the masterlist!

🍆  :    your  muse  makes  a  suggestive  joke  but  my  muse  actually  acts  on  it .  *chuckles* this was bound to happen sooner or later. For my dear buddy, maybe a little more, Raph.

[❥   𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 Submissions Closed]

The night was wearing on and the movie marathon was starting to wind down. Raph had run out of popcorn a while ago and they were now down to the last few beers. The pizza had been demolished well into the second movie, and many of the other snacks didn’t make it to the fourth. This being the fifth movie in the marathon it was starting to look like it was time to wind down and wrap things up. It was past late and getting into early.

“Good thing ya don’t gotta work tomorr... er today, cause you wouldn’t have the energy, yer gonna be exhausted in a few hours despite all the energy ya got right now.”

“Eh, I don’t feel tired, but we are out of snacks, almost out of beer and that last movie wasn’t great.” Vicky leaned back and stretched. “I don’t work for a few days so a little tiredness wont kill me.”

Raph arched a brow at her for a moment. “I didn’t know that this was a vacation.”

“It isn’t, just lucked out to get a few days off in a row, scheduling magic I guess. So did you want to watch another, or have I worn you out for the evening.” Vicky laughed a bit at her slight innuendo.

“psshh.. As if. This is my normal schedule, I ain’t even close ta tired. You though, I can see ya passin out in like, an hour or so.”

“You are just being a tough guy, you think you can exhaust me, wear me out, hardly, you aren’t even trying. I would love to see you try and wear me...” Vicky paused digging a little more with her joke. She enjoyed teasing Raph and this was fun. “...out.. I mean..”

Raph turned slowly to Vicky, giving her a look that could only be described as incredulous. He got the innuendo, it wasn’t hard to get, she wasn’t really being subtle. The thing was, they had joked like this a lot and never really acted on it much. Sure they had a few make outs, shared a bed, slept together in a non sexual way, but it hadn’t gone all that much farther than some heavy petting and clear interest in going further.

“Ya want me ta wear ya huh? Did ya wanna be a finger puppet or a condom.” Go big or go home was one of his mottos and this was probably as graphic as he really got with her, but he was giving her the option to choose how far this actually went.

Vicky froze, just staring at him. She had not thought he would actually take her innuendo seriously enough to make an offer and now she had to think if she was going to decline the invitation or take him up on either. The thought of having sex, right now, all of a sudden out of nowhere made her nervous. She wasn’t sure she was quite ready to go that far, but at the same time, if not now then when? “Finger puppet? You aren’t going to throw your voice and make me say stupid things right?” 

Raphael laughed and shook his head. “Nah, I coulda worded it better, but it was funny and until just now, I wasn’t sure you were even serious or would even say yes, so did you wanna stay here or move into the bedroom, I am good with either.” He was still going to give her a chance to back out if she didn’t really want this, but with as much time as they had both spent dancing around the subject, maybe this was just the push they both needed to take that next step.

Vicky got quiet and looked a bit thoughtful for several minutes. “Lets go to the bedroom, will help me relax and maybe you could end up wearing me as both?” Her voice had a hopefulness to it, but she still sounded a bit nervous as well.

Raphael nodded and scooped her up carrying her to his bedroom. He was going to do this right. It was a long time coming and he knew that no matter how it started, this was going to end with both of them getting something they have wanted for a long time. He leaned down, kissing her softly before setting her on the bed and climbing in with her. “We go as slow as ya want and if ya say stop, I stop, ok?”. She meant so much to him and he wanted her to know if it got to be too much, they could stop. He wasn’t going to risk hurting her or losing her, just to feel good. 

Vicky looked up at him as he slipped onto the bed and hovered over her, staring into his bright green eyes. “I get the feeling, neither of us are going to want to stop.”

Translation: Julian Brandt season ending Interview with Ruhr Nachrichten (June 21, 2020)

Julian about...

...the reaction after the Mainz-game:

Ju: We surely deserved some criticism after the game. It wasn’t a good game. But I have to say it was a bit foreseeable because we didn’t play well against Düsseldorf before. Which we barely won. It had a bit to do with luck as well, sure. And I think it was important – especially against Leipzig – sure the season has been long and the mental aspect plays into, yet we have the ability to show our qualities. We showed a completely different face then the one or two weeks prior.

...the defeat against Bayern (0-1 loss):

Ju: It was a game where the stakes were pretty high. We definitely didn’t do ourselves a favor with the game. I think it was a great chance to get involved into the championship race. In the end – if you are seven points behind Bayern, they have such high quality – especially this year during the second half of the season. We knew to catch them would be difficult, or to hope they make a mistake. We should have made more points in the first half of the season as well as in direct games against them – or at least win one of them. Sure, you are disappointed first because you had many hopes before. That’s normal. But I don’t think it was the sore reason why one or two games didn’t work out for us. I’m mean it counts for everyone, but the circumstances are different now. If we play at the Signal Iduna Park and everything is empty, sure its different. We miss the fans.

...the fight for the Bundesliga title:

Ju: I think there were possibilities to put Bayern into a different situation, as it now turned out to be. If you take a look at the share of the points – I think we had 30 points in the first half of the season and now we have 69 with one game left. In the end its about how much pressure you put as a club onto the top team. It’s a different situation whenever you are five, six points ahead. I think had we won the game against Bayern a few weeks ago – and suddenly there is only one point difference – and they have to play in Leverkusen and Gladbach, its then it would have developed totally different in terms of pressure. When you perhaps do a mistake. Sure, Bayern can handle such pressure. But they are also human. But we had the feeling that it was almost over with a seven point gap in the end. For me we had to many draws in the first half of the season. We lost points. Whoever it was Bremen, Frankfurt, Paderborn... we could have made more points in those games and thus could have positioned us better. The second half of the season was good, I think. Also in terms of points. But sure, in the end it’s the direct matches against them. Like, we play well against 16 teams and when push comes to shove we don’t make points. So you have to win against them as well. Yet, you have to admit Bayern played an outstanding second half of the season. I think they had 15 wins in a row. So, that’s how everything went down and you have to get over it and startat the beginning in the next season.

...Emre Can and Erling Haaland:

Ju: They are very, very important players coming to us with Emre and Erling. On one head a striker, which was missing in our team at that point. With all qualities Paco Alcacer had, yet Erling is a different type of player. He is very physical. He is also very quick. And Emre, he is just there. He has a certain presence if you look on the pitch. Somebody who hits in between. Has very uncomfortable in one-on-one fights. Those are two types of players which we lacked as a team during the first half of the season. I think it would have been a different situation had they already been with us from the beginning of the season. However, we also had enough quality the first half in order to make more points. I wouldn’t make it dependent sorely on both guys.

...goals for the next season:

Ju: Of course, finishing second is a win in some sense. But we want “the big thing”. We pledged ourselves to be on the very top at the end and not behind another team. Before the Mainz game it was clear Bayern won the title, so sure it’s the goal to finished second from that point on. But it not as if you start popping champagne corks (smiles)... I think its important for BVB to finish second – even in the last two years. Sure, we showed that we wanted to be team which is hunting Bayern and we will try again next season. That’s why you participate in those tournaments – in order to win them (smiles) and not to say ‘Okay, well lets have a see what is possible’ and if not, its fine because we will finish second. We want to win those competitions. This year it was difficult, because of Bayerns second half of the season. Even if it would have been possible for us to make it, in my opinion. And I mean the second half of the season also gives us some encouragement, which we have to carry into the next season. Hopefully with fans. You all know it as well, its something special whenever you are in our stadium. But it can also lift you up.

...the BVB-season 2019/20:

Ju: Yes, the defeat against Bremen in the DFB Cup still hurts until today. The chance was big for us to reach the final. In terms of the season, I would say it was an up-and-down. Especially in the first season half. After that, is was more constant. Also in terms of points. Well okay, the Champions League was a special situation. We would have had good chances to get into the next round. But I would say the DFB Cup hurts the most, yes.

...potential for improvements for BVB:

Ju: We have to make sure to win tight games. Games where the first plays against the second, third or fourth placed teams. Those are a bit like those “all-or-nothing”-games. We lost against Leverkusen in February. Which was an important game. We lost both games against Bayern. We unfortunately in the first half of the season... and I had my part in that as well (laughs)... played only a draw against Leipzig. Which was important as well. And for me... those are games you have to pull through. You have to beat the teams around you if you want to stay on top. They’re like six-point-games. But you also have to take teams seriously who are down below in the Bundesliga standings. You cant play a 3-3 draw against Paderborn at home. Sure, we’re not machines. We are just humans. The fact you lose games is normal. As well as a poor performance. You can do that one or two times but the rest of the time you have to be on point. There is room for improvement for us.

...finishing second in the Bundesliga:

Ju: Sure, the reaction after yesterdays game... Mats did an interview as well. The fact you are not satisfied and the question is asked ‘Are you happy about finishing second?’ Sure, we a happy about the second place. Sure, we are happy about our win. And sure, we a happy about making the best out of our situation. Yet, we aren’t satisfied. I would grade our team as hungry enough to win titles and able to. Its supposed to be the goal. You have to set yourself high goals. We aren’t angry, but we aren’t satisfied with it as well. We want more. It didn’t work out this year for us, that’s true. You have to accept that. And you have to stay hungry, because you will need it next year. You need a exceptionally good year in order to finally make it. 

 ...Bayern Münchens self-confidence:

Ju: I mean its something Bayern has worked on very hard, that self-confidence.  I think they know about their qualities. But they worked on it for years. Having this attitude on the pitch as well. And I think its because of their hard work. It comes automatically, if you always manage to win, to focus yourself everytime. Its dangerous a bit too. You can become a bit careless. I think if I take a look at our team and our second half of the season; we made a lot of important wins. Suddenly, we did that as well as Bayern – also winning shitty games like against Hertha or Düsseldorf. So you thought: Okay, we don’t really play well, but we manage to win in the end. We got our self-confidence. We get our chances and we score and that could be enough. So I think we got that in ourselves a bit already. But this has to be in yourself over the entire season. There are games in the second half or the season, which we wouldn’t have won in the first half (smiles)... or perhaps played a draw... We had so many situations, where in the beginning of the season, us leading in Frankfurt... I don’t know, did we lead against Bremen? Freiburg... yes. We should have won. We had this feeling that we couldn’t let this slip out of our hands. And those are the difficulties... in that sense you have to take some hints from Bayern, because they wont lose such games. That’s were we have to get to. But I have a good feeling we can get there. 

 ...his first year at BVB:

Ju: Well, turbulent...!? (smiles)... I think there has been a period where I had to find myself in some way during the first months. I played on many positions and didn’t know many of the guys. Its all a bit un-harmonic. But I think I fit in now. I had a nice year, I have to say. With great moments too. I always like to think back to the game against Inter Milan at home. You could suddenly feel whats happening in the stadium. I have to say, I’m satisfied. Of course, everything can be better. I don’t doubt that everything will turn out the way I wish it will in the future. But for my first year its fine, given that many things often don’t happen like you anticipate them. Its fun to be here. With the guys, with the stadium. Its something special. 

...a possible Jadon Sancho transfer:

Ju: I’m positive. Of course you never know in football business. It’s adaily business. Today its like this and tomorrow its like that. The current situation with the crisis changes a bit in football. You have to look if transfers that big are still possible. But I’m not involved in that. I would be happy to play another season with Jadon. In the end its not up to me to make such a decision. I will hold my finger crossed that the BVB management will find a solution. 

...the BVB transfers:

Ju: Of course you are aware of that. There is a lot of speculation. You also like to play with it sometimes. I mean if there’s are rumor – independently whether its true or not – sometimes you can tease someone on the team (smiles)... and yes you sometimes show those news to each other... (smiles)... how should I say. It doesn’t influence me. Sure it may be different at Bayern, but that Leroy Sane-story is running for eight months now. I’m not so sure whether they are still keen talking about that in interviews. I think that’s the case everywhere. Many talk about Jadon or Achraf. And it’s the same in Munich. Or in Leverkusen many people talk about Kai. It’s normal. You got used to it. And it’s somewhat a part of it as well. Rumors being floated. Personally I’m relaxed about that to be honest. Of course I want to play in a top team next year, like we had this year. But the guys there at BVB are doing a superb job. In terms of players we got this season, in the winter with Emre and Erling. I don’t think about that too much. They will manage everything and I’m sure we will have a great team on the pitch next year.

...a possible players union:

Ju: I absolutely like the idea behind it, especially now during the corona crisis where many players are saying we want to be consulted as well. We want to be asked about stuff. How we can manage stuff. If we even stand behind certain decisions.   But I have to ask Mats about details (smiles), since I really have to know the idea behind it. So I cant really say much about it. But generally I approve the idea of players collectively being represented. To be independent. Because there are many decisions being taken without us players having any input. Okay, in the end we are just employees as well. We don’t get to decided everything, that’s clear. That’sfine. But still there is stuff, where you want to get included. So I think its good,with Mats and many players are now being involved.

...the current corona-situation:

Ju: First of all, physically we all feel well. Even though we have many injured players which you can see on our bench. It was exhausting however mentally in your head, if you include the time before the break. I don’t know, but we are just at home for sixteen or seventeen weeks now and try to follow the quarantine rules as good as we can. Even now where many things start to re-open again, we are still at home. I does something with you at some point. You don’t see a lot of people. You get to see your family and perhaps a friend, but not many other people. I think everyone is happy, when everything is over. Yeah... so you can regain some freedoms again. Going outside. Sitting in a restaurant or whatever... I think it will be good for me. And I’m actually happy that the season is over, because I have high hopes that the gates for fans in the stadium will re-open again. In the end... and I just felt it recently: in the beginning you were a bit euphoric because you can play football again. But in the end its no fun without fans. So it would be nice, if perhaps a we can play in front of fans in some form, because football is for everybody.

aw lin mo :’) finally gets to sit up at the top

OOF XIKAN BRINGING UP “聽聽我說的吧" to cheer on shengen!!!!!!!!!!! 

man, im amazed shengen is doing so well but this just makes me think of ip when all the kids loved shengen and cheered his name and wanted him on their team. hes well loved and i think that says something about how he treats his friends. im sure he gets a lot of hate bc i think that happened during ip even, but i respect that he doesnt let it get to him. hes definitely capable. 

ugh xikan’s speech is so moving.... im just so happy for him and proud of how far hes come. hes really been through a lot of turmoil in the last 2 years and a lot of it was out of his hands due to trash management, but he did what he could do to take advantage of the time he had and he still has so much potential. im amazed he didnt cry

aw momo hugging him with a “you still have me” and xikan admitting he was super nervous :’) 

LOL zuo ye and hwx JUST NOW realizing that they shouldve picked some lower rank kids to be in their group otherwise shouldnt win bc other kids need the opportunity to be saved.... rip

oof momo being like why this question again... bc he knows theres no right answer.

ahh xikan cries for dxy 

ylq running over to ycw to celebrate even before cyc gets there hahaha aww

andddd ofc ycw is crying LOL lin ran trying to comfort him (repeatedly) is like a real older bro

aw qby and csp’s friendship is really a mutual taking care of one another. csp needs someone who will push him out of his shell and extend him warmth 

honestly i havent cried up until this point, but when ztc reached out and grabbed syh i literally burst into tears with tears rolling down from my eyes and i just could feel how hard it must’ve been to be in that position and im just grateful that he picked syh bc hes right syh does need this. im so happy for syh and its so sad how his first reaction is to apologize for his friends. so sad for sbh bc he deserves to stay too but he hasnt been as lucky as his other qcyn friends to get more attention 

OOF im so glad they didnt show who renyu wouldve picked bc honestly i dont want it to ruin their friendship and im glad they found such solace in each other’s company. im grateful at least youku gave us this group and allowed them to be saved. im grateful at least they have the confidence to know they deserve to be saved. 

OH WHOA zhan yu got the highest score in Everybody!!!!! good for you child!!!!!!!

wow rip the fact that obsession was fourth just makes it so much worse bc it feels like the other cto kids contributed to shiwei getting eliminated and its just oof UGH ZIXIN HAS TO TALK 

aw sun boran coming down to sit with shiwei bc he knows he must be hurting

zixin running back to xue en and crying his eyes out 

wow theres so much going on here...

and the way shiwei says he hopes ycw can protect himself now he wont be around to..... oof

 aw we got zero star master family interactions but mxy cheering for tyger :’)

ugh shiwei being crowded by zixin zlj and gz and xue en’s just watching and crying beside them. and then shiwei runs over to chaowen whos just... destroyed. i guess he cant protect him forever :( it’s a shame, he was so close to making it

qby calling syh his best friend and csp his best teacher and csp saying he’s his friend too LOL aw csp just wants a friend 

UGH CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS

i saw enyu at number 2 and literally choked on my drink

also zhan yu and lin mo at 4 & 5?? wildddd 

man i still think its wild that jin fan was 22 overall, wow such growth

i guess its kinda nice that they put in some extra, old footage of the eliminated trainees 

i guess theyre trying to cheer them up by taking them outdoors next ep. i’ll look forward to it. 

still kinda shook about shiwei though bc he really could’ve made it :\ really a shame that the 3rd and 4th groups werent able to save anyone but i guess we should be grateful at least the whole vocal group was saved. also im just amazed and so proud of Everybody ranking higher than Obsession!!!! my children!!! proving themselves!!! against all odds and a group of highly popular children im just so amazed wow they left a big impact on the audience :’)

[prorevenge]

Dont mess with the guy you're cheating off of

(Not sure if this is pro-revenge or petty, but I feel like its Pro)

Here`s a story of why you don’t piss off the smart kid. I went to a Catholic High School, and as such we were required to take a Religion class each year. So freshman year, the class was History of the Church, not exactly an easy subject, but easy enough if you just study a little.

Now there were about 30 kids in my class, and it was assigned seating, so I was placed in the back of the room. I didn’t mind, i did my homework and passed the tests, so i could just chill in the back of the room for the whole class. So come time for the next test, I had studied, so i was breezing through it. (The test format was half T/F and half multiple choice) So even if you didn’t know anything you still had a chance of passing. The teacher is patrolling the room to look for cheaters, when he goes by my row and gets out of earshot, I hear a little call to get my attention. Its the guy next to me, he needs help. Sure okay, Im a nice guy and Ive been known to cheat in the past. So I slide my answer sheet to the side of my desk since I had finished by that time. (There was the question paper and a scantron for the answers, but we were allowed to right on the question paper as well) So i turn my paper over, and slide the Scantron to where he would be able to see it and make it not obvious I was cheating. Come the end of the class and he thanks me. No big deal.

Flash forward a few weeks to the next test.

Same deal, I finish quick and then he asks for help and I comply. I didn’t really like the guy, but I didnt hate him either. Whatever. We both pass and that’s that. However what I didnt know at the time, was that after the second test he was bragging that he was cheating off of me during the test to other guys in the class. So then they asked him to share his/my answers after I had given them. The third test comes and goes and at this point I still think im only helping one person.

So come the fourth test and hes feeling a little bold. He asks me to leave my name off of the question sheet and just mark the right answers. And after the teacher passes by we’ll swap the papers since I already have my answers recorded. I’m not thrilled at this, but whatever, its just one person. Except it wasn’t. It was 7 people this time. Fine whatever. If they had asked me beforehand I probably would’ve helped them anyway. But they took advantage of my kindness. And so I let it slide during test #5 but my annoyance was still there. The chain had clearly grown from 7 people to 15 people. I didn’t particularly care if I was helping them pass a class, but then one day, one of the a**hole kids in that chain of people in my class thought they could mess with me and get away with it clean. And that was the last straw. I asked my friend in the class to be careful on the next test. He knew me well, and he knew what was going on. He was well aware of how mischievous I really am. So I told him to tell the 4 people in my class that I liked to actually study for the next test. And it was a big one. It was a double chapter test.

So I studied my ass off, and went into the test like everything was just normal. And after some light probing, I found that nobody else except for me and my 5 had studied for this and the ENTIRE CLASS was going to be relying solely on me to let them pass this big test.

Score!

So I put on my happy face and told them not to worry, it was business as usual. And so I finished my test, filled out my scantron and flipped it over. And then I handed it off, with every single answer marked wrong. Except for the very last one. I also told him to have him fill out his paper and switch it as well to spread it through the chain faster.

Checkmate.

A few days passed and it was time to get our tests back. My teacher comes in holding 6 papers in one hand, and the rest in the other hand. He then called up me and my 5 friends up, gave us our tests and gave us a pass to go to the library for the rest of class. As I picked up my things I said one thing that went unnoticed by the teacher.

“Thanks Joe for this …” (not the a**hole kids actual name)

Turns out the teacher chewed them all out for cheating and they tried to pin it on me, but I had passed the exam. Furthermore had the foresight to make sure they changed one or two answers on previous tests so it wouldn’t be exactly the same answers. I did this,so that if our answers were compared, they wouldn’t be identical like cheaters would. So when the teacher looked back at my tests to see if the class,was right, they got into more trouble for trying to frame me.

All in all they got a week of detention, and the lost the opportunity for a retake on the test that I got a 98 on. Their overall class average dropped about 10 points and mine actually raised 2 points. They really screwed themselves over with this.

They tried to gang up on me after school, but I was untouchable. I was always within sight of a teacher, and all of the teachers absolutely loved me. I was a perfect angel (even though i was chaos incarnate in that school). And even if i wasn’t within sight of a teacher, i also had the combinations to their lockers, as well as other things. If they did anything to me, they didn’t know what might happen to their stuff.

So they didn’t attack me, but the class remembered what I had said, and then they ganged up on the a**hole that led to the chain reaction. Wasn’t my problem anymore.

(Side note: the school wont allow any locker changes or lock switches, so they were trapped)

[black-wolf877]

Work Day Part: 3

Once the wall closed behind Wilford, Black sat down and let out the biggest sigh. “God this is going to be a long one I can tell. Will almost killed me and could of when he slammed the wall behind me that was just luck there.”

Black stood and exited from the entry room to go see what Sargent Robinson had for him next. He found her in the security room looking at the camera feeds. Each giant had a camera in there room and then there was some throughout the whole facility.

“Well Black that was very interesting to watch most times we lose the new ones on entry day. Thought we lost you both times, we are going have to train you to handle them more. Around here we run the show they are just here because we let them be here, and we chose to let them live.” She turned back and look at Wilford cam feed in the feed you see him walking back and fourth talking to himself. “ How about we turn on and see what this monster talking about shall we.” She turns on the sound and Black started to hear what Will had to say.

“Speaking to me as if I'm lower than him, that little creature! If I didn't have this *thing*, around my neck, he'd be crushed in my hand already." He paced back and forth in the cell dragging his claws along the walls. "My name put everyone in fear, now I'm being put at the will of.. humans. How shameful."

She turned off the sound and looked at Black. “You see what I mean they don’t think anything of us, we are just things that are lower then them and should be following their orders, or doing what they say as if we were their pets.” She thought for a bit then Sighed “Black we did some digging to see who this giant was and well we have no idea no hunter has ever came back to tell us who he is so as of now he is a John Doe in the systems. Your task is to find out who he is and to make sure this one lives, he is to great a prize to have die on us. The power he has will come in hand with the work around hear and we could use him to help hunt other giants.”

“Yes mam, that sounds like a easy task to do, I’ll start tomorrow with putting him to work.”

He salutes and walks out the security room, while walking down the hall he couldn’t shake what the giant had said. Wilford thought so low of his kind, that he would of just up right and killed black with no hesitation. Black now saw what all the upper commanders meant, these things are just monsters who would do anything to get out. Black walked by Wilford cell one last time before heading home for the day. “Tomorrow I’m going to put him in his place and he is going to know who runs the show around here”

The next day in Briefing he meet the captain and the other new recruits who started with him. You hear a guard yell “ attention! Captain Night here to give you today’s briefing.” Night looked at all 20 new people and had this look as if he knew half wouldn’t make it in the first three months.

“Alright Rookies my name is Captain Night I am the founder and head officer of this jail.” He pointed at three of the rookies “You three get your giants suited up they are going to the arena since they are up on death row, and for the love of god don’t end like the their old officers and get crushed by them. The rest of you can have them either work in the fields, build, or take them out hunting for new gladiators for the arena. That’s the mission for this month we will call you if plans change. Good luck to you all” He turned and walked out the room, everyone else went to their giants and got to work.

Black started to make his way to where Wilford’s cell was, just like when he was in entry Will was trying to bang his way out. Black talked in to his radio to head control “Open cell 71419.” The cell door slide open and Will stepped out giving black the most death look as he stared down at him on the walk way.

“Alright Colonel time for you to make your earning here you can work out in the fields today, build or serve your time this month helping hunt your own kind it’s your choosing” black knew he didn’t like being called Colonel but he did it just to push the beast buttons.

Wilford wanted nothing more than to kill the little thing where he stood but for his own sake only growled loudly. The last he wanted to do was kill his own that didn't deserve it. "Take me to the fields." If looks could kill, the way Wilford was glaring at Black, he'd be dead ten times over. Black could feel this look and it sent shivers down his spine. “Fields it is come on start walking, and no funny business it wont end well for you...trust me.” Black started to flash the remote and Will just growled and started walking.

It was a bit of a way to hit the outside where the fields where so black decided to ask  "So will in the cell you said we would fear if we knew your name or we should... why should us hunters be scared of a giant that could get caught by us?"

Wilford stopped in his tracks, black could hear this low growling coming from the giant. "I was only caught because you creatures played dirty. You all talk big now because you have me, but before, even the thought of you hunters being in my presence made even the so called bravest quake in terror." Wilford tilted his head at Black, eyeing him down like prey, eye slit but not red. "Just because I'm here doesn't mean I'm done in. I suggest, if you don't wish to be our dinner, you watch your tiny backs." Wilford stood up straight, puffed out his chest and huffed.

Black saw the looks in Wilford’s eyes, this beast really think he is better then us. “ Well these tiny backs caught you with easy. Also this tiny back holds your life in their tiny hands, so I think it’s time you start learning who your talking to boy” Black could tell this was going to be a long life with this one, he could now see why no one ever came back to report about this one. The bravest of the Association was probably played with, tortured, then killed so no word got out about him and we could never find the body’s.”But wait we never heard anything about you none of those hunters ever reported back to HQ...so what happened to them.” Wilford just look down to where black was on the walkway and laughed while patting his stomach. Black knew what that ment the reason why no one came back, the reason why no body’s were found is because this monster ate his comrades. Black didn’t know what to say he wanted to just kill him right now, but he would lose his job and that’s not worth it. 

When they got to the fields you saw a huge wall with hunters patrolling it armed. On the ground you saw some on horse back keeping a closer eye on the giants while they worked, some where planting and others where either watering plants or picking crops. The hunters that where on horse back looked to be the ones assigned to that giant ready encase anything were to go on. While Wilford was taking in the site of what was happening he saw one of the giants collapse from being in the heat all day. The hunter assigned to that giant started yelling at it “Come on you lazy dog get up and get back to work you’re not done for the day.” He hit his button and the giant started yelling, the yelling stopped and slowly tries to get up with no luck. Will saw what was happening and started to make his way to help but his collar ends up shocking him and he drops to a knee. He could hear a horse running near him and on it was Black. “Now Wilford I didn’t tell you to move did I, your job is not to help them but to work so grab a basket and get picking.”

"If you keep doing that he's going to fall unconscious. " Wilford growled out, trying to stand up to his feet, he didn't want that giant to pass out in the baking heat.

Black was started to get annoyed with how Wilford kept trying to do whatever he wanted, as if he was top giant in here and the rules didn’t apply to him. “Well that’s not your problem colonel I brought you out here to work not be a hero!” Black hits the button on the remote again “Now go grab a basket and get to work or else.”

Wilford fell over, holding his neck. Wilford's head snapped over to Black, his eyes red. He looked over at the downed giant and his "caretaker" and back to Black before his eyes slowly faded back to pink. He grumbled and growled lowly, standing up and got a basket and went to work.

Black rode the horse as Will went to work finally. “Now see how easy it is to just listen and follow my orders. But since you tried to do your own thing and not follow orders you lost your food for tonight and tomorrow morning. You have to learn that around here we run things and there are consequences to you not listening. So get use to following orders, because this is your new life.”

As the day finished out in the fields and the sun started setting Will’s work day was over. “Alright Wilford days over put the basket up and head for the showers, then straight to your cell for the night.” You see the giant stand up and wipe the dirty off his hands. As he walked pass black he had this look like he wanted to just kill him all afternoon, but headed in took a shower and made his way to the cell he waited for the the door to open. “This is Black open cell 71419 were done for the day.” Wilford walks in and sits on his bed, as the door shuts you hear Will tell black “I hope your ready for a bumpy ride, because first chance I get your mine.”

Fourth Friday YJ appreciation

1-3 ; 4-6 ; 7-9 ; 10-13 ; 14-16 ; 17 ; 18 ; 19 ; 20 ; 21 ; 22 ; 23 ; 24-26

—————————— Exceptional Human Beings

- Is this... Batman works with Oracle. It’s the same tech than Nightwing! 

- Yes! These is Katana and Metamorpho! I already love Metamorpho facial expressions! The scene from the trailer! Santa Prisca, Bane’s island! They’re so efficient! (Yeah, I have in mind the first time of the Team on the Island...) 

- Is it thanks to Jade’s intel? So they will save Tara? :D

- Victor Stone? So this is Dr Silas Stone! I saw the movie, I know Dr Stone wont have time to go... Oh! The Reach tech is back!

- And it’s Steel or John Irons. (Why every person choosing a English name comes with John?)

- Did... did Metamorpho just turn himself into a fart? Seriously? Katana in the background and the indignated face of Metamorpho xD

- Sex implied, definitely mature content... Is it really the time to talk about Dick? You know what I mean... Wait, was that a joke? Like a subtext joke? 

- Training Time! Forager’s sounds are so funny! 

- Violet fell because she was blushing and Brion uses his powers because he was blushing. They’re cute! :3 

- Nightwing definitely knows Batman is on Santa Prisca already and knows Brion will likely get himself killed with his actual combat skills...

- Deathstroke in the place. Oh she’s Cassandra, Savage’s daughter (yeah a lot of Cassandra this season!) 

- She knows Tara! Now she’s is used by Granny Goodness... And Cassandra seems to... like her? She is a different character than Scandal (who is lesbian) right? Because I don’t want our first rep to be a pedophilic rapist, thank you very much... We already had Slade for that in Judas Contract... 

- “I have observed that.” Definitely thinking about her sister Olympia :(

-  Victor’s team! “I would ask Wonder Woman out!” “Me Black Canary” *Vctor rolls his eyes* Are we wasting screentime for straight idiots? (and I mean it in both ways) Just a question: do you think Victor could be gay with his reactions to the “straights comments”?

- “Cisco, a superhero?!” Well, Francisco Ramon will be a superhero one day (but I don’t know his powers yet.) Don’t worry my dear, a lot of people love Zatanna! He’s a Spanish speaker, from where? 

- Victor don’t appreciate the bullying but not interfere :( But he’s so above their shit! 

- Boo-yah is back! I can’t believe they also gave this easter egg! 

- Batman or how burn someone with only words! xD

- “I always hated that name too!” Why don’t you change for you mother name, Arty? :( 

- Violet Harper, I love how the writers connect the dots between the comics and what happens on the show! 

- JADE! I love how she’s smiling, like she considerates it. We know she would love that. Why could hold her back? How could she think they don’t need her? Because of her father? Football... er I mean soccer is just a lame excuse! She’s crying! She definitely loves them! :’(

- Katana VS Lady Shiva! OMG Katana also uses a wakizashi (a short saber) with her katana like a samouraï :o 

- “Bulletproof. That’s annoying” We already know that line but still funny xD So Metamorpho isn’t fireproof? That’s his true form! 

- Oracle time! 

- “No, no my guns!” Seriously Bane? Metamorpho just blows them a kiss xD

- Booyah! Someone is still using the goggles... Poor Vic :( “I see great things in your future” while showing a FatherBox. I don’t like it... I know the story but still don’t like it...

- Brucely! (Or Bruce Lee?) Such a good boy!

By the way, Katana never talks. She took a vow of silence after her sensei dies.

—————————— Another Freak 

- First, I don’t like the title. I dislike even more the wiring from the Reach tech... 

- There’s a bad father/son relationship (I mean with fights) each season, isn’t there? “Scene/seen. Now you’re boying me?” I love the dialogue! I know I could hate the wiring... The “dad” at the end broke my heart :’(

- “But Brion Markov’s attitude will soon change! :D” Forager knows what’s going on between those two. Forager is a Haloforce shipper! Human Forager is so cute!! “Be careful on the boys! They only have one thing on their mind!” “What one thing?” *embarassed Brion* “If we arrive with the councelor and the principal, all the other kids will love us!” My poor summer child... “No flying at school!” xD

- After gory Halo, here’s gory Victor :( And here comes the Fatherbox so bad news?

- “I’m so happy to be here it makes me sick” Violet is still dealing with human emotions. Stay whelmed! Or could it be the Fatherbox? 

- Is that Terra with blue hair?? And... freckles? (she has the same character design that in the animated movie) Oh she’s Harper Row. My bad. The whole conversation was hilarious and cute!

- Victor’s still alive!

- Of course, access denied. Nightwing knows he would do it. He did it as Robin first! And of course Nightwing appears! And now they’re fighting...but with it Brion could speak his heart out.

- “How they could know us if they don’t interact with us?” I know Forager. Most human are most judgmental at first sight... 

- “Are Violet and Fred freaks?” Oh no sweetie don’t think that :( “But Fred must look like a freak...” He refers to his human form. It’s logical. Would you feel like yourself in an alien form? “Freak is cool.” Exactly! “Two hands only” xD

- Victor is freaking out. Naturally. So... he goes... violet when the fatherbox takes control? Like he calls to be heal.  So the violet color has a reverse meaning for a fatherbow than for a motherbox, logical as they are the two faces of the same coin.

- Harper is so sweet! 

- Whoa new aura: indigo (between blue and violet). So we still don’t know what blue aura does (and black aura, but I’m not sure it exists). What does it do? She opened a Boom tube? 

- “I’m not an abomination. I’m a freak.” That’s the spirit. That’s my girl! 

- Pleasedon’tmurderhalo! pleasedon’tmurderhalo! Yes! She’s okay! 

- She’s healing him! Poor Vic, he’s so confused. “My work here is done.” Violet is so cute! 

- Silas trying to find a common thing with Vic is sweet but yeah.. Vic would feel like a rat lab, ask Ed. “Can I go with you?” His voice was so heartbreaking :( Victor prefers to leave to not hurt his father again :( Yeah he’s angry, it’s understanding. At least, he’s alive right? 

- Kind of ironic they boomed tube in a football field...

- Brion is finally moving forward! :D 

- Lobo’s finger begins to morph. Slobo on the way!

—————————— Nightmare Monkeys

- Tork from Mars, seriously? xD M’Comm should be so pissed... 

Was that the Wilhelm scream? 

- “I have practice” My heart :( 

- it’s Paul who played Conner in Hello Megan! What time had done to you? Gar’s look when they talked about Marie :( Paul is his godfather! And Rita his godmother. Steven is his stepfather? That means he was with Rita, right? He’s Mento? “Thanks God.” I think they both don’t like the situation but still try to play their part... 

- I don’t know if this seashell alien is real or just a costume...

- We were right! Halo IS a Motherbox! What happen to the script? Now we can predict things :( She’s... the reincarnation of the dead Motherbox Doctor X and Psimon studied. So Queen Bee works with Vertigo, since Psimon works for Quee Bee. So Gabrielle Daou consciousness died, murdered by Bedlam’s minions and the Motherbox soul regenerates/resurected in her body because she needed a vessel. But Violet still has some of Gabrielle’s memories via the brain, but maybe not her thoughts or emotions?

- I love the Emerald Crown teasing! Was Gar talking about his mother(s) when he said queen? That needle doesn’t seem good...

- “And now he tells you to be patient...” xD 

Sphere, stay whelmed! And... the Fatherbow is awake again... And... Conner is shirtless again... Halo has clearly no idea what she’s doing. So cute she calms Sphere down :)

- So that doesn”t sound good... Encino, what/where that could be? 

- “He’s dead, Tom.” What that the voice of... WALLY??? And all the dead heroes in the grotto... I mean Watchtower garden.

- Great! Supermartian know how to communicate now :) “Alone time” Weren’t you have a “intimate” time in a bathroom two episodes ago? “Date night/Secret base” Yeah Wolf me too. They got the communication, not the understanding...

- “The Reach... I mean the Klamulons” seriously? 

- Tula, Ted Kord, Jason, was that the chronological order? I thought Ted was the last one. That’s why in season Tim went to Jason’s hologramme. Ted Kord died during the Summer break and they were in February. So Tim was a really young Robin! 

- Wally speaks to casually about their death. “Who’s next? Guess it’s me.” Does that mean he’s not dead yet? But could soon be? Wally’s death scene reminds me how good the previous style was... RIP too! “Cancel the show already?” I heard the 4th wall break down.

- DOOM PATROL GO! WHAT’S THE HECK?The 4th wall is collapsing in a firy explosion. 

- Garfield also collapsed. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! 

Rita Aka Elasticgirl with Starfire’s voice. Chief with Robin’s voice. Robotman with Cyborg’s voice (more like Cyborg’s father xD), Negative Woman with Raven’s voice. 

- Steve Dayton is indeed Rita’s husband; So Rita adopted Garfield when Marie died? She did! 

- “Sorry your mom(s?) died!” The song. “Just say goodbye to your second mom!” Rita and Marie were together? Was Rita bi/pan? “Let’s die!” 

- Of course M’gann save the day, back with her season 1 appearance. The whole Mento’s speech is how Gar sees the situation right? Not the truth right? “I was 14.” Wait, all of this (except Marie’s death) only happen last year? 

- M’gann is there to save her brother!

“Sure you’re even born yet?” This joke could also work with Bart. Man, if Bart was in that episode... 

- “Queen Bee wants her honey back!” That was a lesbian joke right? The first rep of this season would be Queen Bee? Being Bi? (Why in English bi is pronounced like by and not bee? Do you see the missed joke here?) 

- “Let’s watch the episode you were in.” Season 2. The pieces of the 4th wall break again. 

- “Shut it down.” “I can’t hear a heartbeat.” He meant the channel, not the heart, Wally. Wait, was it a death wish because Gar can’t handle with all the mourning happening in a few minutes? 

- Reminder: Beast Boy’s metagene was activated by Martian transfusion and a bite from a green monkey. 

- Mass conservation? Is it a clue for Wally’s return? Like his mass was conserved somewhere when he was desintegrated? A place where he can save Garfield from the Goggles? How can Gar remember Wally’s death if he wasn’t even there?! But he appears as the green monkey to show a parallel? Between the monkey and blood transfusion saving him and Wally saving him now? 

- Come back as a hero my boy! 

- “Are you real or is this all in my head?” Ask Dumbledore, kid.

- M’gann is in the place! White but with a green aura. 

- Yes, I think it was a distraction to cope with all the trauma. 

- “Ready to get back to reality. Ready to get back to the life.” hero life? It was both litteral and metaphorical. 

- Perdita who don’t understand the Team’s slang :) Gar, did you teach anything to her? 

- Garfield finally understand that Gretchen is a bad guy. But it feels off as we already know it. The Evolution episode should have happen after this I think? 

- Emerald Crown is so cute! Their kiss was ok, but why M’gann are you doing the same in front of your brother?

- Haloforce kiss! After we finally understand who Violet is! But I would like to see the moment which brings to the kiss :(

- Sphere!

- Of course Wally won’t come back until part b or even the end of the season, will he?

—————————— True Heroes

- It’s Halloween! Halo and Forager are adorable as usual. 

- Poor Vic :( Halloween cancel and Violet can’t come :( Forager drives bioship xD (Such a weird sentence...) 

- Tara is 15, same age than Bart and Gar.

- Dr Jace had a little girl. who was taken from her. Was she meta? It’s thay why she started to work with Bedlam? To have intel to find her? Or did Bedlam blackmail her to make her work for him? That’s why she’s is so overprotecting with the kids? 

- “You’re be my little girl for tonight.” That sounds creepy, right? 

- “I know I said pretend I’m not here but I’m.” Yeah, Dr Jace, maybe not the best way to explain where the teenager hormones lead to... 

- “Vulnerable” weaks the Fatherbox up. Great. And it’s because she is vulnerable, Dr Jace tries to be closer?

- Cameron (Icycle Jr) and the Terror Twins grew up so much... And not in a good way. I miss the Twins’ design in season 1. They get uglier each season, bad guy cliche. But Tommy could be the Bad Blue Beetle from Bart’s future, they have quite the same morphology and Queen Bee sold Chimmer to the Reach, why not him too? 

- Holocaust?

- Wolf attacking the Fatherrbox. 

Dr Jace just took a violet ray and if they’re like Halo’s yellow one she should be badly injured... Not just inconscious. 

- Emotions turn off Halo’s powers? They just activated them! 

- Earth VS FIre. Terra lost :( 

- Stay Whelmed, Brion! 

- Psimon out! Wait, did just Devastation called him baby? 

- Tara is free!

- And Holocaust is with a Queen Bee’s minions. 

- Family reunion!

- YJ is now a scary movie. Maybe it’s just panic which shut down Halo’s powers? Fight Vic! “The problem is I had too much.” So it was panic. Now save him!

- Yeah, go save the other kids! 

- The conversation between Junior and SB is so chill (no pun intended) and funny. “She was my girl.” “But I was into her.” Dudes, it’s not a competition or a race, just let the girl decide maybe? 

- “Maybe that means there’s hope for me too!” Redeem arc foreshadowing? 

- “Ow.” Junior plays dead. 

- Can we appreciate SB’s combat style? 

- Princess speech! 

- The Black girl speaks French? Who they could be? Anita?

- League and Team squads were successful” I wish we could have seen them :( 

- Dr Jace activated Tara’s metagene on the blackmailing to kill her :o 

- Princess speech! :D 

- Violet cry of joy is so cute! :) 

- “M’gann’s gonna kill me.” xD 

- Wait, why is Dr Jace taking Violet’s, hair? 

- “They’re ready for the Team!” We’re gonna go our children back! But maybe give Tara some rest?

- “I’m in.” So we go for the Judas Contract storyline? Or that is a mislead?

- Wolf in the Bioship!

5 months to wait now :(

Devenford Prep Part 33

Hello Readers,

It has been a long time since I’ve updated this fic. I’ve had this update for a while and have been waiting to post it. I’ve been really busy with school so if there are errors in this update (sorry I’ve been away writing other things). Also I just wanted to give you guys what I have. I hope you all have been doing well and feel free to send me messages. 

“Let’s go!” Brett shouts and yanks you up the bank of the ditch. 

“Really?” You shout stumbling. “That’s the first thing you're going to say to me in 4 days.”

Brett takes off into the woods away from the trails and back toward Devenford Prep, you without hesitation follow behind him. Back at the school the two of you run into the school building and toward the boy’s locker room to hide. Quickly you hide behind a row of lockers.

“We need to talk.” You say catching your breath.

“Shhhh,” Brett says placing a finger over his lips. “It’s in the school, I can hear it.”

“I can hear it too,” You whisper and roll your eyes. “God it smells terrible in here, can’t you guys clean up your shi-”

Brett snatches you by the arm and pulls you over toward a row of metal open lockers. The contents of gym shorts and t-shirts were spilling out onto the floor. In the distance there was a loud, heavy breathing. It sounded hollow and like it was trying to catch a scent. Then it got quiet, you snap your head toward the tall boy beside you and his eye flash yellow making your body got hot for a second. 

The creature appears instantly in front of the two of you and Brett shoves you across the room, you collide with a bench and fall to the ground. He flings his hands out and you catch glimpses of his claws. You could smell it in the air, he was angry and you could hear his heart racing. Quickly he shoots one of his feet up and kicks the creature in the stomach. It slams into a row of metal lockers, denting in the metal. Acting quickly, you get up and charge it, your fist makes contact with the bone helmet producing a loud crunch, it doesn’t crack or break. 

“What the?” You say looking down at your fist, it goes red and heals.

The locker room door busts open and a boy walks in. The berserker fades away leaving Brett and you alone in the room in a ready stance.

“What’s going on?” The boy asks looking at you and Brett in a defensive stance. “Is everything okay? Look man I heard the two of you were having a hard time, but you don’t have to fight a girl.”

Brett runs into one of the shower stalls and turns the water on. The boy looks at you up and down. Running a hand through your messy hair you slowly take a few steps toward the door awkwardly looking at the guy who had walked in. You rush out of there quickly.

“So-sorry,” You say. The heavy locker door shut. “We weren’t fighting.”

You jog over towards the girl’s locker room, sloppily pull on your school uniform, grab your things, and text Erika to meet you are Deaton’s. You google the beacon hills address and send it to Erika.

As you walk out you slam into a warm body. Awkwardly you jump. 

“We’ve got to go,” Brett says and you look up at him. His hair was wet and his white uniform oxford top was hanging off him loosely, unbutton, exposing the solid rock hard body that he had. You licked your lips and took a breath in. Brett speaking again ended your stare. “We need to talk to Scott.”

“Already ahead of you Talbot,” You say holding your phone up. “Just texted Erika to meet me there as soon as possible.”

“You really shouldn’t be bringing everyone you know into this. I know she was there that night and knows about us,” He comments while side eyeing you. Brett sets off to the front door of the school and walks out. “I’m sure Scott isn’t happy about this.”

“Oh no you don’t!” You shout walking out behind him. “Erika is my best friend and Liam’s girlfriend! Scott wouldn’t care! I care about Erika and I need her okay! Scott has told his human friends.”

“That’s a way to get the ones you love killed.” The tall boy says walking down the steps toward the parking lot.

“Oh yeah?” You perked up. “Oh yeah!?! Loved ones killed? I’ve almost died three times! Once because of some ridiculous assassin chick, then Garret went all edge lord, then…”

“Then what?” Brett asks stopping in place. He turns around. “What Y/N?”

“You!” You shout, you could feel your nails shifting into claws. “You almost killed me and then didn’t…forget it I’m not doing this now.”

“Might as well talk about it now since you’ll probably almost die for the fourth time soon.” Brett crosses his arms. A dangerous smirk appears on his lips.

“God you’re such an asshole,” You say unfazed. “You’re really the jerk you’ve been since day one! Don’t forget to go by Deaton’s too to make sure you don’t go all what’s the word, rogue. Again. Why don’t you get back with Samantha while you’re at it too because I don’t care anymore.”

You quickly walk past him and jogged over toward your car, you needed to get to Deatons and meet with Scott and Liam about the encounter. Brett appears instantly in front of your car.

“What do you want?” You ask reaching for your keys in your purse. “You want space then have as much as you want. I don’t think you understand the concept of friendship or whatever pack mentality really is…”

“Listen,” Brett inches in closer leaning up against your car. “I know pack mentally, but I stayed away from you for a reason, you needed the space.”

“You don’t know what I need,” You say frustrated, you unlock you car. “Didn’t I tell you I wanted you around that night? Couldn’t you see it? Smell it or sense it? God you’re so aloof Brett.”

“I almost killed you!” Brett shouts his eyes turn yellow. “You could have died! I could have killed you and I’m dealing with that. Why would anyone want to be around their killer.”

“It was out of your control, but you know what is in your control? How you’re handling this,” You open the car door and throw your bag in. You close your eyes for a second trying to hold in a secret, but it forces it’s way out. “I’m scared Brett!”

“We all are scared.”

  “You’re honestly the only person I feel safe around these days. I can’t bring my family into this, they are practically strangers to me now. I don’t even feel the same around Scott,” You look aways feeling something strange in the pit of your stomach. Your chest goes heavy. “And now since you’re distancing yourself away from me, I’m really scared. And it’s like I’m losing control over myself again.”

“I don’t understand how you can’t be scared of what happened,” Brett says. “It changed everything.”

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’re friends Brett and I’ve saved you two times now? I’ve lost count. But it will take more than you trying to kill me to get me to leave. And you didn’t try to kill me on purpose. I’m a little hesitant to be around you because of whatever was in your system might still be there but I need you.”

“Need me?” Brett looked away feeling uncertain. “So you can have a place to crash or someone to help you-”

“No, It’s not that.” You get into your car and sit down.

“Then what is it?” Brett leans into the car.

“I’m tired of this Brett, I’m tired of this back and forth between us. It was fun at first, but it’s gets old at some point. Why can’t we just be normal, I don’t care what people think anymore. I don’t care what your lacrosse teammates think, what Samantha think. What Erika thinks. I really don’t care what Liam thinks either.”

“I don’t either,” He says. “I’m just conflicted.”

“Trust me, me too. It comes with the package.” You reach up and poke Brett on the forehead. 

“Hey!” He says back away a bit.

“Just get in, I’ll forget that you were being a total asshole the past 4 days.”

Brett got into the car and buckled up. He turns to look at you. He was itching to say something. He stared.

“What do you want Brett?” You ask. “You’re staring. I know I look like a mess.”

“I need to say I’m sorry,” Brett looks out the window and then back at you. “For everything. For how I treated you in high school up until now.”

“It’s a little late for that,” You say stabbing your key into the ignition. “Not too sure one apology will make up for all the times you made my life a living hell.”

“But I can make up for it,” He breaths. “We can truly try this pack thing out and we can get Scott involved.”

“Scott is involved.”

“But I wont let anything happen to you,” Brett whispers leaning in toward the driver’s side. He places a hand gently on your left check and guides your face closer to yours. Quickly he presses his lips to your forehead. As quickly as his lips found your skin they disappeared as he sits back in his seat as if nothing happened. “It’s more than owing you after what happened. One day you’ll find out, if you already haven’t found out.”

“Whatever that means Talbot,” You turn the key and rush out of the parking lot. “Can you do me a favor.”

“Yeah sure,” He says running a hand through his hair shaking it’s wet strands. “Anything.”

“Can you ugh,” You take one more good look at him, his pecks and his abs. You curse under your breath. “Can you button your shirt up.”

“It’s a little warm in here,” He smirks, side eyeing you. “Am I a distraction.”

“No, totally not a distraction. You a distraction?” You quickly turn your head so your eyes were facing the driver side window. Your eyes flashed. You curse under your breath again.

“I do have great hearing.” He says. “but if it’s really an issue I’ll button the shirt up. The ladies love it, you should be thankful that I am so comfortable with being shirtless around you.”

“Oh come on,” You say reaching for the button to turn on the music in your car. “Save it for later Talbot.”

“I’m saving it all for you baby.” He says laughing.

“Save it for yourself…you know those long sessions in front of the mirror in your bathroom…”

You pull into the parking lot of the Vet’s office and parked. Brett quickly jumps out of the car stretching his legs after being cramped in the front seat. 

“I should have drove. I’ll be driving from now on.”

“You could have to at least finished buttoning your top,” You roll your eyes and reach up to finish buttoning his top up. Your fingers brushed his skin and he shivers. “Are you okay? Is something wrong, do you feel like you’re being affected by that wolf’s bane?”

“No I just.” The office door bursts opens.

“Are you guys okay?” Scott rushes out. “Am I interrupting anything?”

“No,” Brett shakes his head and takes a step back. “Nothing.”

“We saw one of those things.” You start to say holding your hand up pointing to the air. 

“Those things with horns.” Brett continues the statement. 

“And it didn’t hurt you?” Scott rushes over concerned. “Or you?”

“No.” Brett says half way stepping in front of you he puffs up his chest.

“Calm down Brett.” You say trying to push him away from you. “It disappeared, but he tried to hurt us I think.”

“I’m starting to think that this is all a collaborative effort of some sort.” Brett nods his head.

Madison Reacts To: The New Bandori Set Again

bandori got a wedding set for pastel palettes today!! this is like the what fourth one but i have no problem with it so lets goooooooooo

(please keep in mind that i dont mean to offend anyone with these! this is just for fun so if your best girl’s card gets a bad rating from me that doesnt mean i hate her as a character (i actually like a lot of these girls tbh). these are just my opinions, respect mine and ill respect yours)

4 STARS

Our first 4 star is Aya! I have no idea why she’s crying to Chisato here but something must’ve happened... I don’t wanna see my girl cry :(

Trained version is really cute! I’m kinda iffy on the mismatched socks and the, uh... expression on her face but other than that she’s cute! 4/5

Our other 4 star is Chisato! Yes despite Aya being right next to her this is a Chisato card. It’s really cute though, look at those girls................... theyre gay jim

Trained is actually so fucking adorable oh my god. I’d complain at the socks again but they’re not as visible here so I can live with it bc oh my GOD shes cute. The only downside I can think of is that the expression is once again a bit odd, and that the background is a bit too similar to Aya’s. I know theyre all on the same stage but it kinda looks like they just copypasted Aya’s bg onto Chisato. Though I wont degrade this one too much bc shes so fuckING CUTE LOOK AT MY GIRL 4/5

3 STARS

Here’s our Hina! This is her second 3+ star in a row but hey shes cute. Idk whats on her phone but Chisato seems interested.

Trained is really cute! I know I say that a lot but shes cute. And hey look the socks are matching! The oooooonly minor downside is that the background is a bit distracting but its still cute overall! 4/5

Now for Eve! I’m not sure why everyone’s crying in this set... what happened ladies

oh my god im looking at an actual angel right now. look at her. look at her. LOOK AT HER! eve gets all the best cards out of all the pastel palettes istg. 5/5

And finally Maya- ooooooooh shit shes crying again. WHAT HAPPENED MAYA BABY WHY IS EVERYONE CRYIN

Trained is really cute, once again! The expression, once again, is a bit..... weird but that’s abut the only thing I can think of thats off about this card. 4/5

Aaaaaand that’s all of them! I hope you enjoyed my little review, and make sure to let me know if you want me to review future and/or previous sets! Seeya next time! ;D

[heyitslapis]

Ok let's see... its been about 3 weeks since i posted last, give or take a few days. And I'll just say its been an interesting and exhausting few weeks.

Still trying to completely get over my dumbf*ck feelings for Alex. I'm not really doing a super great job at that, and still get random depressive moments that last a varying amount of time, but usually i just push my pity party to the side after about 2 minutes.

On the 3rd of June, Alex went up to see part of her family and join them on a cruise to Columbia. She said wont be back until maybe the 3rd or 4th of July at the earliest. I kinda miss her, but I feel like spending a month physically apart from her will do me some good. Her and i still snap back and fourth to save our streak and to day good morning. Whenever she cant find wifi, she turns on her dad's personal hotspot so she can send me at least one snap to keep our streak rolling (we are the longest streak we have with anyone on our snapchats, and it stands currently at 261 days.) The day after she left the streak sorta died for the day, but she was able to save it cause she was in a different time zone.

Since she's been gone, we've hired several new people at work, many if which being new hosts (thank God tbh, cause this means after theyre all done training and get a couple weeks to get used to everything i can train as a server and hopefully make a little more money). One of them is Giovanni's sister (Gio is a guy that works there. Mostly does dish, sometimes hosts.) And apparently she likes me? About a week before she started they came in to eat with their mom and after they left Gio was like "Dude, i think my sister likes you."

Hey, some random girl actually has a crush on me for the first time in my life? That's cool! Right? It would be, if she weren't 17. If i were still 18 or 19, i wouldnt really care. But now that im 20, even though we only have a 2 year and almost 6 month age difference, i still feel like its weird. I feel like im in a whole new age threshold now that ive hit that 2 decade mark, and she just seems to me like a kid. Anyway, Sammy (thats her) is bi with a preference for girls. She's very forward about asking the girls at work about their sexuality (she'll be mid convo and just be like "wait; you straight?") She makes a hobby of flirting with the straight girls, because as she says it, she can easily flirt with straight girls bc she knows she wont have a chance. As soon as she knows theyre bi or gay, she cant even really talk to them. Sammy flirts with me in excess, has asked me 3 times if im straight, or if im sure that i am (homegirl has only been here like two weeks), and the reason why is because she would happily let me break her heart, and has said thats its too bad im not gay bc if i was she would let me crush her. Also has told me that i remind her of her ex girlfriend, and when i said idk if thats supposed to be a compliment or not, she said "well i really liked her, so..." Oh and btw all 3 times shes asked, I've told her im straight (yknow, bc im not out to the irl general public) and I'll just say that having to lie outloud about my sexuality does not feel that great. Thats not something ive ever had to verbally do before, and now i understand. Tbh i dont really lie, or at least i very rarely do, bc i dont like it, and i want to be seen as trustworthy. i have told my share of lies in my day, but i feel like that was in the top 3 worst lies ive ever told. Simply because i know thats not who i am, yet im saying it anyway.

Besides that, in these last couple weeks ive:

Gotten my computer hacked and almost got scamed out of the piddly $120 dollars total that is in my bank account for me to try to live off of until next Fridays paycheck, and almost got my brother's bank account hacked (looong f*ckin story. Short version, im a gotdang fool, and people are absolute bastards), so now i cant use my computer until i get it looked at, which means no art (sucks bc i wanted to draw myself a bi pride icon)

Put in 103 hours at work in the last 2 weeks

Had our only available car break down twice

Got about half of our kitchen painted. Still need to find time to finish it

Purchased tickets for a convention, and bought almost everything i need to finish my cosplay.

Have a sore in the back of my mouth thats been plaguing me for over a week (finally starting to heal. Its been hurting to do so much as talk, much less eat or drink)

Had to deal with everyone's attitudes at work (some sh*ts going on with the moon and everyones been a pissy ass lately, and im so over it)

The pain in the ass girl at work that we've been trying to get rid of for over a year called in and quit 15 minutes before her literal last shift (Father's day) and our proprietary manager told her "its bullshit that you just found out that your other job scheduled you to work today 15 minutes before you had to come here" and "dont try to come back to this store again". Im ecstatic about it tbqh and feel a small sense of victory about the whole thing.

One of my favorite gays from work had his last shift Saturday night and im still sad about it.

It may not seem like much but its just all around every other day something else small happened to add to the weird and crazy smorgasbord that is my life.

Also bless Sammy bc yesterday was Father's Day, and because of that, i was in the building of my work at 9:45am, started working to get set up at 10, opened around 10:50, and didnt stop until about 8:50pm, 10 minutes before we closed. Our proprietary manager bought us tons of pizza and snacks in the middle of our shift so that we could all take turns having a 10 minute breather, but other than that it was non-stop work and dedication to the customer. At 9:50am my brother went to the Duncan Donuts down the road from us to get the handful of morning people either coffee or bagels or whatever they asked for. I told my brother to get me the english muffin with egg and cheese, and if they had the option, to add sausage to it. Also to tell Sammy i said hi (because she works at that Duncan also, and was there yesterday morning). My brother comes back with breakfast, hands me my food and said that Sammy made it especially for me. (At that time i was also in a bad mood bc i was tired from working four open doubles in a row, and was stressed, so that really lifted my spirits a bit. The food, and the thought that someone made it especially for me.) And i'll just say she just earned my love for the next week at least.

Anyway i think thats all for now loves. I dont have a very eventful life, but i sure do have a busy one.

#my life #avatarkorvira speaks #poor sammy thinks im quote ''really cute'' and ''f*cking adorable'' and im kinda glad she thinks im straight #like her second night training with me she asked how old i was and when i said 20 she said ''damn'' #then later when i asked her age (even though i alreadu knew she was 17) she refused to tell me specifically #like shed tell anyone else (including my sister) but not me #and you see at work with certain people ill be like playfully flirty with them just as one of the many ways i show friendliness #like i do it to alex and heather and marissa and molly and several others. but theyre all adults #i know for a fact sammy is a minor. so i told her im not gonna make crude or flirty jokes with her and she doesnt like that #also i just realized that i only joke flirt with girls at work #mostly thats just because im more comfortable with the gals. that and every guy there is either annoying or nasty #and i wouldnt be able to interact with them that way without them making it really gross or thinking im actually hitting on them #and if i ever truely hitting on any of the guys at work someone smack me in the back of the head bc ew #alex #sammy

Day IV: Day Harder

I did a bit better last night.  Only a page or so, but its progress.  Ironically enough it wasn't writer's block that cut me short.  I actually forgot a lot of the dialog that took place during that session.  I remember the outcome, but not the details of the important beats.  Which sucks for me because I remember it being a great scene, with lots of tension.  Plus, as I mentioned before, it was a great evolution for the kitty cat character because when we first meet him, he's just a mess.  Wise cracking, catnip smoking, needlessly cartwheeling shit head.  Now he is an interim council person.  And he's slaying it.

 So I reached out to the person who plays the character, Meffrey.  Yes, to see if he could remember more of the details (he didn't), but also because I clearly remember him saying that he didn't really get across all of the things he wanted to say in the moment.  So I wanted to give him the opportunity to get that out now. Besides I'm not going to be able to make this story a direct transcript of what happens in our gaming sessions. Some parts are boring, or are just unnecessary for the reader.  Other parts I just want/need to inject my own will on the story.

 For example. Currently my players are in this cast underwater research facility. It has almost a dozen floors reaching down towards the bottom of the sea. Encased in Ice on one of the lowest levels is an ancient sea creature that can read your thoughts, pluck out your desires, and use them against you.  So I left many little subtle clues in the rooms leading down. Plus I had these great scenes planned out for each character where they would walk into a room and see visions, supplanted by the beast, bringing out their worst fears.  Really creepy stuff that would add an element of suspense and (hopefully) fear in the players.

 However…. Anyone who has been a dungeon master for more than 5 minutes knows that your players will always find a way to derail your best laid plans.  In my case, these Mother F'ers found a maintenance hatch.  As a result of some clever use of skills and spells, were able to circumvent THE WHOLE GOD DAMNED THING, and went right to the bottom of the facility.  I mean, I can't really be mad at them.  I'm not the kind of DM that would punish them for good planning just because they didn't get to see the cool thing I wrote.  Yes I'm a little but hurt, but it happens.

  But now I am in full control.  And you can bet your sweet ass that this time these jokers will be going through the facility the long way. AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. No, I'm not bitter.  Why do you ask?

 Ok rant over.  Where was I? Ah yes.  So Meffrey and I had a short chat which garnered no progress in my quest to remember shit that happened two months ago.  I have recap notes, but it's not enough.  So new thing I learned today: If you are going to make a novel out of your gaming session, keep better notes.

This is my fourth day in a row chronicling my attempt to write this book.  While that’s better than I thought I would do, the strangest thing is happening.  The more I do this, the more I get the feeling that I am going to give up on it. I keep wanting to say "I can skip one day".  We all know how that goes right?  If I skip one day, a second day is no big deal.  Etc etc.  When I first tread that blog that told me to write everyday I was all like "Heck yeah!"  Then I came down off that initial surge of motivation you get when you start a project. I was more like "OK, you don't need to write EVERY day.  Just stick with it on a semi-regular basis."  I'm pretty sure that won't work though.  If I don't discipline myself, it will never get done.  

I did some thinking, which was super difficult as there is no shower here at work. I will likely skip the second council meeting for now.  Wait for either Meffrey or myself to have a flash of inspiration on the subject.  I think I’m going to try and push through the block I had earlier and get these yahoos to the thing.  I can't avoid it forever.  I need to treat it as something to do in order to be rewarded with scenes I do want to write.  Like eating my dinner so I can have my ice cream after.

 I’ve been mentally assembling a group of story testers.  They say you should have a few people that you can send your first or second draft to in order to get feedback.  They should be someone you know and trust but who wont just say “it’s great”.  Meffrey is obviously on the list.  My wife will be as well, though I fear she may lean more towards the “it’s great” club.  My father will be on the list as well.  Yes this book will be geared towards to fantasy loving crowd.  But if I can write in a way that even my father can understand my worgs and druids and kobolds and whatever I am going to change warforged into (copyright Wizards of the coast inc), then that would be awesome.

You can't see anything on it, but you guess that it's probably a little more advanced than what your computer was capable of back in grade school What we have is a screen of buttons and a list of plot lines and a bunch or characters who are either important to the story or just there for you to kill You're not really sure how much you want to play with this thing though since all of these games seem pretty cut and dry, like they're going to be exactly the same no matter which one you choose Throw it up there let us see it Plot -Bunny's right, it's better if you choose since A: You're the mastermind behind all this and B: You'll enjoy it more that way Press the button with a flourish, we have work to do Plot-Bunny's right, Unseen story Try to incorpate in to mechanics but descriptions are nice too You can pay others to use their creations, or even make your own a separate items with a single coin ; (much smaller than the gold coins) A "Creations for Coin" topic will be started, but it is not necessary to use it First impression of character -creation What can you character do with what abilities they have?

What kind of relationships will you make with them? That's all down to choice my friend, choice Your grade for This is going to be decided by a poll on "What was your favorite questline? " along with other things, ex: "What was your Favorite Line? or "Did the ending meet expectations? " so make it count!

Remember the idea is to create a simulation of a physical space so that you the reader can learn logic gates So keep interaction in mind when you are moving through each page! Maybe the reader does not focus on the details difference with each new reading but the programmer watching you will see if there is any pattern or repeatable strategy There needs to be a bit of adventure for flavor but mechanically the entire story is built with interaction in mind Finally the idea is to create a computer simulation of a physical space so that you the reader can learn logic gates without all the tedious work I believe this idea could be applied to other in-demand career fields as well; from medical technicians to kindergarten teaching Where a robot design to protect a snapping turtle baby malfunctions and does not disappear when dead and effects the swamp opera around them The snapping turtle baby also metamorphisizes as it grows up The interaction between the swamp creatures and the robot as well as their mannerisms are used to represent bits and bytes of information That second paragraph was for you programmers trying to solve out the sim Just think binary if it helps!

I would also like comment on the image of R2-D2 above the robot design I am a big time star wars nerd and carrying that over into the design was a no-brainer for me But what you may not know is that this robot design was made by one C-3PO! The players make the game unpredictable by selecting which wires to cut If the wrong wire is cut then the robot may misread a command and turn hostile!

Jake Voracek’s Sobering Words About His Team Are Spot On: Thoughts after Penguins 5, Flyers 2

The air in the Flyers locker room was thick with something after last night’s 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

It’s not that easy to describe its aura, but I’m pretty certain it’s the same one that pervades all locker rooms and club houses of Cinderella story teams who come up just short.

This is what it must have been like when Gordon Hayward’s half court heave came tantalizingly close, but ultimately missed, as Butler fell in the National Championship to perennial powerhouse Duke a few years back.

Or when Jameer Nelson’s jumper from the foul line went off the rim and Oklahoma State, not St. Joe’s, danced into the Final Four in 2004.

Or probably most akin to Loyola Marymount, riding the emotional wave of playing in the tournament following the death of their star player (and Philly native) Hank Gathers on the court in the West Coast Conference tournament and going on to make a dramatic and unexpected run to the Elite Eight, only to get snowed under by the best team in college hoops – UNLV – missing on their own miracle run to the Final Four in 1990 – which happened to be the last time the Lions made the tournament.

Yes, that’s three college basketball references in a row to start a hockey story. But hey, it’s March after all, and the madness of this month does work its way into other sports sometimes.

And the Flyers are a perfect case. They’re an up and coming team, no doubt. They have two elite superstars in Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek. Sean Couturier may have stepped across that star threshold this season. There are several young players to be really excited about – a few who are significant contributors already – like Travis Konecny, Ivan Provorov, and Shayne Gostisbehere.

And led by that quintet, the Flyers became a real fun story in December, January and especially February. They rocketed from last place to first place in the Metropolitan Division. They amassed the third-best record in the NHL over a 37-game stretch – which is a good portion of a season (45%). They put the NHL on notice that this scrappy roster full of no-quit players was going to be a hard opponent to play against night in and night out.

They overcame a 10-game losing streak. They built a 12-game point streak of their own. There was – and still is – a lot to like about the Flyers. It was a darling of a story.

But, lost in the feel-good vibe the team was emanating for so long, was the fact that there were still concerns, still issues that could, at any time, once again rear their ugly heads and rain on the orange an black parade.

Enter the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The most-hated rival. The two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions. Captained by the most hated heel in the history of Philadelphia hockey – Sidney Crosby.

A berth for first place in the division was on the line. Surely, this would be a game where the focus was precise, the execution near flawless, the pace breakneck and the emotions running white hot.

And for much of the first two periods, the Flyers were right there with arguably the best team in the sport. In fact, for a while at the beginning of the second period, the Flyers were actually taking it to the Penguins.

But then, in what seemed like an instant, but was really half a period, it all went south. Pittsburgh thwarted two Flyers power plays, and then scored quick goals after each and added a third tally off a neutral zone mistake, and that was pretty much all she wrote.

The third period was fruitless. Pittsburgh added an empty-netter and beat the Flyers for the third time in three tries this season, scoring five goals in each game.

And the players were left to try to explain what went wrong. It wasn’t a poor effort. It just wasn’t good enough against a superior team.

It left players mad. Frustrated. It led to Giroux saying the Flyers power play was “shit,” after going 0-for-5 and running their performance over the past six games to a paltry 1-for-19.

You can sense they all knew what the real issue was, but were all too prideful to say it out loud.

That is, until Voracek faced the media circle (circus?).

Jake is nothing but blunt and honest. He truly may be the best interview in the locker room. He tells it like it is. And from his perspective, he spit what was really the truth that so may others don’t want to face:

“I don’t know what you guys saw up there (in the Press box),” he said. “But… we’re playing good teams right now that are on top of the standings, with a lot of experience so sometimes it shows that we are not there yet.”

And that’s OK. Really, it is.

The Flyers are not the Pittsburgh Penguins. Not even close. They’re not the Boston Bruins, who they play tonight. They’re not the Tampa Bay Lightning, who beat them last Saturday in a wild shootout.  They aren’t the Winnipeg Jets or Vegas Knights, the next two teams they play at home.

The Flyers are on the come… just not yet.

Here’s the thing; when you don’t have unrealistic expectations, and you just let the team be what it is, you can see the fruits of the labor that Ron Hextall has done to slowly put this team together.

Sure there are frustrations that still exist. There are veterans taking up roster spots for an entire season that would have been better served by having a younger prospect with more long-term benefit to the team playing instead.

But that ship sailed already this season. Now the Flyers are trying to make a playoff push to prevent missing the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since the early 1990s.

Now, you have to go with what got you here.

And what got the Flyers here was the group of guys on the ice last night. It had them playing a game on national television for first place in the division in March. If I told you at the beginning of the season that would be the case, you’d be thrilled. Admit it.

But now that they lost the game – and have dropped four straight – the fourth streak this year with at least three losses in a row (10, 3, 4, 4) – even though first place is still a possibility, last night’s game was evidence that it’s not, nor was it really ever a realistic goal.

Pittsburgh is too good. The rest of the division is mediocre, so coming in second is not out of the question – and neither is missing the playoffs entirely.

Woah. Hold up Ant. What the hell are you saying? Miss the playoffs entirely? Are you smoking some of that same stuff A.I. was in Charlotte the other night?

I get it. It can be viewed as an overreaction to another loss. And I’m not saying they are going to miss the playoffs. I believed it earlier this year. I said it repeatedly in this space that the Flyers were just a .500 team and likely not going to make the playoffs (which, by the way, they’ve played 67 games and won 34 and lost 33. That’s pretty close to .500 wouldn’t you say? And that’s for those of you out there who were mocking me for calling them a .500 team a couple weeks ago.)

But now I’m on board. This team is going to make the playoffs. I don’t think an epic collapse is hiding in the weeds here.

There is cause for concern though. There is a potential to feel a little tightening in the general area of the sphincter. They are eight points ahead of Florida, who is the first team outside of the playoffs, and that’s usually a pretty solid cushion with just 15 games to go, but the Panthers have three games in hand. There’s no guarantee they will win all three, but for the sake of argument, let’s say they do – well then the cushion is all but gone and a very tough schedule still remains, which could make for some hand-wringing and the talk of a collapse even more deafening.

But, I think the Flyers are good enough to play .500 hockey the rest of the way, and if they do, and finish with 94 points, that should get them in the postseason. Whether it’s for a first round series against Washington or as a wild card playing either Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay, the Flyers will be there.

But, this team is not ready to make that Cinderella run that we are wont to see this time of year. No. They could beat Washington – maybe. But they would be toast against Tampa or Pittsburgh. You could see why last night.

Now, I can highlight the mistakes from last night, but why bother? It’s the same things that plague them every game. Their defense lacks speed and when they attack five strong and turn the puck over in the offensive end, there are usually odd-man rushes created against them.  They get themselves in trouble with the puck by either holding on to it too long or making an ill-advised pass attempt. Their second pair defense is truly a third pair being forced into second pair minutes and the guys playing third pair are really just seventh defensemen. Their goaltending is not up to snuff. The penalty kill is not good. If the power play struggles – as it is right now – they don’t score enough because they don’t have good scoring depth. The coach makes curious matchup decisions that seem to blow up in his face (Val Filppula against Crosby? Really?)

They stay in games – and win a lot of games – because they have character, grit and determination – and that’s why you should like these guys – even the veterans who get a lot of crap from Flyers Twitter – but they aren’t anything more than what they are.

Listen to Jake. He’s on the team. He knows.

They’re getting there. The process is moving along slower than you wanted it to, but they’re getting there. It’s baby steps. Make the playoffs this year – maybe be more of a contender next year – really make the push in 2020-21.

Just not now. Just not this year. And all it took was one more game against the Penguins to show everyone that for certain.
