#as if he didn't do the same thing to Giovanni like last week :
ghetsis · 1 year
Note
oops he sent ghetsis some of his incompetent grunts again :/
It wasn't an uncommon occurrence for someone to manage to sneak in to Plasma HQ on stolen credentials. And the intruder was nearly always someone from Rocket (who else would know where to find him?). Rarely were they competent enough to make it past security. As was the case with most of today's onslaught. The one who managed to creep by cobbled a story about having crucial information of the highest sensitivity to be brought to Ghetsis.
That alone was telling. There were proper channels, for one thing. Few grunts actually wanted to face Ghetsis, for another. The ones who did want his attention were generally smart enough to try and earn it rather than demand it. So when the word came in of just such an individual wishing to speak with him, all Ghetsis could do was sigh.
Tumblr media
"Send him in. After a thorough pat-down."
The disarmed grunt was shoved into his office like a goat into a tiger's cage.
"So, what is it," Ghetsis asked. "What is your dire message?" Annoyed boredom drenched his voice.
The grunt stammered something unintelligible as Ghetsis searched a drawer for a letter opener.
"Never mind," he interrupted. "I already know why you're here." He stood, the dull blade glistening in his weaker hand."
"You're here because you are among the most worthless agents Giovanni has in his ranks and this is your one chance to give value to your life. He wishes to insult me with your ineptitude, but you have at least surpassed your comrades, so I will grant you the chance to accomplish your mission."
He looms over the Rocket, offering the letter opener handle first.
Tumblr media
"Go on then, give it the old college try."
The grunt stood on jelly legs, eyes darting between the tool and his target. This didn't go how he expected... He didn't want to try anymore, but he had his ultimatum: Come back with Ghetsis's head or don't come back at all.
A shaky hand reached for the offered weapon and Ghetsis's strong arm struck like a viper to seize his would-be assailant's throat. He lifted the Rocket off the ground and squeezed tight as the man kicked and gagged.
"No wonder he has no use for you..."
He squeezed tighter until he felt a satisfying crack beneath his fingers and Rocket's struggling ceased. His victim was unceremoniously dropped and Ghetsis returned to his desk to make a call.
"Have the body disposal team sent to my office immediately. And send the corpse back to Kanto, I am not cleaning up Giovanni's trash!"
Tumblr media
Hmph. Irritating...

RAW 20/11/23
Good guy, Drew
Tumblr media
Raw beings Drew McIntyre is in the ring as he explains his actions from last week when he cost Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes the Unified Tag Team Titles. Drew’s reasoning is sound. Anyone in his boots would have done the same. He also said that he wasn’t a part of Judgement Day but was given a chance to step into Wargames to fight Jey in a cage. Jey eventually comes out and not one word of sympathy from this man’s mouth. The Judgement Day arrive to back Drew up, as does Cody, Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn for Jey.  Things were about to kick off before Adam Pearce stops everyone. He says that the main event will be one member from each team in a singles match. It came down to Drew and Jey. This was a no brainer. Cody says he has an old friend in mind as the fifth member of WarGames. It’s obviously, Ted Dibiase JR.
The first match was Nia Jax vs. Raquel Rodriguez. They had a short but decent match. A few times, Rodriguez tried to lift Jax, but her back kept giving out. More deadlifts are required, I say! Nia eventually wins with the Annihilator.
Becky Lynch faced off against Xia Li. This one was a bit disappointing story wise. Li has been setting her devastating kick, that caused stoppage for both her last matches. Li did catch Lynch with her kick, but Lynch came back to win the match. It would of be great to see the kick at the very start, and then Lynch has to fight her way back. I don’t like Li’s chances tomorrow night when she faces Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women’s title *UPDATE* Li lost.
Things got frosty post-match when Damage CTRL made a surprise appearance. Charlotte, Bianca Belair and Shotzi also came from Smackdown. A brawl broke out. Michael Cole wanted everyone to fight because Cole is a mad bastard. This was another nice build to WarGames.
Ludwig Kaiser and Johnny Gargano had a solid match. The tilt-a-whirl faceplant from and death valley driver from Kaiser were two fantastic looking moves. Unfortunately, Giovanni Vinci came to the ring to try and help Kaiser, but caused a distraction. This gave Gargano the advantage to win. Later Kaiser to get a verbal whipping from Gunther. I hope to see a Kaiser and Vinci match down the line.
We had a match to find out who will become the number one contender for the Women’s Tag Team Titles. It was Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell vs. Tegan Nox and Natalya vs. Maxxine Dupri and Ivy Nile vs. Kayden Carter and Katana Chance. This was short but fun match. Carter and Chance had some sweet moves, while Dupri showed the most charisma. I didn’t like Natalya and Nox winning. I just have no interesting in them.
The Miz and Gunther had a battle of words in the ring. Miz says he is an entertainer and is proud because he grew up wanting to be like his heroes; Macho Man, Bret Hart, Rick Rude and Shawn Michaels. Gunther said the Miz is a weirdo who was bullied in school and was bullied by his heroes when he arrived in WWE. I don’t think anyone mentioned bullied the Miz. Gunther tells the Miz that he has no respect for him and that he deserves to be bullied. Gunther shoved Miz a few times, until Miz attacked, but was quickly put down. Miz came back when he resorted to a low blow. I hope the Miz loses at Survivor Series, and then goes on a journey to get his mojo back.
Chad Gable and Shinsuke Nakamura and an alright TV match. This is the second loss for Alpha Academy tonight. This stable need some wins. Like Dupri, I would have liked to have seen Gable getting the victory. He could have won. then you could do a second match where Nakamura gets the victory, followed the rubber match.
The main even was advertised as an advantage match that has gone to Judgement Day and Drew. This match felt non-aggressive for two people that hate each other. Post match had another brawl with everyone. This time the babyfaces left with an announcement that Randy Orton is the fifth member of their team. They didn't mention him by name, but Cody dropped some major hints.
This was a decent episode. Some solid matches and progression for the WarGames matches. My nitpick is that there were too many backstage segments. I hope Raw goes down to two hours so all this backstage nonsense can be shortened or dropped.

In celebration of Giovanni getting past the preliminary round you remember that little concept crossover I posted last month if Giovanni was in Lost But Never Found?
Well I am once again borrowing @enthblaze boy
This takes place the day after the initial reunion.
It was late at night, the city lights glowing neon. The stars barely visible under the smog and clouds high above.
A familiar sight. One that Indigo had grown to know over the last five months.
He was perched on a rooftop, overlooking the busy city below, far above the crowds and crowds of people.
And far...far away from the lair.
He had slipped out late at night, putting as much distance between himself and everyone there.
His...his head hurt.
Its been...a week for sure. Regaining memories he didn't know he lost. Of a family he didn't think he had.
Finally, finally everything made sense, why he constantly felt so out of place for months on end.
Because he truly didn't belong with them.
He had a family. Raphael with his short temper and heart of gold, Donatello who is as brilliant as he is kind, Michelangelo who lights up the room he enters and who can pummel anyone into the dirt.
And Giovanni. His twin. His amazing, wonderful twin brother. His other half, the one who stayed by his side through hell and back, always there after everything.
But of course, as fate would have it, they all stayed the same, after nine months.
At first he was so happy to see them all again, they were all safe.
However as the hours dragged on, that same feeling he had for five entire months came back, stabbing his heart like a hot knife.
Le-Indigo is different.
So...so completely different.
Harder, rougher, merciless, scarred to hell, with so much blood on his hands.
Not the confident, dorky, mother hen of a leader that his brothers knew.
He changed.
He changed so much.
Indigo saw it on their faces as they looked him over, eyes tracing over every single new scar, the new gear and the new mask.
Not blue...Indigo.
Stained by the blood he spilt.
There was worry in their eyes, mixed with confusion and pity.
They felt sorry for him.
He couldn't stay there, knowing that he was so different from how he used to be. From how he was supposed to be. Old memories clashing with new ones.
Was he a Battle Nexus Champion? Or was he a cold blooded killer?
A dangerous threat? Or a symbol of hope a symbol of the clan.
Who was he?
"Leo?" A voice asked. A familiar voice.
Indigo turned his head to see Giovanni. His twin was standing at the other side of the rooftop, having just climbed up.
"Oh hey...Van. What are you doing up?" Indigo slapped a smile on his face, shoving his thoughts deep down below. Everything was fine! He had his brothers back! He should be happy!
So why can't he feel anything but alone.
"I could ask you the same thing." Giovanni walked over and sat down next to his twin. Indigo inched away.
"I needed some air, thats all." The two sat there for a bit, just taking in the city's nightlife.
It was Giovanni that broke the silence.
"Leo what are you really doing up here?" There was no accusation in the question. Regardless, Indigo stiffened.
"i already told you I needed some air."
"You are still a terrible liar." There was an attempt at a joke, a light-hearted tease. He could remember Giovanni had said that so many times when they grew up. Now it just feels like another knife.
"Why are you lying?" The green clad turtle looked stunned at the question.
"What?"
"Why are you pretending that everything is fine when it clearly isnt?"
"I'm...I'm not! Leo-"
"Leonardo is dead." Giovanni went silent at that. "He's gone! Shattered into millions of pieces! All thats left is a broken mess. A calloused murderer thats just as bad as the Shredder was!"
It was the truth after all.
"Dont...Dont compare yourself to the Shredder for crying out loud! Le...Indy you are nothing like him."
Indigo stood up, walking back to the center of the rooftop. "You dont know me Van! You don't know what I've done! I killed people. Hundreds of people. Hell a month ago I was killing people for money. Giovanni's eyes went wide as he hurried over but Indigo kept going.
"How can you pretend that I'm still the same? That I'm still Leonardo after all that? How? Because you should be terrified! You should hate me for everything! For fuck's sake I didn't even try to come home for months! I didn't even remember you existed! So tell me Van how you possibly care for a monster like-"
The tangent was silenced by a hug. A very tight, near bone crushing hug from his twin. "Stop that, stop that right now. You are not a monster you hear me?"
"But Van-"
"You were in this dimension's Battle Nexus."
"Yeah, for the first four months."
"So you had to fight."
"Everyday, multiple times a day." Somehow his twin's hold grew even tighter.
"Ans you had to kill them to survive."
"It was kill or be killed, and I didn't want to die...or worse."
"So everything that happened in the Battle Nexus wasn't your fault. It was entirely Big Mama's. She's the one that forced you to fight, she's the one that took everything from you!" Indigo's legs were starting to tremble, eyes growing glassy and red.
"But I kept going after that! I left the Mad Dogz! I became criminal! I joined a gang! I was a god damn hitman!"
"Why?" Indigo shivered in Giovanni's arms.
"Because Big Mama tripled the amount of money she took from us after every heist because I was with them she wanted me back. We had nothing, so I...I had to bring in some money for the group because it was my fault Big Mama was targeting us."
"That's not what I asked."
"Huh?"
"Let me rephrase it, why did you leave? What made you want to join your little criminal buddies?"
"The Mud Dogs acted like our brothers. Hell they even sounded the same. In fact it was kinda freaky thinking back. Like Mickey was like Mikey when he tries to be intimidating, Danny sounded like Donnie after a cold, and Heinous Green was Raph if he had been smoking for ten years." Giovanni laughed at that.
"And you wanna know the weirdest part?"
"What?"
"Leonard sounded almost exactly like me it was bizarre. Probably why he couldn't stand me."
They both laughed a bit, marveling in the truly weird situation.
"They were, familiar. I didn't understand why at the time but now..."
"You know that you were just missing your family even if you didn't know it so you tried to cope with a similar version?"
"Exactly. I wanted to stay with them despite being such a problem, it didn't take long to find work. I was pretty good at it too. Honestly if was the same situation I would do it for you guys too."
"I know you would."
"But...the entire time I was with the Mud Dogs, hell even with the Mad Dogz, I always felt like an outsider. Like I didn't belong with them no matter how much I tried. Like I was too fucked up to be apart of a family. That only got worse with the Mud Dogs, like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole. Its not going to happen."
Indigo took a breath, rubbing the tears from his eyes.
"It hurt. I kept thinking over and over that something was wrong with me because why couldnt I just be? Why did it feel like I was intruding every single time. Its not like the Mad Dogs were excluding me, I know they tried. But it didnt matter, because I couldn't belong with them, I couldn't belong with the Mud Dogs. And I'm sure of I belong with you anymore either."
The two sat down on the roof top, Indigo still in his twin's arms.
"You don't know that-"
"I get it now."
"Huh?"
"Remember what you said when you came home from your first trip? You said you didn't feel like you belonged.
"I know what I said."
"I didnt understand before but now...its lonely, so lonely and you keep asking why do you feel this way? Why cant you just be with them why is it so complicated?"
Indigo wrapped his arms around Giovanni, returning the hug. "Is that how you felt for years and I never noticed?"
"Its not your-"
"Just answer the question Vanny." Giovanni rested his head on Indigo's shoulder.
"Yeah that about sums it up. But I'm here now I promise."
"Vanny I'm so sorry for never noticing."
"Its not your fault, really it isn't. I needed to find my own path."
"I get it, god do I get it. No wonder you left."
"But I came back."
"There's no coming back from this I'm fucked up beyond repair. The brother you once knew is never coming back."
"That's not true! Indy you went through a ton of fucked up shit, believe me I know. But I know you, I've known you since we were kids! You've always fought against whatever the world threw at you, time and time again. And you came back, even if you had to claw your way back you did. Thats why you survived so long in the Battle Nexus."
Indigo nodded, his entire body shaking like a leaf in the storm. He squeezed Giovanni tighter.
"But this is worse than literally everything we ever faced Vanny. Hell I would take the Super Shredder again in a heartbeat over...this whole situation."
"You are the most stubborn, determined person I know. Its not going to be easy, because lets face it nothing in our lives ever is, hell it will be painful, awful and probably downright horrible. But you'll keep going regardless, whatever the world thinks."
"I can't do this alone...I dont want to do this alone."
"Who said you'll be alone? We'll all be right there with you every step of the way. Raph, Donnie, Mikey, Casey, April, Karai. I'll be right by your side. We'll pick up the pieces, together."
"I don't think I'll ever be the same again."
"Probably not."
"Van!"
"Do you know what Kintsugi is?"
"Its where broken pots are fixed with gold right?"
"Exactly, you wont be the same but we can fix it. Whether that be as Leo or Indigo your still our brother." The tears finally fell as the twins held each other so tightly. They stayed like that for a long time until Indigo pulled away, giving Giovanni a smile.
"When did you get so good at motivational speeches?"
The green clad turtle snorted.
"Its called I had to be the leader for almost an entire year. You get pretty good at motivating everyone after awhile."
"Not so easy is it?"
"I genuinely dont know how you havent had a heart attack because of how stressful keeping those three idiots from killing each other is? Like I love our brothers more than anything in the world but oh my god they can be the most insufferable dingbats of all time!"
"How many fights did you break up?"
"At least a few hundred, I have considered strangling them more than once."
"Welcome to my world."
"Granted, its been rough since you disappeared. Like Donnie said we looked everywhere for you! We...we thought you were dead."
"I'm sorry. I really am. If I had known I would've tried to come back immediately."
"Don't blame yourself, you had all your memories stolen! No one blames you for not trying if you didn't even know you had a family to come home to."
"I know, but I dont think I'll ever stop blaming myself anyway."
"Like I win't stop blaming myself for not looking harder, if we found this dimension sooner then none of this would've happened."
"Lets just blame Big Mama for fucking with our lives."
"Agreed."
The twins leaned against each other, sharing stories of what happened the past nine months. It would be hard but eventually they would be ok.
And perhaps this entire ordeal has brought them back together, gaining a new understanding so that for the first time in years the twins will be whole again.

Disappearing act - chapter XV
Geto observed her more carefully, trying to decide whether she was being serious or not. — Killing non-sorcerers? — It's an option, but I don't take it seriously. Do you? — Yuki pressed him with a loaded question. Suguru Geto thought of them all — Shoko, Nanami, Haibara, Riko, Kuroi, his parents, Satoru — and his chest filled with an unbearable pain, but also an incredibly monumental love, so much that it felt like it would stretch and burst at the seams of his heart that could not contain it. He thought of his father again, reading him "Night on the Galactic Railroad" when he was young, and he thought of Satoru reading his own copy now during his leisure nights. He thought of Giovanni and Campanella, and of the Scorpio of the night sky, and of the nobility of sacrifice, of setting yourself on fire to warm the world.
Satosugu |Finalized|Long fic|Also being published in Portuguese and on AO3
Chapters: I - II - III - IV - V - VI - VII - VIII - IX - X - XI - XII - XIII - XIV - XV - XVI - XVII
Chapter XV: often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them
A cloudy Monday preceded Satoru Gojo's birthday, which would take place on that Friday, the first of December 2007. The second week of punishment and forced vacation. Satoru, who was reaching the limits of sanity, offered to do Geto a favor: he offered to clean his room, do his laundry, help him train, and even organize the Jujutsu High library so he could find books more easily.
Overcome with exhaustion after so much insistence, Suguru entrusted him with the incredibly difficult task of sending some packages by mail to his parents. That would be enough for a calm morning.
Nanami and Haibara were training combat with short and medium-range weapons on the court, and Shoko and Suguru were watching them. Kento Nanami was on his way to being promoted to grade 1, and he wanted to be in top shape for it, working more intensely in the last few weeks to achieve that goal in an honorable manner.
— Where's Satoru? Hasn't he woken up yet? — Ieiri asked, looking up from the pathology book she was reading. The prolonged stillness was so unusual that it roused her from her study.
— He went to drop off some packages at the post office for me. — Geto said.
The clash of swords periodically generated thunderous sounds when both weapons met. The floor of the court emitted a peculiar noise with the sliding of the soles of Nanami and Haibara's shoes, a sharp and rapid sound.
— Did he offer to do it?
— Yeah, he said he wanted to do something for me, and I really needed to stop by the post office, so I let him do it. I don't know what happened to Satoru. — Suguru shrugged — He was saying that I always do things for him, that he has to do the same and whatever.
Shoko understood the reason for this change of behavior, of course. — He wants to feel useful, that's all. He wants to show you that you can count on him.
Haibara's sword flew through the air, hitting the ground. He slid to reach it, and managed to catch it at the last second before Nanami could kick it away, prolonging the fight for a little longer. The two had grown a lot compared to when they entered the school.
— I think I'm in love with Satoru, Shoko. I mean, I don't think, I know... — Suguru muttered, without taking his eyes off the fight.
— How long have you known it? — she asked back. The confession didn't surprise her at all.
— I don't know, but I only realized it recently.
Shoko sighed. — You two should talk and work things out, it would be so much easier...
Geto turned to her. — Do you think that he…?
Shoko Ieiri was sure that the feeling was mutual, not only because she became a listener to their confessions and problems and offered more advice than ever in her entire life, but also because she was forced to live with them and be eternally the third wheel of a couple who still didn't realize this. — Are you kidding? Anyone can see the tension between you two from a mile away, and it's been going on for months.
The door to the court opened with a bang, because the least discretive person in Tokyo and the metropolitan area had just returned to school. With a smile on his face and his hands on his hips in a superhero pose, Satoru Gojo announced his presence. Despite having expected applause and screams from fans, he only received a scolding from Nanami: — Get out of the way, idiot!
A blade almost accidentally hit him, after Kento kicked away the sword that Haibara was holding, taking advantage of the distraction. If it weren't for Limitless, he probably would have hit Gojo in the forehead. None of this seemed to dampen his good mood. — Nanamin, is this how you welcome me?
He had some bags with him from the convenience store, and took out bottles of sports drinks that he threw to each person. In addition, another of the bags contained current newspapers and magazines, published that week. Suguru picked up one of the newspapers, noticing a familiar face on the cover story: — Kaori Itadori…
— Do you know her? — Yu asked — She's in a lot of news reports these days.
— I saw her face in a newspaper on the train when I was going to the mission in the village. — Geto replied, thoughtfully — It's a weird scar, that's why I remembered the name.
— In the middle of the forehead… Pretty visible, and she didn't bother covering it with makeup. — Nanami observed. The absence of vanity is certainly a virtue, one could argue.
Shoko looked over his shoulder at the photo. — It's not a scar, it's a seal from a jujutsu technique. She's a sorcerer, probably.
Gojo sat on the other side of Suguru, pulling the newspaper a little closer to him. — And how do you know that?
She shrugged, not really knowing how to explain it, just thinking it was as difficult to pinpoint as it is to explain how the Reverse Cursed Technique works. Some things you just know.
Meanwhile, Suguru read the text of the report. Kaori Itadori, a young mother who abandoned her son and her career after the tragic death of her husband to become a Buddhist monk at a charitable organization… The Time Vessel Association. The mention of that name was enough to make Geto widen his eyes, perplexed, even though he quickly covered his reaction up; Satoru noticed the fleeting change of expression on his face but didn't comment. He understood it when he reached the same point in the article, which revealed that the Association did charitable work such as opening schools to teach poor children in villages in the inner parts of the country. It didn't seem like the kind of thing the cult would do. Kaori's wide smile, but devoid of emotion in her eyes, made anyone uncomfortable upon closer inspection.
— She's with the Association... She's their new leader. — Suguru whispered, still in disbelief. He still remembered the thank you letters he and Satoru received for stopping Riko's fusion with Master Tengen, feeling a chill run down his spine.
This provoked expressions of confusion and a certain level of fear from everyone. They had never disappeared, after all. — But what do they want, showing off like that? — Nanami said.
— It says here that they are building schools… — Haibara theorized — It could be true. She may have changed the direction of the organization, made internal changes, I don't know.
It was a remote possibility, and as a person who always believed in the kindness of others, he preferred to see it that way. Despite that, something about the woman was a little disturbing, and it could probably be explained by the absence of any liveliness behind her eyes: they were dull, like those of a fresh corpse, Shoko thought with a shudder.
— I hope you're right. — Suguru replied. He did not have that same hope.
Satoru got up from the floor, calmly, taking his cell phone out of his pocket. — I'll make a call and be right back. And Nanamin, you should work on your feet stance... They're too close together. If you move your feet apart, you’ll improve your balance. — Gojo said, with a friendly smile, while dialing a phone number. Geto watched him walk away feeling worried about what he might be about to do.
Long minutes passed, in tense silence. Nanami and Haibara still maintained their dispute, with a score of 3 to 0 for Kento — who, following Gojo's advice, kept his feet further apart and realized that he was right in suggesting this position; sometimes he managed not to be completely annoying and offer constructive criticism. Despite the periodic clang of the metal of the swords as they clashed, and the noise of the shoes dragging and sliding on the floor, Shoko fell asleep, overcome by tiredness; Geto marked the page of the book she was reading before taking it from her hands, laying her down on the bench where they were. He got up, uneasily, heading out of the court.
Satoru had just ended the call he intended to make. Unlike when he had first entered, looking excited, he was serious now, his face worried, his lips pursed in a curve of dissatisfaction. — I talked to Riko. I told her to be careful, and avoid this woman. Apparently, the news from the Association has already reached Okinawa…
— If that's the case, we'll need to get them out of there if the situation gets worse. — Suguru replied — Do you think they could still be after them?
Gojo shook his head negatively. — I don't know, but I don't wanna risk it. We need to increase security, for everyone... I’m worried about the kids too, if the cult isn't keeping an eye on them.
Thinking about it made his stomach churn, Suguru admitted to himself: it wouldn't be the first time they played low blow like that. He shouldn't have been surprised, and yet, part of him couldn't believe they would go this far... — Remember the letters they sent? Thanking us for our collaboration... I wonder if this wasn't planned a long time ago.
Suddenly, that whole convoluted plan, the surprise collaboration in the lie, everything made sense like pieces fitting into the puzzle. The two looked at each other, surprised, when they realized this fact.
— They draw the attention of the elders by killing the Star Plasma Vessel to stop Master Tengen's merging. After that, they disappear completely, remaining hidden for more than a year, under the leadership of a supposedly new person, who seems to be reforming the organization. The thing is that the higher-ups don't know that Riko Amanai didn't die, nor do they suspect that we're hiding her... You were right, Suguru: they're going to blackmail us. If the elders find out, they’ll consider us traitors. They’ll execute us. But the big question is: what do they want from us?
Geto didn't know the answer to that question. Money, power, influence, an alliance, or even the pure desire to destroy them or the jujutsu society, these were all valid options; the answer inevitably laid in Kaori Itadori, in what kind of person she was. — I don't know. But at the right time, they’ll get in touch, I'm sure of that... We have to prepare ourselves until then.
— Maybe we should tell Professor Yaga.
Silence. The two looked at each other, compliantly. Masamichi Yaga probably knew, or at least suspected, of their involvement in that incident in August of the previous year. He would probably be a good ally against the elders. It wasn't a bad idea at all...
— I think he'll understand... But he'll probably double our punishment. — Suguru theorized. The idea made Gojo laugh in despair, considering that the boredom and feeling of helplessness were killing him.
— I'll keep an eye on this Kaori Itadori in the meantime. I'll see what I can find out about her... — the other replied.
Geto opened his mouth to say something, then felt unable to say what he really thought (that going after this woman was a risk he didn't want him to take), and closed it again. He changed the subject. — What do you think Kaori Itadori wants? Building schools…
— It's probably something with the kids. Create an army of mini-zombie supporters, perhaps? If the plan was to lay low and go unnoticed by the government, there are a thousand other ways, and all of them are probably easier than creating and managing schools across the country. — Satoru suggested. The idea of indoctrination, of expanding the domains of the Time Vessel Association through a new generation of members who would never question its ideals, like disposable soldiers in a future war, did not seem unlikely: that was the objective of every cult, after all, to recruit more members... Something, however, didn't seem to add up: Master Tengen needs to go through a fusion every 5000 years to remain stable, and with Riko discarded now that the time frame had been lost, no one could know when the next Star Plasma Vessel would appear; it could take years, or even centuries, for another opportunity to arise; strengthening the cult for a plan in such a distant future seemed crazy.
— Either that, or they're trying to rival the jujutsu world by creating curse users. — Suguru observed. The possibility didn't make him any less worried either — Promise me one thing, Satoru.
— Anything.
— Promise me you won't do anything stupid. Don’t attack anyone first, don’t stir shit up. The best plan would be if the Association doesn't even find out that we know, the less they remember that we exist, the better. — Geto asked — Actually, I think I have an idea of someone who can help us look into them, I just need you to not do anything bad in the meantime.
Satoru saluted him, half serious, half joking. — Alright, alright, at your orders, Suguru. — he replied, holding him by the arm as if they were about to enter a dance hall — Let's go back inside, I need to piss off Nanamin some more. Forget all that. Let's think about good things. Why don't we do something fun today? We can watch a movie, or go out to eat, or do anything.
At other times, Suguru would not have paid the slightest attention to the proximity in which they found themselves, something so natural and usual, but today the mere touch made him feel goosebumps, a wave of anxiety growing inside him. He covered it all with a smile as they walked back to the court, despite how he truly felt, like a master of acting: — Let's go out to eat, then. You choose where, after all, your birthday is coming up… By the way, Satoru, what are you going to do next year, when we graduate?
— It depends, what are you going to do?
Geto thought for a moment. — I was thinking about becoming a teacher. It would be good, don't you think? We could help form a better generation of jujutsu sorcerers, and protect the weakest.
— Then I think I wanna be a teacher too. Besides, Professor Yaga would hate that… — Satoru replied, with a laugh. Despite this, he was serious deep down: — Protecting the weakest… Yeah, that would be cool.
Neither of them noticed before going in that the court was in perfect silence because three people were watching them through the window, seeming entertained by the whole situation. Haibara made Shoko put out the cigarette she was about to light out of pure frustration, before it attracted attention and they were discovered snooping around. Nanami simply sighed deeply, putting away his sword: — When are these two idiots going to do something, huh?
— You think I haven't already thought of that? — Shoko muttered, in response, with a grimace — Romance is gross.

My Obikin Playlist Masterpost Part 2
Not that anybody was really waiting for this, but here is the second part of the playlist with an explanation for each song. If you are interested in reading my rant on the first 20 songs, you can check the post I made last week HERE.
Without further ado, I'll leave you to my rant for songs 21 to 40.
☙ ✤ ❧ ☙ ✤ ❧ ☙ ✤ ❧ ☙ ✤ ❧ ☙ ✤ ❧ ☙ ✤ ❧
❧ One in a Million - Midnight to Monaco
Tears fall like acid rain and it burns me through the skin It's taken everything from me, I've lost my innocence The bats brings the night today, watch them turn the sky to black Like a gun that fires that sound again Frightens me until the bitter end I can't keep holding on And I hide away I need it to keep me from breaking down And I'm under Baby I can't carry on, dead and I've been buried on Baby, I was one in a million Even if our love was strong, take me down and let it fall Baby, I was one in a million And I was holding, burning, waking, turning Tasting blood and losing time I want to get a hold of myself Baby, I was one in a million [...] And I need it to keep me from thinking I won't find my wings no more
This entire song is about how someone's life gets absolutely destroyed by drug abuse. Or at least, that's how I always interpreted this. But drug abuse always makes me think about any kind of obsessions doing exactly the same thing. So I love this song for Anakin in particular. That "I was one in a million" giving me this "Chosen One" vibe. Like he got lost on the way to what he was supposed to be, and now that he's fallen he has no clue how to get back to what he was supposed to be, that one in a million.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Losing My Religion - R.E.M.
The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough [...] Every whisper, of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool [...] Consider this the hint of the century Consider this the slip That brought me to my knees, failed
Another classic song that is in basically any ships' playlist. And it fits so much with unrequited love (or pining in general). How can I not think of Obi-Wan trying desperately to be a good Jedi while he's well aware of his feelings for Anakin?
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Hurt Me - Lapsley
Can't look at you the same way, anticipatin' heartbreak And I know, and I know, and I know I'm puttin' on a brave face to meet you in the same place And I know, and I know, and I know Gotta let my mind find another space 'Cause I heard these scars never go away And now I'm runnin' out of ways to numb the pain So if you're gonna hurt Why don't you hurt me a little bit more? Just dig a little deeper Push a little harder than before [...] Like breathing underwater, what's the law and order? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know You're sitting in a corner, hiding til it's over And it shows, and it shows, and it shows Buildin' up my walls just to tear them down Tell me that it's love, force me to drown Buildin' up my walls just to tear them down Tell me that it's love And I thought you said you still loved me [...] And I'm counting down the seconds that we have I can see the end in sight, at last So if you're gonna hurt me Why don't you hurt me a little bit more?
This entire song makes me think of one of those situations where both of them are pining and convinced that the other is about to tell them something that would end up breaking their heart. Basically first half is Obi-Wan knowing from the start that they won't work, maybe because he thinks Anakin is in love with Padmé and that's what Anakin wants to talk about; second half is Anakin, sure that Obi-Wan would deny having feelings for him because of how much he loves being a Jedi so he tries to be a better Jedi for the sake of Obi-Wan. Because I love the trope of both of them being too oblivious to realize they are in love.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ The Shelter of My Love - Astropol
When you have nothing to lose No one dear and no one to care for Non one sees you but I do I'll take you in I won't let you go Oh the middle of the night Black as tar and eager to hold you Just as pretty as my love Just as hungry Just as eternal [...] When you have no bridge to burn No place to go, no place to return to No one loves you like I do I love you [...] When you have nothing to lose And nightfall comes, eager to hold you No one loves you like I do I love you I love you, I love you Oh shelter of my faith All the peril, all the weight Mighty glorious The shelter of my faith Oh shelter of my trust All the longing, all the lust God will help you if you lost the shelter of my trust
I'm perfectly aware that this is a song about faith. It's basically like a call to pray because even when you are lost the one person that will always be there for you is God. BUT, this actually works pretty well for the Jedi Order too. And if we think of how Anakin joined the Jedi, how he felt like the only thing he would lose is his mother, it kinda makes sense with these lyrics. And even Obi-Wan: he was given to the Jedi when he was so young that that's the only life he knows. At the same time, it can be about Anakin and Obi-Wan finding that solace in each other too, because sure, the entire Order is there to support them. But it's almost like it's their last option to them, because when in need the first person they go to is the other.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ The Night We Met - Lord Huron
I am not the only traveler Who has not repaid his debt I've been searching for a trail to follow again Take me back to the night we met And then I can tell myself What the hell I'm supposed to do And then I can tell myself Not to ride along with you I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh, take me back to the night we met When the night was full of terrors And your eyes were filled with tears When you had not touched me yet Oh, take me back to the night we met
You should know me by now. If a song that is basically perfect for Obi-Wan post RotS, I'm gonna find it. And this one is just PERFECT! Like, Obi-Wan absolutely feels like he owes something to the universe because he is the one who failed Anakin, who allowed him to fall. So I imagine him wanting a do-over, a chance to stay away from Anakin so that Anakin can be better and his own heart can't be broken in such a terrible way. Basically, this is also perfect for a time traveler Obi-Wan trying to fix things from day 1.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Danger - JKAY feat Shola Ama
I'm a million reasons in And I'm going out on a limb But I can't, no I can't deny Cause I, I fell in love with danger And I think I found a stranger in you The boy that I knew, left me torn into two And I don't know what to do
Nothing fancy about this one, just Obi-Wan realizing there is a wild side to the cute, totally unable to flirt young teenager he took care of for so long. Basically something to write smut on. You all know you need these kind of songs too. (And I picked the acoustic version because it gives me more soft love-making vibes, but the original one is perfect for a more passionate kind of mood).
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Amandoti - Giovanni Lindo Ferretti
Loving you makes me weary, guts my insides (It’s) Something that feels like laughing in tears Loving you makes me weary, it makes me sorrowful What can you do (about it), that’s life That’s life, my (life) [...] Loving you comforts my sleepless nights It’s something that replaces old dead flames Loving you comforts me, it gives me joy What can you do (about it), that’s life But (that) life is my life Love me once more, do it softly One year, one month, one hour (Do it) Hopelessly Love me once more, do it softly Just for an hour But let it be forever
I was forced to put the live version from the original composer in the playlist, but a couple of weeks ago I posted a link to Maneskin's cover of this song (which, isn't on Spotify). You can check it out HERE, with a full translation of the lyrics (yes, Italian songs will always be a thing for this playlist, get over it). Like I said in the tags of that post, this is just another one of those songs that give me post RotS Obi-Wan feels. Just him all alone and heartbroken wishing he could feel Anakin's love just once more. Simply perfection.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Lemon Eyes - Meg Myers
Hush now baby, there's no need to cry Let me wipe away those lemon eyes All your worries, such a waste of time You can't even see how much you're mine You're so bitter, bitter, bitter, yellow Settle, settle, got to settle down, okay Listen, listen, you listen, yellow It's a killer, a killer, a killer jealousy Lemon eyes, you're mine Yellow eyes, all mine I bet you wanna walk away, run away, look away, turn away Honey you can't hide Lemon eyes, all mine
Do I even have to explain this? It's basically perfect for all of Anakin's issues with jealousy, but with what yellow eyes mean in this fandom it could absolutely be about Sith!Anakin. It's just such a fitting song for these two, with Obi-Wan trying to reason with a very unreasonable Anakin... (And I might have anonymously suggested to someone to listen to it as a good song for their fic. *coff coff* @tennessoui *coff coff*)
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ 10 Years - Daði Freyr
We've been together for a decade now Still everyday I'm lovin' you more If I could do it all again I'd probably do it all the same as before I don't wanna know what would've happened If I never had had your love I didn't became myself before I met you I don't wanna know what would've happened If I never had felt you love Everything about you, I like We started out so fast Now we can take it slower Love takes some time Takes a little time, so take a litte time As it ages like wine [...] And just when I thought that my heart was full I found place that I never explored You're so fascinating And I can't remember the last time I was bored [...] How does it keep getting better? Everyday our love finds a new way to grow The time we spend together Simply feels good We got a good thing going
How could I not put this song in this playlist? Like, it can literally be about how in the many years together, their love for each other grew and grew, and changed to get better with time. But it can also be just Anakin and Obi-Wan in an established relationship, since this is technically a song about a ten years anniversary. I just LOVE IT. It's super sweet and we all need fluff sometimes.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Different Kind Of Love - Kid Runner
It was always you there Dancing towards me Grabbing both my hands like Here we go, here we go again Maybe it was destiny We were so familiar But you caught me staring And I don't know, I don't know, I guess [...] And when you're near me I can't help but be under your spell Can I make you believe you're the only one I need? [...] It must've been something A switch in my brain It kept me in motion It drove me insane It must've been something Something you said You're pulling me under Holding me close Inside my head Oh, it's a different kind of love And when I see your face I know, I know You got me going Oh, and this could be enough I'm dreaming wide awake I know, I know
Classic friends to lovers AU song that works wonders with Anakin's kind of love, all obsessive and stuff. Definitely can picture teen Anakin pining over Obi-Wan to the tune of this, all awkward boners at absolutely inappropriate times and Obi-Wan never truly pointing it out, because he doesn't want to make Anakin even more uncomfortable.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Ruthless - GIRLI
Home? What's that? I got a doll's house with a few cracks Grew too tall, now I'm poking out the attic My feet are in the basement 'cause I never wanna hack it Life, what's that? Life, what's that? [...] Take my soul, Take me down Take me back to the beginning of this when I was still innocent Me, sorry who? I'm a kid in a grown-up suit Looking in the mirror tryna figure out who's Banging on the glass 'cause they're tryna break through Is it me? Is it you? Think it's me, wish I knew Take me, use me, screw me over Play me like I like losing Trip me, trick me, drug me Say you love me but you like cheating You're the only one to blame You made me this way Guess that's why I'm so damn Ruthless You made me, you made me You made me ruthless You made me, you made me You made me ruthless Only way to do it When you break me and I lose it Oh, you made me You made me so damn fucking ruthless [...] Yeah it's tragic All the bad bits Made me so damn ruthless No, it's not me I don't wanna be Ruthless
Being a woman, I know perfectly that this song is about how sometimes women have to grow up to be mean because of all of the abuse they go throw in their life. But I kind of see Anakin as this person that would absolutely blame everyone else for his fall to the Dark Side and this works so well! Like, the doll house is a metaphor for how the Jedi Order was supposed to be his home, but in the end he felt like he was used, like the Jedi told him they loved him just to trick him into doing whatever they wanted, basically cheating him of a simpler life with his mom. And even the looking in the mirror thing could be when he's already in the Vader suit and he doesn't know if Vader is what he was supposed to be all along or somewhere inside him there's this young innocent child trying to get out. What can I say, most of the times I have Obi-Wan feelings. But every once in a while I find something twisted enough to give me Anakin/Vader feelings too.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ All or Nothing - Wild Youth
I remember when we were younger We used to stay up late We used to watch the sun go down, the sun go down Yeah at night I, I think about ya How I spent so long living without ya You're all I need, the air I breathe So hold tight, I'm coming 'Cause it's all or nothing I'm a million miles away and I feel so low I've been driving all night just to get back home to you To you See the sunrise, it's a classi break Driving down roads that I used to take with you With you Every streetlight, new horizon Start to wonder if you realise Oh, we were vain, was more than friends So hold tight, I'm coming 'Cause it's all or nothing
Okay, this is kind of perfect for a very specific kind of AU. Like, the "they used to be childhood friends, then got separated by life, but they were always meant for each other, so after meeting once by chance after years separated, they can't go back to their life, they have to stay with the other" kind of specific AU. The song might work with how the Clone Wars kept them separate too, but... yeah. It's kinda specific. Sorry not sorry.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Someone Like You - Noah Kahan feat. Joy Oladokun
Guess I'm a mess now Lost with my head down I haven't heard from you in weeks You must have left town I can't go back now And all that I have now Are those feelings I felt Knowing that no one else can bring them back out And I've been trying to find a silver lining But I can't But I can't Now that I can't hold you I wish that I had tried to Do more not to lose you Now that I can't find you Because the second you left, yeah the voice in my head screamed "What did I do?" Now you're gone and all I want is someone like you
Once again, ignoring that this is a song about a couple breaking up after one of the two cheated because this is also perfect for Anakin confessing his love for Obi-Wan as soon as he's a Knight. He was sure that would make Obi-Wan accept his love and try to get in a relationship, instead Obi-Wan panicked and asked to get sent as far away from Anakin as he could. So of course Anakin is filled with regret about his confession.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Big Boy - Charlotte Cardin
Maybe if I spell it out Big boy will take me on proper You nailed my heart to your wall You never dusted off after [...] Maybe if I'm a broken wing Big boy in my nest You nailed my heart to your wall And disposed of the rest of me With your push and shove Like what's love ain't love But it's love to me My boy is not a man yet My boy is not a man yet But boy do I love it when you kiss my neck Oh boy last night was perfect You're changing my mind Like what's mine ain't mine Be mine to be Maybe if we try again Big boy we could have it my way You nailed my heart to your wall But it was damaged anyways
Another song to write smut to, but smut with feels. Mainly Obi-Wan's, that maybe feels like Anakin played with him just so that they could sleep together, but never actually tried to put a pin on what their relationship is supposed to be after. And Obi-Wan realizes that part of the reason is that Anakin is still so young and maybe he's the one that made a mistake. Like, he's not even sure that what he feels is real, but he still keeps following what Anakin wants because what is the alternative after all?
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Home with You - Marie Dahlstrom
Happy to be home with you Happy to wake up with you Even after all that you've benne through Happy that you feel the same Hope that I can ease the pain Happy to come by 'Cause you just give me life And I love spending time with you It's easy when I want you like that I don't regret it even if you might think That I've got Plenty other reasons in my head Plenty other questions still unsaid Nobody knows where you'll go but I'm here [...] I don't understand it all Still I will accept your flaws Just the way that you're accepting mine No, I'm not really one to judge We can laugh it off because It's just one life for you and I and I know [...] Feels so good when it's You by my side I could just stay all night I could just stay all night I love the things you do Nobody knows where we'll go but I'm here Baby, whenever you need me Baby come over, baby come over Whenever you need I will always be by your side
This song can honestly fit multiple things. It can absolutely be Obi-Wan accepting that Anakin reaches out for him only in certain situations and him always being open to it, no matter how their relationship isn't really the traditional kind of relationship (like, a friends with benefits kind of deal). But it can also be Obi-Wan and Anakin getting together when Anakin is already Vader, so Obi-Wan is slowly falling to the Dark Side too. You can also just use this as another song to write soft love making too since it's so slow and soft. Or just do whatever you want with it.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Hands Tied - Beatrich
You got me home sick for your arms The arms that keep me close But you just slip though my fingers Like I'm tryna catch a ghost I'd travel to the moon and back For you and all that you could say is That you didn't ask for that You'd never ask I'd travel to the moon and back For you and all that you could say is That you didn't ask for that You'd never And you stand there Looking at me with my hands tied And how foolish Foolish of me to let this one slide I'm terrified The roots are way too deep And there is no way out You just stand there Looking at me with my hands tied
Huge vibes of Anakin being mad in love with Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan pushing him away because he sees Anakin as a brother, not as a lover. And there's all kind of pining from Anakin because of the unrequited love and he tries to do crazy stuff for Obi-Wan hoping he will fall in love with him but it fails... Yeah, that's the angst that hurts in the best way! (But, you know, can totally be reversed to Obi-Wan in love with Anakin in a canon scenario with Anakin married to Padmé.)
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Same Bed - Lola Young
I'm too quick to judge, too fast to fuck If we're lonely and I'm No good in love, 'cause the last time I ended up a little dead inside Sorry I lied, I do not want you, no Sorry my pride's a little too high To let you know I cried when you said you had to go, baby [...] (whispered) Fuck then, don't do this to me now Don't say my name when you're talking to me Don't say we're on the same page Don't look away when you walk into me I like the pain, I like the pain I'm making it hard for you to move on And be lonely 'cause I'm So good with words that the last time I broke his heart [...] I got a bit drunk yesterday evening and I Told you some things I didn't mean, oh did I? Hate it, I hate it when I get complacent I love it when you pull that face and we make mistakes Utterly wasted And wake up in the same bed In the same t-shirt I told you I loved you in The same regrets Like wearing the t-shirt I told you I love you in [...] I only like you when you're naked At least, that's what I proved to myself Can't make a fool of myself, baby God, it's so frustrating, making such a fool of myself Gotta make do with myself, baby I only like you when you're naked At least, that's what I proved to myself You make a fool of myself, baby Let's overcomplicate it, maybe just lose ourselves
Back with the complicated relationship and the angst. Can see this in a canon compliant AU with both Anakin and Obi-Wan not really wanting to admit they are in love with each other, but somehow they always end up sleeping together, and telling the other how much they love them just to regret all of it the day after. Basically making things complicated for no reason other than Obi-Wan not wanting to break the rules/his belief that he's meant for infinite sadness, but also because Anakin can't give up on this twisted love despite how much it hurts him and being petty in trying to make Obi-Wan suffer just as much.
❣🅞🅑🅘🅚🅘🅝❣
❧ Ghost - Harper
Not putting lyrics here because this entire song gives me Obi-Wan on Tatooine post-RotS vibes. Like, he's literally on the planet Anakin came from, there to protect Anakin's kids. OF COURSE he sees Anakin's "ghost". Like, he sees so much of Anakin in Luke when he grows up. And it feels kind of fitting as a punishment for Obi-Wan to be slowly going crazy because he keeps being haunted by this image of Anakin around him. Literally this line: "why you gotta make me weak to make me stronger". That's Obi-Wan trying to get over this love for Anakin and realizing that he has to mourn and suffer before he becomes stronger and able to get free from this ghost's hold. (But, you know, Anakin's ghost might even be actually Anakin, in a scenario where Anakin is actually trapped inside of Vader and trying to get free by reaching out to Obi-Wan for help.)

❧ Qualcosa di Grande - Cesare Cremonini
What happened, you changed You are not the same Or are you still the one That grew up with me What happened, you ran away And with you so did my life I searched for it, I searched for it But I found it only in you There's something important between us That you can never change Not even if you want to But there's something important between us That you can never forget Not even if you want to What happened, you fell You fell too low and now you try to climb back up But it's a struggle you don't want [...] What happened, your light Your light is obscured By someone that I know And that took you away from me What happened, your star Your star eclipsed And now (I dare you to) shine from the darkness without me
Yet another song that gives me RotS feels. It's obviously a break up song, a song about regrets and struggling to move on. So of course in it I see Anakin falling to the Dark Side and Obi-Wan trying to remind him of what is between the two of them so that Anakin comes back to him. (If you want to read the complete translation, you can check it out here.)

❧ Dark Side - Phoebe Ryan
At your worst, you're the best Baby I don't want another version, no Hard to love, hard to trust But don't change Don't be a better person for me 'Cuz I'm in love with your dark side I'm in love with your dark side So don't turn on the light [...] Even if it hurts, I want you heart Even at your worst, I love you hard If you wanna keep me, go too far
Another song that is more of a both!Sith AU but also something Vaderwan would work honestly. I like the twisted nature of this kind of love so much in fics. Can absolutely works with any version of Anakin or/and Obi-Wan being the bad guy in the story.

All done! All 20 new songs I added to the original playlist explained away. Like last time, I hope you find any of this entertaining or useful. If any of this inspires your creativity, don't be shy and tag me on your stuff. I'll gladly read it/watch it/enjoy it.

On today's funny round of "But did you see that?" I'm taking a closer look at the legendary Contrabbandieri in 7.3. Pace. The fact that we now know most of their lines were improvised makes watching these clips with them all the more enjoyable and hilarious and I'm amazed at how natural, fast and genuine they are when reacting to each other's lines. It doesn't even feel like they're acting. Bless them!
Let me start this by saying how dare you, Martino? You greeted Luchino, but walked past Elia, man. I know he must have felt sorry and ashamed and uncomfortable, but he could have at least nodded in Elia's direction. I mean look at the guy.
Tumblr media
Luchino's story about his little brother getting in trouble for porn HE watched is making the guys laugh out loud. Not my boy Marti, though. He's like "have I really been gone for a whole week? feels like we're talking about the same nasty thing again. Are you freaking kidding me?"
Tumblr media
The others are now laughing even harder, while Marti is just waiting for it to be over, straing into the nothing
Tumblr media
playing with his coffee cup

praying to divine forces to take him away from this mysery

He's really enjoying the story, you can tell.
He then starts with his own and Elia asks him if he scored la numero 5 (one of the volleyball girls) and Gio's face is priceless here. It's basically doing a Besse saying "you think you know, but you have no idea, my friend".
Tumblr media
Too bad I can't gif it, but one of my favourite parts of this clip is when Marti says he doesn't like every guy, he doesn't like them (voi non mi piacete) and Elia's reaction looks like a "fair enough" haha. Gold.
Tumblr media
And last, but not least, marvel at Elia's eyes sparkle the second he hears Luchino's voice, because he just knows Luchi's going to say something epically stupid when he asks Marti if he can hit on Emma. And he's not wrong, is he?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I didn't even mention our mom friend Giovanni and him being supportive™️ at every step as he guides Marti through his opening up, but maybe you will? What was your favourite part of this clip? Would you have changed anything about it? Which one is your favourite skamit windowstill scene?
