Who was the creator of the apparatus that was used in filming the famous meat hook scene? That would be Dottie Pearl and Bob Burns. Together, the night before we were to film, as I recall, they stayed up into the wee hours getting IT ready, but how did they do it? Imagine if you will, a bikini bottom made of Parachute strapping. Now imagine needing to conceal the bikini gadgetry under some red corduroy short-shorts and backless bathing suit. Now imagine you need the girl wearing the apparatus to be hanging, dangling from a meat hook, that must hold her weight of 110 pounds, and simultaneously making sure no meat hook actually touches her bare back.
The idea was that the audience sees that meat hook coming ominously close to her back, how do we accomplish this safely? You add another piece of parachute strapping about 9-10 inches, sewn with great care to the top back of the parachute strapping in the back of the bikini. The strap was hidden underneath until The Scene of the drop shot. It had to be hidden inside, out of site until the actual drop by Leatherface as he struggles to hold on to the screaming, writhing, hysterical young woman, who’s trying with all her might to escape this impending terrifying disaster.
Next challenge: You need something on the end of the attached strap, something incredibly strong. They decided a large steel parachute ring, that could be guided by someone crouched below, spotting her, as Leatherface waits for his cue to drop her, would be perfect. The steel ring Must Go over the hook and hold her weight. No room for mistakes.
Another clever part of Pam’s meat hook apparatus was Dottie sewing in the twisted legs of panty hose that had great strength and could be pinned underneath the front edges of Pam’s tiny backless bathing suit top, hidden underneath, which helped to keep the apparatus and suit together, long enough to get the shot.
Yes, they used pantyhose, which btw, only became the rage in the early seventies. Fact. It was for all women, freedom… from garter belts. Yes, we actually wore hose, individually attached to garter belts up until then! A little history: In 1974, actress Julie Newmar successfully filed a patent for “Pantyhose with shaping band for cheeky derriere relief”, a garment innovation made famous through the costume she designed in the 1960s for her role as Catwoman in the TV show Batman.
So, when Pam is hanging on the meat hook, held up only by the strapping and stainless steel loop, what happens? Right, that’s when they added lots of foam cushioning, where 100% of the weight inevitably goes. 😬 My sincere thanks for that!
I vividly remember, Tobe calling cut, and looking out to a line of cast and crew, mouths aghast at what they’d just witnessed. You could hear a pin drop. It seems there was a deep collective sigh. We did it. We got the shot that I later heard some one refer to it as “the money shot”, which at the time went right over my head. What’s a money-shot? For me, that was the moment when it crossed my mind, “Hey, maybe we have something here.”
We began filming that scene around 9 AM and finished in time to enjoy our caterer, Sally Nicholaou’s, delicious lunch. It was fast. The awful part? The blood they used was karo syrup based. There are 3 seconds of blood dripping into the bucket below Pam’s dangling feet, maybe only 2 seconds. I Hope It Was Worth It!! Think Texas heat, Karo-syrup, and flies, plenty of flies. UGH. Dottie and I ran outside together, and landed at the windmill, me ripping off everything as Dottie took the water hose and sprayed me forever, until I was finally free of all remnants of sticky-icky karo-syrup, parachute strapping, shorts, bathing suit, et-al. LUNCH!!! ♥️🪝
Thank you, Dottie Pearl. Thank you, Bob Burns. Dorothy J. Pearl - January 19, 1950 - July 22, 2018 (age 68 years) Robert Lewis Burns Jr. November 24, 1950 – April 3, 2015 (age 65 years)

''you're blushing.'' ''i know.'' for the first kiss prompt ? 🥹🥹
"Robin!" Nancy hurried after the girl, pulling down the bill of her cap once under the rain. It thundered above, tearing the sky like linen, roaring at her for being an utter bonehead.
Ahead, Robin was crying. She was trying not to, surely, but the rain made it too easy. God, I'm such a big baby, she told herself as the memory bobbed in the boiling waters of her mind. Noises stuffed her ears like cotton, tears blurred the world under her feet, turned the asphalt to a black river.
She knew she had to stop, so she did. She stopped, and threw her head back so abruptly a joint popped in the crook. Her bottom lip throbbed from being gnawed on like gum, and Robin was sure it was bleeding her love.
Nancy caught up, still calling the girl's name like a cry for help, and latched a grip on Robin's shoulders as if afraid she might break for it again. Her hair licked to hair face, coils of brown like vines down the front of her ear. Her sweatshirt clung to her arms and torso with rainwater, and her lashes were clumps glued together by raindrops. Yet so beautiful she was, standing so fiercely under dull clouds and ferocious skies.
Robin felt her heart thump only once then.
"Robin..." heaved the girl, staring so deep into the girl's eyes. "I am sorry. I really didn't think that would bother you. Please, Robin, that last thing I would ever want to do is upset you."
"I know—"
"Then why did you run?" Nancy took a step closer, invading more of the bubble Robin dearly wished to keep between them.
Just minutes prior, her sitting on the floor of Nancy's apartment, listening on as an odd conversation thrummed in the air. Steve and Nancy were conversing about plants, or perhaps flowers—Robin had not paid enough attention to the technicalities. Only the adequate amount needed to know that the following events were not supposed to happen.
While smiling so charmingly that a crown adorned her head, Nancy moved from the kitchen island to Robin, knelt down, and anchored one hand on the other side, directly under Robin's elbow, thus pinning her down.
This sent some odd, horribly electric buzz swarming from the surface of her skull to the pool of her pelvis. And as though Zeus was suffering the same emotions as her, a bolt of lightning struck and bellowed, setting the hairs on the back of Robin’s neck on end. 
“I think,” Nancy had said, Steve peering from his stool by the island, “that we were both wrong, Harrington.”
Steve coughed, shaking his flock of brown. “How so?” he had responded, but Nancy took too long to follow the thought, stared too deep into Robin’s eyes for too long. Robin feared that her heart, however weak from exertion, would explode from her chest and land on Nancy’s lap for her to take. 
“Nancy?” someone had said; it was a too hollow sound for Robin to remember if it came from her mouth or Steve’s. 
“We were both wrong because,” Nancy finally continued, “no flower could ever be as beautiful as Robin.” 
And although though Robin could only recall a jumble of what happened next, she was aware that her heart had died: it had twisted and knotted, dried itself of blood, and wailed.
Then she ran, she supposed. Because she simply could not breathe under the crushing weight that was Nancy Wheeler’s smile. 
And then they were there, in the dreadful rain, clothes sucked to their skin like leeches, one hoping a sword of lightning would run itself through her bloodless heart, the other having to rub rainwater from her eyes for staring up at the lean one. 
“Look me in the eyes, Wheeler,” Robin said, still flushed red, “and tell me why you think I ran.”
Nancy blinked more water out of her eyes. “Because... I called you a flower? Look, I thought... Wait.” She took Robin by the chin and pulled her down to her level, squinting through the strain hardening like a vail over her eyes. Again, Robin’s heart discombobulated. 
Nancy’s eyes went wide. “So you are blushing!” 
Robin’s heart stopped mid-discombobulation and turned over its shoulder dumbly. “Uh... No shit, Nancy! I know! Why else would I look like I’ve just downed a jar of hot sauce?!”
“I don’t know! I thought you were pissed at me, but I wasn’t sure!” 
“Nancy Wheeler, I swear on--”
“Do you like me, Robin?” Nancy was now gripping Robin by the collar of her jacket, face pinched around the eyes and lips. “Do you like me, like me?”
Robin did not choose her next words; it was likely the rest of her body, sick of the bottled up love she stored in her bones. Softly, limply, she said: “Yes. I really, really do, Nancy.”
And then this girl, this wildfire of a woman, grinned with her teeth, and Robin somehow immediately knew. 
She nodded, and the wildfire devoured her. 
Two burnt butterfly wings, crashing together and mending the tears. The rain turned to fuel, igniting the fire that these girls became under ashen clouds. They kissed, kissed, kissed like the other was of gold, a statue said to bring good luck by lips of well wishes. Robin’s hands on Nancy’s waist, like her hands were made for there; and Nancy’s fingers in tangles of brown honey, longing for the sweetness to be theirs alone. 
Robin, in a rush of voracious fire coursing her veins, lifted Nancy up and spun her, a flower stealing right from the sun’s mouth. They spun as conjoined dandelion seeds blown into the wind, all smiles and muffled laughter that would draw them apart.
“God, you have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that,” said Robin, lips bruised by the sun.
“I’ll let you do it as many times as you like,” said Nancy, kissed pink by a flower.
-
Thanks for the prompt, Ma! Although it took my a while to figure out which path I wanted to take this story through, I ended up with something I quite like. 
(PS if there are any typos, ignore them. I’m tired as hell and don’t have the energy to proofread.)

Eddie and Richie’s wedding Haha let’s plan Eddie and Richie’s wedding yay ok so definitely a church quire for Eddie preferably Derry church quire (as it mentions in the book Eddie loved sitting on the grass across from the church and listening to the songs from the church)Eddie and Richie would not be separated before the wedding be Eddie would be to worried that Richie would wear a T shirt tuxedo they would have it pretty comical so Bev would walk Eddie down the isle Richie would wear a vail and stuff Seating plan Beverly then bill (they are engaged) then Stan and patty Ben and Mike oh and Eddie would so invite his doctor Beverly Stan and Mike would wear shirts and T shirt with glasses Ben bill and patty would wear fannypaks and polo shirts The theme of the party would be clowns They would both have a speech Eddie would definitely start of as how happy he is to marry Richie but then it would spiral into something about diseases and germs Richie would start of not so strong with a joke and then start talking about how he is still in love with Eddie mum and how it is not going to work out as a joke all the losers would talk about them in a very long an hard to watch speech that was definitely not planned Ben would read a poem
The food would literally contain nothing because of Eddies allergies it would be disgusting
I don’t know what else please comment if you have any other ideas ✨

i finally watched the mummy (2017) the other day and nick morton really was made to be objectified omg why did i not watch it earlier 😭😭 my brain is SO rotted for him now i can’t stand it
anyway… mummy thoughts? 🎤
Ah, Nick Morton, my beloved HIMBO of a Golden Retriever explorer. Look at his dumb, confused face, he's adorable. 
Tumblr media
So, when this film was released, it was trashed, like, royally kicked around by critics and, apparently, general audiences. I remember Mark Kermode being so unimpressed with it that he almost wondered if it was time for him to stop reviewing films because he found it so dull, so tbh, I doubt I would have sought it out if I hadn't become a TC obsessive; thank you, TGM. I'm pointing all that out because my expectations for this film were low, but even then, when I watched it, I was genuinely surprised that it received the hazing it has because I found it so much fun and I was not bored at any point.
Now, don't get me wrong, I know there are problems with it, mainly that they're too focused on setting up a shared universe when they should have simply focused on making one film; also, the CGI is a little dodgy in places and they don't utilize Vail at all once he's dead. It's unclear as to why Set wants to become human, especially if that will make him easier to kill despite his powers. Some of the dialogue is a little clunky. Annabelle Wallis has the thankless task of doing all the exposition, but she does it well. And they don't play up Nick and Ahmanet's connection nearly enough, but despite that, I had a great time watching it; it's a solid three-star film, not brilliant but not the dumpster fire that some made it out to be. And I absolutely love how much fun Tom Cruise is having playing Nick.
Tumblr media
Look at him! He is having so much fun, and I dig it. And the film is funny. I love the opening sequence with Nick and Vail as they're running for their lives; it's so chaotic. But it's also sentimental in places. The scene where Nick and Jenny are in the water and he's holding her face and asking if she's okay and trying to reassure her that they'll figure it out and pleading for her to stay with him makes my heart hurt. And I think that underwater sequence with the knights coming out of the tombs is beautiful and scary because the sets are amazing.
Also, like Bill Cage, Nick is not an evil man, nor is he as selfish as he believes himself to be. He stands in front of Vail when the other soldiers are pointing guns at him, and he saves Jenny. Whether or not he thought it was the last parachute is irrelevant because as soon as the plane begins to fall, he assists her in finding a parachute and ensuring she is strapped in one, saving her life. My head canon for Nick having such a low opinion of himself is that an authority figure, such as a parent, grandparent, or possibly a teacher, disliked him and turned the smallest transgression into the biggest sign that he was a terrible person, when he probably wasn't any worse than most kids, but he's been told his entire life that he's a terrible person, so he's just thought, "Fuck it. If you think I'm that worthless, I'll be it." Even Jekyll just sees him at face value and uses that as an excuse to justify wanting to sacrifice Nick so they can kill Set. Fuck you, Jekyll.
So yeah, The Mummy's not the best film ever made, but for what it is, it is fun and better than it's given credit for, and Nick Morton needs to be protected, mainly from himself, at all costs.

And why did your mother lose your childhood home, again? You ought to be honest about it with the people you expect to pay your bills.
My mom lost our home because she spent a decade taking care of her own elderly mother. A mother who had been physically an emotionally abusive. Her rich and well respected brother then used that my mother hadn't been able to work and accumulate wealth as he had, to hire an attorney and steal the entire estate. My mom had what amounted to a nervous breakdown from all of it. He has two or is it three more condos in Vail and a place in Hawaii now. She then had a medical crisis.
That said I'm a profoundly talented emerging female artist and that is enough to deserve support. Because art is worthy and important, despite it's often being unprofitable.

- the boxcar children series because they give me very good nostalgia 💜💜💜
- goodnight moon (for the same reason)
- The Botany of Desire (from my botany/ecology class, about the 'four desires of men' : beauty, stability, sweetness, and intoxication. It's actually a really interesting read if you like science)
- Welcome to Night Vale (the original novel; I need to get to the other ones still)
- Wicked (the novel the musical is based on - I was too young when I read it the first time so it was a *slog* but it's my favorite musical and has a lot of meaning for me personally, and I did enjoy the book when I re-read and actually finished it)
Favorite Superheroes: (not sure I have 5; I am not a superheros person 😅)
- Spiderman aka the only Marvel Tsum Tsum I allow in my collection
- Deadpool for the humor
- The Ninja Turtles if they count? And/Or the Power Puff Girls?
- Batman I guess? I have a tangential relationship with Batman because one of my mutuals is really into Batman and Robin and Danny Phantom crossovers which I have been looking at curiously. So a Blorbo-In-Law
- Iron man (sometimes?)
Favorite Super Villains:
- I don't have any 😅😅 sorry! (Unless Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls counts as a supervillain... Or Doofenshmertz from Phineas and Ferb.... Or Gru from Despicable Me yes I like the movies leave me alone /hj)

- Fentiman's Rose Lemon Soda (it's from Britain so they call it lemonade but it's a soda.)
- Strawberry Limeade from Sonic 😅
- Peach Basil hard cider (for the taste; I just like basil for some reason. It comes from Sweden! ☺️)
- Tea! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 (Simpson and Vail have a blend called Shakespeare which is like black tea with rose, lavender, and rosemary, and it's *amazing* but I do enjoy most hot teas and iced teas)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to pedal steel guitarist Joe Alterio, composer John Antes, Dave Appell, Roscoe Arbuckle, J.S. Bach’s BRANDENBURG CONCERTOS (1721), Joseph Barbera, the 1980 Beatles RARITIES LP, Beethoven’s MISSA SOLEMNIS (1824), Laura Flynn Boyle, Sharon Corr, Don Covay, Fanny Crosby “Queen of Gospel Songwriters,” Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk), Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gorgeous George, the 1988 musical GOSPEL AT COLONUS, civil rights activist Dorothy Height, Connie Hines (Mr. Ed), Patterson Hood (Drive By Truckers), Harry Houdini, Yanks Janis, Carol Kaye, Mike Kellie (Spooky Tooth), Krisdayanti, Kelly LeBrock, Pacemaster Mase (De La Soul), Steve McQueen (got that song waiting for you), Malcolm Muggeridge, Nivea, Lee Oskar, Paradox Thought, Joseph Priestley, cellist Hank Roberts, Klavdiya Shulzhenko, Billy Stewart, Dorothy Stratton, Sylvester the Cat, Dougie Thompson (Supertramp), Fred Vail, Boogie Bill Webb, Tommy Wilson, and the great singer-songwriter, producer, and entertainer Nick Lowe. If you collected all the recordings he’s produced, played on, and/or wrote songs for (plus the cover versions), you’d have an amazing, well-rounded record library par excellente. He’s intersected with Johnny Cash, Elvis Costello, Dave Edmunds, and a galaxy of other notables. Seeing him with Rockpile (twice) left an indelible impression on me in terms of stage presence and entertainment value. When his PURE POP FOR NOW PEOPLE LP came out, it became required listening in my social circle. I read that Nick never does live performances of his song “I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass” (allegedly a comeback to a Blondie song). So here’s my take of it, live at the Cellblock (opening for The Badlees). Meanwhile, HB Nick!

The Kuwagata Demon Bodyguard
Ultraman Chronicle D: After finishing telling the story of The Absolute Conspiracy, Riku and Pega are getting ready to head home, offering Deban a future visit to Nebula House. Marluru relates GUTS-Select's own experience with the Absolutians, before Roku and Pega leave, Deban and Marluru enjoying a quiet moment.
High School: Daisuke is wondering about the new heroine still, as they walk to school the girls spot him, and encourage Mako to go talk to him. When he confirms his interest in the new hero Mako almost tells him, but then recalls the beat downs she's had from villains so far and doesn't, then finds Kireko is getting angry at Daisuke again. Preparations for the festival have now completed the sign, as well as special MentaiPizza boxes, but the teacher is getting increasingly aggravated by disruption to his classes. At Ohga Pharmacy, Tanaka and Ohgaman assist a customer before Ohgaman heads for an appointment, to the teacher's frustration taking over Mako's class. Again at Bincho Fire's restaurant, various Aku no Himitsu Kessya members lament their losses against MAKO, but receive encouragement from Bincho Fire, truly inspiring them to go out again, leaving Shaberryman with the bill. Mako, Kireko and Ohgaman talk after school, after Ohgaman leaves Kireko notes while he doesn't remember, he finds Ohgaman's attitude to be like a connection to his past. They're yhen confronted by Gallia, Gulf, Nectaris and Maid Shitsuji, and unsure of she can handle all of them, Mako changes nonetheless, but being overpowered, opts to run on Kireko's advice. At AnimeSong Subculture Bar, the teacher drowns his sorrows, Ohgaman joined him and tells him he finds him inspiring, the teacher relates his sorrowful past, bullied as a kid and as a young teacher a student he tried to steer off the wrong path ignored him, before collapsing at the bar. After hours of fighting MAKO is defeated, only for them to be stumbled on by Ohgaman and the unconscious teacher, who takes a moment to scold Mako for being out so late before collapsing again. Ohgaman, knowing Mako is a new hero, has her join him in fighting the villains. He walks straight through the Caramis, leaving them for MAKO, and takes on the four villains, teaching her the importance of focused attacks by taking down all 4 in 4 blows, MAKO cuts down all the Caramis in a line, and then they deliver a joint finish. Ohgaman patches up the teacher when a policeman stops by telling them to not be out so late, but recognises the teacher, revealing himself as the student from the flashback, eventually encouraged to turn his life around by the teacher. Ohga Pharmacy has supplied the class with plenty of sanitizer for the stand, as the teacher comes in, announcing he's now on board with the festival plans, presents custom t-shirts he's had made. Uzagi comes to disrupt class and is swiftly dispatched by Ohgaman, but he accidentally breaks a window and damages the sign in the process, calling Yahata Construction for repairs, the president sending El Brave in.
Revice: Akemi beats down Revice when they try to help Daiji, Vail then forcing them to focus on him, then she beats down Sakura. Hikaru wants to run and help her, but Tasuke has to physically stop him. Vail runs out of energy, and Akaishi has the others leave, telling them he has no desire to harm his "family". At Happy Spa, Ikki brings up to Daiji his current behaviour. At Weekend, Hana patches Sakura, and Masumi explains why they will fight back despite Giff's truth. Tamaki spots Hikaru training, tellingn him how he feels worthless but has determination to do what he can, inspiring Hiakaru somehow. George apologises to Daiji that he isn't going to be able to fight with them with his injury, and advises not losing sight if himself. Akasihi has assigned Daiji to his guard detail for the speech. Akaishi restores Vail, warning not to kill the Igarashi Siblings. Ikki convinces Vice not to worry about being a Devil like Vail said, but about being Vice. Daiji words a promise to Akemi to restore Fenix. George rushes to the base where the speech is being delivered, as Daiji communicates to Ikki and Sakura to notmact until the speech begins, intending to attack Akaishi to publicly expose him as the others will have to fight Akemi, Vail and the Giftarians. Akaishi begins his speech, relating his intention that humanity allow Giff to rule them. Daiji interrupts, but before he can expose Akaishi, the man launches his counter plan, having Akemi attack him so Daiji has to fight her. As Holy Live fights, Akaishi makes a show of being injured, saying they don't know how long the Riders can resist Giff, then opens Giff's portal, It emerges, and atomises the other Fenix soldiers, then Vail stops the siblings from acting, fighting Revice as Jeanne tries to fight the Giftarians even as more appear. Hikaru approaches George for his help. Akaishi has Akemi "kill" him, with the others weakened Revice attempts to attack Giff and is instantly repelled. Giff then ravages the siblings bodies with energy, and destroys all of Fenix's vehicles including Skybase. Akaishi uses his " last words" to say subjecting to Giff is the only option. Hikaru rushes in wearing the Demons Driver, using the Kuwagata ViStamp to become Kamen Rider Over Demons, quickly repelling the enemies and grabbing the siblings to escape. At Weekend, Tasuke praises Hikaru for his actions, as Masumi announces they will be moving into the spotlight. A still desperate to restore Fenix Daiji is approached by Akaishi, who essentially invites him to join in leading humanity.
Donbrothers: To try and work out how the Juto are appearing, Sonoi takes Sonoza and Sonomi to Jin's cell, explaining he is a guardian, being punished for his sin by guarding the seal on the Juto. Jin doesn't believe the Juto could have appeared, but accepts Sonoi's certainty, warning to beware the Juto's origami, including what they depict. The Juto possessed Sayama has returned to work, simply folding origami until they get a tip on Inuzaka, who is dismissed from a pot washing job after daydreaming about Natsumi and dropping dishes, he runs from the detectives, while Sayama rampages in the restaurant, then chases Inuzaka down, even after he escapes through a door, forcing an origami cat into his mouth before the fugitive can get away. Taro delivers a package to a man obsessed with becoming a ninja, easily besting him. Tsuyoshi finds Inuzaka collapsed on his doorstep, rushing to Taro for help. The ninja, possessed by ShurikenKi, swears revenge on Taro. Haruka arrives as Tsuyoshi's, sent by Taro to help with Inuzaka, who briefly deliriously confuses her with Natsumi, before Saruhara also arrives. ShurikenKi attacks Taro, who fights. Saruhara advises Tsuyoshi feign being sick at the hospital to get medicine for Inuzaka, then has to have a chat with Haruka when she almost gives away their being Donbrothers, she remembers seeing KijiBrother's face but doesn't remember it. While Tsuyoshi is in a different room all 3 are dragged to the battle, only for Taro to tell them to focus on Inuzaka, so Haruka and Saruhara return. Tsuyoshi went to the hospital after getting inured, but doesn't actually get medicine, instead Haruka gives Inuzaka his laxative, so they have to prepare some porridge, while waiting Saruhara and Haruka head back to the fight, Tsuyoshi has a fall, then is dragged also to the battle, Saruhara and Haruka return to him collapsed and the porridge ruined. Saruhara decides on a more superstitious method, they let Tsuyoshi focus on that and join the fight again, Tsuyoshi is dragged in again, this time still doing the ritual, thus revealing KijiBrother's identity to SaruBrother and OniSister. Miho returns home, finding the house empty aside from a stranger, Inuzaka, in the bed, then suddenly her neck cracks, and she pulls the origami from his mouth, looking down at him, he sees her, recognising Natsumi, for a moment, but she's gone when he sits up, he thinks he was dreaming, before also being dragged to the battle. He manages to quite in accident give them an advantage, they all use Robotaro to defeat ShurikenKi. Sat alone at home, Miho suddenly starts making origami eventually folding a crane.

Chapter 1
A broken heart wasn’t meant to send you into enemy territory at one in the morning. But try telling my wolf that. He heard the name Vail, and he was ears forward and tail up. Ready to charge into the devil’s den. Didn’t care that my blood claw was still wet with my dad’s blood. That he’d called her my ruin as his life drained out of him. Or that the last time I’d seen her, she’d been full of Wolf Fire, and writhing on a bed with my lieutenants. My wolf just wanted her scent in his nose and her wrist marked up with his claim. And if he couldn’t have that, he wanted his teeth at the throat of whoever had taken her from us. 
I’m a little hazy on the end of the previous book, but didn’t it end with Jasper telling Vail to fuck all the way off?
Why is he suddenly panting after her again?
“You made sure she has no idea who she is. And the one thing she was saddest about at the academy? How clueless she was. About our world, but mostly about herself. That’s all on you.”
And yet, Jasper himself never once stepped up and tried to teach her. 
Pot, kettle, black.
“You’re wrong. She’s still a nobody. And she and I aren’t anything to each other.”
Then why are you here?
“Lie to yourself, Alpha, but you know what else you smell like? Her mate. And if you don’t do exactly what I tell you, she’ll be dead before she’s eighteen.”
Chapter 1 summary: Jasper goes to a diner to meet up with Vail’s… the narration says that he’s not her father, but IDK what else to call him. The man who raised her, until he himself had to disappear. 
Despite Jasper having dropped Vail at the end of the previous book, he goes anyway. He knows that it’s probably stupid, but he kind of doesn’t care. 
Inside, Michael tells Jasper some about how dangerous that Vail’s bio grandfather actually is. That she was kept safe where she had been, until she was sent to the school. (So go yell at Driftwood.) He wants Jasper to keep Vail safe. Jasper insists that she’s nobody to him, but that earns him a slap from Michael. He warns that if Jasper wants to keep his mate, he’d better act fast. Or else Vail won’t live to see 18. 
Chapter 2
“You come by my place tomorrow night. Eight o’clock. And dress pretty. We’re having a party.”
I love how Vail’s love interests are a creepy guy who can’t take no for an answer… and a creepy guy who can’t take no for an answer. 
Because unlike back at the academy, I was my own boss out here. With Driftwood away, it fell to me to finish getting the house ready for the winter.
My main problem with Vail is that she’s so goddamned stupid. 
Her foster father literally sold her to the werewolf school. And she knows exactly what’s waiting for her if she were to return home. 
YET SHE WENT BACK ANYWAY. 
Like girl, move to the city, lie about your age, and get a job waitressing to pay the bills. Literally nothing is stopping you!
 After throwing together a pickle-free sandwich…
Was telling us about your sandwich necessary to the continuation of the story?
I ground my teeth and pulled my hooded snow coat on, zipping it up tight. “Let’s go.”
Chapter 2 summary: Back over to Vail, who for some unholy reason, went back to the house she shared with Driftwood and Darkness. She’s currently up in a tree, trying to track a wolf that she keeps convincing herself that she’s seen. She knows that it’s not Jasper, but again, this girl is delulu. 
This is where Trey finds her. He makes these gross passes at her, and demands that she come to his house for a party that night. Vail is like “thanks but no thanks.” 
She goes inside, where she starts winter prepping the house, which is randomly empty with Darkness at a new school, and Driftwood having fucked off. She also cleans up the house.
After finishing, she goes to stand in the door to Darkness’s empty room, and then Trey shows up. He implies that he knows that Vail wants to fuck her foster-brother, but never once acknowledges the fact that they are foster-siblings. It’s weird. He then demands that she get dressed for this party, but Vail complains that she’s tired from having cleaned all day. However, her tune changes when Trey says that Darkness is at his house, so she goes to get ready.
