#but I do not see why we have to add liars to the list

[chirpsythismorning]

People keep posting in the tag like WHERE ARE THE LEAKS bc we keep talking about it.

To be clear, there are no leaks. And I feel like it’s disingenuous to keep humoring stuff that we know for a fact is false. Like it’s 100% false and there is no room for speculation.

And then on top of that not giving the full context of the situation that led us here, because a lot of fans just popping in obviously don’t have that context. They hear the word leak and they get excited and then it just spirals to something that complicates things even more.

To be clear, there was one account on Twitter that is known for having sources and getting leaks. This one account said they got a spoiler in their inbox. They did not share that source nor the spoiler. That’s where the supposed leak ends. That’s it.

Since that happened, fans have been unhinged making claims they have a source too.

I understand being misinformed because you don’t have all the information. And that’s why it’s harmful to humor stuff as if it has an ounce of validity when we know it doesn’t, creating confusion.

If there was ever a leak, it’ll come from a source directly, and it’ll likely end up on the Hawkins AV Club on Reddit. IF you want leaks, join that sub and wait it out. THEN if and when something happens, there will likely be a list of leaks based on what comes from that. THIS is when there will be fans saying they have a leak, when really all they have is the leak the sub has. If fans said they had leaks in the past and they ended up being accurate, it came from that sub, not from their personal source. And so that’s my issue with taking claims fans have sources seriously rn, bc there are no leaks for them to even claim they have. They’re just trolling and using the past of having leaks that weren’t even theirs in the first place, as an excuse for why they magically have some now. But they don’t.

And seeing fans take these claims seriously, when its coming from people very intentionally mocking bylers, like it’s hard to watch.

It’s not a matter of maybe it’s true maybe it’s not. It’s not true. And spending time confusing people over it as if there’s a chance it could be true, is going to make this hiatus miserable bc we are clearly struggling to think critically about what’s worth our time, as if it’s worth confusing other fans over, based simply on just wanting stuff to talk about.

Of course we’re bored and lacking content. There is still plenty of stuff we can do that doesn’t involve falling for stuff specifically made to mock us by antis.

And now people elsewhere are saying the leaks came from byler tumblr, which isn’t even true, and we’re getting shit on for something that wasn’t our doing in the first place. We get enough hate as it is for simply shipping byler, and now we have to deal with claims that we are making up stuff. People are going to think and say what they want about us, but I dread that we’re giving them ammo to criticize us even more for stuff that we never started in the first place.

#byler #pls pls pls do not spread stuff unless you are certain it’s true #you’re creating a paradox of confusion #if you have a source and you’re very confident in it #by all means share #but otherwise refrain from starting a game of telephone #where now we have to explain the context to every person that comes on #bc they’re misinformed based on that false speculation #like idc if ppl hate us bc we ship byler #but I do not see why we have to add liars to the list #like it just looks so bad and embarrassing for us when that’s the last thing we need #and the thought of this reaching important people from the show… #that bylers are making shit up… #like it would be humiliating that if the first time they acknowledge byler tumblr it’s to say that we’re lying and creating fake leaks… #worst nightmare actually #we are smart over here and we deserve credit for the good shot we’re doing #not for creating and spreading fake leaks

This Week in BL - Cameos & Familiar Faces

Entirely subjective yadda yadda. Organized by favs in each category. No numbered lists anymore, tumblr be buggn'.

End of Aug Start Sept 2023

Ongoing Series - Thai

Laws of Attraction (Sat iQIYI) 8fin - Oh the DRAMA. Why does the insane ex (my true love) remind me of the cartel leader from Romancing the Stone? Even the sides got HEA! It was fucking great!!!!! Charn remains a bonkers spoiled evil murderous brat with a cruel smile beloved by his one true paladin. Also: post it love note trope! Been a long while my old friend. NO SINGING!!!!! I do love that wedding jacket frock coat cape thing Charn wore. 

In conclusion: This is a great gay suspense thriller with several solid couples, fun plot, killer characters, queer rep, and a happy ending. Charn may be my favorite lead character of 2023. However, this show is not entirely BL, more on the fringe, like Manner of Death. Add that to several "singing incidents" and pairs being a little weak in the chemistry arena, and this lands safely in 9/10 territory. It’s tons of fun tho: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 

I Feel You Linger in the Air (Sat grey) ep 3 of 12 - This show is getting more and more lakorn each ep. Apparently the straights are having a class divide arranged marriage crisis. Who cares? Our boy is ALWAYS in trouble. Crazy that he has to save the people who betrayed him in a previous life - but I guess he chose revenge! That's unexpected.

Had to switch to grey and couldn’t find a working rip. It was frustrating and I wouldn’t have bothered except I like this show so much. Still, it means no screen caps because the rez is naff.

Dangerous Romance (Fri YT) ep 3 of 12 - Uh oh. Kang wants to save Sailom and be his hero. The fact that K’s Pa puts no pressure on him whatsoever, makes me wonder if K's Ma committed suicide or something? It’s definitely the opposite parental dynamic we normally see in BL. I have to say, the pacing is great in the show. And the acting is on point. It’s really great. 

Hidden Agenda (Sun YT) ep 8 of 12 - these two just kiss well. I mean not "rip your clothes off Taiwan-style," but sweet young boyfriends-esk. Joke wants to be claimed so bad. It’s great. I enjoyed this ep, unfortunately it looks like we have a manufactured angst drama drop in the next episode. Is this a 10 episode arc? I thought it was 12. It’s odd to have doom happening next episode already.

Only Friends (Sat YT) ep 4 of 10 - Back story time! Ray and Mew are HARD to watch. Incestuous friend group gay is the worst. Omg I got such QAF vibes from this ep. Nick Boston Sand chats = very throw back 90s gay soaps. 

Location game moment: Top's hotel room is also Chan’s apartment in Laws Of Attraction. 

Naughty Babe (Sat YT) ep 1 of 8 - Ooo. Est is back! Hi handsome. Head of security suits you. Please lead out the new Waterboyy remake? You’re perfect for the role. (If it must happen.) Yi’s Pa is GREAT. Please give daddy a nice boy? Could that be our secondary couple for this series? 

Meanwhile, with the leads (sorry I was distracted by daddy) we got us an arranged marriage, run away bride, and an amnesia trope. Put in a secret baby and it's squarely 1980's Harlequin. Will there be Vikings? Sex herbs? Pirates? Dub con?

Be Mine Super Star (Mon Viki) ep 9 of 12 - Again with lovely sex scenes, it’s just the plot stringing them together is frayed. Also don’t fuck in an onsen. Both yech and ouch.

That goes for all y’all.  

Wedding Plan (Wed YT & iQIYI) ep 7fin - Trash watch here! Honestly this was an okay ending, I’m not mad at it. If you can tolerate Mame and liars (kinda the same thing) you’ll be fine with this show.

Summation: An innocent wedding planner falls haplessly and hopelessly in love with a groom who relentlessly pursued him, even though he’s about to marry someone else. A somewhat lackluster mame offering with less of the usual stellar chemistry, but all of the usual lies and manipulation. 7/10

Love in Translation (Sat iQIYI) ep 3 of 10 - I skip everything to do with Tammy and it’s fine. There’s only about 20 minutes of fine but that’s more than enough. On the bright side. So far. No singing.

My Universe (Sun iQIYI) ep 2 of 24 eps - Cassanova Begins Part 2. Aw. It was sad. Another variation on the “my ghost boyfriend” trope (usually sad). 2/10 I don't do sad BL.

Next up is Merry Go Round featuring the pair from Destiny Seeker (we likey) who want to marry each other, but end up fake engaged to the same woman. Beard squared? Looks silly.

Crazy Handsome Rich (Sun Gaga) ep 1 of 10 - There are 2 things I like about this. I bet you can guess what they are.

Lee Long Shi

The whipping boy trope

There wasn’t enough of either in this first ep. ALSO the captions, sound effects, and voice over are truly next level bad. Utterly atrocious.

The 2 leads fucking around in the end credits was the funniest part of the whole show. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Jun & Jun (Korea Thur Viki) ep 7 of 8 - I am confused and frustrated about what the communication delay is between the two Juns. It feels artificial and narratively manufactured. But since this is a short form KBL and I know it will be resolved quickly, I’m not as annoyed as I would be if this were Thai BL. Still it feels audience manipulative. I also feel sorry for Simon. BUT it looks like it’ll be a sweet boyfriends final episode.

Stay By My Side (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 10fin - Omg they’re so cute!!! Taiwan the purveyors of ultimate sappy gay domesticity. I am going to miss having these to nonsencing all over my dash.

This show was an interesting take on the "ghost boyfriend" trope. About a boy who is tormented by hearing the dead, except when he is around one other boy - desperation+proximity = love. Unfortunately, the story was erratic and waffled about. While the leads turned in solid performances and the sappy domesticity was off the charts, it never really had the strength of the narrative convictions such a strong concept should have supplied. Highly rewatchable and enjoyable for that sappy domesticity but not a whole lot more. Still I always give extra credit for the diabetes-inducing sugar content and rewatch capacity. 8/10 

Kisseki: Dear to Me (Taiwan Tues Viki & iQIYI) eps 3 of 13(?) - I love the punching thing - there is a lot of violent flirting in this show. I’m not mad about it. Ugh, poor thing has real abandonment issues. And now trust issues. I see why we’re getting 12-14 eps. This gonna be MESSY.

Meanwhile, does EVERYONE have a guest cameo? Not that I’m complaining. Hi BLIHID boys! Now I need to rewatch that show. 

Love Class Season 2 (Korea Fri Viki) eps 7-8 of 10 - Oh my God the next morning w/ couple 2 was so darn cute. They are all such terrible flirts with each other. Honestly, this show makes me laugh more than any other BL currently airing. I’m not sure it is meant to be as funny as I find it. While couple 3 (the mature characters) is by far my favorite, I actually think they don’t work with the other two pairs, they feel superfluous to the show. I like the show better because they’re in it, but it feels like two different BL‘s stuck together. KBL certainly can’t handle more than two couple threads at the same time. 

Why R U? (Korea Wed iQIYI) eps 3-4 of 8 - Ugh. I am such a sucker for the FighterTutor dynamic. Why so good? Uh oh. Real kiss! KBL you're spoiling us. But, isn’t sad-seme-hyung dating some chick? Argh. Poor Sunwoo. This show is even worse at repping Fighter's character sympathetically. Who knew that was possible?

My Personal Weatherman AKA Taikan Yoho (Japan Sat Gaga) ep 3 of 8 - The date episode! Even Japan is doing it now. And these two who have been living/fucking together for ages still dance around each other like junior high kids. I gotta say, I watch this one twice because Vicki has different subs from Gaga. I feel like it’s easier to understand if I watch two different translations of the same script. But it’s still quite a taciturn piece. 

Minato's Laundromat Season 2 AKA Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 (Japan Thu Gaga) ep 8 of 12 - Sides are great. It was mostly a cute ep with tiny bits of Progress and a proper Confession. I miss Shin’s siblings. And then… the much loathed amnesia trope. Really?

Everyone say it with me: Must you, Japan? 

Stay Still (Hong Kong Tues YouTube) ep 5fin - It ended happier than I was expecting. Optimistic for one couple, and most likely optimistic for the other.

Summation: What to say about this offering from Hong Kong? It’s different, a mix of early CBL, Taiwanese shorts, and Pinoy visuals. It felt like the story was 2 independent shorts that had been lengthen and then stuck together, and I wish they'd been approached as separate and tighter entities. Nevertheless, this was a complex little piece,  interesting in a sweaty grungy way, with a certain aura of queer authenticity that made it simultaneously tense, unpredictable, and refreshing. I’m not sure I would necessarily call it BL, but any county’s early foray into the genre usually starts out this way, so perhaps nascent BL? Worth watching, especially if you enjoy stuff from the Philippines and Taiwan. 7/10

In case you missed it

Dinosaur Love ended its run but the final 2 eps are behind a paywall. Word on the street is they aren't good anyway (shocker) so I'm marking it as DNF and moving on with my life. If I can find em grey I'll watch 'em merely so I can give it a rating, but I can't imagine it will get more than 5/10. Seriously, do not bother.

Next Week Looks Like This:

Coming September

9/15 You Are Mine (Taiwan Gaga) Secretary has to deal with grumpy boss.

9/15 Bump Up Business AKA Bump Up Project (Korea movie) suspected cinema release? I don't know much about what's going on. Last status update. Love story between a trainee who is about to debut and a celebrity from the same agency. Kpop boy group OnlyOneOf has signed up to star in this idol-based BL (based on a webtoon). They’ve been auditioning for this since Libido IMHO. You can watch me chronicle their BL MV series in this post. It’s from Idol Romance who will do sad but can do good kisses (Wish You, Nobleman Ryu, Once Again, Kissable Lips, Poongduck 304, Tasty Florida, Tinted With You).

9/26 I Cannot Reach You AKA I Can't Reach You AKA Kimi ni wa Todokanai (Japan ????) - Adapted from the manga, childhood best friends: The cool, smart one who’s good at everything, and his average, dorky friend who struggles. Always by the other’s side, but not together in the way they truly want to be. No matter how hard they try, their hearts cannot reach each other.

9/27 Absolute Zero (Thai iQIYI) - from 2021, Studio Wabi Sabi and New Siwaj finally bring us this “time loop to prevent tragedy” romance. We don’t always get HEAs from them, so I'm on my guard.

9/? Venus in the Sky (Thai iQIYI) 10 eps

9/? Mr Cinderella 2 (Vietnam YouTube?)

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED).

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

Hidden Agenda hitting us up with a hug + lap + kiss. Very nice.

I think these two might be GMMTV's best cuddlers.

Boys, I think your JoongDunk is showing.

"What would you do if they never found us out?"

"We kept everything professional."

"Something's changed, it's something I like."

"Wait 'til you see half the things that haven't happened yet."

"I could see you being my addiction."

"You can see me as a secret mission."

CASTLES CRUMBLING

"Now, I fear I have fallen from grace."

"I feel like my castle's crumbling down."

"You don't want to know me, I will just let you down."

"You don't wanna know me now."

"I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart."

"My foes and friends watch my reign end."

"i don't know how it could've ended this way."

"People look at me like I'm a monster."

"Now they're screaming that they hate me."

"Never wanted you to hate me."

FOOLISH ONE

"My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand."

"Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans."

"You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high."

"I will block out these voices of reason in my head."

"You are not the exception. You will never learn your lesson."

"Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come."

"I know how to act like I'm fine."

"I know I can't call you mine."

"How could I not see the signs?"

"Maybe I will finally learn my lesson."

TIMELESS

"Somehow, I know that you and I would've found each other."

"In another life, you still would've turned my head."

"You still would've been mine."

"We would've been timeless."

"I believe that we were supposed to find this."

"Even in a different life, you still would've been mine."

"Hundreds of years ago, they fell in love, like we did."

"It was like an age-old classic the first time that you saw me."

"Sometimes there's no proof, you just know."

"You're always gonna be mine."

"We really were timeless."

hello !! how are you ? i loved your quackity angst fic:) anyways, I would like to request a quackity x reader imagine in which reader and Karl are live-streaming/making a yt vid - whichever you’d like. Where they are making prank calls to their friends and Karl ends up choosing quackity for his prank call where he pranks quackity by saying “i think i like y/n.” Quackity not knowing reader is there too accidentally confesses that he likes the reader as well (the reader likes him too but q doesn’t know) you can add or change anything !! thank you in advance !

pairing: Quackity x gn!reader

requested: yes by anon

warnings: swearing

word count: 785

a/n: STOP I LOVE THIS REQUEST, IT HAD ME BLUSHING DJHDIBIWB (not proof read sorry lols)

“Karl! Who are we calling next?” y/n says in a singing tone before grabbing his phone scrolling through his contacts.

“Y/n is clearly obsessed with prank calling now, I have created a monster,” Karl sits in front of the camera laughing as y/n is still scrolling through his phone.

“You literally have no friends Karl,” they mumbled sitting in the wheely desk chair next to him. He snatched the phone from their hand and looked at the limited number of contacts.

“Okay yeah I have like 3 people in my contacts,” he showed the camera his contact list obnoxiously giggling.

“How about Quackity? He will probably be up editing or something.” Karl suggests showing y/n his phone. They nod clicking the ‘Call’ button before Karl could tell the camera anything.

Quackity is sat on his bed textbooks and notes covering any sign of a blanket or even mattress. He groans and crumbles the 4th piece of paper for the night throwing it aimlessly away from himself. His blaring ringtone fills his room, completely drawing his attention away from the so very important paper that his professor wants submitted by midnight.

“Karl? It’s literally almost midnight what could you possible need?” Quackitys voice is weak and tired, he rubs his eyes fighting the urge to just throw himself back and going to bed.

Karl and y/n look at each other, they definitely did not think about what to say because of y/n pure excitement to call him. Y/n typed something onto an open word doc Karl had open on his PC. ‘Say you like someone in the smp or smth???’ it read. Karl just nods knowing who exactly he was going to fake his feelings for.

“Hey Q, I uh I need to tell you something. I didn’t know who to tell and I feel like you would be the best to tell,” Karl speaks into the phone then covers his face preventing his laughs to be picked up.

“What is it?”

“I like y/n,”

Y/n throws their head back silent laughs coming from their mouth. However, on Quackitys end there is pure silence. Quackity likes y/n, how could Karl as well?

“You’re kidding right?” He sputters out tears about of fall. It was now him covering his mouth, how did he not see that coming? They are best friends of course Karl likes y/n they’re perfect. He couldn’t stop the tears anymore they streamed down his face.

“Yeah kinda, do you reckon they might like me back?” He questions, y/n is now on the floor in hysterics. There is no way he believes this right? Karl is the worst liar in the history of liars.

“I mean there is no way they can’t you guys are best friends, and I mean why wouldn’t they you’re perfect for each other. Everyone can see that. Only an idiot would like y/n knowing you’re their best friend.” Quackity whispered into the phone barely believing the words coming out of his mouth. He doesn’t wait for Karls response but just hangs up.

“Fuck,” Quackity drops his phone onto his textbook mountain.

“Fuck!” He then grabs his phone again throwing it of his bed.  

“Bro what the fuck was that?” Karl says through the phone. Quackity didn’t hang up, he clicked the speaker button by accident and closed his phone. He could hear Karls voice from his floor and when he looks off the side of his bed he see ‘On Going Call’.

“I didn’t hang up?”

“No man, are you okay?”

Y/n had turned off the camera at the point of Quackitys big speech, Karl and y/n shared a confused look as they listen for what he had to say. A whisper is sent through the phone, they barely hear it but catch the end.

“I like y/n too,” His voice was soft, almost defeated. Y/n slaps their hand over their mouth. Karls mouth is fully agape and an awkward silence falls between the call. Y/n reaches over to his phone and clicks mute.

“I fucking like him bro,” They say completely shocked.

“I know that dumbass why do you think I called him,” He answered in an obvious tone. He shoves his phone into y/ns hands and leaves the room.

“Tell him,”

“Karl? I am so-“Quackity begins.

“Do you actually like me,” They cut him off.

“Y/n? You weren’t meant to hear that!”

“Answer the question because if not then what I am about to say is going to make me sound like an idiot,”

“Yeah I do,”

“I like you too, Quackity,”

Quackitys face brightens, his smile reaches his ears, and he starts kicking his legs giddly.

“This is when you ask me out on a date Q,”

“You are nothing but a liar.”

Life On Mars? (Dustin Henderson x Reader): Chapter Two: Hellfire Joins In

Description: Dustin tells the Hellfire Club about him fake dating Y/n at breakfast, then she talks to Hellfire at lunch.

Warning (s): cursing, mild kissing, mention of kissing

Masterlist Navigation

Dustin's Pov

I leave Y/n with her friends and join the rest of the Hellfire Club at the table next to Mike.

What the hell was that, Henderson? Eddie stands and asks angrily.

"Y/n Harrington? You two are dating?" Gareth enquires.

"What happened to Suzie?" Mike asks a query.

"We broke up," I reply. "We're trying to convince her friends that I'm her boyfriend, we're not actually dating."

Eddie says, "Looked pretty real to me."

I sneer, "It was supposed to,"

"That's fair," says Jeff in reply.

Chris nods in agreement. (AN: Wikipedia refers to him as "Unnamed Freak," but I'm going to call him Chris because he looks like a Chris.)

~

Y/n's Pov

Together with my friends Elena, Jessie, and Amber, we head to my locker. When I arrive, Dustin is already waiting while chatting with Chrissy and Lucas. He looks up when he sees me and says, "Hello, Honeybun."

I say, "Hey, Dusty."

In order for me to access my locker, Dustin moves away from it. He wraps an arm around my waist and gives me a cheek kiss.

Elena, Amber, and Jessie groan. Jessie announces, "We're going to lunch," and the three of them leave.

As soon as my friends are out of sight, Dustin releases his hold on me."I don't like this," Lucas says. "One day you'll get caught and be in deep shit."

"A lot of the cheer team will be angry with you," Chrissy adds.

"If that happens I'll say that it was a prank," I respond.

"You're a good liar," Lucas says, "I don't know if I should like that about you or not."

"You're a friend that I trust," I tell him, "So you should." I shut my locker and the four of us head to lunch.

Chrissy and I go sit with the cheerleaders once we have our lunch, Lucas with the basketball team, and Dustin with the Hellfire Club.

Why a nerd, Y/N? Hailey enquires.

He's cute, I like him, I dunno, I respond.

"How exactly did this happen?" Jesse queries.

I tell her, "He's best friends with Steve."

"What?" Amber asks with an odd expression.

I answer, "I don't know, but they're friends."

~

I ate my meal and then discarded my tray. I approach the table where Hellfire is seated. Eddie is shouting about the basketball team while standing on the table. He hops off the table when he sees me and lands a foot or so away. "If it isn't my favorite Certified Dumbass."

I say, "Hey, Titanium."

Eddie smirks jokingly, "One of my sheep told me that he's your fake boyfriend."

"Is that so?" I enquire, smirking in return.

"Yes", he responds. "I had best remain your favorite."

I respond, "Don't worry, you are. I begin to move in the direction of my friends, who are motioning for me to join them. When I walk behind Gareth, I stop and whisper to him, " You're actually my favorite."

~

I'm sitting in the driver's seat of my car with Dustin in the passenger seat.

"Do you think I went too far?" Dustin asks.

"No," I reply, "I think it was convincing."

"Okay," He mutters.

"You're a good kisser," I say mindlessly while backing out of the parking space. It's not until I see Dustin's flustered face that I realize what I had said. "Shit, I'm sorry. I don't have a filter."

"It's okay," He responds, his face bright red. "Looks like we're going to be doing more of it. I think you'd rather like it than hate it."

"That's true," I say.

Previous Part | (Series Masterlist)

It was late when you and Steve got home from seeing Peggy. You saw your neighbor with a load of laundry as she just got off the phone.

“You know you’re welcome to use our machine. Least we could do for all your help.”

“Oh, no problem. But I’ve already got a load in downstairs plus these scrubs have been to the infectious disease ward,” she laughed as Steve held up his hands. “Oh, I think you guys left your speaker on.”

“Oh, right. Thank you.”

Steve waited till she walked away, telling you to stay outside. You could both hear the jazz music coming from inside the house. Steve went back downstairs and snuck in through his window. He sighed when he saw it was Nick and stomped over to the door to open it for you.

“I don’t remember giving you a key.”

“You’d really think I’d need one? My wife kicked me out.”

“Didn’t know you were married.”

“A lot of things you don’t know about me.”

“Yeah, Nick. That’s kind of the problem.”

Steve went to turn on the lights and when he did you both almost gasped at the sight of Nick. He held up a finger telling you both to be quiet before clicking off the lamp closest to him. Nick typed up something on his phone for Steve to read: Ears Everywhere.

You screamed as the first few bullets stormed through your house and hit Nick. Steve threw you the shield while he dragged Nick to a safer spot towards the back of the apartment. Nick slipped something in Steve’s hand.

“Don’t trust anyone.”

Steve looked over as the door clicked open.

“Captain Rogers.”

You and Steve looked in confusion as your neighbor came in with a handgun.

“Captain, Sarah. I’m Agent 13 of S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Service.”

“Kate?”

“I’m assigned to protect you.”

“On whose order?”

“His,” Agent 13 said as she knelt over Nick’s body.

She pulled out a walkie talkie. “Foxtrot is down. He’s unresponsive. I need EMTs.”

“Do we have the shooter in custody?” the dispatcher asked.

Steve took the shield from you. “Tell him I’m in pursuit.”

You watched your dad jump from your apartment building to the one across the street while you stayed with Agent 13 until they whisked Fury away to a hospital. Nat came bursting into the waiting room where you and Steve were, watching them operate on Nick.

“Is he going to make it?”

“We don’t know,” Steve said.

“The shooter.”

“He’s fast. Strong. Had a metal arm.”

You tensed up. It didn’t go unnoticed by Steve and Nat. Steve pulled you in, cradling your head to keep your vision away from the window.

“You shouldn’t be watching this.”

He tried to shield you even more as they tried to revive Nick, failing in the end. Steve told you to wait in the hall while he and Nat mourned. Maybe it was pointless but he didn’t think you needed to add Nick to the alarmingly long list of people you’ve seen die in front of you. You looked up when Nat stormed into the hall with Steve hot on her trail.

“Natasha.”

“Why was Fury in your apartment?”

“I don’t know.”

“Cap, they want you back at S.H.I.E.L.D.” Rumlow interrupted.

“Sarah…”

“They want you now.”

“Okay.”

“You’re a terrible liar,” Nat said before walking off.

Steve looked around for a moment, his eyes landing on the vending machine, before turning back to you.

“Sarah, let’s go.” His hand was on your shoulder, guiding you out as you followed Rumlow and the STRIKE team back to headquarters.

~~

You and Steve were walking to the elevators when you saw Agent 13 in an office suit. Steve was about to leave on a mission and wasn’t sure what to do after talking with Nick, he didn’t feel comfortable leaving you with anyone he wasn’t sure of at the moment. Agent 13 spotted you guys since she was headed in the opposite direction.

“Captain Rogers.”

“Neighbor,” Steve said before his mouth hardlined.

You offer Agent 13 a small smile because Steve was more stubborn than you. But you kept walking with him because a part of you felt betrayed as well— you thought people were done lying and tricking you. A man stopped you two.

“Captain. I’m Alexander Pierce.”

“Sir, it’s an honor.”

“The honor’s mine. My father served in the 101st. Come on in, it’s nice to meet you Sarah. Will you wait outside while your father and I talk?”

You didn’t want to leave. Especially after last night, you were already struggling to let Steve go on his latest mission. Steve seemed to sense it because he grabbed your shoulder. You took out your hearing aids and handed them to Steve. Pierce swallowed but seemed to accept the compromise and you followed him into the office.

You looked out the window as they spoke, knowing you’d be able to read Pierce’s lips. When Steve stood up so did you and you followed him back out, almost knocking into him when he stopped suddenly after Pierce called his name.

One of the things you liked about S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters was that the elevators at the very end of the halls were glass and let you see the outside world. You and Steve looked out the glass as he commanded the elevator to take him somewhere. He turned around and so did you, now seeing that the elevator hadn’t started to go down because Rumlow and the STRIKE team was entering. Steve greeted them and you went back to looking at the window.

The elevator stopped not on your floor and more men piled in. Steve grabbed you and shifted you in front of him and closer to the doors as the elevator began to get packed. He looked over at the man next to him and watched a bead of sweat roll down his face. The elevator stopped once again and three more large men were standing there waiting to get on. Steve put your hearing aids back in.

“Sarah, take the next elevator.” He started to push you out of the elevator, not really able to follow with all the bodies.

“Come on, Cap. No one would ever think about it,” one of the men said.

“Can never be too careful, nothing personal guys. Four floors down, Babydoll.”

Steve signed as he spoke. But the words didn’t match. No one else would know but you were confused.

“Four floors down, Babydoll. Operations Room, got it?” Steve repeated with the same wrong signs: Don’t go home. Understood? Home. Don’t.

“Okay, Dad. Operations Room,” you said as Rumlow pushed the button for the elevator doors to start to close.

Steve carefully signed very close to his body so that no one else would see it.

Run.

You heard the crack of a taser wand the minute you sprinted. You looked behind you with wide eyes as you saw the men turn on Steve but you didn’t stop running because he told you to go. There was another STRIKE team about two floors down that were standing in front of you. You threw all your weight into the emergency exit stairs and ran before they could do anything. Less of the STRIKE team was following you, Steve being number one target. The plan was to use you as leverage because everyone knew Steve wasn’t going to leave his kid. One man got close until you turned and grabbed him, slamming him into the railing and then throwing him into the next closest agent.

Your lungs burned because even as half super-soldier, you chose not to stop until you were in a location where you felt you could hide in the crowd which pushed you past your limits. Steve said not to go home. Because they knew where he lived but where were you supposed to go. And how were you supposed to find him? Your phone was missing. You had chucked it at the security guard’s neck, the only space not covered, and never stopped to pick it up as you left S.H.I.E.L.D.

You ripped your hearing aids off, not even wanting them on, as you tried not to hyperventilate. No one seemed to notice or care as you crouched in the grass trying to think. You stood back up, put the aids in, and looked around. You knew this location. You walked, more like ran, with deliberation to the brick building.

“Baby Rogers! Where’s running ma— Sarah, are you okay?” Sam’s joking tone turned to one of concern as he saw you enter the VA building.

“Dad. They’re trying to kill my dad, he told me… I didn’t know anyone else to trust.”

“Okay, hey Sarah, you’re good. Alright. Do you know where he is now?”

“No! My phone, I lost—”

“Sarah, sweetheart, calm down. Do you know his number?”

Steve told you not to go home but now you weren’t picking up his calls. He didn’t have time to panic, he had one place to stop before starting a manhunt for you again. Steve checked the vending machine where he hid the flash drive Nick had given him. The machine was empty but he saw the reflection of Nat in the glass as she popped a bubble out of the gum she was blowing. Steve turned around and shoved her into an empty room and up against a wall.

“Where is it?”

“Safe,” Nat said.

“Do better.”

“Where did you get it?”

“Why would I tell you?”

“Fury gave it to you. Why?”

“What’s on it?”

“I don’t know.”

“Where’s Sarah?”

“Sarah’s missing?”

“Don’t bullshit me! Where’s my daughter?”

“I’m not. I only act like I know everything, Rogers. I don’t know what Fury said but I’m on your side.”

“I swe— hello?” Steve answered his phone. “Sarah?! Babydoll, are you okay? You’re not hurt are you?”

“I’m okay, Dad. I’m at—”

“No names, they could have the phone tapped. Hint, Babydoll.”

“…On your left.”

“My left… alright. I’ll find you okay. Stay on your left, three days.”

“Three days, promise?”

“Promise and I won’t call, I’ll be right there. Okay? I’m with you, Babydoll.”

“Till the end of the line?” You asked, remembering the Smithsonian visit. You felt like you needed extra reassurance and Steve seemed to say that a lot when he was Captain America in the 40s.

“Unh-unh. I’m with you past that, Sarah.”

“Three days. Love you, Dad.”

“Love you, too.”

The phone clicked off. Steve would’ve liked to hear those words under better circumstances and not said because you thought you actually might not hear or see him again. Steve turned back to Nat to press her for more information on what she did know.    

~~

The knocking on the door alerted Sam who was in the kitchen drinking orange juice after having just come from his morning run— you didn’t budge, having not heard a sound with your hearing aids on the table. He rolled up the blinds on the second glass door to see a dusty Nat and Steve.

“Hey, man.”

“I’m so sorry about this.”

“She’s in the kitchen.”

Sam moved aside for Steve to race past him and into the house. Your back was to them from where you were sitting at the table. Steve reached over you and knocked on the table. Immediately flying up from the chair, you hugged him in a death grip. After an eternity, you let go of Steve and hugged Nat before letting them both clean off in Sam’s bathroom.

“I made breakfast. If you guys eat that sort of thing,” Sam interrupted Steve and Nat’s talk.

“So the question is, who at S.H.I.E.L.D. could launch a domestic missile attack?” Nat asked.

“Pierce,” Steve answered.

“Who happens to be sitting on top of the most secure building in the world,” Nat retorted.

“But he’s not working alone.”

“Zola’s algorithm was on the Lemurian Star so was Jasper Sitwell.”

“So how do the two most wanted people in Washington kidnap a S.H.I.E.L.D. officer in broad daylight?”

“The answer is, you don’t.” Sam plopped down his old file in front of them. “Consider this a resume.”

“The Khalid Khandil mission,” Nat said, looking the file over. “That was you?”

“You didn’t say he was a Pararescue. Is this Riley?” Steve asked.

Sam handed them a second part of the file. Steve opened it, looking at the pictures inside.

“I thought you were a pilot.”

“I never said pilot.”

“I can’t ask you to do this, Sam. You got out for a good reason.”

“Dude, Captain America needs my help. Last one of those is in Fort Meade. Guarded heavily.”

“Shouldn’t be a problem,” Steve said as he dropped the file reading EXO-7 Falcon on the table.

Steve sighed. He now had to confront something he had been avoiding for months now. Steve looked at you.

“I’m taking you to your grandparents.”

“What? No!”

“We can’t risk you going to Clint’s. I found Elise’s parents, their house is on the way to Fort Meade. You’ll be safe wi—”

“No! I’m not going with them. You’re not leaving me again!”

“Sarah, it’s another mission. We’ve done this before, just once more and I’ll quit, okay?”

“No.”

“Sarah.”

“No! This isn’t another mission, it’s about S.H.I.E.L.D. I don’t want you to quit. I like my dad being Captain America but you’re not leaving me this time.”

~~

“Stay in the car,” Steve said as they left to go get Jasper Sitwell. “Don’t even argue. The car, stay here.”

You shut your mouth and sat back in the seat. Steve cradled the back of your head for a moment before he closed the car door. You couldn’t see where Steve and Nat had gone but you could see Sam sitting on the bench in front of where the car was parked on the curb. You were uncomfortably sandwiched between Jasper and Nat as the car sped off.

“Insight’s launching in sixteen hours. We’re cutting it close,” Nat said as she leaned over.

The window was suddenly smashed and Jasper was pulled from the car. Nat pushed you down and then launched herself into the front seat, maneuvering her body to cover Steve while pushing Sam to the edge of the car as much as possible. Steve shoved the gear shift into park. The car lurched forward and a man was thrown from the car.

You were about to get up from the floor of the car when a large Jeep slammed into the back, jostling you back to the floor. Nat attempted to find the gun that had fallen by Steve’s feet. The man used his metal arm to rip the steering wheel out of the car. He jumped onto the Jeep behind you guys before Nat could properly shoot him. The car began to swerve and hit other cars. The Jeep pulled back and rammed into the car again causing it to start to flip.

“Sarah!” Steve yelled.

He couldn’t reach you as the car flipped. He, Sam, and Nat fell out on the broken passenger’s side door. The door was sliding along the freeway and while Steve couldn’t see it, he had horror written all over his face as he imagined the car flipping over multiple times. Once the sliding stopped, he quickly stood up but didn’t have time to try and reach you as the metal armed man pointed a large grenade launcher at them. Steve shoved Nat and braced himself with the shield. The impact knocked him over the overpass and into a bus.

You heard the gunshots and stayed where you were in the car— partially because you felt very banged up. You groaned in slight pain as your right hand reached around gently for the hearing aid that had fallen out, trying not to cut yourself on glass. When it got quiet on the overpass, the only noise coming from the cars, you slowly and carefully slid yourself out of the car. You could see Sam shooting at the people below. Sam was relieved as you approached.

“Where’s my dad?”

“Going after the dude with the damn metal arm.”

“Metal arm?!”

You looked over the bridge, seeing Sam had gotten all but two. Two, that wasn’t so bad. Only four or five gunshots at the most maybe. You stood back and then ran at the overpass. Sam screamed your name but you ignored him, landing on one of the overturned cars before speeding off. Sam cursed as he went back to shooting before the two men could aim at you.

The sound that rang out when the metal arm of the Winter Soldier hit Steve’s shield was damn near deafening. Steve was kicked off the car and had to quickly use the shield to block his body from the shots. The metal arm had thrown him and was starting to give him a run for his money. But also because Steve was only half-focused on the fight.

The other half of his mind was stuck on the overpass where he wasn’t sure if his daughter had survived the car flipping over or not. His wandering mind caused him to lose the shield as the Winter Soldier threw it into a van. He flipped out a knife and Steve was now holding his hands inches away from his face.

“James! Soldat. Jamie!” you yelled as you ran into the street.

Steve and the Winter Soldier turned to you, confusion in both of their eyes. Steve snapped out of it first and kicked the man to escape. You ran in between the two of them as James’ fist almost connected with Steve’s face. You hissed at the pain from when you blocked it. You knew he wouldn’t hit you. Would he do anything to get around you and get to Steve? Probably. But he would try his hardest not to hit you… even if you attacked him. So you hit him in the face and pulled the mask off his face as he staggered back.

“Bucky?” Steve gasped.

“Who the hell is Bucky?” He began to stalk forward again.

“Jamie.”

He looked over at you. “It’s a mission, little doll.”

“He’s my dad, please Jamie.”

Bucky stopped. He ripped Steve’s shield out of the side of the van and shoved it back into Steve’s chest.

“Go. Before they take you back.”

“Come with us, we can help.”

You watched the recognition he had slowly get clouded again by something else.

“You said we’d escape together! Jamie…”

Sam kicked the Winter Soldier out of the way and then a grenade from Nat was thrown and after the smoke cleared, James was nowhere to be found.

“No!” You screamed as you looked around for him.

Black vans surrounded you. The four of you found yourself being forced to your knees by large men with guns. The only thing stopping your death was the news helicopter that suddenly appeared and Rumlow realizing how bad it could look. They stood you all up and you found yourself being taken to a separate van. Steve started to fight, struggling with the weird handcuffs he was placed in. You were being contained by multiple guards.

“Sarah! Sarah! Where the hell are you taking her? That’s my kid! Rumlow, that’s my fucking kid!”

“HYDRA wants their pet back.”

Sam, Steve, and Nat watched in horror as your body slowly went slack when Rumlow started speaking in Russian: Longing, Rusted, Seventeen, Daybreak, Furnace, Nine, Benign, Homecoming, Freight car.

“Ready to comply?”

“Ready to comply.” You turned to follow the soldiers.

“Sarah!”

“001.”

The guard called when they all noticed you turn around at Steve’s words. Steve called your name again and the recognition reappeared until the guard said 001. Before Steve could say another word, your hearing aids were ripped out and crushed. You were pushed into a separate van.

[fantasyinvader]

I was thinking about something.

The devs talked about how they hoped that players would immerse themselves into Fodlan, while Claude's route talks about how by getting to know someone by spending time with them you can clear up misconceptions you may have about them. I feel like these two aspects are supposed to go hand-in-hand, that we are supposed to have misconceptions early on about Fodlan and those misconceptions are cleared up by playing the various routes. That's what the red herrings surrounding Rhea and the Church are for, we are meant to distrust them early on but as we play we are meant to come to realize that they are the good guys just like Claude does in Verdant Wind. After all, the devs did also confirm that Fodlan was written to support Silver Snow's story, a route where the player leads the Church and the only one they can S support Rhea.

But that also means the world was built around the fact that Edelgard was a twist villain. The idea that Edelgard is a good guy is the misconception, as when you play her route and get to know her some red flags pop up. These red flags reveal the truth about her.

For all her talk about “merit,” she takes credit for Byleth's leadership and will end up appointing Caspar to lead the Imperial army. In the Japanese script, this means she put someone in charge of the army who can't keep them under control as they invade other countries. Likewise, Dorothea isn't given any title or status, in Flower she's not even listed as a general unlike the noble students.

For all Edelgard talks about history being corrupted, it's confirmed even before you find out about the knowledge that supposedly is passed down emperor to emperor that Edelgard's father was an Agarthan puppet. Edelgard will still tell you this version of history even after that event revealed that she knew the truth about her father and the experiments. So either Edelgard is knowingly ignoring the truth or just straight up lying. And considering how she lies repeatedly in Flower as well as her path being called out as the Animal Path in the Japanese, it could be either one. Of course, this stands in contrast to Claude and his evolving view on the Church in Wind.

And if you finish her route and S support her, in the Japanese she calls her path the path of supremacy, aka hadou, while Claude does the same thing in Verdant Wind. So Edelgard's methods in Flower are the same as the Edelgard you'd fight in Wind, such as how it's mentioned that she uses Demonic Beasts as “war assets.” And considering that Byleth's sword, called Sword of the Emperor of Heaven in Japan, is linked to the whole hadou thing it's pointing out that Byleth's duty was to remove Edelgard from power, not support her, which adds another layer to them losing Nirvana and the ability to use the Sword at the end of Flower. Hell, Edelgard's “Hero's Relic” is really an Agarthan tool to boot. She says that her path is no longer that of hadou in that support, now walking together with Byleth... but she's been shown to be a liar and that S support doesn't change the endings talking about invading other countries or Hubert's secret police. And, she still consolidates power on herself rather than give it to the people.

The game is written with Edelgard being the villain, and joining her means the player is still acting on their initial impression of her.

But there's also an aspect of this to Claude. In his support with Cyril, Cyril's first impression of Claude was someone who would smack down anyone if he needed to before Cyril gets to know Claude and see that he's not that different from Rhea. But then you look at Hopes, where in Wildfire Hilda's support post-timeskip with Claude has her initially see him as a free spirit who'd leave someone else in charge like he does at the end of Wind. Hilda is known to be good at reading people, hence why she doesn't join Edelgard, and she read Claude as the same type of person he was in Houses only for Claude to do the unexpected and crown himself King of the Federation. Considering that many players expected the same and the devs confirmed they wrote Claude and the Deer out of character, it's a sign that the Claude post-timeskip is a very different person than the Claude we knew. A Claude, according to his shadow, that is merely pretending to be the good guy, meaning that deep in his heart Claude knows he's the bad guy in Hopes.

WIP and Music Monday! 🎶

It's Tuesday but I do have a WIP! I was tagged by @inafieldofdaisies @cassietrn and @chazz-anova (last on my main) I won't tag anyone cause it is no longer Monday! But I wanna see any WIPs anyone wants to share so if you have a tag list? Add me? 👀

This is from the 4th chapter of Can't Finish What You Started. Which I apparently named perfectly cause I can't seem to fucking finish it... I don't have a soundtrack for this and maybe if I did I'd be doing a better job at completing it. 😂 But this is from the Mutually Assured Destruction playlist and I've had it on repeat a lot while I don't work on my fic. 😅

Maybe I'm defenceless, maybe it's a death wish

But tell me, tell me what can I do?

'Cause when you smile, you look so harmless

But girl you can be so heartless

And I'm caught up in the darkness with you

It's kinda love and it's kind of a war

This kinda love's never cut me before

Melody tucked her foot up onto the chair under her, trying to seem unbothered. Growing up with a strict religious mother and a rebellious streak a mile wide had made her a convincing liar in an interrogation but John had said nothing in what felt like an hour. Calm. Collected. In control. This was my idea. My idea and if it goes wrong no-one will ever let me live it down. She fixed his eyes with her own. If I live to never live it down.... Shut UP. His silence continues. Good fucking god, even knowing this is an interrogation tactic doesn't help. "So. How exactly do we do this? How far back do we go? Cause I did a lot of confession in my teens and I don't think I should need to go back over that." 10/10! Great job silence keeping! Great job keeping silent? I think that's a better sentence structure. What the fuck. Why is he STILL not talking?

For the record, I have no plans to write anything down for Birdie in the near future. She's just gonna live in my head and I'll do quizzes and character development and tag games and imagine her entire life but I don't feel like writing a cowboy story, 1890's America is too recent to just dismissively handwave details and I can't fathom having the energy to do all the research I'd need to do. But maybe one day!

In the meantime she does get a song from her playlist cause I do love her!

WIPs

ok so im cheating a little because i don't have many written wips but i do have unfinished projects sitting on my desk! so for those i'll be spending 10 minutes on it in place of writing 3 sentences

1. Claudia Henderson Canon Character Masterlist (written wip)

2. The Steve Henderson AU i might actually finish who knows anything could happen (written wip)

3. Season 3 Dustin Custom Funko Pop Keychain (physical wip)

4. Chrissy Cunningham Custom Funko Pop (physical wip)

5. Måneskin Battle Jacket (physical wip)

SNIPPET

its the Steve Henderson AU babeyyyyy

i feel the need to clarify that im outlining this bad boy right now and making event timelines and highlighting reoccurring themes and shit so the prose is Not Good. This ones an elaboration of a sticky note i wrote before bed one night, reformatted for readability because its literally just a block of text in the document gdskfjadaljfha

(listed right after “Season 2’s very long demodog-fighting tunnel-scampering day”)

STICKY NOTE: “Scene with Claudia and Dustin addressing Dustin lying in season 2, Mews, and their relationship. Probably before [the] hospital [scene]. Started about him disappearing all afternoon [and] segue[s] to Steve helping him and then to helping Steve because he has no one right now.”

Wanting to make sure to add this scene because Dustin's relationship with Claudia is just as if not more important right now than Steve's relationship. This is adding a reasonable and implied scene from canon and using it to establish and expand Dustin and Claudia's relationship by having this confrontation about him lying to her and all these things he's not telling her.

This establishes Claudia's need to know what's going on and how persistent she is with it, which will end up pushing Dustin away to Steve for more than just upside down stuff because of how casual Steve is about everything (like crushes and shit as we see in the train tracks scene in season 2).

Also Dustin's lie in the show is kinda shit anyway like he says he'll stay home and then runs off the whole afternoon??

They're also gonna have to address Mew’s death and Dustin's gonna give a half-truth (maybe Steve gives it since the show can't decide if Dustin is a good liar or not. Or its a cover story decided beforehand? We’ll figure out specifics later) about some rabid dog killing Mews and Dustin hiding it because he didn't know how to explain it without hurt his mother’s feelings and how he got Steve to help track the dog down so it wouldn’t hurt anybody else.

And from here Dustin talks about how cool Steve is and how he got hurt helping him and the party and how he wants to be there for him too (cause Steve is in the hospital for the concussion right now). Maybe Claudia picks up on the wholesome admiration and that's why she gives in or maybe she just agrees to take Dustin to visit him and seeing and meeting Steve makes her decide to take him in. probably a mix of both. Might have to be Dustin's pov if Steves not there but maybe it'll work out so where Steves there for part of it and the rest is implied afterwards at the hospital and days that follow (again we’ll figure it out later)

real quick tagging @loser-jpg @nymime and @elmoshipsbyler absolutely no pressure ofc🕺🪩💃

#imma be honest this whole things kinda just a way for me to share stuff about this au #since people have actually asked about it i feel bad i don't have anything for you guys other than a vague summary and occasional commentar #devon's steve henderson au #steve henderson au rambles #i have so many fucking sticky notes with mega important plot points stuck to my monitor #also babys first wip wednesday!!! woohoo!! #the tags are All Over The Place today #stranger things

DIRTY JOBS 2022 SENTENCE STARTERS.

taken from the 2022 revival of the 2005 discovery channel series. shenanigans and chaos ensue. feel free to change wording and pronouns and provide context as necessary. do not add to this list.    

You know what? I take it back. I do like to complain.

No. We come back tonight and kill them.

I’m kidding, of course. I almost never kill anyone.

You just wanna do it? Right now?

It’s all coming together... sort of. 

It’s all in a day’s work.

And that, my friend(s), does not suck. This, on the other hand...

You’re not nervous, are you, ___?

I’m not... Sure I’m nervous. Sure. Sure.

See, I’m doing something!

It’s like the sound of doom.

That really is ominous, man.

It’s not natural, is it?

Yes. This goes against the laws of God and man. 

I’d feel better without that iron bar up my ass, honestly.

Sounds simple, right? It’s not.

If it sounds difficult and complicated, it’s only because it is.

And by a lot easier, I mean, not easy at all.

Precision is the order of the day.

By no pressure... there’s a lot of pressure.

Can’t hear shit.

I’ve not been here, no.

I’m absolutely falling apart.

You know, I... I just... I wouldn’t say no.

She/he/they’ll tell you if she/he/they like you. Or if they don’t.

Why would it blow up?

Until you’re suddenly goin’ up like flashpaper.

And the odds of this exploding are very low?

But it could still happen?

Me and you, you and me. The two of us together. In the pit.

This is gonna be great, ___.

Boy, that just got weird, huh?

A lot of the time I say I got it, ___, but I don’t. 

I’m still not ready to talk about that, man.

I’ve hit my head lots of times over the years.

I didn’t expect that one there.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

That’s beyond redemption.

See, you’re having those negative thoughts again.

Time now to reenter the pit, a place that’s now starting to feel like home.

There’s a futility to this, I gotta tell you.

I can make it better, but I can’t make it good.

It really is just a toxic bouillabaisse of human disappointment. 

You get something done, I’ll talk to the turkey.

Now you know what I know. 

I’ll always make something up for you.

You look like a rotisserie chicken right now.

You should write travel brochures.

I don’t have a lot of dignity left.

Where do you go from... from this?

I’d probably work at Starbucks or something.

Like they’re fooling anybody.

I know what you’re doing, Bobby Flay. Liar.

Look at me, walking like I know where I’m going.

Oh, I’m scandalized.

I’ve never seen that. Impressive!

Always looking to try something new.

Bringing literally minutes of experience to the task at hand.

I don’t know if I would hire you, but you didn’t break anything, so we’re good.

This is where shit starts to get real for real.

My sneakers are Velcro.

Maybe there’s a reason for that.

We call it the hibbity-flibbity.

If you don’t mind, we’re gonna shoot the whole show here on my iPhone.

If you took a little of the shock and awe out of your voice, it’d sound more like a compliment.

Hakuna Matata smells like ass.

So that you look at me and don’t immediately associate me with a cold blooded, heartless killer.

And that’s a wrap for that guy.

[egg-emperor]

What do you think of the description in the Sonic Heroes manual of Eggman? And the supposedly mistranslated bit of him being a "feminist"?

I don't take every single bio into literal account as they aren't always 100 % accurate, especially when it's wildly different in English in a nonsensical way, it doesn't actually add up, it's not in the actual games, etc. Some have been wildly incorrect, like a bio of Adventure contradicting the story and his role.

So what I usually go by is whether that has ever been shown in the games in the slightest. For example, with the Advance 2 bio I like to show, it doesn't say anything we don't already know and actually see in the games, it's obvious that he doesn't have thoughts for anyone else as a self-centered egotist.

But this is one of the cases where I kind of can but before I get into it, I wanna remind that it's not a mistranslation from womanizer. The Japanese Heroes manual doesn't say he's a feminist and certainly not a womanizer. It's up there with the most annoying misconceptions, why would anyone want it to be true?

It's never been intended as fully finalized and published information for game canon Eggman and it shows, it's never alluded to in the games in the slightest, so even if the bio had said it like some other incorrect bios, though it didn't, I still wouldn't take their word over actual events in the games.

I'm so glad it hasn't, not only would it suck but it wouldn't make sense. He's not interested or around people often in the first place in the games. He's rarely around women and girls in them but when he is, he doesn't say or do anything that implies any interest even, let alone being a full blown womanizer.

My interpretation of the English bio was based on noticing that being a "feminist" is listed under "his charms [that] are often difficult to spot because of [his evil]", so I consider it as being self proclaimed to make himself and his empire look good as he does with his deceit but gives himself away with his evil. Like with being a gentleman too as he doesn't do it sincerely, only sarcastically and snarkily and he's really very rude lol

My guess has seemed to be true since, as past Heroes he just continued to not show sincere gentlemanly qualities and was actually sexist towards Blaze in Rush. It further showed it was self professed and it's not surprising, just the big liar lying as usual then showing the opposite. I will only ever go by things actually shown in the games and this is the only way to make sense of it based on that.

Then much later there was the propaganda video, which I feel we can take into account as much as the bios as it was made as advertising for Forces. He says the robotomy treatment is "all-inclusive", an example of advertising equality and inclusion. It's a propaganda video that's trying to make the bad look good so he's trying to make enslavement sound positive too but you could say it's something to consider lol

So overall I imagine he's not inclusive in a good caring way, he simply doesn't care because he's selfish and doesn't have thoughts for anyone else. But I can also see him saying he's all-inclusive because everyone will be forced to submit to the empire, and he sees everyone as equally beneath him, with nobody coming close to his level above them. So it's like he's for inclusivity and equality in an evil way XD

Mr and Mrs Liars Chapter 19

Chapter 18 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MC POV*  I write a few questions that I want to ask Jan. Gizmo is lying next to me, meanwhile, Jake has gone to the room to work on something they have asked him to look at. Today has been quite strange. Did I feel like kissing Jake? Or had it simply been the excitement of knowing everything I had heard?  Luckily my phone saves me from thinking about that.  Phil.  I take a breath before answering the message. Feeling guilty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil How are you? Hard day?  MC No, all good today I got a very good interview for tomorrow 😁 So I may not be able to talk to you 🙁  Phil Don't worry Princess, I'll be able to take it ;) Well, and any news from Aleena? She has told us all that she went on a date with Jake What did you two met on before in her speech?  MC Oh yeah I don't wanna talk about it It was horrible  Phil I imagine See your ex again And that on top of that he is going out with a friend of yours Has they told you something?  MC No I haven’t spoken to them  Phil That's good It means that he will not have left her house Or his ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I let out a small laugh. If only he knew it wasn't. For a moment, I hesitate to tell Phil the truth about me and Jake living at his house for a while until I finish my reporting. I start to write the words, but before I send it, I stop. Is it worth telling him? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MC Maybe The truth is that I don't care much  Phil Jealous?  MC Ha ha No 😜 Why would I be jealous when I have you? 🥰  Phil You're right I'm better ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I roll my eyes, shaking my head. A smile forms on my lips imagining him smiling at me. Is incredible.     "MC? Can we talk?” Jake walks into the room, resting his hand on the wall.     "Sure, wait a second."     "I'll be on the roof " he turns around, but he looks at me again "and bring the cell phone, please."      I nod and go back to my phone, to say goodbye. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MC Phil, I have to leave you They call me from work  Phil Alright We'll talk soon Princess :)  MC YES! 🥰 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting out of bed, careful not to wake Gizmo, I grab my sweatshirt and head for the stairs. I don't think in the time I've been here I've never been on the roof. I'm sure the views are incredible.  Opening the door, I see Jake's broad back in the distance, leaning against the wall, watching the city. It is an image that takes my breath away to see him like this. Illuminated by lights from buildings. I approach him slowly, standing next to him supporting me as well.     “Incredible views…” I comment, leaning into him.     "Before preparing to go to Duskwood, I used to come up here thinking about what to say to you when I saw you." he says, with a deep and melancholic voice. "Did you bring your cell phone?"   "Yeah, here it is." I pull it out of my sweatshirt and hand it to him. Jake turns around and puts in a small flash drive.I stare curiously, thinking about what he's doing now.     “What are you doing?"     “I'm adding a 'Help' application," he answers without looking up from my phone "If something happens, you just have to press it and they will come to help you."     “Do you see the situation as serious enough to have put me on that list of victims?" I ask, a little annoyed.     "If someone tries to frame you for something you haven't done, I'll do everything I can to protect you." He looks me straight in the eye, hard.     “And what about you?" I ask, placing myself in front of him "Your priority is to protect me but you think you don't need it?"     "It's not me they blami-"     "But you're helping me, Jake!" I raise my voice, worried. "You're helping me illegally!" If you add yourself to the list as well, maybe-"     “MC, don't worry about me" he hands me the phone so that I can take it "I don't need it."     "Jake!"     “Don’t worry."he smiles at me, taking my hand, placing my phone in the palm of my hand "I'm not the one who has an important event in four months."      I don't want to lose him again and because of me why does this have to be happening? Why did I bring you into this? The worst part is that I can't turn back now. He's already decided to risk everything for me. I clutch the phone to my chest, angry with him.     "Okay…" I purse my lips, trying not to say anything else. "I'm going to… continue with the questions for tomorrow then."     “Alright."     "Thank you..."      I turn around, heading back inside the building. *Jake POV*  I know that even if I have my freedom back, if I have to risk it to have MC protected, then I would risk everything. I can understand her anger, but it is my duty to keep her safe.  I stay on the roof a bit longer and decide to finally send Thomas a message about why he went along with Phil giving Aleena my phone number. I did not agree that the two had decided. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jake Thomas, we need to talk.  Thomas What's going on?  Jake I need to know why you and Phil gave Aleena my phone number without my permission.  Thomas Phil thought that it would be fine  Jake Why did he think of that? Thomas, you are my brother-in-law and the father of my future nephew. If you don't tell me now, I'll have to take very serious action.  Thomas Phew… He told me that it would be okay if you went out with her Something like, to keep you away from MC  Jake Is that what he told you?  Thomas Yes It's not that he doubt her, obviously But he doesn't trust you So he think that with Aleena you could forget about her  Jake Isn't that a somewhat childish thought?  Thomas Keep in mind Jake You have returned after three years because you were captured He imagines that what you want most now is to be with MC after you come back ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- True, I can't deny that. Although I don't do it because I'm the "bad guy", it's just that I can't help being close to her and not being able to do anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jake I don't want to get between the two. Do you understand?  Thomas Perfectly Just don't disappoint your sisters by breaking up a couple. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I try to calm down at the bad image he has of me. At no time have I forced MC, I think that until now everything we have felt has been very natural.  So Phil discreetly tries to make me forget about MC by throwing me into the arms of another woman. And then I'm the jealous one? It is clear, I will not try to make more moves close to MC.  Hopefully with the information we get tomorrow, we can finish what we started. *MC POV*  I had a hard time sleeping thinking that I was putting Jake in danger. I know he must be used to it, but couldn't he think about how worried I am about him? Why should I only be on that list?     "Jake, you stubborn..."  I'm going downstair for breakfast. This time there is no smell of pancakes or fresh coffee. Jake isn't even here. Maybe he doesn't want to see me because he knows I'm mad at him?  I prepare coffee and toast, having breakfast in the kitchen. Is pretty lonely without Jake around. Gizmo climbs on the table and I catch him lowering him again. But he does it again, causing me to leave my breakfast unfinished.     "Okay Gizmo, I'm going to explain it to you" I look at him and he looks at me raising his head, sniffing, "you shouldn't do that, it's not being a good cat" Gizmo gives me a little meow, almost trying to pity me. "You're just as adorable as your owner. Did you know that?" I surrender to him and leave him at the table. I rest my chin in the palm of my hand, stroking Gizmo lovingly.     "Keep the secret that I said that."     "Meow."     "Thank you, because it wouldn't be good for our friendship." And I laughed at Jake being the old man of the cats in the future and here I am talking to one. I hear the front door and Gizmo jumps from the table meowing desperately going to find his owner. I follow him and find Jake sweating and breathing fast.     "Have you been running?" I ask curiously, leaning against the wall.     "I needed to think," he answers, walking past me "I'm going to take a shower."     "Wait Jake," I stop him by taking his hand, but I take it away quickly. "About last night-"     "It's all good, I know you're worried about me," he smiles at me, taking distance between the two of us. "I'll tell Malcolm to get me on the list too."     "You promise?"     "I promise." I know he's telling me to stop worrying, but I can't stop doing it. "Let's get ready to go to prison."      I nod letting him go.  I should prepare too. *Jake POV* It is much better to distance ourselves. I'm sorry MC.   Once again, I preferred to leave the car and walk, worried that they could follow us.I avoid talking to MC the whole way. I don't dare tell her about Phil's topic and let her find out that he wants to separate us even though we are no longer together. That should perhaps cause a fight between them and to be honest, I prefer that they talk about it among themselves.  MC shows up at the entrance and I keep my eyes on the two policemen. I would be here if it weren't for Mathilde. And surely if they discover everything I've done, too. They escort us to the visiting room where, to my dismay, I see Richy talking to his father. I control myself so as not to go after him as soon as I see him. Luckily he has still noticed us. They take us to a table where a rather large man with a dragon tattoo on his arm was waiting for us.     "I'm sure he was Phil's partner in prison." I whispered jokingly, to annoy her a little.     “Jake, shut up.” She nudges me, keeping from laughing. But then she regains her composure. “Mister Parker? We have come to-“     "I know, I know what you came for," he replies hoarsely. His gray eyes flick up and down MC. He completely ignores me. "There are some special rooms for the two of us, miss, if you want information, you could do me a ''job''. I'm sure no one has fuc-" I bang on the table, wanting to scare him. She grabs my arm, glancing at me at the police.     "Jake, you'll get kicked out if you don't behave." she tells me, whispering.     "I'm not going to let that man talk to you like that."     "I know, I don't like him either," she glances at him quickly, concerned "but what choice do we have? If we get upset it's worse."      She sits down in the chair and I reluctantly do the same. Jan laughs at my reaction. The policemen leave us alone, returning to their surveillance post in the living room. MC places her hands on the table, with a serious face. She is completely focused.     "Since you know know what we're here to talk about, I guess it's okay for me to start asking you bluntly."     "Calm down babe, we still have time to get to know each other."     “We don't have that much time, Parker,” I say, crossing my arms tensely. I can't stand him teasing us while we wait for answers. "So pay attention to the lady and her questions if you want them to lower your sentence thanks to us."     Jan leans back in the chair, running his hand through his beard.     "I doubt that's possible," he answers calmer. "I killed somebody, boy, I didn't steal a bag of shit."     “Let's start at the beginning" MC fixes her hair behind her ears, being understandable "What can you tell me about Heidi Plummer?"     "One more robbery like any other." he answers without much importance.     "I've investigated all of your robberies," I rest my chin on my hands, glaring at him "none of them were murders or assaults."     “Except for the murder of a reporter's wife who was found dead" MC takes a photo of the marriage from her bag and slides it across the table for him to see "Coincidence or something else?"     Jan takes the photo in his handcuffs and looks at it, frowning.     "The whole house has a blood trail," I commented after having seen all the information on the case. I knew that MC wouldn't dare to look at those photos, so I did it on my own while preparing the program on the flash drive "in an ordinary robbery, this wouldn't have been done."    "You've done your homework." he looks up, as if he were looking at us from above "What do you want to know?"     "Did you have to steal something specific or was it just to shut her up?" MC asks, fury in her voice.     “Let's just say they gave us enough dough to do the job and be quiet.” Jan gives a laugh, but sarcastic. "But my partner was scared that you don't see."     "What happened to him?" I ask "Or where can we find him?"     “Ten feet underground.” He let his thumb down, slowly lowering. "Yes... It's what happens when you want to talk."     "And who hired you?" MC gets closer to him, as if preventing anyone from hearing us.     "I'm sorry sweetie, but there are eyes and ears everywhere here," Jan does the same, raising his hand to cover his mouth "if you know what I mean."     We look around, maybe MC can't notice it, but I can. Several looks from police officers land on us. I think it's no coincidence that they let us talk to Jan. Someone knows MC and this case too well for us to be free to talk to a prisoner who shouldn't be visited.     "Can't you tell us something?" MC tries to put on her negotiating voice. "Anything would be important to us. Even if it's a little clue who he was. "     "I suppose so, come closer." He makes a sign to both of us and we listen to him, but I keep an eye out in case he dares to do something. "As far as I know, the guy died in a car accident."      I look directly at MC, who freezes in place.     "MC-"     "You think I didn't recognize your last name, bitch?" Jan laughs out loud at MC's blank look, who is now shaking "How does it feel to know that daddy is a corrupt bastard?!"      MC gets up so fast that she throws her chair to the ground, starting to run.     “MC, wait!” I yelled trying to stop her.     "If you keep investigating, you're dead!" Do you understand?!" I look at Jan, holding myself back from punching him "Dead!"      I ignore him and go looking for her. I hope she's not too far away, she's not as fast as me. I ask the police and they tell me that she has already left. Shit… where could she go?     "I think I know where she might be…" I arrive at the cemetery and look for MC among the tombstones. She is squatting, in front of one. When I'm close, I can hear her ragged breathing.     "Your parents?" I ask, getting up the same lever like her.     "Yes." She wipes away her tears with her hand. All the make-up is ruined "we buried them together, that's what they wanted."      I stay silent, listening to her cry. I don't like it when she's like this.     “Don't believe Jan.” I finally say, and she looks at me. I take her hand from her intertwining my fingers with hers “He may be lying to you“     "What would he get by lying to me if he's already in jail?" She asks me with a broken voice "I know he hasn't lied to me, Jake, but I appreciate you trying to cheer me up“     "We always say that there is an explanation for everything." I rest my forehead on her. I said I'd stay away from her, but this is when she needs me. I can't leave her alone. “You yourself would have known something was up with your father if he lied to you.“     "I never saw anything unusual about him," she says, without pulling away. "It was my father who taught me everything I know, he himself would know how to hide it from me."     "Let's think a little. Do you think they could have forced him? "     "I-I don't know…I don't know anything anymore…"     "Do you need us to stay a little longer?"     "If you don't mind…"      I get more comfortable on the floor and MC sits down, resting her head on my shoulder. I'm quite worried about how this might affect her until her wedding day. Will she be able to handle this? We must find the truth behind all this. For her. *MC POV*  I close my eyes feeling the light breath of the wind on my face. I had never been to the cemetery with anyone other than my family before. I've always come alone to see my parents or with a family member. Coming with Jake feels different.  I don't feel alone.  The silence is not awkward.  Surely the visitors to the cemetery must be looking at us strangely. But I don't care.     <<If I find out that my father did something, I don't think I'll be able to have a happy wedding.>>  They call me on my phone and I take a long breath. I should turn it off at times when I don't plan to use it so I don't get disturbed. I don't recognize the phone number. I look at Jake and he notices the number, too.     "Put the speaker on, I'll keep quiet." he tells me, without taking his eyes off the phone.      I nod and hit the speaker icon, still shaking from the news.     "Hello?"     "Miss MC? I'm Manfred Schneider."      Jake and I looked at each other in surprise.  I never thought he would call me.  I think he has discovered us. Chapter 20
