Hi hello again, missed me? Guess not huh? Again before we start I AM SO SO SO SORRY I’M BEGGING DON'T KILL ME
When he arrived at merc doctor office toto grabbed him and was about to stop him from entering cuz Charles started panicking and scream when he saw toto with him, but to everyone's surprise Charles all but ripped the door and strangled -not hug strangled- Lewis and just started sobbing and telling him to take him away they will hurt him so Lewis gat his arms around Charles and carried him to his motor home, and just hugged him and started talking about stuff that doesn’t even make sense, after a while Charles was sitting on top of Lewis and started to say he hates alphas and everyone leaves him at one point, Pierre, Max, his father, Jules, Seb, even Dan and Lando, Lewis is just sitting there thinking how he would tell toto or Seb without them going on a killing spree and burn down those assholes, the door knocked and Lewis wanted to go and see who it was but Charles panicked and just clung onto him, when Lewis opened the door he was Lance as soon as Charles saw him he realised that oh Lewis isn’t his alpha and he already have a perfect omega who isn’t going to cause trouble to him so he just sprinted -he is a runner he is a track star- -sorry couldn’t help it, he bumped into Seb and Jenson, they were hella confused and as soon as Seb saw Charles face you know he would torture someone and he would tear their limp and put salt, lemon and vinegar on the scars, he was about to ask when Lewis came, he told them everything and Jenson took Charles and Lance cause don’t get him wrong he love his mate but not when he is plotting murder thank u very much, and he is to scared to say something he value his live okay? He knows when to try and stop Seb and when to let him do whatever he wants, THIS is one of those times, so he just took the poor omegas and dragged them with him with Charles not giving him a chance to breathe, he went to their motor home and just asked lance to make a nest cuz Charles smells fucking awful like no one should smell like this when he lied down with Charles he asked Lance to go and drag Max ass here, Lance is fucking MAD LIKE PISSED OFF MAD, he went to their motor home and he didn’t even care that he pulled max out of their nest and dragged him and told him he better be ready cuz if Jenson didn't kill him Lewis and Seb are going to it and no one will stop them, Max keep trying to pull his hand and go back to his mate and pup when they arrived to Jenson’s motor home Max almost threw up cuz the smell was suffocating, Jenson gestured to them to be quiet cuz he finally managed to get Charles to sleep, Jenson started scolding Max and told him where did he go wrong with Charles, and Max just wants to kill himself cuz he thought he was helping,
okay, I'm tired and I have a class tomorrow at 8 a.m. And it's 2 a.m. In here, you can imagine whatever you want as an ending or if you want to torture Charles even more why not? Anyway, I'm sorry for breaking your hearts, I was sad but didn't expect that I was this sad, should probably book a therapy appointment don't you think? Stay safe my lovelies and again I AM SO FUCKING SORRY.
Aahhh poor children! Lewis being there for Charles is so cute and he really needed some cuddles - and poor Lance!
Good job on them all telling Max he is fucking dumb and needed to pay for it and Max must feel very sorry, at least he should!!!
Seb really would be the scariest and Max is going to have his ass handed to him but in this case he needed it because he let Charles down when the needed it the most !!

can't make you love me:
Dan Jones/Reader
Tumblr media
Also on AO3 :)
Summary: You're falling for your boss, Daniel Jones, who just sees you as nothing but a release for his stress.
Notes: Dan fucks you hard but is a bad boyfriend. You're his assistant. (Just go with it.)
Warnings/Tags: Shameless Smut, Boss/Employee Relationship, Vaginal Sex, Desk Sex, Vibrators, Blowjob, Spanking, Rough Sex, a bit of edging and orgasm control, light bondage???, some angst???, you love Dan and he loves his report.
Chapter 1: Mr. Jones
 Your foot is tapping and you're biting your lip, watching as the right hand on the clock above your head is inches away from the exact time he said to come to his office and bring coffee. You hope you got it right, you frantically scribbled down, in your little lined notebook what he specifically asked for.
Black. Two sugars.
Your thighs clench together, they always do when you think of him, your boss, in his deep voice, ordering you around. You hate what he's fucking doing to you, you weren't always like this, horny as hell at work, you were professional, then he came around, and you developed a stupid little crush, your skirts started getting shorter, and he noticed, and punished you for it, you remember the first time your pussy walls seized around his dick, he bent you over his desk, and spanked you, grinned to himself at the evidence of his large red handprints, and squeezed your cheeks together, slid his cock between, no one had ever fucked you like that and you were certain no one would ever again.
Naturally, you assumed him fucking you to tears every day on his desk meant that your feelings were reciprocated, and it would go somewhere, dinner, the movies, anywhere away from the office, and the stacks of paperwork.
Tick tick
But you knew it, he knew it, it was an unspoken mist in the air, he could never flat out say it to your face.
His work, his report comes first, always. And you would be fine with being second, but you're not sure you're even third. It's been weeks since he's even acknowledged your existence.
  You lay the notebook on the seat beside you. No way he could see it, and you know he'd be curious too, probably mock you for writing all those dirty little thoughts, no, he wouldn't just mock you, you think, knowing your superior he would make you read it all aloud in front of him.
Tap tap.
One more second.
You shake off the nerves, not today, you think, you are better than this, and you're going to show him what he is missing.
Knock, knock.
"It's open."
You hear him say, voice all too familiar yet all too distant.
 You shut, lock, the door behind you, and stand up straight, placing the cup of coffee on his desk, firstly, you notice the dark-purplish circles under his eyes, caffeine, the only thing keeping him alive, it seems.
"Just as you requested, Mr. Jones."
Eager and patient, you take in every bit of him, hanging at what he will say next, like a thread. But his face is glued to the computer and his beautiful eyes refuse to meet yours.
A mumbled, "thanks" is all you get.
You pout, sit on the edge of the wooden desk and lift your pencil skirt up just a bit, just enough so Mr. Jones could see your lack of panties.
He's typing on the keyboard, and with all the politeness he can muster, he shoos you away, like you're a fucking, fly buzzing, vexing him.
"That's all, you can go now."
You huff.
"I-I-I please, I want you...so badly-" you're interrupted.
 "No, I am working."
 "Mr. Jones...please, I've been so wet for you since I woke up, and you took my vib-"
 He stops you again, focus still solely on the document.
"Yes, I have your vibrator, it's in the drawer here, and because you are such a horny slut, you violated HR rules, and just had to bring it to the workplace."
"You told me to."
"Yes, and I'll decide when you can use it, now go away"
You unbutton your shirt, slowly, taking your tits out of the bra cups, your tongue darts out to try and lick at your nipples, you know he likes that.
But he must not like it enough because your boss is still ignoring you.
"Dan...please, I know how stressed you are, please take it out on me..."
No response. Nothing. Silence.
 You move the stacks of paper aside, and you spread your legs in front of him, lifting the skirt higher, and your hand traces down, down to your clit. 
And that gets him, Dan snaps and finally, he stops you, his hand digs into your wrist. He's actually looking at you now, handsome as ever, and his cologne smells so goddamn good. 
You wince, he's a lot stronger than you and he's standing up now, having enough of your antics, and taking both your wrists behind your back, he manhandles you around the other side of his desk, bending you over, pushing your head flat in the papers.
His name plate falls to the floor with a loud thud, but he doesn't give a fuck right now, not when he's tearing at your useless skirt and eyeing your bare ass that is completely healed from last time. Dan needs to hit you now, he's aching for that release, just as much as you. 
"I told you to go away."
With no warning, a loud smack echoes through his office. And another, and another. He spanks you so hard, you jolt forward, nipples brushing against the cold wood.
"Mmmmore...please."
Dan nestles in your neck, breathes hot in your ear, and rubs at your labia, slicking up with every grumble he makes at you, his voice shaky from being so pent up.
"That's what you want?...so desperate for an ounce of my attention?"
He growls and with his full strength, spanks your ass again, you grab at the desk for dear life.
Tears start to form already in your eyes at the stinging, and Dan doesn't rub or soothe at the redness forming, instead, he grits his teeth, squeezes and pinches your ass cheeks, and with his other hand works his belt loose and pulls it out.
 He holds your wrists back together with his one hand, and wraps his belt, ties them so tightly together, making you unable to move, and he almost grins to himself when you try to wiggle out. 
Another smack.
"Stay still."
But you want to tease him, you wiggle again and try tilting your head so you can look at him.
He smacks the forming welts on your ass, you cry out. He won't tolerate that today.
"I said-" he pauses, "stay- fucking still."
He presses your legs together, wanting your pussy as tight as possible, he's quick, unzipping his fly and pulling out his hard cock, Dan wouldn't admit that he's been this hard since the second you walked in.
He gives his cock a few tight strokes, and rubs your juices around your clit, teasing you, he can't take his eyes off your cunt and how it seems impossible for him to fit, how you always struggle to fully take him. It's his favorite part, watching how you split open so wide around him, how it almost hurts you every time.
"Please..."
Your whisper is all he needs, and he pushes past your lips and watches as his cock pierces into you, and the little noise you make, he goes lightheaded, overwhelmed with the drive to fuck you silly on his desk. He groans, and adjusts his tie, lifting up his shirt and digs into your hips, thrusting with vigor.
"Oh...oh my god...that's so good, fuck"
You whine.
Dan's head tilts back, and he slams into you over and over, you hear his skin slap against you. Slap, slap. It's incredible, but he wants to go deeper. He squeezes your cheeks apart, and you sob as he pushes all the way into you, you feel his balls smack against your clit, stuffing you full, a smile starts to tick upon his face when he sees your tight little asshole almost bulge out with every thrust. He feels himself about to cum, and after a few more deep thrusts, he's growling and pulling out of you, your pussy gushes and contracts at the sudden lack of fullness.
"Come here, on your knees, suck it."
Grabbing you by the hair, Dan pulls you off the desk and sits you on your knees in front of him, he's stroking his cock in your face and pushing the head into your lips, moaning around him, you taste your own tangy juices and do what you're told, you suck.
Your boss quietly mumbles out, "yes, ah..goddamnit, such a good fucking slut." Wrapping your hair in his fingers, he's forcing your head down, and you gag. He does it again, and holds your skull, slides his cock in and out until, he's just too thick to handle and you gag again. 
He pulls you off, and lifts you by the waist, sitting you back at the edge of his desk, you hiss as your ass stings at the impact, Dan's kissing into your neck and spreading your legs apart.
"You want me to get the vibe? Put it on your little bud while I stretch you?"
"Fuck, Dan, please..."
Instantly, he's at his desk, pulling out your vibrator and laying it beside the ruffled papers. 
 He's on you again, breathing hard in your ear. "I'm going to make you scream, let everyone hear how much of slut my assistant is." 
"Dan..." 
He pushes you down, lifts your legs and your ass hangs at the edge. Dan grabs at your tits, and his cock dives into you again, thrusting perfectly, upwardly, aiming for his swollen head to nudge against your G-spot, it's so good, too good, he knows exactly how to make you cum in minutes.
The noise you make is inhuman, you look up at him and you're full-on crying off your makeup, you feel the warm, knot in your lower abdomen, you're getting so close, and he knows it.
 Dan reaches for the vibe, turns it on, and sets it on top of your clit.
The thrusts are brutal, he's hitting your cervix now, and doesn't slow down, not for a moment, all you can manage is a pathetic "please, please." He turns up the setting, and raises his foot up on the desk, giving him leverage to pound you even deeper. 
You hear him breathless, "Cum...now.." 
The vibe is at its highest setting, and he rolls his hips, balls smacking against your sore ass. 
"Let me feel it, cum...cum..for me." 
You close your eyes and before you can finally give in to the bliss of the most blinding orgasm, he turns off the vibe.
The build-up warmth, it all crashes down, you whine. 
"I change my mind, a little longer", he grunts, you hate him, want to kill him. 
"Please...please." You try begging for him, you swallow, "I'll be good, I won't" you choke out a sob, "I won't bother you again, Mr. Jones, please." 
He holds back a groan, "Is that..so?"
"Yes..yes..god, please just let me cum."
"You'll stop dressing like a slut? Stop having me focus on this...perfect.. tight...pussy...instead of my work...?" 
"Yes!..please!" 
"Fuck." 
He spreads open your cunt, and turns the vibrator back on, at it's most intense, rolls it in circles on your sensitive nub of nerves. The simulation, how stretched he's made you, his dick rubbed deep against your spot, it's too overwhelming, and once he mumbles in your neck to "cum on his cock" you convulse, legs shake and you scream, his name, over and over, squeezing him in. 
Dan looks at your face as it contorts in euphoria, he coos at you, trying his best not to spill all his seed in you as you cum so unbelievably hard around him. 
Your breathing comes back down, and his pace doesn't stop. You shake from the sensitivity of your clit thumping, as he keeps the vibe there working it through every second of your orgasm. 
He finally shuts it off, and tosses it to the side, he holds your knees up to his chest and fucks you, deeper and deeper until he feels his balls tighten and he's close, and you can tell, the ever-present stern look on his face softens. 
"Please, I want it...I want your cum, give it to me." You whisper.
He places his forehead on yours, large hands on both sides of your head and he closes his eyes. With a couple more thrusts, he's a goner, holding you in place so you take all of it, you feel the warm spurts inside you, so deep, you thank your luck you're on the pill.
Dan shudders, curses, and his lips press against yours, finally, he's never kissed you before. 
Your tongue meets his, and he's biting your bottom lip, cock still twitching, busting his entire load in you, and it's a big one, you already feel it seeping down your inner thighs. 
 "Fuck..." He doesn't look at you, just breathes into your mouth, until his orgasm subsides.
Finally, after a long moment of staying inside you until he's soft, he pulls out, a few drops of cum fall on your thighs. 
 He leaves you like that, Dan pulls up his pants, adjusts his tie, and fixes his hair. As you're still shaking, his cum dripping down your thighs, he goes back to his seat, takes a deep breath, and leaves you spread out, hands tied on his desk. His attention goes back to the computer. Your tears dry, and you roll your eyes, start to wiggle out of his belt. 
"No, you're going to stay like that until I'm done." 
"But..." You wiggle again, but Dan smacks at your hand.
You know the number of hours, how long he works, up to 3 days straight, sometimes longer. 
You huff, it's going to be a long while before your boss frees you. You roll to the side and he doesn't speak to you again, the only thing you hear is the keyboard typing. 
  ____________________________________________________
  Two weeks later, you sit beside his office again, watching the clock, waiting to see him. You're writing in your notebook, hearts, and scribbles alongside, Mr. Jones, written repeatedly. You know he neglects you, treats you as some kind of pocket pussy. But you still want more, more of him, more of anything he'll give you, the rare times he decides to give it. You glance at the clock again, your heart flutters, it's almost time.
Tick tock. 
You know it. You should hate him. But you know the truth. It's written on nearly every other page. 
I love him. 
I love him
I love him.

Follow the Beacon Taiyang—A Glass of Punch
[Link to Masterpost]
[Apparently I didn’t post the last few chapters on Tumblr? Use the masterpost to make sure you don’t miss anything]
[tw for sexual assault]
The dance was… kind of boring. Though, after the Halloween party, boring wasn't so bad.
Tai surveyed the ballroom. Dan had texted him that he'd see him there—twice—and it was a little surprising he hadn't tried to talk to him yet. Maybe he'd changed his mind?
...Or maybe he found someone else . There he was, over in the corner, slow dancing with another guy, and it was like a stone weight lifted off his shoulders. He hadn't expected to feel so… relieved. Guess I should just break up with him properly and be done with it.
Dan noticed him staring and smiled, tightening his arm around the small of his partner's back.
Prick. Tai smiled back with a small wave. ...Should he try to warn the guy…? Dan wasn't in the best place right now, and he didn't envy whoever—
He jumped back to his feet, something like an electric charge arcing through him and made a beeline toward the pair, pushing past other couples in a straight line across the dance floor. " What the hell are you doing?! "
Dan scoffed. " You broke up with me . You don't get a say in who I dance with."
"I do when you've treated him like shit all year!" Tai snapped, reaching for Dan's arm, but the asshole stepped back and dragged Qrow along with him. Qrow stumbled, nearly falling, and Dan wrenched him upright again.
"Let him go," Tai said, hands curling into fists. He could almost feel fire curling around them.
"He wants to be with me," Dan purred, dropping Qrow's hand to grab the back of his neck and kiss him full on the mouth.
Tai seized him by the necktie, dragging him off, and as soon as his nose came into view Tai's right fist connected with it. He screamed and clutched his face—Tai yanked him closer, shaking him. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
He wailed pathetically, still clutching his nose.
"XIAO LONG! DROP HIM!" Tai did, without thinking, and Dan staggered back into a table before sprawling onto the floor. Professor Mesánychta was angrier than he'd ever seen her. "You've always been a troublemaker, Xiao Long, but I thought you were better than this. Your father—"
"He forced Qrow to kiss him!"
The ballroom fell deathly silent—when had the music stopped?—as the professor, and everyone else, froze.
"Is this true?" she asked quietly. Dangerously.
"That's crazy!" Dan protested. "I don't know what he's—"
"I saw him!" a third year shouted, stepping out of the crowd and pointing down at Dan. "Freaking creep! "
Tiffany stood beside her, glaring with something resembling hate. "So did I." The crowd parted respectfully to let Summer and Qrow through. He was too quiet and still but at least he was letting Summer help.
"Both of you come with me to the headmaster's office," Mesánychta ordered, waiting for Dan to climb to his feet before taking off toward the exit.
***
"What happened?" Professor Ozpin asked calmly.
The adrenaline was wearing off, leaving him shaky and exhausted. Tai took a couple of steadying breaths and began. "Dan's been harassing Qrow all year. Calling him names, insulting him, calling him a girl and being really fu—really creepy about it. Complaining about him constantly, behind his back and to his face. ...Telling him he doesn't belong here…" he muttered. "When he wouldn't stop I told him we needed time off—we, uh, we were dating—but then tonight…" he glared at the floor. "We've spent an entire week watching Qrow like a hawk and the first time I take my eyes off him for a second my ex-boyfriend assaults him."
"Do you think Mister Effeullier's behavior has contributed to his illness?"
Tai's fingers dug into his arms, tears burning in his eyes. He'd been so blind, let it go for so long—he let this happen. "Well it can't have freaking helped!"
Ozpin nodded solemly. "I understand your concern, and your compassion is admirable. However the fact remains that you attacked your classmate."
"What was I supposed to do?!"
"Assist Mister Taupe. Remove him from the situation, and find a teacher. A Huntsman's first priority should be to de-escalate."
"But—Huntsmen fight people all the time."
"It is a Huntsman's duty to protect people. Not to deal out justice. If you had thrown the second punch we would not be having this conversation."
"I…" Dan fucking deserved it. But Tai had to admit it would have been just as easy to pull Qrow away without throwing a punch. "Okay. I understand."
"Then I think a week's suspension will suffice."
His heart sank. "N—no—please—"
"You're getting off easy, Xiao Long," Professor Mesánychta growled.
"No, it's not that—they're supposed to leave the castle tomorrow! Summer can't watch them on her own! What if—what if—"
Ozpin regarded him steadily. "Three months' detention."
Tai winced. No more weekend trips to Vale for a while, then. "Deal."
"Very well... I need to speak to Mister Effeullier," he said, getting up from the couch. "You have good instincts, Mister Xiao Long. I trust you will learn from this."
"Thank you, sir." He'd learn, all right. He should never have let it go so far. "...What's going to happen to Dan?"
Ozpin's expression darkened. "The behavior you've described could have cost Mister Taupe his life. And considering sexual assault as well… I do not have sole power over expulsion, but I can guarantee he will not remain at this Academy."
Bittersweet anger twisted in his stomach. "If—if you do have to transfer him don't send him to Atlas."
"Oh?"
"Our friend Zaff from Signal—he went there, to avoid him. He told us over the break."
Ozpin nodded. "Thank you for the insight. Now, go look after your team."

kdrama rec/review: bridal mask
KDRAMA AND CDRAMA MASTER LIST OF REVIEWS
Series: bridal mask / gaksital Episodes: 28 Genres: historical, action, drama, romance, tragedy, people screaming each others’ names in all capital letters 2006 anime style Spoilers in the Rec: im going to try to avoid them. im really, really going to try. but no guarantees If You Like, You’ll Like: zorro, robin hood, v for vendetta, chicago typewriter, vigilante shit, kate beaton comics on My Nemesis, mr sunshine, watching people become progressively unhinged, bad guys that become good guys, good guys that become bad guys, Parallel Narratives, cat and mouse games but they’re both cats, 2010 hair in a 1930s world, people in a room together internally thinking does he know that i know that he knows?
Rank: 9.5/10
Tumblr media
GAKSITALLLLLLLLLLLLLL PREMISE
set during the japanese occupation of korea in the 1930s, bridal mask centers on lee kangto, an absolute shit weasel. like. good god, what an asshole. anyways.
kangto is a korean police officer who is employed by the japanese--meaning he’s essentially a rat/turncoat to his own people and supporting their colonization and abuse of power. it’s especially fucked up because kangto’s older brother was tortured so much by japanese police officers that he’s essentially lost his mind. people hate kangto. straight up hate him. 
as a lieutenant in the imperial police, kangto’s been working to catch members of the korean resistance movement, but left and right he’s been thwarted by...
THE BRIDAL MASK (gaksital in korean)
a mysterious figure who wears a mask resembling a korean bride’s traditional makeup. bridal mask is essentially zorro, fucking up shit left and right and generally making kangto lose his shit. he makes it his goal to be the one to apprehend and arrest this mysterious figure. seems straightforward, but as kangto’s search for the bridal mask continues, and the people around him are drawn into the hunt, it’s clear that shit’s not what it seems.
MAIN CHARACTERS
lee kangto/sato hiroshi/lee young
Tumblr media
a korean man who works for the japanese as a police officer. 0% approval rating from the koreans and maybe a 5% approval rating from the japanese. kangto’s initial goals for joining the police force were to help his family get out of poverty, but his morality’s been cha-cha sliding progressively darker the longer he works for the police force. he becomes obsessed with catching the bridal mask and everyone would like him to really quit being an asshole but he will not.
catch phrase is bingo! takes over the nightclub stage when he’s feeling swaggy. would shoot the love interest. shoots pretty much anyone wearing a mask, really, then yells about it
Tumblr media
oh mok dan / mild spoiler: esther / spoiler: boon yi
a patriotic korean woman associated with the independence army, mok dan commits acts of subterfuge and gathers intel against the japanese forces. her day job is a performer at a circus, where she lives and hides out from japanese officials whenever shit goes awry. when lee kangto sees her getting saved by bridal mask, he assumes she’s the bridal mask’s lover and therefore intends to use mok dan as The Bait. mild spoilers it turns out she was once childhood friends with lee kangto’s best friend, kimura shunji 
wears many amazing suits. has no problem with spitting or shooting. fears no boxes. can take a punch or 5. basically my dream girl it’s fine
Tumblr media
kimura shunji
a japanese man and kangto’s best friend. coming from a family of influential, imperialist asshole samurai cops, shunji is the black sheep as he works as a music teacher for korean children, and is generally against the corruption and abuse of power when he sees it. basically the only one kangto’s never a straight up asshole to, including his family. the two practice what appears to be kendo together (i know jack shit about martial arts), and shunji’s a capable fighter. my default is to assume shunji is everyone’s favorite character, because he is my favorite character :’D, but if not i think he’s definitely the most compelling in the series.
wears bowties when he wants to dress to impress. rides bicycles both happily and tragically. has a thing for a childhood friend who saved his nanny. will give you a ride home after you’ve been tortured. save this man from his family. 
Tumblr media
ueno rie/ra ra/ spoiler: chae hong joo
a korean woman from a rich family that was murdered by the independence army who later became a gisaeng. as a gisaeng, she crosses paths with a very important japanese man who later adopts her into his family. because the japanese police keep fucking up the apprehension of bridal mask, her adoptive father calls her to korea from japan in order to kill the vigilante
stealth fave?! will step all over you and makes grown men cry. hyper competent and hardcore. bridal mask’s best dressed (try again with the bow ties next year, shunji). men are weak
Tumblr media
the bridal mask GAKSITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the mysterious figure either ruining or making everyone’s day. dramatic horse escapes. dramatic rescues. generally just drama. symbolically destroys japanese flags/insignia a lot. GAKSITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOME SUPPORT CHARACTERS SELECTED BY HOW MUCH THEY ARE MY FAVORITES 
Tumblr media
mok damsari
mok dan’s father and a general in the independence army. v good at being rescued dramatically. knows how to make an exit and also bombs. dispenses life wisdom when he’s got free time in between rounds of being torture
Tumblr media
lee kang san
kang to’s older brother, who joined the independence army and was tortured by the japanese police to the extent that he’s now lost his mind/severely mentally ill. dude just needs a hug or 20 and to never chase after a car ever, ever again because it makes me sad.
Tumblr media
katsuyama jun
ueno rie’s bodyguard, which is amusing to me because she can clearly kill anyone she needs to, so it’s kind of like he’s a butler as well. stoic af, says maybe 20 lines in the entire series, but look, he’s cool
i dont like any of the japanese police officers because they’re dicks so they don’t get a feature :| 
Drawbacks
the production value is something you gotta settle into LOL. there’s the cheesy martial arts sound effects, sometimes it skews a little narmy, but once you get used to it and once the show gets progressively darker (and how) you adjust and then don’t notice it
my main #1 beef: mok dan starts to disappear in the last fourth of the series. like she’s still there, but she’s doing bullshit like making soup and just sitting at a table with nothing to say. as a character that’s so important in the first half, it’s severely disappointing the route that her narrative takes toward the end/she does become something of a satellite character even though i still love her
there are main character deaths--more than one. some people would say the ending is bittersweet but to me i think it’s straight-up sad (which is fine with me/appropriate for the story, i just know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea)
there’s torture and for the most part it’s shown / it’s not off-camera
shit gets dark. the first handful of eps might lull one into thinking is something like zorro or robin hood, but there’s a lot of fuckery and death by the time you get to the end
Reasons to Watch
i mean, it’s fun! which is a messed up thing to say about a dark show, but there’s a lot of twists and the show’s an extended game of cat-and-mouse that’s a good time because the audience knows certain things but the main characters don’t. the drama of it all!
Now That’s What I Call Character Arcs. kang to + shunji’s respective character arcs are amazing and are referred to as the best part of the show for a reason. you’ll hate and love them both throughout the series and it’s great. shunji was my favorite
i love both the female leads a lot. they’re totally different in personality and the sides that they’re on, but they’re both compelling and they have their own troubles and goals to work through 
one of the main characters looks around the chaos happening and decides to just fucking leave all these people behind forever lmao i love it
acting is great! some people knock on mok dan’s actress but i thought she was perfectly fine for the character 
i’ll admit, i’m into characters who become progressively unhinged and the actor who plays the character who does is so so A+
there’s romance but gd does it get dark sometimes. this is a plus or a minus depending on who you are lol

do you have any web kdrama recs? I'll do a trade and recommend Banana Actually- the whole series is 20 minutes long (at most) very good, digestible, and has some ~good~ kiss scenes.
i’ll check it out!! i do have lots of webdrama recs hehe ^^ i recommended most of them yesterday but here is a larger list of only webdramas !! it’s kinda long, so i put a keep reading !!
like- a korean webdrama that you can find on youtube starring kim yu an, kim kangmin (maybe, maybe not), yoo jungwoo (love after school), and seo ji hye- about a group of students who create a film club to make youtube videos and the dumb shit they get into, plus there’s some romance, betrayal, and fuckboys.- so so so so cute honestly. the dynamic between the characters of the club is so cute and funny, plus the love triangle has me wheezing. also the asshole fuckboy gets what he deserves which is super satisfying. it hasn’t finished airing yet, but so far it’s really cute
failing in love- korean webdrama  you can find on youtube starring son sang yeon (triple fling), yang hye ji, and shin yoon seop- about a group of high schoolers who deal with falling in love, crushes, rejection, etc.- ok so the summary i gave was pretty vague but that’s because any more and i’d be exposing the whole plot. there is humor and fluff but also teenage angst, and the characters are all more complex than they first appear. i would highly recommend this show !!!
want more 19- a short webdrama you can find on youtube starring jung ha joon, sin gi hwan,  jeon yoo rim, nam yoon soo, and lee jungha- a story of 5 friends in high school. A mutual crush, a one-sided love, and a rough patch for sweethearts, all taking place right around the end their senior year- OH GOD i can’t breathe this drama is so cute. it had me squealing every single episode, and it’s very lighthearted with hardly any angst
triple fling (s1)- a short choose-your-own-ending  korean webdrama on youtube starring jung bomin, son sangyeon (failing in love), themanblk’s jeongyou, and themanblk’s eom sewoong- lee sehee accidentally becomes friends with the three most popular boys in school and ends up in a love square with them- alright im whipped for stuff like this so naturally i loved it. i also really liked how viewers could choose their own ending as for which boy she chose. there is a second season that i haven’t seen yet that focuses on another girl in ANOTHER love square (containing one of the guys from sehee’s love square) in which it shows which boy she actually did choose (and it was my favorite so . yay!)
when you love yourself (s1)- a short webdrama you can find on youtube starring jung mingyu (sweet revenge 2) and saet byeol .- about a girl who is heavier than her classmates who struggles with self-love and self-acceptance, and along the way finds love- god. i can’t even explain how much i loved this drama. the message is wonderful and there’s no moment where she glows up and loses weight and then gets the guy’s attention or anything: he simply loves her as who she is, no matter what weight she is, and is supportive. there’s also an episode that focuses on the queen bee girl who also struggles with weight and self-love and it’s just beautiful
my woofy poofy love / my dog-like dating- a short korean webdrama you can find on youtube starring chae ji an and kim do hoon (your imagination becomes reality)- a girl who has recently been cruelly dumped by her boyfriend brings a stray dog back to her home and wakes up to find that instead of a dog, there is a man! she happens to be looking for a roommate, and so this man (who can turn into a dog) becomes her new housemate- literally adorable. female lead is stunning and the relationship is so cute and fluffy and innocent, but the kiss is steamy as hell.
ok to be sensitive (s1)- a webdrama you can find on youtube starring kim da ye and kim youngdae (extraordinary you) and others im too lazy to put- focuses on feminist issues like sexism and sexual harassment in a college setting, which each episode focusing on one particular incident and the characters dealing with it- listen so like . this show had me emotional at some points bc of how amazing the message was. it dealt with sexual harassment, sexism, how females are expected to act, stalking, pressure to have sex… etc and basically every episode was like . you can stand up for yourself. you don’t have to “take it” just bc you’re a female, etc. also there was really cute romance uwu
ok to be sensitive (s2)- season 2 of otbs, also can be found on youtube, starring yoo hye in and lee shin young, as well as others but again im too lazy to list them all- same thing as season 1, but a different cast of main characters, and set in an office workplace. (original cast makes a cameo at the end)- the issues in season 2 were definitely a bit darker because it was set in a work place, where the main characters were worried about getting fired if they stood up for themselves, but the way things were handled was really admirable imo. also the male lead in this one is ABSOLUTELY adorable
go back diary- a 4 episode webdrama you can find on youtube starring kim ye ji and lee jong won (jaemin’s webdrama how to hate you)- about a boy who sees a girl at a karaoke bar (?) and instantly develops a crush on her. she then transfers to his school, and it tells the story of their love story after 10 years.- i’ll just say it right now. the whole drama was adorable except for the ending, which fucking sucked. literally was horrible. boycott episode 4 pls i was SO UPSET. otherwise, great webdrama
love after school (s1)- korean webdrama that can be found on youtube starring park so eun and yoo jungwoo (like)- about a couple who fell in love in high school and their story, told from 5 years later when they meet again- i love love love this bitch. LOVE. season 2 … we won’t speak of her lol. but season 1 is super cute and the ???? kiss at the end(ish)??? DEAD. literally anything with yoo jungwoo will destroy me but omg. it was fantastic
maybe, maybe not- a webdrama starring kim kangmin (like) and gong yoorim- a girl who can read minds and is an outside bc she knows what everyone is really thinking meets a guy that she can’t read the mind of- so fluffy. so cute. oh god. pls watch it’s so soft and cute
what to do with you- a korean webdrama - that is actually literally an ad for a facemask - starring lee hayoung and kim youngdae (extraordinary you)- saerom and geun are friends, but it feels like they’re something more. will they ever take the next step?- yeah this webdrama is super cute and that’s really all lol. also the bitchy girl in love after school is the best friend in this one oho
your imagination becomes reality- a webdrama that can be found on youtube starring oh se young, kim dohoon (my woofy poofy love), and jin ho eun- soram has a crush on a mysterious upperclassman, and wishes to see him again: she does, soon after. each time she makes a wish, it seems to magically come true. - yeah so like . it’s not a supernatural thing or anything, it’s just a cute college romance that’s basically every girl with a crush’s dream lol~! 
crushes reverse- webdrama on youtube starring kim shi eun (miss independant jieun s2) and jung hyojun- yoo somi has a huge crush on her older sister’s longtime boyfriend, and her best friend at school happens to be his younger brother- i find the beginning hard to watch bc of the second hand embarrassment i feel when i do watch it but . it has a super cute ending and the main girl reminds me of shin hye sun so much it’s wack 
how to hate you- webdrama starring nct’s jaemin, jim ji in (extraordinary you), lee jongwon (go back diary), and kim yoojin- oh miri meets her ideal type while working as a part-timer, but right before she’s about to confess, she realizes that he is her best friend’s mystery boyfriend. she asks han daekang, her new friend, to pretend to be her boyfriend for the time being. - the summary i gave was terrible but ITS RLY CUTE . also the main girl in this plays dan oh’s best friend / juda’s bully in extraordinary you and THE CHARACTERS ARE SO INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT DUDE . Legend. anyways its a bit cliche and we dont get any actual lip on lip action but its still cute lol
have a nice dessert! / drunk in good taste- drama special / webdrama starring kim hyanggi (sweet revenge 1; moment at 18) and kim mingyu (just between lovers ((as the crippled best friend’s anti fan turned romantic interest)))- chongnam loves desserts, and even has an instagram dedicated to taking photos of various deserts she eats. when her college life starts, she mistakes a classmate as an upperclassman, only to find out they’re the same age, and they become friends- listen . this shit was adorable. as when every single kim hyanggi drama, the kisses are cardboard flat and terrible but ! BUT ! the couple is super cute
a-teen (s1 & s2)- 2 season webdrama starring april’s naeun, shin yeeun (he is psychometric), shin seungho, kim donghee, kim soohyun, and ryu euihyun- about a group of friends who go through various troubles and grow closer as a group, as well as fall in love- ok so ... technically i haven’t even finished season 1 yet but !!! i know it’s a good show bc i did watch a lot of it !! plus in s1 episode 20 at 10:35 there’s a nomin cameo LOL SJKFSD there’s also a webdrama called “the guilty secret” i haven’t watched yet starring victon’s subin and others that is set at the same school as a-teen 1 and 2 and features the original cast in cameos !!

Life in Film: Daniel Scheinert.
The Death of Dick Long director Daniel Scheinert (of “the Daniels”) talks stressful comedy, the South and Richard Linklater as he answers our life-in-film questionnaire.
Daniel Scheinert made a splash on the indie-movie scene in 2016 with the surreal and crude Swiss Army Man, alongside directing partner Dan Kwan. For his second feature with A24—and first away from the Daniels—Scheinert returns to his Southern roots with The Death of Dick Long.
Set in small-town Alabama, the story follows bandmates Zeke and Earl doing everything they can to avoid having to explain how their friend Dick Long died the night before. Billy Chew wrote the script, and Scheinert broke out in a nervous sweat when he read it. “I love comedies that are stressful. I get bored in movie theaters a lot and this was not boring.”
Chew, one of Scheinert’s BFFs, also has professional history with the Daniels: he’s acted in their shorts, and co-directed the interactive documentary The Gleam with Scheinert. “He lived in Alabama for a long time and that’s where I’m from, so I got excited about making his movie while Dan Kwan wrote the first draft of our new movie.”
Tumblr media
Sunita Mani and Andre Hyland in ‘The Death of Dick Long’.
That’s right: the Daniels are far from over. It’s just that other-Dan is “not from Alabama so it’s a fun chance to explore the few things that are not in [the Daniels’] Venn diagram of interests. But Dan and I have been busy, we’re still trucking, we’ve got more movies to make.”
Premiering at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival—just as his “arty farty” debut did—The Death of Dick Long is, according to Letterboxd reviews, “pretty bonkers, surprisingly touching, melancholic, and—in certain aspects—relatable,” with “early Coen brothers” vibes in its portrayal of loveable idiots on the run. The best compliment of all for Scheinert? It is “the most Alabama film of all time.”
“With this one I just wanted people who were colorful and interesting, who had Southern roots, because one of my least favorite things is Hollywood actors faking Southern accents. The cast is like a mix of folks who travelled in and there’s a lot of folks around Birmingham, Alabama where I grew up. Sarah Baker, who plays Officer Dudley, is a super-talented pedigree actress who travelled in and did all her scenes with Janelle Cochrane, a local actress who did theater in Birmingham. She plays Sheriff Spenser and that’s just how she acts [in real life].”
Now that The Death of Dick Long is out in the world, one of Scheinert’s favorite things is to pull out his phone and record audience reactions. “I have ten recordings on my phone of different theaters in different parts of America reacting to this movie because it’s fun.” He argues that laughter isn’t the only fun reaction to get out of an audience: “It’s just as fun to get absolute silence if they’re leaning forward and hanging on every word. It’s really fun to get people whispering or gasping or uncomfortably moving around in their seats, and this movie gets all of it combined. It’s rewarding.”
Tumblr media
Sarah Baker in ‘The Death of Dick Long’.
Daniel, it’s time for your life-in-film interrogation. What was the film that made you want to become a filmmaker? Daniel Scheinert: Oh man. It was the show Jackass. I think there’s a whole generation of filmmakers who saw Jackass and were like “you just filmed your friends doing stuff and that’s content?!” My favorite movies look like they were fun to make, which I feel is true of all of Spike Jonze’s stuff too.
What’s a bizarre movie that you recommend to everyone? Not to everybody, but this year I’ve been telling people to see Greener Grass, which is a bat-shit crazy movie that a bunch of comedians shot over in Georgia that just is a crazy satire of nuclear families.
Since Hallowe’en is coming up, what’s your favorite scary movie? White Chicks. So scary. I think their white faces are the scariest monsters in movie history. I don’t watch it every Hallowe’en but that’s one of my favorite scary movies.
Which dark comedies and crime movies did you watch in preparation for The Death of Dick Long? I rewatched episodes of Breaking Bad because I love how information is revealed in that show. It’s fun and colorful and vivid. Billy and I rewatched American Movie, which is one of our all-time favorites about buddies. That egotistical guy who just wants to make his goddamn movie, wilfully ignorant of the trainwreck of his life, is so relatable. A while ago I made Billy watch The Celebration with me, which is… some people would call it a drama, but I think it’s one of the funniest movies ever. It’s a European film about a 60th birthday party going horribly, horribly wrong.
Tumblr media
‘The Death of Dick Long’ director Daniel Scheinert.
Which film do you think best represents people from the Southern states? I love that question and I was having a hard time coming up with one. Last year I watched Hale County This Morning, This Evening. It’s an arthouse documentary about rural, black, Southern life. I grew up near there and I had never seen the images from that movie [on screen]. Some of them were very familiar but some of them were not.
What’s your go-to comfort movie? The one you re-watch every year, you’re down to watch any time (and how many times do you think you’ve seen it)? It’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’ve probably seen it start-to-finish like twelve times. I watch pieces of it and listen to the soundtrack all the time. Or Wet Hot American Summer. Similar number—maybe twelve.
What film do you have fond memories of watching with your parents? That was a fun question. Probably, Airplane!. I watched Jackass 2 with my dad and he laughed so much, it was really fun. He’s a very serious man, until he’s not.
What’s a classic that you just couldn’t get into? Would you call High Fidelity a classic? The “guy moping about his ex-girlfriend” genre is just rough for me. Maybe I’ll try it again someday but High Fidelity, man, is tough.
[Daniel later sent us Billy Chew’s answer: Gone With the Wind. “He hates it. I've never seen it. But you look back and it’s a super-problematic celebration of the good ol’ days before the Civil War. Fuck that.”]
Do you have a classic that you’re embarrassed to say you haven’t watched? So many. I missed some Martin Scorsese movies. I’ve never seen Raging Bull. I know. I was talking about this the other day, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Back to the Future Part II from start-to-finish. I think I’ve seen pieces of it on TV. Dan Kwan is a super-fan. I don’t know if I’ve seen [the first Back to the Future] either. That’s embarrassing. I always wail on time-travel movies and I haven’t even watched these.
Which film was your entry point to foreign-language cinema? I don’t know if Miyazaki counts because they dubbed Princess Mononoke so it’s probably Amélie. Actually, as a kid I was obsessed with the black-and-white Godzilla movies, and I would watch all of them, subtitled. I’d invite my friends over and they would get bored while I would get so excited about that monster smashing those cities.
Tumblr media
Virginia Newcomb in ‘The Death of Dick Long’.
What movie scene makes you cry the hardest? It’s Freedom Writers. Anything with inner-city kids expressing themselves just strikes me out, and while that movie is not perfect, once the kids start reading their poems and their stories to the class, I just lost it. Later I found out that Richard LaGravenese, who made that movie, cast real kids and had them tell their real stories, so that’s probably why it hit me so hard. It wasn’t just a screenwriter.
What director do you envy the most? I always talk about this because my answer is Richard Linklater. As a kid, I wanted to find a filmmaker who I could look up to. I needed to find one who made multiple good movies because I want a whole career, so that shortened the list. But then also I needed filmmakers who are not assholes and that cut the list way down because you find out all your heroes are assholes. And then I needed to find people who were also good parents, you know? Because so many filmmakers are divorced or don’t see their families, and basically it just [came] down to Richard Linklater.
What’s a film that you wish you had made? Let me think. What’s that movie, I always forget the name, where he’s getting out of the limousine? It’s an arthouse film with, uh. [Daniel starts googling]. It’s French… Holy Motors! You ever seen Holy Motors? It’s a batshit crazy movie starring Denis Lavant. He’s just the best. It’s just him getting in and out of a limousine and wandering through a bunch of absurdist short films with each one zany in a different way.
What’s the best film of the decade, in your opinion? That’s a tough one. It’s probably Moonlight. I love Moonlight so much. For me, it opened up empathy I didn’t know I had. After the third act of that film, I felt I grew as a person. My other answer, I googled it, is not this decade but it came out in the last ten years, is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It’s just a perfect film. So I’m a super-fan of Moonlight and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
A24 is held in incredibly high regard—both in the industry and by the Letterboxd community—for the sheer quality of its output. As a filmmaker, what is the day-to-day experience of being in their camp like? I feel spoiled. Half of my favorite movies I go to see and I go “Oh man, that’s the logo in front of my movie!” I got to meet a handful of the other filmmakers, which I feel so fortunate to have done. They’re such a hands-off company in a really cool way. I just feel like I got to make my movie and they just trusted me. They’re not helicopter parents.
‘The Death of Dick Long’ is distributed by A24 and in US cinemas now.

Made for You- Ch.21
Tumblr media
Bamby’s Masterlist Made for You Masterlist
Summary: Dean was yours. You were his. At least that’s what it felt like when you both presented. But then John sent you away, at the ripe age of fifteen. ‘For your own safety,’ that’s what he said. You go about your life, believing what John did was for the best… but all that changes when a certain bloody and wounded Alpha is dropped on your dining room table.
Series Taglist is Closed
Warnings: Angst. Explicit language. Mentions of death, violence and assault. They are together now, I don’t think we need to witness anymore actual violence.
Bamby
As you came down the stairs your eyes met Dean’s. You saw the moment where his gaze flickered down to the mark on your neck. He did that a lot, looking at where he’d marked you. A look of pride and love filled his gaze for the briefest of moments before he looked up, eyes meeting yours.
While the love was still there, it was mixed with anxiety and concern. Today was the day, and he was clearly very worried for and about you.
“You don’t have to do this,” he told you for the umpteenth time.
Sighing, you walked up to where he stood by the dining table, waiting for you. “See this?” You gestured to a stain on the wood. A stain you’d scrubbed at for days and days before you’d given up on it. “That is your blood. Three and a half months ago, you were brought into my home, on the brink of death, and dropped onto my table. I saved your life. A week ago, you saved mine. There are going to be times like that, Dean. Times where our lives need saving. But there are also going to be times when we won’t need saving, we just need each other.”
“You have me,” he assured you. “You have nothing to prove.”
Lips lifting in the lightest of smiles, you looked up at him. You took in his green eyes, at the faint littering of freckles, down to his lips. Reaching up onto your toes, you pressed a kiss to those lips, feeling him chase you as you pulled away.
“Trust me. I can handle this,” you promised, looking into his green eyes once more.
A knock on the door had you both pause for a moment before Dean turned and moved to let the person in.
Sam stepped inside, looking from his brother to you before doing a double take as his eyes settled on Dean’s neck. “Dude…”
Dean chuckled lightly, lifting a hand to the scar on his neck. “Uh, yeah…”
“Omegas can mark their Alphas, too,” you noted defensively.
Eyes wide, Sam turned to you. “No, that’s not what I meant. I just… I mean… I didn’t realise, you know…” He gestured to your neck. “Didn’t think you two would have done that yet, let alone…” He nodded his head towards his brother’s mark. “But it’s good. I’m happy for you both.” A wide smile spread across his face.
Relaxing under his smile, you returned it with your own. “So, we ready?”
Sam’s face fell. “Uh… you sure about this?”
Might’ve forgot to mention your marks, but of course Dean told his brother about where you were headed. He no doubt shared his concerns.
“Yes,” you answered, leaving no room for arguments. “Now, get in the car or stay behind. I don’t need either of you there when I do it.”
“Bullshit.” Dean grabbed his jacket from the hook by the door. “I’m not letting that asshole hurt you again.”
You sighed, watching him, your heart breaking at the hurt in his eyes. The regret. He hated that he hadn’t been there for you that night. “He can’t hurt me, De,” you assured me. “Not anymore.”
Still, that did nothing to ease Dean’s mind. “Memories hurt, Y/N. If you’re gonna do this, I’m gonna be right there by your side.” Not waiting for a response, he turned on his heels and walked out the door, heading for his waiting Baby, knowing you and Sam weren’t too far behind.
Turning to you, Sam gave a smaller, sadder smile than the one before. “I really am happy for you guys. Just wish we didn’t have this to deal with.”
“I know, Sammy,” you sighed, heading for the door as well. “I know.”
~~
You sat in the police station’s interrogation room. Dean had been told to wait outside. It had taken all of two seconds for everyone to realise you two were now a mated couple. Just like that, no one stopped him from taking the seat by your side at the table in the intimidating room.
Officer Richards, an old and balding man who had a pot belly and mustard stains on his shirt, sat in front of you. It wasn’t the first time you’d met him, he frequented the local events you volunteered at. He usually wore a bright smile, always willing to give a helping hand. He was a kind man. That was evident by the concerned crinkles and sad glimmer in his eyes.
Sighing, he looked down at the closed file in front of him before his gaze lifted to meet yours. “We have his truck. We know what happened.”
Benefits of everyone having enhanced senses as Alphas, Betas, or even Omegas, is the fact they could smell exceptionally well. That meant the moment they had Trent’s truck they would have been able to smell everything. That was also a bad thing, in a way, because that meant they knew what had happened to you. Not exactly, but they knew enough.
“The smell of your heat… and him… we know.”
Nodding, your eyes fell to your lap as you fiddled with a loose string hanging from the hem of your khaki jacket.
Dean, sensing your anxieties, reached over to set his hand in your lap. Without hesitation, you grabbed his hand, fingers intertwining. Such a simple act, and yet you were already feeling so much better.
“We could also sense Dan Whyte and Hayden Phillips. Witnesses say they left during the time you were seen being guided away by Trent Smitt and when Mr Whyte and Mr Phillips were seen taking you to one of their cars before leaving. No one else was around. Evidence suggests-”
“Get to the questioning, officer,” you told him, voice low. The confidence you’d had before leaving the cabin had well and truly gone.
“Which one attacked Trent, Y/N.”
Slowly, you lifted your gaze from your lap until your eyes locked onto his. “He attacked me. Does the rest really matter?”
“Trent was murdered. It doesn’t matter what he did. He did not deserve that,” Officer Richards argued.
Dean’s grip on your hand tightened. In the corner of your eye, you could see his jaw tick. It was taking everything in him not to snap… luckily, you snapped instead.
“I didn’t deserve to be attacked. But I was. And I’m going to have to live with that. He’s lucky he’s dead. He doesn’t have to worry about the consequences of his actions. Whatever happened, and whoever did it, they had every right. An Omega in heat was being attacked. She- I could not defend myself. If I could this would be called self-defence.”
Officer Richards was doing a very good job at being patient with you. “But it’s not self-defence. Whoever attacked him wasn’t the victim.”
“No, you’re right, I was. And I was too far into my heat, too out of my mind in shock to know what was happening around me. All I know is Dan and Hayden found us, they pulled Trent out of the car. They did not hurt him. Dan held him back while Hayden helped me out, and then we left.”
“Are you trying to tell me Trent just let you go after he’d scented you-”
A growl rumbled from Dean.
You squeezed his hand, offering a gentle and reassuring smile. It took a moment but he calmed, just enough for you to turn back to the officer and continue. “What I’m trying to tell you is he was up against two Alphas, more if he tried to make a scene. He might have been stupid to try and force me, but he didn’t have a death wish. Sucks that didn’t work out in the end.”
~~
Sam held the door open for you and Dean as the three of you entered the bar. It was barely lunch, the place was dead, save for two people, one behind the bar, one sitting on a stool in front of it. Hayden and Dan.
Turning in his seat, Hayden offered you a smile as you, Dean and Sam headed their way. “How’d it go?”
“I need a drink,” Dean muttered as he sat in the spot next to Hayden.
Without missing a beat, Dan grabbed some glasses and a bottle of whiskey, pouring you a drink each. “So, do I have to worry about how I’m gonna look in orange?” he asked, cracking a light grin as he peaked at you from the corner of his eyes.
You took a seat on Dean’s other side, Sam sitting on the chair next to yours. Grabbing your drink, you downed it in one go before answering the question, “I gave them nothing, but that doesn’t mean you’re in the clear.”
The news of Trent’s death should have given you a sense of relief… instead it had offered more complications and heartbreak. With him dying due to his injuries, his death was classified as a murder. If it hadn’t been for the overwhelming smell of your heat and the fact the rain had washed a lot of everything else away, Dan would have been busted long before Trent had died. But the cops were having a hard time getting all the evidence they might need to make a strong case.
Well… at least they were putting up a front, pretending to look into it.
Sitting in that interrogation room, you’d felt something. Officer Richards might have been asking you all the required questions, he might have been pressing a little hard, but you could sense something was off.
In this town, you were loved. You gave and gave and gave, everyone knew you, everyone loved you, everyone would do whatever it took to protect you. They’d proved that before.
The last time you’d been cornered by an Alpha you hadn’t had your heat, he’d just been a dick. One hand on you, two seconds later, he had three broken bones. Within a week he’d been discharged from the hospital, charged with assault, and run out of town.
No one even blinked an eye at you defending yourself. Even though the guy’s intentions had been clear, he hadn’t actually attacked you. He hadn’t done anything that warranted your response- at least that’s what a judge would say. Still, no one in town questioned your motives or actions.
If evidence piled up against Dan and the cops had no choice but to charge him, you had no doubt he’d be let off easier than had he simply beaten Trent up in some stupid Alpha fight. Throw you, your heat and the relationships you had with all the men involved… if Dan did get locked up it wouldn’t be for more than a year.
“You got a backup plan for this place if things go bad?” you asked him as he poured you another drink.
He shrugged. “Angie’s a good worker, she could run the joint.”
“She’s also a mother,” you countered. “If you need someone to take care of the place, I’ll do it.”
Four set of eyes turned to you.
“Seriously?” Dan asked as the others stayed silent. His eyes flickered to your Alpha. “What about…?”
You and Dean shared a brief but knowing look. The two of you had talked about your future. While you didn’t have a step-by-step five-year plan, you had some kind of an idea of what you were doing next.
“Dean’s sticking around,” you explained.
He nodded, going on from where you’d finished, “Sammy and me don’t really have a home. I’m not taking Y/N away from this place or the people here. She’s happy. And I know she’s safe. So, we’re all gonna stay here.”
When you looked to Sam he smiled at you. You might not have talked to him, but you knew Dean would have shared a few words with his brother. You also knew Sam would have no problem sticking around. You were all family, after all, and the cabin was your home. Now it was theirs, too.
“We’re gonna keep working,” you noted, turning back to Hayden and Dan- knowing Hayden still had no idea what your job was. “But when we’re not working, we’ll be around town. And if things go bad for you,” your eyes settled on Dan, “I have no problem helping out.” You smiled up at him.
He hesitated a moment, looking from you to the two Alphas on either side of you, but eventually he nodded. “Okay, yeah.” His lips turned into a grateful and relaxed smile. “Thanks.”
“Least we can do.” Dean gave Hayden and Dan a knowing look. “I owe you guys big time.”
No one needed to explain the meaning behind his words. No one dared tell him he owed them nothing. The five of you simply fell silent once more, Dan pouring more drinks. Soon enough the conversation was changed, a lighter mood settling in the room. You all laughed, and smiled, and had a nice time. A bubbling feeling rested in your chest as you looked to your friends before your eyes locked onto your Alpha.
You knew, in that moment, things were going to work out.

the missing part   
"I can hear your thoughts," Keith nearly whispered.Lance went pale, but that wasn't what Keith was focused on.  Because he could feel the horror creeping up inside himself as Lance heard his declaration.  Because he could feel his own heart skip a beat in time with Lance's.  Because he could feel the rejection bubbling up inside him as Lance frantically worked out what all this meant."Wh—what are you talking about?" Lance said, stumbling over his words even while his mind screamed clear as day please say you're lying just say you're fucking with me don't play these kinds of games with me—

He’s a teenage boy, in way over his head. He’s a college kid, delivering pizzas on a bike that his mom bought for him when he was twelve. He’s a media major, a movie buff, and a total moron who’s madly in love with the snooty heartthrob at the Deli, who always gives him an extra slice of cheese.

Something about the casual way Lance spoke to him, with easy grins and direct words that made Keith feel comfortable, but at the same time put him on edge. Like he wasn’t supposed to be feeling this ok around someone, not him. Keith, who barely had friends until college, shouldn’t have someone who could coax him into such a sense of security that he found himself agreeing to do things he’d never thought he’d do.

'Lance wasn’t sure if he’d imagined the brief tremble at the corner of Keith’s lips or not, that slight stutter that promised a smile.

“Yeah,” Lance agreed, looking down at the extended palm, noting the little Saturn tattoo on the inside of Keith’s wrist where the sleeve hiked. He took the hand, “better not overprice those too, you asshole.”'

Unknown     (Series not completed 9 works, 123,151 words)
It’s been a few months since Keith’s dad remarried, leaving Keith at a new school with no friends, no mom, and no hope. The only thing that keeps him from going completely insane is Lance Fuentes, the charming, funny, and surprisingly intimidating boy that Keith’s been admiring (read: pining after) from afar since day one.After a bad day leaves Lance miserable and embarrassed, Keith takes a chance and uses the Garrison’s school messenger system to comfort him as an anonymous admirer named Unknown. What was supposed to be a one-sided message of hope turns into the strangest friendship in the school, and soon Keith finds himself closer to Lance then he’d ever dreamed he would be. But keeping a secret this big is hard--especially when a few chance encounters lead him to become friends with Lance in real life as well.Unable to explain to Lance that he’s Unknown, and equally unable to fade away as he’d first intended, Keith soon finds himself trapped in a web of secrets and lies. As he becomes desperate to keep his identity from being discovered, Lance becomes just as desperate to find out who Unknown really is. The question is, just how far are they willing to go?

A 10 Things I Hate About You AU written for the Andreil Week prompt: fake dating
Katelyn squared her shoulders as she looked up at her new high school. It wasn't the first new high school she'd attended, hell it wasn't even the fifth. Her father's military career led her family to moving so often that she was used to being the perpetual new kid. Not again, though. Her dad had promised this time. Even if he got transferred he would let her finish out the year at the same school. She had one chance to make friends in order to have the best senior year possible.
She found the administrative office easily and she was pleased to find that another student had been assigned to show her around. This was common practice, and it was generally an outgoing overachiever who volunteered to help her. Based on the biceps of the girl waiting to show her around, Katelyn guessed that she was involved in sports.
"Hi, I'm Dan Wilds," said her guide.
Katelyn introduced herself, and Dan led her out of the office making small talk. Dan walked her to her first period class, gave her directions on how to find her other morning classes, and promised to pick her up right before lunch.
Her morning passed easily: she was stared at a normal amount due to her new kid status and she even chatted with a few friendly people. In chemistry, they did a mini first day experiment. They were assigned partners alphabetically and she was paired with a short blond guy.
"Do you know why chemists enjoy working with ammonia?" she asked her lab partner, unable to stop from embarrassing herself in front of the cute boy.
He frowned at her, confused. "No," he said suspiciously.
"Because it's pretty basic stuff."
He stared as if he were worried for her mental state, before he cracked a smile. She had a feeling that it was a rare sight. "What do you do with a sick chemist?" he asked in return.
She smiled, wanting to dance in happiness that he was countering her nerdy joke with one of his own. "What?"
"If you can't helium, and you can't curium, then you might as well barium."
Her laughter caught the attention of the teacher, who instructed them to get back to work.
"That was your fault," her partner grumbled, without irritation.
"Not just mine," she said. "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate." He gifted her with another sunshine smile.
By lunchtime, Katelyn's stomach was growling and she was happy to see Dan. Dan led her over to a lunch table that already had several occupants.
"This is my boyfriend, Matt," introduced Dan. "And our friends, Allison and Kevin. Guys, this is Katelyn."
After Katelyn fielded the usual questions about where she was from and whether she was liking South Carolina, Allison leaned forward expectantly. "So, seen any cute guys yet? Or girls? Anyone you're crushing on?"
"Well," said Katelyn, feeling her cheeks heat. "There was a guy in my chemistry class. Short, blond, named Aaron?"
"Aaron Minyard?" asked Allison. "Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no."
"Why not?"
"Hey Nicky!" Matt called out to a boy sitting at a nearby table. "Come join us for a sec."
The boy looked up and nodded, making his way over to their table and sitting across from Katelyn.
"The new girl's got a thing for your cousin," explained Matt.
"The saner one," added Allison.
"Oh, honey, no," said Nicky sadly. "You'll never get anywhere with that."
"Why not?"
"My cousin is a twin," said Nicky. "And a couple years ago his mother died."
"Oh no, I'm so sorry," said Katelyn with genuine sympathy.
Nicky waved her comment away. "Not the point of the story. Anyway, he and his brother promised to stick together after that. So now Aaron's not allowed to date unless Andrew does too."
"Guys," said Katelyn, looking around the table. "This really doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem."
Matt gestured over Katelyn's left shoulder. She turned, and saw a boy who must be Aaron's twin. He was a little more muscular than Aaron, and dressed in all black. A student passed close by the table where Andrew was sitting with a white-haired girl, and leaned over to say something. Andrew responded by brandishing a knife.
Katelyn gasped. "That must be against the rules," she said. "And the law."
"Andrew hates everyone," said Nicky. "He's never going to date. We thought that he and Renee-" he indicated the girl sitting with Andrew "-would start going out, but they both came out as gay last June. Now there's no hope. Aaron's going to die alone."
"No, this can still be fixed," said Katelyn, her stubborn nature showing itself. "I'm sure that Andrew's a good guy deep down." She glanced back and found Andrew's dead-eyed stare focused on her. "Er, very deep down."
"The only way that someone will date Andrew Minyard is if you paid them," said Allison flippantly.
There was a brief pause. "That's not a… bad idea," said Nicky.
"You'd have to find someone who isn't scared of him," said Dan.
"Everyone's scared of him," said Kevin, speaking up for the first time. "And for good reason. You remember how he reacted when I asked him to join the exy team."
"Well, you were slightly… over persistent," said Matt diplomatically.
"Anyway, it's not like I have money to bribe anyone," said Katelyn.
"Don't worry about that," said Allison. "I would pay just for the fun of it."
"That still doesn't solve the problem of who would agree to go out with him," said Matt.
Katelyn had gotten distracted, watching as Andrew said something to a boy passing his lunch table. The boy turned to regard Andrew and Andrew again slid a knife out from somewhere. The boy just rolled his eyes, gave Andrew a salute, and walked away nonchalantly.
"What about him?" she asked.
"Who?" asked Matt craning his head to see. His jaw dropped in incredulity. "Neil Josten?"
"He started going here at the end of last year," explained Dan. "We tried to make friends with him, but he blew us off."
"I heard that he killed his own father," said Kevin.
"I heard that he's in the mafia," added Nicky.
"He's at least half-cryptid," said Allison.
Katelyn shrugged. "But he didn't seem afraid of Andrew," she said.
"He was apparently raised by stabby psychopaths," said Dan. "Maybe Andrew just reminds him of home."
"Neil is very pretty," said Matt hesitantly.
"True," agreed Nicky. "If Andrew hasn't noticed then he was lying about being into dudes."
"And his clothes definitely indicate that he needs the money," mused Allison.
"And he and Andrew are perfect for each other, in that they're both terrifying assholes," said Dan.
"Great!" said Katelyn happily. "It's settled. We’ll bribe Neil to date Andrew so that I can date Aaron." She was certain that everything would work out in her favour: she'd made up her mind that she was going to have a perfect senior year and she was very good at getting what she wanted.
After classes ended for the day, Allison tracked Katelyn down and led her out to the school's football field. The field hockey team was practising and several students, including Neil Josten, were running around the surrounding track. Allison kept her attention on her phone as they waited, but Katelyn watched Neil run. He was faster than he should be, based on his height.
They approached him when he was finished, stretching out his leg against a bench and gulping down sports drink.
"What do you want?" he asked, wiping the sweat off his brow with the sleeve of his t-shirt.
"I have a business proposition for you," said Allison.
Neil snorted. "Pass."
"I will pay you $100 to take Andrew Minyard out on a date," continued Allison, ignoring Neil's input.
He straightened and eyed them in consideration. "Why?"
"I want to go out with Aaron," said Katelyn, making herself as earnest as possible. Maybe if he sympathized with her, he'd help her out. "And he's not allowed to date until Andrew does."
"That doesn't really take what Andrew wants into account," said Neil.
"Oh, don't put yourself down, Josten," said Allison. "You're a catch. He should be grateful to get a date with a specimen like yourself."
Neil gave her a flat look. "And what's in it for me?"
"One hundred dollars," said Allison slowly. She turned to Katelyn. "I already said that, right? I'm not imagining things, am I?"
"I have my own money," replied Neil.
Allison gave him a very judgmental once-over. "Do you?" she asked, sounding generally curious. "Then why do you look like… that?" She waved her hand, indicating Neil's entire body.
"Besides, I know you're aware that I'm not interested in dating," continued Neil. "I told you during your interrogation last year."
"That was a friendly getting-to-know-you chat, you giant drama queen," huffed Allison. "And it's just a date; we're not even asking you to get to first base. Just take him out somewhere nice, on me."
"I don't need your money," Neil reminded her. "But," he said, raising his voice to cut off Allison's reply, "you probably can get me something that I do want."
"And what's that?"
"I want on the exy team," he announced. "I missed the tryouts last spring."
"You can't be on the team just because you want to be," said Allison, rolling her eyes.
"You're friends with Kevin Day. Get him to agree to give me a fair chance at a tryout and I'll ask Andrew Minyard out on a date," bargained Neil.
Allison's eyes narrowed. "It's a deal," she said, and stuck out her hand to shake his.
"Why are you doing this?" Katelyn asked Allison as they took their leave. "You seem very invested in this."
Allison blushed slightly and averted her eyes. "Andrew spends all his time with Renee Walker. I was hoping that if he had someone else then she would be looking for some companionship."
"Ah," said Katelyn, sagely. "So you're also just a giant loser with a crush."
"Shut up," said Allison. "I'm not a loser, I'm a queen."
The rooftop access door slammed open and Andrew automatically lit a second cigarette, passing it over as Neil took a seat beside him.
"I received some interesting information," said Neil, clearly trying to get Andrew to ask him for his news. Andrew remained quiet, just to be contrary. Neil huffed, but continued anyway, "The new girl has a crush on your brother."
"It doesn't matter," said Andrew. "It doesn't affect me." Aaron wasn't going to break his promise and start dating, not until Andrew decided that he could.
"And that's where you're wrong," said Neil. "Somehow she's enlisted the help of Allison Reynolds and the two of them are bribing me to take you out on a date."
"They're bribing you?" repeated Andrew.
"Yup," said Neil. "Allison's going to get Kevin to agree to let me tryout for the exy team."
Andrew shook his head with mock severity. "I should have known better than to trust a junkie like you. All it takes is a single offer of your drug of choice and you're selling me out."
Neil knocked his shoulder into Andrew's. They'd met during Neil's first week at school, when he'd been searching for somewhere to sneak a cigarette. Since then they'd been meeting here regularly, slowly becoming almost-friends. Andrew was surprised by how much he liked the casual contact.
"Wanna go on a date with me?" asked Neil.
"I hate you," said Andrew.
"We just started sonnets in English," said Neil. "You could write me one: 'How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.'"
"We don't have enough time for me to make a detailed list."
"Maybe just a Cliff's Notes version, then? Ten things you hate about me?"
The ten things Andrew hated most about Neil were also the things that Andrew found most attractive about him, so he didn't respond.
"The deal I made is that I have to ask you on a date, not that you have to accept," Neil said. "So technically I've already done what I said I would. After all, I can't take you out if you say no."
Andrew smoked and considered his options. Agreeing to date Neil, even as a ruse, appealed to him. Maybe he could take advantage of the situation and somehow convince Neil to date him for real. However, if Andrew suddenly started dating then Aaron would follow. Was this something for which he was willing to loosen his hold on Aaron?
"Where would you take me on the date?"
Neil blinked once, obviously not expecting the question. "I was thinking of doing something like paintball," he said casually.
"Why paintball?"
"What, you don't want to attack people without them threatening to call the cops?" said Neil. "I know you prefer knives to guns, but I'll teach you how to handle a gun: I'm a crack shot."
The fact that Neil had obviously put thought into where he would take Andrew, specifically, on a date made up Andrew's mind. "What will you give me if I say yes?" he asked.
"What do you want?" Neil volleyed back.
What he wanted was for Neil to not ask stupid questions. "A bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue," he said instead.
"Deal," said Neil, his eyes shining. "I'll see if I can get Allison to pay for it."
Andrew was aware that this was a stupid plan that was going to end in pain, probably his own. He was giving up his hold on Aaron for what would surely turn out to be a pipe dream. He should know better by now, but Neil hadn't let him down yet. Perhaps, if he played his cards right, this was something that he could have.

Chapter 1
(So... I tried to write a fanfic with the story of Apso, I hope you’ll enjoy it :D I want to thank my bro @grayarothane, without him it would be impossible for me to translate my fic.)
Warning: I absolutely don’t respect the canon and the timeline of the Mass Effect universe.
It was Monday on the morning, and he had some time before going away from home. He was still trying to get used to the new flat. He had to move to the Citadel with his parents.
It was so different from Palaven, which was the planet where he grew up. It was difficult for him to get used to the changes, but he had to in order to integrate the Academy of the Alliance, the human army. He considered himself lucky to have been accepted even if he was a turian-human hybrid. Moreover he was the son of two war heroes.
On one side there was his Turian father Garrus Vakarian, senior officer of the turian army and who was likely to become the next primarch of Palaven, the highest rank of the turian hierarchy, and on the other side, there was his human father, Daniel Shepard, the most known human of the entire galaxy.
Apso stopped his deep thoughts, wished a good day to his dads and went away. Dan looked a bit anxious when he saw his son go, but Apso didn't notice it. On his way to the Academy Apso decided to pass through a longer way, but which gave a panoramic view over the Presidium. Even if nothing at the Citadel could remind him of Palaven, he liked the view over the Presidium, which had an atmosphere like on Earth, the planet where he was born.
Every year he visited Earth, but he didn't feel any strong connection to it. Yet the view helped him to forget his stress. It would be his first day in the Academy and he absolutely didn't know what to expect. The only thing he knew was that the headmaster, the only one to know about the identity of his parents would say nothing about this. Apso knew pertinently because of his mandibles, skin and hands it would be impossible to hide his turian side, but he wanted to avoid being seen as “the son of Shepard and Garrus”. He was 20 and couldn't allow himself to carry this burden on his shoulders.
He arrived at the Academy. In the hall everyone, without exception, stared strangely at him. He tried to reassure himself by thinking that it was due to the way he walked. The uniform designed for humans made him uncomfortable and it was difficult to walk normally. He went into the classroom and almost everyone gave him a dark look. There was a young man who did not. He was obviously looking at Apso, but contrary to the others, it was with a kindly curiosity. The teacher, a banal-looking man, asked Apso to introduce himself.
“Hi, my name is Apso. Nice to meet you.”
He hated having to talk in front of many people. Especially when the audience was staying distant like this. He sat next to the lonely guy, because he prefered shy people to hypocritical ones. The boy, whose name was yet unknown, tried to discreetly look at him.
The day started with a lesson about earthling military history. Apso liked history, but the lesson was about the First Contact War and made him feel out of place. If he had to be honest, he considered himself more turian than human. He was born on Earth but grew up in Palaven and during his childhood others regarded him as a normal turian. The Turian moral code allowed him to have a more or less “normal” childhood. He limitlessely respected turians and was proud to be one of them. But he also felt loyal to the Humans and the Alliance. He didn't have much of a choice.
At noon his neighbor timidly turned toward him: “Hum...Apso, right? This is the lunch break right now, do you want to eat with me?” Apso accepted with pleasure.
“By the way, what's your name? Apso asked on the way to the self-service restaurant.
-Oh, that's right that I didn't have the time to say you my name! I'm Scott Ryder. And I intend to go to the biotic section of the Alliance!
-The one supervised by Kaidan Alenko?
-Exactly! He's my role model! After all he's the second Human Spectre, right after Shepard. A lot of people people forget about his important role during the war against the Reapers, but he was on the Normandy with Shepard! But it's better if I don't start to talk about this, I could talk about him for hours. Scott said, shifty-eyed and blushing.
-Oh no I understand, I thought that he was pretty famous among humans, but it's true that he tends to be discreet according to what I understood.”
Apso was amused to see that Kaidan could have fans. Of course he deserved it, but Scott was right by saying that Kaidan was often forgotten due to Shepard's success. His father's reputation tended to outshine anyone else…
They arrived at the self-service restaurant. Everyone, except Scott, still stared at him with animosity. When Apso served himself, everyone was surprised to see that he had no problem to eat meals for humans. He and Scott sat at the back. The table was empty, and when people saw them they did their best to avoid them. Apso thought that was because of him and felt sad for Scott.
“Apso, don't you have problems to eat levo-amino food? Scott asked
-No, in fact I can eat levo-amino and dextro-amino meals. Whenever I eat meals that were cooked by the others I don't have to worry about anything, which is convenient.
-But you might have preferences, don't you?Scott asked with curiosity
-I like spicy meals, and the turian chocolate is the best.
-I see, I'm unable to eat anything spicy.
-I've heard that many humans are like this.
-That depends, but yeah. Haven't you met a lot of humans before?
-Not really, just my father and his friends. But he doesn't have a lot of human friends.”
Apso wanted to change subjects. It would be difficult for him to talk about his father's friends without saying that they all were war heroes who were trigger-happy, or had biotic powers fot some.
“Unrelated but the teacher didn't give me our timetable. Do you know what we have next?
-Shooting session, but the instructor is a pain in the ass. He's never satisfied of what we do. It's a good thing we can go home after that.”
Apso smiled a little as he thought about shooting. The lunch break was over. As soon as they left the table, four persons replaced them. Apso asked himself if everyone would continue to treat them like that.
There were around twenty students at the shooting session. The instructor was an old man. He wore an uniform and a kepi was hiding his eyes, yet we could feel his severity. He had a scar on the left cheek, which strengthened the feeling.
“ So rookies, let me tell you.” His voice was loud but he didn't need to scream. “Get yourselves  a weapon from the gunsmith, then you shoot on the target. You'll pass in turns and when you're finished you can go home. Who wants to start?”
The students looked hesitant, they all knew about the instructor's reputation. Apso volunteered. The instructor stayed silent.
Apso went to the armorer and asked without hesitation:
“Do you have an M-3 Predator?
-Of course! Sounds like you're an expert!
-Just a bit.”
He preferred to stay humble, but he knew that as the son of soldiers he had good knowledge.
He got closer to the target. The students behind him mumbled. They might've be convinced that he didn't know how to shoot. The idea made him laugh.
Then he shot. Six sharp blows, which came one after another. They were perfect, which silenced everyone. Apso knew what he was doing, and he didn't expect the exercise to be that easy. He was accustomed to moving targets. He came closer to the instructor:
“-So? What do you think about it?
-Meh. That was hardly decent.”
Apso got over himself in order to stay calm. He didn't understand. How could the instructor say that? He was confused, tried to understand:
“I see, do you advice to give?
-I've nothing to add”. The instructor wasn't even looking at Apso.
Apso didn't insist. He understood. The instructor probably decided that he wasn't worthwhile. He gave the weapon back to the armorer, who looked sorry for him. Before  leavinghe said goodbye to Scott, who seemed uncomfortable because of the situation.
On this way home, Apso thought that he should've expected this. Tensions between turians and humans had always existed, and even if they were allies some things couldn't be forgotten. Nevertheless,this situation suited him better than being seen as “the son of Shepard, savior of the galaxy”. Yes. He'd better be looked at the wrong way than be falsely appreciated.
When he arrived at home, he heard a voice:
“Hi Apso! Your dads aren't here so I served myself a drink.
-Uncle Wrex?!” Apso didn't expect to see his godfather Urdnot Wrex. He was the chief of the krogans, known and respected for helping to unite the krogans and cure the genophage.
“So, what about the Academy? Wrex asked, while laughing. Bet it's full of pyjaks!
-It's ok, their shooting exercises are really easy.
-Bwahaha! Like parents, like son!
-Not false.Apso answered , disturbed by the comparison.
-So, that was good to see you, but these assholes of the Council are waiting for me. See you next time and say hello to your parents for me!”
The next month passed really quickly. Apso continued to go to the Academy. Teachers' and students' attitudes didn't change. But Scott continued to talk to Apso. It was good for Apso to have a trustworthy friend at the Academy. He didn't talk about the situation to his parents. He didn't want to make them worry and was afraid that one of them would do something that could make people uncover the truth.
One day, at the end of his day at school, a krogan with a blue shell and a car on the left eye who was waiting for him.
“MORDIN!” Apso yelled . He hadn't seen his best friend for ages, and he was surprised and happy to see him.
“Hi Apso! I went to the Citadel for the day and I have some time, so let's enjoy this! How about we go and have a drink?
-Let's do this!”
Their friendly tradition was to meet each other at Chora's Den. This bar's reputation had been bad for many years. The only reason they liked it was because it marked the beginning of their parents' adventures.
“So Apso, how was your first month at the Academy?Mordin  asked.
-Hum...it was good.Apso lied ,not looking at his best friend.
-Are you still not aware that you don't know how to lie?”
Apso knew it, but he hoped that Mordin would eventually give up. But his friend wanted the truth, and knew how to get it. Apso took a deep breath:
“There is racism, even from teachers, and particularly from the shooting instructor who can't stand my face but he can't say anything because of my results. It's difficult to be accepted despite my efforts but I managed to keep the identity of my parents secret. However I made a friend, Scott, he's the only one who doesn't reject me.
-I see, I imagine that you want to keep it a secret, but did you tell your friend?
-…
-You should tell him. And hit the morons who piss you off, even if you don't like it. So I have to go though, my father must be waiting for me.
-Say hello to Wrex for me.
-Without fail, and take care of yourself!”

The High School Game Part 14
Here we go, hope you’ll like it !! As I said, the chapter in under the cut :)
Shirley DAY 104 Monday
Strangely, on Sunday, the young girl recieved a lot of message teasing about how abnormal she and her family was. She did not understood why, and she could not ask Dan, who was absent. Sam was not really aware of this, but promised to be with here on Monday, just in case. Also, they arrived together at the high school, and despite feeling all the eyes glancing at her, she was reassured by her boyfriend presence. However, Finn came to them when they reached the class.
"Hey, Shirley ! How dare you come here while you brother is a fucking freak ?" he asked.
She frowned, surprised. What the hell is he talking about ? Can't he let me in peace ? All around, their schoolmates were laughing, probably aware of something she did not knew.
"Come on Shirley ! Tell us how it is to live with a fucking gay ?"
"What ? What the fuck are you saying ?" she angrily asked.
The girl was stunned. Where did he found such an idiotic idea ?
"You don't know Lady B ? Please ! Everybody has this photo where he’s kissing another boy. Your brother, besides being fat, is gay ! He loves dick !"
They all laughed. Sam, as surprised as her, was unable to say anything. I can't believe this moron. My brother doesn’t love dick, fucking asshole. Go to hell. She clenched her fists and grumbled :
"Shut the fuck up Finn, you are lying."
"I'm not ! We all have the photo ! By he way, I wonder if he already had a sodomy ? Did he liked ?"
She felt tears in her eyes. This motherfucker was lying. He definitely was.
"What the hell is happening here ?" shouted Raphaël while arriving. "What are you doing guys ?"
"Making fun of Shirley and her dick-lover brother dude !" explained Finn.
The blond girl was not prepared to heard Raphaël's jokes. His laugh was the last thing she needed. Everything is his fault after all. This fucking devil humiliated her again. She could see Gregory, in stitches, as Finn, as Jessy. They all did what Raphaël asked. Enraged, completely mad and despaired, she rushed him. She gave him a kick in his balls, and started to beat him. She felt someone caught her, but she only was able to yell. I hate you ! I hate you all ! Two strongs arms pulled her back, and she was brought to the director's office in no time. I hate you ! I hate you all !
"She threatened him last Friday, yes. And she never hid her hate for him."
Shirley gave a pitiful look at Barbara. The class delegate and her was in Mr. Fisher's office. And she's telling everything is my fault. The blond girl knew this would happen. She was in trouble, now.
"I think she developed a rancor, and she decided he was respondible for all her sorrows. That's why she attacked him, despite he was only arriving, and innocent. She did not know how to react against Finn's jokes and just rushed her fictional ennemy."
Seriously... Anyway, her parents would never forgive her. Even Dan would be ashamed of this reaction. But to be honest, I hope this asshole is emasculated now.
"We can't tolerate this kind of behaviour, Shirley." stated Mr. Fisher. "Raphaël’s a nice boy, working hard and friendly with everyone. He did not deserve this punishment. I'll speak to your parents, but I'm thinking about an expelled from school."
"Mister, please." interrupted Barbara. "Shirley had issues in her family. And she always was an emotional girl, listenning to her heart. I'm sure she regrets her attitude and her actions. Be nice, an explusion is too much. Some hours of detention would be enough, I guess."
Mr. Fisher nodded. As for her, Shirley did not care. She did not regret. And she felt too depressed. Why Finn and the others made fun of her brother ? He was so nice and sweet ! He’s not a fucking dick-lover or whatever they said.
"Go out, girls." ordered Mr. Fisher.
Shirley followed Barbara in the corridor. She glimpsed Sam, waiting for her not far. However, her class delegate hold her back.
"In case you care, Shirley, I was convinced you deserved this expelling. I protected you because Raphaël asked me to do this. I told you, this war is pointless and dangerous. Be smart, and gave up, with him as with Gregory or whoever you offended. Nevertheless, I will always be behind you, watching for  the smallest error from you."
"I fucking don't care, Barbara." retorted the blond girl.
This evening, Shirley went home feeling depressed and pathetic. Raphaël did not left the nurse's office for the whole day (he was acting, however they would have call his parents) and everyone had stared at her. But at least, no one tried to tease her. Sam did his best to support her, but she was too sad. At home so, she was reaching her bedroom when she heard a weird noise from Dan's room. She knocked, curious. During a while, she only heard him moving, and then he shouted :
"Come in !"
The girl opened the door and entered. His brother, sat onto his bed, glanced at her. He worn his pajamas, which was weird at 19:00, and she saw a lot of wrapping lying around. By the look of his belly, round and distended, he ate the whole day. Anyway, she was not interested by his tummy, tonight.
"How are you bro ?" she asked. "People told me some weird rumour about ya today."
"What did they said ?" he replied, skipping her first question.
"Well, they said you're gay. But I know it's wrong, and I told them it was wrong, because you're not."
Dan lower his eyes. She felt the sadness took possession of him.
"Shirley... I don't know how to say it but... well... I am gay. That's not a lie."
She opened her eyes wide. No. No way. I just hit Raphaël to defend you.
"You know, being gay is not a sickness. I'm the same brother you always knew. I'm not different. We are still siblings. It's just my taste, that's all."
"Do you realise I went in the director's office and diced with expulsion because of this ?"
"I'm sorry, but..."
"Sorry ?! That can't be possible. You're not gay, that's not funny. What mum and dad will think ? And our sisters ? And what about our reputation ? Everyone will tease me now ! They just forgot me, and now, they will humiliate me everyday."
"I can ask Raphaël to protect you." whispered Dan with a dying tone.
"I don't give a fuck about Raphaël. He will throw you like a smelly sock, you know ? Please, tell everyone you're not gay ! Think about me. Please."
Her brother looked at her, and she saw a part of him disapear. He was crushed.
"I thought...." he mumbled poignantly. "I thought you would understand and be comprehensive about all this stuff... I was wrong. Please, get out of here sis', I need to be alone."
She stood up, crying, and left the room.
Gregory DAY 105 Thuesday
With a discreet moan, the young lad ate his last donut, satisfied. Despite his belly was already full from his sumptuous breakfast (bacon, scrambled egg, sausage, bread and milk) he had bought some donuts. Anyway, he was not bloated, only repleted. My consumption of energy is bigger now... Plus, he was especially satisfied since yesterday. Dan, Shirley's brother, just made his coming-out through a photo where he was kissing another man. Finn and the others had made a lot of fun with that, humiliating the blond girl. And this one blew a fuse, making a spectacle of herself. Plus, she hit Raphaël... It was so good. Gregroy took his can and drank, smiling about the irony of this situation. He finished quickly, burped and then entered in the schoolyard. He headed towards Finn and some teammates, but Kim, the new girl, hailed him. What is the matter now ? He barely spoke with her since her arrival. She was chubby, and not his taste, but maybe she could be useful. After all, she was here for three days now.
"Hi Gregory." she started. "Can I call you Greg by the way ?"
He silently nodded.
"Good, thanks. Well, can I ask you somethin' ?"
Again, he nodded (he was holding back a belch).
"I wonder why everyone call Shirley Lady Bellies ?"
He smiled. This nickname was so well-chosen, in light of Sam overweight. His fat tummy was the proof of her vice.
"Buuurp... well sorry. Shirley had a interest in... well-fed boys. She is kinda like a fat chaser, or whatever."
Kim raised her eyesbrown.
"Oh, I see. It's weird and kinda creepy... She did not know how it is hard to be fat, or what ?" she asked.
Indeed, being quite chubby herself, the newcomer had probably have been suffering from bullying during her schooling. However, Gregory did not care.
"Tell me Greg, why aren’t you captain ? You look perfect for the role... Is it because of Mister Perfect Raphaël ?"
"Yes it is." he was surprised by her tone. "Why ?"
"Man, I hate people like him and Shirley, who have perfect body and just took advange of it. Tell me if you want help in order to ridicule them, I'm in."
The young lad smiled. The newcomer was definitely interesting.
This afternoon, during gymclass, Greg felt stronger than ever (thanks to his constant snacking and energy drinks which gave him strengh). He finished 3rd on the running, behind Raphaël and another teammate uninteresting. And I wasn't to the max... I'm the best now... Nevertheless, he felt quite hungry. His belly gurgled. Sam, who was in the shower (Shirley was in detention today and tomorrow, and he came for exercise) next to him, smiled.
"Seems like you need some supply."
"Hell yes. I'm hungry everytime, I dunno why."
It was true. Despite eating a large breakfast, constant snacking donuts and eating then two meals at once at lunch, Gregory still felt hungry.
"I think you're doing a growth spurt and you need to bulk up." stated Sam.
Bulk up. Gaining mass muscle. Yeah, he had a point. Gregory was certainly bulking-up. It explained the whole thing. Because he was not fat. He smiled to his ex-partner. The boy, naked for his shower, revealed his round belly. It was rather a potbelly now. The constant eating, larges meals and lazy life he had chose took a toll on his body. And his gut supported the most of it. It was squishy, soft, jiggling with every move. Gregory stared for a while, smiling. He became a fucking fat cow. His pecs was history now, and he had two little man-boobs over his producting paunch. His arms and legs were slightly rounder, and his face hid a burgeonning double chin. I'm not like him. I have a fast metabolism, and I'm training every day. Yeah, I'm bulking up, for sure.
Liam DAY 105 Thuesday – 106 Wednesday
"Yeah, she was completely mad ! She kicked him in the balls !"
The lad was talking to Nate on the phone and telling him Shirley's last performance. This girl was crazy.
"Raphaël must be enraged !"
Liam took some chips, gulped them and replied :
"Not at all dude ! He went to the nurse's office, and that's all. Today, he was acting like if nothing happened. He didn’t even blame her !"
The goalkeeper was laid down onto his bed while snacking and talking. (Okay, that was unheatlhy, but teenagers are unheatlhy, remember ?).
"Well, Raphaël always was weird. You know my point, he's a mutant."
Liam laughed. They both were convinced of this. (Seriously convinced, no joke. Raphaël was certainly a mutant).
"Anyway dude, how is going Jessy's fattening ?" asked Nate.
"Slowly." answered the goalkeeper. "But I'm working on it. She's unaware of my intentions, and it's slowly effective."
Kim was his aim. Well, not Kim, but a physic like Kim's one for his actual girlfriend. (Anyway, he had not spoken with Kim yet, he was too shy.)
"Sounds good buddy. Are you doing everything Shirley told you to ?"
"Yes."
Lie. Well, half-lie. His friend taught him to constantly provide food for Jessy, during the whole day. Passive eating was, according to her, the best way to gain weight. But often, Liam ate half of his supplies before gave it to Jessy. (Yes, gluttony was his guilty pleasure, so what ?). Consequently, he often finished the day full, as much as her, maybe more.
"Okay, good. My mom call me for diner." informed Nate. "See ya ! Good luck with all this mess. And please, do not fear Kilian, I'm sure he is a sweet man."
"See ya. I'll do my best."
Liam hung up. (He told Nate his meeting with Kilian, and how creepy his schoolmate was. Seriously, who had a witch as mother, and a mafiosi as father ?). Looking through the window, he glimpsed Gregory and Thomas (Raphaël's brother) running. The young captain (because he was captain of the 10th grade team, obviously) was far ahead of the supporting striker of the 11th grade. They are brave... It was 20:00, and Liam was too busy doing nothing for training. (Yes, doing nothing was a great part of his life, but honestly, it was a great part of everybody's life). He did not exercise that much : gym class plus soccer. It was largely enough, and the nurse told him he was in good shape.
"Brother ! Time for diner ! Did you do your homework ?!"
Damnit, Chloe please. As an echo, his mother repeated :
"Son ! Time for diner ! Did you do your homework ?!"
He sighed. Being the only old man (his father left 10 years ago and his 3yo brother was not a grown man yet) in this family was hard. Really hard.
The next day, he did his morning workout being dozy. (Okay, morning workout because he was late and ran to reach the high school on time, but after all, this is a traning, isn't it ?). Once in biology class, he took a break to catch his breath again. Sat next to him, Raphaël smiled.
"Morning run ?" he asked softly.
"Yeah morning run."
(Knowing the team captain did a full running training every morning, this was a private and ironic joke). As always, it was time for a practical work, and Liam worked with his blond friend on a dissection.
"Shirley is watching us." whispered suddenly Raphaël. "Do not turn back."
"Why the hell is she doing this ?"
"Well, you're her friend, you must be more informed than I'm, but... I think she hates me and blames me for her brother coming out."
"What, that's senseless. I don't even understand why she blames someone."
To be honest, Liam did not care about gay or lesbian people. They made a choice, and he respected this. Their lives, their tastes. As long as nobody raped him (yes, Liam was an extreme boy) he was fine wih everybody's feelings. Suddenly, Kim walked near to us and dropped her dissected mouse on Raphaël shirt. She yelled :
"Oh my god ! I'm sorry ! Really, I'm sorry !"
Liam heard someone laugh, but he did not have time before Kim, trying to clean, fall forward. She tried to grasp something (like Raphaël's pants... Yes, Liam saw she tried to grip his pants). But failed and crashed against his captain, giving him a head-butt in the balls. This time, Gregory laughed so loud everybody could hear him, but the others were stunned. Well... please Raph' don't be mad... She just fell. Liam helped her to stand up while his captain headed slowly towards the door. He was walking like a penguin, but no one laughed (except Gregory, but Liam understood a long time ago this boy did not have brain).
"I'm really sorry." begged Kim. "I did not mean to hurt you ! I'm sorry."
Raphaël glanced at her. His cold voice made the whole class shiver. Even the professor, Mrs. Tran, stepped back.
"This is nothing, Kim. You just fell, do not worry." he said. "I'm going to the nurse's office. Liam, would you take my stuff when the lesson end, please ?"
The goalkeeper nodded. Maybe Raphaël was a mutant, but he was also awesome. Reacting like this ? It was a real and good attitude. That's why he is our captain and the most popular boy, after all...
Shirley DAY 106 Wednesday
Exactly like yesterday, the girl went to the detention room. This is a waste of time... This morning, Raphaël get kicked on the balls a second time, but she did not found that funny. She saw Kim,working her pratical with Gregory. They planned this shit together, for sure. And Shirley hated probably more Gregory than Raphaël. She sat in the class and glanced Kilian. The lad was here too, like yesterday. He was so discreet she thought he was part of the furniture. But I don't know why he is here... Sam tried to come, but the director understood their plan and told him he would be expelled. So she was alone with her strange schoolmate. Having nothing to do, she turned towards him.
"What are you doing here Kilian ?" she asked.
The boy, hid by his never-ending hood, stopped reading his book.
"I'm waiting. I can't go home too early, so I'm waiting here. The director agreed."
"Why ? You could be at the gymclass, or whatever ? Why stay here, in detention ?"
She could not understand. He was so weird...
"Well... I'm not sure I want to tell you."
"For the first time since we know each other, you reeled more than three words off. I guess you're trusting me."
"I'm not." he replied. "I'm offended by you, that's different."
What ? Why ? Again, someone blamed her. Could the world leave her ?
"I'm gay." he mumbled. "Like your brother."
"My brother is not..."
"He is !" interrupted Kilian. "You see, you're like the others. Being gay don't mean we are different, Shirley. Why denying the truth ? You're playing Raphaël's game exactly like Finn, Gregory and the others !"
"I don't get it. I'm not like those assholes."
She was surprised by his vehemence. And how the fuck did he know the game ?
"Come on Shirley ! You're saying your brother is not gay. He told you he is different, and you denied this difference, exactly like Finn, Tobias, Gregory, or even Sam at start denied your difference."
She opened her mouth, but did not reply.
"You know what ? I can guess everything you thought. You feared people's reaction. Your feared teasing. You were afraid for your reputation. For your family reaction. You were frightened they would not understand Dan's choice. You even asked him to deny his taste, in order to protect you. Am I wrong ?"
Shirley shook her head. She exactly did that.
"But have you, even once, put yourself in your borther's place ? He asked for you support, I'm sure he did. And you just threw him like a smelly sock. Gregory and you are not really differents, Shirley."
"How..." she was stunned by his logic. "How did you know all of this ?"
She felt pathetic. Kilian was true. She acted like a monster, and blamed Raphaël to hide her own frustration.
"I'm not talking much about me, as you would expect, but your situation hurt me personally. My father beat me since the day I did my coming out. My two older brothers call me the dick-lover, and they beat me too. My mother blames me for every single problem. My entire neigborhood hate me. I'm bullied every morning and every night. I can't bring friends home, and I can't play sports. I can't come to party. All of this only because my father fears that I will spread my sickness. My fucking sickness. Do you get it ? He fears my sickness."
Shirley never felt so heartbroken. How could I be so selfish ? She felt pity for Kilian. His plaster, black eyes... Everything made sense now. Even his skinny frame : he was probably ravenous. And she was doing the same to Dan. Exactly the same.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be." he retorted. "You want to do something ? Find your brother and tell him how much you love him. It will be hard for you to get back his faith, but you still can. Your family isn’t dead yet."

Veep: 10 Hilarious Amy Brookheimer Quotes That Were Just Plain Vicious
Amy Brookheimer was a complicated character. She had no illusions about the game of politics and could play it as well as the next person. She had a moral compass. She didn’t always follow it, but it was there. Mostly, though, she had no time for incompetence, idiocy, or anything that didn’t forward her goal of putting Selina Meyer in the Oval Office.
She did not suffer fools gladly. Unfortunately for her, fools surrounded her. She spent so much energy trying to save Selina from her own worst instincts, she didn’t have any left to prevent her from being brutally honest with those around her. This led to some truly wonderful rants and insults.

10 “You are like an earlobe. You’re just there, just wobbling.”
Tumblr media
One of the most incompetent people on Team Meyer was Communications Director Mike McClintock. Aside from Gary he’d been with Selina the longest, but he’d never been particularly good at his job. In the episode “Catherine”, he avoided making an announcement that he knew would be met unhappily. His continual reluctance drove Amy crazy. They finally laid down a concrete event where he had to make the announcement but when asked if he had informed people, he was still avoiding it, not wanting everyone to be angry at him. In the end, everyone still yelled at him, including Amy.
9 “Dan is a shit… He’s a massive and totally shit. When you first meet him, you think surely to God this man can’t be as big a shit as he seems, but he is.”
Tumblr media
Amy and Dan dated before Selina hired him in the first episode. Before Selina hired him, she wanted to find out more about him, so she asked Amy what she thought about him. Amy let her know immediately what she thought of Dan and held nothing back.

Amy continued, “Because like if there were a book with covers made of shit, you’d think, ‘That’s intriguing. I wonder what’s in this book that they saw fit to give it covers made of pure shit.’ And then you open it and… shit.” Despite Amy’s vivid descriptor, Selina still invited Dan to join the team, and he more or less proved Amy right.
8 “You’re not even your mother’s favorite Jonah, Jonah.”
Tumblr media
With the amount of abuse he took in the show, Jonah would almost be a pitiable character. Instead, with everything he does and says, he just makes himself worthy of the bile thrown at him. The sole reason he worked at the White House is because his uncle Jeff owned the New Hampshire vote. But he acted as though he was the most powerful person in Washington.
As the White House liaison to the VP’s office, Selina’s team had to deal with him. But they didn’t have to like it. So when Jonah enters the office with, “Look who it is, everybody. It’s your favorite Jonah,” how else can Amy respond.
7 “Hello Leon. It’s always good to see the most left-swiped face on Tinder.”
Tumblr media
Amy tried to play nice with the press. She knew that staying on their good side was the smart thing to do. The one person she couldn’t really manage that with was Leon West. Working for the Washington Post, Leon had a huge audience. But he was also an enormous pain in the ass of Team Meyer. He always lurked, trying to catch them out on something.
Leon ambushed Amy in the grocery store, trying to get her to spill which of Selina’s staff members had called her a c***. (It turns out it was everyone, with the exception, of course, of Gary.) When he approached with an insult, she had to respond in kind. She couldn’t help herself.

6 “She’s offering you vice president, you monument to vaginal dryness.”
Tumblr media
In the final season, Amy left Selina’s staff after being offered a better, more challenging job as Jonah’s campaign manager. Her years in Washington had taken any idealism she had left and ground it into a pulp. She didn’t believe in anything Jonah stood for, but she knew if she managed to have him be a real contender for president, her credentials in Washington would go way up.
Managing Jonah was an arduous task. He wouldn’t listen to anyone, he insulted everyone, and his most heinous ideas always took off with his base supporters. But he did have a strong base, which, in order to secure the nomination, meant that Selina had to offer him VP to get his numbers. But Jonah, as always didn’t understand what was going on, leading Amy to snap at him.
5 “You have three kids by two different men. Maybe your last word should have been, ‘no’.”
Tumblr media
Possibly the most contentious relationship in Amy’s life was that with her sister, Sophie. Other than sharing parents, the only other thing they had in common was an attraction to Dan. Very occasionally they got along for a short amount of time, but it always ended with them sniping at each other.
When their father had a health scare, Amy went to the hospital even though it’s during the mid-term elections. It turned out to be nothing, and Amy was frustrated that her sister made it seem like their father was dying. In their argument, Sophie accused Amy of always needed to have the last word. Amy certainly did in that fight.
4 “Gary, your inner child needs to grow an outer man.”
Tumblr media
For the most part, as long as they didn’t threaten her position in Selina’s administration, Amy got along with the rest of Team Meyer. That included Gary, who many others made fun of or ignored. Of her whole team, with the exception of Mike, they were with her the longest and were the closest to her. That being said, occasionally she would be frustrated with his meekness. When he avoids telling Selina about a painting that he had moved, leading to problems with Native Americans, Amy and Sue both tell him that he has to just do it.
3 “Were you sent from the future to destroy me? ‘Cause it’s working! ‘I think that each candidates has merits and demerits, and I don’t know my left butt cheek from my right butt cheek, but I believe in listening to both butt cheeks and farting out my asshole mouth.’”
Tumblr media
Amy never hated anyone the way she hated Karen Collins, an old friend of Selina’s who joined the campaign as advisor. Karen was infamously indecisive, never coming down on one side or the other. As Selina’s campaign manager, Amy kept trying to get Selina to make firm decisions, but she’d be swayed by Karen each time. Finally, when Doyle dropped out as Selina’s running mate, Amy tried to get her to ask Tom James as his replacement. Selina asked Karen’s opinion, and as always she equivocated.
Amy continued, “That’s not even bullshit. Bullshitting takes talent. You have none. You’re just a blah-blah-blah bitch.” An excellent take-down and something everyone had wanted to say.
2 “You are not Michael Jordan. You are a seven-foot-seven, goony-looking Lithuanian who’s going to drop dead of Marfan Syndrome.”
Tumblr media
Again the target of some of Amy’s most poisonous bile was Jonah. But he set her up perfectly. In Nevada, Amy and Dan tried to get a recount of the presidential votes as Selina lost by a very narrow margin. They were forced to take along Richard who had in depth knowledge of Nevada’s voting system, as well as Jonah, who had been regulated to Richard’s assistant. Jonah, of course, chafed at that, saying, “You guys have Michael Jordan sitting on the bench here, but you’re starting Hakeem Olajutwat.” Never has a Jonah insult been more deserved.

1 “You have achieved nothing apart from one thing. The fact that you are a woman means that we will have no more women presidents because we tried one and she f***ing sucked.”
Tumblr media
In the same scene where Amy took down Karen Collins, she also turned on Selina. The fact that Anna Chlumsky didn’t win an Emmy for this scene alone was a travesty. For years Amy offered Selina sound advice only to have it ignored and then be blamed when things went wrong. She’d finally had enough and told Selina exactly what she thought of her on her way out.
The lead-in to the above quote was just as good. “You have made it impossible to do this job. You have two settings – no decision and bad decision. I wouldn’t let you run a bath without the Coast Guard and the fire department standing by, but here you are running the country. You are the worst thing that has happened to America since food in buckets. And maybe slavery.” Brilliant.
