Smiffina Episodes - Episode 270

Steve rushes over to the body of the sniper and calls the fall in, requesting an ambulance. Gabriel panic cleans the scene and injures his hands on purpose in the door to make it look like he was in a struggle with the sniper. He fakes shock and tells Steve when he runs up to him that he tried to save his life and keep hold of him but he fell because he couldn't keep his grip. Adam finds Steve later outside the building whilst Gabriel was in the ambulance. He tells him not to confer with Gabriel and that the DPS are involved.Rowan is suspicious. Clearly someone was feeding him information from inside the station.

Smithy is fuming - something huge has happened and yet again Gabriel is in the middle of it. He gave instructions to go floor by floor and flat by flat but he knows Gabriel ran straight up to the top floor like he knew where he was going. Andrea asks if he can prove it and unfortunately he can't - Andrea advises him to wait for MIT to ask and then tell them what he knows.

Gabriel goes to the toilet before seeing the FME, taking the opportunity to hide the Snipers wallet, notebook and phone in the cistern. Once he leaves the situation he drives somewhere remote and sets fire to them.

The next morning, Rowan tells Adam that the sniper has been named as he has an assault conviction and they've matched his finger prints. He was ex special boat service in the Navy. and Rowan is aware that Gabriel was also in the Navy. MIT interview Smithy first and he tells them that he sent Steve and Gabriel to work together to search the back of the building and go floor by floor. The next thing he knew was Steve reporting that Gabriel had run off on his own and run to the top floor. Rowan asks if he's trying to infer anything to her from that - and he says no, he's just telling the facts as they are.

Gabriel is finally interviewed. Gabriel makes out that he tried to keep him out and that he broke in as the wounds on his hands show. He then struggled with the suspect who tried to force him away, in the momentum he went over the balcony. Gabriel insists he tried to keep hold of him but couldn't. He asks why they haven't asked Steve about it. Rowan tells him they have - but Steve is confused about what he saw.

Gabriel confronts Steve in the canteen and twists and manipulates him. Steve has a strong suspicion that Gabriel pushed him but he can't know for sure. He tells him that he never pushed him. Gabriel tells him that MIT think he's covering for him - and that he can't say that he didn't see - because he did. Steve looks even more confused which, god love him, isn't difficult for his actor as it's often James' expression.

Steve goes back to speak to Rowan and tells her that he didn't have a clear view of the actual going over of the balcony but he was definitely holding onto the sniper. He tells Rowan that it looks like the sniper tried to take Gabriel with him and pull him down. He assures Rowan that Gabriel has not put him up to it, he just needed more time to think.

Rowan speaks to Adam and tells him that she suspects Gabriel dropped the sniper over the balcony on purpose but she can't prove it. She isn't sure if he took his revenge for PC Young or if he was the officer who was telling the sniper information. They can't establish a connection other than both being in the Navy. The DPS find no case to answer and MIT have found the sniper and so their jobs are done.

Gabriel is up to Sun Hill.

As an aside, I don't know why Rowan was so adamant Kerry would have known she was pregnant at the point she died. She clearly didn't as she didn't mention it to Smithy or even suspicions of it given they were sniffing round each other with view to a relationship. And also, it would be the evidence she'd have needed if she'd realised who the father was (not slut shaming her but there were a number of sexual partners as well as her rape) if she had an abortion or carried the baby through to full term she had his dna as proof for her allegation. Yes they'd have to prove the baby was conceived through rape rather than her word against his after they'd "fallen out" as Gabriel would term it but it would be food for thought all directions and proof something had happened.

Bonus lols for Yvonne as Acting Sgt asking Smithy if she's being ignored by the relief as she's only acting Sgt whilst they get a replacement for June. Smithy tells her it's ok, she's not being ignored, it was him that asked the uniform member in question to go to a different location. She asks him to let her know if anything changes and he pretends to look put out. "Alright then, Sarge..." he says with half a smirk.

It's the night of the Christmas Party. Smithy and Andrea are sat on a settee , scowling in the direction of Gabriel. Gabriel comes over to them and thanks Smithy for 'standing up for him' because no case was found to be answered.

A very drunk Smithy asks Andrea if she's waiting for somene and that the man who has stood her up is a mug. He says they're like "Two lost souls in a boat." before both dissolve into drunken laughter. "What's that about?" "I've no idea!"

Unfortunately for Andrea, by the time Neil does turn up he's just in time to see her kiss Smithy.

i feel like about 10% of fionna and cake was made for me to enjoy deeply, 50% of it is Alright, 30% of it is nothing to me, and the remaining 10% actively annoys me.

#me watching any adventure time related content that is not episode 270 “bonnibel bubblegum”: well it's no episode 270 “bonnibel bubblegum.”#about five billion percent of my adventure time enjoyment is just me being abnormal about bubblegum.#but gary is nothing to me. so.#that being said. jinkx monsoon lemongrab. extraordinary casting.#i think i was like. most surprised that parts seem less dark than adventure time (classic).#falls into that “oh we can have blood now so we have blood” and then it lost some of the more subtle “oh that's messed up” stuff.#sometimes genre constraints are a good thing and can force creativity.

Kawaki Academy Arc: Hana Sensei Pt. 2

So Hana-sensei is also back at school. Now that she’s out of the hospital, Anko and Shino explain that the terrorist attack wasn’t random - they were after her student Kae specifically. Hana feels guilty for not noticing, but she puts on a brave face for everyone.

Kawaki is also back at school. He thinks everything ended too neatly, making the good point that if the assassin actually intended for their last attack on Kae to work, they wouldn’t have strapped explosive tags to their body. So he still attends Academy with Himawari, which makes her smile.

In the classroom, Osuka leads the class to give Hana-sensei a welcome-back surprise. She’ll lead a chant, and Kawaki will pull a rope that will release flower petals into the room. But someone didn’t set up the trap right, so the ball just bounces and spills petals over the floor. But it’s the thought that counts, so she thanks the kids and scoops the petals up in a keepsake box at her desk.

After school, she wanders around trying to remember what happened the day of the attack. She has a massive hole in her memory and doesn’t remember why she was in the building that collapsed. Kawaki spots her wandering around and asks what the hell she’s doing. Seeing him next to the hole triggers memories of Hana fighting as Purple Mask.

She sprints home, and we get a genuinely creepy scene of her frantically tearing her house apart while experiencing flashbacks of past episodes and an reoccurring image of a bloody kunai. Hana finds a secret room behind her closet filled with weapons, masks, and pictures of the minions from the last episode.

Then we see a reflection of another Hana in the mirror with blood red hair - her alternate self. Apparently her hair was less about making her design more anime and more about distinguishing her various personalities.

Now before I say any further: THIS IS NOT HOW DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER WORKS! I know it’s a common trope, but people with DID aren’t naturally violent, and they can’t open up a hotline with their alternate selves via mirrors.

ANYWAY. Black Hana gets sucked into Flashback Land, where Red Hana explains everything. So years ago, the Minister of Bamboo (the mastermind behind Kae’s attempted assassination) rounded up 50 orphans. He then made them fight to the death in a battle royal, and the survivors became his personal assassination squad.

Hana couldn’t handle the trauma of murdering all her friends, so she developed an alter ego as a defense mechanism. Red Hana got her hands dirty so Black Hana could live in oblivious peace.

This makes Black Hana’s ditziness pretty disturbing, because she’s not a naturally forgetful or clumsy person - she’s forced to be that way because she’s always had gaps in her memory, and her body is sleep deprived from living two lives.

So after the Bamboo Minister wasted 40-some perfectly good orphans, Hana and another operative were sent as sleeper agents to Konoha, posing as father and daughter. Black Hana thought being a teacher was her childhood dream, but Red Hana says her mission was to infiltrate the Academy as a citizen.

Which begs the question: Did the Minister look at baby Kae and think - in 10 years I’m going to send this girl to be a foreign exchange student and have my assassin kill her in the school? Or was Hana just there to kill and kidnap kids from powerful families, and he decided Kae would be the first victim?

Also, HOW OLD IS HANA? She says she came to Konoha a decade ago, and she looks no older than 13, which would make her 23. But she sometimes shows the little eye marks the animators use for not-so-young adults, so...F it, I’m going to say she’s Konohamaru’s age.

As an additional mindfuck, we see how Hana pulled off her fake suicide bombing. The same guy who brought her to the village as her fake dad just waltzes into her hospital room after the terrorist attack. He tells her to use his body for a fakeout, then plunges a kunai into his chest. The night of the last assassination attempt, Red Hana switched her body out with her fake father’s and exploded the corpse, then snuck back into the hospital as Black Hana.

Black Hana is horrified by her crimes and tries to turn herself in, but Red Hana mentally chains her up. Red Hana poses as the teacher and acts smiley toward the kids. But as the class is distracted chatting about the upcoming field trip, she crushes a butterfly in her fist, dumps it into the petals from the welcome stunt, and throws her keepsake box in the trash.

Kawaki watches her bug murder with his mouth agape and decides he no longer ships Hana and Shino-sensei. No, actually he just looks suspicious.

After class, everyone leaves, but Kae runs back because she forgot something. Sensing an opportunity to attack the princess, Red Hana rushes toward the classroom with a kunai. But Black Hana takes over for a split second and stops her by SLICING OPEN HER OWN HAND.

Kae, Kawaki, and Himawari run into her. Kawaki notices some blood by her feet. Hana keeps her back to them and says “Ahaha, it’s okay, I just tripped and cut myself. I’m so clumsy!” Meanwhile the front of her clothes are spattered in blood. Kawaki’s suspicion is officially piqued.

After the kids leave, Red Hana goes back into her mind and traps Black Hana with mental chains, saying she’ll never interfere with her work again.

#Boruto ep 270 #Hana-sensei #Kawaki #Kae #Himawari #You all were right #Hana-sensei is the new Sumire #I thought it was going to be the W kid #since he looks like a short middle aged man #this episode was actually quite good #if you overlook the ableist DID tropes #I did not expect the Academy arc to go on this long #I honestly expected it to be a 2-3 episode deal

konig and the reader are roommates; best friends with a slight attraction to each other. reader decides to go out clubbing with some girlfriends, showing off her tight dress to konig before leaving— which ultimately arouses him hardly ;))

konig let’s his dick get the best of him and goes through the readers pantie drawer (#pantiekink) and goes back to his room, jerking himself off to the reader’s panties.. and boom reader comes back early and catches him.

(show your post about writers block, though you could execute this idea perfectly)

So sorry this took so long to write. This ask was sent back in November. I got a little carried away while writing this. Love this prompt so much! Thank you for sending it in and hope you enjoy :) (not proofread) PART 2

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆♕⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

After a long week of writing essays, listening while your professors drone on and on and spending every waking second studying or working your part time job. Simply to say you were beat and exhausted. Wanting nothing more than to stay in, catch up on some z's and possible a few episodes of your new favourite show.

But atlas you received a last minute text from your BFF.

I'm picking you up at 8, better look cute.

Throwing yourself back on your bed, letting out a loud huff. Knowing damn well you won't be able to say no to her. A soft knock against the frame of the door brought your attention back to reality.

He was tall, brooding and all to yummy, as your friends say. Your roommate König stood in the doorway, taking up all the space. His head reaching right to the top of the frame.

"Hey, didn't here you come in." you said sitting up. You kicked your shoes off and began typing back your response.

"Got plans?" he inquired. Leaning into the frame, crossing his over his chest. Making every muscle tighten and bulge just how you like it.

"Hmm, Kate's dragging me to some bar most likely." you replied to him. "I better get ready now, knowing her she'll show up early." it wasn't a surprise that your friend group loved to show up at your place. They all loved to sit around and ogle your roommate.

After answering an ad in the university student paper, you found yourself being shown around a decently sized 2 bedroom apartment only a block away from campus. It was too good to be true and too good to pass up. The landlord explaining that the first room was already rented out. You didn't mind sharing with a male, he seemed more than tidy. And you needed away from the awful university dorm rooms.

First meeting König, that was one for the books. After hauling your belongings up the 3 flights of stairs. Of course the elevator would break the day your were moving in. Struggling to get the key in the door, only to be greeted by a 6'7 and 270 lbs man standing bare cheated in the kitchen. You damn nearly fell over. Needing a moment to catch your breath.

Kate went on and on for weeks about him. Telling you if you didn't make a move she will. You had to remind her she had a long term boyfriend and you were seeing someone at the time, which soon fizzled out.

"I don't understand why you never say no to her." he tried to rationalize. You pushed passed him on your way to the shared bathroom.

"It's better today yes than listen to her complain." you told him back. Shutting the door before he could say anymore.

You took a quick shower, making sure to shave every nook and cranny. Layering yourself in body butter and making sure to spritz extra perfume. You choose to leave your hair straight, and simple makeup.

Tapping your foot against the aged wood floor, having a hard time decided between a short tight black dress or to go more casual in shorts and a cute top.

"Go with the dress." König voice reached you from your door. Startling you out of your thought, causing you to drop the dress onto the floor. König walked right in, bending down to the floor and retrieving the skimpy black dress. Still on his knees he held it up for you to grab, his head was so close to your core which was now pulsing with desire. You cheeks were flushed as you snatched it out of his grasp.

"Thanks.." you said hesitantly, turning away from him. He left you in silence, closing the door on his way out. You pulled out matching pair of lace lingerie, the ones you buried deep in your dresser. A gift from Kate, you've never worn them so todays that day you do.

You took a deep breath before stepping out into the shared common area, König's attention was on the football (American soccer) game. The click of your heels drawing his attention away. You stood their, twirling your fingers around. Shrinking under his lustful gaze. König cleared his throat, adjusting himself in his pants.

"How do I look?" you asked bashfully, the heat of your blush rising up from chest and across your face. "You look...." he was lost for words, the way the dress hugged every curve. "You look beautiful." he stood from his seat, the fabric over his crotch pulling tight against his throbbing cock. He knew he shouldn't be having these thoughts about you.

But he couldn't help himself. From the moment he set eyes on you, he was entranced.

"Give me a little spin." he commanded. Taking two long strides, taking your hand into his and giving you a little twirl. The giggle that came out of your mouth went straight to his cock.

Bzzz BZZZZZZ

The apartment buzzer rang through the space, pulling yourself away you rushed to the com system. "I'll be right down." you yelled through it. Hearing a mixture of garble coming from the other end.

"I'll probably be home late, if not I might crash at Kate's. I'll try not to wake you." the words rushed out of you as you ran around grabbing the last minute items before shuffling out the door.

König didn't get a goodbye in, or a have fun. The pit of jealously boiling up in his stomach stopped him. He watched from the livingroom as you bundled into Kate's car, watching the tail lights disappear down the street. He turned his attention back to his football game. But he couldn't focus, the ache of his cock kept plaguing his thoughts.

Usually he reserved himself to either his or the shower. But he couldn't help himself, pulling out his throbbing cock. It was already hard as a rock, the tip angry and leaking just a bit. The first few strokes had him holding his breath. He needed more, abandoning his spot on the couch, dick exposed to the air. He found himself in your room. It was smaller than his, everything was messily thrown around. He made his way right to your panties drawer, digging in the back to find the black lace panties you hid.

He came back empty handed, the thought of you wearing them under the dress had his cock leaking down the front of his pants, making a mess. He settled on a satin pair, purple in color with a small rose in the front.

Seating himself back on the couch, panties wrapped tight around his member. Stroking himself with you panties, using his knuckles to muffle out his wonton moans. He was too focused on the duty at hand. He didn't hear the door unlocking and the soft click of your heals.

You walked down the hall towards the shared living area, seeing König still on the couch. Pulling the straps of your heels off you let the loudly clank to the floor. You were a little iratated but also thankful that the night didn't go as planned.

König's head shot around, eyes wide in horror to seeing you standing behind him. If you didn't know better, it was like you caught him in the middle of something. The closer you got, you understood why.

Konig had your favourite pair of panties in his fist. His leaking tip poking out the top, as fast as it happened he through a pillow over his lap to block your view.

Stumbling backwards you rushed out some apologies. Babbling on about giving him some space.

König didn't want space at all, he wanted you. His hungry eyes watching has the hem of your dress rose up your thighs, just about exposing you ass. He stood quickly, following you into your room.

"I'm so sorry." you kept repeating. The heat of the embrassment flushed on your face. König stood there, cock out as he tried to get you to look at him.

"OMG!" you screamed, quickly averting your eyes. "Doll look at me." he tried to get you to face him but you couldn't. "Can you please put it away at least." he found your question amusing. "Why? Does it scare you?" he asked back. You scoffed at him, but deep down it did just a little.

Yes you've seen a handful of cocks before but none of them compared to König's.

"No." you said quietly.

"Why don't you touch it a bit, it won't bite." he took a small step towards you. Your stained panties still in his hand.

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆♕⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

LMFAO ok he got a little pervy at the end. I kinda want to make a part two now.

it’s been a year, mike. (MAJOR BYLER REVELATION INCOMING---MUST READ)

mike and will constantly saying "a year" or "all year" when talking about the time since the move when it's only been six months keeps me up at night

i saw people talking about how they say a year when it was only 6 months because they’re idiots in love and are being dramatic. as cute as that is, i didn’t really buy it until RIGHT NOW. i just saw it as a cute headcanon, but now i see that the writers could be enabling you to make this realization by use of subtext.

allow me to explain

^ these are the three times they say it

at first i thought the writers may have just used year because that’s less confusing for the audience because 1 year time jumps have been used before in stranger things and are super popular in books/movies/tv shows. BUT, it clicked for me that that doesn’t make sense. the timeline in stranger things has always been acknowledged. throughout s1 we hear the amount of time will has been missing several times (as far as i remember). in s2, mike counted the days el had been gone. he called her every night for 353 days. when el and hopper argue in s2, el uses specific numbers to tell us how long she’s really been with him. in s3 hopper specifically says ‘6 long months’ when talking about how long he’s been dealing with mike (lol). that's the same amount of time between s3 & s4, yet mike and will don't say 6 months, they say year. there’s a date at the start of every season. and in s4, el says this in her letter to mike.

185 days = 6 months (almost on the dot)

the writers have specifically told us how long it’s been since they moved, down to the amount of days. and it’s 6 months, not a year. this makes it very hard for me to write off mike and will saying ‘year’ as just the writers slipping up. also in el’s letter, she says this:

this is INSANE.

mike and will are saying the wrong amount of time. the writers aren’t stupid, they know how much time has passed since season 3. THEY WROTE IT. i’m a writer as well, and i know how much time is passing between what im writing because I CREATED IT. IT CAME FROM MY BRAIN. and like i said, the stranger things writers have proven to be very keen on dates and time. all of this happening in the same season is not a slip up, its on purpose. stranger things 4 had a 30 million dollar budget PER EPISODE. do the math--that’s 270 MILLION DOLLARS. and yes, i know they supposedly forgot will’s birthday, but that’s different. his birthday is a date that was mentioned one time and served no purpose aside from creating emotional tension in that one scene. none of their birthdays are important to the plot, hell, will’s is the only one mentioned in the show and it wasn’t even on his birthday. one date that was mentioned one time and never brought up again is NOT the same as continuous attention given to timelines/time jumps over the course of all four seasons. and some fans theorize that they’re lying about forgetting his birthday anyway. either way, its not the same.

so....the writers want us to know that emotions can make time speed up or slow down....and that el’s week has felt very fast because of her emotions....and then show us mike and will SPECIFICALLY deviating from the timeline established in the SECOND LINE OF EPISODE ONE “yeah, but you knew she was having problems for months and didn’t tell me.” “its been six months, mike.”, or “it’s been months, mike.” or not even including that line at all, or “the past couple months have been weird” would’ve worked and stayed in check with the timeline we’ve already established. but when writing those scenes, they chose to say year. which is flat out wrong and way off from the actual time they’ve been apart.

and what did el say makes time speed up or slow down? emotions? oh, okay got it

the first two times mike and will say it’s been a year are in the same scene: the rink o mania fight. emotions are high. they’re in a pretty serious fight. its not about something dumb, it’s about their ten year friendship and how they’ve grown apart. their friendship is VERY important to both of them. (remember when mike said asking will to be his friend is the best thing he’s ever done?) the third time it’s said is when mike is opening up to will in episode 4. it’s a very emotional scene. mike is being honest and vulnerable with his feelings. in this conversation he apologizes and admits that will didn’t deserve how mike had been treating him, which mike never does to anyone else. he admits his relationship with will is different and home isn’t the same without him, and that he feels like he lost will and wants to be best friends again.

and the obvious: emotions making time speed up or slow down doesn’t just apply to in the heat of the moment occasions. (in theory) mike and will are in love. the six months they’ve been separated felt like a year to them because of their emotions, just like el said in the letter. and mind you, will is canonically in love with mike, yet they’re both acting the same way about this. it’s not just will. it makes sense for six months to feel like a year to will because of his emotions, because he is in love with mike, right? well, mike feels the exact same way. this isnt even about the characters as people. narratively speaking, mike and will both doing this doesn’t make sense if it’s unrequited. one way writers show how characters aren’t on the same page about something, a relationship for instance, is whether they’re on the same emotional page about different plot points. something major and emotional happens to all the characters---now we watch how they react to it. and i don’t mean small disagreements & such, characters are allowed to feel differently about things. i mainly mean when whatever happened is painful and important to one or more of the characters. for example, steve and nancy. steve and nancy didn’t feel the same about barb, barb’s parents, and everything that happened in general. steve wanted to keep on like nothing happened while nancy was literally eaten up with grief, guilt, and trauma. jonathan was the one who was on the same page as her and made her feel better about carrying that baggage around all the time. they understood each other. and who was nancy in love with? jonathan. narratively, that makes perfect sense and even further sways the audience into understanding they’re in love.

so...what? the emotions that made mike and will’s six months apart feel like a year to them is....friendship? not a fucking chance. mike and el are a couple, and according to mileven fans, they’re the main couple of the show who are in love and are going to be an endgame couple. why save this incredibly romantic coded trope for will and mike, the best platonic bros? idk, you tell me. and the fact that the line about emotions came from someone in the love triangle?? and it was said to someone else in the love triangle?? not a coincidence.

edit: someone reblogged and pointed out how el said 185 in her letter to mike that we SEE him reading. there is no reason for him not to know how long it's been. so either he isn't paying attention to a damn thing el says in her letters or he is just extremely in love with will

another edit: i keep seeing reblogs of people saying they're probably referring to the time since mike and el started dating, which i used to think too. but the context when mike and will say a year makes it hard for me to believe.

"but you knew she was having trouble for like a year and you didn't tell me"

here mike is specifically talking about el's bullying problem which has only been going on since the byers have been gone and she enrolled in school. what he's talking about is something very strictly related to the time since they moved, and it's been six months, not a year.

"you called maybe a couple times. it's been a year, mike. meanwhile el has like a book of letters from you."

will is again, very specifically talking about something that strictly happened between the time since the byers left and the start of s4. he's saying how crazy it is that it's been a whole year and mike has barely called. but it hasn't been a year, it's only been six months.

"the last year has been weird, you know? and you know, max and lucas and dustin, they're great, they're great, it's just..it's hawkins it's not the same without you. and i feel like maybe i was worrying too much about el...i don't know maybe i feel like i lost you or something."

this one i will cut some slack, i think he could be talking about literally the last year, as in since the beginning of 1985. but immediately after he starts saying how home hasn't been the same without will (and separates his relationship with will as being different than his relationship with max dustin and lucas and even el), something specific to the time since they byers have been gone, six months, not a year:

in conclusion: mike and will referring to their time apart as a year when it’s only been six months is not a mishap on the writer’s part. they go out of their way to make sure you know exactly how much time has passed, down to the number of days, and they put this much attention on time in every season. and in the same season mike and will do this, there is a line in the SECOND LINE OF THE OPENING SCENE OF THE SEASON about emotions making time go by faster or slower.

byler is going to be a s5 surprise, but its not coming out of nowhere. there’s piles of subtext in every single season---enough that when you look back, it all makes sense. small details like this aren’t outlandish because this is without a doubt the length writers will go to keep something hidden, and in byler’s case and many other tv show plots case, to keep something a surprise. and for christ’s sake, WATCH THE SHOW! the amount of attention to even the TINIEST details in stranger things is insane. they put so much thought into everything---not just ships, and not just byler. idk how many times the writers are going to have to say details matter and that there are no coincidences until people believe them.

anyways, byler is endgame. thanks for reading :)
