Akio

CW: References to the death of a friend, grief, suicide, murder

Sequel to Found Out and this past flashback to Oliver Branch

The sound of thin, breaded pork cutlets frying in the big pan on the stove fills the air, and Akio breathes in the familiar smell where he lays on his back on his parents’ gigantic cream-colored sectional couch, stretched out across the whole length of it on one side. Not that he’s all that tall to take up all that much space, really, but what matters is that he would definitely have fallen asleep by now if it weren’t for holding his phone up over his face.

It fell on him, once, and he’s pretty sure no one noticed. Emi, his younger sister, hasn’t even looked up once from her own phone, except once to triumphantly announce that no one caught her and they all voted someone else off the ship. Then she looked back down and never looked back up.

Akio frowns, looking at his own screen, tapping his thumbs as he writes out an answer to the person messaging him. “Hey, Mom?”

“Yes?” His mother looks up from cooking, her eyes moving through the big open space right to him. They’d knocked down all the walls when they bought the house, open-concept-something-something. Akio didn’t care, but it was apparently deeply important to his parents. Something about family togetherness.

“You remember Tristan Higgs, right?”

Aimi pauses, tucks a bit of her short black hair behind one ear to get it out of her eyes as she flips the pork cutlets on by one, to get the other side nicely browned, too. The sizzling ratchets up in volume and then back down again. Next to her sits four bowls already filled with rice, and the table already has the vegetables ready to go. “Of course, honey. Oh, the anniversary’s coming up, isn’t it? I have an alarm set on my phone… did you want to go to the cemetery next week to see Ronnie and Paul?”

“Ew, no creepy graveyards for me, thanks,” Emi says, eyes still glued to her phone.

“We wouldn’t take you anyway,” Akio says, rolling his eyes. “You don’t even remember Tris or his parents.”

“I do, too. I was like seven. He was really nice. Mrs. Higgs was really nice, too. Mr. Higgs was weird.”

“Wow, what a stellar eulogy that was, Emi. I can see why you want to be a writer when you grow up. The description there was just incredible.”

“Oh, go drive into a lake,” Emi says, without any particular rancor in her voice.

“If you’re going to fight, I’m going to send you two upstairs so I at least don’t have to listen to it,” Aimi says, moving the cutlets to rest on a paper plate with paper towels lining it while she heats mirin, soy sauce, and… some other stuff in a different pan. Honestly, Akio has no idea exactly how katsudon happens, all he cares about is that it’s the perfect after-practice food and he is starving.

Except he keeps getting distracted by this guy on Insta. “Anyway, Mom, um, about Tris. So… yeah, I do want to go out and see his parents next week, yeah, but-... there’s this guy on Instagram who keeps asking about him. That’s… that’s weird, right?”

Aimi looks up, blinking. “Asking about Tristan? What is he asking?”

“Just like… he says he saw the video I put up on youtube, and he’s asking, like… what was his birthday, and did he like fried chicken, was he autistic, and… did he like musical soundtracks. This is weird stuff to ask a total stranger, right?”

“A little.” Aimi pauses while she watches the pan, and then pours a small bowl with beaten eggs into it, watching them spread and start to lighten to a puffy yellow as it cooked in the already-boiling liquid mixture. “Did you ask why he wants to know?”

“I did, but he just said he’s doing some research or something. But, like… research on what?” Akio taps on the guy’s little profile photo, bringing the profile itself up. “His username is benthebadmagician. Okay that’s-... that’s kind of cute.”

Aimi’s voice turns sly. “Is this Ben cute?”

“Ugh, gross, Mom. That’s not-... I mean he’s kind of-... that’s not important.”

“Ooooh, eyeballin’ the insta-hotties,” Emi singsongs. “Aki’s gettin’ desperate. Just get a freaking dating app like everyone else.”

“Already on it, Emi.”

“Then why exactly don’t you get any dates? Oh, right.” Emi sits forward and grins. “I forgot about your personality.”

Akio throws a throw pillow at her and the big orange poof misses by a mile. Emi laughs, getting to her feet and wandering over to the fridge, pulling a can of soda out and popping the top. “Aren’t you an athlete, how the hell did you miss that?”

“Language,” Aimi warns, waving a spoon at her daughter. She gently places the cutlets into the cooking eggs to finish up. “No swearing under my roof, young lady.”

“Aki swears all the time!”

“Aki is twenty-four years old,” Aimi says, almost primly. “And he doesn’t swear where I can hear him.”

“What, so it doesn’t count if you don’t hear him?”

“Of course it doesn’t, how do I know if I don’t hear him?”

Akio smiles, faintly, but he’s scrolling through the Ben guy’s instagram feed now. Just looking at the grid of squares, photos and videos. Lots of coffees and food, people laughing, photos of a girl with really pretty hair. Photos of Ben the Bad Magician himself. Nerd, Akio thinks, but cute nerd - definitely nose-in-a-book type. Nice brown hair, nice smile.

“Oh look at that face,” Emi says, eyebrows raised. “Ben the Insta-Weirdo actually is cute huh?”

“Go eat slugs.” Akio keeps scrolling down and down, not sure what he’s looking for. Autism awareness banners - he checks those to learn the Ben guy’s got an autistic little brother, and his friend Christopher is autistic. There’s a couple slides, and he swipes his finger to what he assumes is a photo of the Ben guy with the little brother, who looks almost exactly like him, just a whole bunch younger and looking, unsmiling, off to one side while Ben grins at the camera.

Akio doesn’t bother checking the last slide - it’s probably just whoever the Chris guy is. He backs back out to the grid of thumbnails. Maybe he just picked up on the stuff Tris always did when he was excited, and got curious? Maybe his little brother liked the video? Akio’s gotten a couple comments from people saying they liked seeing an autistic kid just be fucking happy in public without getting shit on for it, and that used to be a big deal for Mrs. Higgs, too...

The question about musicals keeps snagging at him. Tris loved musicals, went through cycles with them. He and Akio had a whole routine done to a song in Hairspray, just for fun, when Tris was obsessed with that for a while. And then they were going to do the Time Warp as a routine once...

Akio keeps scrolling, only vaguely aware of his sister and mother talking, and Emi leaving the room to go call their dad in for dinner.

Emi stops in the doorway and turns back. “Don’t forget to get his phone number, Aki. You can definitely trust strangers on the internet creepily interested in your dead best friend, right?”

Akio looks up, then, blinking at her. “Emi, that’s-...”

She seems to catch herself, and gives him a sheepish smile. “Sorry, Aki. That got bitchy.”

“Language,” Aimi reminds her. “But I appreciate you apologizing. Does anyone even hear me say to use nice language any longer?”

“No,” Akio and Emi say in unison, and then Emi disappears down the hallway, bellowing for their father in her loudest voice even though she could easily walk up the stairs and not have to yell at all.

Akio looks at his mother and deadpans, “Your daughter is really weird.”

Aimi matches him tone for tone. “Your sister is weirder.”

She places the cutlets on top of the rice bowls with the egg just underneath the meat, carrying them one by one to the table, setting them each down in their place, and then grabs her glass of wine, patiently waiting for her while she cooked. She pads on bare feet across the hardwood floor over to the pale white rug, soft as down underfoot, and stands next to where Akio is laying down. “Are you looking at the profile?”

“I am, yeah. I don’t know what I’m looking for, really, just… hey, wait.” Akio stops at the thumbnail preview for a video, tapping to open it up. It starts with a blue-haired boy smiling, and his smile hits Akio all odd, makes his throat tighten and his heart start to race. The boy in the video puts up a finger and backs up, glances over his shoulder at a TV screen behind him playing the tango scene from Rent.

Akio blinks as the boy holds out a hand and a girl with really gorgeous long wavy hair takes it, the two of them moving effortlessly into a perfect mimicry of the dance on screen. The room they’re in is mostly empty, furniture shoved to the walls to turn what looks like some kind of lobby into a dancing space.

“Wow, that kid can really dance,” Akio murmurs, but the smile catches him, tugs at the back of his mind. The blue-haired boy can’t keep the grin off his face, it has to hurt to smile so big for so long, and the last person Akio thought that about was…

“You got this, Chris!” Someone calls from offscreen, and for a second Akio hears Tris and catches his breath, but no, no, they said Chris. Someone else claps for Mari - that must be the girl, maybe.

They continue to dance, and Akio can’t tear his eyes away. “Mom? Do you see this?”

Aimi looks up from straightening some magazines on the coffee table and leans over, sipping her wine absently. “See what, honey?”

“Look,” Akio whispers. His throat is closing up, he can’t manage anything more than that.

The two do a spin, and then burst out laughing, and the Chris boy stands back up straight, throwing his arms up like he’s just hit a perfect landing-

“Oh my god,” Aimi says next to him, her own voice strangled and choked, and Akio feels his mother’s hand suddenly clutch onto his shoulder. “Aki, is-”

“He’s dead,” Akio whispers. “He killed himself after his parents-... he’s dead, Mom.”

The Chris boy looks right at whoever was filming the video, shoots them a brilliant, shining smile, and then starts rocking, his hands moving through the air and twisting at the wrists, bouncing up and down on his toes.

Akio’s breath is shuddering in and out, and his heart pounds, trying to break out of his chest. “He’s-... Mom, he’s dead.”

“His aunt had him cremated,” Aimi says, but her lips are barely moving and the wineglass is loos in her fingers. “After they found him. She didn’t want a funeral.”

“He’s dead,” Akio repeats, thinking of the smile, the movements, the shy way he ducks his head at the end when people clap him on the back. He backs up to the wall again, keeps scrolling, looks for more pictures of the blue hair. He opens every single one he can find, searching for something, some sign that will tell him he’s not seeing what he knows he’s seeing. “His aunt took his phone away after like three months and then he was dead a month later, wasn’t he?”

There’s a pause.

“Mom? Mom, didn’t he kill himself like four months after they died? Didn’t he?” Akio’s voice sounds weak and is getting weaker. “Mom, please-... please answer me, didn’t he-”

“He left a note,” Aimi whispers. “His aunt-... she said he left a note, that he couldn’t live without them. It’s-... I never thought-... I never thought to question her, Aki, I never-... she was Ronnie’s family...”

He clicks another video.

“You’re a fucking mess, Christopher,” The girl from the dance video says, sitting in a tank tops and shorts on the edge of a bathtub. “Letting your roots grow out like that. But don’t you worry, Madam Mari is here to help!”

“Please don’t, don’t don’t-don’t call yourself Madam. Please?” A voice says, uneasily, and the blue-haired boy moves into the screen. “For, for, for me?”

“Yeah, no problem, Chris. Why’d you let it grow out so bad, anyway?”

His hair’s not blue in this one - or it is, but only about half of it. Pale and faded, but the top of his hair has grown back in for about three inches, and it’s coppery strawberry blond. He turns to the camera and gives a sheepish smile. “I, I got distracted and for, um, forgot.”

Aimi’s wineglass slips from her fingers, hits the floor, sprays wine like blood across the pristine white rug.

Neither of them notices.

“I… I cried for him for like a year straight,” Akio chokes out, and he finds more pictures, more videos, more more more. He opens them up and then backs out of them again, unable to stop himself. Every photo shows him some shard of the mirror reflection of a dead boy all grown up - a sparkle of green eyes, happy motions in the background of a video, more of that familiar sunny smile. “I kept-... I kept all the stuff he left in my room, I saved all h-his text messages from before he d, disappeared, I-”

“This can’t be him,” Aimi says in a fierce whisper. “It can’t be, Aki, it can’t.”

Akio taps on another video.

The boy ties his long blue hair back in it, glancing sidelong at the camera, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. “And, and, and you’ll, um, you’ll buy the, the, the-the-the nachos?”

“If you can still do it? Yeah, absolutely. Seeing that’s worth a plate of nachos to me. I’ll even buy you those fucking margaritas you like.”

“Chris just likes the sugar,” Someone else says, and Chris sticks his tongue out at them.

He takes a few steps back, rolling his shoulders, shaking out his arms.

Akio tells himself that if the Chris on the screen doesn’t nail this, it can’t be him, it can’t be him at all.

The boy puts his hands up, then down at his sides, back bowed briefly in a motion Akio knows too, too well, knows better than he knows breathing. The boy takes off across the grass without hesitation and-

Akio and Aimi both exhale.

-he jumps forward, dips at the waist, catches himself on his hands and does a perfect set of three backflips across a big grassy lawn, stumbling the landing but his feet pop right back into final position, and he throws his arms up with his chin lifted, and someone offscreen shouts, “Perfect Ten, Stanton!”

The boy laughs, shakes his head, says, “I’d be, be, be dinged for the, um, the landing, but-... but, but good, right? I did good? Laken?”

Someone with the coolest hair Akio has seen steps into the screen and they hug, kiss briefly, and then Chris apparently can’t handle the happy emotions because he backs away to start bouncing up and down, grinning.

He looks back at the camera. “Want to see me, me, me... me do it again?”

“He’s not dead,” Aimi says, and her voice sounds like someone closed their hands around her throat. “Oh, Ronnie-”

“What the fuck happened to Tristan fucking Higgs?” Akio’s voice is barely audible over the sound of the video starting over. “He’s… he’s not dead. He’s not dead, Mom, he’s not-... he’s not dead, Mom, he’s not dead and he’s right-... that the university, right? He’s not dead, and he’s, has he-... has he been here the whole fucking time?”

His mother doesn’t chide him for language this time. Her hand tightens on Akio’s shoulder as red wine soaks the rug beneath her feet and she whispers, “Give that Ben boy your number. Tell him to call you.”

Her fingernails ache where they dig into his skin through his shirt.

“Now.”

TO PREFACE!!!!!!! i understand that not everybody lives somewhere where it is possible to get your music out in person in your local community and that for a lot of people that's just not a reality. HOWEVER. for those that do........ you would have to hold me at gunpoint before i put a song of mine on tiktok im sorry but genuinely i would rather grow my thumbnail as long as a pencil than have a song blow up on tiktok like that kind of fame is NOT worth it at ALL. and you'll always be known as the person who got big on tiktok!!! even if ur stuff is good like when that coffee song w beabadoobee got big and some people thought she was just a ukulele girl when that couldntve been further from the truth. BUT THATS WHAT I MEAN ACTUALLY like at least with bea if you googled her you'd see she had a body of work already out like i believe she'd already released her 2018 ep by the time coffee blew up on tiktok, so at least she already had something backing her (and also the fact she was signed to matty healys label lol) like all those things allowed her to escape the curse of ur song becoming a tiktok audio imo honestly b/c she HAD that prior body of work and experience, but when you're just a kid writing songs for fun it's kind of like... aghhh. like i saw someone make the excellent point that dixie d'amelio is having to go through the awful awkward stage of songwriting where you're just writing absolute shit before getting to your own voice and own sound, she is having to go through that with millions and millions of people watching her and like being 50% of her family's breadwinners and with like hundreds of thousands of dollars being put into producing and advertising these songs.

|Got Me Loosin All My Cool| M|

Pairings: Jungkook X Reader | Jimin X Reader( Smut) FT- Side Tae & Yoongi

Note: Kook is in 80% of this but he’s “new” to the dynamic...so the smut is with Jimin and the OC...not Kookie!

About- Jimin and yourself take Jungkook shopping for a new suit to wear to the “Spectrum” launch party! OH, and Jimin fucks you in the backseat of your truck in the parking garage of the mall…..

OR: You know Kookie still in that “Broke college grad” phase only being with the company barley a month, and you don’t want him to feel self-conscious at the event! You’ve also been too busy to really check in with him to see how he’s adjusting! So, you thought something like this, in a more laxed atmosphere, would be a good solution! Oh and Jimin, honestly he’s just nosey as fuck and inched himself along, like nobody really invited him he invited his damn self! Also Jungook can’t underatand why the fuck your all so damn attractive...like...why!?

Jungkook’s a sweetheart and lowkey confused and whipped for everybody

Tae’s kinda being a spoiled asshole

Yoongi’s over it!

Jimin’s being a brat, he’s not use to having to “Behave” around others, espeically while your wearing “that” dress.....

-Song Reference- COOL- Dua lipa

WC: 6K

WARNINGS: Semi-public sex/Top OC/Power bottom Jimin/ Spit play/ Cum play/ Fingering (F receiving) Cockrings/Lube (yes ppl actually use that IRL )Dirty talk/ biting, finger sucking

FINAL NOTE: This little excerpt is the prequel to the next full-length one-shot “All Eyes On Me” which is Hoseoks official ‘Intro” if you will. The full Summary for that can be found in the Masterlist which is linked below! Also if you’re new here..this is a stand-alone one-shot within my OT7Poly AU called “7 Deep” Short version: Your husband Namjoon and yourself run a successful Adult Film Entertainment Company called “Onyx” with your 5 best friends from college who you also happen to be in an open relationship with!

(Sneak peek)

~~~~~~

ONXY ENTERTAINEMENT 10:45 AM

Jungkook’s happy I guess almost surprisingly so, I mean yeah Yoongi and yourself seemed cool in the interview, and when he did is work interview the vibe was chill. But let’s get real, we all know shit always seems better than it actually is in the interviews!

For one he honestly wasn’t expecting to be given such free reign already which is also why he’s happy as hell he didn’t listen to his roommate’s Mark and Ten and lie on his resume. Granted, everything still had to go through Yoongi first but he wasn’t just... I don’t know editing thumbnails like he thought he was actually doing real work. He’s been here barely a month and he already has reels he can add to his portfolio! Learning new tips and tricks, believe it or not, even through his internships he’s learned that some people are stingy when it comes to sharing knowledge. Yoongi however was far from that, thankfully he was well aware that just because you teach someone your “secrets” doesn’t mean you’re essentially replacing yourself! What makes you good at your job isn’t just how it’s done its how you do it!

If only Kookie could stop internally fangirling over Yoongi his life would be a little easier! He’d seen hundreds of your companies films before and being the production major he is..of course, he’d watch it the first time to jack off..then the second time he’d find himself just as if not even more turned on for the production quality. That’s something Onyx is always praised for..”Aesthetically pleasing porn”. Every morning, Yoongi would sit him down and show him something new and for the first time he finally understands what people mean when they say that someones mind is..attractive! Not Yoongi himself though, because that’s his boss and that would be weird but like his brain, ya know? Yoongi’s brian is sexy in a broboss way...I don’t know just go with it!

Anyway, Kook’s current project was actually one of his favorites so far because it was forcing him to actually challenge himself! This was something actually requested by Hoseok, who he learned was 26, the head of marketing, always bouncing around like he’s had 6 expresso shots and somehow manages to make streetwear look professional…. But anyway the task is creating trailers for films that are pc enough to not be blocked on platforms like IG but spicy enough to get ppl to wanna watch the full thing. Making a climax without the actual climax if you know what I mean. So he’d have to sit there and watch the films, try not to get hard and wanna jack off while watching said films...then take notes and screencaps of the best moments and compile them together without showing “too much”. He’s never been so thankful that he could wear sweatpants to work….because…..yeah it was hard..literally and figuratively hard...but like I said he’s happy and can pay his bills so that’s cool too!

Don’t get me wrong he still feels a little out of place at times and surprisingly enough not for the reason he expected! Two months shy of his 21st bday he assumed he’d feel a type of way because he’s the youngest but that’s not the case! Hell, they went to Nobu for lunch last week and Jin actually slid him his drunk so he wasn’t the only one not drinking! Flashing him a cheeky little wink and whispering “Don’t tell mom” in reference to you once Kook looked back at him like a deer in headlights! It seems as though they care more about his talent than his age which is the way it should be because he knows he’s good at what he dose!

However, Onyx is kinda like those offices you see on TV, the kind he never thought where real, behind closed doors the environment is far from pc! It’s not a normal morning unless somebodies cursing out there computers! This morning he swore Taehyung told Jimin he had a shrimp dick…… There’s “that’s what she said” jokes being thrown out left and right, people cracking jokes on one another. And it’s not that he feels uncomfortable by any means again he’s a 20 y/o kid from LA it’s just ...he’s new...ya know? So he doesn’t know if he’s “allowed” to do that! So in the meantime, he just spends his days laughing until his chest hurts!

But besides that everybody’s chill , he’s still trying to learn people, regardless of how laxed the office is everybody’s busy as all hell especially Namjoon and yourself! The two of you are actually his biggest mystery, he’s never thought of marriage being something that he’d want. He’s always heard that people change, and shit gets boring, but even in a work environment that’s far from the vibe he gets from the two of you! You actually make marriage seem exciting, worth it, like a gift, not a task…..

Something else that he can’t truly wrap his head around is that your his boss, like legitimately his boss! Somebody that looks like you,I mean fuck your not even 30, you sway around the office in your little dresses and designer heels! Always dolled up hell sometimes he questions if he’s the one in some upscale porno! Actually, not just you all of you why the fuck are all of you so effortlessly attractive and put together?! To make it even worse you all know your shit too! Two days ago for example Kook went to Yoongi to ask if there was a certain way he wanted the ending credits to come into frame, and instead of Yoongi responding you did! Using terminology that had him ready to run home and pull out his “Intro to production” text box! Shit don’t make any Goodman sense...even Yoongi sitting in his office looking like he could be in one of the films he’s editing and no, god no why is he thinking this about his higher-ups?! No, no, nope try again Jeon!

However, now that we’re on this topic, there is one person that he can’t quite wrap his head around...I mean yeah he’s nice but he just seems more reserved around Jungkook than everyone else. Which is odd considering he’s the one Kook meet first, he’s actually the one that encouraged him to even submit his resume, to begin with! What makes it even odder is Yoongi and yourself actually told him that Tae was the most outgoing...it’s not that Jungkook nessercally thinks Tae dislikes him it’s just ...I don’t know, I don’t know…I guess he was just...warmer when the two of them met at Starbucks then he is now that they actually work together!

...And I guess that’s why he almost shit himself when his phone rang and the incoming name rang though as….”Taehyung Kim”...he kinda hoped he pocket dialed him and would just hand up! But wait, I guess you can’t really do that from a landline can you?? Fuckkkkkk

“I know technologies come a long way Kook, but phones don’t answer themselves ya know…” Eyes fluttering over to see Yoongi smirking at him, tone blatantly amused as he flipped through a file he had in his hands.It’s like he could sense how nervous he is too “Don’t worry about Tae, he’s more bark than he is bite, he’s literally a puppy dressed in Gucci…” Flicking his chin in the direction of the phone with a reassuring smile.

With a timid nod and shaky fingers Jungkook picks up the call on the final ring “H-hello??”

“Jungkook? Can you come to my office in the next 5 or so minutes?” His tone wasn’t rude by any means but it also wasn’t the most inviting. Eyes fluttering overly timidly in Yoongis direction because he knew Tae was loud enough that the elder could hear and he smiled fondly, nodding in approval. Arms crossed firm against his chest, head cocked to the side, eyes squinting slightly from under his black baseball cap, as if he was now purposely trying to hear the conversation.

“Umm, yeah, yeah of course…” God, why does he sound like he’s still going through puberty right now!? Voice fluttering ina and out of an octave!

“Great!”

Tae just hangs up, no goodbye ...promoting Yoongi to roll his eyes, with an exasperated sigh...Jungkook just sits there for a moment, not too sure what to do!

“You’re free to go, Seok dosen’t need these until Friday and your deifiently far enough along, a little time away from your desk wont hurt! Oh, just save your stuff first though! The systems moving slow as fuck and I’m about ready to break my damn computer so I’ll probably do a system reboot while you’re gone!”

Jungkook nods timidly, swallowing so hard he’s sure Yoongi heard it, fingers scattering to do as Yoongis instructed, he literally feels like he’s going to throw up! Why does Tae make him so nervous? I mean no offense but Tae isn’t even his boss why is he more freaked out of Taehyung than is actual boss!

He hears a heavy sigh fall from behind him, as Yoongi invites himself to take a seat, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder ‘First off, you’re doing fucking great, and I mean that, so step back...and breath...” Squeezing his shoulder slightly, tone calm yet stable enough to ground the younger!

“Second, I’m ordering lunch from that coney up the street, Hyungs treat” He watches Jungkook go to open his mouth in protest and Yoongi just groans, loud and obnoxious, eyes fluttering to the back of his head more times than he can count!

“Don’t even try and give me that “Your not hungry bullshit” Eyes narrowing in the youngers direction challangingly “So let’s try this again, what do you want? And yes Tae can wait I already texted him and told him so you’re fine! Now go to google and pull up Leo’s menu and lets order lu-”

“Yonngggggiiiii!!!’ Whines through the studio, which only promps the man in question to slowly sink into his chair as if he was trying to make himself dissapear! And before Jungkook can even make heads or tails as to what’s happening...a pair of skin-tight leather pants, a florial silk shirt, that was sitting so low it mideswell not even be buttoned, flashy shades and windswept pastel pink hair comes strutting in... Looking like something straight out of Vouge so again he asks why the fuck does everybody look like this!?

Not even botherng to ask if he’s interupted anything, just flinging his arms around the production manager’s neck, propping his chin on top of his head,

“I need like...20 headshots edited...in the next half hour” Jungkook watched Yoongi go completely ridgit a scowl on his face as he tried to pull away but the casting manager only held on tigher “...and before you kill me even though I drunk some of it this Amerciano is for you soooo, I feel like I’ve made it worth or while, please and thank you! ” Smiling so big his eyes dispered into his face it took everything in him not to coo and swoon all at the same damn time!

Stargirl 1.10 “Brainwave Jr.” is out now on DCU and I’m here to talk about it.

If you’ll remember from last week, we ended on the cliffhanger of Barbara walking in on Pat, Courtney, & the Staff, and now she’s going to have to learn the whole thing. From Promo it looks like a lot of drama is surrounding that, which is awesome. We can also see Courtney & Henry together in the thumbnail for today, which is probably going to be them having a bit of a spat with the rest of the JSA. I personally love drama episodes, and we know a lot more is happening than just drama, so I’m really excited to see what they have in store for us tonight.

The opening crawl is set to Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, which makes this the second time the song has shown up in the DCU shows (now here, and Hank & Dawn sang it back in Titans season 2). I wonder if someone in charge has a thing for the song or what. But following that up, we get to see Pat & Barbara meet! How cute!! We got the story back in episode 1 but now we get to actually see it. They both get a banana split but there’s only banana so they share it, that’s so fucking cute. The one het coupe I support. And then move into them telling Barbara and Courtney is out here like “oh that’s a broom” like seriously? Really Court? I love how Barbara is taking no shit during this conversation. Barbara “get outta here with that Starman is your dad bullshit” Whitmore, iconic. OH SHIT AND BARBARA FUCKING KICKS PAT OUT OMG! I am living for this omfg.

And now we cut to the King’s and it seems Henry Sr has lost 10ish years of his memory, wild. I’m interested to see what this will do to Henry Sr in the future, and if his forgetting all the current ISA shit will have anything to do with Henry Jr’s character. Also, is it just me, or does it sound like Icicle killed his wife. How many loved ones of allies has Jordan killed? About two scenes later, Henry Sr mentions Jordan by name in his dreams, which really feels like conformation that Jordan did it to me. Then Jordan fucking shows up at the hospital like a bitch! What the hell man, just go die already. And now we see that there’s well over 3,300 of those VHS tapes Henry Sr was making, how obnoxious was that to move? “Merri the girl of 1,000 gimmicks,” was Henry’s mom a superhero??? MERRI’S BROTHER WAS STARMAN!?!? EXCUSE ME?!?!?!?! Hold on, I need a minute. Well, I’d say this is Henry’s motivation to try and work with the JSA.

This little scene with Pat & Mike is really sad. Mike is such a good kid, I love him.

The Staff comes to see Courtney in her room, how cute. And then fucking dips off to the Garage by itself, and is clearly holding a grudge against Jordan, that’s awesome. The Staff is such a fun character. And then it comes to the hospital to fight Jordan & Henry Sr by itself! ICONIC!! Oop, now it’s frozen. Fuck. Anyway, the more Jordan talks, the more he sounds like a crazy Colonizer. And is Henry Jr only cowering from Jordan, or is he also cowering from his dad?

The drama with the Whitmore family continues, Barb wants to move them both out of Blue Valley. And here comes Henry to fill in Courtney on the drama, and showcasing a new ability in the process. And thus kick-starting Henry’s involvement in the JSA and the team’s first real mission, only 10 episodes in!

OMFG shit must be serious, Barbara emailed Sam (who comic fans know is a real piece of shit). And then later, when Jordan and his parents show up, and Barbara records what they say in Norwegian? Amazing. It seems she’s at least going to give Pat & Court the benefit of the doubt after seemingly doing some research on Starman. And further on, Sam has actually emailed her back! Are we gonna meet Sam Kurtis??

I don’t wanna talk to much about this lunch scene because there’s a lot of opinions. Yo & Rick are totally valid in their thoughts and feelings, but also, like, there’s bigger shit to worry about kids.

But which tunnel entrance do we think the kids used? At the school? Do they just keep their uniforms in their lockers?? And it’s Grundy! Soloman Grundy!! OMFG!!! Rick, sweetie, maybe don’t go yelling at the fucking zombie in the secret tunnels under the town? Dragon King is here doing some real weird looking shit to Brainwave. And the Starsquad + Henry Jr is gonna fight all these creepy zombie slaves of DK’s, and once again proving how Court & Yolanda are the most prepared for a fight, they’re th eonly ones we know have some kind of martial arts training. RICK WHY ARE LETTING OUT SOLOMAN GRUNDY?!?! Fucking idiot boy. But man do I love watching Courtney & Yolanda kick ass. Especially followed by the older villains once again proving how big a deal experience is. Oh fuck DK’s face is disgusting. It’s real gross. I do appreciate Henry Jr fighting back against Henry Sr. He, at least, is not cool with the whole supervillain killer thing, which is good. I am once again talking about how cool the CG is for Court’s staff. And Henry Jr is straight up going to sacrifice himself for the Starsquad??? Maybe we don’t hate him. If they can handle his redemption properly, I may be able to support it in the future. As long as this isn’t all of the redemption arc.

WAIT HENRY SR KILLED HIS WIFE?!?! EXCUSE ME?!?!?! And now he’s threatening to kill his own son, real supervillain material. I’m glad Henry Jr is making the right choice though. And to see all of the Starsquad fighting so hard to help him, and Henry really apologizing for what he did to Yolanda. I’m glad it wasn’t a last minute “i love you” because that would be so unearned.

HI DCU STOP KILLING FUCKING KIDS!! I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO SAY THAT!!! AND THAT’S HOW IT ENDS!?!?!? FUCK THAT!!! Okay, but I’m still super in the Joey Lives camp, and we know that Henry Jr is at least decently important in comics, so maybe we’ll get them both back? Idk. I’m a little undecided on whether I want Henry to have survived because this really doesn’t feel like the end of his arc, but more the start. So I want to see that really get addressed. But at the same time, I want death to have consequences (unless it’s one of my loves, obviously, I’m fine with being a hypocrite for that).

I have so many thoughts, I’m really not sure where exactly to begin (beyond what I’ve already been saying), but that’s all things we can address later. That’s it for this weeks episode, for now, which means that I’ll see you next Sunday for Stargirl 1.11 “Shining Knight” it’s a fucking Shining Knight episode guys, that’s awesome! Honestly this show just ups the bar every episode, it’s probably the best DC show around currently period. It’s amazing.

Broken Promises (3)

WORD COUNT: 6717 WARNINGS: THIS IS AN AU; angst, referenced past infidelity, separation, confrontation, explicit sexual content AUTHOR’S NOTE: This part’s title is taken from the Billy Joel song. You can give it a listen HERE.

MASTERLIST

You paced the living room, thumbnail in your mouth. Wanda and Nat shared a glance behind you, until Nat cleared her throat.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

You closed your eyes for a moment, continuing your pacing.

“I’m sure I’m going to lose my shit if you ask me that one more time.”

Nat held her hands up, turning to look at Wanda, who shrugged her shoulders. You stopped pacing at the glow of headlights coming through the front windows and you turned to your sister.

“Just get the girls out of here as fast as you can, okay?” “Don’t worry about them, Y/N.”

You nodded to Wanda, swallowing as you turned to the door, a smile coming over your face when it opened.

“Mommy, you’re a-posed to keep the door locked.” “Well, I knew you were coming.”

You knelt down and closed your eyes as Phoebe ran to you, and you held her for a moment before Allie walked in. You hugged her next, as Bucky walked in, a confused look on his face.

“Hey, were you serious about—” “Don’t drop your bags!”

Allie and Phoebe gasped excitedly, squealing as Nat and Wanda walked out of the kitchen. They ran to them, squealing and chattering until Nat gave an ear-piercing whistle that made even Bucky wince.

“Keep your backpacks on and get your little butts into Auntie Wanda’s Bug. We are having a slumber party with your favorite aunties and no, Mama, I don’t even want to hear it. We are skipping school tomorrow.”

You couldn’t help but smile as Allie and Phoebe cheered, waving goodbye as they did the same to you, blowing you kisses as they hurried out the back door with Nat and Wanda. You looked back to Bucky and he shook his head.

“What’s going on?”

You shook your head, walking to him and putting your face in his chest. He easily wrapped his arms around you, resting his head atop yours. You let out a sigh, turning your head to rest your ear over his heart.

“I’m going to need you to stay close.” “Of course. What’s going on?”

You shook your head, tensing up when there was a knock at the door. You shook your head again and Bucky gave you one last squeeze, pulling away from you and turning to answer the door. You turned your back, lifting a hand to cover your mouth, spine straightening at the sound of the voice.

“Hey, I came over as fast as I could. What’s going on?”

You heard Bucky close the door and you turned around, feeling your breathing speed up as your vision went red. You lunged forward, slamming your hands against Tony’s chest, making him stagger backwards.

“Whoa!”

He stepped forward the same time you did, and you hit his chest as hard as you could, over and over again.

“What the—ow! What the fuck, Y/N?!” “You son of a bitch!”

Bucky stood back, eyes wide as he watched you continue to hit Tony. He snorted, trying to keep his laughter at bay while Tony tried to grab your quick hands.

“Stop hitting—stop it!” “You lied to me, you bastard!” “About wha—ow, Y/N—damn it, stop!”

Tony finally got a good grip on your wrists, jumping back when you tried to kick him. Bucky snorted at that, laughing at the glare Tony shot him just before your foot made contact with his knee and Tony sank to the floor. Bucky grimaced, then walked over, picking you up from behind and lifting you off the ground, rolling his eyes when you continued kicking.

“Relax, doll. It’s me.”

You did, chest heaving with the physical exertion you’d just put yourself through. Tony looked up at you, dark eyes narrowing as he got to his feet.

“Not saying I didn’t deserve that … but what brought it on?” “You’re a lying son of a bitch.”

Tony sighed, meeting your eyes as Bucky set you on the ground.

“What do you mean?” “I mean I met your little whore in the goddamn grocery store, Tony.”

He seemed to freeze, breath catching in his throat. Bucky straightened as he watched him, brows furrowing. You shook your head, pushing a hand through your hair as you picked back up on your pacing.

“She stopped me in the fucking spice aisle. Said that you were going to introduce us, but ‘things happen.’ ‘Things happen?’ Are you fucking kidding me, Tony?”

He didn’t answer, but you didn’t pay him any mind. Bucky’s eyebrow raised as he watched all the color bleed from Tony’s face, as he reached out a shaking hand and pressed it against the wall. You continued pacing, shaking your head and rambling.

“She said she couldn’t wait to meet the kids. My children, Tony. I swear to you and God and whoever else is listening, it will be a cold day in hell before that slut gets anywhere near my daughters. She will meet them over my dead body.” “Y/N.”

You turned to Bucky, stopping when you noticed the look on his face.

“What?”

Bucky nodded towards Tony, and you watched his hand shake as he felt for the couch, sitting on the edge of an arm and lifting a hand to rub at his chest.

“Tony?”

He lifted his head, pressing his hand to the center of his chest before he blinked and his eyes met yours.

“Who was she?”

You blinked.

“What? Are you fucking kidding me?” “No.”

You blew out a breath, looking over to Bucky as you pushed a hand through your hair. You shook your head.

“I don’t know who she was. I’ve never seen her before. She was … pretty. Blonde. Thin.”

You pressed your lips together, crossing your arms over your chest. Tony stood up, reaching out for you, but you shook your head and stepped away from him. Bucky laid a hand on your shoulder and you stepped away from him too, shaking your head again and walking to the window.

“She was beautiful and young. Exactly who I pictured if I ever thought about…”

Tony closed his eyes, swallowing hard before shaking his head.

“Baby, you—” “Don’t.”

Tony stopped at the ice in your voice. He gave a nod, running a hand over his mouth. He gave a harsh exhale, then shook his head, looking up to Bucky.

“I don’t know who she is.”

You gave a laugh from your spot at the window, and the men turned to look at you. You shook your head as you spoke, not turning to face them.

“Don’t lie to me. Don’t make me feel more stupid than I already do.” “I swear I’m not.” “I wish I believed you.”

Tony stared down at his hands, while Bucky slowly moved backwards until he was leaning against the wall. You rubbed your hands up and down your arms, trying to ward off the cold feeling that was trying to settle into your bones. Tony’s voice was soft when he spoke again.

“What can I do to prove it to you?” “I honestly don’t have a clue. I can’t … I can’t even look at you right now.” “I get that. I don’t want to look at myself.”

You turned around at that, seeing him staring down at his hands. Tony had always had problems with the way he saw himself. He played it off well, but you knew the level of self-loathing he could delve into. You wanted to go to him, to run your fingers through his hair and help him relax, but you couldn’t. You turned back to the window and let out a breath.

“This was a mistake. You should go.”

Tony lifted his head, looking at your back, then shaking his head. He stood to his feet, hanging his head, glancing at Bucky, who lifted a thumb to rub his bottom lip. Tony sighed, turning to you, and you glanced over your shoulder, meeting his eyes. You shook your head, rushing for him, pushing his chest again.

“How could you? Why wasn’t I enough for you?”

He grabbed your hands, yanking you closer to him, until all you could do was stare into his eyes. Bucky, who had taken a step closer when you started fighting again, now took a step back, realizing the two of you had pretty much forgotten about him. Tony’s voice was low, a half-step above a growl as he ground the words from clenched teeth.

“Eleven years ago, I stood before God and the entire fucking world and swore that I’d love you and only you forever. I swore that I would, if not for the fact that it was true, then just to spite Howard.”

You blinked, unable to take your eyes from Tony’s face. Howard had never been one to mince words, and he’d often told anyone who would listen that it would never last between you and Tony. He thought you were a gold digger, and you were convinced he was going to have a heart attack when Tony told him the two of you would not be signing a pre-nup. In fact, it wasn’t until Allie was born that his heart finally softened towards you.

You continued to stare at Tony, his dark eyes on fire, but his touch on you gentle. Tony dropped your hands, moving his own to cup your face. You gave a shaky sigh as his thumbs traced your jawline, and his voice went lower, barely even a whisper.

“I vowed to love you, only you, until my last breath. You have to know that I would never voluntarily do something like this.”

You closed your eyes as Tony stepped closer to you, your forehead nearly brushing his chest as he spoke again.

“I don’t have any concrete proof yet, but … I just don’t think I did it.”

You shook your head as you lifted it again, eyes opening as you looked up at him.

“I need you to do better than just thinking.” “I’m trying, babe.”

Tony shook his head, moving one hand from your neck to your cheek.

“You have always been enough for me. How I ever made you feel that you weren’t … I’ll never forgive myself for that.”

Tears came to your eyes as you looked up at him and saw the storm raging in his dark eyes. You gave the slightest shake of your head, your voice barely audible.

“What are you saying? Be honest with me.” “I think she drugged me and staged the whole thing.”

You blinked as Tony dropped his hands from your face, and before you even realized what you were doing, you reached out and grabbed his arms. He turned to you, staying as close to you as you’d let him, and you blinked widely when Bucky stepped forward, into your line of sight.

“What did she look like? Give me every possible detail you can.”

You swallowed, glancing just over Tony’s shoulder at the wall as you spoke.

“Blonde hair to her shoulders. Dark eyes. She was thin, and she had dimples in her cheeks when she smiled. No obvious tattoos or anything. Just … pretty.”

You let go of Tony, lifting a hand to cover your mouth as you stepped away, walking to the chair and gripping the back of it. Bucky turned to Tony.

“That night, or … morning. Whatever. The woman you think drugged you. What did she look like?” “Exactly what Y/N’s describing. Blonde. Thin. Dimples in her cheeks.” “Pretty.”

Tony closed his eyes and turned to you. You glanced over your shoulder, lifting it before letting it fall. Tony shook his head, walking over until he was standing in front of you. You tried to move away from him, but he blocked you, until your back was against the wall and you were staring up at him. He shook his head again, tears in his eyes, voice husky and rough.

“I know what’s in my past, what you must think of me, especially now. You … Y/N, you are the only woman I have ever loved. Ever. You’re the only one who gets me, and I … I couldn’t be that stupid to throw that away. You are the only woman I see.” “Don’t. Don’t tell me—” “I have to!”

He grabbed your hands, bringing them to his chest, laying your palms over his heart.

“You changed my life when you took a chance on me, and I swore to myself the first night you spent with me that I’d spend the rest of my life making yours worthwhile. If I could show you even half of what you made me feel, I’d count it as some success. I love you, I worship you, and I would never throw our life away for another woman. There is no other woman. Just you.”

You shook your head, tears slipping down your cheeks. Tony’s shoulders heaved with the breaths he couldn’t hide and you sobbed as you reached out and looped your arms around his neck, pulling him in until you could kiss him. He pressed his hands against the wall on either side of your head, the two of you breaking apart when Bucky cleared his throat. Tony leaned his forehead onto yours as Bucky spoke.

“I’d like to get both of you to meet with a sketch artist tomorrow. See if we can’t get the ball rolling on some kind of investigation.”

You and Tony both nodded, and Bucky rolled his eyes before tossing his thumb towards the kitchen.

“I can see myself out.”

When you heard the back door open and shut, you moved out from inside Tony’s arms, rubbing your hands up and down your own. You watched him go to the front door and lock it, slipping his hands in his pockets as he turned to face you. You shook your head.

“I don’t … know what’s going on here.” “Well, that makes two of us.”

You couldn’t help the smile. Tony lifted a hand to rub at the back of his head and you crossed your arms over your chest.

“Talk to me.”

He lifted his head, meeting your eyes.

“Maybe Buck can bring the sketch artist to the penthouse, and while we do … whatever, Bucky and Jarvis can talk.” “Jarvis?”

Tony slowly nodded, and you shook your head.

“What does Jarvis have to do with any of this?” “He’s … collecting data.” “Data?” “Evidence.” “Evidence on what?” “He has a running theory that someone’s trying to set me up.”

You blinked, and Tony nodded, exhaling harshly. You looked away, and after a moment, you looked back to him.

“Who would want to set you up?” “How much time do you have?”

You closed your eyes and smiled, letting it slip from your face as you met his eyes again. You took a step closer to him, keeping your arms crossed over your chest.

“Do you think someone’s trying to set you up?” “I do.” “Why?” “Money is my first guess. Revenge is also on the list. Pick a topic.”

You shook your head, suddenly feeling cold.

“Are we in danger?” “No.” “How can you be sure?” “I’m sure.” “Tony.” “You and the girls are my top priority. I made sure you were safe before I even told you anything about that night.”

You felt your heart thump in your chest and he shook his head.

“I’m not sorry, and I’m not loosening the reins there. Hard limit.”

You lifted a hand to cover your mouth, turning away from him. He gently touched your shoulder and you looked back at him, seeing him raise his hands as he stepped away from you.

“I just … I haven’t gotten to look at you for a while. Don’t … don’t turn your back on me, please.”

Tears filled your eyes and you lifted a hand to press against them to try to keep the tears at bay. You reached out your other hand and he took it, holding your hand between both of his. You shook your head and stepped forward, letting your hand fall but keeping your eyes closed as you let your forehead rest against Tony’s chest. He gave the hand he was holding a squeeze, using his other hand to slip through your hair.

“You have to know that I would never go looking for someone else. I have everything I need in you. I know how this looks and I know what you’re feeling, but Y/N, I swear—” “She was so pretty, Tony.” “You’re pretty. I don’t need a young blonde. I can barely keep up with our daughters.”

You gave a laugh in spite of the tears that were still threatening. You lifted your head to meet his eyes and you gave a shaky exhale.

“I miss you.” “I miss you. I’ve been miserable, not being able to see you and the girls every day. Well …”

You raised an eyebrow and Tony sighed.

“I may have gotten Jarvis to hack the school’s security cameras.” “Where the hell did Jarvis come from?!”

Tony gave a laugh, lifting a hand to lift the necklace you were wearing, one Allie helped him pick out for you just before Phoebe was born. After a moment, you spoke again.

“Did Jarvis hack the security cams here?”

After a beat, Tony nodded.

“I couldn’t not make sure my girls were safe.”

You closed your eyes at the sudden onslaught of tears, biting back the sob you wanted to give. Tony moved his hand to cup your face and you leaned into the touch, blinking your eyes open and staring into his.

“I’m not okay, Tony.” “I know.”

You took in a breath and he gave you a sad smile.

“I knew it the moment I saw you.”

Your face fell as the tears started, and you let the sob free as Tony took you into his arms, holding you tightly.

“I’m here now. I’m here, baby.”

You shook your head, linking your arms around him, digging your fingers into his back.

“Don’t leave me again. Please.”

Tony squeezed you, moving back just enough for your lips to meet. You walked with him, neither of you moving from the kiss until he lowered you onto the couch. You stared up at him as he licked his lips and brought his eyes to yours.

“Where’re the girls?” “Nat and Wanda.”

Tony nodded, reaching behind his head and tugging his shirt off, groaning when your hands came to rest against his chest. He closed his eyes, then looked down at you, his dark eyes almost black as he closed the distance between you and kissed you again. You gasped as his hand slipped under your shirt, giving him opportunity to move his lips to your neck before he helped you to sit up, tugging your shirt off. You wrapped your arms around his neck as Tony went still, moving his hands to rest against your back, both of you just holding each other as you slowly kissed him, words neither of you could say being exchanged through the gentle kisses.

I’ve missed you. Forgive me. I love you. I love you.

Tony’s hands slid down your sides until his fingertips dipped beneath your leggings. Your head fell back as he kissed your neck, your jaw, back to your lips.

“Lie back.”

You did as he asked, biting your lip as he tugged the leggings off, dropping them off the side of the couch. His hands went for your panties and your own shot down, grabbing his and speaking softly.

“Tony, I haven’t—” “I honestly could not care less. Let me.”

You closed your eyes and laid back, lifting your hips to help him slide your underwear down and off, moving one foot to rest against his shoulder, gasping when his mouth was on you. His tongue, his lips, the gentlest nips of his teeth made you gasp his name, reaching down to tug at his hair, the guttural groan Tony gave not even registering with you. Your body jolted until Tony’s hands clamped down on your hips, holding you still, and your mouth opened in a silent scream as your body was overtaken by the waves of almost painful pleasure.

You felt yourself collapse onto the couch, feeling like every muscle in your body had suddenly deflated. You soaked in the feel of your racing heart, blinking sleepy eyes open to see Tony’s smug, smiling face above you. You smiled and closed your eyes as Tony bent his head and kissed you, speaking softly as his lips made their way around your face.

“I’m not finished with you yet.” “Good.” “But I’m not doing it on the couch.”

You laughed and nodded in agreement, humming contentedly as Tony lifted you into his arms. You looped your arms around his neck and rested your head against his shoulder as he carried you up the stairs.

You had your head on Tony’s chest, both of you finally breathing somewhat normally, hearts finally calmed down and no longer racing.

“I love you.”

You tightened the arm you had around him as Tony spoke again.

“I love you. There’s so much I want to say, but—” “I know.”

You lifted your head to meet his eyes and smiled.

“I still don’t understand what’s going on, but …” “Neither do I. We’re trying to figure it out. Jarvis has a lot going on right now.”

He sighed, patting your shoulder as he sat up, and you sat up as well. He took your hand, shaking his head before meeting your eyes.

“Don’t give up on me. Please. I know I have to prove myself to you again, and I’m going to do everything I can, but I can’t do this without you. Not anymore.”

You reached over and laid a hand against his cheek, and he closed his eyes as he leaned into your touch. He gave a shaky breath and you murmured to him as the two of you laid back down. You moved his head to rest against your chest and he wrapped his arms around you. You trailed your fingers through his hair as you spoke softly.

“I’m sorry. I just … I couldn’t think. I couldn’t see anything but what was in front of me.” “I don’t blame you for that.” “I wanted to hurt you as badly as you’d hurt me.” “I know.”

You sighed, pulling him closer and settling into the bed.

“Now, though … god, I’ve missed you. I know we’ve got a lot to work through, but …”

You kissed the top of his head and Tony moved to look up at you. He moved to kiss you again, taking hold of your hips as he switched your positions, him lying back on the pillows as your hair fell as a curtain to hide the two of you.

“How long are Nat and Wanda keeping the girls?”

You shrugged your shoulders. You bent to look through the almost bare second shelf of the refrigerator, lifting one foot to rub against your other ankle.

“They’ll probably be ready to give them back by tomorrow afternoon.” “Yeah?” “Yeah, we’re letting them skip school tomorrow. I wasn’t exactly thinking straight.”

Tony chuckled, tilting his head as he watched you. He’d tugged on a pair of boxers and you’d grabbed a shirt from his closet, one of the flannel button-ups he’d forgotten to pack when he left. He swallowed at the thought of that, then shook his head. You moved your foot again, absently running it up and down your calf before your shut the fridge and turned back to face him.

“We don’t have anything to eat.”

Tony lifted an eyebrow and you sighed.

“I left my groceries at the store.”

Tony winced, then propped his chin on his hand.

“Want to order something?” “Like what?”

Tony bounced his eyebrows.

“Mr. Foo’s? Tiny spicy chicken with the hot mustard sauce?” “And the cream cheese wontons?”

Tony smiled at your wide eyes and scoffed.

“What am I, an animal? Of course the wontons.”

You laughed, walking to him and laying your hands against his bare shoulders. He pushed the chair back from the bar and you moved between his legs, pushing his hair back from his face.

“You need a haircut.” “Make it happen.”

You laughed, shaking your head.

“I’ll call and get you an appointment.” “Want to come with me? I’ll get that chick to do the massage thing you liked so much.”

You laughed again, shaking your head.

“Tony, that was a pregnancy massage.”

He went still, eyebrows furrowing.

“Seriously?”

You nodded and he moved a hand to rest against your hip.

“It’s been that long?”

You shrugged your shoulders.

“We’ve been busy.” “Five years’ worth?”

You sighed, pushing a hand through your hair. Tony grabbed your hand and pulled it to his chest, and you looked down, eyebrows coming together as you pulled your hand from his, taking both of his hands and staring at them.

“Where’s your ring?”

Tony looked down at his hands, swallowing as he spoke softly.

“I don’t know.” “What do you mean you don’t know?” “It was gone when I …”

You swallowed, closing your eyes.

“When you woke up in her room?”

Tony nodded, keeping his eyes down instead of looking at you. You blinked your eyes open and saw him staring down, and you shook your head. You dropped his hands and moved in closer, taking him into your arms. He buried his face in your neck and you blinked back tears, widening your eyes when you realized what Tony was whispering.

He was apologizing, over and over again, and you shook your head as you pulled back and took his face in your hands. Tony shook his head, his wet eyes finally meeting your own. You gave a shaky breath, shaking your head.

“Tony.” “I’m so sorry you’re in this. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I’d give anything to keep you from getting hurt.” “What about you?”

Tony shook his head, and you let your hands drop from his face.

“Tony.” “Forget about me.”

You gave a quiet laugh.

“I can’t. Trust me; I’ve tried.”

He met your eyes and you shook your head.

“I’m so sorry this is happening to you.” “Don’t—” “No, someone has to look out for you since you won’t do it yourself.”

Tony stepped back from you, a disgusted look on his face as he shook his head.

“Fuck me, Y/N. I don’t give a shit about me.” “Well, I do!”

You shook your head, waiting until he met your eyes again before you spoke.

“I’m so sorry this is happening to you. You don’t deserve this. I’m sorry we don’t know what’s going on and that you’re hurting. I’m so sorry that I’m the one who hurt you the most, and—”

Tony shook his head as he walked back to you, taking your hands.

“Don’t blame yourself for this.” “If I hadn’t—” “You never would have, if it hadn’t been for me and—” “God!”

You yanked your hands from his grasp and launched yourself at him, taking hold of his face and bringing it closer until your lips were on his. He groaned as his hands went to your hips, fingers digging into your flesh before he lifted you onto the counter. You gasped as his hands took hold of your shirt—his shirt—ripping it open, buttons flying to the floor. Your head fell back and hit the cabinet as his mouth went to your breast, the stubble on his face scratching your delicate skin.

“Oh, god.”

Your voice was barely a whisper, and Tony lifted his head, taking hold of one of your hands, lifting it beside your head, holding it against the cabinet. You whimpered when his mouth met yours again, gentler this time, and you lifted a hand to cup his face. You slid off the counter, kissing him again as your feet touched the floor, and you turned around, leaning over and resting your forearms on the counter while Tony gave a strangled groan behind you. Tony pressed a kiss to the back of your shoulder, both of you gasping and moaning as he entered you.

As cliché as it sounds, your knees went weak, so much so that you might have fallen, had Tony not slid an arm under you, holding you steady. His lips danced over your shoulders as his hips thrust against yours, and you moaned as warmth began filling your veins. You lifted a shaky hand to push it through his hair, gripping tightly when he hit that spot, holding his head to your neck as he licked and sucked and gently bit down.

“Tony.” “I know, babe. I’ve got you.” “Tony.” “I’m right here.”

He kissed every bit of you that he could reach, moving his hands to link his fingers with yours. You shook your head as he murmured nonsense into your ear, and you felt your heartbeat kick up as muscle in your body seemed to tighten at once.

“That’s it. Come on, baby.”

Your mouth opened in a silent scream as it felt like your blood had turned to lightning in your veins. You felt your body jolt once, twice, then begin to shake as you held as tightly as you could to Tony’s hands. Your ears filled with staticky white noise, until Tony’s broken groan of your name rang through as his hips stuttered and pressed against yours.

You turned to lay your head against the cool countertop and Tony wrapped his arms around you, kissing your cheek and resting his head against yours. You gave a soft moan when he slipped free, and he gently turned you to face him, smiling when you buried your head in his chest. He wrapped his arms around you, sighing and resting his head atop yours. After a few moments, you lifted your head to look into his eyes and he smiled.

“Hey, you.”

You moved a hand to his cheek, pulling his face to yours and kissing him. He moved to rest his forehead against yours, both of you closing your eyes, and you slowly ran your fingers through his hair.

“You know … we will have to sit down and talk at some point.” “I don’t know, I’m kind of liking this system we’ve got going on right now.”

You laughed, pinching his side. He smiled at you, fingers gently running up and down your spine, nails tickling your skin. You moved a hand to the center of his chest, closing your eyes when you felt the steady thump of his heartbeat. Your voice was soft.

“What if someone is setting you up?”

When he didn’t answer, you lifted your eyes to his. He gave you a sad smile, then shook his head.

“I don’t know, babe.” “Why would they do it? Money?” “That’s my best guess.”

You both went quiet, and you moved your hand to his face, watching as he closed his eyes and leaned into your touch. You shook your head, voice barely a whisper.

“What did that girl do to you?”

Tony squeezed his eyes shut, shaking his head, starting to pull away from you. You grabbed his arm and he turned back, making you gasp as he swept you into his arms, burying his face in your hair. You closed your eyes at the tears that threatened and held him just as tightly. After a few moments, you spoke, your voice stronger than you were expecting it to be.

“We’ll get through this. Whatever happens, we’ll get through it.” “Promise?”

You closed your eyes again, smiling at his muffled question.

“I promise.”

You blinked your eyes open, swallowing before speaking again.

“I’m so sorry I pushed you away.” “Y/N—” “Let me. Please.”

Tony nodded, making no moves to let you go. You moved a hand to trail through his hair.

“I was so angry and hurt. I wanted you to hurt the way I was hurting.” “I never meant for you to get hurt. I never meant for any of this to happen.”

He leaned back, keeping his hands on your hips and staring into your eyes.

“You have to know that you are everything to me. You and our girls.” “I know.” “Then you have to know that I’d never cheat on you.”

You looked at his chest and he shook his head.

“I know what you’re thinking and you are enough for me. You’ve always been enough for me. I’m not good enough for you, but—” “Stop.”

You shook your head, lifting a finger to his lips. He took hold of your hand, pressing a kiss to your finger before he lowered your hands to his chest. You shook your head again, voice thick.

“You’re the best man I’ve ever known.” “Now you’re just blowing smoke.”

You laughed, waiting until he met your eyes.

“I love you.”

He swallowed, nodding his head, looking away. You gave his hand a squeeze as you spoke again.

“I know you heard me, but I’m going to say it again. I love you, Tony. And I’m sorry I didn’t believe in that or trust you enough.”

He took hold of your face, both of you closing your eyes as he pressed his lips to yours. He moved to rest his forehead against yours, and you let your hands rest at his waist.

“I’m going to take care of you.” “Tony.” “I’m serious. I don’t want you mixed up in this mess—” “Well, I am.”

He leaned back, looking into your eyes, slowly shaking his head.

“I have a sinking feeling it’s just going to get messier.”

You nodded, lifting your left hand. He gently held your fingers as you moved your thumb to wiggle your wedding ring.

“For better or worse, remember?”

Tony nodded.

“I do.”

You smiled.

“I did then, and I do now.”

You looked into his eyes, smiling.

“I’m going to stand by you, Tony. No matter what comes our way.”

He nodded, and you bit the inside of your cheek.

“I do have a couple of stipulations, though.”

He raised a dark eyebrow and you lifted one finger.

“We’ve got to get you another ring.”

Tony nodded, and you couldn’t stop the smile.

“And Jarvis needs to come with you when you move back in.”

His eyes shot to yours and you lifted a shoulder. He shook his head.

“Are you serious?” “Yes. Your girls need you here and I’m miserable without you, so please, come home.”

Tony lifted you into his arms, twirling you around as you laughed. He kissed you as soon as your feet were back on the floor and you sighed.

“And now, let’s go to bed.” “Seriously? We’ve gone like four times—” “Not for that, you lush. I’m exhausted. And sore.”

You and Tony stared at each other as both of your stomachs loudly grumbled. You blinked, then met his eyes.

“And starving. Call Mr. Foo’s while you find your pants.” “Bossy.”

You held a hand to the bannister, glancing over your shoulder and lifting an eyebrow. Tony raised his hands, shaking his head.

“Which is something I love about you. Where’s the phone?”

He hurried towards the kitchen and you shook your head, laughing to yourself as you started up the stairs to get some clothes on.

You were in the middle of a strange dream, one of those odd times when you knew you were dreaming, caught in that weird space between sleeping and being awake. You were swimming in seas of honey, much like the animated Winnie the Pooh episodes the girls loved to watch. A constant buzzing could be heard, from the bees who’d made the honey you were floating in.

Wait.

No.

That buzzing was real.

You blinked your eyes open, disoriented for a moment until you realized your surroundings. You were in your bed, a smile coming over your face when you realized you were tangled up with Tony. Your legs were tangled with his, your back against his chest, his arms holding you tightly to him, as close as you could be. You smiled, closing your eyes, hearing the buzzing start up again.

“Go back to sleep.”

You smiled at the sleep-heavy voice, snuggling closer to him.

“We wouldn’t be so tired if you hadn’t kept me up all night.” “It wasn’t all night.”

You gave a soft laugh followed by a yawn, shaking your head.

“What’s that buzzing noise?” “Phone.”

You nodded, eyes closed as you shifted, holding your pillow. Your eyes opened again as the buzzing died, then re-started and you shook your head.

“It might be the girls.”

Tony groaned, and you smiled as he kissed your shoulder, then rolled to his side, throwing out an arm and grabbing his phone from the nightstand.

“What?”

You rolled to look at him, worry furrowing your brows when he sat up.

“When? How?”

You swallowed as you sat up, and Tony moved to the edge of the bed, standing up and walking to the bathroom. You heard the buzzing again, looking to your nightstand and grabbing your phone, eyes widening when you saw Natasha’s name on the screen. You slid your finger across the phone, licking your suddenly dry lips.

“Nat?” “Oh, Y/N! Oh, thank God.” “Wanda, what’s wrong?”

Her voice was low, almost frantic.

“Photographers. Y/N, they’re everywhere. Nat went to get donuts and she didn’t take her phone. Well, she called me from the donut shop because she can’t get back home.”

You felt your heart thump in your chest.

“H-how? How did they find you?” “I don’t know. I’ve got the girls watching a movie, and all the curtains are drawn, but …”

You closed your eyes.

“Okay. It’s okay. I’ll call Bucky and he’ll come and help you.” “Thank you.” “Just hang on, Wanda.”

You ended the call, crawling out of the bed, using a shaky finger to dial Bucky. He answered on the second ring, greeting halfway through a yawn.

“Barnes.” “Buck, I need you.”

Any trace of sleepiness in his voice was gone when he spoke again.

“What happened?”

You shook your head as you walked into your closet.

“Paparazzi found Nat and Wanda’s place. The girls are with them.” “How bad is it?” “Nat went to get breakfast and can’t get back home.”

Tears came to your eyes then and you gave a shaky gasp. You lifted a hand to your lips and nodded at Bucky’s words.

“Give me five minutes and I’ll have the girls. Do you want me to bring them to you or Tony?”

You glanced towards the bedroom, where you could hear Tony hissing, spitting curses to whomever was on the other end of the line.

“Tony’s. We’ll head there now, and maybe they won’t be expecting it.” “If I get a tail, it could ruin everything we’ve set up so far.”

You shook your head as you tugged a pair of underwear up your legs.

“I need my babies safe, Bucky. Just get them to me.” “I’ll get them to you. Just hang on. Head to Tony’s now.”

You nodded as the call ended, and you tossed your phone onto the dresser, pulling on a bra and a pair of leggings.

“Babe?” “Closet!”

Tony stopped in the doorway, eyebrows furrowing.

“What happened?” “Paparazzi swarm at Nat and Wanda’s. Nat can’t get back to the house.” “Are the girls—” “They’re fine. Wanda’s got them, and Bucky’s heading that way. I told him to bring them to—” “The penthouse. Let’s go.”

He turned to leave and you shook your head.

“Tony!”

He stopped, looking over his shoulder at you, and you smiled through the dread pooling in your stomach.

“You’re naked.”

He glanced down, clearing his throat as he walked to his side of the closet. You shook your head, a quiet laugh leaving your lips as you rushed to the bathroom to try and throw your hair up.

my heart is hitting the ground (Chapter One)

An urban fantasy/college Widomauk AU! Many many many thanks to the wonderful @minky-for-short for getting me into this podcast in the first place and workshopping this fic with me. Also enormous thanks to the amazingly talented @rabdoidal whose fantastic art this fic is based on but I could honestly write a multi-chapter fic on every bit of fan art he’s ever done, it’s all that great.

Please consider reblogging and leaving me some feedback!

Ao3 | Ko-fi

Caleb Widoghast isn't the kind of guy who blows off studying and goes out a lot. He isn't the kind of guy to get too drunk at the gig for some college band he's never heard of. He isn't the kind of guy to fall hopelessly in love with the tiefling singer of said band and flirt with him after way too much whiskey.

Caleb Widoghast wakes up to find that, last night, he did exactly that. And now he has to deal with the fallout.

The night before came back to Caleb in pieces, each one worse than the last.

The dry mouth. The pounding headache. The fact that he was still wearing jeans under the covers but no shirt at all. The ringing ears.

He moaned and pushed the hair back from his forehead, wrinkling his nose at the almost immediate reek of whiskey. Why the hell was he drinking whiskey, he never…

And then the last piece fell into place. And Caleb seriously considered diving back down underneath his blankets and never emerging again.

“Good morning!”

Of course, no knock preceded his bedroom door flinging open with a bang that made his eardrums throb, the only person it could be was Nott and courtesy wasn’t her strong suit. They’d known each other too long for that.

“I am…struggling to see what’s good about it,” Caleb groaned, pulling a face as the sound that came out of him sounded more like the last gasps of a dying squeaky toy.

Nott smirked at him from the cavernous hood of her sweatshirt, “M’kay, before you ask, let’s just do this all in one. Yes, you did get horrendously drunk. Yes, it was bad. And yes, Beau has video.”

Caleb slumped back into the tangled mess of his bedding, whimpering pathetically, “That’s it. I’m done with civilisation. I’m going to live in the woods and be a hermit and never speak to another person ever again. They will tell tales of me…”

Nott snorted, scrambling up on the end of his bed, “Aw, don’t be so dramatic. Beau had a few herself, it’s all shaky, you can barely see anything,” she took a sip of her tea, “Jester’s the one that got the really good shot…”

Caleb moaned again, louder as if making a point, dragging one of the pillows over his head.

His roommate couldn’t contain her giggles, though she tried to discreetly direct it into her mug, “The night wasn’t a total waste. You really seemed like you were having fun after about the third whiskey and coke. And you were really digging the band…”

Caleb threw his arm from his protective nest of blankets, accusatorily, “No! No, we are not talking about that!”

Nott held up her hands, “Hey, we all thought it was adorable! The way you kept ordering drinks so you could stand closer to the stage, I don’t think you ever heard a word anyone said…we knew you liked that kinda grungy, indie shit but we didn’t know you liked it that much!”

“Nott, I swear, I will kick you off this bed,” Caleb tried to snarl but it came out as more of a whimper, “Can you please take pity on me and make me some coffee?”

“Wish I could, big guy, but we’re all out,” the young goblin shrugged regretfully, “I think you used the last of it to get you through your last deadline.”

Caleb gave another miserable, frustrated groan, now at the world at large rather than Nott. That was just typical.

“Fine…fine, I’ll go get some,” he mumbled, trying to make his head stop throbbing long enough for him to tell up from down and roll out of bed, “Fresh air. it’ll be good for me. I think.”

“There ya go, positive attitude,” Nott grinned her ear to ear smile, hopping lightly back to the floor, somehow not spilling a single drop of tea to the carpet or, at least, what of it was visible beneath the piles of clothes and notebooks.

Her large ears pricked up as Caleb’s phone gave an annoyingly bright chirp, her smile turning playful and crooked, “If you need a refresher on what happened that night, I bet that’s it.”

Caleb frowned, pawing on his dresser until he found his phone, squinting blearily at it. Sure enough, there was a flurry of messages from his friends, a few pictures that seemed to show nothing but blurs and vague shapes that maybe could be him twirling around lampposts and trying to climb up onto a table. And a video. A few videos actually.

He felt his heart twist with that familiar and unpleasant acid of embarrassment as he studied the thumbnail of the first one. The purple tiefling, the singer, in all his colourful and coiffed glory, somehow still looking as drop dead gorgeous as he had the night before, even when recreated in blocky pixels. He was leaning against a large stacked speaker, an unmistakeably bemused expression on his face while some bedraggled, stooped hobo looking guy clung to a table for balance beside him. Caleb pinched the bridge of his nose and tossed the phone over his shoulder (though he was tempted to aim for the window) as it sunk in that it was him.

He hadn’t meant to go over and actually talk to the guy. He’d been perfectly content staying squeezed in between Fjord and Beau, subtly drooling and moony eyed over the front man who alternated between yelling his expletive filled song titles over the clamour of the close, smoky darkness of the bar and singing in a rough, low growl that had done things to Caleb that he really wasn’t ready to admit to. That would have been a perfect plan, maybe he’d daydream about him for a few weeks and months after before accepting that the tiefling was so far out of his league that it wasn’t even funny and sinking back into school work and vague loneliness.

But Caleb had found himself drifting back to the bar, where the view of the singer (Mollymauk, that was his name, Caleb wasn’t likely to forget it any time soon) with the spotlight hitting his exquisitely tattooed chest just right, looked like something from a goddamn renaissance painting. Instead of his usual half pints of what his friends insisted were pretentious hipster beers, Caleb had found himself ordering jack and cokes, eventually graduating to straight whiskeys after a while, hoping that the singer might notice and think him some cool cowboy type rather than the nervous exchange student in rumpled flannel that he was, who could launch into a full-on lecture about the benefits of different brewing techniques if given the slightest nudge.

Caleb blamed the whiskeys and the urging of his friends for the incredibly bad decision that followed the end of the set. He didn’t remember his words exactly, he just remembered a powerful need to go and tell this Mollymauk of the beautiful voice and extravagant dress sense just how much he’d loved his music. And he really had. He’d loved the rawness of it, the clever twists in the lyrics that sent the song suddenly careening in a direction no one would have guessed. He loved its simplicity, just that voice echoing through the underground bar and a simple guitar accompaniment from a very tall woman who’d had Beau staring in a very similar way to Caleb (he wondered why she wasn’t getting any shit for that…and then quickly realised it was probably because she hadn’t made a colossal ass of herself afterwards and because Beau getting heart eyes over a woman she’d only just met was nothing new). Caleb had never, ever found any music that had spoken to him like this stuff did; it make him feel less alone, less broken, less of an outsider. It had been a stronger magic to him than anything he read about in his schoolbooks and he’d fallen for it, hard and devastatingly.

All that would have been a great thing to tell Mollymauk, when Caleb had come staggering over from his table to where the tiefling was packing away his microphone. Unfortunately, what had come tumbling out of his mouth, as far as he could remember, was something about his music being so good that it had ‘given him a boner in his heart’.

Caleb thanked every god he’d ever heard of that he didn’t remember Mollymauk’s reaction, feeling a sickness in his stomach that had nothing to do with his hangover.

“Did you get the one of you doing Singing in the Rain in German?” Nott chirped happily, still in the doorway, swaying in her sweatshirt so long it brushed her knees, the one she always wore, “I never knew you had such a good voice.”

Caleb grumbled at her, glaring with bleary eyes, waving his hand dismissively, “Go. I need to shower…why do I need to shower so bad?”

“Oh,” Nott shrugged, “Probably because you climbed into the dumpster thinking it was the cab.”

Caleb dragged his hand through his long hair, which had taken on the consistency of a reddish brown, greasy birds nest, “Do us all a favour, Nott, and just leave me in the gutter next time. This was an absolute disaster.”

His roommate gave him a look he didn’t understand before disappearing around the corner, “Are you sure?” she called behind her.

That look and those words continued to confuse Caleb until he was in the bathroom, wondering if he should just burn his clothes and have done with it, when he caught sight of his own reflection above the sink. Not a pretty sight on any day and even less now in Caleb’s opinion, but his aching eyes were distracted. By the series of numbers written on his forehead in a flourishing hand, in thick black Sharpie.

Ah. Now Caleb remembered pressing the pen into Mollymauk’s hand, asking him to write his number on his head so he wouldn’t forget it. The wizard slumped, letting his head knock against the cold porcelain of the sink.

Being a forest hermit was sounding more and more tempting every second.

Grim’s ear flicked to the sound of shattering glass in Orion’s apartment, followed by an angry exclamation of “FUCK!” He got up and went into the kitchen, noticing glass shards and water on the floor, as Orion still stood holding the neck of a bong and Morty was backing away from his raised leg with a needle taped to a pen and a bottle of india ink, he was covered in dirty bong water and glared up at Orion.

“I told you not to hold it while I’m doing this.” Morty said taking his hat from his head and shaking water out.

“You said, ‘here hold this.’ And they you fucking stuck a needle into my skin.” Orion exclaimed.

“you’re fucking drunk.” Morty argued, going after him with the needle again

“You’re fucking high.” Orion said backing away, holding the sharp end of the bong neck to him.

“I’m both, let’s do this.” Grim smiled. Morty looked over to him with a wide grin.

“Grimmy’s here!” Morty said gleefully as Orion started to lower his guard and backed away slowly. Grim took his shirt off and pulled a chair up to the counter. Morty did the same and looked intently at his friend. “What would you like, buddy?” he asked through dirty glasses.

“tit tat. Surprise me. Don’t go too big though. Two inches max.” Grim said gesturing to his chest, just above his rib.

“You’re getting a dick.” Morty laughed.

“Two inch dick. Yeah you should know what that looks like.” Grim said in a snicker. Morty scowled up at him and prodded him with the needle. Grim flinched and his brows winced down. Orion’s roommate came home from work a few minutes into the stick and poke session and observed the first two letters on Grim’s chest. He laughed and left the room briefly returning with a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some paper towels. He handed them to Morty as he started to make a ‘K’

“Oh shit.” Orion’s roommate giggled again.

“What?” Grim asked, looking up, twisting, trying to see what Morty was doing.

“He spelled it wrong.” He grinned up at him. Morty shook his head.

“Shit. I forgot the ‘C’. Oh well.” He said as he finished the line of the K and then dabbed Grim with the rubbing alcohol. Grim jumped at the sting and bit his lip.

“What does it say?” he asked.

“I was trying to be clever and titty fuck you.” Morty said as he pushed back and waited for Grim to follow him to the bathroom to look in the mirror. Grim looked at his reflection at the letters “F U K” Grim laughed heartily.

“dumbass!” He exclaimed. Morty smiled and looked at Grim’s chest, bleeding slightly.

“That’s probably gonna get infected as fuck.” He said rubbing his eyebrow briefly.

“You cleaned the needle right?” Grim asked, looking at him.

“Yeah, but it’s still like, done in a kitchen.” Morty smiled.

“Well, as long as you didn’t poke me 300 times with a used heroin needle I’ll be fine dealing with it.” Grim laughed.

“The worst that happens is you die of AIDs, right?”

“Oh this just reminded me…” Grim said letting his mind trail off as he left the room. He went up to Orion and grabbed onto his shoulder, leaning into him.

“Where did you get your piercings done?” he asked, looking up to his older friend. Orion rolled his eyes up in thought.

“These three are from Black Moon. They’re the best.” He said briefly touching his jewelry. Grim nodded his head.

“Oasis wants her belly button pierced for her birthday.” He said in a smile.

“Would you wipe that dumbass grin off your face when you talk about her?” Orion smiled.

“I can’t help it, I honestly fucking love her.” Grim laughed, scrubbing the back of his neck. Orion shook his head in a laugh.

“Fuck you’re gonna start singing love songs next.” Orion chuckled. Grim shook his head laughing, rolling his eyes. Grim looked up at the clock on the wall, it was rounding 9:00.

“I need to sober up a little.” He said passing his bottle to Orion to finish. Orion took a swig of the beer as Grim lounged back in the couch, watching Morty tattoo his own legs. Morty sat criss cross hunched over, staring intently as the needle poked in and out of his flesh. Grim turned his eyes to the television, laughing at a comedic part in one of Orion’s favorite movies.

About two hours later Grim headed for home, his chest stinging a bit where his new tattoo was. He casually walked into his grandmother’s home and greeted her as she was putting dishes away. He grabbed some of the odds and ends that she couldn’t quite move well enough to put away and stowed them away in their homes. She smiled at him and thanked him for his help before sitting down at the counter and turning to a page in her book. Grim let out a sigh and tossed his keys out of his jacket onto the counter and leaned against the counter, biting his nails in thought.

“What’s the matter chamacco?” his grandmother asked as he started into space, clicking a thumbnail against his teeth. His eyes shifted to her.

“Nothing. Just thinking.” He said as she looked up at him from her book.

“about?” she asked, marking her spot before closing her book to lean on her hand listening to him.

“A little bit of everything.” He sighed. “I need to figure out what to do for me and Oasis after we graduate.” He said pinching his brow. “where to work, where to live, all that shit.”

“What to name your babies.” His grandmother smirked, watching his reaction. His brows scrunched down and he let out of breath of a snicker before rolling his eyes.

“That’s not happening.” He said looking into her deep brown eyes.

“We’ll see.” She chuckled. Grim shook his head laughing at the thought of himself bringing a child into the world, god forbid.

“have you been drinking?” Grim joked with her, playfully nudging her arm before saying goodnight and heading up to his room. He started to write down a few notes for some song ideas before laying down in bed stripped down to his underwear. He snuggled into the sheets and burrowed into his pillow, trying to suffocate his mind with sleep.

max/chad part 2

(I’ve randomly decided this story takes place in like 2010 when Max would have actually been in high school)

Max and Chad had become very close in the following weeks. They were still seen as losers by many, but at least they each had someone to share that experience with. At first, Max just liked not having to eat lunch alone every day, and having someone to take the bus with. But she was surprised how well she actually got on with Chad. He was a total cunt on the outside, especially to anyone who wasn’t her, and she liked that. She hated people just as much as him. But he had a soft centre, which Max appreciated as well.

It turned out the two had drama class together, which was great because most of the other kids in drama didn’t find it nearly as fun as Max. They just thought it was an easy grade. He didn’t expect it, but Chad really loved performing. He wanted to be a comedian, which Max thought was a perfect fit considering how easy he could get a laugh. The only thing Max didn’t like was that she was always assigned female parts in the scenes they performed. She knew it made sense, but she preferred the rare occasions she got to play a dude. Even a crusty old man, she’d fucking take it over some prissy role.

Max also found herself hanging out at his place after school. She much preferred it than going home. Chad was big into World of Warcraft, which Max was quite vocal about how dorky he thought that was. Max liked Runescape, which Chad thought was really gay. But together they usually just played a round of Mario Kart or Mortal Kombat.

“Why the fuck do you always play as Reptile?” Chad teased.

“Uhh, cause he’s the most badass character?”

“Come on! Sub-Zero? Sonya Blade! Fuckin’ Scorpion!”

“Nah. Reptile... Why the fuck ya’ always playing as Mileena?”

“Cause she’s got her tits out. Plus, the chicks are less bulky you can jump around and shit.”

“Who cares about jumping around?”

“Well not you, cause you have no strategy. You just push random buttons until you can get something to happen.”

“Fuck up, cunt! I’ll get something to happen alright...” It was true, she was a bit of a button masher, but she had a certain technique with it. It wasn’t nearly as random as one may think. Biting her lip in concentration, she managed a few lucky combos, draining her friends energy bar.

“Reptile Wins,” the game announced.

Max laughed. “Ha! Your strategy is garbage!!”

“Whatever, cunt... You got lucky...”

Max smirked, tossing her controller next to her on the couch. “I’m bored with games. Let’s do something else.”

“Why? Cause you know ya’ won’t get lucky twice in a row?”

“Maybe,” she replied playfully. None the less, Chad switched off the TV. “So...” Max went on. “Do you have any music we could listen to?” Without asking, she plopped down in Chad’s computer chair and opened up iTunes. Chad was the only kid Max knew who had his own computer in his bedroom. It must be great to go online without having to be in the living room, in front of everyone. Scrolling through iTunes, Max made a face. “Black Eyed Peas? Kesha? Kiss Me Through the Phone by Souija Boy!? Dude, your music taste is fucking horrible!”

“Those are good songs!”

“What the fuck is this!?” Max clicked a song entitled “Laffy Taffy.” A rap song with a beat that sounded like a cheap ring tone echoed through the tinny computer speakers. “Shake that Laffy Taffy?” Max laughed, observing the lyrics. “That’s retarded!”

“It’s fucking catchy as hell, ya’ snob!” Chad smirked, sauntering over to his friend. “That’s a tight ass beat!” he declared, grooving to the music. Max laughed. Chad’s dancing was as bad as his music playlist, but it was kind of endearing.... He took Max by each hand, pulling her from the office chair and forcing her to dance with him. Max laughed, throwing her head back. But she gave in. Somewhat at least.

“Hang on, hang on,” she finally said. “I’ll show you some good music!” She opened up YouTube, typing in “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”. Chad laughed as soon as he saw the thumbnail.

“That guy’s wearing eyeliner!”

“So what?”

“This is some emo shit!”

“It’s good. Just listen,” Max insisted, going back over to Chad’s futon.

“Fine...” he relented, taking a seat beside her. Max was clearly a different type of music listener than Chad. She was the type who had to listen quietly and appreciate the song, which Chad found kind of pretentious but still... Max closed her eyes, slowly bobbing her head as she listened. As the song was coming to a close, she felt a hand on her, breaking her from her trans. She looked down at Chad’s hand on her thigh.

“What are you doing....?” She raised an eyebrow, looking at him.

“I...I thought you’d like that...” He averted his eyes, retracting his hand rather meekly. Uncharacteristic for him, Max thought.

“What are you talking about?”

Chad took a breath, trying a new tactic. He gripped Max by the waist, pulling her towards him and planted an innocent, inexperienced peck on her lips.

Max blinked, gently shoving him away. “Why are you kissing me...?”

“I...I like you....” It was so awkward, it made Max cringe. “I...Thought you liked me too....?”

“Well, I do...But...Not like that. Why did you think...I wanted to kiss you...?”

“I’m sorry...”

“No, I’m not upset.....”

“You’re a girl....You’re always coming over.... I thought.....”

“Chad... You’re cute alright, but just cause a girl is your friend doesn’t mean she like likes you. That’s retarded....” Max stopped herself, realizing that might be a little harsh. “I mean....I’m not saying a girl wouldn’t like you, it’s just....” God, she hated this.

“Max, I’m sorry....Just forget it happened.... I still wanna be friends with you, I didn’t mean it like that....”

“Well.... Why do you like me anyways? There’s nothing to like. Is it just cause I’m the only girl who will talk to you?” she tried to be playful once more.

“No. I just think you’re really cool, and you’re cute. That’s all.”

“Well....What if I wasn’t a girl? Would....Would you still like me?”

“Uhh... I’m not gay...But...Well....I mean, probably, honestly....”

“Really?” Max raised an eyebrow. It wasn’t the answer she expected, but she liked it. Then she smirked. “That sounds pretty gay to me!” she laughed.

“Maybe I am gay! You look like a fuckin’ boy anyways, you know that?”

“Really?”

“Yeah! If we went on a date somewhere everyone’d think we were gay anyways,” he laughed.

“Yeah...” Max laughed back. “Sometimes...You know, sometimes...I wish I was a guy...”

“Well, you could always get a sex-change operation. Ya’ just go into the doctor, and ya’ come out a dude.”

“It aint that easy, dumb cunt!” Max tossed a cushion at his friend.

“Okay! Look, I’ll pretend we’re homos. Just lemme take ya’ out somewhere.”

“Ughhh....Okay, okay, I’ll make you a deal. You can ask me again in...Umm... 2 months. Until then, ya’ can’t bring anything like that up. Deal?”

“Deal. I’ll snag ya’ in two months, just wait...”

“Starting now!”

HajiKo Anime: Summer 2020

Previously I made a post where I talked about my first impressions of the Summer anime I’ve watched, now that the Fall season is getting closer, now it’s finally the time to give my final impressions of everything I watched this season.

(I wanted to make a custom thumbnail for this post like I did with the previous one but I gave up with the idea afterwards)

(Also, I had some of this post in draft for a while but on September 29th, I spent HOURS and I WROTE a lot of good shit before and for some god forsaken reason Firefox decided to crash. Everything I had written before is gone and I have not even saved at all since, I’m so god damn salty. Now you will never experience what have I written before and all I wrote now are just bare remains from what I last remember writing, I was so god damn salty but in the end the rewrite worked out well, I did the best I could to rewrite some of the same things I said before and I did some little changes and added new things so I was satisfied, I hope you can still enjoy the post.)

As usual, here’s the tier of everything I watched this season:

(Higher resolution)

By the way, as of 2021 I think I might make only ONE tier for every anime I’m gonna watch that entire year, as I publish my first tier of the Winter season, I’ll be adding more visuals of the Spring anime and so on, even if I might get lost in finding the visuals as I edit my template, this is because I’ve been constantly making way too many standalone tiers for a single season FOR A YEAR, I bet I’ve must have been taking a lot of the website’s space for something very small and irrelevant.

TierMaker should have better options on whether the tiers your making are public or not, and I read the terms of services conditions, I’m kind of scared on what to do next with using TierMaker for doing these kinds of tiers, I can’t just find a random blank template and use GIMP.

Uzaki-chan: Aside from simply saying “This was a very good show, I had plenty of laughs” or something, the main thing I want to talk about isn’t so much in the show itself, but rather how Uzaki-chan herself, Hana Uzaki, has become a target of SJWs in one of the worst anime controversies ever, even worse than Goblin Slayer.

As for the series itself, I really liked it, I had plenty of good laughs and it was just fun to watch, and I’m really happy that season 2 is happening now too.

Fire Force: There is something about the feel of the show, these awkward long slow moments and stuff and everything else kinda drives me insane, but until the second half of the first season with the Adolla Burst and stuff, that’s where now I’m getting very intrigued in the plot, the worldbuilding, everything, and this season continues to expand the story and it gets even more interesting, and the animation can be really nice too.

Re:Zero season 2: Echidna is best girl, that’s it, that’s the review.

All jokes aside, I’m liking this season so far, it gets somewhat confusing but I’ll figure that out, and it’s strange that we’re only having the first half of the season this Summer and we will have to wait all the way to Winter 2021 for the series to continue, it’s a very Ufotable thing to do and hell, even Magia Record is still in production as of now.

Oregairu season 3: Let me give you a little bit of a retrospect: I honestly vaguely remember what even happened in the first two seasons, as I started watching this season, I started to remember at least one key moment from season 2 and even the characters, which I kinda feel like I like most characters, except Irohas is my least favorite, maybe Komachi too when she constantly says “kimochiwarui” but she’s not extremely annoying like Irohas. I still think how these last two seasons are visually impressive in contrast to the first season, that one’s painful to watch, the voice acting is particularly interesting too.

Now that the series is over, let me give my overall thoughts on the Oregairu series as a whole. The series overall isn’t a series I wouldn’t consider be a huge part of my life, I’m not hugely impressed with it but there are things I liked and I would still talk that I had seen the series, it’s kinda something.

Donkyuu Hentai HxEROS: This one’s the most conflicting ecchi series I’ve ever watched in my life. On the first episode, I was into it at first, but then I started to feel lukewarm about it, but then episode 5 was the one episode I got genuinely the most impressed, and the next few episodes have started to degrade on me, it was a complete 50/50 of a series to watch.

My biggest problem of the series is Kirara, her writing and just her overal existence, she’s the most painfully unlikeable main ecchi heroines I’ve ever seen in my entire life. On one hand, she looks cute, but boy, I fucking hate her so much, I can’t stand for how she is at all, I absolutely prefer her young lowkey pervert self from the flashbacks, she might even be the worst girl ever. If there’s any best girl in this series, it’d probably be the other HxERO girls like the Saitama branch teammates, the girls from the Toyko branch and even Chacha (And the shota (?) from the Toyko branch is best boy). The flashbacks are especially sad, it really hurts me how Enjo and Kirara’s happiness got taken away so god damn bad.

As someone who’s completely spoiled with full blown hentai instead of ecchi nowadays, I usually prefer girls written as perverts or something, someone who can be okay with what the MC does and what not, anyway, the other HxERO girls seem to be absolutely fine with doing the H-Energy and stuff, but Kirara is so intolerable to watch. Even Chacha and Dark Kirara (A hallucination reflecting Kirara’s young self dressed in a iliy outfit) encourage Kirara to be more honest with her feelings about Retto and try to bring her to her old self.

(I really hope this doesn’t sound sexist)

The animation was decent, the visuals looked nice but there are times the animation can be a little off, especially episode 11 which was awful, then there’s also the annoying censorship even the AT-X broadcast didn’t help, and by the way, the “H-Energy” version that comes out a week after the original episode premiere was not worth it at all, it only decensors some irrelevant parts, the steam and such, it doesn’t even decensor the boobs, thankfully the Blu-Rays are here to save the day.

I judge Kirara a lot which is my deal breaker with the series, but what about the story or the concept even? The concept of the story, the themes and everything seems okay, nothing really special about it that kinda makes up for the series being decent.

This isn’t the worst ecchi series I’ve seen in my life, but certainly the most mediocre, one that I felt it was truly frustrating to watch and I’m not even sure if I should make rank this as C or even D which I ended up on the former for the pros being the visuals and the concept being okay. Take me back to Winter 2020 with Ishuzoku Reviewers. Maybe I should have watched Peter Grill this season instead.

Honorable mentions:

BanG Dream Garupa Pico Ohmori: I gotta be real about the Garupa Pico series overall now, not just with Ohmori but with the first season as well.

To be brutally honest, I don’t really find humor in this series as much, though in some cases there are episodes that did make me laugh, I mean, the series is still entertaining to watch as it is but at the same time I’m not really impressed, it isn’t much of a constant laughing stock series as I wanted it to be, and never has been even with the first season to begin with.

Before the series came out, I had an argument with someone who hates the main Bandori anime series because of the “forced drama” and they called the Garupa Pico series “the good series,” it seriously frustrated me because the third season from this Winter was so good, it’s probably the best Bandori season yet because of the character interactions and it made me become a fan of RAS. I don’t hate the Garupa Pico series, it still has its charm, I like the visuals (I’m surprised that the Garupa Pico series are animated by Sanzigen as well) and I admire how the series is watchable on YouTube via the official Bandori channels, but in my opinion, this is probably like a 7/10 B rank series at best, it isn’t something that’s gonna stick and be a huge part of my life like the main series.

With that being said, I would probably like to go back to the Spring 2020 tier I made and would put Garupa Pico Ohmori on B in retrospect, but I’m still gonna keep it as it is because at the time I was really surprised for its sudden existence.

General overview and critiques of the overall Garupa Pico series aside, let’s talk about Ohmori for once, if there’s one thing I have to give huge thumbs up for is introducing RAISE A SUILEN and Morfonica and the series continuing to last for two-cours, one-cour for a short series can be such a waste, even better comedies like Girls’ Frontline Healing Chapter (I have something special to tell you about it below), I really like that the series is very long so I can watch all the misadventures for every band, but at the same time, even if RAS and Morfonica have finally been introduced, they’re still somewhat irrelevant and underused which makes me sad since Bandori 3 really made me a huge fan of RAS and I want to see more of them, and oddly enough, they probably can’t even bother trying to update the ending theme by including RAS and Morfonica, both in the visual and the song itself, if there’s gonna be a new Garupa Pico season in the next two years, hopefully RAS and Morfonica will become regular cast members. As for Morfonica, I have no idea and I don’t really know them much, I seriously need Bandori 4 to happen so it can introduce Morfonica and make me understand them.

As Joaquin Phoenix Joker said: “Comedy is subjective, Murray.”

Welcome to the Japari Park season 2: If there’s some things I have to complain about this second season is that I wish the series would continue to do these secret mystery Kako recordings during the credits like the first season had, and I wish they would stop doing these Friend trivia segments with non-existent Friends, the first season always did these segments with Friends who are actually featured in one episode or something, now that the series has been doing these segments with Friends that don’t even appear in the series, it makes these segments absolutely pointless.

Speaking of Kemono Friends, after the Welcome to the Japari Park series, who knows if the franchise’s anime future will live on given on how widely panned Kemono Friends 2 was. SEGA’s Chocotto Anime Kemono Friends 3 shorts have pretty much ended, I was actually eager on watching these shorts but they haven’t made any new short for a long time. What about 2021? Should we expect a Kemono Friends 3 anime? Probably not, and with the existence of the game with the same name, it’s gonna be extremely confusing whether this Kemono Friends 3 anime should be the third season of the main series or might be an adaptation of the game, whatever it turns out, I’d still watch it anyways because I want to continue to observe the Kemono Friends anime adaptations unfold, and I’d still be confident it would still be nowhere near as good as the first season with Tatsuki.

By the way, since September 16th, SEGA finally released not one, but FOUR new Chocotto Anime Kemono Friends 3 shorts after so long! (1, 2, 3, 4), I just happened to find that out as of the (re)writing of this, September 29th. My question is, what did it even take so long to make new shorts? One would assume is most likely COVID because that affected quite a lot of anime, but at least we finally got not one but four new videos of the Kemono Friends 3 shorts.

My Hero Academia: Make It! Do-or-Die Survival. Pretty strange for a new My Hero Academia OVA to come out this time.

Aggretsuko season 3. If there’s one thing I’d like to say about this season, or at least the last few episodes, it’s that this season has quite the darkest season finales for Aggretsuko I’ve ever seen.

Plans for Fall:

This was the weakest season of the year despite Uzaki-chan and Fire Force (Fruits Basket, Garupa Pico and Japari Park too but I don’t count leftovers), it’s a shame considering how this decade had started strong with quite some good shows and Summer has always been my favorite anime season, but the line-up isn’t as great as before, if Akudama Drive and Danmachi season 3 wouldn’t have been delayed if it weren’t for COVID, they would have made this season slightly better, but now that I think about it, it was for the best for them to get delayed because this Fall line-up is looking a million times better, hell, it’s looking to be the best season of the year!

Now, whenever I talk about the Fall anime season, we can’t forget the most important thing ever: My birthday! If you have no idea, I’ll probably remind you a billion times my birthday is coming soon, October 4th, and one of the things I always look forward the most is watching day 1 anime that come out in my birthday, but alas, I started to feel like I’m not looking forward to my birthday this year AT ALL, mainly because Venom Let There Be Carnage got delayed until June of 2021, and that really sucks so bad because THAT WAS MY ONLY CHANCE TO SEE A VENOM MOVIE IN MY BIRTHDAY, SOMETHING THE FIRST FILM SHOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE IT CAME OUT A DAY LATE! IT WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY TOPPED JOKER AS MY #1 BEST BIRTHDAY FILM EVER! My birthday gets even more depressing when there’s literally not a single anime that remotely interests me coming out in my birthday and most of the anime I’m the most excited for are coming out before and long after my birthday, the only choice I have is Talentless Nana, or Munou na Nana if you’d like to call the series but I like using the former, I watched the trailer of it and it was okay, not really impressed but might as well give it a shot in my birthday, if I didn’t like it, might as well rewatch the anime that came before it.

Anyways, enough talk about my birthday, let’s talk about my most anticipated Fall shows:

Akudama Drive - October 8th: Since the foundation of Tookyo Games, a new studio by Kazutaka Kodaka,and Kotaro Uchikoshi with artists like Rui Komatsuzaki and Shimadoriru, this anime by Pierrot was the #1 thing that got my most attention, and I can’t believe that we’re so close to the release! Though I SERIOUSLY wish this would come out on my birthday.

Danganronpa may be over but as long as there’s new projects with Kodaka and Komatsuzaki onboard, such as Akudama Drive and the upcoming Tribe Nine. Oh, and speaking of Danganronpa, guess what?... THERE’S GONNA BE AN AKUDAMA DRIVE AND DANGANRONPA COLLABORATION!!! (News provided by the official Akudama Drive Twitter account) Not only there’s gonna be illustrations by Rui Komatsuzaki but if the translations are correct, there’s gonna be more projects along the way! A Danganronpa and Akudama Drive collab is something I just never knew I needed in my life!

I’m absolutely calling it, this is definitely gonna be my AOTY, it may be based due to the fact that I love the Danganronpa franchise to death, but I’ve always had my eyes on this and I want to see it now!

By the way, I just realized something, there’s this project with visuals by Rui Komatsuzaki and Shimadoriru that I have yet to see some news of!

It’s not Tribe Nine, that game looks like a completely different beast on its own and it’s in collaboration with another project.

Then there’s also this other game that’s, quote:

Collaboration of the development team of Danganronpa and Spike Chunsoft. Kodaka actually started this project before his retirement of Spike Chunsoft. We imagine a kind of cyberpunk world from this art. Komatsuzaki designs the characters, Shimadoriru designs background, and Takada directs the sounds.

Okay, that sounds really cool, but I’m more interested in the one project with the Rui Komatsuzaki and Shimadoriru visuals, I want to know more about them!

Sure, the concept art may not represent what the final product might end up looking, but World’s End Club (Originally called Death March Club) and Akudama Drive live up to their concept art, so that’s something!

Speaking of Danganronpa, the 10th anniversary stuff was ABSOLUTELY LACKLUSTER, I legit expected there might have been surprise announcements or anything that said there’s a new Danganronpa installment, but nothing absolutely relevant came from it, the Danganronpa x Akudama Drive collab was the only good thing from it. This is what I get for setting my expectations way too high, well, maybe not too high, but still, come on.

(But at the same time, do I REALLY want a new Danganronpa without the staple creators on board?)

Girls’ Frontline Healing Chapter season 2 - October 7th: Girls’ Frontline isn’t my most played gacha game, a black sheep, probably the most blackest sheep since Granblue Fantasy, one I don’t heavily get invested to play like Fate/Grand Order, Azur Lane and even Arknights, though while I started playing Arknights at launch, I stopped around March because the game was very difficult and I lacked the resources, but I returned to the game in May after seeing my older sister starting to play Arknights. I returned to Girls’ Frontline because my Filipino friend started playing Girls’ Frontline around early May and he’s made quite a lot of insane progress in just 5 months, even I wouldn’t ever do that, but since September 28th, I uninstalled the game because I wanted to have some space to install Genshin Impact but at the same time I ended up giving on it too because it ran pretty slow for my phone even on the lowest settings and I almost had no storage left, I even tried installing the game on PC and I don’t know why but the game gave me last minute errors for some reason, so sacrifices had to be made for both Girls’ Frontline and Genshin Impact.

Anyway, enough talk with the gacha game side of things because I made quite a long un-spaced (?) paragraph, let’s talk about the GFL short anime series itself, even as a non-GFL player, I LOVED this series to death, hell, I was even lowkey sad when Healing Chapter ended, Madness Chapter, however... Not so much, we don’t talk about Madness Chapter. The biggest surprise I had when the series came out was that it came out in BiliBili with Chinese dub, hearing anime in Chinese dub is unheard of, I thought the series would be automatically in Japanese because the first trailer had an all-Japanese voice-over, but the Chinese dub was quite good, but then the Japanese dub finally came out--ON MY BIRTHDAY! on Japanese television (and BiliBili too). Well, that’s quite a lovely surprise, I managed to watch the JP dubbed premiere of Healing Chapter long before I went out with my family to have lunch and then go see Joker, it was the second 神映画 (Kami eiga - God film, I made that up) of the year, and my #1 was of course Avengers: Endgame. The JP dub of both Healing and Madness Chapter were very good too overall, it did some things better than CN and vice versa, even casting Persica’s JP voice which I really hope her seiyuu can be used again at some point, the JP broadcast of Healing Chapter also had these weird live-action segments of some dudes’ hands playing with the main character plushies doing random things... I don’t even know what they are or why they are, all I can say that they’re just pretty much fillers to fit the Japanese TV broadcast time limit.

I’m wasting quite a lot of time writing nonsense history of my experience with the Girls’ Frontline short anime series and let me get straight to the point of season 2, when the interview video was released, one of the animators said that they were working on season 2 and then the designs for AK-12 and AN-94 were shown, I’m of course hyped as hell for season 2! (Poggers) and, I don’t want to say this but because of COVID-19, I thought season 2 wouldn’t ever happen now, but it’s still alive and kicking and ready to be released! But there’s one MAJOR problem, apparently BiliBili is going to region lock the series! At first I wasn’t concerned about it for some reason, I had some misguided optimism that someone’s gotta have a VPN or do anything to try to upload the series on more accessible websites, but now the concern is growing bigger and bigger, but still let’s hope someone can still upload season 2 somewhere, I don’t want to see spoilers going around, even if I don’t follow a lot of Girls’ Frontline accounts which I should because sometimes I wouldn’t have ever found out about season 2.

Now I’m just seeing mostly stuff about Healing Chapter season 2, there’s one major question, should I expect Madness Chapter season 2 as well? As far as I know, there really hasn’t been any trailer for a potential season 2 or if it’s actually getting one at all, doesn’t seem like the series did well and I didn’t even care about it sometimes, which is great because Healing Chapter is far superior. But now that Madness Chapter may not get a second season, there’s also the question of what does M16′s Chinese VA mean by making the series “longer,” longer as in be a couple of minutes longer? Although 3-4 minutes is already a decent runtime, it’s not insanely short but I’m down if they’d make it at least a couple of minutes longer. Maybe making the series longer means that we can have a two-cour second season worth of Girls’ Frontline: Healing Chapter only? I would love for that to happen, but we’ll have to find out and see.

There are somethings I forgot to mention about Girls’ Frontline season 2, it’s aimed to be released on October 7th, which is surprisingly earlier than the first season’s release where it was late July. And October 7th being on Wednesday and I wish Girls’ Frontline season 2 would come out on my birthday, but oh well. I wonder if it’ll take about the same timeframe for the Japanese dub’s release, it came out on my birthday last year when the original Chinese dub came out in late July, so I might expect the Japanese dub of season 2 to come out in probably like Winter 2021 at best, we’ll see about that.

Even if I don’t religiously play Girls’ Frontline like I wanted to because I’m a big fan of guns, I wouldn’t mind playing Code Name Bakery, though. I may not fully understand the story in order but my Filipino friend would occasionally tell me spoilers and I don’t really mind that.

By the way, last year I made a shitpost video of Girls’ Frontline Healing Chapter but with Team Fortress 2 audio, now I finally made a new audio parody video but with a twist(ed metal)!

Osomatsu-san season 3 - October 12th: Just when I thought the future of the Osomatsu-san series would be over with the movie, but I’m glad my boys are still up and running! This is definitely gonna top Uzaki-chan as the better comedy of the year because Osomatsu-san has consitently given me a lot of laughs and delivers some really hilarious and bizarre moments.

Knowing that this is Osomatsu-san, wil it dare to even touch upon the topic of COVID-19 or something? There might be some scenes where the cast are doing a Zoom meeting, but they probably wouldn’t flat out say the name of the virus out loud, it’s very unlikely as I kinda find COVID-19 a somewhat sensitive topic and other media hasn’t or probably wouldn’t even try doing something about it.

Burn the Witch - October 2nd: I never really grew up nor care about Bleach, but I read the one-shot of Burn the Witch and I was intrigued by it, when the serialization was announced, I was excited because this series has potential, but there was a catch, this would be a short limited series for 4 chapters, so when I read the last chapter of the manga series, I was sad because the series has potential and it got wasted, but wait, it’s not entirely over yet, as this was only the “first season” and the manga series is getting a “second season.” Yeah, I have no idea how a manga having seasons even works, that doesn’t make sense.

Now here comes the film (or three-part episode series) and upon seeing the first trailer, I thought it would adapt the one-shot because that came out first, but as later trailers came out... It’s adapting the serialized series?! How long was this in the making?! How did the animators even get to read the four chapters of the serialized manga series before they were even released yet?!

Speaking of Bleach, there’s an upcoming new anime that’s adapting an arc, but like I said, I never grew up nor I care about Bleach, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Golden Kamuy season 3 - October 5th: Information on season 3 has been quite scarce for a while and hell, I have barely even watched the trailers, but at last it’s finally coming. As of the (re)writing of this post, September 29th, I finally managed to watch the OVAs and I forgot how hilarious and weird it can be and I love it.

Danmachi season 3 - October 2nd: Like Akudama Drive, this one was also originally gonna be released on Summer but was delayed because of COVID, I haven’t really talked about it more than I have with Akudama Drive because I’m the most excited for it.

Like Golden Kamuy, I happened to watch the recent OVA when season 2 ended and I haven’t seen the trailers at all. Man, I rarely watch OVAs nowadays. Also, speaking of the OVA, what did I just watch?!

D4DJ First Mix - October 30th: That’s right, this is ANOTHER Sanzigen produced anime of the year, Sanzigen has done it again, they’re absolutely killing this year. Anyways, I wanted to watch this for obvious reasons, but apparently I found out that this D4DJ franchise is a new property by Bushiroad, the publisher of the BanG Dream series, seems like Bushiroad has a soft spot for Sanzigen and I really can’t blame them.

Higurashi remake - October 1st: Starting the month off with a remake adaptation of Higurashi, lovely. I never grew up watching the original Higurashi anime, however, I do remember certain moments from the series... For the absolute worse. (1, 2). Yeah, that’s all I can remember. I really wish I could have binged the original series months ago, at least the first season because upon checking the Wikipedia, there’s a lot of other series and they’re just as long as the first one, there’s no way I would have survived all that binge-watching considering I have other things I’m heavily compromised such as my gacha gaming addiction, and yeah that was silly but I have nothing else to do in my spare time, with that being said about the binge-watching and consuming a lot of material, it would have been the time I binged all of Ikki Tousen for a week all over again.

I don’t know anything about the Higurashi visual novel, I don’t know if the original anime series was a good adaptation or not, I’ll probably let some VN royaltists tell me on this one, the 2000s were probably the time where VN adaptations were absolutely mediocre (which I can’t really say for sure because I don’t play VNs to even care to agree that the Tsukihime and Umineko anime are garbage), but I digress. If you couldn’t tell, the original Higurashi anime is that old, which I don’t understand why the need for an anime remake like at this time and what will it even do as an adaptation.

Watching the series is gonna be totally new to me, this isn’t like a Fruits Basket situation where I refused to watch the original anime series in favor of the remake, and by seeing some comparison videos, the remake is a million times far superior than the remake.

Guraburu! - October 8th: I don’t want to consider my older sister as my personal go-to Granblue Fantasy/Shadowverse/Bahamut source since whatever she says are her opinions and whatever which I wouldn’t always end up agreeing, even if she ends up saying that she hates the main Granblue Fantasy anime series. As for me, I found the first season decent, I liked the animation, but then the second season came and the animation is totally different and that gave me a huge sour taste in my mouth, just the visuals were enough to make me sick from the painful animation and I couldn’t care any single bit of it, and the fact that season 2 came out around the same time where other gacha game-based anime like Fate/Grand Order Babylonia and Azur Lane The Animation came out didn’t do any favors.

I don’t know if Girls’ Frontline or Granblue Fantasy are my blackest gacha game sheeps, I did have some decent experience with the game, I played the Christmas, the Persona 5 and the Detective Conan events (Though I didn’t finish the Conan event), I mostly opened the game for log ins but I occasionally went to do free rolls whenever those happened, lastly I played the campaign for a little bit but I stopped because the one chapter where I last played, I forgot what it was, but it required having a party with higher level and I couldn’t even beat a map once, so I gave up. I haven’t opened the game for a long time and I feel like I have pretty much retired from Granblue Fantasy. I wouldn’t like to try to follow my older sister in the shadows when it comes to Granblue Fantasy, Shadowverse or Rage of Bahamut any longer, so they’re totally out of my league.

My older sister seems rather optimistic about this series as it’s an adaptation of the game’s 4koma, going so far to say this would be “a million times better than the main anime series.”

Honestly I’m not feeling quite fond of these Cygames adaptations as a whole, they can be very hit or miss but the most important thing is whether they resonate with me or not, so I still end up watching everything anyways.

Also, we do not talk about the current Shadowverse anime because that is NOT the Shadowverse I know at all and I can’t believe it’s still going.

Attack on Titan: The Final Season - December 7th: Okay, I definitely did not expect quite a release date for the final season of Attack on Titan at all, it’s so weird that I even thought about whether or not I would classify this as a “Fall” anime and more like closer to the “Winter” season. I haven’t been following the news but my biggest question is, has the manga already ended? This wouldn’t be the final season if it wouldn’t adapt the entirety of the series finale as soon as the source material ended, kind of like Tokyo Ghoul:re.

Talentless Nana - October 4th: I already mentioned above that this is my only decent choice of day 1 anime to watch on my birthday, I’m just putting it here again for the sake of having the list complete.

Toji no Miko - Tomoshibi - October 25th, November 29th: Back when I first watched Toji no Miko back in 2018 (Wow, I already feel old), I found the series okay, they also released a mobile game at the time which I was like “Okay.” But for some reason as time went on I kind of grow to develop a negative aftertaste for the series, like it’s not very appealing or whatever. Then the Mini Toji series came out last year and it added fuel to the fire on my uninterest on the Toji no Miko franchise as a whole with Mini Toji leaving me a huge sour taste in my mouth, it wasn’t even funny, sometimes it was but most of it wasn’t.

I don’t want to associate Yoshinori Shizuma’s art heavily with Kancolle, but I even went so far thinking that Toji no Miko would be the Kancolle of swords or even a female Touken Ranbu of sorts but not exactly like Touken Ranbu, but it does nothing to help to gain interest.

I don’t know why I kind of feel that way towards the franchise, and after the mobile game’s release, I later thought Toji no Miko would become a failed franchise, so where we at now? Well, Toji no Miko is getting an OVA, but it’s not just a single OVA, it’s actually a two-part OVA, lovely. There’s just something about the series that makes me think it’s bland, it’s nothing special and whatever. I do think Yoshinori Shizuma’s character designs are nice, not great or rule 34 worthy but they’re okay at best, and that’s about it.

Mini Toji introduced the characters from the mobile game into the anime scene, and now the new OVAs are heavily based on the mobile game, but honestly, I prefer the characters from the anime series a million times better than the ones from the game, they’re rather forgettable.

You probably want to tell me that if I feel somewhat pessimistic about Toji no Miko, I should boycott the OVA, I’d like to but part of me tells me that maybe I shouldn’t blindly be a dick about it, so I guess I should give Toji no Miko one last chance. I wrote the release date just in case, I’ll probably forget about it anyways except there will be something that’ll make me remind the Toji no Miko OVA parts 1 and 2 will come out soon or have come out depending on the time.

(Speaking of Touken Ranbu, when the hell are we gonna get the new Touken Ranbu Hanamaru project? I recently read the news of the new Hanamaru project being in the works again to refresh my memory the last time I saw the news and it was from THIS JANUARY?! Holy crap, that was a really long time ago! I really hope this would resurface in 2021 and it might bring some interest in Touken Ranbu again, although this is Touken Ranbu and the fanbase are hardcore fujos so they’re still keeping the game alive in some way. I always thought the Touken Ranbu anime would now become dormant for some reason, especially when Ufotable is never gonna release the Katsugeki Touken Ranbu movie, they definitely must have ditched it in favor of more Fate and even Kimetsu no Yaiba. The Katsugeki Touken Ranbu film now is sitting next to Girls’ Work as Ufotable’s most infamous vaporware works.)

I guess that’s it for this post, I talked way too much about some of my most anticipated shows than others but it’s clear I do give a lot of thought into some of these things.

Anyways, I’ll see you later and don’t forget about my birthday!

Bendy And The Ink Machine Chapter 3

Now I've made my post about chapter 2 about my opinions okay wasn't much. Yet wanted to say more stuff here. Including forgot to mention this spoilers in case.

I enjoyed this chapter. It's very nice from the first chapter and just remembered this might as well mention it.

What I noticed in chapter 1 the jump scare with the Ink Demon and my encounter with it. It has more of an animation. While in the original it mainly stands there. Including Boris of how he looks. So I'm guessing the creator had updated the game even in chapter 2 well mainly the ending with Boris I think he has more moment.

But back to this. Seeing as the chapters progressed you get to do more stuff. Honestly that makes sense yet it makes playing the chapter worth it with more gameplay. This time and this took a while too.

Just getting this out of the way I died five times. From what I remember being attacked by enemies when having the shot whatever. Also the Ink Demon about three times. Including one time me being behind him and seriously he's fast he really is. Also the Butcher Gang being one of my deaths in the

Okay random shit my bro came in here singing some song some rap of fucking a girlfriend and he's going to work with my dad. Also just nothing much just I was surprised. Including when told him be safe he said say sexy. Okay the middle part he said good morning because I said good night first because he was sleeping sorry.

Yet yeah five deaths the 5th one being first time fighting the Butcher Gang and this time avoiding them more to give me time to heal.

What's interesting this one and just wanna say. Their just something that feels special of just in the game being with a cartoon character that's trying to help you. I was surprised of him following me. I'm talking about Boris. Including difficult a bit to look for soup that stuff that was in the earlier chapters. At first I thought I was gonna have to protect but that doesn't happen good.

Yet during the course of the game I'm like stay safe even though he's in elevator most of the time. But also one time I seriously said I love you man or whatever. Including telling him it's okay when he gets scared. Just it was nice. Including to have another character around and it's seriously a cartoon character brought to life.

Including I even said that's adorable or something seeing that him and Henry actually played games while in the safe house.

So I'll talk about this. Basically throughout the whole chapter mainly well your going there. You are helping out Alice Angel or yeah in a way.

I'm gonna reveal this before playing the chapter Alice Angel is basically my favorite. That's a whole other topic. Yet your getting things for her and her even calling you her errand boy.

Along with having different weapons and....to be honest okay some are more powerful. I'm guessing well their different weapons to kill enemies but not used much for anything else.

Now remembered this. I was excited to get the Tommy Gun turns out it won't hold or she's just fucking around with you. Seriously I said oh come on twice I think whatever.

Because I had seriously thought after all the work I did using different weapons and this last task possibly with a weapon I would feel comfortable with and I can't use it. Also maybe it might be difficult to program but I sound stupid saying that.

Was thinking basically I feel like just now I might be badass and have more of a chance to survive.

Including at one point I realized the last Bendy cut out and also at one time destroying a cut out the Ink Demon yet managed to make sure he didn't see me.

But realizing the last cut out was at the elevator and thought how am I gotta get there. Turns out I forgot to jump. So I got that down and yeah Boris was becoming scared and supposedly the Ink Demon was close when I destroyed that last cut out like just him being pissed.

What else to say but just the Projectionist I didn't die yet really had to be careful yet was never seen.

Now remembered this. This surprise and just I didn't watch the video remember I didn't wanna see any video of chapter 3. But Jacksepticeye saying he was in the game or whatever on one of his videos well the thumbnail.

I thought it might be someone who sounds like him and I even thought I might of heard it in chapter 1 or 2. But seriously hearing that voice I thought it was hilarious and laughed I think a bit during the recording or after. I listened to it a 2 time but didn't listen to the whole thing.

Yet it was honestly hilarious to actually hear Jack's voice in the game and basically part of official lore now. It's just something I feel I don't see or hear much shit like this.

Including the credits were interesting and confirmed that was Jacksepticeye but even DAGames was in there too and even fan songs. Honestly I didn't find those songs or whatever. Including some contest winners.

Now the ending and the after credits thing. Me I forgot or might of been me just saying Boris his name. Including me being weird can or just is the 4th chapter basically operation rescue Boris or something. A weird bro thing and just the only other thing in this game that didn't try to kill me or scarifice me.

Honestly again I really enjoyed that chapter as I think about it. Including I'm caught up now. Got tag done but yeah wanna reveal this.

Last night but whatever okay last night would make sense. I talked about how I wasn't obsessed with the game and just it's concept. Honestly I felt like I was but I didn't wanna spoil anything huge.

So yeah last night was watching those videos and think it was two nights ago I don't know sorry.

Basically catching up now I'm feel so took off the sentence of the night I played and or as the start of the looked when I said last night as the first thing. Basically glad I'm caught up and feel I can safely be in more of this fandom and shit like that.

But I think the best way to way the last two nights. I was slowly evolving as a fan of this franchise

yellin’ at songs, week thirty-six

considering the songs which debuted on the billboard hot 100 the weeks of 13 september 1997, 15 september 2007, and 16 september 2017

9.13.1997

1) "Honey," by Mariah Carey

You know, when I saw this was coming up, I started wondering why I didn't give "Honey" nearly as much spin as I give to other Mariah jams. 'Cuz I'll listen to "Always Be My Baby" on a cloudy day, I'll listen to "Fantasy" whenever the fuck, I give "Heartbreaker" a lot of love, but this song, I understood to be a classic, but it never quite tickled my fantasy, y'know? And it's not just Mase, though he certainly doesn't help, it's more that this is more mellow than the Mariah songs I've been into, more of a chilled-out thing and not a dramatic declaration of love. It's a simple, sweet ;) song, and I mean I shouldn't be grading this on the Special Mariah Scale (where every song is either an A or an Inspirational Balld), this honestly probably ends up being Song of the Week because it's still really damn good, we're just talking about a Mariah joint that doesn't make the Mariah Top 10.

55) "You Light up My Life," by LeAnn Rimes

...So this is late because I saw 10 Lil Uzi Vert songs and got discouraged. No one who doesn't want to should have to listen to Lil Uzi Vert. So I also dragged my feet on getting everything else written -- welcome to Sunday, September 10th, when I am considering after five days of trying to find a reason to justify piping that into my ears I'm realizing that at least Lil Uzi Vert has some sort of definable character which I've decided I'm not into. Am I thrilled to listen to a song called "444+222?" Absolutely not, that sounds Stupid, and I'm not sure why hip-hop is getting into the same Hot Topic Goth imagery even the goths were over in 2007, but at least there's a definable character there. I will come away from those ten songs (eh, fuck it, I'll listen to the album, I listened to Drake's whole bullshit) having learned something about Lil Uzi Vert as a person, and spending an hour with something I don't like is a more valuable experience than spending three and a half minutes feeling nothing.

75) "Jack-Ass," by Beck

I didn't like listening to this song but Beck wrote it himself and played all the instruments so that means it's a truer artistic statement with significantly more intrinsic value than anything else we'll be discussing today.

76) "It's Alright," by Queen Latifah

I looked up the film where this osng came from, just because I wanted to know what the hell Nothing to Lose was that it would get the "Not Tonight" remix and this song, and apparently the movie isn't very good, but it does feature John C. McGinley and Giancarlo Esposito in feature roles! The soundtrack also has a track from OutKast called "Everlasting," and I just, how does this film get an original from OutKast? What is this movie? Is this worth seeing? It doesn't look very good and I would have to pay to watch it but I need to see how this movie brought the "Not Tonight" remix into existence.

79) "Tubthumping," by Chumbawumba

This song is gloriously and loudly stupid, and while it's also shitty, it at least owns how stupid it is. It revels in its own inanity, and I dunno, I think it has a lot of pluck. It's a charming little ditty. I understand why people would enjoy shouting with this song.

86) "Legend of a Cowgirl," by Imani Coppola

You know what? I think "Honey" is a better song than this, but I'm gonna give this the Song of the Week title because I think Mariah Carey has enough accolades, and this is an incredibly impressive effort. Even without the video, you can get a clear sense of who Imani Coppola is as an artist from this song, hear what she intends to be, and it's really cool to hear a song this ambitious and distinct. I'm not gonna put it on the level of "Felton St," I don't think this is an essential forgotten classic, but this is the rare song that sounds like the artist and not the '90s, and given that I hadn't actually heard of Imani Coppola to this point, that's extremely impressive. Also I'm listening to a song called "Geeks" by Hailey Knox which Coppola evidently co-wrote, and it's pretty amazing, too. Imani Coppola! She's great! Anyway, let's listen to Shaquille O'Neal rap.

91) "Man of Steel," by Shaquille O'Neal, Ice Cube, B-Real, Peter Gunz & KRS-One

KRS-One on "Step Into a World (Rapture's Delight):" "Yo I'm strictly about skills and dope lyrical coastin/Relying on talent, not marketing and promotion" KRS-One on "Men of Steel:" "KRS-One is the nicest/Shaquille O'Neal definitely from Men of Steel" Still better than Kendrick's verse on "Bad Blood" tbh

92) "I'm Not a Fool," by Immature

When Immature came up a few months back, did we discuss the silliness of naming an R&B group made up of teens Immature? That's a terrible name for this boy band! I have trouble believing a serious emotional ballad from a group that reminds me at the top they're idiots. ...You're right, I wasn't making this criticism of Backstreet Boys, it's a '90s R&B slow jam, I've listened to heckin 40 of these, I am so incredibly out of things to say. I'm sorry. I tried to find an angle, but it’s clear I failed.

9.15.2007

43) "Wadsyaname," Nelly

Heading into this song, I recalled the era where Nelly was trying to be a throwback ‘50s-like musician. “Tiltcha Head Back” is one of the top songs of the era, and given that “Candyman” dropped earlier in the year, I thought we’d still be getting retro Nelly. ...No. No, that is very much not what happened here. We got Bland Forgettable Nelly. There is a reason I didn’t remember this song as strongly as “Tiltcha Head Back,” and that’s because it’s kind of the worst thing in the world. Like I’m not listening to the songs on headphones these week, I am blasting these through the speakers, and this is the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever played. And like I listen to Twitch streams and country music. I am more worried that people will think I like this song than I am people will think I’m a Trump voter.

73) "More Than a Memory," Garth Brooks

Can I talk about the video I found for this song? So Garth Brooks is one of few artists big enough to fight Google, and it doesn’t look like his music’s easily searchable on The Web. The only videos I could find for this song were covers and that video, which is just a dude pointing a camera at his dog for four minutes. It’s so beautiful. That’s the saddest dog in the world. I don’t know how the ending happened but the ending happens and it’s so perfect, this is such a good video, A+ YouTubing, sir. I am glad to be one in your march to a million views.

78) "Coffee Shop," Yung Joc ft./Gorilla Zoe

I knew I was gonna like this song when I saw a tuba in the background of the video thumbnail, and I knew I was gonna kinda love this song when the video began with Yung Joc making a real estate investment -- a wise decision, and it’s important that this video chooses to represent prudent financial transactions. And sure enough, this song is absolutely delightful. That is a hot Southern pop/rap beat, and Joc and Zoe are way more impressive on this song than they have been on their previous songs. The central metaphor is what it is, the song is basic as hell, but yo, I’ll take basic as hell over what I thought this song was gonna be.

81) "Baby Don't Go," Fabolous ft./Jermaine Dupri

I can kinda see how my mood would affect how I listen to this song. This is peak generic 2007 hip-hop, so on a bad day, I’d just be like “enh, whatever,” but this caught me on a good day, y’lknow? 1997 was pretty chill, 2007′s been good for us after the Nelly travesty, I’m willing to be charitable to this song, even if I didn’t actually notice it had ended until a CarMax ad started playing. Suitable background noise for this fine Sunday morning!

90) "Money in the Bank," Swizz Beatz

Well. ...Well. There went that. OH WAIT I DIDN’T REALIZE WE WERE GONNA PIVOT INTO SOMETHING AMAZING HOLY SHIT IS THIS PROTO-”FAMOUS” DID SWIZZ BEATZ JUST GIVE ME A TEST DID HE JUST SAY “IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE ME AT MY FIRST 90 SECONDS OF THIS SONG YOU DON’T DESERVE ME AT THE LAST 90 SECONDS OF THIS SONG” OK OK I GET WHY THIS SONG EXISTS YAS YAAAAAAS

93) "How Far We've Come," matchbox twenty

This is OK. I dunno, I don’t think the purpose of YAS is to give an extended defense of matchbox twenty, but I have always liked matchbox twenty, and I’m not gonna sit here and try to make some effort to be cooler than that. I’m nowhere near cool enough to try to pretend I don’t think this song is at least okay, nor am I cool enough that I can’t admit hearing this song about legacies and approaching the end of the world had some resonance with my fears for the present day. I’m a fuckboy in his late 20s who is sitting in an apartment listening to and being affected by matchbox twenty. Please listen to my Lil Uzi Vert opinions. They are amazingly valid.

96) "Livin' Our Love Song," Jason Michael Carroll

“Somethin’ like this just doesn’t exist/Between a backwoods boy and a fairy tale princess” I can think of at least 20 other songs where this exact thing exists. We’ll always have “Alyssa Lies.” No one, not even you, can take that away from us.

98) "Hate That I Love You," Rihanna ft./Ne-Yo

Call it the “Honey” effect: I understand this to be a great song, but I never feel quite motivated to revisit it on a regular basis, simply because it’s just mellow and subtle and all those things. This song is great -- I talk about the dearth of duets in modern music, but this is one of the modern greats, and it should be cherished for that fact alone, shouldn’t be judged so unfairly against... The only other Rihanna song I’m judging it against is “Umbrella,” I realize. Is this the second-best song in Rihanna’s entire catalogue? Am I gonna spend the rest of my life Rihanna did her best work in 2007? Team, I am worried I’m a “BACK IN MY DAY” fogey. I enjoyed a matchbox twenty song and I’m arguing that Rihanna’s past her prime. What is this. What am I doing with this post.

9.16.2017

31) "Jocelyn Flores," by XXXTENTACION 41) "Fuck Love," by XXXTENTACION ft./Trippie Redd 54) "Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares," by XXXTENTACION 77) "Revenge," by XXXTENTACION 91) "Depression & Obsession," by XXXTENTACION 94) "Save Me," by XXXTENTACION 95) "Carry On," by XXXTENTACION

Instead of listening to these songs, I’m going to link to this article.

39) "The Way Life Goes," by Lil Uzi Vert 49) "Sauce it Up," by Lil Uzi Vert 60) "444+222," by Lil Uzi Vert 79) "Neon Guts," by Lil Uzi Vert ft./Pharrell Williams 80) "Two," by Lil Uzi Vert 81) "X," by Lil Uzi Vert 92) "For Real," by Lil Uzi Vert 84) "UnFazed," by Lil Uzi Vert 90) "No Sleep Leak," by Lil Uzi Vert 92) "Dark Queen," by Lil Uzi Vert

So basically I put this album and then played an LttP rando, and then I continued playing the rando while two other albums played (heckin hookshot was in a dumb location), and now I don’t remember anything about these songs. Like, they weren’t unpleasant. Lil Uzi Vert isn’t as trash as I was anticipating, but there was nothing I was able to derive from his particular brand of dark trap that I couldn’t get from any of the billion other dudes making dark trap. Like, legit, “444+222.” Maybe I let a song title influence my opinion on the rest of the work, but that’s dumb and this music is dumb.

73) "What Lovers Do," by Maroon 5 ft./SZA

Like all Maroon 5 songs, this is acceptable

76) "Light it Up," by Luke Bryan

I am actually angry that this song called “Light it Up” dares to be mid-tempo. No. No, no, bro country, you wanna be about lighting it up, your beat should be lit. This is a bro country song about Snapchat and the word ‘truck’ is in the chorus and I can’t believe I managed to make time for this. How did 2017 win 13 weeks of this deeply stupid competition. Why was there a guitar solo? Why do these songs make time for guitar solos? What even is this genre?

97) "Tell Me You Love Me," by Demi Lovato

THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN “SORRY NOT SORRY” AND I AM BACK ON BOARD THE DEMI LOVATO TRAIN god damn like this week epitomizes 2017. Problematic people making shitty songs, miles of trap bullshit, not-unpleasant island vibes, awful country, and then a strong woman with a brass backing coming to save us all. My favorite genre of 2017 music is “young woman triumphantly belting over an army of horns,” and Demi Lovato has made my favorite version of that song yet. Hell yeah, man. I am incredibly into this. This single-handedly salvaged the 2017 leg, even if I had to put myself through a whole Lil Uzi Vert thing.

Who won the week?

Though I mean the whole Lil Uzi Vert and Luke Bryan of it all makes it impossible for Demi Lovato to win, like I’m not about to look at a 1997 that gave us “Honey” and “Legend of a Cowgirl” and say “No. XXXTENTACION’s such a broken beautiful soul.” It’s 1997.

Current standings: 1997: 13 2007: 11 2017: 12 Next week, I have no idea what any of the four songs 1997 has to offer are gonna be, we’re gonna talk about Alicia Keys and Britney and Good Charlotte from 2007, and oh boy new Tay Tay and Sam Smith so excited really can’t wait to sink into those f’real those are probably gonna be greaaaaaaaaaat songs i’ll enjoy forever Next week’s standings: 1997: 13 2007: 12 2017: 12 I mean what’s the point of pretending

So Disney Bought Fox

Well basically it's not 20th Century Fox anymore it's 21st Century Fox....okay I'm gonna be honest and will tag this. I had found out about this information on Tumblr and liked some posts that I'll reblog after this. But I didn't wanna talk about it because of a therapist also even at one point told her Disney are slowly taking over everything and I think Disney bought Fox that's what I told her.

Yet I wanted to see a video by TheFilmJunkee and it's just fucking hilarious. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQN6aZdNgC4 I watched the video twice and well before the 2nd time I looked at some comments. Including before hand spoilers before I watched video I pressed the back button then I heard a song and clicked on the video again.

Including what's amazing the image seen in the video it's on Tumblr and it just makes me laugh now. Including rewinded just that part of him drinking and the song. Even after that I went didn't wanna watch videos but comments below a Hybrid Network video but not the biggest fan these days. Including trying to find out who wrote that Simpsons episode almost left the word Disney.

Turns out the guy who wrote the episode it's named, "When You Dish Upon A Star". The guy is still alive because seriously how in the hell are these predictions just what the fuck. I'm hearing Dave's voice from TheFilmJunkee reading this.

Yet okay I'll get to the main topic. But I wanna mention this and forgot to mention as the first thing. But I feel the other stuff is important. That joke yet actual concern from one of my posts. I said to myself twice the fear of Disney buying the rights to the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise in a way relates to this crap.

But just forgot stuff and.... basically I'll be more detailed and talk about my opinions on this.

Also seriously those comments trolls just can't let people fucking enjoy other shit that isn't the God damn MCU. I even yell at the comments and say you would be doing the same thing is Marvel was in DC's place. Just saying I like the DCEU while disappointed at Justice League because some shit done to the film just shook some seconds.

Also I remembered writing that paragraph now remember again. I was seriously thinking why was this December 14th date to buy Fox so close to Star Wars The Last Jedi close....listen contracts are different. Including this stupid idea I mean Disney has a lot of money so Star Wars can't make the amount of money if possible to pay I mean it's already payed. Yet read on those Tumblr posts it will be finalized.

Also the net neutrality guys I'll still talk about this too don't worry. I honestly wanna talk about this now I will get to the main subject of it.

I did not like the idea of Disney buying Fox. While I'm not the biggest fan of Fox. I've talked about stuff like competition and diversity in films like different genres. But basically competition I've heard helps.

But what sucks my friend okay I'll mention him @fatpinkraccoon423 just it seems like I couldn't word it right or be very meaningful about the idea. Yet he seems I forgot to like it or not care okay I forgot. Because I wanna be honest. Yet he said quite some critical things on the comic book movie genre.

Including I've had mention at times I seriously don't like Disney. This mainly started last year and increased this year. Because of Gravity Falls ending but it's creator choose to end the series but I never watched the finale.

Yet over time with Wander Over Yonder being cancelled before a season 3. My dislike towards Disney increased. While I enjoyed films like Zootopia, The Jungle Book, Moana, and the new Beauty And The Beast these two years or some shit.

Also my disliking towards the MCU and how it was handled. While just I sound stupid saying this about the DCEU but now I understand. It had problems including Warner Bros fucking up some of the films with Justice League being a very big case of that. Yet I like what those films are doing. Still haven't seen Suicide Squad have the movie and Justice League should have the Snyder cut.

I mean seriously the MCU films can be quite enjoyable. I'll say this I saw Spider-Man Homecoming three times this year and that was a MCU film but released under Sony's stuff.

Including all the shit people some MCU fans or just trolls can't just fucking accept some people don't like the MCU and how they approach their films. I will say they are doing a more safe route but I'm not on board with that shit.

Seriously I haven't gave a shit about cartoons like Star Vs The Forces Of Evil because I don't care sometimes after season 1 and possibly this happened close to Gravity Falls ending. While I enjoyed Milo Murphy's Law because of a post I've decided to not watch any Disney related channel unless it's on TV somewhere and I don't care, or when my cousin T's baby girl my niece basically is here.

I even haven't seen the new DuckTales reboot because I'm still pissed off and my thing of not watching any Disney related.

Even though I have thought a times should I watch it but no yet at times I think I forgot. I've even thought maybe liking the custom character in Sonic Forces might help me with that but no. Along with the other time I'll watch a Disney related channel if Wander Over Yonder is on. It only happened on a weekend and that sucks okay oh head I mean I should be grateful the fact we had three nights of episodes with Sunday basically being almost all day. But it just sucks I missed the first night.

But now to more important things. Despite I've seen thumbnails and read comments. I don't fucking want Disney to even try to mess certain properties.

The biggest ones being well I'm not the biggest fan of the X-Men franchise. Yet I did like Deadpool but any film that Marvel and is R rated don't mess with that crap.

But I did support the idea of Fantastic Four being in the MCU because after all the shit that happened. They need a better movie and I think the Fantastic Four are cool. Including they be better probably in the MCU.

Now wanna say before I talk about other franchises. I've thought to myself why bought Fox then I thought of that Streaming service they wanna do after departing from Netflix and shit. To own some tv shows and shit.

So now I'll talk about the other franchises. We have Avatar now. As in the film from 2009 and just a little note for Disney Infinity sorry to mention some concept art or something their were plans for some Avatar figures. Yet the franchise wasn't bought. Honestly I'm not the biggest fan. Really it's a franchise I don't care and Disney can have it possibly.

Then we have the Planet Of The Apes franchise, again not the biggest fan. Yet with the recent films I've haven't seen Dawn or War but seen Rise. I thought Rise was a good film saw that film three times yet well yeah with friends and shit. The other two sound great but haven't seen much of the originals but I guess some of the original film or I don't know if I've seen all of it. Honestly just it has it's fans and I don't know what to say. In fact I feel kind of bad about saying that Avatar just does it still have a fanbase. Seriously again I don't like the film much sorry okay I wanna get to this part.

The Alien and Predator franchises. Including yesterday I had talked about that gameplay video from Ghost Recon Wild Lands and that Predator stuff they added. I seriously praised it.

But it's those two I worry about and I haven't seen AVPGalaxy as of now. I looked on it some days ago. Their were no news about the Fox and Disney merging thing. I'm wondering if now they will talk about it.

These are two film franchises I like. I'm excited for the Predator film next year. But I'm worried and even saw a Hybrid Network video on this. My worst fears were they would cancel both series of films. I'm gonna say both franchises have their ups and downs. Yet just the addition of new films is sometimes nice. Including video games and such.

I'm gonna mention this the thumbnails and comments I mentioned I forgot saying they will still do R rated stuff okay now I looked I didn't mention it at that one part.

Including I don't know just if this official Fox has a lot of stuff. Is that they have DreamWorks which I was very surprised by. Unless I'm wrong correct me please. Also Blue Sky now I remember. Including was thinking of talking about this in a status update on Deviantart.

Looked at my last paragraph. Honestly I was thinking if it's the way I think and that God damn Simpsons prediction and shit. Is that 20th Century Fox or 21st Century Fox I wanna call them 20th Century instead of this weird shit I'm being stupid or whatever.

But if the films release under their banner yet their still connected to Disney also this talk about Touchstone films and some shit and others. I'm some what fine or....I don't want Disney interfering with this shit.

Including I just don't wanna everything to be God damn jokes and whatever. Sorry I just wanna make this and sometimes hear my own voice and now TheFilmJunkee's or whatever.

I'm just seriously don't want Disney to fuck shit up. Just thought Disney should of bought Sony yet thought oh shit PlayStation and shit.

Got tags done and they still have a 20th Century Fox tag nice I mean it wouldn't be gone. Also almost left tags as rags.

Just Disney don't fuck shit up. I mean okay these are my random opinions and I wanted to share these

#disney #20th century fox

Sonic Forces In One Day

1:46 am well was trying to think of a good title. One that would make sense and did time change but just I've been thinking. I mentioned in my last post about Sonic Forces related stuff oh water eyes just drinks.

Mainly such as two okay it's 1:47 am now and I had ideas for two posts. But I feel their were so much and just...I felt like I needed to share the amount of stuff I was thinking. I was gonna make one after I turn off my laptop. But I feel I have to make this or some shit.

Including I wanna mention this. I thought of this I suppose hours ago. Because I was watching Knight Of The Wind he's a Sonic related and I seriously recommend him to anyone who likes Sonic it's been a while since I've seen his content. It's mainly the ones about Sonic Forces. I watched these I...okay I'm trying to be honest yeah if I remember right in order, "Where The Hell Is Blaze", "Bad Voice Acting", "Opinions And Controversy" had to go on Google and look at his videos list now, and let me look, "Final Thoughts Before Release" and it's no spoilers.

But during I guess maybe the first time also be being weird I'm like going to at his Blaze video and being all bullshit.

Yet I thought of this and....this I want it to relate to something I feel that happened. To be honest seriously if the custom character Buddy almost left Bubby something or a character I've been shitting on ever since it was first announced.

If the custom character.....Buddy in a way I don't wanna spoil Gears Of War 3. But this is what sparked this up. If Buddy dies and Sonic mainly modern Sonic is torn apart by this.

Including if Buddy does something that helps Sonic and the resistance but it results in him dying.

I was seriously thinking this music I gonna find it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hW93CV6m-JU found it and went back to Knight Of The Wind's channel nice just....the last or just I feel during towards the end of the last video about his final thoughts. Even said in my head they helped me.

But just...during I guess towards the end I thought to myself that I remember now. Seeing him mainly happy he's excited. While I'm excited yet I hate the custom character so much. I thought to myself and thought I think okay....let go of the hate towards the custom character. Then felt like crying. I had a new Diet Dr. Pepper I have two of them finished one and was drinking that with the popcorn.

Yet honestly yeah and I even said I am a child when I pressed his username below his video.

Basically just....we are now officially a day before Sonic Forces comes out.

I should just talk about the game.

The stuff I've been thinking about. Honestly I even thought this and remember I've said this before this has been an emotional rollercoaster for me.

From being interested when finally seeing the trailer months later I made a journal about it on Deviantart yeah it was months later I wasn't in the Sonic mood. Then over time I got more excited even thinking I knew or hoped what the game would be about such as the third character not awesome oh head about that character. Then when it turns out the theory of it being a custom character was revealed.

Alright had to yeah tv back working this 4 hours no activity shit but seriously when it was revealed I snapped in a way. My excitement went very down. Then over time I got excited again including the villains trailer and Infinite with his theme song. Hearing now in that Blaze video from Knight Of The Wind again after months or some shit.

Then just it went up and down, and seeing more stuff. Even me ignoring the tag team trailer for I guess some weeks or I forgot how long and seeing the story trailer and being disappointed.

Now we have links and I made a post. Or two posts basically and me being upset and became in more favor of a 10th anniversary remastered version of Sonic Unleashed for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Basically all next gen systems wanted to be clear on that sorry oh head I'm saying too much.

But yeah just.....I've talked about this a bit. Yet not much on Deviantart okay I just thought maybe I should copy this and post this on Deviantart.

In a way basically no I'm sorry I'm talking about my experience of waiting for this game. I thought of this maybe two hours again or just one or so.

This I feel is similar to what's happening with the DCEU. It may sound stupid and I'm still kind of new. Basically what I mean is people praise Wonder Woman a shit ton. A film that surprised me and over time I decided to rethink my opinions about the DCEU.

Now Justice League is coming soon and ever since last year that film has been dealing with so much shit. Such as rumors, news that's fake and just seriously. Including just I shouldn't say other stuff. But okay the tragedy that happened with Zack Snyder and people saying Joss Whedon took over the film fully when he's just finishing some final touches.

A weird comparison.

Sonic Mania is Wonder Woman and Sonic Forces is Justice League.

While I'm excited for Justice League and hope for the best. Even if I've heard some good stuff about it. My head says random negative shit. I'm hoping the film seriously gets some praise. Because just I feel it would be for the best. Yet I'll give my own opinion and like it however it is. If I don't like it fine if I do like it that's good that's awesome. Or even a ultimate edition like BVS which helped me a lot.

Yet right now just Sonic Forces hasn't been dealing with the amount of shit Justice League has been dealing with and that's good. But it's not all safe. Basically just waiting and Sonic Mania being a great game. Despite the fact I haven't played it since my friend @fatpinkraccoon423 yeah gonna mention him beware of his account he's very gay. I wanna message on here and say something about Sonic Forces is tommorow like that Game Of Thrones winter is coming meme.

Sonic Forces is coming....it's coming here people...not sexually you can laugh it can be silly.

Yet honestly I haven't played Sonic Mania because of Flying Battery zone I'm just seriously don't like that final boss and it's the one from what I remember where people thought was Eggman's daughter or some shit. When really it's not. Also the fact I feel like I'm bad at Sonic games I can't be.

Basically even at times I feel the praise and some stupid praise the whole hasn't been a good Sonic game in 23 years which is bullshit almost left 24. I remember a comment not a bad one probably below the intro scene for Sonic Mania. About how Sonic Forces will really need to outdo Sonic Mania or was it a video talking about the bullshit reviewers wait. 2:27 sorry can't find it I even thought it might be a waste of time but its a good video on how it was bullshit the whole best good Sonic game in 23 years.

Basically just....I even thought this and which is why I mentioned I was looking up Sonic Unleashed on Wikipedia. I was looking at the scores and also did read some comments below those videos I mentioned a top. No spoilers good.

I adore Sonic Unleashed a shit ton. I'm one of the people who seriously likes the game. It has mixed reviews yet my feelings towards it are very positive. Despite scores being better for Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations. I personally feel Sonic Unleashed is my favorite next gen Sonic game and I remember the PS3 version the one I play and adore. That has 54/100 by I don't know who I just saw it on Wikipedia. I've even had thoughts of getting it on Xbox 360 but that's another story.

Including from some comments I read and seriously thumbnails nothing big but seriously people more it seems or just they have gotten the game early which sucks said in my head stop it. Seriously what the fuck I thought right now.

Yet it has some nice scores, mixed it seems and I'm thinking so possibly a bit, and it's flawed as fuck but fun.

I've been thinking just Sonic games. Even for games people won't like their are things I really like about them. Whether it's story or even gameplay or other stuff.

Including just that might as well happen to Sonic Forces the same way. My own personal thoughts like I've said no it doesn't suck seriously negative shit in head. It's gonna be my opinion only and I should not be affected by other people's views I seriously shouldn't.

Listen this is random post it's me babbling and rambling and shit. I even thought seeing Knight Of The Wind's videos might wanna check Sonicguru after school.

Including I have school on Tuesday I even thought an hour ago or so should I take a sick day yet if I'm actually sick or close to it. Also I will start to download at night.

Okay this is me rambling I don't talk much about the game yet it's me and I thought of this talking about my experience waiting.

The gameplay looks nice and awesome and just other stuff the characters and I said gameplay.....this just....might count but just...that custom character. Basically Tuesday is gonna be a day where character development of myself might happen....

Think I should say it almost left like it. But honestly I feel I might expect to like it. Yet I just remembered that idea of Buddy dying. Also found out about this Network shit from Knight Of The Wind and didn't see this video something of a character dying even though it might not be serious.

Yet when I thought of that whole idea no doesn't suck stop...said perfect in head. I thought I hated this custom character so much. But I get so emotional over this Buddy character if this idea happens. Then thinking I should of been a lot nicer and just less harsh no just...said it sucks in my head....

Sonic Forces is a game that's something I'm just....an experience. As a fan who's passionate about the franchise. Including just my first time waiting for a Sonic game with my own hopes. It didn't happen much with Sonic Generations because I was younger and just was excited. But when your my friend and you tell me my head almost left friend....but my mind being wrapped in head canons and just 4 years without a main Sonic game. We have Sonic Mania that's sweet man. Yet Sonic Forces was a game I was always wondering and excited about... thought cool in my head.

Honestly this isn't like Knight Of The Wind's final thoughts video where I talk about or just....I did talk about the game. Yet in a different way. Basically me being serious. Because I'm worried, being cautious, probably scared, excited as all fuck. It's been some very long months. Also a year I left the word gear. But a year since it's announcement said awesome in my head.

I think with me talking and shit I want to have the best and hope for the best. Still haven't put that heroes and villains theme on said said sweet in head. Forgot what else but....also don't know how to switch my icon just...stop with the random feelings.

I'm feeling both positive and negative about the game no it can't suck.....just....I'm very sorry this is very long. Because it's been so many months.

I just want a good or even great game. I'm being paranoid as all fuck my Autistic mind just saying and just waiting for this game. Including me worrying I've been acting like a child, I've been overreacting and paranoid about this game. Yet I'm still very excited for it. It's been quite some time and it's tomorrow where just can I say this too.

Seriously even some spoilers I've read. A part of me doesn't wanna believe them. They were from that streaming thing that the Sonic I think YouTube channel did. That it was the first half or some shit. I'm gonna experience the game myself and see what it is like.

I seriously don't believe some of the spoilers or I'm being stupid because I just seriously wanna play the whole game now. Which is why I wanna avoid many spoilers. Despite what people are saying bullshit it must be from that streaming thing from the Sonic YouTube page.

It might happen but I really hope I like the game. Might happen yet I'm just paranoid and this is becoming weird. Yet just.... Tuesday is gonna be a weird day I presume because I'm finally gonna give my first impressions on the game. Not a review I'm not finishing a game in a day. I should hope for the best despite what my mind says. Almost put I again but I almost forgot to copy this. Fuck it I would have to copy every paragraph fuck this shit man.

I'm sorry and got tags done. I just hoping I like the game might honestly seems like just.... I just this game got me thinking a lot. I remember I'm sorry of being in the tags. Yet just honestly I want the best and just my head....I'm mixed paranoid and hope for the best 2:59
