Then - Winter break, December

Going to The Hideout the last day of term was tradition. A celebratory drink to kick off the festivities of winter break (mostly sleeping in, if you were being honest) and relax a bit. Unfortunately, that was not in the cards tonight. As Steve quickly found out at the bar.

“Funny seeing you here Harrington,” he says, sipping from his pint glass. “Would’ve throught the two of you’d be cozied up by now.”

“Look man, I don’t want any trouble,” Steve says, signaling for the bartender, “Just ordering drinks and I’ll be on my way.”

He pauses, considering Steve’s words. A scoff as he shakes his head, “Course she didn’t tell you, figures.”

Steve ticks his jaw, fuse growing shorter and shorter the longer he stands here with him. He should’ve just sent Robin to get the drinks. 

“Not at all curious why we broke up?”

That about tears it. 

He turns to your ex, appraising him in his drunken stupor. “No offense,” he spits, “But I could give a fuck about your excuse for putting her through all that.” 

“Mm, I see.” He signals for another drink, “Guess it doesn’t matter the reason, as long as you get yours, eh?”

“Excuse me?”

Kyle sets the drinks down in front of Steve, staying close to keep an eye on the situation. Steve nods in thanks.

“Well,” he sighs, grabbing the drinks in both hands, “I would say it was nice talkin’ to ya, but we both know that’s a lie.”

He’s halfway back to the table when he hears it, a snide voice ringing out from the bar: “Told her it’s ‘cause I didn’t want your sloppy seconds.”

Steve stops short, beer sloshing over the glasses where they’re balanced between his hands. Robin sees as he girts his teeth, jaw strained. She hops up from the booth and takes the drinks from him, nods when he says, “Keep her distracted or get her out of here.”

The bar isn’t silent by any means, but the regulars know enough to be wary as Steve turns on his heel and slowly walks toward the man in question. “What was that now?”

His voice is soft, just loud enough for it to pique your ex’s interest. He turns toward Steve, smirk fixed on his face. “Too many knocks to the head Harrington? I said—“

Thumb tucked over his fingers and knees slightly bent, like your dad taught him, Steve’s fist collides with the man’s jaw before he can finish the sentence, liquor and spit spilling from his mouth. He stumbles back against the barstools, attempting to stand back up.

“Think that’s last call for you,” Kyle says, sliding the bill toward him, voice gruff. “Close out and leave.”

His eyes narrow as he wipes his mouth, hand coming away bloody. “Considering the circumstances,” he spits on the floor, saliva tinted red, “I think you’ll find my tab comped for the trouble.”

Steve remains where he is, both stunned by his own actions and terrified for any retaliation. Kyle looks from the man in front of him to Steve and back to the booth where Robin is struggling to restrain you. 

“Considering the circumstances, I think you’ll find yourself banned from The Hideout.” He sighs, exasperated, “Come back to fuck around and find out,” he warns eyeing you as you make your way toward them, “And I’ll let Trouble finish the job.”

He takes the hint, shrugging into his jacket as he walks toward the door. “Sorry sweetheart,” he calls out mockingly, “I tried. Seems like Harrington just can’t take a hint!”

“Hey, fucko!” 

You’re in the middle of it before Robin or Steve and wrangle you back - one hand fisting his jacket, knuckles turning white as the shirt beneath, teeth bared and glinting in the light. Your nose is pressed up against his, voice biting and acidic when you hiss, “You feeling brave today?”

Steve is suddenly reminded of that fact that you played roller derby in college. And you were scary good. Not just the skating and endurance, but the shit-talking and intimidation tactics, too. The occasional brawl. He swallows audibly, earning a look from Robin.

Shocked silent, your ex shakes his head furiously and you exhale, satisfied with the response. 

Slowly, your fist uncurls, leaving a wrinkled shape of your fingers and thumb in a vengeful imprint. With a calm smoothing of your palm, you press the jacket flat and leave the bar without another word.

Eddie finds you in the parking lot as he’s walking in to The Hideout. Shivering in the cold as the adrenaline leaves your body. Coat left behind in the booth, your wrap your arms around yourself for warmth. 

He drops his jacket around your shoulders and turns you around. “Hey killer,” he greets with a soft smile. “Wanna go for a drive?”

You nod as he leads you to his car, opening the door for you to slip in. You’re reeling from the confrontation with your drunk ex-fiancé and the fact that Steve punched him–holyshit–and then bartender Kyle banned him.

What the actual fuck.

Eddie is quiet as he pulls onto the main drag, fingers tapping along with the beat of the music. You’d wager Metallica or Dio, but it sounds an awful lot like—

“Jeremy spoke in class today,” Eddie warbles out in his best Eddie Vedder impression. 

It’s enough for you to crack a smile at the ridiculousness of it all. To be fair, it was a truly terrible impression, a disservice to both Eddie as a singer and the frontman of Pearl Jam.

“There it is,” he says, noticing your smile, “Knew you didn’t stand a chance against 90s grunge.”

He turns on a county road just outside of town, ignoring the notifications piling up on his phone. Eddie has half a mind to ask you to text Rob for him, but thinks better of it.

You’re still quiet, taking in the frosted scene outside of Hawkins. He still finds it odd that you can be this quiet, much more accustomed to your general vibe of chaos and a complete lack of impulse control. 

“Steve punched him,” you say, seemingly out of the blue, as Eddie comes to a stop by the lake. “My ex, I mean. Just popped him on the jaw after he started talking shit.”

“Huh.”

The car still thrums with heat, as you sink down into the seat closing your eyes. “I wasn’t close enough to really hear what he was saying,” you continue, “Rob was basically yelling in the booth and showing me these dumb TikToks at like, the loudest her volume could go.”

Eddie nods, knowing she was doing her best to distract you, probably at Steve’s request. 

“Then, the next thing I know, he’s back against the barstools and Steve’s winding up for another shot.”

“And you tried to stop it?”

“Yeah,” you open your eyes tiredly. “I hadn’t seen him since…” you trail off and look out the window again, “I don’t know why I did that, confronted him, I mean.”

“Did it help?”

Eddie watches as you pause, searching for the words that will somehow have this all make sense.

A slow shake of your head, “No, not really. I just wanted it to stop.”

He hums in agreement, fingers drumming against the steering wheel. 

“Why do you think he did it?”

Your voice is soft, you look so small tucked against the seat, his jacket nearly swallowing you. Eddie sighs for lack of a response, and shrugs.

“Dunno, sweetheart,” he reaches for your hand and gives it a squeeze because he knows why Steve did it, he’s always known. But he can’t say shit to you about it.

He starts the car up once more, suggests something like Dairy Queen, which you readily take him up on (“Ice cream in December, fuck me up, man.”). 

You’re quiet once more which allows him to ponder exactly why Steve decided to deck your asshole ex-fiancé. 

And all he can circle back to is that god damn lab project he and Steve had back in high school, when Steve was with Nancy but, hand to god, would not look at, talk to, or breathe in Eddie’s general direction for a month after he’d learned you’d lost your virginity to him.

Poor Robin had to mediate the entire thing.

So, yeah. Eddie knows why Steve is the way he is about you. He’s known before Steve could figure it out for himself. 

The stubborn idiot was in love with you, had been half in love with you since god knew when, and had realized it, too little, too late.

Over the next few days, random thoughts and memories are fleeting through your mind and come seemingly without prompting. Just little things, you’re not sure why you’ve fixated on them. 

The conversation you had with Eddie as he painted your nails at the cabin, for example. Talking about high school and the stupid shit you’d gotten up to. Specifically, the pact: you and Eds, your parents away on business, and an empty house.

“Yeah, but I gave my v-card to you Eds,” you say, the scent of nail polish invading your nostrils.

“Pfft, on a technicality.”

You sputter indignantly, “Whaddya mean by that?” Shooing him away from your nails to blow them dry, “I give you the greatest gift I have to give and you swoop in and take a dump on me like that?!”

He laughs, moving onto your next hand, brush dipping back into the bottle of polish. “Yeah, such a travesty,” he teases you, “Everyone else has to get a sweater, huh?”

“Fuck off for real chump,” you grouse, “You should be so lucky.”

“I know babe, you’re always a delight.”

It was nice, all things considered; you wouldn’t change a thing. Steve was weird for a bit afterwards, but other than that no notes. 

Eddie was good like that, your resident fuckbuddy and “safe dick” during the lulls in your respective romantic lives.

Or when Nancy, slightly sloshed after dinner, pointed out something during the bonfire later that same trip. 

“C’mon babe,” Nancy tuts, sipping from her glass of wine, “You and Steve have been orbiting each other for years.”

“We’re friends!” you defend, voice a scoff, “Just friends.”

Nancy laughs, sets her glass down on the table. “Whatever you’ve gotta tell yourself, Trouble,” she stands and stretches, blanket falling from her shoulders. She sets you with a look, a fond one tinged with concern. “But friends don’t look at each other like that.” Nods to where Steve and Eddie sit across the firepit from you.

It’s there and gone in a split second; for a fleeting moment, Steve looks at you hung the moon or something. The next, his eyes shift back to Eddie, nodding along with whatever he’d said.

Huh, you think, that’s … different.

Nancy throws the blanket over her arm and grabs her glass, ready to head in for the night. Crouches beside you, hand settling against your shoulder, head bent close to yours, “He’s never stopped that,” her breath brushes against your heated skin.

“Stopped what?”

She smiles, firelight illuminating the fond pull of her lips, “Looking at you like you’re the only star in the sky.”

These are the thoughts that torment you and bring up other instances you hadn’t considered as significant before: Steve designating you as his plus one for nearly every family function he’d been drug to, your parents looking at the pair of you with knowing smiles despite your insistence of “just friends,” Mrs. Harrington knowing you by name and Nancy as “the Wheeler girl,” your exes being perpetually possessive over you and jealous of Steve. 

The list goes on and on.

It’s as if everyone was privy to knowledge that you didn’t have.

God. Had you really been so blind?

Curled up on the night before Christmas Eve, or Christmas Eve-Eve as Robin insisted, sweater paws and blankets abound. Eddie and Robin were visiting their families, and Nancy had the usual Wheeler festivities. Leaving you and Steve alone at the loft, Steve’s parents opting to vacation somewhere warm while yours visit your brother in New Mexico. Cookies had been baked, flour and frosting still dusting the counters; a panoply of colors and sprinkles. 

It’s a Wonderful Life played softly in the background, black and white images flitting across the screen. Somewhat a secret tradition between the two of you, watching the holiday classic without the usual obnoxious running commentary.

Your hand finds his chest in excitement, “This parts my–” 

“Favorite,” he drawls, “I know, honey.”

Steve’s hand drops from your shoulder to nudge your face back to the screen, fingers caressing your jaw, the high point of your cheek, “If you don’t look now, you’re gonna miss it.”

His eyes flit back up to the film, but you can’t bring yourself to look away from him. 

Lips moving along and whispering George Bailey’s lines: “What is it that you want Mary? Whaddya want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.”

Your hand reaches up and presses against his stubble, scratching your palm. Its familiar scrape has rested upon your head countless times. You could cry as you push back the errant hair that’s fallen across his face, returning the gestures he’s always done for you.

And in that moment, it all falls into place.

“Hey, that’s a pretty good idea,” you rasp, picking up where he left off. “I’ll give you the moon, Stevie.”

Your bare legs peak out from underneath the blanket, one hand on your thigh, the sleeves of his stolen sweatshirt loose and engulfing your fingers. The hollow of your throat taut from holding your breath – it makes him want to touch you. It makes him want you. 

He’s sick. He’s dying. He is so, so fucked.

“What...” he trails off, thought gone before he’d even begun. 

He feels split open, like the sky after a storm. Torn up completely, unable to grasp anything in his own turbulence. All because you’re looking at him like you’ve realized something.

Fuck.

You’ve always been an oblivious idiot, too stubborn for your own good, a dumbass with no survival instincts, heart on your sleeve. He’s counted on that to conceal his big, fat, stupid crush on you. And it had worked, all throughout high school, college, and the devastating news of your engagement.

Worked like a charm, up until it didn’t. And now he’s caught out, your scope trained on him like he’s a lone stag in an open field. You’ve lined up the shot, all that’s left is to pull the trigger.

Steve doesn’t think he can bear it.

“Don’t,” he pleads into the silence, head tipped up to the ceiling, eyes screwed shut in pre-emptive heartbreak. “Don’t say it–”

“Then I won’t,” you say before miming locking your lips and throwing away the key. Calm and patient as you settle your way into his lap again.

He’s terrified and dizzy, fumbling with a million different outcomes and failing each time. Relationships have never quite worked out for him; too stupid, too jealous, too little, too late. 

Steve had gotten better; dated a few girls, and liked them a lot too, but they never worked out how he’d planned. And this one–this one, he really can’t fuck up.

Your lashes are so long and pretty. The curve of your cupid’s bow, a shape he adores. Even the tiny scar on your chin and the way your hair shifts— wavy strands framing your face. 

Steve’s mind blessedly stills as your lips brush his — warm and eager, coaxing his own to move at your touch, “Stop thinking Steve,” your breath fans across his lips, “And just kiss me.”

It’s surreal. He’s there, in one sense, with you curled up in his lap, watching as you press against him—palms to his chest, hips slotting against his own. 

But Steve is also recalling nights at the cabin, back in November. You, idiot that you are, without pajamas and wearing one of his shirts instead, legs bare underneath the covers. He’d woken up every day of that god forsaken trip pressed against you, sleeping better than he had in months, and painfully aware of his hard on against the perfect curve of your ass.

And you, thankfully, had never said a thing about it. And he’d never brought it up; he was mindful to give you space and extricate himself as quietly as possible before an icy cold shower.

Steve feels like he’s in two places at once, the same inscrutable emotion suspended across space and time. 

“It’s just me.” You say, comfortable and lighthearted. “You know me.”

Your eyes glimmer, a familiar color and gaze calling him home. 

“Yeah,” he chokes out, “Yeah, I do, honey.” 

He’s scared to death, terrified and dizzy. Because Steve’s known for a while now, this is it for him. You are it, alpha and omega, beginning and end, as above so below. And it’s not at all how he thought it would be.

It’s quiet and hesitant, the seconds stretching into horrible eons of passing time. You tilt your head this way and that, eyes tracing his face.

The knowing is what gets him. He’s never been one for genre conventions, more comfortable with the reliability of indisputable fact. And he’s flummoxed to learn that two things can be true at the same time.

It’s everything and nothing like the writers, artists, and visionaries say. Steve is in love with you: fact. Some part of him has known this since you scaled his fence, mistaking it for yours, as you tried to sneak back in your house after missing your curfew all those summers ago: fact.

Love at first sight, even though it’s not quite first sight at all. 

It’s fleeting glances across crowded hallways, laughs echoing from classrooms, waking up in a daze having dreamt of you, last minute road trips and running through terminals to catch flights; but it’s also the melancholy as you leave for yet another date, lingering touches when you round the desk of his classroom, soft smiles meant just for him.

He really can’t fuck this up. A chance with you and your chaos, your kindness, and quick wit. It’s overwhelming, like a tidal wave crashing against the shore during a storm. Insurmountable, the pressure dissipating in his chest as he realizes it.

Steve flushes, and in the split second of your tongue sweeping over your bottom lip, he tells himself, do it, you coward, just fucking do it— and, god help him, he does.

Then the entire room bursts into flames. Your lips are searing hot against his— plump and eager, leaving scorched trails everywhere they touch, and Steve thrums like a strike of lightning trying to catch his breath. 

Steve watches the way you pull him toward you, glowing and euphoric with kiss-swollen lips, and fucking Christ, he knows.

The next morning brings a swell of guilt rising in your chest, and you know that the events of last night cannot happen again. 

Kissing Steve, your best friend, like it wasn’t some cataclysmic thing– you were such a fucking idiot. It was too much and too soon, and you’d somehow already fucked it up before it could begin.

You’d never been so grateful for Robin’s shitty timing, but her drunkenly stumbling in the loft with Vickie in tow had been enough for you to disentangle yourself from Steve and hightail it to the opposite end of the couch. 

His eyes were wide, lips pink and cheeks fevered— he wouldn’t stop looking at you. 

And you couldn’t bring yourself to look at him. 

You exchanged greetings with Robin and Vickie before excusing yourself and heading to bed. Nancy said you could use her room for the night, so you quietly shut the door and failed to will yourself to sleep.

Now, it’s the morning of Christams Eve and you’re cleaning up the kitchen. Steve wandered in earlier, and methodically gathered the glasses and plates from the haphazard dinner you’d shared last night, only to deposit them in the sink next to you.

His fingers trailed against your forearm, sleeve rucked up as you sprayed and wiped the countertops ridding them of flour and cookie dough. 

You fail to suppress your surprised gasp at the sensation, soft and warm, with enough latent promise to give you goosebumps allover.

He lingers, fingers grasped around your elbow now. Three successive taps to ask are you okay?

Robin and Vickie’s voices trail down the hall, letting you know they’re up even if the door hasn’t opened just yet.

You swallow, finding that you’re unable to respond verbally, throat dry and tight. Nor are you able to tap back, as per your code, hands busy with cleaning. Instead, you rock back into his frame with a sigh and allow his arm to wrap around your hips.

Content with a job well done, you leave the spray and cloth on the counter and turn to face him. And, confirming Nancy’s observation, Steve looks at you like you’re the only thing worth looking at; his hazel eyes soft, the green giving way to flecks of gold around his pupil, but tinged with apprehension.

And damn, if it doesn’t make you want to kiss him again.

But you can’t and you need to stop this before it goes any further. 

While there are feelings there, for the both of you (you hope), you are nowhere near ready to have that discussion with Steve. Nor do you want to unnecessarily complicate matters. You’d only just began casually dating again, for fuck’s sake.

“Steve I–,” you croak out before he stops you with his thumb tracing the line of your jaw. He’s somehow backed you against the countertop, effectively caging you in.

And you know if you asked or signaled that you were uncomfortable in any way, he’d let you go. But you find that you aren’t, in fact, you feel the opposite, Steve’s weight against you is soothing in a way; as if he’s a perfect blend of a man too attractive for his own good and a weighted blanket. 

Odd metaphor, but your addled brain allows it.

He doesn’t try to kiss you again, though the weaker part of you wouldn’t be opposed, but simply takes you in, his eyes roving across your face and body. As if he could discern your emotion or anticipate what you’d been trying to say. 

His thumb settles along the notch of bone at your hip, tracing circles through the fabric of his your hoodie. His tongue darts out to wet his bottom lip before he swallows, your eyes following the movement of his throat and the constellation of freckles there.

“We don’t have to talk about it,” he says eventually, voice soft but resigned.

You stare up at him, eyes wide and can feel the heat creeping up your body in embarrassment. Your hand finds purchase against his shoulder, settling there while your thumb traces the line of his collarbone. 

“I mean, I’d like to,” he clears his throat, “Eventually. But I know you’re going through a lot and I’d hate to add to that, so.” His glances down at his feet, a lovely flush on his cheeks matching the ruddy tone of his lips. 

Shit, you really need to stop staring at his lips.

“Okay.”

He gives your hips a reassuring squeeze and pushes himself upright. Steve turns to check the clock on the microwave, eyes catching the time. 

“Ready for your present?”

He’s all smiles now, eyes glinting with mischief as you let out an exasperated pfft and roll your eyes. Steve treated gift-giving like it was a competition to be won, and Steve always won, without fail from year to year.

With a nod from you, he drags you over to the chaotically decorated Christmas tree in the living room and sits down in front of it while you plop down on the ottoman. Another thing he insists on, Steve always plays Santa and hands out gifts to everyone, the one’s he’d purchased them go first, without saying.

Neither of you can remember when it started, but the pair of you always exchanged one gift on Christmas Eve. And you worked for years to get the gifts down to a certain budget and number, but somehow Steve “forgot” that agreement more and more as each year passed on. 

Despite growing up in the Harrington household, which abided by strict holiday themes and color schemes under his mother’s guiding hand, Steve could not be fucked to 1) wrap a gift with any sense of order or presentation and 2) have thematic wrapping paper or accoutrements. 

Which is how an impossibly wrapped gift proclaiming ‘Merry Rexmas!’ from shiny green T-Rexes with far too much tape and not enough wrapping paper ended up in your hand. It was also, based on its lack of weight, something that definitely should have gone in a gift bag. 

He sets you with a smirk, “Go on then, open it,” your gift for him in his hand. The lights from the tree twinkle behind him, casting Steve in a warm glow and you look to the task at hand to avoid doing something stupid.

Again.

You peel back the paper and tape to reveal a soft gray leather stamped with your initials. “It’s beautiful,” you say, as you continue to unwrap it, thumb skimming over smooth surface. 

Steve watches as you do so. “There’s uh,” he rasps, voice just above a whisper, “More on the inside.”

You quirk a brow in interest and pull the zip to open it up. Inexplicably, he’s moved all the contents of your previous wallet to this new one, you can’t help but laugh. Fingers tripping along the contents, you pull the flap at the back of the wallet to reveal not cash, but plane tickets.

“What?”

He moves from his position in front of the tree closer to you, hand settling along the ottoman. “I figured you could use a break.”

“Steve, this is too much. I–,” you stop before you give away how overcome you are. You blink back the tears threatening to fall and swallow in an effort to soothe your rapidly closing throat.

He’s quiet, contemplating whether you’re really upset with him over the extravagance of his gift. When your hand finds his, he’s reassured. He watches as you pull the tickets from the wallet and eye them warily.

You clear your throat, thumb skimming across the back of his hand, and say far too calmly, “These are for this afternoon. And there’s a ticket here with your name on it, oddly enough.”

“Huh,” he smirks, “How about that.”

“What are you playing at Harrington?”

Steve stands up, stretching casually before making his way to the hallway. You trail after him with furtive whispers of his name, needling him for some semblance of a response. He disappears into his room for a moment and returns with a backpack slung over his shoulder and not one but two rolling bags, one in white and the other in black.

“That’s not my luggage,” you say when he stops in front of you. 

It’s decidedly not your luggage because you’ve been meaning to replace it for years since it’s falling apart at the seams. Too many excursions where it had taken a beating, whether thrown into the cargo hold of a plane or strapped to the top of a rickshaw or bus, clinging on for dear life. No tag or branding in sight, but you notice the two TSA locks and leather luggage tag and file it away for further investigation.

“It is now,” is his reply as he walks you back to the living room. He places your Christmas present to him in his backpack and zips it back up before turning to you. “As much as I love the look Trouble,” he smirks, eyes working you up and down, “I think the TSA are going to insist on pants, of some kind.”

Your face colors remembering your current state. Overheated as you baked cookies the night prior, you shucked your yoga leggings and threw them on a sofa somewhere before promptly forgetting about them as the night carried on.

Locating them, you pull them hastily back on. “But I’m not packed,” you point out. Rightfully so, since the majority of your wardrobe still resides in your former home with your ex-fiancé. “And I don’t even know where we’re going. Plus,” you continue walking toward him, “I haven’t even agreed to this ridiculous idea of yours.”

Steve grins at your petulance, he’d anticipated it in fact. “Nancy helped me out, no need to worry,” he taps the white suitcase at his feet. He steps closer to you, thumb landing at the center of your chin while his other fingers fall into place curled underneath your chin and prompts you to look up at him.

“Now,” he begins, voice soft and steady, “We don’t have to go, if you don’t want to. But you’d mentioned wanting to get away and it was either this or spring break.” His breath fans along your cheeks, and you can pick up the scent of his coffee from earlier. “The choice is yours.”

In for a penny, in for a pound.

With a sigh, you grab your new wallet and check for your phone in your leggings. Determining that as sufficient, you run a hand through your hair and say, “Did you bring my—”

“Your ridiculous pillow that makes you look like a hostage when you sleep?” He smiles and does nothing to prevent his laughter at your extravagant sleep routine. “Why yes, in fact,” he takes your hand and leads you to the door to grab your coat, purse, and shoes, “I got you the travel size so you can horrify all the passengers on the plane.”

“Lucky me,” you grouse, toeing on your boots in a huff.

“Yeah,” Steve agrees with a smile, “Something like that.”

[crystalelemental]

I can talk about favorite sync pairs all day, but that list rarely changes.  But you know what does change?  Compositions.  That's right, team comps change constantly as I adapt playstyles or learn about stupid shit I can get away with. So today, I'm going to talk about some team comps I've thrown together that have been fun for me to work out, what they do, and why I like them so much.  I'll try to limit it to just a few.

H!Caitlin, Colress, Lodge Rosa/any physical damage dealer H!Caitlin is a metric ton of fun to use in like a billion comps (I don't know if there's a single more improved sync pair in the game, frankly), but one that I really enjoy is Lodge Rosa.  Rosa caps crit in one turn with trainer move, and only needs attack.  Well, also speed for gauge control.  And she's a Tech with Vigilance so ideally some bulk would be nice?  Caitlin grants her everything. Colress also serves as a fantastic third, by offering Screech utility for debuffing, and Mirror Shot to debuff accuracy.  Caitlin's slight accuracy buff on trainer move also means Colress can hit reliably, so the whole team works perfectly despite him being 1/5.  The general structure is to have Caitlin take first sync, Rosa take second and third, but use her attacks to wear down sides.  With no Strikers, that's a free 50 points, while no field effects means taking off Offenses +5, making the team really sturdy.   I'll acknowledge, this team comp only works off-type because my Rosa is EX.  And often, you'll take the opponent's sync, which means you really need to get Rosa into the red for full sync benefits.  But the comp does really well when accuracy checks can be used against the opponent.  Piercing Gaze just blanks the comp.

Other really fun solutions to this include base Iris, Elesa, and pretty much anyone that caps their own crit.  Seriously the comp works really well.  It’s kind of my favorite right now.

V!Lorelei, C!Iris, C!Elesa Variety Lorelei may be a cheap alt from a production side, but for me I love her. And I really like how well she can complement specific sync pairs who need her exact buffing.  Pairs like Champion Iris.  No I will not stop calling her that.  C!Iris is such a fun pair to use.  I love debuff strats, I love that she's just an absurd sync nuke, and she gets everything she needs from Lorelei.  Who I'm considering giving Head Start to once she's 3/5.  Give this team full fast-ramping capabilities.  "But her Gauntlet utility-" I cleared every stage with 1/5, she's got it. Classic Elesa is the final point in its favor, offering the paralysis and spectrum debuff that kicks Iris up to insane levels.  The team just...works.  It has everything it realistically needs to function.  Except gauge.  Elesa costs little, but Lorelei's 2-bar move requires some activation of Recharging Strike to get what you need to keep going, and even then sometimes the rotation just isn't pleasant.  Iris lacking Aggravation also puts a massive damper on the team's capabilities, as you don't really have the same potential denial to perform on sides in CS.  Oh well, on the expansion, eh?

NC Calem, SC Zinnia, SS Cyrus/any physical Dark-type You want to never take damage?  This is how you never take damage.  SC Zinnia is obscenely good.  70% flinch, absolute beast under Five Stats +3 condition, perfectly complements Calem's buffs for max offense on literally turn 1 for any physical Dark-type ally, with Rebuff benefits.  Her Buddy move being AoE also counts toward Calem's buddy move cooldown, which means any Brutal Swing users get access to Zone by first sync.  SS Cyrus is the one I use most often.  Truth be told, Zinnia's my favorite damage dealer in any comp regardless, so the added sleep lockdown is just kicking someone while they're down.  But I've tried this kind of comp using Nanu as primary sync and he still clears off-type just fine.  They're absurd.  I know I listed limitations for the last two, but barring Calem being kinda frail, which is worked around with the Endurance on entry and 70% flinch rate, the team doesn't actually have one.

Anabel, Emma, Looker Looker Fam, finally assembled.  I admit, I'm a big fan of the Interpol group. Looker's great, Anabel's great, Emma doesn't get nearly enough play, I'm super glad they're all in.  This team functions around Emma.   Everything is centered squarely on Emma, whose Buddy move deals roughly infinity billion damage even off-type.  Anabel has dual screens, among other defensive benefits, and Aggravation on Headbutt.  Looker realistically just hits Poison on his 1-bar move at the outset, thanks to the high potential rate he carries.  Emma then just shreds.  Just obliterates.  Looker can actually contribute more meaningfully to Emma than H!Iris can, I've found out, thanks to the CS conditions.  Iris needs 100 points to be allocated elsewhere to avoid damage reduction shenanigans, and Looker can get rid of the Offenses +5 in favor of No Weather/Terrain/Zone Changes.  I will say though, the team isn't perfect.  Emma misses capped speed, Looker doesn't contribute a ton off-type, and Anabel, while good, can still get run over even through her shields.  AoE attacks also severely threaten Emma, who is relatively frail, and really can't let up on the DPS when fighting off-type.   Also, gauges.  Emma is wonderful on them, her DPS can involve Toxic Freebie, but you can't rely on it, and even with +4 speed to the team, Anabel being so slow really drags the gauge consideration down when field effects aren't in play.

Glacia, Irida, BP Candice/Pryce/Lorelei Ice is finally good!  Miracle of miracles, Ice is finally good.  Irida saved the type. Single-handedly.  Yeah, this is my favorite comp, because it runs so contrary to what seems to be popular opinion.  That opinion being "But Adaman's better because he's stronger, and Irida can't support the actually good Ice-types."  Bro, she does not need to. Irida will carry the crappiest, most godawful Ice-types to a clean off-type clear, I promise bro.  BP Candice is good now.  Pryce is good now. Lorelei...I mean it's not as good as Pryce, but she can still win.  All of this is backed by Glacia, who found a savior in Irida.  Ice Shell and Healing Hail is now viable, meaning Glacia gets a ton of extra defense and recovery pretty much all the time.  And with her Endure effect, backed by Sinnoh Spirit cutting special damage...honestly the expected flaw of "Glacia gets run over" has yet to be a problem.   I'm looking back on my use of this team, and Glacia's never actually fallen.  She always survives, and we always make it just before foe's sync.  To be clear, I am talking off-type here.  Ice is good and consistent now.  And this is before mentioning that hey, some of these have a 30% freeze rate when single-target.  It's so good.

Lodge Dawn, Caitlin, [insert Gauntlet gimmick check here] I love Caitlin, and would do anything for her to succeed.  Thankfully, there is an answer already, in the form of Lodge Dawn, who is like the perfect being.  This is, admittedly, much more of a Gauntlet-focused favorite than the others. Caitlin's upgrade was...stressful.  At first.  I think it ultimately played out well for her, but gauge generation on such a slow pair was legitimately horrifying.  I still think it could've been better.  But, Lodge Dawn perfectly complements Caitlin's needs. It's spectacular.  They need for very little overall, and can truck any Gauntlet fight.  Yes, including Cresselia.  Not an exaggeration.  They are that good.  That said, this team does not work at all off-type in CS.  Dawn cannot take hits well enough to survive.  I think I managed it in like one, maybe two fights, by the grace of a lucky dodge.  It's just not consistent or smart to do.

SC Jasmine, Lucian, Lisia Okay, now we're talking nonsense!  SC Jasmine is one of my favorite sync pairs. It's mostly by design, but frankly by utility too.  She was the first in a now much longer line of Special Attack/Crit buffers, and has some of the fastest special defense/crit buffing in the game.  Safety Net on sync, special defense debuffing, one bar spam with MGR9, Jasmine offers a good deal.  Lucian is a beautiful complement to her, thanks to attack debuffs and speed boosting.  These two traits fix every conceivable problem Jasmine ever had.  Add in any specially offensive unit, and suddenly you're set to go.  Lisia is a particularly nice choice, because she needs all the help she can get.  But also, this team is hilariously good on point conservation in CS.  There's no field effect, so take off Offenses +5 for that.  Lisia can Defog, so add in Crit Shield by taking off Offenses +1 and +3.  Now you're dealing with minimal offense opponents, who can't fully threaten you back.  The only hiccup, the only thing that kinda sucks, is Lisia's sync.  It's so bad. Like, if that were better, we would have a much different conversation. But it's incredibly hard to get Lisia to work correctly, So the team can take more resetting than you might like.

Roxanne, Lodge Steven, Classic Blue Never expected a favorite team composition to feature a Blue alt, but here we are!  Roxanne is a favorite, and I do like Steven a lot too.  As Rock pals, I am desperate to make a team with the two of them work.  And thank god, Lodge Steven works.  Roxanne gives literally everything he wants, and Classic Blue provides Dire Hit All+, which in one move can cap Steven’s crit rate for off-type clears thanks to his own Sharp Entry.  What really sells this is the combination of Blue’s Hyper Beam being fantastic single-target DPS, and Steven’s own fantastic sync nuke for a lodge pair.  Their damage output is quite respectable.  Add in that the new CS conditions allow Roxanne to endure a lot longer thanks to the team having no multiplicative field effects, and we’re in a position where Roxanne lasts a whole match even off-type.  Steven’s Staggering is really the main event.  He can stall out the entire enemy team if it procs, and on the way, debuff special defense at random.  It’s an odd and eclectic sort of team that came together beautifully, and it’s...legitimately my favorite Rock-type team.  I like it more than Double Diancie at this point, and that’s saying a lot.  I mean sure, there are times I wish I had an alternate Rock-type with Dire Hit All+, but I like Aerodactyl well enough and it gets the job done.  You know.  When you’re successfully getting a stagger.  And the foe doesn’t have Wise Entry x2.  And Roxanne gets her MPRs.  You know there are a lot of flaws but what fun is a flawless super team anyway?

LOTR musical question: What do you think are the reasons for why the musical failed? Was it just too expensive? Audience disinterest? The fact that Oliver was being revived? Or was there just a a sense of hubris amongst the producers and creative team?

This is the most difficult question to answer because there are many rumours and few facts to found online.

I'd say it was a combination of all four reasons you mentioned.

1. It was definitely far too expensive to produce. With a budget of 22m pounds (only 12 according to Daily Mail and Wikipedia), it had to make 350,000 pounds a week in order to break even. The set was prone to break and needed to be repaired constantly. A performer told me that there wasn't a single performance that went smoothly and it was extremely dangerous for the performers onstage even after the had fixed most problems during previews in London.

Apparently the producers lost the whole of their investments, which might be the reason why they weren't willing to take the risk of international/tour productions. It's known as the most costly musical mistake in West End history.

2. There was definitely a lack of audience disinterest as well. Due to the 'spectacle' aspect it simply didn't appeal to a large audience. I'm quoting the comment on this this reddit post:

But really, it was too abridged for the LotR anoraks and too spectacle for the theatre crowd and tourists just didn't bite. Comps and massive discounts were the order of the day, and I went once for free and had a prime seat, had a slightly less prime seat the second time when I went on a meal deal and they closed off the circles and there were still easily empty 7-10+ rows behind us.

This was the situation in London. In Toronto, the show had played to an average of 90% capacity, according to Thomas Schramm (2012, the German book I mentioned) - which isn't too bad. And still - after it was announced that the West End production was closing, plans for a Cologne production and a world tour were revealed. They wouldn't have considered taking the show abroad if it had been *that* unpopular with audiences. It wouldn't have run from May 2007 to July 2008 either if no one had come to see it. I know for a fact that they did weekly Q&As after the shop until April 2008 AT LEAST. They really tried to appeal to audiences (also: lots of merchandise, the National Geographic documentary, the stage companion, the OLCR with bonus material, backstage blogs, etc).

My take on this is that the people who saw it mostly liked it, but there were too few people who saw it.

3. Oliver. Yes, the popular rumours. The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane belongs to LW Theatres, and Andrew Lloyd Webber searched for Olivers and a Nancy in a Reality TV show called I'd Do Anything (Samantha Barks? Rachel Tucker? Jodie Prenger? Exactly). The first episode ironically aired shortly after LotR's closing date was announced, and Oliver opened at the theatre in January 2009 after extensive renovations. Replacing an unsuccessful show with a revival of a popular one? That's supported by ALW himself? It's pretty obvious. Even without having read this Daily Mail article and YouTube comments from 2008/9.

4. The sense of hubris among producers/creative team. Not as obvious as the others, but it influenced them directly. They were convinced they had created the *perfect* adaption, shunning the movies and musical theatre in general. They didn't want to see it referred to as a 'musical' at first, rather a 'straight play with music'. Thomas Schramm (2012) compares it with other musical and plays and concludes that it can definitely be classified as a musical - after all, it ended up being nominated for Best New Musical at the 2009 Oliver Awards? Wouldn't reject that nomination, eh?

They simply wanted too much. Yes, they had put in a lot of effort, but the final result wasn't what critics, general audiences or Tolkien fans wanted to see.

Additionally, there was another reason that probably had an effect on ticket buyers: lots and lots of negative reviews. All aspects of the show have been criticised by one critic or the other. I can't list sources for them all, but I've compiled some of the reviews in this post. Some didn't like the score (dull, forgettable), the book (main point of criticism nowadays I think?), the cast (Brian Protheroe, Malcolm Storry, Michael Therriault, Jerome Pradon in particular), the overall concept... The flood of negative reviews had started in Toronto and continued in London. The were lots of positive reviews as well, but all well known as well as all popular critics seemed to hate it.

(Some say tickets were too expensive. I don't think so - prices started at 15, with top prices at 60 pounds. Sure, it was 2007/8, but considering the ticket prices today... it still wasn't much, and LotR does have a longer running time than other shows.)

Taking all of the above reasons into account it is very unlikely that LotR will make a comeback.

Thank you for the ask ♡

pleeeeaaasseee tell us how you met your girlfriend on overwatch :)

So one morning I decided to jump into Quick Play because I was trying to get my win rate on Zarya above 50% and I only needed to win a few more games! I got put in defense on Hanamura and the team comp was me as Zarya, Widowmaker, Mei, Pharah, Symmetra, and Mercy. Well we all got setup and then about 20 seconds before the gates opened our Mercy disconnected from the game and I was like ‘well shit.’ I almost left but then I saw [PeachPit joined the game] and was like ok cool I really hope she picks Mercy which I then saw [PeachPit switched to Mercy] and I was like ‘HELL YEAH’ lol. Since the game was starting so soon, I walked back a bit to meet her halfway so she could fly to me. I pinged ‘Hello’ and she flew to me and said hi and I got setup to defend. We were doing well for a bit, I really noticed that Mercy was like ON me like I was getting A+ healing considering I was the only line of defense and was like ‘wow this Mercy is really good.’ I ended up dying at some point and was like ‘eh it’ll be ok we’re still holding fine’ and then suddenly I got the rez and was like ?????????!! This is back when Mercy had her original ult and I was like ‘She solo rezed me??? that’s gay!!!?!?!?’ and so I suddenly swapped from like casual play to like full on comp play mode and the only thing I had in mind was ‘I HAVE to win this game for this Mercy’. We won and she said ‘Zarya you were doing god’s work out there’ in the team chat and I was like ‘yeah i’m adding this person before I log off lol

So I played one more QP game, and the game after that I got put on Volskya attack. Whelp, PeachPit was queued in my game again and I was like ‘PEACH’ in the team chat and she said ‘Jackal, the best Zarya ever :)’ and at this point I’m like, ‘I’M WINNING THIS GAME IDGAF’. So I played my fucking HARDEST and basically 80% of my bubbles went to Peach and I basically rubberbanded and body blocked for her the whole game and we won again. I added her as a friend right after and we got in the voice chat and started talking (which was mostly me screaming about how good of a Mercy she was lol).

So of course we got to playing together more and talking more and got each other’s tumblrs and stuff. After taking for a while we both caught feelings and then I asked her out a couple months later and we’ve been dating ever since

#ask #that's the story of how Zarya got me a gf

[dourpeep]

I'm close to pity(70) and i don't know if I should continue to pull for itto or save for Xiao 😩

I can't wait for scara to become a playable character so I can put him on the same team with baal, kazuha, hu tao

Baal:- for obvious reasons

Kazuha:- emotional support

Hu tao:- emotional support (2) and to lighten the mood

I heard that ningguang might be getting a new skin but i still don't have her 😭😭

I've also wanted Bennett for the longest time and now that I've finally got him I don't feel like building him anymore

-no primogems

PRIMOSSSSS HELLO I'VE MISSED YOU also I'm answering this first because I forgot you sent a few other asks and instead answered the most recent one isdhfoiehf

aoiefheih it really depends!!! If you want Itto + have a team comp ready then by all means--same for Xiao. Who do you want more? When you think about not pulling for one of them, how does that make you feel??

Ehe that's usually what thought process I go through when deciding to roll or not to roll.

But ah!! Yes me too!!! I can't wait for him to be a playable character! I hope that we'll be seeing him soon (though since there was a lot of hinting towards him going awol last update, I assume that we will >>). Also I'm wondering just what he'll be. The most popular is electro catalyst, and I agree that it'd be fitting. It'd also be interesting considering his relationship to Yae Miko and how she's also theorized to be an electro catalyst.

Clearly, she cares about him, whether or not that has diminished and regardless of her stance when he initially began to wander alone. So it'd be cool to think that he might've been trained by her.

Especially with the possibility that (though his god-like powers were repressed) Scaramouche could have had innate electro powers like the Archons do.

ODIHFIE BUT I DIGRESS--

I gotta say- overcharged is fun to play with hehehe everything just gets blown away-

AH Ningguang getting a new skin...I wonder what it'll be like! I guess we'll see if the rumors are true as well as what it'll look like tomorrow :DDD

I hope that you're able to get her as well--I still am not very keen on playing catalyst, but she def can be real strong >>

OIDHFOIEH BENNET LUCK IT'S OKAY THOUGH now he'll be ready and waiting when you decide to build him!!

benke !!!!!!

u truly want me dead but ily so- BUT OK BENKE my meme child

What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?.2 seconds i hate him. if he HAD to sit still and he was feeling slightly more chill than usual he could prbly go five minutes. tops. he’s just rlly antsy. he needs to be doing smth w his hands

How easy is it for your character to laugh?EH not super easily but defo more easily than a lot of my other ocs from one to ten one being laughs extremely easily he’s prbly a 4. the key is to find him memes esp political nihilistic memes or fall in front of him bc he’s terrible

How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)he doesn’t sleep. e v e r. who do u think he is?? nah jk on a more serious note, he actually doesn’t sleep very easily so usually he just listens to music until he dozes off

How easy is it to earn their trust?gosh that’s. difficult to say. p hard actually?? surprisingly hard for how much of a meme he acts like and how relatively extroverted he is. from one to ten w one meaning it’s very easy to gain his trust i’d say 7

How easy is it to earn their mistrust?he doesn’t rlly attach himself to ppl easily so it’s p easy to get him to not trust u. like he’ll be chill w u but he wont trust u all that much it’s a weird dynamic w him. w one being v easy to get him to distrust and ten very hard, he’s a 5. p much in the middle not rlly too much to one side or another

Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?rules are great until they impede him from getting what he’s aimin for :) on a more serious note, he doesn’t rlly give a damn abt most laws like he doesn’t want to go to jail but at the same time if he’s not going to get caught he’s going to do it bc hey wtf yolo

What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?LOL NOSTALGia thats a joke he dislikes sappy things n nostalgia falls into that category but he will on v v rare occasions reminisce. certain musical pieces have that effect on him esp the classical ones as he’s grown up w music (being a practical prodigy on the piano and all). he guesses that sometimes it is kind of nice to remember. just once in a while tho. in a while being the key phrase here

What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?I MEAN he’s sixteen he’s still technically a child but basically the most common thing he hears is stop slacking and work harder. being an asian kid getting As is? absolutely crucial he’ll be smacked upside the head by his parents if he doesn’t so they always tell him to stop slacking tf off n actually study for once (tbh it’s fine he’s a genius practically he gets As easier than u can say banana split)

Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?absolutely and he doesn’t rlly remember but he thinks it was “shit”

What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?once he set out twenty peeps just behind the wheels of his mom’s car and when she backed out the entire wheels got covered in peeps and when she came home saying there was all this weird gooey stuff on her wheels and looked pointedly at him. he just blurted out that it was god exacting judgement on her for her sins. it didn’t end well. he ended up washing the entire car by himself. it still haunts him to this day

How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?he’ll literally just say “what the fuck” and laugh

How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?whine about it until someone scratches it for him dependent on how comfy he is around the ppl he’s with. if he’s not comfy around the ppl he’s w he’ll just sulk internally or scurry off to the bathroom and like, rub his back (presumptively that’s where he can’t reach) against the edge of the stall until the itch is gone bc he’s high

What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?he thinks he looks best in all colors also he doesn’t rlly care abt fashion. he looks best in HM like purple or royal blue?? 

What animal do they fear most?he has this weird fear of armadillos and no one knows why it has smth to do w an incident at the zoo when he was six

How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?he honestly doesn’t say everything that comes to mind even tho it SOUNDS like he does but he also. basically says everything that comes to mind. it’s odd bc he ends up being rlly engaging in conversation anyways. however he isnt immune to being at a loss for words and when he’s under pressure he will stumble a lil thru what he’s saying. but most of the time what u hear is what he’s thinkin

What makes their stomach turn?ok he’s not SUPER big abt justice or anything like that but if someone’s being torn down he’ll get rlly uncomfy unless he’s the one who initiated it bc he’s like hey hey haha guys dont say that abt them. also he dislikes roly polys w a passion bc they remind him of armadillos :)

Are they easily embarrassed?on one hand he has no shame on the other he does get p flustered if ppl flirt w him and it hits a spot (in a good way)? like he does get embarrassed moderately easily but it takes him a few seconds to realize he should be embarrassed if u get me

What embarrasses them?flirting, if u get a well aimed compliment in that he didn’t expect. also realizing he’s made a fool of himself bc that oftentimes happens but he also rarely realizes it so if he REALIZES he’s made a fool of himself he will get flustered

What is their favorite number?420 duh

If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?he’d be like wtf why r u asking me this but if someone he does trust and is close to asked him he’d try his best to give a serious answer after a bout of awkward laughing to make sure they were serious. prbly like��“familial love and platonic love are the same thing basically right? i guess platonic love is how u love ur friends so yk brofists and shit and then romantic love is more? special? idk it’s fucking great tho *fingers guns at sev*”

Why do they get up in the morning? his mom makes him get up for school otherwise what is leaving his bed when he can just pull his comp onto his lap while STAYING in his bed and game from there

How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)? oh he’s very possessive. he’ll defo keep whatever he’s worried abt losing close by to start and if it’s a person- friend or s/o- he’s going to be touching them a lot more. a hand on the back, a hug at the side, running his hands through their hair casually. anything to assert that no back off ur not taking them from me. but if it continues, which it v well may, knowing him, he’s going to start getting snarky n verbally fighting the other person. basically Messy pls reassure him if u are the object of his affections and he’s getting side-eye emoji abt someone 

How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)? he defo becomes resentful a bit. like he doesn’t get envious over most things- it’s mostly fear of losing the thing once he has it- but when it does he will get resentful and hole up a bit and generally just seem a little ticked

Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?yeah he’s comfy talking abt sex. prbly a little too comfy. so basically anyone willing to engage him in the conversation topic will likely hear abt it but he’s calmed down ever since he got involved w sev

What are their thoughts on marriage?marriage is good? but far off and amorphous in his mind. for the most part he’s like there’s nothing wrong w it but it crosses his mind EXTREMELY infrequently   

What is their preferred mode of transportation? preferably in the back of a private plane, squirrel suit gliding or on a giant eagle, none of which he’s ever experienced in his life. but out of the things he has he is fond of sailing when it’s calm out bc he does get seasick a tiny bit. he likes fast cars too

What causes them to feel dread? his mother :) she may be small but she is Frightening

Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? he doesnt rlly give a damn so lie most of the time but at the same time if he cares abt the thing and he’s asking u abt it pls do urself a favor and tell him the truth. it’s what he prefers and it’s rare anyways that he actually asks after smth

Do they usually live up to their own ideals? nope. he wants to win a nobel prize, publish a meme compilation book, become a world class pianist, go to pluto- u get the idea. ya boi has many high hopes for himself which he’s not rlly meeting atm. he’s a little all over the place, so despite his many talents he isn’t quite living up to the ideal version of himself he’s seeking after and prbly never will it’ll be very hard to get him to admit this not bc he’s an edgelord or smth but it’s hard to get him to talk abt deeper things but he does sincerely want to be a good moral person which dependent on the day and his level of seriousness he may or may not be living up to in his own eyes as well as in the eyes of others. what can i say he’s kind of a hoe

Who do they most regret meeting? life…. when life’s hand touched upon his little heart and gave him the gift of herself he immediately was filled w Ragret- on a more serious note it’s prbly the armadillo from the zoo

Who are they the most glad to have met? sev? he also adores his piano teacher but good luck getting him to admit that w heartfelt sincerity 

Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? it’s honestly whatever’s the most recent thing he observed, heard or experienced when it comes to stories. he has no shortage of words to say and his fav sort of memes and jokes are politically nihilistic ones. so those are? in a way his go to?

Could they be considered lazy? yes. he only applies himself if he’s interested and for most of school he has no qualms abt being a lil sus and casually “accidentally” getting the answers to things so yeah that’s. that could be considered lazy. however, when he does care abt smth he will absolutely dedicate himself to it. he practices piano consistently and diligently day in and day out so it honestly depends on if he cares or not

How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt? v difficult. he rarely becomes guilty for longer than .4 seconds but when it does he’s srsly going to internalize that bc if he’s feeling guilty he prbly f-ed up real bad. he also won’t rlly talk abt it to anyone so it’s even more likely it’ll just get internalized 

How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive? that’s extremely dependent on who it is and what it is. if it’s sev he’ll b v supportive but sev is a VERY big exception in most cases also sev rarely gets visibly excited abt things so it’s usually a cause for celebration when he does. if josie (his bff) is excited abt smth? if he can relate he’ll be excited for her but if he can’t he’ll TRY his best but there will be some teasing involved bc that’s how he diffuses confusion. their other bff will get the same treatment but w slightly more effort bc she’s more sensitive but gosh if it’s someone he doesn’t know rlly well he’ll be rlly confused he’ll be like good for u ha?? or someone he knows casually. they’ll get teased so he tries but he also sucks at life. for such a great analyst he’s terrible at being socially delicate

Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap? tbh prbly actively seek it. he defo pursued sev before they got together

Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)? he doesn’t rlly give a damn abt ppl’s names but if it’s say a piano piece it’s honestly just cold, hard repetition 

What memory do they revisit the most often? he doesn’t reminisce often hes a p go go go type of guy but if he does it’s prbly abt sev. neither of them voice it often but they’re both rlly grateful for the other

How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people? see, he’s kind of oblivious he doesn’t rlly think abt these things but when something annoys him? oh it annoys him and he’s going to make no effort to hide it or ignore it. so he’s honestly rlly bad at ignoring other ppl’s flaws. he’s a bit of a b like that 

How sensitive are they to their own flaws?very

How do they feel about children? no particular opinion! he’s the younger sib by quite a bit so he’s always been kind of the baby. he thinks kids are fine and he’s actually p good w them but he’d prefer to not babysit or anything like that. there are better more enjoyable things he could be doing w his time. as for having kids he almost never thinks abt that so he’s got no opinion there either. what happens happens after all

How badly do they want to reach their end goal? he doesn’t particularly have One End Goal but he has many aspirations and if he cares abt smth he will do everything in his power to reach it at least within reason. so p badly relatively speaking? 

If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so? he’s bi so if someone asked him to explain it he’d be like “it means idc what someone’s gender is when it comes to whether i want to fuck or not ;)” yes i hate him too

Trinitas [2017 EDM Secret Santa]

“My place is with you, always.”

(This is my @edm-secret-santa gift for @finex09! Merry Christmas, dearest. You asked for Seb/Kav or the Justice pair as part of your preferences; howsbout a generous helping of both pairings baked in fluff flavoured fluff with a sprinkling of extra fluff on top y/n?)

There is in Paris a street called Boulevard Saint-Germain, lit up with silvery blues and bright shimmering golds late into the night as yet another Christmas dawns upon this high city. Not much is open at this hour – if business still needs doing, the Champs-Élysées is nearby for that purpose, its parallel glory laid out just across the Seine – but the street lies fresh-faced and cheery for all those who wish to walk along it. Never mind that most would prefer the home and hearth tonight. Some things in life are best appreciated at the fringes of it, ideally with a partner in crime at hand.

Sebastian Akchoté is undergoing one such experience tonight. His new scarf is snug around his throat and his cheeks are pink. He exhales white smoke into the air with one breath and inhales the grey of nicotine with the other. He is not alone. No one walks the streets for the streets during the daytime hours. In the chaotic bustle of daily life, it is easy to miss the structural beauty of this city, where avenues broaden into leisurely stretches and narrow winding paths lead to small-time pleasures. But the shops and bars are closed now, the street itself is there for the taking; for Christmas its whole length has been decorated thrice over, lamp-posts wound with speckles of golden light and themed artwork dotted along the pavement. There is no rush here, no demand, only decorations and the serene glimmer of the Seine ahead to excite the heart and for the eye to be delighted at.

"Isn't it beautiful," he murmurs. His companion reacts with surprise, unspoken but with his head visibly tilting in wonder. Sebastian is seldom this straightforward about anything. "you reckon this makes up for the family somewhat, Vinco?"

Vincent Belorgey barks out a laugh, the first in a good long while. Sebastian grins back and they hurry on their way. Call it an improvisation, what they decided to do tonight. Vincent was originally planning to host his entire family for Christmas, disappearing for up to a week as he likes to do in order to eat and drink and be merry, but his plans have fallen through spectacularly this year. His brother's away in a different country altogether, held up by checks and delays. His sister apparently has a 'headcold' of such extent that their mother has gone to look after her for the holidays, and of course all of them live away from Paris. Vincent hasn't had the news long enough to work out a way to be with any of them, so he'll have to do without, a fact that struck him hard: "For all my numerous faults, I'm a family man, and especially so for the holidays!" He'd lamented, several times, while his friend puffed nonchalantly away at his cigarette in the background. "They all know that. All that food in the fridge, what the hell am I going to do with it?"

"Can't it wait until the New Year?"

"Some of it, yes, but the other stuff's – ugh – themed," Vincent wrung his hands briefly, but then straightened up again, keeping precarious balance between concerned and overblown. "but forget the food, I wouldn't be this worried if I could make my way to somebody."

Sebastian tapped away the ash. "Any news from your brother?"

"He's fine. In a hotel the last time I checked. Comped. Everyone's all right, I just don't remember the last time we were apart."

Sebastian finds that hard to believe. He has no such tale to tell, as the twenty-fifth of December is not as meaningful to him as it might be for others; Christmas takes place then if he's in France, but if he doesn't want to make a fuss about it, he's got another coming up on the seventh of January. His plane tickets are booked for the New Year, anyway, that means more to him than either of those Christmases put together. This year he decided to pass on most of the festivities because he was – ‘get this’ – working, more interested in echoes and melodies and birdlike sips of muscatel wine than anybody else. Anybody else, but Vincent.

Not that he means anything deep by it. Probably not. Vincent's a friend. No reason Sebastian can't spare a few hours to keep him company. He provided initial sympathy while Vincent mourned his situation and didn't shoot it down when he proposed they go for a midnight walk. At first he was unsure, but two hours in, this is shaping up to be the most relaxed Christmas he's ever known. Yes, they have no destination, and the weather might be so cold that his phone battery straight up died on him. But Vincent lent him his phone to keep, he's good company, and he just likes it when the older man smiles and sweeps back his silver windmussed hair as if to restore order into his world. It's better if Sebastian's the only one who can see it, and even more so if he's the one to inspire such gestures. Vincent's gladness has come to correlate directly with Sebastian's level of satisfaction with life.

"What time is it, Seb?"

"Eleven forty-three. Do you think we might run across someone we know?"

It's not that far-fetched a question. Vincent considers it seriously. "I doubt it. Even if we did, it'd have to be later, wouldn't it?" His phone chimes; a new email. Sebastian takes a peek first and snickers out loud. "Providing no one else's plans fell apart, I can't think of what they'd be – you're laughing. I never see you laugh. What is it?"

Sebastian holds out Vincent's phone, not to hand over, but only to look. "Here. Check this out."

"Eh?"

He's not even trying to hold back his smirk. "It's the adopted son."

A flash of sheer terror and confusion passes over Vincent's face before he gets it. "Oh, what does he want," he grumbles, but it's in high spirits; he's more chastising Sebastian for the reference, and playfully at that. "he and Louis went abroad for the holidays, no? What are they doing sending emails at this hour?"

"Well-wishes. Are you complaining?"

"Hell no. What does he say?"

Sebastian scrolls down. (His breath catches in his throat, registering that Gesaffelstein has worked his name into the email header as well as Vincent's, but he doesn't mention this fact.) "... It's not just the two of them, but the whole Bromance crew, he says. According to him, they're just glad they planned ahead to make plenty of time for themselves. ("Clever," Vincent nods, looking oddly envious.) They're all at a party now. There's a photo. Louis seems drunk. I don't know where Mike's undershirt has gone, and I doubt he knows, either. There's a cat. Hell. That's right. A cat. No word on whose it is. Merry Christmas and a most wonderful New Year to you, he says."

"Beautiful. What colour is the cat?"

"Mackerel tabby."

Vincent is delighted. He leans over to peer at the photo, smiling down at the happy pair and the cat that looks very much like his own. "He's a rascal, that Mike; really, both of them are. But I'm glad someone's remembered me at this hour. Where are they now exactly, did he mention the place?"

They're walking past a particularly well-lit sculpture. Sebastian shields the phone screen with a hand. "Bernkastel-Kues."

"Gesundheit. Where?"

"I just said." Vincent offers a cheeky grin. If Sebastian is in any way charmed, he's still too deadpan to let on. "He must be living it up there, Germany's lovely in winter."

Then, without warning: the warm touch of Vincent's hand upon his, followed by the linking of their fingers. Sebastian looks up and comes face to face with a knowing smile. "Shall we go together next year?" Vincent offers softly, tracing his thumb over Sebastian's own.

Oh.

Sebastian thinks his pulse skipped a beat.

This is not a new subject between them. They're very close. Sebastian's as aloof as they come, but he has always accepted the other's open affections with an attitude beyond simply putting up with him. Vincent's hugged him – he's kissed him – they've been teased endlessly (but always kindly) for their closeness all those years they've known one another. It's no coincidence that Gesaffelstein guessed, and rightly at that, that he and Vincent would be spending Christmas together. Why, it was only last month that Vincent himself suggested that maybe they could give it a try – nothing official, just to see where it might go, he said – and though Sebastian hasn't dwelt on the question since, he never actually said no to Vincent at the time. It just dawns on him then that all he'd offered was a shrug and a faintly thoughtful look; maybe this is the reminder. That is, if he didn't outright hurt Vincent back then and just never realized it until now.

The thought makes him anxious and deflective. "I thought you were a family man when it comes to the holidays."

"I am."

"Is there a leap of logic I needs must make here, Vincent?"

"I'd like us to go together, not that we have to go full speed ahead."

The chime of the bells of Notre-Dame echo across the river. Sebastian realizes that midnight's upon them, and is suddenly mortified down to the tips of his toes; it's officially Christmas and they're spending those precious first few minutes on this. He didn't want to argue – he wanted to give Vincent his well-wishes, and maybe affection then if he wanted- "If... if you're playing games, I'm not interested."

"And not because I'm older, just a friend, or a man?"

Sebastian splutters in shock, but there's no real retort to be made. "Oh, Seb," the older man laughs quietly, squeezing his hand once before he lets go. "I assure you I'm not playing games, but I'm not demanding that you let me sweep you off your feet, either. I should be thanking you twice over for spending time with me tonight; you didn't have to, but you did. And," he leans down, gentle-voiced amidst the last of the bells, brown eyes soothing blue. "I want you to know that you do more than enough for me, Sebastian, as you already are. Friend or brother, or more than that, you're family. You are that and dearly precious to me before anything else we might become."

"..."

"I would never trade that for a shadow of smoke."

I like you too much, is the conclusion that hangs suspended between them, but Vincent does not voice it out loud. He knows Sebastian is not one for excess emotion, not ones he has to wade through in public anyway; Vincent must consider a thanks appropriate, a little flirting acceptable, but that anything else needs pulling back. "Jardin du Luxembourg isn't far from here, it must be a pretty sight right now," he says, and offers his arm, beaming. "Monsieur."

Sebastian takes him up on it. He's warm, scented sweet, a gentleman for his best friend only. Along the way he shyly leans his head against Vincent's arm.

He seems to understand.

-----

There is in hell a place called Maleborge, made of stone the colour of iron like the circle that encloses it. Or so it's said, anyway, within the play of someone else's imagination - exactly the kind that should not be running wild in Gaspard Augé's mind as he stands at the back of this church. The theology brought up this chain of thought, his current situation led him to pursue it; Gaspard's not so much concerned with the thought of frauds and thieves and simoniacs as he can foresee something he might need to do in the near future. He sneaks a glance next to him. Xavier's eyes are closed, lips moving faintly with the hymn. His eyelids are damp and ghastly pale and there's no question that he finds the hymn comforting because it's familiar, because he need not work hard to follow it, because he's too unwell to do much else.

Né si stancò d'avermi a sé distretto. So Virgil to Dante. As he would Xavier.

How could he possibly not oblige this man, is the question.

Gaspard recalls the process through which they ended up here. For the past several years their families have gotten together for the holidays. But this year, Xavier has fallen sick with a cold, and will not be better for Christmas; he requested a quiet couple of days, and Gaspard decided to follow suit, despite the other's protests that it was his God-given right to go and celebrate with his family. "Not even for dinner and presents?" He'd asked through a fit of coughing. "Gaspard, I'll be asleep. It really is fine. Just bring me all of mine to open when I'm better."

"And that's where the catch is, trying to drag the entire pile with me onto the Métro," Gaspard replied dryly, but tucked Xavier in with care all the same. "my place is with you, always. Get some sleep. I'll wake you closer to evening."

"Nnh."

He didn't say anything more, just rolled over with his back facing Gaspard. His response was to ruffle his hair, concerned. Xavier's always been a good sleeper, especially in response to stress. And upon his waking, his guilt has worked as a moving force upon him. Despite his illness, and despite Gaspard's protests, Xavier insisted that they attend midnight Mass; it's tradition for both of them, starting at eleven at the Saint-Sulpice, and wild horses couldn't stop Xavier when he really has his mind set on something.

So Gaspard wrapped him up extra tight and off they went. Halfway to the church Xavier stopped against a wall, his eyes glazed with fever, and pressed his forehead against frozen brick. Even in present time he stands bent over, too much heat and weight upon his head; the twinge Gaspard feels in his heart is that of the old present, Xavier's pain wounding him now as clearly as it did back then.

"Xavier. Xavier, are you all right?"

Ah, yes. He can see him all over again, panting out a breath, eyes bright and cheeks far too pink for Gaspard's comfort. "I'm fine," he'd said, and he'd say it now if Gaspard nudged him and asked. "go, I'm more than strong enough."

Repeat question. How could he possibly not oblige this man?

"Go in the peace of Christ, thanks be to God!"

And then it's all over. The whole thing hasn't taken longer than an hour. The good thing about Mass as a tradition is that there are no surprises. Not too far in the distance, their Lady of Paris rings her bells, and the congregation buzzes with their requisite Joyeux Noëls. Xavier lingers as the others file out; Gaspard squeezes his arm as if to affirm that he was, indeed, more than strong enough. A shadow of a smile crosses Xavier's mouth like he's pleased. Together they wait, and they are the last people to leave, with Xavier leaning with catlike bliss against the first blast of icy Christmas air.

"Ahhh," he exclaims, and breathes in so deeply it looks like it'd hurt. When he regards Gaspard, however, he's bright-eyed in the good way. "do you know something, my dear fellow, I'm glad we went; I feel ready for the New Year already, like I'm done proving myself for this one. What do you want to do now?"

Good for him. Gaspard decides not to mention that this is the most anxious Christmas he's ever had; he's happy if his friend is. "I was about to ask you the same," he says quietly, fastening the last button on the other's coat. Xavier blinks at him, unsure whether to brush him off or accept. "is there something else you'd like to do, or would you like to go home?"

Xavier shakes his head. Gaspard doesn't protest, but places the back of his hand against the other's forehead, feeling for himself what the other was unable to voice all along: Xavier's just too warm for comfort. Forget soup and radiators and blankets. He's reached the stage where he needs to cool his body, and this weather's perfect for the purpose, no matter how he might answer for it later. In the absence of a destination he takes Xavier off the beaten path and proposes that they walk around the Saint-Sulpice, long enough to let the crowd clear, and this suggestion is accepted.

Before they go, though, he'd like to add his own blessings to the holiday. He doesn't have an excuse, aside from that he's relieved the other man's all right, and that Xavier isn't the only one who can be strong and bold. It's not new. He'll understand. "Wait," he calls, and beckons Xavier back towards the entrance; before any inquiry can be thrown in his direction, he dips his finger in the stoup again and crosses Xavier in his stead. "I feel like you could do with a second round," he explains as Xavier stares at him; a drop of holy water lingers on his forehead, beaded delicately against his dark hair, and Gaspard gives into the temptation to kiss it. "get better soon."

He wonders what Xavier's more confused about, the kiss or the gesture or his demeanour. "What doctrine call you this?"

"I don't. It's a blessing. For Christmas." Gaspard rolls his eyes playfully but leads him down the steps, his touch delicate against Xavier's gloved fingertips nevertheless. "There's a prayer that went with it, too. Would you like to hear it? - Our Father in Heaven, O you who are there, hallowed be thy name; visible in candlelight, going over where the river goes, bless us and this city both and please make my friend well. Amen."

Xavier gives him a deadpan look. "Happy Birthday."

Gaspard splutters in mock outrage. "Mec! Really?"

It's always been this way between them, one of them blurting out honest sentiments and the other deflecting. Thanks be to God that Xavier didn't react like this to his actual confession, some five weeks ago; even then, they were always so close anyway that being official hasn't made much of a difference. (They kiss and hold hands more often, yes, but they've had no more intimate or serious or revelatory considerations than what they were already sharing before.) So they've still got things to iron out, clearly, appropriate reactions to sincere good wishes most of all. Little do they know that two of their friends are having a similarly heart-racing time of things, less than ten minutes away. Unlike them, Xavier bails Gaspard out straight away, resting his warm cheek against the latter's shoulder as soon as they're at the bottom of the stairs. He doesn't say anything, but lingers there as they walk, eyelids half shut and dreamy with pleasure.

Later, he will trace the scales on Gaspard's arm, and whisper his thanks as he sleeps. But this is the moment Gaspard assumes it, and the weight on his heart lifts immediately in response; gratitude is always appreciated, yes, but it need not be verbal. Not when two people know each other as well as they do.

"... Gaspard?"

"Mm?"

Xavier raises his hand to where the Saint-Sulpice's Christmas tree stands. "Look over there... right at the top."

He doesn't quite get what he's talking about at first. But upon Xavier's insistence, he soon understands to look past the top of the tree. What he sees makes him smile: doves have settled in each crevice for the night, and from the way the lighting's set up, the golden star of the tree sits at the same level as a pair of snow-white doves tucked up soft and warm against each other. "Show-offs," Xavier mumbles affectionately. "I wonder if they know they're being watched."

The breeze is a gentle one. He catches a hint of Xavier's scent, warm and smoky with the faintest tang of salt.

"You know, Gaspard? ... They mate for life."

Gaspard leans down wordlessly to kiss the top of his head. Their hands have crossed the distance between them and have folded, one over the other, like a pair of wings settling after flight.

Xavier's eyes drift shut. He is too tired to talk much, but keeps pace with Gaspard without too much difficulty. Regardless of whether the pigeons know they're being watched, he knows he and Gaspard ought to be. "I wish they could have seen us tonight," he says, his voice nearly inaudible. "... they should have seen us tonight. I'm sorry I'm so ill."

Ah.

There it is, the heart of the matter, the one Gaspard set aside in case Xavier felt too guilty about it. Their families are still under the impression that they're just friends. Neither would have been surprised to know they were official, but they were planning to make quite the announcement of it tonight. This is why Xavier was so anxious to do something together, even with his illness, so that someone would see them and notice how loving they were. There's a pang in his heart but he presses it back, thinking instead of what he foresaw in the church; he looks down at Xavier and bends his knees, gesturing towards his back.

"May I?"

So Virgil to Dante. It is time to do what he must.

Xavier puts up no resistance. He settles himself against Gaspard's back and slumps contentedly against him as he stands. He's even lighter than the usual, not having had much of an appetite since his cold. "Please still like me?" He murmurs against the other's hair, nuzzling quietly into the birdsnest warmth, and Gaspard hums in response.

The water torture of his heels emptying them both down that Parisian street, evacuated as the channels of their hearts.

This will be one memory.

-----

There is in Paris a cafe called Les Deux Magots, host to Sartre and Beauvoir and countless discussions of prominence in prior decades. Like everything else it's closed for the night, but it is here Vincent and Sebastian pause to contemplate where they must turn; they could have turned left at any of the dozen splits in the road they've come, but they came here because this is the landmark they both recognize. "Hold on," Vincent calls, and quickly crosses the road to check the Mass timetable at the Église de Saint Germain des Prés. He comes back, shaking his head. "last one started at ten thirty, they're all gone now. A pity, even we used to go sometimes."

By this time, Sebastian has had the time to think over all that Vincent has said: Germany, being part of Vincent's family (whatever that means), where their friendship stands. He's not confident he's come to a conclusion, but he can comment on it. "You're a honest man, Vinco," Sebastian says, and Vincent turns around, eyebrows raised at the switch back to his nickname. "but it's seldom you give away so much of it. I was a little blindsided, I think."

Vincent offers a crooked grin. "Merry Christmas. Enjoy it while it lasts."

"Thank you. I, um. You know I'm going away on the thirtieth," the older man nods, a little more puzzled as to where this is going. "my maternal family, in Belgrade – I'm more for the New Year, really, and next Christmas is a long time away for Germany's sake – if you... if you wanted-"

"Mon Dieu, what are you guys doing here?"

Vincent whips around at the voice. What he sees makes him whoop for joy and run right across the road, again. Sebastian only wishes he could curse the heavens but hasn't the strength, not after seeing Xavier heaved upon Gaspard's back; now that's something he never imagined he would see. "Never mind us, what are you doing here?" Vincent's asking in the meantime, while Sebastian cautiously waits for the lights to change before crossing. "Are you coming back from somewhere?"

"Mass at the Saint-Sulpice," Gaspard answers in Xavier's stead. (‘Saint-Sulpice, why didn’t I think of that!’ Vincent exclaims, though he grins at the sight of Xavier trying to clamber down with as much dignity as possible.) He pauses to let him down proper, smiling as his partner throws his arms around Vincent, and then Sebastian too when he arrives. "Xavier's not feeling too well, so we opted to have a quiet Christmas, the two of us."

"Oh, excellent. Don't give it to me or Seb."

"Puh-lease. I'm not that ill. It's not because we didn't want to see anybody!" Xavier's perked up in the presence of familiar people. Sebastian shifts awkwardly on his feet, suddenly unsure what to do in the company of extroverts; but Vincent comes to his rescue again, resuming his place next to him to affirm them as a pair. This is very much Xavier's own language, too, as they find out when he looks at them up and down with a slow wicked grin. "... I'll be. Gramps got a bit lonely for Christmas, huh?"

Vincent's not shaken in the slightest. "Hardly. I'm never lonesome with family around, such is life." He squeezes Sebastian's hand. "And considering you ended up seeing us, I guess now's about the right time to extend that definition. You two lovebirds want to come along and tackle a fridgeful of pheasant with us? Compete for the wishbone, maybe?"

And this is how he and Sebastian never make it down to the Jardin du Luxembourg that night. But the trade-off is better; Vincent has made the one offer neither Xavier nor Gaspard can refuse, considering that they only woke up for Mass and haven't eaten in a number of hours. "Hell yeah, Vinco, lead the way," Xavier exclaims. "and do wish me and Gaspard good luck, if anything – it's been five weeks!"

So they all have a destination now, and they'll all be fed. Xavier hops back into Gaspard's arms, presenting a laughing and faintly damp weight from his fever starting to break. At least part of his illness has to do with the lack of food, and what better cure is there for a cold other than good rest and food and cheer? Vincent gains company and Xavier and Gaspard receives recognition. It’s not quite gift-giving, but maybe it’s better. And as for Sebastian, who has the most important and yet the least concrete desire of all, his initial deflated feeling is not made to last for long. When they're nearly back to his apartment, Vincent gives Gaspard the keys, and tells them to go ahead and set up something comfortable for Xavier to rest on. This he does with gratitude, which lets the older man turn back to Sebastian so he can give him the full attention he deserves. "I've made you wait because I was weighing up what my responsibilities were," he says. "and – you know something?"

"... Ah?"

Vincent smiles. "I confess I've never been to Serbia before."

He loves to travel, but has always lamented that he never got to do much of it in his youth. He's sometimes been ashamed of the fact, unwilling to be open about it to others. Sebastian gets it straight away. It's his turn to be the guide now, as Vincent has been for him. And unlike how he is with almost any other responsibility that falls onto his lap, he doesn't hesitate this time.

"I would like that," Sebastian whispers, and links their fingers together. "I'd like that a lot."

PyeongChang Men’s SP Reaction

FOREWARNING: someone remind me to never do this again I literally sweat through my shorts going through this emotional earthquake

I had reservations about doing this reaction post but I’m watching the NBC mini-promos for everyone (cue lil’ kid saying that Javi is his ONLY hero <3) competing tonight and all the feels flooding in.

Also gonna put my dream podium out there in advance so I can lay claim to my fantasies before they possibly flop: Yuzu, Nathan, Javi (in that order for Gold, Silver, and Bronze), but ofc the best scenario is that everyone skates well and leaves the ice happy and the gremlin judges can do whatever. I haven’t watched a lot of the earlier-group men this season, but looking at their music choices I’m pretty excited for Julian Zhi Jie Yee’s Build a Home program (P/C’s 2016 FS from Euros that year still sticks with me) and hopefully Yaroslav hits his 4F. Just writing out everyone’s name is getting me hella nervous

THIRTY ONE GUYS UP 4 HOURS FML LET’S GIT TO IT, first group up on warmup ice: ayyy Vincent hitting a nice 4Lz-3T

AHHH NBC dropping me randomly into Felipe Montoya’s program right into a botched 3F-2T; c’mon man AISH U TOOK AWAY JAVIER RAYA’S SPOT FOR THIS uwu I kinda dig the all white costume tho but must be a binch to find from the audience viewpoint

Chafik Besseghier actually into taximan more than during the Team SP like yeah sure NBC say it’s part of “French creativity” but that taxi look is wonky...points for commitment though, right? 77.01 with all those lil’ green boxes gouda job Chafik; also a note on that French quirky creativity comment anyone else remember Brian Joubert trying to “disprove” people calling him gay by doing a nude photoshoot

MY BOI Vincent Zhou HITS DAT 4Lz-3T first at the Olympics with that 4Lz-3T combo!!! gah other two jumps off-axis but damn he has the hardest technical content but man you gotta deliver all of it including rotations and GOE; also *pushes glasses up* Vincent ~almost~ got a perfect ACT score wat u doing get that 36 (LOL AT THE COMMENTATORS SAYING HIS SIS GOT A PERFECT SCORE); BANG 84.53 with some stubby GOEs I can live with that new season’s best YAAAS u chase those cars

Okay so the announcement for Denis Ten is in English over the loudspeakers but there’s like a little interruption when they just repeat the word “Kazakhstan” but in Korean phonetics; REIGNING BRONZE MEDALIST LET’S GO nope there goes the 4S-->2S, NICE triple axel though!, also loving the royal blue shirt, triple lutz triple NO (sorry had to say that), but the music is great kinda operatic but not like a loud Bocelli; considering his injuries and other hurdles this is alright, his entire season had a rough start ALSO the flower girls have dresses that match the rink so QUTE also Frank Carroll is still not retired mkay

Matteo Rizzo NICE 3A also considering that this is choreo’d by his mom this is great, strong Italian vibes, really good lines, straight camel with the leg position above the hip, good rotation; love the arms out of the 3Lz this would be a program I would want to do OKAY NBC WE GET THAT U NEED A QUAD TO GET ON THE PODIUM but friggin Matteo’s job is to make his mom choreo proud also considering how this is by far the biggest stage he’s been on after dethroning Ivan Righini, dis is gr8

Michael Christian Martinez honestly still love his taking YOI in stride basically Phichit IRL, not a great performance by any means, really low score in the 50s sheesh but hey that signature Biellmann though! this first group was alright still looking ahead

Yaroslav Paniot that was rough :/// also he took out the 4F and fell on all 3 passes (I mean he landed on his knee on the axel but like...what do you even call that?) damn Tammy Gambill coaches him too, into last place :(( it’s okay Yaroslav

Yan Han going for that hard nose blow and tissue grab looks intense LOVE THAT HARD SLAP ON THE BARRIER you got this my man, AHHH yas more Twilight, NICE TRIPLE AXEL BEST SO FAR man was that rotation fast, crap that 4T still looking for a clean toe in this comp; also these SPs are passing really quickly, Vincent still in the lead after Han’s 80.63

Julian Zhi Jie Yee OMGOMGOMG okay excited for this, awww love the shot back to the opening ceremony; love his shirt with the slight slit V not intrusive but modern and sleek LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE it; AHHH THE BEATS OF BUILD A HOME ready for this show off for Malaysia, NICE TRIPLE AXEL he had so much space coming down, maintaining composure, come on GREAT LUTZ halfway mark here come the lyrics and ahhh slipping on the 3F-3T, I think that content should be enough for him to make the FS, lines could be a bit better but his spin levels seem there good for him! Man he really floated on the 3A I’m hoping this’ll go into the low 70s yep 73.58 good score for him

And cue more ice-less places Brendan Kerry kinda attractive in that down-under way, used to be really smol but then hit that caucasian puberty WHOOO first clean 4T of the comp, like the shimmery dark blue shirt, nice 3Lz-3T who needs a quad sal if there’s anything the pairs comp taught us it’s that going clean leaves a greater impression than hard tricks, saved that 3A, this cut of Everybody Wants to Rule the World is so #inspirational someone get me my book of self-affirmations also getting all these coach-skater revelations Nikolai Morozov coaches Kerry?? dang, whoa slots right in behind Vincent with an 83 and change

Moris Kvitelashvili okay who tf put his name as Morisi on the official docs they actually announced his names as that ETERI U ONLY HAVE ONE BOY, bring on the Buble, smooth 3A that flow, def on feelin good on that 4S, after Boyangman’s Spiderman program I’ve grown to have a deeper appreciation for Michael Buble, he’s really tall but one of those lanky awkward guys but eh I give him props for having the gumption to compete for Georgia and getting to compete on Olympic ice

Keegan Messing LOL his intro “actually born in Alaska, proficient Yo-Yo master” aww singin in the rain WOW nice 4T-3T I’m laughin at clouds too Keegan, oof that 3A fall though, very fast spinner no travelling either...okay but seriously can we get RIka Kihira here to give these guys a 3A clinic or something, for a second this really feels like a Javi program, nice 3Lz to finish out the jumps my god I thought his coach was either Eteri/Shawn White c.2010 hair wow 85 taking away the lead from Vincent; 12 men done, 18 left!

This next warmup group Danny wit dat fresh haircut, NBC hyping up the final group omg chill ur horses, Michal with those sleeve ribbons!

Michal Brezina those bedazzled dragons, WOW QUAD sal (okay I thought it was a flip at first), good 3A nothing under review, not to compare but to compare this is like Seimei beta ver., beautiful delayed 3F, also I feel like I hear people clapping along to the drums but I don’t see anyone...it’s prolly the NK cheer squad, this skate should just sneak into 1st, damn his profile sideshot looks like a dinosaur, AWWW RAF lol still surprised by these coaching situations OH BOI lol just into 1st by 0.04 over Keegan

Cha Junhwan c’mon get that gypsy dance on bring the soul of Wakaba to the games (I expect shoulder shimmies), TAKE A DEEEEP breath Brian, wow dicey moment with the 3F-3T but landed flawlessly, even better 3A crowd goes WILDDDD, quick interjection these scores that are starting to pile into the mid-80s are seriously reminding me of the bronze-medal battle in Sochi I mean yeah now there’s a pretty solid list of 5/6 guys for the podium but still..chills..., might have urs but really bringing the energy otherwisein the stsq arms flairs right on the beat of the music (I’ll count those as shimmies) wow first standing O very well deserved all the korean flags!!

Other sidenote you know who’s gonna get more cool team jackets than Marina Zueva? Brian friggin Orser: Canada, Korea, Japan, Spain, Kazakhstan! all those colors!! gotta catch ‘em all and with a score of 83+ Junhwan goes into that pack of mid-80s

Paul Fentz jacksepticeye doppleganger back on the ice, honestly great 3T-3T screw the squad his air position is really good, wow wild like on the 3A but again great air position (honestly this plus straight legs on camel spins are like the must-haves), also loving this jazzy music it works for him, Wonderwall was WUNDERFUL

Interjection of hockey testosterone jeez being a referee in that would be terrifying you’re wearing no padding sheesh

Misha Ge okay srsly what is the point of saying “Uzbekistan” in English and then again in Korean phonetics? not into the brown ombre, good 3A, getting gypsy pirate vibes gawd that spin extension though ta die fo

Cutaway to Yuzu absolutely DESTROYIN that EZ applesauce pouch (okay it’s not applesauce but man is he twistin every last drop out)

And since I’m already doing this huge ass shitpost I might as well comment on some of the commercials, the 23andme thing where Warren Buffett narrates “ill let u choose any car but u only get one you’d take care of it so well right WELL THAT’s UR BODY”...kinda hypocritical coming from a dude who only eats McDs, See’s Candies, Coke and steak...

Jorik Hendrickx awww I actually had no idea his sis Loena made it too, gosh Je Suis Malade reminds me of Adelina’s failed comeback...anyway good 3A to start; I remember how emotional his qualifying through Nebelhorn was enjoy this bb, wow he’s gonna join the mid-80s pack too judges panicking how tf do we separate them AWW Loena clapping so cute and Jorik smiling!! love this

Also screaming about how I can see the final group on my shitpost list getting closer to my cursor *bites nails*

Literally the biggest actual fuqboi of this comp Daniel Samohin is up with a new ‘do that fresh fade also doesn’t he have that company/group thing black wolf white wolf WELL DAMN BLACK WOLF JUST HIT HIS 4T-3T god remember when he destroyed his shoulder at Skate America, whoa first two clean quads of the comp so far who knew flopchild would it get together at the Olympics also classic Daniel guitar solo ay fuq down on the 3A gdi this is why we can’t have nice things LOL also the first skater to finish in the wrong direction, cute lil’ smile at the end though! Also gonna hit the low-80s aww happy tears!!! omg is that Nikolai Morozov yup 80 points and change jeez top 6 all separated by less than 2 points lol

Group 4 on the ice jeez those short sleeves SLAY BOI LOL THESE ADAM PROMOS literally all of the vernacular “fierce, I’m a full prone monster” *smizes* okay I’m going for a walk and hope to be back by Deniss see ya’ll in a quick sec and good luck to the first five in this group...but srsly I gotta get up or else risk carpal tunnel at this point </3

Adam Rippon, Dmitri Aliev

Okay jk I made it back for Patrick Chan midway through his performacne looks like his first couple jump elements were good supposedly missed his 3A he looks really tense damn PChiddy it’s alright (sidenote his chest looks bigger than I remember), also ofc Dimi is in the lead now with a tech score over 50

Keiji Tanaka, Alexei Bychenko both happened but I took a shower to be clean for some clean skates

Also isn’t it crazy how Deniss is literally skating right before Yuzu man those world standings were a bit of a surprise at first Deniss Vasiljevs (jk my shower also overran his performance so I’m looking at the protocols rn but hey, good thing is my energy’s now conserved for GROUP 6!)

YESS NBC showing (at least part of) the warmup; Javi hits a BOSS 4S so smooth; Nathan’s smiling, Yuzu looks healthy! my god seeing all the faves on ice together warming up at the OLYMPIC stage is just *clutches chest* a lil’ too much for a casual Thursday evening; okay one more set of commercials and we are off to the RACES!!!

Yuzuru Hanyu TAKES THE ICE the first bars of Ballade a personal fave piece, breatheee, head roll, sway,ohmigod you could hear the sound of a pin dropping, come one quad sal to open...YES OH MY GOD NICE 13 POINTS!!! for that one element, great donut spin, 1 2 3 1 2 3 getting all of his levels ofc great character in spins timed to music, love the sound of his blades BLIND MOHAWK INTO 3A TRADEMARK HIT IT’S HAPPENING ONLY THE COMBO LEFT IS HE GONNA DO THE RIPPON ON THE END YES NICE HE HIT IT OH MY FUQQIN GOD THE POOHS THE OBAACHANS IN THE AUDIENCE THIS IS SERIOUSLY MAGICAL BEAT THAT WOWOWOW THE POOH BEARS RAIN DOWN AGAIN I have never seen so many thrown down at once at him DAMN; this is a true champion, my god yes yes YES!!!! my god I don’t know how get got that 3T WITH RIPPON out at the end lol Ghislain Briand and B Orser jumping; WORLD RECORD GIVE IT TO HIM NEVER DOUBT YU.ZU.RU.

He’s still breathing though, looks alright, okay he’s still honestly so young and I understand he exudes this chill outlook which is great but all the pressure had to have gotten him (or he just got unlucky with this bad day :///) nerves?? I know there’s still the free skate left but I want him to walk away from all this feeling okay, not hating skating or anything and making a comeback (hopefully??) in Beijing and maybe having a Chloe Kim kind of moment OH FUQ 13th place 82+...my god

Mikhail Kolyada actually shaking his head after seeing Nathan’s scores we’re all shocked buddy; but skate well hit that sky-high lutz loving your mozart, come on come one; okay triple honestly I just don’t want to see any more thuds on the ice that’s good oh fuck...4T a goner out of the four disciplines this is the one that has the least assured gold medalist and maybe that’s contributing to the nerves? It’s okay Mikhail, your 3A was pretty, and YAY GOT A SMILEY SPASIBO y’know at the Olympics all I can hope for as a spectator is that everyone skates happy and goes as big and clean as possible and leaves happy or at least not too hard on themselves and I know that’s easy to say but so much of sports/life in general is psychological and it just pains me to think of how these guys might react to this under-delivered performances

Shoma Uno smolma please whisk us away with Winter, literally gonna bounce the fuq off of Shrooma if he lands everything please save this; NICE 4F, lines ofc can’t compete with Hanyu but you know...World Silver...he’s got the goods, get those clean edges, skating skills, stsq levels, okay 4T YES YES YES 3T great my god SHOMA SAVES THE TRIPLE AXEL PRAISE AWWWW THE SMILE!!!!!

Stop it, stop it. Hey nazicult, fuck you! joel, fuck you! Y'all don't want to lose again. A lot of people here tonight felt like they lost. You know why? Because y’all been lied to. YBC lied to you. OYK lied to you.Nazicult lied to you. Nazicult, fuck you! I know it’s a lot of real niggas working at nazicult, real people, real socially repressed teenagers with friends and schoolmates that love Hitler jokes, that can’t say what they want to say because for some unknown reason most people don’t find holocaust humor funny past 2008.. And when I say that , what I'm saying is we love Joel, Joel is great. He’s a great kiwifarms wannabe troll. But irlprophetmuhamed is great, too. But you know who the greatest of all of us? Who do y’all think? [Crowd shouts “JACK” and other names] Nope. Izaya motherfucking Orihara. Nazicult, fuck you! Oh yeah, I’m on my drama shit tonight. Nazicult, fuck you. Yeah, I’m taking his lead. I’mma just say how I say, be ‘Ye, and win. I’mma take his lead. Nazicult, fuck you! Nazicult fuck you! Wait a second. Eh, is it, “Nazicult fuck you? That’s what you’re saying?” Exactly.

Not fuck the bloggers that consider themselves neonazis because these is real people that gotta feed they stunted emotional development and they’re not being allowed to say that real shit because they think that in order to feed they self esteem they gotta say the same shit over and over and over. I was raised by KMS , I was raised by Memeufacturing, I was raised by DXM. The last real nigga alive? Naw, nigga! We real niggas alive, we alive tonight, bruh! We alive tonight, bruh! Izaya orihaa is alive tonight, bro. Jack Maccready is alive tonight, bro. Minty is alive tonight, bro. Driad is alive tonight, bro. Marx strayhound alive tonight, bro. Aye, y’all love my show. When I say these names, y’all better scream for me. I don’t give a fuck if you know the names or not, go ahead, Google them. They will give you a little bit of factual information. They will give you that. Why did I name Marx? Because that’s the future. That’s the niggas they got me and Iza [...]. It’s life.

We’ve got a hundred years out here, a hundred years on this planet, bro, and we can have a utopia. We can love each other. But the rules gotta be fair. Joel and nukacult and nazicult and icd and bitchesandwhoresunanimous and everybody. Is it just me or did you hear that song so many times “GAS THE JEWS” Aye, aye. You know what it is, though? Because aye, I love Joel. I love icd. But they set that joke up, bro. And let me tell you something: BWU fuck you! Once again, as always. I’m on my drama shit tonight. Let me tell you what it is, bruh. Aye, you know me. I went down seven years of my life of motherfuckers hating me for saying Amar had the best video. Hey, baby, let’s rock and roll tonight. Y’all might be experiencing a lot of pop shit, but the vibes is back. The prodigal son, Izaya orihara, has returned. The vibes is back. I know it’s going to be a lot of conversations after tonight.

Joel, I know you got hitters from white suburbia. Please do not send them at my head. I just want to have a conversation about how we playing nazicults game. Joel, you a real nigga.Joel, you a real nigga. You got the keys. But as we learn all the politics that niggas was doing for years. BWU couldn’t make tumblr great because he couldn’t be him to be who he was. Black men have been slaves. BWU wasn’t allowed to do this [queefs] and still win. He had to be perfect. But being perfect don’t always change shit, bro. Being perfect don’t always change shit, bro.

So, when I talk about BWU, let me explain something. I was hurt. Amar, I was hurt because I wanted to present a video called “Smoking pot in a motel 6” and I don’t expect BWU to help me. Mr. West, I don’t respect you. I will let you know that Amar is winning the video tonight for “Trying to blink while high on dxm” over “crying on the kitchen floor” and “mega trigglypuff feminist compilation.” They told me beforehand so I wouldn’t run on stage. Hey, bruh, y’all ain’t gotta fuck with me, but you know I got the vision and you know I’mma gonna keep it real with you. Amar, I was hurt. I went down seven years on behalf of your—eh, nigga! Don’t [...] no shit while I'm talking. I am putting my career, my life, my public well-standing at risk when I talk to y’all like this. This is a moment in the [...], bro. The vibes is back. The vibes is back. Motherfuckers might feel a way about this tonight. Amar, I was hurt because I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over “Cringe comp #3493 you cringe you lose” In my opinion—now, don’t go trying to diss Amar. She is great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people. We are all equal.

But sometimes, we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win. Fuck winning. Fuck looking cool. Fuck looking cool. Fuck being cool. Fuck all that, bruh! I’ve been sitting here to give y’all my truth even at the risk of my own life. Even at the risk of my own success, my own career. I’ve been sitting here to give y’all the truth. Tayzaya, call me, bruh. You still ain’t calling me. tayzaya, call me. Aye, bruh, I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man. I’m not trying to be the man. I just am a man, the same as anybody here. I ain’t above, below none of y’all. We all equal. We all equal. This is the vibes, bro. This is the future. This is the way of thinking to make tumblr great again. Ha! You didn’t like that! Guess what? Y’all need the vibes. I was hurt. Feelings matter, bro. The way motherfuckers put money up so high, popularity, nazicult spins. Feelings matter, bro. Feelings matter, bro.

It’s a new world ronnie, it’s a new world. Feelings matter. Because guess what? Everybody in middle America felt a way and they showed you how they felt. Feelings matter, bro. It’s a new world. It’s a new world, BWU. It’s a new world, tayzaya. Hey, don’t send killers at my head, bro. This ain’t the Motel 6 movie. We growing from that moment. Let ‘Ye be ‘Ye. And wait a second. Do y’all agree with that? Let ‘Ye be ‘Ye. Wait a second. I ain’t hear enough screams on that. Let ‘Ye be ‘Ye.

we all scream cause we’re terrified - mt!sans x reader

Welcome back! I was curious if you could write about more about Mafia/MobTale. Specifically, how sans (yes sans again sorry) and his S/O met. Perhaps while sans was on a job, he was in jail, or his S/O found him after the cops or another gang got to him? Thank you for your consideration! Have a lovely time writing!

my part mafia!sans x reader fics (which are linked sorta): x x

summary: the last thing you expect to walk into your little ice cream parlor was a gruff, scratched up skeleton who just wanted a scoop of lemon meringue. the events that occur after, however, are even less expected.

notes: ya’ll seem to like mafia!tale fics, which is cool. if i write inaccurate stuff tho lemme know.

pairing: reader x sans

The tinny bell of your small ice cream shop tinged, signalling a customer.

“Hold on a moment!” You called, bent behind the counter. You weren’t expecting anybody at this hour, but there were the odd few that came during the night, wanting a fix of ice cream after a long day. Which you didn’t mind. It’s why you opened the place, after all.

You straightened and put on a smile to greet the customer, only for it to quickly drop in shock when you see who it is.

A short skeleton met your gaze, hands slid in his pockets. He would have  looked like he would be going out to a party in his pinstriped suit had it not been completely ruined, covered in mud stains and dirt, plus a white powder that you had no idea of the origins. You’d ask about it, but chose to keep quiet. He barely met your chin in height, which made you think he was a kid at first, but once you saw his face, the bags under his eyes and the lazy grin, he looked much older...Despite the fact that it was a literal skull. How skulls portrayed age, you had no idea, but you rolled with it.

He glanced around, visibly uncomfortable with the attention. Wait, had you been staring? Shit.

“U-Uh--” You stammered, smacking your forehead with a sigh in defeat. Taking a deep breath, you pulled out your friendly grin again and tried to speak like a regular human being. “Welcome to Sweet Dreams, what would you like?”

“cute name.” He comments, in a baritone that sends chills to your feet. “i’ll have a couple scoops of your lemon meringue, please?”

You reply in a chipper voice, pulling out a small bowl and a spoon. “Here or to go?”

“y’know what? here. i’d like to rest for a while, if that’s ok with you?”

You completely understood the feeling, sending him a reassuring grin in return. With that, you completed his order and the transaction, and as the register shut, he swaggered over to the nearest table to enjoy his dessert.

You glance at the clock. You usually close up around 3 am, and it’s was 1:30. Considering that it looked like nobody was going to come in other than the bony gentleman, you began to clean up around the shop.

You were the only one who ran it, and since the business was never too touch to handle, it went pretty well. Any money not used for stock, taxes, or bills was yours, so you had a pretty decent nest egg in the safe back at home. That being said, you didn’t spend it very much. You didn’t like to live lavish and lazy, you preferred keeping your hands busy. That much was apparent, considering the callouses on your hands from hefting boxes into your establishment.

With an easy sigh, you grabbed a dishtowel and started wiping tables, humming a little tune as you went. Speakers in the dining area played quiet lullabies (hence the name Sweet Dreams) for ears to listen to as you worked, but since you were always in here they never had an effect on you. 

As you began wiping down a table near your only customer at the moment, you noticed his body go rigid for some odd reason, staring at something beyond the front windows. He stuck his spoon into his half empty bowl suddenly.

“kid, don’t mean to scare you, but you probably wanna get behind the counter again.”

You looked at him quizzically, lifting your towel and opening your mouth to speak.

A bullet shot through the front window and past your right ear.

You dropped down to the floor with a yelp as several more shattered the glass, the shards spilling onto the tile. You ducked under the table you were cleaning, and the guy also had the same idea, reaching inside his suit pocket for a-- Is that a gun?!

“listen kiddo, do me a favor and get yourself somewhere safe, i’ll find you in a sec.” He commanded, pulling himself off the floor to use a booth near the windows as a buffer between him and whoever was shooting. You crawled from your place under the table to the counter, scrambling behind and curling up into a ball, clamping your hands over your ears.

After what felt like an eternity, the muffled sounds of shots firing stopped. You uncovered your ears slowly to hear footsteps coming towards you, sending ice down your spine. Was that the guy from earlier?

A pinstripe clothed leg confirmed your suspicious as the skeleton came into view, breathing haggard and suit riddled with bullet holes. This detail concerned you especially, jolting you to your feet with a gasp.

“Oh my god, you’ve been shot, I’m so sorry!!--” You rushed out, but he raised a hand with a chuckle.

“no bones about it, doll. i’m fine.” He reassures, his grin widening. “i’m a skeleton, after all,”

At this you relax, but a frown still plasters itself on your face. “I need to call the police, and call the insurance comp--”

At this though, his eye sockets widen. “wait, don’t worry about the cops. that’d be a bad idea. i got some friends that can patch up the damage no problem, don’t you worry about it. just gimme your name and number and i’ll get them in touch with you.”

You get a sticky note from the shelf under the register and scribble your info down, handing it over to the guy. Wait, even after this ideal you still haven’t got his name?

“I’m sorry for waiting so long to ask, but what’s your name? I feel like I should at least ask, since you did save my life back there...”

“sans, sans the skeleton.” His expression warms. “it’s no problem. i’ll get my guys out here to fix your property in no time, and in the meantime...” He holds a hand out for the pad of paper and the pen and scribbles down a number. “if anybody fishy starts hangin’ around here, you call me okay?”

You nodded, adding a hopeful smile for good measure. “Thank you so much Sans, I’m pretty lucky that you were here when that happened.”

His expression hardened at that, but he laughed anyways. “eh, it was no problem. say, would you like a way home? i know a shortcut.”

Episode #13: "im so EMO (TION)" - Bryce

I cant believe that im still here. And we have majority. 3 vs 2. Matt is coming to me know saying that he wants to work with me but like. Bruh. But that could be good tho having him. I have to see what happens with immunity first.

OKOKOKOK CAN WE JUST DISCUSS HOW AM I A FUCKING GOAT. FIRST OF ALL Jock destroyers was a pretty dominant alliance i played a SNITCH RAT GAME with exposing plans and i was lied to but like can i get some credit here like first of all it was my fucking ideal to even force a tie, bryce wanted sharky out he didn't want rocks i wanted rocks when my ass was literally on the line here and i was still willing to go to rocks because i don't want to be a fucking goat and do what bryce or sharky wants this is the only way i could get brian SHARKYS #1 ALLY out of the game so that you know who sharky's #1 ALLY IS NOW FUCKING ME. so you know what yeah i'm a goat, greatest of all time actually and i at least deserve some level of credit or respect here to pull some shit off like this. only person on the fucking tribe with the balls to do this shit and i don't even have balls. OK BYE.

i literally dont have words. i keep having meltdowns and like its so not like me i usually just treat games as fun but im just so upset bc brian went home when we could have prevented it and now im in a spot where annabelle and sharky control things and im basically going to get 5th. i really thought i was doing something and life came at me real quick and said learn ur place KJFSHKJDFHSKJ. like the play anna made was smart so go her i just hate that i got played and that brian left with the vote steal and that my game is ruined and i came so far and i thought i was playing alright also i hate how everyone and their mother keeps calling me out for playing the middle KJSFHFKS like grow up and shade me in ur confessionals not to my face im SENSITIVE AUBRY. basically the point is: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/506665419092918273/541697763788980225/image0.jpg

I'm SHOCKED. I swore to Annabelle I wouldn't right her name down. And yet she writes my name down! And just as I was thinking I could trust Bryce HE RALLIES VOTES AGAINST ME! I'm so pissed off, and scared, and hurt, and now I have to scramble to figure something out.

Okay let recap everything that has gone down in this 24 hours since I was betrayed. So I talked to Annabelle A LOT. Basically we've talked to each other a ton. I discover that Anna made the plan for the tie and then Bryce was only willing to flip if the vote was for me. SHADY. I knew I should have never trusted him. So basically either I convince Annabelle to save me, everyone goes to rocks, or Matt and Brian flip on me and I go home. I would have said the last one was super unlikely. So I start busting my ass to sway Annabelle. We have really opened up to each other about our games, she is feeling like she has to make a big move. I talked to her about how I feel hurt because I've busted my ass all game to save Anna and Matt and now they both seem unwilling to save me. I tell the guys we just have to be nice but imply to her she stands no shot of making the end without me and how Bryce is going to win. She has no idea we have the vote steal so Brian/Matt would definitely get Bryce out next. So I go to sleep thinking we are making progress. I wake up an Anna is like "Matt was rude to me so I'm definitely not flipping" so I'm starting to feel really hopeless. And then Matt and Brian both started to dodge the idea of rocks. And Anna is telling me Bryce thinks Matt is probably going to flip. So i'm thinking it's over. And in the FB Bois chat Matt and Brian both keep being like "I'm so conflicted" "we'd be guaranteed f4" "blah blah blah" So now I'm realizing these two aren't willing to go to rocks for me. I've spent this whole season trying to save our alliance at any cost. And now that I'm the one in danger...they aren't willing to take the risk. SO now I get it. I've been too nice. If they are going to put their games above mine and aren't willing to risk it so all 3 of us can make F5...I'm going to have to make sure we take that risk because it's my only shot. So I pitch to Anna a way she can get her rocks and I can be safe. We tell them that Anna agrees to save me. That way they think were set and it'll all work out and then it'll go to rocks and I'll be safe. It's super risky and I'm putting all my faith in Annabelle and I feel so scared and guilty and idk but this is the only way I survive and there is a chance Anna goes and it all works out. But...it's also not lost on me that Anna is willing to risk her own game to save me...but my own alliance isn't. I'm feeling...weird.

Brian went home. I...honestly am just feeling horrible. And he was so mad at me. Like mad to the point that I'm worried I ruined a real life friendship over this game. And Matt is furious too and he's going off on me in our group chat which fucking sucks. Like that was the worst case scenario for me. And it sucks. But I shouldn't have to feel bad about this. Like both Brian and Matt were willing to vote me out so they didn't have to go to rocks. They put their game first so why am I a villain for doing the same thing? And they want to be like "we were up front with you about not being sure" like that's supposed to make me feel better. Yeah of course you were honest you weren't the ones in danger. It's easy for y'all to be honest when you're just going to vote me out. I couldn't have been honest with them or they would have flipped and I would have gone home. How do they not see that? Was I supposed to just give up? How is that fair? And how is it that they can vote me out and I just have to accept that but they can't accept that I saved myself. I'm feeling super alone, like I can't trust anybody, and like my best friends won't even take a second to look at it from my point of view. Of course I feel terrible. I just hope this doesn't come between genuine friendships.

ANNA REALLY JUST CLOCKS ME AND SHE KNOW SHE CAN BC WHAT ELSE AM I GOING TO DO. me matt maynor better be this f3 matt might win tbh but idc! anna has CROSSED ME and like laughs in my face FKJADSHFKAJ like yes ur iconic yes u did #that but im in this game with u and its a lil rude to flaunt ur success at me FKJADSHFAKJ when i do sth good i would never constantly bring it up (btw i won immunity once and got that cute blue color so everyone is jealous prob...) also im so emo i miss dennis and i miss brian they were the 2 ppl who i felt close to in the game and theyre both gone i literally am so upset i feel like if i wasnt so busy before tribal i could have talked to brian more and convinced him he had to vote sharky bc i KNEW anna was voting sharky but he bought her lies and i was convincing enough so i just feel its my fault i lost my closest ally (and his vote steal) although maybe he would have beat me in the end so this is good thing? nope! like i think i played alright in the middle but ppl prob wont respect it and idk if i would bc clearly im biased and maybe i am just a goat and thats why im still in like i rly tried to do sth this round but didnt i just ugh so demotivated hehe but maybe ill snap or sth insert positive uplifting quote here i just hope that i can turn this around and defeat anna and her pet shark. ALTHOUGH ITS LIKE WHERE THE BIG DOG PULLS ITS OWNER AND WALKS IT INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND. im so EMO (TION)

yesterday i was feeling a LOT of emotions and now that i have distanced myself i realize that my emotions were VALID and i am perfect and had the RIGHT to be upset that everything went wrong. i am speaking my immunity win into existence it WILL happen. i HAVE done the homework and even if i flop it (which i wont) i will still NOT GO HOME bc matt and maynor are hopefully on my side. OK BUT LIKE IM JUST SO JKAFSHKAJDSFHADSKFJA

This immunity is very important. We cant let Matt or Sharky win it. We need to have the opinion for them available to be voted out.

So like.... I am upset and feel very alone now in this game. Brian got rocked out and i was lied to again. I am just like so over it. I feel manipulated when I did have all the power and could've got a big threat out. but NO sharky and anna the fucking dynamic duo they are decided it would be fun to go to rocks! I am just so over it. Im getting fucking 5th place and I am MAD.

OR AM I? I decided to lie last night and say i gave my idol to brian last night. Why? It would paint an even bigger target on my back so i can go idoling. Cause of course I am not dumb enough to go and give my idol away hell naw. Instead, I need to knock sharky out of the immunity comp tonight but then get everyone on my case so they vote me. then boom idol. i know that this should get me to f3. I hope. If sharky goes next, and anna/maynor win FIC. then i know i can get at least maynor with me cause Bryce will then be the clear winner out of us 4. then maybe i will have a shot at the win but eh, need to get there first. I hope to god this can work and if not, final juror here i come!

I woke up feeling TERRIBLE. I feel so bad about the Brian situation. Matt won't respond because he probably hates me. I feel like a trash person. And tbh I'm questioning if I even deserve to be here.

I feel sick. Literally this is the worst case scenario. If anybody else had won everything would be fine. And now Matt has like given up which makes me even sadder. I'm honestly considering asking everybody to vote me out. So that Matt at least has a shot of making FTC. This sucks.

I WON IMMUNITY WOOOH IM SO ICONIC IM LITERALLY A LOSING FINALIST AND EVERYONE WANTS ME OUT I FEEL LIKE ILL LOSE IN THE END BUT THAT WONT STOP THESE PPL FROM GIVING ME 4TH WHEN I LOSE THE NEXT IMMUNITY AJKFDSHKFAJ THEYRE ALL LIKE SO VISIBLY DISAPPOINTED I WON IM SO SAD NNNN I WOULD BE HAPPY FOR THEM! i really hope they vote out sharky now bc its literally the smart move but im willing to bet theyll keep him to spite me annas gonna be like sharky needs to stay we get him out NEXT round and maynor might be convinced or sth idk and matt idk askdjfhdkjf i thought we were good but he ghosted me all day today so hm. club 96 nina and tina really falling apart

Matt is literally shutting down. Like I'm trying to talk with him and mend things and try to rally him so we can figure out how to keep us both safe and honestly he's just not interested. He seems disinterested and honestly he's being kind of a brat. Stop pouting! Sack up and help me fight. Because yes I was selfish last round and that put us in a tough spot but It was never my idea to trust Bryce or my idea to ignore that we had a vote steal to secure our vote at F6. I'm not the only one who made mistakes. So come on and let's freaking recover! Or are we just supposed to lay down and award Bryce the win? UGH

I was really on the brink of asking everybody to vote me out. But Matt is being so useless right now. If he's going to act like that he'll just get picked off at F4. He has no fight. So I'm over it. I really do love him but at this point I'm going to have to just try my best to get Annabelle and Maynor to believe that they stand the best chance at FTC against me, instead of Bryce or Matt. I've already ruined my reputation so I might as well at least try to fight. I feel over everything but I have to get it together.

The vote hopefully is between Matt and Sharky. I know Bryce really wants Sharky gone. Annabelle and I are talking and seeing which route is the best for us to make it to the end.

Like wow. My brain is so big. Im pretending that I threw away my idol to brian at the last second, and that I am leaving this round. Whereas in actually reality I still have my idol and sure as heck im playing it tonight and making final 4 YEET. like woe is me, woe is me, lol no bitch im here to stay. Sharky like, needs to leave as well. I love him but 2 big if a threat and I would quite like to well, win.

Oh and as I write this annabelle needs me huh. Well listen here, you lied to my fucking face and got brian out. Thus, you also need to leave bish. I am fed up of being lied 2 constantly by these fuckers called my tribemates and I am NOT here for it anymore. Time to play the lies and deceit game myself huh

This round is so weird for me. I felt like I was in such a tough place and feeling really defeated. But now Anna is getting paranoid and there is a very slim chance I could get her to to vote Maynor and then Matt and I both make F4. But my issues is I can't trust anybody. Because I don't think anybody trusts me. Like Maynor is being very noncommittal. Anna keeps flip flopping and maybe she'll flip onto me. Matt seems on board but honestly maybe he deeply deeply hates me and is just lying and will vote me out.

There is a little over an hour left before tribal. I'm convinced that it's me going home. Everyone seems to be too easy to agree to vote with me. It's not looking good.

Literally wtf. The Biggest plot twist of the century is occurring. I'M THE SWING VOTE?? Like since when in hell was I going to be the deciding factor. I mean I like it, I have the power for once and I am safe but still omg i LOVE IT! I am bunsen the Berner in this image, deciding between 2 fates: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DzD8lXwUwAAgTlp?format=jpg&name=900x900

Having a panic attack. Im really nervous. Like i know its between Matt and Sharky. But there is still a chance that somehow me or annabell could still go. I hope it doesnt and its clear cut with Sharky and Matt. Fingers cross. Or imma die.

i had a good talk with anna today and i kind of love her (as long as she votes sharky) i think maynor might go now which is sad bc anna says matt/sharky are doing that but like matt says that he wants me maynor him f3 so who knows! anna like was honest with me about not knowing who to vote and seems to be voting sharky but literally anything can happen so whomst knows.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH okokok i feel so fucking badly about this move like so badly ughhhhhhhhhh but i feel like it has to happen i'm so so soooo sorry sharky like you have no idea i've been torn all day on what i should do and idk i feel like i lose no matter what this fucking blows

Sharky is voted out 4-1.

[liesofthepatriarchy]

On the subject of whether it is worthwhile for POC to try to talk to whites about racism, this man broke it down perfectly. And I agree with every point he elucidated: "Nope. Not in the least. As far as "why?" Let me count the ways... 1) They don't even know what racism is. - They are incapable of even recognizing it. Can't properly define it. And don't even understand the basic functions, impacts, or consequences of it. Trying to talk to a white person about dismantling *any* form of racism is like trying to strategize with a 5 year old on the most efficient way to cook a Thanksgiving dinner for 100 people when the child doesn't even know how to boil water properly. I mean... you can technically do it, of course. But... really? That's silly. 2) They hate us. - People like to talk about how "nobody is born racist" and shit... so what? That has ZERO influence on real life. The culture that a person is born in HIGHLY dictates a large portion of a person's viewpoint on the world. The "white culture" AND America at large are both racist, anti-PoC cultures. White people are *born* into a racist culture, system, and usually families. So, yeah. While white people aren't born racist... functionally, they are. All of them. In all practicality, white people are born into racism... in all of its forms. They are literally bred for it. This is leads to... 3) The culture and system is specially designed for *them.* - White folks (the old, dead ones) customly designed and built America for white folks and white folks only. It benefits them in every single way possible. Quite frankly... white folks aren't giving that up. Not without a fight. They may talk the talk, but they aren't walking this walk. Speaking of which... 4) They aren't about this life. - Justice, Righteousness, Decency... they don't have a grasp of these concepts. Sure, they know the words, but they have no functional understanding of any of these concepts. White people operate on a COMPLETELY different set of principles... if you can call it that... than we do. White people operate on a principle I like to call "What I Can Get Away With." Let me explain: The foundation of their principle is this Legality. And it operates, simplistically, like this: "If it is illegal, it's wrong. If it is legal, it's right." Now, this isn't in stone, as it is very much fluid. But this IS their starting point. For example, when talking about a racist person, it's alllllllways some white person, somewhere, that has to point out that "Well, being racist isn't illegal!" 😑 No shit, sherlock. Fuck does that have to do... nevermind. Don't want to get sidetracked. This is already going to be long enough as it is. Anyways... To them, being racist - as much as they can understand it at least - isn't even a "bad" thing. Because it isn't illegal. I mean, yeah. They will *say* it's bad, sure. Because they live in a century where it is, on paper, looked down upon. But they don't really think or feel that it is. That's why you will have so many of them voting for people like David Duke down in New Orleans a few decades back, or Donald Trump today. Racism just isn't *that bad* to white folks. Largely because they never experience any of the negative repercussions of racism; only the positive aspect of it, which of course, only benefits white people. So that was the first layer. The second layer of 'What I Can Get Away With' is: What the opposing force can prove vs. what they can't prove. This is what keeps housing discrimination, racist hiring/firing practices, police gangster murders, the indoctrination system (most call it "public school), institutionalized racism, systemic racism, and the in-between racist bits alive, healthy, and well. Because they are hard to prove. And if we can't prove it, we can't properly fight it. But even still, like in the cases of Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, and Eric Gardener, to name a few, we CAN sometimes definitively prove that something racist happened. Of course, this leads me to the 3rd layer of "What I Can Get Away With." And that is: What they can and cannot prosecute me with and win. Easy enough to explain. Considering the fact that they control all law enforcement gangsters, lawyers, judges, jails, prisons, Governors, Mayors, other state positions, Senate, House of Representatives, military, most multi-billion dollar companies, most multimillion dollar companies, etc., etc., etc... well, we are pretty much screwed in that department. Far more often than not. But it makes life so very easy for them. And absolves them of all responsibility for anything bad that happens to the "other" people. So that is, in simple format (because there layers to this shit. Layers upon the layers that I mentioned already), is their functioning principle: "What I Can Get Away With." Not a flashy name for it, I know. But when something THIS damaging functions THAT we'll for a dominating group, it doesn't have to be. Alright. Moving on. 5) They are not responsible people. - White folks take little-to-no responsibility for their shit. Even when they are 100% wrong and can't dispute it? They will tell us, straight up, "Fuck you. Now shut up and take it." Two Examples: All of the treaties america has broken with the Indigenous people. And then, 2) The destruction and massacre of Black Wall Street. After that went down, the city of Tulsa had a meeting about what to do about the murders and destruction. Of course, as usual, there was this one (or two) anomaly(ies) (white people) that were like: "Hey, we need to rebuild that area and comp the surviving Black folks. It's the right thing to do!" And of course, also as usual, the other 98% of the white folks was like: "Man, fuck that. They shouldn't have been successful while minding their business anyways. Besides, do you know how bad it could have gotten if their children inherited all of that and built up on it?? Why, there would be chaos in the streets! Nuh, uh. Fuck them. We are covering this up. No news articles, no new coverage, and deny, deny, deny. Say there was an accident and that just a FEW hundred niggers died and call it a day. Dismissed." And that was the story from then on out, for year, until it no longer was and the truth came out. Of course, even then, white folks were still like "Eh. Fuck y'all, still." Until the 2000s, when the statute of limitations expired and the city of Tulsa could no longer be sued. A Tulsa, Oklahoma police thug came out an "openly admitted" to the events of that "tragic and fateful night" and such. And even offered up some bullshit apology followed up with "I hope we can heal from this now." White people are so fucking irresponsible. No way can they fight against a system that spoils them rotten. White people are always talking about "moving forward" but only at the cost of Black folks losing out on what is rightfully due to us. Hiding behind the "Well, I didn't do it, the dead white folks did. Get what you're owed from them." mantra. They don't want progress. They want to definitively get away with the shit they have done to us. But as long as we speak on their abuse, they can't put it behind them. And this leads me to... 6) They aren't going to put in the work. - And their history shows this. White folks want to be trusted, but they don't want to earn that trust. They fail to have any understanding on how the world functions outside of their whiteness. You see... Black people and other minorities distrust (and many hate or strongly dislike) white people because of the shit they actually DID. Because of things that were DONE. TO us. BY them. They EARNED our distrust. But they have NOT earned our trust. Black Wall Street, Slocum Massacre, Sweet Auburn, Rosewood Massacre, Tuskegee Expiaments, Chicago Race Riots, the lands stolen from Black people in places like Birmingham, Kentucky, Pierce City, Missouri, Ocoee, Florida, Holmes County, Mississippi, and Sweet Water, Alabama (just to name a few), Pig Laws, Black Codes, Jim Crow era- these, and more, are ACTIONS, and I mean BIG actions, that has EARNED every bit of distrust and dislike toward them. And they have ZERO record of doing the opposite. (And, no. Two or three white people donating to a charity for a tax break doesn't measure up against even a SINGLE Black life. Or Indigenous life. Or Hispanic life. Etc. Two or three hundred white folks participating in a march doesn't mean SHIT at this level that I am talking about. Appreciated? Sure. But that's still BARELY a drop in the preverbial bucket. Barely.) White people ain't doing this work. They have no investment in it, not even the most basic understanding needed to get started, and nothing to gain from it. And, yeah, there are your anomalies here and there. Obviously I'm not talking about those 8 or 9 hundred people or so. So any bleeding heart that made it this far can take a breath and prevent your "not all white people" mantra. I don't want to hear it. Those are just a FEW reasons why I think that talking to white folks about this is an utter waste of time. I respect those that try. But I'm not doing it. Too much work for too little (none) reward."

Walsh on WC: Diaries of a Broken Man

EPISODE 3

 - Wednesday post-FA cup tinkering time (lol at spurs).

 - Hopping onto slack to find out what it means for doubles and blanks in the future. I made a joke about deleting my team and someone validated me. I am seen and I can feel the feels feeling throughout my body.  

 - I am not going to really go insane and alter any picks in my team based on the four games that will be played in GW31. I have no problem free hitting then and there are 10 other gameweeks as well so I’d like to take this opportunity to pick the best team I can for this moment. Or I just have 8 players or something and fuck it.

 - Kevin is hurt? Oh good. That is fun. Probably just keep him I guess whatever. Bald fraud is probably frauding his life away with this bullshit.

 - Arsenal and City double this week..fackk. Don’t really know what to do about this right now. I didn’t love the team balance with Auby in and I still don’t just because he has an extra 2 points up against City. Not only that, but I am growing more attached and attracted to DCL Jota Jim front three. All feel like very good value and good picks.

 - I still like the double Arsecast defense set up too. They have decent fixtures upcoming and with no other comps I feel like they will be picking up some cleans. But is Leno better than Ederson? Hmpf. Not sure. Probably not? I’ll put Ederson in. And Leno too sure why not. Fuck it.

 - Midway through feels like about the right time to begin to consider Raz. Dunno if he’s first choice anymore and was shit all season but if I’m not playing around with everything than what am I even doing? Actually maybe Walker is a reasonable shout now? Hm. Hadn’t considered him either. Hmmmm. Pep seems to hate Cancelo. Maybe Walker is an actual good option. What am I talking about with Raz. Fuck I’m losing it today. Ok I’ll put in Kevin and Kyle and Ederson for now. Feels sort of fine kinda low risk can hide them and shit if I want to like in GW32 when they have Livp. I dunno.

 - Hmmm ok so now suddenly I have 1 liverpool player, somehow. I keep looking at Bruno. Really hard to imagine rolling out of the WC with him I can tell.

 - We were just talking about how bad City defense is on the pod and now I have two of them. What am I doing?

 - Could Raz be good again? He used to be good but he’s not been good for a long while. Been playing FPL while City are just such hard dongers it feels very strange to have only Kevin in attack but I really don’t like much else there.

 - Still really struggling to find a compass on Livp players other than Trent. I really don’t care about going diff cap / playing around with cap through the end of the season so maybe I just go without Mo or Mane. Fucking they play Bournemouth this weekend though. God bless. Having Mane does feel good. I don’t think I’ve owned him all season? Let me check. Ya, I haven’t. Also a real consideration is being able to watch Liverpool games…which basically they are all televised here…not owning an attacker would be really shitty.

 - I still have Kyle Walker in.

 - I don’t really mind only single Livp defender that much.

 - I wish there was a 2.7m midfielder in the game but I keep searching and sorting by price and I can’t seem to find one.

 - Maybe I should roll with one light fifth defender instead of five heavies.

 - Is it dumb to not have Ozil? Could be kinda dumb.

 - Fuck I’m feeling lost right now.

 - Maybe I should get Auby? My team structure is pretty messed up while I keep toying around with these lads. Eh I don’t know. I like Pepe P3p3ga.

 - It’s going to be hard to spend all this money on the bench with Mane and 11m worth of keepers I am noticing. Did I like the team more when I had Bruno and Rich and shit maybe? Maybe it was better.

 - Hmm seeing that Villa will have two dgws..maybe Grealish is a good long term pick. I wouldn’t mind benching him usually anyway. So like is it better to have Bruno and Grealish than Mane and a piece of shit midfielder? Ugh my head is spinning I think that’s enough for today.

 - Current tink with 0.3 in the bank:

Leno/Ederson

Bellerin / Trent / Walker / Alonso / Dock

Pepe / Kevin / Grealish / Sarr / Bruno

DCL / Jim / Jota
