Eunyung and stealing

HJ | Parallels | Details

Eunyung had never stolen anything before the first time he was accused of it, after running away the first time. He didn't steal those headphones, yet still got beaten up for it.

His dad didn't even let him explain himself before starting to hit him. Only afterwards did EY get the chance to say he didn't do it so his dad could hear, who ofc didn't care enough to believe him. Instead of trusting him or at least listening to him, he asked EY to apologize for sth he didn’t do and just get the whole thing over with.

^^ Here, EY was caught off guard by his dad's "gentleness" (<- not hitting him) when he leaned down and whispered to him (hence the small blush above). To me, it seems like he had a sliver of hope that his dad would be nice to him for once. But the gentleness vanished quickly as his dad then proceeded shaming and guilt-tripping him into apologizing (hence the blush below).

That tactic didn't work bc EY knows how unfair the thing he's being asked to do is. He knows he's innocent bc he really didn't steal anything. When he refused and insisted he really didn't do it, his dad pulled the "I'm so disappointed in you. You never change"-card.

Now, that tactic worked. In the end he just gave in and apologized as told in order to avoid more conflict and finally get out of that uncomfortable situation -> Something like resignation

(^^ This also ties into why EY was so upset with HJ's words during Thanksgiving's arc -> he hates the idea that he can't change and will stay like this forever. That's also a reason why he apologized despite being innocent -> EY wanted to prove his dad wrong: He can change. He can be something other than a disappointment not worth anyone's time.)

The guy who actually did it got away with it and EY got made fun of for being stupid enough to take the blame. He sought out the guy to take revenge bc he knew there'd be no other type of justice for someone like him.

His dad’s actions that day (wrongly accusing and forcing EY to take the blame) is what pushed him to try stealing -> If he was going to suffer the consequences anyway, he should at least benefit from it somehow by actually stealing sth and profit from whatever he stole. That way the accusation would at least be valid.

That day, EY learned to seek justice by himself because no one else would; and he learned to steal. He started stealing in his first year of middle school, one month after running away from home for the first time. All because of his dad. EY never had a father, he had the opposite of a role model -> he knew what he did not want to be.

#<EY's dad taught him to steal. EY never had anyone in his corner standing up for him. Ey did NOT want to be like his dad.> #this is again the 'growing into the role everyone around you gives you' #if you run away and are homeless people will expect you to engage in criminal behavior and steal things you need #<- you've already been assigned that role/label. #if people will assume and treat you like you're a criminal no matter what you do (and therefore suffer the consequences of said assumption) #you have nothing to lose. if you actually start stealing. nothing will change and no one would be surprised #your reputation will stay the same. however. this time you'll at least have the headphones you took when no one was looking to enjoy. #'everyone already thinks i'm a delinquent. might as well. why not? especially if i'm going to get sth out of it' #<- i'm trying to explain his thought process i hope it makes some sense #(guess what my major and minor are. i bet u won't get it right) #also if you look at how ey's dad treats and talks to him. you can see exactly where his issues with some of hj's words stem from: #'don't say i can't change. don't look at me like i'm trash or not worth your time.' #'don't dismiss what i'm saying/doing. stop flaunting your strength at me/hurting me for no reason.' #<- to name a few #no home #no home manhwa #meta #stealing arc #multipart #집이 없어 #webtoon #eunyung baek #ey hj parallels

Jonathan Crane request where reader is a student of his (professor Crane au ish) and also happens to be the daughter of a certain millionaire in Gotham 👀

love the idea that Bruce is with Selena at this point and when he finds out about reader and Jonathan he like

“you can’t date someone with a criminal alter ego!!”

and she’s just like “really?” As she points to Selena (who’s still in her Catwoman outfit) sitting on the couch.

Meanwhile Jason is standing on the sidelines like “date who you want sis but if he makes the slightest mistake I will kill him and pretend I always thought this was a bad idea”

Hypocrites ↦ Professor!Jonathan Crane × Student!Female!Reader

so, i don't normally write for comic accurate scarecrow/jonathan crane and I don't watch Gotham, nor do I watch Titans as I'm more of a Chrisopher Nolan kinda gal, so i apologize for any errors, BUT in my head, I'm still thinking of Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway & Cillian Murphy when I write this, so once again, I apologize

Warnings: mention of getting robbed, mention of guns, reader is Wayne's adopted daughter :)

Being a Wayne had its advantages as well as its disadvantages. Anyone who saw you, assumed you were daddy's little girl, when in reality, you weren't. He never treated you differently than his sons, except for when it came to relationships as he didn't want you to be a female version of him, however, he didn't think you would come out to be in a relationship with your professor who just so happens to be the villain he's been after.

You told your dad and Selina that you had a boyfriend and while they were ecstatic, the disgust on your father's face didn't go unnoticed when Jonathan Crane came through the doors of the mansion.

First, your dad had no idea that Professor Crane was Jonathan Crane as he thought it was a funny coincidence. Second, he was taken aback that his daughter decided to get in a relationship with her professor out of all people. Selina wasn't there as she was out doing who knows what, but you didn't complain as you knew your father was in love with her just as much as she loved him.

Plus, you witnessed their flirting when he was dressed as Batman the one time, they saved you from getting robbed. It disturbed you, but you didn't say anything. You thought out of all people, your father would be understanding, but he wasn't, and it was kind of annoying.

Jonathan rested a hand on your knee, reassuring you that no matter what, he'd be there for you. "You know dad, I would've thought you, out of all people, would understand." He tilted his head to the side. "What's that supposed to mean?" You shook your head, deciding not to spill his secret, especially knowing the truth about Jonathan. However, when he gave you a kiss before he left, your father nearly went crazy. Then, Selina came home and tilted her head to the side. "Everything okay, Bruce?"

"(Y/N) is with Jonathan Crane!" Selina gasped before taking off her head piece. "Really?" You glare at the both of them and scoff. "You better not give me a lecture about this!" She sat on the couch to remove her boots and raised an eyebrow. "Why not?! Sweetheart, he's a villain!" You suck your teeth, your anger bubbling. "Dad, why does it matter?! You're with a villain too, are you not?" Selina raised her eyebrows in disbelief at your words and Bruce rolled his eyes. "She's an anti-villain, first of all,"

"You know I do bad for good (Y/N)." You run a hand down your face. "Unbelievable. I thought you would understand, dad!" He shrugged as a scoff escaped his lips. "Well, I don't, sorry (Y/N)." Jason cleared his throat. "If I may, I have your back through this little sis, but like, if he breaks your heart, I'll pretend I was on Bruce and Selina's side this whole time. How does that sound?" Bruce glares at his son. "What?" Jason shrugs. "Hey, I'm not gonna Romeo and Juliet this whole thing, okay? If she's happy, I don't care! He just better not break her heart. My guns are always oiled and cleaned."

[sammysdewysensitiveeyes]

12, 15 (I think I know this one but here's you're chance to wax poetic), 20 (can't be pyro), & 21 for avalanche!

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Since I have already posted a ton of headcanons for Pyro over the years, I'm giving this question to Morph from TAS. Exiles Morph was born with his X-gene activated (basically appeared as a white blobby vaguely human-shaped baby) and also lost his mother to cancer at around 13 or so. Since TAS Morph seems less powerful than Exiles Morph, I tend to assume they were born "normal" and developed powers later, but I consider the dead mother to be part of their backstory. So, my headcanon is that the first thing TAS Morph ever shapeshifted into was their mother - shortly after the funeral, when they were desperately missing her and wishing they could see her again. It completely freaked them out, and it took a little while for them to go, "Oh, I'm a mutant and also shape-shifting can be fun." But if any X-Man ever asks Morph how they discovered their powers, they always give a wacky joke answer because the truth is kind of a bummer and they don't want to get into all that, not to mention all the weird Freudian implications. (Of course, X-Men 97 might completely negate this headcanon.)

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

You're right, you know it's gonna be Pyro and Avalanche. Honestly, I just love the contrast of (relatively) serious, stoic, less chatty guy with excitable, extroverted gregarious guy (not mention the big guy/skinny guy aesthetic). I think Pyro is constantly dragging Avalanche out to DO things, and Avalanche (mostly) enjoys it. And the way those two have been together for so long, through thick and thin, Avalanche going with Pyro to the Savage Land to try to find a Legacy Virus cure even though he's not infected and there's no personal benefit for him. I can't imagine Avalanche going to such great lengths for anyone else. Like even in canon they are bros, even if the comics won't let them bang. From their very first introduction you see them having each other's backs and not really fighting with each other the way they both occasionally fight with Blob. And, much like Mystique and Destiny or Blob and Unus (or Black Tom and Juggernaut), I just love the idea of two criminals in love.

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

For Not Pyro. Hmmm.....I'll say that I think Toad should be good friends with Blob, because they have both been on the same team (a few times), both have mutations that make them "ugly" in the eyes of most people, and are treated badly because of it. They've both been through some shit. And I think Freddy's general attitude of "Fuck you, I am who I am, and I'm okay with it," might help Morty deal with some of his own issues. Freddy doesn't really take any shit from anyone, and seems comfortable with himself in general, while Toad is always full of self-loathing.

But since Toad is currently part of the Exiles, I kinda hope he manages to bond with some of them. Third Eye at least reached out to him. Let Toad have some friends.

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

For Avalanche - much like with Blob (or Pyro) I want to give him some internal complexity and not just write him as a dumb, violent criminal, even though all three of them often are in the comics. And filling in his backstory, of course, dude has been in comics for decades and we know almost nothing about him, even his supposed "wife." One of my headcanons is that he grew up in a large family as one of the older kids and therefore knows a lot about dealing with children because he was expected to help look after his siblings. Put him in a situation with a crying baby, and he will automatically take charge, whether he actually wants to or not, he just jumps into the role of "I guess someone has to deal with this." He has a love-hate relationship with his family, he hated all the expectations and responsibilities placed on him, but he misses the sense of community, and having a place where he "belonged." He also probably got kicked out for being a mutant.

What I don't like in fic - how the popularity of "Lance Alvers" from X-Men evolution has completely overshadowed Dominikos, and any fic with Avalanche in it will likely be Lance. Much like movie Pyro John Allerdyce has mostly overshadowed comics Pyro in fandom. And I actually like the adapted versions, sullen bad boy American teens Lance Alvers and John Allerdyce are both interesting characters. But they definitely are very different from their comics counterparts, Lance is basically just Rictor in all but name, and it's made it hard to find any fan works for the original versions of the characters.

>They liked the idea of the Greeks being the villains, which is imo a really stupid choice, but whatever The Greeks literally attacked Troy.

I guarantee you, if you'd been a Trojan person, knowing that an army was trying to take your home, and ultimately being forced into exile, with nothing to hope for but the prospect that your descendants might eventually found the city of Rome, you'd think of the Greeks as villains.

Look at what Russia is doing to Ukraine RIGHT NOW. Look at basically any war in history.

You're DAMN RIGHT the Greeks were villains. Remember, most people in wars aren't Achilles, the immortal heroes that songs are sung about. Most people aren't even Hector, dying meaningful deaths in the tragic advancement of a doomed cause.

Most people are just innocent bystanders swept up in the ambitions of ruthless politicians like Menelaus of Sparta, condemning unknown thousands to death for the sake of blind ambition.

Look at any piece of war footage depicting a city which has been besieged by an enemy army, and tell me with a straight face that the Greeks were not the villains. Read the harrowing reports from Sarajevo in the 1990s, and tell me Menelaus shouldn't have been charged as a criminal. Visit the mass graves dug by weeping neighbours, who buried the bodies of their countrymen in huge numbers, with no time to properly mourn them, because they couldn't deal with the risk of a plague on top of everything else they were facing.

Seige warfare is a brutal, inhumane situation, and the Greeks were absolutely the villains for imposing it on the people of Troy.

so first of all, let's be clear here, this is from a discussion about the failures in storytelling in 2004's Troy, starring Brad Pitt, a movie with 54% on Rotten Tomatoes and many, many, obvious flaws.

so like

this is fascinating

where to even start

you know the Trojan War as depicted in the Illiad didn't actually ...happen, right? like...it's a story?

none of those characters were real, none of those deaths were real, & while there was a real historical Troy, and it's possible that it may have experienced a war that ended in its downfall (we have no way of knowing), it certainly wasn't 10 years long, it wouldn't have involved nearly so many combatants (or civilians for that matter), and certainly didn't involve any immortal heroes.

I'm gonna assume you know that, it's too much for you not to know that

but that means you're upset by the suggestion that the story of a fictional war about big personalities having personal conflicts which play out a grand scale

is more interesting if both sides are presented with nuance

- as, indeed, they are in Homer's Iliad -

and you feel that we should, instead, treat this story about a fictional war with all of the gravity and literalism of the invasions of Ukraine and Sarajevo?

I mean

that's sure something

that's a big opinion you have that you felt like you needed to share

do you, like...do you struggle with this a lot, in fiction? like do you get really mad at characters for committing war crimes in other stories about fictional wars? is anime really hard for you? there's a lot of child soldiers in anime

do you get mad about pokemon eugenics?

I don't know, you're not hurting anyone so it's not like it matters, but thoughts and prayers

[bbq-hawks-wings]

Chapter 299: Despite everything, it’s still you.

Omg, there’s so much to talk about. We go so many answers this week and there's so, SO much to talk about. Ok, let’s just jump in!!!

Let’s go ahead and start from the beginning and work our way forward from there, starting with his parents.

Us: Horikoshi, can we have super cool Thief Takami?!

Horikoshi: We have Hawks’ dad at home.

Hawks’ dad at home:

Played like a fiddle, and I think we knew it was going to happen, too. LOL I will only give Horikoshi the one criticism that relying on vague details like “thief and murderer” next to Compress‘ reveal was an unintentional red herring for a lot of us, and the name “Takami” which came from his father clearly mattered, but not in any way that we expected. He was just some paranoid, two-bit wannabe thug.

So paranoid that he never let Keigo leave the dilapidated house where even the unnecessarily mean barbed wire fence was deteriorating, possibly making him go barefoot at all time to discourage him from leaving but definitely neglecting him and his needs for clean clothes that fit and a home that isn't filthy as he occupied the only space he allowed him to exist in while he sent his mother off to do his bidding.

In other words @sleepwalkersqueen's Shinyo is an infinitely superior. We're keeping him. Sometimes fanon is better.

No, it turns out the person that molded his worldview most and impacted the way he viewed himself was his mother. It was even her quirk - a disembodied sense that could watch from far away - that transformed his father's otherwise feeble, rigid feathers into the fantastic, one-of-a-kind quirk he has.

Hawks was not an accident. He was a band-aid baby she had to try to get Takami to stay with her because she didn't know how to live without him. She doesn't come to her baby's defense like Rei did for her children. When the father of her child beats and screams at him, she doesn't even turn to face the scene - it's only when he expresses dissatisfaction with her and his life in that house does she respond, and even then it's with,

"Don't leave, ok?"

Not once.

But twice in as many minutes.

It's why when she panics and realizes that having Keigo didn't work to keep him there with her, and not only that she's on the run for staying with him with a ball and chain now also around her ankle she asks:

"Why were you even born? Why do you even have those wings? You aren't useful or any good for me or anyone else. You're a waste of space."

Tomie was a woman who placed her worth in the validation of a man happy to use her for the value she could add to his criminal enterprises and nothing more - a woman frail of heart and mind who asks her small son what to do instead of assuming responsibility.

She doesn't have the strength of will to accept that she had a role in her own fate and especially the fate of the son she brought into the world.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't love him.

Hawks remembers this moment as his mother indulging him once to shut him up after his father insisted he never so much as leave those four broken walls; but that's not what's happening here at all.

She doesn't say, "Don't tell your father." She says, "Your father doesn't need to know about this."

This is a treat - given to him for no reason than to spoil him a little bit. She doesn't realize he doesn't even register that heroes are real people when she buys him that plushie. He sees just a cartoon character she says is strong, and she's encouraging him to be the same to give him hope and an ideal to strive towards even if it slips later. This moment is for him and him alone.

And when he realizes that heroes are REAL people, who REALLY do make a difference, in ways he may not see but clearly impacts him ANYWAY!?

It's LIFE CHANGING.

Life isn't a bleak dead-end series of disappointments. He can fight back against the hurt the world dishes out and help people, too, so they don't have to suffer like he did. He can be a shining light as bright as the man who brought light into his dark world even from so far away!

It's a shame that he also inherited his mother's sense of self-worth and believes to this day that his worth lies in being useful to others. As long as others suffer in any way, he won't find peace in his existence.

There's more to talk about, but I'm already at the image post limit and have as much to talk about, so I'll post this here and reblog with the continuation, so keep an eye out for it in just a moment!

Prompt #7 ~ A Tale Saved

Previous - ♫Raccoon City♫ - References

(Third Person: Narrative) "I never speculated. It'd be you who saved my life... again. In youth an unsung hero emerged and rescued me. Showed me hope and taught me to be brave. When I seemed to be sentenced to abuse. 'You're going to learn overtime you'll be in power, and th' Captain of yer fate!' This stuck with me. I dedicated to learning medicine, so I could spread in healing people, like you affected me." A quill bronze-skinned feminine hand took pause from her diary entry. -- Sometimes those who hurt the most, are those wishing to prevent others from experiencing the same struggles, prevent from suffering in that horrible realm, that seems nearly inescapable. They put on tough faces for others to prevent showing old wounds that still linger, trauma doesn't disappear instantaneously. It's a processed mend which paces in everyone's unique recovery. When finding work in a free clinic underneath the slob, mangy, putrid soul's of the lower and less regarded, she always held work with suturing and stitching up squabbles between pirate's, rowdy uncontested foul. A place in which her past carried the most wounds, she returned wanting to find more. While redefining that place. The learning experience and challenge of continuous work, left her unknowingly developing remarkable skills. Of course her failure's in saving netted her many unpleasant threats from Crew-mates, Captain's, she couldn't fix up or yells. It was easier to lay the fault of the healer in grievance. Then a fool or unwise decisions caused by the injured and the company responsible for securing the well-being of their fellow. Bottling up and stacking her shortcomings, she woke up with only her will in activity, reinvigorated to hone better, determined and reciting to herself, that fateful day she was shown kindness in a cruel world if it existed, at all... Slowly steadily she earned a reputation and whispered rumors of her talents in the realm of an underground circuit of criminal's, heathens, outcasts. Though she never heard this appraisal or bolster at first because of the nature of her clients.

Remembering that maintaining positive influence is a battle. It's more likely to be uncovered and swallowed with misfortune and realism because it comes in more dreadful abundance. Helplessness felt like strangling her chest. It didn't matter how much she cauterized and bandaged, or fixed, it kept spilling over the staples that never lasted. She felt eventually her passion was becoming aimless and starting to wither again. The First Crewmate brandished in gold appeared at the clinic with a cutthroat approach. His motions were proposed. "I require you... My grandmother is gravely injured and cannot use the function of her arms." Naturally she rejected sweetly, "You'll have to bring her during business hours and follow the queue." The seemingly unreadable only registered as another barbaric brute who couldn't get what they wanted sighed out and pulled out a deadly knife. "You'll find the time to save them." I was reminded of my past, the same abuser and all those I walk aside that run quantities in Limsa, I felt pitiful that my voice remained mute. Then as that First Crewmate honed in a linkpearl call to demand their client. I never suspected it'd be a Captain; the same one from my childhood and neither did I suspect you also recognized me. Damaged and appendage arm's that couldn't be lifted ton's more scars, scrapes, wounds and I could tell was also conflicted approached. And instead you rejected and redefined everything one would assume by the surface. "Judas... Ye really holding her hostage? I'm sorry mate, but this isn't how I'll be treated. I'd rather remain, armless and dysfunctional... You haven't any clue what the sacrifice cost a healer or how they're never given proper gratitude for the lives they save, especially under this rat-sack of a City-State. Long ago, I wouldn't have been any better, I'd selfishly desire only t' see myself conditioned. I owe my past. Debt's aren't a pirate's comfort." Confused, the two bickered against each-other. It's when I saw the frustration and panic, the First Crewmate who was forced to disarm, was doing this out of not only reason, but admiration and love. He stormed off irritated with almost a disappointing and deadly dirk-gaze. Then I watched heels beginning to leave determinedly willingly to go without preserving themselves selfishly, rather be shattered, while also an apology was muttered low. I froze as if time was halted. The curiosities and you disappearing again, like almost, as if you were a ghost. There once, then vanishing without a trace of peep. Eventually that's when I found myself first following. Finding out you were troubled too like myself. I couldn't fix the arm's entirely but instead you praised me for my attempt and then you offered me a job, or to join your Crew. To explore mending outside and maybe expanding out would do me better, you said. I struggled joining for a while, but because it was you, I saw you held hope for me. The Crew is assorted with amazing wild people, from all acts of cultures, each carrying such lofty dreams, grand visions. Most larger than themselves. I felt like an outcast, and when you needed me the most and the Crew. When that dark-caster appeared, Silv'a, on the seas, turning me to a sheep, I once again felt useless and discouraged, defeated. Tried silently to vanish and not be a burden. I felt only the emotion of drowning under the pressure. Attempting to plunge deep down under the seabed. But you showed up on the decks even at night when all others were asleep, you saw how I shut myself in days and became more quiet and reached to me. Like I was a star, you once already saw loss. "...Casta, it's because yer ordinary. You fit with us. You remind us ov' everything we may forget or miss. You're special beyond all. We-- I need you upon this sea-vessel in my life. I don't need you to become violent, or monstrous, I need you to be yourself, and remind me what it's like not to be one." "You exist as a world, only you can Captain and show me. I will follow and always b' there t' see yer wonders and secure t' protect; you

and I... Believe we can heal together. Though your steps are yer own, what do you wish?" You said with an arm extending out, ready to give an embrace, or still chase to throw yourself under with me. I could see in your eyes that you knew what it felt to be alone and tried hoisting others from the same. It was a step away from walking overboard, or turning to you and the sail. I'm writing and devoting these chapters to this journey, this is my diary logs reciting, The Tales of the Goldbrand... I want all to know even though you believe in fading like the pirate's of old. I chose to live, Captain... You showed me what that means, again... - My Captain, who saved your Crew Surgeon, Casta. <3

> Warnings: Mostly angst + fluff, character death and some violence. Nothing too explicit. Mentions of blood/mild injuries as well as alcohol. (characters are aged up!)

pt. 2 || pt. 3 || pt. 4 || pt. 5

Percy's thumb rule was never do anything he didn't want.

To live a happy and healthy life, that was completely normal; especially for such a laid back guy like him.

Choosing this... rather wild career was something he wanted to do, willingly. Life was short, so why not make the most of it? It was getting awfully bleak with the normal civilian life. After all, no one would believe the nice young man who helped the old man carry the groceries to his car would be someone who killed for a living. A smile so bright that it could give the sun a run for its money and warm sea green eyes could hide so much more than just innocence.

The ceiling to floor windows of his penthouse showed a breathtaking view of the New York skyline, sun moving behind the tall buildings and moon replacing the orange hue. Being an assassin had its perks- despite endangering his life on multiple occasions. The pay was just out of this world. All that cash just to kill off some sleazy politician, or that one corrupt buisness man? Sign him up. Zero hesitation.

Percy frowned at the dried blood on his once pure white gloves. He was quick to peel them off. He shuddered at the unsightly view of a small stain of blood on his onyx-colored suit.

He would just buy a new one later. Small things like that didn't matter. Sure, that might've been a gift from one of his clients, but it wasn't anything he couldn't replace.

Hanging his coat on the rack beside the wide entrance, he sighed with clear tiredness. One night of forced politeness and smiles took a toll on him- Also due to the fact that he had just done his job as an assassin. It wasn't what you could call easy.

His muscles were aching and sore in all the worst places, every move throbbing with full pain. The shallow slash on his lower abdomen had soaked his shirt in a dark crimson red, most likely going to leave a bad stain. He would have to clean that later.

The penthouse was big and rather spacious. White Walls and abstract paintings lined them, reflecting off the almost pristine marble floors. It took a while for Percy to get settled in, it being a huge place and all that. But he soon made it feel like home with the help of old picture frames that held memories and the Nemo stuffed animals resting on the leather couch.

“WOOF!”

And Mrs. O'leary.

Mrs.O’leary- a huge, slobbering dog with thick black fur- bounded towards him in a frenzied greeting. She hopped up on her hind legs to lick his face, tail wagging at a unmatched speed. She barked again, this time more quieter.

“Yeah, yeah. It's nice to see you too.” Percy laughed as he tried to pull away. Once he went to the kitchen to grab a bone-shaped treat. “Who’s a good girl?” He cooed, tossing the snack in the air. Mrs.O’leary jumped up to snatch it before barking and padding away. Her tail still wagged with elation.

When Percy first moved here, it was quite nerve-racking. He'd heard that this place was an especially good spot for people like him- meaning people who did some illegal activity. Well, that was what he assumed. Percy was 99% sure that his neighbor just in the penthouse below him, (Leo was it?) had to be involved in some sketchy stuff. That creepy smile of his with a mysterious staining his shirt never meant any good. Or maybe when his other neighbor, had a odd looking duffel bag slung across his shoulder. Oddly human shaped, maybe. With a horrible smell of something rotting. Percy recalled introducing himself a Nico DiAngelo. A pretty reserved and quiet guy, usually having a frown of his face. Well, other than that time when he had his boyfriend over, a sunshiney guy with sun-kissed hair. He never got the chance to catch his name.

Wrapping a white cloth around his wound, Percy's met with a sense of familiarity. Fixing his own injuries by himself. It would bee nice to have some help once in a while, but that would mean exposing him. He's definitely not ready to risk that.

Other than his boss and a couple of really close friends, no one knows about this. Percy nearly slipped up once- when a old companion from high school came over to visit, and his small arsenal of weapons were revealed. The little compartment hidden behind a painting. Not another word wasmsaid about it. Percy made up some half-assed excuse about auditioning for a movie so they were fakes.

It didn't take much of a expert, but the were far from fakes.

His phone rang from beside Percy, making him jolt in surprise. The contact name made him smile just the tiniest bit.

"Hey, mom," Percy began. "Why'd you call?"

"Can't your mom check up on you once in a while? How are you?" Sally beamed, cheerful voice on speaker mode.

He walked over to the bathroom where he stood in the full length mirror. A hint of blood seeped through the white bandage; now full wrapped. "Good. How's Paul and Estelle doing?" He asked.

"They're doing great! Me and your step dad went out with Estelle yesterday to see the movies." Sally smiled. "Estelle is growing into such a energetic ball of energy." She joked. "Just like you."

"Is that so?" Percy laughed, splashing his face with water. It felt cool on his skin, causing tiny pricks of coldness to pop up all over.

For a while, him and Sally conversed. She told him about her day (mostly gushing about Paul and Estelle) while Percy smiled and listened. He did his best to hide the fact that he'd been fixing up his wounds in silence. He cursed silently in pain when he touched an sensitive spot on the slash.

"Percy? Are you alright?" Sally asked in concern.

"Yeah! I just... hit my elbow. Its nothing. " He hastily replied.

"Okay," Sally exclaimed in relief. "By the way, when are you going to visit your old woman? Estelle misses you, you know."

"Yeah, well tell her I miss her too." A sense of gloom over took the conversation. "Look, I'm busy now but..." Percy looked over to the mirror again. "I'll call you later. Maybe I can visit you guys over there soon." He exhaled.

"We're looking forward to it! Isn't that right,             Estelle?" Sally gave the phone to the little girl who was jumping with excitement.

"Come over soon Perce!" She garbled. It sounded like she was eating something halfway.

"I will. Talk to you later, 'Kay?"

"'Kay!"

A wave of guilt overwashed Percy as soon as he ended the call. It was killing him inside, to not be honest with them about his real job. They just thought he was a simple marine biologist who got one hell of a promotion. Yeah, he wished. That seemed easier than killing for a living. He was going to tell them sooner or later. He just had to. Not today- not anytime soon, that is.

Jolting himself out of his thoughts, Percy's phone rang. He was quick to answer it. Was it Sally calling again? Percy put down the metal spoon he was holding, letting it rest in the pot of soup bubbling on the flat stove. 

“Hey, Percy!” The horribly familiar voice rang from the other side of the line. Percy grimaced.

“What is it?” He groaned.

“Is that any way to talk to your boss?” He tsked. “But I have news for you!”

“Do tell,” Percy muttered and went back to his soup. 

“I have a mission.” Apollo grinned widely. “You up for it?”

“Again? Didn't I just do one yesterday?” Percy rolled his eyes. He was tired; completely tired. Usually the missions weren't this close together- sometimes they could be even months apart.

“Yeah, but this one won't happen for a week or so. And it ain't just the typical mission.”

“Yeah? And what's that?”

“Its a info operation. Meaning-”

“I know what that means!” Percy interjected. “Just tell me the details already. I’m hungry.”

“Jeez, okay mr. grump. Annabeth Chase. You know her?” Apollo said, scoffing at Percy's tone.

“You mean the owner of that one architecture company? What about her?” He asked.

“She’s connected with Thalia Grace and Luke Castellan.” Appolo explained. “Apparently people have been talking about their new heist that they're planning. By what I've heard, it's going to be huge.” 

Those three names- Thalia Grace, Luke Castellan, Annabeth Chase. Annabeth especially, was the most well known in the regular world. Her being the stoic founder of Athchase as well as being a crazy rich and famous person, that's a no brainer. Luke and Thalia, on the other hand, their heists were well known anywhere. Annabeth didn't have a criminal record of any sorts. That's a big reason she can keep up her reputation. It's not like the woman did anything wrong, its just that... the fact that she is connected with the two is enough to ensure suspicion. Growing rumors of her planning some of their crimes were spreading fast. Percy's heard of things like that, her being the mastermind of killing and stealing.

“Alright," He nodded. "Im interested. Go on."

“New York. That's where the three plan to meet up. Get information, maybe use your charms into getting her to trust you."

"N-new york..!?" Percy was left shocked at that.

"I've booked a flight there. 5 in the morning sharp tomorrow. I reccomend you arrive on time." Apollo chuckled.

"Yeah, whatever."

"And Percy?" He called out.

"Hm?"

"You have my full permission to kill Annabeth when you're done." Apollo darkly said, hanging up without another word. Percy rolled his eyes for the tenth time on the call.

Well, all right.

Next destination: New York.

"So, New York, huh." Annabeth swirled some of her cocktail in the glass, circling her wrist in a rotation. The blue liquid swirled together in a repetitive motion. Sapphire Martini tasted rather bitter on her tounge, but decent nonetheless. She enjoyed the slight orange twist.

"Why here of all places?" She asked.

"Its a golden opportunity, dear Annie. The Olympians only gather once in a blue moon, so we're going to make the most out of this!" Thalia sipped from her own glass, some regular red wine. She'd never had such a taste for 'Those fancy rich drinks'. Whatever that meant.

The Olympians, as Thalia said before, were a group of 12 of some of the wealthiest and prestigious people from across the world. Only a few select people could be a part- it was exclusive as to anybody who was just normal as a couple million rich. New York would be holding a auction quite soon on a famous opera house; and surprise, they would be there.

"Don't call me that." Annabeth winced at the name. "And who exactly is we?"

"Don't go all acting like you didn't agree, alright? Plus, you can gain a thing or two from all this." She grinned.

"I have a company to run, Thals, You know very well that I dropped that type of business years ago." Annabeth shook her head. "This is seriously risky."

"But you love that. Don't you?" Thalia pressed, standing up.

She truly did. The thrill, the rush of energy you couldn't get anywhere else. Thats what had driven her to join Thalia and Luke in the first place. That feeling alone made her eyes sparkle with desire.

"Yeah." Annabeth places her drinkdown back on the glass table. "I do."

Okay I'm back with some more hot garbage!!! here's my latest thing-- a assassin au. I need to do a ship other than percabeth tho 😔😔

[sirensunrise]

Lay it on us 🙌

Sorry in advance my brain is absolute mush so i might repeat shit and be all over the place. Also this gets me heated. 

I have specific opinions on certain groups and also can 100% rate/rank stage presence for a specific group if anyone wants me to, bc I have things to say about specific groups/people as well but in general? Stage presence is typically a hit or miss.

This whole thing started with aespa tbh, and like no hate to the girls themselves but when i first saw them there was something about them that just turned me off of them. i had no idea what it was until the zoo video and holy shit. it's almost criminal to put winter next to taeyong. There is NOTHING on her face, it's completely blank. and again i really mean no hate (you'll see why just hold on) but every aespa stage i've seen since has been the same.

It happens all the time! There are so many idols who either consistently serve blank faces or, show up to work for however long they're in the center and then drop it the moment they aren't the one singing.

The reason this really bothers me is bc how the Fuck are you supposed to sell a song. you're PERFORMING?!?! singing and dancing both have a major acting component, rule number fucking one is DONT BREAK CHARACTER. now, i don't mind a few like shared smiles or smthn small and goofy during a stage, but you know wtf i mean right? It feels almost unprofessional, you step onstage, you're in character until the Moment you step offstage. that's how this fucking works, it's such a simple concept. and. AND! on top of that, it actively fucks with your dancing/singing. did you know that humans can hear smiles in voices? it sounds different when you add emotion into it. same goes with dancing, i mean look at the faces of professional dancers. They get INTO it, they embody a character, and it really affects a performance. It doesn’t matter what emotion you’re conveying, turn your fucking face on during a stage. 

Now. That was very harsh. yes. but, again. this is not hating on them, because i don’t think it’s entirely/always their fault. I didn’t really think abt this until i was discussing glitch mode w becca, and i noted that renjun had an entirely stone face. no expression no movement. and she pointed out that he had probably been trained not to smile bc he originally had fucked up teeth so staff/the company, told him to keep that shit in check. It’s not always laziness or lack of talent. I have a few theories as to why a company or idol might want to minimize their expressions. 

1) They’re there to look pretty. 

sometimes facial expressions are ugly. a lot of the time idols are almost treated like dolls, their neutral face being seen as when they’re the most attractive. marring their features with any sort of over the top emotion isn’t as pretty. they also probably think that it’s not as big of a deal if they’re acting less when they aren’t the center but.. fancams literally exist. always assume someone is watching you, even if you aren’t the focus. I hate it but I understand it. (sadly this also is probably the reason that it’s a bigger problem within girl groups, companies wanting them to look as pretty as possible all of the time at the expense of performance quality)

2) They’re afraid of overdoing it.

there’s this thing i fucking hate, just in general, outside of kpop too, where ppl act as though being earnest and trying is cringy. i hate this idea of being nonchalant and cool, it’s one of the reasons i like ateez, a lot of the time they really put their all into it. some of the shit they do is called cringy but i love that they put their fucking all into whatever they’re doing. they fucking commit. and i think people would rather pretend not to care or give nothing out of a fear of being made fun of. (the thing is, if you’re confident with it, a lot of the time it doesn’t come off as overdoing it.) granted. you Can overdo it sometimes, especially when it comes to small screen things, emotions are more subtle when you’re on camera but theyre PERFORMING they are ON A STAGE that’s when your emotions are supposed to be a bit bigger. fucking sell it!!!! it puts a bad taste in my mouth when someone makes fun of or cringes at idols especially when they’re fucking doing their goddamn job. 

as some of you may know, i have experience with performing, and was a part of a vocal studio for the better part of a decade. I have been on stage with a choir, with two other people, with three other people with goddamn ten other people, and a lot of experience performing on my own. sometimes my technique sucks, sometimes i fuck up a note but i know i have good stage presence. and when i look back at performances, the ones that i am the most proud of the ones that i got the most compliments for, are the ones with the best stage presence. there was this one thing that my vocal coach said that really stuck with me. She said that the whole reason we learn and practice music so much is so we can have it become muscle memory, so when you’re up onstage, you aren’t focusing on technique, you’re focusing on performing. when you get up on stage there’s a reason you aren’t fucking sight read or have your sheet music in front of you. 

ok. thats my beef. and ik this sounds harsh but it’s something that i feel very strongly about. especially because of my history and also bc, like i said before, i am confident in my stage presence, i’ve won awards within my studio for it. and its disappointing to watch someone who has all this training and all this support, phone it in on stage. i am a goddamn nobody and i’m better at it? its borderline disrespectful to the fans. and as an audience member/viewer, i would feel shafted tbh, it feels like they don’t care enough to try, and whether thats true or not, its certainly how it comes off. 

phew sorry and AGAIN i rlly am not trying to imply that all idols who lack stage presence, there could be a multitude of reasons as to why and i don’t know them. i mostly get disappointed at specific idols/companies rather than angry. i get angry in general but i really don’t mean any harm or hate towards specific people.  

if you want i can totally do some specific comparisons of stage presence, even within concepts, but for now i’ll leave you with these ones

This vs This 

and 

This vs This

#IM SO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG #i have things to say clearly #also like #it's ok to have middling stage performance sometimes #or to not be As good #its when theres nothing its just #yeah

Leo 2021 Year Ahead Birthday Spread

Starting from the top clockwise, theme in the middle.

July 2021- Knight of Wands

July will be a time where you want to expand your horizons, Leo. You’ll have a lot of energy this month and be driven to put it to good use. You may want to use this adventurous energy to go on a vacation (perhaps for your b-day if you're a July born Leo). You’ll have a lot of passion and ambition, but on the flip side you will be spontaneous. This can land you in hot water as it can lead to reckless and unpredictable decisions and actions. Someone may quickly enter or leave your life. It’s also possible this card could represent someone else in your life. This person is a go-getter and is manifesting what they want into reality. Keep in mind, you can rely on this Knight to help you get a project off the ground, but don’t expect him to stick around to see it through. It can also mean you or someone close to you may be moving. If this is what you want that’s great, if not beware your finances.

2. August 2021- King of Cups

You or someone close to you will be feeling empathetic this month. Whoever fits this role will use this skill to navigate a situation that will present itself this August. This is someone who has a lot of social intelligence. He’s able to read the room and pick up on the emotions of everyone around him. When this King first meets someone, the other person will feel they have known him their whole life. This can mark a time where you will gain emotional maturity. Perhaps you used to only think of yourself, but now you’re growing in this area. You may have been dealing with childish people in the past and a King of Cups character may come along to counteract this. On a positive front, this card means devotion. The people in your life are loyal to you (especially the men). If you don’t have a man in your life that fits this bill now, it may change this August. Lastly, this card can also appear when someone is willing to be controlled. This King watches others taking everything in, then uses that information later for manipulative purposes.

3. September 2021- Three of Pentacles

September will be a time of apprenticeship, fine tuning your skill and learning. You will develop yourself this month. You're putting the skills and talents you were born with to good use. Because you have a natural talent, your skills won’t go unnoticed by those who matter. The hard work you put in this month will pay off in the end. This marks the start of your journey, not the end. You may need to push yourself a little harder to see results. The prospects are good. That’s only the case if you apply yourself though. Don’t assume because you're talented at something you know everything about it. This way of thinking is arrogance, Cancer. There are people out there who are better than you. You may be the subject of envy for people who aren’t as naturally talented as you. They may try to call you out. The Three of Pentacles is telling you to rise above their pettiness. You may be dealing with a Capricorn this month.

4. October 2021- Ten of Cups

All your hard work in September will pay off this month. Happy endings are predicted for you this October. You will be perfectly content this month. Engagements, marriage and child birth all go hand in hand with this card. If that’s something you're looking for, you're in luck, Leo. If you're single, this card can mean that deep down you want a traditional family life. However in a more negative sense it can mean obtaining the family life you crave and it not making you happy. Perhaps you like the thought of having your desires more than you would actually having them. You may find out the grass isn’t greener on the other side here. Lastly, this card can also mean you're not only waiting for the perfect person to come along and sweep you off your feet. The problem is you're too picky or you don’t bring too much to the table to attract a person like this. Step up your game or lower your standards. You may be dealing with a Pisces here.

5. November 2021- Seven of Swords

You may be dealing with an Aquarius here. When this card appears it means someone in your life (perhaps you) has been up to no good. Someone is spending their time planning drama and conflict. You may have surrounded yourself with people who are not loyal to you. They pretend to be your friends but they will sell you out the first chance they get. They want what you have and they're willing to hurt your feelings to get it. You may get the blame for something you didn’t do. You’ll be the scapegoat so others insecurities won’t come to light. However this can also mean a deception all your own. You may be attempting to get away with something you know you shouldn’t be doing. It can be more simple than that though, like you're trying to convince yourself of something. You know you're unhappy but you keep telling yourself that everything is fine. This month this denial may start to affect you emotionally. I feel there will be a betrayal for you this month. A situation may end through no fault of your own, but because of other people’s involvement. It’s very likely if you're the one deceiving others, you will get away with it. You may be dealing with an Aquarius this month.

6. December 2021- Three of Wands

This month you will have a great opportunity to work as a team. Business, creativity and work are the main themes of this card, and I feel the same will be true for your December. Trade and commerce. This trade won’t be local but on an international scale. You may be shipping your products overseas. You may find yourself traveling for business this month. Looking toward unfamiliar territories will benefit you this month. Do not go with the same old same old you used to. Look towards places and cultures you’ve never experienced. You need to cooperate with the people around you. You may have to work on relationships that you find to be a pain in the ass. This is the only way you can accomplish your goals. It’s likely you have to work with people you don’t like. You may be dealing with an Aries.

7. January 2022- Justice

This is a law card. You may be dealing with the law and legality this month. You may find yourself at the center of a court case, it can be as simple as your serving on jury duty. Although this card doesn’t necessarily mean anything illegal will take place, I wouldn’t want to see this card if I had done something wrong (Hopefully it doesn’t have to do with the Seven of Swords above you got in November). Criminal implications aside, you may be signing contracts or documents on a new home, job or business you're renting. Just be sure to read the fine print! You may do something that is not completely ethical or honest this month. If not this month, you will eventually be called out and have to face the consequences of your actions. In the simplest interpretation, this card can be a reminder that life isn’t fair. The truth will come out in the end, but that doesn’t mean it will happen anytime soon. The universe will eventually right these wrongs, but you're going to have to wait it out. You may be dealing with a Leo at this time.

8. February 2022- Queen of Pentacles

In February you will be living in high class. This Queen is the type of woman who has the finer things in life. Designer clothes, luxurious holidays and the best furnishing are in her home. Despite the obvious materialism, she is also generous. This can be a calling for you to be more giving towards others and yourself. Treat yourself, Leo! If this does not resonate with you, this card can serve as a warning that you need to ground yourself in reality. Do you see things as they truly are or how you want to see them? This Queen is going to give you a reality check. The good news, not only will you have good intentions, but others will have the same for you. Allow yourself to dream over-the-top dreams this month. Pamper yourself, but don’t become too obsessed with earthly desires.

9. March 2022- King of Pentacles

This month you may be dealing with an established man, or you want to take on the traits of someone of this persona. This month you (or someone close to you) will be all about business and making money. This month your financial situation will improve for the better. This won’t be a one large sum, but something more permanent. This card holds the meaning of riches. You will have a more traditional approach to life. You may follow in your family’s footsteps. This King follows the same religion, occupation and outlook that their culture expects of them. At this time you should appreciate the power of tradition. This may also be a sign that a new romance will be a stable and lasting figure in your life. However this card can also mean your being too materialistic and money focused. It can also mean you're unwilling to let go of the way things were done in the past, to a fault. While tradition is a good thing, it isn’t always appropriate.

10. April 2022- The Hermit

This is a Virgo card so you may be dealing with someone of this sign. After a month of living the high life, this Spring you will need to find some time for self reflection and solitude. You will need to spend time alone this month. On a positive note, this may help you get work done that you're normally too distracted to get to. This card is also associated with old age and experience. The solution to a problem you face may be found by confiding in someone older and more experienced than yourself. At this time you will have to walk alone and blaze your own trail. Don’t be afraid to do things differently than you have before. Be cautious around others. Keep your thoughts, motives and plans to yourself.

11. May 2022- Knight of Cups

In May, romance, faithfulness and prince charming may be coming to you. If you're looking for love, you’ll be in luck this month. Be prepared to be swept off your feet. This person will care about you and your feelings. A sensitive friend or acquaintance may introduce you to this amourous person. This knight brings you flowers and takes you on dates. This person will only have eyes for you. If you're in a committed relationship and your partner has been a little distant lately they will start to turn it around at this time. I can also see this as you coming out of your hermit shell from last month and spending more time letting your partner know how much you care. If you're the loyal Knight in this situation, just be cautious not to overlook things for the sake of a content life. Don’t spend this time wearing rose colored glasses.

12. June 2022- Two of Swords

This month you may reach a stalemate. You will have to balance drama and conflict in your life. It’s likely you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around a group of people or one person in particular. Be warned, the person you are having problems with is on the same level as you. In one way or another, you have the same strengths and weaknesses. This person will be difficult to beat. You and this competitor have different things to lose or gain. You must wait and accept the status quo. Do not rock the boat during this month. You will need to conform to your surroundings. A fall out may be coming in the future, but for now you need to bide your time. You don’t have enough information to act. At a later date, more will be revealed to you. Rally your troops, take a rest and strategize. Pay attention to who is loyal to you and who isn’t. You may have to go up against someone you do not anticipate. You may be dealing with a Libra here.

13. Theme of the Year- The Star

This year you will see signs of improvements from the previous one. If you’ve been considering giving up dreams of a certain career path or love life-don’t. You will get results as this year plays out. You just need to wait it out and let the next 12 months take their course. You will get what you want but not what you expect. Nonetheless, it will be what’s best for you. Destiny is at play this year, all will work out for you, Leo. There is hope you will achieve your deepest desires. With hard work, all you have to do is be patient and wait. This year you will be healing from the last. This could be emotionally, physically or both. You may be dealing with an Aquarius this year. This year I may be meeting with old friends and family members. In May it’s possible you will begin a romance with an ex or an old friend. You may receive help from someone close to you, especially in August. To get further ahead in your career in September you may need to seek help from a group of people. You will benefit from training or taking an online course. I feel there’s soulmate energy coming to you. This could be a lover or a good friend. Important months for your year will be January and April 2022.

[fapangel]

You've been screeching bitch tears about antifa as though you're part of an opressed people, yet you never once showed anywjere near the same condemnation when a white supremacists shot up a black church.

This showed up in my inbox alongside this: 

Note the focus on non-whites getting shot. I haven’t condemned any recent mass-shootings by other spree-killers either, but all he cares about is the one where white people shot black people. Hmm. 

The same applies to police shootings. Gun owners - like me - are keenly aware of how often cops kill law-abiding gun owners of any color for no reason - such as Daniel Shaver, who was gunned down in a hallway as he was belly-crawling towards police on their orders. Why? Because someone saw him, through his hotel window, holding one of the air rifles he used in his pest-control job and called the cops. And the cops - upon being told that a private citizen was seen holding a longarm in the privacy of his own hotel room, decided to come down on the place with a fucking SWAT team like he’d been seen strapping on a baby-lined suicide vest or something. The cops shouldn’t have been there at all, much LESS fucking magdumped on him as he was crawling towards them face-down, on their orders. 

Or how about the recent killing of a white woman from Australia, who was shot dead by the very police officers she herself called for help? Better yet, the fuckup who shot her fired because he heard a “loud noise” - and he shot across the squad car, past his own goddamn partner in the driver’s seat. 

But who gives a fuck? They’re all just “a white male”, right? But when people of color are murdered for no fucking reason by incompetent cops, then it’s a big fucking deal. Then it’s problematic, and systemic racism. As someone who has a concealed carry permit, I’m intimately familiar with how many cops persecute permit holders - the guy dating my sister for a while was pulled over by the cops in a nearby town, and they split them up and started questioning my sister and a friend that was with them about why her boyfriend had a gun. He has his permit on him, and they knew it was valid, since they can look that up in their car’s computer. But they still treated him like a criminal waiting to happen. 

But of course the left-wing fucks who’ve fought gun rights in general, and concealed-carry in particular, every step of the way, don’t give a flying fuck - until a black man with a concealed license was shot, and then they’re racing to make up lies about how the NRA didn’t denounce it “enough.”  All because the NRA didn’t immediately take to social media to denounce the cop as evil racist murdering scum. Failure to automatically assume the cop was 100% at fault was unacceptable, nay, counter-revolutionary. Never-you-fucking-mind that Colin Noir, a black man, gun supporter, and chief champion of the Black Guns Matter movement, pointed out that “the NRA doesn’t need to make a statement about Philando, because they gave him his own show. I’ve been fighting for gun rights under the NRA brand for years.” Yeah, this young black man has his own damn show on “NRATV;” and as the Guardian story notes, this NRA-sponsored, endorsed and supported commentator, using the NRA’s own platform, was scathingly harsh on the police for the Philando Castile shooting. But who fucking cares about that, right? Failure to reflexively and immediately blame whitey for being the evil one is unacceptable. 

This is symptomatic of the racist narratives that underpin the entire left-wing’s movement - it’s clearly visible in the anarcho-communist Antifa’s obsession with “defending minority communities by any means necessary.” It’s the way collectivists think - not of individuals, but of communities. Ergo, the Black Community, the Asian-American community, etc., is the smallest unit of concern they have. To conceive of people as individual citizens, equal before the law, is alien to their way of thinking. Witness this shithead lambasting me for talking like I’m an “oppressed people-” to him, that’s the only unit of legitimacy there is. Only oppressed people get to bitch - and if they are oppressed than any murder, violence and mayhem is justified in the name of revolution. 

This is why Black Lives Matter supporters are ambushing cops across the country, and why anyone who disagrees with leftists on immigration policies - including Trump and all his supporters - are labeled fascist Nazis who deserve to have their heads smashed. The left is just as racist and race-obsessed as the white supremacists they claim to be saving us from. They’re just another team playing the same horrific game - and naturally, if you dare disagree with them at all, you’re labeled as one of them, as this fuckface here’s trying to do with me. And as we’ve seen with the spate of craven cowardice from various GOP politicians and CEOs, being called a Nazi or white supremacist is a slander with terrible power in our society. It’s how the left bullies dissidents into silence so they don’t point out that violent, radical leftists are the exact same kind of scum. Fortunately, there’s still people with the courage to call them out. 

As for this violence not being “new,” that’s a blatant fucking lie. “Neonazi” groups in the past could be broken down into two rough groups; skinheads, who are violent chav fucksticks in general who get Nazi tattoos because they’re edgy and mean, and Illinois Nazis, goose-stepping attention-whore clowns that’ve been the butt of jokes since the 1980s, as the linked clip demonstrates. You’ll also recall that when Antifa staged mass riots to disrupt Trump’s inauguration and torched a Muslim-American immigrant’s limousine in the process, or when they showed up with shields and weapons to violently assault people at Milo’s University of Washington speech, or when they smashed windows and brutally beat bystanders before Milo’s planned speech at Berkeley, there was no organized resistance to them by anyone at all. The first time someone actually came prepared to fight back, he was so alone in that regard that he became his own meme, the “Alt-Knight.” It wasn’t until the April 15th event that the “alt-right” showed up at all; that event was when about 50 Oath Keepers showed up and a white supremacist with a characteristically retarded haircut socked some skanky antifa pornstar. (This is also the event where Eric Clanton went around smashing skulls with a u-lock for Antifa.) Since the media is useless and real reporting is dead, Mr. Retardo Haircut is the only White Supremacist's presence I can verify, but at the time I saw discussion on /pol/ naming white supremacists that’d flown in from Europe, which should give you some idea of how miniscule their numbers are - Antifa mobilized 1,500 or so rioters - not “protesters,” but actual masked hooligans with weapons smashing shit - to shut down Milo’s speech. Hell, the Ku Klux Klan themselves had a fucking rally in Charlottesville back in July, and they mustered... 50 total dudes. The “white supremacists” have had better turnout during various clashes in Portland, but as the Willamette Week notes, said supremacists are almost always skinheads and biker gangs, demographics more defined by being criminal, anti-social fuckbags in general, with “white supremacy” being an excuse to put cool viking patches on their jackets. Not surprising, considering Portland’s been called “skinhead city” in the past. 

Compare that to Charlottesville. The media breathlessly predicted as many as “a thousand” white supremacists would show up - how many actually did, I haven’t seen any news agency put a fucking number to, aside from “hundreds,” referring to both sides - and considering that they were carpooling and flying in from as far away as Texas, I doubt there was that many - but it was still more than showed up at any prior event. If one presumes that the retards carrying tiki torches the night before were all white supremacists (as opposed to everyone who showed up for the actual event the day after,) counting torches visible in this video and this one with airborne drone shots, there were at least 150 or so - still pathetic turnout for an event scraping people from all over the country, but still three times the actual white supremacists verifiable present at any other event. Furthermore, this time, lots of them brought shields and clubs and helmets, ready to scrap - mirroring antifa’s own tactics. 

This is new - and if you want to know where it comes from? What’s driving this? Look no further than this video that shows the white supremacists, in their own words, crediting the unceasing aggression and violence of the radical left as being the chief thing pushing new recruits into their arms. Fucking hell, Bannon went on-record crowing about how he wants Democrats to talk about racism every day not five days ago. And what’s more, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE FUCKING TOLD YOU ASSHOLES WOULD HAPPEN. I, personally, said it on this very goddamned blog: 

Some people do actually believe this shit and they are mostly Democrats - hell, here’s a Gallup poll with the numbers if you doubt my analysis. And to re-iterate, they’re inflaming extremists on both sides of the spectrum, because the more violence antifa commits, the more the Illinois Nazis will croon “see, we were right all along!”

The “Nazis” were a bunch of fucking retarded CHUDs seig heiling on dodgy message boards and defending the supreme might of das Reich’s wunderweapons on WWII forums - until you miserable fucks catapulted them into the national spotlight, and then legitimized them by using violence against people you claimed were them; making it seem like you couldn’t beat their arguments, so you had to resort to force, like knuckle-dragging thugs. You could never tell the difference, because you’re insane zealots who consider any disagreement with your sacred politics - such as immigration law - to be absolutely unforgivably fascist. You motherfuckers started this, because you refused, refused to accept the outcome of a democratic election. You vile bastards are pushing this country further and further towards civil unrest and even civil war, and you’ve got the fucking gall to tell me I’m pretending to be concerned about them becoming violent, when I was warning about this back in fucking May? 

I’m not going to stop blogging, writing, or tweeting - because you fucks will never stop trying to destroy the foundations of our nation’s civil order to get your way. I’m not going to stand silent while you bastards do your utmost to plunge our peaceful and prosperous nation into a new era of civil strife, hatred and bloodshed.

So keep crying, you bastard, because I’m not going anywhere.
