Hey, can you tell me a little more about how RE6 was recieved by fans? I know it's generally disliked, but I'm curious as to how original fans actually reacted to the writing. When I played it a few months ago (I got into RE last year), it absolutely threw me. I thought the characterisation and the romances and overall plot were horrendous. I'm even wary of accepting half of it as canon!

First, there's Jake Muller. While I did actually like him, because I thought the whole anti-hero trope was refreshing, his whole superpowered story that was never picked up again was... pretty bad. Chris and his amnesia was tolerable at best. I did actually enjoy his dynamic with Piers (and I shipped the hell out of them I'm ngl, lol) but he felt so ?? off. I can't explain it. I thought how Piers was killed was super cheap and unnecessary too.

Then there's Leon... jesus christ Leon. He was awful in that game. He had such a weird relationship with Helena and an underwhelming reunion with Sherry. Then there's the absolute mess that was his relationship to Ada. It made me physically cringe. "You... have feelings." This man has not seen her in YEARS, with a long history of betrayal. Why in the world is he moping around and getting into physical altercations with Chris Redfield to protect her, ignoring her crimes? I laughed so hard. They made him absolutely absurd and senseless. I can't stand the RE6 version of him, I'm sorry. He was hard to tolerate.

Then... the Ada campaign. Holy Jesus the Ada campaign, with the slime clone!? WHAT WAS THAT!? And apparently she dated the villain or something and he was upset because he was madly in love with her, if I remember correctly? I specifically saved her campaign for last because I was so excited for Ada content, only to be met with the laziest, cardboard cutout 2000's Hollywood tropes. Tripe. But at least I got a good laugh from it.

Am I alone with these opinions? I genuinely thought pretty much everything about it was rubbish, lacking effort and made no sense. They were ALL weirdly out of character and I'd never desire to replay it. Could this be a general consensus? I'd love to hear your experience and what the original reception was like. I know RE6 is generally slated, but that seems for gameplay, rather than the rubbish story!

Most of the criticisms about RE6's story surrounded:

Leon being a "simp" for Ada

Simmons just making absolutely no sense at all and turning into a T-Rex somehow and making the confrontation with him underwhelming and stupid as a result

Sherry's powers being underwhelming and kind of a cop-out for giving her extreme plot armor

Chris's amnesia being completely pointless and stupid, as well as his entire campaign being horribly unfun to play

The Carla Radames storyline being the single dumbest shit in mainline Resident Evil, and that includes the whole Ashford siblings thing involving Alexia being a 7 year old prodigy working alongside Albert goddamn Wesker

There were other criticisms, too, surrounding the enemy and level designs, as well as the game's tendency to just have something blow up when they didn't know how to transition a scene. But. Those ^ were the big things.

The three things that were regularly and almost universally praised about RE6's writing were:

The general atmosphere of Leon and Helena's campaign

Piers Nivans

The pacing and imagery of Ada's campaign

#3 has since been removed from the list, because the whole tone of her campaign got fucked up when they patched in a co-op partner for her.

But, on RE6's release, Ada's campaign was a solo mission, and it was praised as the single best campaign in the game, period. Ada being forced to go through a maze of hallways with images of her own face forming on the walls and a voice yelling "I AM ADA WONG" was genuinely unnerving back when it was just her going it alone. And, back then, her campaign wasn't available from the start, either. You had to beat all three of the other campaigns first to even unlock it.

I, personally, was far less critical of RE6 than most of the wider fandom was -- and that was for a few reasons.

I was able to forgive RE6 for a lot of its stupid bullshit because I loved other parts about it so much more than I hated it, and those beloved parts were:

Giving us better insight on Leon's mental state through the various files found throughout the game

Giving us Leon and Chris's friendship and portraying it as beautifully as they did (I said this before, but I walked away from RE6 thinking "No one on this planet loves Leon Kennedy more than Chris Redfield does")

Giving us Leon as a full-grown adult and a professional (before the whole bullshit with Ada poked its fucking ass into his campaign and ruined the story)

Chris's personality, for the most part. In the flashback sections before his men are killed/he ends up with amnesia, and then later in the game after Leon soothes his giant asshurt about Ada -- those sections are some of the best moments Chris has as a character post-REmake (huge parts of RE5 were not kind to him lmao)

Ada's campaign, for the reasons listed above

Turning Wesker into a pump&dump deadbeat dad (I'm sorry but this is still very funny to me, even today)

Actually returning Sherry to the storyline and keeping her kind-hearted and good-natured instead of dead inside like she very well could have been (also RE6 is the only title in the entire series that actually calls attention to Leon's paternal love for Sherry, even a little bit)

Piers Nivans. Just... in general. Piers is still the best-written, most charismatic single-title character that Resident Evil has ever produced, and yes I'm including Remake Luis and Remake Ashley in that. I love him unconditionally, and I'm so upset that he's dead.

The Rasklapanje monsters being objectively scarier than Regenerators, somehow

... Even though you can put their limbs in the microwave and shit, which is actually hilarious and I love it

The combat system just in general. People shit on RE6's combat only because they don't understand it. If you try to just stand and shoot things like RE4 and RE5, you're gonna run out of ammo and you're gonna have a bad time. RE6 is a hybrid shooter/brawler that encourages a very aggressive playstyle. Once you figure that out, this game becomes HELLA fun.

I think RE6 has the potential to be great in the Remake series, because there is a lot of good stuff there. It's just buried under the much more obvious, glaring, REALLY BAD SHIT that's there, too.

12,13,14,15 thank god its finally over

clay is so bent out of shape that jake said he does a lot around camp. of course he does because clay doesn’t do anything. glad jake and helen’s loved spouses made it to the final two. the boiled tarantula is like a peach jeff? these two are so dedicated. the bugs being boiled doesn’t help jeff. no man on this tribe loves his wife as much as jake does i guarantee it. not even ted with his 150-200% love for his wife. .....you wanna do what’s right now helen? voting out ghandia was okay in your eyes but voting out brian is too much? how annoying.”i feel like i could run through a brick wall” but said positively? what jakey boy? damn okay well see you later jake he’s absolutely going at this tribal. girl brian would absolutely play you for a fool and dupe you. are you dumb? congratulations on more boring gameplay you guys! i am gonna guess how everyone is gonna go: ted next, then either helen or jan, with final two clay and brian.

the ice skating analogy is unbelievably uncool brian. that gave me second hand embarrassment. just because you fucked up and gave him the answer doesn’t mean he has to get on his knees and thank you. what are you god? brian’s entitlement is infuriating. “what needs to be done” and in fine print “let me, brian, win the whole game” this is the exact gameplay i hate in survivor. did you guys not come here to WIN and you still leave brian in the game despite having said multiple times no one can win against him. a helen ted alliance would be nice and interesting but that’s not gonna happen. can ted shut the fuck up. yelling like that is so disrespectful and undignified. fully called ted going next. it’s just too obvious and boring.

im bored. so helen’s next imagine. yeah wow im soooo shocked you’re choosing helen. this is so interesting im really on the edge of my seat. what will happen next???? i hate this season. why are they acting like they’re hands are tied? like what? “i’m gonna kill myself” jan???? clay....when you talk like that it will make the jury hate you and they won’t vote for you? wow.....im simply shocked that brian voted out jan. i never expected this to happen. wow. what good tv. oh my god,,,,,this jury hates them. brian doesn’t know a single thing about his tribe members AND is lying straight to everyone’s faces. this tracks hard. don’t like ted but.....oop. love this roast. bringing up racist comments, insult after insult. no not the whole jury laughing at helen going in on brian. i love how much this jury hates these two and how much they don’t want to vote for either. yay brian won, i hate this fucking season.

all in all i will give this season a 0/10. i hated every second of it and it felt like torture. the gameplay was weak and boring. no one was interesting. the only good things about this season was the two tribes living on one beach before merging but that was absolutely wasted on this cast of people, worst thing i have had the displeasure of watching in a LONG time.

Dry Humor-W.L

“can you write some fluff for Will where the reader (his gf), helps Will with some eboys content, and has very dry humour, so ends up completely roasting the others (and maybe some other friends like sidemen and the Cals), and like the fans find it really funny?“

Pairing: WillNE x Reader

Word Count: 1.9k+

_______________

"Hey, love can you come help me with something?" It was normal for Will to call Y/n in to help him film something, usually it'd be just another Reddit video, sometimes it'd be for his main channel. It had surprised Y/n when she found out she was needed for an Eboys video. "You're not gonna make fun of me, are you?" Y/n glanced at the camera that was flashing a red dot. He was filming. "Not at all, I actually need your help picking out some of the boys' YouTube videos to review in an Eboys video," Will explained, pulling YouTube up on his monitor. "Then why are you filming?" Y/n kept her eyes on the camera. "Oh, in case there're any golden moments that we can put into the video," Will smiled to the camera. Y/n gave him a look, only causing Will to let out a small laugh. "Anyways, let's look at some of Alex's videos." Will had scrolled down through Alex's videos, finally spotting a good video from around 2 years ago. "Alex's old thumbnails make me anxious to look at," the h/c girl had a look on her face Will couldn't really read. "Why's that?" "I don't know, they look like something a teenage tik toker would make when trying to start a YouTube channel," Y/n had begun to bite on her nails. A smile spread across Will's face, he looked into the camera with a small nod. "What?" "Nothing," Will gave a shrug as he looked back to his computer. There were a few moments of silence before Y/n spoke up again. "It's crazy," Y/n had spoken up as Alex's video began to play. "What?" "Alex has gone through more hairstyle changes than I've changed my clothes," Y/n replied, keeping her eyes on the monitor, watching Alex talk as his purple hair was clearly visible. Will let out another laugh. "Oh, this is great," Will smiled, grasping onto his girlfriend's hand. Alex's video had finished up, leaving Will to start scrolling through his next friend's videos. He had chosen James Marriott to react to next. He had soon enough clicked on a video from James's series 'Can't Actually Sing.' Y/n hadn't said much throughout the video, but it only had taken so long before she finally spoke up. "I'm sorry, but if James keeps talking about Wonderwall, I'm going to lose my mind," Y/n let out a sigh, shaking her head. James had just started to talk about the song again on the video he filmed. "Wonderwall is really that annoying to you, isn't it?" Will looked over to his girlfriend. "I use to not care about the song. it's cool that James likes the song, but he talks about it so often. It's gotten so annoying," Y/n gave a shrug. Will only gave a nod as the couple continued to watch through James's video. "Okay, since you judged Alex's thumbnails, what do you think about James's?" Will had asked as soon as James's video had ended. "He literally makes the same face in every thumbnail he puts his face in. The only difference is that he moves it around. Wannabe Sniperwolf, 3/10," Y/n glanced over to the camera for a moment. There wasn't much emotion to her voice, Will couldn't tell if she was being serious or not. "Wannabe Sniperwolf, that's what I'm calling James now," Will grinned. Finally, it was George's turn to be judged by Y/n. Will had chosen a video that didn't involve George playing a gameplay. Halfway through the video, George had gotten up and began to walk around. "Listen, I know I'm short but at least I'm not George," Y/n shook her head. "Isn't George taller than you?" Will looked over to his girlfriend. "Yeah, but George is also a 22-year-old and is 5'7," Y/n smiled. "George and Alex are like the same height," Will chuckled. "Yeah, well I wouldn't want to be Alex either," Y/n gave another shrug. "Okay, what do you think about George's thumbnails?" Will had closed out of the video, going back to George's posted videos. "Some of them remind me of Alex's thumbnails," Y/n cringed. "I just don't like them." "Do you like any of the boys?" Will let out a laugh. "Oh, of course. They're amazing. They're like family, I just don't watch their YouTube videos," Y/n quickly explained herself, glancing from her boyfriend to the camera. "Okay, but what do you think of the sidemen?" Will had cocked his head to the side. "Why Sidemen? That's literally the weirdest name for a group," Y/n did a playful eye roll. "I've never thought to myself, 'you know, if I had to name a group channel name, I'd name it Sidemen.' Like, are they the side hoes or something?" "You're amazing," Will laughed. "What are your thoughts on Inabber?" "I literally love Fraser, but his YouTube videos are just too long. I really don't want to watch a 20-minute video on Onision or Jake Paul," Y/n shook her head. Will let out another laugh. "This is why I love you." "Only because of my humor? Wow, you have low standards," Y/n rolled her eyes once more. "No, I didn't mean it like that," Will shook his head. "I know, babe. I'm messing with you," Y/n let out a laugh. "Are we done yet?" "Yeah, I'll text the boys and ask if they're ready to film," Will smiled, leaning in to give Y/n a kiss.

"Alright lads, I brought Y/n in for a bit," Will had grinned at his camera. He and the boys had just started filming a new video for the Eboys channel. "I had her react to a few of you lads." "Oh god..." James sighed. "I already know I'm gonna get it worst," Alex shook his head. "I think I'm gonna have to agree with that," Will grinned, followed by him letting out another laugh. "Anyways, let's start the video, don't we?" Will had shared his screen with his friends, hitting the play button. 'I don't know, they look like something a teenage tik toker would make when trying to start a YouTube channel,' Y/n finally spoke up on the video. Alex threw his hands up, "They're old videos!" Laughter could be heard coming from the boys. The video continued on, having Y/n to continue talking about Alex. 'Alex has gone through more hairstyle changes than I've changed my clothes.' "Now this is a low blow!" Alex shouted. "I think she's right," Will wiped a tear from his face. He had been laughing so hard tears had been brought to his eyes. "Of course you think she's right, Will. She's your girlfriend," Alex shook his head. "Is my turn done yet? Is she done roasting me?" "Yeah, yeah. I think so," Will nodded, unpausing the video on his monitor. 'I'm sorry, but if James keeps talking about Wonderwall, I'm going to lose my mind.' "Wonderwall's a good song!" James spoke in a defensive tone. "It's an easy song to play on the guitar!" 'I use to not care about the song. it's cool that James likes the song, but he talks about it so often. It's gotten so annoying.' "Oh, I'm sorry! I'll shut up about it when you come around, Y/n," James shook his head. "She's right, mate," George laughed. "You constantly talk about that song." "She's gonna roast you next, yet you're defending her?" James raised a brow. "Alright, I see how things are, George." "Oh wow, James got defensive quickly," Will grinned. 'He literally makes the same face in every thumbnail he puts his face in. The only difference is that he moves it around. Wannabe Sniperwolf, 3/10.' "Oh, c'mon! 3/10? At least I don't put the stupid red square behind me," James let out a laugh. "He gets defensive over a song, but his thumbnails he can laugh about," Alex laughed, throwing his head back. "Let's keep going, I think it'll be my turn next," George ushered Will to unpause the video once again. Will, obliged, and it hadn't taken long for George to pop up next. 'Listen, I know I'm short but at least I'm not George.' "Low blow, Y/n!" George practically shouted, shaking his head. The boys exploded into laughter like dynamite. 'George and Alex are like the same height,' Will had spoken over the video. 'Yeah, well I wouldn't want to be Alex either.' "Hey! It's not my turn anymore!" Alex threw his hands into the air for another time. 'Okay, what do you think about George's thumbnails?' Will continued to speak in the video. 'Some of them remind me of Alex's thumbnails,' Y/n cringed on the screen. 'I just don't like them.' "What do you like, Y/n?!" George snapped at his camera. "It doesn't seem to be any of us!" "Hold on, lads," Will grinned, standing up from his desk. "Where's Will going now?" Alex sighed. Will disappeared out of the room for a moment, only to come back in with his dear girlfriend, Y/n. "Hi boys!" Y/n laughed, coming closer to the video call. "Y/n, how could you say those things about us!" George shouted. "I'm sorry, I was trying to be funny for Will's video," Y/n sighed. "I love you guys, I really do!" "She just has dry as fuck humor," Alex sighed, rubbing his face. Y/n let out a laugh, "I'm sorry, guys. Yeah, I'm pretty dry I guess." "I genuinely think this was one of my favorite Eboys moments to film," Will kept a stupid grin on his face. "Of course it is for you, Will. Your girlfriend didn't roast your videos," James smiled. "I live with her, she roasts me on every little thing I do," Will chuckled, pulling Y/n into his lap. "I can confirm this is true," Y/n smiled with a nod. "You two are something else," Alex shook his head. "We know," Y/n continued to nod. "Anyways, Y/n you mind leaving us be so we can continue the video, love?" Will gave a peck to Y/n's cheek. Y/n gave a nod as she waved to the boys, beginning her exit. The boys had yelled obnoxious goodbyes behind her, only receiving another wave. Dry humor or not, Will adored his girlfriend.

The Eboys's new video had finally been posted, Will sat in his living room, scrolling through the comments of the video, looking for feedback. 'Y/n is iconic.' 'We want more Y/n! Her humor is awesome!' 'Y/n cult>Louis cult' "Hey love," Will called out, continuing to scroll through comments. "What's up?" Y/n replied, walking over to the couch Will sat on. "The fans love you," Will smiled. "Well, of course they do. I don't know how someone couldn't. They really love your humor though." "That's great," Y/n smiled, sitting down next to her boyfriend. Y/n read the comments as Will scrolled. "I can't believe how many people think I'm funny," Y/n giggled. "Oh, they don't think you're funny, they think how the boys are reacting is funny," Will smirked. "Oh, shut up," Y/n slapped a hand against Will's chest. "I'm sorry," Will laughed. "They think you're funny, I promise." "That's good," Y/n smiled, leaning her head against Will's shoulder. "You're truly funny, Y/n," Will looked down at his girlfriend. "I love your humor." "I know," Y/n looked up at her boyfriend. "I love your humor too."' "We're just two funny peas in a pod, aren't we?" "We really are," Y/n nodded. "Love you, Will." "Love you, Y/n."

BMC Summer Gift Exchange

@bmc-summer-gift-exchange This is for @wheatleylaboratoriez I hope you enjoy it!

Jeremy laid in Michael’s arms, watching the words appear on Michael’s laptop screen. He refused to let Michael stop cuddling him despite the fact he needed to work on his essay. Michael wasn’t complaining. He leaned back against the pillows and headboard on his bed, his chin resting on Jeremy’s shoulder, listening to his boyfriend talk. “I’m just saying, the new game is much better as a standalone game and not the final in the trilogy. The first reboot game was amazing. It was different, both in the story and the gameplay. Rise of the Tomb Raider kind of followed on? And it was alright. Shadow of the Tomb Raider did not work out at all. Not as part of the series, anyway.”

“Whatever you say, Jere,” Michael smiled, pressing a kiss to Jeremy’s shoulder. A smile grew across Jeremy’s lips. “Have you finished yet?” A hum left Michael’s lips “I suppose I could take a break.” He shut the laptop, moving it off Jeremy’s lap. Jeremy grinned and rolled over in Michael’s arms, leaning up to press a kiss to Michael’s lips. “Good. Because I need your full, undivided attention.” Michael laughed. “And my full, undivided attention you shall get.” Jeremy grinned. He shifted in Michael’s lap to drape his arms over his boyfriend’s shoulders. He pressed a kiss to his lips. “Perfect. Because I think I deserve it after you ignoring me for hours while writing that essay of yours.” Michael laughed again, shaking his head. He tugged Jeremy a little closer. “God, you are such a dork.” “But I’m your dork. And you love me.” Michael smiled, pressing another kiss to Jeremy’s lips. “Yeah, I guess you’re right. I love you.” “And I love you too.” Jeremy returned the smile, happily leaning into the other. This was good.

And then Michael kissed him. Oh, and Jeremy certainly wasn’t complaining. This was very good. He let his eyes fall shut, his lips moving in sync with Michael’s. Michael laid back on the bed, Jeremy gladly doing the same thing, letting Michael pull him close. Michael tangled a hand through Jeremy’s hair, and Jeremy let out a soft hum. God, that always felt good. He loved it when Michael messed with his hair. He let the other boy deepen the kiss, tilting his head a little more. Jeremy felt Michael’s hand sneaking underneath his shirt, rubbing small circles on his side.

Jeremy tensed up at the touch.

“Jerry!” Chloe called out over the music. She grabbed Jeremy’s hand, pulling him through the crowds of people towards the stairs. “Chloe? Where are we going?” “Brooke said she has a surprise for you!”

Jeremy tried to push the thought away. Michael was not Chloe. Michael was not drunk. Michael would not trap him here. Jeremy knew that. Michael wouldn’t hurt him. Especially not like that.

“So, uh- where’s Brooke? You said she had a surprise-” “Oh my god…” Chloe laughed. “You are too freaking adorable.” She pulled Jeremy close with a grin, he could smell the alcohol on her breath. “Brooke’s not coming.”

Michael pulled Jeremy a little closer, taking things a little slower. He broke the kiss for a moment. “Are you okay?” Although, he figured he wasn’t. Jeremy was tense, he looked like he was trying to calm down.

“What? She’s not? Then-” Chloe dragged him over to the bed. “Why don’t we hang for a bit? Just you and me?” She said, sitting down. She pulled Jeremy down with her.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m good.” Jeremy nodded. “Keep going…” Michael hesitantly nodded, pressing a gentle kiss to Jeremy’s lips. The thoughts calmed down. Michael was being slow, gentle, nothing like Chloe. Jeremy returned the kiss. Michael laid them both back, tangling his fingers in Jeremy’s hair once again.

“I-I have to go,” Jeremy said. He tried to move. He couldn’t move. “I can’t move my feet.” ‘You’re welcome.’ The S.Q.U.I.P said. Although Jeremy couldn’t see it, he could hear the smug look in its voice. Chloe pushed him back on the bed, straddling his lap. Panic was beginning to set in. He couldn’t move. “I-I should get back-” “Back to Brooke?” Chloe spat. She took another sip of the milk in her baby bottle. Who goes to a party as a sexy baby? “Everybody always likes Brooke. Why is that? Because she’s nice? I can be nice! I can be so goddamn nice!”

Michael deepened the kiss once more, pressing closer to Jeremy. He trailed his hands down to Jeremy’s hips again, squeezing them gently.

Jeremy tried to get the girl off him. He couldn’t move, the S.Q.U.I.P wouldn’t let him.

Jeremy froze, his whole body going tense.

Chloe grinned down at him. She took a swig of her bottle before pressing it to Jeremy’s lips. “It’s not actually milk.” Jeremy could only watch as his hand took the bottle and he took a swig. The alcohol burned as it went down his throat.

Michael pulled away, frowning. Okay, something was very wrong. He wasn’t going to let Jeremy say he was fine. “Jeremy?”

Chloe tossed the bottle to the side, leaning down to press a kiss to Jeremy’s lips.

Jeremy pushed Michael away, trying to move as far away from the boy as possible. “I didn’t want it! I-I didn’t want it!”

There was banging on the door.

Jeremy wrapped his arms around himself.

Jake was yelling.

He pulled at his hair.

Chloe was yelling back.

He covered his ears, shaking his head.

He couldn’t move.

He couldn’t move. He couldn’t breathe. Michael sat up. “Jeremy- What’s wrong?”

Jake forced his way into the room. Jeremy pushed Chloe off him, ducking past Jake. Brooke stood in the doorway. “I-I’m sorry…”

“I-I’m sorry-” Jeremy was shaking, trying his hardest to calm his breathing down. That was proving to be a problem. Michael’s voice was faint, he could barely hear him over the beating of his heart in his ears, or over the flashbacks to that party. Michael was going to yell at him again. It’s what happened last time and it’s going to happen again. Michael quickly moved over to Jeremy, cupping his cheeks and forcing Jeremy to look at him. “Jeremy, hey- Look at me, okay?” Jeremy looked at Michael with unfocused eyes. He placed his hands on top of Michael’s. “I’m sorry- Chloe, she- Brooke- Is Brooke okay? Jake- I'm sorry! We- We didn’t do anything!” Michael nodded. “Brooke’s okay, Chloe and Jake aren’t here, remember? It’s just you and me. Michael, remember?” “M-Michael? Wh-what are you doing here? Please- D-don't yell at me...” “I’m not going to yell at you, I promise. I just need you to focus on my voice, okay?” Jeremy gave a shaky nod. “O-Okay...” “Good. Now, just look at me. Focus completely on me. Breathe in...” Jeremy nodded again. Focus on Michael, he could do that. He followed Michael’s instructions until his breathing calmed down enough. Michael smiled softly. “You’re doing well, Jere. You’re okay. I promise. Can you name five things you can see for me?” Jeremy swallowed thickly, his eyes darting around the room. “Uh- y-your desk. The window.” What else? What else could he focus on? “Your- your Marley posters. O-our pictures. And you.” “Good job, Jeremy. Now, what about four things you can touch?” “Y-you. Uh... The bed...” He ran his hands over the covers before his hand trailed to Michael’s headphones. “Your headphones.” What else? What else could he touch, what else could he touch, what else- “My shirt.” “You’re doing so well, sugar. You’re okay, you’re safe. I need three things you can hear.” Jeremy’s mind was still swirling, but he was trying his best to focus on Michael. “Your voice. The- the clock ticking, a-and the wind outside.” “Well done. Two things you can smell. Can you do that?” “Y-your cologne. A-And weed.” Michael smiled. “One more to go. One thing you can taste?” Jeremy took a shaky breath, leaning into Michael a little more. What could he taste? What could he- “My spit?” Michael wrapped his arms around Jeremy, pulling him close. “Very good. You’re okay, you’re safe, and it’s just us. We’re not at Jake’s, okay?” Jeremy nodded, loosely wrapping his arms around Michael. “Thank you...” He said softly. Michael gently rubbed Jeremy’s back. “Hey, anything for you, doll.” Jeremy’s mind was still reeling, but he was okay. Michael said so. It was him and Michael and he was okay.

“I’m sorry...” Jeremy said. Michael shook his head, just holding Jeremy close. “It’s okay, we have no need to rush, okay? You can always tell me when you want to stop.” Jeremy shook his head. “I should be over this by now.” “Jeremy, this isn’t an easy thing to move past...” “But I should be past it! At this rate, we’ll never do it and I can’t make you happy!” Michael frowned, running a hand through Jeremy’s hair. “Hey... We don’t have to go that far if you don’t want to. I mean it, it’s perfectly okay if we never go that far. We never have to do it.” “But- what about what you want?” “My want for you to be happy is much more important than my want for sex. If staying with you means that I have to give up sex? Then I will do it because I love you. So much.” Michael pressed a gentle kiss to Jeremy’s forehead. “We will go as fast or as slow as you want, as far as you want, or we can keep it to just cuddling and the occasional kiss. It’s all up to you, okay? And whatever you are comfortable with. Not anyone else. Jeremy smiled softly and nodded, pressing a kiss to Michael’s cheek before resting his head on his shoulder. “Thank you. I love you.” “I love you too.” Michael smiled softly.

was thinking about this post again and then thought about, alternatively, achievement hunter au boyf riends and why that hasn’t happened yet

aka, michael and jeremy, along with rich and jake, occasionally christine and jenna, and on rare occasions brooke and chloe, make youtube videos of them playing video games and screaming at each other - they’re not exact mirrors of the ah crew obviously this is really just like a “they start a gameplay channel” au but they do the other dumb shit achievement hunter do, including but not limited to:

throwing knives at the cork board (michael is gavin and rich is master knife thrower ryan)

flinchless kickie-doo (jake is matt behind the camera, getting hit every damn time)

rich axe kicks jeremy’s desk in half. michael is yelling. jake is crying laughing. christine is already concerned about replacing it, jenna is filming and chloe is shouting “WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN”

they ABSOLUTELY duct tape rich to the wall and move some shit in front of him to hide him. brooke screams when she realizes he’s there. michael notices after about twenty minutes of sitting in the room, goes “nice” and resumes scrolling through his phone

jeremy and michael are the bmc equivalents of play pals. they definitely play genital jousting at some point

all of this is the boys featuring christine buying the food. jake tries to diagram the monster mac and rich fucking devours it. michael is the one who wrote “trump is a cunt (do not erase until 2020)” on the whiteboard

Hiveswap Episode 1 Reaction Part 4: Talking to Jude + Exploring the hallway!

Alright, day 4 of playing Hiveswap Episode 1! Time to make some progress today. First off we're gonna put the batteries in the walkie talkie, and see what happens from there! Starting at 6:35 PM.

Batteries && Walkie talkie ==> Ahahaha, yup, this is our first puzzle out of many. And it only took us, like, 6-7 hours of gameplay to get to it! :mspa: Let's see what happens when we try to use the powered walkie talkie now! I think it would be funny if Jude doesn't have his walkie talkie yet or something and it turns out nobody responds when Joey talks through it now, causing us to cut to Jude and his quest to find the walkie talkie on his side. :P Also, I wonder if we can drag any of our other items on the walkie talkie now, to still get some funny/insightful reactions about it (or maybe that will turn out to be a function later, to be capable of asking Jude about stuff?) ...Nope, can't drag other items on it anymore! Alright then, let's put the batteries in! ... Yesssss, Joey/Jude dialogue! Wow, plainWonder's got a good point! It looks like Joey's typing colour is blueish while Jude's is greenish, so they're using the colours of the shirt symbol of the OTHER person! Just like John and Jade!!!!!! Oh man that is awesome. Also... oh dear god Jude. HIS DIALOGUE IS AMAZING. First of all, I'm surprised by his quirk! Looks like he likes talking in upper caps! That's pretty unexpected. I love how his "over" is in lower caps, making it hilariously sound like he's yelling everything through the walkie talkie but then says "over" quietly. xD And yeah, his way of speaking does indeed sound a lot like someone from the army, hahaha. And while sounding so serious and formal in some parts, he also has a way of being incredibly silly ("WAIT unover", "REPORT BITE STATUS"). Hehehe, that reference to not understanding morse code. I love how people not understanding it continues to be a thing in the Homestuck universe. Oooooh, and here we already have a choice on what to answer Jude!!! I didn't expect that to happen so soon. So, we can either give a serious answer ("i'm fine") or a more funny one ("not great"). I wonder if that will impact anything. Let's go with "i'm fine". Oh okay, apparently Joey heard the monster go downstairs! So that means it's probably not that dangerous anymore for her to exit her room (well, unless it comes back of course :p). Also, I just want to say I love the adorable animation of Joey talking into the walkie talkie. And plainWonder's got a good point: they did a really nice and accurate job with having the Joey speechbubbles coming from the lower part of the walkie talkie and the Jude speechbubbles coming from the upper part! Yup, it's safer for Jude to stay in the tree house for now. Oh dear god, he's already starting with the conspiracy theories right there. xD Though... I'm not sure if he's wrong! We have no idea where the monsters are coming from, maybe someone with an agenda (Condesce???) IS sending them to their house. And either this person WANTS Joey to go to Alternia for some reason, or they're there for some other reason. "Antares-class conspiracy"... what? No seriously, what? :mspa: I imagine none of the options here makes a difference whatsoever, hahaha. "GLAD YOU ARE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY" Umm, all Joey said was "what. over." xD Heh, Jude asking Joey if she's less sceptic now that monsters are appearing reminds me of Jane's scepticism! I mean, it was also seeing the Condesce flying overhead that finally made her believe her friends too, despite Roxy trying so hard to convince her. Oh wow, Jude's suggesting Joey to abscond to the attic! That's surprising. I didn't think they'd come up with going to the attic so soon already! Though it actually makes a lot of sense, the attic should be the highest part of the house and should be the safest place to hide from the monsters, so that's some good thinking of Jude. Also, I just want to say that I appreciate that "absconding" is also a thing in Hiveswap and not just in Homestuck. :D Oooh, so it has a strong door and some tactical materiel. Makes sense! Maybe Jude had already prepared the attic as a hiding place for emergency scenarios? I mean, you've got doomsday preppers in real life doing exactly that with their basement, so I wouldn't be surprised if Jude did the same with the attic. plainWonder's got a good point that it might also have a lot of stuff of Grandpa that Joey could use! I mean, he IS the guy that also prepared Jade to ridiculous lengths, so he might have done the same with his other children. :P I love how Jude goes on to explain how to get to the attic. It's pretty ridiculous from Joey's perspective but helpful from ours, haha. I wonder if it's really that easy to get to the attic? Like, do you not need to explore the rest of the house to get to Alternia? In any case, turning left outside the bedroom and exploring the house is exactly what we are going to do. :P N'awww, poor Jude. I like that this shows how much he actually cares about Joey and just wants her to be safe. OH SHIT. Here we can make Joey suggest to Jude to either call the cops, OR call the babysitter! Both are some really clever suggestions. Obviously calling the police would be the smartest suggestion here, but knowing Jude he probably wouldn't trust the cops. Plus, the cops might not believe Jude anyway, they could think it's just some crazy fantasy of a young kid. So, calling the babysitter would probably be the option Jude's most comfortable with, and would also be the COOLEST from our perspective (I mean come on, we all want to see some Mom dialogue and/or action here, don't we?). I mean, I find it highly likely that Mom won't (be able to) come over for one reason or another, but that still doesn't stop me from wanting to try. :mspa: Let's try that suggestion! (Also, does Jude even have a phone up there? If he doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised if the only phone is somewhere in the house and the monsters have already bitten through the telephone cables by now, preventing Joey/Jude from being capable of calling anyone) WELP, Mom's having a long day at work in the lab!!! Confirmation that she's already working for Skaianet?? If so, she's probably already working at the same Skaianet lab that we know from Homestuck! I mean, considering the suggestions that Mom grew up there, it seems highly likely that this is also the lab were she started working first! I should also address that this is probably our first ever official confirmation that Mom works at a lab (probably Skaianet)? I mean, the writing was literally on the wall what with her lab coat dress and her child room in the Skaianet lab, plus Roxy's interest in science, but still! Now it's been spoken! Booyeah! "JOEY: oh no, you're right... JUDE: AGREED ON BOTH COUNTS." Pfff, oh Jude. xD "JUDE: BABYSITTER CAPABLE STRIFER, COULD HELP TIP SCALES" Ooooooh, so Mom was already a capable fighter at such a young age! That's interesting. And it's also interesting that Jude knows about that! Perhaps she practiced some kind of fighting sport and talked about that to Jude and Joey sometime? I mean, I find it highly likely that she practiced some kind of fighting sport, considering her hand-to-hand combat skills in [S] Jack: Ascend! Also, I like how the word Strife(r) has now also been spoken! Hell yes. "JUDE: DO YOU HAVE YOUR WEAPON over" Oh man, what is her weapon? The tap shoes? The ballet shoes? The iconic flashlight (which we haven't seen yet)? Something else entirely? I wonder if Joey even HAS any weapon or fighting skills. "JOEY: what weapon? you mean my OLD weapon? what for?" Errrr, OLD weapon? I wonder what she means by that! "JOEY: you want me to fight them? with my flashlight?" BOOYEAH, confirmation! But uh... in what way does a flashlight serve as a weapon? I mean... it wouldn't even help to blind the monsters, CONSIDERING THEY DON'T HAVE ANY EYES. :mspa: "JUDE: MUST BE BRAVE" "I believe in you" incoming? YUP. YOUR BROTHER BELIEVES IN YOU. Oh hell frickin YES. I love that Jude has taken the same habit as Jake/Grandpa, hahaha. "JUDE: DO YOU RECALL WHERE WEAPON IS over?" Pffffff, we can't even answer anything but "yeah", hahahahaha. Well, WE don't know where it is, goddangit. xD Looks like we'll have to find it for ourselves. "JUDE: yeah, it's in the closet." Oh!!!! Wait... the closet with the Simon Says game? Well, we did only see a small part of it, so maybe the flashlight is a bit more to the left? Or is it in the wardrobe? "JOEY: no, it's in the hall closet." WELP, NONE OF THE ABOVE! Well, at least she was planning on leaving the room anyway. I wonder if the hall closet is close to her room or if we have to walk a bit before we reach it? Alright, the conversation is over! And N'AWWWW, her entire idle animation has changed! She no longer looks so scared and frightened, now she looks pretty relieved, now that she knows Jude's okay! D'awww. I was wondering if perhaps the narration would say something differently now if we tried looking outside the window at the tree hut again, and it did! Yeah, it's better for Jude if he stays up there, where he's safe for now. Ahahaha, I was also wondering if we could use the walkie talkie again to talk some more to Jude, and we could! Joey says she intends to write in her diary! Will we really be "forced" to do that before we leave the room, or if it's still optional? And will he say the same thing if we try to reach him again now... Yup, he did. Let's see what happens if we try to leave the room... Okay, looks like we'll have to write in the diary! But pffffff, amazing reference to Alternia's green moon right there. Ooooooh, after we write in the diary we get a new exclamation mark at the walkie talkie! Hehe, looks like we'll get some new dialogue... Ahahahahaha, that's the most hilarious dialogue so far. I love how they are indeed not actually "hanging up here", unlike what usually happens in Homestuck with the pesterlogs and all where they stop pestering, hehe. Also, apparently Jude can already see Joey! So either he doesn't need binocles or he's already got them. ...Now that I think about it, the fact that he's capable of seeing Joey in her room kind of reminds me of how in Sburb the server players could also see the client players in their room/houses, haha! Oh man, I was curious what would happen if we'd try clicking on the walkie talkie again, but apparently that does nothing now! So we can't receive any silly Jude-Joey dialogues whenever we like, unless it's triggered by something. :P There we are!!!! Now we're FINALLY OUTSIDE JOEY'S ROOM! :D And looks like the music has changed. That's a REALLY cool song there. Pretty catchy and mysterious-sounding! But wow... that's a preposterous amount of stuff in this hallway. 0_0 At least we don't have like 5 possible combinations of items on everything here anymore, we've only got the Cherub Key and the tap shoes, haha. So, that hallway in the background is probably the direction we'd need to go to go to the attic! So, that's exactly what we WON'T do, for now. I find it interesting that there are also some golden serpent (I mean snake) statues over there, in the background. Those skulls hanging on the wall are also really interesting. They remind me a bit of the Mother Grub skull (like the Skull Fountain). Hmm, over there in the background is a crutch! I wonder who that belonged to, it seems a bit too big to be of Joey or Jude. One of Grandpa or Ms. Claire? That hat in the box reminded me a bit of Grandpa's hat, but plainWonder's probably right that it's a Conquistadore hat. Oh dear god no.... that painting right above the couch... IT HAS A FRICKIN COD PIECE. D: MOVIN' ON. Well, now that we're at that couch, looks like there's some toy rifle on it. What with how red it is, it reminds me of Roxy's Betty Crocker rifle! Pfff, I like how they're using that statue as some sort of coat rack. Also, I see a pack of Pringles there, but it doesn't look like the name on it is Pringles. Probably another cheap rip-off. xD I just also noticed those those 6 paper figures on Joey's door! The two on the right pretty clearly seem like Grandpa and Mom to me, but who are those other 4? Joey and Jude are two of them probably? And are the other 2... Ms. Claire and the mother of Jude? :O Oh man I hope we can examine these little figures in more detail. And of course I've been saving the best/weirdest for last... what the fuck is the deal with that Sufferer doll am I right? 0_0 Again, the only logical explanation is that The Condesce is probably responsible for that, seeing as she should be the only person who visited B1 Earth that should have knowledge about him. It's kinda weird that she did this then, considering how she tried to wipe references to him in any textbooks, but I guess she probably just couldn't resist the urge to make fun of him. :P Yesssssss, WE CAN EXAMINE THE DOOR FROM UP CLOSE! ...Oh. Okay, so it was Tesseract instead of Jude's mother, hahaha! Also, Tesseract was actually the figure I thought was Grandpa from afar. xD Oh yeah, what I noticed earlier but hadn't written anything about yet is how Mom also has the cat symbol on her shirt! So it's not just Roxy who wore it on her shirt, she did as well! That's interesting to know. I wonder if Nanna, Grandpa and Bro ever wore a shirt like the ones Jane, Jake and Dirk wear in B2? Niiiiiiiiice, look at all those pictures! First of all, some pictures taken by Joey, Jude and Mom at a photo booth, it seems! Pffff, first Joey and Jude took a normal picture, then Joey kicked Jude out and Mom came in to go on the picture with both of them. That's adorable. It took us a while to figure out what that picture on the left was supposed to be, but plainWonder's right, it's probably the legs and feet of Mom, Joey and Jude! Looks like the 3 of them were relaxing somewhere, n'awww. :) And if we look really closely, Tesseract seems to be lying on his back in the background! D'awwww. Good dog, best friend (pretty funny, considering how Mom is more of a cat person than a dog person, hehe) Hehe, I love how Tesseract seems happy to see that cat. xD I took a closer look at that picture for a second, because I wanted to make sure the cat had only 2 eyes instead of 4. I mean, it's implied that Mutie survived the fall in B1 and gave birth to Jaspers! Which makes me wonder... could this be offspring of Mutie that would eventually give birth to Jaspers, meaning there was a link in between the two? Or perhaps this cat is Jasper's mother, who even knows. :P Now I'm really curious if we're going to see a picture at some point of Mom together with a black cat on it! Alright, enough examining the door, moving on! Let's listen to what Joey and Jude have to say to each other. Pfffffff, Jude just can't shut up can he? I love how he's using some of the same corny words like Jake does, with "hoo boy" and "landing in a pickle", haha. Also, I just realized it's kind of like how Jake can't stop talking about himself, hahaha. Ahahahaha, I was wondering what that golden globe-like structure with the arrow through it was. Looks like it points to where the ceiling is, now that's really useful. :mspa: Another cute animation as Joey spins the globe, d'aww. Looking at the horse picture now. Pffffff, do Joey and Jude deface all paintings to have an argument? xD Tap shoes && Golden globe ==> Pffff, yes Joey, that's obviously what it is. :mspa: I'm pretty curious what the deal is with that chest... I bet we'll probably have to find the key for that somewhere? ...Aaaaah, okay it's her mother's jewelry box! Makes sense. And okay, it really is just Pringles, not a fancy rip-off name. xD But Joey, that can doesn't really look all that empty to me. :P Cherub Key && Jewelry chest ==> Oh wow! Other than some more expected information about how Joey find the key there, apparently doing this also opens up the chest! I definitely didn't expect that. Let's see what's inside! ....Okay, that doesn't work. Nevermind. :mspa: Oh man... now the Sufferer doll. Do I want to know what happens when we examine it? ...OH. OOOOOOOOOOOH. OH YOU BRILLIANT BASTARDS. Jude shot it with a dart just like Darkleer shot The Sufferer with an arrow, goddammit. >.< Cherub Key && Sufferer doll ==> Believe me Joey, I think the Sufferer wants to get out of those chains more than you think. xD Ahahaha, so Joey and Jude had a dart gun war there. So that's why there are all these darts in this corner! And why the Sufferer got struck by one. Tap shoes && Statue ==> Pfffff, what crueler way to kill a ballerina than tap-dancing her to death? This is perfect. Gulp... time to examine the painting of the woman with the Cod Piece. ...Ahahaha, so she was naked and Joey "made it better"... by drawing a cod piece on it. xD And now the rifle on the couch. Oh, so it's a water gun! ...Too bad she doesn't use guns indeed, because dang a water gun could have come in handy against those monsters! I mean come on, it would at least be better than using a flashlight against eyeless creatures. xD Tap shoes && Water Gun ==> Pffff, why does that mention of plush immediately make me think of Smuppets. GODDAMN IT BRO. :mspa: And dear god what is that brown hairy doll to the left of the couch... Well, we can't examine it for now, maybe if we look at the hallway from a different perspective? Possibly if we click at the bottom of the screen here, for the end of the hallway? ...Which seems like the most logical next step to do seeing as we've examined everything in this part of the hallway now! On the other hand, plainWonder has a fair point that we can probably safely try going to the attic for now. That shouldn't really trigger anything yet, seeing as we haven't retrieved our flashlight yet. So that's what we'll do next! And by next I mean tomorrow, 'cause we're calling it a day here. It's already 8:50 PM, god the time went by quickly.

The movie LIFE

This is my review of the movie “LIFE”. I was excited for this movie. I didn't watch any previews and, I waited several months after it came out to watch it. The minute I heard about it I instantly knew it could be and awesome sifi-horror movie mashup of some sort.

While I was waiting to watch the movie my friend suggested I play or watch game play of the game called “Prey”. I bet you are wondering what that has to really do with this movie. I was wondering the same thing. So of course out of curiosity I checked it out, I looked everywhere then I found someone did a 100% gameplay and put it on their youtube, I was so curious.

When I was watching the 100% gameplay viewers were asking the player if he had see the movie “Life”. He said that he had not seen the movie. The viewer said there are similar components to the movie and this game. I was excited and continued to watch.

“ Prey is a first-person shooter with role-playing and stealth elements with strong narrative set in an open world environment. The player takes the role of Morgan Yu, a human aboard a space station with numerous species of hostile aliens known collectively as the Typhon. The player is able to select certain attributes of Morgan, including gender, and decisions made by the player that affects elements of the game's story. To survive, the player must collect and use weapons and resources aboard the station to fend off and defeat the aliens. According to creative director Raphaël Colantonio, the station is completely continuous rather than having separate levels or missions, at times requiring the player to return to areas they previously explored. The player is also able to venture outside of the station in zero gravity and find shortcuts connecting parts of the station. Colantonio also stated that the aliens have an array of different powers that the player character can gain over time; one such alien has the ability to mimic everyday items such as a chair.The game has multiple endings, according to lead designer Ricardo Bare; the endings fall into three major narrative structures depending on how the player broadly interacted with the station and surviving humans, but Bare said there are "tons of little permutations" based on specific events.”

I was so involved with this game play I was jumping, gasping and reacting with the player. I was enjoying myself and I thought to myself “if the movie is anything like this I’m going to love it.” The gameplay and gamer where so good I was hooked and addicted. I'll give you a quick example when I was watching one of the episodes of the game play my fan flipped over a tissue (and because of the wind) it was slowly crawling on the floor. I got a quick glimpse of it in my side eye and I flipped, I screamed and stomped on the tissue with my foot. That was how enthralled, involved, and addicted I was. Being so into this game and game play I found myself so excited for the movie. When the gamer had finished playing and reached the end of his 100%. I was so sad I wanted more I was craving more like a drug I couldn't get enough. I looked to find other gamers play but no one could give me that same in-depth enthrallment and entertainment. Overall this game got me really excited for this movie.

When I heard Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal where in the movie my hopes dropped a little bit. I had a feeling it would be ok, predictable or horrible and a waste of my time. But because I watched this gameplay of “Prey” the possibility of similar components for horror in the movie. Being scared by a single tissue, jumping, gasping, and enthrallment. Is what gave me hope in the first place and is what made me wait so long to see the movie.

When I finally got the movie from Netflix I waited a few days till there was nothing on tv. (AKA) had to wait till night-time so my kiddo wouldn't see anything. With “Prey” in the back of my mind I was trying to stay level-headed. Pop in the movie here we go.

(To the good bits) (SPOILERS)

Once Hugh “revives” the alien that they named Calvin. I said out loud “you’re an idiot and you’re going to die”. I was close but a little off, this surprised me. Calvin brakes Hugh’s hand finger by finger till he passes out.

(My hopes for this being a good movie kick in. I didn’t see that coming.)

Once Hugh is passed out, [you figure oh it’s fine Calvin is in a sealed box] but then like all good horror movies the alien Calvin gets out using the electric stick. In another box they have a rat, Calvin slips in to the rat's box and you see him consume the rat into nothing. The Engineer Roy used this opportunity to save his coworker Hugh. They got Hugh out but then Calvin latched onto Roy’s leg. His coworkers basically lock the door and seal it shut.

(I was right about the dieing just not the right character.) (Now the movie starts getting a little predictable.)

Roy tried to use some sort of mini flamethrower to attempt to kill Calvin. Flamethrower goes out of fuel, Calvin kills Roy, flamethrower set’s off some type of space fire alarm, Calvin escape in to the space station, all sorts of hell commence.

(Skipping around the boring bits, To the end)

I'm not going to lie, I watched the ended like 4 times before understanding what exactly happens, and how it happened.

Two people are left alive David and Miranda. There are two Escape pods, David leads Calvin into one pod to eject into deep space. While Miranda will use the other escape pod to go back to earth and worn everyone.

If you think it's a happy ending it's not, not really anyways. The writers from the looks of it thought that the ending was a great plot twist. In my eyes it was ridiculous and predictable. Of course the alien Calvin will get to earth. From my eyes they made the near ending confusing to keep you guessing. It's supposedly a horror movie there was no need for it really. You’d have to be a real idiot to think that the ending would be happy. So why bother with the smoke and mirrors?

Anyways…

So Calvin reaches earth in the pod near Vietnam, a Vietnamese fisher goes to rescue the pod. You see Roy’s face yelling “NO” as the fisherman pop’s open the pod. Then the camera pans out for you to see two more boats go to investigate the pod. Then The End

Seeing that was the ending, that was it? I was mad! I went online in hopes to read more about the ending. I was hoping to find a better understanding of the ending.

Screenwriter Rhett Reese said: “An ending doesn’t have to be happy to be satisfying. As long as it’s a satisfying ending that logically makes sense within the confines of the story then it should work. For life to flourish, other life had to be destroyed. That’s the cruel paradox we really wanted to end on.”

The ending is apparently meant to be confusing. The ending was meant to set up a possible sequel. I was immediately appalled and discussed over the idea of a sequel. Typical Hollywood never knowing when to quit, and to greedy to realize a dead end when they hit one. (That’s a rant for a different day.)

I keep reading the link i found to see a rumor. "What about it being a prequel? As for the recent internet rumor that Life supposedly sets up a Venom franchise in the Spider-Man universe."

(From the looks of it that does not seem to be the way they are going) not going to lie that would have been really cool.

“Venom is a Symbiote, a sentient alien, with a gooey, almost liquid-like form. As with real-world symbiotes, it requires a host, usually human, to bond with for its survival. After bonding, the Symbiote endows its enhanced powers upon the host. When the Venom Symbiote bonds with a human, that new dual-life form refers to itself as “Venom”.”

“After Spider-Man’s costume is ruined from battles with the villains, he is directed by Thor and the Hulk to a room at the heroes’ base where they inform him a machine can read his thoughts and instantly fabricate any type of clothing. Choosing a machine he believes to be the correct one, Spider-Man causes a black sphere to appear before him, which spreads over his body, dissolving the tattered old costume and covering his body to form a new black and white costume.”

Ergo in the original Spider-Man comic book you don’t know exactly where that black sphere really comes from. Calvin is supposedly smart. Who’s to say the alien Calvin doesn’t get caught by the military, wises up and figures out how to hid. Hides for a few years, and becomes the black sphere that becomes venom.

To use a horror movie as a starter for a venom origin, or a villain origin story that would have been, I think beyond so cool. This would have been awesome to break that glass and create a villain origin story.

Alas it doesn’t look like that's the way they are going and that's a real shame. We see a lot of superhero movies and some of their origin stories. Superheroes had their time, ani-superheroes had their time. When will it be villain time? I don’t mean main villain’s I know how the different types of the “joker” was made or shown, same for catwoman, The Green Goblin , etc. and many others. Show me a villain origin story that's not high established.

*grown* (grrrraaahh)

This was a perfectly missed opportunity if you ask me.

If they do turn it into a prequel venom origin story (they won’t). If they did I can forgive this predictable wannabe mess of a so called sifi-horror movie. If they don’t turn it into a prequel (they won’t) and they do a sequel (they will) I’ll give it one star out of six. If they leave it as is and don't do either (highly unlikely but possible) three stars out of six. When netflix asks me to rate this movie with their star system right now I'll give it a three stars For Now! The minute I hear about a sequel is the minute I change my rating to one star.

EPISODE ELEVEN - “ONLY SO LONG BEFORE THE PET SNAKE TAKES A BITE “ - ANDREW

hieeeee. omg okay.. i feel like it's been a hot minute since i made an actual confessional and not just me vs kait and jenn in my host chat. ANYWAY. i won my second immunity basically just my luck sdhg. i just had one person in mind and went down the list each and every time and put there name with who i thought fit best and that really played out for me? NOW. i just won my third immunity and jake literally... went off one. saying fuck me and shit. like bro skldhg. im gonna be at work till 10pm tomorrow and im gonna miss tribal and the whole day. i couldn't risk anything because anything could happen so i had to ensure MY safety. like i love jake but i swear he has one more nasty mesage to send me before i ask him "who do you think ur talking to btw?" can i just say this real quick... allison- started the rally to try to get me out me- lets get allison out. allison- goes home. ryan- was partners with jordan pming everyone trying to get me out. me- lets get ryan out. ryan- goes home. jordan- same as above. was partners with ryan pming everyone trying to rally votes against me the allison week. me- lets get jordan out. jordan- goes home. everyone- lets get andrew out its time! me- lets get jaiden out. jaiden- goes home. https://68.media.tumblr.com/02aa5ec34518a894eef3408820de7bbd/tumblr_ohuo4d0OUh1uxnkpto1_1280.jpg NOW. im not getting jake out. he can have his hissy fit all he wants but i know theres loyalty still down there. but do i want isaac or andrew out now? hmm..

ME: TRIES TO SAVE ANDREW IS SUPER EXCITED WHEN JAIDEN FUCKS HIMSELF OVER SO ANDREW CAN SURVIVE THINKS WE'RE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER ANDREW: I'M GUNNA ELIMINATE SAM FROM THIS CHALLENGE ME: BOY WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? I'M OVER IT!! I'M READY TO KILL ANDREW I've decided I want me, Zack, JC, and Sam B to final 4 because fuck Jake and Andrew for killing me and fuck Isaac because he's guilty by association. Also in all of these receipts of Jaiden trying to try up the votes, ANDREW is the one who suggested me! Jaiden said me or JC and Andrew COULD HAVE SAID JC BUT HE DIDN'T SO BYE ANDREW. AND HE THREW HIS VOTE TO ME WHEN IT COULD HAVE GONE TO SOMEONE ELSE HONESTLY BYE

I'm honestly v upset to see Jaiden go :( I was definitely stressed in those last few confessionals but I really do luv Jaiden so much and actually did see us getting so much further in the game together :/ I don't know why he had to flip and not even tell me about it but idk hopefully I can make the best of this. Like I'm not the reason he got out necessarily and I feel like our relationship was good enough to have an ok chance of getting his vote if I ever make it to FTC, which is highly unlikely idek why I'm thinking about that when it's still like 5 votes away if it is going to be a f2 like I think it is. Then the immunity challenge seemed to go well even though I didn't win. It appears to have raised distrust towards Andrew from Sam which is veryyyy good because I'd love to get Andrew out! I'm not a fan of the comp slayers in the game, even miss Zack and Jakey who are my allies are worrisome because of their challenge abilities. Sky Ferreira is sex btw. Speaking of jakey too I'm not sure where his head is at? Idk I got weird vibes in the challenge, especially since he took me out before comp queen Zack which is...interesting, so it's caused a bit of untrust with jakey and I too. I'm just worried that he's actually going to start picking his game up and start slayin and when he does I wonder if he's going to stick with me or flip and go with other people. So I need to keep an eye out for his ass, and another on the finish line. I'm also going to try for the time being to just continue playing as if I don't have an idol. I feel like idols can impair your judgement abilities and actually be a kind of crux to your gameplay because you can get a bit too assured of yourself, and you can never feel safe in these games. It's worrying now too because I see like one of the main benefits that was around keeping Jaiden was that he was such a big threat, it was just like you could just be like oh yeah let's do Jaiden, and people would be like yeah tru and then of course you could flip it to who you really want later. Now jaidens gone and Isaac asked me who I wanted to vote and it's not like I could be like oh yea we should vote Jaiden hurr hurr. So idk I was just like what about jakey idk and he was like yeah I think jaidens high key annoying and I was just like ok 👀 mama calm down as he continued talking about how jakey a lil trifling hoe, but I mean jakey likes Make Me (Cry) by Noah Cyrus so could he really be that bad? Idk. I should ask what his zodiac sign is before I make any decisions for the vote or ideas of his character.

flkjfdsal I don't remember if I did a confessional but this could be my last one since it's 20 minutes before the vote and I've heard NOTHING from anyone except for JC! so like fuck Andrew and Isaac honestly I REALLY hope me Sam Zack and JC stick together but I don't see it happening. I'm pretty sure I'm getting voted out so like it's been real.

I'm so happy I've made Final 7 but more importantly, I made it passed Jaiden! This vote is messy btw I just woke up from a nap and I have no idea what I'm doing.

So I'm being voted by Sam G, JC, and Zack. I know that for sure. I'm hoping Myself, Isaac, and Sam B all vote together. And just get out JC. I guess Zack is playing a map on me. So he'll see I voted for JC. And they might play an idol on JC and I'll be fucked. I dunno if an idol is being played tonight but hopefully if it is then it's played on Sam G? I really don't wanna die. But id I am then Zack is a snake. Like I knew that asdfghj but. I was hoping maybe he would actually take the secret pair beware thing farther. I guess it was fun while it lasted. Only so long before the pet snake takes a bite. Anyway, I'm probs not surviving tonight. So I hope Isaac or Sam B or Jake wins. But like 98% hope Isaac wins because he fucking deserves it. This will likely be my last confessional so. It's been fun and I'm glad I was able to play a pretty awesome all-star season. Anyway DAN GHEESLING IS MY BROTHER BYE.

I HATE MAKING DECISIONS! I have 5 minutes to decide whether I want to work with Isaac and Andrew or Jc and zack. I'm super nervous because there will be drawbacks for each option I choose. Zack will probably yell at me a LOT if I flip and Isaac will probably be so hurt by me and not want to be friendship anymore. And I want to work with Andrew in PI Allstars so I don't want to betray him here. Ugh this is messy fuck

welp i have 5 minutes so zack fucked me over hard core in immunity this round and all trust i did have in him is lost. this round it would be ideal for JC to leave but idk if sam b. is smart enough to make that move... um!!! yeah im just trying to convince her but i dont rly see it happening. andrew will prob leave or me tbh. i honestly think its me lmao. oh well. fuck zack

WELL, It appears Andrew is voting me again! Vote me once, shame on you; vote me twice, bitch you gotta go! Ugh idk I'm heeeeella nervous that I might be going tonight so I'm definitely keeping my idol close, we might be seeing a play tonight. Maybe even two if Andrew has one. Hm. So, I approached Isaac, told him I wanted to vote Andrew. He claimed he was down to vote Andrew too, but told Sam that he wasn't going to vote me but would vote someone else. Sounds like an idol might be getting played on andrewwww so they're splitting the votes, huh?! How. Fucking. Cute!!! This is disgusting I'll probably have to play my vote negator on whoever Isaac votes and use my idol for everything to work out tonight. UGH! This is so worrisome, idk why Andrew had to vote me tho! Like girl couldn't you vote either Sam instead since everyone else is on your side and Zack is immune. Whyyyyy meeeeeee 😢😢 it's not like I was pushing to vote for Andrew this week and last week also! *sarcasm* but I mean still, come on! It's not like Sam G wasn't pushing for you too, ugh. I don't know this is tough, if anything I'm probably gonna at least reveal to someone that I have an idol tonight or something. I need to find out how this vote is gonna go down...this is gonna be a long bumpy rife

Later...

Oh my fucking God Samantha BUSSY voted me out I can't fucking believe this. I'm honestly shook like I messaged Sam G first asking if she flipped then when she said no I went to Zack when he said no I was like what the fuck, how could it be pure angel Sam Bussy??? I pressed her and eventually she admitted to it. So I went to her and she denied it at first but finally admitted to it later. Then I called her and I think I flipped her. Hopefulfuckingly! I'm trying to flip Isaac as well just in case anything goes wrong and hopefully I can. I really hope I stay my dumbass should've played my idol when my gut told me to, but I simply didn't listen, I'm so stupid! But if I /do/ survive, then this would really be a wild move and I'll definitely be playing shit next week, if not everything smh. I'm puhRAYING that my mist works, because if not I'm going down as a big idiot who went home with their idol, probably the first big idiot who went home with their idol in storybook history! THE BIGGEST IDIOT IN STORYBOOK HISTORY!!! Kms if I go out this game I'm screaming.
