6 for the oc ask thing

Actually fucking marry me for sending an ask for the oc ask thing but anyways

6. Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?

No specification on which OC so like., I guess Ill go through all of them because this is an interesting question

(Big answer under cut)

Rainworld OC's

Endless - Endless will always, ALWAYS take advice from Chime. The only time he didn't was during their argument. He's especially reinforced the idea of listening to Chime now that they're together <3., He also won't take advice from... A lot of people, however probably Belief is the main person he will not take even friendly advice from

Koi - Will always take advice from her ancients. In comparison to her combative and competitive behaviors toward other iterators, she oddly listens to her colony. She's never talked about the matter, but its most likely due to knowing what happened to her brother when *he* didn't pay attention. It's a main reason she worries for him and tries to protect him, even nowadays.

Niche - Niche will always take advice from Cookie. Specifically cookie. She'll rarely every pay attention to her scavengers as she believes they have nothing good to say, but she has a soft spot for cookie- and sometimes she has a point. Also, Niche will never, *NEVER* take advice from iterators or ancients who have been apart of a taboo matter (i.e sliverist group chats/conspiracies, self destruct sequences, breaking the torture method, etc).

Those are all the important RW oc's of mine lmaoo. One Last Chime [OLC] belongs to @chaoticgoober as always.

Downfall

Oh boy. Oh boy. I have.. Wayy too many downfall characters to go over this, so Ill just go over with it for a handful.

Noah - Noah by beloved <3 I love him so much ^^ Anyway. After years of living with them, noah's pretty much learnt to take any and all advice from The Watcher. Considering they're a godlike being. The only type of advice they wont take and instead will *give* Watcher is emotional advice. also I think this was already a given but noah will not take advice from Kevin. not. not that kevin would give any advice.

Sludge - Sludge will take advice from everyone, however he'll always listen to his grandmother <3 He doesn't have a particular someone he won't want advice from (unless you count his father who he wants nothing to do with).

Kevin - Will take advice from Divala, will not take advice from Noah

Aqua - Awa will take advice for ANYTHING from ANYONE. Genuinely. He is extremely tentative and will listen and do whatever you say.

Nightshade - Will take advice from Dayna always. Will not take advice from Cindy. He doesn't care that they're siblings, he does not trust her. she threw a lizard at him

Si`le - Will take advice from Cupid. They're the bestest of friends <3 Will NOT take advice from the other sins. Quite frankly they can go fuck themselves in his opinion.

(Dayna belongs to @littleauralite)

Lethal Company

:3

Harvey - Harvey will forever and always take advice from Baron. He likes his short chubby friend much more than he'd like to admit. He will not take advice from Theo, even if it's advice like 'hey I don't think you should go in there I think I saw a bracken' because he will just blatantly ignore him

Baron - Same thing, will always listen to Harves <3 Won't not listen to advice from anyone he's good with whatever

Elle - You don't listen to anybody, do you?

Theo - Will always, always take advice from Elle. He knows damn well she knows what she's talking about. This is especially useful when *he* doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. N/A on the second part

Cheerio - N/A, I think this is pretty clear

Ye., these characters are from a rp thang I'm doing with @xenomorphicdna , @bongocongocaveman , @leastactivejester (soon), and my friend chickenboi

Ooops., i rambled sowwy

Scythe chapter 16-20!!

Ayy we’re backk!! Let’s just get started shall we?

Chapter 16!!

-oh god the elegy—

-“Could you imagine me as a teenager?” OH YES I CAN OHOHO

-This also shows how much power scythes and especially Goddard has

-And also shows how bad of a scythe Goddard is as well

-Scythe Curie makes a good point that also relates to the toll, in which it doesn’t matter if they kill Goddard or anyone like him because another with the same ideology will always come along without fail

-this chapter didn’t have much but it IS good so ykyk

Chapter 17!!

-OHHH ITS THE MOMENT THAT EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS OVER!! SCYTHE FARADAY IS D-D-DEAD or is he? :) :)

-Rowan instinctively trying to protect Citra!!!

-it makes sense for most disabilities to be nonexistent but that doesn’t mean I have to like it :/ like idk why the way it’s done is just :// especially as a disabled person myself

-The way the describe Faraday’d death is already suspicious if you already know he isn’t dead but when you’re first reading it, it does make sense!

-OH AND THE SEPARATE TRAININGS BEGINS!!!

-“If I ever take on an apprentice it will be for a different reason entirely.” OHOHO I KNOW I KNOWWWW

-Again not much to say BUT still rlly good!!

Chapter 18!!!

-Part 3 begins!!

-SCYTHE CURIE!!

-Again I always forget the names of these places, falling water is a very pretty name!!

-Citra being angry about Faraday’s death OUGH, she’s rlly going through 5 stages of grieve style

-Could you imagine ppl in the future calling our decor and shit old fashioned? Bizarre

-I love how they make Curie instantly charming and likable with only a few scenes, good writing man!!

-What hobbies would other scythes have? I wonder…

-Fun fact, i cannot drive, tried to learn and crashed the car, oh how I wish driving wasn’t necessary like in scythe

-Giving us little notes about the comfort scythes can give

-We hear a lot about being stagnant in the Scythe universe, and like, yeah, if you were in this utopia wouldn’t you grow stagnant even quicker than most? You have nothing to do literally

-You can really feel how observant Curie is, she noticed the small details

-Jesus even Curie’s yelling scared ME and I already knew what was gonna happen! She’s rlly intimidating—

-Gotta uphold your image!!

-“Another Scythe might have exacted a punishment far worse.” *COUGH COUGH GODDARD*

-Again shit names!! Barton Breen??? What??

-20 kids,, Jesus,,

-You can Curie’s own version of compassion, it’s different from Faradays yet still wonderful

-She did find her own way of gleaning!!

-Again FUCK Goddard!!

-I do wonder what would happen if Citra was trained by Goddard instead of Rowan…

-“Immortality has turned us all into cartoons.” GOD THAT LINEE

-Amazing chapter!! Told a LOT abt Curie!!!

CHAPTER 19!!!!

-Oo!! I thought this moment happened in Thunderhead but I misremembered!!

-Tho I THINK something similar happens??? Idk maybe my memory is fuckin with me ushejdj

-ALSO DAMN CITRA!! Pushin girls in front of TRUCKS holy fuck!!!

-Hate the eating descriptions!!

-TELL THE MOTHER YOU TWO!!! LIKE CMON??

-Cindy lmaoo, whenever someone whitewashes Citra im gonna call it Cindy instead <3 spite

-“err on the side of respect.” LMAO love that line

-RONDA ROADKILL IM DYINGGGGGG and so did she! (Temporarily but yk)

-“Can i throw you under a truck some other time?” She’s a busy person! I’d totally throw Citra under a truck! Would be fun!

-Morals change when theres little consequences, Citra would never even CONSIDER pushing Ronda in the mortal age, but since people can just come back it doesn’t seem like such a bad thing, it also shows how the concept of empathy and morality has changed in this society

-“the cloud” like icloud! Guess apple won in this world!

-“The machine had a purer soul than any human” NO IT DOESNT IVE SEEN AI ART YOU CANT FOOL ME!!!

-FUCK YOU SCYTHE GODDARD!!!

-OO TIME FOR CITRA TO INVESTIGATE!! I remember LOVING this plot so!!!!

Chapter 20!!

-Rowan finally!!! I missed you!!!!!

-He doesn’t wanna kill Citra!!! The beginning of his devotion to her UGHHH

-god hes only 17, I think we forgot how young these characters are, they really are just kids being pushed into this horrible situation god,,,

-“His was a life without substance, and now it would end.” God and here we see Rowan’s iconic self deprecating “emo” moments, people make fun of these scenes a lot but I fucking love em, it really contrasts Rowan and Citra. Citra has people who love and care about her, Rowan doesn’t, he knows that (in this moment) if he died no one would really care or remember him, so when he finds Citra, someone who does care about him and would care if he died, he clings to it. I mean when you’re that neglected and want SOMEONE to care even a little about you, wouldn’t you do the same thing?

-He already wants to change things!! And he will!! He will change a lot, though not as much as his girlfriend!!

-VOLTA!!

-“So is there a reason why you choose your robes to be the color of piss?” HA one of my favorite lines!!

-“the Change” god their ideology—, the fact they’re all thinking that they’re changing things for the better really shows how convincing of a man Goddard is, GOD i hate him!!!

-Ans here we have Goddard’s MANY parties

-my sensory issues would hate this

-I accidentally spelled Goddard’s name as Goodard which…Isn’t that so Ironic?

-“Bimbotech” Neal I’m BEGGING you to stop

-“Rowan wondered if the man had a diamond-studded bathing suit in his waredrobe as well.” He would because he’s a vain prick!!

-HES UNDERAGE STOP GIVING HIM ALCOHOL!! *Looking at you RAND especially ya creep—*

-“He was lucky if they even remembered to get him a gift” rowans parents man,,, He was really fucking neglected man it’s so awful, and the fact he still cares about them despite that GODDD

-See how goddard bend the rules? See how he twists them to make them fit what HE wants? Yeah, he’s gonna do that a lot; again, fuck you Goddard

-ESME!!! Shes backk!! And he’s right! She’ll be important!!

-GOD this is a good chapter, rowan my beloved!!

And that’s it!!! Next time will be chapters 21-25!! We’re going so fast aren’t we?

#the tone speaks #arc of a scythe #long post #this will make things a bit out of order apologies

[frecklystars]

Only god forgives - some of the goriest shots without spoilering it too much: cops look at a corpse (8:10-8:25), Julian extends his arm towards something in the hallway (around 16:50) look away!!! Towards the end of the movie it's obvious the cop is going to kill somebody and later on there's a long scene with the corpse. There's obviously more and I hate gore but I made it through 👍 it's worth it for Julian. Be sure to tell us what you think after you watch it!

ARE YOU MY GUARDIAN ANGEL???? MY LIFE SAVER??? HELLO???? HI HELLO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELLO. THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭😭😭🙏

It is worth it for Julian indeed!!!! I cannot stop thinking about him lately. I was hoping I’d watch Only God Forgives this month, but we’re nearing the end of April and I may have to push this movie to June (I try to only watch one Ryan movie per month to keep the hyperfixation going) … someones gotta watch it with me tho, I can’t do a horror movie by myself for the first two or three times until I know when to look away and when I’m more like. emotionally prepared I guess LOL maybe I can still pull it off this month. Internally battling with “hey the hyperfixation lasts longer if you save the movie for later :)” vs “hey you love Julian so much and wouldn’t it be soooo cute to have an April anniversary when it’s springtime?? 🥺” and sure I may not know anything about Julian whatsoever… but I DO know he looks handsome. just a given with any baby goose character. and he’s probably very violent 😍😍 which means he’s a new bodyguard F/O and he’d get along with Driver very nicely in the Mojo Dojo Casa Ken Keri Dreamhouse :]

Thank you so much for the timestamps. That was really nice of you to look that up for me. I’ve tried looking up a trigger list and it’ll say “hey, something gory happens :)” and I’m like “ok cool. when. when does it happen. what exactly happens and when do I look away” and it just says “:) teehee. something gory sure does happen in this film” repeatedly LMAO

I remember the first time I looked up Drive trigger warnings and it said “the elevator scene is shocking.” and I was like… ok, does that mean there’s electrocution? Had no warning about head stomping whatsoever DHFHJSHFJ but thankfully that scene goes by so fast, I don’t register the gore. It just looks like a watermelon on the floor and is actually one of my favorite scenes — BUT STILL. what kind of trigger list is “haha this part is shocking :)” so EVERY single time a character used the elevator, my friend and I would tense up because we’d expect “something shocking”. It’s so funny looking back on it. We tensed up that ENTIRE MOVIE the first time we watched it together and I think the scariest part for me personally is just the Blanche scene (not the decapitation scene… but uh, the other one, involving Driver) I think that shakes me up worse than the actual gore. And again! No warnings for that part at ALL when I looked up Drive content warnings. Just came outta nowhere. A lot of ppl think it’s “hot” tho so maybe that’s why ppl didn’t bother to mention it 🤷‍♀️

Another funny story about that (sorry I’ve got adhd I am here to ramble, I’m almost done I swear), I was gonna watch Blue Valentine for the first time back in February, right? And I didn’t expect any blood/gore warnings but I wanted to look it up anyways just in case. It said “domestic violence” and I thought, “oh fuck, does Dean hit Cindy? Holy shit I need to be mentally prepared if I have to see that” esp since I know how that scene in Drive affected me the first time I watched it. so I tried looking up more content warnings, even on Reddit — EVERYONE said something totally different. “Dean hits Cindy” “no actually Cindy asks Dean to hit her but he doesn’t want to” “Dean sexually assaults Cindy” etc etc. So I had to ask a friend to watch this movie with me for emotional support, thank god they said yes. They looked up other content warnings too, like for a solid half hour we were just trying to find the content warnings for this fuckin film, they were like “dude it says here Cindy beats Dean up and then another one says that doesn’t happen but Cindy slaps him across the face while they’re being intimate?” and I’m like… what. So then finally I just went ahead and messaged a Ryan mutual/friend who saw the film and I was like “hey man did you see Blue Valentine?? does Dean hurt Cindy in any way” and they were like “no but it gets really rough in [insert description here] but there’s no hitting or assault or anything” and I was like oh ok then that’s fine. So then we watched Blue Valentine — NONE OF THOSE CONTENT WARNINGS HAPPENED?????? There was indeed a pretty tense/rough scene that my mutual described and I was prepared for that, but it was NOTHING at ALL like what the content warning websites were saying. Absolutely no violence in the bedroom whatsoever. My friend and I still laugh about how ridiculous that was, we keep looking up warnings for these movies and getting the most vague warnings or just straight up completely false information.

We have this running joke now where before we watch a movie together we say “wow I can’t wait to look up the trigger warnings and get super tense for the scenes to Not Happen!”

2,805 miles

There’s 2,805 miles between here and home.

If he hadn’t changed his mind, there would only be 181.

Why did he change his mind? The question would probably forever haunt him, the biggest decision he’ll ever make, he’ll always wonder whether or not it was the right choice. MIT had been his dream for so long, but he chose Caltech.

MIT was a good school, one of the best, but it was also the school Tony went to. Peter didn’t mind living in Tony’s shadow, but he was worried about the possibility of added pressure or being handed things because of his relationship to one of the biggest alumni. He doesn’t want an unfair advantage like that.

But god does the 2,805 miles feel uncrossable.

MJ’s at Harvard. Ned’s at MIT. Flash is taking the year abroad with Harry. Cindy’s at NYU. Betty’s at Yale. Their group of geniuses have been split up and scattered across the country, and Peter’s alone on the west coast.

It shouldn’t be this bad, the homesickness, the ever present ache in his chest, the crushing loneliness, the bittersweet phone calls. It shouldn’t feel like this. He’s in college, for god’s sake. He should be out partying, meeting new people, studying in beautiful libraries, being a free adult. But instead, he’s curled up in bed, laptop open to the Skype screen as he counts down the minutes until Tony will call him.

He knows what Flash would say. Poor baby wants his mommy? Oh wait. And it shouldn’t sting, it wouldn’t if it weren’t true. Flash knows what lines not to cross anymore, dead mom jokes are okay, they should be fine, Peter makes them himself all the time, but it’s true, and it hurts. He wishes his mom were here. He wishes his mom and dad were still living in California, just a bus ride away, and he could go visit them for Family Dinner.

What he really wants is just a hug.

What he would give for May to give him a hug and kiss his forehead and tell him everything would be okay.

The text comes through, an apology, an excuse, something about Morgan, and the postponing of their Skype call.

And it’s okay because Tony doesn’t know. He doesn’t know how desperate Peter’s getting, how much he craves the smallest normalcy, how much he needs these conversations to function. It’s okay.

He calls MJ instead.

“Hey, I’m a bit busy, dude, can I call you back?”

“Yeah, no worries!” he says, proud of himself for keeping his voice even. And then she hangs up and he’s alone in his small, empty, unhomely dorm room with plain white walls and textbooks stacked carefully on the edge of his desk and his pile of clothes in the corner of the open closet.

It’s pathetic really.

“Fuck,” he says, out loud because it’s the only human voice he gets to hear that isn’t tinny or crackly over device speakers. “It’s going to be just fine, okay? Five weeks until Spring Break. Five weeks. You can survive five weeks.”

He sits up, stretches, counts to ten and then drags himself over to his desk.

*

“I think I’m depressed,” he tells Ned the next day.

His back aches, the pit in his stomach has just gotten darker, his head hurts, his eyes are so dry, his hands keep cramping, but at least he’s ahead in his physics class, right?

Ned kind of laughs, one that means he’s not quite sure if it’s a joke or not. “Homesick?”

“How do you know me so well?”

“You’re, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, a momma’s boy. You like familiarity and comfort and your love language is physical affection which I’m sure you haven’t been getting much of lately. Even if your family has it’s… complications, they’re still the most important thing to you so it’s hard to be so far away.”

“What the hell, dude?”

Ned laughs, realer this time. “Sorry, I’m taking a psych class.”

“Is it easier there? Being closer, I mean?”

He pauses, thinks about it, the sound of Peter’s fan, the one constant in his life, that fills the space between. “It’s not like I’ve exactly got the time or money to make the roadtrip home all the time. A hundred and eighty miles is still a hundred and eighty miles.”

“I guess.”

“All I’m saying is that you made your choice for all the right reasons, and you shouldn’t change your mind now because you think MIT will be easier. Peter Parker doesn’t give up for the easier option.”

“Please don’t tell me you’re taking a philosophy class too.”

“Speaking of, I’ve gotta go, dude, I’m sorry. Listen, take a shower, get dressed, go for a walk, eat something good. It’ll make you feel better.”

He gets a notification for five dollars sent to him by MJ with a little note buy yourself a coffee bestie.

Peter’s nothing if not a good listener, so he gets up and does as he’s told. It’s a nice, cool day in California, so he puts on a pair of jeans, a collared button-up, and a comfy sweater overtop, a classic Peter look. If MJ saw him, she’d definitely tell him that college is about experimenting and finding yourself, not sticking to what you’ve always been. Despite them not being here, he’ll always have her voice in his head. And he buys himself a coffee from the shop just around the corner of his dorm building.

Campus is big so it’ll be a long walk to go around the campus in a circle. He puts on some music and starts walking, getting lost in his head.

Smell the roses, May would say. Get out of that big head of yours and see the world around you.

And if Ned were there, he’d laugh and say, If we had brains like his, we’d never see the world either.

Peter would blush and shake his head, try to peel back the compliments but he’s learned it’s pointless with them.  

Someone touches his arm, a barely there feeling, and he looks up, a polite smile on his face. You have a resting sad face, MJ says in his head.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to bother you.”

He focuses on the southern speaker, a young man with wild dirty blond curls, sunkissed skin, a sprinkling of freckles over his nose, a silver nose ring, dark blue eyes, and eyelashes he knows Cindy would fawn over.  He’s wearing an old black t-shirt that reads Yee and a flannel over top with a pair of even older straight-legged jeans.

“It’s alright,” Peter says automatically. You’re too nice to strangers, it’ll get you killed, MJ would say.

“Penny for your thoughts?”

“Just thinking about how my friend would say I’m too nice for my own good,” he replies honestly. “And too honest.”

The man laughs. “Maybe, and my sister would say I’m too forward or maybe that I’m annoying, but it’s who I am… My name’s Harley, we’re in the same chemistry class with Bailer. You didn’t show up for class yesterday and I was thinking about reaching out to offer my notes, but I chickened out. Like why would a random student notice one person missing from our class of like three hundred? It seemed creepier than helpful.”

“That’s very kind of you,” Peter says. He takes a nervous sip of his coffee. He doesn’t know why he’s nervous, but he also knows exactly why he’s so nervous. It’s just a conversation with a classmate, but Harley’s paying his full attention to him, looking at him and smiling and nose ring catching the sunlight.

“It wasn’t too complicated anyway,” Harley says. “And from what I’ve seen, you’re like a certified genius, so I don’t know how much my notes would help, but at least it’s something.”

Harley pulls open his bag adorned with colorful pins and pulls out a notebook filled to the brim with cue cards and sticky notes and paperclips a variety of colors. He flips it open and rips out the last few pages and hands it over.

“Here,” he says, smile unwavering like it’s what he was born to do. “You can give them back to me the next time you’re in class.”

“Sure, of course, thank you so much.” May would roll her eyes at his constant good manners and say you sure didn’t get that from me or your uncle.

Harley nods. “Yeah! My mom would say it’s southern hospitality or something.” He puts on a higher pitched, slower voice to imitate his mom.

Peter can’t help the smile that tugs at his mouth. They have very similar thinking patterns, apparently. “Well, thank you.”

“Hey!” Harley says, looking at Peter’s coffee. “Do you live at Pasadena? I’ve been meaning to try their coffee place, is it good?”

“It’s really good, yeah… Maybe we can study together there sometime?” Peter offers shyly. “We have that big chem midterm coming up and I haven’t found any study partners yet.”

Harley smiles a little wider. “That sounds perfect. Here, I’ll write my number on those notes so you have it and we can find a time that works.”

He pulls a red sharpie from his bag and writes his number on the chemistry notes.

Nice one, loser, didn’t think you had it in you, MJ would say. And Ned would laugh and demand pictures and the phone number so he can see for himself if Harley’s good enough. And May would ruffle his hair and try to give him a condom. Just in case! she’d say, hands lifted in defense and try to teach him about safe sex again. And Cindy would start spouting statistics about first dates and relationships. And Flash would say, how’d you score someone so out of your league, Parker?

“It’s a date,” Harley grins. “I’ll see you around, Peter. And, might I suggest, get out of that genius head of yours before you run into a tree.”

And maybe he’s not so homesick. Maybe he needs to make California his new home with people like Harley. Maybe he should reach out to Gwen from his English Literature class who he worked on a project with. And maybe he should start talking to the boy who lives across the hall from him in Pasadena, Harry, who loaned him a couple quarters to do his laundry and bakes cookies every weekend to share with the floor.

Maybe he will get out of his head and into the world.

There might be 2,805 miles miles between Caltech and Queens, but there’s only half a mile between his dorm and coffee and a world of possibilities.

More Disco Elysium (definitely spoilers):

I have, at this point, completed one in-game day.

So, some interesting shit, both on its own and when considered in combination: 1) talking to the dead body. Did not expect that. I read this more of an abstraction—Harry (apparently) talking to himself, or whatever it is that’s in his head. 2) Only got to the title card when I opened the ledger. I honestly thought I’d died for a second and the game had restarted---we went back to that “reptilian brain/limbic system” conversation space from the opening, what happens when Harry passes out, I guess. But like, okay. What that basically confirms for me is something I already sort of suspected; the murder is, to at least some degree, incidental to whatever the actual story is here. The real story is whatever’s going on with Harry.

Which, okay, hold on. Given the sort of ambiguous ontology re: the real world that I was talking about last time, makes me wonder…This is a dream, isn’t it? Or something like that. Something not quite “real,” in the traditional sense. So the two stories are kind of one story—all the shit going on in this world re: racism/labor/disco somehow reflects the more personal story. Harry did make an explicit connection between himself and the body (or the body did, I’m not sure, but like… that’s what I mean). I dunno. I’m spitballing here, maybe they aren’t going that far with it, but this line of thinking is encouraging me to try and find parallels/connections in a way I wasn’t before, so I’m rollin’ it around in the ol’ noggin’ for the moment (you might say I have it equipped to one of my thought slots…)

(I have some more “what if, though” ideas that spin out from that, but they’re wild speculation still at this point.)

But more in-world mystery stuff.. the fuck was Call Me Mañana talking about when he said “Thank him [Cuno] for showing me the *way.*” What way? What does that mean? It’s an odd thing to say. It didn’t let me ask about that, but like…  There is a part of me that thinks maybe Cuno is just building himself up, just messing with me. But then this comes along. It reenforces the feeling that that kid has some SHIT up his sleeve. Also, what’s CMM’s deal? Why did Joyce hear about the lynching from HIM? He says he doesn’t work in a gatekeeping capacity, but like… what capacity DOES he work in?

Got into the apartments, tracking down the smoking fellow. Apparently I have to come back tomorrow? (Still on the first day.) But who is his “friend?” Also, the dead guy has stars tattooed all over him and now there’s an astrologer with a padlocked door? Hm. Also Either 1) the cleaning lady is lying about Apt 10, or… something else is happening. Something, perhaps not dissimilar from Harry speaking to voices? Or it’s squatters, I guess. Either way, not sure what to do with that information yet, but noted.

Cindy’s pretty rad. At least, based on that first interaction. Also lol @ “the subject’s evident hostility to her interviewer” in the profile of C.S. in the communist magazine, cos yeah, I can see that. So she’s not a fan of pigs or communists… and she talks about bringing a little chaos to town… hm. The more I think about that, the more I’m getting like the Spock-eyebrow about it.

Did Cuonoesse just quote Snoop Dogg at me?

Bird’s Nest Roy said something about “The Man from Hjelmdall” being “an ontological necessity.” The story has made it so that he exists. Like, I feel like he’s telling me something about the nature of this world, you know?

OH MY GOD I FINALLY MADE THE STUPID JUMP DOWN TO THE COAT. Just had to take 2 points in Savoir Faire, find new pants and a sweaty tanktop, and take off my shoes. Yeesh. Good, though. I didn’t wanna have to deal with Measurehead anymore. But, of course, by the time I got there, it was after 22:00.

So I’m talking to the Bloated Corpse of a Drunk, and ask him what Elysium is, because… I would like to know that. I’m trying to make sense of his answer. But he also says “You were just talking to yourself. That’s all you ever do. Even in your dreams. And the act is wearing thin, the spots of the disco ball fade around you.” Which like, comes back to the whole “this whole thing is a dream, or maybe a dying mind unraveling its trauma, Mulholland Drive style, or something” hypothesis. (Why did the car tell me it’s “at the bottom of the sea?”) But what does it mean that “four point six billion people—and you failed every one of them?” Is that hyperbole or…?

Annnnd I wound up my play session by accidentally agreeing to find some speed, but… I mean, who hasn’t accidentally agreed to find and ingest some powerful drugs, amirite?

DC's Stargirl 3.11 "Chapter Eleven: The Haunting" has aired on the CW and I'm here to talk about it

After last week, all I can say is what the fuck? Icicle is alive, Tigress & Sportsmaster are dead, Cameron has learned the truth, and Ultra-Humanite is on the loose. Everyone has gone wrong. Let's see everything get worse.

Okay, starting on a flashback. Not a bad sign. So instead of his ice form just reforming, Icicle just turned into water, went into the sewer, and somehow reformed from a puddle. Got it. But I guess he can't really fully hold himself together. His new body might only be temporary.

I really like how this show has never shied away from the weird & cooky names from comics.

Courtney may think the Mahkent's don't know Mike killed Jordan, but she's about to be in for a big surprise. Jordan probably remembers who really did it.

They're figuring out that something happened to Lawrence and Paula. I'm gonna really miss the friendships the parents had.

It'd be really funny if Granny Mahkent thought this Jordan was an imposter and tried to/successfully killed him. It's interesting to me that Cameron's wife is the one who had an interest in snowglobes, not Jordan. I don't know why, just a fun little detail I like. Sure, I'm willing to give Jordan points for his argument. Like, he's got an understandable reason to be all evil. I get why he does the thing that he does. However, if we remember back to his plan in season one, that was still genocide. I don't remember the exact number but Jordan fully knew that some percentage (I think a 3rd? That sounds right) of the people he'd mind control would die from it. So like, still evil and still needed to be stopped, even if he had good intentions and reasoning.

Jordan forgiving Mike for killing him is an interesting twist. Forgiving all of them even. Which is interesting because he's applying the same "they thought what they were doing was right" (they were) logic that he and the ISA applied to their own plan. I wonder if knowing that Courtney was willing to potentially get herself fully killed by taking responsibility for Jordan's death will affect Cameron's view of her now that he knows she was protecting Mike. I've said it before, I don't think Cameron would've gone to kill Mike. But Granny definitely would've if not for the peace talks she just had with the Crocks.

What is Jordan's endgame? He's clearly been the one watching everyone. But why? Did he bring Ultra-Humanite here?

If only Cindy was here, this would be the ultimate squad.

There aren't even bodies for them to find. Artemis will probably recover from this.

Of course, they discover Jordan through Barbara! Oh fuck, this is bad. That bitch was really creepy obsessed with her. And his creeper energy has not gone away. Sends bad shivers down my spine. Someone kill him for real this time.

Oh, I did not expect the Staff to be able to do that. That's scary. Sylvester is going to come after Icicle the same way that he did the Crocks, and this time I think one of them might actually kill the other.

Self-defence my ass.

Do you think Cameron that his dad was the one who killed his friend Joey? And why? We know what this man does to his teammates and their families.

Cindy's back!!

I feel so happy about the mention of the Zarick's. Yes Courtney, hold his bitch ass accountable!

Okay, first of all. It is not naive to be willing to give someone a second chance and see the good in people. I don't think Icicle deserves one, but Courtney is not naive for her heart.

I knew these fuckers were working together!! It's a ruse!!!

Two episodes left. Holy shit. So much to do, so little time. I feel like we're gearing up for a showdown between Courtney and Sylvester. Which is good, someone needs to put him in his place. The title of episode 12 does make me think that Sylvester is probably going to die again. I don't want to Courtney to kill him, but I do want her to kick his ass before he does.

It's all coming down to this.

Keep in mind, there is a bit of a break. We won't have a new episode next this, but rather the following week on November 30th. So we'll be back in 2 weeks with DC's Stargirl 3.12 "Chapter Twelve: The Last Will and Testament of Sylvester Pemberton"

[pussy-ache]

my therapist wants to talk about me going back to work this week and i just literally want to fire her every fucking week just so i’m left the fuck a l o n e

#like LEAVE ME ALONE #just fucking leave! me! alone! #she’s like ‘’you keep saying you’re having a breakdown but that has to end sometime’’ oh really cindy? does it? really? ya don’t fucking say #like i am more than aware of all the time i am wasting and have wasted battling depression for almost TWELVE YEARS NOW #i think i know i’m wasting time and don’t need to actually be reminded of it thanks #also i really just want nothing to do with medicine (even just as a fucking receptionist) just yet #i don’t want to wear a mask at work anymore. i want to go back to work when we are no longer expected to be masked indoors #fucking sue me i guess since that’s such an awful irresponsible desire #my job is 100% patient forward i interact with them in person and often am the one physically helping them (even though i shouldn’t) #i want to be able to BE with patients and not feel like they are a danger to me or i to them just by being right next to them #i want to be able to help people out of wheelchairs again and hold their hands while they get labs drawn when they’re afraid of blood #and that’s just apparently never going to be a thing again for what i’ve chosen to do #who h means i have no idea what the fuck to do! LEAVE ME ALONE #and i probably never should have fucking quit my first job to begin with. let ne wallow in my regret thanks #like at the end of the day my circumstances allow me to take as much goddamn fucking time as i need #so i will do just that and if that means i get another job and quit after six months AND DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN NEXT YEAR then so be it #maybe i’m doomed to only working a job for 6-8 months and then having to take 6 months off battling depression #she can fuck off at this point. i’m so closed to firing her after talking to her every week for the past 6 ALMOST 7 YEARS NOW #i get what her role is. i get that she’s supposed to challenge me but at this point she’s literally putting me in a position #where i am starting to NOT feel comfortable giving her my time #like she needs to stop pushing me before she finds herself free every wednesday at 3:15 until she picks up a new patient

[oceanfae]

ya’ll pissin me off. don’t drag the structural beauty of the cinderella remake dress just to tout feminist ideals of going corset-less in the belle remake dress. wearing a corset didn’t make cinderella any less than who she was, and that dress was a work of fucking art that costumers aspire to achieve. i’m talking yumissima and steel, 250 meters of fabric and crystals motherfucker. its a fucking juxtaposition of itself, a metaphorical match to cinderella’s personality.  i’m sure the belle one is very pretty in motion, which is what the look was tailored for,  but you put hands on both you’ll see which one is higher quality

#for that matter the costuming in cinderella was impeccable #fight me motherfucker #belle rides a horse #oh guess fucking what so does cindy #why pit one against the other #its ridic #eat my ass #cinderella #belle #costuming #dress #the great belle debate

[thetonethetollandthethunder]

Scythe chapter 16-20!!

Ayy we’re backk!! Let’s just get started shall we?

Chapter 16!!

-oh god the elegy—

-“Could you imagine me as a teenager?” OH YES I CAN OHOHO

-This also shows how much power scythes and especially Goddard has

-And also shows how bad of a scythe Goddard is as well

-Scythe Curie makes a good point that also relates to the toll, in which it doesn’t matter if they kill Goddard or anyone like him because another with the same ideology will always come along without fail

-this chapter didn’t have much but it IS good so ykyk

Chapter 17!!

-OHHH ITS THE MOMENT THAT EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS OVER!! SCYTHE FARADAY IS D-D-DEAD or is he? :) :)

-Rowan instinctively trying to protect Citra!!!

-it makes sense for most disabilities to be nonexistent but that doesn’t mean I have to like it :/ like idk why the way it’s done is just :// especially as a disabled person myself

-The way the describe Faraday’d death is already suspicious if you already know he isn’t dead but when you’re first reading it, it does make sense!

-OH AND THE SEPARATE TRAININGS BEGINS!!!

-“If I ever take on an apprentice it will be for a different reason entirely.” OHOHO I KNOW I KNOWWWW

-Again not much to say BUT still rlly good!!

Chapter 18!!!

-Part 3 begins!!

-SCYTHE CURIE!!

-Again I always forget the names of these places, falling water is a very pretty name!!

-Citra being angry about Faraday’s death OUGH, she���s rlly going through 5 stages of grieve style

-Could you imagine ppl in the future calling our decor and shit old fashioned? Bizarre

-I love how they make Curie instantly charming and likable with only a few scenes, good writing man!!

-What hobbies would other scythes have? I wonder…

-Fun fact, i cannot drive, tried to learn and crashed the car, oh how I wish driving wasn’t necessary like in scythe

-Giving us little notes about the comfort scythes can give

-We hear a lot about being stagnant in the Scythe universe, and like, yeah, if you were in this utopia wouldn’t you grow stagnant even quicker than most? You have nothing to do literally

-You can really feel how observant Curie is, she noticed the small details

-Jesus even Curie’s yelling scared ME and I already knew what was gonna happen! She’s rlly intimidating—

-Gotta uphold your image!!

-“Another Scythe might have exacted a punishment far worse.” *COUGH COUGH GODDARD*

-Again shit names!! Barton Breen??? What??

-20 kids,, Jesus,,

-You can Curie’s own version of compassion, it’s different from Faradays yet still wonderful

-She did find her own way of gleaning!!

-Again FUCK Goddard!!

-I do wonder what would happen if Citra was trained by Goddard instead of Rowan…

-“Immortality has turned us all into cartoons.” GOD THAT LINEE

-Amazing chapter!! Told a LOT abt Curie!!!

CHAPTER 19!!!!

-Oo!! I thought this moment happened in Thunderhead but I misremembered!!

-Tho I THINK something similar happens??? Idk maybe my memory is fuckin with me ushejdj

-ALSO DAMN CITRA!! Pushin girls in front of TRUCKS holy fuck!!!

-Hate the eating descriptions!!

-TELL THE MOTHER YOU TWO!!! LIKE CMON??

-Cindy lmaoo, whenever someone whitewashes Citra im gonna call it Cindy instead <3 spite

-“err on the side of respect.” LMAO love that line

-RONDA ROADKILL IM DYINGGGGGG and so did she! (Temporarily but yk)

-“Can i throw you under a truck some other time?” She’s a busy person! I’d totally throw Citra under a truck! Would be fun!

-Morals change when theres little consequences, Citra would never even CONSIDER pushing Ronda in the mortal age, but since people can just come back it doesn’t seem like such a bad thing, it also shows how the concept of empathy and morality has changed in this society

-“the cloud” like icloud! Guess apple won in this world!

-“The machine had a purer soul than any human” NO IT DOESNT IVE SEEN AI ART YOU CANT FOOL ME!!!

-FUCK YOU SCYTHE GODDARD!!!

-OO TIME FOR CITRA TO INVESTIGATE!! I remember LOVING this plot so!!!!

Chapter 20!!

-Rowan finally!!! I missed you!!!!!

-He doesn’t wanna kill Citra!!! The beginning of his devotion to her UGHHH

-god hes only 17, I think we forgot how young these characters are, they really are just kids being pushed into this horrible situation god,,,

-“His was a life without substance, and now it would end.” God and here we see Rowan’s iconic self deprecating “emo” moments, people make fun of these scenes a lot but I fucking love em, it really contrasts Rowan and Citra. Citra has people who love and care about her, Rowan doesn’t, he knows that (in this moment) if he died no one would really care or remember him, so when he finds Citra, someone who does care about him and would care if he died, he clings to it. I mean when you’re that neglected and want SOMEONE to care even a little about you, wouldn’t you do the same thing?

-He already wants to change things!! And he will!! He will change a lot, though not as much as his girlfriend!!

-VOLTA!!

-“So is there a reason why you choose your robes to be the color of piss?” HA one of my favorite lines!!

-“the Change” god their ideology—, the fact they’re all thinking that they’re changing things for the better really shows how convincing of a man Goddard is, GOD i hate him!!!

-Ans here we have Goddard’s MANY parties

-my sensory issues would hate this

-I accidentally spelled Goddard’s name as Goodard which…Isn’t that so Ironic?

-“Bimbotech” Neal I’m BEGGING you to stop

-“Rowan wondered if the man had a diamond-studded bathing suit in his waredrobe as well.” He would because he’s a vain prick!!

-HES UNDERAGE STOP GIVING HIM ALCOHOL!! *Looking at you RAND especially ya creep—*

-“He was lucky if they even remembered to get him a gift” rowans parents man,,, He was really fucking neglected man it’s so awful, and the fact he still cares about them despite that GODDD

-See how goddard bend the rules? See how he twists them to make them fit what HE wants? Yeah, he’s gonna do that a lot; again, fuck you Goddard

-ESME!!! Shes backk!! And he’s right! She’ll be important!!

-GOD this is a good chapter, rowan my beloved!!

And that’s it!!! Next time will be chapters 21-25!! We’re going so fast aren’t we?

CINDY BERMAN X FEM READER SMUT

Fear street 1978

Summery- Cindy Berman never thought she would be interested in girls but when she notices you everything changes

Let’s pretend that witch stuff never happens

Warnings- language, smut, oral (f receiving), fingering, scissoring, cheating?, the ending is very unnecessarily long

Italics are the reader's thoughts

-

"Hey Y/n, don't go lookin at my girlfriend you dyke." Some guy from Sunnyvale says as he wraps his arm around the girl. You roll yours eyes at them and turned back to your drawing.

Being a lesbian in this time was most definitely frowned upon. Especially with a whole bunch of snotty, hateful teenagers in one spot with just as horrible adults.

"Assholes, why cant they just go on with their day and go fuck somewhere." Says Ziggy as she plops right next to you. You slammed the drawing book closed and she looked at you weirdly.

"Aren't you and whats his face messing around?" You tease her. Ziggy rolled her eyes.

"His name is Nick." She says and looked out to see everyone doing their own thing until her eyes fell on her sister, Cindy Berman. Cindy was glaring at her sister and you. "I think my sister has a thing for you." You scoff before looking up at Cindy who immediately look at the ground and walked away quickly.

"Ya right, your sister has been fooling around with that Tom guy, I caught them making out and groping each other once, it was disgusting." You say with a slight angry tone and rolled your eyes at the flash back. Ziggy looked at you and smirked.

"You sound jealous."

"Im not jealous."

"Sure y/n, sure."

Ziggy stood up and walked away leaving you sitting there. You opened the book again and admired it. A picture of Cindy Berman smiling in the cafeteria.

-

You ate the disgusting sandwiches with clearly some expired fruit when a blur of pink shorts passed in front of you. You looked up and saw Cindy smiling at you.

"Uh hey Cindy." You say and amile awkwardly and she chuckled.

"Hey Y/n, I need your help." She says and you nod.

"Shoot."

"Um, they asked me to clean the cafeteria with Alice and Arnie and I was wondering if you wanted to help me?" She asks and you cock your head to the side a little.

"Shouldn't your boyfriend be the one to help you with this?" You ask but she shook her head.

"Uh no, Tommy and me aren't going so well." She says and you sit up straight, quite happy at the news.

Hell ya some time with her with nobody else around, besides Alice and Arnie but they are probably going to be having sex the whole time.

"Sure ok, ill be here." She smiled and grabbed your hand making your body warm up and butterflies fly in your stomach.

"Ok after dinner tonight ok, thank you." She says and runs off, probably to go do some other good deed for this stupid camp.

"Was my sister just over here?" Ziggy asks behind you and you nodded.

"Ya she was asking me to stay tonight after dinner to help her clean this place."

"Whoah you hate cleaning, and all of a sudden she-."

"Ok Ziggy i just want to spend time with her, get to know her." You said and stood up taking your tray with you.

-

You walked to the cafeteria doors and Cindy immediately burst through.

"Y/n glad you could make it, um if you could help me scrub the kitchen and um Alice and Arnie can you both make sure the polls are rid of gum and under the tables." Cindy gives out orders to you all and you immediately start getting nervous.

In the kitchen... alone with the girl you like... what could go wrong?

Cindy had all the cleaning supplies in the kitchen already and she handed you a sponge.

"You bossy you know that right." You say and she huffs.

"A lot of people say that, its true I guess, I just like to feel like i have some control especially with having Ziggy as a sister, she thinks she can get away with everything." She says and starts preparing the mixture if soap and water.

"Oh yes she does." You say and smile at her.

"Oh you would know that since you two are what dating or...?" She asks and you shake your head

"No no just friends, besides I already have my eyes set on someone." You say and dip the sponge in the water and ring it out. Cindy huffs again and dipped her sponge in.

"Who might that be?" She asks nicely even though she's eating jealousy right now. She never thought she would be interested in girls, its frowned upon but when she saw you should couldn't stop thinking about you.

"Not sure i want to say."

"Oh come on, who's the lucky girl to have your eyes on her." She says and winks.

"Not sure she would be lucky." You mumbled.

"Well i know i would be, if you looked at me the way you look at all these girls." She blushed and you looked away feeling your body heat up again.

-

It was quiet between the two of you. You cleaned the kitchen top to bottom, sneaking glances at Cindy as well. You just finished scrubbing the sink when you started hearing loud moans and groans. You and Cindy looked at eachother in shock before bursting out laughing.

"Of course they would go at it, they always are." You say and she nods.

"Its everyday practically."

Your laughter calmed down and looked at her before blurting out a question.

"Have you ever had sex before?" Cindy looked at you with her blue eyes before shaking her head.

"No im waiting, Tommy wants to but not me."

"Oh good for you."

"Ya i guess, have you, ya know?" You laugh and shake your head.

"Well not with a guy." Cindy looked like she wanted to ask a question but looked like she couldn't find the words. You dropped your sponge and leaned on the steel counter to look at her directly.

"Ask Cindy."

"Uh ok, how did you know you liked girls? Like truly liked them." You smiled awkwardly before sighing.

"Lots of girl on girl porn that i bought and watched once my parents went to sleep, and um back at home I made out with a girl and more, who wasn't hateful."

"Wow I've only done one of those things, and im really confused, so part of the reason i brought you here is one i wanted to get to know you better and two i wanted to know if you could help me figure myself out." She played with her hands out of nervousness and you were froze.

She wants me to help her, how? Like kiss her or something... please let it be kissing her, or more.

Cindy noticed you weren't saying anything and immediately started shaking her hands and head.

"But only if you want i don't want to make you uncomfortable asking you this." You shook your head as well.

"No its okay, i just need to know if you really want me to help you."

It was clear you both were nervous, but you swallowed it down and took a few step forward to stand in front of her. Cindy stood up straight and her eyes widened.

"Im going to kiss you, ok?" Cindy nodded and licked her lips. "Okay." You smiled and grabbed her hand and another hand gripped her waist softly. You pulled her in making her gasp. You leaned your head in slowly and so did she. Your lips touched and it deepened.

Her hands went up to your back and pushed into her body hard and you pulled away making her whimper.

"Calm down Cindy." You try to catch your breath when she kisses you again.

"I want more." She breathes out and you looked at her face for any sign that she was joking.

She wasn't.

"Cindy what about Tommy your basically already cheating on him." You say but she smiled and shakes her head.

"I like you and i want to be with you."

Your heart was beating quickly, this was something you wanted but you didn't want a sweet girl like Cindy to get hated on like you.

"I like you too but Cindy i don't want you to get the things said about me said to you."

"It wont matter as long as im with you."

You grabbed her face softly and kissed her. You started pushing her into the counter, leaning over her. Your hands went under her shirt caressing her soft skin and she broke the kiss to kiss down your neck. You moaned when she started sucking softly on your skin.

"Y-you sure you haven't done this before." You say and pull back to take your shirt off. Cindy slowly pulled her shirt off before shying away.

"Don't do that baby your gorgeous." You tell her and started playing with her bra straps. "Can you take your bra off." She nodded and slides the straps off her shoulder and took it off. Her boobs fell perfectly and your mouth dried at the sight.

You wrapped you hands around her waist again and kissed down her neck. You then wrapped your lips around her bud making Cindy gasp at the sensation.

"Oh god that feels s-so good." She moaned out and grabbed your hair. You fondled with her other boob before switching. Cindy wouldn't stop moaning but you didn't care, they were so sweet.

"Want to finish getting underdressed?" You ask her pulling away and she nods quickly, immediately taking of her shoes, socks and shorts leaving her in her panties. You were in the same condition and you smirked.

You grabbed your clothes and spread them everywhere on the ground for later. You knelled down in front of Cindy and grabbed her leg and placed it over your shoulder. You kissed her thighs and one of your hands went to her covered pussy. You dragged you finger across making her jerk and you chuckled.

"Your so wet right now." You say and push her panties to the side and you licked up her slit making her shudder a moan. "And taste so good." With your index finger you teased her entrance making her hips buck up and she groaned in frustration.

"No teasing." She says. "Just push it in, I'll be fine." You licked her pussy and with one hand you started rub her clit as you pushed in a finger. "Oh god."

Your other hand made it way down your body into your panties and you felt around.

"Im so wet baby, thats what your doing to me." Cindy started to push her hips down on you finger and you pulled away but left your finger slowly thrusting inside of her.

"Calm down, you so eager." You say a kiss her lower stomach.

"Stop talking and fucking continue." She demands but a thought runs through your head and pull your finger out of her making her hips buck up to your face at the loss.

"Oh the good girl just cussed, who knew i was the one to get you to do that." You laugh and Cindy glares at you before grabbing your head and pushing it against her pussy. You open you mouth and start devouring her, Cindys grip on your head never faltered as she slowly started falling apart.

"Ke-eep going, i-think i-im going to c-cum." She breathes out and started thrusting her hips back and fourth. You hummed and the vibrations sent her over the edge. Her body jerked and you looked up to her face as she was riding out her high. You licked her up more making her push your head away.

"How do you feel?" You ask her and placed her leg on the ground and her legs wobbled to sit dow.

"I want to treat you now, and don't complain." She says and your eyes widen slightly in question.

"Okay." You say and move to lay down on your back on the clothes. Cindy crawled in between your legs and laid down on her stomach. She seemed unsure of what she was doing so you raised yourself onto your elbows to look at her.

"Hey just lick, slowly maybe suck some and if you want use your-." You immediately flopped down as your felt her tongue lick and flatten on your pussy. Your hands weaved themselves into her hair tugging softly everytime she hit a good spot. "Y-our really g-good at this." Your breathed out just before she started softly sucking. She pulled away and licked her lips

"I watched you." She says and goes right back down. You hips were moving up and down slowly and your breathing picked up. Your stomach tightened and Cindy must have caught on that you were reaching your high because she started teasing you with a finger. Your thighs shook as your orgasam took over.

As you relaxed Cindy maneuvered her self to lay her head on your chest and her body to the side of yours.

"Hey can we... can we, do the thing where the two girl join eachother uh, down there, only if your not to tired." She says and kisses your neck. You immediately sit up and crawl over her, she bends her knees but you shake your head.

"Relax, let me do all the work." You say and grab her right leg and swing it over your hips and push on her left to tell her to straighten it out. You positioned yourself over her and slowly started grinding on her. Cindy tried to gain more friction but as your clits passed along eachother she let you. You started moving your hips back and fourth harder and faster.

The room was filled with your pants and moans. Cindy looked beautiful under you, her hair was splayed out on the floor and her moans were so pretty.

"You look so pretty under me." You say and grab her boob and pinch her buds making her whimper.

You were getting closer to the end. Cindy started moving her hips to match with you and she came. You felt her throbbing and your shut your eyes tightly as your high took over you once again. You opened your eyes and looked at Cindy in her bliss. You smashed you lips against hers and untangled your legs.

"How was it?" You asked and went to your side to look at her.

"Im breaking up with Tommy and im going to be with you." She says and lifted her head to peck your lips. You grabbed your clothes and grabbed Cindys and handed it to her.

"Thanks." She mumbled and slid her bra and shirt on. Once you were dressed there wad some awkwardness in the air. You grab her hand and break the silence.

"I think i should do this properly, Cindy Berman will you be my girlfriend?" You ask.

She has to say yes, i mean i just had a sex with her.

"Yes, yes I'll be your girlfriend." She says and you smile, bring your hands up to her face and kissed her.

"Ill break up with Tommy the second i see him tomorrow." You nod happily.

Ya fuck you Tom

She put her hands on your hips and you licked her lips and she opened her mouth slightly enough to shove your tongue in your mouth.

You made out for a few minutes pulling away everytime you needed air when you heard some laughing.

"Cindy, didn't know you liked girls now." Says a feminine voice behind you. You pull away to see Alice and Arnie smirking and sharing a cigarette.

"What are you two doing?" You ask and they laugh.

"We were going to go but we heard some moans, and find you two lip locking." Says Arnie.

"Don't say shit please." Says Cindy and they look at her in shock.

"Oh she's cussing too." They tease, and you both roll your eyes. "Ok we wont but you cant ask us to do anything else for you Berman." Says Alice and Cindy huffs.

"Fine, but if you get in trouble don't go looking for me for help." You laughed behind Cindy and the other two glared at you.

"Such a badass."

a snippet | a monster in love | hero x villain

trigger warnings: daggers/blades, death, dead bodies, murder, mentions of alcohol, explosions, assassinations 

The hero looked down at the case file in disbelief, praying that this was a six-month-late April Fool’s joke. 

“You want me to do what?” 

“I want you,” their supervisor answered, ushering them back into the seat, “to seduce the villain.” 

“I know that,” the hero said, cross. “I just have the slight feeling we skipped a couple of steps here. Perhaps even a couple of staircases. Dare I say a few floors.” 

“Calm down.” 

“The first problem: we hate each other. How am I supposed to spend that much time around them when we can’t stand each other’s guts?” 

“You’ll be doing it as a civilian, not as a hero.” 

The hero blinked. “Oh, my God, you want me to reveal my civilian identity to this person?” 

“Not reveal,” the supervisor said carefully, “just meet up with the villain as a civilian, not as a hero.” 

“And where does it go from there, then?”

“Then, once you’re close enough to them, you bring them down. At least get us some information. Something worth the year you’ve got to put energy into it.” 

The hero shook their head, their tone bitter. “I don’t know if you’ve been reading too many romance stories or something lately, chief. This is not going to work.”

“Well, it’s direct orders, so it had better.” 

“Are they running out of ideas up there?” The hero tilted their head. The supervisor shrugged. 

“Hell if I know. Just carry out your mission, will you?” 

The hero sighed as they took the file, muttering under their breath as they walked out of the room. “This is not going to work.”

—

It had very much worked, to both the hero’s surprise and dismay. 

A year later and the villain was smiling at them over a glass of red wine, completely unawares as to the fact that they were the hero. They bought the hero’s story that their name was Quinn, and that they worked in the government with confidential information. They thought the hero’s parents lived four cities over, and the hero had to say that their parents were on a three-month-long cruise to avoid the villain meeting them. They believed the hero had a brother, Alex, and a sister, Robin. They believed the hero was in love with them. 

And now here they were, a year later, celebrating a one-year anniversary as a couple. The hero frequently wondered whether this was a fever dream. 

“You know,” the villain mused, swirling the wine around in their glass, “it’s just a miracle that I decided to go out that night, and that I even had the courage to ask you if you wanted a drink.” 

The hero, too, had learned a lot about the villain. They had learned through late-night walks that the villain frequented the east end of town, which they had relayed to their team some time later, and the villain’s base had been wiretapped and stuffed with cameras. They knew that the villain worked a lot with a scientist on the pretext of longstanding friendship after they had both majored in chemistry. In reality, they were workshopping drugs designed to make the consumer tell the truth. The villain had been working on a fucking truth serum. They discovered that the villain was well-acquainted and worked frequently with a doctor who had a history of having what might politely be classified as bad ethics. 

The villain was a monster. 

And they were totally, utterly, in love with “Quinn.”

“Yeah,” the hero laughed, forcing the nervousness out of their voice. “I’m so lucky to have met you. Really.” 

The villain smiled, and leaned forward, kissing them on the cheek. The hero giggled and blushed. 

The food came and the villain spoon-fed them some soup. They fed the villain a bite of their salmon. They paid the bill—the villain always tipped well, the hero had noted—and then they left, the villain’s arm wrapped around their waist. 

“Let’s go home, hmm?” The villain nipped at the hero’s ear. The hero nodded with a smile. 

They walked down the sidewalk, the stars above them gleaming, blinking in and out of existence when they passed streetlights. The hero’s heart was pounding. One year, and it was about to be over and done. 

They said hello to the doorman at the first floor of their apartment building. They walked to the apartment that they had shared for four months now. The villain unlocked the door, and walked inside. 

This was it. 

The hero stepped inside, closed the door and spun the villain against the wall. They might have chuckled had the point of the dagger that the hero had worn all night at their ribs not been aimed right at their heart. 

“One move, and you’re a goner.” 

“Quinn?” The villain’s voice was frozen as they watched the hero’s features, eyes steely and face expressionless. 

“You’re a goddamn monster. The truth serum? Doctor Brookes? The plans to blow up the apartment building because your ex lived there? The plans to assassinate your parents because they begged you not to do what you’re doing?” The hero shook their head. “I knew you were terrible. I didn’t think it was this bad.” 

The villain’s eyes narrowed. “Who are you?” 

“Take a guess,” the hero answered. 

“Hero.” 

The hero nodded. They were prepared for scathing words or a proclamation of a painfully slow death. 

“So it was a lie, then.” The villain exhaled. “Every hour. It was all just—leading up to this. You didn’t mean any of it. Any of the ‘I love you’s or the ‘I’m so glad I met you’s or the ‘You made my day better.’ You wanted to get close to me, and learn all my secrets. And then you wanted to kill me.

Is that why my base was wiretapped when I got back to it three weeks after our late-night walk? Is that why Cindy suddenly got arrested for some trumped-up charge that they published in the news? Is that why Brookes got his license revoked and he’s waiting for his trial? 

I let it all slide,” they said hoarsely. “I thought that maybe you were... who you really are. I had some hope that even if you were, maybe there was a chance. A sliver of a chance.” There were tears, now. “But there never was, was there.” 

The hero shook their head mutely. They had definitely not been prepared for that.

“Everything was a trick.” 

They nodded. 

“Say it. One more time,” they asked. “It was a nice lie while it lasted. Let me believe it until I die.” 

The hero swallowed, adjusting the angle of the dagger. “I love you.” 

The blade slide home. 

The villain had been a monster. But they had been a monster in love. 

Looking silently down at the dead body on the floor of the apartment, the hero wondered if it really was a comfort or not to know that the love was a lie just before they had died.

Guess who's still liveblogging Disco Elysium? (Spoilers)

Played through Day 4/Thursday today.

Feel like I got some things done. I got my gun back from The Pigs, I'm now fully in both Evrart and Joyce's confidences (well, I think... more on that in a sec), AND I reported Victor Mejean's death to his wife.

Actually, I'm a bit miffed about that. I made the mistake of talking to her before poking around and, although the conversation went really well, now I can't get back in there to investigate. Harrumph.

I was trying to use Rhetoric to open the shipping container near Evrart's office. He alluded to there being something interesting in there and there's a reason I'm able to keep messing with it. Kim asked me why I'm talking to it and one of the options was "Because using my body wasn't an option!" which it literally wasn't. I dunno, I feel on the hunt for little wall-breaks like that now, after the reflections in the previous post.

Cuno's whole scene re: the locusts... something is going on with that kid, with the whole "I made myself Cuno, I can make myself something else" bit. But I can't yet pass the check to find out what. At first it seemed like Cunoesse was just kind of following him, but after her little display... I'm not sure what her deal is either.

Joyce had a LOT of fucking interesting things to say. It was almost kind of too much to digest. But the two bits that have my ears perked are 1) Revachol being a place where all the ideologies converge to "resolve" history, and 2) the entire concept of "the pale." Both of those things reinforce the possibility that this is some kind of... what? Game? (Which it literally is, so there's that.) Computer simulation? Something like that. I'm not POSITIVE that's what's going on, but I feel strongly (at least for now) that something like that is an element of it. But she also said some people think of it as the concentrated past or something, and I’m not sure what to make of that part. It’s something working in layers.

Anyway, there's something about Joyce. She seems really cooperative and forthcoming, but I can't shake the feeling there's something she's not telling me.

I think it was when I was talking to her that I passed an Espirit du Corps check, where some people were talking about Harry and how he lost his mind. What is the Valley of the Dogs? What did they mean "we always do?"

I dunno, I have more information now, but I don't feel like I've significantly advanced any of the three major mysteries (reality, Harry, the murder). It's clear the game still has some stuff in store, though. I like the check in the window behind Travis that currently has a debuff: "-12: it's not time yet." Like, ooh, what's that gonna be?

Also, Joyce was giving me a history/economics lesson and said something like "the years '08 to '19 were hell" and like... yeah, okay. Those weren't chosen randomly, were they?

I feel like I'm sort of out of clear leads at this point. I wanna advance Soona's project, but I cannot figure out how to get through to Egghead. I have tried every branching dialogue option I could. He says "we're close" but it doesn't feel like it. But I guess we'll see what new developments the new day brings.

Also, what's with the two "cops" that just showed up in the Whirling? Like, that's (the latest in a weird series of incidences which seem to establish) a similarity between Harry and the dead colonel--two companions, a man and a woman. I know at least the male mercenary is someone else--the scab guy, I talked to him (that was fun), but I don't know who exactly they are and it feels like there's some intentional parallelism there.

Oh, and what role does Cindy have to play in this yet? Pissf****t and Fuck the World appeared, so that leads me to believe the Skulls are going to factor into this somehow in the coming days. I guess we'll see.

Onward and forward, I suppose.
