Fluent Freshman - 01
Just thinking about some poor Palmetto Freshman who, due to the nature of the Foxes, is super quiet and blends into the background. This poor freshman is a foreign language major (forcing himself to have to talk to people and he likes languages) and he knows a couple languages already!
He hasn’t mentioned his major so no one knows but its fine there will be time to make friends and- did Captain Neil just call the scary goalie милый (Darling)? Their tones give away nothing but the goalie with all the knives responded by calling his weirdly intense captain кролик (Bunny).
He stares at them but Andrew threatens to cut him if he keeps looking (he thinks its about Neil’s scars) and now he has officially missed the chance to mention that he is fluent in Russian.
Cue being subjected to the sappiest shit on the entire planet because Andrew and Neil are fucking extra with the shit they say when no one can listen in. So now begins the long play of trying not to let on that he knows because that would be so embarrassing! So awkward! He masters the art of the poker face by the Fall Banquet. He refuses to sit in hearing distance of the two of them on the bus because last time he listened to Andrew describe in excruciating detail what he was going to do to Neil if Neil let him when they got back to the dorm. (He couldn’t get up and walk away! That’d be suspicious!)
This is his hell but at least he made friends with the other freshmen when he accidentally said “No I think Andrew likes Captain Neil plenty.” Because he was trying not to process the absolutely filthy things Andrew was saying to Neil in what looked like a heated argument.
The only person who knows is Nicky because Nicky came up and asked if he was homophobic (power walking away from Neil and Andrew when Neil sat in Andrew’s lap for movie night because he has LEARNED that lesson) and he panicked because HE IS NOT HOMOPHOBIC and confessed that he is fluent in Russian.
Nicky, wisely, promises to take this information to his grave. The freshman weeps in gratitude.

"Hey! I wouldn't use that vending machine if I were you!" No sooner did the kid's warning come, an army of (rather smelly) green mollusk like monsters flooded out of the vending machine in droves. It was quite comical that such a small vending machine held so many of these gross monsters.
"...Well, I tried. Been there, done that." Thankfully, most digimon were rather tame and if anything, it was just the environment itself that was more hazardous if anything. "I think I saw a waypoint to Odaiba if the real world is more your style."

DUEÑOS DEL PARAÍSO liveblogging - ep. 01 "Ignacio viola a Anastasia" - pt.1
With a title like that, i wonder where we're going /s
*DISCLAIMER* spoilers obviously (not that I think anyone actually cares, but anyway). TW for general violence, mature content etc etc IT'S A TELENOVELA ABOUT NARCOS, ofc it's not PG rated.
First thing first, the opening scene sets the tone: the lead (Anastasia) is underwater... freeing herself from ties...
and yes, there's a monologue:
"This is the world where I had to be born. I'm forced to survive where there's neither good nor bad, neither heroes nor villains. Here, whoever falters, loses. And I... I'm going to win."
BOOM! Bien dicho, Anastasia. The fake plants look fake though.
Cut to: a chopper. I repeat, a CHOPPER.
Unbelievable: they had the production money for a chopper but they couldn't get real-looking plants. (oh yeah, did I tell you it's set in the 1970's? An additional level of awesome, if you ask me).
Anyway. Enter the Bad Guys:
Are they the Federales, or what? IDK, but they've got big guns, and they're after Nataniel Cardona.
Meanwhile, Nataniel Cardona is throwing a big birthday party for his wife Anastasia.
There are flower arrangements! There's champagne! There's a mariachi band! A dude in all-black (Renato) is directing the security! Nataniel Cardona is obviously a drug lord.
I'm not saying it because he's loaded, or 'cause he's married to a much younger woman; I'm saying it 'cause he looks like this:
the three-piece white suit is quite dapper, let's give him that.
Anastasia is in white too. She's beautiful and beaming and everyone is having a good time. UNTIL. A mysterious woman appears:
Cue: ominous sound effect!! Murderous intent sparks from Anastasia's eyes!! She loses her shit, yells "I DON'T KNOW THIS WOMAN!!" and storms off. Who might she be?!
Ah yes, of course: she's her mother.
But Nataniel convinces Anastasia to at least talk to her estranged mom, Irene, because he's a good husband (drug lord thing aside).
Anastasia is taking NO SHIT though. How dare Irene show up after 20 years? Isn't she ashamed that she used to prostitute herself when Anastasia was a child? That she brought strangers into their home?
Something terrible happened then. I'm not gonna spell it out, but use your imagination. And she's, understandably, PISSED OFF.
if she was a snake she'd be spitting venom.
But joy is restored when Nataniel gifts her Cupo de Nieve: a fucking WHITE HORSE. What a rollercoaster!
It's short lived though: the Bad Guys are HERE!
(Nataniel calls frantically for Renato. Where the fuck are you, Renato? How did you miss the chopper, Renato? You kinda suck at your job, Renato.)
ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. The Bad Guys are shooting EVERYONE indiscriminately, men women and children (mmh I don't think they're the Federales). The mariachi band scatters. A guest falls dead into the garden's pond. A waiter gets yeeted onto the birthday cake. IT'S ABSOLUTE MADNESS.
a blur of falling corpses and exploding cake.
Nataniel's henchmen manage to take him out of there, while Renato protects Anastasia. Renato, we know where your priorities lie.
Also, he makes eye contact with the Main Bad Guy.
now kiss
Calling it now, they're gonna meet again.
Renato and Anastasia get to the pier (who doesn't have a pier?) where Nataniel is hopping onboard of his motorboat (who doesn't have a motorboat?)
...and I shit you not, he leaves WITHOUT HER.
"Señora, I'm not going to let anything happen to you". Nataniel, dude. You might as well have put her into his bed.
End of part 1 because, guys, this was only TWELVE MINUTES of it. The episode is 42 min long.
(one question remains still unaswered: what's been of Cupo de Nieve??)

Even just counting the time she spent in the Boiling Isles, it felt like a whole other lifetime since Eda had been able to use her own magic. Glyphs and potions were still viable options, and of course her fairly recent growth in regards to her curse had almost made it like its own kind of magic, but there had still been something immensely liberating about being able to bend the elements to her every whim, appear before others where there was only air a moment earlier, a resplendent being of crackling energy and insurmountable will. Naturally, her power and skill with sorcery had been a source of immense pride for her- one does not call themselves “the greatest witch who ever lived” in humility, after all.
Maybe it was that sense of longing, missing what had once been, that led to her freezing up at the sight of the robed figure. The vibe of their magic was much different than her own, but the power they wielded in fighting off the CPNs could not be understated. It was seeing them turn around to see her that got her to jostle out of her entranced state- just in time to catch a CPN leaping at her. She kicked it right out of the way before diving in to finish it off. Then her attention drew back to the other.
“Alright, taking a picture next time- that was too close. Pretty serious magic you’ve got there, though! Could still give a hand even if you probably don’t need one...”
@redlichbluelich liked x for a Subsistence pt 2 starter call!
