OLD MAN YAOI BRACKET ROUND 1

Propaganda:

Bob Zanotto/Helmut Fullbear:

THEY LITERALLY MADE MR CRY THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED THE GAME. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND THEY FINALLY GET TO BE HAPPY TOGETHER. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME.

they are married in canon and are epic and amazing. they had sad canon events where bob thought helmut was dead for like 30 years or something but helmut WASN'T dead his brain was still alive and they are reunited in the game first by way of stealing an evil dictator's body and then later on they put helmut's brain in a ball as a temporary fix while they go out to find his body which has been frozen in ice. the game forces you to walk through bob's memory of saying his vows at their wedding ceremony and it's seriously some of the most romantic and heartwarming shit i've ever heard, especially "just when i thought i was turning to seed, you made me bloom again" like my god. i love them

they're gay and old as hell!!!! there's a level dedicated to their wedding!!!

Helmut is voiced by Jack Black and is currently a brain in a ball, and Bob knows him so well that the mental image of him in his drunken mind says things Bob KNOWS the real Helmut would never say. Also Helmut is temporarily in the body of a guy voiced by Elijah Wood-

Craig Cuttlefish/DJ Octavio:

well you see they used to be friends but were on opposite sides of the great turf war. cuttlefish gets a 14 year old to go stop octavios army. also they argue in splatoon 3 which is just part of the 100+ year divorce arc BUT AT THE FINAL BOSS IN THE JAPANESE VERSION THEY SHARE THE ICONIC LINE THAT CUES THE CALAMARI INKANTATION AND IN THE ENGLISH CUTTLEFISH TELLS OCTAVIO TO "HIT IT" AND START THE MUSIC AND MUSIC IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE SPLATOON UNIVERSE YAAAAA ik its grasping but its lovers to enemies

Literally I have seen so many people call this old man yaoi.

Old men divorce!!!

They're old men who made their divorce the problem of every young person in their lives <3. 100 years ago during the Great Turf War between inklings and octarians, Craig and Octavio were the chosen ambassadors of their respective species. They got along well, but unfortunately found themselves on opposite sides of the war. During one of the battles Craig shot Octavio in the heart. The inlkings won the war and the octarians were forced underground. For years afterward both men grew bitter towards each other, and eventually Octavio attacked the new Squidbeak Splatoon (a group of secret agents recruited by Craig). Octavio lost both times and got imprisoned in a giant snow globe (and Craig calls him cute). In the latest game Octavio got over his hatred for Inklings (Craig's species) and used his flying mech to help defeat the BBEG of the game. After the final fight, Craig said something to the effect of 'that old rascal turned out to be not so bad!'.

Alright ok hear me out! These two old men have fought in wars for their races against each other and have the craziest pathetic old man homoerotic tension ever. They like, went from at least respecting each other before the war and then they were forced to fight each other and then when Cuttlefish's side won, Octavio went underground like a pathetic lil wet cat and later on he kidnapped Cuttlefish because of game related reasons and both of them still have way too much homoerotic tension!!! And then Octavio gets owned and then in the second game Octavio decides that "Hey actually, lets kidnap Cuttlefish's granddaughter" and the old man isnt even there cause hes busy being a pathetic old man in the under-underground!!! And in the third game they go fron rival/enemies to reluctantly working together to save the world from actual extinction bc some durry bitch wants to cover it in fuzzy ooze and like, both of them have so much old man ship potential and just- theyre still pining for each other even after over a 100 years man,,,,

I personally headcanon Cap'n Cuttlefish as homophobic, but I see the ship a lot and think it's funny.

They’re both at least like 125 probably a bit older, they are so divorced, like peak lovers to enemies back to lovers, Cap’n Cuttlefish calls Octavio cute in Splatoon one immediately after you rescue him from Octavio kidnapping him? So dysfunctional, so gay, so old

They fought in the Great Turf War which was said to be over 100 years ago, Capn Cuttlefish was, well, a captain I believe (he had some sort of rank even if he wasn't a captain, like he led a battle that's singled out in the sunken scrolls of the first game). they act so divorced in the singleplayer mode like they cannot stop insulting each other specifically but octavio always comes back and like kidnaps or insults captain cuttlefish it's so. and when the great zapfish gets stolen in splatoon 3 captain cuttlefish is like "it's the octarians again i know it" like divorced behavior. also it wasn't this time and octavio gets super weird about it. maybe you should stop using children as props in your drama though.

my favorite war crime divorcees <3

They basically are friends to enemies to lovers. Both of them fought in a war that hurt DJ Octavio so bad he can’t become an inkling.

friends -> enemies -> lovers. what more is there to say

they are soooo divorced

they were so gay their breakup ended a war

Craig Cuttlefish got sucked dry by a bear

they got divorced but then they got remarried . they fuckinf hate eachother but they also make out sloppy style and i do not know how that works because neither of them have mouths in their swim form which they are both permanently stuck in. love wins but also loses at the same time with these fucking losers

they are sooo divorced omg. istg they were dating when they were younger and then war n shit happened and now theyre bitter exes who probably still make out sometimes. Makes it so much funnier that theyre old ass men (both over 100!) and Cuttlefish has grandkids

They were on opposite sides of a war and still fell in love

#im so sorry psychonauts fans but cuttletavio had the most submissions. so.#polls #round 1 #gay elders tourney #tournament poll #psychonauts #helmut fullbear #bob zanotto #splatoon #craig cuttlefish #dj octavio #cuttletavio

Kung Fu Panda 4-All the budget went to the animation (spoilers)

Hey all, its me, the guy who everyday make a tour around this site but almost never talk. How are ya?

Two days ago something arrived to the cinema's screens, something that me and everyone were waiting for since 2018, the fourth film and the begginig of the new kung fu panda triology.

You know? When I sat on that theather seat with my friends to see what Dreamworks had prepared for us, I told myself; "Maybe that post I made a while ago throwing shit at what seemed like Kfp 4 was going to be was a bit hard, I hope I can come out regretting what I said that time"

And as soon as the credits ended, it was clear to me, I dont regret a shit. Maybe it was a little exaggerated, compared to what a megamind fan would think about the terrible sequel they made, but still: the film is crappy and boring most of the time. But why?

I'm going to explain some points.

1- Po? Is that you?

I don't know you guys, but i don't think the panda we knew in the end of the third film is the same as this one. Seriously, he share more comparisons with the Po from the legend of awessonless than the one from the films, maybe its a personal thing but it feels that way. At least in the beggining of the film feel like that.

And I don't know what he was thinking about when he decided to follow a thief he doesn't know at all and who tried to steal in his own palace, and that suspiciously know who is the chameleon, whose were her plans, her past, where she lived, where exacly they had to pass through avoiding all the guard inside her home, why the others thiefs of the city hate her so much... With Po's experience with criminals this is like a chef throwing water on a pan with boiling oil, it's obvious what is going to happen.

2- Zheng- Female Nick Wilde but without charisma or half of his intelligence.

I knew it from the first moment I saw Zheng's desing, the people who know me can corroborate that; her facial expressions, her tone while she talk, her animal race, her position as thief, her final when she is part of the justice same as the protagonist... it's clearer than water I think.

Everyone could say this is forgivable if she's smart, but surprise, she's not. This character is just an absurd try of this company for """"conect with infant audience""""(I don't know in what sense, I supose for the cute design, idk). But the point is, the supposed objective of the hollywood companies is give the new generetions better things than we got at their age, but what I see is laziness for write a decent scrip only for take an advantage of a known IP and make easy money. Even the children have quality standars, this is not the dragon warrior and of course this is not kung fu panda.

And talking about the dragon warrior, having our deep and lovely Tigress with her magnific development or Tai Lung back from the spirit realm... why in the hell this character exists?! Oh yeah, for being trending topic in twitter for three days. Yay...

3- The furious five and Shifu, for us : our pretty boys, and for Dreamworks: living jokes.

What made Kung Fu Panda what it is, is not the fucking panda, it's them. They're the inspiration for Po, their allies, the royale representation of kung fu and the ones which everything started with.

Po's a comic relief, and his mission is show his development in part using his humor, but the humor in this film barely works because of the lazy script. Something that even the talented Jack Black himself can't fix, beacuse his only role there is dublin his character, unlike the rest of the residents of the Jade Palace except Dustin Hoffman.

Seth Rogen (Mantis) himself even said that he wasn't even contact by Dreamworks in the first place, only for make a scream in the credits, that's sad beacause he really wanted to see Mantis on the screen. And I know and I understand that the five are expensive, but cmon, they could just simply change the voice actors and offset it with a good script but that's not the case of course. Their role in the film is being a counter for Po's constant jokes, for not to saturate the spectator with jokes, now that's not in there anymore, thank you Dreamworks.

4-The chameleoooohhn and her "motivation".

I can't say much, basically because out of her design she's nonsense. She says that because of her size, she was reyected for being a kung fu warrior.

Yeah of course but only one little thing, what about Shifu? Viper, a warrior without tips? Mantis, literally a dawn insect? Master Oogway, a TURTLE? The masters goose? C'mon even there's a fucking master chicken! Don't talk shit chameleon!

Her importance for the plot? Its almost a lie, the others villains had links to important characters; Tai Lung (with his link to Shifu's past), Shen (with his link to Po's past) or Kai (with his link to Oogway's past), all of them related to important characters. And her? To zheng's past and present I guess? But again, anyone know this character. She's like a villain from a Disney show, you know the type of villain who say a lot of things but at the end, she don't support nothing to the lore.

And her personality is like a mix of all the previous villains, and this sounds good right? HAHAH nope. Do you remember when as a child you mixed all the plasticines of all the colors to create the final color and you ended up with a color similar to poop? well that's exacly how her personality feels like.

5- Po's dads; the only reason they're there is because they ran out of characters to make the film.

The tittle itself tell everything, they don't do anything for the script in all the film, and their objective could be done since the start.

The script of the film except for the final looks like a draft which they didn't know how to complete, everyone who watch it can see it perfecly. The animation, the music and the backgrounds are the only things notable here.

6- Tai Lung and the cheapness nostalgia.

Fan service is not necesarry bad, above all if is used in a good way, they sold us Tai Lung as a miracle but his importance for the plot feels just like a Stan Lee cameo, I like Tai Lung I can say that. But this is too weak, Shen and Kai are only characters in the background who don't do nothing except being defeated or make facial expressions (I don't even joke that Shen would show respect to Po considering what we saw in the second movie, and Kai wasn't supposed to be destroyed as a spirit, what the hell is he doing here again? *sign* I'll to stop trying to make sense of this).

By the way, anyone else think that the dragon warrior role is understimated? I mean Shifu obligated Po to transfers the role to another one just because yes, i mean he only has been the dragon warrior for less than 5 years and now they want to replace him with a random. Everything just for at the end, he choosed a thief with at least 30 crimes registred and who was a traitor during the 75% of the movie.

7- The """""""""humor"""""""", except they forgot the parts where I must to laugh.

Seeing nonsense hits only beacuse yes stopped of being funny a long time ago, and no, I don't want to talk about the bunnies of the portrait because I would get sick. I had to go to the cinema drunk to endure the filler that the movie had, no joke, it was the only way to laugh at those jokes.

So I think about applying the same method as in any movie with bad jokes, ignoring the jokes. I tried to do the same thing but with the pace that the film managed, such a thing was impossible, the pace of the movie seems to be made for Tiktoker children with attention deficit. From the chaos in the quarry until Po takes the bitc... uhg fox out of prison, only 10 fucking minutes pass, all of that for what? So that you feel like the baseless information and the nonsensical plot that they tell us is of any use? they could simply make a non-canonical short and that's it, but no, yes or they were going to tell us a story written by rotten old men who spend the entire day watching Tik Tok. It's not going to be that the child who sees this doesn't get bored, we know that much today's children don't have many neurons as they say, but even to make movies for them you have to have a certain talent.

In some point at the beguining Po make a joke about the ausence of the furious five saying that at least he had them in cardboard posters, and this would be a good joke. Only if the stupid film could be prove that the franquise can do something memorable without the furious five, but again, that's not the case.

Don't have any respect for this movie, look what it had with you. I understand that it is enjoyable because of the animation but it does not go beyond that line, it destroys important things about the canon and spoils its teaching about the need for change by treating it in a terrible way.

Coclusion: KFP 4 is just another Po's adventure as Shifu says, it won't tell nothing to you or make you feel different, it's a shame but after Megamind 2 I imagined something like this. It's a dark era for film, expecially the animated one so like Scar said; Be prepare, there're worse things waiting for us.

Do you want something with real quality? You don't even need kung fu panda 1,2 or 3, for make it easy to this film let's take this marvelous example; kung fu panda: secrets of the scroll (2016). You'll say; "An animated short, this is not like-" Shhh Just watch it, you won't regret it.

If you think I'm wrong in something, just rewatch the film. And if still you aren't agreed with me, well, I respect you and I'm happy you like it. I wish I could love it as you do, but that doesn't mean that the movie isn't bad, because if you watch it with your brain on or remembering the previous movies it's terrible.

. Me? I've to write a story, I love you all. Except you, Dreamworks, I'm mad with you, expecially when you do this at the same day as Akira Toriyama's death :(

OMG U DREW LAZARI AND JUDGE ANGELS!! i gotta ask how would they interact with the others?

OOOK OK OK so , when trapped in the forest, dina is constantly stalking lazari and other zalgoids (ann and lulu). she thinks she's god and wants to hurt them. but she's the weakest zalgoid, so...

meanwhile, lazari is hiding from everyone because she has no control over herself and is gutted with shame.

so, in terms of the others...

kate and toby just handle them the way they usually do - toby talks, kate attacks (crazy how toby's the 'mature' one by this point). dina would get really scared of kate, but completely disregard toby and think he's a pathetic joke.

lazari would also be uncomfortable with kate, just because the straight black hair reminds her of her mother - but she'd be fond of toby, especially if he's cool with jack

brian and tim are actually RARELY around by time Dina and Lazari come in. they're able to go months without having slender sick episodes, and mostly just come to check on toby and kate. so they're just kinda startled when they see two new demonic things wandering around, and dont talk to them.

natalie would get closer to lazari because lazari hangs around jack's cabin (to dig into his garbage and eat his leftovers). and natalie has a huge soft spot for kids, and she's very quick to sympathize and understand lazari has no control over her cravings. but she'd also not like dina, since dina is really bitchy and judgmental. dina would just stare and stare and stare at clockwork - this 6'3 strong woman who can't hold her tongue and will glare right the fuck back. dina cannot stand it

nina would also think lazari is cute, but dina resembles a lot of her bullies in highschool, so... she'd just avoid her. regrettably, dina floats around the outskirts of the forest until kate chases her back towards the mines... so nina has to see her a lot.

jeff, liu, and ben won't really meet them. if jeff does, he might do what he did to jane in IEPFB and be like 'hey... you should go kick toby's ass...' but dina and lazari would be freaked out by him and not listen LOL

sally would cling to lazari. sally's a bit of a mean kid, but she has nobody even CLOSE to her age besides BEN (whos a 14 yr old boy). she'd run off to the forest more often to meet her, which already stresses out the proxies and jane a lot. she would ignore dina

jane would be fond of lazari since sally finally gets a friend, but constantly fret. jane doesnt understand all of these ghost and demon and whatever shit, so she wonders if a demonic thing could hurt sally. the ghost girl has been relatively safe for so long, but...

anyway. jack gets especially close to lazari, sees his little sisters and himself in her - she's a part-human cannibal who cant control her hunger. literally jacks situation. he'd tell the proxies to back off and say he can handle it, which they're very grateful for - and he starts to house her, feed her, raise her. this isn't daily, as she often spends her time scampering around the forest and trying to escape, or harassing dina, or just bother everyone - she wants to be friends with EVERYONE. her mother always isolated her, so the freedom feels insane.

and similarly, he'd feel very sympathetic to dina. she's also in a similar situation, human turned demonic and trapped in a world she can't escape from. he wouldn't really know that dina tried to kill lazari, cuz lazari wouldn't tell anyone. but dina wouldnt want anything from him. she sees him as demonic, so........

overall, lazari is so friendly and warm, but so dangerous.

dina is so judgmental and closed off, but so vulnerable

I am absolutely in love with your accidental courtship au, its a delight.

I dont know what species you're planning for Dream, but I'm imagining he tells Techno after all the cards are on the table, hes had time to process and they're both aware and on board with a courtship so Techno can finally follow the correct customs.

That, or, au of an au, Techno accidentally follows Dreams culture and Dream is absolutely gobsmacked. Like its an obscure culture and something Very strange to do unless you know it, even for Techno.

Dream doesnt, like, really realize Techno is courting him, hes way too busy mad pin board solving How The Hell Techno a) found out what Dream is and b) found the customs, like hes an ender dragon or something who no outsider know jack shit about

Eventually it'll kick him in the head that oh god, Techno is flirting with me. Eventually.

okay, so, here's the thing: dream doesn't know what he is. like, he doesn't remember his very early childhood. he figures he had someone taking care of him at some point, but he doesn't remember anything about them. he was on his own a lot when he was younger, until he befriended sapnap who eventually dragged him to bad, and he'd been with them ever since.

so, he doesn't know what he is. bad's from a very old, practically dead culture; demons just... aren't around anymore. just like how phil comes from the elytrians which also aren't around anymore. sapnap is blazeborn, so bad tried very hard to be mindful and respectful of that and teach him blazeborn culture. but none of them know what dream is. so, dream isn't sure what culture he's from. he (and sapnap, honestly) identifies a lot with demon culture, and he lives according to a lot of their customs because bad had shared his culture with him. but he still doesn't feel that it is wholly his culture, y'know?

he has some customs that he still follows from when he was really little. he doesn't remember who taught it to him, but it feels right.

to be clear: techno did try demon courtship rituals. and blazeborn courting rituals. and human courting rituals. all of which dream does know about, but it just never clicked in his mind that that's what techno was doing. dream just figured techno was misinterpreting the cultures in his attempts to find new ways to expand their rivalry to include cultures dream connects to. a touching gesture, even if it's a bit off (you'll find this is a common thought they have about each other).

as for what dream is... I think he's probably from the end in some way. he's very very humanoid, but his night vision is beyond that of a normal human's, and he's faster and more agile than a normal human, too. he doesn't mention it often, but he also has more of an affinity to magic and enchanting.

bad doesn't know what he is, but bad's also from the nether, and, whatever dream is, it's something that even bad wouldn't know.

but phil. well, phil's elytrian. he's from the end. of course he'd know what dream is. he figures it out around doomsday. he then, of course, tells techno, and techno tries those courtship rituals. how unfortunate that courtship rituals are not one of the things dream remembers about that culture lmao.

(there are some things, though, that kinda trigger memories within dream, and, like you said, he's absolutely baffled at how techno knows these things. except dream doesn't know that these things are a courting ritual, he just recognizes pieces of it. and then he's too preoccupied figuring out how techno knows).

#oh also forgot to say this but I'm so happy you're enjoying it!! :D #I made it cause I figured a light hearted silly au would bring some peace to the dash #and also I need to write more rivals stuff #as for what dream is specifically idk yet it's just kinda ambiguous end creature in my mind #miscommunication is my least favorite trope except when it's funny then I love it lol #they're idiots your honor #c!rivals duo #rivalsblr #dreblr #accidental courtship au #stella answers #karokatten

Hi, could you do some creepypasta x male reader? Maybe with LJ or Nina?

Nina the killer and Laughing Jack x Male! Reader

Nina the killer

Nina will learn and probably;y become better than you at all your hobbies, shes not sorry she just wants to be able to do things with you.

lowkey stalks you and your family members

at like 2am Nina will wake you up and drag you into the bathroom so that you can dye her hair some funky new colour. You're not mad at her for waking you because she looks so damn happy.

BATHS TOGETHER

She lays on your chest in the bath and probably has a rubber duck named Toaster.

Matching scars, she has your name you have hers. if you won't do it yourself she will make you. no pain no gain.

she moved on from Jeff after she realised he was NOT interested, it's kind of embarrassing yo her so she won't talk about him and you can't either, you're her BF? Are you trying to get her jealous?

"look at my fuckin' husband, bitch!"

"Jesus... Nina NO!"

OMG back to the bath thing, she's sat in the bath, your next to her and gently washing the blood off of her skin. She's gonna propose right then and there.

will keep the creeps far away from you, but your gonna get quite a lot of nosebleeds.

Also hope you dont value the female members of your family, they won't be coming around. ever. she may kill them in a jealous rage. She's funny like that.

7/10 for slaughtering female family.

Laughing Jack.

this is just a random thing but i HC that Jack's heartbeat beats to the tune of pop goes the Weasel. so you laying on his chest is more musical then you remember.

Making sweets together!!!! only eat the ones you make or the one LJ gives you. trust me you dont wanna eat the wrong ones.

I dont know where i heard this but sm said that Lj was made outta stuffing so I Hc that he rips his chest open so that you can use him as storage. also cuddles? 10/10

CIRCUS DATES!

THEY'RE ONLY FUN FOR YOU AND JACK AS A MOTHER WILL BE WEEPING NEARBY!!!

Jack got bad abandonment issues, he won't leave you alone. you're at work you hear pop goes the weasel from around the corner, go on a walk you'll see him in the window reflection. busy street look he's selling sweets go say hello. my advice is to see it as sweet, and easier in the long run.

Jack will prank you 24/7 (if you dont like pranks cause of loud noises or jumpscares then you need to tell him soon as. he won't stop otherwise when he does know then pranks won't stop but it won't be scary, that salt thing with food or moving shit an inch to the left, or stealing on of each sock.)

supportive clown bf

MAGIC FOR YOU. MAGIC. card tricks anything. make a child disapper? done. this is him wooing you, yes he will pull off his thumb, love him or I will.

100/10 i love this clown

trying to imagine what a Welcome Home ending would look like (which is extremely stupid lmao considering we dont know shit about jack yet), and it's just... huh.

i doubt it's going to take the "the puppets are turned into humans and they join the real world" route (and if it does, then cool! that'd be sick as fuck!), so what would a happy ending look like for them? would they get a little sanctuary to live freely in? is there a secret world of living puppets out there somewhere?

what if its a tragic ending? the puppets either are repurposed for a new show, or stripped of their Awareness, or become inanimate objects - normal puppets? what if they just straight up fade away?

or a bittersweet ending? they renew the show in order to stay alive and together, but they're forced to return to their old lives & routines? or it's ambiguous and we don't actually see what happens after a certain point - where the ending for the audience comes before the puppet's real endgame; it's not for us to see/know, they get an unobserved close to the story.

its simultaneously fascinating and distressing to think about.

#i have an inkling its gonna be that last bittersweet one but WHO KNOWS NOT FUCKIN ME!!!#for all we know theres a secret option none of us will ever consider #and then clown'll pull it outta thin air and we'll all be like OHHHHHHH HOLY SHIT!!!!#yknow? yah?#plot twist: wally turns the entire world into puppets #i just!!! i just have thoughts!#thinking about WH ending gives me that specific bittersweet/nostalgia/dread/anticipation emotion combo i still cant name #i have to shake myself by the shoulders and screech You Have Literal Fucking Years Before It Ends. Probably. Shut The Fuck Up And Vibe.#unfortunately my brain is Incapable of shutting up and i have the compulsive need to guess the ending of everything i watch/read/enjoy #welcome home theory #welcome home speculation #honestly thinking about that last option makes me so emotional #bc it is what they deserve. they were constantly Observed and Watched and theyre still being Watched and they deserve peace and freedom #BUT AGAIN WHO KNOWS!!! WE DONT KNOW HOW THIS STORY IS GONNA UNFOLD!#what twists and turns and Developments and Evolutions it'll take #i need to chill. i need to calm down about this project. i need to go camping for a week with not a hint of cell service #i need to be on a train north. please. please-

Dear Watcher....

This is going to be about the youtube channel Watcher and a recent video that they released earlier today, so if you dont watch the channel, or older content produced by Ryan, Shane and Steven at Buzzfeed, this is not going to make sense to you. This only going to be for those who are a fan of Watcher, or are fans of Buzzfeed Unsolved so if you are, that's great!

Earlier today, I got a video notifcation from the channel titled, "goodbye youtube", and it was definitely not something I wanted to see. There is a recent trend this year of youtubers retiring or taking a break this year and I was scared this was that scenario. And it kind of was but way worse. Basically, the guys over at Watcher are going to be posting on their new streaming service called....Watcher. And, no, it is not a late April Fools joke, that's actually what their doing. Initially, I was in a state of shock after I watched through the entire video. I, no joke, went through the 5 stages of grief upon viewing this announcement and was thrown through a loop to where I struggled to focus on sketching one of my comic pages. So much so that I actually made a deviant blog post about it the moment I finished watching the video (most of the content from this post will be copied and pasted from that blog so declaimer I guess). After having some time to absorb this information, I have to say that Im really disappointed with the guys over at Watcher. Like Im not mad to where Im completely done with their content but.......WHY!?

I think at this point in time that a lot of people, myself included, are burnout with the whole streaming boom we've had for the past 5 years in no part thanks to those greedy bastards at Disney....but thats another story. I miss the days when there were only 2 to 3 main streaming services and not 5 billion other services that you need to buy in order to watch a show you like that was on Netflix but it now locked behind a pay wall. Streaming services used by a novelty concept but are now not looked upon in the best light. So for the them to announce a streaming service now is definitely a bad look, especially because the content before was free to access. I feel like creators will always have an uphill battle when it comes to content that was initially free being locked behind a paywall, because you're potentially isolating your audience and bringing up the question of weather your audience if loyal enough to give you money to enjoy your content. Now, like I said, I love and respect the people at Watcher, but I dont know if I'm willing to take money out of my wallet to watch the next season of Ghost Files. Especially in this economy, where in some parts of the country a big mac now costs 20 fucking dollars, and with inflation going out of control.

Now its not like I don't understand why they're doing this. Ever since its founding in 2019, Watcher has always had troubles with money, with most of their shows not being profitable enough to make ends meet (I know that sounds bs because most of their vidoes get millions of views but this is coming from one of the founders Steven, in an update video from a while ago so idk, views probably mean jack shit in the grand scheme of things). And the fact that they started around the pandemic didn't help things either. Unlike Buzzfeed, Watcher is a much smaller company so any loss that happens is felt much more than if it was a larger one. In the video itself, they mentioned that most of their money came through youtube ads and sponsorships, which, while alright if you're an independent creator, may not be enough for a company. And then there's the fact that YouTube can remove or demonetize videos out of nowhere and for the dumbest reasons so its not a very stable sight to base your income off of. So I can understand why they felt moving on from YouTube was a good idea. But..........I think there were better ways of going about it than creating their own fucking streaming service. Like, in one of their update vidoes, they said most of their shows werent making ends meet so maybe cutting back on the production of said shows to make them not as expensive to produce would be a good solution. In their announcement vid, they talked about wanting to maintain their high production value for their shows without going under but (and I dont mean this to slight them) I dont think they understand why they popped off in the first place. For me, Im not watching Ghost Files or Mystery Files for high production value and fancy graphics, Im there for Ryan and Shane. Same reason I loved Buzzfeed Unsolved, which compared to those shows is much more bare bones. I get wanting to step up your production value from what you had at Buzzfeed but if you have budget out in certain places which would entail having a season that doesnt look as good as the previous season, that's completely fine. Im sure me and the rest of fans wouldn't have minded a downgrade because at the end of the day, the fancy sets and graphics are window dressing to why we're truly watching.

I also thinking letting us know ahead of time would've possibly softened the blow. Watcher is in a very interesting situation because there's a much closer relationship between them and their customer base as opposed to traditional companies. So they really could've been like "hey! We're thinking about having future content be on our own streaming service because doing business through YouTube is fucking us over. What do you guys think?". One explanation as to why they waited until now instead of a few months ago when this idea was sparked could've been because they knew they would get backlash and they were going ahead with the streaming service idea regardless of fan input, which might be the reason. But if that's the case, they probably would've had the comments and likes disabled from the start. Right before I started typing this, I checked the video to see if the comments were disabled and they are thankfully still there. Im someone who always wants to see the good in people (which is definitely a character flaw of mine and while defiently lead to me being at the end of an abusive relationship........another abusive relationship but lets not go there), so I think this might be the case of Ryan, Shane and Steven, thinking the streaming service was a good idea and not reading the room properly.

At this point, Im hoping that they dont do things that could make this situation 10 times worse: a) removing the existing content (Mystery Files, Puppet History, etc) off the youtube channel and having it on their streaming service. If you are going to have new seasons of those shows behind a paywall, at least have that content still up for those who want to support but cant purchase the service......b) respond to the critism in a negative way. I think things would be made worse if they lumped genuine fans who are concerned with the new direction with the trolls and haters, and double down on this new direction. Im hoping this situation ends up being a slip up that they can learn from and not being the beginning of the downfall of the Watcher gang. No joke, I think Ryan and Shane are the only youtubers who have avoided any sort of drama up to now. Youtubers I once respected over the years from Tobuscus to Leafyishere to H3H3 to Idubbz to even fucking Dream have all fell from grace in one way or another, and Im hoping the ghoul boys dont join that list....

Hi Jack are you a part of, or know any discord servers that are actually safe for minorities, preferably for people with mental illnesses?

no and imma be real, u probably won't find one

im sure there's a whole bunch of new ones in the tag and that ppl will comment to promo their servers yelling "were different were not like those ~other~ shitty servers" but after joining dozens and dozens of cluster b and mental health servers over the years ill be honest, they're kind of all shit and I dont think anyone should join them or waste their time making them

the cluster b ones always get overrun with terfs and nazis, even the ones that claim to be safe for poc and queer ppl

and the ones that don't, almost always implode for some other fucked up reason or fizzle out into nothing in a few months. turns out that when the only thing u have in common with a group of ppl is similar mental illnesses it makes for flimsy connections with ppl u dont actually like or have any compatibility with

they also almost always end up as either uwu hug boxes where everything everyone does is "valid" and if u so much as politely imply something someone is doing might be fucked up or harmful or wrong then u get yelled at by conflict averse mods who desperately don't want anyone to rock the boat and force them to deal with a problem

or they become highly aggressive and toxic spaces where everyone highkey hates eachother but hangs around anyway and they encourage super disordered behavior and use the space as nothing more than somewhere to vent their anger problems

because running a healthy space for mentally ill ppl does infact require skills, time, and energy. ur essentially running a digital halfway house for the severely mentally ill and absolutely no one who starts up these spaces is qualified or prepared for what that means

so my genuine suggestion is dont waste ur time and instead try joining some servers based around ur hobbies or things that u really enjoy and are interested in that have nothing to do with ur mental health

Creepypasta general headcanons

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚general head cannons for the creeps⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

characters ; jeff the killer, ben drowned, slender man, eyeless jack & nina

fandom ; creepypasta

note ; i didn't know if you wanted all in one or just a few so i picked 5 out and just added some in all ones at the end!

DONT INTERACT IF 13-

jeff the killer ~jefferey woods~

while chasing a victim in the forests he's probably accidently swinged at himself which caused him to get really hurt at least once.

he has little bite marks in the collar of his cotton shirts cause whenever he gets nervous, he bites his collars, for sure.

his room is the blandest in the whole manor, he seriously does not give a shit about decorating his room.

in my opinion he's also just like a walking zombie.

and last but not least... i personally think instead of him being all lanky, thin, brittle boned (aka how zombies would be) he's actually like hella buff.

ben drowned ~benjamin lawmen~

ben doesn't age, ever. hes gonna be a 12 year old forever.

he can also float, go through walls, doors, make lights flicker by using energy, overall, just whatever ghosty ghosts do!

and i don't think he teleports through tv's or whatever but actually he can find people easier through them.

slender man ~eric knudsen~

like mentioned before i said manor instead of the established mansion because i feel as slender man would find mansions just un useful and whatnot and just overall just strongly prefer manors any day.

slender man is not a "loving father" to the creeps but instead he is a greedy, acquisitive, rapacious, being towards them and not at all petrified to act when he doesn't get what he wants.

also, he is a phantom entity who lacks in age wise, which meaning he does not have an age, he is ageless. some may say he could be even in the millions which isn't true in my opinion.

eyeless jack ~jack nicholas~

he only hunts for dinner, he strives on eating new fresh human meat, organs and whatever that is in a human.

he doesn't sleep whatsoever. he has never had shut eye after becoming a creep, isn't that crazy?

he may only see at night whenever he has to hunt. when making the deal the slender man they agreed on allowing jack to see when necessary and slender man gets a new sacrifice and a new... employee you may say?

uses it/its pronouns

nina ~nina hopkins~

she's never liked jeff, ever.

she makes them cute kandi bracelets in her free time.

i never do sexuality head cannons since it just doesn' make sence in my head but she's 100% lesbian.

gay lord overload!!!

reads fanfics on wattpad, qoutev, a03 etc.

IN ALL

they don't just go on random ass killing sprees because why the hell would they?

and no, they don't just do paperwork and meaningless shit like that, they're meant to serve slender man not just do paperwork. not even the big boss slender does paperwork.

everybody hates each other besides jeff and toby may get along okay since they are sort of related not by blood of course but by the fire incidents.

I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR EVERYBODY RESPAWNS AU VERY BADLY

thank u for your interest :)! sorry this got kinda longwinded i think. i never write stuff down lol…….

okay sooo i basically wanted an excuse to think about jack being alive post-canon, but i figured if u bring back the guy who had it coming its only fair to bring back other characters who should not have beefed it. and so! the best option seemed like the new-U system! i know they're just a game mechanic thats not supposed to be taken literally but if they're not gonna use it i am lol.

(putting all this under a cut)

roland not respawning after jack kills him in bl2 is kinda weird since he defs uses new-Us in bl1, but i could see jack using a jammer or some chump shit to interrupt the process. maya n lilith's deaths happen in ways were i……. get that they wouldnt respawn but their data could be still in the system somewhere. i also think non-vault hunter npc like scooter would have at least fast traveled once (most of the fast travels are also hyperion? i think? they feel like the same tech) so they might also have digistruct data. sometimes the system trips up, or u cant pay the fee ect ect, and u dont respawn, but ur up there! backed up in the damn cloud or some nonsense.

wilhelm, nisha, n aurelia are all perma-killed in canon, but are replayable fights, so TECHNICALLY they kind of are respawning they're just………… stuck. the new-U puts them back together but they cant move on for some reason. some goes for a lot of the other infinitely respawning bosses/enemies.

so the catalyst for this au now that bl3 is out is that post-canon, tannis is training her siren powers by shifting thru hyperion's systems, she decides familiarizing herself with the new-U system might be useful when she uncovers all these backed up and malfunctioning respawns, and realizes that if she just like. refreshes the system, all these people might come back. she consults with the other raiders about her findings, n that she probably COULD pick and choose profiles to revive their friends but not their enemies, but tannis is trying to AVOID playing god these days thank u very much.

ultimately they all want their friends back too much to pass up the opportunity and have tannis go thru with it. everybody respawns!! everybody gets a lot of confused echo-messages!! everybody cries!! the crimson raiders are reunited!!!

(this is the part where i talk abt jack and angel's respawns bc they're. specific.)

jack not respawning at a new-U is kinda weird with the context that he like. owns them? it tracks that he thought he was too good to need them, but hes also very paranoid, so what if he had his set up different? a failsafe in the Very Unlikely Event something happens to him, where instead of the nearest new-U, he's respawned at a station in a saferoom somewhere where he can be in immediate control of the situation again. it also tracks that he was very confident he could keep angel safe, but again. what if the very very worst happens? angel's respawn is set to be something only jack can activate, but he has to do it manually so no one else can get to her first. his ego was too big to see any flaws with this!

he doesnt think about the chance that something happening to angel while she's so deeply ingrained in hyperion's systems might mess stuff up. so when she dies, the saferoom goes dark, and jack's too far gone to notice. he's going to win the day and revive his daughter into the better, safer world he's going to build. this does not happen, he dies and his data has no new-U to go to so it just sits there. until tannis resets the system, which powers his saferoom up and spits him out. a new-U glitch he didnt care enough about to have anyone patch interrupts the reconstruction process and he loses his arm to it. he manages enough first aid to not just die again, and finally respawns angel, hoping she'll help him.

after respawning, once angel is able to get her bearings, she's devastated by the idea that jack won, but quickly realizes he DIDNT and he's very hurt and weak right now and this is her CHANCE. but she cant bring herself to kill him she wants to so badly but she just. cant go through with it. but she sure as shit can pistol whip him, collar him, and march him straight to the crimson raiders. once she finds them.

(there are some other specifics we have about this au, and lots we havent figured out yet but this post is already so long im sorry……..)

#im trying to avoid retconning too much canon and just working around it #but i never finished tales so. thats not on my mind with this au so much lol #i try 2 have fun......#borderlands #everybody respawns #long post

My naem os Taylor Alexandria (AN: if u domt no who dat iz get da heck outta here!) Locker Bug Brockton Bay, and I was wearing a l33t outfit made of spoderslik whic I made by hand. I was walking around my home town of Naziland USA, with my best buddies Tattletale Foxy Smirk Lore Dump Device, who's a total babe with green eyes and blonde hair and I am totally not gay for how much time I spend looking at her boobs no not at all; and Bitch Butch Dog Lady Autism; a butch woman with short brown hair and big muscles thst I dont think about much at all totslly not no.

Anywyz we were walkin to Fugly Bobs to feed our token boy character; he is too lazy to leave the house and such will not be appearing in the sotry again.

So no shit, their we were when all of a sudden a car crash happened!

Thinking quickly, I set my Bugs to eat all the innocsnt toddlers nearby to stop them from causing the end of Da World!!! Cause they could like trigger or something idk I just like killing kids.

Tats chortled and said "Lol Lmao the bus had One Direction, Fall Out Boy, and Panic at the Disco onboard! They're gonna sing for uz! But only if we give them our credit card information! Dont worry I already know yours cauze I'm psychic sidekick lady!"

She... Really likes exclamation points.

In all this excitement Bitch had called up uer dogs and turned them into Kaiju Dogs (tm) and fed the bands inside the bus to them. Shes such a caring Dog Lady <3

Anyway then Collateral Damage Barbie dropped a dumpster on Bitch.

I wa sso sadz! :(

Anyway Glory Hole ended up fucking Tats in front kf me!?!

That bitch (no not Bitch shes dead) stole my waifu!!!

Rahhh!!!

Taylor enters Super Saiyan-, I mean, Khepri Ultra Mode and k*lls Glory Hole.

Then Scion, who was off getting high with Blasto nuked us all to death.

...

Taylor Hebert woke with a gasp, confused and disturbed by her nightmare. She checked the bugs she had on her totally-not-partners and was relieved to find they were okay.

She then looked at her bedside table and found a cd player and a note. Curious, she picked up the note.

"Hey Skitter! Jack Slash here! I'm leaving these new official Slaughterhouse Nine brand Nightmare Players (tm) in the homes of a thousand parahumas across america. Make sure to subscribe to our Youbook channel and become a patron for more tinkertech creations!

-Jack Slash

(In a suspicious red ink)

P.S. Hi Skitter! We should make bugs together sometime!

-Bonesaw"

Taylor very quietly put the note down, walked outside of her house that she stole from a dead Nazi, and burnt it to the ground. Best to be sure about things like this.

Yuu not giving a fuck anymore bc they get into fights too many time so if someone's gets in their face ONE more time there bitting them and ripping off skin.

TW: BLOOD, BIT OF A NOSE BEING TEARN OFF!

So there's been this Savanaclaw wolf beastman that kept messing with you. But after getting into 10 different fights he still messed with you so you decided to give him a warning anyone would understand. ESPECIALLY Beastman from Afterglow Savahna.

Savanaclaw student: *leans in hella close, where you feel his hot ass breath* You looking for a beating perfect?

Yuu: come a lil closer..

Savanaclaw student: *does so but dosen't realize* What you gonna-

Yuu: *sinks their teeth in on their nose and is using their nails to tear at their shoulders and uniform*

The first years: *watching in horror* OMG YUU-

The dorm leaders: hOLY SHIT-

Savanaclaw student: *finally pries off Yuu with a little bit of their nose missing and a fuck ton of scratches in their shoulders and their uniform ripped to shreds* YOU- YOU FREAK!

Yuu: *spits the bit of nose they have in their face and grins a feral grin* awweee did the big dumb wolf not know this herbivore has fangs?

Savanaclaw student: FUCK YOU! YOU- YOU-

Leona: *steps between you two* Enough! *looks at his underclassmen* go to the nurse.

Savanaclaw student: *nods and rushes off*

Leona: *looks at Yuu* wtf herbivore you never told me you had fangs?

Yuu: HE asked for it. *turns to Epel who gives them a napkin and Sebek giving them a water bottle to spit out the blood* thank you. Plus I usually don't fight like that but I'm pretty sure he got the message.

Epel: HA he's lucky you didn't try to go for the throat.

Sebek: I agree. BUT THAT WAS SO FOOLISH HUMAN YOU COULD GET SOME DICEASE FROM HIM NOW!

Yuu: *shivers* EW SEBEK DONT SAY THAT!

Jack: *dosent know if he's turn on or terrified* omg you almost ripped his face off-

Grim: THATS MY HENCHMAN MAHAHAHAHA!

ADeuce: *looking at Yuu dumbfounded and agreeing not to anger you*

Ortho: I can do a quick scan too see if you got anything from him!

Yuu: aahhhh yes please and thank you.

Mc being the one to take out the sword in the stone.

Like NRC goes to RSA and there's this sword in an anvil onto of a stone in the middle of the campus and some prince overbloated and Mc got separated from their friends and had to improvise since the overbloater found them first.

So they rushed to the sword they saw and everyone getting there at the last second where Mc took the sword out like a prince and pointed at the overbloater.

And everyone just stops bc there's a light coming from heaven and angels are singing-

Even the overbloater even stopped and in shock transformed back.

Mc: oh thank God I don't know how to use a sword-

RSA: ALL HAIL THE KING/QUEEN/MONARCH!

Mc: *looks at the sword then at the stone and anvil.....and it clicks its like the sword in the stone* Fuck.

Mc is then crowned the all mighty ruler above every other Monarch. And they're just sitting there like wtf do I do. Ambrose then walked I'm "Huh I knew you were destined for somethign I just didn't know what." Mc then just sits there as their friends come to them.

The first years are asking to be apart of their court. Which Yuu says yes to. The royal boys of the group are like "Holy shit I could marry them-" and the ones from lower family's are like "Ayo slide some money-" Riggie is quaking in his boots bc holy shit your loaded now-

All the overbloater feel horrible bc the one destined to rule over the lands like a true monarch is here and they almost killed them.

Crowley is having a field day with this "I knew you were a good bet to chose!" Mc orders Crowley to be banished from their Palace. Sebek and Jack are kinda like bodyguards now and yeah.

Mc: No bc fr how do I rule a country-

Leona: idk I'm the second in line so-

Malleus: *sighs* I'll help come on well start with the basic lessons from Lilia.

To me it kinda makes sense since Yuu is basically acting as all the heros when fighting the overbloats. (I also have a angst idea for when Malleus overbloats.)

So thoughts on this?

Me thinking of RSA how they would see Yuu as a person in distress since their such a nice person in a Villian school. There was like 100 RSA boys.

But they don't tell Yuu they kidnap them. And Yuu punches them and runs to the Hall of Mirrors.

They rushed in Heartslabyul and Scream for Ace and Duece while Grim is setting fire to the RSA boys. Ace sees them first and jumps into action and Deuce runs in too swinging at all the boy's trying to grab Yuu.

Trey ends up hearing everything and Carter rushes to them Cater sends out a text to everyone and Riddle gets it.

In rage Riddle sends Off With Your Heads to 4 different RSA students.

Yuu continues on to Savanaclaw where Jack smells their destrest really all of the Savanaclaw boys they ended up seeing Caters text and jump into action they got 8 RSA boys and Leona was going to use Kings Roar but Yuu ran to him and told him NO-

Ruggie pickpockets all the rich boys. And made them trip and follow him. Jack ran at Yuu and booked it into the Hall and into Octavinelle.

Azul already saw the text and had Floyd and Jade ready.

He let Jack and Yuu in but when the RSA boys came they got 6 of them old was yelling leave leave shrimpy alone while Jade gave his Sadist smile.

The RSA boys screamed for help and Azul smiled at them "I can male a contract to help you~" bit non of them were willing to.

Jack continued to run away from the ones that rushed out of Octavinelle.

And now in Scarabia Yuu screamed for Jamil and Kalim.

Jamil ordered his boys to throw sand in the RSA boys they got 10 of them. Kalim a little bit mad at them for trying to take his friend made Oasis maker in then to drown them for a little. And Jamil used Snake Whisper on them to listen

Jack continued to Pomefiore where Vil was itching to show these RSA boys who is the fairest. Epel used himself as a distraction and Rook shot them down with electric arrows.

Vil gave the students gas masks and made sleeping smoke bomb to know out 20 RSA kids but Jack continued and made sure jot to breath in the gas.

Ignihyde was easy to get in and hide because of the security Idia had he saw the text and wanted to punish the normies trying to take his player two!

Ortho didn't like how his Older sibling was going to get kidnapped so he did a scan on all the RSA kids.

They got 40 of them. But Jack continued but ended up falling when Beast got him. Jack yelled for Yuu to run and they did so.

And to the final dorm Diasomnia.

The rest of the RSA boys were after them. 12 were left. Sebek and Silver got to them knocking down 6.

Then Lilia came and got 5 one got away and rushed to Yuu.

Yuu got cornered while this happened all the NRC students rushed in and to Yuu.

They saw Yuu was cornered and wad going to butt in but then some of the Defeated RSA students began to fight again.

Yuu: BACK UP!

Rando 'Prince Charming': Come fair one I can free you! *grabs their arm hard hut dosent know*

Yuu: ok then yOU ALL ASKED FOR IT *this caused some of the students to stop fighting and Look at them*

Yuy took in a big deal breath and bellowed

My #1 post of 2022

Yuu, breaking into Diasomnia through a window, holding an orphaned baby dragon: MALLEUS I HAVE FOUND US A CHILD

Malleus: what-

Lilia: A GRANDCHILD-

Silver: oh just like father did with me-

Sebek: NO I WON'T STAND FOR THIS!!

Yuu: I found them in the forest so hurt and decided I should come here bc it imprinted on me so-

Malleus: I will be the best father there could ever be!

Lilia: *wiping a tear of joy* That's my boy!

Sebek: I SAID I WON'T- *sees the baby dragons small form and hoe cute it is* I WILL PROTECT THIS BABY WITH MY LIFE WAKA-SAMA!

OK my story thing. background player. is a fanfic (LIsTEN, A03 WAs THE ONLY sITE I HEARD OF TO POsT sTORIEs. I DID NOT KNOW IT HAD TO BE FANFIC!!) yeah turns out it has to have a fandom . so i just made it rainworld since why not thats like already half of the story. Anyway its about my oc the whisperer...i havae a image hold on:

yeahthem. They grew up (and lived on) an island in the sky with they're mom. there was NO DANGERAT ALL, everyone just ate the same boring blue fruit. Whenever he would ask about anything else everyone in town and his own mom (they're inter gender btw call them whatevre.) told him small stories about whats below but other then that JACK sHIT. his dads dead which leaves a lot of questions since he does NOT look normal and his mom looks nothing like him. One day they decide "im bored up here, i wanna see whats below" so they hop down with they're notebook, a knife, and 2 pencils. thats kinda it. He looks weird from his dipped ears and tail with weird circles on it (wink wink) TURNs OUT EVERYTHING DOWN HERE WANTs TO EAT EACHOTHER, and has no civil-thingys like he did at home!! so he has to find a way back!! the creatures down here might know what his dad looked like, and he wants info to write and draw down. In chapter one "A new day" he nearly dies from a cyan lizard but lives. He later finds a scavenger fucking murdering a lizard and saves it. He had heard the rain falling below in the sky. But now he has to see it himself. And boy, he knows nothing.

OOOOHHhh im looking. looking very hard… totally dont send me a link haha i totally wont look at it once i finish playing a bit of rainworld haha. (please send it to me if you’d like…. i will definitely take a look once im a bit more familiar with [LORE]. !!!!!!!!!)

#wink wink why are we winking. wink wink. “”””;3 sweatinf profusely…this is about purpl liz i know but. I DONT… wink wink #asks #myposts

so get this. its my day off. im just sitting in my house and for some reason i get the urge to look at my ducks. and as im looking something's really nagging at me. i suddenly realize they're not in a row. i dont know if they were always like that or if something knocked them out of the way or something. it doesnt matter. so im just sitting there like "shit, people are always saying its good to get those in a row." its my day off so of course i dont want to do it. i try to sit down and watch some movies but i cant stop thinking about. its pissing me off so bad i can barely concentrate. so i get up from the sofa and i start putting my ducks in a row. shit takes me hours. you wouldnt believe how how many ducks there were. do you have any idea how hard it is to get a single duck in row? let alone a fuckin flock of them? after a few hours my fuckin muscles are feeling weak, my bones are sore. im dreaming about a nice chicken dinner when im done with all this shit. thats how tired fucking tired i was. so fuckin beat i was dreaming about a chicken dinner. jesus christ. so i pick up the last duck, sighing with relief, and im about to put it in the row, when out of the corner of my eye i notice something on the bottom of the duck. im like what the fuckin shit is that. so i turn the duck over and there's a tiny little sticker. smallest shit you ever seen in your life. i get out my magnifying glass and start reading the fucker. right there, on the ass end of the duck, in print so fine a particularly quick amoeba could cross its width in a millisecond, written in an offensively inscrutable font, are the words "WARNING: WARRANTY VOID IF ALL DUCKS ARE PUT IN A ROW"

yeah.

......... you might think i would be angry, but honestly i mostly just felt defeated. for a minute it seemed like all the air got sucked out of the room. all that work. for jack shit. i tried to bargain with myself that the maybe warranty wasn't actually that important but it was no use. i just couldn't help but think about my sister. she had all her little ducks in a row, and everything was dandy, at least for for a while. then one day - it was on new year's eve 1997 - a drunk driver coming home from a party struck a patch of ice. the driver swerved off an embankment, sending the car crashing through my sister's living room wall. one of her ducks was found crushed under the front left wheel. the duck was rushed to the hospital, but it was critically injured and never recovered. the duck spent 4 years in a vegetative stage, racking up millions of dollars in medical bills before finally succumbing to an infection caused by an improperly cleaned feeding tube. all the trauma and the debt and shit really ate away at her. she was down a duck too, and even if she wanted a new one she couldn't afford it what with all the debt. and when she called up the duck people about her duck insurance the first thing they asked was did she put them in a row. the fuckers. i think maybe that made her feel like she was responsible for their death because she was the one who put them where she did, which also meant she felt she was responsible for every terrible thing that had suddenly befallen their little family. i tried to get her to see a psych or something but she just wouldnt go no matter how much i begged. then last october she just disappeared one day out of nowhere. when the police searched her house it was nearly empty. turns out she had sold most of her possessions in the preceding weeks. the only things she seems to have taken with her were her clothes and some toiletries. they found her driver's license completely melted in the firepit outback. practically the only significant thing that she left behind were her ducks. they were still arranged in same row that they had been in since before the accident. i wish i could have taken them in, but its impossible for someone to take another person's ducks. sure sometimes you can borrow them, if you've got permission that is. but taking them into your own home? it cant be done. it's been more than a year now since she left and we still haven't heard a peep from her. i just hope she decides to come back while ma and pa still have some time left. you can imagine how they took it.

anyway, to get back to what i was saying earlier, what could i do? i wasn't about to violate the warranty. i knew what might happen. maybe i coulda just left the last duck out of the row but that somehow seemed in violation of the spirit of the thing to me, and let me tell ya, you do not want to fuck with the spirt of the thing. so, i did not only what i had to do, but i also what felt right to me. that's the only way to really keep your hands clean. i took my ducks out of a row. by the end of it i damn near passed out on the floor. the ducks weren't too happy about being moved around so much, but hey, i wasnt too happy about it neither. i was too tired to feel empathy anyway. so afterwards i lay down in bed and im abou to fall asle- oh hey look, here comes the waiter. do you know what you're gonna order? oh yeah? that sounds real tasty, bud. huh? me? well i think i could go for a chicken dinner myself, ive been working up a pretty big appetite. by the way, did you see the tonights special? have a look at the sign! its duck a l'orange! you think they put em' in a row back there?!?!? HAAAAAAAAAAhaaaaaahaaaahahahaaaaaa

I just watched the Reacher movies and man I dont care what ppl say, Tom is awesome in them and does quiet brooding so well. I totally get the ppl who read the books and had someone else in mind, but I really have no idea why the second movie gets so much shit as a movie, I kinda preferred it. I especially love the scene on the plane when the girl is talking about her father and his face when he's listening to it.

Hey anon,

Glad to hear you enjoyed them. I do think both films are underrated, and if Tom Cruise had been playing a similar character with any other name, Reacher (2012) would get a lot more props for being a solid grown-up film of the thriller/action genre. It’s quietly stylish and beautiful, with a focus on making the action clear to the audience, which means no shaky cam to hide poorly laid-out action sequences or excessive editing to add tension where none exists or to get your main character over a fence. From the opening sequence, through music and action, it lays out the tone and style of the film so succinctly while immediately immersing you in the story.

I understand why fans of the books were unhappy with Tom Cruise being cast, despite the blessing of the author, Lee Child. Every reader will have an image of a character in their heads, and it can be hard to see certain actors in certain roles. Unsurprisingly, the biggest complaint against Tom Cruise being cast was to do with his height, as he very much does not fit the description of "extremely tall, extremely broad, long-armed, and long-legged" with "hands the size of dinner plates." Now I've never read the books, and while I understand why fans were unhappy, I think Christopher McQuarrie utilizes Tom really well in the first movie and uses his physique as an advantage.

For the type of thriller that the first film is, it leans more toward noir than straight up crime action; a character over 6' would have storytelling pitfalls. What works in a book can translate to the screen very differently. That doesn’t mean that a Reacher who is more faithful to the books in terms of height and build couldn’t work. The new Amazon Prime series has been very popular, but any man who is as big and as imposing as Reacher is described is going to stand out, and you would have to actively address the fact that he would be someone who is hard to take down in a fight. Instead, with the casting of Tom Cruise, the film shows how people underestimate him, such as the guys in the bar who think they can take him out with little hassle.

Then there’s the fact that the character of Reacher is a drifter, someone who slips in and out of town, leaving no trace. Well, if a guy is 6 feet whatever and built, people are going to remember him, and it will make it a little harder for him to slip away unnoticed. But not a Reacher who is built like Tom, and Christopher McQuarrie shows this brilliantly with the escape on the bus at the end of the car chase. It actively plays into the character being a drifter; he just disappears into a crowd.

The second film, Never Go Back, is a more typical thriller/action film with a family road trip added in that I like because Reacher is being forced into a situation he usually avoids, having to work with others. Never Go Back is well balanced, with Turner and Reacher both being highly capable and highly motivated individuals. When Turner expresses to Reacher that she wants to get these guys more than him, we see that he took this on board during the interrogation scene because he leaves it to Turner. I wish his falling into an assistive role had continued with Turner fully solving the mystery that they're smuggling drugs, I feel she deserved to solve it. But at the end of the day it is a Jack Reacher movie.

I also like how both films handle the potential romantic dynamic. With Helen there is a hint that if he were to stay, he could very much have a life with her, but the film knows not to force it, and I like that there’s no kiss. Despite the chemistry between them, it really hasn’t been earned, and any kiss would have felt forced and more like the film doing it because of the type of movie it is rather than it coming from the characters. With Turner, we see how similar they are. Yes, at the start there was some mild flirting and intrigue about each other over the phone, but their connection is one where they’re better as friends, and that's okay. In the end, it's the potential of the father-daughter relationship with Sam that leaves a bigger impact on Reacher than the romantic one, which we also saw a little of in the first film with Sandy. His interactions with her, especially in the office scene, were more paternal, and he never really tried romantic charm to get information out of her.

Ultimately, I think both films have more merit than people give them credit for. Neither is perfect, and I don’t know if either one would be in my top ten Tom Cruise movies, but if you can look past the casting issue of Tom as Reacher because of the height thing, each of them is a rewarding watch.
