LOCATION: olive branch FOR: lindsay buchanan
Tumblr media
𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 trained when it comes to the art of calm -- and while he does not necessarily feel it, every vertebrae of his body overwhelmed by admiration, he had been trained to pretend. however, this appeared to be an asset that he had left behind with his former occupation. that is, exclusively when it came to lindsay buchanan. how could he not? and while his attraction had only grown stronger as their friendship blossomed, he couldn't deny that something in his heart threatened to call out the very first time their eyes locked all those years ago. the bray was strong -- a scream if he had ever heard one, but the sound had one obstacle standing in it's way: his brain. what so many before have compared to a computer -- searching every crevice of the universe for the best possible outcome. more specifically, the one where he remains nearly, if not completely, unscathed. error 404, solution not found. he was breaking his own heart by stay silent ( he knew this, but he had stashed such a thought in the back of his mind, making it easy to forget ), but what made it all the more difficult was that not only did he have to think for himself -- but he had to think for someone else.
funny how that worked, when he already thought about the other man more than he believed he should. many a sleepless night had been exasperated due to mental images of him, his smile, the sound of his voice. not only did it frighten him that he found himself caring for someone so deeply ( falling head over fucking heels, if he were to be quite frank ), but the prospect was gripping him at the wrist to hold him back -- allowing five years of friendship to fall to the side of the road all for feeling.
he had first met lindsay fresh out of the fbi, a bundle of nerves and overwhelmed by a desperate need, not a want, to make a good impression. sentry solutions had been kind enough to open their doors to him like one opens their home to an animal in dire need -- soon after giving him a pair of feet to stand on. but, while one might think that as one enters their thirties you're looking for your life to move faster, at the time, jace had been desperate for things to move slower. he had found that in teaching -- found fulfillment in ways that he never knew he needed.
even if it meant losing time with lindsay, he knew that teaching was what would lead him on the path to becoming a better man. not just for himself, but for the people who he loved and who loved him. he had worked hard to keep in contact, and while he chased time with lindsay like an addict chases their next overwhelming high, it was not just out of the devotion that took resident along the right side of his chest. very few people in his life had bestowed the gift upon him of making him feel seen, heard. without knowing it, lindsay had somehow managed to dim the voices in his head that he had tried to stifle for longer than he could possibly remember, from adolescence into adulthood.
meeting for drinks. an interaction that seemed so casual in nature. anyone could see that they were two friends -- right? catching up, passing the time. the dim light of the martini bar was ( hopefully ) enough to hide what he could only assume to be his anxious flush. and yet, he can't help but admire the way the dimness chisels lindsay's features. he had found himself listening actively, of course, hanging onto every single word. all nervous energy was channeled into twirling the ring that adorned his right pointer finger, taking great care not to drown in the glass inches away from his grasp. he is completely fine. he can only lie to himself for so long, considering he can't find it within himself to believe it.
as a profiler, he knows is able to separate the personal of his life from his occupation -- as anyone else does. it is the cardinal rule he has vowed not to break: to analyze the people in his life. but he is desperate to know what lindsay is thinking, if there are words sitting on his tongue and if he will ever hear them. he's come close a couple times -- only to pull himself back the closer he reaches the precipice. lindsay deserves more than that. he is not a criminal, he is a human being. he's reminded of this in the ways that lindsay makes him feel like a person, more so than he has in thirty four years of living.
" thank you. " he finds himself saying in a moment of silence, pausing to take another sip from the martini in front of him. there are many things he could be thanking lindsay for ; the irony is most certainly not lost on him. and yet, he has intention. " for getting me out of my office.. grading papers has taken too much time from me, it seems. " time i could have spent with you. it's simply the truth -- he could look downwards and begin fussing with his student's work, scanning it for mistakes and he could look up, simply mystified by the clock. six hours later. six hours he could have spent many other ways, with friends, with family. training the next generation of agents, profilers.. to have them look to him, he was devoted to his work. and yet, he couldn't deny he was becoming the reclusive stereotype every academic fears to be. " i hope you are not doing the same.. losing yourself in your work that is. i'm sure ellie wouldn't have it for a second. "

Imagine: going to a ghost concert with Eddie munson
Modern au!
Pairing: Eddie munson x plus size! Reader
Mentions: metal, the usual ghost naughtiness
Do I know if Eddie munson would like ghost nope but I do soooo here we goooooooo
Tumblr media
He’s excited to see you so excited he didn’t even know you liked metal until one day in hellfire club after a meeting you slipped a ticket into his hand
You told him you’d pick him up at 5 on the dot and to be ready for the time of his life
Millions of things are going through his head? Mans is a bit of a dingus sometimes
When the times rolls around he’s bouncing his leg staring down at the ticket in his hand wondering just what you have in store for him
When you pull up to the house and text him your there he comes vaulting down his rickety front porch stairs and into your car
Calmed your nerves did ya? You caught a whiff of the skunky smell the moment he opened the door not that you cared
You were wearing your own battle vest he’d never seen it before now he liked the huge ghost bc patch on the back of the vest with papa emeritus the third and his nameless ghouls
As you speed off down the road you can’t help but grin at him this is gonna be so fuckin awesome pinky promise munson
When you get to the venue you give the person your tickets dragging Eddie inside trying to get as close to the barriers as possible
The lights dim and fire shoots up from the stage and from there the rest is history Eddie is enamored the stage, the lights, the art form, everything
Your grinning ear to ear as they play one last song kiss the go- go goat you had a devious plan as you started singing the song holding onto Eddie’s arm as you sing your heart out causing him to give you a dopey smile
Once the end of the song comes you pull him down into a loud kiss to match the song leaving him a blushing dopey smiling mess

OK I'm pretty sure this has already been asked, but I haven't read far enough into the book to see if it's been explained, so I hope you don't mind the ask!
Are there specific clans of vampires in VTM? Or different breeds?
*slowly spins around so you can see the absolutely MANIACAL, UNHINGED grin on my face*
OHHHHHH BABY, HERE WE FUCKIN GOOOOOOOO
So, Vampire: The Masquerade is a ttrpg system first released in the 90s about vampires, part of a larger overworld called The World of Darkness, or just commonly called the 'WoD' - this, as well as vampires, includes werewolves, changeleings (faeries), Mages (magic people), demons, as well as other creatures, all of which have their own games under this system, but the one that I play (and the only one I'm interested in playing tbh bc the it's the oldest, most popular and best developed of the games) us Vampire: The Masquerade.
-
SO Thw World of Darkness is a grittier, slightly more grim-dark version of our reality. People are a bit less kinder, the shadows are a bit darker. And in those shadows, lurk vampires.
Now, in the official canon lore of the WoD, vampires are all descended from Caine - yes, that Caine. The Bible dude. As punishment for his transgression again God, God cursed him to shun the sun and forever walk the Earth. Being lonely, Caine sired three 'childer', three vampires, who then also sired more, who became the 13 Antedeluvians ('those who survived the flood') and THOSE 13 became the founders of the 13 Clans of Vampire.
The Masquerade: The one rule almost all vampires everywhere follow. The Masquerade is the deception of vampire existence to humankind, and maintaining it is paramount to everything you do AS a vampire. Humans must never, ever, ever know.
Each Clan has their own unique powers, and like. Vibe to them. (As they are the types of vampire you can choose to play in your games.)
When you are Embraced (turned into a vampire), you become the Clan you were Embrace by, ie, a Nosferatu will make another Nosferatu, a Gangrel a Gangrel. So yes, it IS a breed of vampire.
The Clans are as follows (to the best of my description lol):
Ventrue: The powerful lords of vampires, bluebloods, they desire power and to dominate others. They're behind CEOs and polititians, controlling a lot of the vampire political landscape. Their Thing is that they can only drink specific kinds of blood, a blood restriction, say, only the blood of blue eyed men, or something. you can choose what that restriction is with your character. (also this is Berd's least favorite, and I'll go into detail why further down)
Toreador: The Clan of the Rose, ie, the pretty ones. Toreador are the cultural influencers of the vampire world, and while not exclusive to, they ARE incredibly dug into the arts. Typically associated with fashion as they want to keep up with and make the latest trends in the world. Their powers are...literally being so fucking pretty. A siren-like ability, which goes just as much for the men, too.
Brujah: The Clan of the rebels! The Brujah are a clan of rabble-rouses who hate the system and want to see the world into a utopia of humans and vampires, but getting there is gonna be a chore. The Brujah's deal is that they're punks, and that means supernatural anger to go with it. They rage. Hard.
Malkavian: The Clan of the Moon, they get literal visions and whispers of the Beyond, information from outside of what any person can pick up on the street. They're literally a clan of mad oracles, driven to their derangement by the vampiric blood. A Malk's particular way of receiving this information can range from perceiving the reporter on tv telling them so, to getting flashes of visions from reading a newspaper.
Gangrel: A Clan where you kinda wanted to play a werewolf, but also a vampire. Gangrel lean into the beastial side of vampire lore, being able to best control and even transform into animals. I don't have a lot to say about Gangrel, they're a pretty straightforward clan as far as things go.
Nosferatu: The Clan of the Hidden. As the name implies, the curse of vampirism affects them by twisting their bodies into hideous forms they cannot undo or reverse with any kind of magic. Named so bc a lot of them end up looking like Max Schreck's Count Orloc. Most Nosferatu cannot participate in the wider world because of their looks endangering vampirekind, so they form large networks below cities, occupying old sewer and tram systems, forming 'Warrens'. Their Thing is that they possess very powerful invisibility powers, and have set up large subinternet networks, making them master spies and information farmers. The Nosferatu know everything about everything...as long a you're willing to trade a secret for a secret. (This is my favorite clan, if you can't tell :>)
Tremere: Nobody likes Tremere. Ok, that's not true, bad me. But they are...standouts in the vampire world (ask me about their lore, it's...wild). Tremere are blood mages, using Thaumaturgy (blood magic) to do dark rituals and keep their magic knowledge in the clan. They're essentially your 'casting class' in the game.
Ok, so, that's not even half of them, as you can count, but this is getting long, and these are all the 'major' clans that most people tend to play. I will be passing off this post to @berd-alert to tell you about the other smaller but JUST as interesting clans, but here is also a short overview of the world the WoD vampires exist in:
The clans all belong to larger political 'factions'. (Again, ask me more about the lore if you want a more in-depth explantion). These factions are based on ideologies of how vampires should interact with the human world
The Camarilla: what's considered 'mainstream' vampire, or 'Kindred' society. Every city will have an Elysium, where the Prince (can be a person of any gender, that's just the title) will preside over their court, being whatever vampires claim allegence with the Camarilla in that particular city, or, 'domain.' The Cam rule their worlds with very firm rules about interacting with humans, or 'kine'. You're expected to follow these rules and receive protection and order....or face severe and swift consequences should you put a toe out of line and someone hears about it.
The Anarchs: pretty much what it says on the box. The Anarchs oppose the Camarilla and their deadly rules, the only one they want to follow being 'don't break the Masquerade'. Full of the young, the boisterous, the new, hot blood eager to destroy the old system and build something new.
The Sabbat: these vampires say hang the rules all together, fuck the Masquerade, humans are prey or playthings, and vampires being stronger and immortal should rule the world. pretty much, if you want to play a vampire who loves blood and destruction, ie an evil player game (bc those are always fun heheh) this is the faction for you.
WOOF, OK, I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT. Again, if you have specific questions, just ask me or Berd bc they're just as deep into this as I am, and knows lots of cool, intricate lore. But that's about it for right now! I highly reccomed looking up some youtube videos about this, as there is a TON of supplementary and educational videos out there for it! And also a video game, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, which is from 2004 and an INCREDIBLE cult-classic, to match the Lost Boys in terms of iconic vampire media.
Love you Cherry!!!

A LIST OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO HELL: 2023 EDITION, LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!
Tumblr media
Anybody that's still dick gobblin JK Rowling. At this point yall can't be saved. Perish. Yall be going two hand twist Teanna Trump full throttle on her shit 24/7 365 and for what? A children's book series that really should have stopped being relevant the second yall heard the bitch was bumping coochies with terfs on Twitter dot com? Be serious
Anybody that defended Tory Lanez. But especially the niggas that were 10 toes down and nipple deep in conspiracy theories because they were too pussy to admit they just wanted to participate in the harassment of a Black woman. You going to the hottest part of hell if you really believe that "roc nation got him!" Or any other bullshit
White leftists who hold zero community with Black people either online or irl but wanna act like world renowned Doctors of Niggalogy the second they hear about anything a Black leftist is doing. I'm fitting yall for some gasoline draws as we speak
White tiktokkers. Yall showed yall ass so bad last year that you all gotta go at this point. Yall getting packed like sardines and will be down there within 2 to 3 business minutes
Like 99.999999999999999% of anime/manga fans. You niggas are so deeply unserious about everything to the point where a prominent figure in the anime news community was exposed for being a literal "ex" neo nazi and yall tried to sneak forgive him 2 months later because "everyone makes mistakes" you're spineless and weak and I'm spitting in your eye before I pull the lever to the flaming depths below
Speaking of anime, anyone who was involved with anime abridged series but especially in the 2010s. Yall are going to the front of the line. I ain't forget what yall was doing with Canary from hxh
Anybody who is ridiculously overly critical of the "state of female rap" but refuse to speak on these mid tier male rappers that be stinking up the girls records with they features
Paula Abdul and Jlo. They both know why.
Anyone who makes Ike and Tina/Whitney and Bobby jokes
Anyone who thinks up north and Cali aren't racist. 9 times outta 10 you are the embodiment of northerner/cali racists we be talkin about
Anyone who argues that slur reclamation makes a word not a slur anymore. A. That's not how that works B. Now I know why yall wanna say nigga so bad
Anybody who still listens to them nsfw anime boyfriend audios on the public library computers. You and the dude on xvideos a seat over from you are 2 sides of the same coin
Batman "fans" who say shit like "why doesn't he just kill the joker?" Yall add nothing new to the conversation like ever and its literally painful to talk to you
Anyone who takes hoteps, Dr. Umar, or DJ akademiks seriously. You was born a fool and you'll die a fool
Niggas with podcasts. Enough
Whoever keeps coming up with them twitter hypotheticals that rule every conversation within the Black community for a solid week. I'm convinced you are a psyop tasked with sowing chaos within the Black community. You must be terminated.
Anybody who recommends me corny ass cornball corn on the cob ass media then expect me to like it. Cause like....what you trying to say?
VAUSH
Yall nbs who keep jumping up to defend raceplay/slaveplay in any kink based controversy on here even though nobody was fuckin talkin about raceplay/slaveplay
Reylos. Self explanatory.
Booktokkers and Booktok authors
Niggas who eat chitlins but are picky about other food. Slurp them doodoo noodles in hell, babes.
People who think "blackwashing" is real. Self explanatory.
Men who look like they smell like cold spit and earring backs who talk cash shit about fat women. Yall gonna be roasted on a spit and I'll be turning it.
Pickmes. You've finally been picked! To burn in the lake of fire for all eternity.
And finally, anybody and I mean ANYONE who is still doing stupid shit like licking subway poles for attention. I hope all 8 million diseases of the naked city on that damn pole attack your immune system and breaks you down on a molecular level till theres nothing left.

Thoughts on this week’s episode of the Mandalorian:
Watching the recap at the start of the episode and VERY AGGRESSIVE REMINDER that Bo-Katan called Din “brother” when they first met please please god do not make them have a romance 😭
If any of y’all know Doctor Who,,, these starfish things look like fucked up Oods
Imperial Mandalorians???? What the fuck??
Why is there melodrama. Why are these aliens so fucking ugly
Once again that’s just earth when will we get some decent fuckin out of orbit planet designs
GROGU <3333 DIN <33333
begging for the pattern to continue from last season with the helmet removal increases pls let Din take his helmet off today
I love that Din is having his name used more it’s so fun
These walls are so white I am fucking BLIND
JACK BLACK???? JACK MOTHERFUCKING BLACK??? OF MARIO MOVIE FAME?!?!? WHY ARE YOU HERE???
Grogu my fucking beloved
I seriously can’t get over this I love his beard but fr why the fuck is Jack Black here
Grogu loves his pets omfg <33
Not the fucking Jerry Maguire reference I hate him <3
Still can’t get over the fact that Jack Black is canonically in Star Wars
Din once again being prejudiced against droids it’s really stupid lmao
A Kuill reference?? 2 seasons after he died?? Damn
hehehe Clone Wars reference
Din has another concussion that’s fantastic
We’re finally back to this being the Mando show with Bo Katan as a side character and I can’t even begin to tell y’all how happy that makes me
This place looks like it was inspired by Tokyo that’s really cool
Fuckin yEET
oooo the girls are fightinggg
what the fuck how do Droids drink
I love when he gets violent <3
… Droid race allegory?
The droids drink lube that is so fucking dumb
Droid morgue????
DARK SABER DIN!!!!!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
god he is so,,,, he’s hot I can’t be argued with on that
woww big surprise that the guy that was so obviously evil is evil
was that. was that a Keanu Reeves lookalike
I hate old people
Slay good job Bo Katan <3
BUG!!! BUG BALL!!!
GROGU HE IS SO FUCKING <33333
yay Jack Black is back
they get a key? for all that?
That’s a big fucking key what the hell
Grogu gets a knighthood and he didn’t even do anything I love that for him
THE WAVE 😭😭😭
Din this will be so simple just pull out the fuckin Darksaber
hehehe Bo Katan gets to be a badass that’s fun
Din fr you can stop this so easily just. Darksaber it’s not that hard
At least give him some popcorn if he’s just gonna watch goddamn
… kinky
Din. Beat his ass. Beat his fucking ass you deserve it
Din keep the fucking saber you know how it works
DIN. KEEP. THE. FUCKING. SABER.
Don’t let him give it away I’m gonna get so mad I know he doesn’t want it but HES SO HOT WITH IT THEYRE PLAYING HIS THEME AND EVERYTHING
Fuck this show. Fuck this show. Let him keep the saber. FUCK THIS SHOW I AM SO GODDAMN MAD RN
Can’t believe I was like oh this is the Mando show again bUT NO
HE DIDNT EVEN TAKE THE HELMET OFF I AM SO FUCKINGGG PISSED
Begging this to be a misdirection and the Darksaber will actually reject Bo Katan and force her to give it back to Din and that the last two episodes are good
Im so fucking mad at this episode i hate that fucking ending god fucking dammit Din deserves so much better, Pedro Pascal deserves so much better this is the show that truly got him into the spotlight and his character is being treated like shit and he doesn’t deserve it
I hate this episode but I had fun for the first 3/4 of it so I’m giving it a 6/10 overall it would’ve been much higher if Din didn’t give Bo Katan the fucking Darksaber
The worst part is that him desperately and easily giving away any semblance of power to Bo Katan fits his character it fits his character so well but that’s not how the last two seasons and TBoBF set up his arc and that’s why I’m so mad about it and hope it’s a misdirection
If it’s not a misdirection I honestly can’t say that I’ll come back for s4. I love this show and I love the characters but I would much rather live a life of pretending the fan fictions are canon than watch the show dig itself into a hole it can’t escape and ruin all the characters I love
And I don’t hate Bo Katan I like her and I like that they’re setting up her and Din not getting along very well anymore that’s good but i don’t think the way they’re treating her should be so prevalent considering the other things she’s in, she can have this arc in a different show or hell even her own show it doesn’t have to be in Mando
I’m gonna stick around until the season finishes but if it doesn’t get any better I’m not gonna come back for season 4 unless Tumblr says it’s absolutely amazing or some shit I just can’t take this disappointment anymore
Final comment: good episode when you ignore the ending, the ending was shit. Jack Black was the peak of the episode, but Grogu and Din (especially with the Darksaber!!) were also great and I am very much ignoring the end of the episode it’s not real if I don’t look at it

Hi, Kay!💗💗💗For DVD commentary ask game I’ve chosen this brain-melting part of Strawberry wine Ch14❤️‍🔥😏 if you please of course
There’s the shuffling of fabric, the clink of his belt buckle, the front of his thighs pressed to the backs of yours. You turn your head slightly, just enough to see him, the hem of his t-shirt tucked between his teeth, his cock in his hand. The sight alone makes you clench around his fingers, biting your lip as he pulls them out. They dig into the meat of your ass a moment later, spreading you open just a touch more. His thumb stays where it is, and you watch, stomach coiled in anticipation as he leans forward just slightly, drops his jaw until the t-shirt falls from his mouth, and spits.
It lands right where his thumb is, slides down over where you’re already drenched, and he flexes his hips forward. You try to bury your moan in his pillow, but Joel reaches down with his other hand, fists your hair in his hand, tugs a little.
“I wanna hear you, baby.”
“The neighbours—”
“I don’t give a fuck, Liv. Let me hear you.”
A choked moan falls out as he slams all the way forward, burying himself to the hilt, his thumb pressing down at the same time. You keep your face to the side, keep your eyes trained on his. He lets go of your hair just to take hold of your hip, pulling back just to slam forward again, the feeling and movement making your thighs shake.
“Joel, fuck—”
“That’s right,” he grits, and his pace only gets faster, the apartment filling with the sound of skin on skin. It drives you wild. “That’s fuckin’ right. Say it again.”
He spanks you again, just that much harder, and you cum.
hi lovely!!
oh it's like THAT OKAY HERE WE GOOOOOOOO
(dvd commentary asks - send me more!!)
what was I thinking? well, honestly I was mostly thinking how badly I'd like to be railed into next week by Joel Miller (which happens as often as plot allows in Strawberry Wine, let's be real) but it was also a way of giving Joel and Liv a little taste of domesticity within the confines that is the outbreak.
(more under the cut cuz it's rambling time)
leading up to this, they're having dinner with Tommy and Tess. they're flirty, they're touchy, Joel's muttering in Liv's ear how badly he just wants to rip her clothes off and fuck her. context wise, I thought it was a fun little lead in to some fiery smut, cuz really, you could take this scene out, take away all the blood and guts and angst, and this could have been pre-outbreak, or could happen in a world where they're not fighting for their lives every single day.
what's going on in their heads? well, I think it's pretty clear what's going through Joel's head. sw!Joel isn't a total dom, per se, but he does have his moments, and despite the fact that the world literally ended and he wandered across the damn country to find Liv again, they're still exploring each other.
really and truly, they didn't get a lot of time together before Liv had to leave for Boston, and then just when there's the inkling of maybe something will happen again (it was never explicitly said, but in my head, the phone call they have the day of the outbreak would have lead into Liv maybe going back to Austin to be with Joel if the world hadn't imploded). so really, they didn't get a LOT of time to explore things (in the bedroom if u feel me) because shit just got in the way. so when Joel puts his thumb there, he's testing things.
obviously if Liv had shown ANY sign of not being into it, he would have stopped, but obviously they were both having a good time ✌️

Barely a Cammi-o Appearance
Hey there, Iron Man's undergarments. We're down to the wire! Last three issues of Avengers Arena, starting now! Let's fucking goooooooo~!
Here's the cover:
Tumblr media
Honestly, kind of a cool cover. And somehow, judging from my research (i.e. checking the "Shout-Outs" section of TVTropes), this one isn't based on a particular movie or anything, unlike so many covers before it. I guess it's just really echoing that style really well. Thankfully, there is actually remarkably little lust in these comics. A bit too much blood, though, and not nearly enough jetpacks. Also, I know the style of these has always been "I was a teenage X", but "was" implies past tense. Cammi is still very much a teenage astrogirl. That didn't stop being a thing that was true or anything~
So, last time we had a big dumb fight scene with Cullen as a monster that ended in Nara's death. Once again, it's kind of hard to be broken up over this OC that was only introduced in this comic and has been kind of obnoxious throughout the story. Understandably, though, Anachronism isn't taking it well. I'm gonna skip over this first page of Arcade monologuing about the value of slow burn stories (I'd like to slowly burn this story, let me tell you), because I truly do not care, and just get to the part where Anachronism swings his axe into Cullen's stomach.
Thankfully, it doesn't result in another death (although it probably should), though it does result in copious amounts of blood. Just as the cover promised! Cullen thinks he deserves it anyways, because he's on his mopey emo teen kick, where he's secretly in love with his best friend, therefore his best friend should kill him for killing his girlfriend. Real fuckin' tragic stuff. Cammi breaks up the fight by shooting Anachronism with her laser gun, which somehow has enough force to send him flying.
Meanwhile, Nico has correctly concluded that everything sucks in this story, so the time for nice and making friends is over. All it got her last time was dead, so she and Chase blast Reptil aside, then she goes rocketing into the ocean with Cullen. Also meanwhile, Hazmat turns up alive, her radiation suit and probably also her stomach wounds leaking heavily. She stumbles across X-23 unconscious in the forest, and tries to move as quickly as she can away from her. But the lingering trigger scent and her wounds rouse X-23 to consciousness. That's not gonna be good for anybody.
So those two duke it out, which actually loops back around to how this all began. Yeah! You remember the very first issue starting with a fight between X-23 and Hazmat? I don't blame you if you don't, I wanna put every thought of that issue out of my head too. But this is that fight, right down to Hazmat's inner monologue about being a hater, which has only become more tiresome in the months since. If this was something we cared about, it'd be a satisfying narrative thing to see the story finally cycle back around to its foreshadowing. But instead it's this story.
Anyways, watching the fight is Arcade, of course, but watching him watch the fight? Hey, you remember that bit where Apex and Deathlocket fell into his lair? Hey, we're finally coming back to that. The pair of them have been hiding in the duct work this whole time, observing Arcade and learning his routine. Hey, you remember how Arcade is a nanite-infused god? Why hasn't he noticed them? Hey, you remember how Apex is a technopath? Why can't she control Arcade's nanites? It's almost like this isn't a very good story~
So Apex and Tim are switching back and forth almost comically now, essentially to carry an argument with each other. I've no doubt alters argue with each other sometimes, but my problem is the ease of their switching, when it took unconsciousness for them to switch before. But if I keep complaining about every detail, we'll never get this review done. We're three paragraphs deep, and I haven't progressed the plot at all! Anyways, the point is that they've repaied and upgraded Deathlocket's cannon arm. Locket gets as annoyed with their arguing as the reader is and decides to head off and put a plan into action.
The plan is maybe Apex/Tim can hack into Arcade's systems, they just need him distracted enough to do so. Locket first tries letting some of the animals loose, but Arcade's robot assistant just rounds them up. She upgrades to actually breaking stuff, but he sends the robot in to deal with it again. Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories? She picks up Kid Briton's sword and cleaves the robot in twain, but gets startled by one of the other bodies in the storage room. It's Darkhawk, and he's still alive! Seeing him roused from death makes her scream, which is finally enough to get Arcade off his ass to check on things himself.
With Arcade having left his creepy observation deck, Apex swings into action. Or at least she tries, since Tim keeps switching in to argue that they should go check on Deathlocket. That scream sounded real, and she could be in trouble. Once she gets Tim off her back (with a lot of insufferable British slang, by the way), she manages to break into Arcade's network, only to then set off one of his firewalls, which is just him ripping off a similar thing from Jurassic Park, right down to the finger-wagging.
Tumblr media
So Arcade comes back in, leading a shocked Deathlocket, and doing his smuggy-smug superior taunting stuff. He's a little impressed they're down here, thinking they were already dead, and he just has them have a seat while he watches more of his teens-fighting-teens spank bank. Nico's still dragging Cullen through the ocean, Cammi has Chase at gunpoint, Anachronism's fighting a triceratops for some reason... And while he's gloating at how beautiful it all is that he's finally pushed everyone over the brink, the comic ends with Arcade getting clubbed over the head by Darkhawk, now fully conscious and mobile! Oh, finally an issue with a good ending~
Well, I could complain about how this is another dumb fight scene issue, or how even the parts that aren’t are annoying because of the constant bickering between Tim and Apex. Or even Apex being annoying all by herself by a combination of her smug attitude (only a hair under Arcade’s own) and the need to remind you she’s English by shoving in Britishisms into every dialogue balloon to the point she sounds like an old-timey Cockney thief character. But honestly, that last panel with Darkhawk standing over Arcade brandishing a weapon is just so satisfying... I can’t wait to see how they ruin this moment next issue~

Mood of the day: I'm physically calm, but mentally jittery and I need to run and scream. Those RSD vibes are so strong, man. I'm straight up not having a good time.
We should all get together and create the best, awful piece of music we can come up with. My brain is like a pie chart with ideas. Here's what I got:
Whatever the fuck Aphex Twin was doing with Come to Daddy.
The sounds of the damned just wailing in a corn field with droning ambience.
Something just upbeat and fun like what Weezer has been doing with the SZNZ collection. It's the summer jam beat we all need, and the lyrics? Well? That's for you to decide!
True straight up danger music. Screaming and shouting so guttural and inhuman that they'll be calling the cops from the other side of town. Breaking glass. Throwing barrels and bricks. Tearing out skin off. Someone might have to volunteer to get their spine ripped out and there may be molotovs.
Two hours of wall noise.
An hour hardcore breakdown of John Cage 4'33.
Dueling electric banjos.
Aggressively banging and strumming away at anything we have. We can used turned over industrial drums and go to town.
I don't know, guys. We just need to do it. Do something. Say anything. Say something. Throw out all the rules about musical theory and the circle of fifths. Amateur shit. Let's just fuckin goooooooo.
