hi, sorry to bother you but i just saw your reblog ab jimmy saville - what was the jim'll fix it reference in s1?

No probs. It would have slipped past a lot of people who weren't familiar with the pre-2012 UK cultural context surrounding the phrase.

From Ariane de Vere's series of Sherlock script transcripts, here's the pertinent dialogue from the end of s1e3, "The Great Game":

JIM: I’ve given you a glimpse, Sherlock, just a teensy glimpse of what I’ve got going on out there in the big bad world. I’m a specialist, you see ... (He looks surprised, as if he has only just realised the connection.) JIM: ... like you! SHERLOCK: “'Dear Jim. Please will you fix it for me to get rid of my lover’s nasty sister?'” (Starting to walk forward again, Jim grins, clearly recognising the TV show and catchphrase that Sherlock is quoting.) [See footnotes] SHERLOCK: “'Dear Jim. Please will you fix it for me to disappear to South America?'” JIM (stopping again): Just so. SHERLOCK: Consulting criminal. (softly) Brilliant.

Below this, Ariane adds, in a footnote:

"(1) “Dear Jim”: Sherlock is mock-quoting a standard format from a very well-known TV show called “Jim’ll Fix It” which ran on the BBC from 1975 to 1994 and was hosted by Jimmy Savile. Viewers – mostly children – would write to the show and would always begin their letter, “Dear Jim, please can you fix it for me to ...” and would ask for their wildest dream to be met, e.g. to be a train driver for a day, or to meet their favourite athlete, or to work in a chocolate factory for a few hours. Nowadays we would all be writing in and saying, “Dear Jim, please can you fix it for me to meet Benedict Cumberbatch/Martin Freeman,” or “... to be the make-up girl on the next season of ‘Sherlock’,”...etc.

"In a rather unfortunate piece of timing, within the last couple of weeks (in mid-October 2012 when this transcript was published) the reputation of the late Jimmy Savile has plummeted after terrible allegations have recently surfaced about his behaviour during his years at the BBC. If you haven’t heard of this show before, now is not the time to be googling it."

...Full info about the investigations into Savile’s conduct can be found on the subject's Wikipedia page. But tl:dr; over decades, Savile had literally become a household name secondary to his TV work (this being why to UK viewers the phrase that Sherlock's mock-quoting would have instantly been familiar: it had more or less passed into the language). Savile used his media profile and his history of philanthropic work to help hide his abuse (of literally hundreds of people) and effectively shield him from investigation until he died.

Anyway. When the lines above were written for s1e3, they could pass as a joke (if, at that point, only beginning to be a dark one: not that many people knew about, or took at all seriously, the Sun’s 2008-ish allegations regarding Savile). But the lines haven't dated particularly well.

Naturally there’s no way to predict when some real-world occurrence is going to render something you’ve written nonsensical or problematic. Yet often enough since, I've watched TGG and thought, "Boy, if I'd written that, I'd give anything to go back in time, get my hands on that script before it goes in front of the cameras, and get rid of those lines..." Because every time a present-time viewer aware of who "the other Jim" is hears them, with what we now know, it strikes a really ugly and distracting note. (And I have to add that since the revelations about Savile starting coming out, I haven't heard anyone over here use that phrase again... so it really jumps out at you.)

...At any rate: HTH.

Meant To Be - Loki x Fem! Reader

Summary: Much to your displeasure, your parents have promised you away to the God of Mischief of all people.

Tags: Arranged Marriage AU, Light Elf! Reader

Warnings: Aside from Loki hating himself, nothing.

Words: 2878

I Masterlist I

A/N: Some good old-fashioned, ‘redeemed after The Avengers and the other movies didn’t happen’ Loki. Like, really cheesy, self-indulgent 2012 stuff. I just want to ignore all misery that happens in the series okay?

“Ew! Stop it!”

You were eight at the time when you and Loki first met, by means of negotiation between both your parents.

If only you knew that this encounter should be the first impression of what should be your husband in the near future...

Frigga and Odin could only plead for their son to be on his best behavior - but well, it’s the God of Mischief we’re talking about. Must be hard to inherit such a title from your very birth.

Just when you put the little bonquet of flowers he had picked up for you towards your face to admire it, several little spiders emerged from the blossoms.

“You’re no fun.” The raven-haired boy stood a safe distance away from you, arms crossed as his gleeful laughter turned into a broad sulk. "And your ears are weird.”

“I hate you!” you screeched in your childish rage, throwing the flowers to the ground and trampling onto them. “Where’s your brother? Thor is way nicer than you!”

“Well, why don’t you marry him then?!” he mocked to cover up his hurt pride, picking up a handful of dirt and throwing it in your direction. 

“I don’t need any friends anyway...” the little boy whispered to himself, running away from the scene with tears filling the corner of his eyes. 

“I don’t need anyone. I’m way better than all of them!”

Not even Frigga was fast enough to catch up with him, while Odin uttered some fake apologies to your parents, promising them that everything will go as planned.

You on the other hand were running towards your mother, tightly grabbing onto her dress. “He’s mean! I wanna go home!”

As Queen of the Light Elves, your mother was a being full of grace and composure - and you were hoping to one day become such a formidable person as well.

She bowed down to your height, petting your hair as you rubbed the mixture of tears and dirt from your cheeks. Just her bright smile alone would sometimes be enough to make you forget about your worries - but not today.

“My sweet child” she cooed, cradling you in her arms. “One day you’ll understand.”

However, this would be the last time you paid Asgard a visit - at least until now. Because no matter how deeply you wished to never meet him again, the words your mother spoke on that day haunted you all those years:

“For this is your duty as a princess.”

[Present Day - Asgard]

It felt so unreal when you stuck your head outside of the wooden carriage, the wind playing with your hair as your glare wandered over the rainbow bridge you were crossing.

Silence strained the air, your parents unable to do even so much as look into your eyes. Hel, how you wished this was only a dream.

Behind you was a whole company of Light Elves, transporting all of your belongings to what should be your homecountry from now on.

Now there was no way back, that much was sure.

You were supposed to meet your soon-to-be husband on that very same day, one day before your wedding to be precize.

One could only guess why you weren’t allowed to visit Asgard again for all those years, even though you were practically born just for this reason - for this person.

To become Loki’s bride was your involuntary purpose, and you couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to be truly free.

Maybe your parents thought the God of Mischief to have a bad influence on their growing daughter, pulling you into his harmless yet dishonorable schemes. Or they simply feared you to refuse marrying said man if you got to know him better, finding out just what kind of person you were promised to.

Not that your parents were pleased either...everyone in the Nine Realms knew the stories.

To Odin, there was no point in hiding the disgrace his adoptive son had brought over Asgard. Not only was he responsible for an attack on Midgard, sacrificing thousands of lives for his own sake, drunken by greed for power.

But all of you were shocked to hear that Loki Odinson - or rather Laufeyson - was never Asgardian to begin with.

A Frost Giant.

Among your kind, they were known to be one of the most terrible abominations in the nine realms, and murderer of countless of your kind - and this should be the father to your future children?

Only thinking about this cruel twist of fate made you want to vomit...

So why did you agree to proceed with the preparations as if nothing had happened? How in Alfheim’s name could you reject their offer to wed you to Thor instead of that lunatic?

Was it that through your upbringing and royal duties, you had lost your own free will? Or simply fear of stepping aside the path that everyone had prepared for you?

It was probably the fact that you didn’t want to get into true love’s way...you and Thor stayed in brief contact through Heimdall, and you just knew how much that human girl meant to him.

You were kinda jealous, though...the concept of being in love was foreign to you, having a vague idea of it from novels only. But real life just wasn’t meant to be that was, was it?

You couldn’t escape your fate, that was what it was - for this treaty would unite both kingdoms, bringing peace and wealth for all of their inhabitants.

No way you could be so selfish as to decline...even if it meant you had to suffer for the rest of your life.

“My Ladyship, we have arrived!” a guard spoke as he knocked on the carriage door, with your parents hinting that you needed to step out first.

The very same guard now yelled from the pit of his lungs, making you feel the whole Kingdom of Asgard could hear. “Now arriving: Lady Y/N Y/L/N, eldest Princess of Alfheim and heir to the throne.”

You heared the people whispering as you took your first, insecure steps, blinded by the bright daylight.

“She’s so pale, like ice” or “Why are her ears like that?” were rather nice comments compared to others plainly calling you ugly, scary or a ‘disgrace’.

Of course your Kingdoms had been in a war for several decades, but this was long in the past - before your very birth, even. So what’s the reason you should bear with such hostility in the place everyone expected you to call ‘home’ from now on?

One thing was clear from the very beginning: You would never belong here.

“May I?” a dark, husky voice interrupted your self-pitying. You blinked heavily, still trying to adjust to all those golden surroundings, until your blurry vision finally cleared up.

“C’mon.” The voice belonged to the man in front of you, looking gravely nervous with sweat dripping from his forehead. He was reaching out a hand for you to take, and you gladly accepted since you didn’t want to embarass yourself further by falling out of the carriage.

And still, you managed to somehow miss a step and fall right into his arms. “Oh my, so clumsy” the man snickered as he catched you, clearing his throat as you grabbed onto his chest to regain balance. "Not very graceful for someone of your status.”

“And you are-” The words got stuck in your throat when you stared back into those eyes, their emerald green awaking memories you’d rather forgotten entirely. “L-Loki!”

“Exactly, my dear. The one and only.” Smooth and calm, he  pecked a kiss on the back of your hand, andyou couldn’t help but admire just how well he had aged: His wild locks were combed back, sharp features complimenting his face as he tried his best to give you his most innocent smile.

Yet you kept your guard up, always expecting him to somehow embarass you just for the fun of it. “When it comes to him, always expect the unexpected” Thor once warned you, and you won’t forget about it that easily.

“It’s a pleasure finally meeting you” was your firm declaration, only to be rewarded with a scoff. “You are speaking to the God of Lies, Lady Y/N - there is no use in trying to deceive me” he whispered into your ear, making you shiver in unpleasant anticipation.

“Carry her belongings to my rooms” he dismissed the servants with a simple gesture of his hand, offering his other arm for you to cling on as he escorted you through the palace.

The giant halls were almost empty, nothing like back on Alfheim where you and your brethren would enjoy each other’s company in midst of nature. A sole tear escaped your eye when you thought back to those carefree days, which are now over.

“Are you alright, m’lady?” Much to your surprise, your fiancé sounded honestly concerned about your well-being. “If you are tired, we can postpone our tour of the palace until you’ve rested.”

 “May I speak from the heart?” You gulped after finishing that sentence, scaring yourself with all the stories you’ve heared about this mad troublemaker.

Somehow you had the feeling that if you were to overstep your boundaries with that brute, it would have consequences beyond your imagination. He might seem generous and polite right this moment, but what would someone like him do if you enrage him? Countless images were circling in your head, one worse than the other.

Loki furrowed his brows, exhalinge deeply. For him, your expression was an open book to what you were thinking right now.

“Y/N, my dear Lady, if you want it or not: Starting tomorrow, we share a bond. I am deeply sorry that a veritable flower as you are had to end up with someone like me, but I promise to treat you as well as possible.”

Turning around so you’d not detect how it hurt him to speak from the heart, he added with a shaky voice “Yet there is no reason for you to hold back your hatred for me. No harm will come your way, I swear upon the little honor I have left.”

Even though his words made you feel a deep sympathy with the god, you weren’t quite sure if you could decipher truth or deceit in them. Maybe he just wanted to lure you into saying what you truly thought of him?

He’s right - you will have to spend the rest of your life with him, so don’t mess this up from the very start!

“I-I don’t hate you!” was the first thing you blurted out, grabbing onto his cloak. Loki turned around, rising his eyebrow as he scanned your face for any hint of a lie.

Althrough it was the truth, at least to a certain extend. You’ve seen each other only once, when you were still little. The rest is all tales and rumours, but you personally don’t have a reason to despise him.

There was no way you could promise to accept his past or heritage, let alone forgive him - yet as long as he’d treat you with respect, you’d return the favour.

“T-There’s just a question on my mind this whole time...aren’t you mad? I-I mean someone like- well...like you...” you gestured around awkardly, almost making him crack a smile. “I mean...I thought you wouldn’t let your parents dictate your life.”

Another deep sigh escaping his mouth, this times with his eyes closed. “This isn’t about Asgard or my adoptive parents. I choose my own path.”

Suddenly, Loki wrapped one arm around you, flicking his fingers with the free one.

“Hold onto me” he ordered indifferent as he casted his spell, teleporting both of you away before you could even comprehend, let alone ask him what he was doing.

It happened in the fraction of a second, yet felt like hovering through an empty space for an eternity.

“Now open your eyes.” You hadn’t even realized that you squeezed them shut during the shift, slowly opening them while Loki lifted your chin with his index finger.

The environment was magnificent. Had you ever seen something this beautiful in your whole life?

Obviously you had no clue where you were, but this was the first time seeing so much untouched nature on Asgard. There were flowers blooming in all colours imagineable, clear rivers crossing the lands in between grassy hills, and animals nearby a small forrest.

“It’s not like I didn’t educate myself about the Light Elves and their way of living” Loki stammered, unconsciously intertwining your fingers with yours as he watched you admiring the view. “So I could make you comfortable here, I mean.”

He plummeted down on the grass, still a little wet from the morning dew, and gestured for you to do the same. It was weird, actually, but also somehow adorable - how the infamous ‘Silver Tongue’ had lost his ability with words. “I’ve done very little right in my life full of wrongs. Hurt a lot of people.”

“Mmmhh” you hummed approvingly, not knowing what else to say - yet for some reason, you didn’t let go off of his hand, squeezing it ever so slightly.

“And even though I can’t possibly redeem myself, I wish to change for the better.” he muttered, rubbing the back of his head. “I just never knew how to start.”

Loki Odinson really was full of surprises. He was nothing like the child you’ve met long ago, and the complete opposite of what you imagined the ‘God of Mischief’ to be.

You had expected a power-hungry, selfish and cruel man to wed you - and yet there he was: Insecure and broken, only a shell of the person he once was.

Just what had you missed all those years? What things happened to break someone’s will like this?

And was he truly beyond repair?

“Those past weeks, I have visited Alfheim more times than you could comprehend” he giggled nervously, avoiding your eyes. “Concealed, of course.”

Well, that sounded kind of weird, but you knew better than to talk someone down who was just opening up to you. So your sole answer was “What for?”

“There was no way a criminal like me would still be seemed fit for this ceremony - and yet I was given this chance anyway. My mother told me that it was you who insisted on carrying on the arrangement, so...I just wanted to know what person would be willingly ruin their life.”

Something different was shining through the god’s orbs, and you couldn’t quite decipher it. Was it hope? Hope, that if you had given him a chance, his life could lead into a different direction? To change himself from the burden that was his birth title?

“I-I guess I don’t want to mess this up like I always do” he whimpered barely audible, before staring at you in shock and embarassment. Until now, he hadn’t realized just how vulnerable he made himself.

Just what the hell would you think about him now? You probably had lost any respect, or thought himself to be crazy. How weak...

So he was quick to put on the confident facade again, wearing his smug grin as if that all was just part of a big joke only he’d understand. But even though you barely knew him, he couldn’t fool you.

“Sometimes it’s enough just to try.” Your head turned from the sight of nature to your fiancé and back several times, before you brought up the courage and put a hand on his shoulder, whispering “So you can’t really mess this up.”

“Gladly you don’t seem to know yet just how much misery I cause.” He kept that thought to himself, to not scare you away.

“I am aware that you could never love someone like me, Y/N. But I can provide for you, dedicate myself to making you content with being my wife. My newfound purpose.”

The purpose of a war criminal - that sure put yourself under a lot of pressure. And still, it made you somewhat proud, and grateful as well. Because it was the first time someone valued you as a person, and not the princess of Alfheim.

Unaware of how much time had passed, both of you would get used to each other’s presence in silence, enjoying the nature while you processed this eventful day.

Exhausted from the long travel and all that rollercoaster of emotion, you soon found yourself dazzling into sleep onto Loki’s shoulder. If only you could see him adore you, staring in awe that someone could actually feel so safe in his presence.

Carefully, the god picked you up, gently lifting you on his arms to make your way back to the palace, where everyone was frantically searching for both of you. Well, Loki was used to trouble -  but right now, it was worth it.

May it be right or wrong, and even though you couldn’t explain this sentiment, you had a good feeling when it came to the things that were just about to come.

“You won’t regret your decision, Y/N Y/L/N. On my side, I assure you a bright future.”

.

I could feel the bottom of my dress start to crawl its way back up my legs before I quickly push it back down. Working a skin-tight black short sleeved dress would not be easy as I felt handfuls of eyes analyze my outfit I had planned for days. Just as my dignity began to slip away, my best friend Morgan pushes through the sea of students and embraces me, making the fear of other opinions disappear.

“My lord (Y/n) you look hot!” She exclaims as she looks at me from head to toe and me doing the same.

“So do you! God this is gonna be our year I can feel it”.

The sound of the bell cut our conversation short and we both quickly sped-walked towards the nearby set of stairs. We exchanged schedules and as my eyes scanned through the list of teachers, my eyes caught one in particular.

“No way, you have Mr. (T/C) second period too?!” I ask excitedly.

“You do too! Ugh I am so happy I have one saving grace in this god awful hell hole!”

Realizing what time it was, we parted ways to our first classes, but agreed to try and sit by each other in the next. After a forty-minute introduction speech about my new math teacher, I was off to find room 315 on the third floor. Luckily for me, Mo was waiting for me in the back corner of the end of a hallway.

“There you are, here I found our class, let’s go find a good spot”.

We ended up sitting in the front but farthest away from the teacher’s desk.

“I wonder what he looks like, hopefully good looking” I joke, and Mo laughs along.

“Yeah totally, I’d hate to have to stare at an ugly ass old man for the rest of the year”.

After this remark, an unknown boy with tan skin, light blue eyes, and golden brown hair butted into our conversation.

“Wouldn’t want that eh doll face? Hey the name’s Allen, nice to meetcha”.

Allen then stuck out his hand for a hand shake but quickly pulled it back to comb through his hair, warning a scoff from the guy behind me.

“Don’t mind this fuck boy, he’s just looking his next fuck buddy. I’m his better friend Matt”.

This time when he stuck out his hand, I was actually able to take it and noticed how big the guy was, especially his hands.

I looked around the other that were also looking at us we didn’t know yet, “(Y/n) nice to meet you...these uh, are your other buddies I suppose?”

“Pretty name for such a doll, oh yeah this is Kaitlyn, Theo, Brock, and Beau”.

Kaitlyn had pretty long brown hair, pale skin, matching blue eyes to Matt and Allen, and a look that could kill. Theo looked like the definition of a cinnamon roll with sun kissed skin, green eyes, and wavy dirty blonde hair pushed to the side. Brock and Beau looked like they were about to kill each other, Brock was more intimidated as you could tell he was more built than Beau. Brock had a similar skin tone to Allen’s, but he had dark brown eyes, and black hair. Beau was a platinum blonde with fair skin and baby blue eyes.

The four smiled or smirked and waved while Mo and I simply returned the gesture.

“Where are you from (Y/n)? I haven’t seen you around much” Theo asked.

“Oh I moved here while ago from Maine”.

But before anyone could respond a loud but almost soothing voice boomed behind me.

“Maine eh? One of the only two states with split electoral votes giving it four in total. Does anyone know the other state?”

Mr. (T/C) was tall but not too tall, handsome but not overwhelming so, and was a big guy but you could tell he was built. Damn.

“Nebraska with five sir” a random student spoke up answering his question.

“Good. Now I didn’t catch your name Miss Maine, which city are you from?”

I pause in embarrassment, but quickly sputtered out an answer.

“Port Clyde sir, a-and it’s (Y/n)...sir”.

He chuckles while walking over to his desk.

“Well Miss Maine, it’s nice to meet you, and to all the class if your schedule doesn’t say Mr. (T/C) then you’re in the wrong place”.

A few students exchanged glances and stood up to leave. I could tell he had a super chill attitude by the way he talked and carried himself.

I leaned over to Morgan and whispered “I can tell I’m gonna have a fun year”. She quietly laughed, but before she could reply Mr. (T/C) beat her to it.

“Miss Maine, seems like this year you’ll be quite the trouble maker huh? Well I guess since you love to talk answer me this, I graduated high school in 2012. What NHL team won the Stanley Cup that year?”

Knowing it like the back of my hand, I quickly answered the question.

“The LA Kings sir.” I smirked as his eyebrows raised in surprise.

“A hockey fan? Well this must be my lucky year, a girl who actually watches hockey”.

I could tell everyone was now staring at me. Some trying to burn holes into my head, and others trying to undress me with their eyes.

“I love the Toronto Maple Leafs sir”.

I could hear Matt’s chair scoot back a tad bit but was surprised to hear him speak so loud, “The Maple Leafs suck ass! Montreal is where it’s at!”

“Language. But I’m glad to see a good rivalry here, now before things get out of hand, let’s get into the introduction”.

As I walked out of the classroom with everyone, I couldn’t stop laughing at a dirty joke Brock had just told. Mr. (T/C)‘s class was amazing, government wasn’t my best subject, but I could tell I was gonna love it. And after learning about Matt’s disdain towards my Maple babies, I knew he was just teasing and I actually felt closer to the people I had just met.

Boy was I in for a ride tomorrow.

You’ve got it. (Had to wait until after my math exam to write this sorry!)

-

“I can’t function like this for much longer. I’m gonna give into my online shopping addiction all over again.” Daphne whined, scrolling through a selection of boots that were on sale. She could afford to splurge on them (that was the purpose of the stimulus check after all) but she knew that once she started hitting “Buy Now” she wouldn’t stop.

“How do you think I feel?” Shag said from the kitchen - he was staring into the pantry with great longing, “Every restaurant in the city is closed for dine-in and I’m only called into work like two days a week.” He let out a sigh and shut the pantry, he had been limited to eating the same number of meals as any other mortal so they wouldn’t need to take so many trips to the grocery store.

Daph moved her legs so that he would have room to flop onto the couch. He sat down and then stretched his legs to the other side, resting them in Daphne’s lap.

Without looking up from her phone she said, “At least you get to leave home for work. All I do is submit articles and then get criticisms on them via Zoom.” 

He nudged his heel against her thigh, a gesture she recognized as comfort. She grinned and placed her phone down on the coffee table, “Have you called Sugie yet?”

Shaggy replied with an amused tone, “Like, she called me actually, it was a couple hours ago. Asking how I’m feeling and calling me a feeble old man. Her and her hubby are making ends meet but she says she actually misses seeing my ugly mug.” 

Daphne chuckles, “That sounds like something she would say.” She was beginning to miss those Rogers family gatherings, Daph hadn’t seen Shag’s extended family since Sugie’s wedding.

Shaggy nodded and sat up, removing his feet from her lap and crossing his legs, “And get this. Like not even a minute goes by before my parents call me!”

Daphne’s eyes widen - Shag tried to call them once a week just to make sure they were doing alright but it was almost never the other way around. “Is everything okay with them?” She said, scooching forward to grab his hand.

He nodded, “Yeah they’re fine and everything. Like, apparently they were also worried about me. Sugie’s gettin’ to them.” He said this with a smile that made Daph’s chest warm and she smiled right back to him.

“That’s good, I don’t wanna be the only one in the universe worrying about you all the time.” She leaned forward and nestled her head into the crook of his neck.

He replied as he began running his hands up and down her back, “Hey I take offense to that statement! I worry about me plenty.”

Daphne laughed into his shoulder, “I am so sorry. I’m just bummed because there’s this great pair of purple ankle boots and it’s literally the perfect season to wear them and they’re straight up 50% off but I can’t buy them because I’ll just reawaken the long dormant online shopping addiction.”

Shag continued to rub her back, contributing the occasional, “Uh huh,” and “That sucks,” even though he was far from an expert on ankle boots. But if it was enough to bum Daphne out then he could just assume it was a majorly critical field.

“How was your family’s weekly conference call?” Shag asked as he began to comb his fingers through her hair.

His question only earned another series of laughter muffled against him.

“Do not even get me started on that. It was like a fight to the death over who would get to ramble on about how horrid their life is right now.” She squeezed the hand she was holding.

Shaggy smirked, “Is it really their fault that they manage to find complaints everywhere?”

“Dorthy is this close to just going about her regular schedule. To which Dawn threatened to call the police on her.” She placed a kiss on his jaw.

He reciprocated it by kissing her hair, “In typical oldest sibling fashion.”

Daphne nodded, moving down to kiss his neck, “She asked if I was sick of you yet.”

That was enough to make him laugh, to Dawn divorce was as simple as breathing in and out. “I don’t know, like are you?”

She continued to pepper his neck with kisses, “What do you think?”

“I think I’m about to be sick of you if you don’t stop trying to gnaw on my neck like a fucking vampire.”

Daphne pulls back and smirks up at him, and he can see that tell-tale playful look in her violet eyes.

But before she can make her move in this little game, the sound of bawling can be heard from the back of their apartment.

She lets out a sign and glares at her husband, “Your cursing woke the baby dumbass.” Her eyes widen and she slaps her hand over her mouth.

Shaggy laughs loudly as he stands up from the couch and begins to head toward the room, “Yeah yeah like we gotta be mindful of our baby’s dolphin hearing.” The baby’s bawling evolved to practically shrieking and Daphne put her head in her hands.

“We’re about to get so many complaints...”

Shag scoffed, “As if we have to ability to predict her temper tantrums. We’re all stuck together and they need to deal with it.” He says before disappearing into their daughter’s room, “Alright Cassidy your hero has arrived!”

-

Figured I might as well use my Shaphne from A Kind of Emotional Tether since they already end up in New York together and the spread is pretty bad there right now.

Also made them married and with a baby because I can, Shag would be like 25 and Daphne is 24 if we go based off of the fact that MI ended in 2012.

As I sit here, thinking about the end of supernatural, reading all the beautiful tributes and articles, I feel a very great sense of loss. Not because I believe this is the end, the real end, that’s not possible with the Winchesters, but there is something much deeper going on and I can’t quite put it into words, so maybe that’s why I’m writing it down.

Maybe it’s a little bit selfish, maybe I’m just not ready to watch to ‘the end’. Rarely has a show done this to me, and believe me, I have a ‘brand’ of television that I get into. Confession, I only started watching supernatural because someone told me that Kim Manners was a producer on it and I was a huge, I MEAN HUGE, fan of the X-files, and I didn’t feel this way when that show ended. It was also several season in before I started watching supernatural because, truth be told, I very strongly dislike ‘vampires and werewolves’ stories and what media has done to lore and historical context; I’m looking at you Bram Stoker, you started this and opened the door to things like sparkles and Stockholm Syndrome and that’s not okay. But Supernatural had something that I had been missing in TV, in life, and I very quickly became a fan...thank you for fixing vampires and werewolves by the way.

I like endings. I like beginnings. I love the journey to get from beginning to end. Maybe I am feeling something more than a loss of a show, but a loss of a way of life, a path, the road...I don’t know. To be honest Supernatural is one of the last shows that I have tuned in to on the regular, week after week, to watch because the way we watch TV has changed. The way people experience a serial show has changed. I don’t know if Supernatural would have been what it was if it had found a life on a streaming service to begin with. But they didn’t exist, or were just in their infancy when supernatural started. What I will miss the most, I think is the episodes in between. Rarely do you find a show that can start a plot episode one and carry it over many season, reinventing itself, playing off its past and building a future. It has built such a future that regardless of how it end, whether they die or they live, they will always live, they will always live in the stories that we know and the stories that we will tell. Jared and Jensen will go on to do other things, as they had done other things before this, but they will always be Sam and Dean and whenever you see their faces, your first thought will be Sam and Dean. Like Anthony Hopkins will always be Dr. Hannibal Lector (so will Mads Mikkelsen, just saying) and Colin Firth will always be My Mr. Darcy. Misha, though an antagonist to us all, is literally an angel in real life. I said what I said, change my mind.

This thing we call Gish has it’s own life now, and will continue to do great things, but we are deeply bound to our Supernatural roots. Looking back on 15 seasons, the good the bad and the ugly, (*cough* Bugs *cough*), what would the show have been if it were a max of 9 or 12 episodes a season? I mean, honesty, if you are a fan of Lucifer, who has watched it on Fox and now on Netflix, it just isn’t ringing the same. It’s good, but there is something missing and I think what that is, is the passage of time. The episodes in between the big plots, the monsters of the week, and the goofy playful, ‘I killed Hitler’ And ‘Sam hit a dog’ moments. We know a milk run is never just a milk run, that life is big and bold and in your face, even though it seems a little slow right now, and that sometimes, staring a books and computers too long is going to force you out into the world to just look for some trouble. Supernatural has taught me a lot about life and what is out there in the world, the good, the bad, the people, this planet we live on and some of our fundamental flaws as humans. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, but if we work at it, we can touch perfection. It’s the moments and the anticipations, it may also be the glimpses of joy when the world is crashing in around us.

It has been a long time, 15 seasons, 320 plus episodes, and yes it does feel like an end, but not for Supernatural, for the way we watched TV. I like a mini series as much as the next person but I don’t think you can do what supernatural did in a handful of episodes even if you can keep yourself going for as long. I don’t think a community like this will ever happen again in the same capacity because the interactions on episode night wont be the same if they just throw everything up onto a streaming service. We have been so lucky with this show and the cast’s willingness to interact with us as much as they do and recognize the power of the fandom as a force for good. Networks were always just looking for viewership, but seemed to forget that the viewers make or break a show and I feel like Supernatural found a way to take views and unite them, to appreciate the fans and see the power that people can have when hey get behind something. That wasn’t the networks doing, it was the cast, it was the fans, I think that is very obvious. So, maybe this is where my feeling come from, maybe I just don’t see how a show doing as well, doing so much good outside of the show, making money, bringing in viewers, being the longest running show of its kind, could just be cut off when there could have been so much more to be done...Do I blame the network for the fall of TV and that they are grasping at straws for an old way of viewership? Yes, yes I do. I believe that they see the streaming services have been a mighty blow to their structure, that it has made TV so much more accessible and frankly so much less annoying with no commercials, but what I think the streaming services of the world have wrong is the limited number of episode and the anticipation of a new episode week after week. Sure, I hate a hiatus as much as the next person, and when I want to watch 15 season of supernatural all in one shot, I do have the DVDs so F you Netflix for taking it down and putting it back up and taking it down again only to put it back up, I have the collection and I can watch it any time I want! But, where is my live viewing party, the gasps and shock you can literally hear over twitter. The standing and singing Carry On when you know it’s going to play. You don’t get that binge watching a show on Netflix...Supernatural is so much bigger than the money maker it was for the networks.

Truth be told, I’m kind of over TV. I rarely turn the thing on in the off season. I didn’t watch anything new this whole pandemic, but instead went back to the familiar, the comfortable. I marathoned all of the X-files in order from beginning to end with two movies, two event series, and cried over their Kim Manners tribute. (Word to the wise, it may not be the best show to watch in a pandemic with all it’s government conspiracies and alien viruses...but the 90’s fashion in the early seasons, and so many actors who we know and love from supernatural were just babies back then, and yes almost everyone is in it. Baby Crowley, Baby Lucifer, Baby Meg (First Meg not Second Meg...sorry Rachel!)) And when I was finished with The X-files I jumped right back into season one of Supernatural.

Supernatural has kept me coming back every week, and it’s been around for almost half of my life (do we even count the years you can’t remember?). I’m about as old as Sam, I was in university when I started watching supernatural but I’m also an older child and I grew up on my dad’s music, and he had a classic car that I remember but my brother doesn’t and my dad isn’t with us anymore (2012). I found so much to connect with in Supernatural, like I relate to Dean on a level that I can’t even explain; from having a little brother to pie is the superior celebratory dessert - also pie for breakfast is totally okay not because there is fruit in it but because I’m an adult and I’ll do what I want! Go team free will! Does that make me a Dean girl? I don’t think so, because You can’t have one without the other. This whole time, it has been about family, more specifically siblings. Dean isn’t Dean without Sam and Sam isn’t Sam without Dean. But yes I’m a Dean girl for other reasons.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, I doubt it, but supernatural hits the family feels, it came into my life at a time of transition, it was there when my dad died, and has been there for 15 years. Thinking back to the ‘where do you see yourself in 10 years’ question, and not being at all where I’d thought I’d be, there has been something very constant in the inconsistencies of the road so far. Remember back in season one when we didn’t even know demons were a thing and now our biggest issue is literally Chuck? What a metaphor for adult life. For dealing with this crazy world and society and all the weird that seems to be oozing out of the pours of humanity. We’ve grown with this show. I’m not going to say grown up, because I sure didn’t get any taller in 15 year, but I did evolve, and maybe in some ways I have also digressed, but we keep pressing forward because no one else is going to save my world but me.

Supernatural reminds me of so many part of my life. I saw so much of the X-Files in there, the show that formed my younger years, and was devastated when Kim Manners passed away. There was a familiarity in Supernatural. The idea of seeing Sam and Dean come back, in event series (like the x-files) gives me hope, because we know that death isn’t really death for the Winchesters, but there will be something very profoundly missing from the world going forward. Maybe it’s the last of the magic, something that I’m holding onto in my adult life from time before, the spark that has managed to light up a really strange time, and I don’t just mean 2020. Maybe its a Millennial thing, I am an elder Millennial, right on the edge of two generations and I’m not even 40 yet. I’ve lived in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 10s and here were are almost through the first year of the 20s (its going to be a very different kind of roaring 20s but um...very similar. History repeating itself a little too literally at times)

I don’t think the Supernatural Family is going anywhere any time soon, I don’t feel like I’m losing that, but this is an end for us. Maybe it’s the end of one book and the beginning of the next. Maybe it’s now our time to carry the legend of the Winchesters forward. I can only hope that somewhere, somehow we’ll see the world expand, the characters lives on; this isn’t the end of the road, but I guess the road can only go so far. I don’t want it to be over. I feel the loss, the lump in my throat, the tears in my eyes that I am fighting back even though no one is going to see them. It’s all good. All good things come to an end, or do they? Regardless, we’ll always have Tuesdays.

Carry on, everyone. I hope that you’ll be okay. Sorry for the long rambling journal entry that didn’t actually come to any real conclusions...thanks John! (Oh yeah, my dad’s name was John too...)

6-8 for Star Wars or the MCU?

Thanks! 

6. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

THANKFULLY enough, I’m far enough away from the worst of the MCU discourse that I don’t REALLY hear it. I will say that, generally speaking, some of the worst people I’ve ever personally interacted with have been Stucky shippers, but I put that down more to it having a HUGE AMOUNT of shippers, specifically that Specific Brand of slash shipper who is more obsessed with “PURE. SOFT. UWU. BOYS.” without focusing on anything of substance and regularly say shitty, biphobic things to other shippers and toss female characters under the bus. I don’t HATE the ship and of itself, it’s just not my particular poison. (I will take this time to remind anyone of the audience who has never heard it that one of my VERY FIRST slash ships was Frostiron. So that kind of sets the mood there.) I like their overall dynamic, I do like the chemistry, so it isn’t a total no-sell, just not something I’ll sell myself heart and soul to. 

I feel like a ton of the sequel trilogy ships that became REALLY popular on Tumblr were ruined for me by the, frankly, disgusting way that Reylo shippers were treated. Like, you want to complain about how your ship isn’t getting enough attention? Fine, but THEN don’t blame Reylo shippers for it not getting attention WHEN YOU DID EVERYTHING TO EXCLUDE US FROM THE PARTY IN THE FIRST PLACE. Including putting “Reylo shippers DNI” on artwork of your ship. Like, if you do that, then I will do as you say and not interact with it. And probably block you for good measure. So that you don’t accidentally ever put yourself in the unfortunate position of interacting with a Disgusting Reylo. 

I walked out of the first film willing to ship ANYTHING. F1nnrey, F1innpoe, Kylux, and, yes, Reylo. Hell, even Darkpilot. But then, as Fandom evolved, the Reylo shippers, as a group, became more and more insular. I saw this happen BEFORE MY OWN EYES. It became more about hating ONE SHIP than about liking....anything else. There couldn’t be a SINGLE POST about one of the others without a backhanded swipe about Reylo in there. (Also, can I just say, as a bisexual in fandom, the way that Reylo was referred to as a Straight Ship™ when...like....a decent proportion of the Reylo shippers that I personally interacted with were in fact bi was...The two of them knocking uglies while having different plumbing does NOT in fact make either the characters or the shippers straight.) 

I still do like Darkpilot and Finnlo, though. Among others (the smaller, the more niche, the better). But my God if I don’t interact with the fandom as a whole, because like...I’ll just get kicked down. 

7. Is there anything you used to like, but now can’t stand? 

I liked Ragnarok alright, as far as the Thor movies were concerned. Not the BEST, but it was a fun ride, even if the continuity bugged me. 

Then.....the fandom. The FANDOM. The ongoing potshots at the rest of the Thor franchise (talking about HOW GOOD IT WAS compared to the OTHER THOR FILMS, which the film ITSELF didn’t help by making empty jabs at them for....daring to actually show EMOTION instead of endless butt jokes?)

And ignoring the way that it shat on two films’ worth of development. 

And took out a significant part of the prior cast (including, not one, but three female characters.) 

And....

Yeah, there’s a reason I have every possible tag for it blacklisted at this point. 

In Star Wars....it’s actually HARD for me to look at the sequel series now, after TROS. And this is something I’ve heard a lot of. There’s just this...empty feeling. Which is hard with something that’s basically a PART of you because you’ve been a fan of it for so long. Star Wars isn’t JUST a franchise, it’s Five Year Old Rachel sitting in front of a TV and watching a boy only a few years older than her compete in a pod racing tournament as her aunt says “That’s going to be Darth Vader” and it’s asking for The Return of the Jedi EVERY TIME because she loved the Ewoks SO MUCH, it’s having a small lightsaber collection when by the time she was 7-8. It’s going to Star Wars Day at Hollywood Studios and not being overly impressed by MUCH, but then getting to see the fireworks go off overhead to some of the best cinematic music ever composed by man and it being a moment of pure MAGIC. It’s...it’s something that’s threaded itself throughout my life for YEARS. And it’s gone. Or at least a huge part of it is. I don’t know if I’ll ever quite get it back. What TROS did.......it wasn’t JUST a bad storytelling decision. It wasn’t JUST me not being happy that my ship didn’t end up together (the ship thing.....honestly wasn’t even the biggest thing for me). It was a BETRAYAL. And a particularly deep one. And I’m not sure when, or if, I can ever love it like I used to. 

8. Unpopular opinion about [insert fandom here]?

Hating the MCU isn’t a substitute for a personality, I’m sorry. I know you’re embarrassed that you liked in 2012, but please, please deal with that on your own time instead of making endless posts shitting on the MCU. I get it, it’s not as good as it used to be. For my part, I decided to bow out after Endgame. But people saying that it’s as bad as CORONAVIRUS is....

wow. Like, everyone copes in their own ways, but YOU ARE AWARE PEOPLE HAVE DIED, RIGHT? 

I’m REALLY going to make some enemies here, but Hanleia has ALWAYS creeped me out. I do NOT like the way he treats her, I don’t like their first kiss, and honestly? I was kind of glad they broke up in the Sequel Trilogy because it felt more natural for me. (As much as....a lot of the Sequel Trilogy can be natural.) There was a really good Youtube video on Harrison Ford and playing predatory romance, and it really articulated a lot of my feelings on that particular ship. I feel like people....tend to make Han better than he was, which is the counterpart to Dudebros imprinting on him and making him worse than he was.

53. Is there someone mad because you're seeing/talking to the person that you are?

- no, the people in my life are incredibly supportive of me in all my endeavors and decisions

54. Is there something you will never forget?

55. Share a relationship story

- I'll tell you about my grandparents, and how they were made for each other. My grandpa worked for CBC and so did my grandma, but they worked in separate buildings, and one night my grandma's friend says "Elaine, come out for drinks with me and some of the guys" and my grandma really doesn't want to, but she's a polite lady so she does anyways. She winds up sitting next to my grandpa, and they don't say much to each other but his friends keep bugging him and making jokes about how he needs to "get home to his wife" (he isn't married, but he fancies my grandma and his friends are just trying to make him work harder for her). They wind up leaving at the same time, and they walk home together because they lived a couple buildings away from one another. My grandpa assures my grandma that he isn't married, he tells her he's going home to Red Jacket, Saskatchewan for Christmas, but could he give her a call when he comes home? She says yes; and a year later they were married. They've been madly in love with each other ever since.

56. State 8 facts about your body.

- I have 8 less teeth than the average adult; my eyes are two different shapes; when I learned to walk it was with a slight limp so now I always have one; when my body is really low on estrogen I get incredibly clumsy; I have 2 holes in my jaw from where a surgical plate was removed; I'm deathly allergic to peanuts; my limbs are so long, my fingertips almost reach down to my knees; I have a small groove in my head from wearing headgear when I was a child.

57. Things you want to say to an ex

- you always went on and on about how I deserved better, and you're wrong. It's not that I deserved better, you just didn't deserve me.

I have so much pity for you, because you have to live the rest of your life knowing what Ostin did to your mom, you did much the same to me. You acted the same as the man who makes you so sick. You're disgusting for what you did, and I hope you regret it everyday of your life.

58. What are 5 ways to win your heart?

- listen openly to me, tell me things that happened to you during your day, sending me songs or poems or little trinkets that remind you of me, laugh at my jokes, vocalize your feelings about me

59. What do you look like?

This is me and my roommate's cat, Anaan!

60. What is the biggest age difference between you and any of your partners?

- two years, he was 15 I was 17 and as soon as I learned how smol he was I couldn't get past it...

61. What's the first thing you notice in someone?

- their mouth, I lip-read so someone's lips and teeth is the first thing my eyes go to

62. What is the sexiest thing someone could ever do to/for you?

- oh gee I don't even know? Maybe take off my clothes for me, but like really slowly?

63. What is your definition of "having sex"?

- anything that gets the job done, y'know? wets the whistle

64. What is your definition of cheating?

- being physically intimate with a party outside of the pre-established exclusive relationship

65. What is your favourite foreplay routine?

- tease me until I want to kill you, and then fuck me until I can't remember my own name

66. What is your favourite roleplay?

- I don't have one. I did improv in highschool and doing any sort of "acting on the spot" makes me astral project back to that cringey time

67. What is your idea of a perfect date?

- one where it doesn't matter what you're doing, you never want it to end because you can never have enough time with the person you're with

68. What is your sexual orientation?

- queer!

69. What turns you off?

- people who are mean to animals

70. What turns you on?

- climate justice

71. What was your kinkiest wet dream?

- that will stay between me and the lord, thanks

72. What words do you like to hear during sex?

- none, if you can form words or sentences, one of us isn't doing our job right

73. What's something sweet you'd like someone to do for you?

- bring me flowers! No one has ever brought me flowers before

74. What's the most superficial characteristic you look for?

- probably wardrobe

75. What's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for you?

- my sister moved in with me to take care of me while I recover from my mastectomy. I didn't even have to ask, she offered to do it

76. What's the sweetest thing you've done for someone?

My roommate and I had mice and squirrels living in the basement of our old house, and they ate and destroyed all of her old baby books and photo albums; so this year for Christmas I took all the pictures I had of us, and a bunch of pictures she had posted on her social media, and I made her a new photo book to preserve the memories she made these last few years.

77. What's your opinion on age differences in relationships?

- the older you get, the less age difference really matters, my roommate is 41 and her partner is turning 61 this year. I think so long as both parties are of legal age and consenting, do what you want. That being said, it gets iffy if the older party knew the younger person when they were a child; ie. Leonardo DiCaprio and his most recent girlfriend.

78. What's your dirtiest secret?

- I don't have one? I'm literally an open book... You can ask me anything

79. When was the last time you felt jealous?

- when an 8 year old girl came into the shop and told me her grandpa was taking her shopping for her birthday.

80. When was the last time you told someone that you loved them?

- on Wednesday, when I was saying goodbye to my grandma at the hospital (that sounds like a downer, she's fine, she had a knee operation and I went to visit her after work)

81. Who are five people you find attractive?

- LP, Ezra Miller, Joji, my ex boyfriend (they're mad cute, but they're ugly on the inside), Chris Fleming

82. Who is the last person you hugged?

- my mom, after she drove me home from the hospital and helped me get inside

83. Who was your first kiss with?

- a boy named Rhys, in the ninth grade. We were each other's beards before we even knew it

84. Why did your last relationship fail?

- a lot of different reasons; we kept fighting, they had no time for me, they wouldn't communicate with me, I had trouble trusting them, they sexually assaulted me and were hella manipulative, they forgot I existed a lot, there were a lot of red flags that we ignored until it blew up in our faces.

85. Would you ever date someone off of the internet?

- sure, I don't see why not!

Thanks for asking! Sorry it took so long to answer, I had to stop and nap a few times in between questions...

the best of times, the worst of times

so. we have VERY loud upstairs neighbours. or, rather, not loud -- heavy-footed. we never hear their voices, but BOY do we FEEL THEIR VIBRATIONS. Upstairs are CONSTANTLY thundering about and making our glasses rattle. we’re used to them at this point. sometimes we’ll be watching a movie and hear a particularly loud series of thumps, and our lampshade will start swaying. it’s just part of every day life here at Casa Our Flat. we’ve hypothesised about who lives above us, and we’ve narrowed it down to: several rhinos, people with bricks for shoes, parkour virtuosos, or five tiny women who get around on Spacehoppers. we thought we’d never know for sure... UNTIL TONIGHT. 

on this fated evening, upon getting in from a particularly horrendous shift at 11:30pm, my flatmate, Matt, my Mattmate, set upon me before I was all the way in the door like ‘listen! listen to this!’ me: ‘listen to wha-’ THUD. THUDTHUD. THUD. THUD. THUD. me: ‘oh my-’ THUD. THUDHUTHUDHDUDUD. 

Upstairs had, I was informed, been at it for some time. the thuds were coming thick and they were coming fast. our lampshade was going like the clappers. my Mattmate, god bless him, was losing his mind. I -- a humble receptionist who a) had a shitty day at work, and b) does not think that 11:30pm, regardless of whether or not it’s the weekend, is an acceptable time to be having carthwheel races up and down the hallway -- was immediately riled. ‘RIGHT!’ I said, tearing off my coat and flinging it in the general vicinity of my bedroom, ‘THIS IS [THUDTHUDTHUD] RIDICULOUS! I’M GOING UP THERE!!!’ 

and, dear reader: I went up there. 

I went hurtling out of the flat like a demon and took the stairs two at a time. my Mattmate, the coward, followed at a distance and lurked in the staircase while I pounded - VERITABLY POUNDED - on Upstairses’ door. 

the thudding ceased. the music -- inaudible downstairs, audible outside their door, but nothing compared to the volume of thuds -- stopped. I heard muttered voices. I pounded again. the muttered voices got louder. the door opened. 

a vision of beauty stood before me. 

a TANNED, FLOPPY-HAIRED vision of beauty. 

a SHIRTLESS, HUNKY, tanned, floppy-haired vision of beauty. 

my resolve disappeared like candyfloss in a puddle. I am a weak-willed, weak-kneed snowman, and I melted. any desire I had to read Upstairs the riot act vanished in the face of SHIRTLESS HUNKY TANNED FLOPPY-HAIRED VISION OF BEAUTY, MR UPSTAIRS. “Hi,” I said, eventually, when I had both taken in all that was before me and become hyper-aware of everything that was wrong with my own appearance in that moment, “I’m Downstairs.” 

I’m Downstairs? I’m Downstairs??? I DARE to besmirch this BREATHTAKING GRECIAN STATUE’S doorstep with my ill-fitting work suit and my I Have Literally Just Walked In The Door From The Outside, Where It Is Sleeting hair and face, and then I say HI, I’M DOWNSTAIRS? 

Mr Upstairs, Shirtless Hunk, clearly a gentle and understanding soul, then COMPOUNDED MY AGONY by opening his mouth and saying, in a beautifully accented voice, “I am so sorry! we will stop!”

“No!” I said. yes, I meant. “It’s fine!” it was not fine. 15 seconds previous to this conversation I had fully come to terms with committing murder. “I just wanted to make sure everything was okay!” lies. all lies.

“We were playing with the ball,” explained Shirtless Hunk, Mr Upstairs. 

“Ohhh, cool,” I, a liar who hates sports, replied. “No worries!” 

and then -- and then -- the best thing happened. the best thing, and also the worst thing. I have described it to my Mattmate thrice in the 3-or-so hours since it happened, and every time he begs me to stop. another beautifully accented voice echoed from the depths of Upstairs. the door opened wider. and there, behind the shirtless, hunky, tanned, floppy-haired vision of beauty-- 

ANOTHER SHIRTLESS, HUNKY, TANNED, FLOPPY-HAIRED VISION OF BEAUTY. MSSRS UPSTAIRS, A PAIR OF BONAFIDE FUCKING HUNKS. JUST SOME HALF-CLOTHED, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT SPORTS BABES. MY NEIGHBOURS, A DUO OF GOLDEN GODS, LIVING THEIR LIVES 10 FEET ABOVE ME AT ALL TIMES. 

at this point, naturally, I completely lost my head. 

“Ah!!!” I said. “Hello!!!” 

Shirtless Hunk #2 was holding a football underneath his golden arm. He flicked his floppy hair off his perfectly lovely forehead and smiled. I immediately went blind. “SORRY!” he said. “WE WERE PLAYING FOOTBALL!” 

“Ahaha,” I replied, “nooooo worries!” 

“We will stop,” Shirtless Hunk The First assured me. 

“No, no,” I lied, backing towards the door to the stairs where my Mattmate still lurked, unable to hear anything except my, I quote, ‘increasingly high-pitched voice’. “It’s fine! Just wanted to make sure you weren’t killing each other! Ha ha ha!” 

“We are sorry,” reiterated the second Shirtless Hunk. 

“No prob, bob,” said I, inexplicably, hating every syllable and also myself.

“Sorry!” the beautiful shirtless hunks kept saying as I fled backwards down the hall, desperately trying to escape the forcefield of their combined hunkiness, athleticism, and classic good looks. “Sorry!!!” 

“It’s fine!” I continued to chant back, making my escape like some sort of confused crab in office wear. “No worries! Goodbye!” 

AND THAT IS THE STORY OF HOW I, AN ANGRY RED GIRL IN A VERY UGLY UNIFORM, MET MY NEIGHBOURS, TWO MALE MODEL LOOKING MOTHERFUCKERS WHO WERE PROBABLY IN THAT ABERCROMBIE & FITCH WRESTLING ADVERT IN 2012 OR WHATEVER, AND FROM WHOM WE HAVE NOT HEARD A SINGLE SUBSEQUENT THUD, THE END

10 Years of Gaming PCs - 2015 - 2019 (Part 2)

ah PC gaming in one way or another. It'S provided countless hours days weeks, even years of entertainment to generations of enthusiasts around the globe or discs, as it were. These last 10 years have been something of a roller coaster, ride for enthusiasts and novices alike, and today we begin our story, one of sloth and greed, of loss, rebirth and a never-ending thirst for more so make yourself comfortable. As we take you back in time and celebrate PC gaming in the only way, we know how I feel like a bunch of gaming PC's, it's gonna be fun. You ready, oh, and it's brought to you by actually powered by C sonic and brought to you by LG's ultra gear. Ultra wide gaming displays yeah any news crew ever to the first chapter of our story begins way back in the long long ago, time known as 2009, the 44th President of the United States of America was inaugurated. The Twilight series made its debut and James Cameron's Avatar became the highest-grossing film of all time, depending on your take on those events. It was either a great year or one that you'd rather forget but fear. Not 2009 was a pretty good year for PC gaming. We got Borderlands, Batman, Arkham Asylum left, 4, dead, 2 and Dragon Age Origins just to name a few to run those games Intel had just launched the core. I series as a replacement for the core twos that had gone toe-to-toe with AMD in the years prior. As a result, while the Linfield core i7 handily outperformed its core 2 quad predecessors, the price for those older chips fell steadily as the new platform found its legs and they remained a highly popular choice for builders, especially with early ddr3, costing a pretty penny and not Significantly outperforming the outgoing ddr2, so our build then is equipped with everything we need to make a great 2009 gaming machine, a Core 2 quad, q96 50 with gorgeous Zellman flower cooler on it, 4 gigs of ddr2, 800, dual Radeon, HD, 59, 70s in crossfire and, of Course, Windows 7, all for just under 18 hundred US dollars at the time, so I was actually pretty into both of these games. I guess I'll go with Dragon Age. It'S probably the more graphically demanding of the two and a have. You actually tried these games. I loaded them up to make sure they launched in that they're in the right resolution. But aside from that, Oh nope, you're, gonna, have to create a character and everything I actually probably don't have to do that I could. I could remote into my computer at home and load up my safe. I think I still have it alright. So, theoretically, I've thrown my old save file for a lira in here, but I don't know vps hosting seattle if it's actually gonna work. There'S a previous folder that has like a portrait stuffin, it man. I remember this. Alright, let's see if it's in their caverns whoa. Actually that ain't bad. I think I was kind of an evil character, which is why my face ends up looking kind of like scary and stuff arcane bolt winters grasp slowdown, you hoser finding the controls a little clutch in it in this after this. After so long, all right, obviously don't know any of my my binds here. Oh it's immune to fire, not that makes sense how about some lightning for you there. You know it's funny new games or they definitely look better, but this looks all right. Doesn'T it yeah? I mean like most of the graphical fidelity is made up in the lighting. I think, because the textures don't really hold up very well today, no they've aged for sure that was definitely a trip down nostalgia Lane. But one thing I won't miss is how loud gaming machines were back then and how bad the cable management options were. This case sucked the following year, saw Bioshock 2 hits Steam libraries along with Battlefield, Bad Company, 2 sip 5 Mass Effect, 2 and Starcraft 2 wings of Liberty. Carrying on this pattern of sequels AMD's new Phenom, 2 X, 6 offered more threads than the core twos did at a price much lower than the core AI series, particularly when it comes to the supporting hardware. This made it a favorite among enthusiasts, looking for something better than a Core 2 quad and a multi-threading workload without breaking the bank, because, while it was slower per thread, it held its own in most titles, wider availability of ddr3 made for a lower early adopter tax. Although ddr2 would remain much less expensive for some time to come, our 2010 gaming PC, therefore, is equipped with a phenom, 2, x6 10:55 T 4 gigabytes of ddr3 1333 and twin Radeon, HD 6970 s still rocking Windows, 7 or again just shy of 1800 dollars in 2010 well remember when you could right-click on Network crap in the bottom right and then you would well ok when it wasn't broken like that yeah and then you could just go to your network configurations. I did do that all right. So what are we trying to run out here again, 34, 40 by 1440, so full ultra wide. As you can see, it doesn't exactly scale the intro graphics, very well. No, but once again the textures are a little rough and a mocap technology definitely had a long way to go back then, compared to now you can definitely tell when things like godrays are hard-coded versus dynamically generated by the engine by the light sources. Yeah in this case, if you removed all the geometry in the scene, those godrays would still be there. He looks like he just smelled something bad, so this game apparently scales to ultra wide by narrowing your vertical field of view. That'S not a great gaming experience. Ultra wide support has definitely gotten a lot better over the years, so our number 10 bulb is actually cut off, and so is our point decrease button here. Well, I'm not sure how to proceed from here. To be honest, wha-wha 2011 brought us a huge number of hot titles like portal to Sky roll. Oh, that's! A pretty dead beam, sorry Skyrim, deus ex human revolution and everyone's favorite masochism, simulator, Dark Souls but 2011 was also a dark year for AMD. With the release of Sandy Bridge and Intel's new consumer LGA 1156 platform, until not only had a very fast line up of CPUs at their disposal, but a cost-effective one at that, AMD's response in the form of bulldozer failed on all counts, giving them a reputation as The cheap option that would take years to overcome now because in the early days hyper threading had a tendency to negatively impact gaming performance. There was very little reason to go with the high end core i7 2670 500k with 4 gigs of ddr3 ram, whose price had come down a fair bit since 2010. Now, this time around, we've gone green team for our graphics card, because in videos, GTX 590 outperformed AMD making it the goat card for over-the-top monster machines. But it was also around this time that enthusiasts began to shy away from dual GPU solutions due to the prevalence of micro, stuttering. The GTX 590 would be among the last such consumer cards from Nvidia this year we picked up check this link right here now an SSD for the first time, bumping our total build price to nearly 1,900 dollars, and that SSD option is something we'll be keeping in. All future builds unlike Windows, 7. For which, sadly, the road ends here, one thing that was a big deal that we didn't cover in the blurb for this year is that the define was pretty much the defining case of this time. Unlike the p180 series from an tech that preceded it, it was actually affordable, so you could get a nice looking quiet, discreet case. Without now I actually never actually played Skyrim when I was big into oblivion, but I never played this one. This is the one that everybody played. I know right, I got ta say the texture quality, even just in the loading screens, is feels more than a year ahead of what we were just looking at. That'S a huge difference, and this is even without the modding community. Coming in and fixing it for us yep, however, the 8k texture packs that were available for this wasn't actually 8k, but you know: should we just jump to one of the towns sure you watch out boom yeah you like that boom right fist, let's just oh he's, Got a sword boom, wow, wow, wow, oh great, a sword. Go nice, just got a knife or maybe he only had a knife in the first place. Wow. Oh, I have an axe. How do I equip it? Let'S go axe, some shiz lightning axe, oh wow! This is how waiting works in this game, yeah that is so ugly and unnecessary wow. This is really a much much better looking game, though it's still, it still doesn't hold up that well compared to modern stuff, like you can really tell a lot of the assets and the trees are obviously reused. Shadows are very lifeless feeling mm-hmm. It'S a shadow map. The trees don't move, you know, yeah no breeze, but one of the things that was really great about this game was draw distance like you could really look out into the distance and feel like you were in an immense world. Well, the world didn't end in 2012. It wasn't an outstanding year for gaming as a whole, either standouts include far cry 3 XCOM enemy, Unknown Borderlands, 2 and csgo. The CPU world, meanwhile, arguably came to a halt. Ivy Bridge was a modest tick to Sandy bridges, talk representing a die shrink and not much else. Pci Express 3.0 became a thing and they updated the integrated graphics and improved quick sync support, but neither of those things were earth-shattering at the time. Still, as gamers moved on to the new architecture, the lessons of the previous generation carried forward to this one to so many went with the core i5 this time around, and so did we, the 35 70k powers, our rig this year, along with 8 gigabytes of very Inexpensive RAM and the Radeon HD 7970, which, despite its slightly lower performance out of the gate, mostly kept pace with Nvidia's Kepler and eventually I performed it in the long haul, thanks to its larger frame buffer. At least this build costs less than last year's at just over 1,800, but we're now also running Windows 8, so have fun. With that, I never actually played Far Cry 3, even though I played the first one and loved. It played the second one and literally had my save game tanked because it had autosave and then it auto saved when I was too far from anywhere to recover from some poison or something oh, tennisforum.com/members/346995-routerhost.html?simple=1#aboutme the malaria yeah. So I couldn't I couldn't do anything so my save game got played. This is a crappy game anyway. So yeah didn't bother with this one, even though it was supposed to be good yeah, they skewed a little bit less towards the realism aspect of this one. You know, as far as I know, I was the first North American retailer to bring in the define r2 really yeah. We brought in almost a container of them at a time when they were basically a completely unknown brand. It was like a huge gamble for me as a product manager. They had their issues. I remember there was a big scandal where there learn the facts here now their front USB was like wired up wrong or something Oh, and they had to send us a bunch of like replacement USB harnesses, and I was like what am I gonna do with these, like. You expect me to have someone go in the back and replace all your stupid front panel, cabling literally open every case. I guess they expected them to like be shipped with the cases or something that was ultimately the solution making the customer deal with it, but it was not a good time. People were not happy. Facial animations have come a long way in even just a few short years now. They'Ve come a long way further. Since then, these releases here with specular, highlights, are much better than previous. Yet like we're getting to the point now where I'm not gonna play this game and go oh there's a little yeah see the highlights on those packages yeah, and you can see them in people's eyes too yeah the eyes, especially it gives them a lot more Life vegetation still looks pretty static. Mutants on this is pretty good as well, but I can tell that, like it kind of cuts off around there part of it too, is that they've also applied a depth of field effect. That was something that didn't come into play until around this time. Yep 2013 brought comparatively few, but major releases like battlefield, 4, dota, 2 and Saints Row. 4 AMD wasn't having much fun, though, and their desperate attempts to compete by both lowering their prices and increasing their clock speeds and therefore power consumption never quite managed to break them. Free of the rut they found themselves in has well, then, was the next talk, and this time around, we actually did get a bit of a performance boost, even if it was a single-digit one. Thanks to a move to Intel's 22 nanometer FinFET manufacturing process, hyper-threading also became more useful this year. As the concept of streaming your gaming began to take off in earnest, and the core i7 4770k was also clocked higher than the core i5 variant. So that's what we went with along with 16 gigs of fast ddr3 ram and a geforce gtx 780 Ti Kepler. Second outing certainly did a lot better than the first and unfortunately, for AMD. Radeon, still to this day, hasn't made a return to the top of the benchmark chart. This year, windows 8.1 made its debut, but I don't know that anyone actually cared outside of the fact that it was a free upgrade for Windows 8 users which I guess might have helped a little with the ballooning prices of enthusiasts PC hardware. This build all told commanded, a total of just over 2,100 u.s. dollars now. This is where we get into the games. That really make me say, is this even that old like I could play this game today, and it would be perfectly fine. This is battlefield. 4 textures look freakin, awesome, high res lighting. Reflections are handled differently depending on the type of surface that the light is hitting can actually see objects that move into the god rays, get illuminated by them. Like my gun. A lot of the improvements here aren't even just in technology they're, also in style like you, can really just tell how much more attention to detail is put into mocap yeah character models. These are so detailed compared to the ones that we were looking at at the beginning hall that bloom, yeah and lens flare love it like a really complex lens flare to the final year, represented in this first part of our series is 2014, which was another relatively Light year for high-profile releases with Dark Souls, 2 alien isolation, shadow of Mordor and The Sims 4 representing as for hardware and it's Ivy Bridge all over again. But worse. Tik-Tok and boars law largely fell apart this year and instead of a new microarchitecture or anything of substance, we got Haswell refresh literally just the core clock, improvement and, admittedly much needed more efficient Tim. We did get a new chipset to go with it, though, which, for the first time implements nvme support, not that anyone had any use for that at the time. But hey a features, a feature. So we went with a core i7 4790k, along with 16 gigabytes of ddr3 just like last time, but now we're dropping our hard drive in favor of a faster large SSD. The other main difference is in Nvidia's Maxwell based GTX 980, a complete rework of Kepler that improved efficiency and overall performance to running on the same process. Node. That was a pretty impressive feat and AMD wouldn't release their response until the following year. Mercifully, total cost is down significantly this year, and this will also be the last year that we build with Windows 8.1 with that said, I'm sure that there are still some fans of it out there somewhere. So this is alien isolation and yeah. One of the things that you'll notice - it's got Medicaid, yes, yeah, that's kind of the aesthetic of this, but it was also something that kind of became popular in around this time. Right. Real-Time Instagram filters yeah. So, as you can see, it's like fine when we're looking right at it, but if we move the camera yeah you get that red fringing on it yeah. I think I'll go green over here. That'S cute, yep lighting effects are so natural and it's amazing how much of a difference that makes I mean the graphics card manufacturers are constantly talking about how lighting is such a key component to making a game look more natural and more immersive, but, as we've gone Through this six years of gaming PC's, it's like yeah, certain things have improved like textures, but lighting is definitely the one that has been the most game-changing pardon, the pun, yeah and, like this watery effect here, the way the light plays off. Of that. That'S something that just didn't happen in previous generations, so much subtlety to it like just areas on the carpet that are more lit, like we've, got actual light, bounces yeah. So as we come out here, we can see that you know the carpet here. Well, it's not really carpet but like it's way less well, you lost shiny than this. This trim is yeah. It used to be that, like going back to really old games like doom three, just like the entire environment felt shiny if they wanted to have light reflecting off anything like they elect subtlety yeah, Full Article and in this case you can kind of see here like the way They did with the bump mapping here yeah. It looks shiny, but also greedy at once, which is a really difficult thing to pull off on previous generations. I remember it being a big deal to even be able to reflect the environment scope before this. Oh yeah yeah used to be like he was read an orchestra. You could have something that was either like a static scope or you could have a low resolution or a high-resolution reflection yeah, and there was a significant performance penalties for enabling it. It was a discrete menu option. Man, this the steam effects here, looked great yeah. The fact that, like when you go by them and the the light is no longer I mean it's that's kind of a screen space thing, but it kind of also works because it no longer is in your your field of vision. So it kind of just fades out so this first half of the last decade represented a steady decline in hardware improvements in innovation year over year. But somehow, on the software side of the gaming industry, they still managed to squeeze far more realism and image quality out of said hardware. Now some believed that this decrease in performance improvement would continue ad infinitum as a result of the death of Moore's law and the future. Indeed looked pretty dim. In 2014, it seemed as though PC gaming would begin to drop off, along with the decline in PC shipments. In general, but stay tuned folks, because for part two, where we go from 2015 all the way up to today. Well, let's just say if you're new - and you don't already know how this ends, I think you're gonna be surprised at where things go from here. What will be a surprise is this segue to our sponsors for today's video, LG and C sonic, who provided these monitors and, of course, literally powered all of our systems here? So if you guys are looking for a great gaming experience, LG's Ultra Gear gaming monitors are a fantastic choice. We'Re gonna have those linked in the video description and also down. There is gonna be some c sonic power supplies, no matter what kind of a rig you're, building small form-factor large power, sipping power, chugging, doesn't matter see Sonic's got you covered.

Anon Submission 1/2

seeing all this hamburglar hate now among his former asskissers, i’m like, ya late! i peeped that game back in 2013. fuck the haters, thank you for keeping it real about his shadiness long before it was cool to.

*puts on tinhat*

i remember the Great Zayn HQ Drought, when we’d get a million pix of the others and like one occasional lq pic of zayn, even when they were together. i also noticed they weren’t styling him as sharply as they were before and after the drought. i also noticed it conveniently coincided with harry’s rise as the “frontman”, riding on the haylor wave. harry also got a separate stylist and lowkey fashion sponsorships/free shit. he slowly slipped that in, starting with the scarves. (he made them look like ugly rags, i was shocked to see how much they were actually worth.)

folks say he’s been plotting since 2013, and i’m like naw, he was getting his game together in 2012 so he could start in 2013. even though sott has a slower than expected start, i still think he will come out on top in the end, because so much time and money and effort has been invested and tptb always fight for white boys to win. 

however, zayn’s achievement can never be downplayed bc he’s literally the only member of 1d that’s generated significant interest from the public on his own. harry networks hard, and has *always* been linked to celebs and socialites in the very beginning, that’s how he became significant tabloid material. zayn on the other hand was only known for himself in 1d. before the start of the hamburglar’s snake rise in 2013, zayn was getting a lot of individual attention for his style and his vocals. (and while harry’s public relationship benefitted him, zayn’s relationship only benefitted perrie, who modest wanted to be little mix’s “harry”, which is a whole another rant, let not get started today) it made no damn sense to me that harry would get sponsorships and fashion awards first. 

not to mention all the discrepancies in his public image. he made himself a blank slate, acts overly nice and polite. i can’t believe that people thought he’s completely clean and above his weed smoking bandmates, when he regularly hangs out with rude, obnoxious partiers and cokeheads. there was even an article, comparing a new generation of socialite partiers (including him by name) comparing them to an older generation… who were notorious for their drug use. (and lets not get into the “sniffling from year-round allergies *cough*”)

and there are times when his mask slips and i’m like hmm… like that ot4 interview with grimmy, when harry lost his voice and had to type on his phone… i remember when he tried to make a joke and nobody caught it, they moved on talking about something else. at first he looked so pleased with himself, then when no one got his joke he looked seriously offended. like, if he’s the type of person who doesn’t care what other people think, who isn’t trying hard to be cool, why would he look so offended? why would he be pressed that he isn’t the center of attention?

i remember another interview where liam and the interviewer kept going (about a football player?), and he couldn’t get a word in (he wanted to talk about having their scarf? lol). he was so sulky and pissed that he couldn’t bring the attention back to himself (i think there was another time, in that same round of interviews where liam was messing with him and put his foot  on him and he was so disgusted, like who the fuck is this bitch??? he recovered well, but i don’t think he was playing.) and i’m like damn, you this salty because you got ignored for a couple seconds? imagine, if zayn had that face every time y'all talked over him or shut him out the convo. he’d have perpetual bitch face!

…which reminds me of another time, when someone mentioned harry’s hair and liam joked that it was extensions and harry looked pissed. which also reminds me of another time when liam said that harry’s hair always looked the same, and harry was offended, enough for louis to step in and deflect. at the time i was like wtf, it’s not that serious??? but i’ve recently read comments ppl have been making about harry possibly balding and needing implants… i saw on on forum, they showed his biological father’s receding hairline, and how it’s improved now, possibily with finasteride and impants…. is that why harry is so sensitive about his hair? his hairline looks to be holding on, but perhaps he’s on treatment and is fearful it could get worse. (i don’t like him anymore, but i def would not wish balding on anybody, that shit can be traumatic and i don’t want to curse my own fave’s hairline)

and back to the perpetual bitch face, i think it’s wild how harry’s gotten away with resting/puckered bitch face in half his fan photos, no one says a damn thing. let that be zayn though, and they’d burn that shit to the ground. i remember folks giving liam hell, because he wasn’t smiling *inbetween* a long series of fan photos on the red carpet (i think?) even tho he smiled in every photo and he always gives fans big hugs and he’s the only one always shows up for 1d shit. 

i’m sorry to be up in your inbox like this, i really wasn’t expecting this to be so long, i guess i had a lot of feelings to get off my chest, lmao. 

#whoa anon i remember getting this submission a while back #and not reading it because i was busy at the time #but honestly go off #im publishing because i know if i had written this much and it had just died in someones inbox i would have been pissed haha #sorry that i didnt read or publish it at the time you sent it! #also i added the title so people would know it was a 2 parter submission haha #submission #long post

Prompt: Yūri and Yuri friendly/semi-friendly interaction? Like maybe the first time they realised the other wasn't all that bad, or a time they mocked the media version of their rivalry, or their first in-person meeting after the "if he's doping, he's not very good at it" interview?

this was meant to take place at the japan open, before i remembered that the japan open is a team event and as such, they wouldn’t be on the podium alone. there would be like three other people on each of the steps. so i guess it takes place at the us classic or something? it takes place before the grand prix series in 2012. so the first time yuri and yuuri see each other after the 2011-12 season.

consider this semi-canon. maybe with some tweaks.

Yuuri starts to cry onthe podium.

It is, quite possibly,the most embarrassing thing he has ever done. There he is, medal hanging fromhis neck, surrounded by a stadium of fans, and he can’t stop the tearsthat begin to fall from his eyes. It’s made about three hundred times worse bythe people the universe chose to give front-row seats to his minor breakdown.

“Are you… crying?”Jean-Jacques Leroy asks incredulously. He twists around Yuuri to where Yuri Plisetskyis standing in the silver medal position. “Is he crying?”

“Shut up, JJ,”Plisetsky says. To Yuuri, he says, “What are doing, you moron? You won gold.”

Yuuri tries to smilethrough the tears, wiping furiously at his eyes. “Sorry,” he says. It isn’tquite the reassurance he was looking for.

“What do we do?” Leroywhispers loudly.

“Shut up, JJ.”

“He’s crying.”

“JJ, I will reacharound Katsuki and—”

“I’m okay,” Yuuri says.“I’m okay.” He inhales sharply – a breath with much more snot in it than ispreferable – and scrubs at his eyes one last time before meeting the gaze ofthe photographer. He smiles. Don’t startcrying again.

Plisetsky gives him adoubtful look. “Are you expecting me to believe that was allergies? What evenis there out here for you to be allergic to? The ice?”

Yuuri doesn’t sayanything, and Plisetsky drops it. The photographer wraps up, and they step downfrom the podium.

Plisetsky meets his eyewith a teasing twist to his features. “Do you remember how this goes, or do youneed me to hold your hand again?”

Behind him Leroysnorts. “Easier ways to pick up guys.”

“Fuck you, JJ,”Plisetsky says automatically.

“I’m fine,” Yuuri says.

“Ouch. Rejected again,Yuri.”

“I hope you trip, you French-Canadianpiece of shit.”

“You know, I’m honestlynot sure if that’s offensive or not.”

“Fuck you.”

Yuuri feels the laughbubble up without his consent. Plisetsky and Leroy both freeze.

Then, Plisetsky says, “ThankGod. You look so much better when you laugh.”

Leroy laughs. “Do Ieven need to say it?” he asks.

“Because he’s so uglywhen he cries, fuckface!”

Yuuri looks at the twoof them and feels something warm unfold in his chest. Then, he shakes his headand turns to skate his lap of honour.

Phillies Win Big, Favorites in NL East,

Braves; “Hold My Beer”

Bryce Harper is, as it stands, the talk of the baseball world and possibly the sports world right now. Any person that signs a 1/3 of a billion dollar contract for anything is going to snatch headlines no matter what's going on in the world.

Okay, so the Phillies have signed Bryce Harper. The rest of the National League East waited with bated breath, hoping that the Giants or the Dodgers or maybe their team would nab him at the last second…. That didn't happen. The Philadelphia Phillies on paper look to be the favorites in the NL East this year, hell maybe even the WS favorite at this point. The Philadelphia Phillies look like the super team they compiled back in 2009 when they won the World Series. Well, minus the pitching…

The Phillies don't have that 2009 rotation that they had. Not even close. No Roy Halladay. No Cole Hamels. No Curt Schilling.

Yeah, I think it's time that teams like the Atlanta Braves, New York Mets and Washington Nationals throw in the towel. I mean these Phillies….

Wait….

Haven’t the pundits been in bed with Bryce Harper since like, 2012? Weren’t the Harper-led Washington Nationals supposed to win the World Series yearly)? I can tell you for sure, it wasn’t because they had Harper only, sorry Philly fans. This isn't going to work out for you.

Harper is going to rake. He’s going to mash. He’s going to bat flip. Back-to-back homerun derby champ all day long! All the goodies are coming your way Philly Nation! Enjoy the shiny accolades.

See folks, the Phillies just paid guaranteed “stupid money” to a guy who has really nice hair. Yeah, when he hits the ball he hits it hard just like Aaron judge and Ronald Acuna, Jr do. Harper's aggregate WAR over the past 3 seasons has him standing at just about 7.5 - as gauged by Baseball Reference – Freddie Freeman boasts a 17.1 in that same time frame. Harper is a below average fielder and I would go as far as to say he is a bad outfielder. The Phillies will be paying Bryce Harper to be something he is not - the best baseball player. That title belongs to yours truly, Mike Trout. Let's be honest, there's a handful of other guys that are just better than Bryce Harper and guys coming up the line that are better than him already….ahem, Acuna, Jr.

Overall, the team that won in the big ticket free agency sweepstakes this year was the San Diego Padres. Manny Machado hits for average, power and has defensive prowess that is a sight to behold. He's also a punk imo - I guess San Diego was willing to live with that. Manny Machado is a five tool player. Bryce Harper is a loose cannon. Yes, he will make the Phillies better, Bryce Harper also can’t throw a curveball. He isn't single-handedly going to get the Phillies back into the playoffs. Just ask Mike Trout how that's going over there Los Angeles.

Bryce Harper was the unanimous MVP in 2015 when he posted a 10.0 WAR, smacked 42 dingers and fell one short of a century mark of 100 RBIs. It is one thing that he dipped one year later to 7.5, it's a whole different can of worms that he has gone three years without breaking 5.0. Reason to be concerned? Ask Pujols' Angels.

Slow clap John Middleton. Slow clap. That buyer's remorse is going to set in come this September, if not sooner.

Listen, the Nationals drafted Harper No. 1 overall and made him the Nationals centerpiece along with Stephen Strasburg. They put everything into a guy who is an average player at best when stretched out over his seven years in the nation's capital. Now the Nationals get to face him approximately 20 times annually over the course of the next 13 years – well given Harper stays healthy seeing as how this contract will pay him well beyond his prime. Harper is Ryan Howard 2.0. This is going to get ugly in about 5 years from now. Phillies Nation knows it. John Middleton knows it.

I'm just going to go ahead and say it; Scott Boras is a pure genius. It’s almost like he predicted the future. Why else would they turn down an offer as ridiculous as the Dodgers' fascinating shorter-term deal of either four or five seasons for either $172 million or $215 million? Well, that's easy to answer. Why would Harper risk re-entering free agency at 31 years old? By then you will have the aforementioned big names entering arb-eligible seasons and guys like Aaron Judge getting paydays. Harper would be a bit of an afterthought, if you can believe that.

I think the Braves will win the NL East again. I think the Braves are the better team. They are deep and are doing it right. Their patience, while many fans found irritating throughout the course of the offseason will pay dividends in the end. We’ll see if I'm right. For the Phillies sake, let's hope so. Feel good Braves country. Off to the races!

Excerpt

All rights reserved. Used with permission.

Instead of going inside, I walk around the house, to the backyard, to see if I can help bring in any dirty dishes, but the picnic table is empty. All traces of our dinner party have already been cleaned up by the Ducharmes siblings.

I look up at the midnight sky, at the dozens and dozens of stars, and I wonder if Gus is right. What he says feels right, but I feel very young and very small as I stare up at the universe. It’s not wrong to give yourself over to loving if the chance arises.

“We get amazing night skies up here.”

I look over my shoulder and find Julian, tall, barefoot, and beautiful, walking toward me.

“Yes, you do,” I answer, giving him a shy and tentative smile before I turn my attention back upward.

My skin prickles with awareness. My lips tingle, remembering the insistent pressure of his. And elsewhere in my body, I clench hard, willing those deep-set tremors not to start up again right now. I want to believe what Gus has told me—that liking and wanting a man isn’t wrong—but it’s new to me, and I need a little time to reconcile my desire and conscience together.

“When I lived in DC, it was what I missed the most, besides Noelle. More than the cheese. More than the beer. More than the skiing.” He stops, standing beside me, staring up at the firmament. “I missed Vermont’s night skies. And the millions of stars.”

“I can see why,” I say. “When I lived in LA, I never saw stars.” I giggle. “I mean, I saw the people kind, but not the sky kind.”

“Who’s the most famous person you ever met?”

“Hmm. Maybe . . . Gigi Hadid . . . or Bella? Hmm . . . Or Cara Delevingne? Kate Moss mentored my m—Tig for a while, um, and she knew Gisele, of course. Also—”

“Wait a second! Gisele? Did you ever meet Tom Brady?” he asks, his voice eager.

“Let me guess.” I glance at his face. “Patriots fan?”

“The biggest.”

“Tig went to their wedding, but I never met him. Sorry,” I say, giggling as he lays a hand over his heart and pretends to cry. “Speaking of the rich and famous, Noelle tells me you met the vice president while you worked in Washington.”

“She did?” His teasing expression disappears quickly as he straightens, dropping his hand. “Uh, yeah. Long time ago.”

“Not so long,” I say. 

“Yeah, well . . . I guess it just feels like a while ago.” I wait for him to say more, hoping to learn why he left Washington so abruptly, but he stretches his arms over his head and yawns. “I’m tired. You must be exhausted.”

“At school I was on the dining hall rotation, which meant cooking for one hundred souls regularly. Tonight was a breeze.”

“Your soup was amazing.”

“Thank you.”

“The steak too.”

“Thank you again.”

“And the tart.”

“That was your sister. Let her know you thought so.”

“And the kiss.”

“Thank—” I’m grinning at him, but my eyes widen at his unexpected compliment, and I immediately look back up at the sky. It’s dark out so he can’t see my blush.

His chuckle is soft and low beside me, and maybe I’m wicked for not feeling more guilty, but I feel my smile grow as I trace Orion’s belt. I don’t dare look at him, but I feel him step closer to me, the warmth of his chest radiating against my back. If I moved slightly, one step even, his body would be flush against mine, and the shiver down my arms has nothing to do with the night chill. I want him to touch me, but I know he won’t.

As though he can read my mind, he whispers, close to my ear, “Not unless you ask.”

I close my eyes and say a prayer for strength and virtue, which, sadly, works, because the next thing I hear is his footsteps receding.

“Good night, sweet Ashley,” he says to my back, his voice a low rumble.

My eyes open slowly to the glittering heavens.

“Good night, sweet prince,” I whisper to Julian’s stars.

It's Time To Welcome Katherine Heigl's Comeback

http://fashion-trendin.com/its-time-to-welcome-katherine-heigls-comeback/

It's Time To Welcome Katherine Heigl's Comeback

A little over 10 years ago, Katherine Heigl was at the height of her career. The then-28-year-old actress had just starred in Judd Apatow’s big bro-com “Knocked Up,” and earned an Emmy for her Shonda Rhimes-certified role as Dr. Izzie Stevens on “Grey’s Anatomy,” when she was cast as the lead in “27 Dresses.”  

She was a bona fide Hollywood star, who could reel in not only viewers but paychecks upward of $6 million.

That is, until we tossed her like a watermelon off a roof. 

Here’s how her public approval rating plummeted: Heigl was widely expected to nab another Emmy nod before she removed her name from award consideration in 2008, explaining in a statement widely circulated by the press that she didn’t believe her role in “Grey’s” Season 4 warranted praise. 

“I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention,” she confessed. “In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials.”

The statement caused an uproar among “Grey’s” fans, as well as the cast and crew of the show, who read it as an insult to now-primetime TV matriarch Rhimes. The showrunner herself was taken aback, and in 2012, two years after Heigl exited “Grey’s” to “focus on family,” she hinted that the attitude revealed in Heigl’s Emmys statement had led, in part, to her departure from the show. 

“On some level it stung and on some level I was not surprised,” Rhimes told Oprah Winfrey of Heigl’s 2008 statement. “When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that [mantra] with me a lot. It has served me well.”

Rhimes continued to reference the actress over the years, telling The Hollywood Reporter in 2014, for instance, that “there are no Heigls” on the set of “Scandal.” 

“I don’t put up with bullshit or nasty people,” she said of her “no assholes policy” in terms of hiring for production company Shondaland. “I don’t have time for it.”

For Heigl, the fallout was ongoing.

A few months before Rhimes ballyhooed her new “no Heigls” set life, TV Guide ran an article entitled “Katherine Heigl: My Career Betrayed Me.” Its first line effectively summarized pop culture’s feelings toward the collapsed star: “Katherine Heigl is continuing her campaign to get back in our good graces by throwing herself yet another pity party.”

The story’s headline was a slight manipulation of a comment Heigl made in an interview with Marie Claire, which read:

″This thing that was my best friend for a long time suddenly turned on me,” she said of the notorious Hollywood machine. “And I didn’t expect it. I was taken by surprise and angry at it for betraying me.”

At this point, Heigl’s career certainly looked different. Although she starred in a handful of film projects from 2010 to 2014, none of them took off the way she’d hoped. Heigl returned to TV in “State of Affairs,” which was canceled by NBC in 2015 after 13 episodes, and then tried with CBS’ “Doubt” in 2017, only to be shortly out of a job once again. The 2017 drama thriller “Unforgettable” gave her a bit of a boost with her role as a jealous, murderous ex-wife (that perhaps capitalized on audiences’ willingness to see her as a villain). But nothing rose to the levels of her 2008 fame.

Earlier this summer, I reached out to Heigl’s team to chat about her return to TV ― as a series regular in Season 8 of USA Network’s “Suits.” The move has “attempted comeback” written all over it.

However, the actress’ representative was “skeptical” of my solicitation, and her manager never returned my requests for an interview. If they were wary of my intentions, maybe that caution was warranted. 

Heigl has been asked to rehash her past indiscretion time and time again. In interview after interview, she’s denied her reputation for “diva-like behavior.” 

“I’m not a rude person. I’m not an unkind or mean person. I would never go out of my way or consciously try to hurt anyone’s feelings or make them feel bad or uncomfortable or not be professional, not do my job. I like my job. But I will continue to stand up for myself and I’m never going to stop standing up for my right to be heard, my right to be treated respectfully and professionally in return, my right to draw boundaries,” she told Meredith Vieira in 2014. “I am a strong woman, and I’m not going to apologize for that.” 

She did apologize. In a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, Heigl recalled an mea culpa she made to Rhimes shortly after the Emmys statement. 

“I went in because I was really embarrassed. So I went in to [see] Shonda and said, ‘I’m so sorry. That wasn’t cool. I should not have said that.’ And I shouldn’t have said anything publicly. But at the time, I didn’t think anybody would notice … I just quietly didn’t submit and then it became a story, and I felt I was obligated to make my statement, and [I should have just said], ‘Shut up, Katie.’”

Today, while entertainment junkies cheer on the women leading Time’s Up and wage gap-related discussions that probe Hollywood’s ugly gender imbalance, Heigl’s legacy remains in limbo. Fans are still suspect, even as “Grey’s” co-star Ellen Pompeo continues to earn back pats for her commendable fight for a $20 million paycheck.

The parallel ― between Pompeo’s unabashed battle for high-rise compensation and Heigl’s highly publicized desire for a meatier role ― isn’t perfect. But there are similarities between the two overt campaigns; both Pompeo and Heigl wanted more, and they deigned to ask for it.

Heigl shared another unfavorable opinion in 2008. Remember that one?

“It was a little sexist,” she told Vanity Fair of Apatow’s “Knocked Up.” “It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. I’m playing such a bitch; why is she being such a killjoy? Why is this how you’re portraying women? Ninety-eight percent of the time it was an amazing experience, but it was hard for me to love the movie.”

A generous reading of that quote in 2018 positions Heigl as ahead of her time, pleading for Hollywood to portray women as something other than “bitches” or moms or ingénues. A woman in entertainment fighting for better scripts? Hell yes. 

Back in 2013, Grantland speculated that a Heigl comeback would take a specific form: “a guest arc on a sitcom, with a few well-placed interviews about what a ‘good experience’ it was for everyone.” On “Suits,” Heigl fills a void left by actress-turned-Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, playing lawyer Samantha Wheeler, whom Heigl says fits right in with the rest of creator Aaron Korsh’s fictional firm.

“They’re really just confident and comfortable in their own skin,” Heigl told TVLine. “They have flaws, and they have insecurities, for sure, but they’re not afraid to push boundaries. They’re not afraid to push back.”

What’s interesting is, she got the job by asking for it. The now-39-year-old mother of three, who traded in Los Angeles for life on a ranch in Utah, reportedly reached out to Korsh about general collaboration possibilities before flat-out asking if he needed “a tall blonde” for “Suits” Season 8. And voila, she was in. 

There’s privilege baked into that request. (Hollywood is rarely not looking for “a tall blonde.” Would, say, Mo’Nique have experienced such a serendipitous opportunity had she asked outright for a role?) But there’s an admirable hubris in it, too.

Comments and career points can be cast and recast to fit convenient narratives that only tell part of the story. Heigl’s string of lackluster TV appearances and rom-com stints, coupled with her rumored “not a team player” status, can either be a signifier of her subpar acting abilities and professionalism, or a reflection of the exclusively crappy material she’s offered ― until she asks for something better. Or maybe reality rests somewhere in between.

Either way, Heigl is coming back. Will you welcome her?

eh

STEP 01: TAG 20 PEOPLE

i don’t have 20 ppl. But @crazystomper​ ur here btch, probably not into this shit but do it for me pls oarelse ill steal all ur drugs

STEP 02: ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

Name: itsybitsy/Biebbs Zodiac: capricorn Height: ~170cm, that’s wut the doctors say. 5′6 Language Spoken: English, noob French, noob Arabic Nationality: U‘merican Favorite Fruit: berries. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries. I broke up with strawberries tho (fresh ones) Favorite Scent: subtle, not too sweet or piercing. I have this knockoff brand of perfume and the cap looks like red lips and it smells good. I don’t know what tu call it though. Someone said it smells like Chanel. You think i know what Chanel smells like? Oh but the White Diamond perfume is ok, and other stuff that old people and moms wear. They have good taste. And if you know the Schmidt’s deodorant brand, I like the cedarwood + juniper scent.

Favorite Color: pastel colors make all the colors beautiful and bearable. Bright, saturated colors are pretty ugly but lemme tell u I have this bright yellow long-sleeve jumpsuit with a turtleneck and shoulder pads and I wear it with jeans and don’t even hesitate unless I’m looking too chunky for my standards, so that means I don’t mind wearing obnoxious things for fun. In my mind I’m modest. Favorite Animal: used tu be hagfish when I was little cause I saw it in an animal encyclopedia and thought it was cool. Much edge! I also liked fruit bats. I do like eels and snakes too, but they make me sad cuz I don’t think they’ll ever like me like the way a dog seems to like me. Barn owls. They’re cute. For cats I like ones that look like...white balinese, the most. Siamese is also cute. Hairless breeds are growing on me, and I hope it’s because of my edge instead of stupid Beerus from DBZ (I used to call him Anubis before I knew his name). Maine coons are also cute, but anyway I guess the long, thin structured cats are most attractive to me. Same with dogs: great danes, dobermans, dalmatians. But I like pomeranians and beagles too. There’s a lot of animals I like--.

I’m sorry. Ok to end this, I’m going to say barn owls. (Dogs/cats/snakes) 

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: tea bruh. I brew that shit and drink it straight. Usually with coffee I prefer iced instead of hot coffee. I think I have more vivid memories about coffee gone wrong: too sweet. Iced coffee is the least amount of times I’ve had it unpleasantly dressed. I’ve even made myself sick before trying to make hot coffee with creamer and sugar. Favorite Fictional Character: Of course there are many good people from so many series, but I’d say Bam from Tower of God, since the TOG series is the one I’m most excited about right now. Dream Trip: no dream destination. Anywhere but here. Even here is ok. I think who you’re with is what makes places fun. But I’m thinking about visiting someone in another country one day.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) When did you create this blog? man who knows. 2011 2012? I was 14 or something when I made this tumblr. Two of my friends at the time was like “”emg u gotta make a tumblr girh!” Didn’t do much with it as you can see. Last movie seen: Deadpool, last night with my dade. He never saw it so we watched it on demand. Before that? ...The Lego Batman movie. That shit was wild. A song you have on repeat: Michiru Mori, by Rurutia. A few months ago it was Shiki, same artist. Also Lemonade Lake by Jungle is pretty nice? Favorite Candy: gummy/fruity candy. Namely, those Airhead strips in the long green containers. Good stuff. Favorite Holiday: ...I don’t do holidays like that Last Book You Read:  Monster!! Monster by Urasawa Naoki. So good. No words. Dr. Tenma is the greatest. Thank you @crazystomper​ for showing me so many beautiful things this summer. Favorite TV Show: No tv! Ugh ok cartoonwise the Amazing World of Gumball is ok, Rick and Morty is ok, but dude it’s about that anime shit. I’m currently following this excessively beautiful show called Mo Dao Zu Shi; it’s a historical Chinese fantasy, has demons, beautiful dudes, zombies, and the scenery--just everything is beautifully drawn and when I watch it I’m blown away. Then I turn and look at typical anime like 

Also of course Monster makes the list again, Parasyte was good, MOB PSYCh0 100% was good, Detroit Metal City, Ushi0 t0 ToRa...

Bruh it’s no wonder my grades are shit! I don’t have the sense to balance pleasure and responsibility! No regrets. This was a wonderful 3 months. 10/10 would do again holy shit

#i had so much fun #holy shit #no regrets #my friends #maybe i talk too much
