Season 2, Episode 5: Petty Thieves

Here we are, another tale of the mean streets. It's funny though, as gritty as these city landscapes are, they always seem a bit too clean. They did try to dirty up this Canadian city though and it's somewhat believable.

The episode starts with some great "street dance" music.

That's a pretty sweet Walkman this guy has got. The background music made me think he was going to start breakdancing and I was all for it.

Instead he just runs and steals this bag lady's bag.

Although its not all it seems as it seems to be an elaborate scheme where the bag lady makes a drop in the trash can and some other guy picks it up. But the weird thing is, the Walkman guy was there to distract the cops and get them to chase him. What if he got caught?

And here is our hero, Mickey who actually doesn't seem to have done a thing during this, except walk around like an idiot. And what is up with him, is he just three children and a giant coat?

After this entertaining opening, the Hitchhiker steps from behind a tree. Has he been hiding here the whole time?

He tells us that Mickey does what he has to, to survive these tough streets. Even here there is love and honor and if he betrays it, he could upset the balance and turn his soul inside out.

What the hell? Is his innards going to become his outwards? That would be an interesting twist.

Mickey and his girlfriend Pearl seem to be squatters in some crappy apartment. He is all excited to tell her about the job he just did for Mr. Strega, but she is upset he is getting involved in criminal activity. By the way, Strega is Italian for witch, but actually I think he spells it Stregga so not sure if that changes the meaning.

Pearl apparently has a pretty big doll collection. I wonder if any of them look like Mickey's mother?

This was the best scene in the show. He stands up and says "We ain't normal!" referring to the fact she is a hooker with a bunch of creepy dolls in the apartment. She informs him that she is no longer hooking. She also said that they are like one guy. I wonder what that means. They end up having sex and this was interesting...

It looks like this doll is on his ass. This other doll was totally shocked.

Mickey brings Pearl to his meeting with Mr. Stregga as requested by him. Mickey wants to be a bagman and Mr. Stregga wants to sleep with Pearl. This ends up being the deal they make, which of course Pearl is thrilled with.

Wow, what a scum bag.

Back at the apartment, Pearl is in a state. She burns her hand and does not even feel it.

Kind of looks like the stigmata. She kept repeating that they are "one guy" while in this drug induced condition. I can't figure out what this means.

She meets up with Mr. Stregga...

Ha ha! He's clearly never seen a woman before.

Now Mickey's earned the right to be the bagman. He pretends to be a fisherman on the pier until he gets the signal to open up the sacks with the drugs.

Wow that was easy. But what's this?

It looks like some undercover cops are on to this scheme. They decide to make their move tomorrow. I mean, why wouldn't they just arrest this guy now? They have him in sight and how do they know another job is going down tomorrow?

The job went so well that Mickey thought Mr. Stregga would make this a regular thing, but he doesn't usually use the same guy twice. Mickey takes this well. Just kidding! He decides to instead to show up anyways and force Pearl to be the bagman. He knocks out the guy who is supposed to be doing the job and for some reason we never see that other guy again.

The cops move in and chase Pearl, while Mickey just yells at her to run.

Mickey shoots one of the cops. There is no way he is going to get away with this.

The other cop shoots Pearl. They are totally screwed.

But somehow they limp away from the cops. How did they not get caught?

Mickey proves to be even more of a scumbag by letting Pearl just die on his couch without getting her medical attention. She kept repeating again they are "one guy." Seriously what does that mean?

Mickey smashes a doll against the wall.

With Pearl dead, he decides to pin the whole thing on her so Stregga's goons will go after her instead of him. This guy really deserves what's coming to him.

Looks like some bad stuff is coming his way.

Suddenly, he notices his hand is burned. This looks familiar.

As he is running, he starts to look different.

Well that makes no sense.

Oh no he's getting boobs!

Mickey has made the full transformation into Pearl when Stregga's guy finds him.

Here comes the blow torch.

Oh I get it, they are one guy! Wait what?

The Hitchhiker emerges from the shadows again and says that Pearl loved Mickey like no one else (I can't see why) and they were one against the odds. But when he used her badly and suffered her fate and was tried by his own conscience (what conscience?) and sentenced by an unwritten law. What law would that be?

This one was just okay. The twist was sort of interesting, even though it made no sense. I'm not sure what the deal with the dolls was though. I thought maybe he was going to turn into a doll. But I guess we've seen that before...

The next episode looks really great, so I'm pretty excited for it. Until then, stay away from dolls and blow torches.

HE'S GONNA STEAL--NOT JUST YOUR HEART--BUT EVERYTHING YOU OWN AS WELL!!!

#chrisrin doodles #grian #mcyt #persona 5 #hermitcraft #i should probably come up with a name for this au? #anyways GRIAN! #i didn't have a firm persona in mind for him #but i was thinking about maybe someone like artful dodger? #from oliver twist #ill be frank i know nothing about the novel #i was just looking last night for famous thieves but specifically like #very sterotypical pickpockets/classic thieves #not very gentleman-y at all #he's probably a wind user #super quick on his feet #he does not have a gun he just throws explosives #if youre wondering about his outfit i think it's VERY fitting for grian to have his ideal version of 'rebellion' #be literally like. a petty robber who causes absolute chaos #he still has his shackles on #theyre broken #he just got out of jail #he's going to rob another bank #he's going to be a Fucking Menace #and no one can stop him #his codename i think would change every single time #scar just calls him something new every time they go in #and the rest of the thieves just roll with it

[daydreamerwonderkid]

How fucking funny would it be if they kept reposting my art but in different shitty color swaps?

Just make a whole ass Pride flag out of my Jason Todd fan art, why dontcha? 🤣🤣

#dreamer talks #dreamer doodles #art theft #art thieves #stolen art #look this shit is just funny to me now #im actually super fucking tempted to be petty and do it for him XD #fucking clown 🤡 #aight aight I'm going to bed now #thanks for the support guys #y'all are awesome

So Linked Universe Hyrule Warriors is basically Tiny!Time (Mask) and Wind who end up fighting with Wars during his adventure and sorta mentoring him, right?

Well, I had a hilarious idea: what if Lana was trying to summon the Hero of Legend because of all of his exploits and experience, but she kept missing and that’s why Wind, Mask, Ravio, Marin and everyone else that’s Legend-adjacent shows up instead?

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #legend of zelda #hyrule warriors #lu warriors #lu wind #lu time #lu mask #lu ravio #I just think it’s hilarious that Legend kept narrowly avoiding ANOTHER adventure #and they kept MISSING because Legend was in Hytopia or smth #…now I kinda want that AU where Legend is in Hyrule Warriors and is SO DONE with everything and everyone #and Leg and Wars fighting like petty wet cats over the course of the game #and when LU kicks off they have this hidden developed rapport that is super complicated #because to the outside observer they seem like they despise one another #but the two are actually as thick as thieves and have a grudging respect for each other #and their ribbing is their love language for one another #but dude really was dodging the draft huh? lmao

[raifuujin]

He finally got a win! I (a clearly unbiased person in this race*cough*) say he deserved it. Congrats, Kid!

#kaitou kid #I'll do something more celebratory later. Like. Few days kinda later #But congrats Kaito; second time was the charm #gentleman thief tournament #Also I imagine it like #After the first tournament; Lupin and Kaito and the others left team rocket to their win #And slapped the 'gentleman/phantom' add on to thieving #Out of pettiness

[jammglass]

Steal Smoked Fish still makes me cry every time. Cry with me.

#tmg #steal smoked fish #thinking about how JD said that he says names of his old friends under his breath during this song #thinking about how in that same recording #he ends the song early as his voice breaks and he just repeats feast when you can hoarsely and energetically like a banner like an anthem #god bless all petty thieves #Youtube

Account Deletion

I went to log into deviantART just now after having posted earlier this morning and it appears that in the time it took my mom and I to leave from the house, get coffee and breakfast, and come back... my account was fucking deleted.

I can only suspect that someone reported my account and succeeded in getting it taken down out of spite. With how I have had to double down on my models being stolen and ultimately removing the downloads to all of my MMD content, that's the only thing that makes sense. I'll be emailing dA staff and hopefully in the next few days I will be getting a response from them.

Just in case, I did have an alt account that I used to help further the reporting of those who stole my content, so just in case I can't get my main deviantART account back, below is the link to my alt account should it have to become my new main. -n-

#mmd #mikumikudance #miku miku dance #deviantart #deviantART #dA #account deletion #account take down #account takedown #wrongful termination #psa #probably one of the stupid thieves trying to get one last petty fucking move in for the holidays #wouldn't surprise me one fucking bit

[hildegardladyofbones]

This took way too long to finish, but here it is anyway (5 whole days later)

This is Hildegard, the thief, wearing stolen clothes of course.

I got skyrim on monday and I only knew about the dragons and the "you're finally awake" meme beforehand, so I would've named her something more Khajiiti had I known where the Khajiits are from, HOWEVER I did decide that she changed her name when she got to Skyrim.

So far my favourite things about this game are: the fact that you can throw corpses into rivers, the fact that you can ride horses up vertical mountains, and Brynjolf, who makes me giggle and kick my feet like a schoolgirl in love.

#it's not at all surprising that me #the local cats (1998) fanatic #chose the khajiit species #as you could guess i am loving riften so far #apparently you can become the guild master of the thieves guild #which is very exciting #i doubt ill ever finish the dragonborn quest #im just here for petty crimes #and brynjolf of course #brynjolf my beloved #skyrim #elder scrolls #elder scrolls v #khajiit #fanart #skyrim fanart #dovahkiin #dragonborn #art #digital art #original character #oc #character art

[musicboxghost]

All of the missions in Jack and Eugene's World Tour are named after Mountain Goats songs????

That's beautiful. Radio Boyfriends continue to melt my heart.

#I saw steal smoked fish #and my soul left my body for a second #eugene woods #jack holden #that was an even more niche band when z day happened in universe #radio boyfriends #jack and eugene #god bless all petty thieves #God bless all my old friends #And God bless me too why pretend #feast when you can #dream when there's nothing to feast on #zombies run #abel township #runner five #zr

This is a public callout of Dr. Brio, because he hasn’t listened to me so far:

If you can’t afford the acids you need for your experiments, you’re going to need to put them off until you can

STOP DRAINING THE ACID FROM THE CHAMBER OF MY SLEDGEHAMMER! Do you know how long it takes for me to synthesize that stuff?!

What, am I going to need to lock it up-?

…

Attention Cortex Castle, my hammer is missing. I advise we check Brio’s room first

#unpreparedness on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine #my learned doctor colleague #we’re megalomaniacal mad scientists #not petty thieves #at least I’m not #that’s my only weapon too #also stop stealing my ice cream

Villain getting handcuffed and put in the van

🦹🏼: OH THANK GOD YOUR FINALLY HERE!!! GET ME AWAY FROM THESE FREAKS!!!!

🐷: … you mean the top three hero’s??? You can’t call the hero’s of our nation freaks?!

🦹🏼: Look at them!!! The blonde clearly has rabies, he’s literally frothing at the mouth and has tried to bite me once already?!! The red and white haired freak in the boiler man suit hasn’t blinked once since he arrived, not once!!!

🦹🏼:And, and the green one?!! His smile hasn’t wavered, not even when he dislocated my knee with his steal shoes, not even when I managed to have a street lamp fall on him, not when the unblinking maintenance guy set my cap on fire and trapped the remains ice(chocking me!!), not when the blonde dog blew up a overhanging statue and almost killed me and he smiled even brighter!!!

🦹🏼: in fucking fact he’s only gotten happier?!!! He’s loving that he’s holding that rabid fucker back from biting me!!! He’s a psychopath!!! He’s a deranged menace who not only enjoys hurting me but gets satisfaction from being hit, frankly I don’t think his heavy breathing is from exertion, I think he’s imagining letting the blonde rip out my spleen rn

🐷: you’re the insane one here buddy, those three are shining pillars of our community and you should show some respect!

🦹🏼: this can’t be legal, it’s at minimum excessive force, and it feels cruel and unusual

#wtf do i tag this as #anyway their society is so fucked up #like for the most part villains are just petty thieves #who after being terrorized buy into terrorist ideology #and I imagine Deku Todo and Kacchan are just terrifying to come up against with no warning #just Dekus unbridled smile 😀 #Deku and his fucken bone snapping glee #Kacchan gets nearly delirious fighting villains like he’s feeling a natural high for sure #he literally growls at people #and then there my dear stone faced son Shoto #aka it’s not personal I just have a lotta family issues and no respect for authority so fuck you and the click you claim also ACAB #honestly him and Deku are so unhinged that Kacchan almost seems just a little quirky compared to them💀 #he put poor sero in a glacier so large they had to shut down the new Olympics for a bit 🙃 #and then did it again to Kacchan but he was able to tunnel out so they just kept the ball rolling 💀

The disrespect not only fandom but IDW continually puts on my boy’s name 😭 I hate Jet’s treatment I really do

#i don’t have many complaints abt IDW or the writing but I think for the most part it’s so good #but this right here I could write an essay on #if y’all thought shadow has been written badly y’all don’t even know the pain and suffering Jet stans go thru #they really straight up refuse to acknowledge any development or story from the riders games #like how the hell do you make Jet a descendant of aliens and just never bring that up again #they literally only use the rogues to clown on them as petty stupid thieves #also the fact that Jet was so blasè about saving sonic and the world during the metal virus arc literally does not add up #he’s already helped sonic save the world TWICE #and the entire ending of zero gravity was Jet seeing sonic as his equal and setting aside petty bs to forge a friendly rivalry #like I literally do not understand why he’s written the way he is in the comics

[monsterhugger]

finished the phantom troupe arc. dude that shit was heartbreaking

#i have so many thoughts. struggling to articulate #like. it's hard. they're fucking awful but also they're human #they mourn and they make bad decisions out of concern for the people they care about #they're a family that came out of a literal garbage dump #but also they're not underdogs trying to make an unjust world better. they carried out a genocide #at their most morally pure they're petty thieves #idk. as is my rule i havent delved too deep into the fandom so idk how most feel on how the arc ends #but i like it a lot. its ruthless and heartbreaking in a way a classic shonen Final Showdown just wouldn't be #sorry to my followers i will be hxh blogging periodically lol it's hitting

[maskyartist]

so like i listened to this too much-

-and now ive got ANOTHER Jail Owner!Ryuji idea by accident :)

very loose ideas rn i'll think about this more, but pls enjoy my first attempt at an 80s arcade Ryuji

#masky says #persona 5 #ryuji sakamoto #shadow ryuji sakamoto #i dont want this to be a palace #cause i LOVE the idea of Ryuji unknowingly stealing other peoples desires and making them crave attention and affection #like the way he craves the thieves attention n affection that he wont admit to #his shadow is stealing desires n making everyone as miserable and alone as he feels out of petty spite and i love that shit #let Ryuji play dirty let him be mean #he deserves a mean boy arc #Youtube
