Seriously guys, this one’s a doozy. If you don’t like gore, please check out this post. It has a summery of what happened without getting into detail.
Tread lightly and stay safe my dudes.

Minato-sensei: GTFO! Science Squad: Why? Minato-sensei: WHY DO YOU THINK SO?! And clean this goddamn mess *pointing at the aftermath of their explosion* before I kick your asses out! Science Squad: Eeeeekk... HAI!
GotchardCast and Riders' reactions?
Minato's students are all hiding in a corner clinging to each other in terror. Houtaro is mumbling about how his senpai are insane and that he's never bringing them anywhere ever again. They've been traumatized by the explosions (and Sento's hair boner) for life... though at least they don't have to clean after the Science Squad.
Cue Shoutaro meme face as he scolds Philip and Sento for their nonsense. Shinnosuke does the same to Rinna and Hiromi to George (sans the meme faces, replaced by the Disappointed Dad Face of Doom). Takeru and Gentaro pout at and give sad-puppy-dog-eyes to Akari and Kengo respectively, which in their opinion is worse than being scolded XD
And then there's Mama Emu. Let's just say a bit of the Science Squad's souls leave their bodies when he's done with them.

I love that you dropped the "be responsible" warning and wrapped it up with that. Holy shit. I can't breathe.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun.
Just gotta make sure you prepare yourself for the consequences if they do so arise.

Welcome to Brewed Pangolin's Science class.

So with the recent, for lack of a better word, bullshit going on in the U.S., how willing would the Squad be to overthrow the Supreme Court? I bet they could.
Legally, I am obligated to tell you that Violence is Bad and Not the Answer. Morally, the only reason McStabbin' and I didn't make the five o' clock news last Friday is because I didn't want to leave my dogs home alone all day and also Mr. Lucas was sitting on my lap. :/
Antoine: Just--just for argument, is that light treason or heavy treason?
Frank: It's all technically treason--
Trent: Yeah, but, like. Gotham was light treason because shit happens in Gotham all the time and everyone that lives there is an asshole. Bullying San Francisco might be heavy treason, and New York's in the middle, because they're always getting attacked by aliens or some shit.
Mark: Godzilla came there once, right?
Antoine: So what would this be.
Riley: Funny.
Antoine: Apart from that.
Frank: Let's go with light treason, they fucked up first. Goddamn idiots. My fucking father had to drink from a separate fucking water fountain, I thought we were past this.
Mark: Technically, this would be more Jimmy and Riley's departments. Plenty of institutions have gone under because the systems got hacked and a sniper was involved.
Jimmy: Oh, yeah. You cut the lights, you cut the security, you leak what you found and clean out their bank accounts. It's a little dicey because you gotta go fast, but it's not impossible.

some ideas i have for the Teen Villain Alliance
Dr. Danny "I stole my PhD from Harvard at gunpoint" Fenton is Damian's best friend despite being at least six years older than him, while Crown Prince Phantom Dark is more of a father figure to Damian despite them being the same flipping person.
Sam is still Damian's favorite though, she's the one who he approached to join.
someone suggested that each "squad" of teens has a different pest as their squad name. So the inner circle (Danny, Jazz, Sam, Tuck, Dani, maybe Klarion since he was there first) are Wolves, with each having a squad under them. Phantom doesn't have a squad, but Fenton's mad science squad are called rats, Jazz has mice, Sam reclaimed bats from the batfam, tuck has his flies, etc
Phantom and Pharaoh tuck pretending that they have no idea what Tennessee is because Wally mistakes them for the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Damian is convinced that the inner circle are Prince Phantom's harem and convinces Dick of that too when he joins.
I really want to add Dick to the Everlasting Trio guys, I really do, but this is about the Teen Villain Alliance, not young adult villain alliance, so the oldest I feel like I can make the trio are 20, with Dick being 24, so if anyone has any problems with that... i guess you can leave, I've already decided on this plan of action.
The first time Red Hood encounters the TVA, they threaten him into buying them alcohol, he buys the nastiest shit he can think of to mess with the brats. Klarion throws up, Sam drinks straight faced
Red Huntress originally liked being an official justice league recognized super hero, but the stress of work and being constantly relied on to save people wears her down. She confronts Phantom for setting these ghosts on her, but he hasn’t done anything, this is the regular amount of ghosts. In fact, he asked that most of his rogues limit their visits to once every two weeks, so its actually less. Valerie has a mental breakdown and joins the TVA

Perv! Eddie x cheerleader! Reader, what if perv! Eddie went to cheer practice so he can see cheerleader! Reader, and he does that a lot, after two weeks of him doing that she confronts him, and that ends up in reader going to Eddie's trailer just to smoke and have sex with him (maybe this could be enemies to lovers?)
Thank you for requesting! I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it. THERE IS NO REAL SMUT! I did add some dirty talk and making out. The ending can be led into smut, but I did not write it. I hope that is okay <3
Give me a P! E! V! E! R! T!
Tumblr media
Eddie wasn't afraid to admit he hated the popular crowd it was all he talked about. He refused to attend any games or anything with school spirit.
But then a new girl showed up. And she caught Eddie's eye immediately. He could feel his jeans tighten just looking at her. He craved to know what her skin tasted like, how her hair smelled, and if her cunt was a pretty pink like her lip gloss.
He tried to zone out the cheerleader squad as they talked through science class. But when he saw her walk up, she introduced herself and he learned her name.
Y/N....Y/N....he could already see himself panting out her name as his hand wrapped around his cock.
Then she asked to try out for the team. That's when Eddie gave cheerleading a chance.
~~~
After school, he wandered off to the gymnasium. He could hear girls counting all together and the sounds of their hands clapping together. He stood near the door, trying his best to stay hidden in the dark hallway. He looked through the small window, he searched until he saw her.
He smirked once he spotted her, a small skirt and tight tank top. Her hair was thrown up and he imagined holding her ponytail as she gagged on his cock. His hand slowly slipped into his jeans, he palmed his throbbing cock as she bent over. The tight material hugged her frame perfectly. He imagined kneeling behind her, his tongue massaging her cunt as she shook.
He felt himself shudder when she looked in his direction. She squinted as she tried to see if someone was there. But she snapped back to practice when Chrissy called out.
~~~
For the next few weeks, Eddie went to every practice. His eyes watched her and her only. He wasn't sure what was so different about her that made her special.
He thought he was getting away with it. He had no idea that Y/N caught him that first day, and every day after that.
After every cheerleading practice, he'd run off to the bathroom, no need to explain what he did in there. This time, Y/N followed behind. She kept a few feet away when he went into the bathroom. She waited patiently for him to finish whatever he was doing. She planned to follow him to his house and confront him. If he wanted to stalk her, she'd stalk him right back.
~~~
She pulled into the trailer park, many feet behind Eddie to not look suspicious. She parked a few blocks down. By the time he went inside, she was walking up his driveway.
She pounded on his door, she couldn't believe he had the nerve to spy on her. He was a pervert and disgusting. She didn't even want to think about what he thought when he watched her.
Eddie tried his best to hide his fear when he opened the door to see Y/N. She looked pissed, her arms crossed and her right foot smacking against the concrete.
"What in the hell do you think you are doing?" She spazzed.
"Um? Just getting home?" Eddie said in a duh tone.
"No! I mean why in the hell are you spying on me during cheer practice?! I've seen you every day staring through the tiny window in the door. Who the hell even are you? Are you in high school? Or do you sneak in and watch young girls like a fucking creep?"
"I'm Eddie Munson, and sadly I've been stuck in high school longer than necessary. And I don't sneak in to watch young girls, I sneak in to watch you." His tone dropped as he spoke. His brown eyes had no shame in looking her up and down.
Was it weird she felt flattered? Now that she was up close with him, she realized he was attractive.
"That's gross!" She gasped
"Look! I'm sorry! I think you're insanely attractive and I tend to go extreme. Can I offer you something to make this go away? Money? Weed?"
She went to protest but honestly, free weed sounded great.
~~~
Two hours later she was on Eddie's couch, smoking another joint as they talked about random things. As her sober thoughts went out the window, so did her negative thoughts on Eddie.
"So...when you spied on me, what kind of things were you thinking about?" She muttered she felt a little bit of embarrassment for wanting to know. This guy was a pervert and admitted to being. But here she was asking what he thought about her.
"Oh pretty girl," he teased, knocking her chin with his knuckle. "You expect to bend over in a tiny skirt and not expect my dick to get hard?"
"Um I guess?"
"Did you expect me to think about bending you over myself?" He asked, moving closer to her body. She eyed his movements.
"No" she squeaked out
He moved closer
"Did you expect me to think about shoving my tongue in that pretty wet pussy?" He whispered his nose against hers.
"Nah uh."
"Did you expect me to watch you and fuck my hand until it's covered in sticky cum. Then yanking you out of practice, pushing you to your knees, and making you suck my hand clean?" She felt his words smack her lips, that's how close he got in a matter of seconds.
"Do you expect me to kiss you?"
"Yes," she said, her heart raced at the sick smirk that crossed his lips.
"Oh? Is that right? Is someone turned on? Me being a pervert and jerking my dick off to you makes you feel special and desired?" He mocked, but she didn't care.
Her lungs burned. Her throat burned. And fuck, her cunt ached to be touched.
"Please"
His lips were on hers before she finished begging. His breath tasted of weed and beer, and she liked it. She climbed on his lap, pushing his shoulders back as she deepened the kiss.
She didn't want slow and romantic sex. She wanted to be used like his fantasies. She wanted him to fuck her with his perverted hands, his abused cock, and gross thoughts. She didn't care if he jerked off to her like she was the cover of a porno magazine.
She wanted to be desired, wanted, and fuck it- she wanted to be his only wet dream. In a way, she loved the power she had on him. Out of everyone, he fixated on her.
She whimpered as his tongue explored her mouth. His hands touching her everywhere with no goal in mind.
Maybe she was just as perverted as he was to be okay with it all.

Freestyle love (Steddie holiday drabble)
Written for @steddieholidaydrabbles, day 22 prompt, Sports AU.
Nobody ever wanted Eddie Munson on their swim squad, and uni competition was no different. Until Steve Harrington decided to play by the rules.
WC: 966. Rating: T.
CW: none really. Tags: Enemies to lovers, whump, university/college AU.
***
"Munson's freestyle times smash half the teams.'" Steve pushed his wet hair from his eyes, double-checked the stopwatch. “He’s in."
"That science geek pond-scum?” asked Steve's swim co-captain, standing with him beside the pool. "No way. You read the numbers backwards again, Harrington?"
"Shut up. I’m calling this one."
When Steve broke the news, Munson pulled off his swim-cap and a mass of dark, damp hair tumbled out. “One of your teammates said my tats automatically disqualify me,” said Munson.
“That’s bullshit.” Steve actually found Munson’s freaky tattoos bizarrely compelling. Oh, and the body beneath—all lean rope-like muscle, not massive shoulders, but a decent swimmer’s physique. “We need you. You beat most of the sports scholarship guys.”
“I know.” Munson shrugged. “And you can take my place on your dumb squad and stuff it up their buttholes.”
“What the heck, man? Why did you trial, if you don’t want in?”
“To show you over-privileged frat-house dicks you ain’t special. I qualify every year—you’re just the first knucklehead to notice. Anyhooo.” He poked his tongue out stupidly. Steve planted his hands on his hips and couldn’t glare harder. “I’m off to Who Soc.”
“What Soc?”
Munson’s shoulder clipped Steve’s as he passed—possibly an accident, but he nearly toppled Steve into the pool.
“Screw you, man! Crawl back to your den of Satanist freaks, like I care.”
“Yeah?” Munson poked out his tongue again, wiggled his fingers. “Hexing you, Harrington. Oooooh, bet you’re pissing yourself.”
***
Eddie had simply been getting one back for the little guys, against all those over-pumped numbskulls. 
He still felt bad when he heard what happened at the inter-state semis—some moron dived into the pool on top of Harrington in the shallow end, breaking his leg.
It bugged Eddie. So much he wound up visiting Steve at the hospital.
When Eddie sidled into Steve’s room, Steve’s pale face—peeking from behind his plastered leg in traction—said it all: What the heck?
“Hey,” mumbled Eddie. “Guess I’m the last person you expected.”
“On my list of expected visitors, you were somewhere below Elvis.” Harrington seemed pissed. Also genuinely bewildered.
He was still sexy as hell.
Especially now Eddie couldn’t find it in his cold, metal-loving heart to hate the guy. Mmmm, and was it kinda wrong to wanna lick those well-muscled arms, and picture him shirtless… even when Harrington glowered at him from a hospital bed?
Eddie raised his palms in half-hearted surrender. “I owe you an explanation. I’ve been doing swim trials since Middle School. My time is always good—the place I grew up in was right by a lake—yet nobody ever gave me my place on the squad before. This face never fits.” He gurned a silly grin. “Then you went and flew in the face of all the laws in the universe and offered me ‘in.’ I guess it... blew me away.”
“I was only following the goddamn rules.” Steve grumpily puffed his flatter-than-usual hair from his eyes.
“Yeah, and I was a dick, and the Hex thing was dumb. I didn’t really… you know…”
“I don’t blame you for my stupid accident.” Steve rolled his eyes. “Contrary to popular opinion, I'm not a complete moron. I'm scraping a pass in English Lit, okay?” As the atmosphere softened, Eddie shuffled nearer Steve’s bed. “Good job. Who's gonna keep me here on a sports scholarship now?”
“Sorry, man.”
“Jesus, it’s not your fault!” Up close, Harrington looked exhausted, possibly even in pain, with dark smudgy shadows around his eyes. “You know, you can do something to make this less shit.”
Eddie’s heart squeezed oddly—gratefully? “What?”
“Take my place in the squad.” Steve mumbled toward hands clasped in his lap. “I recorded your times, made it official. The place is yours to claim. I'd tell the team myself… if any of them came to visit.”
“You’re kidding?”
“Nobody’s got time for a swim co-captain who’ll never swim competitively again.” 
A lump clogged Eddie’s throat. Harrington’s face worked strangely, too… Shit, shit, shit! Eddie reached out, tentatively squeezed Steve’s shoulder. Steve looked up sharply, eyes large and liquid. Damn, the boy was tense.
“That stinks,” said Eddie.
“Yeeeah.” Steve’s laugh was shaky, while Eddie’s mind raced: 
“Dude, I’m in a ton of non-sports societies. D & D, model-making, Who Soc… Uh, maybe not that one for you. I can bring a few of the guys and gals here, see if you get into anything.”
“I don’t need YOU to find me friends.” Harrington’s spikiness proved short-lived. He unleashed a resigned sigh: “Look, man, I’m not exactly in the mood for parties, but… If you wanna come back… that would be cool.”
Suddenly, neither of them could look at each other. Eddie’s face was burning. Could he actually be into me?
“Tho’ if you’re not fresh from swim practice when you arrive, I’m not interested, Munson.”
Eddie hooted: “You blackmailing me?”
“I can play dirty, ya know, buck expectations, too.” Steve went in for the kill. He smiled up at Eddie, a proper, hot-as-hell smile, which reached his too-pretty brown eyes. 
Is he hitting on me?!? Eddie gawked like a goldfish.
“See you tomorrow?”
***
On the day of the national finals, Steve watched from the stands. When Eddie slammed home for victory on the final leg of the freestyle relay, Steve was on his feet—okay, propped by his crutches—cheering his head off.
As soon as Eddie could get away, he clambered, wet and dripping, through to the rear of the stands and planted an even wetter kiss on Steve's lips. Steve threw his arms around his boyfriend. It was great to finally be with somebody to whom only the real things in life mattered. 
"Love you, Champ," he whispered in Eddie’s ear.
"Love you, too." Eddie kissed him again.
Victory had never felt so hot.

Hiromi: What is this new devilry you and the science squad have conjured up? George: Uhhh... I mostly did the blueprints with Rinna's help. Sento: Welp Let's fire it up, BABY! WOOOO...!
Rider Mom and Dad Friend: Oh no you don't!!! *demonic roar* Rider KICK!!! Lovekov: *joins Emu and Shinnosuke* Zoomies of DOOM!!! George: *first one to run away* IKKI!!! SAVE AND PROTECT ME!! Ikki: NO WAY, DARLING! You are going to face the consequences. No smex tonight! *Moves away* I'll fix you up later and visit you in the hospital.
Riders Reaction?
They've all run for cover (except for the designated wranglers of the Science Squad, they're all grabbing their respective member to keep them from running away from the consequences)
In addition to George not getting any and being banned from the labs by Hiromi, Sento and Philip aren't getting any and are also banned from the Garage, Belt-san banned Rinna from the Drive Pit until further notice, Akari has to live with her pure ghost boy(friend) pouting at her, and the SoL is not letting Tetsuo work on any of their swords

Part fifty-seven of Shizuroth, aka, the SOLDIER General's Self Saving Shizun.
Ao3 link.
Previous parts: forty-seven forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five, fifty-fix
-
Crossing his hands behind his neck, Zack looks up at the 1/10000 holographic model of Midgar, proudly displaying what it would look like once they finally finished all the plates. It's pretty impressive and detailed, all lit up and glowing and stuff. It's taller than he is and takes most of the room. It's pretty impressive.
Zack glaces around the room, wondering how long he ought to keep looking at empty corners before he could call it.
While the SOLDIER Seconds scoured the Science floors, the Thirds had been tasked with checking the rest of the building for any sign of the experimental subject that had somehow gotten out of the labs. Zack had been assigned the Skyview hall - which, though a pretty damn cool place to patrol, was also pretty much bound to be a waste of time. There's like half a dozen floors between Skyview and the Science floor, and the only way in is through the elevator. How was some specimen going to use an elevator?
Still, pretty cool. Though he'd been to the Skyview about a dozen times now, it's not something you can get bored of. To a country boy like him, the hologram displays are pretty much magic.
"Any escaped specimens please come out, come out, whenever you are," Zack calls and wonders how the rest of his squad was doing. Maybe they could go out and do some monster hunting after this. "Heere specimen, specimen, specimen -"
"... Um?"
… um? "Huh?" Zack asks and looks around. That was definitely a voice. "Who's there?"
"... oh no, I wasn't discovered at all," is the mumbled reply. "Um, ignore me, then, please! I'm not a specimen!"
It's coming… from the display. There's someone hiding inside the model, underneath the glowing holograms.
"Uh, I think you better come out of there, man," Zack says, more confused than anything. Maybe a tourist that had gotten stuck when they closed the building down? "I don't think you're supposed to be there. What are you even doing there, man?"
"... Nothing?"
"... Yeah, that's not going to fly. Sorry, man." Zack rests his hands on his hips. "If you don't come out, I'm probably gonna have to drag you out. Or something."
"Umm… I'll - I'll come out," the voice answers, and someone comes crawling out from underneath the model of Midgar.
It's a kid, dressed up in a… hospital gown?
"Uh," Zack says, looking him up and down. "... You are the escaped specimen, aren't you?"
The kid squirms, looking uncomfortable and nervous.  He fiddles with the edge of the gown. "I'm - not?" he offers hopefully.
"You literally have a Science Department bracelet on," Zack points out, a bit uncomfortable. He didn't know the specimen was a human - never mind a kid.
The kid clasps a hand around the bracelet and looks at him imploringly. His pupils are completely blown and his pale hair is a mess. "I'm not supposed to - I was going to - please don't take me back."
Zack scratches at the back of his head awkwardly. He doesn't really know what to do here. The kid doesn't even have shoes on. "Um, what were you in the labs for?"
"Oh, I was going to join the SOLDIER program," the kid says, a little too earnest. "And then I was going to spy for someone. But then Professor Hojo said my brain was useful. And I think he was maybe going to do something about my brain. Like cut it out maybe? So I ran away."
"Uh," Zack says confusedly, flashing back to some stuff Kunsel had told him about the Science floors. "Wait, hang on - spy?"
"Oh no, I wasn't supposed to say that," the kid says and curls up, fiddling with the hem of his pale blue gown. "Please forget I said that."
Zack shakes his head, too confused not to ask, "Who were you spying on? And why?"
The kid squirms a little. "Oh, well, the Professor? Because he's getting SOLDIERs killed? I was supposed to find out what he was doing. And I did," the kid says and nods proudly. "He's trying to figure out how to give SOLDIERs lethal doses of Mako without permanently killing them."
Zack gapes at him. "He's - what? Why?!"
"Because there's a reaction," the kid explains earnestly. "Give a subject enough Mako to momentarily stop the heart and give them some level of neurological damage and Mako will flood into those internal injuries. Hojo theorised that the damaged neurons are then replaced."
"... by the Mako?" Zack asks, feebly.
"What are you doing?" asks a new voice directly behind Zack, who immediately whirls around and grabs a sword, stepping up in front of the kid to defend him. 
Then he sees who it is. "Genesis - sir?" he says weakly.
It can't be anyone else - no one but the Firsts get away with shirking uniform regs, and Genesis Rhapsodos' style is pretty well known. The red leather is unmistakable.
Genesis narrows his eyes and then looks down at Zack's standard issue SOLDIER sword. "What are you doing?" he asks dangerously.
"Uh, well," Zack says and panics.
The kid behind him is the escaped specimen he's supposed to be bringing in. Genesis is here probably to also bring him in. But the kid is a kid. And he's obviously been drugged. And there was something about his brain?!
Genesis arches his brows.
"Um," Zack says, knowing very well that he can't stand against a SOLDIER First Class and yet not sure what else he can do. Ahh, he's screwed! "Can we talk about this?"
Genesis looks at him, at his sword, and then past him at the kid. Then he looks at Zack again. "Are you seriously pointing your sword at me to defend an escaped specimen?"
"I guess so?" Zack says helplessly. "I mean, he's just a kid, sir?"
"I'm fifteen, actually!" the kid pipes up behind him. "I'm not that much younger than you."
Zack grimaces at Genesis. "Please don't kill him. Or me," he says weakly. "That would suck. Sir."
Genesis snorts at him. "What's your name, SOLDIER Third Class?"
"It's… Zack,"  Zack says, wondering what he'd do if Genesis drew his sword on him. Maybe he could distract the First just enough for the kid to run to the elevators? "Zack Fair, sir."
"You have the makings of a hero, Zack Fair," the First Class says. Then he looks past Zack entirely. "Are you alright?"
… huh?
"I'm a bit cold, and I think Hojo injected me with a Mind Source," the kid says plaintively, blinking owlishly at Genesis. "Everything is going very fast, but also very slowly?"
Genesis clicks his tongue, displeased. "They do that, yes. It'll pass," he says, and with a single finger pushes Zack's sword aside. It's only then Zack registers that Genesis is holding a duffle bag in his other hand. "Come on, let's get you changed -"
"Wait," Zack says as the kid steps past him. "Wait, wait, wait - what? Do you two know each other?"
"Yes, and I will be getting him out of the building before someone less sympathetic finds him and takes him back to the labs," Genesis says, handing the bag to the kid, who shakily rummages through it for clothes. "Is that a problem, SOLDIER Third Class Zack?"
Zack sputters in a ridiculous urge to object and then shakes his head and quickly puts his sword away. "N-no, sir, no problem here!"
"You saw nothing and you know nothing," Genesis says, while the kid hastily pulls on trousers and a shirt. "Is that understood, SOLDIER?"
"Yes, sir," Zack answers.
"Good," Genesis nods and then ushers the slightly swaying kid towards the elevators, murmuring. "Come on, Chadley, let's get you out of here…"
Zack watches them go. Moments later, he's alone, feeling a bit like he'd just been run over by something fast and intangible.
… Yeah, Shinra is really not at all what he was expecting, is it?

The wildest ep of the Macgyver reboot
Sometimes I think fondly about Macgyver (2016) season 3 episode 13 Wilderness + Training + Survival....and how absolutely batshit this episode was. If the creators had decided to confidently maintain these chaos levels, I think the show would have been better and had a longer run in general (but that's just my opinion).
Tumblr media
Some random insane details that got fully brushed over but make me lose my mind every time:
Mac actively choosing to bring no emergency supplies out of pure god complex.
That time the bad guy leader tore Mac's beanie off and grabbed him by the hair sexual-style. Absolutely no other character has thought to grab Mac by the hair in the original show or the reboot like wtf
EDIT I've been reminded by some friendly reblogs that hair-pulling happens in a couple other episodes. Regardless, it cracks me up every single time. The guy seems to do it out of pure frustration and that is so funny to me.
Riley wearing acrylics into the wilderness
The bad guy just up and massacred his entire squad so he wouldn't have to share the money. Like he just shot them all in cold blood. That's some GOT shit.
Mac getting shot in the thigh from like two inches away and not having his entire femur shattered.
Riley and Bozer running into a clearing scattered with dead bodies?? With Mac bleeding out (?) in the middle?? No questions asked.
At least two of the bad guys were SEVERELY injured and they just got left to die in the absolute middle of nowhere after all that emphasis on how dangerous the wilderness is lmfao
RILEY WEARING ACRYLICS INTO THE WILDERNESS
Bozer being totally confused by the word yarrow implying that he did literally none of the reading.
That one guy who was blinded by burning poison oak and left to die in the woods
Mac doing math and science word problems outloud while a group of murdering criminals stare at him in confusion
Why did he have a random hillbilly friend in the mountains
Why did he suddenly have a pickup truck for the occasion
anyway i miss Macgyver and i wish it would come back RIP ok bye
