#learning that there are things that could be disagreements in a shared living situation that i never even considered#everyone warned me about division of chores and differing desires for house decor or like. use of the bathroom.#but now it's like bro we already have a 50'' tv we do not need a bigger one. what the fuck.#don't offer to pay for it yourself i straight up don't want that in our living room.#or like. being willing to save up for a good investment vs wanting to get something good enough for now and upgrading further down#the latter has its merits especially depending on what it is but it sounds like a waste of money for some smaller things#whyyyyyyy are we buying this shitty 20 dollar shoe rack right now#that we'll need to either store away or sell when we get the nice 60 dollar one. why can't we just wait and make do with our stairway rn.#anyways. not to get extreme about it but this is another reason why i can't see myself getting married <3#i will not compromise and i am so very particular about my things and i cannot imagine anyone else particular in the same way i am#and i would not make someone else compromise for me bc i don't think i would be compromising for them and that just isn't right#they speak!

WAOF LIVE REACTIONS:
Chapter 3.
🩷🧡💙💜💛
I love how this chapter starts with @pippelulu and I complaining about how bad we are at writing weddings and musing over when they'll happen in the story. I don't think a single wedding happened over the course of 31 chapters.
This was... probably the most confusing opening scene ever written. And I can't remember which one of us is responsible for it. Why do Aiko and Hadzuki think they're doomed? Why does Onpu say "who would want to do that" after Doremi says she's getting married when 1. Onpu is already engaged and 2. It seems later on in the scene no one even heard Doremi anyway? And again WHY did we have to ruin Momoko for ✨comedy✨.
"bluenette" - yeah that was PippElulu and also very 2000s fanfiction coded.
Now at this point it's well established that this story could not care less about continuity and plot holes and everything that happened was just for the sake of "random xD" but WHY was this mentioned lmfao. The scene opened with everyone sitting around in the living room before the conga madness. So were they all just chilling watching porn together? Did the TV malfunction at that very moment? Also love the idea of Aiko beating the shit out of a conga line while some corny porn music plays in the background lmao
Spot the kids who knew nothing about currencies and the cost of jewellery lmao. Also wouldn't that be forbidden magic? Inflation bro...
MELON LORD MENTION 🍉🍉WHY DID WE INCLUDE THIS CONSTANTLY?
lmao sorry bestie but I love how PippElulu called Aiko getting excited over the engagement of one of her best friends being "childish and silly."
Momoko forgive me... you are so smart and intelligent and wise and not the melon lord. I beg you.
Again with the "random xD" lol why is there a whole scene of the FLATY5 fighting like kids in their own home before Aiko just appears out of nowhere.
Lmao pippelulu and I were laughing over this the other day. Homie really wrote a whole paragraph of Aiko turning into a pixie and it was just never brought up again. Where is the LORE.
Oh, and Leon transforms too (of course).
Leon took Aiko's chin and leaned in, pressing his lips to hers. They stayed like that for at LEAST 6 seconds.
This sentence reminds me of when my friend and I were flipping through 50 Shades of Grey looking for the worst lines and one was "we stayed like that for minutes. Many minutes."
I totally stole that first piece of dialogue from a Charmed episode and that's probably why I kept it in.
PippElulu and I would send each other our parts over ffn pms and there is in fact a conversation where we argue over this.
This was posted on PippElulu's account originally so she could have just taken it out instead of adding in her author's note... OR AT THE VERY LEAST CORRECTED MY YOU'RE
"The others are acting hormonal; they're acting like 12 year old boys"
Well, makes sense given it was written by 12 year old girls 😀👍
I don't have anything to say about this scene, I just need to make sure PippElulu reads it.
But the next line has Hadzuki summoning a bubble wand? Literally what were all the random ass abilities we were giving these girls. We fr went "magical girls? oh so any magic will do then, right?"
"THE MELON LORD COMMAND THAT YOU PEASANTS GIVE HER A PIE! GIVE THE MELON LORD PIE AND SHE WILL FORGIVE THE SELFISH DESIRES OF THE WATER BENDER!"
Momoko I am so sorry...
And Aiko has electrokinesis too????
I genuinely had no idea what "overrated" meant when this was written so I have to laugh every time I use that word to refer to the fic. Like bestie you have no clue what you're yapping about 😭
< ch2 | ch4 >
#i think this was the first chapter we didnt write together in the same room#idk when the next one we wrote together will be but im sure ill have memories of it when it happens#waof reread#waof ch3#bri rambles

I feel like the cbd gummies have crack in them or something addictive. I keep thinking take 100mg a day. And then I'm like bro... this 40$ monthly cost that's with 20% off... it's like 50$ with shipping and no discount a month for 50MG... will become like weed then I'll have no disposable income....
I mean but I keep thinking take more. Just do 100mg a day. I didn't feel like this on the tinctures...but I was only taking 15MG.
The gummy wasn't that good but it wasn't bad tasting... but it wasn't like idk let's say candy. I can't think of a candy I really like atm...
Idk if my brain is like omg SWEETS even if it's not that great tasting. Or if my brain is like WOAH this cbd is doing something and more of it could do more.
Idk, I don't want to spend hundreds on cbd. I've been looking at flower and this can turn into a very high monthly cost... I would buy a vape if they were sold anywhere. They are cleaner and smooth and I like them.
I really want to vape my weed cartridges... I'm starting to think Maybe- at some point I got to accept that I'm not going to get any better than this. Like if I start to smoke some weed, and it gets worse it will very slowly and marginally get worse over time, it won't go full swing. And it was getting better slowly over time when I was smoking.
Also I know the warning signs- mental pictures and the voice getting more intelligent, louder, more creative, etc.
So I've got to figure out when I think the benefits outweigh the risks... I won't be one of those guys who drops hundreds on cbd even though research shows people with schizophrenia who took 1500mg a day had a significant reduction in positive symptoms.... if I took 1500mg a day I'd have to eat all those gummies in one day... I can't afford that kind of cost.
I mean tbh I've accepted that this is my new life. I'll hallucinate until the day I die even if I turn 100. I don't expect to recover. I don't think I'll ever hear silence again....
So when is the right time to try weed again and try to sleep without Xanax? Cause I want a semblance of my old life back. Weed made everything more enjoyable. Video games. Sex. Everything. Even ocd. Even anxiety. It made psychosis more tolerable when I was at my worst.
And that day I tried it March 7th. I was so scared of getting schizophrenia but my brain was like THANK YOU. I felt more calm and like everything was aligning again. Like I needed it but the anxiety wasn't worth it. Worrying about schizophrenia wasn't worth it.
When is the right time to say, this is my new life, it would be great to not be on benzodiazepines just to sleep and maybe just maybe I'll recover anyways? Or maybe I'll never recover regardless?
A year? 2 years? We are at 6 month already. I mean when makes sense to say this one substance really helped and I could sleep without benzodiazepines again?
And if it starts to get worst I could just stop and then I'd just have more Xanax stocked up... when is the right time to give it a shot?
I won't get schizophrenia I would have in October if the vaping was going to Tedder totter me over the edge. I don't want it to get worse but I don't relax anymore. I can't relax without my benzodiazepines. I'm like a busy bee. I have to keep myself busy or stare blankly at the tv I'm not the guy I used to be in a lot of good ways but every bad way is I'm always stressed and trying to overcompenstate for it...
When is the right time to say this is truly forever and taking maybe 3 steps back and noticing my mental pictures change back a little and stopping is worth the risk?
When will my life go back to what it was in some sort of way? I don't want it to get worse. However weed was truly medicinal. And I've been without for months and now I'm having panic attacks. Everything it worse.
Idk. I truly don't think i will ever not hallucinate. I think my brain is permanently broken. So is it worth it now to try it?
Improvement is so marginal. And I mean so fucking marginal it's not even worth mentioning. In feb was when my mental pictures went into motion. Thats about as monumental as it gotten. I still hallucinate 24/7.........
I haven't seen much of a change in anything except mental pictures, since let's say February which oddly enough was when the last of the thc left my system and I feel it's flat lined since.

Food To Go
This last weekend I had occasion to find myself in Taos New Mexico. I was in town to hike Wheeler Peak, the highest point in New Mexico. That all went exceedingly well, but that’s a story for another time. It was while trying to patronize a few restaurants that I experienced first hand the struggle many outlets have in finding employees, which, as it turned out, became fodder for this blog.
For example, I tried to eat at two Chinese restaurants, only to walk in and find out they do not offer in-house dining anymore, only takeaway. Not enough employees. And then there was my quick stop at the McDonald’s en route to the trail. I don’t eat at McDonald’s, but I did want to get a cup of coffee and visit the baño one last time. You know. Because McDonald’s is kind of America’s Rest Stop like that. You can almost always count on them.
Except this time. I arrived shortly after 6:30am, their opening time. I saw cars lined up for the drive-thru, but the lights were on inside and I went to the main door. Locked. Barred. None shall pass. A sign bore their message, apologizing for the inconvenience and explaining that they could not find crew members. They thus had shuttered the complete front-of-house, not just for breakfast, but for the entire day!
“Whoa,” I thought. They are now stuck with a very expensive building, of which they are using maybe half. This does not bode well for them. I have already heard of fast food chains planning new downsized buildings with little or no indoor dining, catering only to walk-up and drive-thru for in-app and online orders, as well as Door Dashers.
And then there’s the new Whataburger Digital Kitchen that just opened on the west side of Austin. It’s small. It doesn’t take cash. It doesn’t have a drive-thru. All orders must be placed in-app, online, or at onsite kiosks, all outside, of course, because you aren’t going in. There is zero human contact. Food is then delivered via secure lockers. And forget about the baño.
The new shop will be open 364 days a year, 24 hours a day, and have a crew of 50. That may sound like a lot for a place without all the trappings of a traditional fast food joint, but a typical McDonald’s employs between 90 and 120 and they are not even open 24 hours.
Whataburger has been a Texas staple for more than 70 years, a regional favorite many people will tell you is better than In-N-Out and Five Guys. It’s also a chain that did something very politically incorrect 40 years ago when it featured country crooner Mel Tillis as their spokesperson on TV ads. Tillis is a stutterer, and they made light of it by letting him stutter away. It was self-deprecating I suppose, and I guess Tillis was OK with it all, but that would never fly today.
Thinking back to the Taos McDonald’s, though, this sounds like the perfect model for them. It’s just too bad they already have such a big footprint, something that was once normal, but is now rapidly falling out of favor.
If a customer is digitally-averse, they’ll just be out of luck here. You have to have fully embraced the digital lifestyle in order to feel comfortable here, not to mention eating in your car or elsewhere. There’s probably a Circle K or QT down the street if you need to do other business.
I suspect all eyes will be on this new shop, not just internally at Whataburger, which is now owned by Chicago-based BDT Capital Partners. Whataburger has plans to reintroduce itself to Florida, and this concept could work very well there. And then there are all the other chains looking for ways to simultaneously save money, yet also address the dwindling labor pool. I see this being replicated far and wide.
Better yet, these smaller restaurants take up a lot less expensive real estate. To be frank, they have almost stolen a page from the playbook of Dutch Bros and Scooter’s Coffee chains, with their minimalist drive-up only shops. Commercial real estate, including land and building, is not cheap these days.
Interestingly, we have pretty much come full circle now. I remember the McDonald’s not far from my first childhood home. I would ride my bicycle about a mile to place my order at a window, and then sit on the curb to eat it. There was no indoor seating, no massive playgrounds, no Ronald McDonald and Hamburglar statues. It was strictly a walk-up restaurant, take it or leave it.
And I kind of like this new Whataburger. It’s a nice throwback to my much younger days, something that my students don’t have stored in their memories, but with a modern twist. What is old is suddenly new again.
While I quickly pivoted from the McDonald’s that morning to the Allsup’s down the street, I did grumble a bit about the Chinese restaurants, because I had a taste for a sit-down meal of tasty Asian food. I settled for a very nice New Mexican restaurant and zesty fajitas instead. I suspect, though, that this may new normal for a lot of places in a lot of cities, and like in all things, we’ll just have to adapt.
Change can be painful, just like climbing a mountain. But once you get over the hump, it’s all downhill from there.

Sukuna x reader actor au brainrot go brrrrr
Sorry for taking so long anon but IT DO BE GOING BRRRRRR
Sukuna x Reader Actors AU
Warning(s): Swearing. Mentions of Twitter lmao
Let’s get this out of the way: y’all know the guy plays villains or suave characters and EXCELS at them
Typecasting was invented for this fucker
He just exudes the perfect asshole vibe y’know? (if evil why sexy lmao)
You look at this guy’s face and you’re torn from loving and hating him when he gives you The Smirk™
He tried playing a nicer role ONCE - maybe the main character’s best friend or something - and Twitter lost their shit because “That’s just fucking wrong bro”
People kept expecting him to betray the main character at some point but no he stays the loyal best friend to the very end and people were so fucking Confused that even Sukuna was confused with the whole ordeal
Decides to just play antagonist roles because hey it’s much more fun being the villain right
Like do you need a charismatic mafia boss kinda guy who’d flirt with the hero in the dance floor? Or do you need a complete nutcase who laughs maniacally as he rips into someone? Don’t worry, Sukuna is talented that way and he’s got you covered
In real life though, he’s a pretty chill dude. Pulls pranks on the crew which get caught sometimes on camera. He pretends he didn’t do shit and he pulls such a good poker face that he almost always gets away with it.
Definitely doesn’t take shit from people because he knows he’s awesome you don’t have to tell him that
Resting Bitch Face when he’s not acting, he just looks like he’s always bored or tired
If he’s angry though, the emotions are painted clearly on his face. He doesn’t bother covering up his emotions, in an interview or just talking to him in the street. He’ll tell you what he thinks point blank, no holds barred.
And of course he’s celebrated for that. Twitter loves the fucker to a fault because if it was ever a person then it would be him
He’s not much different from how we already know him, just more toned down and bearable lmao
Sometimes you can’t tell if he’s acting or just being himself anymore because he’s just as charismatic as the people he plays as
He picks what scripts to accept and he apparently has an eye for his projects because each one has been successful
For xReader scenarios
You’d be a pretty new face in the entertainment industry, pretty flexible in the roles you play and still trying to find which roles you fit comfortably into
And then you get paired up with him in one of your bigger projects AND IT JUST FUCKING WORKS
I imagine it’s a TV series and you play the unassuming childhood friend of both the hero and the villain (is it Yuuji and Sukuna? Of course it is) and despite you having no official love interest nor do you completely side with anyone, the internet has decided it’s Sukuna
It’s just the blatant Chemistry™ you two have when you’re both on-screen that keeps the internet going, despite working together for the first time
Off-screen, you guys are actual friends. You were pretty nervous talking to him for the first time because he looked like you were one word away from getting your head bit off but then during a scene where his character offers you a drink, he offers you actual liquor that he snuck in to the studio and you had to take five because you spat it out and he broke character to laugh it off. You’ve been friends since, known for doing stupid pranks during shooting and inside the set.
The internet lost their shit with some of the Behind the Scenes footage because it was almost 50% just you two. Twitter has never seen him smile more during a shooting and bet your asses there are screenshots of EVERYTHING.
You’re now part of Sukuna’s criteria for taking up a project - if you’re not in it then it’s always half the fun for him
Will def ask the director to put you in a movie if he thinks there’s a role for you to perfectly fit into
And since almost all his projects are successful, you quickly rise up in fame
He will deadass cuss people out on Twitter who say the only reason you’re famous is because of him. Becomes a topic for multiple articles because of how vehemently he defends you.
People have started asking if you’re secretly dating, it gets worse when he accepts a role where you’re his love interest
Gets asked on interviews if you’re a couple. Even with his most deadpan look and flat out saying “no”, no one believes him. He’s known for being a good liar and no one takes him for his word, especially when you’re the one being asked and you’re just an embarrassed mess because he’s usually right next to you when the interviewer asks.
Twitter is quick to point out how he usually looks at you during interviews and it just fuels their belief more
He definitely likes you. What can he say? The entertainment industry is a bit of a fuck up with all the drama and meeting you was like a breath of fresh air. Still pretty green and after the initial shock of drinking alcohol on set, you treat him like an old friend
Getting into whatever mischief with him during shooting takes the edge off of stress at times and he’s really grateful for it
Constantly sends you pictures of him during shoots if you have different projects at the moment
Will invite you to red carpet events. Media goes wild and says its proof that you’re going out but truth is he hates sitting for the whole event bored out of his ass so he takes you with him to make it more bearable
Are you dating though? Maybe. Who knows. Definitely not the people. Maybe soon he’ll tweet a couple picture of you two and it won’t be a fan-edit
BONUS: Shooting During Jujutsu Kaisen
Your role would most likely be one of his followers in the past (sort of like UraUme) or maybe a low level curse that Yuuji and the gang come across in one of the arcs
Asks you a lot of times if you got hurt during the fight scenes and he thought the stunt men were a bit too rough with you (of course you do your own stunts because you talented uwu)
Loitering around on top of his mountain of skulls because you laugh whenever he complains to you that it hurts the fuck out of his ass and he immediately goes with “you try sitting on a pile of bones for an uncomfortably long time, (Y/N). They fucking hurt alright”
Y’all actually get along really well with the main trio and Gojo, Yuuji especially because of that time you worked with him, and any other studio has not seen hell yet because all of you together have one brain cell and his name is Sukuna

The Bro’s Catching MC Sneaking in
Lucifer
He’s already yelling before you even get the door all the way open
Knew it wasn’t one of his bro’s because they’re smart enough to not use the front door. He forgets... you’re human, you can’t fly so how else were you supposed to get in?
He was worried. Like REALLY worried. He says it’s because if something happened to you on his watch it’d reflect badly on Diavolo but he genuinely does care about you. You’re his responsibility family after all
You’re shocked that he isn’t watching you like a hawk 24/7 after that
Definitely put spells on your windows and door that will alert him if you leave after hours
Mammon
Went to your room to steal your notes and you weren’t there
Looked around the house and couldn’t find you
He was flying around near the house when he spotted you walking home
“Oi! Human! D’ya have a death wish?! Luci’ll kill ya if he catches you! Let’s go.” He scooped you up and flew you to your room
Tells you to hurry up and change because Luci’s about to start doing his rounds
Ends up grilling you because “how dare ya sneak out and not tell ya first demon where you’re goin! I’m meant to protect ya and I can’t do that if I don’t know where ya are!!”
He blushes furiously and mumbles “I was worried sick about ya”
MC: “Tsundere says what?” Mammon: “oi, what?” Hehehe
Wants to stay but when Luci comes he makes Mams go back to his room
Levi
Wouldn’t catch you
He’s in his room watching the latest episode of “the human the demon prince of hell summoned for the exchange program has snuck out and now they’re back and have to figure out how to get to their room without getting caught by Lucifer himself” it’s pretty good so far
You couldn’t get the front door open because Luci put a spell on it after you snuck out last time so...
Levi’s room is closest to the front door on the second floor
You try texting and calling but he puts his phone on silent so no one can bother him while he’s in Xgames mode 😂
You really should just ask someone else but Levi’s room is closest to your room and you can see the flashing lights from his TV so you know he’s awake
You reach out to Levi using your pact and he FINALLY he comes to the window
“Leviathan, Leviathan, let down your tail” so he can lift you into his room
I HC that his tail is strong af even though he isn’t that physically strong
He almost DROPS you because his tail is strong but he can’t handle the fact that you’re holding onto his tail like a koala, a super cute koala
If he managed to keep his composure after having you hold onto his tail he’s def gonna blow now that you’re in his room
He sees what you were wearing and can tell you were at a party
He’s got a full face blush cuz you look good
Satan
He’s in the library
MC planned ahead and opened the window in the library since it faces the back of the house
It was cold that night and just as he was about to close the window he sees MC crawling on the ground outside
He helps MC in and shakes his head
Wants to know where you were but won’t press you
Warns you that it’s dangerous for a human to be wandering the devildom at night but he’s glad you’re safe
He created a portal that goes from his room to the library and lets you use it so you can get to your room without taking the stairs and possibly getting caught
This bridge portal has a toll though, you have to meow for him or give him a kiss (both if you wanna see him melt)
Asmo
He didn’t so much catch you as y’all ended up at the same gathering and left together
He’s the king of sneaking out so he’s got you covered
His room is at the front of the house but he flies y’all to his bathroom that way if Lucy comes in when he gets back he can pretend like he was just in the bathroom
You’re not getting outta this bathroom scot free though. In exchange for helping you get in the house you have to let him test out hairstyles on you
Also wants a kiss if that’s cool
He admits that he was bored at that party until he saw you were there
“Next time you sneak out and need help summon me and I’ll take care of you 😉” he winks but he genuinely means it
Offers to let you stay with him
Luci comes to check on Asmo and sees you’re there too
“Luciiii! We’re having a sleepover, care to join us?” We all know what the answer is. He tells you to keep Asmo in line
Bubzie
He’s where? That’s right, in the kitchen.
You finally managed to gain Luci’s trust back and he took the spell off the front door
Beel hears your keys in the door and looks up with a slice of pizza in his mouth
You didn’t expect anyone to be awake so you jump when you see him
He doesn’t say much but does offer you a slice(that’s a big deal and you almost die on the spot)
You accept and you guys talk for a bit while he stuffs his face, when I say talk I mean you talked about where you were and what you were doing and he nods as he eats
He’s not mad at you but he does scold you a bit.
“It’s dangerous and I don’t want you to get hurt. Even if it’s my snack time, if you need me, I’ll come get you and bring you home”
You take the pizza out of his mouth and give him a kiss and thank him before sneaking off to get to your room before you get caught
He’ll also give you a keychain weapon that you can use to protect yourself
Belphie
You really think he’s awake ?
There’s a 50/50 chance actually.
He’s fairly nocturnal but honestly his sleep schedule is ever changing so you genuinely have no fucking clue
You know he goes to the observatory when he can’t sleep but you can’t tell if anyone’s in there from the outside of the house
You call, no answer. You text, no answer. Sooooooooooo
You use your pact to contact him but he seems to be the only one that will ignore you if he’s asleep. He knows you’re calling out to him, he can tell it’s not an emergency so he goes back to sleep
You just have to go in through the front door and hope Luci is still in his office working or asleep.
#obey me#obey me mammon#obey me beel#obey me satan#obey me belphie#obey me leviathan#obey me asmo#obey me lucifer#Belphie is useless sometimes#will i ever make a post that doesnt have some sort of spelling error???

.Sam.Giddings.: Team Two - you guys don't have to be up until around 9:00am since your taxi is at 9:20 and then your plane is at 11:30!
HanButterfly: Josh would you like me to save you some cake before we eat it all? :)
EmilyD_: We'll need a little longer than 20 minutes to all get ready but sure x
TheOriginalMatt: Just about! Myself and Chris have mostly been playing on his PS4 so I've been distracting myself with that! XD
josh_wash: yes please!
josh_wash: i feel for ya bro, a whole evening with chris' puns can prove fatal
josh_wash: you die of cringe
Mike_Munroe: Poor ol' Chris XD
.Sam.Giddings.: Once we arrive and get our bags, we need to catch the 2:30pm train and then the 4:20 bus! After that we have to take the 5:40 bus (I sent you guys screenshots of the route yesterday) and get off at Blackwood Pines ready for our hike up the mountain (with a little help from the cable car, of course)!
xXGamerChrisXx: I'm being BULLIED guys :(
ashleeeeey: Aw, poor Chris! :P
josh_wash: jk XD
TheOriginalMatt: I like how Sam's still here typing all we need to know whilst we're talking about cake and puns XD
.Sam.Giddings.: Team Two, you guys need to catch either the 5:30pm or the 6:00pm train depending on when your stuff arrives. After that you'll need to get the 7:50 bus and then the 8:40 bus to Blackwood Pines (you have to specify you want it to stop there or the driver won't stop) before you head up. Remember to lock the cable car station once you get in, Mike!
josh_wash: oh gosh tHE CAKE
Mike_Munroe: Gotcha' Sam!
HanButterfly: No worries, Josh! I managed to save most of it from Beth!
BethWash: rip my chance at a third slice of cake

josh_wash: bro chill you know i was just joking
ashleeeeey: I'm really sorry!! Please don't get upset with each other!
xXGamerChrisXx: No ash it's alright! i promise i'm not actually mad! :-)
josh_wash: he acts mad over text to get his point across but he literally just sits there with a blank expression irl XD
TheOriginalMatt: Is Sam still there, Ash? Haven't heard from her in a while!
TheOriginalMatt: Gotta check up on my plane buddy for tomorrow!!
_Jess.Riley_: Did you guys get window seats or middle isle seats? I got a middle isle and the others got a window!
BethWash: she hasn't drowned in her notes has she lol
TheOriginalMatt: We got two sets of window seats! Though I don't know which of us is actually going to be at the window and which one will be window isle!
ashleeeeey: She's just brushing her teeth! Her mom came in and brought us a load of vegan snacks for the trip tomorrow and now I'm even more excited!!
ashleeeeey: Speaking of which, I'm probably going to head to sleep in a minute! Though I'm not sure how much I'll actually get since I'm so excited!!! :)
xXGamerChrisXx: Sleep well, ash. see you in the morning :-)
ashleeeeey: Night, Chris :)
ashleeeeey has left the chat.
_Jess.Riley_: Well that was cute!
xXGamerChrisXx: People say goodnight to eachother! that's a normal human interaction!

Saw this video game tag thing pop up on my dash a few days ago. Wanted to do it.
1. First game you played obsessively?
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I believe I was 5yo.
Still waiting on that FF7 Remake treatment.
2. A game that has influenced you creatively? Writing, drawing, etc.
Well if I play a game and like it, then I'll create sims of it. Does that count?
3. Who did you play with as a kid?
My brother from the day I was born.
4. Who do you play with now?
My brother FROM THE DAY I WAS BORN.
5. Ever use cheat codes?
I wasn't lying when I made this post. {link}
6. Ever buy strategy guides?
Yes! Mainly to look at the artwork though. (Don't need no guide!)
7. Any games you have multiple copies of?
Lots of games, most being Left 4 Dead with 6 copies (3 Xbox 360, 1 PC case, 2 PC digitally.) What can I say, its a GOOD GAME!
8. Rarest/Most expensive game in your collection?
Gold cartridge Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (maybe that's rare?)
9. Most regrettable purchase?
I don't regret my purchases, but I have received games I have never played like Cubix (PS2) no clue where that game came from, but I have it somehow. Madagascar (Xbox 360) came with my Xbox 360, never opened it from its case. And Monsters Inc. Scream Arena (Gamecube) or something... it was a gift.
10. Ever go to a midnight game release or stand in line for hours?
No, because then I'd have to interact with people.
11. Have you ever made new friends from playing video games?
I'm only friends with people BECAUSE of video games, so yes.
12. Ever get picked on for liking games?
No, that'd be ridiculous.
13. A game you’ve never played that everyone else has?
Probably a lot, I'd say Call of Duty, but I technically played CoD 1, 2, and 4. The campaign mode was alright, but I don't really care for CoD games at ALL.
14. Favorite game music?
Koji Kondo and Grant Kirkhope are two BIG ones.
15. If it was a requirement to get a game related tattoo, what would you pick?
Triforce is the most basic option, but I'd rather not get a tattoo.
16. Favorite game to play with your friends IRL?
Super Smash Bros. Brawl with hacks, but that was over a decade ago.
17. Ever lose a friend over a game?
No, that'd be ridiculous.
18. Would you date someone that hates gaming?
No, that'd be RIDICULOUS.
19. Favorite handheld console?
PSP. 3DS is great, but PSP Monster Hunter has ALL of my portable gaming memories. Like playing in school after End of Grade tests with my friend.
20. Game that you know like the back of your hand?
Sims 4 I like to think I know everything about Left 4 Dead.
Quite a bit about Monster Hunter, more so of a series though than a specific game.
21. Game that you didn’t like or understand as a kid but love now?
I'd say Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. I loved it as a kid, but had a lot of complex pen & paper RPG mechanics that I never understood. I understand a lot more of it now, but its still complex as all heck. I just know you hit things, they die.
22. Do you wear game related clothing/accessories?
That's the only thing I wear.
23. The game that you’ve logged the most hours into?
Not sure so I'll list a few. Sims 4, Smash Bros. Brawl, Monster Hunter (its a series though), or Left 4 Dead
24. First Pokemon game?
Leaf Green
25. Were you ever an arcade game player?
No, don't like paying to play.
26. Ever form any gaming rivalries?
No.
27. Game that makes you rage?
I don't get mad at games, but I had a custom modded Hard Eight mutation in Left 4 Dead that is absolute bullsh*t!
28. Ever play in a tournament?
No, because then I'd have to interact with people.
29. What is your gaming set up?
A giant wall of video game consoles spanning from NES to Switch, 4 TVs, but I sit at a desk with a PC.
30. How many consoles do you own?
"I own every console that's ever existed."
- I Don't Play Games When I Play Games (My STRENTH)
original song by Smooth McGroove
BUT no seriously I own 32 consoles including handhelds.
31. Does the 3DS and/or Virtual Boy hurt your eyes or give you headaches?
Yes. 3DS gave me headaches though I only really played with the 3D feature in Ocarina of Time 3D. I think my eyes broke because I couldn't get my 3D to work very well after.
32. Did you ever play a game based on your favorite show/cartoon/movie/comic?
Sure I play games based on a lot of things. Literally any anime game. If I had to pick Dragon Ball Xenoverse is kinda like a dream Dragon Ball game. Oh, Attack on Titan 2 is pretty neat too!
33. Did you ever have any bootleg games or plug-n-play games?
Some SEGA plug-n-play thing once. Played it like once and now its lost to time (or my closet.)
34. Do either of your parents play video games?
Yes. Mom and Dad played NES Super Mario Bros. My Dad went HARD at that game until he saved the Princess. Then he quit forever.
35. Ever work in a game store? Or do you have a favorite game shop?
"Hi. Welcome to Gamestop!"I never want to hear that again, but it was my main store until I went full digital/ online orders.
36. Have you ever shed actual blood, sweat or tears over a game?
No, I don't tend to get upset or emotional, but Bill dying in Left 4 Dead made me pretty pissed.
37. Have you played E.T. for the Atari 2600?
Do you think that’s the worst game ever, or do you have another nomination? Never played it. I don't really play "bad" games,
but maybe Sims 4.
38. A game you’re ashamed to admit that you like?
The Sims 4
39. A sequel that you would die for them to make?
Dragon's Dogma 2 WHICH I think is actually in development, so I'd have to say Fallout New Vegas 2. C'mon Bethesda you cowards, hand the keys back over to Obsidian so they can make another good Fallout game!
40. What to you think of virtual reality headsets or motion controls?
Two part question, two answers. VR Headset to immerse in world, yes. Motion Controls, no.
41. A genre that you just can’t get into?
MOBAs and MMOs. I don't like paying to keep playing.
42. Maybe it wasn’t your first game, but what was the game that started you on your path to nerdiness?
Nintendo 64 opened me up to what video games could be as a kid. Sad to say my parents' NES didn't really do that for me. And years later Fallout 3 was a big game changer for me too.
43. Ever play games when you really should have been concentrating on something else?
Every day of my LIFE.
44. Arcade machine that has consumed the most of your quarters? None. I'd rather emulate.
45. How are you at Mario Kart?
Pretty dang good. 3-STARS MARIO KART WII, BABY!
46. Do you like relaxing games like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon?
Yes, both of those. I preferred when Animal Crossing had more character to it. New Horizons looks so pretty, but feels so bland compared to classic AC.
47. Do you like competitive games?
No. Not really. Usually amongst friends or if I can get competitive against AI Bots. I love my machine bot friends cause they don't cry like 10 year olds when they lose.
48. How long does it take your to customize your player character?
Too long. I've seriously restarted games because I wasn't happy with my character's appearance.
49. In games where you can pick your class, do you always tend to go for the same type of character?
Yes, I am always the magic man, my brother is always brute warrior, and my friend is the ranger.
50. If you were a game designer, what masterpiece would you create?
I don't really know. Honestly, I'd rather mod already good games to make them better than create something completely new.
51. Have you ever played a game for so long that you forgot to eat or sleep?
No, that'd be ridiculous. But I've had a friend fall asleep playing games at my house 3 different times and currently dozes off during our Minecraft sessions. So, maybe that's not a completely ridiculous thing after all.
52. A game that you begged your parents for as a kid?
Kirby 64 apparently. My brother tells me we had to count out pennies to buy it. I must've been too young with no recollection, but I believe it.
53. What’s your opinion on DLC these days?
It's good if its not in the game's files from the beginning and is actually developed AFTER launch... and pre-order bonuses should be standard DLC a month or two later. Some games have content lost to time because of that pre-order bullsh*t.
54. Do you give in to Steam sales?
Of course. If you want a game and its on sale then why not? I typically wait just for Steam sales to get games.
55. Did you ever make someone you hated in the Sims and did mean stuff to them?
No? I typically make people and characters I like in Sims. I've made villains like Dio, but he's an anime villain and I don't really HATE him despite the horrible things he's done.
56. Did you ever play Roller Coaster Tycoon and kill off your guests?
No. Never played that game.
57. Did you ever play a game to 100% or get all of the achievements?
I try to for all the games I really like.
58. If you can only play 3 games for the rest of your life, which ones do you pick?
The Sims 4, Skyrim, & Fallout: New Vegas. Mods make them live forever. Left 4 Dead and Monster Hunter are good choices too.
59. Do you play any cell phone games?
Those aren't games.
60. Do you know the Konami Code?
No? But I'll take a guess. Is it make an IP and forget it exists?
61. Do you trade in your games or keep them forever?
Keep forever... even the bad ones.
62. Ever buy a console specifically to play one game?
PS4 Pro for Monster Hunter World. It was basically for early access since the PC version was being developed and releasing after PS4, but I don't like waiting.
63. Ever go to a gaming convention or tournament?
Sort of. Been to anime cons and walked into the gaming tournament rooms only to walk out less than 10 minutes later.
64. Ever make a TV or monitor purchase based on what would be best for gaming?
No, but I'm going to be doing that soon, hopefully.
65. Ever have a Game Genie, Game Shark or Action Replay? Did it ever mess up your game’s save file?
GameShark for N64, PS2, Gameboy, and Action Replay for Gamecube, DS, 3DS. And no not really, I would cheat responsibly... but there was this one time at school my friend and I borrowed another friend's Gameboy game, loaded it up with my Gameshark, tried playing, it crashed, loaded it back up, save file corrupted... we just stared at each other jaws dropped, "Here's your game back, dude. Make sure you don't play it til you get back home!"
66. Did you ever have have an old Nokia with Snake on it?
No, but I remember seeing them on billboards in the game DRIV3R on PS2.
67. Do you have a happy gaming-related childhood memory you want to share?
Every game I play is filled with happy memories (mostly.)
68. Ever save up a ton of tickets in an arcade to get something cool?
These tiger plushes. My brother got white and I got orange. They were the coolest. Got a butt load of tickets from some jackpot spinning light game thing as I was good at the timing with repeated jackpot hits.
69. In your opinion, best game ever made?
I've played quite a few masterpiece games, but to pick one, I'd say Fallout: New Vegas
70. Very first game you ever beat?
Super Mario 64. I was a mere child on a Sunday morning and ate celebratory pancakes made by my Dad.
Wow, that was long... I get the feeling this was supposed to be a "send me ask with numbers" thing, but answering all at once is more fun.

Lee Jeno as your idol bf
Genre: fluff
Pairing: jeno x idol!reader
Prompt: Jeno and you being the cutest duo
Request: Can i request maybe Jeno as your idol boyfriend?
Word count: 1348
Haechan / Yuta / Mark / Jaemin / Chenle / Renjun / Jisung / Jaehyun
you were a new sm rookie
so you saw each other a lot
but you never actually interacted
he had his busy schedule
and you spent most of your time practicing
but you whenever you saw him
your heart went boom
we got that boom boom boom boom boom
but his does too
he was the mc when you debuted
he stood next to you when he introduced your group
yeeun was on the other side
and he had to give you some flowers
yeeun gave your band mate some too
but that didn’t stop him from blushing
the dreamies teased him so much
he replays the video on youtube
like 25 times
fast forward to promotions
you go on a variety show
it’s an sm special
so a few members from nct, your group, red velvet, so on
and the mc asks you for your ideal types
jeno gets shy instantly
“are you shy because she’s here?” - renjun
*cue to Renjun’s funeral*
he just smiles
while mentally punching Renjun
but it’s okay
because he physically punches Haechan when he said
“bro, you’ve had this crush since she was a rookie, man up.”
at least you don’t know it’s you, right?
haha wrong
Haechan is there what do you expect
he accidentally says you name when he explains Jeno’s crush
RIP Renhyuck when they get back to the dorms
mainly hyuck tho
your members tease you for it too
because they know you have the biggest crush on him
“Jeno, it’s okay, y/n has a crush on you t-”
you end up putting your hand over their mouth a little too late
you know how irene is like almost everyone under sm’s mom?
she ends up setting you up
“ah, young love.”
“irene-noona, you’re acting like you’re 50″ -jeno
“shush, child.” -irene
you stay after practice to work on your dance
just so happens that jeno also planned to practice then
so you end up showing off to each other
and flirting
very shy flirting
because he gets flustered when either of you say anything
or do anything
he gets so red when you bring up the variety show
you end up just sitting on the floor
and talking the whole night
yes, the whole night
mark walks in to start practice
“I didn’t know anyone was going to be here this early.”
“early?”
“it’s 7am?”
cue looking at each other and getting flustered
thankfully mark came for 127 practice
yours don’t start until 3
and Jeno’s doesn’t start till 6
so you end up getting some coffee
at this point, you’ve spent 12 hours together
but neither of you are ready to say goodbye
sure, you ran out of things to say
but was that going to stop either of you?
hahahahaha no
you end up going back to your dorms for lunch time
because both of your members were worried
and you hadn’t showered last night
and you had practice
so by this point, you needed one
but before going your separate ways
he gets your number
obviously
and you give it to him
obviously
you haven’t even been seeing each other for 3 weeks
but the fans know
the fans know everything
with like almost no proof
you go out and invite some friends to avoid a dating scandal?
they see right through it
even with hats, sunglasses and masks?
they recognize based on your height
so sm’s like “yes, they are dating, now shut the fuck up”
fans: we been knew tho
ok so remember when
chenle: jaemin mom, jeno dad
well
congrats, you’ve just adopted a whole group of chaotic crackhead
not that you mind
you love them
jisung even starts calling you his parent
casually
jaemin is like highkey annoyed
first you steal his boyfriend, now his son?
but it’s okay
because you also steal his heart
believe it or not, he’s your number 1# shipper
you were shocked but not surprised
bc like you two do be cute
going on vlive together like all the time
mainly voice only
bc “babe, i have no makeup on.”
“jeno, literally stfu, you look perfect”
“aww, babe.”
renjun throwing up in the bg
i’m not saying he would want to match
but he would lowkey want to match
you’d end up asking jaemin to take like 879 pictures
jaemin lowkey loves it
but he still complains
you have to buy him coffee for his hard work
your ig account being filled with cute pics like
“ootd w/ babe”
you mention jsmr to him once
and he starts doing them again
even features you on one of them
he just stares at you the whole time
did you actually do a good job with the asmr?
do you think he cares?
you’re cute,
he’s whipped,
you could scream into the mic and he’d be like
“omg, that was amazing”
whipped jeno whipped jeno whipped jeno whipped jeno whipped jeno
oh and
did i mention whipped jeno?
your comeback teaser came out like 3 seconds ago?
he’s already watched it 5 times
screenshots every frame with you in it
fanboys
then proceeds to fanboy to you
“bABE YOU LOOK TOO GOOD, YOU’RE PAYING FOR MY MEDICAL BILL BC I JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK”
daily snaps from him when you both have schedules
sometimes even from hyuck teasing him
sends a photo of jeno on his phone
with a picture of you in a thought bubble over his head
“y/n, we love you, but we need to be on stage in 2 minutes and he’s still on his phone talking to you. stop.”
so he might have bought your album like 34 times
he didn’t get your photocard
and he was going to get your photocard
sure, he could have just bought the photocard somewhere on ebay
but no, he wanted to get it in the album
he finally does and sends you a snap
posing with the card
40 albums in the bg
“finally got yours, babe :) “
he’s too precious
you end up rapping his verse once on tv
he has the video saved on his phone
watches it before bed
and when he wakes up
“renjun, look at this one fancam, i can’t”
“damn”
“huang rENJUN, THAT IS MINE”
jealous jeno?
jealous jeno
he respects you and knows you’re only his
but he still gets a tiny bit jealous when you interact with other idols
hears a new rookie group member say you’re his idol type
“nOPE, BUDDY, THAT’S MY LINE”
reassuring him that he’s your one and only
you come to his concert
you sit with his 127 and wayv members
you’re expecting a cute family friendly concert
until he starts making dream show
a strip show
doyoung’s just like
“so, my son is grounded now”
johnny just nudges you and smirks
you end up blushing
like a lot
he has a secret fan account
and so do you but shhh he doesnt know
ends up liking a tweet on his main account
by accident
and now everyone knows
you tease him
the dreamies tease him
doyoung scolds him
and then teases him
back to him being an mc
you just had a comeback
and he secretly holds your hand behind your backs
but it’s not secretly
because everyone sees
and it’s okay
bc it’s cute af
you end up doing an sm station together
you wrote the song together
about each other
so you spend a lot of time in the studio
messing around
you try and write some lyrics
but get distracted by him playing guitar
you just stare at him
and he gets so shy when he notices
the mv is filled with cute videos of you two
there’s this one scene where he does something very cheesy
and renhyuck end up recreating it
to tease you two
but you don’t care
you’re too whipped for each other
to sum it up: your most frequent view is his eye smile and you’re not even mad, because you’re just as whipped for him as he is for you
hi, i love jeno 🥺

The Weekend Warrior 10/1/21: VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE, THE ADDAMS FAMILY II, THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK, TITANE, MAYDAY, THE JESUS MUSIC
Yeah, so I haven’t had the time over the past couple weeks to write a column, and I kind of hate that fact, especially since I’m coming up on a pretty major milestone for me writing a weekly box office column and reviewing movies. In fact, that milestone comes next week! And once again, I’m struggling to get through the movies I was hoping to watch and write about this week, because I’ve been out of town and once again, very busy over the weekend. Let’s see how far I get...
Before we get to this week’s wide releases, I’m excited to say that my local arthouse movie theater, The Metrograph, is finally reopening for in-person screenings, and they’re kicking things off with a 4k restoration of Andrez Zulawski’s 1981 thriller, Possession, starring Sam Neill and Isabell Adjani, who won a Best Actress prize at Cannes for her performance in the film. I actually saw this at the Metrograph a few years back, and Metrograph Pictures, the distribution arm of the company is now distributing the 4k restoration. There’s a lot of exciting things ahead at Metrograph, including an upcoming four-film Clint Eastwood retrospective, including White Hunter, Black Heart (1990) and A Perfect World (1991) this Friday. Also, Lingua Franca director Isabel Sandoval will be showing her fantastic film from 2020 (a rare chance to see it in a theater and I’ll be there!) as well as program a number of other favorites of hers. Sunday will have screenings of Ingmar Berman’s Scenes from a Marriage (1973) in its full four plus hour glory, Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park (1993) and John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness (1994).. In other words, the Metrograph is back!
Moving over to the weekend’s three wide releases, the first one up being Sony’s VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE (Sony Pictures) with Tom Hardy returning as Eddie Brock aka Venom, joined by Woody Harrelson as the psychotic symbiote, Carnage. Taking over the directing reins is Andy Serkis, who has only directed two other movies, Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle and Breathe, but as an actor, he’s been heavily involved with the CG VFX (and performance capture) needed to bring the characters in this Marvel anti-hero movie to life.
Venom has been one of Spider-Man’s most popular villains and sometimes allies for quite a few decades now, starting out life as a cool black costume Spider-Man found on a strange planet during the first “Secret Wars,” which turned out to be an alien symbiote that had malicious intentions. Spider-Man got the costume off of him but it then linked up with Eddie Brock, a sad-sack journalist whose emotions drove the alien symbiote to become the Venom we known and (mostly) love, thanks to one Todd McFarlane. Venom continued to play a large part in the Spider-Man books before getting his own comics, and not before a super-villain was created for him in Cletus Kasady, a vicious serial killer whose infection by the symbiote turns him into Carnage. And that’s who Harrelson is playing.
Being a sequel, we do have some basis to go on, although the original Venom movie, released in early October 2018, also arrived at a time when it was only the second time the character of Venom was brought to the big screen -- the first time being Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, in which the character was received without much love as Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And yet, Venom did great, opening with $80.2 million and grossing $213 million domestically, which is more than enough to greenlight a sequel. (It made over double that amount overseas, too.) For comparison, the Wolverine prequel opened with $85 million but at the beginning of summer, so it quickly tailed away with other movies coming out after it. Venom: Let There Be Carnage has to worry about the new James Bond opening a week later, so it very likely could be a one-and-done, opening decently but quickly dropping down as other big movies are released in October (basically one a week).
I’ve already seen the movie, and by the time you read this, reviews will already be up --including my own at Below the Line. Social media reactions seem to not be so bad though, so maybe it’ll get better reviews than its predecessor, which was trashed by critics, receiving only a 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But if you look at the fan ratings, they’re higher with 81%, although it’s hard not to be
I’m thinking that bearing COVID in mind and the law of depreciation since the previous movie, Venom: Let There Be Carnage will probably be good for around $50 million this weekend, maybe a little more, but however it’s received, I expect it to drop significantly next week, though a total domestic gross of $135 to 140 million seems reasonable.
Another strong sequel to kick off October is the animated THE ADDAMS FAMILY II (MGM), which is following up the 2019 hit for MGM/UA Releasing with most of the voice cast returning, including Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Finn Wolfhard, as well as Nick Kroll, Snoop Dogg, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, and Bette Midler voicing the popular characters from the New Yorker cartoons, a popular ‘60s TV series, and two Barry Sonnenfeld movies from the ‘90s.
The 2019 animated film was a pretty solid hit for the newly-launched UA Releasing, grossing $100 million domestic after a $30.3 million opening, making it one of MGM’s biggest hits since it was restructured under UA and became its own distributor again. Who knows what’s going to happen with Amazon’s plans on buying MGM and whether the latter will remain a distribution wing, but MGM still has a number of movies out this year that likely will be awards contenders. But that doesn’t mean much for The Addams Family II, which will try to get some of those people who paid to see the original movie in theaters back to see the sequel… and if they’re not going to theaters, MGM is once again offering the movie day-and-date on VOD much like they did with last year’s Bill and Ted Face the Music, which opened much earlier in the pandemic (late august, 2020), so it far fewer options to see it in theaters compared to this animated sequel.
It’s highly doubtful that The Addams Family II was going to open anywhere near to $30 million even if there wasn’t a pandemic, and it wasn’t on VOD just because MGM just doesn’t seem to be marketing the movie as well as its predecessor. You can blame COVID if you want, but it’s also the fact they’re distributing the company’s first James Bond movie in six years, No Time To Die, on their own vs. through another distributor, ala the last few Daniel Craig Bonds. But we’ll talk more about that next week, since that’s going to be an important movie to help cover MGM’s expenses for the rest of 2021. (I haven’t had a chance to see this yet, but it’s embargoed until Friday, so wouldn’t be able to get a review into the column regardless.)
We’ve seen quite a few family hits over the past few months even when the movies were already on streaming/VOD, but parents are probably being a bit more careful with kids back in school, many younger kids still not vaccinated, and the Delta variant still not quite under control. Because of those factors, I think The Addams Family II is more likely to do somewhere between $15 and 18 million its opening weekend, maybe more on the lower side.
Third up is THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK (New Line/WB), David Chase’s prequel to his hit HBO series, The Sopranos, which went off the air in 2004 but still finds fans on the new HBO Max streamer. Ironically, this prequel will air on the streamer at the same time as it's getting a theatrical release, which probably won't be a very tough choice for fans.
Chase has reunited with director Alan Taylor, who won a Primetime Emmy for his work on the show in 2007 before moving onto other popular shows like HBO's Game of Thrones. Taylor has had a bit of a rough career in film, though, having directed Marvel Studios’ sequel, Thor: The Dark World, a movie that wasn't received very well although there were rumors that Taylor butted heads with the producers and maybe didn't even finish the movie. He went on to direct Terminator Genesys, which honestly, I can't remember if it was the worst Terminator movie, but it was pretty bad.
What's interesting is that because this is a prequel set in the '70s and '80s, none of the actors from the show appear on it, but it does star Alessandro Nivola, a great actor in one of his meatiest roles for a studio movie. It also introduces Michael Gandolfini, son of the late James Gandolfini (who played Tony Soprano, if you didn't know), playing the teenage Tony, plus it has great roles for the likes of Jon Bernthal (as Tony's father), Vera Farmiga (playing Tony's mother), Corey Stoll (playing the younger "Junior” Soprano), and Lesile Odom Jr, as the Sopranos key adversary, even though he ends up coming across like the good guy of the movie. It also stars Billy Magnussen, who oddly, also has a key role in next week's No Time to Die.
I'm sure there's quite a bit of interest in seeing where Tony came from and to learn more about his family, many who were dead long before the events of the HBO show, but will that be enough to get them into theaters when they already have HBO? I already reviewed the movie for Below the Line, and reviews are generally positive, which might get people more interested in this prequel.
As with most of Warner Bros’ movies this year, Many Saints will also debut on HBO Max and unlike some of the studio’s other 2021 offerings, it will actually make more sense to watch this one on the streamer since that’s how most people watched The Sopranos. That seems like a killer for Many Saints, and it’s likely to keep it opening under $10 million, where it might have done better on a different weekend (like sometime over the last two weeks).
This is what I have this weekend’s top 10 looking like:
1. Venom: Let There Be Carnage (Sony) - $50.4 million N/A
2. The Addams Family II (MGM/UA Releasing) - $16.5 million N/A
3. The Many Saints of Newark (New Line/WB) - $9 million N/A
4. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (Marvel/Disney) - $7.5 million -44%
5. Dear Evan Hansen (Universal) - $4.1 million -45%
6. Free Guy (20th Century/Disney) - $3.3 million -30%
7. Jungle Cruise (Disney) - $1.1 million -35%
8. Candyman (Universal) - $1.3 million -48%
9. Cry Macho (Warner Bros.) - $1 million -52%
10. Malignant (Warner Bros.) - .7 million -53%
Opening in select cities is French filmmaker Julia (Raw) Ducournau’s TITANE (Neon), the genre thriller that won this year’s coveted Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It stars Agathe Rouselle as a young woman who has an interesting relationship with automobiles, but she also has psychotic tendencies that leaves a trail of bodies behind her. On the run, she decides to pretend she’s the missing son of a fireman (Vincent Lindon), who has been missing for 10 years, and things just get weirder from there.
I honestly wasen’t sure what to expect from this although I do remember walking out of Ducournau’s cannibal movie, Raw, just because it was so gross, even though so many of my colleagues and friends swear by the movie, and this one, for that matter. Sure, there’s a certain “prove it” factor to me watching a movie that wins the Palme D’Or, because it’s very rare that I like the movies that do win that benchmark cinema award.
After a flashback to Agathe’s character Alexia when she was an obstinate young girl kicking the back seat of her father as he’s driving. They crash and she’s forced to get surgery that puts an odd looking piece of metal in her head. Decades later, she seems to be a pseudo-stripper at weird punk rock car show -- I guess they do those things different in France -- and hooking up with a fellow “model” afterwards. Agathe is actually a very popular model/dancer but when one fan gets too grabby, she pulls a knitting needle out of her hair and stabs it through his ear, killing him. Oh, yeah, she then has sex with a car and seemingly gets pregnant, but that only happens later. First, she goes on a bit of a killing spree and then goes on a run and decides that by strapping up her breasts and breaking her nose, she can pass off this fire captain’s son… and it works!
So the second half deals with acting great Vincent Lindon’s absolutely bonkers steroid-addicted man who seems to be sexually attracted to his own son, and most of his fellow firefighters knows that he’s gay but in the closet, but I’m honestly not sure what that matters. He’s a pretty disgusting character whose 70-year-old ass we see way too much of, and even those who might find Rouselle to be quite fetching, there’s a certain point where her nudity is not alluring but quite horrifying.
Oh, and at this time, Alexia (or Adrien, as she’s now going) has also gotten significantly pregnant, but it’s not a normal pregnancy because what should be milk from her breasts seems to some sort of motor oil. That’s because she FUCKED A CAR earlier in the movie!!! What do you expect when you fuck a car and don’t use protection, girlie? The fact Alexia/Adrien is trying to hide the fact she’s a pregnant woman from a station full of men isn’t even particularly disturbing. The part that really got me was when she broke her own nose to pass off as this guy’s son -- I actually had to look away for that part.
Listen I’m no prude, and I think I can handle most things in terms of horror and gore, but Titane just annoyed me, because it felt like Ms Ducournau was doing a lot of what we see more for shock value than to actually drive the story forward. There just doesn’t seem to be much point to any of it, and once the movie gets to the firehouse, and we see her interaction (as a young man) with her “father” and his colleagues, it just gets more grueling.
It’s as if Ducournau had watched a lot of movies by the likes of Cronenberg or David Lynch, or more likely Nicolas Refn or Lars von Trier, and thought, “I could be just as strange and horrific as those men… let’s see what people think of this.” And way too many people fell for it, including the Cannes jury. While I normally would approve of any good body horror movie, especially one with cinematography, score and musical selections as good as this one, I doubt I’d ever want to watch this movie again. And therefore, I don’t think I can recommend this movie to anyone either, at least no one I want to remain my friend.
As far as the movie’s box office, NEON is opening the movie in 562 theaters to build on buzz from various film festivals, including the New York Film Festival earlier this week. I think it should be good for half a million this weekend, although maybe it'll surprise me like NEON's release of Parasite a few years back. I just don't see this getting into the top 10 but maybe just outside it.
And then we have a few more movies that I got screeners for but just couldn’t find the time to watch, but might do so once I finish this verdammt column.
The faith-based doc THE JESUS MUSIC (Lionsgate) by the Erwin Brothers (I Can Only Imagine, I Still Believe) takes a look at the rise of Christian Contemporary Music through artists like Amy Grant and Stryper and everything in between, featuring lots of interviews of the artists’ trials and triumphs. Even though there isn’t much CCM I ever listen to, I’m still kind of curious about this one, since I generally like music docs and this is guaranteed not to be the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll of most of them. I have no idea how wide Lionsgate intends to release this but it certainly can be fairly wide, because the Erwins have delivered at least one giant hit for Lionsgate, and I Still Believe may have been another one if not for the pandemic. It actually opened on March 13, just days before movie theaters shut down across the country, so it's little surprise it only made $7 million domestic. That said, the acts in this one have a lot of fans, and if Lionsgate does release The Jesus Music into 1,000 theaters or so (which is very doable), then I would expect it would make between $1 and 2 million, which would be enough to break into the Top 10.
I haven't seen any of the movies based on Anna Todd's YA romance novels but the third of them, AFTER WE FELL, will play in about 1,311 theaters on Thursday i.e. tonight through Fathom Events, and may or may not continue through the weekend. These movies just kind of show up, and again, having not seen any of them, I'm not sure what kind of audience they have, but this one stars Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes, as well as Stephen Moyer, Mira Sorvino and Arielle Kebbel with Castille Landon directing.
Grace Van Patten (Under the Silver Lake) stars in Karen Cinorre’s action-fantasy film MAYDAY (Magnolia), playing Ana, a young woman who is transported to a “dreamlike and dangerous” coastline where she joins a female army in a never-ending war where women lure men to their deaths. It also stars Mia Goth, Havana Rose Liu, Soko, Théodore Pellerin and Juliette Lewis. It will be in theaters and On Demand this Friday.
The great Tim Blake Nelson stars in Potsy Ponciroli’s action-Western OLD HENRY (Shout! Studios/Hideout) about a widowed farmer and son who take in an injured man with a satchel full of cash only to have to fend off a posse who come after the man, claiming to be the law. Not sure who to trust, the farmer has to use his gun skills to defend his home and the stranger.
The romantic-comedy FALLING FOR FIGARO (IFC Films) is the new movie from Australian filmmaker Ben Lewin (The Sessions), who I’ve interviewed a few times, and he’s a really nice chap. This one stars Danielle Macdonald, Hugh Skinner, and Joanna Lumley, and it will be in theaters and On Demand this Friday. This rom-com is set in the world of opera singing competitions with Macdonald playing Millie, a brilliant young fund manager who decides to chase her dream of being an opera singer in the Scottish Highlands. She begins vocal training lessons with a former opera diva, played by Lumley, where she meets Max, a young man also training for that competition. Could love blossom? This actually sounds like my kind of movie, so I’ll definitely try to watch soon.
The second season of “Welcome to Blumhouse” the horror movie anthology kicks off on Amazon Prime Video on Friday with the first two movies, Maritte Lee Go’s Black as Night (which I’ve seen) and Gigi Saul Guerrero’s Bingo Night (which I haven’t), and actually I’ll have an interview with Ms. Go over at Below the Line possibly later this week. The former stars Ashja Cooper as a teen girl living in Louisiana who has a bad experience with homeless vampires, along with her best friend (Fabrizio Guido).
Also, Antoine Fuqua and Jake Gyllenhaal’s remake of the Danish film THE GUILTY will begin streaming on Netflix starting Friday after premiering at TIFF a few weeks back. I never got around to reviewing it, but it’s pretty good, maybe a little better than the original movie but essentially the same. I’d definitely recommend it if you like Jake, because he’s definitely terrific in it.
Also hitting Netflix this week is Juana Macias' SOUNDS LIKE LOVE (Netflix), a Spanish language romance movie that (guess) I haven't seen!
A few other movies I didn’t get to this week, include:
STOP AND GO (Decal)
VAL (Dread)
BLUSH (UA Releasing)
RUNT (1091 Pictures)
Next week, it’s not time for James Bond, it’s time for James Bond to die… no, wait… there is NO TIME TO DIE! Also, a very, very special anniversary for the Weekend Warrior….

I Hate Myself for Loving You
Word Count: 4.3k
Summary: You and Roy Harper hated each other, ever since you met. Who knew a dog and an 8 year old would make you realize your true feelings for him.
Pairing: Roy Harper x Barton! Reader
A/N: Scott and Clint’s friendship inspired by Paul Rudd and Jeremy Renners friendship. I’m really happy and proud of how this came out.
“I really don’t see the point in training with them again.” You mumble as your dad practically drags you down a hallway.
“It’s good exposure to others’ styles!” Your dad, the one and only Clint Barton, A.K.A the mighty Avenger Hawkeye, insists. “Besides, Oliver’s a great archer, and Roy and Artemis have different styles than you.”
“Roy and Artemis have sticks up their asses.” You roll your eyes.
“Be nice.” He scolds as you finally reach a large, metal door. “Use your manners, don’t kill anyone. And ask before you take any food.”
“Dad, that rules more directed at you.” You poke his chest.
“Nope, remember when we got invited to Wakanda last weekend?” He reminded.
“They really should put up a sign that says ‘reserved for royalty’.” You shrugged.
You tap your foot impatiently while your dad puts in the code, and it flashes red. He grins nervously at you and tries it again, punching the dial pad when it’s wrong again.
“Having technical difficulties, are we?” You tease him.
“No!” He pouts. “Ollie must’ve given me the wrong code. Let me call him, this will all be resolved.”
You lean against the wall and yawn as your dad talks to Oliver on the phone, then punches in another code. This time it lights up green, and you’re let in.
You follow your dad inside, peering around. You hadn’t been to this facility before, they had come to yours before now. It was a cave of some sorts, but definitely technologically advanced. You see a few heroes your age you recognized from the news, all still in their costumes. Your eyes land on Roy Harper, the most infuriating man on the face of the planet.
“Oh great. You again?” He sneers down at you.
You glare at him and start to charge at him, but your dad ruins your fun and grabs you. You try to pry him off and kick him, but he doesn’t budge. Roy gives you a smug grin that you wished you could wipe off of his stupid face, and you notice the other two archers next to him.
“Sorry about her.” Your dad laughs awkwardly. “She’s a little...aggressive today.”
“I am not aggressive!” You finally kick him in the shin and he drops you, clutching it in pain.
“You are so grounded for that!” Your dad snaps.
“Clint, nice to see you made it past the door.” Oliver chuckled. “And Y/N, please excuse Roy’s comment. He also has some...behavioral issues.” Oliver narrows his eyes at the boy.
“I was just saying.” He shrugs.
“Can we get on with this, please?” Artemis crossed her arms in annoyance from behind Oliver.
“Yes, we should. Follow us.” Oliver says.
Your dad and Oliver strike up conversation and start nerding out over...whatever. You didn’t pay attention, your focus fixated on Roy.
He was strutting ahead of you, head held high and that stupid smirk on his face. You rolled your eyes, glaring daggers at the back of his head.
“So what have you been up to?” Artemis asked you.
“Nothing much. I kicked Falcons ass last Friday though. That was fun.” You shrug.
“No way.” She shook her head in disbelief.
“Um, yes way.” You playfully nudge her. “I’ve got in on video, I’ll show you after this torture session.”
“Are you two hens done clucking yet?” Roy asks, stopping at another room.
“Are you done being an asshat?” Artemis sassed back.
“Let’s watch the language, please?” Oliver sighs.
“What? I said hat.” She deadpans.
“Hawkeye and I will demonstrate, then how about we have a little competition?”
“Yeah, whichever one of you gets the most targets gets to...not run 50 laps!” Hawkeye announces.
“Well that’s stupid.” You scoff. “Don’t you know my stamina is not quite up to par lately?”
“Well maybe it would be if you woke up for training on time. Steve has been trying to tell you-“
“If the sun isn’t up, I’m not up.” You cross your arms.
“Oh, so you’re lazy as well as annoying?” Roy raised an eyebrow at you.
“I’m gonna-“ You lunge at him, but he ducks out of the way and you fall on your face.
“Ooh.” Everyone that saw that graceful move winced.
“Wow. So you’re lazy AND bad at aiming.” Roy tsked. “I don’t know if you understand the concept of an archer, but those are some essential attributes-WOAH!” He shrieks when you grab his ankle and tug him down. “Ouch!”
“That’s what you get for mouthing off again.” Oliver shakes his head as your dad pinched the bridge of his nose.
“Get up, losers. I’m ready to beat both of your asses.” Artemis hauls both of you up.
You and Roy glare at each other during the entire demonstration, not paying attention when the pro archers announce the rules and guidelines. You both race each other into the training room, and he growls when you beat him inside.
You bolt after each other as you jump through the course, shoving the other out of the way as you try to hit the target first. He laughs loudly when you miss the first one, then yelps when you shoot an arrow at him, grazing his hair.
“Hey, watch it! I just got it cut!” He whines as you shoot the target.
“Your precious hair is fine, I barely got it.” You rush ahead of him as he loads his bow, aiming for the target in front of you.
You quickly shot an arrow as his nearly hits the target, knocking it out of the way and hitting a bullseye. You turn to give him a cocky grin, yelling when he kicks you out from under your feet. He runs past you, but not before you grab his calf and bring him down with you once again.
“Idiots.” Artemis rolls her eyes as she stomps past the both of you, now wrestling each other on the floor.
You both watch with hopelessness as she hits the very last target, perfectly shooting the center. You groan and flop back down on the floor, dreading the laps you’d have to run. What was even worse, was that you had to run them with Roy. Stupid, arrogant, idiotic Roy Harper.
You had known the guy for exactly 3 weeks now, and you already hated him. You hated how he thought he was better than you. You hated how he smirked at you all smugly. You hated how he was actually really hot. He was buff and surprisingly a good shot. You will never say that though, his ego was clearly way too high for someone his height.
“Artemis, go treat yourself to some down time. You two ding dongs, get running!” Oliver shouts over to the two of you, still sprawled out on the ground.
Roy sighs as he gets up, and offers you a hand. You slap it away and get up yourself, and he raises his hands in surrender. You both get started on your laps, and on your 32nd one you’re about ready to pass out. You groan as you hold your head, feeling dizzy and faint.
“Can’t handle some light running?” Roy comes up behind you, grinning at first before he notices you’re sweating and your pupils are dilated. “Hey, are you okay?”
You respond by blacking out, and he quickly catches you in his arms. You drift in and out of consciousness as he yells for help, your dad and Dick Grayson rushing over to you. Your dad says something, but it’s echoey and indecipherable to you. Roy holds a water bottle to your mouth, helping you drink a few sips.
“...yo. Y/N, wake up.” Your dad lightly smacks your face. You blink a few times, slowly sitting up with Roy and Dicks help.
“That is the dumbest way to wake someone up.” You groan.
“You good?” He asked. “You didn’t drink enough water today, did you?”
“I had...some.” You mumble.
“Y/N!” He scolded.
“I got distracted!” You defend yourself. “It’s not my fault Lucky kept barking at me to take him for a walk!”
“You need to rehydrate yourself.” Dick says. “Your done with laps for the day.”
“Yes!” You grin as your dad helps you stand up. “Maybe I should be dehydrated more often.”
“No!” They all yell at you.
“Alright, Alright.” You mumble, trying to blink black spots out of your vision.
“I think we’re gonna head home.” Clint tells the others. “Thanks for helping her, Roy.”
“Sure.” He acted like it was nothing, but the voice in the back of his mind was telling him to worry and panic.
Roy watches as your dad leads you out of the cave, and he plops down onto the couch. He stared blankly at the tv, which was playing some horror movie Wally and Dick had put on.
He totally wasn’t worried about you at all! And he definitely didn’t freak out when he saw your eyes roll back in your head. His heart obviously didn’t drop when you passed out into his arms. He wasn’t concerned about your well being in the slightest. He hated you! You were annoying and you thought you were the better archer just because your dad was a famous Avenger.
“Dude, you good?”
“What?” His attention snapped back to reality, seeing Dick and Wally staring at him, Artemis, Megan and Kaldur snooping from the kitchen.
“Bro, what is wrong with you?” Wally laughed at him.
“Nothing!” Roy glared at his fellow red head.
“Your face is red, you’re sweating, and you’re bouncing your leg.” Dick blinked at him.
“He’s got the L word!” Wally sang, zipping over to Roy and slinging an arm around his shoulder.
“I don’t have time for this.” Artemis shook her head and left, Megan and Kaldur walking over.
“The L word?” Megan asked.
“Shut up, Wallace!” Roy hissed before he could even open his mouth.
“Dude, you’re crushing on Barton?” Dick snickered.
“Isn’t he a little old for you?” Megan asked.
“The other Barton.” Kaldur whispered to her.
“Ohhhh!” She said. “You guys didn’t know that?”
“You knew?” Wally asked.
“Why didn’t you tell us?” Dick asked.
“I do not have a crush on Y/N!” Roy stood up defensively. “You guys are stupid!”
“Roy and Y/N, sittin’ in a tree.” Wally sang, much to Roy’s annoyance.
“K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” Dick joined in, Kaldur chuckling and Megan just wondering what they were doing.
Roy rolled his eyes and stormed off, trying to block out their idiotic singing. He would deal with those punks later, but right now he had a lot of thinking to do.
•
“Wait, they’re coming here?” You trail behind your dad as he goes to the kitchen. “I thought only Uncle Scott and Cassie were gonna be here tonight!”
“Yes, for the football game, dear.” He sighs, patting your head teasingly. “I told you this last week. Now clean up the dog toys.”
“I get why Oliver’s coming, but why does Roy have to?” You complain, ignoring your dads order. “Can’t he watch it by himself? I would say with his friends but it’s hard to imagine he has any.”
“Y/N, he’s coming. And he’ll be here in 20 minutes, so pick up the damn toys.” He says, sternly this time.
You roll your eyes at him but oblige, picking up Lucky’s toys that he leaves everywhere. Once your done you rush to your room, making sure you look presentable.
Wait, why did you care? You hated Roy. He was an arrogant asshole, and a total dick. You hated how slick and charming he was, you hated his stupid smile and wanted to smack it off his face. His smile was dashing and gorgeous, but it made you furious. No, you didn’t really hate him. You hated how he made you feel. Vulnerable and...ew, giddy. You weren’t into all that lovey-dovey shit, no matter how many romcoms and chick flicks your father forced you to watch with him.
Your thoughts are interrupted when you hear the doorbell ring, and you hear Cassie happily saying hi to Uncle Clint. You check your appearance one more time, before walking out.
“Y/N!” Cassie runs towards you and hugs your legs. “We brought chips and salsa!”
“You did?” You smile as you kneel down to hug her properly.
“Well, half a bag of chips and what’s left of Hope’s salsa.” Uncle Scott shrugs, holding said bag out of Lucky’s reach as he jumps up. “So I hear we’re meeting some fellow archers?”
“Yup, my friend Oliver and his old protege.” Your dad nods as he tosses Scott a can of beer, and tugs Lucky off of him. “And Y/N’s arch nemesis.”
“What’s an arch nemesis?” Cassie asked, her innocent eyes peering up at you.
“Nothing, Cass.” You ruffle her hair, and she just shrugs and wanders over to your dad. “Uncle Clint, do you have any paper? Daddy forgot it.”
“Of course we do, come on.” Your dad leads her to the laundry room, which is in the back of the kitchen.
You notice your Uncle Scott grinning at you, a mischievous glint in his eyes. That was never a good sign.
“What?” You raise an eyebrow at him.
“Nothing.” He takes a sip of beer.
“Scott...” you warn.
“You don’t actually hate this guy, do you?” He asks.
“No, I do.” You shake your head. “He’s inferior in every sense of the word.”
“Mmmmhmmmm.” He pursed his lips, that evil glint never leaving his eyes.
“Uncle Scott!”
“Fine! Okay, I’ll drop it.” He chuckled in amusement.
It’s silent for a few moments.
“Is he cute?”
“Scott!”
Then the doorbell rings, and dread washes over you. You suddenly get a little anxious, now nervous about how the night was gonna go. Your Uncle Scott goes to the living room and turns on the tv, peaking over the edge of the couch as you open the door.
“Wassup, man?” Your dad shouts from the kitchen.
“Wassup, dude?” Oliver walks past you, Roy awkwardly following behind.
You shut the door and begin the usual glaring match with Roy, but quickly drop it when your dad carries pizza boxes to the living room, Oliver behind him with soda, beer and chips. Lucky runs over when he smells new people, immediately jumping up on Roy in excitement. Roy lets the dog sniff his hands, but jumps back when he barks at him.
“Ha! Even the dog doesn’t like you!” You laugh at him.
“Oh, haha, very funny.” He says sarcastically as he nudges Lucky away from him with his foot.
“Lucky, come on, boy.” You giggle, taking pity on Roy and pulling your dog away from him, then pat his head. “Good boy, protect us from the scary man.”
“Wow, you’re just so funny tonight.” Roy says dryly, despite the grin on his face. He goes to join the guys on the couch, while you lead Cassie and Lucky to the dining room.
Your dining room is connected to the kitchen and entryway, giving you a view of the back of the couch and the tv. You listen to Cassie as she draws and tells you about her dads latest adventure. Your eyes keep drifting to Roy, even though you can only see the back of his head, and part of his face when he occasionally turns to talk.
“Who’s he?” Cassie whispers to you, even though they would never hear anything you said over their cheering, complaining and hollering.
“That’s Roy.” You tell her. “I work with him sometimes.”
“Is he your partner?” She asks. “Like Daddy and Hope?”
“Kind of, Yeah.” You nod. “Well, actually, exactly.”
“So is he your boyfriend?” She asks innocently, and you nearly choke on your soda.
“Um, I guess not exactly. No, he’s not my boyfriend.” You shake your head, clearing your throat of soda.
“Really? But you looked at him like Hope looks at my daddy.” She says.
“What? When?” You ask. You feel sort of ridiculous, defending yourself against an 8 year old, who barely understood the concept of love in the first place.
“At the door. When Lucky attacked him.” She giggled, reaching down to pet the dog, who’s laying under her chair and staring up at you to beg for food. “Hope looks at daddy like that all the time.”
“Does she, now?” You raise an eyebrow, tossing Lucky the rest of your pizza crust.
“Yup.” She nodded, turning back to her drawing.
You look back over to the guys, smiling in amusement when your dad and Oliver cheer, Roy and Uncle Scott groaning. Roy stands up, grabbing empty pizza boxes and soda cans. You quickly turn back to Cassie as he makes his way over, pretending to have been listening to her the whole time. Lucky growled as he got closer, but you ordered the dog to ‘stay’, and thankfully he did. You didn’t need to deal with your dog biting Roy or anything.
Roy tried not to look at you as he passes, he has to remain inconspicuous. He steals a few glances while he stuffs the pizza boxes into the trash, smiling softly as you laugh at one of Cassie’s stories. He’s surprised you’re so good with kids, since all he knows is your guys’ little rivalry attitudes. It’s actually really cute, your kind and gentle smile makes his heart skip a beat.
You look over at him when you realize he’s been standing there for a few more seconds than he needed to, making eye contact with him. It takes a moment for him to realize he had been caught, clearing his throat and quickly rushing back to the couch, keeping an eye on the growling retriever. You turn back to Cassie and you both giggle. Even the little 8 year old understood what just happened.
“What’s so funny, back there?” Scott turns around to see his daughter and non-biological niece grinning at the back of Roy’s head.
“Nothing.” You both sing, and you turn to signal Cassie to be quiet. You both giggle again when Scott stares at the two of you in confusion.
After the game is over you say goodbye to Cassie and Uncle Scott, then start to clean up. Your dad and Oliver are still chatting away, so it was looking like Roy would also be staying for awhile, since Ollie was his ride.
“Need help?” He asked after he got bored of listening to the two men talk about physics and shit.
“Uh, I guess.” You shrug as you pick up the drawings Cassie made, then gather all the blank paper. “Just grab the trash from the living room, I’ve got this covered.”
“Cool.” He nodded, before doing as you told.
You both clean everything up quickly, then it’s awkward silence again as your mentors blab on and on about arrows, coffee and hero business. Lucky is on the couch, watching the both of you over the back of it. It’s actually quite funny, his eyes fixed on Roy, which made him uncomfortable that a dog was giving him a death glare.
“We have a dart board and pool table in the basement.” You suggest after awhile. “Little competition?”
“Anything’s better than listening to the two grandpas over there talk about taxes.” He agrees.
“Hey! We are very interesting people!” Oliver snaps playfully.
“No killing each other! I’m not driving anyone to the hospital if you decide you throw a dart at the others face!” Your dad shouts as you lead Roy to the basement door.
“I promise!” You call over your shoulder as Lucky barrels over, running downstairs before you can grab him.
“Oh great.” Roy mumbles as you shut the door and take the lead. “Is your dog gonna jump me as soon as I get down there?”
“Lucky’s harmless, you big baby.” You tease, flicking the light on and seeing Lucky had claimed his spot on the couch.
Your basement was pretty big, you and your dad had turned it into, essentially, a man cave. You had a bigger tv down here, and a smaller couch. On the other side of the room there was a pool table and a display rack, where you kept bows and arrows that were either your dads old ones or collectibles. On the other side of the room there was a stereo system that lined the wall, which sat on top of shelves of CDs, vinyls, and mixtapes. The carpet was a hideous red, which your dad insisted looked good. Yeah, maybe in the olden days, pops. Lastly, across from the pool table was a dart board mounted to the wall, Robin Hood: Men in Tights posters on either side (which Scott has gotten as a joke).
“Dang, cool place.” Roy said as he looked around the large room.
“Thanks. It’s mostly my dads stuff from the 80s.” You say. “Y’know how adults are about that stuff.”
“Oh yeah.” He nods.
“Now, ready to get your ass beat?” You grin, picking up the box of darts.
You play 3 games of darts, to which he won and made fun of you over. You had started up the stereo, playing your dads 80s rock mixtape to fill the moments of silence. Then you began to play pool, making quips and laughing if the other missed.
You watched as he lined up his cue, lips pursing and eyes narrowing in concentration. You watch his muscles flex as he prepares, catching yourself totally checking him out. You blush to yourself, thankful he was too focused on beating you to notice.
“Yeah, good luck winning now.” He says cockily as he straightens back up, smirking down at you smugly.
“Thanks.” You flick his nose, before lining your cue up.
You carefully calculate how this will end, grinning when you find the perfect angle. You cheer in victory as you pot the 8 ball, winning the game. He throws down the cue, as you gloat to him. You drop the cue as if dropping a mic, singing that you won in his face.
“Alright, I get it.” He pouts, despite the amused smile making its way to his face.
“So who has the better aim? Who’s better than you? That’s right. Me.” You boast, playfully shoving his chest as Joan Jett starts singing from the stereo speakers.
“You know, you should learn when to shut up.” He growls under his breath.
“Excuse me?” You raise an eyebrow.
Your eyes widen when he pulls you forward, crashing his lips into yours. You stiffen at first, completely stunned. You quickly get over it though, grabbing the sides of his face to bring him farther down to you.
He backs you up, then taps the back of your thigh to silently signal you to jump. You hop up onto the pool table, making it so he doesn’t have to lean down so far to kiss you. One of his hands is tangled in your hair, the other squeezing your thigh as you wrap your legs around his waist. Your hands move from his face down his torso, your hands sliding up his shirt and pressing against his abs. You part your lips to deepen the kiss, both of your tongues fighting for dominance. You feel him smirk into the kiss when he wins, but you don’t feel the need to particularly care in the moment.
Suddenly he jerks back, and at first you think he changed his mind or you did something wrong. Then you see Lucky, who had woken up from his nap and seen what looked to him like Roy attacking you. He tugged at the hem of Roy’s jeans, effectively knocking him to the ground. You doubled over in laughter as your dog climbed on top of Roy, nipping at his arm, which he had held up to block his face.
“Are you just going to sit there or are you going to call off the hound?” He asks desperately, trying to push the large golden retriever off of him.
“Lucky! Lucky, down boy.” You wheeze from laughter, gesturing for the dog to come to you as you jump down from the pool table.
You continue to die of laughter as Lucky happily bounces over to you, Roy slowly getting up and brushing himself off. You pet your dog, laughing so hard you snort when Lucky growls at Roy.
“What is going on down there?” You hear Oliver shout down the steps.
“I told you no murdering each other!” Your dad reminds.
“I don’t think Lucky likes Roy!” You call up, trying to hold back your laughter, since your sides were starting to ache by now.
“Lucky! Come here, boy!” Your dad calls in his ‘puppy voice’. Lucky bolts up the stairs, probably hoping that meant more leftover pizza crusts.
“Roy! It’s time to go!” Oliver yells.
“I’ll be up in a minute!” Roy shouts to him, then turns to you.
“Are you okay?” You giggle at him.
“Fine.” He mumbles, making his way towards the stairs. “Uh, I’ll see you later?”
“Yeah.” You nod, watching him head up the stairs. Then you rush after him and grab his hand. He turns back around and you tug him down by the collar of his shirt into another kiss. He wraps his arms around your waist, lifting you so that your body was pressed against his.
“Roy!”
“I’m coming!” He breaks the kiss, yelling at his mentor, annoyance evident in his voice. He turns back to you, voice and expression softening. “How about I pick you up tomorrow? No interruptions.”
“Sounds great.” You smile up at him.
He gives you one last kiss, before going upstairs. You grin and giggle to yourself in happiness as soon as the door closes, then fall onto the couch. You grab your phone out of your pocket, excited to tell your Uncle Scott about the amazing night you just had, and the date confirmed for tomorrow.

So I've been really into interactive fiction for a long while and I've finally decided to showcase my various MC(s) over different IFs.
(Who I may have incorporated from my OCs from a series (or at least a universe) I'm working on😌)
Picture made by Picrew (https://picrew.me/image_maker/625951)
This MC is based in Triaina Academy by @leo-interactive-fiction
WARNING: This post is long and doesn't have proper capitalisation at times
*looks at the camera* "This is boring, can I please do something else?"
File: #01 : Triaina Academy
Date of recording:*Data Corrupted*
Interviewee: Melody "Mai" Razor
---------------------PARTICULARS-------------------
Appearance: Hazel eyes that look like topaz in bright light and black hair that reach her shoulders. Wears a pair of red glasses and has a mole below her left eye.
Power: Blood manipulation
Description: Seemingly obedient as first, she'll roll along to anything that happens until it starts to inconvenience her or she gets bored. After that it'll be a 50/50 chance she'll start to mess around or just deviate and do something else entirely.
Doesn't trust easily, but loves to mess around with people by teasing them playfully after warming up to them.
Likes to act like she's running on a single brain cell 24/7, has a habit of running around aimlessly and just exploring places that seem interesting.
She took on the name of "Mai" to abandon her past and start anew. She'll grow to letting go of her abandonment issues and let extremely close friends of use her actual name after a long while.
---------------------VIDEO CUTS---------------------
*The following words appear on the screen: "What do you think about..."*
Emil Dobry
"Em's like the little bro I never had. Though, he tends to be a tad bit too naive for my comfort. We're kinda in troublesome times with cutthroats everywhere and I'm kinda worried he might not be able to make the right call when the going gets tough and I'm not there, you know?"
Notes: Her time as the eldest among her fellow sea urchins when young carried over to the present. She feels responsible for Emil and his happiness. Gets him little trinkets she finds from time to time and he is one of the few people she'll happily do favors for, no questions asked. (The other being a baker who gave her bread occasionally in the past)
Robin Vallenford
"Birdie? He seems alright, can't say much from him at first glance, just know he's hiding something. His fights with Em are a great source of entertainment at times, downright childish on others. On hindsight though, he does bring colour to the whole dorm."
*She tilts a head to the side, leaning back and kicking her feet up midair, grinning slyly*
"I think we'll get along juuust fine."
Notes: She seems to be respectful of Robin and interested in knowning him better. Would gladly play a round of cards with him even if she knew she was going to lose.
Vin Wolfe
*She frowns slightly* "I'm gonna be honest, I didn't think much of Sunshine back in the arena. But when he pulled that gun out I think I nearly lost 10 years of my life. But,"
*She stares at the ceiling thoughtfully*
"He doesn't seem to mean any harm, maybe he just has a few things to work off." *Mumbling* "Bet his aim's really good too, might want to see if he'll teach me."
Notes: She doesn't know what to fully make out of Vin, she's a little put off by the commander title (she's not used to commanding other people at all. She's prefers to operate independently). More than happy to teach him what she knows about academics. Notes to herself to keep an eye out for his sake.
Calls Vin "Sunshine" (at least in her head).
Leah Scio
*Her eyes light up* "Bluejay? She's really pretty and nice, quiet though. She's also pretty much the only other person I know that wears glasses and I think she reads alot! I'd really like to see her collection sometime. She's like Em, but doesn't appear to be naive. Actually, now that I think about it, I can't really compare those two. It's like oranges and pears you'know? She's definitely smarter, and less emotional when there's thinking to be done."
Notes: She enjoys Leah's company and wants to learn from her. One of the very few people she cares about that she goes easy on when fighting (she feels really bad hurting them). Calls her "Bluejay".
---------------------VIDEO CUTS---------------------
*Reading through a folder that has the word "CONFIDENTIAL" on its front* "Ooooo"
*A rough voice can be heard from behind the camera* "Woi, who gave that to 'er? Someone take it away!"
*The folder gets swipped out of her hands from a passer-by* "Wha-Hey! What gives-oh"
*she glances behind the camera and readjusts her voice, flashing a sheepish grin*
"Sorry, got a little distracted there, shall we continue?"
---------------------------------------------------------
Pierce Crater
"Firecracker? Well I don't really have much to say about him that he himself isn't already making obvious."
*She brings a hand up to her chin, posing in mock contemplation*
"He swears alot, jumps to conclusions, and is really prone to resorting to violence to solve his problems. He would honestly make a terrible diplomat."
*She pauses for a few moments, her eyes go distant*
"Though he does seem to put his best into the many things I've seen him do. His position as a representative might be saying something about his leadership...and he is really easy to embarrass...wonder how he fights...?"
Notes: Her attitude towards Pierce seems to change to somewhat more reasonable and surprisingly more careful, a stark contrast to her more playful and nonchalant interactions to her own dormmates. She doesn't seem to trust him much, but she also doesn't realise herself hanging around him more.
Unfortunately for Pierce (or "Firecracker") , she also seems to be increasingly curious about him after this interview. Granted, this was bound to happen sooner than later.
Matthew Crater
*She squints, a faraway look in her eyes*
"Snowflake's a strange one, never really met anyone who passes out so frequently. He's a cute one though, gonna be honest. Friendly too, other than that though, don't really know much else."
Notes: Amicable with Matthew (Nicknamed: "Snowflake"), she doesn't seem to understand much about his...suggestions to wake up. Most likely will nap with him if she catches his sleeping during a break.
Raven
*Her posture tenses slightly, before quickly relaxing*
"Bubbles'...alright. Honestly I'm more surprised by myself for not getting more freaked out. She unpredictable, and smarter than she lets on."
*She shrugs*
"Needs to calm the homocidal vibes though, I'd be more worried about Em when he's around her."
Notes: Slightly unsettled by Raven's (Nickname: "Bubbles") clinginess to her. She is curious on Raven's interest in her, but also slightly wary of what she could do.
Snipper of Scorpion’s Den
*Her smile grows into a wide Chesire-like grin*
"Ah, finally! Snip's unlike the other lot in the academy. Just met 'er and I already love 'er to bits. Not one to detect social cues though, and is a little too loud at times."
*she winks at the camera* "Trust me when I tell ya that if you were to leave us alone for even 2 seconds, and we'll paint the town red."
Notes: She'll never admit it, but Snipper reminds her a little like her old friends on the street, before she found a roof over her head. She misses them, the people who shaped her and that she'll never see again, making the times she and Snipper hang out sometimes slightly more melancholic.
Outside that though, she's more than willing to watch Snipper testing on something or just working on Sandy.
Fray De Forêt
*She bites her lip, giving a wistful smile*
"Liliac's alright, I don't hate her, she's just a little bit of a snob. Then again, I've never really talked to nobility before, so maybe I should save the judgement for later."
*She stops and smiles slightly at the ceiling*
"Though, she does have a certain respect for nature. I can understand that. The forests hide so many secrets and animals, what's not to love about it?"
Note: She's doesn't really have many feelings towards Fray( Nicknamed: "Liliac"), though she respects her power. She'll listen to her demands and maaaybe oblige them, but she'll be damned if she gives Fray full control over her.
-------------Video freezes, a static of the TV hums, before the screen cuts off into darkness------------

Tears In The Rain
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe…All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”
-- Blade Runner (David Peebles & Rutger Hauer)
The radar screen manufacturers -- RCA, GE, and others -- started jonesin’ for cash when the end of WWII dried up all that sweat & easy military materiel money.
Commercial consumer television existed before WWII in England, the UK, and Germany but it was a super-expensive technology confined to a few very wealthy homes in a few select markets or in Germany’s case, public venues such as beer halls.
Radar screens and TV tubes were basically different applications of the same thing, so the radar tube manufacturers shifted their production to TV sets pitched to post-war consumers as the must-have status symbol.
Problem:
Said TV sets needed something to show and while there was live national network and local programing, most early stations filled their air time with old movies / cartoons / serials / comedy shorts.
That was the cultural gestalt I and other boomers grew up in during the 1950s, an era when much of the on air media dated back to the 1930s.
I’ve always been more culturally observant and curious than others in my generational cohort, and while they blandly / blindly watched Bugs Bunny and Popeye and Betty Boop and Our Gang, I was asking my parents and grandmother and aunt about the odd details I saw in old media (it didn’t hurt that we had a beautiful art deco edition of Collier’s Encyclopedia that my grandparents acquired in the 1920s in the house as well).
As a result I knew far more about the Depression and Prohibition and war rationing and other major cultural events and touchstones prior to our generation than did most other boomers.
When our history and social studies textbooks finally introduced these topics in junior high and high school, I was already intimately familiar with them.
As a result, I fell in love with the Marx Brothers and continue to love them to this day.
And while I watched and re-watched The Three Stooges, once I discovered Laurel and Hardy I left Larry, Moe, Curly, Shemp, Joe, and Curly Joe behind.
But the thing is, to fully understand and appreciate and know and love the Marx Brothers, you have to understand the pop culture of their era.
The same applies -- to a lesser degree -- to Laurel and Hardy.
The key difference is that The Three Stooges are pure physical mayhem: There is nothing to understand.
They are imbeciles who inflict pain on themselves and one another, and while far, far inferior to Groucho / Harpo / Chico or Stan & Ollie, they will outlast them.
Anybody from any era or any culture can access The Three Stooges, but if you don’t understand a “gat” (short for gatling gun) is 1930s slang for an automatic pistol, then Groucho’s line upon seeing a automatic in a drawer with a pair of derringers -- “This gat’s had gittens” -- is absolute gibberish.
Likewise Laurel and hardy require some understanding of how American cultural values functioned in the 1920s and 30s; if you don’t get that, a lot of their humor is lost.
Our Gang / Little Rascals ages better because kids are kids and much of what they do is universal.
But even there much of their references have to do with the Depression or WWII rationing and scrap drives and if you don’t grasp that then those jokes zoom past you.
The situation isn’t confined to pre-WWII media, either.
The Marx Brothers and Laurel & Hardy might possibly be recognized by the current generation as something their parents and grandparents watched, but the Ritz Brothers are forgotten by all except those who specialize in comedy / pop culture history. Wheeler & Woolsey are even more obscure, and Olsen & Johnson obscurer still, and if you’ve ever heard of Lum & Abner my hat’s off to you.
And holy shamolley, those are just the comedians we’re talking about. There’s a whole universe of pop culture lost as fans of old B-Westerns die off, not to mention minor pop stars of music and small movies in the 1930s / 40s / 50s.
Silent movies have virtually disappeared from pop culture today; they are things of the past, historical artefacts.
Thanks to the Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg and Comic Book + and Digital Comics Museum and other sites, literally tens of thousands of hours of old radio shows and countless pulp magazines and comic books and other media are available, but who accesses them today except the truly die-hard genre fans or the pop culture historians?
Why morn their passing?
As Theodore Sturgeon famously observed, isn’t 90% of everything crap?
Yes, it is.
But that doesn’t make it any less of the cultural gestalt, the zeitgeist of the era than the few timeless gems that shine through.
. . .
As pop culture historian Jaime Weinman points out, the boomer generation -- the late 1940s to early 1960s -- offered a particularly fallow time for pop culture.
We enjoyed access to previous generations of pop culture, brought to us in curated form. Even if those curators were costumed local cartoon show and horror movie hosts, we got at least some understanding of what led up to our own generation.
Weinman observes that because of technical broadcast reasons, only a few avenues fell open to new programming -- and that new programming could be rerun again and again to fill in gaps in local stations’ air time.
It created a generation with remarkably deep pop culture roots, even if relative few members of that generation were aware of them.
We were, to some degree or another, aware of a vast library of older pop culture media and icons and idioms.
Ironically, this began changing in the late 1960s, slowly at first, but coming full flower in the mid-1970s as music cassette recordings allowed us to create our own playlists off radio shows and record players, and cable TV stopped being something for the hinterlands and started penetrating urban markets, thus literally uniting the country with first dozens then hundreds and a virtually infinite number of channels and streaming options.
But the real nail in the golden age of pop culture’s coffin was the introduction of home TV recordings and time shifting, meaning we no longer needed to wait for curated programing but could watch what we wanted when we wanted.
Despite a wider range of options, older material became less and less popular, and the lack of curation is a big part of that.
With nobody to supply some sort of context -- even goofy horror host context -- older examples of pop culture became less accessible.
The newer generations look less to the past, more to the future.
. . .
As I’ve written before, endings fascinate me.
Right now I’m seeing a generational shift with the boomer generation’s pop culture rapidly fading to be replaced by Generation Z and the generations to follow them.
I look at the boomer era and wonder how much will survive.
Very little, I’m afraid.
And that includes losing some of the best our era had to offer.
For example, how many people today know of The Firesign Theatre?
In the mid-1960s through the early 1970s, they performed absolutely brilliant satirical comedy on radio and recordings. Their album Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers received a Hugo nomination for best sci-fi drama presentation of 1970.
I still laugh when I hear their recordings -- but I laugh because I lived in that era.
Their humor relies heavily on topical subjects and the counter culture of the late 1960s-70s. They were very much a Southern California phenomenon…and thanks to radio and TV and movies of that era, that culture permeated the entire country.
But that era is gone, and now when I listen to them I laugh, but to use a specific example I laugh because I know who Ralph Williams was and what he meant to Southern California pop culture in that time.
You don’t get that, you don’t get the joke, and the brilliance of The Firesign Theatre’s humor is lost.
Like tears in the rain.
. . .
Cheech y Chong will survive, because like The Three Stooges, their appeal lies in their basic stupidity.
True, many of their routines make contemporary pop culture references, but material like “Dave’s Not Here” is timeless.
You don’t even have to get the drug references to find it hilarious.
Conversely, the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers will fade.
As characters, they are of a particular time and place: Hippie dippie San Francisco.
They can’t survive transplantation, as was demonstrated in their last few stories.
Now there’s an animated series that brings them from the swinging 60s to to Trump 20s and it just doesn’t work.
The creators Don’t Get The Joke.
I don’t blame them for failing to get the joke, but updating the Freak Bros. would be like updating the Marx Brothers.
It can be done, but only badly.
. . .
Music will always have musicians and buffs who will track every obscure item they can find, but a lot of the best and most innovative work will be forgotten by mainstream culture.
This is because in many case, the best musicians are way ahead of the rest of their field, and their innovations are only made palatable by others who take them up and reinterpret them in a way to make them accessible to contemporary audiences.
Frank Zappa, as much as I personally love him as a cultural icon, will fade fast after the last boomer dies.
Basically, he didn’t make singable music.
There are a lot of brilliant innovations in his work, but his lyrics are so idiosyncratic as to be impossible to cover.
That, and a lot of his lyrics and subject matter would not be comfortably acceptable today.
Yeah, when he did it he was trying to make a satirical point, but when modern audiences hear it, they don’t hear the sharp commentary on the culture of his time, they hear songs that seem to glorify sexual violence and racial bigotry.
Most of the people who decry so-called “cancel culture” today are hypocrites trying to justify their own offenses, but there will be creators and components of pop culture who simply aren’t going to make the cut.
I can show you on paper why radio’s Amos And Andy was a brilliantly written show.
You’re not going to get modern audiences to accept white actors doing blackface…or black voice.
Zappa is acceptable today because there are still enough people who get the joke.
When we’re gone, so are most of his songs (his instrumentals hopefully will live on).
. . .
Quentin Tarantino’s star is already starting to set.
His copious dropping of the n-bomb seemed daring and edgy in the early to mid-90s now seems boorish and tiresome.
People don’t want to listen to that, and how can you make them watch what they don’t want to watch?
The Hateful Eight might endure since it gives a sorta context for its racial animosity, ditto Django Unchained, but even they will be problematic due to Tarantino’s Red Apple universe -- a world similar enough to ours to be mistaken for it at first glance but ultimately completely different.
Inglorious Basterds will ultimately fail the history smell test by audiences who will perceive it as wildly inaccurate.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood probably has the least problematic elements in it, but it too is so firmly set in a specific time and place that only those who lived it can truly appreciate it.
When we’re gone, who can follow the pop culture breadcrumbs that lead us through the movie?
Tarantino is a brilliant writer / director, and film students in the know will study his movies to see how he pulled them off…
…but they’re going to move far past him.
(He may enjoy a revival 50 years from now, the way certain film makers get rediscovered a half century after their deaths. If so, it will be by people able to see past the pop culture references to the real story beneath.)
. . .
Roger Corman and other exploitation film makers aren’t going to as welcomed once the boomer generation departs.
Boomers see them as transgressive artists, tweaking the nose of so-called respectable society.
New generations will see they as creeps who exploited violence and sexism.
(And we shouldn’t mourn its loss; most of it is soft-core pornography. But there were a few shining moments that shine only if you know the context, and that is fading fast.)
. . .
Superheroes probably won’t die out just as Westerns never completely died out, but like Westerns their audience is rooted in a very particular time and place.
I mentioned B-Westerns earlier; once upon a time there were literally dozens of B-Western stars, each with their own face base and merchandising and movies…
…and now there are no more B-Westerns.
We remember Roy Rogers because he’s culturally referenced elsewhere (and Gene Autry because he left a great big museum in his name).
B-Westerns’ success was based on fulfilling audience expectations, essentially giving the same thing they’d seen before, only slightly different.
Superheroes have degenerated into that.
In their current form, they’re deconstructions based on what a previous generation’s pop culture produced.
The superhero market has been supersaturated in the past and collapsed before.
This time when it collapses it will take along countless near-identical characters and storylines.
What emerges from it will be as different from the current iteration of superheroes as The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly was from My Pal Trigger.
. . .
Likewise, if James Bond is to survive, there will be a drastic retooling of the property.
It is possible; Sherlock Holmes has been retooled often.
The original Connery Bonds, the ones we consider to be “iconic” will eventually be viewed as an embarrassment.
The world and its attitudes are changing, and while there will always be room for heroes, audiences will be a bit more discerning about which heroes they want.
The attitudes of the original Bonds will not fly with future generations.
. . .
Finally, one prospect that will make it into the future, though not necessarily on its own strengths, no matter how significant they are.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 has skewered pop culture via bad movies since 1988.
Supported by a legion of fans, there are several books and websites that annotate all the references found in the various MST3K series.
Scholars 500 years in the future will thank these fans and researchers for their efforts.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 and its various annotated spinoffs will be the Rosetta stone of 20th century pop culture.
It will provide a context to make the jokes understandable, but more importantly than that, it will open a window into what people were thinking and feeling in the last decade of the 20th century.
It and the films it spoofed will be studied with near Talmudic intensity (you think I jest; I do not). They’ll provide insight that will help future generations and cultures understand this one.

Teen Wolf Rewrites, Fix-Its & Canon Divergence
Have you seen the TV series and found the characters treated badly? Maybe you have and maybe you haven’t and I fall into the latter category but I will always enjoy people’s take on our favourite characters~
P. S. Can you see how the recs just starts to deviate from my original intention?
Gif made by me using Pixel Studio, inspired by the fic Tattoo
The Dolorous Stroke by Escalus wc: 81525, ch: 20/20
Stiles and the younger members of the pack are in the middle of their junior year. Things are quiet; there's finally a chance to be happy. There's a chance for them to be teenagers and maybe even pursue love. But everything is about to erupt once again as buried secrets come to the surface, the Alpha Pack finally makes its move, and the guilty will be brought face-to-face with their crimes.
Oh, and after disappearing for more than a year, Scott McCall has returned to Beacon Hills.
This is a rewrite of the first half of season three with the idea that Stiles was bitten in Wolf Moon instead of Scott.
Losing Control by KhaSterek, sisforsterek wc: 35207, ch: 10/10
Sterek-centric retelling of Teen Wolf, with a few changes to a few characters, and how that changes the canon version of events.
"Are you ashamed of what you are?" The wolf says, already getting up from his place on the couch beside Stiles.
"Of course not!" He says. Because he really, really isn't. It's the only thing connecting him with his mother, and he could never be ashamed of that.
"What then?" Derek asks, angrily.
“I want so badly not to have to hide who I really am, Derek, what I really am, but it’s out of my hands,” Stiles says, feeling his eyes sting from unshed tears.
Stop There, and Let Me Correct It by Livinginfictions wc: 28284, ch: 6/13
When Stiles' late night stroll with his best friend ends in said friend being turned in a howling creature of the night, he does his best to cope with his now batshit crazy life.
-
The first in a series of episode by episode rewrites of Teen Wolf from Stiles' perspective, including missing scenes as I imagine they might've been, and a few dialogue changes. Canon compliant for Season 1, but later seasons will be Canon Divergent.
Hear The Wheels As They Roll by crossroadswrite wc: 44919, ch: 2/2
“You can’t be here. This is private property,” someone calls out and for some reason that voice sounds painfully familiar.
When it hits him why, Stiles almost chokes with the realization, “Derek Hale,” he says, unbelievably happy because he remembers Derek when they were young.
Derek looks grumpier, sadder, angrier. Stiles can’t really fault him for that. He also looks surprised that Stiles knows who he is. He squint/glares suspiciously at him, his nostrils flare for a second before he widens his eyes almost dramatically.
“Stiles,” he says quietly, like he can’t really believe it.
Stiles beams, “Yeah, you remember me!”
I Was A Teenage Werewolf by HaleHathNoFury (My_Trex_has_fleas) wc: 419518, ch: 46/50
Stiles just knows he's going to get lost in the woods. There must be a Laura Palmer reference in there somewhere.
A fork in the road retelling of Teen Wolf where Stiles is the one to get bitten.
Mockingbird Smile by HaleHathNoFury (My_Trex_has_fleas) wc: 3554, ch: 1/1
Kate has come to Beacon Hills to seduce Derek Hale and kill the Hale pack.
Maybe she should have done some more research first.
(First in a series)
(I can’t gush enough about this particular writer!! Her AUs are awesome!!)
A Christmas Miracle by HaleHathNoFury (My_Trex_has_fleas) wc: 5052, ch: 1/1
Scott needs to get his pack beyond the border and away from the Hunters that are wiping out all supernatural creatures, but while he's trying he runs into an unexpected old friend.
(First in a series)
My Blood Approves by churkey wc: 7188, works: 2
Life of Stiles Stilinski, autistic werewolf.
Your Darkness Will Be Rewritten by Omni wc: 11460, ch: 1/1
Stiles is no guardian angel. In fact, as an incubus, he's pretty far from it. But still, it seems he's always there at the right place and the right time to be the protector that Derek didn't even know he needed.
(An alternate timeline where Stiles prevents the Hale fire, and returns to Beacon Hills years later when someone's performing three-fold ritualistic killings.)
A Jump To The Left by GracieBirdie wc: 4283, ch: 1/1
Older grouchy broken Stiles somehow ended up with younger sassy actual ray of sunshine Derek.
It Started With a Game by nightlight9 wc: 2803, ch: 1/1
It’s one thing to have Stiles as his anchor. It’s another thing entirely to realize that he’s in love with his best friend. His best friend who happens to be three years younger than him and, oh god, John is going to have him arrested. He won’t be able to become a cop because he’ll be behind bars.
Tattoo by littlefrog1025 wc: 5675, ch:1/1
Sterek fix-it fic of Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 1: Tattoo
Stop Crossing Oceans by green-leaf (greenleaf) wc: 11654, ch:1/1
“There are no absolutes, Scott! No hard rights or hard wrongs! The world doesn’t fucking work that way and we can’t afford to think like that, because people are going to die! We signed up for that the moment we got involved with all this!”
“We? We?” Scott hisses. “Don’t you think you? Don’t forget that you’re the one who dragged us into that forest the night it all started, Stiles. So if it’s anyone’s fault, it’s yours.”
Something inside Stiles cracks, so strong and so deep that he practically hears it.
The One You Choose by Livinginfictions wc: 13440, ch:1/1
Stiles hadn’t seen Scott in over a week, except for glances he caught during school hours.
No one called, until someone did. by queen_of_OTPs wc: 4419, ch: 1/1
Stiles found that he hadn’t spoken more than necessary since August. Gone were the rambling rants, extravagant gestures, and range of vocal tones. Monotone sentences that were cut with sharp edges, words like knives and tone like venom.
No one had called.
(Gift for stereksau on tumblr for the Summer Sterek Exchange 2017)
Multidisciplinary Studies by DevilDoll wc: 51348, ch: 7/7
Stiles is a slightly-older-and-very-sexy librarian and Derek has a thirst for knowledge.
Laura is Badass by hoars wc: 5079, ch: 1/1
Laura's not expecting two teenage boys to burst into the bakery, brandishing lacrosse sticks yelling about “Kidnap!” and “Pedobears!” and “Sex slaves are illegal!”
She’s flabbergasted.
“Cupcake?” Derek offers.
age: a sum of years and experiences by hoars wc: 11285, ch: 1/1
Dear Jeff Davis,
When you grow up reading Tamora Pierce, large age gaps do not make you hesitate when it comes to your OTP.
Sincerely,
hoars
Big Bad Wolf by Nival_Vixen wc: 11758, ch: 9/9
Stiles knows that someone needs and trusts him, and it's not his father or Scott - it's Derek.
After he discovers that Kate's kidnapped Derek, Stiles tracks him down, and with the help of the pack, Stiles gets his big bad wolf back.
set your flag on fire by Siria wc: 35840, ch: 1/1
"Things have been getting progressively weirder since you two left," Stiles told Cora and Derek. "Like, weird even for Beacon Hills."
(Canon divergent from mid-season 3).
The Stilinski Pack by Siria wc: 5668, ch: 1/1
"You mean we're going to be bros and we're going to be bros?" Scott said. His smile grew impossibly wider. "This is the best news ever!"

BNHA AU Ideas : Quirkless Erasure
Also on AO3!
TL;DR:
In some worlds, Midoriya Izuku is the first quirkless hero. But not in this one, not by far.
Because his homeroom teacher is the hero he's always looked up to: UA's first quirkless Pro Hero.
----
Izuku isn't the only quirkless one, and Aizawa gets into the hero course via emotional devastation against his opponents.
anyway so: quirkless aizawa bc i need that
everyone thinks he has a quirk like emotional manipulation of something but no he's just fucking savage, he gets into the hero course bc he blasted the absolute shit out of mic
everything’s on youtube it’s one of the most viewed videos of all time
this aizawa's eyes are permanently gold bc i headcanon it's his quirk that makes his eyes black, not the colour they flash
"you yell because you have a constant fear no one is really listening to you. you play the class clown and don't try too hard so when you look back you think "i failed because i didn't try" not "i failed because i wasn't good enough""
"bro,,, bro what the fuck did i do to you"
aizawa isn’t even salty he’s quirkless tbh
"you're pushing this on me because it hurts, right? your loud, flashy but damaging quirk means the only thing people think you're useful for is heroics. did you want to do this, or is this the only way society will let you feel comfortable in the role it presses in on you"
"well being quirkless is rough but at least i cn be whatever i want to be"
mics just shell shocked mics not even using his quirk and everyone’s just uwu he’s erasing mics quirk
all aizawa does is walk is close and mutter "society thinks im worthless, which is rough. but you have to put your life on the line or you're nothing better than a villain to the people"
and just, lightly pushes him out of bounds
pls mics just in Love this guy tore him to fucking pieces but Damn
aizawa helps him up off the floor
"so im probably not wrong but im a little sorry for saying it on live tv"
mic "youre amazing"
aizawa just goes bright red and starts sputtering
aizawa: the emotional devastation hero
weakness: genuine compliments
consider 1A teacher aizawa just still made of emotional devastation, nezu made him promise not to use his powers of destruction on his children unless he was expelling them
this is a quirkless izuku au too, mirio got ofa, allmight encouraged izuku to be a hero after the fight but had no quirk to give him and he manages to make his own way into the hero course
so izuku is a little analyst, gets mostly hero points but uses sharp rebar and poles to smash in the sensors of some robots, getting him a few non-rescue points either. Aizawa is watching like "oh interesting a non-combat quirk" and beside him allmight is vibrating with excitement
"he might actually do it!"
"who might do what"
allmight turns sheepishly to aizawa
"young midoriya on camera 6, he might just be the first quirkless student to pass the enterance exam to heroics straight up"
and aizawa can hardly watch anyone else for the rest of the exam, he adopts this kid on the fucking Spot
hes on the edge of his fucking seat, when nezu sends out the zero pointer. "this kid only needs 10 more points, just ten more" and izuku turns around to look at the 0 pointer and aizawa is like "fuck kid i hope you know what youre doing"
he manages to shove a piece of rebar into the treads, stoping it in its place. it tries to swat him like a bug but he just dives out of the way, picks up ochako and sprints and aizawa is like "holy shit holy shit these bastards better give this kid hero points for that"
like they are assigning final hero points and aizawa has to awkwardly put his hand up "i,,, should probably be excluded from giving midoriya hero points because i went from 0 to bias very very quickly"
allmight just nods sagely
"young midoriya be like that sometimes"
pls aizawa tries to act extra tough bc he can’t let anyone know he’s Adopted this child
for all izuku's brain hes useless w social stuff and thinks aizawa hates him but everyone else k n o w s
also izuku is the only person in 1A who knows ab aizawa's "quirk" and hes like, constantly vibrating w glee around the guy
aizawa walks in the first day, hears bakugo asking how this "quirkless bastard" got in, grabs bakugo w his scarf and yeets him into vlad’s room
"ok students, looks like we are a class of 19. any other comments before we start?"
and like everyone is so lost no one questions it
bakugo is screaming bloody murder until vlad "kindly" tells him ua has a strict no discrimination policy and aizawa would have been well within his rights to expel him
please nezu is like "uwu take one of 1B to make the classes even" and vlad is like "no ive already bonded tough cookies" vlad just adopts bakugo instantly
monoma and bakugou become bros, the baku-squad is 50% a thing, but its mostly 1B students but with pinning kiri. kendo and bakugo both keep monoma in line, monoma and kendo keep bakugo in line
during the sports festival shinsou is like "you must have a blessed quirk to get into the hero course"
and izuku just has this "really. this si what we're doing now" look on his face. hes just gesturing to shinso in exasperation, trying to make eye contact w aizawa hidden up in the commentary box
all you can hear from the box is aizawa quiet snickering as mic tries not to give the game away. he yeets shinso out of bonds and just hauls him back to his feet
"im quirkless you nonce"
"oh,,,"
"yeah, oh. what, gonna be embarrassed a quirkless kid kicked your ass?"
"nah i just feel bad for being a dick"
"ok you are the only valid person ive ever met, come meet my not-dad"
"wait what"
izuku fireman carries shinso into the announcers booth and just presents him to aizawa
you can just vaguely hear "no not kid" "but he'll be perfect" "kid this is live ask me after the festival" "but! hed be perfect! and you could train him to carry on your legacy of soul-crushing burns" "... hmmm"
"do i get a say in this?" "no" "nope"
mic just loudly saying "SO BEFORE WE WITNESS A CHILD CRY LIVE ON AIR AGAIN, AS ALWAYS HAPPENS IN THIS FESTIVAL, LETS START THE NEXT ROUND!"
there’s a counter
“days since someone last cried:
0”
please its like "times cried durring all sports festivals" "average cry events" "number of times cried this festival"
aizawa being even more of a dad than canon, like hes a mess he sees on sad kid and he's like "wow that's my kid now"
he makes them soup when they get sick and leaves it outside their doors, refuses to admit its him doing it
soup cryptid
please mic is like 100% in love with him and had been for years but aizawa still has internal bias against the quirkless and thinks he's not good enough for mic so he cant make himself see the flirting for what it really is
“haha he’s just being friendlyL
“aizawa i literally want to marry u”
“awww ur so nice u mean as friends tho right?”
in this au ive decided that quirkless heroes are a thing, but pretty rare, in japan they are all underground bc villains go after them a l o t. there are some public ones in america but they tend to,,, die,,, pretty quickly
and bc there are some quirkless heroes everyone acts like discrimination isn't a thing anymore and quirkless people should shut up while quirkless people are still getting killed and committing suicide at like 500% the rate of people with quirks
also the suicide rate is,,,,, significantly higher in japan but no one ever talks abt it bc japan the “ideal place for people with quirks” so that surely means nothing could ever go wrong
izuku does the "its your power" speech in like 3 parts, before, during and after the sports festival bc he needs he bones w no quirk
stain asks izuku what his quirk is and izuku does the "wouldn't you like to know, weather boy"
",,, where are your parents"
"one abandoned me straight up and the other is giving it a red hot go right now, try me coward"
izuku but everytime he roasts a villain he does it in vine quotes
tl;dr in the au inko is like,, not ok w izuku being a hero and she's trying to do the "leave the school or you can't live here any more" ultimatum and it's not working for her
bc izuku said "ok bye then" and now lives out of his backpack. no one knows. he just like,, sleeps on the train
and iida is like "owo could i come over to your house" and izuku is like
"aaaaa its on fire. yep. made of arsenic and always in flames, why dont we go to the park"
everyone in 1a is like betting on what his house is like. they harass katsuki in 1b but he refuses to talk
hes like "hell no i got thrown into another class for talking ab that nerd eat my left tit"
they only fucking work it out when aizawa and allmight go to izukus house to talk ab dorms and there is literally no one there
aizawa asks izuku ab it like "kid you need to update your forms with your current address" and hes like "oh worm, she moved? wack."
“u,,,,didn’t know,,,,”
“nah lmao i sleep on the bench in a park near here”
“my boy,,,,,l
"what, ochako lives alone!"
"yeah, in a fucking house, kid"
aizawas just: this is literal child abuse i’m ur guardian now
allmight "hes my kid too dont be greedy"
"fuck off all might you already have mirio"
"and you already have shinsou!"
nighteye, from around the corner "ill take him!"
aizawa and allmight "NO"
mic adopts him
nezu just sitting in the distance
"well, its my school. i get the kid"
one whole school full of adult heroes "NO ITS MY SON,,,"
izukus like crying
"wait,,, you guys aren't sick of me? wild" while sobbing
afo out of nowhere: i’ll take the child :)))
everyone collectively: N O
for self-indulgence, izuku is the youngest in the class for this au so they all call him their little brother
consider: quirkless aizawa is very similar to normal aizawa but he does practise self-care, he just tries to make it look like he doesnt because hes like that
if i dont take care of myself ill never be able to stand up to the heroes w quirks but also do i deserve normal good human things
tl:dr: he can cook well and is trying to teach izuku that 2-minute noodles and apples arent hero fuel
inko is like: "uwu i wont change what i cook for you so you'll just have to make do owo" in like, a pathetic attempt to get him to stop training so izuku runs off protein bars, electrolyte drinks and raw vegetables
just like, his bento at school. its only raw mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes and 2 full carrots
the only time he gets like a kinda valid balanced meal for a hero in training is when he pops by bakugous place and mitsuki forces him to stay for lunch
izuku is like "oh hi bakugo i have ur book-" "HI ITS LUNCH GET IN PIPSQUEAK"
hes just thrown into a chair, bakugo isnt even confused. izuku is like ",,,, so vlad gave me your book bc your house is near mums." "fair enough. hope you like miso salmon"
izuku just looks stary eyed
"f i s h ??? warm food bakugo id kill for you"
"deku wtf"
"i had nothing but 3 scoops of protein powder and 2 tomatoes today"
“dEKU WHAT THE FUCK”
"i had to eat the protein podwer with plain water kacchan. protein sludge followed by two raw tomatoes. i would commit real actual murder for you"
mitsuki always packs an extra bento after that
so like when it’s dorm time izuku gets rly stressed out bc he doesn’t know how to cook for himself??? bakugous in the 1b dorms and even if he wasn’t he definitely wouldn’t cook for him
1a goes on a fucking shopping trip, chaperoned, obviously
and they’re lining up and aizawa sees that izukus cart is only filled with like??? instant noodles and like two (2) fruits and he’s losing his mind bc yes okay he’s a child but he’s also a young hero and he’s going to get a heart attack by 20 if he doesn’t fix his diet
aizawa is like "izuku, you cant eat that" and izuku just goes "oh ok" puts the noodles back and comes back with a tub of protein powder and like 11 vegetables and a bag of kale
okay this is an improvement kinda, how do u cook it
,,,,,c
cook?
izuku just has a totally blank face
"i was just gonna like,,, eat it"
"raw."
"uh, yeah, is that not how u eat vegetables?”
"thats a potato. and some leeks. thats a fucking onion"
"it wont kill me though"
"thats,,, that not how you pick food kid."
“but vegetable??? good????”
"kid do you even fucking like any of this"
"wait, im supposed to like?? my food???"
yagi in the fucking health food isle hearing this is 50% laughing but 50% crying
aizawa: “izuku ur supposed to eat a well balanced and tasty meal”
izuku: *surprized pikachu face*
please even todoroki is like ",,, at least fuyumi could c o o k"
oh god imagine having a worse diet than shouto todoroki from 1a who eats nothing but cold soba and drinks juice
also please aizawa is like "kid i thought you just happened to be thin but now im seeing thats not the case"
bakugo in the distance "like inko ever fed him enough anyway lmao"
aizawa "WAIT WHAT"
whys bakugou shopping with 1a? its actually all 40 of the first years just descending on this poor little store. it’s this little mom and pop grocery store and a billion hungry hero hopefuls just burst through the door like 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝒏𝒖𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒔
izuku is like "oh its too expensive" and aizawa is just holding a bag of rice, aizawa is like "its cheaper than the protein powder you have"
and izuku is like "yeah i mean its empty calories and im not paying that much for empty calories"
",,,"
"thats what you taught us sensei!"
"EMPTY CALORIES ARE ONLY A PROBLEM IF UR EATING TOO MUCH"
"and?"
"YOU HAVE 3 POTAOES FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS"
"i can put some back if you want?"
"THATS EXACTLY WHAT I DONT WANT"
