"Do people honestly believe a character like Elain who prefers to have nothing to do with weapons and violence is well suited for a character who enjoys torturing people on a regular basis? Over her own Mate who has very similar ideas on hurting others and wanting revenge (which is to say they don't prefer it at all?)"

You nailed it.I believe some El/riel ship them together so they can have three brothers and sisters😍—when they have to understand that Nessian and Feysand were written to be compatible, EQUALS-Feyre is an high lady,Rhys is an high lord; Nesta is a valkirye to match her mate who is A GENERAL

What does Az and El have in common? NOTHING.

Well, it's a forbidden love; she becomes his will to live :D

Forbidden love where?we have already a forbidden love and that is Helion and Lucien's mother—the circumstances don't allow them to be together and her husband can kill her if he found out about Lucien.

That's the forbidden love we need to root for because we know that Lucien's mother deseves better—SHE HAS HELION'S KID, SHE COULD HAVE..ended the pregnancy but she didn't because she wanted a piece of Helion.

If Elain wanted a piece of Az, she would have kept the necklace.

She did?

No, she returned it.

Why? We need to find out.

Forbidden love where?

Does Lucien kidnapp Elain and threaten to kill her if she doesn't go with him?

No.

Az was going to risk the alliance with Lucien, invoking a blood duel to be with Elain because he believes he deserves her and to fit in the "Three brothers and sisters category".

Well Az is- No. We are adults, Az is an adult, he's not some baby to fuss over-it makes me laugh that is believed he's a soft baby and with Elain it would be the purest and gentlest love we have ever seen🥺(I don't lie to you that was some comments in Tik Tok😑) but we know the quote- the quietest person are the most dangerous and not in the good way.

Lucien didn't do anything to protect Feyre from Tamlin-Yes he didn't do anything and I acknowledge he's not perfect and he was caught in the middle between Feyre and his friend that he has known for decades...doesn't Cassian show that level of loyalty to Rhys?doesn't he defend him with all his might?

Yes the circumstances are different, but Tam was still Lucien's friends and at the end of the day he chose to save Feyre, without powers..so yeah..

Az has very serious issue and the last thing I want for El is to be his savior.

I believe he sees El as something pure to protect like you have pointed out in your analysis and that'a major flag—Az has self-esteem issues and doesn't see himself as worthy.

Do we want El to be his saviour?to show him that life is worth to fight for( what kind of message would send?to be the punching bag and the personal therapist of an assasin? Ew.No.)

No because El doesn't fit in the NC( and the author has stated over and over again that El prefers gardening and dancing instead of battles and violence; she returned Az's knife to him, a part of him)

In 2018 the author has made an interview and talked about Nessian's date's type and the last book of Acotar came out in..2021.

The author hinted Lucien's new companion in 2015.

I don't think she has changed her mind and with the bonus chapter she has shown how problematic Az can be; and if she wanted to hint a possible triangle, Az could have talked about about El's personality NOT her body, how soft and delicate she was.

He could have thought about unfair the mating bond was to give the woman he loves to Lucien; he did not, he didn't think beyond his sexual fantasies

He's not jelaous of Lucien because he has the woman he loves, he's jelaous of the mating bond and that is connected with his self-esteem issues; and if she ever wanted El/riel as endgame, why his chest sparkled when he thought about Gwyneth who doesn't seem bothered by violence and blood and doesn't reject who Az is, calling him shadowsinger.

Rhys was Feyre's savior and Cassian is Nesta's strength.

El doesn't need a savior or need to be strong(she doesn't already fit in NC☹-I'm gonna repeat it until the day I die) she needs SUNSHINE(LUCIENNNNN)

Also Lucien is the author's favorite character so she wants him to suffer MORE THAN BEFORE? What?

So all this build up from 2015 for nothing? A decade for nothing?

Sorry to rant, just angry that they reduce El to the soft and gentle love interest and for that she's matching with a cruel and cold spy😒

I've always got an ear to lend for any rants necessary! And you're right, Az and Elain really don't have anything in common and I think it goes over E/riels heads that the moments they seem to have something in common (like Feyre noting that they are the most polite of the characters) ignores what SJM has told us about Az. He did not have a normal upbringing, he learned to don the "frozen mask" in his fathers dungeon, pushing down his emotions. To me, Az acts the way he does because he learned later in life that in order to fit into society, you have to behave in certain ways. A lot of how Az acts in front of the others is because he's wearing the mask that he knows others would expect of him. Occasionally his true self slips through and it scares the characters. He's been able to hide that side of him from Elain but I think she'd be in for a big surprise if Az showed her his true self. And forbidden love? Does Elain know it's forbidden? And if she found out, do readers honestly think she wouldn't march up to Rhys and give him the exact same speech she gave to Nesta? Part of me thinks she heard exactly what went down between Az and Rhys in the POV (remember, she could hear the sea from the townhouse AND Lucien's heart beating through stone walls at opposite ends of the HOW) so chances are, she may have heard exactly what Az told to Rhys and Rhys told to Az and she chose to give back the necklace as a result. I highly doubt Elain would be a fan of hearing Az wanting to be with her because she's the third sister (saying nothing of actually liking her as a person) refusing to answer whether he's over Mor, and that he thinks so little of killing Lucien. Az is acting like a giant whiny baby right now and I honesty believe he needs to be put on a time out. He doesn't deserve to be rewarded with a mate at this stage (or at least not be aware that he has one just yet) and get a HEA before Lucien. And I want more for Elain than using her as a plot device for Az's self worth, forcing her to be the one to fit in to his world of cruelty, making it so she's there to calm the baby's feelings over his temper tantrums over Lucien and not getting a bond and feeling like he can tell others what Elain should or shouldn't be doing. Elain deserves to walk away from yet another person who thinks she's too pure and innocent and can't handle anything dangerous.

literally just a list of my favorite webdramas and short-run tv dramas bc this is my house

My Fuxxxxx Romance (2020)

messy not-really love triangle where four people become friends in a bar. two of them start screwing around while the guy prefers open relationships and the girl's friend is hella toxic and in love/obsessed with her so she starts sleeping with the guy to prove he's shitty. the 2nd guy is there to be the foil/naiive one that's new to this whole world tbh. it's just a really great drama where there isn't a single character you're meant to like or cheer for. they're all sucky people in their own way lol. anyway, it was literally made around and to promote Park Won's album of the same name.

Please Find Her (2017)

it's CUTE, it's an ad for Itaewon, you learn some Korean at the end of every episode lol. about a mixed Dutch man named Jan who flies to SK to find the girl he fell in love with. the plot's a little all over the place, but it's an ad. and it's cute >:( Lee Hyun Jae is the love of my life. Hayoung and Hyungwon are there

You Raise Me Up (2021)

a man is going THRU IT with his life and self confidence and anxiety and everything genuinely sucks for him. his urologist and old gf (Hani) brags about him being this super amazing and jealousy-worthy first love bc her current boyfriend sucks. lots of emotional vulnerability and growth. i love it sm

The Witch's Diner (2021)

honestly this one's just fun! i love every single main actor, i love the dark witchy aesthetic. each ep follows a different main subject who needs their lives fixed in some way. but ofc if you make a deal with the devil/a witch, it's not gonna go exactly how you expected. idk i love this one, it's got my mother Song Ji Hyo in it

Little Mom Scandal (2008) and Little Mom Scandal Season 2 (2008)

a very old one that i watch yeeears ago but it still holds a special place in my heart. super real, less fairy-tale idealistic romance, as most 2000s dramas were. it's about an 18-year-old teen mom and her struggles with raising a baby, being a wife, and trying to live her life. the friendships in this one are what stuck out the most tbh. they're the primary focus, despite the title/attention grabber.

Birthcare Center (2020)

this one's about a successful career woman who suddenly finds herself pregnant. she spends the time after giving birth in a birthcare center, common places for moms to get help when starting out. she's self concious about being much older than the other women but makes a bunch of friends in the other mothers who have stories and struggles of their own and she actually has a healthy relationship with her husband. we love to see it. uh, found family :( <3

The Killer's Shopping List (2022)

about a guy who has an incredible memory and is locally praised for stopping a dangerous robbery when he was a kid but struggles to pass his civil service exam. he's determined to make it while working at his mom's convenience store. but a murder happens at the apartment building he frequently delivers to and they're huge suspects bc the delivery bag at the victim's house. so he, the market workers, and his cop gf (Seolhyun) try to solve the serial murders themselves. it has good queer rep imo, not gimmicky but not so subtle it might as well not be there.

Our D-Day (2023)

big tw for suicide mention, attempts, and ideation. tw for abuse, as well

it's still airing! one week left. but it's about a suicidal 30-year-old and his friends all trying to navigate their lives. he literally spends the entire drama so far trying to figure out how to end things and you slowly learn why throughout. it's pretty dark right from the beginning tbh but they balance it with humor that might not be everyone's taste. tbh it just feels real to me, so that part doesn't personally bother me. i do know why it would affect someone else, though. definitely not for people sensitive to the subject matter.

#nobody asked for this but i have a lot of feelings abt short dramas so take them #kdramas #kdrama #my fuxxxxx romance #please find her #you raise me up #the witchs diner #little mom scandal #birthcare center #the killers shopping list #our d-day

Trump prosecutions keep coming.

July 28, 2022

Back in October, WoW described for you one of the twice-impeached conman's lesser-known flimflams (see: "Don's latest con"). That would be the one where he takes his privately owned Trump Media and Technology Group (parent company of the failing social media platform, Truth Social) and merges it with an empty shell company that's publicly traded (in this case, a firm called Digital World Acquisition Corp.), so he can sell shares to gullible MAGA investors.

It's your standard "pump and dump" swindle. And with Trump loudly hyping the deal's announcement last fall, the share price of DWAC skyrocketed to as high as $175. But even before the merger could take place difficulties began cropping up.

As reported by CNBC, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) informed Securities & Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler that

DWAC may have committed securities violations by holding private and undisclosed discussions about the merger as early as May 2021, while omitting this information in its [SEC] filing and other public statements.

SEC regulators, accordingly, began investigating these possible violations by seeking records of meetings involving the company’s board of directors, its policies and procedures related to trading, as well as the identities of certain investors. According to Forbes, "The focus of the review seems to be on whether the two sides negotiated before DWAC went public, which would be illegal." But things got worse for the tangerine hustler. Last month, a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York issued subpoenas to the company and each member of its board in connection with the SEC inquiry.

The reason this is such bad news for Donald Trump is that the deal he struck with DWAC gave him virtually unlimited power over the company, allowing him to decide who sits on the board of directors and enabling him to block matters that would normally require stockholder approval. In other words, he bears almost total responsibility for the scheme.

But, true to form, Trump is trying to duck any consequences for his actions. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported earlier this month that Trump left the TMTG board shortly before the subpoenas hit (the company claims this is "fake news" and that he's still chairman). Meanwhile, DWAC's stock price has nosedived (it's currently about $31.50), with Trump's investors — as usual — left holding the bag.

It's getting harder and harder to keep track of all the legal proceedings ensnarling the one-term loser. For example, have you heard about the trial coming up in February involving the defamation lawsuit by the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her? Didn't think so.

Due to this, the logo could turn out to be broken over time, as seen on the left picture from the Balenciaga Triple S fake VS real comparison that we provided. However, that is nothing to be afraid of and it does not show that the merchandise is faux. https://skel.io/balenciaga-replica.html When shopping for a knockoff designer, take a glance at each single side of the bag – the material, the inner lining, the location of the brand, the stitching, the zippers.

2,500-Year-Old Burial Mound Found in Siberia's 'Valley of the Kings'

50-year-old woman was buried with a unique "male" pendant.

Archaeologists have discovered a large burial mound in the Siberian "Valley of the Kings" dating to more than 2,500 years ago. The ancient tomb holds the remains of five people, including those of a woman and toddler who were buried with an array of grave goods, such as a crescent moon-shaped pendant, bronze mirror and gold earrings.

The mounds were made by the Scythians — a term used to describe culturally-related nomadic groups that lived on the steppes between the Black Sea and China from about 800 B.C. to about A.D. 300.

The burial mound, known as a kurgan, is located near a previously excavated kurgan belonging to a Scythian chief. Given the proximity of the woman's burial mound to the chief's — only 656 feet (200 meters) away — and the valuable artifacts buried with her, "I think that she was a person of great importance in the society of nomads," said Łukasz Oleszczak, an archaeologist at the Institute of Archaeology at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, who led the Polish team, which worked alongside Russian archaeologists at the site.

The crescent pendant stood out immediately, he added. "She was buried with this artifact that we had believed to be a sign of male burials," because similarly shaped pendants had previously been found in men's burials in kurgans in southern Siberia, Oleszczak said.

Archaeologists have known about the "Valley of the Kings" (a phrase coined by a journalist years ago, harkening Ancient Egypt's Valley of the Kings) for more than a century. This vast valley, known as Touran-Uyuk in Tuva, a Russian republic, is replete with numerous Scythian royal burials.

One of the previously excavated kurgans, dating to the eighth or ninth century B.C., holds the earliest known elite Sythian burial ever found. Most of these kurgans, however, have yet to be formally excavated, Oleszczak said.

At the invitation of Russian archaeologists, Oleszczak and his team conducted excavations in the valley during the 2019 and 2021 field seasons. The kurgan, detected by aerial laser scanning, is about 82 feet (25 m) in diameter and has a destroyed, flattened center, according to Science in Poland, a news site coordinated by the Polish government and independent journalists. The kurgan is relatively short today — just 12 inches (30 centimeters) high, Oleszczak added.

During excavations, the archaeologists found the burials of five people. In one chamber, at the center of the kurgan, the researchers found a looted burial chamber with weapons, including arrows, suggesting that a warrior had been buried there. The team found the remains of the woman and child in an unlooted wooden burial chamber with three layers of beams. The sheer amount of wood was likely a symbol of wealth, as "there are not many trees in that area," Oleszczak said. "Wood is quite valuable."

According to an anatomical analysis, the woman died at about age 50, and the child was 2 to 3 years old. Along with the crescent pendant, the woman was buried with a number of other grave goods, including gold ornaments near her head that were possibly part of a hat, an iron knife and an engraved wooden comb tied with a leather loop to a bronze mirror. This comb-mirror duo had been placed in a leather bag. It's not yet clear how the woman and toddler died, Oleszczak added.

Another burial in the kurgan held the remains of a young male warrior buried with weapons, including a knife, a whetstone and gold ornaments. The fifth burial was found in a pit on the kurgan's outskirts. This grave held the remains of a teenager. "Graves of children on the perimeter or just outside the ditch surrounding the barrow are a typical part of the funeral rites of this early Scythian culture," Oleszczak told Science in Poland.

Using a metal detector, the archaeologists discovered evidence of bronze objects that were left around the kurgan's perimeter, including dozens of horse-riding equipment pieces, a bronze ax and a goat-shaped ornament. These objects likely became scattered due to deep plowing from a farm collective that existed in the area in the 20th century.

Sleepover Shenanigans

Based off of this prompt here and a sequel to this fic here

Merry Christmas from New Zealand guys!! I'll probably make an actual post to mark off the end of 2021, but for now have this little note saying Thank You for supporting me this past year! <3 I probably won't be able to write for a little bit due to my job needing me for some extra shifts, so I hope you guys enjoy this one :D

Word Count: 4,171

Warnings: None

This is a SFW tickle fic, if you don’t like that then don’t read :)

Tommy crammed stuff into a rucksack, mumbling a list to himself as he packed. It was late Friday afternoon, the agreed upon date for his sleepover with the Dream Team. The note was tucked away in one of his chests, the promise of a giggle filled punishment lingering in his mind motivated him to not be late.

He shoved a hoodie into the bag then closed it, casting a quick look around the room for anything he may have missed. Nothing caught his eye so he shrugged on the rucksack and opened the door of his little hillside home. The day was fading to dusk quickly, the hisses and groans of mobs starting to sound out from the distance. Tommy’s sword weighed on his hip as he walked across the Prime Path, the glow of torches lighting his way along the wooden planks.

He was approaching the edge of the town when a sweet, sugary scent caught his nose and made him turn his head. A small building was tucked away between the tall structures, the lights were on and an inviting smell carried through the open windows. Tommy flicked his eyes to the horizon, the sun was setting rapidly but surely he could indulge his curiosity (and sweet tooth) for a few minutes, right?

Tommy quickly stepped off the path, approaching the glowing building with a quick pace. He wasn’t really in the mood to be attacked by a zombie or a skeleton. He reached the window and glanced inside. What met his gaze made his eyes widen.

An assortment of breads and cookies lay on cooling racks, letting off wisps of steam and smelling amazing. Tommy was caught up in the sight of the baking, he didn't notice the person inside the house come into the kitchen.

“Tommy?”

The soft, but confused voice made Tommy yelp, stumbling away from the window and tumbling the grass in a heap. Niki’s head popped out of the window, eyes wide and concerned as she looked down at the boy.

“Oh gosh, are you okay?” She asked, “I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Tommy quickly sat up, brushing dirt off of his clothes as he flashed her a grin. “No! No, no, you didn’t scare me Niki, I’m a big man! Big men don’t get scared! I just…you caught me off guard is all.”

An amused twinkle sparkled in Niki’s eyes as she leaned against the window sill with an arched brow. “Uh huuuh” she dragged out her words with a smile, “so what were you doing at my window Tommy?”

Tommy rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, stumbling for a response when an arrow whizzed past his shoulder and lodged itself into Niki’s wall. Tommy would deny to his grave that he screamed like a baby.

Niki was gone from the window and slammed the door open, shield up as she ran to Tommy and yanked him up by his arm. “Inside, inside now,” she urged, half shoving Tommy to the door to her house and blocking another skeleton’s arrow that shot towards them.

The door banged shut behind Niki. Tommy stood in the middle of the room as the woman sighed heavily, taking the shield off her arm and propping it against her wall. “Too close” she looked at the blonde, cracking a smile before she walked over and hugged him.

Tommy startled a bit at the sudden contact before melting into the embrace, dropping his head onto Niki’s and chuckling a little. “A bit, sorry.”

Niki squeezed him then let him go. “It’s alright, just be careful alright? You get hurt enough as it is.” Her eyes flicked over the plasters and bandages on Tommy’s skin making the boy tuck his arms behind his back with a shy grin.

“The world has tried throwing whatever it can at me, but I’m still here!”

“Thank god for that” Niki got on her tiptoes to ruffle his hair, and no, Tommy did not lean down to make it easier for her, shut up. “It would get boring without you.”

Tommy ignored how his cheeks warmed at her words, his brain immediately scrambling for a topic change. “U-Um, were you baking earlier? Is that why there’s bread and shit on the counter? It looked good.”

Niki caught sight of his pink cheeks and had to bite back an adoring coo, knowing Tommy would protest loudly. “Yeah! Though I hope there’s no shit on my counter, that would ruin the baking entirely.” She walked through the doorway to her kitchen, Tommy following behind her.

“Really? I think shit is quite delectable Niki, and mud! Have you ever tried making mud pies? Or mud cakes? I used to make them all the time for Wilbur when I was younger and he loved them! Maybe you should make some mud pies” Tommy rambled, bouncing on his toes as he talked.

Niki laughed, the idea of Wilbur eating Tommy’s ‘cooking’ as a child was a story she had to get from the older man. “I’ll add it to my list of recipes,” she replied, thinking of the chocolate mud cake Puffy made her for her birthday. She'd been meaning to ask the Captain to show her how to make it. “Maybe I’ll even get you to help me one day.”

Tommy’s eyes shone as a wide smile took over his face. “Really?” He asked excitedly. “You’d show me how to bake?”

Niki softened at the child-like joy that was radiating off the blonde teen. “Of course Toms,” she smiled, “I’d love to.”

Tommy whooped, “Poggers!” he exclaimed. Then he caught sight of the baked goods on the counter again. “Oh Prime, those look even better up close.”

Niki giggled, opening a chest to pull out a container. “Would you like some of the cookies? I made a few batches to give to people around the server.”

“Shit, really? That would be amazing Niki! I’m going over to Dream’s tonight and-” Tommy froze, eyes snapping to the window where the sun was just peeking out behind the mountains. “Crap!” He yelped.

Niki jolted at the sudden mood shift, the joy in Tommy’s eyes being replaced by alarm. “What? What’s wrong?” She asked worriedly.

“I gotta be there by sundown, Sapnap made me promise to be there by sundown, Niki I gotta go now or they’re gonna get me again!”

“G-Get you again? What do you mean?”

Tommy bit his lip, cheeks going a bit pink as he stammered. “N-No time to explain, I’m sorry Niki, I gotta go now.”

“Okay, okay then” Niki quickly placed some of her cookies - chocolate chip bless her - inside the container, locking on the top and passing it to Tommy. “It’s nothing bad right? They’re not gonna hurt you or something?”

Tommy shook his head, moving for the door. “No, in fact I fear for anyone who would hurt me cause the Dream Team would fuck their shit up.”

Niki laughed softly. “Not gonna disagree with you there, those three are formidable.” She picked up her shield again and pushed it into Tommy’s spare hand. “Take that with you.”

“Oh uh- are you sure?”

“If you get hurt on the way to Dream’s, I’d never forgive myself. I’m sure about this, take it” Niki insisted.

Tommy blinked then smiled. He placed the cookies in the rucksack then strapped the shield to his arm. “Thanks Niki, I’ll bring it back tomorrow.”

Niki huffed a laugh. “No need, I’ve got another one somewhere.” She gently pushed him out the door, “Now go, I’d hate to be the reason the boys… ‘got you’ or something.”

The reminder of the looming danger made Tommy’s eyes widen. “Right yeah, thanks again Niki, for the cookies and shield.”

Niki waved him off with a soft laugh. “Anytime Toms, now get outta here.”

Tommy grinned, waving before breaking into a sprint back to the lit path. A few zombies growled at him, there were hisses from Creepers and he heard the enraged chitters of a spider, but he evaded them like a champion. Well, aside from a few arrows that managed to lodge into the shield, thank god for Niki.

Tommy managed to get to the Dream Team’s house in record time, the sun had been set for a while but Tommy was stubbornly refusing to accept that. He skidded to a halt outside the trio's house, banging on the door with a nervous glance over his shoulder at the approaching mobs.

“OI! BITCHES! LET ME IN!” He yelled.

There were pounding footsteps, a crash, a muffled curse then the door swung open. George stood at the entrance, eyes wide as he took in Tommy’s warm face and puffing breaths. His gaze snapped up to the small gathering of creatures approaching the house and he growled out another curse, grabbed Tommy’s shoulder, and yanked him into the house. The door slammed behind the pair. Tommy was fighting to regain control of his breathing as George took the shield from his arm.

“What happened Tommy? We asked you to get here before sundown so you wouldn’t be attacked by any mobs,” George huffed, fussing with Tommy’s wild hair from running.

“I got held up,” Tommy protested, half heartedly trying to evade George’s hands.

“And you got hurt, bud.” Gentle fingers tilted Tommy’s chin up, George’s heterochromia eyes analysed the small scrapes on Tommy’s cheek from running into a tree branch.

“I’m fine,” Tommy whined, but he couldn’t deny it felt really nice to be cared about.

“Yeah yeah, sure kid.” George looked him over for anything else, tilting his head around until Tommy pushed away his hands with a shy grin.

“George, I’m okay really,” he promised, “chill alright? It’s not like a spider actually managed to rip my throat out.”

George’s eyes narrowed, a protective glint flashing in the blue and brown pupils. “A spider almost ripped your throat out?”

“No! I said it didn’t manage to!” Tommy rushed to defend himself, “cause I’m too fast and cool and pog for a spider to dare-”

George yanked him into a firm hug. Tommy blinked in confusion as George sighed heavily. “You’re gonna give me grey hairs, you gremlin child,” he muttered, “please stop being so reckless.”

Tommy rolled his eyes, hugging back. “Can’t promise anything Gogy.”

“GEORGE! WHERE IS OUR BOY AT?! YOU BETTER NOT BE HOGGING HIM!”

Tommy giggled at Sapnap’s yell through the house. “God, I forgot how possessive you guys are.”

“Shut up, we have a right to be possessive of you.”

“Wilbur ain’t gonna like that.”

“He doesn't have to know.”

Tommy laughed again, pulling away from George. “That sounds like a threat.”

George chuckled, ruffling his hair and taking Tommy’s bag off his back. “Take it any way you want.” He held Tommy’s wrist, gently pulling him towards the living room. “Now come on, there’s two other possessive idiots who will want their Tommy Hugs.”

True to his word, the second Tommy walked into the room, there was a frantic scuffle and a pained yell before Tommy was swept up into strong arms.

“WHA- Dream?!” Tommy yelped, laughter at the edge of his voice.

Sapnap was face down on the floor. Ah, well that explained the noise he heard. Sapnap snapped his head up, something feral in his eyes. “Dream! Put him down! I said I was gonna hug him first!”

Dream sounded incredibly smug as he held Tommy firmer to him. “Snooze you lose Sapnap! I got to him first!”

Tommy shrieked as Dream suddenly ran, being chased by Sapnap who was laughing almost manically. George only rolled his eyes, putting Tommy’s bag out of the way of danger.

“Dreheam put me dohown!” Tommy laughed, holding onto Dream’s shoulders as he sprinted around the room.

“Nope! You’re my prisoner now!” Dream cackled.

“Dreheheam!”

“Dream you’re gonna drop him!” Sapnap yelled with a wide grin, rounding the table the hoodie clad man was doing laps of.

“No I won’t! I got him! Right Toms? I got chu! You’re the king of the server up there!”

Tommy couldn’t help the childish giggles spilling from his lips. “King huh? I ohown the seherver nohow big mahan?”

Dream skidded around the couch with a noise of contemplation. “Weeeell…”

“Took too long to answer! Sapnap! Catch me!”

In a very raccoon fashion, Tommy wriggled out of Dream’s hold and leapt straight for the shorter man, Sapnap just managing to wrap his arms around Tommy before he could hit the ground. Dream gasped, swinging around in alarm only to see Tommy giggling wildly in his best friend’s arms, and the man in question was grinning something feral.

“I got the golden boy!” Sapnap whooped then bolted.

“Sapnap! Give me back my boy!”

“Gotta catch me first, motherfucker!”

“Guys, please don’t break Tommy, or the lights-”

“Shut up George! Sapnap just challenged god!”

“You’re not god Dream, you’re a basic bitch!”

“Yeah Tommy! You get his ass!”

The chase persisted for far longer than Tommy would’ve thought, being taken or willingly throwing himself to someone to keep the game going. Even George got roped in when Tommy yelled at him to save him. The man may have been a smaller build, but god, he was a fast bugger. Tommy’s respect for George soared, and his fear of Dream and Sapnap’s competitiveness skyrocketed.

Eventually, they agreed on a truce. The trio out of breath from running and Tommy out of breath from laughing so goddamn hard at being a human rugby ball. The mattresses had been pulled out again, taking up the living room floor space. The four boys collapsed on top of them, snacks and drinks close by and blankets thrown haphazardly in an organised mess.

It was perfect.

Tommy was sitting between Dream and George, Sapnap sitting behind him and braiding the ends of his hair that had been growing out a bit. George had gotten out a med kit despite Tommy’s protest of, “it’s just a scratch from a tree, George! It’ll heal in a few days!” George was annoyingly stubborn when he wanted to be. Dream was tutting at the state of his clothes, “Tommy, there’s dirt on your shirt! Do you want to wear one of my hoodies instead? Actually no, wear one of my hoodies, I’ll put this in the wash.”

Tommy could not say no to these menaces to society, though he did try.

Now here he was, braids in his hair, a plaster on his cheek, wearing an oversized hoodie in a warm living room with three of the biggest mother hens in the whole server.

Speaking of which…

“Why were you late Tommy?” Sapnap asked, wrapping his arms around Tommy’s middle and setting his chin on the top of his head. Tommy easily melted into him, Sapnap was comfortable okay?

Tommy hummed. “Got distracted.”

“By?” George pressed gently.

“Niki was baking, she gave me some of her cookies- Dream, my rucksack, they’re in there.”

Dream tipped backwards and dragged Tommy’s bag over, opening the top to reveal the container of cookies in all their glory.

“Oh hell yeah! Chocolate chip!” He cheered, opening the box up and offering them to his friends.

“Niki is a god send,” Sapnap happily said around a decent chunk of cookie.

“She really is,” George broke pieces off his own, nibbling on them.

“We love our badass baker,” Dream shoved the whole cookie straight into his mouth.

“Agreed,” Tommy grinned, biting off the edge of his and chewing blissfully. “Also Dream you’re a heathen.”

Dream swallowed his mouthful of the baked good, glaring playfully. “Fuck off, I like cookies, let me eat them how I want.”

Tommy giggled, holding his hands up in surrender as he bit into his cookie again. Dream watched him for a moment then flicked his gaze to his best friends. They met his eyes and after a moment of talking with their eyes, they both gave a single nod, a playful glint re-lighting in their irises.

“Tommy?”

Tommy paused in chewing. He lifted his gaze to Dream who was watching him with a small smirk.

“Uhhh…yeah?”

Dream cocked his head to the side. “You remember what we told you earlier this week, right?”

Tommy winced, a nervous smile already working onto his face as he leaned into Sapnap. “U-Um...jog my memory big man?” He asked, knowing damn well what Dream was talking about.

Dream hummed. “There was just a small, itty bitty thing we said that if you didn’t show up on time, you’d get tickled, you remember don't you?”

Tommy’s cheeks went pink. “R-Right, but I’m here now, so-"

“True, but Sapnap got you to agree to be here before sundown.”

Tommy opened his mouth to argue when Sapnap’s arms squeezed him a little, making him flick his eyes up to the man with the headband.

“We agreed Tommy,” he grinned, revealing his fangs.

Tommy shied away, a nervous giggle slipping out of his mouth against his will. “S-Sap-”

“Toms~” Sapnap replied then lifted his gaze to his best friends. “Boys, get him.”

Tommy’s legs shot up, a shriek ripping from his mouth as he tried to protect his sensitive areas. George and Dream practically launched themselves at him, grabbing his knees and pushing his kicking legs to the floor.

“LEHehehemme gohoho! N-Nohoho Dreheheam! Dreheheam!” Tommy yelped through anticipating giggles, scrabbling at Sapnap’s arms that were once a comfortable hold to a prison.

Dream had seized his ankle, squeezing up and down his calves and knees quickly, giggling evilly at Tommy’s squeaks. “We did warn you bud, can’t say we didn’t,” he hummed, kneading the boy’s lower leg quickly and smirking when the limb kicked out.

“Hmm, how long should we go for guys? Five minutes? Ten?” George hummed, keeping Tommy’s opposite leg down and vibrating his fingers into the boy’s upper thigh that made the teen squeal.

“I was thinking closer to fifteen actually,” Sapnap hummed, occasionally prodding Tommy’s soft sides to make the boy jolt away from the touch, yelps breaking through the tumbling giggles.

“NohOHOhohoho! Nonononono- AHAhehehe! Geohohorge fohohor fuhuhucks sahahahake stohohop wihihith- SAHAHAP!”

Tommy arched, crashing down in fits of wild giggles, making Dream and George coo adoringly at his bubbly laughter.

“We gotta fix your language bud,” Sapnap hummed offhandedly, a hand scratching at Tommy’s belly. “Your British upbringing has made your mouth fouler than a sailors.”

“Watch it Sapnap, I’m British too.”

“You’re babey Gogy.”

“Watch it.”

Dream chuckled at his friend’s antics, lifting Tommy’s ankle more to wiggle his nails underneath Tommy’s knee, grinning when the boy tossed his head back in laughter.

“Five more minutes,” he said simply, “that way we don’t overwhelm him and it’s ample time to teach Tommy a lesson…that okay with you Toms?”

Tommy squirmed with a giggly whine, sparkling eyes squinting at Dream and a pink flush on his cheeks. “...Y-Yehehehah, ihit’s fihihine,” he giggled, covering his face with a grumble when the trio aww’d loudly. “Shuhuhuhut uhup-”

“No way! You’re so flippin’ cute Toms!” Dream chuckled, “such a skrunkly little giggle machine.”

“Bet I can make him squeal first” George challenged, scribbling into Tommy’s hip without warning, grinning as Tommy gasped, breaking into shrieky laughter.

“GEHEhehehohorge!” He protested, trying to wrench his leg free of George’s grip to no avail.

“Oh yeah? I’ll take that bet, what’s on the table?” Dream asked, pinching along the muscle above Tommy’s knee, keeping a firm hold of the flailing limb.

George hummed, squeezing sporadically at Tommy’s hip bones. “Diamonds.”

“Come on George, you can do better than that,” Dream scoffed, raking his nails up and down Tommy’s calves, smirking when Tommy gasped out frantic protests.

George rolled his eyes, poking along Tommy’s thigh down to his knees, squeezing the cap quickly. Tommy arched again, kicking wildly as he hiccupped in laughter. “G-Guhuhuys! Nohohot bohohoth ohohof yohohou! Cohohohome ohohon!”

Dream, who had been scribbling across Tommy’s knee, noticed where Goerge was suddenly targeting. “Oi, shove off, I claimed this as my spot” Dream snorted, gently shoving George’s hand away.

“Clearly not doing a good enough job seeing as I’m making him hiccup more.”

“Yeah right-”

“Boys,” Sapnap huffed, making them turn to their friend. “The competition was to see who could make our favourite sunshine child squeal right? Winner gets to be off of dinner clean up for two nights, agreed?”

Dream and George shared a look then nodded.

“Alright.”

“Seems fair.”

Sapnap smirked. “Good,” he said, then promptly dropped his head and blew a fast raspberry into Tommy’s neck, hands prodding at his ribs quickly.

Tommy immediately squealed, loudly, squirming away from the vibrating sensations plaguing him. “NOHOHOhohohoho! SahAHAhahahap!”

Dream and George groaned in disappointment.

“Two nights off for me boys!” Sapnap grinned, blowing another raspberry into Tommy’s neck, shaking his head quickly to spread the sensations.

Tommy’s shoulders came up to try and push Sapnap out, but the man simply scribbled at his upper ribs, forcing him to slam them back down at the attack on the sensitive area.

“You bloody knew he’d squeal didn’t you?” George huffed, “so unfair Sapnap.”

“Surprised you didn’t remember from last time” Sapnap shrugged, vibrating his fingers into the spaces between Tommy’s ribs, the boy trying to clamp his arms down on his hands as he laughed like a madman.

“Bite me” Dream rolled his eyes, his competitiveness surging without warning.

Sapnap raised a brow with a smirk. “Only if you want me to Dreamie~”

“Guys, no flirting in front of Tommy” George grumbled light-heartedly, clawing at Tommy's inner thigh.

Tommy actually did manage to wrench his leg free from George's grip at that, shrieking as he stomped the ground, trying to twist away from the man's evil fingers.

"THAHahat's sohOHOHo baHAHAHAd Geoho- GEOHOHORGE!" Tommy screeched, pressing himself as close to Sapnap as he could and attempting to kick the man away.

It was proven unsuccessful however when George immediately snagged his ankle, pinning it to the floor again and chuckling. "Damn, wiggly thing, aren't you? Just about took out my teeth" he snorted.

Dream however, was grinning widely. "Inner thighs are another weak point aye? Good to know~"

Tommy's eyes widened, managing to yelp a single noise before his words were lost in nonsensical babbles, laughter taking over his voice. Dream and George tag teamed on targeting his thighs, Sapnap occasionally blowing small raspberries into his neck.

Five minutes had definitely passed but Tommy hadn't called it to stop just yet. So what if he liked laughing? He was raised in a household full of tickle monsters, he had stamina for this kind of thing.

However, the Dream Team backed off after a while, not wanting to overwhelm the boy. They rubbed Tommy's skin free of the buzzing sensations, watching fondly as he calmed down. Tommy slumped back into Sapnap, giggling quietly.

"You alright Sundrop?" Sapnap rumbled into his hair, letting his demonic instincts sink in a bit.

Tommy nodded with a smile, accepting the glass bottle of water George passed him. "Y-Yeheah, ihit felt good to lahaugh lihike that again."

Dream settled on leaning against the couch, making grabby hands for Tommy's hand which he let him take. "Yeah?" Dream asked, gently tracing shapes and lines into his palm. "Do you want us to keep going Bud? But with like, softer tickles?"

Tommy hesitated for a moment then nodded with a warm smile, already melting under the affection Dream was giving. George leaned against Sapnap's shoulder, yawning despite it only being an hour after sunset.

"You really are too adorable for you're own good Toms," George said, dropping his hand to trace a finger featherlight over Tommy's wrist, making small circles every once in a while.

Sapnap rumbled again in agreement, letting his fingers run over Tommy's clothed stomach gently. "It's nice to have you here again, you know that Sundrop?" He smiled. "We should do this more often."

Tommy cracked a shy grin, lifting his head up a bit to nudge against Sapnap's chin. "I'd...I'd like that actually."

Dream clicked his fingers. "Done," he stated.

Tommy blinked at him, turning his gaze to George who was smiling at him fondly. "Just like that?" He asked in disbelief.

"Just like that," George nodded, "you're part of the family Toms, you're welcome here anytime you want."

Tommy stared at him for another moment then practically melted into a puddle. "You've made a grave mistake with that."

"Bullshit," Sapnap mumbled into his hair, arms wrapping firmer around his boy.

"Bullshit," Dream repeated, following one of the lines going through Tommy's palm with vivid concentration.

"Bullshit," George copied, briefly wiggling his nails against Tommy's wrist to make him giggle again.

Tommy's smile was soft and warm as he fell asleep that night. He was under the protection of three of the most terrifying forces on the server. Anyone who wanted to hurt Tommy would certainly face a punishment worse than death.

The trio had accepted Tommy into their family, and they intended to protect their little brother from anything that could hurt him.

Jade. The fate of female character in Mortal Kombat

It’s been a while since I posted anything on my blog cause I’ve been busy with my life and rapid changes in it. During this time, I’ve watched the new 2021 Mortal Kombat movie as well as the new animation Battle of the realms and also rewatched the Story Mode of MK11 a few times. As you probably can tell, I have a lot to say.

JADE. MILEENA. KITANA. SONYA.

Skip this if you don’t want to read my very important (and long as sh*t) rant about female characters in MK.

DISCLAIMER. This thing is going to sound extremely feminist and women-supremacist or whatever. By saying things that I’m going to say, I by no means think that male characters should be weak or lacking. If anything, it would be nice to have some godforsaken EQUALITY. I’ll explain further later.

Part One: Mortal Kombat (2021)

There’s no Jade in this movie. 

The end. That should be the sole reason I dislike it.

However, it might be better this way since the Nitara and Mileena portrayals in this movie are... questionable to say the least. Okay, y’all been robbed. If MY JADE would be brought into this movie to BE THERE for like 4 minutes of screen time only to get absolutely brutal FATALITY I. would. be. pissed.

More than I already am and that means something.

Sure, there’s a possibility that she’s going to be present in some of the upcoming movies because this one is definitely not the only one they’re going to make. But do I want that? Yes. And no.

Mortal Kombat movies (and Mortal Kombat in general) have a problem with women portrayal in general. The target audience for them are MEN, potentially heterosexual men, who want nothing more than bloody gorey fighting scenes with occasional sex scene here and there. To achieve that, they need a female lead, an attractive, kinda kick-assish but not too much, to not overshadow the absolutely badass men characters. Girls tend to be “independent” (because God forbid they’d want to express interest in the male leads before the time is right), sarcastic, laid back and sometimes even bitchy. Because, you see, they are fighters. And they are Sonya Blade. They need NO MAN. They just need plot armor, bigger than America itself. And if they’re not Sonya Blade, they are... non existent. They are there, but they are never really there. Here, let me walk on screen for a couple seconds. Let me sit beside Very Important Male Character (aka Shang Tsung) for a couple of seconds, looking absolutely gorgeous. Let me have a fight scene in which I make choices so f*cking stupid there’s no potential explanation to it. I exist in this movie to make people that love me (this character) to come into theatres in hopes to see some good action and interesting plot.

Now, I wasn’t born yesterday, I know how the world works. It’S bEeN LiKe ThAt FoReVeR, gEt OvEr here iT. Yeah, it’s been like that forever and the result is a mediocre movie that pleases neither the casual viewer, nor the actual Mortal Kombat fan. I don’t know, there might be guys who just saw Kung Lao’s fatality on Nitara, thought to themselves “Neat” and went on with their lives. But I exited the cinema with a sour taste in my mouth, feeling like I’ve watched one of the “fighting genre” films based on video games that had nothing worth remembering. Well, besides Kano. He was my favourite part of this movie and I  normally can’t stand the guy :’D

Would it really help if they changed the way the women were portrayed? I mean - is that the ACTUAL problem of the movie? No, women being the eye candy and barely something else (if they’re not Sonya Blade) are not the only problem it suffers from. It’s that MK has been going the same route, retelling the same goddamn story for the millionth time. It’s always THE SAME. The only thing changing is who’s gonna get brutally killed. But - of course - out of the “disposable” character pool. It’s never Sonya (because you need our female lead or else there would be no female characters in the story), who ya know could be killed by Mileena but magically WASN’T. Because Mileena FOR SOME REASON was like: Ya know what? Naaah. Even though Sonya’s from Earthrealm and is actively trying to stop you. If anything, kill her because she annoys you. BUT NAH. It’s never Liu Kang because he’s the Chosen One. But killing Kung Lao is fine, he can die so Liu can awaken or smth. It’s not the main character because how else can you portray THE MAGIC OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP? Ya, that’s what I thought, don’t even think about it.

You have an amazing universe, filled to the brim with SO. MUCH. POTENTIAL. Let go of the same boring plot line and show us Kombat from another perspective. Change something. F*ck, go all feminist route and make a story center around Mileena dominating the world. Try with different versions of the same story, making it center around different character each time. 

SURE, YOU’LL PROBABLY LOSE SOME VIEWERS BUT TIMES ARE CHANGING, AND MOST OF US ARE TIRED TO PAY FOR THE SAME STORY OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Part Two: Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms

Jesus f*cking Christ.

To say this film was rushed is an understatement. While I was watching it, I was like: TF? Everything happens all at once, we have Kuai Liang-Scorpion story line, we have Outworld’s attack, the tournament, not to mention the final fight that should be whole another movie. I felt like no story line was properly laid out, some of the characters died before I got to even know them and the battles were... disappointing. I believe they needed to push this movie out so they squished in everything they had and just went with it. 

But, again, this movie just repeats the same things as its live action version. Let me lay it down for you:

Kung Lao dies (because yes)

Sonya Blade lives (because yes)

Jade is just there (more of it later)

disposable characters are disposed of

Liu Kang is badass and always wins

You watch it and feel like you’ve already seen it before. Sure, gore is fine, human Raiden is precious and need to be protected at all costs and adrenaline is pumping (I guess).

BUT NOW.

You know what’s coming.

JADE.

JADE.

My f*cking piece of sunshine, the gorgeous goddess of beauty and kombat, the woman who owns my heart.

She’s there for like not even a minute.

Words can’t describe how f*cking PISSED I am by this portrayal. These motherfrickers put her in EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE SNIPPET OF THIS MOVIE. HER BATTLE WAS IN THE TRAILER, ONE OF THE SNEAK PEEKS WAS A SCENE OF HER AND KITANA.

TURNS OUT EVERYTHING I SAW BEFORE THE MOVIE WAS RELEASED... WAS EVERYTHING I WAS ABOUT TO SEE OF HER!!!!

THEY MADE ME HYPED UP FOR NOTHING!!!!!!

I know I’m not the only one riding this trolley. Li Mei was there just to be killed. Kung Lao had a f*cking single dialogue line and then BAM, fatality, buh-bye. But I was watching everything of this movie, being so enormously happy that I will finally see Jade in the movies, FINALLY! Only for her to be present in a single scene, get her ass kicked by Liu Kang (what’s new) and then she’s never seen again, even when the whole f*cking world is breaking apart.

Again. She’s just there. Ladies and gentlemen, one of the best Shao Kahn’s assassins, gets her ass kicked in fourty seconds. They NEVER let her speak ffs. She just spews some general villanous sh*t and proceeds to step on Johnny. Then, she just goes Observer mode as Kitana “betrays” Shao Kahn, gets tied to the column and then the world is ending. 

WHERE THE F*CK IS SHE?!

If you hype me up for her every chance you get, at least GIVE ME what you’re advertising. This is a scam. This is criminal offense. And homophobic. She is more than a revealing outfit and Liu Kang’s punching bag. I’m SO. F*CKING. TIRED. OF THIS. SH*T.

Kitana. The rebellious princess of Outworld... turned damsel in distress in this movie. Her role is so effing bad it hurts me to my core. You see her as a general being so badass and independent... oh right, we need Liu Kang to save her because he needs to maintain his hero look. And we need two kissing scenes. How do we get there? Oh, right, let him save her, because you know - that’s what makes wahmen kiss you. 

ARE YOU NUTS?!

The movie started just fine, with Kitana being in charge with her right hand, Jade. Then, obviously, they water her down and soon she is a princess in a tower (in this case, princess on a column) that needs her buffy sexy man to save her. Oh, and she can’t resist him - you know, every normal girl’s reaction to getting untied is to kiss a guy you’ve known for like a few hours but seen before and you’ve talked like three dialogue lines in total. Sure.

Kitana just gets the unfortunate role of a female main character. She’s Liu’s love interest and that makes her take the role of a strong (but surface level, only) woman who still needs her hero to free her. Classic damsel in distress story, with Kitana being the princess, Liu being the Prince charming and Shao Kahn as the dragon (lul). Of course, they try to cover this up by making Kitana a general, letting her win a few fights but it won’t matter in the end. Some say that women want to believe in fairy tales but the more I see fighting games’ lore, the more I say it’s the men who want to believe them. 

Is it necessarily bad? No. But it’s boring as fuk.

I would like to ask the directors to stop being so afraid of upsetting the target audience. Target audience can change and sometimes it comes out better than originally planned. My Little Pony was designed as a child’s cartoon but it was the creepy men who made it reach the top. Morally? Questionable at best. But business is booming, right? And that’s what they care for, right?

All I’m trying to say is these days women and gays are the future.

Thank you for today, more to come. I’m going to rant about the Story Mode.

Sealab 2021 #22: “Vacation” | June 2, 2003 - 12:30 AM | S03E02

Ladies and gentlemen, we have “uh oh”, indeed!

If you’ve seen every episode of Sealab, I can use a keen shorthand with you and say “this is the uh-oh one”. But I’ll entertain the idea that not only are people who AREN’T my friends reading this, but there may be people who have never seen this episode before reading this. So, I’ll elaborate. This episode is about Dr. Quinn going on vacation. Murphy doesn’t wanna learn how to run things, so he snakes Quinn’s vaycay by commanding that there will be no trips to the surface until further notice. Quinn is determined to go on vacation anyway while grounded at Sealab. Then, about a quarter into the show’s running time it becomes “the uh-oh episode”.

So it goes like this, Marco and Debbie are outside Quinn’s door with covered dishes. Quinn won’t come to the door, and Marco and Debbie strike up a conversation in which Marco insists that Quinn is with a hooker. Debbie is appalled. We then cut to a long series of characters all going UH-OH! while a hip-hop beat plays in the background. This chain of uh-oh carries beyond Sealab, eventually reaching outer-space. Then they cut back to the door where the conversation progresses. Marco says a second thing that shock’s Debbie, and they do the uh-oh thing AGAIN. There are in fact three-rounds of “uh-oh” each one slightly building on the last round.

It seems like Sealab can’t go more than a couple weeks without doing some grand conceptual thing, which sorta cheapens the idea of doing a grand conceptual thing. Still there are some fun moments to be had in this, but it starts to wear out it’s welcome somewhere during the second round of uh-ohs. Also, being that this episode is comprised of new animation (some of it repurposed assets from previous episodes) it gets real ugly real fast. This episode could be something special if they had handed the uh-oh sequence to a guest animator. If it just segued into a new animation style and got even more crazy? You know? Hell, I said this for Tinfins, but this would be another really good candidate for one of those animation projects where different animators re-animate different sections of a previously-animated short or show. But since this episode, like the rest of them, is limited to it’s own awful style, the visuals don’t do the concept justice. Hell, during the third sequence there’s a part where a bear is snowboarding and I literally couldn’t believe how bad it looked. If this animation were in a video game I would be appalled. 

But the first round of uh-ohs is genuinely fun. I *sorta* like this one.

MAIL BAG

Here comes the mail. Anonymous pigs, all of them.

WHo are Tim and ERic?

They are a couple of gay guys who do comedy and they are married!!! :D And they said I was “funny enough to be (their) son” :D And folks, some days I seriously consider being their son. I love them

Were you ever inspired by the comedy of Seinfeld

I am pretty sure I already told this story but I did not get into Seinfeld until it’s like 7th season and then I watched it in syndication all the time. I never tried to write stand-up like him, but I did attempt to write an awful “spec script” for Seinfeld. I broke the story but I don’t think I ever finished the actual script. It had something to do with Jerry pretending to be a tough guy to impress a woman and Kramer had, unbeknownst to him, filled his apartment with cats to evade a building inspector’s scorn. So when Jerry brings the girl up, she thinks he’sa wimpy cat-lover. Sounds bad? It was! I was in high school! Gimme a break.
