yard work - chapter 14 (regina george x reader)

fandom: Mean Girls (all media)

pairing: Regina George x OFC/Reader

summary: You'd been in the same class as Regina George since kindergarten. You'd lived on the same street even longer. Once upon a time, when life was sandbox disputes and who got the swing first arguments, you'd even been friends. Now, in junior year of high school, you doubted she even remembered you. The same couldn't be said about you. You definitely remembered her.

chapter 1 / chapter 2 / chapter 3 / chapter 4 / chapter 5 / chapter 6 / chapter 7 / chapter 8 / chapter 9 / chapter 10 / chapter 11 / chapter 12 / chapter 13 / chapter 15

You told Mrs George (or was it Ms George now? Too soon?) that you'd drive yourself to the school. Under no circumstance did you want to sit in close quarters to Regina. Besides, you knew she'd have to be there significantly earlier because she was performing. If the thought of being near Regina made you uncomfortable, that of being in that building made your skin crawl.

Why you were even bothering to go was beyond you. You'd been made into a laughing stock, a subject for people to talk about and twist around for the rest of the break. There was no PR response you could concoct to fix this, because for one, there was no time, and secondly nobody would want to hear it.

Maybe this wouldn't ruin your entire fucking life. Maybe you'd get over it eventually. Maybe it would all turn out fine. But it didn't feel like that. You could understand Regina more now, could see more clearly what she'd been talking about when she went on that rant.

Thinking all your problems would dissolve once you were old enough was stupid. That could only be applied to something vain, like pimples and pit stains and body odour. But issues like Regina's, utter self-hatred weaponized against society and everybody around her, and yours, chronic doormat syndrome with a side of people pleaser, could not just resolve. One could not pray the gay away, could not sweep it all under the rug.

You looked at the chicken sandwich in your hand. Mrs George had made some for lunch earlier and you'd swung by after the grocery trip to get you one. Then, she'd driven back to yours, helped you pack it all away, and made a weekly meal plan with you while you ate. It'd been nice. And the chicken sandwich was divine.

Your tummy was already full, but you didn't want to stop eating. You almost never got to really stuff yourself. The feeling of it was luxurious, though painful.

You put off going for as long as you could. You left at just the last minute, cutting it dangerously close. Didn't bother changing your clothes or anything. A hoodie and jeans, your usual jacket and scarf. By the time you arrived on the scene, the parking lot was pretty much deserted. You hustled to the gym where the thing was set up and easily found Mrs George and Kylie.

"C'mon, it's- it's- it's almost starting!" Kylie hissed at you, patting the seat next to her.

"Okay okay!" You whisper shouted back, mustering a little excitement for the little girl's sake.

Most of the performances were utterly dull. To be fair, the talent show was also an opportunity to get extra credit for some classes. Several people from your Spanish class took the stage. There was poetry and a couple songs, all mediocre at best. A pair performed a salsa number, which was surprising on two accounts. One, they were both dudes and two, they were good.

After Damien's dramatic rendition of Christina Aguilera's Beautiful, it was time for The Plastics to take the stage. Karen, Gretchen, and Cady were slowly revealed by the curtain. Cady stood front and centre, Gretchen to her left and Karen to the right.

Unlike many of the other dance performances of the night, the highlight was certainly not the choreography. The wow factor was hinged on the simple fact that it was them, specifically these girls, in latex, borderline slutty Santa costumes doing a provocative dance. The audience was not thrilled, the adults' reactions ranging from mildly uncomfortable to downright scandalized, while the other high schoolers looked on in either lust or disappointment that the act was missing the thing that had made it interesting in the first place.

Regina George had been the main attraction. Without her, without her effortless stage presence making the dance seem interesting, it was actually pretty embarrassing.

You had to look away when they started doing stunts. Karen went to the floor on all fours crab walk style, while Gretchen positioned herself behind her, and Cady geared up to- you couldn't watch. Suddenly, the music cut out and a heavy thump accompanied by someone's breath wooshing out of their lungs echoed through the gymnasium.

Kylie covered her mouth in a valiant effort not to laugh. You bumped your shoulder into hers. She bumped back. Mrs George had gasped and almost surged out of her seat. A beat of silence. Then, like water rippling, laughter began to bubble out of people.

You still couldn't watch. You could hear heels clicking on stage, groaning, and some frantic whispering. Kylie had tears in her eyes and her whole body was shaking.

"What's happening?" You whispered to her.

"Cady... She... Belly flopped the stage." She managed to get out before bursting into giggles.

"What? Is she, like, okay?"

"She's getting up. The principle's getting on stage." Kylie reported while you kept your eyes firmly on your lap. "He's gonna say something, oh, Gretchen's taking the mic-"

You had to look up when you heard your full name being spoken into the microphone, but regretted it as soon as Gretchen finished the sentence:

"-is a lesbian!" Quiet. Again.

You looked down so fast your neck cracked. Through the tinnitus in your ears, you could vaguely hear the principal admonishing Gretchen, the murmurs in the hall, their heels clicking off stage.

Why was Gretchen of all people announcing your sexuality at the talent show? What did she have to do with any of this? Maybe Regina had put her up to it. It didn't seem planned, though. You thought that Regina and Gretchen weren't talking.

"What's a lesbian?" Kylie asked you, all innocence and wide eyes.

"Kylie, don't ask that, it's not appropriate." Mrs George said.

"Why? Is it a bad word?" She turned to her mother. You took deep breaths and clenched your fists. Unclench. Clench. Everything was going to be fine.

"No, but it's not good to accuse somebody like that." Mrs George tried to explain gently, but you could tell she was out of her depth.

"But what does it mean?"

"Kylie, I said don't-"

"It means a girl that likes girls." You cut in.

"Huh... So like how boys like girls, but a girl likes a girl?"

"Yeah."

"Oh. Okay."

You would've paid so much money for it to be that simple. Why you couldn't be afforded the benefit of the doubt that you weren't a pervert, riddled with disease, and out to get people? Why was it so unbelievable that you didn't want to change the world, you just wanted to get married someday? Why did kissing girls on the mouth make you a predator?

You suspected there were no real answers to those questions. Fear. Repression. The patriarchy. Religion. The wage gap. Whatever.

The show went on. You felt numb. Realistically, what could you even do? Stand up and shout that it wasn't true? That would only serve to put a name to a face. The next talents came and performed their mediocrity to the mildly interested crowd. There was a pretty good sleight-of-hand magician. Somebody had trained their cat to do tricks.

Eventually, it was Regina's turn to take the stage. You couldn't help but perk up when they announced her. Mrs George was out of her seat immediately, kneeling on the pathway to the stage with a video camera poised to film her daughter.

The curtains parted. She stood in the centre of the stage, mic stand in front of her. She smiled a little, eyes on her mom presumably.

Her hair was done in soft waves, framing her face so beautifully. Natural makeup kept light, a compromise between the bare face that you liked and the full beat she was into. She was wearing an old white tee shirt, the logo so faded you could barely make it out. That had been your shirt, you realized as you narrowed your eyes. You'd gotten it from summer camp, one that Regina hadn't been able to come with you to. After you came back she'd confiscated all the stuff you'd gotten there. Tee shirts, crafts projects, a whittled duck, braided cord. You'd always assumed she had thrown it all in the trash. On her wrist was a braided leather cord and a wood bead friendship bracelet. She had on Lee jeans that hugged her hips and thighs exquisitely. Those had been her mom's.

In her hands was the photo album. Everybody could read the front, Reggie & Jorts.

"Notice me... Take my hand..." She crooned into the mic as the soft melody of Briney Spears' Everytime began to play.

"Why are we strangers when our love is strong? Why carry on without me?"

You felt like you couldn't breathe.

"And every time I try to fly I fall without my wings," Her eyes scanned the crowd. You wondered if she was looking for you. "I feel so small, I guess I need you, baby,"

She found you. Your eyes met, hers clear and blue and somehow so sad, even as she glittered up on stage. Even with everybody's eyes on her, she was looking at you.

"And every time I see you in my dreams, I see your face," She sang so prettily, every note like a gentle caress, a soothing balm to your ears. You did so love to hear her sing.

"It's haunting me. I guess I need you, baby," Her eyes closed, like she couldn't focus on two things at once; looking at you and singing. She swayed gently with the rhythm, feeling the soft instrumental in her feet. Sneakers. Simple, white sneakers.

Her eyes opened again with the next lyrics. You tried not to overthink it, tried not to imagine things that weren't there, but maybe there was a glassiness to her eyes that hadn't been there before.

"I make-believe, that you are here. It's the only way that I see clear. What have I done? You seem to move on easy."

You swallowed, eyes closing. You weren't sure what to think. Was this her way of apologizing? Was she trying to make up for what'd been said? Hadn't she just earlier today made your life living hell?

You leaned your elbows onto your knees and cradled your face in your hands. What were you supposed to do now? She was singing to you. This was the ultimate show of sincerity, of vulnerability, but what were you meant to do with it all in your hands? Your chest tightened and your breaths shortened.

The song continued, you knew the lyrics by heart, but only once she sang the next part did you open your eyes again.

"I may have made it rain, please forgive me. My weakness caused you pain, and this song's my sorry,"

You understood. Cowardly as it may have been, Regina was apologizing to you. Though the references were obscure enough that most, if not all, people would not know who she was singing to, it was quite clear this was a song for somebody.

You rubbed at your throat. It felt constricted, like something was tightening around it.

You couldn't shake the feeling that it was too late. As much as you would've liked to weep in gratitude, be swept in the relief that she was taking you back, irreversible things had happened. None of this made sense. If she hadn't pulled the stunt today then who had? Had she told somebody? Had Janis told?

Regardless, you were an outcast. If not, then ridiculed. You were scared. You had become a target. You didn't think anybody at Northshore was capable of the atrocities you saw reported on the news, but nobody who'd become a victim did until it was too late.

As it was, it didn't matter whether or not you forgave Regina. It didn't matter if she forgave you.

"I guess I need you, baby," As the last line of the song carried throughout the gymnasium, and after the split second of stunned silence before people began cheering and clapping, you got up and left.

You'd smoke a cigarette and get out of here once and for all. Then, you'd drive home and call dad. You'd tell him everything, tell him you needed to switch schools and that you were gay and that you'd made a real mess of things.

You'd take what was given, reap what'd been sown, and forget all about this goddamned town.

Forget all about Regina George.

Notes: Took a bit longer with this one. Sorry for the suspense! Here, have some more unresolved stuff! Also, I fucking love that song by Britney Spears. I've known Regina was gonna sing it for J since pretty much the beginning and finally, she did.

Taglist will be posted separately. If you want to be added to the list, please comment on that post! Thank you!

Boy, I want your attention. (Bucky BarnesxReader!)

Summary: A meeting with the blue-eyed brunette takes you into an obsessive state where your only goal is to have his attention.

Warnings: 18+female masturbation, stalking, toxic, obsessive relationship, mention of psychological transport.

A/N:I've always read fanfics where Bucky was obsessed with the reader. Driven by curiosity, I wrote a version where the reader is obsessed with Bucky.

A/N: English is not my mother tongue. I apologize for any errors.

You know exactly when you fell in love with him; it was at one of the countless Avengers meetings, where Steve appeared accompanied by his grumpy friend Bucky Barnes. You were a little thing in the back of the room, just a viewer, a scientist who worked alongside Tony and Bruce in the laboratories developing technology. You weren't deadly and sexy like Natasha, Adorable and beautiful like Wanda, powerful and independent like Pepper. You were just You; a tiny thing with basic beauty hiding behind a big white coat.

In the beginning, you often bumped into him in the corridors with your good manners. You always said a loud good morning, but it was answered with a strange sound that came out of his mouth. It was stupid, you knew, but having that slight attention from him awakened a feeling in your heart that you had never experienced before. Every day you said good morning and were answered with grunts. Until, one winter morning, Bucky answered you in every syllable.

It was silly, but her heart leapt out of her chest at finally being noticed. From that day on, you established a strict routine to always have a good day. You woke up at four o'clock in the morning to get ready; she carried out a thorough skin cleansing, fixed her hair, shaved her arms and legs, put on makeup and chose beautiful clothes. You arrived at six on the dot, the time you would find him leaving the gym.

"Good morning." You said when you saw him walking down the hallway that morning. He was beautiful, perfect, in his natural element.

"Good morning." He replied.

You worked bouncing that morning having received his attention. The next morning you carried out the same process; waking up at four in the morning, a moment of beauty, going to work, receiving the much-loved good morning. The routine was slowly killing you, waking up so early wasn't doing you so much good and it was necessary to create an excuse for Bruce for you going to work so early.

“Your shift doesn’t start until 9am” Bruce said. “You don’t need to arrive 3 hours early.”

“It’s okay” You said. “I like to arrive early so I have time to be alone and get some things done.”

Bruce didn't seem to believe his excuses, but decided not to argue. You lived close to the tower so arriving so early sounded strange to the others, so to throw them off you created a version of yourself who was addicted to work. The first to arrive and the last to leave. Tony even congratulated you on your professional performance, your colleagues patted you on the back and Bruce exclaimed how useful you were. The routine was taking its toll on your health, but it was worth doing all this to get his attention.

Time passed and his recent compulsion only increased. You watched him and wished he was yours at the same time. You said “good morning” every morning when you really wanted to say how much you were in love with him, You wanted to be his, You wanted to be his girl. You committed yourself to discovering his routine in the hope of having more dates with Bruce's help, it wasn't difficult.

“So…” You started to speak while leaning on an analysis counter. “...Is the Winter Soldier really adapting?”

Bruce typed on the computer and stared at the screen.

“It's been difficult for him, but everyone is helping. He knows how to adapt back to society.”

It was a gift that Bruce was a man so out of touch with real life. It was almost a sin how easy it was to get little bits of information out of him.

“It must be scary to be used as a toy.”

"And yes." Bruce muttered. “He is doing well with therapy.”

“Does he go to therapy?” The question came out too abruptly to the point of interrupting Bruce in his activities.

"Why the interest?" He questioned, looking at you intently.

“I'm madly obsessed with him and I want to know everything.” You said in a sarcastic tone.

"It is clear." Bruce said equally sarcastic. “Please don’t go around selling information to journalists.”

"No." You mumbled. “I just think it's kind of scary to have a deadly, unstable killer living under the same roof. I mean, I would be very scared.”

“We all deserve a second chance.” With that the conversation ended.

You felt happy knowing that Bucky was moving forward with his problems. The atrocity committed by HYDRA against Sergeant Barnes was no secret; for the public, the Winter Soldier was going through a healing process before facing criminal charges for his crimes. There was a strict description of what processes were being taken. Now, you knew two things about him: his morning trips to the gym and his therapy.

(…)

Through Jackie, a nice front desk girl with a big tongue, you found out about Bucky's therapist. To his delight, he consulted in the tower with a therapist with a funny name whose name You didn't bother to remember. The room's corridor was to the north, far from his usual laboratory, which made it difficult to create an excuse to walk through those corridors. The good morning still happened, but you were getting greedy. No alternatives You decided to tell Tony and Bruce how excessive work was giving you anxiety attacks, afraid of losing your best scientist, the duo decided to refer you to the building's therapist. You were happy, indeed. Now he would have something in common to talk about with Bucky and the chances of bumping into each other in the hallway were greater.

The first appointment would take place on Monday after office hours. You got ready in the bathroom, sharing the intention of looking as beautiful as possible for him. Her luck didn't accompany her that day, as she didn't find Bucky in the corridors in the morning and faithfully hoped that he was in therapy. Did not happen. Her disappointed face became apparent when she didn't see him in the waiting room.

"Hello." The therapist said the moment you sat down in front of her. What brings you here today?”

"Anxiety."

The conversation with the therapist was pleasant, but disappointing. After an hour and a half of talking about how anxiety can be neutralized with exercise and regular appointments, you were released. On the way home You reflected on your love, on Bucky. How cruel and painful it must have been to have your autonomy taken away and restored in an unfamiliar world. He must be devastated, You thought. That's why he needed you. You could take care of him, give him a good life and be the perfect companion. You decided to keep going to therapy sessions in the hope of one day meeting him and kept waking up at dawn to look pretty for him.

(…)

“We can go to the cinema tomorrow” Wanda said excitedly. “I'm sure Jennifer Aniston's new movie will be funny.”

"It is clear." You mumbled.

After your fruitless attempts to find Bucky in therapy failed and the hallway encounters ceased to exist You hatched another plan to get closer to him; be friends with an avenger. Sure, there was Bruce and Tony, but it was all very professional and it would be difficult to explain the friendship between a young girl and two middle-aged men. Steve was busy, Pepper traveled too much, Natasha was inaccessible, Vision was a machine and Wanda... It was Wanda, the little girl with no family and no country. It was easy to become friends with her. All it took was one meticulously planned meeting by You in the elevator and BOOM! BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.

Wanda was his free pass to the Avengers floor. It wasn't unusual, or strange, to see You wandering the halls with your newest friend or alone. You saw Bucky more often; sometimes on the sofa with his sulky face, sometimes in the kitchen devouring a sandwich and sometimes in the minibar with a glass of whiskey. You learned new things about him. He didn’t sleep well at night so he went to the gym so early, the therapy was helping, but he hated going to therapy, referring to therapy as ‘’a shitty obligation’’. He was a sentimental man too, with his sullen and closed-off manner he had mixed feelings for his now teammate; he loved Steve and supported Sam, he liked Bruce but hated Tony with his arrogance, he feared Wanda, was nice to Vision and kept his distance from Natasha.

The new discovery kept you immensely happy; Bucky refused to go on dates or even meet other people. You once caught Steve complaining to Sam how Bucky was closed off to the world and avoided the company of the opposite gender. You were happy that your man was so faithful to you.

Meeting Bucky was always a balm for your heart; however he never spoke directly to You. On a good day You could get a good day or good night out of him, but these moments were rare and happened very quickly. You even tried to improve his appearance a little more to please him; He kept his hair always tidy, his clothes were discreet with refined touches, his nails were always done, his lips were always painted. Nothing worked. The man never looked directly into your eyes no matter how hard You tried.

“We should go to the park too.” Exclaimed Wanda, breaking You out of your thoughts. “I’ve never been to Central Parque.”

You held back the urge to roll your eyes at such a silly quote. It was girls' night at the roast, in her room. You were praying for Wanda to sleep and for You to be free to put your plan into action.

“There’s nothing much at Central Parque. Just beggars and rats.” You said to correct yourself immediately. “I promise I will go on a sightseeing tour by your side. Let's get to know all the good parts of New York. Away from rats, squirrels and drug addicts.”

“Are there places like this in New York?” She questioned as she wrapped herself in a blanket.

"Oh yes. There are truly good places in New York. I’ll make sure to take you to all the cool places.”

Around four in the morning, Wanda fell into a deep sleep giving You the opportunity to escape. You walked through the hallways carefree since if you were caught, which could easily happen, you would say you were going to the terrace to get some fresh air. Your feet headed towards Bucky's room, a familiar path but never before explored. According to his information, at this time he would be at the gym using all his energy to combat insomnia. That gave you a few hours to explore his room.

The door wasn't locked and when you opened the door, his woodsy smell reached your nostrils, as if he had pressed his body against your face. You enter the room, closing the door behind you. You sniffed the air, overwhelmed by the multitude of smells that circulated the environment. Bucky was perfect to the point of making his scent addictive.

“Bucky?” You call his name softly, slowly crossing the room and looking at the perfectly made bed.

You knew he wouldn't be there, but you created the fantasy in your head that you were a secret girlfriend and were going to see him in the early hours of the morning. Tonight, You would be his girl; I would put on his blouse, lie in his bed, put her head on his pillow and imagine being fucked until her brain melted.

Her eyes thoroughly analyze the environment around her; it was tidy, perfectly tidy. The room was spacious with large glass windows covered with a long navy blue curtain. The bed was large with white sheets. The closet, his favorite part, had several clothes that ranged from the most casual to combat clothes. You play with some pieces of clothing in the closet; smelling, pressing against his body, running his hands, imagining it to be his transformed chest.

"Beautiful." You mutter when you come across a cabin boy wearing black blouses. Your man liked black and so did you, he looked great in dark colors.

You remove your clothes piece by piece; first the shirt, the pajama pants, the bra. Stripping down to just black lace panties. You take one of the black blouses off the hanger and put it on. A comforting feeling fills your body with the fabric brushing against your skin; it was as if his hands were on your body; passing her hands over her shoulders, down to her breasts, going a little further down, passing over her belly and stopping at her pussy. You turn off the lights in the closet and head towards the bed, where you lay down on his scarves, where your head rests on his pillow.

Your panties dampened at the thought of having Bucky on top of you, on top of you, fucking your pussy with his dick until you reduced your spirit to dust. Resolving to deal with your throbbing clit and neglected pussy, You sat with your back to the headboard, took off your panties, spread your legs and started playing with yourself. You slid your middle finger over her slit, then brought it back and started circling her clit, slowly, very slowly, like he did in his dream. It was torturous, almost painful, to deny himself climax.

You closed your eyes and focused on the sensation, your hips began to move involuntarily in search of more contact, you decided not to torture yourself any longer and began to move your fingers faster. It was close. Her pussy was wet like it had never been before and clenched in anticipation of release. You removed your finger from your clit and moaned at the lack of contact, tears forming in your eyes as your climax was interrupted. You closed your eyes, and started brushstroking again, a movement that provoked yourself. But you didn't do that for long. After a few movements, you started to pick up speed. You moaned softly, moving your finger faster and faster over the swollen organ. His other hand grabbed her soft breast, pinching the hardened nipple hard. It was so close. You squeezed the nipple harder, lifted your hips and came. You moved your hand away from your now sensitive pussy and relaxed onto the mattress. Her body softened with the intensity of her climax. It was the first time you had reached a peak as strong as this.

“Don’t stop because of me.” A deep voice echoes through the room. “Come on girl, keep going. I’m enjoying the view.”

You open your eyes, scared and panting, to find Bucky standing at the foot of the bed with his arms behind his back staring at you. Your stomach tightens in nervousness from being caught and your heart pounds from being so close to him. It was him. Bucky. Your Bucky. The man of your life.

“I...” You try to speak, try to explain yourself, but only disjointed noises come out of your mouth. You didn't want him to see you like this. Bucky was an old-fashioned man, coming from the 40s. You believed he preferred a sweeter, more demure version of a girl willing to be a housewife who would do anything for her man. For him, You would play this role. You'd throw a hundred years of women's rights out the window to be that man's.

Bucky moved to the opposite side of the bed, giving you a sullen look before taking off his shirt and exposing his chest. His eyes fell to the scars on the border between his arm and his shoulder, it was horrible and beautiful.

“You know, I didn’t expect You to have the courage to one day approach me.” He said as he started to push his pants down his legs. Suddenly, he's there, wearing nothing but black boxers. His mouth is almost watering, but his brain is on alert. This wasn’t the Bucky You knew, this wasn’t the low-key, moody Bucky.

"I need to go." You say in disbelief at his action. You push your body off the bed only to be thrown back between the pillows.

“What’s wrong, kitten?” Bucky murmurs imitating a cute voice. “You always wanted this. Do you really think I didn't notice your attempts to get my attention? Even therapy You found a way to go just to be by my side.”

"How do you know that?" You ask in disbelief.

“I'm a fucking trained assassin, girl. I know when I'm being watched.” Bucky puts his knees on the bed hovering over You. “At first I thought she was a Hydra agent, then I realized she was just a crazy little girl desperate for attention.”

Those words really hurt you. Is that what he thought about you? Just a crazy girl clamoring for a man's attention? His heart broke when he realized how Bucky seemed to despise You, hate You. It wasn't supposed to be like this. His eyes started to water.

"Not talk like that." You asked in a sad whisper. Bucky let out a sarcastic chuckle through his mouth.

“Do you really think I didn’t notice your attempts to please me? I noticed his changing appearance and his ridiculous attempts to get closer. At first, I was going to let it go, but I wanted to know how far You would go. I just had to give you the rope to hang yourself.”

"All this time..."

"Yes." Bucky stops you. “I liked the attempts to get my attention. Cum! Waking up at 4am to get ready pretending to have anxiety attacks just to go to my therapist and creating a friendship with an Avenger just to be closer to me. Woman, you are crazy!”

His words really, really irritated you. You tried to push him off the bed and walk away, only to be pushed hard onto the soft mattress with Bucky on top of you, his hands on the side of your head.

"Skirt!" You demand as you push, or rather try to push the man was as heavy as a statue made of marble.

"No." He says with clear amusement in his voice. “I like crazy women. I felt special having someone go out of their way to please me.”

"Did you like it?" You ask in disbelief.

"Yes. You are so dedicated and persistent, I like that. A little obsessive-compulsive, but nothing I can't handle.” Bucky praises, as he looks straight into your eyes. “Now open your legs.”

something something Raihan (Pokémon Sword/Shield) and Kaeya (Genshin Impact) being more similar than I thought and maybe I just have a type in fictional characters

Not only in visuals (top heavy, dark colours, fancy jacket/equivalent) but in personality too I guess

Except Raihan uses difficult weather conditions to his advantage in Pokémon battles and Kaeya nearly died in a rainstorm night twice so that’s one difference at least. Also Raihan is performative ‘cause he’s got this athlete/idol persona like all other Galarian gym leaders (gym battles are like live sport events in Galar), and Kaeya’s performative ‘cause he does intelligence and has trust issues from unresolved trauma.

…these two should get together and have a chat.

Kaeya’s got a Cryo Vision, and dragon-type Pokémon (Raihan’s speciality type in Pokémon battles) are weak to ice-types so who knows, can Kaeya take down all of Raihan’s Pokémon by himself…?

(I’ve never actually played the Pokémon games and have only read the wikis so it’s just my impression of Raihan)

Note: Kaeya gets anxious at rain in second section but Raihan calms him down

“Quite the arena you have here, Mr. Raihan.”

“Thanks! But that’s just the standard here in Galar.”

“Oh? Well, it’d be exciting to play here, I bet.”

“Play? Oh, no no no, you’ve misunderstood. We do Pokémon battles here.”

“Oh?”

“You bring your best Pokémon to fight against other trainers, see who wins, yeah?”

“…Like Onikabuto fights? In Inazuma, pitching bettles in battles against eachother is popular, I’ve heard.”

“Yeah, pretty much. Hey, is that a Poké Ball you’ve got there? Got an ice-type with you?”

“In fact, I am an ice-type.”

“Huh?”

—

(Goodra has used Rain Dance, and it’s now raining in the area. Kaeya’s Cryo attacks go out of control)

“Finally showing your true power, huh? Well, bring it on! …Hey— Hey, Kaeya, relax! We’re just training here; not trying to seriously hurt them!”

(trying to appear calm but actually anxious inside) “Quite a rainstorm you’ve got here, Leader Raihan. Heh, this is going to get interesting…”

“Goodra, come back!” (Throws out another Poké Ball onto the field) “Turtonator! Sunny Day!”

(The rain immediately clears up and the arena becomes sunny. Kaeya calms but maintains Glacial Waltz.)

“My, my, are you pitying me, Galar’s strongest gym leader?”

“Kaeya! Are you alright?”

(Kaeya ends Glacial Waltz with a smile) “Why wouldn’t I be? We’re simply training, that’s all. But why hold back, hm?”

“…Look, I know you’re not a trainer, and I don’t know what you’ve been through, but Pokémon perform the best when they’re enjoying the battle. If you’re driven by anxiety or blind rage while fighting, you can seriously hurt yourself.”

“Quite the philosophy you’ve got there. Do all Galarian gym leaders share this view?”

“It’s something all good trainers should know. I know Unova’s champion and dragon-type leader sees it this way.”

“Hmm.”

“So what happened just now?”

“My! How bold of you.”

By the way, (Unova’s Champion) Iris’ and Kokomi’s outfits both seem to be based off of the daughter of the Dragon King (龙王) in Buddhism (I believe?) who lives in an underwater palace (?). The loop of cloth is what distinguishes it but Kokomi’s outfit seems very much stylized with the cloth only noticeable in her Burst.

Put On Your Raincoats | Buttman's Ultimate Workout (Stagliano, 1990)

The opening scene plays like an inverse of slasher movie dynamics. Our hero, Buttman, played by the director John Stagliano, is out admiring the night sky (and favourably compares the moon to a pair of buttcheeks). Like many a slasher movie villain, he sees a couple having sex (in an alley, outside in the middle of the night). Yet while a slasher movie villain would proceed to stalk and kill, Buttman is detected and fearfully retreats to a gym, ducking around corners and underneath furniture to evade detection. And where a slasher movie villain might be hopelessly compelled to kill, Buttman is hopelessly compelled to point his camera at every shapely, finely toned pair of buttocks in sight. In a way, they're both tragic figures. There's a similar dynamic here as in the beginning of Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II. Michael Myers flees from the cops while continuing his murderous rampage, while Buttman flees while zooming in on every ass he sees. In a way, they're both tragic figures.

As the title suggests, Buttman's Ultimate Workout is defined by its gym setting, the drab, utilitarian interiors providing a sharp contrast with the hideous day-glo colours of the characters' spandex workout clothes, and the gym equipment being incorporated into the sexual choreography. (There are times when the creaking of the equipment is loud enough to inspire fear for the performers' safety, providing an additional element of tension to the proceedings.) Like The Adventures of Buttman, the only other installment of the franchise I've seen (...all the way through...judge not that ye not be judged...), the film takes an episodic structure. In that opening scene, the hero is eventually caught by some meatheads, one of whom (Randy Spears, returning from the other movie) recognizes him, compliments his work and asks him to return later for another gig. The rest of the movie has the hero tagging along to film situations that evolve into sex scenes, some more naturally than others.

To the extent there's a narrative throughline, it's in Buttman's valiant efforts to act as a wingman for Zara Whites, helping her woo an allegedly dashing movie star played by Rocco Siffredi by relaying videotaped messages between them. Their interactions provide the most severe tonal whiplash in the movie, going from the hottest moment in the movie, Whites angrily tearing off her clothes after being informed of Siffredi's initial disinterest, to the funniest, Siffredi's concerned reaction: "This girl is crazy John, I'm afraid of this girl, I don't care how pretty she is, I don't need that in my life, okay." On a side note, if you're mostly familiar with Siffredi's more recent efforts, it can be jarring to see him this young, coming off like a less expressive Francois Papillon, before he became a porno Klaus Kinski. (I am not really a fan but I found him fairly palatable here, if not actually "good".)

Based on the claim on the DVD cover, this is supposed to be the most commercially successful entry in the series. I don't care to dig up the receipts to verify, but I would guess that success would have been driven by rising familiarity with the franchise than any particular secret sauce in this installment. On the whole, this is less formally confrontational than the earlier movie, repeating some of the same tropes but not really pushing them further or even as forcefully. The hero's presence is almost an afterthought in some of the scenes, which might as well be from traditional non-gonzo productions. There's less conscious bridging of the gap between the stars, the director and the viewer, although Spears in one scene spells out the appeal of these movies ("You wish this was you?"). But elsewhere you can see the movie codifying some of these tropes, like when the hero announces he'll go for his "patented low angle shot", and a pick-up scene with a fratboyish Tom Byron which provides an even flimsier con than the one in the original. (Byron once again leads his partner to the hero's "studio", which is obviously his bedroom. This time we can glimpse his record collection; Buster Poindexter's eponymous album figures prominently in several frames.) Whatever rawness and spontaneity that On the Prowl hoped to introduce into the genre is pretty much nonexistent here, as all the scenarios are quite contrived. I will give the movie some credit for trying to vary the atmosphere across its different sex scenes, although the attempts to class up the scenes with Whites with tinkly piano music comes up hilariously short in light of the relentless ass closeups. (The rest of the score sounds like a braindead assemblage of Casio presets.)

All that being said, once again I must concede that there's a certain potency in the movie's directness, and that the movie is quite effective on its exact terms. I think most people pick out these things on the basis of the performers, and in that sense I quite enjoyed the presence of Madison and the aforementioned Whites. The former I'd enjoyed quite a bit in Party Doll A Go-Go! and Evil Toons. In both of those, she sank her teeth into the goofy dialogue, running them through her pleasing twang and complementing them with all manner of goofy facial expressions. This role is less demanding of her acting talents, but she does get to bring some of that Madison magic as her and her friend test the patience of their fitness instructor when the neglect his suggestions in favour of posing for the hero's camera. ("Hey, you guys take your fuck-off pills today?") And Whites sells her side of the relationship between her and Siffredi (the passion is entirely one-sided, as is the charisma) and plays magnificently to the camera. I don't intend to watch too many more of this series' entries, but these two actresses made this one a worthwhile viewing.

Men's Swimwear Market Anticipates US$ 535.4 Million Valuation by 2032, Driven by 3.2% CAGR

The men's swimsuit market is expected to reach US$ 535.4 million by the end of 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2% from its estimated US$ 402.2 million valuation in 2022.

Product innovation for men's swimwear will see a boost in sales. Swim trunks are the most popular type of swimwear and are predicted to account for over 30% of the worldwide market during the estimated period.

𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗢𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁:

Men's swimwear has seen a tremendous metamorphosis in recent years, moving from utilitarian beachwear to a bold declaration of confidence and style. Men's swimwear is now available in a wide variety of styles, patterns, and materials, reflecting personal preferences and way of life. This piece explores the ever-changing men's swimwear market, highlighting major trends, evolution, and growth and innovation-promoting factors.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲:

American Apparel, Arena Italia, Dick's Sporting Goods, La Perla Group, NoZONE Clothing Limited, Orlebar Brown Limited, Parah S.p.a., Perry Ellis International, Speedo International, and Triumph International are some of the well-known producers of men's swimwear.

Key market participants are focusing on product innovation and development with the goal of improving client satisfaction in order to build a strong customer base. Apart from this, major corporations are implementing inorganic growth tactics like partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and the like in order to expand geographically and improve their product portfolio.

Amer Sports makes its physical debut in the Chinese market in October 2022 when it opens its first location in Beijing's Sanlitun neighborhood. The store is specially built to foster tighter ties amongst Chinese consumers.

Diks Sports products announced a relationship with Door Dash in September 2022 for on-demand retail delivery of sports products and apparel. By providing customers with access to more communities, this agreement will enable the company to expand geographically and boost revenue.

The Development of Swimwear for Men:

The days of men's swimwear being restricted to basic board shorts or briefs are long gone. In order to accommodate a broad range of tastes and body types, the market now offers a diversified selection of styles, such as trunks, shorts, briefs, and swim briefs. Men's swimwear, which expresses the wearer's individuality and sense of style, has evolved from traditional solids and stripes to striking prints and lively patterns, becoming a crucial part of summer ensembles. Men are adopting swimwear as a means of self-expression as a result of the rise of social media and influencer culture, which is spurring the market's innovation and originality.

Growth catalysts and market dynamics:

A number of factors are driving the strong growth of the men's swimwear market. The need for fashionable and practical swimwear that provides both comfort and performance has increased due to the growing popularity of beach vacations, resort vacations, and outdoor leisure activities. Furthermore, the distinction between swimwear and activewear has become more hazy due to the influence of athleisure and sports-inspired fashion trends. This has resulted in the creation of hybrid designs that can be worn anywhere—from the beach to the gym. Furthermore, the creation of eco-friendly swimwear solutions manufactured from recycled materials and organic fabrics has resulted from the growing emphasis on sustainability and ethical production processes, which is propelling the market's rise.

High-waisted silhouettes, vivid color blocking, and retro designs are all returning to appeal to trendy shoppers looking for a nostalgic look. In addition, water sports enthusiasts and energetic people are beginning to favor performance-driven swimwear with features like UV protection, quick-drying materials, and water-repellent coatings. Furthermore, shoppers looking for distinctive and exclusive pieces are responding favorably to the customisation trend, which sees businesses offering personalized swimwear alternatives like monogramming and bespoke prints.

Opportunities and Difficulties in the Market:

The men's swimwear market is expanding, but it still has to contend with issues like pricing pressures, seasonal variations in demand, and competition from fast-fashion stores. These difficulties do, yet, also offer chances for uniqueness and invention. Brands can improve the online shopping experience and lower returns by utilizing digital technology like 3D body scanning and virtual try-on tools. This will increase customer happiness and loyalty. Additionally, partnerships with athletes, celebrities, and influencers can help marketers reach a wider audience and establish a stronger connection with their target audience on social media.

Additionally, firms have a chance to set themselves apart from competitors by providing swimwear options that are socially and environmentally conscientious, given that customers are growing more aware of sustainability and ethical practices. The Men's Swimwear Market offers enormous opportunities for those involved.
