Faye — You’re Better (Self-Aware)

Photo by @kosmorama

You're Better by FAYE

Faye’s You’re Better is a non-stop banger in the estrogenized tradition of the Breeders, Speedy Ortiz and Kristin Hersh’s 50 Foot Wave. The record is full of brash blares of feedback-buzzed guitars, rampaging drum lines and the strutting sass of walking bass, and it’ll knock you right down if you let it. Not to worry, though, there’s a solicitous sweetness in its quirky, errant melodies, which twist and thread in girl-ish confidentiality.

The band was formed on a whim when Sarah Blumenthal and Susan Plante decided to mix things up. Blumenthal had always played guitar. She decided she would switch to bass. Plante was a classically trained pianist. She’d take up guitar. They started out with one drummer, Kristin Leake, and dropped a self-titled debut EP in 2016. Then in 2018, Thomas Berkau of the Charlotte band Yardwork joined as drummer. 

The disc kicks off with “No Vibes,” at first just with Blumenthal and her bass, in a pick-clanging punk onslaught of just two notes, shadowed by feedback. Plante’s guitar chimes in, and Berkau knocks out a chugging drum cadence. It’s a tough, knotty sound with more than a little Riot Grrrl in it. An explosive chorus amps up the intensity, with Plante sawing serrated eighth notes on guitar and the two women’s voices crisscrossing in exulting counterpoints. The song swaggers and charms at the same time. The parts are sharp and irregularly shaped, but they fit together like locks and keys. 

I like “Teeth” the best, and maybe because it’s got a grunge-y, diesel stained, Western Mass vibe that puts me in mind of both Dinosaur Jr. and Speedy Ortiz. “I am the hand, you are the teeth,” sings one of the women, the other singing the same line, half a measure behind in a giddy, heady round, as the sludgy roar of guitars washes up and over the vocal line, and the drum shots rocket through the mix. Like Kristin Hersh on a guitar bender, these ladies never let go of the melody, no matter how loud things get.

Okay but imagine if the Creator's child was Kaveh's.

Out of literally everyone in the world and the creator bags the broke architect 🤭

Que Jessica Rabbit's 'he makes me laugh'.

He still lives with Alhaitham bc the idea of sharing a literal child with the creator but still getting locked out of your apartment is hilarious.

The creator had a the broke architect's child

Creative child

After your child is born with no distinctive features other than his blond hair the first one to know who your lover was is your own child

WC: 900~

To be 100% truthful I only thought about doing this for the iconic physical feature like neuvi, Diluc, etc but this was fun jsjs

“Morning, parental unit” your blond son stands on the door joining your library and the solarium in which you often humored visits.

“Morning, uhm, offspring?” Your hand reaches towards the book shelf without minding him, people said children his age find joy in speaking and behaving weirdly, and yours wasn't an exception, if his giggles meant something. 

“I heard you speaking with mister Diluc about visiting Sumeru”

“It's bad to eavesdrop” softly you chastise him but he pouts and stomps.

“I wanna go! You told me dad lives there, I wanna meet him”

“Shush! I told you that as our secret” you close the book you were skimming over but sigh as you see his yellow eyes “but last month when I told you to come for a festival in Sumeru but you didn't want to go”

“Because aunties Eula and Amber were going to teach me how to skyyyy” he whines the last word, already sensing you wouldn't want to take him there. 

“Bratty child” you groan “fine, if you manage to make up for the 4 days we will not be here with your tutor I will take you” and as you finish talking you hear him slamming the door shut and his bare feet hitting the floor as he runs away.

And, somehow, your usually mischievous child managed to work hard enough to make up for a few absences, or so said his tutor, who you still believed was under the spell of his puppy eyes, just like when he managed to smuggle two cats and a cryo slime.

“Karen, stay close, we have to go to the akademiya to check some paperwork and sit through some meetings” you grab his forearm, dragging him away from the colorful stained glass mobiles and the fluffy beasts carrying spices and fruit.

After a fair bit of bickering with every stand selling something he has never seen you manage to reach the akademiya, even if Karen was almost being dragged. 

Popping your head on the administration room you see a row of desks, a familiar face standing out amongst the sea of brown hair, a long gray hair standing up tall from his scalp.

Alhaitham is lounging in his desk, a book on one hand and a pen on the other, seeing him so calm makes you decide against bothering him and rather to ask one of his coworkers, even if you have to wait for a little bit while they finish transcribing as you chat them up, knowing it could be intimidating to have you stand silently besides them.

“C'mon let's just go to himmm, he looks like he is just lazing arounddd” Karen tugs on the bottom of your tunic but you ignore his little tantrum and keep asking the girl about the date she told you she will have after work.

Seemingly waiting for five minutes was too much of a waste of time that could be used to explore this nation. Sneaking silently behind you he stands before Alhaitham’s desk, but is ignored as he has his noise canceling earbuds and Karen isn't taller than the desk.

“Hey” he says, no answer “Heeeyy” no answer, now ticked off Karen slams his small hands against the thick wood board “HEY! STOP IGNORING ME” 

Alhaitham just peeks his head towards him, not hearing the noise but seeing his hands, but when he looks at him his annoyed look and yellow eyes seem too familiar.

He opens his mouth, eyes half closed as if he was thinking about something. 

Now noticing he was causing the ruckus you drag him by the armpits so he stops hitting the desk, as you start making Karen apologize you see Alhaitham's face. His eyebrows now almost up with his hairline and his green eyes uncharacteristically wide, but quickly he changes into a smirk as Karen apologizes for yelling.

“Please don't tell me it was-”

“Keep reading your book”

“Not my guest's bed~” he teases while grabbing his book, expecting the office to be calm again when the door slams open again, a blond huffing and puffing ready to face his housemate.

“YOU… how come you always grab my keys?! I couldn't enter the house for 2 hours!” to which al haitham tugs a set of keys out of his pockets and dangles three keys and a lion doll.

“Ugh, calm down. Why even wait 2 hours if you already know where I work?”

Under all their yapping you mumble something to your son “that is your dad” and you let a small promise to make both meet if he is busy, but after 5 ish minutes of bickering and the paperwork you needed snug in your hand it's obvious it will be quicker to just end this fight yourself. 

“Kaveh? Oh, hi, it's been so long” one of your hands falls on his shoulder, making him notice your presence “like 4 years ago?” You ask as you feel Karen hug one of your legs.

“oh, yeah, it's been so long” he laughs lightly, feeling suddenly bashful.

“It's a shame I was so busy I was just able to visit Sumeru, someone wanted to meet you” the flat part of your nail rakes through your son's hair.

“Huh?” He just now notices the kid behind you and his bright hair.

“Could you take care of him for a second? I have to finish a meeting and I should be able to meet you two”

“Yep! I will show him around and we can meet at the cafe, in sure we will have a lot to talk about”

Don't dare to run away so fast... Who allowed you to use my house like a motel

Hick!

"adora doesn't want me, not the way i want her" could very easily have gone a direction where c*tra finally, finally realised that the universe did not revolve around her and decided to save adora not for the sake of the relationship she wanted but for the sake of adora's value as an individual and it will never not suck that none of that happens because at that point in s5 getting c*tra to make out with the increasingly tenuous cardboard cutout that had once been an engaging main character was all anyone was allowed to aim for

#spopcrit #also for the record #a c*tra with self-awareness would have then realised that she dodged a fucking bullet #'she doesn't want me the way i want her: as a vacant shell that exists solely to make me feel better' #'wait i would hate it if anyone treated me like that' #ABILITY UNLOCKED: BASIC THEORY OF MIND

i have bad news for anyone who expects mental illness to be family friendly

^ yeah!

#thats a pretty good summary of it. #ask #anon #arsenic #ok ill rant about the au and mentall illness— nick's not diagnosed with anything. doesnt mean he doesnt #- /have/ anything. #mostly im thinking npd and bpd but this dude just. is not self aware at all. nobody ever told him. oops #im also giving him low empathy because i'll give low empathy to any character im obsessed with #(read: im projecting) (same way im making sunny trans. have i ever mentioned sunny's trans in this AU) #anyway. sunny's autistic but ive said that one before #nick is a psychiatrist's wet dream i think. #for the record i dont think people with npd or bpd are evil. im not evil. my friends are not evil #this AU doesnt exist to be good representation! sorry #anyway narcissistic abuse is not a real thing and aspd was made up by psychiatrists who thought that surely people being violent- #- means they're mentally ill. they based the diagnostic criteria off of criminals. the dsm is made up and none of this is real #i could rant about the way PDs are treated for hours. do NOT give me an opportunity to do so #this AU is not good rep but if someone starts calling nick a psychopath or a sociopath i will bite ! #omori #rant

so I may or may not have been selfshipping with Aqua for over six years now

#heart of the void #selfshipping #love: wayfinding waters (aqua) #selfship: survivors of the dark (aqua/aria) #the exact timing is very much up in the air because I have so few records of the timeframe given various events that occurred #but based on what things I *can* find.. i'm fairly confident that I was using aria to selfship with aqua before september 2018 #and I know I started developing aria's lore more concretely in january/february of that year #so.. it makes sense to me to conclude that I might have started pairing her with aqua quite shortly after that began? #I didn't call it selfshipping but arguably only because I wasn't properly aware of the term/community/etc. so it could still count #and if so then that's sort of like wow. like where did the time go. #i know i haven't spoken about aqua much at all for a fair bit actually but.. she does definitely still mean a lot to me #self‑insert: darkness' champion (aria) #forgot that tag #of hearts and friendship (kingdom hearts) #of lux and daybreak (union x)

[ladyluscinia]

I do have to appreciate (?) how hard the haters work to ensure their definition of bigotry is Izzy-escape proof. I mean, yeah, if you are saying that it's functionally impossible for him to not be some flavor of bigoted because technically the very concept of having socially informed ideas about ways to be a man and men's behavior is intrinsically linked to homophobia and misogyny and racism, and therefore expressing any negative opinion on how a male character is behaving counts as such...? Alright then? Telling a man not to sob over a breakup (even with a hypothetical woman!) is homophobia AND misogyny if you consider the social reason that would draw attention as a behavior to criticize and our society's collective idea of masculinity. You've defeated me with your social studies thesis logic on Every Insult Under The Sun Can Be Traced To Bigotry 🤷‍♀️

But in practice I still just don't think it's worthwhile to say the antagonist with the literal raison d'etre of not being 100% supportive and approving of the protagonists in order to cause conflict is being irredeemable or violently bigoted by *checks notes* insulting men in the story about men. Just like I don't think Stede or Edward or the rest of the crew are being irredeemable bigots by also having socially informed ideas about masculinity???

Like, looking at it that way Stede is a clear misogynist (and more, but we'll stick with just the misogyny bit). I don't think he even realizes he is one, but the whole Mary sequence and just being a man in the 1700s makes it pretty obvious. He might do less misogyny in the future on account of just not interacting with women (suspect behavior tbh), but fundamentally he has not remotely addressed or deconstructed the misogynistic ideas that shape his entire perspective. Honestly, he's probably not going to at this point. They drew attention to his worst behaviors under the framing of just kinda being a self-centered ass, made him realize he fucked up and apologize to the woman he hurt over the course of about 15 minutes, and then sent them both toward happier endings.

Is this story saying that misogyny is actually fine and misogynists are admirable and likable people? Or that misogyny is just a surface level form of bigotry that doesn't really affect your attitude toward women once you stop being an ass? Or, maybe, is the story just not about misogyny???

And if it's not about misogyny despite being literally incapable of avoiding characters expressing misogyny (since in reality that's not so cleanly excised), then why on earth does it have to be about homophobia? Is it just because the leads are gay men?

Like, I'm sorry, but media for 5-year-olds has long been able to tell stories about antagonists learning that it's okay for boys to cry and be emotionally vulnerable and it's mean to make fun of them without insanely complex layers of deconstructing homophobia or intensive requirements to overcome internalized biases. I bet OFMD can teach that lesson without explicit, targeted homophobia. No one is denying in serious meta that Izzy has been an ass? Or that character development to be less of an ass is the logical next step?

I'm not disputing their assertion that Izzy is homophobic because I think the writing team accomplished the impossible and erased homophobia from the background hum of existence for this one TV show. I'm disputing it because the essential second half of said assertation is that this is a meaningfully included and emphasized part of his characterization that will typically justify his future karmic punishment for bigotry and/or require much greater redemptive effort of him to get any sort of neutral-to-happy ending on the table. That's why they care about it. The effect on the story!

If the story isn't about homophobia, then no, the antagonist doesn't usually have "homophobic" as a character trait I need to account for.

And twisting that fairly straightforward narrative interpretation into some kinda gotcha about "So you deny insulting gay men with gendered insults has shades of homophobia?!?" is - to borrow a phrase Lucius used against Stede - "kind of a bitchy question."

#our flag means death #been tossing around ways to word this for a long time #mainly because i'm fully aware this kind of slippery technicality is pretty much universally a bad faith gotcha for a hated character #but like. yeah reality is a mess of interconnected biases and bigotries that all build off one another to justify A excluding B #doesn't mean every single story developed in this intrinsically flawed society has to say something about all of it #does stede know women are people? does anyone want the next two seasons to tackle stede learning women are people? #tbh i would much rather just say he gets it via the 'don't be a self-centered ass' metaphor #ofmd meta #izzy hands ofmd #stede bonnet ofmd #sorry stede but your track record with women? not great 😔 #homophobia #ladyluscinia #no cut because nowhere made sense

I love singing. About to go to my fourth singing class. Just practiced for 45 mins at home. Learning a Sinead O’Connor song (or a song as sung by Sinead O’Connor, The Parting Glass). It’s so joyful!!! For me!

#I love! it! #I recorded the coal warmups we did last lesson coz I never can remember them #and it was fun to do them in my bathroom with my door shut so I didn’t disturb ~A’s meeting #and then sing that song 5 times in a row #I would like to be clear here not in a self deprecating way but just so we all are aware #I’m not particularly good at singing #but boy o boy I do love it #coal warmups…. I mean vocal warmups

I don't know if it's just me, but are they gradually dumbing down Rick's character for the sake of keeping the show popular?

I got extreme Peter Griffin vibes from this episode, and I feel like in general he's a lot less sharp and cool gritty and witty and "unconventional" the way that he was the first couple of seasons. He wasn't an easy character to "swallow" in a lot of ways so to speak, and I feel like he's gradually getting dumber, more cloudy around the edges, less sharp and more conventional and shallow with a lot of the things that he says. He feels extremely typical sometimes this season-like more of the character that people would watch because the character doesn't challenge their headspace in any kind of way, and is someone that encourages their complacent drunk dead personality.

The character used to say things that was really unpopular, or at the very least would occasionally say things that would make people uncomfortable (just things like "if you know how you're going to die because of how boring your life is then you're not even alive" and just things that challenged at the boring drunk complacent status quo that most American sitcom characters are), was an extreme breath of fresh air in terms of how sharp he was and how he wasn't afraid to challenge everything even if it was just in a TV show character kind of way, and it's one of the things that stuck out about me about him the most, especially as someone who is mentally ill and feels detached from most of American culture.

I might just be in a bad mood, but I genuinely feel like Rick feels less sharp and "unconventional"and is starting to feel increasingly more dumb, dopey and easy to swallow as a character.

I still love him and I always will, and sometimes I find it endearing, but this episode in particular felt like he was just being a dumb genuine and boring drunk (really just in terms of the scene with Beth, but considering that the episodes are only about 22 minutes, there isn't a lot of elbow room to work with, especially considering most of this episode was summer screen time).

The only reason why I care so much is because of Rick is one of the very few characters I've ever been genuinely connected with, so I'm just worried that Rick as a character is going down to gradual slippery slope of just becoming an American extremely overly dumbed it down product. The show was so gritty and real and raw and a lot of ways for the first three to four seasons and kept that touch up to season 6, but this season just feels like they're gradually going into "American Dad" type feeling territory, and I'm vaguely worried a little bit about my connection to the show. Especially as someone that does not connect to things easily or ever at all really. And partially because everything is so dumbed down and doesn't seem to have any and genuine philosophy behind it except of being another brainless thing for people to consume to pass the time.

#I'm just complaining to myself #because I don't like talking to people on Reddit #lol #rick and morty #if anybody thinks that I'm being melodramatic then I am because there is such thing as being mentally ill because of real life #problems and being deeply in love with characters because for whatever reason that's what makes sense to my brain #I have no friends in this fandom so I can post as obnoxiously as I want anyway lol #Rick is one of the very few things that means enough to me to bring out this passionate side of me #when it comes to consumption #literally not even kidding but my attachment to Rick is so deep #that even just having a certain kind of dopey looked his expression after being confronted in a certain way from being caught drunk can put #me off #for the record I am aware of the fact that my attachment to Rick is unhealthy #and therefore how passionate I am about him is vaguely off-putting or a lot off putting depending on who you are #but I am a self-aware unhealthy person #and I'm also wear the fact that literally nobody has to put up with somebody else's posts if they don't like how intense or mentally ill #they are #fans like me would be better off at this point if the show was canceled #not because I want it to be but because I've become so specifically attached in my extreme labretentious way from other way that Rick was #presented the first six or so seasons that I feel like at this point I've become almost too picky #and obviously it's not about what I think #but I am saying this as someone that is more than content to be fixated on a canceled TV show because of how perfect it already was #like bj #literally the strongest relationship I've ever had with a character #and it's from a canceled TV show of literally 4 years lol

might as well throw in some pingxie thoughts while i’m at it

i have. many things to say about pingxie. but on the subject of reducing relationships to one dimensional tropes specifically, it does them just as much of a disservice.

my favorite variation of pingxie is in the books (very shocking i know, although that’s technically the original them and not a variation), and by comparison to what’s shown in the dramas (which are fun and self-indulgent don’t get me wrong), the books are the slowest of slow burns. never forget we see everything in them from wu xie’s pov exclusively (at least the main entries), so we can only infer xiaoge’s own growth and development from what wu xie sees of it, but it very much exists.

wu xie has a complicated opinion of xiaoge in the earlier books, mostly because he doesn’t quite know what to make of this man who looks younger than he is and completely blows him off on their first meeting (blows everyone off in fact) much to his displeasure, which leads to the initially derogatory nickname ‘menyouping’, and yet is also vastly competent and knowledgeable. he’s cold and indifferent, yet wu xie feels safe around him and trusts him more than he likely should from the get go, mostly because wu xie’s good at reading people’s intentions and character on an instinctive level he doesn’t always manage to rationalize early on. he’s fascinated and would like to know him better, but also finds him deeply unfathomable, even incomprehensible.

and then you have xiaoge, who it merits saying, is repeatedly described as largely indifferent to most things (and he genuinely is), doing what he deems necessary but otherwise not bothering to involve himself with other people or social niceties. this is a man who spends his time off to the side sleeping or contemplating the sky, and yet in the space of four books he goes from not giving two shts about wu xie (or more than he would the average person) to voluntarily interacting with him, siding with him in quiet ways, helping him through unspoken little acts all the way up until a turning point wherein he first tries to keep his distance from wu xie en route to tamutuo in an effort to keep him from getting further involved than he already is in dangerous things he has no concept of, except by then he’s shown enough uncharacteristic interest in wu xie that wu xie notices he's being cold and distant. this all culminates in the infamous moment where xiaoge eventually lets himself act on thoughts he’s likely never fully analyzed himself, let alone shared with another person, leading to the “if i disappeared no one would notice” moment. 

and from there all the way until post ten years later and into things like yucun biji, the reality is that pingxie were never the serious immortal and the dorky clumsy mortal boy he adopts, nor are they the vulnerable strong one and the eventual protector, or any other trope variation really. pingxie are two people who at the start stand on opposite sides of a line neither of them were ever meant to cross, and to all intents and purposes should never have met for how very different the worlds they come from are. they’re people that circumstance threw together who chose to stay together, and keep choosing each other. they don’t need each other to exist, and could have gone their separate ways had they wanted to, but the importance of their relationship lies in that they stay together by active choice, and that in doing so, they meet in the middle.

wu xie matures and comes to understand a number of things through hardship while xiaoge is behind the gate that untether him just enough from the world that xiaoge isn’t quite so unfathomable anymore, while xiaoge comes down from his imposed pedestal just enough that he tethers himself to wu xie (and pangzi) and learns to live rather than exist

neither of them became a different person for the other, and the core of their relationship (and the beauty of it) is in the harmony and understanding they eventually achieve. reducing all of that to archetypes is honestly a little tragic

#this has nothing to do with the point i'm making here #but for the record #most of this is the basis of why i like to hc pingxie as being on the ace/demi spectrum #and as having no real prior romantic and/or sxual experience besides with each other if we're talking shipping #bc neither of them really show any kind of special interest in other people besides each other really #and the way their relationship develops is a precedent for both of them respectively #in more not directly related #there's so many sweet moments in yucun biji specifically that show the care and regard they have for each other #xiaoge telling wu xie when he leaves to roam the mountains and approximately when he'll be back so he won't worry #vs wu xie being on a private quest to find something xiaoge genuinely likes to add to their restaurant menu #and feeling some type of way about xiaoge liking the snails and sneaking candies into the car on their trip back from banai #they never use words not really #BUT THEY CARE #SO MUCH #it helps a lot that wu xie happens to be a sometimes uncannily self-aware narrator #and he'll say the most heartfelt and profound things so matter-of-factly sometimes you have sit there and take it in #i feel very normal about them #dmbj #pingxie #wu xie #zhang qiling #dmbj meta

I don't know who to believe anymore, both of you have been making wild assumptions, and you've taken it the farthest. Please sit and think about if this is worth the time and energy.

Don't worry anon- fortunately, facts speak for themselves! Won't be any wild assumptions or claims, just their own words/posts. I won't ask you to believe anything I say at face value. Cos anyone can lie on the internet, right? I'm not gonna do that. I'll just lay it out, all the screenshots- just as he did- and people can come to their own conclusions about what they think about it. I think that's about fair, right? That's exactly what he did, after all.

(Also, the fact that he said myself and the others triggered by his actions "claim" to be victims, and mocked me being in mourning for my father that died 8 days ago while comparing it to his eviction took out the last tiny bit of sympathy I had. Sorry! Here's an example of a screenshot of something actually fucking disgusting for you.)

#asks #anonymous #ceci speaks #i mean #since they posted their own receipts #isnt it only fair that i post mine? #or am i supposed to be the bigger person after they mocked me for being in mourning and constantly posted about me for over a week? #and called me all the worst kinda shit and laughed in the face of all the people they triggered and called them crybabies? #and kept going and going all day today calling me all kinds of shit #nah i dont think so #ive taken it the farthest? oh baby #you havent seen nothin yet #for the record tho i never said lil bro was a predator and i dont consider him one #but since hes so irresponsible and seems to have no idea that the issue is not what he ships but how and where he posts it #and has continuously drug out this issue for days on end without having one single bit of remorse until he started getting backlash #theres enough red flags to be extremely concerning to not only me but several other survivors #NO i wouldnt trust my younger family members or minor friends around someone that consumes that content irresponsibly #and has no sense of self awareness or empathy at all #if hes hurt by that well that sucks for him #i dont buy the 'woe is me im just a poor widdle victim dat did nuffin wrong but get bullied' act #you had giant balls the entire last week and now suddenly i answered you youre crying and triggered #if i were meaner id call you a crybaby like you called the people you triggered #but instead i'll just call you a pathetic little worm #grow up #negative #tw csa mention

Yayayay

Chapter 2! I wrote the first half of this on a plane! Hope you enjoy yay.

OMG, this was incredibly interesting, I'm amazed you developed the plot this much within a single chapter. :D (And that you wrote this on a plane? Omg?)

I'm not going to spoil it too much, but all of this build-up with the Auditor (+ the other Employers by extension) and the Main 3 was really well done, and it definitely makes me think that they're ready to take some rather drastic action to help their Player. I'm very curious to see how it'll play out, especially now that the Auditor knows others are aware of his interest in you. There are just so many possible paths for this story to take from this point; I'm excited to see what you come up with next. Great work as always, Box! :) <3333

The opportunity is here for you to bring a loving perspective to a situation. It is easy to get wrapped up in the words being said. What does your heart say about this situation? It knows the truth. Trust that. Sit still, take a deep breath and ask your heart what you need to know.

Love's first task is to listen. Do you have a habit of drifting away while someone else is speaking? Do you get entangled in your own thoughts? Take time to process what is being communicated before you respond or react. Learning to listen with an open heart will help you recieve guidance or affirm something you already know.

Two young women are shown in this card. One holds a seashell to the other's ear. The seashells represent the good things that can be discovered in a challenging situation. The pod of dolphins playing in the background denotes that joy may be found. The white horse may be a call to control your emotions. Stop and listen. What do you hear and how can it bring more happiness to your life?

ok ok ok i think about this EVERY time I listen to Sharkface/Rooftop but like. we get Wash saying “What the fuck is with this guy” right before the bass drop, and then when the Sharkface part ends (right before we roll into Tex’s delicious western-esque guitar motif) we get him saying “That guy was a dick” 

And it never fails to make me yell, out loud, even with the windows down in my car, “SHUT UP WASH YOU ARE THE DICK HERE”

BECAUSE and I will tell you why BECAUSE SHARKFACE IS ON DEFENSE! This is his home turf, this is his JOB, he is PAID to deFEND this building on the orders of his higher-ups. He WORKS here.

Washington you are IN HIS HOUSE, you are AT HIS JOB, you are attempting to STEAL things from his employer that are NOT YOURS and he gets paid to STOP PEOPLE FROM STEALING THINGS LIKE YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW! AND YOU ARE EVEN FIRING GUNS AT HIM!! AND HIS COWORKERS!! THEY ARE ON THE FLOOR DEAD!! HE IS JUST DOING HIS JOB!! JESUS CHRIST!! WHAT A SHITTY FUCKING DAY AT WORK HE’S HAVING!! We haven’t even gotten to the part where Agent Texas becomes responsible for turning him into a conkcrete and viscera sandwich.

anyway. in conclusion, Sharkface is not the dick, Agent Washington. YOU ARE.
