A fun fact about me: can't believe I forgot this tiny detail about me! This is like almost my whole personality..! 😭 I'm able to eat almost anything that you're tossing infront of me! I love food so much! But sometimes I'm eating less due to my random stomach aches.. My stomach pains get way worse when I'm in a hot area or stuck in one room, but I'm still able to see the positivity and know everything is gonna be ok! I also know exactly what to do when my stomach begins acting up so we're ok here!

Anyways disney should scare the shit out of people and it’s horrific how many laws they fucking change to stay alive. All mass media corporations should scare people. Disney is just especially heinous because it presents itself as a “progressive” company.
Disney is not progressive. They will never give a SHIT about minority groups because they aren’t PROFITABLE. Conservatives are profitable. Neo liberals are profitable. That’s why we keep getting these Non white characters that get tossed aside and turned into racial caricatures after their use as a publicity stunt is done. That’s why we’re getting “Disney’s first gay character that only appears for 2 seconds in the background and is edited out for non western releases”. That’s why disney content is boring, repetitive, and increasingly anti-socialist and conservative.
Disney is a fucking parasite. They’re buying up so much land in Florida it’s scary. They have their own fucking neighborhood. That people pay MILLIONS to stay in. It’s upsetting because disney FUELS capitalism in America. Disney is PARTNERED with the worst polluters on EARTH. Disney is partnered with anti-gay and racist organizations. Disney will never change. They aren’t liberal. They don’t give a shit. The more Media they own the worse it gets. And the worst part is no one can do anything. They employ so many people that trying to strike would be pointless. And no ones gonna stop supporting Disney. Disney appeals to the majority in America (and china). They appeal to the conservative far-right. And they’re gonna keep it that way.
Be scared of Disney. Stop supporting mega corporations whenever possible. Call out these companies.
EDIT: forgot about Disney literally covering up child s*x trafficking by their actors. Disney can rot in hell.
Also: Terfs can eat shit and die

Review #38: The Light in the Forest
Post #42
8/4/2020
Next up is 1958′s The Light in the Forest
Tumblr media
Enjoyment : [1]
Watching this movie feels like pissing blood. Watching it actively gave me a throbbing headache I was so furious with it. There is almost nothing enjoyable about this garbage and I actively think lesser of people who defend it. The issue is that the entire premise of the movie is racist and hateful so you can never get on board with the story unless you are also racist and hateful. The story is about a boy named True Son who was adopted by a tribe of Native Americans. Due to a treaty he is forced to return to his biological family where is then tortured and brainwashed until he finally acts ‘white enough’ for their approval. Even if True Son is ethnically white, he was raised by a loving Native family and this movie acts like none of that matters. From the first frame the moral of this movie is “The Races don’t mix, stay with your own kind” and it boils my brain to try and think why Disney thought this was ok.
Quality : [1]
The filmmaking is fine. Camera, lighting, sets, costumes, it probably would have gotten a 4 if the plot was anything other than the shit show it turned out to be. Because the writing is so unbelievably hateful this movie gets a 1. The reason this devalues the quality of the movie as a whole, is that the way scenes are structured is now fundamentally flawed. The writing tries to frame the racist white cultists as villains, but then also does nothing to refute them. The racist villains say something racist, True Son looks sad, and the film moves on like there is nothing else to be said. You can’t possibly write likable character when they are just awful from start to finish. Besides some musical stings, there is nothing behind the camera to display that these racists are wrong, if anything I think the framing supports their arguments and it ends up ruining everything.
Hold up : [0]
The second ever 0 given on this blog, and boy does this movie deserve it. I have already gone over how hateful the core premise is. A ‘respectable white family’ tries to ‘tame a savage native’ because ‘this is where he belongs!’ It is lazy, stupid and spiteful writing. However, what makes this movie truly awful is the ‘both sides!’ angle it tries to push and utterly fails at. The opening scene has the Native chieftain arguing with a British general. The Chieftain says that the British troops have been raping and killing men, women and children that were not part of any war party, to which the general snaps “Yeah but they only killed the civilians because they were scared of facing your savage warriors.” and then they just moves on like that was a fair answer to those accusations. You cannot compare the violence the Natives committed against the Pioneers to the violence the Pioneers committed against the Natives. One side was an invading army and the other was made up of civilians defending their home. Whenever a scene tries to ‘both-sides’ the argument it just sounds like “Why do the people we keep killing say they don’t want us to kill them? That’s so rude of them!” Fuck off movie this is pathetic and you know it. This movie is also truly horrible in its depiction of adoptive families. Despite the fact that True Sons Native family knew him most of his life and provided nothing but stability, the movie frames his racist, abusive biological family as his ‘true family’ since being related by blood trumps everything else. Like honestly fuck that, adopted families ARE real families regardless of race.  On a final absurd note, as if this movie couldn’t get any worse, the final conflict revolves around True Son fighting his uncle, who has been shown to not only be a racist murderer, but also an attempted rapist. And yet, True Son explicitly states he is going to fight his Uncle not because he is evil, but because “he wants to prove his is a white man and wants to earn his respect.” Yeah I am sure the respect of a monster like that is really that important to True Son. Go rot in hell Disney.
Risk : [2]
This movie is once again drenched in the sloppy discharge of American Exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny. I have already gone into detail about how horrible the ‘both-sides’ argument is since it paints the past as an inevitable conflict where the genocide of the Natives was just an unfortunate side effect. The only reason this movie doesn’t get a lower score in terms of risk, is that there WAS actually some attempt to humanize the Natives. They are shown to have complex inner lives and for the most part True Son remains steadfast in his refusal to give up his upbringing. He still ends up ‘turning white’ by the end but his determination made him the only likable character. Even though it was handled poorly, this movie actually acknowledged the existence of the Native genocide rather than painting over it like Westward Ho, The Wagons! did.
Extra Credit : [2]
There was one scene that actually was fun to watch. After True Son has been pushed around by his awful family for most of the movie, he is reunited with one of his Native cousins and it is genuinely joyful. The two wrestle and run around laughing, just happy to be in each others company. It made me smile and I hate that it didn’t lead into True Son going home to be with the family that actually loves him. If this movie had the balls to pick a side, this could have been a really wonderful moment, but spoilers: It wasn’t.
Final thoughts:
This is easily the worst movie on this list so far. Worse than the true life documentaries and worse than Peter Pan. It has been a long time since I sat through a movie that I could describe as ‘genuinely hateful.’ You get the feeling that the people who made this movie actually hated Native Americans and set out to intentionally demonize another race. I didn’t even get around to talking about the bland love interest who ‘fixes’ True Son with love because as we all know the best way to cure racism is good old fashioned heterosexual marriage. The best way to sum up this movie is with this simple fact. The main characters name is True Son, but his biological parents want to call him “Johnny” The scene were he meets his biological mother for the first time, instead of hugging, or getting to know each other, the mother simply says. “Your name is Johnny, you won’t leave this room until you say your name and act like a civilized gentleman.” Her concerns are not about True Sons mental wellbeing or safety, she just wants him to act ‘white’ so SHE is comfortable. There is ZERO love between them and yet the movie frames this like a heartfelt reunion between long lost family. After this scene, no one calls him True Son anymore, not even his love interest. They all call him Johnny and it has the same vibe as a someone getting dead-named over and over until they finally submit. I hate this movie and what is worse, I don’t think this will be the worst movie I’ll watch by the end of this project. God help me, this movie took years off my life. If I have to watch something this bad again I will dig up Walt myself and beat his zombie ass senseless. 
Total Score: 6/50
<- First <- Previous 38 out of 431 Next ->
the list
Edit: I would like to make a minor note about this movie. It is implied through dialogue that True Son was not adopted by kidnapped by the Native Americans. Which does make his biological families desire to bring him home understandable... HOWEVER: The way the movie is shot and written, it is clear that True Son is happy and treated as an equal while in the tribe, and he is emotionally abused the moment he is brought into the white town.  While he was not adopted in the text of the movie, it is clear that the movie frames and interprets True Son as an adopted child being ‘saved’ by his biological family. Either way Disney did a crappy job with this movie.

Don’t Let Me Fly (Now I’m Afraid) - SoPe Littlespace Drabble
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Gif source - misticalsuga and anpandan)
A/N: So I literally just opened my drafts to start writing and the new comeback trailer just came out (EEEEEEPPP) What better way to celebrate our wonderful Min Yoongi’s solo than with a cute SoPe fic? ;)
Here ya go!!
Pairing: Little!Yoongi X Caregiver!Hoseok (OT7 on the side)
Rating: G
Words: 2172
Fluff, pure tooth-rotting fluff, little bit of hurt/comfort
WARNINGS: There will be the beginning of a panic attack in this story, but it doesn’t evolve into a full-blown episode. However, I wanted to put a warning just in case that kind of thing triggers anyone.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Every time a music video dropped, Yoongi would do the same thing; turn off his phone and hide whenever and wherever he was able to. Without fail, the second he opened YouTube and saw the newest upload from the company, the eldest rapper retreated into his shell and avoided everyone so he couldn’t see their reactions to whatever response the fans had to the new content.
One of Yoongi’s biggest fears was that their fans wouldn’t like the new music they put out, but isn’t that every artist’s fear? When Yoongi thought of hell, he thought of brokenhearted expressions on his band members’ faces and a gaping hole in his own heart.
This time was a little different than usual as it was Yoongi’s comeback trailer releasing - his first since BTS had blown up on an international level. He was always brutally honest about his feelings in his songs, and this time was no different, perhaps he’d even shown a bit more of himself than before.
This time, Yoongi didn’t just turn off his phone and hide, he took it a step further and locked himself up in his studio.
When midnight struck and his relentless refreshing of the BigHit YouTube page finally updated with the new upload, Yoongi had shut the window on his laptop, definitely not letting out a little squeal as his heart began to pick up speed in his chest.
The rapper tried his best to distract himself with his music (like he typically did) but his hands were beginning to shake and his ears felt a little like they were stuffed full of cotton.
What if the fans hated the new song? What if they were disappointed that it was him that got the spotlight in the comeback trailer this time and not one of the others? He put his inner thoughts into the lyrics and what if the fans were disgusted by them?
Besides all his own personal insecurities, he knew it would be difficult to live up to the standard of Namjoon’s comeback trailer from the year before that had received so much praise and set everyone’s expectations for the next one even higher.
Yoongi was frantically clicking away at his keyboard and mouse with still shaky hands, the new beat he was working on ringing throughout his studio. It still wasn’t loud enough to cover his heartbeat pounding in his ears, but it was something.
A distant knocking began invading Yoongi’s thoughts, getting louder and louder the more he focused on it, and eventually, he realized that someone was knocking insistently on his studio door.
He blinked and glanced away from his computer screen, belatedly realizing that his eyes were dry and stinging - a familiar feeling that came when he’d been staring at one place for far too long.
“I know you want to be alone, Yoongi-hyung,” Hoseok’s familiar voice came, muffled through the door between them. “But you’ve been in there for nearly twenty hours and you won’t respond to any of our texts to make sure that you’re okay.”
Twenty hours? Had Yoongi really been in there for that long? No wonder his stomach hurt; no doubt he was hungry.
The rapper’s body began moving on its own, getting up and walking over to open up the door.
Hoseok stood there in dark track pants and a gray sweatshirt, his dark brown hair mostly covered by a black beanie. He looked surprised when he came face to face with his hyung, most likely not expecting him to open up the door so easily, but a lively smile took over his expression quickly.
“There you are!” he exclaimed, “Your eyes look bloodshot. How long have you been staring at the computer screen for?” The dancer walked past Yoongi and made himself comfortable on the older’s plush sofa.
“Approximately twenty hours apparently,” Yoongi replied, his voice raspy from disuse.
Hoseok pulled the older by the arm to sit down beside him on the couch and gave him a knowing look. He, probably more than anyone, knew the inner workings of Min Yoongi’s mind.
Yoongi felt himself wanting to blush at the vulnerability he felt but held it back desperately. Judging by the growing fond quirk of the younger’s lips, he wasn’t successful. Curse his ridiculously pale skin for showing any color so easily.
“They love it,” Hoseok said suddenly, catching the other off guard.
Yoongi blinked, confused, “What?”
“I know that you’re always afraid of what the fans are going to think of our music, hyung,” Hoseok reached out and touched the older’s forearm assuringly, “They love your song. It’s already got over sixteen million views and the comments are overwhelmingly positive.”
Yoongi felt out of breath still, his heart fluttering like a bird in his chest. “Yeah?” he breathed.
The dancer grinned, “Yeah.”
A wave of relief went over Yoongi, so astounding that it made his head feel light, airy. It wasn’t really surprising that he slipped into littlespace in just a few seconds. “ARMY like Yoonie’s stuff,” he stated, his voice soft and a bit higher in pitch than Big Yoongi’s.
Hoseok eyes widened a bit, delighted, “Of course they do, baby. Your music is always filled with so much passion and honesty, there’s no way it couldn’t be good.”
If Big Yoongi was kind of shy, Little Yoongi was the absolute epitome of the word. His cheeks didn’t just dust with pink, they became completely stained in a dark red. His bright brown eyes evaded the other’s gaze as he let out a quiet whine at the praise.
Perhaps the lead dancer enjoyed the bashful expression of his normally composed hyung a bit too much, but he was always a pretty shameless person.
“Now, why don’t we go back to the dorm and grab some dinner,” Hoseok suggested, “You’re probably pretty hungry, huh bub? I bet you didn’t eat at all since yesterday.”
The still-blushing little shook his head vigorously and pouted out his lower lip, noticing for the first time that his stomach really did feel achingly empty. “Yoonie didn’t.”
Hoseok felt too much love filling his heart at the sight of his baby pouting cutely and looking up at him with big eyes. “After we get some food in that tummy of yours, we can see about watching a movie with the others before bed.”
Yoongi gasped quietly, his mouth turning a round ‘o’, “C-Can Yoonie and Daddy and hyungies w-watch Little Mermaid?”
Like any of them could look at Yoongi with his big, sparkling eyes and cute little pout and say no to him.
Hoseok chuckled, “I think that can be arranged.”
--------------------------------------
“Okay, we can all agree that Eric is the best Disney prince, right?” Seokjin inquired as the credits of The Little Mermaid began rolling.
He received a few hmm’s in reply.
“He’s sexy as fu-fudge,” Jimin said, nearly cursing in front of the little (Jungkook snorted at his slip up and received a firm kick in the shin in return).
“He’s also really nice,” Taehyung added.
“I don’t know,” Namjoon pondered, his thumb and forefinger holding his chin as he thought seriously about it. “Eric was so easily manipulated by Ursula.”
“She cast a spell on him!” Jungkook argued, “That’s not his fault.”
Hoseok turned to look at Yoongi, who had been suspiciously quiet for the last few minutes. The little was perched on his lap, dressed in his orange kitten onesie and his favorite baby blue blanket bunched up in his arms. “Well, what do you think, baby? Do you like Prince Eric?” the lead dancer asked.
Everyone’s attention was immediately on the gray-haired male who blinked up at them all with wide eyes. He had a blue pacifier with a little dinosaur on it stuck between his lips, bobbing with the motions of his mouth. Yoongi didn’t make any effort to respond.
“Aigoo,” Hoseok hummed, running his hand through Yoongi’s hair. “I think our Little Yoongi has slipped to Baby Yoongi.”
Taehyung and Jimin squealed excitedly and immediately ran from the room to get some of Baby Yoongi’s favorite toys. It wasn’t often that Yoongi allowed himself to slip so much and none of them were going to pass up the opportunity to play with him.
Namjoon, who was sitting beside Hoseok and Yoongi, let the baby grab onto his hand and begin playing around with his fingers curiously.
Jin moved to turn off the movie and changed it to play some cute children’s show.
Jungkook cleaned up the leftover remnants of their pizza, stacking up the empty boxes and taking them to the kitchen. He returned and sat himself down in front of Hoseok’s feet, leaning against the older’s legs so he could watch Yoongi’s bright and innocent expression.
“He must have been so anxious today to slip all the way into babyspace,” the maknae commented.
Namjoon hummed in agreement, “Yeah, well, Yoongi put a lot of himself into that song. It’s always nervewracking to share something that gives everyone a glimpse into your heart.”
“It’s an amazing song, though,” Jin added, “And ARMY, of course, loved it a lot.”
“Of course they did,” Hoseok said, his hands running easily through the little’s gray locks. “ARMY loves it when we’re honest, it helps them relate to us even more than they already do.”
“I can leap in the air, but also plunge,” Jungkook quoted, “That lyric really captures what it feels like whenever we release something new. It’s like we’re taking a risk, jumping off a building and praying that we’ll fly instead of fall.”
Namjoon smiled a small understanding smile and said, “And even though ARMY loves us, and we know that they do, there’s still that fear deep inside of all of us that this is the time they’ll hate us.”
It was quiet for a moment as they all thought about just how true that was.
Yoongi made some babbling noises on Hoseok’s lap, drawing everyone’s attention towards him once more. The little baby was frantically moving Namjoon’s hand up and down in the air with his own, giggling cutely behind his pacifier.
The others couldn’t help but grin fondly at the action.
Jimin and Taehyung came bursting back into the room at that moment, brandishing armfuls of coloring books and crayons, as well as countless baby toys.
Yoongi’s eyes lit up even more if it were possible and he sat up straighter in Hoseok’s lap. His hands reached out towards all the toys with cute grabby hands.
“What do you want to do first, baby?” Jimin asked, the smile on his face so big that it nearly made his eyes disappear.
Not being able to properly answer, Yoongi reached for the specific toy he wanted, tucked under Taehyung’s left arm.
The second youngest happily pulled out the familiar toy and handed it to the little, “Of course our little Yoongi wants the piano!”
Yoongi set the small toy piano on his lap hastily and began hitting randomly at the rainbow-colored keys (though there were only six of them). The notes rang through the living room as all attention was on him. He finished his performance after a few moments and looked up at the others expectantly.
They all burst into cheers and clapping, praising the little. Taehyung leaned over and ruffled at Yoongi’s hair while Jin pinched his cheek and cooed.
“I think that might be our next hit!” Namjoon exclaimed, chuckling.
“Our next BIG HIT!” Jin added.
There was a pause where they were all registering what their oldest hyung had said, and then there were groans filling the air.
Jin was laughing heartily at his own joke, “Get it? Because our company is Bi-”
“Yes, hyung, we get it,” Jungkook deadpanned, cutting his hyung off.
Hoseok, Namjoon, Jungkook, and Taehyung all looked mildly embarrassed while Jimin let out his squeaky giggles alongside Jin’s infamous windshield wiper laugh. Little Yoongi didn’t really understand what was going on and eyed them with big, innocent eyes.
“Alright!” Jimin stood up and clapped his hands together excitedly once he gathered himself, “Who wants to do some finger painting?”
“Um, I’m not sure that...” Namjoon started.
The leader cut himself off when once Jimin picked up the paints and Little Yoongi finally understood what was going on. The little squealed and began bouncing on Hoseok’s lap elatedly.
They all knew how much Little Yoongi liked to finger paint, but they also knew how messy he was while creating his masterpieces. However, looking at how happy Yoongi was, there was no way they could say no to him. 
“I’ll get the tarp,” Jin sighed and stood up from the chair, half resigned and half fond.
“I’ll dig out our painting clothes,” Jungkook added, looking nearly as excited about painting as the little.
None of them said anything, but it was clear as day in each of their thoughts; the inevitable post-painting wreckage and clean-up were worth it if meant their Yoongi smiled so brightly like that. They’d do anything for their Yoongi.

A/N: I felt like I kind of ended this abruptly but what’s new.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this <3

bestfriend!nctdream
Mark Lee
yall wouldn’t spend every single day together. In fact, the time shared together wouldn’t be too much. But you know you can always depend on each other with any matter. Like when your parents were arguing and you’d came over to his, he let you sleep over in his PJs without even questioning. or when you’d do badly on a test so he’d come over with snacks to binge watch Disney movies. Or that time your shirt ripped open and he’d take off his hoodie and let you wear it for however long you wanted. “You actually look good in these hoodies”
Tumblr media
Huang Renjun
you’d be over at his house or he over at yours every other night. You’d bring the snacks while he prepared the many many series of conspiracy theories or thriller movies and usually you’d then end up passing out on the couch or on the rooftop, just lying there, staring at the stars while still talking about the possibilities of a UFO kidnapping you right then and there. both your parents lowkey ship yall together. hard. “But hey, if a UFO really kidnaps you, tell them to come pick me up too”
Tumblr media
Lee Jeno
you are his no.1 hypeman. As a member on the basketball team, he’d have matches quite often and you’d always be there to cheer him on and sometimes when there’s an after-party, he’d have you go as well because he loves your company. It was like you were lowkey on the basketball team yourself. Even during practice, you’d come by with a cool drink for him and he’d either sit and talk with you or actually teach you to play basketball. it’d mostly end up with you embarrassing yourself but he’d always carry you up and spin you around anyway “You’re so nonathletic it’s cute”
Tumblr media
Lee Donghyuck
yall did NOT get along from the get-go. As a matter of fact, you had this mutual hate that was so aggressive sometimes. but at one point, you both started bonding during detention. He annoys you but hey, you’re just as annoying. And I kid you not when I tell you that you two became a duo from hell since then. Yall were known as the double trouble. every other kid wished to hang out with you and every other teacher just hated you. The times when you both climb the fences to ditch school just to piss off some teachers are WILD “I’m telling your parents you made me ditch literature again...unless you let me copy your homework”
Tumblr media
Na Jaemin
people always wonderl whether yall were just besties or a couple, because it was hard to tell. Jaemin is very touchy. So even with you, he tends to show a lot of skinship. Holds your hand on the way home, unconsciously has an arm draped around your shoulder or waist. Sometimes you’d be having a convo with someone and he was just there, back-hugging you, waiting for you to finish so yall can walk home together. “Hug me~ I’m cold~”
Tumblr media
Zhong Chenle
yall are a handful, I tell you. Whenever you are together, you are loud and full of laughs. He truly loves hanging out with you because he gets a sense of carefree-ness. You’d laugh together at dumb jokes, each adding on more and more to the joke to the point where you’d be rolling on the ground, unable to contain your laughs. Mimicking random people you knew was also a part of your everyday hangouts and boi do they get loud. goose goose “yukhei called winwin a fat boi AHhaHAahahAH!!!”
Tumblr media
Park Jisung
he trusts your judgement so much he’d always ask for your opinion on the littlest of things. He’d ask you what ice cream flavor is the tastiest, what shirt he should buy, which answer he should circle on that multi-choice math test. Yall would study together at his house a lot, though it would most of the time end up with you studying and him just sitting there being your mental support.or the both of you would end up playing games and worry about about the test when it comes. “How about I make you some hot chocolate and you let me cheat off your test tomorrow? ”
Tumblr media
Which bestie would YOU want???? I want me a bestfriend!nctdream okay? I need to have a donghyuck or chenle best friend to spice up my life cuz damn, I’m slowly rotting from boredom. But then again having a chill mark bestie would be so nice toooo!!!

TroS reaction (1st view)
Necessary premise in bullet points:
- I liked TFA when it came out and still do but as I dug into the franchise/canon (Disney only by choice) my enjoyment of it became more lukewarm. Came out of it dreading a potential Reylo but liking the two charas on their own. 
- went into TLJ worried I’d hate it, came out with it being my favorite saga movie and sold on the Rey-Ren connection, whatever road it would’ve taken. Loved the “Rey’s powerful on her own/bc the Force wants to set Kylo’s wrongs right”. It felt good after two years of being bombarded with “this fucking Mary Sue can have any power only if she’s connected to powerful men of the saga, she has otherwise no right in being powerful” in forums spaces.    
- went into TroS non-spoiled, wary of Palpatine return but relatively hopeful if soured about the “JJ our lord and saviour pleease save us from evil evil Jonhson” (HA!). The rumors about lore from the tv series being featured into the movie had me excited.  
That said, here goes: [SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE MOVIE, ENDING INCLUDED, RIGHT OFF THE BAT]
I didn’t like it. I really hope to warm up to it more in future views, there’s absolutely stuff I liked or even loved, but as it stands now it was overall a massive disappointment on many sides and -worst of all- threatens to retroactively ruin my enjoyment in other previous stories. 
First, the positives: 
- Parentage notwithstanding, Rey was good. Her rage, her fears, her good heart, her commitment to the fight and the training, her longing for guidance… truly, if the bloodline revelation hadn’t retroactively ruined my investment in the character and themes I’d have fully, 100% loved her even if every single other part of the movie had been the same. 
Except for a brief war flashback to Starkiller game abilities (I lolled) I wasn’t even troubled by all the new abilities or their scope. Movies’ been inventing new powers since the beginning and the Force does what the Force wants. Again, fuck the genetics “twist”, garbage stuff. 
- Kylo, next to… 95% that involved him? TLJ did a great job selling him to me and surprisingly this movie added to that instead of retconning it away. More competent but still stupid and petty from time to time. I’m glad he came back, glad he choose right and glad he was allowed more time on the right side than Anakin. I love redemptions and he was portrayed as wavering the entire trilogy, I don’t even really care that it could’ve done better. I’m happy for him and his family, that’s all. The kiss got a laugh out me but not a malicious one, I was kind of running out of reasonable reactions by then. 
I’m just conflicted on how I feel about his death. Back when TFA was released I wanted him to survive to face what Anakin didn’t: justice (the kid-friendly setting prevented a death sentence anyway), atonement and growth from there, I still wish it happened and maintain that a different pacing would’ve allowed it. On the other hand, I’m also kinda okay with him dying. He righted at least a bit of his many wrongs, he saved a person he cared for, that his parents cared for and that could help the galaxy much more than he ever could and he was at peace. It was a good death.      
- Kylo’s vision/illusion of Han. A surprise but a very pleasant, well acted one. Would’ve I maybe liked Anakin more, as Ben idolized him so much and for all the wrong reasons and because I love that disaster? Yes. Does Han work much better in the economy of the movie and trilogy story and do he and Ben have a much rawer relationship and history? Absolutely. I am a teeny tiny bit baffled as  for why Luke didn’t also show up, but the actual scene was good enough I forgive it.  
- Rey and Kylo bond and connection was one of the saving graces of this mess and I utterly loved it. Both actors worked their asses for for all their scenes and it payed off, oh if it payed off. Their DSII duel was perhaps a tad long but great nonetheless (Republic era Jedi jumps!), the hurt and the sense of absolute loss and grief they both conveyed -and shared!- after Leia’s passing was incredible, Rey regretting the near kill and softly going “I would have stayed, had you renounced the dark side”. She cared, yes, but not to the point of ignoring the horrors (something Anakin never quite understood). The “dyad” stuff was a bit overkill, just call it a force bond, we can see it’s freaking powerful, but the Force Skype and sharing of objects that came with the package, that I loved. Surprise lightsaber, Ren fuckers! :D Bet Anakin and Obi Wan were really jealous, that would’ve come in handy during the war.       
- Finn was now fully invested in the cause, at ease, visibly happy to be with his friends, ready to bond and reach out, quick to plan, to act and to adapt to the situation, brave but cautious and calculating. I wish it was given a bit more focus, but I loved he found other young FO defectors. Also fuck yeah, he’s force sensitive and his ability is used, not just thrown in as a useless wink. Jedi Finn in future material, c’mon!
- Poe’s also grown. He was probably going to have more screen time with Leia had Carrie not died but there was nothing to be done for that. I’m not as happy as for previous 3 charas for the backstory retcon I’ll tackle in the negatives.
- Jannah was cool, the addiction of other FO defectors a welcomed one and the scene were she and Finn excitedly went over their “I broke free” moment was adorable. Good bean, I’d read more about her and her company. 
- A bit lot annoyed at Bloodline being kinda tossed outta the window but getting Leia with lightsaber was nice. Give me some ancillary material to deal with the clash and I’ll fully forgive it. 
- Jedi! MY GIRL AHSOKA MY MAN KANAN! I mean, I sure wish they were in a better movie, but hey, recognition for something more than the OT? No slandering of the Order but all of them collectively kicking Sidious ass once and for all? I’ll gladly take it. Anakin, my dude, I’m sorry your sacrifice was next to nullified but it was good to hear you again ;_;  I didn’t hear Ezra’s voice anywhere so I can still hope he’s alive, well and with the Ascendancy teaching all their Navigators. “I am all the Jedi” remains a terrible line. 
And now, oh boi. Here comes the long list of annoying - bad - stinking shit stuff: 
- If I wanted to watch a 2 and half long videogame cutscenes I’d have done that in the comfort of my home without spending money for tickets. Go to level x to retrieve related macguffin, move to next level to get next macguffin and so on and so on. I liked close to everything in the DS II sequences, but what would’ve that dagger pointed at if the wreckage had fallen even a little bit differently?   
In general, many plot points gave me the feeling they were stolen from the tv series and badly executed, like a mockery (or incompetence?). Case in point: Hux betraying the 1st Order out of personal, spiteful hate? Potentially good! The execution? A poor man’s Rebels Agent Kallus, already over in little more than 5minutes. 
- Palpatine himself is a poorly, ridiculously poorly executed Maul resurrection storyline from tcw and rebels. 
Because Maul was 1. explained and 2. got a good, long arc that made you forgive the undoubtably contrived ass-pull it took to bring him back while Sidious is just… there. You gotta accept it because the writer said so. 
How did he survive? We don’t know and fuck you if you expect an explanation (they really had the absolute galls to have him say the iconic/meme line from Rots and apparently it was supposed to be enough?!) How could he “have all Sith reside inside me” when canon’s clear that Sith do-not-get-to-retain-their-individuality-in-the-Force, do not work well together (lmao) and he as an individual never gave a shit about the Sith except when they could serve his own personal desires? His entire approach to the rule of two and other Sith stuff is “fuck that noise, everything in the galaxy exist to serve me”. He’s fine dying as long as “the Sith rule”? Who IS this character, because he’s not Darth Sidious (as presented in Disney’s own canon, mind). Oh, you wanted explanations? FUCK YOU, screams the movie. 
The mess gets somehow salvaged in the end as he comes to his senses and siphon the life out of Rey and Ben to de-rotten/revive himself to rule in person, now *that* was in character. Was he actually lying his ass off the entire time waiting for the moment he could siphon them? Hopefully but who the hell even knows.
In the end it just wasn’t worth bring him back. A holocron, a different Sith, even a hive-mind of old records/tainted wraiths of Sith (perhaps wearing Palps face to buy the old empire aficionados loyalty, idk) would’ve been better than “actually, Anakin suffered nearly his entire life and sacrificed himself for barely more than 25 years of peace and it still wasn’t enough to rid the galaxy of the monster who destroyed his and countless other lives”. But Johnson was the one shitting on beloved characters legacy and accomplishments, uh? Surely at least he’s got company. 
Ian was clearly having a blast, so there was… that? And the initial sequence being legit creepy and the Sith storm or whatever the fuck was that. That can stay, it was cool.     
- Poe, the latino character, got retconned from former Republic pilot (a backstory established before TFA came out and faithfully respected ever since) into a smuggler and gang member. Classy. What does Lucaslfilm have a story group for if not for stopping stuff like this from happening? Bonus Zorii being used for a “no homo! homo? no homo?” wink wink and for generally being a poor man Solo’s Qi’ra.   
- The movie makes you worry for a character death three (3) times in a row only to immediately backpedal on it. The survivors are grieving, the scene is sober… and then suddenly! they’re alive! isn’t it wonderful? let’s insert a comical scene now that we’re at it! Sigh.   
- The whole Threepio stuff was a contrived waste of time in a movie already full of more relevant plot treads that could’ve put that screen time to better use. 
- Rey’s parents apparently aren’t assholes anymore bc they sold her into slavery to protect her from Sidious, which is… supposed to make it alright, a sacrifice in the name of love? If they had been shown trying to give her to a trusted person and then she was kidnapped that wouldn’t had been their fault, just unfortunate, but the movie shows them leaving their 5yo daughter with her in-all-but-name slaver so?? 
- Rey Palpatine… Rey. Palpatine. Gesù Cristo benedetto che minchia mi è toccato di vedere. That hurt. That was so hilariously over the top bad I just…I started laughing. On top of the entire thing, thank you so, soo much for validating all those fucking assholes who demanded Rey be connected to a powerful man in the saga to accept her powers and value, you hack. Jedi were never about power of blood and then you went and reinforced the very opposite. She ain’t powerful bc the Force recognized her as worthy to stop evil and chose to aid her anymore, she’s powerful bc grandfather was. Lovely stuff. Hilariously, now she has a lot more legit “Mary Sue” traits than before. 
- Rose’s sidelining was a blatant bow to her and her actress haters whims. If in VIII she jumped at the chance of action, now she was fearful and “had to stay behind” studying maps. Fuck that noise. 
- Even if she rejected it, underline is that the Skywalker line is wiped out and the Palpatine one thrives. I… just… wtf wtf wtf. A final “Just Rey” would’ve been more powerful -because now it would’ve been reclaimed- and less corny and in poor taste than a Palpatine taking on the Skywalker name. I’m not sure if Sidious is more offended or if he’s laughing his ass off in space!hell. Probably the 2nd. Bad.      
- The final scene on Tatooine. It rang so empty because the planet brings warm memories only to the audience, not the characters. In-universe, that place brought nothing but misery to the Skywalkers: Anakin and Shmi were brought there as slaves and lived as such for years, Shmi was tortured to death and Anakin began his descent into the dark for crying out loud. Luke had to hide and saw his relatives murdered. Leia had no connection whatsoever to the place. The mera idea of burying Anakin Skywalker lightsaber into the sands of Tatooine and considering it a way of paying respect is… I don’t know, hilariously in bad taste? Rey, dear, what did you have personally against the guy? Put those sabers to rest on Naboo! Ah, but we can’t truly acknowledge the PT now, can we? Wack.   
- It’s not TroS complete fault, that “honor” mostly sit at TFA’s feet but for all its omages, copies and almost slavish references, from a in-universe point of view it’s like the OT barely occurred. 
The same evil man has been defeated (until next time?), the Republic must be rebuilt from scratch, a evil military is all over the place and must be dealt with, the Jedi Order has to be rebuilt… it’s depressing. A new evil taking advantage of the empire leftovers would’ve been one thing, but Sidious? He’s been effectively winning nonstop ever since he was elected Chancellor. He had all the power, all the influence, all the control and he maintained it all even as a rotten corpse in exile, the entire galaxy marching on his tune, controlled by his strings. And as the cherry on top of the cake he even managed to wipe out the family that could’ve, should have been his undoing! He effectively destroyed the Skywalkers. He outlived every Jedi, every survivor, every clone. I hate this. It’s sickening. I can’t even be happy Rex was on Endor anymore.      
In general, the best word I can find for this movie is: coward. 
So blatantly desperate to please, to be “forgiven”, to reference every single irrelevant thing -except the PT and the TV series in a intelligent way-, to throw fanservice after fanservice after fanservice no matter how nonsensical from all over that crossed the “corny” to wander into embarrassing territory many times over (Maz giving Chewie a medal outta nowhere? Come the fuck on now). 
The cartoon series had twenty time the guts of this movie and I vehemently wish for Filoni to take the helm of the entire creative team in a very near future.

(People asked me to post my analysis about Bendy Land being a reality in New York, and I’ve had this in my drafts since December so it’s very out of date, especially since the Employee Handbook sorta confirmed that it was in development before JDS went bankrupt. Everything bold is new information, everything without it is the old info I was working on at the time before I got annoyed with myself for making this post
Make of it what you will, I overthought stuff from one chapter of the freaking game. Enjoy.)
-- I was looking through the Bendy wiki for images for Joey’s apartment, just to see the contents of his cork board, when I really took notice to something.
Tumblr media
There are tickets for Bendy Land pinned to the board.
Now, I was discussing this little theory/idea with my friend the other day, what if Bendy Land had actually been a reality, not just an idea that had been stopped in it’s tracks due to a lack of budget.
Under the cut is a bunch of ideas as to what would have been the causes for the park to go under if it were a reality in the world outside of the studio, and why it could have helped in Joey Drew Studios’ bankruptcy. 
Now, if Joey HAD the budget to make Bendy Land a reality, obviously it would have to be within an easy access drive to the studio. So it would be located in New York, or at least within a decent driving distance to Brooklyn, if that is where the studio is supposedly located (don’t quote me on that). Turns out it is in NYC so I have that going for me
Okay, that’s not too bad, right? Well, that would mean the park would have to be a seasonal amusement park, the cold weather wouldn’t do it any good and people don’t really want to go to a theme park during a New England winter. That’s not a problem, there are a lot of parks that operate during warmer months up in this region (Coney Island being a good example), but Joey will have to deal with the upkeep during the winter, and that’s not always cheap.
You gotta pay to keep the rides from being damaged by the weather and vandals, you gotta make sure you’re prepared to open when the operating season opens, usually in May (a lot of seasonal parks open around Memorial Day). Could Joey afford this? Possibly, if he cares enough to deal with such a big oversight.
Then you have to consider sponsors, they help to pay for A LOT of content and material in parks. Disneyland was practically built on the money it got from all the sponsors that signed up with the parks. That means Joey would probably get money from Briar Label and GENT, which would make sense as to why there are official Bendy posters that show the sponsorship and why we see the brands all over the studio.
It’s possible that a lot of the money for the studio in general came from these companies. And I was right
And, of course, whatever Bertrum contributed.
After all, this was his magnum opus project! He was going to build one hell of a park!
Now we have a problem with this.
Bertrum says in his tape before you fight him that it was to be the largest park ever built. Hoo boy, there’s a big load of problems with that. 
A seasonal park that’s deemed to be that impressively large is going to fail, big time. There is no way that a park only open for a short time (usually from May to October) will not have the budget to keep running for the next season that well.
From what we see of Bertrum’s ideas, both drawn and being worked on, this project was MASSIVE. The park is huge in size from what we see with the model and designs. It looks like it would have had a large number of rides, attractions, ect. It even has it’s own railway, with actual trains!
Look, I’ve been to so many theme parks in my life, 95% of them ARE seasonal and none had full-on train engines that big. Those are practically real engines, not the small ones you normally see at amusement parks. 
There is obviously a lot of work and money put into this, and I can see why Grant went off the deep end from trying to crunch the numbers.
From Bertrum’s second tape, it clearly sounds like the park had actually been built (though in-game it appears to still be in construction), so from what we’ve seen in Storage 9 shows just a sample of what the real-world park had to offer. And judging by the giant Bendy arm in the room with the Butcher Gang... there was a lot going on.
I think the park may have ran well in its first year or two, but Joey’s spending and lack of budgeting clearly had an impact on the life of the park, and the studio.
Disneyland did well, even after the disastrous first day, because it was clearly built to adapt to new changes, it had so many sponsors and backing, and it was built in California, where it’s got way better weather to allow it to stay open all year around.
Bendy Land may have been built in a good area for just warm months in New York, but clearly from what we’ve seen with the actual Bendy cartoons, the park was probably not built to adapt to changing eras. Bendy in the cartoons is still straight up stuck in 1929 with animation. At the point of time that I assume Bendy Land would have started construction (1935-1945, a time when amusement parks were beginning to see a boom, especially AFTER the war when families were spending more time together for vacations), it was rare to find cartoons still being done in black and white, most animations studios had already shifted into using color to keep up with the competition.
But this is Joey we’re talking about, the man clearly liked to think big, but only with what he could work with. 
And now we’re gonna talk in bold cause that’s where I stopped.
So basically, the book pretty much states that the studio went bankrupt and Joey’s projects came to a halt, but this post is still about the reality of if Bendy Land became a real thing, so let’s stick with that mindset.
I feel like Joey would waste too much of the money the studio was making on the park, on trying to keep it running and functioning during the months it’s open. Clearly, this will cause issues for the studio itself.
Budgets would be slashed something awful, you’re practically working for next to nothing cause your paycheck is going into making sure some kid can get a Bendy toy from a carny.
And would Bendy still be popular? Would he and his friends still have an impact on the people? 
During WWII, if you didn’t do propaganda cartoons for the US, you were S.O.L. for your studio to stay afloat. A lot of studios who were doing decently at the time suffered for not ‘doing their patriotic duty’, which wasn’t their faults, they weren’t getting the money or viewership. Didn’t help that a lot of staff members were deployed.
Obviously the novel shows that the studio stuck around for a while, maybe they made some shorts, or Joey bribed to have Bendy cartoons play alongside Private Snafu shorts or Donald Duck episodes. I’m getting distracted, but still, the studio somehow stuck around so Bendy would still be known.
But let’s also take into account that a lot of studios have had parks themed on characters before. Hanna-Barbara has had a number of parks based on the Flintstones (that all failed), Japan has had parks based on their own characters, and English book characters, that all failed or aren’t as popular as Disney yet still kinda draw in crowds.
Bendy Land would probably last for about five or so years, give or take.
Seasonal parks are a risky move, you have to constantly make sure they are taken care of during the down seasons. You have to be able to attract big enough crowds each open season that bring in just enough money to keep going. You have to keep in good contract with sponsors or else you will lose money.
You have to have rides that people want to ride, you have to keep safety up, you have to pay your employees and give them decent privileges/bonuses/money that will want them to keep working there (Joey clearly wasn’t allowing that, according to footnotes from the handbook).
Also, you HAVE TO PAY THE CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE. Joey wasn’t really doing a great job with that either!
This park, if it had been finished, would have been the kick to the crotch during Joey’s downfall. Maybe he dodged a bullet with his studio going under, because it probably didn’t cost him as much as it would have if his theme park died on him (he could make back money by selling it/the rides, but that’s a whole other issue cause a lot of times... parks are straight up left to rot when no one wants them or their rides. Looking at you, Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, SC. You were a sad sight to see for a while when driving past to go to the boardwalk)
But yeah, this was just me rambling, like, this was just a huge thing about the idea of Bendy Land being a reality and how it really wouldn’t have been a huge success if it had been finished. Poor Bertrum, that would have been a huge pain in the ego.
Aaaaaannnnddd... that’s all I’ve got. I can’t think of anything else right now, but I’m very sure there’s more.
Anyway, thanks for listening to a guy with too much time to think about a fictional amusement park cause he spends too much time watching theme park history videos on youtube and overthinks about Bendy.

He’s Hurting Me
So this was an idea for a fic that I’ve had for a while, I wanted to post it once I’d written everything... but since Article 13/11 are going to be passed soon and will try to ban me from being creative and posting any fanfiction or fanart, I wanted to post what I’d done... and hopefully finish it.
part 1 | part 2 | part 3 
Summary: Patton, Roman, Logan and Virgil have been all been friends since high school, and though an unlikely group they’ve been with each other through everything. Now, they’re all adults, with jobs and responsibilities, but they’re still close. Though recently Patton’s been becoming more distant... While Patton faces struggles of his own in the present, every other chapter jumps back to the past and explains what the group has overcome, together. 
Based very very loosely on the song He’s Hurting Me by Maria Mena
Pairings: Prinxiety, lil’ bit of logicality... the ships are more in the background 
Warnings: None in this chapter, just a quick movie night with the bois
Part 1
Patton sat with his back leaning against the couch, one leg crossing over the other at the knee. He sighed deeply. He was so tired. He lightly pushed himself up, curling his legs up so he was sat cross-legged, and moved his glasses so he could rub his eyes with the heels of his hands. He pushed his hands to his head, running his fingers through his hair and glancing back up at the TV. It had been his turn to choose the movie this time, and he’d decided that after a long day at work, he wanted something light-hearted, so he’d chosen Tangled. Roman had been more than happy with his choice, immediately dashing over to his overwhelming collection of Disney films and finding it with ease.
Patton glanced behind him, looking onto the couch; Logan was to his left, sitting like a normal person, legs hanging over the edge of the couch, arm on the arm rest, even his posture remained impressive. Roman and Virgil… not so much. They were a mess of limbs, it was difficult to tell who was what, especially in the darkness of the room, but Patton was fairly sure Virgil was curled into Roman’s lap, the younger man’s legs pressing against Roman’s stomach. One of Roman’s arms was hooked around his boyfriend’s waist, the other was resting on his legs, occasionally moving in slow circles over Virgil’s knee. Patton noticed, as well, one of Virgil’s arms was draped across Roman’s shoulders, his hand resting in the other’s hair, ruffling it lightly. Both of them were intently focused on the movie, and Patton couldn’t help but smile gently. He was so proud, and happy for them, that they’d stayed together as long as they had, and that they still seemed as happy as they were at the start. Sure they fought, a lot, but it wasn’t normal people fighting, in fact, it wasn’t even fighting.
They were both polar opposites, Roman’s loud outgoing personality completely juxtaposing Virgil’s timid, introverted nature, they were destined to argue. And they did. Frequently. But it always felt like more of joke, they never seemed to be serious.
Patton was sure they must have had disputes, real disputes, where they questioned whether it was worth continuing, but they never let that side of them show. The worst argument he’d seen them have was over pineapple on pizza (“It doesn’t belong there Roman!”/”WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF ADVENTURE VIGRIL?!”) But all couples fought, it was normal. It was always scary. It always left you feeling like a hurricane inside. But you always realise how much they mean to you in the end. Patton was sure that happened to them too. And they always seemed so loving, and caring, and...right together. It gave him, well, hope. In a sense. The amount of care, trust, and love in their relationship, was something he aspired to. His relationship wasn’t quite at that level yet, but it hadn’t been going on for nearly as long, so he couldn’t expect that.
Patton got lost in thought again, he thought about all the things Virgil and Roman had gone through, how much they had changed, and how much they hadn’t. It was the same for all four of them. They had grown so much, changed so much, adapted, in a way, but they were still here, together, in complete happiness, watching Disney films together. Even this, their movie night tradition hadn’t changed, even if they usually had to ditch the onesies. Patton was slightly downcast at that, but he understood; every Friday, everyone would come straight from work, round Roman’s (and Virgil’s) and they’d chat, mess around, and watch a film. It became difficult to always bring onesies, not to mention driving home in one was unacceptable for Logan, so he’d only bring his if he planned on sleeping round. It was funny, thinking of them being kids again, relaxing after school, dreaming of the future, wearing an assortment of onesies. Now that had been replaced with work clothes, it had been replaced with the future they were dreaming of. For Logan, that was a black shirt and a tie, as a teacher he had to look presentable. He’d always been inquisitive and had a longing for knowledge, it only seemed reasonable to pass this knowledge on. Roman wore a white shirt, his favourite jacket thrown over the top, and black jeans; despite working at the same school as Logan, Roman had assured him several times; “Drama teachers don’t need to look smart, our job is fantasy, what good is a tie there?” Roman had always been into theatre and actually gotten pretty far, being in several shows, but now his main priority was teaching. He really loved working with younger, enthusiastic kids and giving them a place to truly express themselves. Virgil wore pretty much his normal outfit, black shirt, black ripped skinny jeans, and had obviously put on his favourite hoody as soon as possible. Virgil worked at a small antique store, it was quiet and the atmosphere was calm. The owner had taken a liking to him and made working there even better, it was funny but Virgil really did love his job. He didn’t want the pressure of teaching, or running his own company, and sure as hell didn’t believe in himself to put his work out there, but running a quaint old shop with sweetest elderly woman he’d ever met was incredibly appealing to him.
Patton looked down at himself; pale blue polo with a cardigan wrapped round his shoulders… he didn’t exactly have a dress code. He owned a coffee shop, and ran it with his brother, Thomas. It was doing strangely well, Patton had thought, and he really loved it. He and his brother had designed everything, it was something they could call theirs, and it was perfect. They’d filled it with plants, fairy lights, board games and rainbow pillows and blankets. The walls were covered in short motivational quotes, such as “Stay strong,” and “Keep going,” in beautiful cursive font and a faded watercolour background (courtesy of Roman.) It was small, friendly, if a bit cheesy, but people seemed to love it. Though no one more than Patton.
Patton sighed to himself again, feeling sentimental. His life was good now, it was better than good, great even. He ran a pretty successful business with someone he knew he could trust entirely, he had amazing friends who he’d been through so much with, he had a lovely house, and he had his loving boyfriend. Yet he felt in himself a longing deep in his heart, pulling him back to his high school years, forcing him to remember how all of this started. High school wasn’t the easiest time, yet for some reason remembering it felt so easy, it was comfortable thinking back on the nights they’d spent on group projects, times they’d gone to support Roman on his numerous shows, times he’d just sat and talked to Virgil for hours, times he and Logan would go for walks in complete ease. That felt so far away now, so far gone, he hadn’t been able to hang out with any of them individually for so long, he’d always have to cancel last minute if they offered. It was sad, Patton was sure their friendship would always be such a massive part in his life, but recently it felt like he was slipping away, fading out like a half forgotten memory or an old photograph. Even movie nights he usually had to leave early. He had to leave early.
Panic began surging through his chest, eyes going wide. What was the time?
He jumped out of skin when he heard his phone buzz, he immediately slammed his hand on it, frantically grasping at the sides and bringing it up to his face. A message brightly illuminated his screen, he should have been home ten minutes ago, his boyfriend’s name was displayed above his message:
Mike:
You’re late.
 Patton’s heart seemed to stop, how could he have been so stupid? He knew Miked hate it when he was late, still he did this. He’s probably so hurt, and worried, and upset. Patton felt the guilt and panic rot his insides, and a sickening feeling crawled up his throat. He felt like he couldn’t breathe. Guilt. That’s what this feeling is. Guilt.
Patton shot up, startling the others, pausing only a second to type out a reply, then immediately began frantically dashing about the room, grabbing his stuff and uttering apologies as he went.
“Guys I am so so sorry, but I’m late and- Oh God, I have to get going, I’m sorry again g-“
“Woah, woah, hold up.” Virgil stated, confusion eating his words. “It’s only,” He paused to quickly check his phone. “Patton it’s 7:40, you have to be back at 8, chill.”
“No, no no no no, Mi-We decided to change it, I’m meant to be home by 7:30, and you know how he gets about time.” The eldest rushed out.
“What? 7:30?! That’s barely anytime at all! We haven’t even had our deep chats yet! The film isn’t even finished yet!” Roman gestured dramatically towards the TV.
“Indeed. Patton, I understand you want to get home, but surely you can explain to Mike you want to finish the movie. That is what movie night is for. You aren’t a child anymore.” Logan interjected, but Patton was already shaking his head.
“I’m sorry guys, I really am, I’ll try and stay longer next week. Promise.” Patton called, already heading out the door.
“Patton! Wait!” Logan called, standing and following him to the door.
“I’ll see you Lo! See you guys!” The door shut, the cheery tone carrying the words felt somewhat hollow. Logan sighed heavily, letting his shoulders slump forward as he walked back.
Virgil was standing by now, and Roman sat bolt upright, almost lifting out of his seat. The tallest shook his head as he re-entered, running a hand through his hair, then straightening his tie.
“I’m really… worried about him. He’s spending less time with us, barely answers his phone, seems constantly on edge. He’s isolating himself, removing himself from his own life.” Logan sighed, falling back onto the couch.
“It’s not him though, is it?” Virgil growled, Roman saw the anger building up in his boyfriend, it was flashing in his hazel eyes. Roman gently wrapped an arm around Virgil’s waist, pulling him back into his lap, lightly rubbing circles on his arm to calm him.
“That is, a fair assumption.” Logan continued. “But he doesn’t see what’s happening, he doesn’t understand the level of control that parasite has on him.” His voice was almost a whisper, but it cut sharp, causing Roman to lift his eyebrows.
“How… What can we do?” Roman questioned. “He won’t listen to us, even if we tell him the truth. You know he won’t. He’s always been a romantic, any issue, he’s convinced he can conquer it. He’s convinced love will conquer it.”
There was silence as the three of them thought. Patton had pulled them all together. Created an environment they were all comfortable. Given them all a family of sorts. He’s practically rescued them; he’d cared for them when no one else had. He’d always been there for him...and now they can’t be there for him.
I really hope you like this! Any questions feel free to ask me, part 2 will be out very very soon.

some mistake, part 2
Thanks so much to everyone who’s been reading so far! I feel a little guilty since I know I won’t be finishing this any time soon, but anyhow, here’s some more anyway. Same general story warnings still apply (though none are really relevant for this section).
Derek makes it through another two weeks of school before it all gets to be too much again. He’s sitting in his room on a Saturday afternoon after practice, staring out the window at the treeline trying not to remember all the little needling comments that have been weighing him down all week. Even practice hadn’t really helped to lift his spirits and now he’s stuck in a post-lunch haze with nothing to do but his history assignment that’s already 80% done and not due til Tuesday. His parents aren’t going to call until after dinner, and he could go hang out with guys from the team but he’s in that weird kind of state where all he wants to do is mope near someone who cares enough to sit quietly with him and won’t ask any questions.
A cloud of birds unfurls from the forest canopy like smog over the sky, scattering in all directions, which is suspicious ‘cause he doesn't remember seeing a single bird while in there. Nor hearing any, either. There’s nothing in the woods besides Dex. It’s the weekend - might he be in the woods again?  He’d been pretty strange, but it’d been a welcome change from everyone on campus trapped in the same schedule and classes as Derek. And he seems like the type who wouldn’t mind Derek hanging around silently reading his book while he chops wood or goes fishing or whatever. But the forest is spread out over a substantial chunk of land, so they might not even see each other even if Derek goes looking. However, he has nothing better to do and there’s only one way to find out.
He’s more prepared this time, taking a small bag with him with some essentials: water bottle, compass, energy bar, flashlight. He leaves a note for his roommate to tell him he’s gone to the woods just in case he straight up dies for whatever reason and his parents descend on the school to demand answers.
Like last time, the forest is pleasant when he first enters, with sunlight filtering down on his face in scattered beams, and the sound of wildlife forming a white noise that helps him settle into a steady walking pace. No sign of Dex anywhere, though Derek isn't surprised.
There's a nice spot with a stump and even ground where Derek stops to read for a little while, and before he knows it, an hour’s passed, so he decides to head back before he tempts fate and gets trapped again. He'd been certain to go only west, so all he should have to do is reverse directions and head east until he hits the soccer field. Should be easy enough.
But after twenty minutes, during which he should have emerged already, he finds himself in the part of the woods where the plants are overgrown and thick around him, and the light has become more feeble and distant up above. He can still see well, but what he can see is nothing but trees. Again.
Still, this plan should theoretically work, insha’Allah, so he continues east, making sure to watch his compass carefully the whole time, which is probably how he winds up planting his foot firmly into a rotting log and getting caught in it. He doesn't realize he's pitching forward until his other leg is slipping out from under him and he lands hard in the dirt, some sort of weed already poking him in the cheek.
“Ughhhhhh, why,” he groans, letting his forehead drop to the ground. Maybe he'll just lie here for a little bit. Contemplate his lot in life.
A rustle in the leaves causes him to lift his head, and he spots a familiar redhead lurking up in the branches of an oak who jumps down to the forest floor with a sturdy thump. He’s not wearing his vest this time, but he still has his trusty lantern, hatchet, and scowl.
“Sup,” Derek calls, resting his chin on his arms and wondering if Dex remembers him.
“Nursey? Is that- is your leg stuck in a log?” Dex asks, and that answers that.
“That it is, Dex!” Derek replies brightly, waving at him from where he's still anchored to the ground.
Dex closes his eyes and steeples his fingers together as he takes a long breath, before he comes over and helps free Derek from his leg-trap. “What did I tell you about coming to the woods?”
“Not to, but-”
“Exactly. Because you’re a disaster.”
“Super rude, dude.”
“And yet, frighteningly accurate. C’mon, let’s get you home,” he sighs.
“Nah,” Derek says as he tightens the strap of his bag against his chest. “I think I'll stay here for a while.” Now that he's found some company, he's in no rush to return to his empty dorm.
“What? No!” Dex storms after him as he goes traipsing off. “It’s dangerous out here, you fuckin’ doofus.”
“Dex, I’ve been here for over an hour and there’s nothing in these woods more dangerous than my killer good looks.” Derek elbows Dex with a grin, wiggling his eyebrows when he receives nothing more than Dex turning apoplectically red in the face. “And!” he forges on, “even if we do run into some bandits or rabid cougars or whatever, I’ve got you! You’d punch a cougar for me, right?”
“Hell no. I can’t believe I’m not going to leave you out here to die,” Dex grumbles, more to himself than Derek, but he keeps walking alongside him anyway. “This way,” he says when they reach a tiny brook; it’s the first sign of water that Derek’s seen. How had he missed it the first time through?
Dex tries to herd him off to the left, away from the water, but Derek crouches down, watching the clear trickle of water running over the rounded, moss covered stones in the waterbed. He wants to reach out and feel the downy green softness against his fingertips, but something stops him from disturbing the fragile peace of the water, which carries on, flowing and constant. Dex seems relieved when he rises to his feet without touching anything, muttering something that sounds like “she’d’ve been pissed.”
Derek is unsuccessful in his pleas to follow the stream and find out what’s just around the riverbend; Dex tells him to knock it off with his Disney shit and hurry up if he doesn't want to get left behind. For all his complaining though, Dex never ditches Derek, even when he suddenly halts to examine the scarred pattern of bark on a tree, or to prod at the wildflowers peeking out from amidst the sea of tall grasses. Derek knows Dex must be leading him back toward school, so he wants to take in all he can before he gets banished back to school. He laments to Dex that he's never really seen anything like this growing up in New York City, and he doesn't want to miss out, but Dex just grunts and drags him away from the misshapen fungus he's hassling with his foot.
As expected, the foliage thins out the longer he walks with Dex, and soon enough he can see a clearing ahead past the edge of the wood. He prepares for another casual goodbye, but Dex turns abruptly, effectively checking Derek into a new direction, running parallel to the boundary of the woods.
“Whoa now,” Derek says as he almost loses his balance, but Dex steadies him and keeps moving. Soon, they come upon a worn patch of dirt that spirals downhill in a thin, almost invisible path; following it requires that Derek walk behind Dex, and they weave down until they reach flat land. The path continues on a few more yards, ending outside a towering, time-worn tree with a nest of thick, intertwined roots that partially hides the opening to the hollow at the bottom. Derek stares in awe as Dex clambers up and into the hollow before waving impatiently out at him.
“C’mon, I thought you wanted to see something cool.”
Derek doesn’t need to be told twice. He fits himself inside next to Dex, marveling at how oddly roomy it is. It’s uneven below him, some roots looping into the hollow and disrupting the dirt, but there’s something comforting about this space, tucked away at the end of a secret path, surrounded by low-growing leaves that drown the soil in bright, saturated green. He feels like a fairy tale runaway, or a forest spirit, hiding from thunderstorms, or humans. Protected from whatever lies in wait out in the real world. He turns to see Dex watching him, wearing some unreadable expression. It’s not annoyed, is all Derek can tell, so he grins and holds out a hand for a fistbump.
“Yo, this is the best thing I’ve ever seen, dude.”
Dex squints at his hand for a second, before he turns an endearing shade of pink and bumps Derek’s hand with his own fist. He sits and observes Derek feeling out the inside of the hollow, trying to memorize the feel of the hardened, ragged wood under his hands. There isn’t enough vertical space to stand without hunching over, but they might be able to squeeze even a third person in here.
“You can come here, if you want,” Dex says once Derek settles back down besides him. “It’s not too far from the outside. It should be safe.”
“Really? You’re gonna let me use your secret clubhouse?” he teases. He’s not gonna complain; this tree is the coolest hideout he can imagine. And while it’s not like Dex owns the woods or anything, he’s right to say that Derek keeps getting in over his head, so if Derek can figure out how to find a landmark, it’ll be a good launching point for further exploration.
“Like I said, it’s your funeral if you fuck around in the wrong part of the woods. But,” and Dex sighs, picking at a pebble embedded in the dirt, “I know you’re gonna keep wandering around no matter what I say, so you should at least know how to find something in the forest.”
“Thanks, Dex. You’re alright, for a feral forest child.”
Dex snorts, jabbing Derek with the toe of his boot. “You’re pretty damn persistent for a hipster nerd.”
“How’d you know I was a nerd?” Derek asks, surprised.
With an unimpressed huff, Dex lifts his hands for some vicious air quotes. “And I quote, ‘shit, it’s all like Mirkwood up in here.’ I’d’ve gone with Fangorn myself, but-”
“Seriously? And you call me a nerd?” Derek laughs, and then they’re fighting over where in Middle Earth would be the shittiest place to live, which warps into a discussion of which fictional world they’d choose to be transported into if they could.
They're still arguing about whether humans would actually bother to fly if they had the ability to when Derek realizes that Dex has brought him back to the edge of the soccer field.
“Are you just a klutz, or are you also directionally challenged?” Dex asks after he plants Derek right on the very end of the woods next to a thin birch. Derek never thought he was until his compass plan went so terribly wrong, so he shrugs helplessly, and Dex tacks on, “Outside of the forest, I mean. Rules are different in here.” When Derek confirms that yes, he can normally figure out how to follow directions, Dex pulls out a pocket knife and carves a small diamond into the bark. They walk straight back west until they hit the hidden dirt path they followed earlier, Dex telling him, “You’re in the outer ring, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Just do exactly what I just showed you, and you’ll be fine.”
“Find the birch, go west, follow the path, chill inside awesome tree. Got it.”
“Good.” Dex flicks a loose leaf off Derek’s shoulder before he sticks his hands in his pockets, his face turning serious. “Look, Nursey, I don’t know what your reasons are, and I can’t tell you not to keep coming back, but...you have a real life out there. Don’t forget that.”
“I know,” Derek protests, because how could he forget? Everything's always been too real for him, too many possible consequences and complications. It's why he spends so much time just trying to keep afloat. “But sometimes, I just need to- I need space.”
Dex looks sad, somehow, when he nods, and Derek doesn't know if it's for him, or something else. “Okay. Just, I dunno. Keep it in mind.”
In the quiet of the forest, under the dappled sunlight, Derek notices for the first time the worn threads on the hem of Dex’s shirt, the patched hole on the jeans that don't fit him quite right. The thick callouses on his palms and the letters KAP carved roughly into the handle of his hatchet. All the details that spell out a life that Derek knows nothing about.
You're real too, so why are you out here, he wants to ask, but he gets the feeling that he won't receive any answers. There’s a guardedness to Dex that Derek can’t break past. It curls around Dex like the long, spindling branches that catch on Derek’s jacket, as if the forest itself is concealing him in its depths, and Derek doesn't know the right way in.

Jimmy Kimmel's 35 Funniest Jokes From ABC's Upfront
New Post has been published on https://funnythingshere.xyz/jimmy-kimmels-35-funniest-jokes-from-abcs-upfront/
Jimmy Kimmel's 35 Funniest Jokes From ABC's Upfront
Jimmy Kimmel delivered a welcome respite from the nonstop network shilling, show promos and ratings spin during this year’s TV upfronts.
In keeping with tradition, the ABC late-night host took the stage at the Lincoln Center in New York on Tuesday afternoon to skewer his  network. He spared no one during the 15-minute set, taking jabs at all the other broadcast nets, Roseanne and Shonda Rhimes’ departure for Netflix.
He kicked off the set on a more serious note, however, addressing the reason he was absent during the 2017 presentation. “On behalf of my family, I want to thank you for the outpouring of support and well-wishes for my son,” he said, noting that his son Billy, who had heart surgery during last year’s upfronts is now a year old. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host then quipped, “You’ll be happy to know he’s doing much, much better than network television.”
Below, The Hollywood Reporter has compiled Kimmel’s best lines.
1. This year’s upfront is going to be a little different because this is our first ABC-Freeform presentation. I’ve been a big Freeform fan since, uh… 20 minutes ago when I learned what it was.
2. We have a new slogan this year at ABC: Forward Together. Hillary Clinton had a yard sale and she let us have that for almost nothing.
3. Somehow we have more people watching this upfront right now than most of our 10 o’clock shows.
4. I’m proud to say that unlike last year, we’re not in last place. I’m proud to say that honor belongs to Fox — I mean, New Fox. Now with jazz pods. What a week it’s been for you guys. NBC gave you jazz hands, Fox gave you jazz pods. Jazz pods sounds like something you’d use to wash leotards. But the reason Fox is calling them jazz pods is that they wanted to find a way [to offer] shorter commercial breaks and appropriate black culture at the same time.
5. Fox needs help. They canceled Lucifer and The Exorcist. They can’t even make a deal with the devil.
6. As you know, Disney, our company, is in the midst of negotiations to buy Fox. It seemed to be a done deal but then last week, Comcast did, like, the surprise ex-boyfriend who shows up on The Bachelorette right before she’s about to get engaged. Comcast shows up and weasels their way into our business. We got peacock-blocked is what happened. So now, it looks like there could be an epic bidding war. But mark my words, if there is a war, Bob Iger will prevail. He can just charge it to his Black Panther card.
7. How this will work if the sale goes through, nobody seems to know. All we know for sure is someone is buying Fox, the Murdochs are getting richer and everyone is redoing their kitchens with a motherfucking pasta faucet.
8. We have a lot riding on this merger. We can’t lose Fox and Shonda Rhimes in one year. As you know, Shonda has decided to part ways with ABC. She’s moving on and it’s a shame. Shonda is an amazing talent and person who changed the face of this network. Now that she’s leaving for Netflix, I can honestly say on behalf of everyone here at ABC who have worked with her for so long, we hope she rots in hell.
9. No, we’re very sad to see Shonda leave, but as the saying goes: When one door closes… you’re fucked.
10. So we’re saying goodbye to Shondaland and we’re going head-first into Roseanne-istan with no exit plan. Our bigly-ist hit of the year is Roseanne. Roseanne is the No. 1 show as you’ve heard repeatedly in total viewers and the demo. So everyone who says Hollywood is out of new ideas, we’re not; it’s just that one of our new ideas was to Google, “What were our old ideas?”  
11. No one at ABC expected Roseanne to be a big hit. Although, to be honest, we don’t expect any of our shows to be hits. But Roseanne‘s success proves that the older and crazier you are, the more today’s audience likes you. And that’s why we’re so proud to announce our new series, “Gary Busey Proves 9/11 Never Happened.”
12. Our new strategy is resurrecting old crap, and with that said I have three words for you: “Who’s the Boss?” I mean, literally — who the hell is running this network?
13. We’re not the only ones doing our greatest hits. Will & Grace; Fuller House; Murphy Brown is back at CBS. That’s right, CBS knows what millennials want and they’ll be damned if they give it to them. Maybe I shouldn’t say this but I have to admit, I’m kind of excited about Murphy Brown. I think it’s refreshing, really, to see anything brown on CBS.
14. NBC privately has been talking about rebooting The Cosby Show. But for obvious reason, they’re not going to call it that. They’re calling it “The Bad Doctor.”
15. We’re also recycling shows that other networks throw away. Fox is reviving canceled ABC shows; ABC and NBC are reviving canceled Fox shows. This is what’s known in the industry as a failure orgy. You cancel a show and it doesn’t even mean anything anymore.
16. Sometimes we have high hopes for a show and they don’t pan out. For instance, America will not see a fourth season of Quantico, in the same way they also didn’t see the second and third seasons of Quantico.
17. We canceled Deception, a show about a magician who used magic tricks to help police solve crimes, which is a shame because it was such a good idea.
18. We even canceled Marvel’s Inhumans. ABC did something remarkable with that. Somehow we managed to have the only unsuccessful project with “Marvel” in the title — ever. It had never been done before.
19. But look, this year is going to be different. This year is going to be so great.… That was a joke.
20. We’ve got three new comedies and five new dramas. And I should warn you, some of the comedies aren’t that funny. But some of the dramas are hilarious.
21. We also have a new reality dating show called The Proposal. The idea of this show is contestants compete to marry someone they haven’t met. It’s like The Bachelor without The Bachelor. I haven’t seen this yet but it sounds to me like this isn’t a dating show so much as it’s a thinly veiled sex-trafficking operation. The Proposal is actually very similar to these upfronts because you guys are opening your hearts, or wallets, to a slate of shows you know literally nothing about. Will they be good? Will they be terrible? You really won’t find out until you’re already fucked.
22. Nathan Fillion is back with a new cop show called The Rookie, which is great news if you were worried your Aunt Joanne wouldn’t be horny enough this fall.
23. We’re also picking up a show called Whiskey Cavalier. It took a while but we finally came up with a title that’s worse than Cougar Town. Whiskey Cavalier is described as a high-octane hourlong action dramedy that follows the adventures of tough but tender FBI super-agent Will Chase, whose code name is “Whiskey Cavalier.” Should we cancel it now or should we wait until you leave the room?
24. NBC is touting an all-Chicago Wednesday — Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD — all in one Chicago night. Hey NBC, I have an idea for a show. It’s called Chica-go to another fucking city already. You ever heard of Denver? They have a fire department, too.
25. NBC also says they’re cutting back on commercials. Their plan is to add 10 percent fewer ads on primetime. They need that extra time so Law & Order: SVU can have one more cab driver per episode who says, “The victim was a nice lady.”
26. Fox is cutting their commercial time, too. I mean, Netflix cut their commercial time down to none and they’re doing great, I guess. But everybody goes crazy binging all these programs. I’ll tell you something — maybe I’m old-fashioned but I don’t like watching a show straight through with no commercials. I need a break every nine minutes so I can breathe and learn about Chobani yogurt.
27. More people are streaming content than ever before. According to a new report from Nielsen, adults aged 25 to 54 watch two hours and 28 minutes of streaming content per day. What they don’t mention is that at least an hour of that is porn.
28. Young people are abandoning traditional television in droves. They’re not just cutting the cord, they’re eating the placenta. We are definitely not down with OTT. We need to bring these millennials back to television. Millennials, by the way, are the people responsible for the smell of strawberry vape smoke in every Uber. Those are the people we need back.
29. Millennials have no idea how good they have it with all these choices. We didn’t have choices. Remember when we didn’t give a shit what was on TV? Frasier again? Fine. What am I going to do, read?
30. But what they didn’t have back then was the ability to target specific types of viewers. Now, more than ever, we have so many ways to reach your customers. You’re going to hear a lot about “blockchain” this week. And here’s what’s important about it: Nobody has any idea what it is. You don’t know, we definitely don’t know — but what we do know is that we’re going to charge you up the ass for it.
31. Our technology gets more advanced every year. We are on the verge of having data that is so specific, you will be able to blackmail viewers into using your products. Imagine how many cases of Budweiser your customer will buy to stop you from revealing that they actually watch Man With a Plan.
32. If anyone in this room has used the words “retargeting,” “grand purpose” or “vertical anything” today, please raise your hand, stand up and walk out into traffic.
33. We promise you this: At ABC, our programmatic ad-tech attribution models are retargeting SSP using AI and omnichannel blockchain algorithms to offer hyperlocal content amplification with an optimized CTR and ROI that will make you S-H-I-T your P-A-N-T-S.
34. I don’t know what I just said but it seems to have resonated. Let’s be honest, this is all nonsense. Our ratings are going down and our price is going up. Too bad, eat it. We’re four years from having our brains digitally infused to our Instagram accounts, OK?
35. So here’s what I think we should do. Just let these stupid shows wash over us, clap politely and then let’s just get blackout drunk together. Our president is a lunatic and we’re all going to die. And if we keep this up, with these buzzwords, you know what it’s going to say on our headstones? It’s not going to say “RIP” anymore, it’s going to say “KPI.” You want that? I know I don’t. Let’s not do this again next year.

  This was a magnificently written episode by Michael Narducci and co-written by Michael Russo. We get a little bit of everything in this episode, vampires rising! (Elijah) We got amazing team-ups! (Freya, Hayley and Keelin too). The story told thru flashbacks of Marcel and Vincent and “What happened in NOLA in the last 5 years?” Klaus in captivity! (Not for long!) Oh, yeah the greenish-blue hoodoo on the walls scaring the beegezus out of poor little Hope! Where does one begin?
  Vincent’s Speech.
I found it quite contrived, histrionic and distributing, at this point in the game. He is giving a speech at the church to his coven. (Church and Witches never mixed to me?? How do you feel???) The Vampires have been around over thousands of years! “We will loose it forever.” The witches deserve respect but “Original Vampires and Original Hybrids” triumph witches. (SCORE TEAM OG!) Just as Vincent speaks of “Monsters” — the camera zooms in on Klaus, REALLY NOW? They never give up!
  Marcel and Sofya.
We then move over to Marcel and his new witch. What’s her face? Whatever. “Hayley Marshall is a problem?” Really Marcel? Alastair is wondering about Elijah’s sire line? (BEWARE Alastair! Elijah is “Alive and Kicking”. Just slumbering in a coffin! You’ve been put on notice!) Hayley is searching for Elijah. #TeamFreeElijah! A bit later on, Sofya tells her boo. “There is graffiti popping up all over town, you need to handle that.” (Picture of ouroboros) I say: Signs, Signs, everywhere there are signs! When are they going to take heed to Vincent’s warnings?
  Hayley, Hope and Mary.
Hayley and Hope are a revelation together. SO ADORABLE! Mary needs to give it up on Hayley. She is a Mikaelson!!! Not only is she a Mikaelson, what would possess this woman to tell her “Did you ever wonder if you be better off not waking him (As in Klaus) up?” Seriously Mary you still holding a grudge? “YOU NEED TO LET IT GO”. (Like the Disney song says!) Of course, she thinks Hayley is looking to  wake Elijah up too! What does she think? Only wake up Klaus and not the other 4? (As I RME HARD and LAUGH REALLY HARD HYSTERICALLY). Mary gives Hayley the 411. She needs to look for one more wolf line to have the cure. AND you know like Donkey Kong, Hayley is on it!
Klaus and Marcel.
Klaus never is one to mince his words. “What I’d most enjoy is for you to rot in HELL.” -Klaus (Score 1 #TeamKlaus) Not to be outdone, Marcel has to throw salt on an old wound. “Alistair Duquesne is in town. How do you want this to go?” I have to say I really enjoy Klaus’ quick turn around, “He was a vane aristocrat.” If you can translate KLAUS SPEAK: “I’M GOING TO KILL HIM.” Marcel comes back from his “Alastair endgame party” AND he found something out. WOO HOO. “Elijah and your siblings are all linked to you.” Marcel tells Klaus (REVELATION!) This only gets worse because he tells Klaus about the vampires tracking him and getting his blood. They will no doubtfully find his family then Hope! We cannot have that. You know Klaus will burn the world and kill all of them! We then go to the Original Vampire Death match round 1: Klaus vs. Alastair! Ding. Ding. Ding. I have to say Marcel is very Machiavellian at playing both sides. He tells Alastair “The sword you gave me would give me an agonizing death.” HUGE TWIST! Marcel cuts Klaus free! Alastair is deader then dead in a NY minute. It’s not before Marcel recaptures Klaus again? What is this? I’m getting dizzy. He brings Klaus back down to the dungeon where he proceeds to stab him again with the Papa Tunde blade. Marcel, you are no friend of mine.
Hayley/Freya/Keelin:
We think it’s a casual night at the bar, or so it seems.  Hayley and Keelin knocking back drinks. Keelin tells Hayley she finished her ER residence. (You know like gals do!) Hold up wait! These guys came to the bar to try and kill her. Hayley wolfs out on them. We fast forward to curing Elijah! (Yay!!!! Finally!!!) The only thing they were missing was Keelin’s venom. She was the missing piece of the puzzle! TADA. After this is done, Keelin wants to be set free. Why do you suspect a “NO DEAL” on this? I DO TOO! Company arrives and not the good kind… “That’s what been tracking me.” – Keelin “It took a long time and now we caught you.” – Vampire (OR SO YOU THINK FOOL!) “Keelin gave her venom and wants to be free. Again, Freya does not want to let her go. I’m seeing a pattern here. “If any of my family is ever bitten again, I will need your venom.” – Freya (Maybe you want her around too? Admit it, Freya. *wink* *wink* *hint*) Freya is doing the spell.  All Keelin wants to know is did it work? Hayley’s in wolf form killing the vamps. BUT something is snapping necks and killing the vampires. OMG, who can it, be now? Elijah???
(Elijah and Hayley) Haylijah Scene:
Hayley in disbelief grabs Elijah and holds him tighter than she ever could. It’s like she never wants to let him go. Elijah is holding her back with so many feelings. It was indescribable. You could feel the intensity and love between them in that moment.  It was like they never separated.
“And they say romance is dead.” Elijah
“I’ll take it.”-  Hayley
“You saved us, all of us.” – Hayley
“I guess Kol and Rebekah couldn’t contain there hunger.”- Elijah
“After all this time.”- Hayley
“Me too.” – Elijah
“How is Hope?”- Elijah
“She made me promise that I would get all her family back.” – Hayley
“Let’s go get him. “– Elijah
It was such an emotional filled reunion and so beautifully done. The words really couldn’t describe all the emotions they were feeling that moment. The first person he asks about after knowing Hayley was alright was Hope! He acknowledged “Me too.” (A subliminal “I Love you.”) I sure knew the fans were over the moon with anticipation of what’s to come and ahead for these two.
  Josh Sighting!
I’m so glad Josh is back, he brings so much comic relief to the show. Welcome back Josh! It’s long overdue!
  Vincent getting his groove back:
“Everyone has to stay in the quarter the next week.” – Vincent
I love how Vincent was looking out for his new witch girlfriend. Everyone needs companionship and love, you know! Josh’s one liners are always killers too.
“Maxine” Vincent
“She is into you.” – Josh
    Vincent/Klaus Anvil:
“Beware of the sleeping giant, when he wakes, the earth will shake.” – Vincent says to Klaus
It was the next scene that really hits you over the head. “Marcel fed you blood, I kept you in chains.” – Vincent (Confucius say: Another words even though he was a prisoner, Klaus shouldn’t be mad, eh, I don’t think so Vincent…) KLAUS SPEAK AGAIN: “I will escape and seek my own justice.” (I will hunt you down and murder you all!) OH BOY! Vincent went there. He played the Camille card! “I had a friend once, Cami, she was hell bent on proving me wrong.” (OH NO YOU DIDN’T! NO ONE BRINGS UP Klaus’ beloved Camille, NO ONE!)
  What Bad Dreams and Stephen King Movies are made of?
“Vincent, its Adam he never came home!” – Maxine
We see Adam walking down a long hall. He opens the door… He sees the ouroboros sign! (We see the bluish green lights in the circular motion moving!) Run Adam Run! Hope screams! We flash over to Mary. Who tells Hope “You’re safe, I’m not going anywhere.” (We’ve heard that in every horror movie EVER MADE!)
  I hope you enjoyed my recap. Until next time.

And then I have it all. Because its pasta.11: Food: Read above.10: Restaurant: It depends. Subway is cheap, Corner Bakery Cafe is right inside Union Station and their Mac and Chee is awesome, but if money is no object, then I’d go for Olive Garden because “endless pasta” are two words that get slung around in there.9: Radio station: I hate the FM radio.8: Yankee candle scent: Fresh-cut lawn.7: Perfume: Nah.6: Flower: I don’t have an answer.5: Color: One of those deep, vivid blues. Something like Tumblr’s but with some more saturation.4: Talk show host: Nah.3: Comedian: SungWon Cho or Barry Kramer.2: Dog breed: 22 has all the answers you need.1: Did you answer all these truthfully?  I could be a jerk and say I answered one of these incorrectly, but nah, they’re legit.

Thanks!
