(@theyeontheskullship) what's your opinion on the glornists? 🎤
I hate those creeps! Especially their leader!
Why? Because I know he's not the loyal servant of Lord Hater he pretends to be. Dunno exactly what he's up to but, well...
I have never seen him gaze at Lord Hater in admiration. Which is how you'd, y'know, expect him to act when the Glornists claim him as their messiah or whatever their weird deal is.
No, that's how you appraise a specimen! And that's why I've got a hunch that he'd rather dismantle than bow down to him...

I'm about to start Promise of the Witch-King and just realized I never blogged about finishing Servant of the Shard, so here are a few of my thoughts and takeaways from it:
The mental image of Jarlaxle and Entreri riding into a surface town on lizards is too funny to handle.
GENT EMAN
"We have come in to sigh, sit, and sip, a bit of all three." Yeah and I'm sure Kimmuriel's going to do all three after this is all over.
"That, or a reputation for leaving burned-out villages behind me," Jarlaxle replied. "Either way, I care little." SPOILER: ACTUALLY NO HE DOES IN FACT CARE
Later on they get into a huge fight at the tavern with the wererats and the townsfolk joining in, and Entreri notes that Jarlaxle very purposely was avoiding killing the townspeople and only injuring them enough to keep them out of the fight.
Jarlaxle was sad about his horse <3
There goes Sharlotta.
"Why would you live in a desert, anyway?" asks Jarlaxle. Entreri responds that Calimport is where he makes his living, but we know what he's really motivated by: actual fucking spices used in cooking.
Cadderly: "We all must answer for our actions."
Jarlaxle: "But to whom? Do you even begin to believe that you can understand the life I have lived, judgmental priest? How might you fare in the darkness of Menzoberranzan, I wonder?"
THAT. THAT FUCKING CONVERSATION RIGHT THERE. Jarlaxle has a ton of good lines in just this trilogy -- hell, just this BOOK alone, but that little exchange right there perfectly encapsulates Jarlaxle in a way I really, really wish the broader fandom could see and understand. Everybody focuses on the funny hat and the dragon-fucking and they completely miss that Jarlaxle is largely driven by: (1) the need for freedom/to get away from a place such as Menzoberranzan where people are broken down to their worst aspects by the brutality of Lolthite society and (2) the need to also save other people from it and secure their freedom as well. He spends so much of his energy trying to help other people deal with their traumas without really addressing his, but every now and then we do catch a glimpse of it.
It's just so telling to me that Jarlaxle is very clearly just as frustrated with Cadderly and really most of the surface dwellers they've encountered as Entreri is, but despite that frustration and genuine emotional fatigue, Jarlaxle is still very much dedicated to trying to keep the peace and de-escalate the situation.
Kimmuriel pulling out the sword will never not be funny to me. I know rationally that drow are trained in many different disciplines so of course Kimmuriel knows how to fight with melee weapons but it's still just really amusing to me that in this part he's basically like, "...well, this isn't working. Stabby time it is, then."
Rai'gy growled again. "You need do more than defeat the artifact!" he roared and swept his arm out toward Yharaskrik. "Have you met my new friend?"
"Indeed, and formidable," Jarlaxle admitted, tipping his wide-brimmed hat in deference to the powerful illithid. "Have you met mine?"
Although I do have sympathy for Rai'gy as he was very much a victim of the shard's manipulations (and Yharaskrik), Jarlaxle's line there was seriously badass.
Entreri and Danica had an interesting dynamic, for sure.
Jarlaxle mentioned Zak to Entreri!
'Kimmuriel started to respond, but stuttered over a few words, and just gave up with a great sigh.' now he just needs to sit and sip, which let's face it, he probably did immediately after this you can't convince me he didn't knock a few drinks back
"Perhaps I hate drow more than I hate humans."

✨🌊 It's possible that the "unruly behavior" was just the dragons being themselves like breathing fire, getting angry, picking fights, flying around, etc. It seems that this unicorn was going around picking dragons at random and faking the cases in order to punish them. If so, then that means that some of the dragons that were punished by them are innocent.
Tumblr media
Well, he couldn't have done it randomly, I can verify each dragon that's been punished unusually is still alive, (and still has something missing, be it a horn, both their horns, or just scars) Sanori is the only case of extreme violence, in having his wings brutally ripped off.
Tumblr media
While I can see why you might think he was just randomly picking victims, that's impossible. Every dragon that's ever had a case has a report, which means he was responsible for each case, which means Mira had to turn them over to him. I'm sure she regrets it, but from what I remember, no one was ever really keen on dealing with dragons because of the very fact they're prone to "Unruly Behavior", not many ponies know how to de-escalate dragons, because they don't understand dragon culture. It's very likely since this person was the only one to volunteer, Mira gave them all the Dragon cases by default after a while, because no one else would. ✨
That is correct, Madame President...🌊

Here's a situation that will get you in trouble on the internet:
The kid you walk to school with has a bruise from where her mum tried to spank her on the bottom and missed.
The comments section devolves into a brawl: call CPS, no CPS are evil, foster care is a hellhole, no abusive parents are the hellhole, op is an asshole and an apologist for both abuse and the police state...
There is no blanket statement to be made except "talk to the adults". Toni has a good relationship with her mum who has chosen spanking over grounding or no media because Toni experiences long punishments really badly. It was also a fight where Toni also hit her mum (that doesn't mean it's an equal fight either). Toni won't grow up to resent her mum because she demonstrated in every other way that she respects her daughter and wants to protect her. Saying that her spanking was abusive gets Toni's hackles up because being banned from TV for a week made her stew with bitterness and rejection for a week.
Toni's mum switches punishment within the year to making her do an annoying chore immediately after finding out she's been naughty because it becomes obvious that the two of them getting in physical fights and her daughter's fear isn't healthy.
Any drastic action or statement other than "talk with the adults" would have been inappropriate or escalated the problem. Anything more than a really careful respectful chat that talks in vague terms about what works or not for different kids with different temperaments would have made her mother and Toni feel judged and stripped of their agency.
Toni's situation is different from Sarah's and mine and yours. It deserved taking a moment to examine in isolation and in context.
When people tell their stories, whether it's testimony or fiction, we owe it to ourselves to have two mindsets: what we know science says about physical punishment, patterns of abuse, children's rights and parental power and what Toni and her mother's experience was and how they resolved it, what was the broader context.
Put simply: Are you hung up on the fact that neither I nor Toni nor either of our mothers have unconditionally condemned spanking as evil in this story? Do i need to spell out all the intersections of discrimination and trauma to put that to rest or can you accept that Toni's story is her own?
This is what talking about complexity and nuance on the internet is like: it's exhausting. I'm legit a little frightened to put something like this out there without the disclaimers on what I believe or any more explanatory context. But we don't owe you the full context to understand that stories aren't morality plays or ethical stances. The truncated brutal jokey way Toni tells it is a lot more uncomfortable.

Uni went back and my life fell apart again... (more mini reviews because I suck at this).
Lord of War (2005): I liked this a lot. It really had me hooked. The characters were interesting and I liked the surreal elements. Also, guns, haha. 4/5 stars.
One Night In Soho (2021): Fun film, but I felt like it kind of lost it's way at the end. Maybe it tried to go a bit too big with it? Things really escalated. But I loved the story and the way the two worlds wound together. The music and the fashion had me gripped. 3.5/5 stars.
BlacKkKlansman (2018): This movie was very clever, funny, and a really good time to watch. It was also hard hitting when it needed to be and had something to say. It loses one point for potentially being copaganda. 4/5 stars.
Sorry to Bother You (2018): The lighting though! And beyond that, an interesting story told well that really gripped me. Completely off the wall in parts. An enjoyable film to watch. 4.5/5 stars.
Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991): How Not to Make a Film - The Movie. I really enjoyed this as someone who is trying to work in the industry. 4/5 stars.
Madoka Magica Movie 1 (2012): I am pretty sure this is the one I watched. I watched the series and then the film back to back and was a big fan. This anime has an art style like no other, and is an interesting critique of the magical girl genre - whether or not it was intended in that way I'll leave up to you to decide. 3.5/5 stars.
Perfect Blue (1997): People absolutely rave about this film and I did like it, but I think maybe it was over hyped. I love the surrealism and the animation style, and I love the visual elements and the darkness to it. A scathing view of idoldom that I feel is still relevant today. However, it ends in a way that kind of undoes some of that work and that was a bit of a let down. 3/5 stars.
Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014): Yeah, no, perhaps I've been spoiled for fight choreography recently but this didn't really do it for me. It was also very... conservative? The main guy is deffs a Torrie. Absolutely not for me. I did like the fight scene in a church though. 1.5/5 stars.
Tár (2022): I need to watch this film again to properly develop my thoughts so perhaps I'll write a long review about this later... I liked some of it, and felt like it was at least attempting to be a critique of people in positions of power... bur then it also kind of seemed to not do that. The music was really interesting and the main character unraveling was quite compelling. I'll watch it again and see what I think as we watched this at an outdoor cinema and I feel like we missed most of the movie. 3/5 stars.
You Were Never Really Here (2017): That was a lot. I loved how colourful this film was, I don't feel like you see enough of that in these kidnap/abduction movies. Brutal, visceral, intense. I cried a little bit. It's been a while since I saw it so I can't remember why I only gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars... but I do think it's not quite a 5 star film from memory, but very close. 4.5/5 stars.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023): This is my least favourite John Wick film. I feel like after the last one they were trying to go even bigger, but they couldn't really find a way to do that. Some things just felt a bit silly... there was too many bad guys waiting to take their turn fighting Mr. Wick instead of running in to kill him. The fight choreography of 3 outshone this one, in my opinion, and they re-used some old character types and just changed them slightly. Donnie Yen did a kick ass job though, and I loved some of the gags they used with this character - like the doorbells. Still, a fun film I enjoyed watching. 3/5 stars.

Howdy, Miss Atelier!
I came to bring you tea for tea party with friends, and to ask you to point me in the direction of your Leon-carrying-Licht headcanon!
(I also came to ask if you have any additional thoughts on the rich bitch)
Look at that a e s t h e t i c tea 😌
Hello, my darling! I've not actually posted those Leon headcanons to tumblr, so-
Also I haven't finished his route
Licht once sarcastically asked Leon for a piggyback ride after he twisted his ankle during a patrol. Now, Leon was already bent over in preparation to give him one anyway, but being asked explicitly filled him with so many brotherly emotions that he was seen all but prancing through the streets, with Licht flailing and protesting on his back.
He styles his hair by finger-combing it dry. It's not just an untamed mane but a deliberate wild coif. He's found one or two white hairs already, though most of it seems to be congregating in his beard, which he shaves off anyway (for now, but please see @batteryrose 's zaddy beard!Leon art for one possible timeline).
Palace staff keep a tally for the number of times Leon has angrily marched up to Chev and grabbed him by the collar. This event is listed somewhere in the middle of the sheet on their Shit the Princes Do drinking game checklist. Leon occasionally joins them for day-drinking (but sshh, don't tell Sariel). He also carries their incapacitated forms back to their quarters and tucks them into their beds. Then he leaves a pitcher of water and a glass on their bedside table. He'll check back in on them later in the day after completing his duties.
There is an entire unofficial drinking festival in Rhodolite just so people can gather to see Leon go against Jin. It always escalates into an impromptu bodybuilding competition by 3am. A winner has never been crowned even though Jin's tiddies put up a massive fight.
Leon is so popular with the children of Rhodolite that he is one of only two princes to receive Christmas quilts every year from the children's foundation. (The other prince is Chev because there is a local urban legend spread by a certain someone that says sending a blanket to the Brutal Beast will guarantee that no misfortune will befall you that year.) But Leon gets nice hand-made quilts with cute, awkwardly-stitched lions on them. He makes a point to drape them over his cloak like a shawl during the winter season so the kids can know how much he appreciates them.
Leon has a very lovely singing voice. He knows every folk song by heart, but also a number of romantic ballads as well. He always gets roped into performing on-stage whenever a traveling troupe is in town. He has tried on many occasions to rope Licht along with him but to no avail.
He grows succulents on his windowsill. They're named after each of his brothers and he asserts that they each have the personalities of their respective namesakes. Because that's how he picks them out in the first place :)
As for rich bitch headcanons...
He didn't always jingle-jangle. There was a time when he only jangled.
Even if he says he knows how to swim, my new headcanon is that it took him much longer than everyone else to learn because he was, at first, quite afraid of the water (i may or may not be projecting).
I don't think he goes commando. I think he wears all his garish, opulent crap on the outside and dresses sensibly on the inside. Or he wears a dalmatian-spotted speedo as per @toshipingu canon.
He's an intelligent motherfucker and can definitely play chess remotely without ever looking at the board. He doesn't have photographic memory like Chev, but he's no slouch either.
Has he kicked people off the plank when a business deal has gone south? I'm not saying he hasn't. Yes, @dark-frosted-heart 's Silvio-kicking-the-door-down art lives rent-free in my head.
Thank you for the ask!

Not Quite Anything
AO3: Not Quite Anything
“Ron, are you… jealous?”
Kim knew, almost the second the words left her mouth, that she’d made a mistake. Ron’s face, always expressive and open to her, cycled through confusion, frustration, shock and settled on hurt. Kim winced.
Still, a plot by Drakken using Bueno Nacho toys? Even for her arch-nemesis, it sounded kind of silly. Not that Kim could bring herself to dismiss Ron entirely out of hand, frantic as he’d been, but he was resistant to change, to put it mildly. And Bueno Nacho rated pretty highly on his list of favorite things.
“I mean”
“Well of course he’s jealous, K.”
Kim bit back a sigh of irritation at the interruption, turning to scowl at Bonnie. Miss Queen Bee sauntered over, smirking and looking extraordinarily catty, even for her.
“What’s wrong? Haven’t given your loser enough attention? ‘Kim, my disgusting nachos are different and the world’s ending!’ Please. He just feels neglected. It’s only natural to want what you can’t have, isn’t it?”
Kim practically saw red. Were she any less restrained, or any less practiced in the art of weathering hurricane Bonnie, she would have demonstrated all sixteen forms of kung fu she knew on the spot, dress or no dress. She glowered, hands fisted, finding her equilibrium again to keep herself from escalating to violence. She took a breath for a brutal, completely warranted, verbal stripping of Bonnie’s hide.
“Forget it.”
Ron’s voice, quiet and hollow and resigned, rang louder for Kim than anything else in the gym. She snapped her head around, heart clenching at his completely shuttered expression.
“Just forget it,” he said bitterly, shrugging. “Have fun with your date and your new bestie, Kimberly.”
Kim couldn’t have been more shocked if she’d been slapped in the face.
Frankly, she might have preferred that.
“What?” She said, breathless.
Ron Stoppable, her best friend, had just lumped her together with Bonnie Rockwaller.
Worse, with only the barest reflection on the past few minutes, she realized she deserved it.
The world stopped turning, gravity ceased its pull, and Kim’s voice failed her as Ron disappeared from the gym, from her life.
Okay, maybe she was being slightly dramatic. Ron had effectively just dismissed her, though. And referred to Bonnie as her ‘new best friend’ in the process.
Which was… just sick and wrong on all levels.
Someone said her name, but Kim, trying to remember how to breathe and moving on autopilot, only registered it as white noise. She grabbed her clutch, power walking toward the exit, ignoring everything else as superfluous. If she stayed, she risked either crying her eyes out or venting her heartache by maiming Bonnie.
The Queen Bee would only be a stand in for herself, though.
Since preschool, Kim had approached everything with the confidence her Dad’s advice gave her.
Anything’s possible for a Possible.
She hoped, more than ever, that he’d been right. She’d rather fight an army of Shego’s than leave things as they were.
“Kim.”
Eric’s hand caught her shoulder, gently turning her back to face him.
His touch didn’t feel quite as magical as it had when the night started.
“I’m sure he’ll be okay,” he said. He gestured to the other students, dancing again. “You only get one junior prom.”
Kim blinked at him.
She looked around the gym, at the strobe lights, the balloons and decorations, and the DJ. All the girls in dresses they’d spent weeks searching for, the guys in rented tuxes.
Kim blinked again, gaze focused on the snack table with the punch bowl. An image of a blond dork popped into her head, clad in a bow tie and all but guarding the ‘snackage', laughing at some inside joke with Felix, occasionally meeting eyes with her and waving.
She thought of Ron, his favorite gross greasy food, weirdly divine cooking and goofy grins, wearing cargo pants specifically for Rufus’ comfort. Because Ron just cared that much.
Kim looked back at Eric.
‘I only have one Ron.’
Was there any debate here?
She mumbled some sort of excuse, an explanation, a promise she’d be back soon–she honestly didn’t know. She might have just shrugged off his hand without saying anything. She hoped not, but she had to make things right.
Practically running by the time she reached the doors, she let out a sigh of relief on seeing Ron’s scooter still parked there. The blond was nowhere in sight though. After a moment’s thought, Kim ran for the school, and their lockers. She knew he’d tried–scratch that, had gone solo on missions before, and she had no reason to think he’d do any different if he thought… if he thought she didn’t believe him.
“Ron!”
She called for him before she’d even turned the last corner. He stood in front of his locker, already changed, jersey swapped out for his black top.
He slammed his locker shut, turning away without even looking at her, let alone saying anything.
“Ron, wait!”
Kim raced forward to snag his wrist, huffing from the brief sprint and anxiety at the thought of her apology devolving into a confrontation. They’d been best friends for twelve years, their shared history included plenty of arguments and apologies from both sides.
He’d never been this hurt or angry at her, before, though.
And, until now, she’d never tanked this hard.
She didn’t know what to expect.
“Shouldn’t do that. Someone might see,” Ron said. Kim, still bordering on desperate to fix her mistake, couldn’t follow his thought process. He shook the arm she held, his voice unusually thick. “Don’t want anyone to tell the Food Chain that you’re touching a loser.”
“Stop,” Kim snapped, anger spiking again at the mention of the school’s stupid hierarchy. She squeezed his wrist. “Just stop. You’re more important than the Food Chain.”
‘You’re more important, period.’
Ron still wouldn’t look at her. He raised his other arm to his face, passing his sleeve over his eyes.
Was he���
Sniff.
Great. Kim bit her lip, her own eyes misting. So much for not crying.
She couldn’t think of another time she’d felt so wretched. She’d all but accused her best friend of making up a global threat to get her attention. Because, what, he missed her? Envied all the time she spent with Eric? Wanted to ascend on the school’s social ladder?
Ron had proven, more than once, to be just as susceptible to jealousy as anybody, and he did, occasionally, covet the so-called perks of a higher standing in the Food Chain. He had, a few times, even expressed envy of Kim’s position in school. But while he could be rather vocal with his complaints about, well, anything, he had never once resented her for it. And he would never be so petty as to pretend…
Kim squeezed her eyes shut. Just thinking about what she’d implied made her nauseas.
“I’m sorry.”
Kim swallowed the lump in her throat, tugging at Ron’s wrist, urging him to just look at her. She was afraid of letting go, terrified that he might actually walk away, that he wouldn’t forgive her.
“I don’t know what I was thinking,” she said, trying to keep her voice steady. If pressed, she’d plead temporary insanity. “I do trust you. I just…” she trailed off. She couldn’t offer an explanation she didn’t have. “I’m so sorry, Ron.”
Kim took a deep breath, eyes shut again to try keeping the tears at bay.
She felt something soft brush against her face.
She peeked.
Ron had finally looked at her, using his sleeve, tugged over his thumb, to gently dry her eyes.
Kim let go of his wrist, looking at him look at her. She knew there were half a dozen things to do. She had to call Wade, investigate the whole Drakken thing, ask about the Diablo toys, give Eric a more satisfying reason for leaving.
First, though–
“Are we… okay?”
Ron frowned, and Kim’s heart sank.
“No,” he said, and though he looked tweaked, she could read his expressions again, could hear life back in his voice. “Drakken corrupted the sanctity of Bueno Nacho and ruined it! Taking over the world is one thing, but he just made this personal, KP!”
‘KP.’
Kim smiled, even as she shifted into mission mode and pulled out her Kimmunicator. She knew she’d been forgiven, whether or not he’d said it in so many words. Still, even with immense relief washing over her, she found that her Dad’s advice didn’t provide quite the same comfort it usually did.
As she’d learned just minutes earlier, ‘anything’ included mistakes, even acting like a stuck-up shallow girl from Upperton.
And she could lose Ron just as well as she could keep him in her life.
“Wade, I need you to check something.”
Kim resolved she wouldn’t forget that.

CREED III REVIEW
Tumblr media
The torch has been passed and Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed is truly center stage in the "Rocky Universe". While Stallone was there to support him in the first two "Creed" movies, Jordan is the sole face of the franchise, both in front of and behind the camera. Does Creed III keep the spirit of the franchise alive without Rocky?
Adonis Creed succeeded at building his legacy and is ready to retire from the ring to focus on his family and managing his own gym. When his old friend, Damien, enters back into his life after serving over a decade in prison, Adonis feels responsible for getting him back on his feet. After years out of touch and some anger within Damien, are these two more friends or foes?
Tumblr media
Like the previous two installments, Creed III is a powerful and thrilling movie full of great characters, plenty of heart, and incredible boxing sequences. Not only does Jordan continue to be great as the titular character, but he shows a strong introduction to his directing skills. The three boxing scenes feel brutal and powerful leaving audiences on the edge of their seats.
Tessa Thompson as Bianca continues to strive as Adonis's wife, who rises above the one-dimensional supporting partner stereotype. The chemistry between the two actors feels real and genuine, which is rare to see in any recent movie couples.
Tumblr media
Jonathan Majors as Damien is a standout in a cast full of strong performances. The scenes of Jordan and Majors playing off each other deliver some of the most emotional moments. The drama between these former friends is very emotional and sympathetic towards both sides.
The first and third acts of Creed III are excellent and glue you to the screen not wanting to miss a single moment. The second act is where the movie stumbles. After the second fight midway through, the story seems to rush past natural plot progression to speed towards the escalation and final fight.
Tumblr media
Damien goes from a genuine character to a "Rocky Villain" in the flick of a switch. While there is a moment involving a photograph meant to explain why the sudden shift in his character, the identification of the character representing the big turn is not explained well enough. A two-second flashback pointing out who the character is would have slightly helped, but even so, there still would be a lack of natural escalation to build to the final fight.
Does Creed III suffer from a lack of Rocky? Absolutely not, as this is Adonis' story, and intergrading Rocky into it would feel forced. While there's always room for Rocky to return, Creed III showcases that the franchise is alive and well in the hands of Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed.
8/10

THE UNCONQUERABLE WAR-TORN SPIRIT OF UKRAINE – by the Canuck Crank & the Lone Antifa – revised & updated Jan 9, 2023
The indomitable heroism of the UKRAINIANS, and the fighting spirit embodied by their charismatic leader, provided the most dramatic and inspiring international saga of this past year. MFF pays homage to the strength of this extraordinary nation, in the hopes that 2023 will bring a just peace to its people.
We present a comprehensive profile of the brutal unjustified war unleashed on Ukraine by megalomaniac VLADIMIR PUTIN. This includes dozens of videos, some going back to the beginning of the conflict in 2013. In addition to our tribute to the extraordinary recent speech by VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY to the US congress, we feature detailed coverage of the war's progress; the liberation of Kherson; and Ukraine's poignant Christmas celebrations.
We hope this presentation will do some good, by motivating more activism to confront and halt this war's horrific series of atrocities.

#Christy mack wallpapers hd trial
She had shortened her given name, Christine Mackinday, for her adult film career. Koppenhaver legally changed his name to War Machine during his 19-fight MMA career, and he started a clothing line he called Alpha Male. Mack and Koppenhaver met as performers on an adult film shoot. He has been in Nevada state custody since that time, serving 1½ to four years in prison after his probation was revoked for a prior conviction in a 2009 attempted battery causing substantial bodily harm case involving a 21-year-old woman. Koppenhaver was arrested in the Los Angeles suburb of Simi Valley a week after the alleged attack in Las Vegas. If found guilty, Koppenhaver could get life in prison without parole.
#Christy mack wallpapers hd trial
The 35-year-old is on trial for 34 felony charges against him, including kidnapping, attempted murder and multiple counts of sexual assault, all of which he pleaded not guilty. I've got to kill you now', reported the Las Vegas Review Journal. In a rage, he had stood over Mack during the beating and told her 'This is it. The brutal assault began when he burst into a bedroom and found Mack in bed with another man in August 2014.Īfter allegedly pummeling her new lover, War Machine turned his anger on Mack, leaving her with a broken nose, missing teeth, fractured eye socket, leg injuries and a lacerated liver. In Monday's opening statements, the court heard how the fighter threatened to murder his former flame Christy Mack, as he mercilessly attacked the adult actress. 'He said he would send his Navy SEAL friends or Hells Angel's after me or my family,' Mackinday said, adding that she heard him on the phone giving them her and her mom's addresses. She said she became too scared to report the abuse because her ex threatened to get his former Hells Angels friends to hurt her and her family. He said he thought he was going to die in the 12 minute battle. Thomas told the court the fighter had bitten him and put him in a choke hold. Mack was in bed with Corey Thomas when War Machine burst into the room. 'At first they weren't that frequent - maybe once a month - but as our relationship progressed, the violence progressed,' she said at the Las Vegas trial, according to the New York Post. Mack, whose real name is Christine Mackinday, described to the courts on Wednesday how the violence in their relationship had escalated and sometimes ended in her being choked into unconsciousness. The Las Vegas trial has previously heard that War Machine told his porn star ex-girlfriend he would have to kill her as he stood over her helpless body and beat her for two hours. The 25-year-old wore a high-necked Victorian-style blouse with a blazer, and was sporting a blonde bob and heavy yet subdued makeup which covered up her ink. Mack, who has previously flaunted her arm, neck and face tattoos, along with her colorful hair, went for a more conservative look when she appeared at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas on Wednesday. While testifying on Wednesday, Mack appeared to have undergone a dramatic transformation. 'I was limping for probably two weeks afterwards,' she testified.ĭuring cross-examination, Mack testified that she was forced to undergo cosmetic surgeries to repair damage to her lips, as well as other surgeries to her nose and teeth. 'There's no way I could physically overpower him,' Mack testified.ĭuring her testimony, Mack added that the former MMA fighter repeatedly kicked one of her legs, leaving it horrifically bruised. Mack testified in court that War Machine fractured her left eye, shattered two teeth, fractured two ribs and broke her nose in several placed during the alleged violent incident. Prosecutors said the incident was the culmination of violent abuse over 15 months that nearly killed the former porn star and Corey Thomas, the man who also was beat during the attack as he was in bed with her at the time. While testifying earlier int he day, she broke down in tears at several points while she explained the extensive injuries she suffered during the alleged altercation between her and War Machine, whose birth name is Jonathan Paul Koppenhaver. 'It's all yours,' the 25-year-old replied to the one-time MMA fighter. Former mixed martial arts fighter War Machine, also known as Jonathan Koppenhaver listened alongside his attorney to Mack's testimony on Thursday (above)

10 LIES YOU TELL YOURSELF ABOUT PORN
For those quietly battling porn addiction symptoms, the fight can be brutal.
Multiple relapses over the years, the guilt, betrayal of loved ones, the erectile dysfunction the jump into acting out in real life
It’s a rough journey, alright!
Sometimes, its easier to deal with everything by unconsciously telling ourselves lies. These lies grow and overtime turn out to be the greatest hindrance to our progress.
This post will help you identify the most common lies we tell ourselves about our porn use.
1) POWERLESS LIE: I CAN’T STOP WATCHING PORN. I CAN’T QUIT.
This another lie and a red flag for low self-esteem. Most frequently told when you feel that you are completely powerless to control your addiction.
You CAN quit. You are more powerful than you imagine. Perhaps you grew with some rough experiences that knocked you down a few notches. You can still rise.
Willpower is a muscle- it gets tired, but it will get you far enough to see the mountaintop in this tough climb. Once you have a glimpse at freedom, you will do whatever it takes to get there!
A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind. – Elly Roselle.
2) DOWNPLAY LIE: I MUST HAVE RECOVERED.
This!
This was one of the biggest obstacles in my porn addiction journey.
I would quit porn and masturbation for a few weeks and feel amazing then the thoughts would begin to slowly creep in well, I haven’t felt the urge in so long- I must be fine! Phew- thank God it’s not an addiction!
Well, guess what downplaying led to?
I fell right back into the porn and masturbation cycle.
Another variation of this lie occurs when you quit watching porn, but then try to masturbate. To your surprise, you find that it’s almost impossible to do so without watching porn. Back to porn again. Both are lies we tell ourselves to rationalize the addiction.
3) WHITEWASH LIE: I WAS DRUNK., I WAS HIGH, IT WAS RIGHT THERE.
In my college days, excessive drinking and smoking was a one-way ticket to the masturbation station.
No matter how much I wanted to quit, putting myself under the influence invariably led to a relapse. For those trying to give up porn, the effects of alcohol and drugs on the process of quitting cannot be emphasized enough.
Once your inhibitions are lowered, or certain senses chemically heightened, the last vestiges of restraint fly out the window.
4) MINIMIZE LIE: JUST 5 MINUTES.
I’ll only look at this anime porn on Tumblr for 5 minutes.
Two hours later and 30 Firefox tabs later, you’re exhausted and disgusted from your porn binge.
The time trap always escalates. You play down and attempt to minimize the actual amount of time you know you will spend on porn.
5) INFLATION LIE: I’M STRESSED
I feel like crap, so I deserve to watch porn. It’s been a crazy stressful day, screw it, I need this.
Another common lie where you inflate a rough situation into an excuse to binge on porn.
You haven’t developed alternate means of coping with stress, so when you experience above-average stress, you automatically return to the thing that soothes you.
Solution: Work on developing positive habits that you can turn to the moment your triggers kick in. Meditation has worked very well for me.
6) IMPLICATION LIE: MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER ISN’T INTO WHAT I WANT.
My girlfriend doesn’t give blowjobs and she doesn’t like anal.
Yeap- I used that one too, and it nearly cost me my relationship.
It’s easy to blame or implicate someone for your porn habits. An easy, but a weak lie.Its also one of the top lies we tell ourselves before, during and after we act out porn fantasies in real life.
In our program Porn Reboot Intensive, I emphasize that taking responsibility is among the first steps to giving up pornography.
7) PRIVILEGE LIE: I’M A LATE BLOOMER.
I’m a late bloomer, and I missed out. I married early, that’s why I’m acting out. Wow. I feel like I’ve used every lie so far!
As a guy who teaches men how to meet and attract women, I’ve noticed that this lie is most common among the “Get Girls” crowd in the community.
Men who gain success later on in life develop confidence and improve self-esteem through self-improvement or career success tend to develop a sense of entitlement when justifying their porn or sex addiction. If your habit of having with women outside of your relationship is fueled by porn, it’s time to start cutting back.
8) STANDARD LIE: A MAN’S BIOLOGY DICTATES THAT HE SHOULD SLEEP WITH MANY ATTRACTIVE WOMEN AS POSSIBLE, OR EVERY GUY DOES IT.
I am guilty of this lie as well. While the statement is true, painting the picture of porn as a normal, standard part of a man’s lifestyle as an excuse for porn addiction constitutes lying to yourself.
Not every man watches porn and masturbates on a daily basis. In fact, some of the most accomplished men in history stayed far away from pornography.
9) NON-ACCEPTANCE LIE: I DON’T WATCH PORN ANYMORE.
I used this lie for too long. My rationalization was that spending the same amount of time that I used to spend on porn browsing Instagram for chicks in bikinis was obviously not watching porn.
The reboot process is sabotaged the moment you replace your addiction to porn with something else. Its the equivalent of someone addicted to cigarettes trying to quit by switching to e-cigarettes. It doesn’t work.
Quitting porn by rebooting involves completely avoiding and isolating yourself from any habits that that may potentially lead to a trigger.
10) NEGATING LIE: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PORN, OR PLAYING OUT MY ADDICTION IN REAL LIFE.
If you say this, but one day you are attracted to women, and the next you’ve had sex with more sex workers or prostitutes from Craigslist than actual women, you’re lying to yourself.
Porn use escalates as our brain craves more stimulation. Negating the effects of pornography is the singularly most devastating lie you can tell yourself.
What are some of the lies not included here that YOU frequently tell yourself?
I’d love to know. Leave your comments below.

I totally want some rough, angry, BDSM NSFW with Quirkless hero Reader and Villain Deku, please! Maybe they’re arguing about S/O’s safety, like the more she helps people and becomes more famous due to being Quirkless, the more danger she encounters. This eventually escalates to a lot of stress and anger being taken out in the NSFW form, though I would like it if you made dom Deku for this one! I totally live for Dom Deku! Especially the villain flirty version!
Need It Rough
Author's Thoughts: You guys love your villain Deku 👀 Not that I'm complaining, I do too
Warning: Choking, Spanking, Hair Pulling, Degradation, Cursing, Angst, Wrist Binds, Fingering, Etc.

You really didn't want to argue. It'd been a long day, for the both of you, and you just wanted peace.
But Izuku had too much on his mind to keep yo himself.
At first, he simply asked how work was. There was a certain edge to his tone and you knew this would start something, so you answered stiffled with a "It was okay".
"I saw you on the news today. That fight was really something."
"Yeah, it was, huh."
Izuku could tell from your short responses that you knew exactly what the problem was. So why dance around it?
"It was also really reckless, you know."
You sighed and let your head fall back against the pillow. There it was. "Oh my god, not now Izuku."
"Not now, not now, not now. You always say that, Y/n. So when? Tomorrow? The day after? A year, maybe ten?" He turned to look at you from his desk. "You need to be more careful."
Scoffing, you sat up again and gave him a mild glare. "I know what I'm doing, Izuku."
He gave a dry laugh, shaking his head. "You have no idea. Its getting more and more dangerous every day. There are a lot of people who'd love to see the 'Impossible Hero: Quirkless' fall. They've already tried taking you out, and the won't stop."
"Well what do you want me to do? Quit?"
"No! Just lay low for a while, take a vacation or something. Its not worth it."
"Izuku you know as well as I do that I can't just slow down. I'd be behind everyone again, I have to secure a spot in people's hearts and minds. I have to earn their trust. Stopping won't do that."
The argument only grew from there before moving onto something unusual more intimate.
Maybe it was how close Izuku had approached you. It could have been that defiant look in your eyes.
But the frustration became too much. Both you and Izuku seemed to have the same thing in mind, and so you didn't mind him suddenly crawling over your glaring form.
<3 <3 <3 <3
"Why do you have to be do fucking difficult, Y/n?"
His hand roughly roughly smacked against your dripping pussy. You cried out in pleasure, tears of frustration from being teased like this fell onto the mattress under your chin.
"I swear, you can be such a goddamn brat. Don't listen to a thing, do you?" Another smack against your clit had your body twitching. "I said do you?" Then another.
You quickly shook your head. "No..! But I don't have t-to.. I'm grown.."
Izuku tilted his head at you almost curiously. "Oh? Well, yeah, 'course you are." He slid his other hand from your rear to your leather binds holding your hands behind your back, stroking them. "A grown woman. You can do what you like."
You suddered under his touch, his hands old as ice. His hands moved to continued up north, tangling in your hair before giving it a yank.
His free hand meanwhile began toying with your cunt, pumping his fingers in and out of your desperate core. His fingers curled with every squeeze of your walls and you began to whimper.
He'd gave an audible scoff. "God, you're so independent aren't you?"
You simply gave a nod, hands balling into fists.
Then his movements ceased all together. You started to squirm, to whine. Attempting to move back against his fingers, he watched your hips wiggle in desperation.
"No, no.." He removed his fingers and you held back a sob. "Well, Miss Know-It-All. Miss Independent. Get yourself off."
You didn't even try. There was only so much you could do with bound wrists and your chin against the sheets.
"Oh? Are you kidding me? There's something in this world even the great Y/n can't do herself?" He feigned shock and you could feel the humiliation weighing you on. "Do you need me?"
It was hard to swallow your pride, you had so much of it. But you needed him, badly. You were practically shaking with want, squirming with it.
"Yes.. Need you.." You muttered weakly. Izuku gave your hair a yank, causing you to squeal.
"Yeah? You gonna be a good girl and start listening?"
You remained silence, refusing to say that. You knew his words had a double meaning behind them, and you weren't agreeing to anything outside the bedroom.
Izuku shook his head but nonetheless, you felt the tip of his hard cock sink into your folds. "Fine. Wanna be a disobedient slut instead? We can play that game."
His hips snapped against yours and you cried out as he filled you up.
Izuku used your hair to yank your body back into his thrusts, his skin slapping against your hard enough to mark your skin the next day.
"You like that game though, right? That game where you stop being my good girl, when you're just a relentless, naive little hero. Can't get enough of it, can you?"
Your breathe hitched in your throat at his words and you quickly buried you face into the mattress yo muffle the noises falling from your lips.
He noticed immediately and the hand gripping your hair snaked around your neck. Easily, he lifted your upper body by the throat and whined at the loss of air. Your back fell against his chest and his thrusts remained fast and brutal.
"Ehat, now you're just ignoring me? I gave you exactly what you wanted despite your disobedience and you can't answer a single question? Ha! Selfish little whore, aren't you?" He growled into your ear, almost animal like.
It was going to be a long night. But what better way to vent out your frustrations?

To clarify, at this point Russophobia is a meaningless buzzword bc it’s Kremlin’s fave polemic device, and afaik it barely existed in the Ukraine before Euromaidan if you don’t count their marginal far right party, but afterwards it grew naturally and exploded after the annexation of Crimea. But like, this isn’t xenophobia like Russians seem to believe thanks to relentless propaganda. And “de-Russification” and “Russian language genocide” in the Ukraine are a fucking joke. You mean a former Soviet state trying to somewhat mitigate the consequences of the empire’s aggressive Russification over the past century. Two centuries, in some cases.
So basically, Ukraine’s youth in 2013-2014 was afraid of Russia in the sense that “turning East” instead of joining Europe would be backwards historically. Kremlin was afraid of losing the Ukraine to the West. Kremlin then brainwashed Russians to believe Ukrainians were genociding their language and the mythical Children of Donbass. It looks like all of Russia besides the very small progressively minded population slice is currently crying tears of relief and gratitude as this “liberation war” is finally underway. Meanwhile generations of Ukrainians will now fear Russians on a very primal, amygdala level. Not to mention the irrational but not unexpected explosion of anti-Russian sentiment across the world.
But also (fuck, sorry, the floodgates have opened), this Netflix documentary about Euromaidan? The fight for freedom? Dude, what freedom. What choice is there for smaller guys but the two blocs? Any time I hear entreaties from the brutally oppressed to the EU/UN/USA/The West to come save them, I cringe. But then there’s nothing you can do in the “post”-Cold War world besides trying to navigate the gauntlet. One does wonder how/when China will rearrange the current order.
Sorry, Anon, I feel like I missed the first part of your ask since it seems to start mid-thought. I agree that "Russophobia" in the context of Ukraine is a wild-ass lie; claims of anti-Russian genocide in Donbas have been repeatedly investigated and, as far as I know, remain totally unsubstantiated. Broader Euro-American Russophobia is definitely a thing, esp. as a legacy of the Cold War, and has to be separated from legitimate criticisms of the Russian government, of which there may be many--but this doesn't justify retaliation against Russian citizens who have nothing to do with this war, and cannot alter the policy of their government.
I'm afraid I don't see NATO or the EU as this inherently oppressive force--you can't be coerced into joining either (it is in fact quite difficult), and NATO invading Ukraine to compel it not to ally itself with Russia was never on the cards. AFAICT NATO was in fact quite happy to pretty much ignore Ukraine while it was in Russia's political orbit. A lot of smaller countries do indeed seek to join the EU, for lots of reasons, but primarily because of the economic benefits it brings. This has resulted in EU expansion over time, but in a pretty democratic way. If anything, EU expansion has stalled out since the last round, and the Union is too reluctant to consider applicants like Turkey. If the EU is the Evil Empire, well, may all empires be so evil.
A unipolar world led by a hegemonic EU-USA alliance doesn't sound great; it'd be undemocratic and overwhelmingly biased toward the interests of the global north--but if the alternative is a multipolar world where major blocs engage in negative-sum competition that risk nuclear escalation, maybe that is worse.

Unspoken - Part Five
Bucky Barnes x Fem Reader
Summary: Y/N is a superhero with telekinetic and healing capabilities. The only catch, she doesn’t speak (italicized words are thoughts).
Content Warning: slightly sexual content
Word Count: ~1.9k
Part One Part Four Part Six
Masterlist
Enjoy!
——————
Tumblr media
The team took advantage of the day off, and slept into the late morning. Y/N was the first to wake up, and she went out to get the guys breakfast. Y/N struggled with leaving Bucky alone in the bed. She just wanted to stay there with him forever. But at least now he’ll know how she felt the other day, waking up without him beside her. She came back to the room to find Sam and Bucky laying in their beds, watching television. “Food!” Sam said happily. Bucky smiled charmingly and gave Y/N a wave. He remembered how perfect last night was. The simple kiss on the cheek drove him wild.
“I didn’t know what you guys wanted…” Y/N trailed off while the two men came and rummaged through the food, taking what they liked. Y/N took the leftovers and ate it, quickly getting bored of the television. She grabbed her book and left the room. The door reopened behind her. “Y/N, where you off to?” Bucky asked. Y/N raised her book, signaling she would be reading. “Do you mind if I come with you? Maybe you can find me a book I’d enjoy.” Y/N accepted his invitation by motioning her head forward. Bucky followed Y/N like a puppy as they walked to the nearest book store. They were greeted by a cashier and Bucky gave them a small wave. Y/N walked to the classic novel section and chose the most boring book she could think of and handed it to Bucky. Bucky tried to be polite but as he flipped through the pages he realized the joke. “I get it because I’m technically a hundred years old. Funny stuff.” Y/N took the book hunt seriously now, heading for the fiction section. She grabbed a book that was about a war, betrayal, and friendship. Bucky seemed very interested when reading the back cover.
They purchased the book and found a park bench to sit at and read. Bucky was immediately sucked into his book, impressed by Y/N’s sense of judgement. He couldn’t help himself, however, from letting his eyes wander from the page to look at her. The way she focuses on her reading, he’s never seen anything like it before. She’s in her own little world. I want to be part of that. “Hey, Y/N.” Y/N broke from her trance and looked over at Bucky, who was so lost in her beauty that he forgot what he was going to say. “I um- I-“ Y/N smiled, realizing the situation. She closed her book and turned towards Bucky. She placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him butterflies, a feeling he thought he was too old to have. “Sometimes things are better left unspoken.” Y/N leaned in and kissed Bucky, their lips molding perfectly together. Bucky cupped Y/N’s face as he kissed her more passionately. The two rested their foreheads against each other and smiled like idiots. Y/N turned back to her book, wrapping her arm around Bucky’s and resting her head on his shoulder. Bucky smiled and returned to his reading.
——————
Y/N and Bucky walked home near sunset, holding hands the whole time. Sam questioned about where they were all day. Bucky simply said they went reading. Sam could tell by the look on Y/N’s face that unfortunately that was true. “Don’t you guys want to have fun?” Bucky chuckled. “Says the guy who stayed here and watched tv all day.” Sam laughed. “Touché. I guess I should do something today. I’ll go fetch us dinner.” Sam got up from his bed, grabbed his keys, gave Bucky a wink, and left.
Y/N stood awkwardly, not knowing what to do. However, she knew exactly what she wanted to do right now. I just want his lips on mine. Bucky thought the same thing. Unsure of who would crack first, Y/N sat down on the bed. Bucky looked at her sitting there, looking perfect. He couldn’t stop himself from biting his lip. Y/N took note of this and shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Bucky also sat on the bed and remembered Y/N’s advice from earlier. Sometimes things are better left unspoken. But Bucky doesn’t want to leave it unspoken how amazing Y/N looks. He turned to Y/N and leaned in for a kiss. Y/N hovered her lips over his, teasing him a little before meeting his parted lips. The kisses quickly escalated. Y/N’s hands found their way into Bucky’s hair and she lightly tugged him. Bucky’s hands rested on her hips, squeezing them every so often. Bucky slipped his tongue gently in Y/N’s mouth, earning a moan from her. The moan gave Bucky a rush, pulling Y/N closer to him. “You’re so beautiful, doll.” He said in a raspy voice. Y/N was now sitting on Bucky’s lap, where she could feel his member harden. Y/N broke the kiss to leave a trail of kisses along his neck, earning a grunt from him. “We should stop.” Y/N said in between breaths. Bucky’s lips found their way back to Y/N’s. “Yeah, we should.” But neither of them could detach from the other. Suddenly, the two hear keys jiggling in the door. Y/N squeals as she jumps off of Bucky. The two sit a few feet apart, obviously out of breath. Y/N makes a last minute run to the bathroom to fix her hair. Bucky grabs a pillow and places it casually over his crotch. He runs a hand through his hair as Sam enters the room with a bag of food. “Thanks for helping me in by the way. The stupid lock is broken.” Bucky smiled softly, the only thoughts running through his mind were of Y/N. He didn’t know if he could keep it together when he sees her again.
Y/N comes out of the bathroom, looking normal and relaxed. She comes over quietly and grabs some food, avoiding eye contact with Bucky. Bucky watches her every move, finding perfection in all of it. Sam sat, clueless of how to understand this interaction. Y/N sits next to Bucky, resting her head on his shoulder as she ate. “Oh so you two are a thing now?” Sam asked. “Now you see that makes more sense why you’re being so weird today. I’m happy for you guys.” Bucky smiled and placed a kiss on top of Y/N’s head.
Before sleep that night, Bucky whispered in Y/N’s ear, “We’ll have to finish what we started sometime.” Bucky nibbled Y/N’s ear and placed a kiss on her neck before falling asleep.
——————
At the next mission, the team had to go indoors and split up to find the super soldiers. Y/N made it to them first, but she quickly felt her powers wipe away from her body. She entered a room with runes on the walls. Y/N looked around to see who might’ve done it, but she couldn’t imagine any of the super soldiers being capable of this. Y/N pulled her torturer’s necklace out of her pocket, securing it safely around her neck, the red light beginning to glow. While Y/N’s physical body remained standing where it was, her spirit temporarily transported to a different realm. “Are you joining the collective?” A voice whispered to her in the dark. “No. I just need to get out of here, away from the runes.” Y/N tried bargaining with the spirit. “Tsk tsk tsk. We only let you use the power if you join us. That is the price you pay.” Y/N looked around her, seeing only an abyss. She tried feeling her powers, they had returned. “And what if I don’t listen to you?” She said with a new confidence. “Then you’ll have even more people after you. Brutal people who want justice for the powers of the collective.” Y/N used her senses to feel around. There was something that she could grab onto with her telekinesis. She pulled the object closer to see a frail old woman in a robe. The woman had a look of shock on her face. “You’re not like the others. You looked behind the curtain. You must be one of the chosen ones. We permit you our power, you don’t have to join us.” The old woman bowed to Y/N, her weak legs kneeling on the ground. Y/N was incredibly confused but delighted to get this haggling over with.
Y/N was brought back to reality, where only a few milliseconds had passed. With her newfound powers from the necklace, she destroyed the runes by crumbling the walls around her. The super soldiers stood in shock. “That wasn’t supposed to happen.” One said to the other. “What will we tell him when he gets here?” Y/N started attacking the super soldiers that came after her. Sam and Bucky followed the noise and joined the fight. Bucky noticed that Y/N was wearing the necklace and her powers were different. He stayed close by her as he fought.
Y/N left in the middle of the fight, running out of the room. “What the hell?” Bucky yelled. Y/N climbed to the rooftop, where she felt a formidable presence. “Well, well, well. Look who it is.” A man Y/N remembers from her captivity unleashed sparkles from his hands, casting runes on the ground. Y/N destroyed them at the blink of an eye, and that is when the man recognized her necklace. “You’re with the collective?” Y/N shook her head and the man looked worried. “Call for backup.” He spoke to his servant. Y/N and the man began fighting, and she had him pinned down before the super soldiers had arrived. The man tried reaching for the necklace, but Y/N twisted his arm tighter. “What are you waiting for? Kill me.” The man pleaded. Y/N grew frustrated. “Wait, you can’t kill me? What a twist!” He laughed hysterically. “Y/N!” Sam and Bucky yelled running towards the scene. “We need to take care of this guy.” Y/N said. The message didn’t get through to either of the men. “Little miss powerful doesn’t have what it takes.” The man smirked. “You. With the blue eyes. Kill me. Do it. You’ve done it hundreds of times before.” Bucky looked at Y/N reluctantly, and she looked down. Bucky aimed his gun at the man and fired, knocking him dead. The super soldiers and servants scurried away like mice. “Y/N, who was that?” Sam asked gently. Y/N couldn’t hear anything over the whispers from the necklace. She still held on to the dead man’s arm tightly. “Y/N?” Sam and Bucky looked at each other in worry.
Bucky pulled Y/N’s arm off of the man. “Y/N?” Bucky cupped Y/N’s cheeks with his hands. The look in her eyes was desolate. “Y/N snap out of it. God damn it.” Bucky walked away in frustration and kicked his gun. “Y/N!” Sam yelled her name louder. Y/N heard his voice faintly. She started to control the voices much like lowering the volume on a remote. “I have to go.” Was all she said before she jumped from one rooftop to another. Bucky started to chase after her, but Sam blocked him. “Don’t do it Buck. You won’t make it.” Bucky ignored him. “Bull shit. I did that all the time when I was the Winter Soldier.” Sam fought harder to keep him back. “You’re not the Winter Soldier anymore. I couldn’t even chase her right now if I flew after her. I’m sorry Bucky. We have to let her go.” Tears formed in Bucky’s eyes. Sam brought him into an embrace. “I don’t understand what happened to her.” Sam held back tears. “Don’t worry. We’ll find out. I’ll be sure of it.”

Home in a Motel Pool
Pairing: Dean Winchester x reader
Summary: Dean and you have some fun in the motel's pool.
A/N: This one took a little longer than I thought, but here it's! Wet Dean in motel pool for us. So canon compliant of me, I know I know. This piece is my submission for @deanwanddamons 's 1st Blogiversary and 2K follower celebration with the prompt in bold. Congrats again, honey! And it's also my part for @anaelsbrunette 's YAS’S POC READER CHALLENGE with the song Home by Depeche Mode. Thanks for the extra time and the marvelous challenge!
Warnings: sex in the pool, p in v, dirty talk
Tumblr media
Hunting was brutal. Even when the hunters won, it was a victory with no triumph-- there would be someone dead, always a corpse and loved one weeping as a reminder that you and the Winchesters couldn’t save everyone. You’d come around the town, tell the folks what they wanted to hear to get some information, kill the thing, and luckily save a person or two. It was a page from the emptiest stage, a show for a crowd of three: you, Sam, and Dean. Their own critics and praisers, doctors and patients, sinners and saints.
And if your hands were melted and molded into killing machines, you better pray for your heart to be made of anything but gold. That job didn't leave space or time for tenderness. In order to hunt the prey, you must become ferocious. Attack anything on sight, sing to the loneliest sound that’s the gunshot in the dark, pretend that you’ll make amends only to end up befriending the glorious end of the line that often came too soon.
Thing is, it wasn’t just about that. It would be easier if it was all about perfect soldiers and ultimate killers. A black and white world stained with crimson red would be the ideal, but there were always more colors.
Certainly, it wasn’t the most illustrious job one could get. If anything, it was unfair and underpaid and the seed of violence. Every hunter happened to do things they never could speak about, and all the blood got so normalized to the point red is just the color that pointed you were doing it right. like a good grade or a father’s head pat. Where was the seat on the table for any gentless to sit down in the chaos? In the thankful hugs from the mothers of the rescued children, in the pranks the boys came up with against each other for no other reason but childish nostalgia, in the nights where the three of you stopped and sat on Baby’s hood to watch the stars in silence, in the way Dean’s tough hands touched your cheek so lovingly, in the smell of the Impala’s wheels burning against the streets. Summarizing, when saving people wasn’t reasoning enough, kindness appeared glistening in the middle of the pandemonium, as a paragon of something good in cruelty.
Just like this moment.
‘’My body aches in places I didn’t even know that could hurt.’’ You groaned as you got out of the classic black car, hand on the back of your neck to apply some pressure. Even being thrown against a wall by some demon hurt less than sleeping in the backseat-- sweet mundane problems.
Sam scoffed before adding insult to injury, ‘’At least you were sleeping and didn’t have to hear the same cassette three times.’’
‘’Quit whining, you two. I was the one driving through two states.’’ Dean said in a huff, swirling the keys as the three of you walked towards Bonita Motel’s entrance. He placed an arm around your waist, his own way of showing affection in quietude. Your hand slipped inside his leather jacket’s pocket. ‘’Sides’, Baby’s backseat is comfortable and Zeppelin is awesome.’’
The youngest Winchester refrained his response to an eye roll and a mumble among the lines not when played three times in a row. You, though, turned your head to the side and offered your stubborn boyfriend a cynical smile.
‘’I prefer a bed.’’
He aimed at you with his signature lopsided grin, the one he knew that you loved, while you passed through the main door of the establishment. ‘’That’s not what you said last week.’’
‘’Guys, limits.’’ Sam pleaded, shaking his head at Dean’s comment before turning around. He made a chatter that quickly got old with the woman behind the counter, gaining two keys. The long haired hunter tossed one at his brother, who quickly grabbed it with his free hand.
‘’This is a good motel…’’ You commented as the three walked upstairs, the gleaming blue sight caughting your brown eyes. Your whole body shone as if it was really a beach and not only a cheap motel’s pool. Dean and Sam had never gone to the beach, but you grew up with salt aired weekends, a collection of swimsuits, and a loud family on the sand. You missed the sensation of being held by the ocean so dearly. It wouldn’t be the same, nothing was after you jumped in Dean’s Impala in New York; hustling for some other life, a better one like your parents when they came to the United States. Yet, a pool could be diverting and cozy. Pulling away from your man’s hold, you approached the small chlorine miracle. 
‘’There’s a pool!’’ You pointed out, as excited as a kid in a carnival. ‘’We should take a swim.’’
‘’You guys go. I have some research to do.’’ Sam nodded at the pool with his head, denying the request with a sleight of hand as he opened the lock of the room 209. ‘’Have fun, kids.’’
The green eyed man clicked his tongue when his brother disappeared with the craike of a door. He wasn’t exactly against the idea of jumping in the pool - apart from the germes, but his paranoia wouldn’t mind that much, not after trying endless motel’s bathtubs. The drive here had just been too long. Besides, if that crap motel had a well-cleaned pool, it probably had vibrating beds. He could use a massage. ‘’I think I’ll get crash in bed.’’
You arched an eyebrow. ‘’Didn’t you say that Baby’s backseat was comfortable to sleep?’’
‘’How taller than you I am, sweetheart?’’ He smirked as you walked back to him like you always did, your own north star in shape of a magnetic force of a man,
‘’Shush.’’ You slapped his chest playfully, wrapping your arms around Dean’s neck. ‘’Come on. Most motels we go to barely have a door, much less a pool. I miss going swimming. It’s a sunny day…’’ The childish joy in your tone metamorphosed into a newfound malice. ‘’You’ll get to see me in a bikini.’’
The Winchester wiggled his messy brows at your statement, suddenly reinvigorated as he placed his arms around your waist to bring you closer. Forget the body ache and all that, that was a way better reason to be sore in the bones later. ‘’You made some good points.’’
‘’I always do.’’ You kept the adamant tone, even when you could feel his breath on your cheek, those green eyes so livid when looking at you. God, you had to put a period here before things escalated and you two ended up getting to right in the middle of the hall. You attempt to make a joke: ‘’Darling it’s better, down where it’s wetter.’’
He knew it was a prompt from The Little Mermaid-- you two had watched two days ago in Tupelo, in a vintage television after killing a Ghoul, while Sam got some junk food. Yet, the kind of smile that brought to his face held anything but purity. A simple conversation became double-edged with Dean Winchester. You two often ended up breathless, either from fighting or from doing more entertaining dances. You should’ve seen that one coming.
‘’I know another wet spot.’’ He’d say, unholy significance trapped in each word as his right hand started to motion over your skin, guiding his greedy finger under your skirt. Your mouth was set in a grim line, a surprisingly determinate attempt to hold back a moan. You and Dean could do it in the pool, unite the good infant memories with the tent-like emotions of adulthood to make a grand deal.
‘’You’ll get all of me wet.’’ You kissed the corner of his lips, smoothly pulling away with a wink. So much self control. ‘’Hurry up, cowboy.’’
You grabbed your bag and rushed to room 208 to change your clothes, leaving an astonished, mildly turned on Winchester behind. Getting in the bathroom, which didn't stink for once, you swiftly changed into the bikini. A jade green one, directly from Brazil’s brand Cia Maritma. If you squint your eyelids hard enough, you could still put a name to each face that was with you when you wore it for the first time in the calmer days. All the long gone friends and the daily sunbath in your caramel skin.
Decided to leave the past well enough alone, you just smiled in melancholy and turned around, facing your reflex in the mirror. You looked hot. Dean surely would agree about that, especially with the way the top brought up your breast.
Arriving in the room to your boyfriend ready for the swim, you couldn’t help checking him out. You were attracted to the way the righteous man’s body was built since the first glance, addicted since the first touch. His shoulder, the freckles on his nose, and the way he wasn’t all defined, yet had the muscles right in the certain spots. You took off your hairpin, hair falling on your shoulder into a brown sea, like the waves crashing against the ocean rocks. The smell of your sweat and orange monopolizing the edges of everywhere, mainly Dean’s senses. He relished on how soft your skin was compared to his, how your accent tingled his insides, and the way you swing your hips while walking. Your boobs almost jumping at his face because of the tiny bikini only aroused him more.
The place had to get some credit. For a dive motel, it was more than they’d picture. Manageable bathrooms and safe locks, the pool glimmering blue with a small tree by the right side. It was gorgeous.
A dazzling breeze whispered through your bodies, causing you to shiver slightly and Dean to get sweet smelling sheets clinging to his knees and feet. Fucking tree. You could taste the friction swallowing the atmosphere, a report of what was near.
Before you could say anything, Dean grumbled as he pokes a leaf away. ‘’It’s gonna rain.’’
‘’It will.’’ You agreed, holding his hand to pull him closer, well-aware that your body would scare away any linger of adorable grumpiness. ‘’But who cares about raining when you’re in a pool?’’
It's the kind of question that doesn't need an answer, it briefly exists to make Dean distracted in wonder just now, a pause between seconds as you jump in the pool first. The water splashing around with a brutal sound. Your body seems to recall an old memory, how you made a lark of anything with your siblings in the sea,  how you used to feel like the beaches were a peculiar way of God to show the living how his touch would feel like. Every fiber of your body missed this.
Dean went in too, emerging to the marvelous sound of your laugh. He glanced at you, now less of a hunter and more of a man. The drops on your face could easily be confused with tears, yet the way you grinned and threw water at him couldn’t leave space for any other world but happiness. The Winchester often noticed your longing for cultural things that you no longer had in the palm of your hand. It was stupid, he even felt somehow resposible for taking you away of everything you ever knew only to coaxe you through the road not taken— full of bumps and blood and undecked halls. Then you’d smile, you’d wrap your arms around him like you were doing in that exact moment, and he would see that the drops all over your face are flickering with your chortle.
What other choice would Dean have, what other option could he ever make himself pick, if not to place his hands on your hips? So it goes. He put his rough hand on your, each tender touch seeming to make the bruises there clear up.
The hunter was leaning in to kiss you as a wave of water met his face.
‘’Ops!’’
He narrowed his eyes, spilling out the water. ‘’You are gonna pay for this.’’
‘’I’d like to see you try, Kansas boy.’’
Yeah, you once were raised in the water, such an important part of your identity which you didn't wish to lose, yet slowly slipped beyond your reaches. But you had Dean, you had adventure, and you had the motel’s shitty pool. If you could find contentment in that, you should know that who you were wasn’t lost. You were still the five years old who played in the plastic pool, the seventeen girl who grabbed your cellphone’s lantern and went looking for what was making a noise at 3am, the twenty years old who jumped in a car with two hunters and a craving for finding her true home. You were all of them at once. 
Heaven sent the only true friend you could call yours and you’re under his lips. Dean’s crashing his mouth with yours, hungry like an animal after your playful war. You two are soaked, and so is your pussy. He pressed your against the border of the pool, your back to the wall of it. The water rushes in and you couldn’t care less. When did a bikini start to look like too much clothing?
Breaking the kiss, the Winchester glanced at you. The green of all the wild gardens localized in his orbs, dappled with stars and desire. Waiting for his touches, enjoying when he took his time with you was always worthwhile. Today, though, you needed him fast and dirty and raw.
There was nothing you'd rather than spread your legs, so you did it. Dean’s smart fingers quickly ripping your panties and brushing against your heat. He let out an annoyed huff, missing the satisfaction of your wetness around his digitals, how he knew you were a mess for him and him only. The pool’s water didn’t let it much evident, he’d have to fuck you even harder, make sure you were still needy for his cock.
You whined, clinging to his touch with a swing of hips. His hand covering your pussy as Dean applied some pressure, savoring the way your body winced and your eyes shut close, a beautiful moan leaving your lips. He couldn’t wait to eat you out later after he made you come in this stupid pool. Hedonism made his blood thicker-- like he was a calm sea before you, and now his waters were violent and hungry for destruction. 
He pulled his hand away. ‘’Dean…’’
‘’Don’t worry, sweetheart.’’ His throbbing cock entered you, voice even deeper as he spoke. ‘’Gonna give you what you want.’’
You placed your legs around his waist and he held your thighs underwater, the sky spilling out its own water above. It didn’t stop two. Your hand on his shoulders, nails sinking in seemed to be a combustible for Dean to go harder inside of your. His hips attacking yours as his mouth kissed your neck with bites.
‘’Dean, please.’’ You pleaded, warm walls squeezing his long dick. ‘’More.’’
‘’All my cock is for you, honey. You get all of it, fucking you, scratching you open.’’ The eldest Winchester said, his voice so low and sensual. You could come only from his talking. ‘’That’s what you want, huh? You want me to fuck that pretty cunt, mark you up inside this shitty pool.’’ His digital reached your clint and you growled. Dean kept his dick inside you, unable to pull away from the heavenly sensation of being inside you. ‘’Wanna know something? I can’t wait to come inside that tight pussy right here.’’
He increased the rhythm, pounding you even faster and rougher as you tried to keep up, the lack of synchrony causing his cock to reach and pull inimaginable pleasures inside you, all turning more brutal and necessary. The pool had its own waves, your and Dean’s movements causing a chaos ocean chaos in it.
The heat and the sickliest, you were drowning in pleasure with each thrust to a desperate beat that his heart echoed. All your pretty noises tangled with his breathless howls. The rain’s drops becoming one water with the pool as you and him became one with your intertwined bodies, only to grow apart again and come back in need for more.
Your and your lover’s figures distorted on the reflex of the pool water, washing away any piece left of purity as you moved in a hurry when you finally reached your orgasm. Your cunt tightening around his hardness was too much to bear, making Dean come after you.
He rested his forehead against yours, breathless faces with closed eyelids darting together. The heat calmed down by the water. Dean dared to look at you, but not to pull away. His cock remained inside your tight cunt and he caressed your cheek gently. That woman pounded from within and is pinning him down to earth, like you are his own gravity, the glimpse of relief, the lover’s photographe that gives the soldier’s battle a meaning.
‘’There’s a saying in my country.’’ You said suddenly, opening your brown eyes as he lifted his head to greet yours with his forest ones.
Dean captured your small nose, your desirable lips, your big eyes, your gorgeous tan skin, the signals he had map of on his lips. His thumb still stroked your face as his cock took its time to weaken inside your pussy. ‘’Yeah? What’s it?’’
‘’Quem está na chuva é pra se molhar.’’ He arched his eyebrows, a silent request for an english version. The Winchester knew around ten words in your mothertongue. Half pet names, half cussing. You pecked his plump lips. ‘’There's no literal translation, some things just lose their core if you try to put them to another language. It would be like if you are in the rain you want to get wet. It would be another way to say if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.’’
‘’I gotta say, you look pretty hot when you say those things.’’ You smirked. You rolled your eyes playfully, fingernails tenderly fondling the back of Dean’s neck under his haircut. ‘’Do you miss it?’’
‘’My country?’’
‘’Yeah. Not just your country but your language, your friends, your life there.’’ He shrugged, secretly scared of the answer. ‘’It’s not like we go to the same places you used to go to. I see how many bikinis you carry around.’’
Which was the main reason he booked that motel. You didn’t need to know that. The childish joy you had with the surprise was enough for his credit.
‘’No. Well, I still speak my language when I’m mad at you.’’ Dean chuckled. Whenever you two got in a heated argument, your inner latina would come out and jump at him in both languages at once. It was supposed to be serious, but mostly got him all hot and bothered. Your accent was just too sexy, especially when you were angry. ‘’But no, not really. I miss situations and people, but not how it was. It was a good life, but it wasn’t the one I was supposed to have.’’ You pulled him to you by his neck. ‘’I thank you, you know? For bringing me here. For showing me home, Even for the tears and the fear. I finally I’ve found where I belong.’’
Tranquility engulfed the atmosphere momentarily as comfortable as a silent sleeper, the rain no longer coming, giving stage to a sunny sky. You and Dean, twisted together like that was all serenity you could relish on. You both quiet in the afterglow, his cock no longer hard but neither wanted to pull away. He laid his head on your shoulder, nuzzling into your neck. He certainly would bring you to a beach as soon as he could, maybe pop the pretty question on his knees there. For now, thought, he could enjoy thar simple moment.
‘’After my house was burned to the ground, I didn’t think I’d have another one. I was always rolling around the country, never really stayed in a place for too long. I didn’t want to call some random walls my home and have it destroyed in my face again.’’ Dean said, his thumbs caressing your thighs underwater. Since his first breath near you, he knew he was a goner. Even better, he knew he wasn’t a goner, a nomad, or a lonely wolf anymore. Dean Winchester once swore he would never come back home after what happened in there, and then you appeared. The hot latina who kept up with his stupidity and didn’t think twice before calling him out on his bullshit, and was always there for him and actually loved him-- not besides the job, but with all the things being a hunter included, all the ugly acts he had to go through. You believed he was good and worthy. His house burned, but you gave him a home. For the first time in so long, Dean felt warm and happy and loved. ‘’But you gave me a home. Without the apple pie life and all that. You, me, and Sammy-- fighting the good fight, just the three of us. This is my home.’’
To be a hunter was to be gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid, always carrying the heaviest cross ever made like a soldier’s duty that wouldn’t end with a couple years of trocious war. This treacherous slope was forevermore. A hunter life, all the fraunds and the paid phone calls and the running away with laughs empty of joy, the song from the wrong side of town. But fuck, all the saving and the excitment and the hustled love made a dance for the melody and suddenly it was worth it. All the tender parts, the new restaurants every week, the jokes in the car, the hidden chortles in the dark places. Sam. Dean. Dean and all this am out of love and loyalty he gave to you.
Everything was worth it to be in his arms.
He brought you back home.
