CB's Room 🐺 Ep. 41

Genre: SMUT(ish?), Camboy!Chan

Warnings: shitty writing 100/10, dirty talk kinda, handjob, daddy kink debatable tho, mentions of a blowjob??? I don't know how warnings work sorry,,,

A/N: its SUNNYS BDAY HAPPY BDAY BABY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH IM SORRRY I SUCK AT WRITING THOUGH @starrychannies MUAH

A/N 2: I tried to add the read more three times but my computer won't save the editions please bear with me until I wake up 🤩

A/N 3: hehe i fixed it

(I don't remember who owns the gif sorry sighs)

CB97 is now ONLINE.

"...and I guess that's how I ended up producing music." The boy finished his rant with a cute smile before biting his lip and moaning softly, the pace of his hand going down a little as he rolled his chair closer to the computer, trying to catch on another comment.

You see, for anyone who didn't know how "Chan's Room" worked, it would have been weird seeing the boy talk about his passion for ten minutes straight while jerking off, but for his loyal subscribers shows like this one were the most special. The feeling of intimacy between those who watched him and himself caused him a different kind of excitement.

"Hm... You guys have any more- ¿Am I coming soon? Nah, not yet, don't think so. Just edging at the moment. Anyway, ¿Have any more questions?". Chan had been live for about half an hour now, the head of his cock giving it away as it became redder and redder each minute that went through. "Doesn't it hurt?" some asked, and yes. Of course it hurt, "But that's just part of the fun" Chan would answer.

As much as he understood why some viewers wanted him to end already, it was not on his plans to do so... yet. He wanted to have some fun, maybe tease his subscribers before allowing everyone to cum with him.

Chan loved talking to his followers, anyway, be it about sex, life, space or whatever, and as long as there were no private questions about his personal life, he was fine with answering pretty much anything.

Reading through his comments, he answered a few he found fitting. "How big is it?" Someone said. Chan laughed and winked before answering "Come over and find out.". That way he went on a few minutes until a question caught his attention.

Chan's hand pressed around his cock a little harder, eliciting a moan to slip past his lips once he re read it.

"Wha- What's been my best sex experience...?" He read, stuttering slightly, as he bit his bottom lip, a shaky breath making its way out when his hand moved slower along his shaft. "Well... thats a good one..." The boy chuckled and rolled his chair back once again, letting his viewers have a full view of his naked body. "Uh... There was a girl back in the day... Man, she was one fo a kind..." A breathy laugh found it's way past the boy's lips and his hand halted its movements. "I don't know if I should tell you this... but I'll do anyway, so let's keep it a secret, yeah? Be good and keep this secret for me..." Chan said as a smile creeped onto his face. He took a deep breath before beginning his story.

"So, this girl, we'll just call her... Petal." The young boy gripped his dick from the base while his other hand started rubbing at the tip with his palm, a sigh resonating in the room right before he continued speaking.

"Petal was good, too good for her own sake. She always knew exactly which buttons to press and she had me mad crazy, head over heels for her." The boy bit his lip, his cock twitching in his hand at the memories. "My best experience was definitely with Petal. We were out supposed to just have dinner, yknow? Haven't seen each other in a while... But then I feel how she's touching my leg under the table, and a second later she's also under it undoing my pants..." Chan sighed again, his fist now focusing on the head of his dick as his story went on. "Just imagine, there I was trying to keep my cool, ordering the food, while my babygirl was under the table sucking me off. She was usually really well behaved, and I never found out what went through her head that night, but it was great. Not long after I took her with me to the bathroom and fucked the audacity out of her, if course, I had her bend over all prettily for me, we almost got caught, even... Fuck, she was just stunning. That night was out of this world, guys... Out of this world..."

A loud moan made it past the boys lips, just recalling that night was enough to help him end most times and right now wasn't the exception. Resting his whole weight on the backrest of the chair, Chan's grip tightened around his hard cock and he started jerking off again, while his now free hand started playing softly on his balls. His closed eyes and slightly parted lips making him look angelic, contrary to what the rest of his body gave away. His hair was all messy, some locks already sticking to his forehead due to the sweat, and his cheeks were flushed a pretty red alongside his ears, chest and dick.

It was a sight to behold, and his viewers didn't hold back on letting him know this.

"Daddy looks so pretty" said some, "I can see you throbbing!" said others.

His laborated breathing gave away just how close to release he was as his hand started moving as fast as possible. Rolling a little closer to his computer as to give his viewers a better look, Chan spoke again.

"Fuck angel, daddy's gonna cum so good... So so good..." He finally opened his eyes again looking directly at the camera, a silent reminder of who was in charge "Am gonna cum for you and you're going to take it as the good dirty slut you are. You're gonna take all of it and thank me for it, is that clear? Now cum with me baby, let go..." He spoke sternly but agitated, and after just a few more seconds the boy's hand and chest was painted on white stripes.

Everything went quiet for a second, and then plenty of "Thank you's" and tips started rolling into the chat.

Chan smiled as he watched his computer screen and whirled slightly on his chair. After a few more minutes, he finally said his good byes, and with a last thank you, ended his live.

CB97 is now OFFLINE.

Aspects & Fanfics Ep. 41: Beware the Paladin Part 1: The Rampage

Today it’s the beginning of a multipart episode where I feature something that is very close to me, not because I have gone through it myself, but because I was witness of a very close family member going through it when I was very young. It is bipolar disorder, a very real illness of the mind that makes the patient go through periodic episodes of euphoria and depression. I have seen first hand the consequences of this illness, but I’ve also seen that a person going through this can have a very normal, happy and productive life if treated, so I wanted to feature that too. It is my biggest wish to make a good depiction of bipolar disorder both for any readers that might be going through it and also in the memory of that family member that is no longer in this world now. This story is in her memory. I hope you enjoy it and see ya next time with part 2.

SYNOPSIS: Roman has gotten worse of his illness. Now he can barely get out of bed and suffers fever and pain. Remus, seeing his brother so devastated, decides to ignore Logan’s warnings and gives him a pill of hope one hour too early. As a result, Roman transforms into an entity called the Paladin and starts wreaking havoc in the Mind Palace, while Thomas starts losing his sanity and Joan, with the help of Talyn and Kenny, has to step in to give a hand, both to Thomas and to his Sides.

WARNINGS: Depiction of a mental illness. Depiction of slight violence. Suicide implied mentions. Romantic prinxiety, logicality and dukeceit.

EPISODE INDEX

[intro sequence]

[Virgil is in the living room, with a face of huge despair. Patton is next to him, trying to comfort him. Chris is sitting down on the couch. They have already removed his plaster, but he’s still going through rehab and can barely walk without crutches. Whining sounds are heard from the upstairs bedroom, its coming from Roman. He’s whining incoherent sounds, as if he was in pain or under a lot of suffering]

VIRGIL: I can’t… I can’t stand this… I can’t stand seeing Roman suffering like this, dad!

PATTON: I know, kiddo, I know… have some patience, it’s only one hour left till the next pill, and then he’ll feel better.

VIRGIL: Yes, but for how long? Four hours? And then he’ll be back to this hell. I wish I could switch places with him, dad.

PATTON: And then it would be Roman who would be suffering for you. You must be strong. Don’t you lose hope too, Virgil.

VIRGIL: I try, but every day is worse than the previous one. I have the feeling that one day he’ll just…

[Virgil gets choked up and covers his face with both hands. Patton holds his arms around him and rests Virgil’s head on his chest, while Virgil starts weakly whining like a child]

CHRIS: [in tears] It hurts me so much to see you like this, dad… I wish Thomas could get better sooner. What is happening to him that can have such devastating effects on us? This isn’t normal.

PATTON: I know, Chris. I can’t even imagine what Thomas must be going through.

CHRIS: How long has it been since he last came around?

PATTON: A couple of months. Since the storm incident, he hasn’t returned to the Mind Palace. I think it’s better this way though.

CHRIS: Why?

PATTON: Imagine that he saw Roman in that condition. That would only make Thomas feel worse, which in turn would make Roman get even worse.

CHRIS: I don’t think he could get much worse at this point, granddad. At least, I don’t think he could resist it.

PATTON: Let’s not lose faith. They say that the darkest point in the day is the moment before dawn. Soon, things will get better, you’ll see.

CHRIS: If only you were right, granddad. I really wish you’re right.

[Remus and Janus appear]

JANUS: Hi, guys.

PATTON: Oh, hi, Janus. Hi, Remus.

[cleaning his tears quickly, then clearing his throat and trying to speak as if he was okay]

VIRGIL: Oh, hi, guys… I… I didn’t know you were coming over…

JANUS: You don’t need to save face, Virgil. We know how much you’re going through and we’re here for you, sharing your suffering. [offers him a yellow handkerchief] Here, you may need it.

VIRGIL: Thank you so much, my friend. It’s okay, I have my own. I wouldn’t want to stain your handkerchief with my makeup.

JANUS: That’s what handkerchiefs are for, aren’t they? Don’t worry.

REMUS: Can I see him? I really need to see my brother.

VIRGIL: I wouldn’t advise it right now. He’s in one of his worst moments. It’s been three hours since the last pill of hope lost effect.

REMUS: I can cope with anything, you know me. Please, Virge. I promise I won’t disturb him and maybe my company could relief him a bit.

VIRGIL: It’s weird. You, asking me for permission to do something, when you usually do whatever you want all the time.

REMUS: And I do. Under normal circumstances I’d already be walking up the stairs without asking. But I don’t want to cause you any more distress than what you’re already going through, so…

VIRGIL: And I thank you for that, Remus… Okay, if you insist, he’s upstairs. Will you please excuse me if I’m not going with you? I don’t want Roman to see me like this.

REMUS: Of course, I know the way.

JANUS: I’ll keep you company while he’s upstairs, okay?

VIRGIL: Thanks, Jan.

[Remus goes upstairs and enters Roman’s room. As soon as he sees him, his mouth gets open wide and his eyes stare at Roman in horror. Roman is in a worse state he could have imagined. He’s lying in bed, shivering from head to toe, with his face white as a ghost except his cheeks, deep red for a more dramatic contrast, he also has deep dark eye bags, his eyes full of tears and his forehead full of sweat]

REMUS: [emotional] Roman… oh, my goodness… what the f… [bleep] is happening to you?

ROMAN: [shivering, trembling voice] Re… Remus? Is… is that you? I can hardly see and your voice sounds so distant… come closer, please…

[Remus sits down next to him and holds his hand]

REMUS: I’m here, Roman…

ROMAN: Please… don’t leave me alone… I’m scared…

REMUS: Never… [a little angry] Why isn’t Virgil here by your side, with you?

ROMAN: Don’t… don’t be harsh on him. I asked him to stay downstairs… It hurts him so much to see me like this… I don’t want him to… to see me like this…

REMUS: I understand…

ROMAN: How… how long it’s left till the next pill of hope?

REMUS: Virgil said one hour.

ROMAN: Still one hour left? [whines] I don’t… I don’t know if I can handle this for so long… My whole body aches, I can feel the fever burning and freezing me at the same time. But the worse is that sometimes I lose contact with reality and have horrible visions about a weird guy dressed like me but with a crimson sash and a devious, crazy face, who tries to take me… I fight him, I struggle with him so that he can’t take me, until I return to reality and he disappears, leaving me exhausted as if the fight had been real… Logan said this illness would get worse, but I couldn’t imagine it could be this horrible, not even in my worst nightmares… I can’t… I can’t wait for this hour to end to have some relief for these visions. I must… but I can’t…

[Remus looks at the bedside table and notices the bottle of pills is standing there. Then, determined, he takes the bottle and grabs one pill, summoning a glass of water]

REMUS: Then don’t wait, Roman. Take the pill now.

ROMAN: But Logan said that it was dangerous… I can’t… I want it so badly, but I…

REMUS: Oh, come on, it’s less than an hour left already. I don’t think anything bad could happen when it’s so little time left for your next dose. Why not taking it now and saving yourself some minutes of anguish?

[Remus can see the conflict in Roman’s face. He desperately wants to take the pill and end his suffering at least for the time being, but he also remembers Logan’s warning. Eventually he can’t resist the urge to take the pill]

ROMAN: Okay… You’re right, what could possibly happen? It’s less than one hour left, if there’s any backlash, it shouldn’t be as bad as if I had to wait for four hours, right?

REMUS: Exactly. Here, take it with this glass of water.

[Roman puts the pill in his mouth, then fills it with water. He has one last brief moment of doubt that lasts for two seconds… then swallows]

REMUS: That’s right. Now hold on until it makes effect, it shouldn’t take long…

[Roman smiles at Remus. At first it’s a wholesome, weak smile full of gratitude. Then, slowly, color starts returning to his face and the smile gets wider]

ROMAN: I can already feel the effect… the relief… is so good…

[Roman start softly giggling as if he was the happiest being on existence. However, the giggle slowly turns into cackle, at first happy cackle, then he starts laughing with an unsettling high pitch crazy laughter, with his eyes open wide, almost as if they were gonna pop out of the eye sockets. Remus quickly realizes something’s going wrong]

REMUS: Roman? Are you okay?

ROMAN: [high pitch voice] Okay? I’m better than okay! I’m free! [screeches] FREEEEE!

[there’s a crimson flashlight, then Roman is there standing still on the bed with an unsettling grin. He’s wearing his prince outfit, but his sash is crimson]

REMUS: Roman?

PALADIN: I’m not Roman! Roman is no more! I’m the Paladin! Ready to fight for Thomas’ dreams, to make them a reality at all cost! No matter the difficulties! No matter reality itself at all! Now, I’ll get rid of all the obstacles scattered around this Mind Palace! And nothing and no one can stop me!

[suddenly, the Paladin kicks Remus right in the face. Remus falls to the floor, completely unconscious. The bottle of pills falls open and the pills get scattered everywhere. Then the Paladin sinks down with a maniac evil cackle. The others, hearing the bump noise, run upstairs and only find Remus unconscious, with a drop of blood on his nose]

JANUS: Remus! Remus, are you okay?

VIRGIL: What has happened here? Where is Roman!?

[Remus starts slowly regaining consciousness]

REMUS: Roman… the Paladin… Roman…

JANUS: Come back to me, please.

[Remus shakes his head and gets back on his senses]

REMUS: Roman! Where is Roman!?

VIRGIL: That’s what I’ve been asking! What’s happened!?

REMUS: I’m sorry… This is my fault, I’m sorry…

VIRGIL: [tranquil fury] Remus, what did you do?

REMUS: I was seeing Roman in so much suffering, so much distress and pain… that I couldn’t bear it… so I… I gave him a pill.

VIRGIL: [horrified] You… what!?

REMUS: I’m sorry, I…

VIRGIL: [yelling angry] You crazy idiot, what have you done!? Logan warned us that Roman would go crazy if he took the pill too early!

REMUS: It’s more than that… He’s transformed.

VIRGIL: Transformed? Into what?

REMUS: He called himself the Paladin. He transformed in the blink of an eye, then kicked me in the face and I don’t remember anything else.

VIRGIL: Oh, Remus… you really messed everything up this time. And you’ve done this kind of stuff all the time, but this time you’ve overdone yourself!

REMUS: I’m sorry, I just… couldn’t stand seeing Roman like that, I couldn’t…

VIRGIL: Do you think I enjoyed seeing him in that state? Do you think I rejoice in the suffering of others like you do? If I could have given him the pill I would have! But Logan was categorical, it was dangerous to do so! But you always do what you want. It was such a mistake to let you go upstairs and see him without supervision!

JANUS: Okay, calm down, Virge. We’ll have time for that later. Now the important thing is to know where Roman… or this Paladin… has gone to.

LOGAN: I can help you answer that…

[Logan’s voice behind them startles them, but they get even more startled when they see him. Logan is at the door totally bruised, his necktie tore apart, his shirt tattered, his glasses cracked, and there’s a stain of blood on the corner of his mouth and bruises all over his face and arms. He barely stands still for one second before collapsing in front of them]

PATTON: Logan!

[Patton runs to attend him. Logan opens his eyes weakly]

PATTON: Logan, what happened?

LOGAN: Roman… no, the Paladin… came to my room and attacked me. I couldn’t do anything to defend myself against his maniac wrath… Someone gave Roman a pill too much, right?

REMUS: I’m sorry, it was my fault…

LOGAN: That doesn’t matter right now… Listen, because I’ll be knocked out and won’t wake up until the Paladin’s gone. You have to find him… Try to contain him as much as you can… because he’ll be wreaking havoc all over the Mind Palace… and I can’t do anything about it… When the Paladin is on the loose… Logic is literally thrown out of a window and irrationality reigns in the Mind Palace… [starts losing consciousness] … wait for… pills effect… wear off… be careful… guys…

[Logan loses consciousness]

PATTON: [scared and distressed, shaking Logan] Logan? Logan!? Are you okay!? Logan!!?

VIRGIL: [checks him] Relax, dad, he’s only unconscious. Alive, but unconscious. Help me put him on the bed.

[Patton and Virgil grab Logan and place him on the bed]

VIRGIL: We must find Roman before it’s too late. Let’s go.

REMUS: I’ll go with you.

VIRGIL: [angry] No! You’ve caused enough trouble already. Just stay here, and take care of Logan. I hope at least you can do that right, since you weren’t good enough to take care of Roman. At least I’m relaxed knowing that my son is here to help you so that you don’t mess up again.

REMUS: [with a sad face of guilt] As you wish, Virgil.

VIRGIL: Now, let’s go! Hurry up, guys!

[Virgil, Janus and Patton leave the bedroom sinking down. Remus sits down on a chair next to Logan]

REMUS: I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…

[meanwhile in the real world, Thomas phones Joan]

JOAN: Hi dude.

THOMAS: [excited voice, talking quickly] Hi, Joan! I needed to call you! Do you wanna know why? Because you’re my best friend of course! Okay, because of that but also because I’m going to Hollywood right now! I made it, Joan! I made it!

JOAN: What? How? Did you get a callback or something? Congrats, dude!

THOMAS: Of course I got a callback! I got all of the callbacks! And I’m gonna fly now to seize them and be a star!

JOAN: Whoa, whoa, slow down… I can barely follow you!

THOMAS: I know you can’t, because no one can! I’m unfollowable! I’m gonna be the ruler of the world and everyone will bow before me! You too will bow before me, because I’m gonna be a star!

JOAN: Wait… what? Thomas… Did you get boozed or something?

THOMAS: Drink is for the weak! I don’t drink! I never drink! Except if I’m thirsty, then I do. A star can do what he wants and I’m a star in the world of cartoons! I’m gonna be a cartoon too!

JOAN: [confused and concerned] You’re… you’re starting to scare me, Thomas… Are you okay?

THOMAS: Don’t be scared of me! Be scared of the others, they’re everywhere! They don’t want me to be a star! But I’m gonna be a star, no matter what! See ya, Joan! I’m gonna jump to stardom!

[Thomas hangs up. Joan stays there in silence, stunned for a second]

JOAN: Talyn! Talyn, come here!

TALYN: What is it, Joan?

JOAN: Something’s wrong with Thomas! Very wrong. I need to go check on his Mind Palace to see what’s going on. In the meantime, wear a mask and go check on Thomas.

TALYN: What do you mean something’s wrong with Thomas?

JOAN: I still don’t know, it’s like he’s… like he’s lost his mind completely. He was yelling incoherent stuff… I don’t know, it’s hard to explain… [sudden face of horror] Jump to stardom!? Talyn, you must hurry! I think Thomas is gonna jump from somewhere high and he could injure or kill himself! You go to Thomas’ apartment while I try to fix things up from inside his Mind Palace!

TALYN: Okay, be careful in the Mind Palace, Joan.

JOAN: I’ll be careful, I promise. Kenny had a free day today, try to call him for assistance. If he can’t, try Dominic or Dahlia. Who knows if you might need help.

TALYN: [grabbing a mask and rushing to the door] Okay, I’m right on it!

JOAN: Okay… going to Thomas’ Mind Palace, but where should I go? I know, the voice of reason there is Logan. I’ll go to Logan’s room.

[Joan concentrates, then sinks down. They rise up in Logan’s room and find it devastated]

JOAN: What… in the world… has happened here?

IAN: [suddenly yelling] Who’s there!?

JOAN: AAAAAHHHHH! Holy f… [bleep] , you scared me, Ian!

IAN: I scared you? You scared me, Joan! What are you doing here?

JOAN: Thomas is acting weird in the real world, so I came to see if everything was going okay here. I can see it isn’t.

IAN: You’re right, it isn’t. Roman has gone nuts and is wreaking havoc all over the Mind Palace.

JOAN: That explains Thomas’ behavior… Roman, you said? I would have expected Remus to act like that, but Roman? What happened?

IAN: I know this through my brother’s memories. Remus gave Roman one pill too much for his illness, you know, the one caused by Roman’s lack of hope. It caused Roman an overdose that transformed him into someone who calls himself the Paladin. Essentially, it’s like a Mad Hatter version of Roman, anxious to push Thomas to follow his dreams.

JOAN: Well, that doesn’t sound very much different to the regular Roman…

IAN: Yes, but the Paladin will try to do that through delusional means. The first thing he did was attacking Logan and rendering him unconscious after beating the heck out of him. He’s now lying on Roman’s bed in his room, Remus is taking care of him.

JOAN: Holy sh… [bleep]

IAN: With Logan out of the picture, Thomas lacks his capacity for logical thinking and the Paladin is making it impossible for him to distinguish between reality and fantasy. He’s also destroying room after room in the Mind Palace, with that deteriorating his mental health. Who knows what Thomas could do under his influence.

JOAN: I think I get the idea… Please, tell me there’s something we can do.

IAN: Logan tried to say something before he passed out. He mentioned pills, effect, wear off…

JOAN: Perhaps he means that when the pill’s effect wears off, Roman will go back to normal.

IAN: I don’t know. Something tells me it’s not gonna be that easy, but that’s what I thought too. My only doubt is if it will be an hour, which is the time Roman had to wait to take the pill he took too early, or the whole four hours a pill usually lasts.

JOAN: I hope it’s the shorter option… Okay, then we must find the Paladin.

IAN: No, Joan, this place is not safe for you anymore. You should go back to the outer world and try to help Thomas from the outside.

JOAN: But I can’t just leave you.

IAN: We’ll be fine, don’t worry about us. Besides, you’ll be of more help if you prevent Thomas from doing something crazy.

JOAN: Are you sure?

IAN: Yes, I’m sure, don’t worry. Go now and we’ll call you if there’s any news.

JOAN: How will you call me?

IAN: You said that your Sides can hear what’s going on in this Mind Palace, right? We’ll get the message to them, and they’ll deliver it to you.

JOAN: Okay, that’s a good idea.

IAN: Now, go, Joan.

JOAN: Okay, if you insist. Be careful, you guys. I’ll do my best to help Thomas. [sinks down] See ya.

IAN: I know you will, Joan. Thank you for being such a good friend.

[Joan rises up near Thomas’ apartment, in a safe place where no one can see him. Talyn and Kenny are there talking to Thomas who has climbed a tree and is yelling from a high branch]

THOMAS: This will be my step one to victory! The stars are awaiting me and soon I’ll be among them! All I gotta do is jump!

TALYN: Thomas, please, don’t do that!

JOAN: [running towards Kenny and Talyn] What is going on!?

KENNY: Oh, Joan, thank goodness you’re here. Thomas will not listen to anyone. I’ve never ever seen him like this! And he’s threatening to jump!

JOAN: Thomas, listen to me! Calm down!

THOMAS: Oh, Joan, there you are! Look at me! I’m finally on top of the world! And no one can stop me!

[Joan takes a deep breath]

JOAN: Yes. Yes you are, Thomas, and I’m so proud of you.

TALYN: Joan, what are you…?

KENNY: Let them speak, Talyn, he’s known Thomas for the longest time, I bet he’s got an idea of some kind.

THOMAS: Yes! Thank you, Joan, I knew you would be proud of me! When I get my first role, I’ll make sure to mention you and your talent to the producers!

JOAN: Thank you, my dear good friend. I really appreciate it. But have you forgotten? The producers are on quarantine, like all of us. You won’t find them up there in the sky, not even if you jump.

THOMAS: Oh… Are you sure, Joan? I think I heard them talking to me just now.

JOAN: They did talk to you, but to say goodbye, because they were returning back to the ground and into your apartment. They’re waiting there to sign the contract. If you fail to sign the contract, your career will be over before it starts, and you don’t want that, right?

THOMAS: No, I don’t want that, you’re right.

JOAN: They’ve asked me to tell you that you must go down carefully, the same way you climbed that tree and then enter into your house so that they can give you the contract to sign.

THOMAS: I’m confused. Stardom is up there, and…

JOAN: [firm voice] Thomas, you know that producers have a busy schedule. They told me that if you don’t get down carefully in less than two minutes, they’ll go away and never contact you back. If I were you, I would hurry. And remember that if you jump, you’ll never find them, so climb back down carefully

THOMAS: No, Joan, tell them to stay! I’m coming down to meet them, I promise I won’t jump!

[Thomas starts climbing down the tree]

JOAN: That’s right, very good, Thomas.

[Thomas gets to the ground and approaches Joan]

THOMAS: Where are they? I want them to give me the contract.

JOAN: In your apartment, as I told you. Follow me.

[Joan enters the apartment followed by Thomas and the others.]

[A sign reads “To be continued, guys, gals and non binary pals”]

[end card]

[As soon as they all enter the apartment, Joan closes the door behind them and locks it with the key, keeping the key safe in their pocket. Then they all enter the living room]

THOMAS: Where are they, Joan? I can’t see them anywhere.

JOAN: Just wait, Thomas. They’re in the bathroom. You took so long to come inside, that they ended up needing to go. And they’ll probably take a lot of time. I heard that this afternoon they had gone to Taco Bell and ordered the spiciest menu, so imagine how their stomachs are right now. You don’t want them to meet you in a bad mood because they couldn’t use your bathroom, right?

THOMAS: Yes, you’re right. All right, I’ll wait. In the meantime, let’s sit down, shall we?

JOAN: Wonderful idea, Thomas. Wonderful idea. We could play some video games while we’re waiting, right?

THOMAS: But wouldn’t the producers find that unprofessional?

JOAN: No, of course not! Producers also play video games. Some producers even make video games, remember? They could be flattered if you happened to be playing one of their own video games, and that would give you extra points in your career. Right, guys?

TALYN: Right, Joan, you’re right.

THOMAS: All right, let’s play video games then. Anything to get to glory!

KENNY: [low voice to Talyn] Did Joan get a master in psychology and I didn’t know about it?

TALYN: [also low voice] No, it’s just that Joan is really good at improvisation and knows Thomas so well… They’re doing such a great job in keeping him distracted.

KENNY: What has happened to Thomas?

TALYN: I don’t know for sure, but something must have happened to his Sides. Joan has more information about it, they went to Thomas’ Mind Palace to find out before I called you. I hope that whatever is happening inside of Thomas’ Mind, his Sides can find the solution and fast. I don’t know for how long Joan will be able to keep up the act before Thomas spirals out of control again.

[Kenny looks at Thomas with a face of concern, while Thomas innocently plays Kingdom Hearts]

Analysis: Fjord's reaction to Wursh – CR C2 Ep058 0:29:14

Doing something a bit different. Instead of a full transcript this will be a body language read of Fjord after the analysis. I highly recommend rewatching the scene and just watching Fjord. He takes an epic face journey throughout that gives off a lot of his emotions while trying (badly) to mask them. All of Wursh's conversation with him outside and his friends talking to him afterwards is transcribed. This is a long analysis as well, but I finally feel like I really get Fjord.

The dynamics of how Fjord interacted with Wursh in Ep 58 stem from his childhood insecurities. Fjord tells The Mighty Nein afterward that he was an orphan raised in Driftwood Asylum, and mostly by other kids. (Ep 58 0:46:44) He was the only half-orc (Ep 58 0:48:11), probably the only orc at all. We know from Ep 11 he was judged a lot on his appearance. He grew faster than the other kids, but he was Stumpy, short. Big teeth. […] Just sort of mis-proportioned." (Ep 11 3:05:23) Nott calls him "pretty handsome, you know, for, like, a half-monster thing." (Ep 11 3:04:51) Fjords trying to stay reserved, but you can tell that stung, and he gets more uncomfortable the more she belabors her view of him as a monster.

Growing up the only half-orc in an institution, it's very likely that Fjord was treated as a monster and a threat by everyone growing up and that played into him being picked on (0:48:11). He viewed himself as, "A kid, just like anyone else," (Ep 11 3:05:14) but I doubt he was viewed that way. His orcish side was viewed as a brutish disposition to be overcome, but he was never allowed to be human, either. Other kids were afraid of him just for existing. The adults probably treated him like he was the aggressor in way more fights than he was, quick to assume his violence. Any kid that wanted to establish dominance in the pecking order would go after him to prove they were stronger than the monster. His height also made him more intimidating. We can see with Wursh he has a very child-like threat assessment around height. But Fjord wasn't strong, and he couldn't take too many punches, so mostly he just got the shit beaten out of him all the time and blamed for it by adults.

So, Fjord learned to view every interaction with people as a threat he needed to be prepared for. He wasn't good in a fight, and he didn't have anywhere to run as a kid, so he tries to flatter or intimidate to protect himself. He's an asshole because being a half-orc is seen as intimidating. He learned kids who are afraid of him are more likely to leave him alone. This is the easiest and most passive technique he has, so he relies on it. But if he knows he can't intimidate, he'll turn to being very charming. Make himself useful enough to keep around. This is why we see such duality in his interactions.

Vandran's crew is probably the first time he ever felt treated like an equal, like he belonged. That meant to world to him and he let down some of those barriers. Then everything went wrong. His sense of peace was blown apart that night. Angry, heartbroken, drowning, and desperate, Uk'otoa found him. Offered him salvation and power enough to stop people from threatening him. It seemed like just a dream, even when he washed up on the beach with the sword. He couldn't fight it, so he ingratiated himself.

He's aware that he's under this thing's power and threat. He doesn't want to do what it wants, but he's terrified of disobeying, of being outright crushed. But he's also afraid of being abandoned by that power. For once in his life he feels powerful and not just scared. That power has gained him strong allies who have his back. He's afraid the Mighty Nein will abandon him as useless without that power. He fits with this merry band of assholes. He's starting to trust them, even, terrifyingly, love them. They're all keeping the world at bay by being assholes (except Caduceus) and he feels like he fits. So, he's trapped. Ignoring it for a while was the best resistance he could muster.

Fjord was raised by human-folk. (Ep 58 0:41:46), it's the only culture he knows, but he was never allowed to be one of them. He was always treated as an orc. But he's painfully aware that he knows nothing about orcs, either. His interaction with Wursh came out of those deep-seated insecurities. All he knows about orcs is what humans told him. He knows it's bigoted and inaccurate, he's trying to learn the truth and keep an open mind, but it's also ingrained in his threat assessment. He thinks orcish culture values strength and dominance, so he went into the conversation with Wursh expecting he had to prove himself. He desperately wants to be respected and accepted by other orcs.

He wanted Wursh to see him as strong, but he also wanted to learn what it was like to be an orc from him. What's their culture like? It's a big missing piece of his sense of self. Wursh picked up on his desperation and bullshit right away. When Fjord said he was from the Menagerie Coast, Wursh realized exactly what was going on with Fjord, and Fjord realized he gave himself away. (Ep 58 0:35:39) But he had no backup plan, so he just dug in his heels and tried to play it cool. It didn't work. He didn't find Fjord threatening at all, more like a growling puppy.

When it started going south, Wursh tried to encourage him, but instead it felt like condescending pity. It made him feel weak. Caduceus also tried to bolster him, but again, he only made him feel pitied and weak because his friends didn't understand what was going on. Nott saw him struggling to hold up the mask and wanted to show him he didn't need it by teasing him and poking holes in it. But to Fjord, especially as a very bullied kid, that just made him feel even weaker, more insecure, and hurt. The teasing never feels like it could come from anyplace other than wanting to see him hurt, even if he's intellectually aware Nott cares for him on some level. He feels like he needs to give as good as he gets with her. But in this moment, he needed desperately to not look like she could hurt him. He needed to look stronger, so he exaggerated the tough guy routine.

When Fjord brushes off giving his name and abruptly leaves (Ep 58 0:40:59), Wursh feels like he's doing a disservice to this kid if he lets him get away with it. He tells Fjord he knows he's acting like this because he feels like he has something to prove, and he doesn't have to. I can read what Wursh is saying two different ways. Either he was saying don't let the temperament and traits of either your human or orc side rule you. Or don't let how people perceive you based on your blood rule you. Or, most likely, both. You are who you are, you feel what you feel. You are part of both, even when you're made to feel like you're part of neither. You're enough as you are. Trying to act tough will just get the attention of someone powerful enough to hurt you. Fjord knows he's right and the game is up, so he finally backs down.

It remains to be seen how much this lesson will change Fjord's behavior. But it did get him talking about his past to his friends. I don't think they quite understand yet. None of them went through the same thing. But Beau might understand some of the abandonment. Caleb may understand some of the daily fear. One day Nott may understand why he doesn't want to be seen as a monster for the body he's in (this will be tied to her own growth). Yasha understands his sense of loss and his fear of letting people get close. Caduceus may piece all of this together from that conversation. And Fjord may keep learning to trust not just his friend's power, but their compassion.

Scene runs: 0:29:14 to 0:45:31

Fjord is politely disinterested when they get to Wursh's smithy, quietly going over his notes.

0:29:28 Matt: "A tall and built half-orc. You see a thick chin beard of tough, course, black hair, bald head, arms covered in tattoos from, like, mid bicep down to the wrist."

Travis has a delayed reaction, and it isn't until "thick chin beard" that he starts looking uncomfortable. He shifts uncomfortably at the mention of tattoos.

Matt: "Wearing thick leather apron, trousers, no shirt under the apron under the vest and is just kind of sweating on the very edges."

As Matt describes his appearance, Travis has to remember to breathe from nerves. He starts fidgeting with his beard. He's happy to let Caduceus take the lead, although he stays tense.

0:30:27 Matt: "And standing up, he's pushing about 7-foot. He's a very tall bugger."

Fjord starts looking even more intimidated and insecure.

0:30:31 Matt, indicating Caduceus: "So, he's about as tall as you are eye to eye. And just- This guy's been doing a forge for a long time. The immediate comparison of half-orc him to half-orc Fjord is- it's a Laurel and Hardy sketch."

Fjord looks even more uncomfortable.

Taliesin: "His neck has a 6-pack kind of thing?"

Matt: "Yeah"

Travis mimics strongly puffing out his neck and looking mean.

As Caduceus talks, Fjord looks nervously between them. His posture is closed off and tense. When Wursh speaks, it's with the same Texas accent Fjord uses. Fjord raises his eyebrow in surprise, blinks a lot, and manages to look even more anxious.

As Caduceus and Wursh talks, Fjord starts to calm down a bit.

Caduceus suggests Jester would like to see Wursh's tattoos.

0:32:37 Wursh: "Well, she's certainly able to look, but not something you can really teach. These are important to my home town, so wouldn't recommend her giving them out."

"Home town" catches Fjord's ear.

Caduceus: "Oh no, I just think she would really enjoy seeing them."

Fjord tries to sound casual, but it comes off a bit forced and over-inquisitive.

0:32:53 Fjord: "Your, uh, your home town? Where you from?"

Wursh eyes him suspiciously.

Matt: "He kind of gives you a look over. Make a persuasion check."

Travis rolls a 23 and looks quite pleased.

0:33:10 Matt: "He looks you over, kind of grins, and goes,"

Wursh: "You're an inquisitive runt. I like it."

Fjord looks frustrated and put out. He shakes his head in a "yeah, okay, that hurt and was unnecessary" way.

He takes notes as Wursh says his from the Greying Wildlands in the village of Araftcra [sp?] out in the Rhyme Plains [sp?]. Fjord does show genuine interest. Wursh says the tattoos are of the nearby Dunrock Mountains. Caduceus says it's their first day in the city.

0:34:03 Fjord tries to get into the conversation, but Wursh talks over him and cuts him off, talking specifically to Caduceus. It shakes him a bit, and he backs off to regroup.

Wursh asks where they're from. Caduceus says all-over, then talks about where he's from. Wursh thinks Caduceus is a crazy motherfucker for living in the Savalierwood.

0:35:12 Fjord: "You're, uh, so vertically challenged. Everyone like you from the… Araftcra? The same stature?"

0:35:26 Wursh: "Generally, yeah. We're big."

Fjord looks put out.

0:35:29 Wursh: "You should see the full-blooded orcs up there. Plenty of them, and they're a little bigger. Well, one of the clans, anyway."

Fjord looks like he feels very small.

0:35:39 Fjord, obviously feeling insecure and trying to brush it off: "Yeah, not as, uh," he clears his throat," not as huge down in the Menagerie Coast. I'm from Port Damali."

Wursh, with dawning realization: "Oh! You went and grown up in some of that human territory."

Fjord looks like he realized he gave too much away.

0:35:50 Fjord, still trying to play it cool: "Yeah, not too many of us, uh-"

He's cut off by Wursh again.

0:35:53 Wursh: "Explains a lot."

Fjord's beginning to look defeated.

0:35:56 Fjord, resigned: "Yep, well, you do the best you can with what you got. Um…"

0:35:59 Wursh, looking slightly perplexed: "Don't be ashamed of that, son."

Fjord is mildly surprised.

Fjord: "No, I ain't ashamed."

Wursh: "Now look at you; you're mobile. Me, I hit things real hard, but I spend most of my day in here where it's bothering me with the heat. You being from the Menagerie coast, I imagine you've seen quite a bit, too, in your days."

Fjord slightly nods along but looks a bit haunted."

0:36:22 Fjord, trying to sound cocky: "Yeah, it doesn't… bother me so much."

Wursh, looking through him: "Good."

0:36:27 Caduceus: "Mr. Fjord has saved my life on a couple of occasions, actually."

Fjord looks assured by this and more confident.

0:36:33 Nott: "Yeah, it's true. He can carry a barrel with only- just a little bit of assistance from one of our ladies."

Fjord, very annoyed. "Okay! You know, disregard my little goblin friend over here. She's excited by big muscular types."

Nott: "I've seen it, sir. he can lift almost-"

Fjord: "Many barrels."

Nott: "Almost one.

Fjord: "Many barrels by himself."

Nott: "Almost one my himself."

Fjord: "Unaided."

Nott: "Almost one, yeah."

Wursh has stopped paying attention and is looking over the broken sword. He suggests the origin is Uthadernian [sp?].

0:37:28 Fjord: "Luthegernian?"

Wursh: "Uthadernian."

0:37:31 Fjord: "Luthedernian. Sorry, short ears."

Wursh explains it's where the Dwarves and Elves live together. Fjord concentrates on his notes. Wursh says be careful up there. His people are just surviving, but the orcs are bloodthirsty. Fjord listens tensely.

Caduceus asks about a jeweler. Wursh suggests Faton's gems. He isn't a gem wearing person and he's not a master craftsman, so he doesn't have a lot of need. Fjord's posture shifts to be broader and slightly more confrontational.

0:38:59 Fjord, trying to sound and gruff: "Yeah, jewelry wearing's for softer folk."

Fjord screws up his face and spits on the ground. He looks back at Wursh's toughly, but it's obviously an exaggerated act. Wursh laughs.

Caduceus thanks him for his time. Jester comes in because they're taking so long. Fjords watches the exchange uncertainly. She shows the medallion and boasts they're friends of the Dynasty and really cool. Fjord watched Wursh's reaction.

0:39:56 Wursh, not sure what to make of it: "Alrighty, well, I didn't realize I was in the presence of such… whatever the word is for your people."

Fjord, feigning arrogance: "Yeah, don't judge a book by its cover, friend."

Caduceus thanks him for his help and tips a gold piece. Yasha asks his name, and he gives it as Wursh the Tapper. Jester and Caduceus give their names.

0:40:58 Wursh to Fjord: "What's your name?"

0:40:59 Travis, gruffly: "I leave."

There's a long pause.

Wursh: "Alright."

0:41:06 Nott: "His name's Fjord."

Wursh: "Fjord."

0:41:09 Nott: "Yeah. Fjord Tough."

Wursh nods and mulls it over.

Matt: "And he kind of-"

Nott: "Have you heard of him or something?"

Matt: "No, he just-"

Taliesin: "I'm watching this."

0:41:23 Matt: "He walks towards the edge and kind of looks out the door and goes,"

0:41:27 Wursh, looking stern: "Hey, come here a second. Wanna talk to you."

Fjord hesitates and doesn't want to give ground. His answers are curt and standoffish.

Fjord: "What do you need?"

Wursh looks mildly disappointed in the response.

0:41:42 Wursh: "So you said you grew up in the Menagerie coast, right?"

Fjord: "Right."

0:41:46 Wursh: "Around hoity-toity human folk?"

Fjord slightly winces.

Fjord: "Yep."

0:41:52 Wursh: "And you walk around like you got something to prove?"

Fjord: "Is that what it looks like?"

0:41:56 Wursh, nodding, slightly sad: "From where I'm standing, yeah. 'Cause I'm'a tell you something: they don't matter. Yeah, we got a history. But some of us, we don't let that blood rule us, huh?"

Human blood?

0:42:19 Wursh: "I know you feel the anger there, every now and then, but… don't let them define you."

Orc blood? Do you not want to be defined by humans or orcs?

0:42:28 Fjord: "What blood you talking about?"

0:42:30 Wursh: "What? This blood."

Matt: "He kind of scratches the side of his shoulder and bleeds a bit from his finger nails. They're kind of grimy and you can see, like, the coal and dirt and stuff that's under them."

0:42:41 Wursh: "The blood that we came from. Don't be ashamed of that."

Fjord looks briefly confused. He pieces together Wursh means half-orc blood. Don't let orcs or humans define you.

0:42:48 Fjord: "They don't look unkindly on our kind where you come from?"

0:42:53 Wursh: "Don't get too many human folk up north."

Fjord nods.

0:42:58 Fjord: "Why'd you come here, anyway?"

Wursh: "Well, I had an apprenticeship up north, or was trying to go for it. But they, uh, it's a bit dangerous in the alps to get to the sanctum, so I headed south."

0:43:11 Fjord: "Dangerous for someone your size?"

Wursh: "When you're traveling solo, yeah."

Fjord looks down, thinking something over.

0:43:20 Fjord: "If you had the right folk heading up that way, would you consider heading up there again?"

Matt: "He looks around the shop."

Wursh: "Maybe. Making easy money here. Not too bad. Feeling a little… I don't know, stifled by all this night, but, you know, I'm learning, I'm training."

Fjord nods.

0:43:59 Wursh: "Look, I don't want to take too much of your time. I'm just saying… you walking everywhere with your pelvis forward like that and looking to start a fight with anybody that calls you on, well, that attitude, you're going to end up shivved."

Fjord contemplates that.

0:44:18 Fjord: "And I appreciate you looking out."

0:44:21 Wursh: "I'm just saying, don't let any of that bullshit affect you. Just be confident in who you are. Don't try and prove anything."

Fjord, nodding: "Try not to let the heat get to you in here. I'm sure we'll see each other again, Wursh."

Wursh: "Maybe, Fjord, maybe."

0:44:43 Travis: "I reach out my hand."

Matt: "He, like, goes, turns, stops, kind of goes like,"

Wursh makes an affirmative sound and grips Fjord's hand.

Travis: "His fingers wrap around."

Matt: "Yeah. It's like a-" he demonstrates a firm hand clench. "He heads out inside and kind of shoulders past you all."

0:44:58 Jester: "Woah."

0:44:59 Caduceus: "I don't know how he did that. that was amazing."

0:45:00 Jester: "That was- I mean, like, did you see how… many abs he had."

0:45:05 Caduceus: "I mean… I mean even his advice had abs. That was crazy."

Jester: "That was crazy."

Travis, laughing: "His advice?"

0:45:09 Caduceus: "He just… It just like, broke through layers of walls with that guy. I mean, he just never just… I mean… How did that happen?"

0:45:18 Fjord: "Cool tattoos, huh?"

Jester: "Really cool tattoos."

Caduceus: "Super cool tattoos. they were very good, I mean, very impressive.

Yasha: "Yeah, that was amazing."

Jester: "He's pretty cool."

Caduceus: "Yeah."

Fjord looks at them quizzically.

Yasha: "He seemed like a super nice guy."

Caduceus, nodding to Fjord: "He seemed really nice."

Fjord makes a face and scratches his nose to cover it.

0:45:30 Fjord: "What else do we need?"

They discuss what they need to buy.

0:45:51 Laura: "As we walk, I pat Fjord's shoulder, and I say,"

Jester: "Don't worry, Fjord, you have really good abs, too. I felt them."

Fjord, waving her off: "Jester, you don't have to make me feel better about my abs."

Jester: "And you're taller than me. You're really tall in comparison to me."

Fjord, scratching his head uncomfortably: "Yeah, I- Yep, I sure am.'

Jester: "Yeah."

0:46:07 Fjord: "That was just a very large gentleman in there."

Jester: "Yeah. He was pretty big. But sometimes that's not a good thing, you know? Sometimes being a normal size is good, too."

Fjord narrows his eyes and looks like he doesn't know where she's going and he's not sure he likes it.

Caduceus: "What a normal size?"

Fjord: "A normal size?"

Jester: "Yeah, like me. That's a good thing."

Fjord, sarcastically: "I have to be above average. Just so you're aware"

Jester, realizing she's digging herself in a hole: "And then somebody that's even bigger than normal like you are is really good, too, it's like a nice thing! Shit; help me, Yasha."

Yasha: "No, it's okay. You look great."

Travis: "I look up at Yasha."

Fjord looks slightly put-out.

Yasha: "Yes, you're so close to me in size."

Fjord: "Mmhm."

Yasha: "Wait, is some of your… family as big as him?"

0:46:44 Fjord, cluelessly shaking his head: "I don't know who my family is, so I don't think so."

Taliesin, with a skeptical smile: "Insight check."

Taliesin was waiting for something. He rolls a 22.

0:47:02 Travis: "I don't know who my family is."

Taliesin: "Cool. Alright."

Yasha: "You've never known your family?"

0:47:06 Fjord, shrugging: "No. I'm an orphan."

Caduceus: "Really? Huh."

Nott: "So that guy could have been your cousin or something. You don't know."

Caduceus: "I mean, I don't see a resemblance, but…"

Jester: "He did have an accent similar to yours."

Nott: "He did."

Fjord, tensely and annoyed: "Uh huh. Little bit of a, you know, difference." He makes a swap gesture.

Jester: "Just in height."

Nott: "Yeah."

Jester: "But, you know, you looked pretty similar in teeth." Immediate look of regret. "Nope, your teeth are not- I don't- You really didn't look alike. But you had similar accents!"

Fjord, pulling his shirt down and looking really uncomfortable: "Boy!"

Caduceus: "[Could] plant a tree in that hole."

Nott: "The accent was a good tell, yeah, it's true."

Fjord crosses his arms.

Yasha: "It's- who raised you then?"

0:47:46 Fjord: "Uh… The kids around me, I guess. Just kind of learned from being around other orphans."

Caduceus studies him and process that sadly.

Caduceus: "Wow."

0:47:54 Fjord: "Yeah, it wasn't a great place. Driftwood Asylum is very…" He waves off his hand.

Jester: "Asylum!?"

Nott: "Like an orphanage?"

Fjord: "Yeah."

Yasha: "Driftwood Asylum?"

Fjord: "Mmhm."

0:48:04 Nott: "And you didn't even have, you know, like, your muscles to protect you. So, you had to rely on wits and cleverness."

Yugioh S2 Ep 41: It’s Mai’s Turn to Get Electrocuted

Hey guys, welcome to the Christmas Break.

It’s TV watching season, so lets watch some TV and over-analyze a 20 yo kid’s show, you in?

Odion, after suffering from a lightning strike and getting impaled by many pieces of that fake millennium rod he was holding gets dropped off in the only room on this blimp that has sheets. He also had the added shock of witnessing his brother morph into a somewhat evil-er dude with saiyan hair, which I dunno, I’d want to take a nap too, that’s a lot to deal with.

(And thanks to some reader input, turns out this Marik isn’t so much a ghost situation so much. I mean, I guess it’s more of a Season Zero --this is your deep down scary personality taking over-- type thing but it’s not like I really finished Season Zero so...We’re just rolling with it.)

Glad we have an actual hospital wing--confused as to why Bakura isn’t here.

But I guess lightning strike is slightly worse than having a bleeding stab wound for 12 hours. I mean I’m no doctor, maybe it is? Anyway, Odion is hooked up to all sorts of computers and life support although there aren’t any cords attached to him anywhere on his body. Not even one piss-yellow IV bag.

Check out the size of that IBM. This is what a widescreen used to look like.

The rest of the Yuge Crew are here although I’m pretty sure that’s not how hospitals work. Pretty sure you have to be related to drop on in directly after being put in intensive care but like, they are on a blimp so I guess it’s different up there. But also, this guy has abducted them once already and just tried to kill Joey for the second time, and now they are like “We’re basically on BFF family terms with this Odion guy, lets visit that bedside.”

Although, mind you, his real family is Marik and Ishizu, both of which have never said aloud that Odion is their brother. This family is sort of bad at life, TBH.

Since we’re barrelling right into a Mai arc we have to confront one of her 2 big Mai character conflicts--which is either “this is why I don’t get married” or “OMG I am going to die forever alone.” Which is interesting, because last time we hung out with her, we did whatever we could to keep her independent, while in this episode Mai mourns that being independent is the ultimate curse. Girl wants whatever she doesn’t have, pretty much.

Ah, Miss independent, never thought I’d get that song stuck in my head again. Thanks, Mai. Except in this version, instead of falling in love, Mai just makes weird friendships with jail bait teenagers. Why can’t she make friends with like, Roland? He’s her age. Or maybe this nice doctor? But whatever, age is meaningless on this show.

(read more under the cut)

Anyway, Joey has decided to tell us all about that dream he had but leaves out the parts where he dropped everything he owns, and then knocked himself over a desk onto his face, and then in the same dream Kaiba kinda walked in from off screen, dunked on him, and then walked directly off screen again.

Mai is deeply touched.

And then, because she is Mai, gets extremely offended immediately afterward.

I can keep hoping it’ll be Duke Devlin but like...as much as I want him to do more on this show, I really think the only people who remember Duke Devlin at this point are all the animators who were like “HOW many people are in this shot?! Why did we make a season where every scene is a freakin crowd scene!?”

*I know the shading on her ass was supposed to be attractive but it looks like nasty sweat stains*

(Also what the hell computer-machinery is supposed to be behind them in this scene?)

This one time where Joey doth protest too much is the first time we have ever, ever on this show seen Joey act less than vague towards Mai. During the dream episode he blushed, but I thought that was because of Serenity being there for her brother in his dream. I didn’t at all think that was over Mai at the time.

But I guess this is happening now? I mean people kept saying “yes, Joey and Mai will be a thing” and I was like “they better start building up to that because like...nothing is happening.” but this show’s version of building up to that was by just not being vague one single time.

Which in this show is a big deal, I guess. Because shortly after this event, Tea remembers that her character description sheet says “Is bossy AF” with red underline and was like “OMG I totally forgot and it’s been like 20 episodes since I did anything, I gotta hurry” and she just lost her lid.

I’m regretting more and more that joke I made that TeaxKaiba was way more reasonable than TeaxYugi, because sometimes when Tea goes ham she may as well be wearing a long spiky coat with boots leggings. Tea had two very different personalities way before she ever got possessed by Bakura. Like, Tea is kind of a monster actually, but we rarely get to see it because she gets completely distracted and cries a lot when it just feels like...the other half of her, the half that bit a guy once--like she legit bit a guy on this show--that side of Tea would just never cry over cards. Or cry, period. She sure wasn’t crying when she bit that guy!

This is mostly because I think the writers didn’t know how to write a girl like Tea since she’s a mix of a Season Zero Tea and this more old fashioned-’feminine’ version I think they were trying to turn her into for this series. It’s weird. It’s weird that this group of friends have nothing to say about these very abrupt changes in her behavior. Then again, it took them a while to notice the abrupt changes in Yugi.

Anyway, Joey isn’t done getting harassed by everyone he knows yet.

We have Marik trapped in a blimp in the sky and the entire Kaiba security force, why are we dueling him anymore? I mean I know why, we are contractually obligated to show lots of card content in this show to sell cards, but at this point I feel like maybe they should drive the blimp over international waters and resort to maritime law. Give Kaiba a gun.

Actually don’t do that, it would be bad. Don’t give Kaiba a gun. Give it to Duke or something, he seems stable enough. He seems like he’d be able to shoot somebody but not everybody, if you know what I mean.

And because it’s the Mai arc, we gotta have Mai duel next. There’s only 3 people left to go against: Ishizu, Kaiba, and Marik. I think. There’s so many people on this show. Tea isn’t playing, right? I mean I really do feel like like I’ve forgotten someone--maybe Shadi? Miho? So many people are on this blimp.

Whatever, I’ll just roll with it, if I forgot someone I’m sure they’ll show up at some point.

Mai sure is that girlfriend.

Anyway, lets see what Marik’s up to. Ah, he really is visiting his older brother after all.

That’s right--Marik has to play twice. I mean obvi the first Marik was Odion, but still, it just feels like it’s Marik playing twice.

Also can we please talk about Marik’s cargo pants obsession for a little bit? This arch villain is in CARGO PANTS. Like, they have puffy pockets. He figured out that the hoodie was a bad look, but then he was like “I’ll just cover my tum-tum, and then put on my khaki cargo pants with a sensible belt.”

It just sort of insinuates that Marik only owns cultist robes and cargo pants. Just those two things. Imagine if every pant in your closet was cargo pants. Just imagine with me. You’d go mad, too. Imagine you packed for a trip, a nice vacay on a blimp, and then you opened your luggage and you were like “oops! all cargo pants!” you’d fly home.

Marik looks like he’s going to Casual Khaki’s Friday at the office from about the stomach down, and then stomach up up he’s ready to join piccolo and fuse brains or whatever the hell goes on in Dragonball Z.

And Yugi and his friends are late to Mai’s duel because they are teenagers and also of course they would. This whole season was introduced with Yugi being chronically late to stuff.

The bathroom joke in this episode is canon, PS. I skipped a Season Zero episode where Tristan went to the loo and so Yugi held his spot in line and it took like 30 minutes before Tristan finally got back. Tristan’s epic poops have apparently been Yugioh canon since the very beginning.

I’m learning so much about the lore.

Now that Marik no longer has to hide who he is, he has decided that he’ll just use the Shadow Realm willy-nilly now. Although Marik did this without playing any cards at all, it doesn’t seem to register to Seto Kaiba that this is not a hologram. Maybe Kaiba sneezed when Marik summoned it and just assumed he missed a card play or something.

So now, for our gimmick!

Every time we fight in the Shadow Realm it feels like the rules are a little bit different, and Marik decided to make this duel a memory fight.

The Shadow Realm seems to eat on your greatest insecurities, and for Mai it’s feeling all alone. Not sure how that works once the duel is over--her friends will still be there, so like...she can just get a heads up on the one day they went camping that one time and then boom, friendship rekindled, I think. But for now, this is very scary for everyone involved.

But I mean at least she isn’t a playing card, or being thrown into a graveyard by being played as a card, or being devoured by gloopy blobs, or rapidly dying because of the exposure to the shadow zone. As far as Shadow Realms go this one seems kind of tame.

But I guess we shall see if somehow losing Tea will effect her story in any way.

Depends on which Tea, in my opinion, but if we’re going for the normal boring one that only cries wellllllll I wouldn’t notice if she were gone, just saying. Now, if it’s the fun Tea that bites people and yanks their ears off their face, well being forced to lose my memories of her is what the writers do to me basically every episode of this show. Let Tea bite more people in the arm. Let that girl rage.

But all that will be for another recap where we can all watch Mai get Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-ed as if a memory wipe hasn’t happened at least once to every single person on this show with the exception of Mokuba. And Mokuba was a paper card for like I want to say about 10 episodes, so...

Anyways, if you just got here I do have these in chrono order from s1 ep1, here is a link.

But it’s killing me to love you

Hi, this is my first fic! Hope you enjoy <3 [AO3 Link]

THE WAY YOU SAID, “I LOVE YOU.“ - As a hello.

A little Vax'ildan/Shaun Gilmore fic. Inspired by EP 41.

Vax’ildan/Gilmore

Shaun Gilmore is dying, he knows it by the smell of smoke and charred flesh smothering him. This wasn’t how he imagined it. He feels feverish, beads of sweat trailing down his torn body. This wasn’t the comforting heat of home back in Marquet. His mother’s and father’s cooking. His magic thrumming in the palm of his hand. No, this was suffocating.

He can feel him, he ponders foggily, those hands of his anxiously stroking his neck. He can hear him too, those sweet whispered words reaching his ears. How fitting this is what his brain would conjure. His last moments in the comforting embrace of the man he loves.

Inky black tresses cascading over pointed ears, illuminating his pale complexion. He was the night sky, Shaun thinks hazily. Sweet Vax’ildan, his moon, and stars. A new warmth suddenly fills his chest, calm and freeing. He’s floating instead of drowning. The blood that was once thumping in his head, accompanied with pain and fire and death, is different now. He considers it for a moment. It’s now a comfortable thrumming, filled with softness and love and Vax’ildan.

“Hey. Hey,” Vax murmurs, his hands hesitantly caressing Shaun’s hair. I love you Shaun hears.

The beat of silence that follows seems painfully long before a tired groan escapes Shaun’s blood-soaked lips. Shaun lets his head loll back, subtly seeking the comforting gestures Vax’ildan is offering. Shaun was not a selfish man, but he wasn’t going to turn down such comforts. Real or not. He can’t help the instinctual grin that spreads across his face at the familiar sight of Vax’s. He resists the urge to return the favour and run his fingers through Vax’ildan’s own. It wasn’t his right. You weren’t supposed to reach for these types of stars.

He clings to his arm instead, fingers trembling as he tilts his head up further. Vax’s furrowed brow and weary expression transform into an achingly painful smile. Shaun stares longingly, entranced by his grey eyes. They were the ashes after the fire. After the pain, there was Vax, soft and looking back at him. He blinks back the tears that threaten to overflow.

“Well,” Shaun pauses savouring Vax’s gentleness, “It's always what I assumed I'd see in my last moments,” he finishes with a hoarse chuckle. This was enough for him.

“Bad day, huh?” Vax chokes out, grin curling up the corner of his face.

“Ah, strangely enough, I'm pretty sure I've had worse,” Shaun replies absently.

“No offense, darling, but you look like shit.” A feminine voice rings out.

Reluctantly, Shaun turns his gaze away from Vax’ildan, instead meeting his sisters’ face. It’s then he notices that they’re all here, all Vox Machina crowded around him. A choked off laugh sounds from his lips as he attempts to gather himself. Please don’t let them be dead too, Shaun thinks.

“We can't have that, can we?” He gestures his hand stiffly, arcane whirling and sputtering in his palm. The pain that wracks his body is immediate and Shaun flinches, another violent cough escaping with it.

“Gilmore no,” Vex’ahlia pleads. He can’t take it; he has to look away from their worried expressions.

“Give it time,” Vax begs, pulling Shaun closer in his arms. He can’t help but melt into the soothing embrace. Eyes never leaving Vax’s, he allows himself to linger a while longer in this fantasy.

“You need to rest.” Keyleth chimes in anxiously. He breathes in deeply for a while, enjoying the moment of peace.

“So…either we're all dead or we're all alive,” Shaun falters, “I'd like an answer.” He jokes with a high-pitched, hollow laugh that sounds wrong in his mouth. His heart flutters in his chest as he tensely looks at the group.

“Alive,” Vex grinned.

Here in Vax’s arms, he decided. This was enough for now.

3: DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?

no, it’s really awful and messy and nobody can really read it but me and i have weird writing habits that shouldn’t exist like crossing my cursive capital V’s, only the V’s, not the W’s and that small line is literally the only thing that makes my cursive capital V’s different from my print V’s; i also cross my T’s and H’s from right to left instead of left to right even though i’m right handed??, my cursive M’s, N’s and U’s look the same and good luck to me and everyone reading my handwriting when i write down words like “communication” also my lowercase k’s and h’s look almost exactly the same, the only thing that’s different is the distance between certain lines and since from grade 1 you’re taught to write in cursive instead of print in my country i try to write hangul in cursive as well because i can’t really get away from writing in cursive which results in my hangul being horrible, too (i try to write prettily during tests and when i know the prof/teacher is going to read it and i’ve got praised for it before, but when i do homework or something i write just as messily) MY HANDWRITING IS THE WORST but i don’t really care much because i go for speed instead of appearance when writing

A Jikook Guide to RunBTS: 30-39

One general trend to point out that’s true pretty much all series long, but was particularly noticeable to me starting around these episodes - JK and JM end up next to each other an unusually high percentage of the time when the guys choose where they're standing / sitting. Like, I initially thought I was only noticing it because I was primed to notice KM stuff, so I started tracking some other random pairs for comparison, and there’s no contest.

Also, this is when the show started really hitting its groove. I’d seen nearly all the Run episodes before going back and rewatching for this guide. There were some I rewatched at 1.5x speed and others I happily rewatched normally. There are many more of the later starting around here.

As usual, let me know if I’ve missed anything or should take another look at something!

Ep 30 "The Variety Show of Memories Part 1"

(Ep: 4 / KM: 1)

The ones with dancing, games, sleepy Kookie, and the tomato song that will embed itself in your brain

20:00 - JK picks Jimin for the quiz challenge without using honorifics. Jimin calls him out for it and JK jokes back, then actually apologizes.

BEHIND 5:47 - JK is the only one to clap when Jimin does a funny dance

Ep 31 "The Variety Show of Memories Part 2" (Ep: 5 / KM: 0)

None. But seriously, guys, this episode is a must-watch regardless.

Ep 32 "Take Care of Santa" (Ep: 3 / KM: 1)

The one where everyone runs around like crazy in Santa hats with pig balloons as J-Hope not-so-secretly tries to steal them

9:08 - Jimin spots JK hiding in a tunnel and crawls in to talk to him despite suspecting that he's the thief

27:50 - Jimin asks JK for the balloon he opened up to make his voice high with helium gas. JK gives it to him and they both say goodbyes in high-pitched voices at 28:14

Ep 33 "BTS and Manito Part 1" (Ep: 5 / KM: 3)

The ones where the guys jump for pictures, cheat at puzzles, and give each other gifts

1:59 - Jimin laughs a little when he sees that he's chosen JK as his Manito 3:56 - Jimin asks "Jungkook, why are you so cute?" and for some reason the on-screen text emphasizes this by popping up under Jimin's face saying "Jimin finding Jungkook very cute" 10:01 - Jimin comments on how high JK jumped and the on-screen text continues to call him out by tagging him as "amazed by Jungkook's jumping skills" 11:06 - Jimin singles out JK for praise for another good photo (on-screen text: "so hilarious") 12:00 - Jimin tells JK that he wants to give him a point for his acting, but his shoulders didn't make it into the shot 14:10 - Jimin AGAIN compliments JK (maybe he felt bad because he judged him as not properly in the picture the prev round) and the on-screen text wants to make sure we know Jimin is "amazed" I really can't tell if whoever writes this stuff is onto Jimin or is just also in love with JK, but I find the constant commentary hilarious either way 16:06 - Jimin gets JK to try to coordinate photo-bombing RM's pic BEHIND 5:05 - When JK is taking pictures of the posed photos he finds funny, takes two of Jimin (and you can see he's zoomed in on Jimin's face in both) while laughing adorably

Ep 34 "BTS and Manito Part 2" (Ep: 5, KM: 3)

8:46 - JM & JK decide to work together as a team to solve the puzzle

11:54 and 14:46 - JK and JM playfully grab and shove each other a bit to get to the mic first

15:41 - After Jimin and JK get bingo at the same time, they high five and Jimin comments "there's something about us"

15:55 - Jimin has moved his chair so he's sitting super close to JK and has seems to have his hand on his back for an extended period of time

23:27 - When they say Jimin failed his manito mission to make finger hearts with JK, they do it together and pose cutely here. Then, JK reminds JM that he actually did it successfully when the main cameras weren't on them by talking with JK about how different people make finger hearts. Jimin shakes JK's hand in thanks for the validation.

24:17 - It's quick, but you can see Jimin tapping JK to make a comment to him while the focus is on Jin.

25:53 - Jimin makes a comment about being a calico cat after JK has opened Jimin's manito gift and seen that it's a cat lamp. I mention it because I've seen some people connect that to "Serendipity" being a jikook thing, which I buy generally but, in this particular instance, Jimin had no way of knowing which member his present would end up going to. BEHIND 2:38 - JK does a joking imitation of acting out a food and Jimin playfully slaps him on the arm 3:41 - The same thing happens again when JK makes another funny face

Ep 35 "Kimchi Battle" (Ep: 3, KM: 3)

The one where, as you’d expect from the title, BTS makes kimchi

1:12 - JK taps Jimin on the chest when they say he can call his mom for help 1:23 - JM has his arm around JK's shoulders for a while and then moves his hand down to his lower back at 1:38 11:24 - JM has JK smell something gross and is impressed when JK has no reaction 16:38 - JK goes over to taste and compliment JM's kimchi and gets scolded by Suga for having his back to the camera 18:03 - JM watches closely as JK mixes the kimchi and the others compliment his arms 18:21 - Jimin continues staring at said arms 19:21 - Still staring 20:19 - More staring as the others all compliment JK's arms again 21:16 - Guess who's still watching JK? This time JM looks particularly impressed when JK lifts a heavy container 21:38 - Even the on-screen text has noticed the staring at this point and captions this "looking sweetly at Jungkook" 23:23 - Jimin tells JK the kimchi won't taste good yet because it's too fresh and looks at him affectionately, then compliments how good it looks. 24:38 - JM compliment's JK's kimchi again. He really seems much more invested in JK's work than his own this ep BEHIND 0:44 - JK claps for the slate and JM hits himself over his heart right after, making JK (and no one else) laugh 5:52 - Jimin wipes the sweat off JK's neck as he works on mixing the kimchi. When Jin does the same for JK's forehead right after, Jimin says that they look like two brothers and it looks like Jin's hating what he's doing.

Ep 36 "Kimchi Wars" (Ep: 3, KM: 1)

The one where the above kimchi is used in a cooking competition

None. JM and JK cooking together on the same team is cute, but everyone is cooking together, so there’s nothing uniquely jikook in the episode itself. BEHIND 5:10 - JK starts clapping a beat and JM joins in with his tongs and dances 6:35 - As JK films some of the food, someone (not quite sure who) comments that they've never seen any of JK's work except for when he went on vacation with Jimin

Ep 37 "BTS Marble Returns" (Ep: 1?, KM: 1)

The one in this set that I have absolutely no memory of

5:41 - When JK loses and rolls around in annoyance, Jimin comments twice how cute he is

Ep 38 "Spin BTS" (Ep: 3 / KM: 3)

The one where they play a bunch of strange games while Suga is dressed as Chimmy

2:33 - JK smiles at and compliments JM's penalty suggestion

4:47 - Before starting this game, JM said that he wasn’t good at games requiring strength. Here, JK points out twice that Jimin isn't being moved by the ropes

5:42 - JK compliments Jimin at the game again, saying he's like a bull

7:05 - Despite being on Jin's team, JM goes over to watch JK complete his puzzle

10:02 - After JHope identifies a sound as Jimin sneezing, JK says he was going to say that too and grabs Jimin's arm to ask him if he knew

11:33 - One second clip of an interaction that starts with JM putting his hand near JK's face, but it's cut off

21:30 - When other members are practicing imitating people, JK tells them to do Jimin next

BEHIND 5:50 - When asked to guess why Jimin made an upset noise, both Jimin and Jin guess (wrongly) that it had something to do with JK

Ep 39 "BTS Golden Bell Part 1" (Ep: 3, KM: 3)

The one in which JK learns that he far prefers being a competitor than an MC

1:14 - After JK announces that he's offering up his computer as the prize, Jimin turns around and gives him a quick side hug

1:29 - After they decide JK will be the MC and it's clear JK is nervous about it, Jimin starts fixing something on JK’s uniform and pats him on the shoulder while advising him how to deliver some of the words. He also seems to remind him to ring the bell at 2:24

2:52 - JK and JM stand super close when he asks him questions, to the point where the on-screen text asks "Must you stand so close?" at 3:05

3:50 - This may be reading too much into things, but Jimin's body language and the way he's not smiling like the rest of them made me wonder if he was annoyed about them taking the MC role away from JK...

7:55 - While celebrating his team's win, JK dances over to Jimin, who smiles and gives him a high-five even though the other members of Jimin's team are unhappy about losing

16:36 - When JK accidentally calls out his own name instead of someone to challenge, Jimin walks over and hugs him while laughing

BEHIND 0:56 - JK and JM joke around together 5:40 - Slightly different angle of the 16:36 moment above

Rugby: Heartland Championship's third round sees several tryscoring thrillers

New Post has been published on https://diary.nz/rugby-heartland-championships-third-round-sees-several-tryscoring-thrillers/

Rugby: Heartland Championship's third round sees several tryscoring thrillers

West Coast and North Otago continued their unbeaten runs on top of the Mitre 10 Heartland Championship table, but not without clawing their way back from big deficits after the third round was marked by a number of 80 minute thrillers on Saturday.

After last week’s round was split across Friday evening and Saturday afternoon games, most fixtures were back in their regular 2.30pm timeslots, and for Greymouth fans who chose to go to John Sturgeon Park instead of staying home to watch the All Blacks vs Tonga, they got their money’s worth.

Trailing 31-14 at halftime, West Coast engineered a stunning comeback to beat Mid Canterbury 43-41 in a 13-try shootout.

The home side had their first converted try inside of five minutes, but Mid Canterbury dotted down three times to take a 19-7 lead out of the first quarter.

West Coast closed the gap to five points with another seven-pointer, but Mid Canterbury went over two more times before the break, their first-five Corey McKay having converted three of their five tries, to raise a 17-point buffer.

Returning from NZ Heartland XV duties, Mid Canterbury flanker Seta Koroitamana would score a double in the match, as did winger Manasa Bari, who like fullback Matt McAtamney posted tries for the second week in a row.

The visitors would get their sixth try in the second stanza, with McKay converting it plus popping over a penalty, but they were now desperately trying to hold back a red and white tide, as the West Coast came charging home.

The hosts dominated the third quarter with three tries, one converted, to tie the scores up 31-31, and although Mid Canterbury traded tries with West Coast to move back ahead 41-36, the Coasters were good for one more seven pointer.

Sweating on the conversions, the home side used three different kickers as fullback Todd Struthers, centre Sean McClure and first-five Jesse Pitman-Joass all added crucial extras.

Lock Sam Liebezeit scored two tries, having also dotted down last week, while West Coast welcomed home their NZ Heartland reps in captain Troy Tauwhare and second-five Sione Holani to grab five pointers.

Taking maximum points from a match which at one point they looked like getting nothing, West Coast kept the top spot from likewise unbeaten North Otago, who performed their own miraculous comeback for an important North Island tour win, beating Poverty Bay 34-30 in Gisborne.

The home side would lead by ten points at halftime, as they opened the scoring through a penalty from fullback Andrew Tauatevalu, about to have another high-scoring day, as he also got their opening converted try for 10-0.

North Otago closed the gap with first-five Mike Williams dotting down and his proficient goal-kicking halfback Robbie Smith adding the extras, before the teams traded seven pointers through Poverty Bay winger Scott McKinley and visiting No 8 Charles Elton.

In what could have been the decisive moment, Poverty Bay got an automatic seven-point penalty try on halftime when North Otago deliberately knocked the ball down in front of the line.

Not discouraged, North Otago began the second half with a Smith penalty, before Tauatevalu responded in kind for 27-17.

North Otago then kicked it up a gear as centre Clement Gasca scored, with Smith coolly adding the extras and then another penalty to lock up the scores 27-27 with 15 minutes left.

Poverty Bay moved ahead again with Tauatevalu’s third penalty, but North Otago kept coming and who else could be the hero but their local legend Ralph Darling – as the centenarian-capped player and former skipper came off the bench to score the match-winning try in the 76th minute.

Underneath the unbeaten sides, there was considerable movement on the points table, as the teams who picked up their second win from three games made rapid advancement.

After being disappointing last week against King Country in Taupo, Buller welcomed back lock Jeff Lepa and their talisman first-five James Lash from NZ Heartland XV duties, and it was Lash brought the magic again with a penalty 8m in from touch to get his side up 22-21 over a gutted Wanganui at Victoria Square.

Perennial Meads Cup contenders, Wanganui have now dropped their three opening games for the first time in 14 seasons of the Heartland competition.

The visitors started well enough to lead 14-0 as winger Vereniki Tikoisolomone scored two tries, the first coming off a three vs one overlap and then winning the race to the ball after a kick ahead into the same corner.

First-five Craig Clare, back from being the NZ Heartland XV fullback, converted both tries from near touch, and Clare’s absence would be keenly felt after he could not play the second half following an injury to his pectoral muscle.

After a mistake-riddled first half, Buller gave themselves some hope while Wanganui conceded points right on halftime for the third straight game, as home town winger Alex Paterson scored down the short side after buildup from Lash and centenarian-capped halfback Andrew Stephens.

Buller closed up to 14-12 after the break as they put the ball through the hands for the other winger Petaia Saukuru to score, with Lash converting from touch, before Wanganui took advantage of a scrum ball popping out for halfback Lindsay Horrocks to feed his prop Raymond Salu, who dashed 30m under the posts.

Down 21-12 with 15 minutes left and trapped in their own half, Buller needed something and Lash provided it with a quick tap and dash through the defenders to run deep into Wanganui’s 22m, with the ball then spread back towards the middle for second-five Iliesa Ravudra to cross on the other side the posts.

From the kickoff, Wanganui foolishly tried to spread the ball and run out of their own 22m, but got trapped in the ruck near the sideline and Lash raised the flags with his pressure three pointer.

Wanganui had a penalty opportunity of their own on a similar angle approaching injury time, but reserve first-five Dane Whale could not connect.

James Lash was the hero again for Buller in their one-point win over Wanganui in Westport.

Their second home win was not quite enough to move Buller into the top four, as Thames Valley continued to shake off their shock start from the Poverty Bay loss to pick up a comfortable 43-15 win over a brave East Coast in the early 12.50pm kickoff match in Paeroa.

In the battle between the defending Meads Cup champions and winless wooden-spooners, Thames Valley made a swift start to lead 17-0 after the first quarter, but the visitors hung tough to get their three unconverted tries on either side of halftime to close the gap to 24-15 after 42 minutes.

However, Thames Valley, playing without NZ Heartland XV captain Brett Ranga, stayed composed to run in three more tries, converting two, while keeping East Coast from their second bonus point in as many games.

Bay of Plenty import second-five Danny Kayes picked up a double, as did returning NZ Heartland XV winger Harry Lafituanai, while flanker Laulea Mau, promoted into the starting XV, scored for the second game in a row.

After his Heartland record-equalling seven penalties against Wanganui, this time first-five Regan Crosland just had to kick three conversions.

The visitors five-pointers came from second-five Tawhao Stewart, flanker and captain Hone Haerewa, and winger Epeli Lotawa to follow up last weekend’s fine try.

South Canterbury have also shaken off their stumbling start, while Horowhenua-Kapiti will need to go away and have a rethink, as the Lochore Cup champions were smashed 57-7 in Timaru.

The visitors welcomed back all four of their NZ Heartland XV reps into the starting lineup, but they fell apart in the third quarter as South Canterbury raced away for 38 points in 20 minutes, with Horowhenua-Kapiti having a man in the sinbin at that time.

South Canterbury had led 12-0 at the break through tries by fullback Zac Saunders, for the second week, and flanker Cam Russell, with Theo Davidson adding a conversion before he would make way for returning NZ Heartland XV halfback Willie Wright, coming on at halftime.

Wright would kick with 100 per cent accuracy for six conversions, plus a penalty, as his side went roaring into the head wind in the second stanza.

Tries came from the other Heartland XV returnee in Kalavini Leatigaga, winger Clarence Moli to follow up last week’s double, along with Joel Smith and Solomone Iavaka.

A seven-point penalty try added to Horowhenua-Kapiti woes.

Both team’s ran on their benches for the final quarter, where the visitors finally got a reply converted try from centre Junior Laioifi off a kick and chase, although the home side had the last word when prop Tokomaata Fakatava dotted down.

And after playing in a prime time televised match under the big lights of Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium last week, Wairarapa Bush were back home in Masterton and pulled out a 37-31 win over King Country in another high try-scoring thriller.

On their fast-running artificial turf, Wairarapa Bush score 15 unanswered points to start and would then take a 25-14 lead into halftime, before King Country came charging back with two more tries to lead 26-25 with quarter of an hour remaining.

It would be an eventful 15 minutes, as the home side scored to regain the advantage, and then seemed to have sealed the match with a converted try for 37-26 in the 72nd minute. However, King Country went hunting from the kickoff and gave themselves a chance with their fifth try to close back to within six points with four minutes left.

The home squad held out, despite the squad missing a few injured players, with skilful winger Tristan Flutey getting a double to make it three tries in two home games, while Brendon Campbell came off the bench to also get a brace.

King Country’s tries were shared around the park through No 8 Chulainn Mabbett-Sowerby, lock Josh Balme, second-five Brad Armstrong, winger Tayne Tupaea and reserve Alex Thrupp.

Tristan Flutey runs in one of his two tries in Wairarapa Bush’s narrow win over King Country in Masterton.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfUKpLGgts4 <- "If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky. You can hide underneath me and come out at night. When I turn jet black and you show off your light I live to let you shine " one of my very favourites ever. I feel like it did sum up my feeling many times

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klHpznbGeYc <- "Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate " Love that one..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlAiq0_BXac <- "Hey, would it be so bad if I stayed? I'm just a ghost out of his grave. I won't put white into your hair... I won't make noises in your stairs. I will be kind and I'll be sweet if you stop staring straight through me " I can't explain how much this one means to me... I even have a comic planned because of it
