Apparently Frank Iero Is Not Okay.

For the ultimate test of My Chemical Romance's seemingly inescapable ubiquity, stay tuned to MySpace pages and message boards everywhere. When XØ- the debut from MCR guitarist Frank Iero's hardcore-punk side project LeATHERMOUTH- reaches the masses, you'll surely start seeing a gazillion comments from teenage girls raving, "OMG! Frank is sooooo hot! I love LeATHERMOUTH!" Were this record the product of just about anyone not involved with MCR, you could safely wager that most of said fans would run away from XØ as fast as humanly possible with their fingers wedged in their ears.

LeATHERMOUTH, who officially consist only of Iero on vocals and Rob Hughes on guitar, specialize in a particularly punishing form of hardcore that combines sludgy doom metal and harsh grindcore, topped off by Iero's ferocious screams and often twisted, eye-brow raising lyrics. Speed and fury are the name of the game here, and thus none of the album's 10 tracks break the three-minute mark (the disc's total running time is just over 21 minutes). While LeATHERMOUTH certainly aren't reinventing the wheel, songs with names like "I Am Going To Kill The President Of The United States Of America" and "Your Friends Are Full Of Shit" are far from dull. XØ's sheer brutality and shock value alone make the record the complete anti-My Chem experience, a perfect soundtrack for driving around with a corpse stashed in your trunk.

In-Store Session WIth Vocalist Frank Iero

LeATHERMOUTH are your forum to vent. What's got you so angry?

Just everyday life, and things that affect us that people want to pretend doesn't exist: feelings of isolation and depression, and the way the world is going. There are other things too: "Catch Me If You Can" is based on the letters written by Jack the Ripper. It's basically about cutting up girls, which is always fun. [Laughs] A lot of the songs seem to be about killing girls.

What's the story behind "5th Period Massacre"?

Kids are killing each other in school, and people are very quick to condemn the entertainment industry, or the parents or the kids themselves, who must be "off." I'm not saying those aren't some of the reasons, but no one talks about the little fucking prick who calls the kid a "faggot" or beats him up every day, so he sees no way out other than going home and getting his father's gun.

How about "Sunsets Are For Muggings"?

It's about going to see my psychiatrist. Every appointment I had was at night, around sunset. It's about taking all the pills to make yourself better, yet never feeling normal, and knowing that everything you're saying is going in one ear and out the other. I've definitely had to deal with mental illness in my family; that's a very personal thing that I deal with on a daily basis. "Sunsets" is my way of saying that no one is looking out for you but yourself, and you have to consider that no one fucking cares.

Will teenage girls who are into My Chem be horrified?

That's the funny part. "Catch Me If You Can" for example, has some pretty harsh lyrics about women. The last half of the song says, "A gift from God doing the Devil's crimes/I'll set shit right one whore at a time." Watching a good handful of little girls singing that line with you is a little weird, and really fucking funny. The things that make me laugh are things that are horrendously awful, [like] people falling down or getting attacked by animals. If I can have girls singing back about cutting themselves up or setting themselves on fire, that's pretty much a good show.

Some people will say, "My Chem is huge. What's this guy's problem?"

There are a million things I can say are great about my life, and a million things that really fucking suck. I can't explain why I have a problem with depression or anxiety; I don't know, and nobody can tell me why, either. I just do what I can to stay sane on a daily basis, and [LeATHERMOUTH] are one of those things that help me, getting it all out on a record, and playing shows. The first tour we did was really refreshing, exhausting and cathartic, and I wasn't pissed off anymore. Now that I've been home for a while, all that hate has built up again, and I think I need to do a couple more shows. [BM]

Indigo League Episode 12

This episode we get the last of the Kanto starters, Squirtle! The gang encounters the troublesome Squirtle Squad, Ash and Pikachu both have their life endangered in different ways, and Team Rocket attempted to kill the whole Squad with literal bombs. Yikes.

Say you regularly encounter pit falls like these three do and one of you puts your foot through the ground like Ash has here, would you (a. be careful of the likely pitfall, or (b. crowd in as close as possible?

If you answered (b. you were right and you're also stuck in a hole now.

The Squirtle Squad! Hmmm, I wonder who's the leader. (This is such a cute shot.)

If I recall correctly we actually will be going to their habitat later in the Indigo League so good job setting it up ahead of time show!

Officer Jenny of course Ash knows your name, you share it with every other officer Jenny. If he knows the name of one he knows them all.

This police station has a matching symbol to the one on Jenny's hat. I went back to the other station we've seen so far (in E2) and that one didn't match that Jenny's hat symbol, I wonder if it's something they decided to start doing partway into the show or if them matching this time is a coincidence. We'll just have to wait and see.

Pikachu looks so sad here! Ash, give him a hug. (Pikachu is very cute while sad though.)

I love it when anime does something like this where it's just the facial features visible. (Though just Pikachu's eyes and mouth by themselves are a little scary looking.)

Look at these sopping wet beasts. Someone get them a towel.

Silly Pikachu, this is Pokemon not Mario Cart, why are you getting taken out by a red shell?

And now we're doing Jaws, love to spot a reference for a movie I've never seen.

Love to see Ash being a violent feral child but I personally would not enjoy the mouth full of fur from biting a cat tail. And this is the most valid reason for Meowth to scratch Ash in the face so far.

Squirtle Squad how could you say no to a cute little face like this.

Squirtle Squad just casually threatening to kill Misty. Very normal thing to do.

The Pokeani world has so many rickety rotten rope bridges. I wonder how many people die to them per year.

A Pokemon shop! The western town vibe is interesting, though I am suspicious of that beef sign. We're still in the period of time where they still had regular animals in the Pokemon world.

Love Gary just showing up in this episode to knock Ash out, not even notice what he did, and leave.

Also, Ash was unconscious overnight, I'm pretty sure it's really bad if you're unconscious for that long. He should go to the hospital and get checked out.

Ah early Pokemon, where anyone and everyone can have a gun at any given moment.

Ash is so concerned about Squirtle! I love how much he loves just all Pokemon.

And his actions proved he's a good guy to Squirtle! I really feel the bond better with Ash and Squirtle than the one for Ash and Charmander in the previous episode. I wonder if that has anything to do with how difficult Ash and Charmander's bond gets after he evolves.

Get yeeted idiots! Also, I love how Misty, Brock, and the other Squirtles are acting like they're gonna catch Ash and Squirtle but that's totally not happening.

Look how happy they are to have Squirtle join the team!

And that's the episode, Ash has a full team now and all of the starters! Next episode on Wednesday we see Ash catch another pokemon, and we encounter the OG oversized pokemon. (Way before gigantamaxing.)

@5ummit encouraged me to make an end of the year post, so here we go:

Fandom: Andor (May/June, September/October) Fic Count: 2 Word Count: 2,139

Fandom: The Witcher (January) Fic Count: 6 Word Count: 28,917

Fandom: Top Gun: Maverick (July-September) Fic Count: 7 Word Count: 38,342

Fandom: Other Marvel (April/May) Fic Count: 7 Word Count: 11,043

Fandom: HydraTrashParty 🥳 (January-May, October-December) Fic Count: 52 Word Count: 150,286

Total Word Count: 228,061

Find me on AO3 here

and also, find my own personal fave fics of the year under the cut:

should go without saying that you should heed the AO3 tags if you click through on any of these:

Top Three: 1. Crawlin’ back to you / Baby we both know (HTP, winterbones)

Pt1: An old "friend" of Bucky's is one of Selby's guards. Zemo and Sam have no idea but Bucky absolutely does, what a shame that he has a role to play.

Pt2: Rumlow has been biding his time, working for Selby in exchange for information about the soldier's whereabouts - conveniently the winter soldier is about to show up on their doorstep with a new handler.

OR: an extended rehash of That One Scene in tfatws s01e03: Power Broker from two different perspectives.

2. We'll be a fine line. (TGM, roosmav)

Bradley really notices Maverick for the first time when he's thirteen. Every year after that is a struggle.

OR: 4.5 times Maverick had no idea what was happening and 1.5 times he said “wow, what a terrible idea but I guess we're doing this”

3. Something Broken (HTP, winterbones)

Bucky and Rumlow really fucked each other up over decades of brutal conditioning, maybe (definitely) more on one side than the other.

It turns out that Bucky can't get over the wiring in his brain that makes him really susceptible to following orders and dropping to his knees anytime his old handler shows up PLUS he hasn't had a chance to test it a ton, but he can't come unless he's told? Oh and he also went back for Rumlow's very specifically modified sidearm back during the collapse - I'm sure there's a totally normal and not weird reason for that.

And Rumlow? Well it turns out that having a building dropped on him and then almost being burnt alive by his own fucking bomb (which frustratingly did not kill Captain America) has rendered his dick pretty much out of service which could be a good thing - the bomb not killing Cap A - since Steve went and abandoned a traumatized Bucky Barnes and left him totally open to having his handler waltz back into his life.

Also the dick thing is probably fixable with the right encouragement.

+1. Take my head and kick it in. (Rumlow/Reader)

Because I reached a thirst-related breaking point and just really really needed a fic of Rumlow throwing me the reader down some stairs 😅

Should have written all my thank yous here and not in the tags so here we go, I'm gonna tag some people:

@5ummit @sparklingbinjuice @the-ravening @unlikelymilliner @pohjanneito @crushcandles , the entirety of the Trash Fam and many many more - thank you for all of your encouragement and love in this past year, I don't know what I did to deserve it but I'm glad to know you all❤️

#cara writes #about cara #2022 in review #also #cara gifs #damn htp i guess we know where i spent all my time #also thanks to the kink meme prompts this week #for letting me break 150k #ALSO #thanks to:#htp fam #fccu tag #winterbones cheer squad #for way too much encouragement aha #(and to all the TGM fandom tbh because you folks let me get away with writing so much badwrong smut in those last two months)

Supernatural Rewatch S1E6 Skin

Is the color balancing this bad for the whole series or is it just the site I'm watching it on? Everything's so washed out.

*wheezing* oh my god I forgot Sam being like "oh I'm an innocent college student just like you but Dean's totally a cop" to convince his friend Becky they could help. Like these two really just spout off the most insane stories about each other to strangers and the other one just rolls with it.

It hurts me watching Sam try so hard to maintain friendships outside of hunting and Dean be convinced he shouldn't. Because Dean couldn't.

The random leanings into animals being aware of the paranormal is kinda hilarious in this show with it being so inconsistent. Like right here, this one dog's aware of Shit Going Down with the murder. But this only comes up at random intervals.

"That's not like any camera flare I've ever seen" Sam says. Have you looked at much video, Sammy? It's. This is random eye shine.

Okay but fr what ARE they doing there at 5:30 in the morning? Also, can Sam stop bitch facing for two seconds and answer the question instead of dragging everything out?

What made them think the ambulance going by had anything to do with their case?? This is in a city. Ambulances go by all the time, unfortunately, for good reasons and bad.

Why do these two keep having conversations about their cases in broad daylight in public? It's a wonder they weren't caught more often than they were. Or were the cops just over there like "yk what we don't get paid to go after the crazies that we don't have a current crime connected to." Also why didn't they get in worlds of trouble opening a manhole cover, again in broad daylight on a busy city street right next to a crime scene?

Can Sam quit bitching and just acknowledge that Dean's right about the lying to his friends bit and how bad it can go?

Sam can't see shit apparently, and also can't aim.

Again, these two should be in worlds of trouble for fucking around with manholes in busy public areas.

Sam walking around trying real hard not to tip anybody off, meanwhile Dean just runs down the street with a gun in hand. How many times has he been arrested?

Ok props to Sam for calling the shapeshifter on his shit so quickly, but also be a little more decisive bro this is how we end up in shitty situations.

Jensen's acting is phenomenal. I also think it's interesting how the shapeshifter (from Dean's POV, speaking from Dean's memories) says "I know I'm a freak." The stress pattern there on just the first "I", as if it isn't that Sam's actually different - it's that Sam doesn't know, refuses to know, that he's also a freak. And it's that ignorance that lets him have that shot at a normal life, it's that ignorance that Dean's jealous of. Then we get into Dean's abandonment issues, straight into the deep end, the shapeshifter pretty much confirming that Dean's sluttiness is a substitute for the real connection he wants but isn't getting from anybody.

What the hell was the yell back there when she screamed, Jensen? It wasn't even like, a Menacing Roar noise, he just fuckin yelled the same way lmao, it's so funny

why is the makeup identical on every woman the shapeshifter's attacked this episode. I could swear every single one has had the bandage wrapped around the head, bruising on the cheeks, three lines of blood dripping down the right shoulder, hair caked in the same spot . . .

I remember the shapeshifting scene really hitting me in the creepy feelings the first time I watched this but this time I was just fascinated by how much Jensen's changed over the years. He packed on so much more muscle over the next four years alone.

They really just like tying these men up don't they? And Dean is so much more relaxed about it than Sam is, and there's so many fun headcanons you could pack into that. Is it angst? Was he just trained to it? Or does he just Like It?

"Did Jessica know?" "No, she didn't." Yeah, because you weren't. doing it then. Sam. "What can I do, it's my family" you're literally only back because you've got it out for Jessica's killer, it's still about you, mfer. Why do you try to pretend it's for Dean?

Do they ever go back to St. Louis? I could swear they do. Shouldn't it come up more that Dean's wanted for murder there? They had the one season where the FBI were hot on their tails but then the angels started getting involved and we suddenly got a whole lot less of the consequences of the boys' actions.

SEARCH FOR SPOCK breakdown

i watched THIS movie three days ago and im still not over it. incoherent phone liveblogs translated to normal human language below:

firstly, this movie is extraordinarily quiet. even with my computer and browser volume and 100% i still couldn't hear it. we had such trouble finding a copy that was both loud and subtitled i had to download my own - even actually starting a free paranmount plus trial didn't work because their website is GARBAGE and refused to load the movie for me on any browser. which meant losing one day. and then the second day i was out of town. i had to wait SO LONG to start searching for spock. i basically forgot the first 12 minutes of the film bc of those two lost days

uhura was very hot in this movie. i love how she had stuff to do. idk how she keeps getting hotter every movie but she's the most beautiful woman in the world i think. her telling that little ensign to get into the closet while calling him a good boy was maybe the sexiest thing she's ever done. i wish she had gotten to go with them the whole time!

the absolute screaming that ensued when kirk found bones sitting in a pitch black room with spock's voice coming out of his mouth. like i said i knew vaguely about this but i did not expect him to be FUCKING POSSESSED??? i need to find time to read 4000 spones fics about this specifically if anyone has recs i am soliciting them

everything was so good. the comment about poison in a bar not being logical. the failed nerve pinch. him being able to suddenly act as first officer. mwah

i like the snowy cacti on genesis even though most of those sections lagged for me personally. not like computer lag but like. psychologically. and baby spock was so cute!! teenage spock did not need to be fucking his former student who is now way older than him tho. that was wack. sorry saavik

the entire section of busting bones out of prison and stealing the enterprise is one of my favorite trek scenes from everything i've seen so far, actually. it's exciting, it's funny, it's heartwarming, the chemistry is off the charts, and they all truly feel like a family.......cathy said it best but this is what aos was missing tbh

ALSO I TOTALLY RECOGNIZED LEONARD NIMOY'S VOICE IN THE ELEVATOR SHAFT. am i faceblind maybe a little bit but my ear never fails me

very shocked to see christopher lloyd in this movie. his makeup was um questionable. but he did a great job

we went back and forth for awhile on whether or not bones realized he was possessed. i guess "you're suffering from a mind meld" wasn't specific enough. like did he know spock was IN THERE. but we didnt know for sure until jim was like "how are we doing" and bones was like "WE are doing just fine thank you but i'd rather he have just taken a kidney" which was fucking hilarious. third best best line after "i've got all his marbles" and "THAT GREEN BLOODED SON OF A BITCH THIS IS REVENGE FOR ALL THE ARGUMENTS HE LOST" he's so iconic. like it wasn't actually just revenge for the stunt he pulled in the empath.

deeply mourning the enterprise. i knew there were different enterprises and that they had to blow her up eventually bc spoilers but this is the one and only first ever enterprise TO ME. watching her go down in flames was almost as painful as watching spock die. rest in peace queen :(

absolutely FLOORED they fridged david. i didn't expect them to do that ever but i'm SO glad they did bc 1. cry bitch and 2. i didn't actually care about him. despite them finding spock on genesis those parts of the movie felt slowest to me because spock wasn't able to like, Be Spock and i just did not care about david. i like saavik but i liked her better when she wasn't fucking spock. so. perfect choice

final fight was good. i was like I DONT CARE ABOUT THIS SHOW ME SPOCK but then i gasped every time one of them almost bit it. rip christopher lloyd's character he did a great job

did i burst into tears when kirk held spock and pointed a gun at people? yeah

however what we missed was the bit where bones goes to hold him instead when kirk has to put him down. truly the mcspirk movie of all time.

bones going "i choose the danger" HE IS SO IMPORTANT i love him so much

having absolute kittens in the section where i had to wait to find out if they put spock's katra back. like obviously they were gonna. did i start crying again when spock started talking? YEAH. i knew he was gonna have amnesia but i forgot so i got to be surprised anyway. and then also cried through the credits too bc ofc i did. spock is so important. bones tapping his temple at the end was everything though

idk why everyone says the odd ones are all bad! 1 was bad and i know everybody hated 5 but 3 was REALLY GOOD. i liked it even better than wrath of khan - aside from, again, the pon farr thing. there was more interpersonal stuff than in 2 but it didn't lack action and momentum the way that 1 did. it was perfect. there's no way 4 can be better than this. no way. sincerely hoping i eat my words <3

#personal #sfs lb #star trek blogging #glad i got that down for again posterity.#in 5 years i'll remember none of this so i need a record

Oh, I so wanna hear what you think of the whole Jimin / Tkk thing at YG concert ( we are not free from Tony Montana, MY GOD).

I find it hilarious, as an ex-joker now PJM, I am glad to say I don’t feel anything anymore and seeing Jimin being carefree and just his independent self makes me so happy. Tkk could be very well hanging out everyday and as long as Jimin is unbothered I don’t really care. I am curious if some people feel similar as I do and totally lost their ability to see JK’s appeal?

Now, I wonder what switched? What happened to make Tkk so close? I am dying to know the tea, give me drama.

I feel so free, birds are singing and we, at least for now, have one less problem.

I've been giving my opinions here and there, maybe you've already seen some. I think it was all very normal, casual between the three. Jus classic Jungkook, classic Jimin and classic Taehyung.

Jungkook and Taehyung have been sort of concert buddies, starting from the Harry Styles one in November 2021 (the day that was also my start to stop thinking jikook are together lol), then silk sonic in Las Vegas which they also attended together, then Harry Styles this year again. Jungkook goes to a lot of shows (the ones I've mentioned and others) and he never goes with Jimin. And the only time Jimin was there in recent times was the Harry one where Jungkook spent the entire concert vibing with Taehyung. So taekook vibing together this time and Jimin just by the side was textbook vminkook from what I know.

I guess I'm surprised that people can't seem to find a middle ground. I personally believe Jimin is not hanging out with either of taekook a lot, and if he is it's because he works out with them (probably picked up boxing with Jungkook again), or because he sees them at the company. But when you say that Jimin is not really spending time with them, people completely jump to the other side and think that the next time they will all three show up with guns and point at each other. None of them could ever hate the other or intentionally hurt each other. So I still get really annoyed when I see those who think

being okay = they're fucking each other

as well as those who believe

not fucking each other = hating each other

I always think of this tweet 😂

And that's all I see. Friends. Friends in their late 20s, 30s who spent the last ten years pretty much obligated to see each other everyday and now are in different vibes and different life paths and probably putting all their energy and interest in doing things they weren't able to do before and meeting people they didn't meet often before. Like when you finish high school and college starts and you go from seeing your friends everyday at school, to seeing them only during the weekends or for special occasions. Or sometimes at work, in BTS case.

Well, personally my feelings about Jungkook started to change in 2020, so my detachment now is just a regular development of things. Sometimes I do feel sad and I feel like i miss Jungkook, but then he shows up and I don't feel anything. So I believe I don't really miss Jungkook or at least not this Jungkook right now (though ironically he's more humane and I guess softer than he's ever been). I've realized I miss something bigger, maybe the good things I used to feel about Jungkook, maybe I just miss the way things used to be.

I don't think there's any tea or drama about taekook, just them having more time for each other. That happens too, you get friends that you align better with depending on certain periods of life. I guess they just click better now.

The Takeover - Part Five

Nellie took another sip from her whiskey, pushed her brown curly hair behind her ears and leaned in closer to Helen. She felt honoured to be part of a small group that had been brought in by their boss to discuss the next set of plans.

"We've had some good raids on Martinelli's businesses recently" Helen was telling the group, "and of course the bank job cleared them out of a lot of their capital, so right now they're relying on loyalty and intelligence to keep their gang together".

Nellie looked at the other women - Annie, Lillian and Suzy. They were all wondering what Helen might have to disrupt the loyalty of the group. "They've got a good starting lineup of lieutenants" Helen continued, "but very little on the bench. If we can hit that group, we can cause them some serious issues, particularly if they don't have the cash to keep the muscle in check".

"Who's next then?" Suzy asked, "which one do you want to target?"

"One?" Helen said, and her face broke into a smile, "oh no, one person can be replaced. What I want is total disruption. We're going for eight....in a single night".

"Woah" Annie was normally stoic during the meetings but even she exclaimed at the prospect. "Boss that's ambitious".

"But it'll work" Helen assured her. "Think about it, we take out one person, the rest double their protection. We hit them all at once, they'll be lying in a pool of their own blood by the time they even know what happened. My contacts know where they'll be, we just need to take them".

There was silence for a few seconds. "Well" Suzy said, looking round at the group, "I guess we better start loading some drums with bullets". She laughed and the rest of the group did too.

"Exactly" said Helen, "we're going to do this, and we're going to do this tonight".

------

Nellie ran her gloved hand over the smooth barrel of the Thompson machine gun. She has been meticulous with oiling and cleaning it, disassembling every piece and diligently putting them back together again once cleaned. There was a good chance that the Martinelli lieutenants would have armed bodyguards and the last thing her and the other women needed were their guns jamming as they tried to mow them all down.

She was wearing a tight white shirt and a black tie under her pinstriped uniform and her hands were already in long leather gloves that went up to her elbows underneath the pinstriped jacket. Her pockets were already full with spare drums for the submachine gun, each one packed with 50 deadly bullets. She looked across at Suzy as they walked to the car together. Suzy had still opted to wear no shirt or blouse underneath her trouser suit, instead preferring to let a little of her decolletage show to the world. Nellie knew Suzy was more than a pretty face - she was a ruthless killer too. In their last outing together she had shot three security guards with a long stream of bullets as they stormed the Downtown Western Bank before mercilessly executing some customers with her.

Helen had divided the women into two teams, each with their own list of targets that Nellie now looked at as Suzy started the car for the two of them. They had four names to target and Nellie worked out the best order to take them out. "Let's head to the north of the city" she instructed. "It's dinnertime and I'm betting Luigi Martinelli will be having dinner".

"Let's make it his last one" Suzy said as they pulled away and drove. Luigi was a nephew of Rico Martinelli who had been rising fast and looked after some of the territory in the north of the city. According to the intelligence they had received, he ate every night at an Italian restaurant in a private back room with some of his men and those he was looking to peddle influence with. It would be as good a place to start as any for Nellie.

She adjusted her fedora on her head. It would cast a shadow over part of her face but she was not worried about being recognised. Helen had let them know that it was now OK to let people see them in uniform. She wanted fear to grow of the pinstriped women. Suzy pulled the car to a stop opposite the restaurant and picked her Tommy gun up, leaving the engine running. They would not be stopping long.

"You ready?" Nellie asked her and Suzy nodded. They had a simple plan. Walk in, confidently and blast away anyone in the private room. "Let's go" she said and they both got out of the car, Tommy guns in hand and walked across the street with them by their side.

As they entered the door, people at first looked up and then gasped as Nellie and Suzy raised their weapons. A couple of people dived underneath the small tables they had but Nellie ignored them, keeping her eyes forward and walking towards the back of the small restaurant where she could see shapes moving behind a private area with frosted glass and wooden doors. There was a man sat outside looking bored. His eyes widened as he saw Nellie and Suzy and he reached inside his jacket.

BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Nellie took him down before he had a chance to react and some people around her screamed. She didn't stop moving forward, reaching the door a second or two later and kicking it open. Luigi Martinelli was sat in the middle of a table, surrounded by a couple of other men in suits smoking cigars and one man wearing a shirt who was still halfway through a forkful of meatballs.

The people round the table looked in surprise as Suzy joined Nellie by her side but again before anyone could do anything, they both opened fire. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Suzy took the left side of the room and Nellie the right. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. They spread their shots across the line of bodies that started jerking in their seats as BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM, the bullets penetrated and killed them. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. The clean guns were so efficient and ruthless and within a few seconds the men were dead and the drums were empty, all 100 rounds collectively spent.

"Headshots" Nellie said to Suzy, and both women reached inside their jackets to shoulder holsters to retrieve Beretta pistols. BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM. They each fired two shots, one into the head of each man on their side.

"Mmm" Suzy moaned softly and Nellie knew she was enjoying the killing as much as she was herself. She changed the magazine in her Tommy gun quickly, making sure the restaurant could hear the chik-chak sound as she chambered a new round.

"Keep your heads down, nobody move" Nellie ordered. She had an authoritative voice and people listened to her, in this case cowering away as she walked out of the restaurant with Suzy, gun ready to strike at any moment.

When they reached the car, Suzy allowed herself to moan a louder. "Mmm, oh god!" she said loudly, "I think my knickers are getting wet already".

Nellie smiled. She knew the feeling well although was not as loud in her pleasure as Suzy. The sensation of pulling a trigger and seeing the gun waste a man away was something indescribable that she enjoyed with a sensual energy. She looked at the next name on the list. They were not far away. "It's only five minutes drive to our next guy" she said, "Geno Mazzi, the Watchmaker. If we go now, we'll make it before he shuts up shop"

Suzy nodded and they took off towards a commercial street where Geno Mazzi's shop was. By day he was often in the shop attending to repairs on timepieces but at night he was also in charge of a network of spies that the Martinelli's had in the city that brought him whispers of what was happening around both Pacific City and the rest of the country.

The car slowed as they approached the Watchmaker's shop and they saw him out front, locking the door before pulling his hat over his head and walking away in an overcoat. He began walking away from them. Nellie clambered to the back seat of the motor car and prepared her Tommy gun. "Drive past slow" she said, "I'll put him down". She wound the window down slowly and used the ledge to rest the barrel of her gun on it.

Suzy set off slowly after Mazzi. They got within a few metres before he turned to face the car but Nellie was ready. She was looking square down the barrel and tracking his movements. When he turned, his chest simply became a bigger target. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She opened fire and controlled the aim as the car crept past him. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. His coat was punctured by her bullets and his arms spread out wide in pain. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She continued to fire as they rode past until Mazzi fell to the floor.

Nellie got out of the car and heard the screams of some passers-by. She pointed her gun in their direction. "Get the fuck out of here" she commanded and they turned and ran. "OK Suzy, finish him" she said, as she continued to survey the scene, gun ready to strike at anyone else.

"Oh fuck yeah" she heard Suzy say. "Ooooooh". Suzy moaned as she opened fire. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. "Ungh, yeah" BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She continued to pull the trigger.

Nellie looked round to see that Geno Mazzi's head was now strewn across the sidewalk, bits of bone and brain littering the ground. Suzy's Tommy gun was smoking profusely after the 50 bullets she had emptied into him and her face was a picture of ecstasy. She placed a gloved hand down her trousers for a second and then brought it up to her mouth to taste.

"You good?" Nellie asked her as they climbed back into the car.

"Never better," Suzy said. "Fuck, that was hot as hell". They set off again before anyone else could reach the scene of the crime. The next name was a longer drive. Nellie directed her towards a factory on the edge of the city.

"It's Joey Martinelli next" she told Suzy. "He's Rico's eldest nephew so you can be damn sure he'll have some protection with him. The intelligence says he runs the extortion racket around the industrial parts and we'll find him there". She took charge of reloading both of their Tommy guns and making sure they were ready for what was next. They pulled the car up near the factory and Nellie took out some binoculars. She squinted to look through some windows and see.

After a bit of searching, she could see Joey Martinelli in an office. He was counting cash that had been collected alongside two other men whose jackets were off and shoulder holsters on display. They looked to be on the first floor of the factory and she had no doubt there would be other men outside the office where he was holed up. "We need to lure his muscle away" she told Suzy. She spotted a side door to the factory. "Look, sneak in there and find some cover" she told her, "I'll draw them away and you cut them down".

"Good plan" Suzy said, "be careful". Nellie nodded and they got out of the car quickly. Suzy ran quickly towards the side door whilst Nellie headed to the front, moving as swiftly as she could with her Tommy gun by her side. She found a place behind some industrial loom where she had a good look up to the office area. Sure enough, there were two suited men with fedoras and holding Thompson submachine guns of their own.

Nellie drew her Beretta from her shoulder holster and aimed it blindly round the corner of the loom. BAM, BAM. Her shots were wild and off target but they did the job. The two men outside the door shouted and ducked and then returned fire. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM, BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Their bullets glanced off the metal machinery but Nellie heard them talking.

"Go on, we'll fucking get you, asshole!" a man called. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM.

A piece of glass in the window afforded Nellie a quick glance at the men. They were doing as she wanted, descending the stairs towards her position. BAM. Another shot from her Beretta drew more shouts and they returned fire again with more bullets of their own. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM, BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She could see they were edging closer, becoming more in the open. She holstered her Beretta and prepared to work with her Tommy gun.

"Hey guys" she heard Suzy call. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. The blonde woman had stepped out from the shadows behind the two men and began to shoot them down. Nellie emerged herself as they tried to take cover, firing her own submachine gun. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. The rapid fire of the two weapons caught the two men in a crossfire and she heard them shout out in pain as hers and Suzy's bullets found their targets. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM, BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Both men had dropped their weapons and fallen to the floor, riddled with holes.

Suzy sauntered over to the two men, lowering her Thompson and pulling out her Beretta from her shoulder holster. "Headshots yeah?" she said to Nellie before smiling and tapping each man. BAM, BAM. Neat holes appeared in their foreheads.

"Now for Joey" Nellie said, pointing up to the office. "Go up the right stair, I'll take the left". She pointed to two iron staircases that led up to the upper floor. They both started to go their respective directions and she heard a man shouting from the office.

"You know who I am! You know what the fuck I'm doing!" the angry voice of Joey called out and Nellie braced herself, taking some cover nearby. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. There was wild firing from inside the door, the bullets bursting through but going straight ahead, as if they had no clue where their targets were. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. They were giving away their position and Nellie looked at Suzy opposite her, pointing at where to aim.

The two women rose up and returned fire. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Their guns roared but Nellie also heard the sounds of pain. A couple of shots went up as if the shooters were falling. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Her and Suzy continued their relentless spraying of the walls and door, putting more holes in them than they could count until the drums ran dry.

Nellie quickly changed her magazine and walked, gun still high and alert to the office door, Suzy doing the same. They kicked the door open and observed the scene. The cash the men had been counting was everywhere and all of them had been riddled with bullets. They were gurgling and choking and she saw Joey Martinelli with his jet black hair raise a hand. "Waste them Suzy" she said cruelly, making sure the men heard what she said.

BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Nellie's body tingled as her and Suzy curved their gloved fingers around the triggers and started to spread cold hard death around the room. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. They focussed on the men's chests and heads, opening them up and shredding clothes and skin and bone on each one. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. The guns smoked and the flame from each shot made the room smell like something was burning. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. They did not let up until all 100 combined rounds had been spent and the three men were unrecognisable.

Nellie could feel her knickers soaking and her breasts standing to attention as she breathed deeply. The kills were intoxicating and she was hungry for more. "One more" she said to Suzy as they quickly exited the factory, the distant sound of sirens being able to be heard.

Again, she changed the magazines on the guns from the passenger seat as Suzy drove. They only had their final target to go and headed westward. "It's Sal Cosino, the butcher". Cosino was one of the most famous lieutenants in the Martinelli gang. He was known for his brutal ways of torturing and killing his victims with large knives and he was in charge of the retribution when you crossed Rico Martinelli. The notes that Nellie and Suzy had showed he would be visiting a bar or two in the West of the city - all they needed to do was find him.

They found a quiet place to park near a bar that they knew the Butcher frequented. "OK, let's wait it out" Nellie said, deciding against going guns blazing into an establishment. From what they knew, Cosino changed his position often, getting restless if he stayed in one location for too long. Sure enough, they soon saw him sauntering out of the door and lighting a cigarette, a long brown overcoat over his body and a wide fedora hat on his head. He was soon flanked by four men and they set off together.

"That's a lot of muscle" Suzy said.

"Yeah, but it'll make him complacent" Nellie assured her. "Look, they're probably on the way to Little Tony's place. There's an alleyway over there they need to go through. Get round the other side with the car. I'll take the rear".

"Got it" Suzy said, smiling at Nellie as she exited the car, Tommy gun in hand. Nellie kept to the shadows, keeping the rear of the group in sight. Occasionally one of the muscle would look round but she made sure she was quiet and well-hidden.

As she had expected, the group started walking down the alleyway, Sal Cosino still smoking and a couple of the muscle sharing a joke. They reached the middle and Nellie heard the sound of tyres squealing as Suzy's car skidded to a halt at the other end.

"Fuck! Take cover!" Cosino screamed, ducking behind a wall and his muscle doing the same behind bins and other objects as Suzy emerged from the car door, levelling her Tommy gun at the group. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She sprayed the alleyway from side to side and there was a cry of pain as one of the muscle that Cosino had brought was cut down before finding some cover. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Suzy gave another burst into his body before taking cover behind a wall herself.

"Kill that bitch!" Cosino shouted to the men around him, and all of them drew pistols from inside their jackets and coats and started shooting wildly. BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM. Cosino had drawn a revolver and was shooting too. BAM-BAM-BAM it roared. They were so focussed at shooting at Suzy that Nellie knew they had no idea she was in an ideal place to cut them down as they emerged.

BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She started shooting with her Tommy gun, hitting the men in their backs. They shouted in pain but she did not let up. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. They dropped their guns and fell to their knees and then Suzy rounded the corner to catch them in a crossfire. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Nellie laughed at the men's inadequacy as they were shot multiple times by both of them. The vibrations of the gun were controlled by her and she knew that with it in her hands, she was the most powerful woman in the world. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Her gun finally ran empty as she surveyed the broken men on the floor.

She changed her magazine and began giving final bursts to the muscle into their heads. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Suzy did the same, taking two men who had fallen closest to her. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. The two women met and stared for a minute at the Butcher. Sal Cosino was gurgling and trying to reach for his revolver on the floor but his arm was flailing, the bullet holes in his chest having already rendered him mostly immobile.

Nellie and Suzy both laughed at him before pointing their Tommy guns to his chest. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. They both emptied their drums into his chest, ripping open his clothes and inside into a bloody gory mess that poured down the alleyway. "Mmmmm, mmmmm, yeah!" Suzy was being vocal again in her pleasure. She lowered her Tommy gun and put her hand down her trousers again. "Oh FUCK!" she shouted and Nellie knew that she had been brought to an instant release again. She brought her hand out from her trousers and wiped her gloves on Cosino's face.

"Remember the headshots" Nellie told her as she lowered her own Tommy gun and undid her jacket. She pulled her Beretta pistol from her holster and Suzy did the same. They aimed at Cosino's head. BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM. They stroked the triggers and the guns slid back and forth, emptying a new bullet into the skull of Cosino as they did. BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM. They used all 12 of their collective bullets and the Butcher looked like a slaughtered pig.

The wail of sirens broke them from their reverie and they headed back to Suzy's car, jumping in it and speeding away to ditch it on the outskirts of the city. They would be picked up by some more of Helen's gang later.

They arrived at the outpost, a small barn in a rural area only a few minutes before Annie and Ruth. They collectively laughed and joked about their night of slaughter. Martinelli's gang had been well and truly punctured and they knew that Pacific City would never be the same again. The Takeover was well and truly underway.

Gungrave live reactions

for the entire series CW: sexism(?), racism(?), vulgar language, I am a 36 year old man who did not censor my thoughts as I was watching it. This took a little over a month and is just a compilation of discord messages I sent

gotta say the opening scene of the first ep is great I wish his name wasn't "Brandon Heat" though I'm sorry but that's a lame name Especially for an anime ok his anime name is "Beyond the Grave" Glad we got that established

I'm about 2/3 through the first ep and this is definitely a 90s anime 😂 (not that there's anything wrong with that)

gungrave ep 2 They named the black kid kenny I will be very surprised if kenny doesn't die this ep

someone died in ep2 It was not kenny I am genuinely shocked here's to ep3

kenny has finally died But so did a lot of other people RIP Kenny

It's going a lot harder (emotionally) than I was expecting, given the first ep I'm just starting ep4 now

so far my biggest problem with gungrave is that brandon seems like a mute character but he talks sometimes But the times he talks make no sense, they're not really that important So the whole decision to not talk a lot seems super awkward instead

yeah edgy teen show is definitely ep 1 and not any ep after that (so far) (I'm only on ep 4)

another thing that bugs me is all the pans are weirdly fast but the mute/not actually thing brandon does bugs me way more than the pans

ep6 I like harry more than brandon didn't anticipate that

oh god the audio delay on this ep is horrible I hope it's just this one ep and not the rest of them

ep11 of gungrave bold strategy, cotton.gif let's see if it pays off it only worked out because of plot armor

ep12 of gungrave Brandon got a hair cut and looks like a real yakuza now

… I hate it

gungrave ep14 normally I don't care about fictitious relationships or how problematic they are but maria has convinced herself she loves her grandfather, who raised her, because brandon broke up with her and orchestrated a perfect moment And now she's pregnant by her grandfather and like this is scummy in so many different ways but mostly I just feel kinda 😩 about what it says about maria's intelligence in fact all the women in this series (actually now that I think about it, there is literally ONLY TWO) are just really fucking dumb

ep14 has some real beautiful compositional symbolism (unsure if that's the accurate term) Harry wears white and brandon wears black harry is in the shadow and brandon isn't harry tries to get brandon to betray the family and of course brandon won't. He goes to shoot harry. But doesn't and starts crying the gun lands precisely in the middle. Implying brandon's thinking about it? Or maybe it's just for symmetry. idk

this scene really slaps you over the head with symbolism. I don't care. I'm a fan

damn this show took a fucking turn

oh good just in time for Harry's break down ep15 is where the grey haired brandon comes in!

Maria is the dumbest bitch ever "I just found out brandon is alive! Oh I didn't see him myself. An aide of mine said they talked to him" Maria: Cries from happiness "Oh just knowing he's alive is enough!" bitch please supernatural stuff isn't known in this canon do you just believe everything you're told? wtf This is some pregnancy psychosis shit

damn you think Harry went crazy with power but he really went crazy with power

damn what's in this suitcase that makes it weigh so much ep18 brandon finally comes out of a coma

ep18 is where ep1 left off

while watching gungrave I had some fever memory recollection of an anime called Heat Guy J So I looked it up It seems to be a combination of robocop and minority report?? Also it has a werewolf apparently

youtube

ep22 of gungrave I think I can fit this in before I need to leave this is totally gonna end with mika, who is like 17, dating brandon/grave if it doesn't, I'm gonna be surprised so all three women in this show will get with dramatically older guys and also be stupid idiots

hm ok brandon/grave only has 10 days of life left unless they magically come up with a different way to make him live so there's 2 eps to figure that out and/or have sex we'll seeeeeeeeeee oh, 4 eps actually Whatever anyway I'm out for a few hours to the family function

gonna attempt to finish gungrave I'm starting ep 23 of 26 gonna play them at 1.5x normal speed good mika (16ish) professes her love for grave (40+, died once) and grave is like "I'll be your guardian and protect you but that's all" Good We don't need yet another pedo relationship in this anime

ep24 "promise me you won't die before me" the girl who married a guy 30 years her senior says 🙄 oh I guess this was foreshadowing She got shot and died

grave is literally falling apart like bad pottery ep25

lmao harry, the guy who has no issues murdering literally anybody, swerved to avoid a cat in the road

the crash from the cat was so bad his whole life flashed before his eyes. This ep was a huge flashback oh grave's hair is white instead of grey now I guess because he's almost dead… again ep26 Last one

it's over they killed eachother

Who in the FF VII gang do you think can bake? I've got cookies on the brain now

HELP

i think Tifa probably knows how to bake, with her running a bar both in canon and post canon, i think she probably got her hands in doing other stuff in the kitchen

in my heart i feel like Barret would be good or maybe was in the past before he lost his hand, but he would be a bit awkward with his prosthesis (especially when he was only having a gun there). But i think Barret would still try because it's important for him to be able to have those bonding moments with Marlene. So i think he probably wouldn't bake with ease but he'd help out as much as he can in the kitchen still.

(in fact i totally picture that when Tifa and Barret met each other they both teamed up to give Marlene as much of a normal upbringing in this chaos so they'd be in the kitchen with Marlene on Barret's lap, and Barret would whip the ingredients once they were all together, while showing Marlene how to do, while Tifa would help out for all the things Barret would be awkward with doing)

I also believe Reeve can cook pretty well because his mom taught him right (he's a real momma boy, watch On The Way To A Smile: A Denzel Story to learn more--), but he's always so busy that he keeps just feeding himself with energy drinks and food so much so he probably forgot how to cook. Save him.

the remake also leads me to believe Biggs would cook pretty well since he was very active at the Leaf House taking care of kids and the others folks there talk about how Biggs would effortlessly take good care of the place.

for the rest of the cast, i feel like most of them either are neutral or disaster in the kitchen. I don't think Cid ever set a food in the kitchen to help out. Nanaki cooking with his paws is out of the question. Cait Sith is a robot and probably inherited his creator's lack of focus on that. Vincent has been locked in a coffin sleeping for 30 years this man doesn't know how to even navigate in a kitchen anymore.

I feel like Yuffie is probably more used to survival cooking type to really know how to bake but who knows.

I don't believe Cloud, Zack, or Aerith would be able to not fuck something up in the kitchen. I genuinely believe Cloud and Zack would both have the idea of "if we need to cook 10 mins at 300° degree it'd be quicker if we cook it at 3000° right" "i'm getting out the fire materia brb" and then they would fuck it up, and for Aerith i believe she would try her hardest and all but something will go wrong somehow. I believe those three would be disaster in the kitchen, i believe in my heart--

oh and in the Crisis Core squad, i believe Angeal could bake quite well. Genesis would never dirty his hands with that but he'll be here reciting Loveless verses for mental support (his friends are not feeling supported there). Pre-Madness i feel like Sephiroth would help out but never be really good with it, since he was always made to focus more on war stuff anyway, and i feel like it'd add a layer to how his Madness was pretty much "well i'll be the monster they set me out to be anyway" by also reacting like "oh they think i can set a kitchen on fire? what about tHE WHOLE TOWN" (Nibelheim dying in the back)

Kunsel could probably bake but he's always busy with data collection so he's probably not having the head for it. Also Avalanche-wise i have no idea for Jessie and Wedge, could go either way.

and oh god there's the Turks too i can't forget.

before that: Rufus never cooked in his life he's a rich kid. I don't trust Reno in the kitchen at all, Rude, it's up for debate. I feel like Elena wouldn't be good either. The only Turks i'd trust are probably Tseng because he's a perfectionist, and Cissnei because she seems more put together at least

... so yeah in term of the main squad i really only believe in Tifa, and Barret is probably the closest to her because he makes effort damnit, else i include Angeal, Tseng and Cissnei on the list.

this is my final message--

#i thought too much about it i think #ichareply #anonymous #ichafantalks ffvii

Have you calmed down Mem? You haven't posted in a few days? - No, I have not. I just started my rants and realized I needed more time to rotate those particular details, so I'm sure you'll be getting more of it later. Also, I needed to pause my reread of Tun Hai because I'm not altogether sure I won't go right back to Poyun once I've finished, and I needed January to be over before I read it a third time this year.

See? I'm consuming media that makes me unhinged in an entirely normal way.

One of the reasons that these novels make me so feral though is the underlying premise of Knowing someone. Because we're all queer here and that totally makes us feral, I know.

But just, I saw someone comment about how Yan Xie accepts Jiang Ting despite the lies, and that's kind of not what's going on. Yes, Jiang Ting is a lying liar who lies. He's not even very good at saying what he wants in the relationship, Yan Xie specifically calls him on this repeatedly.

Because he's not very good at saying it, but he shows up in Yan Xie's apartment after the key was tossed at him, he drinks the 'wife tea' once the tea cake has already been rendered valueless (And I adore that Yan Xie has to break up the second one before he'd touch something so expensive. Yan Xie sees through him), he takes Yan Xie out to lunch and hangs out with him, not just for the case (though he's definitely doing that too. He's a trauma kitten that needs enclosure simulation because he will overthink everything if left alone), but because he sees that freedom and yearns for it, and that yearning turns to affection that he can't stop himself from getting near, no matter how bad an idea it is.

So yes, he's lying, but three separate people in the novel have watched him long enough to know Jiang Ting isn't who everyone says he is and who he himself thinks he is. Yan Xie watched as Jiang Ting raised the gun to his own forehead when Jin Jie triggered him and he knew that Jiang Ting couldn't have pulled the trigger against rivet. Han Xiaomei knew there was something wrong because she might be just an intern but she's not stupid, but she saw that Jiang Ting would kill without blinking an eye and she also knew he kept her hidden intentionally to protect her. Ma Xiang listens to Jiang Ting say yes, he is the most suspicious of everyone, but chooses to ignore all that and trust him anyway because he sees how broken Jiang Ting is while Yan Xie is in the operating room. Jiang Ting is essentially the open secret of the whole sub-bureau and this is not because Yan Xie is besotted with him, but because they've all judged his actions and decided against all reason that he's not the mole.

Of course they know he's lying about his past. They saw the him of now and decided what was known wasn't nearly as relevant as the evidence of who Jiang Ting is before them.

When Yan Xie says 'Why are you always so dishonest about your feelings?" When he says "Why do you always choose the wrong people to protect you?" When he says "Why don't you trust me to still love you?" He knows. He knows Jiang Ting. He knows the past is important and that it matters, but none of the past will ever change the fact that he's in love with Jiang Ting now - in the person who Jiang Ting is to him. Because that person who Jiang Ting is, who he sees, isn't wrong.

When Jiang Ting asks "Do you still trust me?" after Yan Xie has finally uncovered everything, and Yan Xie responds with a shrug and "What do you think?" Jiang Ting has to hastily cut him off, saying "It's better that you don't." Because he's half-afraid of the answer Yan Xie will give when he has to betray him and point a gun at his head and it has to be believable or they'd both be dead.

Yan Xie has already deleted the one picture from his phone album that he couldn't get rid of. He's already had his heart broken. He doesn't even realize when he's started crying when Jiang Ting kisses him and points the gun at him. But he still never denies it. Even when he can't fully believe in the hope that's being dangled before him, because Yang Mei is the one who saved him and that had to be planned, he still goes to Chief Lu and asks. He still says 'it was too fast and I didn't see clearly' despite Jiang Ting shooting ten people in front of him.

He still goes home and sees Jiang Ting everywhere in their apartment. And when he finally, finally finds evidence that Chief Lu was the one lying this time, he bluffs his way to finding out the truth about Jiang Ting being undercover without a second thought. Because despite everything, he loves the person Jiang Ting is.

Tun Hai goes a step further, and there's a reason I go ride or die so fast in that novel. Because Bu Chonghua is wrong about so many things. Like, I genuinely love how off he is on the mark of his analysis of Wu Yu, while still being 100% right about seeing through him. When he falls in love with Wu Yu, he falls hard, and all of his assumptions get turned on their head in the end, but that doesn't matter to him. What matters is Wu Yu in front of him that he's fallen in love with. That this is the person he's been chasing after for twenty years, without even knowing who he was. When he raced back to the martyr's cemetery because he bet that he knew Wu Yu, despite everything and that he couldn't be wrong because he knew the person he had fallen in love with. And Wu Yu isn't there, he nearly turns back, but then he sees Wu Yu is just a little later than him and he won his bet despite everything.

Wu Yu is terrified of Bu Chonghua's ability to see through him. He knows it's only a matter of time and he's set to disappear entirely, he's already known. Jiang Ting pulls him back, helping him hide and letting him stay a little longer (and I am So Normal about this, fuck, Jiang Ting this isn't even your novel and I'm feral), but it's already too late. When Bu Chonghua asks who a'Gui is, when he flat up tells Wu Yu that's it's a nice story, but that doesn't make the story less of a lie, and he says "But none of that matters because I still love you."

It's not that Wu Yu and Jiang Ting lie. It's not that Yan Xie and Bu Chonghua accept them despite knowing it's a lie. Because it's not a lie, not really, not where it matters most. There is evidence and there is the truth that is before them, and these dumb ass cousins choose to love the truth in front of them instead. When everyone, including Wu Yu and Jiang Ting themselves told them of the Monster that they are, Yan Xie and Bu Chonghua said that maybe you are a monster, but you're not a Monster to me. I'll look head on, because I've already seen the Truth.

And listen, I'm aware this is a gay coproganda novel, but it didn't have to go so hard at being Queer. That's just rude.

#Breaking through the Clouds #Swallowing the Seas #Huai Shang #seriously someone read these with me #also I've half a post about Wu Yu's canon Disney Princess gender identity #but it needs to ruminate a bit more #same with Bu Chonghua and his definition of home #Also I say I paused tun hai reread because january #but truthfully it was because I knew the Flashback lies were coming #and I knew they would hurt twice as much #and boy did they #like fuck that hurt a lot #and Jiang Ting lying through his teeth to convince Wu Yu not to run away #I have a Lot of Emotions about that scene #Because only the two of them know the lies and only the two of them are there but they still cannot say the truth #Look I know you have to go through three different translations for the first book #And the translator of the second never managed to figure out how to link the next chapter #But you should still all join me

I'm going to bed soon, but I just want to say (as an adult that dropped outta college and then went back) that your education is not final. It's not be all end all.

It'll hurt for a while, everythin hurts for a bit, but either you'll tell her or you won't, and that's okay. Your choices are for you, and we all care about you man. You're not stupid for jus like? feelin feelins. All that shits totally normal and valid but you hafta stick with life nd with us or whoever you ends up spending life with. I can't help much nd I ain't gonna pretend I can (<- on the aroace spectrums) with the whole love thing, but jus know that it's ALWAYS better to write your thoughts out then keep em inside. That way you can come back later and look at them nd see your thought processes nd stuff. Or you can write em out nd delete it if that helps.

Life might suck right now, but it ain't gonna suck forever. The only way that it WILL suck forever is if it's cut short, so don't let that happen, y'know? If life tries to kick you down, throw mfing hands and take your time and get back up when you can. It don't matter when you do, just that you do at all.

I dunno. I dunno if this helps, but I'm jus tryin to say that you're not alone and youse cared about nd also jesus christ my typing style help god please not the newsies the infection (/lh). Stay safe man. - Jack

fuckyou im sobbing now/lh

i just

i grew up being taught that showing any emotion besides Happy or Neutral is Bad!™️ so its really difficult for me to like

deal with anything? because i was taught to push feelings down and stick it out, and my parents have made it all worse by never showing emotion either. i didnt see my dad cry in front of me until i was fourteen, and the only time ive seen my mom cry was when i got a bad grade, so its all fun and games here. and my pa is literally bashitbonkersoutthewazzoo. like he's a conservative (we live in the south us for context so its even Worse!) and he taught me to shoot a gun at the ripe age of three! and theres a gun in every room and he's a. he reveres ben shapiro and jesse kelly and those guys, and i spent the entire quarantine listening to him talk abt how the election was faked and how covid was either fake or brought by the chinese (he couldnt decide) and hes severly racist!!! yippee!!/s so feelings arent a big thing in my house.

added onto the fact that i was raised christian? the first time i looked at a girl differently, or the first time i realized how uncomfortable i was jn my own body was horrifying to me. im atheist (ish? it's complicated) now so it doesnt matter to me, but i still have all that internalized crap abt liking her.

and i have severe pain in both of my knees like literally 24/7 and ive had it for YEAAARS but my ma didnt believe me until super recently and so i only just got an appointment with an orthopedic doctor! because the first general doctor told me i was faking it<3

and!!!!!!! the real fukcing kicker!!!! my parents have blatantly refused to pay for my education!!!!!!! like outright and several times!!!!!! only because i wanna get my bachelors in fine arts in theater!!!! they said it was a stupid degree and that i would get nowhere<3 so ive got that ahead of me too. and the last time i got a bad grade, i got grounded for two months. and it was a 79.5 on a minor quiz.

so we have fun here.

but i have all these plans!!! and dreams!!!! and places i want to go to and food i want to eat and languages i wanna learn!!! so i know that i'm not gonna off myself, but sometimes.

sometimes it seems reaaaally tempting.

but i really genuinely appreciate you, and riff, and toff, and dave, because you guys are so much nicer and more sympathetic than anyone i know irl.

so like.

love you/p <3

#man i just wish my parents werent bonkers and believed me when i said something was wrong<3

c3x18 one life to lose

Is this a porno...? Who killed Sarah? Interesting music & scenes... Martha <3 Operate a sponge? Speaking of hair? Why did he say it out loud? Does he usually? Martha come! Do smth productive! She's so right. MR: Richard darling, you are neither trained nor professional.

A writer! Why would anyone want to kill a writer? KB: Oh castle, so many reasons Castle where did that even come from? There are only three reasons to commit a murder. Yo that's a really cool death tbh. Axe severed the spinal cord & then her lungs filled with blood & she drowned??? That's insane! Why does lanie sometimes have a one hour window & today have a four hour window? Lanie <3 CSU has already been in?

Lanie is good, I mentioned how annoying they masculinize & feminize beckett but lanie is literally a mortician/undertaker/coroner/medical examiner/doctor/pathologist dealing with bloody murders, smelly bodies, & she is still the most fiery, sexy, feminine woman around.

Esposito are you flirting? Wow she's flirting right back. espt don't u have a gf? & isn't she right there with a dead body? (just had a fanfic thought: lanie asks to have sex in a coffin, mirroring ryan's previous exploits) KR, softly: Dude JE: Dude KR, firmly: Dude. Hastings: Ditto KR: You also drew a bubble bath & listened to some John Legend? Wow these two are fighting KR: Can we get back to sarah (the literal murder victim) for just one more moment? Look at eachother sus (clipping)

This one's eyes are vibrant. Castle you're an author you MUST know what shippers are. Hun why would u sue the city like that Castle that could be true, except for how dramatic you made it. Tone it down a bit & it sounds legit

Who made the board there? The murderboard guy? Set design <3 I like beckett's scarf. See more, it might be a typing thing.

FCL she died. The american spelling is interesting Yes! Wait no Wow fans. I wonder how ABC would react if we sent a bunch of axes to them demanding our ships get together. (The most popular noncanon ship is rysposito obv so the axes would be sent for them ig.) She calls her parents by their first names? W/e, good for her Mmm stirring coffee.

RC: You know whenever you say the word soapy I conjure up images KB: Castle focus RC: I am KB: On our suspect RC: Oh (clip)

I feel like the writers are sending a message to us the fans... *runs away sus after denying that she was a fan* Let her watch her shows b'y! (they're always making her some hot tomboy muscle car loving gun slinging detective & making her secretly feminine uwu totally lying. Like girl. Don't force her to be masculine in ways that don't fit her, don't force her to be feminine in ways that don't fit her, just let her be a well rounded person.)

RC: That was completely different, that was for research! JE: What was for research? KB+RC: Nothing JE: >:| KB: RC: JE: *shrug, but annoyed* M is murder. She put her appointment for her own murder in her thing (won't clip)

I love the way he says "hey. beckett." & costume update: Esposito has a normal brown long sleeve with a collar; beckett has a nice dark grey vneck longsleeve; castle has his usual, the shirt is grey & I don't see any pattern on the jacket; & ryan has a smile, a tie (red & blue, dark), & a jacket that has a pocket on the front, I love a good breast pocket, this jacket has lapels (& obv he has a pin) but the material is smth I'm unclear on, esp with the pocket, & then he's also wearing a sweater or a vest or smth. (I guess I could snap a pic)

Weird. RC: "Tell us you were alone, it will make arresting you that must easier" It doesn't sound like him. Rick u also know a lot about temptation lane. Also r u texting ur mom?

Did the writers design this episode so we stop talking about rysposito & start talking about esplanie? Wow. Also I don't like esplanie. Esposito is his last name & lanie is her first. It should be esparish. Mother.! Martha their inside source. I'm love. RC: o_o MR: Onscreen RC: *phew* MR: & off RC: 0____0 Holy crap only three weeks & that already happened! MR: gotta go *pushes her boobs up* (dsjkljfsd martha is so great, I think I might clip this)

Oh. I thought beckett was so "omg" bc she was getting a script sneak peak, not bc it was a murder motive lol.

Espt my dude you are in a relationship & like you JUST SAID she is a murder suspect. But I have to admit, watching him wave his hands to get castle into the observation room is rly cute. (CLIPPING) (Cute fistbump too) Lmao chiquitas bananas JE: No. As in the telenovela. I used to watch it growing up with my grandmother. Ok 1- I love how he says telenovela; whenever I speak a french word in english I anglicize it, but when he says a spanish word in english he keeps it spanish. 2- did you grow up with your grandmother or did you watch it with your grandmother when you were growing up? 3- You just said that out loud. You just. Said that. Out loud. Is that smth you want ppl to know? I think it's fine but I'm shocked you thought so too. (but idk how much to clip) It depends on how the system views itself. I have a friend+ who I consider one unit (therefore "a" friend+) but not one person (hence the "+") & it is in like a billion polyamorous relationships within itself, & is also polyam outwardly. With a lot of ppl it isn't out as a system. It dates outwardly as a unit (I think) but is also in inward relationships as I said. On the other hand, I've seen a system where a fronter is dating a fronter from another system, but the other alters within the system are not dating the other system('s fronter). It really depends. Also, you remember this episode?? & you're defending it so do you actually like it or?

Definitely writes death scenes for all the characters. She probably didn't write it all that night tho... Wow language

Just a fur coat. Yeah TV is hard. Writing, writing fast, filming, filming rushed... I wonder what it was like for the team to make this ep

Why is espt telling her abt ryan's findings?

Beckett using castle's writer powers to get out the info XD see he does come in handy! Castle did u lie? Meh it doesn't need to be a lie. Organ harvesting!?

Wow she's very disguised lol. Also does she have segmented heterochromia?

Ten grande for a pair of earrings? How often will you even wear them? Ryan probably wrote notes that cheesy! Just like he read eat pray love! KB & RC: *talking about the case, samebrain* KR & JE: *look at each other* *KR gestures up at them* KB & RC: *standing closer* KR: Do you two practice this when we're not around? :)) (& then espt is looking at em & ryan shuts the case of earrings right in his face) (cliping)

RC: Just trying to keep you on your toes Weird way of saying uniform. Like he was going to say uni but finished the word. Why do we have a scene looking at ryan & espt there? All they do is look at each other. Hi sweetie, is gram there? I need to talk to her. Idk why I like this line sm, i think it's just that it's a representation of family Yeah that's martha.

Castle just kicked down the door!! He actually does love his mom! The actor's version of "show me your golf swing" & it's what like frickin foreplay?

This episode is different. I think. Maybe not. I think it's neat how she says detectives ryan & esposito out loud like that. It's different. Wow. Really is an actor huh. Hey yk what good for him get a movie role. Plagiarism? No the mom. Stage left was honestly not a funny.

Costume update: I love castle's jacket Seperately was implied, castle.

The dress. & the shoes. .. Ooh & the purse! Martha already read thru the script?? NO WHO? WHO MARTHA, WHO?

Hamlet vibes. & there's the hamlet quote. KB: "We already know who the killer is so u'r wasting my time," -Me (won't clip) It's a soap opera, I had to honour the form. I like seeing the TV soap filming of this. & castle mr big dick moneybags famous writer got them to film it lol. Castle mouthing along. Woah a warrant much? yk that's valid but not a valid reason to kill. Castle it COULD HAVE BEEN HERS you ruthless drama queen.

Costume update: Castle is normal, coat & jacket are two shades of brown (but the jacket also has stripes); ryan is wearing a printed dress shirt, tie, sweater (long sleeved vneck, yk, typical dress sweater), & also has a grey coat; espt has a dark dark violet shirt with a black+purple tie; beckett has a feminine striped jacket. I love when stuff that is traditionally menswear is made into women's clothing. It has that masculine professionalism but that elegant femininity. RC: There are no shortcuts in writing KR: Nope but there is to our favourite bar. I found a new route that will get us to the old haunt in 8 minutes. (to espt) You up for a beer? *claps* Come on, *points to castle* I know the owner. (lol that's adorable & it means they actually attend the bar & he tried to find a shortcut & wants to go out with his coworkers/friends, & the little smiles on all of them) & then their three way fistbump thing (clip)

That's a big envelope. Aw he cares abt her even if he teased her. Ah he got it for her to buy her secrets. Aw that's so sweet, honestly! Also fun fact about beckett she got her tonsils removed. People are out there living without their tonsils or without their appendix. Crazy. Josh <3 Hun answer the phone before he hangs up.

Wow martha. Love her. He just shudders XD

not too many good clips, that means I'll be able to fast forward thru this ep, getting my funnies through the subtitles at double speed

never left

Summary: Stefaniya and Yelena's two-year adventure comes to a hiatus when Natasha calls in.

Warnings: Mentions of weapons, that's all

2 years later [stefaniya's pov]

"Welcome back," I speak in Russian to the now former mind-controlled Widow.

"Who..."

"I'm Stefaniya. This is Yelena," I point over my shoulder to Yelena, who lowers the gun that I built with Melina to fit explosive, non-lethal Red Dust bullets in. Definitely my greatest work; I'm a little sad that I'll never be able to top that, but I'll learn to live with it.

"We were both Black Widows like you. You were under Dreykov's mind control, but this Red Dust freed you."

Her eyes tear up. "And Dreykov?"

"Dead. He's gone, now. You're free." I help her stand up.

"What do I... What do I do now?"

"Anything you want to," Yelena answers, switching to English with her. "We're taking you back to our facility now. You can join us and track down other Widows around the world, or we'll help set you up for a normal life. Documents, housing, healthcare, all that."

The Widow-- Irina, is her name-- breathes a sigh of relief and hugs me gratefully. I pat her back gently.

"It's okay, I've got you. We gotta go now, okay?"

Irina nods against my shoulder and we let go of each other, beginning our walk back to the jet. Speaking of the jet, Natasha managed to get us a S.H.I.E.L.D. superjet, which had a lot more space. I show Irina to the medical room where two Widows begin tending to her injuries.

"There's no better feeling than that," I tell Yelena as I sit down in the co-pilot seat.

"Agreed. Super friends, 685. Dreykov, zero."

"Have we really gone over six-hundred already?"

Yelena digs a small notepad out of her pocket, multiple pages filled with the number of Widows we free each month. At the bottom of the most recently filled out page, the total is scrawled in a big font in red marker punctuated with a large exclamation mark and a smiley face. I laugh.

"Wow. I'm impressed."

Yelena smiles proudly. My phone rings and I press accept, bringing it to my ear.

"Hello, котёнок," Natasha speaks through the phone. I smile at the sound of the voice I had missed so much.

I had spent three weeks with Natasha after taking down Red Room, breaking some Avengers out of the RAFT— who am I kidding, Steve and Natasha did most of it while I flew the quinjet. We reunited Clint and Scott with their respective families, Wanda with Vision. They were a cool group of people and I loved spending time with Natasha, but I wanted to help Yelena free the Widows. That's what we had been doing over the past two years, tracking down the millions of Widows around the world and undoing Dreykov's evil work.

"'котёнок'? That's new." ['Kitten'?]

"Yeah, well, your last name is Kotova..."

"'кот' is Russian for cat. Gotcha," I smile, even though she can't see it. "I miss you."

"I miss you, too. How's Yelena and the others?"

"Melina and Alexei are at the facility with the other Widows. We've found two more Widows today, so the six of us are heading back. I'll put you on speaker with Yelena," I set my phone in between us, putting it on speaker.

"Hey, sis!" Yelena says excitedly.

"Hi! How're you? I hope you're taking care of yourself."

"No, Natasha. I was actually thinking of crashing this jet right about now. Maybe try to drive recklessly. Drop a toaster into the bathtub while I'm in it, just to see what happens."

Natasha laughs dryly. "Yeah, yeah, you've made your point."

I fist-bump Yelena, sharing a smile with her.

"How are things with the Avengers?"

"That's actually why I'm calling. There's a situation, and we need all hands on deck. Any of you willing to help?"

I stay quiet and continue staring straight ahead, but I feel Yelena's eyes on me.

"We're gonna put you on mute for a sec, okay, Nat?" Yelena asks.

"Yeah, I can wait."

Yelena turned our end of the line on mute and looks back up at me.

"You want to go."

"No, it's fine. I want to stay here and help you."

"Stefaniya."

I sigh.

"It's okay. We've done a lot of great work for the past two years. You need a change of scenery. No shame in that."

"You always know exactly what to say."

Yelena grabs my hand. "Learned it from you, silly."

I meet her gaze. "Would you be mad if I left?"

"No. Years ago, you promised me that you'd always come back. I'll hold you to that."

I'm about to lean over in my seat to hug Yelena but then remember that I'm also controlling the jet, so I steady it after it shakes in the air a little.

"The Avengers wants you to help save the world?" Yelena taunts playfully. I stick out my tongue to her.

"Hah, hah." I tap the unmute button on my phone.

"Still there?"

"I never left."

"I'm in."

"Sounds perfect. I'm already at the facility to pick you up."

"You asked her for an answer and yet you're already there?" Yelena scoffs.

"I knew she couldn't pass this up. You, however..."

"Okay, you know what, Romanoff?!" Yelena raises her voice.

The siblings bicker while I sigh and put on my noise-cancelling headphones, prepared for exact moments like this, and continued steering the jet.

Ten more minutes until I can see Natasha again.

Little blue pill

Pairing: DJ!Bucky Barnes x Editor!Reader

Warnings: 18+, mentioned drug use, unintentional enhancement drug usage, fluffy smut (unprotected sex - please practice safe sex!), FEELINGS 💙

A/N: Please note that this fic includes illicit and legal drug consumption and while it is a make-shift situation please note that ED drugs can significantly lower your performance if you take them without having actual ED problems. Additionally I don't condone the usage of illicit drugs - I'm already against smoking in general let alone anything harder than that 😅

You never thought you'd end up having such a job. In all fairness when you applied for the position, not much information was given. Normally you would've skipped such an add but that international travel piqued your interest. You assumed it would be some big sporting goods firm with locations all over the world. When you stepped in that meeting room your heart nearly stopped as you came face to face with Alpine, one of your favourite DJs.

"Please call me Bucky." He smiled as he shook your hand. He looked very different in person, his warm smile relaxed you and you had a very fruitful discussion about what your skills are, what the job will be like, what's expected from you and vice versa and your starting salary.

He called you the next day and told you the good news - you got the job and told you to pack your bags for Bangkok. In the three years you have worked for (or as he liked to correct you - with) him you became his videographer, seeing as you had a talent for it and because it was much easier to edit the videos that you took.

At every event you were, Bucky made sure you received the same grade ear plugs as him, to protect you from invasive speaker sounds as you both did your own things. Every event was always spectacular, the huge crowd that started shouting, whistling, chanting and jumping as Alpine took the stage was never short of breathtaking. But to be honest what you loved the most, besides how totally in his element Bucky was, were the special effects - sometimes the fog rolled in, other times there were unimaginable numbers of confetti guns and of course the lights. So many shapes were made with simple lights, so many colours blared in your face, helping everyone enter the state of trans.

When the string of shows ended, Bucky and his friends always ended up at one of the (whichever) city's hottest clubs, celebrating the successful conclusion of the gig. He always invited you with them, but considering that they went to the clubs to get wasted and pick up women...it just wasn't your scene and you always liked to finish your part of the job and release the video of the event as soon as possible. You loved statistics and relied religiously on it - which is why more private videos of Alpine during the gigs were put in the video, the videos were uploaded 2 days after the event and more parts of behind the scene were included in the official videos (signing autographs, fan pictures, radio appearances...).

You were once again in Singapore, making Bucky walk around the city and following him with your camera, stopping often to sign autographs and take pictures. He was not in the mood today.

"Now turn around, it'll be a great shot." You called to him.

"Can we just go back to the hotel? Didn't you get enough shots yesterday? I'm really not in the mood for tonight's stroll." Bucky groaned as he turned to you, stopping in his tracks and your video.

"You know this isn't mandatory, I just like including these shots because it makes people like you more. You rose up the ranks because now you're more involved with the fans, it makes you more reachable and they like that - seeing you out and about as one of them. But you're right, I have enough footage to make something out of it, so you can go back to the hotel." You gave him a reassuring smile.

"I know, I know. But these past 3 festivals, one after the other have really sucked all the energy out of me. And tomorrow is the last day so it needs to be perfect." He sighed and rubbed his eyes. You reached out for his forearms.

"Hey, it's okay. I get that you're tired and you want to give it your all tomorrow, but these things can be communicated before leaving the rooms." You chuckled.

"Yeah...but I know you love Singapore. I wanted you to enjoy the city again." He looked flustered, momentarily until another fan stopped by and shoved a picture at him. He nodded at you as you waited for Alpine to end his signature, before he thanked the DJ and walked away with a smile on his face as he looked at the autograph.

"You won't believe this Bucky, but I'm a grown woman and you don't need to hold my hand all the time." You joked. "Go back to the hotel and get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow." You winked and walked past him.

After the show was done, Bucky and his friends went to the club and you shut yourself in your hotel room, editing the final video.

"Guys, guys, guys listen, I bought us some ecstasy. The guy said it was really good and he tried it himself, said it was a wicked good time." Steve returned back to their booth and threw each one a little blue pill.

"A toast to another successful event and to a well deserved break. Lets party today like there's no tomorrow." He raised his glass of vodka and everyone followed his lead. Three shots later they found themselves on the dancefloor, dancing, jumping and goofing off. Almost right at the 45 minute mark, something shifted, Bucky started feeling warm and it spread to his fingertips, which was not uncommon when he mixed ecstasy with alcohol, but what he didn't expect was to feel the tingle in his penis. He has had a boner enough times in his life to recognize the telltale signs of an upcoming erection. While that wasn't uncommon, none of his usual techniques were working and as he heard around him, he wasn't the only one that had the same problem.

"Fucking hell, Rogers! What the fuck did you drug us with?" Tony yelled over the loud club music.

"The guy said it was ecstasy! I swear."

"Based on the reactions all of us have, I think it's safe to assume it wasn't ecstasy." Tony laughed as he started looking around the club for the lucky woman that will spend the night with him.

"Shit..." Steve cursed and Tony laughed, before he clasped his shoulders and pulled him away to the group of women standing at one of the tables, leaving Bucky alone with Sam and Thor.

"Well, let's have some fun, shall we boys?" Thor smiled and left.

"See any good ones?" Bucky asked and Sam rolled his eyes.

"There's plenty of good ones here, but the best one is back at the hotel." Sam slapped his shoulder. "Go get her. Let this be the perfect excuse and then man up and tell her how you feel." He winked before he left Bucky standing alone in the club with a tent in his pants. He contemplated his PR managers words for a few moments before leaving the club and heading for the hotel.

You were ready for murder when the loud banging on your door woke you up at 3 a.m. Looking through the peephole, you quickly opened your door, suddenly worried.

"Buck-" He pushed you back into your room and quickly shut the door behind him.

"What the hell is happening?" You asked worryingly, he looked distraught. And he was, he was just pacing up and down the hallway, wondering how good of an idea this really was and even though he ended up knocking on the door, watching you now...he was worried what you'll think.

"Steve messed up with our drugs."

"What did you take?"

"We think it was Viagra."

Your eyes fell down to his uncomfortably tight pants and you had to clamp a hand over your mouth as a laugh escaped you, which in turn earned you a glare from the man in front of you.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I know this is actually serious." You chuckled and cleared your throat. "So, what now? Can we do something about it?"

"It's not going away for some time."

"So why don't you pick someone up and have some fun? You deserve it after the last month." You offered.

"Would you be interested?" Your eyebrows jumped up in surprise. He took a step, standing right in front of you, searching your eyes. His erection was gently pressing to your hip, reminding you of its presence.

A brief nod was all he needed before he cupped your cheek, pulling your face closer to his and kissing you slowly, his tongue invading your mouth, making you taste the energy drink he mixed his vodka with. The taste and feel of him consumed you completely, your hands running down his torso, unbuckling his pants before you delved your hand inside and your fingertips ghosted over his standing member. Bucky groaned into the kiss, completely breaking it when you gripped it.

"You have-" You smiled into his lips, before you were pushed onto the bed.

"We'll talk later." He smirked before he kneeled in front of you, opening your legs and started kissing the insides of your legs, slowly making his way to your short PJ pants, making all your muscles tense in anticipation and tickles.

His name softly graced your lips when he kissed your clothed core and you softly gripped his hair making him look up at you. Cupping his cheeks with both hands, you nudged him up, bringing him into another searing kiss.

"Let's take care of this one first." You smirked, scraping your fingernails over his jean clad erection, before standing up and taking your PJs off, Bucky following suit. You swallowed hard when you saw him in all his glory. Those damn sweats he loves to wear on flights are not doing him justice. When he moved to grab at you, you pushed him on the bed, making him lay down before straddling him and easing him in you channel. The groan he let out was nothing you have ever heard before.

"Fuck." Both of you cursed when he was fully sheathed inside. You dropped down on your forearms, your nose touching his, nudging it lovingly, smiling a small smile at the sound he made when you readjusted.

"Please move." Bucky gasped.

"Don't worry, I got you." You said softly and pecked him once more before you pushed yourself up again and started rocking your hips. Your hands wound up on his chest, finding support as you thrust your hips up and down his shaft, making both of you release pleasurable noises as your walls enveloped him again when you sank down. Bucky mirrored your arm placement, his hands covering your breasts, massaging them as you rode him. Your hips started gaining momentum and in a few minutes both of you were panting and moaning messes. It didn't take too long before he was spilling into you, yet he remained hard.

"I think today we will catch up on all those nights we could've been doing this." Bucky chuckled as he tried catching his breath.

"Depends on how long you've been thinking about it." You chuckled as well as you laid on his sweaty chest.

"Over a year. Have you been thinking about it too?" He searched your eyes.

"Many, many times. For the last two years - right about the time I started as a videographer. Getting more glimpses into you made me feel things." You smiled at him and he kissed the top of your head. He always left everything on the podium, especially the first and last night, your favourite shots are always from there - he looks tired, but pleased, genuinely happy and sweaty. Exactly like he looks right now. You trace a pattern on his chest.

"So, how long do we have to make use of this predicament?" You gestured to where you were joined.

"Depends on what the hell Rogers drugged us with. Could be more or less than 7 hours."

"So you will literally fuck me unconscious?" You looked at him incredulously.

"I promise I'll be gentle." Bucky chuckled before switching your positions, pinning your wrists to the mattress and kissing you, before starting round two of many many more.
