“Worse,” Yoongi admits, trying his best to stay out of your line of sight. His cheeks redden, matching the gaudy pink kitten ears he was forced into wearing.
{or alternatively: Seokjin is a terrible wingman. He also runs a profitable business by sending hugs to people’s crushes for a fee. Mix them together and you have a recipe for Min Yoongi’s worst nightmare.} ❞

🦋 mila
─────•~❉᯽❉~•─────
You spritz yourself one last time with perfume before hectically grabbing the strap to your purse and blasting out the door. You’re running late to meet your…well, you aren’t really sure what he is to you. He’s everything and nothing at the same time. As far as everyone else is concerned, he’s professor to you. But in private, in the quiet moments when it’s just you and he, he’s so much more than that. Boyfriend, lover, friend with benefits. You aren’t sure what title fits your relationship best. And never have you used any of those words to describe him. Boyfriend is too formal, lover too sexual, and friend with benefits too distant. He is your…your Austin. That’s the only word that feels right to say. And as you glance at your watch, you realize just how late you are to meet him.
You sprint across the street and a car beeps at you. You throw up a hand and mutter a ‘sorry’ even though you know they can’t hear you. After you round the corner to get to a bridge, you stop and take a moment to collect yourself. You brush your hair back and push it into place, straighten your clothes, dab some sweat from your forehead. You take a few deep breaths to calm your racing heart that’s beating out of your chest, not from the sprint to the park but from the thought of getting to see him again. No matter how many times you do this, how many times you meet him for your - what’s become a weekly - walk through the park just off-campus, you never stop feeling like you’re sneaking around. You never stop getting that adrenaline rush that comes with doing something forbidden. Perhaps that’s because there is always a chance, just a small one, that someone will recognize the two of you together.
You smile as you approach your usual meeting place: a fountain in the middle of the park, a secluded area where you’ve never actually seen another person besides the two of you. Even from the back, you can tell the figure sitting on the bench is him, his gorgeous blonde curls reflecting the golden rays of afternoon sunlight. You peer over his shoulder to see a book flapped open on his lap, as usual, and bite your lip at how academic he is. How handsome he is just doing the thing he loves most. You always cherish these moments, and you’ve gotten very good at picking them up after pining after him in class for so long. These candid moments of him just…existing. You’ve never seen a man exist so charmingly before. You slink up behind him, making sure to be as quiet as possible, and throw your arms around his chest. You allow your lips to hover by his ear.
“Hi Aus,” you whisper in a low voice. 
When his head jerks up from the words on the novel’s page, you can tell your surprise attack was successful. You take advantage of the distraction, running your fingers across the half-open flap of his dress shirt. He chuckles deeply and tilts his head back, a handsome smirk resting on his lips. He reaches up to remove his sunglasses, pushing the golden locks aside with the frames. His other hand moves to rest on your arm, stroking your skin with his thumb.
“Hey you,” he responds. “You’re late.”
“Fashionably,” you roll your eyes.
“You were never late to my class,” he counters.
“I would never disrespect the curriculum like that.”
He lifts your arms over his head, still holding onto them as he uses his thick thighs to push himself to stand. He turns, holding you out at arm's length to take you in. You’ve worn your favorite sundress today, one that you know makes your breasts look amazing. You know he’s noticed that when his eyes drop down to your breasts and then return to your eyes.
“What about this curriculum?” he asks, jerking you toward him. You crash into his chest and giggle, sliding your hands up the shirt and onto the nape of his neck, absentmindedly playing with the extra curly hair there. He leans down, gently brushing his lips against yours. You smirk against him, darting your tongue out to touch his lips before you lean back.
“Oh, I prefer the internship portion of this curriculum. You know, the practicum component where I get to put my skills to work.”
He smirks before pulling you taut against him and crashing his mouth down onto yours. He slips his tongue between your lips, wet and warm as it traces figures along your sensitive skin. You moan into his mouth, your fingers crawling their way into his hair. His hands slip to your ass and he hoists you up onto his hips, walking backward until your back hits what you assume to be the trunk of a tree. You moan again as his hips press into yours. You bite onto his bottom lip, pulling it out and he groans in response before releasing your lips.
“You’ve been studying, baby,” he growls, breathless. “A+.”
You just smirk and hop down. He intertwines his fingers into yours, spinning you around to his side. He snatches his book up, and you start on the path that you’ve trodden so many times before. You both know it by heart now, so you can focus your whole attention on each other.
“What are you reading, Aus?” you ask, gesturing to the book.
“Agnetha Faltskog - The Girl With the Golden Hair.”
He flips the book to show you the cover depicting a beautiful blonde woman. You smile.
“Who’s that?”
“She was one of the members of ABBA. Unfortunately, she died not too long ago, so I wanted to read more about her. It’s very interesting so far.”
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. I love ABBA.”
“They’re one of my favorites. They were certainly a talented group and they produced tons and tons of hits.”
“Enough for two movies and a musical,” you reply with a chuckle, and he laughs. “Hey…”
You stop, glancing down a path that you both gloss by every time you take this walk. You point toward it, pulling on his arm.
“Why don’t we go this way?”
Austin shrugs and redirects his steps to go down the path you’ve chosen. You get back to talking about ABBA and what he’s reading. Then, you talk about what you’re reading and doing. You trudge along the path, making conversation until you start to hear noises in the distance. Your eyes tear themselves away from Austin’s for the first time in a while to notice that you’re approaching a clearing in the woods.
As you emerge into the clearing, the sounds of old 80s music and roller skates on wood flood into your ears. An outdoor roller rink. You smile and point. Austin nods but as you take a step closer you feel him release your fingers and, just out of the corner of your eye, you watch as he shoves his hand into his pocket. For some reason, a sense of embarrassment seeps into your chest.
He does this frequently. Whenever you’re out in public where other people might see you, actually. You know that Austin lives in constant fear of being found out and tattled on by a student or a faculty member. So far, you’ve accepted and lived with it since you understand the risk it poses to his career. But you won’t lie and say that it doesn’t bother you. Actually, as you walk toward the rink to look closer, your brain starts to run through all the times he’d released your fingers, distanced himself from you, he even acted like he didn’t know you on one risky close encounter. It’s a bit embarrassing for you, especially since you’re sure that anyone can see the adoration you hold for him on your face. As you step up to the rink, you’re starting to get a little pissed off, actually. You glance over at him to see a dumb smile playing on his lips as if everything is just dandy. In the afternoon light of the day, he looks so handsome.
But you kinda wanna punch him in the face right now. You should be able to grab his face and kiss him, snuggle underneath his arm, hold his hand. You’re basically a couple…aren’t you? Suddenly, your body is overwhelmed with the need to know if what you feel for him is returned. Until this moment you haven’t questioned it, but now…
Your fingers dance along the banister and onto his fingers. You grab at them, but he snakes them away and shoots you a look like a parent would to a disobedient child. You clench your jaw and then try again, this time sliding your entire body in front of him. He steps back, away from you, and shakes his head.
“Don’t do that.”
You can tell by his tone and body language that he’s starting to get irritated. Good. You smirk, your fingers traveling to his belt loops and hooking into them to yank him against you.
“What? I just wanna be close to you. Don’t you wanna be close to me?”
You press your chest into his and drop your hands to his pelvis, curving them ever so close to his crotch. He sighs deeply, moving his fingers to your shoulders and attempting to push you off of him. But you stay clinging to him, refusing to be removed.
“Come onnnnnn. Just one little kissie. No one will even notice.”
He falters for a moment, and you can practically see the conflict in his eyes, a mixture of disappointment and temptation. He wants you, you can tell, but he doesn’t know if he should take you. Although your heart is racing with the embarrassment of your actions, you’re just so tired of hiding. You could never say it out loud, but you’re pretty sure that you’re in love with this man. You’re not expecting a marriage proposal or anything like that but just some recognition would be nice. You just want to flaunt him, show the whole world that he’s yours.
You hook your finger into the belt loop of his pants and yank him harder against you as your other hand pulls down on his neck. You strain your own neck upward, pushing your chin out to try desperately to connect your lips to his. He begins to move down toward you, but his head jerks back harshly and hands fly to your wrists, sternly removing them from his body. He pushes you back, holding you at arm's length again.
“No. I’ve told you no before. We just can’t do it. It’s inappropriate. That was the deal when we first got together. I told you that we wouldn’t be able to tell anyone, at least not until you graduate in May. I’m sorry, but I can’t risk either or both of us getting into trouble with the university.”
You stare up at him, the unfeeling coldness in his eyes making your fingers clench into fists at your sides. As you calculate your next movement, splats of chilling rain begin to fall onto your skin. You aren’t completely sure what overcomes you, but you find yourself reaching out and firmly shoving his chest. He stumbles back a few steps, his eyes widening and mouth popping open with shock.
“How can you treat me like this?” you shout. “Did it ever occur to you that maybe I don’t like sneaking around and hiding? Did my feelings ever even cross your mind?” You know that what you’re saying is bullshit, but you say it anyway. “No, I’m sure they didn’t. You don’t want us to get in trouble with the university? Us, Austin? Or you?? Don’t think I haven’t heard the gossip that you’re up for tenure already. God forbid the university board should find out that you’re having an affair with me. Bye-bye tenure. That’s the real reason isn’t it?”
“Don’t be petty, Y/N. Of course that’s not the reason. But I just can’t go around shouting to the world that I’m fucking a student,” he spits back.
“So that’s all I am to you, then? Just some student you’re fucking?? I’m just some kind of sugar baby to you, is that it? Someone to pass the time with, something to use?”
“No!” he yells back, taking a step forward so that he’s towering over you. You stick your neck out, challenging him.
“Then what the hell am I to you?”
“Y/N…”
“No, answer my question. What am I to you? Am I your girlfriend or not?”
He says nothing, and you can tell that he’s trying to contain his emotions in the presence of the other people around, some of which could be faculty or students.
“Answer. Me. Austin.”
He stays quiet, his eyes flicking around to take in all the bystanders who are beginning to notice your little quabble thanks to the volume of your voice.
“Fucking answer the question, Austin!” you yell even louder, reaching out to shove him again. “Just say it. Say I’m your girlfriend. Say it!”
“You’re not my girlfriend!!”
His sudden shift in tone shocks you, and you feel heat crawling into your cheeks as you glance around at all the observers watching your drama go down. When you glare back at his eyes, they flash with a moment of concern and guilt. He says nothing and realization begins to dawn on you.
“Whatever. You know what, I don’t care. I’m leaving. Don’t contact me, and I’ll drop your stupid class. Goodbye, Professor Butler. I hope you enjoy your tenure.”
You spin on your heel too quickly for him to respond. You know that nothing you’ve said is true nor does it make any logical sense. But you are so infuriated, so frustrated, so enraged that you just want to be anywhere but next to him. The rain begins to fall harder. And harder. And harder. The drops are freezing cold and you find it ironic. The timing. It’s almost as if you have started the downpour that’s ensuing.
In a matter of moments, what are just a few raindrops pitter-pattering here and there turn into a full-fledged shower. You cross your arms over your chest, shivering as your skin and dress start to soak through. You trudge through the grass which is quickly becoming a muddy mess, not caring what you might look like. You’re pretty sure you’re crying but with the raindrops trickling down your cheeks, you can’t be sure. Just as you’re about to cross the street, you feel someone’s hand on your arm. Whirling around with rage, you raise your arm to strike whatever is clutching onto you.
Austin’s open palm wraps around your wrist to stop it from colliding with his perfect face. You cower as soon as you make eye contact with him, immediately recognizing the fury in his face. His grip on your wrist is firm but not painful.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he growls, and you’re thrown back to all the times in the past few months that you’ve been with Austin. The times that he’d fucked your brains out with eyes like that. The first time that you’d slept together, when he had asked you that exact same question.
“Going back to my dorm so I can get drunk off my ass and update my Tinder profile,” you say, half-joking and maybe half-not.
“Y/N, don’t be like this. Why can’t you just understand? I need this job.”
“Do you? Do you need it more than you need me? Cause if so, then I guess all this bullshit in the past few months has been for nothing.”
You try to pull away, but his hand snakes onto your waist, pulling you against him.
“I need it because of you, don’t you understand? I want to be able to help you! Your student loans, your books, food! Whatever you need. I want to be able to provide for you!”
You have to admit that the sentiment makes your heart flutter for a moment, but you push that feeling down. You’re enjoying the power of your anger too much and making him feel guilty is way too fun.
“You don’t need to provide for me,” you shout. “That’s why I’m getting a fucking college degree. So I can provide for myself.”
You turn to stalk away but whirl back around when something occurs to you.
“So that is it, then? I am just some kind of sugar baby to you. You disgust me.”
This time around, with the combination of your rage and impatience, you’re strong enough to rip away from his grasp. You stomp quickly across the wet sidewalk, splashing puddles of muddy and dirty water up onto your legs.
“You’re not my fucking sugar baby,” suddenly Austin is right next to you. Damn his long legs. You try to speed up, but this is pretty much the fastest you can physically walk and you just have no chance against Austin’s lanky figure. He’s matching your pace with every step.
“Then why won’t you say that I’m your girlfriend? Make up your mind, Austin. I can’t keep sneaking around and waiting for you to accept me. To be proud of me. To show me off. It’s embarrassing to have to tell everyone I’m single when I’m not. I’m embarrassed that you don’t want to show me off. Is there something wrong with me? What, am I not good enough for your hoity-toity professor friends?”
“No. That’s not it. You’re very, very bright and an amazing person. We both know that-”
“Then why? Why won’t you accept me? Why do we have to continue to hide? I hate this. I hate lying to my parents, my friends, the people who are closest to me. Because you know what?? I want to tell them. I want to tell everyone. I want everyone to know. I lo…I like you so much. So so much, and I can’t tell anyone about it! No one!”
You’re definitely crying now. At this point, you’ve both stopped in the middle of the street. Your fists are splayed out behind you to offset the force of your screams. You’re breathing heavily, between the fast walking, the crying, the freezing rain shaking your body, and the anger. Shockingly, not a single car is passing by on either side of the street. You should probably move and that thought crosses your mind for a quick second, but lord knows you’re too stubborn to move before he does.
“And you think it doesn’t kill me? Not to tell anyone about you? Not to show you off? Goddamn it, Y/N/, you’re the most amazing person I’ve ever known. You’re beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous, the hottest person I’ve ever seen. You’re ethereal, it’s unreal. And you’re funny and quirky and quick-witted. And so smart and sure of yourself. You’re so talented and everything about you makes my heart race. I’ve never loved anyone like I love you, but I cannot ruin your life. I will not ruin our lives like this. I need the job so I can…”
He hesitates, suddenly realizing how many confessions he’s just spat at you. Your heart is thudding against your chest so loud that it’s drowning out the sounds of the harsh rain on the rooftops of the buildings along the street. You don’t know what to do. He loves you. He’s said it. Officially.
But he needs the job so he can…what??
“So you can what?” you ask, your eyes flicking between his.
A moment of tense silence passes between you as you wait for him to answer your question. You take a step forward, leaning your head up to gaze into his deep blue eyes. You raise your hand to his face, brushing a thumb over the slick cheek covered in cold rain. You watch as a few drops of water roll off his plump parted lips and you want more than anything to suck all the drops up. To taste the water on him.
Just as he’s about to answer, you jump at the sound of a loud beep. You glance to the side to see a black sedan racing toward you. Austin instincitvely pulls you against him, spinning around so that his back is facing the oncoming traffic. His arms slide under your armpits and lift you up so that you’re hovering above the ground. He walks forward onto the sidewalk. The car drives past with a beep, the window barely rolled down as the driver angrily shouts obscenities at you.
You continue to walk backward, pulling Austin underneath an awning on the nearest building. You press your back against the brick wall, absentminedely sticking your tongue out to catch a drop of water falling off your nose. He slides in next to you and you both try to catch your breaths.
“So you can what?” you ask.
“What?”
“You were saying that you…you need the job so you can something, but you didn’t finish.”
“Oh…it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
“Are you in some kind of trouble?” you ask, reaching to grab his hands. “Maybe I can help. Is something wrong?”
“No, no. It’s nothing like that,” he gazes into your eyes and then chuckles, shaking his head. “It’s…just some dumb idea I had.”
“What? You can tell me. Anything.”
He glances up at you again, and you can tell he’s weighing his options.
“Well…it’s stupid, but I was just saying that…I need the job to start saving for a…ring…”
Your breath catches in your throat and with the wet air and rain dripping down your face you start to cough. You bend over at the waist, coughing your lungs up as Austin rubs your back soothingly.
“Woah, woah, baby girl. Deep breaths, honey, deep breaths.”
“A…ring?” you sputter. “Like a…like a wedding ring?”
“No, no!” he holds his hands out in front of him with wide eyes. “Dear god no. I may be older, but I’m still way too young to be ready for marriage. No, I just thought that…well maybe you could wear it and think of me. And that could kind of show people that you’re taken.”
“So…like a promise ring?”
“Uh…yeah, like a promise ring, I guess.”
You watch the Adam’s apple in his throat bob up and down as he gulps nervously. You bite your lip to keep the smile from spreading too widely across your face.
“I’m sorry,” he says. “I do want to show you off. I really do. I just truly don’t want you to get in trouble. The university has a very strict policy about this kind of stuff, even if it is consensual. And more than that, I want to be able to provide for you if I ever get the chance to. I know it’s crazy to think this far in the future since we’ve only been seeing each other for a few months, but…like I said out there. Y/N, I’ve never loved anyone as much as I’ve love you, baby.”
His hand reaches up to cup your cheek and you lean into his touch.
“I just wanna make everything good for you. Like I told you before, this won’t be easy, but I’ll take care of you. And maybe…maybe we can head up to my parent’s house this weekend. They’re hosting a dinner with some of their old friends and they invited me. I wasn’t gonna go so that I could stay here and spend time with you, but maybe I can bring you along.”
A huge smile spreads across your face. You raise yourself up on your tip-toes to press a chaste kiss to his lips. He kisses you back and you can feel the corners of his mouth curl up into a smile. When you pull back, you nudge his nose with yours.
“I love you, too. And I would love to go.”
“Alright. Let’s do it. But in the meantime, let’s get you inside before you freeze to death,” he says, wrapping his arms around you and guiding you toward the corner of the sidewalk. “I like you wet but not like this.”

AEW Has a Problem
Everything that I type here is all in my opinion and it's something I didn't want to discuss at first but feel like it's time to say it. AEW has a problem and that problem is CM Punk.
How did this problem start, you ask? Go back to the post-media event of "All Out 2022" where just minutes after regaining the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, CM Punk lashed out at the media instead of talking about his reaction to the return of MJF (aka Maxwell Jacob Friedman) from earlier that day.
His words caused a backstage brawl that resulted into suspensions of himself and all around him including Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Kenny Omega, Brandon Cutler, Michael Nakazawa, etc. Also, due to that brawl, both the AEW World Heavyweight Championship and the AEW Trios Championship were vacated.
The Trios title ended up being help by PAC, Rey Fenix, and Pentagon until January 2023 while the AEW World Heavyweight Championship would be returned to Jon Moxley who regained the title and held onto it until November where he lost in what many can considered controversial fashion to Max Friedman.
Many people including myself were under the impression that a deal was reached where CM Punk would be let go by the company for his actions. Not the case as we learned that this Saturday (June 17, 2023) a new AEW show will premiere called "AEW Collision" and the show will heavily involve CM Punk.
Now...how did people react to his imminent return. Not very good. From everything I heard and read, the reaction was very negative with boos almost all over arenas and on social media. AEW tried to cover it up by finding those who'll cheer his return. It didn't work. Worse than that...the announcement of his return caused slow ticket sales so what happens next...let's announce his return match.
CM Punk, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler vs. Jay White, Juice Robinson, and Samoa Joe. If you're a Jay White fan, you'd be like "yay, Jay's on AEW Collision" in an exciting way but when you read he has to face Punk in 6-man tag action you like "yay, Jay's on AEW Collision" but your excitement meter goes down.
To make matter worse for AEW, they aired a VTR of Punk last night on AEW Dynamite that got the crowd booing even more. And from the people I follow on social media, all were furious that AEW keeps on showing Punk. Some even ask "why has he not been punished yet for his actions" "why is he getting awarded when everyone got punished"
These questions I cannot answer but I can say that AEW has a problem (CM Punk). They've tried almost everything to cover up the problem and instead have made it worse. And now...I read something in which this problem AEW has with Punk is so bad, I don't know how they're going to solve it at this point. That something...an interview that apparently and/or reportedly went out of control. Read some details on it and...it's not good.
The last time I watched AEW was the week before "All Out 2022" in which I was starting to question Punk's booking at the time but was somewhat proud to see Kenny Omega back in the ring. Haven't watched AEW since then and until they release CM Punk, have no intention to watch AEW again though there'll be times I'll watch certain highlights but not a full show.
One more thing I've been reading since they've been announcing his return was a proposed match against KENTA at "Forbidden Door 2023" taking place June 25th in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. From what I read, many are thrilled about the proposed match because this could solve the one issue many have, who really owns the "GTS'. Instead, I read that Punk was "not interested". Reading that really boils me up because how in the world can you not be interested in facing a former GHC Heavyweight Champion, a 3-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, a 3-time GHC Junior Tag Team Champion, a former GHC Tag Team Champion, a former Global League winner, a former IWGP United States Champion, a former NEVER Openweight Champion, and a 2-time (and reigning) Strong Openweight Champion. Why in the world do you say "not interested" to someone is regarded by many to be the best the world has to offer. Read KENTA's response to the proposed match and...it's a interesting one because he'll only do it if it requires the money provided but if Punk is saying "not interested" then why bother.
Again, AEW has a problem that they've yet to solve and based on all I've read, based on all I've heard, and based on almost everything I've said here...are not even going to attempt to solve the problem and it's a shame that this is happening. None of this would have happened if they had just fired Punk. Instead, look where we're at right now. This (AEW Collision with Punk) is going to blow up in their face.
With that...done talking about Punk here. Again, everything I just typed right here on my Pro Wrestling Express is all in my opinion. Feel free to comment on your opinion in this ongoing problem that AEW has no attempt to solve at this time.

Lance is on the Philly card for the NJPW show! Full release:
We are just over one month away from our return to Washington DC for Capital Collision, and Collision in Philadelphia the very next night. Appropriately for the seat of US government in DC, Los Ingobernables De Japon will be making their presence felt at Capital Collision, and in Philadelphia too!
Current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito and SANADA will be a part of both DC and Philadelphia events. For Naito and SANADA, this makes their first trips to the United States since 2019, and all three LIJ members are sure to make a mark.
Also at both events will be El Desperado. Having been a force in 2022 at STRONG’s High Alert, Music City Mayhem and Forbidden Door, El Desperado is now back in the US and representing Strong Style. What does one third of the current NEVER Openweight 6 Man Tag team Champions have up his sleeve?
In Philadelphia is El Desperado’s former Suzuki-Gun brother in Lance Archer. Making his first appearance in an NJPW ring since World Tag League, the Murderhawk Monster will be showing that even in the home of immortal hardcore legends in Philly, ‘everybody dies’.
With plenty more huge stars set for both events, you have to be a part of the action this April!
Capital Collision/ Collision in Philadelphia confirmed lineup to date:
IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada (April 15 Capital Collision only)
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi
STRONG Openweight Champion KENTA
Tetsuya Naito
SANADA
Will Ospreay
Tomohiro Ishii
Hiroshi Tanahashi
El Desperado
Lance Archer (April 16 Collision in Philadelphia only)

There and Back Again - Part 3
Many, many thanks to @skyfall8600 whose excellent Sucked In series not only inspired this one, but brought me out of a years-long writing slump! The first few parts of this series are heavily inspired by her work, while diverging more significantly later on. Regardless, I wholeheartedly recommend her work, and thank her for allowing me to use a few of her excellent ideas!
series warnings: swearing, misogyny, canon-typical violence, fluff, insecurity; sfw but gets a little ~steamy~ in a couple places
part three warnings: swearing, misogyny, canon-typical violence
Tumblr media
By the time Steve’s shift ended at 3:00, both of you were exhausted. Hours had passed since you entered the store, and you had spent the time dictating a carefully-edited version of season four’s events to Steve.
“Maybe Dustin will actually understand some of this stuff,” Steve said, sighing and rubbing his eyes as you stood and stretched. “It’s time to go pick him and Robin up, anyway.” He grabbed his keys, heading for the door. “So, 2022, huh? What’s that like?” he asked as you climbed into his old BMW. “Or is that, you know, forbidden knowledge?”
You smiled at him as you fastened your seatbelt, amazed at how natural it felt to be making small talk with Steve Harrington, of all people. Of all characters? You shook yourself gently, banishing the stray thought before answering his question.
“I think that’s safe enough. 2022 is…interesting. Obviously technology has come a long way,” you said, tugging skeptically at the flimsy seatbelt. “Computers are much more widespread, and they can do a lot more. McDonald’s uses vegetable oil instead of beef tallow now. Um, Donald Trump was briefly the president,” you said, wrinkling your nose in disgust. Steve snorted loudly as he drove through the quiet streets, clearly unimpressed. “I’m not sure what else you want me to say,” you finished, shrugging your shoulders.
Steve nodded, considering. “Guess I better let Robin finally show me how to use the store computer,” he said, looking resigned. “Sounds like I’ll need it.”
The rest of the drive to the high school passed in companionable silence, and you gazed out the window, watching Hawkins, Indiana pass by.
Five minutes later, Steve turned into the parking lot of his alma mater, pulling up to the curb and beeping the horn twice before turning off the ignition. He knew his friends would take forever, despite his oft-repeated pleas for them to have pity on their chauffeur.
You got out of the car and stretched, feeling the many aches in your body from a night spent on the forest floor. Shading your eyes from the afternoon sun, you leaned against the car and looked around for the familiar faces of Dustin and Robin, your stomach buzzing with excitement at the prospect of actually meeting them.
It was on your second sweep of the outgoing crowd of students that you saw him. Him, all dark hair and silver jewelry. Oh, fuck.
Eddie Munson walked past the cheerleaders and the student council kids with the confident swagger of a proud outcast, his long hair swaying with every step. Your breath caught, and you couldn’t help but stare. God, he was handsome.
To your horror, he looked directly at you, your staring not having gone unnoticed. You blushed, embarrassed, certain he would think you were making fun of him like nearly every other Hawkins student. To your surprise, he didn’t seem fazed. In fact, he gave you a sly smile and lazy salute before walking to his van, whistling a riff from Black Sabbath as he went.
Your face went red, ridiculously wondering what he thought of you.
You looked down at yourself and realized that you and Eddie were the only two people wearing leather jackets and ripped jeans. In 2022, it was perfectly ordinary wear; in 1986, it was heavy metal. And for that, you got given a small gesture of camaraderie.
Smiling to yourself at your small moment of connection, you didn’t notice the approach of another boy. You were just turning to open the door of Steve’s car, planning to wait with him for Dustin and Robin, when a powerful hand landed on the cold metal, keeping the door firmly closed.
“Well hello there,” Jason Carver said, flashing his perfect white teeth at you. Your stomach dropped in fear; you couldn’t help but look past him to where Eddie now stood near the back of his van, watching you and Jason closely. “You must be new.”
“Yes, I am, but um—I need to go,” you said quickly, attempting to wrench the door open despite his greater strength. It didn’t budge. “Please let go,” you said, a little louder. Jason’s smile grew as he realized you couldn’t overpower him. He held all the cards.
 “My name’s Jason,” he said, almost lazily. “Let me show you around town tonight. I promise it’ll be a better time than you’ll get with these freaks,” he said, gesturing to Steve, Dustin, and Robin, who had come out while Jason had you cornered.
“No.” you said quickly, stomach twisting with anxiety. He was standing way too close for comfort now. “Get off the car,” you tried to shout. It came out more like a whimper.
Suddenly, he moved to grab your shoulder.
Pure panic started rising in you as you remembered what this man was capable of—he had tried to kill Eddie, to kill Lucas, had threatened even Nancy with a gun. Or at least, he would soon. You thought about all the stories you had heard of girls going missing in the eighties, being pressured into dates and disappearing for good. Rage built inside you, giving focus to the adrenaline of fear that pumped through you.
You didn’t plan to do it; your muscles moved of their own accord, borne on the tide of anger and fear that had overtaken you. Fast as lightning, you brought your knee up hard—right into Jason Carver’s groin.
The athlete doubled over in pain and shock, finally letting go of the car and stumbling in his agony. Immediately, you opened the car door and slipped inside with the others, Steve locking the doors behind you.
“You fucking bitch!” Jason yelled, regaining his breath after a long moment. “You’ll regret that, I swear to God.” Your feeling of triumph ebbed, replaced by pure fear. What did I just do?
“Steve, please drive,” you said quietly, snapping him out of his shocked reverie. He floored the gas, pulling away from the high school like a man on the run.
As you watched Hawkins High disappear through the back windshield, you caught a glimpse of Eddie, laughing his ass off with disbelief and appreciation at the scene he had just witnessed. You felt a warm tingle of pride in your chest at the sight. Maybe that wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
*             *             *
 Convincing the others took hours, but eventually, you managed it. With Steve’s insistent support, as well as your detailed knowledge of the show, you finally got all of the remaining Hawkins gang to believe you.
You sat in an old beanbag chair in the Wheelers’ basement, exhausted from all your explanations. Steve, Robin, Nancy, Mike, Lucas, and Max sat on couches around you, while Dustin paced up and down, unable to sit still.
“So in your world,” he said slowly, thinking hard. “If this is all a TV show, then all of us,” he circled a finger at the couch-sitters, “are played by actors?” You nodded, unsure where this was going. “So, do they look different from us, or not? Because if they are different, maybe someone just looked into our world and decided it made a good story, then—”
“No,” you said quickly, shaking your head. “It’s a good idea, but…no. You all look exactly the same as on TV.” Dustin frowned, clearly stumped.
“Who on earth would want to play us on TV?” Steve asked, bemused. “A gang of nerds and a babysitter?”
You gave him a tight-lipped smile.
“I can tell you, if you like,” you said, moving to stand in the center of the group.
“Joe Keery,” you said, pointing at Steve, then moved your finger down the line with each name. “Maya Hawke, Natalia Dyer, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink,” you slowly turned to face Dustin, who had stopped pacing behind you. “And Gaten Matarazzo.”
“Wait, so we’re not even related?” Mike asked, gesturing to Nancy beside him, who shifted uncomfortably.
“Nope,” you said quickly, unsure how this would affect them. “You just play siblings. Although,” you said, remembering, “Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton—um, Jonathan—are together in real—” You stopped yourself, chagrined. “Well, in what I used to think of as real life.”
Nancy blushed, a small smile gracing her face. Steve let out a quiet huff and turned away, running his hand through his hair. Your heart gave a sympathetic twinge. You knew what it was like to want someone you could never have.
You thought of Eddie’s disbelieving laughter, and your own cheeks reddened, your eyes closing as you remembered all the fics you had read about him—and what the season finale held in store.
I will save him, you promised yourself silently. Whatever it takes.
The group was quiet for a few moments, trying to absorb the bizarre nature of the situation. Finally, Robin broke the silence.
“Alright. So, Y/N, thanks to you, we have a heads-up on all the shit that’s about to happen,” she said, gesturing to the notes spread all over the basement floor.
You took a deep breath and nodded, preparing yourself for another barrage of questions.
Robin spread her hands wide, looking around the group.
“So, what’s our next move?”
You chewed your lip, unsure how to respond.
“I don’t know,” you said honestly, a troubled look coming into your eyes. “I know what happens, and there are defenses we can set up, but…” You trailed off, rubbing your eyes in exhaustion.
“Let’s think this through logically,” said Nancy, gathering the scattered papers into a neat stack. “When does everything start?”
“Right before Spring Break,” you said, recalling the opening scenes of the fourth season.
“That gives us…a month from today,” Dustin said, recalling the date of his impending vacation.
“A month?” You said, surprised. “I mean, it’s not much, but…it’s a lot more than I thought we had.” You bit your tongue in concentration, trying desperately to think of a plan. You were just so tired…
“Well, if we have a month, let’s sleep on it,” said Steve, standing and tugging the wrinkles from his shirt. “We’ve all had a lot to process today—you especially, Y/N—and it’ll do us all good to get some normalcy and rest.” Looking at his watch, he shook his head. “Plus, you three,” he said, pointing at Dustin, Mike, and Lucas, “are gonna be late for Hellfire.”
Dustin cursed, quickly gathering up his backpack, Mike close behind him. Lucas held up his hands, trying to stop them.
“Whoa whoa whoa,” he said, shaking his head. “We just found out there’s another world, and that our lives are a TV show, and you still want to go to Hellfire?! Don’t we have more important things to do right now?” he asked, incredulous.
Mike sighed. Though the reasoning was new, this was clearly an old argument.
“Just admit you wanna quit Hellfire, man,” he said, slinging his bag over his shoulder. “We all know you’d rather hang with the popular kids.”
Lucas made as if to argue, but Dustin quickly cut him off.
“If we don’t go to Hellfire, Eddie will get suspicious,” he said calmly. “We have to maintain at least the appearance of normalcy until shit really starts to go down.”
Lucas nodded reluctantly, getting up to follow his friends. Suddenly, Dustin turned to you, a grin breaking across his face.
“Hey Y/N, you wanna come?” he asked brightly. “Our DM’s a little crazy, but he’s the best there is.”
“Oh,” you said, blushing crimson. “Are you sure no one would mind? Even your crazy DM?”
“Nah, ‘course not!” Dustin said, beaming at you. “Anyone who knees Jason Carver in the balls is fine by him. His name’s Eddie,” he said, offering you a hand.
“She knows who Eddie is, dingus,” said Robin, placing her hands on your shoulders conspiratorially. “She’s blushed every time you’ve said his name, and I caught her staring at him when left school. In fact,” she said, holding you at arm’s length, her eyes searching. “I’d wager that Eddie is her favorite character.”
You blushed even deeper at Robin’s words, dropping your eyes to the floor. Robin laughed, patting you on the back. “I knew it!” she shouted, a triumphant gleam in her eye.
“Can we please just go?” you begged, looking to Steve for mercy. He stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at his coworker.
“Shove it, Robin,” he said, clearly used to her antics as he motioned you forward. “The lady’s interests are her own business.” He stepped closer to Robin, dropping his voice to a whisper. “You’re telling me you wouldn’t jump at the chance to meet Sarah Connor in real life?” he asked, tugging at his hair.
Robin looked unabashed.
“I’m just calling it like I see it, I never said there was anything wrong with it. Go get ‘im, Y/N!” she shouted as you rolled your eyes and went up the stairs, Steve and Dustin following behind.
This was going to be an interesting evening.

When I was in my twenties and thirties and went to a lot of concerts when I would get home and go to sleep I would dream about the concert again and kind of relive it which was one of the best parts.
That pay-per-view last night was so good I went to sleep and dreamed about it and that is the first time that has ever happened for a non live event.
I dreamed about it all night long.
Tumblr media
I did not realize you were in Chicago. One of my best friends in the entire world lives there and if I ever make it out there again which I definitely hope to in the next few years I would love to buy you a cup of coffee.

Cool things about working in a library
First pick at every piece of media that comes in
Free admission to every event hosted there (if you work that night or reduced prices if you don't)
Almost everyone is friendly! After all they come to you to have a good time.
Children/Teens who get their library card and are floored by the amount of media there is waiting for them.
Going places other people are not allowed in. Office rooms are usually boring as hell, but the envy on a kids face when you go through the forbidden door is priceless
Keeping little extras delivered with the media (like stickers, posters trinkets from magazines)
Spending obscene amounts of money in the name of the people. Once I was sent to the nearest electronic store with the equivalent of a 1000€ cheque and my only objective was to buy whatever games I thought would do well.
Of course you can't read at work, but you get to touch and hold (and read the back of) books a lot and that's neat
please feel free to add your own

One of the things I find beautiful about thos is that no algorithm in the world could have predicted that the new hot shit on tumblr dot com this year would be a 125 yo book.
We did that. Dracula Daily is trending for days because of the users.
We are Tumblrs algorithm.

Man, this whole week has been a TRIP.
I don’t leave Vegas til tomorrow but the wrestling part is over. I’ve been very fortunate to have now seen several AEW events live. This is due to having little to no social life, as I’m a Single Childless Millennial who works a lot of overtime in order to afford these excursions.
I have attended:
All In (2018)
Double or Nothing (2019)
All Out (2019)
Revolution (2020)
Double or Nothing (2021)
All Out (2021)
Double or Nothing (2022)
8 Dynamites (some of which were also Rampage tapings) and 3 separate Rampages.
I have tickets for the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door show next month.
I’ve had a ton of really neat experiences during this time. But getting to meet Orange and have him sign that card and ALSO getting to meet Chuck and Trent might be number 1 for me.
The whole interaction was so fucking funny. I won’t go into every detail here, but if people wanna know, I will gladly tell the story.

Best of the Super Jr. final preview
Tumblr media
Hiromu Takahashi vs. El Desperado - This is the final of the Best of the Super Jr. tournament, pitting the winner of A Block (Hiromu) against the winner of B Block (Despy). There is no time limit, and there must be a winner. The winner will receive a trophy and will presumably challenge to the IWGP junior heavyweight champion, Taiji Ishimori, at the Dominion show on June 12. Despy has never won BOSJ; Hiromu is seeking his third consecutive trophy and fourth overall.
Both Hiromu and Despy finished with 12 points (6 wins, 3 losses) in their blocks. Heading into the May 31 show, each of them was two points behind first place, and then they each beat the guy in first place to create a tie and win the tiebreaker all at once. (This is a pretty common trope in these round-robin tournaments.) Notably, Takahashi beat Ishimori, which should put him in title contention whether he wins this match or not.
Since Takahashi returned from excursion in 2016, these two have fought six times, and Despy currently leads the series 3-2-1. Arguably their most important clash was the 30-minute war in the 2020 BOSJ final, which Hiromu won. When they met again in the 2021 tournament, the fought to a draw. In Janaury 2022 they faced off in the Tokyo Dome, in what I expected to be a cake walk for Hiromu, but Despy came out on top. So despite being the ace of the junior division and a three-time BOSJ winner, Hiromu needs to prove he can still beat this guy.
My gut feeling is that it's Hiromu's time to shine and regain the junior title. But I thought that would happen in January and it just didn't. Maybe they were saving it for now, or maybe they just want to push Desperado on top all year. If the goal is to establish Despy as a top junior, then they've done a great job. I didn't give him any chance of winning the 2020 BOSJ final, and then I didn't expect his epic performance in that match to lead to anything. But now I genuinely think this rematch could go either way
Kazuchika Okada & Tama Tonga & Toru Yano & Jado vs. Jay White & Doc Gallows & Taiji Ishimori & Gedo - Okada vs. White is the main event for the June 12 show. Also set for June 12 is Tonga vs. Karl Anderson, who was booked for this show (and probably this match) but had to withdraw due to COVID-19. Ishimori is waiting to find out who wins in tonight's main event. Jado and Gedo used to be thick as thieves before Jado got kicked out of Bullet Club, so it'll never be over between them.
It's worth keeping an eye on Gallows. If Anderson is unable to make the June 12 show, his tag partner is the obvious choice to replace him. And if you want to set that up, having Gallows pin Tama here would be a simple way to do it. Otherwise, I don't think anybody else in this match needs to score a pin. So I'm going with the Bullet Club team to win.
Tetsuya Naito & Shingo Takagi & BUSHI vs. Taichi & DOUKI & TAKA Michinoku - Most of these guys aren't doing anything, but Takagi and Taichi will meet on June 12 for Takagi's KOPW 2022 trophy. The lack of direction for Naito is particularly curious, but I suppose they could run an angle here to give him a match on Dominion. Taichi, Naito, and Shingo shouldn't get pinned here, but everybody else can, which means either side could easily win. Flip a coin on this one.
Bad Luck Fale & Chase Owens & El Phantasmo vs. Jeff Cobb & Great-O-Khan & Aaron Henare - This is a preview of Fale & Owens vs. Cobb & Khan on June 12. Cobb and Khan did a run-in on an AEW show last week, so it looks like they're already slotted for a program at Forbidden Door. Kinda thinking they should win all their matches until then, but you never know.
EVIL & SHO vs. Zack Sabre Jr. & Yoshinobu Kanemaru - During the BOSJ tournament, Kanemaru scored an upset on Sho that mathematically eliminated Sho from winning the block. So I guess the House of Torture wants revenge. I doubt this will set up a sustained Suzuki-gun/House of Torture feud, but I guess I wouldn't mind if they did. I'm thinking Sabre submits Sho for the win.
Juice Robinson vs. Tomoaki Honma - Robinson's IWGP United States title is not at stake. Honma's a fun dude but he's not exactly a top contender. It's a little unusual for New Japan to book a champion in a non-title match with no build against a tomato can. I assume there's a reason this is happening, but I can't imagine what it is. Maybe Robinson's just going to abuse Honma to establish his new heel persona in Bullet Club, so that someone can make the save and demand a title shot for June 12. Or...I guess Honma could just score an upset and issue that challenge himself. But if you're betting on Honma to win, you're gonna have a bad time.
Ryusuke Taguchi & Master Wato vs. TJP & Francesco Akira - Taguchi and Wato are the IWGP junior heavyweight tag team champions, but the title is not on the line in this match. In this case I assume they didn't make this a title match because all four guys just got done with a long tournament, although to me that's still a level playing field. During BOSJ, Taguchi won his match against Akira, but Wato lost his match to TJP. There's really nothing else happening in the junior tag division, so I'm in favor of TJP and Akira winning to set up an inevitable rematch for the belts.
YOH & Robbie Eagles & Clark Connors & Titan vs. Wheeler YUTA & Ace Austin & Alex Zayne & El Lindaman - Yoh, Eagles, and Connors are all New Japan guys; Titan is from CMLL, which has a close alliance with NJPW. The other side is all outsiders, so it's sort of an us vs. them kind of match. Yuta, Austin, and Lindaman all hold championships, so if any of them lose the fall I'd like to think it's to set up an interpromotional title bout, but I shouldn't count on things like that. Best guess is Zayne or Titan will lose.

New Horror 2022 - Day 4
Tumblr media
"The Door" by Ann R. Loverock (2020) "It looked the same as it had in the winter: standing alone, unfixed to the landscape."
I love this one for that particular short fiction quality of just getting started immediately and then cutting off the story before a traditional ending. It’s creepy and the implication of these events in this environment calls back to that ancient fear of forbidden knowledge or advancement. We want it but there is a price to be paid. (Also, colonialism.)
===
Tumblr media
"Rainbow Sprinkles" by W. Maxwell Prince, Chris O’Halloran, Martín Morazzo, Nimit Malavia (2018) "Arizona like in the movies of our dreams"
My first reaction was this isn’t horror (particularly after a more straightforward horror story in the first issue), but I think this is going to happen many times throughout the month. I’ve made the effort to seek out a more expansive range of voices and backgrounds in my horror selections and it’s going to require a broader acceptance of horror as a genre and medium for storytellers. All that said, this second issue of Ice Cream Man is more tragic and real, and horror fiction is, after all, a reflection of the horrors we face as real people.

Tumblr media
The Skin I Live In dir. Pedro Almodóvar (2011) "The things that a madman's love can do."
First: I thought I’d watched a Almodóvar movie before but apparently I hadn’t watched a one before this. Second: my cynical side thinks any male director with power will absolutely leverage it to make an attractive woman be naked a lot in his movie and linger on it. Third: I am a very uptight American. Fourth: holy shit.

Final Match Card for "Forbidden Door 2023"
Just hours after posting this and after the events of "AEW Collision" we have our full match card for the AEWxNJPW that is "The Forbidden Door"
Tumblr media
There will be a total of 14 matches (4 of them on the preshow) tying Pro Wrestling NOAH's Majestic 2023 event at 14 matches. As far as I know, DDT's Judgement 2023 which took place back in March is still the biggest event of the year having 15 main card matches on their show.
At the Zero Hour of "Forbidden Door 2023" we will have four matches:
Stu Grayson vs. El Phantasmo
Swerve Strickland, Toa Liona, and Bishop Kaun vs. Rocky Romero, Trent Beretta, and El Desperado
Jeff Cobb, Kyle Fletcher, and TJP vs. Shingo Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi, and BUSHI
Women's Owen Hart Cup 2023 Round 1: Athena vs. Billie Starkz
After those four matches are done, we go to the main card where there will be 10 matches that'll open up with Hiroshi Tanahashi challenging MJF for the AEW World Championship. And in my opinion, glad this match is happening because as of typing, MJF is in danger of not making the 2022-23 PWI 500. From my understanding, you need to compete in at least 14 matches in the previous year to be on the list. MJF has only competed in 10. Competing at "Forbidden Door 2023" against Tanahashi could help him reach a ranking. Same thing when teaming up with Adam Cole in the Blind Tag Tournament.
After that, we'll find out which match will go second and beyond based on two things: A VTR and/or an entrance theme song being played. With that said here are the final nine matches taking place after the AEW Championship in no particular order.
Special Singles Match: Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada
IWGP United States Championship: Will Ospreay (Challenger) vs. Kenny Omega (Champion)
IWGP World Heavyweight Championship: "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry (Challenger) vs. SANADA (Champion)
AEW Women's Championship: Willow Nightingale (NJPW Strong Women's Champion/Challenger) vs. Toni Storm (Champion)
Men's Owen Hart Cup 2023 Round 1: CM Punk vs. Satoshi Kojima
AEW International Championship Match 4-Way: Daniel Garcia (Challenger #1) vs. Zack Sabre Jr. (NJPW World TV Champion/Challenger #2) vs. Katsuyori Shibata (ROH Pure Champin/Challenger #3) vs. Orange Cassidy (Champion)
Special 10-Man Tag: Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Adam Page, Eddie Kingston, and Tomohiro Ishii vs. Claudio Castanogli, Jon Moxley, Shota Umino, Wheeler Yuta, and Konosuke Takeshita
Special Singles Match: Adam Cole vs. "Filthy" Tom Lawlor
Special 6-Man Tag: Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, and Minoru Suzuki vs. Sting, Darby Allin, and Tetsuya Naito
"Forbidden Door 2023" comes tomorrow (June 25th) from Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Scotiabank Arena LIVE on PPV Worldwide. The event will start with the pre-show (aka Zero Hour) at 7 PM Eastern/6 PM Central/4 PM Pacific with the main card starting at 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central/5 PM Pacific.
In Japan, the event will start Monday June 26th at 8 AM Local Time for the preshow, 9 AM Local time for the main card.
