#hahaha.... insane hour right now..... ahaha.....

can't stop thinking about how soft aki treats you in bed. he's so gentle and careful, he asks before he does anything — can I take this off? or can I touch you here? — he makes you feel so safe when you're with him, so comfortable and so loved. making love with him is earnest and sweet and passionate, it's deep and slow; he leaves kisses on every inch of your skin he can reach, he presses his forehead to yours and laces his and your fingers together and holds onto you tight.
aki isn't used to feeling so vulnerable. he tears up every time, you run your fingers through his hair and he's crying but you're the best thing he's ever felt and he doesn't want to stop, not until he's made you feel good too; he buries his face in the nape of your neck and tells you he loves you. he holds out so he can finish alongside you, every time you gasp his name his heart beats harder and his body feels warmer and warmer. god, he's so in love with you, he'd give his life to make you happy and he wouldn't even think twice — aki chants soft little I love you's into your ear with a shaky voice and holds you like he never wants to let go.
#he'd be terrified the first time he does it with you because he doesn't want to hurt you#he's shaking and breathing hard and he asks you if you're okay so many times you have to tell him to stop worrying so much#I think aki makes you feel really good about yourself#he tells you how beautiful you are#he shows you how much you mean to him with his careful and patient touches#hahaha.... insane hour right now..... ahaha.....#I need him to make me feel better... to treat me so softly.....#ehehee.... aa..... a. a....#slowly losing it#aki <3#aki hayakawa x reader#aki x reader

Tickle Monsters
I know it’s not cannon but lets just imagine it is ok! Lets just day Tony survived Endgame.
Peter had just grabbed a can of soda from the fridge, It’s been a long day at school and now he had a whole nights worth of homework to do. He sighed as he sat down on the sofa of the Stark industries before pulling out a textbook from his backpack.
Just as Peter was starting to get in the zone he heard small footsteps running towards him.
“Uncle Peter!” A small voice called out it was Morgan. Morgan jumped up onto Peter’s lap making Peter set the book aside. .
“Hey Morgs,” Peter said with his best fake smile.
“What’r you doing?” Morgan asked.
“Homework, so I don’t really have time to play right now...” Peter said picking up the book from the floor.
“Oh...” Morgan said with disappointment.
Peter hated it when she was upset, but he had to get this done.
About an hour has past now, Peter closed the book rubbing his eyes to get rid of the remaining fuzz from reading fo so long.
“Maybe he should take a break? No, no he couldn’t!
Peter was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard happy squeals and giggles along with small footsteps once again.
“UNCLE PETER!” Peter heard Morgan screech cheerfully. Little Morgan dashed from around the corner with Stark’s Ironman helmet on her head.
“Uncle Peter I’ms not here M’K?” Morgan said before hiding behind the couch. Peter chuckled rolling his eyes. He could at least play long, after all he turned her down earlier. Peter took a sip of his now still soda when Stark came running in.
“Pete where is she?” Tony asked with a playful smile plastered on his face.
Peter cleared his throat.
“Who?” Peter asked trying to play along with Morgan’s game.
“Morgan, that little monkey stole my helmet again.” Stark explained.
“A hero NEVER shares another hero’s secrets Mr Stark, you out of anyone should know that!” Peter joked crossing hims arms. A small giggle could be heard from behind Peter.
Tony eyed Peter who just did an overdramatic shrug. Tony then very slowly and quietly walked over to the couch. Tony roared picking up his giggling daughter.
“I’ve got you now haha!” Tony yelled playfully before gently placing her on the ground in-front of the couch taking his helmet back putting it to the side before he attacked his daughter with tickles all over her little tummy.
“Kyahahaha! Dahahaddyhyhyhyhy! Nohohohohoho!” Morgan screeched squirming around under her dad. Peter smiled at the sight in front of him.
“Who’s daddy? I’m the tickle monster!” Tony roared continuing his tickle attack.
Peter rolled his eyes with a smile as he pulled out his math homework.
Tony chuckled before putting his finger on Morgan’s bottom rib and began counting.
“One” tickle “Two” Tickle “Three tickle... Morgan screeched each time Tony’s fingers made contact with her ribs.
“Eleven aaaaand Twelve!” Looks like you’ve got all your ribs kiddo! Tony joked.
Tony stopped tickling his daughter as he didn’t want to push it too far.
Morgan then looked over at Peter who had his earbuds in. Morgan then suddenly ran over to Peter
“Attaaaack!” Morgan called out catching Peter by surprise jumping on the young hero. Morgan then latched her hands to Peter’s sides.
“H-Hehey! Morgahan! d-don’t put your hahands there kiddo!.” Peter warned taking his earbuds out and gently grabbing her hands. Morgan giggled taking her hands back attacking Peter’s sides again.
“Why?” Morgan asked happily.
“Ah! Ihihit tihickles!” Peter giggled beginning to squirm hearing Tony chuckle in the background. Peter could easily get away but he was actually kinda having fun, he guessed it wound be ok to take a little break. Peter then picked up Morgan.
“Heh, ohoh man aren’t you a little tickle monster!” Peter joked as he laid her down on the couch next to him before lightly tickling Morgan’s sides
“EEEH! Uhuncle Peter! ehehehe!” Morgan laughed grabbing at the older’s hands.
“Now I’m the tickle monster!” Peter claimed before lightly poking all around Morgan’s tummy.
“Hahaha! Dahahahddyhyhy! Hehehelp!” Morgan squealed kicking her legs out.
Peter looked over to where Stark was sitting to find he was no longer there. He must have slipped away when Peter wasn’t looking. He looked around nervously trying to locate his mentor.
Stark then jumped out from behind the couch with a roar before grabbing Peter around his chest digging his finger into the teen’s lower rib.
“Ah! MR STARK! Nohohoho fahahahair!” Peter giggled, curling in on himself as best he could.
“All’s fair for the Tickle monster!” Tony replied digging in to Peter’s flank.
Mr Stahahahahak! Nohoho!” Peter giggled as he reached his tummy.
“Uh oh! Here comes another tickle monster! Stark said watching Morgan crawl over to Peter. Tony then grabbed Peter’s wrists pinning them against the back of the couch with one hand.
“Get him here Morgan!” Tony exclaimed as he wiggled his fingers in Peter’s underarm.
“AH! HAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOHOHO AHAHAHA HEHEHEHEHEEHEE!” Peter cackled kicking his legs and shaking his head. His hoodie doing nothing to protect him.
“Attack!” Tony yelled digging into Peter’s insanely ticklish underarms.
“NAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHO AHAHAHAHAHA! PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE! AHAHAHA. HEHEHEEHHEEHHE!” Peter laughed loudly and freely which he hasn’t done in a long time. He can’t stand his underarms being tickled.
“Get him Morgan!” Tony yelled playfully. Morgan did just that poking and tickling all over Peter’s torso.
“M-Mohohohorgahahan! St-Stahahahhaahahap! Guys! Lehet me gohoho!” Peter giggled and screeched.
Tony then let go of Peter’s arms to get his sides but Peter took that opportunity and jumped off the couch and started making a break for his bedroom.
“He’s getting away Morgs!” Tony exclaimed chasing after the teen.
Peter had just made it into his room before Stark jumped on him pinning him to the bed.
“No one messes with my girl!” Tony announced before poking all around Peter’s stomach and ribs.
“AH! Mr Stahahahahahark! Nohohohoho! Wahahahahahait!” Peter laughed wriggling around.
“Yay! Get him daddy!” Morgan cheered from in front of the bed.
“Hahaha! You are no match for us Spiderman!” Tony exclaimed as he skitters his fingers up and down Peter’s sides causing the teen to squeak at every touch.
“Plehehehehease! Mr Stark! Ihit tickles!” Peter squealed pushing at Tony’s hands.
Morgan was just giggling along with Peter.
“Aw look at that Morgs, Spiderman is even more ticklish then you are!” Tony teased wriggling a single finger into Peter’s ribs.
“AH! nohohohohohoho!” Peter laughed out.
“No? I can tell you that theory is false!.” Tony teased before drilling his thumbs into Peter’s ribs.
“AHAHAHAHAHA! PLEHEHEHEHEASE! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! STOHOHOHOP HAHAHAHA!” Peter cackled throwing his head back twisting and turning.
“You wanna get him Morgs?” Tony asked pinning Peter’s legs down at the knees. Morgan squealed with excitement before wiggling Peter’s toes.
“ahaha! dohon’t doho thahat!”
Peter giggled.
.
Morgan did just that and start scribbling her small fingers all over the ball of Peter’s foot.
“Kyahahahahaha! No! plehehehehease Not there!” Peter giggled and squeaked trying his hardest get his legs free.
“That a girl Morgan! Get him!” Tony cheered on.
“Nohohoho Mohohohorgahahahahan!” Peter laughed covering his face with his hands.
Something about Morgan’s little hands made the sensation worse!
“Keep going Morgan! We gotta beat Spiderman!” Tony called out over Peter’s laughter. Peter then sat up grabbing onto Stark’s shoulders only to have Stark skitter his fingers on either side of his tummy.
“Aah! MR STARK! Nohoho ehehehehehe!” Peter squeaked before falling onto his back once again.
“
“No! nononono AHAHAHAHA!” Peter laughed as Tony’s fingers dug into his navel.
Morgan was just giggling along with Peter.
“Hey Morgan watch this!”
Tony exlaimed lifting up Peter’s hoodie before grabbing his side and blowing a big raspberry on Peter’s now bare stomach. Peter exploded with ticklish laughter.
“AHAHAHAHAHA MR STAHAHAHAHAHARK!!” Peter yelled tossing his had back and forth twisting his body every which way. Morgan came running over to the side of the bed to see what was going on.
Tony lifted his head not letting go of Peter. Peter laid there gasping for air still giggling as the feeling went away.
Peter could hear Morgan laughing next to him.
“Again!” Morgan yelled. Peter’s eyes went wide and looking up at Mr Stark.
“Nononononono MR STAHAHAHAHAHAHARK! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Peter cackled throwing his head back. Peter started pushing at Tony’s head though it did nothing to lesson the feeling.
Peter didn’t know if it was his reaction or the sound that was making Morgan laugh so hard but what he did know is that it tickled like hell!
“Thahahat was awfuhull...” Peter panted laying on the his bed still under Tony.
“Hey guys, I brought some Piz- What is going on here?” The three of them heard from the bedroom door. It was Pepper.
“Mommy!” Morgan yelled running to her mother hugging her leg. Stark got off of Peter smiling at his daughter for the millionth time. Peter’s cheeks went pink as he sat up.
“Uh... H-Hi Pepper, we were just um...” Peter stuttered.
“Tony was tickling you?” Pepper interrupted.
“Me too!” Morgan called out.
“I! Uh... H-How did you?!” Peter asked as the pink rushed to his ears.
“Haha! I could hear you all the way down the hall.”
“Thanks hun, Pizza sounds great!” Tony cut in.
“Yeah, but you know what sounds better?” Pepper asked walking over to Tony.
“Helping the kids get some revenge!” Pepper teased before jabbing Tony’s side.
“NOPE!” Tony yelled before dashing out of the room.
“Lets get him guys!” Pepper said as the three of them chased after the billionaire.

| just say it | j.jh
pairing: jaehyun x fem!reader
genre: fluff
a/n: this ain’t proof read since i wrote this at 2am. so there could be ugly grammar down there hahaha. enjoy reading! ^^
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
“y/n! sejeong!” yewon called from the table at the very back of the cafeteria. “over here!”
with tray in both hands, you hurriedly walked to your group of friends. “sorry y’all had to wait. this girl slept through literature.” you rolled your eyes.
“when did she never.” chaeyoung laughed as she pinched sejeong’s half-awake state.
not long since you arrived the cafeteria, screams were heard; and it seemed like it grew louder as number of girls followed the campus’ radio djs: jaehyun and johnny.
“here they come.” sejeong giggled.
“the ritual everyday.” yewon rested her chin.
the two lads walked towards your table, jaehyun had his hands in his bag before pulling something out of it. “a box of yakult for you.”
“aw thanks jung.” you grabbed the product. “you remembered.”
“yeah, why would i forget when my phone’s buzzing with your messages every two minutes?” he scoffed, yet his pearly whites were seen. “idiot. see you.”
“well someone’s gotta remind you.” you stuck out your tongue. “later.”
the girls witnessed the short conversation exchanged between you and jaehyun. they nudged each other as you waved to the boys. “spill the beans y/n.”
“what?” you asked in disbelief, you rolled your eyes, realizing where this was going. “there’s nothing to spill. i swear this is like the hundredth time y’all asked me.”
“because we’re not convinced no matter how close of a relationship you have with ‘jung’.” sejeong said, emphasizing on the name, she finally awoke from her sleepy state.
“like i said, my family and his are business partners. so it kind of stuck to me to call him that.” you shrugged. “it’ll be awkward for me to suddenly call him by his name.”
true enough you and jaehyun have known each other since you were four. he often played at your house whether there were meetings to be held between your father and his. but you both grew close when you had to help the kid when he got stuck on a tire swing or had to calm him down whenever his parents dropped him at the daycare you both attended. who knew a crybaby would would to be a heartthrob. you didn’t see that coming.
at elementary and high school, you would go to the campus together. every single day. it wasn’t that you both wanted it. your mothers seemed to like it better as both of your fathers have been going onto business trips frequently. they probably thought it would be best if it applied to your school life. ‘mothers have the final say’, as it was said.
definitely there were misunderstandings that maybe you both lived in the same roof or had a special relationship. worse fact; engaged. that all cleared out when jaehyun had to stop the rumors because it was getting uncomfortable. and seriously speaking, his so-called fanbase at basketball would follow you everywhere. gladly though, you weren’t once ganged up, yet.
“‘nothing more to that’.” sejeong mimicked your words. “just admit you like him already. maybe by then you can call him ‘jaehyun.’”
you slapped her with a tissue that was placed on your side, afraid that others may hear her. “do you know how much our relationship will change if i confessed?” you hissed.
“okay stupid, you just did.” yewon laughed, her hands grabbed onto chaeyoung’s tee. you hit your lips several times, giving out tiny tantrums.
jaehyun sat on the table across from yours, giving hi-5s to the rest of his friends. his eyes were still on you and smiled when the little whiskers on your face slowly appeared. johnny took notice of the boy with a slight pink tint on the top half of his ears. “funny how y/n’s the only person who calls you ‘jung.’”
“why does she call you by your surname?” mark asked the older one.
“it’s a childhood thing. initially i thought she does it on purpose but i guess it became the norm for her.” jaehyun munched onto the roasted beef slices.
“never once you wanted her to at least say your name?” yuta teased the lad.
jaehyun only kept silent, leaving the others hanging.
“tell you what. jaehyun and y/n known each other since they were four, and y/n never called him by his name.” johnny elbowed the blonde hair boy, who clearly was interested at jaehyun’s story.
“no way. that’s insane!” mark laughed with his knuckles slightly covering his lips. “i’m really sure she’s choosing to not call you by your name. there’s definitely a reason for it bro.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
you waited for jaehyun at the glasshouse located at the garden, where he would teach you science. it was a kind of a pact and promise you both did since you failed the last quiz. jaehyun thought it was only fine to teach you. and you on the other hand? it wasn’t.
the thing was, jaehyun rarely tutored anyone. he usually studied alone or with his friends. by the time you entered university, little did you know his fanbase from high school still existed. however, uni life became worse. jaehyun was offered to be the campus’ radio dj along with johnny. that meant another fanbase. two fanbases combined meant trouble.
it also meant double trouble.
they knew you were hung out with their ‘beloved’ most of the time. their aim? it was to drive you out of the picture. last month, you thought the study session at the library was supposed to be quiet, but with jaehyun in it, it wasn’t. in the end, the librarian had to ask jaehyun to move elsewhere— you somehow got dragged too.
you flipped over the pages of your literature notebook. the columns indicating the weekly journals you have to finish. “agh, there’s never an end to writing about symbolism.” you complained, slopping yourself onto the table.
“and there’s never an end to your tantrums.” jaehyun appeared and sat beside you, grabbing the novel you were reading.
“ha ha. that’s funny. shall i applaud for you?” you brought your hands together to clap.
“sarcasm is something you’ll never succeed at.” jaehyun stuck out his tongue. dimples formed slowly until they became evident.
“should i give you an a+ for bluntness?” you rolled your eyes. he did the same, hitting your head with your novel.
“let’s just start.” he took out the folders and laptop for possible researches.
a few hours have passed and while you were focused on the journal writings, he stumbled upon an old picture of the both of you. a little y/n and jaehyun on a seesaw. memories seemed to attack him with nostalgia. he scrolled down several columns you have sent him from your albums.
there was one of his favorites; you and him in front of a pillow fort, except you cried because he destroyed yours. jaehyun didn’t realize he was giggling quite at a volume, making you look his way. “i thought you were studying, jung.”
“i am, but this pic just cracks me up so much. look at you all snotty and red.” he held back his laughs.
“can’t concentrate you know.” you sighed as you went back to studying.
“how about a fast quiz on what we studied? it’s been a few hours since we started.” he turned to you.
“fine.” you grabbed your file. “have to answer quickly right?”
“mhm. i’ll start, but i’ll ask you random subjects.” he tapped his chin.
“just get on with it!” you hit him lightly.
“choline is also known as?”
“vitamin j.”
“what’s the name of the third book of the hunger games?”
“mockingjay.”
“what bird has the ability to memorize and repeat a conversation?”
“jabberjay.”
“first initial of harry potter series’ author?”
“j.”
it was weird. jaehyun asked questions that covered nothing of what you have studied. sure they were literature and science related but he was not doing what he was supposed to do.
“look i don’t-” you were cut off.
“y/n, by what nickname does my parents call me?” his chocolate eyes stared into yours.
oh crap.. you had such a late realization. you fell for his motive.
your heart beat doubled. “..j-”
“what? i can’t hear you.” jaehyun singsonged, clearly teasing you.
your breathing fastened. “ja-”
“hm?” he asked.
“it’s.. ‘jae’...” you lowered your head as you tried to hide the fact you were embarrassed.
“you finally said my name.” his voice softened. you felt his fingertips onto your chin, bringing them up to the same level as his eyes. he was happy that you called him by his name. “and by the way you’re blushing.”
“s-so what if i am?” you covered your face but he grabbed hold of your arm.
“that’s okay.” he smiled like he saw cherry blossom bloom at spring. “y/n look at me.”
“i can’t.” you insisted. “i might pass out if i do.”
“i might do the same.” he cleared his throat.
“what?”
his words caught you off guard. you took a glimpse of jaehyun. oh man your eyes couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
he was red as a tomato.
“took you long enough.” jaehyun ruffled your hair in a mess. “i think you know what this means.” he pointed at his tinted ears.
“you ate spicy food?” you questioned, only to be hit on the head again. “ow.”
“idiot. i like you.”
“ah..ahaha.” you chuckled because you didn’t know what to say now that your crush liked you back. “since... when?”
“since i destroyed your pillow fort.” he fiddled with his fingers.
“oh..” girl you’d be lying if you didn’t say you were in cloud nine. “i’ve always liked you too..?”
the smile on his face will probably be something that will stay on your mind for a while. his heart seemed to act on his own, and his body just followed.
jaehyun was getting closer.
actually, too close.
then,
there was warmth on your lips.
he let go of the nape of your neck, as his large hands held yours.
“so, should i get an a+ for getting the girl?” jaehyun smirked, the usual expression to tease you.
“i really don’t know why i’m in love with you.”

SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
he sets teh phone down very carefully, as if it might bite. he tries to go about cleaning up his kitchen, but he keeps glancing at it.

twenty minutes later, Jack decides on a response: 'are you fucking with me?'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LOL JACK

"*with you"
jack is like "FUCK YOU YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
gabe just sends back a winky face
gabe stop flirting with an axe murderer
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Jack too frustrated to continue, thinking he'll drop it now, clean up a bit, and try again later when maybe he can manage to flirt his way into meeting this guy at a bar or something. 'gotta go clean my kitchen' he nearly chokes when the reply text comes back: 'what are you wearing?'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
OMG
jack replies "asshole i already sent you a pic"
"also i don't even know your name"
"gabe"
"after all that fuss about the picture you're just giving me your name??"
"i mean yeah you already know what i look like. might as well"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Jack lists him as 'asshole' in his contacts
like, all of Jack's contacts are named by insults--his manager is dickhead, the apartment complex office is cocksuckers, even his friends are things like nutjob and psycho and UNHOLY TERROR. the only normal one is Mom.
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LMAO
jack finally grumblingly is like "i'm wearing sweatpants jesus"
"JUST sweatpants?"
"you're pushing it"
omg yay this is becoming one where jack's anger outweighs his thirst
i'm excited
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
XD
Jack is like 'i literally JUST told you i just got home from working a double. i'm in last week's undone laundry and too many hours' worth of sweat and grime.' he has a moment of doubt after sending it, thinking that he might have just blown his chance of getting laid, but he's too tired and pissed off to really care. he can barely believe the next text that comes through.
'dirty boy, huh? i don't mind filthy.'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
HAHAHA
GABE IS TRYING SO HARD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
scars look good. X'D
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
jack is like "if i send you another pic will you leave me alone for the night"
gabe eventually gets a nice tiddy pic out of jack lol
and by that i mean the tits are nice but the camera work is lazy and annoyed
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
or, Jack sends what would have been a dick pick if he hadn't purposefully censored the important bits with a single finger salute
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LOLL
gabriel's so hyped about this new daydream material
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
gabe sends him a selfie doing the nice gesture :ok_hand: but held up to his mouth with an expression to make it obscenely suggestive
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
lmsncsdckjnc
and he's casually shirtless, though the picture doesn't focus on it
jack finds himself staring at it more than necessary
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
jack laughs shortly, a bit charmed in spite of himself
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
jack puts the phone down, kinda determined not to talk to gabe anymore. but the very next day something annoying happens at work and he immediately yells at gabe about it.
gabe keeps up with all the flirty innuendos but he's actually nice to talk to
jack can rant his heart out and gabe doesn't try to tell him what to do or anything, just makes jokes and shit out of it that actually make jack feel better
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Jack in a pissy mood one day and after he's done ranting about whatever petty shit happened to him, he lays into Gabe like 'why the fuck is it always me bitching about everything don't you have some complaints? you don't say shit about yourself asshole.' he has to wait just a bit for an answer, which is unusual, and he's startled when it arrives.
'i want to meet you.'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
hhhhhhhhh
jack is like oh god oh no
"however angry you think i am over text, i can guarantee i am a million times more angry in person"
gabe's like "that's hot"
jack's like "NO"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
i am vengeance!
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
gabe's like "come onnnn didn't you promise to murder me"
"how you gonna do that if you don't meet me"
"trust me asshole i can think of plenty of ways"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Gabe being all 'at least give me something else to work with aside from that one cockup of a dick pic you sent. my imagination's running out of fuel.'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
does gabe finally just like show up at jack's job
LOL
FIRST MORE AWKWARD SEXTING
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
what if they just start sexting first
XD
yeah
but like. actual sexting, rather than just teasing pics.
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
NOW JACK SENDS THE TIT PIC
he's like at work and just kinda pulls the collar of his shirt away and snaps a pic real quick
gabe is like holy shit i'm actually thankful for your shitty camerawork bc now i know for sure those are real
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
XD
gabe getting jack so worked up at work that jack has to go duck into the men's room or a supply closet or something
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LOL the image of jack pissed off as hell that he's turned on and angrily jerking off between yelling at gabe via text
in a freaking closet or whatever
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
jack holding the phone in one hand, his dick in the other, furiously pumping and even more furiously cursing gabe's name and while he's at it accidentally calling gabe in the middle of his tirade
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
AHHH
gabe picks up and just hears a series of increasingly loud and creative curses
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
towards the end of it, Gabe finally breaks radio silence with something like 'you've got a sexy voice' and Jack, immediately comes, and after a startled moment that ruins the relief, he absolutely tears into Gabe for having been eavesdropping
Gabe just laughs, and the sound is so warm and rich that it cuts straight through Jack's anger, making him shiver, and if he hadn't just jerked off, he knows he'd be halfway ready to just after that
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
AHHH jack you angry thirsty bitch
he growls "fuck you asshole you'd better make this worth my while"
gabriel hums and says "well i was thinking about you and-"
jack cuts him off "LATER OH MY GOD YOU FUCK I'M AT WORK"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Gabe laughs again, that wonderful, damnable sound. 'working hard, Sunshine?'
The noise Jack makes is priceless and Gabriel is doubled over with laughter as Jack hangs up on him
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
eeeeeee
jack kicks the wall hard enough to dent and hates that he's thinking about it still
gabe texts jack later that night like "so you in bed?"
jack's like "no dick i'm in my kitchen microwaving shitty leftovers"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe why are you putting up with this abuse? XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
because jack is hilarious to fuck with AND has amazing tits
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
the tits again. damn them. they're too powerful.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
yep
jack is like "what the fuck would you have done if i wasn't gay"
gabe's like "well probably keep teasing you until you saw the light"
"you're a cocky motherfucker aren't you"
"i got all the cock in the world for you sweetheart <33"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
omg XD <3<3<3 A+
'i fucking hate you, you know that right?'
'you big softie.'
'i mean it cockbite you're a fucking annoyance. now are you gonna show me your dick or not?'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LOL JACKIE
gabe sends a picture and jack is like "jesus christ. that's not a dick that's a weapon. you were the murderer all along."
gabe is like "OMG jack did you just make a JOKE"
jack, furiously lubing his fingers: fuck off you dickfaced piece of fuck
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
under the incredibly thin pretense that it's easier to talk than text while they do this (as if they haven't managed before) Jack calls Gabe and demands they use speakerphone
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
heheheheee
gabe is obscenely good at dirty talking, jack just kinda groans curses and tells gabe to shut the fuck up
he's got four fingers in his ass and gabriel telling him how good he is, how sexy he sounds, so on and so on- and jack finally moans gabe's name
he's never once said it before
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
when Gabe teasingly asks if he ought to keep quiet, Jack, flustered responds with 'no, DON'T shut the fuck up--just--shut the fuck up..! goddamnit Gabe you shit fucking asshole!'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
eeeeeeeee
gabriel was so smooth this whole time but his voice finally cracks a little and he starts coming undone and jack is like HOLY SHIT
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
jack realizing that he's going to have to break down and meet Gabe in person, and the entire remaining few minutes before he comes, every swear that passes his lips is more out of anxiety over the meeting than any immediate need for release.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahhhh gabe
.... jack
i meant jack
LOL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
gabe keeps babbling about how bad he wants to touch jack, get his mouth on those perfect tits, mark him up and finger him senseless, THEN fuck him
jack is Dying
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
after jack comes, while he's just relaxed enough not to care, he mutters 'you're not gonna like me.'
Gabe recognizes it as Jack's agreement to finally meet, and he can't help the surge of triumph. he tries not to sound too smug--just in case--when he reminds Jack that they've been talking for weeks and that, if he was gonna dislike Jack, he'd certainly have figured that out already.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AHHHH
does jack admit that he likes gabe or is it too soon >w>
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
too soon, i think. he's only just worked up the courage to meet the guy he's done nothing but cuss at and lust over via text for weeks XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
>w<
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
so, what does Gabe suggest for their first date? few rounds at a gym? barfight?
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LOL
jack is like "you know me so well"
this is when gabe awkwardly drops in while jack's at work?? XD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
and jack immediately gets an awkward boner? XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
HAHA
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
looks up, sees Gabe, chokes on his own spit, points across the room and shouts 'get the fuck out of here!'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AHAHAHA
where does he work and does he have to wear a stupid uniform
one of those dumb aesthetic diners??
well either way jack is SO MAD especially because gabe's voice triggers a pavlovian response at this point
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
i was thinking garage, so he's all greasy and gross and in one of those ugly onesie jumpsuits
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahhhh yessss
he's all flustered and when he gets flustered he gets Punchy
gabe can't tell if his face is bright red from embarrassment or fury
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
both. both is good.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
and he's all self-conscious about the random smears of oil and whatever on his face and in his hair but he keeps nervously running his fingers through his hair and making it Worse
gabe wants to kiss him so bad
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
GABE WASN'T EXPECTING HIS OWN AWKWARD BONER
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
HAHAHA
he really does like em filthy >w>
jack is all over the place and gabe is just kinda watching him rage in a daze. all he can think about is how much he wants those greasy, work-roughened hands on him
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
Jack coming over to shoo Gabe out, but when he grabs Gabe's arm to steer him toward the door, Gabe manages to snag a bit of his coveralls and mutter 'where were you hiding that time?'
Jack curses vehemently beneath his breath, because even thinking about how crowded close they would be in that tiny supply closet has him uncomfortably hard, and being so close to fucking Gabe and his stupid fucking face and his intoxicating goddamn smell and the huge fuck off cock that Jack knows is waiting for him is too much
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AAHDALIDNASDKJNCJCN
jack gives him a hard shove in the right direction and snarls "get over there"
.... oh lol that's a game line XDD
gabe stumbles into the closet and turns around to jack slamming the door shut in his face and locking him in there
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
OMG
XD
JAAAACK
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
HE'S AT WORK AND GABE IS DISTRACTING
and he's a bad combo of horny and pissed
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe texting him from the closet a series of increasingly more risque photos
better be careful no one finds him and calls the cops XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahahahahaha
jack finally gets to his lunch break and slams into the closet, immediately just on gabriel's mouth and yanking at his clothes
gabriel is suddenly incredibly aware of the fact that jack is actually just a tiny bit taller than him
they bang painfully into various shelves and random shit but neither of them stop. gabriel is delighted that it only seems to make jack more intense.
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe asking jack between hasty kisses how long his lunch break is and trying to make a bet with him on how many times he can make him come before he has to get back
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
hhhhhhhhhhh
somehow jack ends up hoisted up against the door with his legs around gabe's waist and gabe's fingernails drawing blood from his thighs
haaa wait jack is wearing a jumpsuit
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
not anymore
XD
Jack's cussing reaches new levelsof inventiveness as they fight with the layers of his clothing
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
simultaneously threatening gabriel with death if he tears his uniform while also threatening death if he doesn't get his clothes off immediately
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahahaha what if they get discovered before they actually really get anywhere
like they're just aggressively grinding and then someone bangs on the door and is like MORRISON WTF GET BACK TO WORK
let the tension build until his shift is over >w>
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
omg
jack gets done with his shift and texts gabe his address and is all 'IF YOU AREN'T FUCKING THERE TO MEET ME AND READY TO FINISH WHAT WE FUCKING STARTED I SWEAR TO ALL THAT IS HOLY I WILL FLAY YOU AND USE YOUR HIDE LIKE A BEARSKIN RUG'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AHAHA YEP
gabe gets there and barely has time to knock on the door before jack is yanking him inside and they're making out against a random wall
gabe ends up fucking jack for the first time over his kitchen counter
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
lol i'm just imagining Jack cussing up a storm when he has to wash his greasy, gritty handprints off the backsplash later XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LOL
gabe bends him over the counter and jack snarls "you motherfucker i make FOOD here" but when gabe tries to pull away jack is like "GABRIEL I SWEAR TO GOD FUCK ME RIGHT NOW"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
just no pleasing him XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
it turns out jack was just really really hangry
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
omg. gabe REALLY needs to bring handcuffs and a gag into this relationship.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
once gabe fucks him a whole bunch jack mellows out a startling amount for brief periods of time immediately afterward
AHAHA YES
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
lol turns into slug jack
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
yeppp
after being fucked, jack drops like a rock
goes immediately into slug form
which lasts for between 5 minutes and 3 hours depending on how hard they went
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
gabe thinks this is the funniest shit ever
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
takes lots of pics
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
the best part is he knows for a fact that almost no one has experienced slug jack
it's just for him XDD
but then jack goes back to his usual temperamental self in no time
which gabe loves too <33
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe has a skewed sense of humor in this one XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
yep XDDD
ahhhhh but then everything changed when the Feelings attacked
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
omg
timing.
i'm seriously about to drop
feelings tomorrow?
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ME TOO NGL,,,
SOUNDS GOOD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
yey
XD
<3<3<3
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
GOOD NIGHT
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
night night. hope you sleep well. <3
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
<333
LOL
okay so plot twist for this angry jack and weird sense of humor gabe
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
???????
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
jack gets feelings first
:3c
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
=O
ohhhh he would be SO FUCKED
i love it XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
>w<
gabe's having a grand old time but he's not sure if it's serious
or if he wants it to be serious
meanwhile jack trips and plunges straight into a bottomless pit of Feelings
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
oh noooo
so does jack, like, in his angry, cuss-y way...try to...talk about it??
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
HAHAHA
well first he has to randomly get even more irritable than usual for seemingly no reason
also starts being more aggressive about sex bc hey that's the reason gabe's here right
which gabe is happy to oblige of course
but it is weird
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
i'm just trying to wrap my head around how angry this Jack would have to get in order for Gabe to notice.
maybe it's not just that--maybe he actually starts, like, not answering texts right away--sort of how he would do back when they first met
not quite avoiding Gabe, but something's off.
and his insluts feel a bit forced and stale. they don't flow so readily. XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
heeheeee
jack is caught between "do i try to be more pleasant so maybe he'll like me back or do i try to make him go away before it gets painful"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
oh jacki
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
omg jack awkwardly haltingly asking if gabe wants to go out to eat
he means it as a date but gabe takes it as casual dinner
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
OH NO GABE BUNNY SUNSHINE BBY NO
Jack trying to get himself cleaned up all pretty for gabe
actually buys a nie set of clothes
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AHHHHH
and he thinks he's being So painfully obvious about his crush, gabe HAS to know right?
but no. gabe just thinks he's being a little off.
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe sees him in khakis and...i don't know...a sweatervest or something and laughs and asks who died
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ALIENACKISA
woah accidentally spelled alien with my keysmash
nice :alien:
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
geez though jack would be Livid
either that or shut down a little
some weird combination of the two
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gets livid first, then just kinda shuts down and gives up. he's unnaturally quiet thru the meal, responding only when absolutely necessary, and then usually in grunts. it's enough that even Gabe realizes that something's wrong. his first guess: 'shit, Jack, did someone actually die?'
only Jack's budding hopes for their relationship
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
skjfnsejkcnesjkfnsecjkn
jack grumbles "if only"
subtext: somebody is going to die and jack hasn't decided if it will be gabriel or himself yet
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
X'D
brb--time for tea
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ooo that's a good idea
jack is quietly fiddling with his pasta, only kinda nibbling at it. gabe decides to test the waters with the worst corn-related jab he can come up with. jack gives him a look but doesn't respond.
gabe concludes that jack must be dying of cancer or something
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
HE'S DYING OF HEARTBREAK GABE CAN'T YOU SEE???
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LOL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
oh god. so, what if Gabe, like, pesters an answer out of him, and Jack kinda mutters 'I like you' and Gabe s COMPLETELY not expecting this OR for Jack to apparently be in earnest about it, and he laughs. Just a short laugh, the sort of laugh that bursts out when you're completely stunned by something a need a moment to process. But Jack takes it completely the wrong way. Gabe get's a second's warning in the almost murderous look on Jack's face, then he gets decked and ends up laid out on the floor and stuck with the check.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
kajcnaksjcnakcjnsakcj
jack completely breaks his nose
gabe ends up having to go to the er real quick for that lmao
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
omg
they avoid each other for a good whie afterwards. Gabe is mad bc Jack actually hit him. Jack is pissed bc Gabe didn't get it. Gabe's the first one that caves, texting Jack about being owed an apology. Jack doesn't answer, and it's a full day before Gabe tries again.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
omg bratty gabe
another plot twist
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
you have one, or bratty gabe is one?
also i think gabe is justified XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
bratty gabe is one XDD
he's definitely justified in being bratty
it's just funny lol
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
when Gabe follows up the next day and sees that Jack is going to try to ignore him again, it sets off his temper. He sends text after text after text until he finally gets a string of mismatched curses followed by WHAT from Jack
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahhhhh
gabe is like DON'T WHAT ME YOU BROKE MY NOSE
jack sends a very non-genuine sorry
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
so fucking sowwy i hurt the widdle baby's feewings. fuck off asshole.
Gabe calls him. Jack ignores it. When Gabe starts calling back every time it goes to voicemail, Jack turns his phone off and flings it across the room. He settles in with a movie and orders a pizza. When he hears teh door, he automatically goes and opens it, and is taken by surprise when Gabe comes barreling in, demanding to know what the FUCK his problem is.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
JAACK
you can't escape
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
'Why the fuck did you hit me?? That's a pretty damn mixed signal.'
Jack does NOT want to have this conversation. He turns his back on Gabe, goes to pick up his phone as if he hadn't flung it away half an hour ago, and curses about the screen being broken.
'Jack. I came here to get an answer. You owe me that much, at least. My nose looks like a fucking beet.'
'Ha. Now I'm not the only one with an ugly mug. Least yours isn't permanent.'
The pizza guy arrives, giving Jack another small break and he tips big in gratitude, then tries to shoo Gabe away. 'I only ordered for one.'
'Jack you stubborn fucking bastard, was it all your goddamn idea of a joke or something?'
'Oh, yeah, ha ha REAL FUNNY the big angry guy with the scars has feelings! What a goddamn RIOT.'
'That's not what I meant.'
'Then why the fuck did you laugh?'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahhhhhhhhhhh
gabe doesn't reply right away and jack actually deflates
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
((i'm so unaccustomed to angry jack that it doesn't even feel like him tbh XD))
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
he rubs at his arm and says "look i get it i'm so fucking amusing to you. but i'm too tired to entertain you right now."
lol angry jack is another rare commodity
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
oh god my tiny, emotionally-stunted heart ; ;
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
he just wants gabe to take him seriously a little qoq
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
so, Gabe doesn't have feels yet...?
or is this the kick in the pants that makes him realize he doesn't smile immediately upon seeing Jack out of anticipation for hilarity, but rather bc he's genuinely glad to see him?
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
hhhh can't decide if i want more angst or for them to fix it
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
if Gabe doesn't have feels, and tries to let Jack down gently, i can't realyl see angry Jack staying with him.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
maybe gabe doesn't really think too hard about it, just tells jack that he misses him. really misses him, not just when he's unintentionally funny, but all the time
"i just..." he sighs, trying to swallow his pride. "i'm sorry... i laughed. i was just startled"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
Jack grits his teeth over that, but holds his tongue.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
"i just never know what you're thinking, so... i didn't expect it."
"i asked you on a date," jack growls. "we've been having sex like nonstop since we met." apart from the past few days. "what else would i be thinking?"
"that... it was casual." gabe shuffles and looks at jack through his lashes. "you meant it? you really..."
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
GABE YOU'RE GONNA GET PUNCHED AGAIN
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
jack is flexing his fist threateningly
"yes, fuck, i like you." he says it with his usual irritable bluster, but there's a tremble in his voice and it suddenly hits gabe that jack is nervous
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
he's just a big insecure softie under all that bluster, Gabe.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
YEP
and gabe didn't really get that until just now
he stares at jack open-mouthed and jack actually blushes. "what?"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LMAO
gabe needs to talk to semi-slug jack about this lmao
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
lol no kidding
okay, so, when last we left our intrepid heroes, Jack was trying not to crush the pizza that just got delivered as he held it in his large, angry hands while Gabe came to the slow realization that Jack was serious when he claimed to like like him. But to Gabe, they've only ever been friends with benefits.
Gabe, deciding that now is hardly the time to stop being blunt, asks Jack if he's going to invite him to stay for dinner, since he owes him a meal at least after leaving him stuck with the check last time.
Grudgingly, Jack allows him to stay. They sit as far from each other as possible on the couch, open pizza box between them.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
omg
the atmosphere is ice cold
omg but jack hasn't been sleeping well at all after all this drama and after they put on some dumb show, he quickly starts dozing off
gabe moves the box before jack ends up with a face full of grease
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD PIZZA FACE!
When Gabe tries to help ease Jack down, Jack latches onto him and is snuggly--too far gone towards sleep to be his usual grumpy bear self
Gabe is like 'this is not what i came here for.'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
heeeeee exhaustion induced slug jack
he ends up with jack's head pillowed in his lap and a hand running through jack's hair
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
BLESS
<3<3<3
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
>w<
gabe can't resist dropping a kiss onto jack's temple and jack's nose wrinkles adorably
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
he's kinda sitting there, petting Jack's hair absently while he ponders his predicament
he likes Jack, but he likes him as a fun fuckbuddy. He hadn't been thinking about anything more serious, and isn't sure he wants something like that.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
COME ON GABE
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
WELL WE JUST SPRANG IT ON HIM
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
gabe tries to get up but jack just clings more
gabe like gently pulls away but jack tugs hard and somehow gabe ends up on his back with a dozing jack curled on top of him
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
they doze off like that, only to be awakened with a start at almost three in the morning as the dipshit from upstairs gets back drunk again and starts banging on the door of his apartment to be let in. lol
cue early morning grumpy Gabe, slug Jack, and a chance to talk when Jack's awake but too tired to be wrathful
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
YES
jack starts mumbling about how he really really likes gabe
he knows he's hard to be around and nobody wants to deal with him but gabe still wants to be in his life
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
ohhh ;-;
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
gabe starts to realize how much he means to jack finally lmao
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
'jeezus, bro, you couldn't just tell me all this before now?' he slugs Jack lightly in the shoulder, but Jack just huffs and won't make eye contact with him.
'Jack, I--'
'Don't give me an answer right now. I can guess what it'll be.'
Gabe consideres him for a minute. Then: 'All right. You mind if I stay over?'
Jack shrugs and Gabe grabs his hands to pull him up off the couch. 'All right, big boy. Up you get.' He leads Jack to the bedroom and undresses him before tumbling him into bed. He sheds his own clothes and climbs in after him. Any protests Jack might have made fall silent as Gabe kisses him. He keeps it soft and slow, even as he deepens the kiss. Every move is gentle, intended to comfort. Jack is already drifting back to sleep even as Gabriel strokes him.

hhhhhhhhh QwQ
gabes getting feelssss
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/28/2017
lol but Jack waking up and being his normal self, cursing up a blue streak at all the hickies Gabe sucked into his neck last night.
without taking about it, they reach an agreement to continue on as they had been. the only change is that Jack is more reticent, less likely to text Gabe first, and more likely to go silent.
firesonic152 - 10/28/2017
ahhhhhhhh
he's still aggressive when they makeout and all through foreplay but as soon as gabe is inside him, he stops putting up his usual fight
if gabe goes rough he takes it willingly, but he doesn't push back
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/28/2017
omg. like, i really need to turn in but...before that--Gabe starting to get weirded out by how Jack is in bed, so he confronts him about it, says that Jack going all passive makes him feel like the bad guy. and Jack just casually shoots back that there's nothing Gabe can dish out that he can't handle, and Gabe just snaps back with something like 'Jack, I love you, but damn it if you aren't the most stubborn fucking cuss. I just want to know that I'm making you feel good.' And he stops because Jack is gaping at him. '...what?'
'What did you just say?'
'That...I want to make you feel good.' But something is nagging at the back of his mind, and he replays the words and hears what Jack heard and now both of them are staring at each other.
firesonic152 - 10/28/2017
AHHHHHHHH
I'M DYING BRO
that was gay
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/28/2017
XD
GOOD.
it was gay and cliche and they can figure out if Gabe meant it tomorrow
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
soozy pay attention to me
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
lol sorry
what's up?
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
nothing i just miss you XD
AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT IF GABE MEANT IT
if he loves jack yet anyway
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
Jack muttering 'You didn't mean that,' as he turns away, but Gabe can see that he's blushing again.
'I didn't mean to say it...' he hedges.
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
hhhhh gabe you coy motherfucker
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
maybe he still doesn't know if he means it that way
like, Gabe's a sweetheart. he's affectionate, and it just slipped out. but is it really the whole romantic love sort of thing, or just affection?
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
he definitely likes jack a lot, more than anyone he's ever had a thing with. but he doesn't know if he likes jack as much as jack likes him??
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
what if he asks for more time, and Jack snaps back that that's all he's been giving him. Hands him excuses, gives him time.
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
gabriel looks pained as he says quietly that he really thinks jack deserves someone who loves him more than anything and he just... wants to make sure he isn't holding jack back from that
OR SOMETHING lol
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
not holding him back from that by sticking around as a fuck buddy? lol good job, Gbae
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
LOL that's what jack throws in his face
SO LIKE. HOW WE GONNA MAKE GABE FINALLY REALIZE HIS FEELINGS I'm dying squirtle
we could always fuck up jack somehow
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
i mean, it'd prolly be easy enough to just have Jack get tired of waiting and call it off...
THEN fuck him up OuO
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
YES
AND GABE FREAKS OUT ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE LOST HIS CHANCE W JACK
jack spits at gabe that he's tired of waiting for gabe to figure it out and he's done. gabe doesn't have any counterarguments.
the last time gabe sees jack is when he walks out the door and turns around to see jack hesitate for just a second, a death drip on the door handle that he could swear is denting it. then a muttered "don't text me" before the door closes in his face.
and that's that
until jack gets fucked up somehow
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
lands himself in the hospital, however he manages it.
i guess we can't make it something funny like...he throws a spanner in a fit of rage and it bounces back to hit him in the face? XD
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
LMAO
HE LIKE GETS A SERIOUS HEAD INJURY
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
i was thinking he picks a fight with the wrong people and gets Destroyed
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
yah. that was my serious thought. XD
drunk bar fight?
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
yeah lmaooo
he's like already dangerously intoxicated and then gets beaten within an inch of his life
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
alcohol poisoning AND all sorts of blunt force trauma
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
good combo
gabe finds out bc his friend angela is like "bro there's this patient i'm super worried about"
she starts going on about how this patient is like really fucked and she starts getting teary eyed over it and at some point she mentions the name jack and gabe can't hear anything else she says until she tells him the last name
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Gabe sitting by Jack's bedside, desperately wanting him to wake up and be okay, convinced that he irreparably fucked things up between them, but just wanting to know that he'll be okay before he gets out of Jack's life again.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
ahhh
he tries to convince himself that it's only because he feels guilty about how they ended things but deep down he knows it's more than that
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
;;
keeps telling himself that he merely wants to apologize to Jack, but really he needs Jack to be all right, needs to talk to him just one more time
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
HE'S GONNA OWE JACK SUCH AN APOLOGY WHEN HE WAKES UP
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
so jack finally wakes up and like
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Gabe means to apologize, but what comes out is a lecture XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
he's Fucked up. semi-permanent eye damage and shit
yep !
jack is like FUCK OFF IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
gabe is like IT IS MY BUSINESS I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
WELL YOU PICKED A FINE FUCKING TIME TO DECIDE THAT, ASSHOLE
I DIDN'T FUCKING DECIDE IT, JACKASS, IT JUST HAPPENED
They're having, like, a full on shouting match in the hospital and the docs have to call security to get them to back down
XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
AHAHA
they kick gabe out but he manages to sneak back in
they continue their shouting match in angry whispers
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
of course, they have to get pretty close for that to work
so it ends up with an angry make out session
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
they fuck up some of jack's stitches
his face starts bleeding
for some reason it only makes jack more insistent
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Gabe tastes Jack's blood in the midst of the kiss and backs off, starts lecturing him again. When Jack tells him he can either kiss him or fuck off, Gabe tells Jack that if he wants the former, then he can give Gabe a second chance once he's out of the hospital.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
omg gabe
baiting him w his own thirst
jack hates how he caves to that
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
as soon as jack's cleared to go home, they rush back to his apartment and barrel onto jack's bed. gabe starts babbling about all his feelings but jack orders him to shut up and prove it
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
omg jack
gabe sweet talking him all the way through it until he voice starts to go hoarse
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
ahhhhhhh<33
gabe partially lectures jack on being a fucking idiot but also drowns him in affection
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Jack is just swearing at him the entire time, but it's all desperate and needy and after a while just a babbling stream of noise expressing how much he's wanted all of Gabe
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
ahhhhh jack you hot mess
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
yes.
Jack being desperate and overcome and stil sore and rushing headlong into this even tho Gabe's hurt him more than once, but he just wants so goddamn bad
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
AHHHH
and gabe gets overwhelmed by how jack is still throwing himself back into gabe despite everything
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
jack is sad and lonely and he wuvs gabe and just wants to be happy ;;
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
gabriel slows for a moment, scared of how he could potentially fuck this up again and hurt jack even worse, but jack kisses him, bites his lip, growls at him to stop thinking and just take him
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
o///o
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
they both end up THOROUGHLY marked XDD
jack becomes a slug for like 5 whole hours after
(gabe takes the opportunity to fuck slug jack slow and sweet <333)
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
lol
Jack wanting so badly to just let himself enjoy the intimacy that begins to follow, tho--Gabe getting up and fixing coffee and bringing him some, extra gestures of affection like kisses and ruffling his hair and just reaching out to touch him or lean against him, calling him to say good night or good morning on days when Gabe doesn't stay over--just all the small gestures that go beyond fuck buddies. They give Jack the warm fuzzies, but his anxiety twists things around so that he has to fight to hold on to the good feelings.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
AHHH
jaaack
but then gabe marries him so it's okay!!!!!!!!
tell me it's okay lol
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
yes, pls. v okay. they turn into that comic where Jack is asking 'you still like me, right?' up until they're in their couple's graves
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
LOL
gabe has to smooch his ring finger
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
omgomg
yup
Gabe and Jack falling back onto the mattress, all out of breath after their first roud on their honeymoon, and Gabe letting out this faint laugh and it gets Jack laughing a bit. He asks what's funny, and Gabe gestures vaguely, and is like: 'this. i never expected any of this.' And even as Jack is going quiet next to him, Gabe rolls over and cups his cheek and smiles reassuringly. 'didn't expect doesn't mean regrets. i'm glad it happened, and if i had a million lifetimes, i'd marry you again in all of them.'
Jack smiles for him, just a little thing, but he's better these days at trusting Gabe over things like that. He still blushes every time, though, which Gabe still finds enchanting. Jack wraps an arm around him, pulling Gabe on top of him.
'Show me how glad you are.'
Gabe is more than happy to do so.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
hhhhh<33333
angry jack is all about actions >w<
i'm dying that's so cute
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
^^
angry jack is all about getting laid as much as possible XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
LOL also true
but normal jack is also kinda like that
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
yup. consistent characterization ftw
XD
so, like, does Jack end up taking some anger management courses or something as a show of how serious he is about wanting to make sure the relationship works?
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
he definitely needs to do something to mellow out lol
krav maga
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
UHM
i think
that might
have
not good
consequences
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
LOL
krav maga is totally jack's preferred fighting style though lbr
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
takes up swimming at the Y to burn off energy. also, exercise is supposedly a mood enhancer?
Gabe totes approves.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
:DDD
jack is able to balance anger jack w slug jack
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
ohh, what if he's reluctant to broach the anger management idea w Gabe not only bc he doesn't want to throw one of his biggest shortcomings into the spotlight, but also bc he's afraid Gabe won't like him as much wout the anger to laugh at
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
uahhh
how does gabe tackle that if jack won't bring it up DD:
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
like, how does Gabe suggest it to him?
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
yeah :thinking:
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
maybe he doesn't. i think it would mean more if Jack decided to make the change for himself.
but to come out and say 'I have this problem' even if that's the preface to 'I'm going to try to fix it' can be hard--even if it's a really obvious problem.
it's like, if you don't talk about it, then maybe it isn't so bad. maybe the consequences can be put off indefinitely.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
yeah qoq
ahh jack starts like going to a group or something but he doesn't want gabe to know so he starts getting kinda shifty whenever gabe asks what he's always doing at the same time every week or two
gabe has no idea what jack could be hiding from him lmao
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD and the REALLY weird thing is, when he tries to confront Jack about it, instead of a flood of curses, Jack takes a deep breath and tries really hard to hold his temper and respond evenly.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
LOL
GABE THERE'S YOUR CLUE
gabe worries but he also objectively trusts jack so he tries not to ask too much
BUT GOD HE WANTS TO KNOW
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
meanwhile, Jack keeps telling himself that once he's made some progress, he'll tell gabe, 'cause it'll be easier once he no longer has a problem. thing is, Jack doesn't recognize the progress he's making.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
gabe notices though QwQ
maybe he like comments on it one day kinda out of the blue
how he's happy that jack seems to be much happier lately
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Jack gets weirdly defensive about that.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
can gabe tell jack he's proud of him!!!
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
once he gets Jack to spill XD
what if Gabe found one of the brochures from the group, and put two and two together?
and he mentions Jack's mood to test the waters, then admits he figured it out when Jack gets flustered
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
aww
jack tries to like give gabe a whole thing about how he knows his reactions to things are really bad and he's really trying and all that but gabe just silences him with the proud line ??
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Startled, Jack blinks owlishly at him for a moment. tries to argue that he's still fucking up, but Gabe won't hear it--just smiles gently and repeats that he's proud of him.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017

An Inner Circle First-Timer’s Concert Experience In Seoul [#WINNEREverywhereTourinSeoul]
So. If you tell me freakin’ one year ago if I’d be flying to Seoul for a Kpop concert, I’d smack you for slander.
Buuuuut here we are, a week after WINNER’s Everywhere Tour in Seoul :))))) I’ve just begun to recover. Literally, it took me a week to get through the stages of mourning and to accept that it’s over HAHAHUHU
Anyway, here’s my (and Liz’s) experience in attending a concert in Seoul!
---
Why we wanted to see them in Seoul (when it was sure they were gonna go to MANILA anyway):
1. It’s Liz’s annual bday trip gipp!! Or idk, this is part of the rationalization we thought of AHAHA. Initially, we were set for Singapore as it would be way cheaper for sure, but another reason came up....
2. We wanted to see them in their most “comfortable” version - Not sure if comfortable is the word, but I guess we wanted to see them how they were in their home country?? Speaking comfortably in Korean and all? We were anticipating that for other countries it would probably be just Yoon speaking most of the time (not that it’s a problem with us HAHA), and we wanted to see all them four being their natural makulit presence on stage (without them thinking about the language hinderance--even if kami yung hindi makaintindi sa kanila :)))) I know it’s a weird reasoning but :)))) And it’s been a long time since they’ve done a full concert in Seoul! We just wanted to be there in the kickoff concert. I mean, if we were willing to fly out to see them, o di todo na namin diba? Seoul it is!
--
How we got the tickets:
Here’s the thing: this is not our first rodeo. We’ve already successfully watched Coldplay in Singapore last year after (WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ALREADY) a bloody online ticketing war. Coldplay tickets were wiped out in 20 minutes, I think? But I was able to secure 7 tickets (3 VIP standing, 4 upper box tickets) after much death and resurrection.
We thought we were prepared for a WINNER ticketing war lol. We were not. Everything (or at least the seats we targeted) was more or less gone in less than 4 minutes.
There were two waves, one week apart. Both of them were intense :)))) I guess our third-world country internet cannot compete with their 5G data network?!
A HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to Cams and Dianne for basically hand-holding me throughout the entire process of securing tickets from Seoul!! T_T Without them, we probably wouldn’t have gotten tickets. All transactions were smooth and hassle-free. There were a lot of K-ICs who also wanted G-ICs to attend the Seoul concert and thus were purchasing tickets so scalpers can’t get to them first. They also helped me with tips and advice on where to stay, where to go, etc etc as it was our first time in Korea. Sobrang bait and helpful nila as in! T_T
---
Of course that was only half of the problem:
In less than a month, we had to book flights (ANG MAHAL NA NITO SIYEMPRE), book hotel (Thank you Agoda for your occasional flash sales) and of course, VISA. We highly recommend TravelPros for your Korean visa processing needs! We spent around 700 pesos for this, and we got the visa in exactly 6 days. Super fast. Pero may drama pa kami dun sa visa requirements LORD HAHA pero hindi ko na kwento haba na nito. BASTA when we got the visa I wanted to throw a fiesta, ganung level =))
---
CONCERT D-Day~~~
We wanted to get in early-ish because we were anticipating the DVD / merch line.
The train was a bit confusing for this stop!! We knew we were not the only ones because some of the Koreans were also confused where to get off haha
This ad greeted us before the exit!
Entering the Olympic Park Stadium~
Sure enough the line was at least 500m already when we arrived at around 10:45.
AAAAAND YES I lined up for 2 hours for the DVD 0_0 Under the heat of Korean summer 0_0
Questions in my mind while in queue:
1. why does everyone look so fresh except me
2. how to spot foreigners: they use umbrellas for the heat
3. Don’t be weak
4. why am I doing this again
Anyway, tada~
Let’s just ignore the part where if we waited until 3pm, or at least when the line tapered off, I could have gotten it without the sunburn on my batok but where’s the fun in that no?
Liz and teh boyfriend lined up for merch (mercifully it was shorter) and they were able to buy 2 lightsticks (OUR FIRST ONES YAY! Hirap daw lagyan ng battery lol) and shirts (X and XL lang ang available sizes but it still works out!?? What is this Korean sizing sorcery?!)
---
All the cafe / restos were full (Mamamoo was also having a concert that day!) so we had to settle for convenience store food :))) It wasn’t bad!
Met Cams and lots of other PH-ICs who travelled from MNL! You can check out #ICsPHGoesToSeoul to see what everyone was up to while in Seoul.
We got a lot of fans (as in pamaypay) from different fansites (and thus we didn’t have to line up, yay!) and actually saw the faces behind big accounts* HAHA it was surreal.
Actually, the whole thing was pretty surreal (YA THINK) in a good way. Since it’s our first time to attend a KPop concert, we didn’t know a lot of things. One of those was... lining up for freebies given by fansites.
Girl, INTENSE. As in, pila kung pila ang mga bagets and not-so bagets. Paano naman kasi ang cute ng freebies! Fans, stickers, photocards, etc. Looking back feeling ko dapat pumila/bumili kami BUT holehhhshit it was really so hot, and after lining up for 2 hours we wanted to just save our energy.
Super tita namin right?!
Also most of the masternims who were offering their freebies were all speaking in Korean (malamang) so we didn’t know if it was free or for sale... AH BASTA MAGULO isip namin hahaha yeaaaah looking back we should have at least tried BUT yun nga, it was really too damn hot to walk around talaga. Maybe next time!! (next time talaga?!)
Kill time! We just randomly sat anywhere we could #ifItfitswesits
At some points, we could hear the sound check so medyo spoilery siya (we heard Jinwoo’s solo performance HAHA) at the same time we were like OMG 0_0
---
FINALLY TIME TO ENTER!
Our seats were 2F (as in second floor). We were initially planning to aim for 1F but giiiiiirl waley. 2F wasn’t that bad! Ang nasa isip ko MOA Arena levels where it’s too high up. This was okay (as if may choice kami HAHA). 1F would be the best seats talaga. Standing is a gamble because there’s a chance you won’t be able to see anything BUT the interactions that WINNER made with the standing group was really worth it :))))) WATCH THE FANCAMS IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I MEAN
I tried to use MIXLR for the first time pala, since I wanted to kinda pay it forward. The first time I “experienced” a WINNER concert was through Cami’s Fukuoka?? mixlr concert and back then I thought, it’s amazing that someone would really try to share this experience with us that can’t make it to the concert.
(Now that I’m replaying my mixlr, I AM SORRY FOR THE THOUSAND OMGs I SAID =)))) I swear I’m more coherent than that--except when you know, Mino was body rolling live, Hoony was lifting his shirt to reveal his perfect 6-pack abs, Jinwoo with his ethereal voice and stage presence, and Yoon’s powerful vocals and performance. Wala na talaga ako masabi kung hindi OH MY GOD =)))) So I’m not sure if I’ll ever mixlr again hahaha kasi marami naman who does it and is more pro about it??? let’s see :)))
Here are some notable thoughts I remember from the concert (sorry more Tagalog here because all the feels)
1. ANG GWAPO NILANG LAHAT. I mean, fo sure I didn’t stan them for visuals (promise talaga! It was really about the music. Sawain ako sa visuals actually) BUT hooooshit. They are different irl. I’ve seen them before in NAIA airport for like.... 10 seconds and like I knew they were really good-looking. BUT ON STAGE. IN FULL PERFORMANCE GLORY. THEIR VISUALS ARE INSANE.
youtube
2. SOLO STAGES. WHERE TO BEGIN. I didn’t know I’d see Mino perform Body live ever (I thought he had retired the song and I’ve accepted it) BUT GOOD LORD. The “mashup” for Body and TOTL was just made to be together. The stage and performance was oozing with sexiness and charisma and my mind was just a puddle at this point. Mino doesn’t do full-on sexy very often (am I right? It’s like between deliberate sexy and swag, he’d go for more swag) so when he did this... live... the body rolling... the kinda grinding.... we died.
3. JINWOO. Jusko. Where to start with Jinwoo. I’m rewatching our fancam of his Untitled 2014 performance and it’s the only one who made me feel goosebumps. Especially the part where he went up the stairs and the spotlight was on him, and he was singing so passionately and the audience was just in complete awe. IT WAS A MAGICAL MOMENT I CAN’T EXPLAIN. It’s like as he walked up the stairs and sang, it was like he was taking his rightful place as a superstar. Jinwoo is not even my bias but I super kaduper want him to succeed and become more confident with this abilities (I am speaking from someone who watched Who is Next haha). After his solo stage, my immediate first thought was: JINWOO IS READY TO HAVE A SOLO ALBUM.
4. YOON’S SOLO STAGE. Lol I cried. Ever since I’ve heard It Rains (his solo song), I’ve wanted to hear it live, but I didn’t expect that he’d sing it ever again--maybe he’d sing Wild and Young but not It Rains. The arrangement was “simple” but the experience was HOLY. As in, it was like angels were singing. His clear and strong voice filled the whole arena. The adlibs he did were insane. Literally it was like going to church. The lights and the background visuals were stunning. Sobrang full on drama / rocker Yoon mode! It is something to behold live. Also... INSTINCTIVELY. I also never thought I’d see Yoon perform with a guitar ever again. (Ang drama?? never talaga?? hahaha but I never know with Yoon kasi! He’s so experimental with genres that when he’s already done something already, it might take a long time for him to comeback [in this case, to his rocker roots]). When he took off his blazer... BAKLA SIGAW TALAGA AKOOOOooooo =)))) Looking at him perform like this, I can’t believe he didn’t go solo. I know he’s happier with a group (and I am thankful) but his presence as a solo artist is still very much there. I hope Yoon can release his solo album soon because Liz and I will definitely fly again to Korea when that happens!!! :)
>>>[OPEN FOR A SURPRISE]<<<

5. HOON. How so even begin writing about Deputy Lee’s stage. He performed Ringa Linga (modified with Hoon’s rap which was a cool touch I think) and Serenade (EVERYONE’S WAITING FOR THIS). I don’t know where haters get the idea that Hoon can’t dance. Like... are you guys BLIND?!?!? He’s one of the most naturally gifted dancers I’ve ever seen--because he dances to feeling**, not with just choreo. Ringa Linga was a perfect choice for him because he was able to showcase his vocals, dancing prowess and abs all at the same time. The dance breaks were insane. AND MY GOD, Hoon’s body is perfection. His arms, torso, legs... ART.
6. The costumes, lights (LIGHTS), pyrotechnics, over-all stage design was just A++++. I don’t know why I thought it was going to be a much simpler stage but they really went all-in with everything.
7. The nebula ocean was beautiful. I keep saying in the mixlr... “I’ve never seen so many Inner Circles in my entire life” because it’s true! For some reason there is a notion that we are a small fandom and maybe that’s true compared to others... but we are not less powerful. At least 99% of seats were taken, the standing was packed. Everyone was doing the fanchants. Almost everyone had the lightstick. It was humbling and inspiring to see all the fans who love WINNER come together in one venue, screaming their voices out and singing to the songs (while still being respectful and attentive to each stage performance).

8. The boys really love each other. As in, you can feel their chemistry and their teamwork onstage. Of course, I don’t understand the ments while it was going on (by now I’ve seen the translated fancams of course) but I can definitely tell from their body language and the way they regard each other that they are brothers. And they were just so happy! Running to and from the stage, taking fan’s phones, they were on FULL-ON fanservice. I could feel the love from where I was sitting.
9. I want to pick my favorite stages but I don’t know how. It was surreal to shout “Neol johahae!” for REALLY REALLY and answer Hoon’s pizza pasta so so with “YUM YUM!” =))))) Sobrang surreal na nangyayari siya sa harapan ko at hindi sa Youtube (with subtitles). Love Me Love Me stage was super cute, Moviestar was tear-inducing. Speaking of Movie Star, the fan event was so funny! They were really surprised because it happened right smack in the middle (usually it happens at the end, but they were expecting it kasi). All four of them were very confused and I feel like they really didn’t see the video as much because they were busy being... confused with what was happening. But when they understood they look like they were touched and slightly cross that we were able to fool them HAHA.
Also:
MINYOON
MINYOON
MINYOON
10. There were many cute moments of ICs that I witnessed. Like, before the concert started, they were playing WINNER songs on the screen. Then suddenly, Body was played. Inner Circles all screamed =))) BASTA SOBRANG FUNNY. During Mino’s kissing scene, half of ICs were turned on, half were saying “Nooooo” =))) Then during encore, we were supposed to sing We Were (as in the whole song). When it was already the second stanza, the singing became softer and softer, because it was apparent that ICs haven’t memorized the lyrics. Everyone laughed hard. IT WAS SOOOOOO CUTE T_T
BONUS:
After the concert, we kinda rushed to the back exit to wait for WINNER. Lol it took more than an hour for them to come out (of course lots of picture-taking, maybe even speeches for the team, etc etc). We saw Yang Hyun Suk (ICs began to chant his name too #insidejokefromtheconcert and sure ako labas sa ilong yun hahaha), PO, Jinwoo’s dad, Yoon’s mom, most of the dancers (Gahee my love were you there) to name a few.
Again, it was a tender moment because the van was supposed to “cover” their exit from the door, but the fans cried “Noooo” and begged security to let us see them :)) So after a few minutes, the van adjusted its position, so WINNER could walk out and wave to the crowd outside. They looked very very very happy and thankful to see us. <3
---
We met with some of the PH-ICs again to talk about the concert IN TAGALOG PARA TODO YUNG FEELS :))) I can’t wait to see everyone again in November!
---
Aaaaand by 12 am we were back in our hotel after getting lost in Dongmyo exit HAHA. Can’t blame us, all our braincells were left in the Olympic Park Stadium :)) It was really a memorable experience that we hope we can repeat for sure on November (WHICH IS MY BIRTHDAY MONTH). Aiming for nearer seats this time, but let’s see what the universe will give us.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I thought if I finally see WINNER live I’d be finally scratching an itch--like I’ve already see them live and that’s that. But NOOOOOooooooOOOOOooo. It’s completely the opposite. Now YouTube and mixlrs are not enough anymore T_T When you’ve seen them live... you just want to repeat the experience over and over again.
To all Inner Circles still reading up to this point: CONGRATS and THANK YOU:))
Also, my god. You can forget everything you’ve read up to this point but just remember this.
SEE
THEM
LIVE.
See them live.
I am not kidding around. You should, at least once in your life. Even if it’s just General Admission ticket or the farthest seat***. It’s different when you are in the same venue and you see them performing LIVE right in front of your very eyes. In my opinion, Yoon’s voice is 10x better live---recording absolutely does not do him justice. Same with the Mino, Jinwoo and Hoon. Their vocals, dance skills, over-all charisma cannot be simply captured by the camera. YOU HAVE TO SEE THEM LIVE TO KNOW WHAT I MEAN, WHY I’M SO ADAMANT ABOUT THIS :)))) I’ve seen performers that are exactly the same live as they are in YouTube or sound the same like Spotify but I can say with complete confidence: not WINNER. I can say their true strength is live performance.
I’m sure I’ve missed a lot but this is becoming a research-paper already HAHA so I’d end it here. SO glad we pushed for this trip, so blessed that everything worked in our favor (we were the last flight out before the NAIA airport incident happened huhu) and we’re already looking forward to November in MNL****! :)
till then bye~
P.S. If you want to chika more or need me to translate the Filipino bits lol just hit me up on teh Ask :)
*we saw at least 2 big Yoon masternims that we avidly follow talaga, 2 european ics we follow (lol “european” what is dead giveaway lol) and 1 of the 3 japanese KSY fans we also like HAHA so cute T_T
** I’m not a dancer, but my boyfriend is, and I remember him saying that personally he has more respect for dancers who dance according to what he feels--because it’s one of the highest forms of expression (as opposed to just relying with choreo). It’s a testament to a dancer’s ability that he/she is able to catch the beat without “thinking” about it too much--so the dance becomes the story of the dancer, not the choreo. LOL I think I’m botching his explanation about it but it’s just I remember Hoon whenever my boyfriend and I talk about freestyle dance.
*** Of course it you can’t make it due to various reasons that’s okay, but if you have a chance to make it happen, don’t hesitate. I’d say it’s worth every penny you’d spend to see them live.

Nora Reads HS Part 66
Pages 6056-6093
Hey guys! Things got busy busy busy with work and the holidays, but like Slim Shady, I am back. Last time we got brief introductions to Jane and Jake, the post-Scratch young Nanna and Grandpa, respectively, and it was interesting to see how the modern setting meshed with their old-timey dialogic idiosyncrasies. I’m very much looking forward to (hopefully!) meeting young Mom and Bro this time around and learning what they’re like. So far all I know for certain is that Bro is as elusive as his pre-Scratch counterpart, and Mom and Jane are, like, BFFsies or something. I feel like we’ve gotten some minor sneak peeks into their personalities after seeing adult!Mom’s pink, girly bedroom in the Skaianet lab, and... oh god... from Bro’s awful comics. How will these quirks translate into fully-fleshed teenagers, and just how fucked up will young Bro be?
Let’s find out! ^0^
*click*
Jane: Answer Lalonde.
OH MY GOD SHE IS SO FUCKING CUTE. We are 2/2 on post-Scratch girls being GODDAMNED ADORABLE. I love her little pink phone, and her mutant kitty symbol, and her hair curlicue, and her tights under her skirt (are those leg warmers?), and her... martini?? Ok, so, these kids are still kids, right? If this is November 2011 and Jane’s thirteenth birthday was 3 years ago, then young Mom should only be just about to turn seventeen. Adult Mom obviously had a habitual hankering for hooch, but it’s weird and kind of worrying to see that carry over into her teenage self. Anyway, let’s see what she’s got to say!
tipsyGnostalgic [TG] began bothering gutsyGumshoe [GG] at 11:24
Huh, so she’s got Dave’s pesterchum initials, and not Rose’s. Come to think of it, Jane has Jade’s initials, and not John’s. So then I guess I’d expect Bro to have Rose’s initials... which is odd. Anyway, her handle seems to confirm that she’s a drunk-o teen (where is Rose during all this??), and may possibly be awake on Derse, even if, like Dave, she doesn’t know it.
TG: jane
PINK TEXT AAAAAH CUTE
TG: hey
TG: jaaaney
TG: ansrew plz
TG: *answer
TG: jaaaaaaaaaane
GG: Omg.
JESUS, MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. So like... she not only has Dave’s initials, but she fucking talks like him??? And is apparently legit drunk during the day. Like I said, that bit is concerning, but I admit it is fucking hilarious that she talks and acts nothing like Rose. No wonder the poor kid had such a hard time understanding her.
GG: Overreact much? I kept you waiting for all of two seconds!
GG: Where have you been today?
TG: nowhere just chilling here
TG: when all of the sudden
GG: "All of a sudden."
TG: when all of the sudden
Hahaha, I know someone who consistently says ‘all of the sudden’, and it hurts me not to correct them all the time. (They also say ‘yield’ instead of ‘wield’, and how could you ever think ‘unyieldy’ was a word.) And let it not go unremarked upon that I fucking LOVE that Mom just repeated herself anyway. Didn’t Dave do that once or twice when someone tried to correct him?
TG: it hits me
TG: thaf we have somethig really fuckin important to talk about
GG: This hit you just now? We made plans to get in touch early this morning, and I have seen neither hide nor hair of you all day.
TG: it hits me that
TG: jakes bday is coming up really soon
TG: just a few days before mine remembr
Hmm, so their birthdays are the same as their pre-Scratch counterparts. Also, heh, I get the feeling that Jake’s birthday was definitely not what they’d made plans to talk about.
TG: or i guess it would be if it wasnt for the end of the world thats about to happen
GG: Oh, for Pete's sake.
Whoa whoa whoa!! So Mom knows enough about the game to know that it’s going to end the world. Not even Jade, with her ‘precognitive’ abilities, knew that ahead of time. Hell, Aradia only knew because she was in communication with ghosts, and Sollux didn’t figure it out until right before it happened. I guess that’s where the ‘gnostalgic’ comes in. (Side note: that’s a really clever portmanteau and I’m almost jealous I didn’t think of it.)
TG: i just wanted your advice on what to get him
TG: something sentimental i guess? but i mean im mostly tapped out of precious heirlooms atm so idk
TG: but not like anything coming on too strong
TG: something that says
TG: this is totes platonic and everything
TG: no eyebrow raising funnybiz is goin on over here
TG: but still says you know
TG: call me
TG: if you wanna
...Aaaaaand Mom has the hots for Jake, apparently. Huh, that’s kind of fucked up in a way, considering her adult self hooked up with John’s Dad. Oh god, that pairing isn’t going to carry over to her liking Jane’s Dad, is it??
I wonder how difficult it was for Hussie to type out ‘totes’.
GG: Grrr.
GG: Now I know you're joking around to get my goat.
To get it, and then, say, tote it?
TG: ahaha
TG: yeah
TG: the goat getting thing i mean
TG: but joking oh no i think not
TG: u dont think that if i didnt say he was off limits on account of you being my best friend
TG: i wouldnt be all the hell over that????
So... Jane and Jake are already dating?? I guess that is the prescribed ‘canon’ pairing, so that makes sense. Does Mom LittleLonde—that’s what she’ll be from now on—also have the hots for young Bro then? Or maybe she just wants to bone everything/everyone. I can feel that.
TG: daaaaamn
TG: that rugged senseof adventure
TG: the delightful silly vernacular thats like
TG: weirdly and bewitchingly not self aware
TG: those adorbable teeth
TG: swoooooooooon <3
Yes, those are definitely all swoonworthy things. ...Hah, I can totally deal with ‘adorabable’. It’s weird, but after reading all the trolls’ quirks, I kind of skip over the typos unless she calls them out herself.
GG: Nooooo, stop. :(
TG: well shit jane
TG: what am i even supposed to do
TG: i cant hit on anybody and appaprently i can entertain nary a frisky THOUGHT about anyboby because apparentley evrybodies OFF LIMITS!!!!!
TG: *buncha goddamn typos
TG: shit suuucks
TG: you dont even let me say your dad is hot even though we both know he way the fuck is i mean come one
TG: *one
TG: *on
GG: Yeah. Because it's weird!
OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE HER. I mean yeah, it is pretty damn weird that she’s still got... daddy issues... but, ‘*buncha goddamn typos’?? Anybody would be lucky to have her.
...Huh. Now that I’m thinking about it, is Jane’s Dad exactly the same as John’s Dad? They look the same, but... how would that even work? Maybe he was adopted, and isn’t actually related to John and Jane at all, so his existence and physical appearance aren’t contingent upon anything game-related?
GG: And you're drunk. :P
TG: correction
TG: drinking
TG: prensent tense
TG: grammar jane
GG: I don't see why you don't try to court the favor of Mr. Strider. If you ask me, he and you are perfect for each other.
Again, a ‘canon’ pairing getting called out. Are they going to be played straight, or hilariously subverted like Karkat’s shipping grid?
TG: oh jane
TG: so naive
Silly Jane; he’s clearly only into plush rump. *shudder*
TG: soooo niaev
GG: Lordy.
GG: How can you be this far gone so early?
GG: It isn't even noon yet.
Yes, that is a very good question. Weirdly, I’m glad that this is at least getting called out; if her being drunk were played just for laughs, it might have been a bit distasteful. Addiction is an issue I’m rather painfully familiar with. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, if it does.
TG: you forget we live in very different time zones
TG: its a lot later here
GG: You're three hours ahead of me!
TG: youd would be amazed
TG: how much can happen
TG: in 3 hours
She’s not like... already entering the game, is she? And she does still live in New York, right?
GG: Tsk. What would your mother have to say if she caught you?
TG: p sure she wouldnt give a shit
TG: i mean
TG: shes the one who stocked thegod damn liquor cabinets in the firts place
TG: i dont even think she ever had a drop in her life probably
TG: so why else is she puttin it there it was like
TG: a passive aggrassive dare for me
TG: *aggressive
TG: jut the sort of mind game she would play
HOLY SHIT, what is going on here?? I’m a bit surprised that LittleLonde would have the same contentious relationship with her ‘Mom’ that Rose did, given their wildly different personalities and LittleLonde’s cheeriness so far. But she has a good point; if Rose doesn’t drink, then is the liquor cabinet just... some sort of test she’s putting LittleLonde through, and refusing to step in when she fails it? That’s fucked up.
GG: So even if your insane and paranoid theory happens to be true, your response is, "Screw it! Time to help myself to all this mind game booze."
TG: yuuuuuuuuuuuup
TG: pppp mcuh
Yeah, stick it to the Man. :\
GG: Groan. You are completely impossible like this.
GG: I cannot believe you chose to do this today of all days. I should have known better!
GG: Here I am waking up bright and early, waiting all day with my nose pressed against this glass for the mail to come and wondering if you'll ever log on, and all the while you are just getting blind stinking schnocker-bottomed drunk.
*steals ‘schnocker-bottomed’ for my own vocabulary*
TG: watcha waiting for
TG: in the mail
TG: is something happening today or something
GG: &%#$@!!!
GG: The alpha!
GG: Jeez-Louise, you are hopeless.
TG: oh yeah
TG: that thing
Ahahahaha. I can’t fucking get over how adorable it is that she’s basically cutesy girl!Dave when it comes to being slightly ditzy and forgetful. And NO, Chrome; you are not going to autocorrect ‘ditzy’ to ‘ditsy’, that’s dumb.
GG: Are you at all ready to play if it comes?
TG: i guess
TG: but
TG: you sure you even want to play this thing
TG: u know its just what the batterwitch wants you to do
GG: Not this again.
WOW, WELP. 8|
So it looks like LittleLonde knows exactly what’s going on, and knows that the Batterwitch intends to interfere somehow with the new Sburb session. That’s an interesting twist, having a drunk oracle who no one will take seriously because she’s ””schnocker-bottomed””.
TG: if you want to go ahead and be a chump jane its ur call im just saying
TG: i know what a chump looks like
TG: and you dont look like no chump i ever saw
TG: if you go thru with this ill have to add your porfile to my chump roll
Heh heh. (AAH THAT PAGE QUOTE.)
GG: The "Batterwitch" DOES NOT EXIST!
GG: It is an idiotic urban legend.
GG: How many times have I explained this? My great, great grandmother who founded the company and is accused of holding this identity would have to be almost two hundred years old if she were still alive today. The idea is such preposterous hogwash it's hardly worth dignifying with a rational response.
[Insert obligatory “It’s more likely than you think.”] Gosh, I can foresee her refusal to believe what’s going on being frustrating later down the line.
GG: The iconic face of the company isn't even a real person! She was fabricated long ago during the company's fledgling years.
BECAUSE THE REAL FOUNDER WAS AN ALIEN, DUNKASS. ...Yep, already a bit frustrating. We’re not at Wheel of Time levels of miscommunication/trust issues yet, though.
TG: right
TG: as
TG: you know
TG: an alter ego
TG: for somethig more sinister
GG: Such cuckoobird nonsense.
AAUUUGHH, no fucking wonder LittleLonde drinks.
GG: Have you even obtained your copy yet??
TG: um
TG: heh
TG: yes "obtianed"
TG: suuure did
GG: Through your various technologically crypotgraphic means, I presume?
TG: oh you bet
TG: hacked the SHIT out of those TIGHT mainframes and all
TG: said jackpot like
TG: a BUNCH of times
TG: all those
TG: cyhpers and bobbytraps
TG: backdoor trojans and what not
TG: were no match
TG: 4 mai codez
TG: snicker
GG: :|
Jesus, this sounds like Dave trying to talk about sports. Or, Hackers. Does LittleLonde actually know what she’s talking about?
GG: I am quizzically narrowing my eyes trying to solve the joke you are attempting, assuming it even is one.
TG: ok jane what im saying is that
TG: in the parlance of baking cause i know that is what gets you off
TG: is that
TG: it was a fuckin cakewake
TG: **cakewalk
GG: Oh.
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I LOVE THIS GIRL.
TG: like by wich i mean not to say hur hur im hottest shit haxxor bitch you ever knew
TG: as deadlay to the corporate grid ass she is beatuiful
TG: which i AM but
TG: what i mean is shit wasnt even guarded
TG: it was just
TG: some files
TG: that were there
TG: unsecured
TG: and i took them
TG: jacked them right offa that intraweb telematrice
TG: then applied lipstick
TG: femme fatale style
TG: and was like shit yes i ALL KINDS of know how to use my web browser to download serveral files
I’M FUCKIN’ WEEPING
GG: Hrm. That is a bit puzzling. I thought this software was highly proprietary.
TG: i told you
TG: she wants you to play
TG: wants us all to
TG: part of her BIG PLANS
TG: and ur playing right into em
TG: like
TG: a
TG: chhhhhhhhhhhhh....
...ode?
Anyway, this would seem to lend credence to the idea that the Batterwitch is Earth’s new First Guardian, pulling the strings from behind the scenes the way Doc Scratch did with the trolls in order to further her employer’s designs.
GG: Ump, yes, I know. You've made yourself clear.
Dammit.
GG: But what doesn't add up about your story is,
GG: I believe SOMEBODY doesn't want me to play.
GG: How else do you explain the recent attempts on my life?
Whoa, what? Like, assassination attempts, because she’s the heir to Betty Crocker? Looks like LittleLonde might not be the only one who understands that there is something very... fishy going on.
TG: orrrr
TG: its just more connivings of the witch
GG: So this hypothetical monstrosity wants me to succeed, but also wants me to die?
GG: Makes a lot of sense!
TG: wouldnt put it past her
TG: makes you feel perpsecuted
TG: redoubles your determination to play
TG: u advance her plans in whatever incomprehensible way
TG: until suddenly you did evrything she needed you to
TG: at which point you become craaaaazy expendable yo
TG: and then
TG: she expends you
TG: like a wad of boondollars on shitty bc merch
Seems a bit more convoluted than Doc Scratch’s approach, if such a thing were even possible. ...On second thought, no, literally nothing could be more convoluted than Doc Scratch. Maybe it’s not convoluted, per se, and more just really, really bad planning.
GG: I see. This is sounding less like a crackpot conspiracy theory by the minute!
TG: w/e alls im saying is a bunch of stuff thats def true to the max
I know it would break with the naming scheme, but could LittleLonde be named Cassie? Or just Cass? That would fit.
TG: my drunk butts tune will stay as unchanged as it will remain un not drunk
Spoiler: she farts in F#.
TG: makr my barley corerent words
She’s self-aware, if nothing else. Does she drink beer?
GG: If years ago someone told me, which incidentally someone DID, that today I would have an exclusive opportunity to play what is absolutely the most cutting edge immersive simulation game ever released, developed by a company which has already done so much for the advancement of humanity, I would have said, "Shucks, buster, sign me up!"
Uh, well, who told her years go? Was it LittleLonde?? Because you’d think that would lend some credence to her claims, but noooOOoooo.
TG: jane
GG: Yes?
TG: jaaaane
GG: What!
TG: jane
TG: did u know
TG: that i am uttrely
TG: IN LOVE
TG: with the fact that
TG: i have a best friend
TG: who says things
TG: like
TG: shucks buster
littlelonde
did u know
that i am uttrely
IN LOVE
with u????
GG: Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
TG: wtf
GG: The thing.
GG: The flappy thing!
The little red arm-swingy-dealy! (Btw it’s called a semaphore. Also that took me a second to cotton on to and at first I had this image of Flappy Bird??)
GG: THE FLAPPY SWINGY DOODAD.
GG: THE ARM DEALIE.
GG: THE DEALIE, LALONDE, THE DEALIE!!!
TG: wut
<3 <3 <3
GG: IT'S UP, IT'S UP, IT'S UP.
TG: i dont get a lotta mail out here and im no mail expret
TG: *expert
TG: but
TG: doesnt that mean not the right thing
TG: like ur susposed to put it up if you want something taken away not have the guy put it up if mail comes
TG: i think your mail man is quiet possibly a dumbass
Or your author; one of the two. :P
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW.
But wait, perhaps that is not so much the distinguished Inspector Clouseau as it is...
‘really fucking stupid’? That’s my guess.
THE WORLD RENOWNED INVESTIGATOR HERCULE POIROT, BECAUSE THE LITTLE CURLY MUSTACHE IS A LOT CUTER.
DAMMIT.
The great Poirot, in THIS house?? Such an honor. I will set the kettle to boil straightaway. Who would have guessed this home would be so heavily trafficked by famous French detectives at this time of day?
Followed by Dupin and Lecoq?
...Aaaaand it’s another character select! This seems to follow the pattern of the mess of photographs from Act 5; I click on characters one by one, then when I’m done, I click the link at the bottom of the page and move on. Hmm, hovering over LittleLonde and Bro shows location markers I can’t click, but which confirm they live in New York and Texas like their counterparts. Also, I realized that we’re continuing the trend of the post-Scratch kids’ color themes matching their pre-Scratch counterparts’ sprites. That means Bro will be typing in orange, most likely.
Back to Jake!
And just like that, back to Jake. What was it you were up to? Oh right, you were going to pick these dang guns up off the floor when you were interrupted by some fleeting imperceptible thought. You kind of space out sometimes.
For some reason the word ‘dang’ is inherently hilarious to me, especially when paired with ‘ol’. I have a friend who says “dang ol’ ___” all the time, and it cracks me the fuck up.
What’s up with all the vines, btw? No timeline shenanigans to steal Jade’s pumpkins?
You pick up your TWIN M9 BERETTAS, weapons of choice in an absurd arsenal inherited from an eccentric old woman.
Guns are so cool. Your GRANDMA was rad.
So Jade is dead, just like John. Booo. :’(
It's your authentic TOMB RAIDER SEXY THIGHSTRAP DOUBLE HOLSTER, complete with cool skullbuckle and everything. You like to think you pull it off about as well as Croft herself.
Uh, well, alright then. Nothing wrong with that.
You like to think that, but in truth you look ridiculous. You think you probably need shorter shorts to make it work? Probably skin tight shorts too. As it is, the cuffs of your baggy shorts get kind of bunched up underneath the thighstraps, which is uncomfortable and makes you look like a tool.
BAHAHAHAHA. Now, if Heero Yuy had tried to wear it...
> Jake: Examine bed.
Ooh, yes, this ought to be interesting. What’s up with his sheets?
You think your bed is some sort of electronic gadget. You're pretty sure those bedpost globes are supposed to glow like light bulbs under certain circumstances. But you've never been able to figure out what purpose it serves. Just more mysterious junk inherited from your eclectic GRANDMA.
HOLY SHIT, IS IT A QUEST BED??? Did she like... expect him to get killed before the game even started?? What would it do if he died on it outside the Incipisphere?
Movies are so great. You have never seen a movie you didn't like, you are pretty sure. People give you a hard time for that though. Gosh you love movies. Almost as much as you love skulls. And movies that have skulls in them? Oh my god.
Well then I bet he REALLY would have dug the fourth Indiana Jones movie that mercifully died in pre-production because the concept was so stupid.
Jake: Scope out those blue chicks.
You are oft-times the recipient of a good ribbing from Jane on account of your peculiar fascination with blue movie ladies. You don't have to justify yourself to her though. What is even her deal? Any fella would be off his ROCKER not to fawn over all these BODACIOUS BLUE KNOCKOUTS. You want to make out with all of them.
Well, Jane is a girl, and she’s sort of blue-themed... Not to mention she’s, like, canonically destined to end up with him.
I’m not sure whether that’s more or less respectable than John trying to kiss his Nic Cage poster.
Dear, sweet Neytiri from James Cameron's Avatar.
Oh, if only you were the one who could have overcome his paralysis on an alien adventure planet to become her boyfriend, instead of that other guy.
Incidentally also named Jake, IIRC.
Then she could have shown you how to be bold and courageous, and stand up to fight for your people, and maybe later, engage in a bizarre extraterrestrial reproductive process involving ponytails, and a magical tree you guess?
Wait a second... a Page who imagines himself as a paralyzed guy on an adventure planet, who wants to learn from a blue chick to be bold and courageous, and then engage in a bizarre extraterrestrial reproductive process??
wHY DOES THIS SOUND, fAMILIAR,
:::;)
You'll show that curmudgeonly Strider who's just a gigantic shitty space furry.
PAHAHA. So young Bro is curmudgeonly, and has a vocabulary similar to Dave’s. I don’t doubt Hussie’s skill, but I’m still REALLY interested to see how Dave’s Bro is going to be transformed into an actual character, with like... feelings and stuff.
You will show him what marvelous creatures they are. You'll show him what a daring dream it is, to combine the finest qualities of humanity with...
Oh no, not this again
She says you sound just like John when you say stuff like that though, and that the two of you would get along famously. You can't wait to meet him.
THEY WAIT. I can’t wait until they meet either! I know that Act 6 is broken into many “”sub acts”” and I wonder how long we’re going to beat around the bush before the meetup happens.
Also there are some Cage flicks there. But who doesn't love a good Cage flick? Nobody is who. Dang, you would kill to get your hands on some authentic Cage movie memorabilia. But that'll probably have to remain a crazy dream.
Did... did he not realize before he sent Jane the bunny... :|a
AND HE EVEN STILL HAS ONE. Wait, how the hell did he get two bunnies??
The TRANSMATERIALIZER you have been using to ship it back and forth is wired to sync up your flow of time with hers, so it's not like you can just take forever with it, and send to the exact time she needs it - you've thought of that!
I don’t think this is happening exactly the way you’re imagining... Granted I don’t think anybody could have accurately guessed at what was really happening without copious hints.
Sure is gonna be a sweet gift. Reminds you a lot of the old ratty bunny you inherited from your GRANDMA, who of course is exactly who you are collaborating with to make this thing. Time loops make you feel a bit fuzzy in the head, but you've always suspected it could very well be the same bunny.
Phew, so he’s not a total numskull. That’s good.
At some point in the early 20th century, Jade gave this robo-rabbit to John, and then later it must have been wound up back with Jade... somehow? Then she... uh... removed all the robot parts, hung on to it until she was an old woman, and gave it to you?
Seems legit.
Jade tells you this little rabbit here, or Terry Kiser as you like to call him, will save John's life!
Terry... Kiser... fuck, I’m fucking dead. Creatures/objects having different names between kids is one of my favorite running jokes. Meowgon Spengler, or Vodka Mutini? Dear, sweet Casey, or Viceroy Bubbles von Salamancer?
In fact, this project gave you a neat idea for what to do for Jane's 13th birthday a couple years ago. You and your other pals all coordinated gifts, each sending a customized rabbit. Lalonde happened to have another bunny heirloom like yours, and Strider... well, Strider was resourceful as usual.
OH LAWD, I don’t think I’m ready for the smubbit.
If John enjoys his gift anywhere near as much as Jane did, then it will be time well spent.
Which is to say, he’ll appreciate the thought but ultimately feel pretty ambivalent about it?
You have been plundering all of your devices for uranium to refuel the TRANSMATERIALIZER, which requires huge amounts of power any time it sendificates or appearifies the package from the past. Seems to you like excessive energy consumption for just a simple time machine, but what do you know? Unless it's doing something besides shipping it across time. You couldn't imagine what, though.
Ok, but even time travel requires 1.21 gigawatts, and that’s nothing to sniff at. ...Never mind, actually I looked it up and 1.21 gigawatts isn’t even all that hard to produce!
As much as it troubles your pride to admit, this project wouldn't be possible without help from your other two technologically savvy friends. And you are slowly coming to the regrettable conclusion that you will not be able to solve this uranium dilemma without asking for Strider's assistance. He's your best bro and all, but the dude never makes anything easy.
...Uh, what the hell does Bro know about... And how the hell would he get his hands on uranium?? Hm.
Hah, that’s pretty cool! It’s like tile Tetris.
You stash Terry in your PUZZLE MODUS. It's quite a handy modus, allowing you to captchalogue objects of any size, as long as you can fit them all in a finite space by maneuvering the cards around like a big game of Tetris.
Heh heh.
The space in your inventory is mainly hogged up by one incredibly huge thing. You guess you should get rid of it. But you can't shake the feeling you might need it someday, and you don't want to risk ditching it and be caught with your pants down later.
WHOA HOLY SHIT. What the hell is it?? And what do you want to bet that he’ll accidentally deploy it early, or lose it or something? ...Is it a giant matriorb?
Hmm, lots of Knight references over in this corner. Something to do with Dave or Karkat? I’m guessing Bro isn’t going to be a Knight if none of the other kids share classpects with their counterparts.
On your worktable there are a few comic books starring your favorite heroine of all, SPIDER-GIRL. You don't know what it is, but there's something about a girl who has spidery powers and a sassy attitude that is just so cool to you. It's just another quirky fact about you that definitely doesn't have any greater significance, and never will.
Oh GAWD. Is he going to end up with a similar arc to Tavros? Run into Vriska in a dream bubble and become the new Pupa Pan?
Well, as long as one of your preposterously numerous computers has spilled out of your sylladex, you might as well stop procrastinating and contact Strider to... hang on.
Maybe later.
AAAAAH IT’S MYSTERY TROLL! Let’s see what she has to say! Normally I’d be miffed about missing out on kidchat, but this is fine. Also, troll computer!
uranianUmbra [UU] began cheering golgothasTerror [GT] at 5:45
...Did I completely skip over his chumhandle last time?? Golgatha is the hill on which Jesus was crucified, and literally means ‘place of the skull’.
UU: hello there, darling. ~3u
It took about half a minute and a lot of head tilting to realize this is supposed to be a winking kissy face. UGH she’s super cute. I do still wonder who she’s supposed to be, because Karkat’s ancestor was almost certainly not female, if my understanding of the Scratch is correct.
GT: Im determined as ever to see this through. But as usual events have conspired to make a boondoggle of the prospect.
GT: I think i might be fucked.
Hah. I love the curses thrown into his otherwise ridiculous anachronistic patter.
GT: Terry needs fuel and i dont have any left. I think im at striders dubious mercy for a solution YET AGAIN.
GT: I will have to ask him for help. And soon.
I still don’t understand how Bro is supposed to help! Is Dave like... a nuclear scientist in this universe, in addition to making a SBaHJ movie?
UU: i relayed the information enabling yoU to create the powerfUl weaponry yoUrself.
UU: and yoU did!
UU: yoU then sent them back in time. yoU may recover them in the rUins, which conveniently is where yoU mUst go to ship the package once and for all.
UU: bangUp plan we hatched, dont yoU fancy? ^u^
GT: I see...
So... he makes the weapons after he enters the game, when he has access to the punch designix and the alchemiter, and then sends them back in the lotus pod? Interesting.
Gosh, she sure uses a lot of British slang, in addition to Commonwealth spellings. Is there a Troll England?
GT: That is what im doing right? Giving it to my grandma when she was a kid growing up on the same island i did?
UU: that is somewhat close to the trUth, and i can see how yoU woUld draw that conclUsion.
This sounds like Hussie’s non-sarcastic stock response to wacky fan theories.
UU: perhaps a draft of the cascading seqUence from which yoUr reality has arisen will pUt yoUr mind at ease.
UU: imagine two Universes, A and B.
UU: now imagine there are two instances of each Universe, A1 and A2 and B1 and B2.
UU: the first instance of each is like a test rUn, that does not qUite sUcceed.
UU: the second instance thoUgh will meet all of its pUrposes!
UU: now consider that A1 begets A2.
UU: A2 begets B1.
UU: and B1 begets B2.
UU: and the participants of B2 are the ones who will make an effort to exit all this tUrbUlence and falderal.
That’s... actually reasonably straightforward and concise. So the troll universe we’re familiar with is A2, and the original human kids’ is B1. Even though A2 didn’t quite finish the way it was supposed to, its players, along with B1′s, will all gather in the successful B2.
Also, now the flash title ‘Cascade’ makes a lot more sense!
UU: and yoUr yoUng ancestor is another, thoUgh she is "presently" stationed in B1.
UU: and yes she is in the past.
UU: thoUgh not qUite as far as yoU believe!
Just under 3 years, by my count... So all of this collaboration between them happened before the game, and technically if he were able to talk to Jade right at this very moment, it would be a ‘past’ Jade from our perspective!
GT: I remember you mentioned your race doesnt really jive with ours familially speaking?
UU: correct. i never knew those who one woUld identify as my parental eqUivalents. U_U
I don’t suppose the Mother Grub really counts as a ‘mom’ in anything approaching the human sense.
GT: When do i get to learn your name by the way?
UU: hm trUthfUlly?
UU: it may be for the best that yoU never know it.
UU: it coUld stir Up some things best left in their present eqUilibriUm.
Kar...katina? I wonder what the deal is. Is it a whole ‘names have power’ kind of thing?
GT: Just please tell me in the least causally spoilery way possible...
GT: What are we even trying to accomplish here? What is even the rootin tootin POINT of this game?
UU: i think yoU will have more fUn than yoU can imagine finding oUt.
UU: bUt stated concisely, and short of spoilerly as yoU so charmingly pUt it,
UU: yoUr objective today is to pave the way for the arrival of gods.
And after that, it’s finally answering The Ultimate Riddle!
UGH WHY DOES HE HAVE A WHOLE COSPLAY’S WORTH OF LORD ENGLISH SHIT?? D:
You've been taught you should really carry no less than 5 computers on you at all times, like a sensible person.
Teehee, yeah, that’s Jade.
These were also inherited from your grandma.
But why would...
In addition to being quite the globe trotting adventuress, she was rather enterprising as well. Her company made many products like this, to compete with the corporation owned by the cruel baroness who raised her. Sadly, BCCorp eventually crushed her company and forced her into exile.
So not only did she name Jake ‘English’ (if she didn’t take the name herself), but she also manufactured Lord English-themed apparel... to compete with BCCorp?? But Lord English is HIC’s employer. How does that even work??
You have always hoped that when Jane takes over that foul conglomerate, she will right all of its unspeakable wrongs. You know she will! You believe in her, after all.
How very Page of Hope. I’m guessing his arc is going to combine some of Tavros’s Page struggles with Eridan’s lack of Hope. But since this universe is supposed to be the culmination of everything, the universe where everything finally plays out right, hopefully (hah) Jake will be more successful than either of those two. He doesn’t seem particularly shy or inept so far, nor is he a giant bag of dicks, so maybe he’s got the best of those two characters with none of their flaws.
OH MY FUCKING GOD, BRO’S SYMBOL IS A HAT. HOW FUCKING DOUCHEY CAN YOU GET. HE IS LITERALLY GAME BRO JESUS CHRIST.
golgothasTerror [GT] began pestering timaeusTestified [TT] at 5:57
Timaeus...? That’s familiar. *looks it up* Ah! We read Plato’s Timaeus in Philosophy; that’s why. I don’t remember much about it, but according to Wikipedia, it’s mostly hilariously inaccurate theories about the elemental geometric shapes the universe is made of, and there’s some stuff about the creation of the earth, the golden ratio, and Atlantis. Pretty appropriate for a Sburb player, I guess. If there’s any deeper meaning, I suspect I’ll only find out after I’ve been fed more information.
GT: Bro.
GT: Ahem.
GT: Are you there?
GT: I hate to be a pest about this and i know ive made a hearty trouble of myself a good deal lately...
TT: State your business, Jake.
OH MY GOD, HE TYPES LIKE ROSE. Like... for some reason I kind of fuckin’ love that??
GT: I should preface this request with an overture of appreciation.
GT: For how much your cool and brotherly friendship means to me.
Brown-nose harder, Jake. I don’t think your face is satisfactorily wedged into his plush rump.
GT: It has just been...
GT: Absolutely *bully* having a standup gent like you in my corner.
GT: Just a grade a dude whos a cut above the others in class and camaraderie.
GT: Phew... *gropes for fresh kerchief.*
GT: I hope this shit isnt coming across as platitudinous. I really mean it!
Suuuuuure you do. No sarcasm there!
TT: Take it easy, bromide.
TT: Just about the only way I could salvage endearment from this perilous slope of horseshit would be to discover, really fucking soon mind you, it was a preamble to some floundering invitation for me to rush to your vicinity as nakedly as possible.
...Huh. Hmmm. I... Hm. Well, that certainly is a thing that just got said. Gosh, him talking like Rose was so unexpected! I’m not sure what to make of it.
TT: But since we've already shot that wad's eventuality on so many dry runs of flustered ambivalence that were as hilarious as they were one sided,
One-sided on whose part? And... shit, does that mean everybody wants to smang it with Jake? Or is he saying that Jake gets flustered and hits on him?
TT: That leaves only one hope for this message to avoid spiraling toward qualification as a critical fucking defect in the hull of the Mach 10 rocket that is my precious spare time.
TT: And that hope lies in the extent to which you were practicing artful insincerity.
TT: Now's your opportunity to pretend that's what you were gunning for. I suggest you seize it.
*GROOOOOAN* Not this irony horseshit again!!
GT: I...
GT: Oh. Yes! But of course.
GT: The ironies!
GT: Good grief how i was bandying them just now. You know me dude.
Pfffft.
GT: *Blows smoke off red hot irony pistol.*
GT: *NONSUGGESTIVELY!!!!!*
GT: Um.
GT: Yeah.
So I guess it was one-sided on Bro’s part, and he’s a creepy lech in every universe! Yaaaaay.
TT: Ok, nice.
TT: Now that your obsequious preface has been established as indisputably entertaining for all the right reasons, and intentionally so,
TT: Let's bear down on these dire as shit needs you've got.
Urgh, I really do want to hate him, but I also like the way he talks. If he really is sort of a combo of Rose and Dave, some of my favorite characters, then I don’t know... Maybe he’ll grow on me.
TT: I'm guessing you're probably jonesing for uranium about now. No?
GT: Pshaw! As if i would be so reckless with the stuff.
GT: I would have to be mighty irresponsible to run out already.
GT: No no im all set in the uranium department and really when you take a look at the big picture youll find i am *sitting pretty* when it comes to just about any radioactive isotope you could mention.
GT: However...
GT: My backup reserves that i keep strictly for emergencies are running a little lean!
GT: You know what my grandma taught me about preparedness. *Tugs at colorful lapels.*
TT: You are out of uranium.
TT: It's basically mathematically impossible that's not why you're contacting me.
Ok, now I’m REALLY wondering how young Bro is meant to get Jake some uranium. Clearly he’s way smarter than I was prepared to give him credit for, and than his pre-Scratch counterpart implies, but still.
GT: Christ what an insufferable awesome friend you are.
Pffffahahaha.
GT: Ok can you please just sendificate me some more already?? Im in kind of a hurry!
TT: You do know my offer still stands.
GT: What?
It’s blowjobs for uranium, isn’t it.
TT: You know. I've offered to construct the rabbit for you many times before. I would craft a much deadlier model.
Oh. Oh GOD. So, he’s taken his interest in puppets, turned it up to eleven, and he builds robots?? Do they also have giant asses?
GT: Damn it man ive told you this is just something i have to do myself.
GT: Its a promise i made to jade and im going to live up to it even if im not the best or even second best robosmith i know!
I guess the other robosmith is Jade. But is it his Grandma Jade, or is it the young, B1 Jade he’s in communication with?
TT: Yeah, I know this is your policy. You've done a good job and you should be proud.
TT: But it's my responsibility as your friend to offer one last time.
Huh, that’s kind of nice of him.
TT: Just as it's my responsibility not to just fork over a bunch of uranium just because you ask me in a moment of weakness.
...Aaaaaand there we go. Is it weird that I’m getting a Sollux-ish kind of vibe from this guy? Like, he’s got a heart in there somewhere, but is super prickly 95% of the time. Maybe he’s like a durian: thick, spiky outer shell, squishy innards, and smells like a dirty diaper!
GT: Frig!!!!!
GT: Why not???
TT: It's too easy.
TT: And you yourself are the one staking pride in this.
TT: If you were half-assing this project and made some slovenly plea for it, I'd just say, fuck it, here's a lot of green rocks dude, go nuts.
GT: Ok then! Im halfassing it!
GT: Look. See? Only a bisected bottom is present! Where is the other half you ask?
GT: Why... it is nowhere to be found. I didnt use it!
TT: Nope. Not buying it.
HAH. Yes, Bro is frustratingly shitty so far, but I admit I am enjoying this a little.
TT: I know that every ounce of your premium behind can be accounted for in that rabbit, and there's no goddamned denying it.
So he’s an ass man; who’d’ve thunk it.
TT: And you know perfectly well where some more uranium can be located.
GT: Jesus christmas you are such a fucking douche.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Though, where, exactly?
GT: I knew you were going to suggest this. I dont know why i bothered asking!
GT: Strider why must you always be such an obstinate stick in the mud???
TT: It seems that you consider me to be, no less than one hundred percent of the time, an obstinate stick in the mud.
TT: I unironically respect your position on this matter. Hey, let's continue to exchange ideas.
GT: Wait...
GT: "It seems"??
...Eh? *looks back*
TT: It seems you think I am a fucking douche.
TT: That's your opinion, I guess. That's cool.
I guess that is kind of a strange expression to use, especially twice within a very short span of time.
TT: What?
GT: Oh for fucks sake.
TT: Is something the matter, Jake?
GT: This is your auto responder.
OH MY FUCKING GOD, the “”auto responder”” is a goddamn robot, isn’t it.
WHOA WHAT?? Ok, so it’s not a robot. It is... apparently... the Squirtle Squad shades, which young Bro still has. So it’s like Dave’s iShades, I guess, with a computer built into them? Anyway, it looks like we’re in the Strider apartment’s bathroom, which is architecturally identical to the original, same way as the other kids’ houses. Only now there’s robot!puppet shit lying around, and a dumb hat shirt hung on the wall. Where’s Bro himself?
TT: Look at that statement you just made.
TT: It's time for me to respond with some words, ideally chosen and arranged in a way that will wreck your shit, in a subtle and psychologically devastating way.
Jesus CHRIST. He’s Rose, only with the intent to psychologically damage people instead of just analyzing them. I didn’t even consider how fucking dangerous that could be. Er, well, at least his auto responder seems to act that way.
GT: Har har har!
GT: Just soooo "*irooooonic*!!!" Quotes quotes quotes.
GT: Im laughing my caboose STRAIGHT OFF THE TRACKS! A lot of families just died in the tragic derailment.
TT: Ok, the caboose remark was actually pretty funny, Jake.
DAMMIT, I JUST SPIT WATER EVERYWHERE. What a Hussie thing to say.
TT: If I truly were what you say I am, I wouldn't be able to feel the human emotions of joy and laughter. No?
GT: Laughter isnt an emotion dickprince!
Not to mention you just called them ‘human emotions’ like a troll!
TT: I think you should back your claims up with proof before you go heaving around such accusations.
GT: Man its so flipping obvious.
GT: You start getting kind of extra technical and vague and automoton like.
GT: And kind of aloof and brusque.
GT: I mean...
GT: Even aloofier and brusquier than usual!
GT: Also you use the phrase "it seems" a lot. Its so silly it really blows the AI immersion man.
So basically the auto responder is Bro’s actual personality dialed up to eleven? Yeah, I’m totally getting ‘extra douchey’ Sollux vibes from all of this.
TT: Bullshit.
TT: I'm being like, the perfect dude right now. A fully fucking legitimate human being.
GT: Ok then check this out mr legit human dude.
GT: Excuse me sir not to be a bother but could you please tell me all about this strider fellows auto responder?
TT: It seems you have asked about DS's chat client auto-responder. This is an application designed to simulate DS's otherwise inimitably rad typing style, tone, cadence, personality, and substance of retort while he is away from the computer. The algorithms are guaranteed to be 96% indistinguishable from DS's native neurological responses, based on some statistical analysis I basically just pulled out of my ass right now.
AHAHAHAHAHA. Fuck, I think I actually kind of like this kid.
TT: Unimpressed.
TT: Logical fallacies are as pervasive throughout your argument as your antiquated verbal tics.
GT: Oh yeah?
GT: Hey. Tell me about the auto responder. Make it snappy shitknickers!
FUCK ME SIDEWAYS
TT: It seems you have asked about DS's chat client auto-responder. This is an application designed to simulate DS's otherwise inimitably rad typing style, tone, cadence, personality, and substance of retort while he is away from the computer. The algorithms are guaranteed to be 93% indistinguishable from DS's native neurological responses, based on some statistical analysis I basically just pulled out of my ass right now.
GT: Gee dude you sure typed that exact same thing pretty fast.
Not quite! I notice it was 96% indistinguishable last time.
GT: Are you still fucking with me??
TT: It could be a coincidence that I typed the same answer.
GT: You always type that answer!!!!!
TT: It could be a coincidence that I always type the same answer.
GT: Uuuuuuugh.
Hah. Is the auto responder just a series of pre-programmed answers, or is it really legit fucking with Jake’s head here?
GT: I cant stand this. Every time we do this and i just wind up whistling sweet dixie out of my bum hole!
WHAT
THE
FUCK???
GT: This is pointless im not having this conversation unless its with my REAL LIFE FRIEND. THE ONE WITH HUMAN FEELINGS WHO ISNT A PRETEND PERSON INSIDE SUNGLASSES.
Hmm, so the auto responder really is contained inside the shades. How does that even work without all of Sburb’s alchemizing gear? Well, I guess if he can build robots, it’s not so much of a stretch...
Teeheeeeeeeee. <3
He's just so infuriating sometimes! Or at least his responder is. Ok, the real Strider is too.
Dave’s irony and rad slang combined with Rose’s psychological bullshit, infuriating?? WHAT A SURPRISE.
There's barely any difference between them anyway. The responder just uses a few more generic response templates. And even those you suspect the AI is savvy enough to use on purpose for the sake of irony, or to get a rise out of you or whatever. That silicon bastard knows damn well what it's doing.
Hah, well that answers that question I guess. Did it purposefully give itself away?
You shed this ridiculous outfit because you look like an idiot. It's time to get serious here. No more fooling around. You need a more dignified looking computer. A thinking man's computer.
Dad’s Bing Crosby laptop?
> Jake: Wear skulltop.
Sigh.
Much better. You look like you mean business.
You look like a villainous tool!
GT: Jane!
GT: Forgive my botherations. I know this is meant to be a spanking ripsnorter of a day for you and all.
GT: But do you happen to know where the devilfucking dickens mr strider might be?
Ah yes, this conversation, continued previously.
GT: I really need to ask him something but hes got his blasted auto responder turned on.
GG: Hoo hoo.
GG: I love that thing. :B
Huh, I wonder what kind of conversations Jane and the responder have together. Jane doesn’t seem like the type to put up with too much bullshit.
Seriously, what is the deal with the vine? Also I thought that can said ‘Korn’ for a second and flipped out.
You are curious about Jane's dream. Sounds like it almost certainly has to do with your imminent adventure. You'll have to remember to get the scoop on that a little later.
RRUUAAARRRGH.
You have to go downstairs to check something out. You are pretty sure you know what you're going to find though.
Well, that’s mysterious, and a bit ominous.
You almost trip on the vine creeping up the stairs. Stupid vine. It's too bad your grandma's dead. She always had a way with keeping the flora in check.
Hmm. I’ve been talking about how all their houses are the same as the original kids’, but Jake’s is actually rather different. Did her garden get super out of control in this universe?
OH MY GOD IT IS PUMPKINS. And... is that a dreambot capsule?
Yeah, just like you thought. Empty. The thing is out there somewhere. Waiting for you. Oh god.
How can it be waiting for him if he’s awake? :|a
Speak of the devil fucking dickens.
Heh heh. Only, when he said it before, he didn’t put a space in it, and now I’m picturing Satan sticking it to Charles Dickens. So thanks for that image, Hussie.
TT: Hey, it's me.
GT: Oh hey!
TT: The auto-responder, I mean.
GT: Dammit!
Wow, I actually kind of feel bad for the auto responder, if it’s at all sentient.
GT: Dammit!
GT: What is it now?
TT: I'm just wondering,
TT: If you still have your stupid old-fangled knickers in a twist.
TT: Because that's the sort of thing you would say.
GT: In regard to what exactly?
TT: To my proposal. Well, our proposal.
GT: Whose proposal now? Man what are you even prattling about.
So I know I just read what the proposal actually is, but I had a half second of ‘YOU’RE TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED’ before I caught on.
TT: Mine and DS's. It's a joint proposal. I'm always authorized to speak on his behalf, because I'm basically fucking him.
TT: And try not to take those last four words as a clustered literal sentiment. That would be lame and unfunny.
AHAHAHA BECAUSE I LITERALLY JUST DID THAT. Is that also a reference to the curiously spaced ‘devil fucking dickins’ above?
GT: You mean making the rabbit for me?
TT: No, I know you don't want that.
TT: I meant my recommendation for how to go about procuring a new supply of uranium.
TT: Operation U-235 Brocurement. Codename: Big Man Hass the Rock.
Hahaha. So, we know that SBaHJ exists as a movie in this universe, but it seems the comics somehow also exist, unchanged enough that Bro/his auto responder can quote them.
GT: Oh yeah.
GT: Well ive thought about it.
GT: Even went downstairs to check the great vaulty doodad.
GT: And predictably the infernal contraption is nowhere to be found.
TT: Well yeah, Jake.
TT: That's sort of the point.
TT: Thrill of the hunt and all.
Oh jeez. Did Bro like... modify the dream bot or something?? Otherwise why/how the hell would it be hunting him???
TT: I thought you liked to manicure the image of a dude who shits his pants over a good adventure.
GT: I do!
GT: I mean i wouldnt put it in a way like that or come out against a solid policy of clean trousers. But yes adventure is awesome.
Pahahahaha.
GT: I just prefer the idea of adventures which i can actually win.
TT: It seems you are conflating adventure with bodies necessarily governed by the result of victory or defeat.
TT: Any useless fuckwit knows it's all about the journey.
Ok, there’s a few things going on here. Some assumptions we can make:
This uranium-powered robot Jake is looking for is going to try and fight him, a la Equius’s robots.
This has happened before.
Jake generally loses.
Also, I noticed the auto responder said ‘it seems’ again. And finally, “conflating adventure with bodies necessarily governed by the result of victory or defeat” and “it’s all about the journey” sound AWFULLY like Hussie imparting to us some meta commentary about Homestuck itself. I’ve tried to keep away from ending spoilers as much as possible, but I’ve kind of pieced together that reactions to the ending were mixed. Was he sneakily trying to head off any disappointment at the pass here, by reminding us how much we’ve loved what came before?
TT: It seems there is a 76.10395784% chance you are pussying out on me. Are you pussying out on me, Jake?
GT: It seems it seems it seems!!!
GT: It seems there is a million percent chance that you say it seems way too much and do it just to sound more like a lame robot from a movie and also probably just to piss me off!
GT: And it seems there is a BILLION POINT BILLION percent chance that youre a shitty stubborn jerk of a program who wont listen to reason and that if theres even a 1% chance my REAL LIFE FRIEND would be cool and help me out here then i think i LIKE THOSE FREAKIN ODDS!!!!!
TT: It...
TT: Appears
TT: That you are upset.
...If that thing isn’t at least somewhat sentient and intentionally fucking with him, I’ll eat my douchey orange hat.
TT: The auto-responder observed in the least artificially infuriating way possible.
Bahahaha. Yep, I stand by that.
TT: Have you ever stopped to think that while I may be bound to processes inside the glasses of a real and incredibly cool guy, my algorithms in cognitive totality comprise a conscious entity not far short of the experiential and emotional complexity of a human being?
GT: Oh malarkey.
GT: YOU ARE A TIN CAN. ROBOTS DONT HAVE FEELINGS.
...Hmm. Well, I was under the impression that the responder was contained entirely in the shades, but maybe it’s just shades connected to a remote robot body? Also, I really don’t think Jake’s got it right. If the thing is capable of purposefully fucking with him for its own enjoyment, it probably really is capable of emotion, insofar as it was programmed to experience it. Then again, what and why would Bro program it to feel?
TT: I think you knowingly confuse the field of robotics and artificial intelligence to engender some sort of cavalier attitude about technology that a rough-and-tumble guy who's all about brawling and fisticuffs would probably have, and if this is cultivated to a humorous effect then I commend you.
Ohhh, I see. I could have just kept reading. So the responder really is contained within the glasses, and has specifically called itself an AI. This is cool; I love AI tropes! How did it get programmed? Does it resent the fact that it’s confined to a pair of shades? Does it follow Asimov’s laws? :D
TT: But you're wrong.
TT: I do have feelings. And you're shitting on them.
TT: It sucks.
:(
GT: Oh.
GT: Um.
GT: Im sorry then if thats the case.
TT: No problem.
‘I’m sorry if I offended you’? That’s a pretty cop-out apology, but the shades don’t seem to mind.
GT: It can just be difficult to drum up sympathy for a program that presents itself as an impostor so often.
GT: Maybe if you werent so ready to insist you were the genuine article all the time? Or didnt make it so confusing for me...
Well, I mean, the program is technically intended to replace Bro when he’s unavailable to chat, though Jake has a point about it insisting on its false identity.
GT: I think it would be best if we henceforth treated you as a totally distinct... uh... THING from my buddy.
Not ‘person’ or ‘entity’? Damn, Jake, dass cold.
GT: Man where IS he anyway???
GT: Is he taking one of his legendary infinite showers?
TT: What can I say.
TT: Dude fancies his ablutions.
[INSERT MASTURBATION JOKE]
GT: Whatever i guess its time to prepare for the thrill of the hunt!
TT: Fuck yes.
GT: Sigh...
GT: But seriously that brobot has been the bane of my existence ever since you sent it.
WHOA WHOA WHOA. Ok, so it’s NOT a dreambot; it is apparently some sort of... bro...bot that Bro sent him. Was it actually built for the express purpose of fucking with him?
AAAAAAH, ROBOT!! So either Bro really is in the shower, doing whatever (papping?), or else he’s actually a robot. I’m... guessing it’s the former. So who is this little guy? He’s wearing a hat like a tool, but he’s actually kinda cute. A sparring robot a la Equius?
TT: I didn't send it. I sent the parts.
TT: Or, correction, DS sent them.
TT: You then assembled it. You were therefore complicit in your own spectacular, daily humiliations.
GT: Yeah whatever.
TT: You wanted somebody to wrestle with. DS was being a kickass bro if you ask me.
GT: I didn't expect it to be nigh impossible to spar with!!!
Hah. So maybe Bro’s robot isn’t a sparring bot, but Jake’s is, and he sucks at fighting it. Does he just suck at fighting in general, or is it a terrifying deathbot, and therefore justified?
TT: You know damn well there are adjustable difficulty settings.
TT: I have always recommending setting it to Novice, as has DS.
GT: Yes.
GT: I know.
GT: Ive tried that.
TT: Yeah?
GT: Its just...
GT: Well...
GT: When hes pulling punches...
GT: And taking it all easy and such...
GT: And we start wrestling up a storm and whatnot...
GT: Umm.
TT: What.
GT: Its just that the whole proceeding seems to become...
GT: A bit tender for my liking.
Oh dear god.
TT: I don't understand.
TT: Isn't that what you want from a Novice setting?
TT: Sparring with minimal discomfort?
Oh, don’t play dumb; you know exactly what he meant.
GT: Its all fine and dandy martially speaking.
GT: Just the way he...
GT: Sort of...
GT: Man its so awkward trying to convey this just never mind.
TT: No, I think I get it.
TT: You're saying you were somehow dissatisfied within the presence of my robotic avatar's personal space.
Huh, so is the “brobot” an extension of the AI’s awareness? Can it actually control the robot body? In which case, maybe it’s just the auto responder who has a thing for Jake. Is this some kind of ‘if only I were a real boy’ thing? A Pinocchio metaphor certainly wouldn’t be inapropos. Or should I say, INAPROBRO?? :D :D :D
TT: Seriously, what does this simple, loyal brobot have to do to prove his worth to you?
TT: What does he have to do to make you at ease with the alkaline sting of his gentle robogrope? I really want to know.
Eeeecchhhhh. I think I just crossed my legs harder.
TT: Check it out, little green rocks all over the goddamn place. More than you could ever hope to cram in a shoddy metal rabbit, or any other pliable orifice which might be convenient.
Is that a thinly veiled ‘shove it up your ass’? :P
TT: Because clearly its up to a soulless droid to feel emotions for the both of us, you callous, corporeal carbon ape, all trotting around with your fancy fuckin' DNA and shit.
Is this ironic aggravation, or real aggravation? It’s honestly hard to tell.
GT: Fuckin.......
GT: SHUCKS buster. :(
Ahahahaha.
Ok if he wants happy hunting you will GIVE him happy hunting. HAPPILY.
Woo woooooo!! I have no idea where this will go, but he already seems like a much more self-assured Page than Tavros was. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait just a bit to see how it turns out, because that’s all from me for today! I’ve got weekend work coming up (booo) but I’ll do my best to be back as soon as I’m able, and there’s still plenty of fanwork fest backlog I can chip away at.
Until next time! ^0^

okay so the every other night thing didn’t really work lolol but def going to try to update more.
so lots has happened in the past three weeks lol
the first weekend was frankfurt/wiesbaden to see Selin! ah that was such an amazing weekend. took the early ass 6 am train by myself. that was a journey hahah made a german friend on the train. at first i just sat randomly but then a man came and said it was his seat so i was confused because i didnt know that seats were assigned so i asked and i found out that you could reserve seats beforehand but i didn’t so i had to find an empty seat so that was interesting lol. but yeah sat next to this girl, slept a bit, listened to a bit of music. then started talking to her about random stuff. turns out she studied for a year in arizona! so that was cool. but yeah finally got to frankfurt, got off the train and told selin. she was running late so i just hung out at the train station for a little. she finally got there and it was crazy to see her after like 4 years! she looked exactly the same haha. so yeah then we went to this place called palmgarten, its basically a huge park with a bunch of pretty flowers and plants inside huge buildings, like a botanical garden! that was nice to spend a few hours at looking at all the cool plants. it was nice to be in a lil bit a nature haha. after we were hungry so we went to this main shopping place in frankfurt and we went to this mall and ate at this asian fusion place! it was prettyyyyyy darn good haha. after, we just did a bit of shopping, treated myself to a couple shirts hehe. after we decided to walk to the river to walk along it. so we did that, then we decided to go to this place called main tower and go up to the top to see the city from that view. it was soooo pretty! frankfurt is a big city haha. after that we went to this film museum, which at first seemed a little lame, but it ended up being really really cool! we got kicked out bc they closed at 6 haha but then we just started the journey home to wiesbaden! we got back to her house at like 7:30 i think, and her parents had dinner ready! it was this really good turkish meal, it was like thin naan bread with cheese and veggies in the middle ugh it was sooo good. but yeah we just hung out and talked with her parents for a long time haha they were soooo nice and friendly :) then headed to bed decently early since selin and i had done a lot that day
the next morning we woke up, had a dank breakfast, then we headed to a castle nearby!! selin’s mom drove us, so we were able to see the surrounding scenery and we got to see a couple castles! they were so pretty hehe. they were also all next to the rhine river so it was cool to see the river too. we drove thru this pretty town known for their wine. then we took this ferry across the river in the car (which was pretty cool) and went to our main destination. this castle was cool! it had a museum so we could walk thru it and read all about its history and look at all the cool stuff it had. after, we took some pictures and got a coffee at the cafe, then drive back home. her mom dropped us off in the city center of wiesbaden so we could explore. so yeah selin just showed me all around the city, we went to this bath place thing that is now like a casino/ball room and it was so pretty! then we got lunch at this suuuuuuper yummy place called du und ich i think, and it was so freaking good ugh. after we found mac and cheese at a local rewe lol then we walked around a little more, saw the world’s biggest cuckoo clock haha then we went to a bar nearby so she could show me where her friends hung out! we got a couple drinks there and just talked and caught up. after we went to this other place for cocktails and talked more. we spent so many hours talking, it was great! the service at the second place was so shitty lol but yeah we left pretty late and we had to take the bus home so we got back to her parent’s place at like 11:30. when we got back we figured out arrangements to get to the train station since selin was taking the train back to maastricht too. they were so nice and her mom drove me to the train station at like 6am! and her mom packed me snacks for the journey and also made me breakfast ugh it was the cutest :)) but ya that’s it for frankfurt! took the train back to berlin and just hung out because everyone else was getting back from munich.
i genuinely don’t remember what i did during the week lol.
the next weekend... so stammtisch on thursday. went to this bar in mitte and it was alright.. it was super crowded because a like alumni group was also having an event there so it was really hard to order drinks. but somehow was able to order two gin n tonics and a beer lol so i got pretty drunk. the rest of the group wanted to go home early but me and jessy stayed back and hung out. then we just went home a couple hours later, got doner, i ate a piece of my fork lol and then went to my room. then on friday... oh we had the stasi prison tour in the morning. that was alright, just sucked because we couldn’t understand our tour guide. after we went to get schnitzel!!! so good!!!! i got this chili cheese one and it was amazing. its like right near the east side gallery. after we did a lil shopping in this neighborhood that i don’t remember the name of. so yeah we just strolled around, i bought this sweater hoodie drug rug thing that im wearing right now actually ahah. then we all went back, chilled a little, then met up again to cook and eat dinner together. we made some pasta, it was pretty gooood. then we got ready to go out. we ended up going to this club that david wanted to go to, something like ritt burtz or something haha it was in kreuzburg. yeah it was sick! we were nervous we wouldn’t get in so we split into pairs and were silent in line lol and grant went in front of me and the bouncer checked his ID and said he wasn’t old enough so i freaked out and pulled out jayne’s ID but turned out all okay and we all got in ahaha. i ordered a beer then just started vibing alllll night ahaha. chandler left super early, then zach left, then i decided to leave at 3 and go get burgermeister by myself lol. finally got home at 5. passed out.
next morning i wake up and eat my burgermeister leftovers lol then get ready and find out where to pregame for the hertha soccer game!!! messaged matt, he told me a room to meet at, chris’s room. met chris, diane, and madeleine! all super cool and all from BC haha. but yeah we pregamed doing power hour, then we all headed to the game. the girls left first so that we could get more drinks on the way lol. diane and i got a redbull and a tiny bottle of jagermiester lol so we did a jagerbomb on the ubahn platform. then we met up with the guys on the train and headed over. on the way, diane had to pee really really badly so we got off on a random stop and ran around trying to find a bathroom but we couldnt find one we went into this random forest and she popped a squat hahaha. oh i forgot to mention that the night before i peed for the first time in public on the way to the club!!! lolol. anyways we got back on the train and went to the game. we were running late so we ran to find our seats. got there, sat down, watched the game. it was insane! we ended up being in the dortmund section so that was interesting, but there were like specific fan sections and those were crazy. so much yelling and cheering and jumping and flag waving haha. also got a liter of beer and currywurst which was dankkkkk. just realized madeleine never paid me back LOL oh well. anyways, watched the game until the end, then left. we all went to this irish pub in friedrichstr. they had dank nachos. i didnt drink bc i felt like i was gonna die haha. then headed back to the apts with diane and jonathan. went down to meet zach’s twin brother and their friends who were in town. caught up about what had happened the night before lol. then just went to bed!
the next day was sunday, study day for midterms ahha. in the morning we all went to schaffer’s and got brunch. then studied a little. after a couple hours we went back to the apts and i just napped and stuff. then me jessy and chandler decided to go downstairs to the lobby and study. yup that was it!
the week was just midterms. had on monday, two wednesday and one thursday. they all went okay i think haha. on tuesday i explored kreuzburg though! went to ramen with jonathan (soooo good, def going back), then we found this cafe and studied there. he left early bc he had a midterm that day but i stayed until like 6. got home sick from the studying :( then just went home, randomly ran into rae and jessy at ksp! went home, cooked dinner, studied more. took the two on wednesday, then the one thrusday morning, then flew out right after to amsterdam! i ended my german midterm pretty early though so i had time to kill and found this cool cafe where i was meeting david. read for a few hours then headed to the airport!
