homestuck recap

i hated this so fucking much bc my 2 am bitch-ass didnt want to read a recap thats probably longer than any slowburn out there

anyways here it is

also, uhhH sorry im using this as a end of session discussion bc that shit gets explained in her as well. and im not writing up more recaps of a recap so this is where im done for the day. (by done for the day i mean last nights session, im still doing a liveblog soon. i just wrote this yesterday)

also that this is long

you dont have to read it, theres nothing of importance

ive been coping with humor to get me through it

neato.

have fun with what i suffered through:

why was “beta” the only thing unhighlighted?

like did i miss a page???

OH its the beta version of HS thats why

damn its like 5 pages and thats it

mmh

well youll all be happy to know im clicking every single one of these links again bc i like looking back like ahh i remember that. good times. also in case i forgot some shit existed.

do you think andrew had fun writing this? or was he like “fuck”

thats a lot of fucking package talk. good thing im not confused as of now and remember it pretty clearly. of else, this early on in the recap, id be screwed.

god remember when i did an analysis on each item and what it did

i feel as if i have the technology engrained inside my head right now

cruxite, alchemeter, all that jazz

flashbacks are starting up already

yeah, that was the good part in homestuck where i knew 100% that i probably would continue on this liveblog in its entirety, ngl

that one explosion scene. bc it kept me going.

OH W A IT SHIT

i just realized how the intermission spades probably fucking foreshadowed the whole jack revolts thing and gains the ring, which was also technically JOHNS fault considering he slashed up the doll in the first place

my god, i guess thats the only good aspect of the recap. looking back at things and realizing the missing pieces.

oh that makes sense for the whole “this prototyping had no effect on the enemies, since he was already in the medium” i didnt actually think about that

little did rose know where that would get her right now

oh yeah

there’s still the whole entire lab terminal thing and how mom basically knows the place exists. i guess we’re still venturing onto that and itll come up later when we find out how mom knows SO MUCH about the game.

still think shes some weird spy or secret agent

i kinda love her ngl

anyways, theres literally no reason for skaia to produce a cloning machine. so technically, they only sent the meteors in, right? so who put the cloning machine in if not mom?

oh yeah that impact was nerve wrecking asf

and still at this point in the comic i called dave fuckboy red

huh, how times change

i hated reading that whole paragraph ngl, the frustration just kicked me in the boobs again

yeah nobody else got tornadoes, huh?

OH that makes also much more sense

bc she did prototyped them before she entered the medium.

i gotcha

man one of my favorite edits i made, rose hitting that meteor with a bat

are you

telling me

the exiles structures they arrived on were in the form of the items the kids used to enter the medium?

THE EGG

THAT EXPLAINS “EGG”

of course it was 413 years ago. that was never explained. simply vague “many years in the future....” but i expected no less from this

man serenity is the most wholesome character in hs no doubt

damn thought andy here was really gonna spoil us jade’s planet

okay cool, im glad i now have the layout to the whole “their stations went to the coordinates of the home button” shindig

man i honestly dont know what else to say besides “yeah cool recap” when i already pretty much know what went down? ofc im looking into each link and shit and adding in things when i see fit, but otherwise its just me going “ah good times” yknow

the whole meteor thing kinda makes sense now?

we’re still missing a few pieces of info but we’re getting there, folks

oh yeah that reveal

god jade and dave have it in the shits for parents huh

bro isnt the best and jade has a fucking dog

who lowkey

is doing better than bro

who knew a fucking dog is a better guardian than bro lmfao

dreambot = terminator. im telling you.

sorry im still on that idea and it will never leave unless i have the actual proof in front of me that its not going to become a thing. meaning, ive finished hs and theres still no terminator dreambot or either andrew himself gives me a canon letter with “the robot is not arnold, mackenzie, pls just let it be”

why is the entire game session highlighted

i swear to god if this is like to a second recap or smth of the whole game session i may fucking CRY

okay thank god its just a design of the skaia layout

which is honestly cool

idk why its blurry tho but i can at least see the layout now. which is honestly how i pictured it anyways.

yeah, john did make a huge impact in his friends’ life and i find that so fucking touching

yep. got that. everything loops around. cool.

especially when the trolls come in. god we havent even gotten to that recap portion yet, we havent even gotten to the INTERMISSION

pls can this be the halfway point to the recap

AT LEAST

so they were exiled after the whole jack: ascend thing, right? considering theyre way in the future. man no fucking wonder.

speaking of jack

man that whole dad and jack interaction was gold, ngl

OH THAT EXPLAINS THE RING THEN

and wow, andrew’s really giving us the best female content huh. andrew is the true god of equality and diversity.

also hey, i didnt realize that wow. so PM tricked the queen in showing the parking ticket to be able to take the present from jack. she’s a smart cookie, that one..

she and PM basically snitched on jack and it was the best thing that has happened to me so far

oh yeah okay

but why did AR panic over bec? bc thats something we havent learned yet, right?

anyways

exile town, the only town which should exist. facts. i dont make the rules.

noice

i love PM being queen. like.. thats canon now. shes an actual queen.

yeah that was a fun game and the consorts were cute

fuck yeah the dick head

hate them even more now that i know john was killed because of them

anyways, i wonder what dick move dave’s denizen did? maybe thats why its filled with lava bc the denizen was like “fuck it. make the land red. kill them all”

UH WHAT

WHAT

OH MY GOD HOW DID I JUST FORGET NANNAS LETTER LIKE THAT LMFAO

THEIR TITLES WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME!

so i still dont know what they mean but i can gather it has something to do with the game giving them abilities. considering dave is the “knight of time” and he can go back in time. whack.

which means john can either control someones breathing or simply wind. and rose is... like that one girl in the winx club who does the sun shit. bc whenever i think of light powers, i think of stella.

and jade is space. witch of space.

nice

i have no idea what that means ngl

okay finally

we’re at the trolls

maybe this recap will end soon

i remember when i thought they were internet bullies

yesss

someone asked if i basically knew the trolls were on a different veil than the kids, so not presently with them, and i know lol. i was making a joke before btw. jsyk. dont think im incompetent to forget these things when sometimes i choose to forget it so i can add in a joke

it be like that, i annoy many

then again, pls dont assume im trying to say im not incompetent bc im also a fucking dumbass and DO forget shit and i have no excuse

imagine being so bored on the meteor, your last resort is speaking to aliens

ngl me if i was ever trapped on a meteor and could potentially do that

nah ik its bc its their only hope at helping with their session or whatever tf CG said to john. but there was BOUND to be a conference meeting between them like “okay guys. humans. that needs to be sorted out” and you just hear CG screaming in the background

i cant wait to meet them honestly bc im growing on all 4 of the ones we’ve seen already. and on top of that, i know what they look like and i know theyre not THAT bad, just a little on the crayy zee side sometimes

but theyre trying

OH MY GOD

I GET IT

FUCK

DOES THAT MEAN THE INTERMISSION IS *APART* OF THE MAIN FUCKING STORY??

AND SPADES IS WV FOR THE TROLLS

GOD D A M N

wow

i didnt expect that. but maybe the signs were there and i was just willingly choosing to ignore it or smth bc “haha couldnt be, right”

flashbacks to how i thought the trolls were humans

anyways, i guess he got his revenge on the kids version of “snowman” ie the black queen. but really

he did not have to do that. he could have cut off the finger and fled. but he decided “nah, lets implode her” so the loml is dead and all i got was a catchy song

i knew they were different types of “bullies” but now i just have to replace bullies with uhh

trolling strategies

anyways, this is cute. i love how they’ve come to be friends through mutual frustration. good part in the comic.

i wonder why it explodes

more importantly

....

terminator time?

this was my favourite sequences of dialogues in the whole entirety of homestuck. that is to say the back and forth thing that the kids went through to become a sort of wingman for the other.

absolutely gold.

all except AT’s rap.

GC was the only smart one with the linear shit

anyways fuck he still has to kill the denizen now but apparently its hard to beat for a sleeping dick head so

that will be fun for the future

john will probably need to kill A LOT of imps to get there

yeah rose is a badass bc she slayed that thing with needles of all things

OH and the white queen was the cursive

damn did AR ever do the whole guide process to a kid yet? maybe he will with dave, idk

oHHH

i fucking SEE

thats why he said DNA

to use it and replace all the life forms in the ocean

fucking neat wow

man that sounded sarcastic but im genuinely impressed bc all i got was bullshit as i read jaspersprites log

so thats the secret. it was “meow” bc that somehow translates to the genetic code she needs then. and that code apparently took fucking years to write as well. sick. whack. oh man.

derse is very pretty, ngl

and wow shit

“dave had already been awake in his tower all along without realizing it” how tf does someone just

do that, awake in both places at once

i didnt even fucking realize that fact as i read that pesterlog wow

ah yes, around the time things got confusing

okay so the capsule makes sense bc at first i didnt know it was a fucking time capsule so i got confused as to how it just apparated the game lmfao

the more you know i guess *twinkle*

i find that a neat concept tho

like the whole whatever you prototype affects the imps and shit

yeah so that whole “he had no advice” basically impacted his future

no shit dave wanted to reset things bc he probably thought he caused some sort of bad butterfly effect and killed his best friend

fuck calsprite thats all im gonna say

i read that first sentence and i think i got an aneurysm

and then everything else just made me sad again

i mean good thing he fucking did amirite?

we got pain at first but now we got cool shit like idk

fucking DAVESPRITE

damn idk how that works

will rose have like two minds now? or will this be some steven universe fusion shit?

“and understood their meaning” course well i fucking didnt so could you pls elaborate, rose?

okay but then what the fuck did he use that was inside the fucking box

bc i thought he used his knife?

im only every going to refer him as that now, thank you andrew

alright okay..

god that was a lot

i dont know what will happen once i click on those links but i am going to see that for myself bc i refuse to add ANYTHING ELSE

Beyond The Leather Chapter 26: Sight Seeing In London

February 16th, 1986

I listened back stage as the girls all ran one by one to poke their heads out of the curtain. I started wondering what was going on. I walked towards the curtain and heard them fawning over some guy who was sitting in the audience.

"Hey Mel who are the girls looking at?" I asked with curiosity.

"Take a look for your self. He's so fucking hot." She grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the curtain to look.

What the hell the girls are staring at Vince! I popped my head back in and shook my head. Girls and Vince Neil. I was happy though that he kept his word and came. Last night I went to Motley's last show in London. It was very fun I enjoyed my self. It was time for us to start our cat walk.

I came out of the curtain and strutted down the runway. I side eyed Vince and sent him alittle wink while walking. I turned and posed then walked back. Today I was feeling good and I felt like nothing could bring me down.

After the show I got dressed and came out to meet Vince.

"Soooo how did you like the show?" I asked.

"Well I liked the models, I could care less about the show." He laughed. "I think I slept when the guy was talking and woke back up when the girls started coming out."

"Seriously Vince." I slapped his arm. I turned around to see all the girls looking at me and Vince. "Listen I'm going to introduce you to them. But no dirty buissness." I warned him.

After I introduced Vince to the girls, he headed back to the hotel and I headed to the reception. The limo dropped us off back at the hotel. The girls wanted to have a little fun at the hotel restaurant. I was down for some fun but I wanted to call home first. I headed up to my room, when I got out of the elevator Nikki was standing by my door with a big side bag.

I wonder what he wanted? I walked towards my door slowly watching him. He looked really sad.

"H...how was the fashion show?" He asked almost whispering.

"Good." I say cossing my arms.

He nodded his head and put his hands in his pockets. "I um...I know were not on good terms but this is my last day in London. I was hoping I could take you out?"

I wasn't in the mood to hang around him. After that argument we got into and finding out that Nikki shoots up drugs, I just felt like I wanted to enjoy the rest of my night drama free. Because in truth since he has been here there has been nothing but problems between us.

"I don't think that's a good idea Nikki." I say walking passed him. "I'm hanging out with my air head models tonight." I say unlocking my door.

He chuckled and rubbed his hand through his hair. "You may not beleive me when I say this because I have said it to you so much." He says blocking me from going in. "But I am sorry, I'm a fuck up and I don't mean to be. But I am."

I'm trying to not look at his face he just looks so sad and it's killing me.

"Mani." He calls me while grabbing my jaw for me to look at him. "I need to take you out tonight. Please." He Softly speaks. "It's my last day here. Please." He pleaded again.

"Where would we go?" I sigh.

He smirks at me. "Some where that will require you to bring a big coat." _____

We got into a limo and it pulled us into a secluded parking lot. I looked out the window and saw a huge bus. The limo stopped and I opened the door and saw the tour bus. I can't believe he still booked it. I wanted to tour London so bad on this bus.

"Nikki I can't believe you still did this." I said excitedly.

"And we have the whole bus to our selves." He grabbed my hand pulling me towards the bus.

"Hello Mr. Sixx and Miss. Darlington let me help you on the bus. The tour guide stuck his hand for me to take helping me get on the bus.

I climbed aboard all the way to the top. It was a cold night. Good thing he told me to bring a big coat. But I could care less about that. The fact that he still went out of his way to do this, considering our argument made me push all those thoughts about us not hanging around each other away. I sat in the front seat and he scooted in beside me.

"Ok so our first stop is going to be the Clock Tower." The tour guide said.

The bus started moving and I was all smiles. "Nikki I'm so happy thank you!" I giggled.

"Well I did have a day off so I figured why not plan something." He smiled at me.

"When did you book this? Was it in the morning?"

"Yeah I did. Actually Cheap Trick's Rick Nielson introduced Tommy and me to one of Tommy's favourite drummers, Roger Taylor of Queen." He explained.

"Oh wow, Tommy must have been excited.

"Yeah he was. Well Roger takes us and Cheap Trick singer Robin Zander to this Russian restaurant in London we drank infused vodka and dined. I asked Rick where he would take a pissed off girl to make her happy on a tour bus. And he told me about these special places to go."

"Aww Nikki." I hugged him. "Well it worked cause I'm not pissed off any more." I nudged him.

"And here we are at the Clock Tower." Our talking was interrupted by the tour guide. "Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the striking clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower. The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a neo-Gothic style. When completed in 1859, its clock was the largest and most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world. The tower stands 315 feet 96 m tall, and the climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps. Its base is square, measuring 39 feet 12 m on each side. Dials of the clock are 23 feet 7.0 m in diameter.

"Oh no I didnt bring a camera." I pouted

"Good thing I did." Nikki grabs his bag and pulls out a Polaroid camera. "Here stand there."

I get up and pose for him. "Now one of me and you." I lean forward to grab him. He gets up and turns the camera to face us and snaps the picture.

"Alright loves next were going to Tower Bridge buckle up love birds it's going to beautiful." He smiled.

I sit back down and me and Nikki look at each other and start laughing like school kids.

"London is so beautiful. Especially at night." I whispered.

"Yes you are." Nikki hums and puts his arm around me.

"So am I not beautiful during the day?" I raise a brow.

"Oh..uh...yes of course." He stutterers.

"I'm messing with you Sixx." I say leaning in and kissing his cheek.

"Here we are Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. As a result, it is sometimes confused with London Bridge, about half a mile upstream."

Tower bridge was so beautiful. The lights made everything look like it was pure gold. We drove slowly under the bridge and I honestly just couldn't believe I was here. I got up to look down at the water. It was calm and steady. The lights also made it look gold as well. I heard a snap and turned to face Nikki.

"Mr. Sixx did you just take a picture of me?" I smiled.

"I did princess." He smiles.

"Alright were heading to the next stop!" The tour guide yells again. To be honest he was giving me a headache.

I made sure to tuck every single one of the pictures in Nikkis bag. I was so afraid of loosing them. I wanted to remember this night. We sat back down and he wrapped his whole arms around me.

"Alright and the next place were heading to is the coca cola London eye. You will love this one."

"What do you say we ditch this sucker and go street sight seeing." Nikki whispered in my ear.

"Hell yes!" I laughed.

Once we stopped. I looked up and saw a huge round lighted red circle. It was beautiful. There were blue buildings lit up behind it and boats growing in the water.

"This place is-"

"Hey sorry I have to take a piss." Nikki got up interrupting him. He grabbed my hand and we got off the bus.

"Alright don't be long kids were on a tight schedule." He pointed at his watch.

We walked down towards the coca cola London eye. And I smiled as I walked underneath it. Nikki started snapping pictures of me laughing and giggling.

"Nikki look a fair!" I darted towards where I saw the lights and the ferris wheel.

"Woah Mani slow down." Nikki laughed chasing after me.

"Nikki look at this place. Oh my God we can go on rides, get cotton candy, play games, win prizes." I rambled on and on.

"Hey hey hey come here." He grabbed my hand pulling me towards him. I made a pouty face at Nikki. He sighed, "I'm sorry I sometimes forget that your still really young." He laughed humorously. "You want to go on rides?"

"Yes." I smiled with all teeth showing.

We went on almost all the rides, ate a lot of food, and took a lot of pictures.

"Step right up folks, this game is to test your strength. You have to take the hammer and hit the button as hard as you can. If the meter goes all the way to green you can win this big stuffed bear." The game maker said.

"Oh Nikki look at the bear. It's so cute!" I squealed.

"You want that bear princess?" He looked at me and smiled.

"Yes I do." I leaned on him.

"Woah Nikki Sixx! Wow I'm a big fan!" The game maker shouted.

"Alright princess." Nikki handed the game maker the money and took the hammer. He lifted the hammer behind his head and smashed it down on the button.

"Oooooh sorry Mr. SIxx, better luck next time. Hello sir step right up come try and win your girl a bear." The game maker says while signaling to the next person.

"Thanks, I'm going to win that bear for you sweety." The guy goes to take the hammer from Nikki.

"Fuck off I'm winning that bear for my girl." Nikki yells pulling the hammer away from the guy. He pulls more money out of his pocket and hands it to the game maker.

"Nik it's ok." I laughed nervously placing my hand on my neck while people stared at us.

"Hey ass hole you had your turn already!" The man yelled.

Nikki lifted up the hammer and smashed it again hitting it harder this time. The meter went all the way to green.

"Yay Nikki!" I squealed jumping into his arms and kissing his cheek.

Nikki dropped the hammer and grabbed the bear from the game maker. "Here you go princess." He says handing me the bear. Could this man be any more sweeter.

we leave the fair and catch a cab to head back to the hotel. I open the door and let Nikki inside. I place my bear on the couch and take off my coat and take Nikki's coat to hang it up.

"I only have cranberry juice to drink, you ok with that? I asked Nikki walking to my kitchen.

"Yeah that's fine." He says plopping down on my couch.

I bring him a cup and pour myself a cup as well and sit down across from it.

"Thank you for today I had a really great time Nik. And I love my bear." I smiled and kissed the bear.

"Its no problem doll. I just didn't want to leave things bad between us. I'm sure once we got back to LA you would have probably ignored me."

There was a pause between us for a while. I couldn't read Nikki face, it seemed like he was holding back in wanting to say something to me.

"I need to tell you something." We both said at the same time.

"Oh uh you can go first." He says to me smiling.

"Ok...I um." I put my head down and dry swallowed. "I'm very very sorry for what I did when I was with my friends." I looked back up at him. "It was.. it was very rude of me Nikki. Theres no excuse for my behaviour and you didn't deserve that. I'm very sorry. And I also want to say sorry for my out burst when you came here last time. I hope you can forgive me." I spoke softly.

Nikki got up from where he was sitting and moved the bear so he could sit beside me. He kissed the top of my forehead, "I'll always forgive you." He caressed my cheek. "Mani I." He paused and brushed his hair back. "I really care about you. And you mean the world to me. I want to be your-" "friend!" I inturrupted. He looked startled when I spoke up and said that.

"I want to be your friend too!" I placed my hand on his hand. "I think us going back to hanging out like we did before will be really great. I miss our friendship and the long talks. And I care about you as a friend as well. Your friendship means a lot to me." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

Nikki turned away from me and moved his hand away from mine. He brushed his hair back again. "Ok." He spoke lowly. He then got up, "I'm going to head to my room." He started walking towards my door. I got up and walked behind him. "You don't have to Nik, you can stay here a little longer." I calmly spoke to him.

He just kept walking ignoring me. He opened my door and I grabbed his arm gently to pull him back. I turned him to face me and I cupped his cheeks in my hands and gave him a slow sweet kiss on his lips. He tensed up and wrapped his arms securely around my waist pulling me towards him not wanting to let me go. I pulled away and smiled.

He sighed, "Mani please just-" "tell Rick Nielson I said thank you, for telling you about those beautiful places you took me to. I really enjoyed my self." I caressed his cheek and pulled my body away from him.

He nodded his head then walked out of my room. "You know actually I did thank him." He turns around and looks at me. "I pissed on Rick Nielson's black rubber coat back when we got back to the hotel." He smirks then continues to walk to his room.

I walk back into my room closing the door behind me. I had to do it this way. Nikki shoots up drugs and I can see that he is already addicted to it. That night when Andy brought Nikki to my room. His arms told me the whole story about his lifestyle. And me getting mixed in with that type of life style won't look good. It's not just about my career it's about my well being. I can't take care of a drug addict, I can't have a life with a drug addict, and certainly can't bring home a drug addict. Plus I'm too young for him. I do have feelings for him, but I'm going to have to tuck them away in a dark place. I told him we can be friends but if he calls me up and wants to hang out or do something I'll have to ignore him. My plan is to slowly distance my self from him. I know... I sound like a bitch for saying that. But the reality is who wants to be associated with a junkie?

she-ra 4

the reason i stopped watching she-ra is the same reason i stopped watching the dragon prince.

the narrative doesn’t take the situation seriously. instead of leaning into the anguish of war and violence (atla, teen titans) - they make light of it. EVEN when the characters’ guardians are KILLED!!

when Angella died and they spent 2 seconds on Glimmer’s grief at the end of season 3 i was like......actually fuck this. HOW can i take any of these stakes seriously when they insist on brushing them off???

anyway just had to complain about that - especially because the start of the first ep of 4 is them joking AGAIN about something as grim as Glimmer now carrying all the responsibilities of her mother - who may i remind you IS DEAD

but catradora became canon apparently so now i have to struggle through

her aunt, her mother’s sister, is fuckin, joking about cakes, her friends are laughing at the joke. COME ON! how goddamn unrealistic and insensitive. EVEN if they wanna make a point of it - it’s silly! because the narrative PARTICIPATES in making light of the situation. if it was just the characters it would be less jarring

‘we’ll make sure this day is perfect’ WHAT? how could it EVER BE IF HER MOTHER IS FUCKING DEAD????????? AND THAT”S THE ONLY REASON SHE’S QUEEN????? ‘must be hard’ YEAH IT’S HARD - IN FACT IMPOSSIBLE. instead of pretending to be happy maybe you can show some genuine sensitivity. these people are so crazily emotionally underdeveloped my god. what age are they supposed to be? 16? 17? The problem that She-ra has (just like the dragon prince) is that there are no relevant adults. Oh sure there’s a Queen, and some Soldiers, and a Sorceress. But there isn’t a single relevant competent adult around who is concerned with running a bureaucracy or the emotional stability of children

I do like how Catra has overcome her fear of Hordak. but i think i remember being fuckin furious at her for almost destroying the whole world and hurting Scorpia and betraying Entrapta just to spite Adora. vaguely.

the rebellions problem is that they’re all extremely stupid himbos. like literally, in the whole story, only catra and shadowweaver have any smarts, while glimmer gains the ability to think during full moons on wednesdays. meanwhile everybodys is a slave to their emotions - which destroys any brain cells that shadowweaver or catra (or angella or anyone) might have managed. they could literally have killed hordak the entire time but just let him order them around because they’re so hot for acknowledgement

I’m glad Glimmer reflects my frustrations now hahahahaah

‘everyone is already acting like she doesn’t matter’ - yeah dudes, you fucking insensitive bastards

‘im supposed to take care of you glimmer’ - but unfortunately i have the emotional intelligence of a crab! FUCK!

this is another thing about this show that makes me groan. sappy quick resolutions of emotional turmoil through re-affirming the fuckin power of friendship in the first episode of the season.

also couldn’t Adora have done this she-ra stuff from the very beginning

that was badass.....miss glimmer’s other hair though. ok the emotions at that hologram and statue though...

the coolest part of she-ra for me is finding out more how the ancient systems all fit into Etheria and the She-Ras and Hordak Prime etc.

THIS IS A GOOD SPEECH. love this badass.

love Hordak getting put in his place. Love Catra realising she has power - love Hordak reaping what he sows. its unfortunate that she’s a shitty brat who JUST can’t get over her inferiority complex

if i could endlessly teleport i would do what glimmer does

also, glimmer was willing to fuckin murder catra before and she DEFINITELY will be now lol. love that for her.

why did they only introduce adora learning to transform her sword NOW ahahaha, theyve had SO MANY SCENES in which she doesnt have it and then suddenly does - and then its gone again

scorpia is the funniest and most likeable person in the whole show

they really suddenly can’t take five people on with she ra and fuckin huntara on their side??

i remember that little sadistic righteous twist in my stomach when Adora finally was like: FUCK!!!!!! YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Catra!!!!!!! and the stupid idiot got it

FINALLY A GLANCE AT THE PEOPLE OF ETHERIA AGAIN! i love the party sequences in this!!! the people of etheria are so beautiful! nobody ever comments on the main characters all looking plain human in contrast....

‘and i fell for it!’ yeah cos you DUMB AS BRICKS ADORA

so first they quietly take out the guards....and then literally break open the door hahaahahahahaaha

‘we forgot the bots regenerate’ - yeah cos you DUMB AS BRICKS ADORA

i just dont understand why they insist on making the main characters so DUMB ahahahahaah

Adora and Catra are great at hitting where it hurts. the difference between them is that Catra KNOWS that she’s hurting Adora - she does it deliberately.

wow that could be some pretty angsty stuff constantly leaving her to struggle on the floor while painfully electrocuted. Catra has also moved to kill Adora straight up so many times. im sure she really wants to (but it would destroy her later). But now, Adora swept something at Catra that might have actually killed her. I get Catra though, I would’t want to get beaten by some blonde, blue-eyed, glowing golden kid who always gets to win and do better. this is truly the first time Adora has moved to kill Catra......

does flatterina not have parents who’d be like: uhhhhh maybe leave the soldiering for a couple more years?

catra truly burning all her bridges. hahaha. it’s so satisfying to see her use her anger and power to truly destroy herself - because of guilt!

no other villagers were like - HMMMMMMM this random new kid is here? weird..... i didnt see that coming either.

Adora doesn’t think about what Catra might have even been doing there - cos she’s DUMB AS BRICKS

the interesting thing about this show is that they’re setting up a dichotomy. they’re treating war like a high-stakes game because they have the good side adhere to an aesthetic of ....magic. they will not make the two sides equivalent in any way - which makes questions of morality moot. the show is purely an emotional drama. the horde is an army of brainwashed kids in an industrial wasteland - they fight with tech and guns. but the good guys cannot fight with an army or tech, they fight with cleverness and magic. they’re called the ‘rebellion’ - they HAVE to be underdogs because they have to follow the script of good - even though what’s really going on is war, not a rebellion. That’s why they have a single strike team that do ‘missions’. They are presented as FUNDAMENTALLY different - on the level of identity which they cannot change lest they destroy themselves - and in that way the good guys can never become the bad guys. it is ALMOST meta. think they’re gonna do something with that at one point. i hope

also Netossa has such a super cool design.

‘everyone knows you’re needed in bright moon’ - uh. really? i dont know. some random person i’ve never seen before demands you go to meetings. so? is that important? why?

spinerella can literally FLY???????? why has she been in the background this whole time??? hahahaha military inefficiency.

there was an explosion that ripped trees apart - but bo’s alive!! honesty why didn’t they try explosive suicide bots before. they’re very lucky he was still alive to heal

‘could they be tracking she-ra?’ WHAT? isn’t the obvious suggestion - A SPY???? they just assume that the general is right hahahahaa.

i love how double trouble is so meta.

actually, why wasn’t glimmer trained as a sorcerer anyway?

glimmer is upset about her growing magic plants but not her having magic ingredients

why do they present good strategic thinking (for once) as evil influence from shadowweaver

what a fuckin badass. honestly - glad that this show finally utilised glimmer’s extremely op powers like they should be. honestly, she’s much more powerful than She-Ra.

that bit with spinerella was so contrived jfc.

‘by using me as a decoy’ adora says, pissed off. uhhhh YOU went off on your own to get smushed by fuckin bots adora. Glimmer didn’t do that to you. she just used your stupidity.

glimmer really left catra to die. hahahahaa

i like adora best when she’s on her own and being a dork

they definitely managed to foreshadow that Light Hope was evil but im glad they picked up the thread now

am i seeing this wrong or did scorpia have two mums??? but also. where the fuck are they

lolololololol because everybodys dumb as bricks and emotionally volatile they’re incredibly easy to manipulate

‘i cant risk hitting flatterina’ pffft - ALL YOUR ARROWS ARE NON-LETHAL BO. ugh i cant deal with these contrived stakes

I LOVE THIS BADASS EFFICIENT HARDCORE GLIMMER

they’re really gonna spin it like this is a bad development? fuck off. finally some grit.

‘you took things way too far’ - but she got results! dumb as bricks adora

(this may seem harsh but adora is DUMB shes so fucking DUMB!!!! and she has many good qualities (such as an almost innate sense of morality) but goddamn. i guess its good to sometimes have a show about all around dumb characters. i mean, it’s not unrealistic per se, it’s just.....weird.)

the interesting thing about these characters is that you can SEE every single one of them struggling with cognitive dissonance. thats the big story of this show. they see the world a certain way - and then when something challenges that, they fight to the death to destroy or deny or ignore that new information - to everybody’s detriment. and they can’t back down because every step they’ve taken - would turn to sins they can’t live with. it’s interesting and its also a kind of conflict that‘s frustrating if not resolved at SOME point. thats why i love this season for its characters going off the rails. adora aiming to kill catra, catra destroying her last relationships, glimmer growing more and more militant.

they’re all acting like teens - that is - highly volatile - unable to keep from provoking others or be provoked - but they ARE teens.

‘catra doesn’t care. she’ll hurt people to get her way (implied: EVEN people on her side)’ - we must remember that Scorpia was entirely fine with KILLING the trio (it was Catra that wasn’t at the time).

‘you’re a bad friend’ OH OUCH. Catra - who’s always been treated as a whipping girl by those in power - does the same to those she is in power over. But on some level she doesn’t WANT to be that. she’s just always always been rejected and take advantage of and lashed out at and abandoned by the people she considered important (shadowweaver ---- doing the same to catra that was done to her is so goddamn....it’s the story of this show. the simplicity and banality of damaging and hurting others and that carrying over to harm even more people - is the story of this show and it’s immeasurably frustrating and REALISTIC)

she still flinches at Hordak’s lashing out. but she imprints on him the exact lesson she’s trying to school herself in. If you don’t need anybody - you don’t want anyone - if nobody matters but the mission and winning - then you can’t be hurt. she wants to prove her worth - but she doesn’t realise that inherently means that she’s putting somebody in power over her - again and again and again.

mermista coming in clutch with the braincells: there’s a spy! I love how this is played as completely implausible and just Mermista nonsense (who i love learning about) - while it’s so obviously true/

i actually love Adora when she’s being serious and heroic, or a huge dork. and she has the wit to RECOGNISE good ideas. but i just don’t understand why Adora is being big b about being used as a distraction. like....why?

i love that the underside of Mermista’s sneaker has a figure. but why the fuck is a common soldier with them (flatterina) and do they really think they can interrogate the whole castle filled with some shitty guards and...what - the guerilla troops they sometimes employ? where do they even live? ah in a tent city. ok

why is the GENERAL in front line combat WITHOUT SOLDIERS???? oh wait. glimmer did that too when she was general. lolololol

i understand why Adora doesn’t trust Shadowweaver and doesn’t want her around most of all - and Glimmer getting buddy buddy with her is hurtful. but...it’s not helpful to needle glimmer about it. but dismissing the guards around shadowweaver however? stupid of Glimmer. unnecessary. ‘what has she done but help us?’ - uhhhh she kidnapped you, corrupted your powers, almost wiped Adora’s mind. I wish Adora had summed up those things instead of leaving them implied.

so perfuma and mermista come across inconsistencies in the stories - but then. forget about it? i just...... UGGHGHGHGHGHGHGH. people really aren’t this dumb are they? they’re just NOT.

‘no more secrets and doing things without us’ - that was a good speech. but like, glimmer is right - she’s surrounded by INCOMPETENT IDIOTS lolololol. but good leadership is corralling idiots, Glimmer. not going off on your own. but she’s already planted the bait about the dining room.

‘we were the only ones who knew about the plan to take back dril’ ---- THEN WHY DID YOU INTERROGATE OTHER PEOPLE AHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA

‘stop questioning my choices, stop whining about being a decoy’ YEAH FUCKIN HELL ADORA STOP BEING SUCH A FUCKING SHIT. IS THIS REALLY ‘TAKING CARE OF GLIMMER’????

‘all you do is question my authority, it’s exhausting.’ yeah god...it really is. adora needs to fucking BACK! OFF! but im loving these fights because it brings out the grievances. Adora is right to be worried about Glimmer no longer including her in her decisions. and she makes a good point that that’s bad. She makes a good point that Shadowweaver cannot be trusted. And Glimmer makes zero good points - except that it’s been hard for her and has garnered 0.1% understanding from the people around her. Oh they were working together. BUT those were definitely real grievances.

GLIMMER CAN ALREADY DO A CONTAINMENT SPELL LIKE THAT??? godDAMN. castapella completely flunked her responsibilities to Glimmer but shadowweaver did NOT.

hmmm so Solinius was....destroyed. but like, did the people die? like....the people? that’s the important bit isn’t it? i mean, they were under the sea right?

i suppose the problem i also have is that this show will NOT hurry up. normally i love filler stuff but ...the characters are too.....cheery. too flat. their quirks are fun and funny until they’re literally character flaws.

are the horde just literally attacking civilians? jezus. the war crimes. how did shadowweaver ever expect to trick Adora when she was released into the field?

‘you can’t just keep going off on your own!’ - SHE LITERALLY SAVED THE WHOLE FUCKING TOWN. SHE’S THE QUEEN! EVERYBODY SHOULD LISTEN TO HER! lolololol

the problem with Adora’s points is that everything about their dynamics are always so nebulous. why cant glimmer keep showing up to help out? WHY??? she’s the most capable fucking soldier in the field! she’s supposed to have full fucking authority! like, Adora isn’t in the right here. the problem is that her needling is only a symptom of her worries - which is that Glimmer doesn’t trust her any more. but the needling does NOTHING but make her seem like an idiot

i do love this trope reversal here - Seahawk deliberately damselling them to let the princesses save the boys? pffft

love catra getting the consequences for her actions regarding Scorpia. You can’t keep lashing out at people and expect them to stay my dear cat.....

oooohhh Glimmer.... you’re treading close to very hurtful territory. Blaming Adora for the Rebellion failing? for things she couldn’t do anything about? stupid.

really?? you’re really gonna fucking fight-resolution BLOCK ME? are you FUCKING kidding me? edging me for the whole GODDAMN SEASON??? and finally Adora cries at Glimmer going over the line???? fuckin I HATE the narrative decisions in this stupid show I FUCKING HATE THEM FUCK THESE WRITERS GOD FUKCING DAMMIT!!! this has been the whole GODDAMN SHOW!!!!!! ARGHGHGHGHGHGH

i’ve been waiting for a fucking resolution for Adora and Catra the whole! goddamn! SHOW! NOTHING! else matters! you do the exact same for glimmer and adora and now you let it fester again??? because of some no-stakes BULLSHIT? just give me the fucking godddamn PAYOFF for watching these kids be IDIOTS.

this fight on the boat is COOL and really wonderfully animated

really? Glimmer’s response to Adora being hurt and not wanting to be TOUCHED is to be angry herself? what a fucking IDIOT. god i can’t stand this. I CAN’T STAND IT

is this how people act? do they never take a moment to breathe and think and reflect and realise their priorities and take a step back and fucking apologise?

jezus FUCKING! CHRIST!

‘no matter what glimmer thinks of me’ oh that HURTED. oh damn. that’s so relatable. it’s a way to run, it’s a way to internalise the hurt and then prove the things that hurt wrong. the one that hurt you

I know Bo is supposed to be the emotionally intelligent one but he’s also too soft. He should go up to his friends individually and ask them the sharp questions. not - ‘communicate more positively’.

I just like Adora so much better when she’s alone. Her friendships’ positive moments are always so sappy or so....like over-exaggerated, the negative moments always so fucking annoying. Alone, Adora is generally driven, tragic, and cool. the problem is perhaps that i don’t care for the constant fucking drama

god i LOVE Mara so much - she’s so beautiful. and i LOVE learning more about the Old Ones. So they were trying to study Ehteria’s magic.... but then Bright Moon and the princesses were already here. The Magic-Like systems of the Old Ones are pure tech.

wow! even Mara’s transformation is way cooler.

so why was the first one’s tech (she ra) responsive to the magic? why does Raz know about She-Ra? when she ra is first ones tech????

WAIT ONE SECOND. She-Ra is ‘magic’ ??? it’s the SWORD that’s the first one’s tech! She-Ra is Etheria’s magic ! but how if the First Ones chose Mara. Did they steal She-Ra from Etheria?

so what im getting is that. the Old Ones colonised Etheria. Etheria has magic, and when Mara was chosen they made that girl an elite soldier - giving her a first one’s tech sword so she could ‘control’ Etheria’s magic. Then Mara was told to study the magic of Etheria - the ship implying that she’d not been on the planet before. then they created a Heart of Etheria project - which will probably turn the magic into a weapon. this was going to be used against Hordak Prime, im sure. I mean, Mara saved Etheria, but she did doom the rest of the universe to...extinction.... like, judging from Hordak’s strategy, Hordak Prime just literally exterminates planets and repopulates them with his clones....

But why would the planet choose a girl from amongst the colonisers - twice?

OOOHHH that anguished scream. i love anguished screams

why dont they put fucking safety belts in these ships. it’s not like the ship didn’t survive. only Mara got splatted (i guess)

also i love Mara. but damn Adora just got some more shit on her plate. why the fuck was she pushed through a portal again? for a She-Ra chain reaction?

I love madame Raz.

So they didn’t explicitly use it against Hordak Prime. and it wouldn’t have destroyed Etheria back then but it will now...

guh this showmakes it so hard to enjoy catra’s pain.

well they did finally have a good talk about it. I have to say, Glimmer is making good strategic sense - it’s just that this show only rewards harebrained schemes

Catra having a crazy panic attack cos she can’t find Scorpia and she’s completely lost and she knows its her fault. kinda love that for her. my heart

my dear Glimmer, theres a difference between absence of trust and absence of agreement.

they’re bringing king micah back just when angella is dead? oh fuckin lol

the horde....exiled micah? they exiled Micah instead of killing him???

why do they ALWAYS interrupt important conversations? i hate that shit. it’s cheap. it’s unsatisfying.

now THIS is what im here for - that unstoppable WILL!! john gonzalez is right - we watch stories for characters overcomign obstacles. writing, is creating the obstacle course. .....what does that say about me and my life....hmmm.

‘light hope told me everything i need to know’ - uhhh no she didn’t. she didn’t tell you how to harness the energy at all. ugh

how the fuck did double trouble escape. seems to me that they didn’t actually. they were let go....

it’s always so stupid when people try to tell other people: oh no you’ve got no plan - this is too risky! when that’s NEVER a problem

Glimmer is going to activate the weapon just in time for Hordak Prime to use it. And naturally she misses the return of her dad. fuck this

they’re gonna have Hordak and Catra fight? hmm

Double Trouble is right - this IS good for her - and it IS Catra - except for Shadowweaver’s case - she was an abusive bitch

I love Scorpia’s new cool fight music and also glowy eyes

is glimmer going to throw herself into lava??

the unfortunate thing is that Hordak Prime is right on the doorstep and he took over the whole universe or whatever. so they could probably have used that weapon. i mean the Old Ones must have seen something coming. there must be a reason they’re all GONE maybe????

why did Adora assume that all those stars would be destroyed?

THE ANIMATION ON THAT FINAL STUFF WAS INCREDIBLE AND EPIC

how the fukc are they going to beat Horde Prime lolololol.

i guess Glimmer really shouldn’t have done that. but at least she was in time to bond with Catra.

#my stuff #vidi #she ra

Reacting to Batman vs TMNT

Part 3:

-huh, look at that, I miscalculated:

Hufflepuff is on the lead with 55 points, Slytherin follows with 35, then gryffindor with 30 and ravenclaw with 20.

Come on, Donnie you can do better!

-so. Mikey pulls out an awesome chart.

-(me) you are awesome.

-oh wow. Did you see it? Did you see that? Donnie kind of has a turtle beak.

Un like the others, who have a more human face design, and who's expressions are more highlited. Maybe he got the genes from that part of the tree (so to say) fascinating.

+5 points for ravenclaw

-wait. Counterpart the mutagen? Like, retromutagen? ...shit

-this movie's got blood. And issues.

...I like it.

10 points for slytherin just for the threat to demutate the turtles.

-nobody cares? NOBODY CARES!?

-DONNIE, SINGLEHANDEDLY, JUST FIGURED OUT THE POSITION OF THE BATCAVE... IN A DAY

-and nobody cares?

- 10 points less for griffindor.

-and you know what? This is awesome, but even more by the fact that I am not so shocked. Donnie is just that good. Its his thing. It makes sense.

-Donnie, you are the MVP 10 points for Ravenclaw

-and 5 points for Mikey's grubby paws, and for Donnie's eyes when he saw the computer

-Mikey, on Batman's suit, on a t-rex, playing with the cape.

-"Mikey, get down"

-"nah man, I live here now"

-those plus points to both huffs and griffs

-Mikey's reaction to Robin.

-I love that Robin doesn't seem to be able to beat them, but they are not fighting seriously, and get hurt.

-pfff Mikey and Robin fighting for the cape

-just Robin's personality

-and Mikey and Robin again

-and I can't explain how they do it, but I like that they can get in theyr shells

-Donnie I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

-just so you know, Im counting the house's points with crossed lines now, 'cause Im running out of paper

-they finally explain themselves

-Raph's sneaky gesture

-security guy didn't back up when he saw the sword. Perhaps he didnt see the sword.

-uh! A chopped head. That angle got me by surprise!

-ARKAHAM

-the effect of Shreder's knifes on the security guy

-noooo the guy with the 'gotham's best dad' mug!

-oooh so cool all the villians here...

-THANK YOU, SCRIPT WRITERS FOR THE SCENE WITH HARLEY QUEEN. THANK YOU

-(guys, its Harley Queen, and the Shreder. Interacting. And funny!!)

-Mikey skateboarding down the Wayne house stairs, and ruining them for the sound of it. And runing over Alfred, who is bikering about teenagers, 'cause he offered to cook, but they preffer pizza.

-Leo so proud 'cause fucking Batman recognices his father taught him well.

While training with Batman

-how much does this movie cost? ITS PRICELESS

-lets be realistic, how did that picture get there? Was there a camera right in front of the guy when he turned inmortal? The design is nice, I guess its trying to be um, sexy and dramatic?

-kudos for creativity, thoug

-Raph doesn't like the idea of an inmortal Shreder. Neither did the other raphs who lived in a dimension where he actually was.

-I kind of like the human shreder. Its closer to the original concept from the comic, and its more vulnerable, but also more threatening 'cause its freaking human!!! How does he keep coming back? Where will he stop? Can't trust him, he's human!!

-shit careful with that shit!

-yeahlisten to Raph thats dangerous guys!

-oooh the retromutagen only works withing 12 hours of the mutation... For reasons

-... 10 points less from Ravenclaw

-ok, its untested, so, dangerous side efects. Good. I will take that. Thats good, thats... 10 points back to Ravs

-oh uff I was worried we would not get to see Splinter here, but at the very least we get a nice japanese style drawing.

Still hoping to see him.

-Alfred and Mikey~~

-they each eat two pizzas. TWO PIZZAS

-come on man, let the kids eat!

Like, literaly kids. Working. For you. For the city too but, let them fucking eat!

-yeah Mikey...

-no shit he did not. HE DID NOOOT

-Donnie knows just how to calm Mikey. Shove pizza in his mouth and cuddle him.

-shreder, kill him. Kill him!

Nooo nonono dont give the Joker fucking ooze. Killit killit!!

-they turtles show themselves to the inspector and he is just so done with everything

-Mikey's still here!

And he's got his rollskater back

-and he rides it

-HAHAHA

-DOCTOR Harley Queen

-ok the transformation secuence is cool too

-ok, one cool detail: up close, Harley Queen's teeth look quite realistic. I just like it when they look like that, not like anime or other shows, where they are just triangles.

-and Batman's greet to Harley is "what have they done to you?"

Thats becouse Batman's character is one that cares a lot for people, even villians, sometimes.

-this is all just GOOOD SHIT

-Mikey reacts to being inside a scary movie with 'this is so cool' just like me with the movie

-oooh Leo's been gassed!!! What will he see? In this cool ass movie with blood and insults!?

-well, that is nightmare fuel

-the fight with the polar bear. Like, Raph deeps his zai in his arm, and he has to shake it to get him off!

-and Mikey. Just, all Mikey

-Mikey's buuurn!

-oh wow that is long, isnt it? Yeah, I will continue in the next post. Upsie!!

Sky Full of Song - B.B (9/10)

Summary: Giving a recovering amnesiac the proper musical education he was missing, wasn’t supposed to involve feelings, right? (Reader/Bucky Barnes)

Prompt: “Should I reveal exactly how I feel?”

Masterlist

A/N: This is for @redgillan writing challenge. one more chapter! ;A;

“Put these on, they’re your new set,” Two explains to you shortly before you had been told it was a definite that you were going on the next mission in regards to the supercomputers. You thought it was a little odd that she gave you a new set, Six always did that, but you knew she always worried.

“Oh, ok. Did you make them?” you question, looking at the sleeker and more compact design as Four simply shrugs, not quite sure what is going on either.

“No, made some calls and payments so you have the best, kid,” Two smiles, and you know you can’t say no to her when she has done so much, as Four lets out a lovestruck sigh at the sight.

“Wow,” you exclaim as the headphones and gloves give your new powers more precision and subtly than before. You grin and shake your head before realizing something.

“Does Six know? Did you run it by him? Should I really be using new tech without testing first?” you ask the dark-haired woman and she shakes her head in affirmation, but before you can say anything else you become aware that you are going to be late for your first Avengers’ meeting. You give the two of them a quick goodbye before leaving the room.

That’s when green eyes turn to meet brown as Two hands him a file -- yours and all the details in regards to what Six had been doing through his own creations. The blond frowns before closing the documentation.

“Does she know?” Four questions with a sigh, trying to keep himself calm and not do anything stupid for once.

“Hill knows, and that’s all that matters,” Two states as she moves forward and grabs a small black box from her desk. Green eyes never leaving her own, “And we have been tasked to do something about it.”

“Scary,” Four whistles out, trying to change the mood of whatever she is gonna have him do next because the image of brotherly Six is gone and is slowly being replaced with something else.

“And you love it,” Two grins, as Four just shakes his head bashfully.

“So, what song are we playing on the way there?” Four grins as the black-haired woman shakes her head, allowing herself this moment of levity.

“Killer Queen,” Two says without missing beat, knowing it was one of the few songs all three of you could agree on. The blond grins, as she smiles back though both completely serious and aware of what’s going down next.

“God, I love you,” Four declares, as Two laughs as they leave the room to prepare for their own mission.

twenty-fifth night.

It wasn’t an easy mission.

“1 minute, Energizer Bunny,” Bucky hears Tony quip towards you in the comms, as you acknowledge quickly. He learned that your attention had to be undivided for your powers to work, though that made you sitting target that him and Natasha had to watch over. He sees streaks of silver and green flying from your fingers and surrounding most of your body. The Soviet-era computers came alive around you, spilling all their secrets as you go through their programming like butter.

“Almost done!” you yell through the comms channel, hand weaving in a similar fashion to Wanda’s, as more HYDRA agents come into the room. Natasha takes down most of them through hand-to-hand combat, while he shoots them down from his vantage point. One had made it past them and he was welcomed to enjoy your new electric shock treatment. Both Natasha and him are busy taking on this new wave to notice something going on in your corner, but then they hear it.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

All the computers around you start to collapse with a small fire starting to the right of you. Bucky can see the look of panic in your eyes for a moment, as your movements gets more frantic, and just as he gets up from taking down the last HYDRA agent on his back -- he sees it. The large green screen changes into a familiar face and you scream -- Zola, Zola, Zola. He’s talking in numbers and a large metal object has you falling to the floor. The fire is spreading and the sound of metal crunching together blocks out your screams of help. Bucky is trying his hardest to reach, but he can’t. Bucky screaming for you to wake up, but it’s not happening.

“She’s mine.”

Everything goes black.

“JAMES!”

The familiar voice has him lurching out of the bed he is currently in, as wide eyes look around the suddenly lit up room trying to figure out where he could be. The heavy smell of bleach and antiseptic reminds his struggling mind that he is in the medical wing due to a dislocated shoulder. He glances to his right to see your concern face, and then he’s reminded that only part of his dream was true. Your right arm is bandaged due to crushed by one of the computers that collapsed towards the end of the mission and there is a bandage on your left cheek due to fighting a HYDRA agent. You wait, let him settle back into this time and place, a while before speaking.

“Can I sit?” you asks softly as he nods. You sit on his right side and smile gleefully at him, as he taken notice of the small circular item in your hands with some earphones. Bucky knows what it is and is somewhat surprised that you would use such an old CD player. You soon take notice off what he is looking at.

“I know what you’re thinking,” you laugh and Bucky knows now that he can’t take his eyes off of you when you’re making such a lovely sound, “But, I used to have one as a kid, I’m still kind of attached to it.”

“What are ya listening to?” he asks, like it’s the first time you meet all over again.

“Hm...I wonder if you’ll like it,” you frown, not quite sure how Bucky would take to the iconic band. While they were more popular now, it wasn’t one of there more famous songs, but you had been feeling like this for quite some time now and it resonated with you.

“‘course I will,” he says like it’s the surest thing in the world, the undertone of I love anything you do, left unsaid. You believe him slightly because outside of Elvis, he seemed to enjoyed most of the music he had sorely missed out on.

“Okay, this is Queen,” you explain, as you lean in more and put an earbud in his ear. You’re too busy explaining that you almost miss him leaning into your touch more than usual, “I think they’re the only band my coworkers and I can completely agree on.”

“Okay, start it,” Bucky nods his head, as you push the play button and watch his reactions throughout the entire song.

A piano and rock ballad welcomes him into the song, as the male voice sings all some of the thoughts that have been ringing through his head for quite some time now. Blue eyes look up to meet yours, your smile widens and your eyes shine with excitement and other emotions things that he can only begin to phantom, but in this moment -- in this bleached out room, injured but smiling, you only belonged to him and he to you, everything he ever wanted was right in front of him, then his heart stops for a moment. It hits him like the guitar solo.

Why it hurt when he didn’t see you? Why he worried like hell during the whole mission? Why you were in his nightmares all the time now?

Bucky Barnes is in love.

Finale (part 10)

hyprocure 2nd edition review First Day

Hey everyone. I’m a 25 year old male that got the hyprocure procedure done today..exactly 12 hours ago. I remember as I was searching for reviews and risks online there were a few but not as many as I wanted to read so fuck it I am doing my own. So the anatomy of my feet are flat according to doctors but honestly I’ve never had serious pain except for a few select times where I was doing sports in the past and working at this one job standing up...and even back then after wearing prebscribed inserts a few weeks and attending pain management a few times the pain would go away. On April of 2016 I was involved in a stupid car accident that left my back and feet all messed up. Since that day I’ve had terrible feet pain and it just won’t go away no matter how much I stretch, how many foot rubs I get (both from Asian foot rub parlors (($20 an hr where I stay 😏)) ((just foot rubs))) and from my girl who as long as I let her pop the pimples on my back in exchange for 5 minute foot rubs 🤖) no matter how much physical therapy I’ve done .. the pain doeeess notttt gooo awayyy 😾🤬🤯😤😭😭😭 it’s been a miserable time since and I do not wish this upon anyone. Ever. Not even if you were an enemy of mine.

So after talking to my podiatrist / foot surgeon here in Queens NY (he has excellent reviews and tons of experience. Very formal and professional also) we scheduled a date for today at 11 a.m.

Upon arriving at his office he had just informed me that he had just finished a procedure on a young girl right before me and he said it went very well. That kind of put me at ease because I was a little nervous and anxiety was growing on me but still...surgery is surgery bro. And it was one that at first I didn’t want to do because the thought of a screw being jammed inside of your ankle did not sit well with me (I’ve had surgery 2xon my elbow as a kid and I really had hoped that I’d never have to go through that again) I really decided to take The risk on this though as long as the pain would stop. As we went over the risks the doctor explained that if anything ever went wrong aka doesn’t help or make it worse 😰 the screw can get taken out. Which was a bit comforting considering I was about to get cut open and have some titanium bolt driven into me. Whatever. I said to myself I came here to do it and I will get better after this.

So as he takes me to his office he takes X-rays and tells me to sit on the reclining chair and so I sit and nd he lays it all the way back. At this point I’m looking at the ceiling. And then he begins poking where the surgery would occur....fuck if my heart didn’t drop. I really wanted to just say nah fuck this I’m out. Especially because I’d be awake for everything. I had initially requested to be put asleep but he re assured me that the anesthesia he’d Inject to my foot would be sufficient to proceed, as the whole thing only lasted a measly 8 minutes.

Anyway so the doctor starts poking around and he says ““your gonna feel a little pinch now. The good thing is is that it’s only one needle and in that needle I will attach various anesthesia’s so the pinch will only be once”” so he inserts the needle and it was really just a sting. Not too bad (compared to those steroid shots that they insert in your heel and don’t fucking help or do shit) and it’s weird I can’t tell if the anesthesia is working or not because I still feel him handling my foot...and at this point I’m covering my eyes trying to think happy thoughts and not focusing on what’s about to happen. But then something weird happens. I feel like he’s drawing on my skin with a pen but he’s actually cutting it open. I won’t lie I was a bit taken back and I would not have known if I didn’t start hearing the rattling of metal. The next thing you know I feel my foot getting jerked...but the feeling doesn’t stem from the foot it’s radiating to my leg. It was no pain...but goddamn it. The sensation of your bones rattling inside of you. It was at this point that I knew he was inserting the steel rod they use to align the hyprocure. If you ask me in real life or in person how it went...I’d say it was a piece of cake (which it kind of was/is but I’ll speak more on that later) ...however since this is tumblr and I can type whatever the hell I want and god effing dammit I hated the feeling. It wasn’t pain but it was just a feeling of your body being violated. Now this stems from me having 2 teeth removed before I got braces while under “anesthesia” and I felt every minute of that dentist pushing what looked like a screw driver in my teeth trying to wiggle them out. After that day I vowed to never have to do any invasive body procedures...but the difference now is that that was cosmetic and this is medical.

So as I’m feeling the doctor push and screw something in my leg (no pain though) I’m just wishing for this to be over. When suddenly I feel the pen on my skin again and I ask ““are we done.” And he says ““I’m just stiching you up” . Phewwwwww. Wow. It was over. I’d say from beginning to end it was 8 minutes total. 5 of them with that thing rattling your bone and feeling it radiate from your shin to your knee and thigh bone. It sucked. But no pain. I guess as I closed my eyes trying to get away into a happy place all I could do was picture The screw getting drilled into me. And that’s what made it worse. Process overall was a 4/10 no discomfort. There’s probably accidents that you’ve endured in the past that was worse than this. But for me I couldn’t wait for it to be over.

So now the reclining chair is being stood up and I’m now back in reality. The doc starts bandaging my foot and now I really can’t feel nothing though I can wiggle it. He says he feels really good about the procedure..takes another X-ray and he shows me where the screw is. He said it’s the most perfect place it can be . So that was a relief. He tells me I have to continue taking the anti biotics that he prescribed to me before the surgery and that I can take some alleve to reduce inflammation. No other meds or painkillers prescribed but I would have taken them anyway. He brings out a boot and says I’m ok to walk on it which made me feel a little iffy about doing so but I was able to walk on it no pain. Perhaps it was the anastehsia but it didn’t feel discomforting. He then gave me a cane just in case and so I called an Uber, discussed some other little details and I went home.

Once I go home I didn’t feel totally handicapped but I didnt like the thought of putting too much pressure on the foot even with the walking boot on so I began to hop which made my right foot start to hurt now -_- . Nonetheless for a left foot surgery and a bandage that was as thick as a cast I wasn’t totally immobile . I was just hopping some using the cane and holding unto things the whole day. My daily duties today have included taking care of 2 puppies. Yes that’s right 2 puppies by myself and with some help from my roommate. Ordering Chinese food, and just taking it easy for the most part.

Right now it’s 3:09 am NY time and I’ve had the hyprocure 2 inside of me for about 16...??? Hours now. The anastehsia has definitely worn off though it feels like my foots asleep. Maybe the bandage is too tight? He did say if it was too tight to just cut the edges of the bandage off (or maybe he struck a nerve haha) j.k knock on wood.

Anyway the pain now I’d say is about 3/10. It just feels like you banged up your foot and it’s wrapped. What hurts me most is not the physical part it’s just the thought of it all it makes me cringe. Sort of like when you hear those screeches on tv or like nails on chalkboard. I really hope this alleviates me. This is officially day 1 of hyprocure 2 done Sunday 4th 2018 . I will be keeping in touch with you guys for as long as I am bed ridden.

P.s the doctor told me the difference between the hyprocure 2 is that it’s designed to stay in better. Less chance of getting dislodges or coming out.

Peace to you all.

Holby City S19 E13 - I Do, I Do, I Do.

What follows may be a disjointed review. And long. Sorry! I really ought to have a rewatch before I post, but I’m not ready. So, there may be future reblogs if I miss anything important.

Firstly, Mr T’s wedding. I was ridiculously pleased to see Hanssen back, I always miss him when he’s gone. And it’s remarkable how well he managed to pull the Swedish trad attire look - never more noticeable than when he and Hanssen were making their way back to find Mo after Hanssen applied his uncanny ability to see right through everyone’s personal feelings - let’s call him the Feelings Fairy, or the Fairy Feeling-Father of Holby... But I digress.

Hanssen was great in this episode. As just mentioned, his counselling of Mr T that it’s Mo that he loves - coupled nicely with his wedding speech with the nod to Mo about everything that is meant to be happens eventually. Hiding in the tower, looking for woodpeckers to avoid being chased by Mama T, and just generally his reaction to the totally inappropriate sexual harrassment from the aforementioned Mama T.

Mo was great in this ep too. She looked amazing and had some great one liners, something about Swedish feet and lack of nerve endings, or some such! She knew what she was doing, telling Mama T about the lack of baby. She knew Mama T would blow the whistle. And hell, fair play, why not? If she couldn’t do it herself, best to hand the reins over! Also loved the birthing scene, with Mr T, Mo and baby Charleston. (Wonder how long they get to be happy before Charlie’s life is threatened?)

Without a doubt, the undeniable star of the wedding show was the inimitable Jac Naylor, Queen of sarcasm. She was just an absolute delight, from her first appearance in her suit, to her reluctant wedding dance and appeal to Mo to rescue her, down to her complaints about being Mo’s unplanned birthing partner for a second time. But then just getting into the water with all her damned clothes on to help Mo out regardless. And then, missing the drama and getting drunk... I can say without question that Jac was the saving grace for me tonight.

HOWEVER. I barely concentrated on a moment of the damned wedding. Even the Jac bits just flitted before my eyes. Because the whole episode was waiting for the next Elinor/Jason bit. There had been no secret in the spoilers that there would be a) an accident involving Elinor and Jason, and b) Serena and Mo would be having life changing experiences. Now, I may not be a rocket scientist, but...

So, on to the only bit I managed to really take in.

Wow, the accident happened early in the episode. When Elinor came in wired, talking about her report that she’d written, it appeared early on that her drug use was going to play a bit part in the episode. Actually, that theme was continued on later, when she was asking Jasmine where she could put her bag so that it was ‘out of the way’, ie hiding the evidence. However, from that point, the drugs were not really mentioned. I am surprised, however I suspect the issue may resurface (theories later).

The basis of the argument, or Serena supposedly keeping things from Elinor, turned out to be something as minor as Serena having stepped down as CEO and not discussed it with Elinor. It seems silly, but I guess if Elinor is feeling a little at sea having to adjust to a new relationship in her mothers life (gender irrelevant), then I guess she’s more likely to be a bit sensitive about everything, even the littlest things. And the drugs don’t help, kids!

Cue the racing to follow her out, and the accident - which Serena puts down to Elinor being so tired from being up all night.

Bernie was absolutely awesome, taking control. I guess her army training coming to the fore, as she has undoubtedly got feelings for Jason herself. She was amazing in theatre, although I felt the ‘it can’t be done’ from Morven, followed by the highly risky, almost impossible liver lac repair being successfully achieved by one Bernie Wolfe, Trauma Surgeon extraordinare was a mite heavy handed. Especially considering later events.

Bernie’s moment after the surgery, when all her emotions came out, was just beautiful. At the time, I was disappointed that we didnt get to see her break the good news to Serena, but again, later events explained why that wasn’t done.

Serena’s chat with (most probably shiftily playing around with drug paraphenalia) Elinor in the locker room was lovely. I loved the attempts at openness on both sides, of course designed to make Elinor a more sympathetic character before sending her to her fate, and Serena’s game was really sweet. Also Serena’s later reveal to Jason that she was thinking about inviting Ellie back to live with them again, ramping up the angst.

I will mention Liberty briefly, but I don’t think she deserves it. I can’t really see the point of her character anyway, so she showed up whilst Serena had to perform life saving surgery - she served no purpose to me at all, she didn’t make Serena look bad, she just showed up then buggered off, leaving nary a ripple on my screen.

Now to Elinor’s collapse. Naughty, naughty Jasmine. She is a doctor, yes? Since when is it OK for doctors to let themselves be talked out of giving a patient neuro obs? I know people can refuse treatment, but Ellie technically didn’t do that, and hells, woman, she’s Serena’s daughter. Mindless stupid girl. Not endeared her to me at all.

Bernie and Serena whilst watching Ellie’s surgery were lovely. The hand clutching for support, perfect. And finally, Serena at Elinor’s bedside running through the neuro tests that Ellie had failed - all the basic tests to determine brain stem function. Which seemingly is not present in Ellie. An absolutely heartbreaking scene. Bernie has clearly demonstrated her commitment to be there for Serena, which is great. BUT, I do feel that this disaster has been of rather epic proportions, quite unnecessarily so. I believe exactly the same committment could have been shown without tearing Serena’s life apart quite so dramatically.

I rather discordant note from that scene - for me - was Bernie asking Serena if Elinor was a donor. I don’t think Bernie should have done that at all. She was there as Serena’s support, not a transplant co-ordinator. And to have brought that up as a ‘spouse’, well, I think perhaps it’s a little soon in their relationship to be claiming joint parental responsibility for Elinor, especially with Elinor’s reaction to them.

This a pretty long post, seems a bit pointless to put a cut in now, but since I’m about to chuck in some speculation, here goes.

Elinor’s drug use. As I mentioned, with the repeated nods to it within the story, it seems that Serena is still unaware.. I feel it’s likely that the discovery has something to do with the chewing out she gives Jasmine in the Autumn trailer - so that’s one way they’re going to use it. But how will it come up now? My main bet is that Serena will decide to donate Ellie’s organs, so something good can come out of her death. But then some test or other will somehow highlight her drug use and render her organs unusable. Yet another blow for Serena. But with this theory, why do it? Does it really add to the drama? They’ve already established that the car accident could just have been a combination of tiredness and upset from the argument. They didn’t need to have Elinor as a drug user - the pain tht the knowledge would have brought Serena would have been far greater in life than after Ellie’s death, surely? It just seems extremely unnecessary - unless it really IS just a tool to allow Serena to yell at Jasmine, and surely, she’s got more than enough reason without that one.

My other theory, and I am aware that this is not going to happen (apparently some writer on Twitter categorically confirmed that Elinor was dead?) was that the drug use could have a far more interesting part to play. In an (quite possibly outdated and superceded) medical paper from the 1980s detailing the criteria for determining brain death, as seen here, in the case of head injury combined with a history of drug use, accurate measures of brain stem activity can’t be determined until several days have passed, as drug use could cause a temporary lack of activity. Therefore, I feel the most effective use of the storyline would be to have this happen - in other words, the drama without the death. It would still have been unlikely in this scenario that Elinor would have recovered unscathed, so still plenty of scope for long term angst. That, folks, is how I would’ve written it anyway :-)

Anyway, I rarely speculate quite so wildly in these reviews, so apologies. There are a lot of feelings out there at the moment, some folks are hopeful, others disheartened, and others still are painfully affected by the story. Regardless of which each viewer is, it’s undeniable that it’s going to be hard to watch, because if you’re reading this, there’s a fair bet you care about the characters. Bernie wasn’t wrong when she said that no parent should outlive their child. As an avenue to explore Bernie’s commitment to Serena, it all seems a bit crass to me. But we will no doubt get some amazing acting out of it.

Grief sometimes brings couples together. But sometimes it drives them apart. And since I’m all aboard the speculation train, I am just going to throw one last thought out there. I don’t know when JR’s contract is up, but Serena’s grief and pushing Bernie away, hell, it’s not inconceivable that a few months down the road it could be a departure storyline. Grief doesn’t pass overnight, the ramifications can be seen months down the line. And there’s only so long Bernie can try to be there for Serena if Serena chooses to repeatedly push her away. (Not specifically saying this is what I think will happen. Just generally sayin’!)
