do you have any fic recs for the mentalist?

I told you I’d post some for you tonight and here they are!! Unfortunately I did a lot of reading while I was still obstinately REFUSING to make another ffnet account, so I didn’t save like a good 90% of what I read, some of which was excellent. But here are some of the ones I did +fav or whatever they call it there. No particular genre since your ask was open ended, but, well-

(sorry in advance - these are mostly ffnet links but they’re worth braving that site I swear)

((also this is definitely a non-exhaustive list. there’s some real talent in this fandom))

Consummate Connection Confrontation - these are three separate fics in that order by the absolutely inimitable @hardlyloquatious. Literally everything they’ve written is amazing. I’ve completely exposed myself because my first rec is sort of. uh, lightly 18+. But I had to put this author at the top of my list because I love them so much. The way Jane talks in Consummate has literally kept me awake more than once. It’s honestly more sweet and touching than anything but it’s definitely uh. not something your boss should catch you with I guess.

Long Lost, Long Last - same author. This was written and posted before My Blue Heaven aired, but it has the same vibe as that episode, except deliciously drawn out. It starts off with Jane being his kinda silly self and deciding he wants to try his hand at letter writing, so he writes little notes for the whole team. Lisbon is the only one who gives him a note back, and they take to leaving each other lil notes - until RJ is killed and Jane disappears to do some soul searching. This fic is so... beautiful and I think about it with some frequency. “Consummate” is hot but Long Lost Long Last is why HL is my fave TM author.

Practice - okay one last one from this author. This one isn’t like, groundbreaking, but it’s just the SWEETEST look at how much Jane tries after they get together. I’m a sucker for Jane being sweet. Clearly, since that’s why Consummate is at the top of this list.

Blood Red Moon - the author is 221b Baker Street. Their fics are a LOT more heavy. But they’re so, so good. Their mastery of language is incredible and their fics read like professionally written books - and they do Jane/Lisbon banter incredibly well. Some of the imagery they use has genuinely stuck with me. Also see Sacraments in Scarlet (Jane pretends to be a priest), Arsenic and Red Lace (murder at an assisted care facility and Jane being the cheery and extremely sad bastard that he is), Jonathon Redding (a take on Red John that is deeply clever), a Road lEss traveleD (this is. unsettling. it’s extremely good but save it for the last from this author, wait until you love them first. The payoff for not-as-it-seems comes towards the end but it really is worth waiting for).

Blood Wind - by Gone2Far speaking of unsettling. THIS ONE. God this fic is so good. Spooky as fuck in a way that’s a little X-Filesy and incredibly well written. I want to live very far from this fic while at the same time wrapping myself in its words so I can borrow a crumb of talent.

In Case series - @halfagonyandhope (yay, they’re on tumblr). This rec list isn’t necessarily in any sort of order because after HL, halfagonyandhope is second fave author. This particular series is SO ROMANTIC and LOVELY and I kinda wanna cry kinda wanna read it again and again. My favorite one in the series is Ya’aburnee but you have to read the ones preceding it to make any sort of sense. Also now that I’m looking at all of these again I’m realizing that apparently the second installment stuck with me more than I expected because I wrote more than 10k words of something that has a vaguely similar theme (which I will post later).

Qumran and Reset - by J. Roddam. This author only ever seems to have written these two but they’re fucking EXQUISITE. I generally avoid AUs in this fandom because the concept of erasing Jane’s past does NOT sit right with me but Reset is one of the only exceptions I’ve made. It has soulmate vibes without being like, a tumblr soulmate story. Both of them are living SUCH different lives than their canon counterparts but somehow it actually works and it’s beautiful. Qumran is similarly without peer.

Pretending, I: Witness - @inkstainedfingers97. I wouldn’t even know where to start but I love every single thing about this fic - and it’s recently been completed! I was lucky enough to get to binge read a majority of it but waiting for updates was also genuinely thrilling too. Fake/Real Married for WITSEC reasons, real love for obvious reasons. Also the Lorelei dynamic is way more intense than on the show in a way that’s at once very uncomfortable and very believable.

27 Minutes - by Idan. Okay. Okay so this author commented on one of my fics and I almost lost it because I really love theirs. I was smiling for like an hour when I saw the notification from them!! 27 Min is my favorite one but In The Cards is widely rec’d by others for very good reason, it’s so good. The Pretender is also excellent, written based on promos of Orange Blossom Ice Cream and so a bit AU from there.

Eighteen Hours - I would definitely be remiss if I didn’t mention @leafenclaw (and actually, I was remiss because I realized while making this post that theirs were some of those early fics I read that I never +fave etc, so ty for the ask so I can do it now, anon). Leafenclaw writes SO well and I have an extra soft spot for them because they pointed me in the direction of a lot of fics and were one of the first ppl I ever spoke with in this fandom since luckily they’re on tumblr too. Also Kindred (note - both of these are still WIP but being updated/worked on!) Chasing Storms is complete, incredible, angsty, beautiful. Also I kind of want to borrow the idea of writing one story around a set of many prompts like this. I don’t actually think I’ve ever seen anyone else do that?

The Long Way Back - by LouiseKurylo I consider them sort of a friend because they’ve been SO supportive while I was writing Saving Grace but even before that with a new suit, another pair of socks, and a terrible couch. And I’ve seen them supporting everybody else too - they’re just SO NICE. Their fics are also very interesting, and they sort of bring Jane and Lisbon much more into the real world. There’s more real life problems to go hand in hand with mentalist plot type problems, which makes for very interesting reading. Fischer in this particular fic is FASCINATING. Also, a hot tip @leafenclaw shared with me: Louise’s faves list has 500 stories in it and pretty much everything in there is worth reading.

Last but OBVIOUSLY not least I wanna mention some of the very cute and talented and actively posting people here on tumblr in our little mentalist squad of approximately 12 people lmao. You probably already know @gracevanpelt aka LilyThistle’s Big Blue, Red Road, Breathe, and Collusion. I have an especially soft spot for Breathe actually even though it’s the least plotty of the lot. I just think it works so perfectly on its own, as is, like a quiet little interlude. No muss no fuss as Jane would say - and I love it a lot. @asambergs aka cmbing’s how glad i am that you exist is actually the FIRST piece of Mentalist fic I ever read, and then I was pulled down this slippery slope to end up posting this at 11:52 pm on a Thursday night. And I’m not about to forget @pjane aka epaynter whose words are so beautifully atmospheric and who writes the softest Jane (I love Soft Jane and will fight anyone who disagrees about it!!)

Aaaand a nice and shameless self plug in the form of ao3 links: Come Fly With Me (this is the softest thing I’ve ever written), Saving Grace (an actual, complete, fully plotted fic. 14 year old me is SHAKING), a new suit, a terrible couch, another pair of socks (this last was inspired by @asambergs fics actually, and was the first thing I wrote in this fandom!)

#the mentalist #the mentalist fic #PLEASE let the readmore work this is a longass post #long post #i will be reblogging it at least once so you see it anon - idk what time zone you are!#Anonymous

Meeting and dating Charlie Dalton

(Not my gif) (requested by anonymous)

- You meet Charlie on the first day of school when everyone is saying goodbye to their parents. You were just staying off to the side and waiting for your father when Charlie spots you.

- He almost immediately decides ‘I’m going to flirt with that gorgeous girl sitting on that bench’ and gives his friends a sly look before slinking off towards you. He strikes up an amusing conversation full of charming pick up lines and compliments that make you swoon ...that is until your father; the headmaster, shows up behind him.

“I see you’ve met my daughter Mr. Dalton.”

- “Oh this is your … this is your … haha okay well I’m gonna go say goodbye to my family now. See you around y/n ...or not.” He adds on as your father sends him a glare. But the way the boy keeps turning back and looking at you as he’s walking away makes you believe this isn’t the last time you’ll see him... and you were right.

- He talks and flirts with you a lot after that. He’s pretty shameless about it although he tries to keep it away from your father considering he usually threatens him with detention whenever he sees the two of you together.

- He starts visiting you at your house after you tell him your address, hoping you can see him away from your fathers eyes. He sneaks out of Welton to sneak you out of your house more often then not.

- The boys joke and tease him about your little romance. They call you two the Romeo and Juliet of Hellton; he couldn’t be prouder.

- One night while you’re trying to sleep you hear a knock on your window. It’s Charlie of course and as you’re starting to scold him for showing up so late he pulls you into a kiss.

“Sorry, just couldn’t help myself. Come on, I have to show you something.”

- He takes you to the cave and basically tries his hardest to make you swoon. Poetry, candles, deep conversations and affection. You can’t even lie to yourself and say it didn’t work. After three more of these nighttime adventures the two of you start dating in secret.

- Your dad probably never even finds out until like a year later. He’s pissed but at that point the boy is obviously committed to you and it’s far too late to order you to dump him.

- He lets you do his makeup whenever you want. He doesnt outwardly admit he likes it but you can tell he does.

- He has a ton of pet names that he likes to use, things like babygirl, hot stuff, sweetheart or something poetic when he’s in the mood.

- Lots of innuendos and attempts to get laid; he’s only half joking when he uses them/tries. They rarely work

“So what are we doing tonight Charlie.”

“It all depends on the mood baby. Things could get pretty hot.”

“Nice try.”

- Getting your lipstick stolen. Kisses smeared in lipstick. Giggling at his stained cheeks and lips. Just a lot of stuff having to do with his interest in lipstick.

- Always coming up with ways to sneak you away and off with him. He likes the adrenaline rush it brings when you have a chance at being caught and the fact that he’s breaking the rules seems to add a certain spark to your dates. He always feels very proud when you get away with it.

- He takes all the blame if you guys ever get in trouble. It’s partly because he likes the affection and attention you give him when he gets punished.

- He loves to pester and annoy you. He always ends with a “You know you love me~”. You usually reply with “Don’t be too sure kiddo.” Which prompts him to act over dramatically offended.

- Has probably written your name on his chest and flashed you. It makes you laugh more than it makes you impressed or whatever other reaction he’s looking for.

- Really extravagant and over the top gifts. He usually enlists the boys help with getting them.

- Passionate kisses.

- Watching the sunset together; it’s just about the only time that he genuinely doesn’t try to make jokes and says something poetic without trying.

- He will fight anyone who disrespects you, like hold him back because he’s going to throw punches.

- He’s always trying to make you laugh; it makes him feel all warm and fuzzy when he brings a smile to your face.

- Laughing through kisses.

- Mid sex-

“Call me Nuwanda baby.”

“Charlie I swear to god.”

- Turns his head so when you try to kiss his cheek you end up kissing his lips. He always gives you a smug little grin after he does it.

- The boy is an attention seeker. Your eyes have to be on him like atleast 90% of the time or he will do something stupid to get them on him.

- A f f e c t i o n s t a r v e d

- Half of the dead poets society has a shitty relationship with their parents so this applys to a lot of them obviously including Charlie.

- He can fall asleep in seconds if you run your hands through his hair.

- The kind of guy to move your hand to cup his face when you’re alone together. He likes the feel of your skin against his and the soft warmth of your hands.

- Cuddling; he likes to hold your hand under his while it rests on his chest.

- His friends have to constantly hear how he has a ‘hot ass girlfriend’ and how it makes him better than them. They’re only slightly jealous.

- Dancing in the woods together.

- Sneaky kisses in the hallway whenever you come to visit your father.

- Quickly breaking apart once someone walks by. He breaks out laughing when they’re gone, you have to slap his chest to get him to stop.

- Defending him when he’s going to get really harsh punishments.

- There’s not a lot of serious moments together. It seems like every moment your together your cheeks are hurting from laughing and smiling so much.

- Plays the sax for you.

- He always tries to push people’s buttons, especially your fathers.

“Dammit Charlie put out that cigarette.”

- He’s up for basically anything you want to do. He loves a good adventure.

- Helping him with his work, which is mostly making sure he actually does his work.

- Compliments every now and again; mostly when you need them or when he’s totally in awe and doesn’t know what else to say to you.

- Speaking of: He occasionally gets tongue tied when he sees you. He doesn’t even know why a lot of the time, it just happens.

- Has probably said ‘I love you’ twice in like your whole relationship. He doesn’t like talking about his feelings or being vulnerable.

- Romantic poetry that is most likely written by really old poets. He dramatically reads them to you while twirling a rose. It’s an amusing sight to say the least, especially when he does it in public.

- Probably writes your name all over his paper when he should be writing notes. If anyone looks at it, he gives them a look that basically says ‘I dare you to say something’.

- Long hugs.

- Fights are a rare thing. They’re usually because you didn’t side with him when he was fighting with his friends.

- He’s a pretty jealous dude; he doesn’t like people messing with you. But at the same time he also tries to make you jealous when he’s in his Nuwanda phase.

- His arm around your shoulder, walking down the halls as he finger guns people and winks.

- He’s the comeback king and you’re his queen. You have competitions on who can make the other speechless.

- Leans in your doorway and watches as you get changed or do your makeup.

“Look at my beautiful girl.”

- Spontaneous dates and kisses; he likes keeping you on the edge.

- Finding cute love notes left on your pillow in the morning after he stays the night.

- He’s always there to comfort you. He doesn’t really know what to say but he’ll lay a hand on your shoulder and hug you.

- Finding flowers on your windowsill when the society has meetings.

- He’s really suspicious when you go to hold his hand in public; he thinks you’re plotting something.

- Piggyback rides as he runs down the hall.

3 | Bulletproof

Word Count: 2678

Warnings: foul language and implied violence (this one is a bit of a reach but I’m adding it just in case)

A/N: This is more a filler chapter to set some things up for future chapters

Jungkook quietly sits in his seat as he watches his brothers throw curses back and forth. They haven’t fought like this in years. The six of them evenly divided on either side of the issue at hand while he can’t decide which side to join. He’s conflicted to say the least. On one hand, he can see why Hoseok, Yoongi, and Namjoon are adamantly opposing Jin’s suggestion. This Laila girl is a wild card that could flip on them at any second and with the information she knows there’s no way they’d end up anywhere but jail. On the other hand, Jungkook can see the reasoning behind Jin’s argument and why Jimin and Taehyung support him in it. While Laila does in fact know too much, there’s no better way to keep an eye on her than if she works with them. Her maternal lineage and all of the knowledge that it most definitely entails could also benefit the group as a whole to make them function more efficiently. The pros and cons of each argument are nearly even.

Everyone is so busy trying to prove their own point that none of them even notice when Jungkook quietly slips from the room. The youngest member grabs his car keys and his favorite hoodie from his room before slipping out into the night. His sleek sports car hugs the road as he drives to the address he’s had committed to memory ever since Yoongi first voiced his suspicions of Ms. Laila Song. He’d known from the start that, if it ever came down to it, he’d be the one that Jin would ask to take her out. That’s his forte. Quietly and quickly eliminating a target before they even realize that the dark presence they feel behind them is more than just their own imagination.

His mind goes over all of the possible entry points to Laila’s townhome that he remembers from the blueprints he’d stolen from the city planning office. Jungkook carefully parallel parks his car a little ways down the street. He’s close enough that he can see the soft glow of light coming from Laila’s living room, but far enough away that he knows she wouldn’t be able to see him if she were to look outside. His eyes scan the street, a mask covering the lower half of his face and his hands stuffed into the front pocket of his hoodie, as he walks up to the townhome. He makes to go for the back window that leads into her laundry room but the mental image of Kihyun hog tied in an alley quickly changes his mind.

Laila immediately goes on red alert at the sound of three short knocks on her front door. Cyn hisses in her lap as she senses the sudden change in Laila’s mood. Her entire body tenses up when whoever is at her door knocks again.

“Come on, Laila. I know you’re in there.” The stranger at her door whines. She doesn’t recognize the voice but whoever it is must be connected with Jin in some way or another. Laila doesn’t really have friends. Only Cyn and Miss Annie and one of them purrs so she’s not sure that counts.

She attempts to refocus her attention on the tv show she’s been binging on all day but the whiny stranger at the door continues to demand her attention. She swears that he’s worse than her cat. Laila rolls her eyes, moving Cyn to the couch cushion next to her among much protest before warily padding her way to the door. She lets her eyes rest on the hiding places of the various weapons at her disposal. Well-hidden yet easily accessible to those who know where they are. She freaks out a little when she peeks through the peephole only to see a giant eyeball already pressed against it.

She recognizes the man at her door from her uncle’s files when he backs away. Jeon Jungkook. Main vocalist of BTS and contract killer. From what she’s read, he likes to be up close and personal when he takes care of business. The man in question grins widely when Laila swings the door open. For a second, Laila has a hard time believing that the child in front of her could be anywhere near as deadly as her uncle described in his notes. It’s when she really looks into his eyes that she realizes that his true power lies in his perceived innocence. His cuteness is incredibly disarming but there’s something in his eyes that belies the dark stain on his soul. It’s a hard edge that doesn’t quite belong.

“Can I help you, Jungkook?” She questions with a hand on her hip. The tinkling sound of bells can be heard as Cyn winds her way around her ankles, sniffing at their unwanted visitor warily before deciding that he’s okay.

The feline is purring loudly as she demands attention but Laila doesn’t dare take her eyes off of Jungkook for a single second. She knows as well as he does that he would only need a second to end her. Jungkook seems like he’s gotten a shock or smelled something bad. His face is all twisted up but just as Laila opens her mouth to ask questions his megawatt smile returns.

“Is that Shameless?” He asks excitedly after catching a glimpse of the tv screen, ducking under Laila’s arm. She’s so surprised that her words fail her as she watches Jungkook kick his sneakers off and make himself comfy on her love seat. “Carl is my fucking hero. Fuck Debbie though. She can choke.” Laila rolls her eyes as she shuts and locks her front door once more.

Jungkook’s eyes are trained on the screen but he notices Laila’s movements in his peripheral vision. His hands are loose and ready in his lap as he prepares himself for any sudden movement. He’s in awe of the way she seems to glide across the hardwood floor. Her bare feet barely make a sound as she crosses the room. The way she walks is reminiscent of the Bengal cat that she owns, graceful yet powerful. Part of him wonders if she could teach him how to move that soundlessly.

“I’m only going to say this once, but I agree. Carl is amazing and Debbie ain’t shit.” Jungkook snorts in agreement. He lets out an excited noise when Cyn leaps into his lap and makes herself comfortable.

Laila figures that she may as well take this opportunity to weasel information out of Jungkook while she can. He seems like the type that’ll accidentally spill a secret or two if you play him right and Laila has always loved games. Laila is about to launch her first attack when Jungkook beats her to the punch once again.

“Jin wants you to work with us.” The weight of Jungkook unexpected statement slams into Laila with all the force of a speeding bullet train. That wasn’t even on the list of possible things that she’d predicted might come out of his mouth. Not even close.

“He wants me to what?” She asks incredulously. There’s no way in hell she heard that right. Work with Kim Seokjin? That’s got to be a fancy way of saying he’s going to put a price on her head. There’s no way it’s not.

“He wants you to work with us like be on payroll and everything.” Jungkook rambles on about the different “job opportunities” that she could undertake on the team. Combat training, negotiations, “sales”, the list never seems to end. Laila begins to wish that the young man was actually here to kill her instead. It would be a hell of a lot easier to go on the run than to be in the upper echelon of one of the biggest crime syndicates since her mother left the game in the 90s.

Hysterical laughter bubbles up out of Laila’s chest. Her cackling jolts Cyn out of the peaceful slumber she’d slipped into while Jungkook’s words trail off. He cocks his head to the side in confusion as Laila nearly rolls of the couch. What could possibly be that funny?

“That has got to be the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard in my entire life.” Laila gasps out in between each staggered breath. Jungkook pouts cutely. He was starting to get excited about working with her the more he talked about it but Laila doesn’t seem too interested to say the least.

“I’m sorry for laughing but Jin has officially lost his damn mind if he thinks that I’m about to join his merry band of criminals.” Deciding that she’s had enough entertainment for the night, Laila switches her tv off and rises from the couch. She stretches her arms over her head and politely tells Jungkook to leave.

“I’m not leaving until you tell me why you don’t want to work with us.” Jungkook replies from his spot on the love seat that he has yet to vacate. He crosses his arms like a petulant child. Bottom lip poked out and everything.

“Oh my god I don’t fucking have time for this.” Laila sits back down on the couch, reaching down between the cushions to her right. Jungkook is wary and his suspicion is quickly justified when a knife embeds itself in the back of the couch, barely a millimeter shy of the smooth skin of his neck. The cat in his lap doesn’t even flinch at the whistling noise of the blade as if this is a normal occurrence. “You either leave on your own or I’ll bury you outback. Take your pick.”

Jungkook decides then and there that he would serve this woman his heart on a silver platter. Call him twisted, but the fact that she nearly ended his life just then has all of the blood rushing to his dick. Laila doesn’t know it yet, but all she’s done is strengthen his determination.

“Fine, I’ll leave.” Cyn whines at being disturbed as Jungkook rises to his feet. He moves to stand in front of her, smirking at the way she tilts her head back to look up at him. Her hand tightens around what’s most likely another knife as he tucks a few of her braids behind her right ear. “But I have a feeling that we’ll be seeing each other again very soon.”

The wide smile that covers his face sends chills down Laila’s spine. It’s sinister. Dark. She contemplates shoving the knife in her hand between his ribs but something in her tells her that no matter how at ease Jungkook looks, she probably wouldn’t get half the chance to carry out such a plan.

“Goodbye, Jungkook.” She grits out. He grins at her once more, scratching Cyn between the ears one final time before heading out the door.

Jungkook had figured that everyone would blow his phone up when they finally stopped arguing long enough to realize that he’d left which is precisely why he’d left his phone in his car. Sure enough, the amount of missed calls is dangerously close to hitting triple digits. The phone vibrates in his hand with a new call from Jimin.

“Fucking finally! Where did you go you twat?” Jimin screeches into his ear.

“Jimin, I’m in love.” Jungkook answers with a dopey grin on his face as he eases his car out of the parking space. He fills Jimin in on his little adventure as he weaves his way through traffic on the highway.

“First of all, you’re a dick for not taking me with you.” Jimin starts, obviously feeling some type of way at being left out of Jungkook’s plans. “Second of all, is she as hot as she looks in these surveillance videos?”

“If someone told me she was actually Aphrodite, I’d believe them.” Jungkook answers. Laila’s face floats across his memory as he recalls just how breathtaking she was in person. The plush fullness of her lips. Her smooth skin a rich brown that had almost seemed to glow wherever the light touched it. Even the way her slender fingers had gripped the handle of the knife she’d launched at him had been beautiful.

* * *

Several smacks to the back of his head and neck along with indignant shouts is how Jungkook is welcomed back home. He scowls at his brothers as he wards off a few stray hits from Hoseok and Jimin. They’re all lucky that he loves them.

“Jimin told us where you went you fucker and honestly you’ve got some nerve not taking me with you.” Taehyung proclaims as he flops down on the couch with his Nintendo switch.

“I was planning to break in and you wouldn’t know how to be quiet if I paid you. This is why you’re not allowed to bring people home anymore.” Hoseok falls over into Namjoon’s lap as Taehyung pouts. Jungkook pushes Tae’s legs over to make room for himself on the expensive leather couch.

“You said you were planning to break in so does that mean you didn’t?” Namjoon questions. He’s always reading between the lines which is why he’s the one that does all the heavy negotiating. Nothing gets by him.

“I knocked on the door like a normal person. The thought of ending up Kihyun told me that was the better option.” Namjoon nods in concession to his point. No one wants to end up like Kihyun.

Jungkook turns to the eldest of their merry band of misfits who is currently leaning over the back of the couch totally enraptured with whatever game Taehyung is playing.

“I told her you want her to work with us. She said it’s the dumbest idea she’s ever heard.” Jin’s eyes lift to Jungkook’s face and the youngest member can almost see the gears turning in Jin’s head.

“See there Jin. I told you your idea was stupid.” Hoseok dodges the pillow that Jin flings at him as he happily stuffs chips in his mouth.

Jin straightens as his mind races with possible next steps. Six pairs of eyes follow his every movement when he starts pacing back and forth along the length of the couch. He freezes mid step when the perfect solution comes to him. He can’t believe that he didn’t think of it before now. They leave for Japan for a week in the morning so his plan will have to wait till then but there’s no way this won’t work.

“Hobi, Tae, you two are up when we get back from Japan.” Jin instructs much to Hoseok’s displeasure. Taehyung is only too excited to finally get to lay eyes on the Laila Song. He even pauses his game to voice his appreciation. Hoseok on the other hand would rather eat glass.

“This is fucked. Why do we have to go?” he demands, standing from his seat immediately. Chips fly from his open bag as he animatedly waves his arms around in frustration.

Jin shuts him down with a single look. “You two numb nuts are the most persuasive out of all of us and I refuse to be turned down twice so whether you like it or not, you’re going.”

Hoseok continues to mumble under his breath but he knows not to continue to arguing with Jin. An idea on how to take care of Ms. Song before they return from Japan suddenly comes to him and just like Jungkook did earlier, Hoseok slips from the room to make a phone call. Light breathing on the other end is the only indication that his call has been answered. Hoseok rattles off a price and Laila’s address.

“Done.” Hoseok smiles slyly. Fuck Jin if he thinks he’s about to waste his energy trying to convince that problem with tits to take part in his livelihood. He doesn’t trust her and never will and Jin’s a fool for not doing this earlier. Jin might be the leader around here, but even leaders make messes sometimes that need to be cleaned up.

One time, in the year 2003 or 2002, in my pre-teen years when 90% of funny jokes are made up by stupid and shameless sex references, there was an e-mail circulating that was something like ‘the perfect recipe for whatever’ and it was a bunch of ingredients made up to basically represent a sex act. Like, at one point there was a donut and a banana, basic stupid shit 12 year olds find funny for no reason. So I copied that down by hand to a notebook, cause that’s how it went back in the day, and took it to school to show it to my mates on the bus home. Well, one of the girls, who was this pesky and haughty snarky bitch I STILL can’t stand, figured she was being ‘left out’ and wanted to know what it was about when she saw us stupid kids giggling like idiots over an old notebook. So I, being a good fucking friend, passed it along to her.

Now, our buses had what we called a ‘vigilante’, which I suppose would be a custodian. A woman, generally in a horrible mood, whose excuse to abuse kids in an environment where she is allowed to do it, is looking over kids, making sure they don’t screw up, in private school. And this bitch who wanted to know what the notebook had (a pretty R-rated stupid text that wasn’t funny, remember, but we were horny 12 year olds), as soon as she grabbed the notebook, turned to this custodian, HANDED IT TO HER, and said ‘will you read it?’

As you can imagine, there was a pretty loud collective NO shouted in that moment. But me, I saw my fucking life flash before my eyes. Cause that was my notebook. And this is private school. In private school, sexual stuff exists only in your science class. Outside, you’re an angelic, innocent being, or you’re a pervert. To put it into perspective: dating was forbidden. Any kid caught holding hands was sent to the principal’s office immediately, and their parents called to the school. Like, they wouldn’t even discuss it with you, they’d outright spill the beans to your parents. (Except the good kids, whose parents were super rich. Literally the only two cases I knew of ‘allowed to date on school grounds’ were: a) the director’s grandson who was dating the Smartest And Most Successful Girl in My Class, and b) the daughter of literally the owner and founder of my city’s train company. Yes, I mean fertagus).

Now this custodian, she had an issue I never figured out. I said the custodians in those school basically chose that line of profession because apparently they were allowed there to abuse kids. And this one... This one hated 12 year olds. It was a phenomenon no one ever managed to explain. The moment you turned 13, she would leave you alone. You could do anything you wanted, she wouldn’t touch you. But until that moment, you were treated like an animal. These buses we took home, they were school buses, so we had our friends group we sat with along the way. For years, until I turned 13, she separated us daily for no reason. Sometimes, one of us simply spoke a little loud. I remember one time, she separated us because we were laughing. One time, she looked me in the eye when a guy body slammed me against the window, after repeatedly slapping me and hurting me. She did nothing. She shrugged and ignored. She’s on my hit list.

So when she saw that notebook, boy she had found her golden pot. I swear her eyes lit up. She hated me, like she really fucking detested me, but in that moment, it was like she found the perfect scapegoat. When she asked whose notebook it was, I had to say mine. Silence settled. Terrifying silence.

Immediately, and for moths after, we were all separated. We were forced to sit through 30 minutes alone, isolated from our friends. And I was sent to the principal, of course. Funny enough, they didn’t call my mom.

But have you ever had a teacher call you a pervert and a pig? Cause I had, on that day. This guy was beloved by all. He used to be my brother’s teacher and he loved my brother. But me, I was a fucking glitch (he was a math teacher lmao). He really didn’t like me. And boy, did the words ‘pig’ and ‘pervert’ came out of his mouth swiftly. To a 12 year old.

#momo tells a story #boy if i could blow up that place #literally no good memories

Another ice breaker

Sooo to begin with... I binge watch a lot of shit. I also casually throw around words like 'shit' and 'fuck' but in professional settings I try to substitute, i.e. Holy shirt! Also, even though at times I swear like a pirate, I'm still kind. Anyway these are some of the Shows I binge watch, and am completely caught up with minus a few: Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, Broad City, the Office, Parks and Recreation, Community, Workaholics, Love, Portlandia, Dear White People, the Unbreakable Kimmy. Schmidt, 30 Rock, New Girl, How I Met Your Mother, That 70s Show, Grace and Frankie, How to Get Away with Murder (I'm on season 2- WIP - Work in Progress), Game of Thrones, Girls, The L Word, Gypsy, Parenthood, Modern Family, This is Us, Girl Boss, Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Scrubs, Gossip Girl, Veronica Mars, the O.C., Futurama, Rick and Morty, Atlanta, Insecure, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Death Note, Fairy Tail, Naruto & Shippuuden (not yet caught up with), Deadman Wonderland, Psycho Pass, Fruits Basket, Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, all things Tenchi Muyo except Tokyo, Space Dandy, Master of None, Bleach, Arrested Development, Unsolved Mysteries, Impractical Jokers, Jersey Shore and Party Down South (original cast)(guilty pleasures), Real World in the 90s up to the mid 2000s, Road Rules, Fear Factor (mostly for Joe Rogan😜), Big Brother - only the first season though, with that studmuffin Will Kirby the Mole, Murder in Small Town X, Amazing Race, Malcolm in the Middle, An Idiot Abroad, Ouran High School Host Club, Fullmetal Alchemist & Brotherhood, Once Upon a Time, Shameless, Life documentary, Cosmos: A Space Odyssey, Life in Pieces, Pretty Little Liars, American Horror Story, Walking Dead, Hey! Arnold, Rugrats, Sonic X - don't judge me, it was mostly because of the presence of many different characters and the animation, Lost, 3%, Jackass, Viva la Bam, Boondocks, Aqua Teen Hunger force, Home Movies, O' Grady, Daria, Bob's Burgers, Twin Peaks, Awkward, Degrassi, Radio Free Roscoe, Trailer Park Boys, Sherlock, Dexter, Frasier. I doubt anyone will ever read this but if you are reading and share a mutual love for any of these shows and just wanna share the love, let's be buddies 😝

Megan Reads Oathbringer (part 1)

Me: okay but I don’t remember the back half of WoR, I should really, really finish the reread before starting... Also me: okay, buuuuuuuuuuut................what if I just..............start

[insert evilkermit.jpeg here]

There are a few relevant points of information:

Tags: Megan reads OB and Oathbringer spoilers. (I’ll also have housekeepers on there, like Brandon Sanderson, Stormlight Archive, and Oathbringer, but those first two are the important ones.)

Everything will be under a readmore.

Above the readmore will be the page numbers covered in that liveblog, so you’ll know how far I’ve gotten (and that way, if you’ve read that far you’ll be okay to read the lb).

There's…going to be a lot of swearing? I have learned that I have no control over my language when I get overly emotional and I feel like I’m going to spend a lot of this book overly emotional. I would like to apologize in advance, and while I promise to try to keep my swearing to a minimum, there might be more than a few bad words.

Shameless self-promotion for the previous two liveblogs: WoK and WoR.

I’m pretty sure that’s all the important bits. Enjoy!!

Part One encompasses pages 1-90 (subsequent parts)

*screams quietly into the ether forever*

PROLOGUE

hoooolly shiiiiiiiittt: Eshonai

Please tell me this means we’ll finally learn why the Parshendi killed Gavilar.......

SHE’S SO EXCITED I’M SO SAD I hate knowing what’s happened to her

...the Parshendi...didn’t know about the parshmen? what? the heck?

I’m....baby Esh is so excitable and curious and I.. love her. and I’m so. so sad. that she loses this.

“an indoor privy with running water, a concept she still didn’t understand.” Who does, babe. Who does.

me, every time amaram appears: “fucking asshole. fuck off fckkkk” I just.... hiss like a cat every time his name appears on a page. I hate him. ARGH.

I spelled his name as “aramaram” and had to go correct it I was so upset he was HERE that I forgot how to spell.

“Traitors who had abandoned their gods to be free.” And they FEARED the return of their gods, before stormform and the Everstorm. They feared it--because they were not free... But...stormform isn’t freedom, and their gods are back and....history repeating itself?

Also, the fact that Gavilar took the time to learn her name is very endearing and like... Gavilar was A Good, guys. He tried so hard.

NOOPE NEVERMIND, BAD, ACTUALLY. THAT’S SO SELFISH WHAT THE HECK

“Bring back your evil, destructive, enslaving gods so that we can have our nice, honorable, fighty ones back please.” NO, THAT’S SO DISGUSTING THAT’S SO SELFISH WTH

GAVIILAARRRR. I BELIEVED IN YOU! I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU

WAIT, so he was getting the visions before Dalinar? Did we know this already? That makes sense... it’s very Boromir/Faramir, tbh, but like... what, one died, and Honor was like “welp. guess we’ll try his bro”

wait, okay, so ...the black sphere that he gives Szeth...........what. Esh knows what it is--so it’s some kind of spren. But it’s not the angerspren/hatespren that they bond with for stormform--those are red. So what’s...this one? Voidspren? Are there voidspren? Voidspren to create voidbringers...presumably more powerful than stormform.

I AM CONCERNED.

PART ONE

okay, that map tho; after reading Edgedancer, I’m VERY CONCERNED that there’s an Oathgate to Aimia... I don’t need any more 200-cremlings-in-a-trenchcoat popping up out of nowhere, but thanks anyway

it makes sense that this book stats with Dalinar, but HOW! IS! MY! BOY! WHERE! IS! KALADIN!

Dalinar is so polite tho. saying ‘thank you’ to the Stormfather

Also ONLY SIX DAYS???? AAHH

“It had been a hardy, stubborn lot who had grown in this place.” This is Kholinar: it highstorms nine months of the year, and weeps the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have...cats or chickens, we have...cremlings.

(Though Lisa made a good point--are there actually cremlings?? or are all cremlings just...bits of Aimians scuttling about like spy bugs?)

“The queen had gone silent.” I...genuinely don’t trust her, and I’m more inclined to believe she’s radio silence out of a need to save her own damn skin than any other reason.

......somehow I never really thought that Odium would be light...

THE WOMAN HE LOVED

YAASS.

(I have priorities)

They’re being cute. It’s been, like, half a page and I’m just over here making big, cooing noises at them being cute. help.

OH SHIT THAT WAS QUICK

THEY FOUND SADEAS ALREADY AND I AM CONCERN

(tho, I mean...it took them six days to find the body, that’s....actually not really quick. but still.)

OH WAIT NO, OKAY, IT TOOK THEM ONE DAY WELL SHIT

oh god

Adolin, bby. pls. don’t.... LISTEN, THE FIC I WROTE ABOUT GUILTSPREN WAS A FIC

HI TEFT I HAVE MISSED YOU BUT ALSO PLS CALM DOWN AAAHHHH

this is page frikkin 37 and I’m already dying

I’M SO SCARED OF WHAT IALAI WILL DO. SHE’S GONNA PIN THIS ON BRIDGE 4 I KNOW IT. SHE’S GONNA TRY AND I’M GONNA SCREAM

WHY IS ADOLIN HERE. KIDDO PLS. DOn’T COME BACK TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME I’M

unrelated, but I can’t stop thinking about baby Eshonai basically damning her people to war and revenge to stop their gods from returning and Venli just like...whipping a godling out her pocket like “nvmd, we’re doing this anyway” and like. fuck Venli, tbh.

Back to current events and:

I love Palona.

“steady Adolin and impenetrable Renarin” HE LOVES HIS SONS SO MUCH I’M CRY

“certainly wouldn’t have gone so far as to kill Sadeas themselves” ABOUT THAT

I love that Urithuru has safety railings. like... throwing shade at every big space opera ever.

I still don’t know how I feel about Lopen growing his arm back...

“Our ultimate goal is the preservation of Roshar” Sorry, bud, Preservation is dead...

and also on a different planet.

AAAWWW SNAP! THIRTY-FOUR YEARS AGO! HERE WE GO!!!!

“He didn’t need Shards to intimidate.” Nah, but I bet they help.

tbqh, it’s really, really weird to think of Dalinar fighting not in Shards.

excuse you, that horse did nothing to deserve that.

heheheheh, so much for your nose, bucko

Gooooddddd, Brandon writes battle so cinematically. I want to film this. Gaaaahhh

of...of course punk!Dalinar’s horse is named Fullnight. How deliciously extra of him.

“I tried to kill you!” “from a distance! Which shows remarkably good judgement!” DALINAR, PLEASE.

Enthusiastic ultra-Gryffindor rambo Dalinar is hilarious

It’s been 50 pages, where’s Kaladin

Sadeas in YELLOW shardplate?? who is he?

Also, ngl, I’m a lil pissed that I still have to deal with Sadeas--even if it’s young, not-quite-so-vile Sadeas. Like......he’s dead! I shouldn’t have to put up with his slimy face anymore!

“What would we do without you?” “Lose.” What an asshole. What a dudebro. I hate how much I love him.

the Thrill concerns me, tbh.

I know that we know it is of Odium, but like. It Concerns me.

THAT WAS QUICK

THE EVERSTORM TURNAROUND??? THAT WAS DISTRESSINGLY QUICK?

I’m sad Dalinar doesn’t get a little spren buddy wandering around with him at all times, because, like. Stormfather. But like. spren buddy.

Now I’m trying to picture the vast and infinite Stormfather just flitting around Dalinar’s head in meetings and making faces at Syl across the table and laughing my ass off.

oh NO not her SAFEHAND

seriously, they. are. so. cute.

“Your stubborn refusal to get seduced is making me question my feminine wiles.” HAAAAHAHA OMG, DARLINGS PLEASE

also, Dalinar, omg, give it up already, bro.

I realize there are like...ecological and climatology implications of the Weepings stopping before they are supposed to, but I can’t help but be glad that Kaladin won’t be suffering for as long as he normally would with the seasonal depression...

WHAT! WAS! THE! BOON! ...unless this is the boon. Unless Dalinar asked for the Nightwatcher to take away the pain of losing his wife and instead she took away his wife... and his punishment is something else.

in which case WHAT! WAS! THE! PUNISHMENT!

“I’d let a confused dishwasher marry us.” I realized belatedly that she meant, like...a person who washes dishes. And not a machine that washes dishes that most people on earth have in their kitchens.

Also, Dalinar and Navani really need to please stop being so adorable, I’m SO HAPPY THEY’RE GETTIN MARRIED AND THE FRIKKIN STORMFATHER IS GONNA OFFICIATE THAT’S HILARIOUS I LOVE THEM

I LOVE THAT THE WEDDING IS LIKE... HIM AND NAVANI AND THE BOYS AND SHALLAN AND A FEW OTHER MINIONS. THIS IS DELIGHTFUL. I LOVE THIS

THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THIS I DISLIKE

Bridge Four is too important for guard duty! They’re so important! They’ve come so far!!!! I LOVE THEM!!??

she just had a wedding dress just... lying around.

god I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!

...poor Elhokar. “if only we could keep up.” boy has no confidence and no chance to learn it.

NAVANI’S FRIKKIN GLORYSPREN OMG

“What does he remember that I cannot?” Uh...your other wife, my dude. I’m sure this has something to do with how your wife died.

AAHH. HERE HE IS!!!! THE BOY!!!!! MY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nooooo. no, kaladin please. you didn’t fail. oh god, no, come on. don’t think like that.

I’m

aaahhhhh

“It felt wrong not to bear the symbol of Bridge Four.” AAAHHHHHHH

I’M

!!!!!!!!!

I’m JUST NOT OKAY

aahh, at least he was properly concerned about the Everstorm filling his spheres with...bad stuff? of some kind? I’m super glad that it didn’t, that it doesn’t, but like. At least he was concerned about it!

hello fronds, I love Syl a LOT

also: covered safehand, that’s hilarious. She’s a real grown up, now!

nooooooooooo

it can’t be all dead

they have to have

someone has to have been smart enough to get a large part of the town into shelter

Kaladin, your dad isn’t stupid, he would have. he would have tried.

(this would be way, way more distressing if I hadn’t been spoiled for the fact that Lirin and Hesina are alive...like...I’d probably be crying right now.)

“How often are you going to make me apologize for that?” Pfffft I mean.

HE GREW UP AND THEY DON’T RECOGNIZE HIM AND I’M

AAAHHH

“Are there wounded” and he just GOES because that’s where his dad would be and he just . goes. to his dad.

I’m crying?

THEY’RE CRYING I’M CRYING EVERYONE IS CRYING

THEY THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD AMARAM FUCKING TOLD THEM HE WAS DEAD AND I’M

THEY’RE

“MY SON IS ALIVE” YEAH HE IS AND HE’S AMAZING AND YOU’RE GONNA BE PROUD OF HIM OH

I’M

AAHHHHHH

I really hate Amaram. A lot.

his mom is a good. and she just keeps her hand on his shoulder like protectiveness and like reassurance that he’s still there and I’m. aaaAAAHH

“For now, he just wanted to be here with them.” GOOD. LET THE BOY REST. LET HIM EAT SOUP AND REST.

“The wrong-way highstorm” I mean...not wrong

“They never got to meet Captain Kaladin” aaAAHHH

I HAVE A LOT OF EMOTIONS ABOUT INCARNATIONS OF HUMANS AND I’M

this is a lot

LIRIN OFFERING TO BUY THE WRIT OF SLAVERY IS A LOT I’M JUST

crying

“Perhaps it was time to stop letting the rain dictate his mood. He couldn’t banish the seed of darkness inside him, but Stormfather, he didn’t need to let it rule him either.”

I...have a lot of feelings about Kaladin.

And I have a lot of feelings about how Kaladin and his depression interact and about how he deals with it. And how he’s seen the worst in himself and promised to never let it get that bad again. And how he’s seen that even though it’s a part of himself that he has to keep fighting, keep dealing with, keep understanding, it doesn’t have to be the only thing in him, the only thing in his life, the only part of him that matters. He can have other parts, other important bits of him and his personality. He might always have bad days, but that doesn’t have to be the majority of them. Not if he chooses to be stronger, to try to get better. There’s always going to be depression, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be other things.

It took me a longass time to come to that same realization and I just...am really, really... proud of him? and of myself? and of anyone who has depression who thinks the same way we do? and though I’ve found it to be a smidge disconcerting to have your own personal thought processes spelled out on paper by someone who isn’t you, there’s a comfort in that...I’m not the only one who feels like this, who has these ideas, who makes these decisions about my depression.

Anyway, I really, really love Kaladin and I’m. emotional . and I’m. “He didn’t need to let it rule him either.” No. We don’t. We can deal.

ANYWAY I’M EMOTIONAL ABOUT KALADIN AND IN OTHER NEWS WATER IS WET, FIRE IS HOT, AND THE WORLD IS ROUND.

WAIT. Did Syl.....was she aiming for someone else? “distant yet demanding”. Who else...was she gonna bond with. before Kaladin? My first instinct is Tien, but that...doesn’t fit. One of his men? in his squad? Or before that, Hesina maybe? I’m? ...surely not Lirin...... he’s not. enough.

god, his first thought is that Adolin would be disappointed in fashion heheheheh I love these boys. becoming friends. maybe. hopefully.

KAL PUNCHING ROSHONE IS A++ 100% GRADE A GOOD SHIT

GOD BLESS

AAAAAAHHHHHHH

“That was for my friend Moash” I’M!!!!!!!!!!!! EMOTIONAL!!!! ABOUT MY BOYS!!! AND THEIR FRIENDSHIP!!!!! PERSISTING EVEN THOUGH BAD DECISIONS!!!!

Kaladin’s stubborn refusal to give up on people is. A Lot. EVeRYTHING IS A LOT. THIS IS A LOT

“and for the first time in a long, long while, he was happy with that person.” THAT’S CAUSE YOU’RE A GOOD PERSON THE BEST PERSON AAAHHH

SUMMONING SYL AND “ANY QUESTIONS” AND OHHH MY GOD. that shit’s hot. I��m. hhnnnggggggg

“until he had enough stormlight to fly home.” home. I mean, we knew that “home” wasn’t Hearthstone anymore, but. Dalinar is home. The warcamps, Urithuru. Bridge Four. I...I am so proud of how far Kaladin has come.

“I don’t like the idea of swinging you around, smashing you into things.” “Firstly, I don’t smash into things. I am an elegant and graceful weapon.” HI, I LOVE SYL A LOT

GET IT, LARAL

HECK YE

“That’s a girl I was never going to marry, no matter what happened.” “I like her.” “You would.” I LIKE HER TOO SHE’S STRONG AND CAPABEL AND DON’T NEED NO MAN. GET IT, GIIIRRLL!!!!

I love that Roshar has a Hippocratic oath equivalent. I also have mixed feelings on Lirin’s incredibly strict adherence to his Hippocratic oath equivalent. like..yeah, Do No Harm is one thing. But being self-righteous about it to the point of not wanting your son to fight evil monsters from the void? Take a chill pill, my dude.

NAVANI SPANREEDING HIM PERSONALLY IS A LOT

also, I really have strong feelings about Dalinar generally addressing Kaladin as “soldier” and the responding “Sir.” I know they had a long talk about chain of command, but it’s just. so satisfying that it’s still going.

“Send us a glyph each evening to know you are safe.” GOOD DAD IS WORRIED ABOUT HIS SON AND I’M EMOTIONAL

AAAHHHHH HIS VERY FIRST INSTINCT IS TO HOLD HIS BABY BROTHER I’M!!! KALADIN IS SO GOOD AND LOVING AND WONDERFUL!!!

guys, I don’t know if you know this about me, but I really love Kaladin.

guys, I don’t know if you know this about me, bUT I REALLY LOVE KALADIN.

Chapter 3

we gone do it like it's about to be the end of the world and they're depending on us to make earth shaking love…

Shay

It’s Sunday night. One more day of freedom and then classes start Tuesday. I’m so not ready. Training literally drained me this year.. sitting in lectures for hours and then having to jump right back into classes without a small break is kind of stressful. My brain hates me for this torture.

I decided to give myself a short “Me Time” session before Keith gets here. He decided to come back today instead of Friday. He wanted to spend a little more time with his family before coming back to school. He always decides to leave home when the sun is about to set. It’s a 3 hour drive of corn fields about 90% of the way here.. meaning that it’s dark af. I hate when he does this but Keith is very stubborn and I swear sometimes he thinks he’s invincible and can do it all. At the beginning of our relationship I called him super man lol.

My Superman.

I had so many reasons for this. Mainly because he did so much and I couldn’t understand how he made it through his first year. Keith ran track for the school; he had practice from 3 to 6pm. His classes were from 9am to 2pm. He ALSO worked M-F from 4am to 8am so he could pay his $3000/per semester balance from tuition. Basically he was busy from 3am (the time his alarm goes off) to 6pm and if he’s lucky 5pm. Then he’d have to do homework up until his body can’t stay up any longer. Some days he’d decide to skip out on dinner so he can get straight to his homework, I’d have to force him to go to the dining hall sometimes. If not he’d eat a PB&J sandwich or Ramen noodles and call it a night. Chances are he also didn’t have breakfast… he normally eats a fruit and whatever other snack he has, like a honey bun or a giant cookie. He managed to get a 2.7 GPA that year. It might not sound ideally great, but considering everything he had to do -that was great.

He ended up quitting track that year, he was so hurt. I felt horrible for my baby. I remember telling him “even superman has to make sAcrifices”. Keith is super athletic, before college he played football, basketball, and ran track. He was the best on the field in football and went to state twice in track. The only reason he isn’t on scholarships for sports is because his grades weren’t good in HS and with our school, he took too long to decide on the offer. He wasn’t going to come here. Though he struggled freshman year trying to keep up with his schedule, Keith decided to start working two jobs the next year. Smh. Superman, I’m telling you.

Now we’re juniors, Keith got another scholarship over the summer which helped him out greatly so he was able to quit one job, but he decided to keep the overnight one. The 4am to 8am. So when he gets here, he’ll probably be getting ready for bed.

I spent about an hour and a half just doing me stuff. I took a nice hot shower, exfoliated and shaved. I painted my toenails and fingernails. I felt good. Real good. I also haven’t seen my baby in almost 3 weeks so he better think I look real good too cause I need him ASAP. Lucky for me he didn’t take too long to get here after I finished up.

He unpacked his car and brought his things to my room. I was so happy to see him I just about jumped on him when I let him in. I missed his face. I showed him my Fenty slides that he bought me.

“Those are perfect good. I’m happy cause they go with your other gift.” He grabbed a Victoria secret bag from his tote and gave it to me. There was a white and pink kimono style satin inside the bag. I loved it. I’ve been saying I wanted a satin robe for the longest. He also got me a bunch of my favorite candy, Twix.

“Baby I love it, thank you so much. I can’t believe you remembered about the robe!!”

“I told you I pay attention to you, you be thinking I’m bullshitting. But anything for you girl, happy late birthday” he said to me then I gave him a big kiss.

After Keith settled in he took a shower. He told me he was going to work tomorrow so he could only be up for a while, but he does want to watch Netflix with me. That’s our thing. Watching shows on Netflix. Right now we’re stuck on Shameless. It’s almost 9:30 so we’ll probably squeeze in one episode.

I heated up the food I got him earlier and set up Netflix. He got out the shower and yes I had to control myself before I jumped on him again. It’s been 3 weeks since I felt my best friend. I call his penis my best friend. Don’t judge me.

We began watching our show, idk why I thought we’d make it through the entire episode.

Keith rubbed my ass then gave it a good squeeze. “Damn baby you getting thick, I’m liking this” he whispered in my ear.

“I remember when we first started dating, you had no booty haha. Now look at you. I did that baby?” He asked

“Keith, oh my gosh. Yes baby you did that. And so did squats.” I answered.

He smacked my ass, “we’ll keep doing them squats….”

We attempted to watch the episode of Shameless again. About 10 minutes later, I’m sure Keith just said fuck it. He started squeezing and rubbing on my ass and thighs harder. It was time. He was ready and I BEEN ready. I don’t know why I got all nervous when he first got here.

Keith began kissing my neck. I turned around and kissed him softly. I sucked on his bottom lip and then forced my tongue in his mouth. We kissed like we’d never be able to kiss again. He rolled me on top of him as we continued to kiss. I kissed him down to his neck where I sucked and placed small bites. I stopped to take his shirt off and then he took off mine. After that I only had on my panties. He had on his shorts and boxer briefs. I went back and began to softly kiss him from his neck all the way down to his lower stomach. I started to tease him. I pulled down his shorts and boxers and started licked and kissing everything but his dick. I had him in the palm of my hands. He was so ready for this head.

I went back up kissed him once more then returned to his member. I placed a kiss on the tip, licked up his shaft, the put him in my mouth. At first I started slow, then I sped up as I began to deep throat. I was going crazy on him. He was trying his hardest not to yell out, I felt it. Keith isn’t a moaner.

I stopped sucking his dick and began to mount myself on top of him. He rose up and kissed me first. I pulled off my panties, grabbed his dick and put him at my opening. I teased his dick at my opening before sliding down it.

“Uhhhhhhh, oh my god baby” I moaned

“Shit, fuck you so wet” Keith moaned out.

I was slowly grinding as I leaned foreward to tell him how much I missed him.

“I missed you too baby too much. Ride that dick baby, fuck” he said

I bounced and twerked like my life depended on it. He loved when I got on top. I swear I cannot twerk at all. I can only do that shit on his dick. It’s crazy. We switched positions. Face down, ass up. He was smacking the hell out of my ass. I had to play it off like it didn’t hurt. It was good hurt, I guess. He started giving me short fast strokes then he would slow down and give me long slow strokes and it was driving me crazy. I was moaning so loud, I know for a fact my neighbors heard me. He was fucking me so good. I laid flat down as he continued to fuck me from behind. He laid on top of me as his dick continued to thrust in and out of me. All you heard was my screams, our skin slapping, and my wetness.

“Shit Keith, right there. Yes baby. UUUUHHHHHHHH, YESS!”

He was giving me long strokes, fast. Touching my spot. I was about to cum. His dick was going in and out and every time it made me get louder. I started grinding back on him. He sat up on his knees, grabbed my hips and continued to thrust in and out of me.

“KEITH YES FUCKKK. I’m about to cum, don’t stop.” I cried out

“Cum for me baby. Cum all over this dick”

“Ssssssssss, fuck. Ohhhh uhhhhhh baby right there. I’m about to oh my god. IM ABOUT TO– AHHHHHH KEEEITTHH IM CUMMING”

He then began fucked me harder. I thought I was about to explode. He wasn’t letting up. His dick felt so amazing. I was getting wetter and wetter as we came close to climax.

Keith went balls deep as he grinded into my now throbbing center. I was loving it. I was grinding back. I was trying hard not to cum. I just wanted to ride this feeling out forever. I started throwing my ass back.

“Shit, girl!”

I got about 6 more backshots in before we both came. I was stuck. He was stuck. We just wanted to lay there and go to sleep. I had to tell Keith to get up and get a towel before he really fell asleep.

After we cleaned ourselves up, we cuddled until we fell asleep. I was in my favorite place. His arms. It literally felt like forever since I’ve been held by him.

“I love you babe” I said to him

“I love you too” he said groggily

Valentine’s Day

This fanfic was created by @sumide1711uu for @normalblockconfessions

Rubberdoop

Passion

Ross slammed his hands down on Barry’s desk, startling the younger man. “Barry. Are you ready for the night of your life?”

Barry looked up from his screens, eyeing Ross carefully. He had his usual smile with something mischievous glinting in his eye. When Ross said things like and Barry agreed to them, Barry never got hurt or anything like that. Embarrassed or drunk off his ass didn’t count, but something still didn’t quite feel right. “Am I going to die of embarrassment if I agree?”

Tilting his head left and right, Ross chewed on his bottom lip, trying to come up with an answer that would appease Barry. “Define embarrassment,” he said after a few more than necessary moments of silence.

Barry groaned, going back to his current project. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. Also, I’m kinda busy with a project. I have to get it done by next Friday and I’m only half done. So if you don’t mind.” Slipping his headphones back on, the younger man clicked through a few different filters.

Ross nudged the headphones off, speaking over the quiet hum of music flowing out of them, “C’mon, man. You need to take a break and today is the best time. You can save your shit and be back tomorrow, if you want. But please say yes. I don’t want to go by myself.”

Turning off the music, Barry turned his chair to face the Australian. “You have my attention. What did you mean ‘go by myself’? Go where?” Barry sighed, leaning back in the chair, “Is it a strip club again? Because I’m not going to another strip club with you ever again in my entire lifetime.”

Ross waved him off, “I swear it’s not another strip club. It’s… it’s…” Sighing, Ross continued in a softer voice, “It’s a poetry slam night at a local coffee shop.”

Barry hummed something that wasn’t an outright disagreement. How could he immediately say no when Ross, confident, shameless Ross, curled in on himself, rubbing his arm? Ross peeked up when Barry began speaking, “Maybe. How long until we leave? ‘Cause project.”

Without a confident no, Ross lit up. “So you’re coming?” Barry gave a shrug followed by a nod. “Awesome! So it’s like 3 right now? It starts at 8 and I kinda wanna get there early if that’s okay. I mean, I don’t have Steam Train or anything like that, so I’m ready when you are.”

Barry snorted a laugh, “Sounds good, buddy. Give me like a 15 minute warning and I’ll be good.”

Ross nodded, slipping back to his desk. While he didn’t expect Barry to turn him down, they had been talking all week about hanging out this weekend, Ross was still grateful for the yes. It wasn’t the first time he had attended one of the poetry nights, but standing in front of strangers and pouring his heart out was something he’d rather do with a friend, a familiar face, in the crowd.

Ross’ hands itched the entire 4 hours he sat there waiting for time to pass. First they grabbed his pen and tablet, sketching out a new scene for Gameoverse, but eventually the project was quietly abandoned for a more tradition route. Ross drew a few characters he could use for the animation, but he grew tired of that as well. Then his hands dug around in his bag for his poetry book. Finding purchase, Ross pulled it out and began writing more and more words until everything was pouring out of him. The lines started slow, jagged, unfinished, but soon the words danced on the page, mingling with one another blissfully.

While he would never stop such a creative flow except for his bodily needs, Ross paused long enough to check the time and look over to Barry. The editor was chatting away with Ryan about something Ross couldn’t quite hear. There was still 10 minutes to go before Ross would decide it was close enough to get up and pull Barry out of his project. But that was the future and right now Ross was back to staring the pages in front of him. Looking over the poems he managed to bang out, he found one that he decided to read instead of the one Holly had helped Ross pick out. He scribbled down a title along the entire length of it. It was rather short, but something about it was different than the rest of the words littering the book.

Shoving the book back into his bag, Ross stretched before wandering around the office. He had been sitting at his desk the entire time and he was more than grateful for the blood moving in his legs. After the walk and a snack, Ross leaned his hip against Barry’s desk. Barry’s eyes flicked up to Ross, nudging one of the headphones off his ear and waiting for something. Ross crossed his arms to look a bit more confident than he felt, “You about ready to go?”

Barry nodded, “Uh, yeah. Give me like 10 minutes and we’ll go, okay?” Pulling the headphone back over his ear, he turned back to the screens, assuming Ross would give him some space, but no. The Australian hovered over him, watching every click that happened. “Do you need something?”

“No. I just love watching you edit and shit. I mean, I’ve tried my hand at stuff like this for animation, but still, it’s so cool what you’re doing.”

Barry blushed, hunching his shoulders, “Thanks, dude. That means a lot coming from you. You’re such a great friend.”

Nodding, Ross slowly said, “Maybe you can help me out tonight.”

Barry bit back a sigh as he saved the project once more, closing it and taking the headphones off his head. “I swear if this about a strip club or anything like that, then the answer is no.”

Ross waved him off, sinking into himself, “Oh, no. Nothing like that. I want you to read something and tell me your honest wholehearted opinion of it. Because I just wrote it and Holly read the other one, but now that’s not happening because of this one and I need someone to look over it to make sure it sounds okay.”

Barry felt the gears in his head turn. “Oh. You’re reading something tonight? That’s really cool. I didn’t know you wrote! I’d love to read your stuff, if you want. I know it can be really personal and shit and I don’t want to invade your privacy or anything like that.”

“Yeah, I guess it is pretty personal, but I trust you.” After Barry gave a soft smile, Ross walked back to his desk, grabbing his bag. He dropped it on the edge of Barry’s desk before reaching around for the familiar soft leather cover. Ross paused for a second, hands curled around the book. “Um… I don’t know about this anymore.”

Barry patted him on his arm, “You don’t have to show me. I mean, it’s not like it matters a ton to me. Er… Well, what I meant was…”

Ross nodded, pulling the book out. He showed Barry a weak smile, “It’s okay. I know what you mean. I’m just nervous. I only ever really show Hol my stuff. So this is kinda like a big step for me. Not just with you, but the poetry night too.”

After Ross fiddled with the pages for half a minute, Barry stared down at Ross’s handwriting. Poems overlapped with each other, making them impossible to read. Barry looked back at Ross, who was waiting with bated breath. “Uh, dude, I can’t fucking read any of this.”

“What? My handwriting isn’t that bad. Is it?” Ross peered over to look at the literal word vomit he called poems. “Oh, um, this one.” Ross traced a small box around the one he intended to read later.

Barry scanned the words, noting the simple title written along the side. He could envision Ross speaking these words in a dimly lit café in the basement of some music shop or something, see how he would emphasize the words and hear just a touch of his accent come through at the end. After reading it a few more times, Barry wordlessly passed the closed book back to Ross.

“So, do you think it’s okay?”

Barry placed his hands on either side of Ross’s face, which was a bit awkward for both of them since Barry was still seated. “Dude, that was amazing. I can see why you call it Passion.”

“You really think so? Like I could read this and people wouldn’t hiss at me?”

As Barry was about to go on and on about how emotional the piece felt, he backtracked just a touch. “Wait. People hiss at you if it’s bad?”

“Yeah. Snapping is good, hissing is bad. I swear the place is stuck in the 90’s or something.” Ross breathed out a laugh that sounded closer to a wheeze. “Okay. Is it good? If so, can we go?”

Barry turned to his computer one last time, turning the machine off. “Yeah, we’re good.” After Barry grabbed his things, they said goodbye to everyone that was hanging in the main space and left. A few wrong directions from Ross and bad timing on Barry’s part, the pair finally arrived at a normal coffee shop. Barry took one look and said, “I thought it would be sketchier.”

Ross fumbled with his bag, retrieving his poetry book, before snorting. “Now you think it’s stuck in the 90’s too. C’mon. Let’s get inside. The event, I guess, is on the second floor.”

Barry followed Ross through the small crowd of people yearning for an evening fix and up some tucked away, rickety stairs that should have been replaced. Ross sat at the edge of the semi-circle wrapped around a makeshift stage. Taking the spot next to him, Barry noted the whiteness of the older man’s knuckles. “Are you okay, man? I mean, if you’re worried-”

“I’m fine,” Ross hissed out as someone took stage.

“Hello friends of the arts!” The word forced a snort out of Barry and Ross shot him a glare. “Tonight is our open-mic poetry night. To flesh out the evening, we have a few people already lined up.” The speaker listed several names with Ross smack dab in the middle.

The speaker passed the mic to the first person on the list and they went through several poems, or a really long one, Barry couldn’t tell. After a few moments of silences, people began snapping and Barry snapped right along. This went on through three more people before Ross shifted in his seat. Barry placed a hand on the Australian’s arm, “You got this, Ross.”

Ross flashed Barry a shaky smile before standing and making his way over to the center. He took the mic before fumbling to find the right page. His stomach twisting into knots, Ross lost any shred of confidence he had. He scanned the crowd of 30 or 40 people, pausing at Barry, who gave him a thumbs-up and a smile. Ross smiled back, turning back to his book. “Um, I call this one Passion.

“It comes Slowly at first It always does

Soon fast Then faster And faster And faster still

Until it all fades Nothing Numb Alone

Bursting Ideas flow Wave after wave Then a hushed whisper

‘You’re okay.’”

Ross closed the book, looking up at the crowd. No one moved for several seconds before the sounds of fingers snapping filled his ears. Giving the audience a quick bow, he passed the mic to the next person and made his way back to Barry.

Barry clapped him on the back, “That was way better than I thought. I mean, holy fuck. You should read more. Like I would come every night to hear more.”

Ross gave a half-hearted smile, “You really mean that?”

“Of course, man. You’re fucking amazing.”

Before Their Time: Action

What’s the collective noun for a clawing herd of shameless assholes who will do anything to make a buck? That’s a trick question, of course, because the answer depends on where you ask: In the Northeast, it’s Wall Street. In the Mid-Atlantic, it’s DC. And in Southern California, it’s Hollywood.

Whatever you call them, shameless people – however hateful, venal, and shallow – are pretty funny. The Wolf of Wall Street was rich with comic moments, Veep continues to vacuum up Emmys, and reality TV is still a thing. Clearly there’s something to be said for the entertainment value of moral bankruptcy (as long as it doesn’t cost spectators anything). So today, Before Their Time will be revisiting a show that figured this out just a little too early, a one-season wonder that flowered into malevolent bloom before withering on its own poisonous vine. Today, you’re going to get some Action.

Action was a sitcom about the business of making movies. Jay Mohr starred as producer Peter Dragon, founder and resident raging asshole of Dragonfire Films. Dragonfire specializes in action flicks – light on plot, heavy on artillery. The formula is reliable until the day it isn’t: when Peter’s newest film (Slow Torture) flops, studio executives stop returning his calls and – worse – a fashionable restaurant starts refusing to seat him. Flailing to recoup his status and his company’s funds, Peter buys a screenplay whose author turns out to be not the hoped-for Alan Rifkin but the less-experienced, similarly-named Adam Rafkin (Jarrad Paul) and finds himself stuck with the rights to something called Beverly Hills Gun Club. If he ever wants to be taken seriously again, Peter must round up investors, a cast, and a director to film a movie whose climactic battle takes out hundreds of zoo animals (and, one presumes, the bad guys, unless the bad guys in question ARE the zoo animals).

youtube

WE ARE THE DANGER

Neither the script’s content nor Dragonfire’s previous box office flop can tempt anyone reputable (or sensible) to touch the project, and Peter embarks on a series of deals with devils he doesn’t know. This goes about as well as you would imagine: The director – their last choice – won’t stop talking about his enemas, the lead actor has a drug problem, the lead actress wants the crew to look away while filming her, and one of the investors tries to purchase Peter’s 10-year-old daughter. But Peter never says die. This tenacity is the closest thing he has to a redeemable quality, and it makes his otherwise antiheroic lurches from one catastrophe to the next consistently entertaining.

Peter is supported in this quixotic endeavor by his deadpan Uncle Lonnie (Buddy Hackett), who works as his driver and head of security, Stuart Glazer (Jack Plotnick), Dragonfire’s long-suffering President of Production, and Wendy Ward (Illeana Douglas), Dragonfire’s newly-installed Vice President of Production. Wendy provides most of the show’s human touch, such as it is; her previous career as a sex worker equipped her to deal with Hollywood’s monsters without turning her into one. This also means nothing surprises her, and unflappability is a valuable skill in a business that is more sordid (and hilarious) than even the most cynical detractor of the entertainment industry could imagine. I do mean that literally. The show’s creators cribbed many gags from their own experiences with A-listers (who, disappointingly, remain anonymized). Although these gags are funny on their own merits, knowing that, say, an argument about codpiece size actually happened on a real movie set does add a note of schadenfreude-y frisson to the proceedings.

Verisimilitude aside, Action was never going to last very long. The show’s writers and producers clashed with network censors (Fox, who else?) on everything from swearing to fellatio, and reviewers dismissed the series as mean-spirited. Its most profane moments seem quaint now, but in 1999 they challenged a network TV ethos still skittish about so much as alluding to adult themes. If you’re too young to remember TV in the 90s, let’s just say pearls were still being clutched over one half of Will & Grace’s titular duo being an out gay man.

Ultimately, I think Action’s creators miscalculated their audience’s tolerance not for profanity but for inside baseball. The show struggled to find viewers; network audiences either weren’t ready to see how big-budget sausage gets made or they just didn’t care to watch. In a few more years, viewers would develop an appetite for the risqué and the profane: Action would be right at home alongside the pole-dancing on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and the streams of profanity on Hell’s Kitchen. If nothing else, it performed the brief but necessary function of a flash-in-the-pan envelope pusher, nudging open windows through which later shows could slip edgier gags. Although it wasn’t quite as funny or brutal, Action prefigured the barbed behind-the-scenes honesty that made Arrested Development and Veep such hits. Sure, it got folks hot and bothered before leaving them unsatisfied, but that’s what happens when your Action comes too soon.

HOW TO WATCH: The complete show is available on DVD and iTunes or streaming on Amazon and Hulu.

MUST WATCH: If you watch only one episode, the series finale, “The Last Ride of the Elephant Princess,” sums up everything that is wrong with big-budget productions.

FAVORITE LINES: “This is where the magic happens!”

“You’re pitching me OJ Simpson?!?” “Every kid knows his name!” “Yeah, every kid knows to stay away from him!”

“You’re threatening me? That’s a laugh...I’m 79 years old. I’ve got one kidney, one ball and one lung. I take Viagra just to keep from peeing on my shoes, and you’re threatening me? Who are you frightening?”

PAIR WITH: Lots of hard alcohol, and possibly coke.

WATCH FOR: In spite of its brevity, Action scored cameos from a number of 90s celebrities, most of whom appeared as themselves. Notable appearances include Keanu Reeves, Salma Hayek, Sandra Bullock, Scott Wolf, Tony Hawk, and David Hasselhoff(!).

AFTERWARDS: If Veep is more verisimilitude than you can handle right now, re-watch Arrested Development.

Last night I listened to BBC Radio Scotland’s nightly Sports Sound show.

It was live from an RC school in Hamilton.

That would explain why Barry Ferguson sounded so nervous and Chick Young so combative.

They debated the usual pressing issues in Scottish football.

The main one of course is Celtic’s terrible domination of the national game. Not surprisingly most people in attendance were Celtic fans. A blue nose braved the ‘Papish’ surroundings to direct a question from the floor. Well it wasn’t really a question. Just a somewhat incoherent ramble about how Celtic’s dominance isn’t healthy and they are suffering for it when they get ‘ embarrassed’ in Europe. In fairness to Chick he took the questioner to task on this.

Not on the lack of competition but on the European aspect.

Yes we got humbled in the Nou Camp, which doesn’t look so bad when you see PSG’s hundreds of millions of pounds worth of talent collapsing 6-1 at the same venue on Wednesday night, but outside of that and the initial blip against the mighty Lincoln Red Imps, the campaign was pretty decent.

Still the point about Celtic somehow shaming Scottish football by being too good for everyone else is a puzzling one.

I mean for a start it’s not exactly Celtic’s fault that they are miles ahead of the rest. Celtic set out to do the best they can every season. No aspect of the plan involves sabotaging other teams. Indeed many of the teams have proven more than adept at doing that themselves in recent years.

Also any complaints from Govan are utterly banal.

Where was this desire for the good of our game when they were outspending all in sundry using funds they could ill afford to secure 9 in a row, 12 out of 14 league championships and 17 domestic trophies in the 90’s alone?

Back then Rangers lorded it over everyone. Especially Celtic.

They were as keen to rub it into everyone else’s faces and to drive other clubs such as Airdrie out of existence.

The irony of anyone who now worships at the carcass of that club complaining about Celtic’s current domination is breathtaking.

For a start Celtic’s is legitimately funded. No EBT’s, side letters, Moonbeams or inheritances required. It’s also been done without going out and breaking the bank to sign the likes of Laudrup, Gascoigne or a plethora of Dutch internationals. Sinclair, Dembele and Gamboa cost less than £6 million all in last summer. Is it much more than the rest of Scottish football? Yes. But is it excessive considering Celtic’s income and stature? No.

The denizens of Ibrox playing the victim card is quite frankly ludicrous.

Their predicament is to our benefit but is also of their own making. A new manager who some say previously worked as a scout for Celtic and who’s management CV could be written on the back of a matchbox will be unveiled in the coming days. We’ll be told he’s their first choice. We’ll never know, but no doubt after Ross Wilson’s knock-back who ever ends up as director of football will have been first choice too. And the beat goes on.

When the next circus starts up by a club trying to achieve champagne goals on a lemonade budget we’ll get more grumbles of how it isn’t fair.

What exactly they propose be done about it isn’t clear.

Perhaps Celtic starting off 25 point behind everyone else and being forced to donate half of the club’s yearly income into their coffers would suit them.

That’s literally what it would take to level up the playing field.

Anyway, the SportSound panel agreed Celtic’s dominance was bad for Scottish football.

Chick Young said how far ahead Celtic were ‘was embarrassing’ and would be scoffed at by outsiders ie: foreign leagues. As usual actual facts were not presented by a member of the associated press but by a fan from the floor. He pointed out that Bayern Munich were going for 5 in a row, Juventus were locks for 6 consecutive Serie A league titles, PSG are in the hunt for their 5th on the bounce, Olympiacos had won 18 from 20 league championships in their native Greece and FC Bael are shooting for 8 in a row this term.

That totally undermined Chick’s whole argument so he fired back that it was the extent of the points gap he was referring to.

Nobody got the chance to point out to him that PSG won their league by 31 points last season.

That’s the thing about these banal theories when it comes to Scottish football and Celtic’s dominance. They are always completely undermined by rational thought and actual evidence and facts. These things are of little consequence to most sports journalists in Scotland though.

Wagging the dog is far more important.

As for SportSound I actually enjoy listening to the previous evenings podcast when I’m completing some mundane afternoon task. Barry Ferguson is always on stoically trying to remain defiant in the face of inevitable failure at Clyde. Alas he finally relented last week. His older brother Derek is always entertainingly enthusiastic about everything. Graham Speirs is generally in his element undermining the clueless Keith Jackson. Richard Wilson’s shameless nightly defences of Dave King and his board is always good for a laugh.

The Ross Wilson rejection is of no great significance apparently.

Indeed if anything according to Wilson it’s the sign of a thorough recruitment process apparently.

Tom English is good at picking up on cliches and questioning their relevance in reality. This is particularly effective when it comes to tripping up Kris Boyd who always sounds one argument away from losing the plot and swearing at someone , usually English, live on air.

Then there’s my favourite, Jamie Fullarton.

Fullarton readily admits he couldn’t deal with the pressure of management as he lasted less than 15 minutes down at that hotbed of footballing excellence that is Notts County. Yet he’s quick to sabotage the credentials of any other young manager trying to make it in the game. You have to laugh at how unabashedly arrogant that is. Akin to the spotty fat kid with glasses who eats alone at lunchtime in school giving you advice on how to pull girls.

Judging by his own dulcet tones and attention to detail when analysing games one can only imagine what the personality clash was between him and Ian Cathro when they were gaining their badges together at Largs. I can only presume Cathro wouldn’t let Fullarton onto the communal PC in the evenings to play World of Warcraft or the like when it was his turn.

The prehistoric footballing insights into the game by serial coaching loser and tactical dinosaur Billy Brown are also fun when he occasionally is asked on.

According to Brown no manager he knows should ever have been sacked, ever.

Anyway back to matters at hand and on Sunday we will attempt to clobber our Govan neighbours for the umpteenth time this season. Another few wins and we might get to keep them. The pitch may prove a leveller as might the officials turning a blind eye to Sevco’s “in plain sight” common assaults … how they must regret that Garner isn’t playing.

But if Celtic produce even half of what they’re capable of it should be a comfortable day.

In the meantime I’ll leave you with a quote that Sunday’s travelling support should be reminded of the next time they have the temerity to complain about their host’s footballing dominance as well as any financial gulfs. It was in relation to David Murray applying for an interdict, on behalf of his company Carnegie, for a debt of around £30,000 owed by Airdrie in 2000, which effectively tipped them over in liquidation :

“I feel very sorry for Airdrie and their supporters but we’re running a business. We have given them repeated warnings and felt they were playing on our good nature.”

That’s right Dave threw Airdrie under a bus for 30 grand.

A few months later he convinced the Bank of Scotland to lend him £12 million to buy the worst striker in the English Premier League at that time – Tore André Flo.

Just let that sink in.

Oh the irony.

Paul Cassidy is a Celtic fan and blogger who is getting sick and tired of the voices in the media trying to shout down our achievements.
