I love you all immensely. Take care. 💖

You sit in the mud, mortified. You want desperately to leave but you don’t have the strength to do so. Your flight might be seen for exactly what it is; cowardice. You don’t have much but you have a sliver of dignity to you.

So you pretend. Just like those years you went to school and pretended everything was okay. That your father wasn’t awful and your house wasn’t dingy and smoky. All this time you’ve put your head down and obeyed Mr. Laufeyson as if you had no other purpose. You can do it.

You mimic Sif and stay reclined. You close your eyes and try to enjoy the soft harp music plucking from speakers. You should’ve gone with Frigga. A bit of sweat is better than stewing in dirt and shame.

Your mind races. How long is normal? When can you leave without giving away that doubt gnawing in your stomach? Why would you want to leave? So you can go back and face Mr. Laufeyson? What will you tell him? Do you tell him?

“Thank you, babe, marvelous,” Hela’s silky voice interrupts the din. You open your eyes and look over as her lithe figure slinks in like a cat, “where is she? Ah there you–”

Hela stops short as her eyes flick from you to Sif. The other woman remains silent, eyes closed as she is unbothered by the disturbance.

Hela sets down the glass on the ledge of the tub next to hers and swipes off her robe, handing it over to the attendant behind her. Her skin is rosy and damp already.

“Sif Sigmund,” Hela declares as she lowers herself into the mud bath, “what a coincidence.”

“Is it?” Sif opens a single eye, “what with Walpurgisnacht coming so quickly, you must be hard at work.”

“I didn’t know you were back in town.”

“Nor I you,” Sif rebuffs, “I always thought you loathed it here.”

“Passing through,” Hela dismissed, “family.”

“And the help?” Sif suggests as she opens her other eye and looks at you.

Hela snickers, “the help?” She echoes, “some of us can be friends with other women, honey.”

“Friends?” Sif squints, “I never knew that to be a line with you.”

“Don’t be jealous, it looks awful on you,” Hela retorts.

“Jealous? You Odinsons always thought so highly of yourselves.”

“So highly you wanted to be one of us,” Hela snipes and lifts her glass, “babe, this is a spa, I’ve come here to relax, not argue with homewreckers.”

Sif’s lips press tightly. You gulp and peer between the women, confused. There’s animosity there which both reassures you and worries you. Despite Frigga’s praises, it doesn’t seem the gorgeous black-haired beauty left on the best foot. Or rather, this a show of how the Odinsons can be vengeful to those who do not fit into their pretty little picture.

Your eyes meet Sif and her thick brows slant. She scoffs and shakes her head.

“Not much of a home to wreck,” she mutters before she takes a sip.

You look away and resist the urge to drown yourself in the mud. Will she be attending Walpurgisnacht? Should you warn Laufeyson? Your chest racks at the thought. You don’t think he would take it as caution, he might even be upset at the mention of her.

Better to just keep your mouth shut and do as you’re told.

✨

You return to the Odinson abode less than refreshed. As Frigga and Hela glow, you feel a dark cloud around you. You keep thinking about that woman; Sif. Just the thought of her name makes you shrivel up. So tall and sleek and elegant. You don’t know why you care so much, you and Laufeyson have an arrangement, not a relationship.

As you pass through the front door, Frigga proclaims that she’ll have some iced tea and snacks put out on the veranda for the evening. You nod and wave your bag wordlessly, you’ll hang your dress upstairs and return.

You scurry up the staircase and slip through the double doors of the bedroom. You linger at the threshold, looking around. Something seems amiss. Something’s… different but you can’t place it.

You go to the wardrobe and hang the dress within, but itself. Your hand flutters over the sewn on silk flowers. It’s so pretty, you don’t know if you should even wear it. You’ll look like a child playing dressup. Maybe you should ask Laufeyson if you should even attend; you could stay in the kitchen and help like you did with Corissa.

You close the wardrobe and flit back out. Before you can reach the stairs, you hear a familiar thunderous timbre. You stop at the rolling voice.

“Father, I have been on my best behaviour. I don’t see why I shouldn’t have my reward…”

Your eyes round and you quickly press on. You shouldn’t be listening. That’s none of your business. Besides, the last thing you need is to run into Thor again. Especially alone.

Downstairs, you find the house desolate. You go into the kitchen and see the elder maid at the counter, stirring ice into a deep blue mixture. Gertrude, you remember. You give a measly hello and rush through to the veranda doors.

Hela is already sat, her head tilted up to the sun as her eyes are hidden beneath her big blocky sunglasses. She doesn’t flinch as you claim a seat of your own, nearly curling up in a ball atop it. He fans herself with her long fingers.

She sighs as Gertrude emerges to serve the iced tea, declaring it wild blueberry before retreating. You fidget but don’t move to pour a glass. You’re thirsty but too distracted to worry about your chalky tongue.

“Did you have a productive conversation with Sif?” Hela frightens you as she sits straight.

“Um, I didn’t say much,” you shrug.

“I wouldn’t think, but did she?”

You shake your head. She didn’t say much of anything. You suspect you aren’t worth her breath.

“Hm, nothing about my brother… brothers?”

“Well… she introduced herself and told me to send her regards to Mr. Laufeyson–”

“Oh, babe, don’t do that. Surely don’t,” she warns. “Ugh, what a pot stirrer she is.”

You frown. Of course you wouldn’t have carried that message. You couldn’t bring yourself to even say her name to Mr. Laufeyson. You’ve seen how his eyes darken when he hears it.

“Look, babe,” Hela plants an elbow on the armrest of her chair, “we should clear the air.”

You tweak your head to the side. What does she mean?

“I know I got carried away when we first met. We both did. I sense there is some tension left between us but we must move past it, yes? It was a bit of fun, nothing more. I can’t have you getting confused,” she flutters her fingers, “I see a pretty thing and I want to play with it but I’ll spare you the pain, you’ve enough bother with my brother. I have a rather short attention span.”

You blink, “oh…kay.”

“So we’re agreed, as fun as this would be, it’s simple to messy,” she smirks, “not that I mind a mess.”

You nod and reach for the pitcher to distract yourself. That day flashes in your mind; the clothes, the mimosas, her lips… you almost forgot it all in the whirlwind of the last few days. You think she may have too until that very moment.

“Darlings,” Frigga emerges in deep pink cotton, “oh, look at this, delicious.”

She sits and uses the tiny golden tongs to serve herself a plate of artisanal crackers then uses the knife to scrape on some of the soft cheese. You watch her, your stomach growling even as it turns. You’re too anxious to eat.

This whole thing is ripe to be a disaster. No, you will be the disaster.

✨

You excuse yourself from the table. You need to lay down. You’ll retreat and hide until Mr. Laufeyson comes to find you. That’s all you can do.

You’re cautious as you climb the stairs, almost wishing you’d ask for an escort. You listen for the same boisterous echo as before. It’s quiet. You let out a breath; no Thor.

You let yourself through the double doors and close them firmly. You turn the lock and it schlocks into place. The house is so still and silent, it’s ominous. You blame your addled wits and the long day. You’re on edge after the chaos of it all and that to come.

You go to bed and sit. You hang your head and sigh. You rub your cheeks and slowly raise yourself up, looking around as you once more feel something is off. Your luggage… you left it against the wall, still unpacked, and now, it’s not there.

You stand and peer around, spinning. Where would it have gone? Did Gertrude or Frida, the maids take it? You go back to the wardrobe, it’s still empty. As you turn and near the dresser, a click makes you wince. You look at the doors, they remain locked and sealed.

The clearing of a throat draws you around to face the bathroom door. You hadn’t noticed before that it was closed. Now it’s open but still filled. Mr. Laufeyson surprises you as he wears only a robe and smirks at you. Has he been waiting?

“Mr. Laufeyson,” you titter as you mash your palms together. “I didn’t know you…”

He puts a finger to his lips to hush you, a coy smirk twisting his lips. He turns his hand and curls his fingertip, beckoning you across the room. Shakily, you pull your hands apart and march over to him. He backs up, opening the wide door with him to reveal the sparkling bathroom. You enter hesitantly, unsure, eyes scanning frantically.

You stand in the doorway as he backs up. Your eyes bounce around the space desperately and finally stop as you find your laptop, the laptop he provided you, open on the counter. You shift uncomfortably, a tide of confusion welling over.

“Mr. Laufeyson, what’s…”

He hushes you again, this time with a hiss. You snap your mouth shut and swallow your voice. You look at him, not in the face, but at his throat and how it constricts.

“Pet, you are such a diligent worker. I admire that about you,” he begins, his voice like the distant threat of a storm, “truly, you’d not be here if I didn’t. You’ve ever been so thorough.”

There’s a mocking lilt in his words. Your shoulders slump and you wilt, waiting for the truth. Waiting for the insults you know must dance on his tongue to escape.

“But I didn’t expect you to be so…exhaustive in your research,” he goes to the laptop and taps the space bar to wake up the screen. You frown as he waves you closer.

As you step up, your heart clenches at the first noise. A man’s growl. You don’t understand until you see the screen clearly. You’d watched the video on mute but you know it by sight. That shower one he’d nearly caught you with before. You didn’t even think to erase your history.

“Pet,” he angles to you and touches your cheek. You flinch and hug yourself, “you are a naughty little minx, aren’t you?”

“Mr. Laufeyson,” your voice is hollow and quiet, “I didn’t… I was curious…”

“If you are so curious,” he lets his hand trail down our neck and along your shoulder, “well, you could always ask me.”

He grips your upper arm and pulls it from across your chest. He makes you face him as your heart batters your ribc age. You’re lightheaded as the colours of the screen move in your peripheral and the low volume tickles in your eardrums. You sway as Mr. Laufeyson holds onto your arms.

“Pet,” he drags his hands up and down your arms, “you needn’t be so shy. Didn’t we have a wonderful night?”

You bat your lashes and nod. It was nice but… you’re still not her. You’ll never be her. You’re just a thing to him. Like Hela said, ‘a pretty thing’ or ‘creature’, as Thor taunted, a ‘maid’.

“Well, pet, I’ve reviewed your research,” his hands move to the front of your blouse and he tugs on the fabric, “and come to my own conclusions.”

He yanks as you stand paralysed. You only raise your arms as you sense his frustration. You stare straight ahead, barely processing what’s happening as he undresses you. Your skirt falls down your legs as he traces its path with his touch. He rolls down your stocking and circles around you to unhook your bra.

He pauses as he dips his thumbs under the fabric of your panties and bow to growl along your crown. He rips them down and lets them drop to your feet. He wraps you up in his arms, groping your chest as he rocks you. You feel his arousal, his need. You wouldn’t think of it as desire; he doesn’t truly want you, he wants what he can do to you.

“Pet, why don’t you run us a shower,” he slithers against your ear.

“Yes, Mr. Laufeyson,” you eagerly escape his embrace as he lets you go.

You focus on the easy task. You go to the shower and slide back the glass door. You crank on the faucet, testing the water with your fingers until you have the right temperature. You are deliberate in each step, ignoring his movement behind you.

You squeak as he’s right against you again, his robe gone. He urges you into the show and slides the door shut in his stead. He holds you flush to him, an arm hooked around your middle as his other finds your chin. He turns your head as he leans his own around to meet your lips. His hard dick presses into your back as he groans into you.

His tongue delves deep into your mouth, his kiss sloppy and greedy. You let him do whatever he pleases, doing your best to play along. Your skin speckles with more than the heat of the shower as it reminds you of that video.

What did he think when he discovered that? Why had he been nosing through your things anyhow? Well, they aren’t truly yours, they belong to him, just like you do. Just another possession among his collection.

His hands rove up and down your body, exploring it as the showerhead slakes you in hot water, furling your bodies in steaming. He feels along your stomach and down your pelvis. His fingers crawl down to your cunt and urges your feet apart with one of his. He rubs you until you gasp.

He pulls his mouth from yours as tiny wisps puff from your mouth. You shake at the buzzing thrum of his touch. You don’t want to feel but you feel everything. He’s stealing that from you. Using you any way he likes.

And you let him. That’s your job. That’s what you agreed to.

He shifts back, coolness filling the space between your bodies as his hand slips from your cunt. He grasps your thigh and lowers himself to his knees behind you. You let out a strangled noise as he grips your hips and leads you backwards.

“Put your hands on the wall, pet,” he demands.

Obedience. That’s your only skill. You take orders. You do what you’re told. You do what’s expected.

He trails his hand around the back of your leg as he bends you at an angle. He keeps his other hand firmly around your hip as he plays with you, swiping up and down your folds, poking and prodding and swirling. He stops along your entrance and you clench as he delves into you.

One finger he presses his thumb to your clit. He rocks his hand, quickly stirring your pleasure. Then another finger, the strain making you whimper. Your fingers curl against the tile and your thighs quake. He pushes into you, over and over, until you’re panting wildly.

As if he senses you teetering on the precipice, he pulls his fingers from you. You quiver as the emptiness tamps the rising swell. He edges you back further so you bend deeper, keeping your palms to the wall. His hand swerves back around the front of your leg and he glides between your folds once more.

Something tickles against your cunt from behind and suddenly a warmth mingles with your own heat. You squeal as you realises what he’s doing. He buries his face into you from behind, tilting your hips as he sloppily laps at you, replacing his fingers with his tongue. The coil in you twists back into place.

Oh god. It’s even better. You’ve never felt like this before. Hot and cold at the same time, shaky and willowy, unable to think as you’re swept away completely. You close your eyes, throwing your head back as you arch your spine, welcoming him.

He groans and growls as he drinks you up, pushing you closer and closer, fluttering his fingers against you between the flick of his tongue. Then, all once, he stops. You’re there, ready to take the plunge, ready to dive into the sheer pleasure coursing through you like a river, and he just stops?

“Say my name,” he nips your bottom, “say it when you cum.”

You gulp, “Loki..” you utter uncertainly.

His only assurance is him diving back into you. His tongue furiously flicks and swirls and laps and begs for more. You feel your slickness smearing across his lips, flowing onto his tongue, and that adds to the vibrant effect of his eager tending. You choke and gasp and let the rise overcome you.

“Lo… Lo…” you quake as your insides knot, “Lo…ki.” You puff and whine as it all erupts, “Loki!”

Your thighs tremble as he purrs through your orgasm. He delights in you pouring yourself into him, surrendering to him as you stand on your toes, leaning into the wall to keep yourself from collapsing. But he doesn’t stop. Not this time. Even as you're ready to scream and slap him away.

He keeps going. He keeps going even though you can’t bear it. He’ll keep going and you’ll let him. That’s the deal. Your body is his but your mind is your own. You’ll just do your best not to think too much.

Kombat Krew and Animal Crossing.

It should come as no surprise that I’ve been playing Animal Crossing a lot recently. I’ve got real life debt in terms of my student loans. And also, debt in the game too! What a life I have and what a world we live in. So, here’s a crossover that no one asked for. Kombat Krew reacting to it/ playing it with their S/O and what kind of villager they’d be! I didn’t do everyone, mainly the ones that I think would/could play the game! And This is such a pure post. Wow. No warnings what so ever. But just because of length of post I’ve popped a cut in, just because it’s a little long!

· Cassie Cage; She’s reluctant to play it at first. When you’re both chatting about it and hyping it up, she’s sipping her smoothie raising an eyebrow. But because she’s a supportive partner, she will watch all the trailers in the hype run. She has to admit it does look cute. She’ll buy you it and can’t help but keep peering up and watching as you run around your island, catching bugs and fish. Smiling at the occasional scream as you try and run from a tarantula. “So, you owe the Racoon money? Wait, why are you paying for more extensions on your house?!” Doesn’t understand till she finally bites the bullet and plays it when you’re not in… within an hour she’s bought it and is playing it. Then it’s on. You find her awake at 3 AM, she’s sat crossed legged on the sofa, playing it intently. Cute dates where you go out to a café and local play. Visiting each other’s islands, planting flowers and taking cute aesthetic photos. Her house is full of bright colours and random assortments of bits and pieces she found cute. Johnny takes the piss out of you both. The fact you’re both sat next to each other on the sofa, playing the same game, and speaking gibberish. Cassie is also slightly competitive; she doesn’t know where she gets it from Johnny and Sonya. So, it’s no wonder that she wins the tourneys, does all of the events and completes the nook mile challenges efficiently.

If she was a Villager: A squirrel. Kind of like Blaire. Normal personality.

· Smoke (Tomas Vrbada): If ever there was a game that fit Smokes aesthetic and general vibe it would be Animal Crossing. How he got introduced to the series was that he was reading peacefully. Until your squeal of excitement disrupted him. Honestly, at first, he thought some shit had happened. Queue him evaporating and appearing mid living room. Only to see you’re happy because there was a leaked trailer for a game. His mouth starts out agape, as if questioning, why you would make such a noise over a game. That expression changes when he watches it with you. He loves it so much… is actually excited for the prospect of living a quiet life on his own Island. Pre-orders with you so you both can play it. Smoke also definitely owns a grey switch. He. Loves. This. Game. Stays up late with you playing it the first days it’s released. His islands name will be something fantasy based. His character has great hair too. Loves planting flowers and tending your joint garden on his island. His house is so neat, and each room has a theme. Everything is in place and organised too. He loves also going to the museum with you and having a look at everything. He loves that there’s a museum. He’s pretty much the Lin Kuei Blathers at this point. And you guys can go on virtual dates to the museum and each other’s towns when he’s away on a mission. Loves playing it whilst you’re both snuggled up in bed together. When he finds out that the different hemispheres have different bugs and fish, he begs Bi-Han and Kuai to get it. Because he wants to flesh that museum out! “So, there’s this racoon that you have to pay your debt off too. But it’s addictive and it’s a great distraction…” “TOMAS IT’S 3AM GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP” – Bi-Han. If he was a villager: There’s a hipster bear in it. So yeah. He’s a hipster bear, he’s basically Beardo. If there were owl villagers, I’d have made him an owl! Smug personality on AC is more polite, gentleman like, so it’s actually not a bad personality.

· Kabal: He’s sure he should be doing work right now. But who gives a fuck when he needs to tend to his garden. Virtual chibi Kabal is living his best life right now. Not having to put up with Kano. His boots are on his desk whilst he plays. He honestly remembers playing the original on GameCube. A friend from school had it and he wanted it so badly, but his mom could never afford it. But now he’s an adult, he can literally buy whatever the fuck he wants. When he finds out you love the series too, he cannot help but smile. He tries to let on that he’s not obsessed, but he is. He preloads it and keeps checking to see if you can play it. Queue him staying up till midnight and waking you up to let you know it’s on. By the time you get up properly he’s filling out the museum, has paid off his first loan and is ready for more. He loves playing it with you, will be a bit of a dick at times, and will totally hit you with net or snipe the bug you’re trying to get. Only for him to gift you it. He’s strategically planned this hit. He’s chosen the Southern Hemisphere and has got oranges. He needs everything. It’s cute how obsessed he is with it. When he’s away, he loves playing it with you, visiting each other’s towns, leaving cute notes on the Notice Board and sending letters. Virtual you and him are so cute. “Hey Kabal, what you playin’?” “None of your fucking business.”

If he was a villager: Definitely an Alligator. Just going off the fact he has a tooth. I’m going with Jock personality. Just because he’s a hyper up and can be intense at times. So probably like Sly.

· Frost: She like Cassie pretends not to care about it. Who has time for games? She sure as hell doesn’t… even though it does look cute, and she does miss having a garden. She finds it therapeutic. Not that the temple has a garden because ahaha it’s fucking freezing and always snowing. Frost is literally acts like an ice sculpture, hard and frozen inside and out. In reality, she’s more like a snowman. Soft and squishy. She does have a soft spot for the game… especially when she watches you planting flowers and making a little garden. If you have a full switch and can create multiple characters, she may get a little emotional that you made her and made her a little garden. Okay. Maybe she’ll play it for a few minutes… *Four hours later* She’s giggling wildly as she catches bugs and plants and waters more flowers. At first, she’s content with just playing the character you made her… but then she finds out from Cassie you can play together. And that’s it. She wants to do cute couple shit on it. Buys the game and surprises you when she sits next to you and reluctantly asks what to call her Island. You’ll both lay next to each other playing it together. She’s hyper competitive as well, so she ends up doing all of the tourneys and winning. As well as helping you out if you’re struggling with a certain part. If she was a Villager: She’s definitely a cat villager. Probably like Katt, quirky looking and a bit mean looking. But on the inside really caring and sweet.

· Kuai Liang (Sub Zero): Why is he playing this again? You said you had a great distraction in mind for him. What he did not expect was for him to be sat on your sofa on a rainy day. Holding you switch and staring from it to the TV in mild confusement. He knew that a new game had come out and it had, in a word, consumed every fibre of your being for the past few days. He loved how happy it made you and would often smile fondly watching you play it… but he didn’t expect himself to be playing it. You made him, pretty accurately, on the game and he’s kind of impressed. You do have to walk him through it, because him and technology do not mix. He does get the hang of it and he has the patience of a saint and the accuracy of a pro angler when it comes to catching fish. You’re pretty damn impressed. He hates to admit how much he loves the game. And it’s kind of cute that you’re sort of playing it together. He may round the corner a few times when you’re playing to ask if you’re advancing the island, because he knows he can’t do it… and he would like to visit the museum and add to it. Secretly loves it. Not enough for him to actually play it himself, but he does find himself playing it in a morning before you wake up. Don’t tell Smoke or Bi-Han he won’t hear the end of it. ‘I don’t have time for pop culture’ BULLSHIT KUAI!

If he was a villager: A Penguin. fucking fight, me on this. He’d probably look like Roald but with a smug personality. Remember Smug is good in this game, I know mind fuck.

· Bi-Han: Okay so the colours hurt his head. They are so bright. Why is that eagle wearing a blazer? What the fuck is going on. If you thought Kuai was confused Bi-Han is next level confused… but he also wants a go. He really wants to play it. He likes to get involved with what you like, and if playing this Mutli-coloured game about living on an island makes you happy, then so be it! Will start off with a character on your save. Before progressing to him eventually getting it himself and ‘borrowing’ the hidden Switch that Smoke has. The one he hides at the bottom of his sock draw, next to his diary, to the left of embarrassing photos of him. You’ll find him playing in between meditation and training. He secretly loves it. He gets a system going and soon has overtaken you on it. Invites you around to show off his pad. Which is a mess, just like his actual room. But it’s got the Bi-Han charm. Totally moves his house to a ledge so no one can visit him. Will play it secretly, pretending to be busy but actually just vibing on a tree stump catching bugs. He loves visiting your island. He’ll change your flowers around, and plant fruit trees for you. He’ll also leave you small presents in your house. He gets into it, but he just likes been able to share a bit of your world. He didn’t have videogames growing up, so it’s nice to finally be exposed to a bit of pop culture.

If he was a villager: He’d be a bear with a jock personality. Would probably look something similar to either Curt or Groucho.

· Jacqui: She’s excited to play this. She remembers playing it when she was younger. Confused the fuck out of her dad. They had a real farm, but she wanted to virtually take care of her plants and trees. Confused him. But when she finds out you love the game too, she’s over the fucking moon. She’s got Cassie to play it with her, but the fact you, her darling S/O love it too makes her so happy! She’s had the same aesthetic and favourite villagers since she was a kid. But she loves all the villagers, she thinks there all quirky and cute in there own way! Her Island is also so organised. She also saved your butt a few times, catching the tarantulas as you ran around madly trying to avoid them. She event split the profit from her trip to tarantula island with you! I’ve always had the HC that Jacqui is artistic, so she makes cute custom designs that look 110% amazing. And has totally made you both matching outfits to wear and take cute photos with. She tried her hardest to make her house into your shared apartment, and to be fair, she did a really great job at it! You and her both lay on the sofa playing it together, laughing and chilling together over takeaway, with a comfy movie on in the background. She loves that you can share this interest and that you can still virtually be together when she’s far away. Will send you letters in game too when she’s away. With stuff she’s picked up and thinks you’ll like or will ok cute in her house. She owns all the shell stuff because it’s so pretty and costal looking. Her house is totally near the beach. She’s always secretly wanted to live near the coast. Jax can’t get his head around that your in her game, and she’s in yours.

If she was a villager: I’d say a wolf villager. Kind of like Audie who’s really peppy and happy go-lucky. Most of her intros are upbeat and can-do attitude like! So, I think it matches her personality really well!

Broken Trust~Part Three

Paring: Bang Chan x reader; Mark Tuan x reader(arranged marriage)

Genre: Mafia au, angst, little bit of everything honestly

Warnings: Curssing, mafia life and shizzle

MASTERLIST

“You guys ready?” Seulgi asked as everyone sat in the car. It was Seulgi, Irene, Momo, Joy, and you. Chaeyoung was supposed to go instead of Joy but Jihyo needed her and Tzuyu to do a special job. Anywho, the four of you hummed in response, telling her you were ready. A part of you was nervous. You were currently on your way to the “Yamazaki.” The Yamazaki is a bar owned by the one and only Bang Youngguk. It was one of the most popular bars in all of Korea and lots of big mafia men went there. Hence, the reason why you all were on your way there now. Rumor has it that Shownu, the leader of one of your rival gangs Monsta X, has been seen around the bar hanging out and getting his drink on. The plan was simple. Get in, someone seduce Shownu, get fake sexy time on, drug him, get the info you need (hint: his phone and any other valuable information or device this fine gentleman might have on him), and book it the fuck out of there.

Simple, really.

The only problem is, no one knew who Shownu would want or if he wanted any of them. There also was the danger of him recognizing you guys, very high chance of that happening honestly, however, you guys were just praying he would be too drunk to function. Hey who knows, maybe he likes the thrill of flirting with the enemy. You were pulled out of your thoughts as your phone dinged.

Mark Tuna 🐟

Be careful. Shownu is a powerful man and very well built. He can easily overpower you. Don’t do anything stupid or too dangerous. Just remember what I told you earlier and you’ll be fine. If you and the girls need help, I’m only a call away.

You smiled and rolled your eyes as you read the message. This wasn’t your first rodeo and it definitely won’t be your last. You thought back to what he had told you earlier.

“If all else fails, kick him in the balls and run. If he grabs you bite him. You’ll have weapons on you won’t you? Well forget what I said and just shoot him. Wait no, that could start a war. Yeah, just kick him down there and bite. Maybe at the same time. That could work. Yeah, yeah do that. Oh and make sure you use your heels.”

Mark had never ever showed any real concern about your safety other than this morning and at the party yesterday. You weren’t really used to this part of him but honestly, you kind of loved it. Mark was hella funny without even trying and...it’s kind of cute the way he cares for you. Not that you would ever tell him that. You just hope your relationship continues to move forward and not backwards.

“Alright ladies, we’re here,” Irene sighed out as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

“Hell yeah let’s kick some ass,” Joy cheered out causing Momo, Seulgi, and you to laugh. Irene just gave her an icy glare.

“Please try to take this serious Joy. Shownu is very dangerous and if something goes wrong we all could die,” Irene muttered out as she stepped out of the car.

The three of you gave her an apologetic smile as she laughed and shook her head.

“She loves me and my jokes, she just doesn’t want to admit it. She has to keep up that ice princess attitude but deep down she’s a softy who appreciates me.”

“Yeah sure I do now get your asses out of the car please.”

You all got out of the car and walked into the bar with easy. You didn’t have any problems getting through security which was nice. Phase one of the mission was completed. You got in. Now for phase two, seduction. As you guys walked through the sea of sweaty, nasty bodies, you scanned the area.

“Anybody see the prey?” Momo screamed over the loud music.

“Nope,” Joy yelled back.

“Great, maybe we should try to find a seat and see if we can find him. We should go up to the second floor,” Momo called back.

“What?” Seulgi screamed over the music.

“I said we should go up to the second-“ Momo yelled back even louder but was cut off by Seulgi.

“You said we should what?”

“Just follow us!” Joy belted at the top of her lungs frustrated.

You laugh and shook your head as you guys made your way to the second floor. You weren’t sure how any of you guys would be able to seduce or talk to Shownu when he wouldn’t even be able to hear you over the crust remix the DJ was playing.

“Alright so,” Irene started as you all found a table that looked over the ledge of the balcony.

“Can you just text it? I can’t hear anything,” Seulgi called out.

With a sigh, Irene pulled out her phone and began to type furiously. Honestly, the music was loud but it wasn’t loud enough for Seulgi to be that deaf. You felt your phone vibrate as Irene pressed send.

Ice Princess Irene 💖🥴

Alright so I think we need to all split up once (if) we spot Shownu. Momo and Seulgi you two are the best dancers out of us so maybe try to seduce him that way. Joy and y/n can also dance, of course, but maybe go to the bar and drink some drinks. Guys love lone girls at the bar. I want to stay up here and watch to make sure nothing goes wrong. If something happens I won’t hesitate to shoot or pull you all out. I don’t care about starting a war, you all are my main priority.

Little bear Seulgi 💛🐻

Sounds good to me

Joy to the world 💚 🌍

Ahhh I want to get my twerk on 😭

Dance momochine 💗💃

......joy.....no.....

Joy to the world 💚🌍

Whhhhyyyyy 🥺🥺

Y/n

I mean joy is kind of a dancing queen, if she wants to twerk it up I say we let her 🤷‍♀️

Ice Princess Irene 💖🥴

Have you all forgotten that we are currently on a mission??? Get off your damn phones and do your job and I feel dumb texting this when I could just scold you all right now

Joy to the world 💚🌍

GoTtA bLaSt 🏃‍♀️💨

So with that you all looked over the railing and tried to find Shownu. After about five minutes your eyes landed on a head with curly blonde hair. Your heart stopped in your chest.

“Oh no,” you muttered out as you felt your heart rate increase.

Why did he have to be here? At all the places he could be he decided to come here. There he was, Chris, well Chan, himself sitting as a large table with a bunch of pretty girls. You felt your heart twist as a little wave of jealous came over you.

“Y/n, whats the matter?” Joy yelled as she put her hand on your shoulder.

“He’s here, Chan’s here.”

“What?” Joy questioned as she followed your line of vision.

“Well I’ll be damned, he is here.”

Joy to the world 💚🌍

Chan is here

Ice Princess Irene 💖🥴

Are you serious? Where?

Irene looked up from her phone and looked straight at you. You pointed your finger to where he was. Irene muttered something under her breath as she looked down and began to type so fast you thought her phone would break.

Ice Princess Irene 💖🥴

Y/n I know you’re hurt and seeing him with all those girls probably doesn’t help but we have to stay and pay attention to the mission right now. Don’t let him distract you from your goal. Understood?

Y/n

Yes ma’am...Understood

Dance momochine 💗💃

Sorry to cut in but target spotted

That caused all of you to quickly look up at Momo.

“He’s right there,” she stated while pointing.

You all nodded once you spotted him. Everyone looked at Irene who nodded and signaled for you all to move. You both held contact for a little longer but you gave her a nod and thumbs up telling her you would be fine. Did you believe that? No but she didn’t need to know that. You all descended down the steps as your eyes traveled to Shownu who was currently sitting at the bar alone drinking what appeared to be a glass of whiskey. As he scanned the room his gaze held what only looked like a predator searching for its prey. Momo and Seulgi made there way to the dance floor, not too far from him but not too close, as you made your way over to Shownu. Joy went to the other end of the bar but you decided it would be better just to go for it. You weren’t going to talk to him first but it wouldn’t hurt to get as close as you possibly could. As you approached him, you felt a pair of eyes watching you. It wasn’t Shownu though. You glanced around the room trying to find who the hell was looking at you, fearing that maybe the plan had compromised already and Shownu had his men set up to snipe you all down. However, that wasn’t the case. You finally made eye contact with who was staring at you. It was Chan and he had a devilish smile on his face. You didn’t know what to do. Do you turn around and yeet yourself out of the room so that A.) the plan doesn’t get compromised and B.) Chan leaves you alone or do you continue on and hopefully get Shownu to notice you but possibly have to deal with the small chance of Chan coming over and screwing the entire thing up.

“Fuck it,” You mumbled as you made your way to Shownu and sat down practically next to him, leaving one seat in between the two of you.

“Can I have a piña colada (or alcohol drink that you like lol) please?” You asked the bartender as he came over to you.

“Make that two,” you heard a voice call out.

“Gotcha,” you thought as you turned your body to look at Shownu who had now placed him self next to you.

“Hey there gorgeous, I’m Shownu,” He smirked out, extending his hand.

“Y/n,” you replied taking his hand with a small smile.

“This is gonna be so easy,” you thought to yourself.

Little did you know it wasn’t. It wasn’t going to be easy, not by a long shot.

Polyhex Wars, Book 1 Part 2: The Timeline for the Robots Being Gay Goes Back Further Than I Thought

Ratchet wakes up from that whole, “mystical passing out” thing to find himself strapped to a table with his head all poked into with wires. Optimus and Prowl are also being subjected to this treatment, but they’re not awake yet.

I guess we all have that one character we just latch onto, don’t we?

Chromedome was there when all three of these guys collapsed, and went to go get help. Ratchet explains that there was black fire and breaking glass and it was all like some god-awful acid trip.

No kidding, doc.

Ratchet seems to think that all that actually happened, but it turns out that it was all in their heads, much like everything else that they’d seen. Chromedome just saw them drop with a flash of light.

Optimus wakes up, and First Aid explains that their mental trips into Limbo are coming closer and closer together, and becoming more violent as a result. There’s a good chance that the next time they have an attack, they’ll be sharing a dreamscape.

Prowl hasn’t woken up. Optimus is worried that he’s stuck in Limbo, and demands that they be put back under to guide him back to the land of the living. First Aid has his reservations, but what is he gonna do, argue with the space pope? Optimus and Ratchet are sent back in with the power of mind-transfer.

Let’s take a quick look at some Chromedome canon before we move on to the next chunk of story, because I want to try and get a feel for why Roberts seems to like him so much.

In the Marvel comics, Chromedome was kind of a reclusive computer nerd, who very much disliked the fact that all his programming skills were only being applied to the war effort as opposed to literally anything else. When Fortress Maximus decided to up and leave, he went along gladly. He ended up getting paired with a very outgoing, vain Nebulan partner named Stylor when the whole Headmaster thing happened. They had their differences, but ultimately were brought together by the common goal of kicking Decepticon ass for the greater good. Comic Chromedome is a relatively nice guy, if a bit cowardly- his final entry in the series was heading for the hills when Unicron showed up, but honestly I can’t really fault him for that.

And then there’s the Headmasters anime. Yeah, Chromedome was an anime protagonist back in the 90’s. Anime Chromedome is a completely different entity than his comic counterpart. His whole thing is that he wants revenge for the murder of his friends at the hands of Sixshot. He’s also a Headmaster- no shit- but it works a little differently, in that he’s the only one involved with the process. Chromedome himself IS the head, and the big body he plugs into is just this sort of inert mecha that he pilots when he wants to be able to reach the higher shelves at the supermarket.

Anime Chromedome is the second-in-command to Fortress Maximus, and he’s a bit of a jackass at times, but he seems to have his heart in the right place. You know, when he isn’t busy beating Decepticons to death. Anime Chromedome goes hard.

Getting back to the story, we return to the scene we left at the end of Part One, with the 40 Autobots having been caught in a trap in Darkmount.

Well that lasted all of five minutes. Poor Grandpa.

This starts a chain reaction, and it isn’t long before all the Autobots are throwing punches. Blaster goes full cowl, taking four guys on at once, and potentially kneeing someone in the nuts so hard they flies up into the air and are promptly exploded by gunfire. Blaster throws a gun to Sights, who is a sniper, and then is right back in the center of the fracas.

Sights is a sniper here, but it looks like the only Sights in Transformers canon is a bird who can turn into a fusion cannon. They probably aren’t the same character, unless there’s something I don’t know about birds.

Sights hauls himself up to a ledge using a grappling hook, and starts picking off Decepticons. Things seem to be turning around for the Autobots at this point, because Sights is the best.

Sights is what some might call a Mary Sue- he’s the best at sniping, rivaling Optimus Prime himself with his accuracy, everyone seems to know him, and he singlehandedly has turned the tide of this fight. As the Autobots escape, he manages to explode a key piece of Decepticon equipment, killing over a dozen enemy troops.

This is an earlier work, if you couldn’t already tell.

We do see some neat transitions in the writing, though.

Ratchet and Optimus have entered Limbo, and are feeling a little manic about the whole thing, especially since the space is just filled with corpses from the Time Wars. Like, it’s a carpet of dead bodies.

Roberts was all about that edge from the get-go, huh?

The two robots start walking, looking for Prowl.

Over with Red Alert on the Celestial, he’s not really feeling the vibe on this spacecraft. Neither is Hot Shot, but neither of them can really pinpoint why exactly that is. Sideswipe points out that Getaway doesn’t have his Nebulan partner with him- for this particular story, we’re going with the take on Getaway as a Powermaster, which means he has a smaller person who plugs into his body to act as a battery, kind of like a reverse parasite.

Comic books are weird.

Toy gimmicks are also weird.

This cues in the Autobots that things might not be on the up and up here. You know, that and the whole “Witterquick” thing. The boys load their weapons, but keep them concealed as they approach not-Blaster, who’s beginning to worry that he’s been caught after all this time. He must have sort flavor of social anxiety, because he’s kept his cool over the video chat for the last few weeks, but the moment Red Alert enters the room, he blows his cover and orders the Decepticons to attack.

Back at Darkmount, it seems we’ve lost a few people, as the count has gone from 40 to 29. The boys are running through the halls, completely clueless as to where to go in order to escape.

Don’t be shocked by the language, this is G1 Silverbolt, not the one who fucks is a complete gentleman to a spider.

I’m still convinced that this Courier guy is evil. You should be tossing him out the window, not looking to him for help.

The Decepticons are gaining. Hound, exasperated, asks as nicely as he can for Silverbolt to try and wake Courier up as they attempt to keep the distance between factions as wide as they can. Laser fire quickly becomes involved, and Swerve and Bumblebee go from the back of the pack to the front. Little fellas can move when they want to.

While Sights does another cool thing with some guns he stole, Courier wakes up and says- with some trouble, since he’s just woken up and still bleeding from that leg wound- that they should jump into the sewers to escape.

That’s all well and good, but if they intend on doing such a thing, they’ll need to put a bit more distance between themselves and their assailants. Everyone starts shooting at the ceiling, attempting to bring it crashing down. Everyone except Sights. No, instead Sights goes on picking off any Decepticon who gets too close for comfort, until they manage to bring the house down.

The strong, silent type, Sights is. Tall, dark, and handsome, too, most likely.

Back in Limbo, Ratchet’s starting to crack.

As if on cue, the ground starts to crack, revealing lava of all things, and the whole scene turns into Dante’s Inferno-flavored Hell. Yeah, proper noun Hell. Optimus and Ratchet are exploded by contact with a downpour of acid rain, then their bodies reconstituted, only to be burned to crispies by the lava. When they wake up from that, they find themselves stuck on a spinning silver plate in the sky, where they have an excellent view of where Prowl’s gotten to- he’s stranded on an asteroid with a big, scary Decepticon, who’s about to complete wreck his shit.

You know, the snark has always been there in Roberts’ writing, but it didn’t really hit its stride until after this piece of work.

Meanwhile, in the sewers, our Autobots aren’t doing so hot. Courier’s probably going to die if they don’t get him medical attention soon. I guess they just didn’t have any sort of medic on the Celestial when it was overtaken, which seems like a massive oversight. Or maybe they’re dead.

We don’t have time to worry about the hiring practices of the Autobots right now though, because a few Decepticons just arrived on the scene.

Well, there goes the token girl character.

Seems like nobody told these ‘Cons to not hit their deep cover operative. There goes several thousand years of Autobot secrets, dumbasses. Soundwave’s going to be so pissed.

The Autobots quickly fall into formation and start defending themselves. Turns out Rev-Tone’s on the scene.

Hi Rev-Tone!

Someone gets shot and proceeds to explode, which causes enough chaos for a Decepticon to load up a missile launcher without being noticed and fire it into the crowd.

Things are looking hopeless, so that means it’s time for Sights to make his Heroic Sacrifice™. Hound begs him to stay, because he can’t bear to lose anyone else.

Unfortunately, the Hound/Sights coffeeshop AU slowburn fit written by Rewind will have to have a fix-it fic tag, because Sights is almost immediately and literally ripped apart by a smattering of Decepticons. Knowing his time is running out, he busts out the big guns.

Oh my god he’s got fucking laser vision.

That isn’t quite enough though, so he initiates self-destruct, thereby saving his fellow Autobots and dying a hero.

You know, if you stack Sights on top of what was left of Quark after the interrogation scene, you make a whole robot. Worst. Duobot. Ever.

Not to worry though, because Wheeljack’s taken the opportunity to be all weird and cryptic, and insinuates that they potentially COULD bring Sights back from the dead. Because of course he can.

We don’t get to find out how that magic’s going to happen though, because it’s time to check in on Optimus and Ratchet.

Things aren’t going great. They crashed the disk, and it turns out that the giant Decepticon threatening Prowl and throwing body parts at him is Galvatron. Optimus leaps into action, attempting to use his magnetic repellence on the enemy.

I guess that’s a thing he has.

It works, but it’s taking a lot out of Optimus, so they need to figure something else out fast. Optimus, ever light on his mental feet, surges the power so that Galvatron explodes. Ratchet goes over to Prowl to see what his deal is, and it’s looking like he’s going to need brain surgery.

“Now back the hell up, Optimus, you’re breathing contaminates all over Prowl’s exposed brain.”

Back on Cybertron, it turns out that things might just be okay after all, as Hound and company have stumbled across the lost city of Subterrainia. Subterrainia did not exist in Transformers canon at the time of this writing, but it would in 2012, when Roberts used his immense power as a hired writer for the franchise to make it so.

Now that they’re in a place that has medical equipment, they can heal their wounded and indulge in a little lore. Trasher provides us with the backstory of this lost city.

Long before the War, Transformers lived on the surface of Cybertron. Then, one day, someone said, what if we didn’t do that? Then they built Subterrainia and lived there instead. Then the War happened and people sort of just forgot that it was there. The end.

That’s literally it.

After that riveting explanation, we check back in with Optimus, who I suppose forgot to put on his patience hat this morning, as he asks Ratchet to hurry up with the life-saving field surgery he’s currently in the middle of. Ratchet calls him out on it, as he should, and Optimus apologizes, going back to worrying about his troops outside of Limbo.

Over on the Celestial, Red Alert’s just had his arm shot off, and there’s a continuity error running amok.

You are supposed to be back at base, mister!

The Autobots are getting their asses kicked, and it’s not hard to see why- a lot of the Decepticons on this spacecraft are heavy hitters. Starscream’s here, the entire Combaticon team, it’s wild.

Then Starscream calls for escape plan 3 to take place, and they just… leave. It’s strange, and it’s sudden, and the Autobots can’t help but agree. Red Alert decides to see what’s on the computer to try and figure out what they’re planning, and ends up setting off the countdown for a bomb. Slapdash yells at him for being an idiot.

Back down in the City of the Mole People, Getaway’s come back from checking out the place, and informs Hound that it’s completely abandoned. He theorizes that the Decepticons killed everyone who lived here, an will probably come looking for them sooner rather than later. That’s all fine though, because Courier’s back and better than ever.

I still don’t trust him.

He says he knows how to get out of Subterrainia- which only chalks up more points against him being a true Autobot- but hold on! What about Sights?

Sights just got Goldbugged. It’s Ammo now.

Roberts will never let a pair of robot titties go unnoticed. I can’t believe that Wheeljack, with the limited time they had, would go and make Ammo this attractive, and then have the audacity to show him off with a dramatic reveal. It was completely unnecessary, but here we are, staring at Ammo’s strong arms and thighs, wishing to be held by Hotbot 9000 over here.

Hound is all about this overhaul. Look at him, getting all flustered.

Ammo as character is present in the IDW run of the comics, but in name only. They are very different creatures, much like the different iterations of Quark. Roberts is very into recycling, and here is no exception.

After Ammo’s debut, the narrative checks in on Autobot City, where things aren’t nearly as sexy; Starscream made a beeline for the place the moment they left the Celestial, and they’re wrecking shop. He’s doing this without orders to do so, by the way. This is just how Starscream wants his Monday to go, I guess. It’s looking pretty grim for the Autobots, and Optimus is still stuck in Limbo. Hopefully he gets back soon.

For the Ozqrow prompts can them hugging be a thing? After this episode I feel like those boys need a damn hug. Or maybe couples therapy and communication...

I’m so not equipped to be the one dishing out therapy for these two lol. But behold! The Argus trip that absolutely, totally happened! (Also less “Ozqrow” and more “Wholesome family feels” since Oscar ended up getting involved - sorry if that’s not what you were looking for! :o)

You did well out there.

Oscar shut his eyes, taking a moment to just let the words wash over him. With the grimm dead and behind them he could now feel a fierce ache settling into his limbs; the pounding of a bruise where his aura had broken while trying to scramble to safety. He was so thirsty he could barely swallow and his hands were numb with cold—except they blossomed with pain as soon as he packed the cane back up and slipped it onto his belt. Oscar had a headache. He had adrenaline still pumping through his veins. He had the vague sense that he knew all these feelings intimately, even though they were rather strange to a former farmhand.

He had pride that he’d done that.

As you should. Ozpin’s voice floated easily on the top of his mind today, crisp and clear. Your speed has increased immensely. As has the control over your aura.

“And I’m not attacking dust-infused murderers head on…”

The hum Oscar felt was simultaneously supportive and vaguely amused. Getting your ass kicked so hard that all you could do was lie in bed for three days gave a guy plenty of time to chat with the voice in his head, and those chats had revolved primarily around the topic of How to Judge When a Fight Will Get You Killed. It had taken Oscar about 48 hours and plenty of sniping… but he could admit now that he’d been a little hasty in trying to take on Hazel by himself.

Everything was just so complicated.

On that, at least, we can agree. But take heart, Oscar. You stood your ground today and you won.

“We won.”

And yes, a vague impression of Ozpin was included in the group that Oscar instinctually thought of. Having Jaune boost Ren’s aura had been a fantastic idea, allowing the grimm farther back to drop off completely, no longer drawn by the relic and a mass of terrified people. Relying on Weiss’ ice was another—they didn’t need to kill these grimm, just keep them from catching up. She’d captured wings and tails against the mountainside, Ruby shouting something about good times as she cut through the rest. Oscar hadn’t really followed it.

Ms. Schnee kept a Nevermore contained during initiation, giving the rest of her future team time to dispatch it. Ozpin’s voice reverberated with pride. A remarkable feat for an incoming student, considering the timing that move required. Ms. Schnne has always had a particular talent for precision.

“Weiss.”

…I’m sorry?

“You’re living in my head and I’m living with them. You should probably drop the formalities. I mean,” Oscar shrugged. “It’s not like you’re their headmaster anymore.”

Oh. He hadn’t meant that to sound so mean. He felt the brief flash of pain and regret and want that flowed through them… and then Ozpin reigned it all back in. Oscar was left with a hand pressing against his head and a voice trying desperately to sound chipper.

Perhaps you’re right.

“Hey, kid! Don’t go fainting on me.”

Qrow wound his way through the train’s passengers, many of them blocking the flow as they stopped to stare at Oscar. They’d all felt the first hit from the grimm of course, heard the defense mechanisms winding up, but they probably hadn’t expected one of their saviors to be a short-statured boy still dressed for the farm. Oscar sheepishly kicked the rest of the snow off his boots as Qrow finally made it to his side.

He had a martini in hand. With an orange slice.

We just got in, Oscar thought, barely managing to keep from saying it aloud. In the back of his mind a familiar warning built and Oscar pinched their shared arm because yeah, yeah, they’d been over this. He’d grown up in a family where everyone worked dawn to dusk and where potential mishap—a flooded field, a cattle’s breach birth, even a grimm attack—meant that everyone had to be clearheaded. Always. His aunt had never approved of drinking and frankly neither did Oscar… no matter how much Ozpin was willing to give Qrow a free pass.

We retain our separate opinions on the matter. Ozpin’s voice was once more tinged with a thread of amusement and…okay. Yeah. That was oddly reassuring.

Oscar’s shoulders slumped. “I’m just tired,” he said.

“You and me both. Like this month needed to get any crazier, huh?” Qrow took a long sip of his drink, but his eyes never left Oscar. They traveled from his soaked pants up into windblown hair. Then they narrowed. “You’re gonna freeze to death like that long before we hit Atlas. Go change. Then the squirts are all gathering in Ruby’s room to play video games. Wanna help me kick their ass?”

It sounded fun… though only in a theoretical way. Play video games with a bunch of kids his own age? Yeah. That’d be great. Oscar had often thought about that on the farm, what it would be like to go to school and make friends and just have someone other than his aunt around—

(I’m here.)

—but Oscar also knew that they’d already tried this. Everyone was nice while training, but then they’d all go off in their own groups when it was time to relax. They weren’t ignoring him exactly. They just didn’t seem to think he fit. And Oscar got it. He hadn’t gone to Beacon, or experienced the things that bound them all together. He wasn’t a member of a team. And it probably didn’t help that every time he walked into a room people got awkward with the automatic adult who joined them.

…I’m sorry.

“Alright, alright, you’ve convinced me.”

Oscar blinked. “What?”

“No, don’t worry, this dusty old crow doesn’t need to hear anymore. C’mon then.”

Qrow had set his drink on the small window-ledge. He was blocking the hallway now, standing with his feet planted and his arms slightly raised at his sides. The pose seemed at once exaggerated and familiar to him—though this time Oscar couldn’t tell if that was a familiarity on his end or Ozpin’s. A vague, embarrassed, grumbling sort of feeling suggested the latter.

“Jeez you’re bad at this,” Qrow said when he’d apparently stood still a moment too long. The next thing Oscar knew he was being pulled roughly against Qrow’s chest, the smell of alcohol and sweat overwhelming. He instinctually pushed back and Qrow’s arms tightened a fraction. Oscar paused.

He did smell like alcohol… but smoke too. Not cigarette smoke, but something woodsier; like Qrow had recently sat near a fire. With the initial shock gone Oscar could admit that Qrow’s shirt was a whole lot softer than it looked and his arms were a rather comforting weight around his back and shoulders. His aunt never hugged like this. She was light and quick, pulling Oscar quickly to her side before pushing him back out again. Qrow was solid—he was warm—and Oscar found himself instinctually relaxing against what felt like an immovable pillar; the one sturdy object amongst all this craziness. His hands inched up around Qrow’s waist and buried in the fabric he found there.

“There you go,” Qrow chuckled, moving one arm up to ruffle Oscar’s hair. Qrow felt him tense and immediately returned the limb to its former position, a clear statement of: I’m not pulling away. “I’ve got two nieces, kid. I know when a squirt needs a hug. Granted, Ruby usually just hangs off my arm and Yang prefers piggybacks. But it all amounts to the same. Besides, I used to do this for—”

Qrow paused, sighing.

Me.

The merge was a slow and arduous process, the kind of thing you only realized was happening when you looked back and bothered to compare where you were with where you’d been. Lately Oscar had found himself mimicking the way Ozpin sat with their cane and Ozpin sometimes spoke about the farm like he’d been the one to grow up there. Things were messy now, unclear boundaries with equally unclear origins. Were they really becoming one, or were they just so used to one another that they’d picked up on certain habits?

Oscar wasn’t sure he wanted to know.

But the merge was granting them new abilities as well, things beyond just access to Ozpin’s muscle memory. They’d found now that they could control their shared body without a full, formal switch—which was what happened now, Oscar’s fingers uncurling to instead press flat palms against Qrow’s back. The pressure had the same desperate tinge to it though.

Oscar was the one who buried their face in Qrow’s shirt. Ozpin was the one who held on.

“That’s not me,” Oscar whispered, wanting him to understand, not entirely sure he did either. Qrow just gathered him up further.

“I know, kid. I know.”

Ok but low-key suicidal Tony. Like he's not actively trying to die but he's always willing to rush heading into danger, always just a bit slow to dodge hits, and eager to take them for someone else. Nobody even notices until Bucky and/or Rhodey come by

The Weight of Living

(TW: Suicidal behavior) Note: Hey anon, I know it’s been a long time since you prompt it this, inspiration had a bit of a leave of absence. So I hope it lives p to the hype and the wait. Kisses.

Old habits die hard -if they die at all,- and that’s why he notices. How Iron Man plays it fast and loose and reckless, how everybody yells and huff but say nothing that hasn’t been said before. Tony’s eyes are miles away, he’s not listening and after they’re done, he smirks and walks away; every word sliding off his back like old snakeskin.

Bucky notices how Tony rarely joins them for meals, or anything really; how he would dance and deceive Colonel Rhodes and how the War Machine would narrow his eyes like an old shrew as if he is trying to see beyond the smiles and the quips and the easy affection. Only when Rhodes visits do Tony looks there.

Something is coming and they all know it, it’s why they’re all in New York again. In the meantime, Bucky wanders throughout the place and trains; gets some more memories back and fights off his nightmares in the gym. Because old habits die hard -if you remember to kill them- does Bucky see the silhouette blending in the shadows.

Tony on the ledge of the rooftop, when he was supposed to be in medical after a crash with a tank. Tony shuffling closer and…

“Stark?” His heart lurches when Tony turns his face to him but doesn’t step away. “Stark, what the hell are you doing? Get back!“

No matter how enhanced he is, Bucky wouldn’t be able to catch him if he falls. Something in the back of his head tells him that from everything he’d observed so far, Tony would most likely jump.

“Stark! Get down from that ledge!” Tony doesn’t seem to hear him and Bucky won’t be fast enough. “You don’t wanna do this, man. Come back before you hurt yourself.”

Bucky doesn’t have the words, he doesn’t know how to help; old habits die hard and somewhere else he’s seen that slump of the shoulders and that faraway stare (a lifetime ago), not seeking the cold embrace but not shying away from it.

“Do you know The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Barnes?” Tony’s voice carries with the wind and dread pools in Bucky’s stomach as he inches forward. “I like to recite the last stanza of the first part, do you know how it goes?”

“I don’t remember much, no.” Good God! What could he say if Tony pitched himself off his fucking Tower? ‘I didn’t remember some old timey poetry, sorry Stevie.’ Maybe… he just has to make the guy talk? “Care to share with the amnesiac?”

There was a bark of laughter, the genuine kind; apparently Stark have been faking even that. Tony turned his face to the starless heavens. “Ok, Barnes. It goes like this:

‘God save thee, ancient Mariner!

From the fiends, that plague thee thus!—

Why look'st thou so?‘—With my cross-bow” Bucky was so close now, just a few feet more. That’s when Tony finally pivoted around. It took a second for Bucky to realize he’d been played. Tony opened his arms like a wingless Icarus and his voice thundered, “I shot the ALBATROSS.”

“Tony, NO!” Despair kept him immobile, his mouth opened in a rictus of horror and pain, that was it; the impotence of watching Tony leap into the abyss below with no way of bringing him back. Of failing, of…

Oh god! His eyes were still fixed on the empty spot when the Iron Man suit whizzed by, the sound of repulsors startling him into breathing again. Bucky sagged in relief and waited until his limbs stopped shaking.

He was gonna fucking kill him. He was! He didn’t care about being pardoned, he was gonna end Tony Fucking Stark. He…

“WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, UH?” Bucky couldn’t give two shits and a blind penguin about getting in Stark’s face or the volume of his voice. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Tony just stood there, against the glass with his eyes zeroed on Bucky’s. “You asked.”

That threw him off, “What?”

“About the Ancient Mariner.”

Bucky spluttered, enraged and confused and fucking scared witless. “That’s not how the fucking poem goes, Stark!”

Tony cocked his head a little as if he was the one confused by Bucky’s behavior. “Well it does, when you’re the albatross, does it not?” He narrowed his eyes then and shook Bucky off. Until then, Bucky hadn’t realized how close he’d gotten. “Besides, why are you getting your long johns in a twist?”

“Wh-why?!”

“Yeah, why? Why do you even care?” Tony slipped away then and Bucky couldn’t help but ponder.

In the morning, Bucky had decided he needed no reason to care, he just did.

“Going somewhere, Buck?” Steve’s voice was jovial and friendly, it warmed him like a hug. But he wasn’t about to spill his guts over the breakfast table.

“Stark’s workshop.” He was carrying a tray with food and a fresh pot of coffee. Stark wasn’t gonna waste away on his watch. Fucking asshole.

“Sta- Want me to go with you?” Steve asked as he stood; like his frame could be a wall of protection; cute but unnecessary.

“Is he rabid or something?” Bucky quipped and Steve took a step back. They avoided Stark just as much as he avoided them but Steve was their leader and he hasn’t seen. “I can take of him, Stevie. Go hen, Wilson or something.”

“Jerk.”

“Yeah, yeah. Later you little punk.”

There had been a tiff over ‘shop access when he moved into the Tower, apparently, now it was above their level of clearance and nobody like to ask the required permission. Bucky didn’t mind, much less if he’d to ask FRIDAY. “Morning, little lady.”

“Morning, Mr. Barnable.”

“Still won’t call me by my name, I see.” Bucky like the AI, she had no qualms about treating him like any other person and pranking him if she felt like it. It was nice. “I was wondering if you’d allow me to see your boss?”

“Whatever for?” There was a warning in her synthesized voice, Bucky heeded it.

“Well, he sucks at taking care of himself and I brought him food.”

“Boss’ security is my priority, are you alluding I’m bad at my job?” Was she, could computers hiss?

“He was playing Russian Roulette at the top of the Tower last night, you tell me.” Bucky wasn’t trying to antagonize her but she needed to understand the urgency of the matter.

“I don’t have arms, so I’m doing my best without violating protocol,” FRIDAY said, could programs get tired?

“Let me try then,” Bucky search one of her cameras, lifting the tray like a peace offering, “I’m just trying to feed him.”

“Very well,” She ceded as the doors unlocked. “Remember, I’m watching you.”

“Wouldn’t forget it.” He marched in before she had time to rescind. Tony looked like a steampunk bastard in the middle of his shop. In the harsh fluorescent lights, his skin looked ashen marred with grease. As if he was wasting away. “Stark.”

“FRIDAY, intruder alert.” He mumbled but remained hunched over whatever he was working on.

“Boss.”

“Breakfast’s here,” Bucky announced.

“Not hungry, bye bye.” Tony still didn’t face him. Bucky felt the surge of anger and fear; fresh and ugly and terrifying.

The servos shifted as he found a table for the tray. God, he wanted to pull his hair; this asshole. This tired, miserable asshole. “I didn’t really ask if you were hungry, Stark.”

“I’m not, so you can go away.”

“Or, I can call your friend and let him know what you’ve been doing when everyone sleeps.” That was a low blow and uncalled for but he was running out of options and no one else seemed to care. Tony froze and his shoulders bunched up.

“Don’t- Don’t bring Rhodey into this.” There was a catch there. “I can take care of myself just fine. I don-”

“You threw yourself from the top of the Tower, Tony!” Bucky promised himself he wouldn’t lose his temper, he swore he was gonna be calm. This wasn’t calm. He took a deep breath and tried again. “You think nobody noticed but I did. I notice how you’re not really here and how fast you fly towards danger, how you hardly eat and how sometimes you let that beard get out of control.”

Bucky waited, even when the silence was suffocating, perhaps he’d said too much. Perhaps…

“That’s very stalkerish behavior. It’s creepy.”

“I brought you a whole pot of black coffee.” He offered because maybe Tony was right, not that Bucky cared much, not if it kept Tony alive.

“Should have opened with that,” Tony said and finally moved towards the food. Bucky sat back and watched.

Things didn’t get better and Bucky didn’t say anything; he did cover Tony’s back in the field, sniping things and clipping goons before Tony could catapult himself into danger. He brought at least one meal to the shop every day and made sure FRIDAY had a take-out order ready when Tony was out of his reach. He’d watch closely but sometimes Tony would slip away and jump off the roof.

Bucky hated those days; he would stick to Tony and glower at anyone trying to say something.

“Could you fucking stop?”

“Some days I’m the albatross,” Tony said not looking at Bucky. “Most days, I’m the Mariner.”

Bucky read the fucking poem. He hated the fucking romantics but found himself connecting with Coleridge. With the penance that had to be paid, the albatross around his neck, the fucking weight of living. He understood it, lived through it, still does.

That doesn’t stop him from trying to bring Tony ashore.

It’s weeks later, so many days upon days upon days when it happens. Tony was having a good week, needed little prompting to eat and left the lab, talked about some upgrade for the Spider-kid of his, even played some of that loud music he was fond of, he’d smiled at Bucky and thanked him for the food and coffee.

So, of course, the Thing they’ve been preparing for attacked then and Bucky was too far away to catch Tony. Tony who compared himself to a dead bird and looked more like a myth.

“You want to fall? Then fall!” Thanos pitched Tony from the sky and he looked like a star aflame. Bucky could do nothing but scream.

“Tony!” He roars and fear is pumping through his veins because this had been a good week and Tony had smiled and FRIDAY called him ‘Mr. Barnes’ and it had been a good week, fuck!

“Bucky, stop!”

“Tony!” The world stops, as he runs and tries to reach before Tony plummets. Tony never reached the ground before. He was meant for the skies, he couldn’t…

Like some ethereal being, Tony is surrounded in light. Suspended above the ground, Bucky is mesmerized by the image and on the other side is a woman whose face shifts between flesh and bone. Bucky feels heavier than ever but even in that feeling of swimming through molasses, he hears it. “Get Stark, get him!”

Bucky narrows his eyes at the woman and moves, drops the weaponry and runs as if his life depended on it, maybe it does. Because Tony smiled and she didn’t get to win now. He launches and grabs Tony with his metal arm, the bubble breaks and everything starts to move in real time again.

Bucky slumps with Tony half on his lap, half off; he cares very little about blood circulation at the moment. “Tony? Tony, hey dollface talk to me.” He begs but the suit is dead, nothing but a metal coffin and he is terrified. “Tony, please. Don’t do this now. Tony?”

“Allow me.” She’s right there, just like in the poem. Dead and alive, powerfully sublime but she can’t have him. Bucky snarls. “You have plucked him from my grasp, Soldier. I won’t take him, not yet.”

The armor falls back as if she had melted it with nothing but a thought. Bucky stared in fascination, his eyes on Tony; flesh hand over his chest, trying to feel a pulse.

“Go on. It’s not every day that Love beats Death.”

“I-”

“Icarus loved the Sun too much, this one had nothing but an empty sky. Show him the map of stars you’ve crafted in his name. Call him home.”

Bucky’s heart thumped wildly in his ribcage. What if Tony chose to leave all the same? What then? “Tony? Sweetheart, please. Come on, are you really gonna let that purple blob become the protagonist? Tony, darling. Please, for me?”

He was getting desperate, he knew. Bucky buried his face in the crook of Tony’s neck and fought to breathe. He caught him, he was there. He loved him and it still wasn’t-

“Don’t tell Rhodey.”

Bucky pulled back, eyes awash with tears and couldn’t stop the sobbing laughter. Hugging him tighter, because he fucking could. “How about we kick this guy’s ass. Then, when we get home, I’ll make us some coffee.”

Tony’s eyes lighted up and smile. “You should have lead with that…darling.”

Bucky denies blushing when Tony kissed his cheek, he swears he wasn’t. Death is not a reliable witness anyhow. It’s hard to kill old habits if you do it by yourself.

So, Bucky Barnes takes Tony Stark’s hand and they go kick some Titan butt. They have a coffee date, after all.

we’re leaving soon pt. 8 | sierra and nat

walking down the hall, sierra unlocked the door, moving out of your way so you could get in with all the towels. the boys were gone, and all their clothes were on the floor. laughing, you set the towels on the bed as sierra threw a bathing suit at you. the suits were matching, and pretty revealing, but you both didn't care since it was only the boys at the pool. changing, you took your hair down, as it just hung down, naturally. sierra curls still bounced around her back, as she walked over to you in her bathing suit. "aren't these the cutest things ever?" she smiled, striking a pose in her bathing suit, causing you to laugh. "they are actually adorable, good job picking them out." you smiled, grabbing all eight towels yourself, and carrying them down to the pool. opening the door, you heard five different whistles, all at different times. you both laughed ignoring them as you set the towels and phones down on a lounger. "holy mother of hell." jonah smirked, eyeing both of you up and down. "how are you both so fine?" jack added, licking his lips as you both walked along the outside of the pool. out of nowhere, you and sierra were both picked up, and before you could blink, hit the waters surface and went under. at the bottom of the pool, you could hear laughs coming from the boys. shooting up, you and sierra both cleaned your eyes, opening to see daniel and zach laughing their heads off on the outside of the pool. "assholes, that was not funny!" sierra said, trying to hold back her laughs, but failing miserably. "we wanted pictures!" you cried, "preferably when we didn't look like wet poodles!" you crossed your arms. suddenly, another splash of water only sniped you in the face. it was corbyn, jumping off the diving board, meters away from you. sierra got out of the pool, and ran st zach, trying to take him down. she was failing horribly, as zach picked her up and showered her in kisses. they stopped fighting, and started making out as all of your eyes rolled. daniel slid into the pool, and swam over to you where he looked you in the eyes. "how was that, princess?" he questioned, smirking. "it would've been great, if i knew that was happening and didn't land right in my bare ass!" you sassed back, splashing him in the face with a tiny amount of water. "hey now, i thought it was funny... and clearly everyone else did too." daniel laughing, scooping you into his arms and carrying you around the pool, kissing your cheeks and lips the odd time. the five of you in the pool, decided to get out and head over to the big hot tub, which was burning hot. "holy shit balls!" you screamed as you slid into the boiling hot water. the other boys joined, as you sat on daniels lap, watching the boys wince in pain at the burning sensation. "i swear this water just burnt all my leg hair off, no joke." corbyn said, as he finally sat down and ignored the heat. sierra and zach had now disappeared, still making out somewhere, but not the pool area. before you let something happen, daniel called out. "zach, sierra, come on. you can take a break from making out, and co,e hang with us." daniel yelled, as there was no reply. the only time sierra got wet was when she was thrown into the pool, and zach wasn't in water the whole time. "they didn't go back up to the room.... right?" jack questioned, looking around. then, zach came through the doors into the pool area, with sierra propped on top of his shoulder, laughing. "what? we are here, we weren't gone for that long." zach smirked. "it's been fifty minutes." you replied, turning your head to face the two outside the hot tub. they both had severely messed up hair, but neither you, or the boys decided to question it. zach walked into the hot tub, still carrying sierra on his neck, and winced. "fuck fuck fuck that's hot!" zach cried, quickly running in. "don't let me touch the water then!" sierra screamed, grasping her hands onto zachs head, avoiding the water. zach got so deep down, that sierra fell off his shoulders and right ontop of you and daniel. she screamed, as the water literally burnt her. she got over it. "hey babe." she smirked, playing with your hair as she laughed. she was laying on top of you, as she glared at daniel, behind you. "is there a problem, sierra?" daniel smirked back. "shut up. you seriously need to watch your back, im coming for you." sierra replied, causing you to laugh. she swam off of you, and over to the ledge where she sat in between zach and jack. "not going to lie guys', you started, "i really think i sprained practically both my ankles during that competition." they all laughed at you, daniel wrapped his arms around you and squeezed you into a hug, his chest pressing against your back. "yeah right. if anyone sprained their ankles, it was that girl sierra pushed to the ground." jonah said, looking over at sierra. "true, you are waaaaay too feisty and sassy." daniel smiled, looking at sierra. "but it was hot." zach smirked, kissing sierras neck. "she deserved it. nat should remember her, she's the girl that tried to ruin your life that one time. she claimed you sent her boyfriend nudes? i took her down and ended her life pretty quickly after i heard that rumour." sierra said, as all the boys turned the heads to face you, confused. "okay, before you start accusing, i never sent her boyfriend nudes!" you exclaimed, telling the truth. "i'd hope so, or dani would figure out who this boy is and rip his throat out." jack added, smiling at you and daniel nodded his head embarrassed, squeezing you harder. "i promise. but when sierra found out, she drug the girl outside, and bet the living shit out of her." you stated, widening your eyes. "i punched her twice!" sierra declared. "those two punches knocked her unconscious, and gave her a nose bleed sierra!" you replied, splashing the hot water at her. @hellawdw

Tonight for the first time in a long time I have some splatoon related writing to show off! After some salt fuelled matched I’ve played with @yougottobesquiddingme it gave me enough inspiration to write out this story.

It was a pleasant warm afternoon in Inkopolis and Blake was enjoying fighting a few rounds of turf wars. His job as a fitness instructor kept him busy but he dedicated a set number of hours in the week to maintaining his abilities as a sniper. He was in the middle of switching between lobbies when an short octoling with orange hair walked by. He didn't know many octolings, but something about her was familiar and he tried to remember where or when he might have seen her. A few moments later a talk with one of his cousins came to his mind...

'I've been trying to use chargers today cousin. I was having trouble at first, but a grumpy looking octoling saw me and pitied me enough that she decided to teach me a bit.. She was short, had orange hair and she swore a lot but she really did help me. Her name was...'

Blake's eyes widened as recognized her as the octoling Justin told him about, and between her lessons and his further instructions his cousin decided to purchase a bamboozler to use as a secondary weapon. The chance to talk to his cousin's mentor was too good an opportunity to ignore so he walked along to catch up and he called out to her.

"Excuse me, you there with the orange hair. Does your name happen to be Tempo?"

The octoling stopped walking, slowly turned around, crossed her arms and her green eyes looked at Blake dubiously.

"Yeah, that's my name. Who the shell are you and what do you want?"

"I'm Blake, Justin's older cousin. He's told me a lot about you and the lessons you gave him in sniping."

"So that's how you know about me. I did give that sack of ink's some lessons... but he failed to mention you were one of those chargers."

"Hah, people comment about that a lot, but I don't give a damn. If they're going to waste time complaining that means I can shoot them while they're talking."

"That's some big talk coming from an unskilled damage stacker."

"I'm not going to waste time arguing with you. If it bothers you that much you should join me for a few matches, see what I'm capable of. I'd rather let my actions do the talking."

"Fine, if you want me to put you in your place that badly I'll take you on. You'd better not be disappointed when I embarrass you."

"Try not to underestimate me won't you? Let's go."

----

So they walked along the corridors and Tempo followed Blake into a turf wars lobby. She still wanted to dismiss him as a damage stacking amateur, but she was curious about this cousin of Justin's. As they entered a lobby she insisted on being on the opposite team for the entire session and during the first few matches she chose to stay out Blake's weapon range to get a better understanding of his playstyle. She noticed that Blake had no problems sniping at range with his weapon, but he would often get in close and shoot people down as if he was using a squiffer instead of a splatterscope.

Every now and again one of her teammates would try to sneak up on Blake. But each time they got close he retreated and dropped a splat bomb to protect his retreat. And on several occasions the bombs would detonate just as her teammates had finished climbing up ledges or slopes and splat them. One particular inkling insisted on chasing him back towards his spawn point only to scream in terror as multiple bombs rolled at their feet before exploding.

Tempo rolled her eyes at her teammates incompetence but she reluctantly admitted that he was a little bit smarter than she expected. But she continued thinking over which octarian insults would be good to use against him.

Once the current match ended two inklings left the lobby and they had to wait until replacements came. Tempo wanted to have a quick smoke between the matches and she wished that she had enough time to light one up. As she waited Blake walked over to her with a thoughtful look on his face.

"I noticed that you stayed out of my range for all those matches. You've been scouting me the whole time right?"

"Hmph. I'm surprised you noticed through all the damage stacking you're wearing. Guess your eyes aren't completely useless."

"Oh no, you're insulted me. The pain hurts too much." Blake deadpanned. "But what do you think so far?"

"For a filthy damage stacker you know a few sniping tricks. If you didn't rely on it so much you might be an okay sniper." Tempo said with as much contempt as she could put into her voice.

"...Is that so? I'll try to show you some other tricks I know."

Before Tempo could respond a pair of inklings hurried into the lobby and the announcer told everyone that the next match was at Blackbelly Skatepark and to jump through the transporter kettles. As the next match started Tempo felt ready to prove that she was the better sniper (and to rub it in later). She used her recon ability to check the direction Blake was moving in and she inked a trail towards him. Once she was in range took aim and charged her weapon up. But he saw the laser sight and threw a splat bomb in her direction before he dived behind cover.

With a disappointed grunt Tempo jumped clear of the bomb before it detonated and waited for another opportunity. The moment she saw him start sniping she jumped up and started charging her weapon again. Blake noticed her again and he started charging his weapon. Tempo kept her cool and strafed sideways while he tried to shoot her. The shot barely missed her head but the moment after she lined up her own shot and splatted him. Tempo smiled because she was the first to spill ink, but she kept her focus and stayed alert. There was plenty of time left in the match and anything could happen.

So while she waited for Blake to respawn she swam to the top of the central tower, threw down a splash wall and sniped at anyone that got too close including one inkling that never bothered to look above them. Her team had inked a majority of the stage but she was concerned because she couldn't see him anywhere. She cautiously deployed another splash wall to protect herself and stayed alert. She was lining up another shot when he hopped onto the top of the tower beside her with a grin.

In a panic Tempo turned and aimed towards him but he was easily able to avoid her shot. Then she tried to splat him with several tap shots of her bento splatterscope, but Blake splatted her with two tap shots of his own and stood victorious on the tower.

Tempo respawned, muttered a rich octarian insult and checked for Blake's location on her splat gear. His surprise attack ruined the satisfaction she felt earlier and now she wanted to make him pay. As she moved towards a sniping perch she looked around for her target but she couldn't see him anywhere. She found this to be very suspicious and she warily resumed targeting the other squids on the battlefield. Moments later she saw one inkling that was covering turf nearby, and so she started to charge up her weapon and lined up her shot...

Only for a laser sight to appear on her arm the instant before she was splatted by a shot from Blake's splatterscope.

She respawned just as the whistle for the match sounded and her stomach tightened in anger as she realized that he had waited for her to target someone else before he shot her down. The ways he had splatted her disgusted her, and in the wait between matches she glared at him to show how angry she was. But she failed to intimidate him, and Blake shrugged and checked that his weapon was in good working order.

The next match took place at Kelp Dome, and Tempo swore to make him pay. Using her splat gear again she saw him move to the left side of his spawn point, and she decided that playing cautiously would be the better option. So she travelled to the right side of her spawn point and slowly fought her way to the centre of the arena.

With clever use of her splash walls and the walls of the central platform she gained a foothold and kept her opponents back for some time. She shoot down one inkling and noticed that her special had charged up. But she also heard weapons fire nearby and she activated her echolocator to investigate. On the other side of the platform she saw that a pair of opponents were fighting on the other side of the platform and splatting her teammates. She moved around the platform to look in their direction...

...only to jump back the moment she saw a laser sight appear next to her face which saved her from being splatted. Tempo swam away and tried to stay out of Blake's weapon range. In her desperation she threw down a splash wall and started charging her weapon the moment she heard the wall deploy. But she saw his head glow brighter before he started throwing a stream of splat bombs that obliterated her splash wall while the rest landed all around her and splatted her.

The moment she respawned Tempo rolled her eyes in disgust. To her eyes Blake was playing like a slimy cephalopod and the oily ways he used to fight infuriated her so much that she wanted to tell him to shove his weapon up his own ass. With a heavy sigh she checked the map on her splat gear and went after him, hoping to pay him back for his tricks.

But she never got the chance.

For the rest of the match Blake went on the offensive and used every trick he knew to splat her. He shot her at tricky angles through the grating, he poked around corners out of nowhere while she was targeting someone else, he also got insider her range and splatted her with partial charged shots while she was waiting for her weapon to charge up fully. Her frustration piled up to the point that she lost her focus and she couldn't snipe properly for the rest of the match. Blake's team took control of the stage and they were declared the winning team when the timer ran out. The instant the announcement was over Tempo stormed over to Blake, crossed her arms and glared death at him.

"What do you think you were doing you oily ink stain?" She growled. "I ought to make you suck a big codfish."

"I said I'd use some more tricks, and that's what I did." Blake said with a shrug. Tempo couldn't stand his indifference to her anger.

"You call those tricks? You played like a grimy stain, and no respecting sniper would play like you did. Why aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Blake stood in silence for a moment, and Tempo wondered if she had finally made him angry. But when he spoke up he spoke calmly and with conviction.

"Look, I know damage stacking snipers get a lot of hate. Not everyone fights or plays fair. Just think about all the damage stackers and the respawn/stealth jumpers that you run into in the S and S+ classes. They'll do anything they can to win their matches even if people whine about the methods they use. As I see it you can either waste time complaining... or you can accept that those playstyles work and learn to deal with them.

And this also applies to the manipulative slimeballs that know how to make your life miserable with their every word and action. I've dealt with enough of them that I don't have the patience to deal with their bullsquid anymore and I'd rather learn to fight dirty like they do so I can better protect myself and my friends."

Tempo's eyes narrowed as his words brought up memories of an octoling with blue rings and a venomous personality. As she thought about those memories Blake nodded in understanding.

"Ah, you've had to deal with someone like that before. I can tell it from the look in your eyes."

"...Okay. I might have had to deal with someone that caused me and a friend a lot of grief, and they used every slimy and dirty trick just like you say they do. But I'm not saying anything more."

"We all have memories we'd rather forget. But you had to be prepared for whatever dirty tricks that someone used right? Using damage stacking is my way of preparing for the worst in turf wars. I can splat someone at short or long range with my weapon, and that's the way I like to fight."

"I guess that makes sense... But I still don't like the way you stack damage."

"I'm not asking you to like it. I just wanted you to understand why I use it."

"Yeah yeah, I get your point. But the way you fight reminds me of some of the octarians I used to know."

"Hmmm, so you think I fight like an octarian... I wonder if Marina would agree with you." Blake said thoughtfully.

"Who's Marina?" Tempo asked.

"Marina is a friend of mine. And octoling and a former octo-soldier. We used to be part of a turf wars squad."

"A former octoling soldier chose to be friends with a dirty damage stacker like you? I don't believe you." Tempo said doubtfully.

"Feel free not to believe me, but she chose to be my friend. I even have an octobrush that she gave me as a gift."

"Oh Bullsquid. You're making this up."

"So you need some convincing? Fine, how about I just show you the brush?"

"Sure, I guess."

So Tempo walked with Blake away from the lobbies and they made their way to one of the locker rooms. She waited outside while he retrieved the weapon. A few moments later he reappeared holding an octobrush in his arms and the moment she saw it Tempo's eyes widened in surprise.

"Do you believe me now?" Blake asked.

"Maybe... Give me that octobrush for a minute." She demanded. Blake shrugged and carefully handed it over. Tempo turned and moved the weapon around in her hands, examining every detail of the brush from every angle. Once she finished her inspection she handed it back to Blake who saw a look of reluctant respect in her eyes.

"This isn't a 'turf wars' toy. She gave you a proper octarian weapon to use as your own. It must have been hers because we all received one when we completed our military training. She trusted you a lot to give you this... so you better take good damn care of it." Tempo explained.

"Ahhh... I felt the weapon was important to her, but I didn't know that it was a memento of her days as a soldier. We parted ways as friends some time ago but I still think of her whenever I use that octobrush in a fight."

"…I guess you can't be that bad if an octarian trusted you enough to give you that weapon.... Sorry for misjudging you. And your sack of ink cousin's pretty tough for a squimp."

"He told me about your lessons, and I think he handled them pretty well." Blake replied with a polite nod.

"I pushed him hard but it he didn't quit. He's a stubborn squid."

"It's good that you did push him. Life can be a harsh teacher and he still has a lot of growing to do."

"That was the point I made with my lessons. Now, those matches against you stressed me out. So I'm leaving and the first I'm doing is to have a smoke to relieve the stress."

"Alright. Thanks for the games it was an enlightening experience."

"Hmph. Sure. See you around, you slimy ink sack."

Rogue One: Second Viewing

- link to my other Rogue One blabberings -

Watched Rogue One for the second time today on the big screen. Here are some more thoughts since I’m not inundated by “HOLY SHIT” feelings from experiencing it the first time. There may be some repeat thoughts.

NB, as usual: have only seen the movie and read a small portion of its prequel Catalyst so far. I try to talk about individual characters themselves, but shipping thoughts concerning RebelCaptain (Jyn/Cassian) and SpiritAssassin (Chirrut/Baze) still occur.

Warning: THIS IS REALLY, REALLY LONG. Not exaggerating in any way.

Quick General Thoughts

I’d seen the movie a little more than a month ago and have swamped myself in fandom, so I thought I wouldn’t have Extreme Emotions from seeing it again. I even thought I’d be bored for some bits.

I was wrong.

It’s a beautiful movie, and I honestly liked every single performance by the actors and actresses. I thought they were all really good or amazing.

By far one of the most intense movies that I’ve seen in general, not just the Star Wars ‘verse.

Lah’mu

There’s a piece of symbolism in some Rogue One book material that talks about how the movie bookends the theme of “Jyn” and “home.” AKA: Jyn starts the movie by having a home, and Jyn ends the movie by rediscovering home. Figuratively, this is shown by Lah’mu with her parents (start) and the Scarif beach with Cassian (end) (or you could argue the entire Rogue One team becoming family, a la Baze’s “little sister”, as “home”).

However, now I can see there’s also a literal interpretation of this: Jyn’s Lah’mu home is next to a beach. And you remember where she dies? A BEACH.

If one of the Stormtroopers was taught even a little bit of forensic science, Jyn would have absolutely been found underneath that damn rock. They live on rich, loamy soil. Anyone heard of footprints or tracks? I guess Death Troopers are too busy learning how to kill people.

Lyra Erso continues to grow in my heart as a hero and wonderful human being, and I am sad and bitter that beyond one or two lines from Galen and Orson (tangentially for the latter), she is never discussed or mentioned post-Lah’mu. Read Catalyst; Lyra is a badass.

“You will never win.” = Erso Rebels, one for one.

Lyra/Galen4lyfe. They love each other so friggin much (again, read Catalyst for the one-two-three punch in the gut feels (even though I’ve only read a little)).

I wonder what sort of crops the Ersos grew.

Rings of Kafrene

I originally thought Cassian was very blank-faced about killing the informant and any guilt he felt wasn’t expressed except 100% internally or at a later time on his own. Nope, he definitely shows guilt/regret immediately after shooting the guy, even with Stormtroopers converging. Throughout the movie, in fact, he shows a LOT of guilty faces/body language. Not as perfect as a spy as I thought! (at least 100% of the time)

Wobani Prison

FN-2187 is a reference to Leia’s prison cell 2187. At Wobani, cell 4227 is mentioned. They don’t mean Jyn’s cell, but it finally explains to me why one of my favorite fics (Death Trooper One) uses the designation DT-4227. Tricky, tricky, tricky!

Yavin 4

Yooooo, Jyn is amazing at doing a non-reactive, “I won’t tell you shit” face.

Whatever you say about Draven’s duplicity and cutthroat tactics, Mothma’s democratic idealism is unsustainable bullshit. A lot of fics like to uphold her as this Kind Rebellion Paragon Leader vs Draven, but you know what? Saw had a point in separating from the rebellion. I don’t condone his “civilian deaths are unavoidable” tactics, but Mothma’s path is a fruitless endeavor, and she should have been completely aware of that after twenty years of Empire rule.

This is a passionate, immediate response after seeing the movie again. Maybe someone has some meta to calm me down/see Mothma’s side of the story.

Jedha

So many Asians on Jedha! <3333 (now all dead </3333 )

Small funny moment: the scene where Chirrut and Baze come to the rescue, there’s two little old Asian ladies sitting in the corners of the courtyard just chilling around.

I believe Cassian’s feelings for Jyn went from “unwanted charge” to “shit DEVELOPING FEELINGS” sometime between Jyn saving the little girl and Jyn beating the asses of Stormtroopers with her truncheons. I told you guys that Cassian has a Competency kink.

Jyn’s feelings, on the other hand, went from “jailer” to “friendly.” And I think that explains the level of betrayal she expresses to Cassian after Eadu; yeah, she’s pissed that he was planning to kill her father, but she was also pissed that he had lied to her. She had considered him a friend by the time they had arrived there, and she hadn’t had friends for a long time.

I think it says something about Jyn that, even if she is at most amused by K-2SO or at worst annoyed/indifferent to him, she still is the one who jumps in front of his body when Baze points a gun to him. She responds faster than Cassian, who (definitely) considers Kay his best friend. When Jyn is in a team, she is loyal. (I really, really like Jyn, okay.)

Bor Gullet (the tentacle creature) continues to be gross-looking, and even though I admire the subtle acting choices of Bodhi’s character arc by Riz Ahmed from “nervous defector to traumatized pilot to recovering person”, I do wish we got a better understanding of how damaging this creature (nonhuman sentient?) is. (Apparently the book does a good job?)

Again, I desperately desire more background on Saw’s spiral into severe paranoia. At one point did he start thinking that everyone was going to betray him? At one point did he find the Bor Gullet?

We know that the Empire hates non-humans, but do you know what I found really interesting? The Rebellion actually showcases only a few nonhumans. Do you know which group represents the most non-humans (besides local populations)? Saw’s Partisans.

There’s not supposed to be galactic racism in Star Wars (I don’t know about extended universe materials, so maybe (most likely) racism exists on individual planet cultures). Rather, it’s replaced by speciesism. And I find the fact that the Partisans are heavily made up of non-humans (and the Rebellion not) extremely interesting if you parallel it to American politics on race throughout the centuries. I’m simplifying the issue, but in fights for equality and justice, who are the people associated with violent protest and riots by society? Who often feel and are sidelined by mainstream movements?

Still curious at what point Saw separated from the Rebellion. I assume post-Lah’mu, just because Galen seems under the impression that Saw is still in contact with the Rebellion.

Saw says outright that Jyn was his best fighter. SO MANY RADICAL!JYN FEELINGS.

and this is why I can’t really support Cassian’s side of the argument after Eadu - Jyn had been involved in the Fight for a very long time. When she says at her interrogation that she “didn’t have the luxury of political opinions,” she has a good reason in saying that! She was never allowed to have a choice: she was born in a Separatist prison, raised by the Empire, ran away from an Empire, and then absorbed into a radical Rebellion cell. It isn’t until Saw abandons her that she makes a choice: the Empire and the Rebellion both hurt her deeply. These weren’t minor hits against her; they performed acts that damaged the core of her soul and transformed her personality. Why does she have any obligation to support either in any way?

Even if you think that abandoning the Fight was a very selfish thing to do, I think it would be incorrect to say that it was an unfounded decision on her part.

Galen mentioning Lyra (;_______;)

I loved all the performances, but Forest Whitaker’s is actually my favorite. Just, wow. (And Jyn’s heartbroken face when Saw refused to leave with her: :( I mean, considering his broken body, no way would he have been able to get out of the mountain, no less to the ship, and he absolutely knew that.)

The destruction of Jedha City was awe-inspiring, in the original etymology of the word (fear, terror). Alderaan’s destruction is sad, but it’s distant - a sphere blows up. The detail of Jedha City’s annihiliation... even on-the-ground videos of nuclear bomb testing and Hiroshima/Nagasaki don’t strike as much fear into my heart (please don’t attack me).

Baze’s FACE when the City is destroyed. It’s SO HEARTWRENCHING. Like, you can see his non-belief in the Force get even worse after the destruction.

Krennic’s “It’s beautiful” brought horrified shivers. I can’t find the tumblr post anymore, but the user talked about the importance of art in injustice (or something like that).

Eadu

All Cassian had to do was snipe Krennic while on that ledge instead of angsting over Erso, and the ending of Rogue One would probably have been less soul-destroying.

I do not understand how geography and the passage of time occurs in some of these scenes. Between Jyn being able to cross the valley and climb up that ladder in the period of Orson’s and Galen’s conversation, Cassian getting to Jyn after the platform is bombed, and Jyn and Cassian crossing back to the other side in no time at all, I assume Einstein’s relativity is involved.

I’m trying to decide whether K-2 revealing that Cassian’s rifle was in a sniper configuration was because (a) K-2 has been described as basically being a child and so he doesn’t even think about it, (b) K-2 didn’t know about Draven’s extra orders to Cassian, so he didn’t know it was supposed to be a secret, or (c) K-2 knows that Cassian would really, really regret assassinating Galen (moreso than anything else he did). My strongest option is (b).

We have to give Draven credit: he only sent the Alliance ships because he thought Cassian was probably dead and Galen still needed to be killed. As soon as he heard Rebels were on the platform, he tried to call off the squadron (I mean, if he had heard it was Jyn and not Cassian, he probably wouldn’t have cared, but still).

I knew beforehand that Chirrut and Baze were married, but holy shit are Chirrut and Baze married. Baze’s self-suffering and resigned sigh after the “I have you” quote!

Little detail I liked: Chirrut puffing air into his hand before shooting with the Bow of Death. Combination of “Gimme luck, Force!” and “Gotta warm up my hands before kicking ass.”

Chirrut is definitely Force-sensitive (I have Headcanons about his pre-movie arc), but there’s no way that Baze isn’t even a teeny-tiny little bit Force-sensitive, too. There’s no way a sharpshooter can be THAT accurate from THAT distance THAT accurately in EVERY battle (every single shot hits someone or some ship).

I’m impressed that the movie did not try to beautify death. Galen died in a super awkward position, and I love the realism of it (even if there was a lot less blood than there should have been).

By the end of the scene, Krennic visually confirms to me that the Galen/Krennic ship is actually a completely one-sided infatuation (seriously, read the book. Galen is laughably blase about the dude).

“You willl never win.” = Erso Rebels, two for two.

Lyra/Galen4lyfe

Some fandoms I can ship characters with multiple people.

Rogue One is not one of those fandoms.

Jyn had, like, a 2% chance of actually being alive when the platform was bombed, and Cassian still went after her. He’s got it SO BAD. Like, this is the dude who killed his informant ASAP and who K-2SO was certain enough about that he said “we’ll be leaving without you” re:Chirrut & Baze leaving the ship ten minutes ago in the movie.

Chirrut grabbing Jyn’s hand before the Argument gives me sad feels because it makes me wish that the Jyn+Chirrut+Baze adopted family vibes could have been explored more.

As I said earlier, I don’t think the claims Cassian made against Jyn in their argument had a lot of merit (and I think Jyn knows that, too). But Jyn definitely understands Cassian a lot better after he describes his past, and that’s why she doesn’t dislike/hate him by the time they arrive on Yavin 4. She’s definitely angry and betrayed about his actions/lies, but she now understands why he did them. And I think that’s when she really decided that he was a friend (+ probable realization that this was the second time he had come back for her).

And even though Cassian already feels guilty about almost assassinating Galen, I think his defensive justification took a serious, serious, serious blow not because of Jyn’s words (though that did have an affect), but from the Absolute Overwhelming Disapproval and Disappointment from all the humans on the ship.

Baze is actually really, really hilarious? His tired collapse against the ship’s closed landing platform post-Argument made me burst into inappropriate giggles.

Mustafar

Darth Vader is terrifying.

I wonder if they hired an actual amputee for the reveal of Vader in that cylinder? Or if it’s CGI.

I’ve never really understood the eye-rolls over his “don’t choke on your aspirations” pun. I thought it was a terrifying addition and very apropos . (Though, if you’re familiar with medical terminology, you’d probably get a giggle from it.)

Krennic gets more and more pathetic every scene.

Yavin 4

Now, I know I talked all about the POC-nonhuman parallels above, but I do want to applaud this movie for its POC representation. The Empire, of course, has always been White As White Can Be, but the modern decision to make the Rebels so racially diverse? And to specifically have the Council be so racially diverse? (look at it! I think only Mothma and one other human was white. The rest of the humans were nonwhite!) That was a calculated decision to comment on today’s political climate. Think about it: the leaders of the Rebellion were mainly POC. Yes, they unfortunately did not get as much screentime or lines as Mothma and Draven, but what a wonderful step still.

A council that can only make decisions based on unanimous agreement is a terrible idea with that many people.

Cassian showing up with an entire crew of people = moment Jyn DEFINITELY develops Feelings for him.

This gif is always necessary to post:

Cassian has a lot of sway/respect from the people he was able to recruit, but I’m 100% certain that he basically sang Jyn’s praises during the recruitment process. This is the reason they were so okay with her being the mission leader.

STILL ANNOYED ABOUT THE ZERO WOMEN IN THE ROGUE REBEL GROUP.

The trip to Yavin 4 to Scarif really, really highlights the fact that the entirety of the Rogue One family looks towards Jyn as their leader. Yeah, her speech to the group (”Saw always said carrying a stick...”) was, eh, pretty weak compared to Cassian’s (”Make ten men feel like a hundred!”) (Jyn’s not a great public speaker, ok?), but Cassian constantly defers to her. Speech time? You go first, Jyn. Is it time to blow up the mines? Tell me, Jyn. They ain’t co-leaders, and Cassian’s not a shadow leader. Jyn leads, Cassian is her right hand, and everyone else are her believers. (Remember that at Eadu, Chirrut outright states that Chirrut “follows her,” and I’m already forgetting the exact scenes, but I remember having the impression that Bodhi seemed to constantly look towards her (no surprise considering she’s related to Galen). And Baze’s “little sister”! (why no 500+ hours of these people being family. why.))

The side-eye Jyn gives Bodhi when he decides to call their group “Rogue” is still my favorite funniest moment.

Cassian and K-2SO are my favorite friendship in the crew, but I have to admit that K-2 and Bodhi would have definitely developed a pretty funny bromance if they had survived.

Possible RebelCaptain Kiss Moment 1: on the trip to Scarif

Scarif

Sidenote: this review is so friggin’ long, I’m already forgetting the things I want to say.

Seriously, why didn’t Cassian shoot Krennic on Eadu. WHYYYY

The grabber thing that picks out the data files? Reminds me of the claw game in arcades. I would have completely failed this mission purely because of that.

I didn’t realize this the first time, but Admiral Raddus had left even before the Alliance got news that Rogue One had landed. Raddus just up and went “EH FUCK THE COUNCIL LET’S DO THIS” and he had an ENTIRE NAVY follow him despite the very public refusal by the Council. Standing ovation for this dude.

FEMALE PILOTS!!! SO MANY FEMALE PILOTS!!!

Okay, it’s time for me to sing the praises of Bodhi Rook and Riz Ahmed:

Riz Ahmed deserves all the acting awards. Whitaker is still my fave RO performance, but Ahmed is second. It’s such a subtle transition but WOW.

On Jedha, we meet non-traumatized Bodhi. A little stammery, but he’s being pushed around by the Partisans and no one is listening to him. I’d stammer, too. He’s panicking re:plans, but there’s still steel in him though, a type of confidence.

Then we meet post-tortured Bodhi, and he’s a discombobulated, disjointed, confused mess of a human being. Within the prison cell to his escape outside the mountain, he shows someone whose reaction time is fifty times slower than a non-tortured human being. His dazed look and delayed movements before Cassian pulls him towards the ship is perfect.

Eadu: he’s a nervous wreck. He can’t stop stuttering, even when he’s trying to guide K-2 and Cassian to fly through the rainstorm. He can’t look people in the eye.

To Scarif: still nervous, but becoming more forward.

Scarif: When Cassian tells Bodhi to find a way to communicate beyond the shield: NO FUCKING STUTTER. HE ORDERS THOSE MEN AROUND AS IF HE’S BEEN ORDERING PEOPLE FOR YEARS. REMEMBER THAT HE’S A FUCKING CARGO PILOT. His voice is so firm, so direct, that none of the soldiers hesitate. When Bodhi makes the run to the shuttle with the cable, there’s a cut to a soldier watching him, and it’s after seeing Bodhi run that the soldier stands up again to fire at the Stormtroopers. I think this soldier is also the one that first decides to run to the master switch, too? (Not sure about that one.)

And Bodhi basically orders Admiral Raddus to do shit. An Admiral!

BODHI WILL SAVE HIS FRIENDS. HE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT HIS FRIENDS.

BODHI’S LAST WORDS ARE “THIS IS FOR YOU, GALEN.”

!!!! my heart

“THIS IS FOR YOU, GALEN.”

IF I WERE TO MULTISHIP A RO CHARACTER, IT’D BE GALEN/BODHI.

I just... I love Bodhi’s character arc so mUCh????11!!? And Riz Ahmed was amazing portraying it????

Melshi seems pretty damn cool. Too bad we didn’t hear more from him.

Baze looks SO BETRAYED when his cannon didn’t take down the AT-AT unit.

Baze and Chirrut at Chirrut’s death was so painful and heartbreaking to rewatch. I like to think that the only reason Chirrut didn’t cup Baze’s face in that moment was because he lost the strength to lift his arm higher and that’s why they just held hands. And the only reason Baze didn’t kiss Chirrut’s hand is because of movie industry homophobia :))))) Also, I realized that Chirrut was hoping/thinking Baze would survive because he says, “Look for me in the Force, and you’ll find me.” :(((

BAZE TURNING HIS GAZE BACK TO CHIRRUT’S BODY WHEN THE GRENADE LANDS BROKE ME EVEN MORE THAN HIS RECITAL OF CHIRRUT’S PRAYER. I could almost hear the “I’ll be with you soon, love,” voice-over.

MY HEART

“Climb! Climb!”

MY HEART

Possible RebelCaptain Kiss Moment No. 2: right before they jump onto the center tower.

Jyn and Cassian must have arms of steel, I’m just saying. If the claw thing didn’t trip me up, I’d fail the mission purely because I couldn’t climb more than one row.

Trying to figure out how many stories Cassian fell down. Fics keep saying really high numbers (like 8 or 12), but it didn’t seem like that? Though that just might be because we were watching it from a higher perspective. (I’m not implying Cassian wasn’t severely injured. I cringed every time he struck a beam. I was just wondering how long the fall was.)

If Cassian shooting Krennic on Eadu would have probably changed RO’s ending, do you want to know what would have completely changed the entire original trilogy? SOMEONE SHOOtinG THE FUCDKING SATELLITE DISH. HOW DID NO ONE HIT THAT EVEN BY ACCIDENT.

“You lose.” = completion of “You will never win.” = Erso Rebels, three for three.

So, since we’re nearing the end, I’d like to quickly talk about Descent/Climb (though Fall/Climb is a more catchy term, if less accurate).

If “abandonment/returning” was one of Jyn’s themes, “climb/descent” is another one.

She “falls” every time Krennic is near her: (1) Lah’mu: she descends the ladder into the hideout; (2) Eadu: she nearly falls off the platform after it’s bombed; (3) Scarif: not Jyn, but Cassian-Jyn are basically inseparable by now anyways: Cassian falls at the Citadel; (4) Scarif: Jyn falls when trying to get back to the transmission tower.

She climbs: (1) Lah’mu: towards Saw (unseen); (2): Eadu: to get to her father; (3) Scarif: to get the plans.

Ok, honestly I have no idea/don’t have the energy to figure out what this actually means, but Jyn went up and down too often for it to not have some sort of importance.

Speaking of themes: from Jyn’s perspective, the entire movie is basically a mirror of her life:

Home on Lah’mu.

Lyra abandons her.

Jyn sees Krennic. Lyra shoots him in the shoulder.

Lyra dies.

Galen “abandons” her.

Saw abandons her.

Jedha: Jyn reunites with Saw (and sees that she’s loved). [Cassian comes back for her x1]

Hologram/Eadu: Jyn reunites with her father (and see’s that she’s loved). [Cassian comes back for her x2]

Scarif: Jyn thinks Cassian is dead after his fall.

Jyn sees Krennic. Cassian shoots him in the shoulder.

Cassian comes back for her x3.

Home with Cassian/the beach.

Possible RebelCaptain Kiss Moment 3: Side of the head kiss after Cassian stops Jyn from murdering Krennic.

Possible RebelCaptain Kiss Moment 4: Elevator.

Possible RebelCaptain Kiss Moment 5: Beach.

Don’t know the proper term for it, but the quickly-gradual white-out of the screen as Jyn and Cassian are being burnt to a crisp is one of the most visually stunning moments in the film.

MY HEART.

Ships jumping out of hyperspace: cool.

Star Destroyer slamming into Star Destroyer and hitting that Ring Thing: cooler.

Star Destroyer jumping out of hyperspace and Rebel fleet crashing into it while trying to escape: coolest.

Another detail: the ship that had engaged the Star Destroyer and pushed it into the other one was a suicide run. I mean, I’m sure all the fleet knew that this mission was probably a suicide mission, but that ship in particular knew that what they were about to do was a kamikaze move. Serious bravery.

Darth Vader is fucking terrifying.

CGI Princess Leia would have been less uncanny valley if her nose and her eyes weren’t so far apart vertically.

So, the mission plans were on this big cassette thing. And then they were downloaded onto this tiny disc thing. Does the Alliance have better data storage equipment? Or is it like downloading the jpeg version of a CAD file? These are the important questions, people.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

movie is still amazing and emotionally traumatizing.

god knows how long i’ll be in this fandom. i’m guessing a long, long time. it will never leave my heart even if i visit another one.

every single rogue one family death made me tear up in the theater.

this is fucking long, jesus, i should be spending my time doing other things, like reading Catalyst.

J-Movie Gantz: O (2016)

Disclaimer: I never read/watch the original work of Gantz and my opinion is based on this CGI Movie.

I saw this movie on Netflix last night since I didn’t want to watch (kdrama) Voice. I wasn’t feeling it, so I browsed Netflix and found this movie. Netflix has some semi good selections on J-Movie, including the complete Rurouni Kenshin trilogy if you’re interested :)

I nearly gave up on this movie, but decided to push through and I wasn’t disappointed, but I wasn’t wowed either. The graphics are amazing, but I felt kato’s facial expressions were off compared to the others.

I am re-writing this post since it got waaaay too long.

Gantz is a black orb that that puts you in a game where you fight monsters in real life Japan. All monster attacks are real. Gantz players are people that have died, Gantz decides I guess. But they are still alive and can leave once the game ends (until Gantz call them for the next game). Reika is an idol and her commercial plays in the background.

Kato is on his way home to his brother when he’s killed by a man wielding a knife. He wakes up and finds himself taking part in the game.

Reika, Suzuki and Nishi are part of his team and their objective is to kill a monster boss. They have always been sent to Tokyo.

You have 2 hours to complete the game, any body parts you loose will be restored once you survive the game. The game awards you with points. If you score 100 you get a bonus. 1. Advanced weapons 2. Resurrect a player and 3. leave the game.Once the game ends you can go back home until the next game. In Kato’s case this is his 2nd time playing Gantz. Suzuki and Reika knew, but Suzuki didn’t want to tell him since he would try to resurrect everyone that died. Once you decide to leave the game, your memory is erased. That’s why he knew he had a brother and gave him coins for him to call his brother. I found this part confusing since their background story is not shared by the orb, but then we find out that he already played the game.

The monsters in the game vary and the final boss as well. In the opening the movie had a big horned monster, but in the game Kato played, the final boss transformed around 5 times to reveal the final boss... I guess Gantz decides.

Yamasaki is from the Osaka team and their next game takes place in Osaka. Yamasaki hides from Kato in the beginning making me think that she knew he played the game before and played with his hero complex to secure that he would resurrect her if she dies. She’s 23 and he’s 17. That’s illegal. She has a son and at the end she tells him she likes him and that he should promise that all four of them would live together... this was his reason to resurrect her since he promised her. She promised on your behalf... Kato always helped the civilians, an act that was frowned upon by Gantz players. His weakness for helping others could be seen as heroic, but also what guarantee do you have that Yamasaki won’t die in another game... will he keep resurrecting her?

Some of the Osaka players have advanced weapons and is mentioned that some of them have won bonuses 4-7 times... Why won’t they leave the game? Even though some of them are psychopaths...

Also thank you for the boob in my face... thanks for that.

It wasn’t a bad movie. The monsters were bad ass and that final one was fucking cool! Even though he didn’t answer Kato’s question on why they were killing each other. He transformed around 5 times... ridiculous for a game. How does Gantz expect them to win? All of the Osaka team were wiped out.

Reika was a badass woman in the final scene.She was a bit of a coward, but the sniping she did was badass. Hanging from the ledge with a spear in her shoulder... cool.

Post is still long...

Whitewolf Whitewolf, this is Orcus. Come dance with us boys. Over.

We only do the Waltz. Over.

Classy motherfuckers. Over.

When I’m not doing this. Over and out.

Silverback was a, well, silverback gorilla. His forefathers had been big and scary for ten million years. That wasn’t why he scared the shit out of Cane. Humans were still apex predators after all. What scared the shit out of everyone about Sil was his weapon of choice.

The Railgun M2329, Plasmoid-Multibeam was a crew-served weapon. It weighed about a hundred kilos and usually sat in an APC turret. Silver had his on an exomount and fired it by hand. Pulling the thing up and winking was his version of pounding his chest, except the poor fucker on the wrong end didn’t get the message.

“Ringo, what the fuck are you doing?”

“Vantage point.”

“Get off.”

“Stop monkeying around,” Abel cracked as Ringo jumped for a nearby ledge.

“Sniper, second floor left.”

Sil lifted his cannon, “Copy that.”

There wasn’t a second floor left now. Off to their far right, somebody noticed that Omega wasn’t there only problem. A few rounds kicked up dust to Cane’s front.

“Momma’s little tangos finally figured out what a flank is!”

“I’m so proud.” Ringo snickered, putting a hole through some ballistic shields on a balcony. Sil sounded bored, though.

“Cane, Abel, clear left. Cas up top with Ringo. Rest of you jokers on me.”

Abel was already on the stairs Silver’s first round had left standing, peering down. He looked up in his HUD at Cane and winked. “Fire in the hole.”

A few seconds later the suite below was gone too. “Clear bottom.”

“Hold on.” Abel was fucking around with something on his belt. He held up a grenade and smiled. “Back stairwell.”

“Got it.”

Abel was going to blow away the front of the remaining suites and flush everyone out the rear... where they’d meet Cane.

Sil and the rest of the team were moving a bit aways now, bounding between ruined cars and adjacent buildings while Cas and Rin continued to snipe seemingly at random. Sporadic fire came back at them, but by the regular explosions from the main entrance area, Omega was slaughtering them.

Cane was staring at a young man now. The kid’s friends were all dead and he was blubbering like an idiot.

“Shut the fuck up.” He kept crying about his mother. Cane just punched him. “I don’t have time for this shit.”

He triggered comms, “We’ve got one disabled, my current. A prisoner or something.”

“Hahaha, since when do you take prisoners?”

“Some dumbfuck kid. It’d be like killing a crippled puppy.”

“Going soft bro.”

“Shut the fuck up and get up here, pinkies.”

Casanova and Ringo were on a rooftop now, trying to keep enemy troops pinned. It was tricky. Too much fire and their prey might retreat; too little and they might come rushing out and get killed. Rampart wanted prisoners though, and this was as close to a command center as was left in this bumfuck city.

Whitewolf this is Orcus six, be advised. We spotted a couple dozen making a break through the courtyard in your direction. How copy? Over.

Orcus six this is Whitewolf actual. Solid copy. Thanks for the heads up. Over and out.

Casanova had bounded to the other side while Cane and Abel moved around to a secondary exit on the north face. He was staring down a walkway at a small door from the third floor of the main building now. Ringo was keeping an eye on a little open area nearby. Below, everybody else were spreading out on the second floor. Omega elements had pretty much surrounded the building. The only way out for the twenty or so left inside was southwest, right through Whitewolf. The door creeped open. Bingo.

“Somebody’s coming through up here.”

“Copy that, everyone make your way up.”

“On your mark, Cas,” Rin whispered as the door slid open fully.

“Let’s wait and see.”

A man looked out. When he wasn’t shot, he ran towards Casanova with his head low. It didn’t save him. At the same time, some in the main building exploded. Silver laughed loud over the comms.

Then again, maybe not over comms. A dozen men rushed through the door, the first few firing towards Casanova, a few others back at something in the hallway. They looked ready to shit themselves, and the hysterical gorilla laughter echoing over all the gunfire explained why.

Ringo took one down, but Casanova was feeling wily. Why should Silverback have all the damn fun? He charged forward, roaring. Rounds pinged off his armor and he emptied his magazine before slinging his rifle and going on all fours. There were only three left now, running full tilt at Cas as Whitewolf stopped firing to avoid hitting him. Sil was still laughing and now everyone else was too.

He slammed into the first man and felt his sternum shatter. Before they’d even dropped to the ground, he pulled hard on the poor bastard’s head with both hands, leap-frogging over him. The next guy’s eyes went wide and the one at the rear just froze. Casanova landed hard on wide-eye with all fours and caved his head in, helmet, skull, and all. He turned on the first man who was desperately trying to crawl away and put a foot on his back.

“You’re Colonel Jans... yeah I don’t know how to pronounce your last name,” The man groaned, it had to hurt. “You’re a prisoner now.”

“Please, I surrender too! Please!” He’d forgotten about the third guy. Cas turned around, but apparently the man had forgotten about him too. Sil was standing over the guy with a huge grin.

“You’re our prisoner too, son.”

“Don’t forget about the poor fuck with the nasty concussion somewhere in this mess.”

“Omega got some live ones too. Nice catch with the colonel here.”

“Yeah... sorry about your skeleton, buddy.” The man just groaned again.

Orcus, this is Whitewolf. We need a medic up here. Over.

Yeah... Ringo patched me through. Jesus fucking Christ. Over.

You should see why they were running so fast. Lol.

Dispatching eight with an extra medic. Over.

Copy, seeya soon. Over and out.

Casanova just smiled and cleaned his gauntlets. He loved his job.

Unit Comps: Terran; Marine-Tank-Medivac (vs Zerg, Ling-Bane-Muta specifically)

Remember: This is my journal, so some things may be wrong. I write things down, and I will add edits as I test them out on the ladder. But these are based off pretty good observations, and concrete facts.

The good old Wings of Liberty classic, and a style that I am very used to. And also a style that I absolutely suck at microing, at least against Zerg, which will be the first part of the post (I’ll write the TvT and the TvP parts later).

So the first question - why Marine-Tank-Medivac? Everything we do has to be for a reason. If there is no reason to go MTM, then we shouldn’t...”standard” (not so much anymore, but back then it was) is no reason. I think MTM is still quite viable, though Bio-mine does slightly better.

Well, tanks are TERRIFYING on the ground if they can get set up. They lock down an entire area, and pretty much label it off limits, and if you set up correctly, the position is very, very hard to break. If you push your tank line up far enough, you force the opponent to act (you may be sieging an expansion or something), and usually the act of doing so means you’re in a favorable position, so you already have an advantage over the opponent in that engagement.

The drawback to tanks however, is that they’re very immobile, and that they can’t shoot up. Also they can’t shoot stuff right in front of them. So that’s why we get marines and medivacs. Medivacs allow us to be mobile (kind of, at least with drops...), and with enough, we can even doom drop. They also heal our marines, so that’s chill. Marines are just generally good against everything, and do a shit ton of DPS with 3/3. They also give us high ground sighting.

ADVANTAGES OF MARINE/TANK:

-DPS DPS DPS DPS DPS against just about everything. Marine/tank kills stuff SO fast that it’s ridiculous. -Depending on the map, can lock down certain areas (if we advance up to them), and can split opponents in half -When you’re set up, the clock is in your hands (you put a timer on the opponent to attack) -Very, very, very, very cost efficient - allows you to pool gas for late game units, such as Ravens, BCs, Ghosts, etc. -Scales exponentially with position -Easy to set up (build wise)

DISADVANTAGES OF MARINE/TANK:

-Not terribly mobile -Somewhat micro-intensive -DEAD if unsieged vs banelings -Marines die to banelings -If your marines aren’t in the right place, BAM DEADED -Mutas will fly in and murder your tanks -Most of your army needs to stay together - you can split some of it off, but it’s an I-need-most-of-my-army-for-the-big-fight type army -Infestors will FUCK up marines (like Scott did me on Palodino) -Splash damage is hard to deal with -Weak in the late game vs things like ultras, Brood Lords, and infestors

Now let’s get matchup specific!

VS LING/BANE/MUTA [referred to LBM thereafter] (with accessory units)

The canonical TvZ in Wings of Liberty...I figured I’d elaborate on it since I do like to go Marine/Tank still.

Let’s also talk about what Marine-Tank-Medivac is really, really good at (with maybe liberators, and/or widow mines, but that will depend on economy...and is kind of redundant, I’d rather have more tanks, but the liberators for sure).

So the best part in MTM vs LBM is that the primary DPS for Zerg, the banelings/lings, are melee units, and that we have ranged units. Therefore, in order to reduce damage to oneself, Zergs will necessarily have to make one large charge in, otherwise they are being inefficient. Mutas also have to get kind of up close and personal in order to kill anything (at a whopping 3 range). Marines have 5 range! (In Brood War, we had a +1 range upgrade too LOL).

So Mutalisks necessarily take damage whenever they want to attack marines. Now they also regenerate health, but yeah...first of all, everyone knows to focus down mutalisks, but I’ll just restate it for the sake of being thorough.

So from the obvious observation that Zerg’s units are melee (or short ranged), and that our units are longer ranged, we can then conclude that we can split the battle into two phases: when we are shooting them (and they are not shooting us), and when they have successfully engaged us.

The first obvious deduction is that we must prolong the ranged phase as much as possible. Any terrain, technique, or strategy we can do that aids in this will significantly help our fight. I’m going to list a few things that help tremendously:

A cliff of any sort where the ramps leading up to it are on the side

“Holes” in the map where the lings have to run around, but our tanks can shoot the whole time

Any terrain where the travel distance is longer than the straight-line shooting distance

Stutter stepping marines backward - the Zerglings have to run for a few frames to catch up to the Marines, while stationary marines can continue shooting

Any position where we can shoot them and they cannot run up to us/it’s hard to run up to us

Defensively, buildings to force banelings to break the wall, or for lings to have to break it down or something idk

Splitting up our marines into tiny chunks that travel backwards (but not too spread out linearly - kind of like a soda can is the ideal shape I think), since the ones in the back can protect the ones in the front, and this “elongates the distance” to the marines in the rear

The same can be done with our tank line

So we want to engage Zerg in positions where they have to take any sort of curve, that will optimize our engagement.

Now let’s talk about the second phase of the engagement: when they’re all up on our grill, and we’re trying not to die. Let’s talk about why things suck when they’re all up on our grill:

We’re taking actual damage from lings

Banelings are no fun vs marines if they’re clumped up...or in general.

Tanks are useless when shit gets up close

Splash damage is no fun when tanks are shooting lings near Marines

Mutas do a shit ton of damage, especially to our tankusss

So the idea is that we want as many marines to be shooting at any given moment, and for our guys to “be as far away from the ling-bane” as possible. We want as few of our units to be under attack by Zerg units.

Zerg maximizes their attack by surrounding our units. The reason being that they have more surface area. The more spread out our units are, the more surface area Zerglings have to kill us - but the more clumped our units are, the stronger Baneling hits are.

The answer to this is the classic stutter step that Terrans do backwards - this is good (and I have to elaborate why, so we can perhaps come up with other methods to optimize MTM vs LBM). I think splitting our guys into moderately sized clumps, and stutter stepping them back (preferably into a concave) is a good idea. ONLY STUTTER STEP UNITS THAT ARE BEING HIT BY ZERGLINGS.

AVOID THE SURROUND AT ALL COSTS. Some Zergs will split their armies up and attack from 2 angles, that is very smart of them - so we should deter this by choosing map positions that are not favorable for this, or seeing that they’re spread out and using their out-of-positionness to gain favorable position (more on this later).

Ideally, we’re slightly in front of our tanks (with a few marines behind to protect the tanks), and split into a few clumps - and we stutter step back the ones being hit. The tanks should target down the banelings, or anything that’s not the front line. We occasionally split as needed (depending on how close the banelings get) We’ll just tank muta hits until the ling/bane is mostly dead.

Things that help:

NOT being on creep - this gives our guys “more time not being hit” by lings, since they run slower and stimmed marines are pretty fast

Having space to micro - beginning the engagement from a thin ramp and having it expand

Positions where it is very difficult for Zerg to get a surround (for example, if there was a very long corridor, and you’re sieging a third, it wouldn’t make sense for the Zerg to run all the way to the other side just to engage you - though they might, and you just push a lot more aggressively knowing that half of their army is out of position, and leave a few dudes in the back)

Blocking potential ling paths for surrounds with dudes that also stutter step back

Focus firing banelings because we don’t like those things

High mouse speed/accuracy

A THOR because that just makes it so hard for the mutas to engage

Hotkeying units so that you can rapidly switch between stutter stepping/focus firing

I’ll go into map specific examples, I’m going to sleep, but a few positions where MTM is particularly strong vs LBM:

Newkirk Precinct, outside of the low ground third 3rd next to the main (with the high ground platform next to it). Why this is good: If you siege a few tanks somewhat near the edge, and then a few more along the ridge towards your base, and you have most of your marines near the ramp/at the bottom, this is good. Why?

Tanks can shoot the third

Because the tanks are somewhat on the ledge and not near the ramp, it’s a longer travel distance

Narrow path to wide path (choke that is the ramp)

If Zerg goes for a surround, it’s quite a long path to get around - and the tanks in the back can shoot everything, same with the marines on the high ground

If Zerg does actually bust up the ramp, you can split backwards, since you have a lot of space behind you, and it’s unlikely the Zerg will have units there

Sure, mutas might ruin our day by sniping tanks - just keep a thor/marines near.

Defending from your own high ground platform is really good too...

Bel’shir Vestige, oh god, where to begin? So many good spots.

Will talk more later. I’m tired.

Today: Accessory plays, army movement/positioning, possible unit additions, late/end game transitions, weaknesses to account for, execution concerns

=================================

ACCESSORY PLAYS WITH MARINE/TANK/MEDIVAC VS LING/BANE/MUTA

So now, onto maximizing effectiveness with the Marine/Tank/Medivac - everything I’ve talked about so far has been just about the direct engagement; we will now talk about uses of the units in ways that aren’t just the direct engagement, as well as other cute uses for the features of our core composition.

So the first big thing is drops. Why do we drop? Once again, there has to be a reason for us to do something, otherwise there’s no reason for us to do it. Drops are useful because they allow units to get to a position they otherwise would be unable to, but not so much that, drops shorten the distance we have to travel from point to point in comparison to what our opponents have to travel.

A good instance of this is the third outside the main on Newkirk Precinct. (LOL I love that map so much simply because of that spot is just so strong) Many maps in the current pool actually have that very easily abusable cliff between the third and the main.

What a drop needs to work is a safe path to its destination, as well as the rest of the army being somewhere else. This can happen a few ways; you 1) see that mutas are nowhere near the drop, so you go for it, 2) you see them mutas somewhere else, 3) your drop beings near your army, 4) you see their entire army somewhere else, etc. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THOSE TWO THINGS. The drop doesn’t even have to work - you can use it to bait their army elsewhere.

Another thing that the load/unload function is really useful for on the medivacs are to pick up Marines that maybe look like they’re about to be outrun, picking them up, boosting back, and then dropping them off. The only disadvantage is that you can only drop one unit at a time, so this will sacrifice DPS slightly, but is something to experiment with, especially if we’ve gotten surrounded.

Medivacs on cliffs are super annoying too - siege some tanks under a cliff, drop some marines above it (leave some marines on the low ground too to protect the tanks from mutas), and dart forward, fire some shots, stutter step back, and then load everything up. You get SO much free damage this way, which can usually bait out a bad engage from Zerg. This was a very popular tactic back on the old WoL map Metalopolis, particularly in close-by-air spawn.

A good use for this would be say would be the natural mineral line on abyssal reef...drop some tanks far away and just have some marines poke at the hatch. It looks like it would be the most freaking obnoxious thing ever.

Doom drops are indeed an option...but I always feel really iffy about doom drops with MTM vs LBM, since you might as well just hit the front. Since MTM is so much about positional control, and since doom drops are usually at a location where many central tech structures are located (aka off of the usual push path), then I don’t really see a point for it. It contradicts the point of MTM. (The situation is different, however, in TvT when both players have tanks, and I’ll discuss that in a later post) In short, I don’t see why you’d doom drop as opposed to just going hamburgers and pushing someone to their front.

Hints

How To Look Dead

If you lay down and press Y really fast you will appear not to move to other players. On your screen you’ll be constantly switching weapons but to enemies you’ll just be laying still and most of the time they will walk right past you. Then you can come up and knife them or shoot them or whatever. It works best when you are somewhat hidden so you’re not just in the middle of the map. It also works best with cold-blooded pro so your name doesn’t show up.

Rank Up Fast

To rank up fast turn on two remotes then go to multiplayer and then go to game mode then click on sabotage, after that go to game rules put all the bomb stuff low as it will go. Then press start. Then do the bomb. Then keep on doin the same math over and over and you’ll be ranked up in no time.

The End Of The End?

In the museum pick up any guns you like. Go to the front of the room. At the front of the desk you will see a red alarm. It says don’t push. If you push it everybody in the room will try to kill you. If you survive and kill everyone go to the other room and do the same thing. You can do this as much as you like. Good luck! You are going to need it.

Best Guns For Maps

Believe it or not there is such thing as a bad class if you’re on a bad map to use it! Here is a list of what type of class to use in every single map!

Maps:Afghan - Assault Rifle/Grenade LauncherDerail - SniperEstate - Assault Rifle/Light Machine GunFavela - Assault Rifle/Submachine gunHighrise - SniperInvasion - Riot Shield, yes, riot shield! Karachi - Heavy Machine Gun/Light Machine GunQuarry - Assault Rifle/Submachine gunRundown - Heavymachine gun/Assault RifleRust - Submachine gun/KnifingScrapyard - Submachine gun/KnifingSkidrow - Assault Rifle/Grenade LauncherSubbase - Light Machine gun/SnipingTerminal - Assault Rifle/ Submachine GunUnderpass - Sniping/KnifingWasteland - Assault Rifle/Light Machine Gun/Grenade Launcher

Remember, this is just my recommendation, you can use whatever you feel like. But with these maps, believe it or not, certain classes can be way to your advantage! Hope this helps!

Unlimited Ammo (Without Hacking)

To get unlimited ammo, you have to be at least level 45 because that’s when you unlock 1 Man Army. Create a class with any gun and 1 Man Army. Whenever you run outta ammo, switch classes to the same one you currently have. Your ammo should be full again. When you run out, repeat the process. If you can’t do it a second time, it’s good to have 2 of the same class, but that probably won’t happen.

Intel Locations (part 2)

The Juggernaut

A juggernaut is a soldier with A LOT of armor. It has a metal helmet on and is thickly covered with 85% bullet proof armor. A juggernaut will be holding an M240 with a sight attachment. Shoot him in the head. Best Weapons For Killing One: M240, Barrett 50cal, RPG-7. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

My Favorite Classe

This is one of my many masterpieces. This class includes:

primary weapon: RPDprimary weapon attachment: ACOG scopesecondary weapon: spas 12secondary weapon attachment: gripequipent: semtexspecial grenade: stun/flash (which ever you prefere. I prefer flash)perk one: slight of handperk two: stopping powerperk three: steady aimdeath streak: pain killersname: assult RPD

This is the class I like and use the most. I hope its as useful to you as it was to me.

Easy Steady Aim Pro

First what you have to do it use any sub-machine gun until you unlock the akimbo attachment. Then chose the Steady Aim Perk then just use the akimbo sub-machine gun. Soon you will have the Steady Aim Pro unlocked which is great if you are trying to be a sniper, the pro version of Steady Aim is a longer breath hold duration.

Beast Killstreak Rewards Setup

A good killstreak reward setup, I think is probably the Predator Missle, Precision Airstrike, and Harrier Airstrike. I like it because it’s 5, 6, 7. Or with Hardline, 4, 5, 6. One after another. Oh, don’t do the nuke, unless you are really good. Otherwise you’re just wasting a slot. I only do low ones because they’re easy to get. Then, if you die, get the kills easily again and get the killstreaks. I don’t use the Care Package because there’s a good chance it’ll hold a UAV or Counter or even an EMP which I don’t like or care about. Time to kill guys then kill more guys to victory.

Unboxing Prestige Edition

How To Dive

Technically, it’s not diving, but it seems like it. It is a great way to get away from an enemy when theirs blood all over the screen, or get away from a grenade. First, sprint in forward, then, jump while sprinting. When you’re about to hit the ground, hold down the crouch button and when you are hitting the ground, you will go straight down on your stomach to army crawl.

Juggernaut Crotch Pad

In the museum level at the end of the game, kill the juggernaut and look at his crotch pad, it will say “getcha sum :)”.

Good Way To Get Across Map

In highrise when you go under the helicopter go right toward the edge and you should see one of those window washer things you stand on. Drop on it and follow the ledge, sprint to the second window washer double tap “A” and you should should jump in it, look up and double tap “A” again and you’ll be on the other side.

My Favorite Class

A good Quickscope Noscope Class is:

Knifing Skills

Get a riot sheild and whatever gun you want along with a knife and when you and a friend are playing swithch to your gun lay on the ground and when he comes up to shoot you/knife you through a kniife right in is throught (dramatic effect) good luck.

Highrise Hide Out

When you are playing highrise, right when you respawn if you are in th right building when you walk out were the office desks are, turn to the left (or)right you will see a ladder inside the building climb up it, jump on to the hanging platform and yuo can either stay there or kepp walking and there will be a nother platform accros from it jump on it then lie down you will get lots of kills GOOD LUCK!

Long Live The Campers

The best way that I found to camp was find a spot that isn’t to open (so you wont get flanked) and can see where your enemy is coming from. Use claymores to cover any places that the enemy can get in from. If the claymore doesn’t kill them the sound of it should warn you. The class that you should use is and assault rifle, light machine gun, and snipers (only if you’re really good with one). You must attache a heartbeat sensor. The secondary weapon is your choice. The perks should be scavenger, stopping power and commando. The equipment you should use is claymore, stun gernades. My personal choice is scar-h or ak47 w/heartbeat sensor.

Great Camping Spot On Rundown (lots Of Kills)

This is an awesome place to camp I have gottan an EMP in this spot so enjoy it. First if you spawn on the side with the long building that is linked together you go straight from where you spawned and turn to the right there should be a pile of sandbags with a turret behind them. Climb on the boxes and jump to the wall beside the boxes and then jump over the sandbags. Good Luck.

Out Of Spec. Ops Mission

First you pick up the mp5k from the weapons box. Then, take out all 6 men, including the 2 ghillies. From there, there should be 2 cars on top of each other jump onto them and then jump onto the stack of broken cars. From there, jump onto the metal crate, then onto the yellow car, then onto the blue car. Jump outside of the bushes and you’re out of the map. You can explore the buildings and go into them. These buildings are from the COD 4 mission “ALL GHILLIED UP”.

Drunk Russian

On the level that you have to help the BTR by lazering enemies, at the end you will have to go to a house with an airplane crashed into it. As you go in do not go up the stairs, instead turn right and you will see a Russian solder raiding the fridge. When you get close he will turn around all dizzy. NOTE: he only stay’s dizzy for a few seconds then he start’s shooting at you.

Better Fire Rate For Shotguns

NOTE:to do this, you must have the “slight of hand” perk activated, only works with akimbo Model 1887 (maybe regular, haven’t tried it), and Spas 12 (maybe others, only tried those). This hint is good for close range firefights. For a Spas 12, instead of pumping the gun, reload and it will go faster. It takes a little more work, but the gun will allow you to shoot the next bullet faster, then repeat the process. For the Model akimbo, press X (reload) before you twirl the guns on your fingers. With “slight of hand”, reloading will be faster than pumping or twirling. All you need to remember is before you pump the shotgun (s), press X. If you follow those steps, you’ll be blowin’ multiple brains out in no time.

Easy Museum

When you start the level, pick any gun you want because this glitch will work with anything. DO NOT hit the red button. Once you get your gun, start killing all the characters but one (it doesn’t matter which one). When you only have one character left, hit the red button and kill him. He will be the only one that will come at you because you killed the others.

Best Custom Class For Search & Destroy

Primary-ACR SilencedSecondary-M93 Raffica SilencedPrimary Grenade-ClaymoreSecondary Grenade-Concussion Perk 1-Slight of HandPerk 2-Cold BloodedPerk 3-NinjaDeath Streak-Martydom

This class has helped me out alot and I hope it helps you out to!

NOTE; everything works better with pro perks

ANY DEATH STREAK

Assault Rifle Challenges

These are challenges you can earn with any assault rifle. I will use the M4A1 as an example in the guide where the words “asault rifle” should be, although you can earn these challenges with any assault rifle. *Unlocked after prestiging.

1) M4A1 MarksmanI. Get 10 kills with the M4A1. II. Get 30 kills with the M4A1. III. Get 75 kills with the M4A1. IV. Get 150 kills with the M4A1. V. Get 300 kills with the M4A1. VI. Get 500 kills with the M4A1. VII. Get 750 kills with the M4A1. VIII. Get 1, 000 kills with the M4A1. 2) M4A1 ExpertI. Get 5 headshots with the M4A1. II. Get 15 headshots with the M4A1. III. Get 30 headshots with the M4A1. IV. Get 75 headshots with the M4A1. V. Get 150 headshots with the M4A1. VI. Get 250 headshots with the M4A1. VII.

Get 1, 000 headshots with the M4A1.

Easy Multikill On Wasteland

This is a trick my friend taught me. You need any assault rifle with the grenade launcher attatchment and you need the perk “danger close” on. If you happen to play Domination on Wasteland, choose that class. If you play as Task Force 141, switch to the grenade launcher and line the bottom of the aimer with both objective A, and the power lines hanging above. Shoot the grenade launcher and if there are people there, you should get a multikill. I use it a lot and it works great.

Museum Hiding Place

In the room that you spawn in, at the end of the hallway you should see Gen. Shepherd and Capt. Price in a boat. Pick any two weapons that you like, and head over to the room with the juggernaut in it. Press the button, then run as fast as you can back into the other room. Go all the way to the other side of the room where Price is, go to the back of boat he is in, make sure you are standing in the water, and go prone. You should be able to see through the glass and shoot through it while the people are coming after you. However, they can see you and will try to shoot at you but they can’t shoot through the glass so you will not get hurt. Do not let them get close though because they will shoot over the glass. I hope this works for you.

Noob Tube Weapons

For all you noobs out there (excluding me) the Noob tube weapons and attachments are Scar-H, rifle-mounted grenade launcher, or model 1887 w/ akimbo or fmj.

Thumper On Hornet’s Nest

On the mission “The Hornet’s Nest”, once you get to the intersection before you can see the market, go into the building that is made of red brick, on the bottom floor, in the corner behing the lunch counter, you should find a Thumper grenade launcher. It is the only one I’ve ever found in the game.

A Ghille

A ghille is basiclly a sniper with a good camoflouge. They use grass suits and hide in bushes and in the grass. A ghille is sometimes hard to spot. Be careful.

Help On Rust

On Rust if you go in the little tower in the middle there will be a ladder, climb up the ladder and you have a good sniping spot. You should be aware to put a claymore in the spot where you came up and don’t get shot!

Estate Ceiling

This glitch is simple. Go inside the Estate building. Go upstairs and go ontop of the couch. Run and jump onto the shelf. From there jump up towards the wall. You should be on a ledge. Now that’s the glitch. One time I did the glitch and I got 7 suprise kills. Enjoy!

Easy Nuke On Wasteland

What you will need is a weapon with good firepower and can go long range, (i would prefer putting on a acog) and a Good secondary weapon to get you out of tough situations.

My weapons: Scar-H w/Acog M93 Raffica Akimbo

Preferred Killstreaks for this: Harrier Strike, Pavelow, Tactical Nuke 😉

What you will need to do is run into one of the houses on the left side of the map that are right next to each other and peek around and eliminate anyone in the fields that are running up, and then just camp around the houses until you get a harrier. When you do that put the harrier in the middle by the bunker since EVERYONE goes there. Then once you get your pavelow (because I know you will) Call it and wait. Find a AWESOME hiding spot. Because when I called my harrier I got 13 kills with it, then the pavelow got me 7. So you will most likely get a Nuke. Call it in, Get them Sweet Points. And Do It Again ;).

Hiding Place For Estate

Go in the big house in the middle of the map, go under the staircase, then go all the way to that corner and crouch. You aim between the steps on the staircase and people will walk by you carelessly on your left. ( Best way to come in is from the back where the green house is).

How To Noscope

To noscope its actually pretty easy – all you have to do is put your enemy in the middle of those little four lines then fire it has more accuarcy the closer you get it works best while playing hq.

Faster Quick Scope

Pick a sniper rifle, (perfered intervention or barrett 50 calibur)before you start your match go to your options and go to sensivtivety. Put on high. ( I think if your online you could make a custom sensivtivety which could be very high)Your perks should be sieght of hand pro, stopping power pro, and steady aim pro. Secendary dosent matter (perfed g18 or rafica)throwing knife for gernade and smoke bomb for special gernade. Now get ready to start quick scoping some people.

Quick Scope

When you have any type of sniper rifle, if your clous to somone quickly tap the zoom in button and the fire button right after you press the zoom in button and thats how you quick scope some.

An Easy Way Tto Complete MW2 On Veteran Difficulty

Take your time when going through the game; on veteran this game can become very annoying, but its worth it to get those achievements. At some points in the game there is close quarters fighting and at those points taking your time is when its most important. Don’t let enemies surround you either, sure the allied AI will take some enemies out but they still are stupid let them help you take a target down; use their idiocracy to get out of cover at the worst times to get shot to your advantage. When an allied AI gets out of cover all the enemies shoot at them, thats when YOU take your shots. Also the only way to survive and through is to move up from cover to cover, but be careful where you try to go allies will try to take up some spots so to take use of the best spots play the game on a lower difficulty to analyze the playing area.

Easy Perfectionish Challenge

In order to complete this challenge you need to empty a full sniper rifle clip into your enemies without missing. An easy way to do this is to use the Intervention. It has a small clup making this challenge easier to complete. Just time your shots carefully and you will have this challenge completed in no time and earn yourself some extra experience and a new title.

How To Be A Good Player Online!

1 . If in trouble camp a little bit.

2. Pick good guns-ACR, Scar-H, AK47, or the UMP45 are recommended.

3. Use good snipers-Intervention, or a Barret 50 Caliber.

4. Pick good game modes if you like getting lots of kills I would choose-Domination, or Ground War.

5. If you want lots of points you should play-Demolition, or Head Quarters.

How To Get On Top Of The Sign On Highrise

First, climb that ladder that leads to the top of the little elevator building next to where the bomb is in Search and Destroy. Once you get on top, turn around and you’ll see the sign. Run and jump onto the bars that hold the sign up on the left. Once there, climb on top of the sign.

Another Beast Class

Another class I thought would be good to use is the ACR with the holographic sight and FMJ. For a secondary have the M9 with FMJ and tactical knife. Perks are Bling PRO, Stopping Power regular or PRO, Commando PRO.

How To Get The Fastest Time In Overwatch

First when you start off on the ground are some guns get rid of your assault riffle pick the smallest gun you see It will make you run faster make sure you run with your pistol out. When you get to the edge where the timer starts sprint and count to 5 fast then jump and before you hit the ground make sure you hit the sprint button again keep doing that the whole entire mission make sure you have someone in the ac130 that won’t shoot you and don’t shoot anyone because it will slow you down.

Good Battle Plan On Terminal

This works best in Search and Destroy, so do Search and Destroy. If you get Terminal, be happy. If you are defenders (I think), you start in the back of the map, break the huge panel of glass to the right, go up the escalator, and kill any resistance by Burger Town. Go down the area to the left. Make sure you do all of the steps as fast as you can. You should see some guys around by the red desk and by the thing that leads to the plane. Kill them. They are waiting for people to come outta the plane. I got a headshot on a dude snipin’ by the back desk, because he wasn’t EXPECTING YOU. Then two more kills. One by the desk and one in the plane tube thing. That’s 2, 050 XP in 12 seconds. (The extra 50 because 1 was a longshot).

Contigency With Ease

When Your On the “Perfect Ledge” With captain price right after the predator drone is available use the AMG missile to destroy the BTR before it can get a shot off. Now the predator drone will be available the whole time no need to wait for another one. Use the AMGs to weaken the force near you. Proceed till you see a line of enemy coming between narrow path. Kill them! Dont Go Any Further from there you will see the forces on the other side of that path. Use the AMGs to destroy all them don’t proceed till there is no red square on the predators Camera. Therefore they wont see you so it wont alert them. Now the only people left is the people in side the buildings. There is no time to get to the sub take as long as you want.

Best Way To Get A NUKE

A good way to get a nuke is to have this killstreak setup:

*Harrier Airstrike*Chopper Gunner or AC130*Tactical Nuke

First, a good place to be to do this is in Rundown because it has a lot of small buildings and places to hide in. Try to get to Rundown, and find a small building. Stay in the building and wait for dudes to walk by so you can kill them. Use a Scar-H, some shotgun, and any grenades. Perks are Scavenger so you don’t run outta ammo, Stopping Power, and Commando. Once you get the Harrier, use it, and the bombs will get 1 or 2 kills. Then, you should have around 9 kills. The harrier will get you 5 to 9 or 10 kills. Now you have about 19 kills. Once you get the Chopper Gunner (if you need it), use it. Then, you will probably have a NUKE.

Getting The Nuke Easier

When you get to a map you should get to a building by b until you get your harrier or attack helicopter. When you get that you should move to another place until you get your chopper gunner, AC130, or pave low. Then you should get kills with that up to your Tatical Nuke then you will be Ending the game with a BANG! Weapons to use:

ACR:Silenced

Scar:Silenced

Or Other Weapons

Perks to use:

Scavenger

Stopping power

Any you want I prefer: Ninja

Beast Class Part 5

Take a riot shield and a throwing knife because when a dude’s shooting you, they’ll have to reload. When he reloads, chuck the knife into his throat. (I said throat to add dramatic effect. ) Probably take a machine pistol because that’s kinda like a machine gun. Also, take stuns or smokes, and you can chuck stuns really fast.

Tip In Domination On Highrise

When playing, the place underground is the best because everyone is on the top and some guys try to go underground and you will kill them ( this is when your defending ).

Tip For A Sniper

The tip is mainly for Search and Destroy modes and it is if you have, say a Barret 50 and a Model 1887. When you’re the last one alive, it’s good to pick up and exchange your shotgun, pistol, or so on for a AMG, SMG, or LMG because a pisol ain’t gonna do ya any good against 6 other guys. I hate it when snipers are the last ones alive because chances are, they will die because they don’t have a good close range weapon. So, if you’re a sniper and love sniper rifles, use a machine gun instead of a pistol. Time for snipers to use a machine gun to victory.

Beast Class Setup Part 4

Another beast class setup I think, is if you’re a sniper, use the EBR, the last one you unlock at level 56. Use that because it is good at close range, too. You can shoot it really fast and the the gun doesn’t move and fly around like the Barret 50 cal which shoots stupidly fast. About 1-3 shots and you got a kill. Enough about the EBR. Secondary should be the M93 Raffica because it is like an M16. 3 round bursts. Depending on where you shoot the dude, about 1 burst will do it. Take a tactical insertion so if you find an awesome place, you can go there again. Also take some stuns. Time to snipe your way to victory. (Any perks will work).

Shortcut On Terminal

The shortcut on Terminal map in multiplayer is where you walk down that walkway next to the long row of glass. Break the glass then jump onto the ground next to that building that stairs takes you to. To get on top of the building, you usually have to climb that ladder where the terrorist massacrehappened. Just jump on the box on the far right of the platform you are on and look up. Press A/X (Xbox and PS3) twice and you will be on the building.

Easy Way To Get Good Kill Death Ratio And Level Up On Xbox Live

First get on a team deathmatch on the afghan map, use a class with a good machine gun, go to the mountain of boulders, go onto the side that you can see a path, go behind the rocks on the path and lie down, move out to where you can see the path not the rocks, and when you see people run down the path shoot them a couple times and just wait for more to come and U will get killstreak rewards to kill more of your enemies and lead Ur team to victory!

Easy Way To Get A Record Time On Sniper Fi On Spec Ops And Three Stars On It

To get the three stars on sniper fi and get record time you need to have at least two players ( I don’t know how many people you can have to play on it). To get the record time get the heartbeat sensor machine gun, let your teammate who’s the most violent and who is like a pyro or a crazy person A.K.A a nut get the predator missiles and the claymores, have him/her plant two right in front of the ramp (spacing them a couple feet) and all the way up it and one or two right in front of the ladder, stay behind the boxes on the sides, and don’t waist your sniper ammo ( I forgot to say don’t get rid of your snipers) , and if you can’t find the last couple guys don’t spray your machine gun bullets trying to hit them, just wait for your predator and blow them up, and before you just go and blow everything up warn your teammates so you don’t blow them up, and never be standing, always be crouching ( unless it’s the end of the wave or running to get ammo or to get your teammate (s) but don’t stay up) and always stay on top unless planting the claymores or getting more from down at the back were you can get a shotgun or an AK ( I don’t recommend getting them though and always be vigilant, that means always pay attention to Ur surroundings and Ur enemies position and movement and actions, and the only time you can waist ammo is at the end of your wave and that’s shooting a tanker so it will blow up during the upcoming wave to get some more kills and be careful about the guys on the roof of the building right in front of yous and the guys right in front of your building that are behind the storage crates and instead of shooting them with your sniper, use your machine gun when they’re at close range and never be close to the edge where it is open, and a good place to hide there is on top of the left side crates. To get up there you have to go on the railing in front and to the side of them and jump on top of them and lay down, they are to stupid that it takes them thousands of shots on you to actually hit you a couple times. This applies to veteran to but you probably shouldn’t go on the boxes on veteran. ( and please remember, DO NOT S T A N D U P! ).

Beast Class Part 3

In Beast Class Part 1, I said to have the ACR with the silencer and red dot. I found out that you should have this.

ACR: FMJ, silenced

M10 shot gun: any attachment (s)

The Perks you need are Bling or Bling Pro, the one that makes the bullets are more powerful (first one in the second perks)and Commando Pro.

The ACR isn’t a powerful gun, but with FMJ and the other perk I can’t remember that makes the weapon more powerful, the ACR is a realy great gun. Incredible accuracy, now has good power, great range, great fire rate, and good mobility. Get ready to ACR people to victory.

Beast Class Part 2

A good primary weapon to have is a Scar-H with red dot and the undermounted shotgun. A secondary you should have is the M9 with FMJ and tacticle knife because if you run out of ammo with the Scar, which happens fast, you can have a backup weapon. Also, you will have a shotgun, pistol, and machine gun. The Scar-H is very powerful and very accurate. The M9 shoots fast and is accurate. Carry claymores and stun grenades. The claymore will blow up the enemy and is good for protecting bombs. The stun grenades can stun the enemy so you can easily kill ’em. Surprising, right. Use Bling Pro, Hardline, and Commando Pro. Time to kill your way to victory.

Beast Class Part 1

A good class to have is for a primary, is an ACR with silencer and red dot sight or holographic. The ACR is extremely accurate and is pretty long range even with a silencer. Also, an M1 shotgun with red dot because it has a good fire rate and beastly powerfulness. Carry a semtex just in case you encounter a dude with a riot shield a so you can easily stick ’em. You should also have a smoke grenade so you can run past open areas without the baddies seein’ you. Perks you need are Bling or Bling Pro. If you haven’t unlocked 2 attachments for the ACR, you Slight of Hand Pro. Then use Hardline, so it’s easier to get killstreaks, and Commando Pro. Get ready to use this class to murder the bad guys. Happy killin’ cheaters and kill your way to victory.

Great Place To Put A Sentry Gun On Terminal

A great place to put as sentry gun on Terminal is in that space in the back of plane where the bombs are. (Blow the bombs up first). It’ll be hard to knife it before it wedges 100 bullets per second into the enemy’s flesh. That sentry gun will kill the enemy to your victory.

How To Level Up Fast With This Class.

A good way to level up fast on Xbox Live is to do search and destroy because when you kill a guy, you get 500 XP. When you get a headshot, you get 1000 XP. For planting or defusing bombs, you get 1000 XP. I recommend having an M16A4 because that’s a good long range weapon, and a machine pistol or akimbo Model or Rangers. Those are clode range. Perks you should have are Bling Pro, Hardline, and Commando Pro. But, you need to be a beast player, because when you die, you don’t come back till’ the next round, and you might end up being alone against 6 other players. Here’s to sum up.

Kill: 500Headshot:1000Assist:200Distraction:400Bomb Plant: 1000Bomb Defuse:1000M16A4Shotgun-akimbo or machine pistolBling proHardlineCommando pro

There you go and search then destroy your way to victory.

Good Class 1

M1A1 w/agog scope spaz 12 w/silencer marathon pro hardline pro sit rep pro final stand.

Creepy Russian

On the mission “the Gulag” at the end when you find Price you’ll have to run through the collapsing building. At the part when the tunnel collapses and you have to turn around keep going strait and he will show up, he is hurt and he will not shoot, but he’s still creepy.

Another Beast Sniping Spot On Highrise

When you start out in the game, depending what side you are on, when walk out the walkway leading to the office, you will see a yellow ladder. Usually you can’t climb those kinds of ladders, but here you can. Climb the ladder, and in front of you above the front desk, is a little sealing platform. When you get to the top jump on to the platform, crouch or crawl, and snipe your way to victory.

Skidrow Xbox Live Hiding Spot

When you’re at the forklift room the two forklifts that are put together but have a gap in between, crouch and walk into them and stand up look over the seat and shoot and if you think someone has caught on crouch down and look towards the building right across.

Hiding Places

On Xbox Live hide along hedges or in the grass by laying down. Hide behind cars, boxes, and any object that covers you and the enemy will go right by. Just put the cross hairs on him.

Handguns

The best handguns to use is the usp. 45 and the magnum because “the usp has more shots and its range is really good and the magnum has good damage and range and both weapons is good with the tactical knife”.

Great Class Part 2

Another great class I figured out is to use the Scar-H w/grenade launcher and acog scope and the akimbo models w/fmj because you can kill enemies from a distance with the grenade launcher and from close range with the models. The best perks to use with this class is bling pro, lightweight pro, and scrambler pro. Another thing I figured out with the models is that from mid range, 7 out of 10 times you shoot you will kill your foe because the models have a 8 bullet spread.

Easy Colonel Sanderson Achievement

In the mission Hornets Nest in Act 3 near the end of the level you might see six cages of chickens near a wall. All you have to do is throw a grenade at it aim at another cage with a chicken and after the grenade explodes shoot the chicken you are aiming at. You might get the achievement, if not, try again.

Great Class Setup Part1

A great class I figured out was in any map you should use a rod or m240 and a magnum. These are the two strongest classes I think would help eliminate enemy playersRpd w/magnum bling, hardline, scramblerM240 w/desert eagle marathon, featherweight, scrambler.

Hiding Hints

Hide in a building of some sort really good 9 out of 10 times someone will come then come out there will probably be another guy coming so take him out run in the direction the other guy went to 5 out of 10 times he will be close so be careful shoot the guy and keep on doing that after you get tired of doing that shoot a guy in the head if there is a guy following him you will get an achievement the hint may very on any mode.

Model 1887

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 in the mission takedownwhen you go throw the red house were you have to fine Rojasthe front door a guy will try and hit you with his gun and he has the model 1887 shotgun.

Museum Steal

When you beat the whole game go to the museum mission, and you will have a handgun. Go to any of the museum exhibits and just shoot any person (don’t worry they wont shoot back) and take there gun. You can use that gun against them (hit the red button at the desk but the exhibits will come alive and with the weapon you took).

Intel Locations (part 1)

How To Get Ten_ Foot-mobiles Achievement

Museum Button

When you beat the whole game, go to the museum. When you just start the mission go straight ahead to the desk. There will be a round red thing. Go too it. It will say do not press. Hold x down and then everyone that was a statue will now start killing you. The only way to survive is too go into another exhibit or try killing. I tried killing them and survived! Hope you can too!

A Juggernaut

A juggernaut is an enemy that has a lot of armor and a medal white head, you will encounter him on the mission The Enemy of my Enemy, usually after you jump of the plane and slide off the mountain, the juggernaut is really difficult to kill if you are not using high caliber weapons and a much easier way is to throw grenades at him. Oh you should also try head shots.

How To Get Two Attachments On A Gun

To get two attachments you need to level up to level 21, then go to create a class and choose Bling under perk 1. It will pop up with attachments for your primary gun (or if bling is upgraded both primary and secondary). All you need to do then is choose your two attachments.

Museum Mission

After completing the game it’s time to have some real fun. Go to the single player missions and select the “Museum” mission. After you check out the layout, grab 2 weapons and make sure to top off the ammunition from the crates around you. You will see some rooms (3 in total), outside the rooms are desks by the entrance with red bells on them marked “Don’t Press” (which of course your going to press. Lol) DON’T shoot anyone before pressing the button! Of the 3 rooms only 2 will see action. Once you press the red bell button every imaginable game character will come out to attack you. Choose a difficulty level and action will be seen one room at a time. Keep killing the enemy until you hear a sound, that will mark the end of the current wave of action. You must complete 2 waves of kills (approx 30 people each) to complete this level.

Glitches

Grandma Glitch

First go to underpass then go to the bridge then go to the left you will see a house make sure you have a pistol shoot the door once in the top left corner of the door, then twice in the top right corner, then three times in th bottom left side, then in the bottom right hand corner shoot it four times, finally shoot it a whole bunch in the middle, then a grandma will come out say something go back inside and come back out with a machine and kills you! Anywhere you go she still kills you (This won’t work online)ENJOY! Please comment.

ColdBlooded Pro Glitch

First make a class with a LMG or light machine gun then put on scavenger or extended mags. When you see a helicopter or pave low come into the game, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT shoot it with a one hit kill bazooka – shoot it down with your LMG. It will start to spin in flames, and after it starts spinning shoot it with as many bullets as you can. Every bullet than you put into it counts as a different helicopter: Enjoy!

Museum Glitch

You have to beat the game in order to get the museum, but once you do go to the very last room and at the end you will see a bunch of people one of them is in a big suit so go next to the and they should start moving and the guy in the bigh suit punches they guy next to him, so when they all freeze throw a grenade at the guy who got beat up (but you have to actually hit him with it like go up to him and hit him with it), once you do that he should fly up in the air all wild. Have fun.

Glitch On The Mission Whiskey Hotel

First, you have to be on Act 3. Go to the mission whiskey hotel. Then when you’re a quarter through the mission there’s three guys that wont see you. Sgt. Foley or Cpl. Dun will say do not fire on enemy personnel. Right when they say it, you kill all three of them. Then, go straight ahead and there will be some other enemies. You kill them before your teammates get to you. Then keep going straight ahead and forget your team for about the whole mission. Then kill all of the bad guys you see. Finally, this will allow you to glitch on the mission whiskey hotel. (Glitch means like you can go 1,000 meters in the air).

Ghost Museum Glitch

When you unlock the museum, go into the first exhibit room and go over to where Ghost and Captain McTavish are in the favela. Kill everyone but Ghost. Stand next to the red barrel and he should talk through the radio for about 3 minutes. Then, if you’re standing on the right side of the barrel, he should point in your direction.

Sgt. Foley Museum Glitch

To unlock the museum you have to complete the campaign on any difficulty. When you start the mission, go into the first room you see. Turn to the left and go to the next exhibit and kill everyone but Sgt. Foley. Stand there and watch him for a few seconds and then he should walk out of the exhibit, look at you, and he looks like he’s talking to you but the noise isnt coming through. After he is done talking, he should turn around and try to walk through the wall for some reason. I think its kind of funny and I hope you do too.

Highrise Glitch 1

To go out of radar and map surveillance go to the side of the building with all of the cranes, then you will see a small building with two elevators, go to the left side of the little building where you will see a ladder, climb up it, you will see a plat form right to your left, jump on to it then walk up to the crane and jump onto it, then go all the way to the left and jump on either one of the railings, finally walk up the thin railing going diagonally up and stand on the square in the middle of the crane now nobody can detect you.

A Glitch For Whiskey Hotel

When you go into the West Wing the hallway beyond that there is a glass door right before you go into the presidents speech area, you break all the glass that’s breakable. You then crouch down and you can pass right through the door. The next thing with the glitch is the tall hedge before the fire on the pillar. Then the barbed wire, and that’s as far as you can go.

Spec Ops Glitch On Terminal

The mission starts downstairs and will work on any difficulty. Take out all the starting bad guys on the ground floor and the ones that run to you from upstairs. As you go up the escalator stay on the outside rail NOT the middle of the stairs, jump over the rail at the top. Surprise! NO bad guys at all! Resupply yourself with ammo and claymores if needed. As you get to the other side where the down escalators are then the buy guys come back in force. This takes out 10-15 bad guys and makes the mission easier. Enjoy!
