✩°｡⋆⸜ 🎧✮ Last Night on Earth : Green Day
Playful bantering was one of the things you and Tom would do everyday in your relationship.
Sure, serious arguments would rise up which a simple kiss and genuine apology would quickly fix.
However those two won't do it right now.
"The hell do you mean I have trust issues?!"
"What?! It's true! Your ex cheated on you so you're scared to trust me; It's not like I'm gonna do what that guy did!"
Definitely, Tom shouldn't have brought your ex up who has no relation to this quarrel.
He knew how much of a prick he was to you and how he treated you; he even witnessed how devastated you were when you once came to him to seek comfort when you found out for the second time he had been cheating.
And he knew damn well you never wanna hear about the jerk ever again.
However, you did appreciate him admitting he wouldn't repeat the history you had with your past lover.
"The fuck, Tom? That bitch has no connection whatsoever about what we're fighting about right now.
And I saw the way you looked at her! It's like, if I didn't interrupt you both would've shared spits by then." enraged by what he said; you raised your voice to match his volume - which was unlike you since you're the composed one out of you two during serious arguments.
"Sorry but he kinda does! This issue you're having surely started with him. I remember the way you wasted your snot and tears on him and I dried it off.
And please stop being overdramatic, she's just a fan and I wanted to make sure she's happy. Not only with her; I mean with everyone of them!"
Tom tried hard to defend himself instead of admitting his wrongdoing.
"You are such an ass for bringing that shit up again when you know damn well your ass had issues too that I helped you get over with and all I've ever done was try my greatest to understand and care for you!
All I ever wanted was for you to stop looking at other people and look at me.. Am I asking for too much?" your voice whispered in offence and slightly croaked which made you resent yourself more.
Tom realized with wide eyes of what he had done,
"No, no of course not ____. No, look- I'm really sorry for what I said, I really am and-"
"Just shut the hell up, Tom. Save it, I don't wanna hear it right now." you harshly brushed past him to storm off to your apartment's bedroom in fear of hot tears falling down to your cheeks.
He sighed; ashamed in himself. Tom truly regrets letting those harsh and unnecessary words slip his blunt mouth. He knew he was better than this - definitely, he should control his mouth more and think about what he should say carefully during times like this.
The night spent alone in the bed you'd always share with Tom felt cruel.
Not for the reason he's not by your side; it's rather the fact that you're in bed without properly making up with him since you'd always forgive one another the same day.
A big part of you wanted to forgive him - believe that he truly didn't mean what he told you and only accidentally slipped because of the heat in the moment; that we all say things we don't mean when we're mad, and that he really wouldn't stab you on the back with a woman like your past lover did.
The smaller part of you scolded for being such an idiot; for believing a man would stay loyal - that you should call it off before he could do any further damage.
Honestly, you felt devastated just thinking about not being with him; so you eventually came into terms with yourself that the fire will settle down and you'll forgive him and he'll do better.
Don't know when it'll die down but it will. Hopefully soon.
Some relationships are worth fighting for, like you have with Tom.
Hence you will stay strong and prepare for many wars.
But tonight; you wanted and allowed yourself to fall asleep being upset and disappointed at Tom.
You'll let tomorrow do its thing.
✮✮✮
It was the next day and the back of your head was pounding alongside a stiff neck.
You sat up and glanced at the digital clock placed on your night table that read 11:37 AM.
After stretching your limbs out while reminiscing the night before; you decided it's time to wash your face and start making lunch for yourself.
When you turned the knob and pushed it open; you were greeted with the aroma of your favourite dish; one that was always served to you as a child when you still lived with your family - one that you shared its recipe and process with your lover.
"Tom?" you asked in disbelief. You were certain he had left since your ears picked up the sound of the front door being pushed open then close in the middle of the night.
Certainty assured your mind that you'd rather not see his face first thing in the morning after such a night. Boy, were you wrong.
Your lover turned his head quickly; unaware of your presence since he's so caught up finishing, as well as perfecting the dish.
"Oh- love, you're awake. I um.. made breakfast but you didn't get up and it's uh, it's almost time for lunch so I thought I'd make your favourite." he stumbled over his words; which is bizarre.
"The pancakes are on the table, you can eat them later as a snack."
You nodded your head with a tight lipped smile and mumbled a thanks before heading to the bathroom.
Once the door had shut; you quickly drowned your face with water to remove the image of Tom cooking without a shirt on.
It's not like it's the first time you've seen him like that; but the way you're reacting right now is how you feel when you catch him in these types of situations - preferably without the post-fight shit going.
After peeing, washing your hands, brushing your teeth washing and drying your face, and doing your skin care - you forced yourself to go back outside for you cannot stay in the bathroom forever.
When you opened and closed the baby blue painted door; your eyes wandered off to the table and drooled at the sight of the newly cooked meal.
Tom patted the seat beside him with a smile; gesturing you to sit beside him.
You had no choice but to join him for lunch; after all, you are starving.
Instead of giving in to his request, you sat in front of him.
Instead of painting a frown on his lips; he still kept his genuinely proud smile (from cooking such a delicious dish) and handed you your plate and utensils - to which you accepted.
"Let's eat?" Tom asked.
"I don't wanna eat without talking about last night." you said with a straight face.
The man in front of you softly breathed a sigh,
"You're right." he agreed with a nod
"I'll start by saying I'm really sorry, and I didn't mean what I said. I just want you to know I would never even dare to think about betraying you like that, and I was an ass for what I did." Tom seemed to look everywhere but your eyes.
He couldn't bring himself to look at your mesmerizing hues for he was certain his shredded heart would be turned into dust.
"I don't even know why I said those things, I- I know this sounds like bullshit but I swear I really don't mean those things and you're the only person who I have my eyes on.
Please give me another chance I- I'll be better now, promise!" he trailed off and fearfully continued;
"But y'know if uh.. if you don't and wanna call it o-"
"Shut up Tom we're not breaking up." you sighed
"I know you said those to defend what you did, and it slipped out because of the heat of the moment. We all say shit we don't mean when mad, I understand. But what I don't understand is why you'd caress her cheek and look into her eyes like that?" your eyes examined his facial expressions and only saw genuine regret on his face. You hoped he'd look at your eyes and tell you directly why.
Hence, before his ready mouth started to explain; you tell him, "Tom, look into my eyes, please."
You caught the way the ball of his throat bopped up and down; swallowing his saliva. His eyes slowly trailed up from the table to your chest, neck, chin, nose, then eyes.
"She said she'd been a fan since the very beginning of the band's debut. She loved all us a lot, especially me. I asked her if meeting us was a dream come true, she said yeah, and we talked a bit more. Then she asked me to touch her face because she really couldn't believe that it was all happening, which I did."
Tom would look away from the two windows of your soul for a second before meeting again.
He was replied with silence; which kind of scared him.
"____? Please say something."
"For God's sake Tom, why didn't you just start with that last night when I brought it up?"
Tom rapidly blinked once, twice, thrice, then for the fourth time. "... I must've forgot to bring it up because I was so caught up in the moment."
You laughed; a true one, "You mean too focused into bringing my ex up?"
He was speechless by how just a second ago you were dead ass serious, and now crying laughing at what you said.
"Sorry, I'm done laughing now." you giggled before continuing, "Fine, I'll forgive you if you tell me where you went last night."
"I went back to my apartment and did some thinking how to make it up to you and slept there. I went out really early to buy groceries so i can cook your favourite food here."
It was your turn to be speechless.
"...You seriously did that?" you asked with doubt in your voice.
"Yeah, I mean the proof is on the table." Tom chuckled.
You said nothing and finally dug into the 5 star looking meal, soon your lover did as well.
"Sooo, are we good?" Tom hopefully asked after sipping his water from the cylinder glass.
"I guess so." you blessed him with a small smile to which he returned with a big one.
Conversation flowed naturally between you as you ate the savoury food.
If Tom didn't make it as a famous guitarist, he'd definitely be a winner in Hell's Kitchen.
After Tom cleaned put the dishes to the sink; you insisted to wash it since he cooked. He declined numerous times but it wasn't going anywhere since you're more stubborn than him.
"All right, fine. Only if you let me hug you from behind." Tom made a deal.
"Pshh, why're you asking as if you don't do that whenever I do shit in the kitchen?"
Tom rolled his eyes with a smirk drawn on his lips as a reply and proceeded to snake his large hands to your waist; then pressing his chest to your back and resting his chin on the crown of your head.
Nothing could be heard other than the clanking of pans, plates, and utensils, along with the flow of the running water from the faucet.
The comfortable verbal silence and physical contact was very much needed after a fight.
After drying your hands with a cloth; you walked towards the couch and sat with your boyfriend still embracing you from behind.
"What do you wanna watch?" you turned your head to the side to look up at his face.
"Whatever you want, I'm fine with anything." Tom looked down to your eyes, then lips.
Slowly, he leaned his fave closer to yours so he could taste your lips.
Once contact had been made; you couldn't help but melt even more to his touch and wrap your arms around his neck - and he couldn't help but deepen the kiss and caress your waist and back.
Soon enough, the passionate kiss had come to an end to catch their breaths.
"I love you so much. You know that, right?" Tom stared into her hues as the tip of their noses touched.
You slowly nodded and brought your hands up to his hollow cheeks, "I love you more." you said before pulling his face closer to kiss each other's lips once again.
Tom mumbled in-between the kisses, "I love you the most, sweetheart." before deepening it. His tongue soon entered your mouth and both your hands rubbed and caressed your bodies.
The hot post-fight make out session would last as long as half the length of the movie you played in the middle of the session; playing Atonement for the millionth time from your entire life.
After pulling your mouths away due to your jaws hurting; you slept and cuddled like babies.
Feeling the safest in each other's arms.

Chapter 3
For the past couple of days, a smile had been plastered on (Y/N)’s face. The nightly phone calls with Jake had started growing longer, even though they didn’t have much more to talk about. But his voice was a comforting embrace during Bella’s tortured screams. As time passed, the girl just seemed to get worse.
As Christmas day finally approached, Charlie and (Y/N) thought she’d be happier. At least just a bit better. It had always been a cheery holiday regardless of their familial situation. Renée made sure that the girls woke up to presents under the tree and spare cookies “Santa” had left behind. Even if Bella never said she liked the theatrics of it all, (Y/N) could tell she enjoyed the thought that went into it. Those were moments the younger Swan was sure would overshadow whatever black cloud that was hanging over her.
Granted, she had no way of knowing how deeply in love Bella was with this Edward character. In less than a year, he was able to cause more damage than their parent’s separation had ever been able to, and she had been devastated – for a bit.
“Hey, Bells,” (Y/N) tiptoed into her room. Much like every other day, she sat on her office chair staring into the endlessness of the woods behind our house. “I was gonna wrap up some presents for tomorrow. Mind if I do it in here for a bit of company?”
A grunt of agreement.
(Y/N) rolled her eyes as she placed everything on the bed, unloading the unnecessary amount of presents in her arms. “You know, Uncle Billy invited us over to spend Christmas with him and Jake. Dad is gonna try to put on a barbecue in this snow,” she chuckled, and she could have sworn she had heard the skin on her cheeks creak up into a smile. “I still remember when we were little, and he tried so hard to light the barbecue during a blizzard. And the wind just kept blowing the flame off. He was so pissed and packed the steaks away.
But, yeah, I’ve never understood why they like meat so much. I mean we’re in freezing weather and he still wants to do a cookout.”
“Just be thankful there’s something he can cook,” she croaked out. (Y/N) almost leaped off the bed when she heard the sound. But treating her like a wild animal was the best route – no sudden sounds or movements. “And that you eat meat.”
“Right, the vegetarian thing. I mean, I can make you anything, so you don’t feel left out.” (Y/N) softly prodded around the situation, maybe she could catch her sister in a moment where she’d finally agree to leave her bedroom. “I’m sure everyone would be more than delighted if you were there.”
“I’m not going, (Y/N),” Bella whispered. Her shoulders slumped once more and all the liveliness that (Y/N) could have sworn had returned to her body, dissipated in a breath.
“Come on, Bella,” she complained. “You need to leave the house for another place other than school and the Newton’s store. You were broken up with, you’re not dead.”
Bella’s body morphed back into the statue-like position she rested in most of her days. Her sights were once again frozen on the window, searching for something – someone – that simply was not there. (Y/N) had joked to their dad that they should throw the chair away while she was at school, but as each day passed it seemed like more of a possibility.
“Fine, Bells,” she sighed and gathered all her things. “You know, this guy must have been heaven on earth, cause no one’s worth this much pain.”
It’s difficult to pull someone from a hole they created for themselves. Bella was stuck deep in this hole, but she was making no effort to get out of it, regardless of how many people were trying to help her. (Y/N) found it almost baffling how many people cared for her sister, but she only cared for the one guy that left her to rot.
The girl finished wrapping the rest of the presents in her room before starting a quick dinner for her father and herself, knowing Bella would most likely not eat anything, like every other night. (Y/N) knew her irritation was visible. She loved her sister, but her behavior was starting to become unbearable. A couple of more months of this and she was sure she’d go insane. It had been four months and, as time passed, she seemed to be getting worse rather than better. It was exhausting.
After finishing up a pot of spaghetti and meat sauce, (Y/N) left a plate served inside the microwave and a note on the fridge for her dad. She was far too exhausted to clean up and left all the dirty dishes in the sink. Dad could clean it, she thought. Instead, she went up the stairs and plopped onto her bed, allowing the warm comforter and the pillow to pull her into a deep sleep.
But before she could truly succumb to slumber, her phone rang. Jacob’s name lit up the screen, and under the words, “come outside” were displayed. Instantly, a smile spread across the girl’s face. If there was anyone that could put her out of my sour mood, it would be him.
Running out the door, she put on her boots and wrapped a jacket around her body. She was met with the visual of Jacob in his truck wearing a devilish grin on his face. He reached over and opened the passenger door for (Y/N) and beaconed her inside. Trying to avoid spending more time in the cold she jumped into the truck, sighing contentedly as warmth engulfed her.
“Hey,” he smiled. Jacob leaned over the center console, placing one hand on her cheek and pulling her toward him before placing a kiss on her lips. “Couldn’t wait until tomorrow to see you.”
“I noticed,” she chuckled shyly. There was no reason for her to still be nervous around him, but she simply couldn’t help the butterflies in her stomach. What she didn’t know at the time was that the butterflies were a warning. “I’m glad you couldn’t wait.”
“Were you able to convince Bella to come?”
“I tried,” she sighed. “There’s just no getting through to her right now.”
“Man, that Cullen bastard really did a number on her.” She could see the anger coming from Jacob. It was like a burning aura that surrounded him. His teeth were gritted, and his hands had closed into a tight fist. “Where does he get off abandoning her like that? If I were him, I would have never let her go. She doesn’t deserve that.”
That had stung. (Y/N) knew he was probably not over his silly crush on Bella, but to mention being with her while being with (Y/N), hurt. But she knew she couldn’t bring that up without causing a fight. “Can we please not talk about that,” the girl said instead. “I feel like my life has become Bella Swan’s Days of our Lives.”
“Yeah, sorry,” he laughed awkwardly. “You know, something weird happened the other day.”
“What happened?”
“You remember that guy that was staring at you at the bonfire a couple of days ago?”
“Paul something?”
“Lahote, yeah,” he corrected. “He came over and told me I should stay away from you. Did something happen there?”
He was... jealous? The question came out of nowhere. (Y/N) thought she had been clear that she had never met him before seeing him that night, and that she wanted nothing to do with him. Although ever since that night she could not get his addictive stare out of her head. When she closed her eyes at night, even if she started by thinking of Jake, her brain couldn’t help but dissolve into his piercing brown gaze. Her head would not shake the image of the boy from it.
“Jake, I already told you that you have nothing to worry about there,” she smiled at him in an attempt to subdue his anger. “I don’t know who this Paul guy thinks he is, but I am not interested in him in the slightest.”
“It’s just, the gall this guy has to think he has some kind of claim over you. As if he doesn’t know who you are to me.”
“What am I to you exactly?” she teased. They had yet to have any conversation about where this relationship was headed. It had been such a short amount of time, but they had known each other for a lifetime. "I would like to know."
“Well, I’m hoping you’d like to be my girlfriend,” he grinned, any sign of anger disappearing. “What do you say?”
“I don’t know,” (Y/N) giggled coyly. “Maybe I should keep my options open just in case Paul decides to ask me out. Wouldn’t want to close out the market.”
“You’re funny.”
He leaned in once more for a kiss, but this one was different. Jake scooched closer to (Y/N), doing his best to deepen it. She ran her fingers through his long hair as his hands rested on the sides of her face. This was desperate and passionate, just the thing to push Paul Lahote out of her mind.
As the windows started fogging and their hands started traveling south, a knock on the window startled the teenagers apart.
“I really hope that’s not you, Jacob Black, with my daughter,” Charlie spoke through the fogged-up window, flashlight in hand.
Jake flashed her an apologetic smile before rolling down the window on his side. "Hey, sheriff. How’s your night been?”
“Well, it was a very uneventful one at first,” he grumbled. “Until I came home, and I saw your truck with misty windows and my daughter in the passenger seat. Hi, (Y/N).”
“He~ey, dad.” She gave him a small wave and covered her reddened face with her hands. “We were just talking.”
“Last time I checked talking doesn’t fog up windows, honey,” her father countered. “Let’s go, (Y/N). Jacob, get home.”
She jumped out of the truck after squeezing Jake’s hand as reassurance and joined her father’s side. Promptly, he pushed her behind him, acting as a barrier between Jacob and the girl.
“We’ll see you tomorrow, Jacob.”
“Alright, Mr. Swan,” he responded. She could tell he was swallowing the laughter that had bubbled in his throat and was threatening to spill. “Bye, (Y/N).”
“See you, Jake.”
“Get in the house, (Y/N).”
Her father’s reaction was perplexing. He’d always liked Jake. He even joked when they were little that they would make a cute couple. Now, he was acting as if he’d caught her with a dangerous stranger. She wondered if he’d reacted this way when Bella first brought Edward around.
“What was that spectacle outside, (Y/N)?” Charlie finally broke the silence, fuming. “What exactly did you think you were doing?”
“Um, I was kissing my boyfriend,” she responded matter-of-factly. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
“Boyfriend? Since when is Jacob Black your boyfriend?”
“As of five minutes ago, roughly?” She was trying to liven the mood adding a tone of comedy, but she could tell her father was having none of it. “I don’t get why you’re so upset, dad. You’ve always loved Jake.”
“I’ve already got one heartbroken daughter,” he sighed. Charlie rubbed his temples, hiding the fear in his face. “I don’t know what I would do if both of you were. Jake’s a good kid but I could never forgive him if he hurt you, honey.”
“Let’s not get ahead of this, dad,” she chuckled dryly. (Y/N) had faith in her relationship, but she couldn’t help the doubt that crept into her head when her dad mentioned Jake breaking her heart. “We literally just became official. You’re ending us before we’ve even started. One thing I can tell you is that I won’t be like Bella.”
“Sweetheart, you don’t know that. I just don’t want to see you in the same pain your sister is going through.”
“Dad, I understand you’re worried,” she smiled at her father. To calm him, (Y/N) grabbed his calloused hands and gave them a squeeze. “But I am not Bella, and Jacob is not Edward. Have a little faith in me, yeah?”
“I can’t help it, (Y/N),” Charlie said. “It kills me to see Bella like this. I don’t want you to go through that.”
“I know, and I promise you that you will never have to go through this again with me,” she said. “Now, why don’t you go eat and go to bed? We have a long day tomorrow.”
“Alright, darling,” he responded defeated. “Good night.”
“Good night, dad.”
(Y/N) disappeared up the stairs, passing by her sister’s room. She mumbled a good night to her stoic sister before finally getting into her bed to hopefully sleep this time. She wanted to rest. Yet, when she closed her eyes the same ones that had been haunting her dreams stared back.
Something about him called to her. She only knew his name and still, he took possession of her thoughts. Deep inside her, something begged her to get closer to him. There was no reason for him to be in her head, much less in her dreams.
She was standing in a clearing, looking over a still river. Her body was clothed in a white flowing dress and her feet were bare. (Y/N) turned, taking in the scenery and breathing the fresh air. The sun felt warm against her skin, beckoning a smile to her face.
“You look beautiful, darling,” a voice spoke. “Absolutely radiant.”
“Thank you, Paul. And you look as handsome as ever,” she giggled. “Come here.”
He walked slowly to her, a playful grin propped on his face. His arms circled her waist and wrapped her in a tight hug, lifting her from the ground and spinning her around. As he slid her back to the ground, he placed a hand on her cheek, his thumb running through her cheek. (Y/N) closed her eyes and enjoyed the touch, his warmth feeling better than the one the sun provided.
She felt different with him. Unlike with Jake, Paul didn’t make her feel butterflies. He made her feel calm, at peace. There was a homely feeling to being in his arms. Like she had found the right place to be in. She fit perfectly between them like she was made to be there.
(Y/N) allowed him to pull her toward the water, sinking into the comfortable river. She gave him a smile and shrieked happily as the coldness seeped through her bones. Her white dress quickly soaked and his denim shorts darkened.
“This water is freezing, Paul,” she whispered to him. He kept her close, his arms wrapped around her. “Don’t you dare let go.”
“I would never, beautiful,” he grinned. (Y/N) could feel his breath tickling her face, cooling the droplets of water that had splashed on it “I’ve got you now, and I’m never planning on letting you go.”
“Is that a threat?” she joked, copying the smile on his face.
“It’s a promise, darling,” Paul said. “It’s a promise.”
He closed the space between them and pressed their lips together. (Y/N) felt sparks running through her body, the feeling of belonging washing over her. This is where she was meant to be. He was who she was meant to be with.
“I love you, (Y/N).”
“I love you more, Paul.”
(Y/N) woke up with a startle, her breathing uneven and heavy. Her whole body was overheated. Her blanket felt too warm. She didn’t understand what that dream meant. More importantly, why it felt so real. She knew she loved Jake, and she didn’t even know Paul. What pull did he have on her that she kept dreaming of him?
She got up from her bed, going downstairs to get a cup of water. She was startled when she found her sister staring at the sink, the faucet running, and an overfilled glass under it. (Y/N) ran to the sink, turning off the water and putting a rag on her sister’s hand to soak up the water that had run down her arm.
“What’re you doing, Bells?” (Y/N) muttered.
“S-sorry,” Bella stammered finally realizing what she had done. “I didn’t realize.”
“It’s okay,” she sighed. “Why don’t you sit and drink that water? Have you had anything to eat? I can make you a quick sandwich.”
“Uh, sure,” the girl breathed out. “I, uh, overheard you and Charlie.”
“Oh?”
“You two are together?” Bella questioned. (Y/N) was surprised that her sister seemed interested in her life. Rarely was the time she inquired in (Y/N)’s life. “I didn’t know you liked him.”
“You’ve never asked,” she chuckled dryly. “But we’ve just been talking these past few days. Most we’ve done is kiss a few times. Tonight, he asked me to be his girlfriend.”
“Well, that’s nice.” (Y/N) placed a cheese sandwich before her, and Bella started picking at it and placing small bites into her mouth. “I always thought… never mind.”
“What, Bells? What did you always think?” She knew what her sister was thinking. Bella had always known Jake liked him. If she didn’t, she at least had to have an inkling. “That he liked you?”
“I thought so…”
“Well, maybe he did,” she sighed. “But that’s neither here nor there. He’s with me now, and that’s that.”
(Y/N) got up from the dinner table, leaving Bella by herself. She had no idea where that conversation was going, and she didn’t want to see where it would go. Her whole life she’d been second to Bella. To their parents, their friends – though, they wouldn’t notice – to Jake. This was the first time she felt she was being put first, and Bella wasn’t going to take it from her. Not this time. As much as she loved her sister, it was time to put herself first.

With both Danhausen and Ethan Page recently announcing they're openly booking indie shows because they want the opportunity to wrestle, can we please have a conversation about how few people on AEW's roster get to actually do things and what a crying shame it is for everyone involved??
More under the cut so I don't clog the dash
At least when they used to run Dark/Dark Elevation and upload them to youtube it meant fans could see their favourites wrestle even if they weren't getting Dynamite time, some people were Dark staples and it gave wrestlers a great space to develop and show their skill as well as being a way for fans to form attachments to people on the roster not getting as much TV screentime
It's so disheartening talking to non-AEW wrestling fans who are curious about the company and telling them about your favourite wrestlers, then having to give match recommendations from the indies to check out because most of the talent on the roster is lucky if they get more than 5 matches a year on AEW (especially if you're after more than squashes and huge multi-person matches where they're spacefillers for the people who are the Actual Focus)
Not everyone can be the top talent, I get that. AEW just seems to use mostly the same people regardless of if they're the A-list or bottom of the card, which means the rare opportunities we get to see other people means those wrestlers have to try and win over the audience every time because they get forgotten and have no opportunity to build momentum or fan support, let alone tell any kind of story. It's sad watching someone from the roster finally get some TV time again only for most fans to go "who are they" about someone who's been with the company for ages
It also means that when injuries happen and multiple fan favourites who were getting more screentime aren't able to wrestle, there's less people who can step up and fill that void because fans aren't able to easily form a connection with the majority of the roster because you have to actively make an effort to seek them out. I watch everything AEW put out, and still there's people on the roster I barely know. For people who watch everything televised they're still missing out because of online only clips that never get shown to the majority of the AEW audience, there's so many great promos that make me really excited about a particular wrestler that most people never get to see in action. Anyone who is only tuning in to one show a week has no hope of connecting with the wider roster
When I got into AEW, I decided to start watching the live stuff as it aired and simultaneously rewatch everything AEW put out from the beginning until I'd caught up, but realistically most people don't have the time to do that. Unfortunately, doing this is the only way I've seen most of the roster do anything! It sucks as a fan to wait for a card announcement knowing your favourites aren't gonna be on it because they never are, and it sucks just as much for the wrestlers. Becoming All Elite should be an incredible opportunity to reach a wider audience, to show people what you can do and it's a shame for the fans and the roster that for most people that isn't happening. It's damaging the company and it sucks the enthusiasm out of your fanbase and your wrestlers
I miss Dark/Dark Elevation. I want to see everyone get an opportunity to make me love them, make me hate them, impress me with what makes them unique. AEW right now is at a point where if you dislike certain people/factions and aren't interested in watching those specific matches/promos, if they're some of the people getting major screentime you might as well not bother with half the shows because they're going to be there constantly. I say this as someone who has very few things in AEW that for me personally have go away heat, but look at the reaction to when we have to endure yet another 10 minute Callis promo... All I see is "free X wrestler from this storyline" or "this could've been a women's match." I'm sure there must be people out there who love it, but I don't personally know anyone who actually enjoys it, which is one of the major downsides of giving a huge platform to specific people with slots on Dynamite and Collision, while making everyone else fight for scraps. Seeing people you love constantly getting passed over in favour of the same people every time makes people bitter, and not just the audience at home. Fans deserve better and so do the wrestlers
I will say as an aside, thank you RJ City for doing SO much heavy lifting with Hey! EW to allow wrestlers a chance to showcase their personality and give fans a chance to connect with people who maybe aren't getting the opportunity to reach an audience on AEW programming. Every single episode of that show makes me have a more positive opinion of the wrestler featured than I had going in and someone I didn't care about has won me over on more than one occasion, I sincerely hope it continues so we can eventually see the entire roster on there

ok fine so like preface just wanna say this isn't really a critique on Wyll specifically. his patron and whatnot at least has some contextual reasons to make sense in this game on the sorta devil side of the plot and I'm also like only barely starting act 2 of the game so I have not seen where his whole story is going. this isn't a Wyll specific thing and more just like the general way Warlocks are handled in dnd media that I've experienced
because when it comes to dnd I am absolutely a warlock apologist. Its my favorite fucking class and I will fight anyone to the death who argues that it's only good as a multiclass option because it is one the classes that has the MOST rp fodder built into it and its so versatile. if you're a minmaxer who just wants to make the biggest explosion or do the most damage yeah you're probably not gonna like it. but if you wanna be forced to fuck around with magic in creative ways (and even use weapons while being a caster) and have your backstory be important to everything about your character, then its warlock all fucking day baby.
but I find fiend warlocks just so fucking boring.
not because they have to be inherently boring but because that's for whatever reason the only kind of warlock that exists to everyone involved in making dnd related media. like I swear every time its just "someone made a deal with a devil and it turned out to be bad!" like come oooon. Doctor Faustus was written in the 1500s, we can be more creative than that.
and yes, examining the fucked up power dynamics between a warlock and their patron is great! but we know a devil is bad when we make a deal with them! there's arch fey, eldritch beings, even fucking celestials as patron options in dnd that are at the very least morally indiscernible and sometimes outright good that are like much more interesting moral and ethical storylines to go down. for instance, why a morally good celestial might turn to some freak willing to make a deal with them to get something accomplished rather than, say, a cleric.
like I love warlocks. the potential to get messy and fucked up with it is just soooo ripe no matter which direction you go. but GOD. why do we just always go down the same "deals with devils are bad!" storyline over and over again.
#I would genuinely be much more interesting in a fiend warlock that just flipped the dynamic entirely#or like if the warlock clearly didn't hate the situation at the very least#and even outside of fiends warlocks#half the time its still like 'We have to free this poor warlock from their pact!'#like I swear no one will just commit to being a fucked up little freak.

There are rumors about Mix showing up later in OF and that he sleeps with Sand (are they exes?) and presumably there's a triangle storyline with them and Ray, so I don't think Sand and Ray are escaping the messiness. Ray's also going to confess to Mew at some point, that's a given, and rewatching the series trailer, most of the scenes in it are from early on, and it doesn't actually show all that much. We may think we see where it's going, but I think we're in for a lot that's surprising and unexpected.
Oh, man, Ray and Sand are gonna be one of the biggest messes here. I absolutely know that and have tried to be clear that I know how messy they are and how much I want their happy ending but don't expect it.
Sand and Ray are a disaster waiting for happen. Ray is a needy, damaged, hurt and achingly lonely rich boy who fell in love with a friend who looks down on him for all of that but wraps that disdain in a veneer of caring and kindness and that hooked Ray entirely while Sand is a much more street smart young man just trying to hold his life together without much to his name and without much to do besides work. They are not made for each other and the feelings they have and grow and discover are going to hurt so much.
No matter if we get exes or what happens, they were always going to be a messy. Sand is trying to be realistic and trying to watch himself, he knows he's playing with fire not just by starting to feel sympathy for Ray and fucking him but also because he knows Ray's brand and loneliness and drinking and fucking and that emotions are gonna be a tangled web that he doesn't have the time or energy to deal with, frankly.
Everyone in this show is gonna be a mess and I accepted that by choosing to watch the show.
I do think that Ray will confess to Mew but I think Mew will turn him down with a bit of disdain but also fairly gently because Mew sees that as a chance to keep using Ray. He might even give him the tiniest hint of false hope just to keep him around longer. But who knows? Maybe Mew will accept Ray's confession to make Top jealous, depending on when it happens. Will Mew start playing their games with each other or will he stick to looking down his nose at the mess around him? Can't say for sure, I don't know!
Anyway, all I expect here are messes and nothing good to ever happen but we'll see. Sorry, sorry, i'm trying to be cynical because I refuse to let myself actually hope for anything.

This may be a controversial opinion, and please don’t hate me for this, but I don’t ship Ed and Izzy. For one reason and one reason only. They are toxic, they have proven themselves to be
The abuse those two have suffered from each other, both physically and emotionally is to much
Ed is the reason Izzy no longer has a leg. Ed has cut off multiple of his toes and forced him to eat them. Ed ordered him to be killed. Ed left him with a gun knowing full well he’d try to kill himself. Ed tried to kill him and the entire crew.
Izzy made Ed feel that he wasn’t enough. He made him feel as though his true self wasn’t worthy of love. Izzy came to him when he was most vulnerable, and essentially told him he wasn’t enough. He idolised Blackbeard, and that’s who he wanted back. When Ed was starting to open up, to allow himself to feel vulnerable, Izzy tried to manipulate him into killing Stede. When Izzy didn’t get what he wanted, he sold them out to the British, not caring about the repercussions as long as he had Blackbeard back.
The ease at which these two manipulate each other is not a at all healthy.
There is damage that has been done between them that can not be fixed. Maybe they can rebuild some sort of relationship. But they will never truly trust each other again. They will never feel safe enough to be truly vulnerable around each other
And as for Stedyhands. Ed and Stede have chosen each other over Izzy multiple times, he will always feel like the odd man out. The spare tire, and that’s not healthy for anyone.
That is not to say I don’t want to see a polycule relationship, because I most definitely do, but there are so many other characters with great potential for that storyline, that kind of relationship. One where everyone involved is an equal.
This also not to say I don’t like Izzy, cause I don’t I fucking love that man. He’s such a complex character and Con does such a good job as Izzy it’s amazing
They have shown they care about each other, that they have love for each other, whether romantic or not. I’m just saying is I don’t think romance is healthy dynamic for him or Ed.
I am also not denying that Stede and Ed don’t have their issues, and things may never be the way they were before. They have a lot of issues to work through. But they are still able to feel safe with each other, and I think that’s important. They may be able to repair enough of the damage where they’ll be able to trust each other again. But the amount of trauma Izzy and Ed have experienced at each other’s expense is immense, and it may not be possible to repair.
Now this is just my personal opinion on this. I may be way off. If you ship Steddyhands, wear that proudly. I’m just saying I don’t, and this is why.
That being said I really want to see polycule relationships in this show, I’ve never seen that represented on tv before, and I am all for it!
But whatever way the story goes, I’m gonna love it just the same!

Paste Magazine: Going back to the fan reaction to Season 1, a second season seemed assured. But then major management and content shifts were happening at WBDiscovery and Max, which delayed the pick-up. When you finally did get the Season 2 order, did you fundamentally change your thoughts about the story you wanted to tell?
David Jenkins: No. I think they’ve been a dream to work with. Every time I’ve made something, there’s been major corporate upheaval and I am starting to think that every time anybody makes something, particularly now, there’s major corporate upheaval. The first season of this television show took place in one era. The second took place in still another era that has since ended. And if there was going to be a third season, it would take place in an entirely new era.Throughout it all, we’ve had the same execs. Suzanna Makkos has been with the show for both of those seasons and they’ve been nothing but supportive.
In terms of us in the [writers’] room, we just try to mind our own business, and make sure we can pay for everything.
Paste: As the season has progressed, have you been surprised by the audience’s reaction to any particular story lines?
Jenkins: Well, I’m not trying not to be as plugged in as I was in the first season. I’m just trying to let it have its own life. But I love how excited everybody was about Izzy (Con O’Neill) singing. Everyone wants the full “La Vie en Rose” recording from Con, which is beautiful.
I love that Ed and Stede getting together and having sex was not a titanic explosion. It was more like, “Of course they’re gonna have sex. They’re together, so that beat is gonna happen.” And I love the general acceptance of Buttons (Ewen Bremner) turning into a bird, which is the most ludicrous story point.
Paste: Our Flag Means Death has such a passionate LGBTQ fandom and that audience has been burnt many times before with promised “ships” that have ended badly, or with the painful “bury your gays” trope. Going into “Mermen,” this fandom was sweating with anxiety, but you gifted them a love letter. Did their expectations feel especially weighty when writing the finale?
Jenkins: It felt like the opposite, and the wind was in our sails. We could fully go into these storylines with all of these different characters and [know] people are invested in all of these relationships. Doing things when we’re writing that excite us and guessing—most of the time, correctly—that fans will love it is a great feeling. The thing we’re trying to do, in the room, is [ask]: do we like it, does it surprise us, and does it feel exciting? And the room has a spectrum of sexualities, so it’s just making sure that, “Hey, we doin’ okay? Does everybody feel good about what we’re putting out there?”
When you have a show, you run the Deathstar, essentially. You’re shooting this beam out into the culture, that if you aren’t paying attention, you could do a lot of damage. I think particularly for this season, that “bury your gays” thing… I didn’t want to end on a downbeat for Ed and Stede. We did that in the first season. I like that there’s a lot of different flavors. It’s even a little melancholy because the Republic of Pirates got blown up. But there’s still more good things.
Paste: In the breaking of the season, how much changed while plotting out the season to the finale?
Jenkins: I wanted to start at the Republic of Pirates this season and end at the Republic of Pirates. And I knew I wanted the Republic of Pirates to be destroyed, ultimately. Within that, we are making a one-hour show on a half hour budget, on a half hour schedule. The questions then become: if we have a bar fight, and you have everyone fight, how big can we make it? And if we have everything blow up, how much can we blow up? Or if we have a fight, how big of a fight and what parts of the fight can you actually show? It’s about making something that felt like it had some heft and size to it. In the room, talking through it, as a showrunner I’m thinking, “Oh, man, we’re gonna put these department heads through hell. They’re gonna have to work so hard.” You already feel bad.
Paste: That beach battle with Ed, Zheng, and Stede fighting in parallel with the moving cameras was impressive.
Jenkins: It was the entire team working so well together when everybody’s fried by the end of the season. Like you hand the script to [costume designer] Gypsy Taylor and she sees that she has to come up with 200 English uniforms. She blanches, but then she nails it. And it’s an amazing team across the board. I think we all pull together because we like it. We want it to feel epic.
Paste: Was there much debate about any particular story line for the finale?
Jenkins: In terms of ending this season, it all felt right just in talking through it when we were in the room. It felt pretty intuitive. When you get to the third act of the story, things kind of settle in. There’s gonna be a funeral. We always knew we wanted a wedding at the end of the second season. And I knew that I wanted Stede and Ed to start an inn together. So once you have those beats, it’s kind of locked in. But I wasn’t prepared for the emotional weight that I feel when the crew sails off together and the parents are watching from the inn. It’s just lovely.
Paste: Speaking of that funeral, Con O’Neill played Izzy’s journey across two seasons so beautifully. When did it come to you that his last words to Ed about just being himself were going to have such an impact?
Jenkins: It’s kind of a strange arc in that I knew we were going to put him through all these things, and I knew he would ultimately die. But I think him becoming a father figure to Ed in the last episode didn’t really dawn on us until we were breaking the last episode. Asking what would this man say to Ed at the end because they’ve been together through everything? He went from a troubled and downtrodden employee to a jilted lover to a discarded employee, to someone that is just trying to find his footing again—no pun intended—to actually becoming this guy’s parental figure on some level. And he’s one person who kind of raised Ed right, because Blackbeard usually kills his parental figures. So, it felt right and it felt like that’s how the mentor dies. The mentor in a story usually dies in the second act and then our hero has to go on and try to do it without them. It felt like the right journey for Izzy and a gratifying one for Condon.
Paste: OFMD doesn’t have a third season pick-up yet, so it’s a difficult feat for writers to thread the needle in a finale that gives audiences closure but also leaves enough story to continue.
Jenkins: I don’t think it was a very hard thing to do. I think it was more that I felt a responsibility to leave Ed and Stede in a good place, at least for now. It’s not gonna go well. They’re not going to run a business well. Ed’s too much of a talker. Stede can’t focus. It’s gonna be challenging.
Paste: So you have more stories to tell?
Jenkins: For a third season, I have a clear idea of the way through that so it will be good, big, and interesting. But not too big, Max.

ATTITUDE || 017
well, everything is still awesome guys. :D *breaks down into tears*
some shit actually goes down here like oh my god PUT Y’ALL SEATBELTS ON!!!!
i actually had a lot of fun writing the match….THERE’S A LIL TREAT IN THERE FOR U GUYS TOO! also i keep referring to stone cold as “austin” because of reader kinda using it as “respect” but idk might just start calling him steve so it’s easier—
You’re the last person to come out to the ring. It was a pretty quiet entrance, not that you minded. They skipped out on your music this time..
Everyone is settling in their corner and you just stick nearby Trish, who was standing on the ring apron. You reach up your hand to give her a high five and she quickly returns it.
Hopefully that one fan wouldn’t be so upset you’re kicking it with Trish. But she’s gotta understand it’s Vince McMahon we’re talking about here! He’s gonna go down and you were going to ensure that happened.
“You guys are gonna do great!” You yell. The Rock gives you a nod and Trish beams a smile down at you. They then give you the World Championship and Women’s title to hold onto.
Jeez, those two were definitely a strange pairing…..on both sides.
The bell rings, signifying that the match has officially begun. You were too busy admiring the gold to even notice Kurt and The Rock trading blows.
Both of these titles were beautiful! If they gave you an opportunity to go after either of them, you’d take them no question. Even if they didn’t let you compete for the World Championship, you’d find a way damn it. Make it into a storyline, what have you. You were going to take the titles one way or another.
It looks like Kurt had gotten the best of The Rock for a while, throwing him into the turn buckle and chopping him across the chest.
Just because you could, you wrap the World Champion around your waist, trying it on. Not bad!
‘That young lady is trying on the title!’ JR says. ‘What’s going on through that head of hers?’
Jerry shrugs. ‘I dunno, but I think we should start opening up the mental hospital! Does she think she can really wear that?’
‘She’s obviously putting it on, King.’
“It looks nice on you!” Trish turns down to stare at you. “Trying on my title next?”
“Maybe! Focus on your match!” You point back to the ring, where The Rock finally gets the upper hand by clotheslining Kurt and bringing him back into a Samoan drop after he got up.
You walk over towards commentary and hand the belts over to one of the staff members.
The Rock tries to go for the pin, but Vince quickly breaks it up. You clap your hands. “C’mon Rocky!!”
Though The Rock had recovered, it’s starting to look like Kurt was really going over in this match. It was easy for the Olympic Hero to bounce him off the ropes and into a suplex. To make things worse, he immediately tags Vince into the match.
Kurt holds The Rock by his arms, allowing Vince to hit him in the face with hard strikes. The two double teamed him and the referee was getting on them for it. You boo as Kurt switched back out to the apron.
Vince smiles seeing The Rock worn out. He’s 100% sure he’s got this in the bag too. So much so, he walks over towards Trish and begins to taunt her.
The second she retorts, he reaches his hand out and pie faces her off the apron…and she lands right on you. The crowd gasps, some fans sitting nearby the guardrail stand up to see you two crash on the ground.
Jerry shrieks, and JR just couldn’t believe what he just saw. ‘Oh my god! Mr. McMahon just knocked Trish right into [Name]!!’
It was collateral damage! Vince’s shock turns into a smile. He turns right back to The Rock and jumps on him to punch him again.
You groan in pain and Trish rolls off of you. “Are you—ow…okay??” She asks, shifting her body to lean on the guardrail.
Even though you gave her a thumbs up, your words contradicted. “Ack—…..that shit hurt!” Her colliding with you was nearly on par with her damn near breaking your nose. It’s always something with Trish.
You’re still trying to recover on the floor when Trish crawls back up to the apron, holding her hand out for a tag. She was about to give Vince what for!
The Rock hesitantly tags her in, switching places on the apron as well. While she’s beating the hell out of Vince, The Rock looks down at you.
“You good?!”
You couldn’t hide the surprise on your face. It’s safe to say you didn’t even know he’d ask. Well, it looked like a pretty hard collision after all.
“Yup. Don’t worry!” You reassure. “Don’t worry about me!”
The Rock nods, leaving you be for now and hopping back up into the apron in order to distract the referee once more. Smart enough, he even attempted to use your “injury” as leverage at first. Trish lifts Vince’s legs up and stomps him right in the nuts, as he deserves.
Despite your suffering still being disoriented, you raise your hands up to clap weakly. Vince’s nose is bleeding, which brings a biiig smile to your face.
The Rock distracts the referee for far too long, allowing Kurt to come into the ring and knock Trish in the back of her head.
“REF!!! HEY!!!!“ You scream, trying to bring his attention back to Trish. “That was illegal!”
Kurt comes over to the ropes and chews you out, mocking your tone of voice. “ThAt wAs iLlEgAl!!!”
You throw both middle fingers up at him in response and the crowd goes wild. Like father, like daughter, truly. Because you weren’t a competitor, he couldn’t put his hands on you or he’d risk being disqualified.
He waves you off and returns to the ropes to get tagged in by Vince. Now he’s in the ring with Trish, who struggles to reach The Rock for a tag. It was a cheap shot, but you hope she can recover.
Kurt leans down to grab her hair, turning over to The Rock to taunt him. Trish is able to use this to her advantage, using her arm to give him a lowblow. He falls over and she crawls over to The Rock for a hot tag.
That was good! You’re really finding some enjoyment in this match, especially when The Rock comes in on fire, he gets Kurt into the corner, striking him as many times as possible.
He’s laying the Smackdown on Kurt! He pulls him out to the center of the ring to kick him and hit him with a DDT, he tries to pin him but Kurt kicks out at 2, much to the crowd’s chagrin.
Both men get up (Kurt being slower than The Rock), and attempt to irish whip each other, but it ends up with the latter slamming into the referee.
Referee’s down! And somehow Kurt catches The Rock in an Olympic Slam. Now both men are down again, for good.
This isn’t looking too hot, you notice Vince coming down the steps, but someone bumping into you on the way to the ring makes you look up.
NO WAY…No way. The crowd feels the same as you! It’s Jericho, who jumps on the ropes for a moonsault onto The Rock. “Son of a bitch!” He yells.
He slides back out of the ring but before he could leave over the guard rail, you grab his arm and spin him over so you can slap him as hard as you could.
Jericho almost loses his footing, but recovers to look at you with a smile. He’s not going to attack you this time. There’s more than enough time for him to do it at Vengeance instead. “You slap like a grandma!”
“I hate you!” You scream. “GO AWAY!!”
He just laughs, jumping over the guardrail and retreating into the crowd as Kurt Angle pins The Rock. It’s a very close call, but he luckily kicks out just in time.
To your right, you see Vince pull Trish down by her leg. It’s just one thing after another, but you’re here to defend Trish. The CEO is about to get a slap of his own!
“Hey! Back up!” You yell at him. Trish immediately hides behind you for a moment, slowly backing up and tripping over the steps behind her. She’s terrified, rightfully so.
You would be scared shitless too if Vince was coming towards you in wrestling gear! You’re trying to hold him off long enough for the referee to get up, but Trish decides to make a run for it, heading up the ramp.
You throw your arms out in confusion, watching her as she runs right up. “WAIT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING….TRISH??!! DON’T GO—“
….She’s already outta there. That woman needs to be in track or something.
Most importantly, The Rock’s just lost his partner thanks to Vince.
“…Are you kidding me?!” Before you could come over and try to kick him in the shin, Ric Flair’s music plays, causing you to stop in your tracks.
You forgot he’s here again.
Something that’s been on your mind was how him being business partners with Vince would work out, though. Very weird investment he made, but to each their own, you guess.
You remember when him and Eric Bischoff were going at it, so maybe it’d be the same as that?
“WOOO!” He yells, marching along the stage. “I want more action! More excitement! I’ve been watching you guys go at it, and then WHAM! Trish Stratus bailed out!!“
Ric was jittering like crazy. Either he had a ton of coffee or the man was nuts. Truth be told, you’re convinced he’s nuts. He better be careful before he passes out or something….
‘If it wasn’t for that big bully, Trish wouldn’t have ran away so quickly!’ Jr grumbled. ‘[Name] was just about to give him what he deserves!’
Ric’s raspy voice continues on. “…I’m gonna make things interesting! I’m sure you don’t mind, business partner!!” Vince and Kurt look up in confusion. “[Name] will be competing in place of Trish Stratus for the rest of the match, WOOO!”
Wait, what?!
Literally, you and everyone else in the entire arena, were taken aback. No one told you that you were going to perform! You’re not even in the right gear.
Actually, if Torrie and Stacy could wrestle in heels, then maybe you could go in what you had on. You weren’t entirely against the idea either, just confused. Guess this is one way to shake things up and it’s another way to ruffle Vince’s feathers.
‘[Name] is going to compete in place of Trish?! Is that allowed?!’ Jerry asks in shock.
‘Ric Flair’s the co-owner….whatever he says, goes! Business is about to pick up!!’ JR responds.
And that’s that. Ric Flair leaves you guys to it. Guess you were really doing this for real. You hop on the apron, wary about even participating.
If The Rock tagged you in, you’ll give either Kurt or Vince a run for their money. The crowd behind you excitedly cheers.
No one really expected you to get that kind of reaction merely at the sight of you wrestling. Especially Vince (who knew about your rising popularity), as he looked around the arena.
They really liked you, huh?? You’re a check……and he feels like it’s about time to cash out.
The sound of the crowd cheering yet again makes you turn towards the front.
Wait….is that who you think it is?!
Your eyes don’t deceive you as you see the Rattlesnake make his way down, focusing his attention on Vince. Referee’s still trying to recover, so he doesn’t entirely see Austin’s interference. While he was handling him, you felt like it would be a good time to attack Kurt.
You hold out your hand for a tag. The Rock hadn’t seen it at first, landing a suplex instead. He turns around towards you. “You want in?!”
You nod. “Of course!” Once he hits his palm against yours, you jump into the ring. You turn on your heel to wave to the crowd before turning back around. You jump and plant your knees into Kurt’s midsection, then roll forward and backflip, shoving your knees back again.
‘Slamming the knees right into his midsection! Beautiful Insult to Injury!’ JR compliments.
Once you land on your feet, the crowd cheers. You drop down to try and pin him but he kicks out at two.
At least he’s got his wish, now he could fight you as much as he wanted! Too bad he’s losing though. You kick him a few times, but Kurt eventually catches your foot. He attempts to flip you over but you’re able to catch yourself before you hit the mat.
‘Do you think [Name] can last against Kurt Angle?!’ Jerry asks. ‘I mean, he’s already got the upper hand!’
JR thinks about it for a moment. ‘It’ll be a tough fight, but if we’ve known anything about her precious matches, it’s that she can hold her own.’
You’re trying your best. You bring Kurt up and attempt to irish whip him into the corner, which he reverses and sends you straight into the turnbuckle.
The wind’s knocked out of you, but as he runs over, you quickly lift your knees up and Kurt smashes right into them, stumbling backwards. You’d like to call it an impromptu Meteora, but it’s just something to keep him at bay.
Coming forward, you put him into a headlock and run further across the mat to give him a bulldog. Standing up and dusting your hands off, you make your fingers in the shape of an ‘L’ and put it on your forehead.
Austin comes around towards the ring, motioning you to bring him over. You pull Kurt up from the ground and irish whip him towards the ropes, where he turns around so that Austin can jump up and rope-hung his head off the ropes.
Kurt stumbles back and you’re ready to give him the greatest gift of a lifetime, a reward much larger than those golden medals could ever give him, a 201 Facebreaker. You can see the cameras flash as you do it, which brings a smile to your face.
Before Kurt can fall to the ground he stumbles backwards and The Rock quickly jumps in the ring to give him the Rock Bottom. You can see all the cameras flash again.
This match was definitely over. You immediately fall down to pin him.
The referee slowly crawls over and starts to hit his hand against the mat. Vince does his best to try and pull you off of him, but he’s far too late.
“1! 2! 3!”
The bell rings, and you roll off of Kurt. What a match. It was short, but you still enjoyed participating in it. The loud roar of the crowd couldn’t even let you think for a moment. The sound even overpowered your theme!
“Here are your winners, [Name] and The Rock!!”
The Rock comes over and helps you to stand, then holds your arm up.
JR was the most hype over this win. ‘Can you believe it?! With Stone Cold’s assist, [Name] and The Rock win it! Vince McMahon has got to kiss The Rock’s ass on Smackdown!!’
One of the staff members hand you both titles and you pass the World Championship to The Rock. You’re left holding the Women’s Championship. You look at it in your hands and you start to feel unsure if you should give it back to Trish once you hit backstage.
Though you felt unsure, you slowly raise it, the crowd cheering you on. Trish simply had to understand….
There was never enough room on this stage for the both of you.
You quickly look up towards the front and point at Austin with a smile. You always knew he was on The Rock’s side!
Vince just looks between you two in shock, and The Rock slings his title on his shoulder with a smile.
You reap what you sow.
BACKSTAGE // 9:30 PM
What a match. Everything about it was perfect, magnificent! You love wrestling, you really do. Even if you feel pretty sore, there’s nothing you’d love more than to….
“Raven!” You chime, quickly running into his arms. You jump and wrap both your legs around him while you gave him a hug.
Well, no, that’s wrong. You loved Raven more than wrestling. More than anything in the world.
“…Evening.” He greets. He’s as cordial as ever, but you’re incredibly excited to even see him. So much so, you lean in and give him a kiss.
He kisses back, but quickly separates from you. “Vengeance.” He pauses for a moment after mentioning the pay-per-view.. “….I find it difficult to hide our blossoming intimacy. It’s time to show the WWF that you belong to me. I’ll be coming with you.”
How wonderful!! This was your first appearance with him. “Really?!” You ask with a smile.
He nods. “I know of your issues. Torrie Wilson will pay for her deceit.” If even Raven was supporting you, then you felt better about this rumored match. “Tonight, you did a good job. I’m expecting you to do as good here at Vengeance.”
You’d make Raven proud, 100%. You nod your head in excitement.
“Hope you’re not too mad at me for our earlier escapade.” Raven slides his hand under your shirt.
“Not at all.” You say, putting your hand over his. “Will you make it up to me?”
He looks around for a moment. “Don’t suppose you’re suggesting I finish what I started right here in this hallway? Man, you’re a bad girl.”
The baddest, of course! Alas, it’s way too dangerous to even try and you refused to end up in Wrestlers Court. You’ve heard the stories.
“Uh, [Name]?”
You turn your head to see Jeff, confused at what he was seeing. You don’t make a move to get down either, which confused him even more.
“Jeff Hardy.” Raven acknowledged. “What can we do for you?”
“We?” He repeats, raising an eyebrow.
“We.” You confirm. This time, you get off of Raven, turning your body over to him fully. “Is something the matter?”
There is, there’s a lot that’s “the matter.” For starters, why were you on Raven like that? And secondly, why were you so rude to Lita? He nodded. “Wanted to talk to ya’ for a second. You know, alone?”
Raven runs a hand over his face. For a moment, he considered pulling you away and not letting Jeff talk to you. But he lets it be. You two needed to…sort things out. He comes closer to whisper to you. “I hope you get rid of him. I’ll see you later.”
Shoving his hands into his pockets, Jeff looks at you with unease. “You’ve…uh…” And he’s not sure what to say either.
…Wow, you could’ve looked better. Not that you didn’t look beautiful, it’s just….
Actually, it probably was because you had a match just now. But something’s off about you and Jeff couldn’t put his finger on it.
Your breathy voice makes him snap out of it. “What have you been up to?”
“N-Nothing.” He stutters out, scratching the back of his head nervously. “I’m just hangin’ out backstage..”
Jeff’s not sure what you’re up to and he’s almost too afraid to ask. You’re too eerily calm.
You twitch and give him a smile. “….Me too.” Your voice sounds tired, but you were definitely wide awake. “Lita? Matt? Where are they?”
The mention of his teammates names makes him realize he came here for a reason. He’s not here to feel nervous around you. He’s here to get to the bottom of this.
“I’m not with ‘em…we had a fight. Now me and Matt have a match at Vengeance. Lita’s the referee.” He answers.
“That’s unfortunate.” You say. “I hope you win..”
He doesn’t comment on that. “Speaking of a match, you didn’t come out. Are you okay? Lita said you had some sort of outburst afterwards.”
You gently set your hand on his shoulder. “I’m fine. I just got a little busy. Lita caught me at a bad time…..tell her I’m sorry next time you see her.”
“Right. I’ll do that.” Jeff is suspicious, but as soon as he turns around, you grab his arm. He’s startled at this sudden strength, but looks at you curiously.
“You’re not angry at me are you….?” You pull him closer to you. “Are you angry??? I’d hate for you to be upset.”
“No, no I’m not upset.” He reassured you. “I’m just—I don’t know.….”
You come closer with a smile. “I’m glad you’re not upset. And I hope you won’t be upset to know..that I’ve moved on.”
“Moved on?” He repeats. “What do you mean?”
“I’ve truly found my one and only purpose in life. What we had was a mistake.” You let go of his arm. “I’ve seen the light. Raven has allowed me to find who I truly am. I am in his debt for eternity!”
“What?” Jeff’s in disbelief. What the hell did Raven do to you?! From what he’s known about you so far, you’ve never acted like this before. “When we kissed, that wasn’t a mistake, [Name].”
“It was. I can’t let it happen again.”
In that moment, Jeff felt like his heart broke into a million pieces. He doesn’t know what’s gotten into you, but he damn sure doesn’t like it.
“I-I don’t want ya’ to leave. I like you, I really do.” He says, grabbing your hands. “Please, [Name]. I—“
You shake your head. “I was wrong. I should’ve never helped you out. I don’t know how I was so blind!”
How could you do this to him?
No, why did you do this to him??
You’re seated on a couch next to Austin as the camera pans up from you two to an exasperated Debra. This was one of the closing segments of the night, so you had to make it count.
“Oh, you two just won’t believe what just happened!” Debra starts, pacing around the room. “I’m over there trying to get some coffee and I was talking to Lita. I couldn’t believe all the stuff she was saying.”
“What’d she say?” Austin asks.
“Well, first she said to me, and she thought it was real funny, really funny, when I knocked your head with that cookie tray.”
You remember seeing that! No lie, it was hilarious. You had to cover your mouth to hide the giggle.
“You think that’s funny too??” Austin turns today look at you and you shake your head.
“And that’s not all, either.” Debra continued. “[Name], she told me that you were acting like such a bitch earlier. I mean, she was just laying into you! How gross you looked….how no one could ever like you….”
“She was laying into me?” You shift in your seat to lean forward. Now you were interested. Even after you apologized, Lita had turned her back on you over something so small?
“Honey, you just don’t know the half of it.” She puts her hands on her hips. “She even said that boy that you’ve been eyeing, Jeff, was no good for you. That you don’t deserve him! If you ask me, I think she wants him for herself.”
Even though you harshly let go of Jeff earlier, the idea of Lita attempting to sabotage you behind the scenes pissed you off. Besides, no one knew that you were with Raven yet.
You remember you asked her if she would ever screw you over. Looks like her answer of “no” sounded like a bit of a lie.
Neither you or Austin really knew that Debra was exaggerating most of what Lita said.
“THEN, I couldn’t believe she said this one. She said, ‘I couldn’t imagine someone like you getting married to Debra’…I thought it was so offensive! Get this too, she said ‘he’s nothing but trailer trash’! Can you believe her? I mean, I’m married to you, so what does that make me?!”
Austin doesn’t give much of a reaction, simply brushing off most of what she says at first. It’s just something stupid. He doesn’t want to entertain it.
You on the other hand, felt like you were boiling. How could Lita betray you like this?
“To top it all off—you’re gonna love this one, Steve—she said that her little boyfriend Matt Hardy, could beat your butt any day of the week! She even said she’d mop the floor with you, [Name].”
Hell no. That does it. Austin jumps up from his spot. “Lita said that?! That’s a bunch of bullshit!”
“I’m pissed off too!” Debra adds. “How dare she say those things about you two?”
“[Name], get up. We’re going to pay your friend a little visit. I told ya’, that girl was nothing but trouble. She can’t even pull her pants up, damn it! You expect her to pull through your friendship?!”
You’re starting to think he was right. Lita was a bad friend. Did you have any real friends?
You feel like your only friend here is Raven. He’s the only person that would have your back.
Forever and always, till death do you part.
After a bit of searching and threatening other staff members, you and Austin finally found where Lita was, who just so happened to be chatting it up with Matt.
Both of them seemed sad, but you not Austin cared about how they felt right now.
The camera zooms in on you two as you come into the room. “There ya’ two are.” Austin says. “Hope you’re happy with yourself, Lita.”
You’re trailing behind him, anger written all over your face. Lita, on the other hand, looks confused. You’re happy to refresh her memory. “Debra told us everything. From how Austin was trailer trash to how I was such a gross bitch.”
Matt looks back and forth at you and Austin. He doesn’t get what’s going on here, but it wouldn’t make sense for Lita to say those things. Austin made sense, but you? No way.
“You think I’m gross? You think I’m gross??? Just who the hell do you think you are? You’re supposed to be my friend, but you’re running me down into the dirt?!”
Lita’s in awe, to say the least. Why were you two coming at her like this?! She stutters out words you couldn’t understand.
“Shut up—“
Matt cuts you off and raises his voice. “HEY, HEY, HEY! You don’t tell her to shut up. You talk to me. I don’t know what’s going on here but weren’t you two friends? As much as I don’t like you, something ain’t right. Lita would never say those things.”
“I’ll tell her shut up if I want to! You think I care if you like me or not?” You get out of Lita’s face to approach Matt. “What do you have to do with this anyway? Last time I heard, you two just got into a fight. You kiss and make up yet or are you still going into Vengeance against your own brother?”
He takes a bit too long to respond, so you jab a finger in his face. “That’s exactly what I thought…”
Austin is proud of you for standing up for yourself, but he wouldn’t admit that… “Ya’ saying my wife Debra’s a liar, ya’ little bastard? Ya’ saying [Name]’s a liar?!”
“N-No! I’m not. I just think Lita would never say that.” Matt spared a glance at you. “Yes, I know we’re arguing….I just want to fix things. I really do.”
“No one gives a damn.” Austin says. “How about this, since you can kick my ass, Matt Hardy, according to Lita, I want to see you after Vengeance. I’ll give you the ass whooping you deserve.”
“Maybe it’ll work out for you two. Now you can experience getting beat up as a couple!” You chime in.
“Ya’ damn skippy. And I’ll tell ya’ what, you bring your little stupid girlfriend with you and [Name] will kick her ass too. Ain’t nobody gonna run down the name Stone Cold Steve Austin here. You didn’t forget about that two man power trip, right?”
The crowd cheers as you nod your head. They were stoked to hear you two would be in the ring again.
Lita remembers it well. Very well. She tenses up, the words caught up in her throat.
“Lita?” You begin. The woman literally looks like she’s on the verge of tears, but you could care less. “I will show you how much of a bitch I am.” You say, getting in her face once again. “When I’m done with Torrie, I will make you scream. I WILL make you tap if I have to. Most importantly, I will make sure that you won’t ever get in a ring again.”
Lita turns away from you and bites the inside of her cheek, trying to stop any stray tears exiting her eyes. This situation really upset her. She’d never do that to you! Adding this on top of Team Xtremes problems, it was inevitable for her to break down.
That intergender match is in the books.
You’ve got quite a few problems on your hands and you’re more than happy to solve them. You two walk out of frame.
‘[Name] and Stone Cold have challenged Lita and Matt Hardy! It’s coming after Vengeance! I can’t imagine the carnage!’ JR yells.
And with that, Raw is over for the night, displaying credits and fading out to black.
the rock & reader kinda ate tbh ik reader didn’t get much time to wrestle but we’re saving it for vengeance…..just realized this show went long as hell, damnnnn
trish injuring reader somehow is just a running gag now. reader speedrunning ruining relationships with everyone besides raven. maybe not stone cold and debra cause she acts normal around them (FOR NOW) even though debs was messy for that segment lol

Captured Charles Bios: Reginald Copperbottom
Nicknames: Reg, Reggie, and Little Reggie (RHM calls him Reg and Terrence Suave has a PERSONAL nickname for him and that’s Little Reggie…)
Born in 1970
Age: He is somewhere in his 40’s (He became the new Toppat Leader in 1997)
Sexuality: Homosexual
Pronouns: Genderfluid (but he most of the time sees himself as a male :)
Nationality: Born in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 in England 🏴 in the capital city of London
Simplified explanation of his past:
Reginald Copperbottom was born in London somewhere in the 1970’s and was raised by his only mother Reilly Copperbottom. Unfortunately, Reg’s father abandoned him and his mom which made the living situation very hard for them! They lost their house and lived on the streets of London in a abandoned old shack where Reg had no choice but to start pick pocketing people’s wallets in order to survive! Reginald then was one day captured by Toppats in the middle of a raid and was brought into the Toppat Clan in his teens say 18-20’s and for the first time met the leader of the clan… Terrence Suave! Unfortunately when Reginald was captured by the Toppats his mother passed away due to an unknown illness.
Reginald was getting severely abused physically and emotionally for 9 years by Terrence Suave himself during his reign! One day Terrence almost hurt a little 9 year old Swedish boy named Sven Svensson luckily Reginald took a beating from Terrence in order to protect Sven from getting hit by the bat! RHM saw this and was hurt! Sven was RHM’s adopted boy and fell in love with Reginald and helped him overthrow Terrence once and for ALL!!
Reginald and RHM later got married in the 1997 where Right wears a golden ring and Reg wears a black ring! They lived in peace causing destruction on the planet…. Until in the early 2000’s when they met a certain Henry Stickmin…
In October of 2022 Terrence Suave broke out of his painting and came back in the Captured Charles AU storyline…
Personality
Reginald (in my comics anyway) is a very sensitive meek kind of person… he’s filled with anxiety, paranoia and stress thanks to the abuse. He has panic attacks from time to time whenever he gets bad memories. Reginald can also be quite evil at times if you pester him long enough he can be scary and executes his enemies by getting them hanged! (He is the leader of the Toppat Clan after all…) But don’t get him wrong he only executes/kills someone if they DESERVE it he’s no Terrence Suave after all… Reginald is kind to his clan always making sure if everyone has what they need in order to survive!
Reg is also INCREDIBLY smart he knows a lot about how things work like mathematics, science, literature, and so much more! He even invents his own gadgets from time to time…..but he sadly lost his ability to invent after some brain damage with Terry’s abuse…
Habits/Hobby’s
Reginald has a little problem with stuttering it has to do a lot with his anxiety.
Reginald has a HUGE habit with saying the word “Nyeh” he can’t stop saying it whenever he talks. He first started saying that word a LOT when Terrence started beating him and it gradually became more worse as the years went on. Reginald says “Nyeh” whenever he’s stressed, anxiety, fear, anger, confused, and on rare occasions when he’s happy! But no matter what you do he can’t get rid of the habit.
He likes to drink one or three glasses of wine 🍷 he’s not THAT much of a heavy drinker
Reginald has an AMAZING talent of being an artist! He loves painting backgrounds and especially flowers! No one knows about his secret painting hobby not even RHM but Reginald draws/paints when he’s alone and needs to calm down after a bad panic attack.
Reginald likes to keep a little bottle of poison on his self. Everyday before he gets out of his room and starts his day as a chief he takes his little bottle of poison and hides it in his coat in case…well let’s just say no one is ever gonna capture Reginald alive—! No one knows this not even RHM.
Reginald has a small smoking addiction… but he only needs it when he’s stressed or to ease extreme pain…
Powers/abilities:
Reginald’s powers are— he has the ability to summon a fiery purple sword and use it to ATTACK his enemies, breathe purple fire, summon stuff, and has a SUPER scream that can pierce peoples ears and make them bleed if Reginald gets REALLY MAD!!
Other facts:
Reginald’s color that represents him is purple!
Eye color: Reg’s eye color is purple like this
Reginald has a humongous red scar on his neck given to him by Terrence Suave. That scar is the main reason why he can’t swallow anything without feeling any pain. Reginald coughs up blood every once in a while thanks to the red scar. Reginald’s weak spot is his neck something Terrence took advantage of for many years! He can’t yell that much either or else he will cough up blood! DO NOT TOUCH REGINALD’S NECK it causes Reg extreme pain because Terrence did so much damage to it.
This picture is what Reginald looked like during his 20’s and during Terrence’s reign and during his abuse from Terrence. Terrence likes to call him Little Reggie…
This is what Reginald looked like when he was a kid when he was living in the streets of London with his mother
Relationships:
Reginald is married to RHM (aka Jeremy Robinson)
Jay Benson by @jaytoons7 is his FAVORITE son he’s his pride and joy! He always tries to give Jay the childhood he never had as a child! He really really loves his precious baby Jay…
Danny and Crusher (by @jaytoons7) are Reg’s BEST FRIENDS (with benefits) along with RHM he always enjoys fruity nights with them!
He loves his other son Sven Svensson and is teaching him everything he knows to become the next BEST leader!
Favorite food:
Curry 🍛 (it’s the only thing he can eat without feeling any pain in his neck) (plus Reginald LOVES spicy food)
Likes:
Massages, cuddles, doing his hobbies, wine, fruity nights, CURRY, British stuff lol and stealing
Dislikes:
Remembering Terrence Suave, panic attacks, anything relating to neck pain, being away from RHM (Reg panics a LOT when RHM is away even for a couple of minutes)
Hair color:
Reginald’s hair is brown (it’s hidden under his top hat 👀)
More in detail on Reginald’s fragile mental health and anxiety:

Antinomy of Common Flowers:
Touhou 15.5: Antinomy of Common Flowers is the third and final entry in the Urban Legend Trilogy. It's one of my favorite entries in the series for its wide and fun range of characters, thrilling story, and amazing final boss theme. And this is gonna be a long one so you might want to get some snacks.
Thanks to the unresolved Urban Legend incident, rumors have been going around about a certain phenomenon called "Perfect Possession": victims get taken over by another person in not just mind, but body. Not just ghosts can do this: anyone can with the right state of mind! Naturally, the people of Gensokyo mess around with this for fun and profit. But, there are also a great many people working tirelessly to resolve this incident however possible.
Of course, as mentioned, the Urban Legend incident has not been resolved, and so everyone uses the same weird abilities as before.
The people of Gensokyo have formed some unlikely duos using this Perfect Possession. Each of these duos has a story mode making up a larger storyline, in chronological order:
• Reimu and Kasen
• Marisa and Koishi
• Nitori and Kokoro
• Mamizou and Mokou
• Miko and Byakuren
• Ichirin and Futo
• (Dream World) Reisen and Doremy
• Sumireko and Doremy
• Tenshi and Shinmyoumaru
• Yukari and Reimu (basically the final showdown against the main villains)
• Jo'on and Shion (a sort of epilogue of the main villains cleaning up their mess)
Marisa becomes a jobber! She and Koishi are the first to be defeated by the main villains, who cheat the spellcard rules to become almost invincible up until the end.
The Myouren Temple and the Divine Spirit Mausoleum reluctantly join forces to resolve this incident, but fail miserably at accomplishing anything. Still, it seems both Buddhists and Taoists
Yukari Yakumo, after sitting out the previous two major incidents, comes back for a major role in the plot! She's piecing together a plan to solve the incident.
Her urban legend is the Teke Teke: a woman severed from the waist down who lives in abandoned subway stations and crawls after you, trying to take your legs for her own! Yukari mimics this with her portals, but nobody's really cut. Still, the shock of it all appears to actually deal damage to the person she "bisects".
Tenshi Hinanawi the bratty celestial returns after a long absence! It seems she's been banished from Heaven and is having quite the temper tantrum. Her urban legend is the conspiracy theory of HAARP being a weather control machine.
Oh, and this was the first Touhou game to receive an official English translation. It is not good. It is poorly translated. So most people just stick to the fan translations as they always have.
It turns out that this Perfect Possession is not possession at all, but rather a form of teleportation. If a person is in a calm, dream-like state, another person can attach themselves to them, becoming the "slave". You'd expect the "master" to be the one doing the possession but no, it's the host. Anyway, this possessor is then sent to the Dream World, replacing the Dream World counterpart of their host. When the possession starts, their host and them switch dimensions. But what happens to the Dream World counterpart? They get pushed out into the real world!
This is the true negative side effect of the Perfect Possession incident, and it wasn't even on purpose!
Everyone in the world has a Dream World counterpart. They can often act very differently than you would in any situation. As I mentioned in Doremy's profile, they can be thought of as an exaggeration of one's true self. More specifically, they effectively treat the world as if it were a video game and they suffered no consequences for any of their actions. You might think based on the actions of the Dream selves that people are truly evil at heart, but that's not entirely true. I made the video game comparison because much as liking violent video games doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, these Dream World counterparts don't make their real world selves evil villains. When I say suffering no consequences for their actions, that includes actually hurting anyone. Basically, the less a Dream World counterpart acts like their real self, that doesn't mean the real world is hiding more, it just means they care more about the consequences of their actions.
Doremy Sweet, ruler of dreams, has attached herself to each of these Dream World counterparts to keep an eye on them. While she makes no effort to steer them away from wreaking havok, she also explains the situation to anyone willing to listen. When the Dream World counterparts are fought, however, Doremy sits there and does nothing, weakening the dream selves against a Perfect Possession duo.
I'M NOT DONE YET! YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A SNACK!
Some notable Dream World counterparts:
• Marisa Kirisame is revealed to harbor jealousy towards Reimu and Yukari for stealing the "main character role" from her.
• Reisen Udongein Inaba has a great deal of pent-up aggression against the people of Gensokyo for their bullying of her, and lashes out at anyone in her path. Her actions lead to her real self getting put under house arrest.
• Toyosatomimi no Miko has a staunch sense of justice, to a fanatical degree. She wishes she had killed the Yorigami Sisters for being as evil as they are.
• Byakuren Hijiri apparently dreams of putting bombs in the heads of uncooperative disciples to ensure their obedience. This is the Dream World counterpart least like her real world self. Basically, it appears to be her hidden lazy side: she doesn't want to have to actually go through the effort of convincing people her way is the right one. Dream World Byakuren also wants a button to exist somewhere to instantly attain enlightenment, rather than having to do all this meditation and such. Remember, she hasn't done this in private, merely the idea of doing it has entered her head. In fact, when someone at the temple sees this Dream World Byakuren, it doesn't disillusion them. Quite the exact opposite: they come to the conclusion that if she can act so against her innermost desires on a daily basis in the name of helping others, than there might be hope for them, too.
• Mamizou wants to take over Gensokyo, and then the world, and rule it with an iron fist, annihilating anyone she doesn't like. Yet at the same time, she also has horrifying nightmares of being hunted down and killed by humans, apparently trauma from the Outside World.
• Nitori's Dream World counterpart is actually NICER than her real one. She has none of the greed she exhibits normally and is simply a curious inventor who wants to make new machines all day long. Doremy admires such a pure soul.
• Reimu Hakurei is also nicer in the Dream World. It proves that deep down she just wants a quiet, peaceful life without hardship.
• Koishi's dream self is basically dead, thanks to Koishi closing off all but her subconscious mind. Koishi doesn't dream ever.
• And finally, Tenshi's Dream World counterpart is practically the game's Extra boss. She's the most powerful and megalomaniacal of the Dream selves. She acts like a ranting supervillain, talking about wanting to annihilate the world and create a new one in its place.

i’m trying to finish one last book before my year-end book post goes up so i’m gonna talk about games and tv first. not too many of either to talk about this year tbh but i apparently still have so many words.
no movies post bc i don’t log my films anywhere and i simply cannot remember what i watched. maybe i should make 2024 the year of using letterboxed. not enough to talk about with new music either. 2024 can also be the year of getting back into music.
games: i actually haven’t played much ffxiv this year. well in the first half i sorta did but i have barely touched it since like. august. except to keep my houses from getting demolished. i did finally finish myths of the realm last week, since they wrote that entire storyline for me specifically. i need the minion so bad yoship help.
in march capcom gave me a birthday prezzie with the release of the resident evil 4 remake which i’d had preordered since last year (the only games i’ll preorder and pay full price for are resis and ffxiv expansions). i don’t need to explain this to you. it’s incredibly good, the best of the extremely good remakes so far i think. i haven’t played the dlc yet but i’m excited to think there is more of this game i still have to play. btw ashley defense squad. i’ll brook no ashley slander in my house.
i can’t remember exactly when but i think it was some time in the summer that i finally, finally finished breath of the wild! i’m so behind the curve on this one, but i did at least get to start tears of the kingdom in the same year as everyone else. umm, i have to admit i remain ambivalent to this approach to zelda. i have to challenge myself to figure out how much of that is because iT’s DiFfErEnT but genuinely i think the things i dislike about it, i would still dislike even if i had nothing to compare it against. i really wish i thought it was the best zelda ever like so many do but i guess i just struggle to find a flow state with either of them which is why it’s taking me so fucking long to finish them lmao. still obviously extremely good and beautiful! like still head and shoulders above most games, easily, a good time overall!! (wish nintendo wasn’t the way that it is.)
i should mention that one day in july i fucked around in catlateral damage while streaming for bella. this is a very basic game, literally you are just a cat’s paw knocking things over, but man when you just need a brain-free giggle? it did its job.
also in july i played the sequel to oxenfree, which is a game that i love. this game didn’t click with me quite as much, i haven’t revisited it since i finished it, but there are probably also other reasons i shan’t get into that aren’t the game’s fault. idk i feel a bit unqualified to give a final verdict without playing it to completion but i guess the fact that i’ve had it for months and not bothered to do that yet is a kind of verdict in itself since with oxenfree i went straight back in till i got that final ending and platinum trophy.
for basically all of autumn i of course played baldur’s gate 3. i’m very sad that my extreme anhedonia has hit before i could play the new epilogue. i tried to load up one of my finished games but i ran into a problem because the only way to back up your saves is in the cloud so you can’t shuffle files around or make copies, only overwrite, and don’t get me STARTED again or i’ll start spitting i’m so SICK of PROFIT PROFIT PROFIT AAAAAHH. anyway it’s a pretty good game. i won’t be surprised or mad if neil wins the bafta but it really really should be samantha please if there’s justice in this world.
tv: season 3 of only murders in the building. umm, idk. it’s not a revolutionary show but it’s comforting, it doesn’t feel stale yet, and there’s just a lot of talent at work here. just fun to watch.
i watched almost all of neon genesis evangelion but couldn’t finish it because i decided to have an (unrelated) emotional breakdown instead. i’ll finish it eventually if for no other reason than i owe it to phil. shinji is baby.
finally got to the first season of our flag means death. just a delight. i love fun pirate adventures and i love the queers. unfortunately watched it right before the second season released and haven’t gotten to that yet.
did watch the second season of good omens though. i think they made the right choice to scale it back because honestly once you’ve averted the apocalypse trying to outdo yourself becomes a fool’s errand. also, jon hamm’s butt what who said that.
that’s it i think. as i said no season 2 of ofmd, not even the new flanagan yet which i had really been looking forward to for a long time. i dunno ya girl is struggling to find any pleasure in life atm.
#thought this post was gonna be short#but then remembered like two more games#and i watched way more tv than i thought#wish i could tell you about the movies but i really cannot. remember.

Note to self: don't write ramblings late at night when you're feverish and sleep deprived.
I'm gonna do it anyway.
So for those who don't know. Hi, I'm Messy and I make questionable life choices when it comes to simping every single day.
I'm consistently attracted to red flag characters. (Hell, Kody is on my simping list. But we'll get back to that) And I've already made the discovery several times over, that it translates into my real life as well. But that's not why I'm here.
For those who do know me (as much as I let unknown people on the internet know me anyways. Internet safety first kiddos.) You already know that I'm head over ass obsessed with Vega. That whole fucking month where I just begged Vega to step on me every single day should be evidence of that.
Just to be clear though, there's nothing wrong with simping for red flag characters. I can disagree with their actions ( cough cough kody cough cough) or think they shouldn't have done what they did ( cough cough Alexis cough cough)
But at the end of the day... these are fictional characters. They aren't real. What they did isn't real. Their victims aren't real.
Does that mean I'm going to simp for them if they were real and the real damage they did cause to someone real? No. I lose respect real quick over boundary violators. But the entire point of fiction is to offer something that isn't real to be enjoyed.
People get heated over certain things that certain characters did. Which is fine. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and is allowed to voice said opinion. (EVERYONE. Not just the people I agree with.) But these actions are made for the story. To enhance it, to dramatize, to move it along. And we have to take it as such.
But Messy, why are you bringing this all up now? Because of Sam. Darlin is gonna have to make a choice about their life and their life with Sam. And people are going to get upset no matter what the choice is. I know which option I'm rooting for.
But the problem is, when people get upset, they can get angry. And I really just want to avoid all that. I know not everyone will see this, and not everyone will agree. But whatever choice Darlin makes is for this fantastical and intricate storyline Erik is building. It might not be what we like. But this is his story world. Not ours.
I think I got really of topic.
Bottom line (or TL;DR): fiction is made to be enjoyed. Its choices are purposeful for the story. Simping for problematic characters causes no real harm, so do what you like. People can have opinions, just be chill about it.

So this is the only time I'm gonna explicitly talk about the baby plotline bc it sickens me to my core and I see red if I even think about it.
1) To start with, there was no narrative reason for this. While I have my criticisms of Carmen, using her as a baby machine for Johnny's arc is just plain wrong. I know that the show is set in 2019 and was filmed before s4 even released so I won't hold them to what's happening in the US right now but it still doesn't make this plotline any better bc it's still using Carmen as a vehicle for Johnny's arc. Literally all we were told this season (told mind you not shown the way good writing is supposed to do) is how much better Johnny is now and how he won't repeat his mistakes. Even if it could've been used to highlight just how flawed Johnny and Carmen's relationship is, that could still have been done without this plotline. Like they could've shown Carmen struggling after Miguel comes back from Mexico. Or her interacting with Robby. It's pretty clear that he's not included in her "happy family" so they could show how that would affect her relationship with Johnny now that Robby is actually here and this could spur Johnny on to actually choose once and for all.
2) Also, for all that they seem obsessed with showing how much Johnny has changed this season, he very clearly hasn't as far as Robby is concerned. And that should be where the focus is. All this talk this season about Johnny getting a second chance when Johnny has already had a second chance, he's had a 100 chances actually, to be a better father...with Robby. All this storyline has done is make it impossible for them to have a genuine, natural reconciliation at any point. Because Johnny is repeating his mistakes. He's still choosing everyone and everything else over Robby. He's still ignoring Robby's feelings in favor of his own.
3) This is what really gets me. There is no narrative reason for this plotline. Even without it, just about everything that happened could've still happened. Hell even Robby's arc (since the writers seem hell bent on making him suffer) would've been the same. Johnny would still have forced a reconciliation between Robby and Miguel, Robby would still feel out of place in Johnny's life and with the Diazs and he would've still felt the need to create this false self that he created this season to fit in. Even that horrible apartment fight would've taken place the exact same way with the same end, just without the revelation. Even Carmen's little dream scenario (you know the one that Robby is conspicuously absent from) could still have happened, just in a slightly different way.
What really sucks is that there doesn't seem to be a way out of that plotline that isn't demeaning, that doesn't cause even more issues between Robby, Johnny and Miguel, that wouldn't cause more pain for Robby and that wouldn't be yet another reason for fans (since they go out of their way to find bullshit reasons anyway) to turn it around on Robby and use it to hate on him even more.
The writers well and truly shot themselves in the foot with this storyline and I can't think of a way that fix the damage this storyline has done. Not without just getting rid of it and acting like it never happened

Look, I love 9-1-1 so very very much but coming at it objectively (and as someone who works in TV, and has done for several years), I would not be surprised if this was the final season. I would be gutted if it was canceled but not surprised. Shows which I never thought would be cancelled have been left to dry up, over a decade of production has ended. I worked for two and a half years for a flagship show on a major global network (not giving specifics cause I ain't gonna dox myself when I've seen the behaviour of some people on this tag) and they are really struggling at the moment.
911 simply does not have the viewership it once did, the actors are all getting more and more famous (thus more and more expensive) and the hugely negative reactions online are super damaging. It's one thing to have people complaining about the show while still watching but the drop in viewership combined with bad press, and review bombing (literally what the fuck guys... If you didn't like it, you don't need to ruin it for everyone else? How vindictive and nasty can you be?) can be seriously damaging.
Channels are leaving things to the last minute to renew shows because they are running out of money and this uncertainty can be seen in the writing - season five ended in a way which would be a reasonable final ever scene - and there is only so much that you can do when every season ends with the same vibes of "this could be goodbye forever".
Also, the show is just changing - which is natural over time. Whether you are a buddie fan or not, the Buck & Eddie relationship was a huge part of the show and the writers have basically nuked their screen time for whatever reason which is causing a lot of issues with fans. The human stories are just starting to struggle as storylines aren't being explored and the repeated refusal of the writers to ever have on screen make-ups after issues leads to a lack of trust. If two characters have problems that are a huge plot point, you cannot simply have all make up and big moments off screen (see chimney punch, madney breakup, buck parents make up etc). Characters are making increasingly OOC decisions for reasons which are never explained which leads to the conslusion that either the writers are trying to desperately avoid certain situations with specific characters, or they simply do not understand their characters and aren't willing to try and explain things that don't make sense.
They're running out of storylines too as we see with them getting frankly more and more ridiculous. Now I for one don't mind this, it's a fictional show and I've read fanfic much more bonkers than canon, but for a casual viewer, there's a limit to how much people are willing to let go. (I will take literally anything because I am long past the point about caring about reality in fiction. I like liking things and you're not gonna stop me).
This isn't meant to be a negative post (although it's come out more depressing than I thought) but realistically, I'm not holding out hopes because TV is a numbers game and bad ratings and bad reviews lead to cancelled shows. If you don't like an episode, don't rate it. Would you genuinely prefer the show cancelled because your fave didn't have a big role in an episode? It's literally an ensemble cast so everyone gets their own big storylines.
Anyway, here's hoping I'm wrong and I can joke about this miserable post in the future. I'm off to read 911 fanfic 🤣
#911 fox#911#911 spoilers#look i know people habe strong feelings but honestly you can choose not to be a vitriolic child#we all have faves and things we dont like about the show but ive never seen such horrific cyber bullying as i have in this fandom#the behaviour is utterly dispicable and i hope to all god that the cast dont know how fans of this show act#except i know they do because some people abuse the cast when they dont like episodes#like you woild never do that to someone in real life so why is it appropriate to do it to an actor#they owe you literally nothing#working in tv lets you see the genuine worst sides of people sometimes#im lucky ive only had a few online attacks but DMming hate to actors? grow the fuck up

*bumps into you on the streets and slides an envelope in your jacket pocket* ✍️✨️💭📚 for you, my dear!
Oh there's a letter in my pocket! How sweet! *letter blows away in the wind* Oh no! my letter! *sighs and smiles* damn.. I wonder what adventures that letter is gonna find itself on
ignore how goofy and cringy that was,, it was on purpose ❤️
✍️ What’s your ideal writing setup?
I can write about anywhere, but I do need music. If I don't have music, especially the songs that my inspiration and motivation comes from, I might lose my steam and get distracted by other stuff. Silence is my enemy.
(I hope that was the right "setup" and not like.. what program you use lmao)
✨️ Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?
Besides allof my friends comments obviously, I love you guys ✨️ Escapism always has the best comments they're either super sweet or hilarious. They got the best vibes fr
some of my favorites are (and i'm just writing them bc i don't wanna add a bunch of screenshots):
"you get everyone's characters down to a T which is honestly hard to find in fanfic. i adore this!"
"damn i did not think about Gar/Jon ship but you are onto something great here"
"you can only stare into each other's eyes, red in the face, so many times before you have to face the facts" < -- context: the end of chapter 7
"Thank you so much for sharing [this fic]; it's such an unparalleled blend of fluff and humor and angst"
"The cheek kiss and then Jordan immediately bullying Jon has me dying. This fic is the highlight of my week easily."
and the one time someone said they usually hate slowburns but Escapism does it so well they actually love it
also this isn't a comment, it's on a bookmark I got today but it made me giggle and kick my feet
It's my job to write Gar, random ao3 user 💚
💭 What inspires you and your writing?
Wow, umm.. A LOT. Other than the "of course" answer of tv shows, I get most of my fic + scene ideas/inspo from music. Lets say I have a scene idea and it's angsty, then I'm gonna listen to songs with lyrics and sound that fit the vibe i'm going for. While listening to the song(s) on repeat, I let my brain pictures do the rest of work, and if it creates something I like and know I can twist around be bit to fit my storyline as a whole, I choose that
but on the non-music flipside, me and my friend have tossed around ideas before just in texting and a lot of little things in Escapism came from those jokes/chats
📚 Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you recommend?
okay listen.. I was gonna send you this one but thought "that seems like I'm fishing for a compliment" so I decided against it lmao
anywayyyy.. your fics OF COURSE are amazing,, "Acrida" is my favorite but I already told you that hehe I really liked "When I'm Dead And Gone, Will They Sing About Me?" too
and while I'm praising fic authors my bestie in crime, the Jon to my El, @mombosslois and her fic "A Love Without End". It's everything s&l season 2 wishes it could have been. It's just UGH SO GOOD YA KNOW??? I don't wanna spoil it just in case but it makes me feel like
but in the most positive way ever
now a fic that made me wanna throw up and cry at the same time was "So- Your Child Got Addicted to X-K" by underwaterrock. I've never had a fic make me need to step away from my screen and catch my breath before, it was crazy, but I still love it. It's in the top 5 of my favorite s&l fics. "collateral damage" by Zannolin was great too,, I love me some missing scene/episode fics and it's about Jon so instant gold star sticker
