#Also Bison...that's kinda random

Every thought I had after binging Heart Killers

- also episode 10 really got to me

I know, I am very late to the party, I took a long time off. It was only yesterday that I realized Heart Killers was already airing and it's already been 10 WEEKS?! I don't know how I missed this but anyways, turns out I've started watching at the right time, ending with the most heartbreaking scene after binging this show. Good timing on my part, I'm very hooked for next week.

I didn't have high expectations since this is a GMMTV show. Even with this cast, they could have messed this up badly, but they didn't. This show has so much going on, no episode feels like a filler, the plot doesn't take forever and it's thrilling to have the characters know about each other and not saying anything for a whole episode. Truly iconic.

I am really positively surprised by Joong. His acting...he stands out and he shows raw and complexe emotions, I didn't think he had it in him but he's really good. I think he and Kao really bring a lot of emotions and authenticity to their roles.

Khao had me when Bison finds out Kant and Style are the snitches and working for the police. His face and especially his eyes said it all. He didn't cry that much, it was just one silent tear but everything was there. The utter betrayal and heartbreak really hit and Khao really acted his heart out. I think that moment shows his qualities as an actor. In general, I love the complexe roles he gets. Bison is absolutely cute until he isn't, until he kills people. I think James was a very good choice to show how fucked everybody is when Bison is angry.

"When I'm with you, you either make me feel so scared or really safe."

And then we have Joong. Since Hidden Agenda, I see his charisma, he has a very special vibe no matter which role he plays, he catches me. And not just because of his looks, guys. The scene when Fadel finds out about Style and slow dances with him, his eyes said it all. The betrayal, the heartbreak, the hope and the anger. He went through it all and let himself enjoy that moment, still hoping it wasn't true, it's a world breaking while he still believes.

He confesses his feelings, it's absolutely romantic and Style kisses him with so much affection, it breaks Fadel's heart (and mine). Because when the kiss ends, he cannot look at Style, he looks down, he hides. So he chooses to hide his face entirely and hugs Style while they slow dance. I didn't even see it at first but there is a tear falling, a silent one because it cannot be true and because Style can't know. That's when Joong absolutely delivered for me.

Sooooo, after all of that, we need to talk about that scene in episode 10 because Joong really had me there. I wasn't crying with him but I really felt a little bit depressed after that and listened to this soundtrack 10 times before I was able to do anything (song: Let it all out on me - Houses on the hill). Because it's not just the dialogue or the tears. No, it's the hug. Fadel was holding on to dear life, he clung onto Style like he was gonna die if he didn't. And maybe he woud have really died on the inside if he didn't. The whole scene is so desperate and Fadel's trail of thoughts so agonizing and it's so quiet that I could really feel it. It's raw. The trust between them is so deep but in the end it doesn't matter because Fadel is scared, I think he probably is the most scared he's ever been for Style. And most importantly, he's grieving. His ex died because of his mother, he feels responsible, he wants to push Style away and it really takes him a minute to realize Style isn't going, isn't doing what Fadel thinks is right, is not dead yet.

It's the way Style keeps holding Fadel's face and whiping the tears away. He is a keeper, he is a whole green flag in that scene, he is everything for a broken boyfriend. And I feel like the dialogue is not necessarily the most heartbreaking thing about that scene, it's not even that important. It's what happens after that shows their deep understanding and trust for each other.

We get a kiss, a kiss on the forhead, an abrupt hug, a crying hug, a desperate hug, Fadel collapsing and Style padding his head.

If that isn't love then I don't know what is. It feels like a conversation, it's Style assuring Fadel of his love, Fadel realizing it, Fadel being scared but also very relieved that he could share those thoughts and that weight. And after that he's just hanging on, he's desperately trying to feel Style near him and the moment he realizes Style keeps on holding him while he's sobbing, he's gone. Everything just comes together and we don't really get that often in BLs. Of course, his situation is...special...but still, there are moments in life when things are too much and that's when you lean on your partner or friend or anyone else.

Heart Killers has charcters that just feel extremely real even if that whole story is not close to reality. But that scene, it can happen to any of us at some point in life. It can be too much and it's hard to trust someone so much that you let yourself feel everything you don't even allow yourself to feel when you are alone. It is overwhelming but I really like how honest this scene feels. Like I said, it's lingering in my head, it caught me off guard and I just thought about it for a little while after.

I just randomly clicked on this roblox horse game that's in beta rn and unironically it's really fucking good like I think this might become one of The horse girl games:

Some highlights: full randomized genetic features and maximum customization, you can catch normal horses, ponies, proto-horses (equus horse ancestors), BISON HORSES, unicorns, and gargoyle horses?? And any of those types of horses can randomly spawn with a mutation that makes them into pegasi

The best thing? The pegasi can actually fly around the map, it's like the hyperrealistic 3D dragon mmo with fully realistic breeding systems if it actually got made

Also there's this random sexy Chinese centaur npc that just hangs out at the edge of the map I guess I kinda fw him

Heart killers episode 8 uncohesive stray thoughts

With screenshots cuz I take to many and I have to use them for something

She is me, i am her

Ah ofcourse he still cares

What kind of motel is this, like what kind of weird sex room have our boys found themselves in??

Im glad he knows how to use his appeal. Knows that he is hot and attractive

I know we're keeping it very inside of the ships but I just know Bison and Style would match e/o freak

Oh how personal/vulnerable all of the sudden

Also was it really that hard to just give Style a little bit of reassurance. Just a lil pat on the back, c-mon

You are asking a tattoo artists to fish tho. Not really in his skill set is it?

Well Style has something to do with it, he is kinda being kidnapped right now, very active in the situation

Not really making friends with that

I am pretty certain i know which one Style thinks is true

Okay that was unnecessarily mean

Omg the heartbreak in Kants eyes during this scene. Why would they do that to me

Bisons finger is on the trigger, nothing is stopping him from shooting Kant rn. Well nothing except his own feelings.

Hes clearly not scared of killing so the reason Style is still alive because he decided it.

I was so confused for so long wether popcorn was his actual name or a cute petname

Oh Fadel is supricingly okay killing this random guy. I though his big thing was that he only killed bad people, is cheating a big enough sin in Fadels eyes or is he also redirecting his anger towards Style at him. everybody is so accepting of the fact that Fadel has a gun and is willing to use it

Can Style officiate their marriage?

I like how casual popcorn is around Fadel being willing to shoot his boyfriend/husband (idk if Style is able to marry them)

Dont break my heart like that

Oh god they hurt me so much

How sweet they are. They melt together to well

They will be the death of me

Omg thats just what im thinking

Right yeah ofc

I swear to god Dunk and his love drunk eyes will be the death of me.

For anyone wondering I took 185 successful screenshots. 82 of Style and or Fadel, 86 of Kant and or Bison, 12 of popcorn and or his cheating boyfriend (jimmy or something), 3 of the woman who worked at the motel and one of Keen.

[sunsetsover]

so here's what i was thinking about while i was in the shower/what i'm predicting will happen from here on out/how i would write it if i was writing this show

we know a few things from the preview

kant figures out exactly when and where fadel and bison are planning to kill that ruerat guy, essentially handing them to christ on a silver platter but christ has no intentions on letting kant go (at least not yet)

the place fadel and bison are planning to kill him is obviously some kind of charity event for kids/young people

babe is also there, maybe receiving some kind of award or something? either way it's clearly something to do w the charity ruerat is running

fadel and bison are in bear suits, hiding their faces. we know from previous episodes that lilly wants ruerat's death to be a spectacle, so it seems they're planning to kill him right there in front of everyone at the event.

problem is that babe is there. and fadel has never seen babe's face before and won't know him beyond being some random kid. bison obviously does.

fadel makes the shot regardless, either by some kind of accident or bc he thinks he can make the shot without hitting babe (i don't think fadel would purposely shoot knowing he might hit a kid, even if it was just some random one)

bison sees it happen and obviously tries to shove babe out of the way before the bullet can hit, shouting babe's name in the process, potentially outing himself as the one inside the suit if anyone heard him

i'm just thinking out loud from here on out, but the thing is that kant is a good big brother. he's gonna know what's going on with babe, esp if it's some seemingly semi-formal charity event. and if kant knows where this hit is supposed to be, and he knows his brother is also supposed to be attending some charity thing on the same night, he is eventually gonna put two and two together. and then he's going to go running straight to the scene of the crime to make sure babe is safe.

i think this is when kant will 'find out' the truth about bison and fadel. maybe not straight away, but i can see it being like... babe's all shaken up but he tells kant that one of the guys in the bear suits shoved him out of the way of the bullet, but then they disappeared before babe could say thank you. maybe he'll mention that they knew his name. maybe he'll even say that it kinda sounded like bison. and kant will know what that means. he'll know bison jeopardised his hit and also his freedom in order to save kant's brother. (and then i think the emotional floodgates will open fr, bc he's already falling and he'll be so shaken bc it has probably been so easy to convince himself that bison is just some Bad Guy killing indiscriminately but obv that isn't the case. he threw himself in front of a bullet for his brother. how can someone who does that be completely bad?)

i think that kant won't necessarily know that bison got caught by the bullet in the process, not at first, but i think bison will have. the bear suit would hide the blood. bison would try to hide it and pretend everything is normal bc he knows if kant knows he's hurt it'd give him away, esp given he said babe's name. he doesn't realise kant already knows ofc. but there's that scene from the trailer where bison's on the ground gripping on his stomach clearly wounded and in pain and kant's crouched over him worried - i don't think he'll be able to hide it for very long. and there's no explaining away a bullet wound. he'll have no choice but to admit who he is, and what happened. what he almost did.

and maybe he'll give him the whole truth then, about how his parents were killed and lilly took him in and he owes her but he doesn't want to do this anymore, he never did, and this was supposed to be their last job and they would be free and they could be together properly but now everything's messed up and he's sorry, he's so sorry for lying and for putting babe in danger, he just wanted to live a normal life like everyone else but clearly a normal life isn't for someone like him. and maybe kant vows to help him then. promises that they can help each other. (i'll help you start over, we'll take care of each other) and maybe bison believes him, or maybe he doesn't wanna risk putting kant or his brother in danger again but either way he essentially disappears after that.

why? bc it's dangerous for them now. the attempted hit was too big. it was too big of a spectacle. there were too many witnesses. and maybe lilly is after them too for fucking up such an important job, or maybe it's christ that have caught their scent, or maybe it's both, lilly chasing the boys, christ chasing lilly. but either way bison and fadel have to lay very, very low. (this is probably why they don't see the cctv of kant in their secret room - with everything going on, they won't have time to check it) fadel, maybe because he was the gunman, has to go on the run. style goes with him (the scenes of them wandering in fields with fadel wearing a sling w a gun in his hand - maybe he gets caught in the aftermath of the attempted hit too?). bison seemingly stays local, maybe bc he's injured, but he's clearly sneaking around all dressed in black with a hat pulled over his face. kant seems to catch him in a car park, or maybe it's bison that catches kant. they talk it out (i just need to know i'll always be with you/with the way i live, i can't promise you anything) and then seem to still be together (the scene from the trailer where bison seemed hiding in the backseat of kant's car to surprise him with a cheek kiss, but he still had the dark bucket hat on) and probably planning some kind of escape - maybe for all three of them, kant, bison and babe.

atp i still don't think bison will know the truth of what kant had been doing. i also think there will be a sense of kant thinking he's kind of home free in regards to bison. christ will probably still be on his ass, but if he can hold him off for a little while longer then soon they'll be running into the sunset together and bison will never have to know about any of it, right!!! well no, obviously not.

bc i think style is going to fold like a house of cards. he already is, really. and when they're on the run, i can almost guarantee that fadel will have a similar confession to bison's - about his parents, and lilly, and how he wanted out, and prob about whatever the situation with his ex is too - and in turn style will tell fadel the truth about what he and kant have been doing. and style will probably be able to win fadel around, esp considering he wasn't in on it when he approached fadel and they're also isolated w no one else around and he can pester his way back into his good graces, but no way in hell fadel is gonna let what kant's doing to his baby brother go. but the thing is, he can't contact bison right away. it's too dangerous. and so he's gonna have to sit on that information until they meet up again. meanwhile kant and bison are back home planning their great escape together, none the wiser.

then they do meet up, probably by the coast. by a beach. fadel tells bison the truth. bison tells fadel to let him handle it. there's a boat involved. bison walks kant off of it at the sharp end of a gun. but the thing is, i've always thought there was something off about that scene from the trailer. bison doesn't look especially angry. the gun doesn't even follow him down towards the water, which surely it would if he genuinely wanted kant dead. so i don't think it's necessarily anger or revenge that has bison walking kant off the boat, but almost.... a test, maybe?

bc kant is obviously going to plead his case, swearing that although he only approached him bc christ had him over a barrel, he really does love him now, and he really does want a life with him, and he meant everything he said about them starting again together, he swears. and bison, who i do think knows kant is up to something but i keep changing my mind on what exactly he knows and how much, is (imo) not going to be particularly surprised by this revelation. he's not going to be particularly heartbroken or angry, at least not too overtly so. he'd probably been expecting this. and i think he's going to also know, at least to a certain degree, that kant is being honest. bison is discerning. he's clever. i don't believe he's as irrational as everyone thinks he is. and so i think he'll be willing to forgive kant, but not without him suffering a little first, and not without some proof that kant really means what he says.

bc words are one thing, but does kant trust bison enough to go jumping into the ocean - his biggest fear - with his hands tied? does he trust that bison - who has stated multiple times that he's a strong swimmer btw - will dive in and save him? does he trust that bison won't just leave him there to die after what he's done? is he that willing to prove himself to him?

we know kant jumps. we know he doesn't drown. we know at some point kant is getting down on one knee in front of bison. but what exactly happens between him walking him off a boat at gun point and that, i have no fucking clue lmao

bc obviously there's a lot more involved in this than just these four. obviously there's gonna be external forces at play probably revealing massive plot points between all of this (like them finding out lilly killed their parents, which i'm never letting go of btw) that will determine what they do and why. i have no clue what keen's angle is, i don't know how lilly is going to react to them fucking up the ruerat job, and i don't know what the fuck christ's problem is that he wouldn't just take the offering kant gave him when it was practically gift wrapped for him. i have some guesses, but not enough to be like 'oh i can see this happening'. but based on the preview and the few unseen scenes we have left from the trailer, i feel like this is what makes the most sense, at least in regards to kantbison/fadelstyle and their progression. but then again what do i know lmao

THK random thoughts post Ep 4

1) I’ve come to the conclusion that Bison is a sharp cookie and using his unassuming cuteness and sweet smile to lure people in 😅. I kinda of suspected it but this episode really clinch the deal for me. However, despite that, he seems to have soften slightly towards Kant, especially after the latter showed vulnerability when it involves Babe, his younger brother. Perhaps it’s partly because Kant does seem to resemble Fadel in some ways (and you know what they say that we usually fall in love with someone who resembles our love ones - and one thing is for sure, Bison loves his big brother even as he annoys the heck out of Fadel).

2) Got to say, I love the whole Batman/Robin sequence. It was truly the first time I think Bison saw Kant being somehow truthful and not his usual suave front - cause even as he was charmed by Kant’s smooth talking and attention, he only really let his guard down (slightly) when Kant was being goofy (like during the dance sequence in Ep 2) or when Kant was dealing with the disgusting teacher in Babe’s school.

3) Also love that after Bison agreed to become Kant’s boyfriend despite him “not 100% trusting” Kant - he immediately dropped his sweet unassuming nature. From the casual way he asked Kant whether there was anything else he is hiding from him? To him showing his jealously streak and warning Kant not to mess around with him 😂 - I’m very amused by Bison saying he will make Kant into burgers if he cheats on him 🫣

4) I also love the vulnerability that Fadel showed in this episode - his outburst at the creepy farm place (really Fadel? Of all places!!) was beautifully done and emotionally charged. Such a contrast to their cold intimacy in the spare room!

5) I am also in awe of Style tenacity and his self- awareness (I can’t help but cackle how he keeps reminding Kant and us, how handsome he is!). While yes, he did agree to hit on Fadel because of Kant’s car - I truly believe he does have some sort of feeling (or at the very least, attracted to this broody hot man). And he is certainly intrigued by him! It will be interesting to see how he is going to cope now that he knows Fadel is a hitman. It seems he is slightly regretting it already with what we see at the end of ep 4. However, Style is bold and appears to adapt quickly. I get the feeling he will bounce back and be his usual gutsy self in no time.

6) I’m also intrigue with the underlying mystery of their next target and how it ties with Fadel/Bison’s parents being killed. I personally do not think he is responsible for the death of their parents - although it does seems Madam Lilly wants them to think that way? I might be wrong but I really do think Madam Lilly controls the narrative on what is being presented to our brothers and I suspect some of the killings she has presented to them are actually not really “bad people”.

Anyway, I remained obsessed with this show. Can’t wait for episode 5! We have our double dates (and it really seems to be the calm before the storm…either way, I’m here for the ride!)

The Heart Killers Ep 5 & 6 Random

In no particular order, some thoughts:

I kind of love how everyone thinks that James will show Bison the "truth" of who Kant is, and it turns out that he's just kinda hung up on him because Kant was sweet to him and took care of him when no one else did. Yep, that's sure gonna work to show Bison how much he should stay away from Kant.

Also, Bison's whole "this isn't about Kant it's about you being a stalker" thing is probably only half true - for someone who didn't care that he was hanging around Kant he sure seems focused on it, and why. Although there's the whole "my boyfriend's stalker who has added me to his routine might accidentally find out I murderize people" thing. That could be inconvenient.

Fadel is so baby I adore him. Like sometimes he just looks so small and soft and vulnerable and I'm just like come here bb, lemme protect you.

I love Style's dad

I say again, I love Kant's relationships with everyone, but especially Babe. They're so great Babe lying for Kant without hesitation was amazing, 10/10. Is that weird? Don't care. I also like that when Kant told Babe it was better if he didn't know what he was mixed up in Babe just went with it, because he trusts Kant. I dunno I am just weak for that kind of thing I guess. Also First Kanaphan.

Speaking of, my gosh is he hot as Kant. I don't talk about it much because it would just be constant, but there's something about Kant man. I'm really gonna mourn this guy when they do their next show

Kant and Style knowing how gone they both are but doing the thing anyway is also great. Look, I know I mock Kant regularly for being an inept informant - he's bad at it, it's true - and I know I'm also supposed to be more concerned with him betraying Bison than the fact that Bison and Fadel are literal killers (to be fair I'm not really concerned with that either - it's hard to take it seriously when the show obviously doesn't either). Unfortunately, Kant is hot, I am easy, and I eat it up every single time he makes that pretty conflicted face of his. I love the conflict between what he wants v. what he has to do and I'm pretty delighted that he's choosing to go this far

Captain Christ is also extremely inept. Like, for real. You are tall and pretty sir but I genuinely do not know how you are keeping your job

Mother Lilly remains the only thinking person in the room. That's extremely sexy of her no notes

Love that one of the J's got himself a boyfriend. And hilariously my friend is starting to recognize the J's - we've seen enough shows for that now, lol.

Last but not least, because this is getting too long: while I do think that both these pairs fit each other extremely well, I especially love Style for Fadel. Yes, he started pursuing him to get a car and yes, they're gonna eventually have to reckon with that (plus the hitman thing maybe, although as I said before the show doesn't actually put weight on this at all so I'm not holding my breath lol), but the thing about Style is that he is so completely himself all the time that even when he's bullshitting it's easy enough to see through. And he's helping my darling Fadel, who has spent his entire life since his parents' murder hiding himself away and only letting it out while alone (and even then probably feeling like he's doing something naughty), to realize that it's okay to let go. It's making my heart hurt like almost nothing in this show has managed thus far and I need it to stop, please, because I don't want to have to start taking this show seriously (don't stop show this is the good shit I love it)

Okay that wasn't last. Last is that Fadel's reaction to finding out for sure that Style was working against him was so good and so painful. Oh, honey. Regardless of what the preview says I know better than to believe that you'll be able to hurt that man. Bison on the other hand would probably quite happily kill Kant only to regret it bitterly after the fact. If this were another show, anyway.

MUNCHFLIX - STREET FIGHTER (1994)

IMDB BLURB:  Col. Guile and various other martial arts heroes fight against the tyranny of Dictator M. Bison and his cohorts.

WARNINGS: Violence and just a whole lot of fucking weird shit

RATING: 20 Billion BisonDollars

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: All reviews are done solely for humor and should not be taken seriously ever. If you cannot handle cursing, crude humor and probably some offensive things, pls do not read this.

Munch: So we're here again with the muthafuckin' street fighter movie which is so fucking great. Everything about this is absolute garb but it's so much fun. Raul Julia is putting his entire pussy into this absurd performance. Jean Claude Van Damme is the most hilarious "American" I've ever seen. His accent is so thick it hurts.

Biscuits: My opening thoughts are 'I'm eepy', okay?? (Biscuits is sleep-deprived again)

Dib: This movie was shot in a whole ten weeks and allegedly Jean Claude Van Damme was blasted off his ass on coke during the filming of this movie.

M: Watching his performance, I'm not at ALL shocked by that. ANYWAY. We open on uh...a really intense opening credit scene with a news reel talking about how bad M. Bison played by Raul Julia ( may he rest in peace ) is. Chun Li is reporting? Because she's a reporter in this?

B: Allied Nations, is this world war three???

M: Sort of, M. Bison is kind of the dictator

D: There's our man! I guess we just have like a hostage pit in M. Bison's doom dome? I forgot how shit the acting was. Raul was also years into battling stomach cancer when this was filmed.

M: VanDamme shows up as Guile and threatens Bison on the air which goes pretty well, you can't even understand his fucking accent.

B: I keep feeling phantom ants, like a meth addict. What is happening??

D: A lot, it doesn't slow down.

M: I'm trying to summarize but this goes like 100 mph. We've been introduced to Chun Li and Charlie and Blanka who are the same person, shut up, and E. Honda and DJ and Cami played by Kylie Minolgue.

D: Charlie and Blanka are different people in the game.

B: I don't understand what's going on

D: M. Bison has taken hostages and he wants 20 billion dollars from the government.

B: WHAT government???

D: THE government. Basically he wants it from Guile (vandamme) And now we're gonna be introduced to Ryu and Ken at a random street fight in a barbed wire electrified cage

B: These are Ryu and Ken??

Y’know, Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter...

D: And Vega, who kinda looks like his character. And that's Sagat. Sagat and Ryu and Ken have historical beef but not in this movie.

M: This is so much to take in. I guess Sagat is trying to get Ryu and Ken to help him sell guns.

B: So this white guy and this asian guy meet Barack Obama in some weird asian nightclub and they throw tennis balls at them and now they're fighting.

D: This will be the only fight for like...an hour. Meanwhile in Shadaloo? We're back with M. Bison. In this movie, Dhalsim is not a yogi, he's just a scientist? They couldn't do the stretchy limbs thing but come on.

B: They are just firing characters at us!

D: Canonically Blanka is just a weird guy, not some super soldier they created in a lab??? And definitely not Charlie.

M: Back to Dhalsim and M.Bison who is torturing BlankaCharlie with nazi propaganda and stuff to make him BAD. Also Zangief is here staring confusedly in the background, which he does the entire movie and I love him so much.

You can tell he’s being brainwashed because he’s wearing one of those photo-viewer toys from the 90s.

B: FUCKING OTTER POP JUICE LABELLED MUTAGENS DO NOT TOUCH! Can we fucking slow down please??

D: No! this movie does not. Now we're starting with another street fight between Vega and Rye-u or Ryu, it changes constantly.

B: I've seen better acting in a porno.

D: Ken looks like he belongs in a porno. Everyone is shirtless and the audience is horny.

B: That is not a real sword.

M: They could not afford real weapons.

B: When you don't have the money to score your movie, you can just throw in royalty free classical pieces! It’s not lazy or distracting at all!

D: But the fight is interrupted by a tank with Guile in it, and also 800 phone calls from Munch's mother.

M: That's not a joke, she’s called six times in the past half hour. Anyway, it's Guile. He's here with some guys that will not be relevant at all to the rest of the movie except maybe Cami but even then....and there's a spy guy.

B: Is that what spies do?? they just jump up in the middle of meetings and attack?? That's some good cold war espionage right there. What? Ken and Ryu are in jail eating scrambled eggs. That wasn't even a grammatically correct sentence.

D: Back in jail, they're all fighting for some reason.

M: Why?

D: I don't know. Guile is watching from above and back in Charlie's tickle basement, BlankaCharlie is being tortured again and there was a scream when his mouth was closed. Dhalsim is not happy with their methods though so he's gonna make CharlieBlanka look at nice things? they're making CharlieBlanka really swole by showing him bad things? and injecting him with dna otter pop mutagen.

I had to put an image in here of this shit to show you just how much it looks like otter pop juice.

M: Makes perfect sense. Back at the movie! Refugee camp with uh...the allies?

D: Here's ken and ryu and van damme

M: I guess he JUST broke them from prison?

D: Ryu and Ken are not criminals.

M: Just lovers.

D: No Ken is married. Not to Ryu.

B: Yeah, I've never heard of a married gay man.

M: Guile's accent is murdering me, his one liners are just so bad. So so bad.

D: Ken and Ryu fake beef for some reason. Vega hasn't said a single word in this movie. Oh they were stealing the keys.

B: They just throw the keys up in front of everyone, just show em off.

D: And then Ken gives Sagat and Vega the keys anyway but now there's a prison break.

B: I like how the Allied nation guys just have like random flags on them

D: Well technically that's supposed to be where they're from. Guile is shooting down a van but he just got shot.

B: What is the PLOT of this movie right now???

D: Chun Li does an epic dodge roll and there's shooting and then Ken and Sagat kiss. Just kidding. GUILE IS DEAD.

M: He's not though. There's medics, and now elephants back in Shadaloo. M. Bison is making a mini replica of Bisonopolis because he's gotta have a monument to his ego. Chun Li is reporting again about how bad Bison is and how Guile is dead. For real.

Reports have been coming in of a man posing as a health inspector in order to obtain free food.

D: DJ also didn't work for Shadaloo. Raul Julia M Bison's the hell out of this.

B: Is that what you want, M. Bison? Because I'm really confused about what your actual motivation is.

D: He's about to explain it.

B: So the evil leather daddy nazi wants to create an army of super soldiers to save everyone by...killing everyone?

M: Zangief sheds a tear and says Bison's speech was beautiful. He is my favorite. Everyone's alliances here are very suspect. There's a curfew now and stuff. Bad things are happening.

B: Why does Bison needs 20 million for this?

D: I don't know. Chun Li is apparently really a spy. Or a ninja. Or both.

B: She puts on like a bad balaclava and then she just like stealths up into the AN headquarters. Very sneaky. Apparently to sneak you just walk sideways in a black jumpsuit and put your hands up like oooooh.

D: She's got her very loud tracking thing and she's in the morgue, which is empty save ONE dead guy, being Guile. It's full of wet specimens in jars like any good morgue.

B: Oh fuck he's dead. I was so emotionally invested in this character.

M: I like how they just left him in his clothes. Like you do with dead bodies. No autopsy for Guile. He immediately has Chun Li arrested. She's got a sad backstory about how she wants to kill Bison for reasons.

B: I like the random classroom skeleton in the morgue. What war?? Is this just Shadaloo against the entire world?

D: Yep!

B: All the action sequences are so bad, she's just like speed walking away.

D: meanwhile at an illegal gun auction in Shadaloo....

M: Bison is sitting there while ppl who are definitely NOT Honda and Chun Li and Balrog in costume are performing. How did they get there? We don't know. Everyone is just in Shadaloo in a one kilometer radius but Bison doesn't notice.

D: and now Ken is horny for Chun Li but DJ is also horny for...someone. Ken is gonna get kidnapped.

M: Zangief is here, my special boy.

D: Ken is gonna get beaten by Chun Li because he's a scrub. Canonically.

B: Whoah pilot, I'm not that kinda guy. Bison and Sagat are getting a little too close.

D: Bison gives Sagat an entire case of "Bison Money" and says that it will be worth five times the pound when he kidnaps the queen. Which is a great line. Sagat gets mad.

B: Thanks for that backstory, now we know that Honda and Balrog were a sumo wrestler and a boxer. Someone should have told them they didn't need to put every single fucking character from the game in the movie.

M: But they did. Chun Li is planning to blow the entire place to smithereens and she left a fucking video message to let them know about it because that's smart. QUICK, CHANGE THE CHANNEL! says zangief. He is so dumb and we love him.

D: there goes the entire budget

B: They had to buy so many bootleg fireworks for that one scene, it must’ve cost them like 20 whole dollars. Well, 20 dollars in 1994 money, so that’s like $2 million in today's money.

D: I don't really know what Ryu and Ken even do in this movie

M: I don't think they really do anything.

B: This feels like the climax of the movie but we're only 40 minutes in.

D: This movie is a non stop climax. Meanwhile in space....we're gonna geolocate M. Bison with some bullshit tech.

M: Shouldn't be hard to find everyone, they're all in the SAME PLACE. Somehow Ken and Ryu are now M Bison's personal friends for turning in Chun Li and her friends. We don't to see how any of this happened.

D: Balrog and Honda are going to the sex dungeon while Bison goes to personally sexually harass Chun Li.

B: I can't parse if what you're saying is true

M: No it's all true.

B: Ken has to tell the audience who the good guys are

M: Guile is back at the base giving his men a speech about getting into Bison's secret hideout.

B: Their only option is ONE single boat to get into Bison's ancient ruin hideout, okay.

D: meanwhile E. Honda is getting a spanking and he is no selling it. He looks bored.

This is not a scene from a porno, I swear

M: Lots of experience getting lashes. Honda is gonna pull the chain right out of the wall because he's fucking swole. Zangief's accent isn't horrible, he's giving Ken and Ryu new oufits.

D: Ken's chest is covered because he's not actually buff. They're gonna just somehow communicate the two halfs of the map they saw? And here's Guile's speech which is so bad that his lips don't match because Van Damme was so out of it they had to overdub it

M: Guile tells a man he doesn't have balls and then he gets fired but it's fine because only Guile can fight Bison. The war is cancelled. No big.

D: He gives such an inspirational speech that everyone becomes war criminals and they're gonna go after Bison

M: I thought only one guy could get in there?

D: They're gonna follow him I guess. Guile gets in the bat boat mobile and he's gonna go kill Bison.

B: The real UN would've just been like - Please stop being a dictator or we're gonna write a stern letter.

M: Back in Bison's bedroom he's got Chun Li dressed like Chun Li and he's changed into his sex hat and sex robe and he's making an evil martini while Chun li exposits all over everyone about her tragic past.

B: In movies they have a thing called tell don't show, because why would you show something when you can just have someone tell us everything.

D: Back with Ken and Ryu and Honda and Balrog who have broken out but I guess they don't realize they're on the same side.

B: I do want Bison's giant bone chandelier. Hey do you wanna see my chandelier and my painting from John Wayne Gacy? ( that's really in there )

( No, really )

M: Chun Li is still fucking talking about how Bison murdered her dad and girl, he does not care. He's the bad guy. Bison knows women though and he's like, you are harmless. But that's what she wanted him to think!

D: she casually breaks her handcuffs and kicks Bison's ass by kicking him twice. Bison pretty good at fighting, actually.....OH NO THE GAS G-GAS GAS

M: What kind of gas? Who knows! Bison escapes in his uh...evil elevator?

D: Back in Guile's boatmobile, which is his because he has his name on it.

B: Can this movie just....pick a struggle...

M: Nope! and now for the needle drop with Guile's little home video of him and Charlie and then we're back with Blanka who looks like the Lou Ferrigno hulk

D: time for more evil with Blanka. But anyway Dhalsim is gonna give Blanka some nice asmr videos.

B: I love the way fake techy computer stuff looked in the 90's

D: they show him dolphins and weddings and babies and happy things. By the way, the entire Blanka storyline is completely irrelevant.

M: no it's true, nothing ever comes of it at all. I don't now why they put it in the movie. I don't know why they put most of this in the movie. Only Zangief.

D: Speaking of Zangief...he's here. Vega says his one line. I guess everyone got caught again. Oh they got gassed in the room. So now back with Guile they're gonna stealth mode, which changes literally nothing.

M: They just machine gun down all of Bison's sensors. Dj's accent tells us that something verrrrry strange is going on in the river, it's the invisible boatmobile!

D: Anti Guile alarm! Apparently they have an anti stealth mode. So now they're gonna get out M. Bison's big special boy floating platform with video game controls on it. Zangief looks around confused that Guile is alive.

M: all zangief does is look confused until the end. Bison is unsurprised Guile is alive and he's gonna kick everyone's ass whenever Guile and Cami and whoever else get there but apparently he's just gonna press buttons and use underwater mines.

D: Bison blows up the boat but somehow Guile and everyone get out. Insert coin to continue. meanwhile they realize Dhalsim has been beaming good vibes into Blanka's head and they accidentally release Blanka but he's full of good vibes now.

Yes, he does actually look this goofy.

B: They've just made a guy who's addicted to television.

D: Blanka in all his receding hairline glory is gonna save Dhalsim. the only thing he really does in the entire movie. So here's some Shadaloo guys getting beat up by Guile and T Hawk and Cami so they can finally infiltrate the secret aztec base.

M: Everyone is soooo stealthy. they just walk around and beat guys up. Good thing they have a sewer grate into the secret base. Guile and Co fall into a hole.

D: They're finally starting to look like their actual character counterparts. The movie is mostly over.

M: Bison's account has ZERO DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS. Now he's gonna get mad. I wonder if he'd accept Bison Bucks instead of the 20 million.

Relatable.

D: Probably. OPEN THE HOSTAGE CHAMBER. Guile has broken into this place in 20 seconds, directly into the Blanka chamber.

M: Why do they just have an aquarium. And he finds Blanka and somehow immediately knows he's Charlie even though he doesn't look at all like Charlie. Blanka grunts a lot.

D: CharlieBlanka sad.

B: That was easy! Guile is just gonna shoot him, but Dhalsim stops him.

D: Bison is like why have I not been paid? Bro, you're asking 20 billion.

M: Who even are these hostages, are they worth 20 billion?

B: Who even fucking knows??? Raul Julia is CHEWING the scenery

M: I love it. he's giving 30000 percent.

B: What is the point of this blanka shit? Why is this even in the movie?

M: they're gonna send Guile instead of Blanka I guess, even though Guile isn't a super soldier.

B: I love Zangief, he just stands around looking so confused. I feel that.

D: Guile does a 20 foot leap and drop kicks Bison who orders people to shoot the hostages and now everything is happening so much

B: Everything has been happening so much since it started

D: Everyone gets more naked and the AN is here and E Honda and Zangief are gonna fight for 20 minutes.

M: I wish that was all that happened. Guile is now outside shooting people somehow and I don't now where Bison is.

D: Honda bodyslams Zangief through a secret passage. So Bison finds out Blanka was being programmed to be good and he punches out the screen and now the allied forces are here and Ken kinda almost does a shoryuken.

M: This fight lasts the rest of the movie. Bison is like, DJ and I willl face defeat together and DJ is like, yeah I'm out. Ken is kind of an asshole in this movie. Rye-u and ken get mad and Ryu goes back to save people even though he's not getting paid.

D: This movie is a non stop car accident. Blanka is destroying things while Dhalsim yells. The smoke machine broke and Guile is shooting people and nobody knows where Bison is, including us.

M: But he's not! He's gonna call Guile out and they're gonna fight in man to man combat!

D: Guile has the american flag tattoo! They're gonna street fight.

M: If his run in with Chun Li is any indicator, this should be easy. they show a video of Zangief and Honda destroying the model of Bisontopia with godzilla noises. I love this show. Bison and Guile are still fighting. Props to Raul Julia for fighting in that fucking outfit.

D: Balrog suddenly has his boxing skills back.

B: Where are the hostages?? In the hostage pit! Where do you think they are???

D: M. Bison has died.

B: He gets thrown into a control panel and dies.

D: No we haven't climaxed yet

B: ....but....fuck....whut...I think I've had an aneurysm.

D: Bison life support activated!

B: he has life alert!

D: His suit administers cpr, and now he's gonna use ELECTRICITY!

M: Meanwhile DJ is gonna grab a treasure chest that Bison has in his locker and get out. Ken is also looking for treasure but all he finds is a statue and a bad computer screen with icons but he does see Rye-u and yells at him. It's a trap!

D: Ryu gets ambushed by Sagat and Vega

B: I forgot they were in this movie

D: Bison is gonna fly.

B: Hold up *whispers* just for like...one second please.....WHAT. Why has the climax of this movie been happening for 80 minutes?

D: He's gonna fly. With superconductor electromagnetism. Yanno.

He’s playing the bass and I’m flyin’! (Editor’s note: how many times have I made this fucking joke?)

M: I love Raul Julia so fucking much though oh my god. I miss him. Oh yeah Ken and ryu are fighting and shit and people are losing their shirts.

D: He kinda did a Hadouken. Ryu is gonna burn Vega in the incinerator but only a mild burn

M: Ken and Ryu unsuprisingly win and now they're gonna go to Dizzkneeworld. Bison is just flying all over and shooting lightning at Guile but he's got BIG KICKS and he launches Bison into the screens and he explodes.

B: Oh shit the energy field is unstable!!! Oh shit!

M: Balrog punches open the hostage room. Zangief and Honda are STILL fighting but Honda is like welll I gotta run and Zangief is like DJ! Come fight with me! And DJ is like dude Bison is the fucking villian. Zangief is again confused. Bison is a bad guy???? You got....paid??? He is best boy.

D: Oh no the blast doors are gonna close! How are we gonna get out?? Oh it's ZANGIEF! Who somehow got outside and he's holding the door open and he's also much more naked. And now we're back with Dhalsim who is now bald and mostly naked and he's like nah I'll take CharlieBlanka out, we're fine.

B: WheaheIyeah???

D: And then the evil temple blows up and Cami and Chun Li kiss. Not really. All the Shadaloo henchmen are giving up

M: Zangief stands there proudly as a new good guy.

D: Sagat and DJ escape and now Sagat is shirtless but the treasure is actually BisonBucks

M: Everyone thinks Guile is dead but he's not and everyone is so happy to see him

B: He's been an asshole this whole time.

M: Everyone is good guys now!! And everyone is fine with that I guess. Chun Li and Guile have a little something something but it's kinda gross

D: Why is everyone horny for Chun Li?? Me at the entire Street Fighter Community.

B: Why is it still exploding?

M: The energy field

B: BUT WHY?? THIS WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE UNTIL THE VERY END!! IT MAKES NO SENSE! ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT HAS A MELTDOWN??? WHAT THE FUCK IS THE ENERGY FIELD???

D: What happened to Blanka and Dhalsim? We'll never know

B: I don't know what happened, period. What the fuck is going on.

D: This is the most insane movie I've seen in my entire life. The breakneck pace does not stop, it starts at an 11 and goes up to a 14 real quick and stays there. Zangief is best boy,

B: w...what? I don't have anything else to say. What was any of that???? What? Why?

M: You're looking for meaning where there is none. It's beautiful chaos.

B: I will say one thing...there's NEVER a dull moment. Not a single one. You're not given a second to be bored.

D: How many stars would you give this movie?

B: Mayonnaise.

my rdr2 OC

Bergrós Lilja Mánadóttir

Bergrós Lilja Mánadóttir: bɛrkrouːs Lɪːlja Mauːnatouʰtɪːr

Rough translation: Mountain-Rose Lily Moon's daughter

(art by me)

Ramblings about my character and her story below the cut

Design

Inspirations:

upper left: Alice White

upper right: unfinished first concept of Bergrós by me

Lower right: Clara Bow

Lower left: Elena, a model for Voriagh

When I was designing Bergrós, I wanted for her to look like a person, like she could actually belong in the game, she has smile lines, eye bags, and moles. Not gonna deny that she isn't sorta a self-insert so I can indulge in my fantasies with Charles, can you really blame me?

I wanted her to have big eyes, I was really inspired by 1920s beauty standards. Big eyes, small, pouty lips, I also decided that she would have plump cheeks and a soft jawline and as you can see, she's had that kinda nose (straight nose with a nose bump?) since I started designing her.

One major change would be the eye and hair color, I changed it because I wanted to.

Character/Backstory

I'm Icelandic, and I can't make an OC without including my culture, so she's an Icelandic immigrant. (Which is historically accurate, look up Vesturfarar)

I'm writing a story, and my plan for her character arc is for her to start out sorta shy and meek, almost typical "small and tiny y/n" but I PROMISE that's not all she is.

The gist is, I want the only real change to be confidence. She's opinionated, passionate, kinda hotheaded and smart from day one, she just doesn't think she is or doesn't think that people want to listen or will listen, so she holds her tongue, and as the story progresses she starts to realise her strengths and starts being louder, firmer, but she's still super sweet and kind, like she doesn't lose that completely.

Also she's bad at english at the start of the story, because she's only been in America for maybe a year and a half but as the story progresses she improves, esp after the timeskip.

I want her to be just barely less reserved than Charles, she definitely talks more than him and initiates most conversations but they also have their quiet moments.

I personally hc Charles as autistic, I'm not diagnosed or anything but I definitely have traits, and I want them to have a quiet moment together in Clemens Point while they're both overstimulated, idk just something really sweet.

Random Factoids

Her favourite fruit is apples

She's scared of heights

Her favourite animal is bison, she likes their build, thinks it's silly

Before she came to America it was ravens

Kinda likes Pearson's stew, she's had worse

! SPOILER RDR2 STORY !

(rambling about my plans for my Canon x OC fic, fight me)

my fic:

(also don't read if you don't want spoilers for my fic ig, if you’re really, really interested because that's all this section is)

So she and Charles have a itsy bitsy romance right? and they're both reserved so it's all slow. My idea is that her and Charles kiss right before the big bank robbery in Saint Denis, after that, basically everything goes to shit for the next days/weeks so they don't really have time to really figure their feelings out before they get seperated for the seven years between the story and the epilogue.

And in these 7 years, Bergrós (nicknamed Rosie by the gang, Rosa by Javier) has a ton of shit happen to her in those seven years (obvi) I'm talking maybe Pinkerton kidnapping, attacks, bounty hunting, all that.

And by the end she's had to become this rugged and harsh persona to survive, (I mean being an nomad woman ain't easy)

(I also have a little idea of her being called like "the desert rose" or smth because she's had become this ruthless outlaw/nomad and I think she spends most of the 7 years in mexico or by the boarder and obvi not a lot of red heads there but Idk might be a little cringe)

By the time John and co come to Beecher's Hope she's also in the area and kinda watches over them, because she doesn't know how to approach them (esp Charles, she still loves him but she doesn't know if he still loves her and the potential hurt makes her hesitate to reach out)

And I kinda want her to be forced to reach out. Maybe she gets hurt badly by the skinner brothers and the Marstons and co are the only ones close enough that she trusts to help. And there's a sweet little reunion but...

What if I add an extra layer of conflict 😼

What if, she's still hesitant to talk out whatever is between her and Charles, and then in American venom (which she comes along for, duh), Charles mentions going to Canada and get a wife and whatevs and she gets all jealous in the sad way, like its some confirmation that he doesn't want her.

And she gets super sad and distances herself from him for a while blah blah blah, eventually Charles corners her and they work it out.

The rest would just be them building their life in Canada.

Side note: I'm also thinking of doing a chapter or two about Charles's 7 years post-gang? I've been writing a little and I feel kinda confined to following the script of the game and whatever so headcanoning and making stuff up might be more fun. Maybe I'll get better as I keep writing, this is my first time doing it after all.

Also, she does have friendships with other characters, don't worry, her life doesn't revolve around Charles lol. She's friends with the girls, Arthur, Javier, Sean, Uncle, and Hosea.

I'm really worried that my friend's account might get banned >_<

I just bought Red Dead Redemption 2 recently. My friend played the main game years ago, but it's also her first time playing the online mode

Yesterday night, there was a random player going around killing everyone. He'd meticulously target certain players and keep killing them

We are both very low level, and I was really scared he'd do that to us too >_<. So I kinda pleaded with this player in a jokey RP-ish way like you wouldn't shoot two defenceless girls, right mister?

This guy suddenly decided to be nice and offered to escort us to Saint Denis. I was scared to say no, so yeah 😐

But really weird things started to happen. Bison were suddenly appearing in front of us as we rode

I was using the live map. Bison shouldn't be appearing where we were??? And animals were so hard to find, but literally more than 10 bison appeared

I couldn't complete the daily task cos I couldn't find any bison at all... so it's weird so many were appearing

And there was a chest with a lot of gold in it. I immediately felt something was off, so I didn't take the gold... but my friend took it >_<

I just read online that the "outlaw" we encountered was likely a modder >_<

And my friend is freaking out now cos people apparently got banned for taking gold from modders >_<

[hurlumerlu]

Before anything else, op, I would like to apologize about how I'm so not overanalizing everything under your post. Now that that's done, I think that in your second screenshot Bison's wearing this exact outfit (down to the undershirt and necklace):

and we see in the picture below that the person he's confronting under the neon sign is pretty tall (taller than him, it seems)

It's the same Bison outfit, and the same neon sign, that in your second screenshot, so we can assume it's the same scene, but Kant's brother seems smaller than him (sure, he's kinda cowering in your third screenshot, but he still seems to have a very different silhouette than the person Bison is threatening in my screenshot) so while Bison might be comfronting Kant's baby bro in your first and third screenshot, I don't think he's saying "you really gotta try me, uh?" to him.

First I thought he might be saying it to Kant, if only because I would like to see it, but the silhouette in my second screenshot is wearing a dark top, and Kant is wearing a light one during the date where Bison wears that outfit, so... could it be Fadel? We know he, at least, wears a lot of black. But would Bison point a gun at his brother? Especially the way he seems to do it in my screenshot, right against the temple like that?

(it could also be some random mook. or the third killer brother. or it's kant and he changed clothes. or bison wears the same outfit two different days.)

But back to Kant's brother (or maybe not)

These feet walk on screen right after you took the screenshot:

I think these could be bowling shoes (even if the heel and overall shape is a bit weird for that, but I'm no bowling shoes connaisseur) but if it's not they seem to me like *very* Kant shoes to wear, and he does wear trousers of a similar color as the one in this screenshot... during the date where Bison wears the afforementioned outfit.

Coincidence? Uh, yeah maybe. But if it's not, then it's not Bison grabbing the gun, and probably not Kant's brother on the floor. As for your third screenshot, well, I've got nothing! But I think that based only on the trailer, Kant's baby brother is a little bit safer from Bison than you fear.

in deep fear about the person bison is confronting here being kant’s little brother btw.

[webslingingslasher]

all my thoughts are on sweet peter parker that brings you to the zoo

 no, no, no….. READER takes peter to the zoo

If you took someone out for a night, say,  to a party and they asked ‘hey, what time are we going home?’ and you say, “I dunno, soon.” and when you leave maybe you tell them to stop somewhere else, and they're like, ‘hey, when are we gonna get home?’ and you say “I dunno, soon though.” and they stick it out until they say 'hey, when are you thinking of heading out?’ You’ll get the hint you want to leave. 

So, after the third time you found clues about the Bronx zoo you had to assume peter was silently begging you to take him. 

The first time was a tiktok, he had shoved his phone in your face to show you a video of the new baby elephant that was just born, his voice pitched and babyish, “baby, look how widdle she is, she’s a tiny widdle baby and don’t you wanna just go see her?” You awed at the cute animal and nodded, “adorable petey, can you please get your elbow off my boob?” 

He grumbled under his breath and went back to swiping mindlessly. 

The second time was a brochure, he brought back three crumpled pamphlets from patrol, immediately flying in and ripping his mask off before presenting them. A wide, windless smile spread across his face, “look what I was given,” peter presented you with the zoo one, the others clutched in his grasp. He stood on tiptoes and bobbed his head around to see your reaction, his hands twisting the others. “I think there’s a coupon in there too, I didn’t get a good look so, you know.” 

You nod your head, “buy one ticket, get one half off,” you snort, “only sixty bucks, babe!” You pull the paper down, “what are the others?” Peter has to look down at them, he just grabbed random ones, “uh, medicaid on senior living and a uh, free anal bleaching.” 

“Are you trying to tell me you want to go to the zoo?” 

“Where would you get that idea? I just like sharing a good deal when I see it.” 

The third time was when he was spilling animal facts out, ecstatic and rambling about how cute fennec foxes are, not to mention how cool the matschie's tree kangaroo is, he claims it’s like a sloth and a kangaroo had a baby, which is pretty cool.  

Funny enough, all the animals he’s boasting about are featured at the Bronx zoo. 

You caught the hint. 

So, when he causally brought it up for the fourth time you nodded along excitedly. 

“And, when I went down there with May we passed by the zoo. It was massive, you should’ve seen it. I swear I saw a giraffe too.” 

“So cool. What kinda animals do they have there again?” 

Peter’s face lit up, “oh my god, babe, so many.” He starts listing off as many as he could remember, you can’t help but match his smiles, his genuine excitement lights you with a fire. You slowly pull the tickets from behind your back, tucked in the waistline. 

He blinks at you proudly when he rattles off a majority of the animals, you bite your lip. 

“You know, they also have a bison.” 

Peter smacks his forehead, “how could I forget?” 

“Wanna go see ‘em?” you pull the tickets up, his jaw drops. A slight blush coats his cheeks, it may be a small gesture but it proved that you listened and cared and loved him. 

And the sixty bucks was so worth watching him gulp down red poweraid in his souvenir cup, donned in your matching commemorative shirts he bought for you both.

im finally rewatching ep 3 and i remembered that i meant to make a post abt how captain christ is sus as hell. as in this whole scheme he's got going with kant to me feels less like a legitimate (or as close to legit as it can be given the circumstances) investigation into a string of high profile murders and more like some kind of personal vendetta he has, maybe even w lilly specifically. and i have no basis for that other than how odd christ's reaction was when kant told him fadel and bison have different dads. idk the vibes are just off. there's something not right abt him. the whole situation stinks.

speaking of lilly tho i don't believe for one minute she's got her sons out there ridding the streets of bad men in some act of vigilante justice. bison literally calls it out in the first scene, saying that he'd seen their next target helping poor kids on the news or whatever. and yeah ok bad men often do good deeds, and ofc lilly uses that to try to belittle bison by saying that he's always been easily fooled by appearances. which is a little on the nose given the whole kant thing, but i think that actually the point was that she's referring to herself. as in she's the one doing the fooling this whole time w her conditional kindness and her weaponised warmth. helping poor kids while doing bad things behind the scenes. yknow. a common modus operandi in these circles i'm sure.

anyways my original point is that she tries to make out bison is naive and silly for even asking but at the same time the reasoning she offers them for why that guy has to die is vague as fuck. 'he's the man behind corruptions, drugs, human trafficking, and so much more'??? she might as well have said he steals food straight out of the mouths of the kids he claims to be helping too seeing as tho we're just saying shit. like girl cmon. you're an entrepreneur. i know you've trained those boys not to question you at all but lets try a little bit harder queen <3

i also do think lilly had smth to do w whatever happened to fadel's ex and that that might be why he lied to her when she asked if bison is seeing someone. at least partially. if he knows what she's capable of in that sense then he'd want to keep that shit under wraps, not for kant's sake but for bison's. i've said it before but bison's ignorance only exists bc fadel has worked his ass off to keep it that way. i feel like fadel knows, or at least suspects, that lilly isn't the woman she wants them to believe she is. but ofc fadel isn't gonna tell bison that. ignorance is bliss, and even if it wasn't that's their mother. her and bison clearly have a (relatively) warm relationship. fadel wouldn't want to ruin that with the truth.

also i don't trust style's dad either. why include a character in the intro that is seemingly so unimportant? what the fuck is up with the whole 'boonterm' thing? style's dad is obviously at LEAST mechanic running in these 'bad guy' circles considering style had to drop off the secretary's car to her. which like. idk what kinda bougie ass mechanics rich ppl be having but having your car dropped off to you - by the mechanic's son no less - at some random host bar instead of having to go pick it up seems like special treatment. like maybe it's not just a simple mechanic/customer relationship yk

and u know what as i'm typing this i'm thinking about the spiderweb motif that occurs in the show, first in kant's tattoo and then with keen in the intro (and he has spiderweb tattoos too i think?) and how everyone speculated they may be exes and maybe they are. but like. i also think it's more than that. like i just think that in this show there are a lot of people caught in a lot of webs who haven't yet realised they're the fly, not the spider. yknow.

May 2023 Black Hills Trip

So I took a trip out to the Black Hills of western South Dakota and eastern Wyoming to play dorky tourist. Since I have way more than the ten pictures tumblr limits you for a photo post, I'm going to make a text post (plus also I wanted to talk about some of them.)

Warning: this is gonna be kinda long lol.

First stop, the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD:

Then Wall Drug in Wall, SD:

The next day we went over to Wyoming. I've been working on my own original story since I was a teenager and it takes place in Wyoming. When we were out there we happened to be quite close to the town I wanted to base my story off of. The town is a little one called Sundance. I took so many random pictures for references and to get a general feel for it. I also think the town of Deadwood would make a good base too, so I will probably merge some elements of both places together to make what I was going for. Most of the pictures weren't all that impressive, but here are some of the best ones from there:

Since it was close by, we went over to Devils Tower as well. The funniest thing there was a conversation I overheard between a little boy and his dad. The kid was asking why there was so much stuff with aliens, and the dad replied, in the most Wyoming accent: "Because they're fixin' to take you."

Next we took our sweet time getting our butts over to see Mount Rushmore and stopped to stare at the scenery along the way:

The next day we did less touristy things and took the scenic route through Spearfish Canyon. This was in the morning and it had rained the night before and it was gorgeous:

We also went up to Flag Mountain Camp, a summer camp that my brother works at. He has an adorable new puppy too:

Then we went through Custer State Park and got to see a bunch of animals. I got good pictures of a burro and a coyote, but we also saw a snake, bison, deer, and pronghorn antelope:

The Heart Killers Ep 4 Random

Bison falling asleep on top of Kant and Kant having to free himself from his bindings will never not be funny. Kant is low key tied for favorite with Fadel but this is what he deserves, imo

Yes, Kant, I'm sure Christ is going to care about Bison's drawer of sex toys and his dream wall. Such evidence. Just admit those pictures are for you and that you're very reluctantly starting to see Bison as a person already

I hate that First has chemistry with everyone because I'm always sitting here wanting Kant to make out with everyone and I know it's not happening. Rude. A slight against me personally

Fadel looking everywhere for Style is great. Of course he managed to annoy him into liking him. And Style's dad knowing that and not even being surprised is hilarious. That man knows his son

I know that there has to be some deliberate blindness happening for Bison w/r/t Kant but some of the stuff Fadel is pointing out is stuff he really should have thought of or noticed. It annoys me that they then try to make him seem so very observant later with Babe (especially with Kant seemingly having not the faintest). Not a ton, but a little bit

Kant in protective big bro mode is hot

I shouldn't be advocating for hitting minors but also, smack him again Kant

The bathroom fight should have been different. Kant I can kinda get because he was a thief, he probably knows more about running away than fighting, but Bison is a trained assassin and we JUST watched his brother take down three dudes without breaking a sweat. And even without that there's two of them and the gym teacher is also not a trained fighter. Neither of these chuckleheads is Batman. That's Fadel. I am more sure than ever that Bison lets him do all the real work lol

Speaking of Fadel, he and Style are the really freaky ones and I stand by that. Get it boys

I really do love Fadel's little speech to Style. That poor confused man, he's trying so hard to be heartless but it couldn't be clearer that he really isn't, and that he's half desperate to love and be loved. I adore him

Poor Freddie 2 can never catch a break

Kant telling Style when he does makes sense to me. Maybe before he thought not mentioning the hitman thing was protecting Style, or maybe he didn't think that far (or both. Probably it's both - he wasn't thinking so much as reacting and in some vague way he figured / justified himself by thinking that if Style didn't know, Fadel might not murderize him). Or maybe he thought it wouldn't have to get too involved. But now it is and also I think he tells Style to try to keep himself on track. Because between seeing that Bison has dreams beyond what he does and him helping Kant out with Babe (and calming him down when he was gonna storm in and start beating the shit out of teenagers for info lol - so big brother of him but a bad idea, yes), he's maybe losing sight of the goal a little. He was always reluctant, as I said before, but now it's worse because Bison's becoming less of a job to him maybe but it's still a job he's gotta do. So he thinks telling Style will give him back some perspective - that he'll rein Kant in a bit. Except Style is a whole freak and I don't think that's gonna be how it goes down once he has time to process, lol

Style freaking out just when Fadel wants to play at being very boyfie is hilarious and a little sad. My poor darling must be so confused

Bison finally giving Kant the coveted boyfriend title makes sense after the Babe thing, too. For one, as I said Kant's hot when he's in protective mode. For another, it's the most sincere he's been yet and he's toned down the love bombing, which is good. The dude doesn't realize this yet but basically the only way he gets the real Kant right now is through others and through moments like the one with Babe, and I do like that it's always after one of those moments that he stops playing his little flirty games too. it's a nice touch to show that underneath all the playing, the person that he is falling for is the real version, not the fake, slick one. And since Kant is starting to like Bison back for real, those moments will happen more and more

I said this before but First has maybe the hardest job right now. He has to walk a thin line where we the audience see through Kant but Bison can be forgiven for not seeing it, and he's doing so well. I don't think that most other actors could pull it off as well as he is - that could be my First Thing rearing it's head, but even if it is, I think we can all agree that First Kanaphan really is a master of subtle acting

Speaking of, I'm even more impressed with Joong than I was the first time. He's so good at the whole "pretending to be stoic while raging on the inside" it's insane. Fadel feels SO MUCH all the time and Joong does a great job of showing that

Okay I can't read Thai so maybe there's something I'm missing but I don't see how Fadel reached "this dude was totally involved in our parents' deaths" from two photos and a letter. Unless that letter was a detailed account of a hit

I'm wondering what the post you shared means by saying "cottagecore fantasies are colonial" I wish to live away from capitalistic societies, live a slower life, live sustainably and more aligned with nature, these seem like good wants. I feel like there must be something I am missing. Is it that I shouldn't have a land related wish at all on land that isn't mine? I'm genuinely curious pls help (if you have the time you are by no means obligated) have a nice day!

Even if your intentions are good or generally benign, you’d still be trying to escape capitalism via settling (yes, settling) on Indian Land, which would either be unceded & currently stolen by North American countries, or reserve/treaty land, which could potentially be chipped down by you simply being there. People are trying to live solitary lives in the woods without thinking about how their presence would affect Indigenous peoples, our land rights, or our sovereignty. Cottagecore is colonial fantasy because there’s nothing that seperates modern randos trying to do this and colonists who came to North America to do the same thing. Farming & homesteading was and IS used as a form of colonialism, which moniyaws would benefit from should they attempt to pursue it. Consider the following:

Canada would falsely advertise the Canadian prairies as “unused” land ready for the taking to European immigrants to encourage them to immigrate to Canada to replace the Plains Indian population. Like in this one, or this one, which was trying to depict the plains as being free of Buffalo and ready for cattle instead (hint: it wasn’t. there were skill plains Indians and bison around.)

Going off that, alongside the fur trade & white hunters nearly hunting the Bison population to extinction, farming was utilized as a forced way of life and assimilation to now-starving plains Natives. Our two choices were 1. starve and die off, or 2. assimilate and start farming. In Sarah Carter’s paper “Two Acres and a Cow”, she explains how Natives were set up for failure in farming by giving us shitty equipment, extreme restrictions on trading or selling produce, extreme restrictions on leaving reserves & denial of applying for credit. However, despite all this, a lot of Natives got pretty good at farming. Until white settlers complained of competition of course, and so the land that Natives had farmed was then given to said white settlers. This is why Alberta and Saskatchewan (known for our prairies and crops) have so much farmland and cropland. Because it was stolen from Natives, who got successful at it.

Despite all this, Plains Natives have been trying to decolonize and revitalize the Plains due to it being one of the most diverse, yet most endangered landscapes in the world. Prairie grasslands also absorb more CO2 & release more oxygen than trees. On top of that, the only reason the Bison populations had gone up to what they are now due to a humungous group effort by various Plains tribes across North America with bison ranches/sanctuaries. We eventually hope to be able to be nomadic or at least hunt Bison once again. Randos trying to farm & have ranches & shit kinda interferes with that. & there'd be people, of course, unwilling to let go of their ranches & farms & cottages in favour of our decolonizing (which is what's happening NOW) despite the fact that its. Our land. This is both entitled & colonial.

In fact, there's a whole swath of (white) people actually dedicated to stopping Bison ranches & sanctuaries in favor of farms & European ranches which. Speaks for itself.

A lot of reserves have also gotten chipped down in size due to random European immigrants and settlers just deciding to settle on reserve land without asking, so the land that they occupy suddenly becomes theirs. This happened to my reserve with some Irish hutterites that came. This absolutely does still happen, & if Natives try to contend with this the first excuse is always "But there's PEOPLE living there! The farms???"

The government LOVES random Moniyaws who want land to farm on so much that they "give away" land to people who ask sometimes. Without asking Natives, of course. See above point. You automatically have a privileged advantage with cottagecore fantasies because it directly plays into helping colonize us & displace us from our land.

Farms are also used against Native land claims when we're trying to legally "get back" what technically and legally should still be ours. Brazil is going through some similar issues right now.

And that's just a few things! Again, cottagecore is inherently colonial because there's literally no difference between it and what European settlers were doing back in the day. It plays a big part in our colonization & interferes with our efforts for decolonizing & land reclamation.
