Okay Per My Last Post (aka the poll about getting isekaied into a random Universe) here is how I would win getting Isekaied into the Mushroom Kingdom:

Step 1: Get a design that's suspiciously parallel to Rosalina's. It is ESSENTIAL that I become a counterpart to a member of the main recurring cast, and my best chance of lasting as long as possible comes from being the male counterpart to our one remaining princess. Other options include being adopted by Bowser as the 6th Koopaling, or becoming Wapeach, but I would like to remain a human male.

Also on the design notes: While I have to be a parallel to Rosalina, it is also essential that I keep the "just a guy-ness" the Mario bros have. It is essential to the dynamic.

*more under the cut*

Step 2: Show up in the next Mario DLC as a secret character that you unlock by clearing some stupidly difficult endgame challenge and beating a secret boss. Have a bunch of guides made about how to unlock me and become a beloved fan favorite. Theories abound about who I am and my role in the next Mario game. Because I am another guy in the roster, people start shipping me with Rosalina as a crack ship.

Step 2.5: Reprise my role as a secret character in another Mario game or a spinoff like Princess Peach Showtime. It is essential that a pattern be established of rescuing me from a secret boss. Nintendo must be committed to having me be in every game, even if I have to keep breaking the rules of the world to do it. I HAVE to keep being in the mainline games. Otherwise, Nintendo WILL forget about me. It's not me against the Mushroom Kingdom and its dangers. It's me against Nintendo.

Step 3: Show up in the next Mario Galaxy game as a playable character, again unlocked by beating some stupidly hard level and boss. THIS TIME THOUGH: Rosalina actually asks Mario to rescue me, further feeding the shipping fuel.

HOWEVER, there is a TWIST. After you unlock me, I will reveal a secret endgame set of levels that lets you unlock my backstory, where it is revealed that I am NOT Rosalina's lover, but instead the heir to her throne, and I get a magical girl transformation to distinguish myself from the bros. How does this work? Is she my mother? An adopted parent? A sibling? It is never explained, but all the shippers explode in horror. It is the greatest scandal to hit the Mario fandom since Chris Pratt in the Mario Movie. If I'm ever not in a game fans will riot.

(Alternatively, the entire game could be my proper introduction and lore like Galaxy 1 was for Rosie. I'm not picky, as long as I'm unique enough that I'm worth adding to DLC)

Step 4: Get added to the Mario Kart 9 DLC with Pauline because fans love me so much. At this point, I'm basically immortal because no matter what I do I will continue to show up for games. However, my magical girl transformation is a one-off fluke, and the fact I'm secretly a prince is never acknowledged again.

Step 5: Continue to be added to party game DLC until the release of Oddesy 2, where i have my own space kingdom with rosalina, similar to pauline and her kingdom. Mario can buy my magical girl outfit and he looks stunning.

Step 6: Profit.

Step 7: Accidentally do the gay hand thing (you know the one) in a promotional artwork, causing Nintendo America to apologize for promoting Gay Stereotypes on Twitter and take down the promo art. It remains up in Japan. Multiple news publications call me "Mario's first gay character" with varying inflections of 😡 or 🥰. Fail to get into smash for at least 5 games.

#long post #how the hell do i tag this #i might keep adding to this post if i think of new ways to force nintendo to love me #you may think this is self-inserty but listen if i was doing a self insert i would be luigi's ghost hunting boyfriend #all the lore is to win the hearts of the fans and become an essential character to add to DLC #it's all to get into mario kart

Spirits of Vengeance...

(4)- the Punisher (Jaune) - Dirty Laundry

(Inspired by "The Punisher : Dirty Laundry")

"DADDY!"

Jaune snapped awake, his right hand instinctively reached for the .44cal pistol he always slept with. His breathing came in ragged gasps, and sweat dotted his brow. Jaune set the pistol aside once he realized that he was alone. He took a couple of minutes to try and calm himself, his hands shaking as those final moments replayed in his mind.

Squeezing his eyes shut he swallowed and forced his mind away from the last time he saw hi wife, unborn child and daughter alive... right before the flames swept over them. Swallowing again, clenched his teeth together and focused ever bit of his anger and frustration forcing the memories to retreat into the dark edges of his mind.

Hiding his hand gun away, he pulled on a well worn and faded hoodie before stepping out of his current home. A battered black panel van. He felt the weight of his past pushing down on his shoulders as he made his way towards the nearby corner store.

"NO! No! Please!" came the pathetic pleas from a nearby ally. Jaune looked down the rubbish choked place only to see the backs of several people. They were faunus and human, and from the bandanas tied about their upper left arms probably members of some scummy street gang.

"Please!" came the pathetic and weak voice. "I won't do it again."

"Bitch that's right you won't..."

The sound of flesh striking flesh, caused Jaune to stop. His cold blue eyes narrowing. The sound happen a second and third time, but by this point a pain of the gang had noticed him.

"Hey! What you looking at?"

Jaune didn't answer as he sized up the group of six individuals.

"Since you won't answer my bro, how about you answer me?" the second young man sneered as he lifted the front of his shirt to reveal a pistol shoved in his waist band. "You like breathing?"

"Usually." Jaune answer without an inflection in his voice.

"Then get the fuck out of here."

Jaune eyed the pair one more time, before walking off as the sounds of flesh striking flesh and the cries of pain continued. The bell of the door to the corner store rang as he stepped inside. He was already formulating a plan as he stepped up to the counter and was greeted by the elderly deer faunus, who he assumed most likely owed the store.

"What can I get you?" she asked in a tired but welcoming tone.

Jaune let his eyes scan over the array of alcohol lining the shelves right behind the counter.

"We're having a sale on Schnee Brand Breakfast sandwiches."

"NO thank you." Jaune responded. "A bottle of Jack, please."

"Of course." she turned and took the requested item off the shelf and placed it on the counter before him. "47.25"

Jaune said nothing as he fished out the requested lien, and set it on the counter. The aged faunus swept the money of the counter and rang up the purchase, before digging out Jaune's change.

"Keep the change." Jaune spoke as he picked up the bottle and made to leave the store. "And call the Vale PD."

"Call the police?"

Jaune didn't answer the woman's question as he stepped out onto the street and made his way back towards the alley. He could hear laughter and chuckles as he closed. Tossing the bottle into the air, he spun it before catching it by the neck.

The Vale PD arrived about twenty minutes later, only to find the whole incident over. Half a dozen faunus and human gang members lay sprawled amidst the trash. All of them showing signs of severe blunt force trauma to their heads or faces.

"Call it in. Multiple homicide." the senior office told his partner. "We need investigators and the coroner."

The partner ran back to the patrol car, as the Senior office crouched done on his haunches as looked at the blood spattered still full bottle of alcohol laying in the middle of the carnage.

"Who the fuck?" he swore under his breath as it also became obvious that the now cooling corpses were also armed, many with knives and firearms.

Alex Israel at Gagosian Grosvenor Hill, London

January 13, 2020

ALEX ISRAEL Always On My Mind Opening reception: Wednesday, January 15, 6–8pm January 16–March 14, 2020 20 Grosvenor Hill, London __________ Sometimes, rather than deciding which context to address with a specific body of work or project, I just think of myself as my context . . . and that’s where my Self-Portrait comes into play. It has become a kind of logo for this imagined context of me—and it hopefully provides a through line as my work shifts or twists across traditionally segregated worlds or value systems. —Alex Israel Gagosian is pleased to present Always On My Mind, an exhibition of new Self-Portraits by Alex Israel. This is his first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom. A native of Los Angeles, Israel mines the cultural mythos of his hometown with polished optimism and calculated cool, melding nostalgic feelings with lucid perceptions of California living and the American Dream. Israel has cultivated a close partnership with Warner Bros. Studios, beginning in 2010 when he rented Hollywood props from the studio’s warehouses and exhibited them as readymade sculptures. He has also collaborated with the studio’s scenic painting department on numerous large-scale series, including his dreamy, pastel-tinted Sky Backdrops, architecturally inspired Flats, and slick, vibrant Waves. The film industry has continued to play a central role in Israel’s work; in 2017, he made his directorial debut with SPF-18, a feature-length teen rom-com that pays tribute to classic surf movies.

Since 2012, Israel has hosted As it Lays, a DIY online talk show featuring Los Angeles–based celebrity guests. In its debut season, each episode opened with a title sequence in which Israel’s silhouette—decked out in sunglasses by Freeway Eyewear, the brand he founded in 2010—morphs into a color-blocked logo. By 2013, this video graphic had already developed into Israel’s Self-Portraits, a series of paintings on shaped fiberglass panels featuring crisp lines and bright gradients of color. The Self-Portraits are both a consciously self-branded signature made for the Instagram era and a deeper formal exploration into Southern California’s aesthetic history.

Recently, Israel has shifted the series toward photorealism, in addition to developing an increasingly introspective and self-referential approach toward the art of self-portraiture. In 2015, he presented a group of new Self-Portraits as part of his site-specific installation at the Huntington in San Marino, California. One painting shows him writing his signature across the back of another Self-Portrait; another depicts his hands as he takes a selfie—an endless visual loop that conflates artist and viewer.

In Always On My Mind, Israel addresses the effortless visual gloss that twenty-first-century image culture and social media demand of their participants. A seamless “establishing shot” of Mulholland Drive is stitched together from multiple aerial photographs; a panorama of Griffith Park is foregrounded by a young woman who is engrossed not by the sweeping view before her, but by the picture of it that she has just taken with her iPhone.

In other works, the original color-blocked portrait is rebranded in trompe l’oeil formats including a glowing neon sign to a stained glass window. The Self-Portraits examine the myth of the American West and an expanded idea of entertainment—two parallel narratives interwoven in the fabric of Israel’s hometown that also continue to inflect our culture at large. _____ Alex Israel, Self-Portrait (Deer Skull), 2019, acrylic and Bondo on fiberglass, 96 × 84 inches (243.8 × 213.4 cm) © Alex Israel

The Residents — A Nickel If Your Dick’s This Big (Cherry Red)

youtube

“Hello everybody, how you all doin’ tonight? Well, here we are again …” The voice is preternaturally accented, a bit boomy and somehow shrill at the same time. It’s a caricature and an invitation. It opened the first concert by the ever-changing and never-changing Louisiana export and musical iconoclasts we still call The Residents, whose corpus also comprises equal parts parody and rumination. Who can resist the wonders and pitfalls of well-worn mythologies, especially when sounds like this emerge to fill the day with fun and a little danger? Fans of the Residents’ pREServed Editions will celebrate the widespread release of their 1971-72 material, predating Meet the Residents, and if the comp broadsides a new listener or two, so much the better!

There is absolutely no point in rehashing the multiple perspectives on this fertile period contained in the liners save to say that what we now call the pre-Residents, then burgeoning film makers, got hold of some instruments they couldn’t play and a high-end tape recorder. The appearance of N. Senada, from whom that far-fabled Theory of Obscurity is said to stem, foisted a free-jazz vibe on their music which may have made those Warner Brothers execs to whom it was sent just that much more jittery. The performances at a folk club called The Boarding House and at a couple social events honed skill of a sort and brought limited but crucial exposure in those heady times of electroacoustic and chemical experimentation. The first disc contains the so-called Warner Bros album, and the second affords the opportunity to hear what I’ll just call BS, leaving you to dig up that infamous title if desired. Each contains the excellent sound and bonus material requisite to the pREServed Edition format.

What remains fascinating now is the snarky fun the pre-Residents were obviously and already having with pop of the day. Yes, the first disc opens with a gloriously irreverent take on “Strawberry Fields,” but check out “We Stole This Riff,” which commences BS by giddily copping and mangling a riff from Tim Buckley’s “Down by the Borderline.” So many groundworks were laid in these small but potent gestures, from “Boots” on Meet the Residents to the similar but expanded and politically charged fun of Third Reich and Roll right through and beyond the equally political but deeper take on commerciality informing Eskimo. Born also at that time was the band’s entire anti-celebrity philosophy, leading to the anonymity far too forward in the casual fan’s conception. The nearly coherent jump-cut bursts of tape-manipulated frenzy comprising the lion’s share of that second disc contain a few future classics amidst the scree and squalor, including “Kamikaze Lady,” which, the bonus material elucidates, was more of a recitation at early Residents happenings.

One of those bonus items is the wedding of guitarist Philip Lithman, later known as Snakefinger and inextricably bound up with Residents lore. For my money, he is one of the few people to pick up a guitar post-Hendrix and foster a truly unique sound. He can play the blues or rattle unscathed through jazz-inflected harmonies as whim and the free-flight trajectory of his fancies dictate. His roots in Zappa pervade this Residents’ “King Kong” cover and his evident fascination with tape fuckery, while his solos prefigure the sweetness, fuzz and scronk he brought to the band for seventeen years. His maverick status starts here, and his violin and trumpet(?) playing in performance is as fascinating as his guitar work is gorgeous.

Like Zappa, the Residents loved to reuse material, recontextualizing it even when its point of origination is deliciously unfamiliar to any but insider ears. We who grew up on compilations like Residue only knew “Kamikaze Lady” from the 13th anniversary concerts and as a segment of the then-unreleased BS. That 13-minute Boarding House performance from 1971 surfaced in the early 1990s, but it is wonderful to have it here alongside the albums benefiting from its bits and bobs amidst the general disorder. Then, after everything, after the chaos of those times is captured, sampled and sustained in studio and performance, how striking it is to hear, at the second disc’s conclusion, the concert introduction from that heavily accented voice, unmanipulated and in its original acoustic. It’s not quite falsetto, and it certainly isn’t basso profundo, though it touches on both. In those concluding moments, it is as if, just for a moment, years, mysteries and disguises are stripped away, revealing a youth in playfully experimental mode, punctuating his comic salesmanship with grunts and growls eschewing the human. It’s a private moment ultimately meant to be made public, and it’s as endearing in its simple anticipation of the band’s future as this compilation is revelatory to those interested in reassessing the group’s past. It’s tempting to make a comparison to the Beatles’ Let it Be Naked, but that would be playing into the commerciality our Louisiana troop has spent its career sending up.

-vr game supposedly is gonna lead us into “FNAF: The Next Generation” (bro if you’re gonna come up with a name for a list games we don’t even know are gonna exist, at least be creative with it come on)

-”the meatiest game in the fnaf library” with I SHIT YOU NOT an awful graphic of freddy’s head over a disgusting pile of “ground meat” with a big yellow sun-shape with red text that says “NO FAT!” JFC MATT WHY!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!! also y’all are welcome, i definitely took that bullet for you

-i’m only two minutes into a 23:39 video why did i sign up for this i’m gonna die

-oh joy he actually played it on gt live /s

-BRO WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT VOICE HE DID FOR THE PUPPET

-experience of the game is to “recreate the brand” and “clear its name” or w/e

-OMFG HE LITERALLY WAS TALKING ABOUT ALL THE MONEY SOCK COTTON WAS MAKING ON MERCH ONLY TO STOP AND TALK ABOUT HIS OWN FUCKING MERCH SEND HELP GET ME OUTTA HERE IM GONNA GO F E R A L

-he’s really going out of his way to say “THESE shirts are for the LADIES and THESE shirts are for the MEN” SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I KNOCK YOUR TEETH OUT

-seriously man we already knew you were a Gender Binary Cop but this is ridiculous

-there’s game theory underwear. apparently. if i had to suffer through that fact so do you.

-”if you’re a fan of all the hard work we put into each and every one of our videos” WOW matt i had know idea how hard it was to steal other people’s work and ideas for your half assed theories!!!1!!11!!!

-god he makes it sounds like his theory gear is like donating to a charity absolutely unbelievable

-by the way, that ad for his own merch was from 3:32-4:18 and that’s almost a full minute (though trust me, it felt like so much longer)

-quiero matar ese hombre (translation: i wanna kill that man)

-OH. OH HE DID NOT.

-[insert stream of cursing in multiple languages that i cannot be bothered to type out here]

-this little white bitch really just said that there was only one important character missing in the vr game–golden freddy

-“noodle!” i’m sure you’re saying. “there’s nothing wrong with matt saying that!” oh no, that wasn’t the bad thing he said. ohhh no.

-and i quote: “i mean, ballora isn’t around here either, but you know i said ‘IMPORTANT’ [voice saying “buh-buh-baom!”, explosion sfx, air horn sfx]”

-気持ち悪い！(disgusting!)

-me parece que el quiere ser un hombre muerto (it seems to me that he wants to be a dead man)

-anywayyyys back to golden freddy: she’s not in the game because she’s chillin in hell with william afton APPARENTLY

-あの、ちょっと・・・(um, not really…)

-oh excuse me, she’s in hell with william to torture him, not chill with him

-also like how we’re still assuming a lot of things /s

-man this is taking a while

-cassidy (golden freddy) never gives up her soul, proves along with scrap baby plush that help wanted takes place after pizzeria simulator

-franchise is trying to rebuild itself after yknow, a dude going on a child killing spree

-talks about the following malhare ending

-yeah we aint gonna talk about what he calls malhare

-third appearance of the name “jeremy” in the games

-says he’s put the tapes in a “cohesive narrative” order (hah, how much do we wanna bet he’s wrong?)

-lol doesn’t say the order so he can’t be called out on his bullshit (i’m too tired to try and actually piece this shit together)

-this mf really 1) called jeremy crazy 2) or maybe that he’s “just a fnaf youtuber” and 3) PUTS UP A GRAPHIC OF HIM AND MARK GIVING EACH OTHER A HIGH FIVE. bold of you to assume you deserve to be near him mister patthew.

-[GORE WARNING] his take on the jeremy incident (you know the one, it was mentioned in the tapes) is that the ink is blood and jeremy DID cut his face off with the paper cutter. if you’re here from the fnaf discord server, you were probably around when we all discussed that this was unlikely.

-oh wow he really just tried to tie that in with the bite of 87 huh

-he’s convinced jeremy dies (spoiler: we don’t–and neither do a fair bit of people)

-really blaming tape girl for the fact that she didn’t warn about not collecting the tapes until the fifteenth tape huh

-talks about all cassettes collected endings, and how you “lose” no matter what in any of the three endings

-thinks the player is destined to lose the game

-mentions inconsistencies and oddities in the tapes

-i.e. how tape girl introduces herself twice—in tape one and tape fifteen

-how she says in tape sixteen that she knows there’s a way to kill malhare when she can’t possibly be sure, because she clearly hasn’t done it herself (malhare wouldn’t exist otherwise.)

-as in, she’s secretly trying to get you to release malhare instead of killing him

-thinks malhare melded with her conscious after she tried to delete the audio files and then attempted to escape by making the next playtester release malhare

-meanwhile the player is stuck while malhare takes over their body

-thinks that maybe the player waits until the next playtester comes along and loses their consciousness, which lets the player out

-says that putting together the tapes is like putting together the petscop lore

-wonders how many williams are out there--could the ai be replicating itself into multiple people--but admits yeah probably not

-”but that’s just a theory.. a game theory” or w/e the fuck he says

-insert ancient meme about fnaf storyline here bc he was too lazy to make a graphic or w/e

-oh wait no he wants to talk about jeremy haha still gotta sit through this for another minute or so

-random appearance of shadow freddy he found, malhare has three toes (ffs sake not the toe theories again i thought we were done with that crap) like the footprints outside afton house in fnaf ps midnight motorist minigame

-lovelyyy he’s gonna make another video after “thinking” shit over

-”scott cawthon is the villain in his own game” OKAY WHATEVER IDGAF

-i hoped you enjoyed these because they were legitimately the second or third worst experience of my life and i’m really not exaggerating

Project Rebuild Chapter 5

EXT. BUS STOP – DAY

The song “Operation New Me” begins playing.

[SONG: Operation New Me by Jingle Punks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoXlrhojd3g ]

[Out the door and I’m ready to go-oh] Lloyd walks up to his other classmates as the bus stop and waves hi.

LLOYD: Hello!

[It’s me version 2.0 –oh, Here’s something, you never see it, makes it right] None of Lloyd’s classmates want to associate with him. They tear up Lego bricks from the surrounding area and build a literal brick wall in between them and Lloyd. They shun him, looking the other way with arms crossed, chins up and eyes closed.

[People talking about my dad’s situation] The bus arrives and Lloyd walks into the bus. Everyone is fighting in a rowdy dust ball of violence. The moment Lloyd steps into the middle of the aisle, everyone stops whatever they were doing and sits down, glaring at Lloyd. There are a few empty seats left.

[I’ll always be the shame of the nation] Lloyd’s other classmates rush into the bus, shoving Lloyd out of the way and claiming the few remaining seats.

LLOYD: Hey!

[Could it be that they’ll never see me as me] Lloyd sits down in the last remaining free seat. Someone tosses a crumpled piece of paper at him. Lloyd unfolds it and he sees a crude drawing of himself in black Overlord robes when he used to be evil.

[Operation New Me] After taking a seat, Lloyd looks at his other classmates and sees they all moved to the other side of the bus.

[Operation New Me] Lloyd looks out the window and forces a smile but it melts away quickly as the bus starts to move.

[If you don’t like what the world’s saying Time to start a new conversation] The bus is entirely tilted to one’s side as it moves.

EXT. NINJAGO HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

[You are not a no one] Panning shot of Ninjago High School as the bus rolls into view.

[Deep down you’re a top gun] Shot of multiple students entering the school either by foot, skateboard or bike.

[Be your own wingman Wheels up to the sky] Lloyd steps out of the bus and surveys the area. The bus door slams shut and the music cuts abruptly.

Sounds of students chattering all silence when Lloyd comes into view. Everyone glares at Lloyd. Lloyd slowly walks to the school entrance. As he passes by, he can hear the other students whispering about him behind his back.

KID # 1: Shhhh. That’s the kid I was telling you about.

KID # 2: He and his dad ruin everything.

KID # 3: I don’t even think that’s his real eye color. Ever notice how his eyes only started being consistently green around the same time the Green Ninja started showing up? What a copycat!

Lloyd can feel everyone’s gaze on him as he walks. But suddenly Zane slides in and diffuses the tension. Lloyd’s mood lightens up considerably. Zane talks with a very robotic inflection.

ZANE: Hello fellow teenager!

LLOYD: Zane, buddy! How ya been?

ZANE: Man, my mom is on my case all the time! She’s like...

Zane makes modem dial up noises as his face glitches.

ZANE (CONT’D): ... and I’m like “Lay off Mom! I’m just a teenager!”

LLOYD: I hear that!

ZANE: Anyway, my internal calendar indicates that today is the anniversary of your birth. Would you care for a sugar-based confectionery delight? I baked it this morning.

Zane offers Lloyd a box of lime green Lego stud cupcakes (round 1x1 with swirled top).

LLOYD: Ooooh! Matcha! My favorite!

Lloyd grabs a cupcake and takes a bite. He speaks with his mouth full.

LLOYD: Mmmmm. Thanks Zane!

Lloyd and Zane walk up to the school doors. Lloyd pushes the double doors open.

INT. NINJAGO HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

On the other side of the hallway is Kai. Kai jumps up and waves to get Lloyd’s attention.

KAI: Bro!

Kai walks up to Lloyd with his arms wide open.

KAI: Dude, gimme a hug, man! Gimme a birthday hug!

LLOYD: Kai!

Kai tackles Lloyd in a tight embrace. Lloyd struggles to breathe, helpless in Kai’s grip.

KAI: That’s a good one!

ZANE: Birthday hug? Let me get in on that! I’ll increase the pressure dramatically.Zane walks toward Kai and Lloyd and wraps his arms around them. He squeezes them tightly. Lloyd struggles even more desperately.

LLOYD: Zane! Zane! ZANE!

We hear a distinct and audible CRUNCHING NOISE, like something being broken. Lloyd grunts. Zane releases Lloyd and Kai. Lloyd takes deep breaths.

KAI: Haha! Good one, Zane!

LLOYD: Yeah! (huff) good, just... give me a moment, (breathes) where are the others?

SMASH CUT TO: INT. SCHOOL LOCKERS - DAY

We see a close up of Cole as he listens to “In the End” by Linkin Park on his radio boom box at full volume. He has his hair down.

[SONG: In The End by Linkin Park - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVT... ]

[I tried so hard and got so far] Cole has a despondent look on his face. He has mostly resigned himself to his fate as the once great ex-leader of the Secret Ninja Force.

[But in the end, it doesn’t even matter] We see from Cole’s POV, Jay is in front of him, chatting enthusiastically. His voice is being drowned out by the music.

[I had to fall to lose it all, but it the end, it doesn’t even matter] We see a mid shot of Cole and Jay leaning on Lloyd’s locker as the music dies down and Jay’s voice becomes audible. Jay has a long strip of paper in his hands. He is reading his fortune prophecy out loud.

JAY: “Your Master Builder application has been received. Ask again later.” Auuughhh!!!! But what does that mean? Did I get in? Did I not get in? What if Nya gets in and I don’t? I feel so excited and nervous at the same time! I just... auuugghhh!!!!!

Jay grabs a hold of Cole’s shoulders and shakes him back and forth wildly. Cole smiles softly and pats Jay on the back as though to say “There there.”

JAY: (to himself) Maybe I should ask Lloyd how he got in. (to Cole) What does yours say?

Cole wordlessly takes out his fortune prophecy and unfolds it. He shows it to Jay without saying anything. It is completely blank. Cole’s facial expression is equally empty.

JAY: Lazy writing huh? That’s rough.

Cole sighs, folds his fortune prophecy and returns it to his pocket. He closes his eyes and continues listening to music.

A couple of kids approach the lockers shaking cans of black spray paint. Jay sees them and tries to give them a death glare but he is not intimidating enough. Cole opens his eyes, notices them and gives them a proper death glare. The kids back away slowly. As the bullies leave, Zane, Kai and Lloyd come into view, completely unaware of the bullies’ presence.

LLOYD: Jay! Cole! What’s up?

Cole turns off his boom box and smiles softly. It is a genuine smile, but his eyes betray a certain sadness.

JAY: Look! No one messed with your locker today! Happy Birthday!

Jay and Cole step aside to show Lloyd’s spotless locker.

LLOYD: Thanks guys!

Lloyd gives the Lego equivalent of a high five to Jay and Cole.

A loud roaring sound is heard as Nya rides in through the school’s hallways on her motorbike. The motorcycle’s tires screech noisily as she stops just in front of the other Ninja. A passing teacher yells at her for not following school guidelines.

TEACHER: (SHOUTING) NO MOTORBIKES IN THE HALLWAY!

NYA: (SHOUTING) I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION!

TEACHER: (SHOUTING) OKAY!

LLOYD: Hey Nya!

Nya turns to Lloyd and the others. She waves her hand.

NYA: Yo bro!

KAI: What’s up sis?

NYA: Oh hey, actual bro!

JAY: Hey, Nya! Where’d you get that bike? At the great stuff store? (whispers to Cole) Nya is so boss!

Jay latches on to Cole’s arm and Cole rolls his eyes.

NYA: Check out my new paint job! On my new BIKE! ‘Cause I made them both myself!

EVERYONE: Cool!!!

NYA: It’s the Lady Iron Dragon! My HERO!

Nya gestures with her hands in enthusiasm. We see a close up of Nya’s painting. Then we see a close up of Lloyd’s face. He sees the image and has a knowing look in his eyes. He recognizes Lady Iron Dragon as the vigilante alter-ego of his mother, Koko.

NYA: Have I ever told you guys the legend of Lady Iron Dragon?

Kai and Jay answer at the same time.

KAI: (dismissively) Only like a thousand times...

JAY: (eagerly) No, you haven’t!

Kai facepalms. Nya goes on storyteller mode. Everyone huddles around Nya.

NYA: Many years ago, before the Secret Ninja Force protected this city, Ninjago was safeguarded by a mysterious vigilante. She was called the Lady Iron Dragon. But to know the legend of Lady Iron Dragon, we have to go back, way way back.

ZANE: Ooooh, story time? This calls for a round of sugar-based confectionery delights!

Zane takes out his box of matcha cupcakes and offers one to each of his friends. They each take one and eat it. After Zane offers Cole the last cupcake, Cole leans on Zane’s shoulder. The others speak while eating their cupcakes.

We pan over to Kai.

KAI: Oh man! Zane, these are amazing! I wish I had a mom who could bake like you!

We pan over to Nya.

NYA: I wish I had a mom who could be Lady Iron Dragon!

We pan over to Lloyd.

Lloyd smiles awkwardly at this but no one notices.

We pan over to Jay.

JAY: I’m actually super uncomfortable with wishes and what if scenarios so I am perfectly content with my current mom. And also my dad.

Nya leans into view and pats her boyfriend on the back. We then pan over to Cole and hold on him. He does not comment his thoughts on his mother. While the others are finishing their cupcakes, Cole instead takes a shiny black rock out of his pocket and looks at it wordlessly before placing it back. It is shard of ONYX, the Stone of Strength.

Cole looks back up at the others and Nya continues her story.

NYA: So anyway, many years ago, Ninjago was a small, peaceful village...

A/N: Don’t click on the Onyx link unless you want to be potentially spoilered.

Arrow 6x04 Reversal

Main take away: THIS SHIP SAILS ITSELF. (need I say more?) I’d just like to state first how sorry I am for doubting this ep; but also shaming that misleading, BS heavy trailer from last wk. Not cool bro. This was another good episode tonight. Mostly cause Olicity was back together working as a team doing what they do best. Communication was so on point I could’ve cried & did cause of course. We finally met Caden James this ep, he seems friendly. (‘CJ’ going forward cause I can’t be bothered writing out “Caden James” till the end of time.) And another thing, I took notes this time around so go me. Apologies in advance for them being a lil all over the place. I tried sorting them into categories... I think it worked. So let’s get into it. *SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT*

*OLICITY* (I couldn’t save it for last this time so enjoy!)

To summarize: They’re the cutest most badass superhero couple ever. This everything I could’ve ever hoped for!!!

William wanted to come to dinner!!! If they don’t go on a lil mini playdate date in the future I will riot.

Felicity’s hair is goals; so damn stunning!! I forgot how much I missed her long flowing locks; FUCK! ALSO THAT DRESS! If I wasn’t gay before.

“I wasn’t ready then… not like I am now.” -Oliver

“Ah, are you to back together? Such a sweet couple.” I am this old lady. She is my essence, I bow to you!

“I’m the mayor’s girlfriend now” -Felicity WRITE THIS ON MY TOMBSTONE

SHE LITERALLY MADE OUT WITH HIS FACE?! IS THIS REAL LIFE OR A FANFIC AHHHHH!!! (Not once but TWICE. I’m fine!)

“I’m home now if you want some dessert… yes that was intentionally suggestive.” AHHHHHHHHH!!! I could get used to this. I guess this also answers my random question from 6X01 of whether or not O/F live in the same apartment/condo complex. Since it took Oliver a while to show up after the “dessert” comment.

OLICITY COMMUNICATION…. YASSS!! I knew they had it in them. This is what a healthy relationship looks like!!

The Shadow Stormtrooper called & he want’s his mask back. (god I’m such a nerd) LMAO IT WAS OLIVER I’M DYING. PROTECTIVE OLIVER FOR THE WIN THO.

“Even if we weren’t together you were always there with me… You were literally in my ear, every second I was in the field. I want the chance to be their for you the way you’ve been there for me.” -Oliver -ugly sobbing; I’M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!

CURTIS NOT NOW!! THEY WERE ABOUT TO MAKE OUT ON THE COUCH GOD DAMN IT!!

“Maybe doing this solo wasn’t such a good idea.” “Good thing you’re not alone” AHHHHHHHHHHH CAN YOU HEAR MY SHIPPER HEART SING?!!

“I know this; you can do it. I believe in you.” SET ME ON FIRE!!

THEY LEFT THE BUNKER HOLDING HANDS AHHH THIS IS BETTER THAN ANY DREAM EVER!!

UP AGAINST THE WALL & COUCH MAKEOUT ALL IN ONE EP?! THIS IS WHAT SHIPPER HEAVEN IS.

Cayden James First impressions: Has potential to be a BIG nuisance, still too early to tell. Definitely commands the room, so he has that going for him. A bit monotone but I can work with that. His creepy obsession w/ Felicity’s skills is unnerving, so that’s chill. He is basically North Korea/Japan 2.0 via the Internet kinda? I think? Awesome. Can’t wait to see Felicity/Curtis/Elena kick his ass on multiple occasions.

Other Thoughts...

I WAS SO PISSED WHEN THE SHORT HAIRED LADY TURNED OUT TO BE BS & NOT MY PRECIOUS THEA -growls;

Seeing Oliver get left out in the cold is sooo sad. Poor baby. I think he should be allowed to be apart of the team sometimes. I mean c’mon.

Black Widow > BS. How dare you insult ScarJo like this. Disgusting.

“...You get your ass back there & get your man” YAS CURTIS!!

ELENA!!! BABY GIRL!! I’m suspicious obviously, gonna be treading lightly. Please don’t double cross us honey, I don’t think my heart could take it.

Oliver’s under 24/7 FBI surveillance? Since when? Did FBI chick say that at some point cause idr. This is how much I care about that subplot.

Diggle being the ultimate Felicity fanboy.<3

Felicity precious baby. Girl needs a hug, & to take a bubble bath w/ a Lush bathbomb & some wine. Thanks Dig for the shower suggestion tho. I really hope this ‘Felicity being run into the ground because of the team/startup/relationship’ thing doesn’t become a new theme.

AHHHH FELICITY IN THE FIELD WITH EVERYONE YAS QUEEN!!

I’m getting real tired of this notion that Dinah Drake can take multiple assailants and not break so much as a sweat. But can’t hold her own against BS when it was already established that she was a better fighter and had a stronger Canary Cry. She better kick her ass by the end of the season. This retconning is BS & I won’t stand for it. (Thank you @blackcanarydinah for saying what I’ve been thinking for a very long time)

Curtis & Felicity & Elena working on the start up & replicating her spinal implant Yes please!! Helix Dynamics. I can roll with that, just as long as Smoak Technologies is the ultimate goal. When Felicity says that title I will scream.

*HEADS UP* I’m gonna keep this short & simple. Or at least try to... I don’t like BS, & I haven’t since she was first introduced. I also don’t like KC. So this is basically a double whammy of awful for me. That being said I will never EVER apologize for what I say about her or BS. If you have any comments please do so with respect.

Now that that’s out of the way...

BS was so unnecessary for this ep, & I’m not just saying this. Just think about it for a sec. If you take her out of the equation nothing is lost. You’re telling me this was the ONLY way to get those fingerprints? The writers have been claiming since last season about how smart CJ is so what gives. I’m 100 billion % certain he could’ve come up with any other way to acquire those fingerprints. But instead we are left w/ KC’s emotionless line reading & rigid stance. It’s called emoting/inflection KC, look it up. Half the time she looked like she was starring into space or confused by what she was supposed to do. She knows she’s being filmed right? Example... CJ: -tells her to go do a thing; BS: -confused look; Huh me? CJ: -walks away; BS: -continues to stand there like an imbecile into the camera expressionless;

A good actor would you know do an evil smirk or something but oh well.

That’s all I have to say on my end. Next wk seems to be very Slade Wilson heavy, so that should be fun & interesting. Till txt time!!

Y'alright? I'm sure there was some inflection lost on that unfollow anon, but you seemed genuinely offended. On the verge of rage-cry-typing

first things first–not exactly sure how anything i wrote was even remotely close to crytyping…… i literally just said unfollow me if you want to and don’t tell me why you did bc i don’t care

secondly, yes i’m annoyed. not offended, but definitely annoyed. i don’t think anyone really understands how many negative and hateful messages i get daily/weekly. i only really publish the kind asks bc i don’t even want to acknowledge people who are just being rude and inconsiderate. honestly though it’s pretty annoying to deal with people constantly coming to my inbox to tell me why i’m annoying or why the way i blog is “wrong” or “unacceptable” when my blog disclaimer literally says “this is a PERSONAL BLOG above all else; please keep that in mind”. i try to maintain a positive attitude and be kind to everyone and when i get really bad hate i usually just block it and move on without starting anything publicly…. but sometimes little comments like “had to unfollow u bro u answered to many asks at once” annoy me more than the really awful hate bc it’s like ???????? i’m literally just answering questions from my followers forgive me for not spacing them out to your liking

if you don’t like how i answer asks or the personal posts i make just unfollow me!!! i don’t need to know that you disapprove of my blogging style or the cadence in which i answered multiple asks. just leave and don’t bring me down with you. that’s literally all i’m asking

#ask #anon #i am a human bean too

6 Actors Who Did The Same Crimes Their Own Characters Did

At the beginning of every episode of Jackass, the show has to practically beg you not to try any of what you’re about to see at home, which seems a bit redundant when the guys start stapling their own testicles to an enraged bull. But it’s necessary. Some people truly can’t help doing whatever they see onscreen, no matter how bloody, stupid, or painful the results. Sometimes that even goes for the actors pretending to do it …

A Sopranos Actor Was Implicated In A Real Mob Execution

Michael “Big Mike” Squicciarini was typecast as, well, himself, and his role as “Big Frank” on The Sopranos was no exception. Though it seems impossible for a guy who has played everyone from “Thug Joey” to “Henchman #2,” his real-life rap sheet had more mob stereotypes than his IMDb page. While he worked for the DiMeo crime family on the show, he worked for the family they were based on, the DeCavalcantes, in reality.

HBOHis quotes include, “Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh that’s-a spicy meatball, capisci?”
