They get to New York and Brock is hooking up with people he doesn’t have to worry about crushing in his hands, late in life bisexual who clearly has a thing about strength. Im so certain Shoreleave literally cheers about it once he figures out thanking god Brock first man wasn’t Doc.

Meanwhile Doc is the least subtle person in the whole world and is all the worst bisexual man trope (I’m sorry to my other bisexual men you gotta know he would be awful tho) so when Brock actually figures out about Doc and Doc figures out about Brock it’s 2 people exploding each other with their minds.

Brock so annoyed at Doc ASSUMING he needs pointers (he sorta does and sorta doesn’t but Doc knows literally less than Brock) and Doc offended he wasn’t picked (he won’t show it goes immediately to playing it off the worst way which is recounting some times to give “tips” meow) and shoreleave flipped between disgust at Rusty and amusement at Rusty pissing Brock off.

It all escalates by Rusty, he’s talking too much shit and Brock calling him out on it which turns into them going out to settle a bet of Rusty own creation. Brock not really doing anything, Pete and Billy are here suddenly arguing for Brock(Billy) and Rusty(Pete) honour with Shoreleave instigating.

So it ends up with them going to a queer bar Shoreleave as referee, it’s all fun and games Shoreleave set ground rules, what counts as a win etc they get inside-

They find Dean there to everyone horror, and Dean nearly throws his drink right at his dad head ready to blow up the bar just to take everyone down with him

Punch Out Men's Bracket OCs! (World Circuit)

THE BOYS ARE BACK! And they've had quite the makeover! Name: Treble Trouble/Joshua Matthews Age: 28 Height: 6' Weight: 150lbs Nationality: Australian Position: #3 World Circuit Record: 18-10 (11 KO) Stance: Southpaw (Left-Handed) "Hands down the noisiest boxer in the history of the WVBA, there's never a moment of silence when Treble's in the room. A loud-mouthed death metal/rock performer with an equally noisy fanbase who devote their entire lives to him, he's knows how to get an audience riled up and excited. Unfortunately, he can be quite a sour loser after some matches and that anger is often taken out on whichever poor soul is against him next match..."

Name: Rusty Hook Age: 38 Height: 6'4 Weight: 174lbs Nationality: Scottish-Caribbean Position: #2 World Circuit Record: 20-14 (14 KO) Stance: Orthodox (Right-Handed) "This grizzled old pirate captain is honestly slightly terrifying when he's in the ring but he's usually a jolly drunkard who enjoys singing sea shanties and generally acting like an idiot. Rusty isn't too popular with the WVBA fans due to the shocking amount of cheating he pulls during his fights. Kicking, elbow bashes, ankle grabs and spitting are just a few of the boorish tactics he pulls to ensure he gets the win. The WVBA WOULD intervein buuut... they really can't be bothered." Name: Kim Seo-Joon Age: 26 Height: 5'11 Weight: 141lbs Nationality: Korean Position: #1 World Circuit Record: 10-12 (5 KO) Stance: Orthodox (Right-Handed) "Seo-Joon's first impression on many people is that he's an arrogant, snarky asshole and... he slightly is. His position in the World Circuit is solely based on his fame as a k-pop idol outside of the WVBA as his actual boxing record would normally have him wallowing in the Minor Circuit. However, once you get past the smug grin and 'I am the best' attitude, he's actually quite a loyal friend who had it rough when he was younger." Name: William Dubois Age: 32 Height: 6'1 Weight: 148lbs Nationality: British-French Position: World Circuit Champion Record: 20-12 (14 KO) Stance: Orthodox (Right-Handed) "This incredibly talented butler seemingly has a magic touch with anything he does! William's skills as both a servant to the wealthy and as a boxer are very impressive, almost too good for a human being! No matter how much praise and attention this attracts, however, he always seems to remain humble and modest claiming that 'he is nothing more than a butler to those who require his service'. Juuust make sure you don't ruin his bowtie during a fight... It leaves him rather miffed, to put it lightly."

Monkey King 2009 Episode 3

Them having Stone Monkey (apparently purely on instinct) constantly scratching while being introduced to the troop was pretty cool, since that's a legitimate deescalation behavior in monkeys. Something about how revealing stress acts as a bonding behavior and makes it less likely they'll be attacked. Humans do it too, kind of, when they rub at their hands or shoulders or neck (etc. etc.) when nervous or overwhelmed. ("Empathize with me! I am very stressed!").

Also something-something instinctive behaviors aside Stone Monkey being excited/overwhelmed/maybe a little overstimulated and choosing "ESCALATION!!!" as his response to all of that. He thinks the troop being scared of him is hilarious. He's scratching the fur off his arms but he's also going to get right up in your face anyway. Cautiously join him in admiring his cool new rock? He is going to play-lunge and also scream. Absolutely amazing. The troop has no idea what to do with these mixed signals. This kid is a menace and I love him.

Six Ears even gets in on the scratching behavior occasionally in the background, which might be because Stone Monkey actively terrorizing literally everyone trying to be playful (because he has the social skills of a literal, actual rock) is stressing Six Ears right out or it could be an attempt to deescalate on Stone Monkey's behalf. Monkey version of following in his new friend's wake throwing apologetic grimace-smiles at everyone. Possibly it's both. Point is: They included these behaviors and it's very fun.

You can also tell it worked because in just the journey to the cave you watch the four generals' views on Stone Monkey go from "uncanny valley horror entity lurking in the forest probably to kill us all" to "what a rude little kid >:| Emphasis on RUDE."

And, okay, I admit, I have softened my stance on the four generals. Somewhat. They seem to actually be taking their jobs seriously now. Maybe Episode 1 was a wake-up call and they won't utterly fail to notice an incursion until it's in the heart of their territory again. I don't want to go too crazy, but maybe they'll even be able to even muster a coherent response! Good for them.

Should probably still not be managing children, though.

Speaking of, Six Ears's increasing despair watching the train wreck in motion that was the four generals fumbling hard in giving Stone Monkey his very first etiquette lesson after he finally settled down and seemed willing to hear them out is also very relatable and hilarious. He knows they failed the test. Stone Monkey is definitely never going to listen to them again. They blew it. RIP Flower Fruit Mountain.

Stone Monkey does check in with Six Ears when he decides the generals are useless about explaining though, and that's pretty cute. He trusts his friend :) He also definitely internalizes that thing about having to ask to leave the presence of the king, so at least they managed to teach him some manners. ONE manners. A single manner. (Spoiler: They immediately regret this.)

But hey! This time Six Ears is left entirely to his own devices and still manages to get caught smack in the middle of enemy action. Not the Generals' fault for once! Six Ears just attracts this kind of thing, I guess.

3/3 Six Ears is Damsel-ed, but only 2/3 it's the adults' fault. The tally develops.

In honor of VBros Season 7 being kick ass so far. I am once again sharing the RustNya playlist I have.

How do I explain the core themes here in a succinct way...wow we are both haunted by what was done to us and the environment we grew up in but one of us is coping WAAAAAY better than the other. Not hard to guess which is which. It's about how much Rusty fucking sucks and how I'd still throw myself in front of a truck for him. Even if he doesn't seem that grateful. It's fine. I've accepted that. It's about the catharsis of getting to choose to have people that suck in your life. Versus being forced into it. It's a really nice outlet for me in that aspect- it's a good outlet for me in MAAAANY aspects to be honest. Maybe that's why I get so nervous about sharing anything from the RustNya Encyclopedia. It's so close to my heart and my own pain and it's like. How. I never expected this show would rend my brain and heart in such a way. Genuinely came out of the left field and it still keeps giving me those right hooks...

I'm still struggling to explain the common theme here but think of it as. We are of a similar scent but vastly different and the fact I'm happier and more well-adjusted about it makes you sick sometimes. I would shatter my kneecaps for you but you're such a God awful person that I dare not even say how much you mean to me. I know you'll use it as leverage against me somehow. So I pretend to be dense as all fuck when you try to shoot your shot because I hate outright rejecting you but I hate the idea of being honest even more. Sometimes I become a worse version of myself around you. But other times. I'm truly thriving. Will I ever be honest. Would you ever truly accept love like this. Do you even want me like I want you. Would you look at me and see the same scared little kid that still lives inside you. Who knows. Find out next time on the Venture Variety Hour.

“Did you eat a brain tumor for breakfast?” Heather chandler @ Rusty - ✧ ˖ ˙ 「 @candystxre 」 ˙ ˖ ✧

「 ☆ 」 Rusty can’t blame Heather for her reaction to this latest… development in his and Autumn’s relationship friendship THING. Frankly, he’s appreciative of her restraint. After he came to terms with what he did, he was gripped with the indescribable urge to punch his own reflection. He hadn’t, but only because he was staring into Autumn’s bathroom mirror in a poor attempt to calm down. He’d NEVER call what he had in there a panic attack. Mainly because those are for wimps ( and he would die of shame if the first time he fucked led to a private breakdown ) but he will secretly admit—

What he experienced probably came pretty close to whatever one of those would be like.

❝ Look— It’s not as bad as you think. ❞ He bluffs, trying to convince himself as much as his friend. Running his hands through his hair, Rusty pushes back his ears as he paces the floor, ❝ Yeah, me and Autumn fucked— ❞ More accurately, Autumn fucked HIM but he’s not about to admit that without prodding. ❝ —but isn’t that kinda what we were hoping for? I mean, now he’s proven that he likes me. Right? You weren’t there but trust me, he was very into it. ❞ Turning to face Heather, a pleading grin is upon his face, arms outstretched as if begging to be backed up in his conclusion.

❝ We're in this weird place where neither of us have actually talked about it again yet... but STILL. He totally cheated on that stupid perfect pussy! He's dating Aiden— ❞ Name is emphasized a bit more genuinely than he'd like, showing how high of a regard he actually has for the feline. Enough to where he admits the choice between the two of them ought to be clear... and not in his favor. ❝ —and he still picked ME. ❞ More or less. 「 ☆ 」
