fuck - he shouldnât laugh. he really shouldnât fucking laugh. but leave it to mackenzie to laugh himself up his own funeral. âdid you justâŠâ he stops himself, but itâs useless. he canât shake this off. he canât. âyou offered me an apple,â it was giving twilight, it was giving garden of eden, âI wasnât expecting you to be so⊠by the book.â
he opts out of calling the devil cliché.
The beast of many names let out a content kind of hum, "thereâs power in the tales you little gnats tell, yâknow,â he said, with full mouth, motioning at Mackenzie with jutting out talon, âbut donât get me wrong -- you little fuckers didnât choose this form for me, I chose it. Because I like it. Look at me, with the horns anâ shit, I look fuckinâ sick,â another chomp, âyâknow, the others, they uh, they told me that interfacing with you guys was a bad move but I think it worked out pretty sweet.â

     âThatâs okay,â said Kennedy, to Jimmy. He shifted, ditched the lightbulb pipe and a lighter on the nightstand. The crack hit cleaner than a line, and with his balls empty, his mind felt good and clear like a shaken Etch-A-Sketch. He smiled like he was a little stoned or something, a lot mellower than tense, gnawing Jimmy sat beside him.
      VFK closed his eyes and thought peacefully for a while. It was quiet, but not silent. A dog barked. A cop car siren wailed a long way away, and after a while, the TV shut up. From the bathroom, he heard the toilet flush. Barefoot pacing. Then muffled, one-sided phone talk. When VFK opened one eye, the ceiling fan was still spinning, and the cool air felt good on his balls. He laid there, content like a chimp in a tree. Gave Jimmy a glance.
     âDMT? Yeah, Iâll do anything three times, man, except for DMT.â
      Then he scratched his belly idly, Rolex clinking on his wrist, and asked, âWhatchu think happens after you die, Jimmy? What uh, what do you want to happen after you die?â
      A sniff.
     âIâm still kinda horny. More porn?â
   While Kennedyâs mind was cleared, Jimmy had been hit with a wave of post-nut depression -- he was a very depressive person, in general, the jittery freak perched himself on the edge of his bed thinking about what heâd just done, how pathetic he was, all that jazz, the crack did help though -- was beginning to feel like the man again.Â
   Head spun when the toilet flushed -- heâd forgot she was there. Thought it was the feds. This place was tapped. Heâd have to get the cleaners in -- maybe they could get the spunk stain off the headboard.Â
   âWorm-food,â huffed through thoughtless laugh, âI dunno. I try not to think about it. Knew this mobster, got three in the gut,â he stood up, scratched his ass as he stretched out. His leg had cramped, he stretched it out, murmuring âfuck --â like an old man. âWhen he woke up, told me hell was the same Mariachi song over anâ over anâ over again. Donât really know what that meant,â he figured the dude just really hated Mariachi music.Â
   âYeah man,â Jimmy said, âbut Iâm choosing it. Fuckinâ --â he ejected the VHS, âthis the fuckinâ 70s?â He sniffed, âthe internetâs fried my brain man, I can only get off to shit thatâs been recorded on some fuckinâ guys phone, that professional shit just donât do it for me.â He bounced back onto the bed, grabbed his phone, began typing away. âThe girls, fuckinâ, huuuuuyeah, gimme a fuckinâ break,â he coughed and spluttered for a minute, âyou good, bitch? Christ, sounds like the fuckinâ exorcist in this fuckinâ --â he trailed off, face alight with ass and titties.Â
   â-- man, I canât pick. Help me choose.âÂ

rough.
you look so big when youâre drunk. you came crashing into the living room, with a lampshade on your head, and your dick in Jacks kettle, shouting about morning coffee with cream.Â
i shouldnât have laughed, but i did.Â
you look so small when youâre hungover. curled up, cross-legged by the cracked window. despite the whiteness in your cheeks, and the bareness of your skinny legs, you looked so peaceful. in pain, but peaceful.Â
i donât know what i did to earn that scornful glower, as my hand idly toyed with your silly little leg-hairs. my injured little soldier. you only have yourself to blame. i chanced a smile, but i knew it was too early for you. so i direct the smile at my chest, you look away too.Â
you love me so much at night. but in the morning, still, after so much time, weâre strangers.Â
is this all there is?Â
wad of crumpled hundreds left on the table. you had places to be. I miss you when youâre gone. And i hate that the only time I really see you, you have your dick in a kettle, and a lampshade covering your stupid grin.Â
Youâre a fucking idiot, and so am i.Â

âYou know, I bet heâs not so tough.â from Ruby to Jimmy (she's talking about Satan I think)
strength.
"Yeah," Jimmy agreed, with a sniff. This all just washed over him. The devil, those creatures, maybe it had broken him -- or maybe it had made him what he was always meant to be. This crusade of bullshit, this winding path with no clear end, "but what happens to me when he's gone?"
He wasn't a soldier, he was never a soldier, but in his dream, in that place, he was a warrior.
"I went somewhere," he said, "was the first time in a long time I felt like I was out'ta my depth. Don't know if it was a dream, don't know if it was him -- messing with my mind or..." It had all felt so right, in the wild, too good to be hell, too free. Bare feet kicking through sand and dust, fire and lightning crashing through the moonlit night, the goals were simple, his needs were met, the others, the tribe that had lived there and taken him under his wing watched in horror and fear as Jimmy had dropped his spear, used his hands, used his teeth.
"The people there, they made me drink Ayahuasca, told me to head on down and slay some beast for them -- but before I could get there, something --" he rubbed the back of his head, he could still feel it, a tongue rammed into his frontal cortex, "-- something spoke to me -- or -- or tried to."
Head tipped back, it had been so long since he had a drink, since he had slowed down. All reason was lost, all truth had become lies, all those years, all those things he'd done -- all the bad, all the good. He finished the drink, poured himself another one, and poured her one too.
"If I get to clock that goat-legged fuck at least once before I'm thrown into the bowels of hell or whatever, then I'll chalk this up to a win."

â stop brushing me off. i know something is going on. â
digging holes.
He hadnât even bothered washing his hands this time, dusting of cigarette ash around him in the light of a lamp that no longer needed to be on, as the morning filled the room he remained in shadow.Â
Why do you force yourself to go it alone, he had thought, as the shovel pierced the grass, youâre a king, youâre the alpha, you donât need to be out here -- digging holes.Â
Black finger traced the rim of his glass, âI wasnât strong enough,â she wasnât a Don, she wasnât brandishing a machete, but still he mumbled, âIâll be better next time. I -- I can still look after you,â he finished his drink, in one swift movement, if only he could bring himself to look at her. He so badly wanted to tell her what she didnât know couldnât hurt her for the millionth time.Â
âI donât want this to be all there is, but I --... I ainât the man I was, May,â for better, for worse, âI was a king. Now Iâm not. I had a plan -- now I donât. Itâs all turning to dust and I canât tell you jack shit, I canât, âcos I canât stand the way people look at me when they know what I did,â slowly he became more animated, and at the end, he wrapped his hand off the wall, shook his head in disparity, "I thought I knew what I was doing. Thought -- thought Iâd go out on a blaze of glory. Least -- thatâs what I was trynâa do, I think,â he was quiet now, barely audible, âbut I just wouldnât die. I keep -- keep fucking winning,â he smiled, into his chest, laughed through his words.Â
âMaybe -- when weâre all done, and we get to ride into the sunset, Iâll give you specifics. But I -- I can taste it, May,â he wondered if he sounded crazy, drunken ramblings of a madman whoâd stayed up too long and drank too much, he sniffed, âlast night I buried someone Iâve been meaning to for a long time.â He sat up, straighter, âI got some problems. Some stuff I donât know if I can handle. But I need you to trust me when I tell you I -- I have it under control.âÂ
Why did it feel like he was trying to sell her something?Â

more goddamn headcanons bc lbr me doing these posts is better than total inactivity editionÂ
jimmy can play the harmonica. i think jimmy has a lot of stupid little skills and my justification for this is back in the day, when he was on the street, he couldnât get a lot of drugs. with homelessness, iâm not saying this is a hard and fast rule but usually when people are homeless drugs are used more as a way to kill time and boredom rather than the cause of their homelessness. what im trying to say is what does a 14 year old homeless kid do if he canât find fifteen bucks for acid?? he teaches himself how to juggle, or a basketball trickshot or some dumb shit. this is kind of why i write jimmy just dicking about more, i feel like this is his sort of comfort zone, just being out back fuckin messin around, except now heâs doing it in the remnants of his suit with a warm beerÂ
i think mollyâs a lot more sensible than i used to give her credit for. she is a party animal, but without jimmy around she grew a little.Â
rasputin makes stew out of anything and everything. he has eaten raccoon before, recently too, this wasnât like when he was a kid or in any sort of survival situation. i mean this mans be out there eaten raccoon stew like last wednesday.Â
heâll also make his own vodka out of potatoes. this is a longer process though.Â
while i keep most of it canon for just now, i think all the kills i had were too cool. i want to try on my next draft to sort of calm it down a bit, at least while iâm writing mob shit.Â
jimmy can look a little bloated sometimes. he used to be pretty prone to spots too.Â
another jimmyism: blowing into a tissue, showing you the bloody contents and saying âthatâs a hundred bucks right thereâÂ
there are some really compromising videos of jimmy and his gang at parties and stuff. image was never as important to them like it is with the mob.Â
 zoe has a very florence & the machine vibe 2 me. im not going to expand on that. if u kno u knoÂ
they should make a moby dick vs jaws film. like jaws goes through a time worm hole and has to battle moby dick and maybe like jaws takes the ship captains OTHER leg so then thatâs also personal and like at the end moby dick and jaws fight for a bit but then Mecha Captain From Moby Dick shows up but its like an old timey ship robot and this fuckin whale like body slams it and jaws is scranning it and itâs just chaos and right at the end a portal opens and itâs Free Willy but he has a robot arm and heâs like come with me if u want to liveÂ
man this hollywood shit easyÂ
frankie drinks tennants in the house. he has crates shipped to his house from scotlandÂ
buck uses a straight razor to shave his head, he will regularly nick himselfÂ
also on the topic of buck he isnât a master of self control but he knows how to manage his anger. to an extent.Â
buck and jimmy used to mostly work with this slimey rat boy. they were on loan from marco when they met, mostly because marco didnât like travelling and didnât want to deal with international affairs. Buck and jimmy and this mobster whose name iâve forgot traveled the world together, and while they all occasionally had moments of kinship individually, the relationships there was mostly contentious at best. the mobster they were with made bad calls, made messes buck and jimmy had to clean up, and when youâre abroad -- on different turf, making moves you donât understand, it never ends well. i think there was a lot of shit happening back then, but jimmy wasnât paid to think, and for buck, his debts were always almost repayed.Â
speaking of idk if iâve ever mentioned this but buck was a boxer who the mob are threatening basically bc heâs like, a tank and they wanted the muscle. he doesnât want to be doing any of this shit, and heâs in fucking peru with a machete and an assault rifle when heâd rather be at home, with his kid.Â
also thereâs a reason i forgot that mobsters name. heâs LONG dead. i like to imagine jimmy and buck getting swept up in a max payne 3 style adventure but iâve never fleshed any of that shit out because honestly itâs past craziness, adventures i know they had and they know they had but it ainât relevant to anything reallyÂ
dmitri used to run a sandwich shop in russia. he was dragged into the russian mob cos he spoke english, and the wrong people knew that. simple as that. they needed a guy, they got a guy, it ruined his life, he just kept going.Â
im offskis i need a shower and i got a Pizza that needs scranned but i may be back later to actually do something other than vague vibes about stuff iâm actively refusing to write. itâs wild. i make these headcanons specifically to tell u things iâm not gonna write. this whole blog is just a writing dicktease exerciseÂ

Violin music is good and all, but nothing will drive you insane like a well played fiddle can.
Violins are lovely, and emotive, but fiddle music crawls down into your nerves and your bones. It shudders through you like a storm, and makes you try and remember things you've never seen and makes you feel as though your living blood itself is going to rip out of you and become it's own undulating being.

quiet.
Itâs all starting to wobble back to reality now, left in the sad wake of a trip I didnât want to take, a connection I didnât want to make.Â
Memory is malleable, itâs all a photograph of a photograph.Â
In that haze you thought you saw the answer, but your vision was too blurry. Man, you thought the world was ending, wind howling from the balcony, you thought, for a moment, as you cowered behind the curtain, that youâd heard those screams before.Â
Itâs all still bubbling, but your hearts not in it anymore, slowly, you return to numbness -- cigarette hisses into the toilet bowl.Â
I enjoy the stillness there, in the wake of something that had promised to change my life. Thatâs all it really was -- a falsified realization, a lie I enjoyed for a couple hours. Nothing better to do. My eyes may have stung, my shoulders may have ached, but now my mind was quiet. Tired, worn out, but quiet. I enjoy the stillness here.Â
I just want to sleep.Â

âis that⊠is that how you normally hold conversations with people? cause I imagine if youâre possessing someone, like actually, actively possessing them, thereâs a whole lotta one-sided talking going on.â
âConversingâs such a humble means of communication -- why bother exerting energy, drawing answers outâta little monkey men, when I could just crawl in your ear?â An earthy sniff, the sort of huff that comes from a bull, he then chomped down on an apple, juice dripped down his chin, âyou want some fruit? Câmon -- relax a little.âÂ

   It had been a good ten minutes since heâd left the stranger with his briefcase, he came barreling around the corner, ârun!â Jimmy barked, as he caught sight of the person, âI said fuckinâ run!â This scheme had gone sideways pretty quickly, shit he shouldâve stayed out of, shit he couldnât resist. Behind him came three mall Santaâs in numerous states of undress, one was just in his red trousers and dirty wife-beater.Â
   Jimmy was off, pounding pavement, leaving the stranger he had just associated himself with publicly -- in front of the looming Santaâs -- in his wake.Â

   The last place you want to be in the wee hours of Christmas morning was a strangers kitchen. The apartment had been commandeered, there was a couple spooning on the couch in the smoke-filled living room, light-covered tree sparkling in the darkness. Jimmy was still high, making the unfortunate move to smoke MDMA a few hours back. He was stood in his boxers, and his timbs, with both the fridge and freezer open -- still sweating profusely, lips dryly smacking together, jaw twitching to itâs own beat. Â
   âMan --â his breath was heavy in the air in front of him, he grabbed the frozen peas, mopped his brow, then held them to his nuts, âitâs so fucking hot in here.âÂ

   He put down the shovel, wiped his brow with his arm, âthis is a bullshit way to spend Christmas eve,â he said, as if this wasnât entirely his fault. He hopped out the hole, took a moment to dust himself off, shunted the sheet-covered corpse into the hole before spitting âgood fucking riddance.âÂ

âI can see that.â Of course she couldâ she hadnât even looked at him yet, her copper eyes locked in on the geese above. This wasnât ethical and sheâs sure that finding this funny would be a purely human conditionâŠbut there is food falling from the sky, and that was rather novel.
Although his aim is good, the first goose ended up falling outside the perimeters of his penthouse roof and down to the city below. What a waste.
The second, however, was a bit closerâ much like a hunting dog, she races after it, catching it by the neck before it has a chance to fall off the edge.Â
Iona is pleased with her catch.
He scowled at her, at first, as she bolted off to get the goose. She was a scavenger, but unlike his peers she wasnât a benign pilot fish, she wasnât swimming in his wake -- merely lurking behind him wherever he went. She knew there would be a meal in it for her, but that scowl turned to thought. He wondered if he could use this.Â
âWere you ever normal?â Jimmy asked, turning his attention back to the V formation in the smog-filled sky. âLike, you were born the way you are, right? You werenât turned like a -- a vampire or nothinâ, right?â Another shot, he missed this time. âFigured if that was the deal youâd be a little more uh, violent. Instead of waiting for me to serve you like a fucking bellboy or whatever.âÂ
