#“Look at what they've done to my boy...”

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

Do you feel like if the kravenbros are still in denial of the incest, that dimitri would be more likely to fuck randos who look like his brother or to shapeshift into kraven to fuck twinks who look how he (dima) originally did.

the way I see it there's like three main options for what these two have going on within the canon of the film

first and least fun is of course that they've just been brooding in repressed mutual attraction for years and haven't ever done anything about it. to me this is probably the version where they'd be most likely to be fucking guys who remind them of each other, or at least Dmitri would. personally I find movie Kraven kind of deeply sexless overall, contrary to the abundance of kravenxreader fics cluttering the movie tag. this isn't my up of tea but it's great for a very specific brand of angst and slowburn or whatever tickles your ass.

then you've got the Big Sad option where the boys were coping with their shared miserable upbringing as teens by being maladjusted brotherboyfriends who were hooking up on the sly at boarding school and whenever their dad wasn't looking. they both remember that it happened but they've never spoken about it since so it's just this weird vibe of hanging out with your ex on his birthday every year without ever unpacking the very emotional breakup and also he's your brother. makes the abandonment of it all way more painful, adds some DELICIOUS layers of hurt, resentment, guilt, etc to their adult relationship. this one is really juicy story-wise and I can easily be sold on it, especially for a less comedic take on them.

the dumbest and sluttiest interpretation, which is obviously the one I prefer, is that they were already being weird as teens and as adults these absolute dunce caps have been getting together to fuck nasty on Dmitri's birthday for years and aren't even really bothering to try to hide it. everyone in their immediate vicinity just makes a little vomit face and looks away whenever the brothers are having a homo moment because no one wants to deal with it and Kraven bites. they still have a lot of repressed Feelings(TM) that they're simply not touching because they're both fucked up and awful but they are also, crucially, fucking. the gay sex isn't helping but it does make things funnier.

•••

The night at Camp Half-Blood is thick with tension and desire. The fire crackled, casting a warm glow on the faces of the demigods gathered around it.

Percy, Connor, and Leo have been passing around a flask, their laughter growing louder and more uninhibited with each drink. Their eyes keep drifting to you, lingering on your body, especially your breasts. Percy notices their stares and a cocky grin spreads across his face.

"Enjoying the view, assholes?" Percy calls out, his voice mocking. "You two better keep your eyes to yourselves, or I might just have to share my girl with you. But remember, she's all mine."

Connor and Leo exchange glances, their cheeks flushing with a mix of embarrassment and excitement. They know they've been caught, but the alcohol in their systems makes them bolder.

As the night goes on, the boys continue to drink, their inhibitions lowering with each swig. Percy, seeing their growing boldness, decides to have a bit of fun. "You know what? I'm feeling generous," he says, a sly smile playing on his lips. "I'll let you two have a little taste of what's mine. But only this once, and only if you promise to behave."

Connor and Leo nod eagerly, their eyes wide with anticipation. Percy turns to you, his hands gripping your hips as he pulls you against him. "What do you say, princess? Want to give these boys a show they'll never forget?"

You nod, your breath hitching with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Percy leads you to a secluded spot behind one of the cabins, the firelight casting long, seductive shadows. He turns to you, his hands roaming your body, and leans down to whisper in your ear, "Be a good girl and suck their cocks while I fuck you from behind. But remember, you're mine. They can have your mouth, but your pussy is all mine."

You shiver, your body responding to his dominant tone. You turn to Connor and Leo, dropping to your knees, and take them both in your hands, stroking them slowly. Connor and Leo groan, their heads falling back as you take turns sucking them, your tongue swirling around their lengths. Percy, meanwhile, has lifted your skirt, his hands gripping your ass as he positions himself at your entrance. He enters you slowly, inch by inch, his breath hissing out as he fills you completely.

"You like that, don't you?" Percy growls, his hips beginning to move in a slow, deliberate rhythm. "You like having their cocks in your mouth while I fuck you from behind."

You moan around Connor's cock, the sound vibrating through him, making his knees weak. Percy starts to move faster, his hips thrusting against you, his hands gripping your hips tightly. You match his rhythm, your body moving in sync with his as you pleasure Connor and Leo with your mouth and hands.

The boys are a mess of groans and curses, their bodies tensing as you bring them closer to the edge. Percy, feeling their impending release, increases his pace, his hips slapping against you, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "Fuck, you feel so good," he groans, his voice a low rumble. "But remember, boys, this is a one-time thing. She's mine, and mine alone."

Connor and Leo can't hold back any longer, their orgasms ripping through them, their cocks pulsing in your mouth and hand. You swallow, your body trembling with need as Percy continues to pound into you, his own release building.

With a final, powerful thrust, Percy comes, his body shaking, his grip on your hips bruising. He leans down, his forehead resting against your back as he catches his breath. You turn to look at Connor and Leo, their chests heaving, their eyes filled with satisfaction and awe.

But Percy isn't done with you yet. He pulls out, turning you around to face him. He kisses you, his tongue exploring your mouth, tasting Connor and Leo on your lips. "Good girl," he murmurs, his hands cupping your face. You smile, your body sated, your heart full. 

Percy leads you back to the fire, his arm around your waist, possessing you. The other demigods at camp watch, their eyes wide with a mix of awe and envy. Percy sits down, pulling you onto his lap, his hands roaming your body possessively. "You're mine," he whispers, his voice a low growl. "And I want them to see it. Tonight was a one-time thing, but I want to make sure they remember who you belong to."

Connor and Leo join you by the fire, their eyes still glazed with desire and satisfaction. Percy leans back, a smug smile on his face, as he watches them. "You boys want more?" he asks, his tone mocking. Connor and Leo nod, their breaths quickening again.

Percy stands up, pulling you with him. He turns you around, his hands gripping your hips, and bends you over slightly. "Show them what's theirs," he growls, his voice a low rumble. You comply, your body responding to his dominant tone. You turn to Connor and Leo, dropping to your knees, and take them both in your hands, stroking them slowly.

Percy enters you from behind, his movements slow and deliberate, teasing both you and the audience of eager demigods. You moan, your body arching back against him, your hands working Connor and Leo's cocks in sync with his thrusts.

The demigods watching are a mess of groans and curses, their bodies tensing as they watch you pleasure Connor and Leo. Percy, feeling their anticipation, increases his pace, his hips slapping against you, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "Fuck, you feel so good," he groans, his voice a low rumble.

Connor and Leo are losing their minds, their eyes wild with desire as they watch you suck and stroke them. "Fuck, your mouth is incredible," Connor groans, his hands tangling in your hair. Leo, not to be outdone, reaches out to touch your breast, but Percy swiftly smacks his hand away. "Hands off, Leo. You get her mouth, that's it," he growls, a low warning.

Leo nods, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he tries to maintain control. You can feel Percy's jealousy radiating off him, but it only serves to turn you on more. You love being the center of his attention, the object of his desire and possession.

Percy's hips move faster, his thrusts more urgent as he nears his release. "Fuck, I'm close," he grunts, his voice strained. Connor and Leo, sensing his impending orgasm, increase their own efforts, their hips thrusting into your mouth and hand.

With a final, powerful thrust, Percy comes, his body shaking, his grip on your hips bruising. He leans down, his forehead pressing against your back as he rides out the waves of pleasure. You turn to look at Connor and Leo, their faces flushed, their eyes wild with satisfaction and awe.

Percy pulls out, turning you around to face him. He kisses you deeply, his tongue exploring your mouth, tasting the remnants of Connor and Leo on your lips. "You were incredible, as always," he murmurs, his hands cupping your face tenderly. You smile up at him, your heart swelling with love and contentment.

As they all catch their breath, Percy's possessiveness becomes even more apparent. He pulls you close, his arm around your waist, staking his claim. Connor and Leo, still in a daze, start to reach for you again, but Percy growls, a low, warning sound that sends shivers down your spine. "Remember your place, boys," he says, his voice a low rumble. "She's mine."

Connor and Leo nod, their eyes wide with a mix of fear and respect. They know that Percy is the alpha here, and they've been given a rare treat, but it's a treat that comes with a warning: you belong to Percy, and Percy alone.

You look up at Percy, your eyes shining with love and desire. "I'm yours, Percy," you whisper, your voice soft and sincere. He smiles down at you, his thumb brushing your cheek. "Damn right, you are," he murmurs, his voice a low growl. And with that, he kisses you, sealing his claim, his possession, his love.

The night continues, and Percy's possessiveness only grows. He smacks Connor's hand away when he tries to touch your breast again, and Leo gets a warning growl when he leans in to kiss your neck. "I said one time, and that's final," Percy asserts, his voice firm and final. "You two got your fun, now remember who she belongs to."

Connor and Leo, their minds foggy with desire and alcohol, nod but their hands wander again, touching you in places they shouldn't. Percy's jealousy flares, and he pulls you away from them, his arms wrapping around you protectively. "Mine," he growls, his voice a low rumble. "You're all mine, and don't you fucking forget it."

You look up at him, your eyes wide with surprise and arousal. "Percy," you whisper, your voice a soft plea. He kisses you, his tongue exploring your mouth, his hands roaming your body possessively. "You're mine, and I'm not sharing you with anyone else," he murmurs against your lips.

Connor and Leo watch, their eyes wide with a mix of awe and envy. They know they've been given a gift, a night with the most desirable girl at camp, but they also know that Percy is the lucky one, the one who gets to keep you.

Percy turns you around, his hands gripping your hips, and bends you over slightly. "Show them what's theirs," he growls, his voice a low rumble. You comply, your body responding to his dominant tone. You turn to Connor and Leo, dropping to your knees, and take them both in your hands, stroking them slowly.

Percy enters you from behind, his movements slow and deliberate, teasing both you and the audience of eager demigods. You moan, your body arching back against him, your hands working Connor and Leo's cocks in sync with his thrusts.

The demigods watching are a mess of groans and curses, their bodies tensing as they watch you pleasure Connor and Leo. Percy, feeling their anticipation, increases his pace, his hips slapping against you, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "Fuck, you feel so good," he groans, his voice a low rumble.

Connor and Leo are beside themselves, their eyes glazed with lust as they watch you suck and stroke them. "Your mouth is pure magic," Connor moans, his fingers digging into your scalp. Leo, trying to regain some control, reaches out to touch your breast again, but Percy swiftly smacks his hand away. "I said hands off, Leo," Percy warns, his voice a low growl.

Leo nods, his chest heaving as he tries to rein in his desires. You can feel the intensity of Percy's jealousy, but it only heightens your arousal. Being the sole focus of his desire and possession is intoxicating.

Percy's thrusts become more urgent, his body tensing as he nears his climax. "I'm close, princess," he grunts, his voice strained with effort. Connor and Leo, feeling the urgency, match his pace, their hips thrusting wildly as they chase their own releases.

With a final, powerful thrust, Percy comes, his body shaking with the force of his orgasm. He leans down, his forehead pressing against your back as he rides out the waves of pleasure. You turn to look at Connor and Leo, their faces flushed, their eyes wild with satisfaction and awe.

Percy pulls out, turning you around to face him. He kisses you deeply, his tongue exploring your mouth, tasting the remnants of Connor and Leo on your lips. "You were incredible, as always," he murmurs, his hands cupping your face tenderly. You smile up at him, your heart swelling with love and contentment.

As the night comes to a close, Percy's possessiveness is clear to everyone. He keeps you close, his arm around your waist, a silent warning to anyone who might try to take what's his. Connor and Leo, still in a daze, nod in understanding, knowing that they've had their one and only chance with you.

You look up at Percy, your eyes shining with love and desire. "I'm yours, Percy," you whisper, your voice soft and sincere. He smiles down at you, his thumb brushing your cheek. "Damn right, you are," he murmurs, his voice a low growl. And with that, he kisses you, sealing his claim, his possession, his love, for all to see.

No idea if this has been asked before, and there's too many answers to go through for me to ACTUALLY find it- question for Slasher boys!

If the reader was, let's say, hurt by their family and possibly kicked out for coming out to their family as gay, bi, trans, or anything along the LGBTQ+ spectrum before they went off to college, how would the Slasher boys react to finding out that tidbit of knowledge?

ANOTHER THING- EXPECT ART OF MY READER INSERT AT SOME POINT IN TIME WHEN I FIGURE OUT MOST OF HIS DESIGN. You have a moth lover reader insert coming at ya, prepare yourself for tiny, moth color painted desk helper robots he collects and names, and prepare yourself for cute, moth themed jackets

I think there is a way to go to the magnifying glass and search posts by words/tags they contain! It's easier than going through the whole blog. If anything, I usually will link you an answer if it's been previously answered! So, no worries! This one hasn't been answered.

They seem fine at a glance. Of course they are sorry you had to go through that and are upset by it, but really, it's hard to see how upset they are by it. Like the tight fists and the bitten tongues and the pure rage trying to seep out of their skin. They focus on you when you tell. They make it about you and how they are worried about you and your feelings. They don't let you see just how worked up they are from hearing something so terrible.

Hope that these boys don't know your home address and hope that you don't give them time to find out! Also hope that you are clear on who was bad and who was good to you in your family. Otherwise you might just find that they are taking a "trip" for a few days! Where are they going? Oh, nowhere special. Just a little place they know that they want to spend a little time at. Oh? You want to come? Sorry, but maybe next time! They just need a little them time is all!

And if you look and see in the papers that your family was massacred, don't even worry about it! You get calls about them all passing away under a mysterious attack? Murderers that look to have killed in cold blood. That's so strange! Who could have done it? And Soleil and Atlas come back and ask you how you've been while they've been away and you tell them of this "tragedy" and they wonder what on earth could have happened! They comfort you a lot; they do know even separated family can have complicated ties to a person, but they assure you everything will be alright. They were so cruel to you. They didn't deserve you. You're better off without them. They'll help you through this. Everything will be ok <3 And you know, you are perfect just the way you are, right? No one could ever tell you differently, you know? Not on their watches. Not. On. Their. Watches.

In reality, this is a hard one for both of them to hear. Soleil has some major problems accepting his own sexuality while Atlas's mom has major problems accepting his sexuality and his older-half sibling's, Deimos, sexuality and gender identity. Soleil is scared his family and the world would despise him for coming out and accepting his feelings (which I will tell you, would never happen with his family. They are a very accepting group of people and love him no matter what) while Atlas's mom wants to save her children for her god (who she assumes is their god naturally.) Atlas thinks it's horseshit, and will openly flaunt how in love he is with Soleil around her and that Deimos is fucking Monty behind her back (which she full-heartedly denies,) and that her god can screw themself. He's not worried about other people's opinions like that. Especially not his mom's.

They take care of you in the way they know how.

-

I look forward to your self insert!!! I live to see them all! 🥰💕 Poor Soleil will have a time! He's terrified of most flying insects but especially of butterflies with moths as a close second! He's a fearful guy! But I LOVE MOTHS SO I'M EXCTIED!

[dootznbootz]

I'm so fucking scared of that new Diomedes musical that people are talking about y'all. like I enjoy Epic to a degree but Diomedes is literally one of THE most mischaracterized character in all the fandom and I'm so scared at how he'll be butchered even more.

I have beef with TCW Anakin

[fantasticalleigh]

Rewatching old RAW from 2020 and it’s so interesting to see how the Randy vs Drew feud went down because there wasn’t that much intensity behind it so when they announced their Hell in a Cell match I just sat there like huh neato. But seeing how differently (and WELL) built the Punk vs. Drew feud was handled leading up to HIAC and all the emotion and excellent promos and hatred behind it is incredible. The difference is literally night and day (and Drew and CM Punk have chemistry for days compared to Randy vs. Drew).

Of course one has to factor in that the Orton vs. Macintyre feud feels like it was a lot shorter (I haven't checked to see how long it lasted but it definitely doesn't feel like 10-11 months' worth of content) and of course there was different leadership at the time AND it was in the Covid Thunderdome era so of course all that impacted the show heavily but it still has to be noted how much better one feud was executed over the other.

Also “I’m Randy fucking Orton and I demand the WHC title for the 13th time because I say so” is much much much less compelling as an opponent for Drew over “you injured me and halted my career for several months, then stole something precious from me and mocked my family, thus invoking the pettiest fucking man in the roster. It’s fucking go time.”

In 2020 Drew was a huge babyface, having come back and proven himself as worthy of champion status. He was a fighting champion and let anyone who wanted a shot at the title to try. He'd had his own irl hero's journey to make his way back to the WWE and got along with most of the roster and seemed well-liked by most. He was cocky but honorable and booked like a beast.

In 2023-24 so far he’s the broken down, deeply bitter, deeply angry man who’s been disillusioned by everything that’s happened to him to the point he’s turned into the opposite of what he once was. It’s been absolutely fascinating to go through the archives and see how he is such an opposite of who he used to be. He’ll blame everyone but himself for the challenges he’s faced and each loss he’s taken. He’s so determined to get back the gold, he’s blinded to everything else and doles out destruction wherever he goes. And Punk brings out the worst in him and he brings out the worst in Punk. They're holding up mirrors to each other fighting over who gets to say they've been wronged the most. They had months of slowburn where Punk was out injured and it was just Drew in the ring with a mic and it still delivered. And (though I haven't watched the Drew/Orton HIAC yet) at this point, having watched (and gone insane over the punkintyre HIAC match) I don't think anything can compare to that at this point.

There's more I could and would like to add to this but I've rambled beyond the point I set out to make so I'll cut myself off here.

(Must add the caveat that I know there are huge swaths of lore and character developments I'm missing from 2019+2021-23 and everything behind that. I only started watching WWE in March of this year and have picked through content to watch and learn from over on Youtube and Peacock. Currently I'm only focusing on all the RAW 2020 episodes but will continue in chronological order and maybe do the same for Smackdown starting in 2020 at a later date. There just...so much to get through... @-@)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episodes 111 & 112 Subbed (Finalized)

(Previously: Episode 110 Subbed [Finalized])

(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)

TURN-111: Manjoume and Amon of the Cloud Deck

Realizing that Amon has been investigating nearby, Cobra urges him to engage in a Dis-Duel. Amon also suspects that Cobra has become aware of his actions and is coming for his life, putting a certain plan into action. Elsewhere, Manjoume is bothered by Amon and looks up his profile. Learning that he is the first son of the Garam Conglomerate as a result, Manjoume goes to ask Amon to duel with him. Using his Cloud deck, Amon baits Manjoume into attacking him.

TURN-112: Manjoume VS Eye of the Typhoon

Manjoume summons V-to-Z-Dragon Catapult Cannon, raining its raging assault down on Amon--but Amon just takes it, a composed smile on his face before he finally begins his counterattack.* He opens two of his reversed cards--Rain Storm and Natural Disaster--and uses their effects to inflict damage on Manjoume. Manjoume then fights back, only for Amon's combo to drive him further into a predicament--but an undeterred Manjoume attempts a counterattack with Ojama Delta Thunder, but... *The summary here mentions V-to-Z attacking, but in the episode proper, V-to-Z doesn't actually get to attack Amon--at most, Manjoume used its effect on him near the end of 111, while VW- and XYZ- were the ones that attacked there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*cue "In the Clouds" by Under the Influence of Giants*

After a bit of a delay, my subs for episodes 111 and 112 are now finalized! An interesting duo of episodes that show Amon's calculating character and give us the first hint of his backstory (and why he'll do what he does as the season goes on, for better or worse), while Manjoume's brought to reflect on the inferiority complex that has been fueling him only for Amon to break it to him that it actually makes him the spoiled one; I do like the reveal of Amon coming from the background that he does and that he likely would've died in the desert had it not been for Goa Garam finding him (the dub, for all of the... frustrating writing choices they made in these, keeps this mostly intact). Also, Manjoume channeling more Kaiba by making their duel happen in midair suspended by helicopters, A+.

(A few quick Translation Notes here before going on:

As Manjoume looks up info on Amon and pulls up his profile in 111, I edited in my translation for it, as well as retranslated the screen describing the Garam Conglomerate, for the hardsub as detailed here.

As Chronos and Napoleon run into Samejima's office in 112, they find a note from Samejima reading, "I am going on a business trip for a while. Handle things here. Samejima."--as detailed below the cut, I applied a translation to it for the hardsub.)

Animation error-wise, a fair amount throughout both, ranging from quality-of-watching like split-screen timing to card errors and even an error or two with some parts of characters not being fully drawn in. There was also one error in 112 involving Manjoume on his airlifted platform where... the platform and the ropes holding it up were missing that I attempted to fix but ultimately scrapped. As always, details on those and the translation edits I applied further below for the interested!

Also, some housekeeping, as I touched up quite a few things in the last couple of weeks: while working on the translated credits for these, I noticed some minor errors that I fixed for consistency throughout a few episodes, along with one in-episode sub error, and also revised 110 for a few updates. Quick rundown below, but tl;dr episodes 4, 77, 81, 83, 89, 91, 95, 104, 106, and 110 have been re-finalized and re-uploaded (hopefully for the last time lol), and I updated the links in their individual release posts (I'll be re-posting them over on NAC with 111 and 112's release soon):

Revised episode 4 to update the "V-to-Z Dragon Catapult Cannon" name to "V-to-Z-Dragon Catapult Cannon," as well as its attack name from "V-to-Z! Ultimate Destruction!!" (with "V-to-Z!" shouted like a normal line) to "V-to-Z-Ultimate Destruction!!", for consistency with finalized!111.

Missed that the one Backgrounds credit for Hwa Ran Kim had their last name updated to Lee as of episode 77--I corrected this for episodes 77, 81, 83, 89, 91, and 95.

Missed that the one In-Between Animation credit for Eun Young Sin had their last name updated to Shin as of 104--only had to correct this for 104 since their last episode was 85 as "Sin" and their first episode in Season 3 is 111. Also corrected 104's Key Animation credits for some subtitle-positioning miscalculations.

Missed that the one Photography credit for Jung Yul Kim was updated to Joung Ryul Kim as of episode 81, and while I updated accordingly for most of their episodes after that, I missed two instances of "Jung Yul Kim" still being there in 81 and 83--corrected both accordingly.

Missed that I kept "Big Bro" for Ojama Yellow's "aniki" towards Manjoume in 106 when I've been using "Bro" for that--corrected accordingly.

110's revisions: 1) updated two of Cobra's lines as he watches Jim and Kenzan collapsed to match updates I made while preparing 111's script (one was changed to "So, a duelist’s instinct is to battle..." and the second to "Their energy is going to fuel it..." while being made a thought subtitle [as there's less environmental reverb to that line versus his spoken first line there], 2) fixing the Kenzan Disk-related animation error I cover here that I missed initially, and 3) revised the cast credits to fix some sub-positioning errors.

Anywho, enjoy; with these done, we'll be getting into start of some meta questions being posed to Judai that will be pretty relevant for how the rest of S3 goes, so look forward to 113 and 114 next time! I'll also be going back to TFSP for a brief bit to work on retranslating more of the character bios as I've been (catching up to Aki's before I work on more of the 5D's story to then work on bios as I work on stories); stay tuned!

Fixes and Edits! (111)

As Professor Ayukawa tries to tell Cobra just how bad the fatigue among students is from the Dis-Duels compared to normal duels, Cobra lifts his hand to stop her, saying that he's en route to see a "problem student" (Amon)--but his hand isn't fully drawn in for the first three quick frames of it moving. Fixed all three using Photoshop by drawing in the rest of his pinkie finger in each frame, using Sony Vegas to throw the fixed frames into the footage.

As Amon analyses his Dis-Belt, his computer reads out the different parts of the Dis-Belt, but "generator card" is misspelled as "jeneretar card." Fixed by first using Photoshop on the last frame of the zoom-in here to fix the typo, copy/pasting the correct letters from the other text on the screen (rather than using a new font), then reversed the clip in Sony Vegas so I could use AfterEffects to work the fixed frame in using Track Motion--this was my first edit attempted using Track Motion, and I think it worked well (though I probably didn't need to reverse it but oh well). Once that was done, I threw the edited clip into Vegas, where I unreversed it and worked some fading magic to make the fixed text fade in with everything else as the zoom-in happens--all told, I think it came out nicely!

As previously mentioned here, as Manjoume digs up Amon's profile, I edited in a slightly updated translation I worked on for the hardsub, now with hyperlinks, as well as working in a close-up edit as Manjoume clicks on "Garam Conglomerate" and a retranslation of the webpage describing the Garam Conglomerate that Manjoume's taken to.

As a frustrated Manjoume insists he's not petty enough now to let comparing his family's fortune to Amon's get to him and that he's been on his own path since taking on the "Manjoume Thunder" name, there's a quick frame as he moves his head down where the open lip flap in the following frame is accidentally overlaid over his closed mouth. A quick fix as I just replaced that frame with the preceding closed-mouth frame.

After Amon starts the Dis-Duel tourney at his party and the students start dueling, one plays Trojan Horse on their Disk, but it's placed in reverse on his Disk, with the name box facing the front of his Disk. Fixed in AE by applying a proxy facing correctly, masking in the border on the original card and the student's fingers on it.

After Manjoume and Amon take off into the air, as Judai and co sneak up about to go snatch some food from the party hall, the wind picks up around them as Manjoume and Amon pass them overhead--but for two movement frames (repeated twice, lasting two frames each) as their hair moves from the wind, Judai's left hair bang and his forehead bangs get cut off by parts of his face. If I had to guess, the animators accidentally left parts of a layer with Judai's face above the layers with those parts of his hair or something. Fixed both using Photoshop by drawing in the rest of those pieces of hair, guessing at their length with what was visible, then mixed the fixed frames into the footage in Vegas.

After Manjoume tells Amon that they're going to settle their score, Amon asks what will happen if he declines; Manjoume then slides in on a split-screen to say that he'll cut the wire holding up his platform, but Amon starts moving for it two frames before Manjoume's side starts to slide in. Fixed in Vegas by making Manjoume slide in right as Amon starts moving.

[cont]

(8) A bit later, as Manjoume activates Premature Burial, 1) in a quick few frames as he swings his arm, we see VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon on his Disk already when he should still have VW-Tiger Catapult, and 2) as he slides the card into his Disk and pays his 800 LP, we see a blank space (or the sky behind him) where VW- should be. Fixed both in AE by applying a proxy, then lighting up the card as the light from his Cemetery slot glows outward.

(9) As we zoom out from Amon having summoned four Sheep Cloud Tokens, Manjoume's taken aback as Amon slides in on a split-screen to explain Sheep Cloud's effect, but two things happen: 1) as Amon slides in, his Summon Cloud card in his Disk--which was there throughout the zoom-out--suddenly vanishes, and 2) as their split-screen slides apart, Amon seems to move within his split, causing the background behind the split-screen going into the next shot as we pan up the field to seep into his split. Fixed these using Vegas by first masking in Amon's Summon Cloud card within his Disk as he slides in, then by redoing the split-out so that Amon stays as he is within his split; as I had to redo the pan slightly behind them for the duration of the slide-out, I also had to briefly redo Manjoume's split-out and mask in his Different Dimension Hangar for a few frames.

(10) Near the end of the episode, as Manjoume sets a card down to end his turn, he has XYZ-Dragon Cannon on his Disk where VWXYZ should be. Fixed in AE by applying a proxy, then applying motion blurring as the screen rapid-pans up to his face.

Fixes and Edits! (112)

As the episode opens, I reprised the XYZ->VWXYZ fix I applied as Manjoume ends his turn during the brief recap of 111.

As Amon starts his turn, he tributes his four Sheep Cloud Tokens to summon Cloudian -- Nimbusman; he then goes on to say that Nimbusman lets him tribute as many Water-Attribute Monsters as he wants [for his second effect, as he mentions two shots later], but as he does so, the screen pans towards him, and we see he already has Cloudian -- Poison Cloud on his Disk, which wouldn't be summoned for another 8-9 minutes. Applying my new Track Motion knowledge, I fixed this in AE to nice effect by first tracking the motion of the shot's panning, then applying a proxy and attributing the keyframes generated to it for a smooth edit (which beats the hell out of how I'd manually keyframe one edited frame in Vegas for panning/zooming shots like this lol). [Side-note, but the way 4Kids decided to dubify the card here (while also keeping the error, mind you) seems to have been to take part of Amon's Disk with the dubified card in place and move it along with the pan, which is noticeable because the area around the piece they edited in warbles during the pan. Also, a frame of the Japanese card slips through a frame before their edit starts.]

After Shou comments on how Manjoume's about to easily beat the East Campus champion Amon, Judai and Johan chime in about how neat Amon's deck is; Shou comments that, neat or not, Manjoume's still dominating things, and after Judai laments that it's all win or lose, Johan says he has to hand it to his cloud-obsessed spirit--but after he says that, Shou oddly jitters three frames before the end of the shot as if to gasp, though doesn't audibly do so. Quickly fixed in Vegas by replacing that with the previous frame to keep him still.

A bit later, after Amon gets his Rain Storm and Natural Disaster going with Nimbusman, it dawns on Manjoume that it was what he was planning the whole time; the screen cracks apart to show Amon about to destroy his Hyper Coat Trap, but as the screen splits apart, one side of the split takes an extra frame to slide offscreen. Fixed in Vegas by replacing it with the following split-less frame so both sides slide off together.

After Amon has Ghost Fog attack V-to-Z, an annoyed Manjoume tells the fog to disappear, but for a quick frame, his closed mouth vanishes as he starts turning to V-to-Z to have it fight back. A quick fix in Vegas by masking in his closed mouth and mouth shadow from the previous frame.

After Amon summons Poison Cloud, we have the inverse of #2 happen as Nimbusman is instead on his Disk in Defense Mode. Fixed in AE after another bit of Track Motion use, with the keyframes generated for the shot's panning here applied to the proxy I put into place on his Disk.

A bit later, as Manjoume activates Angel's/Graceful Charity, he draws his three cards, but as he slides them into his hand to grab two to discard, there's a quick frame where it looks like he actually drew four cards. Fixed using Photoshop to wipe away the extra card border on the third card he drew, stretching from his right middle finger to his left middle finger.

As Amon slips Wonder Cloud into his Disk as he activates it, the shot of his Disk isn't fully in the frame, as there's a thick black bar along the bottom. Fixed this in Vegas by slightly cropping the shot to remove it, uncropping as the screen pans up to Amon's face.

As Amon explains Eye of the Typhoon's Battle-Mode-switching effect, a surprised Manjoume slides in on a split-screen to react, but Amon moves for it a frame before his split starts to slide in. Fixed in Vegas by having Manjoume start sliding in right as Amon starts to move.

(10) Chronos and Napoleon, in panic, run into Samejima's office demanding that he put an end to the Dis-Duels, only to find a note he left for them on his desk. For the hardsub, I translated the note, reading, "I am going on a business trip for a while. Handle things here. Samejima," by creating a new image with the translation in Photoshop, then CC-Power-Pinning it into place in AE and masking in the edges of the original note for blending. (I also made an edit using the dub's version of the note, as read by Crowler, for reasons.)

(11) In the next shot, Chronos walks up to grab the note, but there's a quick frame where part of it is missing as it passes by Napoleon. Fixed this by filling it out in Photoshop. Additionally, I also applied my translation for the note here in AE for the hardsub, using the Mesh Warp effect to warp it along the edges of the original note as Chronos lifts it up. (And I also worked my dub note edit in.)

(12) After reading the note, Chronos shows it to Napoleon in disbelief, Napoleon nervously asking what they should do now as we fade to black to end the episode. For the hardsub, I applied my translation (and also the dub version) in AE, using one video track applying the Mesh Warp effect to it for a few of the initial frames as Chronos moves it towards Napoleon where it's still bent, then just using the CC Power Pin effect for the remaining frames, and masking in Chronos's hand over it; once done, I took the edit into Vegas where I re-faded it to black.

(13) In the preview for 113, we see Professor Satou's Demandman attacking Air Hummingbird, but there's a black space on Judai's Disk where Air Hummingbird should be as he moves while the attack connects. I fixed this first in 113 proper, applying a proxy using AE and masking in Demandman's wires over it, then applied the fix to the Japanese preview here by additionally masking in part of the episode title text back over it.

One fix I attempted but scrapped: a few shots later using Angel's/Graceful Charity, Manjoume uses Enchanting Fitting Room to summon his three Ojamas, but notably, the platform he should be standing on, as well as the ropes leading to the wire holding it up, are missing (you can see a gap in Manjoume's feet where the platform should be). As mentioned here, I attempted a fix here using a similar shot later in the episode, and while I think it could've been doable with another bit of Track Motion (and probably some masking to account for Fitting Room fading out), I scrapped it as I didn't have a good enough reference to use with more properly redrawing Manjoume's legs and shoes.

Kinda whack when you're a huge fan of a longfic fanfic for a media work that you're not that big a fan of because it's just that good.

Am I fan of Fallout 3 or Fallout 4? Not particularly. They're fine but kinda bad, and yet every time this ongoing Fallout fic with 700k+ words (so far) gets a new chapter I go feral and have to restrain myself from installing the games.

it's so over my god

[shotmrmiller]

ghost getting himself a cute, soft girl he doesn't talk about much but is clearly obsessed with and price just thinks it's nice he's finally settled down, approves of the home he's made for himself, definitely approves of the one he's taken for himself.

soap asks kyle if he's seen you and he says, "yep. lovely bird he's got tucked away in her little dollhouse. makes great food, too." soap swears there's a subtle shift in his tone when he says "lovely", a hint of something deeper that flickers in his eyes for just a moment. soap simply sucks on his teeth, letting it slide. (although he knows that kyle's always been one to appreciate the good things in life.)

interest gnaws at him, a persistent itch he can't scratch. price likes you just fine, as does kyle. well what about him? he decides to bite the bullet and goes to simon with a knot between his brows, the corners of his lips tugged downwards. they've shared clothes, bullets, beds. if the other two got to meet you, why can't he?

"ya can come over for dinner on tonight. she'd 'ave my neck if she didn't formally meet ya anyway."

soap then asks, out of genuine curiosity more than anything else, if simon would have kept you in the dark from him hadn't he brought you up himself.

"ya meet 'er when i want ya to, boy, and not a moment before." the tone he takes is unmistakeable. his words are a command, not a suggestion, and soap instantly knows to not push further.

soap nods. "ah'll be there."

"course ya will. she'd be terribly disappointed otherwise."

yeah, he'd hate to have that.

soap sits in the living room, the soft glow of the lamp casting a warm light over the cozy place. with a full stomach and an unfastened belt, nursing a glass of kentucky. he can't remember the last time he ate that well or that much.

maybe it's the alcohol that loosens his tongue, or the fact that he wishes he also had a sweet little thing to keep at his side just like simon's doing with you now, but the thoughts he's been mulling over all evening since he first saw you tumble out of his mouth.

"while ah can attest to yer taste in sweethearts, can't say much about your alcohol. bourbon, LT?" he says, chest warm.

simon's arm tightens around your hips, fingers splayed possessively over your thigh. he shrugs, completely unbothered by the backhanded compliment. "can't be perfect in everythin', can we, sergeant?"

soap's cheeks burn furiously hot when you come to his defense with a smack of your palm onto simon's chest. "be nice to johnny. he's got a face that make up for some of his other flaws."

the teasing lilt in your voice unashamedly gets his southern blood pumping. he can't help it if certain things stir when someone as pretty as you look at him like that. soap swirls the amber liquid gently in the glass while keeping his limpid eyes on you, not even trying to hide the fact that his gaze hasn't wavered since your cheeky little comment.

you then whisper something in simon's ear, your cupped hand not even half the size of his head and soap has to rearrange himself from the outside when your teeth catch your bottom lip. simon looks up at you then, eyes heavy and half lidded, and a smirk plays at the corners of his mouth.

"'m not sure, love. you'll just 'ave to ask 'im yourself. go on."

you open that sweet mouth of yours, but simon cuts you off with a decisive wave of his hand. "no. you know how to ask for things."

your reaction to that is visceral, and you're on your knees faster than his alcohol-muddled brain can comprehend. don't look down 'er shirt, don't look down 'er shirt, don't-

"johnny, will you touch my pussy?"

he splutters at your question, completely taken aback, but it seems you're not done just yet.

"hands to yourself, sergeant. tha' not all."

you pout at simon, one that earns you a look that promises consequence, but do as he says.

"will you touch my pussy, johnny? pretty please?"
