summary ; tom decides to ‘propose’ to you during a dinner with your cast members

pairing ; tom blyth x fem!reader

notes ; TBOSAS cast, fluff, v light mentions of alc? kinda pda, idk js some sweet stuff

a/n ; guys i’m so badly in love with this man like… also this is so short pls forgive me🥲

you and some of the cast from tbosas were back in nyc, celebrating the wrap up of the film at a restaurant with one of the most gorgeous views ever. the city lights, buildings, people, and cars were all visible, and it truly was a sight for sore eyes. you wouldn’t stop babbling about how pretty it was to tom while you waited for the waiters to seat you guys. although he didn’t mind. he simply just nodded along with a smile as you spoke with passion in your eyes.

currently you sat next to your boyfriend, his hand resting lightly on your thigh as you conversed with rachel about how difficult it was to play the guitar. it was something you were always fascinated by but never quite understood.

you felt the warmth of tom’s hand disappear from its place on your thigh. glancing over at him, you saw him fumbling around with a napkin in his hand. you shrugged it off as nothing and continued your conversation with rachel.

“yeah! like it’s just so hard, and don’t even get me started about how much worse it is with nails..” you complained.

“speaking of nails, i need a manicure.” rachel noted, laying her hand out to look at her nails which were in perfect shape.

“oh, don’t remind me.” you chuckled and leaned your head on tom’s shoulder. wiggling your fingers around, you spoke again. "my ring fingers looking quite bare as well... don't you think, baby?"

rachel and josh laughed quietly when tom raised a brow at you, obviously confused as to what you were trying to get at. you shook your head, dismissing him with a laugh.

the waitress poured vodka cranberry into each of your glasses before rachel began to discuss what her dream wedding would be like. hunter piped in, giggling about how cute it'd be for her walk to down the aisle with her dog. you began teasing josh about when he was going to pop the question, earning a playful eye roll from him.

"i should be asking you that! well, tom. you guys have been dating for centuries." he retorted.

the brunette next to you looked up at the mention of his name. the corner of his mouth twitched up into a slight smirk. "actually, its been four years and 9 months."

"so almost half a decade?"

"don't tell me you've got the days and seconds," hunter teased, a grin on her face. you giggled to yourself quietly. knowing how your boyfriend was, he probably did.

tom pressed a kiss to your head and went back to messing around with his napkin as he and josh shot snarky jokes at each other. they settled down when the food arrived, placed in front of you on beautiful tableware. the borders of the plates were painted with golden patterns. the thought of stealing the plate and taking it home had even crossed your mind.

the cold liquid of your cranberry flavored beverage sliced your tongue when you felt a tug on your dress, followed by a familiar accent besides your ear.

“psst. sweetheart,” tom whispered. with a turn of the head, you looked down at his hands. in his hold was a paper napkin shaped into a ring. "will you do me the honor of becoming my... wife? fiance? wait which is it?" he glanced at josh, eliciting a soft laugh from you.

a breathy laugh came from his lips and he brought the ring closer to you. a sweet smile covered your face as you held your hand out. "I would love to be your wife-fiance."

tom slid the paper ring around your ring finger, bringing your hand up to his pink lips and kissing it gently. your friends squealed and clapped, someone groaned and told the two of you to 'get a room'. your lips met tom's for a second before whispering into his ear.

"its wife, by the way."

"stop. i knew that!" he rolled his eyes, nudging you away.

you giggled and wiggled your fingers around, putting your ring out on display for everyone to see. "oh yeahh, I'm an engaged woman now."

"only took four years and 9 months," nick joked from the other side of the table.

you brought the wine glass to your lips, taking another sip. "haters gonna hate."

rachel laughed. tom's hand was back on your thigh, his thumb rubbing against your soft skin. everyone was back to eating and light conversation was heard around the table. strands of brown hair tickled your neck and warm breath hit your ear. "how about we work on making you a pregnant engaged woman?"

you gasped, smacking his forearm. "tom!"

he chuckled against your ear before leaning back. “that wasn’t a no.”

i wanted to write for this man so bad but had no ideas and no motivation so here’s this.. anyways i LOVED the hunger games and im so happy they turned tbosas into a film.

apologies for how poorly written this is LMAO

Hazbin hotel x “Would you love me if I were a worm?” 🪱

A/n: yes we’re doing this. Idk I js thought it’d funny. I wrote this while 🍃 soo ya. Anyways enjoy 🪐🪐 (edit: I’m sober now and I’m embarrassed that I wrote this, Ty for the likes tho)

Adam:

“You’d be so fucking hot as a worm mama⭐️”

“😨”

LMAO

No but actually, he thinks you’d be so hot as a worm

Now Adam doesn’t have a thing for worms, but he has a thing for you.

Who cares if you’re a worm? You’re y/n!! And that’s all that matters to him <33

Alastor:

“A what now? 😀”

“A worm ☺️”

He’d be so confused of even the idea of the question, it’d be too much for him.

Of course, he’d say yes just for the charm, but Yk he’s just joshing.

Husk:

“No?? What the fuck..”

“😔”

Like Alastor, he’d also be so confused on the question.

Sure he def gave an answer, but he was so confused why you even asked him like he was going to say yes

Poor husk, you genuinely had him questioning your intelligence.

Don’t worry, he still loves you! But he just doesn’t wanna be in a relationship with a worm, im pretty sure most of us wouldn’t.

Vox:

*read*

Hey that was on you for texting him

Vox doesn’t feel like putting up with anyone else’s bs today, he already has Velvette and Val on his ass

If you ask him irl then he’s just gonna turn himself off, like straight up 🎚️👈

Relax he’ll be back, but don’t expect him to stick around for long if you ask him again

Lucifer:

“Ofc my love, you’d be the most beautiful worm in hell ❤️”

“Awhh 😭”

He’d actually love you if you were a worm, he’s a loverboy, so he’d talk about how much he’d take care of you.

“I’d feed you apples everyday and I’d make sure to be gentle when kissing you <33”

This man lives and breathes just to love you, and frankly he’s okay with that

Teofimo Lopez Dethrones Josh Taylor in Junior Welterweight Title Showdown

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Published: June 11, 2023

NEW YORK — The Takeover has conquered a second division.

Former unified and lineal lightweight king Teofimo Lopez (19-1, 13 KOs) captured the WBO and Ring Magazine junior welterweight world titles with a 12-round unanimous decision win against former undisputed champion Josh Taylor (19-1, 13 KOs) Saturday evening at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.  In the opening two rounds, Taylor connected with straight left hands and counterpunches to the body. But by rounds three and four, the 32-year-Scotsman began feeling the sting of Lopez’s power.

As a result, his offense became more tentative and the pace of the fight decelerated, allowing Lopez to land his signature power shots.  By rounds five and six, Lopez took a commanding lead as a confused Taylor struggled to find his punching range.

Lopez punctuated his victory in the final rounds with explosive bursts of offense, shades of the vintage 'Teo' who had dominated his adversaries as a lightweight. With scores of 115-113 2x and 117-111, the 25-year old Brooklyn native is now a lineal world champion in two divisions.   “Josh Taylor is a tough dude," said Lopez. "I can see why he beat so many fighters. But you’ve got to counter the counterpuncher. You’ve got to outsmart the man and get in there. And I did that. I think I did enough.This is what it is all about." "I questioned myself for a good reason. You guys don’t understand. I’ve always been my worst critic. And you guys got a little glimpse of it. But I’ve just got to ask you one thing, and one thing only. Do I still got it?”   “I’m so grateful. This was a bout fixing what we needed to. That’s why I don’t leave my coach. I trust in him a lot.   “No excuses," said Taylor. "It wasn’t my best. The better man won tonight. I’ve got no excuses. I fought to the best of my ability. He was better than me tonight. It is what it is. Congratulations to Teofimo.   “I thought it was a close fight. I’d love to do it again. I definitely know I’m better than that, and I know I can beat him still. I’d love to do it again. But he’s the champ, so the ball is in his court."  Zayas Coasts Past Cruz

Junior middleweight phenom Xander Zayas (16-0, 10 KOs) kicked off the Puerto Rican Day Parade festivities without a hitch. The 20-year-old scored a dominant eight-round unanimous decision against California-born veteran Ronald “Diablo” Cruz (18-3-1, 12 KOs) to defend his NABF and NABO belts

In the opening stanza, Zayas landed a counter right hand that floored Cruz. Zayas maintained his composure and began boxing off his jab, stopping only to land two and three-punch combinations.

Cruz, who has never been stopped, resorted to a high guard to avoid punishment, and he managed to connect with an occasional right hand. However, Zayas’ versatility made it virtually impossible for Cruz to land as he was outgunned both on the inside and the outside.

With three scores of 80-71, Zayas takes home the second annual Miguel Cotto Award. “This is a dream come true," said Zayas. "I’m very happy to have fought during Puerto Rican Day Parade weekend. He was a tough guy. I was hitting him with everything. He didn’t want to go down. He was here to fight. He was motivated. He was tough. But we passed with flying colors. Unanimous decision. And we made the adjustments we needed to do.

“He brought out the dog in me. I had to dig deep. I had to stay focused. I had to listen to my corner. And most importantly I had to have fun, which was the most important part. I had the crowd here cheering for me, so I was trying to stay as focused as possible.”

Junior Lightweight: Brazilian Olympic gold medalist Robson Conceicao (17-2, 8 KOs) was just beginning to warm up in his scheduled 10-rounder against Nicolas Polanco (20-4-1, 11 KOs), but an accidental headbutt in the second round forced the referee to stop the fight. The bout was ruled a no contest. Junior Welterweight: Omar Rosario (11-0, 3 KOs), the fighting pride of Caguas, Puerto Rico, tallied a workmanlike eight-round unanimous decision victory against countryman Jan Carlos Rivera (8-2, 6 KOs). Rosario's aggression and short counterpunches were just enough to overcome Rivera's free-swinging style. Scores: 77-75 3x. Heavyweight: Undefeated Polish prospect Damian Knyba (12-0, 7 KOs) defeated Mexico's Helaman Olguin (9-6-1, 4 KOs) via eight-round unanimous decision. Knyba, a 6-foot-7 behemoth with an 86-inch reach, got off to a strong start, landing right hands that sent Olguin reeling to the ropes. Scores: 79-73 3x. Featherweight: Brooklyn-born phenom Bruce Carrington (8-0, 5 KOs) defeated Luis Porozo (16-7, 9 KOs) via eighth-round TKO. Carrington fought at a close distance, mixing in jabs with power shots around Porozo's guard. Time of stoppage: 2:17.   Junior Lightweight: In a battle of southpaws, Puerto Rican standout Henry Lebron (18-0, 10 KOs) scored a 10-round unanimous decision win over Spanish veteran Carlos Ramos (17-3, 10 KOs). After a few feel-out rounds, Lebron's talent began to overcome Ramos, as he dropped him in the eighth and tenth with right hooks. Scores: 97-91 and 98-90 2x.

It was honestly so distressing read back over TWoP, no one should be subjected to threats of harm and violence and it permeated every single thread. And that's exactly what was going through my head too - that Josh held these people to high esteem; there's no way it didn't impact his behaviour towards her on set. These people were deranged and I really hope they feel shame (probably not) for wishing harm on anyone, let alone a teenager. Sick people. And shame on JS forever too.

Honestly, it makes me sick. MB was a teenager for fucks sake! And to think that JS was a man my current age (27) working as writer/showrunner/producer regularly reading that filth, I am disgusted. He k*lled Coop to satisfy their whims. The man sunk his own ship because he thought a dozen or so internet trolls represented the majority of OC fans. Ridiculous.

[bisluthq]

In the thought experiment, Josh and Karlie would be in the basement playing a video game with headphones on and the rest of the group thought they went off for sexy time, so when S&J and T&J went to their separate rooms to ‘clean up before dinner’ T&J would be the horny couple going ‘oh come on, you know the others are all doing it *bedroom eyes*’ then jump on each other and get killed. Meanwhile Jack is pressing his shirt and asks Saorsie if she heard something and they both listen out to it and she says ‘it’s probably just T&J going at it again 🙄’ and gets back to unpacking her things. Then they hear another noise and Saorsie says she’ll check it out but Jack insists he’ll do it and she’s like half mockingly ‘oooh, my hero! My big strong man making sure it was just a raccoon! 😍😜🙄’ he smiles and blows a kiss as he leaves their room. Saorsie goes to see if taylor has a hairdryer, but finds her and joe dead and starts screaming and looks for a weapon as she calls out for Jack. Josh asks Karlie if she heard a scream and Karlie says ‘the other girls are so dramatic, you know how they are, im not like other girls, you know that baby 😍’ and they go back to their online dungeons and dragons or whatever. Saorsie goes full ninja bad ass Uma Thurman in Kill Bill as she looks for Jack and follows a trail of blood drops. Karlie and Josh are walking outside and Jack runs up to them, clearly injured , asking for help and telling them to run cause there’s a killer on the loose. Josh and Karlie start up their car and call out to the other 3 inside to come on and get out. Jack goes inside to get the other 3 but sees 2 bodies and can’t find Saorsie (cause she’s being a bad ass) and tells josh and Karlie to wait until he finds her. As he tells them this, the deranged killer appears behind him and J&K tell jack to hurry to the car. Jack has a hand on the trunk when the killer gains on him and Josh floors it out of there. Karlie is sad at leaving her friends behind but they rationalise their actions by going to the sherif for help (even though they drive the speed limit and get a coffee on the way). It’s unknown what has happened to Jack but we see Saorsie setting traps and injuring the killer, she jumps from exposed beams on the ceiling and uses a mounted stag head to eventually impale the killer. For some reason the house goes up in flames as she slowly walks out of it with torn flannel shirt tied around her waist. It’s now sunrise, Josh and Karlie never made it back because they got caught up in conversation with someone at the coffee shop and were too polite to end it and leave, despite the mortal danger their friends were in. It was an important business contact/ friend of Johnny K’s that they were forced to stay and talk to. So the sherif never came to the cabin. As the cabin slowly burns, Saorsie hears a noise and walks over to find Jack clutching at his ribs and leaning against a pile of firewood. He sees her and whimpers out ‘I knew you’d come for me’. She carries him in her arms away from the Cabin as fireworks shoot out of T&Js window cause those dumbasses bought actual illegal fireworks with them and since the house is on fire, the fireworks have been lit. Jack looks back at the fireworks and thinks of his friends, with a single tear rolling down his face and making a streak in his dirt covered cheek, he whispers “goodbye” and then looks at Saorsie and says he’s sorry. She puts him in their truck and buckles him in, kisses him and says “I’m taking you to the hospital.... then I’m getting revenge” as she tightens her pony tail. We zoom in to see her mind flash back to josh and Karlie rolling their eyes at the other 4 as they headed to the basement and then another flashback of a building with the kushner name on it. Another flashback shows a family photo on Joshs desk which zooms in on lady Macbeth wearing the same dress the killer wore tonight. A sequel has been set up. The credits roll.

This was a fucking ride.

[twinvictim]

your opinions on each of the post team silent games and a rating out of 10. hand 'em over

YEAHHHHHH FINALLY CATERING TO ME!!!

Uh really long post oops. for reference, my rating for the first 4 sh's are as follows

Sh1: 9/10 Sh2: 7/10 Sh3: 9/10 Sh4: 9.5/10

Silent Hill 0/Origins

overall score: 7/10

Alot of the games issues can of course be attributed to it being a psp game, and while i won't excuse everything bc of that, j have to be honest and say I think it had so much potential as a (very) late ps2 game. Not to mention, the game ON THE PSP functions as it should. (The ps2 port does fucking not tho..oops) ans you'll see that this is...a rarity post team silent.

The story has alot of potential, Travis as a character is interesting and sympathetic and j think his dynamic with alessa js super fascinating to dig into, both of them being abused children and there was alot of intrigue regarding his powers, the game feels like a smaller more watered down she, and for that I can't fault it too much. The weapons system isn't my favorite but the combat itself is reminiscent of 1 and 2 and I really like a good chunk of the monster design, there was clearly thought and care put into it, nurses and strughtjackets/lying figures be dammed. The unlockables are pretty cool though and alot of the environments look pretty cool for a psp game, hell i LOVE the theater level its super unique, I would love to see it in (actually functional) better graphics. I also think the puzzles are pretty solid, not hair pulling like sh1 even if they're not quite as clever as say sh3.

My biggest criticisms come from the reuse of sh1 characters (just alessa and Travis would've been fine, maybe dahlia and some more org characters would've been better) the bad ending being straight up bad writing. Not to mention they did the sh3 thing of "kill too many monsters and get the bad ending" which is...stupid. The foreshadowing of the butcher being? He's just kinda there, I like the lead up but it would be more interesting if the butcher represented something from those years between Travis' father dying and him being an adult. And while there's more replayability imo than sh2, it doesn't have difficulty sliders and that makes it kinda hard to come back to quite as often. Not to mention unlike sh1, 3or sh4 there's not as much horror focus and random events.

Overall, solid game its fun to play, very silent Hill and if you're willing to look past a few continuity errors and accept its a little different and slightly derrivitive at the same time, I like to say I had alot of fun with it and still do. (Maybe I just like Travis alot...idk)

Silent Hill: Homecoming

Overall score: 6/10

Once again most of the issues here are gonna be corporate fuck ups, but I'm also not gonna beat around the bush, this game isn't like...good. its bad actually. "But you gave it a 6/10?" Yeah bc its not NEARLY as bad as some other games I've.. experienced.

The negatives here are, many and vast, so let's run them down. Firstly the games performance is janky on console (ps3 at least) and abysmal/unplayable on PC, what with framerate issues that are detrimental to game play on pc and make the third boss impossible. That said on console it is completable and not even too terrible...usually. Scarletts boss fight however is terribly unbalanced and broken on all skews so :/. The combat is...functional but not anyone's favorite, it's difficult to use any actually strong weapon and you can pretty much strong arm ur ways through shit with just the knife (except scarletts first form..don't try it, it won't work) for some people this will be borening (not my opinion but w/e). Most of The puzzles...leave alot to be desired. I hate sliding block puzzles. Also no run button? At all?? No easy mode? Ok... also what is this.. wheel design for the inventory...im accidentally using my serum..what is serum also? And why is the item pickup noise like...bass boosted.

The character models look awful most of the time, and comically unfinished other times, some human models are just grotesque, (judge halloway, Adam shepherd, mayor Bartlett. .you get it) and yes...there are sexy nurses. Bc of course there are. (Whole ass out???) They did straight up have some terrible endings for this game (ph ending for one, the way you get the ufo? Hell the ufo ending is kinda boring. I like the in water ending here too but. Yeah.) the story has some, problems. To say the least.

However, while the performance is bad its not the worst I've played (on the ps3 once again..unplayable on pc) and I hardly noticed the framerate when I was just running around, I personally found the combat kinda fun, between trying to dodge accurately and still attack and not use all my health items (bc those and ammo are actually rare! Unlike some games...) it is kind of a challenge and reminds me of a much worse sh4. And hey, the health items both heal an understandable amount of health that i can easily read with a bar (unlike 1-3) and they're not a complete joke (unlike sh4...) i find the exploration really fun and sure the characters look shit but the environments are Fucking great. The church is one of my fav sections, short as jt might be and yes it stole the confessional scene but its pretty well written and acted I think. The monster design is pretty fucking rad too honestly, I like the schism, siam, I like the DESIGN of the needlers even if they make me so mad to fight, and hey the nurses and ph don't show up that much to be too aggregious. The boss monsters are also fantastic design wise, very unsettling and the boss rooms are interesting as well.

The story has problems but it also has alot of potential, the concept of people sacrificing ther children for silent Hill and being overcome by their own pain and guilt is pretty fucking cool, and alex is a good character they did a good job of giving him personality, ppl bitch about him being a soldier but a) he's not and b) soldiers are people too, and a sh game that could tackle toxic masculinity, be critical of the military, and also tackle abusive religeious parents is pretty intriguing, not to mentions themes of brotherly love that's complicated bc of how they clearly favored Josh . Sure, it misses the mark, but I like taking the potential and thinking about it bc its compelling to me. And like I said, i like alex alot.

Overall, bad game yes, but not the worst as it has enough good for me to honestly really enjoy it, besides it is pretty funny when it is bad. Don't play the pc port tho

Silent Hill Shattered Memories

Overall Score: 8/10

Unpopular opinion im sure but honestly? I find this game ALMOST on par with the team silent games. Its really that good, yes its a wii game, so this is my score taking into account the motion controls BTW.

For the good, man where do i start. Its BEAUTIFUL for a wii game and esp for a post team silent game, the graphics are nice and Constsitent, the environments are pretty and it has a pretty nice cold color pallet to contrast the warmer tones the series tends to skew towards. The acting and intrgrige are all on point and the WRITING is fantastic, its one of those games you play the first time not knowing the twist and play the second time picking up more and more clues and things that strengthen that twist so much more. Like sh2 its a simple story told in such a clever and interesting way that you'll probably be too invested to put it down, I beat it in one sitting in 6 hours bc i was so engrossed in the narrative. And the Puzzles man! The puzzles are phenomenal and fun to accomplish and there's even a little bit of variety in a few places on repeat playthroughs. The level of detail in this game is insane really, the things that change with the different psychology answers are pretty cool too and tho it all plays out relatively the same its still fun to see the different things you can get to happen. The gimmicks like the phone as an object, taking pictures, sneaking and zooming in, they're not too intrusive as to take away from the exploration or other game play but not completely useless and have some pretty fun Easter eggs too. The game plays sort of like a worse outlast with good puzzles and for that I do have to commend it. Oh and the fucking MUSIC is INCREDIBLE idk something ab this soundtrack has alot of heart put into it clearly.

Now, it's not perfect. The thing is, it is a WORSE outlast type game, in the running and hiding sense but well, the hiding is completely useless, its a run away game, which is ok, but I understand that people aren't gonna be a big fan of that when silent Hill has always balanced combat ad puzzles and exploration. The running segments are..aggravating, mostly bc its hard to figure out where to go, not to mention using motion controls that don't like to work half the time to fight the monsters off of you. Also, the monsters are not scarey in the slightest and the raw shock scream is actually enragaging if you've died one to many times, there's also...not really any penalty for dying. And once you're out for these running segments,there's no danger, no monsters, nothing to hide from despite having a hiding mechanic. Its not really a horror game more of a psycological thriller and I understand that the fact that its not horror can be disappointing. The psychology things might be a bit overhyped And yeah fine, the wii foreplay scene...well yeah its weird but it IS also funny as fuck.

That said, there's still alot thats good and alot thas unfair criticism lobbed at this game. Harry didn't have much of a personality in sh1 bc he's a ps1 character and sm really fleshed him out well, not to mention giving cybil some nice characterization, and they did some interesting things with dahlia and kaufmann. And Lisa.. well I'm gonna be honest I never found Lisa all that interesting in sh1..so it doesn't bother me that she's the way she is in this game. I know people hate the "horny" aspect of it but to be completely fair, YOU choose to make the game that way, don't answer in a sexual manner or look at boobs or anything else and you won't have an overly sexual game, its...literally that easy. Its given as an option for the play id they want to go for what is arguably another joke ending. (You cannot tell me sleeze and sirens is meant to be a real serious ending to the game. Cmon) and you can complain about the innacuuracies if you want but its a spin off, a retelling of the original game. Its not canon, and it didn't change the original game. It just took the ideas presented there and made them more human and lest fantastical, there's some supernatural elements but it takes a backseat to the human moments. And its honestly really cool.

Overall, great game, i reccomend it if you don't mind some slight jank with the motion controls and honestly? Look up directions on where to go for the running segments and you'll have a pretty good time overall.

Silent Hill Downpour

Overall score (so far): 7.5/10 *to be noted i haven't finished actually playing it yet but I know the basic plot and some of the details so I doubt it'll change

And so for the final silent Hill Game, I have to say, i don't think it deserves NEARLY the hatred it gets, there's alot about it that i find really cool and even fun and I think its a solid entry, a little better than origins in some parts and its downsides are both unfortunate and once again, mostly Konami's fault . That said, I'm also not gonna kid and say its a good game, just that I like it alot and we should be nicer to the last silent Hill game were probably ever gonna get.

Downpour has a pretty good, original story overall, there's alot to it, alot of intricacies and intrigue to it that honestly make it a pretty sold silent Hill game. Its different enough from the others to stand out but not super far removed from its themes and messages. I like that it doesn't try and lean into the cult aspect and tries to do something else with it, it doesn't try to explain silent Hill, but just use it to torment the characters, as it should be. There's tragedy ad human feelings here and some of them aren't the most...sensitive but they are pretty reasonable reactions id say. Playing as someone who's odds are stacked against him from the beginning as he's a prisoner is a cool way to open the game, someone convicted and you must discover if he is a good person or not. Themes of revenge explored more than in sh3 which is pretty cool. The environments look pretty nice, and i like the look of the otherworld, once again being unique with its cooler color pallet, but without the ice so it really feels like its own thing. The EXPLORATION is awesome with an actual open world which I think works well, there's alot to do in town (unlike sh1 and 0 on limiting hardware and 2 which just pretends you can explore to town but you cant) there's alot for cool little stories and sidequests to do, my favorite so far being the cinema (which has a section of ACTUAL fixed cameras like old Resident evils which is smth SH has never done and its super fucking cool!) And all the sidequess help strengthen murphy as a cheacter and argue for his innocence or complexites. The weapons system is pretty cool, picking up items and attacking with whatever you might find, finding cool Easter eggs with exploration and having fun noticing things. And it does honestly have the strongest side characters outside of SM. The puzzles are pretty solid and fun to figure out with some cool mechanics and the seperate difficulties is a great thing to bring back (actually done well like sh3) I also kind of like the method of triggering the night world/rain/monsters, and silent Hill really feels likes its constantly punishing Murphy, as it should. The music might not be Akira but its still pretty damn good, and fuck yall I like the Korn song, and you CAN press start and skip it yknow. (Thx tomm hewlit)

The negtitives tho, well they are there. For one it has the worst performance of any sh game outside of pc homecoming and like...the hd collection, the framerate like to shit itself alot lmao, its not usually detrimental bc I've played re2r with similar framerates but, yeah its not great. Not to mention while the models look better than hc they don't animate well or often at all, and the game has trouble loading in the models as fast as they should. The sound mixing could use...some work too, poor murph sounds like he's eating the mic. While I find the games exploration really fun, murphy also has the issue of not running very fast so it can be a little annoying to get back to a place you want to be when you can't run that fast, not to mention the loading times. The monster design is def the worst in the series, maybe on par w SM. Which is disappointing bc there's some pretty good moments here and there, but not nearly enough to make it scary and there's so much you can do with monsters with this premise. Also, the running sections in the otherworld are better than SM ad even more engaging than the brief ones in 2 and 3, but still, I'd prefer to do puzzles or fight a boss or smth. I will also say, the endings are, iffy while the main 2 endings are really good and Anne's bad ending as well as the joke ending are great, murphys bad endings are weird and ooc for the muphy you come to know in the game (even more so than Origins) plus, idk that the writers knew all that much about prison andbprison culture, nobody in a real prison would be mad ab Murphy killing a pedo (there's some racist implications here and there too which is. Unfortunate and disappointing. I like Howard and Robbie but they are a bit tropey, esp Howard) that said Anne is a compelling albeit unlikable character and thas pretty cool to see pulled off.

Overall, while it has downsides, I don't think Downpour is worthy of all the scorn it gets, this can have problems and you can point them out without disregarding the good parts and while it is unfortunate it doesn't run better and have some extras and didn't handle some things great, I still think its worth a playthrough, esp if you go out of your way to do the sidequests.

Bonus round

Book of memories is not a game I intend to play bc I don't wanna get a vita and can't imagine I'm missing much. It doesn't look bad pwr say but I'm not interested tbh

Fuck PT. :)

The Biggest Clikkie

Pairing: Josh x reader

Word count: 1467

Warnings: None! (I think)

Authors Note: I wrote this yesterday and I really wanted to do a “surprise post” (as according to @blurry-fics ) and post it! I will be posting a Josh x reader request tomorrow as well! This takes place in the summer of 2018 after natn and js came out, but before the bandito tour started btw!

“So when do I get to meet her?” Tyler asked Josh over speakerphone. You looked over at Josh who was driving, and he also shared a look with you.

“Soon Ty! I think we are going to head to Ohio in like a week!”

“Sounds awesome, can’t wait to meet her! Hey, I got to go I’ll talk to you later!”

“Okay bye, Ty!” Josh hung up the phone and then grabbed your hand.

“I can’t believe I get to meet the Tyler Joseph” you whispered.

“I can’t believe I’m dating a clikkie,” Josh gave your hand a little squeeze making you smile with glee. You had met Josh two months ago when he was just moving to LA, and he was a regular at the Italian restaurant you managed.

You had been a huge fan of the band ever since they first started touring during the regional at best era, but this was also when you were younger. You had posters of Tyler up in your room when you were in high school, and you never guessed that the drummer of your favorite band would have fallen in love with you. It was a funny story, how you two actually ended up dating, but that’s a story for another time.

“To be fair Josh, the term clikkie didn’t come up until like a year ago, so technically I’m not one!” you tried to explain but Josh’s laugh made you unable to persuade him.

“Just don’t be too much of a fangirl when you meet him, okay?”

“No promises. I don’t think you understand!”

“You’re not going to fall in love with him, right?” Josh raised his eyebrow at you and you squint your eyes.

“You know that you are the only person I could ever love,” you leaned over and placed a kiss on his cheek.

“Good, because you’re the only person I could ever love too.”

A week had passed, and it was finally the day you and Josh were headed to Ohio. You weren’t sure what you were more nervous for, meeting his family or meeting Tyler and Jenna. It was March, so you brought lots of coats and jeans, and your suitcase weighed probably twice your own weight.

“I hate airplanes,” you mumbled as you and Josh were standing in line waiting to board. Josh had his Bluetooth headphones in, bobbing his head slowly to whatever he was listening to. In one hand was a duffle bag, the other hand was an iced coffee and his boarding pass.

“You’ll be okay sweetheart,” Josh rubbed your arm with his elbow since his hands weren’t free. You shrugged, still very nervous for the flight.

Boarding eventually started and you followed Josh down the hallway into the plane. You both found a row with two seats, and Josh let you take the seat next to the window. You shoved your backpack underneath the seat in front of you, and you got buckled in.

“You doing okay?” Josh wrapped his arm around you and pulled you close so that your head was now resting on his shoulder.

“Yeah, I’m just going to try to sleep the entire way there,” you mumbled as you shut your eyes to try to sleep. The flight passed and you were woken up by Josh moving and your head falling.

“Oh my neck,” you tried to stretch out the pain your neck was in from laying in a weird position the entire flight.

“I can’t believe you slept that entire time, and you kept on snoring,” Josh teased. You stuck your tongue out at him and he pretended to try to grab it.

“Just be glad I don’t drool,” you giggled.

“Tyler should be here to pick us up! We’re going to get breakfast with him!”

“What time is it?” you asked and Josh looked at his apple watch.

“9:37 in the morning!”

You groaned, “I hate early flights.”

“But now you have all day!”

“True!”

You followed Josh off of the plane and down to baggage claim to pick up your guys suitcase. You were amazed at the artwork at the airport. You have never been to Columbus Ohio before, even though you always wanted to when you were little to see a hometown show.

“I think I see Ty!” Josh squinted. You tried to look where he was looking but you didn’t see anyone. Eventually, you see Tyler walking over wearing a Nintendo sweatshirt and black jeans, and Jenna was following right behind them wearing a red puffy jacket and jeans as well.

“Josh!” Jenna gave him a huge hug and Tyler followed behind her. You stood there nervously. Josh walked over to you and wrapped his arm around your waist.

“And this is Y/N! Also known as Tyler’s biggest fan,” Josh laughed.

“Joshua Dun!” you glared up at him. “It’s so nice to finally meet you guys!” you held out your hand but Tyler pulled you into a hug.

“Holy shit,” you accidentally let slip out and you slapped your hand over your mouth.

“See? She’s one of those fangirls,” Josh teased again, making you slap him.

“It’s just insane because when I was 17, I never thought I would ever actually meet you!” you tried to explain. Tyler laughed.

“It’s so nice to finally meet you Y/N! Josh talks about you all the time, and it’s good to know he isn’t lonely all the way in LA,” Jenna explained. You smiled at the thought that Josh talked to them about you.

“It’s so nice to meet you all too!”

“You ready to head out and get some breakfast?” Josh threw his bag over his shoulder and grabbed your suitcase that he took off of the belt.

“Hell yeah, I’m starving!” you announced making everyone laugh. You followed them all outside and to Tyler’s car. Jenna kept on asking you questions about your job, and how you met which was nice to know she was putting the effort in to get to know you.

“Who wants the aux?” Tyler asked as he handed the cord back. Josh looked at you and you reluctantly took it.

“Fine. I’ll just shuffle my music,” you plugged your music in and Forest from Regional At Best started to play.

“Did you really download that album?” Tyler asked laughing a little.

“I downloaded that and No Phun Intended like five years ago,” you changed the song and then Stressed Out started to play. You apologized and changed the song again. This time Holding On To You started to play.

“Is all your music my music?” Tyler laughed looking at you through the rear view mirror. You could feel your cheeks go red.

“Maybe Josh should aux,” Jenna mentioned and you unplugged your phone and handed him the cord. He started to play Tame Impala.

You arrived at an IHOP and all got out of the car. Josh held your hand tight and he started to notice how quiet you were.

“You doing okay?” he asked as he pulled you aside.

You shrugged, “I completely embarrassed myself!”

“No sweetheart, it’s okay! Tyler has been waiting to meet you just as much as you been waiting to meet him! Just be yourself!”

“Okay, thank you, Josh, I love you,” you kissed him before finding Tyler and Jenna already at a table.

“God my head hurts,” Tyler mentioned, grabbing his head.

“Is it...a migraine?” you asked, making everyone laugh at the table.

“Josh you really are dating a clikkie, aren’t you,” Tyler chuckled as he took some Advil.

“You set yourself up for that one man,” Josh teased.

You ordered chocolate chip pancakes, Josh ordered blueberry pancakes, and Tyler and Jenna were sharing two eggs and strawberry pancakes. You all talked about what it was like living in Ohio, and how different it was compared to LA.

“So how many shows have you been to?” Tyler asked you.

“I think four? I saw you twice during the Vessel era, once during the blurry face tour, and then the last time was during the emotional roadshow!”

“Now you get to come along with us during the Bandito tour!” Josh announced making you look at him with shock.

“Wait seriously?” you asked him, and he nodded. You looked over at Tyler to see what he thought, and he was just smiling at you.

“I’ll be there too so we can have some girl time too! I've been needing a girlfriend on tour, to be honest,” Jenna smiled at you.

“That sounds amazing, I can’t wait!” you gave Josh another kiss on the cheek. You couldn’t believe that you not only were dating the drummer of your favorite band but that he loved you and now you get to tour with your favorite band as well.

i know this is going to be a Controversial Opinion but are you ready for my hot takes guys? 

eliot cannot cook. i know we all want to live in the happy fix-it domestic aus of our dreams. i recognize that he, particularly in season one, looks like someone that has spent an entire weekend making picture-perfect macarons. and i understand that we all want to imagine him like, filleting a fish or whatever but guys. guys. here’s the thing. eliot can light things on fire. and he can mix several liquids together, and garnish them artfully. but the man cannot cook. 

not only! can he not cook! he has zero desire in learning how! because he has the palette of a particularly unrefined seven year old! he is a garbage man who fills his body with garbage! eliot eats cup o noodles. and ramen. and kraft mac and cheese. and other life-hack things you can cook in a coffee maker or microwave in 90 seconds.

the monster is gone and there’s a moment of down time and julia apologizes for letting it eat cheese balls and churros and whatever other garbage it found. and eliot has to think for a second about why that would be such a problem. 

there were days where the bulk of his calories came from alcohol and the gummy nail-and-hair vitamins margo leaves in the bathroom. 

eliot likes his toast black and his steaks well done. josh’s acid-laced carrot was the first piece of produce he’d eaten in years. eliot has taken someone on a romantic picnic and brought pb&js. eliot picks raisins out of desserts. eliot’s favorite vegetable is ketchup. and eliot. cannot. cook. 

[this-aint-massachusetts]

My future man au is finally done!!! After 1000 million years, so now ima yap about it. Warning for a long ass post.

First imma say all the characters that will be in the series:

Josh Futturman

Gabe Futturman

Diane Futturman

Ty-Anne ‘Tiger’ (her real name is Ty-Anne but goes by Tiger because I felt that made sense and would be less confusing for another character)

Cory ‘Wolf’ Wolfhart

Stu Camilo

Ty-Anne (I’ll explain this later)

Elias Kronish

Lucy ‘Lugnut’ Wolfhart (yeah she doesn’t canonically have a ‘real’ name but I gave her one cuz I can)

Jeri Lang (yay she’s not a bloody pulp!!)

Joosh Futturman (once again I’ll explain later)

J26 (will once again be explained later)

The Cluster (they might be taken out later though because I’m not quite sure how they’d fit into this au)

Marigold Kronish

[more might be added or removed later]

Here Biotics do still exist but they’re more calmer and less murdery so humans and Biotics now just coexist without wanting to kill and so there’s also no resistance. As well as Tiger still has part biotic in her.

So to explain a few character ‘duplicates’; Joosh, Josh, and J26 here all are separate people despite looking similar. Joosh is a far off cousin to the Futturmans who is still famous off his video games and energy drinks (and is still an asshole), J26 was another kid in the foster system like Josh he just got adopted way before him. As for Tiger and Ty-Anne, they’re both cousins, Ty-Anne being Stu’s daughter still and Tiger only living with the two because her mother is currently missing and/or just dead.

Following up with the foster system, this au is inspired by @dottsdraws foster au so J26 and Josh were both adopted yet J26 was adopted way before Josh was so he’s around 17 while Josh is 14.

Speaking of ages, this is kinda like a high school au so I think I should get into that a bit.

The school is a k-12

(The only ages that follow canon is Kronish, Marigold, Diane, Gabe and Stu so I won’t be putting those down) The ages in this is:

Josh - 15

Tiger - 15

Wolf - 15

Joosh - 23

Ty-Anne - 17

Jeri - 16

Lugnut - 13

J26 - 17

So Jeri is still a biotic yet since biotics are more peaceful here they don’t have the bombs in their necks anymore yet I still wanted to involve some kinda explosion thing for her so I made it that she has an interest in explosives because I’m silly like that.

Josh here also still has a crush on Jeri, she doesn’t like him like he likes her but like in canon she’s still a bit manipulative so she kinda screws around with him but doesn’t like him at all.

Now here is where I get into some headcanons for this so if you don’t like that you can skip this part or don’t yet please don’t be an ass about my headcanons.

So it’s implied in this au that Tiger is sapphic, it’s not really said directly and she doesn’t have a love interest but she is sapphic. As well as she’s nonbinary yet still uses fem pronouns (remember! Pronouns ≠ gender!). Josh is trans FtM that’s a main plot point of his character arc so it’s more main, as well as he’s bisexual. Like Tiger it isn’t directly said but Wolf is bisexual as well and his also FtM trans yet that also isn’t very much of a main plot point. For Jeri I wouldn’t consider her aroace but she doesn’t have interest with getting with anyone but still flirts with basically everyone no matter gender so I guess maybe she’d be demisexual and aromantic? And she’s transfem because I’m js silly like that.

K now that I’m done with that ima move onto some family relationships.

As said earlier, Tigers mother and father are either dead or missing so she lives with her uncle Stu and her cousin Ty-Anne. Lugnut and Wolf are siblings but Wolf is technically her legal caretaker because like Tigers parents they’re either dead or missing. Josh and J26 are both adopted siblings by Gabe and Diane as well as Joosh being a far off cousin.

Now ima get back to the school au thing for a second.

So since it is a school instead of Kronish and Stu being scientists, Kronish is the principal and Stu is the vice principal. Jeri is the class president yet Ty-Anne keeps trying to take that role over. J26 is there yet everyone in the school thinks he’s dead because he just hides in a classroom all day.

Not related to much but Josh has a pet chinchilla named Chimmy :3

Everyone except for Josh has a sorta love-hate relationship with Jeri. As well as in the story it won’t be brought up much but it’s implied that Jeri and Tiger dated briefly but it ended up in a messy break up which is why Tiger doesn’t like her all to much. (Oh and the explosives too, she doesn’t like her explosives)

Okay that was… a lot…. But that’s it for now. Like I said more will be added/removed if I decide to but that’s all I got for now. I’m tired see y’all sometime

The Odds (JS)

Request: so you know how joe is the prankster, what if y/n was pulling a prank on him like a fake pregnancy and she actually takes the test to colour in the lines an it turns out she’s actually pregnant ??

•••

How would he believe it more?

I bite my lip as I stand under the fluorescent lighting of the pharmacy. I go over the steps in my head-I couldn't give anything away to Joe that this was a prank. He sniffed out a prank like a dog sniffing out fear.

The boys had approached me with a plan-it was time I got Joe back for the prank he pulled on me earlier this year and they were lending me their help. They insisted a pregnancy prank and I was outweighed so I had agreed.

Caspar and Josh helped me with the cameras, Jack watched my facial expressions and gave me pointers, and Byron was going to update me when he got home. But now, for choosing the actual pregnancy test.

I shouldn't be this scared to buy a pregnancy test, I scold myself. But what if the cashier at the counter thinks it's real.

But so what if it's real!?

I blow out the air from my cheeks and shake my head. It's not like I was pregnant. This was just for a prank.

But-I should try to make it as realistic as possible. That meant buying multiple packs. Alright.

I swipe as many tests as my hands can grab and bring them to the counter.

"All of these?" The man asks.

"Yup! I'll pay with cash please." I respond as if my credit company would flag the purchase-I roll my eyes. I was a 27 year old woman who'd been with her boyfriend for four and a half years. It wouldn't be the end of the world to be pregnant-last week I overheard a 20 year old talking about her daughter! This isn't weird!

Yet I still stuff them into my purse before making my way out. I had two hours until Joe showed up-I should hurry.

At home, I double check that the cameras are hidden and then open all the boxes and throw them into the trash, covering it with tissues. The plan was to leave one on top for Joe to notice first. Which one should I put? Well, which one should I colour in.

And then it comes to me-maybe I should just take one. For fun. There was no harm-it would make the prank funnier and more convincing if I peed on the stick.

I move to the kitchen and knock back glass after glass of water until my bladder feels like it would explode. I rush back to the bathroom and dig out a package as I sit on the toilet. This one says ten minutes. Alright.

I suddenly start to feel nervous.

"It's a bloody prank," I mumble. "Get a grip. Just ten minutes."

I should check the cameras again as I wait. And grab a pen-I'll colour in the lines once my test shows up negative. I'll have to do that for all of them anyway.

Except.

When I check the test, it's not what I'm expecting.

"No," I whisper to myself, squinting at the faint second line. "No fucking way. What are the odds!"

So I take another one.

Ten minutes later, it's the same thing.

"Maybe I'll choose a different kind."

Ten minutes.

A positive sign.

"Shit!" My emotions feel like someone's put them in a shaker and is demonstrating how to make a martini. Shock, nerves, joy-overwhelming joy, crash into me like waves and I clutch the sink not to tumble down. "Fuck!"

What do I do? What do I do! I was pregnant! I was bloody pregnant with Joe's baby and we hadn't even planned this! We were safe. Usually. We'd talked about having kids. Eventually. But now?

My phone vibrates on the sink. Byron texts me to let me know they were on their way home. Twenty or so minutes, he specifies. I pick it up and open Google. Maybe I had cancer-isn't that why men take the tests? Or it was a mistake...maybe I should take another. Just to be safe.

But I waste another ten minutes and it's the same. I pull up my app and count the days since my period. I was meant to get it last week but that's normal. I think...

I really was pregnant.

You ready? Byron texts again after my no reply.

No! I don't know what to do! How do I plan for this? Byron! Stall him!

I take my panic out in text form. Byron texts back something reassuring-as if I was simply panicking over a prank, and I have to sit. The room was suddenly spinning.

"In, out." I put my head on my knees and take a deep breath just like my therapist suggested. Okay Y/N, evaluate the situation: you're pregnant.

That's it. That's the situation.

I look up and catch my eye in the mirror. And my head suddenly stops whizzing about; I was pregnant. With a baby.

My hands go to my stomach and for the first time I realise what that meant. There was a human life growing inside me. That was the product of love, a lot of love. I was having a baby, a kid with the man who made my heart ache with the love I had for him. This kid would be so so so loved.

Suddenly, I have an idea.

Dropped him to the door-see you on the other side, Byron texts. He had an excuse about going to Caspar's. I send back a smiley and turn on the cameras. Joe would appreciate having the footage of finding out. Unless he didn't want the baby...shit, what if he hates the news-

"Hello?" Joe calls into the flat. "Y/N?"

"Hi!" I can hear the fluttery pitch of my voice. Luckily, the sound of Joe clinking his keys on the table hide it. "Had a nice time out?"

"Yeah. What you been up to?" Joe sheds his jacket and kisses my cheek. I'm bursting with raw nerves and I can't hold it in.

"I have news-I have-I need to talk to you. To tell you about something. Can we talk?"

Joe chuckles as I rephrase the question a thousand times. "What about?"

"Um, wait here. Sit here. I'll be back."

Joe suddenly looks suspicious as I push him into a chair and rush to the bathroom. I scoop the five positive tests and the two empty ones, stuffing them into the pocket of my hoodie. There was no going back.

"What's this about?" Joe asks with his brows pulled together. His look is intimidating, like he thinks he knows he's being set up. His intense expression plucks at my nerves like violin strings so I do what I do best and begin to blabber.

"Okay. So I don't know exactly how to put this babe. It's big-huge news. And I hope you're excited, if you're not then I...well I don't really know-I'm so nervous! My palms are sweating! My palms never sweat unless that's-it's a symptom? I should look that up but-"

"Y/N," Joe puts his hands on my shoulder and chuckles. "How many coffees did you have?"

"Ohh coffee," I groan. "I would have savoured this morning's cup better if I knew..."

Joe raises an eyebrow and I can tell realisation is dawning on him. Oh no. I better say it quick.

"I'm pregnant," I say at the same time Joe asks, "Are you...?"

"You're joking," Joe says immediately. He looks my face over but he can't read it the way he wants so he glances down at my belly where I realise I had proof.

"No! No I have-"

Joe's already gotten up and walking straight to one of the cameras.

"Y/N this isn't a funny prank!" Joe whips out the camera to check it was recording. His cheeks turn pink. "That's not funny."

"I'm not being funny!" I rush to the camera and set it back on the shelf. "I want to record your honest reaction! I-I swear I'm not pranking you!"

"How did you find out?" Joe demands.

I pull out the handful of tests and watch Joe reach out and pick one up.

"No-not that one. That's unused." I pick it out of his hand and exchange it for the rest. "I did it a hundred times-I'll admit it was supposed to be a prank. The boys were in on it and everything but I took the test for fun-just to see and I realised it had the two lines-see over there. So I panicked and took another but I still didn't believe it so there's one with-"

Joe stops me when he grabs my face in his hands, "We're pregnant?"

For the first time my eyes well up with tears. "We're gonna have a baby."

"Oh my god," Joe hiccups as he crushes me to him. He keeps saying the same three words into my skin and I wrap my arms around him too. He smells like someone who just came from a pub, but underneath it's Joe. I suddenly wonder if babies could distinguish smells. I swear I'd read something like that-

"I-My mum will be eccstatic! Your mum's been waiting for this since we got together!" Joe shouts.

"We've got to think of good ways to tell them all!" I shake out of my thoughts.

"We're having a baby!" Joe says like saying it was making it more real. "A baby. And they're gonna grow up and I'm gonna be a dad! Love, we'll be parents!"

"I know," I laugh and it clears the nerves from my body. Relief settles in its place, especially seeing Joe so willingly accept our unborn baby. He wanted it too.

Joe cups my face and kisses me hard. "Baby," he says against my lips.

"Now I don't know if you're talking about me or this baby." I reach down to my stomach and that jolts Joe into remembering that's where the baby was. He puts his hands over mine and looks back up at me, grinning.

"I can't wait to make the boys think this is a prank."

"I'm excited for their reactions. Oli won't be the youngest of the group any more."

"He'll get over it." Joe chuckles.

"Yeah," I get lost in Joe's wonder-filled eyes.

"I love you." His eyes shine euphoric, and I was sure it mirrored my own.

"I love you," I wrap my hands around his neck.

Joe slides his hands around my hips and squeezes me before letting go completely.

"I can still squeeze you right? It won't do anything to the baby?"

"Oh my god Joe you squeezed me!" I gasp.

"Oh no what did I do." Joe grabs me by the shoulders to steady me.

"Nothing," I say and I can't help but laugh at the sheer panic on his face.

"Bloody-" Joe takes in a breath. "You can't do that!"

"I promised a prank!" I motion to the cameras and Joe laughs with relief, both of us too giddy over the news to say anything more.

We were going to be a three-person family now, and the boys were definitely going to be pranked for this. Although, if I thought about it, they were the reason I found out.

Not that I was going to tell them that.

Scooter just picked up someone’s else’s trash. Dirty laundry about her and him has been on full display since he tried to be all cute with it at the SO. We also had JS apologists saying the doctor was gay to try and downplay the real deal. In my estimations from the T attacks and hidden agenda to hide the truth that J was still married reveal also came Dr. Josh is gay, which he clearly isn’t. He’s a real ladies man who happens to be happy as a pig in shit that S picked up his trash. She’s a 🐷

DR IS BI & VALID OKAY

smh @ this fandom resorting to bi erasure just to defend jackie
