"what are you guys laughing about?" one of the upperclassman asked as a small group of freshman walked into the locker room. they were all either chuckling or laughing, while gabe's face was beat red as he stared at the ground.

"nothin'." the boy in question answered quickly as he made his way over to his stall.

"gabo's fat crush on some girl he doesn't even know." ryan exclaimed, his laugh roaring through the room. gabe's small little crush had quickly spread around the locker room, thanks to ryan big mouth. he had now became a target of endless teasing and small remarks about a girl who didn't even know he existed.

"you're still on that, dude?" someone laughed, but gabe's eyes stayed glued to the ground, trying his best to ignore all the comments being made.

"we've got progess. her friends are all up in his comments." will said, making some of the guys look over the perreault boy. will was probably one of the only one who didn't tease him endlessly about it, mainly because he was with gabe when they watched that first game, and he too was quick curious about the girl.

"should we start planning the wedding?"

"i call being bear boy!"

"you guys are so dramatic. i just think she's cute, that's all." gabe was quick to interrupt his friends, making all of them look over at him and stop laughing.

"that's not what drunk gabe said last week."

"yeah? well he's an idiot, who's drunk, so forget it." gabe's words came out harsher than he had intended to, leaving the room quiet afterwards. some of the guys slowly started falling into small convos between themselves, none of them brining up the girl.

and she wasn't brought up until will and gabe made it to their dorm after practice, ryan and jacob following closely behind them.

"does it actually annoy you? the teasing?"

"no. but you guys are making it a bigger deal than it actually is." the boy shurgged as ryan and jacob waved them goodbye and continued to their dorm, the two boys now entering their room. "and it's annoying because you also think she's cute, but no one gives you shit about it!"

"yeah, because i didn't spend a whole rambling about her, gabe." the blond boy explained as he moved around their room, cleaning up the mess a bit.

"that was like forever ago."

"actually it's been three times now. literally the first party we went to, then again a week later, and last week, dude. and the only reason their acting this way is because you're not doing anything about it."

"yeah, 'cause i don't know the girl, will."

"then get to know her? look, clearly this isn't just some silly crush you have just because she's cute, gabo. plus, if her friends know who you are, she has to know too by now. and clearly she has to be somewhat interested because for some reason she hasn't blocked any of us. the door's open, you just have to go through it, dude." will said, stopping in his tracks and looking over the boy, who was now sitting on the edge of his bed.

"when'd you get to good at giving advice?"

"think it's the college affect. don't worry i'm sure it'll hit you at some point." the blond boy joked, making the two chuckle slightly.

for the rest of the evening, the two didn't talk about it, although will's words were on repeat in gabe's head. 'the door's open, you just have to go through it', if only it were that is for him to do.

ND fans: The NeW sHe-rA is much better! It’s progressive, unlike that sexist, cishet, white, trash fire 80s show!

Me, someone who’s watched the new one, some of the old one, and did a shit ton of research: The old one was made specifically for girls who liked He-Man. The show defied gender norms. It taught lessons at the end of episodes. Taught kindness and how to be a hero in your own way. Both it and MOTU had characters of color, and characters with prosthetics, and even had a few characters with different body types. They were rare, but they existed. Originally, at least 4 of the main characters on She-Ra were going to have prosthetic arms, 3 of them being heroes and only 1 being bad. Huntara was originally black and based on Grace Jones. Netossa wasn’t a stereotype, was very smart, resourceful, and kind. The characters were actually friends. There’s a lot of evidence that points to Spinnerella and Netossa being a couple even back then, they just had to be subtle. Also, the daughter of one of the founders of Filmation has said that the studio was one of the gayest places to work at, and she’s queer herself.

Thanks for the ask! Exactly, people just assume the old one is bad without actually watching it! People don't realize how great it was to have girl superheroes at the time. I honestly don't know why they expected the show to have openly queer characters. Do they understand how controversial that would be at the time? It was progessive for what it was, why don't people get that?

Mini Fanfic #1243: Triple N Progess Run (SSBU X Darkstalkers)

1:25 p.m. at La Shy Guy's Café's Outdoor Diner......

Escargoon: (Takes a Sip of his Latte he Ordered Along with Dedede with a Smile) I gotta say, De, I'm really impressed with your challenge run right now.

Dedede: (Smiles Brightly) I know, right? We're already halfway in the month and I didn't fold even once. I'm proud myself right now.

Escargoon: As you should, my friend- (Raises his Cup Up) cause I'm proud of you myself.

Dedede: (Let's Out a Hardy Laugh Before Raising his Cup Up as Well) Cheers to that!

The long time duo clink their drinks together before taking another sip and sitting their cups back down on the table.

Escargoon: I can't imagine it being easy for you this whole time. I mean, you're dating a succubus model for Pete's sake.

Dedede: ('Sighs Heavily') Hooo boy, you don't have the slightest idea right now.......I love that woman with every bit of fiber of my heart and soul, but God DAMN if she doesn't know how to put up a good fight! I can't even take a proper breather without worrying about what she's gonna do next.

Escargoon: It gotten that intense already, huh?

Dedede: Hell yeah. 'Member I told you the time she flashed me on the first morning of the month? Boy, I tell you that was mere child's play compared to all the other crazy shit she pulled this month. Like that one time I was at the mansion and-

Flashback to Smash Mansion's Living Room

Isabelle: (Smiles at Morrigan While Doing Yoga Along with Her on Their Respective Mats) Thanks again for joining me on my Yoga Session today, Morrigan. I've really been falling behind on them these days.....

Morrigan: (Smiles Back at Izzy) Think nothing of the sort, my dear!~ I'm happy I have the time to do this on my day off from work today. This is so relaxing~

Isabelle: (Happily Nodded in Agreement) Uh-huh. (Turns to Wolf and Dedede, Sittong on the Sofa, Watching TV Together Right Next to Her and Morrigan) You boys are more than welcome to join us whenever you like!~

Wolf: Nah, I'll pass. Never been a fan of Yoga.

Dedede: I've done it once, made me broke my back. Hated it ever since.

Wolf: ('Heh') Old timer.

Dedede: (Glares at Wolf) Boy, don't start.

Isabelle: (Softly Glares at the Duo on the Sofa) Boys, no fighting over there. (Turns Back to Morrigan) Now, where were we- ('Gasps') No way. Morrigan, are you doing-

Morrigan: The Jack-O Pose?

Dedede's eyes starts widening up as he turns to see his succubus of a girlfriend is now doing a meme worthy classic, the Jack-O Pose at pure delight and ease.

Morrigan: Why, indeed I am!~ It's been quite some time since I've done this, so you'll have to excuse me if it looks a little rusty.

Isabelle: (Puts on an Impressed Smile on her Face) Are you kidding? This look perfect enough as it is! ('Sigh') Making me wanna try doing one of my own without falling over again......

Morrigan: I'm sure you'll be able get it down one of these days, Isabelle, my dear. It only takes a few more practice and concentration for your body and soul and more focus put on achieving it to near perfection. (Forms a Seductively Teasing Smirk at her King Looking at Her Right Now) Just so you could use on the man you love and adore~

Morrigan blows a kiss at Dedede's way as her hips starts to move up and down and then wiggle it around all over the place, shortly after. Putting his eyes on a mesmerizing trance, as if it's taunting him to come over and give it a more....."thorough" investigation. Hell, he was this close to getting out of his seat until a few snaps of Wolf's finger appears in front of the ex king's face.

Wolf: Hey. De!

Dedede: (Immediately Comes Back to Reality, Startled) I WASN'T STARING AT IT, I SWEAR!! (Notices Wolf is Staring at Him With a Raised Eyebrow, Confused) ....Uhhhhhhhh- ('Clears Throat') You uh....Need somethin', Wolfman?

Wolf: Yeah. Firstly, I'm gonna have to ask you to never call me that for as long as you live. Second, I'm about head out and get us all something to eat. You wanna come with?

Dedede: ('Sighs in Relief') Nah, I'll pass.....Need to clear my mind for a sec.

Morrigan: Spendid!~

The sound of light, muffled clapping starts ringing into De's ears as he turns to see Morrigan is now making the cheeks of her rear to clap.

Morrigan: You can see if I could stay in this position for twenty minutes~

Dedede: (Eyes Widened in Fear and Under Pressure) On second thought- (Immediately Gets Himself Up From his Seat) I could use some fresh air right about now. (Quickly Rushes Out the Room Without Looking at Morrigan) See y'all in a few!

Wolf: (Sighs as He Walks Out the Room as Well) I'll make sure he doesn't bump into something on the way there. Or faint.

Isabelle: (Watches the Boys Walk Out the Room) Poor De. (Turns Back to Morrigan) You're gonna end up making him have combust if you keep teasing him like that.

Morrigan: That's the plan!~ (Forms an Sinster Smirk on her Face) I love it.

Isabelle: For No Nut November?

Morrigan: For No Nut November~

Back to the Present

Escargoon: A Jack-O Pose AND the clap of the ass cheeks at the same time? That's terrifyingly impressive.

Dedede: My thoughts exactly! (Crosses his Arms Huffing and Puffing) Bet she was smirking the whole time we were out too. Oh, and let's not forget the time me and her went to the park and-

Flashback to the Local Smash Park.......

Dedede: (Sighs Relaxingly as He Leans Himself Back a Bit While Sitting Next to Morrigan on a Bench Together) It always a good time being out here in this weather~

Morrigan: (Sighs Relaxingly While Holding a Firecracker Popsicle in her Hands) Agreed~ (Turns to Dedede) Darling,, are you sure you don't want a popsicle of your to devour as well?

Dedede: Yeah, I'm sure. Ate breakfast earlier, so I don't feel the need to eat anything sweet right now, you know?

Morrigan: (Stares at De for a Brief Second Before Shrugging it Off) Hm. Suit yourself. Say, do you mind holding the stick for me as I eat it? (Hands the Popsicle to De) I don't want to rest my hair getting sticky. (Starts Wrapping her Hair Up into a Ponytail)

Dedede: Sure thing. (Takes the Wrapping Off the Popsicle and Holds it Right in Front of Morrigan's Face) It's all ready for ya.

Morrigan: Thank you, dear.

Morrigan pushes the front side of her hair back a little as she leans over and..."casually" suck the popsicle down back and forth before leaning back a bit to lick it all over with her tongue and sucking it all over again, all while moaning sensually in the process.

This in turn, causes the poor Ex King of Dreamland's eyes to widen up at the entire display in front of him, in pure disbelief, unable to looking away no matter much he wants to. As if his girlfriend wasn't irresistibly hot enough already.....

Dedede: Jesus christ, Morrg.......

Morrigan: (Looks Back Up at her King with a Look Nearly Equivalent to That of Bedroom Eyes) Hmm?~ Is something the matter?

Dedede: Uh- (Comes Back to Reality Before Quickly Turning Away a Bit) N-No! It's nothing. Just.....(Starts Blushing) loving you unconditionally like always, is all.....

Morrigan: (Heart Begins to Melt in Pure Happiness) Ohh~ I love you too, my dear king~ (Looks Back at her Frozen Dessert) And I think I LOVE this treat just as much~

Dedede: Mhmm.....(Sucks his Teeth as He Sees a Koopa, Sitting a Few Feet Away From the Bench, Playing his Saxophone in a Slow, Sensual Sounding Melody) Man, do we really have sit right next to that saxophone player over there?

Morrigan: (Softly Pouts at her King) Dedede! Be nice. (Pulls her Ten Dollar Bill Out of her Purse) He is doing a wonderful job plating that saxophone and will continue to do as such as he wish. (Summons her Bat to Fly Over and Drop the Ten Dollars Down onto the Koopa's Saxophone Case) For you, my good sir.

Saxophone Koopa: (Tips his hat to Morrigan Before Resumes Back to his Playing Session)

Morrigan: (Turns Back to Dedede) Now, be a very good boy and pay him no mind, okay?

Dedede: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yes, ma'am.

Morrigan: Thank you. (Forms a More Seductive Smirk on her Face) Now~ Where were we?~

Morrigan resumes back to her sensual popsicle sulking while moaning a little more louder than previously, causing De to groan in displeasure at trying hus hardest to keep himself and his urges in complete check.

End of Another Flashback

Escargoon: Okay, that saxophone playing in the background, was just asking her to get a rise out of you at that point.

Dedede: Exactly what I was thinking! (Facepalms Himself While Groaning Some More) Oh God and don't even get me started at the time at that restaurant-

Flashback to the Crimsonette Restaurant

Dedede was playing on the piano while Morrigan was sitting on top of it, singing her heart out.

Morrigan: Fill my heart with song and let me sinh forevermore!~You are all I long for, all I worship and adore!~

Morrigan then proceeds to teleport her way to sit right next to her king, startling him a bit. She then slowly leans herself over to him while looking deep into his big eyes with her signature bedroom look, making him blush all over again.

Morrigan: In other worrrrds~ Please be truuuuuue~ (Gently Places her Hands onto Dedede's Cheek) In other words~ I looove yoooooooou~ My darling king~

The pair then share a passionate kiss on the lips as everyone else present in the establishment begins to applaud the both of them right on cue.

End to Yet Another Flashback

Escargoon: (A Memory Coming Back to Him) Oh yeah, Bandana Dee showed me a clip of that on choir practice a day after that. You guys did pretty good up there.

Dedede: (Takes a Bow While Still Sitting on his Table) Thank you, thank you kindly. (Lightly Slams his Hands on the Table) But that's beside the point, boy! I'm at my wits here!

Escargoon: (Gives his Best Friend a Reassuring Smile) I know it's a tough road ahead, De. But try and keep at it until the very end. I guarantee I will be all worth it then.

Dedede: Sure hope it.

'Buzzzzzzzz'

Dedede: (Picks his Phone Up and Check the New Message Sent to Him Just Now) What the?

Escargoon: What is it?

Dedede: Morrigan sent me a five minute long audio recording just now. (Puts on a Bit of a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Who wanna bet it's something lewd?

Escargoon: (Shrugs) Only one way to find out.

Dedede: Yeah, yeah. (Press Plays on the Audio With a Picture of Morrigan and a Few of her Modeling Friends are Laying in One Bed Together)

Morrigan: (In the Recording) Good day, my lovelies!~ This is one and only Morrigan Aensland speaking and the ladies here and I decided do something for all the working men and women out there that is need desperate need of a stress reliever right now. This is also dedicated to a...very special former king of Dreamland that has stolen my beating heart in allll the right ways~ I hope you enjoy the ride, my love~ (Makes a Single Kissing Noise)

The audio went silent for a few seconds until a familiar sound of the saxophone begins to play in the background, follow by the collective sounds of sensual sounding moans from each of the ladies present in the audio, Morrigan especially, who is gradually becoming the loudest and most prominent of them all.

This, in turn, causes the duo's eyes and mouth to slowly open up wide as they are in near speechless in pure disbelief at what they are hearing on De's phone right now.

Dedede: (Starts Using the Napkin to Wipe Sweat Off his Forehead as He's Blushing Up a Storm) Dear lord........

Escargoon: Is.....Is this.....seriously five whole minutes of them moaning?

Dedede: Should've known that would be the case just by looking at this picture alone.

Morrigan: I love you, my darling king!~ (Continues Moaning Along with the Other Ladies on the Recording)

Escargoon: Man, you are not kidding when you say she's going all out.... (Notices Dedede's Hand Hovering on the Phone) Heyyy. De, what are you doing over there?

Dedede: (Quickly Hides his Hands Behind Back While Giving Escargoon the Most Awkward Smile Imaginable) NOTHING! Nothing. I was just getting a any sip of my drink.

Escargoon: (Raises an Eyebrow at De) Really? Cause it looks to me that you were about to pick up that phone and call her.

Dedede: ('Scoffs') So what if i am? I was going to tell her how neat the audio is and compliment saxophone player in the background and....(Starts Sweating Again but More Nervously This Time Around) the ladies on....contributing....with.... their mooooan- (Suddenly Let's Out a Loud, Frustrated Sounding Groan) ('ARGHH') I can't- (Bang his Fist on the Table) TAKE THIS SHIT no more!!

Escargoon: De, come on, you can't cave yourself in now, not when you're only halfway there!

Dedede: (Comically Glares at Escargoon) Boy, you think I don't know that already!? First the pose, then the Firecracker popsicle, the duet, and now this!? (Poinrs his Hand on his Phone with The Sound Moaning and Saxophone Still Playing on There) That beautiful woman is doing too much, man, she's killing me!!

Escargoon: This obviously her way to psyching you out of focus. What you need to do right now is calm down, taking a deep breath, and-

Dedede: (Gets Up From his Seat) Nah, you wanna do I'm gonna do instead? I'mma call her up on my phone, tell her i give up, and have her help BUST. MY NUTS. OPE-

Before De could even dare to finish that sentence and do the unthinkable, he suddenly gets knocked upside the back of his head hard enough into sitting him back down on his seat, completely stopping him from crashing out entirely. And it was all thanks to none other than the legendary Bounty Hunter of the Smash Family, Samus Aran.

Samus: Pull it together and keep it in your pants, De. This isn't over yet.

Dedede: (Starts Panting as He Gradually Comes Back to Reality) Yeah.....You're right......(Claps Both of his Cheeks Two Times Before Putting on a More Determined Look on his Face) This ain't over until I MAKE that succubus sing a melody on the first midnight of December! (Turns to Samus with a Smile) Thanks for breaking me outta that funk, girl.

Samus: (Smirks a Bit at Dedede) Anytime, brother.

The Smash duo then shares a casual high five with one another.

Samus: (Happily Waves Hello to Escargoon as She Finds Herself a Seat) Hi, Escar~

Escargoon: (Waves Back at Samus with a Bit of a Confused Look on his Face) Hey, Samus....What's going on here?

Samus: Nothing too major. (Gently Pat on Dedede's Shoulder) Just making sure this dumb-dumb over here doesn't slip up and fail the challenge.

Dedede: It may be a handicap to some, but I find this strategy far more beneficial than completely doing it all on myself.

Escargoon: (Shrugs) Hey, if it helps, it's help. (Smiles Softly) I'm just glad you didn't throw in the towel yet.

Dedede: ('Sighs in Relief') You and me both, man. And you're right, it has been tough battle so far- (Puts on a More Determined Look on his Face) But I did not fail more than three times to four in the row just to add this year to the tally! I'mma pass me that challenge.

Samus: (Puts on a Proud Smile on her Face) That's the spirit, De. I'm with you 100%. Just don't go back on our word, you hear?

Escargoon: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) His word?

Samus: I made him promise to never take the challenge again afterwards.

Dedede: If I win this one.

Samus: (Gives Dedede a Firm Glare) Um. No. There is no "ifs", "ands", or "buts" in this discussion, De. You're going to quit participating in that stupid challenge whether you win OR lose.

Escargoon: I'm gonna have to agree with Samus on this one, bud. You've already proven yourself to be a man in your own right, you don't have to keep proving that by taking a challenge that's already a meme of itself.

Dedede: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yeah, i guess y'all have a point there...It does starting to get old after while.

Samus: Exactly. Hence why I say it's stupid.

Escargoon: Hey, speaking of which, have you participated in the challenge this year, Samus?

Samus: (Starts Rubbing The Back of her Hair Back and Forth) Yeah, but uh.......

Dedede: You failed again, didn't you?

Samus: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yeah....Last night.

Samus Aran: Mission's a Bust.

Dedede: (Clicks his Teeth at Samus in Disbelief) Damn girl! And you said I'm weak minded?

Samus: (Pouts at Dedede) Hey, excuse me for having The Strongest Momm- I mean, Mom- I-I mean- (Starts Blushing Before Clearing her Throat) The Strongest WOMAN in the World for a girlfriend. I knew what i gotten myself into the day I fallen in her with her- (Glares at Both De and Escar as Her Face Starts Getting Redder) And I am NOT a Bottom!!!

Escargoon: We.....didn't say you were one though.

Dedede: (Forns a Teasing Smirk on his Face).But since you brought it up......

Escargoon: (Quickly Glares at his Best Friend) De, don't start.

Samus: (Glares Harshly at Dedede) Yeah, De. DON'T. Unless you really want me to send you to outter space.

Dedede: ('Clicks Teeth') Man, will you relax already, girl? I was just kidding! You being a Top and/or Bottom doesn't change the fact that you're the toughest Bounty Hunter in the whole town. Especially not to us.

Escargoon: (Smiles Softly at the Bounty Hunter in Question) Yeah, you'll always be cool in our eyes, Samus.

Samus: (Heart Begins to Melt as She Turns Away From the Duo, Pouting) Whatever. (Starts Blushing Once More) You dorks will always be cool in my eyes too....

Dedede: (Snickers a Bit) You gonna give Luigi a run for his money on the cuteness scale if you keep puffing your cheeks out like that.

Samus: Nah. I can never be on par with Weegie's cuteness. Remind me hug him later, will ya?

Dedede: (Smirks at Samus) Give us details on what happened that night and I'll convince everyone in our group to give the greatest group hug he'll ever have in his life.

Samus: (Notices the Picture on Dedede's Phone) Lemme hear that audio Morrigan sent you first and I'll you tell you every juicy detail possible. (Turns to Escargoon) If you don't mind listening too, Escar.

Escargoon: Yeah, I don't mind. I think I'm curious about it too actually.

Dedede: Then it's a deal-deal!

Both Dedede and Samus shake on the respective deals as they enjoy the rest of their chatting together with Escargoon on a breezy afternoon.

Then you need to get in touch with Tumblr staff to fix something, because for me it popped a notif earlier today and those have no time stamp.

Um no what it says because of all those cases is that it didn't do what THEY wanted it to do. Right-wingers wanted it to not have LGBT+ or respect for femmes or to be anti-fascist. Far leftists want I guess for it to time travel to have more PoC, rush its LGBT+ pair, and become leftist propaganda vs. a story that has a progessive lean but isn't guzzling the kool-aid. The women of that bunch mentioned either simp for Adam, Ironwood, and/or Sun and thus want the story bent around them. On top of that throwing double-standards in the mix too. So far the track record is that every single left-leaned or neutral person that has come into the show in recent times has come away loving it and going "why is this spoken of like its trash? Its great." the latest case being NSAF.

Um no, Pyrrha was able to go toe-to-toe with Cinder a half-powered Maiden; that completely throws off power balance when Pyrrha already did that as is. Pyrrha alone could handle Mercury and Emerald probably, which isn't something one wants at v3 of a potentially 12+ volume story. On top of that ONLY she could stand a chance in hell of going toe-to-toe with Cinder in that moment. Mercury figured out her strategy but there was never a legit statement of him actually being able to take her on.

No, it didn't that was a MASSIVELY lower thing than the establishing Cinder as a powerful villain, the dark tone the series was heading towards from the light school arc, that death was a thing that was on the table, pushing Ruby to her first use of silver-eyes ability, etc. Yes, Jaune is the one with moments of remembrance of her due to being on her team and the two clearly having been going towards a romance; but that doesn't equate to her death being all about him. Hell if that were the case HE'D be the one rushing to where Pyrrha was to see her die and getting his semblance at seeing it, not Ruby.

Yes, she spent time with him like any character on a team does and characters in general fucking do with other characters cause y'know they're supposed to interact and be a team. Jaune doesn't even fucking go on to be some legendary swordsman, he's a damn support. The worldbuilding elements are the same case as with Sun, they're meant for the audience. Falling in love with him = yeah, no shit and her reason for it makes fucking sense. As for that last bit, yeah moron that's kind of the whole deal with secondary characters; especially when you know they aren't going past v3. While the with him goes to once again them being both on the same team and being romantically tied.

Um yeah, you actually are. Your whole bullshit about Jaune is in itself misinformation that gives the impression of him being far more important or a bigger thing in the canon; while then also having your dipshit ass pair it with "going against the subversion of sexist tropes" angle. Not only is it false af and based entirely in your biased warped ass vision of what happened vs. reality; but it also seeks to undermine a core aspect of the goddamn show. That its not really subverting sexist tropes and pro-femmes being center stage and badasses; because your dumbass watches scenes with a clear film over your damn eyes.

See the "what's harm" part of this would work like 8-10 years ago; but now one can't throw a rock without someone saying how they "heard RWBY was bad" hell some would even think it treats its femme characters horribly. Hell some actually think the show legitimately queerbaits (some do it for the meme others mean it), when it doesn't. THAT is the harm that gets done by dipshits like you spewing your shit which gets spewed by whoever saw your shit who then spews it to another.

Frankly I don't give two shits if its a 20 year vet of the film industry show or "amateurs"; only damn thing I care about is if its good and if it invokes eye-rolling sexist or queerphobic tropes. These "amateurs" do a better damn job than some others that try to touch on the same shit. Hell as much as I love Arcane, I wish they'd given Violyn the sort of multi-arc setup that BB had. I wish Dragon Prince had left Viren as a piece of shit, instead of giving him a redemtion arc. Like were there elements to it that were good? Sure, but it doesn't take back all the shit he did that crossed so damn many lines. That's just naming 2 cases. So take that angle and shove it up your ass too.

Say you never watched RWBY without actually saying you never watched RWBY.

Aromancy: "Wasted potential"

And thus you speak the same as Hbomb...meaningless lies with misinformation. Poor soul, who spreads lies happily to hate.

I watched up to about halfway through Season 4. Season 3 ended on a high point that had me excited for more, but basically nothing happened afterwards and I got bored and dropped it. I say the same thing as Hbomberguy because I agree with him; the show is an attempt at anime made by people who enjoy the superficial aspects of anime but fail to look beneath the surface to examine the themes.

Monty's fight scenes were excellent (and even after he died -rest in peace -the fights continued to be excellent; Pyrrha vs. Mercury is probably my favorite of the whole series), but his unwillingness to work hand-in-hand with the writers in charge of providing context let the whole show down.

I haven't seen past season 4 personally, but I've heard many RWBY fans disparaging the series since, especially Season 8, and I have no reason to doubt their testimony.

Like it pissed me off so much because I adored markiplier, I never became a ”stan” per say but he was the only creator I watched frequently for awhile - and don’t get me wrong, he is really on the better end of content creators with being progessive and advocating for charity and whatnot. It’s just the hypocrisy these holier-then-thou fans of him or simular creators show to Dream/his fans when if you look, you will find similar situations accross the board because Dream is not a unique case in the actions/beliefs he had (he’s a unique case in having such a public turning point though and defending his own “cancellations”).

i love mark srsly he is one of my childhood yters that ill always be thankful for following in all the various points in my life but yes totally agree!!! it has nothing to do with mark really but like u said his fans and fans of similar backgrounds have such a strange attitude towards dream when they all most definitely have similar backgrounds if not significantly worse 😭 im esp thinking of the tiktok crowd which adore mark and other childhood/nostalgia-inducing creators but will shit on dream and any dsmp fan in the same breath. itd be a really interesting phenomenon (like a lot of things revolving dreams very isolated treatment online) if it wasnt so aggravating and sad

I WANTED TO RANT ABOUT HOW MOST OF MEN LIVE LIVES OF QUIET DESPERATION AND WANT TO JUST RUN AWAY FROM THIS GENERATIONAL CURSE WE'VE INHERITED FROM OUR FATHERS, BY CHOOSING LIVES THAT ARE UNSATISFYING. WORKING ALL DAY DOING SOMTHING SO STRAINING AND SOUL CRUSHING DAILY JUST TO SURVIVE AND FEED OUR FAMILIES...WE RELISH THE 5 MIN WE CAN GET AWAY TO SHIT AT WORK OR THE 10 MIN WERE STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON OUR WAY HOME.THESE END UP BECOMING HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR GOD AWFUL DAYS, ALONG WITH LAYING DOWN TO WATCH TV ABOUT PEOPLE OR THINGS THAT WE ARENT AND WILL NEVER BE WITH THE INTENTIONS OF ESCAPING THE LIFE WE ARE BLESSED WITH.WE IGNORE THE REALATIONSHIPS WE NEGLET ,AND THE FAMILY WE SHOULD LOVE SELFLESSLY, HIDING BEHIND SUCH IDEALS AS "THE PROUD BLUE COLLAR WORKER". SOME OF US MAKE THESE INTO EXCUSES BECAUSE WE'RE RAISED TO BE JUST LIKE OUR FATHERS ,AND THE FATHERS WHO RAISED THEM , TOO BAD THEY COULDNNT SEE A WAY OUT OF THIS LOOP.THIS WAS CREATED BY THE LOWER-MIDDLE CLASS MAN WHO IS CELEBRATED BUT AT THE SAME TIME USED AND LOOKED DOWN ON BY HIS PEERS AS "NOT DRIVEN", AND EVEN TO SOME "EASILY REPLACED".THEY DONT REALIZE THE TIME IT TAKES TO LEARN SUCH TRADES WE NEED TO SURVIVE SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND BECOME A BETTER FUNCTIONING SOCIETY. WE DONT SEE THE BLOOD AND SWEAT PUT INTO THE ROADS WE DRIVE, OR THE BRIDGES WE FISH OFF.LIKE ANYONE ON THIS PLANET THE ONLY THING THAT WE CARE OR THINK ABOUT IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT.WE'RE SPOILED BY THIS GOVERMENT THAT TEACHES US TO WORRY ABOUT BECOMING DOCTORS AND LAWYERS, OR IDOLIZING CELEBRITIES AND INFLUENCERS.THEY TEACH OUR YOUTH ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE LIKED BY THE WORLD THAN TO HELP PROGESS SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.WE DONT TALK ABOUT THE "BLUE COLLAR WORKERS" WHO PUT EVERYTHING INTO BUILDING THE SAME PLACE THEY GET TO  RELAX AND TEACH IN.WHO BUILT THE STADIUMS THEY GET TO PLAY IN... ITS LOOKED DOWN ON IF A YOUNG MAN IN SCHOOL SAYS "I WANT TO BE A CARPENTER OR A TRUCK DRIVER".IF THEY DO ITS FOLLOWED BY BEING TEASED OR TOLD ITS BECAUSE THEY'RE "HICKS" OR "YOUR TO SMART" BUT ITS BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T RAISED WITH ALL THE BLESSINGS OF THIER PEERS .INSTEAD THEY HAD TO WATCH THE MEN THEY LOVE BUILD THINGS AND BREAK THEIR BODIES PROVIDING FOR THE FAMILY .SO FROM A YOUNG AGE ITS BEAT INTO THEIR VERY EXISTENCE THAT THE SIMPLE GOD FEARING, HARD WORKING LIFE OF OUR FATHERS IS HOW WERE MESURED AS MEN.UNKNOWINGLY TRAPPING THESE YOUNG MEN BEFORE THEY EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO LEARN WHAT THEY WANT TO ENJOY OUT OF LIFE.

[maid-of-the-golden-deer]

A  rundown on my thoughts on Vesperia (I’m at the beginning of the second part, am a chunk of the ways into the Nordopolica Coliseum stuff). Under the cut, broken into “what I liked”, “what I didn’t”, and “what I feel nuetrally on”.

Postives:

The characters are so lovely, I am so attached to all of them, especially Yuri, Flynn, and Estelle. I love the sliding scale of idealism to cynicism they have going (though none of them are 100% either), it’s so fascinating and endearing

Yuri. I’ve been told that he’s almost far and away one of the most popular characters in the whole series and man, I completely get it. The fact that he turns to morally grey actions because he cares so much about the well being of others, even people he knows he’ll never see again, is just so unique for a protagonist that it makes him so hard not to love. You can tell that he wants to be able to be cold, to be unfeeling, but he just can’t, he loves and feels and desires to help others so strongly that he can almost never say no to anything that’s asked of him, even if he’ll offer token complaint along the way. He’s just. A treasure. And he’s a goddamn adult for once, like young protags are fine but seeing a character who has a bit more life experience under their belt is so refreshing

Found family bitches!!! I legitimately teared up when Yuri pat Karol’s head to comfort him. He’s such a big brother to Estelle and Karol it’s so precious!!!! You can really feel that Yuri enjoys having people who rely on him, and whom he can rely on in return. He’s always so supportive!!

Estelle is an angel descended upon this world, I love how shes in many ways sort of a more typical protag than Yuri but instead the game examines the pros and cons of being Like That. That to have that inherent goodness and selflessness is a great thing, but it can also be very selfish. And watching her discover what she really wants in life is a fascinating journey I can’t wait to finish with her

Karol isn’t my favorite child in media but like I want to give the poor boy a hug, like everyone chatises (outside of Brave Vesperia) him for being a coward but like he’s only 12 years old????? I find it perfectly reasonable for him to run??????? He’s a fucking 7th grader. And his reaction to finally getting the acceptance he’s always craved? Mwah

Where I’m at in the story Flynn’s only been in and out and only playable once so I don’t know him as well but he’s an archetype I love so I have immediate bias for him lmao. I do like how they continually go out of their way to show you that him and Yuri have the same same goal, the same morals, the same hopes, but they simply cannot reconcile each other’s methods no matter what. That is exactly how you make amazing rival characters. Even when they opposed each other you could always feel the overwhelming care they have for each other, it’s so good....

Judith is a Queen, I don’t know much about her yet since she’s a relatively recent addition to my party but I love that like the designated fanservice girl has like an actual Reason to be so and like, isn’t just titties out for no reason and actively enjoys it. Her slightly moral ambiguity is also really well done, like you can super tell that she’s a good person but she’s done some shit that was at least callous to the consequences of her good deeds. Also, flirty friendships are my jam Yuri/Judith BrOTP 4 lyfe

Rita is a baby gay and I wish her the best of luck on her journey to come to terms with her lesbianhood. For the most part imo she’s a fairly standard tsundere but like, sometimes having an Archetype...but Gay(tm) is all you need to be a good character

I have no strong feelings on Raven since he’s also been in and out and I don’t really like how he’s voice acted. He’s like, chill, he’s the funky uncle

I tend not to retain much about the story of an RPG the first time I play it since theres so much dialogue and flavor text to plow through but I do kind of like the loose structure of it, it feels very natural, like I’m just along for a random ass adventure these people are having. It’s really linear but it never feels like it’s on rails or anything

Negatives:

I’m not super into the gameplay, I can’t tell if its not good, I’m just bad at it, or a mix of both

Okay the fact that you can’t see enemy health bars in combat unless you hold down a button which also pauses the action is Bad imo, it makes every fight feel way longer bc I’m getting no immediate feedback on my progess

It’s. So. Fucking. Obtuse on what it wants you to do sometimes!!! Like a lot of the time its obvious but then sometimes the only reason I didn’t need a guide is I was blindly spamming A or Y (for shit with the Sorcerer’s Ring) and running into the walls praying something was interactable. I know people complain about games these days holding your hand too much or something but geeze.

Related to the above, minimaps for the dungeons and towns please, like its nice to have on the overworld but honestly I get more turned around and lost in indoor locations, since a lot of the backgrounds aren’t super unique looking. It could be progessively filled out as you go like the overworld map. Please.

I LOVE the story and characters and as I said above but like. The cutscenes break up the action every fucking five seconds, these people can walk and talk!!!! Like not to somehow bring a Bioware comparison into this but like, some of the skits could be had while you’re traversingt he world map instead of stopping you dead. It makes the pacing very “stop and start” and jarring

The puzzles. Wait, that’s not accurate, the long ass sections where you just spam the Y button to hit shit with your socerer’s ring an back track. They suck. The game’s already plenty long, didn’t need padding

No strong opinions on:

The aesthetic. Standard fantasy setting, some of the monster designs are cute and fun, some feel lazy, I likely won’t remember any of them in the long run. 

Same for the music. The Dahngrest theme is the only one that ever stood out to me as “oh, I like this”.

Worldbuilding too. The names are a bit Much so I can barely recall a lot of them, and the ones I do I def can’t spell lmao. And I find it hard to retain a lot of the background stuff that you find out when it’s mostly infodumped at you by Estelle like she’s Ye Olde Google

All in all I’m enjoying my time with it, though honestly more for the interactive experience elements than as a game.

-found out Taco Bell brought back the nachos box!!!!! Basically the highlight of my week (til I get one)

-my gas tank was on empty for the first time ever today. my mom won’t put gas in it bc it’s not street legal (dumb reason but 🤷🏽‍♀️) despite driving it way more than me. Back when it was the main vehicle *I* never let it get under half

-this weekend was strange and fun. I was really happy to see one of my old bffs and we ended up hanging with people from hs at the end of the night. It’s strange how dynamics change. And hearing how other people remember me and shit.

-I checked one thing off my 17 point “get my shit together” list!! Progession!!

-I started flirting with this dude from out here and I thought for a second he might be into me, but then I realized he’s on his rebound shit and only sees me as a potential sexual partner, not a life partner. It was fun to think about though

-In true Taurus fashion I just want someone to eat a different places with, watch movies and/or play games, cuddle and sexy times. That’s it. A casual, (but committed!) chill partner that loves giving head and has bomb d

-I have a few matches on tinder but none of them really jump out at me. I don’t know what I really want and I’m not trying to waste time

-going to a local fashion week at the end of the week. I’m hoping to network a little. Nooo clue what I’m gonna wear though

-been playing n64 games on my computer, I finally figured it out. It’s been so nice to play games again!! I need to get an emulator controller but I’m making it work with an xb1 controller

-oh and I’m pretty sure I lost my moms coach sunglasses at the wedding and I’m sooo fucking afraid to tell her

What I think made VLD fail narratively and a possible fix-it

Most of us agree it was in S3 when Voltron went all over the place, Voltron’s plot went like a headless chicken from S3 to S6 then S7 looks like filler and S8 took the weight of explaining everything

The main problem is that Voltron doesn’t have a real coherent focal point of conflict, there are power stuggles between the baddies that leaves us an the general story line confused,here’s each season’s conflict or problem and how it went wrong and a possible fix it (Loooong post)

S1 - S2 (The Perfect ones)

Problem: Zarkon

Big Conqueror Meanie, these is not much to say about Zarkon other than he is the bad guy so the paladins have time to start their journey and learn of each other and the situation they are in, along with us the audience and at the end of S2 the big meanie is defeated

S3 - S6 (Headless Chicken)

Problem: ???? Lotor, then Zarkon then Lotor and at times even Haggar

Lotor is now our main conflict focus, his premise is that he is turning the Galra into Good people, so that opens the idea that they could go back to being the peaceful people they were, even be part of the newly forming Coalition, so Lotor joining forces with Voltron for the greater good is not such a crazy idea, in fact, that is the idea

However we also see he is a back stabber, he is always waiting it out for the best moment to strike and you know it’s going to be big but he waits so damn long even his generals get fed up with him and betray him, at some points even Haggar looks like a good contender to be the true big baddie but then...

Zarkon is back alive, pushing the focus of the conflic back to him because this series began with him, we were trained to see him as the main threat so Lotor and Haggar are pushed back, for what? Zarkon gets killed again and Lotor is now the emperor then he is shown to be the good guy working alongside Voltron only for then to back stab them and reveal his true intentions

Ring any bells? This was stablished since season 3, but Lotor only get’s to be emperor and his defeat all in season 6, we went 3 season going in circles, in between baddies, only to end up in the same place, Lotor is crowned, makes Good galra and uses Allura for research

The problem here is, we as an audience don’t have a clear focus on the conflict we only ever feel a general “galra is bad period” conflict that is not strong enough to be a real motive or plausable “why” for the series actions and character development of our heroes and the series story in general, they change direction and focus that the paladins and we as an audience fail to catch up and have the characters do things and stuff that makes no sense at all

Keith, we start with him tryin to be the leader but then Shiro comes back so that pushes Keith away into the Blades only for him to come back to pilot black, Shiro disappears only to come back into his role, Pidge focuses on the threat at hand when suddenly we have an entire episode of her finding her family with it legit starting in a “hey this GENERAL CONFLICT is happening but I need to take a few days” (seriously see the begining of that ep is almost literally like that, I’m really not making it up). Lance swings back and forward from goofball lover-boy to serious team mate to goofball and then back to serious, Hunk, my poor boy gets left behind in development entirely again, and this happens for 3 WHOLE SEASONS, and again, they all go in circles until they end up in the exact same place they hinted at in the beginning of season 3

S7 (Complete Filler)

Problem: Sendak?!

Ok after we stablished our main group of baddies, the royal family pretty much, S7 brings Sendak? A secondary villain that has no depth over Vrepit Sa and Victory or Death? The main drive of the season is that earth is in danger but since this is the focus, all the past 6 seasons feel for nothing, we don’t see anything of the main baddies, the royal family so story wise we don’t get much content per se

We get a lot of the characters’ development and backstory here but this shows how VLD failed narratively, without a clear structure in the headless chicken phase there were never moments to naturally wove in character development into the story (like S1 - S2 showing Pidge slowly getting info of her family as the story progessed without taking the focus of the threat at hand) beause there was no story! we were all confused and runing around like headless chikens from baddie to baddie to really include our heroes stories, so they had no choice but to shove them down our throats in this season

I knew VLDs was at it’s worst when right from the start, the very first episode:

Keith: you have no idea what Shiro’s done for me

VLD: proceeds to show what Shiro did

FFFFFFFFFFF what? This is so so so balantly obvious, as in literal narration, shows how bad VLD got that they just flat out tell you, these little phrases, these nudges of ‘hey hey you remember?’ are meant to be used because you have previously stablished the moment before, an ‘oh yes I remember!’, I read that all those flashback were due to appear back in the start of S2 when Keith and Shiro were wormeholed together and they reminicent a little on their past and bond, but they held back because they didn’t want to put a heavy flashback episode, well they had no choice but make S7Ep1 a heavy flashback episode because they didn’t do it throughout the consecutive seasons, if they had added just one scene, one memory back in S2

“Brused Keith outside of office, clearly he fought someone, Shiro telling him he won’t give up on him”

When we finally arrive at S7 and Keith delivers that line, we know the deep meaning behing it, we feel conected to the show, is the same feeling we get at Marvel movies when they drop a name or a previous event, or when in Justice League Bruce tells Diana about Steve, we feel that, because we know just how loaded that phrase is, in here is just a flat line with no meaning until Voltron shows you in that exact next moment why it has to have meaning, since they went all over the place in the Headless Chicken phase, they had no time to add these things, leaving the creators with no choice but to push important plot things in this filler season and of course, our next and last one

S8 (The Final Choke)

Problem: Haggar, Royal Family

Now here I admit something, I have yet to watch S8 but I’ve spoiled myself enough, comments would be appreciated if I got something wrong.

Not gonna talk on any shipping or the character’s ending, the main problem I see repeat itself is people talking how little there is of the characters, how they go back to square 1 on what their roles are (cook, tech-wiz, fearless leader) rather than the people we saw grow and develop, how there’s little interaction between them and that is pretty much the main reason almost all of us are here (yes there is but is fewer than in other seasons) however the reason is that this season has the job to build up and break down Haggar’s but also the Royal Familys’, despite having 7 seasons it is only now that Haggar gets the full back story and with that tie in the finale, Voltron expects us to be able to focus on the villans and not so much on the paladins (heroes) because, supposedly, they’ve spent 7 seasons telling us who this characters are, what motivates them, what makes them strong, that we no longer need to focus on them that much, meaning we have enough time to give the Royal Family all the story they never had and our heroes just the final touches, the final tie ins that they need to lead them into their epilogue

So that went to shit, unfortunately, by the reactions, they didn’t succeed, they had to drop things, rush things, forcefully add things to give the season a bit of sense and coherence while also adding big robo fights and general stuff like comic moments, bonding and their lay-low/fun episode, it was just a lot and they barely got it

So now on to my main point, the reason VLD has so many plot holes, so many stories that go nowhere is because of that damn headless chicken phase, we wasted time seeing Lotor get to the throne with so many twist and turns, that time should’ve been used to add character development and a coherent story, the story has nothing to focus on, leaving the creators to fill in with sometimes even more things that they should, leaving so many loose ends the audience and even VLD himself can’t keep up, ultimately having to rely on their last 2 season to try and pull it all together, if they succeeded or not is up to you

Also I saw a post saying how VLD built up a world and it’s rules but then did whatever it wanted, making new rules, breaking them or remaking them, there is no logic behind, this also affects the last 2 seasons, since they reach a point were there really is no time left for the resolution, they have to rely on convinient things to solve problems, to make and break rules as they go to try and fix the problem but this can also get confusing and sometimes a little over the top, in S7 they legit say, there’s a lot of crazy science stuff said to make things work, just go with it, pretty much means, don’t think of it too much, we didn’t either, just bask in the glorious thiccness of the Atlas

My fix it is basically to let Lotor become emperor sooner, Zarkon stays dead and Lotors’ defeat to be a season sooner, thus allowing VLD time to develop Honerva

S1 - S2

Those are perfect

S3 - S5

Lotor becomes emperor because he is the rightful heir, he creates a Good Galra but he either

Makes it fake like in the Altean colonies and uses people for making his mega weapon

Threatens the people to tell Voltron they are safe with the Galra (they did something like that at the start of S3)

This gives the Paladins a false sense of trust on Lotor, helping him with getting the material he needed for his ship and the whole Allura thing, ends with his defeat (I would even put Lotor’s squad as the ‘bad guys’, like rebel Galra, so they make Lotor look good but he is directing them, honestly I wanted to see more Paladins VS Lotor’s squad but then they go separate that it never happens again, not all 4 of them at least)

S6

Get back to Earth, basically canon S7, since Sendak is sort of not a main villain, I would start Haggar arc from here the basic info of her plan, it ends with Voltron defeating Sendak

S7 - S8

Start S7 with Honerva’s Robeast we saw at the end of canon S7 (got battle fatigue at the end of canon S7 so putting that last fight to the next season would be great) so that means we get 2 whole season to really flush out what they made in S8, even, EVEN getting a proper Lotor redemption arc were we don’t see his melting corpse

By doing this, you strech the story, give time to focus on what you want to show, I will just talk the only canon pairing, defeating Lotor since S5 gives Allura 3 seasons to get over him and flush out a bit more that ship rather than the rushed out thing we got, give Lance and Hunk more arc, yes I will say it, get the LGBT rep right, focus on the story, show what will help the story, it being how do we defeat this very clear antagonist since we don’t even know who I’m pointing my bayard at, chose what plot you will develop and not put all kinds of plot holes, weave in the character development into the story and not just plaster it into our face because you ran out of time

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

[scientifically-strange]

If you're doing writing requests, could you do something in Marvel Zombies where Danny, Dani and Vlad are immune and protecting New Wakanda when the zombies return, with Danny having a massive hatred of Spidey because he ate Danny's family?

"What are we going to do?" Dani cried. Danny could only look at her, for once in his life not having the answers he needed. Because he didn't know what they were going to do.Ever since the outbreak everything has gone to shit. Nobody really knows who started it, or when, really, but it progessively got worse each week. Eventually it became an all out massacre across the planet, the only safe place being Wakanda since they were so closed off from the outside world. But everything has changed.He knew Thing had control of the subways in most of New York, and Wolverine had a nice chunk of Japan to call his own. He knew that Dani, Vlad, and himself somehow had immunity from the zombie virus, and he knew they had to protect Wakanda. They were already working on a cure as fast as they could, but with only a few samples it was hard. After all, they didn't want to cause contamination in the pristine city."Danny?" Dani asked, looking up at him. Her big green eyes were full of fear as they watched the line of zombies slowly head their way. The fog covered a good portion of them, but from the looks of it there were hundreds. And most of them he used to know. Like Captain America of to the side, Beast right behind him. Deadpool was there too, but no matter how Danny divided up his body he wouldn't stay dead. Undead. Whatever. but he had buried the pieces last time, and he couldn't help the disappointment that came with knowing that it hadn't slowed down the mercenary at all. Right beside him was Danny's old friend, Spider-Man.Danny's chest tightened as he saw the web slinger. They had quickly become friends, and had a sort of special bond, but then Spidey had been turned. They were in Amity when it happened. Danny went to go fight off a ghost and Spider-Man...Well, let's just say Danny was really disappointed when he came back after Danny blasted him full of ectoplasm. The image of his family's half eaten-bodies was forever seared into his brain, and zombie or not, he would never forgive Spider-Man for that.Danny tore his eyes away from the hoard of monsters coming for them and looked behind him, down at New Wakanda. It was the same as it had always been-high tech and peaceful. But these people were about to experience hell if the halfas failed. Vlad crossed his arms and huffed."I don't see why we have to do anything about it," he said."You're immune. You're helping," Danny told him, leaving no room for discussion. While Vlad didn't like being bossed around by a bratty teenager, he knew Danny was right. After all, his business was garbage now that everyone was zombies. If there was a chance to save it, it would be by saving these people. He huffed again."We're gonna fight," Danny finally said, looking back to his clone. "Us three are some of the most powerful being in the world-hell maybe even the universe. If anybody is gonna stop them it's us. So let's do it.""Do you have a plan?" Vlad questioned. His previous annoyance had disappeared, now left only with the desire to finish the mission, and do what Daniel had failed to do-take care of the monster that ate his beloved Maddie. Permanently."Daniel," he said in a cool voice. A testament to his controlled anger. "What affect would your ice powers have on this filth?"Danny shrugged and looked down at his hands. "I don't know. But it could be worth a shot?""At this point anything is worth a shot," Dani replied, her own hands starting to glow with her ice powers. Vlad frowned, muttering about something about getting the short end of the stick."Whatever, Fruitloop," Danny said, flying up a little higher. "We have zombies to end."With that he zoomed forward, knowing that Dani and Vlad were right behind him. The air hittig his face was comforting, covering his body like a cold blanket and offering a sense of security. Danny cherished the few moments he had with it, because in just a moment it would be gone. Possibly forever."Dani, help me create an ice wall!" he shouted. "Vlad, hold them back until we get them surrounded!"Vlad nodded as Danny and Dani dove towards the ground, building the thick ice wall up and around the mass of monsters while Vlad kept them at bay. They were immune to the virus after all, not injury itself. Thankfully with their speed they were able to form the wall in a resonable amount of time. It was large, miles all around, but it seems as though none of the zombies were able to get out, and really that was the goal. If they contained these things before they even got close to Wakanda then already they were ahead of the game. It was a nice change of pace after being behind for so long.Danny gave a happy sigh, but the moment didn't last nearly as long as he would have liked. Some of the zombies were able to fly, or crawl on any surface like a certain wall crawler Danny had a newfound hate for. It wasn't hard to spot him. Since he became a zombie he had become more of a man-spider than a spider-man. He had mutated into something else entirely, with eight large, red eyes and two extra sets of arms coming through the rags of what once was his costume. He climbed with a terrifying speed, but Danny was quicker.He blasted Parker down, trying not to get bit as he did so. He had been bit before, and it had hurt like a sonofabitch, and he would rather not repeat that. He blasted him again, this time with ice. But the monster dogded it and jumped up to swipe at Danny. He had to fly up to be out of reach. Danny growled and shot another ice blast, this time spearing what was once Spider-Man through the chest, forcing the ice to spread over the writhing figure until it was completely encased and unable to move.Ghost ice was unbreakable, so maybe it would isolate them long anough to find a cure, or for them to rip each other apart. Whichever one came first. But one thing was for certain-Spider-Man was not walking away from that one.Danny panted as he wiped the sweat from his brow as he flew higher so he could help Dani with a zombie Iron Man as Vlad blasted the zombies like fish in a barrel, trying to prevent more of them from coming out. They needed to build a ceiling and fast, or else these guys would all get loose and tear Wakanda apart.Danny growled as he made a spear of ice. It wasn`t anything fancy, really. In fact, it was more barbaric than anything, but it managed to get the job done. He was surprised Dani didn't flinch when the tip of the spear came through Tony's chest, right through the dead arc reactor burried in his chest. He pulled the spear out and let Iron Man drop like a stone, only to be eaten up by their former friends."We need to build a roof, not just a wall," Danny said. Dani nodded an got to work, making it large and stable and unbreakable. They would have to make another layer of thick ice once everyone was trapped inside."Gah!" Vlad cried out, reaching for the hands around his throat from the zombie piggy-backing him. It was the zombie of Nightcrawler, hissing and unhinging his jaw to eat Vlad up. Danny and Dani both growled as they blasted the mutant off of Vlad so he could continue to shoot them down. This was pobably the ony time Danny wished Vlad had more powers, like ice. Or fire. He's pretty sure fire would maybe work.All of the non-flyers were quickly stacking on top of each other, fighting to get to the top and over the edge. Vlad blasted them down, and Danny and Dani made the walls higher, eventually curving them. This went on long enough for the afternoon to turn into a muggy evening with a beating orange sunset and into the cool African night where they worked mostly by moonlight and ectoenergy lighting up their path, and eventually into morning again.It seemed wrong for their to be a morning this nice looking when the world has gone to shit, but it still managed to give Danny a small nugget of hope in his chest as he and Dani were finally able to close the dome. Then they silently added two more thick layers of ice, making it stronger than even Fort Smith. Those zombies were locked down and never getting out unless they were able to find some sort of cure.-—-Danny wished the Wakandans didn't cheer for them as they floated in front of the large crowd in the middle of the city. Yes, they saved the day, but only temporarily, and only for this small, insignificant part of the world. But it was a start. Slowly but surely they'd find a cure, and slowly but surely the world would be saved. Danny held onto that small nugget of hope as he looked to the rising sun.He had to do this. For his parents. For Sam and Tucker and Jazz. For all of his super friends that he's lost to this. He needed to do this.The cheeing didn't make the lead in his stomach any lighter as he and the others flew off to go offer ther services to the rest of the world.If anything the weight got heavier.—--------How dare you make me wrote Danny hating Spider-Man. How dare you make me have one half of my otp kill the other. Im mot crying its just eyeball sweat. (It was really fun to write. Also I'm sorry for the lateness, I started it and then the next day started writing a full length fic instead of finishing this so... yeah. I hope you enjoyed it though!)

52: “ Can we cuddle? ”

73: “ Oh, Are you ticklish? ”

151: “ I can’t feel my legs! ”

184: “ Can I touch you? ”

Natsu sat in the center of the sofa, one of Lucy’s books perched on his knee as he flipped through it absentmindedly. Lucy was always weird about him reading her stuff, and so he tried to wait until at least the third draft before sneaking a look at it. Lucy had been in a rut, however, and so Natsu was forced to reread her previous chapters to fend off his boredom.

Magnolia was all but shut down under the heavy thunderstorm outside, Lucy and Natsu trapped in her apartment on Strawberry Street as it had been closer than the guild. She had sent a lacrima message to the guild, letting everyone know her and Natsu were safe but wouldn’t be going to the guild that day. Happy had been especially upset, needing to be talked down from flying through the storm by Lucy. Natsu had been forced to bribe the exceed with the promise of all of Natsu’s catch next time they went fishing.

Natsu sighed loudly, leaning his head against the back of Lucy’s sofa and closing his eyes. She had been drying off for forever, and Natsu didn’t understand why he couldn’t have just dried her off himself. Lucy was so weird she had squawked and turned bright red at his offer, and now she was wasting time drying her hair when they could be playing cards.

A loud boom outside caught Natsu’s attention, the thunder harsh and sudden when he wasn’t watching the flashes of lighting outside the window. The lights flickered overhead, Natsu mentally threatening them if they went out. Lucy got all antsy in the dark with him, which bothered Natsu. She knew he would never try anything, didn’t she?

Besides, it wasn’t like Lucy was even aware of how Natsu felt.

Natsu cocked his head, tracking the soft padding of Lucy’s socked feet walking towards him.

Another crack of thunder rang in the sky, and Natsu opened his eyes with a frown when he sensed Lucy tense beside him. She looked pale, half dried hair thrown in a messy braid and large shirt trailing to her mid thigh.

“Can we cuddle?” Lucy asked, voice timid as she looked at her hands clasped in front of her. Natsu opened his mouth to ask her why she wanted to cuddle when a third boom shook the small apartment, Lucy flinching and curling into herself at the noise.

“Course, weirdo.” Natsu said instead, grinning at her easily. She smiled at him, shy and thankful in response as she slipped onto the couch beside him. Natsu shifted them around, his back now tucked into the corner of the couch and Lucy curled under his arm. She squeaked and pressed into his side firmly when the power shut off, the room falling into pitch blackness while the sky roared.

Natsu ran a comforting hand over Lucy’s back, soothing her small shakes as he tried to think. It had never occurred to Natsu that Lucy might be afraid of thunderstorms, and frankly he didn’t know what to say.

“You, er, alright, Luce?” Natsu asked, watching her face in the dark. The pale light coming from the window behind them was all Natsu needed to easily see in the room, but obviously from the unfocused expression she wore it wasn’t enough for Lucy.

“I’m fine Natsu. Just... don’t like thunder.” Lucy tried to brush off, but another loud crack of thunder sent her head burrowing into Natsu’s chest in fear.

“I think it’s more than a little dislike there, Luce.” Natsu commented dryly, tightening his arm around her and pulling her closer as he spoke.

“Oh shut up.” Lucy exhaled, hand relaxing as she bickered with Natsu. He grinned to himself, proud his plan had worked. He tensed as he sensed the change in the atmosphere, squeezing Lucy tight as a flash of lightning lit up the room, quickly followed by the booming thunder. Natsu looked over her face, tracing the tired pinching and tenseness she held on her face, thinking she was concealed by the dark.

Natsu ran his hand down her ribs, smirking when it got the desired squeak from Lucy. “Oh, are ya ticklish?” He purred, knowing fully well that she was indeed ticklish. Lucy tried to squirm out of his hold, cursing and threatening Natsu with denial to her kitchen as she did so. Natsu ignored her, the pair wrestling on the couch as Natsu attacked her ribs, large peaks of laughter and screams filling the dark room. They stopped when Natsu caught the scent of salt, and underneath that the light scent of Lucy's happiness. Everyone smelt different with different emotions, and a happy Lucy reminded Natsu of a field at dawn.

Natsu hummed happily when Lucy laid her head in the crook of his shoulder, wiping her face on his vest. The pair had ended up with Natsu on his back and Lucy tucked between his body and the back of her couch. The storm carried on around them, rain heavy on the roof and flashes punctuating the darkness outside, but Lucy seemed more relaxed now. Hidden from the world, her and Natsu escaping to their little universe for the moment.

Wow, Natsu needed to stop reading her writing so often, it had started to affect his brain with her weirdness. But then how would he find out what happened to the Dragon’s son?

“Hey Natsu?” Lucy whispered, her breath fanning over the skin of his shoulder, where both his vest and scarf failed to cover him. Natsu hummed in his throat in response, shifting with Lucy as she settled deeper against him. “Thank you.”

“For what Luce?” He asked, pausing his absent-minded stroking of her arm with his thumb.

“For helping me, for not making fun of me for being scared of a stupid storm. For being you.” Lucy whispered, nose pressed tight against Natsu's neck. He became hyper aware of how her curves moulded against his body so perfectly, the feeling of her heart beat calling his own pulse to match. Her breath tickled Natsu's skin, goosebumps causing a gentle shiver to run through his body. He swallowed thickly, suddenly unsure of himself.

“You're my best friend Luce. I don't like seeing ya afraid of anything.” His voice sounded rough, Natsu cringing at how close his words sounded to his thoughts. “‘Sides, I'll make fun of ya later when the storms passed.”

Lucy huffed a small laugh, hand curling into a fist on his bare stomach. She saw right through him, something only Happy had been able to do, and Lisanna briefly before. But not Lucy. No, it had taken her a week at most after meeting him to start to understand him. Maybe because she was the only one who had ever really tried to.

Natsu said nothing when he felt her shift, one hand lowering and resting on her knee, leg slung over his like he had seen her do to pillows in her sleep. Another shock of thunder rang outside, but Lucy barely flinched. Her breathing had slowed to match Natsu's, steady inhale with a slow and long exhale. Natsu let his face fall against the crown of her head, greedy as he took in her honey and vanilla scent. They would have to take a job soon, Lucy's expensive soaps and shampoos almost emptied.

On the bright side, Happy's fur was full and luscious now.

The peace lulled over him, Lucy's calm heartbeat pulling him to sleep and the rain a gentle backdrop despite its angry sounds as it hit the roof. But Natsu didn't want to sleep yet. Didn't want to miss time that he held Lucy in his arms for no other reason than to hold her.

“Hey Luce?” Natsu whispered, grinning as her small mewl in return. Her face turned more into the nook of his shoulder, nose pressed against his scarf as a pillow. “I can't feel my legs.”

“Oh shut up, you ass,” Lucy grumbled, fully awake. She moved over so more of her weight was pressed to Natsu's hips, her entire body eventually laying on top of his as she got comfortable again. “How about now?” She asked, smug lit making Natsu bite back a laugh. As if she didn't know he could lift her with one hand.

“Now I have a blanket!” He crowed, wrapping his arms around Lucy and trapping him against her. Her loud laugh and squeals as she half struggled in his arms sounded like the sweetest bells he had ever heard, pure joy and warmth washing over him from her.

“Well I have a space heater then.” Lucy countered, giving up her attempts at escape and snaking her arms between his back and the sofa cushion, legs falling between his spread ones and body curling into his.

“Just usin’ me for my body, eh?” Natsu teased, rolling his eyes at her exaggerated nod and hum in agreement.

“I have to admit,” Lucy said softly, Natsu barely able to hear her above the rain on the roof, “it is a very nice body.”

Natsu froze under her, mind crashing as he struggled to come up with a reason Lucy would say something like that. He made a gurgling sound when he couldn't find one.

“Natsu?” Lucy called, voice unsure and soft. Natsu hugged her tighter as he tried to swallow, mouth suddenly dry and his tongue feeling too big for his mouth.

“Uhh,” was all he managed to say, and he cringed inwardly. Yeah, that was so articulate, just like how Lucy would spend long walks on their missions describing her perfect man. She'd try and get Natsu to describe his perfect girl -or boy she added quickly, who was Lucy to limit him?- but Natsu had always brushed her questions aside, saying he didn't need any stupid romance or love when he had Fairy Tail and monsters to fight.

“Is that okay?” She asked, voice less unsure but still not what Natsu would call confident.

“Uhhuhh,” Natsu said again, biting his tongue sharply. She giggled at his noises, Natsu relaxing a bit despite his face feeling like it was on fire. “I, uh, like your body too.” Natsu said, scratching at his temple as he spoke. Was it too much? To admit something like that in the dark as he held her?

“With how much you grope me I should hope so.” Lucy said dryly.

“Oi!” Natsu squawked. “It ain’t like I try to do that shit! It just kinda... happens.” Natsu pouted. He really didn’t mean to touch her boobs and shit. He knew how uncomfortable it made her, and so Natsu tried his best to avoid it. But when a half naked best friend gets thrown at you, you’re going to try and cushion her fall. It was just that Natsu always seemed to end up with a handful and a red handprint on his face for his troubles.

Lucy always bought him double meals though, as way of apology, so he didn’t mind too much.

Lucy’s light chuckles made him relax, and a sudden desire took over Natsu. For the first time he could remember, he wanted to touch Lucy like that. He froze, unsure if this new realization meant he was overstepping a line just by holding her. What if she didn’t feel the same? What if what she loved most about being his best friend is that he wasn’t constantly chasing her like all the other guys?

“Natsu?” Lucy asked, worry in her voice making him sink deeper into despair. Here she was being concerned for him as he was debating if he was being a pervert by even cuddling her.

“Lucy,” Natsu asked, mind screaming for him to stop talking but his mouth not listening,  “Can I touch you?”

“What?” Lucy asked. Natsu closed his eyes at her voice crack. Gods he’d gone and fucked everything up. “Why do you- I mean- what?”

Natsu whined and snatched his hands from off her back, covering his face with his scarf. He wondered if facing the rain was really that bad. A boom of thunder crashed overhead and Natsu struck that idea. He wouldn’t leave Lucy alone to brave the storm.

“Natsu, why are you asking for permission all of a sudden? You have literally never considered my personal space before, so why now?”

“I dunno,” Natsu mumbled through the scarf. At least Lucy mainly sounded confused, and a bit embarrassed. Not angry or repulsed. So Natsu was already ahead of the game in his mind.

“Is me touching ya bad?” He asked instead of letting it drop. Maybe it was the dark around them, the safety of knowing that Lucy couldn’t peer into his soul and figure him out that let Natsu speak his mind. Or maybe he’d just gone completely weird like her.

Lucy stayed quiet for several long seconds, blindly reaching for Natsu’s hands before leading them back to where they had sat on the small of her back. “No Natsu, it’s not bad. I like how close we are. The casual touches and the way you drape yourself over me or just pick me up and drag me along on whatever crazy scheme you’ve come up with. All of it. It makes me feel safe and like I’m home.”

Natsu swallowed thickly, letting his hands run along Lucy’s spine as the heavy quiet of the rain and darkness of the room fell over them once more. Lucy shivered lightly under his touches, and something whispered far back in Natsu’s brain that they weren’t bad shivers. Fuck.

“I feel the same.” He rasped, staring blankly at the ceiling as Lucy laid her head soundly on his chest, arms squeezing him tightly and knees tucking under his thigh.

“Good.” Lucy whispered. Natsu let some magic seep into his hands, warming them as he continued to rub her back in slow strokes, letting his fingertips follow the ridges of bone along her spine or gently graze the dimples that let him know he was pushing how far south he could go. Neither of them were ready for that yet.

But Natsu had hope now that one day, they might be. And even better, they might be ready to acknowledge what they meant to each other. Right now though, under the rain and as Natsu held Lucy in his arms, this was enough. He smiled.

It was definitely enough.

“Lonely River”

“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” — Maya Angelou Wow. I set up the Twitter page on 15th October 2016, but two years ago today (22nd October) I officially founded, ThisAbility – Inclusively, daringly forwards, my business after feeling frustrated and alone in the creative industries. How beautiful, and it means something special to me to have founded my organisation during Black History Month here in the UK! I couldn’t have pushed forward to today without my family and a few extraordinary friends. You know who you are.

It hasn’t been easy. My health that has been bad this year, a daily severely deteriorating body living because of a rare neuromuscular condition that has 657 muscles progessively dying on me, and running this business entirely myself without a co-founder or anyone. There has been so much that has happened in the past two years, and I wanted to achieve more, but I’m still here and still going. I am happy where I am now I am learning to trust myself, to be kind to myself, and to love myself wholeheartedly no matter what. I am stepping out of normality and growing through discomfort every day, primarily through my business ThisAbility. I am happy with what I am striving toward. Initially, I was a “network supporting and celebrating creative disabled talent” but over the past year or so I have felt this wasn’t me and felt the pressure to be the version of my business others wanted. I have decided to be the change on my own terms. As Kyan sings: “I got a river in me…” I have decided not to go with the flow and never be afraid of change or evolving failure nor growth. I have decided never to be scared to evoke nor create, agitate, educate. I am going to be who I needed when I was younger.

I am going to build my business into my legacy that sustainably, effectively, productively, and positively outlives (and is more significant than) myself to leave the world in a better place. Enriching, educating, transformational. I am going to be part of the “New Definition Of Billionaire” as defined by Jason Silva: Someone who positively affects the lives of a billion people. And I am going to, as my shero, Cindy Gallop, eloquently says: “… make an absolute goddamn fucking shit-ton of money.”

In light of this, on 29 February (rare disease day) I registered my business into an official limited company, and I can fully now announce that three months ago I decided to evolve my business into an equity consultancy rather than a “network.”

Nope, not an equality consultancy. Yes, an equity consultancy. The definition of equity as in equitability characterised by equity or fairness; just and right; fair; reasonable: equitable treatment of all citizens.

This best defined who I wanted my business ThisAbility to be, although there are still immense, daily struggles as a disabled entrepreneur. For example, THIS is a fascinating read from The Independent from last week states that “there is a record number of disabled entrepreneurs in the UK…” but out of necessity, not progress. As a Southeast Asian, feminist, creative, disabled entrepreneur of my business ThisAbility, I can really relate to this article, and I find it extremely challenging every single day to get the support I need anywhere to build (and grow and sustain) my business. Not only am I trying to develop, to grow, and to sustain a BUSINESS (NOT a charity nor a recruiter) entirely myself but I also have to put up with what people expect me and my business to be to fit into their narratives daily. Also, I have to deal with everyday ableism and society's desire to do things “for” me instead of “with” me. This thread on Twitter from today highlights what I mean so emotively. However, those of you who know me well will know that nothing or no one will stop me from getting to my goals and continue working tirelessly to destabilise the accepted narratives of creativity and disability, as well as support creative disabled talent to change the culture to make equity the default. “Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it's produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.” – Ken Robinson Despite getting numerous accolades this year (including Campaign’s Top 10 Trailblazers for Change in 2017, BIMA 100 “Champion for Good” Class of 2018, 2018 WINNER: DIMA 50 Male Advocate for Equality in Marketing & Media, and The Dots and Squarespace’s 100 Creative Leaders With Social Heart), it never about awards to me. Yes, they help for recognition, but I’m more interested in effectiveness (rather than useless noise) and genuine emphatic (tangible) action. June Sarpong best writes in her book #Diversify: “Create a new normal that is equitable, diverse, and prosperous…” I am learning more and more that I can only do this if I look after myself wholeheartedly. I am learning to respect myself and ensure others do the same, as I know my (financial and social) value/worth in the world. The image below via @TheGoodQuote on Instagram I recent saw illustrates how I’ve been thinking and want to reset myself to excellently:

“Be generous with your love but careful with your heart.” I love this. So much I want to write about this and my life right now, but I’m just pushing forward, positively. Quietly. Growing through discomfort. Being bold, being wild, being fearless. Working hard. Being patient. Being kind and nice. Being generous with my love. Always. Because greatness and good things are coming my way. WE GOT THIS! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 And I'm blessed to be surrounded by so many incredible entrepreneurs including Arlan Hamilton, Pip Jamieson, Tolu Farinto, and Mark van der Heijden who inspire me every day to keep going and celebrate my authentic self.

This quote sums up how I'm currently feeling, as my friend Marie Reig best says: “My true potential is unknown.”

MARIE SAYS:

“This image is from an interactive talk in London I did in April 2018; right at this moment, we are burning prejudices, negative thoughts, assumptions and limiting self-image preconceptions with our imagination and energy field.”

Let's go! 🔥

Watch this space.

2017-11(NOV)-17th-morning.

2017-11(NOV)-17th-morning.

I wish this had have been me......

NEWS:-- http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-11-16/worker-at-northam-races-struck-by-lightning/9159582

--------------------------------------------------------

Last night around 10pm, at this hellhole area there were barefoot abo kids on the roads, including a barefoot todder only in a diaper ON the road in the darkness, and they were 'playing on the roads' and watching the lightning, the same lightning activity that killed that guy above, and it's the first batch that is supposed to come thru with thunderstorms and some rain...maybe....says the unreliable crystal ball weather department forecasts.

There was rain water sprinkled on Fliss's car this morning. There was so little amount of water though than NONE of it ran down. All it did was pool-up the dust and shit on the surfaces into concentrated blobs of acid that will rot the new car just as it rotted the last one to its death.

--------------------------------------------------------

I overdosed Max.

--------------------------------------------------------

Last night, it was impossible to sleep. I actually went to bed early but poor Sam & Max woke me up and wanted to go outside. It may very well have been the crimial abo's making noise and shit in the streets.

Or it may very well have been the other criminal abo's in the next suburb next to this hellhole area who also let their cats freely roam free and shit all over the place. Ever wonder why there's no birds around this hellhole anymore like there used to be, and why the ones that do come around are so flighty and agitated and stay short periods only to shit all over the place, and on the car to help rot it away, and they do all that because feral cats are constantly maurauding around killing the birds day and night including native Australian birds. I've had to clean up SO many bird bodies that have been killed by feral cats. - Nobody cares.

And guess who owns the cats and doesn't care about letting them kill all the birds? Including Australian endangered birds at the risk of total extinction? - Yep, it's the SAME ones.

They actually go walking along the streets to the Koongamia shops and lead their cats to follow them, and the cats invade householders yards. (and shit all over in them) They get trained to do this. They kill birds in trees to pass the time (just like their 'owners' do) , and they kill birds for fun (just like their human owners do), and that is why Australian birds are dying so much around this hellhole area whereas before they were plentiful and Fliss and I used to feed them out of our own pockets and enjoy the wildlife. The birds considered us friends and would flock to us.

And the 'owners' of the feral cats don't give a shit about their cats. They think it's normal to have cats that go elsewhere to shit in other peoples yards and bring disease and poison everywhere, and to upset all the dogs in the neighborhoods.

And they don't care about dogs either.

Yesterday, as the abo's were out on the streets, they had their unleashed dog(s) roaming the streets with them.

People may wonder why they might never hardly see these criminals during the 'day', it's because they're asleep or hiding out, from being up all night and doing shit and crime. -- And so the criminal kids are learning their lessons well.

Oh, and should I mention that none of them went to school nor do they. - It's 'traditional' and their 'heritage' you see not to go to any school, just like it is to get drunk and take illegal drugs. - It'll be Xmas 'school holidays period' soon, and they'll use THAT as an excuse as to why they're roaming all about. They use that all the time even now. And they have done so for countless years.

The adults don't care at all. They're the adult version of these fuckers. And if one of the criminal kids dies or is killed, they just make several more. - To the abo criminals of this hellhole area, there s no such thing as 'sustainability' or 'conservation' and especially not having a sustainable number in their 'family' which always grows to numbers of criminals they try to keep from anyone knowing about....not when they get thrown out of one area and move into another to create another ghetto, and get paid by the government for free for being criminals and forever making and spawning more criminals.

--------------------------------------------------------

False calm.

As I keep saying, there's 'lulls' sometimes in the constant criminal activity of this hellhole.

And it lasts until the next massive eruption, when Western Australian Police are called in and IF the Police deign to arrive and deal with the situation for the billionth time AGAIN, it thereafter quickly involves all the nameless departmentals and mysterious anonymous vehicles visiting the criminals households to help cover up everything AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN......

I wonder if the local school or Koongamia shops were criminally broken into over the past few days? - Or is that being saved up to occur over the next few days? - Or is it going to be innocent peoples homes they again do crime upon?

Sometimes for fun I look to see if there's any unmarked West Australian Police cars roaming about, and generally I spot them. And quite often they're also spotted by the criminals who abate their criminality and shit util the think the cops have gone away.

Usually something occurs then.

Police will rush in, often secretly with unmarked Police vehicles but with Police in uniform, and they'll call in marked Police cars to assist them if they feel frightened enough, which has been getting progessively more common now because the criminals of this hellhole are so bad and always getting worse.

And so....false calm ......for now.

--------------------------------------------------------

I only got a few hours of terribly broken sleep. Too damned hot and humid. Although the humidty was dying away (how apt a term for myself), the heat was still there and this hovel has become hot and stayed hot.

Even now I'm trying to cool it down at since 8am.

Both poor Sam and poor Max are slumped upon the floors by any fan they feel more cool around. But they constantly get up and move to another place. It's extremely difficult to move around this tiny hovel because they are laying in the darkness everywhere are are so utterly worn out all the time that they never move, nor should they, whenever a person comes near them. Otherwise they 'learn' to leap up in total panic and that's worse as they scramble about trying to get to their feet. And they are such huge and massively solid dogs now that they can easily smash you to the floor.

They are incredibly stressed because we are not with dear Fliss.

But don't listen to me. Nobody does. Nobody cares.

I long for death.

--------------------------------------------------------

In a lot of pain.

And for that I am blamed too.

I long for death.

--------------------------------------------------------

I love you dear Fliss. So does poor Sam & poor Max. - We are in HELL. I hope you are happy.
