#don't want no JD interference

[rollinsland]

I want Jey to win his match Monday night!! He deserves a victory

[madhatterbri]

Business | D.P.

Summary: You and Damian cut a promo after he allows JD to take a beating.

Damian didn't bother helping JD while Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens tag teamed him in the ring. He was expressly told to stay out of Judgement Day business. He watched on the Jumbotron as the two Canadian wrestlers took out their frustrations on him. Damian felt jealous. Maybe he could get the chance to whoop JD one day.

He went behind the curtain and sat in the back. His Money In The Bank suitcase placed next to him. His arm perched on the suitcase. He knew the mess he got himself into by allowing JD to be attacked despite the fact that he helped Priest get the win.

He and Finn were already not seeing eye to eye. Ever since Senor Money in the Bank won the case times were tough. Rhea was now a champion along with Dom Mysterio. It seemed that the Judgement Day ran their course and he needed to run along too.

The last person he expected to get in his face was his girlfriend. You stomped towards him with an angry expression on his face.

"Mi amor," he smiled and widened his arms for a hug. Despite your angry face you must be here to congratulate him on beating Sami Zayn.

"Mi amor, nada. How could you do that to Finn's friend?" You asked. You raised your hands in frustration. He loved seeing you so riled up. Your face flushed in anger. The intensity in your eyes when you were headstrong in what you believed in.

"He's getting into family business. There are only five of us in Judgement Day. You, me, Finn, Rhea, and Dom. I don't appreciate the outside interference from someone not in our family," he spoke so calmly. You weren't sure when he stopped wanting help to finish matches. Judgement Day was all about outside interference.

"JD is a friend of Judgement Day. Finn, Rhea, Dom, and I trust him. He went out to help you. Your attitude is going to push Finn further away. You have to apogize," you urged.

"Attitude? Apologize?" Damian asked with a laugh. He stood up from his seat and stared down at you. You looked up at him. "Finn and his boy need to apologize for staying in my business,"

"You are making the Judgement Day look weak by allowing these idiots to think we are fractured. A house divided will fall. These people on this roster are chomping at the thought to bring us down," you warned him.

"Factions rise and fall in this business, mi amor. If the Judgement Day fails, it wasn't because of Senor Money in the Bank," he assured you. He slapped his case and walked away. You cross your arms and glare behind his back.

Out of the Zone (a Trolls fanfic)

Summary: A glimpse of BroZone’s final moments together

__________________________________________

"Why are you acting like this?" The question came out in a combination of frustration and exasperation, the teal Trolling in sunglasses who had uttered it flinging his arms out at his brothers. To him, they were being entirely unreasonable out of nowhere. To the others, this was not the case. "Because I'm tired of it, JD!" Spruce exclaimed. "You're always mentioning that you're the leader - " "Uh, that's because I am," John Dory cut in. He shut his mouth when Spruce held up a finger. "SHH! I'm not finished," the purple Trolling said harshly. "Like I said, you're always mentioning that you're the leader. Well, you know what? A 'leader' listens. A 'leader' lets the group make decisions to-ge-ther." He enunciated each syllable of the last word. "You're just one Troll, and you're not the boss of everything!" "Yeah?" JD said, getting annoyed. "Well, someone has to be the boss. Somebody's gotta remind you guys why we're in this band. Somebody's gotta show you the ropes!" "Yeah, well, if ya ask me, you're showing us more of your uptightropes," Clay said, snickering at his own joke and nudging Spruce so that he could laugh along with him. The purple Trolling did not find the joke funny, however, and whirled on the yellow Trolling. "You pick the worst times to joke about stuff, you know?" he grumbled. "Can't you take something serious for once?" Clay frowned, not appreciating his dismissal. "Wow, okay. As if you're Mr. Perfect. The guy who's more concerned about what girl's heart he's gonna break next!" Spruce glared at him. "No, I'm the guy who's more concerned about what the future of our band is. Maybe if you're not so busy with your silly pranks and actually got your head in the game, you'd see that!" Clay shook his head and crossed his arms, not liking how his usually chill brother was behaving. "Like you haven't laughed at some of them," he muttered, making note to get back at Spruce with one of his so-called 'silly pranks.' Unable to help himself, Floyd spoke up. "Well, some of them aren't really that funny. I hated that time you did what you did with my eyeliner." The magenta Troll shuddered to even recollect the horrible, bright neon green that had been on his eyelids. Clay rolled his eyes. "Whatever! It was funny to me. And as long as it's funny to someone is what counts." JD ignored the little scuffle between the Trollings, wanting to get clarification. "Why is it that you're backing out of the dream, bro?" "Dude, he never said that," Floyd piped up, trying to show support. It wasn't met positively however. "I can answer my own questions, thanks," Spruce said, a little annoyed at his brother's interference. "I'm just trying to help," Floyd said. "Well it's best you don't," Spruce snapped.

Floyd frowned. "This involves me just as much as you guys. I write a lot of the songs here, in case you forgot! Like you always like to forget about me," he said spitefully and crossing his arms. "Just because you're older doesn't mean you can think that you're better!"

"We don't think we're better," Clay said, "we know we're better!" Not at all meaning it, he laughed, hoping Floyd would laugh at this joke too, but the magenta Trolling shot him a dirty look. Clay rolled his eyes. When did his brothers become such party-poopers?

"Cry me a river, Floyd! You seem to be real good at that, too!" JD snapped, annoyed. "And if you're talking about that one song you showed me the other day, I already told ya we can't do it. Not all of us have that vocal range!"

"You mean you don't have that vocal range," Floyd muttered, knowing very well that he could hit the required notes, and knowing that JD likely didn’t want to feel like he was being upstaged.

"What does it matter if we're all singing songs and everyone likes them, anyway?" JD challenged. "As long as my band is popular, why does it really matter?" Spruce gawked at him. "YOUR band, huh?" The purple Trolling shook his head. "I knew it." "I mean our band, ours!" JD quickly tried to correct himself. "OURS. Geez, Spruce, I thought Floyd was the sensitive one here!"

"It has nothing to do with being sensitive," Spruce said. "It has to with the fact that I feel like I can't trust you anymore, JD!" he blurted before he could help himself. He instantly regretted it, however, noting how crushed the aquamarine Trolling looked as a result of his words. It felt like a harsh thing to say. But, the more he thought about it, the more the regret began to dwindle away. This really was the way that Spruce felt, and seeing that Clay and Floyd were not quick to jump in and protest, he knew that they likely felt the same way, too.

"Actions speak louder than words do, JD," Spruce said. "And so far, you've been doing a lot of talk and not coming through with any of the promises you've said."

JD swallowed, thinking hard. Had he... had he really been as blind to his brothers as Spruce was making it seem?

NO! His conscience nearly screamed at him. You're doing what is best for the band. And if Spruce, and Clay, and Floyd can't see that, well, then... then...

JD's face hardened. "All right then. Problem solved." He clapped his hands together once and plastered an insincere smile on his face. "I'm going to be removing myself from the equation, then. I say it's about time the world gets introduced to John Dory, the solo artist, anyhow, without anyone else holding me back. Don't you think?"

A part of Spruce wanted to stop his brother's train of thought. He did not like where the situation was heading, but at the same time the purple Trolling was angry. It wasn't an emotion he usually felt, his demeanor usually that of good vibes, but even he had his limits. This was one of those times that it couldn't be helped. He really had had enough of JD's controlling ways. And right now, he wasn't about to move over to stop his brother – his closest brother in bond amongst the bunch, admittedly – from walking out the door that he was making his way towards. "Agreed," he simply said. He knew the anger he felt would go away eventually. He wasn't the kind to hold much of a grudge, and perhaps one day he might even be happy to see JD again. But he also knew that it would likely not be for a long, long time.

JD glared at Spruce, his hard gaze drifting over to Clay and Floyd, too. He shook his head, that small part of him not really wanting to leave. But they had a lesson to learn. "Who knows," he said, his anger getting the best of him. "Maybe I'll even find better brothers than you guys."

"So you can treat them the same way you've been treating us?" Spruce asked, but JD didn't hear. The aquamarine Troll was already gone, sunglasses, teal vest and all.

A silence hung in the air for a moment.

Then, Floyd spoke.

"Guys, we can still make this work out," he said, hopefully, peering at his brothers. "Look, we can maybe be a quartet until JD decides to come back, and then we can be BroZone again, right?"

Clay scoffed. "And I thought I was the funny one," he muttered, starting to walk off.

"Yeah, who put you in charge now?" Spruce said, frowning at the magenta Trolling.

"I'm not trying to be in charge," Floyd said defensively. "I just don't want things to end like this for us." He sighed and rubbed an arm, unable to look his brother in the eyes.

Something flashed across Spruce's face. Perhaps regret? Floyd couldn't be sure, as it was gone the very next second and the purple Trolling frowned. "Cut the sap, Floyd. Can't you see it's over? Save your breath for your solo career."

With that, Spruce rolled his eyes and waved a dismissive hand at them as he walked off, muttering something under his breath about needing a vacation as he too walked out the door. Left alone in the silent pod were only Floyd and Branch now.

Branch had so far been a silent witness to everything, standing to the side and hovering by the magenta Trolling's legs. The baby stared wide-eyed after Clay and Spruce, not quite understanding things completely but knowing something was very, very wrong. Why were his brothers leaving? Why weren't they singing and dancing and hugging like they all usually did? Distress starting to prick at him, Branch peered up at Floyd, confiding in the magenta Trolling for some kind of answer.

Floyd stared down pitifully at his baby brother for a long moment and then sighed. "Branch," he began, trying to sound as gentle as he possibly could. "We're... out of sync."

Branch cocked his head, as if to say "Huh?"

Floyd nodded slowly. "You see, we've gone from boys to men, and now there's only one direction for us to go." He gestured out the front door. "The backstreets."

Branch blinked at him. What was Floyd talking about? Branch knew Floyd was poetic, but he wished that his brother wasn't talking in these confusing riddles right now.

Floyd seemed to get this vibe off of the little one and he kneeled down, putting a hand on his small blue shoulder. "It's time for us all to move on, Branch."

Branch whimpered at this, and Floyd patted him on the back. "I know it sounds a little scary. But it's really not. We all have to move on sometime. You'll understand someday." With that he stood up and began to make his way over to the door. But suddenly, he paused. The magenta Trolling then whirled around and knelt at Branch again, scooping the baby into a tight hug. Branch liked hugs from his brothers, but this one was a different kind of hug. He didn't know what exactly it was that made it different, but Floyd did, and it was tearing the magenta Trolling's heart apart. This was a goodbye hug.

"I'm going to miss you," Floyd whispered, his voice on the verge of breaking and the familiar sting of tears starting to pool in his eyes. "Please don't forget me." He held on a moment longer, his grip tightening slightly before it finally went slack and he released the baby. Then he shuffled off and began to move to the door. Branch began to toddle after him, but Floyd put a hand up and shook his head. "No, Branch. You have to stay. Someone has to be the man of the house." He forced a chuckle, but wasn't really feeling all that into it. "Take care of Grandma for us, okay?"

Branch glanced worriedly up at his brother, but did not put force any resistance. He stepped back, watching as Floyd shot him one last sad smile and then turned to leave.

It was only after he'd made sure that the pod was far behind him that Floyd allowed his tears to fall.

A/N: I think there were multiple factors at play when it came to BroZone’s disbanding. This is just my wild guess 🤷

[writing-now-andthen]

As a trans guy myself, i just get so happy reading your trans masc JD HC. Feeling affirmed and consequently revenged when someone tries to bother you by calling you gay is such a mood, like "hell yeah i am a fag! And you're an asshole, are we done stating facts?". Could you write something about JD and a trans masc reader this time?

Letssgoletssgo

JD x trans masc reader hcs

JD typical everything, use of dyke, swearing

I believe there's three things you could do to make JD 'leave' you:

1. Tell him you don't love him

2. Interfere with his killing

3. Get boring. Mundane.

Otherwise he'll love his boyfriend for... How ever long he stays alive

He'll kill anyone you want or even don't want but trust him he knows what's best

You're a match if you have the same fire that burns in him, the one he would let devour him in his pursuit to see society burn

I mean he won't say it like that, wouldn't want to freak you out

Unless he's sure that you think like him or you're going to be permanently separated... For whatever reason

You've heard an assortment of slurs... Dykes probably the worst in terms of accuracy

So odd how you start seeing JD and any shit you got tapers off...

So crazy how you'd never catch anyone admitting they're scared of him

Or maybe it's that the people with reason to be scared are dead

T4T

Be trans do crimes

He's very chill- well okay no JD's not chill but he is about your transness he doesn't act like it's a big deal and rarely brings it up

If you talk about being trans be careful with your words if it sounds like someone made you dysphoric or upset you he'll kill them

He won't act like that's what's going to happen in the moment but it is

This was rlly short so very sorry I'm trying to pump out whatever I have now because I'm no longer taking requests/writing for Jason Dean

[powerpolyculeshowdown]

wow that ORV ask. to be real, hsy and ysa ship is a great ship but some people only do it because hsy gets in the way of joongdok and they have to put her in the token wlw pairing to justify not having her interfere. She MADE yjh for KDJ for Christs sake. Kdj is the one beloved by all because she made the world to love him. Orv exists because HSY loved them 💜 you can like jd and not rag on yhk like goddamn

i appreciate everyone standing up to defend this character, but i do want to point out once again idk if they were being hateful. sometimes we phrase things in a way that sounds angrier than we meant, so i want to give them the benefit of the doubt, and ask that ppl dont get too mad

i totally get it tho, its very common with polyships to have people who are strongly against it which is frustrating. i think there could be validity to shipping hsy w another woman, we don't know if the asker was only doing it as a token wlw ship but i can see why you feel that way.

im w that person who expanded it to 5 maybe 7 or 8 ppl in the polycule thats galaxy brained tbh

[angelofthepage]

-pats my legs-

So it occurs to me I haven't told you guys about my Guardian AU, and I wanna change that. Because boy is Susie Campbell on my mind today, and I wanna talk about my very Susie-centric AU.

So there are these creatures called Guardians, and they aren't really known by the public. They live amongst humanity in secret, doing small magical things to protect them and improve their lives. Henry, Wally, and Norman are all Guardians, and each one protects a different aspect of humanity within the studio, unbeknownst to anyone there. Everyone thinks they're just normal guys doing normal animation studio things.

Henry is a protector of creativity and dreams. His type of guardian can create creatures called dream eaters, which, as the name implies, are responsible for eating nightmares and helping humanity stay hopeful in their aspirations. Normally dream eaters don't last that long, they exist for a day, maybe a week or two, before they disappear into nothing. But not Henry's. Henry has three that he keeps by his side, unable to be seen or heard by humans, but they exist beside him: Bendy, Boris, and Alice. And they've been alive long enough that Henry is attached, and all of them have gained a lot in the way of thought and desires of their own.

Henry has told Bendy for a long time not to go and talk to Joey. While Henry cares a great deal for Joey, Joey will often get himself into trouble with dark magic, wanting to improve the studio, dabbling in things he shouldn't, and Henry is the only one that manages to keep him in check. Bendy however is tired of being told no, growing resentful and wanting more out of life, as well as better portrayal in the cartoons that are all about him. So he disobeys and joins forces with Joey, and it's a disaster. Henry finds himself stripped of his guardian status so he can't interfere, now mortal and powerless as Bendy and Joey have ripped his power from him. With nowhere to go, the magic that's integral to Henry's being ricochets through the studio and ends up in, you guessed it, the hands of Susie Campbell.

Susie is unnerved and surprised to find a real version of Alice talking to her and begging her for help. With Bendy gone rogue and Henry out of commission, the responsibility of caring for the people of the studio falls on her. And with Bendy and Joey now exerting their will over everyone without repercussions, it's a scary time for everyone at JDS. She is reluctant, afraid of this unknown magic and what she's been asked to do. But knowing the people she cares for are in danger if she doesn't act, she steps up to the plate to help. She struggles to learn how Henry's guardian powers work at first, but over time she gets a hang of it, keeping her fellow artists from burning themselves out and lifting their spirits in whatever way she can. The number of times she's kept Sammy alone from falling into darkness is astronomical. And in some ways, she finds a little magic of her own.

Meanwhile, Henry is struggling. Even though his magic is gone, that doesn't mean he's human. And with no glamour to keep his true otherworldly form hidden, he's constantly having to get creative to keep anyone from knowing what he truly is (Jack unknowingly helps him build an impressive hat collection to hide his horns). Likewise, Susie is struggling with a number of physical changes as her body adapts to this new magic, looking more like an angel than she ever bargained for. The longer she's bonded to it, the more likely it is to be permanent, which scares both of them.

Will they manage to get Bendy and Joey to release their supernatural grip on the studio? Will Henry perish, or will he be okay? Will Susie be able to set things right? Will Sammy Lawrence end up with voices in his head telling him to serve the ink? I mean I think we all know how that last one will go, this is me we're talking about. But EVERYTHING ELSE, we'll just have to wait and see!

WWE Summerslam 2022 - Quickfire Thoughts and Reaction

A new era has begun in WWE, Triple H is back in the creative chair and has promised some shakeups

While Raw and Smackdowns have taken place since, this is the first true event where the McMahon-Helmsley era of WWE ownership begins. Let's see how it goes

Spoilers for the PPV

Kickoff

I'll be honest, I didn't watch the Kickoff, I scrubbed through the video and since there were 0 matches again, I didn't bother.

Main Card

Ah they're still calling it a 'premium live event'?

Those sound like peppered boos from Becky and is that an Alundra Blayze-themed attire?

Commentary noting that Becky went through a full on losing streak only to win 2 matches and get a title shot does expose the poor booking choice though

Bianca doing a blue chaps attire for hometown Nashville

No quickfire squash for this one, thankfully

I also want to take this moment to say Fuck Kevin Dunn for attempting to derail Becky and others from getting tv time and pushes simply because he didn't get a hard on for them. This is meant to be a wrestling show, and Becky is beautiful anyway

Becky whipping out Diamond Dust now? Love seeing wrestlers whip out a new move

That Manhandle Slam sell was great too, completely folded

Super Spanish Fly and KOD wins it for Bianca. It was a good match, strong opener, not better than their Mania show stealer but that is a high bar

And a handshake hints at a face turn maybe? Would be overdue because the crowd reaction has always been strong for Becky even as a heel

But now Bayley is back! And she brought Io and Kota!!!

Trips making a statement; 3 big Black and Gold NXT names back (long overdue callups too because 2.0 was not working for them), women's opener and the hometown girl wins.

I will have to wonder though, because all 3 women deserve to be world champion and there's only 2 main roster titles, unless Trips intend to bring back Black and Gold. I guess they could reignite the women's tag titles but I feel like Trips would want Sasha and Naomi back as a priority

Ha, Logan Paul didn't get cheered even against Miz XD Didn't even get new attire

Camera is getting over the top again

Is, Paul selling the Figure Four he has locked in? He kept shooting back like he had been poked in the eye

Ciampa is about to get ejected (effectively by being caught on the apron) but refuses so AJ's music plays to blindside him

Table spot to try and pop the crowd, very Shane McMahon move

Maryse is caught on the apron: doesn't get ejected

Paul wins via Skull Crushing Finale from dodging being hit by a...polaroid? It was, fine, kinda by the numbers aside from two moonsaults, I don't care for it really

Didn't care for the Maximum Male Models ad put right in between a Brock and Reigns package...

No love for Theory, still

Ash yes, because nothing says USA like Leeds United FC

Briefcase attack pre-match for heat and to imply doubt

Match was pretty short really, Lashley missed the spear, so Theory tried to do a rolling Cutter but got Gorilla Pressed into the Hurt Lock. Didn't need to be there, but I guess tapping quickly is Theory's plan for staying fresh for the main event

Hmmm, more 2 day Manias, who was the one who didn't want it again?

I don't agree with Road Dogg on a lot of things, but I do agree that WWE book Rey as a terrible babyface; he never wins the feud even when it's personal, most of his wins involve interference or cheating and he approves matches like this knowing Rhea will get involved

Also McDonalds colours is not it guys

It's No DQ why are there still legal tags?

Rhea please you're too beautiful to make me pay attention to the match

Rey is 47 remember, he's still this good and deserves more. I hope before he retires (a sad day that'll be) he has a Liger-esque tour of dream matches across all promotions

Edgy Edge comes back mid-match, spearing the JDs to set up a 619 after Rhea thwarted it

Surprised but not mad that the Mysterios won, but it did feel like they were just props for Edge's return, the No DQ format was barely even used too

Owens will for sure benefit from Trips' booking

The Joker even showed up to Summerslam

Couldn't get Seven Nation Army again I see

Reminder that including this, McAfee has had only 2 more matches than Logan Paul and two happened on the same night

Ugh, Ref Bump leads to McAfee low blowing Corbin and then a Code Red

I must admit it still smarts me that there are full time wrestlers booked worse than a commentator

Drew came out to promote Clash at the Castle, it was a good promo tbf, Drew's a great Babyface

Can't do a PPV in an American Football stadium without using their cheerleaders

Those holograms were not in sync

Ha! 'You lose, you go to the bottom of the ladder' is one hell of a lie

The pop-up neckbreaker was a nice move

Tezzy don't do it

*sigh* Welp, Profits lost AGAIN, credit to Jarrett calling it down the middle but it does defeat the drama of having a special guest ref. Didn't get any post-match or heel turn either

So now I ask again, what do we do with the tag division? There's not a Babyface team out there that's able to beat the Usos now, Mysterios are feuding with JD with Edge and New Day are feuding with the Viking Raiders

And we're bringing Charlotte back with a package reminding how much WWE has overpushed her

That is 1000000 times less Kid Rock than I ever needed to see...

Riddle's here too calling out Seth despite not being cleared

Seth comes out, brawls and stomps Riddle before leaving, asking the question why?

Ronda's mascara job is another miss

Liv getting the bigger pop than Ronda still

What. Was That? Let's not ignore the fact that bell to bell that was 4 and a half minutes long, but this was basically Liv being squashed and having a dusty win by the fact that she tapped out (before 3 as well) while pinning Ronda who had her in an armbar just to spare Rousey's blushes

Was this really to turn Ronda heel? Attacking Liv and the Ref, because we made Liv look so damn weak for no reason but to keep Rousey looking strong. It's always the same kind of defeat with her too

Ugh, Mayor of Knox County

Really stretching their 'first time evers' by saying it's the first Last Man Standing Match of Summerslam

Start the main event with a promo, okay

Lesnar here with a tractor that apparently Roman never saw when coming down the ramp

Judy Bagwell thanking her lucky stars she isn't on that thing, but it reminds me of Lesnar vs Big Show's stretcher match, right down to diving off the vehicle

This was just a squash trade to start, Brock beat down Roman using the steps and barricade, then Roman beat down Brock with table bumps, then Brock beats down Roman with steps and the table fragments

After dropping him out of a tractor, Brock beat him down some more, Reigns got the Guillotine but then Brock got the Kimura, since Reigns got up he upends the entire ring with the tractor

Usos finally get involved, Heyman takes a table bump and Brock gets speared

And out comes Theory...he hits Roman with the briefcase but then gets F-5'd

Brock survives a double superkick and gets speared again, survives that so Roman beats him with the briefcase, survives some more, belt shot, survives again...this isn't dramatic

Hey now you can't start a count while the guy is still being attacked, that's a rule of the match, another belt shot and the bloodline bury Brock under furniture to 'win'

Chaotic? Yes, Good? Not sure about it, don't think I was captivated by it, just felt like they were doing big spots for the sake of it

Theory's still MITB holder too don't forget about that

Conclusion

So, Summerslam. Triple H's new vision looks to have some foundation, but it needs work still.

The opener was great, we've set up a new faction full of incredibly talented women, one I hope will be a cross-brand faction so all three can have their touch of gold (admittedly I would've brought Bayley to confront Liv rather than Bianca because SD's women's division is the one lacking depth). We also have Becky turning face which is overdue.

Despite this though, the rest of the show was fine to baffling. Don't care for Paul so the match weren't for me, Lashley match didn't need to be there either, the Mysterios got a surprise win because Edge came back (I guess Rhea vs Bianca will have to wait) which is kinda nice but also, Rey's first main card PPV win since May 2021 (if you include kickoff show then it's first since February) is due to interference, we celebrated 20 years since his debut this week. I guess Pat winning was fine too.

But the rest of the card is just muddled; Tag division is a mess, we shorthanded the SD Women's championship match to 4 and a half minutes (reminder that AEW's women's division got flack for having a 10 minute women's title match with a challenger who had beaten the champion earlier) and our finale was a mess.

Overall, good start but shoddy booking petered the show out, there's some positives to take but a lot of negatives still present from the old era. Rome, however, was not built in a day.

Results and Predictions

Street Profits - Pinfall on Dawkins by Jimmy via 1-D Liv Morgan (c) def.? Ronda Rousey - Pinfall* [*Liv tapped to Ronda's Armbar before 3 but ref didn't see] Roman Reigns (c) (w/The Usos & Paul Heyman) def. Brock Lesnar - Lesnar does not answer the 10 count

[blackpoolcombatwriter]

What do you think of Dom Dom winning the NA title?

I think it means Dom has a huge challenge in front of him, but every time he's been given a challenge, he's succeeded. First it was how would he do in his first match, then his first solo match. Then it was how would he do away from his father and as a heel. So far I think he's exceeding expectation on that.

I'm disappointed that Wes Lee's amazing run is over, especially in the way it ended. Wes was having bangers every single time he stepped into the ring and I was really looking forward to Wes vs Mustafa. The pressure will be on for Dom to be able to maintain the level of wrestling the NA title has become known for with Wes and Melo before him. What I don't want to see are matches where the JD always interfere. I expect it once in a while because they're heels but they gotta let the dude show he can win and be a trusted go-to in the match. We already know he's got his character down. Now let him prove he's got the wrestling part down without help.

[tomionefinds]

It's not a Tomione, but I really enjoyed Applied Cultural Anthropology by jacobk. I mention this, because there's a really cool series of chapters where Tom mentors Hermione. She uses his diary and he teaches her a lot of cool stuff. Do you know other fics where Tom mentors Hermione? I don't want to read anything too dark. Gray and dark gray is fine, though.

Hey Anon, I haven’t read that one but it’s definitely on my list. So a few popped into my head here, none are too dark I don’t think. Only problem is most of them are WIPs, one is abandoned but worth it. You might also like our Professor AU post; where you can find some Tom in a professor/teacher role. -JD

There’s something unnerving about Tom Riddle.

Hermione’s never quite been able to articulate just what it is about him that unsettles her so: after all, Riddle’s popular and charming and adored by Hogwarts staff and students alike. Still, she’d swear that there’s something lurking beneath that warmly polite veneer of his, something that lies in wait like a serpent in the dark.

But it’s not until her sixth year at Hogwarts, when she rashly confronts him over an unprecedented act of violence, that the full force of Riddle’s chilling regard is abruptly and wholly turned on her.

Avoidance of death provides a powerful impetus for Lord Voldemort to use more than one method to stay alive. If the Horcruxes were not his final play, what would happen? Would it be worth the price he will pay? Hermione finds herself out of place and out of time. What will she do when there is nowhere to run? A Tomione pairing that morphs into LV/Hermione.

Can you a mixture of 5, 14, 69, 70, 94 and/or 98 (you don't have to all of it!) for JD & MC? Where there was an incident between MC and a cryptid where it ends with MC getting injured & had to bandage themselves up after not being able to contact anyone for an unknown reason. MC doesn't mention the incident to anyone but the stress of her sister missing, the supernatural & no one responding to her calls after being injured gets to her. MC brushes it off for days until JD notices MC being off.

Sorry other anon, I want this anon to marry me now.

“You haven’t even touched your food. What’s going on?” JD asks me as I push around the food on my plate.

“Not really hungry, don’t worry.” I tell them, forcing a smile.

I ignore the stabbing pain in my stomach as the wounds on my stomach stretch as I move. They still hurt, and it’s been a week. My rather… awful, alright, I’ll admit it, first aid skills weren’t enough to stop the pain but…

No one had answered my calls. I’d been jumped by the… thing that got Grace and I fought it off, leaving with scars. I’d tried to call everyone else but no one answered. The people who said they would be there hadn’t answered me.

It was a bit of a blow.

“You sure? I know you like this…” JD’s look at my food makes me laugh, causing me to wince as it disturbs my stomach. “…MC…”

“I’m fine.” I say cheerily, standing up to move away from their eyes. But a sharp gasp makes me stop, as I see JD staring at my stomach. I look down only to freeze.

The lower part of my shirt has deep red stains seeping through.

Shit.

“MC!” JD says, getting right up as I try to back away.

“It’s fine!” I say firmly. “Just uh… paint stains I promise!” JD does not look convinced as they stalk towards me still. They reach out to me but I duck away. “It’s okay”

“Take. It. Off.” They snarl. I freeze. Their voice had turned to the same angry voice they used on the Face-Stealer, that deep firm voice with a hint of darkness deep in it, while their eyes seemed to leak hellfire as they glare at me.

I slowly obey, lifting my shirt up to reveal the bloody bandages on my stomach.

JD’s face goes pale, the anger in their eyes vanishing. They move almost to fast for me to see, picking me up and moving me to my living room where they put me on the couch, pulling apart the bandages before I realize where we are.

“Shit, MC… why didn’t you tell us?” they demand, looking at my stomach. “These could have gotten infected!” they said, looking so angry I just kept my mouth shut.

They called the others, looking angry again, though I noticed some worry in their eyes.

Within minutes, the entire group was in my house, Diego looking over my stomach clinically while Mac interrogated me, Razi and JD hissing in a corner.

It slowly got more and more loud in my room until I snapped.

“I’ve had enough! I want to be alone!” I cry out, standing up from where Diego had finished bandaging me, and firmly striding away.

“Whoa, MC-“ JD reaches out but I yank myself away and storm right out of my house, heading to sit in the bed of my truck, feeling angry tears trickle down my face.

Now they care.

-

“Shit.” JD curses, watching as their friend leaves her house. “What’s wrong with her?” they feel so angry MC would hide this. Why would she? Why wouldn’t she be willing to admit what had happened? Why had she been so angry with them?

… with them in particular.

Shaking their head, they turn to see Razi holding MC’s phone. He’s frowning as he scrolls through it.

“She’ll kill you, you know.” JD mutters, turning back to Mac who looks upset herself.

“She should have said something, called us or-“ the sheriff says, looking furious when Razi interjects.

“She did.” He holds the phone up. “Last Friday, she tried to call all three of us. and from the look of the wounds…”

“It was about a week ago, yes.” Diego agrees, pulling out his phone. “I didn’t get a call.”

“Me either.” Mac says, pulling out her own. JD digs their own out, trying to see if she had attempted to contact them but there was nothing.

“Magic interference probably,” Razi says, looking exhausted. “The Face-Stealer probably put up a barrier, not that MC would know…”

“…Leading her to think we simply just didn’t answer.” Diego finishes. JD feels their stomach drop and they turn to leave the house, heading to see MC sitting in the bed of her truck.

Oh gods.

Walking up to her, they watch as the girl cries quietly, tears trickling down her cheeks as she stares at the ground.

“I can’t stand seeing you like this.” It slips out before they can think about it, causing MC to look up, anger in her eyes.

“Then leave.” She snaps. JD shakes their head.

“The thing… it put up a barrier. We didn’t get your calls.” MC snorts bitterly.

“Like I haven’t heard that before.” She sneers. “I can’t believe I thought this time would be different.”

“…What do you mean?” JD asks, confused.

“Oh, you think you’re the first to say you’ll be there for me no matter what and then just…” she waves her hands, tears pouring down her face still. “They usually think it’s funny.”

“Did they hurt you?” JD asks. “Like physically?” They feel anger in their gut, feel the rage and bitterness that MC had gone through that. No one deserved that, it wasn’t funny, it was one of the cruelest things anyone could ever do.

MC doesn’t answer, not looking at them and they whisper quietly.

“Don’t shut me out.” They step forward again. “I promise, there was an issue with contacting us, we didn’t just leave you alone. I promise.” MC looks up and her eyes are so pained that JD feels it in their soul, feels their worry and anger and distress and…

“…I don’t know if I can trust you.” MC whispers out loud.

“I’ll work until my fingers bleed so you can.” JD promises and MC hesitates before she slowly nods.

A step forward.

Thanks for such a great answer on the AoT thing. I guess another thing I'm wondering is about how much we should consume. I know many people who watch tv/movies a few times a month, choosing instead to spend time in the Word or doing community projects. Obviously we shouldn't make an idol out of tv, but my concern is that I'm chronically ill. I don't want to spend my whole life in front of a screen, but I'm practically bed-bound and I can't do much of anything else all day.

You’re welcome, I’m glad you found it helpful!Time spent in consuming entertainment is another aspect that seems to vary from one Christian to another. One person may feel they need to limit themselves more than another person - which makes sense, since everyone is different and we each have our individual weaknesses/distractions we need to make a conscious effort not to get caught up in. Like you said, it’s clearly a problem if consuming entertainment becomes addictive or some kind of idol/obsession that takes over majority of a person’s free time and interferes with his or her spiritual life. That kind of behavior is definitely spiritually unhealthy and can’t be defended, and some people do get unhealthily caught up in watching shows/movies.In your situation, like you said, it’s hard for you to move around a lot due to your medical condition so your circumstances lead you to spend a lot of time in front of the TV/computer to keep yourself busy. If you want to balance out entertainment in a more spiritually healthy way, maybe try to find some Christian TV channels or YouTube channels? I personally love following Pastor JD Farag’s videos. If your mobility is limited to the point that you can’t physically go out to church, maybe try to find a church that records/streams its sermons for people to view online. Also, I’m sure you must read the Word, so to break up the computer/TV time (because computer/TV can get monotonous after awhile), maybe consider adding in more periods of time with the Word. You may also find it enjoyable to listen to the Word using a Bible app. I personally find it very relaxing and nice to listen to scripture.I hope you find these suggestions helpful, let me know if you want to discuss this further or want to talk about anything else. :)
