She smirks, she knows exactly why she touched the ghost walker

Wanna bully fear?

-your greatest nightmare

As much as that sounds enticing, I'd rather not pick fights at random.

Besides I have better things to do then waste my time with that filthy tree. But I suppose that won't stop you now, will it? Go have your fun! I wish you well.

I just hope you have a plan ready when you want to leave this place!

Cause' there's no way in hell a dirty soul like yours is ever gonna be pure!

Have fun! :)

Huh, I wonder who that poster is for

[mxnster-soul]

Wowza, NGL, I wasn't expecting so many viewers for the silly lil updates I post when it comes to Bill being around.

And there's a buncha stuff in the mailbox I haven't gotten to answering yet, and it's hard to list everything into chronological order.

As much as i'd like to keep every posted according to the day/time it's recieved/answered.

I'm losing track of everything, plus there's a limit to how much I can add to the pinned post.

I won't be able to keep things in order, and I wanna catch up with the things i've missed.

TLDR: The #[Blog with Bill] tag will have ALL the updates with Bill searchable through it!

Anything without #[Blog with Bill] has nothing to do with the updates

-The blogger

P.s: Sorry if I reply to an ask late/when whatever stuff has happened has long passed.

Owlcatober - Day 19 - Duty

Prelate Hulrun misses the meaning of certain signs in this @owlcatober while focusing on duty to get through them.

[Ao3 Link]

====

When all else failed, a man at arms could trust in his duty as a reason to go on.

That was what Hulrun Shappok used as his bedrock over the long decades. It was his duty to the Mendevian people, to Golarion as a whole, to stand firm against the horrors of chaos. 

The light of his torch flickered as he made his way through the night. Light always flickered when he needed it for himself. He could remember a time when it had not, back when he was young. Before the brutality of his first crusade - the third of such campaigns. Somehow, that was when he noticed the lights flickering more and more.

Nonetheless, his misgivings were irrelevant as he assessed the streets of Kenabres. They were blessedly quiet tonight. While he was too highly ranked to be wasted on patrols, he could still contribute to that duty as he moved between responsibilities. 

The market square was still in terrible shape, but the bodies had at least been cleaned and fencing had been set up to prevent fools from falling in. A shame that he did not have time to browse them as he once had, but then again with silver coins being heavier and more tarnished in his hands as the years passed on, perhaps it was for the best he had others to do that while he focused on his duties.

“At ease,” he said as a pair of guards - new recruits in the city watch - snapped firm as he walked through the former market.

“Nothing to report, Prelate,” one of them said, the torch post behind her flickering.

He nodded back, continuing past. Up the hill to the temple that had been opposite of holy Iomedae’s. A temple of chaos and lacking responsibility that had so nearly cost them the whole city, cost all Mendev if the Wardstone had indeed caused a reaction in others.

Hulrun had been true to his word and let Ramien and his brats leave unmolested, much as he regretted allowing his duty to go unfinished. He even deigned to respect the temple without a priest. He had instructed it to be turned into an infirmary, one that thankfully could soon be closed down as the wounded were healed.

“Prelate,” said one of the guards at the front - a halfling inquisitor-in-training. “I’m afraid that Sir Jacob is not present - he went to investigate the graveyard.”

Unsurprising - vermleks had infested the city and purging the remnants was time-consuming. “Thank you, squire. Maintain your vigil.”

Hulrun strode past, towards the graves, warding himself against evil creatures with a short prayer to the Inheritor. He listened keenly, for that might be his first warning. And he heard what he was looking for - a sword drawn. Rushing towards the sound, he found Jacob in conflict with a zombie. Jacob’s sword found its mark, but as the creature collapsed another erupted from it - as much worm as man.

“Back, foul demon!” Hulrun snarled as he dropped his torch and charged in, drawing his longsword and bringing it down with both hands for an overhead strike. The vermlek, distracted by the other inquisitor, was unable to dodge in time and was cut through by the cold iron.

Hulrun’s blade did not go all the way through, though, becoming stuck partway through. Unusually stuck as he almost stumbled down as the monster fell. Grimacing, he did not let this setback get in the way of duty: with another tug, he managed to free his blade from material that should have yielded against it.

“Thank you, Prelate,” Jacob said as he caught his breath. He was as old as Hulrun, but the years had not been kind to him - no doubt a result of having been badly wounded several times when he was younger, and not having had as swift access to healers as Hulrun had. “I believe we tracked the source of the lingering undead.”

“Perhaps,” Hulrun admitted as he looked over his sword. Was it just him, or was the quality of his swords dropping? This one had not broken in the ferocity of battle, but he had more than a few that had broken in the last stroke of an engagement. He put it aside - he simply wore them out in his duty. “Yet we must remain vigilant. Who knows what foolishness the Desnans allowed into their hallowed ground?”

Jacob nodded, and both called upon holy light as their torches had fallen dark in the fight. Jacob’s shone brightly, while Hulrun’s flickered occasionally. Annoying, but he could compensate with constant vigilance.

That was what his duty as an inquisitor demanded. No matter how many of his brothers and sisters in faith detested him (which seemed to be more and more every year), how heavy his blade became as he carried out the sentences he passed, no matter how much the light flickered, no matter what inconveniences came his way, he had his duty. To Kenabres. To Mendev. To Golarion. To Iomedae.

He would do his duty, no matter the cost. The myriad dangers of the Abyss and its lackwit lackeys were too great for anything less. Perhaps one day, the things he did would not longer be necessary. Until then, he would do them.

VIDEOTAPE !

i’ve always loved filming. whether it was my friends goofing around or my cats simply existing in their space peacefully. i love just being able to capture the moment then and there. i also love music. concerts are my number one happy place. who knew that two of my favorite things could turn into a career?

i was doing an apprenticeship for this photography company. this week, i’m going to the music festival the town did every summer. except this time i’m able to be the videographer for one of the main stages! i was stoked to say the least.

it was the first day, i spent the morning helping set up the stage i’ll be filming for the next 6 days. since this stage was more for the “bigger acts.” no one was scheduled to perform till 3. after i was done, i went to explore the festival a bit before i was gonna be stuck at the same stage for hours. as i was grabbing a drink, i noticed a guy next to me in line at the taco truck. his hair was black with red underneath it. his black tanktop showing off his colorful tattoos. he must've noticed me staring. he looked over and flashed a smile at me. it was contiguous, i instantly smiled back at him before my drink was handed to me. i walked away hoping i'd run into this handsome stranger. that i'd find him in the crowd of thousands of people..

the only downside to being a videographer is not being able to dance around to the music. i had to make sure my videos were the best quality, trying hard to catch the peak moments of each artist's set. however, i was able to be in front of the crowd. only people in my section were other photographers/videographers and security. it was also nice hearing new music. most of the bands i was familiar with were playing later in the festival. and luckily for me i only work two nights. the last band set to play was about to come on. i looked behind me and saw the crowd double in size. whoever was about to play must be popular. a red light came on the stage, shining on a guy wearing a ski mask. i watched as he walked over to the drum kit on the stage. people in the crowd were screaming. i listened to the drummer, he was one of the best so far. i then eventually the singer came on stage, also wearing a ski mask. and the music started blaring. let me tell you, these guys knew how to put on a show. it was the hardest set yet for me to NOT dance and jump around. eventually the drummer took off his ski mask, and it was the same guy i saw in line. during the show he recognized me and smiled. which i made sure to get on film, even though it caught me off guard that he even remembered me from our brief interaction.

this show was my favorite to film. these guys knew how to put on hell of a show. some of my best footage came from their set. i quickly learned the drummer's name was 'josh dun." who i admired the whole night. his eyes would seem to find me, making sure to flash a grin or do some sort of pose for me..and the camera of course. and every time i felt my heart flutter. their set was over and as i was getting ready to head back to my tent a security guard caught my attention. he said i was asked to be somewhere. i had not a clue where they were dragging me to. nonetheless, i hopped on the golf cart, making sure to film the different bright neon displays that shined through the dark open field. they brought me to a fancy tent. it was huge, there was a soft glow from all of the fairy lights. giving a nice soft ambience. i began to fidget with the rings on my fingers. still unsure on what this place is and why i was here. until the same guy with black and red hair came up to greet me. i somehow felt relieved yet so much more nervous.

“i hope this is okay, i wanted to talk to you but i didn’t want to hope that i’d run into you again.”, josh chuckled nervously.

“duh, who doesn’t like backstage passes.”, i laughed softly. hoping i wasn’t making a fool out of myself.

“i’m josh by the way.”, he smiled once again. reaching out his hand.

“y/n”, i shook his hand. i looked up into his brown eyes. i was admiring his features, from his long eyelashes to his soft lips. i looked away to prevent myself from looking like a total creep. he brought me over to one of the many couches and sat with me. we talked about our careers, and what made us chose them. i enjoyed listening to him talk about something he was passionate about. the way his eyes would squint up whenever he got excited. i barely know this man.. but good god. i thought he looked good on stage, glistened in sweat & his hair damp. but seeing him get so happy was so attractive.

i spent the next 24 hours thinking about josh dun. i sadly didn’t run into him the next day at the festival, but my work was able to occupy MOST of my mind. however it was officially the 3rd day, and my first day off duty. i traded my athletic leisure for something more festival appropriate. i decided on a short sparkly black dress that had silver moon & stars printed over it. as i was walking around the festival that night, i felt someone tap my shoulder. which honestly scared me a little bit until i turned around and saw josh.

“sorry! i didn’t mean to scare you.”, josh must’ve noticed me jump. i wrapped my arms around him. normally i’m not big on hugs. but once again, there was something about him.

“i missed you pretty girl.”, he mumbled against my neck. i couldn’t hide my blush as i pulled away. we talked about our plans yesterday and how we just barley missed an encounter with each other every time. i brought him over to charli xcx’s set. i was nervous he was going to be one of those guys who just stands there and silently judges you for dancing. but josh jumped up and down with me, in my mind it was just me & him. he occasionally would hold onto my waist from behind as we danced together. which flooded my stomach with butterflies. afterwards, i followed him to the stage where one of his favorite bands were playing; death cab for cutie. he held my way the whole way through as we navigated the crowds. josh was also able to get us into vip, which i’ve been in before for work. but this was so much better. being able to relax and really enjoy the music. josh’s hands never left mines. i felt safe besides him. i smiled as i watched him sing along to the music, clearly enjoying himself. of course, i had to get it on camera. to which josh started singing to when he finally noticed. i never wanted this night to end. josh walked me back to where my cab was. i looked up at him for a moment. i wanted to kiss him. everything in that moment was screaming at me to do so. but i was so worried about messing things up that i just stared at him.

“i had so much fun with you tonight, you’re really cool y/n.”, i smiled sweetly at josh’s compliment.

“thanks, you’re not too bad yourself joshua.”, i responded which earned a chuckle from josh. we continued to look at each other, not wanting to leave but unsure what to do next.

“maybe i could have your number? you know, so you can send me that video of me singing.”, josh tried to play it off. i giggled and typed my number in his phone.

the fourth day, i decided to go for a more spacey look. i wore a silver shimmery dress & i put star glitter in my space buns. of course, i met up with josh again. who i got to match with me. he was wearing a white t-shirt with an alien on it.

“you look better each time i see you i don’t get it.”, josh’s compliment made my cheeks heat up. it was almost embarrassing the effect this man had on me. but i didn’t mind it. we ran around the festival, trying random foods & messing around with the different photo ops. we even met up with his bandmate, tyler and his girlfriend jenna. me and her instantly clicked, as if we were best friends in another universe. it was amazing, i never thought this would happen. eventually we parted ways and josh dragged me to the goo goo dolls set. our hands still intertwined. i closed my eyes and moved side to side as i listened to iris, one of my favorite songs. josh pulled me in closer to his side. i looked up at him, meeting his warm brown eyes again.

“you’re so beautiful, you know that right y/n?”, i bit my lip slightly trying to surpress the huge grin on my face. before i could say anything else i could feel josh leaning into me. his lips met mine and my heart was practically beating out my chest. i wasted no time running my hair through his soft curls. josh grabbed my waist and pulled me in closer to him. i dreamed of moments like these. we both had the biggest smiles on our face as we pulled away. josh walked me to my cab again, josh was telling me they were going to start their tour soon. i felt sad. sure, maybe it was naive of me to think this could be anything long term. but this week had been so amazing, the thought of it being over hurt. and knowing josh would be gone for months hurt even more. there was a bit of silence as we were walking, i didn’t have much to say this time around. josh stopped me, holding my hands in front of him.

“okay this may sound crazy, you can say no.”, josh warned me. i could tell he was nervous to ask me. i watched his face as he tried to find the words in his head.

“we need a videographer for our tour, our usual one wife just had a baby so.. would you be interested in being our videographer?”, my face lit up.

“yes!”, i exclaimed. i hugged josh tightly. he spun me around as we giggled together out of excitement. josh kept his arms around me & pulled me in again. our lips crashing together. i was looking forward to having more moments like these over the next 4 months.

Noragami Chapter 108 Correction

So, I dun goofed on my interpretation of pages 14 and 15, and assumed Yato's "I can't" only applied to his statement about living in a world where Hiyori doesn't exist. But it actually applies to his entire statement afterwards, too. That even though he lost someone close to him, he can't destroy the world like his father would have, because it's the world she wanted to protect, and is now her grave.

I've updated the translation and added new links in the original post. Sorry about that.

OH IM DEAD IM ILL AUGH OOF GAH RAH

Alan you dun goofed….

ALSO

I think Victim (now that it’s confirmed) has a huge misconception about Chosen. He thinks that Chosen is Alan’s “Golden Boy” when in reality it’s Second.

So he’s like “Ahahaha!!! I got Chosen! You’re done for!”

And then Chosen’s like “uh… no.. no that’s wrong-“

Hermitcraft/Traffic SMP members as horse breeds! Part 1!

I did this for my previous hyperfixation (F1) and I really wanted to do this for my Hermitcraft/Traffic SMP hyperfixation as well! This is not scientific or accurate at all! It’s for my own fun and for the 10 people who will re-blog this :) All of this is based on vibes and their standard minecraft skins! The dynamics are really all over the place (curse of someone who likes a lot of duos >.<) so they are taken from the Life Series, Hermitcraft as well as some other HC’s or stuff I had. Initially I wanted to do Double Life so that season is a little more prevalent than others!

Bdubs

So for Bdubs I had a very specific vibe in my head which ended up perfectly matching with Etho’s and Impulse’s breeds; namely a small, high-energy mini-horse/pony which likes to make friends with big stallions :). As his breed, I quickly ended with a sport-bred Shetland pony! There’s a bit of a difference between a sport bred Shetland and a more general Shetland, as sport bred ponies are often taller and less chubby. They often look more like their American counterparts! I imagine Bdubs is a pony stud stalled at the same stud-centre as Etho or, alternatively, a gelding stalled at the same riding school as Impulse and Skizz. In any case he’s high energy, loves to play with other horses and gives up the vibe that he never really grew out of the foal phase. Though he can also be very sweet and gentle when the situation calls for it! Definitely has a love for kids! As for his coat, I just couldn’t get rid of the idea of him as a tobiano or spotted pony :) 

Etho

For Ehto I immediately thought of a tall, slender horse, which led me quite easily to the Akhal Teke. These beautiful horses from Turkmenistan are known only for shining like a polished plate which is actually due to their different hair structure! (source). For Etho I imagine a chill stallion that loves to do his work and also just to goof out. I think his scar would be from a fight with another stallion when he was younger, causing either a very obvious scar along his eye or possibly even his eye completely taken out! 

Joel

So for Joel I immediately thought of a Highlander or an Exmoor pony with too much confidence. In the end I settled on a Highland pony because they are just so cute (and have more coat colours compared to the Exmoor >.<). I imagine a small, overconfident stallion who’s stalled at the same stud-centre as Etho and is mostly used as a ‘teaser’ which a pony stallion used to test if mares are in heat and can be bred :) I imagine he gets turned out with the other stallions and is one of the bossiest of them all. I also see Etho just chilling and not giving a shit when Joel tries to boss him around. I also imagine him as a very dark bay or dun. 

Impulse

For Impulse and Skizz I imagined big, gentle draft horses who love to goof around and definitely are the most trusted horse around any stable. For some reason I imagine Impulse just a bit shorter than Skizz, so after I ended up on Skizz’s breed, I thought a Clydesdale would fit Impulse perfectly! Clydesdales were bred from Shires to be a little more sporty, more refined in conformation and gaits. I imagine him as a gentle giant, really calm and loves to chill in the meadow and play with his friends.  

Skizz

For Skizz I immediately imagined a Shire, the ancestor of the Clydesdale and thus a little bigger and less refined in conformation and also currently the tallest or second tallest breed in the world! (The American Belgian can get even taller, but these are the result of very careful breeding whereas the Shire is always this tall). I imagine he’s a little more of a loose cannon compared to Impulse, a horse that’ll accidentally step on your toes trying to get a snack you’re holding out for him for example >.< For his coat I got stuck on the idea of a bay brindle. Brindle is a rare coat colour observed mostly in Quarters, Arabians, sport horses or Spanish horses. We don’t know how it inherits, nor what causes it, so……… :) But, as you probably already guessed, it decisively does not occur in the Shire breed. However, I just think it’s the perfect representation of Skizz’s skin so I’m sticking with it >.<

Ren

Ren was difficult >.< I immediately thought of someone fluffy, medium sized and obviously bay ;) But when you think of fluffy horses you kind of automatically end up with either a draft or a draft like pony, but both of those didn’t really fit with Ren in my opinion. Then I went to see if South Africa has any native horse breeds (Since that’s where Ren was born) and I found the Boerperd! This breed is a recreation of the now extinct Cape Horse of Old Type-Boer Horse. Fun Fact: the name Boerperd comes from the Dutch “Boerenpaard” :D The breed was completely unknown to me but I fell in love quickly. These horses are great all round horses which can compete in about every discipline out there as well as go on horseback safaris! (video). I imagine Ren as a dramatic, playful yet work-focused that loves to go out on trail rides!

Martyn

For Martyn I was also stuck quite a while >.< In the end I was mostly inspired by his minecraft skin which led me to a Haflinger! These fluffy ponies are natives of Austria and Italy. They are also often used as children ponies and are great all rounders who enjoy doing a lot of things! I imagine he meets Ren when he’s purchased by the same stable which owns Ren, one that provides trail rides to experienced equestrians (I hate those places which just rent you a horse without checking your riding experience or matching you to a good horse >:( )I imagine they become very close, always standing together and definitely preferring to walk next to each other, even going to the point of trotting towards the other :) And another Fun Fact; did you know that despite their looks, all Haflingers are Chestnuts? They are often confused for palominos, but they’re really just all flaxen chestnuts >.< This colour comes directly from one the founding studs of the breed!

This was so much fun and I'm already busy with two other parts with all the other Life Series members as well some of my favourites from Hermitcraft!!

[twistedtummies2]

Billy Geant is the sweetest, friendliest, most affectionate man-eating giant you could ever hope to meet. With this statement, however, comes a simple fact. He IS still a man-eating giant. Billy can and will devour, crush, smother, and otherwise obliterate tiny creatures that make him angry enough. He is making a CHOICE to be kind and tolerant. Most giants wouldn't bother. He does not NEED to make that choice.

There are multiple ways to enrage Billy to the point of murderous fury, but the surest and simplest way - the one "kill switch" he is most famous for - is trying to steal from him. These two tiny fools are about to find out there is merit in the old saying: "Beware the fury of a patient man."

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

More art from Twisted-Brainrot, this time showcasing Billy's scary side. I love how COLD he looks here, this is actually - in some ways - more how I imagine his initial reactions being than anything else. When you see that face, you know ya dun goofed. Maybe these two thieves can talk their way out of ending up as giant food, or getting that giant belly slammed down on top of them, or something worse. Somehow, though, I don't feel compelled to hold my breath for it. XD

” Oh yeah ? And what if I don’t do that ? What happens ? Whatcha gonna do about it ? “ He hasn’t been let go yet, and he won’t start now.

He cocks a grin at that, a glint in his eye as a tell: he’s taking that statement as a challenge. “ If y’say so, man. “ He’ll find a way around that… maybe hack the company computer. Maybe rip information straight out of his databank. Maybe kidnap a live higher up. The possibilities are endless!

“ Yeah, yeah, Phone-Face… I bet they would… BUT,” Dave is having WAY too much fun right here, thank you! “I also was wonderin’… d’you have any employees in your animal suits here ? “ There! He should win and come out on top no matter what Phone Guy replies with !

Oh, the PHONE that DOESN'T curse and use slang is gonna lecture him ? ❝ Nah, fuck that !  Y'can't impose on my 🌟🦅 free speech ! 🦅🌟 ❞ Dave unfurls one hand to wave that off for emphasis.

Okay, well . . . To Phoney here's credit, at least he does recognise how hilarious and charming Dave Miller is ! Points for that, at least ! It actually gets him to smile a little again. . . the gesture with the receiver may or may not have helped with that. ❝ Heheh ! Thank you, thank you ! Maybe you ain't completely and wholly stupid up in your ones and zeros after all ! ❞  Unfortunately, his smile does not last. Of course the company doesn't consider where the night guard themselves is to be "an essential area". ❝ Oh yeah ? And how many ' accidents ' happen in those 'non-essential areas', eh ? ❞

[cat-mermaid]

I think we can all agree white baby was on the right track untill he dun goofed and decided to "abandon doubt and vacillation"

ok fine abandon your heart and fears but KEEP THE LOVE U DINGUS

giving up the ability to go "wait maybe I shouldn't do this or that" really fucked him over :(

Match Review: Manchester United 0-3 Bournemouth

Can you call that a match?

I like Amorim and I like his style of play for the team, but on this occasion he dun goofed.

Zirkzee has shown us nothing as the first choice striker, yet led the line against a high pressing, eager Bournemouth. Best case we have possession and pin them back, worst we hit them on the break. Zirkzee isn't that forward. Amad and Bruno as the 10s... they can do it, but they also prefer to be in possession. This game was crying out for Hojlund, Garnacho, Rashford in some combination.

That being said, I'm generally unimpressed with our attackers for the most part this season, so that's not reward for OMG THEY'RE SO GOOD. They haven't been. Rasmus in Europa aside, we've been very meh.

The problem yesterday was that nobody had a good game - even Amad. United were poor in and out of possession. We looked half a yard off it and we looked confused. And worst of all, we missed a handful of clear-cut chances AND clearly didn't listen to the boss, because 53 mins in he made subs. If you're getting hooked 8 minutes after half time you fucked up.

I will say that statistically, we didn't deserve to get humped. 2.66 xG to 1.4 yesterday. In United's favour. Just goes to show how poor Bruno and Garna's misses were. It also serves as a reminder to folks why Garnacho needs more development time. He's very right foot focused, akin to Antony's left. I understand that more gametime might help his confidence and development, but that's a risk to then lose someone else's input. Bruno and Amad as 10s are far more proficient on the ball and offer a more rounded game.

As for the Cherries... Bournemouth's header in the first half was yet another free nod to score. Poor from Zirkzee in defending, especially with his height and frame.

Their second was a penalty from a dogshit tackle by the usually-impressive Mazraoui.

The third goal started from a pointless dink pass attempt by Mainoo. Mazraoui up field from an attack meant that Bruno deputised at RWB - good man. The problem there was that Bruno got beaten for the reaction time, Yoro was ball watching, and so too was Martinez in the box, rather than I dunno... marking Semenyo who then had a tap-in.

This is the challenge that Amorim faces: players when it's going well stay focused and composed and look comfortable. When it's not... we're seeing who can hack the pressure and who can't.

I think United have a core collection who won't be shifted anytime soon, and who genuinely could be in a title-winning team if things worked out for us, but there's a cluster of people who are the reason we're nowhere near that and a new group of people who aren't in either camp. This is very much the season of "you're either with us or against us" in that sense - you can either help us win a title or you need to go. Onana, Mount, Dalot... they all fit in that bracket, but more and more I'm thinking Lissandro Martinez is too. And that's frustrating. The Butcher is an easy to love player, talismanic, a bit mad... but his defensive performances this season have been visibly sub-par and I'm worried he's playing himself out of the club. Maybe a back 4 suits him and not a back 3. I could sympathise with that. Same way Dalot's had struggles at RWB (and LWB but we forgive that).

Maybe I'll do a post on the squad and how I'd approach it if it were Football Manager: who stays, who goes.

Next up: the Dingles on Boxing Day, with Wolves on another new manager bounce vs us and a strong win against Leicester. Sigh. The Bogey Team are going to do us again, aren't they?

[when-the-spagheddie-hits-the-fan]

I'm in the BIT Club (IT Book Club)

Each week we read a certain amount of the book and I have thoughts and feelings about IT *Ba Dum Tss*

Warning: There are Spoilers

Week 1

Ch. 1

   I really liked being in Georgie’s perspective, and the whole time he’s describing the basement I kept hearing the Jaws *dun dun* because of future events and just having the knowledge I have from the Miniseries, Movies (and Musical), like, dude, you have no idea how right you are! And that turtle wax made me go, “omg, does Stephen King even realize what he did there?!” and it’s like “yeah, ya goof.”

   Georgie and Bill’s relationship was so siblings. People don’t always write siblings being assholes to each other while also showing that they care about each other. I think the butthole jokes weirdly show that off the best, and Georgie is so cute about Bill saying “shitty butthole” — very little kid of him.   Also, when Georgie kisses Bill on the cheek and Bill tells Georgie to be careful before leaving, I never thought it was weird while watching the other media, so when it was pointed out how unusual it was it got me thinking about why did they do it that time? Was it the turtle or was it just one of those moments that really stands out to you because it was the last time you saw that person and it ended in tragedy or was it something else completely? 

   Something that really surprised me was that an adult “saw” what happened and actually went to go check on Georgie. Any other time I’ve seen this scene it almost always cuts away right after Georgie is attacked so I had no idea. Plus adults suck, so anytime they aren't it’s always wild to me.

Ch. 2

   This chapter is so brutal, obviously. But like, fuck, dude. What adds to the harshness of it all is like this shit has happened and can still happen. My heart felt so disgusted by what those homophobic pricks were doing. And the hopelessness of Don crying out for anyone to help, and running back to Adrian and not being able to anything was so sad and sickening.

   And with Pennywise showing up to finish off Adrian I find myself thinking, not at the time but looking back on it, Pennywise is not as bad as those jackwagons. Is that weird to think? I mean, Pennywise is a murder-crazed space clown god thing, what are those scum sucking fuckwads excuses?

   Something I found interesting is how kinda neutral the cops were? ACAB and all that, but I thought they were gonna be evil and that’s that. But no. Sure they aren’t supportive of the gays but they didn’t go out of their way to fuck with them, and one stopped the first altercation and told the warthog sniffers to fuck off. Again ACAB and at the end of the day they are, but I was kinda thrown for a loop when they weren’t vile creatures.

   On a happier note; the Elmer Curtie part was really funny. Man has a successful gay bar in a small, homophobic town and it takes him 4yrs, give or take, to realize it. Amazing! And when he figures it out he’s like, “Most of my patrons are polite, I never have to pay for damages because girls aren't an issue, and I’m making money?? I see only positives!” Also, it’s totally canon that he ships Don and Adrian.

Ch. 3

   This was a hefty chapter, and my favorite out of the 3 for this week. For a chapter as a whole; I liked the back and forth of who was narrating for each Loser’s parts (other person, that loser, other person, that loser, other person, that loser), and a thought I’m sure no one has had before; IT should really be a TV Series. Chapter 1 and 2 could easily be their own episode, and each of the Losers’ sections could be their own episode too!

   Stan- Okay, starting off strong and sad. Really surprised that Stan is first, and we’re in Patty’s head. I learned way more about Patty than I ever did with the Miniseries and Movies combined. I mean in total her screen is like what? Over 5mins?

   The people need to know that puzzles are Patty’s thing! I repeat, girl has hobbies away from Staniel!!

   That part about her not being allowed in that high society club dance, describing her beautiful dress that made her look like a mermaid, the sound that her heels made on the gravel when walking back to the car, the laughing she hears and how that will affect her even years from now, that shit is crushing. And her and Stan's relationship is so nice and sweet. She doesn’t always get him, but she loves him so much, and they’re each other's person. He’s gentle with her for their first time. I made an audible “awww” when Patty said, “Don’t hurt me, dear.” and he said, “I will never hurt you.” Then the moment got ruined with remembering what’s gonna happen, but I digress.

  So when Patty goes to check on Stan, again, it’s way longer. The one thing that really stood out to me is that she notices all the unusual things Stan is doing, things that he never really does but it’s nothing that she feels like she needs to bring up with him. And then it’s too late, and those out of place things are just playing over and over again in her head. It got me thinking about Georgie's chapter. The kiss and the concerned warning that the brothers do for the last time they would ever see each other. And how it stands out to them but they say nothing about it, and thoughts of these mistakes and what they should have done will stay with (sadly only) Bill forever. And now with Patty. Fuck.

   Two things I can now confidently say now about Stan is he’s autistic and the man fucks!

   This is such a little piece and I haven’t read the whole book so technically the whole picture isn’t there, but Stan is autistic. The way he talks and interacts with people, he’s logical and doesn’t feel the need to explain himself. ‘Cause why would he? He’s right. Speaking as a person that also falls on the spectrum, reading this little bit about Stan at least makes me go, “Hmmm, gonna file that for later.” Also, and I really wish this wasn’t the case, I really appreciate having Stan not come off as cold and heartless. He jokes around and clearly loves his wife. Almost like he's a person and not some broken robot. What a concept!

   On a hornier note, Stan likes sex. The Miniseries understood that. It’s so great that when they leave the clinic, Stan's first words are, “I never do”, and then clarifies, “Think about procreation during.” Noice. I don’t know; I just really like knowing that the dude fucks and he likes it.

   On a final note; I’m interested in finding out why he remembers more than any other losers. Like, I know but I’m curious to see how the book will explain it.

   Richie- Richie has ADD/ADHD!

   From the need to play music (the louder the better) to either help him focus or distract him.

All those voices he does, him wanting to please the people he talks to, and not wanting to say or show what he’s actually feeling or thinking? That is so masking!

   I know with every character there are a lot of thoughts going on in their heads, but Richie’s on a different level. Not only does he have a lot of thoughts, but he’s also talking to a lot of people, using multiple voices, and he’s quick on his feet when on the spot. Plus I know he has the gift of gab (aka never shuts the fuck up), he’s moving around a lot, and he’s keeps getting distracted with little things going on around him. His brain is all over the place.

   Imma call it; Richie wasn’t bullied for his glasses (I mean he was but shush); he was bullied because he has ADD/ADHD! Kids don’t need to know what it is to spot it and hate you for it. Talking from experience as an ADD kid (or that weird annoying girl).

   It’s really sad that the main memories that he remembers is the bullying, the names they called him, and getting beat up.

   I’m glad he had friends that loved and cared about him.

   Also, holy crap! Richie said, “You bet your fur” first!

   Ben- …Okay, real talk? Ben’s part was so funny! I already brought up that the amount of times Ricky Lee’s name was so fucking funny to me here, but the waitress, the lemons, and the amount of stress Ben was giving Ricky Lee was really funny.

   Of course I feel bad for Ben but to be in Ricky Lee’s POV is really something special!

   Sorry, not that much to say. I guess something to add is Ben needs therapy (no duh). In this case I’m talking about his body image issues, and for what he put his body through and I bet is still doing to look “perfect.”

   Eddie- I don’t think I have to bring up examples on why Sonia sucks and is a terrible mother; you saw all the words about her.

   Everything that was shown about Eddie wasn’t surprising. I think reading the source really showed me the fights that he has with himself might be his biggest problem (those words come from his mother but you get it) And I really like that you can tell, even through all his fear, that Eddie is a capable person and is very brave.

   Also, I was expecting Eddie to have a long list about everything he takes but, good lord, that list really did go on forever.

   I don’t know how fans feel about this, considering all the fanfics I read I think I’m really in the minority, but I don’t think Myra is abusive?? At worst, I think she kinda manipulates Eddie into feeling bad and getting her way but like I don’t know, it feels like she’s fucked up like Eddie but in a different way, they both seem to be stuck in this life. Even what I said about the worst seems a bit too much. I actually feel bad for her. I’m really surprised because, again, all the fanfics I’ve read, things I’ve seen online talking about her and Sonia’s similarities, and I guess the little snippet from the second movie shaped my original opinion about her.

   And can I just say, I hate how Stephen King describes fat people. He makes it seem like the biggest sin a person can have is being fat. Like, “Of course they're a bad person. Didn’t you see how big they are? I mean how could you not?! Fat people are so gross!” I just — it makes me uncomfortable. Especially ‘cause, oh I don’t know, BEN! Let’s see how that goes.

   Bev- This is really brutal. Besides Bev beating the ever-loving shit out of Tom and scream-laughing like the beautiful mad lady she is when she's outside, my overall favorite part is how Tom is able to sound cruel and vile but also show just how pathetic and dumb he really is.

   He really is a top tier abuser with no skills of his own, and has the mind of a whiny child. I hope his balls exploded into bloody nothings, and the wounds Bev gave him never heal and he’s unable to cover them so he never forgets what happened and his outside matches his insides. (btw scars are cool and okay but fuck this turd)

   I’m glad Bev found her strength again.

   Bill- I learned you can do anything if you have the unjustified confidence of a white man. I wanted to say that college Bill was being really egotistical, but what the fuck do I know? It worked out great for him. 

   Seriously though, I’m trying really hard not to jump the gun but I know that book adult Bill sucks and the live action adult Bills don’t. And overall Bill seems okay in his section buuuut, I don’t know; I’ll keep trying to take in the book without my prior knowledge.

   I like Audra, and finding out how they met. I think it’s sweet that you wouldn’t think they would have ended up together but they really do seem to love each other. And Audra really seems to care about him. What a nice, good lady. Sure would be a shame if Bill became human trash and taints what they have.

Okay, 9.3 down and I have one question:

How did Clockblocker's dad never get healed before?

Like, obviously, Amy can't heal literally every person that gets sick in Brockton Bay, true. But we know she goes to the hospital quite a bit. One would assume said hospitals do things like triage who they send Amy to? At least sending her to people with major issues, like leukemia?

Was it that his situation was never severe enough before Leviathan and the breakdown of power, water, supplies, etc? Was he in private care and thus never at the hospital (at which point that seems like a 'you dun goofed' moment)? Is Amy not going to the hospitals to heal now? I find that a bit hard to believe.

So one would think that he'd have been healed before by now? This feels like a very out of place bit. Not unbelievable by any means, but I do wish the writing would have at least explained this, a little?
