“How’re you gonna help me? Hm? You, who never thinks of leaping off buildings?” - Karen Eiffel, Stranger Than Fiction(2006)

[aparticularbandit]

So.

Time to talk Stranger Than Fiction and Karen Eiffel and Danganronpa V3 and Tsumugi Shirogane.

Most of you have probably DRV3 spoilers, but you probably DON'T have STF spoilers, so if you haven't seen it, go see the movie and then come back because we're talking end of the movie twist spoilers, mmk?

So let's talk Stranger Than Fiction.

Stranger Than Fiction is about a man - Harold Crick - who suddenly begins to hear a woman's voice narrating his life. This is not so bad, until the woman says that something he did would soon lead to his death.

It's about the literature analysis of tragedy (Harold finds a literature professor to help him find the author writing him).

It's about a woman who is famous for writing ironic, heartbreaking tragedies (one of her protagonists was a teacher who died from a heart attack in a traffic jam on the first day of summer break; that sort of thing) but who cannot figure out how to kill her newest protagonist, Harold Crick.

And this all sounds very heavy, but Harold Crick is played by Will Ferrell and the professor is played by Dustin Hoffman and Karen Eiffel - the author - is played by Emma Thompson and her assistant is played by Queen Latifah and it is honestly a fantastic movie that deals with this stuff in an extremely humorous way. (And not like most Will Ferrell comedies which I refuse to see. This is not that kind of comedy.)

But it does come to a point where Harold Crick finds Karen Eiffel (through the power of being an IRS agent), and she is confronted with the fact that every character she has ever written is a real person. Her assistant gives Harold the manuscript - Karen had just figured out how to end it, how he was going to die, but she hasn't written it yet, just cliffnotes, and she doesn't know if that even counts or not - so that he can read it.

And while he's gone, Karen has this moment of "I killed all those people. All those wonderful people. And I just killed them. At the worst possible time, I killed them."

Because it is one thing to write a book and characters and it is a whole other thing to find out that those people are real and that you have that kind of power over their lives.

Harold reads the book and decides to let the ending stand because the book is beautiful and it's the right ending and he's willing to die - to sacrifice - because that's the proper ending.

And we, the viewer, see the death. See Karen writing the death.

See Karen break down over writing the death. Because she's killing someone. It doesn't matter that she's just writing a book; she's actually killing someone.

And then we cut to Harold being in the hospital with all of the broken bones and everything and actually he's not dead because Karen couldn't do it. She just couldn't do it. And when asked why, she says that Harold was willing to lay down his life for that, and "Isn't that the sort of person you want to keep around?"

But in the end, confronted with the fact of what she'd been unknowingly doing, Karen couldn't do it. Because Harold stopped being a fictional character the moment he became a real person.

And this is kind of the inverse of what we see in DRV3.

For Tsumugi, these people stop being people the moment they become fictional characters (and if she's been doing this for as long as it's implied she's being doing it, that makes sense).

But also - from the interviews we've seen - these people aren't Harold Crick. They're people who want to join to do murder, they're people who want to join because they've lost faith in humanity, they're people who don't understand that the premise of "the murder game is bad" is that "the murder game is bad".

And Tsumugi goes through who knows how many of these auditions every season.

Tsumugi looks at what probably, to her, feels like scum after a while (because she's hearing about all the ways these people want to kill other people probably, all the things they've thought of, and how excited they are to murder) and thinks, I will make you better.

It goes back to 3-2 - what value is a human life?

Kaito says that all lives have equal value, even the bad ones, and he sticks to that. Given the opportunity, he doesn't shoot to kill Kokichi and probably wouldn't. Because despite everything, Kokichi's life is still valuable to him. So is Maki's. So is everyone else's.

But this is only true because Tsumugi wrote a character who believed these things and was these things and had that character overwrite the very real human being who came before him who just wanted to jump in and kill someone. Who clearly thought exactly none of that.

Tsumugi takes lives that she sees have little value and writes them new lives that usually have more value because the cases and the storylines and everything say something. Mean something. To someone.

And yes, you can make the argument that Kiyo sucks, but let me tell you, despite the ending of 3-3, he is somehow still Lucah's favorite, so like. Every character has someone who loves them. Every character has a point and a purpose. And every story builds on those characters to make a point about hope - and usually about a lot of other things besides.

Tsumugi isn't right by any means. That's not what I'm saying.

But Tsumugi does the thing that Harold Crick would have let Karen Eiffel do.

She takes people who are willing to die to make a fantastic story.

And it's such. an interesting reversal and parallel. Because Tsumugi goes into it accepting this is what is going to happen. Karen Eiffel realizes and can't do it anymore.

(But Karen's character submits; Tsumugi's characters don't, even if the people behind them did.)

anyway as a writer who is plagued by my own characters, watching a movie where a character was plagued by his own narrator was everything to me

the Team USA and Team Japan athletes finally receiving their team event medals from the 2022 Beijing Olympics 😭 :

Team USA 🇺🇸 Karen Chen Nathan Chen Madison Chock/Evan Bates Madison Hubbell/Zachary Donohue Alexa Knierim/Brandon Frazier Vincent Zhou

Vincent had covid and didn't even get to have this moment. it's going to be touching to see them all get the medals they earned

Team Japan 🇯🇵 Wakaba Higuchi Yuma Kagiyama Misato Komatsubara/Tim Koleto Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kihara Kaori Sakamoto Shoma Uno the medal ceremony is tentatively set for August 7 in Champions Park in the Trocadero Gardens at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in Paris ❤️

now pls justice for the Canadian team - they shouldn't have to wait til 2026 to receive theirs

[gemsofgreece]

Wishing a smooth Olympic hosting to France!

Overall very solid ceremony, the weather was definitely not feeling it, which makes me worry a little about the performance of the athletes in the following days after getting THAT drenched... On the positive side, the entire last act from the hooded rider horse-sailing the Seine onwards, the segment with the Notre Dame and the medal making, the clever performance of the French National Anthem, most of the music choices, the Olympic Hot Air Balloon ablaze, the Eiffel light rave and Celine Dion's majestic performance. I am all for Lady Gaga actually but on this day Celine wiped her out and it was great to see her in good health and good spirits.

Now, on the less ideal stuff, there should be a little better preparation for adverse weather (movable roofs and tents for emergency???), first part of the show didn't really have any Olympic essence about it, poor camera work, too much boat back and forth, it was a little messy, olympic flag upside down!?!?!?!, the dance and fashion segments, although needed, they kinda dragged pointlessly and to be honest the first dancing groups looked like they practiced their routine exactly ten minutes before the ceremony started.

Since I said camera work; everyone in Greece is laughing about the fact that FIBA, Greece and Paris were raving about Giannis Antetokounmpo being the Greek flagbearer who would therefore open the parade and somehow French director managed to miss the 2.10m dude entirely behind the blue banner.

Giannis Wazowski

I also had a big clown / Karen moment because I thought the French betrayed us and casually chose to not hoist our flag and sing the anthem but then I googled it and found out this happens in the closing ceremony, sorry, okay in fact I haven't been watching the ceremonies all that closely in the past and I got confused! So... I'll be waiting... because so far from the few ones I have seen the best anthem performance has been in the Winter Olympics of Vancouver 2010.

As for the Olympic anthem performed this night, fun fact: it is a Greek composition by Spyros Samaras with lyrics written by poet Kostis Palamas. The anthem was composed for the first Modern Olympics in Athens 1896. Initially, every host country was assigned to compose its own Olympic anthem which soon proved too much of a hassle. In 1936, an anthem composed by Richard Strauss was chosen as the supposedly permanent one. In 1954 it was switched to an anthem composed by Polish Michal Spisak. In 1958 the International Olympic Committee voted for the original anthem of Samaras and Palamas to be the official Olympic anthem and it is the one that is performed ever since, although sometimes host countries translate the lyrics to their own language. In Paris this year I could honestly not pick up much of what they were singing but their first line was definitely "Ἀγιο Πνεύμα αθάνατο" (áyio pnévma athánato, = Holy Spirit Immortal) so apparently they sang the original.

Relax

Matthew Murdock x Foggy Nelson x gn!Reader x Karen Page

CW: Drabbls| Foursome| Matt, Foggy, Karen and Reader go to visit the Eiffel tower (not really)| Reader is a bottom, the others are all tops and soft doms lol| Oral (male and female receiving)| Fingering (female receiving)| Double penetration (not specified how but up to you to decide)| Porn with little to no plot| Reader with no specified gender or genitalia| letting out my pent up horny thoughts with this as i watch the daredevil series for the 4th time now| Unedited|

A/N: i ws tierd of Karen being written as a bitch in the fics, let e wih my own thoughts ya? Didnt really specify anything other than this is after the trio rename the office

There was tension at the Nelson, Murdoc and Page office. You decided to "help" with the tension a little, in your own special way

Moaning and groanings are heard from inside the office, the office being closed long ago as the moon rose its head over the New York City. Lights of the billboards and city lights from outside help to illuminate the scene from inside the doors even more.

Matthew's head thrown back, eyes closed and mouth hanging, groans and praises spilled out as you took his cock in his mouth, shirt open and his abs glistening from sweat. His groans sound heavenly sending shivers down your spine to your core as you bop your head up and down trying not to gag

Your left hand went to occupy itself on Foggy's cock stroking him as delighted moans, a breathy "fuck" was heard and he held your hand tighter around him to help you with the peace while your right hand made its way to Karens exposed cunt, your thumb rubbing delicate circles on her clit

"Shit, just like that sweetheart, so good for us.. right boys?" A combined and breathy "yes" was heard and you barely could contain your moans now sending viberations down Matt's dick making him groan and grip your hair as he pulls you down on him making you choke

Gripping your hair tighter he pulls you off of him, spit and precum dripping from your open mouth down to your chest and floor, making both Foggy and Karen groan who witnessed the scene

"God baby come here, please?" practically begged Foggy as he pulled you by the hand that was holding his cock, Karen huffed in frustration at the emptiness but Matt's skillful fingers quickly filled the space up as he fisted his cock to the sounds.

Foggy places you before his open legs and tapping the tip of his cock on your waiting tongue. You wrap your lips around the head as you began suckling the flushed tip,

"God honey, yes! Just like that so good, so so good" Foggy sobbed as you continued to suck on his cock, feeling him shake as you put your hands on his thighs as you look up at him

Then you look at Karen and Matt who had their whole attention to you and pleasuring eachother as now Karen is giving Matt a handjob and Matt is fingering her as she sat on the office table, legs spread wide

"Don't you think we should give our darling some attention, theyre about to leak through their underwear" and it was true, all this time you were trying to releif yourself by pressing your thighs together, not touching yourself, being so so good for them, and so patient.

"I think we all need releif, don't you think so baby?" You pulled off of Foggy as Matt spoke again as he walked closer to you, completely removing his pants and sitting down on the floor, legs semi spread as he curled his fingers in a 'come hither' movement, so you crawled towards him.

You were on his lap, his aching hard cock touching your sensitive area, he rubbed your wetness onto your hole as a lube before he pushed his tip in, making you both groan, you lay your forehead on his shoulder as you hear someone behind you, big calloused hands rubbing you back gently

"Can we share you baby? You look so fucking good" Foggys soft voice pulling you through your hazy and blurry thoughts, and all you can do is nod

He sits down on the floor behind you, positioning himself on you as he gently rubs his tip to gather some of tour wetness, before sliding in, and fuck did it feel good. The sting, the stretch, the feeling of them rubbing on eachother with little to no space for one another, it send your head spinning as you gasped soundlessly as they moved, no longer having patience to wait any longer

Both of the men groaning and moaning in your ears, kissing, sucking biting on your skin, marking you up for everyone to know that youre their, all you can do is scream in pleasure as they chaise their own, then you see a figure come next to you three

"Care to help me too sweetheart?" Karen asked so sweetly as her shirt, skirt and underwear is no where to be seen, her glistening pussy taking all your attention as you can only nod, looking up at her with teary puppy eyes

"So good for all of us baby" she rests a foot on your shoulder, your arm snakes to het a hold of her other leg as she lowers herself onto your mouth as you greedily lap away, eager to make her feel good too.

She threw her head back and groaned, the sensation feels amazing, the groans of her other two lovers giving her even more of a thrive as she now grips your hair to get you to stay in place, rutting herself on your face. You hear Foggy curse as Matt guttery groaned, then he grabbed Foggy by the base of his skull kissing him roughly

Your eyes roll back, all your senses overstimulated as all you can do is be used by your partners, happy to make them feel happy.

Fist came Matt, gripping your thighs roughly that will surely leave bruises in the morning after, then Foggy who cried out loud before biting down on your shoulder to get his fill out.

Matt then reached down to rub you off, making you cum violently as you cried onto Karens pussy as she let out cries of her own as she finally let herself go and came allover your face, rutting onto her nose as she calmed down and looked at you all. 'A whole mess' she thought to herself as she climbed off of you and stroke your cheek. You were looking at her in a such blissed out face she only chuckled, and sat down the chair that was pulled off long ago.

Matt then kissed you, tasting Karen from your mouth and lips, humming in the taste as he pulled out of you making you hiss onto the kiss. Foggy then pulled you towards him, getting a taste for himself, and getting off of you.

You sat there on the floor, Matt and Foggy grabbing stuff to help you clean and get you dressed, Karen sneakily taking a picture of you, on your knees, cum spilling out of you, and juices all over your face, a content look on your face as your naked body shined in the light from sweat and all the live that was poured into and out of you.

Being tall is hard

Being tall in this country is so fucking hard, I'm a 6'2½ (1.9 meters) Indian guy and this country isn't built for me.

First, I hit my head everywhere 10x a day and I am this close to a concussion each time🤏 no amount of food is suffice, i need to eat like a monster to be satisfied and when I do guess what, I feel hungry again 30 minutes later.

Then, I look tall next to everyone, I tower over everyone like I'm the fucking Eiffel tower and as someone who likes tall people, finding them is so hard, I'm Bi, girls being short is completely fine, but the guys! they're all in the 5'5-5'9 range and they're hateful pieces of shits (most of them at least, my male friends are very nice people and the girls are ALL awesome too, ily)

Then the names I'm called (Lambu, Khamba and giraffe) especially when I'm at school and a presentation is going on are pissy, like I'm this close to beating someone up.

Then when I was 16, guess what, I was 6'0 and while walking down the street, some asshole guy groped me, he grabbed my ass hard and then walked away, it took me 2 days to process what happened and I cried my ass off, like had I not been tall that wouldn't have happened, would it have been wrong had it happened to someone else, yes, but I wouldn't have hated myself for so long.

But I don't completely hate it either, especially because a lot of my favorite people are tall, my dad and Henry Cavill are 6'1, my mom and Deepika Padukone are 5'10, my brother and Tom Hiddelston are 6'2, Taylor Swift and Karen Gillian are 5'11, Chris Hemsworth is 6'3, Chris Evans is 6'0 and Alexander Skarsgard is 6'4, they're all reasons I like being tall :)

Hilbert: Perché ha cambiato l'epilogo? Karen Eiffel: Per molte ragioni. Mi sono resa conto che non ce la facevo. Hilbert: Perché lui esiste? Karen Eiffel: Perché è un libro che parla di un uomo che non sa di stare per morire, e poi muore. Ma se invece l'uomo sa che sta per morire, e muore comunque, cioè muore volontariamente, sapendo che può evitarlo, allora non è il tipo d'uomo che si vorrebbe tenere in vita?

These are memes -- jokes -- about Kelvin and Keefe of The Righteous Gemstones. Most don't require a knowledge of the show.

1. BJ and Keefe go to church

BJ: Praise Jesus!  Testify!  I got the Spirit of God in me!

Keefe: When will this be over so Kelvin and I can go home and make out?

2. The Men's Room

Keefe: During my Satanist days, I spent a lot of time in the men's room of that truck stop off Highway17. Want to give it a try?

Kelvin: You always have the best ideas for Date Night.

3. The honeymoon

Kelvin: You want to go sightseeing?  But Keefe, this is only the fifth day of our honeymoon.  The Eiffel Tower can wait.

4. Even my grandmother knows, and she's never seen the show.

Jack: Then Kelvin said...he said...

Karen: That no one knows he's gay!

5.  Try one in black leather

"I can't wear this at the drag show, Keefe.  It's way too retro for my Lady Gaga number!"

6. Eli got Keefe a pair of knee pads for Christmas.

Keefe: Your Daddy is worth $600 million, and he can't afford two chairs?

Kelvin: Don't take it personal.  Daddy makes all my boyfriends sit on the floor.  He figures you spend so much time on your knees, you must like it down there.

u. You thought Keefe was Kelvin's first?

When Kelvin was in college, he had half the guys in town on their knees...praying to get saved, I mean.

8. Depends on the filling

Keefe makes his special Belgian waffles for the party, but he can't decide whether to serve them with chocolate sauce or whipped cream.
