Josephine subtly let her eyes roam over the man as she strolled to the restroom. His eyes were focused on the TV screen above the bar, the hosts droning on about team points and predictions for the upcoming season. It was the perfect situation for looking him over without being caught.

He was tall, his leather work boots resting on the barstool’s rung. His shirt was cuffed up, displaying the gentle muscular curve of his forearms. He took a sip of his beer, raking his hand through his reddish brown curls that flopped back to their original position. Josephine got one good glimpse of his profile before having to look away - strong jaw, five o’clock shadow, a faint scar just along his cheekbone.

Jane was right, he was attractive. Unfairly so, almost. He looked like he belonged out in the wilderness - with the sturdy work boots and dark jeans, he’d be better suited to chopping wood and blazing trails than here in the heart of the city. Josephine snuck another peek at the man as she returned to the table, irresistibly drawn to him now that she was aware of his presence.

This time, his eyes caught hers in the mirror as she slid into the seat next to Jane. They held eye contact that way for a moment, before he smirked, winked, and raised his glass to her reflection in quick succession. Josephine’s cheeks warmed under the attention, and her eyes flicked down to her hands on the table - partially ashamed she’d been caught ogling the man, and partially excited that he’d noticed her.

“See? I told you.” Jane whispered as she pushed Josephine’s fresh beer to her. “He’s into you, Jos.”

Josephine scoffed, taking another sip and letting her eyes roam over the stranger’s profile as he let his attention fall back to the screen. “Doubtful. He just happened to catch me staring and didn’t want to make it weird.”

Jane groaned, shaking her head as she stood. “Jos, you sell yourself too short. You deserve a good man in your life. I’m going to the restroom, don’t make eyes at him all night.”

Josephine snorted, pulling her phone out. “I won’t, Jane.” She flicked open her text messages, responding to a few texts from Lucy before starting to scroll through her social media accounts.

She failed to notice Jane plopping down on the bar stool on the far side of the man, gesturing to their table, and clapping him on the shoulder before continuing on her path to the ladies room, wide grin on her face.

“Sorry, I hope I’m not intruding,” Josephine’s hand stuttered, inadvertently liking a post as she fumbled her phone. She blinked up into smiling amber eyes, her mouth drying further as she realized it was the stranger from the bar standing over her. “Your friend suggested I should come introduce myself.”

Josephine wordlessly gestured to the seat across from her, sliding Jane’s beer off to the side out of the way. His voice was warm, honeyed and husky all at once and she suddenly wanted to hear more of it.

“I’m Gary,” he offered, as he slid into the seat Josephine offered.

Her voice warbled. “Josephine.” She absentmindedly traced swirls in the water droplets on the table, trying to mask the sudden onset of trembling in her hands.

“A pretty name for a pretty lady,” Gary murmured, smiling at her.

Josephine’s heart pitter-pattered at the compliment, heat climbing up her cheeks as she mumbled a thanks, their eyes locking again.

He was even more handsome up close, a smattering of freckles playing across his nose and cheeks, his heavy framed glasses accentuating his eyes. A small hearing aid was tucked beneath a curl of hair. The scar she noticed across his cheek actually stretched across over the bridge of his nose, like a pair of lab goggles had pressed a permanent indentation into the skin. He rubbed at his chin, smirking at her.

“So, Gary,” she started, taking a sip of her beer to mask the exhilaration and glee racing through her veins - no one this attractive sought her out intentionally. She coughed as the alcohol coursed down her throat. “Sorry, I’m not used to hot men just coming over and introducing themselves like that.”

He laughed, and it sent giddy shivers up her spine. “It’s understandable. Usually I don’t find such a lovely woman to introduce myself to.”

SO the ask mentioning the W.I.T.C.H. reboot/rewrite thing got me thinking about that and like.

I wanted to rewrite the bit during L is for Loser. Because ya know what fuck Irma having to apologize.

So yeah I'm going to have the setup of like. When he's not flirting with her, Irma thinks Martin is pretty okay. Maybe not 'cool', but he's sweet and a friend. And she does like him enough /as a friend/ that while she shuts down his advances,

And then ofc he continues, especially when they're working together and she expresses gratitude that he purposely misinterprets as flirting and the Grumper Sisters spurring him on because they think it's funny because Irma gets upset every time.

Which eventually results in her snapping at Martin. And like in the episode, Irma thought they were alone and had no idea the Grumpers had flipped all the switches to air them.

At first it also goes like Canon in the school's reaction. A lot of people thinking that Irma was just being a bitch and dunking on the nerd on the air because she could. A few people seem to think there might be more, but the others are louder. Especially as the various bullies 'congratulate' her for doing it. Doubly especially as Martin is being very cold to her.

Eventually, after a chunk of thinking on it, Irma addresses it on the live show. (Kicking everyone else the fuck out so they don't mess with her again).

She first explains the situation, and does apologize for everyone hearing that confrontation, but pointedly says that it was a private conversation aired without either party's consent.

Then while she explains that she may apologize for one or two of the things said, as they were out of line and said out of anger and want to hurt after what he had done, they were not applicable to the situation.

But she says she is refusing to apologize for getting mad and laying out the facts so harshly. Because she can only stand so much of her friend making advances on her and making her feel less like his friend and more like he only gives her attention because if he wears her down she might date him. Because nothing short of yelling at him like that had ever gotten him to listen to her about it.

While she'd love to keep him as a friend, it's not going to be at the cost of being harassed and made to feel like she doesn't truly matter to him.

Ofc the students all have their own speculations on this situation, some calling it a half-assed apology covering her ass, some now flipping and turning Martin into some creepy perv asshole(which he is a little bit but not to the extent.). But honestly it doesn't matter that much.

Mostly because Martin does come by to talk and apologize. Because yeah he- he has a crush on her and was probably seeing things that weren't there and was encouraged by others and just overall didn't realize how much he was hurting her. And he doesn't want to do that because, while he is in love with her, he values her as a person and a friend.

He promises to be better going forward, but he wants to keep this friendship too. And he admits he'll probably make a mistake or two so please just spritz him with water like a cat or politely kick him in the shin. Irma agrees and they leave as friends. The two of them being friendly again helps squash the rumor mill for the most part.

June 23rd 2016

Awenha slumped in her chair while gazing at a hologram of an intricate web of brain activity. She swiped at a wild curl tickling the side of her face and she focused on the task. Brains and veins seem more accessible than actually accessing her emotions these days. She had been too complacent lately. She often heard the voice of her mother hum through her head to take risk, to break out of the ordinary, to find her place in the world. However, nothing pleased her more lately than the monotony of working in routine.

Awenha’s dark brown eyes narrowed she watched the program actuate then suddenly error. She continued to reboot the nano-modulator to catch the crappy trip scan that occurred when it booted up. The Joint Counter Terrorist Centre did not hire her to half-ass the stuff they dumped on her. Awenha had finally found her footing among the agency staff by proving her techniques and standards were just what the JCT needed to supplant divisive groups. But today she had spent a sixteen hour shift in a concrete building with recycled air eating days old left over tofu casserole that Carol brought once a month. However, she had to remind herself that top brass recruited her right out of the private sector and she had the same work for more money in Berlin.

Today, she needed the distraction. The side of her temple pounded as she rubbed at it. Anything really could pull her attention away her Project 458. And it would have been a sound reason to get off this floor.

“Hey, Dr. Broussard is coming into day with the Austrian terrorist.” Brock lazily strode in and tossed a file over on her metal desk. Awenha glanced over at the folder before typing up the final command before rebooting the device for hopefully the very last time.

The name Broussard kicked around in her memory. He had written a book about the criminal mind and the correlations of earlier childhood development. Something she had read in University with a typical dust cover with a morose bespectacled Dr Broussard on the back. But what he wrote was nothing much of a topic until she deviled deeper into his more controversial theories. Which she enjoyed more as they veered into the impossible, but she appreciated it.

“I wonder how long he will be here, I want to meet him.” She chimed in, then excitedly through a fist in the air.

“I got it! Finally, victory.” Awenha even jumped a bit as she walked toward Brock with the device. “Here, take this down to the team to deconstruct this thing. I want to know the origin of the code and where it is applied.”

Brock’s eyes didn’t blink as he stared at her. A subtle arch in is thin blonde eye brow gave away his blank expression.

“You can’t just walk down there. They’ve been hunting this man for ages.” Brock took the playing card sized ear shaped machine and shook his head at her. “It’s lock down time.”

“I’ll see how far I get.” She shrugged. “The worst that could happen is they turn me around. Then no loss.”

+ + +

Her blue lab coat, and floppy badge gained her access passed every guard on her way to see that doctor of an obscure field of psychiatry. But she walked where her feet carried her though. She had never known a door too locked, a path too blocked that she couldn't get around. The area was busy with almost every agent in the building that was capable of firing a weapon. Awenha stirred with anticipation as she shifted her weight to the left nervously searching for the doctor.

“Sublevel 4, east wing! The blast paneling should hold him.” An armored man shouted from her left. Her eyes moved to the agents with guns and body armor escorting a large bullet proof containment cell and within it a man with jaw length hair with the saddest eyes she had seen in awhile. A tall statuesque man took long strides across the entry floor. Steve Rogers, Cap, steely eyed determination and absolute trust in his decisions held the gaze of the man he approached. He was certainly bigger in real time, she thought, as her eyes followed him across the facility.

And then her gaze settled upon a man, lean with glasses and a badge. He was walking in her direction and she eagerly stepped up to him. “Dr. Broussard?” she asked hastily.

The man didn’t stop at first, he offered a glance. His eyes shifted in the direction of the containment cell before he stopped and began to address her.

“Yes?” he asked.

Awenha’s eyes quickly glanced over his features, pale skin, two days worth of beard growth, thin faced, and his eyes darkened the longer she held his attention. This was not Dr. Broussard. She knew what he looked like on the dust cover. And the who now stood in front of her was not the dumpy doctor. Something was wrong here. Her mind raced at the implication of what she was discovering.

“You—You’re taller than I had expected. Sorry.” she stammered.

His expression changed quickly from curious to dangerous has he became uncomfortably close to her face.

“Dr. Tiakan is it? Counter terrorist biological division, floor 12; section 3?” He said in a thick accent she couldn’t place. She saw his hand reach up and hold her badge. “So, it would be easy to find you. In this building or outside of it.”

Everything about this man was presented in an air of threats and promises to harm. Awenha took a step back from him. Surprise and shock interrupted clearer thinking. And without another word spoken between them she turned to return to the safety of her lab.

+ + +

Awenha attempted a confident untroubled stride against the bundle of anxiety that formed in her mind. She held her chin up, focused her eyes on the on the path in front of her. Even so, she tried not to think about the man. Though it was never really in her personality to not act, her thoughts stilled at the consequences of not reporting. Doubt surfaced that perhaps she was wrong. Her instincts told her she was not. The man’s eyes and body language bore all the tale-tale signs of subterfuge, how could she be wrong? There could be only one course of action that was required. Awenha practically ran through her lab as soon as she entered the door toward her station. A quick search in the data base showed exactly the face of Dr. Broussard she had known. But wouldn't command know this? She asked her self. And the man who was now with this solider, the man who had threatened her, was not the good doctor.

Awenha bit at her fingernail as she stood in front of the screen. Her mind raced as she thought about command and who she could confide in. Her independence had been basically dependent on knowing those who could keep her in the position she wanted. Those few people pulled strings not ropes. Awenha rarely left her lab other than to eat and the only person she saw in command more than once was agent Natasha Romannoff. Awenha knew about her well enough not to speak about her life in great detail; the woman had a legendary memory. And the Avenger had been to her lab at least four times in the last year, so perhaps she could be trusted.

Awenha walked to her phone, picked it up and pressed the button for command when the phone cut off. The room fell dark and flashing emergency lights kicked on. It was silent. And it was a significant soundless feeling of apprehension that began to roll over her. It felt tense in her small lab, contrast to normal lighting everything was bathed in the dim lighting of emergency backup power with flashing red alert from the hall. She had been in action alerts before, several, but this felt different. A pointedly amount of fear began to surge through her and igniting her adrenal glands to call her into a flight or fight response.

Gun fire echoed down the hall in section 4.

Awenha ran back across her small lab to the half open door and then out into the hall. A few people ran, others closed their labs quickly, and then she saw a man. Centered in the hall, submerged in minimum lighting with crimson alarms shadowed across his features, he was walking with purpose in her direction. He filled the corridor, tall and stocky with power in his legs that only carried him faster than Awenha could process. A few seconds passed before Awenha began to piece together what this was. She was either in the way or his target. And yet, the false Dr Broussard couldn’t possibly believe her to be any real threat to his plans.

But then the man began to run.

Awenha dashed back into the safety of the lab she pushed her body upon the heavy metal door forcing it to shut. Before she could respond to what happened, Awenha was thrown back by the force of the man kicking the door open. She crashed backward into the nearby workstation, sending equipment and paperwork off the other side and clattering to the floor.

Terrified, she lunged for a gray crowbar underneath the diagnostic table. Adrenalin and fear moved her to swing haphazardly even before she was completely aware of the location of the threat. Her instincts were rewarded when she hit flesh, then another swipe Awenha bashed the man across the chest.

Her heart skipped a beat when she couldn’t retract the bar. Brown eyes traveled the length of the metallic bar to a hand. Silver material shined under the glow of emergency lighting in the shape of a fist that was wrapped tightly around the crow bar. Her ragged breathing was the sound she heard the loudest in this moment. Fear kept her still as she stared at the man.

Shaggy dark brown hair fell around a square white face with a rough beard. His thick brows above light eyes laid flat in zero expression. Oh god, she thought. Dull eyes were dilated to black in the low light. Dark pools swallowed her attention and focus and caused basic reflexes to grind to an agonizing halt.

His lips pulled back over white teeth as the man drew back his flesh right arm. The loud smack of his closed fist hit her left jaw, instantly smooth brown skin bruised. Stars and sparks blasted into her vision. The impact sent her into the wall behind the closed door, knocking the bar from her hand. He was on her before she could articulate the pain she was in. Her eyes rolled from the cement ceiling to the white door of her lab. Heavy eyes blinked back tears as her head lulled back in his direction.

The man gripped the collar of her blue lab coat he snapped her head back as he dragged her against him. Trembling hands pushed back on him. Thoughts of action came and went as adrenalin rushed through her veins. She kneed him in the groin but he did not react. Her dark brown eyes widened as he drew her closer to his face. More forcefully she pushed against his broad chest. Teary eyed and terrified she stared at him silently as she twisted her body in his grip. He held her tighter. He was hard like a wall, immovable.

The sound of his voice, short, clipped and feral rumbled in her ears. “It was easy to find you.” he said.

“I won’t say anything!” She pleaded and fought harder against his hold.

By only the collar of the coat the man shoved her to the floor so hard she heard the bones of her right wrist crack on impact. Hurt and scared her entire body shook. The beginning of tears poured into her eyes as she began to look around her immediate area.

Okoye’s smooth commanding voice filtered into her thoughts. Fight, anything can be a weapon you just have to be present in your surroundings.

Wild eyes landed on the compression spanner on the next workstation, it could be lethal in the right hands. It really could, she tried to convince herself. When triggered the blue plasma it radiated could burn hotter than a torch. Awenha bit past the pained wrist as she scrambled across the floor. Conquering the fear that threatened to stop her, Awenha started to sprint away from the man.

The sound of tearing and the splinting of her shin was heard first before she felt it. The pain swallowed her scream, her body jerked once again as a painful blow to her back and shoulders hammered the breath right out of her. Stunned and beaten into submission her body crumpled to the floor. Eyes wide in shock Awenha breathed, panic set in when she couldn’t feel if she was taking in air. Her hot swollen face pressed against the cool concrete floor she laid there and gasped for air. Crushing pressure across her back had her gripping the floor.

I don’t want to die. I don't want to die, her mind churned.

The tangy smell of iron filled her nose as slowly her breath returned. But the vibration of footfalls shifted her eyes in the direction of the man. She could see the detail on his dark boots, the trail of dust collecting the in nooks of the laces and shiny black speckles covered the tops. With a rough shove of his boot into her right shoulder he pushed her over.

“Stop!” Awenha’s mangled voice whimpered painfully in her throat.

Blood exploded from her mouth. His cold calculating eyes roamed over her body. She wondered what he was thinking. Her mind tripped over what could possibly be going through someone like him. His polished metal hand tighten into a fist. The mechanical hiss of servos whirled in the silence of the room. The feeling of dread shifted her eyes to his face. Sweat dripped from his nose as it flared, his jaw flexed. A sob rattled through her chest at the sight of him. Awenha raised a shaky hand, palm open in a show of surrender.

She flinched when he quickly stepped over her, straddled her body as he towered above her. His were eyes vacant of any of emotion. Seemingly lifeless eyes traced along her mouth, neck, and chest. Awenha’s mind raced as she saw his focus flicker down further to her body.

What did he want? Her mind reached for explanation. Anything to quiet the violent flashbacks of events that proceeded this moment. He was unreadable throughout the attack but here, now she knew from his roving gaze that he desired. The beating in her chest rushed blood to her head; she sucked in air hard trying to clear her mind. She couldn’t stop staring at him, unbelievable terror ripped through her mind at what the future held. The promise of continued strife and suffering lasted in the air between them. And with growing alarm tears began to pool around her eyes that blurred and darkened the image of him into a fuzzy outline. Not knowing what would happen next instantly made her nauseated. Awenha clinched her eyes against the feeling of sick. She tried to imagine anything but what had occurred.

She fought through the seizing feeling of faint when he fell to his knees. Her focus became the dull gray ceiling. She thought of the first time she entered the lab. Battling against the feeling of his hands pulling and tugging at the top of her blouse she tried to remember but lost it. His body was incredibly hot as he laid on her. Awenha made little effort to fight when he forced his body weight on her hard, the weight of him rushed out any air she was holding in. With a rough unlovable knee he kicked her rigid thighs apart to accommodate his lower half.

In her last stand, she resisted by turning her head at the feeling of his humid breath on her lips. Soft, warm, panting cascaded over her face as she moved to stop the scent from invaded her nose. -sweat, metal, and hot skin. His dry lips hovered over her ear; she could hear him swallow his breaths came more erratic in his intentions for her body.

She squeezed her eyes tight at the sound of his grunt.

A painful tug across the sensitive skin of her folds shot her eyes open. She heard one last rip and jumped under his weight as he tore her underwear from her body. A tattered scream flooded from her mouth but was quickly silenced with a strong clamp of his metal hand along her jaws. He dug in the edges of his metal fingers into her skin. Agonized resistance moved her body even when her mind had accepted her fate. Legs kicked, and the action shot searing pain up her right leg as a gargled moan escaped past the squeezing in her jaw. Still she bucked her hips against the attacker to gain distance.

His metal hand gripped her face hard forcing her to focus entirely on him and it stilted her motions. In this hell-scape moment she recognized that his eyes were blue- crystal blue, glassy and emotionless. Then she felt him painfully enter her body. She openly wept, tears streamed down the corner of wide eyes that remained fixed on vacant blue eyes. His breath was warm on her lips and moist in her nose. Awenha’s head jerked but could not move as he squeezed her jaw harder. She felt the warmth of his flesh hand casually caressed away a curly bunch of hair that covered the side of her face. His eyes fixated on her, she felt his hand return as he cupped the side of her head with every push. His eyes drifted in expressions between knowing and lust as he took her. It was different, a hint that his actions had emotional consequence for him.

Her vision was being consumed with him. There was no escaping him, no rescue, and no hope in her. The bumping motions of his hair as it glided around his damp face tickled her cheeks. But she was grateful for the sensation because for the rest of her had gone numb. Awenha’s mind tried to grasp at a memory, far removed from the hell of now. Bits and pieces of it filtered into her reality as she struggled to hang on to it. But it was ripped away when she felt his lips press against her. A small removed action that seemed foreign to him and yet did not stop him. She did not respond to his seemingly tender kisses and was met with harder pushing, a greedy action articulated with each painful plunge.

She heard him grumble low, his eyes fluttered shut as his mouth held against her as his motions halted. He opened his eyes; they were different now as he gazed down at her. Awareness shifted under hooded eyes and as quickly as she had witnessed it was replaced with a void of emotion. He freed her jaw and the pressure of his metal arm on her chest released as he put his weight on it and to stand. Awenha stared at him as he stared back at her. For a moment they locked eyes as if neither could occupy the meaning they both experienced. There was neither remorse, nor any sign that the crime he had committed affected him in any way other than raised his heartbeat.

And still his blue eyes watched. He stepped over her, cautiously retreating back toward the door never turning his back. And then she saw his eyes soften for a moment when he paused. Suddenly he looked away, his back straightened, his eyes returned to the blank expression. Awenha did not move quickly instead she pulled her lab coat around her chest. It was incredibly silent a part from her ragged breathing. She recoiled at his abrupt movement away from her as the man threw open the door and disappeared.

ill elaborate on this over the day i think but im very mixed on what i think about the w.i.t.c.h. reboot but uh. its mostly negative

first off, this is partially coming from a place of im just a fan of the comic and already didnt care for the tv show.

i mean... i liked the show as a kid because it was what got me into the series, but once i picked up the comics i knew it had my heart and it couldnt compare. (its very similar to how i felt about fma03 > going into the manga after)

but anyway, i think the reboot is of all things, just disney being lazy in making new ips of course. if theyre doing a full rework of the plot, characters, and costumes, why not just make a new magical girl comic? oh because of the obvious theyve been testing the popularity of the comic by rereleasing it over the past couple years, and now the ip is recognized enough again that they can use it to their advantage. definitely in the wake of winx getting their reboot (which i also think is unnecessary but i think the circumstances may have been different. which leads me to..)

i worry about what theyre going to do with the story in general. if its anything like the later half of the comic (ie new power onward) iiiiiii dont know if we need that. i personally dont think that was the strongest era of the story. it, unsurprisingly, came off as an attempt to haha... copy the winx by doing power upgrades and becoming even more glittery and pink and what i would call a typical "girls piece of media"

ofc side note nothing bad with that but again leading into another point

heh.. the treatment of the original team. its early and i dont quite remember all of the details but i do know that they were done dirty. I know for sure it involved barbucci and canepa, unsure if gnone was involved as well, but disney took that series from them. as far as i know, that series was their baby and disney plucked it apart into something they never intended it to be. barbucci and canepa haved regularly talked about their dislike of disney and their personal beef with them as a direct result of what happened with w.i.t.c.h.

it was their dark fantasy series that disney wanted to girlie-pop-ify to most likely have it compete with winx directly. completely going against what the team envisioned leading to their ? departure from disney. im personally not quite sure if they quit on their own or if disney fired them to make room for a more cooperative team but Still. the point still stands: disney is shitty in this situation

so just from the inital description and seeing will's transformed resign, it looks like... it will most likely go in the direction of being a direct winx competitor again and will continue to take the story in a completely different direction than it was originally intended to be. some part of me hopes tho that because will looks like an edgy hot topic kid that maaaaaybe theyll have some darker tone to it but uh.... again disneys reputation makes me think that wont happen lmao

if they really cared enough they would literally be like sorry og team, here do what u wanted. because uh. at least barbucci and canepa still regulary post about w.i.t.c.h. and share fanart and stuff so theyre still interested imo (again i havent followed up with gnone over the years but im sure she'd be on board)

i reaaaaally want to know if they even knew their series was gonna be rebooted like this or i guess however it ends up being. god i would do anything to read the nda they signed when splitting with disney.

but eh i also hope its good just for the sake it wooooould be cool to have new w.i.t.c.h. content (again sad its not like a comic accurate tv adaptation or like... the og teams work) buuuuuut this is suuuuch a comfort series to me so i wanna hope for the best

my nostalgia is probably ruining it for me and the fact ill already rant about how i hate the cartoon adaptation now dkdbksbf but eh i wanted to just dump my thoughts before starting my work day

#sorry if this shows up in the tags #dont read unless ur a hater jk jk jk #im the number 1 witch fan #i made this whole post back when the winx netflix dropped and people wanted a witch reboot #and i was like uh. get barbucci and canepa on the phone and thats the only correct way to do it #also me fksbdkdbf i would make a great witch reboot #LITERALLY MY WHOLE Floretwitch brand is bc im love witches bc of this series #jfjdjfnf theyre guardians but u get it #witchrebootthoughts

Christ im just. too excited i just went and did this, im glad that this blog has managed to stay up to date, glad that people still find stuff on here funny or good or decent, and im glad overall that i still have friends here that remain, i am sorry everyone for not being as active as i’d like to be, i wANT to be more active, really. i do. it’s just been... yeah, a bit hard at the moment. but lord... i’ve been here... probably since the start of the game itself in essence... and just over-time. the blog has grown into SO much more. im proud of what was gained, and what was had, the people i met along the way, people that i still keep in touch with, they helped me so much with ideas, lore, advice, and mentally helped me overall become a better and more mature person than how i was in 2017 and onwards. im proud to have made it this far, 6 whole years ever since this whole blog began, and it’s anniversary is coming in two months, 5 and a half years or so since this blog and AU started, and in just two months, it’s gonna be 6 years old... a lot has changed, a lot HAS been changing, me making the story and AU feel more grounded in some manner to the actual games but still having some elements of the original AU’s script intact. originally this blog was just meant as a simple modern retelling of bendy and the ink machine. told through asks, and ofc, after the events of ink machine AND i guess dark revival at this point, and you’ve all, watched me, and these characters i’ve used, to grown and mature and evolved over time. becoming more than what they were. becoming basically special. i hold them all dearly ro my heart, i loved using these guys, and i love the interactions they have, including Prowler’s. he’s made so many friends on here. so many relationships, and yet. only a few remained. the only ones he found again, were my boys @ask-modern-demon @ask-soul-bendy @ask-the-demon-of-joey-studios and @onexeyedxtwin ‘s own bendys but even then. i still remember the memories and interactions that they all had overall. but.. thank you all. thank every single one of you, this blog has grown so much, and i hope that over-time. it will continue to grow as i improve the AU a lot more, to make it truly a lot more better than it really is, with that being said. in order for me to truly make some of these stories in the blog matter i have but one simple announcement. throughout this time frame. i have only truly ever completed was FOUR arcs, the first was the halloween crossover arc, the second was the recovery arc, back when i had prowler with the purple eye. and the third arc that was the more recent ones, was the Faded arc, despite how shortlived it was. and of course. most recently in last late last year or so. maybe in late 2021 or something. Prowler’s Revenge Arc, the rest of the arcs after? either never went anywhere, or were eventually scrapped and discontinued. that being said, i am going to be remaking an very old arc on here. to have it fit in MORE with the new lore and a hint of things to come in the memory loss arc and the finale of the lanky saga overall. i am going to be merging both the halloween crossover, AND the recovery arc, into one story that i’ll be making over-time, ofc it’ll probably be published after i finally finish the new and improved main story AND the one people have probably been asking for in secret. my take on Dark revival in this AU. it is coming, and the reboot to the OG story will be a thousand times more better than how it was originally. but yeah, i am going to be rebooting and merging two of those old completed arcs, into an story of sorts cause i do NOT want to scroll all the way down to the halloween posts and remake them all, because one it would take forever, and two. i simply genuinely don’t know how else to make it better so. the old halloween arc will simply just be an standard halloween thing with prowler being over-reactive, the REAL story to that arc, will be posted sometime whenever i have a grasp of what to do, obviously im not keeping in the crossover, that just ain’t right. hence why im merging in both the recovery and halloween arc into one story. i dunno when each ‘chapter’ will be posted but i guess expect it as things yet to come before we finally put an end to the lanky saga, and have things go back to a bit more normal and happy go lucky around blog, i love the comedy, i love the interactions, and the asks that makes my characters just question their own reality JGDFKHFKHKFH, and i miss that, i felt like i made this blog WAY too serious real fast. but yeah. that’s all, thank you all. for being here with me, from start to present, it’s been nearly 6 years since this blog began, and we have finally done it, finally made it to 1k, and im just... happy, so... again. thank you all. i mean it.

stay safe out there people. this is toon, your friendly tired artist and writer, and friend, here’s to hoping the rest of 2023 won’t be me becoming an cryptid again LOL... but yeah. thank you one and all, i mean it. even to my friends. you all helped me grow as a person, and so... with that... one last time before i finish this post... thank you. every single one of you... that is all! hope you all are excited, i know i am.

#psa #Important posts #think i'll be going than make these pipes stop flowing! (ooc posts)#what the heck is this?

I will sound like I am 45 and not 25 ofc, but to be truthful, I am heading towards losing my joy and passion as a fan-artist. It is about the fandoms as a concept in general, without applying it to any specific one. More like about, WHAT fandoms are by now.

I tend to dive into a game/show/whatever ears deep because as an autist I interact with a lot of concepts vicariously through fiction, but also because I just have this natural wish to respect and love (revere, even) something, and complicated creative works that combine several art types work just well. But fandoms are... bad. They are just bad. Now this is absolutely normal for some gremlin that doesn't know anything about the source material to jump in and start to do their thing - be it being super inaccurate to begin with, breaking the source material to replace with their agenda and tastes, or simply spam a lot of samey, 'soulless'(?) fanart with clear clout in mind to, as kids call it, "build the platform" so they can let the STONKS roll in and promote their own stuff at last if they have it.

Like... This is what fandoms ARE by now. Halfway the grinding ground to gain following to sell commissions to, halfway a ground to spread politics and opinions. Business or propaganda. Not a matter of whether products and propaganda are for good things, they're value neutral concepts and can be used for good or bad equally, but both are not ABOUT the source material. Okay, not fully halfway - some ears-deep fans still are here. But why even? When we, actual fans, give people essays on why they are drastically wrong about a character - we get mocked for not having (highlight the correct: real life, girlfriend, touched the grass, job, all applies). When we demand respect and accuracy to the source material - we are called snobbish entitled gatekeepers at least, accused of various isms and phobias at large. When we try to encourage something deeper and more interesting - again, people tell us we are "boring" and that no one cares about this or that character, and outright boast about how they are only here for this sexy man or for that ship and not really lore dive.

Even basically ancient fandoms like Doctor Who, Star Wars or Star Trek that sprouted THANKS TO those exact "30+ loosers with no life" could no longer uphold the whole ears-deep fan mentality because new installments invited too much shallow fans that are prone to mocking too, and celebrities that are responsible for making awful reboots/continuations can just violate the source however they want under cover of "everyone who doesn't like it is just a sexist and racist incel". This is just how it is now. Passion, elaborate knowledge on the source and respect for a thing truly great creative minds created are now considered DIRTY things, and are a proof of one's inferiority in accomplishments and personality. Because fandoms are no longer a place to gather FANS. They are "platforms".

I just consider, would it be more fun to either invest in the fandoms for real people (composers, poets, scientists, etc) where loving the source material for what it is is a requirement (because...... real people... historical accuracy....), or to just head towards creation my own thing sooner than later? I got to say though, I am thankful for each and every fan in whatever fandom I visited that was/is just as passionate as me. It felt, and still feels less lonely to have more people that don't see shame in REALLY fucking loving stories and characters.

#fandomry rambles #internets #/vent #originally did not want to even write something like this because i sound like an old lady #a GRUMPY old lady actually #but ehhhhh. my blog.#i just dont see what is so wrong about really loving a creation instead of just using it #why can't someone make their life more colorful by being passionate about a thing #i start to feel like 'gatekeeping is bad' was a lie sold to us #to destroy a very valid practice of people analyzing fiction into absurd depths #also about 'ancient fandoms':#no brainer that i did not catch the geeks stuff personally #generally speaking i just encountered some old fans complaining about how-#-fandoms 'used to be better' and saw them as silly old men that can't move on dhgkhkkh #but at this point i feel like i get what they were talking about #that they were bullied out of fandoms they CREATED by people that dont get the source material #even soulsborne fandom ended up pulling people that will MOCK real fans #like.... okay? then why ARE you here if no-lifing bloodborne lore is so bad?#siiiiiiigh #this post is so old lady that typing this made my back sore ghkughjjn /hj #but it is how it is #also i have a friend from another fandom with apparently the same kind of autism as mine #and she constantly has the same problem xd #the whole 'wait you guys dont LOVE this game and came here to beat it into your own thing?'#in bloodborne it is poor gehrman and maria who became the biggest display of the whole-#-real fans vs people who just are here to yell and grind fanbase #i feel like real fans got bad name BECAUSE they can be really rude in the name of fiction #but look at the fake fans! they likewise can be pretty rude but they ALSO drag politics into it!

If they ever go back to spn reboot i dont think it Will be the same type ”macho white cis men” as it was. Misha would not want That and jensen would not want That either. I think they would have demands on more female and poc and lgbtq+ being apart of it. I dont think we have to worry about bad rep in a reboot. The only thing i worry about is That it wont happen and many of the favorits of mine no longer want or can do it.

yeah that's what i meant to say as well! i think they can't afford to make it as "macho white cis men" as it was anymore, and if jensen has any say in it (which he would), that wouldn't happen either

i think a lot of people had expressed interest in spnwin so i think they'd be on board for a continuation too. idk who your favourites are ofc but i think most of them would love to return (if for no other reason, it's still a job). tho i am scared kathryn newton would indeed be too busy :(

#i'm pretty positive CM will do anything they can to make it happen #so i hope that'll be enough

so i have only seen that one transformers movie with shia labeouf. where do i start for the Good stuff. i am fascinated by starscream.

cracking *every* single bone in my body anon this is gonna be long I'm so sorry

Ok so there's a FANTASTIC post here about where to start if you're not sure where to. In my humble opinion, this post on Reddit is also super helpful- because, unfortunately, transformers comes with 800 continuities like Marvel- and ofc that's gonna happen to a 30-year-old franchise, so it's confusing. but in THAT CASE, if you're confused, youtuber Chris McFeely has an entire series called Transformers: The Basics which has short, easily digestible videos on certain continuities, characters, and plot devices while remaining fairly spoiler free- obviously, there are gonna be spoilers, but for the most part they're pretty spoiler free and help establish certain lore things if you're confused! Though hopefully you won't need it too much based on what I'm giving you here, cause I know getting into a series and instantly having to do homework just sucks

Whats fun about the TF cartoons is that for the most part, each one is in their own continuity, so any prior knowledge isn't really required because they do end up telling you how the rules of the world works. For fun awesome Starscream content in particular for COMICS, he plays a HUGE role in the IDW comics- IDW 1 in particular has some choice screamer moments, those comics start with More Than Meets The Eye #1 and Lost Light #1.

If you don't want to give all your time and energy to a comic, there's also cartoons! Transformers Animated is a 2007 cartoon made by the ben 10 and teen titans crew, it moves like ass but its writing is undeniably solid. Starscream is voiced by tom kenny and he's an absolute DELIGHT i love him. Transformers Prime is the grim, edgy reboot made in 2010- and I haven't seen this one yet so I can't fully recommend it, but this is the one that the fandom has latched onto the most from what I've seen. Transformers (1984) is fantastic if you're looking to giggle and are into the weird memes, like 80% of the starscream being a weirdo compilation videos are from this.

Luckily most- if not all- the cartoons have their own comic tie ins if you're still starved for content for that particular run!

If you Can stomach early 90's television CGI, cause I know that's a giant turn off for some, I recommend Beast Wars with my whole damn chest- it's my favorite, the writing is just hands down fantastic, its smaller cast means you get some serious development, and its a great place to start and understand the context behind the new Rise of the Beasts movie!

A really GREAT CGI series that just came out that also lacks the starscream content is Transformers Earthspark!! Its definitely got a kids show vibe to it (mostly in how lessons are handled and conveyed to the audience) but its got a lot of fun, more family-oriented moments for older audiences to enjoy, and really interesting lore implications for older tf fans as well (Like genuinely how they're handling Megatron and Optimus is so fascinating to me I could go on a tangent about how good they are as foils here) the fight scenes are incredible, the representation is so good, and I think Robby and Mo are the least annoying TF kid characters, I would die for them. Downside, it's only streaming on paramount plus rn.

also literally all these series are available to stream for free on tubi (except earthspark)

HOPEFULLY this was helpful, I'm very new to the fandom myself so I'm still learning a lot, but I hope you like the silly robot show- I haven't had this much fun with a piece of media for awhile :)

#ty anon for letting me ramble ajbgdhsbgjdfs #transformers posting #transformers #maccadam #shoe.txt

bunny anon gets their own separate post answering their asks because i absolutely adore them and i don’t want to miss a single ask from them <3

are we the same person because oh my god same?? you and i have amazing taste in women and kinks, my lovely bunny <3

GAZ NATION RISE UP!!! but really, it’s so frustrating that gaz is shoved aside so often because he and price are the most fleshed out members of the 141 (in this timeline ofc)?? the first game is literally all about them and the second game still heavily features them towards the latter half of it? i would argue that gaz is the most fleshed out character of the 141 overall. we see him struggle with his own morals, stand up to and continuously question authority, and (depending on your choices in the game) we can even see him tossing aside his morals in favor of getting revenge like?? he’s SUCH a wonderfully complex character. he was the first 141 member we were introduced to in this timeline (along with price). sweet baby boy deserves so much better from the fandom and i will forever be bitter about it

the man has an entire BAKERY BADONKADONK and you expect me to not be hypnotized by it?? i would become a petty thief just to have nightwing up close and personal wtf?? like “oh nooooo mr. nightwing sir please don’t pin my hands behind my back and push me up against a wall what a tragedy” meanwhile he thinks i’m struggling against him but i’m really just trying to get a peak at that bat booty

i do read the comics! jason todd has been a special interest for me since i was like 13 so i made it my person mission to read any comic featuring him aslkfjsdfh

i would say essential jason-centric comics are: a death in the family, red hood: the lost days, batman: under the red hood (there’s also an animated movie adaptation of it that’s fairly faithful to the comics), green arrow: seeing red, teen titans: life and death, and the new 52 red hood and the outlaws

my personal favorites are: batman: death in the family (not to be confused with the OG a death in the family—this is a new 52 reboot), red hood and the outlaws: rebirth, batman: under the red hood, red hood: the lost days, batman: urban legends, red hood/arsenal, task force z, batman: battle for the cowl, night of the owls: red hood and the outlaws, batman: three jokers, and wayne family adventures (the most lighthearted and fandomy of any comics but it’s so sweet and nice to see them act like a semi-functional family idc idc)

as always, different writers will have different takes on different characters, and jason todd seems to be one of the more polarizing one of the dc universe. anything from his original death to how he was revived to what he was like as robin to what his hair color is, is subject to change to depending on the writer. but the one thing that remains is: he does what the batman is afraid to do and he looks damn good doing it <3

#❀.anon!#♡.🐇 anon #my sweet bunny i’ve missed you so <3 #i’m always happy to give comic recs btw!#i love love love comics books!#i know it’s a little intimidating to get into them since there’s so many and everyone thinks their favorite is the best #but tbh anything with jason is my favorite <3

the listeners and what game i think they’d enjoy

freelancer: animal crossing

likes to make everything appealing. although they have no clue how so they’re trying okay.

loves collecting the animals, keeps the ones they think look cool.

gavin, lasko, damien and huxley help decorate the island, although damien takes it a little too seriously and makes sure the island is spotless all the time.

loves making outfits for themselves. if the others have animal crossing too, they make them outfits as well.

darlin: fnaf

hands down foxy and roxy are their favourite. montgomery is up there somewhere.

hates chica for some reason

made ocs when they were younger based on what their wolf form looks like. does not talk about them.

sweetheart: resident evil

the want to be a detective was there even as a child.

their dad let them watch him play resident evil when they were 4. did not care or mind. was hooked on detective things since.

hasn’t got the time to play them so they watch youtubers play them. loved the reboot of resident evil 2.

babe: nintendo dogs

birthday present when they were 9

every so often they come back to their game and see their golden labrador rush to them. the pure nostalgia cripples them.

tries to play it all the time. takes their dog for walks every week. loves bathing them.

asher wonders who’s this new dog and why they’re taking babe from him >:(

angel: terraria

this was kinda obvious. they like minecraft so ofc they’d like terraria.

teaches david how to play it as well. he’s gobsmacked at how big their house is.

tells them to get a life LMFAO

love: plague inc

they love seeing the world turn into chaos and dying left and right.

people are concerned at what this could mean but from uh cough current events, they just assume its their way of coping.

they love amping up the difficulty just to see how far they can go.

they’re right, it is concerning.

cutie: every sonic game

a big gamer. very big.

loves all kind of retro games, but sonic takes the cake.

they don’t even like sonic the character the most, they like tails more.

thought the sonic movie was decent, watched it for the laughs. geordi was forced to come with ofc.

mentor/baby/whatever the fuck their name is: clash of clans

imagining the workplace being relatively quiet and all of a sudden the them song plays.

their aunt gave them her account so they went “why not”

now they’re unironically addicted.

smartass: super smash bros

only reason they play this is to see the annoyed and frustrated expression aaron makes.

they find it hilarious. aaron knows this.

they main kirby and it pisses aaron off even more.

baby: don’t starve

doesn’t understand why they like this

reminds them of something. but what?

they don’t care and continue playing it, feels nice somehow

sunshine: bad end theatre

the couple at the end reminds them of them and elliott.

the game is so pretty to them. they love the concept.

the game is a comfort for them

starlight: there is no game

the player is exactly like them. it makes them happy.

loves tormenting the narrator.

the game is refreshing for them.

#redacted asmr #redacted headcanons #redacted darlin #redacted angel #redacted freelancer #redacted sweetheart #redacted cutie #redacted starlight #redacted smartass #redacted love #redacted babe #redacted baby #redacted sunshine

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right place to say this, but I don't know if there is. And you're a smart person and critical thinker who has talked about this before. If this is totally weird, you can just delete it ofc. I've never properly watched Supergirl but I started reading fanfic around the time my mental health got real bad so it was a comfort thing I didn't bring too much thought to. I really identify with Lena and in the past, part of me has understood her actions-

and I know that they're wrong. The anti-alien rhetoric is obviously an allegory for racism or homophobia. She's violated people's basic human rights. And I'm scared that I'm a bad person because sometimes, I kind of get it. Which is insane because i'm a lesbian enby of color, i mean i get targeted by most of the -ist/ism actions. And I'm also too tired to think about things critically all the time. Supercorp was my comfort fic, content thing-

I knew it was problematic (the whole James thing makes me sick to my stomach, scared and sad) but I didn't know that Lena as a character was written that way. The metaphors never really clicked in my head because I never thought about it, but now I feel absolutely horrible about myself because I like and identify with Lena. I'm not really sure how to move on from here- I'm just tired. I wish there could be just one thing, one piece of media that wasn't prejudiced (granted sg is not the place to go if you want decent rep and the like) and all of those things I said earlier. Its just me somehow trying to justify how I felt and empathized with something I shouldn't have. So yeah, sorry that was really long. I hope you have a lovely day- sorry for the spam

FIRST of all, you’re fine, babe! Both in sending me this and in enjoying The Bad Media. That’s my thesis here: You’re fine. With this in mind, let’s unpack this big ol suitcase:

We’re living in a fandom moment where more than ever before, we’re thinking about the ideas we consume in fiction and how they may or may not affect us. This is a net positive! Fiction is not reality, but it undeniably impacts it, so for this and many other reasons, we should always think critically about what resonates with us and why. Does this mean dissecting every facet of something to find all the ways it might fall in line with oppressive power structures? Absolutely not.

You, as an individual, do not owe anyone an explanation for why you enjoy anything. Period. How you relate to a given character or why you like them is nobody's business but your own.

Supergirl, as a piece of media, is singularly awful in its lackluster lipservice to progressivism while simultaneously refusing to deliver any progressive themes. Socially and politically, it is a useless liberal wet dream. Kara is an immigrant from a dead culture working as the muscle for a secret FBI offshoot with zero accountability for all of the other aliens in diaspora she has rounded up and dumped into a cell without trial. Alex is allegedly a lesbian, but the key points of her endgame relationship are constantly deemed not important enough to get screen time, which is made even more absurd when examined from the angle that this series is marketed directly toward LGBT people. An embarrassing percentage of villains on this show are women of color, which is particularly loud when there are only 2 women in the main cast who aren't white. And "main" is extremely generous, given that Kelly is just there to Give Advice Good and everything M'gann says and does is as dry as toast.

My point here is that the whole show is rotted to its roots, and whatever quietly libertarian or even fascism-enabling bullshit they push onto Lena in a given week is par for the crusty, shitty course. Kara deciding that she's ok with the alien detection device because "there are bad aliens" is a lovely (read: awful) microcosm of why this show sucks so fucking hard. "People are entitled to their opinions" is for debates on whether pineapple goes on pizza, not for whether we should casually out, endanger, and disenfranchise our [insert minority metaphor here] because some of them are mean.

But what I would love for this fandom to wrap its head around, and what I hope you understand, anon, is that just because it happens on the show, doesn't mean we have to give a rat's ass about it. What the hell is The Canon, anyway? Especially in the case for Supergirl, which can't even get its own continuity right. Especially for an IP that has been rebooted dozens of times before and will be rebooted again in the future. We can just decide that Lena realized the horrible injustices she enabled through her position of power. We can even decide that they just didn't happen at all! This is all fake. It's not set in stone. Who came up with it, anyway? A network with a list of buzzwords they want included and a couple of D-tier showrunners cranking down caffeine to meet an absurdly tight deadline. It's not special. I can guarantee that you care about it infinitely more than they do, and you haven't even watched the damn show.

On a more personal level, people who are hurt, depressed, or traumatized have always and will always look for themselves in fiction. Myself included! And despite what lofty platitudes there may be on the matter, suffering does not make us kind. It does not make us better. Sometimes it's just suffering. Often it pulls us further from who we are meant to be. Often it just makes us "worse."

Trauma has made Lena emotionally brittle. A lifetime of manipulation and abuse has taught her to compartmentalize herself and lock her feelings behind a maze of doors. When she does let love in, she accepts it so wild and vulnerable that she can't see the red flags behind the rosy lenses. She latches so hard onto people she deems virtuous that she holds them to a standard none could fulfill. Her pain has to go somewhere, so it oozes out of her, into Non Nocere, into the post-reveal rift. She's a powder keg, and Kara spent 4 years shoveling more gunpowder onto the pile while holding the match between her teeth.

And despite these fatal flaws that make perfect sense through the eyes of Lena's trauma, she is so full of love. Like Kara, her suffering did not make her kind. She is kind in spite of her suffering. These are the characters we are drawn to when we're hurting. Lena’s trauma is an inextricable part of her, but it is not all of her, and neither are her mistakes.

There truly is not and never will be a piece of media that is absolutely innocent of the harmful structures thrust upon us by society, because we ourselves also participate in that society whether we are critical of it or not, whether we strive to change it or not. I'm flawed. You're flawed. Bettering ourselves is not a journey toward an ultimate destination of perfection. It is a garden we nurture in an endless labor of love because the joy that comes from seeing it flourish and change vastly outweighs the work we put into it and the weeds popping up around its unkempt edges. This is a lesson Lena herself could probably stand to internalize. Probably with lots and lots of therapy. Lots. And lots.

So, to circle back to the start of this? You're fine. You recognized the logic in a traumatized character's mistakes because our own gravest errors more often than not stem from the ways we have been harmed in the past. It's what makes Lena (or, at the very least, the many adaptations of Lena that exist in this fandom) a good character. She is, to her core, characterized proof that a crumbling foundation and poisonous soil do not define us. Which is why watching her heal and grow and learn a healthier kind of love is so, so wonderful.

In closing, I think it's worth mentioning that being critical of media does not mean that we stop enjoying the parts of it we like. There is a lot of gold to be pulled from the steaming pile of shit that is CW Supergirl, and that's why we're all here in the first place. So I really hope you can continue to enjoy it in whatever way makes you smile <3

dating kuroo hcs

feat. very flustered kuroo

warnings: a few swear words

a/n: rue actually inspired me to write this (yk, tHAT convo about kuroo-) sO EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU RUE also i tried my best but kinda failed </3 this is hella long and i didn’t even realize it when i was writing-

☆。*。☆。

before

» sHY. that is all i have to say.

» he’ll get so flustered sometimes (like when you look extremely good that day like damn-)?? its so fvcking cute omg-

» it’s just my opinion but i feel like the fandom portraying kuroo has a literaly s*x god is really- uh- very far away from canon kuroo (pls the most badass thing he tried to do outside volleyball is picking a fight with a wild yaku)

» i don’t think he’ll be one to flirt per se

» maybe accidentally-

» but when he realizes it i feel like he’ll go all KurooTetsuro.exe has stopped working. Reboot? aND JUST SHUT DOWN ADKGJNKRJGNK

» “so then tora-kun was like- kuroo-san? are you okay?”

» “yes! please continue” while looking like manz got a fever and trying not to grin

» he might even turn as red as his jersey hAHAHA

» kenma had to lecture him to get him to confess smh

» “kuro, just confess already. y/n definitely likes you back.”

» “kYANMAAAAAAAA-”

» he probably confesses really cheesily while stuttering (or it just slipped from his mouth) so you had to literally do a double-take

» *camera zooms to the entire Boy’s VBC watching from a corner*

during

» he gives me very strong single-and-always-has-been vibes and i have no idea why

» he’ll get used to all the affection so he’ll become a little cheeky at first and always teases you

» but oh boy.

» the first time y’all held hands? disaster.

» it was probably one of those classic scenes from shoujo mangas where you’re walking really near each other and your hands brushed together

» bOY ALMOST YELPED

» he was jst thinking about how he wanted to hold your hand and??? this happened

» became so nervous his palms were sweaty

Justice League: Snyder Cut

(DISCLAIMER: MY OPINION IS MY OWN AND CAN BE DEEMED INVALID TO THOSE WHO DON’T CARE FOR IT.)

Oh, the time has come my friends! Now, I originally did a review on Batman V.S. Superman and I didn’t care for it, so I deleted it. But before I start, I would like y’all to read this statement made by @verified-villain-fxcker - You can click HERE to read it. As I stated in my repost, I couldn’t have said it better. May Autumn Snyder continue to rest in peace. Let’s get started!

It’s been so long since I’ve made a post I can’t even remember how I do this LOL.

CLARK is outta there to say the least...

WONDER WOMAN and LOIS look flabbergasted, as they should... BRUCE as well.

Talk about a shock-wave scream

All jokes aside, the hate that LEX has towards SUPERMAN is just to much energy to be giving to another person..

THESE BITCHIES ARE READY

why are they letting a minority approach the fucking the cube?!?!

*insert travel montage scene here*

Part 1 - “Don’t count on it, Batman.”

BRUCE knows damn well he’s talking to AQUAMAN. Let’s move this shit along lol

“Oh Gotham? How’s that shit hole?” - AQUAMAN

Ik these bitchies aren’t singing rofl

I’d sniff anything wore by Jason Momoa too.

“Maybe a man who broods in a cave isn’t cut out to be a recruiter.” - ALFRED

TALK YO SHIT ALFRED!!!!

AMY ADAMS can literally take my heart, step on it, throw it in a river and I still wouldn’t be mad.

Here comes the lovely WONDER WOMAN!

broooo her hands were moving like Donnie Yen in Ip Man!

Fucked that entire ceiling up

Ofc the one who tried to touch it would make the stupid statement.

STEPPENWOLF is really wildin’ out

Don’t look back! I hate it when they look back!!

These are some strong as women!

PART 2 - “The Age of Heroes”

“It’s toxic, that’s good.” - STEPPENWOLF

I can only imagine that this is how toxic people think.

this dude really just threw that lil demon fella like it was nothin’ lmao

You know you're working at a job for too long when you say this is the first time in a while that they're going home early smdh

Now that shit was pretty lit....

SILAS thinkin’ shit I better check on my son.

“You know a lot about monsters, don’t you? Especially how to make them.” - CYBORG

If that isn’t teen angst, then I don’t know wtf is lmao

Seeing Gal in this tomb makes me want to re-watch Wonder Woman 1 all over again!

DARKSEID ol’ trifflin’ ass

plopped him down like he was dirty laundry

God bless Willem Dafoe, this man is a fuckin’ legend!

“This world is divided. They’re a primitive species. Unevolved and at war with one another. Too separate to be one.” - STEPPENWOLF

DeSaad kinda looks like Doctor Doom in the Fantasic Four reboot lmao

GREEN LATERNS!!!!!!!!!!!! OH SHIT!!!!!!!!

we really need a Green Lantern Corps moving...

ZEUS + ARES = A Dynamic Duo When They Aren’t Being Dicks To Each Other

You know I feel bad for man because all they did was bury that shit in the ground rofl

Part 3 - “Beloved Mother, Beloved Son”

BARRY + IRIS = Love at First Sight

The burger can’t be that good like damn.

Bro the detail on his fucking shoes and the glass!!

ROFL PLEASE TELL ME HE TOOK THE HOTDOG FOR HIS DOG!?!?

damn did the car really need to explode...

lol BARRY must really need the job lol

... I would’ve just played dead after he threw me against that rock...

Man of Steel probably has one of the best soundtracks not just for a superhero movie but just in general

Americans love their football!

I have this love-hate relationship with CYBORG being in the JL and not with the TITANS you know since he’s a kid, but he’s a college student in this one.

Thank God DIANA spoke with VICTOR instead of BRUCE because I honestly don’t think he would’ve gotten him on board.

Everyone can literally zigzag zoom across this planet at undeniable speed except for BATMAN lol

Come on, VIC, help the lady out.

You know honestly, BARRY has a pretty cool pad for someone who's trying to get by paying for a Criminal Justice Degree.

“A very attractive Jewish boy. Who drinks milk, I don’t drink milk.” - BARRY

“Fuck the World.” - CYBORG

dang Ik DIANA has every right to grieve over STEVE, but damn that man has her whipped!

“You’re looking at the hottest thing on Earth. The exact same thing I said to my prom date. She dumped me anyway.” - RYAN CHOI

Why does MERA have an accent in this but not in AQUAMAN?? (ik the answer)

DAAAYYUUUMMMN MERA TURNED INTO A WHOLE BLOOD BENDER!

PART 4 - “Change Machine”

CYBORG just glided over silently

STEPPENWOLF + WONDER WOMAN = EPIC FIGHT SCENE

Seeing BARRY move like that to stop the debris and to ping DIANA’S sword really is amazing..

But he should not be screaming like that LOL

How do you not remember the planet that’s habitants almost killed you?? Because if that was me, I wouldn’t have forgotten that shit at all!

Would've held a big ass grudge until I could go back.

“I know we’re all thinking the same thing right now. Who’s gonna say it? I’m not gonna say it.” - BARRY

WOOOAAHHH J’ONN JONES?! (forgot about that)

“There are six, not five. There is no us without him.” - BRUCE

Damn, no faith at all

PART 5 - “ALL The King’s Horses”

ICONIC DIALOGUE

BARRY - “Wonder Woman. What do you think, man? You think she’d go for a younger guy?”

VICTOR - “She’s 5,000 years old, Barry. Every guy is a younger guy.”

I would’ve kept swippin’ that ID like a cashier at Wal-Mart swippin’ a debit card.

They're movin’ a little too slow for me. Ik they’ve never been on the ship before, but I would’ve been zoomin’ through that entire ship just to hurry and get the job done.

NOT THE PREGNANCY TEST

Damn, they couldn’t have at least picked up the photo??

The foreshadowing was spectacular! It will always amaze me.

I’m sure Allstate will cover that person’s car...

Just when LOIS was about to move on.

CLARK grabbed DIANA like miss me with that Rafiki shit.

I would’ve come back to my senses too after looking at Amy Adams.

AQUAMAN + THE FLASH = A CONUNDRUM

DR. SILAS takin’ one for the team

PART 6 - “Something Darker”

As crazy as radiation is, it’s quite an amazing spectacle.

I wish this Justice League movie could’ve held off until we got some other heroes such as the Green Lanterns, Hawkgirl, and many others.

Our generation was truly blessed to have an incredible actor as SUPERMAN, and we are not putting him to use!

JONATHAN sounds like President Biden lol

Alright, team?! Break!

AQUAMAN is totally enjoying this fight. He rode that Parademon like a surfboard.

AQUAMAN + CYBORG + FLASH = *THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN*

I swear every scene that WONDER WOMAN enters into does not fail to include the “Ancient Lamentation Music”.

VICTOR hurry up and say “one” god damnnit!!

SUPERMAN COLD!!!!

Somebody needs to put this fight on WorldStar

BARRY = HE’S A RUNNA HE’S A TRACK STAHHHHARRR!!!

THAT WAS FUCKING IMMACULATE

The Unity = The Three Bitchies

I bet DARKSEID will remember that shit now

EPILOGUE - “A Father Twice Over”

VICTOR = A Final Requiem

LOL VULKO and MERA look stressed tf out!

“Uh, I have too much to live for. And more important things to do.” - LEX

A cocky motherfucker LMAO

Alright, we’re back in this type of dream sequence.

“Who have you ever loved?” - MERA

Uh, bitch his parents, Robin tf?!

Thank you, JOKER, for stating the facts for Ms. Fish-stick

Oh shit, they let LOIS die, goddamn it!

HARLEY’S DEAD TOO?!?!?!

BRUCE LOOK SICK AF!!!

Well, the dream is over once again...

I just don’t see how people can live with all those fuckin’ windows.

“Oh, and some have called me The Martian Manhunter.” - J’ONN

Alright...

________

Yes, the movie was long but what needed to be expressed was. As we already the Snyder Cut wasn’t supposed to be seen because a father simply wanted to grieve the death of his child. I’ll once again reiterate what @verified-villain-fxcker you don't have to like the film but at least give it the benefit of the doubt from its predecessor. For me, I did enjoy watching his version, but let’s be honest what he who shall not be named did was just fucked up.
