#once I start I can't stop

Smackdown thoughts?

Hey anon ❤️ Happy to have you in my inbox again! As always, thanks for asking and for being interested in what I have to say! I apologize for the late reply, I didn't manage to watch the entire show up until today, but now I'm glad I did!

I'll list things off in chronological order and put most of it under the cut (since this is super long once again, especially the part about the main event, oops).

The first bit of Roman walking in… the way Paul flinched was hilarious, looks like Jey really did a number on him last week lol. If you don’t love Paul, I don’t know what you’re doing with your life.

I love seeing NXT superstars on other brands, especially if they’re really building up to RAW vs. Smackdown vs. NXT for Survivor Series once again (also loved that little backstage sequence with Jey later on the show, boy’s got people’s respect and I love that).

The Fatal 4-Way was a great entertaining match. I love Rey Mysterio, he’s one of the reasons I’ve been watching the product for such a long time and he’ll always be a fav, so I don’t mind him winning, as long as they have something bigger and better in store for LA Knight. I’m annoyed they keep using him for promos to get a crowd pop, but still make him lose all the damn time. He’s so over rn, they’d be stupid not to do something with that other than promo work. (LWO vs. LWO next week should be interesting though.)

Charlotte vs. Iyo didn’t really catch me, it was a solid match (and I loved Bayley on commentary, honestly the combo of Bayley, Cole and Wade is comedic gold). Something about the match just felt a little off to me. They’re both great in the ring, I guess something about their chemistry just wasn’t for me. Hate that Iyo lost. LOVE that Asuka got the last laugh.

That Roman, Solo, Paul backstage segment 👀 My killer baby loves staring at that Ula Fala a little too much these days and The Tribal Chief knows it. It was a 30-40 second segment maybe, no words spoken, but we saw everything we needed to see. Just hope they don’t fuck over Jey at Summerslam over this, but I’m fully expecting it at this point.

The Shotzi stuff is looking awesome!!! Maybe getting a good feud in the women’s division? We love to see it! (I love Shotzi and Bayley, so I’m even more excited, I hope they’ll come through.)

Still not gonna talk about Theory, but he lost HAHAHAHA (and that’s all I’m gonna say)

Dunno what they’re cooking with Lashley and company, but I’m intrigued for sure 👀 First the Street Profits, now Carmelo and Trick? Interesting, interesting.

The Dom Dom stuff is super entertaining to me. Him and Mami are simply an iconic duo and I hope they’re not gonna split these two up anytime soon. That being said, give Rhea a good feud on Mondays pls and thx!

I get why people are frustrated over the whole NXT North American Championship thing, especially since Solo didn’t get to keep it when he joined the main roster, but then again it’s WWE and they keep changing the rules all the time, so it’s not all that surprising that they’d be inconsistent like that. And like I said earlier, if they’re really building up towards NXT vs. Smackdown vs. RAW for Survivor Series, it’s a smart business move to have one of their most popular acts on all shows to attract viewership and have one of them carry a title to lift it up even further (and for people whining about The Draft - honestly that was never gonna stick for too long, it never has in the past, and it was mostly about having the World Titles on different shows if you ask me). I love seeing gold on Dom Dom and on Mami and I’ll leave it at that.

Pretty Deadly and that wheelchair scene. I was laughing so hard. These two are GOLD. Add Wade’s commentary on top of that. Yeah… I don’t want a segment like that for them every week, but this segment and this week? LOVED IT!

And now on to the main event:

Jey’s entrance was pure fire my god 🔥🔥🔥 Honestly, you don’t wanna know I many times I’ve rewatched that one. Man’s fired up!!!

Him not looking at nor acknowledging Roman for the entirety of his entrance, only giving him the side eye once he’s close? Proud of how far he's come <3

(Am I the only one missing Roman raising those titles on the ramp? No? Good.)

If looks could kill Jey would be cooked by now - just look at Solo during that entire entrance and the whole segment, holy moly. He rarely takes his eyes off of Jey. No love lost between these two. God they are phenomenal. He only looks away and starts thinking on his own when Jey mentions the Elders telling him to challenge Roman. Solo may have been sent for Roman’s protection, but we can’t forget that his loyalty lies with the Elders, seeing as they are the ones who sent him in the first place. If they doubt Roman’s leadership - oh boy…

Roman trying to intimidate Jey just like old times (“little Jey”) and Jey standing his ground. The way I yelled 🔥 And Roman thinking this is just gonna be any old match, that this is gonna be Clash of Champions and HIAC all over again. His arrogance is unmatched and I love the dawning realization of what’s really happening here, starting with his confusion the moment Jey rips up the contract and says with his whole chest “the contract’s in the blood” “this right here is Tribal Combat now” all the way up to the moment he asks Jey if the Elders know about this and finds out it was their idea. You see doubt creep in, but he’s still infuriatingly arrogant. Right up until the moment I’m truly living for - the second he realizes what’s really at stake here when Jey reiterates “I said… it’s Tribal Combat now” (the most powerful line that’s been said all night phew 😮‍💨). That’s when he knows Jey truly means business. And Paul immediately trying to stop him? CINEMA.

Jey Uso listing all the ways he’s gonna beat Roman’s ass while bouncing in his lil chair will never not be hilarious to me. It was such a deeply emotional segment and he still managed to put a light comedic moment into it. And that smile at the end of it? That wasn’t Roman, even though he weaved it into the Tribal Chief’s arrogance extremely well (just goes to show how good he is), nah that was Joe cracking a smile and you can’t convince me otherwise. These boys (Josh and Joe) are having the time of their lives and I’m very soft about that 🥹

With Roman leaving the Ula Fala on the Table and initiating the Hongi with Jey? Honestly, to me this felt like the moment Roman finally acknowledged that they’re gonna meet as equals in that ring for the first time. Not big cousin and little cousin, not Tribal Chief and Right Hand Man, not main eventer and Tag Team Guy. Just two men who want what’s best for their family, two guys who have grown into supernovas over the years, two men who are equal and have mutual respect for each other. Tribal Combat means the match was sanctioned by the Elders and that’s huge. These guys are gonna murder each other, but they’ll love and respect each other while doing so. This was the ultimate showing of respect for each other and their heritage. This was their contract signing and it’s more binding than any other contract could ever be. And it’s immediately proven when Solo tries to go after Jey and Roman stops him.

And while Jey immediately kicking Solo in the face, no hesitation, shocks Roman and shows him just how far Jey is willing to go, just how different his cousin is from the man he faced years ago, Jey is not breaking any rules. Roman realizes he’s pushed Jey too far one too many times.

Paul kneeling in the corner in absolute despair was a hilarious and glorious little detail! This whole thing would never be the same without Paul Heyman, backstage and in front of the cameras. That man just >>>>>

Another thing I found incredibly intriguing was the little conversation Paul and Roman had while leaving. They were so stunned by the fact that Jey was talking to the Elders. If you listen closely you can hear Paul say “he said it was the Elder’s idea” and Roman say something along the lines of “I’m the only one talking to the Elders”. The fact that Paul looks legitimately scared… What are they doing to us?

I might not like whatever outcome they have planned for Summerslam (if Jey isn’t winning and he isn’t gonna, I’m not gonna like it, simple as that), but the build-up to it is incredible and I’m enjoying every second!

For me it was a good episode overall!

[seokjinsonlyone]

i did that thing i do where i don't order anything for a while and then order like 5 things at once 🫣🤒

[catsharky]

As terrifying as it would have been, I like to think there was a moment of peace there at the end, among the stars.

-

So... this is the next part of the Shakarian comic, but it's not the big one I said would come next. I've made the decision to put that on the back burner for now and pick away at it a lot more slowly while I continue on with what I originally had planned. The next thing you see from me will likely be the Joker-centric part I mentioned a while back, but for now please enjoy this rare coloured comic in the meantime.

*just think about the most general scenario - not what you write or draw or read more about. just what pops into your head. general idea.

He doesn’t talk and I don’t talk. Just casting and not having to talk is, well, kind of nice.

Girl, help, the book authors are trying too hard to be "hip" with the fleeting "teen lingo" and trends again, immediately dating their works before they're even released

"I love you. I couldn't possibly love you more, you know that as a fact." CURTAIN CALL (1998)

[theheirofthesharingan]

I was just thinking... Edo Tensei Itachi had just genjutsued himself with Kotoamatsukami, with the order of "protecting Konoha". This broke Kabuto's control over him. But you know what didn't break? The love that Itachi had for his baby brother. Because Sasuke repeatedly stated in his presence that he would destroy Konoha, that he could never forgive the village, that Itachi could save the village this time if he pleased but he was resolved to destroy it anyway. Sasuke was a clear threat to Konoha and Edo Tensei Itachi was under Kotoamatsukami (the ultimate genjutsu and all, apparently...) with the order to protect it, and yet... He didn't even consider doing anything to stop Sasuke. Whatever that jutsu changed in Edo Tensei Itachi's brain, it could not touch the feelings he had for Sasuke. He even said he would love him always, whatever he did. Literally, I don't care if you set the world on fire, ototo, I love you unconditionally.

Uchiha brotherly love 1, Kotoamatsukami 0.

Yes, yes, yes!

This part has always fascinated me more than it should, probably. We see Sasuke's love for him and it's proven again and again and again throughout the story. Itachi's love is told to us (it's the case of show vs tell where the narrative focuses too much on tell part compared to show) without much showing. But it's these moments that show us how deep and powerful his love is. And for all the violence there's a tenderness that's almost mystical.

It's also why I can't deal with the people who claim "Itachi chose village over Sasuke." He literally didn't? Not wanting Sasuke to die isn't the same as choosing the village over him.

And this moment right here is the proof of his love. Itachi didn't mind Sasuke destroyed his legacy, all that he'd given up his life for. And that, too, something his brain was programmed to protect. Along with love, his guilt also played a major role, but nothing could still change what he felt in his heart. He'd massacred people, including his own parents, endured the worst form of punishment for this. So the guilt would always have been there.

And he was okay if Sasuke really just destroyed everything. I don't know if he himself realized this. Itachi isn't the kind of person to take pride in anything, at least Edo Tensei Itachi.

Not just this, even Kabuto says his heart was pierced by how much Itachi loved Sasuke. I wrote about it here. Izanami affected him and made him a good person, and he felt Itachi's love deeply too - that Itachi wanted to protect Sasuke to his death, even in death.

On top of it all, his final words to Sasuke (Ore wa omae wo zutto aishiteiru translated as I will love you always) also express the deepest, most profound, and highest form of love and affection. It's different from a simple "I love you."

Their bonding is so powerful, so profound, so incredibly beautiful, and so multi-faceted that there's a lot to consider. At times paradoxical, but what remains constant is their love for each other. Itachi would destroy the worlds for Sasuke and Sasuke would do the same for him.

Hmm.. this idea is from @keeperofhounds

They sent me this from some time ago and I just got time to actually think it over and wrap my head around it

So, basically, the idea is..

Roksu reincarnated into Cale's supposed dead older brother who was fated to be stillborn

Their age gap is 7 years

If we follow the canon timeline, Jour died when Cale 8 years old

But here, she died when Roksu was 8 and Cale was 1

Jour still split her ancient power into two

The first one, she gave it to Cale

While the second one, she hide it in her diary for Roksu to take later

She somehow know about Roksu and his fate, still loves him all the same

The massacre still happen because Jour leave a false trail to Harris village

Because she know that it needs to happen

After her death, Roksu basically raise Cale because Deruth, being the coward he is, can't bring himself to even look at Cale because he remind him of his deceased wife

In this, Cale is the only red head in the family because Roksu inherited Deruth's hair color

At first, it was difficult for Roksu because he also see a glimpse of their mother in Cale

But seeing the innocence in him and the smile that seems to warm his heart, Roksu know that he will do anything for his baby brother

Ah! Roksu doesn't have his memories as Kim Rok Soo but he will remember them when he turn 18

I just want the timelime to match with LCF

Cale grow up as a happy, good, and kind kid

He might be shy around other people and only keep close those he is comfortable and care about

He is a bit naive because Roksu quite protective and paranoid toward him

Cale's relationship with Deruth is a bit strained because he is absent in his early years and when he brought in Violan and Basen, Roksu doesn't really let him away from him because he is warry

He doesn't hate them per se, it's just that they were new people, strangers, in his house that might harm his brother so he keep their distant from them

Roksu also distant with his father because he is dissapointed with how he did things and the way he doesn't even look at Cale properly, he even flinch, and it's make Roksu upset so he has been giving him cold shoulders until he realize his mistakes

And since Roksu busy taking care of Cale, he doesn't really have time to 'bond' with Basen nor Lily

And since Cale has half of the ancient power, he has been seeing people's ring since he couldn't understand anything

Roksu always know that Cale can see something, but he never found out what until Cale learn to speak more fluently

He didn't really understand what he mean by 'ring' around people at first

But when Cale break dowm after his nanny died, he told Roksu how the 'ring' was starting fade before

From there, Roksu conclude that the 'ring' is like a lifespan of people and his only conclusion is it's an Ancient Power

He know a bit of Ancient Power but doesn't really care about it before, but finding out that Cale might possess one made him research on Ancient Power to make sure it will not bring harm to Cale

He made Cale promise that he will not tell anyone about the 'rings' he saw and it's their secret

Oh!! Ron always there with them

Hmm.. I think Cale will pick some of Ron's habits like walk silently or good at sneaking or something

And! Cale is also close with Vic-hyung it make Roksu-hyung jealous 🥺

The three of them basically grow up close like siblings!!

When he first got his memories as KRS, the first thing he thought of is Cale's safety

He know that Cale doesn't grow up as a trashy young master, beside he still a kid, but he never know

So he become overbearing during that time until he is sure that Cale will be fine and safe

The first time Cale see Choi Han, he told Roksu that he has a pretty 'ring'

Roksu think it may be because he is not from here

During the events in LCF, Roksu bring Cale almost everywhere at the beginning but started to keep him in Rock Villa when thing become more dangerous

There were times when Cale sulk because Roksu keep going somewhere and leave him behind which lead to some wholesome brotherly love

Ah, I can imagine how scared Cale when Roksu hurt badly and how he refuse to leave his side and have him out of his sight

He got traumatized so bad he started to cry when he can't find his hyung

Idk why but I'm thinking about making Cale do something for GoD because Roksu is in dire situation and it make him injured or in extreme pain (temporarly because GoD protecting him and will make sure he is safe and fine after)

He agreed willingly because it's for his hyung but Roksu is furious with GoD for involving his baby brother

Yyaapp, I think Imma stop here because it started to get everywhere lol

Thank you for the wonderful idea, I hope you like it!!

[deargravity]

thinking about cozmez. where do i even begin. my kings. cozmez and the struggle to live in a society that has no place for them. cozmez and the fierce, ravenous need to carve themselves a place in this society. cozmez and their kill or be killed understanding of the world that slowly unravels not through their victory but through the experience of songwriting and performance, through sharing the stage with the other groups, through forming their first real connections with other people outside of each other. the world getting bigger with nayuta's friendship with shiki, iori's paternal advice to kanata when he needs it, akyr kids' casual acceptance of cozmez as an extension of their own family (akyr kids and cozmez are very cousin-coded to me). cozmez and the life-changing realisation that they don't want to live luxuriously, they just want to live comfortably. they didn't want to be all-powerful. they just wanted to stop feeling so powerless. cozmez and remembering where you come from no matter how far you go, cozmez and the devotion to the only person who can make any place feel like home, cozmez and the world that gets bigger the more people you let into it, cozmez and the bravest act isn't to face everything alone, rather it's to risk your heart by relying on the people you love. cozmez, you will always be famous and powerful. my kings.

2019 July 23 (Tuesday) - Misha posted this with caption "This guy is always partially-obstructing my view of sunsets." I asked myself - can I locate the exact spot where the plane was? It turn's out that I can - they were about to land in Vancouver:

He published this sunset photo in the morning, so I'm assuming that it was taken the day before (on Monday). From where they were returning to Vancouver? Looking at the previous post at Misha's social media tells me that they were in San Diego at Comic Con (which ended on Sunday).

And there is the fun part: did they had to fly together to Vancouver because season 15 of SPN was starting filming on that week? No. Filming SPN would start the next week, on July 30 and Misha would start posting from set immediately.

So it would made more sense for Misha to fly from San Diego to his home in Bellingham. Instead he opted to fly with Jensen and then do over an hour of driving from Vancouver to Bellingham. But did he even drove to Bellingham on the next day or he stayed in Vancouver (enjoying his pink blanky at Jensen spare bedroom) to Friday? We don't know for sure, but the only other photos, that Misha published between the sunset one and these from SPN set, are from Saturday & Sunday, which he was spending with his kids in Bellingham.

EDIT: Small correction, because I forgot to check some things: 15x01 started filming on July 30, but it wasn't the first episode that was filmed in that season. 15x04 Atomic Monsters (dir. Jensen Ackles) was shoot first (because of Jensen's beard) - between July 22 and July 29. Jared even posted one photo on set from July 22 (monday), so the sunset photo from a plane could have been from sunday evening. Castiel, however, does not appear in that episode.

OK that's it the hype for Waybound is taking over I'm gonna use the incorrect quotes generator and no one can stop me.
