Toiletkink Freakman, step away from the horse, you are under arrest.

[todayisafridaynight]

#i genuinely do think he's naturally one of the cutest dudes on earth he just has a face like that yk#was very funny watching kinpika and seeing him play this serious character and He Did An EPIC Job Dont Get It Twisted but still...#what are you doing here... you should be off somewhere being silly...

FUNNIEST POSSIBLE TAGS BECAUSE AT THE TIME I WAS STARTING THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE TRAVEL NURSE. AND. PLEASE WITNESS MY JOURNEY

I've redacted things so as to not spoil ENTIRELY just in case but. Literally Arakawa Nurse AU TO ME I'm SORRY it's how you start off thinking he's just gonna be this cute silly old man but As It Turns Out he's kind of a sicko [affectionate] with an incredibly strong morals... not TOO much of a sicko just enough to be chilling... and no one gets what the fuck he's trying to do up until he explains it and then it's like Oh Okay You're Insane... But It Worked Out So I Guess It's All Good... And also tell me this is not an Arakawa And Ichiban Type Interaction...

Perfect role for Nakai I sweaaar 'cause he gets to be cute And serious And a weirdo And--

Also just fun because I've mentioned how Tsutsumi would want to be a lumberjack if he could switch jobs on a whim like in Y:LAD, but Nakai said he'd want to be a doctor so he could help people more tangibly than he can as an actor... it's like that bit in The Deer King when Van chops wood yk it just makes me smile...

So anyway... first show I'll be subbing myself since I'm very much hooked and the only option right now is to machine-translate subs to English...

ALL OF THAT ASIIIIIDE very very very excited for the Ikumi fic :]]]]]] WHICHEVER COMES FIRST, THAT OR MY NEXT ASK... SEE YOU THEN...

CRYINNGGGG HES PERFECT..... ALSO WEEPING AT THE DR KANZAKI BIT WHY IS HE LITERALLY JUST

ABSOLUTELY EXCITED to see this if you share the subs..... im making grabby hands........

[despair-to-future-arcs]

You look more like a weirdo.

Huh? The hell, are you mocking me...?

USAMI: No... I think they just think how drastic how you change your appearance seems out there is all, but still... you driven people away?

Well yeah, I did and honestly at the time I felt that if it drives people away; I would have anyone trust me; punkasses started getting closer to me instead and Hot girls kept coming on to me, too… But to tell you the truth…that scared me a little.

USAMI: So instead you got the attention of bad people?

Well yeah but as say, I wasn't very close to them and I think I kept my distant from them but I think they didn't trust me either or really liked me...

*As then Kazuichi gets to work on it...*

'I just knew these guys were using me, it was easier for me to accept that I haven't needed to believe in anyone, and I haven't been betrayed....so I accepted that as fact...'

“Mommy?”

“Yes, baby doll?” You questioned as you stacked the last dish into the drying rack and dried off your hands. 

“How come daddy carries sissy around, but you won’t let him carry me?”

You chuckled softly as you crouched down to her height, “And how old are you?”

“Six.”

“And how old is Sofía?”

She scrunched up her nose, “Two.”

“Do you remember what I told you about daddy’s back?” You arched a brow, “You’re too big for him to pick up.” 

Josie sighed heavily, letting her shoulders sag. “But why does daddy have a bad back? Can’t he get it fixed?”

You reached out and brushed her hair away from her cheek, rubbing your thumb over her skin there. “A long time ago, both of us weren’t very kind to our bodies. 

“Like when you,” She dropped her voice low and whispered conspiratorially, “got shot?” Josie questioned, pointing at your leg. 

“Exactly like that.” You nodded, subconsciously rubbing at the scar on your leg. The one she had seen that prompted that discussion. 

“Did daddy get shot?”

“No.”

“Then why does he have a bad back?” Josie pressed, crossing her arms across her chest. “It’s not fair that he carries Sofía around.”

“Sofía is still little, sweetheart.” Your brows rose upwards as you stared at her. “You’ve gotten too tall.” You still couldn’t believe she’d sprouted up so much already. She was right at your hip now. 

She pouted, “But what if daddy loves Sofía more because he can carry her around?”

Oh, the things children worried about. You stood back up, glancing out the window and watching where Javier was playing with Sofía outside with Stevie. 

“Come here,” You held your hand out to Josie, guiding her over to the kitchen table and sitting down beside her. “You may never tell your sister this.”

Josie’s eyes widened, “Pinky promise!” She said as she held up her hand with her pinky extended.

You laughed, hooking your finger around hers. “Now that you’ve promised, I can let you in on a little secret. I know this may be shocking news JoJo, but you are your daddy’s favorite.” You told her, petting your hand over her head of soft curls. “That’s not to say that he doesn’t love Sofía, but you are always going to be his baby. He might not be able to carry you around the house like he used to, but that doesn’t change anything.” 

“Really?” She asked enthusiastically, covering her mouth and giggling. 

“Yes, really.” You tapped your finger against her nose. “So even when you’re big and grown and have a family of your own… you’re going to be his baby girl.” 

“I’m almost big and grown now!” She sat up a little taller then. 

“Not quite.” You winked at her, sinking back in your chair. “You’re still my baby too.”

“Who do you love most, mommy?”

You pursed your lips thoughtfully, “Stevie.” 

“Mommy!”

“You asked!” You laughed, shaking your head. “Honestly, I love all of you weirdos equally.” Javier was the one that would always help JoJo get away with anything and everything. And you had a feeling the same wouldn’t be said for Sofía. 

Josie opened her mouth to say something, but the backdoor swept open and Stevie came bounding in with Sofía chasing after her and Javier lagging behind them. 

“JoJo, I thought you were coming back out to play.” He remarked, rubbing at the back of his neck. 

“Mommy and I were having a big girl talk.”

He arched a brow and looked towards you then, “Oh?” 

You shrugged, “It was something like that.” You turned towards Josie then as she climbed off the chair. “Why don’t you and Sofía go play in your room until lunch?”

“Okay.” Josie grinned and wiggled her pinky at you, before taking Sofía by the hand and heading down the hallway. 

“And what was that about?” Javier questioned, wincing a little as he leaned down to press a kiss to your forehead. 

“Sorry, babe. I pinky promised our daughter.” You pushed the chair back and rose to your feet, holding his gaze. “Did you hurt yourself?”

“A little.” He pressed his tongue to the inside of his cheek. “Stevie got a little rambunctious and got me good while I was bending down.”

You grimaced, reaching out and brushing your fingers over his cheek. “We can’t have any fun next week if you’re broken, Javi.” 

“Trust me, I know.” He huffed, shaking his head. “Are things good with Josie?”

“Yeah,” You nodded. “She was just worried about where she stands in the ranking.”

“Ranking?” He arched a brow. 

“I pinky promised her.” You ran a finger down the length of his nose, before tapping it against his  lips. “How about a glass of water and some Tylenol?”

“Keeping secrets already. JoJo really is six going on sixteen.” Javier chuckled as he sat down in your seat, stretching out his back. 

“One of us has to be the secret keeper in the family.” You gave him a look as you moved to the sink and filled up a glass for him. “And we both know that’s not you.”

Javier snorted, “I’ve kept one secret under wraps for a year.” 

“Which is impressive.” You taunted.

“And in Colombia.”

You grabbed the Tylenol out of the cupboard and sat the bottle and the glass of water down in front of him. “Touché.” 

Javier rolled his eyes as he popped the lid off the Tylenol and tossed two pills into his mouth, washing them down with the water. “I’m just saying, baby… I can keep a secret.”

“For the most part.” You played your fingers through his hair, trailing them back to toy with the hair at the nape of his neck. “Alright, I’ll tell you… Josie was worried that Sofía had surpassed her. She thought that because Sofia’s little and easy to carry around, that you didn’t love her as much as you used to.”

“Really?” Javier shook his head. “Look, I’m not playing favorites, but it is Josie.” 

“Maybe take her out for some ice cream before we leave.” You suggested, chewing on your bottom lip. “She’s a smart cookie.”

He curled his arm around your upper thighs, pulling you towards him. “Just like her mother.” 

You ran your hand over the width of his shoulders, “Flattery will get you everywhere. You should’ve seen how worried she was. The things kids stress about.”

Javier chuckled, rubbing his thumb over your leg where his hand was curled. “I might take her and Stevie to the beach tomorrow, then to the boardwalk for ice cream.” 

“I bet she’d love that.” You smiled down at him. Sofía and I will hold down the fort. Maybe watch Mulan for the hundredth time.”

“Don’t threaten me with a good time.” He gave your leg three short squeezes. “You looking forward to next weekend?”

“I am,” You nodded as you stepped out of his hold, “It’ll be nice to have a few days to ourselves.”

“I’m looking forward to sleeping in.” Javier remarked with a smirk as you shot him a look. “What?”

“You are getting old.” You clicked your tongue against your teeth. “I didn’t think I’d live to see the day that Javier Peña would be more inclined to sleep in than—“ You glanced down the hall to make sure you still heard plenty of sound coming from the girls. “— fuck his wife.” 

“Did I say I wasn’t looking forward to that aspect of our getaway?” His brows rose upwards. “I don’t think I did.”

“It was implied.” You retorted with a grin. “I see how it is.”

Despite his back, Javier made short work of the distance between the two of you as he crowded close to you. Effectively trapping you between him and the kitchen counter. “Are you sure that is what the implication was?” He questioned, his lips close to yours. “Or perhaps I’m going to keep you up all night and we will have to sleep in.” 

Your lips parted as you let out a shaky exhale, leaning into him. “That’s the alternative I’m looking forward to.” You whispered. 

Javier cradled your cheek as he leaned in and kissed you. 

You curled your fingers around the back of his neck and chased after his lips as he pulled back, “Bring this energy to next weekend.” You told him, your gaze flickering between his eyes and his lips. 

“I plan on it.”

“Mommy?”

Shit.

Javier was quick to step away from you and busy himself with drying off the dishes that were drying in the rack. 

“What’s up, babydoll?l

“Sofía is stinky.”

“Ah,” Your hands went to your hips. “I guess she was having a little too much fun.” You turned back towards Javier, giving a little head nod towards Josie, before you started towards the hall. 

“Hey, princesa.”

“Yes, daddy?” Josie questioned with her sweetest voice. 

“Think you have time in your busy schedule to go to the beach with me tomorrow?”

“Really?”

“Yeah!” Javier clapped his hands together. “Just you and me.”

“Can we get ice cream?”

“Of course.”

“That sounds like the best day ever!”

“I thought you’d like the sound of that.” Javier chuckled, as you stepped out of earshot and into Josie’s bedroom. 

Sofía toddled towards you, grinning from ear-to-ear. 

You scrunched up your nose, “You are far too happy to be that smelly, kiddo.” You scooped her up and headed for the nursery to handle the situation. 

There was no doubt that both of you loved the girls equally, but you also knew you both had your favorites. Despite everything that had led up to and followed Sofía’s birth — there was something about her endearingly grumpy personality that made you love her just a little more. 

[starrymused]

"You good, Tina?" Rhyland knew it wasn't smart for him to leave the door unattended, but it was nearly 5AM and he had spotted some dude following Valentina closely as she left. He'd had a gut instinct and followed it -- and sure enough, here was some punkass trying to corner her.

“I’m fine, darling. This will only take a second.” Polina had taught her how to defend herself without having to resort to murder. It had taken a bit to convince the hitwoman to agree to that, but she gave in after hearing that murders would have a terrible effect on Dion’s business.

With a smile, she approached the creep as if she was actually interested in him. Without him seeing, she’d slipped a tiny syringe from her handbag and, as she reached up to wrap her arms around his neck in what looked to be an embrace, she stuck the nape of his neck with it. Her “embrace” tightened as he tried to push her off and defend himself against the fast-working drug (courtesy of Kwang-sun) but it didn’t take him long to crumple to the ground as his muscles relaxed and he became weak.

“These little guys are so useful!” She held up the empty syringe. “Takes out weirdos without much of a struggle!”

[lizzymayi]

I forgot how much I dislike Rigsby. He sucks. I am reminded that he's a punkass.

LaRoche, you weirdo. Why did they sideline Hightower so hard after her extra-antagonistic introduction? Why give her such a strong start only to disappear her and bring in LaRoche? Huh.

An Almost Completely Uninformed Person’s Reaction to the Netflix Death Note Adaptation

I never read/watched all of Death Note so most of my understanding is from, like, two episodes I saw at Youmacon and shit I gleaned from my more anime-loving friends, but I have thoughts on the Netflix adaptation anyway because fuck you.

Also I’m putting it in bullet points because fuck you

Willem Dafoe as Ryuk is fucking great.  The fact that they used practical effects (with some CGI touchups) really helps, but also it’s Willem Dafoe.  It’s good Willem Dafoe, too - Willem Dafoe giving a shit and enjoying himself at the same time.  This is, like, Premium Willem Dafoe.  Premium Willem Dafoe in a fucking monster costume being unnerving and weird and compelling all at the same time.  Good shit.  Good Willem Dafoe.

L is really good too.  Like, the guy they got to play him has this really great nervous intensity that’s weird but in a nice understated way.  I hope the actor who plays him, Keith Stanfield, gets cast in more weird genre shit like this because I would be sold on seeing him in, like, anything, but especially monster shit.  Put this guy in Godzilla vs. King Kong or something for the love of god.

The actor who plays Cole from Kong: Skull Island plays Light’s dad and he does a good job but I keep waiting for him to say some weird shit and he never does.

The movie embraces the weird fucking shit in Death Note way more than I thought it would.  Other adaptations would try to “ground” it in “realism” and instead this movie bends over backwards to include as much bizarre shit as possible.  It’s admirable and works in a lot of respects (Ryuk and L being the primary ones), but...

Because it’s only a movie, and not a Manga/TV series, Netflix’s Death Note feels... rushed.  Like, it’s packing a LOT of shit into its run time, and as a result a lot of its plot doesn’t have time to breath.  There should have been a slow build up to Light becoming Kira, Kira becoming a worldwide sensation, and the police being so baffled that they call in eccentric weirdo L to help them out.  Instead, it compresses Light’s rise to power and the escalation to, like, twenty minutes basically so we can focus on the Light vs. L stuff for most of the movie - which, granted, is the best part of Death Note as far as my uninformed ass can tell, but even as a person who hasn’t read/watched the series in full, I can tell this needed build up.  We needed a slower, tenser pace so we could feel the escalation, so the whole Kira identity could feel plausible, and so L’s arrival in the plot could feel, I dunno, bigger.  Instead, L feels almost normal because all the - and I hate to say this - realistic aspects of the plot have been drained to just leave the weird parts.  It gets right to the fun, but the fun is more fun as a contrast. Kira’s evolution into something bigger than a normal serial killer, L arriving as a way for the police to become less mundane so as to deal with a supernatural threat, all of that needs room to breath so we can be taken out of our reality and into the fantasy more completely.

What I’m saying is they should have made this, like, a five to ten episode miniseries instead of a movie.

Light is a bit too... nice?  good? in this.  Like, what I gleaned of Light is that he’s an arrogant prick who thinks the world would be better if he was in charge of it - a smug little fucker who has a literal god complex.  He claims he’s working for the greater good, but only because he thinks he is the greatest good of all.  Netflix Light has, y’know, a conscience, and is actually trying to make the world better rather than trying to elevate himself and believing that’s the same thing.  There’s not a lot of hubris to him.  Again, I’m uninformed here and maybe the anime/manga is much different than my perception of it, but it sort of feels like that’s an important point of characterization - Light’s altruism should be false, and his “justice” is actually just a method of deifying himself.  Instead Netflix Light is, like, a good guy who got in over his head, and that’s... I dunno, I guess I just dislike that.  I like my Faustian Bargain makers to be assholes who deserve what they get.

Mia, by contrast, seems more evil than her manga counterpart, though to be fair all I know of Manga/Anime Misa is that she’s Light’s fangirl sidekick, whereas in this movie she’s presented as a more ruthless,evil person than Light is who encourages him to kill more people.  I dunno, maybe this is faithful and the fandom downplayed her nefariousness - again, uninformed guy.

Ok not to go back to an old point but its weird to me how much modern horror movies seem to have trouble with, like, building tension/pace.  I mean, pacing problems have existed since stories existed, so I might just be an angry old man right now, but it feels like modern horror has forgotten how to take its damn time, outside of rare exceptions like The VVitch and The Babadook.

Needs more Ryuk

But also, like, watch it for Ryuk and L because they’re really good

Spoilery thoughts on the ending after the cut

The movie instead just kinda... ends ambiguously?  It maybe kinda implies that L will write his name in the book I think, but other than that it seems like Light just sorta gets away with it and quits.  Maybe they’re planning on a sequel or something, I dunno.  It doesn’t end so much as it just quits.

I know the Manga/Anime ends with one of Light’s plans fucking up, getting Light cornered and forcing him to ask Ryuk for help, only for Ryuk to write Light’s name in the Death Note and call Light a punkass little turd.  This movie better have a sequel because I covet that moment.

Also Light never says “Just as planned” and I feel cheated because of it.

“We have a bed invader.” You laughed softly as Josie crept into your bedroom. She was a heavy-footed child and she was not gifted at tip-toeing — especially when she had Stevie in tow.

Javier grumbled, rolling over onto his back as he threw his arm over his face. “It’s Saturday.” He cracked one eye open, before he flopped onto his stomach and buried his face in his pillow. 

“And we left the door unlocked,” You poked him in the ribs, making him jerk beside you. “Incoming.” You warned mere seconds before Josie lept onto the bed, giggling like a mad woman.

Josie draped herself over you, “Did I wake you up, mommy?”

“Only a little bit.” You nodded your head towards Javier. “But someone doesn’t want to wake up.”

“Daddy!” Josie urged, reaching over to slap her hand against his bare shoulder. “Wake up!”

He grunted, “I’m sleeping.”

“So grumpy.” You teased, reaching over to rumple his hair, before turning your attention back to Josie. “Wanna wake him up?”

She nodded excitedly and you settled her onto the bed in between the two of you. 

“I’m gonna go get your sister, you know what to do.” You smirked as you climbed out of the bed. Josie practically threw herself onto Javier, her little hands going to his sides to tickle him. He groused and tried to escape from her, but only halfheartedly 

“I see someone was already awake,” You remarked as you pushed open the nursery door. Sofía was standing in her crib, hands clamped onto the side as she bounced. 

You swept her out of the bed and carried her back into the bedroom with you. Fortunately, she’d had a diaper change around four and was good to go for a little morning cuddle. 

Josie was perched on Javier’s lower back, sitting cross-cross. “He won’t wake up.”

“You might’ve broken him,” You gave her a look as you shooed Stevie out of your spot on the bed. “Move, pup.”

She barked and Javier groaned. “I’m not going back to sleep am I?”

“No.” You laughed, cradling Sofía against your chest. She flopped comfortably onto her stomach, babbling as she reached for Javier.

“Daddy, wake up.” Josie insisted, bouncing on him and you noted the way he winced.

“Sweetheart, don’t do that.” You shook your head. 

She leaned back down and tickled his sides. “Wake up!”

“I’m awake.” He grumbled, rubbing at his eyes before tucking his arm under his pillow. “Get up and let me roll over, princesa. You’re breaking my back.”

Josie flopped onto the bed beside you, before she leaned over and showered Sofía with kisses. “Good morning sissy!”

Sofía squealed, grabbing at Josie. “Jo-Jo!”

You nudged Javier in the leg, “Wake up, old man.”

Javier rolled onto his back, staring up at the ceiling as he dragged his hands over his face. “I was sleeping good.”

“Exhausted from all the fun you had yesterday?”

He snorted, “Six hours in the pool did me in.” Javier grimaced as he sat up, stuffing a pillow behind his back. “Shit.”

Josie turned towards him, “Daddy!”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I owe you a nickel.” He told her gently, reaching over to play his fingers through her hair. “How’d you sleep, JoJo?”

“I dreamed I was swimming.” Josie flopped onto him, keeping one hand outstretched to hold Sofía’s hand. “Can I go swimming today?”

Javier gave you a look out of the corner of his eye, “Well…”

“We’ve already got plans for the day.” You told her, holding tight to Sofía as she squirmed and tried to reach for Javier. 

He pinched at the bridge of his nose, stifling a yawn before he reached over and took her from you, “It’s all good baby.”

“Mommy, what are we doing?” Josie questioned, snapping her fingers to encourage Stevie crawl further up the bed in between the two of you. 

“We’re gonna go down to the boardwalk. Maybe Monica and Nadia can join us at the arcade. Do you like the sound of that?”

Josie scrunched up her nose, “I want to swim.”

“JoJo, yesterday wore your father out.” You told her, wrapping your arm around her as you pulled her into your side. You pressed a kiss to her forehead and then her cheek, before warning her to behave. 

Sofía sprawled out on Javier’s chest, her chubby little cheek pressed against his skin. “She’s got the right idea,” He quipped. “Why don’t we stay home and watch a movie? We can grill.”

“I can grill.” You reminded him. He wasn’t a terrible cook, but he was terrible at grilling. “We’ve got veggie patties in the freezer.” You jerked, “Stevie quit licking my toes, you weirdo.”

Josie promptly leaned towards you and licked your cheek. ”I’m a dog!” She pretended to bark and Stevie echoed her with her own yelp.

Sofía gurgled and tried her own attempt at a yappy little bark. 

“If you try to lick me,” You warned Javier as he grinned at you.

“What’s going to happen?”

“I won’t rub your back tonight.” You told him pointedly. “You’re awfully grumpy this morning.”

Javier huffed, “I was looking forward to a lazy morning.”

You gestured to the dog and the girls, “Seems lazy to me.”

“You know what I mean.”

You laughed softly, “Poor Javi.” You reached over and played with his hair. “I’m a little jealous I missed out on the pool yesterday.”

“It was not nearly as fun as it sounds. Sofía was not having it. Steve and I had to trade off with her while the girls swam.”

“Olivia did cannonballs!” Josie explained to you as she scooted down the bed to pet Stevie. “Daddy wouldn’t let me try.”

“Because daddy knows that you barely enjoy getting your head wet in the bathtub.”

You snorted, covering your face to stifle your laughter. “No wonder you're exhausted.”

“Can we watch Homeward Bound?”

“Again?” Javier groaned, “Sure. Once. Then your mother and I are going to pick something else to watch.”

“I just bought Fifth Element the other night. We enjoyed it last time we rented.”

Javier nodded, “Yeah, I’m down for watching it again.” He reached up and took your hand out of his hair, interlacing your fingers. “But I will need a nap.”

“Do you want me to grab your reading glasses too?”

He flipped you off so Josie couldn’t see him. 

“If you’re going to act like that, then I’m not letting you nap at all.” You taunted with a laugh, rolling your eyes. 

Josie crawled back up the bed and flopped onto her back. “Mommy.”

“Yes, baby doll?”

“I want waffles.”

“That sounds like a daddy request.”

Javier snorted, “Now I have to make breakfast too?”

Josie pouted, “I want waffles.”

“Then I suppose I better get up and make waffles.” Javier sat up slowly, keeping Sofía secured against his chest with one hand as he dragged his fingers through his hair. “You want blueberries?”

She nodded her head quickly, “Please, daddy?”

“I’ve got you.” Javier stifled another yawn, letting Sofía crawl squirm out of his hold, depositing her on the bed in between you. “You owe me tonight.”

You grinned, “I have plans. Don’t worry, old man.”

��Good.” He winked at you. 

You crooked a finger at him, “C’mere.” 

Javier leaned over Sofía and Josie, planting a hand on the bed so he could press a kiss to your lips. 

“You’re a good father, Javi.” You patted your hand against his chest, brushing your nose against his. “Even if you’re getting old on me.”

“You try being in a pool for six hours with the Energizer Bunny.”

“That’s me!” Josie announced as she stood up and bounced on the bed.

“We were never getting a quiet morning.” You told him, scooping Sofía up as you got off the bed with Javier. 

You weren’t about to force him to make breakfast alone. 

“We did leave the door unlocked.”
