The Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action Movie Part 7: More Philosopher Stones than their PC Farm Can Possibly Render

So last we left off, a bunch of weird stuff was happening. Mustang just set Envy on fire, Lust and Gluttony kind of walked up from stage left, and Ed and Hawkeye just broke out of bougie jail and barged through a chain link fence on some Jeep. Good thing Mustang is here to explain it all to us:

(FYI I am so bad at spelling homunculus. I don’t even know which way is real anymore.)

What is incredible about this movie is just how much everyone else already knows, while Ed knows freaking nothing. Also, if you know about homunculi, then you know about sorcerer stones, and you’d know about...most of the things in Fullmetal Alchemist. Assuming that Mustang, who can look at a homunculus tattoo and be like “yep that’s a homunculus” doesn’t know anything else is kind of a big leap.

This actor had fun. I legitimately enjoy the actor who plays Mustang, I really do.

Anyway, we do get a little bit more explanation at this point by going back to the part where Hughes dies and just...showing it a second time but with this extra  reveal:

(see Hughes die yet again under the cut because this movie did it not just once but twice)

It’s at this point that Hughes turns to the phone and in his dying breath is like “It’s lab 5, go to the old POW camp, at lab 5” but not only did I think that the person on the line was the general (Because Hughes originally said it was the general) apparently now the person on the line is...Mustang? And that’s why Mustang knew about lab 5?

Like it’s...it’s just kind of confusing. I know this plot because I’ve seen the anime, but if you have not seen the anime beforehand or read the books, you’d be so freakin up a creek right now about why we saw this scene twice, and why it was completely different both times.

To make things even more confusing, that whole Tucker side plot is so random, that not even our baddies know what is going on with that whole Tucker side plot.

Anyway we have to give Gluttony and Envy have to do something in order to make their presence make sense. Honestly Gluttony just needs to have a single line in this movie.

Just everything is that same shiny neutral Phong. Look at all that Phong. Like other parts of this movie are passable, this was just so hilariously overlooked.

And like I dunno if this was a teeth harness or not but damn. Damn that looks stupid from the back, hahaha. He kind of lumbers slowly after these 9 dudes (same extras we’ve seen everywhere else, ps—this is still just the same guys) and it’s not all that scary because like...they can easily outrun him. The only way you can die to Gluttony is if you trip and then take a nap for a little bit.

Mustang gets hurt and it’s kind of funny how they shot it. It was actually rough to cap because they have to do so many tricks to not show us exactly what is happening, so they rely on sounds, on zooming in on people’s shocked expressions, because they Do Not Have The Budget to do more than this.

I don’t remember if this happened in the anime, too. Like from this point forward everything is kind of like “can you spot the source material?” because it’s just become so jumbled at this point.

Ed, who as you can imagine is a bundle of emotions by default, suddenly gets really protective of his mean Dad although like...we’ve barely made Mustang seem like a Father. Hell, we’ve barely made Ed seem like a kid. Why would he get weird and conflicted now?

Just the awkward teenage energy that only occasionally stems off of Ed is very unpredictable.

This is a full grown man.

Finally, we make it to Lab Number Five, the correct one this time. It’s got an alchemy circle…

It’s got a ceiling full of...zombie corpses, if you squint real good because I have to shrink all these images (Yes, they fit in the zombie corpses, but could not fit in the North or Father or Ling Yao or like anything Armstrong) It’s got everything that we need to put that nail into that Fullmetal Alchemist coffin, but ran out of time to fully explain or do.

It’s even got Al!

Yep, this is happening now, this part of the show. Ed is just having a WILD TIME trying to keep up with it and so are we.

So apparently Shou could just turn Al “off” this whole time. This explains why Al was just chilling under a blanket for 36 hours, but like...doesn’t really explain how Shou can do this or why he is bothering to do it right now.

But we need Shou because...well someone has to tell Ed what the plot is and what he should be doing at this very moment.

(Winry is here too)

So, with the threat of Winry getting shot in the head, Shou Tucker demands that Ed make it impossible to do any magic, because magic is very expensive and hard to animate. I could be wrong...but I’m pretty sure he also took off his right arm in the show at some point nearish to the end...I think? Forgive me, everything before 2020 is kind of a haze in my memory.

PS him ripping his hand off with all these sparks everywhere gave me serious Star Wars prequel vibes that I can’t explain. Something about the CGI, something about this contrived mess was like “Ah, I’ve felt this insanity before...long ago in a simpler time” and it was kind of nostalgic for me.

GOL LOOK AT THAT.

This Mickey Mouse glove just hot chilling on that sparking end. Hahaha I love it so much!

Shou just...delivers one of the most important reveals, sending Ed on a bit of a spirit journey because the stones he’s wanted for so long are actually very bad.

As you can imagine, because Ed likes to freak out, he has a big ass freak out, to top all freak outs. This actor spent like sooo much of his time just screaming at the ground. Which, I mean this is a shonen, so that checks out.

I’m just letting you know in case you decide to watch this movie and you have some epilepsy issues--skip this part. Just skip it. I don’t personally have it, but like...they went kind of extra in this part.

Now unlike the show, this movie has like...no apology for Dr Marcoh. Freakin stabbed him through the chest and was like “I don’t care if it means we can’t have the original FMA ending I freakin hate this guy” and you know...good on you, movie. Dr Marcoh was a really bad person. Thank you for not even attempting to justify this godawful man.

This crazy ass fanfiction movie.

Anyway, Shou directs Ed to look 10 feet up to get the rest of that juicy content. That Juicy FMA DLC that was within eye distance this entire time but youknow...cropped offscreen so it just didn’t exist.

Can’t believe this wasn’t the FIRST THING you’d notice when coming into this room, since Ed has been hardwired for red stones for like 10+ years. But youknow.

Anyways, we’re getting a ton of visual elements from FMA, just checking off that check list here in the last 1/3 of the movie. But wait, it gets weirder.

What I love about this is that Shou tells us all of this stuff because I guess Ed asked for Philosopher stones once, and even Shou is like...heyyy I figured it out! But like...hell would anyone even want to do this though?

Because that’s what happens when you have Shou freakin Tucker reveal the big master plan when he is not the big master. Like this explains nothing about Father, about Ed’s Dad, about the homunculi, about the corpses in the ceiling, like there’s just no explanation, other than just –“hey! Look at this atrocity I found just now!”

There is actually a horror element to that, where you don’t need to explain everything if you’re doing horror. If this were a horror movie, this would probably...be fine. You could have a fully explained movie by just saying “they turned POW camp people into rocks and now the zombies are here!” and that would be fine.

But it’s just...that isn’t this movie. I had so many expectations. And honestly...I expected way too much from 1.5 hours of content.

So Shou pulls a gun on Ed, which makes sense. Ed is lookin to make stones, and if stones are made out of people—then it’s time to kill Ed. First thing that make sense in this movie, but I don’t know if it makes sense coming from Shou freakin Tucker who made it seem like he just wanted to kill Ed because Ed got him arrested that one time.

It may have been just the translation on my end but like...Shou’s reason for pulling a gun out here was a little nonsense. But Shou himself is already a little nonsense anyway.

So we say goodbye, for the last time, being honest—he’s fully dead—he’s not coming back—to Shou Freakin Tucker. You were a mess Shou. I won’t miss you.

And if I forgot that this guy comes back, I fully apologize ahead of time, but I am 99% positive that I remembered that this guy never comes back.

(He might come back.)

And then Lust is like “Hakuro why did you do that? Like what are you even doing???”

And everyone else is like “Oh, the General. Of course. Why didn’t I uhhh….see that coming?”

Because they had to condense a whole bunch of corrupt Generals for this movie into one character, and so I guess Hakuro took it for the team?

Also these guys are here.

Just every single person standing in this room is pretty confused, as you can imagine. No one really expects to open up Volume 2 of FMA and it’s accidentally printed the last page of the entire series.

Anyway, that’s all for this 15 minutes (It was actually a little short 15 because there was ton of caps) I’m very tired because I did this workout routine with bro that was like 300 squats and I don’t know what day it is. I wrote “update blog” in my bullet journal (because it’s January, so I’m bullet journaling) so I’m just gonna do that because I want to use this green sparkly jelly pen and cross off all of today. Mm. Satisfying.

I was just reminded about the time a few months ago that Allie tried to fight a Navy Seal drill Sargent dude. Our facility is generally the host for navy tryouts and I’ve met the seal dude many times over the last few years and every time I’ve seen him he ends up trying to get me to join the navy because I have “A very scary yelling voice” and he found this out when him and about 30 of his little trainees came in when I was training Junior and some other lifeguard hopefulls and I was standing on a guard stand shouting while they were swimming laps.

Anyways, Allie had never had the pleasure of meeting Navy Dude who will talk your ear off for a literal hour until one day he came in with only about 5 kids to help them train more before their test with the other 25 the next day. The guys were done within 20 minutes and when Navy Dude dismissed them he waddled over to where Allie and I were standing and greeted us. After chatting for a few minutes he went into his regular recruiting line but this time it wasn’t directed at me, but at Allie. Allie had already had enough as soon as he asked her if she had ever considered joining the Navy, and since her brother is currently in the Air Force she had no interest in following in her older brother’s footsteps even if it was a different branch.

Eventually Navy Dude decided that directly asking was not going to work so he went on and on about all the perks of being in the Navy and telling all sorts of stories for not one, not two, but three freaking hours. In those three hours we had no swimmers, so no valid excuse to wigggle out of the conversation and Allie’s willingness to play nice was beining to grow thin.

Soon one thing led to another and she challenged this little mountain of pure tattooed muscle to a fight. This man had at LEAST 150 pounds on her and granted she was taller than him but that didn’t mean anything. Lucky he didn’t take offense and just started laughing and stated exactly that, he had at least 150 pounds on her and if he wanted to he could very well launch her across the pool and she would skip it like a flat rock. This however did not work in deterring Allie from trying to fight him, and she then began to call this Navy Seal a chicken and that he was just afraid to fight her. Navy Seal Dude then went on to say that since he was at least 10 years older than she was he could be charged for a great number of things and that he really couldn’t accept her challenge. Still Allie would not give up and decided to challenge him to a race and if she won he had to stop trying to recruit her.

Seeing as how nobody could really be harmed (besides pride at this point) in a race he accepted. I decided it should be a short race, only 50 meters and when I tell you Allie beat this man, she didn’t just beat him by a few milliseconds like a normal race, she beat this Navy Seal by at least 7 seconds and multiple body lengths.

I felt like a proud mom who’s kid had just won a spelling bee and as soon as Navy Dude finished, Allie mad sure he knew how much she beat him by. After that, Navy Dude finally conceded and with his wounded pride, and a good laugh, he finally left while Allie was still bouncing around the facility touting the fact that she just beat a Navy Seal.

Taglist: @retrogarden @be-more-heidi-hansen @scarsonthecuffsofyourjeans @catatonic-kuragin @bluhimaweirdo if you want to be added, just ask or PM me!

Jeremy: Hope you have a great night! Let me know if you need anything 😊

The moment Jeremy’s phone went off, both boys immediately paused Apocalypse of the Damned. The ringer had been turned up just in case something happened, and both boys were glad that Jeremy was so precautious about this particular situation. Michael jumped up and started for his linen closet that sat at the back of his closet, grabbing sheets just in case you had to stay the night on his couch.

As soon as Michael’s hands grabbed the sheets he was looking for, his best friend stopped him, holding up a single hand as he read over the text over and over again. It wasn’t that Jeremy wanted to bring you over to his house instead of the Mells, actually it would be smart to change the location just in case your boyfriend had caught on, but the text was something that Jeremy never expected from you, especially given the interaction you’d had earlier that night at Red Robin.

You: Thank you! I hope your night is going well!

There was a beat as dust seemed to settle around the room. A blue glow came from the TV screen, almost making everything around them look like some scene out of Stranger Things. Weed had been left out of the night’s activities, just in case one of them would need to drive or just in case you needed help, so the air didn’t smell of the usual stuffy smoke, but rather the tropical air freshener that Mrs. and Mrs. Mell insisted on putting downstairs in the basement. Michael put the sheet set back into the closet before closing the door and walking back to his best friend.

“They just hoped our night went well,” Jeremy said, unsure of how exactly how to read that text. With anybody else, the text was one dimensional, easy to understand and read. But with you, this could be a cover up, you could be trying to see if he was home yet so you could make your getaway again. He had subtly hint that you could hand out with him and Michael, fuck he wanted you to hang out with him and Michael, but not make it so incredibly obvious that he was trying to pull you away. Because being too obvious might result in sacrificing your safety, which was never going to be a goal of Jeremy’s.

“Good. I’m glad they’re safe,” Michael responded, relief clearing his features.

Unfortunately, Jeremy wasn’t as convinced as his best friend. He continued to stare at the small grey message as he spoke up again, “But what if it’s like…code? What if they’re actually in danger?”

“Tell them you’re over here and they’re welcome to come over if they want.”

“That isn’t discreet enough.”

The two thought about it for a little bit longer before both of them crafted a part of a text that seemed acceptable to send to you. Sure, it took an army just to send a single text, but in this case there was no such thing as too careful.

Jeremy: It is! Michael and I decided to go back to his house and play some video games in his basement

Three little dots appeared almost immediately after the text was sent, and the lanky boy wiped his hands on his jeans. Michael’s hand met his shoulder, the soft touch giving reassurance that everything was going to be okay, no matter what. It was also a way to help Jeremy calm down, breathing already evening out.

You: That sounds like fun! I’m glad you guys had a nice night!

That seemed like the end of the conversation, nothing more to it.

Then again, this didn’t seem like you. It was too short, too minimal, too…something. Jeremy thought that maybe there was something going on behind the scenes that he just couldn’t place no matter how hard he tried. So, he decided to type out another message, even though his thoughts were screaming at him to not do so.  

Jeremy: Did you make it home safely?

It was a risk, but he decided that if you weren’t you’d let him know and he could help. Yeah, this was for the best. Plus, Michael was still with him, and he was sure that his moms would love to help in any way they could.

You: I did! You: Thanks for asking btw, I thought maybe you’d want to hear from me or something You: Just because I know you texted before and I didn’t want you to worry so uhh I just got back and yeah, everything this fine.

Okay, Jeremy had to smile at that. With all the time you’d spent with him, it was like you knew him like back of your hand. You’d texted him to ease his mind, which was something he wasn’t expecting, and it meant that you’d taken notice that sometimes Jeremy is nervous about his actions and, well, you. While in the back of his mind, he knew that some of this was your conditioned habits showing, he knew that you messaging him like this, checking in with him and picking up on his mannerisms, was something that hadn’t been ingrained into your head. This was genuine, and your triple texts reassured him of that as he read over each one again and again. The glow of the TV had now becoming comforting and Michael had completely switched vibes, from concerned best friend to scrolling through his phone and completely at ease with himself. He was almost waiting for the conversation with Jeremy and you to end.

But maybe Jeremy didn’t want it to end just yet.

“Michael?”

“Yeah dude, what’s up?” he locked his phone before making eye contact with the boy who sat beside him.

“Can we save this level for another time? I…I just uhh—”

“I get it, dude. You ‘just uhh’ want to text (Y/N) for a little bit because ‘they have to be the cutest thing in the entire universe’. It’s all good, no worries, man.” Jeremy rolled his eyes at his best friend’s mocking before Michael spoke up again, “Hey, I’m just using your words, Heere. It’s not like I pulled those out of thin air.”

He saved the game before turning off the console and switching over to Netflix. It was silent as Michael went through category after category before finally settling on That 70s Show. He settled further into his beanbag as the intro played, a deep breath exiting as he did so. Relaxation radiated off of Michael’s presence, slowly seeping into the room.

Jeremy couldn’t relax, though. Now that you were safe, he realized that there was a lot more he was worried about, like figuring out how to talk to you. Which was dumb; it was dumb, right? He’d talked to you so many times that Jeremy believed this small conversation should be easy. He kind of knew what to say, at least more than he did that first night that you’d shown up on his door step, and he had a general idea of what you like, but somehow this was more nerve-racking than ever before.

“Need help?” Michael asked, leaning towards his best friend.

Jeremy nodded, “I just don’t know what to say.”

The other boy let out a chuckle at Jeremy’s usual antics. He scooched closer to him, reading over the texts you’d sent again. “Say ‘Yeah’ and then ask them about what they’re up to. Easy as that.”

The lovesick boy shoved Michael playfully as a blush appeared on his face. “Easy for you to say dude.”

But maybe it was as easy as that. Jeremy didn’t have to try and get you to like him, at least not in a romantic sense. Plus, based off of the interactions you’d already had with one another, it seemed like you already liked him in a platonic way. So yeah, maybe this was as easy as Michael made it out to be. Maybe this time he could get away with gaining confidence by his best friend’s quips of encouragement. Maybe he didn’t need a battalion to win you over.

Jeremy: Yeah! Jeremy: What are you up to now that you have a night free to yourself?

It didn’t talk very long to respond to his texts, almost implying how excited you were to talk to someone that you knew was on your side.

You: Ooooo big night tonight. I’m just getting some ice cream and then going to play Life is Strange. You: What about you?

Your comment made Jeremy light up in excitement. Not only were you responding to him in a way that made it seem like you wanted to talk to him more often than you did, but you were also joking around with him and engaging in questions that were about simple mundane things like how his night was going. He never even imagined that you’d text him in better circumstances this summer, even if they were stemmed from something that could’ve gone horribly wrong. Something told him in his heart that this conversation was done with free will, nothing coercing you. It was genuine. It was perfect.  

Jeremy smiled to himself as he typed out another message.

Jeremy: Oh man speak of the devil, Michael’s sitting next to me giving me those pacific northwest vibes.

Michael gave his best friend a weird look. Jeremy hadn’t even realized that he’d just definitely laughed out loud at his own text before Michael had given him such a weird look. Mock hurt flashed across his face “Are you teasing me?”

“We’re just talk about Life is Strange.”

“Oh haha, very funny. ‘Michael is Chloe Price’.”

“Well…”

“Those two only had each other and you know it!”

Jeremy leaned forward and giggled as his best friend cried out. After a second, the mock hurt disappeared and both best friends were laughing with one another, just like they had so many years ago, before the mocking, before Rich’s SQUIPped antics. The laughing ceased after a good minute, only short chuckles entering the room along with Michael’s sitcom choice playing in the background. Jeremy’s phone vibrated again, and he glanced at it before smiling widely to himself.

You: Oh my god 😂😂😂

The lanky boy was over the moon at this point, stars in his eyes as he read over your response probably more times than could be counted. It was so nice to talk to you…the real you. Not the broken down version of you that came into his life over a month ago, but you who liked to joke and laugh, you who liked to make blushy and flirtatious eye contact, and you who was just so perfectly conventional in the right ways.

“What do I say next?” Jeremy consulted Michael, his brain only coming up with words that had romantic connotations.

“Hmmm” he began, the sitcom now long forgotten, “ask them if they like the game so far. I think they’d enjoy it.”

“Me too,” Jeremy smiled.

Jeremy: How do you like the game so far?

He only had to wait half a second before you replied.

You: I’ve actually played it a few times…but it’s my favorite so like I love it still. 😊 You: Like I don’t think that I could ever say I don’t like it, you know?

The boy blushed at his incorrectness before straight up almost apologizing for his mistake. He began to type out a message, but Michael stopped him. “I noticed you get nervous again, but dude, that’s an honest mistake. It’s fine, trust me.”

So that’s what Jeremy typed back (as Michael yelled to the boy who only sat beside him “Use an exclamation point! You like that game too!”)

Jeremy: I didn’t know that!

He decided to joke around again, keeping the mood light and happy instead of dragging you into a lengthy apology. Michael was right, it was an honest mistake and Jeremy knew you weren’t going to judge him for it.

Jeremy: No wonder you support “Michael Price” 😂

He giggled again as he sent that, blush becoming as deep as it was when you’d called him cute weeks ago. Jeremy couldn’t believe how well this was going; talking to you was better than he could’ve ever even imagined. And it wasn’t only that, but he could talk to you for hours, not saying a word himself, but just listening to you. Jeremey swore that he could listen to you for hours at a time, getting lost in you and your cute mannerisms hour after hour. He wanted to know everything; from your favorite socks to why you like to go to that diner than the one that was closer to your house. He wanted to talk about the world with you, and everything in it.

You: I totally do omg!!!

Text didn’t seem like the right place to do that, though. He debated what he was going to say next, words of wisdom that his friends had said before coming to him: Ask them out! Even if it’s just platonic! What’s the worst that could happen? With that, and Michael’s wordless support around him, Jeremy took a breath, took a step, and took a chance.

Jeremy: Can I ask you something?

You: Sure! What’s up?

Nerves set in as Jeremy began to sweat, swallowing hard as he wiped his hands on his jeans again. Michael took note of the change in demeanor and paused That 70s Show so Jeremy could have some quiet to focus on getting the bearing to talk to you. His hands shook a little bit, but his vision remained steady as he typed out a message. Before he could delete it all and ask you something dumb instead, Michael took the phone, read over the text, and then told Jeremy to hit send. He did, thinking that Michael had altered the text in some way, but was unfortunately met with the original text, already sent to you.

Jeremy: There’s this park by my house, and I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go there one night later this week and just talk and hang out? I thought you’d just want to enjoy a friend’s company for a little bit. And you can totally say no btw.

“Michael, what the fuck?!” Jeremy hissed, taking his phone back and throwing it onto his beanbag. He stood up and started circling the room, hands running through his hair a million miles a minute.

“You wouldn’t have sent it yourself!”

“That was the point!”

His phone vibrated, but Jeremy was too caught up in himself to even care. What the fuck was he even thinking? He couldn’t even explain to you at this point that he didn’t mean it like a date, it was just meant to be friends, and now you were going to reject him and never talk to him again, and it was Michael who was supposed to change it so it read something better than what had actually sent and now he’d have to answer to the mistakes that he’d made, which included his own trusting of Michael’s judgement, which was stupid to do because he was impulsive as fuck sometimes, and now the consequences were falling on him, and damn it he blew it, he really blew it, and now, now, it was going to be impossible to—

“They said yes!”

“Wha--?!”

“They said yes Jer!”

“You’re lying,” he noted bitterly.

Michael held up your response in all of its glory, smiling goofily the whole time.

You: That sounds great! I’d love to! You: I’ve always wanted to go stargazing, and you’re totally right, I do need a friend to just talk and hang out with.

A brief moment of silence took over before Jeremy and Michael started cheering and screaming into the other’s face. Jeremy swore he could run up the basement stairs and run around the block 50 million times, just screeching “THANK YOU MICHAEL!” into the night. Because now not only was he going to see you, he was going to see you in happy circumstances, ones that he himself were setting up! The real you, the happy you, was making a comeback steadily, and Jeremy was practically over the moon with his joy.

Jeremy: Sounds great! When are you free?

You: Hmm can we do Thursday?

Jeremy: That works for me!

You: Perfect!

Jeremy could feel his heart begin to pound against his chest, even though he knew that this emeting was to be platonic and strictly platonic. And maybe that’s why he didn’t feel as much pressure or nervousness in thinking about this new event you’d both set up with one another. Normally, with Christine, he’d get super nervous after planning a date—even though this wasn’t a date—getting more nervous with each minute ticking down. This uneasiness lasted from the moment she’d said yes until he got home after the date, his hands used to be so sweaty and almost always, he held his breath like no tomorrow.

But this felt different. It was different. While you were in the worst of it, Jeremy was more than happy to offer you comfort and a place of safety when the world felt like it was crashing down. This was just something a little extra that he had been wanting to do. You’d be out in public, but after almost everyone went home for the night, as it didn’t get dark until late. And with this time in the park with you, there was a safe bet that your boyfriend wouldn’t find the two of you. Thinking it over again, though, if both of you did get caught, you’d have an alibi and Jeremy would be there to protect you if things got bad. It would be easy; you two would go to Jeremy’s car and go over to Michael’s house to wait out your boyfriend’s anger for the night, laughing and talking while simply being what you were supposed to be: teenagers that were excited to start a new life away from home.

Just to be sure, though, Jeremy had to double check with you. It was the only way to ensure your safety in a public space for something that, to a single passerby, would look like you two were on a date.

Jeremy: I just want to make sure because I don’t want you to get hurt Jeremy: uhh is your boyfriend okay with us hanging out?

It took you a few seconds to respond, happiness still coming with each and every letter you’d typed out.

You: I don’t know why he wouldn’t be okay with it!

A sigh flushed through Jeremy, relief allowing him to breathe deeply as he typed a small message back.

Jeremy: Great! So I’ll see you on Thursday! Jeremy: We can meet there too, if you’d like. At maybe around 9:30ish? It gets dark pretty late right now

You: Sounds perfect! I’ll see you then!

He smiled to himself before locking his phone and refocusing on the sitcom that had been started back up. Jeremy didn’t even notice his best friend watching it again, his whole focus on you, the person of his dreams, agreeing to even just hang out with him for an extended amount of time. Then again, you’d done that many times before. But this wasn’t like those times, and he knew that.

Jeremy joined Michael, sitting on the bean bag next to him before the slushie-enthusiast spoke up. “Jer’s got a date.”

“It’s not a date, Michael.”

“Sure…uh huh…okay,” Michael said, unconvinced of what his best friend said.

“It’s not though. Seriously. I don’t want to intrude on that relationship, even if it’s—”

“Horrible, awful, the absolute worst, literal hell—”

“I get it, dude,” he paused for a second. “but still, cheating would be bad. I mean, look what it did to Brooke. Plus, with the SQUIP…I just don’t feel comfortable with it, you know?”

“Yeah, dude. I was just teasing.”

Jeremy’s phone went off again, another text from you making an appearance. He smiled at your text, reading the preview. Before he swore that you couldn’t get any cuter, but once again, he was completely wrong.

You: Hey I’m going to bed because I’m literally falling asleep on my couch. You: But thank you so much for inviting me to do something, it’s nice to be able to have some times to relax with a friend.

He could just imagine you, half tired, falling asleep as Life is Strange played in the background. Jeremy could see your head resting, controller just out of your grip, mouth hung slightly open in the most delicate way, as heavy breaths sent you off to sleep. Yeah, he definitely wanted to see that one night.

Jeremy: No problem. Jeremy: Get some rest, okay? You deserve it. I’ll see you on Thursday.

You: See you on Thursday, Jeremy 😊 You: Have a wonderful rest of your night

[kylorenpunk]

Do them all. Suffer as I did 😂

Bitch I told you this was our friendship. We force each other to answer all the questions. 

1. selfie

Well… I wasn’t dubbed Selfie Queen for nothing… 

This one is interesting bc I have zero makeup on. The most recent ones are too blurry. A lot of my fav selfies are full faces of makeup tho. 

2. what would you name your future kids?

I feel like that’s a decision for both parents but I really like the names Felicity, Isabella and Dimitri. Yes, all of them are names from various franchises I enjoyed throughout the years. Be glad I’m out of my phase where I thought Vladimir was a good name. 

3. do you miss anyone?

I miss all my friends I don’t get to see frequently. Love all of y’all and hope y’all are doing well in life! 

4. what are you looking forward to?

Fucking graduating. Jesus Christ it’s taken me five damn years. 

5. is there anyone who can always make you smile?

From my club it’s Chris, Yara and Josephine. Also my entire friend group from back home. Honestly I love my friends so much. 

6. is it hard for you to get over someone?

I feel like every situation is different so that’s a tough question to answer. 

7. what was your life like last year?

I honestly don’t remember much from December of last year. It was a good time though. 

8. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed?

I’m an emotional bitch. I’ll cry over anything. I cried over fucking Mulan the other day. 

9. who did you last see in person?

My parents and brother. Earlier in the day my club. 

10. are you good at hiding your feelings?

I’m shit at it. My face gives away everything. The other day my professor was going into her inspiration porn narrative and I just gave her a cold dead look the entire time. 

11. are you listening to music right now?

No but I have the Hamilton soundtrack stuck in my head right now since that’s what I was last listening to. If you haven’t heard it I highly suggest it. Man I wanna see it so badly. 

12. what is something you want right now?

Sleep but I’m trying not to throw off my sleep schedule right now and am waiting a bit before going to bed. I only got three hours of sleep last night so that’s fun. 

13. how do you feel right now?

Kinda tired. Relieved that I got two service projects in a row done today. It’s been a long weekend. 

14. when was the last time someone of the opposite sex hugged you?

My friend Sebastian hugged me when I dropped him off. I guess that counts. 

15. personality description

I’m a makeup loving nerd who enjoys sitting in pajamas watching anime and superheros as much as she enjoys swatching EVERY lipstick in Sephora. According to my friends I can’t go 5 seconds without mentioning how old I feel and my love for Dungeons and Dragons. I’m also an asshole. (Wow this sounds like a 12 year old writing this)

16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?

Yeah tons of times. It’s bitten me in the ass. Oh well live and learn I guess? 

17. opinion on insecurities.

Everyone has them? If they say they don’t then they are lying. Mine is mainly related to my appearance or how I speak. 

18. do you miss how thing were a year ago?

I miss how things were in the beginning of this year. It started off strong then kinda turned into a shit show. 

19. have you ever been to New York?

No but it’s my top thing on my bucket list. My friends and I are highly considering a trip. 

20. what is your favourite song at the moment?

Of all time: Get Low by Lil Jon 

Currently: “Told You So” by Little Mix (If you haven’t heard their new album I highly suggest it if you love girl groups that preach women empowerment) 

21. age and birthday?

22 - June 21st (She’s a Cancer)

22. description of crush.

I don’t have a hardcore crush right now. More like 5 second crushes that are over the second they do something I don’t like.

23. fear(s)

Heights, something terrible happening to my loved ones, wild snakes, and the usual common anxiety fears 

24. height

Five foot three inches. I’m short. Yes I know it’s not that short but tall people like to put me in the short category anyway. 

25. role model

My mom’s coworker who was my internship supervisor. She has a doctorate’s in what I want to do and is amazing at what she does. The amount of knowledge and experience that women has is incredible. She is also extremely funny and knows how to teach with a sense of humor which I appreciate.

Now my friends are mainly girls but when I lived in Tampa 90% of my friends over there were guys (Hi Mason). I’m going to say that’s bc of us all playing video games in the Delta lounge (RIP Dirty D). But yeah now it’s mainly girls and 80% of my dude friends are gay.

Private Lessons (8/10)

Dad!Chris Evans/first person OFC (Elaina)

A/N: I’m putting another authors note at the end so I don’t spoil things. I don’t think there’s any warnings here. It’s just a lot of fluff.

Synopsis: Elaina is teaching swimming lessons to a little boy named Lukas when she discovers that he is the son of Chris Evans. When Chris approaches Elaina to do private lessons with Lukas at the Evans’ home will things heat up? Will Elaina turn into a home wrecker that she never wanted to be?

(about the gif: I didn’t know what to use and this doesn’t relate, but look at him.)

The week dragged by, but of course the short time I got to see Chris on Friday went by at superspeed. Lukas’ lesson went well, but Chris had work to do so I headed home right after. I was just settling into my couch with wet hair and a bowl of ice cream when my phone went off.

Chris: Are you ready for tomorrow?

Me: I would be more ready if you would tell me what we were doing.

Chris: It’s a surprise, but I promise you’ll love it.

Me: I hate surprises.

Chris: Everyone says that, but I’ll give you a hint 😉

Me: Wow how generous of you. I roll my eyes but giggle after hitting send.

Chris: It used to be an Orange Grove.

I stare at the text trying to think of what he could mean before it clicks into place and I’m suddenly grateful for a 10 page paper I had to write years ago. I can’t put my excitement into a text message so I call Chris instead.

“Hello” he’s barely through the word before I interrupt him

“Are you taking me to Disneyland?!”

“Oh my god how did you know that?” he laughs into the phone.

“I wrote a paper on Walt Disney, I know a lot about Disneyland. I’m right, right?”

“Yes you’re right”

“I can’t wait!” I squeal, “Lukas is coming then, right?”

“I wasn’t planning on bringing him”

“What! Why not? It’s literally for kids and you’re not going to bring your kid?”

“Well, it was supposed to be a date”

“It can still be a date”

“I’m not sure it works like that”

“Chris, I’m the one you’re taking on a date and I’m telling you that Lukas can come. If you don’t want to bring him that’s up to you. But I won’t be upset or anything if he comes along” It’s silent on the other line for a few beats so I try to lighten the mood “Besides it’s the happiest place on earth, there’s no possible way I could be upset there”

“You do have a point there. I’ll think about it, and since you figured out the original surprise, this can be the surprise”

“Oh whatever” I giggle.

“I’ll pick you up around 7, we have a bit of a drive”

“7am? Dude you could’ve told me that before I decided ice cream was a good idea”

“Ice cream is always a good idea! Never regret eating ice cream”

“Yeah says the man with the body of a god” I say around a mouthful of ice cream.

He bursts out laughing and I can perfectly picture him falling back and grabbing his chest, “I haven’t had the body of a god since the last time I put the Cap suit on” he finally tells me.

“Well that’s the biggest lie I’ve ever heard,” I deadpan. “I saw you shirtless less than a week ago, and I can assure you, you still have the body of a god”

“I’m not sure, but thank you for boosting my ego”

“Oh of course, that’s what I’m here for” he laughs again before I continue, “Well since you’re going to be here at 7, I should probably get ready for bed”

“Yeah, I’ll see you tomorrow”

“I’ll see you and Lukas tomorrow” I tease.

“We’ll see. Goodnight Elaina”

“Goodnight, Chris” I can’t wipe the smile off my face while I get ready for bed, or even once I’m trying to sleep. My mind is racing with thoughts of the coming day and I’m sure I don’t fall asleep until sometime after midnight.

My alarm goes off, loud and clear, at 6am. Saturday’s are normally my day to sleep in and recharge from the week full of early mornings, so waking up early is a shock to my body. I roll out of bed, literally, and sit on the floor while I look through my clean laundry basket to decide what to wear before heading to the bathroom to shower. I pick a halter top jean dress with a lace pattern on the bottom. I shower quickly, skipping washing my hair because I’m going to wear it up anyways. After I’m dressed I put on some foundation and mascara while praying that I won’t sweat it off. I twist my hair into a high bun and call it good.

I have about 15 minutes before Chris is supposed to be here so I make a bowl of cereal and sit down on the couch to watch the news while I eat. I almost fall asleep in a matter of minutes, coffee is definitely needed today. I’m just filling my travel mug when there’s a knock on my door.

“Good morning!” Chris cheers as soon as I open the door.

“Good morning” I mumble while he kisses my cheek.

“Smile, we’re going to Disneyland!” I try to keep a straight face but can’t help but smile. He cheers for getting me to smile before asking if I have everything I need. I grab my purse and coffee and slip on some flats. “Yes, I’m ready. So, no Lukas?”

“Yes, Lukas” he smiles at me. “He fell asleep on the way over here so he’s in the car”

“Good” I give his hand a squeeze while we make our way down to the parking lot.

Lukas slept for most of the ride, waking up in time to sing along to Disney songs for the last 20 minutes. Chris has a parking pass and has already purchased our tickets so we don’t have to wait in line. As soon as we step through the gates my heart stops, I haven’t been to Disneyland since I was a little kid and the memories don’t do a justice. Chris stops when I do and looks at me with a smirk. My face flushes and I smile, shaking my head, before I keep walking. Lukas  ran a couple feet ahead of us and started jumping in place when Chris told him to wait for us.

“Where to first?” Chris asked me when we caught up to Lukas.

“I wanna find Mickey!” Lukas shouts while tugging on Chris’ arm.

“This is Elaina’s trip, we talked about this Lukas” Chris says pointedly.

“We can find Mickey, I don’t even know where to go first. Whatever you guys normally do, I’m down for whatever”

“Are you sure?”

“Chris I haven’t been here since I was like 10, literally just standing here the whole day will make me happy”

“Since you were 10? You’ve been living in California for over a year and you haven’t come to Disneyland yet?” he asks incredulously.

“Struggling actress, remember?” I shrug and smile

“Ah right, well I’ll take you to Disney as many times as you want” I giggle as he gives me a side hug and presses a smacking kiss to my temple.

We eventually find Mickey, after stopping to take pictures with every character we pass along the way. After we’re happy with the characters we’ve met we start going through rides. Chris requests Space Mountain and Lukas requests Autopia. We take a lap through a good portion of the park, stopping to check out different attractions and going on rides that look fun. We eat pretzels and ice cream for lunch. (it’s vacation right?) After lunch we go on the Star Tours before heading to the Mad Tea Party ride. I’m in charge of picking where we eat dinner and so naturally I pick Ariel’s Grotto. Dinner is phenomenal, not to mention the fact that we met Mulan, Ariel, and Jasmine.

Once dinner is over it’s almost dusk so we hurry over to the castle to watch the parade and fireworks. Chris finds us a good spot and sits Lukas on his shoulders so he can see over the crowd. I get so engrossed in watching the parade that I jump when Chris reaches down to hold my hand. He chuckles lightly while rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb. Lukas falls asleep during the parade with his arms wrapped under Chris’ chin and his head laying on Chris’. I help Chris untangle himself from Lukas and grab him off of Chris’ shoulders. Chris take Lukas and holds him against his chest; Lukas stirred slightly but quickly buried his face in Chris’ shoulder and went back to sleep.

“He always misses the end of the parade and sleeps until the fireworks are almost over” he half-whispers to me.

“It’s been a long day, and without a nap it makes sense. But I’m surprised the fireworks don’t wake him up at the beginning” Chris just shrugs and smirks his response as he looks towards the castle. The music and the lights start and I can’t help but look around in awe. Chris keeps watching my reaction and I flush, embarrassed by the tears welling up in my eyes.

“Look, they’re starting” he smiles at me while he shifts Lukas so he can hold my hand again. I hold his hand tightly, trying to remember that this isn’t a dream.

“How can he sleep through all this?” I half yell into Chris’ ear. He laughs and shrugs his response. The fireworks last around 15 minutes and I’m just as in awe when they’re over as when they started. I keep looking around, waiting for more. It takes Chris squeezing my hand for me to realize that it’s actually over.

“So the park is open until midnight, so if you want to do something else or even just walk around and look at the lights we can do that” he suggests.

I look at Lukas’ still sleeping form and decide quickly, “We can head out. Lukas would probably rather sleep in his bed and I’m sure you don’t want to carry him for 2 hours”

“Oh, I was going to make you carry him” he smirks.

“Then we definitely need to leave” I joke.

“Are you sure? I can always rent a stroller for him”

“I’m sure, I’m actually pretty tired too, so if we stay until midnight I will most definitely fall asleep on the ride home”

“Oh, no. If you sleep then I sleep” I says in mock seriousness

“Then we better go” I laugh. He eventually agrees and we head back to the parking lot. The ride home feels shorter than the ride there, but maybe that’s because I don’t want the night to end. Chris and I talk about random things the whole ride, like what we ride is our favorite and what our favorite moment was. Of course we both said the fireworks, how can that not be the most magically moment.

“The fireworks are always amazing, but watching you react to them make it ten times better”

All I can do is smile and look out the window for a beat before my brain comes back and I give him a smart ass comment, “Looks like you can’t go to Disneyland without me then, it would just be a disappointment” I meant it as a joke, but Chris thought it over a lot before responding.

“I can live with that. I want to go a lot of places with you, Elaina”

“Really?” the word slipped out before I could stop it.

“Yes, really” he takes my hand in his before continuing. “You said this was more than a fling for you, it’s a lot more than a fling for me too”

“I know, I’m really excited to see where this takes us. I guess I’m just still surprised that you want me, it’s like I’m just waiting to wake up from a dream that I don’t want to end”

“It’s not a dream, and it’s not going to end” he meets my eyes quickly while he talks before looking back at the road.

“You sound very confident” I say with a smile.

“I am,” he says as he brings my hand up to kiss my knuckles. Once the heavy stuff is over we go back to talking about Disney and how we need to go to Disney World so we can go to Animal Kingdom. I claim that Lukas would love the animals but we both know it’s really for me. When we get back to my apartment Chris leaves the car running for Lukas, taking his key fob so that he can lock him in, while he walks me to my door. When we get to my door I turn to face him, he doesn’t waste anytime before pressing his lips to mine and backing me into the door. My hands tangle in his hair while he pulls my hips closer. It’s frantic and sloppy and doesn’t take long for me to need to come up for air. I pull away for a second a run my fingers along his scalp.

“I’ve wanted to do that all day” he breathes.

“Me too” I admit easily and give him another chaste kiss.

“Which is why I was going to leave Lukas with the nanny” he chuckles after his admission.

“I know, but it was still a fun day. Besides, there’s a lot of other kids at Disney so we still probably shouldn’t do this there”

“I suppose you’re right”

“I’m always right” I tease.

“Oh really?” he runs his hands up my sides and I squeal as he tickles me.

“Stop, stop, stop. It’s like 1am I can’t wake up my neighbors”

He stops and kisses me again before speaking, “I’m glad I found that trick” he smirks before kissing my forehead and walking away.

A/N 2: I’ve never been to Disneyland so I have no idea if this makes sense or is like realistic or anything. I did do a lot of research though so I hope it’s good :)

Yugioh S2 Ep4: How to Go on a Date Without Actually Going on a Date

Ah, summertime! Love is in the air, can’t you feel it?

Well uh...thunderclouds. I guess. It’s ominously pouring rain. It’s as if the show has turned in it’s squeaky swivel chair said to us “look, we’re giving you a date episode...but don’t you be gettin’ any ideas!” and then swiveled right back around to face a blank wall.

I’m sure that they will put in some sort of cute backdrop...eventually.

While mopping the gross purple floor and talking about Joey’s nuts soap opera family.

Y’all did they get reference for this shot? I sure hope so. I sure hope that in some animation studio in Japan, two dudes fumbled together to assemble this particular formation, and then a third dude was like “Perrrrfect, now can you hold that for five minutes for me so I can draw it out?”

(read more under the cut)

So here and now, suddenly inspired by the very romantic tableau of threatening rain and thunder, Yugi sees an opportunity to fill out that bucket list, as it is the end of the world and all. So, he cracks his knuckles, remembers the advice from his Grandfather, wisely decides to forget that advice, and stumbles through the absolute weirdest way to officially ask out the girl you’ve been unofficially dating since you were like 10:

...

Start over.

So...he goes up to Tea...starts asking her out--but then makes it into a blind date with the ghost in his body? Because he’s...concerned about Pharaoh?

OK kid.

It’s just very Muto in that not only does he ask this girl out in the pouring rain, probably hoping for a lightning cue that thankfully never came, but this date can only be done through the medium of a very sad dead guy.

And even Tea wonders “I talk to Pharaoh kind of a lot, what the hell are you going on about?”

But what do you do, girl? Looks like you got stuck on a date trap with a dead dude! At least he has the better butt!

Now, you might say “Rach, he didn’t use the word “date” so this isn’t a date.” but y’all must’ve had a very different high school experience than I, because, unless forced to go to a socially obligatory dance, High Schoolers generally never say “lets go on a date,” they make sneaky date traps.

This is universal, the classic “I REALLY need your help with something I can easily accomplish myself. Meet me at the mall, although we could do this probably right now at school. Don’t bring Joey.”

So, Yugi either has a lot of trust in Pharaoh, or he’s seeing this as a clever way to avoid the actual dating part of dating Tea.

Dude...he’s on to something here. This is an ascended level of friend-zoning. Here I was thinking Yugi was pretty worthless with that puzzle, and then he just BAM unlocks it’s actual, true potential with the ultimate dating dodge. Like, Tea can’t even be mad. He’s on the date even. But also--*not on the date*--gets to enjoy the fun stupid stuff-- *doesn’t have to do any boring stuff*--Goes on a date--*but can’t call it a relationship if it wasn’t hypothetically with yourself* like this actually a pretty great set up and at first I was like wow, what an idiot, and now I’m like 5 paragraphs later and low key jealous I can’t do this Schrödinger's Date nonsense myself.

Anyway, despite how awkward he made it, Yugi is SUPER excited about this date. It’s ALMOST as if he’s going on it himself--which again, he is not. He’s just fretting in a mirror going all “Pharaoh’s gonna freakin love this. I love setting up my friends! Especially when they share the same body as me! Hahaha don’t think about it!”

But apparently Pharaoh was totally sleeping when Yugi was talking to Tea (and probably is whenever Tea shows up, lets be real) because he has no idea that Yugi has done this.

First off--Yugi’s art on the wall.

Ok, glad we all saw it together.

Second off, I love the motif of “kid is going on a date, so he throws everything he owns onto his bed and throws on the other half his closet to make the most ridiculous joke combo” because here it means Pharaoh has to wear the same weird ass outfit.

Y’all I cannot believe this anime is doing this three-way I just cannot. It’s been like a full season building up to it but it still feels VERY sudden.

And, as you know, I have a superpower that makes me immune to shipping, I dunno...maybe it’s because I grew up with the nuts Harry Potter era of ships (freakin Snape/Lily)? Or maybe that I come from the era of Kingdom Hearts-style romance twists (whooo will he eat ice cream with)? I feel like I can’t throw too many rocks at this ship because I know when my house is glass. Especially since I enjoy shows that are bonkers, I’ve seen some weird ass dating stuff that didn’t make me bat an eyelash. I watched Season 2 of Seaquest where at least 2 people accidentally ask out their own Mother. I would double check, but it was so awful Netflix pulled it (or trust me I’d be recapping that show, too)

Personally, I have never wanted to date a ghost but I guarantee other people have thought about it. And, youknow, if it’ll make the 2002-era tweens that were super excited about this ship happy, lets get these kids on a date and get this over with. With the Pharaoh that died at hell knows what age, was reborn so hypothetically you could also argue he’s only like a couple years old, and was mind wiping up until basically a couple weeks ago. Whatever, it’s a new season, he’s a new boy, just, don’t think about it, sit back and enjoy it for what it -- HOLY CRAP

What fake-goth funeral date are you going to here!? Wow. This is...This is a bad choice of clothes! It’s the middle of the day! Other people are in shorts. He is wearing so many chains from his neck, to his bracelets...also he still has that massive bike lock chain on - the one that went through a FIRE.

And does his shoes have freakin studs?

At least neck belt is still here.

I’d say he doubles as a stage tech but with those 7 bangles he’s got on, he would make too much noise. He’d sound like a freakin wind chime.

Anyways, Yugi switches places and Pharaoh freaks the Hell out like he’s been pranked. I wish it were a prank, y’all, I wish it were. But this is actually happening on this television show where the only other legit romance we saw was Pegasus macking a ghost.

MAN ghosts gets a lot of action in this show.

Now, this anime gets a lot of flack, but it does do one thing, and that’s make me appreciate something I forget a lot of the time when I see character designs in pictures rather than in motion. And it’s that that character design’s aesthetic includes physics. Sometimes--like very often in Yugioh--the aesthetic is mostly about those physics and what all these separate pieces do when they move.

In Yugioh, the designs are a hot mess. I can’t say they aren’t. But, there is a reason why he has all those moving bangles--it’s because he holds cards a lot and that’s where is camera is. I guarantee, when jacket comes back it’ll be flowing in the wind 100% of the time. Every single one of Yugi’s weird bangs can sway around like a weather vane.

So, while this looks not great from the get go, by the time you’ve watched Yugioh for a while, it all comes back together somehow. That’s the thing--that’s what Yugioh proves, it’s that no matter how freakin weird and abstract your design is, if it has the right physics, you’ll have a good time, and that’s an aesthetic all in itself that can’t be described in photo caps.

BUT

but

but, it’s still hella fun to roast Yugi for it because like--look what he’s wearing.

First stop on their date: a diner of lies that gave us no anime food. Just some nondescript milkshake. Every time we see a diner and I don’t get to see anime food my heart shrivels a little smaller like the Grinch.

Yo I assumed the neck belt was attached to the belt-shirt before--but I guess not. Oh man was belt shirt a turtleneck the whole time??? A belt TURTLENECK?

Tea decides to pull out her idea. The idea that Yugi asked her to give Pharaoh--that she could have just...given...straight to Yugi...but here it is. Here’s the big Tea idea.

Tea suggests “Listen, you don’t know who you’re going to be, but that’s true of everyone” which kind of ignores destiny and prophecies and the end of the world, but she’s gonna be a dancer, OK? And because Pharaoh hasn’t seen very much of the world, and is as impressionable as a newborn lamb, he just soaks it right up.

And so they decide not to go to the Museum because Pharaoh’s not feeling it. Probably also has a sixth sense that the museum is currently staffed by the most boring Millennium Item.

FYI this is exactly what my local Dave & Busters looks like floor to ceiling. It’s a real disappointment. It has only 1 DDR machine and one off brand DDR machine, unlike this place.

Yugioh has more diversity than most Anime I’ve seen, but it’s still a work in progress. Also, it’s hard to spot but keep an eye out for this guy’s fringe moccasins.

...Someone brought their briefcase to the arcade? Wh...why?

This whole episode is a whole lot of why.

WHAT?

Everyone just kinda watched this go down?

Again, I’ve never actually played DDR at an arcade because it’s always taken by two sweaty high schoolers who are sweating like ALL OVER the handlebars, and I’m just like...I could ask them to move or...I could not touch their sweat? So, long story short, if DDR involves elbowing each other in the face, this is news to me, and I have been missing out.

Long story short, she wins. We actually get to see Tea use her one and only useful skill--dance fighting. We’ll probably never see it again. Glad they gave us a very long narcissistic Tea dancing montage while they were there. Wish it was done to ska, but you can’t have everything.

And right when this settles into a romantic sunset I start to worry because we’re getting VERY close to a non-vague situation. The show senses this too and just, out of no where, pulls any distraction to get them away from said sunset.

Y’all how do you even manage to draw a spike mullet with dreads?

And here we all thought we’d get through this episode without cards!

JK, you were absolutely right for thinking that.

In her defense, he did try to elbow jab her in the head.

Anyways, after seeing Tea tear through Johnny Steps, Pharaoh feels like maybe he can handle whatever crazy thing happened to him 5000 years ago. He decides “Lets go recklessly open that Pandora’s box!”

I just noticed his second belt has a fanny pack on the butt for his cards.

Well, that was...still vague somehow. Good. Got me worried there for a second.

Next week, on Yugioh:

Bets on how long it takes for the show to never mention this date again and immediately forget these two were an item, I’m betting at the very beginning of the next episode? Are we going to get the same exposition but for the second time--will I even have anything to recap? In the dark is Yugi just a pair of swinging arms?
