#vendetta sequel mc

[jpriest85-blog]

It was a bit early, but I came up with some concept art of @vendetta-if sequel MC. Including portraits of my MC, Akami, Luka, Jackal, and my interpretation of her older brother Konstantin. While Konstantin does share Luka's height and eye color, I headcanon he inherited most of his features from his late Uncle Viktor. This probably triggers a lot of bittersweet memories for Luka when he sees his children playing and getting a very vivid sense of deja vu at how much his son looks like how he remembers Viktor as a child. Either way, he's glad Akami has such a close relationship with her older brother... although it worried Luka at first how many times she tried to bite Kosta as a toddler. Here's some more info about Akami

Vendetta sequel MC

Name: Akami Morozova

Nickname: Ai-chan,  or норка (norka).

Gender: Female 

Sexual preferences: Lesbian 

Birthday: April 8

Zodiac: Aries

Face claim: Mikako Tabe

Body claim: Maika

Height: 5ft.2”/158cms.

Ethnicity: Japanese 

Hair: long, straight black hair with blunt bangs

Eyes: Black 

Complexion: Pale

Tattoos & distinguishing features: A long thin scar that starts on the left corner of her mouth going down her neck to her collar bone. An Irezumi tattoo on her right shoulder depicts a mink drawn like a kamaitachi wearing a jackal skull on its head.

Personality: Akami tends to come across as a Stoic and intense person, which can be expected considering her role in the family is to assist her older brother,Konstantin, and take out any threats to him or the family. Although many people tend to underestimate her at first since she's rather petite and baby faced. They're quick to regret it, though, as Akami is very brutal. Adopted or not, Akami is still a Morozov, and one of her fathers’ is an infamous hitman, and she very much is Jackal's daughter. She is also intensely competitive and hates to lose. While it did help motivate her to improve during combat training, it did cause problems in less high stakes situations. Such as Akami attempting to bite her brother when they were young children whenever she lost against him playing board games. Thankfully, Akami has outgrown the habit of biting people…mostly anyway. 

Despite Akami's history of aggressive behavior, she does have a fondness for cute things and even used to dress in Lolita fashion clothes as a teenager. She also tends to get flustered easily around beautiful women turning bright red and attempting to hide behind her longer hair. While Konstantin will often tease Akami about trying to hide her soft side, he does look out for his baby sister and often tries to play wingman for her. While it does embarrassed Akami, since she's not good about dealing with feelings, other than rage. She does appreciate that her older brother is one of the few people she willingly confides in with personal matters. Besides, it's not like she can ask their dads for advice with girls, and Konstantin is the only other relative, besides their cousin Katerina, with actual social skills. 

Her older brother also helps Akami rein in her temper since she's also prone to active impulsively. Having grown up together Konstantin knows his sister well enough to intervene early before she does something reckless, although sometimes he does have to physically restrain Akami, and he's one of the few people with both the physical strength and trust with her to be able to pull it off. While Akami's relationships with her brother have grown more professional since he became the new family head, it's not always completely serious. They will still affectionately tease each other and get into childish arguments with each other when in private. They're still siblings, after all. Once in a while, Akami and her brother still indulge in the same dumbass stunts and games they enjoyed as kids. Like Akami convincing her older brother to use his laser vision to blow up a watermelon or pumpkin filled with fireworks! From a safe distance and with safety gear, of course, they don't want to risk their father, Luka, freaking out and putting them both on house arrest again like last time. 

Additional info & Headcanons

Akami didn't speak until she was an older toddler. It worried both Artyom and Luka when they first brought her home. They had many doctors and specialists check on her, and they didn't find any physical impairments to her delayed speech. The doctors tried to assure her fathers that she's still within the windows for her first words. Unfortunately, the first words they would hear from their daughter weren't Dada or Papa. It was hearing Akami telling Takashi to “fuck off” after he annoyed the little girl by fawning over her too much and pinching her cheeks. Thankfully he wasn't too offended after the initial shock of hearing baby Akami cursing at him, and most of the family found it funny. Luka took a bit longer to find the humor that his youngest daughter's first words were cussing out an ally and family friend like she was a tiny Samuel L. Jackson.

Akami had a hard time making friends with other kids her age growing up. So her older brother Konstantin was her only friend for a while since he was one of the few people who always figured out how to get her to open up.

Akami has a stuffed Axolotl plushie Konstantin won for her at Carnival game when they were kids. She was upset she was too small to ride anything fun, so her brother made a point to win her the giant salamander plushy to cheer her up. It was her favorite toy, and she still keeps it even as an adult but would never admit it.

Konstantin was also the first one to take Akami out drinking when she was old enough. While it was fun Akami did give her brother a heart attack the next day when he went to check on how she's handling her first hangover by crawling out from under her bed doing a very convincing impression of Sadako from The Ring. It's not like she did it on purpose, but the fact Akami is naturally pale with long dark hair combined with her bloodshot eyes, and unsteady gait while hung over gives her an eerie resemblance to the iconic ghost girl popular in Asian horror films.

Akami received the large scar on her face and neck from an early assination mission that went sideways. She narrowly avoided getting her carotid artery cut but thankfully survived. Both her fathers and brother were furious that someone would dare scar Akami's pretty little face but they were proud to learn she did worse to the bastard who cut her, by tearing out his lower jaw…until she asked if she could keep the piece of jawbone as a trophy.

Akami has an affectionate nickname based on an animal. Her family calls her норка (norka) since it's the Russian word for mink. Her grandfather was the first one to use Nickname since, like the animal, Akami looks small and soft but is quite an aggressive predator. She even received a mink coat from him as a gift, and even as an adult, Akami prefers wearing mink coats when it snows.

Both Akami and Konstantin have a close relationship with their older cousin Katerina, to the point she's become a maternal figure to them. Like how Aunt Cara used to be a mother figure to Katerina when she was young.

Akami and Konstantin are also raised in a multilingual household. They both grew up speaking English, Russian, Cantonese, as well as Japanese considering their close relationship with the Aikawas.

Likewise, they are also close to Katerina's SOs Ash and Rin. All three of them had some influence over Akami in some way. Kitty would often take Akami shopping and dress her up, which is partly why Akami is fond of cute clothes. Rin helped instill a love of music with her, and Ash helped Akami with combat training.

Ash also unintentionally inspired Akami's arsonist tendencies. As a toddler, Akami would always giggle and get excited whenever she saw Ash create a small flame. Granted, Ash is usually more careful about using her abilities around the kids, but how could she say no to little Akami pleading to see her make fire appear on her finger tips. Especially with how cute the little girl is when she giggles and claps like she's watching a magic show. Until Akami starts trying to make her own fires. Thankfully, Luka is experienced in dealing with short tempered girls who start fires, although he makes sure to check that Akami isn't taking any flammable materials with her before she leaves the house.

While Akami also grew up close to the Aikawa family, both as allies and in-laws, since Rin married her cousin Katerina. Rin also helped influence a love of music in her. Akami was a very aggressive child, and Rin noticed early on that music had a soothing effect on her, which came in handy whenever Kitty volunteered to babysit her cousins. Akami does wind up taking music lessons growing up and does develop a beautiful singing voice, although she rarely sings in front of anyone outside her family. Akami has a preference for R & B, Soul, Jazz, and Blues music and even took up playing the drums as a teenager.

While Akami shares both her fathers distaste for large formal parties, she does try to restrain herself. Unfortunately for Akami, that restraint means punching a man in the crotch instead of stabbing him when he incessantly asked her to dance after she already said no. Thankfully, Konstantin knows his sister well enough to prevent such incidents by introducing her to groups of pretty women. Sure, Akami doesn't say much, but she's more likely to come across as adorably shy by being flustered around a group of socialites. Instead of insulting a potential ally's family by punching someone (although that one jackass did deserve it by not accepting his sister's refusal).

if sequel!MC was adopted, how did they inherent jackal’s power?

They just happened to have the same power as Jackal’s and that’s actually one of the reasons they got adopted. Jackal just immediately felt a connection and wanted to help them figure it out and mastered it to the fullest potential ☺️

[twistedtummies2]

Okay, so you've magically gotten the resources, time, and skilled developers you need to create your dream game, what would it be? It can be any genre (fighting, platforming, open world), starring your own original ocs you've had for a while or completely new ones made just for the game. Or a game adaptation of a movie,show, or novel, or even a sequel or spinoff of a video game franchise. Or you could just tell us about both options if you want.

I think someone has asked me this question before, but I'll answer again, since it's been a while if so. If I had the chance to make any video game in the world, it would be one of two things. Both of which are adaptations of earlier works, and both are SLIGHTLY on the obscure side. Only slightly though. LOL

First up is The Shadow. The Shadow is a character who started off as the narrator for a crime/mystery program. The character became so popular, he was turned into the protagonist of his own pulp magazine series, and then a new radio show all about his adventures. Since then, he has mostly survived in comics, and has passed through various publishers over the decades - both DC and Marvel owned him at different points, and he is currently the property of Dynamite Entertainment. The character is most well-known today for being "the father of modern superheroes," as he inspired characters like Batman, Daredevil, the Punisher, V from V for Vendetta, Rorschach from The Watchmen, and - to a lesser extent, mind you - Superman. He also spawned a series of other pulp-y characters with similar concepts, such as the Green Hornet and the Spider. He's even been parodied in cartoons: Darkwing Duck is actually based largely on The Shadow, with a bit of Batman thrown in. For you all, you'll probably recognize him best because his universe was the inspiration for my "Black Dragon AU," with Malleus Draconia as the Shiwan Khan to the MC's Shadow-esque hero. I've always loved the Shadow, and I've always wanted to see him in one of two types of games. One is a Telltale-style choose-your-own-adventure murder mystery game, similar to "The Wolf Among Us" or the "Batman: The Telltale Series" titles. The other is a stealth-action game similar with controls similar to the Arkham series or the PS4-started Spider-Man games. The big draw in either case would be the style: everything done in black and white, with a noir-esque sort of aesthetic and matching music, with splashes of color - like red and maybe occasional hints of gold or green - to emphasize characters and moments. I'd pick Maurice LaMarche or Roger L. Jackson to voice the character, personally; not sure who I'd choose if you wanted someone more celebrity-like.

The other option would be a game based on Frank Beddor's "The Looking-Glass Wars" trilogy. This is a series of novels (with some spin-off comics) that are reimaginings of the "Alice" stories. The premise sees Wonderland as a war-torn universe, with elements of dark fantasy and sci-fi sort of blended together to create its world and aesthetic. The overarching plot of the series has Princess Alyss Heart and her allies - including Hatter Madigan, Bibwith Harte, and Dodge Anders, just to name a few - battling the sinister forces of Alyss' evil Aunt Redd, and a mutual enemy of both of their sides, the treacherous King Arch. I would specifically like to see a game based on this universe done in either a "League of Legends" format, or, even better, a "Star Wars: Battlefront" format. In the former, you can play as different major characters from the books, with different types of enemies to conquer depending on where in the conflict you stand. Or, in the latter, you can actually play as soldiers from each of the warring factions, as well as Hero figures from each end of the spectrum, with perhaps some minigames that allow you to play with those different elements more. Admittedly, both of these TECHNICALLY have games already: the Shadow was originally planned to have a beat-em-up game in the 90s, but the game was canceled. However, you apparently CAN find the unfinished game if you look hard enough to play; not sure if it's an emulator or something, but it's out there, trust me. LGW, meanwhile, has (or had, not sure if it's still up) an online card game you could play themed around the books. However, neither of these are really what I would like to see from either franchise (and the Shadow game wasn't even really properly released or completed), so there's still room for these dream games to exist. They likely never will, but there's room. :P

2022 NaNoWriMo Project – We Who Refuse to Die

I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year! Can you believe I've been doing it since 2011 and only skipped two years completely. Out of the eight years I've competed, I've won five times. In 2017 I wrote 118,000 words in a month which is both amazing and horrifying this when I think about it.

Surprising no one, I'm being a NaNo rebel and continuing to work on my never-ending Demon WIP (it’s working title is We Who Refuse to Die). It’s an adult fantasy noir with elements of horror and conspiracy thrillers. It’s about a group of Demons, warlords, mad scientists, and intrepid scholars working together to overthrow a corrupt theocracy while avoiding the Church’s (un)holy assassins. 

It has the “isn’t it great being monsters” vibe from Nightmare before Christmas with the somber, “only the damned will ever care for each other” feel from Penny Dreadful and the messed up relations and preparation of human flesh from Hannibal (although I haven't decided if Demons qualify as cannibals...). Mix all of that with continental politics and the rise of fascism found in Babylon Berlin and V for Vendetta and that’s the Demon book. 

It continues the story started in the Queer Croc WIP, but it’s not a direct sequel. The idea is you can start with either book, but you need to read both of them to get the full story. 

I’m on Chapter Seven of the seventh draft and it’s already 33K, so I just have to accept it’s going to be a chunky book. I’m hoping NaNo will push me through the part that always triggers a major rewrite and I can get to the halfway point in the book, but we’ll see.

Long synopsis

"If I only could Make a deal with God I'd get him to swap our places"-Placebo, Running Up that Hill

The city of Potushar is either on the brink of complete destruction or the rebirth of its past splendor and power. It all depends on whether Rashid, the depressed, suicidal, anxious, disastrous bi, trans prince can manage the many conflicting interests of the region and hold back the entire wrath and might of a vengeful and self-righteous God or if he'll shatter before he even steps foot into the city.

Rashid isn't alone, but he sometimes wishes he was. His allies include Nodira, his assassin turned wife who will risk war with the peoples of the North if it means solidifying their hold on the region beyond Potushar; Abdurauf, the opaque and unofficial mayor of Potushar who has survived warlord after warlord for two decades and he plans on surviving this one as well; Ecaterina, the one-eyed 'mad' scientist who believes that science can cure the worst of God's curses; Sophia, Dmitri, and Vasily, the married trio with a surprising amount of secrets and maybe a weapon that can kill God; and finally, Rezan and Danijela, the monarchs of the Demons, who only want a place to call home, even if it means forever condemning Potushar from God's grace and love.

Rashid's attempts to bring peace to Potushar catches the eyes of the inquisitorial Timofey of the Crossnic Church. Timofey, along with the most ruthless and worst of the Crossnic Church, would rather see the city of Potushar burn, with Rashid and his allies in it, then admit a heathen could ever bring peace to a city that has only known violence for five decades. Timofey will do anything to see Potushar fall, even if that means manipulating God's agenda to suit his own.

Rashid and his allies must work together to protect their home by overthrowing a corrupt theocracy or succumb to the Church’s assassins and overwhelming might.

Rashid of the Sundara

"sends the black carriage the day Death shows its face thinning our numbers with Kindness and Grace and just as a Flower and its Fragrance are one so must each of you and this Father become now distribute my scepter, my crown and my throne and all we've called ‘wealth' to the poor and alone..."-The King Beetle on a Coconut Estate by mewithYou

Rashid the Chrysanthemum Prince of the Sundara is a man cursed to bring about the end of his family's empire. He is hated by all of his siblings except one, his sister who sent him to Potushar to bring order to the region. His mother constantly tried to have him assassinated and he ended up marrying the last assassin she hired. He is one of only mortals to ever bind himself to a Demon with a blood oath.

Gorgeous artwork is by sethpuertoluna

He is also an anxious, suicidal, depressed, bisexual disaster, and trans prince who no one really believes in but he's all they have. While he tends to agree with his detractors, he is determined to make his sister proud and bring peace to the region. He just has to manage the desires of warlords, drug dealers, mad scientists, obnoxious scholars/reporters, and his new Demon neighbors while evading the Church's assassins and preparing for the Church's eventual invasion. Easy

Ecaterina Serzhankyzy

Theme song:

“Darling Just don’t put down your guns yet If there really was a God here He’d have raised a hand by now“-Papillon, Editors

Ecaterina (they/she) is an orphan adopted into a family slaughtered during the Shadow War, embraced the Crossnic religion (unlike her brother who refused to convert and was nearly killed for his defiance), and became an (un)holy assassin. Befriended another questioning convert, Vasily Karaminov (he/him) who discovered the Church’s deepest, darkest secrets. She went down her own "sinful" path and studied the biological functions and components of Demons. She now believes the Demon condition is viral in nature and can be treated with modern medicine. She was stripped of her place within the Church and sent to one of their work camps to die. Now she must escape and head to Potushar to beg her rightfully angry brother for sanctuary.

Sophia Henderson-Karaminov-Xojaev

Theme song:

“It seemed like everyone I knew was dying I looked in the mirror and I was on fire Somebody yelled out “Hey, stop drop and roll” I said “That might save my skin, but it won’t save my soul”“-Kimya Dawson, Fire

Sophia Henderson-Karaminov-Xojaev is a real estate agent turned cellist who manages the finances for a failing newspaper & secret society. had the bad luck of falling madly in love with two of Gargain’s most wanted expats: Vasily Karamoniv who knows the Church’s deepest, darkest secrets and plans to use them to destroy the Church and Dmitri Xojaev who has a lot of secrets and spilt a surprisingly large amount of blood for a ballerina. Being the most rational out of the three, it’s her responsibility to keep them alive and their newspaper/writing careers afloat. But when assassins force them to make a deal with Rashid and Rezan, it becomes clear that their martyrdom may be more useful to the royal pair than keeping them alive.

Danijela, Queen of the Demons

Theme song:

“And I said hello Satan, ah I believe it is time to go Me and the devil walkin’ side by side”-Soap&Skin, Me and the Devil

Danijela (the/she/he) is the leader of the Demons and partner to the father of All Demons, Rezan. Rezan is supposedly evil incarnate and is absolutely dedicated to her. He would do anything for her, including marching into Heaven and killing God for her. All she has to do is ask.

Together they defy the Church by building a sanctuary for all Demons and their supporters in God’s own “holy land”, right next to Rashid’s settlement. Despite being a Demon, Danijela desires peace more than anything and so makes an alliance with Rashid, encourages Vasily’s vendetta agenda the Church and allows Andra to study her people in hopes that someday they can find a “cure”. But as assassins infiltrate their settlement and the Church threatens to invade, Danijela may need to do the unforgivable to save her people and their supporters. She may have to ask Rezan to kill God.

[annabelleswife]

I don’t particularly care whether it gets a sequel or not, but before tomorrow’s finale I am curious as to what the plot of a Ride or Die 2 would even be. like would college just completely be taken off the table for MC in order to fuel a sequel’s worth of criminal shenanigans? would the Brotherhood (or at least Jason) somehow get away and come back for a vengeance? or would there be some other gang with a vendetta against MC and/or Mercy Park Crew to act as the antagonists?

to all the boys i’ve loved before: the good, the bad & the ugly

THE GOOD

I live my life with the belief, not in any religion, but in several other truths: pineapple topping on pizza is a crime against humanity. FOUR is the superior One Direction album. The book will always be superior to the movie based off of it.

Actually, maybe we have to reconsider that last one.

I first watched To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before expecting a slightly polished version of a Disney channel original. I was- to my surprise, and delight- proven wrong. Sure, the premise is a bit flimsy (why, in god’s name, would Lara Jean put her letters in envelopes and address them if she had no intention of mailing them?); there’s a multitude of cliché YA tropes (naïve, introverted MC meets floppy-haired white boy ft. some reincarnation of Regina George who happens to be his ex with a vendetta against the poor, innocent MC; the GBF); I’ve got several concerns about the casting (the Covey girls are supposed to half-Korean. The actors playing them don’t even have the same ethnicity? Nor do they look like they could pass for siblings?); and the soundtrack is- well. They could’ve done better.

BUT. And that’s a big ‘but’, which is why it’s in all caps. There were so many things I loved about the movie, so much more than the ones that bothered me. My little Asian heart always bursts in joy whenever I see a positive representation of someone like me in media- I don’t care if they’re South Asian or East Asian or SEA or Middle Eastern or anywhere else from the Asian continent. For so long, the only representation in Western media- if any; having Asian characters is a rarity- were perpetuating stereotypes; Lara Jean and her sisters are such a breath of fresh air. Noah Centineo’s… well, a lot of people find him cute, and he’s got a charming smile. Kitty is my spirit animal. And the aesthetics are so cute- Lara Jean’s wardrobe is a dream, and her room even more so. I loved the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movie, and I will go to my grave defending it.

Since I loved the movie so much, surely, the book would be better! Right?

… Sigh.

THE BAD

The cover’s very cute, I’ll give it that. Arty font, reminiscent of something you’d find in a love letter, good call. The color scheme’s adorable. The girl on the cover is very pretty. And, um… that’s about it.

Right off the bat, Lara Jean’s monologue made me go, oh. It’s that kind of protagonist. The one who spends way too much time telling and not enough showing (blame all the writing advice videos I watched on YouTube. It never used to bother me before, but it’s all I can see now).

(Also, “After I write my letter, I’m no longer consumed by my all-consuming love.” You’re proud of that, aren’t you, Miss Jenny Han?)

And, see, I wouldn’t mind (I probably would) if Lara Jean’s thoughts were particularly riveting. Mildly entertaining, at the very least- that’s all I’m asking for.

Lara Jean is uninteresting; almost painfully so. Film-LJ’s quirkiness barely translates to the pages. Sure, Lara Jean likes romance… and baking… and antiques… and writing letters to boys who are supposedly out of her league and who could never fall for little old her. And she’s a bad driver. She idolizes her older sister. Decent character traits for a YA protagonist. And, as far as I recall, no internalized misogyny that comes in the form of slut-shaming, which is a rarity for the genre of YA. Great.

And yet there’s something about book-LJ that feels so… contrived. A little Mary Sue-ish, if you will. Papery.

Which can be said about almost every other character (except Chris and Kitty. Margot, to an extent, but I don’t like her).

There are loads of useless info-dumps strewn throughout the story, which makes me wonder if it wasn’t edited. The writing’s just… bad. It’s more like a Wattpad story (when did ‘Wattpad story’ become the paragon of bad YA? Honestly speaking, though, all the popular Wattpad books give the website a bad name. There are some incredibly well-written works on it- yes, even Harry Styles fanfiction. Not every Wattpad story is going to be *bleh* After or The Kissing Booth. But I digress). Lara Jean goes into too much detail about her outfits and the trivial details of… everything, really. And, well, no one gives a fuck.

Which brings me to: the love triangle. Beloved of all YA clichés, pretty much a staple in the genre at this point. Always with the female main character choosing between two men, both conventionally attractive in a very Eurocentric way. Usually, it’s painfully obvious who gets the girl; “Emma Notlikeothergirls has to choose between the handsome, confident, gorgeous, athletic, strapping Ashton Dreamboat and that rando who lives next door, Billy Whatsisname. Whoever will she choose?”

I’ll give credit where credit is due. The book makes both Peter and Josh (unrelated, but why are the boys’ names so standard Hoosier boy-ish? You’ve got girls named Genevieve and Margot, and the boys are pretty much the twelve apostles) pretty evenly matched. Josh has the whole boy-next-door, childhood friends, I-have-always-loved-you cliché going for him, while Peter’s the popular boy, the jock, the guy every girl wants to be with and every guy wants to be.

And yet they’re both complete dicks.

I’m supposed to be rooting for one of them. Team Peter or Team Josh; either Peter-Jane or Lara-Josh. Either the guy who’s got nothing but his looks going for him, or the guy who slept with her sister and kissed her without her consent. hOwEvEr WiLL sHe ChOOsE???

And I was never really convinced that Peter actually developed feelings for Lara Jean, ever. Maybe I’m just oblivious, but they seemed more like friends instead of lovers. I was lowkey shipping Lara Jean x Chris, even though I knew that was plain wishful thinking; I already got my Asian MC, this won’t be getting too diverse.

Other clichés I’m tired of seeing but were unfortunately present: Lucas, the token Gay Best Friend (I was annoyed with the movie for making him the Rafiki to Lara Jean’s Simba and nothing else, but rereading the book made me realize that they didn’t have much to work with in the first place); Margot, the Bitchy Sister (I never forgave her for lying to their dad about Lara Jean having sex. Seriously, how low can you get? JOSH kissed LARA JEAN, not the other way around! Margot’s supposed to be the same age I am, I think, so I believe I have the ability to call her out on her bullshit); Genevieve, the Bitch Queen Extraordinaire; Kitty, the Annoying Younger Sibling (but I love and cherish her so I don’t mind it).

“The sibling dynamic was surprisingly better written than a solid 75% of the book,” says me, an only child.

Also, a final complaint: is having sex that big of a deal? I get Lara Jean being (rightfully) horrified at the accusations, and Peter Kavinskydick deserves a decent roundhouse kick (the movie did a better job of making Peter’s actions forgivable), but why does everyone else care? Seriously, do you have that little fodder for gossip?

THE UGLY

Am I going to complain about the sequel to the movie based off of the sequel to the book that I can’t remember anything of besides the fact that John Ambrose was ten times the man Peter Kavinsky was? You bet I am.

In all honesty, I can’t remember much of the book version of P.S. I Still Love You. Rest assured that I was Team John Ambrose all the way, both while reading the book and watching the movie. I don’t want to make myself suffer through the book again, so I’ll resort to bashing the movie sequel.

This movie sucked balls. Not on the level of Sierra Burgess is a Loser or Swiped or The Kissing Booth or- yikes- The Kissing Booth 2, but it was still pretty bad. It’s pretty obvious that the two movies weren’t directed by the same person. For all its plot-related shortcomings, the first film was charming and pretty widely well-received. The second film takes all that charm and cuteness and fluff and flushes it down the toilet, along with the tiniest bit of affection I had for the character of Peter Kavinsky. Lara Jean, too, to an extent.

At least Peter and Josh were evenly matched. John Ambrose is lightyears ahead of Peter. And yet Lara Jean chooses Peter because… the first dick is the best dick? Make it make sense!

She’s leading John Ambrose on during the entire film, and I normally hate using that term because it’s such an incel way of putting things. But she doesn’t tell John Ambrose about Peter and her dating, even though she’s had the opportunity to do so countless times. She gets mad at Peter for being close to Genevieve, and yet? Hypocrite much? Not to mention she kisses John Ambrose, right before she’s like, “whoops haha guess I don’t like you that much after all :/ lol my bad”.

John Ambrose deserved better, and that is the hill I will die on.

Here Comes The Pain: Hip-Hop’s Biggest Wrestling Fans

When you think about it, it’s really no surprise that many rappers are avid fans of professional wrestling. Predicated on clashing egos, pageantry and more than a hint of bravado, there’s plenty of shared attributes between the rap game and what transpires within the famed squared circle. As such, transposing the sights and sounds of the mid 2000’s hip-hop landscape into audacious hand-to-hand combat for Def Jam: Vendetta and its superior sequel Fight For New York was an almost seamless process. Larger than life characters in their own right, it’s only natural that many rappers would gravitate towards the bombastic heels and triumphant babyfaces of the time-honoured profession.

From artists that have subsisted below the mainstream’s glare to some of the biggest MCs to ever step in the arena, it’s time to separate the casual viewers from hip-hop’s resident grappling fanatics. To clarify, this isn’t going to be an exhaustible overview of every rapper that’s thrown in a token reference to a wrestler or devastating finishing move here or there. Instead, we’ll be charting those MCs whose careers are inextricably linked to sports entertainment in one way or another, either from drawing a heft of inspiration from its tropes or actively participating in its culture.

It should come as no surprise that Ric Flair has morphed into one of hip-hop’s informal patron saints. Nowadays, nods to the rolex-wearing, jet-flying, wheelin-dealin’ son-of-a-Gun are commonplace, with the Naitch even showing up in a plethora of music videos and rhyming couplets respectively. But long before Offset expounded on the virtues of having the “Ric Flair Drip,” it was a man that’s no stranger to upsetting the status quo that opted to bring him into hip-hop lore in earnest.

The centrepiece of 2011’s PL3DGE, Dungeon Family veteran Killer Mike ushered in a career rebirth with “Ric Flair.” Formed of his obligatorily punchy verses and some of the iconic wrestler’s greatest promos from Crockett-era WCW, the Georgia native would go on to expand on his love for “The Man” during Run The Jewels’ edition of Pitchfork’s Over/Under. Amid a typically fiery rant that saw him run down the soon-to-be disgraced Hulk Hogan, Mike explained that it was the ideology of the Ric Flair character that drew him to old Space Mountain himself.

“He endorsed women, drugs, Mercedes Benz, fur coats in the summer… That is the true heavyweight champion of the world, that is the only heavyweight champion of the world. He wore big gold and Hulk Hogan is nothing but an oversized model.”

Remaining on the southern side of the Mason-Dixon line, another beloved icon that’s long maintained a penchant for the squared circle is Lil Wayne. When he wasn’t dabbling with skateboarding or experimenting with electric guitar, Weezy— who has referenced a cadre of the profession’s all time greats including Andre The Giant, the N.W.O and Sid Vicious— spoke to Bleacher Report about his love for the medium and his aspirations of testing his mettle in wrestling’s leading organization:

“Vince, Vince McMahon. Well first I want to say why the hell does he walk like that? Has he been to prison before? That strut kills me but I respect him for what he does, he basically built an empire. I do need to talk to Vince though, as you know I try to be the best at whatever I do, so I am planning my pro wrestling debut.”

When pressed to expand on his blueprint for a career between the ropes, Wayne produced a moniker and finisher that’d lead you to believe that he’d contemplated it before.

“Well I would be BWA, which stands for Best Wrestler Alive [laughs] and my special move would be call the toilet because I am the ish and I just be doodooing all over the other wrestler’s, ya dig?”

Shifting generations, there are no shortage of modern-day stars that are beholden to wrestling for inspiration. Among the colourful and charismatic MCs this side of ODB and Biz Markie, Flatbush Zombies have an unrequited love for all things WWE. From the outset of their career, Meechy Darko was eager to refer to himself as “Randy Savage On Acid,” even declaring the late Macho Man to be the “greatest wrestler that ever lived” during an interview with Nardwuar. Alongside staging a “Zeltron Vs Zombies” soundclash against Denzel Curry, Meech, Zombie Juice and Erick also engaged in a spot of ill-fated CZW-style backyard wrestling for their “New World Order” video with Durt Cobain sporting a vintage Dennis “Rodzilla” Rodman NWO shirt for good measure.

Remaining in the Empire state, Smoke DZA has made his fondness for sports entertainment pronounced since the outset of his career. Although he’d been prone to a lyrical nod here and there, his fandom became undeniable with the first edition of his Ringside EP series. Launched on the night of Wrestlemania XXX in 2013, he has since turned in another seven instalments of the grappling-oriented project that repurposes themes and contorts them into his normal brand of kush-sprinkled rhyming. If that isn’t enough to satiate any cravings for wrestling-themed hip-hop, be sure to check out the work of Pennsylvania’s Mega-Ran. Longtime friends with The New Day’s own Xavier Woods, 2016’s Mat Maniais a masterclass in fusing the two mutually appreciative subcultures.

After performing “Invincible” at Wrestlemania 28, the ever divisive MGK spoke to Wrestling Inc about how he’d extracted strength from the artform in his youth. Or at least he did prior to Kevin Owens fulfilling the dreams of Eminem stans all over the world by hitting Colson with a powerbomb through a table.

“Wrestling in the 90s was a huge part of mainstream culture and definitely in the area where I’ve grown up, the Midwest,” he declared. “That was our Monday Night Football, you know what I mean? That was the people that we were looking up to because wrestlers give off that underdog vibe, like the John Cena’s and the Rocks… they overcome all this adversity, and it’s inspiring.” Although he’s expressed a desire to do further work with the company, his rep as a wrestling fan is certainly dwarfed by another MC that’s sporadically appeared on WWE fans’ screens.

Wale is the embodiment of a grappling aficionado that uses his platform to meld his two passions in any way he can. On top of hosting a controversy-garnering rap-battle between The New Day and The Uso’s on Smackdown! Live and staging an annual Walemania convention during Wrestlemania Weekend, the Gifted MC also summarized the plight of the beleaguered long-time viewer like few else could during an interview with The Undefeated, saying, “When wrestling is good, it’s amazing. When it’s not good, you hoping nobody’s seeing you watch the shit.”

Having shared a panel on wrestling with Wale at Complexcon, the only artist that could possibly rival Wale’s encyclopaedic knowledge of wrestling’s golden age is Mr. Baklava himself, Action Bronson.

Speaking to HNHH in February 2015, Bronsolino— whose debut album’s title Mr. Wonderful was an ode to WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndorff in itself—outlined his favourite in-ring performers of all time and cited some names that go way beyond the average casual viewer. “I used to love watching all types of wrestling, man. Tito Santana and Rick Martell when they were the tag team (Strike Force) and split up. The Hart Foundation, Kamala, Bruno Sammortino… Papa Shango, Koko B Ware, Arn Anderson, Dean Malenko, Psychosis,” he relayed.

But where “Bam Bam” has penned odes to infamous jobber Barry Horowitz and dubbed himself to be the “Intercontinental Champion,” he’s abstained from using a wrestling reference for a side project in the vein of Westside Gunn and Conway. A homage to “The Outsiders” from WCW, their deep-rooted respect for the lineage is so strong that Westside Gunn took to Instagram to voice his umbrage with what he saw as Drake’s aesthetical foray into the subculture:

“Drake is probably a Kool dude who knows, but my company logo is the scorpion and coincidentally he names his album Scorpion. I was at Coachella wearing the hat and somebody says, ‘Is that Drake’s hat?’ I almost smacked him, now he’s rocking Scott Hall sh*t when I’ve never seen this ni**a anywhere at any wrestling event and I go by Hall…”

No matter how infatuated they may be with the realm of scripted combat, there is one wizened rapper that’s more synonymous with the industry than any other. Snoop Dogg breached the walls of sports entertainment’s most hallowed club when he was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. 

A harmonious and reciprocal relationship that has withstood the test of time, hip-hop artists and wrestlers are bonded by a shared desire to not only be the best in their field but to get their due respect for their unmatched prowess. As a parting gift, enjoy the incredible “Pay-Per-View,” a vastly underrated gem which features Ruff Ryders’ Drag-On, Eve, Jadakiss and Styles P rhyming almost entirely in mid-90’s wrestling references.

[percontaion-points]

Let’s Play “Moments: Lust Under The Moon 2″ Part 1

Lust Under the Moon was the first of the Moments games that I played when I first downloaded the app. I wrote about it in the email group. And I'm certain that I could go and dig up all of the posts about what happened... I just don't feel like it.

Furthermore, I'm not sure if this is a direct sequel to the first, or if there's a different MC. In the first one, I named MC “LeatherFang” (LF for short), because why not? In the spirit of that, I'm going to name the MC of this game “ScarletFang”, or SF for short. (Thanks random goth name generator! That's... a name.)

Anyway, I'm not quite sure what's going to happen in this game. At the end of the last one, LF got marked with Patrick, and that seemed pretty final. So unless they're going to go back and say that none of that happened at the end, or to say that your lover at the end died, but you can totally get remarked if that happens...???

I also love Patrick till the end times. So unless he's just not in this game, then that's probably who SF is going to end up with.

ALSO ALSO... I have like 400+ diamonds right now, so I'll be doing a bit of VIP options. Yay.

On to the game!

We start off with what I'm guessing is amnesia SF, in some sort of underground fighting arena... punching who I'm pretty sure is werewolf!Liam in the face. The only thing she remembers is her name: ScarletFang Rose.

Anyway, that's Patrick (aka the husbando). She has visions of him, but doesn't know who he is or what he means to her.

Don't know who this is, but he seems to know SF.

Anyway, this is Barry Whitmore, aka the one that SF had been fighting in the arena. (Using Liam's werewolf avatar was... probably not the best idea...) SF tells Barry that he needs stitches for a cut on his brow, and he teases her “has your memory come back and you just remembered that you're a doctor?” I legit can't tell if he's just joking around or if he actually knows something. SF takes care of his wound. He remarks that whenever she injures another wolf, it always take them longer to heal than usual. Also, nobody quite knows what she is, and she doesn't even have a scent. Barry thinks that she's a witch, but she doesn't have any actual powers... except for, you know, her super fast healing and fighting abilities and what-have-you. She mentions that she knows about how territorial that werewolves are, and he asks how she knows that. The sexual tension is thick BUT YOU ARE A MARRIED WOMAN, YOUNG LADY. (Not like she remembers that). SF and Barry are apparently lovers from time to time, too, although SF inwardly admits that she prefers being his friend than his lover.

I too enjoy cage-fighting in a Jessica Rabbit dress. σ.σ

SF resists him. He asks why, and she says that she feels like it's a mistake. He insists that she resisted that urge three times already, so why not more? He wants to mark her, but all of this goes back to how she doesn't know who she is. She feels like there's somebody else out there, waiting for her.

She has another vision of Patrick, this time fighting with Liam. She has a phantom pain on her shoulder, from where the werewolf bit her back in the first installment of this series. But she doesn't have a scar or any other indication that she was bitten there, so it seems weird to her that it would hurt.

Barry apologizes, and says that since she's markless, she seems like the perfect candidate to be marked. But SF is quick to point out that she doesn't even know if she's a werewolf or anything like that. She continues to pull away from him. He mentions that “Eisendrath” wants to see her at the manor, and she seems irritated. So SF goes to the manor, via a car Eisendrath sends for her.

He's apparently “bound” to her, and he kind of owns her. Oh boy... He seems to think that she's changed a lot in the two years since he found her, but SF says “two years in a cage can do that.” He asks SF to kill somebody, and she says “but what if I say 'no'?” He says that she literally cannot say no, and it's not like she's never killed before. But only just other supernatural creatures inside the cage fights. He goes on to say that this is another kind of monster. He shows SF a picture of “Marcus Walker”, some billionaire CEO. Should have lead with that, dude. I love murdering billionaires... so long as they aren't providing any legit care for people around them. SF describes him as being 20-something and handsome... so he's totally going to be a datable. Ugh. But, he's also apparently linked to a bunch of murders of young women. No word on if he's supernatural or not... My guess is yes, considering this series. Anyway, Eisendrath wants this done as part of a personal vendetta.

Later, SF goes to a hotel room, where she changes to meet with Marcus. She watches him for a while, but when she gets too close to him, she catches wind of his scent and pops a ladyboner. She literally cannot resist him at this point.

Marcus goes into a restaurant, and SF follows him, but as she's being seated, a host says that Marcus has requested that SF join him. Well okay then. The host goes on to explain that Marcus owns the hotel. SF declines the offer, and sits down with her back to him.  However, this is all a ruse to get him to come to her.

Rich, pale, insanely good looking... My money is on vampire. (But then again, I thought Patrick was a vampire for the longest time...)

As expected, right on schedule, Marcus comes over to her table. As he talks to her, SF has another vision. (And don't expect me to identify all of them if they can't put in the avatars of the others...) SF and Marcus introduce themselves, but SF was so distracted by how horny she is for him that she forgot and used her actual name. Oops. THEN HE GOES “WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME.” Buahahahaha.

He joins her at her table, orders wine, and asks what she does for a living. She says that she's a “headhunter”, but offers nothing else. He tells her about his own business, and asks if she's not there to poach one of his employees, but she says that she's there for pleasure. He then asks if she'd reject him if he invited her up to his penthouse later, and she kind of plays coy. (Because she obviously can't murder him in the middle of the hotel restaurant.) She tells him to have the wine sent up, and they leave.

In the elevator, he tells SF that he's going to kiss her as soon as the doors to the penthouse open, which turns her on immensely. He goes on to describe what he's going to do with her. They get into his penthouse, and the kissing begins. SF stares into his eyes and feels like he's seen some shit, and randomly feels guilty over her need to kill him, so she decides not to.

Just then, Marcus notices some shadowy figures luring in the dark of his home. Oh, and he is a vampire (CALLED IT.) There's a very brief fight, and Marcus gets stabbed, so now SF is forced to fight. She foolishly launches herself at the vampire hunter (?) through the window, which breaks, and they both fall out, but land on the balcony a floor below.

SURPRISE!! It's Patrick! He calls out her name, much to SF's surprise. Marcus calls out to SF, and SF tells Patrick to leave, which he does by jumping down to the next balcony below. Marcus jumps down to the balcony, but he's hurt, and collapses when he lands. He asks SF who she is.

[vendetta-if]

Wait, idk if I missed something (probably) but is Jackal... y'know, drinking b l o o d?! 🤤

Does that mean Sequel MC will be able to drink blood? 😳😳😳👉👈

Yes! When Jackal talked about getting thirsty when talking with MC, he was talking about blood 😂 Which MC was not aware, of course.

And yes, sequel MC would also need to drink blood. The more they use their powers, the more they’ll need to replenish by drinking others’ blood.

The other day, I was just picturing how Luka would need to stock up some blood bags in the fridge now that he has two strong haemokinetics living in the house. So when Jackal or Sequel MC are feeling peckish, they can just open the fridge and grab a blood bag like some kind of juice box 😭🤣

Konstantin accidentally grabbing blood from the fridge on one sleepy morning 💀

[vendetta-if]

absolutely adore this IF, I've been following since the 2nd chapter or so. Also, very intrigued about the sequel MC. I'm personally planning on a morozov family head route MC, so I'm looking forward to all the cameos we have.

Also seeing a lot of The Boys content in the blog, seeing as sequel MC is also a bloodbender, I wonder if we'll also get some head popping action like a certain other politician in that series lmao

Glad you’ve been following my story for so long! 🥰 And yes, I think if your Vendetta MC chooses to become the family head at the end, they would probably have more cameo in the sequel compared to other MCs.

In Vendetta, you get little glimpses into various other aspects of the city, like the elite and the rich, the superheroes, even do some vigilanteism, and kinda have a taste of how the underworld works.

In the sequel spin-off, however, the whole story will be more focused and revolve around the underworld aspect of the Elysium City, since the MC would be a hitman/assassin whose dads consist of the head/ex-head of the Morozov Family and an retired professional hitman 🥺

Also, I think Jackal and Sequel MC can technically do the head popping, but it would require a lot of energy and focus and effort to do that, so it’s not the most efficient killing method, especially in a fight. But if they need to send a message, then it might be a good choice even if it’s taxing 😂

The less conspicuous and less taxing choice would be to simply increase their blood pressure to the point of rupturing the blood vessels in their head area.

It would definitely be fun for me to play around with haemokinesis with future MC 🤭

[vendetta-if]

I’ve decided, my sequel mc isn’t a cinnamon roll he’s a SINnamon roll. I’m so sorry to Jackal and Luka.

I’m going to make the cutest, scariest troublemaker.

It’s out of my hands.

As long as they don’t keep getting into crazy trouble that can get them killed, then your sequel MC is free to do anything their heart desires 🥺

Also, sequel MC would just naturally be… less squeamish with violence in general and might also be naturally more ruthless, considering they’re an assassin/hitman and who their parents are 😂 Combined with their fearsome power of blood manipulation, your MC would be scarily powerful indeed.

But, of course, that doesn’t mean your MC can’t be cute and sweet while being deadly at the same time 🥺

[vendetta-if]

can uncle have child through surrogacy instead of adoption ?

since Morozov family is rich.he wouldn't have problem with that.

what will be grandfather's reaction of adoption of child and giving him Morozov game when he doesn't have his blood?

Konstantin, sequel MC’s big brother, is actually conceived through surrogacy. And yes, the Morozov Family is rich enough that Luka actually paid quite a fortune to get an egg donor from someone with dual-powers, which increased the chances of the child to be dual-powered as well.

Sequel MC is adopted though. I can’t talk much so as not to accidentally spoil stuff, but their past will play a pretty big role in the story for the sequel 🤐

As for Grandpa’s thoughts about Luka or MC adopting a child, he doesn’t really mind. After almost losing all of his family, he’s just happy that his family is now expanding and in his old days, he just want to spend time peacefully surrounded by his grand and great-grandchildren.

Also, Luka and MC already see and treat and love their adopted children like their own, and Grandpa will do the same as well and consider them worthy of the Morozov name.

[vendetta-if]

First (non-anon) ask in....actually just first! Been enjoying this since the first time you teased this whole project! Gabriel, my MC, has a mind of his own and decided to romance the Poly despite my initial attempts of sticking to either or. Now I'm not sure if it's been asked but I'm curious as to how that would play out in an ending with the sequel? Will it be mentioned or is the 'canon' ending up with either? Also if it is mentioned in any way in the sequel, how would the cast (Konstantin, Seq MC, etc) dynamics be?

All of the endings are technically canon endings, and your choice of RO and what you choose to be at the end (Vigilante, Heir, or Superhero) would be touched upon or at least mentioned in the sequel spinoff. Although, those who became heir, they might have more cameo than those who chose other endings simply because the spinoff sequel would be focused more on the underword operation of the city, so they are more relevant 🤔

As for the dynamics for Konstantin and the sequel MC… Kostya would always be fond and caring of his little sibling 🥺 Would love to tease them too every chance he’s got. He was raised to prioritize family over everything, just like the rest of the Morozovs.

Right now, the plan is that you’ll be able to choose what your sequel MC feels and thinks about him in general, which might impact some interactions with him.

[vendetta-if]

How old was vendetta mc when they got adopted by luka and jackal?

I’m not set on the age yet, but young. Probably 2 or 3 years old? 🤔 This is not set in stone yet and I haven’t decided, but young enough that they don’t really remember how their life was before being adopted into the Morozov Family 🥺

[vendetta-if]

When Luka and Jackal get married, how will they handle their last names? Will they hyphenate them together or will one of them change his last name? What will their kids last names be?

Ooh, interesting question 🤔 Luka would keep his name like it is right now (Luka Pavlovich Morozov).

Jackal would honestly be more than happy to take the Morozov surname but he’s also still reluctant to fully let go of his own surname, despite his far-from-good relationship with his own father.

So, the solution they both come up with is that Jackal will take Luka’s last name as his middle name while still keeping his own last name, so it’ll be Jackal Morozov Zhang.

While for the kids, Jackal would actually prefer them to take the Morozov surname only. He wants his kids to be as far away associated with his family as possible. Not to mention, the power that the Morozov name has in the city.

So, yeah, sequel MC and their big brother will have Morozov surnames.
