ftfy: STL Police Crash into LGBTQ bar, Use Homophobic Slur, Attempt to Arrest the Owner, Co-Owner Resists and is Charged with Felony Assault

—RFT

[James] Pence, who lives above the bar, says that he was getting ready to head to bed as two other people closed up for the night. Suddenly, he felt the whole building shake and ran downstairs.  He came down to find the police SUV in his building and an officer demanding to see his identification.  Pence says he replied: "No you don't. That's a police cruiser in my building. You don't need to see my ID. This is not how this works." Pence says he was spun around and placed in handcuffs.  Pence’s co-owner, [Chad] Wick, was taking videos and photos of the police vehicle when, according to Pence, "Three of them (officers) went for him. He raised his arm and they said he hit them."  Pence was eventually taken out of cuffs, but Wick was taken away by police. In addition to cleaning up the damage, Pence spent much of this morning trying to locate Wick. He later found out that Wick had been taken to the South Patrol police station, then SLU Hospital for medical attention. He was then taken to the North Patrol and finally, around 9 a.m., was at Central Booking. Wick, whose legal name is Chad Morris, was later charged with felony assault. (See details here.)

James Pence: I came out. My husband came out as well. There was one cop that made a very homophobic remark. My husband did put his hand on a cop out of defense because they had already put me in handcuffs for coming out, wanting to know what was going on. I was told I had to ID or shut up.

* spin crashes in * whats up im aran (they/she) and im EXCITED to be here !! this is chelmico’s main vocal & maknae known offstage as seyoung but also onstage as seyoung, bc he got into the industry when he was like 14 and no one was really around to advise him to, hey, maybe separate your public image from your private life ? and now that’s come back to bite him in the ass, ‘cause he’s been craving some normalcy but he can’t have it because a solid amount of the population knows his face. wtf.

there’s a bit more about him below the cut if you’d like!! you can have his bio / profile / a few plot ideas, and i’m down to talk here or dscord in case tumblr im’ing also gives u a headache lmao. i love headcanoning tgt so if that’s ur thing  as well, drop an emoji in the replies & i’ll come to you ~ ~ i can’t wait to meet and write w/ everyone!

once upon a time, a very broke and very pregnant single mother goes to see a fortune teller, who tells her that her son will one day immense wealth and success. mother is ecstatic. when son is born, she does everything she can to fulfill that potential. now son is immensely successful but also carries a bunch of independence and identity issues. the end

well yk not really “the end” bc he’s Here :\ almost 23 and looking back on his life and realizing how much of it was driven by his mom who was just using him for her own Need for status and relevance. but anyway

bright public personality!! this is basically him onstage, like when ww plays around with sk that’s pretty much seyoung with his members lmao. theres too many fancams of him smiling like an idiot at.....Where? Who? Whats going on in his little brain? who tf knows, he just seems very happy

does love his job, loves music, loves his members and genuinely considers them family. he’s just ,, starting to wish he had gotten here a little differently, ya feel?

he tries v hard to cover up that crisis and act like usual (i.e. happily clueless) because it’s easier to deal with that way

normally very well-behaved but has been more erratic & moody recently bc of a fight with his mother about his career & image -- more secretive too, bc he doesn’t want anyone to think anything’s wrong with him or upset his mother again

spends a lot of time on youtube when he can’t go out ?? lives vicariously through with vlogs, DIYs, and unsolved mystery videos but doesn’t actually believe them......right seyoung ??? haha right s-- [ i am escorted from the premises ]

lately unable to sit still bc he needs #distractions so yea . HANG OUT WITH HIM !

he really doesn’t have enough friends outside of the industry u_u he’s actually pretty lonely ?, he’s just often too busy to realize it

AMYCUS CARROW is A DEATH EATER in the war, even though HIS official job is as A CURSE BREAKER & HIT MAN the TWENTY SIX year old PUREBLOOD is known to be PATIENT and RESERVED but also VIOLENT and TWO FACED. some might label them as THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE. fc: ryan gosling 

ANTHEMS:

feel it still - portugal the man // devil like me - rainbow kitten surprise // dead man’s arms - bishop briggs // fever pitch - rainbow kitten surprise // devil eyes - hippie sabotage // dark side - bishop briggs.

pinterest board (x)

BACKGROUND / FAMILY:

Amycus Abigor Carrow came crashing into the world screaming for his sister. Born the eldest to the Carrow dynasty, he was expected to eventually mount the role as the heir to the family legacy, but Amycus quickly proved himself to be Quite the Disappointment. 

As a young child, Amycus was soft spoken, easily intimidated and quiet ( main inspiration for baby Amycus: Radu from And I Darken tbh ). Mostly clung to the family’s staff, always crying, always craving closeness. For a while, he was just as angelic as he looked. 

Never saw much of his parents while growing up. His father was a successful businessman who only had kids because he was supposed to ( to carry on the blood line ), and wanted nothing to do with him. Instead, Amycus was left in the care of his grandfather.

His grandfather was FUCKED. An absolutely terrible man. A Death Eater before his time. An actual demon. Can’t say enough bad things about him, ya feel.

Either way, his grandfather was absolutely disgusted by Amycus, who could never fit into the mold that had been created for him. Thought his grandson was a poor excuse for a Carrow and thought he could change that through pain and violence. So, lessons were drilled in using corporal punishment, and the emotional and physical abuse he suffered eventually turned him into something colder and darker. What had once been soft, turned harsh, rough around the edges. A shell of a boy was left behind, not a trace of that sweetness left behind once they were done with him ( but were they ever? ).

Amycus basically became filled with resentment against everyone in his family, with the exception of Alecto. She has always been there, from the day they were born. She was the one to dry his tears, the one to hold his hand, the one to tell him where to hide. The one constant, his safe haven. They come as a matching set, and Amycus would kill ( and definitively has, too lbr ) for her.

Gained a definite rebellious streak pretty early on, which only became more aggressive as he got older. Once he reached his teenage years, he’d do ANYTHING and everything to fuck with his father & grandfather. Kinda stopped caring about the punishment, so used to pain that he stopped fearing it. Almost stopped feeling it.

Definitively grew up in his sister’s shadow, and was always the lesser Carrow.

When he turned fifteen, he moved out and never looked back. Decided to make his own future, and just never spoke to his family (Alecto is always the exception we all know this) again. Because fuck y’all, basically.

SO. His family’s plans had been for him to finish his education at Hogwarts, and then follow in his father’s foot steps and take over the company and the family name. Amycus had different plans though, obviously. 

His family were... so angry with him. But they definitively pretend ( because can’t have Amycus ruining their good reputation, am I right ) that they were the ones to encourage Amycus to find his own path in life and become a curse breaker.

Though, Amycus was never denounced as a Carrow ( because they didn’t wanna air their dirty laundry to the world, ya know ). Most pureblood families have noticed though that Amycus isn’t exactly... close with his family. I mean, at pureblood parties, he literally pretends that he can’t see them. 

AESTHETIC / VIBES:

old gramophones, blood stained mirrors, broken glasses, bleeding fists, standing in silence for hours, chipped teeth, unwavering loyalty, unhealed scars, getting home at the crack of dawn, red wine, eyes too blue to be trusted, long showers, god complexes, the color of dusk, messy hair, blood soaked suits, always cheating death, a rebel just for kicks, dried crimson on dull blades, half smiles, just beating and beating until the world stops, no conscience, half empty wine bottles, impersonal offices, a face that doesn’t quite match his demeanor.

HOGWARTS YEARS:

Was a hat stall between Hufflepuff and Slytherin. 

patience/loyalty/dedication vs self preservation/resourcefulness/dedication mostly.

At Hogwarts, Amycus felt in power for the first time. Ended up becoming the aggressor, finding solace in pain and violence. Found that he was good at inflicting pain, and liked being good at SOMETHING. Had never really felt that before. :/

Eventually got a taste for blood, and started getting into fights with other students, each run in more violent than the next.

STILL, did not end up in detention, because for a while, the teachers couldn’t believe that someone like Amycus ( who was mostly known for being very quiet and looking sweet ) would hurt another student. It would take for him to eventually get caught in the act, until that perception shattered.

Was that kid who used bugs and insects to practice unforgivable curses on. Eventually progressed to torturing students as well.

Excelled in charms, and can do wonders with a wand when he puts his mind to it. Most other grades were pretty shit though. 

AFTER HOGWARTS:

Once he graduated from Hogwarts, he was meant to take his place in the Carrow dynasty ( grandfather somehow STILL believing that he would come to his senses ), but fuck that. So he basically left the country as fast as possible, and became a cursebreaker.

Which just made sense, because he has always been good at inflicting curses, and breaking them isn’t that different. He is very good at what he does.

First few years were spent working in ancient tombs abroad, mostly. That kind of work fit him really well, because he could wear whatever he wanted, didn’t have to talk to people too much, could do his own thing. Was also always someone around to beat up.

After a while, he started missing his sister, and returned home, where he found work at the ministry of magic. Today, he works for the removal of curses, jinxes and hexes office, which is a subdivision for the improper use of magic office. 

Really likes his job? BUT. Also has a #second job.

On the side, he’s sort of a gun ( wand ) for hire, and will kill anyone who needs to be killed, for a price. Gives zero shit about the money though ( but the client needs to be rich, ya feel ).

Most of his clients are members of the sacred 28, who somehow always seem to want SOMEONE dead.

Honestly, I haven’t 100% figured out how he conducts this business because obviously he wants to remain anonymous. He probably has some sort of dramatic way of getting people to give him names that need to die idk. #to be determined

Joined the Death Eaters mostly because of his sister? But their agenda also really fits him, because violence? Bigotry? Death? Sign him tf up.

He isn’t the most invested in the whole pureblood supremacy thing ( but would he ever admit that? that’s a no ), but overall likes Voldemort and what he stands for.

Though he’s also lowkey intimidated by / afraid of Voldemort and is quite pleased with the fact that he doesn’t have to report directly to him.

For the Death Eaters, Amycus mostly works as an information gatherer, which is basically just a euphemism for him being one of their main torturers, who will torture people until they tell him whatever it is the Death Eaters want to know. He usually works together with his sister and they are disturbingly good at what they do.

AS A PERSON:

Cares very little for most people and is so so so selfish.

Lacks most of the finesse of his sister, tbh.

100% neutral evil. Kind of has a moral compass, it just points in the wrong direction at all times? Mostly just does whatever is best for him and Alecto though, and has zero interest in any righteous bullshit.

Does he think that he’s doing the right thing? Nope. He’s well aware that he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A bad dude.  Does he care? Also no.

Might just be the most private person you’ll ever meet? He seldom reveals anything about himself, and when he does, it’s usually not true.

Will also lie about the dumbest and smallest of details.

SO self disciplined. Always in complete control, and it’s very hard to get a genuine reaction / rise out of him. Also so so so patient, and is happy to wait for whatever his current end game is.

Drinks and smokes heavily, but doesn’t personally think that he has a problem.

Mostly just a dumb asshole.

SO COLD.

Thrives off violence and is a total brute tbh.

Never fucking does what anyone tells him to do. 

Someone: pls do this Amycus: *does the exact opposite*

Bisexual !

Pretty good at hiding his death eater ties since he’s… paranoid as FUCK. And also keeps to himself. Always wears a mask. But some people probably suspect… stuff anyways, if they’ve like. Spent longer than two hours with him. Listen if Amycus wasn’t such a fucking asshole he probably could get away with it (/scooby doo villain voice). But then again, others will probably think he’s just cold af.

Looks a lot nicer than he is, which works to his advantage most of the time? Like he just looks like a nerdy, good dude. Is a total demon, but looks like an angel. 

STYLE / FASHION / APPEARANCE :

Wears glasses (x), but somehow manages to fucking break them ALL THE TIME. The only thing keeping them together is magic.

Wears mostly wizard suits for work ( bc he has to :/ ), but will wear those long black robes in his free time. Think a vampire cape, flying in the wind. Ultimate drama. He really is THAT guy.

Will also wear stupid wizard band t-shirts a lot when working.

Keeps his hair short.

Like 70% of his wealth is probably spent on buying new clothes, because he keeps fucking ruining them by getting blood on them? Or just having them ripped to shreds in a fight, that works too.

Looks like he’s wearing the same exact shoes every day but actually has like... 200 different pairs. They all look the same.

Eyes appear either blue or grey, depending on the lighting.

Has some tattoos, and a half sleeve on his right arm, going from his shoulder to his elbow.

"wrestling garbage discourse" as a phrase has stuck deep resonance with me. god -- there are a lot of wrestlers i genuinely like as people (not necessarily their WWE characters lol) from what I know of them [like Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Cena, Sasha Banks] but then i get get stuck on "Vince McMahon, a notorious conservative rich shithead, is their employer" and then my brain is like nuance? what's that? IT'S GOTTA BE BLACK OR WHITE! THIS OR THAT! HOT OR COLD! ONE OR THE OTHER! and then i Die tm

EXACTLY. And like especially to compare to actors like… with wrestling you have private lives (bc we don't know them); "private" lives made for consumption, generally out of keyfabe, on like the Divas reality TV show; public personas, also out of keyfabe, doing like cool charity stuff, running businesses, etc.; and their wrestling characters.So an ABUNDANCE of options for drama, many OBVIOUSLY scripted and/or deliberately orchestrated to the point that any "real" gossip becomes immediately scandalous among adult fans, who also tend to be overly invested in these wrestlers' sex lives, all while these people have to juggle these roles and still entertain literal actual children bc WWE is sorta family friendly ish wrestling.And then the scandals are like so escalated even before fans get to them that it's like… you got nudes, murder, Nazi-fuckers— the craziest of crazies. Clubs, girls, dancing, naked, mom!? Argument, police, fleeing the scene, hiding in a dumpster, crashing on your couch for a week because technically I’m homeless! Like the whole nine fucking yards in this career field. Not that other folks don't have those same dramas going on, but the people who aren't as skilled at hiding that stuff generally have not been under that kind of scrutiny before.On top of Vince McMahon being like the fucking Monopoly man, but evil, and running an empire of what would literally be billed as carnie strongmen freaks if he'd started the WWF a generation earlier.So yk… I'm annoyed at Chris Evans for saying stupid shit. But he's pretty vocally not a Trump supporter & isn't to Marky Mark levels of like the Massachusetts White Boy Worst… and I don't actually know John Cena personally. He could be Team Iron Man too! And I'd never know bc no one asked!! But if I can say, "Yeah, despite working for this like awful Trump stan & being extra pro-America/Americana in character at times in a way I find unsettling, particularly in like… Rusev matches & stuff… he seems like a decent guy"… then sometimes I literally cannot be ACTUALLY deeply bothered by what passes for problematic content for like regular people anymore. And I gotta say Chris Evans says dumb shit but it's not actually really harmful or serious so like… I'll learn to be okay with that.And that's not to say ALL "regular" problematic shit is irrelevant, like I'm still annoyed at Ezra Miller, Wonder Woman was frustrating in part specifically bc of Gal Gadot's politics, Mel Gibson is obviously fucked up, and I would personally donate to the commisary funds of anyone willing to be jailed for killing Woody Allen. I love Guillermo del Toro but I think it's weird people let the Roman Polanski support thing slide. I still listen to Azealia Banks bc I think the same as the Lil Kim vs. Nicki nonsense, a lot of critique is as harsh as it is bc of colorism & respectability politics, and I think there's a lot to unpack in her drama that folks aren't AS mad at Cardi B & Joanne the Scammer for. It's a weird, wild, sick, sad world.But, if I'm gonna use a snooty phrase for it, the wrasslin' carnie drama situation is a weirdly amplified microcosm of society in a fucking bizarrely unpolished way, bc these are not all people used to being put on the spot or in the public eye in the way they always are now… same as like, the Kardashians are deeply annoying & very problematic & stuff, but if they weren't THEM, people would feel bad for the shit their family has to go through or would be worried about the younger girls' choices, dating grown ass men, plagiarism as a bad habit, etc.Like folks feel bad for the messy ass family on "Shameless" but hate the Kardashians… I'm supposed to say Chris Evans is #cancelled bc he gave Tom Brady a "pass" for supporting Trump in literally a 100% predictable Massachusetts white boy move— like it's not a Schrödinger's cat situation, even if you didn't ask, you KNOW what the answer is… meanwhile I'm still bummed over Team B.A.D. breaking up & skeeved tf out by Charlotte Flair's "legacy"/genetic supremacy (!) gimmick from a while back, particularly as positioned against WoC wrestlers… but I know they have real lives that aren't those roles, and real bills to pay, even while Scrooge McDuck is signing the checks.Like, fuck it, same. We all a mess & gotta pay a car note and need to compartmentalize the chaos we encounter or our lives will be more ridiculous than they already fucking are. Actors and their roles are separate, and one benign dumbass comment is not as bad as Instagramming fucking swastikas & shit or like literally assaulting strangers.It's not GOOD— like imo the Civil War shit is too political for me to say that was a neutral statement. But it was an utterly predictable statement within like a normal BMI range chart thing for average white dudes saying mildly dumb shit that would be fine in an office setting. I don't like what he said, but it's not some off the wall shit or sth which will have violent repercussions.But like… lol tl;dr pro wrestling discourse bullshit gives you SO MUCH perspective on how Game of Thrones fucked up people's personal dramas can be. And most of Hollywood doesn't come close to the kind of shit being a wrestling fan means dealing with every day.
