#with Sock'em Boppers or something

[cheeseknives]

Hello viewers. It's me, James May. And you're watching the disney channel.

These panels all make sense now after TR 271

Unappreciated, thy name is Akashi “Sanzu” Haruchiyo.

If Sanzu is the trigger, I’m gonna be triggered. All of this caused by a toy airplane. Shinichiro shoulda gotten Mikey some Sock'em Boppers.

With Mikey having that old towel, it makes me question if he kept the broken plane. If he did, they need to take those pieces to a priest (Taiju) or something.

Crack idea for the Freeman Brothers au: Coomer finds out about the boppers brawl, maybe he witnesses round 2. He joins the fight and absolutely wastes them both. (Maybe Gordon and Felix actually work together to fight him. It's not enough. Science Grandpa is unstoppable)

(Crack? I think you mean fact.)

I think that afternoon goes a little something like this:

COOMER: Freeman, My boy! Let me take my shot at these Sock'Em Boppers TM

GORDON: Sure Dr.Coomer, come at me. 

Coomer knocks Gordon out with on sock'em bop punch

COOMER: Hello Gordon! It appears you're kind of a weak bitch!

GORDON: (on the floor, writhing) what the fuck is wrong with me, I know how Coomer is.

COOMER: Well Gordon, for three (3) PlayCoins I can Heal you Right Up! 

FELIX: (signing) oh it's on, old man.

The 7 hour war is actually a 3 hour Sock Em Bopper Chicken Fight Tournament between 3 teams:

Team Freeman (Gordon and Felix)

Team Grandpas (Coomer and Bubby) 

Team Soul Calibur 2 for The PlayStation 2 (Benrey and John) (everyone hates the name but they make them say the full thing every time)

Tommy decides to be the ref. Winner gets to decide where to go for dinner and the loser has to pay.

The catch is: they're all fighting at the same time.

Yes, the police were called by the neighbors. (Wouldn't you be worried if you heard like. 7 adult men beating essentially having a fight club?)

Benrey and John had to be taken to the hospital for possible Broken Bones after their Final Round Maneuver aptly dubbed “Wepon” that involved Benrey Throwing John at Team Grandpas then tackling Team Freeman himself. with his bare hands. 

Benrey and John were okay. John sprained his wrist and has a wicked bruise on his back now, though.

TOMMY: we should have set rules before we started! Maybe even consulted wikipedia!

JOHN: (being escorted to the car by Gordon so they can go to the hospital, nose bleeding) rules are 4 pussies, Tommy-boy, we face the full life consequences in this family!

GORDON: If your bones don’t end up being broken, I’ll break them myself. This goes for you too, Benrey.

BENREY: (also getting escorted-pushed,rather-by Felix into the car) are you threatening me?

GORDON: Yes

So there were no winners! Which means round 3 is still an option....

How to handle Toxicity

1. One's toxic behavior shouldn't ruin your creative pursuit. You letting them ruin your day or your overall enjoyment implies that the moron has a point (chances are they won't). Do what makes you happy...as long as you're not being dick. If you can do that then you are fine. And so long as you don't hurt yourself. 2. Avoid circle-jerks where a group of people only talk about "destroying" their competition and knocking them off of imaginary pedestals. That is a red flag and you need to get out of there. Be very, very weary of these people and find more level headed people. 3. Be open to constructive criticism. Over time you'll know how to filter out the actually helpful advice (whether it sounds nice or harsh) from delusional rhetoric that you can just ignore. But most importantly you'll be able to apply the legit advice to yourself. Also avoid the Dunning Kruger effect and never assume your skills and abilities are higher then they actually are, but you can always get better. But if you ignore someone's nonsense the world dosen't end, in fact you have a load off your mind. Although you can still challenge them and prove them wrong, which is very easy if it turns out their nonsense really is nonsense. 4. Don't be a self-entitled. No one is obligated to be nice to you 100% of the time and you gotta recognize the very trivial things and brush it off. No one is required to give you praise, you earn it. And even if senpai dosen't notice you then be grateful for the praise you do have or the stuff you have done. I didn't place in Epixcon's singles contest (mostly cuz I dance like a chicken) but the amount of praise and attention I got out weighted the loss. Incompetence always comes with the desire for a big audience just because you want one and that never ends well. Also don't pretend everyone is out to get you, it's not like someone is screenshoting this right now. (I see you) 5. Learn to laugh at yourself. Your experience isn't so much fun when you are so serious all the time. I learn to do that all the time (Isn't that right my 5 husbando body pillows) and the world does not end. At the end of the day we're all people playing dress up. 6. Learn to be a bit social savvy, at least a little. Not saying go out to that bar, but be able to see through someone's charisma. Some people mean what they say, others not so much. Learn how to carry yourself in public (something I poorly do) and have some decorum. Also know how people work by observing their usual reactions and tendencies and the things they say. 7. Don't be afraid to have a little pride and draw alot of attention. Because if you are afraid to draw attention, then what's the point of putting all this effort and put on an outfit? You are gonna be on that stage, all eyes on you. Be a bit ambitious, a little something a glasses wearing ice skater and his coach taught me. 8. This can be applicable to any fandom, but if someone has different tastes than you then it's not the end of the world. I like KH others don't, some like BvS but I hate it. The world is still here and at the end of the day no one can change your tastes. Unless it's something illegal or it involves hurting people then you need help. And until we actually have an intellectual discussion about the things we like then time to whip out the sock'em boppers! 9. Lastly, have fun and be with the people who genuinely love and appreciate you. I think that's the best thing we can have and do.
