You know that scene in John Wick 2 where he (John Wick) gets hit by a car and then he immediately fights the assassin driving that car, Cassian, and then they battle for like sixty minutes on the streets of Rome, shooting over cars, knife fighting, falling down a whole flight of stairs, and then grappling and grabbing each other on the cobblestones, yelling and grunting like a bunch of dudes having good old fashioned fun, and then finally they end up smashing right through a window and coincidentally landing in the assassin hotel "safe area" where they're not allowed to fight anymore...

and then they go and have a drink together?

I thought they should've fucked.

So I wrote a book about assassins who do that sort of thing regularly. Check it out here.

But I added what the scene was lacking, besides the fucking part...

Demons.

The scene for anyone who doesn't remember or doesn't know it.

This book has:

It's dark, it's humorous, it's romantic, it's riddled with absolutely insane fight scenes, and most importantly...

It's unabashedly queer and unrealistic and silly and yearn-y.

And I'd really appreciate if you'd help an indie author out, with a sale or a reblog! Agents and publishers told me that it was too queer for regular audiences...and that the concept was just not very compelling.

They might be right, but it still had to exist. I still had to make it, anyway. You know. You have to make the art that you want to see in the world.

Anyway.

Sorry for the long post...you can check out my website for future releases.

And last thing: Character commission of the MC, our lovably slutty pansexual assassin Sebastián Monterey:

And cheers! Sorry for the long post. Have a good night.

Shidou and Sae come back from a training session for just the two of them (on Ego's orders ofc, totally) and they're both wearing singed clothing, their hair is flat, some of Sae's is missing in chunks, Shidou has a broken handcuff on his right arm while Sae has one on his left, and also Shidou only has one shoe.

when asked what happened, Shidou says first dates are always just so crazy and fun 😊, while Sae says training went slightly differently than I planned.

women have a lot more compassion for men with mental illnesses than men do for men, but then men go around saying that men's mental health issues go ignored.

yeah.

by you.

Shidou: Had a dream you never wanted to play with me again.

Sae: Stop sleeping. We have work to do.

Shidou: 🥹 so you still want to play with me?

Sae: The only dream that matters is becoming the best. Stop worrying about the fake ones and focus on what's real.

Shidou: So you then.

Shidou: ok 🥰

Sae: Do I have to sit on you until you calm down

Shidou: 🫩 that will not calm me down 😳

Shidou: Please do.

Shidou flashing Sae because he thinks his reaction might be funny, only for Sae to stare back at him, unimpressed, and be like if you're not going to let me get a good look at it, then don't bother whipping it out at all.

Nagi getting eliminated is the most interesting thing Blue Lock has done in a very long time, and I don't understand his fans or NagiReo fans being mad about it.

Nagi has nowhere to go but up and tragic romance is sooooo juicy.

Like what, you wanted them to be happy forever and ever, in the MIDDLE of the story?

They'd do nothing then. They'd be a side note. They'd fade into the background.

Another divorce is like... prime fanfic angst material. It's beautiful.

You are so spoiled. I'm a RyuSae Kunigiri BachiRin IsaBachi shipper, and I think you don't understand just how blessed you are, to have this wonderful narrative focus when my favs have been AWOL for a very long time, and irrelevant.

Like you really think Nagi is gone forever? Oh please.

and NagiReo is just ramping up.

I don't get how you don't see that as the absolute treat it is.

This feels like a return to form for Blue Lock. It's a perfect decision, to show him and Isagi's arcs developing in reverse.

Isagi passed to someone, and lost bc he couldn't take the shot himself. Nagi passed to someone, and lost because he couldn't take the shot.

Isagi started off as the worst player in his stratum. now he's number one.

Nagi started off as the number one of his stratum. he is now eliminated. the worst player in the whole potential blue lock team.

and it's for doing the same thing that started Isagi's journey.

that's actually amazing writing.

the kind of writing blue lock forgot it had.

NEL has also been such a snooze fest.

finally. there are consequences and stakes again!!

and it's also brilliant because it was Nagi who left Reo behind twice. Three times.

Now it's finally time for Nagi to be left behind.

It's time for him to chase Reo, and realize just how badly he needs to be with that boy.

winning the world cup with him.

seriously.

Nagi fans who are not homophobic dudebros and NagiReo fans.

Feel sad about it. Be upset. that's a good thing.

stories should make you feel something.

but stop acting like this was bad writing.

it was the best writing this entire wretched arc has had.

and I scoff at you for being mad that Nagi might be gone for a bit.

you have episode nagi every goddamn month.

your fav won't be gone from the main manga for long anyway.

I say this as a Bachira fan.

you'll fucking live.

blue lock is saved.

I'm so relieved.

showing the final fucking rankings as bachira is dribbling the whole team and scoring is actually insane fucking work

like this is pure cinema holy fuck. blue lock peak again.
