Backpfeifengesicht

It was impossible to say whose idea it had been, only that Johnny got the draw.

A jump scare. Just a harmless little prank for 141's favorite gal. Simon and König would be right there.

What Johnny didn't expect was that when he lunged out, masked, with a roar and a wave of his arms, your immediate reaction would be to snap your fist into his face, then kick straight up into his balls as hard as you could.

"Backpfeifengesicht," König mutters into his beer, shoulders leaning into the wall behind you on the porch.

In a chair next to him, Simon murmurs, "That's my girl." A smug, satisfied little smile tugs up at one corner of his mouth.

He and König tap their glasses together when Johnny, one hand over his balls and the other up to ward you off, takes off the mask and it only makes you yell louder and start hitting him again.

So I hit The 3 Strikes Job in my rewatch. Got to the end of the episode and boom!

“James Sterling, Interpol.”

I literally said Dammit! And about threw my phone. I always forget he pops up in this one til he’s there.

Such a great character. I just want to punch him.

Ahhh, thanks Eliot. I needed that!

Backpfeifengesicht

A German word meaning

“a face that deserves to be slapped or punched.” Martin Shkreli, the pharma bro, was [the author’s] illustration, until he came across a tweet from Ted Cruz’s college roommate. “When I met Ted in 1988,” it said, “I had no word describe him, but only because I didn’t speak German.”

We need to make Backpfeifengesicht happen, because there are many such cases.

For some reason I want to punch Miss Pauling in the face. She looks so goddamn punchable and I have no idea why.

Question: Did you really stop the "Backpfeifengesicht" fanfic? I didn't think it would end so abruptly like that, and from the replies I read in the comments of the most recent chapter, you had other chapters planned...? Sorry, I'm just really confused and kind-of sad that the fanfic would end without a proper wrap-up between Nanu and Reader, and I just really love your writing style in that fic, so I'm holding on to some hope that there's more in store.

Yeah, I was wondering when I would get these asks on The Tumblr. 😅 For clarity’s sake, the reader character is the female protagonist of SuMo, so I’m calling her Moon to avoid confusion.

I did plan to write more chapters of Backpfeifengesicht, but I ran into a couple of issues with writing the ending:

I originally wanted to make the fic have three endings (Nanu/Moon, Moon/Kukui, Neither) but I workshopped it and I couldn’t figure out how to make multiple endings work for the story. Multiple endings—as opposed to the one ending—were voted on by the readers a couple of years ago, so I felt bad for not being able to make it work.

Technically, Moon and Nanu were never supposed to end up together. The fic takes place before between | the lines, and if you know how that fic ends, Moon leaves Alola forever, leaving both Kukui and Nanu behind. I wanted to remain true to the spirit of the original concept (that Moon eventually leaves for Kanto) but it made me sad, haha.

I hope you understand why I kept the fic open-ended now. My writing style has changed so much over the years, and there’s a real possibility that Moon and Nanu will not end up together.
