If you're reading this...

The show is over. The end has come. This is done.

Please don't attempt to recreate or reproduce anything I've written or my material, including but not limited to; the characters I've created, the story I've written, etc..

It was fun while it lasted, but (for me) the party is over.

Later nerds.

Reasons to Watch the John Wick Movies

Spoiler free. All items are either vague or based on information in the trailers.

Keanu Reeves is 52 and does 95% of his own stunts. Check out some of his training footage: (x) (x) (x) 

No female characters run around being “sexy assassins in heels and slinky dresses”. Ruby Rose wears a suit buttoned to her neck. Adrianne Palicki kicks ass in clothes that are actually practical for fighting in. Both are portrayed to be as dangerous as any of their male peers. 

Claudia Gerini represents the opposite side of the spectrum: that showing skin doesn’t make someone an object and that yes, contrary to what Hollywood thinks, women are still beautiful at 45.

No obnoxious monologuing from John. He just wants to get the job done as fast as he can so he can go home to his dog and maybe take a nap.

PIT BULLS ARE PORTRAYED AS CUTE AND LOVABLE NOT AGGRESSIVE AND VIOLENT.

Literally the plot of the first movie is that a guy goes on a murder rampage to avenge his puppy. 

Puppy death, though sad, is quick and not shown on-screen. 

I would die for Ian McShane so I feel the need to mention him somewhere in this list. 

John Wick has an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, and John Wick 2 has an 89%. Something especially rare for an action sequel. 

Seen by many as an art film full of symbolism and references to Greek mythology. 

The type of movies that acknowledges how ridiculous they are, and even pokes fun at it. 

There are no needless scenes where John has glistening six pack abs. Especially because John doesn’t have glistening six pack abs, he has a normal, average looking body. 

ASL is used by multiple characters in Chapter 2.

No forced romantic subplots. Just a dude killing people over a puppy. 

First movie has a really good soundtrack??? 

Lots of death but only one or two scenes with (minimal) gore. Sometimes when a guy goes down you don’t even see any blood. 

That guy who plays Mayhem in the Allstate commercials is in it because hoooooo boy there is def some mayhem going on. 

Idk I just really love Keanu Reeves. 

THIS HAS BEEN A PSA. REBLOG TO SAVE A MOVIE NIGHT.

More About the Lynx

Character development thing; repost, do not reblog.

tagged by: No one. full name: Faythe Enturose | Lynx Dilancri pronouns: She/Her gender & sexuality: Female & Heterosexual ethnicity & species: (of Kul Tiras) & Human birthplace & birthdate: Boralus, Kul Tiras & I forget

guilty pleasures: Cross dressing, cheep wine, romance novels fears/phobias: Being locked up, inability to sail, sea serpents what they would be infamous for: A violin playing boy no one knows the name of. what have they / would they have gotten arrested for: Mistaken treason, public indecency. character you ship them with: None at the moment. character most likely to murder them: I can’t think of any yet. favourite book genre: Steampunk romance. least favourite book cliché:  Feel-good romance. Like these two could actually have such a fucking perfect relationship. talents & / or powers: Cock blocking, persuasion, organization, leadership, navigation, sailing why someone might love them: Genuine attitude, flirtation, and drinking games. Lynx is well organized, great at book keeping, and willing to do what has to be done to follow through with a promise.

why someone might hate them: With the flirtation comes the people being suspicious of a cock tease or a whore, which some might even point out and find obnoxious. Her straight forward statements and honesty can throw people off, especially those whom like the game of politics, nobility, and war. She’sloyal to the means, so a few might not trust her.

how they change: Much of her story changes with the people around her. She started off as a supplier of food, drink, and medical aid for a mercenary group with a questionable backstory, but with each noble heart, scurvy pirate, and war-hardened person she’s adapted into someone who provides the needs of others while thinking about her own coin purse. She’s no longer a straight edge and with her twin’s death in Theramore she has a particularly difficult time trusting members of the Horde.

why you love them: Jumping around into something new and different. I enjoy how she speaks in my head, though rare as it is. Her spunk and flare remind me of my late teens and bring me back to easier times. She’s the first WoW character I made and represented myself greatly for a while.

Mostly everyone has figured it out but this Tumblr is more or less dead for the time being. I may use it to vent from time to time, but I hardly write as of late and with no access to the game my character is based in, I'm even less inclined to write. I've been rereading The Hunger Games Series. I've gotten a job (even though I can't work for the next two month because of transportation issues), family is having issues, things that I predicted would happen happened, I'm going to California in June to stay with my aunt for a month and possibly find opportunity out there, I'm working on enrolling for the fall semester at the CC near me, I have plans to be a teacher. I've thought about it a lot and teaching is a huge window of opportunity to change lives and impart the small amount of wisdom and knowledge I've gained in my life, and just the idea of effecting a child's life forever in a most positive way delights me to the core. I found faith. No I'm not talking about it. Ask me and I pillage your village. That should tell you something. I know not many are going to see this but I feel like the ones that will see it would want to know these types of things. I'm really bad at reaching out and saying hi to people, lol. On the path to wisdom, solitude is a key variable. I'm done rambling. If you see this, you probably know more about my life than you rightfully should, but that's a field I'll burn when I get to it. If I have to.

The Fall of Death’s Home

Valenor stared at the paper he’d received early in the morning. It had been delivered by a messenger of the Magistry with no words exchanged. He thought that suspicious, but he paid it hardly any attention. Staring at the seal, he began to reminisce, thinking back to his release from prison and his own denunciation of his Lordship. Cracking the wax, the flipped the letter open and read. It took him several moments to finish the letter, and when he finally had, he sighed and tossed it aside to his nightstand. 

“My brother has defected, leaving the House defunct and useless. They refuse to give me the title of Lordship due to my inherent involvement in the Murder of several Alliance operatives, and my children are ineligible due to illegitimacy. I...” he trailed off then, staring at the floor as a wide grin came across his face.

“I accept this. It’s necessary. Lords of assassination aren’t needed anymore. Treachery in the form of death and poison is being abolished, so I will roll with this.”

The large Orc that had been lighting incense sticks and emptying ash trays turned around and wiped his ash-stained hands on his tabard. “So, basically, they’re making your lineage unimportant? Is that... a fair assumption? Where does this put you and I?” he asked softly, acknowledging that the children were down for naps. 

Val eyed the man and nodded. He had the right of it for the most part. 

“Aye, they don’t see my children or myself fit to rule my House, so they’re removing it from the list of noble houses in Quel’thalas. What this means for you is nothing; you’re still employed, you’ll still be getting paid to fix my armor and weapons, but I won’t be able to attend anything I was able to attend as a Lord or even as a member of the House. Fortunately, I’ll still be able to get into those same meetings under the name of Sunborne, but I’m frankly not worried about going. Sunborne does nothing in the city, really. They hold no real power.”

The Orc nodded slowly, then turned back around and began tidying up his friend’s desk. “Then don’t go. It ain’t like you did anything of importance there anyway. Val, you’re one of the best assassins I’ve ever met, and the only one I’ve met that didn’t try to kill me on the first meeting. You don’t need to be a Lord to be great, and you don’t need to be a noble to be legendary. You just need to do what you’re good at and do it for a good cause.”

Uroxxar shuffled some papers then neatly laid them in a basket on the desk, turning around to look at the rogue with calm eyes. “Right now the Legion is invading the planet we live on, and you’ve already started making a difference. That’s AFTER coming back from a long hiatus. As far as your bother goes, let him defect. Who cares? Obviously he can’t handle leading the House to greatness, so why worry about him? He wasn’t even there for most of your life anyway. He’s not worth worrying about. Let him go.”

Val turned his head and listened to every word the Orc had to say, not once interrupting him to speak. When the monk had finished his rant of encouragement, Val simply nodded and stared at the floor. 

“I see. Well, at least someone has the sense to tell me what I apparently needed to hear. Thank you, Uro. I appreciate that.”

Looking at the paper once more, the rogue snatched it off the nightstand and lit it ablaze, letting the white ashes fall to the floor. He stamped them out and rubbed them into the stone, then stood up. “Time to be the greatest I can. No more rolling in my sorrows and regrets. I have a House to protect.”

I like flaws. I think they make things interesting.
