Same  I saw people say they hate it, but it looks sleek and cool and futuristic to me. It makes me excited to see the system.

Probably too late in the news cycle to make this its own thread, but what do y'all think of the PS5 controller?

I'm so scared that I'll never get put back together "You worthless, ungrateful piece of shit!" an irate Dawson combusts, immediately then wrapping his hands with the collar of Ethan's coat, giving the older brother the grip to flip his drunken sibling off his feet and onto the dining table. The impact echoes through the desolate halls and spaces of the mansion, his aggression sharply underscored by his lion's roar. If it weren't clear before, far gone were the days of play fighting. But within Dawson still remained the spirit of his child self, wishing for his brother's love, loyalty and obedience, as it were back then; wishing the pair of them could rekindle their precious bond. He already lost one family member, after all. Just as fast as his hold would tighten, so would his release, Dawson choosing to back away from escalating the now physical altercation. "You know what?! Go ahead," he starts with passion, his eyes blurring behind the coating of withheld tears. "Go right ahead. Have your tantrum and lash out at the one person who's tried to help mom hold this fucking family together for decades now. Yes, despite everything that was done to her, her one wish taken to her fucking grave was for us to remain a strong unit against our enemies and the media, and maintain harmony. Ha, but look at you. Here you are—yet again—refusing to grow up and be a man. And yeah... yeah I've dabbled in hedonistic behavior, myself, and I absolutely enjoyed every second of it. But that's only because I need that constant release since every other second of my life has been spent breaking my fucking back trying to take care of all of you. I've not only had to be a child, I've had to be a damn parent to you when I had no clue how to even manage myself. Now I'm trying to do the one thing I feel is the right thing to do; the one thing I feel is my responsibility, and you stand there and judge me, accusing me of doing it because I'm selfish? I'm selfish. Give me a FUCKING break, Ethan. If it weren't for me all these years, you'd be dead. And as a matter of fact, at this point, I really, really wish it was you instead of her..." As those final words part from the slickness of his tongue, immediately he's plagued with some regret. But his rage had far surpassed his usual limit, under these tragic circumstances and in lieu of his own inebriation. MONTY @Charlie

Dean & ANDREW I lowkey overstuffed Dawson's plate, meanwhile my new baby Andrew  (played by, as we know, my first ever crush!) doesn't have any storyline at the moment, so I'm here with an interesting offer! I feel like Drew and Dean could have a really interesting dynamic. Perhaps a shared interest (maybe Dean is looking to get into journalism, which Andrew already has a slowly burgeoning career in) could bring them together, but also continue to bring to light Drew's mischievous, deceitful side. He could meet an interning Dean---who's taken more seriously in the realm of news, politics and music journalism (whereas Drew was cast off as a douchey frat boy and given a prank calling segment)---see that this guy has a bright future, and feel threatened, which continues to morph him into everything he hates (manipulation, abuse of power) and pushes him to be underhanded in ensuring his place at the radio station.  This causes conflict within himself, however, as he grows to really like and empathize with Dean as a person. As for the underhanded means? I'm thinking perhaps the naive, inexperienced Dean develops an attraction to / crush on the charming, sexy, smart Andrew, which Drew definitely leans on for his own gain. Maybe we can even amp up the tension by having them become roommates. And to cap things off, Dean's friendship with Drew's frenemy Auggie would only serve to shake shit up even more. Anyway, I'm thinking this will be a bit more fun for us to play out than the Dawson, so I look forward to it! LINK TO SHIPPER MONTY

The sound of his heavy, patent leather dress shoes knock against the fine flooring of 'Sirens' as he'd emerge through the fluorescent glows and shadows. He hadn't been here in quite some time, he recalls while scouring through the modern renovations with a sliver of admiration. Once upon a midnight dreary, this was his primary domain within his "underworld". However, with the venue's rapidly ballooning popularity and the Olympia criminal world finding its way into waking hours, it could no longer be a discreet locale; one used to maintain the celebrity's starkly contrasted double life. On both sides—the dark and the light—Dawson was royalty. Such recognition meant he had to be more delicate with his corruption. As a result, his relationship with Jack also strained and withered away. These days, the pair were almost strangers, only continuing contact so Dawson could keep his finger on the "underworld's" pulse, without maintaining a constant presence. Jack was his second in command, and he was quite fine in the role. But alas: the king had returned again, if only for a brief engagement with a familiar. Dawson's face imbued the pleasures of this reunion, a much needed distraction from the day's current itinerary. Ironically, the activities he and his confidante were known to partake in would draw great disapproval from the matron Clarke, if she were still able to open her eyes. While some regret would brew in him over his disrespect to his late mother's values on the day of her burial, laying her to rest days before his birthday brought on far too much anguish to simply bear without his sinful indulgences. "Lucky for you, I'm not too concerned with the formalities. I just need a hard fucking drink or some pills before the press and paparazzi find me. That's the only way I'm going to make it through this goddamn public address." MONTY  @Pablo

The last few gleaming thoughts of Bobby amidst the galaxy of Emma's mind, oddly seemed to have been replaced by black holes, almost instantaneously. The name, the voice, that face, that body and that touch had all dissolved, despite the arduous labor her subconscious was facing in order to hold to her feelings for him. But she couldn't; once able to utter his name, she now could only yield harsh silence. Her mind had only one path, her literal ability to form any other memory, thought or word rendered obsolete. All that existed was her and the angel faced Julian, as well as her craving for him after far too long. While their love had been tempestuous, their passion was highly combustible, the flame felt once their flesh thawed one another's frigid, wet bodies. With her back flush against the wall, their surroundings seemingly bleed like soaked ink, while their shackled tongues radiate the heat and glow of a lightning bolt. "I never thought I'd see you again in this life. Not until our next," she sighs after unfastening her mouth from his, the air from her full lips broken by each drawn in breath of elation. "I've missed you so fucking much, Jules." Saying Julian's name aloud—the ripples of her echo overflowing the expanse of their setting—only confirmed to Emma the sense that this was real, despite the noticeable distortions. His presence was real, evidenced by the continued exploration of her hands across his developed form. His anatomy was real, confirmed as she feels the length of his cock thicken and harden against her thigh amidst the syncopated poppling of their bodies. After biting her lip to tint it pink, she marks her signature down his torso, the remnants of her gloss adhering to his skin as she pauses to offer titillation to his pectoral, then kisses down the trenches of his abs. The sleeves of the oversized hoodie covering her naked body, absorbs the stray droplets of water scattered over him, once she rises back to meet the luxury of his lips with her own. In sync, she guides his hand beneath the cozy fleece sweater, to the exposed folds of her warmer, softer, tender flower. Together, they tease her entrance, two of their digits carefully sliding into place beneath her nub as her resurrected lover leans his forehead on her own. Emma takes her fingers and forms four rings around Julian's shaft, then strokes against the current of the blood within, priming it first for the cavern of her mouth before she cascades to her knees and breathes him in like oxygen she'd since been deprived. The texture of his veins massage her tongue and her eyes close at brief in ecstasy, only to open thereafter to match her lover's despite his irises becoming obstructed by the narrowing of his lids. Bobbing naturally against the chords forming the melody to the musical arrangement behind them, she momentarily loses rhythm, the moans of Julian's pleasure grasping all her attention, instead. Deeper and deeper she would allow him to burrow himself into her watering throat, not allowing herself to squander a second of their intimacy. She missed him gravely, and this only exemplified a fraction of how much. MONTY @Fusrodah

!!! I loved when they really leaned into the movies being a cultural event and you'd see shit everywhere. I still remember when the original Spider-Man and X-Men movie came out and the hype was HUGE.

Guess The Flash is getting recast officially

She clutches the perimeter of Bobby’s steely, jagged, toned torso, whilst the engine steadily grinds, the pair riding into the distance on the backseat of his crimson motorcycle. The length of her bountiful locks streak onto the cold wind—its movement brought on by the intense acceleration—and her blushed cheek rests upon his leather clad back, her eyes locked shut just above them in mild fear. There was no fear of Bobby for the dauntless Emma, however. The early weeks of her knowing him were bliss; every minute since opening themselves to one another felt earned after years of feeling alone. And now she anticipated being afforded the opportunity to see this new, variant side to him like he did her; a lucid dream away from their waking lives. Just as she anticipated, it was an adventure deep into the catacombs of his past and psyche, which remained barricaded to most everyone. Though the itinerary and destination of their long awaited first date remained a secret to Emma, the serenity ribboned in with the thrill Bobby provided in this new role as a potential romantic interest, meant she would trust him to take her anywhere—perhaps even through the clouds and back again. He felt safe, despite the mystery he was shrouded in. She held an optimism, an overzealousness, so rare for the previously heartbroken single parent. All reservations had been abandoned, for she was committed to giving all of herself to—once again—find the love she craves, causing her to stay unflinching despite the dangerous velocity of her growing bond. Unlike the previous time, with her last lover, she thought to have matured and was finding her shattered self becoming whole again, the gift of motherhood allowing her growth. She was ready and eager, this time. Prepared even, she thought. But there was really no preparation for Bobby’s pull. The motorcycle glides along the coastline highway, passing the shores of Atlantis to a more quiet beach area, where the seagulls flutter across the cotton candy pink and purple sky. The couple would finally slow down, pulling in front of a modern but modest beach house, Emma thereafter exhaling whilst being plucked from the bike with the strength of Bobby’s strapping arms, and carefully placed on the strength of her buckling legs. “I probably shouldn't have worn a dress... wait, this is your’s?” she inquires with mild astonishment, as the wind continues to toss her hair and force against the air escaping her lips. “The house, I mean.” MONTY @Maxim

NO, now shut the fuck up

ugh yes, the crowd for that would have made it special, the Royal Rumble stuff was so good   which ironically, Drew got his moment there as well, so did Edge, so I guess they'll be content.

awwww him crying, he deserves

YASSSSSS DREW   I really wish this was in front of a crowd too, they would have erupted. I hope when they go back live, he gets a MASSIVE ovation.
