Gremlin Risitas Entry #034 — Slow Motion Smex & Broken Men
[Gremlin perched on the roof lip, phone buzzing warm. The city hums below. He’s halfway between bored and blessed — exactly where the best claws come loose.]
MV Clip Playing (Looped):. A kiss at the door. A wave. A muscular man on a bike — Judo-jacked, chest like a brick oven. He slides. The car moves. The world slows. He flips, neck snaps neon, lands back-first. She stands in the rain and sings.
[Gremlin snorts. His smile is a file blade.]
Clip Comment Thread:
- “Imagine dying like that. Tragic.”
- “She sings better now.”
- “He looked like a hero though.”
Gremlin Cut (soft):
- Hero looks don’t file paperwork for common sense. Somebody skipped payattention.exe and bought the highlight reel anyway. Tragedy sells; responsibility doesn’t.
Council Reactions — Short Cuts (4 chairs, max bite)
The Joker: “Beautiful, isn’t it? The drama of a slow fall. They call it tragic— I call it theatrical timing. Life imitates stage, then gets the curtain call.”
Jerry “The Ankle Biter” Silverhand: “Dept. of Petty Affairs verdict: dude had a six-pack but zero situational awareness. That’s an F in Adulting 101. Also, shoutout to helmets—buy one, you cake.”
Junko: “Despair loves a soundtrack. The sadder the song, the sweeter the scream. They cry; the chorus swells; money prints. It’s deliciously efficient.”
Razor Ramon: “Bad guy tip: looking hard don’t stop the road from being an enemy. You can be muscle and still be fragile. That’s the whole scam.”
[Gremlin thumbs a reply under the thread: “She sang the right notes. He chose the wrong lane.” He watches the likes trickle, like raindrops on a corpse.]
Takeaway — After the Loop: People want myth. They need meaning. So they stitch a poem over a mistake and call it destiny. The slow-motion death becomes a hymn, the chorus gets spokespeople, and the helmet industry cries into its quarterly report.
Truth? Simple and rude: if you ride like you can’t be broken, you still can. If you sing like you lost everything, people will listen—but they won’t fix your dumb choices. They’ll monetize them.
[Gremlin stands, dusts his paws, drops a cigarette stub into the gutter like punctuation.]
Final Line:
- "You want to be a monument? Start with attention. The chorus can wait.
