Johnny Utah and Tyler Endicott

Summary:

To celebrate the 32nd Anniversary of the film Point Break (which was actually yesterday), a fanart of Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah and Lori Petty as Tyler Endicott.

Notes:

Dear Keanu;

Okay...

So maybe I'm still in the dark and don't know what the puzzle is I'm working on. :/

Anyway, regardless, there is a somewhat funny story about this entry.

Well, I was thinking on Friday night how I would need to do an art of Johnny and Tyler someday, and I thought that was pretty cool. When I was young, I thought Lori Petty was awesome because I wanted her to go with Booker on that 21 Jump Street spin off. Only then they took the show off, or so I thought. They hadn't, but it was just as well, because her character was written off, which would have been disappointing.

Um...did that have anything to do with Point Break, because I would hate it if it did. >:(

But, I was going to draw the pic on Saturday but thought I should check to see if the film was released anytime in July, which it was:

July 12th.

I put it aside until that day to draw.

Only then my mind mixed it with the 13th for some reason.

Which was actually the day Siberia was released. I was going to draw a couple pic from that film yesterday (and I still will sometime), because I was afraid I was taking too long with the Destination Wedding chapter, but then several things bothered me about it. Won't get into those now.

Anyway. I gave up on that.

But still thought I'd do this for today.

Which is technically a day late.

Point Break is now 32 years and 1 day old.

Sigh.

Better late than never.

It was done mostly with a 0.5 mechanical pencil. I think they turn out differently sometimes.

I am possessed by the 0.5 mechanical pencil!

Help me!

But, seriously, I need to pick up more because mine are running out, but after a few years of use, that was a pretty good run with them.

I also did the different versions of this because it being placed on the beach reminded me of my previous one of John Wick and Helen on the beach.

Maybe I can do a series.

Although, I'm not expecting it to be as popular as, say, if it was of Bodhi and Johnny.

While I was searching for this, something bothered me. I saw this list of them ranking your costars and whom you had the most chemistry with.

They put all of the girls at the bottom and all of the guys at the top, including Ian McShane. McShane over Bullock and Theron??? Really????? *rolls eyes*

Big surprise, it was written by a woman. :/

What bugs me is that most girls who do that like to pass themselves off as doing something socially relevant. They assume an air of righteousness.

Guys are so much more honest about that sort of thing. They've been interested in girls on girls forever. It's been a staple of their porn since porn began. It's a prerequisite. Honestly. Most porn movies geared at men are REQUIRED to have a lesbian sex scene. It's unusual if they don't. Tara's friends with a very nice woman whom wrote porn in the 80-90s and she was marking off the checklist and that was on it.

Her friend, porn actor Jerry Butler liked lesbian porn so much, he couldn't watch anything with a man. He even wanted to come back as a "hot" lesbian after he died. Not just a lesbian, a "HOT" lesbian.

*rolls eyes again*

Guys acknowledge it, though, and can even make fun of themselves. Like on "According to Jim" where the wife was ribbing him about his porn stash and he defended "Those girls love each other".

I saw a fic here written where they had a gay character marry a woman and, boy, did the poor author ever take a beating! One wise person pointed out there are literally millions of fics turning straight characters gay, but the person they were arguing with gave some excuse about diversity and how the default setting for any character was straight so they were basically okay to play around with but if it was a canon gay character it was different. Hypocritical bullshit! A lot of the straight characters they play around with ARE straight and the authors deep down know that.

People still write Sam/Dean on Supernatural and the fact they had the characters on the show be grossed out about it hasn't been enough to stop them.

You and River were number one as a couple, Keanu, another big surprise.

Yawn.

I still don't even think you two had any real chemistry. It was stilted. You were just two hot guys together on screen, but that's all it takes.

But, I thought how this won't get as much interest because it's Lori Petty, which is sad since writer W. Peter Iliff based Tyler off of his wife, whom he loves dearly and credits for making him into a man. I mean, the way he talks about her is the way every woman wants their man to talk about them.

But...

Oh, well, I can appreciate it anyway.

Because I would want a man I love to talk that way about me. I would also ask that he walk the walk too.

But...

Maybe if you look at that first photo, you'll notice that the pillow underneath it...

It isn't you.

There are glasses.

I've been using my Egon pillow since sometime after Brazil, to be honest, because I was heartbroken. The one with you from the Comic Con last year was barely broken in.

I also used to have a Point Break silk poster on my wall, but I tore it off after then too. I didn't care if I was like Stan in that song, because I knew that I wasn't Stan. But I tore it down the middle, intentionally, so I could never use it again, never put it back on my wall.

And besides one moment, the day after, I haven't regretted it or missed it much.

With what happened in February with John Wick 4, it further helped. And remembering how I felt after your Brazil trip (when you bowed down to the audience, mentioned Madea and your girlfriend and specifically made it a point to jump out of the car to spend a moment with that buxom girl in the red dress), how I'd just spent weeks dealing with someone being rude before Halloween, and then that bully under the Dracula fic shortly after that, I felt the pain all over again and could understand everything I did.

The pain, sadness, loss and loneliness all came back.

But I've been sleeping with my Egon pillow while the ones I have of you, my dearest friend, were put sadly to the side, where they have stayed until I figure things out.

Because I still don't know what's going on.

I still love you, but being in the dark is painful.

And I think that woman was right yesterday: I think my Guardian Angel is trying to protect me, only just not from your girlfriend, but from you as well.

He sees things I don't, afterall. He knows the truth, which scares me sometimes.

I agree with a lot of what the tarot reader said yesterday, but if I was using my Will Graham intuition/empathy here, I would make some alterations.

For one, I wouldn't think your girl would want revenge on you for me. Yes, okay, she would, but her being in your life and hurting you, that began long before I showed up. She moved into your house, she somehow gets you to give her money and fund her silly projects, she dominates you.

The reader did originally say that Pisces' person being plagued by demons was a part of God's plan. Only then she changed it, saying God didn't do shitty things like that. No, He doesn't. The thing is, I worry that somewhere, sometime you did something wrong, Keanu Reeves, and God punishes those He loves. Those He doesn't give a damn about He let's slide.

I worry that at some point in your life, by some action, you bought Alexandra Grant and God gives us simply what we paid for.

Or, maybe, I should say, the devil does.

Maybe it was you stringing along all those women for years and using them, all the womanizing, threesomes and cheating, maybe it was using Jennifer's memory in a way that wasn't wholly honest, maybe it had to do with money, but it sealed it so that one day the devil would come calling.

And she did.

And maybe it looked good on paper...the age appropriate girlfriend whom is an "artist" and maybe you cared about your image too much...but what's inside matters more and maybe that's the lesson here: it doesn't matter if it looks good to the world it matters more if it is good for you.

Later the reader also said you might be like a child whom didn't know anything about witchcraft etc...but I don't believe that either. You said you did a Buddhist ritual every morning to help ward off evil once, you mentioned pagan ceremonies and you also said that you'd read an evil book, written by an offensive man, about the occult.

So, you would know.

And likewise, that might have attracted something bad to you. It's not good to mess around with things, especially dark things, and that author you mentioned was extremely bad.

Of course, this is if anything the reader said was really about you.

I don't know.

I'm afraid you might never stop drinking though. I'm sure you could if you wanted to, because I think you could do almost anything, my wild and reckless lad, but I don't believe you will.

I don't think you want to.

*Deep breath*

You know...

I think I really should have worked on Barn Wick 2 yesterday and Barn Wick 3 today. 😔

All my love forever,
