this comment has me crying rn

[@DezmondtheRingmaster]

i gotta be real an say that james has the most morbidly entertaining reactions to these types of punishments. Especially the gasps and the wheezing. Although it could be because Aleks is always the one who loses to these things and gets the worst part of it so seeing James suffer is a rare treat
