But things has been great in RP. Lang is never going to forgive Ray, but he still knows why he’s done what he’s done. Ray tried swallow his pride for Yuno and apologized, and it was too late. It’s too late.

It’s as Yuno said. The boys they were-each other’s boys, they don’t exist anymore. And they’ve been holding onto each other’s ghosts but Ray forced them all to face reality. And the reality is that they would choose Lang, even when he was wrong. They would die for him, kill their brother, for him.

It’s not easy but. All this is because of Ray. And Lang escalated. By demanding to torture Maxine for sure. But still.

The best scene was Mickey calling Ray to the spot where Ray oceandumped him all those years ago to talk as brothers and after a good few minutes like 10 squad cars come rolling in and Baas and Knight says Ray is violating parole and thanks Mickey. Mickey insists he didn’t know and you can here it in his voice-the fear, the confusion. Ray just says “betrayed again, leave.” From inside the cop car. Mickey says he loves him, brother, Ray says he loves him too but fuck and to just drive. There’s no world where this wasn’t a setup. A minute later, Kitty pulls up and Mickey runs up to her, “Kitty, what did you do? Who did you tell?”

(Ray self snitched btw. Blau was so confused by it. It was all so movie like.)

There has been funny shit though. Marty finally gave Yuno his CG chain back. Tony asked to see it and immediately dropped it out the car window. I expected nothing less. Yuno and Mickey got Ray drunk and flung him out of a sea plane. Mickey is now the CEO of the VU. Marty and his boys owns it. He knew exactly who to hire as CEO

I just reread my Conan and Yuno fic series and I miss their canon dynamics so much. How extra Yuno was for Conan, how extra Conan was for Yuno. How they were playful enemies and both were important. But in the daylight, they were friends. And when push came to shove(When NBC shot Conan, when Yuno got kidnapped as a hostage for a bank and texted Conan over anyone else), the care came to the forefront. How flirty they were.

(April 2021 was hands down the best nostalgic plot/relationship Nopixel month. The first banks, the fated meeting of Ray, Tony, and Lang as a heist crew. The Soy Boys paleto and the way they fell apart afterwards. Chaos helping them towards the vault(And now looking back Chaos was just Flippy and his people! Just Flippy being scary in masks and a voice changer! Flip!). Earning Lang and Tony's trust. the NBC job and learning some crews are more lose with their guns-and sometimes they will shoot people Yuno loves. Conan, even. But Yuno is crazy enough to do it again. The sandwich bandit arc and yeah, he played with Garry at the start of it, and AJ, but mostly, the sandwich bandit focused on his park ranger. Dean's world opening. The first failed vault

April 2021 was golden storytelling for Yuno Sykk and Sykkuno.)

4/4 OG Cleanbois heist squad reunited!!!! My boys!!!!

All was supposed to be good but then Marty found out the next day and camped VAR and tried to 1v6 them. He got ocean dumped, Carmella let them use her yellow(She finally did an all girls Vault! She showed Yuno her new mansion and of course Yuno trolled Ramee that his girlfriend invited him over) to buy the PixelPad for the Yacht, which was meant to be Jack, X, Marty, and Yuno. CG pulled up and kidnapped them. Ocean dumped the other three, but kept Yuno alive.

Asked him why he still hung around with X and Marty because they kept pulling dumb shit and pulling Yuno and CB into it. Because CG didn't want to fight, but if X continued this, they would. And CB would be pulled into this. And why was Yuno still continuing to hang out with X when X was ignoring that Yuno and CB didn't want to fight?

And Yuno knew X was doing dumb shit. That this time CG wasn't really in the wrong and they're his friends too. Like-Randy and Ramee, he goes really far back with them. Randy was on his first bank job. Ramee used to drop everything to save him from house robberies. Mickey used to whine because Yuno was Ramee's favorite way back when. It's hard to go against them.

But X and him also goes way back. X inspired him to hack. He has his femily-Tony and Lang and Ray and Mickey- because X inspired him to hack. And he lost Ramee and Randy, in a way, because he chose Lang and co. Because their two and a half groups always ends up at war and driving wedges between each other. And friendship is so important to Yuno. No matter how much CG hurts CB, he can't fully cut off Ramee and Randy because they're his friends. They were there for him until the reality of gang life set in.

And so is X. So even if CG is right, he's dumb and he doesn't respect what CB wants and he's not even really one of their boys, he can't turn his back on X. And Lang is loyal to X too. And it's tearing him up because he knows it all logically. But it's X. So he asked them to ocean dump him so he'd forget the past hour or two. But they didn't.

K said don't tell anyone but Lang, to tell Lang to call him tomorrow and they'd all talk, the CB boys. Like I get it. I get it. All three groups mean a lot to Yuno. When X gets along with CB, it's perfect. But Marty just... is eh. He brings out the X in Jean Paul(Also X doesn't trust Yuno anymore and lied to him last night because he thought he was leaking info to CG).

Saab proving to be like every other man in Los Santos and he's already into Yuno after a mere meeting(this time). Lol.

I feel like I missed pieces and there's speculation she saw a bad clip but there's been a semi big thing about April and Raemond and their loyalty to CG(Particular during "wartime." Not war war but gang war. Is it insensitive to call it wartime?) and April's felt like there's particularly an air of people who don't view her as equal in the gang specifically because she's still Ramee's official sugar baby and he pays between $30k-$75k a week for the LFA.

There's a lookout they happened across one afternoon cruising with friends, and she said she liked the view, and later that night he sought her out to vent and took her back there to talk and when he heard she wanted to talk talk he was like "Let's go to our spot." To set the scene, it's the parking garage by the ocean where Yuno and Dundee talked after Rainbow Road.

And once they were there, she said she wanted to take over the LFA payments. She wanted to make the money. If that meant extorting other guys, or working at UWU for real, or whatever. She just wanted to pay.

He pressed her, of course. And she said that she got the feeling some of CG didn't respect her entirely and she didn't want to have the sugar aspect as part of the gang anymore. She's a proud sugrbaby, but not with the gang. She wants to be seen as equal, independent, with their femly.

He was worried, because he doesn't get the feel anyone disrespects her(Typical guy) and kept pressing her for WHO(I saw a comment that said Ramee was worried this sudden decision was caused by an OOC thing, which makes sense with how much he was pressing). He also said that they would stop payments but if she ever was struggling to make payments, he would give her money. Because it was an assholeish thing to buy her a car she couldn't pay for and then leave her the bills. He will spam payments behind her back before he lets her lose her baby.

I went on a Ramee/April side tangent but this is independent!April love. I'm proud of her for saying I'm proud of my hustle but my relationship with these people has grown over a year and I'm going exclude them from it and I'm also going to move my hustle outwards so I'm independent from them so I can support myself in case things happen.

We have been rooting for independent April since Ramee was a toxic bf playing games with the LFA payments so it's a long time coming.

Oh god this is so cool!!! They don't know what they did correctly(And I started a bit before the right math prompt because my brain is fried).

So, it was just Yuno, Lang, Tony, X, and Marty Sadge about Mickey and Ray but punishment for them still having drama? Jk Ray was sleeping and he showed up in chat afterwards was like "I was just sleeping Sadge."

So after the prompt, they could rob the security deposit boxes and get all four colored laptops! They could use them to access LAN in the other boxes and each laptop was a different hack!

Green-Typical Laptop hack(Marty)

Blue-Thermite(Yuno)

Red-VAR(Yuno)

Yellow-Generator(X)

The better you hacked, the more money you got. They ended up with not the best payout because they didn't know who would be the ideal laptop matchup so Yuno accidentally wasted some usage on Yellow and X on Red. Now they know. But they got ~2.2 mil, but they all agreed that it should all go to go to Speedy because of the debts and they're still 1mil in debt.

The second they sat down in the manor Lang asked for Marty's state ID to give him manor keys and Marty said he wants to wait until they do it properly with the full squad.

They don't know how long the cooldown is but absolutely next time they're going all out, full squad, escape plans, RPGs, fans hope matching outfits. It will be great to see

The clip itself is from the Rooster's Rest, back when it was popping. Back when the nerds worked there and they were having unpaid janitor try taking order(Bjorn:"Back to cleaning toliets") and Yuno was like the meal comes with tea and entry to the food(Because... Syk) and Conan was like "Entry to the food? I'm pretty sure it's entree, dumbass." And Sykkuno started laughing the second Ramee said dumbass and Conan laughed so fondly at Yuno's antics.

(Later he tipped Yuno though and asked if Yuno still did crime, because this was way before their cat and mouse. Yuno, of course, was like no, I have a job here, a job at the casino and Conan was content knowing Yuno no longer roamed the streets before Gloryon-in his old priest robes!- pulled Yuno away to clean the bathrooms, but not before the staff got threatened to treat Yuno nicely or the park rangers would shut RR down)

But then Yuno walked into the bathroom and I was like. I forgot they used to put up signs for Yuno to "clean" and make the bathrooms filthy for him. And then Claire called and he had to juggle the two competing jobs(I was always a casino fan though-I initially thought the fact that harsh boss Claire was also a crim was super weird and now I laugh. Also I thought Dean was some rich asshole). Yuno spent a long time waiting for house jobs because that was the only things available.

Like wow, were things different then. But familiar in an old way. House jobs, Leyla and Yuno's friendship, Conan's fondness, Gloryon's looks, balancing filthy bathrooms and pleasing bosses that seemed scary but now we know they're just regular characters. Oh! Yuno gambled with Denzel and Harry but we didn't know who they were at that time.

I think it's also surreal. Seeing them all, seeing Yuno on week 2 or 3 and knowing where they all go. But this is all the beginnings. Before the first bank, before the fateful paleto for Lang, before the Sandwich Bandit and Park Ranger, before the vaults and VAR. This was Yuno before all of the glitz and glam, trying to figure out his place in this city.
