Jane and John had both eaten a quick bowl of cereal and some fruit for breakfast as they had slept in and were running slightly late for their afternoon plans. They got dressed quickly. Jane opted for black biker shorts and one of John’s shirts because she wanted one that had a bigger fit today. John put on a pair of athletic shorts and a t-shirt. They both wore gym shoes. 

The car ride over was filled with the duo singing along to one of John’s playlists. It bounced between the Black Eyed Peas to Britney Spears to Three Doors Down. They talked about when they were going to order the stuff for the home theater. Ramble brought up Fanboy to which Mute blushed and told him to drop it. They pulled into the parking lot of the bar both excited to play dog fight football for the first time. 

They saw that some of the others had already arrived and that some of them weren’t there yet. Jane was the first one out of the car this time. But John was quick to meet her on her side of the car. He opened the back door and reached into their beach bag for the sunscreen. He sprayed down Jane and then she returned the action. He grabbed the bag as Jane went to the trunk grabbing out their chairs just in case. 

Mute had a really good feeling about the day. After the week with the crew she was finally starting to feel like she fit in. The final point was what Mickey told her last night. How they were all her friends and that they loved having her here. More importantly, he was her friend. 

As they made their way behind the building they heard music coming from inside. As they rounded the building they saw Fanboy, Payback, Halo, and Hangman already on the patio. Fanboy and Mute made eye contact over Hangman’s shoulder and Mute put a finger to her lips telling him to be quiet. She carefully made her way behind Hangman. Once she was about a foot away from him she let out a loud “boo” which had the pilot jumping in the air screaming. 

He whipped around seeing the duo giggling behind him. Mute had a giant triumphant smile on her face. “Fuck Mute you’re just as sneaky as Bob is.” He told her, shaking his head. Mute made her way up the stairs gaining high fives from Payback and Halo. 

“Hi Fanboy.” Mute said to the back seater and he decided he’d never get tired of hearing her say his callsign. 

“Hiya Mute, have a good drive in?” He asked her with a friendly smile on his face.

“We did, even though I had to listen to John’s absolutely terrible singing the whole time.” John smacked the red head's arm at that. 

“Hey don’t be rude, I’m the best fucking singer you’ve ever heard.” He told her with a pout. 

“Oh yes I’m so sorry forgive me oh amazing one.” Mute said, trying hard not to laugh. Fanboy just stared at her, happy to see her calmer and more relaxed than when she left the night before. He hoped he could see her like this everyday. 

“I’ll forgive you this time. But only because you are just too damn cute not to.” John said as he tapped her nose with his finger giving her a beaming smile. She swatted his hand away in return before giving him an equally happy smile. 

“Where’s everyone else at?” John asked the group of aviators. 

“Omaha decided to stay home because his wife isn’t feeling well today. Fritz and Rooster are inside helping Penny, Mav and Hondo with something. Bob and Phoenix are on their way.” Halo replied to the taller man. 

“Where’s Coyote at?” Mute asked Hangman, the blonde seemed mildly surprised at the question. The only time she had spoken to him was in the air. 

“He had to run by the store to grab a case of water and some chips for lunch. He should be here soon though. Then we’ll see how good you play.” He responded to her sending a wink her way at the end of the sentence. 

“She’s gonna whoop your ass bagman.” Phoenix spoke up from behind him as she and Bob rounded the corner. Mute gave her a fist bump as they made their way onto the patio. 

“I’m gonna run the food inside. Then we can head out to the beach and get our chairs set up.” Phoenix said to Mute as she passed her, Mute gave her a nod in reply. Phoenix was quick running the food in and was out in less than a minute. As the two front seaters started down the stairs Mickey, John and Bob joined them. 

              🌊🏈🌊🏈🌊🏈🌊🏈

They had finished setting up about 15 minutes ago. Chairs, umbrellas, coolers and bags all lined up. Natasha, Bob and Mickey had explained the rules of dogfight football and now they were all sat talking getting to know each other better. Mute stood up and announced she was going to run up to the bar and asked if anyone needed anything. They all told her they were fine. 

Then she was on her way to the building. She passed by Coyote on the patio who must've gotten there while they were setting up. She gave him a nod in greeting before slipping into the building a wave of cool air hitting her as she entered. Right before the door closed she heard Hangman speak up. 

“Have any of you heard her talk as much as she did this morning when she got here?” He asked the group but Mute didn’t stick around to hear their reply. She rushed to the bathroom as anxiety flowed through her.

She had finally felt like she was fitting in. She was hoping she could find a group where she was comfortable. But now she was regretting talking so much. She should’ve known better, thoughts of her childhood flowed through her mind. All the times kids, teachers and her parents told her she talked too much. How the kids would tell her to just shut up already. How her parents would reprimand her when teachers would write on her report cards that she was talkative. 

She had decided when she graduated high school and started the academy that she wouldn’t talk to anyone unless it was a superior. John was the only one she had opened up to in ages. He had wormed his way into her life no matter how much she silently protested. Now her heart broke as she realized it was like high school all over again.

She quickly went to the bathroom before slipping back outside and walking down the beach. Everyone was gathered around near the water so she hurried her steps until she was stood by John. He flung his arm over her shoulders and pulled her into a side hug continuing his conversation with Maverick. She noticed a beautiful woman she hadn't seen before standing and talking to Rooster about something. As their conversation died out Mav turned to Mute. 

“Hey Mute.” He greeted her with his usual Maverick smile then he gestured towards the woman that had been talking to Rooster. She wasn’t standing next to Rooster anymore she was right next to Mav. Mute must’ve zoned out because she didn’t see her walk over. 

“This is my fiancé Penny, I don’t think you’ve met her yet. She was out the two nights you guys came this week.” Then Maverick was nodding towards Mute and Ramble. “This is my new two seater team I was telling you about. Jane and John or otherwise known as Mute and Ramble.” 

“You are the pair that got tone on him Monday aren’t you?” Penny gave a beaming smile before extending her hand to shake the aviators. 

“That would be us.” John replied quickly with a proud smile on his face. 

“He needs his ego knocked down sometimes so thank you for that.” Penny said back, sending a wink towards Maverick. He gave her a playful shake of his head at that. 

“Alright old man, are you ready to get your ass kicked?” Rooster said as he came up behind Maverick and slapped him on the back lightly. 

“I’m gonna kick your ass sounds more like what’s going to happen.” The captain replied. 

“Let’s get this party started, aviators.” He yelled out to the group. 

“Rooster, Fanboy, Fritz, Mute, Phoenix and Coyote on a team. Halo, Bob, Ramble, Hangman, Payback and myself on the other.” He said as everyone gathered around the footballs. Hondo blew a whistle and then they were off. 

             🌊🏈🌊🏈🌊🏈🌊🏈

Mute was having a great time, she had gotten the hang of the game pretty quickly. The thoughts of what Hangman said earlier were cleared from her head as she was passed the ball by Fritz. She could see Ramble coming towards her from the corner of her eye. She sidestepped him quickly as he came up on her. The wind rushed across her face as she ran past her backseater.

She was on cloud nine as she weaved through the aviators until she was scoring with the ball. Her team cheered her name as they all came up on her. Rooster and Coyote picked her up as Phoenix gave Hangman a middle finger. Fanboy and Fritz were hollering at her patting her legs. She had a wide smile on her face when her eyes connected with Fanboys. He gave her a beaming smile, a look of pure happiness in his eyes. 

As she was set back down on her feet John came running over. He dramatically fell to his knees before bringing his head down to the ground. His arms were stretched out towards Mute hands grasping sand. He brought his head back up. The sand he gathered in his hands slipped through his fingers as he brought his outstretched arms towards the sky. Mute giggled at her best friend's antics realizing he was bowing for her. 

“All hail the powerful Jane.” He spoke out in an announcer's voice. Then like dominos all the aviators around her fell to their knees. Bowing dramatically at her feet. 

“All hail the powerful Jane.” They all spoke out through their laughter. The scene before her reminded her of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The scene was so similar to when Bridget was playing soccer and her friends bowed for her. Then Mute was flashing back to before the game started. The words Hangman spoke flowing through her and her mood soured again. Even though Fanboy said they were all her friends she was now having a hard time believing it. 

They all slowly stood up but then John was tackling her down into the sand. They both laid there as John rolled off her. They were breathing heavily as they looked upon the clouded sky. Jane fixed her sunglasses that were knocked askew when John tackled her. The other aviators moved away from the duo as Mav called for lunch. 

John grabbed her hand and squeezed once a silent ‘Cammineremo’. He could tell something was wrong when she hesitated to squeeze back. Her silent ‘Saremo Potenti’ came as two weak squeezes back. He turned towards her and saw the solemn look on her face. He had seen that look before. She got that look when she felt as though she was alone again. That look lived on her face when they became friends all those years ago. 

“What happened?” John asked her quietly not wanting anyone else to hear their conversation. 

“Hangman made a comment about how much I was talking this morning.” She replied, turning her head to look at him. She thought about not telling him and trying to act as though she was fine. She wouldn’t have been able to though, he had always been able to read her. 

“Do you want me to go and say something?” He asked her, already moving, to get up. But he stopped as she shook her head. 

“It’s alright John, I’m okay.” She told him with a weak smile. “Let’s go and get something to eat. I'm starving since I cleaned the floor with you in that game.” 

“Okay hotshot let’s go and get you some food.” The wso said as he stood up pulling her along with him. He had decided to talk to Hangman anyways. 

             🌊🏈🌊🏈🌊🏈🌊🏈

They had eaten lunch and played a few more games. They had all taken a swim afterwards to cool off. John and Jane took turns dunking each other under the water. The group played a few pool games. Categories, racing, who can hold their breath the longest and a few rounds of chicken. Now they were all sitting around a bonfire a couple yards away from the Hard Deck. They wanted to be far enough away to avoid the crowd. But also close enough to go and grab drinks if they wanted. There was a faint breeze that would occasionally wash over the group of navy personnel. 

Idle chatter flowed about the group. Mute sat listening to the group talk to each other. Ramble kept a hand on her leg occasionally stroking his thumb along her knee. Hangman stood up from his spot in the sand. He announced to the group that he was going to go grab some drinks from the bar and asked if anyone wanted anything. Everyone responded with a yes or a no. 

“I’ll go with you and help.” Ramble said as he stood up striding towards the blonde as he walked away. Mute didn’t think anything of it. But John had a plan forming as he and the aviator walked together. 

“Did you say something about Mute talking too much this morning?” John asked Jake bluntly, wanting to get straight to the point. Jake looked stunned for a second before responding. 

“What are you fucking talking about man?” He asked the taller man. 

“She went to the bathroom this morning and she was fine. She came back and she was acting a little upset. When I asked what was wrong before lunch she said you made a comment about her talking too much. So did you make a comment about it or not?” Jake stared at John for a second then went to defend himself before a look of regret popped up on his face. 

“Fuck, I said something this morning about how I had never heard her talk as much as she was this morning. She must not have heard the rest of what I said. I told them how great it was to see her coming out of her shell. I’m so sorry man, I really didn’t mean anything by it I swear.” Jake said with a slight pleading look on his face. John narrowed his eyes at him. 

“It’s not me you should be apologizing to. When we get back to the group I expect you to apologize to her.” Jake nodded his head bringing a hand up to his neck sheepishly.

“I really didn’t mean to offend your girlfriend. I’ll apologize when we get back.” John laughed at that. 

“She’s not my girlfriend.” He told the blonde.

“So you’re both single then?” Jake asked him. 

“Yes we are both single.” John said reluctantly, Jake wasn’t the one he wanted Jane with. Fanboy would be perfect for her if either of them got up the guts to actually talk to each other. The conversation was dropped at that.

Once they got back to the fire Jake asked Jane to go on a walk with him. She looked at John with a curious look and he just nodded his head. So she stood up and walked towards the blonde. He let her lead him down the beach. Then he apologized to her. Back at the fire, they were sitting around talking when Nat asked John about his tattoo. 

“Hey John, I noticed a tattoo on your chest earlier. What’s it say?” She asked him before taking a sip of her drink. 

“Saremo Potenti, it’s Italian for we shall be mighty.” He said as his hand came to lay on his shirt right above the tattoo. 

“Does it mean anything?” Rooster piped up.

“It’s something that Mute says to me. She has one that kind of matches mine in the same place right above her heart.” He said as he thought about their time at the tattoo shop. 

“What does hers say?” Asked Halo.

“Cammineremo, it’s Italian for we shall stride. That’s what I say to her, it’s normally before something that’s stressful or uncomfortable. It started while we were back at the academy.” He replied to the group. He looked up at the beach and spotted her walking with Jake. They seemed to be in the middle of a conversation. 

“How long have you two been dating?” Came Fritz with the question this time.

“We aren’t dating. She’s more like a little sister to me.” He laughed as he shook his head.

“Though I imagine if I wasn’t gay then I’d definitely go for her. She’s quite the catch once you get to know her.” Fanboy could feel relief wash over him at the realization. But then there was jealousy and disappointment. It was obvious now that Hangman was trying to worm his way into her pants. Hangman was a very attractive man, he had seen plenty of air bunnies fawning over him at their time in the bar. There’s no way he had a chance if Hangman was after her. 

“I’m gonna head out guys.” Fanboy said abruptly as he stood up. He gathered his chair and was making his way to his car not waiting for anyone to say anything. He would miss the disappointment in Mutes face when she got back to the fire and saw that he was gone.

A/N:I think this one had a bit more of fleshing out than the last chapters did. I also realize that this part literally took forever and that's my bad sorry guys. Please wear sunscreen and protect yourself against the evil sun!☀️

Christopher Pierre and Actions Speak Louder Than Words (The Distortionist)

[orangeleftyart]

Drawing of Crispy I did while I was out camping:

Bonus sketch:

(One of my friends wanted me to draw him holding a detached eyeball >:3 lol)

[tekidoll]

Recently learned Crispy’s canon lore.

whack.

but this just makes me love him more bc the more whack a character is the cooler they are.

sorry it took me so long to respond to this 😭😭

but yeah his lore is pretty interesting and its too bad we never really got to know too much about it

but i especially wanna know more about the other side characters like asltw and lilia and teatime and stuff since we know even less about them

[xcastawayherosx]

You've been bitten by the fic writing bug 🐞 May you have inspiration, motivation, and time to write!

I have been struggling hard these last 3 days to write anything. ASLTW is literally at an odd tipping point between love and hate😂

Hi!!!! I've been reading your fics for a while now (some of them I honestly didn't realize were all written by you) and I'm currently on chapter 10 of Actions Speak Louder than Words (which I've been putting off bc of it's length) and I just wanted to say that you're writing is absolutely phenomenal! Once I'm done with ASLtW, I'm going to go through the rest of your works and figure out which ones I have and haven't read already. Thank you for putting something so great into the fandom!! 💕

Thank you so much Anon ;~; This is seriously so sweet, I really appreciate this! And I’m so glad you’re enjoying Actions, I know it’s a bit of a monster, but I have no chill |D (Y’all should see my work emails, you’d think I got paid by the word pfft... I mean, I’d be rich, so that’d be nice, but alas...). 

Seriously, thank you so much, this is so sweet and I’m really happy to know you like it 💖 I hope you enjoy anything else you might find, but even if you don’t see anything else of interest, that’s totally okay, I still love and appreciate you for the support, thank you <3<3<3<3<3

[so-caffeinated]

I recently rediscovered Actions Speak Louder Than Words ... I read it when you first wrote it but I honestly had forgotten most of it. What a fun re-read. Throughout your writing, what do you feel has changed the most in your writing style or how you write or how you accomplish writing goals etc (good or bad)?

Thank you! I’m glad it held up and you enjoyed it all over again! I feel like my writing has changed a lot since then. I definitely try to paint a scene more visually, delve into details more. My reliance on dialogue was heavier back then (though that’s surely still my focus now, too). My approach is mostly the same - sit and write, don’t allow yourself excuses, set and meet goals, forgive slip-ups. I’ve gotten better at deleting scenes that need to be cut (my first draft of ASLtW had a totally different scene of the sparring between Oliver and Sara and it didn’t work at all. It was choppy and forced. I moped for like a week after a friend proofing it told me I needed to rewrite it). 

Overall, I think my approach is the same, but it felt like I finally found my narrative voice with ASLtW and that’s something that’s grown and carried me through as I’ve gone forward. Great question.

[smillstiks]

Do you have any idea who Tea Time was before appearing in the mansion? Who was he?

I know very well how Chris died, I can assume that ASLTW died by hanging and may have been mute because her mouth is tied.

But what about Tea Time? I can't come up with AY for him and draw it, because I don't know anything about him.

If Ghost said anything about it, please share the information. Or how do you imagine your appearance in the mansion?

I want to draw him the same way as ASLTW, but I need references to his past

They all gathered in the lounge room. Omaha, Rooster and Payback all gathered around the foosball table. Halo and Coyote were sat on the couch. Fritz had gone to talk to someone about a problem with his helmet. Fanboy was up by the radio getting it turned on so they could listen to the members of the team up in the sky. Mute and Ramble made their way into the room. Setting down the tubs of cookies on the counter. 

The taller of the pair walked to the foosball table asking if they needed another player which they quickly agreed. Payback claiming him for his team immediately. Mute started to work around the room looking at all the stuff on the walls. 

Fanboy watched her slow walking hands clasped behind her back. He decided now would be the best time to go and talk to her. As he stood up he heard the first signs of the 3 planes in the sky through the radio which had the room getting quieter and the redhead walking her way over to the other side of the counter. She wanted to make sure she got all the information she needed so she wasn’t caught off guard when it was her and Rambles turn. 

They listened to the radio on either side of the counter. Some of the pilots had come up and grabbed a cookie or two of their choice. Complimenting the pair on how good they were. Which made Mute give them a curt nod and Ramble give them a dramatic thank you. Fritz had walked back in at some point. Hangman had been beaten when he had gotten cocky and accidentally gave Maverick the upper hand. Phoenix and Bob had gotten close until Mav pulled a stealth move on them. Then Maverick was ordering the pilots to the tarmac for their push ups. 

At the sound of Maverick ordering the push ups Ramble spoke up. “What push ups is he talking about?” Rooster snorted at that, pointing his thumb at Fanboy. “The first day here this one and his front seater made a bet with the old man that whoever lost would have to do 200 push ups. For some reason the bet is still ongoing. He might not make you guys do it though since you're new and don’t know the exercise like we do.” Mute had looked at Fanboy at that comment. He blushed and shrugged his shoulders feeling guilty. He had expected her to say something with the what the fuck look in her eyes but she remand silent. Then they heard Maverick calling up Fanboy, Payback and Fritz to the sky. 

Fanboy walked out of the room disappointed he hadn’t gotten the chance to talk to the front seater. Payback waited till they got to the locker room to comment on his sour mood. In which Fanboy shrugged him off not wanting to admit he already had feelings for the new front seater. 

✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻

Back in the lounge the group was smaller. It was just Rooster and Ramble at the foosball table. Halo and Coyote had pulled out a deck of cards which brought Omaha in as he liked the game they decided on. Mute sat alone at the counter listening for the next group to go up. She had grabbed a chocolate chip cookie taking small bites eyes scanning over the group of aviators. She liked the group so far and thought they were friendly and warm. Her mind wandered to the wisso who had sat on the opposite side of the counter just 15 minutes earlier when she heard his voice come through the radio. 

She sat up straighter wanting to see how him and his front seater worked together. Ramble had been glancing at her at that moment. Noticing the way she seemed eager at the sound of the wissos voice. He made sure to catalog that away for the car ride home. He hadn’t seen her interested in anyone in years. She was always focused on work. He had been with a couple of people during the expanse of their friendship but she hadn’t been with anyone other than her ex boyfriend from the academy. Which had been a barely six month long relationship. She had been single and content since then.

He was happy to see her showing interest in someone. He just hoped that it wasn’t one sided. He knew she wouldn’t take the rejection well. His thoughts were cut off at the sound of Maverick locking onto the double seater jet. Then the single seater quickly after. The three of them grumbling over the fact they would have to do push ups. 

Then Maverick was calling up Coyote, Omaha and Halo. As he finished his order Hangman, Phoenix and Bob all walked into the room passing the other three. Hangman took a seat on the empty couch grabbing the remote to turn the tv on. Phoenix joined Rooster and Ramble, deciding to watch the boys play. While Bob made his way to the counter in Fanboys previous spot grabbing a couple cookies for himself giving Mute a quick nod and smile which she returned. 

Mute wandered to the window looking down at the hot tarmac where she saw Fritz, Payback and Fanboy all doing their push ups. Even from up here she could see the muscles in Fanboys arms and back working to push him up and bring him back down. She knew she was already in deep with the way her knees grew a little weak at the sight. She hadn’t even realized the other team had started until she heard Omaha letting out a “damn it” followed by Coyote getting targeted as well. She turned to Ramble who was already looking at her knowing it was going to be their turn now. 

They were both nervous as their names were called along with Rooster. They had heard great things about Rooster and how he was a good team player. That made the pair feel a bit more at ease, knowing they had a wingman that would have their back. Phoenix was wishing them good luck on their way out. 

✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻

Down on the tarmac Mute, Ramble and Rooster were making their ways to their jets. They had quickly discussed a few maneuvers and tricks to watch out for with Maverick. They passed by Fritz, Payback and Fanboy who had completed their push ups. Fanboy made eye contact with Mute both of them quickly looking away. 

After doing a preflight check the duo fist bumped quickly uttering the words “Cammineremo” and “Saremo Potenti” to each other. Then they were climbing into their respective seats. The canopy closing over them. They checked in with the tower and then Rooster. Then both of them were taking off to the sky to find Maverick. 

It didn’t take long for Maverick to pipe up “I know that we have two newbies with us today but I just wanted to let you know I’m not going to take it easy on you and that the push up bet stands with you both as well. We’re also going to mix it up today and Mute and Ramble will be lead this run.”

“I wouldn’t expect anything less from the infamous Pete Mitchell. Let’s see what we can do.” Mute spoke up, becoming only the third time the group heard her talk. Maverick and Rooster were surprised with her joking tone. Maverick let out a hearty laugh with a “Let’s see it then.”

“If you manage to get a lock on Maverick I’ll buy you guys drinks all night at The Hard Deck tonight.” Rooster rumbled a smile in his voice. 

“What the hell is The Hard Deck?” Ramble asked him. 

“It’s the local bar we all frequent. Maverick knows the owner pretty well.” Maverick chimed in at that “Rooster the owner is my Fiancé of course I know her. Now let’s turn and burn.” He said as he whipped by them. Mute remained stoic, having expected a silly move like this from the older man. Ramble and Rooster turned serious. They knew they would have to be on their A-Game to beat Mav. They played a little cat and mouse. Maverick would slow down with the pilots about to catch him and then speed up turning and going a different direction. 

“He’s just ahead of us going 450 knots Mute if you speed up 150 knots you’ll get right on his rear. Rooster, if you break left we'll break right.” Ramble spoke clearly. Mute confirmed and sped up Rooster doing the same. Then they were on his rear. Maverick sped up again flying higher and inverting his plane. 

“Speeding up and pursuing. Request Rooster to follow.” Mute said, matching Mavericks speed and getting below him. 

“Right behind you Mute.” Rooster replied, matching her speed quickly. Then it was Rooster above Maverick and Mute and Ramble below him. Maverick was about to slow down and level out until Ramble spoke to Mute “Mute slow down, Rooster stay steady.” Before Rooster or Maverick could react Mute suddenly slowed down. Getting behind Maverick she got a lock on him.

“That’s a kill. Let’s turn around boys, I’ve got some cookies calling my name.” Mute spoke with a calm voice.

“That’s my girl.” Ramble reached one arm forward to lightly tap the side of the front seater's helmet.

“That was a good move, kid.” Maverick said as he and Rooster leveled their planes out. 

“That was some good work and leading both of you!” Rooster said slowing his plane down to be back by the 2 seater giving them a thumbs up. Which only had Mute shaking her head. “Now the old man’s got to do push ups! That hasn’t happened in weeks!” Excitement was clear in his voice. 

“Once we get back to the tarmac you guys go get cleaned up and then head to the lounge room. I’ll go find Hondo about my push ups.” He said with a slight shake of his head and a full smile. “That was some good work Mute and Ramble. I'm impressed.” Maverick finished with admiration in his voice. 

✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻✈️👍🏻

Back in the lounge the room had gone quiet, everyone wanting to hear how the new pilot and her back seater would do. None of them were surprised when Maverick switched them to lead. Fanboy was sitting next to the radio with Bob. The both of them high fiving at the sound of the tone on Maverick. Phoenix and Omaha shared a fist bump. While Payback, Halo and Coyote all shared impressed looks. Fritz and Hangman on the other hand were sitting looking at each other with dumbfounded faces. 

“There is no way they just beat Maverick on their first day here. Let alone their first dogfight here. The old timer has to be losing his game.” Hangman quipped out to the group. That got eye rolls, grunts and shut the fuck up in return. 

“Bagman you know there is no way he’s losing his game with the way he kicked all our asses today. You also know he didn’t take it easy on them either. That’s not his style. Why don’t you just get your head out of your ass and realize they might just be that fucking good. Even better than you.” Fanboy quickly defended the pilot and the wso. Which came as a surprise to the group. They were used to his occasional quip or comment but hadn’t seen him get worked up like this before. Payback knew for certain though that his backseater had a crush on the new pilot. 

“What the hell is your problem man?” Hangman asked Fanboy a sly smirk on his face, realizing he found something that could get under the wissos skin. 

“You’re my fucking problem dude. I’m sick of you always making comments about other people when they do something even remotely better than you. Grow the fuck up man.” Fanboy replied to him fists clenching.

Hangman started to talk again before Phoenix piped up. “Hangman just shut up for once and realize you’re wrong. None of us want to sit here and listen to you have a tantrum.” Then the group grew silent. Deciding to wait for the trio to find their way back to the lounge. Quite chattering slowly building up between some of them as minutes passed.

Fanboy started thinking about Mutes voice, how calm and steady it was, the way she joked with them in the sky. He hoped he would be able to talk to her tonight when the group of them went to The Hard Deck. Then his thoughts ventured to Ramble. The two had seemed pretty close. He started to wonder if they were in fact dating or if they were just really close friends. He would try to figure that out tonight. His mind started wandering again when voices from the hallway became closer to the room. He listened for the sound of Mutes voice but came up empty. He thought that maybe she hadn’t even been with the 2 men. Until they entered the room all of them clad in their Khakis. Mute was stood behind the tall dark haired men. 

She somehow seemed even quieter than she was before going up. But she had a smile on her face which made him hopeful. But as she moved further into the room she stuck close to Ramble. So he worried again, he was sure the two of them had to be together the way she was attached to him. He was broken out of his thoughts again with the cheers of the Squad. They were congratulating the duo. A couple offering to buy them a round another night Rooster wasn’t already paying. 

Ramble was giving out thank yous and hell yes’ and high fives. While Mute stood behind him giving the occasional high five, nod or smile. Fanboy kept his eyes on her and as she looked up she looked right at him. It was so similar to the Tarmac this morning. Except this time it was Mute feeling sick. How was she supposed to coast by in this group if she was already getting feelings for one of them? But how could she help it, he was so attractive and seemed to be pretty laid back. Her thoughts of the wisso were cut off by Ramble smacking her arm. 

“Earth to Mute. Mav texted Rooster and told him we can go ahead and go to The Hard Deck. Are you ready to go?” He asked her with a knowing smile on his face. Her only reply was a quick nod. Then they were all heading out of base. Ramble and Rooster promising to talk about their shared love of Broncos at the bar and which one was better.

My ghost and pals headcanons (hell yeah insert explosion and fireworks in the background as you can hear a tiger roar)

(ps: none of these are canon to Ghost and Pals lore, these are just made from my itty bitty brain cuz I wanna write fanfics) (WARNING: This is mostly Communications and The Distortionist headcanons sue me)

-Christopher and Frances have known each other since childhood. This headcanon was inspired by the canon lore, where Frances was from a very wealthy family, and you can assume Christopher was too since he has a whole mansion. I like headcanoning them as neighbours that couldn't STAND each other. I can imagine Christopher going like "Ewww she has cooties" and Frances pulling on his hair when they were kids

-Continuing that headcanon, I believe Christopher also inspired Frances to be a rebellious teenager, but unlike Frances, Christopher silently rebelled against his family in very subtle ways. (Like for example swearing and the saying "pardon me"), Meanwhile, Frances rebelled with a lot of confidence and pride.

-The Elsners and Pierres were family friends and because of that Frances was supposed to see Christopher a lot.

-Lilia was one of Frances' pals when they were very young, and thus they met Christopher. IK IT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE, BUT HEAR ME OUT ON THE NEXT HEADCANON.

-Lilia is an AFAB nonbinary lesbian (when they reincarnated). However, back when they were alive they were still in the closet (cuz y'know homophobic society), and since back in the day it was seen as scandalous to have male friends as a female, they hung around Frances a lot and one day Frances teased Lilia for some very dumb reason. Christopher was like "Hey, leave them alone!", not because he wanted to protect Lilia necessarily, but because he wanted to make Frances mad.

-And Lilia befriended Christopher but kept their friendship a secret (because society would go wild, SOCIETYYYY)

-Christopher is Aroace (because I am too), and Frances is bisexual aromantic because I said so

-later in life, Christopher was betrothed with some random girl (who soon became ASLTW from The Distortionist canon lore) because his family wanted to marry him off.

-Let's call the girl Marigold (because I like that name). Marigold liked Christopher A LOT and trusted him, thinking he's like a prince charming due to his "gentle tone of voice" and acting like a gentleman in general (When in fact, Christopher was just pretending to be a gentleman, since he was used to always pretending)

-but Christopher realized something because of her "goo-goo eyes" whenever she interacted with him. He realized he could easily manipulate her.

-And so Christopher started manipulating everyone around him. His siren-like voice worked on many, except for Frances cuz she was smart enough to realize that he was manipulative, and since she didn't like him in the first place, she began ghosting him, leaving Lilia all alone with him.

-Christopher immediately started realizing how bad it'd be for him to be left all alone, and since Frances was the first to leave, he decided to make a suicide pact with Lilia and Marigold, right after he managed to poison everyone in the Pierre mansion as Christopher was scared of his plan failing.

-After they gone oof-ed (literally), Lilia was the only one to survive. Due to how traumatic that event would be, they moved to another state and most likely changed their name. What they didn't know was that they'd return back after they reincarnated.

-Ok enough with Christopher, now let's move on to Frances. Frances never knew what happened to Christopher as she immediately left her family home after becoming an adult, became a party animal, had fun, then nine months later Henry was born.

I might make a part 2 soon so watch out for that hehehhe

[tekidoll]

no it's like an abbreviation!! the full name is Actions Speak Louder Than Words it's just easier to say asltw😼😼 /lh

Recently learned Crispy’s canon lore.

whack.

but this just makes me love him more bc the more whack a character is the cooler they are.

sorry it took me so long to respond to this 😭😭

but yeah his lore is pretty interesting and its too bad we never really got to know too much about it

but i especially wanna know more about the other side characters like asltw and lilia and teatime and stuff since we know even less about them

hi! this is the anon that's reading ASLTW for the 7th time, and I have a question ? It's fine if you don't answer I'm suddenly starting to realize I should be leaving ASLTW comments instead of you asks. On the end of chapter 8, The Witch and The Alpha, when they're just getting back from first training with Satomi, I noticed the loft bathroom isn't latching ? Stiles keeps letting it slide. I feel dense but what's the reason for that? Thanks, sorry I'll start leaving my love for comments! xoxo

I still can’t believe you’re reading it for the SEVENTH TIME! I read it like, 3 times to edit it and that was enough for me lol. But thank you for liking it enough to deem it worthy of that many re-reads (please excuse the typos, I have no beta and can only re-read things so many times |D lol) 

I have to wrack my terrible, horrible, AWFUL memory for that, but if I’m not wrong they’re already doing the bed-sharing-body-heat thing by then, right? -squints- I think that was meant to be like, the show of their level of comfort with one another going up where if Stiles goes to shower or use the bathroom or whatever and the door doesn’t shut, no big deal, it’s just Derek. 

Like, the beginning parts where that was happening wasn’t by choice for Stiles, it was Derek being overprotective, so it was meant to show the subtle shift of “This guy, I swear to God!” to “Oh well, nothing he hasn’t seen before” kind of thing.

I think. If it’s the part I am thinking of. You ask difficult questions, I am but a poor, terrible-memoried person over here! lololol <3<3
