#Code & Theory

[respectthepetty]

For a show that is so simple as Live in Love, I sure do have a lot of wild ass theories about these color-coded folks (in love?) after only two episodes.

First Theory: Boss Likes Kla

Kla, the main character, is a Blue Boy.

And last week, the series showed that Kla seemed to have had a crush on his friend Boss in high school, so when they met in the present, it was awkward, but Boss is now dating the female friend he liked from before, so . . . why does Boss have blue over his heart when he meets Kla again, ALONE, and offers him a job?

Sus, Boss!

Second Theory: GL Sides

Cake, the main love interest, is a Pink Person.

He has a lovely family comprised of a color-coded brother, an adorable mom, and the dad from the Thai Addicted Heroin.

Kla likes this Pink Person.

He likes him so much that he wasn't even terrified of Cake showing up to the live looking like this.

And he gets jealous when Cake goes out with his friends since he knows Cake is so adorable and will catch all the attention.

Because Kla wants to eat Cake.

Which is why Khing tries to be like Cake.

She wears pink.

And she makes treats for Kla.

But because I want a GL side couple, I think Khing doesn't go well with Kla since she isn't really a Pink Person.

Because, often, she seems to actually balance out Gina!

So . . . they're already in bed together. How much effort would it be to kiss?

Third Theory: Tim & Amp

Cake's little brother, Tim, is a Green Guy.

And he has been shown to be kinda . . . rude. Even when Gam was having a crisis in his house about his feelings for Pon, Tim basically told him to get over it and (appropriately) believed eating would be the remedy.

So although he should be a chill guy, he has shown he has some aggression in him, which could be why the red appears with the green on him.

Like even his sweater with "Pancakes" written on it in green has red text underneath it.

But maybe the red isn't just for him, but for the Red Rascal who he is supposed to berate for hassling his brother then eventually fall in love with!

Tim already bumped into Amp at orientation when Tim made Amp apologize to him, so give me this couple where the smaller one is the mean one and the taller one is the gentle one RIGHT NOW!

Not a Theory: I hate the live streams!

I like Gam and Pon, and I like that they showed up together in Kla's dream.

So when Pon showed up in real life with Dol, I was kinda pissed!

Because even if Yellow Yal Dol is there, Orange Oddity Pon must always have Cyan Cutie Gam (thanks @twig-tea) by his side like the fairy godparents they are.

And Pon finds all these small ways to constantly touch Gam and be near him.

So I thought it was hilarious that Kla consistently called out his friend for being oblivious.

And both Cake and Kla talked smack about Pon being ridiculous (because couples who gossip together, stay together).

So I was thrilled when Pon started getting jealous that Gam's entire existence doesn't revolve around him.

And I was even more excited that Pon lost his color while Gam lost his temper!

But I hated that Pon decided to start his confession ON A LIVE STREAM!

I know the name of this show, so I know I'll continue to get live streams, but if Cake and Kla's first encounter IRL is magically live streamed next week, I'm gonna riot!

Put the phones and musical instruments down!

WILL’S “RUN” THEORY - BYLER

I literally came up with this on the bus this morning 😀👍

Mike & The Upside Down

Mike is the only person in the entire main party that hasn’t been to the Upside Down yet. The only times he really experienced things from the Upside Down were in ST1 when he (briefly) encounters the demogorgon, ST2 when Will was possessed (I will come back to this) and when Bob was attacked, the mind flayer & flayed in ST3 (he was hiding from it a majority of the time — not including Billy), and the very end of ST4 when the particles start appearing (which Mike doesn’t know about). So he is COMPLETELY CLUELESS when it comes to actually being in UD.

Side Note: This also shows just how brave he had to be to protect the younger kids (Holly’s friends?) in the teaser when he has zero idea how to handle the UD, and I think that could be suggesting possible character development for Mike in ST5.

Will & The Upside Down

Will was trapped in the Upside Down in ST1, but never goes back to the UD at all after that, only experiencing the same monsters Mike did. After the mind flayer was released from Will, he still has that “neck tingle” whenever anything from the UD came near him, which has a similar feeling to what Will felt when he was possessed, saying that the sense makes him feel like he’s unable to move. This feeling gets triggered by the smallest things, like flayed rats being within a 20-foot radius of him. In the end of ST4, Will gets that same tingle from the open gate, which was very far from when he was (I think Hopper’s house?). We have no clue how Will’s senses would react when being SURROUNDED by UD matter, but we can assume it would be extreme, and if this sense feels like possession, that could mean that it is the sprouts of possession. Amping this “sprouting possession” up by basically being in the UD could be the cause of Will becoming possessed, hence his blood-curdling scream in the ST5 teaser.

Side Note: In ST2, this sense also happened to Will when he was possessed, like when he tried getting in a warm bath. In this scene, he reaches to his neck (the sense), before telling Joyce in a strangely demanding way that “he likes it cold.” This demonstrates that the sense isn’t just a warning that the UD is back, but a signification of Vecna’s control over Will, and an activation of the “fight, flight, or freeze” instinct.

What is known by Mike & Will about the possession

Will knows almost everything about it, since he experienced it before, including the fact that when someone’s fully possessed, they will end up attacking the person closest to them (like Will and Billy), no matter who they are. He has experienced it all, meaning he also knows what it feels like when he’s becoming fully possessed.

Meanwhile, Mike only knows what he’s seen. Being in the hospital with Will in ST2 showed him that when the host is being controlled, they’ll act very hostile and aggressive, and they lie to others to keep Vecna’s secrets secured.

Will’s Scream

I’ve seen many theories about it, but there are two that I’m using to support me in this theory. 1) When Will yells “RUN,” that’s actually him and not his possessor. It’s shown in ST2 that Will can communicate and process when he is possessed unless he’s being fully controlled, like when he uses Morse code to send a message to the party, and how his expression would momentarily soften when the party was talking about memories with him. So in Will’s teaser scene, he’s actually telling them to run, the “angry” look on his face caused by how hard it is for him to do when Vecna is taking control of him. And 2) Will is specifically speaking to Mike, which was apparently found from leaked information of ST5. I don’t have much information on this second mini-theory to prove that it’s actually true, but just bear with me here, I’m trusting the Tumblr byler community.

The Actual Theory (Finally)

With all the previous information in mind, this is how I think the actual scenario will go. When UD’s demons are released into Hawkins, Will ends up getting possessed due to his connection with Vecna. Mike wants to stay by Will’s side, just like he did in ST2, since him and Will need to “work together” as best friends, no matter what happens next (ST4 bedroom scene), but Will, knowing that he will end up attacking anyone near him, gathers his courage and yells for Mike to run, no matter how hard it is to do for him under Vecna’s control. Mike recognizes this as the mind flayer lying for its own benefit, which helps him decide that he’s not running.

Depending on how the situation goes, Will could end up unintentionally hurting Mike — which is what I think might happen — or something completely different, I’m not sure. I also had an idea that Mike ends up confessing to Will about his feelings, which breaks Will out of his possession, but I really don’t have any proof towards it — I literally came up with it on a whim thinking it would be cool.

I hope you guys liked that, and sorry for all the reading — it literally took me an hour and a half to write this whole thing. If you guys have any thoughts on this, please tell me! Have a great day ❤️

TL;DR : BYLERRRRR- 🎀✨🦅

What do you think of Chatgpt? Here's a link that explains how it's generated and it's limitations. I like it for some things, it's like a group think but nothing replaces all of us OGs who have sat through the Lukola saga and understand the nuances of being there.

https://guides.library.txstate.edu/c.php?g=1321038&p=9718369#:~:text=to%20human%20conversation.-,How%20does%20chat%20GPT%20work?,describe%20them%20in%20natural%20language.

Well, there's a reason robots haven't replaced humans yet lol. Nothing can substitute for the human experience. I saw a Chapgpt on Lukola using A for PR and it didn't allow for two truths - like using her to divert attention (like when N gave birth to BN) since Luke had to do the NDA obligations anyway. Or N's PR team posting on Polin day and using a Lukola coded pic; Netflix Queue used a WT pic. so why not use that to their advantage? It's killing two birds w/ one stone or for A, making lemonade out of lemons.

So, I use it as additional support for a theory or Ask but not as my primary source of info. My primary source is all the critical thinking I've done w/ my partner and all the other Lukola OGs over the past year. Indeed, Anon, nothing can replace that! 🙌

[lover-of-mine]

Yk, something about my Eddie fell first essay, I never really went like "oh this is something that could be proven right by canon" mostly because when I wrote that I was still dealing with buddie being a distant possibility not something that's so close I can taste, but then Ryan was let out of interview jail. Then I went full conspiracy theorist. (Please note everything from here on out is a conspiracy theory that will most likely never be confirmed or denied so I'll live in it forever) I had made the post about how I think Ryan is playing Eddie as in love with Buck, the question was whether he was being told to do that or he was just playing it up as much as they allowed him to because we know Ryan supports the ship, and then Ryan said the "this goes beyond friendship and I love you to the core" thing.

He said he talked to someone about what it meant for Eddie to do that, because he didn't understand it at first, and then that's the conclusion he reached. But the thing is, that line "I love you to the core" specifically means so much in the context of the season, to say I love you to Buck like that in season 4 is so MONUMENTAL, that I wanna believe one of the writers straight up told him "yo this is a love confession" and explained it to him like that, and he has been playing Eddie with that line in mind ever since, and that's why he had that locked and loaded for the interview. Because, like, I, in my most normal day, am out here arguing they casted Ryan with a plan, even more considering the way Eddie was written for Ryan, they could very much have told him "look, play with the chemistry you and Oliver have, if the audience likes with might amp it up, if we're lucky we might go there someday" because you have moments in season 2, but season 2 is still very low stakes, but then when I think about the the season 3 of it all, the there's nobody in this world I trust with my son more than you, the lawsuit, and well of it all and the way they put Ryan in pr jail after Eddie begins, an episode that would retroactively be HUGE for buddie but it's pretty big for them anyway, I'm like 🤔 because we all saw Ryan talking about buddie this past month, the guy CANT SHUT UP, and if he was told something during season 3 or 4 along the line of "play it up, we are gonna fight to make this happen", putting him in pr jail would make sense, because they can't risk him saying something if they're not sure they can deliver, because how fast they dealt with Buck being bi while in a new network makes me convinced someone on fox was blocking it and nothing will convince me otherwise. But now they can, so they let Ryan run free. Because you can make a VERY strong argument that Eddie is aware of something during season 5 and 6, season 6 most of all, but you can very much make season 5 queer coded and have Eddie be like "oh I can't ignore how I feel about him anymore", because Ryan also said something about Eddie's breakdown and how that's what allowed Eddie to let Buck "know who Eddie truly is" which is interesting with the way Eddie is constructed, because if Buck is inside the last wall Eddie had up, what's actually stopping Eddie to see he's in love with Buck by the end of the season? Which would make season 6 as a pining season for Eddie make sense. Down to the way the cemetery seems to be pulling these very specific reactions from Eddie that are the same reactions we saw him have in breakups and flights with Shannon. But also things like Eddie's reaction to the lightning being something we never saw from Eddie before AND the way Oliver talked about a scene of Eddie losing his composure during in another life, not during in a flash that we didn't get to see most likely because they completely rearranged 6b because they thought they were gonna get cancelled, so they wouldn't be able to deliver what they had in mind. But now they have nothing but time, season 8 is already confirmed, and by the looks of it abc was like "go for it" with buddie in a way that fox never was, so they finally got to tell Ryan "we're doing it, go crazy" and now we are here. They could prove me right today. About Eddie not about Ryan knowing and some secret plan being in place forever. I don't think it's gonna happen. I seriously don't think it's gonna happen. I'd be more surprised to be proved right than wrong here. But the conspiracy theory is a possibility that felt very real for a second there during promo season lol

It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.

LoneSurvivor/My Gorram Ship on Ao3

37 year old AuDHD Microbiology undergrad (due to graduate this year), residing in England and attempting to raise three daughters single handledly.

I like to use my knowledge of science and random past hyper focuses to either twist Mass Effect canon or completely smash it, depending on my mood.

Current WIP: ME3 and beyond, in which my most monstrous headcanon plays a huge role. Oh, and Shenko have a baby.

Since the accidental discovery of Deinococcus radiodurans forming a symbiotic relationship with the eezo deep in the mines of Omega, Project Lazarus grew in scope. First, it negated the need for an implant or an amp, infusing each cell with biotic power.

But it could do so much more, and without imagination, intelligence was useless. Fortunately, Lawson’s father designed her with an abundance of both, so the swarming mass she called a nano-assembly inspired rather than intimidated.

She manufactured a considerable amount of stock to stimulate evolutionary change via parasitism and symbiosis, two cornerstones of evolutionary change. It incorporated more and more of the subject’s DNA with each generation, failing more than she succeeded. But no matter; that was to be expected, and each attempt provided more insight.

The Illusive Man’s primary objective for this project was to create something that could repair and regenerate itself both upon immediate, minor injury and some hours later in the event of catastrophic injury. Something that could, in theory, survive the vacuum of space if it should happen again.

After completing the retinal scan, the door opened. Her heels clacked as she crossed the room and removed the tray of cell cultures from the incubator, placing them under the microscope. This part she worked on alone, long after the multi-level lab fell quiet and no longer bustled with the staff of Project Lazarus. Because her boss was slowly losing the ability to listen to reason, this part must remain secret.

Intelligent enough to fear her creation, the most crucial aspect of this, for Lawson, involved the subject being immune to indoctrination, which meant including just enough fragments of Reaper code scattered along the DNA to ensure that any artefact, or any other horror they had not yet discovered, would recognise the subject as self.

Her hands trembled as she re-checked the data not once, not twice, but thrice, before asking EDI to check again, then became engrossed in reviewing the most recent data from the wake-up cycles of the subject, scrutinising for any indications of neurological deterioration. There were none, which led her to the next task - producing the thick, metallic fluid.

"I’m sorry, Shepard," she murmured, taken aback as she realised it was the first time she had addressed the subject by name. She then proceeded to load the substance into the nano syringes.

Event Horizons or Holograms

Black-hole physics has become the perfidious decoder ring we slip into the machinery of spacetime itself. Hawking’s semiclassical calculation told us that an event horizon is not a shut door but a slow leak—thermal Hawking radiation. The cost of that leak, if naïvely computed, is erasure of quantum information. Recent work—Page-curve reconstructions via “islands,” Pennington’s entanglement-wedge sleight-of-hand, and toy wormholes coaxed out of Google’s Sycamore chip—shows that the leak is actually steganography. Information rides out encrypted in the radiation stream, rescuing unitarity, but only if we abandon the notion that spacetime is primordial.

Method

Start with Einstein’s field equations in their classical regalia; they predict a smooth event horizon and a singular terminus—time’s cliff edge.

Stitch in quantum field theory on that curved background: Hawking’s calculation begets a black-body spectrum, thermal and information-free.

Introduce quantum entanglement as geometry (ER = EPR). In this “holographic” transcription, the event horizon becomes a two-dimensional ledger whose Plank-scale pixels bookkeeping every qubit that falls in. SCIRP

Apply the island rule: beyond Page time (~half the life of the hole) the entanglement wedge surrounding the Hawking radiation secretly annexes a slice of the black-hole interior. The radiation’s von-Neumann entropy then bends downward, sketching the predicted Page curve and evading paradox. arXiv

Findings

Complementarity bifurcates perspective. To a free-falling astronaut, nothing special happens at the horizon; to a distant observer, infalling matter is red-shifted, time-dilated, and apparently incinerated in a Planck-hot photosphere. Both stories are self-consistent but mutually inaccessible—an epistemic firewall. SCIRP

Firewalls remain on probation. The AMPS argument insists that purity of Hawking radiation plus monogamy of entanglement ruptures the equivalence principle, searing late-time infallers. Counter-work with quantum extremal surfaces softens that verdict but has not closed the case. Physics Stack Exchange

Emergent spacetime is computational. The same tensor-network diagrams that optimize quantum-error correction double as toy universes whose geometry springs from entanglement graphs. The “wormhole” simulated on Sycamore is less a traversable subway and more a proof that cubits can mint geometry on demand. Quanta Magazine

Counterpoints & Open Fronts

Island prescriptions triumph in 2-D dilaton gravity and AdS boxes; extending them to astrophysical, asymptotically flat collapsars is ongoing.

No-cloning theorems forbid Xeroxing you at the horizon, yet Page-curve unitarity forces a functional coding of your quantum state on the boundary. Resolving that tension may demand a non-perturbative definition of quantum gravity—or a pragmatic embrace of “observer-relative reality.”

The cosmological horizon of Λ-driven expansion hints at a global hologram, but de Sitter space lacks a sharp boundary, so any CFT dual remains a rumor in need of mathematics.

Implications Black-hole thermodynamics now fuels quantum-information engineering: error-correcting codes look like discretized bulk gravity; entanglement distillation mirrors holographic renormalization

Chattering No Crank Charger

This brand new, mango-colored 2023 Charger with only 19 miles on it presented originally as a dead battery. The dealership jumped the battery, the vehicle started and ran for a couple of seconds, died, and then would not crank at all. We noticed that anytime the 12 V battery was disconnected and reconnected (a "12 V reset"), we would get one more successful crank and start, followed by a stall after a couple seconds. This is referred to as a "skim out"--it is a result of the immobilizer --aka IMMO-- modules (PCM, RFH, BCM) seeing something wrong. Then it would not crank at all until another 12 V reset. There was a plethora of codes popping up, but the main three were:

U1514-87 Engine Controller Secret Code-Missing Message

U0401-00 Implausible Data Received from ECM/PCM

U11C2 Implausible/Missing Transmission Message

The running theory by the time I got involved was that something had gone wrong when it was jump-started. The dealer had replaced all IMMO modules, but nothing had changed. To make matters more complicated, the dealership had had a break in around the time that this happened, and other vehicles in the same showroom had been tampered with. Was it possible that had something to do with this? My initial visit, I worked with engineering to check the programming status of the PCM, and take bus logs of an attempted start event. Everything there checked out. What ultimately got me on the right track was the observation on my second visit that the vehicle would not go to sleep. My perspective shifted at that point; now, I began to suspect the need to jump start was a result of the issue, and not the cause of it. Ultimately, I started pulling fuses from the fuse box under the hood (Power Distribution Center / PDC ). After I pulled a fuse, I would watch the cluster for a little while to see if it would go to sleep.

Finally, with fuse 18 removed, the cluster went to sleep. I checked what component(s) the fuse was for, and found it was for the radiator fans. At this point, I attempted to start the vehicle and it fired right up!

At this point it seemed likely there was some kind of short keeping the PCM awake. To try and narrow down where in the circuit this short was, we put fuse 18 back in, and then removed each radiator fan relay one at a time. There were three relays in the circuit. Removing fan relay 3 had the same effect as removing fuse 18: the vehicle would go to sleep, and the vehicle would start and run normally. It was a relative short harness, and was completely visible, so we inspected for any visible harness damage at this point. Nothing stood out. It was at this point I tried swapping Fan Relay 3 with Fan Relay 2; we were suspicious of the PDC by now, but I wanted to rule out the relays. Some interesting things happened at this point. First, I noticed when moving the relays around that, while Fan Relay 3 would chatter going in and out of its home slot, Fan Relay 2 did not make the same noise going into relay 3's spot.

Second, I observed the vehicle went to sleep normally with the relays swapped, but when I went to crank the vehicle, I suddenly had a No Crank No Start condition again. BUT. The vehicle would go to sleep normally. So this wasn't a reoccurrence of the original issue--what was going on?

Well, it turns out the run/start 10 amp fuse (F37) was now blown.

At the time, I wasn't sure exactly when that had happened, and I wasn't confident it had anything to do with the relays. To avoid blowing any more fuses, I put the relays back in their original spots and did not repeat the test. The dealership looked up what would be involved in a replacement PDC, and it was only available with the harnesses.

I couldn't shake my suspicion around the relay, even though I had bench tested it and didn't find anything obvious, so I recommended they try a new relay first before committing to a PDC. Heard back from the dealer early the next week: the new relay fixed it. They went ahead and cracked open the old relay, and suddenly everything came together.

As you can see, the relay had basically welded itself internally, creating a direct path for current to go from one end of the switch to one end of the coil. In the Fan #3 spot, this gave B+ a direct path to the PCM (via N112) even while the vehicle was off. This was keeping the PCM awake at all times, which was the cause of all the IMMO issues that were preventing the vehicle from starting.

When I moved the bad relay into the Fan #2 spot and attempted to start the vehicle, the welded pins created a dead short (from F914 to N210) on the run/start circuit, instantly blowing Fuse 37.

1986.

in no world would penny ever go to a school dance with eddie. 

that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want him to ask. 

of course, him asking her out would mean they’d have to speak to each other. which they don’t do anymore. not really. not in the same way. not since new year’s eve. to his credit, he’s tried. offered her rides in the morning, offered to get them pizza, asked if she needed help with her dad (which she will have to take him up on eventually, she’s dreading that deal already). all attempts get shut down if not blatantly ignored. she’s the one avoiding him. she’s not even playing their stupid hallway game of snapping insults at each other in passing, secretly smirking at each other before looking away for the last time. no need to amp up the animosity to keep up appearances when there’s no friendship to hide. 

she thinks that was when he took the hint. realized she was truly mad at him. when he tossed a harmless insult her way in the cafeteria and she glanced at him, just long enough to let it be known she’d heard them, and kept walking. a blank face, ponytail swaying behind her, one of the other cheerleaders calling him grody on her behalf. 

it’s not easy. the rejection stung but she’s only making it hurt worse by dropping him completely, but what else can she do? stay friends with a boy too stupid to want her back? she doesn’t associate with idiots. but god if it hasn’t been the hardest month and a half she’s had lately. it doesn’t compare to the pain of losing her mom years prior, or worrying about her dad, but it’s different. it’s weird. mourning someone that she has to see every single day. 

mourning something that, in theory, she could have back. he clearly wants that, the way he still hasn’t given up proves it, which validates her in a way. but she has too much pride to settle for friendship when she wants more, especially when he knows now. that’d be humiliating. she can’t take back that stupid - dizzying - kiss and she can’t go back to being his friend.

what she can do? make him miserably jealous until he comes to his senses.

in an ideal world, eddie would take her to this stupid dance. but even if that new year’s eve party had gone better, she’s not sure that’d be able to happen. they’d still have reputations, after all. not that it matters now. 

the point being, she likes the thought of it. him twirling her around a sparkling dance floor, telling her how beautiful she looks in her dress, forced to listen to music that’s actually good? a dream. one she’s been having since… well, before last year's valentine’s dance, because she’d turned down every guy that asked her. she hadn’t even accepted it fully yet, that she had a crush on this nerd next door, but she knew that she hadn’t wanted to spend the entire night with some boring jock when she could just dance with her friends, leave early, and end the evening on her porch with eddie and candy. which was exactly what she’d done.

since she can’t have the dream or a repeat of last year’s reality, she’ll settle. big time. 

tommy k is the first guy to ask her, two weeks before the dance. a swimmer. cute enough. used to date one of the other cheerleaders though, and penny may be a bitch, but she’s a bitch who respects girl code. so it’s a no. 

there’s a few more guys after him, some more viable options than others. all obnoxious in their own ways, their biggest collective flaw being that none of them are eddie. she shuts most of them down, but gives a couple maybe’s. in case it only gets worse from here. 

she has no front-runner in particular, two or three guys maybe, until the choice is all but made for her, because dani brings him up right in front of eddie. they’re in english - penny’s first time in senior english, eddie’s… eighth or whatever at this point. no assigned seats but her and dani end up near him on this day. dani in the seat right in front of him, penny to her left. she feels his eyes on her as she sits and her face burns. 

she’s re-applying her lip gloss when dani whispers. “did tommy ask you yet?” 

penny’s nose wrinkles. “tommy k? yeah, i told him it was bogus to ask me out when he knows i’m friends with shannon. as if i don’t know he cheated on her? loser.” 

“ew, not tommy k. tommy z.” 

her brows raise, slowly putting her lip gloss applicator back into the sparkly pink tube. she turns her body to face dani more. a bonus that she can now see eddie out of the corner of his eye, pretending he’s not listening. 

“football tommy z?” penny gasps. “did nicholas say he was going to ask me?” 

tommy z isn’t perfect. he, too, lacks her ideal quality which is being eddie, but for appearances? he’s the best choice. an actual decent guy, carefree and funny and not annoying to sit with at lunch sometimes or drink with at parties, hasn’t dated any of the cheerleaders so there’s no drama there. they all giggle about how hot he is, but no one has an actual claim. they’ll be jealous but can’t be mad - which is a huge bonus to penny. make eddie and her friends jealous? it couldn’t get better. 

well, it could - but it won’t. 

“you haven’t said yes to anyone else, have you?” dani whispers as their teacher finally walks in, hushing them all. 

the classroom chatter falls silent at the perfect time, so there’s no questioning if penny’s response is overheard or not. “nope. there’s no one else i’d rather go with.” 

she flicks her ponytail as she faces ahead in her desk again, smiling to herself. 

he asks. she goes. it’s all… fine. 

she has a nice enough time. tommy is respectful and full of praise. he dances with her, even though she spends most of her time on the dance floor with melinda. he puts in more effort than some guys would, the guys who act too cool for these dances. he pays for her ice cream when they all go out after the dance. gives her his jacket when she complains about it being too cold to enjoy her strawberry cone. 

he offers to drive her home and looks at her like he’s already thinking about that goodnight kiss. she gives him his jacket back and says no, it’s okay, she has her dad’s car. he insists she keeps the jacket but she doesn’t. can’t, because it feels heavy in more ways than one. 

she lets him kiss her cheek outside but pulls away before he can land one on her lips. she refuses to let anyone erase or replace the last kiss she had. what’s the point in kissing him with no audience anyway? she drives home, checks on her dad, gets a jacket of her own, and sits on the porch. alone this time, eating one of the chocolate roses she got via candygram this week. not as good as the heart-shaped cherry suckers from the year before, they soothe her all the same. she stares at the dark square that is eddie’s bedroom window and pouts, because it’s only fitting that the night ends that way, isn’t it? the entire night was about him whether he was there or not. 

she wonders if he even cares, if he thought about her being out with another guy at all that night. maybe he has another person in his room with him, doing things in the dark he never wanted to do with penny. 

she was brave and she reminds herself of that. she tried. she’s still trying now, in her own special maybe mean penny way. but is it really mean? is it mean to make him jealous if he doesn’t want her to begin with? no. it’s not. and even if it is… there’s no room for guilt inside her chest.

[lets-try-some-writing]

I don't know if you still want writing ideas And I pretty much just started following you so I'm not sure what you would want? But I just read your precious "starscream knitts like a madman" post. And the other night I had a dream of Starscream selling plushies(to humans). So my sugestion/2am thought, How would starscream go about "selling" plushies, or whatever stuff he knitted to humans? There is after all, only so many mittens the vehicons can take before they become more mittens then bot.

Yes yes yes and more yes. Such a fun little idea, I will happily write a little headcannon on it for you dear anon!

Starscream's Knitting Business

Starscream is a notorious knitter. Every single bot on the Nemesis has something from him. The Vehicons have coats, mittens, hats, scarves, and every other conceivable form of clothing in abundance. Despite the fact that they don't need them and the cloth only ever gets stuck in their plating, the Vehicons love the clothing. As for high command, they have an equally full wardrobe as well. That is all except Megatron, he can go frag himself in Starscream's opinion.

But as knitting is Starscream's way of working out his anger (and boy does he have a lot of anger) he has quickly run out of things to give to those on the nemesis. And so to find a way to get rid of his completed works and make the event profitable in some way, Starscream has turned to business.

In order to keep a low profile Starscream set himself up a website to sell his knitted masterpieces. It is the most egotistical thing on the internet and he is not at all shy about proclaiming his superiority to his potential customers. Surprisingly, despite his god complex and very obvious aggression, humans flock to his website and before he even realized it he had orders pouring in.

Not one to disappoint, Starscream discreetly began shipping out his finished items in a signature black and red box with no return address. His knitted works quickly rose in popularity due to the mysterious factor involved and Starscream immediately took hold of his new fame to make himself an even bigger icon. Mean little notes and poems were added to his boxes when he sent them out. He also started putting little Cybertronain glyphs on his knitted items, usually somewhere obscure just to increase the mystery factor. And after receiving a ton of positive feedback from humans who found his unique business fun and interesting, Starscream only continued to amp up his personal touch.

Before he knew it, Starscream not only had a profitable business, but a loyal fanbase who were eager to see what other angry notes and knitted things he would make. Some of his most fanatical followers buy things in bulk just because they want to see what little thing he added to his box to make it interesting. Starscream occasionally makes special little boxes with whole poems in Cybertronian or artworks of Cybertron alongside the kitted stuff just for those followers. Because of this, whole conspiracy boards have also popped up surrounding his business, each theorizing who or what he is, where he is from, and what his aim is. Starscream thinks it is hilarious and loves to screw with each and every one of the theorizers by added something ominous to one of his boxes or hinting at his alien nature only to go completely silent on the subject.

His fanbase loves it. By the time his business really gains popularity, no one really buys his boxes because they want some homemade knitted knit knacks. No, they buy his boxes because they want to unravel the mystery that is himself. But unfortunately for the humans, they will never know the truth and Starscream will continue to mess with them for the kick of it.

The biggest running theories created by his fanbase are that Starscream is part of the Illuminati and is trying to run an experiment on manipulating the population. Another is that he is some form of time traveler warning them about what is to come in the future some obscure code and pictures. Some think that he is some sort of secret agent trying to recruit those able to unravel the mystery of his boxes. A few even believe that he is some form of alien trying to integrate into human culture (this one mostly stemmed from his early days on the internet trying to figure out how to act normal).

Starscream thinks they are all hilarious and will do his best to feed the biggest theories every now and then to keep the hype up. He also likes having cash because it means he can buy luxury items from earth and add them to his stash. He is the type of mech to keep nice things and only ever use them to show off. Knockout may be a little jealous of the nice things Starscream accumulates with his wealth but he doesn't voice it.

Extra

Theorist: Guys! I think I have done it! I have unraveled who the person running 'Superior Knitting' is!

Starscream: *snickering* Oh have you now

Theorist: After hours of research and countless hundreds of dollars used to buy Superior Knitting products for analysis, I can proudly say that the mastermind behind it is a Russian spy!

Starscream: *Cackling* Oh Primus that is good!

Starscream: *Furiously typing a new post for his website to partially confirm and contradict the theory* I can't wait to see the chaos!

Arden’s Top Hits of 2020

From the Desk of Bronco

What can you say about this year that hasn't already been said.  What a shit year.  I feel like I've mentally time travelled to this point from March 13th.  Every day is basically the same.  I look forward to the weekend when I can get some things done, and then I don't do them because of the other lame shit that needs to get done gets in the way.  Laundry, cleaning the home/office/school, doing something meaningful with my family, Minecraft with the kids.  Then coffee-o'clock immediately becomes beer-o'clock and wash, rinse, fuck all repeat.  That's how music has felt this year too.  I think since my commute has been removed, there's no real time for just listening.  I listen to it while I work, then worry I'm not getting enough done.  I use it to drown out the "school" shit that's happening in my living room in our tiny house.  It's been a tool instead of a source of enjoyment.  As a result, I mostly enjoyed ambient noise and/or instrumental records this year.  I found a 3-hour youtube video of Tibetan monks chanting the same thing over and over to help me find some focus (it kinda works sometimes).  I played the NIN albums over and over, back to back.  I found a few other droning noise albums from other years that I put on to help me get some shit done.  It's amazing how simple yet complex some of those albums can be.  One of them is two songs, each about 15 minutes long.  There's maybe four layers to it, but it's just sustained droning noise.  Works wonders for when I need to drown out the family and get down to business.  Otherwise, I felt like there were slim pickings this year.  A few bands I like put some stuff out.  None of it revolutionary.  And the rest of the metal scene was brutal death metal or blackened death metal or deathened black metal.  Not the stuff I'm particularly down for, and especially not in line with my brains need for ambient instrumental.  I think, too, the lack of live music removed an integral part of my brain's musical experience.  I think the draw of live music makes the in between personal listening times more meaningful to me, like a promise of "this is what you could see happen in real life when they come to town."  I just hope that when we get through this hulk-sized-fist-fuck of a year, I can rip myself out of this cycle of stationaryism, find some shows to get to, and inject some long missing color back in to my life.  Hopefully we can all get a piece of that back.  Fuck you 2020.

The Consequences of Sound by Acantha_Echo 

Status: Incomplete, Work In Progress

Summary: Anxiety hurts Thomas. It's just what he does, what he has always done. It's not what he wants. He only wants to protect him but that is easier wished for than done. When the opportunity to prove himself opens up to him, he grabs it, for once not caring about the consequences. Things go downhill from there. The fall, rise, fall (and rise again) of Virgil.

Relationships: Prinxiety, Platonic LAMP

CW: Toxic Friendships, Headaches and Migraines, Anxiety Attacks, Manipulation, Depression, Unsympathetic Deceit, Unsympathetic Remus

My thoughts: This fic is So Freaking Good, my friends. It has real estate in at least 86% of my brain. I love going back to reread my favorite parts, and sometimes when I’m rewatching episodes I’ll catch myself thinking of the fic. Right now it’s the Christmas episode bc I’m in big time daydream mode about what the current arc is going to bring. It’s got big Found Family energy, and I eat that stuff right up. It is so heart-warming to watch Virgil grow closer to them. And, yeah, the Prinxiety owns my ass. It is some real Slow Burn shit, and the little glances and soft interactions.... oh goodness. And there’s suspense too, with all the barriers Virgil has built, and the secrets he keeps. For the love of everything, give this fic a try. 

To Build A Home by AValorousChoice

Status: Completed

Summary: "There was a long silence as Virgil processed the words, his eyes darting between the pair of them. “Y-You-” he swallowed heavily. “You want to adopt me?” This was a joke. Surely, it was a joke. Nobody ever wanted him. Nobody had ever shown the slightest bit of interest in adopting him. Virgil never believed he was good enough for a loving family until the day that Patton and Logan walked into the orphanage.

Relationships: Logicality

CW: Child Abuse, Alcohol and Alcoholism, Panic Attacks, Car Accidents, Swearing, Homophobia, Minor Character Death, Animal Abuse, PTSD, Violence, Murder, Attempted Murder

My thoughts: Another Found Family for y’all. So this one is a kid!fic, which I don’t read a lot of, but have found some Really Good ones over the years. I grow really attached to characters when it feels like I’ve watched them grow up. Probably has to do with my love for character development, though not every kid!fic will have that. This one, actually, takes place over the course of less than a year of Virgil’s life after Logan and Patton adopt him. It deals with trauma and finding a place Virgil feels he belongs and is equally full of hope as it is fear. Again, watching Virgil grow close to his family - Patton, Logan, Roman, and some marvelous OCs - is so precious. And shout-out to Roman in this one bc he is the cutest, weirdest freaking kid you will ever read, and I would protect him with my life. The next one in the series is actually all about him and advances forward to when they’re teens (at which point I come across a lot of moments where I’m like “omg they’ve grown so much my heart”).

(i’d never) want once from the cherry tree by ace_corvid 

Status: Completed

Summary: Of all the notable Youtubers active today, none are perhaps as popular as Roman Prince, beauty guru extraordinaire. From small beginnings, rising popularity from his vlogs brought him to the fame he never doubted he’d relish in. But also on the up and up is the conspiracy theory and cryptid lover known by his online alias ‘Virgilant’, who reveals little about his personal life and shies from the spotlight.Despite clashing fandoms and their own preconceptions, they're dragged into a somewhat whirlwind collaboration between channels. Sparks fly, but with Virgil desperately afraid of coming out and pining for his room mate, can anything really happen? With Logan, Patton, Remy and Deceit along for the ride, watch as fear of being who you really are blossoms into something new… With more than a little romance along the way.After all, is there anything more terrifying than showing the world who you are? Alternatively; a meta media fic following the journey of Youtubers, who just so happen to be characters we know and love.

Relationships: Prinxiety, Logicality

CW: Anxiety over Coming Out, Fandom Discourse Commentary

My thoughts: The funniest thing in my GD LIFE. Get this; they’re all in character, but the author has amped up their chaos levels times 100. They are undeniably themselves and it’s to an extreme. I freaking love it. And the multimedia style is so entertaining. It keeps the story at a fast pace and creates a great setting and diverse character interaction. That interaction includes banter and absolutely absurd and relatable content. Everyone’s friendships are undeniable bc they’re constantly roasting one another but you can tell they’d kill for each other. So good. This fic is so good. Please go read.

lavender for luck by lovelylogans

Status: Completed

Summary: Virgil's uncle can cast spells, and read fortunes, and hear houses talk through their noisy creaks. Virgil's father had, too, when he was alive, and their mother before them. Virgil was born with the family's tawny eyes, the family's pale skin, and the family's magic. And the people they fall in love with—or, at least, the ones who love them back—all die, which is why Virgil knows he can never take the chance of having that for himself. A Practical Magic inspired au

Relationships: LAMP

CW: Implied/Referenced Character Death, Parental Death, Spiders, Animal Cruelty, Swearing, Arguing, Physical Confrontation 

My thoughts: Magical realism, secrets, excellent characterization. The border between reality and magic in this AU is seamless. I love the normality of magic in these types of stories, and this one didn’t even have magic as a Thing for most of the world. Magic wasn’t a regular thing, yet the author made it so normal to Virgil’s life... it was phenomenal. And the character interactions... they are so sweet on each other omg. And it isn’t really rushed either. There is time skips, but they don’t break apart the fic too harshly, instead enhancing the time they’ve gotten to know one another. Deceit’s character is so much fun too. He doesn’t take shit, but he also really cares. And the whole uncovering Virgil’s life is so interesting, both what we know and the characters don’t, or stuff we don’t know and Virgil won’t talk about. It creates excellent tension. So I guess I have to go read Practical Magic now (which this fic is based off of) and you have to go read this.

dreams are the second form of reality by Flooftheriver

Status: Incomplete, Work In Progress

Summary: Roman’s creative capabilities stretch further than anywhere any of the sides realise he can go- sometimes even Roman himself. He can craft intricate worlds from nothing, invent people out of mere whispers of an idea, all for the purpose of filling the night with adventure. His dreams are so strong in fact, that they can unknowingly pull others in, bending them to the will of the story he is creating. So what happens when he dreams up a Prince, and finds he needs somebody to play the role?

Relationships: Prinxiety, Logicality

CW: Possible Character Death, Weird Shadow Monsters, Minor Violence, Blood and Violence

My thoughts: So it’s set in canon in place of AA. Which means we get some lovely angst in the form of Virgil thinking everyone hates him. And I’m super stoked to watch him get that Acceptance he deserves. You know what we call that? Growth. Let’s get that character development y’all. For now, however, he’s in Roman’s dreamworld and trying to make sure Roman doesn’t realize it’s actually him or he’ll get kicked out of the best thing in his life. So we have secrets, which creates great tension, and things going... strange in the dreamworld. Also, the Prinxiety is cute as heck - loving that slow burn holy crip - alright go read it.

Queerly Making Do

In Alexander Doty's introduction to "Making Things Perfectly Queer," he introduces a framework for queerness in mass culture that develops in three ways:

(1) influences during the production of texts; (2) historically specific cultural readings and uses of texts by self-identified gays, lesbians, bisexuals, queers; and (3) adopting reception positions that can be considered "queer" in some way...

This framework allows discussions of queer media (and by extension queer media historiographies) to move beyond texts that feature visibly queer characters in order to consider a broader queer corpus. This becomes especially important the further back into history we are studying, as queerness was coded at best and often completely suppressed for much of the 19th and 20th centuries. Even Doty's definition of queerness is expansive, encompassing "any expression that can be marked as contra-, non, or anti-straight." This expansive definition and the inclusion of texts used by queer peoples allows Doty and others to explore the queerness lurking beneath the surface of even the most pedestrian mass media texts.

Eve Ng picks up this expansive definition of queerness and queer media and adds theories about paratexts and cultural context in order to evaluate instances of so-called "queer baiting." Ng argues that the cultural context within which a text is viewed and the official paratexts created by its producers are just important to dicussions of queerbaiting as diegetic text and its corresponding fan reactions. She coins the term queer contextually to refer to "how both the current and previous landscapes of LGBT media narratives informevaluations of particular texts." She contrasts the queer context surrounding shows from different eras, such as fan acceptance of coy sexuality in Xena: Warrior Princess (1995-2001) as compared to accusations of queerbaiting in Rizzoli & Isles (2010-2016). Producer paratexts are just as important to identifying queerbaiting as the social context of the era, according to Ng: "...while being dissonant with actual episodes, these paratexts are nods to fan wishes in teasing what canon could in theory look like."

Brennan sees queerbaiting in general, and slash fiction in particular, as a space for potential "play" within the textual canon for queer fans, a sort of making do that also falls within the second category of Doty's framework. "...For many slash fans," he writes, "any suggestiveness in mainstream texts often serves as fodder for queer, artistic works...and in fact helps define a series as ‘slashable.’" Rather than viewing instances of quashed queer potentiality as baiting, Brennan argues that these moments provide openings for enterprising fan creators to insert their own fantasies into the text. "Further, such conceptualisation of the active viewing process behind the term encourages reconsideration of ‘queerbaiting’ and the more recent shift toward a ‘harm’ view of texts that employ it...These texts, producer intentionality aside, invite viewers to see queerly."

However, in order for the viewer to see queerly, they must have at least some space within the text to read queer desire. Rachel Charlene Lewis has noted multiple examples of queer female content being removed from specific releases of certain texts or played as grotesque jokes in others. She points, in particular, to Delta Air Lines' decision to remove a lesbian sex scene from the film Booksmart, which severly impacts the viewers' understanding of one of the film's two main charcaters. This instance, and others identified by Lewis, contribute to a continuing scaracity of queer representation that reads as honest and uncensored without being a joke. "Whenever I watch a queer film," she writes, "I am simultaneously thrilled at the prospect of ingesting the good queer film I’ve been waiting for, and holding out hope, as many have failed me. So often it feels like to criticize something queer is to indict it..."
