礼仪之丹

Dream I think Dan is not a rude guy, he just believes in violence, in fact, he is very educated… Vlad is a scientist! And Danny is also a very smart kid! A bad temper does not mean stupid 🤔… I watched the animation carefully, and I even felt that he maintained a very strange civilization Oh… I think I need to rethink some of my settings

skull when you say he is not a rude guy, do you think he wouldn't say things like "fuck" or behave like an animal? 🤔 yes… i suppose i have him act a little differently because he's never been beaten so low before and im choosing to interpret dan's depression as something that has chipped away at his intellect as well… perhaps he will behave more like his usual self when he's in a more comfortable situation

Dream No, I'm talking about my own understanding… I thought that maybe talking to Dan rationally could unexpectedly convince him, and maybe he would even be willing to listen🤔

skull oh! i think that's a good idea! 😳

Dream I used to think that when Clockwork tried to reason with him, Dan would say, Get lost, I don't want to listen! But I realized that if I think about it from another perspective, there is another possibility. He would look at Clockwork with contempt, wanting to see what nonsense he could say, and try to discern the sophistry in it and find out where he could fight back?🤔

skull yes… dan could be cunning!!

Dream Maybe he never had the chance to debate with anyone… or maybe his arrogance made it impossible for others to convince him

Dream Yes I mean this！ Because I saw some fan fiction that described Dan as an uncivilized beast… No, actually if you think about it carefully, if you want to rule the ghost world for so many years, wisdom is essential So maybe he is actually closer to that kind of high IQ criminal🤔

skull i think Dan could be a sore loser after everything is said and done… but he calls Valerie on the phone to gloat before destroying amity park's shield being a sore loser, i think he could constantly be throwing a tantrum, and that makes him act like a beast. but his ordinary characterization is very smart!

Dream As a ruler, force and wisdom are inevitable… After all, if he doesn't have a smart assistant, he has to think about many things by himself (Looks at the Terror Knight)（？） But you are right, I think he will beat Clockwork without listen any reason😋 After all, he is his prisoner Honestly, I think Dan will do very well in school！ He will definitely achieve high grades

skull omg definitely :3

Dream And sometimes Clockwork will say something bluntly sarcastic, which is funny！！

skull and dan will laugh…. it's like a dangerous meeting of two cunning minds

Dream Yes… so the observants must be panicking because they know how smart and cunning Dan is, and they're worried that Dan will convince Clockwork to destroy the world

skull oh my god????? 😂😳 thats CRAZY it could be crazy if dan was so reasonable… trying to persuade clockwork… and they spoke civilly, as the fate of all mankind swung in the balance like a pendulum, or a watch on a chain 😋

Dream Imagine! The observers saw the possibility of Dan and Clockwork merging, and they panicked, saying that you can't use yourself to act! What if you are really eaten by him, the world will be destroyed! So if Dan merged with Clockwork for pleasure, they would be homophobic🤣

skull LMAOOO the Observants are homophobic against their colleague's marriage…

Dream Thinking from this perspective, I think Clockwork might agree to Dan's request to merge (for pleasure), but they won't let observers see the fused form

skull what do you mean they won't let them see?

Dream These big eyeballs are gonna be scary!

skull surely they see almost as much as Clockwork

Dream Clockwork will ask to be unfused when an observer comes to visit🤔 Yeah, but they can't look inside the clock tower… they don't know how much debauchery there is between Clockwork and Dan😋

skull oh, i see! this is true…

Dream They could only see that Dan and Clockwork were very intimate, but they didn't know how far they had progressed or how many times they had sex😋

skull thats cute!

中文：

梦我意识到，丹不是一个粗鲁的人，他只是相信暴力，其实他很有教养…弗拉德是个科学家！而且丹尼也是一个非常聪明的孩子！脾气不好不代表愚蠢🤔… 我仔细看了动画，甚至觉得他维持着一种很奇怪的文明哦��我觉得我需要重新考虑我的一些设定

skull 当你说他不是一个粗鲁的人时，你认为他不会说“他妈的”之类的话或表现得像动物吗？ 🤔 是的……我想我让他表现得有点不同，因为他以前从未被打得这么惨过我选择将丹的抑郁解释为某种削弱了他智力的东西……也许当他处于更舒适的情况下，他会表现得更像平常的自己

梦不，我是在指我自己的理解……我认为也许理性地和丹交谈可以出乎意料地说服他，也许他甚至愿意听🤔

skull 哦！我觉得这是个好主意！😳

梦我以前以为，当 Clockwork 试图和他讲道理时，丹会说，滚开，我不想听！但我意识到，如果我从另一个角度思考，还有另一种可能性。他会用鄙视的眼光看着 Clockwork，想看看他能说出什么废话，并试图辨别其中的诡辩，找出他可以反击的地方？🤔

skull 是的……丹可能很狡猾！！

梦也许他从来没有机会和任何人辩论……或者他的傲慢使别人无法说服他

梦是的，我就是这个意思！因为我看到一些同人小说把丹描述成一个未开化的野兽……不，其实如果你仔细想想，如果你想统治鬼界这么多年，智慧是必不可少的所以也许他实际上更接近那种高智商罪犯🤔

skull 我认为丹在一切都说完做完之后可能会成为一个输不起的人……但他在电话里打电话给瓦莱丽炫耀，然后摧毁了阿米蒂公园的防护盾作为一个输不起的人，我认为他可能会不断发脾气，这让他表现得像个野兽。但他平凡的性格塑造非常聪明！

Dream 作为统治者，武力和智慧是必不可少的……毕竟，如果他没有一个聪明的助手，他必须自己思考很多事情（看看恐怖骑士）（？）但你说得对，我认为他会毫无理由地殴打Clockwork😋 毕竟他是他的囚犯老实说，我认为Dan在学校会表现得很好！他一定会取得高分

skull 哦，天哪，绝对的：3

Dream 有时Clockwork会说一些直言不讳的讽刺话，这很有趣！！

skull 而Dan会笑……这就像是两个狡猾的头脑的危险会面

Dream 是的……所以观察者一定很恐慌，因为他们知道Dan有多聪明和狡猾，他们担心Dan会说服Clockwork毁灭世界

skull 哦，我的天？？？？ 😂😳 太疯狂了如果丹这么通情达理……试图说服发条……那可能就太疯狂了…… 他们说话彬彬有礼，而全人类的命运就像钟摆，或链上的手表一样摇摆不定😋

梦想象一下！观察者看到了丹和发条融合的可能性，他们惊慌失措，说：你不能用自己来演戏！如果你真的被他吃了怎么办！世界会毁灭！所以如果丹为了欢愉而和发条融合，他们会恐同🤣

skull 笑死观察者们对同事的婚姻是恐同的……

梦从这个角度考虑，我认为发条可能会同意丹的融合请求（为了欢愉），但他们不会让观察者看到融合态

skull 你是什么意思，他们不让他们看？

Dream 这些大眼球子会被吓坏！

skull 他们看到的肯定和 Clockwork 一样多

Dream 当观察者来访时，Clockwork 会要求解除融合🤔 是的，但他们看不到钟塔里面……他们不知道 Clockwork 和 Dan 之间有多少放荡行为😋

skull 哦，我明白了！这是真的……

Dream 他们只能看到 Dan 和 Clockwork 非常亲密，但不知道他们进展到了什么程度，也不知道他们做了多少次爱😋

skull 好可爱！

Yakuza? I'm not surprised. Apparently we enjoy our violent men.. I do.

Actually! I've finished watching the first movie, and now I'm watching the Red Rain movie. While also trying to develop my red character.

I can see that Naomi had some part in helping Junko on stopping any of the girls from fighting against Mighty Warriors, Doubt and Kuryu in those scenes. But to be fair.. Naomi has always been against fighting, which doesn't surprise me that she does prevent them from fighting.

But I still believe that their mothers, the original Strawberry Girls, did actually fight to protect people in the town compared to the children.

This is strictly my opinion.

If Hyuga's sexually attracted to submissive women, then I would have to the woman is a bratty submissive rather than obedient submissive. Someone who could give and take, someone with attitude, someone.. Someone who can definitely keep up with his rough, even aggressive, actions whenever they're intimate. Or if they're both dominants in the traditional sense, I could see them always fighting for dominance any time one of them wants to take control of the other. It's what I think.

Despite the occasional times where she's riding Rocky, I actually have imagined him being more dominant than her. But in gentler ways that is completely different than someone like Hyuga who is actually really rough person. Obviously. I can see Rocky being more generous out of the SWORD leaders like I imagine him being the type of man who will give his woman multiple orgasms before having an orgasm, but that's how I see it. Possibly romantic. And Rocky does seem like he is better suited be in charge, not that his woman couldn't be, but if he's always able to keep up with multiple businesses a day than he's able to really capable of being in the dominant one. If that makes any sense at all.

Cobra's a switch. He would be comfortable in any and every positions with his partner, especially if he's comfortable with that person. So I'll say switch. We agree on that. But what about kinks? If he's into biting though, never on the same levels as Hyuga is. Cobra is never extreme like Hyuga. I'm still trying to figure out any kinks for Cobra though.

I don't think Murayama would care who is dominant, submissive, and switching. But I can see him wanting a partner who's actually capable to keep up with his energy, stamina, who can match his intensity. But in milder ways compared to Hyuga who has very aggressive intensity.

I don't know why I keep comparing them to Hyuga. But, y'know.. I did.

Can't we just kill Dan? Because it would be easy. Let the attractive girl lure him in an isolated place, and just kill him in whichever way. But I'll say that I'm more partial to tortuous deaths. Kill them painfully slow. I blame Vincenzo who also has a prefer for torturing his enemies in the most painful ways. But.. Anyway. One less stupid person in the world.

I don't know... I'm neutral about flowers in general. I really wouldn't be surprised if Rocky has a preference for roses, just because roses have always represented as the most romantic flower. Don't know why this came to mind. Anyway. Choose whichever flowers that seem fitting.

At least that might be a new movie for you to watch? If you watch the movie. Maybe that would give you ideas? I don't know. Either way..

I love how... Even though Hyuga is one of our favorites, we are always just saying that he's an unhinged girl. I can't stop laughing every time.

Just fuck Sarah up, just do it. She needs a taste of her own medicine.

Actually. Is it weird that.. Okay. I know Rocky has these clubs, or club, because he wanted a safe place for women to enjoy themselves when men wouldn't harass them. Obviously. But I could also see that Rocky always has rules in place for women drinking too much, or bartenders already know when enough is enough. And that they give them water, especially after the women drank too much alcohol. Which is why I do think Rocky may also send some Rascals to take the women home or at least escort them somewhere safely, to protect them from harm.

I love how even though the Rascals usually don't care about the more personal lives of people (besides women and girls), they'd always end interfering in someone's relationships. How did this happen anyway?!

yakuza guy threatened to stab a guy in the balls after already stabbing him in the leg and then later threatened to burn off a different yakuza guy’s tattoos on sauna rocks while nude because he was using his bathhouse towel to choke the guy out. so yes. violent guy. there hasn’t been many fight scenes tho. and reo’s character has been in the background being very uncomfortable with it all. truly having the worst time. my pathetic lil meow meow guy~

i bet the original strawberries were badasses. i’m gonna imagine them as brawlers.

if hyuga had a submissive partner, they’d definitely have to be a bratty one. i think he enjoys a bit of attitude from his partner. i do love the thought of him with an equally dominant partner and having to wrestle with for who’s on top. their foreplay is figuring out who gets to be in charge for this round.

exactly what i was thinking for rocky but i couldn’t figure out how to say it. like i dont think he gives up control easily because he’s the leader of his gang and the boss at his clubs, so being in charge is a role he’s comfortable in. he’s like. very guiding. like even if his partner’s on top, he’s still leading her. idk. idk words.

i’m still trying to figure out kinks for cobra. i’m not sure that he’s into anything too extreme, or at least not unless a partner brings it up to him. i don’t really know a lotta kinks tho. i need some free time from work and stuff to read some fics. and to rewatch some cobra scenes.

i think one of the things murayama wouldn’t be into is, like, bondage stuff. on him at least. because anything restricting his hands is a ‘no’ because of his handsiness. but otherwise he can easily switch between being dominant or submissive.

just get him outta here. no more dan. retroactively remove him from any scenes after figuring out the drug trade in nameless. it was the only time he was useful, we don’t need the rest of his scenes. also get rid of the dtc movie entirely except for the smg and daruma babies bits.

i like some flowers, but roses are meh to me. i do think rocky likes roses tho. because he’s a romantic. dont get me started on flowers or i will start assigning what kinds of flowers each team leader would get their partners.

hyuga is my best friend. he’s my guy. he’s so fun. but he also fights like an unhinged teenage girl.

hyuga sees yui in a fight and doesn’t even move to help her, he’s just watching her whale on a guy like ‘she’s great, lookit her go’. meanwhile if it’s ryuko he’s like ‘if any of u hurt her, i’ll kill you’, as if ryuko doesn’t have many many blades on her.

since rocky sent the smg guys on holiday with the heaven girls to make sure they were safe and having a good time, i don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility for him to have female customers escorted home at the end of the night.

well rocky loves love and kizzy likes to nose into people’s business. so if rocky can help set up a relationship he’s sure won’t be abusive, he’ll nudge them in each other’s direction. kizzy’s doing it for the gossip and/or because she’s bored.

Lmao, all this sudden hatred of Terry and his slip up in your fanfiction takes me back way back to 2002 when the Brits made a mini TV series of the Russian classic, Doctor Zhivago. Yuri, the main character, cheats on his lovely, angelic wife Tonya (who he has cute kids with too) with “the slut” Lara. It was a loose adaptation and just okay, but I remember it especially because of the supreme rage comments the cheating got, especially from internet crusaders and trolls. Lara of course got the brunt of it since she’s always been one of literature’s most loathed characters (also because she’s the other woman).

But the scene that really riled people was when Tonya was giving birth, and nurse Lara helps her—and Tonya realizes that she’s been fucking her husband Yuri. It’s a really awful and hurtful scene and the keyboard warriors had a field day with it back in the day on Y*utube. It was just the final straw for them. Even millions dying in the Russian Revolution and the Gulags didn’t bother them as much. But the cheating—HELL NO!

I believe it hits a little too close to home. Very few people are afraid their partners may become involved in the mob or the Russian Gulag, but cheating - that could happen! And the Anon asking must have thought it was a possibility, or else why ask? I could have shut that down by "Alphas in their Nature never cheat", but I have already established that Nature isn't absolute. Amanda doesn't 'act' like an omega at all. Some people feel Daniel is not submissive enough for the trope. Well then - isn't it possible for Terry to go against the Alpha nature? If the rule was set in stone in this verse a tempting would never even occur. That would be like tempting a human with a delicious plate of the greenest, freshest spring grass. Useless. Humans don't eat grass. But since Anon already thinks Terry might be tempted, why not explore the possibility? I am demonstrably not the only one who thinks it could happen. And yes, it happens the one time, because Terry thinks he can have a bit of bachelor life back, and immediately realises that no, oh God, no, this actually recommits him to his love completely, and Daniel does not even know it happens, that's suddenly unforgivable? Not what he did for Daniel to actually leave? (Though people are reexamining that mess too!) but a drunken fling that makes him understand how deeply he actually loves his mate? That's what set people off?

There seem to be roughly, two kinds of flavours people want to see for this fic. Many want to see the happy times, yes. But there's also a lot of people constantly coming back to their angsty side. Which is legit. This whole fic is two people working through the fact that their love is built on an act of violence, a violence they have to transform. And this, one, terrible crisis - people have kept picking at that scab in asks. To the discomfort of people wanting the good times. Still, maybe it's easier to not dwell on if you are not afraid you will ever get in the position where edgy but good lovemaking (that people also keep asking for), tips into a bad experience. I can tell you that line in and of itself can also be very thin. Still, maybe that does not feel very immediate. But it surprises me that many people seem to realise that this is what happened between them - all the sexy, edgy, dangerous passion tipping into actual danger mid lovemaking - only when I introduced a danger people can relate to. It seems to put it into terms that hit home.

To me, a drunken, angry fling during a visceral fight is far less damning than what actually happened in the lead up to it. So I was like: "Ah, well, if people can handle that, they'll understand about the cheating."

Guess not!

To me it felt like a possible very ugly outcome of the basis of their marriage. This marriage was Daniel being used to neutralise this side of Terry and he has. But that doesn't mean that side of him is dead. And it came back up and I feel that it is a testament to Daniel's strength and the strength of the love they both built that this could be a litmus test of their bond. This is a betrayal that Daniel will not tolerate and it is really up to Terry now to choose who he is going to be: the one who would hurt Daniel to soothe his ego or the one that would let himself be changed, actually changed, by his love for him?

But you know, people can be self righteous in these scenarios. It's still too easy for Terry to rationalise that he may have been 'in the right' as the Alpha. He already feels he's not, actually, before he cheats, but he's still angry at all the LaRussos, and Daniel for "giving him a hard time". It's the cheating that finally makes it click - this is what I'm risking. This is what I've done. This is so much deeper than my ego and if I have to take my ego out of it, what remains is that I've done something utterly monstrous.

And I have to make amends. Actual amends.

There's a vicious argument going on if it's Dan or Jeff whose speed racer and they're at it and fighting and it's going to be a race tonight between Jeff and Trump and it's going to be the Bradley GT original equipment and they're both trying to get there looks like an engines and chassis and suspension up to par and tires and rims can be open open class and they're going nuts trying to figure out which tires and rooms to use and our son says lightweight and and enough performance to hold the track you don't have to overdo the width and low profile simple it says oh yeah so he's going to town getting it ready and he knows what you mean if you get a hold of the track there's no point in getting something very very wide we need it pretty wide on that track they're going to be going possibly like $120 around the bend so he's looking at what to use and lightweight cuz it's not that much stress and then he goes oh that's pretty cool but there is stress so you're going he's going to go ahead and do it and it'll probably be a little bit faster but Trump's got experience in this nasty and his dad his son wants him to beat him it's going on now they're going to race down the street and our son and daughter say the beauty is that nobody will hear the race and they won't hear about until after cuz it's not real loud and sure you can have a rematch after you soup it up and soup up the engine but you can't change the suspension only what was original and that was VW beetle and they have new stuff they're putting it on which is fine cuz it's old and s***** and the tires and rooms can be anything you can find that works and they said we want to do the second race the third race is the GT2 no the third race would be a modified motor that would fit they're going to limit it to they said to V6 and they said okay so that actually makes it straightened out for the other races but he said it before he's writing up the rules now and that store in Freya this is going to be awesome so we're looking at the racetrack and they have a race scheduled for tonight so the race has to be earlier or later and the race is for like 9:00 p.m. it goes like midnight is awful already cuz people can't get there and really there's a curfew at 9:00 so most people can't so they're going to go talk to the raceway and our son I mean my husband is saying damn it it's my husband is saying probably like 5:00 p.m. even though it's a real short race and we said like 10 laps or something and they're saying 20 laps is pretty short it's a quarter mile so it's only 5 MI it still takes time if you start the race exactly at 5:00 people have to get there at like 4:00 and filtering in and get everything ready and set up and screened and then after 5:00 it's the race last only like 20 minutes but then have your break it down everybody's out of there at 6:30 7:00 and they have places to go so they're thinking about that and we're going to post right now so they have this to look at

Hera Zues

They know it takes them only a few minutes but a lot of people have to come and go and get it ready and break it down before the next race and at 5:00 it'll just barely be there and the racing officials wanted to be at 4:00 p.m. and they're actually on the phone with Mac and Mac has agreed and so get ready for 4:00 p.m. everybody

Thor Freya and really keep in mind it's just Jeff and Trump and One race and it's an exhibition race and they might start up another GT race tomorrow with everybody in it and it's a testing out of the race it's a good idea and it's much better if it starts here and we'll see what the clones are up to right now they're trying to get over there

Thor Freya

This is great it opens up the whole thing

Olympus

Wow I'm getting all sorts of support and for this exhibition race and they're kind of friendly but they don't like each other time but they're competitive and sometimes to a flaw but really this is going to show them what the clones are up to and they say they see tons of it now they're messing with them trying to get the parts they're messing with each other trying to get them to fight I got to tell you this is an intense idea and what he said was that the club took his award as a Cub scout and he did it was a trophy and he'd have many of them but he was so upset that he didn't race again so we don't want him doing that and these people think he's not racing when he's pounding them to Oblivion for not letting him do anything it doesn't matter if he tried to race again he says he pushed me out again and what can I do they said my car is too heavy so we looked and we saw them fudging with it and he saw the messing with it too so one day we found out Peter audette was selling drugs he always does stuff like that and he's messing with the scale people came back and says this doesn't even weigh half an hour he has no I weigh it right here in the looking it says 1 oz and then a little scale and a few people showed him this is what the hell is wrong with it and the calibration is way off he says someone tampered with it and he started getting really mad he's telling people who it was and they said when he came in here it looks like Dave messed it up and it was when BG got hurt and BG says it was worth it and tons of people start getting mad at him and he started to pull some rank no he said to pull tricks he got messed up but I remember that he's an a****** and he's been saying he's getting their stuff the whole time so we're going after him pretty hard cuz of his mouth

Mac

We're seeing this race coming to reality it is the most powerful thing I've ever seen him do here but no it's not true but really this is intense this is great we're going to have a lot of fun and it's going to straighten out a lot of stuff and people are taking us things and bothering him it's horrible and their faces in the race is going to be different because they'll see that they missed it and so Matt wants to go you just know what we're talking about yet yeah he will get it there's a lot of questions if we're missing the roof can we can we still racist know you have to have a roof and you should be able to replicate it just go to Trump's plastic company and Jeff was smiling when he said it so we get it there's a bunch of girls who want to sign up for tomorrow and the guys are saying no and your car has to be finished finally. Well we didn't want you driving it and now it's going on there's another fight and Hera said that last line.

Little momentous occasion and he says it's kind of hilarious but fun and you can actually ride the e-bike to the racetrack if anybody has any clue you know if I see like a few of these going out there on a trailer or driving out I might try and figure out if there's a race and suddenly they are dropping their jaw and say no way we start to get this. It's such a small thing you're doing but with these guys who are close it's huge they think that you're going to be a huge problem

"It's been more like a 'Choose Your Own Adventure'!" A Rufly Playlist

Finally, a use for my Dad(™) music taste! I threw in a few live recordings/rough sessions because that’s rock and roll, babey. YouTube link here

image sources: (x) (x) (x)

American Girl - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

If you think this isn’t a rufly song, then idk what to tell you.

And for one desperate moment there / He crept back in her memory / God, it's so painful when something that is so close / Is still so far out of reach

Light My Fire - The Doors

Making this playlist was fun because I got to imagine a lot of precanon Rufus/Lily, and how they came to be. And like, I can see Rufus covering a LOT of these, yk?

The time to hesitate is through / No time to wallow in the mire

Funny Feelin’ - Langhorne Slim

I can also see Rufus actually writing some of these. Like this one!

Well, I got my eye on you, baby / And I know I ain't the only one / But if you just say maybe / My lonely days would be done

Superstar - tswift

If you don’t project onto at least one tswift song can you even call it a ship playlist?

And I knew from the first note played / I'd be breaking all my rules to see you / You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row / Scream your name

Lay, Lady, Lay - Bob Dylan

Tour life vibes

His clothes are dirty but his, his hands are clean / And you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen

Fire - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Your kisses they burn / But your heart stays cool

Fooled Around and Fell in Love - as performed by Morgan James

Because Lily Rhodes really did fuck around and find out.

Free, on my own is the way I used to be / Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me

Don’t Let Me Down - The Beatles

Nothing says Lily & Rufus like a Beatles deep cut.

I'm in love for the first time / Don't you know it's gonna last

Shadows of the Night - Pat Benatar

80s rock vibes, babe!

You can cry tough baby, it's all right / You can let me down easy, but not tonight

She - as performed by She & Him

She may be the love that cannot hope to last / May come to me from shadows of the past

Can’t Buy Me Love - The Beatles

Tell me that you want the kind of things / That money just can't buy / I don't care too much for money / Money can't buy me love

Second Hand News - Fleetwood Mac

It’s breakup chapter time, y’all

I know there's nothing to say / Someone has taken my place

Hungry Heart - Bruce Springsteen

I met her in a Kingstown bar / We fell in love I knew it had to end / We took what we had and we ripped it apart / Now here I am down in Kingstown again

Piece of My Heart - as performed by Big Brother and the Holding Company

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby / Well, you know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

Love Really Hurts Without You - Billy Ocean

In my head, this is the “Lily and her cavalcade of failed relationships post-Rufus” montage song

You walk like a dream and you make like you're queen of the action

Halls - Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

This is the “Rufus touring post-Lily” montage song

Thought a broken heart could write a perfect song / And it did and I was right so now you're gone

Mulholland Drive - The Gaslight Anthem

Okay so we all know about the Dair & Rufly parallels, and this song nearly ended up on that playlist, but the vibe didn’t quite fit. And I think, in my heart of hearts, that this song (though probs more punk than Lincoln Hawk sounds) reads like Rufus could have written it. And there are lines that are so evocative of both Dair & Rufly like I still remember holding you, just out of sight of her - like! That’s Valentine’s day 2012 amirite??? And: But it scared you, love, to need someone, so you killed it all instead. And the imagery of Mulholland Drive with Lily being from LA...Anyways this song is one of my all time favorites.

Would you miss me if I was gone and all the simple things were lost? / Would you ever wait on me to say / Oh that I’d just die if you ever took your love away

Malibu 1922 - COIN

You're some old man's new trophy / Locked up in some house in New Jersey / Now money's not a problem / But 20 years it seems you've forgotten

How’s the World Treating You - Elvis Presley

Pilot Rufly vibes, but sad!

Every sweet thing that mattered / Has been broken in two / And I'm asking you, darling / How's the world treating you?

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues - The Gaslight Anthem

Pilot Rufly vibes, but sexy!

Can I get a witness, pretty baby? / I still love Tom Petty songs and drivin' old men crazy

It Ain’t Me Babe - Bob Dylan

“You made a choice to be Lily Bass, and we both need you to go do that.”

Go lightly from the ledge, babe / Go lightly on the ground / I’m not the one you want, babe / I will only let you down

Harvest Moon - Neil Young

It’s about the lovers to strangers to hostile acquaintances to friends to lovers again.

When we were strangers / I watched you from afar / When we were lovers / I loved you with all my heart

Home From Home - Roo Panes

“Well, it’s Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t think of another place that felt more like home.”

Because I'm starting to realise the question worth asking is, who? / I'm starting to realize the question worth answering is you

You Got Lucky - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

I mean. I mean they do fight a lot.

If you don't feel complete / If I don't take you all the way / Then go

Are We Free? - Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill

I like how this whole song is a dialogue, but always comes together at the chorus

Are we free to understand / or bound to repeat again / all the wars of before?

The Bones feat. Hozier - Maren Morris

“The king and queen of reconciliation” - Dan Humphrey

No, it won't always go the way we planned it / But the wolves came and went and we're still standing

Songbird - Fleetwood Mac

They didn’t break up, what are you talking about?

And I love you, I love you, I love you / Like never before

Beginning to Feel the Years - Brandi Carlile

And I'm beginning to feel the years / But I'm going to be okay / As long as you're beside me--along the way

Call on Me - Big Brother and the Holding Company

Baby, when you're down and feel so blue / Well, no, you won't drown, honey, I'll be there too

Lily - Benjamin Gibbard

It was too perfect. I had no choice.

Lily is a big brass band who fills the air with song / Lily is a destination and she's where my arms belong

Hard Feelings - Brian Fallon

And the time used to stop in her hands / I could feel it go hesitant / When it rained in Manhattan / We took shelter in the spare room at the Grand

The Joke's on Us part 4

Warning : possessive behavior.

A dark shadow floats on top you and gently caresses your face.

" Soon..We'll be reunited, old friend."

Penny gasps, recognizing that shadow from the deep confines of his memories..Maturin had mentioned him when they were still friends.

" Shardik.."

At the mention of his name, the shadow quickly turns towards Penny whose breath stops. Shardik's smile widens and he floats on top of Penny to stare at him straight in the eyes.

" Ah..You must be one of the creatures Maturin created. A shame, I really thought you would be more..impressive ?"

Penny only snarls at him before responding with a threat.

" What were you doing ? I swear that if you touch her..I'll kill you."

The entity, far from being intimidated, only laughs loudly at Penny's menace which seems to amuse him more than anything.

" Really ? And how will you do that without your powers, Penny ? Don't forget that I am as powerful as you were and as old as Maturin. Funny, the old turtle really thought you and Pennywise could stop me when he is gone. Imagine how much he was disappointed when he realized that your hatred towards humanity was blinding you. He never got you those powers to use them against humans, or children..He wanted you to protect them. But, now that the old turtle is dead and you two are too weak to stop me. I'll be able to rule over that planet. I'll suck upon its energy until there is nothing left. I'll even start with you little charming town. Derry, is it ?"

Penny glares up at him, but had to admit that he can't protect you like this. Now that he is only human, he is happy, happier than he's ever been..but..The shadow chuckles evilly in the shell of his ear.

" That planet has been without order for much too long..It passed its life expectancy hundreds of years ago..But don't worry, as soon as I will have ate her, Maturin's powers will be in me and I will make sure to bring an end to humanity.."

Penny growls at the mention of you being eaten by Shardik and tries to jump on him with a roar.

" Don't you dare touch her !"

However, he suddenly wakes up, covered in sweat and sees that you are the one who woke him up. Your eyebrows are tensed in obvious worry and, without any words, Penny wraps his arms around you. He had felt fear before..but not like that..never like that..His heart is racing against his ribcage and he is holding onto you like it is the last time.

" P..Penny ? Are you alright ?"

Your question makes him open his eyes and come back to reality. You are running your hand gently on top of his head, smoothing his hair in the process to calm him down. He finally steps back and looks at Pennywise that had woken up as well. The both of them had felt it..He was coming back. You look at the both of them with a confused expression and finally ask, tired by the secrecy of both men.

" That's it. What's going on ? Why do you look so grave all of a sudden ?!"

Penny doesn't answer, he only stands up and gets out of the room without another word. You turn towards Pennywise, hoping for some kind of explanation. He doesn't peep either and only returns to the sofa that had become his bed for the time being. However, you don't let it go and sit in front of him with a determined look on your face.

" Now, you're going to tell me what's going on."

You didn't mean to make it sound like an order, but you couldn't just let them fend for themselves anymore. Pennywise finally turns towards you and sighs loudly before telling you what this was all about.

" Penny and I always had a very deep connection with Maturin, we could feel his presence and so could he. However, Maturin is not the only entity out there. The world has at least 12 entities guarding it. One of them being Shardik..Shardik is one of the twelve guardians of Beams that hold up The Dark Tower. It is a cyborg bear that stands over forty feet tall and one ugly unkillable bastard with more energy than millions of suns. He was pissed to know that I killed his brother and wanted to come and exterminate this planet on which lives his brother's murderer..But like many, he was scared of us. But now that we lost our powers ? He's coming, and with you being the turtle's successor ? We will all die for sure."

You lean against the back of your chair and sigh loudly. You only are a painting teacher..Of course he would crush you. But, that didn't mean you had to give up.

" Well, aren't you the optimist ?! Why don't you show me how to fight instead of complaining ?!"

He ignores you and only turns his back to you as he pretends to fall asleep again. You stand up and suddenly throws his blanket off. That get a reaction and you can hear a growl from him as he stands up to face you menacingly.

" Why ?! You want to know why ?! Because of this !"

He suddenly takes you by the shoulder and digs his thumb in your wounded flesh. You whine in pain and Pennywise immediately retracts his hand.

" Do you really think that you'll ever be able to vanquish Shardik the bear with a human body ?! He would squish you in an instant! Learn how to heal yourself, then we'll talk about your fighting skills.."

You glare at him: deep inside, you know he is right, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. You humph at him before leaving the room to join your bedroom, but then, you hear someone crying upstairs. You follow the sound and find Penny, sitting on the floor and leaning against one of the corridor's wall. He looks up at you when he hears you approaching and you crouch by his side with a reassuring smile.

" Hey..We're going to be okay..Alright ?"

You try to comfort him, but he only sobs.

" What if..What if you can't beat him ? What if the only solution is for us to get back into who we were ?"

You sigh, knowing that if there were to be no other solution, you would have to break your promise..You would have to hurt them, one way or another.

" I guess I'll have to change you back. I know that I prefer you to have the choice but..If there are no other solution, I'll have to break my promise. I can't let you die. Not when I know I could have avoided it.."

You sit next to him and you both stay quiet for a moment, lost in your thoughts until Penny looks at you with his eyes full of uncertainty.

" And what if I don't want to get back to what I was ? What if I want to stay human ?"

You can't help but smile and tears start to build up in your eyes..Why couldn't the universe leave them alone ? You are so close to them finally accepting their new forms..

" Then, I'll guess it'll be my job to be sure that you don't have to."

He smiles back and before you know it, you are both holding hands. You don't try to get it out, even though you know that at any moment, Penny could come back to his old ways. You're not scared of him, you aren't even sure if you ever really were ? You don't even notice that Pennywise had climbed up the stairs and is now looking at the both of you from afar with a slight frown. He only turns away and waits when he is safe in is bed to grunt.

" What does she find in him..?"

Unaware that his eyes glow a slight orange in the dark for a second.

The next day, you decide that it's grocery shopping time. However, the two clowns are still sound asleep and you take the opportunity to get out alone. Once in the street, you take a breath of fresh air and start walking towards the shop, wondering what you should buy for the two men. You enter the shop and start looking around. You are lost in your thoughts and don't see another person coming in your direction. You suddenly collide with said person and look up to see a man with blue eyes and a nice smile.

" I'm sorry. I didn't see you there."

He extends his hand towards you and you take it with a grateful smile.

" No. It's me. I should have looked where I was going."

His smile widens as you shake his hand. He introduces himself.

" I'm Dan. I don't really know my way around here. I'm the new teacher from down the block."

You smiles politely and introduce yourself as well.

" I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you. I'm the Art teacher of the neighborhood."

His eyes seem to light up at the mention of you being an Art teacher.

" Really ?! You're the Art teacher ? My cousin never stops talking about you. Tom ?"

You seem to remember last time and wince at the memory. Seems like Tom hadn't said anything about the incident..You try your best to keep your composure and automatically feel that you need to make amends somehow.

" Do you want..Do you want a coffee ?"

He smiles again and nods.

" Sure ! Lead the way."

You take your groceries and pay them before getting out. You end up in a small coffee shop and both take what you want before sitting outside.

" I'm sorry. You must think it's weird that I never came before. I just moved in from the States so..Tom isn't even aware that I'm back yet."

Oh. Well, you still hoped that Tom hadn't talked to anyone about what had happened. You smile and shake you head.

" Not at all. Tom is a very nice boy and I always like to meet the families of my students. It helps to understand them better. Although, it's the first time I actually invite a member for a coffee."

" I should be honored then."

He takes a sip of his coffee before winking playfully at you. You blush and let a small chuckle.

" To tell you the truth..Tom and I have been quite distant since our older brother died. I do sometimes feel guilty for leaving him, but.."

You see that he is concerned and put you hand on his compassionately.

" I'm sorry..It must have hurt."

You had heard about Tom losing a brother, he did have a period when he could only draw dark things. Horrible things. It must have been a shock for everyone in his family. Dan smiles gratefully at you before answering.

" Don't worry. It's been a year now. I'm stronger than this."

You smile sadly at him, but then feel two very familiar shadows looming over you from behind. A hand grabs your shoulder and squeezes it in silent warning.

" Hi Y/N. Who is this ?"

Penny..And Pennywise is certainly not far behind. Dan stands up and stretches his hand towards them with a bright smile.

" Oh ! Sorry ! My name is Dan, I'm the brother of one of Y/N's students. And you are ?"

You are about to answer when Pennywise does it for you. He takes his hand and smiles forcefully.

" Pleasure. My name is Robert, and this is Bob. We're her roommates. Unfortunately, she seems to have forgotten about us this morning. You should have woke us up, Y/N. We would have helped you with the groceries."

He may sound calm, but you know better: the way he pronounces the last word makes you understand that he is pissed. Even Dan seems to understand as he retracts his hand and addresses you one last smile.

" Well..I should go. It was nice to meet you, Y/N."

However, he still writes something on a piece of paper and hands it to you.

"Here is my number, just in case."

He then gives one last nod in acknowledgement to the two men before turning and walking away. You have cold sweat running down your back as you can feel the murderous glares of the two clowns behind you.

" Let's go. Shall we ?"

Penny finally ask, more like commands as he grabs you harshly by the arm and drags you towards the house. You just have the time to get your bags. As soon as you are home, you run towards the kitchen and pretend to be busy with putting the grocery items on the shelves and in the fridge.

" W..What do you want for..?"

You don't have the time to finish your sentence as Pennywise suddenly comes behind you and wraps his arms around you.

" Now, princess..You're going to turn around and face us. We're not angry. We just want to talk."

"..Just want to talk..?"

You repeat with a broken voice, making sure that you heard right. Pennywise only nods slowly and you gulp loudly before turning around with your eyes closed tight.

" Come on, darling..You know that we want to see your eyes..Come on."

You tentatively open one eye, then the other in shock. They are not angry..They are very mad. You see that their eyes have changed colors and their skins are white..the same white than a few weeks ago. Suddenly, Penny takes you by the throat and pins you to the fridge while Pennywise presses his nose again your throat. He then inhales deeply and growls perceptibly.

" Looks like your little stunt hurt us more than we thought..I'm smelling your fear, sweetheart. And it smells delicious..One more minute, and we would have surely taken our true appearances back."

You don't understand. You hadn't hurt them, so why are they taking their clown forms back ?! Why are they angry even ?! You try to breathe, but Penny's mouth is against yours in a second..You open your eyes wide 'Everything makes sense now. They are jealous. Pain..They're in pain. You whimper when he bites your bottom lip. But, you don't open your mouth and he groans.

" You are going to open that mouth, sweet thing..Or I'm not sure you'll have a mouth to close at the end of the day.."

You open your eyes wide and tears are falling down your face. You don't have a choice but to open your mouth. But before he could do much, Pennywise gets a hold of him and throws him away from you.

" What the heck, Penny ?! When I said we were supposed to talk, I didn't mean by putting your tongue in her mouth ! Jeez ! Get a hold of yourself, kid !"

For a moment, shame and guilt seem to take a hold of Penny and he shakily stands back. He seems confused himself..Why did he do that ? Pennywise is taken aback by the clown's kiss..Where the heck did he even learn that from ?! Pennywise then returns to you, curled into a little ball on the floor and his heart tightens..Sh*t. They got carried away..Again. He sighs loudly and takes back his human form. Penny also loses his white skin and his yellow eyes. He wants to approach you but, you cry out.

" Don't touch me !"

Penny freezes and tries to nuzzle your neck as an apology, but you frown and push him back.

" No, Penny ! I'm angry ! You didn't have the right ! I didn't want you to be my first kiss ! I wanted someone who loved me !"

He looks up to Pennywise for help, but the older clown just shrugs. He has no idea of what to do..Truth is, he doesn't even know what all the problem is with "first kiss". He knows that a girl had to remain pure in order to marry when he was still alive..But he thought that rule had been abandoned long ago ? However, you seem very upset and Penny doesn't like it when you cry. He tries to think of a solution, of anything to make you forget what happened..He wants to get out the music box, but in your rage, you grab it and smash it against the wall. To your horror, you realize too late what you've done and Penny roars before pouncing on you, his teeths bare and ready to chomp on you. Pennywise tries to make him get off you, but he is too weak and Penny doesn't have any problem pushing him aside. However, Pennywise falls and knocks his head against a nearby table. You can see blood, and so does Penny. Penny quickly gets back to his human form and shakes Pennywise to wake him up.

" Pennywise ! What's going on ?!"

Pennywise only groans in pain when Penny shakes him again. You instantly come by his side and automatically feel the sweat covering his arms and forehead. You then see a strange mark on his neck and blood starts getting out from his nose, eyes and ears. You quickly unbutton his shirt and gasp in horror.

" Oh my God.."

He was covered by black sports that seemed to spread all over him like a..a disease.

" P..Pennywise. Did you have the..?"

" The black plague ?"

He guesses and you nod. He sighs and finally nods.

" Yes. It was not as bad as my family though.."

You bite your lower lip..By how fast it was spreading, he had a few hours at best. The disease seemed to have survived with him. You are about to call the ambulance when Pennywise stops you.

" Don't..Don't call the hospital. Those bastards won't know what to do..They're not prepared. Plus, they could get infected."

You sigh before remembering that..

" Pennywise..You bit me."

Your voice is shaking as you wonder if you will have it too..? Pennywyse's eyes widen and he curses.

" Sh*t. I have no idea.."

You have trouble breathing and put your hands in your pockets as you pace back and force, wondering what you should do ? You suddenly feel something inside your palm and quickly get it out to look at it. Sam's number..Inviting him could maybe break the deal and make them return to what they were ? Save them ? You shiver at the thought. Yes..But at what price ? You look back at Pennywise, his eyes are closed and his breathing very bad..You don't have a choice. You call him. It doesn't take you long to have him on the other side of the line.

" Hello ?"

" Sam ? Hey ! Could you come over ?"

You emphasize on his name, which make both of the clowns groan loudly in disapproval. However, they know what you're trying to do and don't try to stop you.

" Yeah ! Sure! I'll be right here !"

You force yourself to smile, still wanting to sound excited as to see him. However, the clowns seem to slowly change and growl loudly in the background. You hang off and look at them with a small sad smile.

" You know that it's the only way..Please, don't make this even more complicated than it really is."

Both clowns seem to understand your sacrifice and Pennywise slowly takes your hand with, for the first time in forever, tears in his eyes.

" Thank you, sweetheart."

You only nod and then, ask Penny to move him upstairs, as for Dan not to see him. He reluctantly agrees and helps you move the man upstairs. You then ask Penny to go hide in the basement. You prepare yourself and it doesn't take long for the doorbell to ring. You take a big breath before opening the door and letting Dan in. He looks around and finally smiles at you.

" Hi. So, what did you want to talk about ?"

You bite your lip and start thinking of a good reason for his presence.

" I..I just thought that it's been a long time since I've last had company and I wanted to see you again.."

He smiles and nods before sitting down on the couch. You gulp loudly before sitting beside him and looking at everything but him. He seems to catch on your nervousness and gently runs his hand on your back to soothe you.

" Hey, if you're not ready, I understand. I can wait and.."

" No !"

You hadn't meant to sound so desperate, but Pennywise was dying and you didn't know how to save him but to hurt him the only way you could. You take Dan by the collar and suddenly kiss him on the lips. He seems surprised at first, but reciprocates soon enough. You open your eyes and see that his are closed, he is actually enjoying the kiss. You smile. Maybe it wasn't so bad ? Penny and Pennywise would go down to the sewers and you would get to have a normal life back. However, you should have known that things wouldn't be so simple. Dan starts to be more persistent and slowly slides his hand up your thigh.

" No, Dan, wait.."

But he doesn't wait and only deepens the kiss to shut you up. Suddenly, someone pushes you apart harshly and you see Penny that took back his original form. He glares at Dan and growls menacingly before taking you in his arms and running in the basement. When he stops, you call him, nervous and scared that he would hurt you.

" Penny ?"

You ask, afraid that something had gone wrong..But, Penny only smiles with his multiple rows of very sharp teeths before answering you in his familiar high-pitched singing voice.

" ~I'm back.."

You smile in relief, but Penny suddenly takes you by the throat and you only have the time to look at him with widened eyes.

" Don't look at me like that..We wouldn't want Shardik to come and get you.."

When you fall into complete darkness, you barely hear Penny adding something in the shell of your ear.

" Don't worry. When all of this is over, we'll make sure to remind you who you truly belong to..You've been playing with us for too long, pet. With no humanity to abide by, there will be nothing to hold me back.."

Whereas upstairs, Pennywise enters the room transformed as you and takes Dan by the neck to kiss him harshly. However, when Dan opens his eyes, Pennywise is standing before him with a large grin.

" Surprise, shawty ! Not the person you were expecting, huh ? What ? Never kissed a clown before ? Remember that when the girl says no, it means no."

And then, without a warning, Pennywise sinks his teethes into Dan's shoulder. However, he doesn't scream. Pennywise feels something acid in his mouth and quickly steps back with a sour growl.

" You aren't human.."

Dan only chuckles before sitting on the couch in a nonchalant manner. His skin quickly turning to a pale shade of white and his eyes brighten almost mischievously.

" Man..Didn't think it would take you this long to figure it out.."

I'm sure a similar question has been asked already, but- what would happen if, theoretically, Hess and Samiel met? Jay and Dan, as well? 👀👀

Anon, you've asked a delicious question and it's been so much fun answering this! Thank you! I've answered this in terms of what they would think of one another, but there may be a teensy tiny drabble in the making for this scenario too. ;D

I think if Hess and Samiel met, they'd have very different reactions:

Samiel: On Samiel's part, there would be an instant dislike. This is for a couple of reasons:

1) I think he would be horrified at what Hess is up to. Samiel's a soldier - he's seen and done things he's not proud of in the name of duty, but what Hess is doing is on a whole new level. The man is literally playing games with the world. Peoples' lives are at stake over Hess's jealousies. I think Samiel would thoroughly disapprove of someone so irrational being in power. Equally, I think he wouldn't like the fact that Hess believes himself to be the only solution to fixing the world.

2) I think Samiel would dislike Hess's manipulation. Samiel is all about possession and a desire to please, but he wants to be wanted for himself. Blackmailing someone into loving you is never going to be a part of who he is. I think he'd recognise Hess didn't start this way, but I think he'd feel there's a strong argument that Hess's behaviour doesn't indicate devotion and loyalty, only selfishness.

3) Deeper than that though, I think there is a small part of Samiel that would also be uncomfortably aware that when it comes down to it, he understands why Hess goes to some of the lengths he does for Dan. I think meeting Hess would force Samiel into the uncomfortable realisation that he could do the same. In a universe where someone forcibly takes Jason Lane from Samiel Athannus, I think there's the very high risk of Samiel falling dangerously into Hess-like behaviour (minus the apocalypse powers). I don't mean in terms of personal manipulation, but in the sense that he would absolutely burn the universe to the ground to get Jay back if he needed to. I think confronting that aspect of himself would make Samiel realise just how close he came to skirting the edge of that, when he confronted Lault at the end of IB.

Hess:

Weirdly, I think Hess would actually quite like Samiel. He gets things done; he's practical and skilled, and Hess understands Samiel's devotion to Jay very well. I think he'd be keen to see if he could push Samiel's ambition - after all, Samiel's got the skills to rule Lenia if he wants to - but equally, I think he'd understand that Samiel's happy as he is, because he's already got his entire universe (Jay).

I suspect there would be a small, broken part of Hespherus Jones that recognises and admires the way Samiel behaves. The way he can wrap himself around the one he loves, and no longer has to fight against all odds to keep him. That part of Hess, is, I think, a little envious that Samiel has everything he's dreaming of. (Basically somewhere deep inside, Hess is still a little bit of a soft boy. He just doesn't know it.)

Dan:

I think Dan would be a bit bewildered by Jay. The public servant part of him (the policeman) would probably be a little bit cynical and suspicious of Jay's politicking. Dan is fairly straightforward: he speaks as he finds (even if sometimes he lies to himself). I think he wouldn't be sure he could trust Jay.

On the other hand, I think he'd quite like Jay's calm rationale. Often, I think Jay comes across as someone who knows what he's doing, even when he doesn't. I think Dan would appreciate that cool head in a crisis - particularly as it's something he doesn't have when it comes to personal drama. (Although I think he's quite good when dealing with public drama - unless, of course, it's Hess.)

I could see Dan appreciating Jay for what he is - the good and the bad - and honestly? I suspect he'd probably want to be friends, even if he doesn't quite understand the way Jay thinks.

Jay:

Jay would like Dan straight away. Dan isn't a particularly complicated person. He's often practical and pragmatic, and Jay would like that. He appreciates people who get things done, and Dan absolutely does that (even if it's in a melodramatic fashion sometimes). I also think he'd appreciate Dan's straightforward honesty. I mean, he's not as blunt as Hird, but equally I think you know where you stand with Dan.

I also think Jay would quite admire Dan's integrity: he lives and behaves the way his values dictate, even if that puts him on the path of most resistance. (I also suspect Jay would quite enjoy teasing Dan from time to time, winding him up with a bit too much politicking, just to set Dan off on a rant about 'bloody politicians'.)

Dan also has a healthy dose of denial going on about his own personal circumstances. I suspect Jay would see that as an interesting project to work on (because if there's one thing Jay enjoys, it's a puzzle that needs solving).

In short:

Jay and Dan would probably be sitting having a cup of tea (with Hobnobs, of course). Hess and Samiel would be having a fight outside in the garden. XD

sound of metal - matt

WARNING: might contain some triggering topics (talks of surgery, hearing loss)

A/N: this movie was so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time I had to write something based on it. (excuse the crappy ending) If you haven't seen sound of metal...go watch it nowww

•••

Matt had been acting strange lately. Wether it was during sound check or while you were performing in front of a crowd, he seemed off and completely out of it everytime you shot a glance his way.

Today wasn't any different and you were starting to grow seriously worried. You and your band were performing in front of your biggest crowd yet; the band was getting more and more recognition and people were quick to spread the word about your small tour. It even got to the point where people would take pictures with you and buy your merch after the show. Quite frankly, everything was going well and it was a dream come true.

But when you looked at Matt, it seemed like he wasn't handling things as well as you did. At first, you thought that it might only be stage fright. You weren't really used to such big venues, and it would've made sense that he feels some kind of discomfort in front of an important audience. Yet he never spoke to any of you about it, and you knew he would've at least told you if that was the case.

So when you looked over your shoulder in the middle of the fourth song and caught sight of him you immediately sensed that once again, something wasn't right. He looked almost terrified, you could tell his breathing was heavy and that it wasn't just because of the drums. You tried to contain your worry and focus on your singing, but you kept a mental note to talk to him after the show. You couldn't just sit there and keep pretending everything was alright when he was clearly hiding something from you.

But before you even had the time to move on from your thoughts Matt suddenly stormed out of the stage, his drumsticks falling to the floor while he pushed a few people on his way out. Your heart pounded hard against your chest as you were hit with a wave of anxiety, then with a small apology to the crowd and a worried glance at your bandmates you followed him.

Within seconds you were bursting through the back doors, running after him.

"Matt! Matthew, what the hell?" you called, running to his side. He was bent down, hands resting on his knees as he panted hard. You placed your hands on his shoulders and he eventually stood up straight before leaning against the fence. "Baby, what's wrong?" you placed your hands on his cheeks, your thumbs stroking his skin as your eyes searched for his.

"I can't hear anything." he admitted, voice cracking.

"What?"

"I can't hear anything."

You just picked at your food, not hungry due to how anxious you felt. You could barely register anything else than the sound of your heartbeat, the sounds of muffled talking, plates and glasses clinking from the restaurant being completely drowned out by your nagging thoughts.

"What are we gonna do?" James eventually spoke up.

"I don't know James. I really don't know." you put your fork down and buried your face in your hands, finally letting a few tears slip. You leg was bouncing repeatedly, heart beating a million miles a minute. After taking a deep breath, you grabbed the pen and paper that were in front of you and wrote something down.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" you slid the paper across the table so that Matt could read it. He sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"I didn't want you to worry about it. It's nothing. It'll come back eventually." he said, but you were far from satisfied with his answer. You squeezed your eyes shut.

"What did the doctor say?" once again, you slid the paper across the table.

"There's a surgery. An implant. It's— it's expensive but I'll get it."

"Y/N, there's no way he'll be able to afford it." James whispered. You glanced at him and nodded, knowing damn well you'd never be able to earn so much money in such a short amount of time. You were just a small band, earning a salary worth of such surgery would take an excessive amount of work and time. Noticing the worried look on everyone's face, Matt broke the silence and grabbed your hand.

"Look— we'll play tomorrow and see how it's like. It'll come back. It's fine baby, my hearing's not completely gone. okay? I can do it." Matt said, and you shook your head.

"No."

"We have a tour booked."

"Matt, it's not safe." you tried to reason with him as more tears welled in your eyes.

"We have a tour booked, Y/N, I'll just deal with it, I can do it!"

"No, Matt. We can't." you removed your hand from his hold.

"It'll come back!"

"For God's sakes Matt, it's not safe!" you finally raised your voice, fist colliding with the table as you flopped back against your seat. Your bandmates flinched and some waitresses and customers turned to you, thinking a fight had broke out. You apologized quietly, not even loud enough for any of them to hear before grabbing the pen.

"We're not finishing the tour. You can barely hear a word we're saying. We're not finishing it." you put the pen down and got up, gathering your things before turning to James and Alex. "I'll call the manager and see what we can do."

And with that, you left the dinner without a word.

Fortunately, your manager was very understanding of the situation and helped you with everything you needed. He got you in contact with a friend of his who ran a small community in which Matt would be able to attend meetings and learn sign language.

You called the man immediately after finishing the call with your manager, wanting to get this done as soon as possible. You were hit with a wave of relief when he told you he would be more than willing to welcome Matt, as long as he complied with the rules that were imposed there. But getting Matt to understand that this wasn't just a small hearing loss and that he needed help was another story.

"I'm not going, Y/N. God, it— it doesn't even bother me that much! I can still play!" he said and you shook your head, lowering it afterwards. You had never seen him so agitated, and no matter how hard he tried to convince you that he was okay, you could see right through him. His hearing loss was in fact bothering him, he just wouldn't admit it. "Baby I know our songs by heart, we could just—"

"Matt, stop. Just stop." you interrupted him. Tears were beginning to form in your eyes and it was getting harder to hold them back. He scoffed, burying his hands in his hair.

"Matt. Please. Just look at me." you placed your index finger under his chin, forcing him to look at you. "The most important thing right now is to preserve the hearing you have left. Okay?" your hand slid to his cheek, wiping a tear before pecking his lips. "I love you so much, baby. And that's why I'm not leaving you the choice. We're cancelling the tour, and you're going to let these people take care of you." you told him, making sure to speak clearly.

-time skip-

Those 6 months spent away from him were hard. The members of the community he was in all lived in one house together with no contact to the outside world - which meant no phones allowed. It was a rule that you had agreed on committing to, but you hadn't anticipated how awfully long these months would actually be. Performing without him was something you couldn't get used to. You had found a new drummer for the time he was gone, but it was different. You were so used to Matt's energy, his way of playing, and the boy was nothing like him. He was really nice and Alex and James seemed to get along well with him, but this band wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Matt, therefore performing his songs without him felt wrong.

You had no idea what the future was going to look like, wether it was regarding the band or your relationship. You had no idea how Matt was doing. For all you knew he could be at his lowest point and you weren't there for him. Or maybe he was having an amazing time, and you couldn't shut off this nagging voice in the back of your head that kept telling you he might've met someone new.

You were walking home from work, looking forward to leave this long day behind you and get some well deserved rest. You greeted your dad and was about to make your way to your room, but his voice stopped you in your tracks before you could leave.

"Y'a Matt qui t'attends dans ta chambre." (Matt's waiting for you in your room.)

"Quoi?" (What?)

"Il est arrivé y'a une heure ou deux. Je lui ait dit de rester là en attendant que t'arrives." (He arrived about an hour or two ago. I told him to stay there and wait for you.)

You tried to contain your excitement in front of him, but your heart felt like it was about to burst inside your chest.

"Okay, cool. Merci."

With that, you left the kitchen and made your way upstairs hurriedly, heart beating faster with every step you took.

Finally, you opened the door to your room and your eyes immediately caught Matt's figure. He was sitting on your bed, a book in hands as he waited for you. You stayed at the door for a small instant, grinning warmly as he looked up, allowing you to finally make eye contact.

"Hi. Can you hear me?"

Matt set the book down and nodded, then you walked over to him, standing between his legs. You cupped his face and caressed his cheeks with your thumbs, taking in all of him. His hair was a bit longer than the last time you had seen him.

"I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too."

You leaned in and pressed your lips together for the first time in five months, your hands sliding to the back of his head as the kiss deepened. You pulled away after a little less than a minute, catching your breath.

"What are you doing here? How— how did you afford it?" you asked a bit awkwardly, referring to his surgery as you noticed the implants on his ear.

"I had to sell my stuff." he shugged. "Guitars, synth, my car. Anything I could find, really." he chuckled sadly, lowering his head. Your face dropped at his words and a small silence settled in the room before he broke it with the smallest voice. "I'm sorry."

"Hey...there's nothing to apologise for." you said, lifting his chin up to peck his lips once again. He shook his head, refusing to make eye contact with you as tears welled up in his eyes. Then he climbed further up the bed silently, his back now resting against the headboard. You followed, situating yourself next to him.

"I ruined everything. The tour, the band, us." Everything."

"You didn't ruin anything. You couldn't control what happened, Matt. You know that." you tried to comfort him, scratching the back of his head with your fingertips. He scoffed a bit at your answer, still avoiding eye-contact.

"I can't get back to drumming, Y/N. I can never go back to how my life was before."

There was a pause before he finally dared to look at you. His eyes were red from holding back tears, cheeks streaked and flushed, the sight causing your face to visibly soften. You opened your mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Instead you looked down, fidgeting with the ring on your index finger and the room went silent. You knew things would never be the same, but you still took the news like a bullet. A couple more seconds passed and you took a small breath before climbing onto his lap gently.

A bitter, sad smile curved on your lips as you looked at him, hands cupping both sides of his head, gently rubbing your thumbs and occasionally wiping a few tears from his cheeks while you fought with great difficulty to hold yours in. First you kissed his forehead then you rested yours against it, noses brushing.

"I love you." you whispered, closing your eyes as you felt a tear escape and roll down your cheek. "I love you so much."

You pulled away just a bit and signed "I love you" to him in sign language to emphasise your words. He signed it back to you and you wrapped your arms around him, cradling his head against your chest as you mumbled comforting words, your hands rubbing his back and hair soothingly as you cried silently.

Clock Tower Siblings Part 3

And last but not least the sassy time Lord herself...Raja!

Now in some posts I say CW is the mom of all the cubs...but ...plot twist...hes not ! Dun dun dun!!!!!!!!!

CW is actually Rajas dad! Making Dan Rajas mom! Lol

Raja was born after a heat season came by 2 years after Kaen. CW didn't want to bottom and Dan didn't think he could get pregnate so he let CW top...lol. He did get pregs and had his time daughter. CW was super happy to finally have a cub resemble him. He was a good mom and dad same as Dan only that the kids got a bit confused at this and they all just call CW mommy and Dan daddy only Raja sometimes calls CW papa and Dan momma.

Raja is a daddy's girl loving to stay with CW most of the time while the boys love being with Dan.

Raja is an Arabic name meaning "ruler of" .

Rajas full name is Raja Chrona Phantom Work. Chrona is the female version of the Greek word Chronos meaning "time" so Rajas name means "Ruler of Time " lol

Raja is a sassy girl getting it from CW. She has power and knowledge and isn't afraid to use it. She is Kaens opposite. She loves meeting new people and can talk for hours! Even as a baby she would not be quiet. She rarely cried too always being a goofball cheerful child. She trained with CW eager to learn how to do her job as a time master and help her dad. CW let her but would always encourage her to play and be a child since he knew the observants would try to bound her down to the same rules as he is. Raja never did lol. She works by her own rules and of what her father showed her was right. And she's a good time keeper. Some even say she's better than CW but she believes her father is the best !

She does train in fighting. She knows marshal arts and weapon fighting. Her weapon is her time staff which can turn into a sythe. She can kick anyone's ass and isn't afraid of facing larger foes.

She loves looking pretty and uses make up. Her favorite accessory is a light purple cloak to match her father's.

She doesn't do things like CW does. CW uses 3 big viewing mirrors to see the past, present, and future. Raja is more practical and uses a handheld mirror to look into the time lines.

Raja didn't let her big brothers boss her around or try to protect her because she was the "small helpless little sister " Naw she let them know who was boss. In fact she was the one to always stand up for Kaen and protect her bros. The observants don't really like her because she's sassy and tough not letting them walk all over her and putting them in their place. She's not someone they can control she's free to do as she pleases. CW is very proud of her for this.

As time keeper Raja watches all timelines and out comes but she sometimes does interact with people or changes things because she can. She trys not to have preferences or favorites but sometimes a person becomes so interesting that she doesn't let any harm come to them. If you ever experience bad situations but get out of them easy and sometimes winning...thank Raja.

Raja likes hanging out in Nocturns castle and named every one of his Dream Walkers and Nightmares when she was little. They are all named after fruits and vegetables. Nocturn was devastated at his "scary" minions having non scary names...but he thinks it was very cute and sweet of her to do so.

Raja enjoys going out into the world to enjoy stuff. She will hide her ghostly self and go shopping and exploring places but never fails to do her job.

Raja is the smallest sibling in age but the second in height since she is taller than Kaen

Favorite food: Anything Dan cooks is her favorite

Favorite activities: watching over time , exploring, playing with her and lovers pets ((more on her lover in a bit)), being with said lover , time with Clockwork, kung fu work out , playing with her brothers, meeting new people and making new pals.

Favorite color : purple purple and more purple. Any shade will do

Favorite animal: every animal is her fave

Raja is the only one of the children that DOES have a cannon mate. That mate is Death my oc Death. Raja has always loves females and never feared the ghost of death. Her determination and strong will never let her give up in training to woo the older ghost until death accepted to go on a date. They have been in love ever since and Raja lives with her in the underworld. They have one beautful baby girl Catrina and are expecting a baby boy now.

Raja isn't fully mine since my rp partner came up with her. But since I helped give her depth I am allowed to use her.

my point about lyanna is that we don't know. maybe she was manipulated. we have no idea. concretely blaming her is unlike blaming dany for her white saviorism in slaver's bay. lyyanna was selfish but to act like she was definitely not caring for her fam based on circumstantial evidence, because that's what the evidence is, is wild when y'all excuse dany for things we see her do because her motives are good lmao I can't. blame Rhaegar all you want. he deserves it.

mentioning that we don’t have lyanna’s pov or that what we have is circumstantial evidence on what/when lyanna knew is excuses? I wonder what the yt people dany defense essays of her actions in slavers bay are. I was softening towards dany and her yt savior nonsense that got brown people killed bc of her mismanagement and had slaves sell themselves back into slavery. but if we’re taking an hardline position, then wonder what a defense of dany/slavers bay (book) is but an excuse of the outcome

Anon,

These are two separate asks but I because clearly you are the same anon and by the way you write I’m pretty sure I know who you are. Why don’t we get a few things straight and then you can leave my mailbox alone for all eternity

I see that you mentioned the books, which is fantastic because I can finally set you straight on your delusion that the Slaver’s Bay was only populated by people of color, which is untrue, it was mixed race. Slaves from the Free Cities, Qarth Lhazareen, Dothraki, etc. populated Slaver’s Bay.

Here, why don’t you read this, it’s straight from the horse’s (GRRM’s) mouth:

“And meanwhile, you’ve got Daenerys visiting more Eurasian and Middle Eastern cultures.

And that has generated its controversy too. I answer that one to in my blog. I know some of the people who are coming at this from a political or racial angle just seem to completely disregard the logistics of the thing here. I talk about what’s in the books. The books are what I write. What I’m responsible for.

Slavery in the ancient world, and slavery in the medieval world, was not race-based. You could lose a war if you were a Spartan, and if you lost a war you could end up a slave in Athens, or vice versa. You could get in debt, and wind up a slave. And that’s what I tried to depict, in my books, that kind of slavery.

So the people that Dany frees in the slaver cities are of many different ethnicities, and that’s been fairly explicit in the books. But of course when David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] and his crew are filming that scene [of Daenerys being carried by freed slaves], they are filming it in Morocco, and they put out a call for 800 extras. That’s a lot of extras. They hired the people who turned up. Extras don’t get paid very much. I did an extra gig once, and got like $40 a day.”

Finally, I can get that off my chest. Now, let’s address your other points, that I give Dany a pass because but won’t give Lyanna a pass because of her you. Let me say this for what it feels like the one thousandth time, Daenerys Targaryen has made many mistakes. This has never been a problem for me, it’s one of the reasons I love her so much.

Having said that, I have a hard time equating Dany’s mistakes with Lyanna’s mistakes. If you look at their upbringing, the education, the values they were thought, and the impetus behind their actions you see why this comparison falls short. So let’s look at the background for both Lyanna and Dany to see where these two young women are coming from.

Lyanna as the Lord Paramount’s daughter would have had an excellent education,��training as a lady, as well as a very stable upbringing. She was clearly allowed to indulge in the things she liked, such as riding and learning how to fight. Her father might not have approved of the fighting but he wasn’t against it enough to stop her from doing it. I think it’s safe to say that there was very little that Lyanna would have gone without while growing up at Winterfell.

We should all know Dany’s story by now but I’ll repeat for the benefit of those who constantly seem to forget it. A few days after she was born she had to be rescued because the new king of Westeros had sent his brother to her home in Dragonstone to assassinate her and her brother. They ended up in Braavos and for about four year’s she had a good life but then her care taker died and she and her brother were thrown out into the streets. They lived in the streets and on the kindness of strangers for the next nine years. Dany remembers sailing on ships at least 50 times in this time period, so there was a lot of moving around. She lived in nine of the Free Cities and can remember times when buying a sausage was a luxury. Throughout all this, she lived in fear because her brother believed that king Robert was sending assassins after them. Her training and education were handled exclusively by her brother and whatever she thought herself through books she would read while staying with some rich benefactor who would take them in for a few months. Whatever sense of right and wrong she learned she did so on her own because clearly, Viserys had a very skewed view on those.

Before we continue we should note that there is an age difference between the two, at this point in the series (the end of ADWD) Dany has just turned 16 year’s old and Lyanna, who died at 16, died close to her 17th birthday. But if we want to find a point of comparison, Lyanna was running away with Rhaegar around the same time Dany was conquering Slaver’s Bay. So, let’s look at these two events to see the difference in their actions.

Let’s start with Lyanna. We all know the general story and we are going to assume, given some information we have, that Lyanna ran away willingly with Rhaegar. She could have done it for a variety of reasons but whatever the reason it falls into one of three categories, she was in love with Rhaegar and wanted to be with him, she bought into the prophecy of TPTWP and thought she would save the world by doing whatever she needed to do to make that happen, or she was so against her upcoming wedding with Robert that she would rather run away. I know there is another theory of maybe Aerys finding out her identity and going after her, but that’s when you run home to Winterfell and have your dad and your betrothed sort that out.

Looking at Lyanna’s background and support system and what we are told about her she was a very strong-willed and clever girl. Even taking into account her being in love, or believing in a prophecy or not wanting to get married to Robert, I can’t imagine that the ramifications of her actions never crossed her mind. She was raised a noblewoman, she was around nobles her whole life, the actions that she decided to embark upon would have been considered disastrous by any standard. And if she was taking a calculated risk for say the good of the world, she must have known that her family was not just going to sit at Winterfell and do nothing.

I do take into consideration Lyanna’s age and that a person her age is also highly impulsive, but that still doesn’t absolve her of culpability. She is still responsible for her actions whether they were impulsive or not. In addition to all this is the amount of time she was gone, she didn’t get pregnant right away, at least 4 months had gone by before that happened. And of course I put most of the blame of Rhaegar, he was the adult in that situation, he had a wife and children, a father who he knew was mad, and it was his decision to run away with a young, unmarried girl, who happens to be the daughter of a Lord Paramount and she’s also engaged to another noble. Rhaegar being mainly responsible for what happens still doesn’t absolve Lyanna of her part in this mess and the destruction that took place because of her and Rhaegar’s actions.

If Lyanna’s actions are night, let’s go to the day and briefly review Dany’s actions. So you have this girl who’s recently lost her brother, husband, and child and has no more family and no support system at all. She’s 15 year’s old, on her own, and she actually finds herself responsible for other people. Because she has no family and her father and older brother almost extinct their House, she feels responsible for avenging her family and recovering what was theirs. She goes to Slaver’s Bay to get herself and army, but while she’s there she sees that she has landed in the pit of hell. Little boys being mutilated, babies being murdered in order to train the Unsullied, children slathered in honey and thrown at bears for the amusement of the Master and just general slavery disgustingness.

So, Dany having been sold herself and not appreciating the experience decides to do something about it, because “you know what? This ain’t right”. So she concocts a plan and voila Dracarys Motherfuckers. Now, a lot of Dany’s mistakes stem from how she left Astapor, which she left with a ruling council but without any defense and then the mistakes she made in Meereen. And while Dany’s actions did cause a great deal of death and destruction ultimately hundreds of thousands of people were freed from slavery and therefore free to chose their own choices. And in addition, her actions started a revolution in Volantis which will ultimately free hundreds of thousands of more people, if successful. Which means that in the long run millions of people would potentially be saved from continuing to be slaves or becoming slaves in the future.

Can you see the difference in their actions and the outcome of their actions? If Rhaegar and Lyanna did what they did because of a prophecy, their actions were based on a belief which neither of them could prove was real. And in the meantime thousands upon thousand of people died, lives were ruined, families destroyed. And while you can turn around and say thousands died in Dany’s revolution, I can then turn around and say but hundreds of thousands more lived and were saved from a life of slavery. At the end of the day, people had hope when they might not have had hope before.

Their actions are not comparable, no matter which way you cut it.
