Hazbin Hotel Master List

Make You Wish Master List

A/N I accidentally posted this before I was ready tooo ahhhh!!! it's fine. Everything was already written I just had to format it properly and stuff.

Alastor had been at the Hazbin Hotel for only a few days and was already enjoying his time there greatly. It was an entertaining place, to say the least, and now that he had his feet under him, he was intent on making it even more so.

Charlie was pacing around the sitting room, stressed beyond belief. She had gone to speak to Adam the previous day to try and get his support for her plan, only to wind up with the news that the next extermination was coming in six moths, rather than the usual twelve. Alastor watched her duress in amusement as he sauntered into the hotel lobby, side stepping Angel, Charlie, and Vaggie to take a seat at the bar.

"It's nothing we can't handle," Charlie was explaining, trying to convince herself as much as anyone else in the room, "just angels cutting our timetable in half. But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right? And next time, when they cut the time in half again and again, we'll just handle it, right?!"

Vaggie got to her feet, grabbing her girlfriend by the shoulders and stopping her from her relentless pacing.

"Yes, we will." she confirmed.

"Oh please," Angel cut in from the couch, his eyes fixed on his phone, "ya had less than half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now...? Ain' no silver lining this time, toots."

"Sure there is." Charlie turned to him, "We just have to look a little harder for it."

"Well, while you're lookin', the rest of Hell is going nuts."

Angel turned his phone to Charlie, showing all the news headlines of terror he'd pulled up.

"People are already freaking out about the news. Look at what's happening in the Doomsday District."

He scrolled down to a video of a burning town just as a text notification popped up.

"Uh, what is a 'donkey show'?" Charlie asked in confusion, having read the text.

"Ah, heh, nothing." Angel pulled the phone from her line of sigh, trying to come up with a quick lie, "My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too. Like I said, everyone's losing their shit."

"Yeah, that is true." Vaggie hummed thoughtfully, a hand to her chin, "Sinners are desperate. Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape extermination?"

"Speaking of sinners," Alastor said, drawing the attention in the room to him as he turned towards Husk who was busying cleaning glasses, "I think it's time I look up my old partner in crime."

"And what do I have to do with that?" the cat demon gruffly replied, not sparing Alastor a glance.

"Your partner in crime?" Charlie asked, taking a step towards the bar, "I always thought you... you know, worked alone?"

Alastor's grin widened.

"Oh never you mind, dear." he replied, throwing her a glance over his shoulder, "Just a lost soul I'm acquainted with is all."

"Yeah. You've been trying to get her to sell you that soul for what, the past seventy years is it now?" Husk scoffed.

Alastor's eye twitched slightly at the implication of his failure.

"If I wanted it, I would have it." he hummed threateningly, and Husk backed down.

"That's great!" Charlie exclaimed, "So she's a friend of yours? Do you think she'd help with the hotel? Oh! Or maybe that she'd want to be a guest?!"

"Charlie-" Vaggie began but Alastor quickly cut her off.

"I don't see a harm in asking." he cheerily replied.

"And you know her, Husk?" Charlie asked.

He looked up as he placed a clean glass on the shelf, shooting Alastor a glance before nodding.

"Do you think she'd be a good fit?"

He sighed, crossing his arms as Husk turned to face Charlie fully.

"She's a sweetheart, I think you'd get along well." he admitted, "But she's trouble, just like him."

Husk gestured towards Alastor and Charlie's smile widened.

"Well, with all Alastor has done for us so far, I think we could probably use more trouble like him."

"Oh you flatter me." Alastor waved her off, looking away in a false show of humility.

"No really." Charlie insisted, "You-"

"Show yourself, Alastor!" a dramatic call cut Charlie off mid thought.

----

"Um. Alastor?" Charlie hesitantly began, peeking out from behind his shoulder as she watched the havoc he was wreaking on the snake shaped sinner, "I think he's had enough."

Alastor cackled joyfully, not even watching as his shadows destroyed the air ship.

"Nah, he's got a few more hits in 'im." Angle disagreed, enjoying the show immensly.

The shadows tilted the ship forward, dropping Sir Pentious out through the broken windshield. He hit the ground with a thud, right before Alastor's feet. Stopping in his fit of laughter, he looked down at the man, spinning his microphone like a baton.

"Thanks for another forgettable experience." he teased as one of the egg creatures fell from the ship, splattering on the ground beside Charlie who took a step away.

"Thank... you..." Sir Pentious began, his voice pained as he raised his head slowly, "for letting your guard down!"

Almost before Alastor could register what was happening, the snake had grabbed onto his coat with his tail and torn a piece from its hem. Alastor took a menacing step forward, his eyes narrowed.

"Oh shit." Pentious' triumphant laughter died out.

Slowly, Alastor sprouted a pair of shadowy horns. With a snap of his finger, the ground under the snake detonated, throwing him up into the air and far away from the hotel with a scream. He watched as Pentious flew away, retracting his horns and standing with a hand behind his back. Once the snake was out of sight, he at last turned to Charlie and Angel, as well as Husk and Vaggie who had come out to join them.

"Well, it looks as thought I need a visit to the tailor." he hummed, "Husk?"

"Yeah?" Husk grunted.

"Where did you say she was again?"

"I didn't."

Husk crossed his arms defensively and Alastor took a step towards him, his smile a little smaller than normal. There was an odd air between the two of them, a tension every one present could feel biting into their skins.

"Whats that?" Alastor asked lowly, his head cocked slightly to the side.

Husk sighed.

"Last I heard she was working for some imp in Pentagram City." Husk reluctantly admitted, looking away, "As an assassin or something, I don't know the details."

"An imp, you say." Alastor thoughtfully replied, his expression unreadable.

"Look, Alastor." Husk turned back to his master, "Don't fuck this up for her. She seemed pretty happy last time I saw her. You disappearing like that wrecked the poor girl."

"Just means she'll be all the more happy to see me."

Alastor turned, beginning to walk away. At the sound of Husk speaking again, he paused, keeping his back to the quartet.

"Alastor, ju-"

Alastor turned his head, shooting Husk a critical look over his shoulder. It shut the cat demon up almost immedeatly.

"Best of luck, chums!"

"Wait, you're leaving?" Vaggie exclaimed, taking a step forward.

Irritation prickling beneath his skin, Alastor turned back to them once again. It had been seven years, he didn't know how much longer he could wait. Sure, he'd had time in Hell on his own, nearly twenty years of it. He didn't need her per-say, she just made things more interesting, more enjoyable. It just felt odd for them to be parted.

Sure, when they had first met, he had thought she was just an easy steal of a soul. Young, naive, frankly undeserving in his opinion of eternal damnation. But smart, smarter than she looked. Y/n had refused any and all deals with the man and so, he had taken it as a challenge. What had begun as a game: Alastor trying to gain ownership of Y/n's soul ended up as an after-life long friendship.

Alastor would never admit it to anyone but, in his absence, he had even missed Y/n the smallest bit. She kept things interesting, he told himself, that was all. Always causing discreet mischief, always quick with a joke. A true pleasure to have on the show, as he always used to say.

"Alastor, we need your help. We need you to do your job." Vaggie continued.

"We need a wall." Angel finished for her, gesturing to the portion of the hotel Sir Pentious had destroyed in his attack.

"Of course." Alastor replied, keeping an irritated remark at bay, "Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?"

With a snap of his fingers, minions made of shadows pulled themselves from the ground at his feet. So as not to give anyone another chance to stall him further, he quickly turned on his heel and walked off.

Alastor was a man of image, he kept his pace slow and firm. Couldn't have any of them getting any ideas in their heads about the nature of his relationship with Y/n. That had always been trouble in the old days. The minute people saw the pair together, they started assuming things. He had already decided he was going to be more careful about that this time around and this was the first step.

There was a slight bounce in his step as he headed into the city's center, an odd anticipation fluttering in his chest. Alastor pushed it to the side. It was simply the thrill of being back in his old stomping ground that was to blame. It didn't matter he'd already been back a few days and it should have worn off by now, he should just feel lucky to still be so entertained by this place he'd known longer than he'd even been alive. Right?

----

Y/n was sitting at Blitzo's desk, reading through paperwork he had neglected to fill out or file correctly. It wasn't like any one in Hell really payed their taxes, but the mess still stressed her out. She let out a sigh, leaning back in her chair and rubbing her eyes in irritation. She had never had to do this type of work before, not since she'd been alive anyways. How the times had changed.

Noise of Blitzo and Moxxie fighting filtered in through the closed door. It wasn't anything special, anything new. The pair were always at one another's throats, she wasn't worried. What would be worrying, was if things were quiet. This was just the way life sounded now: inelegant and brazen. Nothing like it used to.

The buzzing of her phone on the desk beside her pulled Y/n from her reveries and she picked it up. The collar lay heavy around her neck as she read the message. Y/n had made some bad choices along the way, figuring out how to be on her own. She wasn't pleased with them, but it was what she had had to do. Back then, she hadn't had the need to fight for herself in over sixty years. It was the only thing she could think to do.

She double tapped the text, marking it with a thumbs up before shutting her phone off and leaning her head down on the table. There was no point in wishing for things to be different than they were but, it was just that time of year and the text had pushed her over the edge. A few stray tears trickled out of her eyes.

"Goddamnit, Al." she sighed into the empty room, "Where the hell are you."

Silence pressed its hands against her ears, blurring her perception of the world around her. Y/n had a few seconds, a few nearly peaceful moments before, again, her thoughts were interrupted. This time, not by her phone but by Blitzo calling for her from the other room.

"Y/n!" he yelled and she lifted her head off the table.

"Yeah?" she called back through the closed door.

"Get your ass out here!"

"Why? A client? Can't you handle it?"

"Y/n!" he insisted again, a sense of urgency to his voice.

If this was anything less than an absolute emergency, he was never going to hear the end of it. She was not in the mood for his games today.

"Fine." she groaned and pulled herself from the chair, "I'm coming."

It's okay not to answer, I know it's broad territory, but I really respect you as an artist and writer. How do you handle people misinterpreting or missing elements of your work, especially when they may still enjoy it and get something out of it? As an artist I'm struggling lately with knowing my work will always inherently be read differently from what I intended as a matter of the human experience, as well as me being autistic complicating my ability to communicate.

An addition to that last ask. I don't know if it's clear what I'm asking so I'll give some examples. A 50 year old man and a 21 year old woman will get different things from a movie due to their lived experiences. As a gentile reader I might miss jewish narrative themes in a piece of work. That doesn't mean it's bad for us to have experienced it, but as an author I find it frustrating when something is missed or misinterpreted, and I don't know how not to be a control freak about it.

i feel you, i have ocpd and being misinterpreted when i agonized and stressed about how to present my wording makes me want to light myself on fire and it's something i'm working on. writers are supposed to expect and account for different perspectives ahead of time, so it always sort of shocks me when i hear interpretations i wouldn't have thought about at all. i know logically i can't predict all outcomes, but it's still surprising anyway!!! but i generally feel a lot of distress about being misinterpreted because i'm afraid it'll label me as A Bad Person, so i think that's where the experience diverges. maybe investigating why you need to or want to control the way your work is interpreted would help as a starting point? i think having a larger audience helps, too... it means more people will misinterpret your work, but it also means you're more likely to have at least One Guy who interprets it just right and makes fireworks go off in your brain, but there's no way to control how big your audience is!

anyway, the ways to control how your work is interpreted, to the degree that you can:

you can make it simpler. the more parts a story has added to its complexity, the more it's going to be misinterpreted.

you can make the intended message more blatant. you can have a character say exactly what you want the audience to think or hear, or something very close to it. don't want a detail missed? make it bigger.

you can reprioritize parts of the story. basically think of a group of interpretations you want the audience to have if you can, and then put them in order of importance. then the story has a hierarchy to lean on wrt artistic decisions.

you can give the story multiple meanings. more targets to hit. if they're mutually exclusive, i find this works better... i like making my stories ambiguous with conflicting interpretations a lot. yeah, people are going to interpret the story wrong, because it was made in a way that will guarantee it is interpreted wrong in some way.

you can layer the meaning so that less literate audience members will at least get SOME of what you intended. basically, close to the previous strategy, but like a hybrid of that and "make it simpler" imo because you're constructing multiple interpretations that are all supposed to lead to one conclusion (like a persuasive essay or something), but can act as an adequate conclusion on their own.

all of these options have obvious qualitative losses. if you have anything in particular that is repeatedly misinterpreted or missed, it's a good idea to think about Why you're making those choices. consciously committing to a higher-risk artistic choice will help you feel more in control of what happens to it once it's done. the way your art is interpreted isn't totally out of your control, you are making decisions that add to or mitigate the risk of misinterpretations, and you can bring those choices to a more conscious awareness to see them and appreciate them. sometimes it'll feel like a begrudging compromise, but it'll still be Your choice ultimately.

on an emotional level... hopefully this makes sense. there's always going to be the piss-on-the-poor scenario and sometimes i just remind myself that some people are not as literate as me, but it's great we were still able to connect through a work that was probably difficult for them!!! it was a privilege to get to grow up with a good education, access to art and technology, strangers who want to look at what i made, and there are times where i take this for granted, and my expectations of readers are actually kind of unreasonable!!! some people are younger than me and say stupid things like i did, but they aren't able to understand things like me yet, and it's important for them to learn by figuring it out on their own!!! i was and will always be That Guy to other artists and other writers, and i want to give other people the same grace as i get. some people have wildly different life experiences compared to mine, and these experiences can be much more nuanced than i could ever imagine, but it's a little gift that they made my world larger by sharing theirs through my art!!! it's terrifying and embarrassing knowing that i don't know much of anything, even about something i have total control over, but the consequences of that aren't always negative. and possibly the saddest but most common way i deal with this is nothing more than accepting that no one is ever going to understand me on the level that i want to be understood. sometimes my frustration has come from a place of miserable alienation, where the need to feel Seen can be quite desperate. i've made art explicitly about Me, and i've made art deliberately hostile towards its audience, art that's said they don't get it and they never will, but they still bothered to try. i made a game that said no one will win here and they still played it with me, and i can appreciate that. in many cases, they actually know more about me than i know about them. but more importantly, it isn't my audience's job to take care of that emotional need -- in fact, as much as art is made out to be a mode of pure self-expression, i don't think they can. it's a reality that i don't like, but i accept it. art made to benefit others is a one-way mirror: you make them feel seen, but they should never see you, because if they see you, the mirror isn't working.

Hello! I hope you're well, if you don't mind, could I get some brotherly headcanons for Arcade, Hancock, Fawkes and Gob with an 18 yr old female or gender neutral reader (your choice really for gender)? Perhaps they could help the reader through the early stages of adulthood?

Thank you so much, have a good day/night/evening!

Brother!Arcade, Hancock, Fawkes, and Gob With a Teen!Reader

➼ Word Count » 0.7k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Genre » Platonic

Arcade gets more and more stressed with every passing day. You're getting older, and he's dreading the day you ask to travel on your own. He's got to let go at some point, sure, but he doesn't think he'll ever get over the fear that you'll be injured, or worse, sold into slavery. The first thing he's going to do is drill medical advice into your head, that way you'll be prepared for just about every occasion. God, it's hot out here. Is he sweating? He just can't seem to get over you becoming independent. As long as you're careful. He wants to go with you but doesn't want to come off as overbearing. You have to do your own thing at some point, autonomy is important and he needs to learn to let go. At the end of his mini freak out, he'll hug you, hand you a bag full of stimpaks, and make you promise to not get involved with anyone who could be considered even slightly dangerous or untrusting.

Hancock is the least responsible compared to the others. He's reckless, violent, and an addict, but that doesn't mean he's hopeless. He gives you tons of freedom for self-discovery. Wanna try jet? Sure, here you are. Wanna learn to shoot a gun? Let him grab Kleo. He'll never be one to prevent you from trying something out. That being said, he'd rather you leave anything more... 'hands-on' to him. You haven't seen the Commonwealth like he has, and he'd prefer to keep it that way. You don't need to see the darker parts of the world. Another benefit of being as close as you are with Hancock is that everyone in Goodneighbor treats you like the little sibling they've never had. Of course, some are resentful (Bobbi), but most will gladly break a few bones if they ever need to. When facing adulthood, Hancock just tells you to stay as free as you can. Pave your own paths and whatnot. Growing up is different for everyone, but you shouldn't let that deter you. Just live as you want, do a bit of community service here and there, and you should be fine.

Fawkes thinks it's admirable that someone so young is surviving out in the waste, however, he'll quickly put an end to you traveling on your own. You're far too young to be facing everything on your own and he is much too willing to fill in for the missing guardian role. He'd be so ready to die for you, shielding you from anything hostile that comes your way. It's rare for someone your age to still be alive and he'd never take that for granted. Anytime he can, he'll ensure you're safe and relatively unharmed. Adulthood's a weird transition, and he'll gladly be there to hold your hand every step of the way so you feel ready and prepared for when you have to face it on your own. You shouldn't be afraid of the unknowns in your life, although, he isn't all too worried you'll have any problems at all. You're strong and quick to adapt, just look at how well you handled leaving the Vault for the first time. If you still feel a bit uncertain, he's always glad to help you through everything.

The first thing Gob would try to teach you is to never get caught up in debt and never to go near Moritarity's. He's so scared that his boss will find a way to trap you into his business like he did to Gob and he'd rather you didn't lose so many years of your life doing something so mundane. Every time Nova tells him she spotted you enter Megaton, he'll quickly leave his post behind the bar and gently tell you to return to the Underworld where it's safe. Carol and Greta will care for you, so go back there, won't you? He feels bad. He wants to travel with you and try to help you navigate your life in the wasteland, but he can't afford to be beaten again, so he opts to try and finish his debt quickly. That way he can be out there with you and make sure you're doing alright. He might be a nervous wreck at the best of times, but he cares for you just as much as he does anyone in his makeshift family.

Executive Cucumber's thoughts on the Bad Batch episode 3×08 (spoilers after the cut)

Forgive me if these thoughts are less coherent than usually, I'm pretty freaking tired atm. Thoughts are as much in order as I can manage.

Firstly, this episode was a much needed, lower emotionally charged break from the last...seven episodes of the season. The thing about stories is that they can't be running at warp 9 the entire time. It will burn your audience out. Heck, I'm at a lower energy, transitiatory part of my long fic. So yeah, this episode didn't cause the emotional damage and stress that the last 7 did, but that's a good thing.

Omega has the neurodivergent ✨️leg jiggle✨️

Poor dear needs a hug and for someone to free the Tantiss clones.

PHEE MY QUEEN

Crosshair's face when Omega says 'liberator of ancient wonders' I love him.

Okay, I know that a lot of people are upset about Phee not being more emotional about Tech. I've got a few thoughts on that. My expectations going into the scene with her was that she wasn't going to be mentioning Tech. So when she did, I was really happy. She doesn't need to bring him up in the conversation, but she does.

So let's dive a little deeper into this. There are only two people who have brought up Tech without any prompting so far: Echo and Phee. Omega only mentions him when it's a direct answer to Crosshair's question. Hunter, Crosshair, and Wrecker have not mentioned him once by name. Now, I think this is because Echo and Phee have both known loss and know better how to handle it. The rest of the Batch hasn't, before Tech. We have watched practically all of Echo's loss, but not Phee's. However, we know that Pabu is a place for refugees, which Phee likely is. She's lost at least a home, if not family and friends. Add on top of that Phee is just in general a world wide person, and I think we can assume that she's someone who's got a more healthy way of processing grief than our emotionally stunted soldiers.

Something that you do with people that you've loved and lost is remember them. That's what I see Phee doing here. She's managed to process her grief in the last 4 months, and she's keeping the memory of someone she cared about alive by mentioning him in conversation.

So yeah. I liked that scene and it warmed my Tech/Phee loving heart.

Anyways,

Oooooh Fennec!!!

I love Crosshair not knowing anything but it also makes me sad.

Hunter: try to get Crosshair to get his hand looked at

Omega: what do you mean 'try'

Thoughts on Crosshair and Omega scenes:

What did my poor boy go through????

Poor man is probably resisting the idea that it's in his head because he already HAD a thing in his head that ruined his life

Omega: you don't like anything

Crosshair: true

Your honor I would die for them. Also I find his 'true' to be a little sad (and adorable)

OMG THEY'RE MEDITATING (and they have somehow stolen YET ANOTHER thing from my fic, this time before I've even gotten past the concept stage)

Omega: you missed a lot

Crosshair: I know

He's thinking of Tech in that moment.

Oh my gosh her hand on his and how he lets her move his hand THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL ME.

The Bad Batch says take care of your mental

Thoughts about Space Everglades:

I really loved Wrecker this episode. He really got to shine. He has the most banter with Fennec, he gets to do his demo thing, he freaking curb stomps space alligators, and he's the MVP in getting the bug man. It was really nice. Also, 'YOU HEARD ME!!!!' Let Wrecker go feral.

Bro, I really liked the bar music. I like seeing more of the music that plays in universe.

Wrecker and Hunter are definitely having flashbacks to Cid this entire episode. Except Fennec gives them more intel.

Fennec is a delight as always.

My prediction to who she's selling them out to? Ventress. And I don't think Ventress' intentions are bad.

So yeah, a solid episode! I'm honestly probably going to leave a lot of the star wars subreddits just to avoid everyone and their dog complaining about filler. Which this was NOT.

And as the next episode is called the Harbinger, I feel like this might be one of our last breaths before the plunge and everything goes sideways.

Oh, and in case you forgot. Tech lives ❤️

Note

hope this isn't asking for too much, but do you have any headcanons that you could make about a relationship between Natsu, Gajeel and Laxus? always though those three would work together....

Natsu x Gajeel x Laxus, Part 1 of ?

So, a preliminary statement:

We would all like to hope for the ideal throuple i.e. everyone gets together because they're all similarly attracted and into each other, and there's no drama. And we'd also like to imagine that we're above stories of love triangles and envy. But that's not the way this one happens, nor would it be as interesting. We're gonna go at this one mostly from Gajeel's POV.

Gajeel and his attraction to Laxus has been rough enough on its own, okay? My personal headcanon is that Gajeel thought he was straight as recently as when he joined Fairy Tail. Finding out you like men, ideally, shouldn't be so threatening...but Gajeel is a rough-looking hypermasculine punk whose ego is very prominent. And Laxus is an even more rough-looking hypermasculine punk with uhhh rage issues and their first meeting was basically Laxus beating the living shit out of him.

Yeah, that's how we're going with it--Gajeel had to go through the same 'oh god the guy who beat me up is hot' thing that Levy went through, except with added internalized homophobia. Couldn't he like someone less threatening? Have awkward dreams about, I dunno, Gray, or Freed, or Nats--nope, not that one, that'd be awful too.

And luckily for him, Laxus is a loner and also an asshole and also not good at making friends, so at least they're in the same boat. He doesn't have to worry about anyone else having the guts to actually approach his crush. Fuck you mean 'Gajeel doesn't either'? Mind your business.

You get it, it's a source of a lot of stress for him. He feels very awkward and weird about his crush on Laxus and it clashes a lot with who he presents himself as and who he wants to be, and so there's a lot of stress associated with it for him.

It's looking up for him right around the time Laxus rejoins the guild and has to actually interact with people and he's much calmer, which means if he can stop choking over it, Gajeel might can actually make a move.

Which means that by the time he figures out that Natsu is trying to put the moves on his crush, he...basically detonates. Like, he does not handle it well, at all. You've just started to think he might be getting over his vicious rivalry with Salamander and might be calming down when he gets wind of the fact he and Salamander like the same guy. Nope, fuck that, fuck all of that, every last bit of it, Salamander can go suck some other dick.

Of course it's fucking Natsu, right? Dude blew his old guild to smithereens, knocked him unconscious, basically re-homed him to his own guild, consistently outshines and out-competes him for attention, and now he can't even let Gajeel thirst for another man in peace.

So it's a lot of toxic behavior and outward hostility and hair-trigger temper while Gajeel basically tries to simultaneously keep Natsu from pursuing and also deny that he has any sort of feelings for Laxus whatsoever, because that'd be weak as hell, no thank you. Everybody notices and it kinda freaks out onlookers in the guild, who thought Gajeel was over his hyper-aggressive early days.

Of course, poor Laxus, having not one but two machismo-driven idiots who don't know a thing about romance both crushing on him, because you can guarantee Natsu, while he might be more forward with pursuing a crush, is just as clueless as Gajeel. So Laxus, unawares while this is all starting to brew, is basically watching two guys he's actually rather fond of damn near beating each other to death whenever they're in the same room.

It gets bad enough that Laxus has to basically separate them and pin Gajeel to the ground when he starts a fight and Natsu is getting pretty badly hurt. Like he has to pull Gajeel off of Natsu and tells him to his face he's gonna lay down the law himself if he does it again, and demands to know what the fuck is up. Gajeel stays silent.

Of course, Laxus doesn't let that slide. Corners him and drags him off to some isolated location later, so he can wheedle the answers out of Gajeel. It's not like they don't have an understanding between each other, they can trust each other, right? So why's Gajeel being all silent and clammed up. Finally, Gajeel almost spits it:

"Salamander wants you."

Drama, mess, and dysfunction will continue in a part 2~!

#laxus dreyar #gajeel redfox #natsu dragneel #laxeel #laxsu #naxjeel #<- that's the tag i'm using i guess. naxjeel.#makes sense to me.#laxus x natsu x gajeel #fairy tail headcanons #headcanons

Unpopular opinions.. :,)

[TW!! Mentions of pedophilia, abuse and rape]

1- Honestly? I absolutely despise Crescent x Palette. This is the one thing I really hate about Crest, him showing romantic love towards a FUCKING MINOR- Otherwise he's a pretty great guy, but did he really have to catch feelings for Palette? He's freaking 25 for fucks sake.

"God did say, love is love.."

"And jail is jail."

I fucking ADORE Lux for saying that! <3 Though she is the villain in this story, she did the right thing for once and stood up against this. What in the world would possibly make pedophilia okay?!

The fact Palette reciprocates though..And even ended up dating him in another timeline.

I'm sorry, it's just- ew.. I'm glad he stops hanging out with Crescent but I hate the fact he still does like the priest. Crescent should honestly put his morals before his desires and get rid of his feelings for Palette.

I know I made this ship happen in the Good Ending of Sunflower AU, but it was only for lore purposes for this ending's future arc. Imagine it like a choice in a videogame, that leads to a certain route: Palette chooses Crescent, thus Arti becomes queen and ends up catching the Hanahaki disease, out of her love for Palette. And now Crescent has left too and she can't handle all the stress of being all by herself. And this is where Neon steps in to save Artemis.

Other than that, I absolutely hate this ship and it makes me super uncomfortable. Also one of the reasons why the Good Ending isn't canon.

I feel terrible for making it canon in the good ending but I need that future arc lore man- Or, yk, might change stuff. That seems like the better option.

2-Believe it or not, I actually started to like Killer.

She's portrayed pretty well, and her reactions to trauma seem very realistic to me.

I would react that way if I was tricked that my son was a monster that killed my other son. I would be in shambles mentally and always on guard if I experienced the same traumas Killer did.

While indeed, I don't find her mean comments pleasant, can I really blame her? She never asked to be put in this situation and she was already mentally unstable before Cor.Nightmare suddenly fell for her and forced his way into her.

She's trying to be a good mother to kids that remind her too much of her abuser. (-Merciless I guess.)

Like..damn. This woman has gone through a lot already, she deserves some peace and hope.

Hehe..get it?

:,)

3-Sometimes I wish Cross and Cor.Nightmare didn't do such huge fuck-ups.

I..honestly don't know what to think of them. I shouldn't like them. They've both done the most unforgiving stuff ever and I fucking hate them for that.

I feel bad for Cor.Nightmare due to what he endured in the past, he reminds me so much of Mateo from that Homesick webtoon. I just- have mixed feelings towards Corrupted. I HATE ITTTT..-

And Cross? If it weren't for the fact that he genuinely seems like that one uncle who's fucked up BADLY and was kicked out of the family but somewhat does regret everything he's done, and that in The Sunflower AU I ship him with Albedo/Wicked, he'd be dead to me-

I feel like a horrible person for SORT OF tolerating these two..UGHHH-

4- This isn't really an opinion, more like a question- I've always wondered, WHY is Lux so mad at Palette that she wants him dead? Like- what is going on, what did he do that did so much damage?

Passive definitely has part in this mess, that's for sure. And I know Palette was a bratty kid at the time who always spouted bad words unknowingly, because that's how small his brain was back then- Was the situation THAT bad..?- Like- Damn-

5-And finally, I want to express my genuine opinion on Drop's crush on Merciless..

WHO IS TEACHING HER THESE STUFF- Istfg if it is Goth encouraging her I won't be surprised- I am sending the nuclear bombs on that white-haired Karen-looking bitch

I am in my silly goofy mood right now and I feel like DESTROYING-

Someone, anyone, for the love of god, please, she's precious, but fucking get these stuff out of the 10 year old's brain-

Merciless, Ink, Dream, Hope, PALETTE, I am looking at you, tell her this is wrong- Don't let her become like her future self in E.L.A's good ending- Please- SOBS-

Anywho, yes I wish Drop didn't like Merciless romantically and try to get his attention like that..- But she's just a kid, maybe she'll learn in the Surprise Ending..-

E.L.A and all it's characters belong to @anotherrosesthatfell

I was in my silly goofy mood, Rose- I don't mean to insult, just pointing out some stuff I don't like in E.L.A. Other than these, I think the AU and characters are pretty well-written.

My thoughts on episode 3

SPOILERS for season 3, episode 3 of the Animaniacs reboot

No beating around the bush, I LOVED IT!

The first segment was funny and interesting. I love seeing snippets of the Warners' everyday lives. Even if this goes against all the headcanons I held of them. I mean, why would a rambunctious group of kids living together with no rules wake up at 6 AM?!

Here I am writing this at noon after having woken up an hour ago. Wait, didn't they say something about writers being nocturnal?

It's consistent with episode 1- "You'll have to wake up pretty early to catch the Warners." followed by "WHO WAKES UP AT 4AM?" (Two hours before when the Warners apparently wake up.)

Wakko's a little cutie in this episode. We finally have a hard number on how much food he eats a day- 20,000 calories. Seems low, honestly.

When this part happened, I got upset.

Damn you, narrator! Can't you just let our kids get some sustenance in peace?

I LOVED seeing the Warners pull off some Looney Tunes antics!

This image was really funny to me, with Dwayne's huge teethy smile and profits shooting up around him. I wonder if they knew how topical it would be? Having The Rock in a super hero franchise? (They knew Black Adam would be coming out, but they probably didn't know it would flop.) This season seems to be on point with the pop culture timing so far, as opposed to the first two seasons seeming out of date at times.

I liked seeing the in-universe realities of toon creation. First, the new toon being born, the pitch failing, and then it just being thrown on the streets.

It's a nice bit of world building for an aspect of their universe they usually ignore, especially in Animaniacs. I mean, if you're writing an Animaniacs fanfiction and you need an original villain, that's the go-to backstory. A toon who was abandoned and thrown on the streets, now jealous of the Warners' success. It also proves that there are toons in that world who aren't famous TV stars and probably just live normal lives. Heck, it proves that probably the vast majority of toons in that world aren't TV stars who made it big. There's far more pitches that fail than pitches that succeed in the animation industry.

And then the very next shot is this, showing the Warners up in their warm, dry tower eating hot food.

That's... interesting. I feel like it's trying to say something. Like the Warners don't have it that bad compared to most toons. Or that they're aloof in some ways. I wouldn't like the latter, if that's the implication. The Warners are definitely meant to be characters who are among* and sympathize with the downtrodden.

The end of the short asks us to watch Animaniacs, every day. I'm way ahead of you there, buddy.

The Pinky and the Brain segment was good. I liked their dynamic, with Brain being forced to coddle Pinky for once. I also found it hilarious whenever Pinky would get stressed. He takes on such a different personality.

I liked Brain's impressions. Shoutout to Maurice LaMarche, doing his impression of Orson Welles as the Brain doing poor impressions of Christopher Lloyd and Morgan Freeman while still having it sound like the Brain. Also doing Orson Welles as the Brain doing an impression of Orson Welles. I'm sure I'm far from the first person to have typed that sentence by now.

The tickle fight was cute. I was honestly grossed out by Pinky sucking on Brain's finger. Their bare little rat hands have always kind of creeped me out.

So yeah, good segment.

So about the first joke in the next segment, I have a lot to say. First off-

Wait, sorry, I'm being reminded that this is a SFW blog.

...

...........!!!

I could freak out in all caps, but I know others have handled that for me already. It's what I've been asking for in the reboot. Jokes that make you question if they can say that, if they should say that. Stuff right on the very edge of what's acceptable. Heck, this might not even be on the edge. Some people might say it's over it. I haven't seen the general reaction and I won't for seven more days.

I love how they knew what you'd be trying to look at for the rest of the episode, and in every single frame they carefully obscured the bottom of that poster so you can't see it.

I know my reaction here might be disappointing. Truthfully, I was spoiled on this joke. But while it's what everyone will focus on, I just have to gush about the rest of this segment!!!

For one, the concept in general of the Warners framing fanart is super cute. I was going to write a chapter for Wakko's World exactly along those lines. I was beaten to the punch.

For two, the song is AMAZING!!! WAKKO'S SINGING. GLORIOUS.

I have never dropped an f-bomb on this blog. But

Why the FUCK don't we get to hear Wakko's singing voice more often?! I legitimately got tears in my eyes from how hard I was smiling during his part. It blew me away.

This song was just so. DAMN. CUTE!!! Their singing, the tune, the antics. It just fills me with a feeling of pure, unadulterated joy on every single listen.

Put simply,

I was going to start this post by talking about how poorly I've been handling being separated from the fandom. This episode gave me so much joy I just couldn't bear to be negative. It blew all of that angst right out of my heart.

My current ranking of season 3 episodes:

Episode 3

Episode 2

Episode 1

This season just keeps getting better as it goes along. It would be funny if this list just ends up being in reverse order of the episode numbers. I would be surprised if episode 3 ends up ranked 8th, though. That would mean this was a season of truly extraordinary TV.

I encourage you to add to the discussion on this post if you have anything to say about episode 3 or the ones before it. Don't say anything (and I mean anything) about any of the episodes after episode 3. Pretend as if you're watching this along with me and haven't even seen the other ones yet.

The Disaster Mission With The Insect Mancer and the Gravity Maifoso - Part One

An action and funny drabble for @the-silver-peahen-residence involved our two muses; Chuya Nakahara from BSD ( Peahen-mun's muse ) and my OC, Pete Gnat. There are some moments of seriousness in the first part but things get more hectic in the second part.

----- Summary ----

Chuya and Pete were assigned on a mission. But this unlikely pair don't like each other for reasons and so they will cooperate with together without any further incident.

----

The collaboration between the Lovely Horrors and Port Mafia is still ongoing. Sid is in discussions with the boss while everyone has their missions. Matt is usually paired with Ryunosuke, Charlie with Gin, Shrika with Higuchi, Jason with Tachihara, Lex with and a few others.

But this pair-up is the worst thing that Chuya Nakahara has to deal with. He doesn't know much about the other Horrors. He heard they're pretty good at their jobs, especially with hunting and killing. Hell...some of them are pretty reasonable like Sid but they shouldn't be messed with. If Chuya had to describe this.

Matt is just crazy. Shrika flirts with him to the point where he blushes all the time and he can't get any job done. Jason is a wild guy which is not surprising since he's a werewolf. Charlie is quiet and he can't really tell what she thinks, Cobin hates everyone equally with that smug attitude of his, and oh Lex creeps him out even with those bandages! He is told not to look at his face but goddamn..that guy's face looks fine!

He can handle them as they can be managed and reasoned with. But by god! What did he have to pair up with Pete of all people! What is the boss thinking?!

Okay...sure...Pete looks after Yumeno and he really takes care of him which he really respects. Yumeno tells Gin and Ryunosuke that they're having a wonderful time and he's being homeschooled. Chuya has no problem with it. Not at all.

But the bugs. THE BUGS! Those slimy creepy little shit crawlers scare the living shit out of him. He remembers when one crawled up his leg, a freaking huge black centipede! That happened when Chuya restrained Pete whom he didn't know that this punk is a skinny-ass blondie that look like an emo! Chuya can't help but laugh knowing this scary-ass monster is a punk. H

Then he felt something crawling up his leg, Chuya froze and slowly looked down at his pants before pulling one of them up to see one. He can't believe that he screamed like a little girl. Never that he yelled like that. Thank god, nobody is there to hear about it.

Ever since then...any bug he sees, he makes sure to walk away from. Fast. Freaking bugs remind him of Pete. Hell...he even uses his ability to make them go away instead of squashing them with his bare hands. He hates Pete! He is a second guy below Dazai!

"Can't believe I am stuck with you," Chuya muttered.

"Can say the same thing," Pete said.

Pete doesn't like Chuya. To him, he is always angry and likes to get on his nerves with his insults. He even teased him about his body build whenever he came out of the suit. Always ask him why he is so skinny at his bones and he needs to eat more. This guy always pokes fun at him and his costume. Hell, most of the time Chuya is in a bad mood. It gets worse when he runs into the ADA and Dazai. He is in the worst mood making Pete have to deal with it. When he gets really irritated and stressed out, he smokes! It bothers him so much! Oh when he drinks, he gets drunk easily making him pick him up on Matt's orders. Just why?! It's like dealing with a drunk uncle.

For now, their job is surveillance and he hopes that this mission is just boring. Another normal day at least, Boring enough for Chuya to cool off and have him not do anything stupid.

"Ugh...." Chuya sighed as he is drinking his coffee milk. "Hey, anything yet, bug brain?"

Pete ignores the nickname but answers, "Nothing yet."

"Tch. This is boring." Chuya sighed as he keeps sipping his drink.

"Do you prefer problems or no problems?" Pete said.

"Doesn't matter to me, it means there is no action going on. Means no fighting!" Chuya groaned.

"Really?" Seriously. Pete thought, looking at him with a look.

"Yeah." Yeah, seriously. Chuya frowns at him before looking up at the sky. "Anyway...I got a question."

Ugh. Here we go. He's probably asking something stupid. Pete thought.

'Why the hell do you wear a suit?"

Really? Pete thought but he answered, "Because I felt like it."

"Isn't that hard or something? Wouldn't you get overheated inside of that thing?" Chuya asked.

"Not really," Pete said.

"And why's that?" Chuya asked.

"Because the bugs help." Pete answered simply.

'The what?" Chuya blinked.

"The bugs help," Pete repeated. Chuya felt a shiver down his spine, he shivers in disgust. "You're saying....that there are bugs inside your suit?"

"Yeah. Didn't you know that?" Pete answers, but he can't help but smile at Chuya's pale expression.

"That's....really gross!" He yelled, taking steps back away from Pete, "What the hell?!" Chuya commented, pointing at him angrily, "Why won't you transform into a monster like Shrika and Jason?!"

"Because I don't have that ability," Pete stated the obvious making a face.

"And why not?"

"Because it just isn't! Why? Do you want to me turn into a bug monster?" Pete said. Now thinking, Chuya had to imagine Pete as a bug monster with those claws, bug-like features, and all that. "Nevermind." Chuya doesn't want to think about that.

Pete sighs. Good.

"But I gotta ask."

Oh god. What now?

"What got you into the fraction of Horrors, anyway?"

What kind of question is that?

"Because I kill."

"Heh. Everyone can kill, bug brain" Chuya scoffed. "What I am saying is why you join the fraction like that. I'm going, to be honest, here, you don't strike me as a type that enjoys killing."

"Huh?" Pete said. Inside his suit, he looks confused.

"Your friends." Chuya begins, "Not sure about Sid but so far, Shrika likes to drop people from the sky, Jason likes to maul people, Cobin likes to spray bullets at people that pisses him off and Charlie likes to strangle in her trap for some reason. I don't know about Lex who uses freaking light lasers, and....don't get me started on your leader, Matt."

"From what I have seen so far, your friends kill because they felt like it. You on the other only kill when it's needed."

"Okay, what are you getting at here?" Pete is getting annoyed with this.

"You're the most sane out of all of them." Said Chuya. Pete looks over to Chuya looking confused as he said this. "Why?" Pete asked.

"Why?" Chuya can't help but laugh, "Because you kill those corrupted pro-heroes because they hurt Yumeno." He said. "And after you are satisfied with that, you don't seek out in fighting or rather kill other people for the kicks of it. From what I heard based on you what do, you go for the surveillance for your fraction letting others know where your enemy is. You're more like a bodyguard than a killer." Chuya taking a sip of his drink.

"What's your point??" Where is this guy going with this?

"My point is that your teammates are freaking monsters. You...even with that creepy bug suit on, you're the most human out of everyone in there. Hell...even the low-ranking members of your fraction; the Followers who took the HYDE pills prefer dealing with you and Sid." He said. Pete narrows his eyes at this before turning his head away to glance towards the sky.

"I mean...if you ask me...you're probably more suited to becoming mafia material."

"Forgot it. I'm not interested in anything like that." Pete quickly said.

"Sorry, sorry. You don't have the guts to become a mafioso anyway." Chuya shrugged him, annoying Pete even further.

Who the hell would want to become a gangster?! Pete made a face but his monstrous appearance didn't show it. Only the inside.

"So that's why I'm asking," Chuya asked. Pete exhales deeply, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yeah."

"Because they asked me to." Pete answered as if that was the only answer. This made Chuya blink and looks at Pete in disbelief. "Ha?! Wait...so you joined because they asked you to? That sounds way too suspicious." Chuya frowns.

In Pete's mind, he recalls a memory.

He is laying on the floor inside his own childhood home. There were two bodies in the closet with flies around and a small body buried outside the backyard. He felt empty as he stares off into the distance. Sometimes..he dreams only to wake up in a dark room. Surrounded by trash bags, boxes, and decaying things while his bugs are buzzing around. He didn't want to do anything nor want anything. He became a demon for the sake of revenge but now...he feels empty. Then something breaks inside his house.

Light beams through the plaster wall making his eyes wince.

He had his bugs attack but all bugs were killed immediately with the use of knives.

"Hey....are you the one living in this house?" A young man with red eyes and scars asked him cheerily.

----

After recalling that memory, Pete responds, "It's true. I was in a dark hole surrounded by filth. I was laying around on the floor and making sure my bugs keep everyone away from me. That's when Matt came in and he ask. Well...after fighting him and defeating me, he asked me to join. So I join the Horrors." Pete gives him a short version. Chuya looks dumbfounded by this before raising a brow at this, he shakes his head with his arms crossed

"Man...that sounds like you were depressed and Matt got you out of it."

Well...you make it sound like that. It does sound depressing.

"You can say that," Pete answered. Because of Matt, maybe he didn't have anything but follow Matt and Sid since he has nothing else to live for. Until now.

"What about you?"

"Huh?"

"It's only fair to ask since you're so curious about me," Pete said. "Why did you join Port Mafia?"

Chuya sighs loudly not wanting to argue with that point, so he goes to explain, "You know Dazai Osamu?"

"The detective guy that is with the ADA. Yeah, I met him." He asked, recalling the man back at the aquarium when he is confronted about Yumeno. Chuya nods, "Yeah...that's him. That bastard got me to join. Not by choice anyway."

Pete looks over at him as he listens. Chuya goes on to give a bit of his backstory about himself. He is part of a group called the Sheep; a group consisting largely of teenagers down on their luck that maintain their own territory. They begin to attack Port Mafia and other organizations. Along the way, Dazai was sent to combat them, or rather...he kidnapped the Sheep's members to get Chuya to work for them temporarily in order to save them. To do that, he has to help them with something. Along the way, Chuya tells the members of Sheep that he is doing this for them and is told things will work out. However....the Sheep in betraying him while compelling Chuya to join Port Mafia.

"Dazai came over when I was poisoned and weak. With his squad with orders to kill them all. To protect them, I will join Port Mafia so he can spare his life. Hell! Bastard gave me that choice if I want to save them..." He tightens his fists.

"Even if they betray you?" Pete asked. Chuya shakes his head, "They didn't betray me...rather....they were scared of me because that bastard manipulated them into thinking I betrayed them." Chuya growled.

Pete never thought Dazai would do that. Hearing that his ability is to cancel other abilities from Yumeno. "Hold on...I don't understand. He's part of the ADA why would he do something like that?"

"Hmph. Isn't it obvious, you didn't know that Dazai is a former Mafia member? A former executive?" Chuya replied making face the city. Pete blinks. Actually, that makes sense, why would Dazai approach him at the aquarium. But he has a feeling there's more to the man but he used to be part of the Port Mafia??

"I........I'm sorry that you went through something like that."

"Huh?" Chuya blinked.

"I am sorry that you were forced to join them after being betrayed by the other group you care about. It sounds like you didn't have a choice. The only choice you made is that you did it in order to protect them while wanting to live at the same time. Maybe your friends will understand....someday." Said Pete.

Chuya blinked at Pete and his....empathy. It's genuine and human. Dazai is right. Pete is more human than most of the Horrors. He doesn't know his life but based on his answer, it sounds like he had it rough. He closes his eyes as he sighs.

When the Entomancer looks at Chuya but he didn't expect his expression. The mafia executive looks at Pete with such annoyance as if he just offend him and shit in his cereal.

Huh?

"What?" Pete wondered if he said something wrong. "What's wrong?"

"Tch! What's wrong?! It's what you said that's wrong! I don't need your damn pity! Heck! I bet you're laughing inside!" He looks away with his arms crossed.

"I'm not." Pete said, looking at him in confusion. "What do you want me to say???"

"I don't know! Anything else besides that!?" Chuya exclaimed. "Besides...you shouldn't apologize for something you weren't there for! Now you make feel me bad!"

"Uhh...okay...uh....that sucks?" Pete asked making Chuya groan. "Forget it. I thought maybe I can kill some time by talking to you so I get something out of you or something but damn...I never thought you had the most boring reason to join a killer fraction."

"So you asked me that question just to kill time?" Pete said, looking at him with a face. Chuya shrugs.

Why does Pete even bother???

"Looks like you two aren't killing each other!" A chirp is heard making Chuya and Pete turned to the familiar voice. Chuya blinked. "Hold on! How long have you been standing here?!" He pointed at the person in question with his finger. Shrika.

Shrika tilts her head with a coy smile. "A while." She giggled.

"What is it?" Pete asked, getting straight to point.

"So far....from our end, there are no problems from the sky. Higuichi went back to report so I came here to check up on you two! So how is it going?"

"No activity yet," Pete said, thanking god that there is no activity! He can't imagine if he and Chuuya got into a battle right now. But the fates decided to laugh at him when his bugs picked up something.

"What?" Pete narrows his eyes to which Shrika picked, "Something wrong, Pete?"

"Grrrr.."

"Looks like you did find something." Shrika said.

"Finally some action!" Chuuya grinned making Pete slump his shoulders inside, wishing he can go home already. "Hey bug brain! Let's go! Where are they at?!"

I hate this job....Pete growled.

"At the far right downtown...." Pete tells him to which Chuya grins before he jumps off.

"Wow...he seems excited. Aren't you going after him?" Shrika said.

"I don't have a choice..." Pete answers and follows.

-----

Once the disastrous duo got to the scene...rather Chuya beat him to it as he had things taken care of. Pete didn't like how he got information out of people when most were being knocked out or ended up being dead by accident. Though...Pete did make sure none of their enemies escaped from their location as some of their enemies were now paralyzed.

However...that wasn't the problem. The problem is Pete trying to calm him down and prevent him from killing their enemies. He had to remember that Boss Mori wanted some of them alive.

"Hey! Knock it off! You're going to-"

"You know what?! I'm sick of you telling me what to do!" Chuya yelled.

"I'm just saying if you want to get things done right. You need to keep some of them alive for information!"

"Oh! So now you want to act smart?! The hell is your problem!"

"I got no problem! You're the one who has the problem! Your gravity manipulation is hurting my bugs!"

"Your bugs?! Oh sorry!" Then Chuya makes a face, "NO, I AM NOT! If you care so much about them, tell them to get out of the way!"

"Uhhhh...." The enemy gang members are staring at the two dumbfounded as they are sweatdropped. Are these guys for real? Forget Chuuya Nakaahra, but that bug monster is arguing with him. Are they working together or fighting each other!?

"Damn, bug! You know what?! I think we should fight. I never fought someone who controls bugs! This is the time I will beat you up for real!"

"You're joking right?" Pete can't believe what he's hearing. Then again...there are times when Pete wants to set Chuya straight. Maybe this is a good time to do that, right now.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Chuuya activated his ability, surrounding his own body in a red aura. Pete breathes as he imbues his own suit in green aura. "Fine then! Let's see what you got-"

A swish is heard as the enemies look to see Chuuya's leg raised to the side and the head of the monster flying off. The spectators gasped in fright. He kicked this monster's head off. The monster's body drops to its knees. The head rolls over to the enemy leader who widens his eyes at this, takes a step back, and falls on his ass.

"OH SHIT!"

The enemies look between the mafioso and the monster arguing then before they know it. The headless monster rose from the ground and then several tendrils came out. Upon a closer look, the tendrils look like enraging centipedes with clicking noises. The enemies were now horrified and almost sick to their stomachs.

What kind of monster is this?

"Bastard...." The monster spoke. "You want to play like that, fine!" And then the windows begin to shatter, as a swarm of insects fills the area.

"Everyone get down!" Said the enemy leader as all of them dropped to their knees. They need to find a way to escape.

"Damn godfather wannabe bastard!" Pete's head is now picked up and is placed back on the suit, fixing it. Then with a raise of his hand, the swarm surrounds Chuuya. With a growl, Chuuya stomps his foot, bringing up rubble and hitting the bugs.

"Bring it, you fucking bug!" Chuuya shouted.

The enemy leader has no idea what's going on but he is not planning to stay here to see who wins. "We gotta get out of here!" He tells his men. They hightailed out of there as they heard crashing and cursing.

Pete bum rushes at Chuuya, grabbing him by the throat and pins him against the wall but Chuuya kicks him hard. Pete spits out a flying roach from his mouth to which Chuya yells in fright and gets out of the way.

"YOU SICK BASTARD! YOU THREW A COCKROACH AT ME?!" Chuuya yelled before bringing up a floor using his ability and throwing it at him. Pete easily smashes the floor and went at Chuuya with punches before striking him with a centipede. The two fight inside the warehouse to the point where it collapses upon them, creating a crash. Both emerged from the wreckage. Pete is missing an arm and a tusk. Chuya rolls his shoulder and is missing his hat. He growls.

Before they went at it. A voice stops.

"What do you think you two doing?" A grave voice stops them. Both turned their heads to see Sid and Gin who is sighing and shaking her head.

"You're supposed to bring down a group messing with your operations. What is this?" Sid asked.

Pete and Chuuya looked at each other, then saw the entire mess and pointed at each other, "HE STARTED IT!" They said in unison. Gin sighs loudly, "You guys."

"He kicked my head!"

"He spat out a cockroach at me!"

The two blame each other as they point at each other, listing what they did to each other. Sid stares wondering if Pete and Chuuya are acting like 5-year-olds fighting. Gin had enough, "QUIET! Just....enough. We're going back and you two explain to the boss what you did. Shrika and the rest already round up the enemy." She said, telling them.

Pete and Chuuya slumped their arms but both looked at each other with a glare. The girls turn their backs and lead.

--- At Port Mafia headquarters ----

They are waiting for their meeting with Boss Mori who is taking in reports from fellow Port members. Soon, it's going to be their turn to explain why a warehouse has collapsed on their turf.

Both are still roughed up as they are dirty. They grumble at each other.

"I hate you." Pete said.

"Like-fucking-wise." Chuuya said.

Another day has ended.

To be continued.

damn, Jongwoo fucked up that guy who was beating up someone else bc he got flashbacks to his time in the army

damn someone made a hole to peep into Jongwoo's room

oh the quip about the "he's not stuttering right now" was leading up to the fact that they're twins. i was wondering if mans was faking it

So far, quite unsettling and I'm liking it. Also fun that Jongwoo can't quite tell what's going on or what's happening but we the audience also can't always tell what's really happening vs what's Jongwoo's imagination or dream (like the pervert just continuously saying 'should i kill you?' which was also when the ganster guy found the play bullet thing in his room which was real but it lead to Jongwoo's bloody dream so was the pervert part real?)

Anyway, time to go to bed because it's 12AM and I have to get up in 7.5 hours and I can't handle scary or unsettling things later at night

Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:

The Pervert is making a hole or cutting the floor or whatever upstairs (in the 4th floor where nobody lives?)

There's a hole in his room that someone can see through

The dentist mans who isn't even involved in the story yet is fucked up

Ep 2: Human Nature (Jan 20)

I hope we stay mostly at the creepy weirdo apartment instead of Jongwoo's freaking workplace bc that gives me more anxiety and stress than the murders or whatever's boutta happen in the apartments

Everyone at this fucking place just has terrible dreams of death and murder, huh? including the gangster. anyway he wants to move out so I'm assuming he's gonna die soon. not to mention he's fucking going to the women's floor that's supposed to be off-limits and empty but the pervert's out there digging the floor there anyway

what the fuck a dead body with blood, how long has the fucking body been there

oh damn one of the twins struck the gangster down?

I wonder whether the landlord knows about the killings and weird happening on the 4th floor or not. her talking about how after the gangster leaves, only good people will be left was sus and creepy

so one of the twins deposited the dead cat?

okay so that specific twin (giggling, stuttering) killed one cat but the others were scorched and burned, so either his other twin killed them or it was the dentist

oh is that missing person poster of the guy who's dead and stored in the 4th floor?

hmm "that guy" that the twins keep talking about. the dentist?

Jongwoo's anger issues and uncontrolled outbursts is interesting because I originally thought he'd be very much the odd one out but he also has darkness in him (even if it's not cruel and sadistic like the other neighbors). like even though that was his imagination of standing up to the hyung boss man but when he beat up those guys in ep 1 was def an indication of what he's capable of

Okay so here's the thing right is the dentist and the "calm creepy" guy in the apartment the same guy? No? The dentist looks like Lee Dongwook (which he is) while the "calm" guy looks kinda like Lee Minho lmao. okay lmfao this whole time for some reason I thought the dentist and the smiley calm creepy guy were supposed to be the same person and kept getting confused that they literally didn't look alike and also was like why would a dentist be at that dingy place wtf but turns out they're unrelated. actually i guess the reason i thought they were the same was bc i knew the smiley guy was up to something weird and terrible for sure and thus thought he was the murderous creep dentist everybody kept talking about

That was hindi in the notebook of the old tenant guy? I saw a comment about how the old Pakistani tenant had a really sad backstory hmm

oh this lady is for sure in on the men making the tenants disappear

bruv, isn't he the police? he should be able to escape the chokehold imo

also the smiley guy is so ? why is he killing a detective or police officer or whoever like how are you gonna hide all of that

ohhh the dentist has a cult I see. In the volunteers I can spot the dentist, the twins, and the landlord lady but not the smiley calm guy though I guess he's one of the guys. will the police lady realize who's in the pics since she's seen one of the twins? Also, I rewatched the dentist and police convo and he mentioned meeting Mr. Park the other dentist at volunteer work, so is he also gonna be involved?

lmfao the convo on the roof with "like it?" "i thought you and i could be the same type of person" is so gay like that's how people talk about homosexuality and that's how confessions sometimes start in BLs. except this time it's murder and horrifying torture!

Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:

The location of the gangster and also the previous Pakistani resident

Ep 3: A Secret Whisper (Jan 20)

kinda fun how casually the dentist strangles the smiley guy

Was the "I thought you and I might be the same type of person" just in the dentist's head? This show kinda reminds me of Midnight Motel in terms of showing the thoughts and scenarios in the characters' heads, though this is showing much darker scenarios and dreams generally

lmfao Jongwoo being so eager about crime fiction and writing about a murderer who kills the same way the dentist just killed lmfao so funny The Dentist falling in love with him or what and then Jongwoo being charmed by him due to the flattery oh silly man

oh that diary is so fucked. people definitely going into your room

somehow them actually burying a body (the police officer's? the smiley creepy guy's?) seems so mundane like ah yes the murderers must dispose of the body (though does the pervert's ankle bracelet track his location?)

What makes the people who live there just keep writing 죽어 repeatedly while in a trance-like state

let's go back to the dentist extracting the teeth bc that's better than the hell that is Jongwoo's internship bruv I really can't

oh lmfao the models in the dentist's office is made of real teeth i guess? or is he just storing them as fucking stones for rings he's made

oh okay so the landlord lady was a caretaker for the twins at the orphanage

pls the twin appearing closer when Jongwoo peaks out from behind the wall freaked me out + kept being nervous that somebody's behind Jongwoo

ah lmfao ofc the dentist is indeed behind Jongwoo

so do they put a dead cat toward the top and keep the body underneath?

what did the dentist feed Jongwoo ahh is it the gangster's corpse?? cannibalism? pls the dentist really just says what it is but makes it seem like an out-of-the-world idea like "oh i thought there was a body or something" in the bag and now asking if Jongwoo thinks it's human meat or something ew

Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:

The creepy smiley guy and gangster are both dead and everybody else in the apartment is in on it

he ate human meat rip

Ep 4: Mental Derangement (Jan 21)

It's translated as something like it's delicious but the dentist uses the word 죽어 in it like "it's to die for" lmfao yeah that meat is to die for pun

girl, did Jongwoo's Sergeant in the army also eat human meat wtf or is it just his dreams and real life traumas getting mixed together

okayyyyy I was wondering if the dentist is only good and great with his patients (that one boy was doing great with him) but seems like he may have scared the girl in the car or she saw through him or something

fuckk when they were talking on the phone or texting they seemed meh but now that Jongwoo and his gf are talking irl and being cute, it's soooo endearing I'm

wow Jongwoo's workplace is really gonna kill me

So the landlady saw Jongwoo conversing with the police and the dentist may or may not have seen Jongwoo conversing with his gf (idk if that was jongwoo's imagination or not...)

damn, so the apartment duellers really fucking take people just off the streets to kill and eat? bruv, how are the police only now tentatively investigating them

oh so at least the bodies are being found even if nobody's connecting them with Eden Studio

the subs just completely ignore hyung and such even when JaeHo's like "stop calling me hyung at work" instead of dapyonim

naurrr miss police officer letting out too much about the cat deaths and goshiwon Eden Studio suspicions to the literal mastermind dentist behind it, hope you make it out of the show alive miss girl

What are the clues police lady has so far: the cat deaths near Eden studio, missing people from Eden studio, the twins' videotape - does she realize the woman was the landlady?, one of the twins was wearing the Pakistani guy's watch

The landlady ajhumma is kinda nervous around the dentist and even asked him if he'd kill her bc of her recklessness hmm

I like the shot of Jongwoo walking around the floor and encountering walls everywhere with so many voices in his head. I guess the ajumma fed him the drink to knock him out as they deal with 303 creepy guy's body

Ep 5: The Notebook of Malte Laurids Brigge (Jan 21)

oh my fucking bad, they talked about dealing with room 303 which is Jongwoo - he's supposed to be a replacement for 302 who was the creepy smiley guy

I hope there's a gifset of the parallels between everybody looking at smiling at Jongwoo and the pervert's altercation vs the gangster and the twins previously

bro what the fuck is the "are you filming me right now" "you looked pretty" exchange like evil gay dentist

dang, was the dentist tryna sus out Jongwoo's bloodthirst levels on the roof lol

rip Jongwoo sending home money and thus having less to move out

oof the landlady told the dentist about Jongwoo and the police officer, who the dentist was already ready to kill

the landlady really got the old lady to drink blood, I wonder who that is and why she wanted that health insurance

byee this annoying reporter hitting a nail on the head like maybe a serial killer lives in your goshiwon, imagine living next to a corpse, etc

the cop going everywhere, including the fourth floor, without backup is so alksdfj

the pervert following behind the cop and hiding when she turns around is so

fuckkkkkk the lady fucking escaped and everything only for her to run into the dentist instead of catching up to the cop fucking hell

oh was that thing that the landlady made the old lady drink not blood? I thought it was just terribly coloured blood but seems like it's "mushroom juice" that's lethal cuz that's how they're killing this street lady. i assumed the old lady had just been knocked out but is she dead too

lol so is the dentist fr following Jongwoo around. his practice is deserted and instead he's sending Jongwoo texts like "don't you just wanna kill him"

is Ji Eun really gonna cheat on Jongwoo with the boss man guy? pls T.T no

naurrr fuck Ji Eun now going to see Jongwoo at the Eden Studio but Jongwoo's drunk at the police station fucking fuck

ah shit the dentist has not met Ji Eun outside the studio

this show is making me so stressed

I think this is my fave episode so far, it's got so much suspense and Things Happening and stress

Ep 6: Lost (Jan 21)

lol I'm so dumb I keep reading the episode on-air threads on reddit or going through gifsets of the odd number ep before I finish the even number ep and so end up getting spoilers. I read the 5-6 on-air and learned that the dentist knifes one of the twins oof

T.T I don't want Ji Eun to go into the building T.T I can'ttttt I hope she doesn't die soon

well at least she's not dying this time but everybody's aware that she trusts the tenants so little that he'd bring the police to the place

no she's right like why does Jongwoo still stay here and I get her point like "there are people who are stranger than them although they don't appear to be" bc she might interpret Jongwoo's fear as ableism but like miss girl rip

Whose photo is that in the metamorphosis. Jongwoo and gf? so the dentist is the one who's been going into his room?

oh... that thump thump was from the dentist living on the 4th floor and bouncing that ball? I originally thought it was the pervert digging a hole on the fourth floor

girl why does Jongwoo just keep drinking the stuff the lady gives him alskdfj he knows her eggs are bloody at least, so he should be more suspicious of other stuff

The giggly twin saying the landlady is the scariest person in the whole place and the landlady saying she raised the dentist. okay inch resting, was this also at the orphanage

and so it's like the landlady was the original recruiter? and now the dentist is trying to recruit someone as well? he failed with the smiley creepy guy but now it's Jongwoo

damn, Jongwoo fr tempting all the tenants into killing him or what

oof that drink the landlady gave Jongwoo really had him go off the deep end ig it's mushroom juice, so hallucinogens? also i realized after reading reddit comments that the shots of her cooking has been her cooking these mushrooms to get the juice

oof you should've moved out without asking for any deposit back or anything Jongwoo

nahh how does the dentist have time to stalk not only Jongwoo but also the cop?

oh i see dentist was stalking Jongwoo and the cop also saw him

rip Ji Eun really thinks Jongwoo's just going through it but there's nothing wrong with the goshiwon

ohhh the insurance of that old lady was life insurance?

oh Jongwoo's paranoia is getting ramped upppp as he realizes Ji Eun doesn't believe him at all and he can't afford to more out. Mans bought a knife and is holding it behind his hand while talking to the new guy, giving me flashbacks to the pervert in earlier eps

ooh okay I was wondering whether the new guy is fr and he's gonna get killed soon or if he's also in on the scheme and seems like he is? I wonder if he's in that volunteering photo from Ep 2

girl Jongwoo's going up to the fourth floor with his knife while pervert and twins try to clan up a body?! T.T

man I really am gonna just not look at the fucking reddit posts or tumblr gifs before I finish ep 8 and 10 because knowing that the dentist is gonna knife the twin really took out so much anticipation out of this agh

interesting reaction from the tenants about the death though. the twin being scared but not wanting to die, the landlady being like ah he reached heaven first (cult vibes increased), dentist being frazzled

Ep 7: The Horror Of The Basement (Jan 22)

miss cop I hope your teeth hurt less

ohhh is she gonna connect the dots the name of the dental clinic Spring - the orphanage Spring - the dentist chair on 4th floor

do I trust this new guy Seok Yun?

ooh are we gonna get to see the backstory of the scars from like ep 3 or 4 when he went to take a shower

the pervert getting some girl's legging things ew

oh the cop has now seen the volunteering photo at the dentist's

okay yeah as expected the dentist is from the orphanage and sees the landlady as his mother

agh idk if i trust this new kiddd like Jongwoo realizing from the rap that their situations are similar is making me wonder if the new kid orchestrated it or not

oh the gangster's still alive? girl

rip the twin doesn't seem like he's taking his brother's death well

the new kid jumping to "oh do you think they're organ traffickers?" like hmmm you're too readily accepting

oof Jongwoo gonna think Ji Eun's cheating on him with the boss which... is she?

Jongwoo's so much more callous now, both with the new kid and the twin like he's got anger issues fr

the dentist is really so alksdfj like he just overhears Jongwoo's complaining and anger, corners him against the edge of the rooftop, tell him to hate/curse/kill the people he wants to, then is like oof you might fall

Jongwoo didn't close his door properly when he went to pee agh

ah fuck the landlady showing her scary side yikes and Jongwoo rampaging on the pervert's room to find the knife rip

oh damn Jongwoo's threatening the pervert with a small pair of scissors or something okay okay

lol as expected, the twin hid the knife from the pervert's room

What are we supposed to make of the new guy calling Jongwoo to tell the pervert was staring at him in the kitchen? Was he lying since he was in the stairwell or did it really happen and he just made the call after going to the stairwell?

damn, so Jongwoo's keyboard bashing is real?? since its on the CCTV?

Oh Jongwoo my guy really beating up the 3 kids who were boutta rock his shit. his anger and the physical manifestations of it

So in the PTSD military scene, Jongwoo beat up the guy who was beating someone up and was like ah... should've killed him. interesting, he's had violent tendencies since before

ofc the dentist finds the beaten up, bloody Jongwoo on the street after the fight - i bet the dentist is happy to see Jongwoo's instability and bloodlust

Ep 8: Voices That Choke Me (Jan 22)

oh shit I thought we were gonna get the story of how dentist met and indoctrinated the smiley creepy guy and so thought maybe it was him in the dentist chair but nopeeee our dentist is operating on Jongwoo rn

"What are you?" "What do you think I really am?" "What" "A dentist who lives in a goshiwon? Or a serial killed that you'd see in crime novels?" Also, I just realized that the dentist does indeed call them all Jagi he was like I can be anything Jagi-ga wants

Oh I like the cuts of him introducing himself to the smiley man vs Jongwoo

oh damn so many things are happening. the cop was investigating the parking lot where the detective disappeared/got murdered. Jongwoo and the dentist's conversation continued but we didn't get to see it. Jongwoo's now in the police station for beating up those kids and he's not talking

I don't understand the dentist, why is he appearing at the police station and saying he's gonna pay the parents on behalf of Jongwoo to settle like girl you're suspicious and you know the cop is suspicious of Eden Studio

oh nooo Jongwoo not talking and looking like :< poor boy what's going onnnn what'd the dentist do to his mouth or traumatize him or what

ah fuck Jongwoo's so fucked he mistook his shirt for a dead cat

It's kinda interesting that when Jongwoo's hearing voices in his head and shaking, it's not just the tenants of this apartment but also his military and work and girlfriend's voices

I loveee that Jongwoo used to have so many violent imagined scenarios before that now when he does do actual violence, like breaking the keyboard earlier and now beating his coworker like I kept being like is it real for real?

Jongwoo's so spaced out, just blank behind the eyes

oof another case of Jongwoo smilingand saying "I should've killed him"

ooh the anesthesia in the string is often used in dental settings + the DNA may be from the missing detective

damn ngl the boss hyung doing more to understand Jongwoo than I would, I'd just fire and avoid him

Gonna fucking eat glass, this is one of my fave scenes

(Fave Scene) Boss hyung trying to be understanding -> Jongwoo getting angry at boss and trying to fight him after Ji Eun shows up and being full of emotion -> the dentist showing up and Jongwoo deflating and being scared and trying to move away + moving Ji Eun back -> the dentist goading the boss hyung and also speaking to Jongwoo about half the time even though he's speaking about the dentist and ofc the boss hyung ready to fight -> Jongwoo being scared that the dentist is gonna do something and so Jongwoo stepping in to take the dentist outside bc he's afraid the dentist would do something to the boss and/or Ji Eun ig

lmao the dentist revealing that he was stalking Jongwoo when he saw Ji Eun get out of the boss hyung's car and saying he knows Jongwoo wanted to kill the man then ahh psychological warfare

ask;ldfj ahh I'm so fully convinced the dentist is like in love with Jongwoo bc wtf is urging Jongwoo to kill the boss hyung and when he doesn't, following him to the office and injecting him bc ig he hurt Jongwoo? Dentist even says "Ah, I'm not usually this impulsive. Jongwoo-ssi is very special to me. He's special to me."

also the reporter's seeing all this okay interesting i wonder if he's gonna make it out alive and tell the tale or if he's gonna be spotted cuz his phone goes off or the dentist goes to take the CCTV tapes or something

oh the dentist is calling someone to clean up, i guess it's the pervert and twin?

oh you reporter fucker why are you in your car in front of the Eden Studio after following a murderer there and talking on the phone all chill with the windows down be fucking serious

hmm the alive twin is interesting. what'd he do to the officer did he let him go? he didn't mention him to the dentist and also he gave the dentist some attitude

okay I was suspicious of the new guy for quite a while but I guess he's also unaware of anything actually going on lol anyway, he's eating the human flesh so happily, I wonder what the dentist thinks of him and whether he'll take a liking to him like he recruited smiley creepy and is trying Jongwoo or if they'll just eat him. Also they love saying it's human meat and laughing about it haha

naur the new guy's exploring the fourth floor? oh yeah i remember he also called Jongwoo this ep or last ep saying he smelled blood from there oh my guy

also is the body in the bag the boss buying or reporter’s?

aw poor new guy, you had no chance of going undetected. might survive if you’re a fucked it murderer too tho

My new favourite episode ahh like just the inability to realize whether Jongwoo was beating up the supervisor for real and then the restaurant conversations were both sooo good

Ep 9: Cognitive Dissonance (Jan 23)

oh shit he mistokk Ji Eun for the dentist and litrally held up a knife to her fuck. also on reddit someone said on the preview apparently the dentist kidnaps her so...

miss girl looking for the missing car and stuff in the fucking forest where the guys go to bury bodies or whatever ah sigh will you make it out of this story alive i wonder

oh fuck Jongwoo going back to Eden Studio because he realizes something's up with the new guy agh

oh fuckkkkkkk so??? is the new guy now in on it too???? has he been converted to being a murderer so easily? or is he being held at knifepoint to convince Jongwoo

ah shit new guy crying and bleeding as he begs Jongwoo to stay rip

I hate this detective fucker's condescension sooo much, whether it be because she's a cop not a detective or bc she's a woman

I guess the cop doesn't know that Jongwoo works at this place either rip

Also the body was still at the crime scene but the CCTV was deleted, so was the "clean up" deleted the CCTV but keeping the body there bc the disappearance would be too suspicious otherwise or what. Also who was in the body being carried at the end of Ep 7 then? The reporter?

So the twin has some SD cards? camera memory? idk what that's for. But he spoke to the reporter... was that just to play around before killing him or did he give the reporter an actual scoop and is happy that the serial killer gonna get busted as revenge for his brother

damn the dentist gonna send the new guy's tooth to Jongwoo?

lol the landlady taking the woman praying in the first floor out of the building

so the murder team is also planning on leaving Eden Studio

the twin letting new guy try to escape and even singing red light green light song... this was before Squid Game came out but it's giving me flashbacks

lmfao naurr not the landlady finding the new guy and pretending to not know anything and hide him agh this game is so fucked

poor new guy just keeps getting caught between murderers like it's so horrifying all i can do is laugh

REPORTER GO WORK AT A FUCKING CAFE mans writing his story about the murders in his car like 2 feet away from where the murders happen with his window down and no awareness of his surroundings.

lmfao pls the shot panning to let us see the dentist reading out the window and nodding along is killing me

Also, I wonder if the dentist knows that the twin gave the info to the reporter

oh Jongwoo keeps looking everywhere because he thinks the dentist is gonna show up

ah fuck Jongwoo should've 100% told Ji Eun that Jae Ho was dead as soon as he found out bc that'd make her be careful of the texts and even grant him some credibility that the dentist killed him (though she could also think that Jongwoo killed him lol) but now the dentist is getting to her

noo this army guy also going to Eden Studio? like girl no have him stay and call for backup so that he doesn't die too

Ep 10: Gas-lighting (Jan 23)

I should be studying right now and give myself the last ep as a reward afterwards but uhhh I don't wanna wait, I need to know the ending now

Another hour before this is over hmm I wonder how this'll end. I guess from that one comment on MDL, one of them kills the other (Jongwoo to Mun jo bc it's supposed to be happy ending) but also there are theories about the ending on reddit, so I guess it'll be ambiguous. I'm just hoping that it's not all in Jongwoo's head though, I feel like this would be rated lower if it was and there wouldn't be theories and I would be spoiled about it by now

the title is gas-lightning I wonder if it'll just be about everyone convincing Jongwoo that he's going crazy or... a pun? will there be a fire? The orphanage and 4th floor both burned down and we saw the twin with a gas bottle thing

pls the way the dentist always appears so humorously is gonna kill me like the other two pointing and him and even saying 'ja jan!' as he slides into frame

damn the dentist is beating the shit outta Jongwoo

ooh, are they gonna frame Jongwoo for the murders?

After reveal: Okay I thought that the dentist was gonna get Jongwoo to kill his friend or something and also the smile made me question if he was gonna somehow frame Jongwoo with the tooth bracelet but then since we didn't see him for a longass time, I'd briefly wonder about what he was doing but not dwell on it

okay at least the cop picked up the phone before getting knocked out so that the other cop heard the commotion

lol the landlady really got pissed off about the pervert first fucking with the thug and now the cop when they're in her jail cell

This is the funniest screenshot of all time: all those knives and the one she will choose is blurred

damn we really had Mun jo kill the landlady

and the surviving twin is no more

what's Munjo's end goal here exactly

oh Munjo still wants Jongwoo to join him? Or is he just lying

I can't see their fight properly in the dark

"the human instinct to gnaw on the weak and enjoy as the weak suffer" - k ig that's Munjo's motivation or lack thereof

After reveal: so that's what the dentist meant when he said "you enjoyed seeing the people from the studio die" bc I was like the victims?? but no Jongwoo killed the murderers

"Of course, jagi you are the best masterpiece I've ever created" because Jongwoo promises him a most painful death just before he kills him. Though what does he mean by now jagi and I will be together forever... girl is he gonna haunt him or will they run away together

oh actually these detectives needa die I'm not satisfied until this man apologizes to the cop and she stomps on their heads

oh framing?????? or what like what's going on why is the gangster saying it's Jongwoo. oh i see nevermind he's saying the others tried to murder him

hmm what are they investigating right now, why is the detective saying that the landlady killing the pervert is odd? Also they keep kinda slightly bringing up the vacation rental family being murdered probably by the Eden Studio murder gang but why now... did we even hear about it before

ohhh so is it like what we saw with Mun jo killing the lady and the lady killing the pervert not true? An amateur like Jong Woo did it?

brooo okay yknow I thought the thing with the dentist calling the twin stupid was so Jongwoo-lite, turns out it was Jongwoo

hmmm okay so idk I guesssss Jongwoo did kill the dentist, him and the cop seeing him around is just hallucinations and paranoia (including when he was alive and well and touching his adam's apple after all the murders bc Ji Eun saw that there was nobody else there), but Jongwoo now knows what it's like to kill someone and the "honey and i will be together forever" comment is meant to signify that Jongwoo is the dentist's masterpiece and the glitch at the end

Also, what happened to Jongwoo's friend - just an unmentioned casualty?

Here's why I think Moonjo is dead:

I think Jongwoo did kill Moonjo and afterwards came back to his room and had hallucinations with repeating sentences from their last conversation. The girlfriend saw nobody there and Jongwoo has previously had hallucinations in the mirror about the boss hyung's death like "It wasn't me!" Additionally, the scene was just his last words from the death scene + Adam's apple grab as seen before, so it was like Jongwoo's knowledge of what Moonjo would say or do, not really Moonjo

Everybody accepts that Moonjo is dead, so I'll assume they found the body tbh

I'll assume Jongwoo was hallucinating him after they got out of the building and I'll assume the cop was as well because she saw him in a crowded elevator and I feel like he would've been recognized since they family's been in the news now

There is a sense of "somebody's watching" the cop as she gets in the car at the end but to me, it's once again a manifestation of the cop's paranoia because we also get to see as if someone's watching from the backseat of her car and she turns back to find nobody there.

It's just more satisfying and scarier to me to assume that Moonjo's dead but he lives on in Jongwoo's personality and also Jongwoo and the cop's paranoia - he's haunting them and that's how Moonjo and Jongwoo will be together forever. He's a terror that is gone now but he's irrevocably tainted others, and made Jongwoo his masterpiece and final work of creation.

Overall Thoughts:

I'm not as blown away or enraptured by the ending as everybody else seems to be but I thought it was good and expected. The whole descent of Jongwoo was interesting to see, as well as how his environment and people around him made him who he is and what he had in him from previous experiences and by nature.

The acting and cinematography/atmosphere were good. I liked the hallucinations/dreams (I loved it when I couldn't tell whether he really was breaking the keyboard until the CCTV showed it or whether he was beating up the supervisor until the others came in bc he had violent imagined scenarios so often) and I'm glad it was just 10 eps.

I do like to think Moonjo's obsession was tinted with gayness but the cursory glance at tiktok/twitter shipper posts isn't giving me what I want - it's too ironically cutesy but I like that Moonjo is darkly obsessed and Jongwoo hates it so bad. I've been obsessed with going through people's archives for the strangers from hell tag and reblogging them though lol

I like that he's dead but still alive through Jongwoo; that even if he was killed, he still won.

Rating: 7.5/10

Tiktoks:

Moonjo couldn't have done it w/o me

Immortal He, Return to me - mostly for the comments who get that he's physically dead but lives on through Jongwoo

Moonjo/Jongwoo except it's accurate dynamics where Moonjo is all up in his space and Jongwoo wants to escape

Moonjo vs Jongwoo like cannibal/doesn't like human meat, encourages him to kill people/kills people, etc (jwdscore)

#strangers from hell #ep by ep commentary #okay time for me to stop obsessively looking at sfh gifsets for several hours a day and reblogging them (except those I've already queued)#it's bc i'm not connecting w the fic (i don't want murder husbands T.T i want moonjo's gay but evil obsessive love to destroy jongwoo) and #so my fandom interaction is just looking at gifs and going ooh ahh

Girls Night Out

warnings: implied virgin, fingering, lesbian implied, bi implied, public sex, smut, fluff, angst

word count: 2164

summary: you along with your groups of friends decide to have a girls' night for the first time in a while, things get heated and your friends end up taking turns using your body.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a Thursday night and you along with the other ladies who went to the same college as you decided to go out and have a girls’ night. Yall planned on going to see a movie, going out for drinks, then finally retiring to Sasha’s barn where yall planned to stay up late telling spooky stories trying to freak one another out. Normally you wouldn’t agree to something like this because socially you were a lost cause, you had many friends and were very close to them. However, when it came to hanging out in large groups and even going out in public with the group, that’s when you started to get anxious. Your friends always had your back though and you knew that. Ultimately you decide not to fret too much and just have fun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the beginning of a very long night, you and pieck were roommates so yall got ready at the same time and left together to meet everyone else at the theatre. On the ride there pieck looked over to you and broke the silence- “if it becomes too much just let me know, I’m good to go home anytime.. Okay darling?” she patted your thigh and you nodded waiting for her warm hand to leave its place. It never did. She kept her hand on your thigh occasionally tapping to the beat of the music she turned on after yall briefly spoke. You felt your cheeks begin to warm as you peered out the window. Nobody within the group of friends knew you swung that way you wouldn’t dare tell them fearing the absolute worst. You knew they would love you no matter what and you never thought they would say anything hurtful but you still kept your little secret to yourself.

Piecks hand remained on you the whole car ride to the theatre. When yall arrived you hopped out of the car with intent... That intent being getting away from under piecks touch as you know you wouldn’t be able to hide your heavy breath for much longer. You played it off as getting “all excited” about seeing the movie when you really just wanted to escape. You waited as pieck slowly gathered her items and met you outside the car, yall then proceeded to walk through the glass doors into the theatre where the rest of the girls were already waiting.

“Yo what took yall so long??” Sasha said while stuffing her face full of popcorn. “Yeah, we thought we were gonna miss the movie because of you two” Ymir followed, whilst rolling her eyes. You look around to check everyone out, Historia and Ymir were clinging together, as usual, Sasha and Mikasa playing “hot hands” in the corner. You laughed as Mikasa gagged after Sasha got butter all over her hands. Pieck walked off to go meet hitch at the counter to get some candy. You giggled to yourself and told the girls that the movie was going to start soon and yall should probably head to yalls seats.

Finally, in yalls seats waiting for the movie to begin, you were sat between Sasha and Mikasa. You were definitely closer to these two than you were anyone else. Yall had been a trio since fourth grade and nothing could ever split yall apart. Nothing. All of the ladies were quite touchy with each other, it was all platonic of course. Why wouldn’t it be? Sasha snatched your right hand and hugged your shoulder burying her nose in the crook on your neck as a monster popped out at the screen. “Why would you choose a horror movie when you can't handle them” you whispered to Sasha to which she replied “because I like the way it makes me feel y/n, I get all tingly and itchy” you rolled your eyes holding back a chuckle so you wouldn’t disturb the others during the quiet scene.

You felt a slight tug at your left hand as Mikasa habitually grabs your hand. She tends to do that when she has nothing to do with her hands, it “helps her stay focused” she has explained to you a million times. Between Sashas breath on your neck and Mikasa drawing circles on your hand with her index you couldn’t help but squirm. You go to whisper something about the movie to Mikasa when she goes to do the same, your faces come within an inch of each other, noses barely touching you feel her breath out her nose as it fans across your lips. Your face turns bright pink as you halt in surprise. “I wanted to point out that actor….. Since we’ve spoken about them before…” she spoke softly. You replied with a small “me too…”. Yall have yet to part until you are broken up by screams as the movie takes a turn and Sasha yanks your arm “AHHHHH Y/N HELP!!!!!” Sasha screams in a high-pitched tone. You turn breaking your eye contact with Mikasa “Sasha! Be quiet we arent the only ones here!” you jab at her as you apologetically smile at the others in the theatre. You momentarily forgot about the moment you and Mikasa had until she takes her hand and places it on the back of your neck. Thumb swiping up and down, she pulls you a bit closer to whisper “awfully close weren’t we…” she lets that sentence linger before playfully giggling and removing her hand from your nape.

The movie was finally over and you were one of the last to leave your seat, since you decided to pick up all the popcorn Sasha had dropped after one of the jumpscares, you stand up, lifting your arms towards the ceiling, stretching and letting out a soft moan. You felt hands slither from the small of your back to the front of your hips “wow y/n, you have a hot moan. Whoever sleeps with you must be lucky” Ymir says before shifting you to the side to make way for her and historia. “Ugh, Ymir how many times do I have to tell you it’s not ladylike to talk about such things so casually” “I know I know I’m sorry... But it had to be pointed out” Ymir shrugged “she does have a point y/n.. You have an attractive voice it makes sense your moans would be..” historia pitches in and she looks you up and down before continuing “h o t” she lingers on the t a bit before moving on. You could feel your arousal pooling. The ladies seem different tonight... Maybe it’s just you... Maybe it’s not... They walk out and you follow suit.

You decide to ride with hitch since yall haven’t spoken a lot tonight, you ask her about life and she goes on to rant about her boyfriend noting that he’s not good in bed and she hates his haircut, she finishes her rant off with “ugh maybe I should just switch to girls! You’d date me right y/n?” you pause for a moment then reply with a simple “who wouldn’t!” a simple sentence yet complex at the same time. She turns to you and examines your face “you know I think id be a top if I were with a girl… in fact, you’d make a perfect bottom for me..” her eyes linger a bit too long, your skin crawling whilst illuminated by the red light yall were stopped at. It flashes green and her eyes return to the road “of course if I was single and into girls hahaha” she plays it off.

Yall arrive at the bar shortly after Sasha and Mikasa who had taken the same car and followed by Ymir who carpooled with historia. Mikasa and Sahsa hand out everyone’s paper wristbands, Sasha stops in front of you takes your hand, and putting it on for you. She didn’t do it for anyone else… just you. You decided you were overthinking and you moved on, walking into the club you were bombarded with loud music busybodies and the smell of alcohol. You were stressed, so many people, so many noises, so many smells. It was overwhelming, to say the least. Pieck noticed your uneasiness and placed her hand on the small of your back, she led you to a dark hallway filled with heavy pheromones and kissing partners, past that was a bathroom to which she leads you, pushed you in, followed after you, and locked the door. “Wh-” pieck covered your mouth with a single finger, “I noticed your stress, we can leave if you need y/n” a look of sorrow on her face. “No I’m fine it was just a lot at once I’m sorry, I’m okay now” you push out with a soft smile. Her body moving closer to you she wraps an arm around you pulling you closer “baby… tell me if you need anything, mmkay?” she purrs into your neck giving it a soft peck. Your arousal beginning to pool again you squeeze your thighs.

She excuses herself letting you go and leaving the bathroom. Turning around to face the mirror you scold yourself for acting the way you are when your friends are just being nice, they’d probably feel so grossed out if they knew your cunt was getting all nice and soaked for them, you thought. “Maybe I just need to relieve some stress… yeah that's all it is… built-up stress…” you hiked up the mini skirt that you decided to wear today above your hips and you pulled your new pink lace panties to the side. Beginning to slide your fingers over your unclothed clit the door rattles “hey bear, pieck said you weren’t feeling well so I brought you a dri-” historias sentence is cut short when she looks up to see you sitting on the counter sprawled open like a book. “I’m so so-” you begin before she hurriedly shuts and locks the door behind her.

“I- i- can explain-” she cuts you off before you get a chance to explain “oh bear..” a slight purr in her voice “who knew you had such a perfect pussy?.. All this time you’ve been hiding it from me?” she pouts, you’ve never seen her act this way much less talk this way before. Shocked by her actions you freeze, she steps closer and peers up into your eyes, lifting a hand to show she has her pinky and index slightly bent, she speaks “..may I?” if this was any other night you would freak out, apologize, get dressed quickly and leave, but for some reason you cant. “Please do” a slight whininess in your voice. Taking her ring and middle finger she traces a line from your entrance to your clit making you twitch once she reaches the small bud. She chuckles a bit and continues, pushing her middle finger into you, slowly but surely, you lay your head back resting it on the mirror. A low groan leaves her throat as you tighten around her finger “y/n… can I ask you a question? Hmm?” “nghh yes” you manage to push out through cries and moans. “You’re a virgin aren’t you, bear? Nobody has ever touched this perfect little body. Nobody has ever stuck their fingers in you either, huh?” you nod trying to keep sane while her pace quickens, you squint your eyes shut forcing tears out and down the sides of your face. Your response influenced her as she moved faster prodding another finger at your entrance and pushing it in with her other. “Ahh fuck ‘ri’” RI was a name you’ve called her since yall first met, originally made because you couldn’t remember her full name but it kind of just stuck throughout the years. “I’m gonna- I think I’m g-” cut off by the feeling of her warm tongue prodding your clit, dangerously licking and lapping, boy did she know how to please, and that she did. “RI oh shit” you grab a fistful of her hair as your orgasm hits, continuing to finger fuck you and lightly lick your sensitive bud she helps you ride out your high. “..- first, right?” you couldn’t make out what she said through your hazy mindset “what RI?” she repeats “I was your first, right??” you nod with lazy eyes, she smiles a big smile then gives you a sloppy kiss, you groan into her lips.

She cleans you up then helps you off the counter. Now realizing what had just happened you panic pushing out a quick “oh my goodness ri I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to put you in that position” she chuckles “don’t worry bear there are plenty of other positions I plan to have you in” before you could really digest that she tugs at your wrist leading you out to the main hallway and back to your groups of friends. The night has only begun….

Peter 3 Tickle Headcanons (Ler)

Peter 3 is the most teasy ler ever

He loves doing baby teases with his brothers! Peter 1 gets all defensive about not being little or cute (unfortunately for him, he is) and Peter 2 gets SO blushy, mans does not know how to handle it at all

He thinks anticipation is really fun too! He likes to wiggle his fingers over a bad spot, chase someone just for fun before making any real effort to take them down, or even just smirk and wiggle his fingers at someone from across the room (side note, anticipation kills him whenever he's the one getting tickled, but we'll save that for later)

He's super sweet but absolutely DEADLY

Will tickle someone for any reason at all

Peter 1 tried to steal his food? Tickles. Gwen stressed about work? Tickles. Peter 2 doubting himself? TICKLES.

He's super physically affectionate and tickles are absolutely a part of that

He just loves seeing the people he loves laughing and he wants them to have fun and just let themselves be carefree sometimes

Tickle hugs are some of his favorite things to do

He just really likes holding someone close and being able to tickle their sides or ribs while nuzzling their neck, giving them raspberries, tickle kisses or whispering teases in their ear

Raspberries are also a specialty of his and he's really good at them

Peter 2 and Peter 3 have had numerous contests over who has the best, most tickly raspberries

Unfortunately for Peter 1, he somehow always ends being the judge

Spoiler alter, Peter 3 has the best raspberries! He say its all about the stubble/breath support combo

He finds people's killer spots quickly and then Never Forgets where they are

Most of the time when he's tickling, Three is gonna keep it relatively easy to make sure that the other person A) is having fun and B) doesn't get tired out too quickly, but he almost always wraps up by mercilessly tickling their worst spot for a while

He's super good at gaging reactions and figuring out what methods tickle most, where people's favorite spots are, etc

Don't even think about trying to hide your reactions or pretend you aren't ticklish, its only gonna make him be more intent on figuring it out

Speaking of taking note of reactions, Peter 3 is ALWAYS watching for any sign that his lee isn't having fun or wants to stop

Boundaries and consent are SUPER important to him, as they should be, and he often stops or lightens up to check in with his lee and make sure what he's doing is okay

He'll also do stuff like say what he plans on doing next if he thinks it might tickle a lot for them or try to get them say where he should tickle next

He definitely comments on people's laughs, pointing out if they make a specific sound when one spot gets tickled or even just how cute and happy it is

He wouldn't actually tease someone about their laugh though because he can sometimes be insecure about his laugh and knows what its like to have it pointed out

He likes playing little tickle games like telling someone to try not to laugh, not to move, or to try and keep their arms up

If Peter 1 needs help studying or is stressed about a test coming up, Peter 3 will tickle him and have him answer random questions about whatever it is he's studying

"See bud, I told you you didn't have anything to worry about!" *cue Peter 1 blushing like crazy* "Shuhuhuht UUHUP!"

He likes doing the thing where you act like you're cracking an egg on someone's knee to the other Peters and they freak out every time but they can never figure out how to do it back to him

Likes doing wake up tickles on his brothers and Gwen

One time he tried to tickle Otto but the payback was so bad that he couldn't' look him in the eyes the rest of that night without bursting into giggles so he didn't try that again!

Is always down for post tickle cuddles or nap if his lee wants it

Over all, Peter 3 cares very much about making tickling a fun thing for everyone but don't let him tickle you unless you want to get absolutely wrecked!

Too bad he can't take what he dishes out...

#peter parker #spiderman tickle #ler peter 3 #peter parker tickle #marvel tickle #hope you guys enjoy this one!#my writing

I ACCIDENTALLY ASSOCIATED A SONG WITH BYERGROVE AND MY NATURAL RESPONSE WAS TO EXPLAIN IT IN WAY MORE DETAIL THAN NECESSARY SO HERE-

The song is 'nothing (in my head)' by Pinkshift

Jonathan POV, Billy POV, both

In my head In my head I've been trying to turn out the lights - shut himself away like he does in his darkroom so he can be happy Shut out the lights so he can ignore how stressed and burnt out his role in the family is making him Never mind I never knew a dark room could be so nice - escapism through photography/it's easier to remain in ignorance of his own suffering than to admit the hurt I tried to stop - tried to stop being the ‘queer freak’ he was condemned for being/tried to stop thinking about how unhappy he is in life I tried to stop looking up, it's been hurting my neck - tried to stop looking up to and idolising an abusive father On a screen On a screen on a screen on a screen, gonna scream that I - only place he can capture and express emotion is on the screen of his camera OR his ignoring of his problems to focus on his photography isn’t enough and he’s overflowing and about to break and scream

I feel so goddamn numb - numb and drained from being the carer in his home even though he’s young and traumatised I can't feel you anymore - doesn’t know if he can allow himself to feel his love for Billy because he has a role to take up in his family Can I, can I please be done? - in the next breath, he wants to let go of this responsibility. He wants to let go and be done with it, able to be himself and let himself love who he does and just take happiness in that, even though he’s struggling to I can't stay trapped inside this box much longer, oh no - doesn’t think he can handle being stuck in this ‘box’ that his role in his family and societal views of him has trapped him in

In my head I'm trying to turn out the lights - trying to shut out the ‘lights’ so that he can stay ignorant and in the dark of his own problems because thinking about them hurts And I can't ever seem to shut them out - but it doesn’t work so easily for him. He doesn’t have the outlet of his photography so he’s stuck dwelling in it Tried to turn down the noise and arguments - tried to dwell less on the fights his parents had when they were together because he was just a little kid 'Cause I don't wanna fucking hear it now - he didn’t want to have to listen to that, he just wanted a normal, happy life Never thought I would be the fly - fly on the wall? Watching and observing but not a part of the things going on. He’s seen as a pest, disgusting and unwanted That's trapped inside the jar of rotting fruit and wine - trapped inside a situation that’s designed to kill him even if it once may have had the potential to be something good, that situation being his abusive home life And their eyes are peeled to watch me drown - the kids at school? They watch him with awe and worship, which will end in them having the front row seat for his inevitable collapse. Susan and Max? They see the abuse he faces from Neil with peeled eyes but yet aren’t doing anything, just watching on as he drowns Was never supposed to make it out alive - his pessimistic outlook. He knows this is a situation he can’t heal from alone, and no one had ever reached out to help him so he believes he was never supposed to (or wanted by anyone to) survive. This is just how it was always going to be.

I feel so God damn numb - so used to this suffering and entirely accepted that he’s going to be ruined by this - that he’ll either die or live his life irreparably messed up - that he’s just numb to it. He doesn’t even care anymore I can't feel you anymore - he can’t let himself feel these things anymore. He’s begun to believe Neil’s shit and thinks he's incapable of and undeserving of happiness. He thinks he’s physically unable to love and be with Jonathan. Can I, can I please be done? - more leaning towards just giving up than Jonathan. Entirely depressed. But also part of him does long to escape and be free. I can't stay trapped inside this box much longer, oh no - he doesn't think he’ll be able to survive in this abusive environment much longer

I don't want to be here, tell me "Go home" - doesn’t want to be in Hawkins, with Neil, trapped in his social role, anything. He wants to be free to go to an actual home, or flee back to Cali. OR he’s so used to not being cared for, and for the people that he loves to turn him away, that he’s not sure he wants to be there and risk it, despite his love for Jonathan. He wants Jonathan to send him away already so that he doesn’t have to live with false hope for much longer. I can't ever breathe here, tell me "Don't go" - He can’t breathe in his home environment, too overburdened with responsibility. He’s so used to being needed that he doesn’t know how to function outside of his role as big brother looking after his family, and he almost needs them to tell him “don’t go” because of this. OR he feels he’s holding his breath with Billy because he doesn’t know if he can have something like this. He’s desperate for assurance that he is wanted here because he almost needs this. I could never feel here, can't you let go? - they both think they’re not equipped to handle this relationship despite their feelings. They couldn’t feel what they need to because they’ve never known how. They need the other to give up so they can run (and yet keep clinging back to each other even as they try to push each other away) I could never be here, tell me "Don't" - they can’t just leave what their home lives are like, no matter how they might want to. They need the other to tell them not to try anyway because otherwise they will. OR they need each other’s permission to stop the act because they can’t be here with each other while still pretending

I feel so goddamn numb - commiserating with each other that they’re struggling I can't feel you anymore - One last attempt at pushing each other away, less because they’re actually trying and more because they feel they should Can I - can I please be done? - asking permission to finally give in and allow themselves to heal like they’ve been longing to all along Can't stay trapped between these walls much longer, oh no - deciding that they will break out of this, because they can’t do it anymore. They don’t want to suffer.

#byergrove #*sighs* yeah this is now in my head #most of this is fairly straightforward but i explained it for my own amusement and benefit so whatever #will anyone care other than me? probs not but here

Uhhh....so

I don't know why I'm so nervous but I just finished episode 9. The last call totally freaked me out. And even worse we will only have one episode more.

God. What will happen in that.

After ep 9 I get the feeling that we would never be able to find hannah or maybe she's dead.

Or maybe it would be something like this.

The mwaf would kidnap them all and would take them to where hannah is. Then he would video call us to show that he's gonna kill them. But till then we would have informed Alan about it and tracked our friends with the help of jake.

I also think that the mwaf would be dead on the spot, we'll get hannah and other friends. Then the game would end there.

Everbyte won't give us a chance to go back to the chat after the video call of mwaf. And maybe after mwaf would die, jake would video call us (with his face hidden and voice distorted ) and thank us for helping him. And that's it. It would end there. We won't get to know what would happen after hannah was found.

I don't think jake would be found by government or something. Neither I think everbyte will ever give us more information about jake. It would always be a mystery that no one will get to know.

Now about episode 9

I think this episode was much more realistic than the previous ones. It's mainly because of hannah's phone.

And I hoped we will have a chat about police that if they went to that house or not. But unfortunately we didn't have. After this we sure can say that Michael Hanson is mwaf. But then there's one more thing. We didn't get to talk about Phil. He's still in jail. Would he ever come out. And what about darkness? I think his part is over from the game.

But how will everbyte answer all this in just one episode. The 10th one which would be final.

There are so many things left out. They can't just finish it all in one episode.

I know it's just a game and it had an end. Bur still, I will miss jake. I'm getting sad that after that we won't be able to talk with jake.

Uhhmmm......anyways.....so about richy and Phil. I think most probably richy would be dead. It's because everything cannot have a happy ending. And the mwaf won't take that much of a stress to injure someone then kidnap them and provide food and all. Richy was vomiting blood from his mouth so without immediate medical attention he would have died till now. And there's no way the mwaf would have treated his wounds. So richy is dead.

And about Phil. .....well I don't know how he will have an ending. Maybe he'll get released from prison or he might have some connections with mwaf or maybe he have some of his own secrets.

There's one more thing, at the end of video call jessy screamed. But why? Did the mwaf enter that cabin.

Mwaf is dangerous. But what weapon does he have? A crossbow or knife or something. Definitely not a gun. So it's like one person will injure and kidnap 5 people. Doesn't make that much sense unless he is very strong and trained. But Michael must be of around in his 50s or 60s. So he's kinda old.

Now on the topic of hannah. So, she is the one who drove the car over Jennifer with Amy beside her.

We get that she was a child back then and it was an accident, but still they buried the body. And IT IS A CRIME. So wouldn't it be cruel if hannah is rescued and the dead Jennifer's father got killed. I mean yeah, mwaf way of handling things aren't good. He should have taken help of law for his daughter's justice but he chose the wrong path. It also may like that the police didn't help him. Remember when Jennifer was missing police took no serious measures to find her and when her dead body was found it was declared an accident.

I have more to say and more theories but I'll post it in next post.

Folklore [song series]

this is me trying

Modern Day AU! Steve Rogers x OC!Reader; Bucky Barnes x Natasha Romanoff

Plot: Inspired by Taylor Swift’s new album folklore. The story follows the timeline of Bucky and Elizabeth’s life throughout the years.

word count: 3592

[a/n: I’m so sorry that it’s taken me so long to update this and my other story. i’ve been busy with school and work. thank you for your continued patience and support]

previous part

Series Masterlist

Age: 20 Year: Dec. 2014 Location: Brooklyn, NY

"How have you been James?”

Bucky looks out the window to his right. Hands grasped together in his lap as he sits on the dark green sofa across from the woman he's been seeing for the last 5 months.

He ponders the question, making sure to answer it honestly. He looks back at her giving her his full attention again.

"Good," he answers truthfully, a small smile planted on his face. Life has been good. School is going incredibly well. My job is going better than I could've imagined. Really learning a lot."

"How are things going with Natasha?" The older lady asks.

“Great. Really great," Bucky says with a slightly bigger smile.

"Good. I'm glad to hear that," she smiles back, proud to the see progress James has made since his first visit moths ago.

After the blow up he and Steve had, Bucky fell into a depressive state. He refused to talk to anyone about what had happened. It wasn't until his younger sister Rebecca came to talk to him:

"I get you don't want to talk to any of us about what happened last week," she said as Bucky laid in bed looking out the window, his back facing her, "But you can't just stay in bed, hiding for the world. Starving yourself isn't going to solve anything.

"Sulking is only going to make you worse. It's not healthy, Buck. We're all worried. Ma is incredibly worried. She's barely been eating. I hear her wandering the house at all hours, because she can't sleep."

"You don't want to talk to us, fine. But you need to talk to someone. If not for yourself, but for Ma. Please," she begs, before leaving Bucky alone to ponder what she said.

He knew he wasn't coping the healthy way. He hadn't realized how much he was affecting his family by shutting down. The last thing he wanted to do was worry his mother. So he got himself up, took a shower, ate breakfast with his family. They were surprised to see him come down, but tried not to draw any extra attention to it. Rebecca gave him an understanding nod, which he reciprocated. After breakfast, he began his research. He decided to listen to Rebecca's advice and find someone to talk to someone to help him make sense of what is going on in his mind.

And that's how he ended up in Dr. Abraham's office.

"Have you contacted Steve yet?" She asks.

"No," he answered fiddling with his fingers, "I feel embarrassed about the way I reacted."

"That's normal, James," she assured him, "But in order to repair any damage that's been cost, you need to talk to Steve. To move forward. From what you've told me he's a very understanding person. I'm sure once you've apologized and explain to him the steps you've taken to help your mental health, I'm sure he'd be willing to accept you back into his life."

"I'm not so sure," he looked down at his hands.

"You won't know until you've tried. Listen, I'm not here to tell you what to do or what not to do. I'm just here to help you navigate your thoughts a little better. In a more healthy way. If you're really serious about living a more healthier mental life, I think you should talk to him. You don't want to really throw this lifelong friendship away, do you?"

"No, I don't," he shakes his head.

"Good. Remember to be honest," she tells him, "Vulnerability isn't a bad thing. Your feelings aren't a nuisance. it's how you handle them is what matters. I'm not saying you have to talk to him as soon as you walkout of here. I just want you to start making the notion of doing so. Our time is just about up, how about we do this. Some homework for the week.

"I want you to write a letter to Steve. Bring it in next week, you don't have to read it. But I would like to discuss it. What do you say?"

"Okay, I could do that," he agreed.

Christmas week

Steve and Elizabeth flew back home a few days before Christmas. They put their bags in the trunk of their rental car.

The car ride was silent for awhile, both tired after a long flight, now sitting in traffic on their way back to their parents' place. This would be their first time back to Brooklyn since the whole Bucky situation. The road trip back to California was fun, but there was a looming sadness over Steve. It's not like he regrets standing up to Bucky he doesn't. He just wishes thing would've played out differently. He really wished Bucky would've talked to him before he left back to California.

"How are you feeling about being back?" Elizabeth asks, while they sat in traffic.

"I don't know," Steve sighs, "Feels weird going back home and not talking to Bucky."

"Maybe you should try calling him. It's been a few months. I'm sure he'd be willing to hear you out," she said, rubbing his right arm.

"I don't want to push him," Steve said through gritted teeth, his grip on the steering wheel getting tighter.

Bucky had been a touchy subject the last few months. During the first month Elizabeth would ask Steve if he'd heard from him, the answer always being no, followed by Steve shutting down. After that Elizabeth stopped asking, noticing how much it was affecting Steve, but the constant reminder of it wasn't helping. She knew that if Bucky ever did call, Steve would tell her. The only thing she could do was be patient and be there for Steve whenever he needed her.

The holidays kept everyone busy. On Christmas Eve. Steve spent it with Elizabeth's family at her grandma's house. Elizabeth found herself watching Steve play with her younger cousins, she couldn't help but giggle when they roped him into a tea party. She found herself imagining a future where Steve would do the same with their own children. She quickly shook the daydream away. Reprimanding herself a little for even thinking about kids at their young age.

On Christmas morning Elizabeth and Steve spent it with his parents. It was a nice peaceful day just lounging around in their pajamas. For dinner, Elizabeth's parents went over to have dinner at the Rogers' house. It was a nice little send off dinner for their parents who were leaving for Mexico to spend the New Years for a couples' getaway.

Elizabeth and Steve were heading to the Hamptons to spent NYE with Wanda, Thor, Loki, and Scott. They had planned to have a nice, peaceful trip.

While Steve and Elizabeth were at the Hamptons, Bucky and Natasha were spending their NYE at his family's beach cottage in Port Washington.

They were cuddled on the couch surrounded by take out containers, watching the New Years Eve special waiting for midnight to happen.

Bucky got up about 15 minutes to midnight to grab something from the kitchen. He walked back into the room with a new bottle of champagne and two champagne flutes.

"Got some champagne," he said holding it up for Natasha to see.

"Um," Natasha awkwardly shifted in her seat, "Actually about that."

Bucky looked at Nat confused, putting the bottle and flutes down on the coffee table before sitting back down next to her.

"What's wrong" he asked, grabbing the tv remote to mute the tv, and give Natasha his full undivided attention.

"So there's something I haven't told you," she says looking down at her fidgeting fingers.

"You're worrying me Nat," Bucky said, grabbing her hands to help ease her nerves

She looked up to meet his worry filled eyes.

"I'm pregnant," she announced.

Bucky eyes widen at her announcement, instantly dropping her hands. The look on her face showing she was telling the truth.

"How is that possible?" He asks in disbelief, "We've been so careful. We use double the protection. Condoms and you're on the pill."

"Actually about that," she nervously shifted under his intense gaze, "I haven't been on birth control in a little over two months."

"What?" Bucky yelled, quickly rising from his seat, "What do you mean you haven't been on birth control in a little over two months?"

"I got off of it," she shrugged trying to play it off, "It's my body and I can do what I want with it. And I just wanted to give my body a break, I've been on the pill since I was 15."

"I get it's your body, Natasha, I'm all for you doing whatever you want," he stresses, "but you should've told me. I'm your boyfriend, we have sex frequently. You should've at least had the respect of your sexual partner, letting him know that you were no longer on birth control. So in that case I could've been a tad more careful."

"We were using condoms," she half heartedly defended herself.

"They aren't 100% effective Natasha," he gripped his hair, in complete disbelief over this entire conversation, "You even know that. That also doesn't defend yourself for not telling me. You should've told me."

"I'm sorry. It's not like I was planning for this to happen," she yelled.

Bucky just stared at her like she just grew two heads. How is she not freaking out, he thought. They were clearly way too young for this. Which is why they took precautionary measures.

After a few moments of silence Natasha spoke up, "I'm keeping the baby."

Bucky didn't know what to say. He felt the room closing in on him. He started having a hard time catching his breath.

"James," Natasha quietly said, getting up to check on him. He raised his hand, silently telling her to stay where she's at.

He headed for the back door, the house felt too suffocating for him. He walked through the the small yard to the gate that led to the beach. Stumbling around.

To a stranger they would just think he's drunk. In reality he was just having a panic attack.

It was all too much. His mind was racing.

She's pregnant. With a baby. My baby. I'm going to have a kid. I'm going to be a dad. I'm not ready to be a dad. My dad was shit. God I can't be like my dad. I'm not ready for all of this.

He put his hands on his knees, hunched over trying to catch his breath. But he just couldn't. He did the only thing he could think of. He pulled out his phone and dialed the only person he knew would help.

Steve and Elizabeth were laughing with their friends, waiting for the countdown to begin. Steve felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He moved his shoulder off of the back of the couch, where Elizabeth was cuddled up against.

He pulled his phone out and his heart dropped at the name that appeared. He quickly got up and walked out of the living room and upstairs to the room where he was staying in for the week.

Wanda raised her eyebrow at Elizabeth, who just shrugged her shoulders, equally as confused.

"Bucky?" Steve answered the phone, closing the door behind him. He could hear Bucky hyperventilating on the other side.

"Steve," he tried to get out.

"Buck, what's wrong?" Steve asked, pressing the phone even closer to his ear the sound of everyone downstairs counting down to midnight.

"Steve, I-," Bucky was struggling to get out.

"Buck, please try to calm down," Steve stressed, "Inhale, hold it for a few seconds and then exhale. You need to calm down. I can't help you, if I can't understand you."

Bucky tried his best to calm himself down, with Steve talking him through it.

"Now, can you explain to me what's wrong?" Steve asked, hearing Bucky's breathing leveling out more.

"I-I'm not re-ready Steve," Bucky stutters, sniffling his nose.

"It's okay take your time, I'm here whenever you're ready."

"No, it's Natasha.”

"What's Natasha? Is she okay?" Steve questioned, getting more concerned.

"Yes, she's fi-ine," he stuttered again, trying to say the words.

"Where are you Buck?" Steve asked, looking around for his shoes and keys.

"I'm at the beach cottage."

"I'm in the Hamptons. Is there any way you can meet me back at my place?"

"Yeah, I think I can," Bucky said a bit more calmer now.

"Okay, I'll see you soon."

When midnight struck Elizabeth went upstairs to check on Steve, making sure everything was okay. She could hear him on the phone talking to Bucky, trying to calm him down. She waited outside of the door to give them some privacy.

Twenty minutes later Wanda went to go check on them, to find Elizabeth sitting on the floor.

"Is everything okay?" She whispered.

"I don't know," she answered, "I'm waiting for Steve. You can head back down, I'll be down shortly."

"Okay. We're here if you guys need anything," Wanda said before walking back down.

After another 25 minutes Elizabeth heard Steve hang up the phone. She softly knocked on the door, and let herself in. She walked in to see Steve frantically going around the room collecting his things.

"Steve is everything okay?"

"It's Buck. He called me while he was having a panic attack. Something about Natasha," he tells her.

"Is she okay?"

"I think so. I was able to calm him down. I need to get back home," he said putting his things in his suitcase.

"Okay. I completely understand. Do you want me to go with you for the drive?" She asked.

"I don't want you to have to cut your time here short," he says, feeling guilty for bringing this on her.

"Steve, something is clearly going on with Bucky. I want you to go to him, but maybe it's best if I drove. I haven't had a drink in hours, and you seem too frantic. Please let me help," she pleaded, placing her hand on his stopping him.

Steve looked up and noticed the worry on Elizabeth's face.

"Okay," he gave in, "We'll need to leave as soon as we can."

Elizabeth nodded, quickly grabbing her weekender bag and start shoving things in. If they forgot anything's he knew Wanda would bring it back.

They said their quick goodbyes and were on the road within 5 minutes, with Elizabeth behind the wheel and Steve fidgeting in the passenger seat.

Bucky took a few minutes to himself on the beach, trying to make sure his anxiety was at rest before he headed back inside. When he entered the house, Natasha shot up from her seat.

"Happy New Years," she awkwardly said, trying to cut the obvious tension.

"Umm," Bucky scratched his head looking everywhere but at Natasha, "We need to leave."

"What?"

"I mean, you can stay if you want and I'll pick you up tomorrow," he rephrased, "But I can't stay here. I need to go. Steve is meeting me at his house."

"Steve?" She was taken back by that mention, not expecting to hear Bucky say his name. He hasn't mentioned Steve in months.

"Yeah, I called him," Bucky says rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well that's good right?"

"Yeah, listen. I really need to go, so are you going to stay or come with me?"

"To see Steve?"

"No. I would drop you off at your place," he tells her, "I'm seeing Steve alone."

"Will she be there?"

Natasha didn't really know exactly why Steve and Bucky weren't talking, at first. Then she heard that Steve and Elizabeth were dating, and it all made sense. The only person that could tear Bucky and Steve apart. She never told Bucky that she knew. Figured it wasn't worth the fight. Especially not now when she was carrying his child.

To an outsider it might seem like she got pregnant on purpose, but that wasn't the case. She knew they were too young for this, at least that's what she thought when she first found out about the pregnancy a week ago. But now that she's sat with it she's taking it as a sign that this is meant to happen. She's just really hoping that Bucky would see it, if not now but eventually.

"Listen, Natasha, I don't have time for this," he looks her in the eyes, "Are you coming or not?"

"I'll get my bag," she remarked with a snark tone, walking passed him to their shared room.

A couple of hours later Bucky was pulling up in front of the Rogers' house. 2:15 am read the clock in his car. He looked to his right, out the passenger side window to see a dark figure sat on the front steps of the house.

Bucky took one last breath before exiting the vehicle.

As soon as he opened the front gate Steve stood up from where he was sat on the stairs.

Once Bucky approached him both young men threw their arms around each other. Gripping each other tightly, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall. They stayed like that for awhile. Relishing in the comfort of being back in each other's arms. Their silent fight no longer important. All they knew in that moment was everything was going to be okay, because no matter what they'll always have each other.

Steve walked into his parents' living room holding two mugs of coffee. As he rounded the couch, he handed one to Bucky.

"Sorry, if I ruined any of your plans," Bucky apologized, "Tell Elizabeth I'm sorry for taking you away."

'Buck, don't worry about it," Steve waved him off, "She completely understands. And truth be told, I wasn't necessarily feeling in the New Year's mood."

"Yeah," Bucky sighs.

"Do you want to talk about what happened tonight?" Bucky nods his head, placing the coffee mug on the coffee table in front of him. He shifted his body to the left to face Steve.

"She's pregnant," he announces.

"What?" Steve asked, not expecting that to be the reason, he quickly placed his mug next to Bucky's.

"Yeah, my reaction exactly," Bucky said.

"What? How?"

"Apparently Natasha hasn't been on the pill in a couple of months," Bucky explains, "And even though we always used condoms, they aren't exactly 100% effective."

"Did you know she wasn't on the pill?"

"Nope," Bucky tells him, "If I knew I wouldn't been a bit more cautious."

"So she told you she was pregnant?" Steve said getting back to it.

"Yeah. She was so nonchalant about it. Like it was no big deal," Bucky stressed,

"How is she just so calm. We're not prepared for this. I'm not ready for this Steve. I can't be a dad. I don't even know how to be a decent human being."

"That's not true Buck," Steve disagreed.

"Come on Steve, we haven't talked in months, and we both know it's not because you didn't try," Bucky says, "I was so caught up in my own jealousy. And selfishness, that I never even considered your feelings or Elizabeth's. And I don't think I can ever make it up to you for treating you like you're nothing to me."

"You were hurt," Steve tried to excuse.

"Doesn't excuse the way I behaved," Bucky says, "I know that now."

"I've been seeing a therapist," Bucky informs him, "I never realized how much my mental health was taking a toll on those around me. So after our fight, I found someone to talk to. To work through the shit that's going on in my mind."

"How's that been going?" Steve asked.

"Good," Bucky gives a half smile, "Really good. She's good. I've realized a lot about myself that I didn't know. Working through all the issues I've had with my father leaving."

"That's good Buck. I'm proud of you, truly," Steve beamed, patting Bucky on the shoulder.

"I really am sorry for the way I behaved," Bucky repeated again.

"Buck, you really don't have to apologize again," Steve told him.

"I need to Steve," he said, "I can't believe I acted that way. I should've been happy for you and Elizabeth. I'm glad you two have each other. Seriously. I couldn't imagine her with anyone better, same goes for you. I won't cause any more issues for you two. It's not worth not having you in my life. You're my brother Steve, and I don't want to miss anything."

"Thanks, Buck. It really means a lot to me to hear that," Steve smiles, "Because I don't want to miss anything in your life also."

"Yeah, especially now," he says, the reality of why they're there dawning back.

"How are you feeling now about the baby?"

"I don't know, man," Bucky shakes his head, "I'm afraid I'm going to screw this up, like everything else."

"But now you're working on that," Steve reminds him, "And you're not going to be doing this alone. You have people who are always going to be there. I may be in California now, but I'm just a phone call away. You're not alone. But you do have to try Buck. That's all that you can ever do. Try your best, no one's asking you to be perfect, but as long as you're trying your best, that's what's important."

Age: 21 Year: 2015

The sounds of a baby crying woke Bucky up from his sleep in the early depths of the morning. He quietly and quickly got out of bed, making his way to the small New York kitchen to make a bottle.

He walked into the small nursery where the two-month-old baby wailed from hunger.

"It's okay," Bucky shushed gently, picking up the small baby, "Daddy's here."

He adjusted the small baby in his arms before placing the bottle in the baby's mouth.

"There you go," he encouraged the small one, as soon as he heard the sounds of the baby drinking.

Bucky sat down on the chair in the corner of the room, opposite of the crib. He just stared as the newborn drank their bottle, while simultaneously falling asleep. Even though he was completely exhausted, he had never felt more happier. More at peace with where his life was at.

As long as he kept trying his best, he knows he can do this for the rest of his life.
