Hey bro, whats up? My frat is pretty well known for some of the stuff we put our pledges through. This year we were thinking of using the chronivac to liven things up a bit. Got four eager pledges and we wanted to see if you had any presets or ideas for each of em. Was thinkin' of turning each of em into a different frat bro stereotype, but wanted to get your thoughts on it. Thanks man!
This year you guys need to recruit some of the smart lads. Your academic performance has been so poor the last few semesters that many of your alumni have threatened to cut your allowances. The nerds who applied all have IQs beyond 140, but if they moved into the frat house, they'd have to wear a paper bag on their head all day, they're that ugly. Let's see what we can do with Chronivac.
Richard is the first. The questionnaire is filled out in handwriting, as if a little girl had applied. He has entered a dash for daily hours in the gym. You take over in the Chronivac times "two". The favorite place is the library. You change that to "Halfpipe". And he has entered a visit to the Vatican Library as his dream vacation. You change this to Nazaré.
Tumblr media
Quite a good start… Entrance exam passed. Ryder high-fives you and gets in the car to get his stuff. You are especially looking forward to his supply of first class weed.
Michael comes next. Fuck, he knits his own sweaters. And the dungarees look like they came from a department store. He also entered a dash at the gym classes. You take one. Favorite place is the big oak tree on campus. What a nerd! You'll change that to the men's department at Saks Fifth Avenue. And favorite vacation spot is no longer the Oregon woods. It's Florence for men's fashion week.
Tumblr media
You welcome Miles to your home. And give him the room in the frat house with the biggest closet.
After all, Frederick actually put down "one" in the daily gym classes. But the results of that one hour are well hidden under thick layers of fat. He needs at least two hours so you don't have to be ashamed of him. His favorite place until a few seconds ago was the pastry shop on the main street. How pathetic! You make it the swimming pool on campus in your file. And you turn a chocolatier class in Bruges as a favorite vacation into participation in the World Aquatics Open Water Swimming World Cup.
Tumblr media
Finn is not the emotional type. But you're sure he was happy to be accepted into the frat. Even if the movement of the corner of his mouth was barely visible.
Christian is by far the most intelligent of your pledges. Normally, you would chase him off the fraternity house grounds with water pistols. He tells you that he only applied because his father wanted him to. He thinks you are a miserable bunch of losers. He seriously filled in the questionnaire with hieroglyphics. The devil knows what he wanted to tell you. He sits across from you with his arms crossed in his stuffy clothes and doesn't say a word. Well, then, you just nurse Chronivac for the last new addition to the fraternity. Four hours in the gym, favorite place is his parents' hunting lodge on July 04, and his favorite vacation is Spring Break in South Beach.
Tumblr media
Chase is a hot candidate for fraternity newcomer speaker. A real smart cookie. But most importantly, a fraternity brother with a passion!
Bruhs, I hope you are happy with the new guys. I think they will all be an asset to your fraternity.
The pictures of the improved pledges I found at @stargazerguy, @richmuscly, @swimgod81-blog and @maxx-magnum

Knuckles - The Epilogue
Tumblr media
''Ohh, oh, oh, oh, ohh! Who's the hunter, who's the game? I feel the beat, call your name! I hold you close in victory! I don't wanna tame your animal style! You won't be caged in the call of the wild! Shootin' at the walls of heartache! Bang, bang! I am the warrior! Well, I am the warrior, and heart to heart you'll win! If you survive the warrior! The warrior! Shootin' at the walls of heartache! Bang, bang! I am the warrior! Well, I am the warrior, and heart to heart you'll win! If you survive the warrior! The warrior!''
– The Warrior by Scandal (Knuckles)
xXxXxXx
Knuckles the Echidna held his head up high proudly as he was driving his newly acquired motorcycle on the road back to Green Hills. He briefly reached for the brown fedora with a black band and three gold stars in red with gold lining circles at the front of the band to flick it up, nodding his head along with the song that was playing on Wade Whipple's smartphone, The Warrior by Scandal. He had already decided that this song was his jam and was more than happy to let Wade play it on loop as they were driving back home.
Wade in turn, was keeping a tight grip on his new bowling trophy, cheering and singing to the song. Not only did he prove his worth by beating his father who had abandoned him at TJ Maxx, Pistol Pete Whipple, at the Bowling Tournament in Reno, Nevada, but also aiding Knuckles in defeating that old crazy man, The Buyer, or whoever he was, who had allied himself with the two rogue G.U.N. Agents to steal Knuckles' power. He truly became a warrior in his own right.
''Finally, we are back at home! I shall ask Maddie to prepare a feast in celebration of our victory and regale my tribe with the tales of our adventure,'' Knuckles said joyfully.
''I'm sure they'll be excited to hear what had happened!'' Wade shouted enthusiastically, having to admit that he was also quite excited to brag to Tom and Maddie about his accomplishment. Both of them were certain that they would be welcomed at Green Hills with open arms.
xXx
''I got it, I got it!'' Tails managed to catch the baseball Sonic had thrown, with the two playing catch in the backyard. He flew up, about to throw it back at Sonic, when both of them heard the sound of an engine and Tails saw who had just arrived. ''It's Knuckles! Knuckles is back!''
''What?'' Sonic was surprised, with Tails beckoning the blue hedgehog to follow him to the front driveway. Both of them were stunned to see the echidna riding on a motorcycle with Wade sitting behind him and holding a trophy. Sonic and Tails were happy to see the person who was basically their older brother at this point, with Sonic elbowing Tails, a wide smile on his expression. ''See? I told you he'd be fine! I guess Knuckles just needed… eh, a motorcycle and a hat?''
''I guess he was on some kind of road trip with Wade,'' Tails said, drawing conclusion from what he saw.
To be honest, neither of them had a clue where Knuckles had vanished to and they did search for him after realizing that he wasn't anymore at the attic, but Sonic was confident that Knuckles would be just fine. Tails was a bit worried about Knuckles, but he had to agree with Sonic that their older brother had been through worse and that he would be back eventually. They both concluded that he had probably gone on some kind of quest worthy of a warrior and they were curious what it was about.
''Knuckles, where were you?'' Sonic asked as Knuckles and Wade got off the motorcycle. ''Also, what's up with the hat and the motorcycle? Have you decided to join the Hells Angels?''
''I don't know any of these Angels that live in Hell, and no, I didn't join them. Instead, I had decided to take up the task of training Wade Whipple into becoming a proper warrior and defeat his greatest enemy on the battleground of Reno, Nevada,'' Knuckles replied, turning to Wade.
''Well, I don't want to brag too much…'' Wade started, only to show Sonic and Tails the trophy he had, ''…but I completely destroyed my old man in the bowling tournament! Ha! My dad never saw it coming! You should've seen me!''
''You have earned your title as a warrior. Your journey is complete,'' Knuckles said. Wade gave him a sincere smile.
''I wouldn't have managed to get so far without you Knuckles. Thank you,'' he replied. Knuckles tipped his head and nodded in acknowledgement, then turned towards Sonic.
''I also owe a 'Thank you' to you, Hedgehog. Your speech may have been confusing and your methods have not suited my ways, but you were right. Green Hills… No, Earth is now my home,'' Knuckles told him, with Sonic chuckling, being quite happy to hear that. He placed a hand on Knuckles' shoulder, giving him a wide smile.
''I knew you'd come around eventually. Your place is here, with us, and all it took was a road trip to Nevada to realize that. As a matter of fact, I also had to go on a road trip to realize that I wanted to stay on Earth instead of going to Mushroom Planet,'' Sonic said. Knuckles hummed in thought.
''You never told me that. Perhaps, going on a road trip is necessary ritual to accept Earth as your home.'' Knuckles then turned to Tails. ''Then, you are the next one to experience a road trip, Fox.''
''N-No, thanks… I've already been on a road trip with Sonic in Siberia. I don't think I need another one,'' Tails replied.
The group was about to go inside the house, when they suddenly heard loud steps coming from inside and saw Maddie approaching them. Sonic and Tails' eyes widened, as they realized that they kind of forgot about the aftermath of Knuckles' sudden disappearance. To say that the matriarch of the Wachowski family was furious was an understatement. It all started when Maddie went upstairs to deliver Knuckles the plate with his dinner, only to find out that the echidna was completely gone. Then, all Hell broke loose.
''Sonic, Tails? Where is Knuckles? Have you seen him?'' Maddie asked, her expression the epitome of serenity, but her eyes blazing with motherly rage. Sonic and Tails looked at each other nervously, having been playing video games in the living room.
''Uh, no? We've been here the whole day,'' Sonic replied. Maddie narrowed her eyes, with Sonic offering an anxious smile.
''Are you sure? You haven't heard anything or seen anything…?'' she asked again, with Sonic knowing that look. He knew that, if Maddie ever caught them lying about Knuckles' whereabouts, they were doomed. She may have been their motherly figure, but Sonic felt that he'd rather go against a Dr. Eggman powered up with the Master Emerald again than deal with a furious Maddie.
''No, we didn't hear nor see anything. We would've seen Knuckles if he tried to get past us,'' Sonic replied.
''Maybe he escaped through the window?'' Tails suggested. Maddie sighed in frustration, grabbing her smartphone.
''I don't know, but he'll be in so much trouble when he gets home,'' she said, walking into the next room and calling Tom, followed by Wade, followed by every person she knew in Green Hills about Knuckles' whereabouts. Meanwhile, Tails turned back to Sonic with a worried look on his expression.
''Do you think that I should've used one of my holograms to pretend that Knuckles was still here?'' he asked.
''No, because if you did that, we'd be in huge trouble and trust me, you don't want to experience what happens when Maddie gets angry. We just have pretend that we didn't know that Knuckles went missing until now, and we'll be fine,'' Sonic assured him.
''Okay, but what about Knuckles? What if he's in danger? We should go search for him,'' Tails replied.
''You said it yourself, Knuckles is the greatest warrior in the galaxy, so I wouldn't worry about him getting into trouble. He probably had gone to do some soul-searching and will be back in no time,'' Sonic said in a confident tone. Tails went silent for a moment, then gave Sonic a look of concern, his eyes wide.
''Do you think that Knuckles may have decided that he doesn't want to stay here anymore, at Green Hills? With us?'' he asked. Sonic shook his head.
''Absolutely not! You know that Knuckles considers us his tribe and he wouldn't go back on his promise. We made a power bump and we're brothers at this point. He will return, I'm sure,'' Sonic said, with Tails nodding in acknowledgement. ''Besides, the Master Emerald is still hidden in our roon, and we both know he wouldn't go anywhere without it.''
Tails chuckled. ''Yeah, you're right about that.''
Back in the present moment, neither Tails nor Sonic felt like laughing when they saw a furious Maddie stomping over to Knuckles and Wade. Knuckles and Wade's proud grins immediately faded away when they realized that she wasn't as overjoyed to see them as they thought she would be. Maddie inhaled deeply, glaring daggers at both of them.
''Knuckles, where have you been? Do you know how worried I was?'' she asked.
''I was merely on a quest with Wade,'' Knuckles said, sensing the tension in the air. As for Wade, he realized that both he and Knuckles were in deep trouble, even though he technically didn't do anything to piss off Maddie. He was startled when she suddenly turned to him.
''Also, why haven't you called me and told me that Knuckles was with you the whole time?! I've been searching the whole town for him!'' she said furiously.
''Maddie, look… I think you should just calm down and let us explain…'' Wade said, slowly stepping back. Even if he was a warrior now, he knew how to pick his battles. Throwing bowling balls at a guy in a robot mecha while powered up with Knuckles' quills was nothing compared to an angry Maddie.
Maddie pinched the bridge of her nose and exhaled. ''Fine, but you-'' she pointed at Knuckles ''-are still grounded. How long you'll be grounded depends on your reasons for leaving.''
''I will accept my grounding with honor,'' Knuckles responded, also being well aware that there were some battles he simply couldn't fight, no matter how much he wanted to. He also figured that he wouldn't be punished for leaving once Maddie hears and understands his reasons. The group then walked into the house, with Sonic giving Knuckles an amused smile.
''I guess thinks can't get worse now, do they?'' he said.
''Don't worry, Hedgehog, I'm confident that I will be able to defend my case,'' Knuckles replied.
''Heh, we'll see about that,'' Tails said.
xXx
Unknown to Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, the situation actually got worse. Sort of. Of course, they believed that Dr. Eggman was gone and that G.U.N. wouldn't be bothering them again, and there were certainly no new adversaries attacking Green Hills, but the reason for that was because their new foe was miles away from Montana.
Nobody really payed any attention to the black and red hedgehog walking through a casino in Reno, figuring that he was just some kind of mascot or a guy in a costume. The hedgehog, in turn, was content with the lack of attention, solely focused on his own task. He paused for a moment, closing his eyes and focusing on the strange sensation that he felt, turning on his heel and walking towards the source of this sensation. He had already made the mistake to not follow his senses and instead focused on his memories, only to end up at a familiar bowling alley. Scoffing, he returned back to the other part of the building, being guided by this sensation.
He then stopped in front of a glass case, which displayed a bunch of trophies and photographs of previous winners of the bowling tournament, along with a green diamond-shaped gem inside it. He smirked, and his body became enveloped in orange sparking energy. The glass suddenly shattered as he punched through it, grabbing the green jewel.
''It all starts with this… A jewel containing the ultimate power…'' Shadow the Hedgehog stated, lifting the green Chaos Emerald up. His ears flicked when he heard people shouting, with the security guards arriving at the scene.
''What are you doing?! You can't just break the glass and steal-'' Before the security guard could even finish his sentence, Shadow furrowed a brow, shooting him a glare. He then held out the Chaos Emerald. ''There's no time for games… Farewell! Chaos Control!''
The security guard was left baffled when the hedgehog suddenly vanished into thin air. He then shook his head, deciding that he wasn't payed enough for this weirdness.
xXx
High above on a cliff overlooking Green Hills, there was a flash of light, revealing a small figure appearing seemingly out of nowhere. The figure narrowed his golden eyes, his body enveloped in cyan sparking energy.
''I hope that I'm in the right time. I can't let the future get destroyed!'' Silver the Hedgehog stated. ''I need to find that person, the wielder of the Flames of Destruction!''
He then flew up, his body covered in cyan energy, and flew towards where he believed his foe waited, determined to make sure that the future wouldn't turn into a desolate wasteland covered in flames and ashes.

[A letter, on Goldenrod Ecological Society letterhead, with Professor Bellamy Amaryllis's name at the top, but the word Professor on it has been crossed out. Included with the letter is a large Blaziken plushie, and a few different kinds of Unovan snack foods, along with a photo of Maxx the mareep being pet by Bellamy, seemingly in line for airport security. The photo seems candid.]
My friend,
I was quite worried by your last letter, and I am sorry it took me so long to respond. I have been speaking to Briar and Sandalwood about this, and while they deny upping your sedatives, they had said this pokemon, this 'Coyarde' may be making it more effective somehow?
I want to be very clear with you Ray, I believe you. I do not know why it is there, I do not know what it is it wants, but I am doing my best to get to the bottom of this in any way I can. I know it is a small comfort, if that, but I am doing my best to speak up for you.
In the line of small comforts, I had hoped you would like this, I tried to find one that looked like Scorchovia, and while it is not perfect I think it is quite cute. While Briar has tried to ensure me that they will stand vigil tonight and try to keep it at bay, I thought perhaps this also, may bring some small peace.
I'm sorry I can not be there myself. I hope I will be able to very soon... You have my number, I am here if you need me.
-Yours, Amy
<THE FOLLOWING TEXT HAS BEEN TRANSLATED FROM HOENNIAN VIA SPEECH TO TEXT>
Amy I will never understand why you're so nice to me or why you give me a nice things it's weird and I just I don't know I can't figure out why I don't really know but you're very nice
I want to believe that you just didn't know how bad it was going to be here
I think maybe in a world where love existed we would be like we would we would be friends I think like really good friends
I don't know man I'm just rambling to a piece of paper at this point and and Scorch keeps chirping at the plushie I don't know what that means but I think he likes it I think he's interested or something so yeah you made both of us happy and then we're happy and
It's getting kind of hard to see I'll write back tomorrow it's fine
Good night Amy

(Yet another incel debate)
Me: So do you believe women are loveless because of biology or conditions? Like if we just change laws and attitudes, we can know love more often or that...
Axel: I think ultimately Jim you're asking the wrong question. Like, I know you want to believe everyone can find love. You're a good person. But women don't love men. Men love women.
Me: Than why care at all? Why not sociopath maxx?
Axel: Many men do. But men love women. So like, for a functional society, we need to incentivize men to love women. Give them a reason to. We currently don't do that.
Me: Well I don't wanna agree with the premise, but I agree with the execution.
Axel: Of course you do. Ultimately you're driven by virtues such as rationality and fairness. BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN
Sarah: Jim is the only man for me. Like if anything, Jim sees me more as a means to an ends. I've come to terms with that. But like, I don't want another man. I never did. Jim has tried, and tried, and tried again to deny his feelings for me. Like if anything, Jim wants to believe love isn't real so he doesn't have to feel betrayal or failure. "I can't be wrong about what I did if this is all just horny, I can't be wrong about trusting someone if it was probably gonna happen anyway" Jim's insistence on equal outcomes to make sense out of an irrational world, ultimately means he copes with nihilism.
Axel: You say that yet...
Me: She's right Axel. Like I appreciate you think I'm just this goody two shoes, trust me makes my job a whole lot easier lol. But I worry, all the time. I worry my own stupidity hurt me, mistakes cost me and I'm selfish. Mistakes cost me love, joy, purpose. And sometimes it can hurt me even more knowing it hurts other people. Not often. I don't give a shit what happens to any of you lol.
Havoc: Gee thanks...
Me: But how do I live with myself knowing I hurt Sarah? How do I live with the fact that I hurt myself that way? I ruined something grand, something precious.
Havoc doing SpongeBob voice: SOILED IT SOILED IT...
Me: Esnackly lol
Sarah: lol and see that's why I love Jim. We've shoe-horned back onto the same feelings him through hyper egoism and me through selflessness. I want to be a good wife, a good mother. I want to ravage a boy with love and give him my all. Part of that is upbringing. Never feeling good enough because of my disabilities. Jim however, sees not having the good wife and mother as a personal attack. It makes him have to admit he's not perfect, I'm not gonna say "fragile masculinity" because he's extremely manly and hot precisely because he's so ambitious and driven to honor himself and his own integrity. He loves me unconditionally, even if he only observes it through the lens of selfish gratification.
Havoc: It sounds to me like Jim is just acting as the woman. "What if the roles were reversed?!"
Sarah: lol! What IF the roles were reversed?! Would it matter if the end result is the same?
Me: Nigga I just wanna be happy...
Sarah: Was that directed at me or Havoc?
Me: Too GOD (I dramatically act like I'm dying like that Peter Griffin as Mozart cutaway gag)
Sarah: LOL honey...
Me: You make me happy
Sarah: And I know you mean that. And it makes me happy.
Havoc: It's so cringe, but sweet.
Axel: It's all fun and games until one of them cheats or divorces or whatever. Since we're on the "whatever works" kick, does it matter if Sarah or Jim is the malevolent force? If Sarah is just a woman, or Jim is just a psychopath? What ultimately matters is, what incentive does Jim have to stick around?
Me: You know my incentive... My FEELINGS
Axel: Unh-huh... But what if Sarah died? What you just gonna be lonely? No. We know you. You slut around. You try and recover. It's commendable, I'm not saying you're bad for it. You refuse to give up, you ultimately wanna live and thrive. But if women are selfish awful creatures, we need a society that says "Jim gets financial incentives, or Jim has some sorta authority over the woman to ultimately mold her into what he desires" and to rebuild your Sarah from the ground up.
Sarah: If I can be rebuilt, than was it ever truly love?
Me: But if you can't, than what? Is love a tragedy or a blessing?
Sarah: Wouldn't it hurt you if I just tried to fill my void with guys that had your hair, your voice, your attitude?
Me: ...That's a good question. Like a part of me would be flattered certainly.
Sarah: LOL egotistical ass boy...
Me: But another part would hurt. Because I'd worry you could succeed, and I'd be forgotten. Replaceable. I'm not special. That's a pretty tall order for my ego.
Sarah: It is.
Me: I never meant to hurt you like that Sarah.
Sarah: I know you didn't hon. I know you didn't... You're just trying to live life. It's partially my fault too. Don't carry that burden of thinking you did everything wrong, you didn't. You make my heart and soul shine like...
Me: THIS MAKES ME THINK OF ANOTHER NICKELBACK SONG I LOVE YOU
Havoc: Bleh!
Sarah: LOL I wanna hear this Havoc. What song hon?
Me: Well as you know when I'm scheming, rockstar. Or when I'm trying to uphold my morals hero. Or when I'm talking politics how you remind me. Well this right here, if everyone cared.
Sarah: You're as much into Nickelback as I am into Backstreet Boys, explain.
Me doing a bad Nickelback impression: IF THEY COULD LOVE, LIKE YOU AND ME... IMAGINE WHAT, THE WORLD COULD BE
Sarah: lol! It's true...
Me: Confusing stars, for satellites, I never dreamed, that you'd be mine. But here we are, here tonight, and I say amen...I'm alive.
Sarah: I'm a little disturbed Nickelback fits you so well lol

Some OCs i made cuz A.I could never
Tumblr media
btw: this is in my own OC AU a.k.a. i like to suffer creatively, also their in the same AU as my last oc Ome
oc (insert matpat saying lore): tomei: so tomei was originally meant to be a voodoo doll that maddie made because she was getting buliied at school, they actually looked a lot different but didn't want to be a voodoo doll to they changed their appearance, first they had long brunette hair, a blue sun dress and green button eyes, then after learning they are a voodoo doll changed the way they looked to now.
teddison: so i pretty much went "hmmm, what if the thing (horror movie) and happy tree friends combined?" and this thing was born, so it's an alien disguised as a teddy bear, the circles on his cheeks are actually two of it's eyes (yes it has more, 8 to be exact) the star is the mouth kinda like the demogorgon from stranger things but really colourful, but the stripped thingeys coming from his tail are his tongue, and the hand is, well his hand, also he likes buttons, his name was actually gonna be buttons.
benny & darayavaush: they're twins that are pretty much the manifestation of maddie's siblings, maxx (girl btw)& jan, who are twins, also by the "manifestation" i mean maddie's like 6 and tried drawing them w/ two colours, also yes darayavaush has braces, benny's actually blind but ✨Lasik✨
BoB: imagine that one plush you had as a little kid got possessed by some other dead child (man maybe i should stop watching FNAF timeline vids, it's starting to seep into my OCs) that's pretty much what BoB is (and yes the two capital Bs are necessary) BoB is just the soul of a german victorian child the died in a house fire caused my his father's mistress (ya'll that doctor phil family problems were bad) also because we're talking about a victorian child BoB nearly had a fvcking stroke after eating a hershey's kiss, so now he really likes chocolate.
🌧️(thought i was joking when i said this was his name): so 🌧️ is kinda like teddison (btw if you're confused on what to call him his friends call him cloudy or rain cloud) like he's an alien but unlike teddison 🌧️ can't shape-shift so what 🌧️ is is a red blob with two dot eyes (if you look right above his fake eye's you'll see them) and his mouth is on his stomach like a stingray, because of 🌧️'s lack of the ability to shape-shift he drew some eyes, cut them out, super glued them under his own, and drew a smile with a green sharpie, and yes those blue noodles on his side are his actual hands, he also really likes taylor swift.
Maddie: maddie's just a 6 y/o child whose mother keeps trying to make wear an ungodly amount of pink, not the good shades either like dusty rose or baker-miller, like neon magenta and nothing else, you can see she's very upset that her voodoo didn't work, also that granny yellow & white garment she's wearing is literally the only thing she's has that isn't bright magenta, also i know yall probably don't care but she's ✨asian✨ specifically Chinese (which means imma have to do so much research on chinese culture if i ever post her again cause i'm fvcking hispanic and literally don't know a single chinese person), also, she does like ✨cooking tree✨ (btw if u don't know what that is it's a youtuber).

yay I'm not the only one who still loves it <3 I love hearing about your experiences so I think I'll throw some of my own in the ring too :D
I think elsewhere has definitely become my favorite era/album and I remember it was also when I was closest with other people in the sio community! I remember when the arg first started I was in like junior year of high school and whenever it was a study hall or lunch for me I'd comb through the puzzles and evidence from the website with other people in maxx and cody's streaming discords! I think they were called project x and the chaos collective? I'm not sure I haven't watched their streams in years lol. I remember when skeleton first dropped and I stayed up until midnight just to listen to it even though I had school the next day.
gosh I remember when the music videos came out and like everyone I knew who liked sio had screenshots of the music videos as their profile pictures lol. I may not have been the first to find most of the stuff on the welcome 2 elsewhere site but I helped collect screenshots and make theories with the rest of the fanbase and it truly was a feeling like no other because it was just so fun!!
when they toured with simple plan and sum 41 they actually went back to the merch booths after opening and I got to meet all three of them! they were super nice and I even got a hug from cody :D I almost passed out honestly lmao. I still have my projector shirt, my skeleton hoodie, and a concert shirt that they autographed!
it makes me so nostalgic and happy to think about elsewhere even if it wasn't all that long ago. the aesthetics, the args, the music, and everything else was unmatched and honestly i haven't really felt a strong want to listen to the new singles because this new era seems kind of dull compared to elsewhere... also I remember the implosion of maxx's discord because I watched it happen in real time. I think I just started drifting from the community too after the ""scandals"" because everything just sort of left a bad taste in my mouth.
I still listen to elsewhere regularly and I wear the hoodie every chance I get but man I really gotta make more art for that era because it still takes up space in my brain </3 rip elsewhere you were taken from us too soon but you will always live on in our hearts and the website that hasn't updated in 2 years <3
hi hi hello hi I think you're my only sio mutual that's active anymore (': I looked up the welcome 2 elsewhere site because I just randomly remembered it earlier and honestly am I the only one who misses that era? like the bright and colorful aesthetic with the super trippy and horror visuals? the arg they put together? the dyed hair? like maaaan don't get me wrong I'm happy about the new era but elsewhere was taken from us too soon </3 maybe I need to make more art of it lol
Hi!! I'm so glad you sent this ask because I love the elsewhere era so much, I could genuinely talk about it for hours. So here, have this extremely long essay about my experience.
I discovered set it off in early 2021, so the elsewhere era was the first full album cycle I experienced. And my god it was perfect! I was on holiday when the website went up along with the teaser for skeleton, and I remember so clearly trying to figure out all the puzzles before retreating alone back to our hotel room to figure out minesweeper. The feeling of excitement as the discord was going crazy trying to figure everything out was unmatched!
And then skeleton came out, and I was genuinely obsessed. I had just moved into an awful shared house for my second year at uni, so I drowned all my sorrows by putting the song on repeat, drawing the band almost constantly and of course, making the lyric video that would start my channel! The hype was so massive, the dyed hair was iconic, I genuinely lived and breathed the multicoloured aesthetic. I bought every single merch thing I could (my room decor and t shirts still reflect this.) I got a switch that year, and immediately named my island elsewhere.
Every time the website changed, the excitement was so palpable that I dropped everything I was doing when it happened. Of course I had projector and who's in control on loop when they came out, and while I didn't like them as much as skeleton, they built so much hype for the album it was unreal. I even attended an online concert a couple months before the album came out, and it took place so late at night that I went to sleep at 5am while having to get up at 8. I was that committed.
And remember the teasers they posted to instagram and twitter? The ones they posted at 5pm every wednesday and sunday, where unscrambling the code revealed the next song title, the ones I based my elsewhere lyric videos off? I actually set an alarm on my phone so I could catch these as soon as they appeared, I was that desperate to know the next title! And of course the discord went crazy each time, the energy was unmatched. And when the album actually came out, oh my god. It was on loop for over 6 months. I thought taste of the good life was a gift from god, the amount of times I listened to it.
The hype continued throughout 2022, as demos kept coming out through the fanclub (which I paid full money for, getting one of my favourite ever hoodies in the process) and each demo seemed to be better than the next. I still have no idea how the truth about lying was cut from elsewhere and playing with bad luck stayed.
Also, I was so excited for my first ever sio concert that november. And the day 100% lived up to the expectations! I gave the boys some stickers in vip which they loved, and even got a hug from zach after explaining an obscure talk it off reference on one of his stickers. I made some great friends in line, even though I got seated tickets so I had to be separated from them, but I did still get great seats. And the concert itself!! I'm so glad I can say I've seen third wheel live, even if it was in the medley. And I still remember the pure joy I felt when I waved at cody and he waved back at me during uncontainable.
By the start of 2023 and all the "scandals" and stuff started happening, along with their slow retreat off of all social media, I could tell the era was gradually ending and I was really sad. It fully sunk in when they stopped dying their hair, and I was devastated, I almost forgot what they looked like with natural hair. Although I will say I probably got more closure on the era than you guys in america, because I actually made it to one of the end of elsewhere shows here in the uk.
I have to say, that was probably the best night of my life. I paid full price for the vip this time, so I got to actually hang around and talk to them before the show. I also got standing tickets, and managed to get barrier, which was so close to the stage I could've reached out and touched cody countless times. It was wild, and I enjoyed every second. Of course, 4 days later punching bag released, marking the proper end of elsewhere. (And they haven't toured the uk since.)
I miss this era so goddamn much. I have so much nostalgia for it, even though its barely been a year since it ended, and I really wish the current era's branding was as strong. I always felt so close to the band during elsewhere, with all the talk it off episodes and them noticing me on social media. The sense of community was strong, and I miss it a lot now they've stopped posting anything. Idk, I might be biased because it was my first time experiencing a full era.
Anyway, if you actually read all that, thanks! I really needed a good reminisce. And yes, you should make more art of elsewhere! The visuals were unmatched, especially in the music videos 💜💜

Could you make me a jock?
I'm lost in life , and IV never been able to fulfill my dreams
Iv always wanted to play football, but it never happened
Those jocks are hot, cocky, built and horny with leaking dicks
If I could just wear the kit , I'd be happy, but to play , I'd do anything, i would obey anyone for it to come reality
Bruh, you're 22 years old now… A bit young to be having a midlife crisis already, isn't it? It's not too late to turn things around. Your job at the supermarket checkout doesn't have to be the end of your life.
Friday morning. Almost the weekend. At last. Your transformation process starts with the alarm clock ringing at 06:00. Yes, you don't actually have to get up until 07:30, but this way you can go to the gym before work in the morning. For the first few minutes, you still think it's a terrible idea. After your protein shake, you don't think it's so bad anymore. Once you're lying on the weight bench, you can't wait for your muscles to start burning.
When you open the store at 08:00, nobody is there yet. Sure, you don't open for another hour. But you're proud to be a store manager at just 24 years old. And you take your job seriously. When the first customer comes through the door, everything has to be perfect. Shortly before 09:00, everyone is in position. You check your reflection in the mirror again. Hell yes! You look hot. You've been torturing your body every day for six years. You're still mourning the missed opportunity to start exercising in high school. Maybe then you would have become a competitive athlete, maybe even a professional. As it is, you're just a damn broad man in your mid-20s.
The place is packed. Many customers come in just because of you. You're a bit of a celebrity around here. Quarterback of the local team. Some even want selfies with you or an autograph. You go back to the gym for your lunch break. You're 29 years old. You have to make the most of every opportunity if you want to stay fit. And tonight you have to get back on the field. Your team is relying on you. Your memories fade as you pump… Supermarket? Damn it, you're not a loser! You played football as a freshman in high school. Okay, you never became one of the greats… But you have over ten years as a pro behind you. Maybe you're not the fastest on the field anymore. But you can take a hell of a lot more than all the young wimps.
Tumblr media
The photos for the new calendar are taken before the game. Like every year, you're Mr. February. The Superbowl month. The Superbowl will remain a dream. Let's see how long you'll still be active as a professional. But you don't care either. You're having a lot of fun. And when the damn photographer is finally finished, you wank into your helmet. That's good luck!
Calendar page of February has been published @maxx-magnum

hello maxx! im so happy to hear that you’re close to wrapping up a big project (i was low key worried, but didn’t want to ask in case it was too personal 💦) if you’re in the mood for it, do you think you could do the letters x, t, i, and s for rengoku? thank you so much for considering! 💕
a/n: hello anon!! don't worry about asking sweetheart, I finished an event on another blog alongside wrapping up a few trades and a valentine thing for friends. a lot of work that I'm almost done with!! but once it's out of the way I'd like to open normal requests for valentines <3
Tumblr media
X - Xtra (A random headcanon for them)
I have a major headcanon that he loves having his s/o play with or help him with his hair, his hair is incredibly thick and takes some time to comb out and style properly. Having his s/o help him out is always a joy, it becomes part of the morning routine for you to help brush out his hair
He’ll gladly do the same for you, just as gentle as you as he combs out any knots. And if you have shorter hair and he’ll help style it especially if it’s sticking out weird from from sleeping
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Oh he’s a classic romantic, bringing you flowers for every date and always helping you pick out the best outfits for your anniversary dinner. He’s loves you so much and has full intention on showing you that through his amount of effort he’ll put in just about anything
Even simple mundane tasks are something he takes advantage of. Breakfast? How about breakfast in bed for his beloved and both your and his favorite food. Just as long as you put in equal amounts of effort he’ll return it, although he’s inclined to put in effort regardless
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
To Rengoku, perfect timing can make or break a relationship. His confession certainly won’t come fast but it won't be a surprise the minute he says it. He shows his love through actions as he builds up towards his confession, slowly hinting t it more and more till he does
He’s not scared to say it but would like to test the water before fully jumping in, making sure you feel the same way and it won’t scare or shock you. Sometimes a bit of hesitation pops up but he can manage to suppress it
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
A very very protective man, he’s seen good but he’s also seen bad so he can’t help but want to shield you from it. It can be a bit unbearable at times but he’ll let you show your strength once he knows it won’t end up with you getting hurt. Especially in canon verse he lives with the fear of not being able to protect you so likes to keep you out of potentially dangerous situations
He will let you protect him but it’s more likely he’ll push you aside the minute he thinks you’re in more danger than him. He appreciates that you want to but is very selfless and doesn’t want your protective nature being used on him

Maxx! Can I please request Law with an s/o who is having some family issues similar to mine right now? I just need some Law comfort and my head isn't thinking straight enough to write. Thank you!❤️
Tumblr media
➪ a/n: purple my dear I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve been going through, thank you for trusting me to write you something comforting to try and help. I’m here for you no matter what and I’m always happy to lend my love and support. I kept this somewhat vague because I’m not sure what you’re comfortable with being talked about but I hope it still helps. love you so so much <33
➪ includes: Law (w/ a gn!reader)
➪ warnings: semi vague mentions of losing someone
Tumblr media
Law knew that pain, he wasn’t unfamiliar to loss or just bad experiences in general. He wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone. Well, maybe there were a few people in the world he wouldn’t mind but you were absolutely not one of them. You weren’t even close and never would be.
You filled him with too many sweet feelings to ever look at you badly, fluttering butterflies and pretty pink flowers that he wouldn’t think twice about before he met you. It was a shock how fast those feelings seemed to disappear the minute he saw you crying, replaced by a twisting and gross feeling he disliked. He wanted to make those tears go away with a snap of his fingers and turn everything good but he just couldn’t. At least he could try to give some comfort, something that wasn’t his greatest skill but at least it’d make those tears stop running when he’d hold you tight in his arms.
You went to visit your mom once again, feeling tears already forming. But Law was a silent support behind you, his hand pressed against the small of your back and urging you forward. To keep moving forward and keep trying, something you needed when all you wanted was to dig your heels in and never approach what the possible future could be. It felt less worse having someone around.
There was the sharp jingle of keys being placed on the counter and Law cast a glance towards the hall. His work called his name but there was something he cared more about, it all could wait but this couldn’t. He stood and quietly made his way to go see if it was you. You stood in the doorway, unwavering but with a sorrowful look on your face. No words need to be exchanged as he’s already letting you fall into his embrace.
“It’ll be okay, you’ve done all that you could. Everyone’s doing all that they can, just be patient and see.” He knew you’d already said your goodbyes, something o one would have to say. Law certainly wasn’t a religious man but he was willing to give anything a bit of belief in hopes this could end happily. His fingers gently comb through your hair, paying no mind to the wet stains on his shirt from your crying.
He cups your face in his hands and holds your face so that he can look at you. You know you look like a mess, crying so hard that your eyes are puffy and tired from stress. Law makes no comment, just brushing away the tears and letting you cry. You wanted to scream, cry or both. Life was cruelly unfair and the both of you had come to experience that.
Law leans in, pressing his forehead against yours and just gently holds you, not wanting to smother you. His hands still cup your face and brushing away every tear that falls from your pretty eyes. “I bet you made her day just by seeing you at lunch. She’ll always love you no matter what.”

Taking NRC boys to 6 flags: great America and making them ride roller coasters
Each boy gets a Rollercoaster or ride randomized with the tried and true method of a name wheel everyone at once. Let's gooOOOO
Riddle - Battle for metropolis
Takes saving Metropolis very seriously
Knows what happens if he fails
^This is a reference to making him play injustice
I couldn't have planned this better
Doesn't get the best score, but has fun
Probably wants to go again
Trey - Raging bull
Underestimated the ride
He was like "this isn't terrible"
And then the coaster did the coaster thing of getting really fast after the first dramatic rise
And he just kept yelling fuck
Not a fan
Cater - x flight
He totally loses his phone on the ride
It fell out of his hands while he was recording a video of the ride
But other than that? He loved it
Wants to check out all the coasters now
Ace - Mardi gras hangover
It's just a circle
How bad can it be?
Screams like a baby the first time it goes upside down
Totally didn't cry
Except he did, because his ass lifted off of the seat while you were upside down and he thought he was gonna die
Deuce - Whiligig
This is nice
Just two bros chilling on high speed swings flying through the air
Has fun
Kinda wants to try the more intense rides too
Leona - Chubasco
This is a teacup ride
An indoor teacup ride
But a teacup ride nonetheless
Absolutely just chilling
You're doing all the work spinning this cup
He's a bum 😍
Ruggie - Little Dipper
I haven't been on the little dipper in years
But I remember it was pretty chill
Y'all simply raise your arms and do over dramatic screams
For funsies
Everyone thinks you two are ridiculous
But you're having fun
So they can suck it
Jack - Sprocket Rockets
Not loving some of these turns
Like yeah, he's buckled in
But why are you doing this to him
Probably not a huge Rollercoaster guy
He just doesn't seem like it
But this man?
This man fucking loves the teacup ride
Azul - American Eagle
Did somebody say motion sickness?
Why would you do this to him
If you sit in the back car it kinda leaves the track a little bit during a few parts
Call that fishtailing
He'll start crying when your car does that
But it's revenge
Jade - Aquaman splashdown
Oh this is nice
Grins like a maniac when the drop happens
Not totally happy about being soaked
But you can make it up to him one of these days :)
Floyd - Loggers run
Only got on because of the drop
And the water
Is sopping wet and loves it
Gonna drag you on for a second ride
Kalim - Dare Devil dive
My personal favorite
Excited to go on with you
And you two are stapped to eachother
It's like a big hug
Absolutely delighted the entire time
He's putting one of these in scarabia
Jamil - Maxx force
How did you get him on this thing?
Did you trick him?
He looks like he calls Rollercoasters death traps
Almost breaks your hand while riding the ride
That's it
He's done
No more Rollercoasters for Jamil Viper
Vil - Whizzer
Pretty chill
Until he finds out you have to sit in his lap for the ride
And that this thing is going to be whipping him around at high speeds
What do you mean there's one seatbelt
But he does end up loving it
Probably wants to go on more
Rook - Batman the ride
Loves the view
Also found the line charming
For some reason???
He's not well
Neither here nor there on Rollercoasters
Epel - Revolution
A Rollercoaster fiend once he gets on one for the first time
He saw it and went "woOoOoOw"
And this was the first one
It isn't really a rollercoaster,, but it's a start
Saw the 7 when the giant swing hit the peaks while spinning at high speeds
Idia - Triple Play
Triple Play flings you into the other passenger and keeps you there
He was not expecting this and let out a shriek when you were suddenly pressed into his side
He wasn't ready and y'all are just stuck there now
Having a minor heart attack
Ortho - Sky Trek
This is nice
Gets excited when he sees the Chicago skyline at the top
He asks to go a second time
It's a nice view
Malleus - V²
Wow, what a fun human contraption
Obligatory Sebek is sitting behind you two
Likes the coaster overall
His hair manages to stay in place the whole time???
Like????
Drop the hairspray sir
He does that pretty Malleus laugh
You know the one from all the fanart
And now he wants to go on all of them
Lilia - Carousel
A classic ride for an old man
Thinks it's fun
Makes the Diasomnia boys get on too, has pictures of all of them on it
But now it's time for the real rides
Silver - Giant Drop
You literally carried him through the line
And you woke him up when you guys got to the front
You guys got situated and now he's desperately trying to stay awake
The ride does wake him up
But in the fight or flight way
Not the participating in society way
No more Rollercoasters for him please
Sebek - Viper
Another one who underestimated the ride
Holds your hand for comfort
Will never admit it
That he held your hand
OR that he needed comfort
Just... don't mention it
Crowley - Dark knight
Screamed a lot
The dark knight ride has a lot of flashing lights and loud noises
It also whips you around
Bought the Keychain of a photo of you and him on the ride
Crewel - Buccaneer Battle
All of the students are shooting him with water
He's shooting back
You're soaked
He's soaked
And everyone who shot you two with water has detention
Pays for you two to use the giant dryers
Vargas - Superman
Was cool with the coaster
And then it lifted into position and whe was like
wHat?
Wasn't in love with that
Or the collection of gum on the supports of the ride
But still had fun on the ride
Trein - Goliath
Why would you do this to him?
Are you trying to kill him?
Doesn't get on the ride
You're going alone
Sam - Go carts
You two were merciless
You guys got banned because you were a danger to others on the track
Tbh it was kinda therapeutic
Chenya - Joker
He loved it
And now you guys are getting back on
He's dragging you to every colorful ride he can find now
You've created a monster
Neige - Roaring Rapids
Loves it
Even the parts where he got sprayed with water
Has loads of fun
Probably wants to go on other rides too
Just no coasters for him
He might cry

I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said, "It's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"
~ The Smiths - This Charming Man ~
The sleeping quarters for the crew were, predictably, much less luxurious than those of the band. Artemis didn’t mind one bit. The last time she’d been to Glastonbury she had shared a three-man tent with four of her friends from sixth form college - one of whom came back drunk and high on their second night at the festival with a live frog. Not much wouldn’t be an improvement on that.
Being the only woman in the crew other than KC, who was sharing her tent with Murphy, Artemis had a tent all to herself. She quickly put her stuff down, pulled out the sparkly wellies she had bought in the TK Maxx sale especially for the festival, and made her way over the grassy field to Andre and Charlie’s tent. There was no time to waste: there was a lot to see, and she wanted to see all of it.
“Your tent’s a lot bigger than mine,” she said, walking into it to find them both inside, surrounded by open suitcases and drinking gin and tonic out of cans. “It’s basically a marquee.”
“Actually, darling, it’s a yurt,” Andre told her, not looking away from the mirror he was sitting at, liberally applying gold glitter to his eyelids.
“Fine. Your yurt is a lot bigger than mine.”
“I didn’t realise that you were such a firm believer in size mattering,” Charlie said, his face deadpan. Artemis raised her eyebrows at him, and he smirked. “Besides, there’s only one of you, and there will be three of us.”
“Three?”
“Ava’s arriving on Saturday.”
“That’s nice,” Artemis wasn’t sure why she had chosen ‘nice’ of all the words, but Charlie didn’t seem to care. He looked genuinely pleased and excited. Artemis frowned. “Charlie, do you two want to sleep in my yurt?”
“Not really our thing, but thanks for the offer.”
“Very funny. Do you want to swap yurts or not?”
“Well, are you sure you don’t mind?” Charlie asked. Artemis shook her head, and he shrugged. “I mean, yeah. Thanks.”
“It’s fine. Just thought you two might want some privacy, that’s all.”
“You make it sound like I’m some kind of deviant,” Andre said. He turned around and winked at Artemis. “Only on Tuesdays.”
“Are you sure you’re alright sharing with Andre?” Charlie repeated his question as he helped Artemis carry the two hold-alls and a rucksack full of all her belongings to her new yurt.
“Why wouldn’t I be?”
“Well, you know. He’s a bloke, and-”
“Charlie,” Artemis interrupted him, “you have met Andre, right? I think I’ll be okay.”
“Yeah, fair point. Just make sure you two don’t stay up too late talking about boys.”
Artemis would have been happy to just dump her bags on the bed and venture out, but Andre was having none of it. He pulled two cans of pre-mixed gin and tonic from one of his many suitcases, and offered one to her, before sitting on the end of her bed and rifling through her clothes.
“Is this everything you’ve brought with you?” he asked, eyebrows raised in judgement. Artemis shrugged.
“It’s everything I have,” she told him.
“What? As in all you have, full stop?”
“I’ve always moved around a lot,” replied Artemis. “Never been able to have a lot of clothes or anything, so I just have my work clothes, running stuff, and a few outfits for the rest of the time.”
Andre pursed his lips, frowning. There was a look of deep pity in his brown eyes, which Artemis hated.
“Well, what are you planning on wearing today?” he asked her.
Artemis gestured to the t-shirt and shorts she had been wearing on the bus and hadn’t bothered to change out of. Andre nearly choked on his gin.
“What?” asked Artemis. “We are just going to be walking around in the mud.”
“Artemis, darling, this is Glastonbury. The whole world is watching.”
“They’re not watching me.”
“They could be,” Andre said, laying out several items of clothing on Artemis’ bed and pursing his lips as he looked at them. “You just have to give them something that’s worth watching, that’s all. Did you really not bring anything to wear for the festival?”
“Yeah, I bought new wellies.”
“I did notice those, they’re fabulous. But you can’t just rely on your wellies. I mean, you have such a pretty face, it would be a shame to have everyone looking at your feet.”
Andre looked Artemis up and down swiftly, before leaping off the bed and pulling yet another suitcase from under his bed.
“I don’t think anything of yours will look that good on me,” Artemis laughed. “Your legs come up to my belly button. I’ll look like Simon Cowell.”
“Do not mention that name in this yurt,” Andre muttered, before pulling some folded dusky pink fabric out and handing it to her. “Here. Try this on.”
Frowning, Artemis unfolded a small playsuit, with dainty buttons at the bust, lace panels down the seams, floaty material with tassels around the chest and a nipped-in waist. The back was low cut, with thin crisscrossing straps holding it up.
“Why do you have this in your suitcase?”
“I bought it as a present for my niece.”
That explained why the label inside read ‘12-13 years’. Artemis shook her head, and pushed the playsuit back to Andre.
“I can’t take this,” she told him. “I can’t wear your niece’s present.”
“Nonsense,” Andre waved her away. “I’ll buy her something else. This is Auntie Andre’s present to you now.”
“That’s really kind but I can’t imagine that it’ll suit me.”
“Darling. Darling. Knowing what will and won’t suit people is my job. I don’t go messing with your fireworks, you don’t tell me how to dress you. Put it on, and then tell me you don’t think you look hot.”
Artemis rolled her eyes, but did as Andre told her. Once she had changed into the playsuit, he wolfwhistled at her, and dragged her over to the mirror to look at her own reflection. Annoyingly, he had a point. She’d never have picked anything so delicate looking - let alone anything pink - to wear herself, but it did suit her.
“See, princess?” Andre said, forcing her to sit down and untying her hair. “It looks gorgeous. Maybe a bit too little-girly, but if we sort out your hair, the right jewellery, a good cat-eye… Oh, your jacket!”
Andre started to fuss over her; brushing and pinning up her hair, putting make-up on her, holding necklaces against her in different combinations until he was happy with the finished effect. When Artemis looked in the mirror, she found that she was, too.
“Are you two decent?” Charlie’s voice called out from outside the yurt.
“Never, Charlie. I’m always utterly indecent,” Andre called back, applying dark red lipstick to Artemis.
“Yeah, but are you dressed?”
“Who do you think you’re talking to? Here, Artemis. Blot.”
Charlie entered the yurt, just as Andre was admiring his finished masterpiece. Charlie looked from him to Artemis, back to Andre, and then quickly back to Artemis again.
“Huh,” he said, tilting his head to one side. “What happened to you?”
“Andre happened to me,” Artemis replied. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she glanced back at her reflection. “Does it look that bad?”
“No, darling, he’s just a philistine. She doesn’t look bad, does she, Charlie?”
“Oh, no. Not bad, just… different.”
“Right. That’s it. I’m changing back into what I had on before.”
“Don’t you dare,” Andre held his hand out to stop Artemis. He gave Charlie a pointed look, and Charlie nodded his head.
“Yeah, sorry. You look really… nice,” he said, and Andre sighed. “What? She does, it’s just not how she normally looks, that’s all.”
Andre put his head in his hands.
“Straight men,” he whispered despairingly, and Artemis sniggered.
“I mean, you can change if you want to,” Charlie told her, still looking at her like she might be dangerous, “but the others want to go out for drinks later, and if you want to go for a recce of the stuff near here, we’re going to have to be quick, because the Wurzels are on the Avalon stage at five and I definitely want to see them.”
“When in Somerset.”
“Exactly.”
“Fine,” Artemis shrugged. “I guess I don’t have to look good for the Wurzels.”
“I didn’t say you don’t look good, I said you look different.”
“Great.”
“Well, you do look different. And - and - you look good.”
“So good is different?”
“No, I…” Charlie’s voice tailed off. “I’m just digging myself into a hole, aren’t I?”
“Yeah, pretty much,” Artemis replied, as Andre tutted and nodded. Artemis grabbed her shoulder bag, jacket and two of Andre’s gin and tonic cans. “Come on, let’s go.”
“Hold on, darling,” Andre pressed the lipstick into her palm. “Don’t forget this. Make sure you put it on before we meet at the bar, and don’t drink too much. You don’t want this to go to waste.”
He air-kissed both of Artemis’ cheeks before she put on her wellies, which Charlie looked at sceptically, as if he wanted to comment on them, but didn’t dare do it.
“Um, I’m sorry if I made you feel self conscious,” he said, as they walked out into the patchy sunlight. “I didn’t mean to. I just wasn’t expecting Andre to go full on Princess Diaries with you, that’s all.”
“Princess Diaries?”
“Yeah, the whole makeover thing.”
“Oh,” Artemis frowned. “I was thinking more along the lines of Breakfast Club, actually. I’ve never seen The Princess Diaries.”
“Haven’t you?”
“Is that the one where Julie Andrews is the queen of Zurich or Geneva or-”
“Genovia, yeah,” Charlie corrected her, before clearing his throat loudly. “Anyway, I’m sorry. I just never thought I’d see you wear anything pink.”
“Neither did I, to be fair.”
“Yeah, well. You do actually look really pretty.”
Artemis smiled.
“Thank you,” she said, not knowing what else to say.
Charlie shrugged, and opened his can of gin and tonic. Artemis decided to leave hers for now. Her cheeks already felt a little warm.
“So where shall we go first?” Charlie asked her.
“Lizzie’s tent. Yurt,” Artemis said, quickly. She hadn’t planned on inviting Lizzie, but all of a sudden, it seemed like a very good idea to do so. “We should see if she wants to come with us. She might enjoy the Wurzels, too.”
“That’s a good idea.”
Lizzie - after complimenting Artemis’ outfit much more tactfully than Charlie had - put on her own wellies and set off with them for the day. She seemed relieved to be out of the way of the band and Ethan, and somehow, Artemis felt more relaxed for her being there. It was strange. She hadn’t even noticed that she wasn’t relaxed until she felt the tension leave her.
On their way to the Avalon stage, they meandered through some of the stalls near their campsite, where vegan food and alcoholic drinks were being sold, and bohemian looking men and women were selling everything from Himalayan salt lamps to flower crowns. There was mud and colour everywhere, and noise and music and the slightest whiff of weed in the air. It was Glastonbury.
Artemis was glad for Andre’s makeover. Most of the people they saw were wearing flamboyant outfits, headdresses or glitter. Even Lizzie had dyed the ends of her hair pink to mark the occasion.
“Do you think we should get some of those flower crowns?” Artemis asked her.
Lizzie stopped sipping on the can of gin and tonic Artemis had given her, and smiled.
“This is Glastonbury, not Coachella,” she laughed, not unkindly.
“I just think we should make ourselves look more festival-like.”
“Honestly,” Charlie shook his head. “I leave you alone with Andre for less than an hour…”
Artemis ignored him, and scanned the stalls.
“Those ones are nice, we could get some of those, or-”
“Or glitter!” Lizzie nodded her head at a pretty blonde girl in a yellow dress walking past, chatting excitedly with her friends, her face adorned with sparkly face paint. Lizzie quickly approached her. “Really sorry, did you do that glitter yourself, or did you go to one of the stalls? It looks really lovely.”
The girl’s cheeks turned a little pink, and she beamed at Lizzie, revealing a set of perfectly straight white teeth.
“Oh, no,” she said, shaking her head, her long blonde hair tumbling about her shoulders as she did so. “Thank you ever so much, but I could never do anything this good myself. I went over to that stall over there, there’s a very nice man doing it, and he really is very talented. Third stall on the left.”
“Thanks.”
“Um, I’m really sorry,” the girl’s smile turned sheepish. “But, you are Lizzie Jameson, aren’t you? Lizzie Jameson from Equinox?”
Lizzie nodded, and the girl flushed pink.
“Would it be okay if we had a photo together? Don’t worry if not, I don’t want to bother you, or anything like that. I’m just a big fan of you all, and-”
“You helped us find the glitter, you can have as many photos as you like,” Lizzie said, leaving the blonde girl looking positively ecstatic.
The girl handed her phone to Charlie, who took several group shots of Lizzie with her fans, before thanking Lizzie and Charlie profusely, telling Artemis that she loved her outfit, and practically skipping away through the mud.
They followed the girl’s instructions to find the face paint tent, where they were surprised to see that Merula had beaten them to it. Her unusual coloured eyes were already framed with silver glitter, and she was leaning on a table whilst waiting for the face paint man to finish applying glitter to David Willows’ face.
“What the fuck happened to your normal clothes, Hexley?” she asked, without so much as a hello first.
“What the fuck happened to your face?” Artemis retorted, and Merula rolled her eyes.
Once the face paint man had finished with David, he offered his vacant seat to Artemis, and he and Merula chatted with Lizzie and Charlie whilst the glitter man adorned Artemis’ cheekbones with flecks of silver and gold. Even in her peripheral vision, she could see that Merula’s entire demeanour was softer, and that when she laughed, it was genuine. She smirked to herself. Well. Fancy that.
Soon, the glitter man finished with Artemis and she swapped places with Lizzie.
“Are you going to have a turn after, Charlie?” she grinned at him.
“Absolutely not.”
“It’s just a bit of glitter, mate. It won’t hurt you,” David winked, getting a chuckle out of both Merula and Artemis.
“No, but I can cope without it,” said Charlie, with a good-natured smile. He looked at Artemis.  “Suits you, though. Let’s just hope it comes off before your meeting tomorrow.”
Artemis had almost forgotten about her meeting with the festival organisers. They had been emailing about her big finale display ever since Charlie had suggested that she be in charge of it, but they had asked to meet her in person to finalise the plans before the day.
“It’ll be fine, the meeting is Saturday, not tomorrow,” she replied, rolling her eyes. “Besides, it’s hardly like the organisers of Glastonbury fucking festival will be bothered by a little bit of glitter.”
Charlie shrugged his shoulders in response, and David addressed both of them.
“Are you goin’ to this party later?” he asked. “Sounds like it’ll be a good night, like.”
“Yeah, I don’t trust these two to go out by themselves after last time,” Charlie raised his eyebrows at Artemis, who stuck her tongue out at him. “I don’t know if Glasto is ready for that. We’re going to the Avalon stage first, if you two wanted to tag along?”
Merula’s eyes narrowed a fraction, and she glanced at David. Clearly, she was enjoying it just being the two of them.
“Nah, sorry, mate. I can’t, like,” said David, and Merula’s shoulders relaxed, just a little. “My sister is here, and I said I’d get her into the party. I’m goin’ to have to meet her with some kind of pass to get her in. I’ll never hear the end of it if I don’t.”
“Your sister is here?” Merula asked. Her voice was a little sharp.
“Yeah, did I not mention that?”
“No.”
There was a moment where no one spoke. The tension that had left Merula just seconds before seemed to have doubled, if not tripled. Artemis couldn’t tell if David had noticed the shift or not, because he smiled as if nothing was wrong.
“Yeah. You can come with me to meet her, if you like. She’ll love that.”
It was the wrong thing for him to say. Artemis and Charlie both took an instinctive step backwards, as Merula’s whole body stiffened.
“I think I’d like to check out the Avalon stage, actually,” said Merula. There was a very slight strain in her voice, though she sounded like her usual flippant self. David nodded.
“That’s cool. You can go and do that, and I’ll go and find Amy,” he said. His face was lined with poorly masked disappointment. Merula looked away, her face sulky. “Right. Well, then. I’d best be off. I’ll see you all later.”
David headed through the crowd. Lizzie, done with her glitter, exchanged awkward looks with Charlie. Artemis tilted her head, eyes still on Merula, who turned back to her, glowering.
“No, Hexley.”
“I didn’t ask you anything.”
“I don’t care. The answer is still no,” Merula looked away again. “Right, are we going to this fucking Avalon stage or not?”
“Yeah, I just want to get a cider on the way,” Charlie said, ignoring Merula’s change in attitude. “Can’t watch the Wurzels without cider.”
At the mention of the Wurzels, Merula let out a deep, scathing sigh.
“It just gets better and fucking better, doesn’t it?” she muttered, before stomping her way to the Avalon stage in surly silence.

Beck I just want you to know I can’t listen to Orville Peck, one of my favorite music artists, without remembering that one post where you said it was dad music and my brain is suddenly a Skyrim loading screen where I systematically rotate and evaluate my clothing collection including my wire rimmed glasses (wire rimmed in an old man kind of way not a gay way) and various button up mens shirts I got from TJ Maxx as well as my collection of sudoku books. Kills you with my mind ❤️🧠
my dad (godspeed to the man) literally listens to him I'm not even lyingggggggg. I get in the car with him at any hour any time and no doubt that dial is firmly fixed on triple m country radio, brooding homosexual twanging courtesy of sir orville as the neverending soundtrack of my father's life. and I suppose yours too. wow orville's cross community reach.. we all got crowns or whatever taylor swift said. love a sudoku book as an accessory though, might start carrying one around and look thoughtful on public transport. anyway, happy listening!

nah my friend is ridiculous 😭
so he just got his jonghyun she is album and he has been looking through the picture book when he got excited over one page in which he took a picture of it and written something like “free foot pic! thanks jonghyun!”
what is his obsession with his feet he wouldn’t even stop talking about the picture of him wearing socks and kicking the air- 😭😭😭😭
jeez and he be talking about how it made him nut and shit like omg i don’t care about his feet what’s so sexy about something you walk on the floor with? is that the sexy part? him stepping on your head with socks on? what’s so hot about that?
but yeah- i don’t have a feet fetish but i do like his hands 🥺
omg the fact that he could use them to- 🫳🏻🍑
*starts screaming* nahhhh all the things i would do to meet him i would kill or give a lap dance just to carry him like he’s princess peach
nvm i don’t think i could carry him, but he can jejeekwkwkwj
he could probably carry me like a baby since i’m not too heavy… but i’d want him to grind on me-
oops sorry pg-13- uh- rainbows and flowers 🌈🌸🌺💐🌷🌹🌼🌻☀️✨
anywho, supreme is too expensive lol and my tatas are big ;(
i’m like idk what size i am i haven’t worn a bra in 6 years- maybe like 28 c of d cup ig it looks big so maybe even dd? (i don’t know my size so-) also, they’re perky too like them pr0nstars which makes it even worse-
i hate my tatas i wish i could donate them to amber or anyone i hate them i would even give them to my little sister like a hand me down so she can have boobs and i can be flat or at least small enough that i don’t have to literally kill myself to make sure i look flat enough when i bind. puberty sucks i wish i never had to go through mean changes and i could look like jonghyun ;(
i’m scared that it may go to my hips and people will see me as a woman i hate it so much i don’t know if the best thing to do is to go to a gender clinic to prevent it from happening but i would try but the uk is shit and is transphobic 😭😭
i literally look like every female character a man written with big boobs tiny waist and big butt (but i barely have hips so… yay…?) istg if i look like miss bellum from the ppg when i turn 25 then imma ☠️
nah my sis doesn’t know what she’s gonna miss like yooo- she could technically go shirtless and get away with it like omg that must feel amazing to be that flat and NO HIPS OR ASS you can live your life not worrying about getting catcalled whilst i get catcalled sometimes or creppy guys touch me like omg i never knew this was a thing in the uk 😭
also thank youuuuuuu i’m gonna shut up now but i love speaking in case you didn’t know hahahahah
mwah byeeeeeeee 😭😭😭
No, no it's fine. I like to talk too. I swear I send my friends like 25 voice memos cause I go on tangents. Then like 5 paragraphs right after the voice messages. Talk as much as you want. Yeahhhh feet fetishes do not make any real sense to me either. Also the fact it's so so so common. Like is this a dormant Victorian era sensibility that gets triggered in some people who see feet and ankles as scandalous and arousing. Also maybe you can find a Calvin Klein sports bra, it's what the supreme one is copying anyway. I got a Calvin Klein sports bra from TJ Maxx\TK Maxx a while ago for like 12 dollars. But new it's like 29 dollars. Aww, I understand, puberty can really suck and being in a body you feel disconnected from while being harassed by creepy guys just makes it harder. I really hope that you'd be able to get where you want to be in your body and you feel like you're suppose to. I'm sure you're still really young and there's so many options. And ugh those creepy guys are literally the worst. Honestly should be locked away. They have no right to touch you. Even though I like my body having a hyper feminine body does make you want to just hideaway. Plus I dress hyper feminine cause it makes me happy, Also I only care about the random women who call me cute. But I once wore like this bodycon mini dress to Home Depot. I know I know but that's like my grocery store dress it's comfy even thought it's short and tight. And I was going to the grocery store after. And like there was an employee who was following me around. Kinda looked like the lead sing of A day to remember. He even followed me into the parking lot where he tried to ask me if I saw some lady in a hat or something like that. I said no and he stayed like right by me while I waited for my aunt to pick me up. Men are creeps. Like if you want to say something say it the first time you see me don't follow me around like weirdo.

thankful for my (found) family - demisquad + reader thanksgiving special
2.4k
platonic everyone + reader, implied future/potential leo x reader if you look real close, thalia has a girlfriend that I had to make up bc they never mention hunters of artemis but go off rick, calypso is not included bc she acts more like an antagonist imo, gif doesn’t have anything to do with it besides nostalgia lmao
happy thanksgiving <33
Tumblr media
You and Leo are cooking in the kitchen 
You have been all day
The doorbell rings, and Annabeth goes to answer, binder full of travel plans in hand
“That should be-”
Clarisse enters with a loud greeting and a hug to everyone in arms reach
Percy’s loud cheers echo from the living room as he calls out the new score of the football game he’s keeping everyone updated on
She drops her bag, hopping over the back of the couch to watch with Percy
“Woah woah, catch me up Jackson! What'd I miss?”
Hazel is helping Rachel make cute diy table settings and party favors 
Rachel, as with most art projects she takes on, is very focused on making it Martha Stewart levels of cute and amazing 
Frank and Piper are keeping everyone updated on the parade 
Frank pops down the stairs, calling out, “The last performance just ended, the dog show starts in 5!”
Hazel drops what she's doing and exclaims, “THERE’S A DOG SHOW?!” 
She runs upstairs to watch with Frank, her yellow dress swishing behind her
You chuckle, calling over to Annabeth as you mix batter in a bowl, " Hey Annabeth, how are the travel plans looking?"
She shuffles through some papers in her binder
"Magnus and Alex had another layover, but they should still be able to make it in time. Thalia and her hunter friend will be here in 10, and Travis's flight got delayed because of a sudden snow storm."
"Really?" You reply, "This time of year? That's pretty ironic for a son of Hermes..."
"I know, I'm looking at some shuttle services to see if that would be faster…" Annabeth replies
Nico enters, stealing a couple appetizers, "This is so stupid, I could just go get him."
Will, right behind him, eats the appetizer Nico hands him and replies, "No you can't. Doctors orders."
Nico starts to protest 
Will shoots him a look 
"Boyfriend's orders."
Nico tries in vain to stare him down,  "… Va’ a farti fottere." he says, cracking a smile
"Love you too," Will counters 
You and Leo shoo them out of the kitchen before they steal more of your recipes
Jason and Grover walk by with a bunch of pillows and blankets, setting up guest rooms. 
Grover calls through the pile of fluff he's carrying, "Hey, we're gonna need a few more pillows-"
Jason, over his pile of bedding, corrects, "A lot more!" And Annabeth runs over to help carry some of the blankets he's about to drop
"-A lot more pillows…"
You grab your keys
"okay uh… Grover, do you want to head to the store to get some more pillows-"
Leo, vigorously sautéing something adds over his shoulder, "And basil! And, uh… red wine vinegar, olive oil, and potatoes."
You rip a piece of paper off the notepad on the fridge and scribble a quick list 
You're probably going to need some more ice, too 
Tyson, very distressed, holds up an empty container of mellowcream pumpkins, declaring, "THERE'S NO MORE BABY PUMPKINS!" :(
you loudly add candy pumpkins to the list
Rachel approaches. 
"Are you going to the store?"
"Yeah," you reply, "how's crafting going? You need anything? "
"We're almost out of glitter and mod podge. It's not looking good. We could use some more fake leaves, warm toned glitter, and rhinestones - the nice ones."
Grover looks slightly lost 
You narrate as you add to the list, "Fancy rhinestones, mod podge, fake leaves, red, yellow, orange, and brown glitter…"
Tyson, still distressed, yells, "AND BABY PUMPKINS!"
:(
You hold up the paper, "Already on the list, bud, Grover's gonna get them!"
"What if he gets the wrong kind?" Tyson asks 
You, turn to Grover quietly, "Grover, can you take Tyson?"
Grover nods
"Hey Tyson, Grover has a lot of stuff to get, could you go be his shopping buddy? That way you can pick out the right baby pumpkins."
He doesn't look convinced
He wants to keep working on a secret project he’s been doing out by the garage
"And…" you add, sweetening the deal, "you can get two candies for the way home."
He agrees
You turn to Grover; "I'll call you guys an uber-"
"I'll drive."
You all turn around, shocked to see Reyna awake. 
You thought she was still passed out 
She showed up at 9am and immediately fell asleep from traveling all night 
"Reyna, hi! Are you sure-"
"We'll be fine, I need to stretch my legs a little." She proves by rolling her shoulders
"Okay, as long as you're sure," you hand her the paper, re-entering the kitchen
She takes the paper from your hand as you shut off the beeping timer and grab a pair of oven mitts from the drawer
Reyna examines the paper, "...This is a weird list. Where are we supposed to get all this?"
Leo moves to the side as you pull out the rolls from the oven, using tongs to set them on a wire cooling rack, "Maybe target?"
Leo, still very focused on cooking, announces, "If you get me generic brand spices I will burn this place to the ground."
"O-kay," you turn back to Reyna, laughing, "there's a Wegmans and a Joanne's right next to the TJ Maxx, you can probably find everything there."
"We'll be back within the hour." She states, taking your keys. 
Rachel meets her at the door. "Here, use my card. Also, make sure you get the flat backed swarovski crystals. And please pick some glitter with a nice color shift!"
You remind them to call or text with any questions and be safe
Heading back into the kitchen, you fill up a big bowl with carrots, celery, cucumbers, and mushrooms
You grab two cutting boards, knives, peelers, and a plastic bag for the peels, tips, and tails
You set it all down on the coffee table in front Percy and Clarisse
“Can you guys get the relish tray started?” 
They agree, and immediately return to yelling at the referee
You shake your head laughing, and head back to the kitchen
“How we looking, Sparky?”
“Stuffing cups just went up in the oven, pie crust dough is chilling, and the green beans are almost done sauteeing. Rolls are cooling - could you stir the cranberry sauce? - and… the turkey is going up as soon as the stuffing is out.”
You stir the sauce as you continue talking
“Great! We’re making good time so far. Oh, I found a recipe for brown sugar pie, which Frank requested - apparently it’s a Canadian Thanksgiving thing - so I figured if you’re doing turkey I can handle the pies.” 
He pours some cooking wine into the pan, and shakes it as the alcohol burns off
“Sounds like a plan, babycakes.” 
You laugh at the nickname, and grab butter, salt, some herbs, and a stick blender to finish the potatoes
A few minutes later, you hear the door open 
Reyna and the boys are back already? That was quick
You wonder if they need help bringing groceries in
“Eeeey get over here you knucklehead!” 
Bags drop, and you hear Jason laughing in protest
You poke your head out of the kitchen, and see Thalia with Jason in a headlock
In spite of the fact that he’s about half a foot taller than her, she’s still noogie-ing him, pretending she can’t hear him objecting through his laughs
She finally lets him go, greeting everyone as he adjusts his glasses
She bear hugs Annabeth, punches Percy in the arm, and high fives and hugs pretty much everyone else
You run up the stairs to the guest room Grover was setting up before he left
You finish making the bed head back down, meeting Frank and Hazel on the way 
"Oh, Hazel, what did you think of the dog show?"
"It blew my wig!" She says giddily 
A confused smile settles on your face
"It was awesome and she loved it," Frank translates smoothly
He and Will are understandably best at deciphering 40s slang
Thalia is introducing everyone to Amber, a girl she’d met on the hunt and become really close with
You greet her, and turn to Thalia
“Your room is all set up if you wanna get settled in,” you turn to Amber, “and yours will be ready soon,” 
They share a look
“Oh,” Thalia starts grabbing their bags, “that’s fine, we can share a room. We share a tent on the hunt all the time, right Ambie?”
"Oh,”
And then it clicks
“yeah, however you’re comfortable.”
You grab one of the bags, and help them upstairs
“Why don’t you guys take a while to settle in, I’ll tell the others you’re resting.”
They thank you, and you start to leave
“By the way,” you poke your head back in, “you two seem really cute together. Welcome to the family, Amber.” 
She blushes and Thalia gives you an appreciative look
You nod and head back down
You let the others know they’re going to nap for a little while, and not to wake them up
“Hey, any travel updates?” You ask Annabeth, on your way back into the kitchen
“Alex just texted, she and Magnus are finally on their way, should be here in the next few hours. As for Travis…” 
She holds out her phone, showing you Travis’s tiktok
He’s filming the mirror in the airport bathroom
“So uh, my flight’s delayed, I’m bored, I’m gonna fuck with some people,” he holds out a hand full of stickers that look like outlets
He records himself putting them around the airport, then gets people’s reactions when they try to use them
He ends the video asking for more prank ideas
You look back up at Annabeth, holding back a laugh, “Seems like he’s doing okay,” 
“Oh,” she replies, “that’s not all.”
She scrolls up, showing the next prank video where Travis goes around the airport having fake phone conversations to get people’s reactions
Conversation topics including ‘I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but slept with your grandma’, ‘hey bro I can’t come to the party, also turns out I’m going to be your stepdad’, ‘hey dude remember that old lady we used to cat sit for? Well, I found out I got chlamydia from her, so…’, and ‘yeah man, I’m so excited for the poetry slam. Also, it turns out my jazz fever is actually syphilis.’. 
Your hand flies over your mouth, trying not to laugh loudly enough to wake Thalia and Amber
“Yeah,” Annabeth says, fighting her own laughter, “he’s doing okay.”
You start putting together ingredients for pie filling
“That is the most in character thing I could have imagined,” you laugh, and Annabeth shows Leo the videos
“There’s a bunch more, too,” she adds, “Around making tiktoks, he found a bus heading this way. He’ll be here in a few hours.” 
“Cutting it close,” you muse, filling pies, “I’m glad he’s not stuck at the airport though. How about Connor?” 
“Haven’t heard much from him, but he said he'll be here in time for dinner."
A little while later, Thalia and Amber re enter, joining Percy and Clarisse in the living room 
The door opens shortly after, and Tyson enters, arms full of containers of candy pumpkins 
Reyna and Grover are right behind him
You take Grover's bags, announcing that Thalia got here a little while ago
He bleats excitedly and runs to hug her, Reyna right on his heels
Piper and Tyson bring in the rest of the groceries
Tyson sets down the last bags in the kitchen, looks out the window, yells, "IT'S ALMOST SUNSET!", and runs back out into the back yard, presumably to finish his mystery project 
Everyone eventually makes their way to the living room, nibbling on appetizers and watching classic Thanksgiving specials 
The food is almost done, all that's left is decorating the pies and a little tidying up 
You walk over to Leo, placing your hand on his shoulder 
He looks up at you
"Why don't you go take a quick shower and change before dinner," you muse, knowing the hoodie and jeans he's been cooking in all day isn't the outfit he'd picked out, "I'll wrap things up in here,"
He thanks you, dramatically presses a kiss to your forehead, and exits the kitchen 
You decorate the pies distractedly, catching the doorbell right before the second ring 
You smile at the people about to enter
"Annabeth," you call, "Magnus and Alex are here!" 
She drops what she's doing, and runs over to greet them 
Leo is back down stairs a short while later 
His brick red hoodie replaced with a burgundy one - his fancy hoodie as he calls it - a heavy flannel layered on top, and a beanie pulled over his almost dry hair
His pyrokinesis makes you forget how cold he gets sometimes 
You're about to go upstairs to change out of your cooking clothes when Tyson enters dramatically 
"The surprise is done!"
Everyone files outside to see what Tyson made as he leads you all out to the garage 
Perfectly attached to the side, is a very small horse stable 
"Wow!" Percy starts, "Great job, dude!"
Tyson is beaming as he's showered with confused praise 
"So uh," Percy ventures, "what did you build it for?"
"Maybe something like this?!" Descending voices declare in unicen 
Travis and Connor land in front of you on no other than Blackjack
Everyone erupts into cheers
“I thought you were stuck at the airport! What about those tiktoks?”
“Saved in my drafts, baby!” Travis laughs
Percy greets Blackjack and everyone else heads back inside with Travis and Connor 
You run upstairs to shower quickly and change, and are back downstairs just in time for appetizers and drinks 
You're about to take a sip of coffee when the door opens 
An irregular set of footsteps echoes into the room, along with a familiar voice 
"Ah, children, I hope there's room for one more," 
Everyone turns in surprise as Chiron enters the room 
After lots of warm excited greetings and making sure he has a warm cup of tea, he settles in to chat for a while
"I was on my way to meet with my more, ah, rambunctious cousins, but I couldn't let a day like today pass without stopping by."
After two cups of tea and lovely conversations, Chiron heads out to meet up with the other party ponies 
Thalia, Percy, and Will get all the food on the dining room table while Rachel makes the finishing touches to the centerpieces 
Everyone finds their seat, and you make the first toast
"I think I can speak for everyone when I say I'm thankful for you guys - my found family."
Every glass is raised
You can all drink to that.

Omg this is so long. If you're still here, here are some of the works that I'm proud of. 1)This itsay set. This was my first time doing big gifs and although this is loooong I like how this turned out, specially the colouring. 2) This cause do I do anything except 2g shitposting? No <3 I had this idea even before s2g aired but decided to wait so that I have more shots from s2g and I'm glad I did cause Earn basically got confirmed as a wlw so (Also special thanks to Terry cause the Man and Air hc were hers,her phd brain ikr) 3)This cause dcjsdjidi SARAWATINE SOULMATES. I love how the colouring turned out despite the fact that ps crashed halfway and I lost the gifs i spent 2 hours colouring. I tried to do this with scenes from the series only but couldn't cause wHen YoU aRe wItH yOuR cAmeRA SHOW US goddammit. If this was ao3 this would've been tagged as Tine teepakorn loves Sarawat guntithanon xD 4) Still2gether textposts obviously. I KNOW that 90% people follow me for my 2g shitposting and I got an ask once saying how were they so accurate and the reason for that is I spent HOURS on these. Atfirst it took a long time but after a while I got the hang of it. It was fun (though sometimes tiring) to make these after each ep aired. I'm proud of it and the fact that I managed to do 13 parts? gsjsdjsj 5) Still2gether subs that looks fake but aren't. shutup this was my first time giffing but it was funnnnn looking for the (canon) crack parts after every ep aired. 
Also,thank you to all the lovely people who likes and reblogs my posts, I do see you and I love you all <33
