#I think his name was Raddy?

[jeromefox]

Found family?.....

I- Well. The only family we have right now is me, Magnus, our two cats, Gravy and Biscuit, and possibly this girl we have been taking care of lately named Stella. No others.

[lethalbreadkills]

i think the sprinkle mod should be related to sprunki just a thought

i saw them and i went "what if they were younger siblings...." insane ramblings and relationships underneath the cut. oops

OKAY SO. they have names. we named them. by we i mean me and @afuntimepartyy (hi mangy) in order of how they show up in the mod . all colours are used for ease of reading oops Sporen (he ate mushrooms as a child), Radical (well. duh. raddy sprinkle), Clink (head go clink clank), Fun Bot V.2 (v2 for short), Rinkle (i dont have an explanation), Grinkle (gray crinkly kitten), Sprunk (funny), Garnickle (like barnacle), Dipsy (i think its cute), Skip (again, cute), Miss Sun (shes the older sibling for once), Purdle (durple but switched), Mrs Tree (theyre married), Laa-Laa (yellow and sings cute), Tupper (well. like tupperware), Fun Computer (hes not old enough to be a mr. yet), Spinda (hehe), Punkii (it just Felt Right), Biv (i think its cute!), and HACK :]

As for the relationship chart. Well. Smiles. here it is ^-^!!

heh. smirks. Most are self explanatory, these are their younger siblings and they love each other!!

Garnold, quite honestly, is just a good 20 years older than his sibling, and WOW an age gap like that can cause issues with understanding each other. Garnold just doesn't understand the kid, and he's busy with his own (his and Clukr's creations) OWAKCX and Dipsy are complicated because. uh. i'll be honest i didn't read until recently that OWAKCX is like that because Raddy hit him with a hammer and went "ah. that man is an addict isn't he." and went with it ^o^ and it causes an odd relationship with family. they're trying their best, though. they still love each other so much. Tunner and Tupper. Well. I don't have them fully fleshed out yet i'll be honest. Tunner is trying his hardest to bond with Tupper, and she would much rather be left alone and talk to her friends. at the point in life where she just hates everybody, and there's not a whole lot Tunner can do about it. Jevin and Biv. well. he never liked his family anyways, and his little sister following him when he ran away is no exception. she loves him. she wants to be just like him. he wants her to leave him alone and stop reminding him that they're "family", or whatever. Black... well. There's a reason HACK can't feel anything toward his older sibling. Black killed him before he had a chance to grow up too much.

As for Gray and Wenda... funnily enough, they're in very similar boats. They love their siblings, they really do!! It just.. would be so much easier if their "siblings" weren't their children, y'know? (just to specify, they are NOT both gray and wendas kids. they were had separately, we just happened to have the same idea for the two of them, lmao)

[sprunki-hcs]

I don't think that horror mode ACTUALLY actually happened. It was just a series of nightmares that everyone remembers as if it happened in the real world.

For context, the whole cast lives in a HUUUUUGE house owned by Wenda and Black caused the nightmares. Note that they are unable to die in the nightmares.

Wenda is from a SUPER wealthy family and inherited the mansion from a distant relative who included her in his/her will for whatever reason. So here she is with this HUGE house with like 15 vacant rooms. Of course, she's lonely (but that's because she is a serious jerk.) so she rents out the rooms for MUCH LOWER than how much rent usually is for a tiny apartment. Little does she know, there's an old basement dwelling spirit who does nothing but watch TV all day (Black) living in the mansion.

So for starters, Wenda is really snobby and just a passive aggressive jerk to everyone. Which is why she has no friends. She was basically like "hey I'm renting out these rooms in my mansion for like 300 bucks a month PLEASE I'M SO LONELY!" In horror mode (nightmare) she took her anger out on everyone cuz she knew she was dreaming and pretty much became mad with power.

Grey is just some dog who takes pictures at really awkward angles and posts them to Myspace. He's usually just quiet when he's home. But when he's at a show he's a different story. He "survived" the nightmares because he hid in the basement the entire time.

Garnold is a HUGE robotics geek and a big music producer as well. Like, making Fun Bot with Clukr was their Magnum Opus. They also programmed Fun 'Puter using an old monitor they found at a thrift store. They eventually built a suit for themself, making a sort of mechanism so they can lift heavy stuff without many issues. When they go to events with Simon, everyone is impressed by their suit. In the nightmare, said strength mechanism went haywire and crushed them in their suit.

Clukr is the "maid" of the house. He cleans up everything because nobody else does a good enough job according to him. He is OBSESSED with routine, so everyone thought it would be a good idea to let him do planning for the constant parties being held at the mansion. It was in fact, NOT a good idea. He's stressed all of the time but he's such a people pleaser, too. He has a slight (and by slight I mean HUGE) crush on Garnold. In the nightmares, he found Garnold frozen stiff on a hill, and when he went to check on them, a piece of their suit flung right into his head.

Raddy is SUPER, SUPER hateful. He hates Jevin and Tunner and misgenders Garnold and Sky constantly. If he's not playing video games in the basement, he's at the gym. In the nightmares, he was subject to a mob beating after he called Brud the r-bomb.

Oren is just... An alien dude I guess. He watches "indie" films, listens to "indie" music, and has anything with "indie" in the name. He goes to the skatepark with Grey and teaches him how to skate. He and Simon share a room, and of course, there is roommate drama. In the nightmares, he just got messed up by Wenda for some petty reason.

Simon is ALSO an alien guy. He goes to a TON of raves and has flyers strewn across his wall. Oren complains about him leaving dead glowsticks all over the floor but he's like, "whatever." He's super nice and gives out bracelets to everyone. In the nightmares, he got "corrupted." He can't see, but he can sense who is around him.

OWAKCX is some humanoid thing. His room resembles that of the inside of a rusty trailer. Sucks that Clukr's room is right next door to this guy. He is probably on everything you can think of on the top of your head. He actually got into rehab once, but they kicked him out because he was being super creepy to everyone around him. He also cheats on Vineria. A lot. In the nightmares he was partially skinned by Wenda (by Vineria's request.)

Speaking of Vineria, she's also humanoid-ish. She's super connected with nature, and has a full on greenhouse going on in her room. She has an elitist attitude when it comes to using all-organic stuff, and she even told of Pinki for wearing makeup once. Her nightmare version was caused by a corruption. She can't see, but unlike Simon, she can't sense people or objects around her.

Sky is a runaway who found the mansion after taking a bus to who knows where. Tunner opened the door to them and was like, "WENDY (sic), WE GOT ANOTHER CHILD!" They used to live with their SUPER unsupportive parents and decided to run away after they overheard them sending them to camp. After about two years of living at the mansion, Garnold and Clukr pretty much became their parental figures. In the nightmare, Sky was trying to defend themself against Wenda and a whole bunch of sharp pipes fell on them.

Jevin is a humanoid-type thing. He bottles up his emotions a lot and barely lets them show. He has industrial metal posters hung up in his room, but under his bed is a different story. He has a bunch of vintage Barbies and a pride flag under it. He keeps it secret because of Raddy's constant hostility towards him as well as the fact he wants to keep up his spooky/dark image. He "survived" the nightmares cuz instead of hurting him physically, Wenda decided to mess with him mentally. I'll explain this when I get to Tunner.

Durple is just your average fast-food drone who hates his life. He's also a water-dragon of some sort. He can breathe underwater so he has to clean up the pool despite him stating several times that he can't breathe in water that is full of chlorine. He also does dares and is MESSED UP after every party hosted at the mansion. He got corrupted in the nightmares. The following morning, he would slowly type, "Dream of.... Jaw... Being dislocated....... Meaning."

Pinki is a SUUUUUPER girly girl. She hosts tea parties all of the time and knows where to get the best party decorations! She's also a good baker and the designated cook of the house. She's also amazing at sewing (though Vineria is better than her), and made Kevin's cloak. In the nightmare, her face was ripped off by Wenda because she was jealous of her relationship status, as well as her beauty.

Tunner is a lizard-type guy who just keeps everyone from danger. He bottles up like Jevin, but he isn't afraid to show his anger, especially against Raddy. He also complains about people having too much screen time despite him being on level 9264 of Candy Crush LOL. He also gets everyone's names wrong (he called Jevin "Kevin" when they first met. He even called Durple "Spyro" once.) He was shot by his own gun in the nightmare. Wenda just thought his accent (which was kind of exaggerated) annoying and he was like "WENDY WHY IS THE SKY RED" and shot him. She then thought of Jevin (hurting him physically would do nothing.) and decided to drag Tunner's almost-corpse over to Jevin just to mess with him.

Fun Bot and Fun-Puter were unscathed but traumatized, despite not having the brains to actually have dreams. Not even Garnold knows how they were able to recall events from the nightmares.

Sooooo.... How did the nightmares happen in the first place? When Sky first moved in, they wanted to live in the basement for some reason. When they were moving their stuff downstairs they found Black with its face taped to the TV watching the series finale to the universe-equivalent of "The Young and the Restless". And Black got distracted by Sky RIGHT when the big twist ending happened, and it got REALLY mad about it. So as punishment they subjected all of the residents to 14 nights of nightmares.

Feel free to ask questions about these hcs, I'll gladly answer them with a reblog.

I'm also sorry that this is super long.

read all of them and they were all FIRE 💜

i liek gray. tell mii of gray

welp, time to get the other fan favorite out of the way then! you'll be surpirsed but i actually DON'T have alot of thoughts regarding gray, so hopefully this ain't extremely short.

-demon sprunki! with just a tiny bit of cat, but not as much as you think. he's mostly demon.

-he's pretty introverted and isn't talkative, he usually hangs out on his own. usually the others don't mind, but ofc some people (namely simon) like hanging out with him and so drag him into activities.

-gray isn't his actual name, but he'd rather not reveal it, and so just goes by gray since it's easier.

-the "ears" are sharp at the tip, and may be partially horns, however they're still flexible like ears.

-he's extremely good at hiding, to the point that if he doesn't want someone to find him, they never will. considering he doesn't do this too often, it may be related to his demon traits and some sort of ability he has, but only he knows as he doesn't want others knowing his tricks.

-as mentioned before, gray and wenda have a love-hate relationship going on, where they're either fine with one another sometimes, and other times can't stand each other. gray usually doesn't care until wenda says something to irk him.

-despite his introvertedness he does get along fine with some people. brud and jevin are usually chill with him, so they don't disturb him too much. OWAKCX, while he can be a bit much if he's having a moment, is also usually just minding his business. tunner is also fine in his books, but tunner is usually too busy with his own work.

-raddy and him do NOT get along, and raddy particularly enjoys bullying him. which kinda does bite him later..

-him and mr. tree are best friends, mostly due to gray reading books under the tree every now and then. enrichment for both, which is also bad as gray was the one to find mr. tree's corpse when everything was starting to go down the drain.

-with the tree "dead", oren going missing, and simon behaving oddly, once raddy started throwing accusations that wenda had something to do with it, gray couldn't help but consider the idea. unfortunately, he took the news to find a place to hide instead, preserving his own safety as he assumed tunner and everyone else could protect the rest. he kinda misjudged the situation, especially since he wasn't aware of black at the time.

-he was pretty unaware of what was happening after he went into hiding, up until he decided to investigate once he noticed the sky. despite being uninjured, he's incredibly shaken up by the situation, unsure of what's happening.

-i do think he'd find the corpses at some point, likely upon finding tunner "dead" is when he realizes that this is aLOT worst than he thought, and so attempts to find other survivors.

-he does end up finding fun bot, and they explain what they're aware of to gray, so gray does have a bit of an idea, including that some of the other sprunkis caused the carnage.

-he's absolutely terrified of wenda rn, and does everything he can to avoid her. durple and simon are easy to avoid, but wenda? he'd rather not get in a tussle with her.

My friend and I are RPing O14 things centered around food right now so I figured I'd drop some thoughts to share here. Namely, the spice tolerance levels of the Iron Lords. Do you think it would carry over from their original lives? The thought of a chili eating contest amongst the group intrigues me. (Obviously Felwinter wouldn't count... Even if he could feel something from it I feel like his poker face would be too perfect. He is disqualified.)

This is a popular topic for conversation friends and I have also discussed!

*I would further disqualify Felwinter as he is noted canonically as not being interested in food at all/not subjected to the risk of DER and probably even entirely lacking the programming that typical Exo have to prevent it… like experiencing hunger.

That aside…

I think I agree with everyone else whose ever happily thrown Radegast under the bus as being black-pepper grade weak against any spice at all, strictly to see him kicked down a peg or 30.

I believe it was bestie Crafty along with Sylenth (friends with better memories than me correct me if I’m wrong or miss someone) that quickly convinced me it made good sense that Gheleon as a likely master huntsman and forager probably works magic with the bare basics but therefore doesn’t branch into spices much and as such doesn’t have much of a tolerance at all (but since he has a spine, does better than Raddy)

Timur I like to envision as a casual cook and have actually depicted prepping specifically curry. He likes a little warmth in his comfort food but I don’t think that threshold is remarkably high. Colovance has learned to tolerate what Timur cooks but his low tolerance was dragged up over time out of necessity.

Saladin I think can take a punch he’s getting into that realm where “not that spicy” to him is making the normie’s eyes water. Jolder can keep right up with him and might even have a higher tolerance if nothing else bc she’s competitive. Skorri is hot on their heels.

Osiris breathes fucking fire both literally and figuratively and utterly fails to notice. He would never share his food with any of the Iron Lords (Felwinter might be the exception but he knows Fel doesn’t want it so doesn’t offer) but if he did he would genuinely wonder why people’s eyes are incinerating out of their skulls on the first bite. That one time Colovance decided to be cheeky and steal from him he literally needed a rez.

(In case I'm gonna do a Sprunki blog one of these days- Let me just put this here lol

(It's very long so read if you can-

(TW: Mentions of death, gore, mutilation at the horror world part)

So I think this AU will be where the happy world and the horror world are seperate alternate universes- I'm still working on the AU's name :T

Oh, and btw, most of the things here are canon divergent, so I might not follow up with most of the lore ☝️

First of, we have the happy world-

Oren, Raddy and Pinki are in a poly relationship (Oren is dating both Raddy and Pinki- Raddy and Pinki aren't dating but are good friends)

Oren is the defintion of a cool cat (cool butterfly??) and love skateboards

Raddy (the red dinosaur(?)) likes sports and working out (and needs anger management ngl-)

Clukr (silver beetle) and Garnold (golden yellow fish) are inventors and work partners on building robots and machines (maybe they're not just "friends"? 👀)

Fun Bot and Mr. Fun Computer look up to Clukr and Garnold as their father figures since they've built them

Vineria (green snail) is a gardener and is into plants

Vineria wears a wig-

Gray and Wenda are opposites but are best friends (not related but they've known each other for a long time)

Gray (grey cat-like demon) is quiet and introverted while Wenda (white kitty) is chatty and extroverted

Brud (brown dog-like slime creature) isn't really the brightest Sprunki but he's a very silly and goofy guy :3

OWAKCX (lime hedgehog) (pronounced oh-wah-ka-ks") works as businessman

Most of the Sprunkis call OWAKCX "Lime" cuz it's easier (he doesn't mind tho)

OWAKCX has a crush on Vineria but is nervous to tell her in person

Sky (sky blue bear cub) is the youngest of the Sprunkis (he's 14 while everyone else are adults)

Sky likes collecting plushies- His favorites are teddy bears

Durple (purple dragon) is a collector and can play the trumpet- He also likes reading books

Mr. Sun is pretty much a talking sentient sun- That's it :P

Mr. Tree is a talking sentient tree who has a lot of wisdom- He's also lived around to be 50 years old

Simon (yellow alien) is described as "eater of foods" :P

Simon has golden retriever energy :>

Tunner (tan reptile bunny hybrid) is the sheriff of the Sprunkis and tries to protect them from danger

Pinki (pink bunny) is big sweetheart and cares a lot for her friends

Jevin (blue vampire bat) is a mysterious guy- But despite his ominous look, he's pretty chill and tries to join the other Sprunkis' activities

Jevin and Tunner are married ^^

Blackhat (unknown entity) is.. well.. pretty much a terrible person- He's in jail-

OWAKCX and Blackhat have some.. pretty bad history- It could explain why he's super anxious and paranoid

And now the horror world..

The horror world was like the happy world until Wenda found a black hat that she given by a mysterious black figure

Oren had the inside of his body cut open- He's also blind in both eyes

Raddy got hung by his neck and had half of his face and the lower part of his body ripped off

Clukr's cymbal crushed half of his head

Fun Bot and Mr. Fun Computer have no injuries but seem aware of what's going on (they've seen some things-)

Vineria got mutated by her wig where this version of hers turned out to be a fungus

Gray is uninjured and was able to escape, but he's very traumatized- He just wants his friend back <:(

Brud got half of his head bitten off by Simon (he doesn't feel any pain, which is why he's alive)

Garnold got the springlock treatment in his own robot suit

OWAKCX had the skin of his mouth and lower body ripped off like it was paper

Sky got himself impaled by four metal rods (jesus.. ._.)

Similar to Fun Bot and Mr. Fun Computer, Mr. Sun and Mr. Tree have no injuries but are very aware of what's going on

Durple got corrupted and became an abnormal entity- He also has a very stretchy mouth

Simon morphed himself to be more monstrous

Simon bit Brud out of hunger which he instantly regretted (Brud quickly forgave him cuz he doesn't even remember the incident lol)

Due to stress, Tunner shot himself in the head, thinking he wasn't able save all his fellow Sprunkis and he failed as a sheriff (thankfully he was found by Jevin)

Wenda is either possessed and/or manipulated by the black hat, which she ended up attempting to murder some of her friends

Pinki got her face ripped off by a wooden plank (HTF reference?)

Jevin also escaped uninjured, but is determined to put an end what is happening

Legends say that even Wenda is fighting off the black hat..

Thank you for coming to my lore dumping UvU)

[sh4tt3rg1rl]

hello. Um. Could you explain sprunki to me because I have zero context /gen

what the frick happened to these poor creatures

Elsie youve ddoomed yourself (Shaking

OKAY SO BADICALLLY

sprunki is an incredibox mod originally created on scratch

it doesnt TECHNICALLY have actual lore as in most of the game is basically showcase for art and song n stuff

but most of the lore is found on the Sprunki DiscordTM from the creator and/or the Sprunki WikiTM

the general canon consensus is that everyone in Sprunkitown (/joke name) was Normal and cool and friends

(like how Pinki and Oren were considered canon dating or Durple and Raddy are brothers)

and everyone was chill (and awesome and cool) (other than the cultist) (we dont talk about the cultist) (jevin)

and then Black came in.

and blacks a FUCKHEAD!!!!!!!!

he basically made a deal with wenda(white) to make her go insane and kill a ton of people or whwtever

No one knows what happened to that fuckass simon (yellow

Durple has stretchy skin and a little stretchy mouth

Raddy, Oren, Owakcx, +more got fucked up (all probably by wenda

Tunner got shot by wenda

Vineria got a plant growing inside of her and out of her eyes

Black shoved a ton of poles through Sky (rip)

Gray survived by hiding, Brud survived but he got half of his face bit off by Simon

Pinki survived but she got her face ripped off, Mr. Fun Computer survived but is traumatized, Funbot survived but is traumatized

Garnold got springlocked by his suit, Clukr got his head smashed in, Owakcx got his skin ripped off for his jaw and his body

BlabalabalaabalakaldjkfjskdkAAAAAAAAAA

im INSANE

All of it is bc of Black (and a lot of people think bc of Jevin too cuz hes a cultist for him lmao

IM ISNNSE

this is really simplified of everything that happened but its most of it yeah

edit: Oops i forgotty. Oren got his chest ripped open so u can see my Heart ❤️ and raddy got hung and got his flesh ripped away

[mamafaithful]

writing exercise

A grabs B’s arm, pulls them close and begs in a panicked whisper, “Pretend you know me, please! Someone’s following me.” Raduriel paused at the edge of the park pond to view the stars reflected in the water when a small hand wound its way into theirs. The small figure tugged and began to whisper, panic lacing the small figure’s words. “Pretend you know me …” “Tsk” She looked up at the boy’s face, seeing him shift his gaze back to the pond. “Took you long enough. Thought you said you’d be back an hour ago? Mother will be mad.” “S…s…sorry, I got lost on my way back.” Raduriel tightened their grip on the small child’s hand and she let out a sigh. He bent down next to them and shrugged. “You getting on or are you walking the entire way back?” They let go and tentatively the child climbed onto their back. “Thank you” She whispered into his ear. Raduriel righted themselves, shifting ever so slightly and began walking. “I’m Poppy” “Radureil, You got any place to be?” “That’s an odd name? And no. I normally go to the shelter at night.” “Hmm. Come meet Mother. You can leave after but she takes in stray cats all the time. Bad habit that. Gotten themselves robbed countless times but they take care of us all the same.” Poppy yawned and leant their head onto the back of his neck. “Okay.” Raduriel noticed the stranger pause as they reached the house spotting a tall figure leaning on the pillar of the porch. The figure’s eyes held a glare that passed over Raduriel’s shoulder. “Evenin’ Mother.” “Raddy what time do you think it is?” This made Poppy startle. “Ssssh poppet. Did your mean brother keep you out all night?” She cooed as she stroked Poppy’s hair as they passed by and into the house. Mother stood on the porch with a scornful glare. “You better leave or I’m calling the police. And I bet I’m better at bullshitting than you are.”

[iburntthewateragain]

alright so I wanted to reblog this to say one thing

I am not sure if there was laws but I think Tunner would just chase around (and possibly shoot) people who were just doing bad things like Raddy being a bully etc. and I also remember something about a brown character with a bucket on his head… I don’t remember his name but I think it was something like bud or spud or something like that

Like I said I’m not sure because it’s been a while so take my word with a hint of salt

so I don’t remember a lot from the show but I think Tunner (the tan one) owned a gun and was the sherif

im not totally sure if it was in it but I can remember that…

that might be close.. he definately does own a gun but im not sure if he was the sheriff. i don’t remember if sprunkiville had laws

[persephoneofhades]

minachar28 replied to your post “minachar28 replied to your post “If Maddie and Ben never get together...”

I'm gonna point out that "coming onto my post" comment makes little sense on social media. Your post was public for the world to see so getting comments (even those you disagree with) comes with the territory. I looked up #Polymarine and found your post. On to your new post - I can see you point but you also missed some of mine. Bryndie was heavily entwined in the frabric of Siren. From Day 1 there were hints, then clear signs then they officially happened. Now its being dropped like it meant nothing. You seem to mainly be a Raddie fan (I may be wrong) but even they are slowing being put on the back burning. It becoming all about Bryn. I can see with this is all going. Sure Maddie in a interesting storyline with Ben & Ryn for now but how long will that really last? Maddie will be forgotten/left behind/out of the loop before long. As part of the main couple she gets to be a real lead. Bryndie is beautiful & their story can last but only if the writers don't give up on them. Relationships are up & down/not always perfect so the conflict isn't a bad thing but this extra distance will most likely get unnecessary. As for possibly dropping the show - if enough people stop watching then Siren will get cancelled which isn't helping anyone. Ben leaving Ian to drown was messed up but did you missed the point that Maddie would die? That was also a main reason Ben didn't save him which he should have told her instead of making look like it was just about protecting the merpeople. I'm not saying Ben was right but see how the merpeople was gonna be hunted down and enslaved/experimented on/killed. Ben had reasons. I'm all for Maddie having separate things outside of the mermaid stuff but that could still happen with her bring part of Polymarine. Obviously we can disagree but I needed to explain my point. In my 3rd comment I meant without Ben & Ryn. Also meant the Byrndie could last if the writers don't give up on them. Wasn't trying to start an argument just replying back.

You can point out that my post is public and it is and I have no issues with people responding to it, but you can also choose how you respond to it. Being negative on a post where I was trying super hard to be positive and telling me that you think the show is RUINED? Didn’t feel so good. I’m always up for discussions and debates about a show I’m this passionate about, I really am. Just... maybe try to keep it to discussion topics and not plain and simple bashing.

Okay, so responding to this with the perspective of having now seen episode 8, I’m... starting to turn towards the side of “this is total BS, Maddie’s being sidelined and it’s AWFUL and Polymarine may not last and I hate it.” There are quite a few moments in episode 8 that just... very visually represent that difference (Maddie getting a cheek kiss and then Ben immediately afterwards getting a lips kiss, Maddie not standing/sitting next to Bryn at the wedding, etc).

So like... yeah. I mean, you’re not wrong that I’m partial to Raddie over Bryn, for sure, but I did like Polymarine at least equally as much as I liked Raddie. And I didn’t HATE Bryn, they’ve definitely had some cute moments in the past, though I’m liking them less and less as this season goes on because they seem to be getting portrayed as more and more dysfunctional. But I have a whole post somewhere detailing why I think Polymarine perfectly represents the whole theme of balance and how the three of them together work beautifully to represent the two things each of them is always having to balance within themselves and how each of them works to balance the other two. Polymarine obviously does not exist without Ben and I have absolutely loved Ben in earlier seasons and really rooted for him. It’s just this season that they’ve made him less likable which has, in turn, made his relationship with Ryn somewhat less likable, too.

What I think you were missing earlier is that while I guess I didn’t necessarily disagree that there were some bad signs, I was trying REALLY FUCKING HARD to stay positive about it and see it in a better light, in a way that wasn’t indicative of this show I adore becoming a shitshow that drops some spectacular polyamorous rep with a beautiful wlw relationship and sidelines the main Black woman. I really really REALLY did not want to believe this show would do that, I’ve been working SUPER FUCKING HARD all goddamn season to try to come up with theories about why Ryn and Maddie have been getting a lot less affectionate scenes than Ryn and Ben have been getting, about why it was important for Maddie to have her relationship with Robb and (this is what my original post was about) why Maddie being with Robb didn’t actually cancel out the polyamorous rep or the wlw relationship since as far as we’ve been told, Ryn is still dating two people, which makes Polymarine still a polyamorous relationship, even if it’s a V instead of a triangle. And Maddie having feelings for Robb and maybe starting to date him means that Maddie is ALSO dating two people, turning that V into a Z. Or an N. Whichever letter you prefer. Which was UNHEARD of polyamorous representation. So while I definitely love Polymarine, I was not against the show exploring the different ways polyamorous relationships can happen, the different forms they can take.

After episode 8, though, I’m... really despondent. I’m losing some of my faith in this show doing right by us, doing right by these characters. Robb’s gone, Maddie definitely got sidelined in this episode both narratively and visually. None of that spells anything good. It’s like 3am so my mind is coming up with wild conspiracy theories about how some of what we’re seeing are more hallucinations in Ben’s mind, that the season 2 finale wasn’t a one-off, but FORESHADOWING. I’m tired, I’m upset, I’m kinda angry right now, so I’m probably MASSIVELY off-base, but it’s literally the only thread of hope I have left right now so I’m going to hang onto it until the show rips it out of my hands.

As for dropping the show, it didn’t sound like you were getting much out of it and I’m a proponent of not watching shows that don’t bring you joy. It’s not your job to try to keep a show from getting cancelled if you don’t like it anymore, even if other people do. I’ve dropped SEVERAL shows because they weren’t making me happy anymore, so like I said, no judgment on my end if this show just wasn’t doing it for you anymore. Personally, I wasn’t just sticking around for Polymarine or for Raddie, I was sticking around for Ryn and her baby, Ryn and her tribe, for Helen, for Xander, for the environmental message, for the beautiful theme of balance being the key to everything. There was (and hopefully still IS) so much in this show that I love and I 100% would stick around to watch this show for a while probably even if Polymarine stayed a V, or a Z. I might have problems if Maddie got sidelined and removed from Polymarine entirely, but up until this episode, that hadn’t entirely happened. This episode removed almost EVERYTHING that I enjoy about this show from the environmental message (all three of them agreeing to use the sonic cannon despite its known impact on all marine life), the message about balance (either Ben or Ryn has to give up their home to be together or they have to break up and go their separate ways but no in-between option) to Maddie’s role in the narrative and her relationship with Ryn AND Ben to Xander possibly DYING. So quite honestly, if the show continues the way it has in this episode, I’LL probably consider dropping it, because this isn’t the show I fell in love with.

Okay, so addressing your question about if I recognized that Maddie would have died if Ian had been allowed to live. NO. I don’t recognize that because it ISN’T TRUE. Did you forget the whole fact that this was a HALLUCINATION Ben had in which he mischaracterized both Xander and Calvin MASSIVELY and was working on some majorly incorrect information? We were told, point blank, that Ian could not have revealed ANYTHING without some solid physical proof, it’s why he was trying to kidnap Ryn. Without her, his article was DEAD. Had Ian lived, they probably could have forced him to give up his attempts given that they’d just SAVED HIS LIFE. We have NO IDEA what might have happened if Ben had let Ian live. But I HIGHLY doubt that it would have automatically FOR SURE meant Maddie’s death. The whole thing was a nightmare scenario based on Ben’s paranoia and very little else. Ben didn’t have “reasons”. At least, none that were actually REASONABLE. While Ben probably SHOULD have told Maddie about his hallucination, the reason he DIDN’T is because admitting to having hallucinations means he’d have to admit the reason WHY he was having hallucinations: namely, that he re-addicted himself to the Song. Nothing Ben saw in his hallucination is a worthwhile excuse for letting another human being drown when Ben could have saved him. Nothing. It helps us UNDERSTAND why Ben did what he did, sure, because it shows us just how not in his right mind Ben is, how far gone he’s become now that he’s listened to the Song again. But it doesn’t exonerate him or excuse the fact that he killed a man.

I think we have a very different definition of what “being part of Polymarine” means. For me, Polymarine is the relationship between the three of them (at least for now) and the three of them are still connected through Ryn. Just because Ben and Maddie aren’t dating EACH OTHER doesn’t mean that Polymarine isn’t still a relationship that exists, it just exists as a V instead of a triangle, as I mentioned in the original post you replied to and have mentioned in my replies a few times now. Maddie is still dating Ryn and her involvement in Robb wasn’t (for a while) taking her away from the main narratives. She was SUPER involved in the earlier episodes that dealt with the hybrids and the baby. In fact there was an entire episode in which Ben spends the whole time with his parents while Maddie runs around with Ryn, helping her train, helping her read, taking her to the hybrid doctor to deal with the cramps, following her to the ranch to find Meredith, etc. For a while there, in the beginning of this season, it definitely did not feel like Maddie was going to get sidelined just because she needed space from Ben or because they introduced Robb. I have been holding onto that hope those episodes gave me up until now. But while I agree that I’d prefer Maddie have side storylines AND continue to be involved in the main narrative, I think that’s exactly what was happening in the early episodes.

So look, am I starting to believe that all of the people who have been crying out in the tags that this season’s been a sign that Maddie’s going to be sidelined and the show is going to let go of the part that made it the unique and beautiful, might be right? Yes.

Am I still desperately trying to cling to what little hope I have that there’s something we AREN’T SEEING HERE that can turn this around in the 11th hour?

Also yes.

Brother’s Best Friend

Summary: Being the youngest sister of Jamie and Jordie Benn has many perks, including being introduced to their attractive friends. When you and Tyler Seguin start dating, it’s hard to find the right way to tell Jamie - well, unless he finds out on his own.

You hadn’t meant for it to happen - neither of you had. When you first met Tyler, it was because Jamie had brought you to practice. You’d sat on the side of the ice, slightly bored, having been raised on hockey. Tyler had looked over at you with curious eyes at first, which turned into flirty glances. By the end of practice, Tyler was itching to get your name. So when Jamie brought you onto the ice and introduced you as his “baby sister,” Tyler’s heart dropped.

It was a few years, a couple dozen charity events, and too many days off later when Tyler finally got tired of just being your brother’s friend. Still, he didn’t want to face Jamie, or god forbid Jordie, to tell them that he had the hots for their youngest sibling. When he asked you out, it hadn’t surprised you, but when he urged “don’t say anything to your brothers yet,” you were shocked. It took a while, but you understood the difficult place that Tyler was in, and you figured that you wanted to decide if this could be a serious relationship before announcing it to the family anyway.

For the following 5 months, you’d been much more eager to go visit Dallas, as well as more eager to attend practices and games. Jamie noticed. He also noticed that Tyler had been more careful around him. He wasn’t going home with any random girls, he wasn’t poking as much fun at Jamie, and he was eerily curious about Y/N. But still, Jamie didn’t put two and two together. Because of course, one of his best friends wouldn’t go behind his back with his sister, right?

In fact, you and Tyler were head over heels. You FaceTimed and called one another as often as you could. When you and Tyler were in the same town, you snuck secret dates in whenever possible. It was nearly a month ago when Tyler had first told you that he loved you, a sentiment which you gladly returned. The two of you had even talked about you moving to Dallas, after all, you’d known Tyler for years, and the relationship was moving quickly in the best way possible. You then decided that it was time to make your relationship public.

You had just landed in Dallas, ready to attend your first Stars game as not only Jamie’s sister, but Tyler’s girlfriend as well. You and Tyler planned on telling Jamie after the game, hoping that the Stars would win so that he would be in a good mood. You’d already told your parents and Jordie, all of whom took it surprisingly well. Tyler had let the news slip to a few players, but they knew to keep their mouths shut unless they wanted a very tense season.

You found your seat in the bleachers, calming your nerves for the night ahead. As the game started, everything was looking up. The Stars got on the board early, and Tyler even got an assist. You settled into your roll as cheering squad, Jamie got another on the board, and things were going well. Down on the bench, however, things were about to take a turn.

“That was a beauty, Chubbs!” Tyler beamed, giving his friend a pat on the back.

“Thanks Segs,” Jamie replied, “y’know you’ve been really nice to me recently.”

Jamie let out a chuckle and Tyler was about to dispute the statement when Radulov scoffed.

“I’d be nice too if I were banging the Captain’s sister.” Raddy laughed, Klinger hit his shoulder, and Jamie and Tyler froze.

“You what?” Jamie spoke, his voice low. If there wasn’t a game going on, Tyler was sure that Jamie would drop his gloves.

“Jamie,” Tyler started cautiously, “can we talk after the game?” Tyler was sure that he’d turned white as a ghost, and Jamie wasn’t feeling sympathetic, but he knew that he had a game to focus on, so he swallowed his pride.

Without speaking, Jamie turned his head toward the ice. The bench was filled with a thick uncomfortable silence, despite the fact that the arena was so loud. When Tyler and Jamie went on for their shift, Tyler was holding his breath. In any other situation, he would say that Jamie was a dedicated captain that put his team over most everything. But right now, Tyler wouldn’t be surprised if Jamie checked him into the glass just for payback.

Luckily, that didn’t happen. What did happen, in fact, was that an opposing player checked Tyler - hard. It was a late hit, the refs called it, and the player went to the penalty box. Without thinking, Tyler looked to Jamie, expecting the man to drop gloves and scrap over the dirty hit, but Jamie did no such thing. Instead, Tyler was met with Jamie’s unforgiving glare and an overwhelming feeling of guilt.

When Tyler got hit, you gasped. You stood up to yell for the obvious penalty. You’d expected your brother to start a fight for his friend, but that didn’t happen. When you looked onto the ice, Jamie was glaring at Tyler, who was still slowly getting off of the ground. If you didn’t know any better, you say that Jamie was mad at Tyler; but why would he be? It’s not like he had any way of knowing about your relationship.

The rest of that game was... weird, to say the least. The Stars won, but Jamie had been playing much more aggressively than normal. Furthermore, it was like he was refusing to communicate with his team. When the game ended, rather than celebrate like normal, Jamie skated directly off the ice and down the tunnel. The nervous feeling returned to the pit of your stomach - you knew that something was wrong.

You immediately left your seat and went to find your brother. When you did, you immediately wished that you’d stayed put in the bleachers. Jamie was sitting in the locker room, visibly pissed and nearly shaking with anger. You knew that he’d seen you come in, but he didn’t acknowledge you at all.

“Jam,” you began, taking slow steps toward him, “what’s going on?” When you reached him, you heard another person enter the room. This time, Jamie stood quickly and took two large, aggressive steps toward whoever else was in the room. When you turned, you were met with the terrified face of Tyler. Oh shit.

“How fucking dare you!” Jamie screamed, you’d never seen him so livid. “Not only did you go behind my back to fuck my sister, but you decided to brag about it to the entire team?!”

Oh shit. He was definitely taking this the wrong way - and you didn’t blame him. You knew Tyler’s reputation, and from Jamie’s view, Tyler had been messing around with you only for the boasting rights.

“Jamie, that’s not what it is,” Tyler pleaded, looking to you for some relief from the situation.

“Don’t even fucking look at her! Are you kidding me, Seguin? Of all the girls in the world, you decide to go after Y/N?” The more he yelled, the angrier he got. “Did you already sleep with every other girl in the fucking world, or what?”

“Jamie!” You interrupted, putting yourself between him and Tyler, worried that if you didn’t, Tyler would end up with a broken nose. “That’s not what’s happening! Don’t you dare insinuate that I’m some stupid kid with no say in this. We’re dating for god’s sake!”

Jamie paused, breaking his death glare at Tyler to look down at you.

“How long?” He asked, his voice strong and punching.

“Five months.” You replied, equally as bluntly. The two of you glowered at one another as if you were in a childhood argument all over again.

“So what, you just figured you’d never tell me?” Jamie asked, becoming more animated as his anger grew again. “Was I even gonna get an invite to the wedding? Am I already an uncle and you just decided not to tell me that either?!”

“Stop, Chubbs.” This time it was Tyler that spoke, earning a glare from both you and Jamie as you internally scolded him for using that nickname right now. “We decided not to tell you until we knew that it was a serious thing. I mean, I know that this isn’t ideal, and I’m sorry that we went behind your back, but we just didn’t want to make a big deal of something unless it was actually a big deal.”

Miraculously, that seemed to calm Jamie down. Tyler still kept his distance, but he walked over to you and gently grabbed your hand. Jamie scowled at the action, causing Tyler to drop your hand quickly. You sighed and grabbed his hand once more.

“Listen, Jam,” you stayed calmly, “we were planning on telling you tonight, and this obviously isn’t the way we wanted to do it. Tyler and I love each other, and that’s something that you’re going to have to get used to. I get that you’re mad right now, but when you calm down, we can actually talk about this instead of screaming at each other. Goodbye.”

You leaned up and gave Tyler a quick kiss on the cheek, earning another scowl from Jamie. You then left the locker room and walked into the hallway, which was filled with a very uncomfortable looking Stars team. You smiled at them and continued walking.

You had been sitting on the bleachers alone for nearly 20 minutes before Jamie came up to you. He sat next to you, sighing heavily.

“I’m sorry for getting so pissed.” You knew that it was hard for him to swallow his pride and apologize, given the current situation, so you were proud of him for doing so.

You looked up at him with a smile, which he returned with a scoff.

“S’okay, Jamie,” you muttered, “I hope you know that we’re good together - Tyler and I. Mom keeps calling him ‘lovestruck.’”

“Dammit, Y/N,” Jamie laughed, “mom knows too?”

“Yeah, you were pretty much the last one in on the joke. Jordie handled it a lot better than you did, by the way.” The conversation felt light again, and you were happy.

It wasn’t long before Tyler found his way over to you, sitting quickly and putting his arm around your shoulders. Jamie shook his head, still not used to the new relationship. In return, Tyler gave Jamie’s shoulder a shove from around you.

“You better at least tell me before you propose to her, Segs.” Jamie started, causing you to blush wildly.

“Well obviously; someone’s gotta help me pick out the ring.” You blushed further at Tyler’s words, and when you looked at him, he was just as red.

It would be a little bit before things were fully back to normal, but you were content with where they were now, and looking forward to the future.

Part 1    Part 2    Part 4

(Brooke’s POV)

Ashlyn and I found our way down the steps towards where our seats were located, setting my purse on the floor where we were standing.

"This is so cool," I smiled over at Ashlyn, so excited to be sitting this close to the ice.

"I know! We're going to get so many good pictures!" She said.

We both sat in our seats while we waited for the guys to start coming out from the locker room. It was still pretty early, the doors had just barely been opened and people were slowly starting to make their way into the rink. I watched as some took their seats while others made their way down to the glass so they could put their signs up against the glass and hope for a selfie or puck from one of the players.

I looked over and saw that they were stepping out onto the ice, skating around a bit and knocking the pucks onto the ice before taking a few warmup shots. Ashlyn and I stood up and got closer to the glass. Immediately to my right I hear a squeal and some giggling. I groaned and rolled my eyes knowing what I was going to see when I looked over. So instead I looked over to Ashlyn and I saw her trying to hold back her laughing, watching my reaction.

"I'm right aren't I?" I asked.

"Ooooh yeah.." she said as she laughed, shaking her head and turned her attention back to the ice.

I turned my head back towards the ice but my eyes continued to move towards my right, looking at the two girls standing next to me. They had on Dallas shirts that they had modified to make them more.. revealing. They had about a pound of makeup on and fucking heels?! Are you kidding me to a hockey game? I laughed a bit and shook my head. To each their own but that was a broken ankle waiting to happen.

"Yeah.. yeah I was right," I said. I had known there were going to be puck bunnies here tonight but boy were they out doing themselves this time. I managed to look over again as they were pulling a sign up that when I read it made my eyes go wide.

"Dude.."

"What?" Ashlyn asked, leaning over seeing the sign but not able to read it now that it was plastered up against the glass.

"You don't even want to know," I let out a sarcastic laugh. Before I could even continue to tell her what it said they looked over at us.

"You got a problem?" The platinum blonde one questioned.

"Me?" I asked pointing to myself. "Nooo," I faked a smile. They just looked at us with a bitchy face and I ignored them.

"Tyler's out on the ice," Ashlyn said, nudging me.

"Aw yeah there he is! Rads is right behind him," I smiled nudged her back. I smiled and watched him for a minute.

"Like he would ever pay attention to you two," I heard one of them mumble and the other one laugh.

I bit your tongue not wanting to start anything, knowing that they wouldn't be sitting next to you tonight anyways so I only had to deal with them for the rest of the pregame warmup.

I leaned down and grabbed my phone out of my bag and turned it on. I looked down and saw that Tyler's name popped up on my screen with a text from him, my phone making your notification sound.

"Did he already text you back?" Ashlyn asked looking over, seeing who it was.

"Yeah I guess so," I laughed.

I heard a gasp to your right and I looked over. The girl closest to me was looking at my phone with a surprised expression, seeing Tyler's full name on the screen. She looked up when she realized I had looked over at her. "That's obviously not him," she said pointing to Tyler who was skating around the net.

"And why do you think its not?" I asked.

She looked me up and down and looked away, that was clearly enough of an explanation for me to know exactly what she meant.

"Remember my face sweetie you might see it again someday," I smirked and turned my attention back to the ice.

"Ha," she laughed and rolled her eyes.

Ashlyn was about dying at this point, wishing that she would be able to see the reaction later on when she did see my face again.

I saw Jamie over by Tyler, whispering to him with his glove over his mouth and motioning in the direction of us, knowing he was pointing to the girls sign. Tyler rolled his eyes and shook his head. He looked over and saw that we just happen to be standing right next to the puck bunnies and he calls over to Radulov to get his attention, motioning to us. I hear the two girls gasp, thinking that hes talking about them but I knew better.

I smiled as I grabbed my phone, watching as the two of them skate over. I saw out of the corner of your eye the girls pulling down their shirts and fixing their hair. I smile through the glass at them, waving. They wave back and Ashlyn and I turn around so that we can get a selfie with them. Just as you go to take the picture Jamie skates over and gets in the back. I turn back around and the boys give you a thumbs up.

"What the fuck?" The girls to your right say as they skate away totally ignoring them.

"Aw whats the matter your sign didn't work?" Ashlyn smiled at them.

"Shut up. The only thing you two would get from any of them is a picture anyways."

Just then Tyler and Alexander skated back over, both with a puck each. Alexander tossed his first, Ashlyn catching it, smiling big at him and he returned the smile. He pointed to it and made a flipping motion with his hand. Ashlyn turned it over and gasped, wide eyed seeing that his number was on the back.

"Brooke!" was all she could get out and showed it to me, making sure the other girls couldn’t see it.

"Ooooh!" I giggled and she grabbed her phone to text him right away so that he would get it when he went back to the locker room.

Tyler then tossed his over the glass and both the blonde girl and I went to catch it. She grabbed it out of my hands saying "That was for me. He did see the sign," She smirked, all proud of herself.

Just then you both heard a tap on the glass and looked over to see Tyler looking at the blonde girl and shook his head. He pointed to me and mouthed "It's for her," with a disgusted look on his face.

She matched his face with one of her own and gave me the puck.

"Make that a picture and a puck," I smile as I watch them both stalk up the stairs, mad.

I laugh and turn back, smiling at Tyler who smiled back at me. I just about melt into a puddle right there. He and Alexander for the rest of the warmup hung around over near us, stretching and acting silly. Ashlyn and I took lots of pictures and videos, laughing so much when they would do something dumb on the ice, knowing they were trying to make you laugh since they kept looking over and smiling when they saw our reactions. Right before they headed off the ice to get ready for the entrance for the game they both tapped on the glass with their sticks to us and skated off.

The game went amazing, Alexander got the goal that tied the game and Tyler ended up getting two more right before the 3rd period ended. We grabbed our stuff and made our way back up the the suite that we had spent time in between the periods to hang out and have some snacks.

I set my stuff down and sat on the couch and sighed "That was so great," I smiled and rested my head against the back of the couch.

"I know that game was so intense but so amazing. And both Tyler and Alexander kept coming over to tap the glass every time they got a goal that was so cool," Ashlyn smiled as she joined me on the couch.

"So you got a text from Raddy saying to not leave the suite right away?" I asked her.

"Yeah he said they were going to change and shower really quick and come up to meet us in like 15 minutes," she said.

We sat there just talking about the game and re watching some of the videos and snapchats that we had taken. I heard a knock at the door and it opened, seeing Tyler peek around the corner.

"Heeey," he smiled as he entered the room, Alexander right behind him.

"You guys did so good!" I smiled at them.

"Thank you! It was a fun game," Alexander responded.

"So you girls want to go grab something to eat somewhere?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah that'd be great!" I smiled and stood up, grabbing my things.

"We'll take my jeep and then come back here to drop you off later if that's ok?" He asked as we walked out of the suite and started down the hall towards the stairs.

"Yeah that sounds great," Ashlyn responded.

"Oh.. I do have to warn you we are going to be walking by a line of fans and we will stop and take some pictures and things but it wont be too long," Tyler smiled, walking next to me, standing close, which I enjoyed a lot.

"That's ok," I smiled up at him, he was quite a bit taller than me. Actually he was almost a whole foot taller than me, being that I’m 5'3" and he's 6'1".

"So I saw you had a little run in with some puck bunnies earlier?" He laughed and I nodded, rolling your eyes.

"Yeaaah. Surprised she actually gave me the puck back and didn't run away with it," I laughed.

"Yeah she was a little surprised when I told her it wasn't for her. Especially with what that sign said," he said rolling his eyes again.

"Yeah that was gross," I responded.

Ashlyn nodded "Well you can tell they aren't very creative if all you can come up with is 'puck for suck?' like really?" she laughed.

I laughed, hearing it from someones mouth just made it even more funny. "At least she knows how to rhyme," I said after I finally stopped laughing, wiping I eyes as you had started crying you were laughing so hard, as were the rest of them.

We all took a deep breath and settled down, still laughing a bit as we rounded the corner, seeing a line of fans. There were some kids, some older people, and then I saw them again. The lovely puck bunnies from earlier.

"Oh speak of the she devils," Ashlyn groaned.

I saw that they weren't paying attention at all until people starting screaming once seeing Tyler and Alexander. I saw that Jamie had just finished going through the line and waved back at us. "See you in a few minutes dude I'll get us a table!" he called as he headed off to his car.

The two girls turned back to see who he was talking to and smiled seeing it was  Tyler. Then they noticed Ashlyn and I again and their eyes went wide, their jaws wide open.

"Looks like we got to see their reaction to seeing our faces again after all," I laughed and Ashlyn smirked, loving this whole moment.

As we made it down the line, Ashlyn and I following behind the boys slowly so they had time to get to everyone and we didn't get in the way, we finally made it towards the end where the two girls were at. They got their shirts signed and took a picture with the two of them.

Tyler saw the girl's glances over to you two, whispering something to each other that you couldn't hear but he obviously did. He smiled at me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder and started walking out with me, watching the girls faces drop again and watched as we walked by them and out to the parking lot where we all got into Tyler's car.

"Oh my god their faces were priceless when you did that!" Ashlyn laughed.

"I had to. They are not nice girls. I don't think they realized I heard what they had said so I wanted to prove them wrong," He smiled at me two in the review mirror as he started the car.

"Oh? What did they say?" I asked him.

He shook his head "Doesn't matter."

"Tyler.. it's ok I'm sure I have heard it before," I said.

"They just were for whatever reason shocked that you two were actually with us. They thought that you had just followed us or something," he said and drove out of the parking lot.

"Yeah not surprised. She made a number of comments to us back at warmups."

"Sorry about that. I don't know why girls like that are so mean to other girls." Alexander said.

"Yeah sadly its normal," Ashlyn said.

"Yeah its why I'm not usually friends with girls. Unless we are similar," I nod towards Ashlyn and she nods back in agreement.

"Well either way I was happy to prove them wrong," Tyler smiled again as he pulled onto the highway.

The rest of the night was amazing, Ashlyn and I got to hang out with the boys and a couple of their other teammates at the restaurant and had some food. After a couple hours the four of us made our way back to the AAC and Tyler dropped us off at Ashlyn's car. We all said our goodbyes and both Tyler and Alexander said they would text us later on.

"How did this happen?" Ashlyn laughed as we pulled out of the parking lot and headed back towards her house.

"Your guess is as good as mine," I laughed.

It's headcannon time @mimi-multifandom @oddest-wren

Austin is dyslexic, he has a lot of trouble spelling Quinn's name in particular

Remember my silly family tree thing? HERES THE FULL ONE! ok so sometime in the late 70's early 80's Wally and Evelyn got married and had 3 children while married, Rudy, Cherissa and Quinn, those two eventually divorced and sometime in the early 2000s Wally married Edna, which was around the time she had adopted the X twins, they stayed married until around sometime in 2011 when they divorced.

But let's jump back a few years to 2006 when Rudy first met Scarlett, the two met in their senior year of highschool, started dating a week later, James and Mary didn't exactly trust Rudy at first but Mindy trusted him a lot, as she was at the time Quinns best friend, BUT ANYWAYS, Rudy and Scarlett got married in 2007 which was around the same time they A) started their band and B) started fostering Mitch, sometime in July of 2008, Rudy and Scarlett had Sprinks.

Now let's jump back AGAIN to 2007, James who was a junior at the time met Whippa, the two started dating at homecoming of the next year, during the after party the two ROYALLY messed up because the week before senior prom 2008 Willow was born! Whippa and James ended up getting married around 2016/17.

LETS JUMP BACK HOWEVER WERE STILL NOT DONE, 2009 Quinn graduated with honors and went to Harvard, and met Timm, the two hit it off and got married the week after graduation, then started Quinn Timm and Associates, around April 2010 they divorced after a fight, until Timm got a text from her around September with a picture of baby Austin attached, currently Quinn and Timm are trying to fix their relationship up a bit for Austin's mental health.

Now that THAT whole trainwreck is out of the way, back to more headcannons.

Carlo only gets ice in his drinks at the Hotdoggeria for Sprinks because he knows she'll eat the ice afterwards.

Carlo proposes on the Sky Ninja! Sprinks was absolutely perplexed on the way down, she said yes of course.

Mindy and Chuck aren't married yet contrary to popular belief, they're working on it though

Everyone calls Radlynn “Addy” (Spelt Raddy) and Mindy thinks it's the cutest thing ever.

Quinn and Petrona get along SCARILY well, it definitely freaks out both Austin and Iggy to some extent

Going back to the family tree headcannon really quick yes that does mean Cherissa is Olivia's mom, who's her dad? No one knows, not even Cherissa.

Anywho, Duke had the cheesiest way of proposing to Shannon and it actually involves the team Gotcha name, when Shannon first heard the name she was a bit confused as "Her last name isn't Gotcha" to which Duke replied "Not yet"

Whiff is actually a big softie underneath his super tough persona

Anyway that's all I got :3

Would anyone like to listen to be drop silly PL headcannons to cope with my breakup

Cough @iamjojoswife @mimi-multifandom @oddest-wren @gourmetweeddogs @earthdragon360 cough

You Bag Him, I’ll Tag Him.... update coming!!  So, Tyler and Jamie go to Vegas... and well... here’s a sneak peak...  full story to be posted at AO3 in the near future....

When Tyler winces while stretching during warm-ups, Jamie takes notice, however.  

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.  Just a little sore.”  Tyler shrugs off Jamie’s concern.  

“Landeskog?”

“No.”

“Look, you get hurt, or if I ever think there’s the chance someone’s going to hurt either of us, this ends.  No more hunt.”

Tyler give an affirmative shake to the head, “Yes, dear.  But, I’m sure it’s just some muscle ache from practice. Klinger got a little over zealous on that one drill.”  Tyler tapped Jamie’s leg with his stick.  “I love that you worry about me, though.”

Tyler seems okay through warm-ups, so Jamie relaxes.  They do the bro jump and are standing by the glass shooting one-timers to help Bish warm-up.

“Who is the prey tonight?”  Raddy asks, noticing Tyler hasn’t approached any of the Golden Knights during warm-ups. “Fleury?”

“No.”  Tyler answers.

“Smith?”  Klinger asks, standing with them.

“No.”  Jamie answers.

“Oh god, not Neal.  Please not Neal.”  Raddy swears, a stern look of disapproval on his face.

“No, it’s not Neal.”  Tyler laughs. “It’s Engelland.”

“Daddy?”  Pitlick perks up at the mention of Engelland’s name.

“Daddy?”  Raddy looks down at the kid, who’s stretching on the ice.

“Um. Never mind.  It’s just a nickname I’ve heard him called.”  Pits is blushing, though.  He turns away, gets up quickly and skates off.

“Wonder how the kid knows that nickname.”  Raddy laughs.  He turns to Tyler and notices his necklace is hanging out over his collar.  He slaps Tyler on the back.  “Better tuck that in.  Don’t want to lose it.”

Tyler slips a hand out of a glove and reaches up towards his neck.  His fingers find his engagement ring dangling against his sweater, just as Raddy said.  He picks it up, gives it a quick kiss for luck, and tucks it back down inside his shirt.  He looks down the ice, scanning the Vegas players until he finds Engelland.  He stares for a few moments, wondering how Pits called him daddy.  He knew it because Cody, who’d heard about the hunt, called and clued him in on Engelland. But Pits?  Tyler would have to ask Engelland about that.

Three goals in the second period sealed the deal for Dallas.  The win put some pep back in them, and made for a more energetic ride back to the hotel.  Some of the boys were going to hit the casinos again, since they didn’t fly out to Chicago until noon.  They asked Jamie and Tyler to join them, even though they knew the two already had plans.

A phone call from the hotel’s security staff lets them know their visitor has arrived.  They clear Deryk to come up to the room.  A knock on the door a few minutes later signals Deryk’s arrival.

“Daddy’s home.” Deryk says as he walks in.  “Congrats on a good game tonight, boys.”

“Thank you.”  Tyler grins.

“So, uh, since you won, Tyler’s ass is ours, Jamie?”  Deryk takes off his jacket and tosses it on a chair.  “Do you want to call the shots, or do you want me to?”

Jamie glances at Tyler, who’s so intent on the fact that he’s going to get fucked, that he doesn’t seem to care.  Jamie voices his concerns, however.

“Landeskog was, um, a little rough on Tyler I thought.  Even though I really enjoyed him being in charge, I’m not sure I want to give up total control.”

“I’ve heard Gabe’s a bit of a sadist at times.”  Deryk nods slowly.  “I’m not like that.  I assure you.”

“Pitlick called you daddy, and Cody, uh, Eaks, he said you go by that nickname.” Tyler asked.  “He said it wasn’t because you were one of the old guys.  Is that, uh, is that true?”

“Yep.”  Deryk smiles. “It’s got nothing to do with age.”

Im not sure if this applies to the events in your sprunki interpretation but im curious, if things where the get "better" (as better as they can get at least) after the horror mode, how different would things be? ((for example, how would oren and pinki's relationship change? what about simon, durple and the other corrupted sprunkis? would they be distrusted?, etc))

i do want to do an aftermath thing since not only is coming up with how they'd be affected after the situation fun, but also the creator has confirmed that the sprunkis could be saved, meaning it's not too out of the realm of possibilities. alot of liberties would have to be taken ofc, but that's what you expect when it comes to dead bodies being reanimated lmao. also i am working on a different au with a friend with a similar but different premise, so i wanna make it different atleast so that i'm not just making two of the same aus lmao.

but anyway as for your question; VERY different. nobody is going to easily forget what happened. except maybe brud but. it's brud lmao. i've already explained that the "dead" will always remain undead, and as such they're not going to die naturally, or require substance anymore (albeit they do still feel starvation and such so it'd be REALLY uncomfortable if they don't do it). certain injuries will also be insanely difficult to fix, namely the brain injuries, but it's still better to treat the injuries or else they're gonna be constantly in pain. they still gotta deal with the ghost pains, but atleast it'd be manageable.

most of the problems are mental, anyway. pretty much everyone has a bit of trauma, so lemme see if i can give a quick rundown on the guys to give y'all an idea.

-oren still constantly dissociates and struggles with derealization, most of which pinki tries to help him thru. he regains a bit of his sight but would technically need glasses, which he hasn't put effort into getting. his memories are still incredibly messed up, so he doesn't immediately respond to his name and such. pinki does still help him thru it, and they're still a couple, despite oren not always recognizing pinki.

-clukr lost half of his brain so he mostly sits and relaxes afterwards, rather than work on building things. he also struggles with remembering things, but atleast he doesn't remember the horror mode stuff? mostly? it's just kinda a mess tbh, but atleast he has his kids.

-thankfully fun bot doesn't have too much trauma due to being a robot lmao. he is kinda shaken up about it all but not horrifically traumatized and can still function pretty fine. he just worries about his dads alot.

-raddy requires a wheelchair and struggles with breathing due to the damage on his throat, but has mostly just. mellowed out? he isn't as quick to bully or explode on people. in reality it's becuz of the self loathing he's experiencing now but still.

-vineria is shaken by the situation but mostly tries to ignore it to focus on OWAKCX, since obviously he's ALOT more shaken up. still, she does get rather nervous around plants now.

-gray pretty much isolates now, he doesn't trust anybody and has gotten rather agoraphobic.

-brud is. mostly the same as when it started. nobody can tell if he's just good at hiding his issues, or he's just genuinely fine.

-garnold may or may not have ditched the metal suit after everything. the thing just reminds him of what he did and ofc his death. he mostly isolates and spends his time watching over clukr, trying to ignore what all happened.

-OWAKCX is.. man. let's just say his problems have gotten WAY worst, and basically nobody except for vineria can get near him anymore.

-sky developed anxiety, paranoia, and nightmares over the whole thing, and does tend to regress to deal with the trauma. thankfully everyone looks after him now.

-mr. sun just kinda. stays in the sky and talks to the sprunkis less often now.

-i'm unsure how much durple and the others would recover mentally atp, but i think durple especially would regret his actions immensely, and be insanely awkward around the others. he mostly isolates, however some people (namely pinki) do try to check on him every now and then.

-mr. tree is still dealing physically and so constantly appears sickly and tired. he tries to talk with the sprunkis still, but it's extremely draining for him at times.

-gosh, simon. uhm, considering he wasn't even mentally aware of what was happening during the horror mode, this could go two ways. either he finds out, and it breaks him instantly, or he's still. not fully there. either way it's not good. i think most people would be scared to be near him mostly due to his behavior still being concerning, while others do try to look after him. mostly jevin.

-tunner ain't gonna get better, sorry gamers. he just. definitely has pretty severe brain damage. so they don't exactly have a sheriff anymore, not like it helped to begin with tho. anyway he's no longer independent, and requires help. he's one of the ones still not fully there anymore.

-due to also being a computer, mr. fun computer recovers mostly fine afterwards, and mostly has a childish view of the whole situation (ex. it being a nightmare).

-..wenda just isn't going to take it well, what she did, no matter how you look at it. i think she's one of the ones needed extensive mental health care, and everyone would still be fearful to be near her. jevin may be the only one, due to him understanding where she was coming from, but that's about it.

-despite her self esteem taking a major hit, pinki's just insanely thankful to have her bf again, in some way. that's the part that keeps her going.

-while being one of the least affected physically, jevin does still deal with the guilt of what happened, and indirectly shows it by caring for some of the less unfortunate, namely tunner and simon. since tunner can't help people anymore, jevin decides to take that role for him. it's the least he can do.

Campaign To Save Kolkata's Book Street, Wrecked By Flooding

https://liveindiatimes.com/campaign-to-save-kolkatas-book-street-wrecked-by-flooding/

Kolkata’s College Street is a go-to joint for students looking for affordable books.

Kolkata:

Cyclone Amphan has hit Kolkata where it hurts. It has brought the city’s iconic College Street to its knees. Hundreds of tiny book stalls that line both the street were flooded on Wednesday night and books, wet and soaking, have been reduced to raddi or waste. Students and alumni of the iconic street’s premier institutions – Presidency and Calcutta University to name few – have started a global campaign for funds to save “boi para” or Kolkata’s book street.

“The damage to College Street is huge,” said Suvojit Sarkar, a former student of history at Presidency University who is now associated with the CPM student front SFI. “No politics in this. We are appealing all book lovers, all college street lovers to contribute to save it. Without books, without college street, we cannot survive in Kolkata. Kolkata’s history and heritage are all about College Street.”

“Not charity. We want to show our solidarity with the small book stall owners of College Street and have appealed through social media to alumni worldwide for help,” said Ahan Karmakar, a third year economics student at Presidency University. He is part of an organisation called Quarantine Students — Youth Network or QSYN that is campaigning for funds for College Street.

Six days after Cyclone Amphan, the sight on College Street is heart-breaking. Books on science, philosophy, medicine, the arts all soaking wet have been put out to dry on the road in front of the iconic Coffee House and Presidency University. In fact all along the half kilometre stretch and in the multiple narrow lanes that lead off it.

Cyclone Amphan drowned this street in three to four feet of water for hours. The day after, stall owners saw the street had turned into a river of floating books.

Aslam Hussain, who has been working at his family book stall just opposite Coffee House for the last 45 years, shakes out a sodden physics book and says, “Raddi. These books have been all reduced to waste. We are throwing them out. The raddi walas are taking them away. All we are getting is 1 or 2 rupees a kilo.”

“We had to throw away wet books by the van load,” said Ranjan Dutta who is a book stall owner and the head of a union of about 100 book stalls on College Street. Some surveys put the number of book stalls on the street at over 2,000.

“90 per cent stalls have not even opened. When owners come and check their damage, only then will we know the extent of our total losses,” he added.

For the book stall owners who really know their books well and can hold forth on Tagore and the latest question bank for CBSE exams with equal ease, it is also a matter of livelihood. They have been making a living for generations selling books from their stalls, rare books, exam guides and second hand tomes.

For hundreds of students who flock College Street on a regular basis, the biggest draw is the second hand books.

Ahan Karmakar said, “As students, we cannot afford brand new books. So we reach out to the people who sell second hand books on College Street. And that’s how we finance our education. I know I couldn’t have completed some courses if these book stall owners had not pulled out some second hand books for me. At a time like this, I think we just have to show solidarity with them.”

To do that, Ahan and several other students from Presidency and Calcutta University have come together to campaign for funds for College Street. They were already running an outfit called Quarantine Students – Youth Network or QSYN to help people in trouble because of the Covid19 lockdown. They are now using the platform to raise funds from alumni across the world for “Boi Para” or the book street.

It is QSYN that surveyed the book stalls for the last three-four days and put the number of stalls down to 2050, including those who only sell on the pavement but excluding big publishers who have outlets on the street too.

“The big shops will survive somehow, we think,” said Ahan Karmakar. “It is the small ones who need our assistance.”

Donors have been generous. In less than five days, more than Rs 75,000 have poured into QSYN bank accounts, details of which are shared on their Facebook page. And donations have come from across the world.

Swagata, a student at Calcutta University, says, “The street is my family, my life. Those who know the street know the gems they hold. We cannot afford to lose that.” He is also spearheading QSYN’s global campaign for funds. There are concerns about how to help the stall owners – should they be given a one-time grant or a loan or should their power bills be paid off for a couple of months – so along with money, QSYN is also campaigning for ideas.

The Booksellers and Publishers Guild that hosts the annual Kolkata Book Fair will write to the prime minister and the chief minister to save this heritage street of the printed word.

Meanwhile, book stall owners are trying to salvage what Cyclone Amphan has left behind. They are drying the wet books under the sun. Some terribly desperate book stall owners could be seen holding up books one by one in front of pedestal fans they have rigged up in front of their washed out shops. They have an uphill task getting College Street back to its original splendour.
