⚠️Some small spoilers ahead!⚠️

We'll pretend that The Punisher didn't die in the void, and in your timeline you were married to Frank, and he was the one to die with your kids, and you became The Punisher.

Ignoring the blood on the seat, (Y/n) lounged in the far back seat of the Honda Odyssey. "You two are ridiculous, you know that right?" She asked the men who'd just finished their little pissing contest of a fight. "Mhh hufp eh." Wade tried speaking, but the seatbelt secured tightly around his mouth prevented actual words. "No I will not be unbuckling you. I want to get some rest, and I can't do that if you idiots keep fighting. So shut up and go to sleep." (Y/n) sassed her best friend, ignoring Logan when he chuckled dryly. "If I didn't know you'd survive it, I'd have shot you both myself." She added with a huff, closing her eyes in an attempt to sleep. "You're welcome to try sweetheart." Logan mused, a faint grin stretched across his lips. "I'll save my bullets thank you." She sassed, smirking when she heard Wade giggle. "My son's were better behaved than you two." She added in a soft tone, upon hearing her admission Logan cracked open an eye, glancing over at Wade who'd gone uncharacteristically quiet. "Were?" He asked without much thought, unaware of the story behind The Punisher. He opened his eyes further when Wade writhed in an attempt to free himself, grunting and huffing about something. "Another time Wolvie, another time." (Y/n) muttered, regretting having brought it up in the first place.

Wade ceased his struggle, but still muttered to himself. And the more Logan thought on it, the more he realized that something bad must have happened. Something Wade clearly knew all about, considering how hard he had been trying to free himself. "I'm sorry." Logan muttered quietly, hoping she heard him. "You didn't know." She responded, as her arms crossed over the white skull painted across her black body armor. "I shouldn't have said anything in the first place." She added while sleep clawed at her tired mind. Logan hummed in his throat, closing his eyes once more as he relaxed into the reclined seat. "How many did you have?" Logan asked without thought, again making Wade struggle against the seatbelts. "Curiosity killed the cat you know." (Y/n) said as she cracked open her eyes, looking to the older man dressed in yellow. "I'm sorry... I just..." He struggled to find the words, unsure of why he was so adamant in asking questions. "I had two sons." She told him, leaning forward to rest her hand against Wades shoulder, to calm his frantic movement. "I was in the special forces, then I was an FBI agent, and I made a lot of enemies in both lines of work." She sighed softly, locking eyes with Logan when he turned to look at her. "During my last mission things went south, and a young man that shouldn't have been there got killed."

She leaned her elbows on her knees, swallowing the knot in her throat. "His parents were the leaders of this big criminal syndicate, and they wanted payback for the death of their son." She leaned back in her seat. "Their men killed my entire family, during a big family reunion in Puerto Rico. They run my husband and sons down with their truck like animals. Then they tried killing me, shooting me in the chest, and then they blew up the pier, while I lay at the end bleeding out." She exhaled through her nose heavily. "'Bout five months later I hunted them all down one by one, and I saved the father for last, made him kill his best friend and his own wife even. That was all three years ago. I met Wade not long after I finished the job, he actually convinced me not to kill myself." She chuckled bitterly, with a roll of her eyes. "And now look at us, lost in the asshole of the universe." She mused sarcastically, making herself comfortable in her seat again. Wade tried wiggling free again, seemingly determined to comfort his best friend. "Don't worry 'bout me bud, I'm alright." (Y/n) said in a comforting tone, smiling softly when he relaxed again. "Now that's enough story time, go to sleep." She instructed like a mother would, making Logan chuckle with a smile. "You're one tough woman." He said as he relaxed once more.

When the car jolted with movement, (Y/n)'s eyes snapped open. With a quick glance, she noted that Wade and Logan were still passed out. Looking to the drivers seat she saw a girl with dark hair driving the car. The sound of the safety clicking off of (Y/n)'s pistol caught the girls attention, and she locked eyes with (Y/n) through the rearview mirror. "Who are you?" The Punisher asked, unsurprised that Wade and Logan still slept soundly. "A friend." Was all the girl said, and (Y/n) hummed as she clicked the safety back in place. "Hope for your sake, you're tellin' the truth." Was all she said as she holstered her pistol, relaxing into her seat she could tell that they were headed in the right direction. "You're a Punisher?" The girl asked, glancing in the rearview before focusing on the path ahead. "I am." (Y/n) clicked her tongue, unsurprised that there was most likely more Punishers within the Void. Especially considering the way Nova had spoken to her the day prior, as if she'd met her before and considered her a traitor. "There's one at our safehouse." The girl told her as they crest a hill, pointing to an inconspicuous place on the horizon. "He's quiet." She added, and the older woman moved to sit in the passenger seat, careful not to bother the guys as they slept.

"If he's anything like me, he's been through a lot." She said brushing away the broken glass before sitting down. "We all have." The girl said, glancing to (Y/n) who nodded her head in agreement. "I suppose you're right." She glanced back at the guy's. "My names Laura." The girl introduced as she put the car into park. "(Y/n)." She nodded her head, and shifted in her seat when the young girl got out of the beat up car, leaving her behind with the guys who still slept soundly in the back. Sighing under her breath she moved to the back, and pulled her combat knife from the sheath strapped to her thigh. With little effort she cut away the straps keeping Wade pinned to the seat, once he was free she simply slapped him across the face. "Daddy?" Wade muttered as he sat up, shaking his head to shake off the sleep. "Not quite." (Y/n) chuckled before testing her luck and slapping Logan as well. The older man snapped awake with an angry growl, his claws extending from the hand closest to her, and he blindly tried swiping at her assuming it was Wade. (Y/n) however dodged the attack with swiftness, smiling at him when he realized who she was. "You'll have to try harder next time." She mused before pulling the sliding door open, letting herself out. "I thought you were Wade." Logan admitted, as he followed her out, feeling bad that he could have seriously hurt her. "I knew what I was doing." She shrugged before cracking her neck.

"Hey that's just hurtful." Wade cut in as he climbed out of the car, glaring at Logan who scoffed at him. "Where the hell are we?" Logan asked as he observed a door leading to a stairway. "Let's find out." (Y/n) mused as she took the lead, followed closely by Wade who was complaining about a stiff neck. "Hey how exactly did we get here?" Wade suddenly asked as they entered a large room, where people were clearly living. "A friend." Was all (Y/n) said, while she observed the trinkets lying around. "Bullshit." Logan muttered, beelining across the room when he noticed a bottle of liquor. "A friend?" Wade questioned with a small tilt of his head. "Patience bud." (Y/n) mused with a faint grin, noting the sound of approaching footsteps from the stairway. "You know I think that's what I like best about you both." Wade pointed to (Y/n). "You always call me bud." He then pointed to Logan. "And you call everyone bub." He then placed his hands on his hips. "It's cute." He added making both Logan and (Y/n) roll their eyes. Before Logan could make a remark, several people made their entrance, and with each person Wade became increasingly excited. Apparently he knew something neither (Y/n) or Logan knew. But when the fourth person descended the stairs coming into view, (Y/n) dropped the glass jar she'd been holding.

Logan glanced at her, and Wade gasped in shock. "No way." He rushed to his best friends side, latching onto her arm like an excited kid. "(Y/n)?" The man breathed out, looking just as stunned as she did. Logan glanced between them, noting the matching gear and decorative skulls. "Frank." She whispered his name, the both of them rushing across the room immediately after to embrace. "How are you here? Alive?" Frank asked as he pulled away from the embrace, to hold her face between his hands. "I could ask you the same thing." She breathed out, her eyes glossy and her throat tightening. Without another word he pulled her into a kiss, both of them pouring their heart and souls into the kiss as if it were their last. "Okay the kids are watching." Wade called out just as Frank's hands drifted down (Y/n)'s back, and when he realized what he'd said he winced as if he'd been stabbed. "Who's he?" Frank asked as they parted again. "A friend. He's kept me sane after..." She said as her hands drifted down his chest to trace the iconic skull. "You're not really her are you?" He asked as he brushed his thumb across her jaw. "And you're not really him." She muttered as she leaned into his touch. "What happened to you?" Frank asked. "Same thing that happened to you by the looks of it." (Y/n) placed her hand over his heart.

"(Y/n)." Wade called out her name softly, drawing the attention of both Punishers to him. "Right." She sighed softly. "We need your help." She looked back to her husband, then to the others that stood on the other side of the room. "All of your help actually." She said as she pulled away from Frank, who was reluctant on letting her go. "Our universe is dying." She explained, only to get cut off by Blade. "I don't give a shit about your universe." He retorted, and Frank glared at him. "Some heroes you all are." She shot back with a scowl. "Whether you care or not, billions of people are going to die needlessly, and there's a chance you can help change that." She looked to Frank, taking a small step back she held her arms out. "I'm no hero, I'm a killer. It's all I've ever been, and it's all I'll ever be. But when someone threatens to kill off my entire universe, I will die trying to stop them. Not for myself, but for them. All of them, the ones that can't defend themselves, the ones that need a goddamn hero, and the ones who will never know of the sacrifices made to keep them safe." (Y/n) looked back to Wade, dropping her arms back to her sides. "I have nothing left to fight for in my universe, but I am still willing to try saving it for those who do." She then looked back to the others. "And if you all would rather sit here and rot away in the asshole of all the universes that's fine." She looked between each of them.

"But I refuse to just sit back and claim it's not my problem, so I'll go back out there. And I'll probably die trying my damnedest to get Wade and Logan passed Nova, but I will die doing what's right, and I will die knowing that I at least tried to do the right thing." (Y/n) said as she took another small step back, and then turned to Wade. "Cap would be jealous." Wade joked, trying to lighten the mood. (Y/n) simply rolled her eyes at her friend despite the small smile on her face. "No I'm serious, I've got tears." He said as he pointed to his masked face. "I'm going with you." Frank said as he moved closer to his wife. "I couldn't save the version of you in my universe, but if there's a chance I can protect you, to save you." He took her face between his hands again. "I'll do whatever it takes." He promised before resting his forehead against her own. "I like her." Gambit said, with a nod of his head. "I'm in." He concluded as he flipped a card between his fingers. "Yeah okay, I'm in too." Elektra agreed as she rest her hands on her hips. "Fuck it anything is better than sitting around in this shithole, I'm in." Blade said as he messed with one of his knives.

"Who knew you were so good at speeches." Wade said with a giggle, yanking (Y/n) away from Frank in his excitement, so he could jump around with her in his arms. "You're all gonna fucking die." Logan said before taking another swig of the liquor he'd been nursing. "Maybe, but atleast we'll have died fighting for something." (Y/n) retorted as she shrugged Wade off. "I'm coming as well." A fifth voice called out, as she entered from another room. Wade gasped in surprise, looking to Logan as he pointed to the girl. "That's X-23." He told him, but Logan didn't seem to care much. "Her names Laura." (Y/n) corrected Wade, who did a dramatic double take. "You know her?" He asked with a small tilt of his head. "She's a friend." (Y/n) told him with a faint grin, holding back a laugh when Wade shouted with excitement. "I don't know how you put up with him." Frank muttered. "He takes some getting used to, but he kinda just grows on you after a while." She said as she smiled to her husband. "Look I know you're not the Frank from my universe, but I just..." Her smile faded. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, and our boys." Her eyes drifted to the floor, the pair of them oblivious to what was going on around them. "Hey hey look at me." He encouraged as he tilted her head up. "I know you tried your hardest, he knows that you tried your hardest. Don't ever forget that." He kissed her forehead, before pulling her into his arms, her head tucked under his chin. "Thank you." She whispered softly, trying to ignore the tears welling in her eyes.

Tumblr Classic Literature Part 2! Idk what I'm gonna do with this, I might make it into a bracket competition though???

(Time frame is 1800-1960 ish because if I did more than that it would be like a billion books)

[bc-johnson]

I am once again suggesting Tom Jane as Roland of Gilead. He's already got the costume.

[saints-who-never-existed]

Episode Four: Random Rewatch Observations

1. Shout out to Sophia and Lady Jane, sticking it to Barrow re: Arctic geography, how far the Admiralty’s messages have reached, and his general condescension.

2. Their breath is visible in the air as they’re leaving the Admiralty building and talking specifically about Sir John. 

3. Jopson is hilarious even before his little innocent “Me, sir?” line when he first enters the scene saying “Sorry to interrupt!”. Like, yes, sorry to interrupt your busy schedule of sitting in the dark doing literally nothing, sir! Great stuff.

4. Also shout out to Little being very competent off-screen, already making plans to move Terrors over to Erebus before Crozier’s even thought about it.

5. Love Crozier just pissing directly in front of Jopson too – another obvious thing but it just makes me laugh.

6. I think I spy Little doing his patented Awkward Shoulder Pat of Comfort to someone as they all troop back onto the ship. He’s not in his slops a few moments later so it seems likely that it’s him and that he stayed behind to hold down the fort while they were out searching.

7. Another thing that’s been pointed out by others, but I love MacDonald’s annoyed table tapping – he’s so not in the mood.

8.  “Look out for yourself.” “Oh, I will…”

Like, oh I bet you will, Hickey, sweetheart…

9. Just a thought but Hickey’s “Who’s that?!” when he finds Strong/Evans on watch strikes me as unique. I don’t know if they had specific phrases or codes to challenge and identify each other when on watch but all I’m saying is that it would make sense if they did and it would make sense for that to be another thing Hickey doesn’t know.

10. Extra-gruesome to note that the legs and the torso appear to be facing opposite directions.

11. How do we all feel about Hickey’s whole spiel in front of the Captains, and the fact that Manson and Hartnell stay completely silent throughout it? Do we think he’s outright lying or what? The idea of them interrupting Silna in her attempt to take control of Tuunbaq isn’t completely outlandish in and of itself, after all – she tries to do just that two episodes later - and surely if he’s just making it up completely then the other two would challenge that to try and save their own skins?

12. Also have to laugh at Goodsir’s helpful “Food…!” when he takes Silna some ‘dinner’. Like, I think she realises it’s food, Harry, she just thinks it’s bloody horrible (which it is!).

13. I am absolutely obsessed with how puffy they both look here. Look at their little sticky-out tum-tums! Silly little Weeble men.

saying something about every hatchetfield production

spoilers, some nonsense, zero consistency with what I talk about, hurriedly written text, and back Cinderella’s Castle, QUICKLY, the kickstarter ends on May 4th. Also I mostly won’t be talking about the message to take away from all of them because I plan to make that another post.

TGWDLM: the catalyst of it all, it set up many fan favorite characters. Also my personal interpretation is that the musical we watch is actually happening in canon and is being put on by Pokky/Paul. Also how much of someone’s personality remain after infection?

Black Friday: it does pretty good as our first (true) intro to the LiBs it works very well. We get more General Macnmara who quickly becomes one of my favs. It also adds a lot of my other favs to the Hatchetverse, Hanna, Lex, Ethan, and Tom

NPMD: probably my favorite of the mainline musicals. I really hate Dirty Girl tho. The musical version of Hatchet Town is better than the OST version. The characters all have really good chemistry. I love Grace as a warning about the consequences of using religion as a fear tactic, when she sinned and wasn’t instantly punished for it she decided to take matters into her own hands and became a bloodthirsty maniac. The fact we got so close to a good ending if Max hadn’t fallen is darkly funny.

Hatchetfield Apeman: I don’t know how to feel about this one, it’s an interesting story but I think shouldn’t have been the first nightmare time story as it set a bad precedent for a lot of people.

Watcher World: I FUCKING LOVE WATCHER WORLD. The horror buildup of “what the fuck is happening here?” was genuinely amazing. The idea of a paranormal amusement part made for the amusement of an elder god id so cool. I feel uncomfortable saying the work “Sniglet”

Forever and always: one of my favs, the mystery of the two Emma’s is amazing, and the twist of which Emma Paul chose is amazing. It does make me wonder tho, is Emma a robot in every timeline? Also im just gonna assume that Tinky is connected to this one.

Time Bastered: another of my favs, the way it connects with FaA and the very clever time travel writing were highlights. The Ted is The Homeless Guy twist is really clever, and the ending is tragic

Jane’s a Car: holy shit my opinions on this one is so mixed. I love the bonding of Becky, Tom, and Tim is so wholesome. I REALLY hate that scene. Also is Jane turned into a car in every universe?

The Witch in the Web: our true into too Webby. Massive lore dumbs sort of weighted it down for me but it was still good.

Honey Queen: god I love this one. The fact that the LiBs aren’t mentioned until the very end was a really good choice. Both Zoey and Linda going to any length to win was some great tension.

Perky’s Buds: I went into this one expecting it to be kinda mid, and I was right but it was on the high end of mid. Ziggy being NB and played by a real NB actor is great! The bird hive mind is genuinely kinda unnerving despite how cute they are. I personally think they should have died, then content on the rooftop with the fire would have been such a good ending, but the police showing up to arrest them packs less of a punch.

Abstinence Camp: again, one of my favs, I fucking love this one and it also has the best Nightmare Timr song. It’s a fun way of exploring the “if you have sex in a horror movie you die” trope. Grace once again gets some sort of power and abuses it.

Daddy: I have mixed feelings, it’s a genuinely interesting plot but it get pretty uncomfortable. The song at the start made me think it would be a more empathetic take on Sherman Young but it definitely fucking wasn’t.

Killer Track: what is there to say? Killer track is actually so fucking amazing, if you will watch anything from this list watch this. I’m saying nothing else

Yellow Jacket: not at all what I was expecting, but it was great! From what I heard I was sort of expecting a high school drama with Pokky doing his bullshit in the background, but I loved this too. Also the ending hurt me.

Workin’ Boys: Pokky strikes again, but I’m not sure why TBH. Motherfucker just decided to fuck with his one most loyal subject and for what?

[karenchasity]

i'll bite, uhh...

anything you got about the chasitys in i curse the day? (can be any of 'em, grace, karen, or mark)

YES!!!!! grace is actually a main character next to steph and pete!!!! i post about her a lot though, so we'll tak abt mark and karen :3

mark and karen are the second and third adults that find out about.... everything happening. and they arent pleased. theyre distaught, actually. horrified. it rocks their entire world to see their daughter blink at them so much. and in the grieving process, they end up pushing grace away from them out of fear. they love her, adore her even, but they arent ready to face her yet.

she moves in with pete and ted. this is all the more upsetting to mark and karen, who've now physically and bodily lost their daughter. they feel helpless. weak. they're both scared this is gods punishment upon them for not being proper christians. they scared its a punishment for something grace did. theyre scared for her. terrified.

they come to terms with it eventually. they speak with ted, who points them to hidgens, and that helps. it shakes their trust in their god, just as it did to grace, but they wind up okay. they're huge supporters of grace and pete while steph is in the black <3

they also hugely support lautskity and the fosters post-black. karen cooks homemade meals while lex, hannah and steph recover, and mark keeps an eye on their health when ted cant. the three of them, plus tom and jane, are the main reason that the girls survive their trip.

sorry i yapped </3 i love the chasitys and theyre very important to how ictd ends

One of the main themes of Mansfield Park is the destructive force and injustice of the inheritance system.

Mary mourns that both Sir Thomas's and Mr. Rushworth's wealth have fallen/will fall into unworthy hands when perhaps they should have gone to Edmund. But if they went to Edmund, wouldn't he have been just as ruined and therefore unworthy of her affection? He is the only child of the Bertrams who has to struggle to endure (kind of, the living system is pretty BS too). Henry, upon hearing about things that William Price has already done, is jealous. He has been educated and sent out in the world to do nothing. He reminds himself that it's better to be wealthy and idle, but it isn't. Henry satisfies himself with playing with emotions, Tom gambles, neither are healthy people. They are victims of the system as much as Edmund.

Jane Austen, throughout her works, values wealthy men who invest real time and effort into their estates. Knightley, perhaps the most shining example, is a magistrate, takes keen interest in his tenants, cares for the poor, and attends parish meetings. He could be Tom or Henry, but he chooses the better path. That however, is hard and rare and there is little punishment for not doing it.

The women are destroyed by this system as well. Lady Middleton (Sense & Sensibility), despite loving music and being proficient, gives it up once it has granted her the gift of marriage to a wealthy man. Maria says she will only learn to 17, why do anything after you do your job and marry wealthy? Lady Bertram, who ought to visit and attend to the poor of the estate, instead makes things of no beauty. Everyone's potential is squandered.

Look how much effort Tom can put into a play! Look how intelligent Henry is! Rushworth has tons of money! And yet, instead of doing anything to better society, they talk about making elaborate gardens and putting on plays for no audience. I don't see anyone in Mansfield Park as a true villain, all of them are victims of a system that twists them into the worst versions of themselves. Fanny, Edmund, and William, all without massive inheritances, are the only people who have escaped the corruption.

Short story # 20

Gif NOT mine.

Summary - With the universe saved and everything set right, (Y/n) sits within her apartment alone, thinking about the man she had to leave behind in the Void. Her heart aching as if she'd lost him all over again, she drank her sorrows away. While Wade schemed to make things right for his best friend.

Year posted - 2024

Rating - SFW (There is several moments where attempted suicide is mentioned.)

Reading time (roughly) - 14 minutes

"What are you doin' kid?" Logan asked when he and Wade barged into her apartment, which was just across the hall from theirs and Al's. "What's it look like." She hummed before tipping the bottle back, drinking the amber liquid within. "You look like yer waistin yer life." Logan said before taking the bottle from her to drink from it himself. "Gotta have a life to waste it." She shot back, glaring at Wade, who was collecting her stash without a word. "Can I fuckin help you Wilson?" She hissed at the merc. "Nah I've got it sweetcheeks." He flashed her a smile, ignoring the way she glowered at him. "Why are you taking my shit?" She huffed, before snatching her bottle back from Logan. "Because you aren't going to be drinking yourself to death, not while I'm around." He sassed as he stuffed the assorted bottles into a hello kitty book bag. "While we are around." Logan added as he snatched back the bottle from her. "I lost him again okay... I can't... I can't fucking stand it." (Y/n) said getting choked up. She stood up from her chair, she crossed the room and snatched Wade up off the floor. "I can't fucking breathe, I can't eat, I can't sleep. I had him right there, in my fucking arms, and I had to leave him behind, like he wasn't my heart and soul." Tears spilled from her eyes, her voice wavering, she let go of her friend.

"You got your happiness, and I'm grateful for that. But I had to loose the love of my life twice now, and I don't think I can take any more heartbreak." She stepped back, sitting onto the coffee table, she looked to Logan. Who against his better judgement, passed her the half drank bottle. "I can fix this." Wade said as he slung the bag over his shoulder, determination on his face. "You can't fix everything bud." She hummed before drinking from her bottle. "But I can fix this, I promise you (Y/n), I'll get you your happiness, if it's the last thing I do." Wade said as he walked towards the door, pointing a finger at Logan, who leaned against the nearby wall. "Stay with her." He instructed before lowering his voice. "And keep her away from her weapons." Logan nodded in agreement, while (Y/n) simply rolled her eyes as she lay back on the table. "You're one to talk." She muttered. "I can regenerate, you can't! And I'm not losing my best friend." Wade huffed at her, before storming out of her apartment, the door slamming shut behind him. "He's a good friend." Logan muttered quietly, sitting down on her couch with a soft groan. "He's a fool." She huffed. "I won't argue with that." Logan said with amusement.

"But if anyone is crazy enough to bring someone back from the dead... Again... It's Wade." Logan added casually. "The TVA will only put up with so much of Wades bullshit. They sent Frank back to his universe where he belongs, and that's that." (Y/n) said as she stared at a random point on her ceiling. "Maybe but he is annoyingly persistent, and he cares a lot about you bub. Hell he hasn't shut up once about helping you after everything was said and done." Logan said with a small shake of his head. "It was honestly getting really fucking annoying." He added, smiling faintly when (Y/n) laughed. "Sounds like Wade." She mused, her smile fading as her mind wandered to Frank. "You know he's probably going through the same thing as I am, except he doesn't have Wade keeping his head on straight." She stood up and crossed the room, pulling out the last picture she had of her Frank from a nearby desk drawer. "Losing someone hurts bad enough, but to loose them twice... Something like that will take a heavy toll on someone." She sat aside the liquor bottle. "We're only human after all." She said with a soft chuckle, she glanced to Logan, who seemed to understand exactly where she was coming from. "You haven't tried doing yourself in just yet, I'm sure he hasn't gone that far either. Probably just drinking his days away like you've been doing." Logan said, as he lounged back comfortably. "I hope for his sake, you're right." (Y/n) sighed, crossing the room and flopping down beside him.

Hours passed by and after an insane amount of nagging, Wade had convinced B-15 to let him travel to Frank Castles universe, and try to convince the man to come to his universe instead. This Punisher wasn't an anchor character, and so it made it a bit easier to convince her. When he stepped through the portal, Wade found himself standing in a hallway of a dismissal looking apartment building. The masked merc looked at the door nearest to him, and shrugged, before kicking the door open, the junk door breaking off its hinges and falling onto the floor. Inside were two men, a skinny blond with facial piercings, and a heavy set brunette. Who both screamed in surprise at the sudden intrusion. "Sorry to just barge in, I'm looking for The Punisher. Big scary guy, with dark hair, and an attitude like that of an angry honey badger." Wade held up a crude drawing he'd made earlier on, but the guys just looked at him like he was crazy. "Look I'm best friends with his wife, and I'm trying to reunite the two." He added as he tucked away the drawing, pulling out a picture of (Y/n) to show them. "His wife's dead." The blond pointed out, making Wade sigh with a shake of his head. "I am aware of that. Look I don't have time to explain, do you know where I can find him?" Wade asked but they remained quiet, making Wade groan loudly in frustration. "Okay fine." He huffed before pulling out one of his newly acquired gold-plated Desert Eagle Mark XIX 50AS, and pointing it directly at the brunette who whimpered in fear.

"Tell me where I can find him, or so help me-" Before he could finish his threat, he was curtly cut off. "Wilson?" Frank stood in the doorway, staring at the merc with confusion. "Fucking finally!" Wade put away his pistol, and turned his full attention to The Punisher. "You need to come with me." Wade said, stepping across the broken door, towards Frank. "Why the hell would I do that?" He asked before walking to his own apartment, Wade following after him like a puppy. "(Y/n)'s trying to kill herself." Was all he needed to say to get Frank to freeze in his tracks. "What?" He turned to Wade, who pulled his mask off to emphasize his point. "She's going to drink herself to death... I've got Logan keeping her away from any and all weapons... But she's creative." The merc shook his head a little. "Look after seeing you in the Void, she feels like she's lost you all over again... I kept her from killing herself before... But I don't know if I can this time. She's hurting so much worse this time." Wade told him, feeling that if need be, he'd drag Frank back to his universe. "How do we get to your universe?" Frank asked. "It's just a push of a button away." Wade explained as he held up the device temporarily lent to him by the TVA. "Let me pack up a few things." Frank said before barging into his apartment, quickly packing up a bag with clothes and necessities, and another with several of his late father's guns, and plenty of ammo just in case.

"Anyone you need to say goodbye to?" Wade asked as he took hold of one of the bags, his mask back on. "No." Frank said gruffly, grabbing the wrist watch (Y/n) had given him in the Void, a present she had bought for her universes Frank, but never had the chance to give to him. "Let's go." He said to Wade, who smiled giddily behind his mask at the sight of The Punisher, who stood before him all geared up, with his black leather trench coat. "She's gonna be so excited." Wade gushed as he opened the portal that would lead him to his universe. Frank smiled faintly to himself at the thought, while his heart jumped at the realization that in just a few moments he'd be reunited with the love of his life again. Which was something he never thought was possible. They stepped through the portal, and straight into (Y/n)'s living room. Logan reclined on the small loveseat, while (Y/n) lay on the couch. The both of them passed out, with empty liquor bottles littering the coffee table. Frank looked at Wade, who chuckled nervously. "This is so embarrassing, he's got such a weak will when it comes to booze." Wade chuckled. Frank dropped his bag on the floor, and crossed the room, kneeling beside (Y/n) he brushed a bit of her hair out of her face. Prying a half drank bottle of spiced rum from her hand, he kissed her temple gently. Her hand instinctively coming up to push away his face, grumbling softly as she did so.

"Go away Wade." She muttered before turning her head to bury her face into the throw pillow. Frank looked at Wade with a pointed look, the merc pulled his mask off, having dropped the bag. "I promise I've never kissed her!" He held his hands up in surrender. "I may or may not have thought about it once or twice before, but I never did it! I swear on Logan's life!" Wade pointed to Logan, who still lay sound asleep. Frank shook his head, finding it unbelievable that (Y/n) is best friends with him. And while he knew he'd get tired of the mercs antics, he'd put up with him for her sake. "(Y/n) wake up sweetheart." Frank murmured softly, his hand rubbing soothing circles across her back. She instantly recognized his voice, her eyes snapping open, she whipped around to see if it was really him. "Frank." She breathed out in astonishment, before quite literally tackling him in a hug. Frank fell back with a grunt, breaking the wooden coffee table, and sending the empty bottles rolling across the room. "You're here! You're actually here!" (Y/n) gushed in excitement, clearly still feeling the effects of the alcohol. Logan woke up at the sound of the table breaking, and glared at Wade who was trying to gain his attention. "I'm here sweetheart." Frank muttered softly to her, smiling brighter than he has in oh so long. "Let's go home peanut." Wade hissed at Logan, who quietly rose up from the loveseat, as to not bother the two lovebirds. The two of them leaving the apartment without word, leaving the couple to reconnect after being separated for so long.

No disrespect to Jon Bernthal(aside from being pro-cop and pro-zionism) but after seeing leaked pics of Frank in Born Again, I am not looking forward to yet again watching Frank retiring, then finding out a loose connection to his family's murder that inspires him to don the skull again. The MCU and Netflix people DON'T GET Frank Castle.

So this little fancast poll was both just for fun and my little rebellion over the lack of understanding The Punisher

[forensicated]

Information for use in fan fiction and anything else related to The Bill. This will be added to and edited every so often and please feel free to comment if you want to add or edit anything.

Part 1

The Bill is set in the fictional Sun Hill which makes up part of the also fictional Borough Of Canley. It's roughly set around the areas of Whitechapel, Stepney, Shadwell, Spitalfields, Portoken, Limehouse and parts of Aldgate, Bishopsgate, Shoreditch and Mile End. It's also known as the Tower Hamlets area. Mike Dashwood once describes its location as 'Tower Bridge and turn right'. Maps of Sun Hill show the Isle Of Dogs area.

The station address is: Sun Hill Police Station, 2 Sun Hill Road, Canley, London, E1 4KM. The telephone number is 020 7511 1642.

In 1988 Sun Hill (not Canley as a whole, just Sun Hill) was described as being 6 miles long and 2 miles wide.

The caution: I am arresting you on suspicion of (OFFENCE: eg murder or sexual assault). You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say will be given in evidence.

This MUST be said, IN FULL, each time someone is arrested and officers MUST make sure that the person understands it ALL.

FED REPS: Federation Representatives support and advise officers if they've been accused of something or matters like pay, rights, allowances, conduct, equality and development etc. It's often mocked, mostly when Reg is in the position as everyone's favourite busy body, however it is a responsible position and Reg was very good at it if only due to his nitpicking and love of the rule book.

Fed reps: Reg Hollis, Barry Stringer, George Garfield, Nick Klein, Leela Kapoor

Andrew Ross - DCI if I remember rightly he was part of MIT and kept coming over for murders - the Serial Killer/Des's Firebombing/Cathy's murders etc.

Frank Keane - DCI from MIT. Rubbed everyone up the wrong way and thought the sun shone out of his daughter - Emma's - arse.

Karen Lacy - stuck up DI from SO15 who immediately alienated most of Sun Hill after Emma's death by refusing to let her friends in uniform help and would only let them man a cordon and then told Jack that CID could only help if EVERYTHING was run by her and came back to her and her alone.

Tom Baker - TREV which was a fan-coined term that stands for Totally Reliable Extra Veteran'. Tom was an outstanding backup CID member for over a thousand episodes. He's even in the Guinness Book Of World Records for it.

Terry Knowles - Terry was a Special Constable who idolized Des and wanted to be like him. He tried to copy how he'd seen him pick up a woman and flirt at a blonde in a convertible. Unfortunately, it all went wrong when she stabbed him in the neck and severed his jugular and he died, leaving a 2-year-old son fatherless.

Doug Wright - husband of Sgt Nikki Wright. Nikki transferred to Sun Hill when she got fed up with the confusion over two Sgt Wright's and then having to work opposing shifts. He's based at Sun Hill but they cross over to police a football match. Sadly Doug ends up getting stabbed and they realise there's a Cop Killer on the loose after he taunts them and goes on to murder new recruit Billy Rowan on his very first day.

Mark Rollin - Lance Powell's Boyfriend/Fiance/Civil Partner/Husband. Mark is a Sgt in CO19 and keeps his sexuality hidden to avoid the banter and bullying.

It ended with Lance being murdered by a gay serial killer pair.

Rachel Kitson - Crime Scene Photographer who murdered old school friend turned Super Model Cindy Statham. She got away with it and someone else was accused and locked up...but then Jo went back and looked at the footage again as she had a niggling feeling. Rachel realised she was on to her and took her hostage at gunpoint. It was Stuart getting suspicious when he received a text calling him 'hun' and realising that something was very wrong that saved her life with seconds to go.

Important Reoccurring Characters (Civilians):

Rod Jessop - June's second husband after Jim. He is a headteacher and a good man who has 2 children of his own. At first, June isn't too sure as she thinks he's a little too keen but she warms to him and they fall in love and take early retirement together.

Irene Radford - Mother of Karl, Wayne and David Radford, a large crime family with a history going back decades with Gina. She takes Gina hostage at one point and she and David are literally seconds from killing Smithy and Kerry at another point!

Louise Larson - Wife of Pete Larson. Unhappily married but settled until she met Smithy. Feisty, sarcastic and full of one-liners, she kept him on his toes and they wanted to leave after she agreed to give evidence (Pete was arrested after almost murdering Smithy. I'm sensing a theme here).

Abi Nixon - The cause of Sam shrieking "MY DAUGHTER!!!!!" Had a fling with Matt Boyden - as you do. Then ended up pregnant and engaged to Hugh Wallis - a profiler - who manipulated Abi into it as revenge. He forced Sam to think her daughter was a victim of the Serial Killer. She keeps the baby and her relationship with her mother improves.

Cindy Hunter - Phil Hunter's wife who sees all he does on the side and - usually forgives him, even when a major criminal demands he be allowed to sleep with Cindy. Gregory doesn't force her to sleep with him but does take degrading pictures of her to wind Phil up. She still forgives him... but she can't get past finding out he has a daughter with another major criminal's wife when they are trying for a baby of their own and they finally split.

Jenny Delaney - The girlfriend of George Garfield at first, Jenny is the nurse who looks after Dave Quinnan when he is attacked and left for dead in a youth club. She and Dave fall in love and have an affair which ends up in George leaving Sun Hill. They marry but do not get their happily ever after as Dave and Polly grow closer... and closer...

Kristen Shaw - Drug dealer who Zain goes undercover to catch and he ends up falling for her. She accidentally murders Honey by shooting her when the gun goes off in a struggle (Honey was trying to get Zain to do the right thing and arrest her with him). Zain reluctantly puts Honey's body in the water and they try to escape but in the end, he can't go through with it and refuses to get on the boat with her to escape. He removed the bullets from her gun and so both ended up arrested.

James Tennant - The father of Amy Tennant. This storyline goes on forever for over a year and Neil and James get close and become good friends through it before Amy is found.

Scott Burnett - Scott is the husband of a woman who is found murdered. At first his best friend is charged with it and as his FLO, Honey helps support him through it. They fall in love and in a whirlwind romance they get married.... only for Honey to realise that Scott actually murdered his first wife!

Laura Meadows - Jack's long-suffering wife of almost 30 years who put up with a lot, including affairs. It comes to a head when Jack - in full midlife crisis mode - thinks he's in love with Debbie McAllister and wants to support her and her new baby. Debbie thinks of him mostly as a father figure and is horrified when he finally puts the moves on.

Lilian Rickman - Cass' mum is devastated when her daughter is killed by the Sun Hill Serial Killer. She travels down and bonds with the team and later invites them to the funeral in Liverpool which some travel up to and then have to go straight on shift once they get back to London. She later returns to tie up the sale of Cass' flat and she and Tony grow closer and end up sleeping together.

Marie Graham/Carver - The bereaved mother whose daughter killed herself after being accused of sleeping with underage students. She's an alcoholic who seemed to understand Jim and all his problems... and then started to abuse him 2 days after their marriage. (he should have known it was a bad omen when he and June almost kissed the day of the wedding when trapped with Polly and Tony!)He is accused of abusing her before he ends up in the hospital (Gabriel hit him over the back of the head with a vodka bottle - long story) and he cracks under accusations and shows his many wounds. He leaves Marie and goes on to recover and get back together with June... only for Marie to turn up on THEIR wedding day and cause a scene at the reception and then fall down the stairs and knock herself out. Jim, with a sprained ankle, ends up going into hospital too!

Pauline Smith - Smithy's mum seen in Killer On The Run. His father was an abusive drunk who used to knock her and Smithy around until Smithy was old enough to go out with his friends. Smithy has little to do with his unnamed father and next to no contact. Pauline adores her son and is very proud of him. They are close and Smithy has a key to her house. He also had an unnamed little brother as a PC (mentioned in Soft Talking) but this seemed forgotten when he returned as a Sgt.

I think these guys were part of the void resistance. As much as I like Tom Jane's punisher, the war zone one had the rocket launcher, which is why I think it was the war zone one.
