ILY FP 231

ALRIGHTY KIDS WHO’S READY FOR STALKYOO WEEKEND WHO’S READY FOR ME TO TALK NONSTOP ABOUT ILY AND TENSION AND FEELINGS AND EXECUTION AND SUBTEXT I’M RARING TO GO picture me frothing at the mouth rattling the bars of my cage because that’s been me and that WILL remain me!

Look I’m about to choke out 246 different posts but I’m going to do my best to try to keep this one on topic... but we know how I get so uhhhh. Brace yourselves lmao

This episode is just CATNIP for me, and I know I keep saying that but forgive me, everything we’ve been getting in these arcs is jus tailor-made, it’s the stuff I feast on, it’s got me scurrying up walls like a lil lizard chewing on the rafters shrieking like a banshee. I am FED and I am addicted and I WANT MORE!!!!!!!

Nana + Shinae is just unhinged chaos I was completely unprepared for and getting to see them play out more in this episode is a HOOT. I say this with affection, but I am SO GLAD she’s not MY grandma cos WOW I, too, would be so embarrassed. (Actually she reminds me a lot of my mom, pls understand the embarrassment I have endured at her hand!) Shinae and Nana bonding over their mutual dislike for Rand was SO funny - like oh shit wait you don’t like that old geezer OR that witch? Oh you have TASTE (also there’s a subtle little... dig if we want to call it that “Oh I like this one” [eyes]). All the while Nol just sits by watching with that EXPRESSION LMAO

In fact, all of Nol’s expressions are SO funny and SO good! I cannot get over his deeply mortified blushing when Nana called the headband his “comfort headband” and pretty much aired that he was so upset that he was fiddling with it lmao LIKE COME ON (BUT ALSO HER INSINUATIONS? NANA U NASTY FREAK LMAOOOOOOO implying he’d done something unholy with it I SIMPLY CANNOT) His expression as he fucking!!! Throws!!!!! His blanket over her with his lil eye buggin out? PURE COMEDY I LOVE IT

But obviously the meat and potatoes of this episode is the Shinae Nol confrontation - and the elephant in the room. Nol says so much while saying so little - the subtext is off the charts and it’s INSANE to me that they are just.... confessing between the lines lmao

Let me get this out of the way, my favorite point to yell about: Nol cannot resist Shinae. He tries and he always fails. He is so weak in the face of her - and now he finally understands why. She doesn’t seem to realize it, but she manages to elicit truth out of him, she keeps him rooted to the spot. He’ll purposefully distance himself from her - angle away, sit away - but he still ends up angled in towards her, drawn in. She gets to him in a way that, as far as we can tell, no one else can. It’s what made it so difficult for him to actually part with her - why he stumbled and clutched her before he finally snipped the cord, why he had to block her and when she got around that (her message in his spam) he had to drown it out with alcohol. Her gravitational pull on him is so great and he is now aware of it.

I think he did have every intention to talk to her. Maybe he wasn’t going to be as open as we hope. He seemed like he wanted to at least try to clear something up. But his tune completely changed after she brought up Dieter, after she made him realize that Dieter saw it all, that he knew what Nol knows. Ngl I find this simultaneously funny and frustrating because it DOES put them in such a precarious position and Shinae is just SO unaware of it yet!!!!

Nol knows that when it’s just them, things cease to matter. It’s the way he phrases things - like how he talks about when they thought everyone was asleep, because it was that cloak of secrecy that allowed him to be so bold. It was the belief that the whole world was asleep and they were alone in their bubble, no thoughts, nothing else, acting on their whims. He knows he made a move on her, and he knows it was intentional, and it would never have happened if Dieter and Soushi were awake. But that’s the thing about when Nol is alone with Shinae - he seems to forget everything else. She disarms him and he acts on his whims.

The range of his expression is so good here - going from guarded and cautious to the moment he’s putting the dots together and he closes his eyes and screws up his face. Nol isn’t an asshole - he knows what Dieter must be feeling, what it must be like to have witnessed that, to listen in on that. Shinae may not have processed how loaded it was, but Nol can see it easily from Dieter’s perspective.

And here’s the thing about Dieter, too. He’s not a fool, he knows what he’s up against. I don’t mean it in that he’s competing with Nol, really, but we know he compares his relationship with Shinae to other peoples’ relationships with her. We’ve seen him voice his insecurity to Minhyuk - that he doesn’t have with her what Nol does. When he told Shinae she loves Nol, he obviously meant it as a friend, the way he does - but I still think he was voicing a fear that he already had in his heart. Like Nol, though, Dieter isn’t good at resisting Shinae, and he lets his hope build up when he knows better. Dieter knew he was playing with fire.

That doesn’t make it hurt any less, though - to basically have it confirmed almost behind your back. Dieter can see it for what it was - not just the way Nol was acting, the way he looked at her, the way he literally put the moves on her lol but it was the way she received it, the way she flusters under his gaze. It was how she stayed at his side the whole time, how her concern for him outshines her need for sleep or food.

Nol’s guilt is SO strong, it permeates this episode, but I think it’s also very much twisted with his fear. It’s easier to use the guilt, to frame around that, because in his mind he fucks things up all the time, he makes things worse, his existence creates more problems. I love that Shinae calls him out on the fact that it’s not his fault that his plan to get her and Dieter together didn’t work because it’s true. While he’s not wrong to some degree - pushing Dieter and Shinae to be friends does kind of prolong the pain, at the end of the day, they all make their choices. Dieter chose to collect those moments with Shinae knowing they were supposed to be strictly platonic, everything as friends. Shinae still chose to confide in him, to open up, to let him in. Just because Nol pushed the friendship it doesn’t mean they had no agency in the matter.

But obviously the real issue is not that he pushed them, that it draws out the pain for Dieter. It’s that he did all of that and in the end, he was the one who hurt him the most. It wasn’t that Shinae didn’t reciprocate - it was that Nol has feelings, too.

Now, I want to make a point here that I’m sure we’re all on the same page about. No one is really “at fault” here. It’s not like anyone has done anything wrong. Sure we can argue that Shinae has gotten Dieter’s hopes up unintentionally. Sure we can argue that liking someone your friend likes is bad. But human feelings are messy and don’t exist in a vacuum of good vs bad. The whole thing about dibs is so gross in general - it denies someone agency and instead rests on those who like them. Is Nol a bad friend for falling for someone his friend also likes? Is Shinae a bad person for falling for the friend of the guy who likes her? Obviously there are things that need to be cleared up - she needs to sort out her feelings for them, but the point remains. No one is at fault.

But that doesn’t mean Nol won’t feel guilty, won’t feel like an asshole for finding a new way to hurt the people he cares about.

I know this sounds crazy but I kind of lmao like the way he told Shinae she needs to go, that “You can’t be here alone with me any longer.”

Nol has acknowledged his role in this. He acknowledges the way he deliberately hurt Dieter, even though it wasn’t his intention. And what’s more is what he’s not saying - the subtext. That she can’t be alone with him because they will continue to say and do things that will hurt Dieter, that will create more pain. Nol knows how easily Shinae can disarm him if he’s not vigilante. All it takes is her bringing him ease again, him falling back into that comfort, forgetting the rest of the world, acting on it again.

There’s something that feels so urgent about it? Intense? That she NEEDS to go because he doesn’t have the willpower any more. That he’s trying REALLY HARD to be a good person, a good friend, but it’s so difficult. He says it every which way besides with words, and if you read between the lines he’s practically screaming it out loud.

I actually think he’s handling it pretty well, even if it doesn’t clear things up for Shinae in the moment. He’s acting on Dieter’s behalf - but also on his own. And hers. Shinae needs to come to the conclusion he has and it’s not for him to tell her. Part of why it’s so easy for Shinae to let herself feel that way with Dieter is because she knows he likes her. He’s safe and comfortable. Had he never confessed would she think anything of the way he looks at her? Would she think anything of the comfort he brings her? But because she knows, it has affected her view. I don’t say that like it’s a bad thing, because we all respond to people based on how they feel about us, I think. But if Nol were to speak those words out loud, if he were to tell her “it’s because I like you!” how would it make her feel? Would it influence what she thinks about him? Surely it would!

Nol is trying to get Shinae to come to the same realization he has, and more so, he’s trying to get her to be clear about her feelings. Do you like me or not? Do you act this way with everyone? He sees the way she gets flustered, he knows the effect he’s got on her. He’s probably sure she reciprocates those feelings and hasn’t figured it out yet - but there’s still a shadow of a doubt. There’s still the fact that maybe he’s reading into it, maybe he’s seeing something that isn’t there. Maybe she’s someone who cares about him and he’s misread it because he’s so desperate to matter to someone, anyone.

Look we all know better, but we also know how doubts persist!

There’s so much ANGST but it’s SO good! It’s not angst for the sake of angst, it’s not drawing something out just to make the story last. Nol’s expressions cause me PAIN, Shinae’s make me ACHE. He feels like a guilty asshole, he wants her to go, but he can’t even look at her and say it - he looks away, his mouth set in that way holding back all the things he believes he should not say. Honestly they are so good at hurting each other ;______; it hurts ME, too!

But also, I get it. I’m with Nol here. How can he bear to look at her when he’s pushing her away again? How can he bear to look at her when it’s all his fault (according to him). He can’t even look at her when he tells her Dieter was awake the whole time. It’s such a loaded statement but unfortunately it doesn’t QUITE land because Shinae can’t quite grasp the significance.

Actually this whole part is both so funny and so unbearable to me lmao because Nol is all but saying that Dieter oversaw them having a very non-platonic moment and she’s like i don’t get it why’s that a big deal LMAOOOOOO ;____; Nol is going THROUGH it okay! She keeps insisting that it meant nothing, that it’s just friends, what’s wrong with that. And Nol can’t come out and say the truth - that it looked romantic that it felt romantic, that he meant all of it and that’s why it’s so wrong. The whole time he’s trying to get her to understand WHY that hurts Dieter and she’s just hurting him at the same time LMAO OUCH

I LOVE those panels where we can’t see their faces - where it’s Nol’s frustration and anguish that she doesn’t get it, that he’s trying, that he feels awful because of course those feelings are still there why wouldn’t they be. His frustration, the faint lines on Shinae’s face.

Maybe it’s there at the back of her mind - something faint, something distant. Maybe for a moment she understands what Nol isn’t saying, the implications of what Dieter oversaw, overheard. But if it, she doesn’t acknowledge it at all.

Nol’s hand over his face in frustration, that panel where we close in on his eye and Shinae says “You’re not intentionally trying to hurt him!” But... he is. Maybe he doesn’t want to hurt Dieter - but he IS intentionally doing things that hurt him. And he still wants to! That’s the thing, that’s why he needs her to go. It’s so easy to fall into that, to act on that, to forget Dieter exists and instead indulge a little. It may not be his intention to hurt Dieter, but it’s his intention to do things that WOULD hurt him, and she doesn’t get it.

But GOD lmao the way she just starts to rub salt in the wound!!!!! “Whatever he thinks is just a misunderstanding. There’s NOTHING going on here!”

In ILY universe, nothing is always Nol. There is Nol going on here.

And look, I feel for him here, a LOT. This must be SO hard!!!! Not just the pushing her away, not just knowing he hurt Dieter, but having this whole conversation, her not getting it, her taking a moment that clearly meant SO MUCH to him and saying it meant nothing. Again, there’s so much that is LOADED when she says “We’re all friends here!” and he says that resolute “No”, his eyes hidden from us, his hands firm on the wheelchair.

Shinae misconstrues it as no, we aren’t all friends, but what Nol means is that no it’s not just friends. It’s two different people who like her a lot. It’s knowing he acted on something that hurt his friend. That moment wasn’t platonic, wasn’t just friendship - not for him. Clearly she’s unready to see it, but he knows it. No. We’re not friends here - we are people who like you so very much.

GOD, THE ANGST, THE ANGUISH. I AM SWINGING FROM THE RAFTERS I’M HOOTING.

I LOVE the moment he says he can’t take this - he can’t keep having this conversation, can’t take being shut down like this, can’t handle her downplaying a significant moment. If she wants to tell herself it was nothing but to keep reiterating it to him? Unbearable! But also I LOVE that Shinae stands her group and puts her foot down, I love her calling him out because like I get it! I understand both of them. She’s had no time to process any of this, all she knows is she wants him to stop pushing her away, she wants him to stop boxing her out, she wants him to be OPEN.

In a way, they are fighting for the same thing, but they keep obstructing each other. They want the same thing but they’re speaking in different languages. He WANTS her to see it - that it wasn’t a platonic moment, that he meant it that it matters that their fingerprints are all over it. He wants her to see what Dieter saw. She wants him to show himself, to open up, to stop hiding, to be vulnerable. They are trying SO HARD to get the same thing, but they just keep butting heads and getting in each others’ way.

AND WHEN SHE TELLS NOL THAT SHE’S NOT NOT INTERESTED IN DATING DIETER? OH MY /GOD/ lmao alkjfkjafkjafkjafkjja alfjakfjj SHRIEKS

Not ONLY has she basically downplayed this whole romantic moment, downplayed whatever is transpiring between them but she goes on to say SHE’S NOT NOT INTERESTED IN DIETER?! LMAOOOOOOOOO Again I reiterate no one is at fault here!!!!!! But lmaooooo the OUCHIES of this whole conversation! Isn’t it bad enough that she says it was nothing it doesn’t mean anything, and then she goes on to be like I mean i don’t totally NOT not like him idk..... LMAO

He’s clearly frustrated both in trying to get her to understand what he isn’t voicing, but also because he seems like such a resolute person? Or at least, he tries to be. I assume it’s kind of like... he realized he likes her and that’s it. It’s not that he thinks he might like her, it’s not that he might have some feelings. He knows he’s all in, all feelings, all eyes on her. And she appears so wishy washy - flirting with him but doesn’t acknowledge it, unintentionally stringing Dieter along and igniting that hope.

And the thing is she isn’t doing any of this maliciously. She’s tried to be clear with Dieter! It’s not her fault that he keeps getting his hopes up. She’s had no time to process her feelings for Nol, has had no experiences to compare any of this to. I love this conversation between them because it illuminates how little Shinae knows about feelings, about love, about romance. She hasn’t let anyone in in a long time, has guarded herself so tightly, and now that she has, how is she to understand the ways they affect her, what their significance means?

It’s easy to see why she keeps trying to box her feelings about Nol into a box they don’t fit. Of course she cares, of course she worries, that’s what friends do. It’s not that she cares, though - it’s why. Does she care as a friend or does she care as something else? That’s what he’s trying to get her to answer - and I think he got close. But she needs to distance herself from the night, too. She needs to dwell on those feelings - and not just the intensity of trying to hang on to him, but the other feelings, too. The butterflies, the fluttering, the fluster, the way she can’t meet his gaze, the way she starts to fluster if he looks at her for too long.

Someone said that Shinae is practically confessing to Nol and doesn’t even realize it and my god they’re right lmao. The way Shinae argues back that she knows Nol didn’t like it when she left after they danced, that she knows he was bummed, can you really throw all that away what we’ve been through, how effortless we are? lmao SHE REALLY JUST. Goes on saying it!!! AND SHE DOESN’T RECOGNIZE IT FOR WHAT IT WAS.

(I mean she did a whole damn love soliloquy in front of Minhyuk for Nol so like. It’s been an all night thing lmao)

Also it hurt when Nol admits that Dieter doesn’t have that with Shinae - not even as her friend. Even if she does not not want to date him, even if a part of her DOES like him - does it compare to what she feels about Nol? Does it compare to what he means to her? He can’t look her in the eye, and even as she tries to play it off, to say hey all friendships are different does it really matter SHE can’t meet his eye.

Consciously Shinae may not be aware of it but on some level she must know. On some subconscious level, that ghost of a thought passes by, a faint wave of shame. She doesn’t share with Dieter what she shares with Nol. It’s true that there’s something there, but it’s something she’s avoiding, something she consciously cannot face yet.

BUT LISTEN, MY GOD. NOL ASKING HER WHY SHE CARES /SCREAMS JUST SCREAMS ALJKFKJAFJKAFLJ AFJALJJAF AFJAKFJFA

He’s pushing!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that Nol is a ball of contradiction. He wants Shinae to acknowledge what he isn’t saying out loud, he wants her to realize that it means something to him, that there are feelings, that it’s not platonic, and he wants her to acknowledge so she understands why he’s pushing her away. But I think he also wants her to admit it herself. Confirm what he suspects. She fights SO hard but she can’t say why. She cares so much but she can’t elaborate.

Convince me.

LKJFKJAF LAJFKAJFA F /SCALES THE WALLS PARKOURS ACROSS ALL THE ROOFS IN THE NEIGHBORBOOD.

He knows. HE KNOWS. Convince him he’s wrong. Convince him it’s not what he thinks. Convince her that her extent of care of need her desperate desire to keep hold of him to make him show himself to her to be vulnerable with him is platonic. Convince him.

AND SHE CAN’T!!!!!!!!!

Again, she averts her gaze! Again, she flusters and blushes. Again he disarms her just by looking at her and he takes advantage of the moment to finally kick her out.

GOD WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST WANNA BARK BARK BARK WOOOOF RLKJJKJ RRRRGGHHR RRRRHGHGHG LDKJC YIP YIP YIP

IT’S SO GOOD. THE SUBTEXT, THE EXPRESSIONS, THE DANCE AROUND THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, THE ANGST, THE EMOTIONS.

And no matter which standpoint you look at it from it’s just GOOD.

Nol feels guilty, like an asshole, he has hurt his friend. But more than that - it’s how he knows he can’t be alone with her, how he knows he can’t stop himself any more from acting on what he wants. He needs to PHYSICALLY remove her because that’s how little resistance he has, because that’s how much she gets to him, how much she affects him. It’s the way it hurts to have this conversation - where if he says the words out loud it makes them real and it becomes a weight she has to carry. If he can make her reach the conclusion on her own, maybe it won’t be so bad. He won’t have to deal with the pain if she doesn’t reciprocate - if she comes to the right conclusion and keeps her distance. If he says them out loud and she has to turn him down? He can’t handle that he can’t bear it. But at the same time, every time she denies that their shared moment meant nothing, that the way he looked at her, the way he treated her (HOW HE TOUCHED HER?????) was just platonic to him???? HOW CAN HE BEAR TO ENDURE THAT CONVERSATION?!

And it’s not that it means nothing - she just needs the space and time to process it, to really play out what happened. I think, too, on some level she IS subconsciously repressing it. Isn’t it scary? Especially because Nol is a person who comes and goes, who pushes her away and then shares these intense moments and then shoves her away again. What good is it to acknowledge what he means when she can barely keep a hold on him as a friend, when she can barely make him understand his significance. Nol and Dieter both are such good friends to her, people she can rely on, people who make her feel safe. Sure Nol may not make her feel secure all the time lmao but when it’s just them, when they’re lost in that little world, for the moment, he does. It’s scary, to think of losing any of that. All the relationships she’s ever been privy to have fallen apart. There’s no photos, no memories of her family as a whole unit. She’s seen what Rand and Yui look like. She’s got no experience of her own, and now that she has friends she loves so much, she’s too afraid to lose them.

How can she begin to dissect what Nol means to her when it makes him feel more fleeting? How can she begin to understand what exists between them is romantic when she’s never really witnessed a healthy successful romance exist?

The thing that makes friends to lovers SUCH a good trope, and why I love it SO MUCH is the stakes, the risk vs the payout. What if you take that step and it all goes wrong? What if you mess it up and you lose someone who is SO important to you, someone who means so much? What if all goes wrong and you can’t put it back together and you make something beautiful all wrong by getting your fingerprints on it and chipping the corners? You start to fear even the possibility because sure it could go well - but if it goes bad you lose it ALL. Everything.

But what is life if you don’t take some risks? Can you live with that regret, if you never take a chance, if you miss out on something you wanted?

That’s the thing about Dieter, isn’t it? He knows the risks. He knows he’s playing with fire, knows he doesn’t quite have with Shinae what Nol does. But he still tries. He still lets his unwavering hope go, even if it hurts him. He can’t ever say he has any regrets because he’s given it his all. Sure, it hurt a LOT and it’s going to, until he gets over her and can find a way to move on, but at least he tried. At least he made the effort and can say that he did his best.

It’s funny that Nol and Shinae stand in that place. She’s doing her best, she’s making an effort so she can’t regret not trying - but she just can’t see the full picture, can’t acknowledge WHY she’s fighting WHY she’s pushing. But Nol is the other part of it, the understanding, but also fear. It’s not just Dieter that stops him. If she continues to deny that it means anything, if she continues to say it was nothing.... that hurts. It’s bad enough to have feelings - but for the person you like to deny them? GOD. ;A;

At this point there’s a lot of conversations that need to be had, and i think I’m looking forward to (hopefully?!) seeing Nol and Dieter talk it out. I think as much as Dieter is hurt, I can’t see him as the kind of person who would stand in the way of his friends happiness. If they make each other happy, who is he to tell Nol to back off or something? Shinae is a person with agency who can make her own choices and if she comes to a realization that she reciprocates Nol’s feelings well.... he can’t really stop her just because she doesn’t like him. He’s not an incel alkfkjafjaf lmao I don’t think it’s the kind of thing that would make him hate either of them.

I’ve said it before but Dieter loves Nol, too, so he can understand why Shinae would fall for him. And likewise, as a person who likes Shinae, I’m sure he can understand how Nol would unintentionally fall. There’s a lot that’s happened between Nol and Shinae that Dieter doesn’t know about - the things that draw them together, that make them reach out to one and other. I think he can probably get that sense - there’s just SOMETHING ELSE there that isn’t with him and Shinae.

I like to think Dieter might encourage Nol, or at the very least perhaps tell him to stop pushing people away. That one of these days he’ll push and she won’t come back and can he really live with that? While Dieter doesn’t know as much as Shinae, he at least seems to have the sense that there’s a profound depth to Nol, that there’s a lot of pain (as evidenced between him and Kousuke) and that his life hasn’t been as easy as Yeonggi made it look, so maybe he, too, will what it means for Nol to open up, to really truly fall for someone who feels the same as him. Who is he to deny their happiness, just because it makes him hurt?

On the other hand, a part of me dreads Dieter and Shinae talking because WHEW BOY we know it’s going to hurt either way it goes. Will she deny her feelings about Nol, try to continue to write them off as friendship because it scares her, because she’s so afraid of losing him that she’s willing to swallow them down, because she doesn’t want it to get in the way? Even if she did, Dieter would see through it. I think now that he’s seen it, really seen it at play, he knows he can’t keep pretending. That’s why he’s distanced himself. If she were to try to play the card that it meant nothing wouldn’t he get more upset that she’s lying? God it just feels like a painful conversation ;___; And if she’s honest with him, if she sets him straight that she should have been clearer, that she hurt him, it just makes it hurt more AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

JUST AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

All that said, I love how good of a subversion of “why does my kokoro go dokidoki”. It’s not that Shinae is naïve - it’s that she’s inexperienced and scared. It’s that she hasn’t had the time to process, it’s that she has this mix of feelings that she’s had no time to sort them out and untangle them. For so long she held people at arm’s length and now her heart is too full! And because it’s subverting that trope, I don’t think we’ll see it drawn out for a terribly long time, and she’ll put on her big girl pants and try to make it right. Right now she’s afraid to rock the boat. She’s been hurt so many times by people, she doesn’t want to be the one who hurts others, she doesn’t want to be the one who inflicts pain. But I think when she realizes the truth, she’ll realize that trying to ignore it causes more pain, drawn out. That’s what Nol is getting at. That as long as she doesn’t definitively have feelings, it only hurts. It drags out Dieter’s pain every time he thinks there’s a chance. It drags out Nol’s pain, that she can’t sort out the feelings.

I love so much that Shinae cares about peoples’ feelings - especially because in the beginning she so badly wanted to believe she doesn’t care if people think she’s a bitch. She’s so empathetic and caring! But at some point we have to realize that avoiding a problem only makes it worse. It’s so much better to be up front and get it out of the way. Dieter won’t be able to heal until the wound stops getting ripped open. He WILL be okay, he WILL get over. But it won’t happen until she makes things clear.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS SO MANY FEELINGS I HAVEN’T EVEN TALKED ABOUT NOL’S RESOLVE BUT I’M SAVING THAT FOR A SEPARATE POST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

Husband and I finally finished My Little Pony so now we’re starting The Clone Wars (we’ve never seen it, but I know way more than I should for someone who’s never seen it, thanks to this place)

We watched the first two episodes last night. My thoughts:

I did not realize Ventress was so dummy thicc

Ol’ Sheevy literally looks like a rotting corpse idk how people don’t know he’s evil

Ah, yes. The Padawan Tube Top™

It’s so convenient that the bad guy troops are droids and can just get totally slaughtered with little moral consequence lol. (But I still feel a little sorry for them when they say “but I just got promoted!” and “don’t shoot, I’m on your side!” right before dying)

Dang they’re really just gonna show a dead clone guy hanging out the side of that busted escape pod in this kids’ show huh

Husband’s thoughts:

“Yoda is way cooler in this series than in the movies”

“Snips.”

“Skyguy.”

“Wow Yoda was like, ‘no one gets left behind’ in the first ep but in this one he’s cool with letting Plo Koon die”

“Ah…the meme” (The clones saying they’re meant to be expendable and Plo says “not to me”)

#shywalker stuff #the shywalkers watch clone wars

as soon as the episode ended i knew immediately what i wanted from next episode: and while it might not happen, i have hopes? and i think it'd be fun. anyways i have other projects i don't want to continue this so enjoy! (dndads s2ep30 spoilers)

For all of his life, Normal’s been jealous of his sister.

He never wanted to admit it. He thought maybe, just maybe, he could earn a fun nickname or… or something from his parents if he were just popular enough, or well-liked. He figured he must’ve done something crazy horrible when he was born for his parents to name him Normally, but its not like he really minded the name so much… only when it was featured in smaller print alongside Hero on family photos.

And it’s not like Hero gloated about it or anything – in fact, sometimes she seemed just as grumpy about their unusual naming conventions as Normal himself was – but Normal remembers when Uncle Lark would take Hero out on trips around the city and his dad usually accompanied them and Normal loves his mom so much but he can’t deny that part of him had always felt so… left behind.

Now, he knows the truth: he was right to be jealous of Hero. She was special– and she was planned to be that way. No wonder Normal couldn’t make his father proud of him, there was probably nothing he could do. Not when he was a mistake. An accident. Unwanted.

With how much of his plans have gone awry since they started this entire mess, and with how Scary fights and Link snaps and Taylor bickers… and with all that he’s learned, Normal is tired.

(What’s the point in having a loving family if they only love you by necessity?

How can be be sure that, if given another chance, they’d still have him, welcome him into their lives?

What is the point of friendship if nobody trusts him and nobody listens to him?

And, better yet, why bother trying to do the right thing if it always, always goes wrong).

Suggesting his place as a hangout spot had been a distraction. He wanted to take a chance to see his mom, of course, but also if his sister really is the Chosen One, his house would probably be the safest place to drop off the others in his group. His plan would, unfortunately, require him to lie; or, at the very least, to act his pants off to convince the others that he was going to stay with them, but…

…well, what else could he do?

He couldn’t bring the others with him to the next anchor. That, Normal’s known since Scary convinced Link that the easiest way to help people would be via breaking the anchors with hate– surely, surely, they’d question it, but nobody did. Nobody did, and now Normal can’t trust them, and… and he might not be special in the way he had always wanted to be, but he still owes it to the Doodler, to himself, to break the other anchors in peace.

And it’s not like they notice. Normal winces when Scary casts fireball – that’s his house she’s about to burn down with her overleveled magic – but he’s already committed himself, and with a quick silent apology to Taylor and Link, he slips off into the living room, where Hermie is leaning against a wall, eyebrows quirked.

“Oh, now you notice that I’m here,” Hermie snips, eyes narrowed in a way that has Normal want to bury himself into the ground and never get up again. “About time–”

“-I’m really sorry, Hermie, I just… I needed the others to forget about you, so I kinda ignored you on purpose this time,” Normal admits, staring at the ground. “I had to make sure they didn’t hear you.”

Hermie doesn’t say anything– when Normal finally glances back up at him, his lips are all pursed together, and he’s tapping his foot like the explanation is still not quite enough– which, fair.

“You said you know how to go to the goofs realm yourself,” Normal elaborates, and he tugs at his sleeves, wondering mildly if his own heartbreak is still written all over his face. “I… I can’t trust the others anymore, but I’m really, really hoping I can still trust you. And we can go together.”

“Wow, Normal, that’s…” Hermie pauses, and then, to Normal’s surprise, he grins. “Devious. Tricking the others like that… so that you could have me all to yourself… I can respect that.”

At the phrase all to yourself, Normal finds himself involuntarily flushing a bright red.

“If I help you, you can never pull something like that on me ever again though, got it?” Hermie sticks a finger directly in Normal’s face, and Normal can’t help the shuddered breath he takes– he’s sure that his panic is very, very visible, much to his own embarrassment. “You’re asking a lot of me, leaving my uncle behind like this.”

“I’m pretty sure Taylor is your nephew, not your uncle,” Normal points out.

Hermie only shrugs. “Same difference. You’re lucky you’re cute and I want to meet my other father. And… maybe it will help, having you there. Like you were with… Jodie.”

Right. Because that went so well. Normal grimaces. “I promise,” he says, “I won’t forget about you again. I don’t want to.”

“Good boy,” Hermie croons, and in one swift move, he draws from one of the pockets in his trousers, revealing his phone. “Okay, so. I’ve been getting these text messages ever since we landed in Hell.”

Normal hears shouting from the other room. It’s getting hot– they don’t have much time. Gritting his teeth, he peers over Hermie’s hands, glancing down at the screen as Hermie navigates to his message history; a string of random numbers and various messages.

(909-855-5152): ARE YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES IN IMMEDIATE DANGER? CONTACT US FOR FULL PROTECTION

(909-502-2328): HOT NEW SALE ON WEAPONS! CALL US NOW!!!

(909-764-8574): HURTING? DR. NOT ME HAS THE PERFECT CURE FOR YOUR AILMENTS! CLICK THE LINK FOR MORE INFO:

“I can’t be sure, but… I just have a feeling I could probably contact… whoever is sending these,” Hermie says as Normal reads over his shoulder. “It’s kind of more of a hunch, but… I have strong feelings about it.”

“I…” Normal hesitates. He wants to say that he trusts Hermie. Really, really! He does! But as he glances behind him warily again – as he remembers how Link and Scary both hadn’t trusted him, betraying him time and time again, the way he had just been shattered and hardly anyone seemed to care.

But Hermie had cared. And he had been angry at Normal’s own negligence, and…

“I trust you,” he finally finishes, and despite himself, he clutches at Hermie’s hands, taking comfort in the warmth; he’s always been someone grounded by touch, and especially now when he doesn’t have anyone else. “But we should hurry.”

“Right.” Hermie glances down at where Normal’s hands cling to his own, but if he thinks anything of it, he doesn’t say so. Instead, he clicks one of the messages, and, with shaky fingers, hits the green call button.

For a moment, the phone rings and rings and rings and the house is growing warmer and warmer and from somewhere, Link shouts… something, and if Normal concentrates hard enough he could hear Taylor too yelling, and it takes more effort than he’d like to tune it all out, but if he thinks too hard about what he’s doing he’ll stop, and he can’t stop, not now, not when– –the receiver clicks. Hermie inhales, and Normal holds his breath as they peer at the screen.

“Oh my, who could it be? You’ve reached none other than Scam Actually!” a voice says cheerily, and Normal exhales in a giddy rush of relief. Besides him, Hermie has gone pale again; like he hadn’t actually expected this to work. “To whom do I owe the pleasure?”

Normal gently nudges Hermie. “Talk to him,” he whispers, and gives the most encouraging thumbs up he can muster.

Hermie nods, and he too sighs, his hands shaking. “Scam,” he greets, “it is… Hermie. I believe you are my father.”

“...oh, how delightful!”

“And this number promised me… safety if I reach out. So this is me reaching out?” Hermie glances at Normal, and for the first time since Hell, Normal watches as the unfaltering confidence Hermie has all the time falters– for a moment, he just looks like Normal, the feelings of being unwanted and discarded there in his eyes, and Normal frowns.

“I see, I see. Oh my, what a curious situation you’ve gotten yourself into… oh I must know more. Come along!”

Next to them, a swirling portal rips through the air, shining yellow and glittering. More colors swirl inside the vortex, and it looks… creepy, but no more dangerous than the portal to Hell, and as Hermie tucks his phone back into his pocket, they both stare at the portal for a moment.

“Ready?” Normal asks, and he slips his hand into Hermie’s own, squeezing it for good measure.

“Yeah,” Hermie nods, and he squeezes back.

And then – as the rest of the household remains oblivious – they step through together, hand in hand.

#kasey writes stuff #dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndads spoilers #normal oak #hermie the unworthy #oakworthy #BTW obligatory uhhhh #normal is not in a good headspace rn #and he's making some questionable logic leaps and judgement issues #i don't actually believe some of the things he says here! i felt the need to clarify that #i do believe that Normal believes them though. which is a different thing. so i wrote him accordingly

Hit me with more info about “strays” pleaseeeeeeee! And also give me more on #4 and/or #37!!!!

Hitting you! GENTLY!

'strays' is the working title for the fic i rambled about here, jamie's gonna LEARN SOME STUFF and FEEL SOME STUFF and SUFFER SOME STUFF because all three please me greatly! i've been enjoying poking at this one because there's exponentially more characters than just the jamie-roy-wonder-twins fics i've mostly been writing lol.

(oh god the mountain, i'm SCARED)

with #4 we've struck a fic i've lovingly working-titled 'consequences of that forgiveness bullshit' where jamie follows ted's terrible TERRIBLE advice a bit too much. this one's a result of me gnashing my teeth at the flash-forward to jamie and his "dad" reconciling over family photos as if the show hadn't confirmed the depths of the sludge-man's evilness only a few episodes before. In this fic/au, Jamie tries to go see his "dad" in rehab but does not get there. (this one will definitely be written at some stage because i am still filled with rage thinking about that plot point.)

and #37 has landed on.. OHHH GOD OHH NOO oh wow. okay. this one is one of the ones i occasionally side-eye with 'YOWZA do i actually want to write that'. it consists of jamie's POV of roy having a day so bad, roy comes to think of it as the last Bad Day™️ he'll ever have, because no future day could ever again be bad enough to be classified as a Bad Day™️ after that. (that is so vague, i'm so sorry. if this does get written it's gonna have 'creator chose not to use archive warnings' WHOOPS)

Have a snip from 'strays' to make up for it:

Like two terrible truths tearing him apart; he wanted quiet, craved a break from the performance his life had become, from having to be Jamie Fucking Tartt, from trying to understand who the fuck that was and who the fuck people wanted that to be. But Jamie didn’t want to be alone.

#...i don't know if that makes up for it or makes it worse #oh well #THANK YOU AGAIN BELOVED #ask box is always open #writing tag #jamietarttsnorthernattitude

Office AU Snip 2

Draco leaned against the doorjamb, lips quirking before settling on a smile. “Harry? What are you doing here?”

He was wearing leg warmers. Thigh high, striped, yellow-green-pink. And a t-shirt, pink too. Harry blinked and blinked and blinked. “I—erm—” what was he… “The, uh, draw. The Strictly draw, we won. The last episode apparently aired last night, I don’t… never watched it.”

“Hmm.” Draco eyed the bottle in Harry’s hands, lower lip disappearing between his teeth. “And quite the prize it is. Come in, come in.”

Harry followed, still blinking so fast he could barely see.

“You’re not just coming from the office, are you?” Draco stopped to look back, shaking his head. “It’s after eight. Harry.”

“Yeah, I know, sorry, I… the Milton case, I was going over the paperwork. Everything needs to be perfect for tomorrow.”

He tsked. “Could have asked me to stay in and help.”

“No, there was no need.” His eyes were starting to water. He’s only ever seen Draco in office clothes for months, and this was—fuck, almost funny. Almost, in a nosebleed sort of way. Leg warmers? It was plenty warm in the flat. Also… a little scratchy down his throat.

“So, what kind of drink did the company splurge on?” Draco came closer, stealing what little air Harry had been able to gulp. “Asda’s own bubbly. Wow. Fancy.”

“Plastic cups, too,” Harry said mechanically, arms stretching forward. “Nothing but the best.”

Draco’s smile was so strange in here. “If you wouldn’t mind, I have some actual glasses in the kitchen. Unless you think it’d cheapen it.”

He left (and the shorts—did Harry mention the shorts, above the darned leg-warmers? Bright green and so… tight on his backside?), and Harry still wasn’t breathing properly. The lighting was soft, a little dim, making it harder to concentrate on the details. Small, blue sofa, a tiny red armchair, a bookcase. Soft-looking rug, a standing lamp in the shape of a—

“Here,” Draco was back, gentle touch on Harry’s arm. “Chin chin.”

Harry took an instinctive sip, and bravely didn’t spit it out. “Gah. I forgot I hate this stuff.”

“I have rum in the kitchen,” Draco said, trying to take the glass back. “Or a bottle of white, but it’s been open a while—how about ginger beer? Oh, I got the most marvellous gin last week, should have some lemonade left.”

“No, no, this is fine.” Harry took another valiant sip, nose scrunched. “It’s so… bubbly.”

“Give it,” Draco laughed, shaking his head. But he came nearer, and thinking was hard, because he was wearing fucking leg-warmers and—and this was all so baffling. “Harry. You’re being ridiculous.”

“Mm, so good. Tastes like victory.” Maybe if he kept it in his hands, Draco would come even closer. Try to wrestle it out of his grasp. Keep calling him ‘Harry’ like that, with the little smile. Maybe their shoulders would brush. Maybe he was losing his fucking mind.

“Fine, have it your way,” Draco rolled his eyes. “If you decide against hating yourself, there are plenty of other drinks in there.”

He made his way to the sitting area, one leg-warmed step at a time. Sat on the sofa, said leg hiking up, so he could rest his chin on a knee.

“Well? Are you going to keep standing?”

Harry could have taken the tiny armchair, but it was rather tiny, probably not the most comfortable. And Draco’s leg on the sofa, so brightly coloured. Everything was, around him. The walls were covered with photos and posters, and Harry looked and looked, not taking anything in.

“Go on then. Ask.”

A bit of a struggle, training his eyes back to Draco. “Ask what?”

“Ask about the penis lamp, Harry.”

He nearly lost his life on a sip. “What… so. That’s what that’s meant to be?”

“Blaise thought he was so funny,” he leaned back, wine sloshing in his glass, eyes wide with laughter, and Harry’s knees went a bit weak. “Got it off of gum tree, believe it or not. This guy in Aberdeen makes them out of old tyres? Naturally when he looked at it, he thought of me.”

“Naturally.” Harry’s voice came out raspy.

Draco leaned back, looking him up and down. “So, what’s the real reason you stayed at work so late?”

“Hmm?”

“Come on. We both know everything was ready for the Miltons all the way last week. What’s eating you up?”

“Who…” Harry took a laboured breath, swallowed something sticky in his throat. “Who said there’s something—nothing’s wrong. I just needed a little time. To review some documents.”

“So you’ve said,” Draco mumbled, with a slight air of—not disappointment, but something just as bitter. Felt like being punched. “Very well, then. Drink up, Potter.”

tti episode 22

“Last time, on Total Takes Island: we took you around the Playa de Losers, a luxury resort in which the losers from the past season have been chumming it up against a backdrop of gourmet food, waterslides and massage tables. We learned that Austin and Kelly are still together and happy, Kitty and Patrick are still radioactive, and Mal is still… um, Mal. In a shocking twist of events, the losers accidentally voted off Bonnie, sending them to the docks and leaving Michael behind on an island of people she hates. Who will be walking the dock next? Find out now, on Total! Takes! Island!”

Chris’ weather machine sputters to life, sending out a few dark clouds over the island in the early morning. The rain follows, an extremely heavy downpour that wakes almost everyone with flashes and lightning and cracks of thunder.

“Oh, great,” Julia sighs. “I didn’t pack a coat.”

“Not even one?” Michael asks, pulling up the hood on her parka and fastening her boots a little tighter.

“It’s summer. It’s not supposed to rain until, like, October or something!” Julia snips, hopping off of her bunk and walking to her suitcase to dig through it.

“Where are you from?”

Ass hums pleasantly as they walk back inside the cabin, decked out in a yellow raincoat and dripping all over the hardwood floors. They flip off their hood and smile. “Lovely weather, huh? Rain is so stimulating,” they take off their coat and set it by the door, their matching boots following. “Of course, I packed extra carefully. Brought at least three coats.”

Julia starts. “Can I-”

“When you earn it,” Ass says, shaking their finger at her.

Chris’ voice blares over the intercom as Julia glares. “Lovely morning today, huh, campers? Welcome to the dreaded rain day- any and all fun activities are canceled, except for the craft tent, where I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow!”

Julia sighs and steps out onto the porch, watching the rain pour. “Yeah, I am so not going out in that. Michael, can you-?”

“Get it yourself,” Michael says, walking to the mess hall with her hands in her pockets.

“Whatever! I’ll just starve, then!” she stands, clenching her fists.

“Have fun!”

“Wow, dramatic much?” Ass asks, walking by while rolling their eyes.

Julia sighs and grumpily sits down, cradling her face in her palms.

---

JULIA: “Okay, I get it, alright! Thank you, universe, for teaching me my lesson! I should’ve never dropped Michael for Scruffy and I shouldn’t have dumped Scruffy for Ass! I get it now!”

---

Julia stands, walking back inside the cabin and slamming the door behind her.

---

The rain continues to pour, beating down on the camp. Michael and Ass eventually return from the mess hall and decide there’s nothing else to do but sleep the rest of the day off, since no one in the girl’s and such cabin is exactly thrilled to braid each other’s hair and tell secrets.

Morning comes, the sky now a beautiful shade of blue and the sun beaming down. Julia is up first, yawning and stretching. She notices the sunlight sifting into the room first and smiles sleepily. “Thank God!”

She hops off the top bunk and her feet go cold. Julia looks down and sees water up to her ankles. “Oh, awesome! Flash flood, anyone?”

Michael yawns, stretching. “What’re you talking ab- oh, geez,”

The three remaining campers look down at the soaked floor and grumble, shifting around the cabin to pick up their now-soaked belongings left on the floor the previous night. As Ass picks up a sock by the window, they stop. “Um...”

“Hm?” Michael asks, looking out the window with them. “Oh, crap.”

The three throw open the door and walk out onto the unfamiliar sandy beaches of an unknown island, where the flood had lifted the cabin and drifted it to the night prior.

“Okay, this blows,” Ass comments, crossing their arms. “This must be another one of Chris’ dumb challenges.”

“Don’t you think he would’ve at least explained it first?” Michael says. “You know how much he enjoys watching the terror on our faces.”

“We just drifted downstream,” Julia walks a bit down the beach. “Someone has to come get us eventually.”

Ass and Michael follow her, walking down the sands until they reach the end of the beach, a large cliff soaring upwards. They all have a collective feeling of being walled in.

Ass turns around, back to the cabins. “Hey, where’s McLovin?”

---

The boy’s and such cabin and its only remaining member float down the lake, completely isolated from the distant, foggy islands surrounding it. McLovin yawns, waking up the latest out of everyone (again) and stepping outside the cabin without looking, plopping straight into the water.

“What the hell, man?” he asks, rubbing his eyes as the cold water instantly wakes him. He looks around the abandoned lake for a moment. “Hey… where is everyone?”

---

Julia sharpens a stick with a rock, wiping the sweat off her brow. Michael scales a tree in the forest to look out over the island.

“Okay, here are the rules,” Ass says, pacing the beach. “No one is to leave without telling us. No hogging resources. No trying to escape on your own. Michael, you’re on adhesives. Julia, get started on logging.”

“Um,” Michael drops from the tree. “What are you talking about?”

“We’re building a raft, duh. I’ve read a million survival books, I know what to do in this situation,”

---

MICHAEL: “Okay, not to rain on their parade, but reading isn’t exactly the same as doing. I can’t count how many times Joner got us lost in the woods, at amusement parks, on beaches, rivers, museums… he just gets excited and runs off,”

---

“If you’re sooo smart, shouldn’t you know we’re supposed to look for water first?” Julia asks, swiping her stick with the sharpened stone again.

“We’re surrounded by water, genius,” Ass jabs their thumb in the direction of the lake.

Michael sighs. “I’m going to start a fire and try to find something to boil the lake water in,”

“It’s fresh, Einstein,”

“It’s lake water. Did your survival books encourage you to die of bacterial infections, too?” she says as she walks into the cabins in search of a vessel.

---

McLovin sits in the cabins, rocking back and forth. His stomach grumbles and he whimpers.

“They left me here to die! They left me here to die!” he mutters, pulling out a crayon portrait of Sha-Mod. “You’d never leave me, Sha-Mod, would you?”

He giggles nervously and his pupils dilate.

---

“These plants are potted,” Julia says, kicking a clay pot holding a triassic-looking plant. “Chris is so corny.”

---

CHRIS: “Nuh-uh!”

---

“Yeah, I’m not exactly buying this whole “freak accident carried us downstream” thing,” Ass says, huffing as they drag another log to the beach. “This is clearly a challenge!”

“No duh,” Julia rolls her eyes. “Hey, what’s that?”

Ass looks to a distant human-made structure peaking out of the treeline where Julia points and their eyes widen. “A treehouse?”

The two drop what they’re doing and sprint over to the structure, fighting over who climbs the ladder first with slight slaps and scratches. Michael follows shortly, watching the two fight with her hands on her hips. Eventually, they roll into the bushes and pause their slapping to scream.

Michael runs through to see what the fuss is about, and comes face to face with a giant, shiny white T-Rex skeleton. Julia and Ass hug each other and shake in terror, scooting away from the colossal skull.

“Seriously? This is so not real,” Michael says. “If it were an actual skeleton, it’d be buried under layers of dirt and stone, and no natural bones are white and flawless. They’d be yellowed, with some signs of wear- bite marks, scratches, missing parts- this thing is plastic. And corny.” she kicks it.

---

CHRIS: “Nuh-uh!”

---

MICHAEL: “Okay, so I'm aware it's totally useless information, but I… know a lot about dinosaurs. Not because of Joner or anything, just… cause, you know?”

---

Julia and Ass stand, slightly embarrassed as Michael knocks on the thin plastic skeleton. A strong breeze carries it away seconds later.

While everyone is distracted watching the hollow bones float off in the wind, Ass turns and runs to the treehouse ladder first, climbing it while laughing at the two below. They open the door and a prop skeleton swings out, knocking them off the platform.

Julia and Michael laugh as they stand from the ground, dusting themselves off. They glare. “Whatever!” and they climb the ladder again, pushing past the prop. The two other campers follow, still chuckling.

The inside of the cabin is dark and dirty, a few stray bunk beds and chests lining the walls. A massive spider crawls away as the light from the door hits it.

“Ew,” Julia says, stepping away. “I’m not staying in here.”

A distant howling from outside makes everyone turn to the lake, and then promptly run inside.

---

McLovin sits on the porch steps as his cabin remains floating in the lake, crying and howling while rocking back and forth. The crayon drawing of Sha-Mod is taped to the front of a book now, propped up beside him.

“I’m going to die out here, Sha-Mod. I’m going to die without ever having the chance to prove myself,” he mutters to the paper. “Without having seen my friends one last time… without completing my Fast and Furious VHS tape collection… I’m going to die with Michael still hating my guts!”

The Sha-Mod drawing says nothing as McLovin sniffles.

“What was that?” He asks, turning to the paper. “You think I need to keep going?”

The Sha-Mod drawing says nothing.

“You think I need to survive to make amends and prove my worth?”

The Sha-Mod drawing says nothing.

McLovin stands. “You’re right! I’ve been living in fear for far too long!”

He runs inside the cabin, breaking something with a loud snap and a screech and then running back out with one of the bunk bed legs, using it to weakly paddle the cabin.

---

“I cannot believe this is how I’m going to die,” Julia sighs, sitting on one of the dusty bunks inside. “Surrounded by losers.”

Ass scoffs. “I could say the same!”

“Whatever,” she murmurs, rolling her eyes. “I’m not a loser.”

“I’m not either,”

They both turn to Michael, who’s sitting on the floor, studying one of the remaining fake dinosaur bones. She looks up.

A loud crashing noise from outside grabs everyone’s attention and they run to the platform. The boy’s and such cabin is washed up on shore, and McLovin is lying face-down in the sand, clutching the now-crinkled drawing of Sha-Mod.

“Oh, come on!” Julia shouts. “How is he still alive?”

“I told you, he has a lot of determination hidden in that thin body,” Ass says. “You owe me three chocolate bars.”

“If I don’t kill him first,” she murmurs, climbing down the ladder with the others to go retrieve him from the sand.

---

The four campers sit inside the treehouse together in silence. McLovin is cradling the picture of Sha-Mod, which everyone is refusing to acknowledge outside of giving each other confused glances.

Michael coughs. Julia scratches a bug bite on her ankle. Ass picks at their fingernails.

“So…” Michael says, everyone glaring at her for breaking the silence. “How do you think the other campers would cope with this? If they were here, I mean?”

“Bonnie would be a machine, they’d find a way out in ten minutes, tops,” McLovin says. “Don’t you agree, Sha-Mod?”

Ass rolls their eyes. “Courtney would probably start getting us to ‘work together’ as ‘a team’ to 'survive',”

“Scruffy would probably tell us about an episode where this happened, so we’d know exactly what to do!” Julia chimes in.

“Max would’ve gotten us organized right away. No fighting about what to do,” Michael says, smiling. “He’d have a plan the second we washed up here.”

Ass leans forward, now smiling slightly as they rest their chin on their fist. “Staci would be telling us about how her great-uncle Femur built the first raft,”

“And then she’d build an even better one,”

“Patrick would be all like, “oh no, the bees! I’m allergic!” and then run into a bear trap,”

They all laugh at that, shaking their heads. The mood is slightly less tense now and the treehouse seems a little brighter.

“Frollo would probably get us to confess our sins,” Michael says, pulling her knees to her chest. “It’d probably make us feel better, if anything.”

“Yeah, no way would that hoot get anything out of me,” Ass says, smirking. “He’d probably try to save me from damnation or something.”

“Yeah, but it’d be nice to have a clear conscience before we die on this island, you know?”

The four look at each other.

---

“Jesus, that actually happened?” Julia asks, sitting up in the bunk she was lying on.

Ass shakes their head and sighs. “Yeah, I know. I guess I kinda used to be a bit of a pushover. I just figured that’s the way things are, no use in fighting for myself,”

“I guess Mal really messed you up, considering what happened before you came here,” Michael says.

“Yeah. That was really the cherry on top of everything. But at least it wasn’t half as sad as Julia’s parents,”

“My home life isn’t depressing, just disappointing,” Julia snaps. “And at least it’s not as bad as Michael’s!”

Michael grimaces. “Yeah, well, at least I didn’t have a Mal!”

The three girls grumble and then fall silent. Ass turns to McLovin. “Okay, MC, your turn to confess. Let’s hear ‘em,”

McLovin opens his mouth, but just before he can speak Julia stands. “Do you guys smell that?”

The four run out to the platform outside and see smoke rising over the hills in the distance.

“People!” Michael gasps. “We’re not alone!”

The four climb down the ladder and run in the direction of the rising smoke, not bothering to wait to form a plan. They all shout, stumbling and falling into a clearing where Chris is waiting, snacking on a kebab and sitting in a director’s chair.

“And cut!” he laughs, swallowing a bite. “Great job, everyone, you all survived!”

“What. Is. This,” Ass asks, pointing at the site. A luxury trailer sits beside a gourmet buffet and a few tents. Chef is grilling something delicious-smelling nearby, hence the smoke.

“This is our crew site. We were just waiting for you to get back,” he chuckles, finishing his snack and tossing the skewer away. “Feel free to help yourself to the buffet, you all must be starving!”

The four glare at Chris. He laughs again. “See you all at the campfire ceremony tonight- oh, and by the way, all of that was on camera,”

They blink, suddenly looking horrified. Chris walks away as the rain downpour starts up again, soling all the buffet food.

---

“Aw, you all look so tired!” Chris says, looking over the exhausted campers. McLovin cradles his Sha-Mod as the rest of the contestants stare blankly. “Michael, Ass, Julia, you’re all safe.”

“Um, you have a marshmallow left on that plate,” Ass says, pointing.

“Very observant, Natalie. McLovin!” he tosses the last treat to McLovin, who looks on in terror.

“No- you don’t mean-”

“That’s right! Sha-Mod is once again walking the dock of shame!”

McLovin cries in anguish as Chef walks over, grabbing the barely intact drawing from him and walking away with it. He falls to the ground and beats the dirt with his fists, sobbing as everyone watches on in a mix of concern and genuine fascination.

Julia chooses to ignore the display. "So... we never talk about what we said in that treehouse again. Deal?"

Michael and Ass nod.

Chris pops up. “Who will be torn from our campers next time? And who will get one step closer to winning the million? Find out tomorrow, on Total! Takes! Island!”

[from @911-on-abc] wait a podcasting fic? please tell me more!!!!!!! I have to know what their podcast is about! thanks!

This is an idea @pock-o-pea and I came up with when we were first getting into the show! Basically we kept seeing tiktoks of the Basement Yard podcast which had VERY buddie vibes, and it spiralled a little!

Basically the podcast is a general life podcast where they pick a different theme each week to discuss, bringing on some of their friends as guests every few episodes!

The idea for the fic is for it to be written entirely in the format of episode transcripts, and as the episodes go on they start flirting on air and slowly get together behind the scenes. I want to include multimedia elements of listeners shipping them online and stuff too, and Jen suggested she might do a podfic for it too if it ever gets finished!

Here's a snip:

Eddie: I don’t get the whole nickname thing, honestly. I like people just using my name. Buck: There are very few people in my life I let call me by my actual name, honestly. Eddie: Yeah, I’ve noticed that! Where did Buck come from anyway? Buck: Eddie, my last name is Buckley what do you mean? Eddie: [sighs] You know what I mean! When did you start going by Buck? Buck: Oh! Duh, sorry. Not that interesting, honestly. I was in the academy, my first name is pretty common. There were three of us with the same name, so we got nicknames based on our last names. Eddie: Wow, I always assumed you’d been Buck for longer than that. Buck: Yeah, well, there you go. Is this topic really boring? Eddie: Nah, we’re just getting started! Don’t be so hard on yourself, man. You ever have other nicknames besides Buck? Buck: I’ve been called lots of things. You over there! Kid asleep on his desk! Smartass, jackass, asshole. Eddie: Lots of asses here Buck: What can I say, I’ve got a great ass. Eddie: Oh my god. Buck: I might’ve been called that once or twice too, yeah. Eddie: Jesus Buck: [laughing] Sorry, I’ll stop Eddie: That reminds me of another nickname I’ve heard you gave yourself, before we met. Buck: Oh yeah? What’s that one? Eddie: Firehose? Buck: Oh you did not go there! What about Chris? Eddie: We can edit this segment out of the version we send him. So let’s hear it, did you give yourself that nickname?

Ask me about my wips!

I am overwhelmed. I am stunned. I am speechless. How lucky are we to get to watch something so beautifully Star Wars? That was Dave Filoni's love letter to his creations. This is what it's like to watch a fan getting to bring their OC's to life and pay tribute to them the way they want to. Ahsoka is his creation. The Snips and Skyguy dynamic. The Clone Wars. The rebels. This was his Mona Lisa to each and every one of them. I cannot believe I just got to watch that. What a beautiful tribute to Hayden too. This episode was...wow.

Note

jason tell me about dove for that ask meme. because i lvoe him too. i miss him :(

well. i asked for this.

hi guys welcome to my batman blog where today im going to be talking about niche silver age dc character that absolutely no one gives a shit about but me: don hall! i read all of his comics in the span of like two days and i havent stopped crying about him since

send me a character and ill tell you...

- What made me like them in the first place

pictured: the precise moment i fell head over heels in love w don. he is just so..... yknow??? hes just such a kind fucking person and i love him so much

- Who I ship them with

no one </3 he literally doesnt talk to anyone long enough. if i shipped him w anyone it would probably be lilith tho they were kind of cute in that single fucking panel lol

- Random headcanon I have about them

he taught an art class he MUST paint i refuse to believe anything else hes definitely an art boy <3

- My favorite moment of theirs

see the above panel but also when he fuckin.g embarrassed himself in front of the girl he lieks and teargassed a bunch of cops and then tripped chasing after a criminal and got called a crybaby and then the comic just ENDED LIKE THAT. dons horrible no good very bad day alkjsndfssdf hes such a loser i love him so much

- Plotline/story I want to happen

if dc hadnt been a bunch of cowardly losers they could have leaned more into dons investigative tendencies and the way he talks to victims about what happened which would have been rad as fuck, just btw. also i wish there had been MORE comics w don and hank working w the teen titans. yes we had a few but what about more. i want don to have friends. fuck you dc

- Any issues or insecurities I think they have

that boy should be more insecure than he is bc wow. he is jsut the biggest loser. i think hes obviously insecure about a lot of things bc hank only picks on him all the time (and he picks back! iconic.)

- Favorite quote

see the above panel (again), but also i think its really funny when he snips at hank, and you KNOW i love all his panels where he defends his pacifism. hes so iconic

- Kiss, marry, hug, or kill

i am kissing him right on the mouth hes so <33333

- Random thing that reminds me of them

just really predictable shit. but yknow i promise you every time i think about the teen titans my brain is always gonna jump straight to him, and thats probably not the case for most people

- Any talents I think they might have

well he knew enough about art to teach a class and apparently hes a pretty good swimmer. i feel like hed probably be good at other things hank would think r super lame, like sewing

- On a rate from 1 to 10 how much I love them

10/10 hes so <33333

- What I think about their family

hank can go fuck himself <3 their dad makes for an interesting contrast to the two of them but i wish both of their parents had gotten the chance to be expanded on more. tragedy of all times

- Who I think should be their bff

i really would have liked to see don and hank become better friends w the other titans who were sidelined, like lilith, and mel. id kill for that actually.

- What animal they would be

.............................i dont need to answer this question

- Three songs that remind me of them

no <3

- Favorite episode/issue/thing centered around them

definitely the cringefail comic where he just fucked up absolutely everything but im also really fond of the hawk and the dove #2

- How badly they need hugs

so badly.

- Favorite thing about their personality

i love that hes every bit as headstrong and snippy as hank is, even tho hes a pacifist. like, yeah, he doesnt believe in violence, but he still gets pissed as hell all the time, and thats so fucking real tbh. ik part of the juxtaposition is bc dc wanted him to seem wimpy and cowardly but it is really fun to see him get humiliated and then STILL whip around and call hank a neanderthal like alsjdlfsndsdfnjsf

- Favorite thing about their appearance

sobbing. crying. hes so cute i love when they give him curls

the dove costume is BUTT UGLY but i do like the color scheme

- Why I love them so much

he had so much potential. it wouldve been so fascinating to see how dc handled a superhero who was a pacifist and believed strongly in criminal reform and peace. dc tried so hard to make him seem weak and unmanly that they would up creating a guy who didnt fit into the usual hypermasculine superhero archetype and that was just. fascinating, honestly. refreshing. i also just loooove a good angry leftist so you know me. hes just. SUCH a cringefail losergirl its impossible not to fall madly in love w him im going to be mourning what could have been for the rest of my fucking life

#asks #don hall is the love of my fucking life he is so babygirl to me #im so normal about it i promise #ashysiashy #dubiousfruitsalad #anyway pls read the hawk and the dove its only 6 issues and ehs so (sob)

ahsoka 1x05 post-mortem

just gotta start off by saying my heart is beating really fast rn. wow!!!!!!

it was lovely to see ahsoka with anakin again… i had missed their dynamic. instant serotonin boost every time he called her snips. plus, seeing flashbacks of the clone wars / siege of mandalore in live action… AAAAA!!! (also hi rex.)

my only criticism is i wasn’t exactly clear on what her final lesson was supposed to be. (i could absolutely be missing something obvious, but i watched it with my dad and he didn’t understand either.) she chose to live, yes, but are we assuming that post-malachor she had just…. given up? but she was still working closely with the new republic and had started training sabine… i don’t know. while the clone wars-era flashbacks were absolutely a treat to watch, i’m not sure i understood the larger point they were trying to make. (tbf i have not watched the clone wars in a while but still.)

i’m also not clear on why anakin was urging ahsoka to fight him… to confront her sadness and conflicted feelings? or was it just to show that she actually doesn’t want to fight? that being a jedi is not simply about being a warrior? but then how does that tie into the “i choose to live”… idk man

anyways, i love love LOVED everything with hera and jacen (and chopper ofc). the confirmation that jacen has jedi powers, the KANAN MENTION, learning that hera has told jacen all about the ghost crew and ezra’s sacrifice… my heart is happy. also that hug between jacen and ahsoka was very sweet.

i really appreciate that ezra’s presence is so clearly felt in this show, even if he’s not physically there. jacen knows ezra by name. baylan convinces sabine to give up the map for ezra. it’ll be that much more satisfying when we see him. (i HOPE it’s next episode. can we at least get like, a silhouette? a mysterious hooded figure? begging for crumbs at this point.)

back to hera for a sec. i just love her so much. huyang saying she does what she does because she cares, and that’s why people like her … 😭the new republic can strip her general status OVER MY DEAD BODY. you don’t deserve her!!! (also, a wild senator organa/leia mention! she and hera are friends i guess. luv that for them.)

after ahsoka’s journey in the world between worlds (or within her mind? we don’t know), now she gets a symbolic outfit change reminiscent of how she looked in the rebels epilogue. i gotta say i teared up a little as she communicated with the purrgil, with a beautiful sweeping rendition of her theme playing. she does seem lighter, somehow. more like the snips of old.

speaking of her outfit change i felt really uncomfortable seeing her without a headband for a few mins there. i’m sorry. it just seemed wrong.

also the purrgil… it was like yeah just go into my mouth…. don’t worry about it…….

ANYWAY!!! i am super pumped for next week so we can see what this other galaxy looks like. ezra we’re getting closer!!!!!

Year of Creation! Writing Edition!

Here’s some snips from the last year’s worth of writing!

January

This is from the first fic I was writing that I lost interest in which was a Roxy and Freddy swap AU where Roxy was your guardian and I changed basically every event in the game to be more interesting and fun

February

This is from ‘Faulty Management’ which is an AU where the owners of the Pizzaplex give up and just hand over all managerial roles to the animatronics.

March

This one is from Blender Roxy where uhh... yeah I have Roxy run away from being decommissioned and hide out in Gator Golf. I had big plans for that AU and a sequel to it but I lost interest :(

April

This one is from an ask game but I can’t find the original post for some reason :/ Basically, Chica gets to explore the outside world while Roxy misses her chance so Chica brings her back some flowers.

May

This one is from a fic called ‘Communication Error’ and it was originally a bit of a vent fic but turned into a fic focused on Roxy’s first few months in the Plex where her language processors are in dog mode and she doesn’t really understand what anyone is saying to her at all.

June

I didn’t write anything new in June so here’s a thing from ‘All I See Is Him’ which I probably worked on in June.

July

This one is from ‘Pupcakes and Popcorn’ which was a combination of prompts I got from people for some Pupcakes (Roxica) fluff.

August

Oh wow I can’t believe I started this in August. This is the Meteors AU that’s uh... just for fun really. The premise doesn’t make a lot of sense but once you get past it, it’s mostly fun, fluff, drama and traumatising capitalism! Lots of fun and can’t wait to work on it more.

September

This is apparently the only thing I didn’t immediately redo in September. It’s the script for a conversation between my Bonnie and @/thefazculethree’s Bonnie after the Bonnie Theft situation. I was drawing it but I lost interest. Basically, my Bonnie is just fucking around and the ‘kids’ he’s talking about are the Mini Music Men lmao

October

This is from the Zombie AU that’s very very loosely inspired by @/joshbruh10x‘s Zombie AU. I have two ‘Episodes’ for this AU in particular but I lost interest and have two way more interesting ones now, as well as countless other non-zombie AUs I like. I might go back and finish this one though. It’s a fun one! Lots of trauma!

November

Lmao this is from an unnamed fic that’s based on the idea that after the events of SB, Monty becomes afraid of heights and Roxy becomes afraid of the dark. Basically, they’re fucking around for a bit at the start before Monty has to go up on the catwalks and Roxy volunteers to go up for him instead. Once she gets up there, the lights go out because of the storm and well... yeah.

December

I haven’t written anything new in December, but I was working on this yesterday and this is an outtake from it! It’s from the Meteors AU that I’ve been messing around with on and off since I made it. I like this bit but it doesn’t fit at all with what I need for that particular part.

Anyway, that’s all! I’ll see you guys in 2023!

B99 Obsessive Rewatch Season Two

rewatching B99 and taking notes. also, sometimes i get ideas of stuff i wanna see played out more, so i post them as prompts and link them here. spoilers for all of season two.

2:1

Jake as an italian mobster kinda

Is this the first holt&jake hug we’ve seen?? Rayray doesnt even flinch so cute

Jake’s rapidfire recap : fixed a boxing match / smoked a whole cigar w/o vomitting / was in a room w/ 10 Sals

Jake lies to amy about liking her

Jake has “lady hands”

Holt says he’s seen MOVIES PLURAL

Awesome begins with an O, JP 2013 probably

“i am feeling trepidation at the prospect of a parentless existence” = baby holt’s parents had a thing when he was 7

Weirdest thing in the whole episode is mobster jake being beaten by a cop on mob turf and none of his mobster buddies helping out

Baby holt snuck into daddy holt’s office to check out his collection of antique globes = daddy holt issues ref above

Proud daddy holt. Forgot to note if it happened in s1 so we’ll consider this the beginning

Jake unlies to amy about liking her

Gina and boyle shag again

2:2

Terry’s getting snipped and gina is way creepy

Boyle has a sister (probs castle girl) that we never mention again?

Wunch appearance and holt is a dramatic shit i love him

Wunch&holt : wunch shot holt, holt tried to get her fired, wunch destroyed holts file while UC, holt embarrassed wunch in front of derrick jeater who??

Amy’s fierce when someone’s fucking with her career we stan

Charles has seen the little mermaid

Holt’s a great amy dad cause both of them are ambitious nerds

2:3

Jimmy jabs est.2008

Jake knows rosa’s friend katie (and s1 amy’s friend kylie – how the fuck)

Lots of parallels to FRIENDS. Accidental sex tape, two guys accidentally nap together, probs other stuff, where’s the downstairs officers brooming the ceiling?

Squad screams like maniacs in the bullpen and random background people literally dont even care – ie this is such a habit people are over it

Bomb suits kinda look like minions or is it just me

Hitchcock is evil – do we think he’s related to gina or what?

Amy wins

2:4

Halloween heist

Holt is a master jake player, all rejoice

Holt says watch from kevdad & kevdad dead

I want ginas jacket

Jake has cousins ie jake has aunties??

2:5

Trust levels off the charts. Leaping at terry, telling holt the truth and asking amy for help. Okay so that’s only jake but still

Wunch is evil

My man holt is sooo tense, how long do we bet till he blows up?

Amy is giving toddler mom vibes rn somebody give her a margarita

>> amy has to babysit some random kid and realises he’s identical to jake in behaviour

Im gonna need baby terry being a disco champion thing

>>Omg!! Holt caught the disco killer, maybe disco killer killed disco nerds, ie holt saved terry’s life!

Lmao kev passive agressive is my life

Holt is a regular holmes wtf

How did jake get guest pjs, im sensing a food/drink related accident which makes twice this episode with amy’s car

Holt&jake teaming up is my fave thing ever

Terry at a soccer game for his kids would be terrifying

2:6

I’m in love with jake’s “why am i an idiot” face

Amy goes to holt screeching “captain” like he’s her dad, i need an amy prequel series, i love her

Rosa’s really backhanded at compliments it’s awesome

So cops hate lawyers and firepeople?? Who are they buddies with? (except for the criminals eh)

Whats a pow wow?

Is this a “season’s main human-mess that needs holt guidance” thing? First was jake, this feels like amy’s

2:7

When did holt get stabbed IN THE NECK??

gina get off on chaos like a demon she’s evil

precinct lockdown ep – all of those people are terrible and i hate them

why does terry’s wife not care about her brother being a dick?

2:8

Terry and amy waterboard themselves for some reason

So cops hate mailpeople too

Forgot holt had a gambling addiction

Coping stuff : holt workouts / terry self torture wtf? / gina meditation

Jake&rosa friendship is great

2:9

Holt wants bland ugly food, like how picky can you get

How is jake inviting teddy to come a proof of teddy being romantic?

Note to self : never go to a themed hotel they’re haunted

“pb&js are so simple a child could make them” makes me see neglected baby holt making himself food as best he could >> tie in with no dad baby holt thingy

Rosa got possessed by the devil

Lessons : CB > RH cooking stuff (epic fail)

Wheres the award for the most awkward double date ever?

2:10

Doug judy’s back

Jake has no ability to hold grudges?

Doug judy’s got real nice teeth

Amy stand up to holt, holt likes

I’m not interested in the whole boyle/linetti storylines :/

2:11

Holt took all night to think of an insult for wunch but burns people left and right no problem >> my boy doesn’t actually hate her?? Omg is this some weird non-sexual game they play? Gross

Amy&rosa in a car for four hours? I need to see it

“uncle ray” talks about work so much even his NEPHEW knows who’s who. 1) was kev not there, because no cop talk policy 2) was he EFFUSIVE??

Most of what i’ve learnt from this watching session today is that i’m real hungry why do they keep eating

You know what’s inconspicuous? Two guys sitting in front of windows with massive cameras. Totes invisible

Jake&charles have a roomie breakdown, gina&amy have an existential crisis, terry is a mom and rosa&holt are ...there

Man i do NOT want to shag in my boss’ house, i mean rosa’s got her own flat, cmon

Kev making bacon smiles on his pancakes totes goes into my kev&holt get baby martin for holidays headcanon (see season one obsessive rewatch)

“this isn’t my first rodeo” jake abt dealing w/ scully >> fits into baby jake shadowing scully for junior cops thingy (also in s1 obsessive rewatch)

“brothers fight but they’re always there for each other” says the only child (fun fact, only jake and gina are only kids (except for maybe terry cause i can’t remember))

2:12

I love the amy drunkenness scale

A fondue stick in a fanny pack sounds like a disaster waiting to happen

Beachhouse w/ the boss episode

Amy&gina&terry get paired up lots

Why didn’t they turn the holt party into a movie night??

Au where boyle is a seduction coach

Gina turned not-evil for a second

2:13

Amy’s def of partner : bounce ideas, eat street meat & stake out, burnt coffee

Jake hasnt been to the dentist in seven years (at this point i’m thinking he was kidnapped and doesnt remember his season one dentist trip)

“it’s payback time” to the drug dealer who killed all of jake’s family

Gina’s got two grandmas

Charles want to have a bowling business

How do terry’s biceps have their own biceps???

Holt likes the name todd, didnt he have an ex called todd?

Isn’t yahooanswers dead? How does jake know stuff now?

2:14

If s1 is parenting Jake and teaching Amy independence, is s2 about parenting Amy and bonding with Rosa through evil humour?

Jake tells terry he loves sofia??

Rosa’s enemy marker-hoarder carla biancci in 2nd grade turned bully till grad

Jake tells sofia he loves her

Gina being a dick after saying something true – a trend?

Charles’ dad was a florist and now i want a classic flower shop romance

Sofia breaks up ouchhh

Eww gross wunch kissed holt i need brainbleach

Charles doesnt think his dad loves him?

2:15

Rosa’s parents are “smiley morons & hug freaks”. Did not seem like it in the coming out episode?

Second massive cop lasertag game thingy

Holt confused face implies he never saw titanic

Note to self try to make a blondie sometime

Holt apologises the next day for trying to disqualify gina from pers.test >> did kevin tell him his type didn’t fit him?

Gina thinks holt flirts with her so she’s a wunch but on their side?

2:16

“if u love s/o u’ll remember what they look like” but KEVIN HAS A PORTRAIT MATE

Oh this is the “i’m sorry you weRE STABBED” episode

I want marvin the geriatric bank robber to be buddies with gina??

Im lowkey upset that kevs buddies with gina tho, he’s not evil enough

Ray talks about jake to random waitresses and his painting teacher

Okay i get it, amy and charles are too simpy, rosa’s too unhinged, we don’t talk about hitchcock and scully, terry’s got his own shit, so that only leaves gina and jake and it cannot be jake, so. Yeah okay gina and kev are buddies

Ray called jake a genius just cause he heard him practice his holt impression, how cute

2:17

Jake’s a creepy girl stalker?? Poor jenny gildenhorn

Rosa has a grandad

Amy plays french horn

Jake answers amy’s proposal with “yes a thousands times yes”

MARCUS DVRs BONES THE HOLTCOZNER BEDROOM WEIRD DVR QUEUE SOLVED EXCEPT WHYS HE IN THEIR ROOM??

2:18

Dickhead peralta shows up, i hate him :(

Holt’s “unsolvable” riddle “There are 12 men on an island. 11 weigh exactly the same amount, but one of them is slightly lighter or heavier. You must figure out which. The island has no escapes, but there is a seesaw. The exciting catch? You can only use it three times.”

Jakes allergic to bees and dickhead knows about it

I’d go on a sudoku cruise too amy

Honestly this riddles fucking easy im so angry

Amy’s right tho, you do 6v6, one side’s heavier, then you divide that one 3v3, one side’s heavier, you do 1v1 and either they’re equal and the last one’s the heaviest or one of them’s already the heaviest

I cannot tell you how infuriated i get everytime im reminded of dickhead peralta’s later character arc.

2:19

s/o framing jake as druggie

spoiler its sofias druggie bossman

holt : “sarcasm the cowards lie” ouch

oh yeah also terry and holt missed ginas dance thing and shes upset

and also charles gotta work with the two giant babies

2:20

Jakes unhealthy obsession with his job episode 40 of 40

Rosa&holt scheming to avoid personal chats, relatable

Rosas dads a teacher, two sisters

2:21

Terrys looking into a new job and boyle gina holt get weird about it
