#all he can do is make sure soda and pony get theirs

[sparklingcid3r]

bc i like tb sad thinking about pony in college loving school and exceling but then coming home on holidays to see darry “getting old before his time” as the book says, and still working the same menial labor jobs he will forever. do u have hc for wut that was like for pony?

THISSSS oh my god you have no idea what you’ve done

Pony visiting home from college is probably such a bittersweet thing for him. He gets to show his brothers how well he’s doing, that their sacrifices are paying off in the best way possible. Soda’s thriving as well, splitting his time between the DX and maybe investing time toward getting his GED (upon Darry’s request, but it’s better than high school for him anyway).

Pony’s only gotten more observant since getting out of Tulsa and meeting people of so many different backgrounds. The first time he came home, he was shocked by how different Darry seemed, how he’d overlooked it growing up, or if it all simply accumulated over time, so quietly that he missed it. Now Pony sees it every time: the way Darry smiles seeing his brother outside the dorms as he picks Pony up, but his happiness has been eroded by long work days and an exhaustion that’s been ground into him over the course of years. It weighs his shoulders down and makes his steps fall heavy.

Pony does small assignments at the dinner table while Darry makes dinner. Sometimes he’ll look up, catch the way Darry’s hands have the most imperceptible shake to them as he handles the spaghetti in the strainer. Darry drops the ladle for the sauce and Soda pulls Pony aside before he can say anything, explains to him that they went to the doctor while he was at college, mentions carpal tunnel, most likely caused by the excessive hours spent hauling bundles of roofing around, working drills and other tools.

Everything becomes clear right before Pony’s eyes after that. The wisps of premature grays growing out right above Darry’s ears, his rough, calloused hands that press onto the wall or the table or the backs of chairs as he takes three, four, five seconds to orient himself once again.

Pony can’t stop the waves of guilt that crash into him whenever he glimpses that look Darry gets in his face when he thinks no one’s around to see. For just a moment, he sheds all the decades he’s yet to live but that have been iron-pressed into his body, and his eyes are young again, and they’re so tired.

Guilt gnaws at Pony’s bones, because he’s the reason for it, and because the only way he can escape it is by running from Darry all the way back to college, that dream that got pulled out right from underneath him.

Darry is the only one of them who is not where he wants to be. He’s twenty-four years old, and he’ll never truly be young again.

Little things the greasers do to make Christmas morning a little more special:

Darry: gets up extra early to make a chocolate cake, but he crushes up little candy canes and sprinkles them on top of the cake

Soda: drags everyone outside to have fun after they eat breakfast and spend the morning together

Ponyboy: he makes sure that everyone stays over on Christmas Eve so they can all wake up together on Christmas (especially Johnny, because pony knows if he doesn’t Johnny will sleep in the lot)

Johnny: he’s in the kitchen helping Darrel by making everyone hot chocolate (he knows how every single person likes theirs and makes it that way)

Dallas: pretends not to care at all but he actually is the one organizing what the entire gang is pitching in to get Darry as a present (he will deny it forever and plans to take this secret to his grave)

Steve: Goes out early to swing around the town and make sure that everyone who needs it has somewhere to go. (He will also stop by the Matthews house to check and see if Mrs. Matthews wants to bring over Two’s sister to be with them so she can have a little break)

Two-Bit: makes sure there is always a holiday cartoon on when everyone settles down together in the living room (he takes this job very seriously)

Ace: is given the mission of picking out the most hideous possible matching pajamas for everyone in the gang to wear on Christmas morning (technically Darry told her to just get matching pajamas, but she decided to pick the most ugly ones imaginable)

We need us some cowboy pony au hcs 😛🫶

yknow what i was focusing more on the shepards for this au but this is a great opportunity to focus more on pony and the gang😭😭

•the curtis bros’ guns r from their dad, all 3 of em have a different gun that they etched stuff on so they know its theirs

•instead of the gang being one big happy family before their parents died, it only happened after, the curtis parents didnt meet ANY of the gang</33. INSTEAD its like they travel, find someone and boom theyre in the gang!! in the order of who joined first, it was steve and johnny, then two, then dally!!

•the curtis bros turned into criminals bc their parents died and they couldnt afford to live in their house so they were kicked out and now theyre robbing for money!!! but theyre known for being more “gentlemanly” about it and thats how word started spreading about them

•angela is quite literally THEE only girl they got w em, everyone is protective of her in one way or another, especially cause hey, its the south and shes black, gotta look out for her🙏🏽

•pony somewhat romanticizes???? curly in his stories where he was talking about him fighting on ships, w all the sword fighting n what not

•ponys aim is REALLY good, its the best in the gang actually!! the gang will always make him shoot bottles n stuff as entertainment, during hunts for food pony has to go w em

•everyone in the curtis gang has their nickname when their off robbing, none of the public know their names (well they only knows dallys real name he made sure loud n clear that ppl knew his name)

•curly has to borrow a LOT of the gangs clothes until they find him some, tim also needs to but his main focus is curly when it comes to sharing that

•pony and curly have a game where they try to throw ponys lasso onto the other to cath them and then they pull em in, MAYYYYbe kiss a lil when they rope them in, at some point they stopped trying hard to get caught

•curly does the thing where he takes ponys hat to cover their face and kiss, if they get caught they just saw they were telling secrets

•the shepards arent part of their gang btw!! yes theyre w them but rlly its just for right now, at some point tim wants to go and live his own life w angela and curly to start their own life, or gang, or whatever else pops up, think of em as honorary members!!!

•let them share songs from their gang!! curly teaches pony pirate jingles and pony teaches curly songs his gang just came up w for funsies

•ik they all fought over where the shepards were sleeping when they first arrived, but they all agreed that pony gotta give up his tent and sleep w soda to give it to em

•there rlly is no hierarchy amongst the curtis gang, they all just do what they do and some r more important to some situations than others!! took a while for the shepards to find out what they can do, but so far fishing has been their strong suit, plus they introduced the gang to different foods and lord knows the curtis gang wanted that omg if they had soup or beans one more time they would kill themselves

•curlys not allowed onto most robberies, like i said before curly yearnnssss to b back in action and fighting, and that could get them in unnecessary trouble, plus tims whole reason of y they moved to the us was to get away from fighting. they brought him along once and they didnt like how it played out, so most likely, never again!!!

How You Met the Gang - Curtis Sister HC

Hey! I haven’t posted in awhile and I love Curtis Sister hcs, so here’s this. This is partly inspired by outside-the-fandoms post, so go check theirs out cause I love it sm.

Also I just watched Dirty Dancing like five times so prepare for more Darry hcs you big losers.

This is written from your point of view, your name is Maybell “May” Cynthia Curtis. You’re fifteen and were born on May 2nd, 1950. (I’m not into the whole ‘y/n’ stuff sorry y’all).

P.s this is written with my “How the Gang Met Hc” in mind. You can read that if you want a bit more context. :)

Darry:

Your mom used to tell you that your birth was the hardest one she’d had. Harder than Darry’s or Soda’s, even Ponyboy’s, who came after you. Pop said that it was cause you’re a chick and they just ‘come out different’.

Your pa was a riot. You can’t help but see how much him and Soda were -are- alike. Sure, Darry had his looks, but his personality was all Soda.

It was after your mom had given birth to you, she was screaming her guts out so loud that your dad said he was pretty sure all of Tulsa could hear her.

Your dad had to take care of your mom, leaving Darry to roam the room. Right before your mom when into labor, they left Soda at your grandparents place. They loved Soda to death, but there was no way they could take care of 18 month old while your mom was giving birth.

Darry, being five and generally well behaved, wanted to go so bad and begged so hard that your parents couldn’t say no. Because no one wanted a little sister more than Darrel Curtis Jr. And that was that.

The nurses had just taken you away from your mom, they needed to clean you off and rap you up. Pop recalled that she’d almost not let them do it. She just didn’t want to let you go.

When they had finished they left you in a crib next to your mom’s hospital bed. One of the nurses who had stayed with Darry during the actual birth walked him back into the room to stay with your parents. You immediately caught his attention. He walked over to you with wide eyes and put his tiny fingers over the rim of the crib. He stared at you for awhile before saying in a soft whisper,

“She’s beautiful, Ma.”

Sodapop:

When your parents finally came back from the hospital to pick up Sodapop and take you back to your new home, they decided to introduce you to the almost two year old Soda.

He said something that could only be recognizable as a jumble of words that vaguely sounded like “gaaaaabuH!”

If it makes you feel any better, his second word after ‘Momma’ was ‘Poopybell’. So, take that however you want.

But yeah, that’s the moment that Soda described as the “beginning to [his] comedy career”.

Ponyboy:

Your first encounter with Ponyboy is not much different. Being only a fresh 14 months and 20 days old at the time of his birth, you don’t quite remember when you first met your younger brother. But a huge fight between the Curtis family, still to this day, is wether or not your first words were ‘Pony’ or just a hiccup that your mother heard.

Steve:

You’ve known Steve almost all your life. Sodapop met him at the age of four and they were basically inseparable ever since. Which meant your entire family got real close to him real quick. You met him at around age two, going on three. Your mom invited Steve to stay over for dinner, and he smiled happily at the smell of the roast she had made. 

You, being at prime ‘forced to sit at the dinner table in your high chair’ age, was to do nothing but just sit there and eat. Steve had never seen you before, or Ponyboy, so he sat next to Soda and just stared at the two of you. 

“Hey, Soda?” Steve asked in his high pitched voice, all while he was still staring.

“Yeah, Stevie?” Soda said around a mouthful of pot roast.

“Those your kid siblings?” 

“Yup!” He smiled at Steve, his cheeks noticeably full with food. Steve giggled at the sight, and turned to take a bite of his own food.

Johnny:

Soda was in third grade, and you were in second when you met Johnny. Johnny, Steve, and Soda were all in the same grade, Steve and Soda just having met him. 

According to the man himself, Johnny always wanted little siblings. You and Pony where who he immediately gravitated to when he went to the Curtis Household for the first time. He even let you do his hair. 

Two-Bit:

Two-Bit was two years older than Soda when they started hanging out. Making him 3 almost 4 years older than you when you first met.

Two-Bit was raiding your pantry, when he turned around to see a young 8 year old girl eating soup at 3pm in the afternoon. 

He turned away from you to grab two straws and stick them up his nose. He faced you and began talking like a walrus. You were, to say the least, confused yet amused at his antics. 

“You’re doing it wrong,” You pointed out. You then got two straws of your own and put them in your mouth. “See, this is how you do it.” You said in a muffled tone as you pointed to the straws in your mouth.

The two of you where making walrus noises in funny voices for about five minutes when Two-Bit asked,

“You’re Soda’s kid sister, ain’t you?” His walrus voice still in full use.

“Yup, who are you?” Your walrus voice didn’t waver either, it was a contest you planned on winning.

“Two-Bit Mathews.” The voice was getting more ridiculous every time he talked.

You stopped, took the straws out of your mouth, and said in a genuinely curious regular voice, “Two-Bit? That’s your real name? Like, it says so on your birth certificate and everything?”

“Nope, uh, that’s just what people call me, cause of how funny i am. My real name’s Keith.” He was still using a full on accent and tried shaking your hand, which you didn’t take.

“That’s stupid. You shoulda just said that in the first place. I don’t like even like my name, who calls somebody ‘Maybell’? Besides, i like Keith way more than ‘Two-A-Piece’ or whatever.” You stood up, washed your soup bowl, and went back to your room. You had a town to run anyway. 

Two-Bit, or now, Keith took the straws out of his nose and just laughed, 

Dally: 

The beginning of 8th grade, that’s when you met Dallas Winston. He was a freshman with Soda, Steve, and Johnny, and they had just decided to hang out after school at your house with Two-Bit. 

“Who’s the broad?” Was the first thing he said when walking through the front door.

You were reading one of Ponyboy’s books on the couch. You hated to say it, but you understood why he loved these things so much. You looked up when he came into the living room, but then just ignored him. You’ve met plenty of guys like him.

“Dallas, meet my little sis!” Soda walked over to the couch and jumped on you with full force. You screamed, and laughed as you pushed him off of you.

“Hiya, Texas” You turned to him while still giggling. He gave a distasteful look at the nickname and nodded at you. He was a little cute, if you were being honest.

“Get out of the way, you bums! Mickey’s on!” Two-Bit took the place on the couch next to you and turned his attention to the tv. 

You weren’t sure if the boys were laughing or groaning, but hey, these dudes were like your brothers. Maybe if they thought Dally was cool, he wasn’t all that bad.

A Glitch in the (Ray Tracing) Matrix

Summary: Bruce Banner has a particular set of skills…

Tags: Bruce Banner & Peter Parker, Humor, Super Mariokart, Video Game Mechanics (a little), Bruce Banner kicks ass, Crackfic? Idk

Notes: For Day 2 of Bruce Banner Appreciation Week!

(AO3 link)

Tony, Peter and Clint were enjoying a rainy Sunday afternoon of chips, beer (soda for Peter) and Super Mariokart, when Bruce entered the common area to find a snack before returning to his lab.

“What are you guys playing?” he asked, approaching the seating area and opening a bag of freeze-dried blueberries that he’d taken a liking to since Tony had introduced him to them.

“‘What are we playing’?” Peter was incredulous. “Dr. Banner, you don’t know about Super Mariokart?”

Bruce observed the TV for a moment. “Looks like just a racing game.”

“I mean yeah, it basically is. But it’s so much more! Check this out.” Peter launched a red shell at Tony’s character, knocking him off the side of the track. Tony swore loudly.

“Why don’t you take a break, Bruce?” said Clint. “We’ll teach you to play.”

“Uh, no, I don’t think so. I’ll probably just embarrass myself.”

All three of them started encouraging him to join them.

“No, it’ll be fun!”

“Come on, take a break for a bit.”

“I bet you can learn to kick Mr. Stark and Mr. Barton’s butts in no time.”

“Now hold up, kid.” Clint looked mock-serious. “Bruce is good at a lot of things. He’s the smartest person I know—”

“Hey!” Tony protested.

“But this game isn’t about brains. It’s about wit, and skill. You and Tony almost never beat me. What makes you think Bruce will?”

Peter shrugged. “He’s a fast learner.”

Tony turned to Bruce. “Whaddya say, Bruce? Care to give it a shot?”

Bruce looked noncommittal. “I don’t know, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do in my lab.”

“It’s Sunday!” Tony beckoned him over to the couch. “Live a little.”

Bruce hesitated, but finally gave in. “Alright. But you guys have to be patient with me until I get the hang of it.”

“Fine.” Tony moved over to make room for Bruce, and handed him his own controller. “You versus Clint.”

“Alright! This should be easy.” Clint looked rather smug. “Fifty bucks says I can lap him by the end of the race.”

“You’re on,” Tony readily replied. “I’ve got a little more faith in him than that. I say you beat him by less than half a lap.” He turned to Peter. “You want in? You can bet five bucks or something. How much do you think Clint will beat Banner by?”

Peter thought a moment. “My money’s on Dr. Banner.”

Tony and Clint burst out laughing. Bruce just looked uncomfortable.

“Someone has to put a bet on him. It would be mean not to.”

“Thanks, Peter,” Bruce said with a kind smile. “I’ll pay you back any money you lose.”

Clint shrugged at Peter’s reckless bet. “Alright, your loss. Pony up, you two, let’s see it.”

Peter and Tony opened up their wallets and pulled out five and fifty dollars, respectively. Clint added his fifty dollars to theirs and put it on the table.

“OK, Peter, how does this work?”

Peter gave him a quick rundown of the controls, and explained the most common items. “Other than that, just go fast! And don’t fall off the edge of the track.”

Clint brought up the screen for him and Bruce to choose their characters and karts. Peter walked Bruce through it, advising him to pick the Tanooki Mario character. Clint chose his trusty favourite, Yoshi.

The intro music to the race began playing, the camera panning around to show off the features of the track.

“This looks…complicated.” Bruce seemed even more uncertain than before. “Sorry, Peter. You probably should have bet against me.”

“It’s alright, it’s only five bucks. But I have faith in you!”

Tony snorted.

The starting signal sounded, and the race began. Yoshi shot forward in a rocket start. Bruce pressed the wrong button and Tanooki Mario started driving backward.

“No, no, press Y to go forward! Y!” shouted Peter.

“Right. Sorry!” Bruce finally started driving in the right direction, but was swerving badly. Clint was already very far ahead. Peter groaned.

By the top of the second lap, Bruce was still in last place, and Clint in first.

“Dr. Banner, you’re supposed to hit the question blocks, not avoid them! That’s where the items are!”

“Hey, no helping him, kid, that’s cheating,” said Tony.

“Bah, let him,” said Clint. “He could use the help.”

But halfway through the second lap, something strange happened.

Tony blinked. “Wait—Banner, did I just see you do a power glide? Pete, you didn’t tell him about that.”

“Yes he did.” Bruce spoke up for the first time since the start of the race. “Last week. The same day he showed me how to draft.” Suddenly, Tanooki Mario sped forward in a burst of speed after drafting behind Dry Bones, the computer character in second last place. “But I found this glitch in the track on my own when we were playing two days ago.”

“Glitch?” both Tony and Clint asked at once.

Suddenly Tanooki Mario did a hard skid around a corner, but just before spinning out, he veered toward the edge of the track, falling off toward the water. But instead of being rescued by Lakitu’s fishing line, he fell into the water…and materialized on the track in sixth place, up from eleventh place a second ago.

“What the hell?” Clint shouted.

Tony’s jaw dropped. “What in god’s name just happened? Banner, what the hell did you do?”

“Well,” began Bruce, maddeningly calm despite the sudden turn in his fortune, “when I was playing this course with Peter the other day, I noticed that the way the ray tracing was done in that section of the track had light rays from two origin points intersecting.” Tanooki Mario picked up a Torpedo Ted item, which, well, torpedoed him from sixth place to fourth. “I hazarded a guess that it was a transition point between two consecutive sections of the course. These kinds of video game levels are usually coded in section blocks.” A carefully-aimed green shell from Tanooki Mario sent Bowser spinning out of control, bringing Bruce to third place. (“How did he do that with a green shell?” shouted an incredulous Clint.) Bruce continued: “A bit of reading showed me that programmers will often optimize a game by leaving those transition points empty, meaning the regular game physics don’t apply.” Tanooki Mario was rapidly gaining on Waluigi, the character in second place, and soon he was the perfect distance away for drafting. “With a bit of practice, I figured out how to aim at the invisible line separating the two sections of the course, which teleported me about a quarter of the way around the track. To the beginning of the next section block.” Tanooki Mario blasted past Waluigi thanks to his well-timed drafting. Bruce was now in second place. “Really, it was just observation, and a cursory knowledge of physics and linear algebra. No wit required.” He gave Clint a brief sidelong look.

Tony nudged Peter on the shoulder a little harder than necessary. “You guys hustled us!”

“I beg to differ,” said Peter. He smiled deviously. “I don’t recall Dr. Banner actually saying he didn’t know how to play. You two just assumed he couldn’t.”

Tony frowned, clearly dissatisfied with that answer. He turned back to the race. It was close, but Clint was still ahead.

“You’re still in first place, Barton. It’s too late to lap him. But if you win by less than half a lap, I win my bet. Don’t screw it up, and I’ll give you twenty bucks back from your bet.”

“Deal.”

But two thirds of the way through the third lap, Bruce landed three red shells from an item block. As both Tony and Clint emitted a long, comical “Nooooooo!” Bruce released the shells with perfect timing, sending Yoshi skidding off a ramp and into the water as Tanooki Mario glided past him and crossed the finish line in first place with an easy lead.

Bruce dropped his controller like a mic and held one hand out to the side, high-fiving Peter without even looking. He and Peter stood up, gathering the $105 from the coffee table.

“Your original five back,” said Bruce, handing the bill to Peter, “and your half of the spoils.” He gave him one of the fifty dollar bills.

“Pleasure doing business with you,” Peter replied.

Tony hadn’t spoken yet. He was giving Clint a murderous stare. Clint was still staring at the TV screen in disbelief, his mouth agape.

“Pizza?” Bruce asked Peter, waving his fifty in an offer to pay.

“Pizza,” echoed Peter. They left the room together.

The click of the door closing snapped Clint out of his daze. He turned and pointed an accusatory finger at Tony.

“You.”

“Excuse me?” Tony batted Clint’s finger away from his face. “ You were playing. Where was your ‘wit’ and ‘skill’?”

“He’s your best friend. How could you not tell he was hustling you?”

“Hustling us,” Tony was quick to clarify. “And anyway, I had the most reasonable bet. You only had to beat him by a second, tops, and I would’ve won!”

“No one can dodge three red shells in a row, Tony.”

“Hnh,” was Tony’s noncommittal reply.

“That Peter,” began Clint. “He’s having a bad influence on Banner. I’m sure this whole hustle was his idea.”

Tony gave him a sidelong look. “I think you’re right. We should keep an eye on them when they’re together.”

“Or they’ll have more laughs at our expense.”

“Right.” Tony looked back at the door through which Bruce and Peter had just left.

“I’m also a little hungry…” Clint began.

“We should start keeping an eye on them right away. You never know what they might get up to without supervision.”

“Think we can catch them before they leave for pizza?”

“You just want pizza,” Tony accused.

“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”

They looked at each other for a second. Then without warning, they both jumped up from the couch at exactly the same time and headed for the door.

“Fri, tell our scammers to wait in the lobby.”

“So how are we going to get them back?” asked Clint as they stepped into the elevator.

“I’m working on it.” Tony crossed his arms and regarded Clint with narrowed eyes. “I’m thinking physics lessons. For you.”

“Excuse me?”

“If you had more knowledge of video game physics and less of that ‘wit’ you were going on about, you would’ve won. You have only yourself to blame, really. First lesson tomorrow, nine a.m.? Linear algebra refresher.”

“Stark, I swear to god,” Clint threatened as the elevator doors closed.

Yo can I have headcanons/short scenario for the gang finding out their girlfriends were injured and in the hospital? (Each character's girlfriend got injured in their own way, they were jumped, car crash, abuse, attempted suicide, etc.)

okay, so this might suck so sorry in advance. also, i’m not sure if this is what you want, it might be too fluffy, so i’m so so so sorry :( hope you like it!!

warnings: abuse & suicide & swearing

sodapop: it had been two days since the incident. on wednesday, you were working late so soda, being the amazing boyfriend he was, decided to cook dinner for you. it smelled great, however, soda unfortunately forgot about your major peanut allergy. the grilled chicken he made contained peanut oil, which had caused you to pass out cold. you didn’t realize what was happening until you woke up two days later in the hospital with soda by your side. when you first opened your eyes, soda shed a few tears. it had scared him so much to see you pass out, and to have all the medical equipment strapped up to you to help you breathe. he was so glad that his baby was okay, but also very guilty.“baby, i’m so sorry. i’m such a bad boyfriend, i don’t deserve you, i’m so so sorry you had to go through that, i will never forgive myself,” he said, tears in his eyes.you giggled and caressed his soft cheek, “soda don’t say that. i love you with all mu being and i am so lucky to have you.”he gently took your hand and kissed it, promising himself he would never do that again.

dally: you ran as fast as you could out of that house. you were never going back. you have had enough of your father mentally beating you up, but tonight, it was physical. your nose was bleeding and you had a black eye. you had no idea where you were going but you just wanted out. out of this town, out of your life. suddenly, you remembered dally and ran to bucks. you and dallas weren’t dating, he always was sleeping around with some girl or other but you were definitely best friends and had a strong emotional connection. you watched out for him and he did the same for you. you two would do anything for each other, but none of you would ever admit it. by the time you got to bucks, something was up. your head felt weird and your eyes felt sunken. everyone stared at you weird while others backed away. maybe it was worse than you thought…“holy shit y/n, what happened to you?! we cmon lets go to the hospital, this is pretty bad. holy shit, what the fuck happened?”“it was my father he-”dally’s grip tightened around your shoulders as he lead the way out of buck’s.“look y/n, it makes me so mad what he does to you. you deserve so much more you know that? you could do so much more for the world and i have no fucking idea why he can’t see that. he can’t beat you up like that, its fucking wrong, you know i’m so mad right now! say the words, y/n, say the words, and he’ll be out of your life forever.”dally began to say something else, completely enraged, but suddenly everything became blurry and quiet until everything was black and silent.you woke up the next morning, surprisingly, dally was beside your side. there was a big bandage across your head and your mouth had a weird taste, like medicine.“jesus, you’re awake,” dally said.“guess i am.”“look y/n, i was real worried about you and it just made me realize-”“-yeah?”i had feelings for dallas as long as i could remember. sometimes it seemed like he did too, but with dally, you never really knew.“it made me realize how much you mean to me. how upset i’d be if you died you know? and i can’t even believe im saying this, it sounds like something fucking ponyboy would say.”you smirked.“what?” he asked, you could sense he was worried.“kiss me.”

ponyboy: you heard the brake slam. your head hit the wheel. it seemed like you heard everything. the smashing of the glass, your car hitting theirs, but the most dominating of all was your screams. and everything went black.“she’s what? what happened?”pony felt like his heart stopped when he received the phone call from dally. he felt his fingers getting numb. y/n? his y/n? in the hospital? no. he just was with her 20 minutes ago! this can’t be happening. pony couldn’t feel his voice anymore. he ran out of the house, straight to the hospital.“Y/N! Y/N!” he shouted as soon as he burst into the room you were.the nurse soon had him held down, telling him you were okay, but he needed to stay calm.“ponyboy. pony, i’m alright. i’m so happy you came, it was so scary, i-”“-shhh, honey. you need to rest. im here now,” he said putting his hand on your chest and began to calm down, realizing his babygirl was okay.

steve: you knew you should be scared when you heard the footsteps. you knew it wasn’t my type greasers, and you were scared. “what’s up babyyyy..” one of them said, obviously drunk.“s-st-stay away from me,” you imagined it would be more confident in my head, but when you said it out loud it probably just sounded like a lost little puppy. your heart was beating really fast now.before you knew it they were beating me up, and beating me good. there were 4 of them, against you. you were pretty small and looked younger than you were. there was blood all over the place.“let go of her!” was the last thing you heard before everything went black.you arose a couple hours later with a nurse by your bed.“where the hell am i?” you asked groggily.she gently smiled and said, “hello, y/n, i’m your nurse and from what i’ve heard, you got beat up pretty badly, i’m so sorry to hear about that.”everything came flooding back to me at once, as i felt the large bandage on my arm.“and honey, there was this young man really worried about you, in tears even. he felt so bad, i’m gonna go call him over right now.”steve? steve was worried about you? steve was the only one who would be, he’s your boyfriend. you felt content at the fact that steve was worried.on cue, steve burst through the doors.“baby! y/n! are you okay? holy crap, i’m so sorry i wasn’t there walking you home. this is all my fault-why are you smiling, did they put you on some drug?”“no stevey, i just love you so much.”“definitely some drug.”

johnny: (hey, i usually don’t feel very comfortable doing this, but just this one time. i’m so sorry if this offended you in any way, but there was a warning. i deal with this sort of stuff everyday and if you need someone to talk to, you can always, ALWAYS talk to me.) nothing was okay anymore. everything was falling apart. you cried and cried until you couldn’t cry anymore. “love, love, are you okay?” my boyfriend johnny asked, obviously concerned, nervous & distraught. shit. no. johnny did everything for me, he was my everything. he can’t see me in this state, he can’t. it’ll hurt him too much.“i-i-i’m sorry…i-i-just-..”he grabbed me and buried his face into the crook into my neck.“y/n cakes, tell me what’s wrong. i love you so much you know that.”i was hysterical, but he’s seen me like this before and he knew what was up.“baby, don’t think like that. you know i could never live without you. i need you. i love you so much.”i cried even more, how did i deserve him?he picked my up bridal style, and carried me to the hospital.

two bit: you ran to the bathroom, for the eighth time today, barfing over the toilet.your boyfriend, two-bit, rushed in after you. “y/n. maybe we should go to the hospital, this doesn’t look too good…” two said for the hundredth time today, but this time you agreed. you felt horrible.he brushed your hair and kissed your sweaty forehead, and guided you over to his car.as soon as you hit the hospital bed, you fell asleep. it was deep and peaceful. thank god, when you woke up you felt better. they gave you some nasty tasting medicine, and two rubbed your chest while you took it. it really helped that he was with you, he cracked jokes that made you feel better, and he was incredibly caring.“you doing better, buttercup?” he asked with a playful smirk on his face.“you betcha, keith.”

darry: the pan sizzled as you inhaled the amazing scent of garlic chicken you were cooking. suddenly, your hand slipped and the pan fell onto your left foot with a crash.a string of loud profanities left your mouth as tears escaped from your eyes. GOD, that hurt a lot.soda, who was the only one home immediately rushed into the kitchen.“y/n are you alright? holy crap, that does not look good. ummmm, lets take you to the hospital and then we’ll call darry. dang, y/n i’m so sorry man that looks bad.”he said while you were sobbing and hopping on one leg. he supported half of your weight as he dragged you to their car.the nurse had put some numbing medication on your foot and bandaged it all up. it still burned, but it sure as hell felt better than it did before.soda was on the phone with darry now.“darry, yeah, so basically, y/n was cooking and the hot pan fell on her foot and she’s in the hospital. okay, it aint my fault, and its not her’s either! it was an accident!”“hey, y/n, dars really worried. he’s gonna be over in 5.”i gratefully smiled.darry came sooner than i expected. he was real worried and was pacing and jumpy.“dare bear!”“y/n, don’t pull that crap with me. god i feel awful. i’m so sorry i had to work late. GOD that is a hue bandage. does it hurt anymore, shit.”“darry, i’m okay now, calm down. i’ll be able to go tonight and i’ll only be on crutches for two days. i’ll be okay so just relax,” then you added, “i love you.”he softened and sat next to me, while we spent the whole day talking while he drew shapes on my bare shoulder.

Origins: The Show

Despite the nightmare that flying to Ohio seems to be, we did eventually reach Columbus.  Jason Paul McCartan of Infinibadger Press was waiting in the airport for us - some of you may recall that he and I are engaged in a #PonyWar of exceeding viciousness. This was the first time we'd met in person, and he'd driven to the airport multiple times over the preceding two days expecting to pick us up. When we piled into the car with our stuff, we found a crocheted pony waiting for us. Apparently the Badger's wife decided that she wanted to be a party to the #PonyWar, too. Steph and I were delivered safely to our hotel, and we thanked Badger several times. "It's no big deal," he told us, "You're family." We heard that a lot over the weekend from a number of folks. Thursday morning, we hit the exhibit hall fairly early.  The usual plan is "Do one pass without spending money and then go back later to spend."  And we mostly stuck to it.  We went back to the room and talked about every purchase we made at the entire show. We ran into Stephan Brissaud pretty early - he's the VP of GAMA, and is the guy in charge of Iello US. He's also someone I worked with when he was with Asmodee (in fact, he's the one who first asked me to join their demo team). We knew CMON was at the show, but we didn't see them in the exhibit hall, which confused us.  We later went back and found them in the gaming area next door.  It was Pete and Ruby and a ton of the Asmodee Demo Team in that booth.  They were all glad to see us. "You're part of the family," we were told several times. I played Gekido: Bot Battles, and enjoyed it enough to pick it up. It's not a deep game, but it's fun. It's too long to be filler, but it's a decent enough warm up / cool down game. There are a few unexplained timing issues in the rulebook, but I expect CMON will publish a FAQ soon enough. Pete co-designed a game with Richard Launius that I knew was going to be available at the show, so I asked him where to get it. "I'll show you," he said, and walked Steph and I over to the Indie Boards & Cards booth.  There were only a few games in the booth, but I looked straight at Pete and asked him which game was his. I managed to keep a straight face, too, so it took him a minute before he realized I was pulling his leg.  The look on his face was priceless.  I later got him to sign my copy. Steph and I got a sneak peek at the upcoming Cutthroat Caverns expansion. Cutthroat Caverns is one of those excellent games that I don't get to play very often. Everyone has to work together to overcome the obstacles, but only one player gets to win the game. It's very Republic of Rome or Castle Panic in that respect. The new expansion looks meaty and flavorful and awesome. I walked past the Asmodee area a couple of times. It was really weird, because I didn't recognize a single person there. Not one. The crew were wearing a mix of uniforms - some were Asmodee shirts from years past, and some were wearing Fantasy Flight Games' "Flight Crew" shirts. But it wasn't uniform, and it (sadly) looked sloppy. While wandering the hall, I kept getting stopped by people, too. "Hey, Eric," I'd hear, "You taught us to play [GAME] a few years ago, and you recommended [OTHER GAME], and we loved it. What are you teaching this year? Any new suggestions?"  Random people who I only vaguely recognized, because when you run 200 demos at a show, there is almost no way you will remember all of the faces. I also demoed Rise of Tribes. It was decent enough, but I wasn't sure so I took Steph back the next day to check it out and she liked it enough to back. They'll be funding the day after this post is scheduled to go live, so if you're thinking about backing, look quickly. "Kickstarter," is another of those words I heard a ton at the show.  "We just funded on Kickstarter," or "We're launching the Kickstarter for this shortly," or "The Kickstarter is live now," or (in a few cases), "We're currently fulfilling our Kickstarter for it, with retail copies hitting distribution shortly." The number one question, by the way, that we asked at every booth was, "Are you in distribution?" Because getting books and games home from a show can be a huge pain, and we'd rather pay a bit more and support our Friendly Local Game Store.  If they were in distribution, we usually grabbed a business card and moved on. I also demoed The Supershow. This game was not for me. I figured that out a few turns in, but gave it a full game just to make sure. It's because the game was so random. It's theoretically possible for one player to never get a turn.  Unlikely, but possible. And dice hate me. Thursday evening, I went out for drinks with the Badger and discovered that I like Scottish Ale. Since I'm not a fan of beer in general, this is a useful thing to know. Friday was more of the same, only we ran into Carol (formerly of Asmodee, now with CMON). Her face lit up and she gave us both big hugs.  She almost didn't recognize me initially, but she definitely recognized Steph.  Later in the booth, she introduced us to a few of the new people, and added, "They're part of the family." I almost wanted to grab a CMON shirt and start working then and there, because it's a weird thing not having a set schedule at a con. Steph and I demoed Onitama, which put it on my list to get eventually. It'd be higher on the list, but Steph beat me pretty quickly. It also has an expansion out now.  It was a surprisingly-deep game given how fast it was to teach and play. I'd been meaning to check out Dropzone Commander since our booth was across the aisle from theirs at GenCon a few years ago, so I got a chance to sit down and play a demo.  The game has a lot going for it, but it was just a bit too fiddly for me. I definitely understand all the love it gets, though. The role specialization of each unit means that larger armies than the starter box will be significantly more interesting to play, but since no-one locally plays it, I'd need to buy whatever armies I wanted to play with or against. Or convince a friend to buy in, but that gets expensive for them, too. That's how the whole weekend went, honestly.  On Sunday, the CMON crew invited us to join them for dinner, but Steph was asleep and I was pretty peopled out. Otherwise we absolutely would have joined in because they are family. Over the course of the show, five different publishers/teams asked if we'd be interested in joining their demo team for GenCon or PAX Unplugged or even next year's Origins. Or other shows.  Apparently we have a rep of some sort. I almost want to eBay our services, just to see what kind of attention we can get (probably not much - getting approval to bid on eBay through your corporate office is not an easy thing to do). On Monday, Badger picked us up and we headed to Bob Evans for lunch.  He'd been raving about it for a while, and we don't have them locally.  It was good, but I don't like it as well as he does.  It's like a cross between Shari's and IHOP. After lunch, we headed to the airport for the trip home. While on the way there, Steph's phone rang.  Our flight had been delayed.  When we reached the airport, we learned that it'd been delayed enough that we were going to miss our connection in Minneapolis, so we needed to be rebooked. "I don't know what I can do," said the gate agent, "Because this is a United ticket."  We were booked to fly Delta.  Apparently when we bought the tickets, United sold us tickets on a Delta flight. I don't know if I mentioned it in our last travel post, but we booked First Class, because I had never flown First Class before. I wanted to know what it was like. After a bit of hemming and hawing and calling a supervisor, he got us rebooked to fly through Detroit instead on a flight that was supposed to be boarding right away.  So we grabbed our tickets and got through security as quickly as we could.  We got to the gate and discovered that the flight had been delayed.  In fact, that flight had originally been scheduled to leave before 11:00 that morning. It was now 3:00 pm. Suddenly, we were in danger of missing our connection in Detroit. But we got free (room-temperature) soda, water, and snacks. After about 40 minutes, we were able to board. There were only five passengers going to Detroit at that point, everyone else having rebooked.  Spell check, by the way, hates the word "rebook," and it's very distracting. Steph and I got off the plane and rushed to make our connection. I know I haven't mentioned this before, but Steph uses a cane to get around sometimes. Monday was one of those days. We got to the correct gate as they were about to start boarding. And ... we lost our First Class status, but we got onto the plane. We were going to be home a few hours ahead of our original schedule, so it was a mixed bag. This sums up my thoughts pretty well:

We got home and just collapsed. It was an exhausting day, and an exhausting trip altogether. A decade ago, I told someone "Origins is where you go to play games, GenCon is where you go to buy them."  And I stand by that statement.  There were no RPG dealers in the exhibit hall. There were RPG Publishers, but the shops that were there were all minis and board game shops.  In fact, it was impossible to buy D&D books at the show (despite an official presence there). It's probably for the best, otherwise one of the Badger's children would now own Tails of Equestria. And we would have needed a new ride to the airport. I want to go again, but it really depends on a number of factors. I guess we'll see. from Blogger http://ift.tt/2uJXWjp via IFTTT

Akitaru: "Hmm...Well, if they have said something about really liking me, I'd say I'm not interested, and if they don't take the hint after that, I would avoid them--and if you can't, have someone with you to be safe." shinra: i guess that would make sense.... i mean, he seems pretty sincere and harmless, but given all the stuff that's happened recently, with joker and the hooded people, im a little on edge....besides, im still figuring things out on the inside, if you know what i mean...

Bakugo: "Yeah. This is so stupid. I'm probably going to have to do all the work." denki: or maybe not, from what i've heard, she's pretty hardworking. she's kind of like the 'big sis' of class 1-B. Bakugo: "Class 1B? That's hardly impressive--those students barley register." denki: .....!!! *alarmed at someone watching them* Bakugo: "What's with you?" denki: owo *sweats* so did you heard about what happened to that guy kishiri in the movie theater? pretty hilarious stuff right there! Monoma: *STARE* Bakugo: "No, what happened to that jerk?" Monoma: *creeping closer behind Bakugo, who doesn't notice, while Denki can see him* denki: apparently he sat right on his soda, and it looked like he peed himself! Bakugo: *small laugh* "Moron. And he wonders why people think he's--" *LOUD BREATHING* Bakugo: "???" denki: *sweats and short circuts, fainting* awawawawawawawawaaaaaaa Bakugo: "...What the hell got into him?"

So, where we going to prep for this assignment?" itsuka: maybe we could go to the library? seems as good a place as any? Bakugo: "Makes sense. The school library or another one?" -from behind one of the skull front's 'teeth'- Monoma: *"V" frowning at them* "Stupid hotheaded jerk...I can't let him work with Itsuka!" kirika:....the fuck is _his_ problem? Gopher: "I agree. He seems really uptight and creepy." kirika: oi, blondie, what the fuck is your deal, staring at people like a goddamn weirdo? kotone:.................. Monoma: o_O "Shhh! I'm trying to be covert and not draw attention to myself!" Bakugo: *far away, hears it* *sweatdrop* kirika: yeah, i admit, bakugo has a serious stick up his fucking ass, whats your excuse? Monoma: "1B students should not associate with such irresponsible 1A students! They are corrupting, dangerous, leave destruction everywhere--" kirika: dude....are you fucking crying right now? Monoma: Q_Q "...No?" kirika: really? the wetness on your face says otherwise.....(thinking: that was a weird thing to say -_-; ) kotone:......*cowering behind gopher* Gopher: *patting Kotone* "It's okay, don't worry...Just stay behind me if that helps..." Monoma: "I AM JUST FEELING A LOT OF THINGS!" *starts running away...in plain view of Itsuka and Bakugo* Bakugo: "...Is he your boyfriend or something?" itsuka: _ex_boyfriend, yeah. dont get me wrong, we're still on good terms.....but i think he may have taken it a little too hard.... Bakugo: "Ah...Well, thanks for that info. Makes it easier knowing what the hell is going on. Come on, let's get going." itsuka: right. *she smiles and walks with him* Bakugo: "So, what do you know about this thing?

Hibana: "...Oh, dear..." *pats Shinra's shoulder* "I'm sorry." shinra: q-q Iris: *around the corner, eavesdropping* Hibana: "...You're young. And this is your decision--that you get to take all the time you want. You don't even have to date anyone. This is your life and no one else's. But be honest, even if that is to say 'I don't know.'" shinra:....i really dont.... Iris: "..." *covers her face* Hibana: "Then that's all you do know right now. Be patient with yourself, and don't take crap off of others. I'm sorry for being so abrupt when I got here...but I do think you have to be honest with Iris and this boy that you don't know right now." shinra: ......*he nods* Hibana: *hugs him* "You'll be okay." shinra:....i should say something to iris- Hibana: *lets go* "Go on..."

Iris: *hugs back* "I am too. I didn't think how....much of a struggle this can be for you." shinra:.....*tiny blush* Iris: "I want what everyone here wants: for you to be happy." shinra:....*small smile* thanks...i want you all to be happy too....

Just a joke after Shinra helped me earlier today." *forced laugh* "Um...How about 'Salamandastron'? It means 'Mountain of the Fire Lizard.' Kind of fiery, right?" mikami: how about 'Buttons'? Relan: "Why 'Buttons'? I mean, that's cute..." ryuuko: i agree, it's adorable. Relan: "..." *holds the rat in his hands* " 'Buttons.' Does that name work for you?" buttons: ^w^ Relan: *smiles, puts him on his shoulder* "Okay, Buttons it is!" mikami: *she smiles* im sure we can find a cage for him to live in... Relan: *nods* "That would help. Thanks!" -elsewhere- Hibana: *walking away from the 8th and back home, tugging some of her hair lightly* "Can I tell you something, Gabriella?" gabriella: what is it? Hibana: "When you suplexed Shinra..." gabriella: s-should i not have done that? Hibana: "...I think we were both a bit rough on him, and that's my fault. I think we should apologize to him...but that wasn't the only thing I wanted to say..." gabriella: oh? o///o Hibana: *blushing, tugging her hair still* "...I didn't realize you were that strong." gabriella: well.... i-i have been practicing. Hibana: "It paid off...You're so amazing. Do you...want to spar some time?" gabriella: i-i suppose if its ok with you, i could fit it in...
