So... about season 3 Aki.

Ok harsh contrast to my previous, excited post, but I did say I had more to yell about episode 75 and I need to get this off my chest anyway. Plus, I remember mentioning in a post that I need to talk about season 3 onward Aki anyhow, so might as well do that now! I am thinking Big Thoughts and I need to Scream.

Long, incoherent, unhinged rant incoming because I have 100 things to say and 100000 screenshots to post, but I am also tired and my brain is mush.

Can we please talk about all the jarringly unfulfilled setup the start of season 3 did for Aki? Because I'm starting to feel an urge to claw at the walls. I'm gonna go through this, piece by piece of damning evidence, because I need to vent my utter confusion and frustration somehow, I guess. Okay. So.

After giving us a bit of time to settle in after the timeskip into the pre-WRGP stretch of things, the itty-bitty portion of the story Aki occupies at this point starts off arguably strong. Yusei gets kidnapped, everyone's in a frenzy about it, but Aki's especially worried.

Then this. Funky new signer powers! Nobody's been able to do this before! I wonder if they're going to do something with that! (Spoiler: They're not.)

Then Aki "no sense of self-preservation" Izayoi gets herself in a bunch of danger trying to rescue Yusei and we get this:

Oh! Wow! Aki can control her powers now! (Which: how. Why did they never show us this. That alone could have made for a whole mini-arc. Why waste that????) That would give the writers so many cool opportunities to let her use them! I wonder if they're going to do something with that! (Spoiler: They're not.)

(Side note: I love this scene. I love it to death. They're both ride-or-die "who cares for my safety when yours is on the line" for each other and I love them.)

Of course, shenanigans then ensue, leading up to Sherry's marvellous introduction.

(Mwah. I blow her a little kiss.)

And it is at this point that Aki Has An Epiphany.

And to top it off, she gets some interesting interactions with Sherry, too!

So Aki resolves that she wants to become a turbo-duellist, too. And the thing is, this isn't a little one-off thing or something they never deliver on. They end up building this up for several episodes, bit by bit. First we get another mention of it at the pre-WRGP press thingy they all attend:

Then it's brought up again when Yusei accepts the first duel against Bruno/Antinomy:

(Also, side note again, but can I just mention that Aki also gets this moment the episode before:)

(Where she literally puts herself directly in harm's way in a public setting to protect people with her powers??? Like, I'm sorry, pinch me or something, but how does that not scream "badass good girl setup"???? HOW?)

So we get at least three episodes worth of buildup where Aki agonizes over becoming a turbo duellist to understand what her friends (but especially Yusei) are feeling when they duel like that, and then they finally deliver on it and episode 75 has her getting her license. And it's fantastic. Seriously. That episode is golden. Not just because it delivers on this promise, not just because it has a really cute moment between Aki and Yusei in it (regardless of how you read their relationship dynamic), and not just because it (as per my last post) showcases how much the rest of Team 5Ds cares about Aki (by literally building a runner for her and accompanying her to her exam and don't even get me started on Jack beating up those jerks trying to make her crash unprompted) but because it gives us just that smidgen more detail about Aki's character, too. Because the thing is, at first, she majorly sucks at driving.

And not only is this realistic to a degree (learning to drive is hard, regardless of what you're learning to drive), it's also great, because you know what Aki's response to it is?

She keeps going. She doesn't let it get her down, she gets back up and tries again. (And from a writing standpoint, this is lovely because that stubbornness is great in situations like this, but you could easily turn it into a weakness in a different scenario if you wanted to.)

And not only does Aki learn driving the hard way here, she also finds herself confronted with jerks who don't want her to succeed,

(Ruka, sweetie, I love you.)

and she makes an absolute rookie mistake during her exam by trying to play a speed spell when she doesn't have the necessary speed counters.

And feel free to disagree, but I think this is also great. Because honestly? While driving a really damned fast motorcycle that I'm not super used to yet, and being expected to make solid tactical judgements in an overcomplicated card game—the rules of which are slightly different when you're playing it on a motorcycle—at the same time, I would likely also mess up like that and accidentally try to make an illegal play. But the thing is, the episode rewards her for sticking it out anyway by letting her pull off a really complicated driving manoeuvre to save herself from her envious turbo-duelling-license colleagues' cheap tricks, and by letting her score a really nice win from a tight spot, much like any of the boys would have in her position.

(Take that, you jerks. Dumbasses only get blurry screenshots.)

So Aki gets her license and is welcomed by the team as a fresh turbo duellist. Hooray!

(I love them all so, so much, help me.)

And we also get this:

Wouldn't you know it! Sherry's been watching Aki get her license with interest! And she seems to be mighty pleased with the result!

So. After all that, I don't think you could blame anyone (it's me, I'm anyone) for getting really excited about what Aki's gonna get up to from this point outward. Aki can control her powers now! And she got her turbo duelling license! And we've got a new, enigmatic side character who seems like she could have super interesting interactions with and play off Aki! I wonder what they're gonna do with all that.

*deep breath*

Sigh.

Seeing as I already know this show like the palm of my hand, I kind of dreaded getting past this episode because I know exactly what happens to Aki from this point out: Nothing. A whole lot of nothing. Okay, well, no. See, I went back and checked all the episodes I have left, just to make sure, just in case I forgot something (very likely when you've already watched the show three times, I know).

From here on out, during the entire pre-WRGP, WRGP, and Ark Cradle arc, Aki gets exactly three things to do:

She uses her shiny new turbo duelling license to fill in for Crow at the Team Unicorn match because he got injured. Which, on paper, is a perfect way to let her have the spotlight for a moment. Except, the only thing she gets that spotlight for is to last a hot four turns in the duel before losing spectacularly to Andre and literally never turbo duelling again for the rest of the show. (Like, yes. The moment where she summons Stardust Dragon is chefs kiss and legendary. But in light of the surrounding circumstances, it feels like a consolation prize to make up for the ensuing character trainwreck.)

Since Crow is technically still injured when they're meant to go up against Team Catastrophe, Aki trains to fill in for him there again. Except! They intentionally make her crash right before the duel, putting her in a short-term coma! And as the icing on the cake, when she wakes up, it also turns out she lost the powers she was only just able to control for absolutely. no. reason. None. They never bother explaining it, they don't even try to hint at why they might have vanished. (I have my own theories for why they had to let her powers vanish and they all start and end with the words "we couldn't be bothered to figure out how to write this character".)

At the very end of the show, the very end, after temporarily fridging Sherry, too, they dig both girls back up in order to let them participate in a three-way final boss duel with Crow. (Which is a fantastic duel, I love it to pieces. Genuinely.) You could argue that they tried to cash in on all the intrigue they set up between Aki and Sherry here, but—come on. At the end of the show? Seriously? Oh, and did I mention that for some reason, Aki's powers mysteriously reappear after this duel? For no reason? Again?

I just. It does not compute. They went as far as doing all this setup, letting Aki get the hang of her powers, letting her get her license, making her part of Team 5Ds, even giving us a new character that seemed like the perfect fit to let her bounce off of—and then, like some sort of kafkaesque reverse-miracle, they somehow managed to take a sharp left into "whoops, don't care about this character" and nearly wasted the entirety of that setup in one fell swoop. If it weren't for that finale saving at least a smidgen of it, I'd be holding a torch and a pitchfork over here. (Hell, I might, even knowing that Aki's final duel in the show is kickass.)

Please tell me if this is just me (15 years after the show released, I know, leave me alone), but this feels like they were literally loading Chekov's gun directly within view of the audience, only to later procede to toss the damned thing into the sea instead of firing it.

Okay. Okay, I think I'm done. For anyone who actually bothered with the whole post, first of all, thank you for your attention, secondly, sorry, but this does, indeed, still bother me ten years after I first found this show, so I had to get it out or it would have eaten at me forever. God damn it.

Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to writing fics where Aki actually gets something to do right this second. If anyone's interested in giving a fic series where Aki gets a separate character arc that tries to stay mostly canon-compliant after the defeat of the dark signers a go, you can find my stuff here.

#yugioh 5ds #aki izayoi #akiza izinski #ygo 5ds #character analysis #orchid watches 5ds (again)#orchid rambles #setup and no payoff is one of the worst things you can do to me in media #I get so unreasonably maaaaaaad #they literally gave themselves so many opportunities to do something with Aki #and then they wasted them all #also shameless plug I know #look I'm just trying to attract more people who will yell about Aki with me #that's what I do here #ok I'll shut up now

One Piece NoPixel

Ever since the 4.0 launch of NoPixel (a private GTA Online roleplay server), my husband and I have become OBSESSED with the Yuno Sykk storyline going on.

Considering Sykkuno has been streaming NoPixel for roughly 8hrs every day, there's no way I can fully keep up, so my insomniac husband tends to give me recaps the following day. As he's telling me the story and is trying to get me to understand the relationship ties between characters I had an epiphany: Yuno is just Luffy from One Piece.

People already joke that Sykkuno has "plot armor" and is the "main character", so his GTA character Yuno being Luffy already kind of fits. Plus, both Yuno and Luffy are ADHD/Autistic balls of chaos that are also unintentionally beams of charisma that attracts just about everyone to their side. It doesn't matter how insane the plan is, if Luffy/Yuno says it people will follow through. You also have the fun of wondering if Luffy/Yuno is just insane with godly amounts of luck that allows their plan to work out, or if they are secretly geniuses that had already calculated everything in the background and the plan worked because of that discrete planning (or if it's a happy combo of the two). Luffy and Yuno are both almost impossibly optimistic and goofy, and people INSTANTLY know to take these boys seriously the second they become serious. If Luffy/Yuno stop smiling, you KNOW shit is about to go down! Also, Luffy/Yuno is INSANELY loyal and protective of his found family. On multiple occasions, Yuno has been informed that if he were to betray the speaker that would kill their last bit of faith in humanity, because if they know ANYTHING it's that Yuno doesn't lie and doesn't betray. Much like Luffy.

OK, so Yuno Sykk is Monkey D. Luffy (If Yuno's name wasn't just Sykkuno's I wouldn't be surprised if he had included the D. initial).

I then thought about those around Yuno. While the personalities don't work one-to-one, my husband and I were able to map a lot of Yuno's friends onto Luffy's simply based on relationship ties.

First is obvious. Yuno, through the 3.0 adoption chaos, ended up the adopted grandson of cop (and eventual Police Commissioner) Sam Baas. So, Baas is Garp. The fish-name connection is just a bonus.

Next up is the inspiration to both start an illegal lifestyle and to become the best possible at it. A pseudo-father-figure and mentor. The man whose blessings and pride in Luffy/Yuno is just about everything to the boy: Lang Buddha as Yuno's Shanks.

Luffy/Yuno couldn't get as far as he does without his true ride-or-die. The man who is loyal to a fault. Who will gladly give his life to not only save his best friend and brother, but also to simply lift him higher, if that's what's requested of him. A man who will smile as he participates in mass murder, and whose homicidal tendencies are surprisingly calmed when around Luffy/Yuno: Raymond Romanov as Yuno's Roronoa Zoro

The personalities don't really match, and YMMV when it comes to this ship, but 4.0 brought about Yuno's "relationship arc". This introduced us to a woman that Yuno loves spending time with, is very protective of, and joys in making her smile. She is there to comfort Yuno, but understands that he needs to do things his way and on his own sometimes. Yuno keeps saying that they're only best friends, and that may be true. He may honestly have no romantic interest in her, despite her obvious romantic interest in him. Even so, she's His Person and he wants to be with her and protect her as much as possible. If there's one person that Luffy/Yuno cares about that you DO NOT mess with, it's her. Ladies and gents, meet Yuno's Nami: Lottie Mae

On the flipside, we have a woman who started off as an enemy, but was instantly charmed by the lengths Yuno would go to in order to help someone that had threatened him. Someone who has family who viciously protects her. Someone who is completely smitten despite Yuno not really giving as many "I want to be in a romantic relationship" vibes as he does with Lottie. Someone who clearly has a jealous streak to her. The main person people seem to ship with Luffy/Yuno behind Nami/Lottie. Our own Tsundere Queen: Gigi Costello as Yuno's Boa Hancock

Next up is a man who is a more serious leader who doesn't approve of Luffy/Yuno's shenanigans, but he also can't deny the results, so he begrudgingly gives Luffy/Yuno free rein. He still tries to talk some sense into Luffy/Yuno and his friends, and they do listen to him on occasion, but those moments are few and far between. He also can't ignore Luffy/Yuno's charisma, and, in spite of himself, he's equally drawn in to the King of Chaos. Congratulations, Tommy T. You are Yuno's Trafalgar Law.

We then have someone who is older. Someone who is a bit of a mentor, but also would gladly follow Luffy/Yuno. Someone who was once a leader himself, but has since disbanded his own crew (or, at least, left them). Someone who is incredibly protective of Luffy/Yuno, but also understands that the kid can hold his own (for the most part). Someone who can't fathom Luffy/Yuno ever betraying anyone. Someone who is a master a steering??? This one is a little bit of a stretch, but my husband believes that Tony Corleone is Yuno's Jimbe.

Finally, we have someone who is a pseudo-ally to Luffy/Yuno, almost begrudgingly. Someone whose goals differ from Luffy/Yuno's and those differing goals caused tension for a bit before the two decided to break off from each other. Someone who has a sort of 1920s gangsta vibe with his underground gambling and mob-like connections. A man whose main goal deep down is to find a family of his own. Marty Banks as Yuno's Capone Bege

My husband also thinks that Benji Ramos would be Yuno's Sanji, mostly due to the incessant flirting with little-to-no success. Also, Mickey Sinclaire as Usopp due to Mickey being a cowardly schemer and master liar. I'm still on the fence for both of those. This list was largely mapping parallels on how these characters relate to Luffy vs how they relate to Yuno. The Benji and Mickey parallels are more about their personalities pairing with One Piece characters.

I think that will have to be a different list, though.

So, NoPixel/One Piece fans, what do you think? Does this work? Would you have picked other character parallels? Are there others we didn't think of?

Since @cartoonicle was so awesome to draw Gabby for me I feel like I should explain more of her story… or more so her dad’s story.

Ok so here it is…

Wow I’ve never thought I’d connect so much to a single fan’s au I might even make a few short stories based on my AU of Cartoonical’s au?🤭

Now the only difference is that this version is an alternate timeline created when the creator’s original Blaine got caught in the backfire of one of Mariana’s practice spell. Spending him back in time (unspecified but near the invasion arc)

Wanting to set things right and make amends for his past mistakes tracks down his younger self to warn him of what his future is to be if he continues with Father’s plan, hoping and praying that his younger self will make the right decision. Though hesitant at first fear preventing him from heeding his future self’s warning…at the last second realizing that he does not want to suffer the same fate, assists Frederick in rescuing Gwen and taking down their father…

With lots of time and many apologies, relationships are mended, wounds healed, and in good time Maria even agreed to give Blaine a second chance, but only after he agreed to her terms which involved only 2 things. The first was that he’d give her the time and space she needed to process and heal from the whole experience, And the second was that in the duration of that time Blaine had to agree to not just prove that she can trust him again but to help himself as well. Which meant only one thing,,, therapy. And if she liked what saw then and only then will she give him a second chance…

Well it was a long and difficult battle, there were many panic attacks, thoughts of giving up and feeling it was hopeless… But the end was all worth it, though the anxiety attacks and that small bit of fear of being unloved still lingered, Blaine now had the strength and support to get through it all… and change his future for the better.

Blaine and Maria were the last of their siblings to be wed and now have a beautiful baby girl who they named Gabriella.

But despite finally being free from his father and getting the help he needed, his father’s actions still had an effect on Blaine’s life. And it had to do with his parenting style. Not wanted his daughter to ever feel the pain, insecurities, stress, let alone the fear of being unloved. Blaine made a promise to himself and his daughter that he would do anything and everything he can to make certain his daughter feels loved, cherished and important every second of everyday.

Why is this so bad you ask? Because Blaine has never once disciplined his daughter, letting her get away with anything and always giving her every single thing she asked for without a second thought. It got to a point where Maria was the only one disciplining and lecturing their daughter for her selfish action, not that it did much as Gabriella would just run straight to ‘Daddy’ who was very quick to take her side. Eventually Maria grew tired of this she knew this could not continue on for much longer before it was too late. The reason she never addressed this before was because she and pretty much everyone figured out very early on the real reason for Blaine’s own lack of disciplining his daughter…

And it was due to the fear of turning into his father.

There are people out there who believe that those who grew up in an abusive environment will eventually grow up to be abusive themselves… While ‘yes’ that has been the result in some cases. There is one scenario that is rarely ever brought up.

When growing up in such a hostile environment with violence being the only thing they’ve ever experienced in life will ‘sometimes’ grow up to be just as violent.

But… When you give them the love and kindness they’ve always longed for was always denied to them. You become the most important people their lives! And they will love and cherish you every second of everyday.

….

Now Blaine having a bit of an epiphany after the war becomes rather overprotective of his family and developed a bit of his own dark side. Refusing the crown and giving it to Frederick and sorta becomes his own personal bodyguard. Again much similar to Mariana becomes paranoid, always keeping an eye out for anyone who might hurt his baby brother… And he would also torment Leland whenever he had the time.😈

…

Gabby is the middle child, younger than Mari and Brandon by 2 to 3 years.

She and Marianna have a bit of a love hate relationship. They get along most of the time but often get into fights over petty little things. She does have a tiny bit of Mariana’s personality when it comes to protecting the family especially her dad who she loves with all her heart. And enjoys tormenting her Grandpa Leland when she gets bored. When she’s older she becomes a model and does a lot of traveling for fashion shows.

She still has a very strong bond with Mari and adapted a bit of Mari’s not so sane tactics but in her own unique way.

I already explained how Blaine spoiled her a lot when she was younger because just like Lance he was scared of becoming his father. Until Gabby’s own powers came out. Basically similar to Mari but she feels all emotions instead of just fear, so she was able to her father’s worries and insecurities and immediately felt bad. Then her mother explained her grandpa Leland to her Gabby started to change and not be such a brat anymore. And of course being able to feel everything she can also feel that lord David truly loves Mari for who she is and is constantly trying to get her cousin to see that.

Of yeah and she has a little crochet doll of her dad she got from her auntie Gwen!🥰

OKAY YOU'VE UNLEASHED THE BEAST. so like we all know the post str harutaka dynamic is all lovey dovey etc because FINALLY! WE ARE TOGETHER!!!!!!! sort of thing well kanoshin is literally the opposite. in my fucked up head post str kanoshin dynamic at the time this would occur is shintaro after breaking up w/ ayano and ALSO takane is trying to distance themself from him so he's basically like a sopping wet cat in cardboard box on kano's doorstep that kano has also been pining for secretly and unwillingly for like 2 years. so to me kanoshin is basically shintaro: heem heem whimper (super vulnerable doesnt even care if it's gay at this point or if he has feelings for kano he just needs to be held he can think abt all of that later) kano: okayyyy whatever ^w^ (what the hell is going on what i am doing why is shintaro in my arms where am i) and that repeats 100 times in post shinaya breakup divorce. mix in shintaro's horrible capacity for affection since he doesnt think he wants to be hated but also wants to be loved but he should be hated blah blah blahand with kano it's like he validates both of that, that makes zero sense when i type it out but trust me it makes sense in my head. so ignoring canon i think takane and kano r definitely besties bc they r basically the Same Guy????? which like u said it's even acknowledged IN kano's novel where he's like "yep she's twisted JUST like me" also fun fact the same ost that plays over the kano and seto scene where he opens up abt everything in mca ALSO plays over the scene where takane and ayano discuss takane's feelings abt haruka im SOOOOO normal abt that fact. in my mind they r talking or smthn and shintaro gets brought up and kano somehow lets it slip with a "soooo did shintaro ever also kiss you or something haha :3c" and takane's like "what" and that's how takane found out. and i think takane would have REALLY mixed feelings abt that especially bc like "uhhh how would ayano feel?" but when he goes to talk to shintaro abt it a bit more (codependency in the mix bc in her mind it's like well surely shintaro will tell me soon anyway bc he tells me everything bc he needs to tell me. normal things to think) he looks at them like he just shit himself. i kind of forget where i was going with this. but if they EVER did go on a double date it would be so awkward bc harutaka r Normal and kanoshin is Very Much Not Normal. but because takane and haruka are the only ones who know abt kano and shintaro's weird not relationship and shintaro and kano cant stand being alone together for a long amount of time bc it forces them to confront their feelings but also want to be together it's the perfect solution. this kind of goes hand in hand with shintaro's heavy reliance on takane, it's like codependency......2!!!!!! but kano is Also there. SORRY THIS SOUNDS INSANE AND IS SOOOOO LONG IM SORRY im normal

OK im putting answer under the cut only cuz the ask is already long and its so scrolling it on my blog isnt a nightmare for myself 💗 it largely turned into me talking abt takane like always sooo teehee

NO UR NOT INSANE U ARE SO NORMAL!!!!!!! this is EXACTLY IT. shintaro&kano insanity in between shinaya breakup/takane distancing itself from shintaro ahaihvsuxhemxksjxlwkdowkdw (EXPLOSION)

also the ost thing!!! i had to go check and i got so excited stupid like YESS YESSSSS ILOVE THAT KINDA SHIT not to sidetrack on takane/harutaka but that would've been so so so good if the anime hadn't fucked up and made takane all happy when running before dying. like takane was so terrified of being in love with haruka she wasn't like omg teeheee im gonna confess my feelings💗 she was like (RUNNING) THIS SUCKS SO BADDDDDDD AUGGHHHHHH like she DID have an epiphany. but it wasn't like... HAPPY. takane was so terrified!!!! sorry. IM NOT GONNA SIDETRACK TO HARUTAKA IM NOT but str takane finally managing to confess to haruka i think its rly funny if then haruka's of course like I LOVE U TOO are we dating then :3 and takane's like WHAT!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! WHAT!!! and haruka's like WELL U LIKE ME? AND I LIKE U? SO WE SHOULD DATE??? and takane's like I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT FAR AHEAD I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU GIVE ME A SECOND TO PROCESS like this bitch never once stops to worry if haruka likes her back or not, if it'd be awkward if he didnt and how it'd be like to date if he did, NOTHING. granted that she dies immediately after realising so maybe she just didnt get to that point LMAO but i love this about takane's character like she just doesnt fucking think about it they just WANT TO TELL HIM!!! and then up to str she never imagines seeing haruka again and now he's here and she's too happy and relieved to even go back to this realisation and give time to worry about WHAT IT REALLY MEANS to confess her feelings. theyre just like i need to tell him he needs to know.and haruka's like I Love You Too. takane acting like he's insane for that. haruka rly has to give takane like 10 or 20 minutes of freakout for them to be like omg💗

i said i wouldnt sidetrack to harutaka then did . whatever. This is who i am. erm. oh yeah the ost. SO kano finally managing to let one of his siblings comfort him is obviously scary to him, takane's reaction at ayano's words abt how shintaro needs someone selfish to pull him forward and how she has to be honest to haruka is also scary to her. So having that ost in both these scenes....SO GOOD!!!

i WOULDN'T GO AS FAR AS TO SAY kano and takane are the same guy but i know what u mean. like i said in ur other ask man their PARALLELS... both are playing a role.. (holds head)

theyre not the same guy but theyre heavily like. people with the same ideas but different goals idk. to me its more like... sorry for ripping on takane so much but she is so damn stupid. like emotionally. takane is DUMB takane is SO DAMN OBLIVIOUS ALL THE TIME. While kano is very smart and i think he acts in a very calculated way, kano isn't oblivious at all

i'm pretty sure ALL the kano&takane interactions are from kano's point of view, and maybe the fact they're so similar is why kano is always so mean spirited to her in his pov. like he sees too much of him in them so he's like lol FUCK YOU. like kano always acts so annoyed towards takane. i hate how in the fifth novel takane getting its body back is so brushed off and kano doesnt even help her, and then he's like augh i dont wanna see her right now. like u just traumadumped that bitch to hell and then not only do you not help her get her body back but u also act all weird about having to see her. jail for kano for 1000 years.

But like to me he acts that way... takane IS the first person kano ever opens up to precisely bc he sees himself in her, and like him she is secretly someone else. kano resents takane because she's a lot like him BUT.... BETTER.

kano acts kind of like a brat to takane yet says he doesnt want her to dislike him and SAYS that he is jealous of takane.

this line MEANS SO MUCH TO ME *GOES INSANE*

i think kano is rly jealous of takane bc she's a lot like him yet she's a good person. and he doesn't think he is a good person. and on top of it takane's the one who stays by shintaro's side who kano cant stand so he resents her x2. im not a fan of what mca did in ep 7 with kano&ene but for kano to go as far as do that to someone who never did Anything to him just bc he's pissed to another guy. like man kano is such a fucking jerk to takane in all routes and it's never treated as heavy as it is. tortures her with turning into haruka and takes his frustration out on her abt people moving on (which his siblings&shintaro do yet he chooses TAKANE to take it out on who is in an even worse position than everyone else bc shes dead like girl whats it supposed to do SHES JUST TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIFE OR WHATEVER IS LEFT OF IT AND AT LEAST HELP SOMEONE SHE LOVES MOVE ON TOO) and also traumadumps them and then leaves her to her own devices to get her body back. like fuck that. kano sucks so bad and takane always forgives him so easily. this is partly cuz again the narrative sorta brushes it off coughs coughs the narrative doesnt take takane seriously cough cough but TO ME!! TAKANE'S JUST A GOOD GUY💗 i think takane forgiving him so easily also pisses off kano bc it shows how good takane is and it drives him crazy. takane when 2 guys (kano and shintaro) are absolutely fucking horrible to her and she's like its ok we are best friends👍 again i think takane's just not taken seriously enough and its like yeah takane forgives everyone or doesnt care because we dont need her angry abt it in the story. but to me theyre just so niceys.

god i havent even talked abt kanoshin yet sorry for my takane brainworms you dont understand she is everything to ME!!! TAKANE ENOMOTOOOO‼️‼️‼️ in my defense u said most of the kanoshin stuff which i 100% agree with.

what i didnt even think abt is kano kind of telling takane thru wondering if shintaro ever felt that way abt her bc theyre so similar so kano's like well. if he likes me maybe he liked takane. HEHE GOOD ONE. good one..... augh takane having the warmth of ayano and the mischief of kano. listen to me. im rly so crazy about takane i think all the characters inside of kagepro should be crazy abt her too. sorry i started abt takane again. whatever. takane💗

i also think theyd be the first to find out (and seto but he is not a danger) mostly bc. GOSSIP GRAVITATES TOWARDS HER finds out by chance rather than kano telling her but i DO LOVE THAT CONCEPT OF KANO WONDERING IF SHINTARO EVER LIKED TAKANE kano's first lethal mistake is asking HER though. i think he would rather ask shintaro but FOR THE SAKE OF THE SCENARIO, SURE

ok but thats rly funny haruka and takane being the only ones to know and shintaro and kano not wanting to be alone and forcing them to be there😭 also how would haruka know... I LOVE haruka being up to date with mekakushi dan gossip literally just because he's dating gossip central takane but he just doesnt do anything with the info cuz hes like well i know that now. i think takane just starts talking and goes on and on and haruka's drawing and gasping and being like omg wow really. theyre so silly. i have a hc that during hs takane looks out their classroom window that happens to face a Popular Confession Place and she sits there to watch like its tv. shes like look haruka another one. this one's also getting rejected. haruka's like Takane is so easily entertained💗

but yeah. i think that's how haruka would know. personally i think kano&shintaro would rather be alone bc theyre both terrified of this relationship and wouldnt want anyone to know PLUS i already like takane as relationship mediator to shinaya so doing it to her twice in a row seems just cruel Like at this point takane is living their best domestic harutaka cat parent life ok. like leave it tf alone!! give them a break!! however it is extremely comical. most painful awkward time ever with kanoshin & harutaka

so ill accept it. like its fucking funny. erm. sorry this is all over the place.

How about 40 and 71 for the ask game?

[get to know your fic writer - meme]

40- If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

I'd be surprised and quite unable to express it via words haha. It kinda happened before! @neorukixart drew a scene of my Maki-Bakumon drabble called "Gone." It caught me off guard because i'm not sure if i deserve those kinds of things, but i'm very very happy when peeps draw stuff for those thingies! She also drew my dropped-story Agent Daigo too ;v; (i kinda brought him back in a doodle too, my smelly dummy "coping mechanism" -- she drew a new version of it, with her own idea of Maki being an Agent too lol)

Also @citrus-cactus drew Tortiemon's Mikanmon form based on my epiphany of a third Lop-Terrier sibling too ;v; (might not be totally related to the story i wrote, but yeah!) -- and um... (Dai) Lightni too? (though i dunno if it was related to the Hinode drabbles too...)

also @timelessanimo drew my Daisukes from two different projects too ;o; I was so happy i didn't know how to express my gratitude 🥺

I prefer to let whoever wants to illust or doodle something about my writing to pick their favorites. If i want something specific to be drawn, i do it by myself 😅 (this is why LotC had most of my art in it... except for one, which i wrote said scene based on a fanart and got permission from the artist to include it in the story as illust...)

71- When it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timeline, ect.?

Uh... I try my best to keep them somewhere in my mind, but if i can't i have to open a new file or a note on google docs to write down details... Like the Digi-Partnership Math, or I keep Wikimon's Visual List of Digimon page open to go seek for the details my memory cannot hold.

I even have a few drafts with DigiTimeLines' kids birthdays and partner evolines because I couldn't keep track of those (ok, I have a list for the 02 Kids and other minor characters too...)

I Saw the Therapist, Today...

And I have to talk about it somewhere, but she told me 100% to not talk about it in "public," and -- this is what anon accounts are for, right? She doesn't want me to talk about specifics where certain people can see it.

I had an elephant last night (epiphany). New apartment is so quiet I can hear my past complex traumas a lot louder. Turns out, I've been through it, and it's not a light-hearted easy 10-12 session fix. This could take years, some things might not be fully fixable. Which is fine, I didn't even care about myself in April.

Anyway, kinda realized the reason I'm not comfortable in the apartment is because I'm not comfortable with myself. I don't know me (what? woah! ELEPHANT!). Told my therapist about how I almost don't trust myself, and she agrees that this is most likely what's going on. I told her I wished I could love myself as much as I love my hero. Because I love the hell out of my hero and I barely know them...surely I can learn to love the hell out of myself despite barely knowing who I am? Therapist gave goals: 1. list all the reasons why I heart Hero. -> Then turn around and find all the same info about myself. -> Therapist wants to see if there's anything I actually *don't* know about myself. -> Right off the bat, I've found three things I love about Hero that I don't even know about me (one area is boundaries - theirs is clearly defined, and mine are crap -- and I feel a person is more safe and trustworthy when they have clearly defined boundaries like that -- i don't even know where a lot of my own limits are). 2. A healthy comparison - list traits Hero has that I wish I had. -> list how I can reasonably acquire said traits for myself. -> set a plan to work toward those traits so that I can admire the traits in myself instead of others.

3. Every day for a week, Therapist wants me to audibly forgive the person who made Hero's attention a competition and bragged about how good they were doing while being condescending toward me. I just want to forget that they are even out there. She wants me to put myself in their shoes, but I don't understand how that would help any. I feel like they were doing the typical "jealous lesbian" bit as if I (trans guy) was some kind of romantic opponent and Hero were the "prize" and I'm literally just trying to learn to be kind to myself and have a happy life, and Hero is Hero because they have at least 1/4 an iota of interest in what I've got going on and have been encouraging the whole way through, and this person tried to chase me off (they chased me off a social site that I'd been on since '08, but anyway). And I have to forgive them...out loud...every day...for a week. I mean...all of that did pique my abandonment crap, which brought out the realization that I am super uncomfortable alone because I don't know who I am...maybe Therapist is on to something. Ok I talked about everything. *sigh*

The Way Home's Chyler Leigh Talks Finale's Jacob Twist, Elliot's Decision ('I Was Devastated!') — Plus, Grade It!

Hallmark Channel’s The Way Home offered up a few answers and even more time-travel mysteries in its Season 1 finale on Sunday.

First, Kat discovered that not only is she responsible for the crash that killed her father Colton, but she’s also the mysterious woman at his funeral with whom Del thought her husband was having an affair. Realizing that time travel has brought her family much pain, Kat was ready to move on from it. But then it dawned on her that her MIA little brother Jacob followed Finn the dog into the pond that fateful night… and time-traveled to 1814?! The final seconds of the episode revealed that the series premiere’s witch who was being chased by an angry mob, before jumping into the pond, is actually Kat!

Elliott, too, was ready to move on, but not in a way that was good news for Kat/Elliott ‘shippers. When Kat told him that she signed her divorce papers, Elliot responded that he’s been a spectator in his own life, ruled by the past ever since Alice told him his future. Although he loves Kat, he now needs to start a new chapter (sans Kat?!) to see where his own path might lead.

Below, star/executive producer Chyler Leigh breaks down Kat’s appearance in 1814, that Jacob time-travel twist and Elliot’s “devastating” decision to end things with Kat. Plus, the actress weighs in on whether Del knows about the pond’s special abilities.

What were some of the biggest questions that you had, coming out of the finale, that you’re excited to explore in Season 2?

Obviously, the white witch factor of it… From what I’ve been told that, I think I will be going back [in time] in order to, hopefully, help explain a little bit of what happened, because I’d like to know! [Laughs] Also, with Elliot, too, I’m kind of like, “Aww. But we have to get back together, don’t we?” [Laughs]

TVLINE | Kat has this big epiphany about Jacob possibly having gone back in time, and it’s coming at a time when Kat herself is starting to put the past in the past. So where does that leave her moving forward?

It kind of gets chalked up, again, to the fact that she’s a reporter. She’s a journalist, and so no matter what, getting to the bottom of everything has always been the through line for her. It’s just what comes naturally in her personality and just her skill, and obviously that has a part to play. But [if] there’s any hope that she could find more answers, if there’s any hope she could find Jacob, she would never truly, truly give up… She’s going to go for it. Family is always first for her, which is one thing I definitely relate to as Chyler. So I think that, naturally, is just going to push her and propel her forward to go, “OK, no, there is so much more here. I’m going to figure this out.”

How do you imagine this revelation about Jacob might shake up the dynamic in the family, especially given that Del still doesn’t know about the pond and that the girls have been using it to time travel?

Well, here’s my question, and I’m actually genuinely asking this question: Does Del know about the pond?

I did wonder when Alice was singing Colton’s song if maybe Del was putting it together.

I’m speaking now from a fan perspective because I don’t have all these answers yet, but I’m wondering myself. I’m kind of like, well, there’s still the questions [about seeing] this person that impacted your life all this time ago. Do you recognize them? Is there an aspect of that that still comes into play? Or is there some sort of like Men In Black, push-the-button [situation], and you don’t remember certain things? Does that come in, or has it always been there? Because that begs the question, too, of like Colton saying, “My Katherine.” There’s something there as well.

So do they know? Does Del know? When she takes Alice to the pond — and I always loved the line and it was kind of like, “Oooh, mysterious mysteries” — she says, “The pond is a world all of its own” and talks about the pond freezing over and that that is an indicator that seasons are changing, and obviously there’s more to that than saying like actual winter is coming.

I imagine viewers are going to have a lot of theories about the final moments of the finale and Kat being in the past, the way she looks, where Jacob is, why he went back in time but didn’t seem to come back to his present time like Alice and Kat did. Did the producers give you any insight into what’s going on with Kat in 1814 and Jacob?

I’m getting little bits and pieces. I know they’re in the writers’ room as we speak right now. That is one thing I’m so excited about is to just get back there and figure out how did Kat get there. What has it been like? Because they call her, obviously, like a witch. So the idea of her being able to predict or know the future back in a time when witches or anybody with some sense of clairvoyance were being burned at the stake, hence the pitchforks and the angry people coming after her… And the way that she looks. How did she get to that point? I loved seeing the majority of people think that it’s Alice. I think that’s solely because of, obviously, the long hair. So how her hair is so long, and how she looks and why she looks the way she does, why she’s wearing that outfit, is all definitely going to be part of the explanation pretty quick once we jump into Season 2.

You did a lot of traveling to the late 1990s this season, but now you’re going to be, potentially, spending a lot of time much further back in 1814. Is there anything about that specific time period that you’re really excited to step into?

Yes. I don’t know exactly how it’s going to be incorporated quite yet, but I have been asked if I have experience on a horse, and if not, would I be willing to take lessons, and I was like, “Absolutely!” Luckily, what’s great is I live in Tennessee and some very, very good friends of mine own a horse ranch. So I’m like, “Guess who’s coming for dinner.” [Laughs] I can’t wait! That is one thing that I’m really excited about.

We spent the season rooting for Elliot & Kat to get together and then Elliot, essentially, broke up with Kat before they even really entered a relationship. How did you feel about his decision?

Oh my God, I was devastated! But at the same time, Evan [Williams] and I worked really hard in those scenes. That scene, in particular, kudos to that man, who I just absolutely love and adore. You don’t want to understand what he’s saying, but at the same time, it’s like, oh my God, he really did just break free from all the things that he’s known in the past. He actually does have that chance… I don’t want to say that Kat is self-centered, but at the same time, for her to have to accept the fact that it really isn’t about her, it’s about the wellbeing of this person who she does genuinely love, you have to respect that journey. When she has that conversation in the [finale], and he says, “I’ve been here all along,” and she says, “Well, you don’t really understand what it’s been like,” and he does say, “No, I do know because this has governed and dictated my entire life.” So he’s been impacted for the past 20 years by this. And I wonder if we’re going to touch on who he was married to, because he mentions that in the very beginning [of the series]. I was like, “Wait, who’s that girl?” [Laughs]

I wanted to clarify something about the Kat and Elliot conversation. By this “new chapter,” did he mean he’s moving away? And if not, can they still be friend after this?

Oh, that is a great question: Can you ever really truly be friends with your ex? I don’t know, to be very, very honest. I don’t know if that means [he’s] moving away or whatnot. I doubt it. I mean, he’s too invested in life there. He’s a teacher. But I couldn’t confirm nor deny because I don’t know.

S2 theory

The creators said that at the end of S1 Sylvie was basically where Loki was at the end of Thor 1, driven by anger, pain and grief which clouded her judgment. Loki, however, recognized that pain in her in those final moments because he went through the same thing.

The cast and crew said that in terms of character development, Loki has already evolved further than Sylvie, he’s moved past his anger and pain, but unfortunately, Sylvie hadn’t made that journey yet at that time and it was the reason for their disagreement in episode 6.

So I think Sylvie's arc in S2 will mirror Loki's 2012,S1 one and it will be about healing, letting go of her anger and pain and finding new purpose in her life, along with allowing herself to trust and being vulnerable around others.

After the events of Thor 1, Loki's glorious purpose was seeking power and ruling. But like Tom said, Loki found out early on in the show that that glorious purpose was devoid of meaning and it did nothing but cause pain to him and those he cared about.

Sylvie never wanted power or to conquer anything. Her goal, her own glorious purpose in this case was putting an end to the TVA, the people behind it, destroying the organization and then walking away. Eventually, she did that.

However, it brought her no relief, no satisfaction, no catharsis. The pain she had before still lingered on. She killed HWR and then promptly collapsed to the ground, sobbing. She did what she intended to do for so long and it was meaningless because it didn't help her at all.

Loki, after realizing his glorious purpose was meaningless, that the people he cared about and hurt with his actions still loved him, going through all that epiphany and surrounding himself with new people he grew to care about and who cared about him in return, allowed himself to be vulnerable, changed his tune and found a new purpose in his life.

And I believe something similar is in store for Sylvie this season. But unlike Loki, who saw his family still loved him despite his mistakes, who went through that Mobius' therapy, who, yes, admittedly recruited him only because he needed him, but still showed that he had faith in him, Sylvie has no one. No one who cares about her or even knows her at this point. No one, except Loki. And I think this is where he steps in.

Because she knows she probably hurt him, just like Loki knew he hurt the people he loved and who loved him, which is what he even tells her in ep.5, but just like Loki's family who still loved him despite his mistakes, Loki still loves her and wants her to be ok.

So maybe this Sylvie is our Sylvie and sometime after killing HWR, she travelled to the 70s to lead a normal lowkey life because she's lost her way and doesn't know what else to do, is not in the best state of mind because she did what she wanted to do but she still lost everything.

The pain remains, she has no goal. Maybe she's even quietly punishing herself with this and drowning in pain and misery.

And maybe that's why Loki keeps returning to her workplace. Because he knows she's not ok and they could use each other's help.

And this way Loki could display two things.

That by asking her to help him, he has faith in her that she can do great things and turn her life around, just like what happened with Loki in S1, that there's more to her than to just let her marinate in this misery.

And by showing her he still loves and cares about her, he's mirroring how his own family still loved him regardless of how much he hurt them.

Basically, I feel like Loki will force her to go through a therapy, an epiphany of her own, paralleling his own experience from previous season.

I could see her being dismissive at first, just like Loki was, refusing to cooperate, but Loki absolutely refuses to give up, hence why he keeps returning to McDonalds, and it kinda starts escalating because Loki doesn't leave her alone, he refuses to let her go and wallow in pain, so Loki keeps returning and keeps pushing her buttons so I expect them to have one fight, a blowout, before he finally breaks through to her and kicks her out of this downward spiral and she finally, finally opens up to him.

Basically, Loki acts like a therapist in some way to Sylvie and helps her realize that she shouldn't be alone. That stabbing HWR and then becoming a shell of herself is not her glorious purpose, that it's not right. And I think Sylvie will figure out that he's right.

In S1, Mobius recruited Loki to help him with a specific task because he was the only one who could. It didn't start off smooth, Loki refused to cooperate at first as well. But he persisted and showed he had faith in him.

I think in S2 Loki will do the same to Sylvie. Ask her for help, because she's the only one who also knows what happened and simultaneously display he has faith in her.

And just like in S1 when Loki saw how his family still cared about him and loved him and it helped him heal, I think Sylvie will realize that she still has someone who cares and loves her as well.

I really believe Sylvie's S2 arc will mirror Loki's S1, and Loki will literally force her to go through a mini therapy to reach that same epiphany that he did in S1. To go through the same journey as he did in S1. Like how Loki went through a journey of self forgiveness and healing in season 1, Sylvie will go down the same path. And Loki plays a major role in that. Because of their relationship, their connection, he's the only one who can break through to her and steer her on the right path of healing.

Perhaps we might get a hint of what Sylvie's doing in episode 1. then we will see Sylvie at some point in episode 2 and then that episode and episode 3 will be about Loki trying to get through to Sylvie. And after he does that, I think we will move past the 70s time period

Because I really feel like they will,for the most part,stay in the 70s for the first 3 episodes until Loki finds and reaches Sylvie. After that, they're together, all on the same page, the band gets together, and they go on that multiversal adventure as a team.

My Drunken Dead Yuta Theory 🍾🤪

(This is a theory that I made like… the day after chapter 181 of the manga was released. I originally put in my jjk fic “TSUNAMI”, but decided to copy-paste it here because why not.)

Just to clarify: I WAS NOT COMPLETELY DRUNK WHEN I THOUGHT OF THIS! I was drinking (not that much ofc) and barbecuing with my friends when I had an epiphany: Yuta is possibly Yuji’s foil and therefore, he might die because of it.

(Btw, I literally came to this conclusion when I was pulling at the aluminum foil for the barbecue. Lol, get it, foil? Foil??? no??? ok bye 🥲)

EDIT: In my wattpad/quotev rant, I completely forgot to explain what a foil is, whoops. A literary foil is basically a character that contrasts another character.

Ex: Nanami and Mei Mei. Nanami cares a lot about children and the safety of others and returned to the jujutsu world because he knew he was making a positive impact on ppl. Meanwhile Mei Mei is only concerned about money and doesn’t care much for anyone else’s life but her own. She exploits everyone including her own brother (a child) and pretty much used him as a shield against a powerful curse. They’re opposites of each other.

You can find a more detailed analysis about these two characters being foils over at reddit. Can’t put the link in cuz tumblr’s a meanie about links.

LEMME EXPLAIN WHAT I MEAN.

First off, look at this Twitter thread I found about jjk chapter 181:

Before Gege created Yuji, Yuta was his original main character. He was created during a time where main characters of shounen animes/mangas all started out super strong or OP—that’s why Yuta was so powerful back in Volume 0 because that was usually how creators made their MCs back then.

Around the time Yuji was created, there was a shift in interests within the shounen genre; people began to find MCs who quickly became OP boring, they became more fond of more developed characters instead. Main characters, like Yuji, had more realistic progress in their abilities rather than starting out special and OP.

And you know another thing that was super common back in the day? Shounens had a thing for using the Power of Friendship and Talk-no-Jutsu to unrealistically settle conflicts. With the Power of Friendship and Talk-no-Jutsu, protagonists and their friends easily defeated the villains and all was good! 🤗

That’s not what Gege’s doing here, as the Twitter thread above had already explained.

In JJK, he’s showing us that corruption (the jujutsu society as a whole) and selfishness (Sukuna, Mei Mei, Zenins, etc) will always win over selflessness and all things good and holy. He’s showing us that being good can be a weakness, it can get you or other people killed, so it’s better to only care about yourself.

Gojo tried to save people in the train station and got trapped. Nanami prioritized the safety of the kids and got killed for it. Meanwhile, you’ve got fucked up characters like Mei Mei (who I think is Nanami’s foil) who gets to live and thrive in her selfishness (after Nanami died, she’s later seen in Malaysia—you know, the place Nanami wanted to visit the most?—because she ran away from Shibuya to save her ass).

I think the reason why Gege brought Yuta back was so he could be Yuji’s opposite. Yuji’s going down a dark path after what happened in Shibuya and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up prioritizing his life and becoming more selfish.

Then we got Yuta who refuses to believe that you should fight for yourself and chooses to fight for his friends and loved ones. During his fight with Uro, he was constantly trying to Talk-no-Justu her into believing in the ✨Power of Friendship✨ and whatnot 💀💀💀

Girl was literally trying to tell him that that shit won’t work in the real world, but he was like “how dare you insult the Power of Friendship! 😡 *proceeds to beat her up*” BOY PLEASE JUST LET HER SPEAK OMFG 😩

It’s clear to me that Yuta is supposed to represent the stereotypical shounen MC whereas Yuji represents a newer, darker concept of an MC. And we’ve seen how many times Gege’s shown us that the stereotypical shounen shit is unrealistic and is NOT gonna happen in his manga. Because of this, I think that he might have Yuta actually try to fight one of the Big Bads (Kenjaku or maybe Sukuna) and die terribly as a result of it. That would be a VERY obvious message to the readers that the Power of Friendship and Talk-no-Jutsu ain’t gonna work in the world of JJK.

EDIT: omg didn’t Yuta say he was gonna try and gain 400 points and then fight Kenjaku so Gojo wouldn’t have to??? BOY YOU BETTER SIT YOUR ASS DOWN

I HOPE TO GOD THAT I’M WRONG THOUGH!

I don’t want Yuta to die 😭😭😭 I don’t want ANY of them to die, I WANT THEM TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE WITH A WHOLE NEW REFORMED JUJUTSU SOCIETY WHERE CORRUPTION DOESN’T EXIST AND MAYBE SUKUNA PULLS A KURAMA AND BECOMES GOOD.

But that’s clown shit, I know 😞

JJK is probably gonna have a very sad ending and I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it ended with the bad guys winning and the good guys dead 😭

If my theory made any of you guys upset… good :)

It made me upset when I thought of it, so I thought it was only fair to put you guys through this pain too 💖

#yuta okkotsu #yuuta okkotsu #Jujutsu Kaisen #jjk #jujutsu kaisen meta #jujutsu kaisen theory #jjk 181 #jjk spoilers #im sorry yuta bby #i hope im wrong #but if im not... rip #fly high #rambles #👸🏻| rambles

Best of Friends 7

Peter Parker X reader, Jason Todd x Reader

Summary: Jason and his family finally go back to Gotham, but will Peters and Y/n's relationship recover or become worse?

It's been a week since the Waynes have left New York. Ever since then you have been lonely.

You got used to being followed everywhere by Jason and his brothers, and you missed their constant brotherly bickering. But most of all, you missed your best friend, Peter Parker.

Ever since that night at the carnival, your relationship has never been the same. Every time you saw each other within the week Jason was here, Peter either gave you the cold shoulder or was cold to you, only speaking to you when necessary. It was infuriating.

Especially because you did nothing wrong. You cannot for the life of you recall a moment where you did anything to warrant this behavior from Peter. And it makes you sad. Peter was you best friend. Hell he was you're only friend for a while. You even thought the two of you would become more than friends. But apparently not.

So there you were, sitting in your room mourning the friendship you think you lost.

Your pain was so obvious that the whole team saw it. And they were worried about you.

"Maybe I should go talk to her.." Tony said, hearing you cry for the third time that day.

"Yeah, and we'll find that Parker kid." Natasha said with Bucky and Wanda flanking her sides. All three exuding a cold aura.

The rest of the team shuddered at the sight. Knowing that Peter might not come to the tower unscathed, Tony shook his head

"No, the kids a good intern. Cap do you mind...?"

"I'm on it. Come on, Buck."

Steve was your self-declared god father. He hated seeing you in pain.

"Maruchan Candidate stays here." Tony says exasperdley, " You just got pardoned for murder, remember?"

Bucky huffed and plopped down on the couch. Sending a glare to Tony that had him rushing to the stairs.

"Ok..I'm gonna go talk to Y/n now.."

Once up the stairs he lets out a sigh of relief, "I cannot believe I let him live here."

He heads to your room, heart hurting as he hears your sniffles and cries increase. But then he hears a male voice in your room.

"Aw come on Printsessa, don't cry!"

Pietro.

Tony prayed this day would never come.

"I just don't understand, I didn't do anything..." You cry, voice breaking.

"Oh of course you didn't. You were the perfect friend." Pietro coos, " Come now, it pains me to see such a pretty girl cry"

Okay that was the last straw.

Tony rushed to the room and knocked on the door before marching in.

"Y/n! I came to see how you're feeling." Tony says loudly. He pauses to get a good look at the scene in front of him.

Pietro sat next to his weeping daughter, stroking her hair as she buries her face into a pillow. Pietro senses Tony's unease and stands, patting you on the head, ' I'll go get you some more tissue okay?"

And with that he zooms off. Tony rolls his eyes and takes his spot next to you.

"How are you feeling Kiddo?" He asks softly.

You sniffle, and look up from your pillow, " Daddy I don't know why he won't talk to me."

Tony frowns, knowing you only call him "daddy" when you're truly upset.

"Oh kid, Peter's probably going through something...it has nothing to do with you.."

"That's not true! He only refuses to talk to me. Ever since he asked out Liz, he hates me!" You cried, throwing yourself into your fathers arms.

He hugs you back, placing his chin on your head. Letting you cry into his shirt.

He sighs, wondering how he got caught up in this teen drama.

"Maybe you both should just talk it out." Tony suggests

"How am I supposed to talk it out if he won't talk to me!" You shout, ripping yourself from his arms and back into the comfort of your blankets. Tony panics, he really wasn't used to the drama.

"Sir, Peter Parker is in the common room."

Friday reports, comically sounding annoyed at the boys presence.

You look at your father in betrayal, "You brought him here!"

"Y/n..come on let's go talk-" "No!" you cried, " Why should I be the one to make with him? He's the one with the problem!"

"Kid.."

"NO just leave me alone." You say sadly, turning your back on the man.

Tony sighs again, really not used to this drama. He makes his way down the hallway, and into the common room. There he saw Peter, sitting petrified on the couch as the rest of the Avengers glared at him from around the room.

"Hi Spiderman." Tony says in a sarcastic voice.

"M-Mr. Stark." Peter says quickly standing up, "S-sir, I-"

Tony holds up a hand, cutting the boy off. Then he turns to Pietro and Wanda.

"It seems that m daughter needs some..extra comfort. If you two don't mind.."

They nod and walk to the room, glares making Peter want to pee his pants.

"I don't remember them being so close." Tony mutters, " Anyway, come walk with me Peter."

Peter scurries next to his mentor. Shrinking when he has to pass Nat, Steve, and Bucky.

"Um..did you need me for something sir..."

"Why is my daughter upset Parker."

"...what?"

"Why. is. my. daughter. upset?"

"I..I don't"

"Because, my little girl is up in her room, crying over a boy. do you know who that boy is?"

"Probably Jason Todd." Peter mutters

Oh. oh, that makes perfect sense.

"You're jealous." Tony says as if he made an epiphany.

"What? Mr. Stark don't be silly I-"

"No, you were jealous of Jason and Y/n."Tony states, " Peter Parker are you in love with my daughter?"

"wh-WHaT?" Peter squeaks out.

No. No of course he's not in love with you. You were his best friend for crying out loud.

"Oh? Then why are you mad at Y/n? Hmm? She says you've been mad since the carnival. "

Because he hated seeing you with him. He hated how this other guy made you look so happy. How comfortable you were with him, just like you were with Peter. Because Peter wanted to be the only one.

Oh shit...

"I'm in love with Y/n..." He whispers to himself.

Tony smirks, " Yeah kid, I know."

"Oh my god.."

"Listen kid, I'm not fond of my little girl being in a relationship. But she's in her room crying her eyes out, because her best friend, YOU won't talk to her. So I need you to go and have that hallmark moment and make up with each other."

Peter's heart breaks, he hates the idea of making you cry. Maybe he should of thought about that before ignoring you like that.

"Right. " Peter squares his shoulders and prepares to walk to you room.

"Woah" Tony says, grabbing him by the shoulder, " If she doesn't forgive you, you leave her alone."

"Wh-what?"

"Pete, I like you. I do, but Y/n is my daughter, and me and Pepper raised her to never let a man...or uh boy, to make her feel the way she does now."

"R-right..I get it. I need to talk to her."

"Okay, go for it kid. Just...don't mess up again, please. I can only handle so much drama."

"Right." He nods. He heads to your room, hands sweating as guilt swelled in his heart. He didn't mean to act like a douche. He really didn't.. it's just that, when he saw you with Jason it hurt. And then every time he would see you, he can see the way you cuddled with Jason on the couch. And how he looked at you, the same way Peter looked at you.

He reached the door to your room, and heard the conversation you were having with Wanda.

"I just..don't know what to do ..."

"Y/n you do not need to do anything. What you need to do is text Jason and go on a date."

No.

"Or you can go on a date with me~" SMACK "OW Wanda"

No.

"I can't do that...me and Jay-"

"You and the Wayne boy have a connection. We saw it."

"But...Me and Peter had a connection."

"Yeah until he ruined it." "Pietro!"

"No he's right." You sigh, " I haven't even seen Peter in a week and every time I do he glares at me."

"Exactly. So you know what you have to do."

A silent pause. Then Peter heard you sigh and say

"Okay I'll text him."

Oh hell no. Peter burst into your room, "Y/nIMSORRYI'MAJERKPLEASEDONTSTOBEINGMYFRIENDANDPLEASEDON'TGOOUTWITHJASON!!"

You, Wanda, and Pietro jumped, turning to the door where Peter just busted in.

"Peter? what?"

"He's lost it, I'll take him out."

"PIETRO" "What?"

"Y/n...I'm so sorry." Peter says softly, "You're my best friend. The one person that...that I really trust. I love spending time with you. ANd how you're face looks when you're watching movies. I love how competitive you get when we play board games"

"Oh barf!" "Pietro!"

"Peter you really hurt me..."

"I know, and I'm so sorry. I just..." Peter sighs, " I was just...I was jealous. You and Jason were so close and...and I thought he'd take you away from me..and I- I'm so sorry."

You stay quiet, digesting what Peter just told you.

"Peter I...I"

"Let me take you out."Peter says quickly.

"What? Pete maybe that's not such a good idea..."

"Please? I wanna make it up to you. Just you and me."

You look at Wanda and she shrugs, leaving it up to you,

"Alright. This is your last chance."

"Awesome."

Where I Belong - Pt 3

This was supposed to be a one shot but it got a little lengthy. So I broke it into 3 (much shorter) parts. I am so bad with titles.

________

Summary: The boys try to figure out what it means to haunt something.

Pt 1, Pt 2, Pt 3

_______

“Can a ghost’s haunt be a lifer?” It wasn’t exactly how he intended on greeting his boyfriend. However, after yesterday and comparing notes with the guys it seemed the most likely scenario. Alex just needed to double check, despite how sure Reggie and Luke seemed to be. Willie the godsend that he is, just went with the flow of conversation like this was how they always greeted each other.

“You think your haunt is a,” Willie stopped. His head subtly shifted in a nod as he looked like he had an epiphany, “Julie.”

“What? How did you get that so quickly?” Alex realized his voice had gone up in pitch. He just couldn’t do anything about it. “It took us weeks.”

“Alex,” Willie’s voice went softer and he had forgone the nickname. Probably in an effort to help ease Alex’s anxiety. His voice was nice like that, and Alex loved when Willie uses his actual name, on the rare occasions that he does. Willie continued on, his voice now shifted to a long suffering tone. “The first conversation you and I ever had was 70% you talking about Julie. That night I took you guys to the club, before you all got distracted, it was like every 5 minutes one of you had to remind me of your gig with Julie. Over the past few months, if you weren't talking about the band, you were talking about Julie”

“Well when you lay it all out like that it seems obvious.” Alex mumbles, his own brain remembering back to the first night the guys had literally dropped into Julie’s life. How, no matter how hard she kept trying to push them away, they just couldn’t seem to stop bothering her. Then all his questions and concerns began to flood back, “Ok, but what does this mean?”

Willie shushed Alex as he brought him into a side hug, “Having a lifer haunt isn’t unheard of. Rare but not unheard of.”

Alex nodded, he was tired of being on the special end of ghostdom. Sure it meant he apparently was capable of doing amazing things other ghosts could only dream of. It also meant no one ever had answers for him. He hated not knowing things. The unknown was terrifying and filled with too many scenarios that his brain loved to torment him with. So it was a mild relief to hear that in this instance he wasn’t alone.

“So, when a ghost's haunt is a lifer there are usually limited reasons why.” Willie continued, of course he could tell Alex had more questions, angel that he was. “One, they were closely tied to the lifer when still alive. Or two, the lifer is somehow connected to their unfinished business.”

Alex frowned. Julie had often thought somehow her mom had connected her to the guys. It would also make sense that if their unfinished business was music related they would need a lifer who could make that happen. However, as he thought each option over they didn’t sound or rather feel quite right. “There isn’t a third option.”

“Not that anyone has heard of, hotdog.” Willie grimaced slightly but kept his tone neutral. His hand made comforting circles on Alex’s back.

“Of course not.” Alex sighed. He leaned into Willie. “I think I'd like to worry about that more tomorrow and just enjoy some time with you. If that’s ok?”

“That’s more than ok, hotdog” Willie’s head came to rest on Alex’s shoulder. Alex then understood some of what Willie had been explaining before. Some of the anxiety he didn’t even realize that he was holding onto died a little. Sure they had their haunts that would always feel like home, but that also didn’t make this any less special. It didn’t make this feel any less right.

_________

OVERALL STORY AN: JATP Fanfic Masterlist; I had read a “know that it’s probably magic” on AO3 by thessaonlike(starblessed). I guess this is my brain's way of playing with the same idea but from the guy's perspective. Also this story came out backwards. Like that last part was the first thing I wrote, so I kinda backwards engineered the story into existence.

So, after spending 5min on Tumblr to check out what the response is to The Santa Clauses show, I'm kinda confused...? Because it was kinda an ok show...

I mean, was the new wave-of-sensebilities ever present? Yeah. Was it standing out like a sore thumb? Often, yeah. Can I name more than 5 examples of “woke” stuff that has bothered me? No, I can't. Because the rest was pretty much keeping up with Tim Allen's style of humour (also, the creator of this show did Last Man Standing), because it did try to stay true to the first movie (and sequels) with simply calling out things by its name. If anything, I would say the show got away with rather many conservative-stye humour moments that- especially considering some ridiculous things today- really made them more funny then they would have been 28years ago.

Also, to me the biggest surprise was that the Christian background of the holiday was a topic, and even woven into the story that much. You ever heard of the witch Befana? She is delivering gifts to children in Italy on Epiphany Eve (5th of January) and is closely associated with the Three Magi who brought gifts to baby Jesus (and are celebrated on January 6th). Wanna know why the red coat of Santa is magical and important? Because it turns out it was made out of the cape of the actual St. Nicolaus. Seriously, this, the mention of Krampus as well as other Santas being angelic-eternal beings, are great additions. Having a Disney+ show practically directly knowledge the actual background of “the holiday season” is a big thing.

Other than that, I did get invested with the story and characters, they all grew on me with time.

Most of the “problems” this show has are simple writing/directing problems that easily can happen on any kind of show and hopefully will be solved by season 2.

This were my random thoughts, do with them what you like.

#my ramblings #random thoughts #do with them what you like #this show is fine #not perfect but charming #it did make me wish for more #the santa clauses #tv shows #things i like

unlikely allies ; txt x reader

part: one ,, next chapter / previous chapter

plot: when a zombie apocalypse breaks out in your town, you're forced to team up with a group of boys from very different social standards in your school.

genre: fluff, angst, horror i guess?, not really that scary but alright, some funny moments

w/c: 3.6K

warnings: blood, gruesome scenes (kind of really detailed), cursing, everyone hates each other, definitely some major injuries, zombies duh, everyone kinda pining for mc

︵︵︵︵︵︵︵︵︵︵︵︵︵

he sighs looking at the both of you. "if we wanna make it out of here alive...we're gonna have to fight."

silence. the room was engulfed in silence, save for the growling and moaning of the monsters outside the door. you and yeonjun stared wide-eyed at taehyun who was mirroring your expressions.

"excuse me what?" yeonjun blurted. "we don't even know what those things are and you wanna go out there and risk getting torn to shreds like the nurse? are you crazy?" all you could do was shake your head in fear. you were still shaken up from watching someone get eaten alive.

"s-she...i saw her get eaten and then she just s-stood up? she came back to life somehow?" you questioned out loud. the boys looked at you with fear in their eyes. yeonjun stared at your shaken state and frowned turning to taehyun. "see? if go out there we're gonna die!"

"well do you have any other suggestions? if we stay here we starve to death or something like that, it's better to go out looking for help and finding others before more of them corner us here!" taehyun was making a lot of points right now but going out there? where you just saw a woman die and come back to life? that would happen to you guys if you weren't prepared.

you tried to calm yourself by taking a deep breath, "ok i agree with taehyun...but we need to be really prepared. we may not be capable of murder at this moment but we can take them on enough to get away right?"

taehyun nods but yeonjun just paces around the room anxiously. "you guys are insane. i can't believe i'm gonna die here of all places." you and taehyun watch yeonjun tug at his blonde hair. he suddenly pauses. "i have an idea. what if we don't actually try to take them on." he looked at you both expectedly.

"what do you mean?" you asked. he rolled his eyes, "we could try to just trap them in here and make our escape." taehyun nods at yeonjun's vague plan, "i get what you mean. before we start though we should take some stuff with us. we got lucky that we're in the nurse's office, we can take stuff in case we get injured."

all three of you split up around the office to pick up anything that might be helpful. "its a good thing i brought my bookbag with me," taehyun chuckles dryly. you pack up all the stuff you grabbed and help him zip up the bag. "ok so here's how we'll go forward with the plan."

•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••

yeonjun sighs shakily as he crouches behind the door. "this was my plan so why do i have to be the one to open the door?!" he angrily whispers to you. you're hiding behind the nurse's desk which is right beside the door, glaring at him, "just shut up and wait for taehyun's cue. if they hear you, we're screwed."

"will you two stop arguing. if anything i'm the one with the risker job," taehyun glares at you both. he's standing in the middle of the office, just a little bit away from the desk. "let's go over the plan just one more time so nothing unexpected happens," he's nervous and you can hear it in his voice. he's trying to act brave like earlier. yeonjun starts, "simple, i open the door letting the monsters in. they won't notice me since i'm crouched below the window." you sigh, continuing, "once the monsters come running in, i pull the stethoscope attached that chair other there as hard as i can. they'll trip over it sending them tumbling."

taehyun takes a deep breath, "and i'll be standing here as bait. once i see that they're both down, that should give me enough time to run out and shut the door on them." yeonjun bites his lip, "i hope this works...my heart is racing seriously."

since taehyun is now visible from the one lamp shining down on him, the monsters outside now have new adrenaline in them, viciously gnawing at the door's window. you don't realize it but you all take a deep breath.

"3″

"2″

"1!"

as soon as taehyun yells, yeonjun swings the door open. the zombies pretty much bum rush through it to get to taehyun as soon as a slither of it was cracked open, effectively managing to swing the door all the way to the wall. you watch it hit yeonjun's arm roughly and flinch. he tries to hold back a gasp and squeezes his eyes shut.

you turn your attention to your task and pull on the stethoscope. thankfully it's stretchy enough to cause the zombies to trip over it. they tumble over each other and skid across the floor. you get up to run out the door and pull yeonjun with you who's clutching his arm.

however, when you look back taehyun is not behind you, instead, he's scrambling to the nurse's closet. apparently you overestimated the recovery time of a simple stumble to the floor. they managed to get up quickly enough to chase after taehyun who thankfully was also quick enough to notice a flawed plan. "shit!" you yell out before you could think. the zombies turn their attention to you and yeonjun who are standing by the door.

they come running at you but you slam the door shut in their faces. great, now taehyun was in there and you both were out here. not to mention, he's the one with all the supplies.

"damn it!" yeonjun kicks the door in frustration. the zombies are tweaking out watching you both from inside the office. thankfully they don't notice the closet door slowly creep open.

taehyun sneaks out of the closet in a painfully slow manner, as to not get detected. he ducks behind the desk, holding his breath. he waits a moment before rising from his hiding spot and hurling a pack of unopened pens at where the cots are located. you watch the zombies whip their heads toward the sound and clamber in that direction. taehyun crawls out from behind the desk and runs toward the door. the lunch lady, who is behind the nurse, notices taehyun and runs toward him and at full blown speed.

your heart is pounding so fast, it genuinely feels like time is going in slow motion. the monster is only like a foot behind the red-haired boy. you throw the door open for taehyun and he launches himself like the outside hallway is home base. you and yeonjun once again slam the door closed on the zombie who face plants into it with a groan.

you let out a breath you didn't even know you were holding. sliding down to sit on the floor, you glance at taehyun. he's recovering from literally upper body diving out of the room but you figure he's fine since he's used to it from playing baseball so long. yeonjun seems fine too since he's not holding onto his arm anymore.

after a moment, you speak up, "are you ok?" it's not exactly a question directed at either of the two boys. you kind of are just asking yourself that but yeonjun answers anyways, "i think i'm ok, my arm is aching though. the door slammed on me pretty hard but im ok."

taehyun backs himself against the lockers opposite from you too. "i'm fine too." you examine him though you can't see him from the distance and the dimming hallway lights. his face is riddled in sweat and you can kind of see tears running down his face but he notices you staring and harshly wipes them away. he sighs letting his head rest on the lockers.

"i thought that would be easier...i thought i was gonna die back there. thanks for not leaving me," you feel like he means that so you make a noise of acknowledgment. yeonjun also nods at him but doesn't say anything.

it's dead silent in the hallway and you hope it's because the rest of the school is hiding not because they're dead. if you don't think of the circumstances you'd think it's somewhat peaceful.

taehyun breaks the silence, "what if there are other people in here in that same situation." he's not looking at you, he's looking into the abyss of darkness that is your school's hallway. once buzzing with students who you wished would shut the fuck up and move to their next class is now a ghost town. it's eerie and it leaves you with an unsettling feeling just thinking about what hides beyond the darkness.

"fuck no," yeonjun says. he's calm and you hope he doesn't lash out at what taehyun's suggesting. "taehyun..." you mumble. you don't want to say it out loud because you hate how it will sound. well, yeonjun says it for you, "did you hit your head on the way out. you almost died, dude! i know you're having some kind of epiphany about helping others and what not but think about this: those two zombie things aren't the only ones in this school. we could really die in here so we need to get o-"

"shut the fuck up!" taehyun spits. you can tell he's trying not to yell just in case there really are other zombies out here. "do you seriously only care about yourself? what if there really are other people waiting to be helped? we can't just leave them to die in this stupid ass school!" he gets up with some struggle, clutching his wrists again.

"look im not saying you have to help them but it would be really cool if you did...the more people that are alive the more likely we are to survive," with that he starts walking down into the darkness of the hallway. yeonjun scoffs and looks at you. you bite your lip. "i know it's risky...risking our lives for other people but i would feel like shit if i just let people die here while i run off like a coward."

yeonjun watches you run after taehyun. he's now left alone standing outside of the nurse's office. the zombies haven't quieted down and he wonders how much energy they have. he sighs dramatically, running after you both, "hey wait up!"

•·················•·················•

"so where are we headed?" your school isn't that big but it isn't that small either. there are three floors in total but most of the important rooms are on the first floor where you guys are located. taehyun clears his throat, "i was thinking we should get some weapons just in case. the gym's locker room/storage closet is where the team's baseball bats are located, we should be fine against those things if we manage to snag the metal ones."

once he answers you the silence surrounds you three again. you had been walking quite slowly since you didn't know if you'd encounter another zombie soon. it would be better if you could see but the power in the lights seemed to have died out. the school really did feel scarier when the lights were off.

"isn't it still day time outside?" yeonjun randomly asks. now that you think about it, he's right. if you were thinking about the time you took yeonjun to the nurse's office it was around 2 pm. "wait you're right," taehyun stops and turns around. "it was last period when you guys got to the nurse's office."

"damn it, i left my phone in my bookbag," you mumble. you thought it would be a quick trip to the nurse's office so you left it back in the class. yeonjun pats himself down and grumbles, "mine must've fallen out of my pocket during the fight. man, i fucking hate soobin! if i ever see him again he's dead."

you ignore yeonjun and look at taehyun expectantly, "sorry mines dead. i was playing with it while i was waiting for the nurse to come back," he answers sheepishly. you sigh, "we could've called for help since it's not late we could've called our parents or better yet, the police."

"don't worry, i'm sure they'll worry that we aren't coming back from school yet," yeonjun reassures. "i had practice today and my mom doesn't know i broke my wrist so she won't be expecting me home until after practice so i don't think she'll be worried until then."

yeonjun suddenly grabs taehyun's arm. you look at him in alarm because that was really random. this boy has just been full of spontaneous actions lately. "if you had practice today doesn't that mean the team would've been gathered in the gym by now?" a look of realization hits taehyun but he masks it quickly. "they're capable... they wouldn't have been turned into zombies, i'm sure there are some survivors," he sounds like he's trying to convince himself more than you guys.

as you're growing closer to the gym though, taehyun doesn't tell you that he's the best player on the team. he doesn't tell you that none of his other teammates can properly wield a bat. yes, any idiot can hold a bat but to properly swing it for the hit to have an impact takes real practice, practice that his teammates just haven't mastered. he doesn't tell you that he really doesn't think anyone in that gym has survived.

"you hear that?" yeonjun whispers stepping closer to the gym doors. there it goes again, the unmistakable moaning and groaning of the zombies. the sounds are harsher and louder being that there seem to be a lot of people in the gym at once. "damn that must be the team," you mutter. "there's no way anyone in there survived."

"we-we have to try and find out," taehyun tries. you eye him. you really don't think you'll get out of this one alive but you don't tell him that.

"we can cause some kind of distraction like last time," yeonjun suggests. "yeahhh no, im not doing that ever again," taehyun deadpans. "i think he means like what you did with the pens. that seemed to work...i think they react a lot to loud sounds."

there's a moment of silence where you all are just thinking. "your phone!" you turn to taehyun. he raises an eyebrow at you, "it's dead y/n." you shake your head, "look since it's dead and you really won't be needing it, we can just throw it somewhere in the gym. the impact of the phone hitting the wall will alert the zombies and they'll move. then we can maneuver ourselves through the darkness of the gym into the storage room to see if anyone's in there!"

both boys are staring at you with a weird look in their eyes but none of them say what they're really thinking. "that's... actually not a bad idea. the gym is big so there's no way we'll run into one. and since it looks like the lights are off they won't see us if we keep close to the walls," taehyun reiterates.

"ok so let's just get this over with," yeonjun mutters. you look at yeonjun who's staring into the gym, "you didn't have to come with us." you don't wanna sound rude but if he's just gonna complain the whole time then you'd rather be with just taehyun. "yeah right as if i'd venture off on my own in a school full of flesh-eating monsters," he rolls his eyes. "plus i'm the one who comes up with all the good plans, you guys need me."

"whatever," taehyun answers dryly. he's already starting to open the door to the gym, telling you guys that that's your cue to shut up. walking behind yeonjun, who's behind taehyun, you all crouch in a stealthy manner. you wouldn't call yourself the most athletic person but damn, why are your thighs starting to hurt? yeonjun cranes his neck to look back at you and when he sees you struggling to keep up, he slows down.

"what the fuck are you doing?" he whisper-yells. you don't know if the zombies can hear him but that sounded quite loud to you. you glare at him when the groans in the gym increase slightly in volume. "my thighs hurt, just- just leave me alone and tell taehyun to throw the damn phone." you see yeonjun purse his lips but turn to taehyun, telling him to get on with the plan. taehyun looks over to you with confusion and ?concern? written all over his face and all you do is nod at him.

he gets up slightly from his crouched position on the ground, still kind of in a half squat. he lets out a breath, preparing himself to pitch his phone. you watch in awe as you see taehyun get in the zone. you know this is a serious moment and everything but he looks good when he's focused.his eyes are trained on where he's made a mental target to throw to. even in this weird setting of a gym full of zombies of his own teammates, you can see that his breathing is steady. you wonder why you'd never been to any of the school's home baseball games when you realize that taehyun had somewhat of a cult following. right, just like yeonjun everyone liked him and you just figured it was for nothing or that he was overhyped but you can see why now.

drawing you out of your thoughts was the sound of taehyun's phone crashing against the gym's wall. at the moment in which you were daydreaming about him, he must've thrown it. "ok cmon we gotta hurry, that might not keep them that occupied," taehyun whispers. you turn to look at the zombies which, thankfully, fell for your trick. they were all gathered in the direction where taehyun had thrown his phone. you all rose from your crouched positions and ran the rest of the way to the gym's locker room.

once inside you all let out a breath. "i can't believe that worked," you sigh. "i'm glad it did," yeonjun also sighs. "ok let's go get those bats, once we have them then we might be safe," taehyun leads you both to where he knows they are. walking down the locker room's hallway is even creepier than walking down the normal hallway. there are no windows plus the lights are out so it's even darker in here. once again you're the behind yeonjun who's behind taehyun. you feel uncomfortable and almost feeling like there's an eerie presence behind you. you never liked to be last; the shiver you get through your spine from the mere thought of something following you was weird.

just then you whip your body around but you feel it before you see it. a zombie that must've been in the locker room before you got here hovering over you. you're not sure what happened but it must've flown at you hard enough to knock your body to the ground. it was snapping and snarling in your face trying to get a bite. your eyes were closed but all your other sensed were heightened and you could definitely hear yourself shrieking wildly. you weren't sure what taehyun and yeonjun were doing but you guessed they were standing and staring in shock and horror. you are surely gonna die here.

just then, the back of the zombie's skull was knocked in with so much force that it came out through the front, effectively landing on the upper half of your body and face. just like that, it was no longer trying to devour you, instead, slumping down onto you like a lifeless doll.

you wanted to throw up but you bit it back. you figured the image of you on the floor with blood and a bashed brain spilling out of a once alive human on you was enough.

the body was thrown off you in an instant and there stood choi beomgyu looking over you with so much concern that you were scared you turned into a zombie and were about to suffer the same fate as the corpse next to you. "oh my god y/n," his eyebrows are furrowed and his mouth is agape. he kneels down to wipe the brain remnants off you but he does it hastily and not that gentle really. you flinch and he pauses, "s-sorry its just that...well i don't know. i didn't think anyone else was alive and then i see you but you're about to get eaten so i mean-." you cut him off with a shaky hand lifted when you realize he's rambling.

he wants to go in to hug you and shout for joy that thankfully his crush- i mean... thankfully you are alive but yeonjun steps in, "dude oh my god y/n, are you okay?" you don't turn around to look at him or taehyun because frankly, you're too shaken up to even stand.

"thank you beomgyu," you whisper the expression and you kind of hope it sounds spiteful towards the other two boys for not really doing anything to help. taehyun looks down and bites his lip and yeonjun just looks at you. beomgyu smiles lightly and helps you stand and when you turn around you see the other two boys flinch at what you look like.

you know you must look horrifying with blood all over you and you want to cry. not because you look absolutely disgusting in front of the two of the most popular boys at your school but because you almost died in front of them. you let out a sob and taehyun steps forward but beomgyu is already ahead of him. "oh y/n... it's ok. look," he wipes your face with his shirt and you feel even worse. "we're alive, you're alive, it's gonna be ok."
