Next up is Finn Blake, our resident final boy, baseball player and resident necromancer!!
I was really worried I made Finn look too old for his age as a 13 to 14 year old, but I decided to just go with it because I already headcannon Finn as really tall so if he looks older I’m really sorry,
But anyway, in this au Finn is a necromancer (and later I’ll have to outline the rules and logics behind this) but after his kidnapping and him killing the Grabber he gained a lot of confidence and self worth.
I headcannon that before the reason why Finn never really stood up for himself was because he was scared and that he felt it was just better to take it than create more trouble as he has seen what standing up to an abuser does (I.e. the scene with Gwen and her dad.) he felt it just wasn’t worth it to get hurt more for being defiant.
And sadly only after his kidnapping, realized that he can’t do that anymore because being complacent in one’s abuse isn’t worth it, that it’s better to be loud and defiant then to just keep taking the punches.
However no matter how confident Finn is now he still has trauma, he never lets any of the ghost boys leave anywhere alone and neither does he, he always manages to keep a baseball bat on his person, and lastly the night terrors.
Finn has nightmares of those dying, he dreams he never left that basement, that Griffin and Robin and all the boys were still dead, he dreams of the Grabber somehow learning about Gwen and killing her. It scared him, it leaves him rushing into one of his siblings rooms to check on them.
And Finn is also the resident shoulder to lean on, he gave the boys life again and saw them at their literal lowest and saw their traumas laid out, the boys trust him a lot. For some it’s easier to come to him but for others it’s harder and Finn knows this because somehow he can always tell.
Overall Finn is a clever, sweet, confident young kid who tries to help the people he cares about.
A few weeks ago, I failed to install a wifi card into my pc because my brother who built it in 2016 put a cooler on my 2012 graphics card that, yes, somehow makes me able to run things that modern gaming setups struggle with, but also blocks off every last bit of motherboard.
I said I'd drive over my pc over the summer and we could tinker around with it once he figured out what minor change would make it possible. He was excited. He hasn't had an excuse to tinker in months, and pcs are his favorite to tinker with.
Guys, I just arrived at the family vacation and he somehow went from "looking at second choice and used computer parts for a minor pc upgrade" to "so I built you a new pc, it just needs hard drives".
There is one part that is not refurbished or second hand, and none of it is younger than 2022. He found a gorgeous white case for cheap because it was absolutely filthy and scrubbed it until you can literally see your face in it, even the parts that aren't glass. His casual questions about what games I'm running and which ones are giving me trouble turned out to be him future proofing. There's a red bow on top.
i feel it's so fucking stupid and ungrateful but it still hurts a little when someone gifts me something i just don't like. i don't know. i know it's dumb and inaccurate to astrain that much meaning to a simple gift, but it feels kinda like they don't know me. i guess it feels like people don't see me, like a reminder that the person i reflect and the person i feel like are incredibly different.
Being a gifted kid is so stressful you either get really into a niche incomprehensible smart sounding subject and get a nobel prize or you watch anime and get depression.

It’s me, Victor. I’ve found Pudding.
Not sure when, but he somehow crawled into the suitcase, and now came out on his own after waking up from his nap.
Hm, it’s the suitcase we were planning to take to the desert.
Yep, thankfully, although he flipped over the contents inside and caused a mess, the gastronomic map and camping equipment a certain someone had placed in there earlier are intact. So your plans for enjoying barbecue and stargazing won’t be compromised.
The red dress you wanted to wear for taking pictures is also in there. And all those jingling accessories that were tangled together— I’ve properly sorted them out for you.
However, there are now more of Pudding’s toys in the suitcase… and he’s still spinning around the area of the suitcase.
[Pudding meowing adorably ~pitifully~]
He seems to be stating explicitly that he wants to join us for the Qixi Festival.
Whether to bring him along with us or not, let’s decide when you come back.

【In-game Call】
Victor: Have you left the house yet?
MC: Of course, and I’m already in the car. How about you? Have you wrapped up the meeting?
Victor: Yep, but I also found a certain someone’s new masterpiece on my office desk, and I’m still finding it a challenge to figure out what the original inspiration is.
MC: …you really can’t tell? It’s obviously a cup!
Victor: Sure enough, your self-confidence is not to be underestimated.
Victor: It resembles a vase, it resembles a spray bottle–– but it just doesn’t look like a cup.
MC: Even if it doesn’t look like a cup, the pattern drawn on the surface should still be identifiable, no?
Victor: Your artistic style has always been abstract, and the tree branch next to the chestnut is somewhat satisfactory.
MC: …the paintings on the cup are clearly several skillfully rendered fruits nestled within the grass. It’s quite easily distinguishable.
Victor: Mhm, the blackish blob is indeed “easily distinguishable.”
Victor: Speaking of which, a certain someone mentioned wanting to try out a pottery workshop last month. It turns out she was already preparing this gift back then.
MC: Hehe, the most important value of a gift lies in the sentiments behind it. I’m sure CEO Victor shares the same feelings, doesn’t he?
MC: So, will my gift be a sumptuous feast, or some sort of handmade craft like the one I gave you?
Victor: Isn’t a certain someone usually filled with all sorts of whimsical ideas?
Victor: How come you’re being so restrained during a crucial matter like this?
MC: …! Seeing how you are boasting like this, aren’t you afraid of potentially not living up to my expectations when the time comes?
Victor: I understand the thoughts of a certain dummy better than anyone.
Victor: Even if your expectations are sky-high, I’m confident I can have you giggling all night long while hugging your gift.
MC: Humph, if you can’t achieve this result, then will CEO Victor step in for the gift and let me hug him all night long instead?
Victor: You sure know how to make demands.
Victor: Nonetheless, all of this is contingent on you not being late. Otherwise, it’ll be like fetching water with a bamboo basket – all in vain.

[Tidbits]: the word cup (杯子) actually has the similar pronunciation to 辈子 (meaning one’s entire life). So, it’s considered a romantic gift among couples to express their emotions of being together for a lifetime~

“Using handmade offerings to pray for ‘predestined love and marriage’ is somewhat elusive. The wish to never be separated— just expressing it to me like this is enough.”
