ahhhh decided to make a salmon run oc, just for my lil filth son Stir Fry :D
me rambling under the cut lmao
Tumblr media
I think Shokumaw is pretty straightforward, she’s basically just a big maw with a few more stuff and HP
she has a lifesaver lure to bait players into getting close enough for her attacks
I imagine she has a bit more HP than the Cohozuna (like how maws have a lot of hp when you’re trying to kill em without using bombs)
Shokumaws attacks would probably be a bit similar to Shiver’s boss fight mixed with regular maws stuff
Tumblr media
she can dash through the stage like a reefslider with her jaws open, you can throw bombs in her path to stop her dash early and do a pretty significant amount of damage
Tumblr media
she also has the regular maws attack where she lunches upward to eat players from underneath when she’s close enough to a player, these attacks can also be triggered when she’s hiding if the player shoots/throws a bomb at her life saver
i imagine her Xtra Wave would be a lil bit extra, like at the end of wave 3, the animation of everyone jumping back plays, except a small cutscene animation plays where the copter just fucking crashes in this random ass island, like some kind of abandoned shifty station/small single player stage with ink rails and stuff
the island also has lil rivers and stuff dividing the dry land, i should probably draw this lmao
(also those grind rails arent entirely safe, Shokumaw can also still reach those)
oh also, alsode from the lesser salmonids, the only bosses that can spawn are stingers, maws and steel eels
Tumblr media
because every other problem will be caused by fry with 6 special weapons he can spam (specifically reefslider, wail, zip, crab, big bubbler... and missiles)
fry targets the nearest player and will only change targets every 10 seconds or if the player gets splatted, aside from the specials, he can switch between grizzco splatana and charger, and if a player gets too close, he can switch to grizzco blaster (yk, just to not make things fair, best counter for this is to have a teammate splat him from behind or have a long range weapon)

hey uh dread, who are the crayon monster people from HatchetVerse (lords in black i think?) ? U keep rebloging stuff abt them and now im curious.
Oh boy oh son OH MAN OH NOOOOO
YOU’RE GOING TO FUCKING REGRET THIS 😭😭
LONG POST AHEAD!!
So, the lords in black are a family of eldritch beings from the HachetVerse (as you correctly said). They are made up of a group of 5 brothers. While you can also include they’re sister, she is her own separated thing
Each lord in black are associated with a particular “theme” and each have their own dolls. They are from a realm outside of all dimensions (or timelines) known as the Black and White. They can be summoned or you can use their powers through a spell book known as “The Black Book” (Ik so creative)
Tumblr media
Wiggly, or W’gog Y’Wrath is their leader; “The lord in black”. He has his own musical in the trilogy, with him being the main antagonist of Black Friday. He’s associated a lot with squids and octopuses with his whole tentacle motif. His powers mainly include driving people mad and space manipulation. He represents capitalism and wrath.
Pokey, or Poketho, “the one singular voice”. He’s the most … “unkempt” one. In the words of his sister “He hates every voice that isn’t his own”. He’s the first LiB we meet in the first musical of the trilogy, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals. Unlike Wiggly, he can out right take over people’s minds and he LOVES musicals! Although he’s very pretentious and petty. He’s supposed to represent envy and vanity I’m pretty sure.
Next is Tinky or T’Noy Karaxis! “The bastard of time and space”. While he has no musical, he does make his appearance in NPMD (where all of them show up). But he mainly shows up in Nightmare time, a side series of the Hatchetfeild trilogy. His title is pretty self explanatory, he can manipulate time and space. He’s the most sadistic of them all and like to torture one guy in particular for all of eternity.
Then we have Blinkey or Blinklotep. “The watcher with a thousand eyes”. Like Tinky he’s mainly in Nightmare time and shows up in NPMD. However there is a line in a COMPLETELY separate OTHER starkid show called trail to Oregon where a character refers to the audience as “the watchers with a thousand eyes” but WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO GET INTO THAT! He also drives people mad :) He’s just a little guy who like to look :)
Finally we have my personal favorite, Nibbly! Or Nibblenephim! “The insatiable”. He’s the super gender one that’s walk-in round she/her but is still him. Femme he/him swag!! He like to EAT. He CONSUMES. He’s uhm… he represents uhm… vore. Same situation as Blinky and Tinky with his appearances.
Then we have Webby! “The queen in white”. We have no idea what her doll looks like or her true name. She is limited to a mention in Black Friday and all her content is in Nightmare time. She is associated with a lot of spider imagery (Ik very similar to Wiggly and his octopuses with a strange, 8 legged creature). She is however, LUCKILY NOT EVIL! She has a strained relationship with her brothers but they are her or at least were mentors. Wiggly HATES her for some reason. She’s also a massive dork lmao. Here she is!!
Tumblr media
I could rant all day about my theories yeah that’s the basic basics
Fact check me if I’m wrong no beta we die like Maxwell Jäegerman
if you want to learn more WATCH THE MUSICALS AND NIGHTMARE TIME.

Strange Days (Kathryn Bigelow, 1995)
Tumblr media
Strange Days (Kathryn Bigelow, 1995) is a science fiction thriller set in Los Angeles during the last two days of 1999. With the general consensus being that the end of the world is imminent: Los Angeles has devolved into a warzone of debauchery, violence, and crime. The film centers around ex-cop Lenny, who deals SQUID devices on the black market. SQUIDS are illegal devices that record peoples’ physical sensations and memories from their cerebral cortex onto a mini CD disc that allows them to be played back and experienced by anyone. 
Tumblr media
Lenny’s ex-girlfriend Faith’s friend Iris ends up recording police murdering black rapper and activist Jeriko One. The audience has only briefly been introduced to Jeriko via a speech he gives on television protesting the police state that Los Angeles has fallen into and pushing for peace. Since Jeriko’s character is not further developed before he is killed, he exists as more of a symbolic placeholder for all of the innocent black people that police have murdered. Iris is then chased by police but ends up getting the tape to Lenny before she is brutally raped and murdered. Lenny and his driver/bodyguard/friend Mace (who is also in love with him) then have to run from everyone who’s trying to kill them and Mace gets the tape of the murder to the police commissioner. 
It’s interesting that even in this apocalyptic, end-of-the-world setting, racially motivated violence and police brutality are still prominent. Bigelow has discussed in interviews being motivated to begin production following impactful incidents in the 90’s such as the Lorena Bobbit trial and the Rodney King verdict and the riots that followed in 1992. Multiple of the characters in Strange Days are overtly racist (ie. the cops/murderers), but more subtle racism also permeates throughout. When trying to figure out how to get the video of Jeriko’s murder to the public, Mace and Lenny go to Lenny’s “friend” Max (who will turn out to be an awful person) for help. Max says simply that Lenny and Mace should not show the tape because there will be riots. In this moment Max is willing to silence the story of police murdering a black man to avoid causing a more than warranted uprising.
Bigelow seems to have intentionally sought to explore the intersection between race and gender as she stated that she created Mace’s character to examine "valuable connections between female victimisation and racial oppression." Mace proves to be stronger and more confident than Lenny; she repeatedly saves their lives and gets them out of tricky situations, yet she is still reduced to the role of his bodyguard/driver, and not given much of a story outside of Lenny’s world. At one point when they are in the car, she points out this dynamic saying “driving Mr. Lenny,�� a reference to the film Driving Ms. Daisy (Bruce Beresford, 1989). Mace is additionally in love with Lenny because he stepped in and helped her take care of her son when the kid’s father was no longer around. Despite Mace being a strong, smart, and badass, black woman, her story is somewhat reduced to being the white man’s sidekick. She is also in love with Lenny for the entire film and when they eventually kiss at the end, it feels like she has now only existed to be his love interest.

Stolen coat:
One shot: SFW, Father-Daughter fluff
"Has any of ya seen ma'coat?" Newgate asked as he stopped briefly in front of a group of his sons, they were sat in a circle on deck playing cards, they shook their heads and went back to their game.
Sighing the man carried on his search, he'd only taken it off to help Thatch carry a huge Squid he'd caught down to the kitchen, he didn't want to get any black ink stains on the white fabric. He'd just left it on his chair for not even 10 minutes, when he'd come back it was gone.
He presumed it was one of his brats playing a prank on him, however the normal pranksters were busy doing their work. Of course it couldn't have been Thatch, the Yonko had gone and found Haruta, they were doing their evening training with Vista, so they weren't the culprit. And all the others that he could think of didn’t have it either...
Newgate was stumped.
Well this was pretty fucking vexing, he wasn’t really mad about the coat per say, more that he couldn't find which brat took it. Or rather he couldn't think of who. That annoyed him a great deal, the man took a great deal of pride in knowing he was always one step ahead, whether that be one of his kids trying to pull a fast one on him or an actual enemy...
He rounded a bend, intent on going to sit in his chair and sulk ponder while he had a drink, though he froze at the sight of a small giggling figure prancing around. The scene almost made him choke on a laugh...
Well he'd found his coat- and the culprit.
It was Grumpy, this was very unexpected. The little blonde girl hadn't even been on the crew a month, three weeks at most, but in that time she'd been either extremely nervous, not really saying or doing anything unless prompted or in his case only a bitey little monster with an attitude problem...
With exception of the apprentices, no one on this ship really knew the girl, not in the way that mattered. She was this withdrawn, quiet and sad child, with a very distrustful and frightened haki always rolling off her.
In fact Newgate found that strangely he could never ignore her emotions. Even when he tried to block them out, he just couldn't... it was almost like trying to block out his own Haki, which was completely impossible to do.
So seeing Grumpy acting like an actual kid, was such a shocking relief, in fact he hadn't even realised how much joy it brought him and how worried he'd been, until he was watching the girl running around with his coat on, giggling at her own silly impressions of Newgate. He didn’t even care that she was making fun of him, only filled with happiness knowing that deep inside, the girl was still capable of being a little dorky idiot.
Tumblr media
It meant so much knowing that even with all that trauma, his daughter hadn't let it break her or let it consume what made her who she was. He knew many a person, adults even who would have given up at lesser things.
However with the right loving care and support, one day Grumpy could become this very same little idiot smiling and dancing around, it might take a great deal of time and effort, but if the end result was this child he was watching now, then it would be worth everything and more.
After a few minutes of watching the cute little scene before him, Newgate groaned, he didn't want to take it... but they would be arriving at the next island in a little while, as such Newgate would need his captain's coat back.
Reluctantly he approached the girl, making sure to be heard, then lightly tapped her on the head with his huge finger, crouching down in a poor attempt at seeming less big and intimidating.
Tumblr media
"I think that's a bit big for ya" Newgate tried to sound soft and gentle, while for the most part he wouldn't have bothered, there was no point trying to be something he wasn't, not when the girl would have to get to know him properly anyway, how would she know him if he wasn’t acting normal? It would be like lying, Grumpy wouldn't know him, she would know a fake...
And besides if the little brat was going to act like a grumpy little shit, who bit the man whenever he approached or heckled him with childish insults... Which admittedly both those things made the pirate piss himself laughing, he found her hilarious especially how she reacted to a bit of his teasing.
Point being, he was the type that followed the same kind of ideology in the sayings: If you can't take it, then don't dish it out and Treat others how you'd like to be treated.
Even to a kid, well a kid of Grumpy's age anyway, she was old enough to understand that if you were an ass to someone, then they were probably going to be an ass back...
Though after seeing how happy and relaxed Grumpy was, he couldn't bring himself to be anything but as nice as possible.
The girl looked up, beads of sweat were starting to run down her cheeks as her blue eye fixed on his own golden ones, though instead of fleeing like he expected, she went bright red, he was hit with a strong wave of embarrassment. Which made Newgate chuckle, okay, that was the second time he'd been surprised.
"Can I have my coat back?" He asked still sniggering as she was slowly starting to resemble a tomato, Grumpy looked down, fidgeting, finally pulling down her head scarf over her eye.
He couldn't hold in his bellowing laugh as her lion ears and tail popped out, pushing her bandanna off her head a bit as the ears appeared.
"SH- UT SHUT UP STUPID OLD GEEZER!" The girl yelled flustered, this pushed Newgate over the edge, he landed on his knees, banging his hand on the wooden deck, wheezing his ass off.
Abruptly having his coat chucked over his head, still laughing, he heard the sound of feet running, as his embarrassed daughter retreated.

Bi•valve
Tumblr media
Noun
an aquatic mollusk that has a compressed body enclosed within a hinged shell, such as oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops.
AKA
The Most Common Seashell in the Ocean
————————
Vol. 2: Into the Deep // Ch. 7
Type: Poseidon x reader
Word Count: 3,000+
Masterlist
————————
A loud creak fills the night air as you make your way through the empty halls. You feel yourself freeze for a second, holding your breath as you listen for any signs of movement. For any signs that someone else would be in the halls as well. Thankfully no one was actually there and, once you deem it is safe to continue, you round the corner to the staircase.
Tonight marks your third day staying here. Well, technically five days but you don’t count the two you were unconscious. Even though you had asked, as well as begged, Marine to take you to see Triton on that first day he wouldn’t allow it.
“My Lady, You must stay in bed! You are still injured!”
“Please, My Lady! Master Triton is fine.”
“Lord Poseidon would behead me if he saw you up already!”
Which has led you to this. Sneaking out at the bleak of midnight to make your way to Triton’s Manor. Thankfully, yet also not, Poseidon doesn’t station knights in the Manors so you could easily make your way through the halls.
Sorry about this Marine…
You felt bad about tricking Marine like this—You could already imagine the heart attack the poor fish would get once it realized you had disappeared—But you couldn’t stay in that room for one more moment. All day, every day, for the past three days it was all about Poseidon’s and your’s picture perfect fairy tale love story.
Apparently, all of the servants, and you meant all, believed that you had stolen their dear lord’s heart and to protect you from the wicked Amphitrite he allowed you to take care of his son. So when Marissa—who was apparently Triton’s aunt on Amphrite’s side—tried to attack you, Poseidon was so worried about your safety that he made you stay in his kingdom instead. They said it was the love story of the millennium…
Honestly, they couldn’t have gotten more off from what really happened.
“Finally…” You gasp out as you see the exit in sight. Traveling across the vacant grand entrance, you stand in front of the cold stone door. It’s pure size and golden details makes you pause from grabbing onto its handle.
You can do this…
Taking a deep breath, you finally grasp the metal handle and give it a pull.
“It weighs so much…” You mumble to yourself as you put your whole body weight behind your next tug. No wonder Triton was so strong, these doors were no joke. If it weren’t for the fact you were underwater and it made things lighter, you, in no way, would be able to open this door.
If only that magical shield, or whatever it’s called, that was around the whole palace area wasn’t in place. That stupid thing that actually allowed gravity and no magic spells inside its area. You could have just swam out an open window instead of going through all this trouble.
But, what can you do... It’s not like you could actually boss Poseidon around. You were sure that you were on the last straw with that guy.
“Woah…” You gasp out as you peeked outside from the open door that was now wide enough to be able to slip outside.
Due to Atlantis—where Poseidon’s Castle was located—being on the ocean floor, the moon was able to shine down far enough. Leaving the place often dark with only lanterns or other god made items for light. Well, that’s based on what you saw from inside the manor.
Outside was a totally different story.
Angular fish, Jellyfish, Squids, Luminous Shrimps. All of them covered the night sea in a blurry of glowful colors in front of you. It looked like billions of stars in the night sky. Except for the fact they were actually closer to you.
“A Human…?” A squeaky voice calls out. Startled, you look around in confusion and it takes you a moment to realize that one of the Luminous Shrimp was calling out to you. As you raise your hand for it to latch onto your finger, making you let out a small giggle from its front antenna tickling at your skin, it gains the attention of the rest of the swarm of shrimp that were swimming nearby.
“A Human?”
“It really is.”
“Is she Lord Poseidon’s new bride?”
“What was her name again?”
“(Y/n)? Right?”
“(Y/n).” All the shrimp begin to chant as they swim over and tickle at your skin.
“H-hey!” You giggle out, twitching and wrinkling at the strange feeling. Your stomach beginning to hurt as the small giggles turn to full scale laughter. “That tickles..!”
The shrimp continue to tickle you for a couple of more moments—along with chanting words of praises for their ‘new lady’—before suddenly swimming off in a hurry.
“H-Hey where are you running off—“ Your voice pauses as your back suddenly hits something hard. “Wh—..”
As you spin your head around to take a look at what you had bumped into, you freeze on the spot. Oh what good luck you seem to have…
“P-Poseidon…”
At the call of his name, you see the said Sea God’s eyebrow twitch slightly under the light glow of the sea creatures. Ah. You forgot you weren’t supposed to address Gods so casually. Especially him.
“I-I mean, Good Evening Lord Poseidon…”
The cold look on the God’s face doesn’t change as he continues to stare daggers down at you but it at least seems less menacing now. Perhaps it was your internal survival instincts thanking you for avoiding death once again.
.
..
Ah, this is awkward.
“M-May I help you, Lord?” You ask Poseidon as he continues to stare at you. You were hoping for some sort of response or answer to make the atmosphere less awkward but all you got was a scoff in response. The only thing out of said exchange that didn’t make you angry was how he drifted his gaze away from you and onto the floating sea creatures instead. Just thankful to get his piercing gaze off of you.
What was this guy’s deal?
Not wanting to spend another moment with the rude fish god, you turn and walk away. As your feet tread the last couple of steps of the stone stairs and onto the path, you find yourself looking at the sea grass that stood just yonder of it.
This must have been the area that was originally meant to be used as that ginormous garden as, compared to the rest of the surrounding area, the sea grass stretched out for yards in front of you. Honestly, you guessed two whole soccer fields could squeeze inside the vast circular field in front of you.
Actually, as you stared at the sea grass that seemed to dance in the tide of the sea, you wondered if it was anything like normal grass.
“Ah!” You can’t help but let out as you place one bare foot onto the field. It was soft, extremely soft. You would even compare it to the feeling of silk with its smooth and chill-like feeling.
“Human…”
At the call you tilt your head upwards to come face to face with a giant jellyfish. When did that get there? Also, why did it come down in the first place? The rest of the jellyfish were drifting much higher up. About roof height even.
“Human…” The jellyfish calls again, this time stretching one of its tentacles out towards you. Its smooth purple like texture makes you entranced by it. Ah, was it asking you to shake its hand?
“H-Hello—“
Just as you stretch your hand out to clasp the jellyfish’s, a hand on your wrist stops you. Instantly, you freeze as you recognize the green glove that was attached. Oh god, what did you do this time?
“L-Lord Poseidon-n I wasn-n’t— Gah!”
Instantly your head flies upwards back to the jellyfish as you hear its screeching. Poseidon’s other hand was holding the jellyfish head in a death-like grip. Based on the veins popping out from his arm it was like he was trying to squeeze the jellyfish into mush.
“Lord Po—“ You are cut off as Poseidon’s chilling voice resounds out next to your ear.
“You weren’t trying to do what?” You feel yourself calming down slightly as you realize he wasn’t addressing you. Though it wasn’t by much as you were still pressed against the strong god as he berated the jellyfish in front of you, “Insolent creature. Know your place.”
“I-It was only trying to shake my hand!” You shout out as you turn your gaze up to the god. His chilling blue eyes almost making you want to back down if it wasn’t for the fact you knew you couldn’t. It wasn’t right of him to punish a poor creature that just wanted to greet you.
“Shake your hand?” Poseidon chillingly repeats, a small chuckle laced in at the end as if he finds the situation to be humorous. Slightly, the god tilts his head down. Just close enough to whisper in your ear, “Human. Open those pathetic eyes of yours and take a hard look at my hand.”
Although you were taken aback by Poseidon’s harsh words, you still turn your gaze to look at his hand. Oh. Although his hand was mostly covered by his glove, you could still see the searing red bumps and lashes that decorated across his fingertips.
“Not only that.” Poseidon whispers again, making you jump slightly, “This jellyfish is deadly poisonous for humans.”
“Lord Poseidon-n. I beg for your forgiveness. I only did this because Lady Am—“
“Shut up.” You wince and shut your eyes close as Poseidon encloses his grip on the jellyfish. Crushing its head in a grueling squish. Even though you saw Marissa decapitated less than a week ago, you still find yourself shaking out in fear. Unable to find it in you to open your eyes.
“Tch. Pathetic…”
At first you thought Poseidon was addressing the now deceased jellyfish but you soon find out he wasn’t. Letting out a small squeak, your eyes fly open instantly as Poseidon hauls you up into his arms. Though, you soon regret that decision as your gaze locks instantly onto the corpse of the jellyfish.
Shutting your eyes once again, you shakily lean against Poseidon as you attempt to dull the sickly feeling settling in your stomach. Not even bothering to  question or ask where he could possibly be taking you.
It is only when you hear the loud squeak of a door being open that you open your eyes. Looking over Poseidon's shoulder as he ventures further into the building, you try to find out where you were. From what you could see, it definitely wasn’t your Manor as the halls were far too grand. With floor to ceiling grand windows, marble floors, and intricate works of art, it left you speechless.
It is only when your gaze locks with one of the many photos on the walls that you finally realize where you were.
“Are we in Triton’s Manor?”
Poseidon doesn’t give you a response but you pass by more photos and paintings of Triton, you knew your assumptions were correct.
But,…
Pressing a hand on Poseidon’s chest you lean backwards to stare at the god. His eyes continue to face forward, seeming to stare right through your torso that stood in front of him as he doesn’t even bother to gaze up at you, “Poseidon… Why are you helping me?”
Once again, Poseidon doesn’t respond, only giving you a small glance upwards as so to give a glare to show his distaste in how you did not address him properly. You swore this guy changed his mind so much it was giving you whiplash. He decides at one point to full on ignore you and the next to save you from impending danger.
“I thought you wanted me dead.”
This time Poseidon actually reacts as he pauses in his movement and his eyes turn to gaze up at you. Their cold glory makes you flinch at his emotionless gaze.
How did Triton come from this man…
“You wanted to kill me as you dragged me underwater with Triton, right?”
A long pause fills the air before Poseidon finally responds.
“I do.”
You feel the need to flinch under the harshness of his words but don’t. You knew you couldn’t. He wasn’t saying ‘I do’ because he wanted to kill you in the past. No. He would have said ‘I did’ if that was the case. Even as he saved you from the jellyfish. Even as he was currently holding you in his arms, Poseidon still wanted to kill you. He still had the desire to.
But…
Why are you still alive then?
“Stop thinking.” Poseidon coldly orders as his eyebrows twitch lightly in annoyance. As if he knew what you were thinking, he continued to answer. “You are alive because you need to be. When you aren’t worthy to me anymore, I’ll throw you away. It’s as simple as that.”
Poseidon continues to stare up at you, seeming to wait for any more peeps out of you before venturing on. He grunts a little as you fall back in his arms, your chin resting on his shoulder as you look around at the items that decorate the halls. The warmth leaking from your body through your nightwear makes him freeze slightly but he doesn’t say anything. Choosing for once not to voice his disgust outloud and instead looking at the items that decorate the halls as well.
Soft…
Poseidon’s fingers twitch slightly as he accidentally graces your warm skin that was hidden under the shirt of your nightwear.
Stupid…
His mind instantly ridiculed and pummeled down the disgusting thoughts that clogged his mind. Especially over the fact that he, of all gods, shouldn’t be intrigued over the softness and warmth of a human.
“Tch. We are here.” Poseidon grumbles out as he finally rounds the corner and opens the door to Triton’s room.
Yet, even though Poseidon thought it would all be over if he reaches Triton’s room and places you down, he comes face to face with another problem.
“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Poseidon snapped out. Even though you came all this way, and caused a lot of bothersome troubles in the process, you only leave his side for a second to check up on Triton before coming right back. Did you not care about his s—
Instantly, Poseidon stomps that thought out of his mind.
“Your wounds. You’ll need help patching them up.” You bluntly told the god. Even though you had flinched at his outburst seconds earlier, you still reach forward to grab his hand. Did you want him to kill you?
Poseidon retracts his hand and glares down at you.
“I do not need your help.”
“Bu—“
“Gods… have no need for armies. No need for betrayal. No need for support. Such are the gods. Ever since the beginning, we have been the perfect beings. I. Especially. Do. Not. Need. A. Human’s. Help.”
After Poseidon’s speech, there's a long pause. Out of the corner of his eye, Poseidon watches you walk away and believes you gave up. That is until he sees you drag a chair over near him, patting the seat in a gesture to get him to sit down that makes his nose wrinkle up in disgust.
“I—“
“It’s my fault.” You state, cutting Poseidon off as you stare back at him. Your sharp fiery gaze unwavering as they stare back into his cold emotionless ones. “You don’t need my help since you are perfect but… it’s my fault. So I owe you one. So give me your hand so we are even. If Gods have no need for support then they have no need for favors as well. Right—“
“Shut up.” Poseidon barks out coldly. Giving you a harsh glare before, surprisingly, sitting down in the chair. For a second, Poseidon feels his hand twitch as he sees the surprised look on your face, wanting to wipe that fowl look off your face but stops himself as you kneel down to examine his hand.
I’m getting too worked up from a stupid mortal, Poseidon thinks as he turns his gaze up to the ceiling as you pull off his glove. Seeming to begin to treat his wounds.
Stupid…
Poseidon feels himself grit his teeth as your hands softly graze up and down his. Examining it to see what must be done to treat the many wounds. He wonders if this was how you treat Triton’s woun— Stop. So carefully and—
“Stop.” Poseidon bellows as he pulls his hand away from your grasp. This was idiotic. What in the world was going on with him?
It’s just like the time when Triton was born.
Stop.
How warm he felt inside seeing—
STOP.
“Hey. I need to—“ As you grasp onto Poseidon’s hand once more, he instantly grabs the front of your shirt and throws you across the room. Thankfully you landed safely on Triton’s bed, only the wind knocked out of you but…
“M-Mom?”
My, I’ve never seen a look like that.
Poseidon feels his body freeze as his gaze comes in contact with Triton’s. The boy that was once peacefully sleeping now wide awake as he takes in the scene in front of him.
Hmmm… You sure secretly spoil a child you don’t care about.
“F-Father?” Poseidon feels his hand balls into fists as Triton calls that title towards him.
I know you won’t divorce me unless you want something to happen to your precious so—
The loud slamming of a door cuts Poseidon’s thoughts off and he finds himself out in the hallway.
Stupid…
All of this, everything, was stupid.
A perfect being. He was a perfect being. Gods have no need for armies. No need for betrayal. No need for support. Such are the gods. Ever since the beginning, we have been the perfect beings. We have no need for the herd... no need for scheming... and no need for support.
Such… are the gods.
Tumblr media
Author Note: Oooo a lot happened this chapter. Especially a lot with Poseidon’s character. Feel free to discuss what you thought about this chapter and Poseidon’s inner monologue. I would love to hear about your opinion or answer any questions if you are confused on some parts.

Hey, I really want to watch CPU kerfuffle, is there a document that sums up the first 10 episodes so I can start at 11 and know everything important?
Funny enough, there actually is! Around the time of 10, I created a lore document that I would try to update with each Kerfuffle. I kinda stopped doing it around 11, which is the magic number for ya. However it IS 50 pages long (and a lot of the information is out of date). Ever since then, a wiki has been created which does a good job of covering many things, although since a LOT of characters return (some with a lot of Spoilers attached to them)
Here's the lore document and here's the wiki, but for the sake of brevity, I'll include a "brief" synopsis of Everything Important From Season 1 of CPUKerfuffle You Need To Know About So You Can Start On CPUKerfuffle #11 (under the cut)
So here's the Season 1 Synopsis. CPU Kerfuffle is a tournament series featuring Level 9 CPU's with their own names and distinct characters (this characterization is ramped up in Season 2 but one step at a time). Each tournament is a double-elimination bracket of eight fighters, and the winner of the tournament goes 1 on 1 against the current Champion of CPU Kerfuffle. The Champion is allowed to slightly alter the rules of the tournament to fit their style (for instance, when ICEE was Champion, he made Freezies appear occasionally) In the beginning, it was run by me in-universe and was a largely informal affair.
In terms of the Important Story Events, there aren't too many in Season 1, so before we cover those, let's introduce some character that might be important later.
-Squid Jenny: A disciple of the god Iggy Koopa. In her first tournament, she was presented as a FIERCELY loyal subject before actually briefly defecting from Iggy while also changing her name and gender presentation. She would later go on to return as a follower of Iggy, but with a new name and a new sense of personal agency. She says Trans Rights, obviously.
-Hamburger Helper: A Red Ridley who was the first Champion and held his reign as Champion for quite some time. Is married to a Ganondorf named Dadandorf and they share a son named Jimbo, who becomes Dark Jimbo out of teenage rebellion.
-Florida Man: A white coat Joker hailing from Florida, and a being of all the chaos that entails. He doesn't do much in Season 1, but keep an eye out for him in Season 2.
-Home MD: A doctor who wishes to find the cure for losing. Over the course of the series, he loses and regains his medical license.
-Spriteman/Perfect Spriteman: Spriteman is Just a Guy Who Really Loves Him Some Sprite! He won't stop talking about his favorite citrus soda! But....what happens when his obsession goes too far? He turns into a Piranha Plant, that's what.
-Patch-Man & Hoedown: Patch-Man is the owner of a large farm known as "Patch Farms", which is a place of bountiful harvest, although there have been some very intriguing farming techniques used there, such as creating a daughter that is also a gijinka of Corn itself named Corn on the Cob. He's married to Hoedown, who is secretly a member of the pirate crew known as the Red Kraken. Within Season 1, Hoedown is the only member of the Red Kraken in CPUK
-Captain Valentine: Just an overall cool dude and the face of the tournament throughout Season 1
-The Grunk: A Big Boy who can get pretty angry. He specifically joined the Kerfuffle after Hamburger Helper dissed his Tinder profile.
-Dantoinette: More accustomed to Soul Calibur, Dantoinette came over to CPU Kerfuffle to see how the other side played. She is.....very good.
There are more, but I want to keep this at least somewhat brief. So in terms of the relevant lore, here is the series of events that take place:
After a few tournaments of Hamburger Helper keeping hold as Reigning Champion, Iggy sends Jenny to see if Hamburger Helper is up to something. And it appeared he was, as he was building a strange machine.
Soon after, a fighter appears that simply goes by the name of "Crimson". And once he joins, an incredibly strange tournament takes place that includes splitting and converging of universes. The Guy from Spy Kids 3-D is there. There's a lot of confusion (and a lot of it gets kinda retconned? Only so much you can do when you improvise things lol), but it's discovered that Crimson is a sort of hivemind demon that can control other people at will while also holding some power over the different dimensions, and it's clear that Hamburger Helper is working for the Crimson.
On the ninth CPU Kerfuffle, we approach a Season Finale, preparing for things with a set of round robin preliminary rounds. And those are eventful. Home MD loses his doctorate from how badly he's beaten, Captain Valentine becomes possessed by the Crimson, and The Grunk is actually found DEAD, killed by the Crimson.
After this tournament, there is a hiatus. In-universe, I decided that having all this negative PR was way too much to handle, leading to a lack of tournaments and leaving the battlefield in an almost Mad-Max-Style chaos for months. Amidst the Chaos, the fighters all create four factions, or "Teams", which I'll talk about later.
At the end of this haitus, Iggy himself steps down from the heavens and uses an enormous amount of his power to greatly weaken the Crimson, ridding most of its existence, but still unable to turn Captain Valentine back. In light of coming back AND saving the world a little bit, Iggy becomes the new owner of CPU Kerfuffle, bringing back my friends and I simply as commentators in-universe. Squid Jenny becomes a field reporter to help the tournament run and to help the audience see the discussions happening between fighters. Another person working for the tournament rather than fighting anymore is Home MD, whose doctorate is restored after he manages to revive The Grunk from the dead.
This leads to the tournament titled "#Reboot". There isn't much that happens in this tournament in terms of lore, but Dantoinette becomes the Champion, which leads into Episode 11, which is where you'll be beginning. At that point in time, there are 8 different teams, which will be explained at the start of CPUK11.
Have fun!

She had to admit, nighttime hunting of the squid shoals was a strangely mesmerizing, beautiful thing. The way the reddish bioluminescence of the squid flowed and rippled through the shoal as they fled Manda’s jaws and Maddie’s many mouths - he was right, it was really something amazing. Not even the likes of BBC Earth’s best footage could really capture the experience of being there in the moment. Just, wow.
And now, tired, and very full with raw calamari, Manda and Maddie both found themselves resting on the nearest island they could find. Just lying down and gazing up at the stars. Here, thousands of miles away from any human cities, she could see the star field in full, and it was amazing.
“That’s Orion,” Manda says, pointing a claw up at…somewhere in the sky. “A great hunter from Greek mythology. Not the best guy, but they had different standards.”
“You know a lot about legends and stars.” Maddie comments. She scoots closer to Manda. He doesn’t seem to notice.
“Mum taught me a lot about myths and history. There’s so much that can be learned from human culture, so much we can learn.”
She’s practically just one step away from cuddling him now. Nowhere near comfortable now that her body was massive, covered with hard scales and tough plant material, but the emotion was what counted. Manda turns to look at her. Lock eyes for several seconds.
“So…”
“Oh shut up, you big snake.”
And she kisses him on the snout.
Well, it’s far more of a nuzzle than a kiss. Madison never thought she’d take the sensation of having lips for granted, but once Manda’s shock leaves him he immediately returns the kiss, nuzzling over their snouts in innocent, first love.
They break it off. Staring at each other awkwardly. Maddie smiles. One of her tentacle mouths snaking up.
“So…how far do you wanna go tonight?”
"Gack," Manda chokes. His bioluminescence bursts and his tendrils flare out, suddenly behaving remarkably like any nervous human boy who's ever been invited into his girlfriend's bedroom.
Madison silences the rogue mouth voicing certain naughty thoughts, and she is an adult after all, of course she's going to have desires and naughty thoughts; and ever since she realized a growing attraction towards Aunt Viv's son, part of her wonders if, like some reptiles, Manda has two--
"I mean," Manda tries again, his vocalizations cracking. "If that's what you want, I..."
"I wasn't entirely serious! Your mom always taught me not to go all out on the first date. We don't have to if you're not comfortable."
Manda deflates in some relief, but teal lines still trail all over his body in that particular way of blushing. His amber-colored eyes glance her way and she bumps their heads together in another "kiss". Even if nothing does happen tonight, Madison has a feeling she's going to dream of what things may have been like if they were human, where things like this are easier.
"So what about second dates?" Manda asks, feeling a burst of confidence. Maddie feels something inside her flutter.
His mouth quirks into something like a smile and he slips away -- not to flee like an awkward teenager reaching critical mass embarrassment, but so Madison has a full view of his body. Manda really is a gorgeous Titan; built like a whip, elegantly handsome, and the way his clear crystalline spines and antlers gleam and sparkle from the night sky is nothing short of magical.
Manda recalls something his mother-uncle told him before when talking him through courtship, that he'll instinctively know what to do if he wants to impress a potential mate, or girlfriend. Whatever they're going to be. He lowers himself into a bow, tail lifting up and fanning out its cerata tendrils; then he spins, tail unintentionally spraying water but he figures that'll just add to the performance.
Madison watches him in interest, and then feels her heart skip realizing he's performing a courtship display. The way he uses his tail looks almost like a traditional fan dance she's seen at festivals, and that's before he lifts himself to stand on his hind legs, long body snaking up until it looks like his antlers are holding the moon itself, a low serenading moan releasing from his throat.

The Mandalorian Chapter 11; the rewatch edition
I have found a bit more enthusiasm for this one on the rewatch, so here goes!
- din snapping ‘I’m trying my best here!’ in a vaguely annoyed tone as his entire ship is going up in flames around him because he mostly doesn’t get angry as much as sulky... the height of cinema 
- I love frog husband’s clothes, because they’re in a very similar style and colour scheme to frog lady’s but also incorporate the knitwear we see on the people of trask, so it both underlines his belonging with her and implies that he’s been on this moon for quite a while, they may have been apart for some time  
Tumblr media
especially his scarf is a darling detail and there’s a bit of contrast in texture to it next to his wife’s, it’s nice. he’s wearing a similar kind of vest to what we see on the fishermen later, too 
- I think my favourite part of this entire episode (well second after din cradling the baby against him after nearly drowning) is just the design and Vibe of the planet and especially this harbour
Tumblr media
for one I LOVE that it’s shown that even in the middle of the day it’s dark enough that the electric lights are still on when it’s overcast (it reminds me a bit of norway during the winter, actually, when dawn just never quite breaks and then slinks off in embarrassment before it’s even noon). and there’s also the... sails? nets? hanging around looking almost like flags, which are very Aesthetic but god knows what they’re for. maybe for drying fish on in the summer? 
Tumblr media
I think the building in the distance behind frog husband’s back here is a lighthouse? or it could be one of those towers for loading you see when they scout out the empire ship too, I suppose!
Tumblr media
and one for my strange obsession with Texture on this show: these fabric-covered crates!!! they look exactly as dingy and moldy as you’d expect them to be in this climate, I wonder what they’re for (& I vaguely want to touch them) 
- from the sound of it din’s vibroknife is uh ‘on’ when he pokes the squid thing, and he also goes for the tentacle the furthest away from the baby <3
Tumblr media
proof the calamari flan have been scratched up a bit during all that time in din’s pockets! (the attention to detail in this show sometimes istg) 
- this is 100% me reading too much into things again, call the overthinking police I’ll do my time meekly lol, but the boat looks a little bit like the mudhorn signet from this angle: 
Tumblr media
again din keeps his hand on or sooo close to his blaster in this entire scene, he knows this is sketch as all hell 
Tumblr media
a) once again I want to praise the effects team for how GOOD the aliens look in this episode holy shit and b) the hell is this dude wearing on the straps of his overalls tho 
- the dude mando (axe woves) uses his little... wrist launcher thing to shoot with to finish two off the fishermen, so my theory that they can be loaded with other things than the whistling birds for slightly less effective use (maybe without the level of honing we’ve seen din’s be able to do?) is looking good!
- din actually has quite good form when diving into the water, I’m guessing he can swim at least tolerably when not in full armour, being stabbed at from all directions, having just had his son eaten by a sea monster and also being trapped in with said sea monster (I’m a strong swimmer and I can tell you that there’s a reason they make you swim with clothes on from time to time to see how hard it is, it sucks. with metal plates strapped all over you as well? yeah good luck) people don’t tend to hit the water that gracefully without some kind of training in my experience lol. might be some of the training with the jet pack has carried over too, considering he throws himself off that cliff in chapter 12 with similar confidence?
it’s interesting that they’re once again showing us a threat where the armour doesn’t help and even hinders him. we’re so used to the ways it can make him near-invincible, but it can also drag him down (literally, in this case. aha ha ha. well if I’m not here for my own entertainment then what am I here for honestly)
- din’s voice sounding like he’s just on the verge of crying as he cradles the baby (and the sound he makes as he realizes the baby’s alive) is my kryptonite, turns out. fucking breaks my heart into tiny pieces every time, I would die for this man and he wouldn’t let me
- in support of din’s paranoia: so far this season we haven’t been able to go five minutes without someone talking about peeling the precious beskar off a mandalorian corpse, I can see why his mind was primed to move in one particular way there
- I think the fabric of din’s cape has been treated with something that makes it waterproof; the water seems to pearl on top of it rather than soak in! can you imagine how heavy it would get if it did absorb water tho christ
Tumblr media
(a bit hard to see at this size but that’s what it looked like to me close up anyway! could also be that it’s wool and that’s why it looks that way but I prefer an elaborate sci-fi explanation here, because it doesn’t look particularly weighed down afterwards) might also explain why he doesn’t seem worried about it catching on fire when he uses the jetpack haha, maybe this is something the mandos do with fabric they’re going to use for a long time 
I also enjoy part of the gambeson/undersuit thing poking up from under the shoulder pauldron and cape; I think this is about as disheveled as we’ve seen him since immediately post-mudhorn 
- the sound mixing in this scene, where din’s breathing is layered a bit over everything else so you almost feel like you’re in the helmet with him listening to what the others are saying........ oh my GOD, it embeds you so deeply in his POV but so subtly 
- not to be biased or anything... but din and the armorer’s armour design is so vastly superior to these guys it shouldn’t even be a competition lol 
din looks like an honest to god knight in shining armour except also sci-fi western and the armorer looks like a fucking war goddess from a time beyond memory; the clone wars mandos look like high end cosplayers (eh maybe it’s just my dislike for the boobplates that has me so 😒 lol. also a lot of dudes were very shitty about that whole thing and I don’t say anything but the ‘vaguely-concerned will remember this’ telltale message pops up in the corner every time) 
moment of saltiness over: I do like the differentiation between their individual character designs 
Tumblr media
the differences in body type and helmet design is nice! they look like a unified team, but with individuality. I suspect the ladies have those belts and their armour plates on the hips instead of the front of the thighs to emphasize the ‘female’ silhouette, which. okay fine whatever
- bo katan looks very pointedly down at the baby after saying ‘a group of religious zealots who want to return to the ancient ways’ which makes me VERY nervous for reasons I can’t quite articulate
- the mournful guitar version of the mando theme as din watches the sunset...... hmmmmngh (this might be some Symbolism happening to us folks strap in for the identity crisis he still hasn’t processed) 
- I Cannot get over din being so unimpressed by and uninterested in bo katan’s ‘retake mandalore’ sales pitch from literally the first moment dfhasdkjfhsad sorry lady kryze this man just does not do main quest shit, he’s all side quests all the time and that’s why I love him  
- as someone who after chapter 8 wrote a whole-ass fic that was wholly & exclusively about din telling the baby he’ll always come back for him... some of the shit he’s been saying this season does feel like it’s been written to mercilessly victimize me, personally and specifically 
- guessing this structure in the background is the traffic control tower! doesn’t really matter, I just thought it was neat
Tumblr media
- this part of the soundtrack is called ‘ship o hoj, mandalorians!’, which I found incredibly charming haha (it’s ‘ship ahoy’ except how you write it in swedish, good one herr göranson)  
- bo katan is vague about who exactly the new mand’alor would be if they took back mandalore to begin with, she doesn’t specify she is planning to be the ruler until she’s already got din on the ship and in no position to refuse to help. gotta respect the grift at least lol  
I do love her voice, though, it reminds me a bit of jennifer hale as shepard
- “I need to get back to my ship, with the foundling” your honor I uh love him so fucking much 
- frog lady stroking the baby’s back a bit as she holds her hand behind him to make sure he doesn’t fall backwards while playing with the tadpole ;___________;
and also frog husband and frog lady reaching out to hold hands and frog smooching as din and yodito leave ;____________________________________________;
- when din says the exasperated “mon calamari. unbelievable” line, the baby makes that little blowing a raspberry sound he does as if to agree ‘uh-huh unbelu -- unbelly -- unbelievable dad smh’ and it is very very adorable 
- there’s quite a bit of Stuff in the concept art that didn’t make it in this time around; I wonder if maybe they cut some stuff for pacing or whatever and that’s why this episode is so short? water leaking into the cockpit of the razor crest, something that looked a bit like whaling going on on the docks and more spaceships taking off (maybe there were originally meant to be some smaller ships defending the big empire one?), there’s quite a bit here

Please tell us more about your fankid William Zeppeli II! It's so funny how we both have a fankid with the same name hehe
Oooooh I love Will Zep 2. I'd simp for him if he wasn't my own creation lmao.
Disclaimer that I did put the ages in the Fankid Bio but all of my Fankids are Adults now. I say "kids" only because they're the child of my OC ships lmao. Will Zep 2 is 22.
He's the son of Jocasta and Caesar. Jocasta also has another son named Kieven who she named after a friend she lost. The two get along a lot like Caesar and Joseph, frankly. When you're raised by those two, you tend to pick up on those habits. He often "played favorites" between the three of them when he knows he can get something. Like if he knows Joseph will agree to something Caesar won't, he will only ask Joseph. Sneaky kid.
He likes to make Pottery, and really enjoys a lot of Italian foods (who doesnt!). He is very interested in learning how to cook it. And his favorite food is Squid ink pasta, because Joseph convinced him to try it even though it looked strange 🥰 His parents are all very supportive, and he loves and respects his mother. And thanks to Jocasta, he has a big interest in pyrotechnics.
He is a major flirt. A lot like Caesar. Even when he just started school, all the way up to adulthood, he had several girls with a crush on him and he was always very pleased. He would even set up Kieven with them, too, which led to a lot of double dates. He may bicker with his brother, but they have a sort of unspoken pact to help each other get girls. And boys. It took Will a few tries before he was willing to test the waters with men.
One of his favorite features is that he has inherited Caesar's birthmarks.
He is close with his half sister Holly. Kieven and Will both love her because she's very sweet, and they leave her out of a lot of their bickering 😂
Once Holly got old enough to start dating, those boys did everything in their power to make sure no nasty guys got to her. They are so overprotective.
He likes to play guitar. Wither for random people he is flirting with, or simply to relax and have a good time. It has led to some impromptu dance moments with his family, friends, or strangers. Quite wholesome.
Caesar as a dad is very typical to what someone would expect. Her very loud and expressive, and sometimes temperamental. But he's Italian and believes in strong family bonds, and he loves his son dearly. He hates it when all his children team up to try and mess with him though, because they're all little shits about it.
Joseph likes to embarrass the kids whenever he gets a chance. Will always gets embarrassed. Kieven does something in response that is twice as embarrassing. Will usually threatens to disown him on behalf of the family.
Caesar is definitely the strict parent. Joseph encourages shenanigans and Jocasta is an easygoing person who let's things go a lot, so Caesar is left to be the rule-enforcer.
All of Jocasta's children know the story of "Go Left" and how a simple joke saved her life, so they all believe in her little superstition too.
If there's any more info you'd like, I'm happy to provide!!! Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰
(Also, note for everyone. He is open for RP and interactions 👉👈)

“Have you ever seen a dead person before you came here?” | @bluescarfvivi​ sent !
↳ squid game starters | accepting !
     How casual the question sounded--almost as though they were merely talking about the weather as of late. Rain, of course, would have been the answer, the constant sound of drumming against the roof more of a comfort than a hindrance. For a moment they had nothing to do but wait, to remain indoors and stay safe, or at the very least try. But to remain quiet? Impossible. Whenever Vivi was around, noise was sure to accompany her. Didn’t she ever get tired of talking?
     “Is that something you really want to know, or are you simply filling the time?” His voice was level, carefully masked, expression difficult to read. If the question had annoyed him his features gave no indication, and it might have been reasonable to suggest that he was simply bored. “I might ask you the same question--if I was interested enough in hearing your answer.”
    Sharp eyes turned to survey Vivi, cold and calculating despite the warmth of color reflecting in them from the room’s soft, amber light. Should he choose to decline answering he was certain the woman wouldn’t push for more, but something in that moment left him feeling strangely talkative. Perhaps it was just the fact that he knew he could affect her, but only one other person in the world had ever drawn as much out of him with relative ease. But then, Vivi did remind him of a certain Phantom Thief...
     “The first body I ever saw was that of my mother’s. I’ll never forget that day for as long as I live. I was four years old and staying with her during the day at a rehabilitation clinic. Her health was failing, and she chose to check herself into it in her final days. I remember how kind many of the nurses were, how they tried to help her, how the doctors tried to keep her alive, but it seemed as though she was determined to defy everyone. Four years living with a broken heart had left her weak, unfit. I was a burden, a drain on her incredibly limited resources. At times I’m amazed she survived as long as she did.”

     Of course, he couldn’t remember much before that. Surely she must have cared for him at some point; he survived four years with her, didn’t that mean she wanted him? He could remember her warmth, her rare smiles, the pain of living with a broken heart and a cursed child. By checking into that clinic she had told the world she truly wanted to keep living, right? Or would she have been better off to find a home for her child from the beginning? At least then Goro might have grown up with someone who cared about his continued survival. But no, she had died, tragic and rejected without ever making plans for her son. Of course, Goro placed the blame squarely on Shido for that. He was the one who killed her, after all.
     “I remember the nurses had left the room. I was sitting on the floor beside my mother’s chair--she always sat beside the window and stared out into the garden, as though waiting for someone she loved to come sweeping in through the flowers. In her final days she grew too weak to even move herself over to it, so someone would assist her and monitor her health. But it was as though she knew to wait, because moments after we were left alone her heart simply...gave out. I looked up at her, her eyes closed, her face pale, and something inside of me felt as though it gave out. I didn’t even know what was going on at the time. I shook her cold hand, called out for her, asked her to wake up. I remember getting to my feet and putting my hand on her shoulder and having the wild thought that my mother wasn’t there anymore, but how was that even possible? I could see her sitting there. It was ridiculous--so why wouldn’t she wake up? Why would she leave me?”
    Bitter laughter rumbled deep in his chest, a sound that seemed to surprise even him. Strange; he had hardly meant to go on in such detail, but once he opened that door it was as though everything just spilled out of him. As though he couldn’t stop. As painful as it was remembering that day, there was some comfort in actually talking about it. Besides, seeing Vivi’s reaction would probably make it all worth it. Would she regret opening her mouth? Would she pity him like everyone else did? Disgusting.
     “Well? Does that sate your curiosity?”

Prisoners Of The Ghostland
Prisoners Of The Ghostland, the new movie from Sion Sono, is out today.
In the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town, a ruthless bank robber is sprung from jail by a wealthy warlord, The Governor, whose adopted granddaughter has run away.

From real-life friends Annie Clark (a.k.a. GRAMMY award-winning recording and touring artist St. Vincent) and Carrie Brownstein (Portlandia, Sleater-Kinney) comes the metafictional account of two creative forces banding together to make a documentary about St. Vincent’s music, touring life, and on-stage persona. But they quickly discover unpredictable forces lurking within subject and filmmaker that threaten to derail the friendship, the project, and the duo’s creative lives.
The Eyes Of Tammy Faye
The Eyes Of Tammy Faye, the new movie from Michael Showalter, is out today.
THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE is an intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. In the 1970s and 80s, Tammy Faye and her husband, Jim Bakker, rose from humble beginnings to create the world’s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park, and were revered for their message of love, acceptance and prosperity. Tammy Faye was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing, and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life. However, it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.
Blue Bayou
Blue Bayou, the new movie from Justin Chon, is out today.
Blue Bayou is the moving and timely story of a uniquely American family fighting for their future. Antonio LeBlanc (Chon), a Korean adoptee raised in a small town in the Louisiana bayou, is married to the love of his life Kathy (Alicia Vikander) and step-dad to their beloved daughter Jessie. Struggling to make a better life for his family, he must confront the ghosts of his past when he discovers that he could be deported from the only country he has ever called home.

Copshop, the new movie from Joe Carnahan, is out today.
Screaming through the Nevada desert in a bullet-ridden Crown Vic, wily con artist Teddy Murretto (Frank Grillo) hatches a desperate plan to hide out from lethal hitman Bob Viddick (Gerard Butler): He sucker-punches rookie officer Valerie Young (Alexis Louder) to get himself arrested and locked up in a small-town police station. But jail can’t protect Murretto for long. Viddick schemes his own way into detention, biding his time in a nearby cell until he can complete his mission. When the arrival of a competing assassin (Toby Huss) ignites all-out mayhem, mounting threats force Viddick to get creative if he wants to finish the job and escape the explosive situation.
Cry Macho
Cry Macho, the new movie from Clint Eastwood, is out today.
From Warner Bros. Pictures come director/producer Clint Eastwood’s uplifting and poignant drama “Cry Macho.” The film stars Eastwood as Mike Milo, a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who, in 1979, takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home from Mexico. Forced to take the backroads on their way to Texas, the unlikely pair faces an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman finds unexpected connections and his own sense of redemption.

Meanwhile, his wife Satoko (Yû Aoi) receives a visit from her childhood friend, now a military policeman. He warns her about Yusaku’s seditious ways and reveals that a woman her husband brought back from his trip has died. Satoko confronts Yusaku, but when she discovers his true intentions, she is torn between loyalty to her husband, the life they have built, and the country they call home.

Beetlejuice Headcannons and Ideas
This is just a list of the headcannons and ideas I came up with for Beetlejuice (the movie and the TV show). I might add more later on, so watch out
-After a while, Lydia started to develop feelings for Prince Vince and while she was visiting the Neitherworld with Beetlejuice, she eventually confessed her feelings for Vince and they fell in love. And Beetlejuice immediately went into overprotective uncle mode
-Queen Aranea, Prince Vince’s mother, is something of a witch and she enjoys brewing potions and creating spells
The Giant Squark is a giant squid/shark hybrid that is native to the Neitherworld and they’re ferocious predators the dead fear
-Aranea met King Sebastian, Prince Vince’s father, at a drive-in movie. She was working at the theater and Sebastian, who was Prince at the time, noticed her and he was instantly smitten… and Aranea was smitten with him, too. But she knew a commoner like her could never be with the Prince of the Neitherworld, so she decided to disguise herself as a princess to fool Sebastian’s parents. It worked for a little while, but when everyone found out the truth, Sebastian stood by Aranea and he told her that he loved her for who she really was. And he told his parents that if they couldn't deal with that then he and Aranea would leave. But of course, that didn't happen
-Prince Vince was born and raised in the Neitherworld
-Sebastian abdicated the throne when he thought Vince should be ready to rule. He tolerates the boy, but he doesn't like his son’s gloomy disposition
-Aranea can transform herself into a Giant Squark
-Sebastian can transform himself into a chimera
-Vince can transform himself into a four-headed hydra
-When Lydia married Vince and became Queen of the Neitherworld, she developed supernatural powers of her own, including the ability to transform herself into a giant red and black spider
-Sebastian has two pet hounds named Basher and Slasher
-Lydia and Vince have a daughter named Mona
-Juno had become Lydia’s royal advisor when Lydia and Vince were crowned King and Queen
-Mona’s best friend is a young albino girl named Anna-Maria Bloodworth… and she’s the child of Bloody Mary
-Heaven and Hell do exist, but the Neitherworld is more similar to a purgatory
-When he was alive, Beetlejuice was a conman as well as a crazy drug addict and after a while, he started to hear voices in his head. The voices got louder and louder until finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and he decided to kill himself, which led him to end up in the Neitherworld
-Beetlejuice was supposed to assist Juno in helping her clients understand and readjust to their new afterlives as well as help them get rid of any unwanted guests. And he quit because he thought he could do so much better at getting rid of the living than any ghost ever could
-Adam and Barbara were high school sweethearts when they were alive
-Juno was a higher up at a very successful company, but the pressure to be perfect was a little too much for her, especially at her old age. And at the end of it, she ended her life
-Beetlejuice started out as an ordinary ghost, but he wanted to be more than that. So he went to see a sorcerer and asked him to be more powerful than any ghost in the Neitherworld. The sorcerer agreed, but the price Beetlejuice had to pay was his sense of reason and most of his sanity
-Both God AND the Devil created the Neitherworld together. It started out as a thought and after a while with help from a bit of witchcraft, it manifested itself into the freaky and wacky Neitherworld we know today
-Sandworms were ancient beings created by a group of gods and they feed on the dead. That’s why Beetlejuice and most of the Neitherworld citizens are so afraid of them
-Miss Argentina used to be an ordinary beauty pageant queen from South America when she was alive. She was a champion, but when she lost a SUPER big pageant at the peak of her career, she thought she lost her thunder and had a bit of a mental break. Her loss combined with all of the stress she was under to be the absolute best drove her over the edge and she decided to end her life, even though she keeps saying it was an accident
-There are all sorts of strange and crazy creatures in the Neitherworld. There are rats the size of bears, vicious butterflies, monsters made of goo, demonic clowns, cats, dogs, and rabbits that are very similar to Cerberus and Orthrus, and so many more
-The Neitherworld has nobility, but very strange nobility
-There are some rather cruel and nasty punishment methods in the Neitherworld, mostly taking inspiration from medieval torture methods as well as a few magical ones
-Maxie Dean and his wife died after Beetlejuice smacked them sky high with hammers
-Halloween is a pretty HUGE deal down in the Neitherworld and I'm sure they do, kind of like how the inhabitants of Halloweentown go to the human world to spread Halloween spirit
-A necromancer from a long time ago wrote the Handbook for the Recently Deceased so it could help out new souls that aren't used to being dead yet
This is all I've got so far, but feel free to tell me what you think and tell me which one is your favorite

Can you please make a story about Sirius, James and Remus meeting the next gen?
I didn’t know when you wanted this so I am going to do a time-travel story (James, Albus, lily, rose , hugo and teddy timetravel) in 1979. James (the next gen one) is of age (17), Albus and rose are15 and hugo and lily are 13. Teddy is 23.They come from 2021.
Also, this is NOT wolfstar. As much as I love the ship, it would be kind of awkward because of teddy.
Warning: swearing
In the kitchen of a house in Godric’s Hollow were seated three young men. One had messy black hair, hazel eyes and glasses. Another had sandy-brownish hair and a lot of scars on his face. The third one, like the first, had black hair. But this man’s hair was longer and a lot less messy, it reached his shoulders, and he didn’t have glasses. His eyes were gray-blue. Their names were James Potter, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. They were 20 years old.
The men were laughing about something, though it sounded a bit forced. You see, they were in the middle of a war. And not just any war, it was the wizarding war against the dark lord that went by the name of Lord Voldemort. No-one dared to say that name out loud, fearing he might show up and kill the fool and his family.
But now, they were recounting stories of their years at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sirius, the man with hair that reached his shoulders, was telling a story Remus thought was amusing, but James didn’t.
“and that was when Prongs jumped of the table, right in front of Lily. And you know what he said? He said “I guess you could say I’ve vallen for you.” And Lily just walked away!”
“I nearly broke my arm doing so! That is  not funny!” James tried to argue.
“wasn’t that when you tried to befriend the Giant Squid?” Remus said “you wanted to know his secret, why Lily’d rather go out with him then with you.”
Sirius snorted and opened his mouth to say something, when suddenly they heard a loud ‘bang’.
A bunch of children appeared, six of them. The oldest, who wasn’t really a child anymore, looked to be in his early twenties with turqoise hair with a streak of bubblegum pink. He looked a bit like Remus. THen there were two boys who looked a lot like james, but with a few differences. Both didn’t have glasses, and one of them had the green eyes the three recognised to be James’ wife, Lily. The other had lighter hair. The last boy in the group had red hair and brown eyes. Then, there were two girls. One of them had fiery red hair and brown eyes and the other thick brown curls and blue eyes.
The girl with the red hair yelled at the james-copy with light hair “Siriously James! Mum and dad told us to not go there! Hell even aunt Hermione told us to not go there! Now whe are Merlin-knows-where Merlin-knows-when!” At this point the boy with the red hair saw the three men and told the girl to shut up. The oldest boy saw them too now, and looked as if he was about to faint.
By this point, James spoke up. “I don’t know who you are or how the hell you got in here, but I suggest you give your wands here and no-one will get hurt.” The strangers quickly got their wands and gave them to James. Then the blue haired one said: “I swear on my life and magic we aren’t deatheaters and we mean no harm.”
The three man looked slightly more relaxed and an awkward silence came over the room.
“What are your names?” Remus and blue-hair said at the same time. Sirius grinned “Well, I am Sirius Black, the one with the glasses there is James Potter, and that one there is Remus Lupin.”
The strangers now looked as if they had seen a ghost. The girl with the brown hair asked “What year is it?” James and Remus shared a look before saying “1979”
“Well shit” James copy with lighter hair said.
“We come from 2021” The red-haired boy said after that.
Now it was James, Sirius and Remus’ turn to be shocked. Remus recovered the quickest and asked again “What are your names?” The blue-haired boy looked slightly uncomfortable at this, but James copy with light hair smirked and stepped forward.
“Well you asked for it. I am James Sirius Potter, prankster, best chaser Gryffindor has seen since my mom and eldest son of Ginny and Harry Potter.”
James and Sirius grinned and Remus asked “Is this Harry James’ kid?” The kids nodded. “I would love to hear a bit about your pranks but I would like to know the others first”
The brown-haired girl spoke up “I am Rose Granger-Weasley. Cousin of James here and Ravenclaw keeper. My parents are Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.”
“Weasley? As in Molly and Arthur?” Sirius asked. “They are our grandparents” James II answered.
The other girl now decided to introduce herself “Hi I’m Lily Luna Potter. I am a Gryffindor, and unfortunately that idiot over there” she pointed to James II “is my brother. I am seeker on the Gryffindor quidditch team. It is a pleasure to meet you.” James II looked at her, offended “excuse me? I am the idiot? We all know Al is the idiot.” He gestured towards the other James-copy.
“Guys, stop bickering please” Remus came between. ‘Al’ looked relieved and opened his mouth to speak. “Thanks, I am Albus Potter, Slytherin” at this, Sirius dropped his wand and Lily and Rose glared at him. This shut him up. “yeah I am the first potter to ever be sorted in Slytherin. I am horrible in most classes.”
The red-haired boy then spoke up. “I am Hugo, brother of Rose here. I am a Hufflepuff beater and my favourite class is Astronomy.”
The last stranger had been strangely quiet throughout the entire conversation. James looked at him and asked “and what is your name?”
“well” the answer was “I am Teddy. Teddy Lupin. Actually Edward, but I will kill you if you ever dare to use that name. I am 23 years old, and I used to be the Hufflepuff keeper. I am the godbrother of these three.” He gestured to the Potters. Remus had become really pale at this. Sirius and James just looked at each other and grinned “so you are Moony’s kid?” Teddy nodded. “Are you a werewolf?” Remus turned even more pale at this question. Teddy was quick to answer “no, don’t worry. I am a methamorpmagus though.”
Just as Sirius was about to say something again, another man popped in. He looked worried and a bit angry, and exactly like James. The strange man spoke up. “get your wands. James, we are talking about this.”
He then turned to James, Sirius and Remus, and his expression turned into one of sadness. He pointed his wand at them and said “obliviate” before popping out with the children.
In the kitchen of a house in Godric’s Hollow, three men told eachother stories, completely unaware of what just had happened.
  Sooooo… I guess I do this kind of story now to? Hope you like it!

Tumblr media
Emma woke up on the morning of her 28th birthday and she felt like she had a hangover even though she hadn't been drinking. In fact, it was worse than a hangover because she had woken up with 2 lives inside of her head.
But it wasn’t like in New York, because that life was based on a lie and false memories, she actually had lived 2 lives. One as a daughter, a sister, a friend, and another as. Well, as an orphan.
Henry, and Killian. The two missing mystery men. No wonder she was dreaming of those two the most, as she had no clue where they were. The two most important men in her life and she was clueless as to where to begin looking for them. Hopefully, her parents would have the answers.
Her house. With the white picket fence, with a view of the water.
The two people missing from it were the ones who chose it.
How could this have happened? Things were going so well, the three of them were finally starting to be a family when the Queen ripped that away from them. She searches in her jewellery box that she’s looked through every day, hoping the one thing she wants is in there. Necklaces and bracelets and rings she’s received from her parents and friends over the years. It’s not there she thinks to herself.
But then, at the bottom of the pile, it's there. Liam’s ring, the one Killian gave her back in Camelot all those years ago. She takes the silver ring on the chain and feels a sense of relief as she puts it over her head. She was going to find them, and bring them home.
The drive to her parents’ house, despite it only being less than a 5-minute drive, felt like a lifetime. She kept going over in her head(s) what was happening right now, she was meant to be celebrating her birthday with her parents and younger brother, the way they do every year, but now she was finding it strange that she had a family to do this. She was an orphan who found her family at 28, but she wasn’t really an orphan now. Or was she?
She knocks on the door to her parents house, expecting a huge Happy Birthday banner and for them to sing, but instead her father has the sorrowful look in his eyes when he opens the door. There’s no ‘Happy Birthday’ because he obviously knew what was coming.
“I remember,” is all she says as she just starts to cry.
The old Emma, the orphan would never cry, especially in front of her parents, but the girl who grew up with a family cried over the stupidest things
“Come in, we'll talk all about it.” David says putting his arm around her leading her inside.
Wiping her tears away she asks, “what happened?”
David and Snow look at one another trying to figure out the best way to explain the situation. “The Evil Queen, she said turning you into a toddler was the best way to get to each of us.” They begin to explain, going through all the details of how they eventually captured the Queen using squid Ink and how Regina has sacrificed herself to save everyone.
“Wh-what about Henry and Killian?” Emma asks when they’ve finished.
Snow takes a deep breath before saying, “we don’t know. When it happened they ran off to another realm we think, we haven’t heard from them since it happened.”
Emma looks like she could be sick, or faint, or both.
Seeing her face David quickly adds, “they’re safe though don’t worry. We believe Gold had a hand in wherever they escaped to, we can go ask him.”
“No-“ she cuts them off, “I’ll go. Just me. Henry’s my son and I have no idea where he is, I haven’t been his mother for 25 years.”
“Emma, you didn’t have a choice. He forgives you for putting him up for adoption, of course he’ll forgive you for not being there when you were under a curse.” Snow tells her, caught off guard by her sudden attitude-the Emma she raised would never do something this important alone. She was going to have to get used to the fact that the Emma she didn’t raise was seeping back in, the one who liked to work alone. The Orphan.
“Before you go beat up Gold to find out where Henry is,” David says, giving her a large rectangular box, “I thought you might want this.”
Emma takes the box, and slowly opens it to reveal her red leather jacket. Her armour. She hasn’t needed her armour growing up with a family, but now…
She took off her armour when she realised she wanted a future with Killian. But now, she didn’t know if there was a future with him.
_______
She decides to walk to Golds shop. Feeling slightly betrayed by everyone she needs the fresh air. That is until she bumps into her best friend Alex.
“Happy Birthday Emma!” She screams and hugs as she sees her. “I know it’s only a Tuesday but I was thinking tonight we can go drinking at the Rabbit Hole, like I’m working there until 8 and then I have tomorrow off,” she starts babbling, Emma feels so mean but all she can think about is Henry and getting him back.
“I can’t, I need to find my son. I need to find him I don’t know.” She starts to ramble, she knows Alex won’t understand, but she can’t think straight.
Alex looks perplexed, “I’m confused, you don’t have a son? Emma are you feeling okay?”
“No!” She cries, “nothing in my life is real, none of this. It’s all lies I don’t.”
Alex takes Emma’s hand, “Em. It’s okay. I’m your best friend, I’ve known you for your whole life, whatever you’re going though I’m here.”
“No that’s the problem, you don’t know me. At all. My life, growing up with you, it’s all based on a lie.” As soon as Emma said it, she knew it came out wrong.
Letting go of her hand Alex replies, “okay well if that’s how you feel then forget it. I was only trying to help. So much for being best friends.” And storms away, hurt by what Emma said.
She tried to call after her, but it was no use. And plus even if she tried to explain what was going on she wouldn’t believe it.
___
Standing outside of the Pawn Shop is strange. She had been inside many times before in her past life, but not once in the past 25 years. She stands outside for a moment debating what to say, but in the end she just storms inside. She sees the dark one inside in all his horrific glory, despite not having aged much he still looks awful.
“Where the hell is my son Gold?” She demands.
“Why Miss Nolan, I didn’t realise you had a son?” Emma rolls her eyes, the typical Dark One avoiding the question at hand.
“Don’t play dumb okay. Henry. Your grandson. Where. Is. He?” She demands again.
He finally looks up from his books. “Ah, has it been 25 years already? Well I believe birthday wishes are in order!”
Emma sighs, this isn’t going to be easy. “Look. My parents told me Henry and Killian made some kind of deal with you after what happened to me. They’re in some other realm or something, I want to know where, and how you can get them back.”
“Well I told them where they could go. Doesn’t mean they’re still there. As for getting them back, I’m afraid you’ll have to do that yourself.” He explains.
“Okay then do something to find them.” She practically yells at him.
“Blood magic can be used to find your son, for your one handed pirate lover I'm afraid there’s no way of finding him.” Emma’s heart sinks, but she knows Henry is the most important person to find right now.
He reaches under the counter to grab something, part of Emma wishes she had her gun but at the same time she knew that wouldn’t work on him, and her parents probably got rid of that a long time ago. It’s the same white atlas-like ball he used to locate Henry when he was kidnapped by Pans' minions.
“Before you do anything, if that’s a locator spell we are using my blood. Forgive me if I don’t trust you, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you do anything.” She tells him.
He nods in understanding. Emma gives her hand over and he and he pricks it on the top of the globe, slowly releasing her finger onto the white globe and the blood rushes around forming different shapes until they finally form one shape and glow.
“What does that mean?” She asks.
He smirks, “why it’s Neverland dearie.”
The pit of Emma’s stomach gurgled, and it wasn’t because she hasn’t eaten anything today.
Neverland.
Where Henry was taken the first time. Also the place where she finally admitted to herself that she felt something for Killian, and where he told her after kissing her he saw himself loving someone again.
It was where she accepted the fact she was an orphan, a lost girl.
“So do you have a magic bean or something?” She asks, ignoring her overwhelming thoughts inside her head.
The Dark one just laughs, “you think if I had an endless supply to magic beans I would still live here?”
Emma just glares at him, “so how do I get there? What happened to the wand you had? It created portals before?”
“That wand was lost a long time ago. As for portals, you and your brother are born of the truest love, your powers are of the strongest light magic. You created a portal once when you went back in time, I’m sure after years of training and love you’ll be able to do it again.” He explains. “Meet me back here later with your family and I’ll show you.”

Neal Nolan was working as an English Teacher in Storybrooke High. He had grown up with his older sister Emma, who was a year older than him. Or so he thought. Neal had no idea of the news he was about to be hit with about his sister.
Neal knocks on the door to his parents’ house with his gift for his sister. He got her a Granny's gift card and a new brown sheriffs jacket (which his girlfriend Thalia helped him pick out) and expects to see Emma in the goofy birthday hat they have both worn on their birthdays since they were 5, but instead, his dad opens the door and he walks in to find Emma looking through the Storybook almost crying.
“Everything okay?” He asks.
Emma looks at him, almost horrified. “We gotta talk.”
He debates whether to say Happy Birthday or not. He decides against it.
“I have no idea how you’re going to take this news,” Emma begins, “One thing is that you are an uncle.”
Nels eyes widen “You’re pregnant?”
“NO!” Emma shouts “Not, no, definitely not.”
Neal is even more confused.
“You are an uncle, but I’m not pregnant. I was, but I'm not now, or well I was a long time ago” Emma starts rambling and making no sense, Neal is even more confused now-When did Emma have a kid?
“Maybe we should back up a little.” Snow says, seeing her son's confused face.
And so the three of them explain how Emma was put through the magic wardrobe to eventually save everyone. How Emma met Neals namesake and thus Henry was born but given up for adoption. Then all about her journey in Storybrooke and breaking the curse, and all the other journeys and curses up until the one where she was turned into a toddler. And how said son and Emma’s boyfriend ran away to Neverland, a place where nobody grows old.
Looking at the photos of Emma holding her baby brother was slightly concerning considering Emma in the photos looked exactly as she did now, yet Neal was a baby. If he hadn’t just been told Emma’s previous life story, he would’ve sworn they were photoshopped.
“Okay, so what happens now?” Neal asks, worried about the answer.
“You and I have to create a portal to Neverland to save my son and True Love,” Emma tells him as though it’s obvious.
“Wait a second, you and I create a portal, like combine our powers?” Neal asks slightly worried about this, they had never combined their powers before and now they were meant to create a portal, everything that could possibly go wrong was likely to happen.
“I realise it’s crazy, but we have no choice. You just gotta trust me.” Emma knows Neal can never say no when she says this, as his older sister Emma always got him to do what she wanted by saying “trust me”. Despite getting into trouble most of the time when they were younger with the whole trusting Emma, even now as a 26 year old man, he couldn't say no to his sister.
Neal just sighs, “Okay. Let's do this.”
Neal had never stepped inside Mr. Gold's Pawn shop. When he was younger he heard stories of kids sneaking in and touching different items therefore getting cursed with the insane amounts of dark magic in his shop. Now he was older, he knew this was just a story, but it didn’t make him any less nervous to enter his shop, there was an insane amount of light and dark magic inside that freaked him out.
There was something different about Emma, the way she walked and held herself. She was less confident, very aware of her surroundings, normally she was more confident and whilst she was aware people knew her (both as Snow White oldest child, and the current sheriff), she never let this bother her, whereas now, supposedly everyone their parents age would have known her before her curse, people were looking at her wondering if she had broken her curse yet. Even as they enter Mr Gold's shop, which wasn’t actually as scary inside as he pictured, she walked in very determined,
“Okay were here. How do we do this?”
“Patience Miss Nolan.” He tells her.
“Ah and the youngest of the Charming broods I see.” Mr Gold says looking at Neal, who suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He knew of the things he had done to people, innocent people, in the Enchanted Forest and that made his stomach churn. But his parents (and Emma apparently now too) have trusted him in the past, and Neal guessed so should he.
“Before we make this portal, you don’t do things out of the goodness of whatever heart you have left. What did you ask for in return?” Emma really was not the older sister he grew up with, she was this independent, confident and slightly argumentative woman that looked like his sister, but had a different aura about her.
“For my grandson I was willing to let the poor lad have this without a deal. As for the pirate.” He sneers, Neal was told The Dark One had a colourful history with Hook, and he was seeing this already. “I simply reminded him of the 300 years he spent in Neverland and what, desires, may still lurk.”
Neal had no idea what this meant, and neither did Emma by the looks of it.
“Now, you two are born of the purest true love therefore your powers combined can create some pretty serious magic.” Gold explains, “Now I need the two of you to hold your hands together and believe you are strong enough. You need to think of the portal in your minds, you will feel it when it is ready.”
And so the siblings to just that. They take each other's hands, standing opposite one another and close their eyes. They then take a deep breath and think of a portal in their minds, letting their magic grow and rise above them.
Emma thinks of Henry, and of Killian. She thinks of Neverland in her mind, and when Henry was kidnapped, she thinks of how badly she wanted to get him back and the things she had learnt about herself, about how much she loved Henry. And about how she was feeling something for Hook.
Both siblings can feel the magic, it’s a part of them and it's rushing around their insides like their blood. Gold said they would feel it when the portal was ready, and he was not wrong. It almost splits the two siblings apart, but they hold on to one another until they just know it’s ready.
The two siblings open their eyes and see a door, a green door with black etchings and designs. It's the portal to Neverland.
They're going to save Henry. Again.
_______
The four charming family members step through the beautifully crafted door, the portal to Neverland. They had packed a few bags and Emma was going to see her son (and hopefully true love) for the first time in 25 years. She could be sick.
The greenery of Neverland greets them as they walk through the door, the humidity and vast amount of jungle and sea that they had seen once upon a time. They arrive near the coast, and Emma can’t see the Jolly Roger in the water, but she had to think positively. If Killian was here she would find him. But only after they found Henry.
She looks over at her parents, and they have the same look on their faces. Fear, determination and awoken memories they had shoved into the back of their minds. After all, Emma wasn’t the only person to go through hell in Neverland, her father was poisoned with dreamshade and had planned to spend the rest of eternity here after drinking the rejuvenating waters.
And poor Neal who only found out a few hours ago that she was actually a lot older than him and was cursed, and now he was in Neverland searching for two people he had only met as a baby.
“Let’s head into the jungle then.” Emma says to her family. And so they head off, into the green jungle filled with who knows what. Now Pan was dead, who knows who now ruled Neverland.
It looks the same as it did 30 years ago, but it feels different. The Magic on the Island feels different, she knows this now, by studying magic for years taught her to sense different types of magic and this was some kind of mix of light dark magic. Not as powerful as Dark One Magic, but not the light magic she feels inside herself. Whatever was keeping this Island alive was clearly a type of magic not found in Storybrooke.
They’re walking for probably an hour when Neals plucks up there courage and asks, “Do you recognise anything here?”
Emma wants to ignore him and shut him out, the way she would’ve done before, but he was her brother, “Honestly, no. I thought I would but it all looks the same.”
“I think we should keep walking, I think we’re on a ridge right now and I assume there’s flatland where we can set up camp a little further up.” Their mother cuts in. Snow was a bandit and a runaway for years when her father was killed, so she knows how to scope out new lands and find a place to set up camp, so they don’t question it and sure enough another little while and they find flat land that seems like a good enough place to set up camp.
“Let’s not use magic to set it up though,” Emma tells her brother, “we don’t know what sort of magic is used here, or who now rules this Island and if they can detect magic. It’s just safer to do it the normal way.”
Everyone nods as they begin to set up. Emma is terrified, she has been since she woke up and realised her life was a lie. She had grown up the way she always wished to, with a family, but now she had broken her curse, it didn’t feel right. She abandoned two people she loved, one being her son. The first family she had in 28 years.
They had run away. So heartbroken that they ran from their home. That didn’t make her feel good about herself. Henry has forgiven her for giving him up as a baby, but will he forgive her for this?
“Emma! Emma!”
She’s snapped out of her thoughts by her brother's voice.
“Sorry, I was zoned out.” She tells him.
“Hey it’s okay don’t worry.” He can clearly sense what’s happening in her brain, though he has no idea of the extent. “I know you said no magic, but don’t you think it’s a good idea to put up a protection spell around our camp? To keep out whoever or whatever might attack us.”
Her little brother was brilliant. Though his magical abilities were not as good, lucky for him was not the saviour so his magic wasn't as strong, but what he did know was his magical history and the theory behind magic, much more than Emma did.
“That's actually a really good idea! You can cast it if you want, I’m a little weak after the portal.”  She lies, she’s not weak, she's just scared of using her magic. In her real-or before her cursed life, she didn’t use magic unless it was serious, when she was the Dark One she used it for everything just like in her cursed life.
He believes her lie, why wouldn’t he, she never normally lies to him. He casts the protection spell eagerly, not normally given the chance to do magic.
“We should rest. It’s dark, and we’re not gonna be able to find Henry now. Let’s sleep, and we can figure out our plan in the morning. We also don’t know who or what is in charge of this Island, don’t want to run into them in the middle of the night.” David says to his family, to which they all agree. Emma is exhausted and her dad is right, there’s no point starting now all she knows is he is on the Island somewhere, maybe he’s imprisoned, or worse, enjoying his time on the island where you don’t grow up.
Sharing a tent with Neal when they were kids was a fun adventure, but as two adults, one who was snoring very loudly, it was a very different story. As tired and exhausted as Emma was, or thought she was, she could not sleep. Killian once told her he was never able to sleep in Neverland, as you can hear the cries of the other lost boys and girls.
But you can only hear their cries if you are also a lost one.
Sure Emma had a family, and she grew up surrounded by people who loved her, she had 2 best friends and a little brother. She was the furthest thing from a lost girl. But she was an orphan. For 28 years, she was an orphan who was never wanted, and gave up her child at 17. That part of Emma will never go away.
Giving up on trying to sleep, she gets out of the tent and sits on the log to try and clear her head. If it’s even possible to do that with the cries of lost ones.
She thought about the two men she was here to save. The last time she had seen Henry, it was saying goodbye to him on the school bus, it was a Friday so they planned to have a Star Wars marathon that weekend. Emma had stocked the freezer with Ice Cream especially. Finally Killian would learn and understand their references to Star Wars. She hoped Henry would still be the same smart little kid who questioned everything.
And Killian. God she missed him. He would bring her coffee in the mornings when she had an early start, and when she was on a night shift at the station he would be at home cooking her breakfast. If she hadn’t been cursed, they would’ve been married and had a kid or two by now. They were finally happy, finally without walls, and she had a feeling Killian was going to propose. But of course he never got the chance.
She loses her train of thought when she hears a twig being stepped on. Her impulses kick in and she hides behind the large tree to her left. She hears someone whistling, as if signalling to somebody. She sees him in the distance. A lost boy, around 15, dark hair, like…
“Henry!” She jumps from behind the tree and in front of her son.
He looks startled, obviously because she scared him and also he hasn’t seen her for 25 years. “Mom?”
Emma is smiling so hard right now, “Henry!”
Henry can’t seem to get words out, “m-mom? Is? It’s-you-you’re here?”  
She goes to embrace her son with tears streaming down her face. “I’m here. It’s broken. The curse.”
She pulls back and wipes away her tears.
“Is it really you?” He asks.
Emma looks different to how he remembers her. Her blonde hair is in a french braid, something she only learned to do in this life. Her clothes are nicer, but still donning the red jacket. Henry knows it’s her, but could it really be her?
“It’s me. Henry. It’s really me. I know you love cinnamon on your hot cocoa, and Operation Cobra brought me to Storybrooke and you made me believe in magic in everything.” Emma’s practically sobbing, she didn’t expect to see him so soon.
Henry looks nervous constantly checking his surroundings, “I can’t stay. If you’re truly my mom, then meet me here tomorrow morning when the sun rises over the place they took my heart.”  With one last look he runs away into the darkness of Neverland.
Emma is stunned for a second, confused as to what just happened. Was there someone following him, or did he need to be somewhere?
The place where they took my heart
Dark Hollow . She tried to look around but it was dark, hopefully in the morning she would be able to see the sun rising over it.
Just as she’s pondering over the last minute with Henry, she’s startled by another voice.
“Swan.”
She hasn’t heard that name in 25 years. And there’s only one person who calls her that.
“Killian.”
