MASTERLIST

~~~

Ever since you were a child, you knew that you were destined to be on the set of a production studio, surrounded by the biggest stars the business had to offer. Granted, you had always assumed you’d be the one in front of the camera rather than behind, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers in this world.

It’s not that you disliked being Khalia Dark’s assistant. She was a world renown celebrity, loved by all who were graced with her presence, from afar that is. Anyone who had the “honor” to get up close and personal with her, yourself included, knew she wasn’t the sweetest of the bunch. If you were to use your own words, she was a mythic bitch. Adored by millions, envied by more, which was pretty much the case for all of the A-listers out here anyway. Although you could do without the woman being in your vicinity, you didn’t mind being her servant most of the time.

More often than not you were certain she forgot about your existence all together, which usually gave you a chance to breathe for a bit. While your job brought about many positives for yourself, for example the extensive knowledge of posh coffees that you would have memorized for life, the highlight of the endeavor was without a doubt the exclusive access to the extravagant movie and TV sets that the queen bee happened to be appearing in each given week. Today, much to your excitement, was one of those days. Usually movies were more her forte so it was always a nice, refreshing change when she booked a role for the small screen.

Her newest conquest in the industry just happened to be one of your favorite shows to have ever aired, Criminal Minds. Of course you were trying to remain professional, but it became increasingly difficult the closer you got to the studio lot’s entrance. The child in you was screaming with joy at the prospect of being there, surrounded by some of your favorite actors and actresses in the industry. You couldn’t even consider the possibility that you would get to meet Matthew Gray Gubler, the object of your affections for as long as you had been watching the show. That simply was a no go. You were positive that if at any point in time he was in your vicinity, you would simply lose consciousness, and that wouldn’t exactly be the best first impression. The further you walked onto the set, the more amazed you were. You were so familiar with it after years of watching, it just felt like a second home. After breaking out of your stupor, you quickly spun around to try and locate your boss, immediately colliding with whatever was in front of you, letting out a small “oomf”. Well. Whoever.

“Oh my god, I’m so sorry! I wasn’t paying atten-.”

You immediately froze mid-sentence when your eyes caught up with your actions. Fuck. This is not happening. It was him. Standing less than a foot away from you was the one and only Mr. Matthew Gray Gubler, live and in the flesh. Fucking hell.

“Hey it’s no problem, I promise. Don’t worry about it. I’m not exactly the most coordinated person on the planet either, trust me”, he said, chuckling lightly. Running a hand through his unkempt curls, he momentarily let his eyes roam your frame before seemingly snapping out of it, clearing his throat and extending one of his strong looking hands towards you.

“I’m Matthew by the way.”

You, however, were still frozen in place. Realizing how stupid you looked just standing there, openly ogling the man in front of you, you quickly met his hand, a nervous smile adorning your face. His hands were so fucking soft.

Chuckling once again, he seemed to be waiting for something.

“And you are?”

Oh shit. You hadn’t even introduced yourself yet! So much for first impressions you thought.

“O-oh right! Sorry. I'm Y/N. Ms. Dark’s assistant”, you stuttered out, entranced by the specimen in front of you. “Wow, that’s a beautiful name. Well I guess it’s fitting. A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.”

Wait a second. Had you heard those words correctly. THE Matthew Gray Gubler just called you beautiful? You must’ve been dreaming, there was simply no other explanation. But when you glanced at him he was once again trailing his eyes all over you. Holy shit. You thought you were going to implode on the spot.

“Th-thank you”, you muttered shyly, feeling the blush spread across your features faster than a wildfire in a dry forest. After your weak excuse of an answer left your lips, the two of you just continued to stare at each other for what felt like hours. Eventually you were broken out of your trance by the director calling all of the actors to their places across the lot.

“I-um-I gotta go do a scene, but it was a pleasure to meet you Y/N. I hope I get to see more of you around here.” With a quick wink in my direction, he was off in the direction of the other actors swarming to the set from their trailers. For the third time in the last five minutes you were frozen to the spot in which you stood on the pavement. What in the actual fuck just happened? He called you beautiful. He wants to see more of you. HE WINKED AT YOU. This time you felt like you were truly about to lose consciousness so you booked it to the bathroom to calm yourself. After splashing some water on your face, you felt your body temperature returning to a somewhat normal degree and decided you should probably go to the set in case the Queen of Hearts needed anything from you.

When you approached the scene that was being filmed, you were able to deduct fairly quickly what the plot revolved around. Apparently Khalia had been hired as the episode’s damsel in distress victim, typical. She was definitely the type to rely on others for pretty much anything. That wasn’t what was catching your eye though. Even from where you were standing you could clearly see her making eyes at Matthew. I guess you couldn’t blame her, he was gorgeous, but it still made you feel so insecure. It really just served as a reminder that people like him would never go after people like you. They want the ones who count. They want Ms. Khalia Dark. In what world would someone like him want a nobody like Y/N Y/L/N? There wasn’t one that came to mind. And while this revelation was pretty damn heartbreaking, you couldn’t say you were shocked by the cold, hard truth.

Feeling like you had lost a war that hadn’t ever really even begun, you turned back to look at Matthew, deciding to make the most of however short the time was that you’d be here. However, he was nowhere to be seen. You quickly realized that while you had been distracted, the scene had switched to something else, one where Matthew appeared to be absent.

“Hey again!”

You literally jumped off the ground and let out a little yelp at the noise, you were so startled.

“Oops, I’m sorry! Didn’t mean to scare you, sweetheart,” he got out between adorable giggles. Damn, this man was gonna be the death of you. Literally. If he scared you like that again, you might actually have a heart attack.

“Jesus Matthew! A little warning next time!” You couldn’t help but join in his giggling after a few seconds. Returning his gesture just made the two of you laugh even harder until both of your chests hurt like hell. His laugh was angelic. Perfect. Just like him. For some reason, after you guys had calmed down a bit, you noticed him once again looking you up and down, admiring your body. You even swore you saw him lick his lips. You must be imagining things. Weird. Very weird. Bringing his wandering eyes back to yours, a goofy grin was plastered across his face. You hadn’t even realized you were biting your lip until he reached towards you, dislodging your teeth from the soft skin. “Don’t do that,” he said with a much more serious expression adorning his features. Before you really had the chance to decipher what had just happened, a loud voice cut through the air directed towards you both, causing you to put a bit of space between the two of you. You were able to easily recognize the sultry voice as Shemar’s, turning towards him, a smirk on his face.

“What’s going on that’s so funny over here,” he questioned before his attention shifted to focus solely on you. “My, my. And what’s your name sugar?” You were starstruck for what felt like the thousandth time that day, standing there with your mouth awkwardly hanging open.

“Hi, I’m Y/N. I work for Kahlia, her assistant actually. Nice to meet you”, you answered brightly, a polite smile gracing your lips.

“Trust me, the pleasure is all mine sweetness”, he concluded with a wink. While the action was endearing, it had nowhere near the same effect on you as Matthew’s did. You had always adored Morgan on the show, but you didn’t really know Shemar well enough to have any serious opinions about the dude. Matthew, however, you knew everything there was to be known, from his haunted treehouse to his love of Halloween. You weren’t proud of your obsession, but you couldn’t deny the unbelievably strong attraction you had for the man to your left. Regardless, the interaction caused a blush to spread, though this time it was caused more by being flustered rather than speechless.

You were about to say something else to try and salvage some of the pride you had just lost, but you were beaten to the punch by Romeo himself.

“Nothing’s happening over here actually, Shemar. I was having a private conversation with Y/N and I’d appreciate it if you let us get back to it. Thank you.” Matthew’s voice had picked up an edge and his eyes were dark. Like really dark. Although the situation was super uncomfortable and kind of unsettling, considering how feral he looked, you couldn’t help to think about how HOT it was. How hot he was.

“Woah, sorry kid. I didn’t mean to interrupt, just thought I’d introduce myself.”

Seeming to notice his mistakes, Matthew’s eyes quickly returned to their normal color and he stuttered out an apology, with slightly labored breaths.

“No, no I’m sorry man. I didn’t mean to snap like that, just been kind of on edge today”, he said, darting his eyes towards you quickly before redirecting his attention and clearing his throat.

“It’s all good Pretty Ricky, I get like that sometimes too. I’ll catch you guys later. It was nice to meet you Y/N”, he spoke before turning and retreating in the direction of the cast trailers. Shifting your focus back to Matthew, you could tell he was still a bit tense. You gently placed your hand on his shoulder to grab his attention, quietly asking if he was ok.

“Hmm what? Oh, um yeah. Yup. I’m-I’m good. All good. Like I said just a little on edge today. I haven’t had enough coffee”, he hastily responded. Before you could push further, the silence was broken by a shrill voice you were too familiar with, Khalia, unfortunately calling for your assistance at one of the most inopportune times. You turned back to him and gave a sad smile.

“See you around,” you asked, with just a little too much excitement laced in your voice.

“Y-yeah. Of course!” He seemed to have perked up a bit and gave you a wide grin. With a small wave, you were off to do whatever in God’s name the queen wanted from you now.

~~~

The week you were on set was surprisingly going by pretty damn quickly.

As much as you were anxiously awaiting the end so you could be free from Khalia for a bit of time, you couldn’t help but lament the fact that you would have to leave what felt like your second home. You would have to leave Matthew. That’s what hurt most of all. The two of you had become quite close in the short time you had been on set. Well, maybe not close per say, but comfortable? Sure. You guys were comfortable with each other, maybe a little too much on your end. Since that moment with Shemar and his outburst, the tenseness never seemed to dissipate completely. The two of you had shared some quick glances while he was filming a scene or while you were navigating the complex maze that was this sound stage. Whenever the two of you were near each other, he always appeared to go out of his way to get some kind of contact with you, whether it was his shoulder rubbing against yours or his fingers brushing yours as he passed by you. You, still in the mindset that someone as amazing and talented as him would never want anything to do you with you, didn’t really think much of his actions, simply playing them off as accidents and coincidences.

Although you caught him staring at you on more than one occasion during your time there, you definitely spent the majority of your time ogling the fine specimen. You didn’t understand how a person could be so perfect. Seemingly no flaws. Sure, you had known pretty much every fun fact about the man when you had arrived on set a couple days ago, but now that you had spent some time with him, you were even more enamored. Matthew was an enigma and you wanted him. So fucking bad. Unfortunately, so did basically every other girl on the planet. You really shouldn’t be wasting so much time thinking about him, but at this point you were just in too deep. Watching him do his thing on the sound stage was like watching your own personal exhibition, so much talent pouring out of him he shouldn’t have even been allowed to do what he does. The world would certainly be a lot darker without his geniusness though so you supposed it was ok. As the scene you had been watching came to a close, you decided you really wanted to talk to Matthew again, missing the sound of his velvety voice as he focused on you and only you during the few conversations you’d gotten to have so far. Just as you were about to reach him, though, Khalia appeared out of nowhere directly in front of him with the same look in her eyes she had given him your first day on set. Hunger. You didn’t really know what to do now so you just kind of stood there watching the interaction. The conversation was just out of range, but you could tell she had said something that had made them both laugh. You also watched her place her hands on him in a very flirty way. And much to your dismay, he didn’t seem to be that bothered by it.

You knew that you had absolutely no right to be jealous of her advances, seeing there was nothing between the two of you, but you couldn’t help but feel a bit hurt. You had known all along that he didn’t have those kinds of feelings for you, but the cold, hard truth being presented on a silver platter right in your face sucked. A whole hell of a lot. Deciding to leave the two of them to enjoy their moment, you turned and made your way to the snack table on the opposite side of the room. As you got closer, you noticed Shemar lingering around it, seemingly snacking on something among the array of treats presented on the table.

“Hey. Nice to see you again”, you said with a small smile, alerting him of your presence.

You had gotten a bit closer to him over the last few days, getting to know more about him, rather than just his character. He was a really nice guy. Very charming, much like his TV counterpart.

“Y/N! Hey! How are you today?”

“I’m ok. Not one of the best, but hey I’m alive I guess”, you said with a sad smile. Worry quickly spreading across his face, he pulled you into a hug, gently caressing your back.

“Hey don’t say that babydoll. It might not be the best of days, but everyday is worth living in my eyes. We’re all so lucky to be given the chance to be here so why not say fuck it and make everyday a party.” You pulled away from him chuckling at his words, feeling slightly better than you had before. You were grateful for Shemar helping you out when you needed a mood boost.

“Thanks Shemar. You sure know how to make a girl feel better.”

“Anytime baby girl”, he said with a wink, making you giggle again at his silly nicknames and behavior towards you. A little bit more at ease, you let your eyes survey the room real quick, eventually landing on Matthew. A very angry and annoyed looking Matthew. He was staring directly at the two of you, his hands balled into fists at his sides, his breathing heavy, his eyes as dark as could be. Less than a minute later, he turned around and stormed off in the direction of what you assumed was his trailer. Quickly focusing on Shemar again, you excused yourself and then immediately ran off in the direction he had headed just moments before.

You were able to locate the trailer simply labeled “MGG” fairly quickly and you cautiously approached the steps leading up to the entrance. Would he even want to see you? Why were you special enough to even be this close to his trailer? Before you could second guess yourself anymore, you speedily climbed the steps and knocked on the door, an action based solely on the fact he was without a doubt upset about something and apparently it was your fault to some degree.

You heard some rustling behind the door before his voice rang out.

“Who is it?”

Shit. He sounded really upset. Pushing aside the anxiety bubbling in your chest, you decided that you were curious more than anything and wanted to know what you had done to get his panties in such a twist.

“I-It’s Y/N.”

Immediately the door swung open, making you jump slightly. Without saying a word, he grabbed your arm and dragged you over the threshold, handling you like a rag-doll. Once you were inside he released your arm and began pacing around the trailer, breathing pretty heavily. Maybe it was a mistake coming here. You thought you should probably go and leave him alone for a bit so he could cool off.

“I-I shouldn’t have come here. I’ll leave you be”, you sputtered out, quickly making your way towards the exit. However, before you could even reach the door, his deep voice echoed through the trailer.

“Why did you let him touch you like that?”

You froze mid-step, unsure of how to respond. “Huh?” Wow, nice going Y/N. Really scraped the dictionaries for that one.

“Shemar. Why did you let him put his hands on you and touch you like that?” As he spoke his question, he slowly moved towards you, like a predator eyeing its prey. What was he talking about? Why did he care that you and Shemar had shared a brief hug? And most perplexing of all, why in the hell was he looking at you with such fire in his eyes.

“I-I don’t know what you mean Matthew.”

After his name fell from your lips, you saw his mouth twitch as he moved to close the gap between the two of you, leaving just enough space that your breaths intermingled, but no actual physical contact was occuring.

“You’re mine, Y/N. You. Are. Mine.” What did he just say? Were you imagining this whole situation in some sick dream of yours? Your brain was struggling to catch up.

“What are you even talki-.”

Before you could finish your sentence, Matthew had surged forward, clashing his mouth against yours, hungrily devouring your lips like they were his favorite meal. You moaned at the contact, letting the shock envelope your entire body. He was ravenous, tongue pressing against your lips, begging for entry. Finally processing what the hell was happening, your mouth quickly opened and welcomed his needy tongue, feeling it tangle with yours as he released the most delicious moan you had ever heard in all the years you had been alive. His hands moved frantically, hastily ripping at the clothes covering your body, desperate to feel any part of you that he could.

You couldn’t even comprehend how this was happening. Matthew wanted you? Not only did he want you, but he was acting on it too. Fuck. He had said you were his. Did he really mean that?

Breaking away from your lips to pull your blouse over your head, you could’ve sworn you heard a growl escape his throat as his eyes hungrily drank in your appearance, left only in your bra and panties. “Fuck, you’re gorgeous. How are you so fucking hot?” Holy shit. The pure lust that dripped in his words made your legs feel like Jell-O, barely keeping it together as he shed his own shirt and began unbuckling his belt. Apparently that was what caused the wire in your brain to snap, your body surging forward to reconnect your lips and rake your nails down his chest.

“Please Matthew”, you whined, not even entirely sure what you wanted him to do. You just needed more.

Groaning at the desperation evident in your voice, he let his hand drift down your body, toying with the waistband of your panties. “Please what? What do you want from me, sweetheart?” His words made you whimper, grasping his hand to try and maneuver it underneath the damp fabric covering the place you needed him most.

“Uh uh uh. I want you to use your words princess. You can do that for me can’t you?”

Nodding your head fervently, you pushed aside any embarrassment you felt and answered almost immediately as the words left his mouth. “I want you to touch me! Please Matthew, I’m begging you!” As soon as you finished your desperate plea, his nimble fingers had ripped your panties down your legs and he was guiding you towards the couch conveniently located nearby. The two of you stumbled onto the cushions, Matthew hovering over you pinning you down, his large erection pressing into your thigh through his pants. You choked on a breath as one of his long, narrow fingers entered you swiftly, pumping in and out of you at a brutal pace, soon followed by two more. You were a whimpering mess as Matthew had his way with you, perfectly curling his fingers to hit your special spot over and over again. You needed him inside of you now or you were gonna explode.

“You’re so wet sweetheart. This all for me”, he questioned cockily, savoring the sounds pouring from your lips, cherishing the way your body writhed underneath his.

“Yes Matthew! It’s all for you. Only you”, your words were accompanied by a long, drawn out moan.

“Good girl”, he growled as his fingers picked up their pace, pushing you dangerously close to the edge. Matthew must have picked up on the fact based on the way your muscles were clenching around his digits and the way your breath was becoming more and more labored.

“That’s it, baby. Come for me, little girl. Come all over my fingers.” His graphic words made your eyes roll back in your head as you felt your orgasm crash through your body, Matthew continuing his ministrations throughout the entirety of it. As you came down from your high and opened your eyes, you were met with the beautiful vision of Matthew sucking your juices off of himself, staring intently at you with lust-filled eyes. “Mmmm, so fucking sweet baby”, he moaned as he licked the last bit away. Realizing you simply couldn’t wait any longer, you grabbed onto his forearm, pulling him to you as close as physically possible.

“Matthew I need you inside of me right now. Please. Please, I need you.” You felt like you were on the verge of crying, you were so damn desperate for him. You didn’t miss the way his eyes instantly darkened even more after hearing you beg him to fuck you so viscerally.

“Baby, I really want to feel you bouncing on my cock. Can you do that? Can you ride me like a good girl, sweetheart?”

Not even bothering to answer his questioning, you mustered up all of your strength to push him up and off of you, allowing yourself to straddle him on one of the cushions. You made quick work unzipping his pants and signalling for him to lift up his hips, allowing you to hastily pull down both his slacks and boxers in one go. God, you were so fucking horny and needy for the man in front of you, you felt like you were going insane. Actually, scratch that. You were already long gone. Finally having removed the last barrier between the two of you, his strong hands grabbed your hips and positioned you over his throbbing cock, slowly letting you lower yourself down. Both of you released matching groans at the overwhelming feeling.

“Fuck, princess. You feel so fucking amazing”, he moaned before gently grasping your hips, encouraging you to start moving. You couldn’t control the string of whimpers that escaped your mouth as you started circling your hips, gradually picking up your pace. It felt so fucking good, incomparible to anything you had ever felt before. As your speed increased and he began thrusting upwards to meet you, his hands reached behind you, finding the clasp of your bra, practically ripping the garment off of your body. Without any barrier blocking your breasts, he sat back and ogled you as they bounced in sync with your rapid movements, eventually needing more and grabbing the pillowy flesh with his wandering hands. The stimulation only made you move faster, desperate for the addicting friction that you could feel radiating throughout your whole being. You felt Matthew’s grip on your hips tighten exponentially, in order to get your undivided attention.

“I bet you thought you looked real cute flirting with him like that, didn’t you princess”, he sputtered, his voice strained and hoarse. The sound of it made your insides quiver even more.

“I-I wasn’t f-flirting. I w-was just being n-nice”, you stammered, feeling your climax slowly building more and more with each thrust. He growled and immediately picked up the pace, speaking his next words clearly for you to understand. “That’s bullshit baby and you know it. Do you really think he could fuck you like this, sweetheart? Do you think his cock could fill you up this perfectly? Make you feel the way I do?”

“N-Noooo! No, of course not. I only want you!” You were a moaning, whimpering mess as you gripped his shoulders trying to maintain your balance, his thrusts launching you into a whole other universe. “What was that, little girl? I couldn’t really hear you.”

“Fuck! Matthew! I only want you! There’s no one else!” You couldn’t control yourself any longer. You lost the ability to move as he wrapped his arms around your waist, slamming into you so fucking hard you swore you could see stars.

“There better fucking not be, little girl. You are mine, sweetheart. All fucking mine. Mine!” His words make the chord in your stomach snap, your climax overtaking your body dangerously fast. “MATTHEW!” Your vision was spotty, muscles clenched incredibly tight, when you felt his cock start to twitch violently inside of you.

“Fuck! Y/N! Oh my god!” As soon as the words left his mouth, you felt his cum fill you up completely, warmth radiating throughout your body as his dick pulsated inside of you.

You collapsed against his sweaty frame, holding on for dear life. “Matthew, Matthew, Matthew”, you muttered as you fought to regulate your breathing. Both of you were shaking, thanks to the world-shattering orgasams you had just experienced, his hands gently rubbing your back, soothing you. “Shhhhhh, breathe little girl”, he whispered so warmly it made butterflies bloom in your stomach, a stark contrast to the way he was speaking moments ago.

Pulling yourself upright, you couldn’t tear your eyes away from his. After a few seconds had passed, a huge grin slowly formed on his beautiful face, letting out a light giggle. “Hey.”

Feeling a smile form on your own face from his silliness, you couldn’t help but fall for him even more. “Hi”, you shyly responded, reaching up to poke the dimple that was visible on his face, giggling when he playfully stuck his tongue out, trying to reach your finger with it. Completely absorbed in the moment, you had forgotten that he was still inside of you and you were probably hurting him, not that he was gonna complain. You slowly lifted yourself off of him, both of you wincing slightly at the sensation. He immediately pulled you back to him afterwards and continued to rub your back like he had before. It was so comforting, you were scared you were gonna fall asleep in his lap, which you pretty quickly concluded wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, noticing the way his eyes seemed to droop as well.

As you felt yourself starting to drift off, you heard his soothing voice near your ear. “I’m really sorry I got so rough Y/N. I didn’t mean to act like that. I just got so jealous seeing you with him and I didn’t know how to control my emotions. I didn’t know how to tell you how I felt.” He sounded genuinely sad when he spoke, the guilt evident in his quiet voice.

“Matthew, baby, don’t be sorry, ok? I really enjoyed every second of it, I promise. As for Shemar...you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I’ve only ever had eyes for you. You’re kind of stuck with me Gube.” You felt the chuckle vibrate through his body at your words and you lazily smiled against his chest.

“I know, sweetheart. I know.” You heard him hesitate and you wondered if he was going to finish his thought, hopefully before you knocked out cold. “Would you-would you maybe want to go out with me this weekend? Like on a-a date? You felt your heart swell in your chest at his question and slowly nodded against him.

“I would love that, Matthew.”

Cherishing the feeling of holding each other in your arms, the two of you quickly succumbed to the drowsiness, falling into the most comfortable slumber you had ever experienced.

Tangled PMV.... 2! The song is Strawberry Blond by Mitski, and it's Cass/Cassunzel-centric. Thanks for watching!

[Video description (long, press j to skip): Tangled the Series PMV set to Strawberry Blond. As lyrics are said, they appear onscreen. The song begins with several seconds of clapping in rhythm, over which the title appears “Tangled, Strawberry Blonde”. The first two verses are over Cass and Rapunzel sneaking out to the black rocks in Before Ever After.

“I love everybody Because I love you” in mostly blues, A shot of the back of Rapunzel’s head, short hair blowing in the wind. “When you stood up Walked away, barefoot” Frame redraw of Raps and Cass riding their horses, silhouetted. “And the grass where you lay/ Left a bed in your shape” Raps and Cass look offscreen in the forest, then Rapunzel walks off excitedly, Cass looking after her. “I looked over it/ And I ached” Rapunzel beams, surrounded by fireflies, and looks back at Cass, smiling and blushing a little.

“I love everybody Because I love you” Rapunzel from behind, standing on the wall of Corona. “I don't need the city, and I Don't need proof” Rapunzel reaches to touch the black rocks while Cass looks at Corona in the distance. “All I need, darling, is a life in your shape” Cass holds Rapunzel’s hand as they run together, Rapunzel’s hair is glowing gold. “I picture it, soft/ And I ache” Cass looks behind her at the rocks, then ahead with shock when she sees Rapunzel.

“Look at you, Strawberry Blond” Rapunzel, holding up her newly long, blonde, glowing hair with shock and concern.

Instrumentals over four scenes of Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra from the rest of BEA, Season One: 1. In front of the door after the coronation fight in BEA. Raps and Eugene grin at each other, Cass looks suspiciously at Lady Caine’s fan. 2. Them looking down into the dungeons, grinning at each other, from Cassandra v. Eugene. 3. Jumping off the tower in The Quest for Varian. 4. Looking out of the broken wall of Corona as the sun rises after the finale.

“Reach out the car window Trying to hold the wind” Cass reaches a hand out of the caravan she is driving as some birds fly past “You tell me you love her/ I give you a grin” Eugene excitedly shows off his ring for Rapunzel to Lance, while Cass looks at him tiredly, then looks away. “Oh all I ever wanted was” Rapunzel Day One, Cass is tied up while Raps points a frying pan at her. “A life in your shape” Same episode, Rapunzel sitting against Cass at the fire, both of them blushing. “So I follow the white lines”. The door in the House of Yesterday’s Tomorrow, white light shining through the cracks. “Follow the while lines” Cass walking along the black rocks pointing the way. “Keep my eyes on the road/ As I ache” Cass looks into the camera as she walks, expression closed, then it switches to Cass clutching her burned arm, teeth gritted and eyes shadowed.

A/N: This is also requested in Wattpad.

Hey guys, I know you guys are brilliant and you sure will find that there is no logic somewhere🙄🙄 Don't care about that😜

Episode 7 SPOILER

Jake Is MWF!!

______________________

Richy was attacked by the Man Without Face! I cried looking at the screen of my phone.

I can't believe Richy was attacked. I felt tears roll down my cheeks. No, this shouldn't be happening, I am going to Duskwood. Now.

I packed my backpack and switched off my phone's GPS, location. I don't want Jake to know that I am going to Duskwood. Because I promised to Jake.

I took my car and driving to Duskwood. I grabbed a map from the shop since I don't know the route to Duskwood even it is near my town.

_____________________

It is a 10 mins drive, it is evening now. I got more notifications, but didn't care. I finally reached near Duskwood, so I parked my car and started to walk.

It took good 5 mins of walk. I saw the Welcome To Duskwood board. I gave a small sad smile to the board and started to enter the forest to find Richy.

I know this is stupid of me, but I don't want to put my other friends in danger. I heard birds chirping sounds and the sound of my shoe breaking the dried twigs and leaves.

As I went deep I saw the dare house which Richy showed me through the phone. I felt my eyes well up, I looked up at the sky not to cry.

I went past the dare house. I heard some sounds. Crap. I hid behind a big tree. I took my phone from my pocket and switched on the camera.

I turned on the selfie and tried to look at what is happening, and I did. I saw......Man Without Face.

I felt my heartbeat racing crazily. He was dragging Richy somewhere! I don't know what to do. But I want to do something!

I took my phone and texted Jake. "Jake!" I sent. I heard a phone buzz sound somewhere, but I didn't care.

I texted him again "Jake, help!". I heard the buzz sound again. This is weird. I typed him again some random stuff "kurbakrfe,".

I heard the buzz sound, I peeked only to see the sound is coming from the Man Without Face!

I suspect something is wrong. I saw the Man Without Face is still dragging Richy and going somewhere. I texted Jake some random stuff again only to get a buzzing sound from The Man Without Face.

I felt my heart crash. Jake is the man without a face! I went out of my hiding place. And I am sure Jake is Man Without Face, because Jake is not so stupid to miss his phone or been kidnapped.

I went near them, he didn't notice me because I came from a different side. "Do you want some help?" I asked.

I don't know where this courage came from. I feel Jake won't hurt me, maybe because I am in love with him?

He turned to look at me. I crossed my hands against my chest. He looked stunned. I mean I can't see his face because of his Man Without Face mask, but his body language shows he is shocked.

I looked at Richy who is fainted. I felt like I want to punch Jake for making him like that.

"Good that you are here, making my job easy," Jake - The Man Without Face said. I know that, he is trying to show that he is not shocked.

He raised his hand to beat me, but I didn't even move. He paused, because I didn't even budge. He slid his hand inside his pocket and sprayed something, I smell something and everything went black.

______________________

My wrists hurt. I opened my eyes only to see I was tied with a chair. Ah, my head. It hurts.

I looked around, this is an old damaged house. Looks like no one will enter. I heard the door opening with a creaking sound, since it is so old.

I stared at the person who came inside with messy black hair, and piercing blue eyes. Wow, he is handsome. What are you thinking about, MC! Haven't you seen any handsome guys before?! Stop drooling! I saw, but not like him. He looks so good.

I cleared my throat and looked away after having a small debate with myself.

"I am sure you found who I am," He said. Which made me remember everything and made the situation serious.

"Why?" I asked with a hint of sadness after realizing that I was cheated. He didn't reply anything. "Why? What did you get by doing this?" I asked again.

"I don't have to say the reason to you," he retorted. I chuckled sarcastically "you used me, Jake. I have the right to know, why." I said a bit cold.

"Isn't Hannah your half-sister? Why did you kidnap her?" I asked. "And, before answering my question, untie this rope. I won't run away," I added.

He stared at me for few seconds and came near me to untie me. He did, I stood from the chair and threw a punch at Jake's face.

"Ah," he muttered in pain. I held my wrist, because of the rope it hurts a bit "Why did you punch me?!" He asked. "I just wanted to," I said casually.

I finally punched him which I wanted to do when I saw him first. He didn't say anything. "Now, answer my question," I said.

"Why did you kidnapped Hannah when she is your half-sister?" I repeated my question. "That's the reason, she is my half-sister. That's why I kidnapped her!" He said angrily.

"What do you mean?" I asked with a confused frown. "Because of her, I didn't get my perfect Childhood. I didn't get my father's love and care," he said with a hint of anger and pain in his voice.

I didn't say anything so he continued "My father loved female child very much, so he abandoned me and my mother," he said.

I still didn't get it, but I chose not to ask any deep because he is feeling hurt. "But why only Hannah and not Lily?" I asked him.

"Because Lily is adopted," he said which shocked me. "And she didn't know about that," he added.

"So, you cheated me with everything," I said with a hint of pain in my voice. "MC, I didn't cheat you with everything," he said.

"I am indeed a wanted hacker by the government," he said. I remained silent. "I protected you from my pursuers," he added.

"You played with my feelings, Jake," I said with tears in my eyes. "MC...I did fake most of the things, but believe me my feelings for you are real, I fell for you already," he said.

I don't know what to do, go and hug him and kiss him or punch him again. I want to do both. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Where is Richy?" I questioned him while wiping my tears. "He is safe," Jake said with a sad voice. "What are you going to do to Hannah?" I asked him without looking at him.

"Nothing, I will leave her in 2 days," he said. "What about Richy, then?" I asked him. "After he woke up, you can take him with you," he said.

I nodded as I felt a lump in my throat. I took my backpack. "I will inject a drug to him," he said. "Why?" I asked with my low Voice.

"He can't know this place," he said. "You will do the same to me?" I questioned. He shook his head side to side.

"Why?" I questioned again with my low voice. "Because, I trust you MC," he said which clenched my heart.

"Will you come back?" He asked me. I stared at him "No," I shook my head and went out of the room.

_____________________

I met with my Duskwood friends, Richy was admitted to the hospital. They scolded me for coming to Duskwood and Thanked me for saving Richy.

I chuckled at their concern. Now we are at the hospital. "Did you saw the Man Without Face's face?" Thomas asked Richy.

"No," Richy said. "Ms. Riddle Solver, you did?" Dan asked me. "No, I didn't," I lied. I looked at Richy, he smiled at me which I returned.

_____________________

I stayed at Jessy's place for 2 days. Hannah came back, Jake released her as he said. They all are happy, that Hannah came.

They didn't ask her any questions, since she said 'Guys, don't ask me anything,'.

Now we all are in Thomas's house. I was standing at the balcony, while they all are happily chatting.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to see Hannah. She gave me a smile, which I can't return.

"I know why are you sad," she said. I frowned "what do you mean?" I asked. "We solved our problems by talking, we found it is a misunderstanding. So, Jake apologized to me. We spend a day as brother and sister," she said.

"He told me everything. You should probably go now, or you will miss him. You will never get to see him again," Hannah said.

It took a moment to realise what does that mean. I hugged Hannah "thanks," I said and ran out with my backpack.

I ran to the place where Jake kept Hannah and Richy. But he is not there. I ran as fast as I could and reached the road only to see Jake walking with his backpack.

I took some breathe, "Oi!" I said which made him turn back. He looked confused, I walked to him. I looked down at my shoe, finding it interesting as I stood near Jake with my hands on my backpack's straps.

"Didn't you said you won't come back?" He asked. "My wish," I mumbled and looked at him.

"You will leave me just like that, if I said I won't come back?" I argued. "And you know wha-" before I could finish Jake kissed me which I returned.

______________________

A/N: Guys, I just felt it is going somewhat sadly from start so I tried to make some funny scene, which is her 'Debate with herself' 😅😅😅 but it is not funny at all😐😐

Atlas in the Land of the Cyclops

Here we have a movie with a big, brawny hero in a very short skirt, whose hobbies include drinking potions, napping, and bending prison bars! He stars in a film that is poorly-made, mythologically questionable, and deliciously ripe for heckling. What more could a MSTie possibly want?

Long ago, Ulysses blinded the cyclops and outsmarted the witch Circe, and they’re still pissed about it. As the movie begins, they’re on the verge of completing their revenge by murdering Ulysses’ last descendants. The last king of Ithaca is killed in a raid, but his young son is smuggled away and left in the care of an old shepherd. Upon hearing of the slaughter, Maciste goes to the land of Sadok to save Queen Penope and the other women of Ithaca, who have been taken captive by Circe’s descendant, Queen Capys. On the way he saves Capys from a rockslide and they fall in love, each not knowing who the other is… which goes on to make things very awkward later. Nobody in the movie is called ‘Atlas’.

Nobody Named Atlas Goes Anywhere Near the Land of the Cyclops is a bit oddly put-together. Theoretically the plot – the need to protect baby Prince MacGuffin from Queen Capys’ soldiers – is established quickly, but then it seems to take a while before anybody makes any progress. This is because a lot of the early plot developments happen by complete accident.

After making sure the baby is safe, Maciste sets out for Sadok. He quickly finds out where Capys is keeping the Ithacan prisoners, but this isn’t clever detective work – it’s just a coincidence, when some soldiers ask him to help them carry a giant amphora into the palace. Meanwhile, Capys has been told that somebody named Maciste knows where Baby MacGuffin is, and orders her soldiers to find this man and bring him in alive. Her Vizier, Ephetus, does so – but again, it’s an accident! He arrests Maciste for wandering into ‘The Forest of the Vestals’ and sentences him to death for that before ever learning his name!

Once Maciste is in Capys’ custody the movie finally seems to figure out where it’s going, but this over-reliance on coincidence makes the first half of Nobody Named Atlas Goes Anywhere Near the Land of the Cyclops feel very muddled. The only thing that really needs to be an accident to make the plot work is Maciste and Capys meeting in Circe’s cavern without knowing they’ve already sworn to destroy each other. Following that with more coincidences feels like filling time.

The bit where Maciste is arrested is really weird, actually. The Vestals appear to be playing Blind Man’s Bluff, and Maciste just wanders into the middle of it. The blindfolded woman bumps into him and feels up his pecs for a moment while he stands there grinning awkwardly, then she pulls her blindfold off, screams, and faints. Soldiers then run out of the bushes and arrest Maciste.

So that was odd… then there’s the way Ephetus decides to have Maciste executed for harassing the Vestals. They put him on a board over a lion pit (every ancient kingdom has a lion pit) and tie a long rope to each of his wrists. Then six white guys in green skirts pull on one rope, and six black guys in white skirts pull on the other. Eventually, of course, Maciste overpowers both teams and everybody but him gets to be Fancy Feast. Only once that’s all over does Ephetus realize that this is the guy the queen wants delivered to her alive.

There’s other weird shit that goes on, too. In another sequence, Maciste is getting his ass beat by Ephetus’ flunky Mumba (Paul Wynter from Mole Men Against the Son of Hercules, still buffer and oilier than the guy playing Maciste) and, having recently been drugged, is barely able to fight back. He gets a second wind when Mumba throws him against another giant amphora, which breaks, dousing him in wine. Maciste blinks a few times, and then suddenly becomes unstoppable. Was it the alcohol, or the blow to the head? There’s a truth serum that is administered by pouring it into an enormous wine goblet… and this isn’t just a thing for Maciste, either, everybody in this movie drinks booze from glasses the size of their own head. Nor can we forget the guy who gets thrown overboard from a ship, and out of nowhere a shark just appears and eats him immediately.

None of these are a full-on WTF Moment but all of them are kind of bizarre and many of them got a laugh out of me. A lot of them also tie in to the movie’s main obsession, which is Maciste’s Feats of Strength.

We are treated to many of these, all of which go on a little too long. They are filmed in loving detail, particularly focusing on the muscles in Maciste’s back, which are so well delineated that they almost comprise an anatomy lesson. We get the obligatory lion-wrestling scene (totally separate from the later lion pit scene), in which we are relieved to learn that yes, Maciste does have underwear beneath that miniskirt. We get him holding up a stone roof that’s threatening to collapse, there’s the giant amphora and the inevitable prison bars, all while Maciste makes some very constipated faces.

My favourite bit is when Maciste rolls a giant boulder into the middle of a road so the soldiers can’t follow him. What makes it funny is that this is clearly not the first take: the boulder has been rolled repeatedly, and there are places where the paint has come off to show the white Styrofoam underneath.

All this emphasis on Maciste’s rippling trapezius muscles makes the movie feel just a tad homoerotic. One shot where the camera pans slowly around Maciste’s body while Capys walks a circle around him could be an attempt to depict the female gaze – a very rare thing in movies. But I don’t know what to tell you about the Maciste-vs-Mumba fight scene, which is either trying very hard to be sexy or else I’m just looking through tumblr-coloured glasses again.

The climactic battle with the cyclops is pretty great. The cyclops is played by a normal-sized stuntman made to look like a giant through camera angles, which means that Maciste can never be in the same shot with him. There are ways to do this well but Nobody Named Atlas Goes Anywhere Near the Land of the Cyclops does not use those – instead we just get some really funny jump cuts.

According to the movie, the reason Queen Capys wants to carry out her ancestress’ revenge on Ulysses is because until it is complete, she is under a curse. Capys herself describes this as being ‘forced to live in hatred’, but it is very unclear what this means. Early on, Ephetus confesses his love for Capys and she replies that she doesn’t know what the word means – this made me think perhaps her curse was an inability to fall in love. A few minutes later, however, she has laid eyes on Maciste and his sheer manliness thaws her icy loins in a matter of seconds. So… is her curse supposed to be that her subjects hate her? They hate her because she keeps feeding them to a cyclops! She could stop that at any time! Her curse can’t be that nobody can love her, because Ephetus and Maciste both do!

I mentioned that Nobody Named Atlas Goes Anywhere Near the Land of the Cyclops shares an actor – Paul Wynter – with Mole Men Against the Son of Hercules. It also shares a director, Antonio Leonviola (he also made Thor and the Amazon Women, the movie that runs over the opening credits of Cave Dwellers). Maybe that’s why both movies have an evil queen who is supposed to be redeemed by her love for Maciste. You may recall that I didn’t think Mole Men did this very well – Halismuya continued torturing people even after her supposed change of heart. Land of the Cyclops does a bit better.

We don’t actually get an impression of Capys’ journey, but we do see the beginning and end of it. As the movie begins, she’s callously throwing victims to the cyclops and looking forward to breaking her curse by killing Ulysses’ last two descendants. At the end she sacrifices her life trying to save Baby MacGuffin despite knowing that it means she will never be free. Her motivations for switching sides are unclear – she says that knowing Maciste has ‘changed her nature’ but we don’t ever see him trying to convince her that this child deserves to live. She does remark that when she’s with Maciste she’s ‘only a woman’ rather than a queen… so maybe he brought out her maternal instincts?

I also don’t know what Ephetus’ determination to kill Queen Penope along with her son is all about. She’s not a descendant of Ulysses, but he actually puts off killing Baby MacGuffin – the thing he believes his queen wants him to do – until he has identified the child’s mother. The movie also never explains why this kid, whose father was the king of somewhere else entirely, apparently has the right to succeed Capys as ruler of Sadok.

Nobody Named Atlas Goes Anywhere Near the Land of the Cyclops is a pretty lousy movie, but it’s a fun lousy movie. It’s kinda racist and kinda sexist, but no more so than a thousand other movies of its vintage. The only complaint I might have about its entertainment value is that it needed more crappy monsters. The cyclops is pretty bad, but he doesn’t show up until the very end. Fortunately, the rest of the movie has plenty of other stupid shit to fill it out.

Catching Rain

Part of The Untamed - EXO Wolf Universe

Genre: Wolf!AU

Pairing: Minseok x Reader

Summary: You were more than satisfied with your life. You attended a nice college, had nice friends, a nice boyfriend. That’s what your life was: nice. You weren’t looking for anything more, so what were you to do when this seemingly harmless boy walked into your life and turned your nice little world into one much more dangerous?

Part: 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5 I 6 I 7 I 8 I 9 I 10 I Epilogue

You parked on the side of an empty back road, careful not to stop in any spot that might be muddy. It hadn’t rained for a few days, but with the weather lately, you couldn’t be too careful. The last thing you needed was to have to call Erik and confess to him that you did indeed go out to the woods to take pictures and were now stuck in the mud and needed his help.

A small part of you felt guilty. His concern wasn’t completely unfounded. If he’d had gotten hurt working on a backdrop by himself, whether by falling off a ladder or being hit by a light, you would be hesitant about him doing it again. But each of you were your own person, right? Independent not codependent?

Okay, it was probably time to lay of the self-help books for a while. You took one modern philosophy class and it had been a downward spiral from there. Perhaps it was time to give the supernatural genre a try.

The trees smelled intoxicating. Mixed with the humidity in the air, it was the kind of scent that could outperform even the most expensive of perfumes. It was an aroma that surrounded you, engulfed you in its arms the further into the woods you went. The peaceful smile that pulled on the corners of your lips were automatic, involuntary. Not that you would fight if you could. Despite the rumors of wolves running around, you were comfortable here.

Deep within the forest, a wide, oval clearing full of browned wildflowers rested. Bits of green here and there tried to break through the foliage that had died during the harsh winter. Their odds of making it through might not have been great, but you admired their tenacity.

These clearings were common in the woods and yet, they were your favorite places to capture. From one angle, it could seem like you were lost in a fast labyrinth of Mother Nature. Another, a prairie that belonged to another region entirely. The possibilities were endless if you really thought about it. And each clearing, you’d discovered, was unique within itself. Its shape, the plants it held, the thickness of the grass. You knew you hadn’t found every one yet, but you were determined to someday. For now, though, you would have stick with this particular clearing that you had visited before, as it was close to the road for a quick getaway, should you need it.

Sliding the bags off your shoulder, you crouched down and dug through until you found your notebook. The pages were unlined, which allowed you to right down your thoughts and ideas at odd angles. To you, it gave the otherwise somewhat boring inside a more artistic aesthetic. The plain leather cover was soft in your hands, worn from the amount of use and abuse you’d put it through. It wasn’t exactly common for photographers to write out their ideas before shooting. Some drew out the scene they wanted to capture, trying out different angles in their imagination. Most didn’t do any sort of prep like this at all. But you preferred to write it out, especially since most of your ideas tended to come at the most inconvenient times. Scribbling down half-coherent words tended to be quicker than a sketch.

After a quick review of your latest ideas, you tossed the notebook down and turned on your camera. You took several test shots, adjusting each settling until you came to the look you were searching for. Long shots and close ups, you photographed nearly every square foot of that clearing in order to get that one picture. That one picture that took everyone’s breath away, that made them stop and tilt their head every which way in order to take the scene in at all possible viewpoints. You wanted to them to see the world the way you did.

So in tuned to what you were doing, you hadn’t noticed the pair of eyes watching you from the shadows. They gave off the faintest glow filled with curiosity as they hovered in the air. You snapped a few photos in their direction, still unaware of their presence, and then lowered the camera to look back on the shots. At first, when you clicked through the pictures, you didn’t notice the tiny amber dots that blended in with the foliage. But by the fourth picture, you stopped.

Never before had you been scared by this place. Then again, the only animals you’d ever encountered before were rabbits and deer and other mostly harmless critters. These did not look like the eyes of a friendly Disney sidekick. Ice ran down your spine. You couldn’t run. If it was a predator, that would only encourage it. So, you tried to remain as still as possible while lifting your eyes to the spot that the animal was hiding. Perhaps there was a chance that it wouldn’t sense your fear and would take your stare down as a reason to walk away.

No such luck.

The leaves under its paws rustled as it stepped forward into the sun.

A tannish wolf with a long black strip down its back revealed itself. But it didn’t look menacing. In fact, though you might have been fooling yourself, it seemed almost… curious? Confused? It was hard to read the expression since you couldn’t fully compare it to a human. With slow, thoughtful steps, it came closer. You tried to remain still, tried not to move. The strain was causing your legs to tremble slightly. Now, you felt tremendously stupid for not listening to Willa’s warning about wolves. Was this considered an ironic moment? You weren’t entirely sure since language arts had never been your strong suit.

Unable to keep you upright anymore, your legs gave out. At least you landed on your butt with your camera hanging safely around your neck. Your fingernails dug into the dirt next to you as the wolf came closer, still at that same cautious pace. Harder and harder, your heart pounded in your ears. The wolf paused for a few seconds before continuing on. Could it hear your terrified pulse? Silently, you said your goodbyes as the wolf erased all space between you. Its muzzle nudged your cheek, coming to a stop near your ear. It sniffed deeply, then jumped back.

Your eyes widened, somewhat relieved that it hadn’t pounced, but also confused. Why wasn’t it attacking? Why did it look spooked?

The wolf sat back, head tilting back and forth as it studied you. It made no threatening moves or sounds. The tips of its ears perked up and it let out a sound that was eerily similar to a scoff.

“I guess you’re not hungry then?” An odd thing to say out loud to an animal that couldn’t talk, but you blamed it on the shock of the whole situation.

The wolf responded with a short puff of air before lowering itself down to its stomach.

This was… surreal. All the other animals you’d ever encountered had either kept their distance or ran away at the slightest sound. And yet, here was this wolf, laying in front of you, not vicious or aggressive. It was almost… cute, in a way.

“You’re a strange creature,” you said out loud. The wolf apparently took that as a sign to come closer. Crawling on its stomach, it took came to the point where it was almost able to rest its head in your lap-

The shrill sound of your current favorite song ripped through the air. You gasped, jumping up to your feet and running to your bag where you desperately searched through the pockets until you found your phone. It was Willa.

“Hello?”

“Hey, where are you?”

“I, um,” you glanced at the wolf who had jumped up to its feet. “I got bored so I’m just out driving around. Why?”

“Jiyoung called and asked last second to switch shifts at the coffee shop and so I’m free for the evening. And I’m hungry.”

You laughed a little at her not-so-subtle hint. “Alright. Give me twenty minutes to get back to the dorm. How does brick oven pizza sound?”

“Like heaven.”

“Okay, then. See you soon.” You ended the call and looked up, meeting eyes with the wolf. It never broke contact and in turn, gave you a bit more bravery. Lifting up the camera, you snapped a single shot of the wolf. “I’ll be back.” A strange promise to make, but you said it anyway. You wanted another encounter with this mysterious creature. Gathering up your things, you hurried out of the clearing and back through the trees to your car, still sitting on the side of the road.

It took less than twenty minutes to make it back to the university. Back at the dorm, Willa was lying on her bed, scrolling through her phone mindlessly. She sat up as soon as you came through the door.

“Fun drive?” she asked.

You shrugged. “It was fine.”

“No exciting scenes to snap?”

Her tease made you roll your eyes. “No, not really. Now, come on. I thought you said you wanted to eat?”

Not missing a beat, Willa jumped up from the bed, snatched up her purse, and pulled you out of the room, contemplating out loud which signature pizza sounded good.

Minseok growled as he ran through the forest. How he could have possibly lost those three was beyond him. Being unable to find them now was even more stupefying. They were loud, how could he not know which direction to take? He had to be careful. This part of the forest was close to the back roads and Junmyeon was worried they were being spotted too often. If the three them weren’t paying attention-

Click. Click. Click.

Minseok brought himself to a halt at the strange sound. There wasn’t any sort of pattern to it, but there was an underlying shuttering that seemed vaguely familiar. Too curious to just ignore it, Minseok headed in the direction e suspected it came from. Once he found the answer, he’d go back to finding the others.

The sound led him to one of the many clearings in the woods. A person wandering around the area taking pictures seemed to be the source, a camera in their hands. You appeared to be alone. Odd since not many ventured out in the forest by themselves. The isolation didn’t seem to bother you, though as you carelessly went about your task.

Staying in the shadows, Minseok watched your back as you continued to photograph the nature around you. Something… something strange was tingling in his shoulders, like the muscle beneath the skin had fallen asleep. Without prompt from him, his paw moved forward. He should be leaving. Be gone before you spotted him. But he couldn’t do it. Something told him to wait.

That’s when you turned around. By the way you kept taking pictures, you hadn’t seen him. It wasn’t until you lowered the camera to review the film did you freeze. And you weren’t the only one.

Something in Minseok’s world snapped when he saw your face. His muscles contracted, shivered and ached.

Go! an inner voice urged. He tried to turn his body in the opposite direction of you, but failed. Not that way! He had no choice but to obey. So he stepped closer to you. Your eyes snapped up, meeting his own. In his chest, his heart accelerated. What was this? What was going on?

Slightly fighting each movement, Minseok broke out from the tree line and into the clearing. It was obvious you were frightened. And he was breaking all the rules by revealing himself. Logic could not win, however. He kept walking. Even after you fell backwards, he was only able to pause for a brief second. Your rapidly beating heart was loud in his own sensitive ears. But he wasn’t so sure that it was completely out of fear. He needed to be closer. So closer he went. The whiskers of his muzzle brushed against your cheek, sending a lightning bolt through his body. He took in your scent and reeled back.

You smelled human. You were human. But… there’s something different about you and he couldn’t fathom what it might be.

“I guess you’re not hungry then?” you said oddly.

Minseok laughed. Well, as much as he could with this ribcage and these vocal cords. Overwhelmed, he adjusted to a more comfortable position. The feeling in his chest was almost all consuming and it weighed him down. He’d seen plenty of humans on his runs, but this had never happened before. Was this something that would only happen because he was in his wolf form? Or would he still feel like this if he saw you on two legs?

With a glimmer in your eye, you sighed, “You’re a strange creature.”

Taking that as sign, he tested the waters and pulled himself across the grass with his front paws, closing the gap between you.

A song suddenly cut through the air and forced him to a stop before he could rest his head in your lap - an action that he was itching to try out. You jumped up with a gasp and ran to the bags resting at the bottom of a tree. Frantically, you searched the pockets until you found the source of the noise, answering the call.

“Hello?”

“Hey, where are you?” asked a female voice on the other end.

“I, um,” you glanced over him, making him jump to his feet. Will you tell your friend the truth? “I got bored so I’m just out driving around. Why?”

He almost let out a sigh from relief. Talk of an overly friendly wolf would be bad, especially if it spread through town and more people ventured into the woods to try and encounter him.

“Jiyoung called and asked last second to switch shifts at the coffee shop and so I’m free for the evening. And I’m hungry.”

You laughed. “Alright. Give me twenty minutes to get back to the dorm. How does brick oven pizza sound?”

“Like heaven.”

“Okay, then. See you soon.” You hung up the call and met his eyes again. Impulsively, you took one last picture of him, which he didn’t shy away from. “I’ll be back,” you promised softly.

Minseok could no longer feel the ground beneath him. He just stood there, watching as you ran through the trees in the direction of the road. When his senses came back to him, he noticed a small brown square hidden among the tan grass. He went closer to inspect what the object was. It was a notebook.

It must be yours.

Scooping the leather-bound book in his mouth, he took off after you. Following your scent through the forest was easy – it stood out like a pink flower in a sea of green grass. But he wasn’t quick enough. He caught the sight of your tail lights far down the road. He would have to keep a hold of the notebook until he saw you again. You did say that you would be back.

Or you could track her down?

Minseok shook that thought away. How would he ever explain that without giving away his true nature?

Giving up for the time being, he turned around and decided to head back to the house. There was no way he could find the others now. And with you gone, the elated feeling disappeared, leaving him weighted as if he were being dragged down into the earth. Each step was anchored down. It took him much longer to get back to the farm house.

Several other members were scattered about the house, either working on their studies or clowning around. Your notebook tucked between his clothes and held close to his chest, he headed up to his room. After a quick shower, he got dressed once again and sat on the end of his bed. In his hands, he flipped the notebook over and over. He contemplated opening it. But that would be invading, wouldn’t it? But he wanted to find out about you.

So he pulled open the cover.

Inside, in the top right hand corner of the first page was your name. He smiled, saying it softly over and over. It felt… right on his lips. Your face hovered in his mind. It fit you so well, like a jacket tailored with perfection.

The nature of wolves was an odd kind. There was a constant urge to belong. To belong to a pack and then… to belong to a person.

Ever since he was young, he was told about how someday he find that special person whose soul was connected to his. Fate predetermined who that person would be and no one could ever fill the void that existed until that person came along. Ordinary humans would never experience that kind of feeling, that kind of love. The type of love for the wolf that could only be given by one person.

A mate.

Was that what you were? None of his brothers were mated. They were all free – some taking more advantage of the situation than others. Occasionally, they would joke about who would be first. Some thought it might be Yixing, given his soft heart and the genuine warmth he radiated. Others liked to joke that it would be Baekhyun or Jongin, the big serial daters of the pack. Minseok, though, had his money set on Jongdae. That wolf had barely been able to give in to the call of the pack when he first joined them all. He was verbally against the idea of mating, more so than anyone else. Opening up to people was not a strong suit of the younger wolf and Minseok couldn’t wait to see what kind of journey that would be once he was forced to.

Minseok would have been the last person on everyone’s mind for the mated list. Not for any malicious reasons, just because he didn’t venture out very much beyond school so the odds of meeting someone new were low. Or so he thought. He liked being out at the house, being home. He was the very definition of “homebody”. Ironic that he ended up meeting you out here.

Knock, knock, knock.

He looked up and quickly hid the notebook beneath his pillows, just in time before Junmyeon, the alpha, peaked his head in. “Minseok?”

“Yeah?”

Junmyeon looked back towards the hallway. “Yeah, he’s in here!” he yelled. “Tell Jongdae to stop worrying!”

Minseok laughed. Naturally, they leave him behind but then they get worried. He was the eldest, always looking after the others. And yet, oftentimes, it didn’t feel like that.

Where he thought that might be the end of the checkup, Junmyeon, instead, closed the door behind him and sat down on the bed beside him.

“Everything okay?” he asked.

Minseok nodded. “Yeah, of course. Why?”

“I saw the look on your face when you came in,” Junmyeon explained. “You looked troubled.”

The two of them weren’t the closet out of the whole pack. In fact, there were times where it was awkward between them, the role of the alpha and the role of eldest clashing at times. But other times, he was the best one to turn to.

“What do you know about the mating aspect of us?”

Junmyeon pursed his lips, thinking. “The mating aspect? Only the basics, really. That when you meet that one person, that’s it. And you’re supposed to live happily ever after.” He laughed at the cheesy line, releasing some of the tension.

Minseok couldn’t help but laugh along. It died out soon, though, as his mind went back to his current dilemma. “They always say you just know after one look. Do you think that’s right?”

“Yes, I do,” the alpha confirmed. “That’s all it takes. You feel it in here.” He tapped his chest, right about his heart. “Minseok? Why are you asking about this?”

He weighed his options. If this wasn’t what he thought it was and the others found out, he would never hear the end of it from them. But having someone validate his theory would ease some of the strain.

“I think I found her.”

Fate: The Winx Saga Unedited Ramble

Alright so I finished the first season of Fate: The Winx Saga and it was pretty fucking dreadful if I’m being honest. Let’s get into it.

First, let’s talk about the production quality because it was lacking in some weird areas. The audio mixing was surprisingly bad in a few places. Most notability when characters were talking over the phone. Every time Bloom speaks to her parents over the phone the voices on the other end are so loud. And most of the time when a character is talking to someone over the phone, their voice over comes in a bit softer with a filter to make it sound poorer quality. The audio was crisp and loud. There was one funny scene where Bloom is on the phone with her parents and she’s outside and there’s a bunch of background noise and her parents are in a quiet house. When it cuts to Bloom’s parents with Bloom on the phone you can’t hear the background noise but when you cut to her you can hear the general outdoor sounds in everything. Also whenever pop songs could come they were so loud. I would always have to turn down my volume because they would be louder than the normal speaking voice. Now for the sets. They were fine? I guess. Generic castle. Generic house. Generic forest. Fine. The costumes were uh…really awful. Mostly because you have the cartoon to compare it to where you had fashion designers design the outfits and you could tell, all the girls were so fashionable. A lot of the outfits were crimes. Terra’s and Stella’s were especially god awful.

And now, I guess I’ll go through the episodes and point out the problems as I see them. Episode one, I have a lot to say because the problems of the show become evident very quickly. So, first the dialogue. The original show had lame slang, especially with Musa, but my god some of this shit was painful. The first instance is when Bloom accuses Sky of mansplaining, so first of all it’s really great to see my childhood icon being sexist. Great. I love it. Second, she isn’t even using the term correct because by definition it is a man must explain to a woman a concept that she already knows in a rude way. Bloom states before this that she doesn’t know what a Specialist is so it’s not something she already knows. The only line that got a snort out of me is when Bloom says “Gryffindor. Explains the judgement.” Now the roommate situation. They totally moved Terra and Aisha because they wanted more drama. Terra is a ball of anxiety and wants to be friends with Musa, Musa’s an empath and can’t deal. Bloom is naturally gifted and a bit of an…well the show wants us to think she’s a free spirt and a rebel but she’s an idiot. Aisha is smart but has to work for ever bit of magic she gets. (despite that one line where she saws she flooded her school because of a math test but whatever) Another thing is that they say guns don’t work on the Burned Ones but if swords do then guns do. It’s stupid.

A great theme of this show is that everyone needs to calm down. As someone who’s lived in a suite like with this with four/five other girls, you’re not going to be best friends with your roommates the first day. Calm down Terra. Back to bad lines. Speaking of calming down, Bloom’s mom takes away her door (Sidenote: Whoever wrote “Don’t you feminist with me. This basic bitch’ll break out her bullhorn and her dissertation and take your ass to school.” Needs a good slap) and so Bloom is so enraged by this that she…nearly kills her parents by burning the house down. Fucking brilliant. That is the thing that enrages her. That. Fucking moronic. Also Bloom’s parents are on the floor but there’s a clear pathway that they can just walk through that Bloom walks through. This could have been solved if you had Bloom walk through the flames because fire fairy Speaking of people needing to calm down Terra is just absolutely insufferable. Riven calls her fat and she her response is to choke him and when he calls her out on this she smiles at him saying “nice to see you again” or something. Fuck off Terra. Attempted murder not acceptable when someone insults you.

Alright, now to talk about Stella (and yes, we’re still on Episode 1) while I think Bloom and Flora were done the dirtiest, they massacred my girl. While I don’t think Stella is the most complex character, I discovered while watching this that I really like her in the original. I especially love the episode she gets her Enchantix and the episode she saves her father from Valtore’s spell. Both episodes are so beautiful and her character shines. She’s a bitch in this show. It explains why and I actually do feel bad for this Stella but my god, my Stella would never. Which might as well be the title of this show, Fate: The Winx Would Never Saga.

Few final problems for the first episode: First they call Bloom a changeling and that’s not what changeling’s are and it’s very distracting. Find a different word. Second, Bloom’s house does not look Californian and probably isn’t. Also if Bloom didn’t want to lose Stella’s ring, then she should have worn it on her fucking finger. Now onto episode 2.

So, another problem with this show is Beatrix, while she’s one of the most interesting characters on the show, the fact she barely interacts with the girls is stupid. They should have just put her and Bloom in the same room together. Then Beatrix could interact with all the girls. Problem solved. But no. However, I actually kind of dig Beatrix’s relationship with Riven, I remember liking it in the original as well when it was with Darcy. Maybe I just like evil couples. Oh and magic has changed. So now there’s five elements Water, Earth, Fire, Air, and Mind. And you use emotions. And seeing Stella tell Bloom to think of negative emotions hurts my soul because I remember the episode where the girls go to Cloud Tower in season 2 and STELLA WOULD NEVER. Onto episode 3 and 4.

Okay so it’s revealed that Bloom was born in 2004 so that means these girls are 16, 17 in Stella’s case. To which I say bullshit. Now, onto Queen Luna. I don’t think she had any lines in the original series, however I will say QUEEN LUNA WOULD NEVER. I hate that Stella has a shit relationship with her mom. I hate that Queen Luna is queen of Solaria. I hate that she’s the Queen of Light despite her name being Luna because she should the Queen of the Moon because that’s how it worked in the original but no. It’s dumb and I hate it. Though, I will say that her treatment of Stella did make my heart hurt. New appreciation for this imposter Stella. One other thing is that Beatrix’s story is the most interesting. Aster Del was cool.

Episode 5 is when I realized that there were only 6 episodes of this series instead of 8 so…this is the penultimate episode and where shit gets real bad. I don’t like seeing Musa having sex, I think I was on my phone when Stella was having sex but seeing Musa with her bra just made my childhood weep a little. Also, how the fuck did Musa not know Stella was there? Also, I kind of like the scene were Stella opens up to Musa but I would have liked to see Musa say “I’m an empath, dummy, I know these girls aren’t judging you.” Speaking of stupid, Bloom. While Farah not telling you the truth about stuff was dumb, you breaking Beatrix out is massively moronic. And then the show decides to make my childhood weep again by having Bloom drug Sky. Thanks sho w, seeing this happen to my childhood OTPs is fucking great. And you know what? I try to hate this show but then it has a soldier facetiming Marco saying that the Batallion is dead and that she has a broken leg. Then she starts running away from the Burned Ones while hobbling with her “broken” leg and the camera stays on her. It’s…it’s a special show.

The show briefly mentions magical convergence and don’t fucking dare. And then…the characters brains magically go bye-bye. First Bloom is a ding dong for leaving the drugged Sky face down. Then Terra, Musa, and Stella are absolute ding dongs for giving Bloom back the key to break Beatrix out. At first I thought they were fine with allowing Beatrix to murder Dane and then Stella just fucking pushes her into the trap and it made it worse. You don’t fucking know that won’t kill her, you ding dongs.

Onto the finale. Aisha gets shit for being the only one who isn’t a ding dong. “Hope the brownie points will keep you company when you have no friends.” My soul. Bloom becomes really fucking confusing because she doesn’t trust Farah or the other staff but then she just randomly trusts Rosalind. And then she points this out that it’s weird that Rosalind wants her to trust her. And then Bloom goes to save her friends. Funny moment: Stella loses signal, she clearly needs to switch over to the plan that one soldier had where she could face time in the middle of a fucking forest with perfect quality. Then back to Bloom where she confronts Farah and says “What if Rosalind isn’t crazy? What if she had a reason to lie?” And she’s just…an idiot because she doesn’t see how that logic can be thrown right back at her with Farah.

Terra continues to be an ass to Musa. Like she just demands that Musa take away his pain and I understand the Musa needs to open up and get past her baggage. However, Terra does it in such a bitchy way that I would have probably slapped her. Also the show pretends that Terra was helping Sam when she did nothing but hold his hand while he writhed in pain. Also, also you clearly have sedatives in this world, fucking use them.

So Saul “killed” Andreas which is stupid on two fronts. Number one, Saul says to at least Sky that he died in a battle but no one ever questions which one. You’d think they’d find his body on the battle field. Number two where the fuck did Andreas’ body go? Did Saul not care? Fucking stupid. Also Andreas raised Beatrix. Interesting. A little…Mortal Instruments but I’ll allow it. Cool reveal.

Then…the things. Uh, while I’m glad that this show about fairies actually has fucking wings for one scene and they’re pretty cool looking with the fire and almost scale like. However…there’s no magical costume which is bullshit.

Finally, Farah’s neck is snapped and that just kind of the final blow to my childhood. So…overall. This was pretty shit as both an adaptation and just as a story. There were a lot of plotholes and stupid things.

Escape (3)

| Part 1 | Part 2 |

Series Masterlist

Maria Hill Masterlist

Request: Hi! I always love your writing. Everything is closed in New Zealand for at least another 3 weeks so your writing helps keeps me sane. Could you please do a Maria Hill x reader. Maybe the reader is an assassin that Maria has been trying to bring in for months but reader always manages to escape. The reader catches feelings for Maria during their many encounters and one day helps her save one of the avengers. Maria asks reader “if i asked you to stay, would you?”. Angst but Happy ending please ☺

A/N: I need to plan out series better instead of making it up as I go, and the collage isn’t mine

This was never the life you’d wanted, you never wanted to run from hideout to hideout and find new ones. You knew you would need to find a new hideout in New York, somehow all the trouble in the world ended up here. The footsteps pounded up the stairs and reached the door, you smirked and left a note in front of the vase, gathering your bag and crouching on the windowsill and looking down at the street when Maria kicked open the door, pistol pointed inside.

She walked forwards and read the note, it said ‘I told you I’d put them in water ;)’. Maria couldn’t help the smile which crept up her face, she turned around to see you sitting on the windowsill, the bag held on your left side, your right side dangling out of the window.

“If it means anything to you, I did have a great night.” You winked at Maria and jumped, using the bag to slow you down and rolling when you hit the floor. Smirking up at Maria who looked down at you through the window before you sprinted off towards the SHIELD cars to get your other bag back.

Maria called in backup, she didn’t know you needed her to call backup to get your bag back. You snuck around the front, wearing a mask to look like an ordinary citizen with a bag, only your hair was the same. You’d used a change of clothes, now you wore a simple fav/color t-shirt,

“Miss, have you seen this woman?” One of the agents asked you, showing you two pictures, one of you without makeup, one of you impersonating the agent.

You suppressed a smirk and nodded your head ‘no’ before continuing towards the car. All the agents headed away from the cars, scouring the crowd for you. One agent was guarding the car with your bag, you approached them carefully, pretending to ask for help, you reached into your pocket to pull out a map but you pulled out your taser, quickly knocking them unconscious and putting the agent in the car.

You threw your bag into the car, taking the bag that had been there, putting dirty clothes and things you didn’t need in the bag in the car and taking extra weapons, masks, another suit, a change of clothes, fake ids and an extra credit card in your bag, leaving the unconscious agent in the back with an apology note and made your way away from the scene, looking over your shoulder in case anyone noticed you.

Somehow, none of the agents noticed you leaving with a different backpack, or even noticing the switch. You heard them shouting and reading your apology note out loud and you subtly sped up, lip twitching up in a smirk as you walked away from the scene and towards another hideout.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

This hideout was better located, it was away from the city and security cameras. It was a cabin near New York City, the previous owner had died, you’d bought it from his son, who had wanted nothing to do with the cabin. Using the extra money you had, you had renovated the cabin and gotten new furnishings. This was the hideout you came to when you needed to relax, it was completely off the grid, you could almost call it a home.

You threw your bag on the couch and lay down next to it, pulling out your phone and lifting it to eye level to see a notification from Maria. You smirked tiredly and clicked on it after securing your phone so she couldn’t track you.

‘Why?’ was the only text from her, you sighed and sat up.

‘That’s the only question you have?’ You texted back, switching your phone off immediately after, you got up and went to the refrigerator, there was nothing inside except for a few frozen food items which were probably going to expire soon.

You sighed and closed the door, getting some water from the sink and making your way to the bedroom to get some deserved rest. The cabin was one of your favorite investments, all of the walls were covered in bulletproof glass, it allowed you to get a full view of the forest around you, but you felt safe knowing that nothing less than a missile could break through the glass.

You changed into an old camp sweatshirt and sweatpants you’d left in the closet and flopped down on the comfy bed. You fell asleep quickly, watching birds outside and listening to them sing to each other, feeling more peaceful than you have in months.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Waking up in a familiar place was the best feeling, you knew exactly where you were and how you got here. You smiled to yourself and got off your bed, yawning and scratching your hair as you looked around. Maria stood at the foot of your bed, in a navy, body-con dress with her eyebrow raised and her hands on her hips. Her hair was in a tight bun, one or two strands to frame her face.

Your hand instantly went under the pillow to where you’d left a gun only to find that it wasn’t there anymore. Maria waved the gun in front of her, you looked outside the window, there wasn’t any backup, it was just her.

“Just you?” You asked, your voice still raspy from sleep as you slid off your bed, smoothly retrieving a knife from the side of your mattress and tucking it in the pocket of your sweatpants.

“Just me, you weren’t replying to my texts,” Maria stated, you shrugged and put on some slippers, walking towards Maria who stepped aside and let you go through the door as you put your hair in a messy bun.

“So you decided to pop in?” You joked, then furrowed your brows and turned to face her.

“How the hell did you even find me?” You asked, Maria, smirked and leaned an elbow against the dark granite counter as you walked towards the fridge.

“I put a tracker in the bag you’d left behind,” Maria answered, you looked outside the window from the kitchen, there were no other cars.

“How did you know I’d come for the bag?” You questioned, making a mental note to change the bag and clean all the weapons for trackers.

“Call it a gut feeling, and there isn’t anyone else,” Maria said, you flinched when she noticed, you took out frozen waffles from the fridge and a container of Kirkland maple syrup.

“Waffles?” You offered, Maria raised an eyebrow, you shrugged and put them back in the fridge, making sure the gun in the fridge had the safety off.

“Why are you here?” You demanded after putting the waffles in the microwave and turning to face her.

You put your hands on the counter and leaned closer to her face, looking for any sort of reaction, trying to prevent staring at her blue eyes. You smirked when you saw her glance towards your lips and inhale sharply, leaning away from you before answering.

“To talk,” Maria answered, sitting on one of the barstools across the counter, you tilted your head to the side.

The microwave drew your attention away from her, you took the waffles out of the microwave and poured maple syrup, scouring the fridge for whipped cream then adding that and switching on the coffee pot. You took some silverware from one of the drawers and started eating as Maria stared at how casual you were.

“Talk.” You said, gesturing to her with your knife, the brunette took a deep breath, this was going to be more complicated than she thought, mainly because of you.

“Weapons?” She asked, you looked at her, not amused, she sighed, she knew you weren’t going to discard the knife in your pocket.

“Talk,” You said again, Maria sighed and rested her elbows on the counter, watching you eat breakfast.

“You’re supposed to be the frightened one spilling all your secrets,” Maria muttered, you chuckled while eating, scooping a bit of whipped cream on the fork and shrugging.

“I never really do what I’m ‘supposed to’, now tell me why you’re here and why I should care.” You stated Maria’s eyes widened at how direct you were.

“You said you didn’t want this life, I can get you out of it.” Maria offered, you groaned and put the last bite of waffles in your mouth, eating the last bit of whipped cream and putting your plate and silverware in the dishwasher.

“I doubt that, but tell me how anyway.” You said, you smirked and walked to sit next to Maria on one of the barstools, your knee brushing hers lightly as you turned to face her. Maria subtly clenched her jaw, causing your smirk to grow, this was going to be better than you thought.

Sarcastic StarBharat reviews: Episode 21: In which we directly start off with preaching-1.

Here comes a fresh post in this series, as we move on to episode 21.

Tagging a few mutuals: @chaanv @mayavanavihariniharini @medhasree @ambitiousandcunning @ratnas-musings @milesbianmorales @ratnas-musings @allegoriesinmediasres @hindumyththoughts @pratigyakrishnaki @iamnotthat @adishaktis @justahappyreindeer @hermioneaubreymiachase.

Review under the cut.

This episode does not have a good vibe! It starts off with Krishn preaching, so I skipped the introduction, which is a lecture about telling the truth at an appropriate time. (Is this about the Ms. Melodrama and Mr. Glitterwash thing? Probably)

The episode proper starts with the scene the last episode ended with. Ms. Melodrama is going all angsty about the lack of news, Ms. Always Patnidharma is placating her and the drums start beating exactly then.

Off runs Ms. Melodrama to the Sabha Kaksh, followed by Ms. Always Patnidharma and her maid. Scene switches to the Sabha, where a soldier is entering. He hands a letter to Vidur, just as the ladies enter the Sabha. “It is good news, Rajmata. Maharaj Pandu has won over his enemies,” Vidur says with a smile. The ladies trade happy smiles, while Mr. Drama Queen and Mr. Annoying Poseur clench their fists on their thrones. “I was confident that Pandu would win his first war. He has proved himself a King beyond doubt. Make preparations for a festival in the city. No stone should be left unturned for the welcome.” Ms. Melodrama looks down shyly and wipes off a happy tear. Honestly. Ugh.

“Your happy times have begun, Kunti.” Ms. Always Patnidharma says, taking the other’s hand. Okay, something is definitely going to go wrong, then, since this is what this show calls foreshadowing.

“If the husband moves away on the first day of marriage itself, I can understand the grief a wife goes through.” “I do not have any sadness, Jiji,” she replies. “The King has first right over a throne. I don’t have any issues being in the second place.” Ah. I see. Madri is going to enter, then. Such subtle foreshadowing, really.

“Never say that, Kunti. The wife without her husband’s love undergoes hell.” This is why, ladies. Steer clear of men and enjoy your life. LOL. (Not really, you can live your life as you wish, I just hope you get better husbands/boyfriends than these gits)

“May God grant you first place in your husband’s life. Now, it is time to decorate your chambers again.” Gandhari turns to a servant. “Dasi! Go to the Maharaj’s bedchambers with others and decorate it with the utmost perfection.”

At this moment of happiness, the drums start beating again. “After news of victory, what other news can it be?” asks Satyavati. Vidur takes the letter, looking stressed. “Is it bad news?” asks Bhishm. “No…it’s not bad news.” “What is the news, Mahamantri?” asks Ms. Melodrama (Ah..I foresee a lot of melodrama coming up!)

“The news is that the King has saved Madra from a war. After that, the King of Madra requested him…he must have requested him…” (This is a canon fail. Bhishm brought Madri to Hastina after paying her bride price.) “He must have requested such that the King could not refuse…” Vidur, you’re beating about the bush. Ah, here comes Satyavati. “Vidur, say it clearly.” “Rajmata, the King of Madra has made Maharaj Pandu his son in law.” (That’s what I assume Jamata means, in which case, this is canon fail #45, because as far as I remember, Bhishm had negotiated with Shalya, not his father.) There’s dramatic music for a while, after which Vidur says “Maharaj Pandu is coming here with his second wife.” Everyone looks stressed. Ms. Melodrama has tears in her eyes. (Why is it a big deal? Everyone and their dads had more than one wife back then. I mean, yeah, Kunti would feel bad, but she would not be publicly in tears, would she? I think I’ll make this canon fail #46)

“Please make preparations to welcome Maharaj Pandu and his new wife, Mahamantri.” Kunti says. There’s dramatic music again.

Scene switches to an aarti taal being decorated. Ms. Melodrama has a flashback. “A King has many wives,” says Priyamvada, her old friend. “When Maharaj Pandu marries again, your secret will be your problem, if you tell him.” She opens her fist, takes out the black thread and ties it around her wrist.

Scene switches to Pandu in a chariot, galloping home. Everyone is waiting to welcome him. Madri enters from behind him. Pandu and Madri lock eyes.

Kunti takes the taal from Gandhari and steps forward. Madri is smiling slightly as she ascends the stairs, Pandu at her side. Kunti does the aarti to the tune of ominous BGM. She puts tilak on both their foreheads and sprinkles rice over them, handing the taal to a maid at the end. “I welcome Maharaj Pandu’s new wife to both Hastinapur and the interior of this palace,” she says. Madri and Pandu look at each other, then moving to Dhritrashtra.

Ambalika says to Ambika “I was worried that after Pandu’s second marriage, Kunti would be upset and not welcome Madri, but see, sister, Kunti has welcomed Madri like she’s her blood sister.” “Just like wounds are hidden behind clothes, so are emotions hidden behind words, Ambalika.” “Whatever it is, everything seems auspicious to me.” “You believe in your eyes. I learnt from my son that eyes cannot really be trusted.”

The camera pans to Honey Boy coming in front of Drama Queen. “Pranipaat, Jyeshth,” he says, bending for blessings. “I and Hastinapur are proud of you,” Drama Queen grits out. “I too am proud of my victory,” replies Honey Boy. Drama Queen and Annoying Poseur share a glance, Drama Queen turning away from Honey Boy.

Honey Boy turns to everyone else. “On this occasion of victory, I would like to make an announcement. From my childhood to this day, I have only seen one warrior who has never admitted defeat, who has always fought for his rights, who has crossed all limits and obstacles with his talent…” Cue emotional music. “Every step of the war, I was thinking of him only.” Seriously? Who did the actual fighting, then? “I will always try to become worthy of him, which is the reason I am victorious today, he is the biggest inspiration of my life.” He turns to Drama Queen. “My elder brother, Dhritrashtra.” Wow. I was NOT AT ALL expecting this, were you? So subtle. About as subtle as a hammer to the head. Cue even more emotional music.

“Pandu?” asks Drama Queen. “Yes, elder brother, this victory is not mine, it’s yours. Only yours.” They hug each other.

“See,” goes Annoying Poseur. “This is called flattery.” Bhishm glares at him. Madri and Pandu take everyone’s blessings. Pandu is congratulated by Bhishm and Satyavati. Satyavati asks Pandu to go to a forest retreat as soon as he can, so that he can get rest. “But, Rajmata…” “Pandu. I do not want debate. Your wives have the right to spend time with you. This is my command.” “As you wish, Rajmata.”

Camera focuses on Kunti, who goes to her chambers, breath heaving, outright in tears and tears down the canopy of flowers decorating her bed. She knocks down the other flowers, too. (Should I count this a canon fail? Probably not, but it does go against the characterization of Kunti I have in my head, to be this dramatic.) She turns…and finds Madri looking at her. Cue even more sad music. Kunti wipes at her eyes. “The chambers you share with Maharaj are in another direction, Princess of Madra.” Kunti turns away. “Rambha!” she calls. A servant replies. “Please escort the Princess of Madra to her chambers.” Madri rushes to Kunti’s side and falls at her feet in tears. (Uh…this is seriously VERY soap drama, I can’t…I’m adding one canon fail #46, y’all) Kunti looks down, confused. “What are you doing?” “I am washing your feet with my tears, sister.” (The writer of the review is cringing currently) UH-HUH. NO. NOPE. This is canon fail #47. Please and thank you. Madri and Kunti, as far as I know, had a relationship of equals, perhaps, there was friction between them. “I had heard of Maharaj’s bravery and lost my heart” Wait, what? No! Canon fail #48, guys, Madri and Pandu was not a love marriage in the beginning! No! Honestly, how far will they go to whitewash all the ‘good guys’? “I did not know that Maharaj was married, nor that he had left for war the day of his wedding itself. Please forgive me, jiji. Only during our journey here he told me that I should apologize to you.” (Um. What about the apology HE owes, then? He didn’t even look at her properly after he returned? Why is she the only person who owes an apology?) “I have offended you. But an offence committed by mistake can be forgiven, can it not? Will you not accept the service of your younger sister?” (And…this seems to be a rip-off of the first canonical scene Subhadra has with Draupadi, though that would no way in hell be this melodramatic)

Madri starts crying in earnest. Ms. Melodrama raises her. “You have not offended me. You will get the same respect I do in this Palace.” “I feel at peace with your words. I was thinking of you the entirety of our journey here, if I will need to compete with you to win the Maharaj’s love.” Kunti looks at her. “I was worried I’d lose out.” She takes her hand from Kunti’s. “There will be no competition between us.” Kunti replies. “That, I understood the moment I looked at you. I’m younger and more beautiful than you…” (And I’m being reminded of the whole ‘younger and more beautiful’ prophecy of Cersei’s in ASOIAF) Yeah…

She continues, “It is to your benefit, if we don’t compete. I’ll leave. Maharaj must be waiting for me.” Ah, here come the fangs, the friction. I’m still leaving canon fail #46 in for the sheer cheesiness of the line, because I’m petty that way. Kunti is left staring after her.

Scene switches to Ms. Always Patnidharma worshipping Lord Shiva. “I am feeling very sad for the Maharani Kunti, Princess,” says Sukhda. “I too am sad, Sukhda, but Kings always have more than one wife. When you have to go through sadness and have no choice but to accept it, it is named tradition. But I trust Pandu. He’ll love both his wives equally” Er…I don’t think so? “Injustice is not in his personality, nor his values. Kunti and Madri have left for the forest retreat with Pandu, haven’t they? Kunti and Madri would definitely bond there.” “Yes, Princess. Maharani Kunti’s character is like that, she will definitely adjust.” You mean this show made her a doormat. “And both of the wives will get their husband’s love…” she stops. “Not having your husband’s love is the worst misfortune that can befall you.”

BTW, please suggest a name for this version of Madri.

At that moment, a servant enters. “Pranipaat Jyeshth Rani,” she says. “Kumar Dhritrashtra has called you to his chambers.” “He has called me?” “Yes, Maharani, he has called you.” Camera focuses on Gandhari’s face before fading out.

Precap: Pandu looses an arrow and we can hear a man scream. He runs to see the Maharishi Kidama and his wife. “I curse you that if you cohabit with your wife, you will die!” (This scene, as strange as it is, is actually canon.)

Hi here’s a masterpost of Lillian in the og MCD.

This includes when she appears, what episodes, what she says, etc.

Apologies if any of this seems like rambling/ if it’s slightly messy. Looking at the date on the notepad document this was all originally kept in, the date is that of 7/8/19, so a little over a year ago.

First Appearance:

Episode 90 of S1, "Mask in the Trees"

Time Stamp: 12:40

Lillian is hidden in the trees near where Kiki's baby shower is taking place, she's noticed by Garroth who leaves his stance to quickly follow her. He rushes after her through the trees and out the gates of Phoenix drop, She's fast and loses Garroth quickly- but not before they both run towards the forest and into it, Garroth rounds some trees before finding Aphmau and Laurance kissing, to which he turns back around and runs away, after Garroth has left, it's shown that this is not Aphmau and Laurance, but rather an illusion or shape-shifting illusion that Lillian has created, (It's more likely to have been a shape-shifting illusion as this is shown to be what Lillian is good at- altering her appearance). She laughs after morphing back, before the screen fades to black. Aphmau is left to wonder where Garroth disappeared to.

---

Second Appearance/ not a physical appearance:

Episode 91 of S1, "Respect for Irene"

Time Stamp: 1:15

After the murder of Jeffory, Zane is standing at his window before his communication amulet starts going off, we can only hear whispers coming from it, but it's heavily implied that it's Lillian. We can hear Zane say "She's there with her? Katelyn mentioned nothing of this.. hm.." before more whispers come through the amulet. Zane quickly replies with "No, leave it be. This is much better" some more whispers before Zane picks up with "He would be perfect to fill the new role that just opened up." as the scene ends off with Zane laughing.

In this scene it's pretty implied that Lillian was well using her abilities as a spy to look around Phoenix drop- and in this case, realized that Katelyn was staying there with Aphmau, and docked there, without having told Zane. It can also be assumed that the next whispers are asking if Lillian should do anything about it, before Zane's replying to leave it be- and it being better. It can also be inferred that Lillian is next talking about Garroth and how he ran away- probably feeling betrayed- and that is confirmed as we learn in later episodes. Probably asking if she should do something about it- or maybe bring him back to O'Khasis, with this we hear Zane reply about how he would be perfect to fill the new role that had opened up- in this case becoming the ninth Jury of Nine member after he had killed Jeffory not moments before- which had dropped the Jury down to eight members.

---

Third Appearance

Episode 92 of S1, "Gate of Phoenix Drop"

Time Stamp: 22:15

Lillian is waiting on the inside of the gate, she is in her civilian appearance, she seems to be chatting with Cadenza as Aphmau approaches Brian and talks to him while trying to figure out who Lillian is. Brian lets her inside the gate after he questions her multiple times and checks her travel items. He says that she's a very sweet gal and that she's introduced herself as a fortune teller. Text time babey

Lillian: "Oh! A good day to you! I'm sorry I didn't notice you before, Ms. Cadenza here had been talking the world to me, hehe. Um, my name is Lillian. May I ask your name? Aphmau: "Good day Lillian, my name is Aphmau"

Lillian: "Aphmau, what a lovely--- Aphmau!? You mean the LORD of the village!?"

Aphmau: "How do you know that?"

Lillian: "Cadenza here has been talking so much about you! I'm honored to be in the presence of a woman such as yourself... your endeavors have reached the ears of many villages near and far. //She bows to Aphmau//

Aphmau/Jess rambling a bit: "If you're talking about the thing in Brightport, yeah that was a while ago and I guess I have helped other villages too but, Brian tells me your a fortune teller?

Lillian: "Fortune Teller...? Gah! That sounds so... merchant-y, no, no... I am not a "fortune teller" I am a recognized prophet. I've had visions come to me multiple times of which have come true. You can ask many a Lord, I have predicted famines, drought, love... you name it."

Aphmau: "Wow- I-is that a magicks?"

Lillian: "A kind yes, though it's also not in a way... it's a little difficult to explain. I still don't quite understand it myself but here I am! I'm just traveling the world right now, so... if you don't mind Lord Aphmau, may I please request sanctuary in your village? I'm just passing through and I won't be any trouble at all I swear! In fact I plan to help while I'm here, Cadenza is telling me of someone named Garroth and how he's sick, I happen to be a herb specialist as well- I can help make something to nurse him back to health. So, would you have me...?

Aphmau: "//whispering// after all that's happened here.... //audibly// yes, just try to stay out of trouble Lillian, please."

Lillian: "Yes mam'! I sure will! Thank you, thank you so much!"

//Aphmau then turns to look at Cadenza.//

Cadenza: "Aphmau! I was out picking some herbs to try to make a potion I was reading in a book that might make Garroth better when i saw Brian talking to this lovely woman with this BEAUTIFUL outfit. I just had to come say "Hi" to her and she's such a sweetheart! I've asked her to help with Garroth so hopefully we'll have Garroth back by tomorrow! Thank you so much for allowing her to stay here! I'm so worried about Garroth."

The episode ends off with Cadenza leading Lillian into the guard station, followed by Cookie.

---

Fourth & Fifth Appearance

Episode 93 of S1, "At Our Doors"

Time Stamp: 0:00

The episode starts off with Garroth walking/ sneaking out of his ??"room??" in the guard station (maybe bunk is a better word) to grab some breakfast left outside his door before Lillian comes up the ladder and asks "Garroth?"

Garroth: "Uhh.. who are you?"

Lillian: "My name is Lillian and I'm new in town and I'm a medicine specialist, I'm so sorry for intruding on you like this, but Cadenza isn't here and the herb medicine I made for you is ready. Your friends wanted me to help you get better."

Garroth: "I see.. if you're a friend of Cadenza, you are welcomed, but I really just want to be alone."

Lillian: "So what exactly is wrong with you?"

Garroth: "It's really nothing, I'm not actually sick."

Lillian: "So.. you're pretending?"

Garroth: "No I really don't feel well.. well."

Lillian: "I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."

Garroth: "I'm sorry but.. a broken heart isn't something anyone can help me with.."

Lillian: "Sometimes.. talking about it helps."

//there's a large jump in time to the end of the episode//

Time Stamp: 22:22

We see Lillian leave the guard station before going around to the back of it and pulling out the communication amulet before altering her appearance into her masked appearance.

---

Sixth Appearance

Episode 94 of S1, "The Stranger"

Time Stamp: 16:20

Aphmau has just walked into her house, followed by Laurance, the camera then switches to Garroth and Lillian out on the patio of the guard station, the training dummy behind them. Garroth slowly lowers his head followed by Lillian who looks to him lightly before stepping closer to him. Garroth then turns around to look at her and they share a glance but then Garroth turns around and walks into the guard station.

---

Seventh Appearance

Episode 95 of S1, "Call to Arms"

Time Stamp: 16:20

Aphmau is startled awake by Aaron who is at her bedside, he's snuck into her house and woken her up to have her look outside.

Aphmau: "wh.. what are you doing here."

Aaron: "Shh, not a word... I need you to get out of bed and look out the window. Now."

Aphmau stumbles out of her bed confused but looks out to see Lillian walking down the path to Katelyn's boat, looking around to see if anyone has spotted her.

Aphmau: "Wh.. what? That looks like Lillian.."

Aaron: "She's been avoiding the guards all night and acting suspicious... we should follow her."

Aphmau: "Okay.. we can do that. Let's go."

Aphmau and Aaron are in the next scene sneaking down the hill by the docks and hiding in the trees. We're greeted to a cut scene of Katelyn and Lillian staring each other down.

Aphmau: "I don't understand.. why is she?"

//it cuts to the others//

Lillian: "So... tell me Katelyn... what exactly have you been doing here this whole time?"

Katelyn: "I've been standing my guard just like I was commanded to do."

Lillian: "Hm, you're a woman of great power..."

Katelyn: "My thanks, as to you as well Lillian."

Lillian: "Only difference is... I'm a woman of greater power."

//Lillian then grabs out her scythe and holds it up to Katelyn, part of it resting barely inches from her chest while the actual scythe bit rests almost gently against Katelyn's shoulder//

//Aphmau quietly gasps//

Lillian: "Katelyn... Zane mentioned you failed to report that Nicole was here in Phoenix Drop... tell me why is that...?"

Katelyn: "I did not see her. My job was to check up on the Lord of Phoenix Drop. Nicole would have been a good way to win Zane's favor, so if I knew she was here... why would I pass an opportunity like that up?"

Lillian: "Unflinching as ever Katelyn... you members of the Jury of Nine never fail to impress me."

Katelyn: "We don't need to impress a woman like you."

Lillian: "Fine. ...I'll make sure Zane knows you've been wasting time here. Until then Phoenix Drop is under your patrol, my job here is done."

//there's what sounds like a gunshot/ thunder/ the firing of a canon, etc.//

Katelyn: "Lillian"

//It then cuts to a first person pov of Katelyn staring down Lillian and her scythe before Katelyn moves at an insane speed through Lillian as another sound crackles in the distance//

//part of the stairs and the ground where Katelyn has moved to on the hillside has been completely destroyed//

//The next scene is Katelyn standing with her gauntlents out, back to back with Lillian. Lillian has her Scythe resting in front of her while Katelyn has a leg posed back, almost resting it on Lillian.//

//Lillian looks stunned as her arms are lightly spread and she's looking up, as where Katelyn is slightly looking down.//

//Aphmau gasps, again//

Katelyn: "Next time you threaten me. I won't miss."

Lillian: "Heh, heh, heh... duly noted."

//Lillian then runs up what's left of the stairs while Katelyn runs back to her boat//

//Aphmau is panting//

Aphmau: "I don't think.. we should be letting her.. get.. what do you think?"

Aaron: "We need to apprehend Lillian... let's move!"

Aphmau: "Agreed! Let's go!"

//it fades to black and then back as Aphmau and Aaron sprint the direction that Lillian went, they then split directions to search for her. Aphmau heads to the plaza but you can see the camera shaking as it follows Aphmau's movements as she draws her sword, camera movements similar to a figure catching their breath if it was first person pov.//

//The camera then reveals that it's Lillian watching Aphmau, Lillian is hiding in the part of the Plaza that has the most trees and is blending in with the darkness. She then takes her chance after Aphmau wanders away to book it out of there//

---

Eighth Appearance Episode 100 of S1, "The Amulet's Secret" Time Stamp: 18:48

The scene begins with Garroth handing the amulet over to Zane as Aphmau rushes into the clearing in the trees. Lillian is resting slightly behind Zane as Aphmau panics over Garroth handing it over as Zane begins to chuckle.

Zane: "You're too late, Lord Aphmau. Garroth is now a member of the Jury of Nine, he faithfully serves me."

Aphmau: "WHAT!?"

Laurance: "You obviously have him under some spell! Let him go! Now!"

//Laurance and Garroth clash swords//

Garroth: "Zane does not control my actions, he guides me down the right path, my loyalties lie with him now."

Laurance: "Garroth? You have to be kidding me... what happened to you?"

//Zane laughs//

Zane: "Can't you tell, little Laurance? Garroth has become a faithful member of the Jury of Nine, my devoted guard."

Aphmau: "N- NO! YOU'RE LYING."

Zane: "It was so easy to corrupt my poor poor big brother here, after all, the one thing he cared for in his life was suddenly ripped from him, by someone he considered to be his loyal friend. The one person he loved, and the one person he trusted, having a relationship, right behind his back. How pathetic, big brother, I can't believe you ever loved such a back-stabbing woman in the first place, now Lillian here? She's a woman of great loyalty to me, I'm glad she was there to talk to you when you needed someone Garroth, of course, I sent her to check on my beloved brother."

Garroth: "Lillian was able to talk me out of being foolish and trusting Lord Aphmau with my heart, I know better now."

Zane: "Then show them exactly what you are."

//Garroth morphs into his Jury form before taking down Laurance//

//Aphmau is close to sobbing at this point//

Aphmau: "Garroth, Why?"

Zane: "This is the form members of the Jury of Nine take when they unleash their full potential. Can't you feel the darkness radiating from his heart?"

//Katelyn then morphs into her Jury form as well//

Zane: "Look what we have here, another traitor, Garroth, relinquish her of her Jury title, now."

//Garroth then proceeds to do such,, u know,, how u do//

Zane: "You don't deserve this power. I know you, like Jeffory, are not truly loyal to me."

Laurance: "You won't get away with this you coward! Come here and fight me yourself!"

Zane: "I would love to, I truly would, however, with this amulet in my hands, I don't need to waste my time with the likes of you."

//Cut to Zane warping them all into the Irene Dimension as thunder cracks in the background with u know,, the irene dimension music yeehaw//

//cue everyone freaking out for a fair portion of time which was.. understandable//

Time Stamp: 24:52

Zane: "Finally.. it's mine.. Irene's relic.. with this added to my strength I will-"

//The relic vanishes from in front of Zane only to reappear in front of Aphmau and be absorbed into her.//

Aphmau: "Wh- What the!?"

Zane: "Wh- this- this is impossible! You can't be her! No no no no no! I've worked too hard and killed too many useless pawns for this to happen to me now! That relic will be mine even if I have to rip you appart to get it's power!"

//Zane morphs into his Jury form before laughing//

Zane: "Ripping you apart is something I've wanted to do for for so long! It's a shame you have to die, really. We could've been something special together."

Aphmau: "You know that would never happen."

//Lillian and Garroth then rush down from their spots at the top of the stairs next to Zane, with Garroth charging Laurance and Lillian charging Katelyn. both duos clash weapons//

//Zane jumps down from the top in the middle before continuing//

Zane: "What a shame!"

//He then proceeds to charge Aphmau only to clash swords with Aaron//

Zane: "You.."

Aaron: "You won't get out of here this time."

Zane: "Hahaha.. funny, I was about to say that to you as well."

//Cut to Garroth and Laurance//

Laurance: "Garroth! Why are you doing this!?"

Garroth: "Zane is the only who cares for me like a true brother!"

Laurance: "Are you even listening to yourself right now!? He tried to hurt the people you are sworn to protect!"

Garroth: "How can I protect when my heart gets ripped to shreds by the woman I loved, and the so-called brother I trusted!"

Laurance: "Garroth snap out of it! If this is about Aphmau and love, then why!?"

Garroth: "What do you mean why!? You know DAMN well why!"

Laurance: "Garroth, I understand that you love Aphmau, however, you have to be willing to accept the fact she might not return those feelings, can't you see how corrupt this has made you become?"

//Garroth tsks//

Laurance: "Look at me! You are not defined by the person you love, you are Garroth, protector of the innocent, sworn to love and care for those in need. When did the Garroth I know allow himself to be consumed by one person's love, you cannot be jealous of every man she meets forever. You'll just drive her away from you. You have to let go before you can truly be Garroth, a Garroth worthy to protect others!"

//Garroth removes his helmet as Zane strikes Aaron to the ground//

Zane: "hahahaha what a pathetic fool.. I should've killed you along with your entire village the day the amulet cursed you. Now for you.."

Aphmau: "Ugh.. when I get my hands on you Zane.."

Zane: "Don't worry, I'm losing my fiance remember? You promised your hand to me at the wall. This will hurt you more than it hurts me."

//Zane goes to strike down Aphmau before Garroth interrupts, this scene proceeds how we been knew//

//Zoey appears with the portal as Katelyn whirls around, leaving Lillian's dead body on the floor, closing this entire thing and GOD SHE DID NOT GET ENOUGH STORYLINE AND SCREENTIME WHAT THE HELL//

#aphmau #aphmau lillian #lillian #minecraft diaries #long post #THIS IS A VERY. VERY LONG POST.#hopefully the read more works for mobile too.#otherwise. I'm VERY sorry #anyways. lillian masterpost time #this is from the og mcd so it does NOT include her appearance in rebirth #i'm not gonna tag the others #also I know that last bit is just a play-for-play on what happens in the irene dimension. but.#y'know.. it happened

If Eileen was the protagonist of SH4

When I mentioned the idea in the tags, @cosmic-navel-gazin was right on board with the quality ideas:

Oh god, on making Eileen the playable character... you're onto something, you really are. I forget how it goes exactly but when she's a child she's the one who shows Walter kindness by giving him her doll right? [...] you could expand on their past interactions together, have it more than one, and then have her be the PC traversing his nightmare.

My very broad idea was to have Eileen as the tenant in room 302, and start the game with a cinematic of her getting ready for that party, possibly establishing that she knows Cynthia already, as they live close and are both part of the clubbing scene. But you see it from an almost voyeuristic point of view, implied to be Walter’s. Camera looking in from the window, or a view through a keyhole, and so on. Then switch to her perspective to find the chains across her door. We get a voiceover from Eileen explaining that this happened a few days ago, that she’s tried everything she can think of to get out, but no one even heard her shouting.

The nightmare sequence and so forth go pretty much the same as in canon, but when Eileen meets Cynthia, in the subway world, its established that they’re already friends. Cynthia reasons that this must be a nightmare brought on by stress and that’s why she’s dreaming about Eileen who vanished a few days ago. They try to get out together, get separated, and Cynthia gets fatally attacked. Eileen, unlike Henry, acts like an actual person upon finding her, and holds her friend as she dies, saying the one good line Henry had, and reassuring her it’s just a dream as she tries not to cry for Cynthia’s sake.

I’ll be honest with you, I’m not really sure how to make the forest world sequence make sense from a character perspective, but have Eileen be concerned for Jasper, and Jasper actually hinting about Wish House for giving Eileen a good reason to want to get in. Maybe her being concerned by the rumours of orphans being indoctrinated by the cult?

Water Prison and Building World play out almost exactly the same except Andrew mentions the room next to the kitchen so Eileen has a reason to believe he would be there and be in danger, rather than just going off a note because that’s the puzzle you’ve got to solve to progress. And of course Eileen’s interactions with young Walter are a lot more positive than Henry’s.

The Apartment World is where things get odd because there’s now only 20 sacraments, and Eileen is next on the list. I therefore propose a change where leaving 207 after Richard’s death leads to a twisted version of their apartment block. There aren’t any holes and for this short segment Eileen has to fight to get to her room only with what she has on her and can pick up. Actually, no, she meets Walter on the stairs who offers her back the doll she gave him. There’s a flashback to little Eileen giving late teen/young adult Walter the doll. Eileen worries he’s going to be the next victim and tries to convince him to stay with her. Possibly even have this section as an escort mission with Walter wielding one of the weapons he’ll later use against her. They get the key to room 302 and find little Walter waiting at the door. As Eileen says hello to him, older Walter smiles and takes the keys from her. She heard him say “Thank you, Mother,” before the first blow comes from behind.

The shot cuts away, with Eileen and the small boy screaming. When she wakes, she’s in a hospital bed, but with a second glance it’s clear that this isn’t the real world. Or at least, not the world she’d been born into. Slowly, painfully, she gets up. The player sees a stamina bar for the first time now. She can’t run or wield a heavy weapon for long now. Eileen finds her things on a table in a nearby room, “from Walter x” and feels rage wash over her. He’s toying with her, playing. Well she’s getting out of here, she’s going to stop him.

Eileen goes back through the twisted worlds she has already traversed, haunted by the ghosts of those she couldn’t save. Along the way she learns more and more about the man hunting her down and her soft heart is torn. The adult Walter is an evil madman, that’s certain, but he got there from being a hurt little boy no one cared for. In all his life, she was the only one who ever showed him kindness, of course he chose her to be the mother reborn, of course he wanted her to understand before he completed the sacraments.

But then why attack her? It’s then that she notices that her thoughts don’t always seem to be her own. Eileen can heal herself just as she could before, but that doesn’t undo the shifting red marks on her skin which become larger and more pronounced with every hit the monsters land.

There are four ways it can end. If Eileen dies in the fight, Walter will have a victory of sorts, either the hollow triumph of a canon ending, or, if Eileen took too much damage, with her mutilated ghost playing with young Walter. If Eileen wins, but Walter got too much of a foothold in her mind, it ends with her waling up as if from a nightmare, and on the wall opposite her bed, there’s a mark that looks awfully like a face, just like the one Joseph saw in the opening segment. If she wins outright, it ends with Eileen finally getting out to a party. She’s still limping, but healing physically and emotionally. Just for a moment, she thought she saw Cynthia in the crowd before the lights changed.

#ro rambles about silent hill #i just love eileen a lot you guys #and i firmly believe that she could carry the plot of sh4 a lot better than henry did #i mean i don't hate henry. he doesn't any personality to hate. he's a non-entity #these sh plot rewrites are becoming a habit

Chapter Three: Love For A Gentle Criminal & School Festival!

"Eh?" Midoriya said as Mina's words echoed through his head.

"Well you're not completely fired. But we just need someone with a power-type quirk to carry Aoyama across. It will happen in the middle so you can still dance."

The greenie nodded his head. "If it can make it better then I'm in."

Mina took off her glasses. "Good. It includes you using Full Cowling and a human disco ball."

Midoriya raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "I'm listening.

. . .

Midoriya let out an exhausted breath as some of his classmates plopped on the couch. "We finally nailed practice. We're totally going to kill the festival tomorrow."

"Mina's been overworking me ever since the 'special part' she had in mind for me." Midoriya checked over the equipment, finding a frayed rope. He showed it to the class before setting it down. "I'll go buy a new rope in the morning. It would be - dangerous to use this one."

"Why not ask Yaoyorozu to make one?" Kaminari questioned.

"Yaomomo is asleep right now. She's not some factory."

"Ohhh but you can use me as your personal charger?" Kaminari shot back, making Mina whistle in innocence. He rolled his eyes at her antics turning his attention back to Midoriya. "But the festival starts at 10:00 am. Most stores open at 9:00 am."

"There's actually a hardware store 15 minutes from here that opens at 8:00 am."

"That's cutting it close..."

"Well if Midori-Bro says he'll do it, I believe him! It's the manly thing to do!" Kirishima grinned giving a thumbs up.

Toru yawned stretching her arms. "We should go to bed now. The faster we go to sleep the faster the next day rolls by."

Mina smiled tightening her fist. "Alright then! Let's crush the competition! PLUS...!"

"ULTRA!"

"OI! URUSAI! ( Shut up! ) ! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP YOU BASTARDS!" Bakugou roared from upstairs making the class scattering into their rooms.

The next morning Midoriya awoke early and slipped on his black shirt, green hoodie, and black shorts. When he reached downstairs he quickly made bread with butter and rushed towards the shop, eating along the way.

"I'm glad! They had one left!" The teen grinned walking down the sidewalk holding a plastic bag containing the rope. He looked at his gloved hands smiling. "I have to thank Hatsume again for this. Now all I gotta do- hmph!" Midoriya cut himself off bumping into a man wearing a brown cloak, large hat, and white mask. Next to him was a short lady in similar clothing. "Ah sorry about that!"

"No problem young lad! I'll be on my way now!" The man spoke in a hurried tone turning around.

"That voice..." Midoriya turned his head seeing a caffe. "Oh, this is where Yaoyorozu said she bought Gold Tips Imperial..." He mumbled to himself unknowingly gaining the attention of the man.

"So you know it's greatness then!" He said with a laugh. "At a young age too!"

"Yeah...a friend of mine gave me some a day ago..." He clenched the bag tighter. "It's definitely him."

"...That's a good friend you have." He quickly turned around with the lady. "I-I must go now-"

"I don't think so." Midoriya dropped the bag with his hair shadowing his eyes. "This is the one day I can't allow it. Not after everything it took just have this festival. Not until I make her smile!"

"It couldn't be avoided!" The lady exclaimed taking out her cambra as the both revealed their true identities.

"Izuku Midoriya. Winner of the Sports Festival." Gentle spoke dropping his cloak. "I would have prefered running into a hero. Your determination to win is most definitely scary. La Bavra-"

"-I know!" She said starting the camera.

"Viewsers! Watch as I, the Gentle Criminal try to get into U.A. on the clock!" He exclaimed watching winds pick up around Midoriya, lightning sparked around him as winds picked up.

"Gentle..." The two flinched as the sudden harsh tone from the teen. He looked up causing the two to take a step back. Midoriya's emradle eyes seemed to have a fierce fire dancing inside him. "...I won't let you past me! Full Cowling, 15%!" He jumped forward faster than normal but was held back mid air.

"You had me scared for a second!" Gentle nervously laughed and brought his hands back getting serious. "However..." He thrusted his forward arm sending Midoriya skidding across the street. "...This something I simply can't back down from. So forgive me!" He quickly made floors of elastic trampolines allowing him to jump across the sky.

Midoriya glared running after then jumping onto a roof. Crouching down like All Might, he blasted off into the air closing the distance in between them. "He can't do anything from mid air Gentle!" La Brava continued jumping with Gentle widening the distance once again as Midoriya was losing air time.

"Focus..." He brought his fingers in front of him in a flicking motion."As you move, focus your attention for an instant!" Mina's voice echoed inside his head. "Just like the ball throw...at the last instant..." Just when Midoriya flicked his finger Full Cowling raised to 20% making the power increase more than normal. "Air shot!" Midoriya shouted sending a massive pressure of air, sending Gentle crashing into a construction site.

"Gentle!" La Brava shouted running after her admiration. But Midoriya was faster, much faster.

"This is quite the situation!" Gentle spoke laughing while his coat was stuck into a beam, the rest of his body swaying side to side slowly.

"Enough already!" Midoriya shouted readying Air Force once again. "I can't try a percentage switch like that again. I missed the timing by a nanosecond and yet my finger feels like it's on fire!"

"Like I said before young man, I simply cannot give up." He used his right leg to sweep just above his ankle allowing him bounce and land on a beam. When Midoriya shifted to fire another 'Air Shot' Gentle used his quirk to bounce beam to beam at incredible speeds making it impossible to predict his next move.

"Damnit..."

"You're a hero aren't you?" Gentle asked standing still on a beam until he bounced along with the beam, removing the bolts attaching it. "Listen up young man. I cannot deactivate the effects of my quirk at my own will. So what I'm doing now is quite dangerous..."

Midoriya's eyes widened seeing the man watch the fight scene of what he thought was a film. He rushed forward seeing Gentle jump off just as the beam began to fall forward. Luckily he was able to catch the beam before it fell making the bystander flee in worry of his life. Unfortunately his hands were busy and straining.

"That was dirty!" La Brava said jumping down next to Gentle.

"Yes I know, however I did what was needed to do. Of course I was planning on bouncing the beam right back up if he didn't jump in." He walked over to a crane using his quirk. "Grab on La Brava."

Another growl escaped Midoriya's lips seeing the trouble makers about to escape. "D-Damnit..."

Gentle pulled back on the now elastic cane as La Brava held onto him. "I'm sorry but this is where we part ways Midoriya."

✦✧✦✧✦✧✦

"I'm so nervous!" Kaminari exclaimed holding onto the yellow guitar as Bakugou clenched his fist.

"Why the hell is Deku taking so long!?"

Yaoyorozu sighed crossing her arms. "His last second entries just might become a habit of his. Although I am surprised you're the one who brought it up."

"Whatever!"

"Joking aside, what could possibly be holding Izuku up?"

✦✧✦✧✦✧✦

"Air Shot!" Midoriya yelled getting Gentle to dodge. The beam crashed onto the floor allowing him to catch his breath. When he jumped down he expected to land on the floor but unexpectedly bounced upwards.

He landed facing the crane, recalling the criminal's words, "Listen up young man. I cannot deactivate the effects of my quirk at my own will..." Rushing forward Midoriya pulls back on the cane holding on until it's limits before being sent airborne.

"He's fast!" Gentle exclaimed placed an elastic air shield in front of them.

"Above the tree!" Memory served him right as he used the elastic platform to appear at Gentle's side. When the criminal was able to react fast enough to place another shield he changed targets sending an 'Air Shot' towards the platform successfully bouncing off it and landing a blow on Gentle's stomach.

"Gentle!"

By the time La Brava reached him, Midoriya already got up and held them both down to the ground, hands behind their backs. "I will hand you two to the police as fast as possible."

"I can't let you..." The pink haired woman muttered, catching Midoriya's attention. "Not after everything you've done for me Gentle...you were the only person who accepted me...you even drew on your face in sharpy to imitate my dark circles..."

A pink smoke like substance appeared from Gentle's coat wafting into the air. It became harder and harder for Midoriya to keep him pressed against the floor feeling the criminal's power increase by tenfold.

"Let me show you...my love for a gentle criminal."

An instant later Midoriya is airborne and kicked into a tree, his back crashing hard against the bark. "Sorry, Izuku Midoriya." Gentle spoke chopping the side of the teens neck while carrying La Barva in his other. He turned around to walk away until Midoriya's own power increased.

"I've fought the Nomu at USJ..." His muscles tensed slowly standing back up. "...it's speed and strength was leagues above yours..." A chuckle escaped his lips at the pun followed by a cackle of lightning. "...I lost, but that's another reason why I've been training..." La Barava and Gentle's eyes widen seeing the same fierce fire dance even brighter in Midoriya's eyes. "...So I won't ever be overpowered again! Full Cowling...20%!"

The two stepped back feeling the harsh winds whip around the green-haired teen's form. "Y-You got to be kidding me."

Midoriya ran forward with new found power knocking Gentle back and beginning their hand to hand combat in the air.

"It wasn't....enough...?" La Brava aka Manami Aiba said in shock. Whenever her and Gentle would be outnumbered they would use her quirk, love. Wind pulsed through the forest gaining the attention of a certain hownd hero.

Aiba's quirk was able to be used once a day, depending on how much she loved someone, it would increase their power. When in a crisis like the two are now. The power of her quirk would multiply many times over.

"Gently Sandwich!"

Another pulse of wind followed by lightning crackled in the air. Luckily the school festival had already started and was much louder than the fight just a mile away.

But that was the least of her worries. Aiba tried moving forward to hack into the school but stopped seeing the pro heroes Hound Dog along with 5 clones of Eptomplasium. She turned back and Gentle was locked with Midoriya, fighting to over power the other.

"It's not fair..."

"FULL COWLING..." Midoriya's body creaked in pain and burned but he wouldn't allow his body to limit him this time. "...25%!"

Within that instant, he had completely overpowered Gentle, slamming his power onto the ground with a creator 10 times greater than the criminal's body.

"Let him go..." Aiba whispered dropping hre laptop and running towards Midoriya who held Gentle down the same position as before. Chest pressed against the ground and arms behind his back. And his power back at 15%. "I said let him go!"

Midoriya's attention drifted away from Gentle to the crying woman pounding on his shoulder with tears rolling down her face. "Don't take him away! He was there for me! Go away!" The teens eyes widen at her words. "You don't know anything! You don't know what it means to love someone! Let him go! He's my shoulder to lean on! He's my hero!"

"Her hero...?" His mind subconsciously flashed an image of Yaoyorozu. Then played the memory of when she stopped his training to get him some sleep. Then the night when he told her everything and the promise of when they said they would be there for each other.

"Just let him-"

"Thank you."

The sudden gratitude in his voice shocked the two. Especially remembering the harsh tone he used when they first met. Gentle was suddenly flipped over and his cape was ripped off as Midoriya tied the two together. "I honestly owe you one..."

"I smell something over here!"

"...so this once I'm going to do something probably unheroic." Midoriya powered up to 20% once again carrying the two who were holding each other close. "Detroit..." He ran a few steps thrusting his arm over his head. "Smash!" And with those two words the two were sent flying into the sky until out of human sight. "I aimed for the trampoline first used for his get away. He should land on a roof. The worst possible injury is a scar but nothing more, sorry. And thank you."

"Hey!" Midoriya turned around facing the hound hero. "That was a pretty good throw but you just helped a w-wanted criminal e-escape!" The teen knew the hero was getting frustrated. List H, Type Mutant. When becoming angry or frustrated the hero becomes incapable of speech. At first it's angry stuttering until it's full of growling and barking.

"I'm aware of what I've done. And I'm ready to take punishment for my actions."

Fur covered hands lay on Midoriya's shoulders forcing him to face the beast. "W-We don't have time for that right now! Y-You n-need to go to y-your c-classmates! T-they're waiting for you!"

"Hai! I'll go get the rope I came here for!" Midoriya quickly shouted running off.

"THAT KID IS GOING TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF AFTER THIS!!! RAAAAA!"

. . .

"All of U.A...WILL BE KILLED BY OUR SOUND!" Bakugou roared beginning their song with a bang!

✦✧✦✧✦✧✦

"This sucks." Muttered a green-haired teen surviving his classmates. The end of november was near meaning his punishment was almost over.

"Hey Midoriya! Could you serve us the tea Yaomomo got us? Thank you!" Mina grinning seeing her friend groan but nonetheless did what he was asked.

As you might have guessed, Midoriya's punishment was taken oppun his classmates. After all, he did arrive last second and make everyone worry. So when the teachers asked the rest of Class 1A for his chosen punishment.

"He looks so cute in that butler outfit!" Toru squealed as he replaced the flowers on the table.

Midoriya was wearing a tux similar to the one Sebastian had worn in the manga the girls had been reading. The room temperature was quite warm due to the cold weather outside. Because of that he had taken off the black jacket and tied it around his waist leaving him in his long sleeved undershirt. The shirt itself was quite rather tight along with the fact it was wet and still drying-both of the two being courtesy of Mina-so his stomach area was slightly revealed showing in solid 6 plates of pure muscle.

"No. I look like an idiot. You even messed with my hair" He sighed referring to the front part of his hair begin tied back revealing his forehead.

"You look fine Midoriya. In all honesty, I probably would have attempted to seduce you if you weren't claimed already." Midoriya doubled over almost falling on his way to the kitchen as Yaoyorozu went red faced remembering her 'talk' with Mina last week.

Flashback

"So what I'm hearing is you like Midoriya?" Mina asked with a know-it-all grin causing the onyx eyed beauty to blush and hide her face with her palms slowly nodding her head. "Unexpected. Always thought you two had a lot of common. Innocent, smart, always trying to help someone out, and many more. But I didn't think you'd fall for him after only three days of talking to him."

"S-shut up."

Her grin only got brighter. "So you don't want my help?"

"I do!"

"Good. It's almost the end of November so we got to take advantage of Midoriya's current punishment."

"How...?" Yaoyorozu asked removing her hands from her face.

"There's something I want to test before I'm 100% sure. I don't know for certain but something about Midori has definitely changed."

"Really? What about him?"

"I really hate to be that character but I'm going to have to go with the cliché of saying 'figure it out yourself.'" Yaoyorozu sighed but Mina kept smiling. "Relax. Things seem pretty calm right now. You two have gotten really close over these past few weeks so I think you should ask him out."

"But what if-"

"Atatata. No 'what if's.' You got to remember you're not the only one after him."

"Uraraka..."

Mina nodded her head. "That's right. It's now or never."

"Yeah! I got this!"

Mina's grin returned, pulling out her phone and starting her camera. "Then let's begin our little training camp...." She started her camara "...so who do you want?~"

End Of Flashback

The most embarrassing part was the fact Mina actually got Yaoyorozu to say his name on camera. Along with her other 'lessons.' She snapped out of thought when she heard her name called out. "You sure you don't need anything Momo?"

"First name basis?" Ochako asked in slight surprise. When the festival ended she went to visit her parents and spent time with them. She tried confessing until Aizawa told everyone what happened with Midoriya. Everyone else was familiar with the closeness of the two but she was completely left in the dark. It didn't help that her bubbling feels were still suppressed.

Mina grinned kicking back on the coach. "You can't be that surprised. Yaomomo is the one who helped him out of his reckless behavior. Also Midoriya, what did I say you had to refer us before out names?~"

"M-Master and M-Mistress." His left eye twitched containing his irritation.

"Good. Don't forget it." She laughed relaxing on the coach as the brunette winched watching the two chat.

"Sorry about that Izuku."

"It's fine Mo- Mistress Momo. If you need anything you can just ask. It is my punishment after all."

Yaoyorozu blushed at the title 'Mistress' but also the fact since Midoriya was facing her, she got a full personal view of his abs. Just when she was about to tell him that the title wasn't necessary, Mina's words echoed in her head "It's almost the end of November so we got to take advantage of Midoriya's current punishment."

"So is there anything you need?"

"Not at the moment. But...I think you look pretty hot." It took every ounce of willpower for Yaoyorozu not to stutter in embarrassment. Mina just gave a thumbs up.

Midoriya laughs, scratching his cheek in an attempt to hide his blush. "G-Glad you think so."

"Think I'ma hurl." Bakugou scoffed, getting up from his seat.

"Man I know you jelly~" Kaminari spoke earning an explosion in the face and a laugh from Jiro. He groaned holding his bleeding nose. "Midoriya...I think some badges would be great..."

The greenie laughed. "Right away Master Kaminari."

"Achoo!" Tokoyami sneezed just as he returned from his cup of black tea.

"Oh? Someone might be talking about you. Could be your possible fans." Yaoyorozu said drinking the cup Midoriya had served for her.

"Mistress, you had quite the amount of fans yourself." Midoriya said finally sitting down next to Ochako who enjoyed the company and made herself compatible relaxing on his shoulder. He felt uncomfortable but didn't show or say anything.

Yaoyorozu felt irritated but suppressed it. "Guess so."

"Lock on with these sparkling gazes..."

"We've come to lend a paw and help..."

"Coming out of nowhere..."

"Stingingly cute and catlike..."

"Wild, Wild Pussycats!"

"Pixie-Bob!?" Midoriya shouted instantly getting up and running down the hall.

The blonde purred running after the teen. "I'm 18 at heart!"

"It's good to see you guys!" Toru cheered as the rest of the class ignored what happened with Midoriya. All but two at least.

However the One For All shortly returned along with an upset Pixie-Bob. The heroine marches to the confused Yaoyorozu. "Sorry about that, I didn't know he was your boyfriend."

Mina burst out laughing at Yaoyorozu's beet red face. "I-I'm not his- We're not- I -"

"Why'd you think Midoriya is Yaomomo's boyfriend?" Ochako asked trying to hide the slipping jealiousy in her voice.

"Simple really. Her scent was all over him."

The class turned to the two for an explanation and the two turned equally red. The explanation was definitely the fact the two had started sleeping in each other's rooms two weeks ago. Long embarrassing story short, Yaoyorozu and Midoriya got peaceful sleep together. Even the greenie's nightmares had stopped for the time being. But of course, it wasn't like they were going to publish it for the class to know.

Fortunately the two didn't have to explain when Malandy cut in with Kota. "Hey....sorry about before..."

Midoriya smiled crouching down to his admirer's height. "It's okay. And I appreciate the letter you sent me."

"It was nothing really."

"Is that so?" Malanadally smiled and pointed over to his shoes. Kota bushed as his caretaker explained how he chose the red shoes bringing a smile onto the hero in training's face.

"Thanks Kota!" He beamed, taking off Koda's hat allowing him to ruffle his hair. "So why did you guys come to visit?"

Pixie-Bob stretching out arms and began to 'Jazz hands.'" We're back in business!"

"Congratulations!" Iida shouted chopping his hands.

"Ragdoll?" Midoriya questioned turning to her as his brain replayed the incident of camp. "But I thought your quirk was solten? Did they-"

"-It's not back." Her voice didn't even sound the least bit rejected. "Even without a quirk I'm still going to continue to be a hero. May it be on the field or inside."

Midoriya stood up slightly clenching his fist at his own patheticness. "First Melissa and now Ragdoll. I guess I was just a crybaby after all."

Bakugou frowned knowing the look on the face of his childhood friend. He honestly didn't know if he could call Midoriya an 'childhood friend' with the way he's torchered him for years. "Things between me and the nerd aren't even halfway healed." His eyes landed on Yaoyorozu who was busy watching Midoriya. "For now, I'll leave it to her."

"We also got an update from Tartarus." She pulled out a recording.

"I do feel back about it, truly. When I see an interesting quirk I can't help but take it.

I'd love to return the quirk to it's original host but that would mean using my quirk.

And I very much doubt you would let me do that would you?"

"Sick bastard." Bakugou spat as everyone was thinking in their minds. "But his mind games aren't new. What so di-"

"So instead I'll tell you a story."

This got the room's attention as Kota tugged at Midoriya's shirt to be securely wrapped in embrasse by the teen. The professional heroes were shocked since they had no memory of the villain saying any further, much less recording it.

"Once upon a time there was a boy who wished for power.

He wanted power to save those who could not protect themselves.

But alas the boy was never granted power, instead he was granted seemingly endless pain and humiliation..."

Yaoyorozu saw a look of guilt spread on Bakugou's face along with the tense Midoriya. She didn't have time to think about it when the dangerous villain spoke up again.

"...However the boy still wasn't going to give up. To the point he would ask anyone to help him."

Midoriya's eyes widen, feeling someone terribly wrong inside his chest. This didn't go unnoticed by his classmates.

"One day the boy ran into some trouble with some criminals holding a damsel in distress.

Being who he was, he tried to save the person in distress.

The second he distracted the crimmails the person ran without a second thought leaving the boy alone with the criminals."

"Midoriya?" Mina asked seeing the teen push away Kota and clench at his own chest.

"Just when he thought he was going to die a figure swooped in to save him.

The boy thanked him repeatedly, not noticing the man's insane smile.

Before the boy could thank the man, he spoke.

"Boy, do you wish for power?"

The boy nodded seemingly happy with the question. But he wasn't ready for what was next."

"Midoriya!" The class shouted seeing him go limp.

"Then power you will be granted." The man spoke placing a hand on the boy's head. "It is time for you to aid my successor..."

Lightning erupted inside the room causing everyone to jump back. The lightning was similar to Full Cowling. But inside of it's usual green, it was pitch black.

"Awaken. Project Deku."

A sickening grin spread across the teen's face as the band holding up his hair snapped shadowing his eyes. "It's about damn time..." Everyone stook a step back seeing the now hostile attacker reveal it's blood red eyes. "I was thinking you might have forgotten about me...All For One!"

___________________________________________________________

“So Billy eh, I mean it’s cute but it’s a little common.”

We were driving through a forest, Four in the driving seat with Five in the passenger seat. I was sat in the back in the middle, leaning against the seat with my tinted blue sunglasses on.

Four just scoffed.

“Well we can’t all be like you, miss my names unique.”

Five turned in her seat to smirk at me.

I looked from Five to the rear view mirror to find Four staring at me, I just smiled and raised my eyebrows. “Well I didn’t have a choice in picking it did I?”

“Well Neither did I with mine, sweetheart.”

I leaned forward, putting my hands on his shoulders. I was essentially back hugging his seat.

I leaned into his ear and whispered. “I love when you call me that.”

He peered over his shoulder at me as I sunk back, biting my lip.

He just shifted uncomfortably in his seat, double taking at Five who gave him a shocked but stern look.

“Hey you don’t have to tell me. She’s the one riling me up!” Billy defended.

“Let’s just get this over and done with, no distractions please Zero.” She looked at me pointedly.

“Sure.” I said with a smirk, catching Billy’s eye in the mirror again.

We got to the location about an hour later, parking 30 minutes out as to not cause suspicion.

We kept low in the brush when we finally reached the communications disc on top of Turgistan Mountains.

Guards where just at the top of the base but that wouldn’t be a problem.

“Hey, you afraid?” Five said breathlessly as Four got the wire cutters out of the bag.

He just looked at her with an unreadable expression and cut the chain. She looked to me, I just sighed giving her my best smile.

I managed to hack the cameras getting the screens up while also being in a position where I could keep an eye on the guards. Four had already started his acsent up the big disc.

In and out with no disasters, just how I like it.

On the way back Five decided to get in the back seat while I was packing the gear in the trunk.

Which meant was was sitting shotgun, about 10 minutes into our journey back she’d fallen asleep.

Four coughed shuffling in his seat. “You okay?” He grabbed my hand from my lap with his free hand.

“I’m fine, what about you.” He interlocked our fingers and rested them back on my lap.

“Am good just a little nervous. Listen about us? What are we.”

I stared at him. Why was he doing this now.

“I like you Billy.” I laughed. “Dam I’ve liked you from the first insult you threw at me.” He raised his eyebrows at me. “Crazy I know.”

Now was his turn to chuckle. “But?”

“I think we should finish what we started here first.” I raised our hands so I could lean my chin on them. “We never know how a mission is going to go, we’re nearly there though.”

I kissed his knuckles and he just sadly smiled at me.

“I guess you’re right. But as soon as this is over and we both come out of it alive. Which we will! I’m taking you on the best date you’ve ever been on. And if you’re lucky at the end.” He leaned in to me trying to be all seductive.

“I’ll give you that decking you’ve been asking for.”

I let go of his hand scoffing. “You’re such a cocky little shit.”

He just give me puppy dog eyes, to which I rolled mine and interlocked our hands together again.

“Happy now?”

He just deeply hummed at me and kissed my cheek.

I smiled at him, deciding I too would nap. We had along way to go.

Finally the day of the dead came, I just hope all the preparations where going to be worth it.

“And this is yours.” I looked up from where I was sitting to see Two holding up a very expensive looking green velvet dress.

“Oh shit, it’s gorgeous.”

“Fours going to die when he see’s you.”

“I think everyone will be too focused on the mission to care what’s on my body.” She just shrugged in agreement then left to get changed herself.

I just looked at the dress, sighing before changing and doing a natural but darker makeup.

Our first job was to accompany the same man, one woman on each arm. I stayed quiet while I examined the scene and let Two do the wooing.

He pulled me in by my waist, it took all the strength in me to not show how uncomfortable it was. I just started a conversation about how beautiful the boat was.

Hoping to god the guys would get here fast so we could get this show on the road. Luckily Two was here with me.

Suddenly a load explosion came from across the water, everyone stood shocked while me and Two just looked at each other. A faint smirk came across her features.

Everyone started running in a panic, we just stayed where we were. Calmly we made our way deeper into the boat.

We finally made it into the control room, as Two delt with the guard I started messing with the controls.

“Side doors open.” I mumbled flicking the final switch. God I hope Billy gets on board safely.

“Coms cut, we’re good.” I let out a sigh of relief at his voice coming through my ears.

We climbed back up going to meet the rest of the team, when Two opened the door she was met with a gun in her face curtesy of Seven.

“Bonjour.”

A round of heys and we were back on track.

“Hey Papi, don’t you ladies look nice.” Three came hobbling out of another door, winking at us.

I just stood there awkwardly while One and Three started having a little tiff.

“Children please, god and you have a go at me and Four for starting things.”

“Because that’s awkward.”

“What and this childish bickering isn’t?”

“I hate that she gets sassy and more sarcastic everyday.” Three groaned.

“Yeah I wonder where she learns it from.” One looked between Two and Three.

Two just raised her hands in a ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about’ position.

One stormed away.

I pointed between Two and Three. “Best adopted parents ever.”

We all followed One out.

Following Two again we made our way to the kitchen area, champagne glasses in hand this was where the acting classes would kick in.

Putting on our best drunken ‘am a lost guest’ act, I surveyed the area and found the back door to Rovach’s suite, radioing the information to the others.

I looked around to make sure the space was clear enough before I learnt against the wood, Two was about to take the men down that were surrounding Three and honestly I was excited for the show.

I’d heard and see little bits of how amazingly skilled this woman was, obviously watching now I was kind of wishing her skills were in something a little less violent.

She walked up to me to check I was okay.

“Why don’t I have a gun? I think I need a gun.”

They both just started laughing at me.

“What? What’s so funny?”

“Am not giving you a gun Princess, I know you’re probably fully capable. But! I’m definitely not giving you a firearm until we’ve fully tested you back at base.” Three lectured me.

“So how exactly am I supposed to protect myself?”

Three looked around and found a metal pole from god knows where. “Here, use this.”

I just stared at him, mouth open. “What. Am I the all powerful Rey now?”

“Hey don’t mock Rey! She’s amazing in Star Wars, plus she really knows what she’s doing with that stick.”

I just tilted my head and squinted at The tall dark dumb idiot.

“Enough with the movie references!” Two shouted, dragging Three away.

“Guess it’s just you and me now.” I looked down at the metal pole and prayed for the best.

Root/Caret & Dry Riverbed Symbolism

Okay, this may seem a little random, but it’s something @wdway pointed out to me before the back half of the season began and I just haven’t gotten around to posting it until now. Most of this is just me copying and pasting our conversation because I’m too lazy to restate it in my own words. 😉 We talked about this BEFORE 10x09 (where Connie got lost in the mine) aired.

So, when Daryl and co jump across the dry creek bed to go into the cave in 10x08, we’re seeing a lot of symbolism there.

@wdway: “See the pointing up/ forward shaped root left of Daryl's foot as he's climbing out of the creek bed? This is what's been haunting me. I don't think it's just a root. I think it's a directional symbol. It reminds me of the symbols that Morgan used to carve into things.

Morgan’s carvings usually pointed to the left which I always thought meant go back. This one is pointing up/straight ahead/forward? It bothered me so much I went back and watched this part of the scene several times which led to side tunnels for me.

This is where we see Alpha going into the area that leads to the cave, we do not see her cross the creek bed. We see Carol following, crossing the creek bed and she climbs up on the left side of this root.

Later the rest of the group (except Daryl) cross the creek but we see them from the opposite direction. In other words, we do not see the root with the group. The camera direction changes back, and we watch Daryl's feet as he crossed and climbs up the side and steps to the right side of the root.

If the symbol does means forward, then it might mean that Carol and Daryl will be on opposite sides of the forward symbol going in the same direction but slightly apart which seems to be what their story has been pointing to so far. There was so much emphasis on Carol and Daryl's crossing and such a focus on Daryl's feet that it made me want to go back further and watch to see if anything else stood out to me. I backed up to where Daryl points down a path and says, "Lydia would've taken the river down this stream to our side." They all start moving that way and this is when Carol sees Alpha and starts chasing her. Daryl and the group follow, and it switches back and forth between Alpha Carol and Daryl running. That's when something caught my eye during a snippet of Daryl running.

What you're looking at is a small group of trees, Daryl is on the other side, you can see his arm and a little bit of his crossbow. Do you see what's carved into the tree, I'm not sure what that symbol is or even if it is a symbol, but it is an intentional marking. It made me wonder if it could be a 1, I'm not saying it is, but my mind went to a certain episode where there was a 1 that's always been a bit of a mystery.

This is from Slabtown, when Dr. Edwards gets up and walks over to the painting of Peter's Denial. And of course, I have to point out that the two books that are clearly placed so that you could read the titles. One is Anesthesia (where you are put to sleep/ unconscious). The other is Critical Care (what you would need if you were shot in the head). I don't know if that symbol/mark on the tree is a 1. It's just where my mind went when I saw it.”

@frangipanilove: “I have a theory on the arrows of Morgan that they simply mean back. As in return, but also as in the back of a car, as in trunk (tree trunk/car trunk). But it can of course mean more than one thing. (Check out @frangipanilove’s Tree Trunk Resurrection post HERE.)

@wdway: “And the last strange little thing that I'll mention is going back to the scene where Daryl mentions the river and following a stream. This whole thing reminded me of the creek bed that Sasha was following in the episode Them. The one where we saw frogs and all the X's in the creek bed.

And for some reason it reminded me of Carl giving Maggie the music box so I went and checked that out. I was hoping he said something about the river. He didn't, but he did tell her that he found it while they were searching for water. I thought that was pretty cool, how the writers get that mention of water in, which makes water connected with the music box.

S8e4 Some Guy, where we saw the King, Carol and Jerry trying to cross the creek bed, it had some water in it or polluted water I should say. That's where the king’s tiger was killed. Another super important one I just thought of was the eroded bank area in s2e1 that Rick hid Sofia in. There was some water, but it wasn't overflowing or rushing water. We could clearly see the erosions. That's why Rick thought it was safe to put her into a indention in the creek wall.

I'm back because it just hit me two other incidents about the creek or at least one. Henry hid in a creek, I believe that was in season 8.We didn't actually see him hiding but we were told later about it. Carol, Morgan thought he was dead but he was alive because he said he hid in a creek. The other thing that popped into my head, we do not see her hiding but for five years we saw Beth in the flash running through the forest. Oh, wow! this little creek is suddenly having so much meaning, love it!

@twdmusicboxmystery: “Also Daryl found Sophia’s doll in a river/creek. Just saying.

I really like all this! I might as well tell you guys what I was thinking about in terms of a dry creek bed theory. It turns out, it’s not all that groundbreaking. Just a subset of “Beth = water.” I was thinking that a dry creek bed has no water. So, the dry creek bed we saw in Them simply is there to symbolize that Beth is not there. And she won’t be for the coming arc. That would work in other instances too. For example, last season we saw Daryl in a dry creek bed with Connie. Connie has been a proxy for Beth, but she’s definitely not Beth. Beth is not there. Meanwhile, we’ve had a lot of water symbols associated with Connie and water = Beth.

But then there’s a little caret symbol ^ you pointed out. I hadn’t noticed that in the dry creek bed they jumped over in ep 16 had it until you pointed it out. But it reminded me of another time we saw it created from tree branches and that was when Tara was heading for Oceanside. So, I was thinking that maybe that arrow or caret symbol points toward water. In other words, it points toward Beth. I honestly don’t know why they would have Morgan carving it into trees. The best I could come up with is that back when he was with Eastman, they were often by water.

I was thinking that water could also represent positive mental health. When Morgan was with Eastman, he got to a very good place mentally. But by the time he found Rick again and they were conducting the war in S7/S8, his mental health had already begun to slip. It slipped until he ran away from the group and ended up in Texas. And of course Beth equals water and Beth was all about emotional positivity, right?

So, I went back and looked at the part with Tara and I expected to find the caret pointing toward Oceanside. Actually, it doesn’t. It’s pointing back the way she came, in the opposite direction of Oceanside. Tara is headed toward the community at the time. But then it occurred to me that she just washed up from the sea. So, the arrow is still pointing at the water. And remember, this is the episode where Cindy and Rachel found a bear washed and from the sea as well.

So possibly, the caret symbol in 10×16 that we see Carol and Daryl and the others jump over might be pointing toward Beth. Especially if those spoilers we talked about the other day are true and Connie goes missing [this was before the mine incident] I’m thinking that she’ll end up wherever Beth is and Daryl will go looking for her. Hence, Connie will lead Daryl to Beth as we’ve been theorizing since the beginning of season 10. I’ll admit this isn’t a very fully formed theory but it’s what I’ve been thinking about the last few days.”

[@frangipanilove then asked me if it was really called a Carrot symbol. See, when we were messaging, my phone kept autocorrecting ‘caret’ to ‘carrot.’ It really was just a typo/autocorrect, but kind of an interesting one, given the carrot symbolism, no?]

Me to @frangipanilove: “Lol. Well, it both is and isn’t a typo. It reminds me of a caret symbol (see the pic below) which is used to insert something that’s missing into a sentence, as well as having other, computer-related uses. But my phone keeps autocorrecting to the “carrot” spelling. Lol. I had to type “caret” above 3x and click on it to keep it from autocorrecting.”

But think about that, guys. It may be pointing backward or to water, but it’s also a common symbol used to insert something that isn’t there or is forgotten. As in Beth?

But what I’m seeing here is possibly a cause and effect chain. Carol chasing Alpha into the mine (and bringing everyone else in after her) resulted in Connie being lost. If Connie brings Beth back to Daryl in some way, then this arrow really was pointing toward that.

It also resulted in the war and the current situation in many ways. Because Daryl went looking for another way into the mine (which he only had to do because Carol went in in the first place) he ran into Alpha and got hurt. Subsequently, Lydia helped him and they went back to warn Hilltop. That warning, so they had some time to prepare, is the only reason anyone at Hilltop survived at all, and lived to fight this second battle against Beta.

See what I mean?

I don’t think we’ve seen the end of this chain yet, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out and what it leads to. Just wanted to point it out to everyone.

And now you have some idea of how me and my fellow theorists spend our days hashing things out. It can be very sprawling, but this is how we come to understand what most things in the show mean. Plus, it’s fun! 😁

What do you think?

So I had the weirdest dream in a long time today? and it was so weird purely because of how dark it got near the end even if it didn’t feel that dark? other than that it was actually a pretty normal dream, which is actually probably ANOTHER reason it was so weird because normally my dreams are completely 3rd person fantasy story settings and characters I’d never seen before or just fictional characters and stuff. But yeah, this was a really interesting dream where the entire dream stuck with me hours after waking up so I thought I’d share! Please heed the content warnings, I keep the scene where they happen super vague but it still happens so I want you guys to be aware!

(Content warning: chara death, suicide)

So in this dream, I was friends with Dan and Phil (but also not Dan and Phil? The personalities were pretty different and also they were back to their emo hairstyles) and for whatever reason they went on a trip somewhere with my dad, mom, and I and after this weird borderline romantic walk through an aquarium-like place with strange and wonderful creatures that both do and don't exist (there was a creature that looked like it could be something out of an indie horror game) we were in the airport heading for my home.

For whatever reason we were all like. Changing our clothes to prep for snow I guess? And dad had to spray my rain boots with non-stick spray (weirdest part of a dream I've ever had ngl) but after that he goes to get changed himself or something and then I shoo Dan and Phil off to get changed themselves but then when they come back they aren't in snowy weather clothing? They're just in jeans and long sleeves. And there's like a close friends moment between the three of us while there's subtle romance between Dan and Phil and I go back to our things to make sure we had everything when mom comes back out of the bathroom where she changed.

Dan and Phil are just casually talking with Dan's arm across Phil's shoulder when suddenly this random guy who looks around their age and as brown hair going to his shoulders (he looked a lot like the carnival guy from we're the millers and I hate myself for having to use that movie as a reference) comes up and just???? Gets in their faces??? And you can see the discomfort on Dan and Phil's faces. Even I'm uncomfortable and I’m not even close enough to hear whatever they might be saying. So I call my mom over because I'm also pretty scared of confrontation, but then this dude gets even /more/ in their faces if that's possible and has started to grab Phil's wrist and Dan's getting angry while I'm going "Okay, can't wait for mom" and I run over and try to pry this dude's hands off of my friends while snapping to let them go and mom finally gets here and she yanks me away to take my place.

But something happens that causes it to turn into a fight where the man shoves her away and into a wall, and he straight up punches Dan then for whatever reason basically kidnaps Phil and since I'm the only one left I just start chasing him, occasionally screaming "GIVE ME MY FRIEND BACK/HE'S TAKING MY FRIEND" and hoo boy does it get everyone's attention but no one actually does anything to slow him down apparently because it takes me forever to catch up with him.

(also at this point I'm not me I've like shifted into a dude or a girl with extra poofy hair like 3 times and camera has gone from first person to third in twice as many)

When I finally reach him we're on the first level of this place I guess?? And this level is like this really pretty night time lush forest-y place with this big long spiraling staircase leading to a raised platform with like half the forest-y plants that I think in another dream had been set up for Santa and was a magic hot spot or something. BUT ANYWAY, CURRENT DREAM: Man is there and Phil is sort of phasing in and out of existence because my brain was like "unimportant extra info not needed" but man had been stopped by a coworker of his? And there were still a handful of NPCs around but they were super far off for the most part.

BUT COWORKER STARTS TALKING TO HIM and is trying to get him to let Phil go as I come running up and have a chance to catch my breath but Man get even angrier and like. Pulls out this little bb gun thing or something? It’s super small and shoots these tiny miniscule silver balls that are probably smaller than a pencil’s eraser. But oh man it packs a punch.

So this man basically has Phil in a headlock and he starts threatening me and coworker to leave him alone but we don’t so he tries to shoot me and somehow time slows down and I can dodge it! It almost hits an NPC dude but they’re fine no worries.

But Man still won't let Phil (who at this point doesn't even look like Phil just has similar features) go and I??? Proceed to do the stupidest, bravest thing I will never do and /charge/ at the man when he's looking at his coworker. Man startles and starts shooting and for a few moments my hands do all the blocking and it stings like you catch a fast ball at full speed or something even though they're doing way worse than just bouncing off my hands. Then, uh, stuff happens and ope look at that I'm dead/dying and then man shoots himself and coworker somehow got hit too and I don’t have a single clue what’s happened to Phil because he’s officially been phased out of the dream, BUT AFTER DREAM SHOWS COWORKER HAVING GOTTEN HIT IT FADES TO BLACK AND COMES BACK WITH THE AREA A CRIME SCENE WITH LUCIFER AND CHLOE FROM THE SHOW LUCIFER ON THE CASE AND THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED

Ella explains the wounds I have and the prints on the bb gun (which btw is basically a little extra mini water gun painted all black, my brain was nice enough not to make it scary in most ways possible like even the dying part was like “ow that stin-- wait” and then switched POV before much else could happen) and they don't see the spot where man shot himself because it’s too small, or maybe they do but he made it look like the same killing shot as what got my character. Either way they just know he's dead via head wound and Lucifer basically solves the case then and there with one of his "I don't particularly care about this lets move it along, I'm trying to prove a point it's now been proven" attitudes/quips but Chloe and Dan are like "Yeah, it probably was but we don't have enough evidence to support that, there might still be a killer out there" AND EVEN DREAM ME GROANED IN EXASPERATION AND ANNOYANCE BEFORE I WOKE UP and that was the weirdest dream I’ve had in a while.

#weird dreams #mo's dreams #dreams of mo #idk gonna have to figure out a tag for this xD #can't let the only dream experience I share with you guys be the darkest one #well #dark as in closest to realistic #3yr and 9yr old me each had a terrifying nightmare that were also scary creative #but those were pretty dark too #and since they actually scared me i'd say this one isn't as dark #character death
