Summary: The annual Bridgerton Pall Mall has been somewhat interrupted by the first words of one young Bridgerton. or: How I imagine the final ever scene of Bridgerton taking place.
It was time for the annual Bridgerton Pall Mall game. This year, playing for the Mallet of Death, was Anthony and Kate, Benedict, Colin, Daphne and Simon, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth.
Violet was sitting in the shade, looking out at her fully grown children, squabbling over pall mall sticks. She sighed and shook her head. They were like this as children, Edmund had always encouraged their competitive nature - and this is what it has spiralled into.
She pulls her attention away from her children, looks over to the other side of the Aubrey Hall gardens, and smiles at her grandchildren. She could see Anthony's boys (Edmund and Miles) chasing Colin's son Thomas. Three little girls were using one of the new skipping ropes - Benedict's daughter (Violet), Colin's daughter (Agatha - lovingly nicknamed, Aggie) and Eloise's daughter (Penelope). One of Daphne's daughters - Belinda - was sitting in front of her grandmother, working on her mathematics.
Two pairs of shoes brought the Dowager Viscountess away from her musings, and a pair of little hands wrapped themselves around her legs. Looking down, there was little George Bridgerton - Colin and Penelope's youngest child. "Hello, Georgie," she ran her fingers through his brunette locks - he looked so much like Colin did at his age. The only difference? Georgie Bridgerton has yet to speak a single word. "Where is your mama?"
"Hello, Violet," the voice of Penelope Bridgerton causing Violet to look over at her daughter-in-law with a smile - she had always wished for Colin to marry Penelope (when he found out everyone knew of his feelings before he realised them, he nearly demanded to know why nobody ever told him). Penelope leaned down and pressed a kiss to her mother-in-law's cheek. It was well known Penelope had a better relationship with her in-laws than her own family.
Colin looked away from the game of Pall Mall and spotted his wife talking to his mother, who was currently running her fingers through his son's hair. Penelope looked away from Violet and caught the eye of her husband (much like they always had done in every social situation), a large smile blossomed over Penelope's face as well as Colin's.
She looked away from her husband, a subtle pink blush still rose up her cheeks, even after all these years - he could still make her blush. "Thomas!" Penelope exclaimed, hurrying over to her son who had been accidentally toppled over by Edmund. "Are you alright, darling?" Colin had dropped his pall mall stick and hurried over along with his wife.
Colin was followed by Anthony and Kate to deal with the situation between their sons.
Anthony, Kate and Colin made their way back to the Pall Mall game as Penelope took Thomas up to where Violet was sitting with Belinda and Georgie.
"Are you alright, Thomas?" Violet asked, reaching her fingers out to wipe away one of his tears.
Thomas didn't say anything. Only nodded at his grandmother and manoeuvred himself so he was sitting in the chair with Violet.
Colin kept glancing over at his wife and two of their children. He couldn't imagine just how close he got to losing Penelope to Lord Debling (who went on to marry Cressida Cowper, however, part way into his travels to the North, he and the entire crew perished). If he hadn't admitted his feelings in the carriage, he would have lost her - they wouldn't have their four darling children. Agatha, Thomas, Jane and George.
One of his mother's ladies' maid brought out another chair for Penelope to sit in as she brought Georgie into her lap.
Daphne looked over at her husband, Simon, with a smile then glanced over at Belinda (who was being supervised by her grandmother with her mathematics). "I believe she may ask for advanced mathematics soon," she tells him.
Simon also looked over at their daughter, a smile growing on his face. "I believe so, she is more Bridgerton than she is Basset," Daphne laughed at his words and stepped up to take her turn.
Simon watched his wife, as she swung her red ball through the third wicket. He was extremely grateful to have been able to marry Daphne, rather than any other debutante that year.
Both Gregory and Benedict were worrying over their wives (Lucy and Sophie, respectively) as they were both nearing their suspected due dates. Eloise kept looking down to the other end of the garden, where her husband Phillip Crane (the former husband to the first Lady Crane - Marina) was planting some new flowers for Violet with his daughters Amanda and Georgiana.
Penelope had been talking to Violet, staring out at the garden (making sure her children were alright) when the gentle "mama," made her stop talking. She knew three of her children's voices. The only one she didn't know was...
She looked over at Violet, to make sure she did hear what she thought she heard. Violet also had a look of surprise.
It was Georgie. Her littlest baby finally said his first words.
"Georgie? Was that you?" She asked gently, looking down at him.
Georgie tipped his head, so he was completely resting against Penelope. "Mama," he says again.
Penelope let out a stuttered gasp, then a loud shriek escaped her. Which caught the attention of Colin and Eloise (the former who dropped his pall mall stick and ran over to his wife as quickly as his legs could take him). "Pen!" He called, which prompted Eloise to run over. "What is it? What happened?"
"Georgie spoke," she cried, holding their son to her.
Colin looked from his wife to his mother (who nodded, with tears in her eyes). Belinda pulled at his sleeve from where he was kneeling in front of his wife. "He spoke, Uncle Colin."
Colin let out a stuttered laugh, reaching over to rest his hand on the side of Georgie's head. "Of course he did, my clever boy!" Georgie smiled at his father. "What did he say?"
"Georgie," Violet said, capturing the little boy's attention. "Who has you? Who is this?" She pointed to Penelope.
Tilting his head back up, his face shone with the amount of love he holds for Penelope, even before he spoke, it was well known that Georgie was Mama's boy (as Agatha was Papa's girl). "Mama."
Colin rested his head on Penelope's knee for all of one second. "You clever, clever boy! Yes, mama has you!" Colin pressed a kiss to the top of Georgie's head.
"P-P-" Georgie started, making Colin look down at his son, with wide tearfilled eyes. However, before Georgie was distracted by a passing butterfly.
Penelope giggled and rested her cheek on top of Georgie's. "Give him time, he will say Papa soon."
Georgie looked away from where the butterfly had flown and then looked up at Colin. "P-papa," of course Georgie had to speak and call for both of his parents within the space of five minutes.
Colin exclaimed with joy, pulling Georgie from Penelope's lap and throwing him up into the air (which was followed by Penelope asking him to please be careful with Georgie), and pressed multiple kisses to his son's face. "You clever boy!"

closed starter for @phillipxasleep ! where: jardim dos arrependimentos, baile de máscaras. prompt: you owe me a dinner. a very nice dinner.
❝ Eu te devo a minha vida, cara! ❞ sabia que ele provavelmente estava brincando sobre o jantar num tom leve para acalmá-la, mas ela não estava brincando nem um pouco. Tinha achado extremamente bizarro que a magia daquele lugar conhecesse a sua história de verdade, em Florença, e uma brincadeira de gigantesco mau gosto lhe mostrar o que a sua vida "poderia ter sido" se tivesse tido um pouco a mais de coragem. Era ofensivo, até. Se aquele rapaz não tivesse sido tão prestativo ao lhe puxar para longe da fonte quando a viu se debulhando em lágrimas, ela não sabia quanto tempo teria ficado ali nem como responderia pelas suas ações. Deu uma fungada devido ao choro remanescente, tentando voltar a falar para esquecer a cena que ainda permanecia nítida em sua mente. ❝ Sei lá, depois disso aí eu tô disposta a fazer todos os seus jantares pelo resto da vida. Não desse jeito! ❞ ergueu as palmas das mãos na direção dele, ❝ Você provavelmente é casado e eu nem gosto de homem. Quer dizer... mesmo com essa roupa aí meio trilha, você tem um ar meio... nobre, sabe? ❞ queria bater a própria cabeça numa parede para parar de falar. Agora, o desastre já tinha sido feito, e ela só tinha a torcer para quem quer que estivesse por trás daquela máscara fosse alguém bem humorado e de preferência que não fosse homofóbico. Ainda não tinha entendido muito bem se sequer existia homofobia ali, mas quem sabe?

Ten seconds looking on twitter is enough to blow my mind. Philoise fans really are something else, one of their main arguments for their ship is that Eloise sucks so much that she will never amount to being anything other than a privileged housewife. And these are supposedly her fans.
El, El, I’m so sorry. I want to rescue you from your time period and this bloody fandom.

So once every month during the full moon you're cursed to transform into Markiplier. Every once in a while, you steal some funds, bite random people, and post your best approximation of something called a "youtube video" to the internet.
One night, when you're livestreaming, you perform a bit that involves an accordian and suddenly realize that you're an untapped fountain of unrealized accordian talent.
It's insane. No one can shred it like you on the accordian, and you really just had no idea. You were supposed to be an animator. You went to community college for that, but the whole time, you were actually the world's next accordian based prodigy.
You get noticed by a talent agent that has never heard of Five Nights At Freddy's and your first concert premieres next month at the Doctor Phillips Center.
The night is young, and the crowd is warmed up. Women are passing out from your rizz, and you haven't even thought about Mark for months. Where you once would get drunk alone, wearing a strangers face and talking to yourself for clicks, stands a strong, happy, and passionate accordian professional.
The curtain is about to rise, and the full moon shines through the opera's stained glass skylight as you take a deep breath and start to play.
A pain in your gut. A pain in your gut.
Without warning, your knees collapse from under you, and you can feel your bones stretching against your will. Your face feels like it's filled with ants that can't sit still, and your very DNA shifts like crystal sand in a whirlpool.
Not now. Not now.
You never believed in a God, but it feels like someone theologically important just abandoned you.
Right before your first concert as the Accordian Wizard, you transformed into Markiplier. Theres no time. The curtain rises. The whole world is watching.

Throughout OG FOP, we often see Poof be Wanda's little shadow and her carrying him around all the time. I like to headcanon if there was more effort put into world building, the gender roles for fairy parents would be reversed compared to humans (I don't care for how they gave Cosmo and Wanda such gender cliches in general. The "boy one" is dumb and silly and the "girl one" loves chocolate and nagging). Like for humans (and a lot of other Earth mammals), babies cling to their momas because they're used to her heartbeat and her body is designed to produce nutrients to help the baby grow. So, since fairy babies come from their dads, it makes more sense to me that they would develop the maternal super powers human moms do during pregnancy and for the majority of infancy, their babies want nothing else but to be held by their dadas (because of the unbreakable connection they have from sharing a body and having LARGE amounts of oxytocin bonding them).
I would have loved to see Cosmo be more motherly towards Poof but oh well we have these:
Like, it wouldn't have killed the creators to make being a competent father the ONE thing Cosmo's good at but unfortunately we see him not do so well on that either. Like he was MADE to be nurturing! He gets very emotionally attached to anything like Phillip the girl nickel or in "Sleep over and over," he made friends with an ant, bee and cat and gave them all names and wanted to be friends with them forever.

"Life is for the strong"
A travelling monk, he told me once

But now it's me that can't fly

my mom recently read in a novel that some larger praying mantis species have been known to kill and eat hummingbirds. I know about bird-eating tarantulas, but I was curious if you knew of other insects who prey on birds, mammals, etc.? I know most will scavenge anything, but what abt critters who hunt? the idea of insects who hunt large prey is fascinating to me
large generalist predatory insects like mantises and katydids predominantly eat other insects, but the majority of the vertebrate prey they take is probably frogs and lizards, and typically ones smaller than themselves. hummingbirds might not be too representative of typical vertebrate prey because (I believe I heard a mantis researcher say) their metabolism is so tightly wound that the stress of being caught is enough to kill them, and all the mantis has to do is hang on, which they definitely can do. still, vertebrate predation is pretty impressive for orthopterans and mantodeans, since they’ve got to do it all without venom!
army ants of various types are also famous for their ability to catch vertebrates, but most army ants are actually specialists on other social insects (ants, wasps, termites), and the few generalist predator army ants still predominantly prey on invertebrates (and don’t skeletonize cows and horses like they do in cartoons).
diving beetles will hunt fish and aquatic amphibians—there’s a reason their larvae are called “water tigers!” belostomatid water bugs are probably the most impressive aquatic vertebrate-eaters though, and use powerful venom to subdue surprisingly large fish, tadpoles, and even other vertebrates:
outside of insects, there’s a lot of spiders that can feed on herptiles, either by overpowering them with strength like huntsmen and tarantulas, or by snaring them in webs like widows, the most successful snake eaters:
plus, there’s always the famous Nephila orbweavers whose sturdy webs can catch avian prey, but this is probably a fairly rare occurrence.
going over to centipedes, giant scolopendrids are quite successful predators of vertebrates, with any species large enough likely preying on herptiles, and occasionally on some far larger than they are!
Scolopendra venom is evolved to take down large prey, so it’s no surprise they’re some of the most prolific vertebrate-eaters in the arthropod world. some very large Scolopendra (gigantea, maybe galapagoensis, viridicornis, heros) will hunt bats, sometimes by hanging to catch them in flight. other predation on mammals and birds seems to occur opportunistically, especially where the prey is helpless: S. galapagoensis was recorded feeding on baby rodents in the Galapagos; other island species like Cormocephalus coynei will feed on seabird chicks (enough with the “fluffy” avian favoritism, Nature! ‘pedes gotta eat).
oh, speaking of nestling-devouring, there’s also some freaky observations of slugs munching on soft mushy songbird babies! someone on Twitter had their nest camera record some chicks getting eaten by a large Carabus ground beetle, but I can’t find it again.
but I think the most shocking example of vertebrate predation by an invertebrate is probably Epomis, another ground beetle. as larvae, they feed on frogs far larger than they are by letting themselves get attacked, latching onto the would-be predator, and munching on it until it perishes. adult beetles also prey on amphibians, but just run them down instead of luring prey.
youtube
(there’s also video of the adult beetles preying on frogs, but they seem to all be stolen by some weird content scraper YT channels, so I’ll not post them here.)
let me know if I missed any good examples of vertebrate predation by bugs!

Alguém pediu? Não, mas nós resolvemos fazer uma listinha com algumas ideias para personagens, especialmente naqueles grupos que mais estamos precisando. Não leve em consideração o gênero em que foram escritas, qualquer criatura pode ser ocupada por qualquer gênero. Então se você curtir alguma das ideias abaixo o suficiente para querer desenvolvê-la aqui, pode vir.
ANJO COMUM: Moralidade é uma questão interessante de ser trabalhada com anjos, o que me diz de um que seja um tanto quanto rebelde, enxergando o Arcanjo Miguel como o governante errado para fazer a cidade prosperar. Não entende a necessidade da presença de seres como os demônios e vampiros, julgando Miguel como piedoso demais, demonstrando fraqueza. Seu desejo é ver outro Arcanjo no lugar, será que está disposto a se alinhar com demônios por um objetivo em comum?
Sugestões de FC: Callum Turner, Tati Gabrielle, Theo James, Courtney Eaton, Lucien Laviscount.
Bônus: Traga o nosso arcanjo Rafael.
BANSHEE: Uma banshee mais jovem, sem muita experiência, teve as suas primeiras premonições há pouco tempo. Quando previu uma morte, tentou interpretar o que tinha ouvido para que pudesse fazer alguma coisa, mas quando finalmente juntou as peças, já era tarde demais — a pessoa já havia morrido. Desde então, carrega essa culpa, tentando fazer com que as suas próximas premonições possam ajudar os outros, mas obtendo diferentes níveis de sucesso.
Sugestões de FC: Ruby Cruz, Archie Madekwe, Ella Hunt, Evan Mock, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.
CORTE DA FORTUNA: Uma fae que julga as barganhas feitas com humanos. Eles sempre lhe procuram para conseguir desejos ou mesmo as suas invenções, e essa fae não aparenta ter problema com isso, fazendo um contrato e dizendo o que precisa em troca. Mas depois que o humano concorda, ela começa a lhe explicar porque está negociando errado, não entendendo como os humanos podem ser tão burros. Deixa as pessoas mais confusas do que realmente agradecidas.
Sugestões de FC: Taylor Zakhar Perez, Ella Purnell, Apo Nattawin, Maya Hawke, Drew Starkey.
CORTE DA FORTUNA: A nossa Rainha!! Ou Rei!! Age como se fosse melhor que a Corte dos Gritos porque são tidos como os feéricos do bem, mas a realidade é que as suas maldades são feitas por debaixo dos panos, e até muitos dos seus atos são atribuídos à outra Corte por conta da reputação que criaram. Não tem os interesses da cidade em mente quando age, mas sim os interesses apenas do seu grupo. Se se alinharem com Miguel, bom, se não, paciência.
Sugestões de FC: Laura Harrier, Charles Melton, Sarah Snook, Oscar Isaac, Priscilla Quintana.
CORTE DAS CONCHAS: Que tal uma sereia (ou tritão) que tem uma relação diferente com a água? Sim, não pode sobreviver se ficar muito tempo longe dela, mas teve algum trauma do passado que lhe fez criar medo ou receio de se aventurar em águas mais profundas. Pode ter acontecido algo com a sua família ou consigo mesma, como ter sido capturada para experimentos antes de fugir e ir parar em Arcanum.
Sugestões de FC: Michael Cimino, Maddie Phillips, Jacob Elordi, Jessica Alexander, Derek Luh.
CORTE DAS CONCHAS: Uma sereia que era herdeira de um reino e sempre viveu com a responsabilidade de se preparar para um dia sentar em seu trono. Mas tinha outros sonhos, outras aspirações, e resolveu ter alguns meses de liberdade antes de se prender ao seu título. O problema é que nesse meio tempo, veio parar em Arcanum, e agora não tem mais como voltar, talvez possa até ter assumido o posto de Rainha aqui?? O que nunca quis pra sua vida.
Sugestões de FC: Simone Ashley, Lewis Tan, Anna Sawai, Adam Dimarco, Ayo Edebiri.
COVEN OF THE LUNAR VEIL: Uma bruxa que não sabia das suas habilidades e nem o que realmente era antes de usar os seus poderes acidentalmente e causar um grande estrago. Poderia ter passado anos na companhia de caçadores por conta de parte da família, uma vez que nunca conheceu o lado da mãe. Depois de usar as suas habilidades, foi caçada pela família até chegar no vilarejo e atravessar o véu. Tem descoberto a sua identidade e se juntou ao Lunar Veil, guardando seu passado como caçadora para poucos.
Sugestões de FC: Alycia Debnam-Carey, Archie Renaux, Jaz Sinclair, Keith Powers, Jessie Mei Li.
COVEN OF THE LUNAR VEIL: Uma bruxa que confiou na pessoa errada e teve o seu coração quebrado. Depois disso, criou o seu próprio negócio, seguindo uma linha diferente daquela mais conhecida de "trago seu amor em três dias", para "amaldiçoo aquele que quebrou o seu coração no mesmo dia". Acabou criando muitos inimigos na cidade por conta disso, mas também ganha bastante porque nunca falta serviço.
OCUPADO
COVEN OF THE WHISPERING WOODS: Um bruxo que foi amaldiçoado. Talvez toda vez que tente usar os seus poderes para curar alguém, acabe piorando a situação. Ou então suas poções sempre têm efeitos colaterais negativos, o que é um problema já que tem uma lojinha aonde vende poções. Também pode ser algo relacionado aos seus feitiços, como eles tirarem uma energia imensa de si ou simplesmente só ter magia durante a lua cheia.
Sugestões de FC: Brandon Perea, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Aaron Moten, Zion Moreno, Kento Yamazaki.
COVEN OF THE WHISPERING WOODS: Uma bruxa que chegou na cidade sem as suas memórias, talvez o encantamento tenha vindo dela mesma para esquecer um trauma ou de outro ser mágico que desejava esconder algum segredo. Teve que reconstruir a sua vida, tentando desvendar ao mesmo tempo os enigmas do seu passado. Talvez tenha até alguém na cidade que saiba o que aconteceu com ela, e é um plot que pode lhe ajudar a desenvolver a sua identidade.
Sugestões de FC: Rebecca Ferguson, Jacob Anderson, Katie McGrath, Robert Pattinson, Lola Tung.
LOBISOMEM DA ALDER PACK: Era de um vilarejo próximo do norte da Alemanha, sua primeira lua cheia foi um desastre e acabou se desprendendo das correntes, atacando humanos antes de chegar em Lichendorf, cruzando o véu para Arcanum. Ainda com sangue humano sujando sua boca, foi contido pela Alder Pack e adotado como parte do grupo. Tem um tanto de medo de perder o controle novamente, e por causa disso, encontra dificuldades para se transformar.
Sugestões de FC: Xolo Maridueña, Hailee Steinfeld, Rudy Pankow. Milly Alcock, Finn Wolfhard.
LOBISOMEM DA EICHEN PACK: Um lobisomem que tem um pouco de ressentimento porque queria ser o alfa, e apesar de não ter planos de fazer um desafio pelo posto, tem um pouco de resistência em relação às regras impostas pela alfa do grupo, causando conflitos ao questionar as suas escolhas pelas costas, mas sempre dando pra trás quando é confrontado diretamente. Daquele tipo mesmo que começa as coisas, mas dá o fora quando vê que vai sobrar pra ele.

Time travel Barnes? Part 8
Bucky was still on duty, thankfully. It meant that there’d be less time spent together for the moment. During ‘clean up’, he’d thought deeply on what Alaric had said, that it was a matter of ‘should’ he change the past, than a matter or ‘would’. He was still stumped, still stuck on what he should do. On one hand, if he changed nothing, he’d be with Steve again, trying to rekindle their friendship after everything that happened. Yes, he’d still be the wanted Winter Soldier, but he’d have his best friend back, a man that loved him like a brother and would help him if he just asked, though he didn’t even need to. The help was just given if he recounted the last few days spent before he was sent back in time. He had a few others too, after that battle. Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch… Falcon, even if he wouldn’t admit it. He was a jackass, but their interactions were that of two people reluctantly getting along for one man. James didn’t care, he was gaining more friends through this and even if his life at the moment was terrible, it’d only get better from there. He hoped.
And then, on the other hand… he wouldn’t have to go through what HYDRA forced on him. He wouldn’t kill anyone under their order. He wouldn’t be tortured or brainwashed until he was screaming his throat raw from nightmares and just in general. He wouldn’t be in so much pain and he’d be as happy as he was before HYDRA made their appearance. He wouldn’t be the weapon they wanted and wouldn’t have to cry himself to sleep after so many nightmares of memories coming back after the fall in DC. He could be happy and live with himself, as a Howling Commando. He could get himself a beautiful woman and maybe have a child… He could be Bucky again. He wasn’t sure if that meant that this version of himself would disappear, but he’d be happy again. That was all he wanted, above all else. A nice apartment, a smile, friends, Dugan, Monty, Morita, Gabe, Dernier, hell, even Phillips… and Steve. The weak, little, stubborn, scrawny guy from Brooklyn that wouldn’t back down from a fight. And it was supposed to be during this year that he’d be experimented on with the Super-Serum. He remembered it from the files he was given when Captain Rogers was his mission.
He was glad that Bucky was on duty, because he was afraid that spending more time with the man would sway his decision making. Yes, it was him, or used to be, but from his perspective, he was a man of his own and seeing him as such a down to earth, happy, loving and well loved man… he couldn’t bear the thought of letting him go through what HYDRA had forced him through, just to become the Winter Soldier all over again. It was heartbreaking and he could feel the sting of hate returning, making him think that he should stop Bucky from getting on that train. And from getting caught by HYDRA not long from now.
If he was on the metaphorical fence, he’d be leaning more towards saving his younger self… or ‘younger brother’ in this odd case. He was still mildly surprised that the man believed him so easily, about his story and similarity. He didn’t recall being that gullible, or naive. Which set him slightly on guard now that he thought about it. Bucky believed him too easily. He’d never been that trusting or believing. If it were James, his first step would’ve been…
… He would’ve attempted to get close from curiosity and then found out as much as he could.
“... Fuck,” he whispered quietly to himself. That was exactly what Bucky had done. He was smarter than he gave him credit for. How had he let him get that close? Thinking on it, he was sure that Bucky didn’t actually believe him, his story, his lies. He must’ve known that there was something off about him. And throw in that he saw him actually scare a soldier just by holding his wrist and threatening him. All of this would seem too odd and out of place to anyone.
He was being cautious, playing dumb and naive. He was messing with him and making James believe that he believed every damn word he said.
Things were getting serious. He could probably still pretend to seem oblivious of Bucky in that regard, but he’d have to make a move at some point. He’d have to find out what exactly he knew and/or thought of him. Tonight, he had patrol with Dugan. The first quarter of the night was their walk around. So James could easily skulk and separate them so he can get the information. It wouldn’t do to have the two there and he couldn’t round on him while they were in Hannah and Alaric's house. It would be disrespectful and he’d rather not let them watch or listen to them while he questioned Bucky.
James felt a hand pat his shoulder and he whirled around to face the old man, gesturing him back to the house. They were finished with the cadavers, having helped take them away. It wasn’t completely clear, but a little more work and it’d be fine and like it used to be. He’d help with that too. But as of right now, a bath would be nice, or he could wipe himself down with a wet cloth. As long as he got rid of his sweat, he couldn’t have cared less.
They made their way back to the house, James only having sent a friendly nod towards Bucky as they took their leave. It wasn’t long before they were back inside, the windows open to let in air. It was unsurprisingly warm, making everyone heat up too much. Alaric took the bath and James let him without saying a word. He’d stepped into the kitchen, holding a thick cloth under cold water. Hannah had left it there for him and gave him some privacy before he could take his shirt off, mask as well and he wiped his upper body down, sighing calmly as it dampened his warmth and cooled his down. He’d jump in the bath after Alaric, he just needed a way to take away the heat and that was what the cloth was for.
He lifted it above his head and squeezed, feeling the cold water dripping fast and cooling his skull through the thick hair, and then it streamed down his face. The soldier dropped the cloth in the sink and shook his head lightly, reaching for his shirt that he’d left on the table top. It was then that heard the door knock, Hannahs’ footstep striding through the living room until she was at the door, and then there was muffled talking, to which he listened out for. Bucky was at the door, Dugan too by the sounds of the voices. There were more footsteps and she was standing at the entrance to the kitchen.
“Oh my!-” James’ eyes widened and then he realized he hadn’t put the shirt on. He snapped a finger up to his mouth to shush her and then threw on his shirt at the rushing footsteps.
“What? What’s wrong?” Bucky came around the corner right after James put the shirt on and hid his hand behind his back, the metal one. Dugan was right behind him and they stared into the kitchen at him.
“Nothing, I just surprised her. I was out back,” he replied smoothly, messing with the glove he managed to grab. He slipped it on and relaxed. He was sure that they noticed something was off, but he’d acted casual enough that he’d hoped they were second guessing themselves. “Sorry you had to see that,” thankfully, the other two in the room didn’t speak German, otherwise this would’ve been awkward. “What’d you two need?” he casually stepped passed the slightly stunned woman and led the two into the living room, taking them away from the scene.
He crossed his arms and watched them, the two seeming a little disbelieving of what he’d said. They were scrutinizing him for the moment.
“We’ve got orders. We’re moving at dawn,” to the next town, he’d assume. Dugan had been the one to speak and he took a step towards him. “Are you with us? Or against us?” what? James stared at them with a creased brow, glancing between them. He didn’t say a word, trying to pick his words carefully, but Bucky got there first.
“We asked around, the ones that could speak English told us that a guy with long, dark hair, black clothes, a mask and a silver arm saved them. I don’t know about the silver arm, but you’re the only one that wears a mask with long, dark hair,”
“Bucky,” James snapped his eyes to Dugan, a cold feeling growing in the pit of his stomach as he picked up the picture that the boy made for him. They stared at it, brows furrowing and they glanced up to him, the redhead eyeing his completely covered arm.
Guess they were questioning him right here. There were several interrogations he could think of that would lead to distrust or guarded questions and accusations. This was one. They were trying to find out which side he was on from what the townsfolk told them. And now, they were asking directly.
“Silver arm,” the bigger man turned the picture around slowly, as if to show that they had evidence. James stayed as calm as ever, his heartbeat regular, his breathing never picked up and he didn’t sweat or flinch, his training kicked in automatically. He’d half to lie again, maybe he could add some truths to his words. His actions with the Nazis were a bust, they knew that he’d killed them now and the suspicion was high because of it.
“It’s an advanced prosthesis,” he corrected casually, keeping his arms defensively crossed over his broad, strong chest. The two shared a look for a moment and he just watched as Bucky glanced at him, eyeing him over. He wouldn’t admit that he actually felt a pang of guilt for leading him on and telling him lies only to be stared at with so much distrust. James wouldn’t make the excuse that he’d been protecting him from the truth. He’d been saving his own ass from having to tell them who and what he was. Though, he had technically thought of protecting him by saving him from the train.
“Show us,” Dugan blurted bluntly, his attitude spoilt and demanding. He actually scoffed and shook his head. He wouldn’t show him. Not unless it was by accident, like Alaric and Hannah.
“No,” he replied simply, his posture seeming calm even though his muscles were tensing and clenching under his skin. This was going to go bad. He had the feeling in the back of his mind that this wouldn’t end as well as he’d wanted it to.
“Why not?” Bucky joined in, taking a step closer on the other end of the coffee table. This was the Sergeant coming out in him, a man he remembered somewhere in the back of his mind. He remembered the authority he’d had, the rank, the respect. He remembered having all of that because he was a damn fine soldier. The exact opposite of who he was at the moment. A damn great soldier, but for the bad reasons and he was damaged.
“Because my secrets are my own,” he’d almost bit out, his body tightening further as his brows knitted and dipped down in the centre. He was feeling the taut tension shooting through him and he didn’t like the faint frustration in his tone, the irritation and hate seeping in. He was gradually getting worked up.
“Trust is a big thing between us men here,” which he lacked. He had major trust issues, and he also knew that Dugan hadn’t been lying with that statement. Trust was a majorly huge thing with these soldiers.
“You want to know if I’m on your side, I am, but I’m not telling you anything that has any relation as to how I got this arm or how I could take down a troop of Nazis overnight,” he replied adamantly, his posture becoming tighter and more guarded as they seconds passed. He was getting antsy and too involved in this time, with these men. He needed to get out of there before he really screwed something up.
“Then how can we believe you? Or even trust you?” Bucky asked with some emotion. It wasn’t a flat question like the ones Dugan had been asking, his younger self was actually genuinely putting emotion into his words. He wanted to believe him?
“I don’t care if you believe a word I say or not,” James’ voice softened just a bit, but he still wasn’t calm. He needed to get out of there, needed some time to himself to think and get an idea on what the hell he should do and what he shouldn’t. “I just don’t want to have to tell you everything that physically and mentally scarred me,” he shrugged casually, still trying to calm himself down with them noticing that he was actually flustering on the inside. “I’m on your side, I’ll fight with you, but don’t ask questions about me specifically,” James reached out and carefully plucked the picture from Dugans’ hand, taking a glance at the crayon image before folding it, pocketing it and heading around them towards the door.
“Wait!” he actually reluctantly paused at Bucky’s word, though he didn’t look his way. “Does that mean you’re with us? You’ll come with tomorrow?” he frantically nodded and then headed out the door, closing it behind him and he rushed off, heading straight for the cornfield. Thankfully, there was enough cover there to drop to his knees and take an audible breath, like he hadn’t been breathing since they’d entered the house. He panted roughly, his hand reaching up to cover his mouth to muffle the noise and he dropped his head forward, still panting harshly.
This was too screwed up for him, and it was the Winter Soldier thinking it. It had to be screwed up for him to actually say it.

parece que vi um outsider pela orla da praia! de acordo com as pesquisas, phillip anderson é dono do suncoast surf shop de 32 anos e os residentes costumam o confundir com mike faist. tem fama de ser generoso por seu grupo, mas as más línguas dizem que é orgulhoso. de qualquer forma, não deixe que descubram que pip esconde que ele roubava barcos quando era mais novo e até hoje desfruta desses roubos!
— 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀.
data de nascimento: 1 de setembro de 1992.
sexualidade: bissexual.
mbti: enfp.
alinhamento: chaotic good.
educação: ensino médio completo.
— 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱.
a família anderson tem uma história longa com o mar. seu pai inaugurou a loja com meros vinte e três anos e sua mãe foi a melhor surfista do mundo, se você perguntar para phillip. o pai, ou o filho. pip, como é chamado por todos, cresceu no mar, nadando e surfando no seu tempo livre e até no tempo que não deveria ser livre, seu histórico escolar é a prova viva disso. mesmo com essa vida um pouco caótica e desregrada, pip sempre foi muito inteligente quando queria e sempre soube que um dia ele herdaria a loja e o que seu pai sempre dizia ficava em sua mente: o mundo é dos espertos.
ele nunca quis se envolver no mundo do crime, mas quando se menos espera, você está envolvido em um grande roubo. ou mais de um. ele poderia tentar explicar, como ele fez na época para seus pais, mas não tem muito o que dizer. o tesouro foi descoberto com tanta facilidade que era quase impossível não achar que estava sonhando. o roubo do barco foi a parte fácil, pois não era a primeira vez que haviam feito aquilo. o velho original nem soube o que aconteceu antes de pip e seus amigos sumirem no mapa. eles navegaram até a ilha povoada mais próxima e venderam o barco, que já tinham destruído as evidências de um antigo dono e forjado documentos novos, e compraram um velho para fazerem a viagem de volta. quando pararam no meio do caminho para aproveitar uma praia abandonada, pip viu o tesouro se materializar na sua frente, enquanto ele mergulhava nas águas cristalinas do caribe. uma mala razoavelmente moderna, que não deveria ter nem cem anos, e recheada com joias. joias de verdade. colares de ouro, brincos de diamantes e outras coisas que pip não sabia descrever.
os três amigos dividiram igualmente e voltaram para venetta com a consciência de que não iriam mais roubar barcos. bem, pelo menos phillip. não importava o quanto aquilo valesse, o mínimo que fosse era suficiente para tirar eles da fossa. com os pertences divididos e também o dinheiro do último roubo, pip contou aos pais tudo o que tinha acontecido. do roubo até encontrarem a mala. ele nunca foi tão xingado em sua vida, mas conforme o tempo foi passando e pip seguiu saindo ileso de tudo aquilo, seus pais começaram a perdoar ele. ele terminou o último ano do ensino médio e seguiu trabalhando na loja, de tempos em tempos vendendo um par de brincos antigos "da mãe" ou uma corrente de ouro "do pai", tudo em prol de fazer reformas na loja e aumentar a clientela. o que adiantou. a loja do pai saiu de algo humilde para a melhor loja de artigos de surf da ilha toda. o que pip ganha hoje em dia com as vendas da suncoast vale o dobro ou o triplo do que ele conseguia com os roubos. para ele, a vida que leva hoje pode até ser descrita como minimamente luxuosa. até hoje pip guarda algumas joias daquele momento há mais de dez anos. desde aquele dia, seus amigos sumiram e ele ficou para trás na ilha, mas não podia ser diferente. ele sabe que nunca conseguiria deixar venetta para trás.
