Eldritch Abomination MK Theory

OKAY. @the-punning-ubus

I just want to say reading these tags are SO validating, because I have my little "MK was an eldritch abomination thing pre-hatching from stone" theory and seeing someone else come to pretty much the same conclusion feels good.

I've been meaning to write a proper theory post on this for a while, so now is as good of a time as any!

Obviously we have Wukong's "Not just anyone can wield my staff, but you did" from A Hero is Born and "The staff's just a big 'ol stick bud! It takes someone special to wield it" from 3x03, but there's also something in 1x09 Macaque:

Macaque: "Your staff kinda gives you away dude, not just anyone can wield that thing."

Macaque: "Ohohoh no, can't you hold the magic staff anymore? Well, you know what that means—there really isn't anything special about you. You're just a kid with a heavy stick."

The sweet irony of "There really isn't anything special about you. You're just a kid with a heavy stick!" followed immediately by MK lifting the staff again is not lost on me.

So, from s1 it was pretty obvious that Wukong didn't "give" MK any form of power, but we knew that already with MK being a monkey demon and all. I just think it's particularly intriguing that all of this was laid out in the same episode where MK proclaims "I am the weapon!". In all honestly, he probably was/is.

One of the main questions coming out of s4 is "why was MK created?"—Monkey King's stone was used to form another, but for what purpose? To what end? What reason was MK at the center of all these stories?

Well, here's my current theory:

MK was something in a past life, and that something needed to be contained—and so, to put a stop to past life eldritch abomination MK, he was then sealed away in the stone.

I think this scene in particular raises some alarm bells:

The stone cracks open, bursts with light, and then it closes—like something was put inside it. The scene could of course just be an aesthetic choice, or chosen to be this way for another reason we don't know yet, but it just feels so deliberate. A ball of light appearing from the stone, then another ball of light in the mystery woman's hands being revealed to hold a monkey, and then the stone reforming around the ball of light. I just can't help but feel there's something there.

Next I want to discuss the two key things that make me feel this theory has merit:

1.) MK has made a habit of breaking out of things he shouldn't be able to (the calabash in 1x05, the trigram furnace in 2x00, the scroll in 4x07, Destiny itself in 3x14) and the stone would be no exception.

2.) Every antagonist in this show has been sealed away in some form, then being released to resume their plans from before being sealed. Here's a list:

DBK was sealed under the mountain, and after being released continued his plan of world domination.

Spider Queen was metaphorically trapped in her fallen empire, and after being given the chance to rule the above world once again, immediately takes it.

The Lady Bone Demon was imprisoned in her tomb, and after being released prematurely (before learning the error of her ways), she continued her plan to destroy the world and create a new one.

Azure Lion was imprisoned in the scroll, and upon being released (by an unknown 3rd party), immediately worked to free his friends and then end the Jade Emperor's reign.

Now, I love foils, so MK breaking out of the stone he was sealed in, yet coming out an actually changed being unlike everyone else in this show, would be DELICIOUS:

Lady Bone Demon: ”No backup and no weapon? So, you’re plan is to fist fight a child?” Sun Wukong: “We both know that’s not what you are.”

(3x11 This Imperfect World)

Lady Bone Demon: "STOP! Have you forgotten? Destroy me and you destroy the host! Have you become so desperate to end me that you would sacrifice this blameless innocent child?" Sun Wukong: "You're giving me no choice! All the time you spent locked away, and you haven't changed a bit! I'm going to finish you, like I should have done a long time ago! I told you—you should have stayed buried."

(3x11 This Imperfect World)

Subodhi: "I have not brought you to your master. Although this is the stone from which Sun Wukong once sprung, it appears overtime, it was used to form another. A simple creature, with no past, no family, and no name. There is a reason you were at the center of these stories—a reason you can harness the power of the Monkey King himself!"

(4x06 Show Me the Monster)

(If you want extra fodder for this, please see this parallels post :3)

So, if MK were to hatch out of the stone—where *he* was sealed away—and he actually came out of it a "blameless innocent child" with "no past, no family, and no name", it would work exceedingly well. Wukong's not above giving people second chances, but if you use that second chance to try and destroy the world, you force his hand.

(Side note: it could also be the case that the stone was used to "reset" whatever MK was in his past life, and Wukong was originally meant to destroy whatever came out of the stone—which could be the reason he stayed at Flower Fruit Mountain for hundreds of years. However, when an child came out, a new being without a past or the memories of what it was before—Wukong choose to let it go. He choose to let it live a normal life—or even ensuring it could live a normal life—and it then found it's way to Pigsy. This definitely gets into real crack theory territory, but I did want to bring it up.)

Now, none of this is even mentioning the suspiciously MK shaped figure in the mural from 3x13:

Now, the figure in this mural is only shown when MK is also on screen, which is framing that drives me insane. Perhaps this is when they first caught MK's past life, then finally able to subdue him and seal him in the stone.

And so, if MK really was this terrible chaos driven abomination in his past life, what does that mean ✨thematically✨?

Well,

Sun Wukong: “Point is, mistakes happen, but so long as you leave the world in better shape than you found it, then it’s all good. Right?”

(4x01 Familiar Tales)

SWK: “ENOUGH! I’ve never let anyone dictate my destiny in the past, and I’m not about to start now. None of us are! We can’t change who we were yesterday or in a past life, or a hundred life times ago! We live with the choices we’ve made, for what matter is the choices we make RIGHT NOW! Only we decide who we are and what we do with the power we have.”

(4x07 Pitiful Creatures)

MK can't change who he was in a past life. He can't change that the roads all lead to pain. But you know what he can do? He can try. He can try and get a little bit better every day. He can try and help people. He can try and make the world better than he found it.

Maybe in a past life, MK caused just as must chaos and destruction as Wukong did in his past. Maybe he caused even more problems than he has as the Monkie Kid. But that also doesn't undo the good he's doing now.

Anyways, that's my "MK was an eldritch abomination thing pre-hatching from stone" theory. Hope you enjoyed

The Owl House: Enchanting Grom Fright: Happy Valentine’s Gays

Happy Valentine’s Day owl ladies, gentleman and non-binary folks! It’s time to finish off this holiday in proper style with a LONG overdue review of enchanting Grom Fright and even longer overdue coverage of the Owl House. The Owl House was one of the best debuts of last year if not THE best, only in contention because Close Enough also started last year and looks to surpass regular show in terms of quality. But with stunning animation, tons of representation, and colossal worldbuilding. And given how i’m on record for thinking Star Vs went so far down the tubes they bumped into where Cthulu is sleeping, it’s nice to have another magic based show that seems to be on the right track: carefully building i’ts world, supporting cast and for today’s topic main romance. It also rather than just obliquely hint one character was bi and the other pan, actually goes out of it’s way to have a bisexual protaginst with a gay love intrest. As my good friend @jess-the-vampire has brought up quite a bit, star had plnety of options. .but no willingness to actually campaign for any queer rep, the way Gravity Falls head Alex Hirsch tried to, he still gets credit for trying, and Owl House creator Dana Terrace gets full credit for.

Terrace got her start working on Gravity Falls in line production before working her way up to directing for ducktales, being instrumental in how Webby was animated and how she moves and acts, and being the director for several classic season one episodes including “Woo-Hoo!”, “The Spear of Selene” , “Day of the Only Child!” which was one of my faviorites from season 1 and “The Beagle Birthday Massacre!”. And while I can’t 100% confirm she’s the only part responsible for starting Weblena, given she was director on an episode where a lot of the romantic subtext was in the visuals, she certainly helped so thank you Dana. Thank you a lot. Their adorable. Point is she’s a talented lady and wasn’t satisfied with directing, so she pitched her own show, combining tons of ides and stuff including of all things, Pokemon Red. I checked the article wikipedia had sourced, it was one of her happy childhood memories as it was one of the last things her dad gave her. Awwwwwww. That’s as sweet as it is painful. She’s also currently dating Alex Hirsch, something I was entirely unaware of but find also adorable. Point is i’m glad I looked into her as she’s a very nice person, and very much my kind of weirdo and i’m happy for her sucess and her singuarly weird show that sprung from that sucess.

Now that part of it’s out of the way the episode itself was an uphill battle as you’d expect. As anyone familiar with this blog is aware, but just in case your new, you tend to hear me bitching about Disney’s handling of queer represntation a LOT

For the most part Disney’s pretty bad at it: There was the string of “FIRST GAY CHARACTER IN AN X” they had going for a while.. that consisted of a character I dind’t realize was gay, a kiss I didn’t see, and a talk with a character who I honestly wouldn’t of been looking for had disney not patted themselves on the back with some giant sized hands because htey saved some pym particles for that occasion. Ducktales was unable to have Penumbra come out as gay more clearly because I don’t know Ducks can’t be day.. but they can be IMPLIED to be gay or pansexual as hard as the crew possibly can so they win anyway. Pixar was able to have a gay lead character for one of it’s sparks shorts out and even focused on him coming out of the closet and it’s very good and something I WILL give Pixar credit for... but not Disney Plus who go out of their way to not mention the lead being gay.. despite the fact the short opens with a gay space cat riding a gay space dog out of a rainbow and then it being revaled our lead is in a relationship not long into the short. My point is the idiots who won’t watch this for having gay characters are just going to turn it off, who cares what they think, why are you like this Disney. They need to do better, and be better and i’m getting tired of this shit.

That being said... this episode is a step in the right directoin as despite having to get past one obstructive asshole, not her words but damn if it isn’t the truth, as the rest of hte execs were fine with having a gay character, Terrace fought hard for it and WON, having a clearly gay character, and a clear road to a gay romace as the lead one, all because she wanted some representation in her works. So to honor this, I present this review in honor of love, effort and saying screw you to not having represntation because money. Join me under the cut and allt hat.

We open in the owl house, in the owl house, duck dodge push and shove, it’s how we show our love in the.. you get the point. Luz is learning yet another Rune, this time plant runes.. and already something I love about the series pops up: the fact Luz’s rise in skill is gradual but noticable. Each spell noticably improves in potency with time, going from simple lights to shaping them into simple constructs, and learning to control or time her spells and glpyhs so they launch she she says so, with each one getting more powerful the more she learns. And on top of that osmething I just noticed on rewatch of this episode is her tecnique in finding them evolved, something I dind’t notice the first time because I hadn’t fully caught up and checked this one out to see if Disney would actually let them go through with it.. and they did. Point is her first spell is found by accident, her second by realizing how her magic works fundemntally, both require skilled deduction and on the fly thinking and casting, so she’s already pretty skilled.. but now sh’es ACTIVELY seeking out a new spell here for the first time. She knows how she gets them, she knows each school is tied to a form, and she likely got the plant from williow since that’s her thing and she’s a saint. A demon but also a saint. They can have those too. It’s what I assume relicor is.

I miss that goblin demon bat man. Point is it shows an evolution in Luz’s thinking: while it’s a subtle thing she took a more proactive approach this time even if it took a lot of practice.. and it pay soff as by the time of her next rune, while it’s once again sorta handed to her she has less time to learn it, almost none, and finds it singed onto a ball.. and learns it effortlessly to the point where by the next episode it’s a crucial plot point. IT’s subtle but clever character progression, and stuff I really enjoy, showing our hero going from a bit inept but not helpless or incomptient.. to a force to be reckconed with and far more clever and strategic than yo’ud expect given her sometimes reckless and almost always happy go lucky attitude.

Luz worries teaching King about the internet was a bad idea because he gets excited about a literal cat fight which .. yeah... it was a bad idea but not because of that.. but because next he finds someone saying the earth is flat and she wisely yanks it away. It’s.. very sad that the absolutley maddening and easily debunked flat earth theory is still RELATIVLEY more sane than the stuff we’ve had pop up during the trump era and the cornoavirus pandemic.

But one of the main conlficts of the episode pops up as Luz’s mom messages her and Luz can’t bring herself to tell her anything and just sends a thumbs up. I do think this episode helps even things from the pilot a bit as it was a bit lopsided: While I got that Camillia was genuinely struggling with how to deal with Luz, and was offered an out and had to take it... the fact she sees NO problem with the normalcy camp, which comes off intentioanlly or not a sa parallel to conversion camps or camps to make autistic kids “Normal”. And as someone whose both bisexual and autistic, I naturally relate to luz way more as someone whose intrests sometimes just don’t quite fit with everyone else, and who dosen’t get how bad some of their actions were. THat’s why this episode feels like a necessary course correction: Luz is shown to genuinely love her mama and feel guilty.. but we see camilia genuinlely loves and supports her daughter a bit more. While it was clear from the pilot this shows it more, with her genuinely just wanting to know her daughter’s okay and checking up on her, and giving me the feeling that possible consequences or no if something bad WAS happening or she didn’t hear from her for a long time, she would’ve drove up there to get her. It feels like the writers realized the implications they accidently created and wanted to fix it, though I can’t say for certain. But if so good on you for course correcting, not every show does that.

But King encourages her, telling her she’s doing the right thing by lying and to “trust the demon on your shoulder”. Keep this in mind for later, but that joke is great on it’s own. But soon i’ts time for school and Hooty.. barfs out Luz’s books for her.

I haven’t been this disturbed since.. (Looks at the clock) About 2 maybe three hours ago when I watched a man have, if apparently shorter than the oriiginal cut as I wanted to see everyone else’s reactions dammit, sex with hiis car which was possesed by the mad ghost of his dead wife. Because that’s the kind of stuff i’m into when i’m not reviewing stuff. And before that Tinky.. just everything about tinky.

I do not have enough time to get into TInky here or why he exestially horrifies me. Or why Jeff blim is a living god. I will save that for a proper review if I have the time tomorrow. Point is I saw a lot today and that still tops it. Willow and Gus are likewise grossed out and want to leave.

Cut to school where Luz wonders what’s with all the decorations.. that remind me of this honestly

And frankly given the whole state of the boiling isles it REALLY wouldn’t surprise me if the decorations were indeed well cooked faces. But i’ts Grom time, which means elaborate gromposals (Some Dude asks Skara out with a beating heart and an elaborate medical proposal.. which.. points for effort. And for using an actual heart. Couldn’t get one for mine. ), dancing and someone being chosen for Grom Queen. WHich Willow hints isn’t as nice as that sounds. Before we can get into that though Amity bumps into them and gets into a tizzy before meekly greeting “Luz.. and Co”. which.. not going to lie.. is my faviorite gag of the season. Just htw way she adds them and just the way Willow and Guz both smile widely at it as if to say “That’s us!”. Amity drops a note and snatches it back. This will be important later, you all know why, point is Amity becomes Grom Queen.. and is heavily depressed with Luz following her to find out why. At the gym.. she does indeed ifnd out why: Turns out Grom is not some mutation of an earthname but is based around a horrifying entity lurking beneath the isles, Gromethious the Fear Bringer, who emerges from his slumber once a year and must be fought back and brings out his target’s greatest fears. Just like groundhog day only with less time loops and rodent abuse. Amity is scared of hers, and i’ll obviously get into this more later, and Luz simply suggests asking bump to opt out and Amity appricates the support. Awwww.

Luz heads home and we find out Eda is chaperoning and King is mcing. Eda is also rocking a suit. Just damn girl, damn. But Luz considers taking her place.. and gets laughed at, with Eda assuming she’ll have to save her and King just being kind of a dick. I mean he’s a loveable thoroughly cuddly dick but he’s still a dick... just more like a stuffed plushie of one. So basically exactly like Tinky. Look I mention him more than once in this review he dosen’t put me in the bastard box. It’s a great system. Naturally this makes Luz more determined than ever to prove herself and she finds Amity in the night, with Amity having been unable to get out of it.. and Bumps a resonable guy, he just wants a substitute and no one wants the job.. except Luz who galdly volunteers and insists ntohing scares her before the giant spider on the back of her head proves otherwise. Because of course it does, spiders are fucking terrifying. Kill then all.. except the pokemon ones. Galvaltula are sweethearts. As are Ariadoses. Sweethearts who can elctorcute or poison you but still.

So the next way Luz begins preparing.. and by that I mean it’s time for training. Sadly we don’t get an episode of Luz and Amity getting trapped in an 80′s fashion montage... I mean yes Rise of the TMNT also did that plot the same year, but we had two diffrent plots about someone getting trapped in an eldtrich sitcom and a THIRD this year, all entertaingly unique. Though we do get Luz pulling out an otter suit that’s adorable and she sadly still hasn’t worn yet. “This one says i’m an otter, with a dark side”. She also got thrown out of a school dance for.. wearing an otter suit. Okay the other things we saw in the pilot were understandable but htis is just.. baffling. Who cares what you wear to a dance as long as it isn’t horribly racist of nothing at all.

Damn you flanders and your glorious ass. Point is Amity shows up and threatens hooty’s life because.. he’s hooty. The fact he isn’t dead already is a testiment to how badass he is and how much money he’d cost Eda to replace. Owl Tubes don’t come out of a stygian hole in the unvierse every day you know. That’s only every three years. It’s basic styigan owl tube science.

But Amity wants her to be ready and that she’ll have to face her greatest fear.. and cue hooty popping up, poking amity in the face and asking if she wants to know her greatest fear. Really he can clearly hear everything in the house given he heard that, so he heard the death threat he just chose to ignore it. That.. was a mistake. And by mistake I mean we get a hilarious cut to the outside of the house as Luz tries to stop her love intrest from murdering her second mom’s tube monster. The result is some bandages and an eyepatch. To be fair that last one was just flaring up from a previous beating.

For this solem task of training, Amity has brought in her local disaster bisexuals.. aka her twin siblgins Eldric and Elmyra, whose greatest fears are dying alone and being stuck with Eldric. Both understandable. They conjur luz’s greatest fears which are.. some of the funniest shit I heard all year.. and also very relatable. Human souls in cat bodies, which is genuinely terrifying good job Luz, Jerks on the internet who mansplain things, relatable, and soy milk.

But Amity knows this is just the openign act. it needs to be something deeper.. so while Luz dosen’t realize it’s probably her mom issues she brings up her issues with her other mom: that Eda dosen’t think she can do this. Hence we get a giant eda putting Luz in a babychair. Before we can unpack how wrong that sentence sounded, Eda comes out, and marvels at how hot giant her is. But she’s quickly distracted from sex with a giant version of herself, which is not an easy feat, by the relization “Wait Luz is going to fight grom isn’t she.. fuck i’m going to have to save her”, though Luz holds firm on doing it to prove she’s fine and dosen’t need to be saved constantly. it’s a good conflict. Eda IS right that Luz is not ready for this alone, that she’s overcompensating and that Eda would, in normal circumstances be the one to rescue her. As we’ll see it’s not her who does it but still, were this any other foe she probably would be. But Luz’s motivations are equally understandable: She wants to help her friend not have to do this and she wants to prove she can do it. She just wants her mentor, the only person in her life up to meeting her that GNEUINELY supported her in magic to respect her. To have faith in her and actually see how far she’s come. And given how her own mother writes off her dreams, if not unrealistically, and before this she had no friends or support system to speak of outside her mom, it’s easy to see why this is so improtant to Luz: she just wants to make the one person in her life whose ever support her actually think it was worth it when in truth Eda already thinks it does and just dosen’t want her to die.

She’s just not good with talking to her or not condescending to her as her own ego is stacked sky high, probably because the whole curse thing meant Eda was an outcast by default and the system wants to either chain her to one form of magic and one only or shackle her to them as a hired goon. Her ego, while justified, is also a defense mechanism: a way to shield herself from the fact almost no one cares about her and one of the few people who DOES, dosen’t care what she wants or needs. Once the curse happened she lost just about everything and had to rebuild and thus build up walls around herself and kept everyone else at arms length till Luz changed her for the better. It’s just a tragic clash of two wills both with similar problems but both unwilling to talk about them.

But with time up, our heroes need to get to the diggity dance. So they indeed do and we get some fun sight gags, Willow makes corsages, that one girl with the cresent head somehow ended up with Mathomule and is not happy, as anyone who ends up with him should. And it’s time for Luz to face her destiny.. in a tux with a tutu because of course, and Amity likes it because also of course.

IT’s time to rumble, with King getting nervous due to eda’s prodding about mcing since his co-mc gus is really good at it, and introducing our champion.

No wait sorry he’s still trapped in Mojoworld. no it’s still Luz who shows off a seasons worth of skill by easily dispatching the first few fears and saying to grom let’s finish it.. before grom puts a tentacle on her head.

It’s to downlaod her fear.. which is Camillia. Granted we could all see it coming but still Luz obviously can’t fight her own mother or her own overwhelming guilt.. her mom did hurt her.. but she gets why and just loves her and wants her to be proud but dosen’t know what to do: tell her the trutha nd possibly loose a happy and fufilling life or wait until it all blows up. It’s a painful choice. So luz and king end up running. King runs first because he can’t handle it and Gus talks him back into the groove while Luz runs away because she can’t fight her own mom, understandable, and Gus encourages king to lead the crowd which he does. Amity and Eda follow Luz.

So Luz is backed down, facing down a monster tha’ts going to go on to everyone else next if she fails... and Eda prepares to interfere.. but it’s AMITY who faces her fear and dives in. And we find out just what her fear was as grom turns into a humanoid shape and rips the letter in half.. it was a grom invitation. Though conviently the who it’s adressed to was ripped out.

And yeah not going to save this one: It’s Luz. You know it I know it I didn’t even hide it in the intro. Even before the reveal in a bit it was obvious. But it also makes perfect sense. I’ve avoided talking about her character arc up to this point because I was waiting for now. Amity’s growth is the third major arc of the season behind Luz’s slow learning of magic and eventually induction into hexside and eda’s curse, which I lump in with Lilith chasing her since both were mildly entertwined and then entirely are once the reveal hits in the finale. When we meet her she’s an outright bully.. but we slowly see there’s more there. That she’s not really HAPPY or content, is contstantly under pressure by her family name, is outright bullied by her own siblings who don’t understand her. So Luz coming in, seemingly only being intrested in magic because i’ts neat.. understandably bothers her. She’s not a great person, bullying her old best friend because tha’ts what’s expected and being close with outright bullies because of that.. but it’s through Luz she starts to grow, realizing Luz is genuinely nice and genuinely sorry for any trouble she caused Amity, and evne then both cases were causaed by Amity’s own dickishness and outside forces, so it’s easy to see why she defrosts faster. Her siblings realize they’ve genuinely hurt her, and actually try to be good siblings from then on and help her, and slowly Amity learns to truth luz, trust in her, and accept her... and thus accept her feelings for her. There are gradual hints she’s growing attracted to her.. but her walls had to come down first, and it wouldn’t of worked from the outset. The show cleverly has the two build a genuine friendship, two opposities who work well together, so when feelings do happen it feels natural. It’s not “I’m in love with this person because I have to because you can’t be friends with someone your attracted to” bullshit or anything like that, cough star vs cough, it’s just well built catching feelings. I’ts how this kind of thing SHOULD go: niether went in intending for this to happen.. it’s just happening.

And Amity’s reluctance is painfully understandable, as Luz is the ONLY friend and support she has. Sure she and willow are patching things up, but WIllow would understandably choose luz over her and she’s terrified of loosing the one good thing in her life. Of course Luz would either say yes, and probably will some day, or let her down gently, she’s nice.. but it’s also understandable to be afraid that someone won’t take the reveal well. I’ve been there trust me, it’s easier when you let it out even if you get rejected, but I get it being hard to let out because you don’t want to loose a friend. I did not, and niether would she, but I can see why she wouldn’t want ot take the plunge. At least not yet. We’ll see this summer hopefully.

But we do get a shiptastic, gorgeously aniamted scene of the two dancing an fightin gin perfect synch, combinging luz’s new use of plant magic with amity’s mastery of abominations resulting in the two utterly decimating grom, likely in part because with two fast moving targets he can’t get a lock on and likely nees more fear and mass to attack multiple targets at once. Or just more tendrils. it’s a quick, beautful sequence that’s utterly glorious, being framed as romantic as any hetero scene of the type and rightfully so. A triumph and well deserving of this praise.

Our heros have won, get crowns, and King gets praise. All is well.. except Luz drops the crown once she gets home because she feels like she failed and feels lost about her mom.. though at least king gets it “I’m king and queen, best of both things!”. You tell em sister.

So we end with Luz genuinely responding to her mom, with some montage stuff as we see Gus and Willow poke a fear blob, willow fears bugs, understandable and Gus fears clowns...

Also understandable. Though I didn’t put up a bug picture because

And Amity looks out folornly into the night. Camilla responds to Luz.. and mentions letters.. which while Luz brushes those off.. we see someone sent them. And by someone I probably mean king since we now know only eda and him had acess to the portal, and given he was actively encouraging her to lie.. yeah i’m supscious. But we’ll see next season. For now this episode is fan fucking tastic, showing off tons of character development, being representative and sweet as all hell.. and being really funny. Tons of great gags in this one including the turtle guy from an earlier episode being forced to be adisco ball. This is easily the series best so far and if you haven’t checked it out, please do it’s fantastic as is this show. Check both out. Until the next rainbow i’ts been a pleasure. Tommorow more disney shenanigans this time with pete. And also more of this possibly we’ll see what I get done.

Goodnight everybody!

#the owl house #lumity #luz noceda #amity blight #willow park #gus #eda clawthrone #king #principal bump #grometheious #enchanting grom fright #lbgtq+#disney #disney plus

"He would never dare to touch me if that is what worries you. I would have his head before he do so." And Myrcella is aware her beauty, even scarred after Dorne, still remains a light among Westeros, and with the years, she holds her mother's beauty without the sternness, making her more appealing to men. Nevermind she is now a married woman and despite using the Baratheon name, she is too Targaryen now because of him. "He has never enter my room when you are not around, if that is what worries you." The princess points out, a smile gracing upon her lips, not that she would let him anyways. But the jealousy that Aegon often shows at any man who dares to look at her is absurd, and at the same time, exciting.

Her father barely looked at her mother or cared for her, and somehow, it felt nice this was the opposite, that her husband was so possessive and jealous of her that hte thought of anyone looking at her was enough to drive him like this. Her back gives a gentle thud at the hit against the back as an emerald gaze settles back on Aegon's, breath escaping her. "No one has touched my lips but you, and you know this." Trystane, once. But they were children. Aegon had been the first to kiss her with something kindle to a passion that was enough to make Myrcella feel like a woman for the first time.

"What do these men hide? Do tell me. Do they wish to take me as you do?" She knows they do. Some still try, hoping the marriage will not last, considering the life expectancy of kings these days. Chin up in a little defiance, her hands moving to trace the line of his jawline, eyes flickering toward his mouth. "They can think what they wish. At the end of the end, it's your bed I sleep on. And your arms that warm me." Fingers lace through silver hair to pull him slightly closer. "I'm yours, Aegon. Or have you forgotten my vows?"

ㅤㅤㅤ❝ SER TERRICK IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. ❞ How he hates that man and his insistence on being so close to his princess at every hour of the day. Myrcella is safe here. She will not be harmed by her own people in her family's own castle, and if she needed a personal guard, he has plenty of good men to choose from. Men that Aegon knows he can trust. ❝ I understand you have known him for years, but I question whether he would have more loyalty to you or to your family. ❞ And the latter would certainly be a problem, considering they are now at odds with her mother. Aegon cannot trust him, for the man's intentions are as unreadable as a book with blank pages. Worse are all the ways he antagonizes Aegon. Subtle ways, he'll give him credit, but the prince knows the knight must be doing these things on purpose just to irk him.

ㅤㅤㅤ❝ I don't often allow the envoys in my presence without you there. Unlike this Terrick. The man is always in your shadow, and I swear, sometimes he tries to keep me away from you. What loyal knight would dare keep a husband from his wife if his intentions are as pure as you claim? ❞ The prince huffs, eyes cast across the room in avoidance. His hand slides against hers, finding her wrist to trace circles with his thumb; a soothing act for himself. He would say that Myrcella has done nothing except live her life as she pleases, and that it is the men around her that have earned his ire for the lust in their eyes, but he's learned enough about his wife's behaviors to know that part of her loves to incite him on purpose. She proves it just then when she suggests kissing Terrick, and Aegon's eyes snap to her in an instant. He takes her by her shoulders, pinning her to the wall beside them, leaning down to look into her eyes. ❝ No , ❞ the prince's voice is full of gravel. ❝ Your lips are mine. And I don't like to share. ❞ He knows she's teasing, and he doesn't mind allowing her the reaction she'd surely been prodding for, but gods, this woman is going to be the death of him. ❝ Do you wish to drive me to madness? Is that why you say these things, Cella? Why should it be unreasonable for me to be so protective of what is mine, anyhow, especially when I know what thoughts most men hide behind their eyes when they look at you? ❞

a thread between callie & roman bc we were to lazy to do it in the dash ! enJOY this mess

roman: roman had thrown himself onto the couch and he wasn't really planning on even leaving. in just one day he'd gone from feeling on top of the world to feeling like pure shit. he didn't even know why he told callie where he was. he actually didn't really want to see her right now, but at the same time he couldn't help but hope for an explanation. maybe they could, for once, be functioning human beings and talk something out properly? 'it's open' he yelled when he heard someone - most likely callie - knocking on the front door.

callie: her jaw stayed clench, but his last text made her let out a small breath. ' what? ', she scoffed to herself. she quickly texted back, pushing herself off of the couch. is that what he really though she was trying to do?, she thought. with the small space of time she began to think about the whole situation ( something she should've done way before this blew out of proportion ). once she got the texts it was only a few seconds before she was at his door. her hand went for the handle, but she paused and then placed a few knocks on the door. once she heard his voice, she opened the door, taking a few steps in. ' hey... ', she said in a voice that didn't sound like her own. ' um... do you really think i wanted to fuck whatever we have up ? ', callie added with a nervous laugh, as she made her way towards the couches.

roman: roman didn't move when callie entered or when she spoke. finally after a good few seconds of uncomfortable silence, lifted his face from where he'd buried it in a throw pillow, still not looking at callie. 'yeah i do. that's what happens when you first get mad without telling me why so you're basically just picking a fight for nothing, and then you believe some weird shit my roommate made up about me for some weird reason? this could've all been avoided if you'd just asked me.' he dropped his head again, sighing into the pillow. he really wasn't looking forward to the conversation he was probably gonna have to have with ian later. especially since he was wearing the pink hoodie ian had got him, and roman did not have the energy to move off this couch, much less to change his clothes. 'listen i told you before..' roman started, slightly muffled by the pillow, 'if you're gonna fuck me over just.. don't.' if he hadn't buried his face into all this fabric, callie would've probably heard how unsteady his voice was. 'i can't deal with that again.'

callie: she stood a few spaces in front of roman, hoping it would lift himself up to face her, but after a while she figured that wasn't going to happen. the blonde lowered herself to the floor, sitting on it with her legs crossed in front of her. her fingers immediately raised to her mouth and she began to chew on them as she listened closely to roman. callie knew she was wrong. she's had countless lectures from her parents when she acted without thinking things through, but she wasn't ready to admit it just yet. her eyebrows furrowed down just as she opened her mouth to talk. ' why the fuck would i want to hurt you ? ', she replied. ' jesus, roman... i l- ', she started, but quickly shurt her mouth. ' i wouldn't do that to you. ', callie caught herself. she dropped her hands to her lap, staring down at them for a while before sucking in a breath. ' ok fine, i'm sorry. i should've talked to you first. but, i was scared that it was true... ', she admitted, her voice lowering towards the end.

roman: 'well you did do that.' roman said, still muffled, and when he said it even he himself cringes at how petulant it sounded. in the back of his mind roman knew she wouldn't do that, but there was a bigger part of him that was convinced that she would. he had to admit that he, too, had jumped to conclusions. 'apology accepted.' he finally said, sitting up with some dramatic sighing and groaning, acting like an old man, until he could actually face callie properly. 'i wouldn't do that to you either, like why would i got through all this stupid shit saying i'm not sure if we should make this a thing because of what my ex did and all that, but then giving this - whatever the fuck this is - a try anyways only to do a complete 180 and go sleep with someone else?' roman chewed on the inside of his cheek, a realisation bubbling up after spitting out these words at callie. 'you know maybe that's the issues. we're all like "i don't know what this is" and "we're just taking it easy". i don't think that's working. for both of us. we need more.. stability.' he'd almost said commitment instead, but he knew callie and he knew the fastest way to escalate this conversation into something even worse.

callie: a small smile appeared on her face when he accepted her apology. it was easy, how fast they forgave each other, which was silly considering how stubborn callie was to actually apologize. her eyes followed him as he got up. it had been a while since she's actually seen him, which is entirely strange to her. her body leaned forward with her elbows resting on her knees. her mouth formed a small o as roman threw out his thoughts. ' i mean... ', callie shrugged. all of the sudden she turned into a little kid who couldn't admit that they had a crush. she attempted to shake it off, but a bit of it stuck. ' define... stability. ', she asked with a small, awkward laugh. callie had no idea why the thought of being tied down made her uncomfortable. all she wanted was to be something with roman. it was the obvious thing to do, but again, she sat in front of him with her face turning red, unable to say what she was in her mind.

roman: roman had expected some squirming, however he had not expected callie to actually turn red and go all quiet. 'stability is already pretty defined.' he tried to joke, but he soft laugh sounded more awkward than lighthearted. 'we just need to be more clear about where we stand. so that we won't have to refer to this as "this". give it a name i guess?' suddenly it dawned on him what they were doing. 'i'm pretty sure we're having a what are we conversation. what the fuck.'

callie: ' right. ', she let out a hefty breath before sucking one back in. she got up from her spot on the floor. she pushed romans legs a bit to the side, and took a seat on the couch. ' i hate that. ', she mumbled as she buried her face into roman's chest. ' ok. what are we ? ', she sighed, resting her chin on his chest before moving so she sat back up straight. ' you first. ', callie added before he could ask her what she thought.

roman: it was almost weird how quickly they went from fighting to being as affectionate as ever. roman instinctively brushed some hair out of callie's face, thinking about the big question they were now accidentally discussing. so much for taking things slow. 'i mean we're not just friends...' he started, wanting to shrivel up into a ball from cringing so bad. why was this conversation so hard? it seemed so simple. 'so more than friends.' he stated, event though that still wasn't giving this thing a name. 'your turn.'

callie: she nuzzled her face into his hand when he brushed a few strands of hair out of her face. ' no we're not. ', she repeated. her focus fell to a piece of strand that was stuck on his shirt. callie began to play with it. ' ok so no friends with benefits or any of that then... scratch that off hte list ', she joked. ' um well i agree... how about... someone that i like a lot... i don't know how to do this. ', she sighed. ' ok ok... how about best friends who like each other a lot and yeah.. '

roman: 'well there are benefits to being your friend. just not of the sexual kind.' roman said, a cheesy smile plastered on his face. his expression quickly turned more serious after callie spoke again. 'but we've always been best friends who like eachother a lot. and, uhm, best friends who kiss sounds like friends with benefits again. although i do like to kiss you. very important detail.' he could keep making cheesy jokes for a long time, but they would have to say it eventually, they'd have to actually go there. 'okay so please don't run out of here and hide from me forever but here's the thing. i'm just gonna say it... relationship.'

callie: in response to roman's cheesy jokes, callie's eyes just widened and looked off to the side before letting out a small forced laugh. ' ok you can stop now... ', she responded by putting her hand over his mouth before he can say anything else cheesy. her hand only remained for a bit before she moved to so it rested on his chest again. her heart stopped when he said his last sentence, but she knew it was coming. she pushed her lips together and nodded. ' i mean... if that's what you realllllly want... then yeah. i could be okay with it. ', she responded, attempting to hid the wide grin that slowly began to appear on her face. ' yeah i could be okay with that. ' her last sentence surprised her.

roman: roman had expected callie to push back a little. relationship sounded a lot like commitment. but even though she was trying to hide it, the smile on her face was pretty obvious. roman mirrored it, taking her hands and intertwining their fingers. 'i want you to want it too though.' he said, even though he knew she wasn't being completely serious. 'i don't just want you to be okay with it, you need to want it too. otherwise it's not fun.'

callie: her nose scrunched up as she caught his eyes. ' yeah, of course i want to. ', she replied, letting him take her hand into his. ' i mean... i wouldn't of... y'know... made a whole ordeal about the whole cleo thing if i didn't. ', she admitted. ' by the way, if you ever want to leave me for cleo, i would whole heartedly understand. i was just being dramatic. i would leave me for cleo too... i mean... she's... cleo. ', callie added in a light joke. ' so now what... can i refer to you as ro still or like do i have to refer to you as my boyfriend. or do you prefer something else ? ', she asked.

roman: 'i would not leave you for cleo ever. you don't mind me rambling and... being me basically. what am i gonna do with cleo? be quiet? have you seen me be quiet for more than a minute ever?' roman laughed. though he'd come to a better understanding with cleo, she'd never even come close to what callie meant to him. 'oh you can only call me your boyfriend now.' roman made a confused face. 'boyfriend sounds weird. roman, ro, whatever. i just.. i don't really want everything to change because we're actually together or something. we're still best friend right? you just also happen to be my girlfriend.' he made the same confused face again, laughing softly. 'my girlfriend, that's weird too. good weird though.

callie: callie simply gave him a shrug back. she knew cleo wasn't a fan of him, which now... it doesnt make any sense why she thought he did. ' you're right. ', she admitted. her face looked amused as he rambled on. ' okay so, ro works. ', she nodded before letting out a laugh. ' you can call me your majesty. or your majie for short. ', callie said with a serious face, continuing to nod her head.

roman: 'your majie, mhh' roman said as if he was trying it out. 'okay i can do that. but you have to call me my lord and-' he burst out laughing before he could finish his sentence. he couldn't believe just minutes ago he'd felt like his life was one big pile of shit. right now he felt nothing but giddy. 'okay okay just kidding. i think if you called me that i would never stop laughing.'

First Comes Marriage - Faylette, AO3

Link: Here!!

Rating: Explicit in The Most Endearing way I have EVER read, and I’ve got over 1000+ bookmarks on AO3 (god only knows how many are actually in my history)

Favorite Quote(s): They do this every five seconds for the rest of the fic. I’m BARELY exaggerating, it’s adorable.

He took her against his chest, wrapping her in his arms, holding her close. A small gasp escaped her before she fell silent, standing still in his embrace. His hand pressed firmly against her back, feeling the cotton of her tunic, and the wrinkles of whatever fabric lay beneath. But something about the texture of her clothes, about the heat that he felt even through all his layers, about her unsteady breath against his neck — all these minuscule details, so easy to perceive — gave him pause. It became apparent why, despite everything else, his dream lacked its usual haziness and vagueness.

I love him so much, and this is partially why

“Right. I can come to bed with you now, if you wish.” His eyes widened at the sound of his own voice saying those words. “I mean, I can come to sleep with you. No, wait, not with you, just… near you, I suppose. A-And literally sleeping, of course, not…” He shook his head and groaned, mentally punching himself in the stomach to make himself shut up. “Let’s go, then.”

They are both absolutely this stupid in real life, I can almost guarantee it.

“Shouldn’t you at least take off your armour?”

Oh, Andraste’s tits.

“N-No, I… prefer to sleep this way.” Was it really worth his pride to remain so obstinate in front of her? “Old habit.”

Cullen no

“Inquisitor, you look…” What is the word, within the confines of language, that perfectly expresses what he saw before his eyes? Beautiful? Radiant? Breath-taking?

“I look…?” she mirrored his words, prompting him to finish.

“Uncomfortable.”

That probably wasn’t the right one. Josephine looked like she was using every ounce of her willpower not to roll her eyes at his gaffe.

I hate this hoe, but damn does she have great terrible timing

“She does not satisfy you in bed, does she?”

And then he choked and spewed crumbs all over himself.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually did this in the game tbh

“So, how is she?”

Considering the question made him call Evelyn’s image to mind. With all the time he spent with her, day after day, night after night, recalling almost perfectly her face and her voice and even the way her clothes felt against his fingertips was an effortless task. “She is… strong, indomitable, determined. Wouldn’t let anything stop her from something she’s committed to. Extraordinary with a blade in hand. Firm in her leadership, but not obstinate.” He thought of that smile she gives him when he kisses her, bright and authentic, and how he reflexively returns it just at the sight of her happiness. He didn’t realize that the mere thought of it curved up the corner of his lips. “Inspires all those who follow her.”

“High praise from the Commander,” Bull commented. “But I guess I wasn’t specific enough. How’s the sex?”

This’ll come in handy later

“And Cullen,” said Bull, demanding his full attention before imparting his own advice. “You know those really friendly pups you have here that would just lick your face like crazy forever if you didn’t stop them?”

A part of his mind convinced him that he was going to advise getting Evelyn a puppy for some reason, and that was the part of his mind that impelled him to say, “Yes?”

“Do that yourself. But between her legs.”

He’s so fucking earnest how could you Not love this man???

She managed to hold that look for a moment longer, but upon opening her mouth to say something, she instantly cracked up into a flurry of laughs. Instead of relieving her of the need to laugh at the absurdity of the whole situation, doing so only made it harder to stop, and she just kept going even until her eyes were watering and her cheeks hurt from the childish grin on her face.

“Are… are you all right?” Cullen eventually asked, and he did actually sound genuinely concerned as he said that. In light of that, Evelyn tried to calm herself down. Her success was arguable.

“I-I’m sorry,” she paused to stifle a chuckle before it turns into a howl. “That’s just… it’s such a mean prank to pull on you, but—“ She wanted to tell him it was just too funny, but her ability to speak was taken away once again as she tried to hold her drumming abdomen still with her arms. That might have spoken for her, though.

“It was a prank?” She could not see her since her eyes are scrunched closed, but his voice revealed the incredulity that would be painted across his features.

“I’m sure of it. Sera was probably in on it too, somehow.”

*Snort*

“As you were,” Evelyn ordered, her voice just steady enough to have it come off an as order.

“Sure thing, boss,” said Bull. He still watched them with an intent curiosity, though. “Can I ask only one–“

“Absolutely not.”

“Just an author's curiosity–“

“No, Varric.”

Take this as you will

Rating change incoming. ;D

I love an author that calls out the weird sexism thing we here in the media, and probably would’ve heard significantly more back then... but also, they’re just, so fucking gentle with each other, and it fucking shows fam

“Then, and I remember this all so well, she says: ‘Evelyn, imagine you’re holding a platter, and atop it is a Feastday pheasant with all the trimmings, as perfect as any Feastday pheasant you’ve ever seen. You have to carry it through the whole of the estate, but you are being careless. Before you leave the kitchen, the cook takes a bite. Then, along the way, the stable boy takes a bite. A guard takes a bite. A page boy takes a bite. A visiting trader takes a bite. The keeper of the hounds takes a bite. The blacksmith and his apprentice take bites from it.

“And finally, you reach the dining room, and place the bones of that perfect pheasant on the table, in front of your husband.’” Her lips pursed, and she was taken aback by how much they had to struggle to continue giving voice to her words. “‘And you will have disgraced him, and us.’”

“That's...” Cullen faltered.

“And I just don't think it can be like that, like it takes part of you away, like it destroys you. It doesn't sound right at all.” Evelyn huffed through her nose, stifling a laugh at the notion, but still feeling its claws grip at her chest, making her exhalation shaky. “But then, sometimes, I think maybe I am just that bird on that platter.”

“You're not.” He told her firmly, as insistent as she'd ever heard him say anything. “You're not,” he repeated, softly.

They’re so wonderfully in love with each other

“You have so many freckles,” he commented, tracing his fingers back up her arms, coming to rest his palms on the sides of her well-speckled shoulders.

“Thank you.” She winced shortly after saying so. It wasn't a compliment, was it?

“I want to kiss every single one,” Cullen told her,

So awkward and wonderful and sweet and well-intentioned they are.

“Do you really put this on every day?” he asked, as if thinking aloud. “I-I'm sorry, I don't know if I'm supposed to speak, or stay quiet or what to say...”

“It's fine, really.” She was trying to reassure herself as much as him, because she hadn't the slightest idea either. “And yes. Everyday.” She paused. “Always feels great to take it off, at least.”

;) ;) ;)

“Hmm.” She scrunched up her face in thought, then meandered through them in speech. “Well, there's no lavender-scented candles, or sparkling Orlesian wine, or rose petals on the bed... or a bed, I suppose. And maybe what happened was different from what I expected.” Reaching out one hand, she ran the backs of her fingers softly along his strong, stubbled jaw. “But the man is precisely how I've imagined him.”

Important lesson kids!!! You are NOT obligated to swallow anything, no matter what media, fanfiction, or even your partner tells you!!! And anyone worth your time won’t Make you do it anyway

“I don’t understand. What are you sorry for?”

“I couldn’t swallow, it felt like it was getting stuck in the back of my mouth every time I tried.”

Cullen raised a brow. “I… didn’t even think you would plan on doing that.”

She raised a brow in turn. “Really?” He nodded. “Huh. It’s what the women in the books always do,” she added timidly.

They’re just genuinely like this and I love how real and honest it feels

“I suppose everything’s all at the ready, then.” At the ready? Was she a squadron about to assault an enemy? Was he trying to sound completely out of his element?

“Sure is,” said Evelyn. “Well, have fun.” A second later, she slapped her hand over her eyes. “I have no idea why I said that.”

“No, I’m sure I will,” he said, as if trying to console her, and somehow becoming convinced that he had to keep going in such an attempt. “I very much enjoy being with you, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy… doing this to… your, ah.” He cleared his throat. “Well.” At that point, he no longer had any desire to stall, because he was certain that his mouth would be better occupied doing absolutely anything besides talking.

CONTINUITY!!!! Something the writers of Teen Wolf have never heard of and I’m STILL salty about it yes

Evelyn was about to head out of the room, and had even begun to argue with herself if she should pretend she hadn’t seen it so he could surprise her with it, when her eyes caught a final part of the room that had not been there before. On the pillow, there was a letter, neatly folded, with her name written on it. She picked it up, unfurled it, and read:

Evelyn,

I know these are not substitutes for the lavender candles, sparkling wine and roses you would have wanted, but I was hoping they would please you all the same. Unfortunately, I will not be able to find out if they will.

saving hte best for last This is what happens when you try to steal a happily married man without his consent kids, just fyi

She wrapped her arms around his neck, sliding her impeccably shaped nails up and through his golden curls. “You don’t know how you’ve made me burn for you.”

“Graciela…”

How pleased she looked to not have to correct him anymore. “Sí, amor?”

“Your hair’s on fire.”

Words & Chapter(s): 67,940 words, and 29 chapters, unfinished and last updated in 2016, but still worth it and we don’t get left on an awkward cliff hanger either

Summary: Inquisitor Trevelyan tries negotiating with nobles while her trusty diplomat is out sick, and accidentally arranges her marriage to a nobleman's son. In a moment of desperation and shortsightedness, she claims to already has a husband: Cullen. It's up to the few who know the truth to sort everything out, but until then, the two are forced to keep up the charade of wedded bliss.

A fill for: http://dragonage-kink.livejournal.com/12449.html?thread=48474273#t48474273

Score: 11

Pairing(s): Cullen Rutherford/Female Trevelyan, I choose to believe she’s a rouge but it’s not very certain what her class is.

Warning(s): Graciela keeps trying unsuccessfully to get Cullen to cheat, there’s lemon and it great because it’s so awkward and endearing and honestly I love it, especially since a lot of straight romance, even in fanfiction, is weirdly directed towards Men rather than both partners

Pros: THE SEX!!!! It’s so sweet and earnest and hot and wonderful and my favorite part of this fic is their entire courting thing, from awkward start to satisfying finish, it’s sooooo good!!!!!!!!

I love the other characters too, even Graciela, as much as I hate her, her written character is fascinating and intriguing and UUUUUUUUUGH I love every written here, they all have such HUGE personalities so easily written into the fic that’s it’s almost unbelievable, the way that Faylette has managed to establish, with ease, who everyone is, what their motivations are, their goals etc, it’s amazing honestly.

Also, the physical description is red hair/green eyes/freckles and that’s all I've noticed so feel free to imagine her as any skin tone you want, much like I always do anyways

Gif Aesthetic: Kinda like this video

But also

#dragon age inquisition #Satan has great taste in: Cullen Rutherford #He's just so great #so if my Cullen would just ask me out???????#That'd be great thanks #Cullen Rutherford #Cullen Rutherford x Female Inquisitor #Cullen Rutherford x Female Trevelyan

War Is No Place...

Part 5/9

George Luz x Medic!Marshall!Reader (Fixed and in Love)

Joseph Liebogtt x Medic!Marshall!Reader (One-Sided, Sorry)

Eugene “Doc” Roe x Medic!Marshall!Reader (One-Sided)

Synopsis: You had your eyes on George Luz since day one. Quickly, you fell in love with one another, but you soon realized that war is no place for a lot of things. Mainly, though, its no place for love.

It was a secret, that you wished you could share. You wished you could scream it on top of a mountain. That you, Y/n Marshall.

Where going to have a baby.

George’s baby, at that. The man that took your first everything was now going to give you your first baby. You smiled softly to yourself as you sat outside of the circle of men as they joked and ate. George was standing by a tree, silently watching you in worry. You had been distant. Very, very distant. It was as if you weren’t fully there in the moment. It was as if you were dreaming of a different place. He wasn't wrong. You dreamt of a warm bed with George’s arms around you as you watched your baby sleep soundly across the room. You were imagining a different time, where he would be making him or her pancakes before school in the morning. Blinking slowly, you looked down at your hands which were hanging on top of your knees. Maybe they would like the snow, you thought as you rubbed your boot into the snowy surface below you. Maybe their giggles would warm your heart as you would build a cold snowman with them. Their smile would be so pure. So innocent.

Maybe they would remind you that there’s still good in this world.

You got choked up at the thought as you stood swiftly and walked away. George pushed off the tree but saw Eugene stand to follow you. Eugene looked at George, as if for permission and George just nodded back. There were things you would never tell George and you would only tell Eugene.

He respected that.

Eugene followed you quietly through the snowy forest and while he was light on his feet, you knew he was behind you. “Yes, Gene” you called out hoarsely as you stopped abruptly, finally having enough of him following you. “What's going on,” he asked softly as he walked up beside you before moving in front of you. Your eyes were full of tears but he already knew you were about to cry just by the way you were walking. Like you were trying to hide the feelings.

Like you were trying to hide something.

He would find out eventually, you both knew that. He would poke and prod until you snapped and screamed it at him. But this was something that you wanted to tell him calmly. So you did just that. Trying to calm down, you closed your eyes before letting your hands go to your stomach. While the bump was not showing as you were very early, you knew it was there. Opening your eyes, you looked at Eugene innocently. His eyes were wide as he processed what you were doing with your hands with what you were about to say.

“I’m pregnant.”

Eugene kept it a secret as well, but he’d be keeping an eye on you. He advised you to call your father to get his advice, but you didn't need it. You had already told your father, in fact, he was the first to know. Through a letter, your father advised you that if the war wasn't over by June, he would pull you and George out. But there was also another catch.

You couldn't be on the field.

You were to stay as far back from the battle as possible and only help after a battle was complete and the area was safe. If he learned of you stepping onto the field during combat, you would be pulled immediately. With these rules and restrictions, he would allow you to help with the wounded, but no more battles. Eugene was surprised that it was that easy to get your father to say yes, but he didn't know that you had to beg him to let you stay and that you said you would do whatever he said to get your way. There was one more rule, that you had to go through with, but this one was not until after you were pulled or when the war was over.

You would marry George Luz.

That wouldn't be an issue for you, but your mind began to think that maybe he didn't want that. Pushing those thoughts away, you shifted on the tree stump you were perched on. Watching anxiously as the men were trying to take over Foy. Your hand was resting on your stomach absentmindedly, you knew you would have to quit doing that or people would catch on. Moving your hand away, you heard Dick yell for Speirs, who ran forward expectantly. He was told to relieve Dike and you just knew that something bad was happening. Swiftly moving towards Dick, he brushed past you angrily. You set your sights on the binoculars around Lew’s neck, storming forward, you yanked the binoculars down to your eyes so you could look out. He was bent forward at an awkward angle but he couldn't do anything about it. “You are so lucky you’re General Marshall’s daughter” he grumbled and you just flipped him off with your finger. “What's your deal anyway? Why are you so anxious when you aren't even on the field-”

“Leave her alone Nix” Dick hissed as you dropped the binoculars in anger before walking closer to the edge. He was also the only other person that knew of your predicament, and he understood fully why you were so anxious. The love of your life was on that field. That didn't seem to mean as much considering hte new information was much more costly.

He was also the father of your baby.

You watched as Speirs ran through the town of Foy. Right through enemy fire, you were happy that he wasn't yours or you would have had an aneurysm. You silently thanked God for a level headed lover. Someone who thought of the consequences before acting. Someone who always promised to come back to you, and you knew that he would never lie. Soon after Speirs connected with I, it was all over and you were allowed on the field. “Alright, Marshall you can-” but you were already taking off down the little hill and towards the snowy town.

Your heart was pumping as your foot stepped into the town. “Where’s George?!” you hissed out as you grabbed a boy who was still a little shell shocked. He didn't say anything but nonsense so you pushed past him and looked around the crowd of soldiers. Some men started to climb on top of a tank and you spotted him. Your heart stopped and a smile formed on your lips as you rushed over to him. Coming up beside him, you grabbed his hand before pulling him to a little alley. You needed him. Needed his lips and his touch. You needed to feel him. Close to you, safe with you. He seemed to know that the minute you were in the alley, he slammed you into the wall and let you at him. Your lips attacked his neck and face as your hands wandered along his body. Feeling for wounds. Feeling his flesh. Feeling him, all of him. “Baby I’m okay” he whispered out as you kept kissing him faster and faster. You felt heavy with anxiety as you tried so hard to calm down by just touching him. It scared you. Scared you horribly. To the point where you didn't know if he was even real. Was this even real?

A shot rang out and screams followed as George pushed you down to the ground so he could cover your body with his. You gripped onto his shoulders tightly as you heard hollering for Shifty to take out the sniper. Two more shots rang out, and then it fell silent. Pulling your face out of George’s neck slowly and shakily, you looked up at him blankly. As if you were trying to hide the 10 million emotions that were going through your body all at once. Fear. Anxiety. Love.

Guilt.

You should tell him. You opened your mouth but someone calling out your name cut you off. Leaning up, you pressed your lips to his, before standing. “Y/N!” They screamed louder and you rushed over as you called out to them that you were coming. Leaving your guilt behind you. He shouldn't know yet.

He couldn't.

2 dreams: 1 teeth dream & one space pirate one (under the cut)

had another dream about my teeth falling out! it started with a hurricane at my "high school" & I stole Chinese food from the buffet. then I went home & six of my teeth feel out, so my dad was like "ugh I already told you just take this medicine" & I took the medicine & tried to put my teeth back in, but all it did was make the enamel turn into liquid so my teeth were just clear shaped teeth molds full of ""milk"" aka melted enamel. that sucked bc the second I opened my mouth everything fell out again, & I was like "dad what do we do" & he was like "*sigh* I guess we'll spend $63,000". I remember looking in the mirror going "man this has gotta be a dream..." & then I looked at Tumblr & saw an incomprehensible post about miles morales & was like "well who knows"

i woke up & went back to sleep & the setting shifted.

i was some space pirate that used to be on the same team with everyone, but we all went our separate ways. i somehow became a very strong ageless shapeshifting warrior person? there were legends about me. anyway i went to check in on one of our old pirate members since it’d been ten thousand years & i was kind of suspicious on how he was still alive, & they’d become a vampire that seduces people & sucks their life essence out to stay young & to manipulate people into giving him power & influence. so i showed up right after he sucked all the juice out of someone & they popped out of existence like “hey Emmet, have you heard of the [whatever hte name of the ageless warrior was?] & he was like “hahaaahahahaa you know tha’ts ljust legends, right?” (very sweaty) & i shapeshifted right in front of him to become very large, tall, & dark red with big horns.

then the perspective swtiched to 2d video game platformer mode & i walked my big warrior self ery close to emmet & looked at hm until he aggroed & started calling in his hypnotized/brainwashed worers on his expesnive spaceship. i was overwhelmed in a combo of sheer numbers & also a bad healing system for that game sinice i had to scroll ALL the way down to pick up “Lucky Apple” which heals 50%. I could respawn though & kept showing up in his ship to attack since i was like “damn if i’m gonna get owned by this weaselly little bitch” but i kept getting owned by like thirty milky-eyed janitors with shotguns

#dreams #one more aspect but im about to walk to work I'll put ot under a readmore when ln laptop

mushi hime rant hahahhaahfdsjh

just posting my long-winded summary i typed immediately after finished reading to talk about how bad it was; it ended up a lot longer than i intended and now i feel like i should at least keep what i put effort into typing =___=

so it starts with this guy who's been getting recurring nightmares of a girl who shapeshifts into a monster with a huge mouth and teeth eating him

one day a transfer student comes in and looks exactly like her(already outplayed trope of having dreams for no reason of reality that doesnt ever get explained, and it happens lots of times throughout

)around the same time strange events start happening around town: ex, truck driver found by police with markings of a mass insect attack, dogs and pets all getting attacked by swarms of ants and filling up the vet hospitals

the narrative goes back and forth btwn:

- the guy's (Ryoichi's) POV in class where he's just not approaching her and wary of her bc of his dream; he's Not Like Other Boys who get all horny over her bc she's perfect (beautiful, smart, mysteriously quiet, physically adept)

- and btwn this stereotypically wacky/eccentric scientist who was consulted by the police with the first caseturns out the scientist has been tracking down a series of seemingly unrelated murders that follow a clear path ending at Ryoichi's town

throughout the story there's some not so subtle dialogues about the earth going through global warming and species dying

the scientist spiels to some insignificant characters about how humans arent long for this earth, etc etc and how insects are amazing because of their adaptational abilities

he seems to know the transfer student girl, Kikuchi and is trying to track her down

meanwhile kikuchi is character-developed as some clearly dangerous but morally compromised monster-human hybrid who Only Preys on Bad Guys or people around at the wrong time

she gets hit on by some lecherous perv who asks her to karaoke and she actually agrees

there she straddles him and starts kissing him and then these tentacle things come ouit of her throat and go into his mouth

he slumps over and she leaves

the scientist-investigator duo are closing in on her and find the security camera tapes, from that they get a picture and show it around town to try to locate her

meanwhile Ryoichi is still like wow she's Scary and I'm Not Like Other Boys

then he happens to see her just as the old man from the karaoke bar (who seems to have not been killed and is just stumbling around acting drugged) finds her and attacks her

a fucking needle spike comes out of her arm and she defends herself by stabbing him and puncturing his skull and killing him

he sees all that and shes like well guess you're my hostage now and takes him to his house

she's also attracted to him inexplicably, partially because He's Not Like Other Boys and shes like WHY ISNT HE SECRETING PHEROMONES FOR ME(she can smell that

)then there's a weird "erotic" scene where she forces him onto the bed and deep throats him with her mouth tentacles

then there's just a LOT of dialogue thrown at us at once with the scientist just explaining a shit ton to his investigation partner whose character clearly only exists for hte sake of exposition

turns out he had a colleague when he worked on a super secret gov funded experiment called biosphere 2 where they sealed off a forest and bombed it with radiation and pollution n shit

they found that it endured a lot at first and it was because of the bugs (?) that it did until the bugs disappeared and were nowhere to be found, then the forest just died

they looked around and found mutated bugs sleeping inside the earth

his colleague had a daughter back then with a terminal illness so out of desperation he injected the dna of the mutated insects into her, hoping their resilience would change her body to survive the illness

so she lived but she was clearly not human, farming off of her dad - she wasnt able to produce endorphins anymore so her tentacle things would secrete an enzyme to get hte host to produce lots of endorphins and she would take it, creating a dependency

bc she was the only of her species to exist she felt a need to procreate so she also kept trying to mate with her dad

then we find out that her dad had an identical twin who was raised by foster parents - and thats Ryoichi's dad, making Ryoichi and Kikuchi technically cousins, and genetically half-siblings

so thats why she was Inexplicably drawn to that town, and to him

she was wandering through japan because at some point her dad tried to kill her for humanity's sake, but bc of a random flood their town was wiped out and he wasnt able to kill her and she disappeared/survived the flood thanks to her ability to mutate in environmental changes

meanwhile she's been keeping him hostage to feed off of his endorphins and creating a dependency in him for the enzymes she would give him

until his mom accidentally comes into his room and sees, then she runs away and dies falling down the stairs lol

then he's all like ytou're a monster!!!!! and she threatens to kill the girl-next-door character in his friend group who seemed to have a thing for him/vice versa

so he's like: ill do anything just spare her!!!!

so she forces him to answer the door when his friends are like why havent u been going to class and tell them to fuck off/be a dick to them

while theyre walking outside after to go somewhere else the scientist sees the girl (Chiken) and is like hEY you look sad and depressed there's nothing possibly else that could make u feel like that except having your childhood crush abducted by a halfhuman-half locust succubus

he shows her the picture and she recognizes her and leads him back to the house

then he gets a rifle to try to shoot her and theres a whole fight scene where she uses her pheromones to call upon the insects to swarm

ryoichi is useless because he found his moms corpse lying in the bathtub getting consumed by maggots she asked to fully decompose the body

then the scientist gets a couple shots in and fends her off, meanwhile random police get in the way to stop what looks just like a home invasion and she disappears

they take ryoichi into the hospital bc all the endorphin harvesting and brain fuckery has him weak

then ryoichi's dad comes in and is like how do you recognize who i am!! to the scientist who explains

oh yeah that's the point at which we find out ryoichi and kikuchi are related

and then he's still having dreams where she vores him and he's both horrified and wants it

meanwhile entire city is getting swarmed by insects in a disaster scene with society breaking down etc etc

kikuchi tracks them down by following ryoichi's scent (?)

then they have one last battle where they try to use the dad as a distraction bc he looks identical to her dead father

and somehow the scientist just FINDS specific chemicals/enzymes to throw on her and weaken the part of her thats an insect

also earlier before she got there he whips out the mutant insect dna out of nowhere? like the extremely valuable dna that he should have no business just finding/still carrying around

and is like

hey lets inject ourselves with this because humanity is getting wiped out and attacked by insects rn anyway, the only way to live i sto adapt

but no one does it (lmao pointless inclusion)

then they defeat her in a big struggle with ryoichi getting farmed on by her again and instead of just taking it has a Miraculous realization past the drugs that oh no this person is killing everyone i love

and CHOMPS on her tentacle thigns while their mouths are connected

scientist injuects her with more random dna he has to compromise her mutant dna and the insect swarming stops bc of the internal biological shit happening and she's writhing oon the ground

then looks like she dies

they try to escape the basement theyve been in because its suddenly flooding (no reason lmfao)

on the way out they get stopped by a teacher that she pricked with her spike earlier on who's been missing from school and his "insect bite" changed his behavior/ultimately made him into a different part human part bug who tries to kill them

then kikuchi who -surprise- hadnt died!@!! shows up again but now she's blond and looks almost exactly like Ryoichi (who is blond) because the thing the scientist injected in her enabled her to adapt to the water and she's still a mutatn but Less Evil Somehow and he's like i thOUGHT U DIED.... I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU..

then epilogue is the scientist goign through his life normally and the city is recovered from the insect swarm and he sees another random global warming thing in the news and is like

“its only a matter of time before humanity perishes, but now is not that time....we're good.............,,,,,,,for now...and i know somewhere underwater something of humanity's legacy will live on”

and it cuts to ryoichi and kikuchi hugging in a very Shape of Water way underwater with tentacle thigns cause they went to live in the ocean

then there s a bad window for a sequel showing the teacher guy - SURPRISE - not actuially dead and crunching on humans in a sewer somewhere

STILL A FUN READ

Cap already apologized to tony? I don't understand the hate cap got from civil war he did what he thought was right just as tony did 👀not to mention his motivation for half the movie was to stop a bunch of super soldiers getting set free that pretty legit Like I get the parent thing is messed up but tony did try to murder his best friend which is also pretty messed up so tony isn't innocent in this scenario and then cap was the bigger man and reached out to tony and gave him a phone so

Ohhhh boy, alright, here we go.

First of all, his “apology” was bullshit. You know when somebody hurts you, and they say “sorry you got hurt” but not “I’m sorry I hurt you”? THAT is Cap’s letter to Tony, in a nutshell. Let’s go through the whole text:

I’m glad you’re back at the compound, I don’t like the idea of you rattling around a mansion by yourself. We all need family. The Avengers are yours, maybe more so than mine. [The Avengers are clearly not “Tony’s”, since most of them sided with Cap]. I’ve been on my own since I was 18. I never really fit in anywhere – even in the Army. [Talking about himself and his own problems to try to get sympathy in a letter that should be an APOLOGY] My faith is in people, I guess. Individuals. [But not the democratically elected governments of those individuals? What about Charlie Spencer, who was killed in Sokovia and whose mother, Miriam, wanted someone to be held accountable? What about the thousands and thousands of civil servants and gov’t officials who worked on the Accords over the span of 2 years and the 150+ countries who approved them?] And I’m happy to say for the most part, they haven’t let me down. Which is why I can’t let them down either. [He refused to even consider the Accords which, again, were wanted by most people] Locks can be replaced, but – maybe they shouldn’t. [This doesn’t even make sense in this context. Steve’s actions didn’t break any locks. The Accords still got passed, just without his approval, which means nothing in a legal context] I know I hurt you Tony. I guess I thought – by not telling you about your parents I was sparing you, but… I can see now I was really sparing myself. I’m sorry. [This is the one good point in this letter, but then it is followed by…] Hopefully one day you can understand. [One day you can understand???? Understand WHAT? That Steve selfishly and hypocritically kept the BIGGEST SECRET of Tony’s life from him? For more than a year??] I wish we agreed on the Accords, I really do. I know you were only doing what you believe in [this makes it seem like this is all Tony’s fault. Steve was only doing what he believed in too - that doesn’t make him right], and that’s all any of us can do, it’s all any of us should. [No, because sometimes, there’s this thing called compromise, and obviously, Steve has never heard of it].So no matter what, I promise if you — if you need us. If you need me, I’ll be there.

But moving on. Steve’s position about the Accords in CACW is so problematic, but, since you didn’t really mention the Accords, I assume you understand that. But I’ll talk about it a little more (because it infuriates me).

Steve does not understand modern-day politics. That is through no fault of his own - there’s a whole lot of nuance, and he did sleep through 70 years of it. 5 years is not enough to catch up on almost a century of developments in regulation, globalization, and international diplomacy. Tony, on the other hand, DOES understand modern-day politics. He has juggled the American government and the military in every single Iron Man movie (Iron Man 2 especially), and he clearly understood and read the Accords in CACW. Tony may not trust the American government or Ross (just like Steve), but he DOES trust the international community and the UN (which, for some reason, Steve does not?).

Steve thinks that the Avengers - a predominantly American based, PRIVATE militant organization - should be able to go into any foreign country they want to, to do anything they want, because the Avengers judge it to be right. That is an extremely imperialist point of view, and it is downright disrespectful to other nations. So 150+ nations agreed that they wanted the Avengers to work for them, to serve the WORLD, not just America, and Steve just…doesn’t agree with that. And, I’m sorry, but Steve’s whole excuse about “people have agendas”? Yeah. Of course people have agendas. But, call me an optimist, usually people who work at the UN have agendas which benefit their own people. If 150+ countries agreed on the Accords at the UN, you can bet that their agenda was PROTECTING THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

But anyway. I’m digressing.

The biggest problem with Steve’s defense of Bucky in CACW is that it is completely flawed.

He finds Bucky in Bucharest - where he has just been living his life - and forces him into the spotlight. I don’t know if Bucky would have come quietly if Steve hadn’t been there and escalated the situation, but it’s certainly possible. Then, even though Steve says that a kill-order was put out against Bucky, the soldiers take him in WITHOUT KILLING HIM. Sure, the conditions he’s held in aren’t great, but, at the time, he was a suspected terrorist. By the time Bucky and Steve arrive at the airport with the rest of Team Cap, THEY BOTH KNOW about the other winter soldier threats. Tony comes and TALKS TO THEM, gives them a chance to come in. And here’s the part that really matters.

Steve does not - and has never - trusted Tony.

If this threat was really as dire as Steve believed, then why didn’t he tell Tony? Why didn’t he TRUST Tony enough to ask him for help? Clearly Steve thought that Tony was in cahoots with Ross or something, which shows how little Steve knows about Tony’s character. As evidenced by Tony’s later actions in the movie, he was completely willing to fuck Ross and come to Cap’s aid in the face of such a threat. Why didn’t Steve know this? Because he does not trust Tony. Not since Ultron (which was not solely Tony’s fault. For some reason, Steve doesn’t blame Wanda (who put the thoughts into Tony’s head), or Bruce (who had just as much to do with Ultron as Tony) for that incident).

This is also why Steve did not trust Tony enough to tell him about his parents. Tony is a reasonable man. Imagine if Steve had set Tony aside one day - FAR AWAY FROM BUCKY, AND THE VIDEO TAPE - and told him gently, as a friend, what had happened to Howard and Maria. Tony would have been upset - he would have been sad, and angry, and maybe even violent - but his friend would have been there to calm him down and get him help and support. Bucky would have been safe, Tony would have the help he needed, and Steve would have acted like a good friend to both of them.

Instead, Tony was given this information at the worst possible time. He not only had to find out that his parents were murdered - he had to WATCH. With the killer (mind control or not) less than 5 feet away. Do you know how traumatizing that must have been? Of COURSE Tony lashed out. He’s a man with severe PTSD, a guilt complex, and anxiety and depression. OF COURSE he fucking attacked Bucky. Who would be thinking in their right mind in that moment??? But instead of just trying to defend Bucky and calm Tony down, Steve ACTIVELY tried to harm Tony - culminating in him slamming his shield down on Tony’s arc reactor, his MOST VULNERABLE PLACE (which undoubtedly caused even more trauma) and then LEFT HIM ALONE IN SIBERIA.

I’m not saying that Tony was perfect in CACW. He should have actively distanced himself from Ross as much as possible, especially in front of hte other Avengers. He should have communicated with the Avengers more, and he shouldn’t have brought Peter to Germany.

But Steve’s entire reasoning in that movie was objectively wrong and harmful. And the fact that he still does not understand that (as evidenced by his “apology letter”) is very concerning.

Ducktales Reviews: The Phantom and the Sorceress

Ducktales returns! The Phantom Blot returns to animation after too damn long with a neat backstory, an infnity guantlet and a hate boner for anything magic related. And since Lena is magic related she’s forced to go to her worst enemy and local close up magician Magica De Spell for help. Also Gladstone is here because we missed him and for no other reason. But we missed him so it’s okay. Friendship Is Magic, under the cut.

Woo-ooo! We’re back! Months later and in a new room, with new things to be depressed about because this year is groundhog day and everyone is bill murray, which isn’t as fun as it should be, Ducktales is finally back on screens and in my heart. And my galbladder.. he really likes ducktales. But yeah with the recent cancelation of the venture bros, it’s nice to get it’s spirtual littlte brother back just a few weeks later to help fill the void, and while a comparison to it now I know frank’s a fan and noticed the simlarties between rusty and gyro thanks to a tumblr post, the same post for both things inf act, I might just do that one day. But tha’ts not what your here, for , iv’e had to rewrite this intro enough times, Pitter Patter, let’s get at er.

This episodes opens with Scrooge sitting down for his morning tea when the kids pop out of the tv and hte bored way he figures it out is really hilarious. David Tennat is really good at selling just how Scrooge has both seen it all and has the deductive skills of Barbra Gordon. What eveyrone syaing “Of batman” gets old after a while and she’s just as smart as he is, especially as oracle. Point is it’s a good bit. As he correclty guesses the kids were playing Legends of Nerverquest or whatever that game Huey and Della played last season is called, one of them wished it was real, presumibly Dewey, and Lena’s magic accidently made it happen. And since it’s her first spotlight episode of the season, and possibly only one since this season is kind of packed, it’s time to talk about Lena! Admitely I PLANNED to do at least her first episode and her two season 2 episodes before this, but life got in the way so here we are. Lena.. is easily one of my faviortes, the number of weblena chats have made that clear. She’sd got a compelling arc, the show tackles abuse well in her narrative, and she and webby have really sweet chemstiry. Plus she brought us Violet and i’ll always be greatful for that and she’s voiced by Kimiko Glenn in her first major voice acting role so that helps too. SHe’s a great addition to the cast and the canon. Same, as the previous comment made obvious, goes for Violet, and the three togther have a great dynamic and i’ts nice to finally see an episode with JUST the three of them post “Friendship Hates Magic.”.

But yeah Lena’s magic’s been going haywire and I do feel the setups abit rushed.. hilarious but rushed. While Night on Kilmotor hill did establish her magic can run wild, it was also vauge if it was because of her, or it was because magica was messing with her head. IT’s still a plausable setup since we haven’t really SEEN her use her magic or have any intrest and doing so and she’s only done so either while working for magica, to undo something magica did, or to give her sister a mace so she could literally go midevil on some alien ass, it just feels a bit abrubt. And while Night on Kilmotor hill also set up a problem we hadn’t seen on screen, it felt like it gave us more time to ease into it and Lena’s issues, and made it clear SOMETHING was up instead of just telling us that. The rest of hte episode is still good i’ve just seen the show be way better at setup than this.

But yeah Lena’s magic keeps runing their fun and she feels bad about it, while Scrooge ends up putting his foot and spats in his mouth by voicing his hatred of magic, with all his nephews giving him a “Grandpa no look” and Webby glaring at him.. and whiel I didn’t realize it while watching it.. whiel sh’es given him a disaporving look, the equilvent of shooting bambi in the face emtoinally, she’s only been THIS angry with him one other time.. and it was the time he said “Your not family”. Thankfully this time he’s not in defnstive arrogant bastard mode, so he meekly walks it back to exclude her and she shrugs it off: She hates magic too. And really.. it’s not hard to see WHY given that most times it’s enterted her life, it’s nearly got everyone she loves killed, and that the only spellcaster she knows personally is the absuive aunt whose gaslighted her on multiple occasions, most recently to try and renslave her. Thankfully before Webby can make an old man bleed for his insesntivity, Della reveals some magical creature is there and Scrooge, while annoyed it’s more magic, is happy for another adventure and invites everyone along. And I jsut love that he dosen’t even show the slightest hesitation bringing Violet and Lena along. As far as he’s concerned probably their family too, maybe not as much as Webby but their still welcome. I mean granted i’m sure della and donald had an awkard conversation with Ty and Indy over all this to make sure it was cool, but still, it’s a nice gesture on his part and show’s his personality: He really dosen’t care who comes along as long as they can pull their weight and share his love for adventure, their welcome. It’s also nice ot see him and Lena interact since the two really haven’t since the shadow war: Sure he’s been in the same room with her twice, btu they haven’t really spoken. Though my honest guess is they could’ve genuinely meant for Scrooge to adopt her into the family.. but when coming up with Violet found her family adopting her and them becoming sisters to be a better idea and went with that. And to be fair it is, and not just for shipping purposes, I just wish we got some closure on that line, but i’m also aware the show has a LOT of ground to cover each season, so I understand it probably got squeezed out by all the other stuff going on and don’t really sweat it since we got something better anyway, her getting two gay dads and a sister, it just felt worth talking about. And in universe.. I feel he didn’t simply because he didn’t either know she was back or have a chance to, though i’m also damn certain, at least in my own headcanon, he helped those men formally adopt her. I mean he owns most of the city, and they probably also had to make Lena legally exist in the first place since I doubt Magica bothered to put her on any offical records that weren’t signed in blood and written on paper made of avian flesh, which given SCrooge’s experince is probably not the first time he had to get a person into official records who came into being by way of magic or some other weirdness.

Anyways, Lena opts out of the adventure because she’s worried about it going haywire and Webby opts out out of sympathy and while Violet is clearly keen to go, she gladly does so for her sister.. though this just makes Lena feel worse since now her girlfriend and her sister are missing out on stuff because of her, and suggests just going to sleep before she whoopsie daisy magics them to death. The girls end up woken from their sleep however by a bang at the door. It’s Gladstone!

Yup it’s time to talk about another character I haven’t talked about yet. Gladstone is easily one of the show’s best overhauls. See in the comics while Gladstone is just as lucky and lazy.. he’s also just..

Okay i’m amazed it’s taken this long for me to refrence jean ralphio in one of these reviews but i’m glad it was for this. Back on topic, while I know Gladstone in the comics has his fans, and is softend a bit in european comics, but in most stories i’ve read with him he’s an insufferably arrogant dick. Even BEFORE getting his luck, his first apperance, which I own in trade and read earlier this year, has him trying to take Donald’s house and kick him and the nephews out on the street over a drunken wager to take a polar dive, which Donald fials because life hates him and he’s a coward. Thankfully Daisy rushed in and saved the day because she’s great sometimes ,and turned things on him wiht his own drunken crap, but still, it says something when your first apperance is trying to force three ten year olds and your own cousin out into the cold.

He .. did not get any better once his super luck came into play. Instead he just flautned it all the time and tried to constnatly win Daisy over from donald.. which had varying sucess based on how much of a shallow dick she was being that story, and in general was just unplesant. He really only works for me in comic in those aformetioned softer times: when a writer makes his luck ruin his love life or add actual depth instead of him just being the raincloud on donal’ds parade. The original ducktales and the going quackers game are the only places I can think of he showed up otherwise, prototype in the old disney shorts nonwithstanding, and Ducktales Classic made him a nice guy from what i’ve heard. Thankfully frank and crew knew exactly what to do to adapt him perfectly: He still retains some aspects from the comics: Donald and Scrooge still hate him, Donald for Gladstone always winning and always having it easy while Donald.. is donald and thus utterly miserable half the time and on fire the other half, and Scrooge because he’s a lazy asshole who gets whatever he wants with the least effort, which didn’t change. What did change was his attitude. While he still is proud of getting whatever he wants in life with no effort and being “the best at getting something for nothing” he dosen’t lord it over everyone else. Sure he’s proud of it but he dosen’t rub Donald’s nose in how much better off he is on purpose, and genuinely loves his family, something I really coudln’t say about most versions of comic Gladstone. While he’s self serving he’s perfectly happy to share his luck with whoever else: He can always get more money whenever he needs it because of course he will. The other factor helping is , as with this entire reboot, the voice acting, in this case the marvelous Paul F Thompkins of Bojack and so much other stuff fame, who really sells the “Sleazy vegas layabout” vibe this series gives him, updating his old aristocratic asshole vibe to something more fun to watch and really being a treat anytime gladstone comes up. Gladstone singing in season 2 was entirely something Paul Improvised during his first apperance they made sure to use eventually. He’s a delight any time he shows up and a total 180 from his utterly agrviating original version.

As for why he’s here.. said luck. is gone. After being hit by some weird energy, Gladstone suddenly, since he didn’t see it hit him, finds himself living normally: going to a restraunt offers no free meal for being 100th custmoer or anything, his wallet dosen’t magically have 20 dollars in it, and the atm gives him 20 dollars.. which would seem normal except it’s actually usually a sack of rubys. Naturally Gladstone having coasted his entire life on his magical luck, has no idea how to function as a normal human being and is utterly hilarious as he breaks down. Admitely he’s not the biggest part of the plot, he’s mostly here for comic relief and COULD have been eaisly cut.. but he’s so hilarious and seeing him utterly fail at being a normal person and whine about things as simple as walking or going up stairs is just groovy. As for what weird magical bolt took it, Violet being violet figures it out quick: The Phantom Blot! For those unfamiliar, he’s a charcter from the mickey mouse comics, though I know him from one episode of house and mouse that adapted those comics that I need to read more of, a master schemer and old school villian par excellence and Mickey’s greatest foe. I was ecastic to see him come here and in the capable hands of Giancarlo Espisto. While I haven’t watched brekaing bad i’ve heard nothing but good thigns and he does his best with what little he’s given. But here instead of a master schemer he’s an infamous magic theif and is obviously the one who drained gladstone.. and unforutntely for scrooge the boys and presumibly everyone else... we see him in action using his fancy infnity guantlet esque magic draining gauntlet to drain the portal they took. Ruh Roh. It gets worse when he mistakes Lena for magica, and charges after her, though Webby is able to hold him off with the axe she grabbed on the way to the door earlier, and damages his gauntlet. he retreats.. but it’s obvious he’ll be back and both Webby and Violet come to the conclusion Lena needs to grasp her magic in order to survive.. and both have the same unfortunate relization: They only know one person who can do it and Lena, once she realizes what hteir thinking, wnats nothing to do with her, and neither do they. But they have no options: they have to go to magica. So they journey to her house on Dagobah, with Gladstone tagging along because they need a wacky comedic sidekick to help lighten the mood what with the serious, grim hunter wanting to murder a teenage girl inf nront of her tweenage girlfriend and kid sister, and their only resort being going back to her abuser for help. Magica however isn’t all that helpful at first. Being Magica her first move is to make a grab for the Amulet to get her power back, which her running crew thwart quickly but naturally Lena still wants nothing to do with her and Magica just insults her for not using magic and because she’s a terrible person. SHe does however end up changing her tune when she hears the blot’s involved. She whisks them inside while we get a cutaway to FOWL headquarters where blot is working on his guantlet more on him in a minute. We soon get the Blot’s backstory which is actually really inttresting and invovled even if it’s not a lot like who he is in the comcis or house of mouse: A long ass time ago before meddling kids got in her way, Magica took over a small vililage with the threat of destroying it and eveyrone in it outright unless they gave her tributes.. and when those got boring she just did it anyway. Problem was, as happens a lot when evil sorecerers calously destroy hometowns, one of them survivied. It’s even lampshaded by Magica as she points out Blot wasn’t the first. The problem was.. he was persitant. The blot never gave up, coming up with better tech to fight her magic each time and coming back stronger and likely more determined. I like this verson: While he’s not the bwahahah mastermindk, he’s still an utter threat, a force with an unyielding hatred and a burning mission to take out the target of his hate and anything like her. He reminds me a lot of toffee from star vs but if htey actually gave his backstory on screen. A meancing, somehwat quite, or mostly silent in the blot’s case, immortal menace who’s deterimiend to wipe out those who wronged him and anything related to them and has warped from what was once probably a decen tperson into a human engine of destruction with one goal and one goal only. He’s a good enoguh villian for the episode, I just hope if he comes back they give him better lines. his dialouge is really what dosen’t work for me as whiel his backstory and aura of meance work, Giancarlo is given nothing to work with line wise. He dosen’t need to be a chatty cathy or anything, just give him one or too really cool lines. Sometimes tha’ts all you need. Watch how the pros do it.

youtube

I do like this verison, I jsut think they could do more, but given the show has a good track record for only getting better with their villians with every use, I have no worries about that and he’s still a cool enough threat. I also wish we got more of fowl or why he’s working with them. just a small scene with one of them was all I asked, because we’ve barely gotten fowl this season. It’s really one of the season’s only real problems so far: 8 episodes in and while FOWL agents have shown up twice, adn one of the episodes did advance that plot by showing off heron and steelbeak, we really haven’t seen any progress on their plans to both take the missing mysteries or kill the Clan McDuck. HOpefully this changes as we go and again, it dosen’t ditract from the episode itself, jsut the season as a whole. Anyways, Lena is still relucntant because Magica is terrible and keeps slipping in how much she wants to take the amulet every five minutes. I love the show and catherine tate’s take on magica: just as hammy and nuts as before but when she does have magic, she’s the utter threat she was before too times ten. But yeah while Lena’s relunctant.. neither of htem really has a choice> Magica needs her amulet secure to get her magic back, and Lena needs to not die. So they relucntantly agree to work together among more hilarous sniping. Cue a training montage set to a hell of an 80′s tune. The show really has a good habit of making good incdental music to use in bits like this. Lena trains, uses gladstone as the training dummy, and it’s funny as it is creative and we even get some karate kids bit and the obvious star wars refrences. Meanwhile the blot approaches ever closer.. We also find out something important from Magica as she chastises Lena for having fun with her friends while training after Lena uses blue magic instead of purple: Turns out much like spellcasters in say owl house or my little pony each caster has a specific color to their magic, a Colur of magic if you will. Magica’s, and lena using hers is purple while the blue magic we’ve seen from her is her own powered by friendship and love. It’s a nice advancement of what we’ve seen so far: We’ve seen her magic powered by webby is stronger than her other stuff, and we’ve seen it come out during times their bond, or in the case of kilmotor hill her bond with everyone, is strongest. We knew something was diffrent with the magics and it’s now given a though and clearly well thought out explination why: Magica’s magic is hers and Lena was just borrowing it.. the blue stuff is hers and hers alone. Magica does try to get her to master it by having one of her friends shoot her.. Webby of course strongly objects so Violet takes it up since it is for study after all and her sister can take a hit. Lena also wonders how she can even do magic without the amulet, but as Magica makes clear, and as I outlined above, the amulet is just help. The blue magic is her. Lena fails to use it though to deflect in time.. and to make matters worse the blot shows up after plopping gladstone down and wants to kill them both. We then get easily the best laugh of the episode.. as Magica tries stage magic and the blot wonders what the hell he’s looknig at. I mean this is his mortal enemy, the monster who killed everyone he’d ever known or loved... pulling out a bunch of colored rags and asking him to pick a card. It’s amazing. Lena attacks from the side and Webby and Violet quickly asist, with Magica joining in to use the rope to bind him and Lena’s magic kicking in, turning the rope into chain and summoning a snake.. but in a show of badassery the blot easily shrugs it off: he absorbs the magic, escapes and knocks them around while Webby asks the snake for help.. can she speak snake? She hopes so.

Then things get dire as The Blot starts absorbing the magic.. and killing lena as she starts to fade away. Magica of course can’t even feign dispaointment in anything but loosing her magic. And that’s also something I really love here: The show makes no attempt to make magica better or turn around because it just isn’t who she is and even if she did after all the abuse she did, Lena would have zero reason to forgive her. It’s nice that they DON’T try redemeing her or shoing a brighter side: she’s a bad person, a worse caregiver and they only came to her because they had no choice.

But as the magic’s absorbed magica does tell her to find the source of the power and we get a great scene: She first thinks of all the abuse magica’s done to her and it’s a harrowing montage to watch. But webby, breaks through that, since that obviouslyf ails and reminds her of where HER magic comes from: Her and webby. and we get an adorable,a nd shiptastic montage as we see more clips from past episodes.. but this time we see their adorable fistbump from “Beagle BOy Birthday Massacre”, their hug from “Jaw$!” and Lena’s return to the world and hug with her lady and future sister from “Friendship hates magic”. IT’s her friends, her sister and the love of her life who are her real source of power, and her magic connects to htem as lena ccccchanges. And I mean entirely, her outfit changes and she gets these.. weird bright blue eyes. Like I like the rest of her outfits, a white and blue attire to show her change with a badass cape, looks like a superhero so naturally I love it.. her eyes just look really off. Like when Milo Muprhy’s law tried to give characters colored irses. Because no one else in ducktales has them it just loosk.. weird.. Otherwise though I like it. We then get a beam struggle, but with adde dhelp from her friends and her new power, Lena eventually beats the blot, as her sheer power overloads the guantlet and sends him running. However in the confusion the amulet was lost.. and Magica gets it back. Lena whollops her easily, pointing out her magic’s purpose is to protect the world from people like her. It’s a nice development too: Lena realizes MAGIC isn’t inherently evil... it’s how it’s used. Star Vs could’ve maybe taken this lesson, but regardless, it’s a nice bit of character development realizing that magic is a part of her IS Her, and she shoudln’t have to give up something in her nature because of her abuser. Magica, while repowered, is force dto lookf or her staff while Lena gladly floats team magic home. Also with the guantlet broken gladstone is back, as a rain of 20 dolalr bills he uses as tissues confims, and the portal returns, and with Lena you know, havin ga whole superhero outfit, glowing blue eyes and her hair streak now blue, they know something clearly happend and the episode just kind of ends. Still a good one. Final Thoughts: This was a good one as I just said. While I had my nitpicks here and there as I also said, Lena’s strong character, and the game performances of Espisito, Thompkins, and Tate really add to our usual trlo, and as I mentioned before it’s nice ot see team magic get their own episode now their a full team. IT’s just a good romp and a good way back. I”ve made my complaints clear but their drowned out by good jokes, good character stuff, and good worldbuilding that makes this an utter thrill and a great one to come back to and i’tll also be intresting to see where Lena goes from here. But wherever she goes she’ll have webby. They can be whot hey are, independent together, if theyt ry. And yes that’s my shiping song for htem and yes I have one.

Quick bit before I go I dind’t get to, Gladstone flirts with magica when she lands in his arms, a little something for the shippers and a nice gesture on frakn’s part. Whle she rejects him and he dumps her in the sludge with a shrug. I mean.. their probably going to bang at some point. Gladstone’s powers mean he’ll likely find her when sh’es super horny and more than willing, and he’ll be like “eh why not boobs”. I mean I thought about this: I figure his powers allow him to find a willing partner, any gender or none at all I see him as pansexual, who happens to probablyb e loaded and diseased free, whenever he happens to be into it who naturallyw orks out perfectly because if he gets money whenever he wants it, why not sex? It’s not even a concious thing as we’ve seen things just work out for him so of course he probably gets laid, and as we see here it’s only if the other person consets. Good for him. Hope to see him again sooner. I want to see more of him and della interacting and see what she thinks of him. Freshe eys andall that.

But yeah this was great to come back to. If you liked this i’ve reviewed the rest of the season up to this point and will be reviewing each episdoe every monday till they stop again, so keep an eye out for that. You can check the tabs on my blogs for more reviews, come back this weekend for regular loud house coverag,e follow for more reviews or shoot me a pm if you’d like to comission me to do an episode. For just 5 bucks i’ll review any episode of any animated show of your choosing, and as i’ve only covered one season 2 episode of ducktales, there’s over 40 left ot choose from if you have any you want to hear my thoughts on. Until then stay safe, quack hard, and Go Team Venture! Play us out Steg .. and Co.

y’all it’s been a month and i’m drunk so i’m gonna ramble

you know what FUCK HIM.

i have wasted my life focusing and obsessing over people who are not deserving of my loveliness.

Like i’m a disaster trashcan don’t get me wrong, but fuckin’....i’m worth more than people who don’t give a fuck about me.

there’s one guy right now that i’ve kinda been focused on for a lil while but I know it’s not ever going to happen so i’m just like...*shrug emoji*

but like...of all the people i’ve ever liked he’s probably the closest to someone i’d actually be happy with.

and i’ve been struggling with the whole sexual identity thing recently because honestly, i like dudes a lot more than i like the ladies - but I DEFINITELY like some ladies y’all. so like...i’m super attracted to the masculine, but I feel uncomfrotabel with that because I feel like...that’s not allowed?????

idk

Also I’m not sure how I feel about vagina...like...i don’t even like my own so how’m i supposed to like someone elses’sess?

Fuck

I have a super high libido but like I don’t have “sexual attraction” i think? unless sometimes??? fuckin...

y’all my sexuality has always been a grey space and part of that is because I’m gender fluid but my preferences don’t change with my gender so it’s like super...idk

I should not be doing a text post this far into my cups y’all.

but I got some good music and I got a Big Ass Bottle of wine (BAB) that i’m onlay like...a third thru. and I’m lookin to get CRUNK tonite.

my fucikn disliexia man. i can’t spell for SHIT anymroe.

but i dont’ have to TRY. like...ain’t no one gonna judge me for my spelling and if they do what the fuck ever man. I ain’t got no one to please but myself and I can’t fuckin’ spell.Never done been able to do so in the first place.

I just...

I’m trying to get my shit together and it’s really fuckin hard because I honestly...am not cut out for capitalism. I’m looking at alternative jobs until my dad can hire me on full time because fuckin...i don’t want to be beholden to a fuckin corporation. i just wanna chill and handle my schedule on my time. need to do banking? I can go handle that at any point in the day and not worry about how long my break is. Wanna treat myself to lunch? Fuck yeah, go to lunch and enjoy yourself bitch. Need a haircut? Just do it hunty.

I just...

I love the experience my current job has given me but i hate hte work. I don’t wan tot do it. how can I work from home and make a reliable amount of money? Maybe I start writing listicles. fuck yeah I coudl do that.

Mom gave me a super nice compliment last saturday. Apparently I write well when I’m inspired. So like...if I could do that for the rest of my life I totes would because I FUCKIN LOVE writing my thoughts out. y’all i’m so good at it too.

my glass is empty and i gotta pee...fuck...gimme a second.

...

aiight we back

fuckin...

So when I was younger my favorite bestest memories with my family were my parents and I just sitting down with a hockey game or anything paused on the fuckin tv while we just...sat and goddman...kibitzed. If that’s not a word it is now.

So in order to do the thing now I just turn my music up so I can’t ear anything else on whatever music app I’ve got while I get drunk as fuck and scroll thru the internet and shit.

I can’t fuckin read when I drink (barely can type so like...y’all if you can read this you fuckin amazing and you deserve a hug when I get to see you next) so like i’m limited. plus with the music up I don’t listen to videos I watch so...if I ever reblog a thing that the music is very bad (tm) let me know and I’ll listen to it properly because I probably did not listen.

I just...

fuck i just wanna make out with someone you know? I fuckin love kissing y’all. Kiss me all day long. I’m a fuckin sucker for it. Anyone. doesn’t matter if who you are or what your are or wahtever, I just wanna kiss you. cause like...that’s what I enjoy. no strings, no feelings (unless you want there to be). I haven’t had a proper makeout session in AGES. since I moved from c-burg. and even then that was...relatively not so great because dude could not kiss at ALL. i miss it y’all. i miss kissing so fuckin much.

And the saddest part of my whole life? i have had so few chances to kiss and make out and fuckin I spent the past four and a half years with someone who didn’t even like it.

I wasted that time when I could ahve been kissing someone who fuckin’ deserved it and wasn’t a self-centered asshole.

cause like..FUCK HIM. He fucked me the fuck over and wants to play the victim. I’m tired of trying to be chill about shit and the bigger person and not slander his fucking name because he fucked me up. I’m fucked the fuck up because of him! I am so screwed and I had some part in the failing of our relationship I don’t want to deminish that fact but frankly I was not the biggest contributer to the bad bits. Frankly I did the most to try and keep that hsit together and he did fuckin NOTHING.

I’m glad his mother lvoes him because otherwise he’s fuck out of luck y’all. Can’t even take care of his fuckin self. I mean I can’t take care of me neither but like...I’m better at it than he is.

I at least know how to run a household.

DANCE FLOOR COVER OF I’M WITH YOU HOLY SHIT OKAY MY 13YO SELF IS JUST HAVING A MOMENT OKAY???

but yeah like...i fuckin...bent over goddamn backwards for a grown ass man who couldn’t function further than a 16 yo boy and you know they ain’t got self-sufficiency. I was the younger in the relationship but I was lightyears (yes i know it’s a distance) ahead of him maturity-wise.

is it so wrong to want to be taken care of, for once? I’ve spent my whole life caring for others and caring for myself. can’t someone care for me? just occasionally. id on’t really ask for much. I honestly just want someone to be cuddly with me and care about me. Take care of me when I’m sick like I take care of them when they’re sick. not ignore me, or brush me off when I’m talking, but understand when I’m needing time to myself.

Someone to sit with me and listen to music and drink and have a good time. Watch comedy specials and fun shows that we BOTH like. or at least show some interest in finding out what I enjoy and maybe giving it a try. Do you know how many things I gave up entirely because he wouldn’t enjoy them? so many. mroe than I want to think about.

I jsut...

I changed my life for him and I can’t get what I had back for a very long time and I am so MAD. but like at the same time...fuck him, you know?

like...he doesn’t deserve any emotional energy i’m putting into this.

And...and the cats? Yeah...talking about that finally was a turning point for me. I’m still really fucked up about it but...I’ll move on. I lived so many years without anyone or anything relying on me and me not relying on anyone. I can do it again.

Shit I’ve been more comfortable since i movd out. I haven’t even really felt lonely. I just...there are some aspects of a relationship that i miss even though some of them I never had in the first place???

so i’ve been missing them since before I was in a proper relationship? I’m 27 and I haven’t had a partner who gave a shit about me, ever. I have never had anyone have a crush on me and if they have then they apparently didn’t give enough of a shit about that to bring it up. I’ve had crushes on so many people and I’m terrible with secrets so anyone I’ve had a crush on has been told.

and all of them are in happy healthy relationships. well. or halfway across the globe and I told them at the worst possible itme and I have like 0 chance because he definitely does not give a shit about me outside of frienship. but that’s fine.

it’s not but i’m going to pretend it is because...well...in some ways I’m more comfortable living in my fantasy world where i can maladaptively daydream about shit that will never happen because it’s easier.

anyway...

this has gone on for a lot longer than initially intended and i have no idea what iv’e written but i know it’s laden with typos. sorry abt that.

i love you all and you all are completely and utterly special to me. i hope you have a lovely evening/night/day and i want you to know that i care about you and your health and safety. don’t forget to drink water and get proper amounts of sleep for your situation. i love you <3

Nurse me

Trailcutter didnt know how he ended up finding Barricade, the hot cop car, half tucked under the bridge. He did know that the other looked way worse for wear that he expected. He had never really met up with the other, not after his drunken rambling fiasco, so maybe...maybe the other was always easy to hurt?

He rolled to a stop, checking that the traffic in the area was empty; good, not even a cop. It was holy shit in the morning, after all, and only the most persistant or sleep deprived of the humans would be out. And this was a rarely used road, anyways.

He slipped off the overpass quickly, glad his armor was mostly black and that the light was out where he had stopped. His digits took chunks out of the sidewall, but that was something that was easily replaceable.

He moved closer, scanning the other, checking him out. His side seemed to be leaking, large gouges torn out of the armor. What the hell had the other done to himself?

“Barricade?” He called out, curious as to why the energon was a strange, lightly glowing purple. Was that a new type of energon? He edged closer, unaware that hte other had been watching him.

“Not a step more, autobot.” He heard the throaty growl of the others engine as his biolights flickered, showing enough light on the gun clenched tightly in his hand. Trailcutter froze, his own biolights brightening in response, as his plating clamped tight to his frame.

“Whoa, ok, sorry, I didnt introduce myself. Im Trailcutter? We talked for a bit on the comm, dunno how I even...found you....” HE said, watching the other heave himself foward, gun still trained on his spark chamber. The glowing puddle under the other increased, making the outliers digits twitch.

“Hey, dont move, man, you are leaking pretty good! I can help you!” He said, edging foward, to feel the heat from the others blaster graze his thigh. His forcefield generator hummed to life in a blink, the palms of his hands glowing lightly as he forced himself to calm down. Didnt want to accidentally bubble himself in with an injured, irritable Decepticon.

“And why should I beleive you?” the black and purple mech growled again, hand pressed tight to his side, energon sluggishly oozing around the clawed digits. If the flow was slowing, that was either a really good sign, or a really bad sign, either of which Trailcutter wanted to confirm for himself.

“Im the mech who died for some cons, remember? Wouldnt be the first risk I took for anothers life, and probably wont be the last.” He said with a soft sigh.

“Look, I have energon and medical supplies. Do you want me to leave em for ya, or not?” He asked, hand lowering to reach into his subspace. Another shot was let off, sizzling past his elbow. His biolights brightened as he struggled to calm his spark down. Dont panic, dont need a bubble right now.

“Like thats going to help me.” Barricade rumbled, shifting his hand away. There was no way the other was going to be able to patch himself up, from where the wound was, with those claws. The con looked at his energon coated digits, then at the other mech, purple optics narrowed before he vented harshly, steam rising from his vents, tinted a very faint purple.

“Get over here. One wrong move, and your dead.” He said, to which Trailcutter nodded, pulling out the energon and thrusting it into the others hands, before he started wrapping torn lines and double checking that he got all the leaks. Anything else would take an actual medic.

Once the flow stopped, he glanced at the other, confused. Why wasnt he drinking? He tapped hte cube, to which Barricade growled, optics locked onto the others neck, denta grinding together.

“Im not hungry.” He growled, to which Trailcutter’s hidden optics narrowed behind his bright visor. He took the cube back, swallowing down a mouthful ( this slag tasted like swill, because of the low grade, but it was all he had, and he didnt want to get the other drunk while trying to heal) and thrust it back at the other.

“Its not poisioned, I promise.” He said, to which Barricade chuckled, shifting against the support pillar behind him.

“I cant drink this.” He said, swirling it lightly before giving it back. He started to get to his feet, growling at his lack of coordination, before he fell. Trailcutter was quick to catch him, making him lean on his chestplate as he looked down at the other in confusion.

“You are obviously low on energon. Why are you being so picky?” He asked, to which Barricade growled, a strange light filling his optics as he pinned Trailcutter to the pillar in a shock show of strength. His mouth opened more as he lunged for the others neck, piercing the others cords. Trailcutter did panic that time, a ill timed panic bubble popping up around them as Barricade started to...feed?

He froze, not wanting the other to savage the area he bit as he felt the draw of processor energon from his tank. He would need to refuel after this, but hey, whatever kept the crazed hot cop car going, right?

Eventually, he felt the other slow, the glow dimming in Barricades optics as the cop settled Trailcutter in the position he had just left, looking down at the other with a slight tinge of disgust. Trailcutter clapped a hand to his neck cables, slightly dazed.

When Barricade moved, he staggered, a strange buzz filling his frame. He drank too much, too fast, the mechs energon tasting almost like high grade. He put a hand over his mouth, tanks rolling as he struggled to keep it in his tank. He did need the energy, but damn......maybe next time ( if there was a next time) he could do this when he wasnt injured.

They sat in awkward silence as the bubble persisted. Trailcutter was drinking the cube he offered Barricade, trying to remain awake.

He jerked awake at the kick to his pede, glancing up at the other blearily as a cube of high grade was dumped into his lap. He took it and looked at it in confusion before he looked up at the other.

“See ya.” Barricade said, before he dropped into altmode and took off despite the massive damage in his door. Well ,that could have gone...worse, right?

Haunt Me! ~ An AHS Extended Universe Fan Fic ~ Part One

Tate “I don’t feel sad. I don’t feel anything.” actually he was scared. Lucy had somehow managed to become his friend. and he was worried she would become a victim of this house.

Lucy had been sneaking into the murder house every night for three months “I don;t believe that. I think you say it to try to scare me off so the other ghosts won’t hurt me.”

“ I ......can’t meet your parents. I can’t..... marry you. There is no future with me.” he finally said after a few minutes

“There doesn’t need to be a future. you’re my best fruend Tate. Please don’t push me away. you are my best friend.” she looked down “:you never would have been able to meet them if you were still mortal anyway Kyle.... i mean Tate. they were killed in the Hotel Cortez almost 2 years ago. By the ghost of maternal great grandfather.”

“It is okay. I am Here.” he had wondered why she was taking a haunted house tour in LA. He was just afraid to bring it up.

“it is okay. Mom told me to Run. the last thing i remember was screams and seeing their spirits standing at the window facing the alley. the hotel is like this house anyone wh o dies here can’t leave.”

“Who’s Kyle? You called me Kyle a few monutes ago.”

“I qouls ay it is long story but that would be a lie.”

Flash almost three years ago in New Orleans.....Quentin and Daphne had decided Lucy needed to experience life so they were taking a road trip. The car had broken down in New Orlead outside hte home of Alicia and Kyle Spencer.

Quentin got out of hte car and went up to the door and knocked and Kykle had opened hte door his mother was passed out. he was laways thankful fo those times “My mother is resting. What would you like?” he had asked

“My family and I are on a cross country roadtrip and our car broke down. My name is Quentin Collins.”

“Daddy, i know you asked us to wait in the car but i need to use the bathroom.” Lucy said as she blushed “I am sorry i was interrupting.”

Kyle looked at her “Mister Collins, the phone is over there and we have a phone book. MY name is Kyle Spencer.”

“Lucy.” they would end up spending almost a month in new orleans because the engine part that was required needed to be ordered and sent from anothr state.

Their second week there Kyle had taken Lucy with him to a Party at his friends “Lucy you said you’ve never been to party that just had teenagers.” he takes her into the basement where there are somepeople playing seven minutes in heaver/spin the bottle..

When lucy spun it stopped on Kyle. he took her hand and took her into the closet “we don’t have to make out if you don’t want to.”

“that’s not it. I;ve never kissed anyone and I can see sadness in your eyes. i saw it when you realized your mother was awake the other day.” she said and they would end up spending seven minutes mostly talking when they went otuside for some fresh air he turned to her and kissed her passionately.

“i hope we meet again Lucy.” he looked at his friends “If any of you assholes try to take adventure of this young woman while she and her parents are visitors to this town i wil l personally kick your asses.”

Present Day.....2011 Tate’s room “He told me his secret and i promised not to tell anyone.” she had told tate the whole story except for the conversation i nthe closet where Kyle had told her about what his mother had been doing to him since his father left.

“I can respect that though. If you ever choose to leave this place find someone who deserves you Lucy. You are genunely special person I keep telling you to leave and you choose to stay.”

Meanwhile in New Orleans....”You are full of shit. everyone knows you are big old softy dude. this music is totalyl amazeballs.” he had been searchign o nthe itnernet and come across an article about the deaths of Quentin and Daphne Collins and he cfound himself wondering.what had happened to Lucy. it didn’t mention her. he had decided that once this semester was over he as goign to take a trip to California and see if she was still there.

a few weeks later.......”Have you seen this young woman?”

Liz looked at hte photo “Not since the unfortunate deaths of her parents they were staying in this hotel and stranger.” she writes the words FOR THE LOVE OF GOD RUN! SHE ONLY LIVED BECAUSE HER PARENTS TOLD HER TO RUN! speaking “I wish i could be of more help young man. but i’ve been working here for almost 30 years and certain days are a blur.”

He left and as he was tryign think of plan he gt in his rental car and drove around looking at Art Deco Houses. as he Drove bast the Murder House. Tate had inssited Lucy get some fresh ar and somethign to eat if at all possible since she had spend three days inside that soul sucking house.

he reachign down to get the map and momentarily looked away from the road and lucy had been momentarily blinded by hte sun causing Kule Spencer to nearly hit the object of his search. he Quickly hit the breaks and they looked into eachother eyes at the exact same moment. and he got out of hte car “Lucy, thank god you’re alive i saw the article about hte remains of your parents being found in shallow grave.” he grabbed her and she nearl fainted. he stuck her i nthe car and buckled the seatbelt

Tate watched fro mthe window “at lwast one of us can be happy.” his mother had received word the house has bee sold to a family. “Be happy Lucy. You deserve it.”

an hour later in their spot at nearby sonic “OH. fuck. I just realized my room at the motel only has a single bed.” he looked at her “How did you live for three years without your parents.”

“2 1/2 years. There was an adendam to my father’s living will that said should anything happen all property in his possession at hte time of his death reverts to the possession his only legal heirs. so i sold rh car to the mechanic for 3,000 dollars and i was living in hostel until i realized there were drug dealers and prostitutes there and so i was spendign time in the mansion with Tate. he’s the ghost of the guy who died in the house almost 20 years ago.” she looked at him “I trust you Kyle.” she sfinished eating

“For such a small girl you can sure pack it away.”

“I havenlt eaten since yesterday.” she blushed she knew she hadn’t bathed in in about a week.

“I am taking you back to my motel room i wil let you sleep on the bed and you can sleep in one of my shorts after you take a shower.”

two days later “Would you ever consider being my girlfriend?” Kyle asked as they sat at the diner he was still trying to conceptualize that person he had been told was ghot had left lucy;s things on hte backporch for her to pick up with a note.

Lucy blushed and kissed him on the cheek “Yes. if you can accept me as i am.”

Six Months later.....New Orleans after the bus accident had killed his friends Kyle had been having hard time sleeping “Lucy stay in my room with me. he said as he he puts his head on his pillow. “YOu saved my life you know.”

“It was little selfish on my part though i just don’t want to lose another person I LOve to something that could have been prevented.”

“this road travels both ways.” he wasn’t sure if he could say he loved her. he did. she ha told him she loced him th day before that frat party. “I give you permission to wash below my waist. i noticed when i ask you to help me bath when i am tired you stop just above that area.” none of his friend really believed they were intimate in non sexual way. “I trust you.”

the day of the memoriial for his friends he held her hand and wouldnlt let go. “I trust you, Kyle.” she could see the embarassment in his eyes when he woke up aroused i nthe mornings. they had been sharing his bed for almost two weeks after the fineral he sat on the edge of the bed and started crying

he just looked at her “I need you to stay away from my mother. I have this sinking feeling that because of what she’s done to me most of my life if she finds out i am in love with someone she will try to kill you. I...LOve you. i know that now. and I don;t want to lose you.” he looked at her “ever since that day at the party three years ago you burrowed your way into my heart. I thought it had been destroyed by Alicia. but the lioght around you gave me hope. the chain of events recently made me realize I need you.”

“I want you to tell me exactly what happened hte day your parents died.”

2009......Hotel Cortez LA Daphne Harridge Collins , Lucy’s mother had woken up that day with emmense sense of dread in her soul. She and Quentin Waited until Lucy woke up “Lucy. I have this premonition that your father I are about to die if anything goes south we want you to save yourself. we;ve already oacked your duffel bag. “

Quentin “The Darkness in this hotel is deeper and murkier than collinwood and its master means to claim us soon.” that evening just after they finished dinner James March appeared in their room.

James “I hope you enjoyed your final meal.” he said in matter of fact tone. Without another word he lunged at Quentin and slit his throat but it was clear he wanted it to be slow death witnessed before he killed the others. wile he was focused on his death he hadn’t noticed o nthe prerifery that Lucy was sneaking out of hte room with her duffel bag and as she walked away she could hear screams of anguish and maniacal laughter coming from behind her and after she had stopped running. she rested against a building.

She stood outside the police station but she doubted anyone would believe her. She constacted her Father’s Lawyer “Monty. my parents were just murdered in the hotel we were staying in.”

“You’re not any safer In collinsport than you are in that hotel. Gabriel snapped and killed everyone in the house Except for Galen.” Desmond was in the fct the only one who knew Galen was Quentin’s son and not Gabriel’s “Find some place to stay for a while.” Monty wasn’t just Quentin’s attorney had been Lucy’s Godfather.

Present Day 2012.....”My Cousin Galen is the only blood relative i have left in the US.” she said

“It’s okay. I’m not gonna leave you alone.” h was goign to do his damndest to protect her and love her. “Keep this with you.” he said as he reched over into a small box on his boox shelf and took out his class ring from high school and placed it on the chain with her locket.

“Why is hte stone blue?”

“Somethign about it called to me an the first time i saw you your eyes sparkeled like the stone in my class ring. these things are the things i brought with me when i moved out of Alicia’s house.” he kissed her passionately. “when you are ready tell me.” he said “I don;t want to force you like she always did to me.” he whispered in her ear “your touch turns me on. I never thought it would feel good to be touched. You said your only livign relative in the united states.”

“My father has cousin who live in France. we were planning on gopoing to France and Rome for my 21st Birthday.”

“We could go. MY degree gives me hte option of studyong abroad for two semesters i could ask if they have program in Rome. The only flaw i nthe plan i was never realyl all that great at learning french or italian.”

“My grandmother taught me french and three other languages.” she said.

To Be Continued.......
