Kdramas i've watched this year

Some of these are older dramas but i'm a procrastinator

Black Knight (2023): Loved this one! I have watched it probably 5 times now. Kim Woobin kicking ass is all i need!

Under the Queen's Umbrella (2022): I didn't watch this when it aired (no idea why). I was worried that the plot would be overrun by romance but thankfully i was wrong. Loved Kim Hye-Soo's performance (i cried a little).

Island seasons 1 & 2 (2022-2023): Honestly i only started this one for Kim Nam-Gil. I loved the cast, but the flow of the plot was a little off (don't know how, i can't put a finger on it). Was positively suprised by Cha Eun-Woo's acting, i think he needs more roles like this! Hot villain alert no.1! Sung Joon as a bad guy is either a blessing or a curse. Cgi could have been better.

Taxi Driver season 2 (2023): Loved the first season so of course i had to watch the second one. Love Lee Je-Hoon. Love the main characters. Love the plot and the message of this drama. A masterpiece. Waiting for season 3.

Weak Hero Class 1 (2022): Only heard of this drama wayyy after it aired (thanks tiktok) and god does it deserve every award there is! I was a bit hesitant because Park Ji-Hoon was the main lead, but boy was i wrong because his talent got me speechless (weren't we all). I cried, i cheered, i shadowboxed, i cried a little more and in the end i called my therapist. Thankfully season 2 is coming.

Bloodhounds (2023): Woo Do-whan and Lee Sang-Yi in the same drama beating people up? Yes please! The plot wasn't mindblowing, but sometimes just simple ass kicking is enough. Bromance was bromancing. Park Sung-Woong with another great villain character.

Revenant (2023): After dropping Mr.Sunshine i wanted to see Kim Tae-ri in other dramas, so when this aired i gave it a go. Her range is phenomenal! I have only seen couple spookier dramas, so i made a mistake and watched this at night (slept with the lights on). The eerie vibes and plot twists were well made. Hong Kyung had great chemistry with Kim Tae-ri and his cop role was refreshing to see after his performance in Weak Hero Class (if you know you know).

Flower of Evil (2020): Okay, this is one of the dramas i procrastinated hard on. It's been sitting on my "have to watch" list since it aired and i'm the only one to blame (i hype up a drama in my mind, then don't want to watch it because now i'm afraid it doesn't go the way i think it does and then i get disappointed blaablaablaa). This year i finally got over myself and why. didn't. i. watch. it. sooner!!!! It is all i ever wanted in a kdrama. 1. serial killers 2. a psychopath (but is he really?) w/ an effed up childhood 3. mindgames 4. marriage problems (but has a lot of soft & cute scenes) 5. Lee Joon-Gi. Also as a plus (hot villain alert no.2) the bad guy is kindaa (i'm sane i swear). I would be lying if i didn't say that i found the wife slightly annoying (might be me, but she went too much back & forth and sometimes i had to take a breather while watching), but all in all this drama will be hard to top and i fell in love with Lee Joon-Gi.

Moving (2023): Honestly one of the best dramas of the year. I don't usually really go for plots that have a lot of romance in them (if you haven't noticed), but i found this one to be really well balanced and the romance scenes weren't "cringy". Although Bong-Seok and Hui-Soo were great and had great chemistry, i looooved the background stories of the parents. Park Hee-Soon also pops up as kind of a non-villain villain. I hope there is a season 2.

Song of the Bandits (2023): Kim Nam-Gil again. 1920s Korea and gunslingers... what more could i need? After Mr. Sunshine left me with a disappointment (this might be an unpopular opinion) i craved for a drama set around the same time period, but with a little less romance (i know, i am defective). I think dramas should explore this time period more, but i understand it might still be a touchy subject. The skills of the cast were obviously great, Kim Nam-Gil killed his role like always, but Lee Ho-Jung as Eon-Nyeon shined with her performance (i am now a new fan). Hot villain alert no.3! I have seen Lee Hyun-Wook in Remarriage & Desires and seeing him as a villain made me feel things. If there isn't a second season i will cry.

The Killing Vote (2023): A "serial killer" in a dog mask making the public vote on punishing criminals and everyone suspects each other? Cyber crime? Chemistry between two cops? Major hot villain (no.4)? Sign me up. I love when crime dramas make you question your people reading skills (i have the tism so i really got none) and have all kinds of theories flying around. I liked that even Kim Mu-Chan and Joo Hyun had obvious chemistry between them it didn't overshadow the main point of the plot. I liked Seo Young-Joo's delivery and i hope he gets more bigger roles. Kim Kwon.... why does the psychopath have to be hot? He also needs more bigger roles. !spoiler! Also Park Sung-Woong killing (heh) yet another morally grey character.

The Worst of Evil (2023): Okay, first of all i have to say... the wife ruined everything (some agree and some don't). We get another bromance duo of the year with Wi Ha-Joon and Ji Chang-Wook. Loved the crime organization infiltration plot, heavily despised the romance plot (sorry Bibi baby). I was constantly on the edge of my seat and the characters started to get so morally grey that in the end everyone needs group therapy. Action scenes were chefs kiss. A honorable mention goes for Lee Shin-Ki as Seo Jong-Ryul (or Chief Seo, knife guy, the man has many names) and Bibi for her performance as Lee Hae-Ryeon.

Evilive (2023): Heavily underrated. Kim Young-Kwang doing what he does best, playing a psychopath. This combined with a bromance plot with the one and only bromance master Shin Ha-Kyun? I'm sold. The dramas literal title "villain story" really sums up the plot. Sometimes you are not sure who to cheer for. Sometimes you are not really sure about your own sanity. But to be fair, so aren't the main characters.

Vigilante (2023): Love it. Currently re-watching it. Needs more attention. Needs more episodes. I'm in love with Nam Joo-Hyuk. The best crime drama of the year, the title is all i needed to hear. Beating up criminals in well made action scenes is my favorite genre. No romance. One sided bromance? Morally grey characters (am i repeating myself now?). Yoon Ji-Tae as a beefy cop and Lee Joon-Hyuk as a slightly insane admirer? If we don't get a season 2 i will start a riot.

I saw a bit in a Taylor/Amy fic (the latest chapter of Desperate Times Call for Desperate Pleasures) where Amy compared Taylor to a Necromancer Princess (it fits in Context) and that immediately made me think of a Fantasy AU of Worm. No shards/powers, or at least not in the Worm way, but playing with the characters.

And of course that has me thinking about who everyone would be in such a story idea:

Taylor - necromancer, obviously, given the inspiration. Maybe not a princess, but of some high birth. Danny Hebert is still his canon personality, but as a necromancer. Probably a distant father since the death of Annette. Maybe he's consumed with trying to find ways to restore her to full life or something. Doesn't control bugs, maybe? Or maybe she controls swarms of dead insects in addition to or instead of the usual skeletons and zombies? I'd lean to no bugs, just skeletons and zombies, but YMMV. Keeping her bullied/etc experience may be harder, but if Emma is also a noblewoman, perhaps of higher status (maybe Taylor's low nobility? Or not at all?)

Amy - she's a cleric of some healing-related goddess, presumably? The rest of her family are probably all Knights and Paladins of some sort. Her birth father could be some sort of Bandit King type guy who played up a 'honorable highwayman' schtick (and may actually have been a noble as well as a bandit) akin to the 'code' and 'better than the other villains' thing he had going in canon. Her guilt over not healing all the time probably wouldn't be a thing because there'd be too many other healers, but you could still play with the idea, and she'd still have that separation from her family because she's not a warrior.

Tattletale - no magic, just really smart. Probably a 'Rogue', if we were applying classes to it.

Rachel - Ranger, obviously. Has a wolf animal companion, maybe actually gainfully employed as one of the Royal Huntsmen or someone who prevents poaching on a King's Forest type place. or maybe she's a poacher herself. Probably the latter, but the former could be done well, IMO. Either way, definitely still pretty feral from not spending a lot of time around most people.

Brian - maybe some kind of Paladin of darkness type thing. He could be sworn to Taylor's father as her bodyguard (and Taylor still has her canonical attraction to him).

Alec - I'm honestly not sure. If I were wedging it into D&D classes, some form of Bard, but I wouldn't necessarily want to be bound specifically to classes. Still, he could either have magic specially around manipulation and controlling of the body, or maybe he's like, half-demon, or quarter-demon (and Heartbreaker is either a demon or half-demon) and that's the source of his power. I lean towards the latter.

Aisha - Illusionist? Uses her magic for lots of pranks and stuff, and gets really good at making herself invisible, etc.

New Wave - as I noted, the rest of New Wave would probably be knights/paladins of some sort. Maybe Vicky, Sarah, Crystal and Eric ride griffons or some other flying beast? Vicky on a Pegasus sounds really fitting. Also probably a noble family, but definitely recently ennobled or low nobility, to play into the privileged WASP upper middle class vibe New Wave has in Worm

Lung - could be an actual Dragon, could be a guy who shapeshifts into one, maybe a half-dragon (playing on his half-chinese/half-japanese canon backstory and how he was an outsider in Japan as a result). Warlord or roaming bandit type guy, probably. Oni Lee would be a teleporting assassin who works for him, and Bakuda as an alchemist making explosive compounds and such is there.

Armsmaster - a master Smith and warrior. Already has a Halberd. maybe he does enchanted runes into his weapons or something to make them sharper

Miss Militia - either she's a super skilled archer of some sort, or maybe a magic who specializes in big, flashy attack spells (fireball, etc)

Dragon - Secretly a construct (or disembodied animating spirit?) of some kind that has free will and sentience, but pretends just to be a construct-crafting mage? Might not be able to keep using that name if Dragons are a thing in-setting. Depends.

Kaiser - probably a normal noble in his public face (Max, of the House of Anders), known for his charity towards the poor (only the humans, of course), but secretly the leader of a racist militia-type group that persecutes nonhumans in the Kingdom? Or specific groups of humans. Or both. Probably doesn't have magical powers, but does have some cool enchanted gear he paid a fortune for, and hides just how good he is with a sword, except in his secret persona?

Hookwolf - actual werewolf? Still works for Anders, presumably.

None of these thoughts are necessarily final, really, and I have a few more, but nothing quite formed yet.

Obviously, more might need to worked out, including plot and the particulars of the setting (is Brockton the whole Kingdom? Is Brockton Bay one city? A major focus? Maybe Brockton Bay is a larger region, and some of the various parts of the Bay are distinct cities and towns in the Bay area. I have a setting that involves both Paladins and Necromancers in prominent roles that I might repurpose if I was going to write this... which I still might, but not yet).

Other characters could play all sorts of roles, would have to think more on their equivalent versions. Can't just make everyone some flavor of wizard/warlock/witch/etc, and wouldn't want to be married to specific 'classes', but it's a solid starting point anyway.

What would you all envision 'Fantasy AU' versions of some of the characters? Do you think I'm way off the mark with some of them? Obviously 'Fantasy AU' covers a wide swath of possibilities, so there's a lot of variation. Still, curious as to people's ideas with it.

Obviously, if I wrote it, it would be Taylor/Amy in the long run, (I am nothing if not a predictable, hopeless shipper) maybe involving Taylor (and the AU's version of the Undersiders?) kidnapping Amy at some point, who knows.

the missile is eepy

pairing: lee felix x reader

type: blurb

warnings: none this is soooo fucking soft

request: yes

NOT TAKING REQUESTS AT THIS TIME/CLEARING INBOX

masterlist | info

————————————————

felix had arrived home at a decent enough hour that night. he happily ate the dinner you made him and held a nice conversation before taking over the kitchen table to finish up some work. all of the boys could feel another comeback on the way even if they hadn’t gotten a date yet, and they were all feeling the pressure to deliver good music for their fans. felix spent the rest of the evening with his headphones on, listening to some tracks chan had made, bopping his head and scribbling some lyrics into a notebook.

you were content to leave him there for as long as he needed, tending to the laundry and a few other chores you’d let pile up from the work week. time flew by and when you collapsed on to the bed, you noticed that it was almost midnight and started to feel the exhaustion hit you. felix would probably want to keep working so you thought you’d try to get some sleep until he would eventually come to bed. he didn’t have any schedules tomorrow which meant you both could sleep in if you wanted. after flicking off your bedside lamp, you snuggled into the sheets, bringing the comforter up to your chin.

sleep proved to be more elusive than you thought as you turned from side to side, then felt hot and had to kick your leg outside of the blanket before getting worried about monsters and putting it back inside. the point was: you couldn’t sleep without your koala. everything felt so empty and naked without him, having grown accustomed to the way he snuggled you every night as you drifted off. it felt like your skin was electric, crawling without the steady pressure he provided you every night, like a human weighted blanket.

with an exasperated sigh, you reach over to your phone, the time glowed.

12:45

he’d worked long enough, you decided and shuffled into the kitchen. stopping at the entry way, you took in his appearance. he was hunched over his computer, a knee tucked into his chest. his blue light blockers rested on his nose and though he was writing with a pen, he still had a pencil behind his ear. his long hair with faded color from the last comeback was messily tied up in a half ponytail and you started to realize that when he changed after work he had put on one of your tshirts.

god, he was so beautiful.

without a word you unceremoniously threw your leg over his lap and straddled him. a surprised hum turned into a low chuckle as he removed his headphones and tucked his face into the crook of your neck and exhaled deeply. felix had been so immersed in his work he had forgotten his surroundings and suddenly felt the way his eyes stung as he closed them for the first time in hours. his tight shoulders finally relaxed with the weight of your arms slung across them and he fully melted into your touch, letting the full weight of his exhaustion overtake him.

“it’s time for bed, lixie.” you mumbled cutely with your cheeks squished against him.

he could hear how tired you were but the guilt and desire of wanting to finish resounded in his gut. the aussie thought about his group mates and how hard they worked, especially chris, and he didn’t want the burden of songwriting to rest solely on their shoulders. he also thought about stay and how they deserved well done music and his hard work.

as if you could feel the wheels turning in his mind within the silence—you did— you reached up and playfully smacked the back of his head, still wrapped up against him. once again you felt the rumble of his body vibrate against you as he chuckled at your antics.

“the missile is eepy! he’s had a long day of splashing bandits!” you childishly fussed at him.

felix let out a laugh, knowing the tiktok you were paraphrasing that you likely sent him, picturing the tired cat in his mind. he then let out a long sigh, knowing that you were right and that it was time to sleep, also that you wouldn’t let up on him any time soon.

“fine. you win.” his deep, tired australian accent sighed out.

with you still clutching to him, he saved his work before closing his laptop and lifted you by your bum so he could carry you back into the bedroom. the two of you settled into your comfy bed, your head resting on his chest and his arms ever wrapped around you. the sound of his steady breaths and thumping heartbeat had you asleep in no time.

“good night, my angel. i love you.” you heard the quiet whisper and felt his gentle kiss before you drifted off.

what's your opinion on ben

Oh Ben, oh boy

I think Ben Paul is great character for the narrative of Season 1. He’s scared, flimsy and makes a shit ton of mistakes. While I don’t really have any personal connection or real “love” for him, I feel like he perfectly rounds up the Season 1 crew.

I believe it was cut content, but the bandits were the same people who… did things to those who lived alongside Ben at his camp, so him being scared of them totally makes sense to me and should genuinely be a common consensus around the fandom.

The one thing I won’t forgive him for doing is living Clem on the street alone, but otherwise I feel like he fulfills his purpose as the scared kid (I think he’s 17-18 tho? Still a kid compared to the others) who can’t seem to get himself together

As for his deaths, I think those are very good actually. The Bell Tower one has good meaning, Ben knows he’s fucked everything up and just wants it to end and Lee can either grant him his wish, or keep belief in him.

The Alleyway death, while I feel like the way he fell was a little flimsy, is a great way to round off his relationship with Kenny and to end his arc of panic in a peaceful way.

All in all, I think when it comes to how he was written, Ben is an A tier character in my opinion. As for my personal favorites, I’d have him Low A-High B.

Can you plsss do a switch lee and ler pomni and gummigoo tickle war! :)

I can certainly try!

Passing Time

Summary: Pomni helps her new friend Gummigoo pass time after the truck crash in quite an interesting way

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well this was quite the unfortunate situation.

Pomni and Gummigoo had been run off the trail where they were chasing the bandits who stole the maple syrup and technically Gummigoo was one of those bandits but he seemed nice enough and now they were stuck at the bottom of a ravine with nothing to do.

“Soooo…what do you like to do?” Pomni asked the gummy gator, trying to make conversation and the gator glanced her way. “Well I like to talk with my mates during missions, count the stars at night to keep myself busy on long nights. How about you?” Gummigoo asked her, turning to the little jester who looked at her feet.

“Well when I first came here to this digital world I didn’t really know anyone and was really scared but that was before I met my friends Ragatha and Jax, I like to talk with them and go on adventures with them to keep myself sane.” Pomni explained, smiling in Gummigoo’s direction, “Kind of like you.” She remarked and he smiled at her.

“Yeah kinda.” Gummi replied, gazing at the sides of the ravine. Eventually Pomni got an idea, she stood and picked up a rock off the ravine floor and used the rocky walls to sharpen that rock to a point and began drawing with it on the first flat surface she could find.

“What are ya doin?” Gummi asked her, standing up and walking over to where the jester was drawing. “I’m drawing.” Pomni replied and he nodded, observing the drawing of herself she was creating.

“It’s rather good.” Gummi told her and she turned to smile at him, “Thanks! Do you want me to draw you too?” Pomni asked him and the question caught him off guard, nobody’s ever asked him that before.

“Sure kid.” He replied and she grinned before turning back to her drawing and starting the one of Gummigoo.

They say in silence for a while more, Gummigoo had leaned up against one of the walls and had his head back and his hat on his face sleeping before being jolted awake as Pomni exclaimed that she was done.

After being woken up the gator stood, placing his hat the right way on his head before wandering over to look at the work. It was a drawing of him and Pomni side by side and for a digital world surprisingly well done.

“Nice drawin kid.” Gummi told her and she smiled at him, “Thanks.” She replied, walking away from the wall and pacing back and forth.

Seeing that Pomni had figured out what to do once more, he just stared at her confused and slightly impressed. S(Bonk!)t this kid knew how to be productive.

Since Pomni was still pacing and at this point muttering to herself he decided to go back to his earlier plan of sleeping, walking back over to the stone wall and sitting down to lean up against it before once more tipping his head back and covering his snout with his hat and dozing off.

Gummigoo got to sleep for a good 25 minutes before being awoken again by the sound of a thump and a loud yelp. He took the hat off his face and looked to see what made that noise and quickly his eyes landed on Pomni who was now on the ground.

“What happened kid? You alright?” The gator asked her, standing up and walking over. “Y-Yeah I’m okay..I tried to climb the wall to see if that would be a way out, it didn’t work.” Pomni replied, rubbing her head from where she supposedly fell on it.

“Gotta be more careful.” Gummi told her before helping her up and walking over to the edge of a chocolate lake and throwing little gumdrops (rocks) in it.

“What are you doing?” Pomni asked him, walking up beside him as he handed her a gumdrop. “Throwing stones, it’s oddly relaxing you should try it.” He replied and she looked down at the little object in her hand before chucking it at the lake and smiling when it seemed to go far.

“Nice throw kid.” Gummi praised her, glancing her way before throwing another. Pretty soon they ran out of rocks to throw and were bored once more.

Gummigoo walked over to the stone wall and leaned up against it, watching as Pomni walked back out to the stone floor and started pacing one more, “What’s up with this kid and pacing?” Gummi thought but didn’t ask her about it.

A few minutes later Pomni had gotten an idea and walked over to one of the stalagmites sticking out from the floor and broke the sharp end off. “Kid?? That’s sharp what the f{Boing!} are you doin??” Gummigoo asked her, alarmed by what she was doing with the large stone.

“Don’t worry Gummigoo I’ve got this!” Pomni exclaimed, carrying the stalagmite over to one of the corners of the ravine and planting the sharp end in the ground before dragging it across, attempting to write a message in the cocoa powder dirt.

“That’s…actually pretty smart. Good on ya kid.” The gator told her and she threw a thumbs up and a grin in his direction as she continued dragging the object across the ground.

A little while later Pomni had finished and heaved the rock over to another side of the ravine before brushing her hands together and admiring her handiwork.

Gummigoo noticed that Pomni had finished with what she was doing so he stood up fully and walked over to where she was standing. Pomni noticed that he had come to stand beside her so she pointed at the message and he looked down to see that it read, “Help.” How typical.

Gummigoo turned his face away and placed his candy snout in the hand, snickering softly catching Pomni’s attention. “What’s so funny?” Pomni asked him, grinning as he turned around to face her once more.

“Thahat won’t cuhuhut it kid. We gohotta wait.” Gummigoo replied and she crossed her arms over her chest with a mock-offended huff. “You don’t know that.” Pomni told him, sticking her tongue out like a child making his snickers start up again.

“Whahatever gets ya thehere kid.” He replied, going back over to the stone wall and leaning up against it once more, watching as Pomni started to pace again. How would they get out of this ravine?

~*~

Up on the surface the truck crashed and the bandits were tied up nearby and the rest of the circus were standing around. Kinger and Gangle were playing rock paper scissors and Ragatha and Jax were bickering again.

“Come on Jax we need to think logically! How are we going to rescue Pomni?” Ragatha snapped at the rabbit, folding her arms across her chest. Jax shrugged and grinned at her, “Come on Dollface Pomni can take care of herself, she’ll be fine.” Jax replied and Ragatha turned away in thought.

“That is true but still I want to make sure she’s okay.” Ragatha told him, turning back around with a determined look on her face. “Gangle!” Ragatha called out to the ribbon girl and she turned, momentarily pausing her and Kinger’s game.

“Do you have any idea where Pomni might be?” The doll asked and she shook her head no with a small sob, Ragatha nodded in understanding and turned to the chess piece.

“Kinger? What about you?” Ragatha asked him and he placed a hand on his head, thinking. “I don’t know but I do know that they toppled off the cliff that way.” Kinger told her and her eyes lit up as she spotted the cliff he was referring to.

“Yes! You’re the best Kinger!” Ragatha exclaimed and shooed everyone into the truck, the cliff was a ways away so they still had to get there but Pomni would be rescued soon.

~*~

“Ughhh I’m so f(Sproing!)-ing bored!” Pomni exclaimed, sinking down to sit on the ground. “Well not much we can really do about that kid.” Gummigoo told her and she groaned, placing her face in her hands.

“All we can do is wait.” Gummi told her again and she grumbled, annoyed by the lack of things to do, it was a lot different at the circus, Caine was there and he always had something for her and her friends to do. Where’s that ringleader when you need him?

Gummigoo then tipped his head back and his hat onto his snout, folding his arms behind his head which gave Pomni an idea. An idea that Caine would always have her and the others partake in and it would sure pass the time here.

Slowly she crept up to the gator, careful not to startle him and inform him of her plan, she crept closer, watching the ground for rocks and twigs and finally she got close enough to him, kneeling beside the gummy alligator, this would be interesting.

She then reached a single finger out and poked him in the side. At first she didn’t think that did anything before she noticed how much he had tensed up, “Oi what was that for?” Gummigoo asked her, lifting his hat off his face and looking at her.

“You wouldn’t happen to be ticklish would you?” Pomni asked him, a smile slowly creeping on her face as she poked him again and again causing him to stumble away from her. “N-No what kinda question is that?” Gummigoo snapped at her with more aggression than preferred, only proving Pomni’s statement.

“I think you are~” Pomni sang, climbing on top of him when he fell back, trying to escape her hold. “W-What makes ya think that?!” Gummi snapped at her again and she grinned before tapping the spot under her eye indicating that he was blushing, s(Bong!)t.

“Now let’s prove this theory…” Pomni told him before lowering her hands and scribbling over his stomach causing him to flinch and curl up, giggling almost immediately.

“I knew it!” Pomni exclaimed, happy to have learned this about her new friend, “K-Kihihihihid wahahahahait!” Gummigoo protested, holding his hands out in front of him but Pomni only used that as an opportunity and snaked her hands under his arm to tickle him there.

The gator quickly slammed his arms down and started wrestling with her to get her off. “Ahrihihight thehehen, tahahahake thihihis!” Gummigoo exclaimed before reaching his claws up and scratching at Pomni’s ribs.

The little jester crumbled with a giggly yelp, falling off the gator and onto her back, Gummigoo taking this opportunity to get her back. “Hohow do you lihike that!” Gummi exclaimed victoriously as he scratched over her ribs, her on the other hand batting at his hands.

“Ahaha! Guhuhuhummigohohoo!” Pomni laughed, gaining a mock offended look on her face as he laughed with her. “Dohohohon’t lahahaugh at mehehehe!” Pomni whined, reaching up again and scribbling over the gator’s sides, getting him once more.

“Nohohohoho good kihihid ihits nohohot bahahad for me thehehere!” Gummigoo told her but then she got a more determined look in her eye before reaching both her arms up and practically hugging him before flipping herself and him, effectively swapping their positions and lifting herself from him, going for his hips.

“Thehehen how about hehehere?” Pomni asked him and he bucked, bursting out laughing and crumbling more than the previous spot. “Thehehere’s my ahansweheher.” Pomni grinned at him as he tossed his head back and laughed, they would be here a little while.

~*~

Back with the other group, Ragatha had her head out the window, Jax and Kinger were out of the hatch and Gangle was driving. “Any eyes on them yet Dollface?” Jax called from the top of the truck.

“Not yet!” She called back, “Oh Pomni where are you..?” Ragatha trailed off, going back to her seat. “I’m sure we’ll find them Ragatha.” Gangle spoke up, also looking out for them.

“I really hope so.” The doll remarked, gazing out the window longingly. At that moment Kinger and Jax returned from the hatch and wandered over. “Any luck?” Kinger asked them and Ragatha shook her head.

“Not yet but we’re looking, hopefully we’ll find her soon.” Ragatha replied, glancing back at Jax who just looked indifferent. “You doing okay back there Jax?” The doll asked him and the question startled the purple rabbit but the grin quickly returned to his face.

“Never better Doll, touched you care though.” Jax replied in his same snarky tone making her roll her eyes, they’ll find them, it just might take a little while.

~*~

Back with Gummigoo and Pomni, the gator had managed to overpower her once more, having her flat on her back and going after her neck. Her shoulders were scrunched up and her face was covered by her hands as honey-sweet giggles poured out of her.

“Guhuhuhummigohohoo!” Pomni giggled, batting at the other’s hands once more as she ‘fought’ him off. “Yehes kid?” Gummigoo teased her, moving his hand down and wiggling his claws into her stomach making her curl up and laugh harder.

“Wahahait a mihihinute!” Pomni exclaimed before taking hold of his tail that was resting nearby and scratching over the candy spikes. Immediately the gator fell off her with a yelp, dissolving into loud cackles as she ‘attacked’ him.

“K-KIHIHIHID WAHAHAHAIT!!” Gummi cackled, tail flicking violently in her hold. “Are you sure you’re not enjoying this? Your tail is a dead giveaway~” Pomni taunted him with a laugh and he shook his head, covering his snout with one hand and pounded his fist on the ground with the other.

Pomni laughed along with him until she started laughing nearly as hard as he was moments ago as she felt two hands knead at each of her outer thighs, apparently Gummigoo had managed to muster up enough strength to ball his claws into fists and get her back.

Quickly the roles were swapped once more, being practically the main thing needed to stand Pomni fell over onto her side and the gator quickly scrambled on top of her and continued tickling her thighs.

“H-Ha! You wohohon’t gehehet me thahat easy..” Gummigoo pressed out through his giggles, currently amused by the fact that he was playfully tormenting the little jester.

“GUHUHUHUMMIGOHOHOO WAHAHAHAIT!!” Pomni screeched, kicking her legs and thrashing about through bouts of laughter. “Wait? Nahhh I don’t think so mate.” The gator teased her and she lay there, laughing hard until she somehow gained a burst of energy and escaped his grasp, quickly stumbling away from him and breathing hard.

“Thahahat…wahas ehehevil..” Pomni pressed out, “Yeah? I’m a bandit kid and you know what?Because of that comment I’m about to be more ‘evil’” Gummigoo grinned at her, standing and readying himself into a running position and charging at her, Pomni bracing herself the same with a grin as he did so.

~~~~

“Guys we found it!” Ragatha exclaimed, hopping out of the now parked truck as they finally reached the cliff where Pomni fell down. “Nice job Gangle!” Kinger exclaimed as he and the ribbon girl stepped out of the truck.

“Oh yay we found it, now can we find Pomni and go home? I’m getting sick of this f(Splat!)-ing place.” Jax muttered, leaving the truck and wandering over to the cliff side.

“Oi Pomni!! You down there?!” Jax shouted at the space as the other three joined his side. A few beats of silence save for the occasional rock tumble and then they heard her. “Yeah Jax we’re down here!!” Pomni yelled back up at him, backing up into view of her team and seemingly with a yellow and green alligator.

“Don’t worry Pomni we’ll get you out of there!” Ragatha called down to her and Jax scoffed, “Speak for yourselves I did my part.” Jax told them before wandering off. “Pomni take this!” Kinger called down to her before quite literally throwing an anchor on a rope down the hole.

They watched the anchor descend before hearing it hit the ground with a loud *Clang!!* “You okay Pomni?!” Ragatha yelled down at her again and Pomni shouted back a few minutes later.

“I’m okay but no more anchors preferably!!” Pomni yelled and Ragatha chuckled a little, “Will do!”

~*~

Eventually the team got Pomni and Gummigoo out of the hole. “So who are you?” Ragatha asked Gummigoo as they rode back to the candy kingdom to return the syrup.

“Names Gummigoo.” The gator replied, “Your jester friend here makes for some good entertainment, good time passer too.” He finished, grinning at Pomni whose face flushed red.

“Oooo Pomni’s face is redder than Dollface’s hair, what happened? I gotta know.” Jax spoke up, grinning as Pomni shot him and Gummigoo death glares, “Don’t you dare.” Pomni snarked at the gator but he only shrugged.

“She’s ticklish as hell.” Gummigoo replied and immediately Pomni’s gaze shot to Jax and his shot to hers, his grin quickly grew wide and a mischievous glint entered his eyes.

You know maybe some things are best kept secret….

(So sorry this was late, it’s short as well but I did my best, this was my first time writing for tadc but I hope you enjoyed! ^^’)

hello sorry if you've been asked this recently but could you recommend some good adult trans books 👉👈 no worries if you don't!!

there are lots of good ones and i've fallen out of the loop since i left my bookstore job! there's sometimes this attitude that trans writers can only be successful in some genres but there are great trans writers in lots of genres! so have tried to include a mix of genres here to highlight some of that abundance, and because i don't know what you like so want to include many things that i think might spark your curiosity.

i'm leaving a lot of classics off that i'm sure you've heard of or have been told to read, as well as some stuff i read that i didn't love and don't feel i can vouch for. there's also lots of good stuff for younger readers (have esp heard good things about sisters of dorley hall and when the angels left the old country) which is really heartening when i remember furtively reading the one trans novel for teens at my library when i was little! and i like that there are trans characters for younger readers now who don't have tragic endings. but anyway:

i really like anything by casey plett, particularly her novel little fish! i loved ivan coyote's rebent sinner for kind of autobiographical vignettes as well as gender failure which they wrote with rae spoon. gretchen felker-martin and alison rumfitt are big faves if you like horror, they're both so smart and unsparing. your body is not your body if you want a good taste of lots of different trans horror authors. the seep by chana porter for meditative sci-fi. the fifth wound by aurora mattia which is hard to describe but v gorgeous. paul takes the form of a mortal girl if you want something kind of carefree and horny and fun and not devastating or upsetting. summer fun by jeanne thornton if you've ever been like what if velvet goldmine were based on the beach boys. i like confessions of the fox by jordy rosenberg but i think the ideal audience for this book is like transmasc grad students who are horny in a neurotic way so it's not for everyone. stone fruit by lee lai was my favorite graphic novel of 2022 and it's a really beautiful examination of breakups and caring for children as a queer person and also forgiving your family. gaylord phoenix if you like your graphic novels weird.

books from my own to-read list that i've heard good things about from people i trust (have included author names only where the title alone isn't specific enough to find the right book):

wrath goddess sing (if you like mythology remixes)

a natural history of transition (magical realist short stories)

manywhere: stories (unsettling also magical realist short stories)

chromatic fantasy (graphic novel, trans guy nun has sex with the devil and has a romance with a robin hood-type trans guy bandit)

finna (gay trans multiverse travel in an IKEA)

X by davey davis (bdsm psychological thriller)

idlewild (transmasc fujoshi tumblrinas have a toxic bestieship)

girlfriends by emily zhou (slice of life short stories)

boys weekend (graphic novel, bachelorx weekend turns into a cult murder mystery)

the boy with the bird in his chest (magical realist coming of age)

the call-out (gossipy novel in verse)

nettleblack (victorian transmasc hijinks)

the story of silence (medieval n magical french trans hijinks based on the historical poem)

unfortunate elements of my anatomy (horror short stories)

bad girls by camila sosa villada (magical realist coming of age epic)

apsara engine (south asian graphic vignettes)

future feeling (funny bizarre sci-fi)

everyone on the moon is essential personnel (cyberpunk body horror weirdness)

im like, what, 10 years late to the whole walking dead game thing but i was way too young back then to understand the game. i hope people still enjoy it, its a really good game (and sad) but im only up to season 3 right now (i only really liked s1 and s2) but im not finished so i cant really make decisions rn

i just want to talk about ben rn and evaluate him cause im rewatching it and now that hes my favourite i notice more things about him now. (i literally look at him everytime hes in frame even if its just showing the back of his head oml)

but anyway i see a lot of ben hate and sure i get it but i dont at the same time ben is so silly how can u hate him

- to start, when we first met ben in the woods, he’d already been through some stuff, like he saw his classmate off herself and turn into a walker, his camp got raided and he was left with 1 friend and his teacher (who both still die btw) so most of what he had left before the apocalypse was gone

- when lee is rationing out the food, if he gives ben food first, kenny comes and tells lee that there’s kids that need food too, and ben literally is like ‘sorry i didnt want any trouble’ like cmon, and he’s literally a kid too he deserves the food as much as anyone else

- on the train he is interested in the controls and being up there, so we can see that he generally enjoyed it. but once lee gets the engine going, kenny comes and ben immediately has to go babysit katjaa clem and duck (he is also visibly upset) AND THEN later on lee asks how ben was doing and he says ‘im watching the girls and not working on a mega cool train’ (let him on the train immediately 😠😠)

- ok, so maybe he did sneak supplies to the bandits and i think this is just me being biased but i feel like him giving the supplies held off the bandits a little. i mean think about it, they moved on from the st john’s farm and started taking from the motel, right? im not sure how the bandits asked ben (if they made it clear then i forgot) but if he refused wouldnt the bandits come attack even earlier? i mean they needed the supplies right, and if ben didnt give them anything to begin with they would have raided the motel anyway. i mean they knew where they were even before the st john incident. idk its just a thought

- i think it was cool how ben managed to confess to lee that he was the one who slipped the bandits supplies. like you can tell ben is a good guy cause the guilt was almost literally eating him from the inside. and even though ben isnt one of the bravest people, he still confessed knowing that lee’s reaction wouldnt be pretty. (also his stance when leaning on the train railing was so silly to me)

- after they meet christa and omid, ben tells lee that his biggest fear was to be eaten by the walkers. i mean he literally said that if he got bitten he would off himself 😢😢

- also ben was always referred to as a child but he was never treated like one, everyone excpected him to be brave and strong but in reality he was just some scrawny highschool student who was scared and couldnt live up to his impossible standards. man, i really just wanna give ben a big hug

- if you tell ben to “kill anything that gets in” he responds with “you know you’re talking to me, right?” poor ben

- even though his biggest fear is getting eaten by walkers, you still have the option to leave him behind, and let him go at the bell tower. i mean how could u do this to him hes already gone through enough

- lastly, the part where ben tells off kenny is literally iconic, that scene singlehandedly made ben one of my favourite characters of all time, i was like everyone else, i didnt care about ben because i thought he was a bad guy since i never really payed attention to him. but i swear when he was telling kenny off it felt like i was being told off too. i mean his point was valid too, kenny had his family to say goodbye to, and ben (and literally everyone else) never got to see their family, (or they saw them as walkers, lee and clem,, :( )

- i know the last point was meant to be the last one but cmon its ben i could type this for ages longer but yeah. he had the literal best character development in the game. at first he was some stupid kid who was always messing up and before he died he was an amazing character who deserved literally everything. omg i cried so hard when he died cause when he fell i was like, oh i think its ok the fall wasnt too far and he said he only hurt his leg, but bro once we saw what really happened my heart sank bro it was so sad i really hoped nothing bad happened to him ☹️☹️ but i think kenny did the right thing cause like we said, his worst fear was the walkers getting to him. gosh i feel like i watched his death for the first time ages ago and i still cant stop thinking about him man

anyways, i would literally do anything to give ben a massive hug, he did his best and he was literally so funny too :((

(thanks if u read this far btw, i just wanted to rant about this man i love him so much and i will defend him with my life) 😠‼️

౨ৎ.𖥔˚ toph beifong — crush and relationship hcs with a chi-blocker martial artist s/o

— 𝜗𝜚 inspired by the should've been ty-lee x reader hcs i had in my drafts for a bit until i deleted it and the korra hcs 🫶🏻 also these exist because this is self indulgent writing ; my own avatar insert is a chi-blocker hehe 👍🏻

— adding onto that, some of these act like general toph hcs, and there's a somewhat long part at the beginning which explains the backstory i based the hcs off of but it still gives you the freedom to insert an oc or yourself in there (unless you/your oc is a bender in which, i'm sorry but you're a chi-blocker here 😓).

— had to rewrite the crush hcs 3 times bcuz i kept closing my tumblr on it w/o saving 😭 drove me flippin insane /j

— also a sort of rewrite of the toph hcs so that i can give it the formula i usually do when i make c&r hcs 🫶🏻

𔓕 ⸝⸝ ꒱ sumi radio ; bad romance by lady gaga

ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚ heads up ! — reader's parents are really adamant about keeping the air nomad descendant thing a secret, to the point where it may be a little excessive and annoying. describes reader as "diligent" & "independent" (and nothing else!).

— your descendants were descendants of the air nomads who existed 100 years ago, and since the massacre have integrated themselves into the other elements' kingdoms in order to avoid the fire nation from finding out some air nomads were still alive. and so, here you are, born in the earth kingdom as first-class nobility.

— some of your descendants riskily ventured into the fire nation (reference to the "ty-lee is an air nomad" theory), others went into the water tribes, others like you ventured into the earth kingdom, and some went alone into the world. in your case, you (and your sibling if you have one) were born in the earth kingdom while your parents integrated themselves via fake names and entirely new clothes. you grew up knowing yourself as from the earth kingdom, but with an unexplained difficulty to earthbend however you inherited the ability to chi-block from your parents' lineage, having them teach you in private when you were old enough to learn and perfectly handle yourself, and telling you about your lineage when you would inevitably found out about the whole 'air nomad descendant' thing. you were told to keep it a secret for as long as you live as to not arise suspicion from anyone who could inform the fire nation, in fear of death.

— likewise, you were told to keep your chi-blocking under tight wraps as to not arise suspicion of your heritage, and when the time came to teach "earthbending", they claimed you were a nonbender (and you are a nonbender) and instead trained you in a special martial arts technique ; close enough to the quick, agile and floaty style of chi-blocking and your airbending heritage to integrate chi-blocking into it, but with enough of a mix of the martial art styles of the earth kingdom that no one would be suspicious of a foreigner possibly hiding amongst them, let alone an airbender. over the years, you mastered your own martial art technique to utmost perfection, alongside secretly honing your chi-blocking by practicing into the night (aka beating up benders somewhere while no one was looking or would be suspicious, which gained you a reputation similar to toph with earth rumble 6).

— (also you never learned airbending.)

— you often watched earth rumble 6 as a way of entertainment and to secretly gain inspiration to add to your mastery of your martial arts, perhaps to add to your skill because you're already perfect (🫶🏻). and on one of your trips, you saw toph (as the blind bandit) for the first time. a little familiar, you may or may not have recognized her but she doesn't seem like she wants her identity to be revealed anytime soon. you were very intrigued by her earthbending skills, and even more so by her unique style of earthbending, nothing like you've ever seen from anyone you've seen fight there before.

— and soon enough, you recognized that face from a meeting your parents had with lao and poppy beifong. their daughter looked exactly like the blind bandit ! after getting some consent from you and your own confirmation that 'yes, you'd like to teach toph some of your own martial art style', your parents made an agreement with their parents and had allowed you to teach toph privately (of course with some (of their and your own) servants and bodyguards on watch to make sure either of you doesn't get severely injured while training, but they get dismissed during breaks because they have no reason to stick around, they can just be called whenever you or toph needs something from them).

— as the days passed when you taught toph your own style of martial arts, you two grew closer as friends and sometimes you two would talk and open up to eachother when taking breaks between training sessions. you found out that she was the blind bandit, and entered the competition behind her parents back (of course she told you in a way that the servants and bodyguards wouldn't tell lao and poppy), how she felt about her overbearing parents, and her desire for freedom and independence. however, you didn't have much to tell as you didn't open up as fast as she did (she didn't open up fast, but eventually she did. you just took longer 🤷🏻‍♀️) because the mentality to keeping the air nomad descendancy as a secret stuck around and you had to find out whether toph would truly keep it a secret (or if she even knows that the air nomads are supposed to be dead).

— after weeks of seeing whether toph was trustworthy and building your friendship with her by telling her other things about yourself, you opened up to her one day during a break between training. and naturally, showing toph your chi-blocking... someday when she runs away. you promised to come with her, not only to keep her safe (because you care, and later because you love her) but to stay with her because you wanted to use your martial art and chi=blocking prowess for good and [insert your own reason for running away from home].

— you came along with her when toph ran away from home (with you promising to keep touch with your parents and send them letters or whatevers every once in a while to let them know you're still alive and doing well) and joined team avatar with her. toph really only talked with you in a less distant way since you were the person she trusted most and the only person that truly understood her there.

— focusing more on the crush hcs, toph's crush on you first started as admiration for your strength. for the first time, she saw your true strength and techniques that allowed for your true potential to shine ; your chi-blocking combined with your martial art technique. she saw how you could handle yourself, how you were able to both defend and attack enemies at the same time. she underestimated you, even dismissed your prowess purely because you were a nonbender, but now she sees your true strength, and she admired it, how you were able to handle yourself and be independent (whether its only in battle or you truly are independent).

— not only admiration, she enjoyed how you cared for her. always keeping an eye out for her, and guiding her in situations where her feet can't. not because she was blind, not because you pitied her for being "helpless" and "fragile", because you simply cared for her (and because you love her).

— after overhearing how you loved her too, she confronted you about it late into the night when no prying eyes could watch, shutting up your love confession with a kiss that signifies the fact that she loves you too.

— later that night when you told her you'd be turning in for the night, she moved your sleeping bag into her earth tent (and every time you camp, next to her sleeping bag) immediately as you laid down.

— she'll never admit it to your face, but she enjoys cuddling with you, more so jetpacking. the training doesn't stop either and nothing about it really changes (maybe moments of flirting here and there but other than that none), other that the breaks turning into brief soft moments where you two can be vulnerable in peace. where just like old times when it was just you and her, you two can enjoy eachother's company and love in peace with no prying eyes. these times when you two are just alone and vulnerable with one another are times she cherishes and loves the most.

— at first, she definitely isn't the most perfect s/o. fights and arguments are rather occasional because it's toph, often due to a miscommunication that your care for her stems from the same reason her parents locked her in ; that you think of her as helpless and fragile due to her blindness. but it later gets resolved as toph accepts and realizes that you just care for her because you love her. you don't want to see her hurt, so you care for her and look out for her. not to say that that's the only topic that spawns arguments, that's just one out of them all.

— she gets really upset when people try to pursue you esp. when she's right there, and definitely is an aggressive jealous type. she'll throw rocks and pebbles at them until they (or you) get the hint and leave you alone, playing either the blind girl card or just outright demanding they leave you alone (and that you're already taken by her).

— power couple. POWER COUPLE. you two are definitely a power couple feared on a level on par with the avatar.

— (also when team avatar was practicing their plan to take out the fire lord, you and toph were chucking rocks at everyone atop the place where the "melon lord" stood.)

— remember that the general c&r hcs still apply here ! 🫶🏻

The Walking Dead Game What Ifs: What if Clementine’s Mother survived?

[First] [Previous] [Next]

Surviving Parent

What if Clementine’s Mother survived? Prompt Submitted by Worker72 on AO3

Requests On Hold

Diana groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose. Vernon was rambling about leaving before Crawford found them, Brie was agreeing with him, Boyd was arguing that they should continue to lie low and look for more medicine and Joyce and Clive were keeping quiet. She’d stepped out of the room to stop her headache from growing worse, only to find a man stumbling though the entrance hole to the shelter.

Diana stared at the man, who gaped at her. The man continued to stare at her, before she realised who it was, “Lee Everett.”

The man, Lee, blinked, “How’d you—”

“I kept up with your trial.” Said Diana, cutting to the chase, “You’re not the type of person Crawford would keep around.”

“I’ve only just heard of them.” Said Lee, looking at her, “You know anyone there?”

Diana let out a scoff, “Who would I want to know? My husband was bit when everything went to shit and—” Her voice cracked, making her clear her throat, “and what other family I had are dead.”

Lee stared at her for a moment, before speaking, “Clementine.”

Diana froze, before pulling her gun out, “Why did you say that?”

“You have a daughter, and her name was Clementine, right?” Asked Lee, slowly walking forward.

Diana’s heart stopped, “Y-you said ‘have’.”

“Clementine’s alive.” Said Lee, “I, er, stumbled across her, after a road accident.”

Diana frowned, “What happened?”

Lee looked at the gun, “Could you… lower the gun first?”

Quickly disarming the gun and putting it away, Diana looked at Lee expectantly, “Well?”

Then Vernon opened the door and found Diana and Lee, “W-what?”

“He’s not from Crawford.” Dismissed Diana, “None of them knew my daughter.”

Vernon looked at them, before stepping back out of the room. Sighing, Diana looked back at Lee.

“The police car I was in crashed, I barely managed to get away from the Walkers chasing me when I climbed over your fence. I went into your house, looking for help and, well, met Clem.” Explained Lee, “She managed to save me from the babysitter. She was bit at some point.”

“But,” Diana swallowed, “but Clementine’s alive?”

“Yeah,” Nodded Lee, “I can take you to her, if I can find my way out of here.”

Diana nodded, “Give me a moment.”

After introducing Lee to the others, and Lee mentioned that one of his people had an injured leg. Eventually, Lee was being led out of the sewers by Diana and Vernon. Lee filled Diana in, telling her everything that happened in the past few months. How he and Clementine met, how he took care of her as best as he could, he told Diana about the cannibals and that they stole from an abandoned car and that they’d been forced to leave it all behind after someone started giving some to a group of bandits, how a boy got bit, and one member of the group killed another member. The boy started to turn, and the boy’s mother committed suicide, leaving Lee to put the boy down.

Diana didn’t know what to think about Clementine being taught how to use a gun, but then she learned about some stranger talking to Clementine. Following Lee, they entered the house, Diana saw a drunk man with a moustache in a trucker’s hat, a teenager and a tall woman coming down the stairs.

“Lee!” Gasped the woman, “You’re alive!”

“Yeah,” Nodded Lee, “Christa, where’s Clementine?”

“No idea.” Shrugged Christa, “She’s done her vanishing act again.”

Diana sighed before looking at Lee, “So, where’s this injured man?”

“Upstairs, Christa can take you.” Said Lee, making Vernon follow Christa, “I’ll go look for Clementine.”

“How much of this house has she explored?” Asked Diana, not moving.

“All of it.” Answered Lee, before frowning, “Well, except for that shed outside.”

Nodding, Diana turned around and walked outside, with Lee following her. Coming to a stop outside the shed, Diana took a deep breath and spoke, “Clementine?”

There was a beat of silence, before Diana got a shaky response, “Mom?”

Hearing Clementine’s voice, Diana choked. Lee started removing the vines covering the doors, before opening them. Clementine stared up at her mother, before rushing forwards and hugging her, “I knew you and Dad were alive.”

Diana bit her lip, before kneeling down so she could look Clementine in the face, “Sweetie, your… he… Daddy didn’t make it.”

Clementine stared at Diana, before burying her face in her mother’s chest.

Diana stayed at the house with Lee’s group, spending time with her daughter. Vernon had gone back to the bunker, currently, Lee’s group was discussing about going to Crawford for the medicine and the things that the drunk, foul mouthed one needed to fix the boat Clementine had found. Her eyes then fell onto the radio, she picked it up, Diana pressed the broadcast button, “Hello?”

Clementine looked up from the drawing that she was doing, as her mother frowned at the radio.

“Hello?” Repeated Diana, before scowling, “I’m talking to the pervert trying to manipulate my daughter.”

Diana glanced at the door as Lee walked through it, before turning her attention went back to the radio.

“Okay, I’m going to take your silence as confirmation that you’re a paedophile,” Said Diana, “I don’t know why you decided to screw yourself over and, frankly, I don’t give a fuck. If you contact her or are even near her again, I’ll blow your fucking brains out.”

Releasing the broadcast button, Diana looked at Lee, “So, what’s the plan?”

“We’re gonna take some guys to Crawford,” Said Lee, “get the stuff Kenny needs to fix that boat and the medicine Omid needs.”

Diana frowned, before nodding, “I’ll stay here and watch over him.”

“Can I come?” Asked Clementine, looking up at Lee and her mother.

“What?” Frowned Lee, looking down at Clementine, with Diana doing the same.

“Can I come to Crawford?” Asked Clementine, “I wanna help.”

Lee glanced at Diana, who, after a few moments of thought, nodded, “It’d make sense for all hands to be on deck, even if they are small.”

Clementine beamed up at them.

The group had been gone for a little while; Diana had dispatched of a Walker that’d gotten in. Omid was asleep, leaving the house in an eerie silence. Sighing, Diana located a book in the house’s library and started reading it. Then she heard the front door open, she didn’t hear anyone else, so it was unlikely that it was the others returning from Crawford. Grabbing her gun, Diana snuck up to the door.

After a moment, a man slowly walked into the library. Diana didn’t recognise him, only raising her gun to the back of his head and pulling the trigger. The corpse fell to the ground, like a marionette that had its strings cut. Diana stared at the body, before going through it’s pockets and finding some keys in one pocket and a radio on his belt. Sighing, Diana shifted the body outside and locked the doors, before she went back to the book she found.

Kenny fixed the boat after they got back. Brie and Ben were dead, Diana found that Ben was the one making the deal with the bandits back in Macon. Diana showed Lee the Stranger’s car, which he confirmed to be the car they robbed form.

Then, they had another problem; who would go with Kenny. Kenny offered them a place on the boat, which Diana declined, and Clementine chose to be with her mother. Diana made sure to tell Lee that he was welcome to come with them if he wanted. In the end, Kenny would be taking Molly, Christa and Omid with him.

Bidding tearful goodbyes, and promises to always look out for them, the two groups parted ways. Lee, Diana and Clementine took the strangers car, helping Kenny take the boat to the water, with their final goodbyes. Lee drove through the streets of Savannah, before turning onto the interstate, the small group heading out of Savannah. None of them knew where they’d be going, but they’d decided to let the winds guide them.

Next Story: What if Clementine decided to kill all the Cabin Group members?

Synopsis (synthesized from magazine summaries of the plot):

Judith Sanford (Frederick) inherits the sizable Blue Lake Ranch after the unexpected death of her father. Upon her arrival, she discovers that the ranch’s manager, Trevors (Clary), has been systematically undermining the value of the ranch. Judith confronts him, fires him, and wings him with her pistol as severance.

The horse foreman, Bud Lee (Santschi), had suspected Trevors’ dirty dealing, but questions if he can work for a woman. Regardless of his doubts, Bud respects Judith’s goals and remains loyal to the ranch.

As there are still men working on the ranch loyal to Trevors, Judith’s employees are divided. One of Trevors’ hires, Quinnion (Curtis) rebukes Judith and suggests she can’t even ride. She challenges him to bring her a horse he thinks she can’t ride. Judith successfully rides the wild broncho and Quinnion is cowed, leaving the ranch bitterly. The incident wins Judith the respect of the men, including Bud and Carson (Pallette), the cattle foreman.

Judith’s next point of action is tracking down the staff Trevors ousted, most importantly the ranch vet, Doc Tripp (Clark). Tripp returns and uncovers that disease-infected animals have been intentionally introduced to the ranch’s stock. Judith runs Trevors’ vet, Crowdy (Appel), off the ranch.

Hampton, a city boy and one-third owner of the ranch, is unhappy when he hears of Trevors’ firing and decides to pay a visit to Blue Lake. (In reality, he’s dodging his creditors.) The visiting socialites are rankled by Judith’s cowgirl togs and no-nonsense demeanor. Alternately, the ultra ladylike Marcia (Calhoun), Hampton’s fiancee, finds a new devotee in Bud.

On the night of their arrival, Judith learns that the employee she sent to collect the payroll has been robbed. Bud races to the bank overnight to return to pay the staff the following day. As Bud is on his way back, his horse is shot out from under him, but he manages to reach the ranch just in time.

That night, Bud and Judith set out to track down the bandits and recover the stolen payroll. At a cabin in the mountains, they catch the robber after a shootout and find it’s the discharged vet, Crowdy. They agree to stay overnight to guard the injured Crowdy. To pass the time, Judith pulls a book from an unexpectedly well-stocked library in the cabin and sees that the books belong to Bud! They’re interrupted when Quinnion attacks to save Crowdy and another shootout ensues.

Fortunately, Judith’s absence from the ranch was noticed by Hampton. He has mounted up with Bud’s assistant, Tommy, and they arrive in time to save the pair and manage to capture another of Trevors’ agents, Benny (Barley). Benny is locked up, but is freed overnight, meaning there are still more of Trevors’ men lurking. Bud pledges his loyalty to Judith, but then has a romantic foray with Marcia.

Despite the hubbub, the annual Blue Lake dance is held. Carson kits out the workers in suits mail-ordered from Sears-Roebuck, which they accessorise with guns and ammo belts. Bud, it turns out, has a tailored suit of his own that he unpacks and presses for the occasion. He is bewildered when he arrives at the dance and sees a perfectly feminine Judith in a fashionable Parisian gown. Fully enamored with “the real Judith,” Bud whisks her off to the porch and kisses her.

Judith is surprised to find an urgent note from Doc Tripp awaiting her after the dance. The note explains that he has uncovered another Trevors mole and has been wounded. Judith rushes to Tripp, but is waylaid and kidnapped. She manages to remove the mask from one of her abductors and it’s Trevors himself!

Three days pass. Hampton suddenly orders Carson to prepare 500 head of cattle to be sold at a loss. Immediately suspicious, Bud rides to the ranch house and is told that Judith left for San Francisco three days prior. Given Hampton’s fishy assumption of command, Bud and Carson tie him up while they investigate Judith’s real whereabouts. They discover the forged note and confirm with Tripp that he didn’t write it. With mistrust toward Hampton building, they place him under guard and ride to confront Trevors.

In all that time, Judith has been kept prisoner in the mountains by Quinnion. When Quinnion attacks her, Judith seizes an opportunity to escape, but quickly learns that her prison is set among perilous cliffs. Quinnion gives chase, they struggle, and he plummets to his death. Hopelessly lost and exhausted from her ordeal, Judith makes a last ditch effort for rescue by lighting a signal fire before losing consciousness.

Bud and Carson find Trevors and a wild fist fight breaks out. Bud trounces Trevors and Trevors is forced to leave town for good, but not before revealing where he’s hidden Judith. Bud rescues Judith and they all return to the ranch. After they have had time to recover from their respective tribulations, Bud and Judith reunite and embrace.

Points of Interest:

Pauline Frederick made 55 silent feature films in her career. Of those 55 films 45-6 of the films are presumed lost or mostly lost. [One film’s status is unclear ATM.] Of the 9 known to survive, 3 are incomplete (2 are missing at least one reel and the 3rd survives in an abridged cut). Of the surviving 9, three have had home video releases [Three Women (1924), Devil’s Island (1926), and Smouldering Fires (1925)]. Of the 6 surviving films that haven’t had home-video release, 2 have been screened publicly in the past decade [The Love the Lives (1917) and The Moment Before (1916)]. A very rough record for a big star (who didn’t spend most of their career at Fox) to only have a 16-18% survival rate.

——— ——— ———

Winifred Dunn, prolific writer from a young age working in many genres, wrote/edited 33 silent features, 20 of which are presumed lost.

——— ——— ———

Two Kinds of Women was part of the schedule of R-C Pictures’ releases for early 1922. This was a crucial moment in the history of the company, as it was soon after re-organized into F.B.O. The founders exited the company, but so did Pauline Frederick, Sessue Hayakawa, Tsuru Aoki, and Doris May—their biggest stars going into 1922.

While the contemporary critical response to TKoW was generally positive and exhibitors across the US and Canada cited good ticket sales, it didn’t leave much of a legacy. At least one contemporary critic, Laurence Reid, considered the film of decent quality but ultimately forgettable. Whether TKoW would have stood the test of time or not, we can’t know. Lost or not, I’m sure the re-organization of TKoW’s distributor affected its potential for long-term popularity. There is at least one instance from after the re-org of a theatre owner receiving a faulty print of the film. So, even by 1923, it was hard to come by a decent print of TKoW.

The reason I’m confident in placing blame on R-C/F.B.O. is that, of the slate of 20 films they released in late 1921 and early 1922, 16 are currently presumed lost and only 3 appear to be completely extant:

Lost: The Lure of Jade, The Sting of the Lash, The Foolish Age, Eden and Return, Five Days to Live, The Vermillion Pencil, A Wife’s Awakening, Silent Years, The Call of Home, The Barricade,Two Kinds of Women, Boy Crazy, Salvage, The Glory of Clementina, Gay and Devilish, and At the Stage Door Extant: Where Lights Are Low, The Swamp (would live to see this one BTW), and Beyond the Rainbow

hi!! could you do reader formerly apart of the motel group that was presumed dead (maybe lost in the bandit raid?) settling in at ericsons’s eventually a few years after and reuniting with clem in s4? it’s random and oddly specific but I hope you find it interesting enough to pursue! thanks :)

A/N: Hello!! I’d be happy to, I hope you like it!:) This kinda reminded me of Michonne and Jocelyn in TWD (minus the kidnapping kids part…) because I was rewatching S9 lol

Warnings: Assumption of death, Usual TWDG stuff

Clementine x Reader

If she was being honest, Clementine had completely forgotten about you. Maybe not completely, if someone randomly said your name she’d remember-but still, not a lot. You were a memory she’d shoved in the back of her head, forgotten but still there. She thought you’d died a long time ago.

You on the other hand, never stopped thinking a bout her. Not just Clementine, but the whole group. You forgot some people’s names, but remembered Clem’s because of how unique it was.

You’d been through countless groups since then, most had either died or just split up slowly. You made many friends along the way but none you remembered as well as Clementine.

One day, Clem was playing war with Louis and Violet.

“Alright, I get to ask Clem now.” Louis said.

He coughed before speaking.

“Someone you remember from an old group?”

Clem thought about it for a bit. They all knew about Lee, Kenny, and now obviously Lilly. She kept thinking, almost like sifting through files in her mind. She’d told them stories about basically everybody-then she remembered you.

“Hm, well there was this person in my first group. They were my friend. I miss them, they died during a raid from bandits that I told you guys about earlier.”

The table went silent.

Then, it was broken by yelling. Rosie began barking.

The three shot up and ran towards the gate.

Clem could make out 3 shadows. Two of which she knew was Aasim and Mitch. The other stood hunkered down between the two.

“We found Them Right outside the old safe zone.”

Clem walked farther towards them.

Her eyes widened when she realized.

It was you.

“Y/N?”

“Clementine?”

You both ran to hug each other, memories instantly flooding back.

“I thought you were dead.”

“I thought you were, too.”

The high of seeing an old friend quickly warned off when you both noticed your best friends, parental figures even, weren’t with either of you. You both assumed the worst.

You and Clem spent hours that night catching up.

Clem told you about Christa and Omid, The cabin group, Carver, Arvo, The new frontier, Javi and Gabe, Finding A.J.

You told her about the groups and people you’d met, bad people you’d run into before, anything you could remember.

Clementine was happy to have you back. To have someone who understood the first few months of the apocalypse for her was like.

Hii! I saw your requests open and I wanted to ask could you perhaps write some tickle headcanons for Vash from Trigun? Any version is fine, I just need more tickle content of that silly lil guy--

(Love your blog btw! <3)

-------------{ ☆°•○•°☆ }--------------

Trigun: Vash - Tickle Head Canons!

YES! YES! THANK YOU! I've wanted to write about this goobie woobie for so long! I've actually had some HCs written up for ages but never found silly Trigun fans to share them with! 😭 Bless your little socks anon!! Thank you for the opportunity to go HDBDIAOWKDBAI over my Vashy-Washy! XD Love you dust bunny!!!

--------------------☆ ☆------------------------

Lee:

Being inhuman has its perks. Not many but a few. Immortality is pretty cool. But in Vashs case, hanging out with the humans has brought upon a strange, problem, when it comes to physical touch.

At first, Vash had never heard of tickling or being ticklish. Why would he when everyone has only ever wanted to kill him? Until he met Meryl and Millie. One drunken party had led to a cuddle pile where the two females decided to attack the defenceless male, leading to the discovery. He is, in fact, very ticklish.

He is ticklish absolutely everywhere. Luckily, his huge coat and armour protect him most of the time. You'll have to catch him out of uniform to make him squeal.

Saying catch isn't really right, though. He loves being tickled and won't try to avoid an attack if he sees it coming. Like an obedient pup, he'll lay there and take it. Despite his wriggling, he does his best not to get away or stop those scribbling fingers.

His laugh is wonderful. Bright, loud, full of life. And he's very chatty whilst being wrecked. Being his usual goofy self, he'll say the most random things between his laughter.

"H-Hehey! Ahaha! Gohod I could reheheally go for a snAHAHACK rigihight now! Aha! Hah... Aww, why you stop?"

Brat. Brat. Bratty brat brat. Big playful goob. If he wants tickles, he'll follow you around all day until he gets them. Even if it means tickling you first to get a response, he'll do it. He'll poke you. Scare you. Steal a snack. Even throw some playful cheesy flirting your way.

His favourite are reward tickles.

"Didn't I do a good job taking care of those bandits? Come oooon, you know what to do~" He'd say, sprawling happily over your lap.

Praise him. Tell him how cute he is. It's the only time you might be able to fluster him instead of the other way round. If you manage to accomplish this, he'll cover his ears, trying to hide how red they go.

Drunk Vash tickles? Yes. His gangly limbs are so uncoordinated that he'll just flop around like a wet noodle. Hiccuping and snorting happily. Wolfwood takes full advantage of this as he's usually on the receiving end of tickles~

His most sensitive areas are his knees, ribs, and underarms. He also loves it when you tickle his palm. Having only one real hand means the one he's got needs extra love. The teddybear song is a personal favourite of his. Since he's a big kid, really.

Basically, he loves being tickled. Any time. Any place. For any reason. Laughter is so important to him. How could he not crave the sensation?

Ler:

Run. Just run. This man is a menace. Ever heard of the tickle monster? This guy gives him nightmares. In the best possible way.

For whatever reason, you look down in the dumps, or maybe you just committed the unspeakable SIN of eating his last doughnut. Vash is gonna getcha~

He'll chase you round all day, laughing with you as he puts on his 'villain' voice, cooing and teasing as he makes grabby hands at you as you try to flee.

"I'm gonna getcha~!"

"Mwahaha! You think you can escape the claws of Vash the humanoid Typhoon!? Nae! You will suffer at my hand, Mortaaaal!"

"Wow, you're quick! What's got you so frantic, I wonder? Haha!"

Once he catches you, it's over. He'll use his mechanic arm to hold your wrists, allowing his free hand to do the work.

He's a skitterer. Spider fingers are his favourites since they make his victims giggle the most. Changing spots every couple of seconds to keep you wriggling.

The sharpshooter had also invented his own adorable little game! He calls it 'Don't shoot'.

The ler surprises the Lee, aiming finger guns at them and calling 'Hands up!' The Lee has to respond quick as they can with 'Don't shoot!' Whilst throwing theirs hands up. If they're quick enough, the ler, Vash, approaches with his finger guns, circling and teasing the victim with anticipation. Faking a prod or two. The victim has to not flinch or giggle or they get 'shot' or rather, bombarded with tickly pokes.

Vash, being Vash, always makes the sound effects as he's poking you. "Pew! Pew! Pew! Should have stayed still, bandit!" He also loves being on the receiving end of this game, always losing, curling up as soon as those fingers get too close.

He's so gentle as a ler. Teasy and bubbly as always. He'll pull you into a hug, wriggling his fingers into your sides, blowing raspberries on your neck. He's a big guy, holding you still isn't difficult.

"Ah, Mon précieux, what a lovely singing voice you posesse~"

"A snort!? For me!? Oh my gosh, do it again!"

"Huh? Don't say tickle? Why shouldn't I say tickle? Is tickle a bad word? Is ticklish a bad word, too? What about tickled? Oh gosh, I'm saying all these awful tickly words! Oh well, I've sinned now, might as well go all out~ Tickle, tickle, tickle!"

Once he's tired you out, he'll hold you close to him, chuckling quietly at how flustered you are as he pets your hair. He'll share a doughnut if he feels he's been particularly mean~ Lucky you!

Vash, Vash, Vash. What a goobie woobie he is. My beloved sunflower 🥹 Making this a world build upon love and peace!!! 🤞 Marry me FUCK SAKE! XD

100% Switch!
