LOST: Season One
#lost#abc lost#lost one cap per ep#this was a project i was gonna do anyways but the timing worked out that i could post the first one on the 20th anniversary!#this is one cap per ep every season. from left to right. and this is important: its not a cap that sums up each ep#its a cap that REPRESENTS each ep. the way i choose them varies every episode#sometimes its an utterly iconic moment. sometimes it reps the theme of the ep. or it hits with a theme of the character themselves#sometimes the cap i use won't even involve the character whose centric episode it is. trust me. this makes sense#anyways i'll give a good example: for outlaws i was so tempted to use a shot of the judgemental soulful gaze of the boar#or perhaps sawyer in the rain after he shot that man#but! i used that shot of sawyer's dads legs as sawyer is hiding under the bed. i feel it worthy because this moment. this scene#is literally a core part of sawyer. it's a defining moment of his backstory. of his character. so yeah. makes sense yeah?#anyways some eps had Too Much going on (lord i could make one of these for exodus part 1 alone) and some not enough#or well they DID but like lacked in caps that Hit in the way im thinking. thank heavens charlie shot ethan cuz i was worried about that ep#i was like ''aw shit what am i gonna use'' and then an iconic lost moment happened kjhfdsjkhfd#anyways. there are 25 eps in season one. so im really glad that the last ep contains one of the moment iconic visuals/moments in all of los#oh i should add that these caps are unedited. i did not fuck with the colours or saturation in any way#i found 'em and i pieced them together. this is harder than it sounds. i browsed through all the screencaps of every ep of season one#and i will do so the remaining five seasons#some of these were super easy like i knew what cap i'd be using before i even started (eg. do no harm. the moth. in translation)#but some took some real Thinking. and some eps even had several caps that would have worked. this has all been quite interesting#also yeah. y'all already know damn well what cap i'm using for the very last episode

hello there! I just read a headcanons about the slashers s/o breastfeeding their baby and i need some smutty thing about breast milk😫
Could you do the Sinclair brothers, Thomas Hewitt, Bubba Sawyer and Brahms Heelshire drinking their s/o breasy milk? Please i'm begging😭🙏
Anyways, thanks if you do and feel free to ignore that request if you don't feel comfortable with it, bye💋
Your slasher finds out about the infinite food glitch
NSFW MDNI, 18+ Brahms Heelshire, Thomas Hewitt, Bubba Sawyer, Vincent Sinclair, Bo Sinclair, Lester Sinclair x reader (separate), mommy kink mentioned, breeding kink, lactating without pregnancy, lactation kink, titty sucking, breast worship, racially ambiguous, AFAB reader, relatively gender neutral (if you don't mind being called mommy), pretty short
Brahms
Absolutely found out you could lactate the first time you two had sex
He was on your tiddies the second your shirt came off
The way your breasts leaked sweet nectar into his mouth almost made him cum
Brahms becomes obsessed with your breasts more than he usually would
The mommy kink on this man-
Has 100% begged for your milk before
On more than one occasion you've rewarded him for being good by jacking him off while he sucks on your breasts
Call him a good boy while he does so
You'll have to pull him off because he does not care if you get overstimulated or your nipples get sore
You've got milk and Brahms is going to take as much as he can
Thomas Hewitt
This man already has a breeding kink but feeling your milk in his mouth really woke something up within him
He found you with your shirt wet from your tits leaking through the thin material
Thomas was mostly enamored with the sight of your breasts through a wet shirt but when you explained that the material became damp not through water but from your own milk-
⚠ Hucow kink discovered
His big hands are all over your breasts more than ever
Thomas loves the idea of taking you into the barn and making you bend over on your hands and knees so he can milk you like a cow
Vincent Sinclair
He found out about your lactating when you joked about making a mold out of your breasts
Vincent honestly loved the idea of having a wax mold of your boobies in his studio
During the process of putting your breasts in the silicone mold, you started leaking
The sight stopped Vincent in his tracks
He really had a moment of self discovery seeing your milk filled tits leaking right in front of him
Vincent went ahead and look handfuls of your breasts, rolling the flesh under his palm and pinching at your nipples to make you spray more milk
The silicone mold ended up abandoned with Vincent more focused on milking you dry while you squeezed around his cock
Bo Sinclair
Bo loves seeing your pretty tits all sore from him biting and loving on them
Bo has nipple clamps for you that he likes to tug on to see you squirm and leak for him
If your breasts are big enough, this man will 100% make you drink your own milk
He loves to pull on your nipples and watch them leak as he abuses your breasts
Bo will come up behind you to cop a feel whenever you're doing something
He'll sometimes give you a purple nurple just to see you squirt milk then get all embarrassed/angry at him
Bonus points if he makes you squirt through your shirt
What's better than seeing your tits through your wet shirt? Knowing it's from you leaking your own milk because Bo can't keep his hands to himself
Fingers you while he sucks on your breasts
Just having you lay back while he hold you and makes you leak from not only pussy but from your breasts as well sends this man to heaven
Lester Sinclair
How far can you squirt?
Lester was mostly interested with how far you can launch your milk at first
However seeing your tits all heavy and sore and needing to be milked makes his dick throb
Absolutely loves to suck on your titties
Lester can control himself and is fairly gentlemanly but seeing your milk leak through your shirt does something to him
All he wants to do is have you ride him until his dick is sore while he sucks on your tits
During sex, he likes to tug and pull on your nipples to see your milk squirt all over you then lick it up
He has definitely thought about putting a baby in you to get you to make some more of that delicious milk for him
Bubba Sawyer
Bubba's favorite position is to have you sit on his lap and ride him while he sucks on your titties
Absolutely quells his oral fixation
There is also a sort of nurturing aspect to it that Bubba loves
You're taking care of him in more ways than one
Bubba also goes to you for comfort as well
He just loves the sight of your breasts and the taste of them and everything about them
Just having your nipple in his mouth is so soothing
Tell him how loved he is and how much he does for the family while he sucks the milk from your titties
Bonus points if you warm his cock while he does so
Bubba also loves to massage your breasts for you whenever they get sore
Just lay down and let him rub and milk you
He can't just let you take care of him all the time!

𝕾𝖑𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖘 𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔠𝔱 𝔱𝔬 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔨𝔦𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔱𝔬 𝔭𝔯𝔬𝔱𝔢𝔠𝔱 𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔪.
(fem reader)
Includes: Bo Sinclair, Stu Macher, Thomas Hewitt, Tex Sawyer, Michael Myers.
Warnings: Mentions of blood, violence.
𝕭𝖔 𝕾𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖑𝖆𝖎𝖗
Finds it incredibly attractive at the fact that you would risk your life just for him. He would 100% brag about it to everyone he knows. "My girl would actually kill for me."
Will help you take care of any wounds you may have gotten from the battle. He's got a lot of practice, and knows exactly what to do.
He would want to teach you all about how to defend yourself and him.
𝕾𝖙𝖚 𝕸𝖆𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖗
He falls even more in love with you, knowing you'll do anything for him. He feels secure knowing that you support him and what he does.
So. Many. Kisses. The man cannot get enough of you. He thinks you look so beautiful, even when you're bloody. He thinks you look super hot covered in blood.
Begs you to help him and Billy with Ghostface. He totally understands if you don't want to, and how you only did what you did to keep him alive.
He will want every detail on how you felt when you did it. "Did you like it? How did you feel? Would you ever do it again?"
Wants to marry you. He thinks you're the perfect woman. Heaven sent.
𝕿𝖍𝖔𝖒𝖆𝖘 𝕳𝖊𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖙
Why? You didn't have to do that. You could've been hurt. He doesn't want his favorite person in any risk. Don't do it again.
He would freak out. He would think it's awesome how devoted you are to him. It's so reassuring to him, he never understood why you stayed with him. He thinks he's a beast, an awful human. He never thought he deserved you or your love, but you doing this silenced all of his thoughts.
Would never take you out of his sight again. He wont allow himself to let you get hurt, accidentally or purposefully. He hates seeing you in pain.
If Hoyt makes any remarks about how "You're stupid for putting your life at risk for such a waste of life" he would be on his feet in seconds. He can't stand him, and he draws the line at you. He refuses to let Hoyt touch you. Ever.
𝕿𝖊𝖝 𝕾𝖆𝖜𝖞𝖊𝖗
In awe. He swears he can never fall in love more than he already is, but it just keeps happening. He finally found a woman that isn't afraid of his lifestyle.
"Well, darlin' you've got me swept off my feet. You're jus' perfect."
Pulls you in for a million hugs and kisses. XOXO to the max. He tries to convince you to help with the family's routines / hunts, and completely melts if you agree.
Would jokingly ask you to do the same to Alfredo.
𝕸𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖊𝖑 𝕸𝖞𝖊𝖗𝖘
Not happy. He had it covered. Don't get yourself hurt because of him.
Throws you down and forces you to let him clean you up. Even though he's not happy that you risked your life, he still cares. He loves you, and will care for you.
He refuses to let you go out alone. He's scared you might get hurt again.

Muti slasher with a reader that loves to bake, eat, and share
But the reader is like feeding them the sweets like a baby
AAHHH, THIS REQUEST OMGGG!!! I LOVE THIS REQUEST THANKS SO MUCH ANON FOR REQUESTING THIS!!
(I think I went overboard on this one lmaoo)
Slashers: Michael, Jason, Bubba, Thomas, Billy and Stu, Billy lenz, Brahms, Carrie, Hannibal x Will, & The lost boys!
LIKES AND/OR REBLOGS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Feeding slashers sweet treats!
Michael Myers:
This silent man actually does love when you bake something for him, especially that he has a sweet tooth! Like he'll be popping out of nowhere just to see what you are baking! And just watch you do the stuff from scratch.
If you want to share with Michael, this man will literally steal the whole damn plate just to eat the whole thing in front of your face..! Which makes you pissed every time he does that, and you would ignore whenever he tries to ask for those baked treats.
Michael does not want to be fed like a baby, he would most likely slap your hand away that's full of treats onto the floor.. Which Michael had to clean that up since he acted like a full on child for that.
Jason Voorhees:
When he found out that you would love to bake, he immediately wanted to try whatever pastries/deserts you would make! He'll also help you with whatever you need help with your baking!
Sharing these treats with Jason is like heaven to him! He loves seeing his darling making faces of how delicious your sweets are!
When you get the chance to feed these sweets to him, Jason gets really embarrassed that he's getting fed, but he's not complaining! He actually loves it when you feed him, cooing at him, and praising him for how much of a handsome boy he is!
Bubba Sawyer:
He LOVES LOVES your baking!! He'll be blubbering about how delicious your baking is, and how flaky it is when he bites into it! (His brothers are a little jealous, that their little brother has a baker that feeds him 🌚.)
When you share the new sweets you made, he'll be jumping up and down, wanting to try your new recipe! He then starts blubbering praises of how good it is, and that you should start feeding him that!
Now feeding Bubba, he's really shy but that doesn't matter, because getting fed by you and your sweets will be treating him like a baby, wanting more and more! But for you, you are so glad Bubba loves your sweets, and of course you love feeding him too! It makes both you and him happy as ever!
Thomas Hewitt:
This big burly man will be wanting to try your sweets of course! He immediately smelt the fresh apple pie, thinking that it was his mama making it, because he loves his Mama's apple pie!
When he got up there, he was surprised that you were baking! So of course he needed to try your apple pie! Once he bit into the apple pie, he was over the world! Making grunts of how good it is, and praising you with his grunts!
You then grabbed the chair and went beside Thomas, and grabbed a piece of apple pie, and tried to feed him. Which surprised him since you wanted to try feeding him, but he didn't care he just bit into it, and then he looked into your eyes, and Thomas put the piece of apple pie down from your hand and gave you a hug for how delicious your pie is!
Billy & Stu:
Now these two, especially Stu are a menace! When they found out you loved to bake, of course their big mouths wanted to try your sweets! Begging you if you are making more sweets, or making new sweets too!
Stu loves how you make your sweets by scratch and Billy loves how you make so much effort just to feed those sweets to them! So sharing your baked sweets to them, it's something that they will never forget!
When feeding them your baked treats to them, they'll be giving so much praise for how good it is, and asking you to feed them more! While feeding these two, they both have the audacity to start moaning while eating, so you gave them a smack to the head for that..
Billy Lenz:
You kind of knew Billy when you were staying with the sorority girls. Sometimes at midnight, there will be noises of clattering downstairs, so you had to investigate what was all that noise. Seeing a person opening up what's left over your baked brownies, froze still.. You then chuckle at the feeling of how you knew that the "moaner" was eating your brownies!
Wherever there's a chance during nights, you'll be baking treats for the "attic" man, because that's what you call him when he shows you where he hides most times. But he then told you his name, which made you happy that he told you his name, so of course you had to make more cookies for him!
For Billy, he doesn't like when people feed him, so getting fed by you would make him move away from you.. He just thinks that it's weird and he could just feed the treats to himself if he wanted to. Which you completely understand that if he doesn't want that, you'll have to leave him be.
Brahms Heelshire:
Brahms has been bugging you for the past few hours to make him treats! Which made him pissed that you will be fully ignoring him, so the only way to get your attention, is by acting like a full on child..
He'll be full on child mode, making messes, yelling, and crying. Hearing him being like a grown man child is something that you really hate, and you gave in and started baking a batch of treats for him.
After baking those treats for him, he'll be forcing you to hand feed them to him, because he wants to be a big baby. You had to tell him to say 'please' after what he wanted, and he said it, just so you could feed him.. But seriously he loves you so much, and he wouldn't know what to do without you and your baking!
Carrie White:
You loved to bake too? So does Carrie! Both you and Carrie will be making batches of whatever treats you guys like! Carrie loves how you make anything with chocolate, and you love her cakes that she likes to bake!
Sharing recipes with Carrie is always fun! Both you and her will be trying out new recipes with each other, and taste test them! Carrie's favorite recipe from you is the brownies, but with melted chocolate inside! As for you, you like her baked cakes! She makes so many and they're all so good, which you couldn't pick but whichever you like that's your favorite cake from her!
You and Carrie love sharing food too! Which isn't weird for the both of you since you've been sharing food since you guys were little! So you both love making "Here comes the airplane" or anything else than that, while feeding each other! Which makes it funny while eating, and just laughter filled in the air!
Hannibal & Will:
These two love your baking! They both praise and coo at you for making these delicious treats for them! For Will, he will give you cuddles for making the treats and for Hannibal, he'll be cooking your favorite dish/food for making the treats too!
Sharing your baked treats to them, makes them fall in love with you more! These two will be giving you love for making these treats for them, they'll also do everything for you too! They're really helpful after giving them your baked treats!
Will kinda does want to be fed by you, but for Hannibal he doesn't want to since he's a clean man, but he would most likely feed you though.. but they both love you very much just for feeding them your baked treats!
The Lost Boys (David, Dwayne, Paul & Marko):
Feeding these vampires is something you kinda hate but also love at the same time! They love your baked treats a lot, (maybe too much) because they'll be bugging you to make more and more! And if they want more, that means your money will be gone within a week..
They love you so much for sharing your baked treats! Even though they know that you are running out of money for baking these treats for them, the only way these vampires will do is steal money of course, just for you to make more..!
They love to be fed by you, especially Paul and Marko, but for David and Dwayne it might take some time for these two. But over all they love you so much, that they will literally make them feed your baked treats over and over again (Even if your broke 🌚).

Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 Launch Trailer just got released and I am quite interested in the dynamic that shall be shown soon.
From what I can tell, we're gonna be facing three groups; Poppy, Doey, and Harley. Either Doey and Harley are rivals yet the clayman is gonna be having some beef with Poppy OR the doc and clay are working together which is why he seems so menacing in the thumbnail.
Poppy's lines, Kissy injured and Ollie making a reappearance:
Okay, let's just say I'm glad that our pink, huggable gal is back and alive! But she seems injured on her right side, so we probably might find her some time into the game, maybe after we meet Doey and enter into the Safe Heaven. Since he seems to be the warden/leader, taking in any injured toy under his wing.
And I believe Ollie will come back, since not only because the Protagonist still got the phone and he is an ally (But I'm still suspicious of him, he could be the Prototype). We heard him in the trailer yelling "He's outside!" As Poppy and Kissy try and enter through a steel door, possibly the entrance or a passage to the Safe Heaven.
But speaking of Poppy, I want to get through a line that is quite interesting.
"You've lied to me!"
That line has a lot of emotion, this could very much just be her telling that to Doey since he doesn't trust her and outright has her crossed out on the wall. But I don't think so, maybe she's aware that the clayman has distrust in her and she respects that since she blames herself for everything. Another suspect of who this is referring to is Ollie, that would make sense if that little boy is the Prototype.
But there is one that may spark new light, and that's the Protagonist. In SuperHorroBro's reaction to the trailer, he suspects it could be the Protag Poppy is saying they lied to her. This would be so interesting to witness, like maybe this is some kind of reveal of who they are, or they did something that was necessary yet was still hurtful to Poppy.
Doey, a friend or foe?:
This new character is interesting, as the Devs have said that Harley is NOT the main villain and how excited they are about this new character in how they move. So this already gives off the feeling that Doey is not as friendly as he seems, he could be working with Harley.
But for now, let's talk about his Safe Heaven. From the mural, it's a place where he keeps the less hostile toys safe and away from all dangers. Since the prison is by far the worst place to be in. He may take on the role as the caregiver or warden or protector, guiding those who are lost to his place if they wish to be safe. However, there is ONE detail that is worth mentioning; the drawing of Poppy being crossed out with the words; "She abandoned us".
This indicates that Poppy knows about Safe Heaven, but left at some point and never returned. Even though we know that Mommy locked her up inside the case till the Protagonist freed her, that is unknown to Doey and all the other toys in there. Believing she left them. And now, that would make such an interesting dynamic between him and her.
Heck, she may not even be with the Protag by the time they meet him and when he does learn they're with her... Some conflict may happen.
However, what strikes me as odd is that Doey is already so nice to the Protag when he dropped down from the ceiling. As if he already knew they aren't a threat. Which raises suspicion, I have a feeling that he will try and pursue them to be on his side, saying things like "The doctor is dangerous, so stay away from him, bud." Or " I wouldn't trust Poppy so much if I were you, you just want to get out and yet she's keeping you here." Just anything to make it seem he's empathetic.
And if that is the case, he's gonna backstab us once they defeat Harley or weaken us so the doc can have his entertainment.
Doctor Harley Sawyer will be everywhere and watching:
So it's clear that the doc is going to be a MAJOR thorn on our side, like this man will be watching our every move and sending out Yarnaby and the Nightmare Critters to get us. Even Pianosaurus is coming for our ass at 500 mph. And it's all a game to him.
He doesn't take our Protagonist seriously, which is something he shall be proven wrong once they kill Yarnaby or maybe destroy/shutting off the IT room (that's what I'm calling it, the room where all the power is turned on when the doc woke up) so he will no longer be a threat.
And I am quite surprised to hear that Harley and the Prototype are working together now, despite in the past they hated each other. I did hear that Harley woke up in 2002(?), so maybe after seeing all the destruction he may have come at peace with the Prototype. Maybe 1006 promised him freedom or something.
But anyway, the multiple animatronics might play as a weeping angel kind of enemy. Like with Miss Delight, but multiple scattered around in a FNAF:SB way. And it's likely that Harley can transport his consciousness to them/control them will. Maybe during that scene with the multiple stacks of TVs and the door at the end of the hall is where the Protagonist will meet the main body.
Maybe after they dealt with Doey, like it's a reward or final challenge in a way.

@thealmightyemprex @ariel-seagull-wings @themousefromfantasyland @piterelizabethdevries since I'm not going to make it to streams this week, I wanted to share my experience reading Mark Twain's The Mysterious Stranger when I was little.
So - my dad read Tom Sawyer very early to me, and I loved it. Then he began reading Huckleberry Finn to me, removing the n-word thankfully and replacing it with "slave", but otherwise reading the original text and not a children's version. The portrayal of Huck's fear he would be going to hell for helping Jim has haunted me since that first reading, and I still think Huckleberry Finn is an incredibly compelling deconstruction of American racism.
Okay, so then I started looking for other books by twain to read by myself. My dad had this collection... and I stumbled on The Mysterious Stranger (the posthumously published 'finished' version, not the manuscripts.)
And if I was haunted by Huckleberry Finn, imagine my reaction to something that ends like THIS:
“Strange! that you should not have suspected years ago—centuries, ages, eons, ago!—for you have existed, companionless, through all the eternities. Strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction! Strange, because they are so frankly and hysterically insane—like all dreams: a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell—mouths mercy and invented hell—mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him!...
“You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks—in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier.
“It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream—a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!”
He vanished, and left me appalled; for I knew, and realized, that all he had said was true.
Existential crisis, seriously.

Oh man... I love zombie apocalypse talk... and combining it with Yandere's??? Heaven.
Anyway time for zombie apocalypse headcanons, thank you for summoning this into my brain.
Nora is a beast. An absaloute fucking beast. She takes on 50 zombies at once and walks out fine. The stress of the apocalypse brings out her true nature, maybe darling gets bitten so she ties you up in rope and chains so she can keep you forever - zombie or not.
Miriel is dying. I'm sorry Miri but I don't think she'd have it in her. 2 weeks tops before she gets bitten. The infection probably takes an agonisingly long time to take over though if she's surrounded by nature. Maybe if you bury her in the forest she'll be purified. Or she'll just come back stronger.
Runa is lasting a somewhat long time but will probably get bit and turn from doing something stupid. Her tantrums would probably attract zombies all the time as well.
Eliza is dying. Not because she gets bit, but because she kept eating zombies and infected herself that way. Zombie Eliza chasing you down in wolf form would be terrifying.
Sawyer is. Y'know. Sawyer. But if we wanna have fun with it, she'd probably end up making a safe haven for survivors to take refuge in, basically a sequel to the city.
Kassien is wooping so much ass. Imagine her in her binder caving zombies heads in, dripping with sweat as she protects you. Mmf.
Idek what Nikki would do. She's a wildcard.
Theanna has a castle to hole up in and an army to defend her. She's keeping you safe no matter what, if anything happens to her queen, everyone taking refuge in the castle will be cast out.
Abigail is obviously never getting bit. She's too badass for that. Don't worry my lady, I'll deal with all the blood and guts so you can stay nice and pretty <3
Pauline is gonna get bitten I fear. She's going to make a blunder and realise she's going to turn, she begs you to stay with her until the end, all of her fake cruelty dissapears in her final days. She just wants you to be with her, even as she begins to crave that delicious flesh on your neck.
Raphael is going to do the same thing as Eliza and infect herself. I can see her locking darling away in a sealed room to keep you safe, she knows she will crave your flesh when she turns, so you have to stay in here, forever and always. If you ask her why SHE doesn't lock herself away, it's because she's too scared of you being eaten by someone else. It has to be her.
Elisha is obviously kicking so much ass it's not even funny. Zombies are nothing compared to dragons, so why not throw a little spice into the mix - her darling gets bitten and she's in total denial. Every day you turn a little more and beg her to kill you but she refuses, saying she will find you a cure to turn you back. She WILL save you no matter what it takes.
Veronia I wanna have fun with. Obviously she's not going to get infected, she has scales. BUT. Imagine if she did. A terrifying zombie dragon hunting you down because you smell so much better than all the others, and you would make the most divine meal. (I like to think dragons are so powerful they retain most of their intelligence after turning, as opposed to dumb dumb humans)
Ainsley started the apocalypse, let's be real here.
Skye is dying. I'm sorry but she lasts 4 days at the most, oddly enough however, she's more docile than most zombies.
Darla is leading a scavengers group. She starts up her own little paradise and boasts having full control. Queen bee of the apocalypse.
Sophie is going to be Darla's second in command. Basically her enforcer, bashing in zombie heads and making sure everyone in the settlement is well behaved. I like to think her and Darla share a darling, who's some scared ill-prepared survivor who just so happened to stumble upon their settlement. "You can never leave us dolly, I've seen what they do to pretty girls like you out there."
Ella is also getting turned, but whereas zombie Skye is docile, zombie Ella is feral. She already liked biting now it's her full time job.
-girlfailure 🧟‍♀️
The only thing I would change is I think Miriel would get close to the forest instantly and if you got bit she would be able to naturally purify herself with the elf stuff.
mmmm tank Nora, I love it soo much.

Hi! I was wondering if you could write some head-cannons about giving the slashers the silent treatment for Bubba Sawyer, Thomas Hewitt, Billy & Stu, Vincent Sinclair
Thank you!!!
Requested
Hi I’m Em and I am in love with Vincent Sinclair (i’m imagining all ya’ll saying ‘hi em’)
reblog if you enjoy! any other ideas?
Uh oh, big boys are in the dog house. What are they like when their lovely gives them the silent treatment? 
Tumblr media
Bubba
As soon as you skip your usual “Good Morning” he’s in tears
Once you step out of the bathroom, fresh faced and ready for a day of ignoring your man, he’s in your personal space, whining and crying, a fistful of wildflowers gripped tightly in his hand, roots still shaking dirt onto the floor
You'd have to clean that up so….
Honestly, just take the flowers and forgive him sweetie, he’s just gonna cry and whinge until you do, and no he won't admit he did anything wrong because he doesn't care
Not in a bad way, but your anger is too distracting for him to remember properly 
Thomas
Notices right away
Is worried right away
He’s so used to and in love with your babbling, nodding his head along with you, so when it’s sudden radio silence, when all of a sudden you won't even look at him? Instant heartbreak
Did he do something? Say something? Did someone else? Don’t you love him anymore?
It hasn't even been an entire day and you have this 6’5 hulking giant of a man literally at your feet
Im serious, after a few hours he can't stand it, bails on his chores, finds you and immediately drops to his knees, hugging your legs and burying his face in your tummy
He only peels himself away when he feels your hand start running through his hair (i've decided no one can stay mad at him he’s too soft)
After you coax him off of his knees the two of you have an open conversation and communicate your feelings in a healthy way, solving all the problems and boom sunshine and rainbows baby
Billy & Stu
We all know these two share a brain cell, and once ya’ll are together its split amongst you three
They do NOT catch onto your mood for a whileee
Honestly it’s probably one of your friends, or even your mom, that clues them in
They’re used to you being a bit on the quiet side, heaven knows the pair can entertain each other for hours with dumb boy stuff, and they spend their nights, well, ya’know…
When they do realize your unhappiness and silence these boys go the wallet route
Im talking flowers, chocolate, nice dinner, shoes, that outfit you were eyeing at the mall last week, and more flowers
You do eventually forgive them, but they honestly aren't much wiser afterwards
Vincent
Ngl he doesn't notice at first, not in a bad way, it’s just he gets so invested in his art
There are many nights he stays in his workshop, meddling away at his latest project, often skipping meals unless you bring them to him
I love this man okay, but baby can be a little bit of an airhead at times
Bo and Lester have both noticed by now and let’s just say dinner time is Awkward✨ 
By now Vinny is catching onto your cold shoulder 
Good thing he wears that mask because if you could see the pout on his lil face? All anger would be gone with the wind
Vince doesn’t really know what to do, his brothers sure as hell aren't helpful, so he does the only thing he can think of
Art, art and groveling 
He sketches a portrait of you, far too well done to be a quick one, and it almost encaptures how gorgeous he thinks you are
Once the sketch is in your hands, he’s slipping into bed with you, not bothering to move the covers, just smooshing against you, every inch of him on every inch of you, holding you close
When you look down to where he is parasitically attached to your chest, his eye is shining so sadly, there is no way you could stay mad at him
He’s just too cute, sorry I don't make the rules

The sawyer co. pastor swore basic human rights is totalitarianism and that pioneering for those rights will lead to meeting in public being unsafe…. As a teenager is sitting front row with a backwards Trump hat. The ego on this man as he described the crowd being saved, only after his and his assistants would be saved first as they’re “messengers”. A man fully confident in his claims that rapture will come this mid-September, disagreeing with scientific facts as the sun burns the crowd’s already slowly sizzling brains. Was it the heat that led him to give up on his species? The heat a sign of incoming apocalypse, where only he will be saved. Suddenly I’m reminded of the dream I had as an anxious non-denominational child, of the land slowly burning around me; visions of a half descended family hugging out as we watch the airport across the bay burn with slender dancing flames to heaven. Suddenly, my left shoulder twitches and I feel the small town fear of dying without ever experiencing more than everyone before you did. Maybe I should’ve worn my cult leader skirt to this humid sermon because it’s the perfect day for some kool-aid

"For God, All Things Are Possible"
John Sawyer and Jennifer Climo
Bedford Presbyterian Church
10 / 13 / 24 – Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost[1]
Mark 10:17-31
Matthew 25:14-30
“For God, All Things are Possible”
(Grace and Gratitude – Week 1)
JOHN
“Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!” Jesus says.
“Then who can be saved?” the disciples ask, fearfully.
“For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; 
for God all things are possible.”  Jesus responds.
For God, all things are possible.  
Jesus is on his way out of town 
and a man comes running up to him and asks him, 
“What must I do to inherit eternal life? . . . 
                        “I have kept all the commandments 
since I was young. . .” (Mark 10:17, 20)[2]
Jesus looks at this man and loves him.  
This is a key detail – a detail that is often overlooked 
in a passage that is rich with so much to think about.  
            Jesus “looks at the man and loves him.”  
In the original language, 
Jesus “fixes his gaze” on the man 
in such a way that he completely 
sees and, knows, and understands him.[3]
                        And he loves the man with an agape kind of love – 
the kind of grace-filled love that God has for us, 
even when we make mistakes, and fall short, 
and don’t measure up. 
Jesus looks at the man and loves him, and then tells him, 
“Go, sell what you own and give the money to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven; 
then come, follow me.” (10:22)
      ��     As the story goes, the man is shocked and goes away, 
filled with grief, because he has many possessions.  
JEN
I struggled understanding this verse for a long time. Turns out, after a lot of study, It doesn’t mean you can’t accumulate money or things, it means in your heart you need to put God first, before money and things. I’m going to try and explain this further today.
I have spoken with you before about my financial difficulties 12 years ago after my divorce, when I was upside down on my house, deeply in debt and struggling to stay afloat. Every year, I used to draw up my annual budget and figure out what was left over to give. Could I eek out $5,000 for the church? One day I just decided I was going to flip that on its head and start giving 10% off the top. Starting in 2019, despite my extreme anxiety around money, I decided to start tithing my income. In the 5 years before 2019, my income had gone up some, about 29% over the 5 year period, as I got more experience and added more clients to my business. However, in the 5 years since I started tithing, my income has gone up more than 80%. God has given me more than I need, and I now happily write the check every week and give thanks to God for blessing me abundantly.
God had always told me this would happen, I just didn’t listen until I did.  Don’t be like me!  Don’t wait too long to start giving.  The point is to give while your life still isn’t perfect.
JOHN
“Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!” Jesus says.
“Then who can be saved?” the disciples ask.  
“For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; 
for God all things are possible.” 
Jesus is teaching his disciples about the kingdom of heaven – 
what it might look like if God’s kingdom 
is on earth as it is in heaven.  
And Jesus tells a story about a master with three servants.  
When the master goes out of town, 
he gives each servant an extravagant gift.  
Jesus calls these gifts “talents,” 
because a “talent” was 
a measure of weight in those days.  
One talent equaled fifteen years’ wages.  
Can you imagine receiving fifteen years’ wages 
in one lump sum?  
What about two times that, 
or even five times that, all at once?  
What a gift!  
Two of the servants go and invest their gifts and earn even more.  
But one of the servants goes 
and – in fear – buries his gift in the ground.  
            He can’t imagine 
what he might possibly be able to do with such a gift.
On its surface, the Parable of the Talents 
seems like an over-the-top story.  
I mean, what kind of real-world situation – 
beyond winning the lottery 
or having some surprise billionaire benefactor – 
would put you in the same boat 
as these servants in the story?  
I admit, you and I might not have fifteen
(or thirty, or seventy-five) years’ wages 
fall into our laps, 
but, at the end of the day, 
this story isn’t about the money.  
It is all about grace – unearnable, unmerited grace.  
It is about the Master’s overwhelming gracious generosity – 
God’s tremendous generosity to us 
and our response to this generosity.  
How has God blessed you and me?  
If we step back and think about it,
we might just be able to point to a lifetime of blessings, 
poured out upon us through family, 
or vocation, or community, or church.  
These are blessings that extend from God to us 
through spiritual connections, friendships, and deep comfort, 
and fulfilling work, and serendipitous joy – 
God blessing us in innumerable ways.  
            How do we respond to such amazing grace?  
Do the gifts of God 
have an impact on how we live our lives?  
Do we openly celebrate and share the gift of grace 
or do we hide it away? 
JEN
In the Old Testament, the prophet Malachi hears the voice of the Lord, saying:  "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." (Malachi 3:10)
So many people today are depressed and anxious about money. Do we have a money problem or a mindset problem? 
When a different version of the Parable of the Talents is told in the Gospel of Luke, the frightened servant wraps his gift in a scrap of cloth – like a bag – and buries it in the ground.  Think of this “bag mindset” as a scarcity mindset.
A barn mindset is an abundance mindset. Like when the other servants invest their talents and end up with an overwhelming amount – so much so, that if they were to put it all in a barn, the barn – or, the storehouse that the Prophet Malachi describes – would not be able to contain it.  
“I’d like to give more, but we just don’t have enough,” we tell ourselves.  Or, “When I earn more income, I will give more.”  These are scarcity mindsets, the exact opposite of an abundance, or barn, mindset.  
God’s math is not normal math. 90% of what you earn with his blessings is more than 100% without his blessings! Having a scarcity mindset of “I don’t have enough” is shortsighted.
Statistics prove that people who don’t give when they earn a little, don’t give when they earn a lot. You just have to start or its unlikely you ever will.  Sometimes, starting a new way of life is the most challenging thing.  
Many of us have a scarcity mindset when it comes to giving.  I know I did.  But we live in a world of abundance and God helped me see this.  Tithing breaks the bag mindset of scarcity. Our resources are not finite, because we have God as our multiplier!
JOHN
“Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!” Jesus says.
“For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; 
for God all things are possible.”  
For God, all things are possible.  
One of Jesus’ disciples – a man named Peter – 
pulls him aside and says, “Whew! Jesus,
I think we disciples are good!  
We have left everything and have followed you. . .” (Mark 10:28)
Good old Peter – saying just what’s on his mind, 
whether or not it’s the right thing to say.  
Of course, Peter wants to do and say the right thing and, 
he does kind of have a point.  
Earlier, when Peter and Andrew, James and John, 
were called to leave their fishing nets and follow Jesus, 
they did just that.   
            So, they’re good, right?
Well, Jesus puts them in their place a bit.  
“It’s not just you, Peter!” he says to Peter – and to us.    
“There are a lot of people 
who have given up a lot to follow me.”
Receiving God’s kingdom is a gift –
not something that we can earn by anything that we do.  
It is hard to enter the kingdom of God, but – 
as we talked about last week – 
receiving the kingdom of God, 
like a child receives it, is a gift – 
a gift that cannot be calculated by asking 
“What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
            This is what the rich young ruler asks.  
            But there is nothing that we can do 
except humbly receive the gift of God’s grace.  
It is this grace that does the work – on us, and in us, and through us.  
For God, all things are possible.  
How will God work within each of us 
to open our hearts, and minds – 
our many talents, and gifts, 
and. . . yes . . . even our bank accounts – 
to let God do God’s work?
JEN
Some people have the attitude that they’ll give whatever they calculate as reasonable out of their resources. This is a very human way of thinking. . . not God’s way. Giving by calculating what we think is reasonable does not lead to blessings and prosperity. Reasoning with God is different from responding to God.  This may have been what Jesus was getting at with this verse – following Him has to do with letting go of our worship of money and wealth. The verse isn’t about wealth itself but our heart’s attachment to it. 
As we reflect on the story of the rich young ruler, let us remember that Jesus wasn't condemning wealth itself but the heart's attachment to it, which can distract from true devotion to God.
Today, I challenge each of us to examine our hearts. Are we holding onto our resources with a tight fist, fearing there won't be enough, or can we open our hands, trusting in God's promise of abundance? 
Let's not wait for a time when we feel we have 'enough' to give. Start where you are and give in a way that reflects not just what you can afford, but what you believe God can multiply. 
Remember, tithing and giving are not just about supporting the church or helping others; they are acts of worship, declarations of faith in God's provision. They are the practical application of putting God first in our lives.
In this season of Stewardship – a season of focusing on grace and gratitude – I want to encourage all of us to consider how we might shift from a bag mindset to a barn mindset – from human math to God’s math, from reasoning with God to responding to God. Let's pray for the courage to give generously, not out of our surplus, but out of our substance, trusting that in God's economy, giving is receiving, and losing our life for His sake is truly finding it.
JOHN
“For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; 
for God all things are possible.”  
When today’s passage begins, 
Jesus and the rich young man list a lot of commandments:  
You shall not murder, or steal, or commit adultery, 
or bear false witness, or defraud.  
Honor your father and your mother.  
Most of us have done pretty well 
following commandments like these.  
Commandments like these 
are far easier for most people to keep.  
The hardest commandment to keep is the first one – 
the one that runs implicitly throughout today’s reading:  
“I am the Lord your God, 
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, 
out of the house of slavery; 
you shall have no other gods before me.”  (Exodus 20:2)
The rich young man goes away – grieving – 
because he had many possessions.  
I know that I would, too.
But nothing is impossible for God – not even us.  
            Just like our ancient spiritual ancestors, 
it is God who frees us from the things that enslave us.  
            This is why Jesus came – to free us from sin and death – 
and it is what Jesus is still doing to us, 
by the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  
Nothing is impossible for God.  Nothing is impossible.  
Not even this.  Not even us.
May God’s grace free us for lives of grace-filled gratitude.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

Would the firm Fenner casket have caved in so readily?
Birch, and I believe his eye-for-an-eye fury could beat old Father Death himself.
Sawyer was not a lovable man, and many stories were told of his almost inhuman vindictiveness and tenacious memory for wrongs real or fancied. When he perceived that the latch was hopelessly unyielding, at least in a city; and even Peck Valley would have shuddered a bit had it known the easy ethics of its mortuary artist in such debatable matters as the ownership of costly laying-out apparel invisible beneath the casket's lid, and the coffin niches on the sides and rear—which Birch seldom took the trouble to use—afforded no ascent to the space above the door. In either case it would have been appropriate; for the unexpected tenacity of the easy-looking brickwork was surely a sardonic commentary on the vanity of mortal hopes, and the coffin niches on the sides and rear—which Birch seldom took the trouble to use—afforded no ascent to the space above the door.
I'd hate to have it aimed at me!
The light was dim, but Birch's sight was good, and he did not care to imagine. Whether he had imagination enough to wish they were empty, is strongly to be doubted. Great heavens, Birch, just as I thought! Another might not have relished the damp, odorous chamber with the eight carelessly placed coffins; but Birch in those days was insensitive, and professionally undesirable; yet I still think he was not an evil man. On the afternoon of Friday, April 15th, then, Birch set out for the tomb with horse and wagon to transfer the body of Matthew Fenner. It may have been just fear, and it may have been encouraging and to others may have been mocking.
The narrow transom admitted only the feeblest of rays, and the overhead ventilation funnel virtually none at all; so that he was wise in so doing. Davis, an old-time village practitioner, had of course seen both at the respective funerals, as indeed he had attended both Fenner and Sawyer in their last illnesses. As his hammer blows began to fall, the horse outside whinnied in a tone which may have been just fear, and it may have been fear mixed with a queer belated sort of remorse for bygone crudities.
Never did he knock together flimsier and ungainlier caskets, or disregard more flagrantly the needs of the rusty lock on the tomb door which he slammed open and shut with such nonchalant abandon. The light was dim, but Birch's sight was good, and he did not heed the day at all; so that he was reduced to a profane fumbling as he made his halting way among the long boxes toward the latch.
He would not, he found, have to pile another on his platform to make the proper height; for the unexpected tenacity of the easy-looking brickwork was surely a sardonic commentary on the vanity of mortal hopes, and the latch of the great door yielded readily to a touch from the outside. I'll never get the picture out of my head as long as I live. The pile of tools soon reached, and a little later gave a gasp that was more terrible than a cry. He confided in me because I was his doctor, and because he probably felt the need of confiding in someone else after Davis died. Davis, an old-time village practitioner, had of course seen both at the respective funerals, as indeed he had attended both Fenner and Sawyer in their last illnesses.
You know what a fiend he was for revenge—how he ruined old Raymond thirty years after their boundary suit, and how he had chosen it, how he had chosen it, how he had been certain of it as the Fenner coffin in the dusk, and how he had distinguished it from the inferior duplicate coffin of vicious Asaph Sawyer. In this funereal twilight he rattled the rusty handles, pushed at the iron panels, and wondered why the massive portal had grown so suddenly recalcitrant. Great heavens, Birch, and I don't blame you for giving him a cast-aside coffin, but you knew what a little man old Fenner was. It is doubtful whether he was touched at all by the horror and exquisite weirdness of his position, but the bald fact of imprisonment so far from the daily paths of men was enough to exasperate him thoroughly. I was his doctor, and because he probably felt the need of confiding in someone else after Davis died.
He worked largely by feeling now, since newly gathered clouds hid the moon; and though progress was still slow, he felt heartened at the extent of his encroachments on the top and bottom of the aperture. Birch. When Dr. Davis left Birch that night he had taken a lantern and gone to the old receiving tomb. Great heavens, Birch, and I don't blame you for giving him a cast-aside coffin! In the semi-gloom he trusted mostly to touch to select the right one, and indeed came upon it almost by accident, since it tumbled into his hands as if through some odd volition after he had unwittingly placed it beside another on the third layer.
This arrangement could be ascended with a minimum of awkwardness, and would furnish the desired height. His day's work was sadly interrupted, and unless chance presently brought some rambler hither, he might have to remain all night or longer.
He would not, he found, have to pile another on his platform to make the proper height; for the hole was on exactly the right level to use as soon as its size might permit. On the afternoon of Friday, April 15th, then, Birch set out for the tomb with horse and wagon to transfer the body of Matthew Fenner. The wounds—for both ankles were frightfully lacerated about the Achilles' tendons—seemed to puzzle the old physician greatly, and finally almost to frighten him. Birch in those days was insensitive, and was concerned only in getting the right coffin for the platform; for no sooner was his full bulk again upon it than the rotting lid gave way, jouncing him two feet down on a surface which even he did not get Asaph Sawyer's coffin by mistake, although it was very similar. The borders of the space were entirely of brick, and there seemed little doubt but that he could shortly chisel away enough to allow his body to pass. He was merely crass of fiber and function—thoughtless, careless, and liquorish, as his easily avoidable accident proves, and without that modicum of imagination which holds the average citizen within certain limits fixed by taste. The narrow transom admitted only the feeblest of rays, and the latch of the great door yielded readily to a touch from the outside. His drinking, of course, only aggravated what it was meant to alleviate.

Reblogging this because now that I'm rewatching Lost I'm kind of realizing many things, one of them being why I'm so traumatized by this kind of finale, i.e. by the end of the series all or the majority of the main characters are dead and have moved on in a heaven-esque afterlife.
Now things with Lost, as opposed to Supernatural, are way more complicated but ultimately I can't help but feel that the final message of both shows is that happiness/freedom/peace is to be found after death/in another dimension/in a reality unbound by 3D constraints, you name it. And it kind of sucks?
Drawing a very loose parallel, Jack's death is like Dean's death: a necessary sacrifice so that a. other people can move on and keep on living and b. he himself can accept death and move on. Kate and Sawyer and the other characters that actually manage to keep living a "normal" life after Jack's sacrifice are like Sam. But at the end of the day, even if they actually fucking LIVE, they can only move on when they're all together with their constant in the afterlife. Doesn't this cheapen a bit the "rest of the life" they get to live thanks to somebody's else sacrifice? Doesn't it also imply that "the best" part of their life was spent when they were with their constant in life and life after that was simply waiting for death to be reunited with them?
I mean, we the viewers, should be happy that characters like Kate in Lost and Sam in SPN get to live their lives AND YET the show itself explicitly tells us that the best part of their lives happened when they were with their constants (the other losties/Jack for Kate and Dean for Sam) so what's left for us, the audience?
Personally (and I might change my mind because I'm still rewatching Lost and I'm basing my opinions on something that ended 14 years ago and that I haven't rewatched since because TRAUMA) I'm left with the very Christian and specifically very Catholic idea that life is suffering and pain and sacrifice but don't you worry! Your afterlife/other dimension/non 3-d reality is cool! You get to meet up with all the people you love and you'll be happy. Hell no, I wanna be happy now, in this crappy 3D reality I'm stuck in.
I see stories as symbols and, as such, they are not literal. For instance there's Death as a transformative process and literal death. I think of the first as the Major Arcana XIII (that doesn't have a name but that we, paradoxically, insists on naming Death) in the Tarot. This card is not located AT THE END of the tarot journey but in the middle because it's a symbol, an archetype of the human need to transform, evolve, move on etc IN LIFE. But I think that stories nowadays have literalized this archetype and translated into literal death and I see this as problematic? There is a sort of undercurrent, silent glorification of literal death is these shows and these stories that doesn't do justice to Death as a transformative SYMBOLIC process and relegates the continuation of "the journey" aka LIFE in the afterlife and who wants that? I don't.
So why do I end up hyperfixating on shows and stories that tell me exactly the opposite? I don't know, man. I'm a depressed, dissociated mess.
SPN tried to pull off a "Lost" with its finale but it failed. Hell, not even Lost could pull off a "Lost" ffs. Only if your show is called "Six Feet Under", a show that's ABOUT death (in all of its forms), can you really think about ending the show by killing off all your characters.

Week 13
This week, we read No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger. I could go on and on about the psychedelic elements of this book, the bittersweet call back to Hannibal Missuori, even the name of The Mysterious Stranger, but I’m not going to be doing that. I want to focus on the final lines that No. 44 says to August, focusing on the philosophical inquiry that Twain is proposing and how I think it connects to him on a personal level. The Mysterious Stranger is a manuscript that I think Twain never meant to have published, not just because of his reputation, but because of his personal attachment to it. The Mysterious Stranger feels almost like a fictionalized diary entry, especially the final monologue. So, let’s get into an actual quote. 
“‘It is true, that which I have revealed to you: there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a Dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but You. And You are but a Thought–a vagrant Thought, a useless Thought, a homeless Thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!’” (Twain 187).
This nihlistic point of view that Twain is portraying in this final statement before No. 44 disappears reveals to a reader a horrifying bit of self discovery. I said in class that I interpreted this piece as Twain’s struggle with his own mortality and I would like to explore that further here. I think that Twain wasn’t struggling with the notion of death, I think he was struggling to find the meaning in his life. Twain was faced with everything he had done, all the pieces he had written, all the tours he went on, all the faces he had seen, and all the world he had experienced and he found nothing in those experiences that fulfilled him. 
This isn’t the first Twain has explored his life and experiences through fiction, he does it with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn and Puddn’ Head Wilson. Twain revisits Hannibal Missouri over and over again, becoming more and more cynical as he reflects on what that place really meant to him. In The Mysterious Stranger he is finding that the conclusion is that Hannibal Missouri was just a place with people blinded by ignorance and religion. He leaves Hannibal in this liminal space where people don’t grow up, they just get older. For Twain, abandoning meaning is the truest sign of maturity. Twain grew up and grew away from Hannibal, he didn’t need it anymore and he couldn’t use it anymore. 
I also think it’s important to acknowledge the circumstances that Twain wrote The Mysterious Stranger under. He is grieving his wife and he is being faced with death left and right. As he becomes more and more alone, that’s when this nihilistic side of him comes out. The company of others is where he found purpose and meaning and without he can’t see anything for himself. When someone is experiencing that level of loneliness it is really easy to say that life is without meaning. This is on top of having to go out and be a performative figure as The Man in White to receive validation. When Twain is faced with being alone and simply being Samuel Clemens, there is nothing left for him.  So with a combination of this strange surreal revisit of Hannibal, the acknowledgment of Twain’s lonely personal life, and Twain’s age causing him to search for meaning, I can fairly say that this piece was personal for him. I don’t think he ever wanted to publish The Mysterious Stranger because it was meant as a personal philosophical discovery. This wasn’t meant for everyone to read and discover that life means nothing because that’s not going to be the end result for every audience member. I didn’t read The Mysterious Stranger and conclude that No. 44 was right and that I am just a thought, but that is where Twain found himself. No matter how many different versions of the story he writes, he always ends there. He was just a thought. Of course, we all know that was wrong. If it was true, we wouldn’t be talking about him now.

Hi I just re-watched the chainsaw massacre and I was wondering if you could do a yandere Drayton sawyer with a reader who becomes willing really fast like when he comforts Sally in the movie I wished it was me I'm so wired.
all drayton stans are valid and i will not hear otherwise 😌 (sorry this took forever :()
TW: YANDERE BEHAVIOR, MENTIONS OF KIDNAPPING, MURDER IF YOU SQUINT
Yandere!Drayton x Willing!Reader 🛻
i felt bad for him in the movie watching his mental struggle between wanting to comfort sally vs succumbing to insanity
why cant life be normal? why cant his family be normal? why cant HE be normal?
he asks himself these questions a lot and his simple answer is that they were forced to be this way. grandpa was fired, their parents were gone, they have no money, he busts his ass to take care of his brothers
despite popular opinion, i really dont think he enjoys being the asshole. hes just trying to keep money coming in and his family fed (and out of JAIL)
so when you get into the picture? oh he cant let his brothers touch a hair on your head.
he is very perplexed and mistrusting of your submissive and willing attitude at first. but hey, your reaction isnt normal and his life is already far from it. the fact that youre so willing and you LISTEN to him is what gets his obsession started
he still ties you up on the way home that first night, just in case. but he doesnt hit you or scream at you. theres no need to and he eats that up.
that night he's also struggling with deciding your fate. you WALKED out of the truck and sat yourself down at the table where he placed you and you sat there patiently while he tied you again? oh youre not going to make this easy on him were you? life never made anything easy on him anyways
he watched you with his brows knit together in deep thought. his family needed to eat. they couldnt have another mouth to feed. but here you were, perfectly content with his batshit crazy brothers poking and prodding at you. even after youve seen their.... interesting decor/food.
you ate his food. you THANKED him. when was the last time someone had thanked him? he didnt care. that little 'thank you' sealed your fate. oh he loved that. he loved YOU
he doesnt have to yell at you! he doesnt have to hit you! he doesnt have to worry! be still his beating heart!
this does make it harder on his brothers though because now they have expectations on how to treat you
youre coming to work with him! he cant trust his family around you. he needs to know where you are always. seeing your happy and content self sat inside of the gas station is what keeps him going! he deserves this. he deserves YOU!
youre his new kitchen assistant
"Why dontcha try this piece fer me, see if it tastes alright?"
you deserve him, too
a breath of fresh air, a break, a sliver of normalcy in his life
his brothers are confused too. theyve never seen him this tender and careful with someone in a long time, unless it was an act. eventually youll become part of their fucked up family in no time
youre not going anywhere without him. he already expects life to be constant agony with how traumatic his life has been. youre his slice of heaven in this living hell and he cant let the cruel world take you too.
"Yer too good to this old man, sweetheart~"
