WHAT THE SMILING CRITTERS LIKE TO DO IN THEIR FREE TIME WITH THEIR S/O

DOGDAY

• Strangely, it was the one that was the most difficult for me to do, but I feel like he could play with you.

"I bet you 5 waffles you don't catch me!"

Dogday was escaping from his S/O while smiling happily, Shortly after, he rested on a tree and felt a hand touch his back.

"AH! S/O HOW DID YOU FIND ME? I SWORE I HAD HIDDEN WELL!"

Spoiler: you found him because you could see his tail moving from side to side

KICKINCHIKEN

• ok I'm having a hard time thinking of something for Kickin but maybe he could play soccer while trying to get your attention.

"S/O, look at this! Look look!"

Kickin tried to throw the ball into the sky to get it on his head and let the ball bounce off his head bounced but he threw it too hard and ended up making his head hurt.

"OW THAT HURT— DON'T LOOK, DON'T LOOK!!!"

BOBBY BEARHUG

• Bobby hugs you while showering you with praise.

"Muak muak I love you for everything you are and everything you will be in the future!"

Bobby gave you small kisses on your cheeks while hugging you

"I love you so much so SO MUCH!!"

HOPPY HOPSCOTCH

• You two start running around, trying to jump as high as you can or play tag.

"Come on S/O, we must jump higher to reach the moon!"

Hoppy said, jumping with you while you seemed to be about to collapse, they had been jumping non-stop for almost an hour and it was already starting to affect you

"After we reach the moon, we'll eat ice cream! How does that sound?"

CRAFTYCORN

• the two of you draw things you see around the place.

"Huh what are you painting, darling?"

Craftycorn turned around to see your painting of what appeared to be a butterfly on a flower

"My oh my, it looks so pretty but...you missed painting these edges...!"

PICKYPIGGY

• You two go out on a picnic to eat while talking

"And after that I told him to pick on someone his size and it turned out we were the same size!"

Picky said with her mouth full of bitten apple pieces.

"So we fought and I won, oh I forgot to tell you that it also turned out that he was the leader of the kindergarten mafia—"

BUBBA BUBAPHANT

• Maybe at home or in the yard studying, why? Because you two we're bored

"So what is two hundred ninety-four divided by one hundred fifty-two?"

Bubba was teaching his S/O math even though his S/O had an expression of agony and suffering.

"...are you going to respond or...?"

I love writing about this little group💕��

HIII

uh

🧸 to all the critters! I wanna know!

Bubba - Books, Bubba's ultimate comfort object is books. There's nothing he loves more than snuggling down into a comfy place, like a beanbag in his library or under the shade of the tree. he can just open his book and slip into another world for awhile, his favorite books are books about space

Kickin - He has a little teddy bear from when he was a kid. In the cartoon I could see him taking it on overnight trips and camping episodes, in true kids cartoon fashion I imagine that the teddy talks to him but only he can hear it, only the teddy bear flops when someone comes in (like in Doc mcstuffins).

Catnap - Almost everything in his room can count as his comfort objects. but i think anything on his bed fits the bill more, his blanket, his pillows, the fact that his bed is shaped like a crescent moon (yes this is an actual thing and they're baby cradles but they're cute and they fit Catnap so-) second would be his mobile or his stuffed lion

Hoppy - Her soccer ball, nothing detresses her more than a good old game of soccer. She used to try and play soccer with her little siblings but they were never interested.

Bobby - Bobby's entire house is filled with heart motives and positive messages but if I were to pick a comfort object for her, I'd say a heart pillow that she sleeps on every on every night.

Dogday - Despite the implications that comes with it I feel like Dogday likes wearing dog collars. Maybe it gives him a sense of belonging or safety

Craftycorn - she seems like the type that collects rare art supplies and never uses them cause she likes admiring them, that being said I could see her taking comfort in old crayola colors like "Dandelion" or "Bluetiful"

Picky - I'm actually stumped on what her comfort item would be so my basic answer is her baby blanket or a bib that looks just like one she had as a baby

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐇𝐔𝐈𝐙𝐎𝐓𝐋 - 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝟔

Summary: When Y/N needs help on a hunt, she doesn't expect Bobby to send Dean Winchester to her. Now the two must work together to solve the case and Dean has to deal with Y/N's sarcastic and biting personality, that maybe he likes a little too much.

Pairing: Dean × F!Reader

Warnings: none, i think. Just some kissing and a mention of sex

Word count: 1657

Series

"I'll have it engraved on my tombstone" she joked, referring to Dean's words, offering him a hand to hold on to pull himself up. Then she went back to hugging her other arm to her chest.

The leather of her jacket was torn, her shirt was stained with blood and not from the monster she just killed.

"Are you okay?" They they both asked at the same time.

"Well, I'm fine, thanks for asking!" a voice exclaimed from behind them, before either of them had a chance to answer. Michael, now walking towards them, didn't seem to have a single scratch but looked kinda upset.

Dean laughed at the sight of the shocked but visibly pleased to be alive man as he shrugged off the beast's slobber in disgust.

"We'd better bring him home." suggested Dean playing with the dog-like head on the ground, rolling it under the sole of his boot, just as if it was a soccer ball.

They burned the second body too and got in the Impala again, leaving behind the silent lake and the wood where only the sound of nocturnal birds could be heard.

During the journey almost no one spoke, probably too tired to say anything. A song on the radio kept him company on the way.

"There we go." Dean said as he parked and the three got out of the car.

"What will you do now?" Y/N asked Michael.

"What do you mean?" He said frowning, probably wondering what was yet to happen to him after everything he'd been through over the past few days.

"You know, many people become hunters after finding out the existence of the supernatural world." Dean explained.

Michael watched the two as they exchanged a knowing glance and burst out laughing. They were making fun of him.

Michael sighed. "I can't believe it's really all over. Thank you guys." For the first time in days he seemed really calm.

"Don't worry, that's what we do." Dean said before gasping in surprise when the man hugged him. "God, I'm so glad to be alive." He mumbled when Dean patted him on his back, before walking over to Y/N and extending his hand. It was probably some kind of peace sign and maybe he was even trying to apologize for running off and putting everyone in danger.

"Thank you for saving my life." Michael said as she grabbed his hand, shaking it.

"Hey, I almost died to save your ass, you don't even hug me?"

"I don't know if I can, you still scare the shit outta me." He laughed as she pulled his hand towards her and wrapped the man in a quick hug. This time it was the man to be surprised.

"Take care." She added before he walked towards his house and waved at them with his hand when he reached the threshold.

"Aw, you will miss our new little friend, isn't it?" Dean joked as they got back into the car.

“Oh, shut up." She rolled her eyes. Dean glanced at her hiding an amused smile. Annoying her would always be his favorite hobby.

"Let's go back to the motel" She murmured, exhausted, leaning her head on the seat and closing her eyes.

Dean and Y/N soon returned to the motel, more tired than ever. The only thing their eyes could see at that moment was the only bed in the center of the room, the one they had slept on for an entire week.

"That's why the dogotter killed those people," Dean thought out loud, as he slipped off his jacket and abandoned it on a chair. "He wanted to protect his.. son. Or daughter maybe. I'm not sure, I paid no attention to their sexual attributes as they tried to eat me alive."

"Very noble for a monster," Y/N joked, sitting down in front of the table in the corner of the room, pulling her emergency kit out of her bag.

"Let me help you." Dean said sitting down next to her. He disinfected the bite on her arm which had now stopped bleeding with hydrogen peroxide and then bandaged the wound. It didn't need stitches and it wasn't too deep, she was lucky.

Dean felt watched as he worked on her arm but never looked up to see if he met the girl's gaze. He decided that he would just enjoy the silence that had fallen between them.

"Thanks," Y/N murmured when he finished.

"Anytime" he replied, glancing at her quickly, starting to get up and then being pushed back down by the girl next to him. Her steady hand was on his shoulder.

"Hey, what-" He didn't have time to finish the sentence as she placed her hands on both side of his face and pushed him into a kiss.

Dean really wanted to say "finally" but it would have meant breaking away from her lips, so for once he stayed quiet as he entered his tongue into her mouth and pushed her against the mattress, causing her to end up with her back completely pressed on the bed.

"Dean," she said after a while, probably breaking the kiss when her lungs needed air.

"What?" he asked without moving away from her.

"You smell like shit," she said with a laugh, her lips slightly redder than usual.

"Oh c'mon, do you always have to ruin the best moments?" He said pressing his lips against hers one last time.

"Go to take a shower, I won't sleep next to you if you smell like that." She said as she indicated the door with a nod of her head, then sitting down on the bed to be able to take off her shoes still dirty with damp soil and the creature's blood.

He looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm not coming with you. I'm too tired to have sex right now. Now go, I promise not to spy on you through the keyhole."

"There's no keyhole on that door, Y/N," he pointed out, now with a slight smirk on his lips.

"And that's why I won't spy," she smiled even more, leaning back on the bed.

Dean shook his head in resignation, taking his things and disappearing into the next room. It wasn't his lucky day.

After some time, when Dean came out of the bathroom half naked, he expected to hear some ironic comment, instead he found Y/N sleeping with her head buried in the pillow and her mouth slightly open.

He couldn't help but smile as he got under the blanket and pushed her body against his with his arm.

It was a good feeling.

"Goodnight sweetheart." He said, sure he didn't wake her up.

"Goodnight love." She replied instead.

The night passed quickly, or at least that was Dean's impression. He was so tired that sleeping until the sun came up felt like closing his eyes for a few minutes. However, he was sure for the whole time they had slept he had kept Y/N's body pressed against him and every time he moved even a few inches, she sought out his body and repositioned herself close to him.

It was nice to see her like this, to see her trust him and let her guard down.

He hadn't had a single nightmare and he liked to think it was thanks to the girl who had slept curled up next to him.

In the morning, they packed their bags, checked that they hadn't left anything in that room, then closed the door behind them and returned the key to the owner of the motel.

Dean shuffled over to the Impala, one bag slung over his shoulder and the other held tightly in his left hand. He opened the trunk and looked around: it was better to make sure there were no people around before opening it.

He arranged the weapons together with the others, abandoned the second bag and then closed the trunk.

"So what now?" Y/N asked walking up to Dean with her hands in the back pockets of her black jeans.

"Now we go get Sammy. And we'll wait until we find another case to solve together. I'm sure Bobby and Sam have found millions already."

"Together?" she asked with a smirk.

"Of course, do you expect to get rid of me that easily? You kissed me first, now you're stuck with me."

She laughed as she slowly walked up to him. "Oh, yeah, I'm sure you didn't like it at all."

Dean captured her lips in a quick kiss, "Honestly? Not really. But we can try again" he replied before leaning towards her again.

When they finally parted, after a few glares from the people passing by, Dean got into the Impala and she into her old pick-up parked next to Baby.

"I'm sure I could beat you!" She said rolling down the window of her car as Dean did the same, alluding to a race to see who could get to Bobby's house first.

"Beat me? Please." Dean laughed as he turned on the radio, started the engine and drove away.

"Hey! I didn't say "go!" the girl yelled with a laugh as she hurried to catch up with him.

Those two really were a weird couple, maybe that was why they worked so well together.

Dogday journal entry #23

Still getting used to being back home, it isn't easy....at all, catnap is trying to show he is good...A bit too much if you ask me.

I already told him, If he does anything...like that again-

that's not the point

Everyone is well, Hoppy and Kickin have started to get back into playing soccer against each other

Bobby has been busy planning events and meet-ups (Things she was going to do before Playtime we vanished) She been trying to boost everyone spirit

Picky....Picky hasn't really picked cooking back up since being here, I can't blame her but it's sad seeing her not want to do something she loved, Bobby has been doing the cooking

I can't say good things for Crafty either....She just...shut down, Doesn't talk anymore, doesn't engage, doesn't even draw anymore...I'm going to try to help her later Bobby is joining me

(Side note: Make sure Bobby gets rest)

And Bubba has started to at least sit on his chair outside more, so there's progress! He...still distant after returning I tried talking to him but it's clear he doesn't fully trust us. I hope he can fully overcome this . . . And Sourpuss....I don't trust him, I know Hoppy says he isn't going to hurt us, I know that but it's catnap I'm worried about. Sourpuss is just always ready to attack him at any moment If Hoppy didn't make him promise that he wouldn't...I don't think catnap would be alive right now

Just the other day Hoppy was talking to Bobby about something and catnap was sitting near them just laying there most likely sleeping

and Sourpuss ... He just stared at catnap, didn't break eye contact or anything, didn't move, didn't blink, and his eyes, have you seen those?, They're so empty like he doesn't have a soul

I'm sure if catnap had so much as twitch Sourpuss would have attacked him

He's too on edge, never relaxes, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat

Not to mention his size, he's double Bubba height and can throw us like a ball (It's scary how strong he is)

Trust be told I have to be ready just in case anything happens, if I learned anything it's that I cannot be caught off guard again

I can't hesitate like before with Catnap

CATCHING MY BREATH, STARING OUT AN OPEN WINDOW

Lillian DeVille is based on Lil from Rugrats. She is a 23 year old human, soccer coach, and uses she/her pronouns. She has no powers. Lillian is portrayed by Maude Apatow and she is open.

CATCHING MY DEATH, AND I COULDN’T BE SURE

Lil was always a bit of a tomboy. Growing up with a twin brother, they would often play the game of trying to be the best and to out-gross each other. She was never one to turn down a challenge, be it eating bugs or drinking toilet water, and she was not afraid to get her hands dirty. As she grew up she stopped playing in mud puddles and started caring a little more about hygiene, but she still enjoyed a bit of rough housing. It was a part of her. She found sports to be a good outlet, especially soccer, and liked to think she had a good balance of ‘girly’ hobbies to go along with that. She didn’t care to label her interests or water herself down. She liked shopping at the mall just as she liked kicking balls around the field, and she never saw the point of choosing. Over the years though they weren’t attached at the hip anymore, her brother remained her favorite person. It didn’t matter that she moved out of his room and started to make her own circle outside him and their little group, she would stand up for him no matter what... to the point she ditched friends for not liking him. She couldn’t remember how she got involved with coaching kid’s soccer, but she quickly became more passionate about it than she was her college classes. The children reminded her of a simpler time in life, and she could see herself and some of her friends in them --- the way they’d all bicker and argue and laugh together. It almost made her wish she could go back in time and ditch all of her sudden responsibilities and decision making. Lil wasn’t sure what she really wanted to do with her life; she’d spent so much of it enjoying the present that now that it was time to plan her future, she was doubting the path she was headed down. Most of her friends had things figured out, even her brother that wasn’t actively working towards a goal had a goal. Kimi was the only one who seemed just as clueless as her, but she wasn’t half as worried about it. She tried to ignore the nagging thoughts that she should know something by now, she was only twenty three, but she didn’t want to look back in fifty years still lost.

I HAD A FEELING SO PECULIAR

❀ Rina Snow: She’s seen Rina at several of the soccer games and recently found out she’s there to support some of the students she’s worked with, which Lil thinks is the sweetest thing ever. One of these days she swears she’ll strike up a conversation with her. ❀ Robert Zimuruski: When she visits her brother at work, she’s spoke to Bobby in passing. He just seems like a cool guy, but it feels weird to ask him if he wants to hang out sometime... Would it be weird? ❀ Adora Winter: Sometimes Lil likes to go to the races, and she finds herself rooting for Adora more often than not. She has no real reason, Adora just seems so sweet, and she has a cool car.

THAT THIS PAIN WOULD BE FOR EVERMORE

Want to Know a Secret | Freida McFadden | Published 2021 | *SPOILERS*

Everyone has secrets.

YouTube baking sensation April Masterson knows the secret to the perfect gooey brownies. Or how to make key lime squares that will melt in your mouth. But if you keep watching her offline, you may find out some other secrets about April. Secrets she'd rather you didn't know.

Like where did her son go when he snuck out of the house? What was she doing with the local soccer coach behind fogged windows? And what's buried in her backyard?

Everyone has secrets. Some are worse than others. April's secrets are enough to destroy her.

I'll make sure of that.

April has the perfect life: a loving husband, a son in the second grade, and a mildly successful YouTube baking show where she shares all sorts of secrets on how to make the best baked goods. The Masterson's live in an affluent neighborhood, the neighbors all lawyers or prominent individuals and it becomes a tight-knit community.

While April is filming one of her shows, she had sent her young son, Bobby, outside in order for her to focus. After filming concluded, she receives a text message from an unknown number indicating that her son isn't where she thought he was. Which turns out to be true, as Bobby is no longer in the backyard. Frantic, she and her husband, Elliot, begin searching for him within the house and out. She tries her best friend and neighbor, Julie, but they aren't home. She then tries the new next door neighbor to see if they had seen him. When Maria comes to the door, she finds Bobby inside the Cooper's residence. Although upset that he left without telling anyone where he was going, April is happy that she found her son, and in the meantime, is able to get to know the new neighbors better. Maria and Sean Cooper recently moved into the home where the former owner, Mrs. Kirkland, tumbled to her death down the stairs. They have a young son the same age as Bobby named Owen, who is a soccer prodigy. Sean offers to take Bobby with them to play soccer sometime, and April promises to try to get Owen onto the team despite it being past registration time.

April holds true to her promise, getting Owen a spot on the team by flirting with Mark, the soccer coach. We later learn that April and Mark had a fling, and April swears up and down that it was just one kiss one time, and nothing has happened since then. However, we learn that April is lying to save face, and that she and Mark had actually been having a passionate affair for a while.

As time goes on, and she gets to know Maria and Sean better, April finds herself falling farther away from Julie, who has begun pulling away from her. During a soccer game, Bobby kicks the ball into the air and it comes down on her son's face, nearly breaking his nose. April attempts to apologize, but Julie wants none of that.

More instances occur where Maria seems to be calling April out, like when April told her that she usually doesn't read the book club books since it always ends up becoming a gossiping session. However, Maria and Julie ended up enjoying the book and discuss it thoroughly during the club instead of gossiping like normal.

In the meantime, the text messages from the unknown number continue, and April has suspicions that they're coming from Maria after finding a burner phone in her purse. During the fall carnival, someone made a dummy Facebook account using April's name claiming that she had the flu and would not be attending, and now April's bake sale isn't doing well. And the culmination of all of Julie's anger comes out when Bobby allegedly pushes her son off the top of a slide, and he falls to the floor, breaking his arm in the process. Bobby swears that it was Owen who did so, but other people saw Bobby do it. Julie is adamant on wanting to sue them, but instead she tells April that Bobby is no longer allowed to play with either of her kids.

April also understands that Elliot is having an affair with his gorgeous young secretary named Brianna, and when he comes home one day and tells April that Brianna is pregnant and is planning to keep it, April begins to lose faith in everything. Even her own mother is accusing her of being evil, and eventually, the entire world is going to know the truth.

And that truth is...it isn't Maria who is torturing April with those text messages. It is, in fact, Julie. Julie and April were never as close as April made them out to be, at least not in recent years, when it was becoming clearer and clearer that there was something wrong with April Masterson, and her son. Julie had begun to suspect that April was involved with the death of Elliot's former secretary, Courtney Burns, although her death had been ruled a suicide officially.

But, this didn't stop Julie from being suspicious of her. After finding a burner phone of her husband's he was using in his own affair, of which Julie didn't care, she began using it to torture April and watched her downward spiral.

It turns out that April was involved in Courtney's death, although Courtney did end up overdosing on pills on her own, it was due to April's influence in doing so. Elliot was planning to leave her for Courtney, but after her death, he ended up staying. April is adamant that she was not involved in Brianna's murder, despite there being witnesses who saw her following Brianna and the two of them talking outside of her apartment building. It is also true that April has her mother drugged and basically a prisoner inside a nursing home, with the help of her former practitioner. Her early on-set Alzheimer's diagnosis was false, and they are just keeping her locked up as she knows the truth about Courtney Burns and April's involvement. April used her mother as an alibi and she went along with it until she couldn't take the guilt from hiding the truth for so long.

When April is going to attack Maria inside of her home as she still suspects it is Maria that is writing the messages, Julie calls for back up from a detective friend she worked with while working as a lawyer, and goes over to help protect her. The police arrest April, who confesses to her involvement in the death of Courtney Burns, but still won't admit that she killed Brianna despite the eyewitnesses.

We later learn, after April is in jail and Julie and her husband Keith have called it quits, that it was April's mother who had killed Brianna. She was able to escape from her "prison" thanks to a negligent nurse, and drove to Elliot's office, where she sees Brianna but instead of seeing Brianna, she believes it to be April. She begins following Brianna home, believing it to be April and kills her. Maybe her Alzheimer's diagnosis wasn't so far off after all.

Definitely a suspenseful read on this one - I didn't know which way was up the entire time, and I was shocked while learning the truth.

[to-my-son]

Hello feooss!

Today is Sunday, September 3rd, 2023, I haven’t written since May. Humberto you just started the fall season of soccer and you’re actually liking it, it’s a pain in the ass for me, your dad isn’t very involved so it’s a bit stressful for me. I get off at 5pm rush home to get here by 5:30 and drive back to Anthem to make it in time for practice by 6pm, but you like it, and I think it’s good for you so I’ll do whatever it takes. You’ve also started Kindergarten, you’re first day was on August 7th, you’re not a fan of going to school. I try to motivate you but you just want to stay home and play. Your teacher is Ms. Perillo, and she’s awesome. Unfortunately dad hasn’t been around much, and there’s been a sad morning or two during this time. I dropped you off recently and you were sad that you hadn’t seen your dad in 2 weeks and I bawled my eyes out as soon as I got in the car. I wish I could make that better but I just can’t.

You’ve made some friends, Oakley and Greyson, you also go to school with 2 of your soccer teammates, he twins Grey and Grant. They’re also in Kindergarten. Now that’ you’ve made friends you barely touch your lunch, I can only assume it’s because you’re too busy talking. Stop talking and start eating little boy! You got punched in the eye by a little girl, Bobbie Martinez, because she was bullying your classmate Raven, you tried telling Bobbie that she was being rude and apparently she punched you. You forgot to mention it to me though so I assume it wasn’t as much of a “punch” as it sounds. I see how quickly you’re learning, and I’m so proud of you. More importantly I hope you’re proud of yourself. You recently volunteered me to bring snacks for your class “Pirate Booty” they’re puff chips, I’m so happy that you’re so confident in me that you volunteered me because to be honest I’m not even that confident in myself lol. This week we need to get you new cleats, your first game is on Saturday and we need you to be fast and comfortable to kick some ass! GO TIGERS FC!

Eva, where do I start with your bratty ass. You have so much sass and attitude! I am so amazed at your vocabulary, you’re the definition of 3 going on 13, and you’re fashion sense is unmatched, you have so much confidence, I hope you never lose it, and I hope you carry it forever, everywhere you go. I need to get you off the bottle because you have a strong emotional attachment to that “cold milk”. I have you on a waitlist for Gymnastics, it’s a bit difficult finding a gymnastics class that works with my work schedule and brother’s soccer schedule. I want you to try it and see if you like it. I think you’ll be good at it! The idea of dance is so cute, and girly but… I think in the long run gymnastics will be better. You’re a ball of energy, super independent, and very agile, and I want to take advantage of it. If gymnastics isn’t for you, we’ll try something else, but I’m not letting you fall behind on an extracurricular activity! You can count to 25 and you love to paint. You’ve got an artistic side, painting, coloring, singing, dancing, arts and crafts, doing your makeup and painting your nails! That’s what you’re into right now. You love all the Disney princesses and Minnie Mouse.

My little Beva, you have such a strong attitude, you’ve been getting in trouble a lot lately because Eva does whatever she wants even when I’ve told her not to. Parenting right now has been a bit challenging with you, you contradict me a lot! You’re very independent which sometimes leads to a little bit or a lot of a mess on your behalf. I know that attitude is going to get you far but right now I just need you to listen to mom a little bit more baby girl. You’re so easy to love, I’m the luckiest mom in the world to have you as my baby, both of you really. The hardest part is realizing that slowly you don’t need me as much anymore. I love seeing you grown but I also wish I could freeze time and keep you both this way forever. I know some day before I know it the stressful days of trying to get everything done for you both will be over, the mess will be less, and these baby faces and baby voices won’t be like this forever. I want to enjoy you as much as I can. There’s not enough time in the world to take you both in. I love you my babies, more than you can imagine, and I truly mean that. I love you forever.

Forever yours,

Mama

daniel larusso is not the real villain of the karate kid movies and here's why: a mega post because quite frankly, i am tired

fair warning, this is long and brings up some pretty self-explanatory points. nonetheless, i need to say these things because i have been in daniel's position multiple times and it drives me nuts when people say he somehow deserved what the cobras did to him! i'm well aware how dramatic i'm probably being but i honestly don't care. so happy reading!!!

before i start rambling, i just want to say something: i know the original "daniel is the real bully" video is a joke, and this is not about that nor is it about the people who jokingly use that phrase. this is for the obnoxious people who legitimately believe daniel is at fault for what he went through. also, i know johnny and the cobras were being terribly misled by kreese at this time! that doesn't justify their actions, rather it explains them.

1. the beach fight was JOHNNY'S fault, not daniel's!

daniel had been in california for a day. A DAY. when he met ali at the beach party, he knew absolutely NOTHING about her other than the fact that she was pretty and he wanted to pursue her. he didn't even know her name for crying out loud, how was he supposed to know her dating history?

johnny was the one who was territorial and jealous. johnny was the one who flew into a rage when he saw ali being happy with someone else. that's not to invalidate the heartbreak he felt and was still processing after ali dumped him, because those emotions were 100% real! (and not to mention, kreese was misleading him SEVERELY at this time) but johnny was the one who consciously chose to stir up trouble with ali and disrespect the clear boundary she had set.

daniel was nothing more than a bystander. he saw this nice sweet girl he liked being messed with and his first instinct was to help her. that's pretty gentlemanly if you ask me, and i'd hope a guy would help me out if i was being hassled by my angry ex. he didn't want trouble, he just wanted to diffuse the situation. he approached things calmly and nicely and JOHNNY was the one who decided to get physical. if daniel hadn't helped ali, and he'd just stood there, people would say he "had no balls" and he let ali get pushed around. but when he helps her, he "shouldn't have gotten involved". daniel didn't know who johnny was, or what johnny was capable of. all he saw was a bad situation and he wanted to help.

oh and one more thing, after daniel sucker-punches johnny, you can see him holding his fist but he also has a hand out for a shake whilst saying "ok man, now we're even!" daniel didn't want a rivalry. johnny did. daniel was simply defending ali and then himself. you're telling me you wouldn't fight back if some random guy was beating up on you? ok...sure...

2. the soccer tryouts incident with bobby...again, NOT daniel's fault!

how people manage to blame daniel for this one is laughable and embarrassing to me honestly. daniel was simply minding his own business, playing soccer and waiting to try out for the team. he probably saw soccer as an opportunity for him to find his place. as someone who has struggled to fit in and make friends for years, i totally get where he was at in this scene.

ali comes up and initiates a conversation with him and he smiles, despite having just gotten the crap beat out of him the previous night for interacting with her. he didn't want trouble, he just wanted to find connections with people.

it's JOHNNY AND THE COBRAS who ganged up on daniel. they were the ones who plotted against him. they were the ones who sent little hand signals to each other. daniel was in his own little world, kicking the ball around and not bothering anyone. BOBBY was the one who came after him, as we hear daniel loudly shout to the soccer coach.

"but daniel shouldn't have tackled and punched bobby!" nope. don't wanna hear it. if bobby didn't wanna get tackled and socked in the face, maybe he should have left well enough alone. if bobby didn't want daniel getting angry and fighting back, he should have left daniel alone. he picked the wrong hothead to mess with. again, daniel had every right to defend himself. if he hadn't, everyone would call him a pansy and make fun of him even more. the kid can't win!

this is why bullying victims don't speak up 🙈

3. the bike accident

do i even need to go into detail for this one? the cobras were 100% to blame here yet again. daniel was minding his own beeswax and they decided it would be appropriate to push him down a hill on his bike??? come on you snakes, give it a rest! daniel could have been severely injured here if not dead and i don't think anyone really acknowledges how scary that truly is.

let's put it in context: johnny and his gang were doing this to daniel over a girl. a girl! is a high school girlfriend really worth someone's safety and life? i don't think so!

4. the halloween fight. oh Lord.

this one is perhaps the most controversial since daniel did have a bit of a fault here. let me explain.

up to this point, and after the bike incident, the cobras had been leaving daniel alone. granted, daniel had been fleeing the scene any time he saw them and he avoided ali like the plague because he didn't want himself beaten up, but they really didn't bother him too much.

so i get it when people say daniel shouldn't have pulled the water prank. i really do.

but, think about it. wet clothes and hair and a ruined joint (all very fixable things!) are nothing compared to the amount of bruises, bleeding and torment the cobras had given daniel up to this point. the memories of this torture aren't exactly the easiest to get rid of, and you can't just dry them off with a towel. water is harmless. being beaten and bullied over a girl isn't.

daniel should have considered the outcomes before he did it, and i think one of his flaws is definitely his impulsiveness, but he had a right to give johnny a taste of his own medicine. even then, what he did to johnny isn't even an iota of what johnny did to him! so was medicine even served?

johnny flew into a murderous rage all over a harmless prank. johnny could have killed daniel that night and the producers confirmed that. if it weren't for mr. miyagi, daniel would have been dead or severely hurt and the cobras would have been facing charges. serious ones, at that. all over jealousy and over-protectiveness for a girl who didn't belong to them.

sure, daniel should have stayed away from johnny. he knew what johnny and the guys were capable of, and he wasn't stupid. he knew the potential risks. but johnny had no business overreacting the way he did. it was water, johnny. the kid didn't murder your family (or anything else that would warrant that type of reaction).

that's all i have to say, i think. in conclusion, yes daniel was a little punk. yes he was impulsive and it got him into trouble. however, johnny was the clear perpetrator here and none of what he did to daniel should ever be justified. 😁

Corner Kick

A Huntingbird Ficlet

Summary: Hunter takes Bobbi to a soccer game for their first date. Will he score a second date?

Read on Ao3 or below!

“Oh come on! That was clearly a yellow card!”

Bobbi knew next to nothing about soccer and even she agreed that it looked like an opposing team player tripped one of their team’s players.

“See Bobbi, that is what I mean about refs sometimes making bad and irritating calls,” Hunter said turning to her, looking thoroughly irritated.

She would be lying if she said that she didn’t find his passion kind of adorable. “Hunter, I think it will be fine. We’re only ten minutes into the game and he wasn’t even hurt.”

“It’s the principal Bobbi. Refs should make better calls.”

Bobbi smiled and patted his arm playfully. Luckily, his attention quickly shifted from the bad call back to the game at hand and his job of explaining the rules of the game to her.

“And so see now, they get the chance to kick the ball from the corner and if they play it right, one of the other players can head bunt it or kick it into the goal.”

Moments later they were both on their feet cheering with other fans over the scored goal. He hugged her so tight, nearly lifting her feet off the metal benches. Bobbi found herself laughing and blushing more than she ever thought possible.

The rest of the game carried on with this same trend of Hunter explaining minute aspects of the game, Bobbi asking questions, Hunter yelling at the ref or players, and then cheering anytime something exciting happened. There was never a dull moment though as they exchanged stories in between plays and playfully flirted for the full two-hour game. Bobbi was sure her face was set in a permanent smile by the time their team won the game, continuing their undefeated record.

When the game ended, they walked down the street to a local ice cream place. “Much better than the overpriced stuff they try to sell you in the stadium,” he had claimed.

“So, what did you think of the game?” he asked, stealing a bite of her strawberry sundae.

“I thought it was really fun. Better than I expected.” She smiled and retaliated by stealing a bite of his hot fudge sundae.

Bobbi had never been to a soccer game before, and she honestly couldn’t say it’s her favorite sport, but spending time with Hunter and his unbridled enthusiasm for the game might be her new favorite activity.

“Fun enough to come to another game in the future?” he asked and she could hear the mix of hope and uncertainty in his voice.

Bobbi decided to take the playful route. “Hmm that depends. What’s in it for me?”

Hunter grinned. “A promise for more ice cream and of course getting to spend time with yours truly, the most handsome, funny and intelligent man in town.”

He winked at her and she couldn’t help laughing and rolling her eyes. “Hmm I don’t know about all of that but throw in dinner before the game and you have yourself a deal Hunter.”

Hunter grinned and Bobbi knew she made the right decision coming on this date.

“Dinner, football, ice cream and the most gorgeous girl on the planet. Sounds like the perfect date to me.”

Bobbi blushed and hoped that this was just the first of many amazing dates.

Timestamp | Prologue | Part 1 | Part 2

Masterlist

A loud thud sounds from your room as you dance about in your new kitchen, placing utensils in drawers. You shrug it off as you hear loud cheering and more rukus coming from your neighbor next door. Why couldn’t your neighbor just be the old lady in A2?

You continue to place more stuff in their rightful place around the kitchen, trying your best to ignore your neighbor and his loud ass friends. Because you just didn’t want to become that neighbor and storm over and kick his ass along with his friends’ asses for being so damn loud and banging the walls with what sounded like a ball - which who the fuck even plays soccer inside? Well, little kids do when they're bored out of their mind and want to live wild for once and then run away when their mom finds out that they broke one of her most expensive vases.

“Hey! Did you know that you have five year old neighbors?” Jinhwan asked as he walked into the living room, carrying a few empty boxes with him.

Turning around to look at him with a blank face you replied, “You don’t fucking say?”

He frowns at you just as he was about to say something back when Bobby and Yunhyeong appear from the hallway to your bedroom and bathroom.

“Bathroom is all set and clean! Man, I wish I could have my own place, sadly I’m still dorming with these idiots.” Yunhyeong throws more empty boxes to the pile Jinhwan has made, flopping himself onto your couch.

“Hey, at least these idiots help you clean sometimes!”

“Yeah, whenever I ask Hanbin to help me clean he goes to you guys and threatens you or manipulates you to do it for him.” Jinhwan stares at Yunhyeong.

“It’s true man, he does do that to us.” Bobby speaks up from the counter behind you, his gaze not leaving whatever he has in his hand.

“He once manipulated me to clean Kihyun’s car after he was the one that had spilled choco ice cream all over the dash.” You say as you breathe deeply. A traumatizing memory for you since Kihyun had literally thought you were the culprit that his dash in his car had smelled of ice cream for an entire week, but luckily he had forgiven you and had a recording of what really happened that day.

“Doesn’t Kihyun have a dash camera in his car?”

Putting the last dish in the cabinet above you with a little help of your step stool that Donghyuk and June had gifted you - which you had cursed them out since they had made plenty of jokes about how short you were and that you just needed a little help to reach places without having Chan or Mingyu help you.

Turning to Jinhwan you smiled. “Yeah he does!” You chuckle as you remember vividly as Kihyun had called you to apologize and say that he had seen that Hanbin was the one who had spilled the ice cream, and that he would make it up to you since he had a video of Hanbin driving his car, that he had borrowed to get to a meeting that day and that after the meeting he was at he had gone to an ice cream parlor, and drove around the city in which he had made a sharp turn, which resulted in him using the brakes hard as a another car was going to make a u-turn.

“He has three camera’s in his car. The dash board one, the bumper one and he has one hidden in the dashboard in case someone decides to steal his car.”

All three guys start laughing as hard as they can as another loud thud sounds from your bedroom, following with a loud “Oh shit!”

You roll your eyes at that. Stupid neighbor and his friends.

“So-so, that means Hanbin never saw that camera?” Bobby says, a hand on his stomach.

You smirk as you look over to him, but you frown as you look at what is in his hand. “Are those my panties?!” You point at him as he stops laughing, Jinhwan and Yunhyeong stopping as well.

Bobby looks down and immediately pulls them behind his back. “No?”

“Give them back.”

“No…”

“Bobby.” He starts backing out of your kitchen and walking backwards to the living room as Jinhwan and Yunhyeong stare at you both.

“Give it!” You yell, running after him as he takes off. Both of you run in circles around your living room until he runs off to your room and shuts the door on you, locking you out of your own new room. “Bobby, I swear to god if you don’t open this door-”

“You’ll what?” He yells back from the other side of the door.

You growl lowly, an angry pout present on your lips. “I will punch you in the throat and tear out your spine and shove it so far up where the sun doesn’t shine.”

You can hear Bobby chuckling. “Why does that turn me on a little?”

“That’s because you're weird and like weird shit!” Yunhyeong yells from the living room.

“And because you stole Y/n’s panties before and keep them in a secret place back home!”

“What?!”

“And you once told us drunkenly that you had a thing for when girls are dom with you!”

“Oh my god…”

The sound of the lock clicks as the door opens and Bobby’s red face is shown, your panties in his left hand. “Give me those.” You say, snatching your panties back and pushing Bobby out of your room.

“Thanks for exposing me guys.”

“Anytime!” Jinhwan laughs with Yunhyeong, the sound of two people high-fiving being heard from the living room.

As you walk towards your dresser you feel as if someone is watching you, but as you turn around you see that Bobby isn’t there and is most likely already in the living room with the other guys. You frown to yourself and put back your panties that Bobby had originally taken out of your drawer. 

Looking around your finished unpacked new room, you feel those eyes again, but you don’t know where they are coming from. Must be the realization of moving alone. But you feel as if it is not just that. With a shrug of your shoulders, you turn and leave your room, your neighbor and his friends finally quieted down as you make your way to your living room to challenge your friends to a game of Mario Kart.

You’ve Got It Bad

Seth x Reader: Wanting you

Part 1: “Dreams” by Ella Eyre

Part 2: “You’ve Got It Bad” by Usher

Part 3: “Never Give Up on Love” by Bobby Tinsley

***

Y/n POV

Oh, no, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Ooh

When you feel it in your body You found somebody who makes you change your ways Like hanging with your crew Said you act like you're ready But you don't really know And everything in your past, you wanna let it go

Over the past few months, Seth and I have been…I don’t know…pulling towards one another. Literally. I didn’t notice at first, but Kayla pointed it out one day after school on our day off. It was shocking, to be honest. I never saw it before, and when she explained with facts, I couldn’t deny nor confirm it. But after that conversation, I did notice there was a change.

“I’m telling you, Y/n!”

“Shhhh! You’ll wake up the monster.” I say, whispering to her. The monster, aka one of my two guardians Taylor. Taylor can be described as a temperamental ass bitch. I mean, Kennedy isn’t any better, but at least their words aren’t harmful like Taylors. They’ve never put their hands on me (because they know I will knock their necks), but they are slightly intimidating.

“Sorry. But still, for example, usually in Mr. Harpender's class, you guys would sit on the opposite end of one another. Suddenly, you guys are now in the middle of the class. If Jeffery Delmer wasn’t a teacher-pet and had to be at the desk before everyone else, I swear you guys would be on top of one another by this point.” She smiles with excitement while I roll my eyes.

“Well, regardless, he hasn’t been at school in, what, a month or so? So, who knows? Maybe if he comes back, we’ll see.” I shrug my shoulders.

“Look, I’m just saying, you should make the first move. Look at him! He’s such a sweetheart and a cutie! He looks in your direction all of the time.” I feel a rush of heat consume my cheeks as my face brings up a smile.

“I’ll think about it…IF he comes back. If not, then it was just meant to be as such.” Kayla rolls her eyes and plops over to the other side of the bed.

“You’re lame.”

That night, as I was lying in bed, I thought about what Kayla said and how we had gravitated towards each other. The feeling is, nice? Frustrating? Overwhelming? I don’t know, it just feels-

“What was that?” I whisper to myself. I look towards where the noise was coming from and walk over to the window to check. I slightly pull my covers back, and I look around. I suddenly remember the dreams that would display almost every other night. The one where Seth comes to my window but wake up before anything happens.

As I search for what it could have been, my eyes land on something that I can’t see. I know whatever it is, they’re watching me watch them watching me. I don’t move my eyes from them until I hear a creak in the floorboard in the hallway. I turn to look at the door, then look back outside. Whatever is out there is gone. I rush—quietly—back to my bed and play as if I fell asleep. I suck at acting, so I grab a book and lay in an awkward position sitting up so that if they look in my room, I’ll have a reason as to why my light that I stupidly neglected to turn off is still on.

“Wretched child…” Kennedy said as she comes in. I “wake” up to see her looking at me and act as if I was asleep.

“What have I told you about keeping the light on past 8:30. And why are you still up?” I roll my eyes and respond in a tired voice.

“I didn’t mean to,” I toss my book on my side table, “I was reading and fell asleep,” I say, moving into a more comfortable position. Ken rolls their eyes, leaves, and almost slams the door shut. I’ll never understand their issue with me. But then again, I am, and I quote, “trophy child. To show the community that they care and were willing to take in a ‘troubled’ teen out of the system” end quote.

I wasn’t troubled, and I wasn’t in the system. My parents knew them and trusted them with their guardianship while they went on their 2-year missionary trip. But no matter what I tell my parents, it’s always conveyed back to them, and I get the fucked-up end of the stick. Because, you know, who would believe in the teenager that has sent countless of proof of the fucked-up situation you put the child in.

I've been there, done it, fucked around After all that, this is what I found Nobody wants to be alone If you're touched by the words in this song Then baby

You got it, you got it bad When you're on the phone Hang up and you call right back You got it, you got it bad If you miss a day without your friend Your whole life's off track You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house You don't wanna have fun It's all you think about You got it bad when you're out with someone But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else You got it bad

The following week, Seth came back and hot-fucking-damn. Wherever he disappeared off to change him that much, bless them oh so dearly.

“Hey, there’s your boyfriend.” Orion nudges me; I turn to look at him and Kayla and tell them to shut up. I guess Orion said it loud enough because not only Seth, but some of his other friends that consisted of Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, and Jake all turned to us, and I had never felt more embarrassed than now. I hear Kayla and Orion still laughing, so I take the opportunity to bump Orion (lightly) towards Kayla and watch them almost fall on one another in the hallway. I can feel them look at me, and I try to ignore it by laughing, turning around, and head to class.

“Hey!” Orion yelled.

“Damnit, Orion! You’re heavier than you look!” Kayla said.

“No! You’re just weak.” Orion came back.

Seth’s POV

“So…” Embry started.

“Not now, Em,” I said, rolling my eyes, already knowing what was about to come next.

“Yeah! Lay off, little stalker. It’s not his fault that he couldn’t resist knowing if Y/n is his imprint or not.” Paul said. I push him off me and straighten my shirt.

“Yeah, well, at least he found out that she was. YOU, however, are still seeking and hoping you do.” Jared says. Paul looks at him as if he’s offended.

“I thought you were on my side?!” He shrugs his shoulder while finishing up his pancake in his hand.

“Anyways, now I say you REALLY have a reason to talk to her. You remember what Sam said-” Quil said,

“Before or after yelling at him for running off?” Embry asked,

“Both. You can’t run away from your imprint. No matter how hard you try. So, go up to Y/n. What’s the worst that could happen?”

“She rejects him” –Embry,

“Kicks him in the balls”—Paul. I grabbed myself a little. I’ve seen her on the soccer field…that would hurt.

“Laugh-in his face” –Jared,

“Puke?” –Quil,

“Why is that a question?” Jake asked.

“She doesn’t seem like the type to do it,” Quil responded, and everyone nodded in agreement.

“Can you guys shut up!” I say, walking into the school. Jake catches up with me while the other guys laugh.

“You know they’re kidding, right. She’s not going to do anything like that. I told you before, she does like you. I have Kayla in my history class, and I saw your name was mentioned in their group chat.”

“But did you see what it said completely?”

“Well…no. But according to Bella, that could be a good thing.”

“Yeah, could, but it could not be.”

“Oh, come on, Seth, you’re bringing us down. You’re supposed to be the cheerful one of us. Paul is Satan-” Jared said, ignoring Paul’s reaction

“Hey!”

“Embry is the awkward one,” he continued,

“I take offense to that…”

“Jake is the lover boy, a self-reserved cupid even,”

“Seriously, man?” Jake whined

“Quil is…well…Quil.”

“Yeah! Wait…” Quil responded, confused.

“You are the cheerful one. And I am the handsome one! We all have a role, and we all need to stick with it.” Jared finishes. I won’t deny that that didn’t put a grin on my face, but what put on a full-blown smile was what I heard not too far from where we were standing in the hallway.

“Hey, there’s your boyfriend,” Orion whispered. Without the enhanced hearing we have now, I would have never heard that in this loud hallway. Then in unison, we all looked in their direction. When I made eye contact with Y/n, I could basically feel the embarrassment flowing off her. She looks towards her laughing friends (who noticed us looking too), nudges Orion, who was off-balanced, who knocks into Kayla and on to the floor. Avoiding our gaze, she smiles and walks towards her class.

“Well, I guess you really don’t have an excuse to not ask her out, huh, buddy,” Paul says, patting my shoulder and walking to class.

“Wait for me, Satan!” Quil says behind him.

When you say that you love 'em And you really know Everything that used to matter, it don't matter no more Like my money, all my cars (You can have it all and) Flowers, cards and candy (I do it just cause I'm) Said I'm fortunate to have you girl I want you to know I really adore you All my people that know what's going on Look at your mate, help me sing my song Tell her I'm your man, you're my girl I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world Ladies say I'm your girl, you're my man Promise to love you the best I can

All-day today, I had been coming up with a plan to go and talk to her. Paul advised me to meet her after school and just ask her. Believe it or not, he isn’t that bad. He’s an ass, that’s for sure, but out of everyone, he might play jokes on you, but he’s the most honest.

“But how! I’m not you, Satan. I’m a saint, not a sinner.” He gives me a side-eye and rolls them.

“You’re lucky I like you more than the others. Look, she works at the diner, right? Just go to the diner and sit at one of the tables she waits for and start there. Be slow and careful; don’t be like Jared’s dumbass and basically scare her off within the first introduction of meeting each other.” I laugh and nod.

“Thanks, man.” He nods, and we head towards his truck.

After getting home, I talk to my dad for a while and tell him my plan. He was happily surprised at Paul’s advice. I tell him I’ll be back before dinner and head over to the diner. I was tempted to take the shortcut and shift, but I already know Sam will kick my ass. So, I just settle jogging up there. I’ll sike myself out if I think too hard on it.

See I've been there, done it, fucked around After all that, this is what I found Everyone of y'all are just like me It's too bad that you can't see That you got it bad, hey

You got it, you got it bad When you're on the phone Hang up and you call right back You got it, you got it bad If you miss a day without your friend Your whole life's off track You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house You don't wanna have fun It's all you think about You got it bad when you're out with someone But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else You got it bad

I make it to the diner and place myself in one of her booths. I can see her talking to Orion while stacking up her tray for the table nearby. After she drops off their food, she heads over to me. I act as if I need to look at the menu and watch her from my peripheral vision and sees she sees me and almost hesitates to come by. She does, and when I look at her, I’m lost for words. I forgot where I was for a few seconds, and I somehow managed to talk first.

“Hi,” I say. She snaps out of it and smiles.

“Hi. Um, hey,”

“Hey.” I smile back.

“Hey, um. So, uh, wha-what can I get for you?” she said softly. I smile and order a double stack burger, some fries, and a Dr. Pepper. And she left to go ring it up and place the order. I pull out my phone to act as if I was busy doing something, and I overhear (not intentionally!) her conversation with Orion.

“Bravo! That was wonderful to watch.” He said, attempting to keep it together. “But if it makes you feel better, he looked like he was lost. If neither one of you had said something, I would have paid you back from earlier and knock you over.” I smiled. I wouldn’t complain about catching her since I’ve already fallen for her.

“Will you shut up. Last time you said something, he and his friends heard it.” She sticks her middle finger at him and brings my drink.

“Here you go. Sorry about that. Is there anything else I could get for you while you wait for your food?” she asked politely.

“No, thanks, though.” As she turns to leave, something without my consent calls her again,

“Wait.” She turns back around, “Do you have the assignment for Mr. Harpender’s class. I haven’t been at school for a while, and my cousin is really strict with getting back on track.” She smiles and nods her head.

“Yeah, I have it in my backpack. I can run out and go get them for you.”

“Sure. But um, it can wait until afterward. I don’t, you know, want to get your notes all messed up or anything.” She smiles and says, ok. Another family comes in, and she excuses herself to help them. I take this time to calm my nerves. Orion brings my food and slides in the opposite booth.

“So, asked her out yet? And don’t give me that look; everyone and the teachers can see how badly you guys like each other. Look, I know you’re shy, and all, but I’m here to inform you that she will say yes, her favorite color is ____, she hates _____, and she thinks, well thought, your long hair was overly luscious and was jealous of you. Anyways, good luck!” he says, but turns around and says, “And if you hurt her, I’ll kill you with a napkin.” And walks away.

Narrators POV

After eating, Seth decided to help Y/n with cleaning the table. He pays for his meal and walks to her car with him. She goes to the trunk of her car to get the notes out for him. She makes sure all is in there and double-checks that it isn’t her doodle notebook containing some secrets and doodles he never should see.

“Here you go! Just, you know, let me know if you need any help. I know sometimes my handwriting can be sloppy, but if it’s hard to read, just tell me.” She says, smiling and closing her trunk.

“Yeah, I will-” a horn goes off, and a female voice is calling towards the two.

“Hey, little shit! Come on! Mom said dinners ready!” Seth rolls his eyes at his sister Leah.

“Sorry about her, that’s my sister Leah. Great, isn’t she?” She smiles and laughs lightly. “but anyways, thanks to Y/n/n. I’ll let you know if I have any trouble. Which, I probably will, but just in case, I’ll let you know. Oh! Before I forget! This is for you.” Seth handed her $5 for gratuity and ran to the truck.

“Thanks! Have a good evening!” and walks into the diner. It wasn’t until she got home and counted her cash that she noticed a piece of a torn off napkin folded inside of the $5. When she opened it, she saw scratchy handwriting that had a set of numbers and a name.

Text me sometime if you’d like.

-Seth.

“Even when you’re not in person, you manage to be polite and shy.” She shakes her head and takes a leap of faith.

Y/n to Seth: Hey! It's Y/n. Lol, I see you have some tricks up your sleeve. But anyway, how’s the notes coming along?

Seth to Y/n: Hey! Well, you know, I try at least. I have to take my shot. And I assume it’s working? And they’re helpful! I just might need tutoring for the makeup exam.

Y/n to Seth: Lol, I promise, it's working Seth 😊. And sure! I’m off Fridays and Saturdays, and I only work morning shifts on Sundays. Just let me know when, where, and what time.

Seth to Y/n: Good! Cause this would be so embarrassing, and I would beg you to not tell anyone, ha-ha. How about Friday at the library? Afterschool? Or Saturday if that’s better! We could meet at a friend of my place. She’ll even provide snacks 😉.

Y/n to Seth: Ha-ha, Friday is fine. If we need to, we can use Saturday as a touch up/review. I mean if she doesn’t mind…. :/

Seth to Y/n: She won’t, I promise. But I’ll ask to ease your worries 😊

Y/n to Seth: Lol, thanks! Well, imma head to bed. Night Seth!

Seth to Y/n: Night Y/n/n!

Y/n couldn’t help but go to bed easy that night with a smile on her face but a hint of worry in the back of her mind. Whereas she wanted to be happy, she was having a hard time because the thought of her overly religious parents and rude guardians knowing about him would just bring hell. What also worries her is that if she does keep going and they become a thing, would she argue like Taylor and Kennedy?

On the other side of the line was a boy surrounded by his brethren’s making fun of him for texting his imprint. And to all surprises, Sam joined in.

“Oh, leave him alone! I’m glad Seth is with Y/n! She’s an amazing person and perfect for him. And plus, Jared, need I remind you that you were 40 times worse than that?” Emily said. Bless this woman, Seth thought.

“I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of Paul, to be honest. I had to channel my inner Paul. Well…the flirty side, or, at least I tried.” Seth said, Paul smiled, and everyone was shocked.

“Satan helped you?” Jake said.

“If someone calls me Satan one more time…”

“Fine, Lucifer.” Jared says, then turns to me, “You really had this guy help you? And not me?”

“The situation with Kim…” was all I said.

“Is everyone going to always bring that up?!” Jared argued.

“Yes.” We all said in unison.

You got it, you got it bad When you're on the phone Hang up and you call right back You got it, you got it bad If you miss a day without your friend Your whole life's off track You know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house You don't wanna have fun It's all you think about You got it bad when you're out with someone But you keep on thinkin' 'bout somebody else You got it bad

2x02: Everybody Loves a Clown

Then:

Dean wore cute hospital PJs once. And I’m being really flippant over a very cool Then sequence. 

Now:

Medford, Wisconsin

At a fair, the locals are enjoying the rides, and carnies, and clowns (and fire breathers--I mean, I spent many a summer at the county fair in my youth, but I guess, never the one in Medford, WI...wow.) A family with a young girl is enjoying the day. The daughter sees a clown in the distance and waves. 

Yay CLOWNS! If the fucking thing didn’t look like Pennywise’s depressed cousin, maybe I wouldn’t be so skeptical right now. 

Later that night the family drives home in their little Smart Car when the daughter sees Pennywise’s cousin again. Even later, the daughter, hopped up on cotton candy and Fun Dip, can’t sleep. She looks outside to see Pennywise’s cousin chillin’ in her backyard. TOTES NOT CREEPY. She races downstairs to let him inside. 

Meanwhile, the brothers give their father a hunter’s funeral. Sam is overwhelmed and wants to know if John said anything to Dean before he died. WHelps, NO Sam, NOT AT ALL. Dean lets a Single Man Tear fall because he’s not emotional and not lying and not a big ball of pain and anger and relief and guilt. 

One week later, Dean’s at Bobby’s fixing up Baby (and finally grooving to the actual music of the show, thx Netflix for always ruining my season 1 experience). 

For Is This Pornography Science:

Sam wants Dean to admit SOMETHING. Dean wants to bury it all REAL deep and continue to fix his soul car in silence. 

Sam also has a voicemail on their dad’s phone from a woman named Ellen. They agree to head out to find the woman. 

Sidenote: I love that the minivan only plays AM 70’s music. GOLD. 

Anyway, they end up at a place called the Roadhouse. They head inside to the seemingly deserted bar. There’s a man sleeping on the pool table. Dean is accosted by a young woman with a shotgun. He gets the better hand without issue though. She punches him though and Sam comes out from the back at the end of another gun. Boy, this is a real fun crowd. 

Meet Ellen and Jo Harvelle. They know Sam and Dean, but Sam and Dean don’t know them. And I know John is fresh in his grave, but fuck you, man. Way to isolate and terrorize your children their whole lives. Ellen tells them she could help with the demon. She then puts it together that John is not alright. Sam admits that the demon probably got him. 

Ellen tells them that Ash can help them with their cause. Enter: Ash and all his mullet glory. 

Dean and Ash flirt unnecessarily. Ash is a genius and can’t believe what John accomplished. (I mean, what does a genius have to do with hunting, but ok. Sam and Dean are geniuses too but I’d say it’s their street smarts that’s kept them in the game this long.) 

Anyway, Ash can track the demon. He just needs time. Dean tells Ash that he really likes his hair, and then the camera thought that was too gay so it cuts to Jo’s butt. It’s a cute butt and all, but Dean’s still very bisexual. 

Sam asks Ellen about a folder of case information. 

Dean asks Jo about how Ellen got caught up in the hunter life. Jo’s dad was a hunter. He passed away. There’s a moment of Dean thinking about Jo in more than a friendly stranger way but that passes really quickly. Jo calls him out but Sam interrupts (as he does). He’s caught a case!

Sam actively wants to pursue a killer clown case. What kind of upside down world are we living in? Oh right, the world where Sam works cases to process/push through his grief. The brothers try to figure out what’s happening. Dean wonders if it’s a cursed object since it’s moving from town to town with the carnival and it’s happened in the past. Time to find that needle in a haystack!

At the carnival, a disillusioned kid wanders around the funhouse with his dad. He sees Pennywise’s cousin. 

He’s scared but his dad tells him they’re his friends. That night, little Evan lets his new friend into his home to murder his parents. Boy, I dread thinking about the panel of therapists he’ll need in life.

The brothers decide to pose as carnival workers to blend in to find the cursed object. Dean immediately gets off on the wrong foot with one of the carnival workers, who is blind and has an apparent hair trigger temper. Papazian, the worker, is also adept at whirling blades right into a bullseye which is definitely #goals. Dean then pulls an older brother and makes Sam sit in the clown chair during their interview. “This place is a refuge for outcasts,” the carnival manager says. SOLD!

The boys patrol the carnival with EMF meters, until Sam discovers a real human skeleton dangling in the funhouse. YEESH. Papazian overhears Dean talking about the case over his phone and stops him to ask about “EMF” and “skeletons.” Dean scrambles for an explanation. Um, they’re writing a book about...ghosts! Phew! Saved it, Dean Bean. Before the end of the day Sam and Dean witness another kid who sees an invisible clown. Dun dun DUN. 

Sam and Dean tail the family to their home and then sit outside waiting for the clown to appear. It’s much later when a light turns on in the house. The little girl is awake and she’s ready to bring in her new playmate!

My GOD. 

Dean and Sam intercede in the most shotgunniest of ways, by breaking into the house and blasting away at the clown. The clown suddenly fades to nothing and launches out the door.  

Invisible clown on the loose? G R E A T

Later that morning, the Winchesters ditch the van in the woods off the side of the road.

While they walk, they discuss emotions. Sam pushes Dean to grieve in a healthier, more open way. But Dean is OKAY, he’s FINE! He pushes Sam in return to deal with their Dad’s death and stop trying to bury himself in hunting. 

Later, with emotions safely squashed into a tiny space in their chests again, they go over the case. Ellen’s crew turned up a likely suspect: they’re dealing with a rakshasa, which feeds on people and can turn invisible. They eat every 20-30 years so it lines up with the earlier carnival. Carnival manager Cooper worked at both carnivals, and is now their top suspect. 

Sam breaks into Cooper’s trailer, while Dean heads to Papazian to borrow a brass rakshasa-killing knife. Papazian invites Dean to look for the knife in a trunk, only Dean discovers a clown wig inside. “You?” Dean asks before Papazian morphs out on him.

Dean breaks out of the trailer and runs into Sam. He didn’t get the knife, but he found the killer! Good job? Unfortunately Papazian is currently in invisible mode. Sam races for the funhouse to get some brass, heading for the piping hot pipe organ to steal a few blades. 

In the funhouse, knives whirl out of nowhere, pinning Dean to the wall. He pulls the fire extinguisher system and the invisible shape gets trapped in the mist and strobe light. The Winchesters stab it with a brass pipe and it fades away into a pile of clothes. 

Back at Ellen’s bar, Jo congratulates them on a successful hunt. She heavily hints that Sam’s a third wheel and Sam miraculously leaves so that Jo can make her move.

Dean admits that he’d be heavily on the side of massive flirtation, but he’s been having a rough time lately. “Wrong place, wrong time,” Jo surmises. Yep! 

Ash wanders in. He scraped out all the data from John’s notes and turned it into a genuine demon tracking program on his computer. He’ll notify the Winchesters if omens turn up. 

Ellen offers the Winchesters spare beds but they head back to Bobby’s so Dean can drink and work on his car and pretend that he doesn’t feel things. Sam admits that he’s got a lot to work through about their Dad’s death. He feels guilty that he never mended fences with their dad, and admits that he isn’t okay. He tells Dean that he knows he’s feeling the same. Dean admits his own feelings, except instead of words he uses a crowbar to bash the living hell out of the rear trunk of his soul. I mean car. Dean bby

DEAN SMASH:

I feel like a friggin’ soccer mom!

Was there an article in the Demon Hunters Quarterly that I missed?

I know what you're thinking, Sam. Why did it have to be clowns?

“Planes crash!” “And apparently clowns kill!”

I swear, the next person who asks me if I'm okay, I'm gonna start throwing punches
