salt burn was so Brian college core

I think Saltburn is sooooooo Brian coded; more like younger Brian. Highschool or younger. Realizing that people like it when he lies and plays the role they want him to. Ends really badly because he doesn’t know how to cover his tracks.

What I’m saying is Brian would never make the mistakes Oliver made AND he would have fucked Jacob by the end.

im obsessed with roman actually he's so stupid

where's jaz i just started watching the fast and furious franchise films and i hate i really hate to say it. but brian o'conner is pookie.

[ble-ed-mo-re]

hoody x tim to me is psychological torture (sexual) where they both hate each other so much that they make out after beating each other black and bloody

brian x masky to me is “this is my pet guard dog that will attack you if you come too close. hes also feral and has rabies”

hoody x masky to me is two asocial freaks of nature trying so hard to commit murder yet keep failing because theyre too busy being faggots. also its “i can make him so much worse”

brian x tim to me is if the golden retriever x black cat trope was reversed. (ie. the golden retriever is the sarcastic and mean one and the black cat is constantly trying to keep the other out of jail)

A love story: the Jock and the Geek

Jason Todd x Male! Reader

Warning: some bullying, homophobia, sexual harassment and sexual references

The hallways of the school were built like a wall of pain, you got sick and tired of hearing people say high school were the best years.

You clutched your books to your chest as you roamed the hallway, going to your next class.

A group of boys cheered as they tossed the football to each other, wolf whistling as the cheerleaders walked by.

Skin tight tops with short skirts, faces masked by beauty products. You envied that you were average looking. You envied that they all had someone to call their own.

‘Stacey, you and Jason coming to my party tonight?’ Hilary asked, her Afro hair falling down to her shoulders.

Stacey, the pretty blonde cheerleader nodded, shutting her locker.

‘Obvy, I’m hoping me and Jason will finally make out tonight’ Stacey tells her bestie.

Truth is Jason Todd is this big jock, rich daddy and drives a Porsche, however he is not shy of taking his time.

You pushed your glasses up your face as Mike, another jock, pushes you into your locker, knocking your books out your hands. Your printed knowledge scattered the floor.

‘Watch where you’re going queer’ Mike laughed as he saw you rushing to grab your books from the floor.

Mike and his buddies high fived as they watched you in amusement, Hilary gave a look of sympathy as she watched you.

‘Let’s go’ Stacey grabbed Hilary’s arm and the two left you.

‘Is this yours?’ Jason asked as he handed you a sketch book.

You nodded as you took it from him, Jason looked at the opened page as he admired your work.

‘This is some good work y/n’ Jason praised, you seemed surprised as you never realised Jason even knew your name.

‘Thanks’ you replied shyly, Jason handed you the sketch book.

‘You have Chem next right? Mr Ward is an asshole sometimes. Coming to Hilary’s party tonight?’ Jason asked.

You nudged your glasses up your face, shaking your head.

‘I’m not invited, I’m not cool enough’ you sighed, Jason looked a little sad.

‘I invite you, you should come, you’ll have fun’ he said as he placed your bag on your shoulder.

You couldn’t get Jason out of your head for the rest of that day, you smiled thinking about him.

‘The fuck?’ Mike snatched your sketchpad from your desk and held it up.

‘Hey, give it back’ you shot onto your feet trying to grab the book back.

Mike held it up in the air so you couldn’t reach it, laughing as chaos continued in the classroom.

‘Guys look, faggot y/n has a crush on Jason’ Mike said as he held up the sketch of Jason for everyone to see. Including Jason.

You ran out of the classroom as Mr Ward scalded Mike for his outburst.

Hilary felt the urge to go find you, but her body didn’t catch up.

The debate you had over going to Hilary’s party made you think hard, you’d been humiliated in front of all these people and now you have to face them.

You stood outside Hilary’s house, finding yourself there all of a sudden.

‘What are you doing here?’ Stacey asked as she saw you walking inside.

‘Hey y/n you came’ Jason cheered as he rushed over to you, his girlfriend giving Jason a weird look.

‘You invited him?’ Stacey asked, Jason nodded with a smile.

Hilary walked over and gave you a small hug as she welcomed you in. Jason walking with you to get you a drink.

The incident in the classroom was never mentioned, and Mike didn’t see you the whole night.

You felt attracted to Jason and Hilary picked up on it, but you were painfully shy you couldn’t bring yourself to say anything.

Stacey wandered off with a jock, Brian, and was gone for a while. Jason couldn’t find her when it was time to go home.

‘Has anyone seen Stacey?’ Jason asked, the remaining guests shook their heads.

You stood in the hallway of the house as Jason could be heard yelling, Stacey got fed up of waiting for Jason to make a move. So she made a move, with another guy.

Some time went by and you managed to get away from the drama, but every now and then Mike would still torment you.

‘Hey’ Hilary smiled as she sat opposite you, the littered floor of your books.

You smiled a little as she sat on the couch opposite and began reading.

The library was quiet, the two of you sat in a comfortable silence, you closed your books as you took your glasses off and cleaned the lenses.

Hilary waved as you went to go back to class, Hilary left the cheer squad after the big fight at her house.

Jason seemed angry most of the time and didn’t want to talk to anyone, the two of you were partnered for Chemistry. Then History.

Jason was only interested in talking about the work and didn’t want to engage in small talk. Though you weren’t offended, you figured he was embarrassed and going through stuff.

‘So, we need to study outside of school, is it ok if you drop by mine tomorrow after school to study?’ Jason asked, seemingly in a better mood.

You agreed, wanting to spend as much time with your school crush. Nothing would ever come from it, but you could enjoy it while it lasted.

Your glasses were tucked away as you walked to the front gate, an older gentleman was in the garden.

‘Hello sir, can I help you?’ The older British man asked, with a smile.

‘Hi, I’m y/n I’m looking for Jason?’ You asked, the older man rose to his feet.

His gardening gloves covered in mud and leaves, he pointed to the window to the left of the house.

‘Master Todd is just in there, go ahead in’ The older man said, you thanked him as you walked into Wayne Manor.

The Manor was built to the same level you would expect as a palace, but it wasn’t overdone. Considering where Jason lives, he isn’t a spoilt rich kid.

‘Hey y/n’ Jason greeted you as he spotted something different about you.

‘Hey, you have a nice house’ you smiled, visibly impressed as Jason studied your face.

‘Where are your glasses?’ He asked you, you pointed to your bag.

‘I have contacts in’ you revealed, Jason smiled a little.

‘You look better with glasses’ he said, pulling your book out your bag.

The two of you spent more time together as friends as well as study buddies, and you found yourself falling in love.

The walls came crashing down as you spotted Stacey rubbing Jason’s arm, the school hallways began feeling like they did before.

‘Stop touching me’ Jason barked, pulling his arm away from her touch.

You heard the interaction as you watched frozen, Jason visibly annoyed.

‘Baby please’ Stacey pleaded as she grabbed Jason’s arm, him shoving her arm away from him.

‘Fuck off, slut’ Jason said as he walked away, Stacey stood sad as her ex boyfriend walked away.

You did feel a little sad for Stacey, she knew she’d done something wrong but she also felt she couldn’t right her wrong. She had an amazing guy, she couldn’t be patient like Jason and lost him.

Study dates together seemed a little different as Jason had fire in his eyes, he seemed annoyed but never with you.

Jason became sweet with you but never pushed you, you felt like there was a little spark there.

‘You wanna hang out somewhere other than my house some time?’ Jason asked out of the blue, you seemed a little nervous to answer.

‘Yes’ you answered, a few seconds of silence as Jason smiled ear to ear from your answer.

The two of you began hanging out at other places, the diner, coffee shop and even just walking through the park together.

You kept feeling an urge to just kiss Jason, hold his hand. But you were scared of his reaction. Jason never had an issue with the fact that you’re gay, he never had any idea that you’re falling for him.

The TV screen lit the dark room as the two of you sat on Jason’s bed, the PS5 controllers in your hands as you played against each other.

Jason kept beating you in the game and the two of you laughed as you played, Jason howled with laughter as he commented on your playing skills.

‘You’re shit, like so bad dude’ Jason laughed as you nudged your glasses up your face.

‘I’m more into books bruh, video games are new to me’ you laughed along with Jason.

You both got closer, Jason looked into your eyes as he smirked a little. Your heart thumped in the ears as Jason seemed to lean in a little.

‘Fuck it’ Jason whispered under his breath as he connected his lips with yours.

It made your heart scream in joy and happiness as Jason pulled you into his lap. Taking your glasses off of your face, placing them onto his bedside table.

Jason’s hand on your face, fingers crossed over the side of your neck as your legs were opened, welcoming Jason.

Jason’s hot breath mixed with yours as he thrusted deep, making you pant a little.

The feel of Jason’s skin in yours, the feel of his body. The feeling of his manhood inside you made you feel incredible.

The sun hit your face as you woke up, the most amazing dream the night before, as you realise it wasn’t a dream. Jason’s naked body lay next to you.

You ran your hand down his chest and abdomen, feeling his tight abs. His strong muscle, the arms that held you in place all night.

‘Morning love bug’ Jason smiled as he saw you awake, you rubbed your sleepy eyes with a smile as Jason leant up and greeted your lips with a morning peck.

You stretched a little as you rose to your feet, a little lightheaded and your anus feeling a little rough.

‘Shit, it’s 10am? My dad’s gonna be home soon’ Jason saw his phone screen as he rose to his feet.

Towering at 6’3 as you stood at a shorter height, you were supposed to be home hours ago. Your parents were probably not going to be happy with you for staying out.

Jason kissed you goodbye as he promised you’d hang out again soon, your walk home was a little different as you still felt a little tired and sore. But it felt nice.

Jason was the first guy you’d had sex with, he was sweet and gentle when you told him you’d never had sex before.

The two of you began going on dates, officially, and Jason began to open up about his repressed homosexuality.

He dated Stacey because he thought he had to, not because he liked her. Jason took her adultery as a blessing in a way, it gave Jason the escapism he needed to be him.

Jason held your hand through the school hallway, everyone stopping to look as they saw you and Jason together.

Stacey spotted it and felt ashamed of herself, seeing Jason got the right person in the end.

Hilary smiled at you two and ran over to hug you both, congratulations being received as she walked with you two.

Graduation, Prom, College, Red Hood being born, you were with Jason through all of it.

10 years together and paying a mortgage as the two of you stuck together, you worked on your arms and legs a bit more.

Growing and building more muscle, Jason cooked naked in the kitchen after a heated night.

You admiring the view of his back and chest, not being able to stay away from him too long. Jason greeted your lips like a reward.

Celebrating festivities at Wayne manor as Jason held you on his lap, smiling brightly as he fluttered kisses on your shoulder every now and then.

Hilary was married and expecting her first by now, you were still best friends and of course, soon to be god father to her baby girl.

Life had a way of working out for those who waited, Jason waited for love and you waited for Jason. It worked out amazingly for the two of you, the two of you lay in bed together as Jason slept laying on your chest.

You stroked his hair, Jason sleeping soundly on you as he dreamt sweetly. Jason felt like he was the luckiest man alive to have a boyfriend like you, and you had won the lottery.

masky x alex x hoodie revenge beating turned sexual w/ repressed Alex sounds like the best idea in the world!! Though I would just love the opportunity to beat that lil twink as well! I was hoping you would talk about how it turns sexual? THE VERTICAL 69 AS WELL?? THIS BLOG HAS MY WHOLE HEART!! Thank you bb

- Twink beater Anon 🎉

GETTING CALLED CUTIE AND BABY IN MY INBOX ON THE SAME DAY??( IM GONNA PASS OUT /pos

okay so if you haven’t you should read this post to get an idea of the gist of this fic or else idk how much sense this is gonna make

basically masky and hoodie sort of start to get bored of beating on alex after a while, and alex is starting to not be nearly as reactive, especially since he’s dizzy and lightheaded from blood loss. he’s just sort of groaning through his gag, trying to stay conscious despite the pathetic state he’s in.

masky and hoodie share a look. someone has an idea, they’re not sure which one thought it first, but now they’re thinking.

alex was always repressed. there were rumors in high school once he was getting close with a football player in his calculus class, and he nearly lost it on brian for jokingly bringing it up, spouting every homophobic thing he could think of. he wasn’t aware at the time that brian and tim were dating. no one was

even after high school alex would say things now and then that seemed shockingly hateful, even if just for a moment, but a bit of alcohol or weed in his system would make him admit things he’d vehemently deny the next day.

what’s the only thing better than breaking alex’s body?

breaking his spirit.

so of course they’re going to take his dignity by turning him into the thing he’d hate most:

a dirty, cock-loving faggot

and when they’re done they’ll leave him in the woods with cum leaking down his chin and thighs, and he’ll wake up in the morning to birds chirping and an unbearable ache in his throat and back.

and the worst part is he’ll like it.

now vertical 69 actually has more to it than when i first wrote it down

reader gets caught in an overzealous rope snare trap set by toby (or another character, not super sure yet) that wraps around their ankle and hoists them into the air. fortunately toby finds them only about 10 minutes later, and after he’s had his laugh he decides to let them go.

the problem? he’s not very good at setting traps, and he’s rigged it to go way too high. so, when he goes to untie reader’s ankle, their face is directly in his groin.

and reader’s a slut as usual, so hey, why not get a bit of revenge with some playful licks through his jeans? and toby takes to it better that they ever expected. of course he has to return the favor before freeing his captive…

AN: Sorry if this is OOC or anything, I’ve only seen it once. Constructive criticism is welcome, this is just the second draft. I'll move it to AO3 when I get my invite

TW slurs/internalized homophobia

The kids are 14. 

They lay side by side on the roof of Doug’s house, staring at the stars. There was a light chill in the air, the first hint of Fall around the corner. Corey’s dad wouldn’t let him have sleepovers, so instead he snuck out after his dad fell asleep so they could stay up all night talking about nothing and everything.

Doug groaned loudly. “It’s so not fair, summer break’s almost over and I’ve spend like half of it with this fucking cast on my arm.”

“Well maybe if you hadn’t stolen your dad’s car and tried to drive it all the way to the theater to see some stupid R-rated movie, you wouldn’t’ve crashed it into a tree. The doctors said you were lucky you got away with just a broken arm.” Corey said, with that tone he uses when he’s pretending to be smarter than Doug, even though they both know that isn’t true.

“Bullshit, I didn’t see you stopping me! You were right there in the passenger seat. Of course you only got a concussion, nothing serious ever happens to you.”

“Because you said you knew how to drive! And it’s easy to not get hurt if you’re not a total dumbass, you should try it sometime.” Corey protested. “Why did you want to see that movie so bad anyway?” 

“Brian Kelley at school saw it, he said there were, like, 3 different girls who had their boobs out in it.” Doug said, wiggling his eyebrows.

Corey scoffed. “Gross, you’re such a perv.”

Doug rolled his eyes. “Grow up. If that makes me a perv, everyone’s a perv. Don’t you think about girls?”

“I… You’re disgusting, Doug.” Corey said, shrinking away slightly.

“C’mon, man, don’t you?” Doug’s tone was eager, but playful. He poked at Corey with his good arm, trying to get a reaction.

“I don’t… I don’t wanna talk about it.” Corey muttered, his tone betraying that something was wrong.

Doug leaned in closer. “Do you… Think about boys?” His voice was soft, hesitant to even bring up the suggestion.

“W-what? No! Don’t be an idiot.” Corey exclaimed nervously, fidgeting with his hands.

“Corey, it’s okay, you can tell me.” Doug reached out his arm to comfort him.

Corey shoved him away. “I’m not a fucking faggot, Doug! You don’t know what you’re fucking talking about so just shut up!”

Doug froze. He dropped his gaze, staring at his feet. Corey could count on one hand the number of times he’d seen him act like this. He seemed… Hurt, Scared, almost.

“I… I do think about boys sometimes.” Doug muttered. “I thought maybe you… I guess I’m the faggot.”

Corey stared at him for a second that seemed to stretch on forever. “Shit, I--  I’m sorry, Doug. I didn’t mean… I didn’t know…”

Doug wouldn’t look him in the eye, and started to stand up. “I… I think you should go. It’s getting late, your dad’ll wake up soon, he might notice you’re gone.”

Corey shot up. “W-wait, Doug, come back!” He grabbed Doug by the shoulder. Doug turned around to face him. He stared at Corey, whose face was bathed in the heavenly glow of the moonlight. 

“I… You were right. I do like boys. Not girls too, like you, just… Just guys.” Corey stammered. “I’m the fag, not you. I’m a fag just like my dad’s always said, and I’m nothing, and… And…”

“No, you’re not.” Doug said, slowly stepping closer. He reached up to cup Corey’s face in his hand. “You’re everything.”

Doug leaned in to kiss him, and Corey was too shocked to react. They stayed like that for a while, lips pressed together, two bodies melted into one, under the stars. Slowly the sun started to rise and the two boys crawled back through the window inside, without saying a word.

______________________________________________________________

AN: I loved the dynamic change in making it gay, but I felt like there was a lot of potential in there that was lost by just having Corey's name switched, so this is my attempt to add more of that gay angst

Trans-Chaser Brian O'Conner (NSFW HC)

CW: trans fetishization, transphobia, use of T-slur, use of f-slur, I'm trans

In my head Brian will always low-key be a T-Chaser. This white, blond guy, masculine, easygoing, blue collar, drop dead fucking gorgeous— this guy who could go anywhere in the U.S. and fit right in, be well liked... He's a fucking CHASER! A fetishizer! And honestly a real piece of shit about it, but one thing he isn't is DL. Brian's been buzzed at parties before, talking about how the hottest bitches you'll ever see always have cocks, and he'll say that shit to anyone in the crowd that always seems to find him at parties and meets. He talks about how they always give good head, always know how to stroke a cock, how they aren't precious with dicks like "real girls are," they know how to get a man off, they know it takes spit and snot and choking and ruined makeup, ain't no looking pretty with a dick in your throat, but god can they take a dick.

He'll say "it's the girls with dicks you want sucking you off, but it's the guys with pussies you wanna fuck." He'll say the guys worship cocks so much they'll still bend over and take it up their cunts like girls, whine for it, arch for it, get wetter than you can even imagine, and it's so fucking easy to get into their pants because the hormones leave them gagging for it all the time, swells their clits into little dicks that just beg and weep for attention. He loves it, loves that shit, loves every bit of it, he's getting tight pants just fucking talking about it and he isn't shy about that either.

He'll take swigs from his bottle with a self satisfied smile because among the guys calling bullshit or straight up calling him a fag, he knows he's the kind of guy who can get away with saying this shit. He's so conventional, so pretty, so fucking well liked it takes nothing more than light hearted defending and a well placed comeback to get the crowd laughing and on his side again, like nothing he said was serious. How could it be? That's Brian, that's Bullitt, he's no faggot, he'll fuck one of these guy's girlfriends in the bathroom before the clock strikes 2:00am, nevermind he was just talking about sticking his dick in trannies. He's just that guy, people wanna like him.

why did Justin fall for Brian?

Ahhh, I love this question because I feel like it is more complicated than answering why Brian fell for Justin but I’ll give it my best shot.

After their first night together when Justin says he is in love with Brian I think he has a naive understanding of what love is at that point. He is infatuated with this handsome, confident, wealthy guy who took him home, let him join at the hospital during one of the biggest nights of his life, and then gently took his virginity. I really like that all the way in season 4 Justin says they made love that first night and when Brian disputes it he says "It was love to me." Even if it was infatuation, Justin is right, that night, that moment, that whole experience was love to him.

Despite not being able to remember his name, Brian made Justin feel like he was the center of his world that night and Justin had never experienced that before. I think it’s that initial spark that pushes Justin to be so resilient and keep seeking Brian out. I mean how do you get over a man who says "you can see me in your dreams." !!!

Later on I think Justin falls in love with what Brian represents. Brian is freedom incarnate; he will say anything, do anything etc. When the audience meets Justin he is entrenched in his rebellious teen phase. Don't forget that Justin is 17 running around all night. He is the kid who told his teacher to fuck off, told his mom that he likes dick, and in an absolutely iconic statement after his dad threatens to send him to military school to learn some discipline replies with "I know all about discipline and you should see me take it like a man."

In many ways, Brian is in the same place emotionally as Justin in season 1. He is chasing his youth. He is angry at the world, he likes being an outsider in society and he revels in it. He doesn't care about driving around in a vandalized car painted with the word “faggot." I mean for goodness sake Brian drove through a fucking car dealership because the seller said something mildly homophobic. Justin finds Brian's fuck you attitude ridiculously attractive. The persona of Brian no excuses, no apologies, no regrets Kinney is Justin's first love.

But over the course of the first season, Justin's understanding of love and his understanding of Brian both develop. Justin is suddenly dropped into this very adult world that is different from his WASPy upbringing with two parents who have fallen out of love with each other. Justin has adult friends for the first time and he gets to see how Melanie and Lindsay love each other. How Michael and Brian love each other and Ted and Emmett and how Debbie as the matriarch loves and cares for all of them. I think he comes to the mature idea that you don’t just fall in love with someone and everything is fine, you decide to love someone and then you hold on to that decision and make lot of little decisions in order to keep loving them.

In the first season while Brian struggles with himself and his love for Justin, he keeps hurting Justin in an effort to push him away. He tells him not to trust people, he flaunts his tricks in front of Justin, he is downright mean to him at times. I love this scene in 1x17 when Justin tells Brian “Being mean to me has never really worked, you should try another tactic.” He is telling Brian that he’s got his number and that can’t get rid of him that easily. He then says “I’m killing you with kindness.” From the start, I think Justin saw through Brian’s bluster and just dug down until he could see the scared boy behind the walls Brian built around himself.

I honestly don’t think anyone else in the show understood Brian as much as Justin. Justin notices all of the little ways that Brian sacrifices himself to help his friends and others. Brian has a reputation for being selfish, but Justin peels back the layers and sees how Brian uses that assumption as cover.

And while Justin does eventually lose his infatuation, he still loves Brian because he already made a decision to love him and to love him for the man he is and not for everything he represents to him. Brian is no longer a symbol to him but a human being with significant flaws and insecurities. This is where I see a massive difference between Michael’s love for Brian and Justin’s love for him. Michael idealized Brian but never got over his hero worshipping crush. Anytime Brian acted outside of how Michael expected him to he was overly upset and confused. While Brian obviously hurt Justin’s feelings sometimes and they misunderstood each other at inopportune moments, overall Justin was able to accept and love Brian as a person not a persona.

Another one of my favorite scenes is in 1x11 after Michael’s birthday party and everyone else abandons Brian but Justin just says “I guess you’re going to need someone to help you clean up this mess.” As an audience, it’s one of our first indications that Justin really gets Brian. Although everyone else thinks he is an asshole, Justin knows what his true intentions were. I also like the use of the word mess in this scene. He is not just talking about the party leftovers but everything. It is also a small little commitment. Justin isn't going anywhere, he is going to love Brian even when it’s messy and difficult.

Of course, if I'm arguing that Justin made an active decision to love Brian that begs the question why did he leave him in season 2? I don’t think Justin ever fell out of love with Brian. Even in the cheating era I don’t think either of them stopped loving each other. Justin was very hurt and he wanted to see what life was like with someone who was deliberate about showing and stating their love for him unlike Brian. Obviously, Justin shouldn’t have betrayed Brian by cheating but I don’t blame him for wanting something else, nor do I blame Brian for not being able to give Justin what he needed at that time. I think Justin was so shocked by Ethan’s betrayal again because he is a bit naive and did not realize that someone can say they love you 10 times a day but not mean it the way you want them to. On the other hand, although Brian couldn’t let himself say it he showed Justin in every way he knew how that he was important to him and he cared about him. Also, one more reminder that Brian NEVER broke their rules and I think Justin knew that and realized that was what he wanted way more than someone who spoke the right words but didn't follow through with real action.

TL;DR Justin fell in love with Brian over and over for so many different reasons. Because he was sensitive and gentle, because he made Justin feel important, because he represented Justin's anger, rebelliousness, and the freedom he desired, because he loved Justin unconditionally even when it was messy and difficult.

[horsegirlalexkralie]

I know ive posted this exact thought before but literally. Alex had the fattest unspoken crush on Tim literally since auditions. Like Tim walks in all slouchy and mysterious and cool with dark hair dark eyes and sideburns, some friend of Brians Alex had never met before. Alex convinces him to audition, finds out he smokes and immediately is just.

“Okay Tim! 😄 Im gonna have you read for the part of the cool mysterious hot sexy bad boy best friend of Brian he usually smokes and wear leather jackets and hes really cool and hot and mysterious really attractive and sexy I think you could play him I bet”

NO FR FAGGOT BEHAVIOR he didnt hear a word of tims audition he was busy planning their wedding

Here's some homework after finishing the sidestorys.

Now that you have seen most of the game, it's time to reflect on what happened before Flynns route.

1. The idea of moving in circles is introduced very early into the game. Explain what that metaphor means for the game overall and for the side characters.

2. Every character has a signature flaw. Explain what these flaws are for each character and how they can overcome them in their respective routes. (Tip: overcoming these flaws leads to the good ending)

3. Predict what Flynns biggest flaw is and how he might be able to overcome it.

4. There are still figures in this play where we don't know who they are or what they want. Explain who these are and how some of them could be connected.

now this is homework i'll do. LONG POST WOOT!

When it comes to circles, a few things come to mind. Firstly, there's the fact that Chase, TJ, and Jenna are literally circling back to Echo - returning. The things they'd experienced had followed them out and festered, only to trigger the curse as they return. Leo's "circle" is his possessiveness over Chase. And this is partly Chase's fault. Several times while Chase was at college he stoked Leo's love through dirty sexting, for completely selfish reasons. He was possessive before Chase left, he was so possessive that he accidentally created a tulpa, and he was absolutely possessive when Chase returned. Carl's "circle" is ancestral. Just like in the previous century, The Hendrickses are the top dogs of Echo, and the Begays are scorned and impoverished. Carl is completely ignorant of this. He bathes in the riches that injustice brought him, and it bites him in the ass through Jenna's judgment of him, through the possession, through the Clue Set (i still don't have a better term for the ghost-house in his route). TJ's "circle" is victimhood. 2015 TJ is absolutely not a victim - he's self-sufficient and doing very well. This is definitely the most obvious circle. The same thing that happened to him in childhood happened to him in young-adulthood - Chase killing somebody on his behalf. Jenna's "circle" is a lot less obvious to me, as is her signature flaw. There's a lot going on with Jenna! Her ancestral ties, her family, her personality. I think...the ways she coped with an abusive family in childhood: mean-spirited pranking, giving herself a very 'adult' role in any given situation, etc, all return as she comes back to Echo. I noted in her route that she sort of wants Chase to go back to being his "old self". She's just...kind of toxic. Very subtly so. Chase's "circle" is...god. A lot. The entire continuing Echo thread of narrative is wrapped around this stupid faggot otter. This answer has already gone on way too fucking long. As for the overarching story, "circles" are sort of the nature of a literal echo. The source creates the sound, the sound becomes warped somehow, and it returns to the source through their ears. There's also the circle of me going through a route then circling around and restarting. That's why I like the theory that Echo's curse is the presence of Real Life. The "echoes" that they experience are very often somehow tinged with technology. When Janice was telling her story in TJ's route, there was an experience back in the 40s - before audio recordings as we know them today - where the entity in question had a voice that sounded like it was coming from the radio. There's also the demons - the highway monster, for example - who Chase notes as having muzzle-less faces. If there's one species I know doesn't have a muzzle, it's a human being, who don't exist in Echo's world, only outside of it. And the monsters very rarely try to kill the cast. They almost...help the story along. The highway monster keeps the cast in Echo, because the story of Echo can't continue if they leave prematurely. The demon in Jenna's route seems...fairly helpful. It kills Brian, and would've killed Heather if she hadn't agreed to not flood the town. Anyway, all that is unrelated to the question. And notice how we only see outside of Echo when it pertains to the effect that Echo has on the characters. The short stories, I mean.

This one's easy, comparatively. Leo's signature flaw is his delusion. He's so delusional he psychosis'd himself a submissive&breedable chunter ghost. It's only after Chase outright rejects not just Leo, but Leo's behavior, that he's able to move on. Carl's signature flaw is his dependence. He's dependent on his parents, he's dependent on Flynn (and vice versa, kinda), and he thinks he needs Chase. At the end of Carl's route, it's pretty clear. He finally gets over the idea that he can't be an individual. The way to get to Carl's good ending is telling him to reject dependence on James. Jenna's signature flaw...is hard to describe. It's like I said before, she's just kinda toxic, but when I think to what really happened in her route, what comes to mind is her decision to go after Heather and stop her from flooding the town. I think...for a long time, Jenna refused all sentimentality. She disrespected Chase and Leo's relationship, she completely turned her back on her family (which wasn't wrong of her, but in Runaway she didn't even seem that broken up about it. Like, not particularly emotional. But she'd get emotional if prodded about it, like she was just holding it back), and even littler things like, her exploitation of Chase's fear of spiders. Which, his arachnophobia is absolutely kinda funny, but it comes from a really dark place that she doesn't really acknowledge. It's only when she became sentimental, enough to try and stop Heather, and save Echo, that the good ending happened. TJ's signature flaw is his soft backbone. He's too shy. There's something to be said about how much Chase was acting like Leo during TJ's route. Leo's good ending only happens when Chase outright says "the way you're acting isn't right, and I'm leaving you over it." TJ never says that to Chase. He runs away. TJ leaves people wondering about him. He lets them get the wrong idea. He can't just...say No. That's why he kept agreeing to manual labor with Janice, and why he couldn't make it clear to Chase that he's not interested. And obviously Chase shouldn't have kissed him, but it stemmed from Chase's misinterpretation of TJ's thoughts, which isn't really the otter's fault, just his mistake. Chase's signature flaw is the way he positions himself like a bystander, like he's just not culpable for any suffering, and yet is entirely the cause of all of it. Everyone's trauma (except Jenna, I think) is at least partly due to Chase. He's so incapable of taking responsibility that he FORGOT HE FUCKING KILLED SOMEONE! Just like TJ, he never made his feelings clear to Leo, choosing to ghost him then lead him on for 3 years, and he never owned up to how fucking mean he was before college. Even when he got caught watching porn, his instinct was to avoid his parents for as long as possible, rather than just...have a conversation. An uncomfortable conversation.

Fuck, I don't know. There's a lot I don't know about Flynn. For basically everyone else's routes, he's absent for the majority of the story. I think Flynn...holds on. He holds grudges and theories, which is why he flips the fuck out on TJ in particular, because he suspects that TJ killed Sydney. He holds his grief for Sydney down tight. He lets it isolate him from the others. He lets it turn him bitter and aggressive. His fixation on Sydney's death is why I'm scared to pair him with Sydney's killer. He's only going to let go of Sydney if he finds out the truth, I feel like. And by then, he'll have bonded with Sydney's killer to some degree.

Another toughie. The first thing I think of is the smoke monster from Carl's route. What first comes to mind is how elemental the smoke monster is. The curse has been in the land since before anybody inhabited it. It's determined not just to harm our cast (poor Raven!) but confuse even the ancestral spirits themselves. Because even when those people were alive they were contending with whatever came before them, whatever the Indigenous Meseta people were cooking in the Echo shitpot and such. I keep also coming back to that connection I made between the smoke monster, which is present alongside the ancestral spirits, and the fact that the characters' ancestors are present in The Smoke Room. I still feel like that's related. There's also the fucky demons, like Jenna's Closet Monster and the Highway Monster, but I've already mentioned what I think they are.

Felt inspired by one of my friend's @ruztyryan real genius fic, so i wrote a bit more of the ship Chris x Vince (color of money). It deals with Vince's worries about meeting two of Chris's friends, but it will have more of a bittersweet vibe about it. Anyway since it is their birthday, I decided to post what I have so far.

Fic snippet under the cut!

Vince had spent far too much time fixing his hair. Far more than usual. But he really couldn't help it. Nerves had taken hold of him harder than they had before.

When he dated Carmen it was simple. It was just them. He didn't have to impress anyone else just to be with her.

Not that he had impressed Chris’s friends to stay with him… right? Sure Chris’s friends meant a lot to him but it wasn't like if he failed to please them he would break up with him…

Vince shook his head, damn, he just repeated his own thoughts. He was in a downward spiral, part of him knew that. The other part… well, remained in the spiral.

That being said he was quickly brought back to reality by a gentle kiss on his neck, followed by hands circling around his waist.

“If you use any more of that hairspray you are gonna get a headache not hungover.”

Chris's voice was smooth as ever and even if he was teasing Vince knew it wasn't any ill intentions behind it. 

Mostly because Chris told him that if he took this tone, that's what he meant.

Vince's hand gripping the hairspray fell to his side, only to lift it slightly, setting it down on the dresser.

“What if they don't like me?”

Chris sighed as he moved from breathing against Vince's neck to leaning his head against the other man's.

“They will.”

This time he sounded much more serious. Like he wanted to leave no room for doubt.

But it was still there, stewing in his stomach.

The lack of response got Chris to speak again, “We don't have to go.”

A lie. Vince knew Chris wouldn't back down from a promise. And that's what he had promised to his friends Ick and Mitch. That they would get to meet his new partner… partner.

“Do they… do they even know my name?”

Chris breathed in and out. Then hummed, “I haven't told them much of anything.”

Ah. That could be bad, what if they didn't know their friend liked men… or would accept a guy like him? Vince tried his best to keep his breathing steady, “So they don't know-?” 

“No. I figured you would tell them in your own time.” Chris spun Vince around to face him, now Vince could see the smile on his face, “Like you did with me.”

Vince found his face turning hot, his cheeks burning, and then he chuckled, “It was hard to hide it from you with you grinding against me.”

Chris smirked, kissing him on the cheek, seemingly unbothered by the heat, “So. It's not like they are gonna do that.”

“Sure…” Vince rolled his eyes, “They might be too busy being pissed at you for not telling them you have a boyfriend.”

He meant to keep the sharpness out of his voice, but sometimes fear makes it impossible. As much as that was attempted to have been drummed out of him… it just happens.

Chris frowned slightly at the tone, but it was only there for a moment, “They always knew I was a bit… eccentric. It won't be too much of a shock.”

“Eccentric?” Vince huffed, “Is that what we are calling it these days?” It was kinder than faggot, but not by much.

“It's what my mother calls it,” Chris said in a tone far too casual for Vince's liking. Vince tried to read the expression on Chris's face but if there was hurt behind it, he couldn't find it.

“Chris…” Vince sighed. Was this how the whole night was gonna be, him struggling to understand what was going on? And suddenly finding his words missing? Indeed he opened his mouth and nothing came out.

There was a moment's pause before Chris sighed, and his expression finally became gentler, “Ick already knows. And even if Brian doesn't take it well, we can handle it.”

Another deep breath from Vince, “... I guess I can't really argue with you about that.”

“You can.” Chris replied back simply, “If that's what you want.”

Something about the way Chris said that put him at ease, just the fact he could fight back if he wanted to. If he wanted to bail he could. 

Not that he was going to.

“Hey, you know me, I don't like to lose.”

Chris smiled and leaned down for a kiss, lifting him up slightly.

THE TIM X BRIAN X ALEX ONE.... WOAGHH...

HAHA IM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT ONE

alex will be thoroughly humiliated don’t even worry about that. he DEFINITELY won’t be able to deny being a dirty masochist faggot after “the twins” are done with him

masky and hoodie have a knack for knowing what the other is thinking, so when hoodie suddenly crouches over a bound and gagged alex, the violence unexpectedly ceasing and instead giving way to a tense intimacy, masky understands in an instant.
