stress vs love cut scene concept from fabian's chapter!!
fabian's chapter ended up so much longer than i thought it would be. there was a scene concept where adaine and fabian break into rizs apartment to investigate and see if they can find out anything about baron, but it got scrapped for 1. time, 2. to avoid having to think about logistics, 3. the purpose it served for the plot/themes didnt work as much as i wanted it to, and while it probably would have worked out if i kept hammering at it, I'm happy with the chapter as it is. that being said, i have a few unfinished snippets to share!!
this scene was originally going to take place before the 2nd dream sequence:
âWhoever the fuck you are, I have a gun and Iâm not afraid to use itâFabian? Adaine?â âHi, Rizâs mom.â âWhat the fuck?â âHi, Mrs. Gukgak,â Adaine says sheepishly, getting up from the floor. âSorry about your window.â âThe windowâsâkids, what in the world are you doing here?â âWeâre, um. Weâre worried about Riz.â Sklonda sighs and puts down her gun. âYeah,â she says. âMe too. Do you guysâyou, or any of the other kids, do you have any idea whatâs happening? Heâs been soâŚâ she rubs her forehead. There are bags under her eyes, Fabian realizes. âHe hasnât been like himself,â Sklonda finishes. âDo you think we couldâŚâ âKidsâŚlook, normally, I might say yes. Iâm really glad heâs got friends like you in his corner, but itâs three in the morning and heâs asleep, soââ âWe should let him sleep. Yeah.â âPlus there might beââ Adaine shoves Fabian in the side. âOw!â He clutches his side. âWhat was that for?â Sklonda eyes them suspiciously. âKids? Is there something I should know about?â âMaybe. Weâre not sure yet.â âIs it something dangerous? Is Riz in danger?â Adaine hesitates. âMaybe,â she says. âWe donâtâthatâs why weâre here. We think itâsâŚitâs complicated,â she finishes lamely. âItâs Baron,â Fabian says. Adaine shoves him again. âOw!â Sklondaâs eyes sharpen. âRizâs boyfriend. Yeah. I talked to Jawbone about it, do youâyou kids have met Baron, right? Do you know anything about them? Anything you havenât told us?â Adaine and Fabian look at each other. âNot really,â Adaine says unhappily. âTheyâre dating Riz, and theyâre probably not great, considering theyâre like, Nightmare King adjacent or something. But we donât know how, or what, or whyâwe donât know whatâs happening with Riz.â âOkay. Okay. I reallyâŚRiz could use all the rest he can get, soââ âYeah, we werenât really planning to talk to him tonight anyways, what with the powerful evil partnerâ-â âPowerful evil partner?â âUh. Yeah. You know about the hands?â âThe what? I mean, I guess Kristen mentioned something about hands a while agoââ âYeah, exactly. Mrs. Gukgak, the point is, we donât want to put Riz in danger. Or any more than heâs in already. Weâre justâŚwe need more information. Normally, Riz is the one whoâd be breaking and enteringââ âFabian.â âAhem! I mean, gathering information.â
âWe should have brought Gorgug.â âWe should steal Rizâs tie.â âWe cannot steal Rizâs tie.â âHeâs asleep! And weâre trying to help him.â âYeah, and you were trying to help him when you asked about Baron during lunch.â Adaine goes silent. âSorry. I didnâtâsorry. You, uh. You tried. Itâs not your fault.â
âMrs. Gukgak, have you been having problems with your heating system?â âNo. Not that Iâve noticed.â âYouâre sure? No problems with your heater, or like, windows opened, or anything? Itâs been normal? You havenât felt colder than usual?â âWell, I meanâŚwe donât turn the heat on super high here. But now that you mention it, I think Iâve been wearing warmer clothes inside than I usually do. And I think Riz has started wearing gloves, but I thought he was trying out a new look, and I didnât wantâyou know how he gets, right?â Adaine nods. Sklonda lets out a breath. âYeah,â she says. âItâs notâI donât know if itâs something big enough for me to really notice, but if it helps, I do think itâs been a bit chillier than normal. Why?â âJustâŚthinking. It might be connected, Iâm not sure.â âRight. Let me know if thereâs anything else I can help with, alright?â
âThat was useless. If we had RizâŚâ Fabian trails off. If they had Riz, they wouldnât have had to do all this in the first place. âYeah,â Adaine agrees.
plus an additional bit of fabian's voicemail at the end of the chapter from before the scene got cut :))
"Weâve been doing some investigation. Me and Adaine, that is. Youâd be proud of us. Or maybe not, we did get caught almost immediately. And we were also breaking into your apartment, and I donât know how you would feel about that. Maybe I shouldnât have said that. How do you delete voicemails? Uh. Well, I thought I would tell you that, you know, we tried. Investigatingâs hard, the Ball. Honestly, I donât know how you do it. Itâs, uh, a very impressive skill, Iâm figuring out. Itâs really cool that youâre so good at it."
#fantasy high junior year#fanfiction#ao3 fanfic#cut content#i do love this scene a lot#mostly because sklonda's in it#she's great i love sklonda so much#but it had to go#sometimes it comes down to finishing writing a scene you don't know how to finish#or having a completed chapter#rip the disaster investigative duo#also cut because i would have felt so bad if fabian's chapter ended up longer#kristen's set the pace at 5.8k words#i really thought the rest of them were going to be shorter and id have to work to get them within 1k of kristens#having 1 chapter per bad kid is so troubling for me i need them all to receive the same amount of love and focus#this is the equivalent of making room for all your stuffed animals on the bed#because if anyone is left out youd be wracked with guilt#the only thing making me feel better is that kristen also got screen time in other people's chapters#you have to understand i love kristen so much#i love all of them so much#in case you couldnt tell by the fic that this is about wherein i go through all the bad kids

I swear to god one of these days were going to see a video of Amaury Guichon and he's going to be making some wings and they are going to look dope as hell, the detail of each feather will be breathtaking, he'll spray paint them to perfection, but as the video goes on, he's not building any sort of winged creature, just the wings. And then there's a human-sized harness (also made of chocolate, somehow, he can do it). And he's attaching the wings to the harness. And he's putting the harness on and he demonstrates how he can flap the wings. And then he'll be off. Out the window and up and up and up. And we'll be looking at the livestream (it's a livestream now) and we'll scream "No, Amaury, the sun! It's going to melt the wings!". But he knows this already. And he is free.
#i was thinking 'damn that man is going to build a tower of Babel made of chocolate some day. his hubris is out of control'#and then i got mad at myself when i realized i had gone for the tower of babel instead of Icarus when it fits much better#he's too powerful guys#amaury guichon#chocolate guy#mogologue#60k

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.
the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.
i had like, fifteen raw eggs.
i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.
except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.
so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.
#i feel a kinship with that snake#would that i could be a simple tube#and eat my fill of eggs#but being a person is rather nice too#my wife is a saint#and i promise that most of the time she is the goblin and i am the Serious Guy#but i had a little pique of insanity and you know what it was my junior year of college#and i deserved to just go a little insane#you spent 65 hours a week being Rational and then you go home and eat like twenty raw eggs

yâall justâ thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twinsâ Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesnât smoke once in the showâ has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kidsâ doesnât swear when theyâre around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effortâ Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrupâ learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it rightâ buying new sheets, new mattressesâ avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Fordâ looking at the attic room he made wondering âis this enough will they like meââ trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesnât betray the fact that he was there hours earlyâ watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beachesâ then the first night theyâre there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.
#stanley isnât perfect but the fact that he made tangible efforts to be a better guardian just makes me ache so much#he has so much love inside him and it had nowhere to go until the twins came#man. The show hits harder as an adult methinks#gravity falls#gf#stanley pines#grunkle stan#thisisnotawebsitedotcom#stan pines#dipper pines#mabel pines

I know a company that does both these things and no surprise, when you shop there, the employees are always miserable and agitated.You should kill your managers in such situations imo. The only reason I receive treatment slightly above this is i'm lucky enough to have managers who are also bothered by these business practices. The water one is especially bad if you have heat intolerance, I was so sick regularly before I switched to a department with more leniency regarding water.
Depending on where you live these things may violate labor laws though so if you're in the same situation look into it. However in my experience any labor law violations happen without consequence regardless

the curse of adhd:
i will remember with absolute clarity, when the thought strikes me that i have a text to send someone, that this is the fourth time in three days i've attempted to send this specific text
i will forget, in the time it takes me to pick up my phone, that i picked it up intending to send a text
#every time#managed to actually send it today!#but also i have been reminded to post this by the fact that i just had a task to do in two different rooms just now#so i turned the light on in the room i was getting to second because my brain would go 'oh why is the light on that's weird'#and check the room and it would remind me to do the second task#in the less than five seconds between turning the light on and exiting the room#my brain went 'oh the light's on better turn that off before i leave'#and i had to manually catch myself#PLS.#adhd

the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth
#m text#everyone rbing this without the addition and commenting 'op did you mean sisyphus' yes. yes i did#'where did the discord screenshot reblog go did you delete it' well in the 10mn after posting it someone had a funnier reblog#so i was like oh. ill delete the less funny one i did for the funnier one#and then. guess what got big.
