[dez-wade]

Would like to add my 2 cents onto the topic of Tallulah and Richarlyson's argument. I didn't live blog anything during that bc I realized fairly quickly that this argument they had was something that hit me very personally bc I've lived through it. It hit even harder due to me being an older sister with a younger brother

I can only speak about Bads stream bc that's who I was watching during this whole thing going on, so I dont know how it truly started besides Richas saw the painting Phil got from Cellbit and rightfully got upset about.

Just wanted to say how I loved Bad's handling of the situation with Tallulah. Reasoning with her while also validating her feelings bc it's so easy for parents to go "you're older, YOU have to apologize first" which... I have so many feelings about, but I could see that the conversation happening between BBH and Tallulah would be one of understanding and cooling down from an emotional moment. Also how Bad gave examples of his own experiences. How he's had fights with siblings or friends and understanding that SOMEONE has to apologize first bc you realize you both are in the wrong (which they were)

But chats refusal to see it like that truly got on my nerves. How no matter how many times Bad explained that they're kids and they'll overreact it just went through people's heads and they'd get upset about the situation again.

I can understand the reasoning some chatters had, but everyone NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND that this is roleplay. Yes the eggs are most likely played by people in their late teens to early 20's, but they're playing little kids, who don't have the emotional maturity of an adult, so that's how they're going to act: childish.

I thought Bad handled everything pretty well with the information he had, so I was very surprised to see that people were upset about it. I think there was no one on the server that could've handled that situation perfectly, and quite frankly I don't think there wasn't even a way to handle it perfectly at all considering you're dealing with two little kids and one way or another they'll get upset in which decision you make. Bad was great.

Forever's side for me was also completely understandable. I agree that he should have handled it better, but I also could see why he acted the way he did. A lot of people forget that Forever felt way more responsible for Tallulah because she's not his kid, Philza gave permission to take care of her after rejecting it once and he doesn't want to mess up. He will always be able to take care of Richarlyson after all this, but if he does something wrong with Tallulah, Philza will not let him take her again. It was a different type of responsibility. It was someone else's kid in his care!

And both Forever and Bad are also justifiable in thinking Richas was the immature one in that situation, because in their POV he put a material object over his relationship to his sister. That material might have a deeper meaning, but his sister would always be more important. Of course we, the audience, are very aware of Richarlyson's lore and that painting can't be compared to a normal real life painting, it's something much creepy and deeper than that, but their reaction over a situation like that for me was completely normal. If you're a parent of two kids, the last thing you want to see is one consider the other dead just because of a painting.

Also Richas never truly speaks about them besides saying he hates it, and that was the first time he actually expressed himself better about the whole Montelyson situation. So I hope he can communicate better in the future and their parents can get rid of that creepy thing once and for all.

MASTERLIST OF WANTED CONNECTIONS

OOC Note: Below you’ll find a list of connections I’d love to have for my characters. These connections can be filled by existing characters within the rp, or new ones! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if anything interests you. Nothing here is set in stone, all is open for discussion and fun plotting.

For LADY YUAN ANYA ( Read more about her )

YUAN FAMILY: One or two relatives from the YiTish region of Wan, or potentially, people who grew up in Westeros like Anya did. If they’re cousins, Anya only has male cousins back in Wan. The WC could be other members of the extended family. Any FC filling this connection must have Chinese heritage. You’re encouraged to contact me to chat more about this.

Helpful links: Yi Ti lore | WC for YiTish people in the North

For LADY SEFFORA MERRYWEATHER ( Read more about her )

ALLIES: Longtable suffered because of the civil war within the Reach that was started by Seffora's late sister, Sienna. Since becoming a ruling lady, Seffora focused on rebuilding and aiding the widows and orphans of Longtable. Her focus now is to gain more allies and build strategic relationships that can help her address the needs of her people and her land. One particular concern is the decreased male population after the civil war. Seffora needs to build alliances that can bring in workers, soldiers and men that can become people of Longtable.

Helpful link: Merryweather background

COUSIN/LORD MERRYWEATHER: Seffora didn't grow up close to her cousin, since she spent a good portion of her life in Goldengrove as Tirius Rowan's ward. An important event in this lord's life is that he got into some trouble not long ago as he attempted to run away and elope with Harlon Tarly's sister, Talia (who is now Lord Gael Hightower's wife). I'm very open to the kind of dynamic these two have, if they have gotten closer since Seffora returned to Longtable and became ruling lady, or if they remain somewhat distant to this day.

Helpful link: Longtable history

For QUEEN IONA TULLY ( Read more about her )

COUNCIL MEMBERS: Positions for the small council need to be filled: Lord Commander of the Queensguard (Potential Houses can be Erenford, Paege, Mudd, Vypern, Ryger of Willow Wood. Open to other house options), Master/Mistress of Laws (Potential houses can be Fisher of Misty Isle, House Hawick of Saltpans, House Justman), Master of Ships (From House Mallister) and Master/Mistress of Coin (Preferably from House Frey, but open to other house options). Some houses mentioned above are vassals to other larger houses. If you select a vassal house, you can choose to keep your muse a vassal or let them have one of the open locations that don't have a canon noble house: Bechester, Briarwhite, Fieldstone, Ramsford, Riverbend, Sweetwillow, Swynford.

YOUNGER BROTHER/PRINCE: He was away from Westeros and was presumed dead for a time, and that's why the crown went to Iona and not him. Now that he's back, we can have fun familial and political drama.

YOUNGER SISTER/PRINCESS: One of the two youngest Tully siblings, the twin sister of Mellara. I would love to include this sister in the Tully family dynamic.

For LORD DEIMOS VELARYON ( Read more about him )

YOUNGER BROTHER: This is Deimos' only remaining brother after the death of Aerion. This brother would be a Lord of Driftmark, and also the Ruling Lord of Sharp Point (approximate age would be 30 - 34). It would be great to add this brother to the Velaryon sibling dynamic, see where he stands on Valyrian exceptionalism or the politics about the Crownlands and Stormlands, the view he had of their parents, etc.

For LORD PERCIVAL TEMPLETON ( Read more about him )

PAST LOVES/BETROTHALS: Percival has had a long list of failed relationships and betrothals that never led to marriage in the end for a variety of circumstances. I'm interested in two past relationships: 1) one that took place around 134ac, 2) the other one around 139ac - 140ac. We can plot why they got together (arranged, romance, etc), why it ended, and what their dynamic looks like today.

For LUCIUS RIVERS ( Read more about him )

PLATONIC/ROMANTIC CONNECTION: Chemistry-based, if Lucius and her vibe well it can turn romantic, we'll see. And I want to emphasize that this is very unlikely to be endgame due to status differences and potential religious differences too. This woman would be someone Lucius has met recently, and he's become quite soft for her. I really want to explore a vulnerable side of him with someone, and I think this would be the person with whom he shows this side of him.

x. san was the oldest of three children in a close knit family of five in the nam district of busan, near seonam lake park.

x. he had a younger brother and sister he was always running around after, while his parents worked tirelessly at their crafts to provide a comfortable upbringing for the family. his mother was the head chef at an upscale restaurant, while his father traveled the world with a guitar and a dream.

x. his father sang folk music; that and classic jazz would often fill the household. kangsan loved sitting on his father's knee while the older im strummed his guitar. san would always try and play along on the strings, attempting to match his father's strums, but usually just throwing a wrench in the melody. his father never cared though, he'd simply let kangsan fumble with the strings.

x. san knew music was his future before he even knew what careers were. for his 7th birthday, his father gifted him a child sized guitar so that he could truly begin learning the craft. his father was a masterful guitarist and a patient teacher. whenever he was home, he spent at least some of his time in his studio instilling all he knew into his son, while san's brother and sister watched on and laughed at every missed note.

x. most of the time, however, kangsan's father wasn't home. he was a fairly successful musician, and he had the touring schedule to prove it. he'd be summoned to military bases to perform for soldiers, before being whisked away to the united states to do at least two dozen scattered shows across the country. his absences could be months long, leaving his family in disarray for large chunks of the year.

x. his mother seemed to be a miracle worker during this time. despite working full time, she always made sure the children felt loved and cared about, were fed, bathed and doing well in school. san could never figure out how she did it, but it impacted him with a level of respect he'd probably never have for any other person.

x. he started to notice that when his father came home, his parents were rather distant from one another. they didn't have the same loving rapport as before, and given that san was getting older, he knew what was coming.

x. there was something his mother said in one of their final arguments before filing for divorce that would stick with kangsan forever. "how does it feel coming home to see your children visibly taller and knowing that you missed every single centimeter?" san loved his father, and he loved music, but he decided then and there he'd be a different kind of father to his own future children.

x. it amazed san that his mother was so supportive of his pursuance of music considering everything that happened with his father. but she knew a wandering soul when she saw one, after all. she gave kangsan her blessing to forgo university for the time being to try and become a professional musician. he was extremely skilled in guitar by then, preferring the smoother and more relaxed melodies of jazz over his father's rough and tumble folk stylings.

x. it took him about two years to fall in with three other jazz musicians, all with aspirations of hitting the road with their original music. hanging out with his friends, drinking, writing songs they all loved, figuring out their unique style; these were some of the happiest years of san's life. the dawning of mipung.

x. things became even better once they found a small, independent label willing to sign them. san was never that great at promoting or being any sort of mouthpiece for the band. his strengths were found in performing live, often getting lost in the feeling and performing impromptu guitar solos while his other bandmates were getting water or chatting with fans in the front row.

x. they weren't superstars by any stretch, but they certainly found their niche following. mipung put out a total of eight albums, and the band toured consistantly; their fans nicknamed them tueoagma (tour devils). san had ceaseless fun and made great money, as well as industry connections that would serve him well.

x. it was during one of their local tours that he met kim saejeong, a bartender in gwangju whose smile reached both her eyes and his heart with little effort. the two texted back and forth for a couple of months before things went any further. it wasn't long before the pair had shirked tradition and moved in together, fully engrossed in the honeymoon stage.

x. the couple certainly wasn't trying for it, but saejeong became pregnant along the way. they were both fairly happy about the revelation, even though kangsan knew it meant it was time to hang up his guitar. he was going to keep his promises.

x. he informed the band that he'd be formally retiring to care for his son full time, not wanting a constant performing schedule to take away any precious time watching him grow up. he held no grudges against the life his father had chosen, but in his heart of hearts, he knew he wanted to walk a different path.

x. it was a pretty dramatic shift, going from being a full time musician to a full time father, but it was one that san relished in. things had fallen into place quite well, or at least san thought so. he doted on little yongtae as if he were the most precious creature in all of nature. however, he didn't count on things becoming somewhat awkward between he and saejeong. they'd gone from being partially at arm's length by his schedule to now being around each other all the time. their love for each other no longer filled the rooms of their home. it all felt strikingly familiar. they both loved yongtae, but it was obvious they were falling out of love with each other.

x. rather than keeping the charade going any longer, the two broke up for good when yongtae was a year old. it was relatively amicable and civil, with the two agreeing to share legal custody. it was the healthiest situation for all involved, but kangsan couldn't help but feel like a failure. he thought quitting music was some sort of foolproof way of keeping his family together. he'd been an idiot thinking anything was for certain.

x. still, he couldn't fall into a bout of self pity. he had a son to care for; though it was high time for him to find something to do with himself while yongtae was with his mother. he needed some sort of work to keep himself occupied. when he called up a few industry friends, he expected maybe a producing slot or perhaps even a guitar instructor position; something that was somewhere in his wheelhouse. instead, he was presented with a rather intriguing opportunity.

x. a soloist was in need of a new manager at infinite entertainment, and for whatever reason, kangsan's friend thought he'd be a great candidate for the position. san didn't expect the interview to land him the gig, as he was lacking a degree, but the company mysteriously overlooked it and hired him anyway.

x. i definitely want to explore their dynamic with minseok's mun, but i like to think minseok would have kind of become kangsan's work son 😭

x. when the tour was announced, kangsan couldn't help but be a little bit worried about missing out on time with yongtae, but to his disbelief, san's father began tagging along with him to help take care of the baby while san was working. in a weird way, everything seems to be turning out well so far. san gets to connect with his son, reconnect with his father and delve back into a life he never thought he'd live again.

chapter 19: an almost deleted scene (2)

(a/n: alternative title for the chapter: Feisty)

"Okay, take out your lipgloss" Poppy scattered her collection of BeautyRush on the school desk.

I had two lip smackers that my sister had gifted me. One was skittles, the other one was sprite. I also had a roll-on straberry gloss I had bought myself (my parents' money) at "Todo Moda" during the weekend. The five of us put them in the middle of our school desks making a considerable collection that looked so cool in their plasticky colorful glory and, idk why, we put them into a light green plastic pencil holder that Poppy had brought from home.

"This way we can share while we're in class!" It was a cool shiny display in the middle of our school supplies. Our gloss obsession was a bit deluded and silly but the bond between us sharing them felt so real. We were doing geography or math and we had taken over the desks at back of the classroom. Mr. G hadn't scolded anyone for completely disregarding the sitting chart and changing places, so my friends and I were all together in one "school team", rolling with it. We all went in to take one, I chose the most true-pink gloss, almost like a magenta shade that looked just clear on the lips. It smelled like pure sugar. I was happy that MJ took my Skittles lipsmacker.

"1, 2, 3, lipgloss"

"That one is so dumb, guys" called out Liv. Maybe it was, but we just laughed.

"This is awesome"

We nodded in agreement with Ella, I flipped my front pieces of hair off my face so it didn't stick to my lips, the now familiar thick texture of petroleum jelly making me smell berries under my nose.

"Oh, wait. Careful with the cherry gloss!" Said Poppy pausing the silly bliss of the moment.

"This one??" I asked showing her mine.

"No, it's red. The 'cherry bomb' one isn't clear gloss, it's so so red."

"Which one?" we all were moving the glosses around on emergency mode all over the desks but it wasn't there. Then I smelled cherry. We all darted our eyes to the head of the table.

"Wait, this one?" Ella's lips were dripping red like a vampire frozen in spot with the lipgloss still pressed to her bottom lip, squeezing more product out. It was definitely THAT one and we all cracked up laughing. It smelled really fucking good, I could smell it from 1.5 metters apart, holding on to my chair while laughing so much I could've fallen to the ground. Ella bursted out a laugh still confused, not knowing how funny she looked but having an idea by how much we couldn't stop laughing. Her lips were red, the gloss making a line down the left corner just like blood, and MJ didn't miss the moment to call her sexy. Elizabeth sent each one of us a flying kiss, playing along to the dumb sexy vampire jokes. I wiped my tears away to keep writing down whaterver we were copying from the blackboard, still carrying a giggle in my chest.

That afternoon we were messing around still at school before Jazz. We all had been perfecting a walking technique, a model stride that made your hair move in the wind, even with zero breeze needed. My friends and I would line up and practice before dance class or recess or whenever we could in the hallways, each starting with the right foot on the count of 3 to be coordinated. By this moment, it was a nonchalant reflex to go everywhere chatting while walking like that. So we walked the length of the running track at least three Times just to enjoy ourselves while discussing TV shows, probably talking about Shake it Up's latest aired episode.

"I almost cried with 'Add it up', it was so good." MJ held Ella by the shoulder while still strutting with us.

"Yeah!! I liked it better than 'Meatball it up'" She agreed. I was wondering how in the hell they knew the episodes' names.

"Rees? Did you catch 'Add it up'?"

"Mhh... I don't think so..." I had watched the first episode and the Olive Garden one like five Times now, but apparently I was missing more. Sometimes my mom would be late to pick me and my sister up from school and I couldn't catch it before America's Next Top Model started.

"O.M.G. You'll love it" MJ would spell out OMG when talking. "It's about Cece!" A smile grew on my lips.

"Lame, Rees! Keep up with the episodes!" Ella and I had the most savage friendship at Times, so I pushed her by the shoulders, making her laugh and starting a quick physical fight between us. After being stopped by MJ who was giggling and Poppy who finally snapped out of counting the petals of a pink geranium from The Flowerbed, we reached the basketball court. The four of us found a bech facing the basketball court to chill at before having to change out of our school uniforms. The boys before jazz were still annoying, but today we were hanging around them even while they were having basketball practice. Everyone was in for the banter, which some days could actually be just innocent enough to make us more friends and less enemies. MJ and Poppy were bickering with the boys warming up for practice. Ella and I were once again quoting Disney Channel not paying too much attention to the dudes doing shoulder rolls and neck stretches wearing baggy basketball shorts and tanktops.

"I tipped over the canoe, I cut my lip... and my top came off." I was even copying Cece's voice and closing the imaginary olive green jacket over my flat chest. We would do this scene all the Time, unprovoked.

"Cece, you were 10. Nobody even knew you were a girl." Ella was my Rocky, pretending to sit back on a bench in the Chicago subway. (The irony in this, I was currently actually 10 loll).

"I knew!!" our cadence was exact, and in the end we would burst in laughter and repeat it all. The rhythm between us was the best thing, like a quick witted game of cards we had perfected.

"Go Joe!" Poppy was being her extra cutesy self, while the team did some laps around the court. Joe winked at her, still running.

"Get out of the way, girls" Max came up to us, pretending she was about to throw a ball to our face and retrieving it at the very last second before it hit us. We were so used to it by now, we barely even flinched.

"Stop that!" Poppy whined in complaint of the aggressive game.

"Let me try" Ella jumped up and quickly took it out of her hands.

"No. Let go" MJ, Poppy and I were now laughing at the scene. Both girls fighting over it, Ella hunching over the ball hidding it from her reach, her curly hair falling over her face.

"It's mine now, Max" she stated with a laugh.

"Noo, Elizabeth, let go." Max was trying to use her elbow to make the dirty synthetic ball fall from my friend's grip. Max lets out a laugh too. "Ella."

"Ohhh, Max can be nice. Did you just call her "Ella"? I loved pissing her off like this. She looked me in the eye with half a laugh and her basketball back in her hands.

"Watch it, Rees" She did the trick again, only this Time the ball actually hit me straight in the face by accident. "Omg, sorry" She was laughing but sounded genuinely surprised by the slip. We were laughing too, cause it was one of those good days. She rubbed my forehead a bit, holding back a giggle.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, thanks" I acted just a bit pissed keeping her hands away, but finding it funny too.

"You girls are distracting" Mick yelled wearing that crush he had on both Poppy and MJ on his sleeve.

"So focus" asked MJ. I could laugh so much when my friends acted like this. Some of the guys were finishing their laps now, panting from the running, while forming a group in one corner of the court.

"What are those? The cheerleaders?" Their coach was paying attention now, shading his eyes with one hand to be able to see us better. He was so deeply annoying.

"Yea, they're our cheerleaders" Joe agreed, he seemed very okay with the idea and I fucking hated his coach.

"In your dreams" Poppy blew her boyfriend a sarcastic kiss, while she walked her way closer to them. The rest of us following behind to back her up.

"Oh, we'd never be cheerleaders for you." MJ was being real now, sniggering.

"You should! Isn't that what you do?" This was getting my blood heated.

"Oh, they're your friends who do dance" their coach didn't speak directly to any of us.

"Yes. So you could cheer if you're going to be here watching us"

"We dance. It's so not even similar" Ella corrected Rick, her arms crossed. We nod our heads, as if all of us had said the thing.

"What's the difference, again?" Max was back to being annoying, and the boys were too, laughing.

"You just twirl around in mini skirts" They all broke into a laugh at Rick's joke. I didn't know the word "misogyny" at the Time, but these dudes were constantly making me discover the concept from firsthand experience.

"Cool, as opposed to what?" I had been quiet but my voice appeared harsh and hostile. "Running like graceless deadbeat horses after one single lap? The team is terrible ?" I said bluntly making them silent. I wasn't used to talking back like this, even worse cause it sounded like my insult went out to an adult too. But what the fuck?!

"Yea... you guys always lose your games" Poppy added, her eyebrows furrowed. And it was true.

"Girls, we're in the middle of practice. You can't even be here to start with." The adult who started this decided to speak again. "Imma ask you to leave"

"Yea, kick them out coach!" our classmates encouraged him finding their laughter again, booing.

"Yea, let's go girls." Said MJ. That was the cue for our hair flips but this was too serious for that. "Enjoy your stupid class" She murmurs, starting to walk away. I know most of them caught her words.

"It was a joke, girls!" Despite de half-apology, Joe was partially still laughing.

"You are a joke!" Ella had to scream it from the other side of the courtyard and I knew it was a good retort to exit with. I flipped my hair subtly over my shoulder to feel less shaken up as we walked lined up, all four pairs of legs matching the beat.

"Damn! Graceless deadbeat horses was insane, Rees" says Ella as a compliment. I hear the naughty snigger on her voice and we all break in a bit of a laugh at what I said, hopefully they'd hear us giggling. I wanted them to know it had no effect on us.

"'Enjoy your stupid class' was crazier" I break from the line to jump a bit and look at them. "And Ella, just now?"

"It was good" says Poppy in deep recognition of the scene. We strode taking the short hallway to get completely away from their sight. The running track was more populated yet chill as always. It felt funny, even if we had to take some punches, I was so fixated on the good parts. Did I really have those harsh comebacks in me? We kept walking,four different shades of medium to dark brunette hair moving in a made-up breeze of our own.

"I really hate the boys, though. And Max." MJ was setting the pace for our coordinated walking.

"Yea... we should stop talking to them. And the school should get a cheer team, maybe that would show them how hard that also is." I state, feeling a bit amused. They conversation gets cut short cause we see a girl a year below ours was approaching us, directly to Poppy. I couldn't tell right away, but then I recognized her brother's hazel eyes.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?" Joe's sister was asking for a word with her.

"Sure, Sienna. I'll see you in a minute, guys"

"Catch us at the bathroom" Poppy nodded at Ella's words while picking up her pace to match Sienna's. It was not the first nor the second Time this happenned. She was good looking, prettier than Joe and she had a cunning look in her eyes he didn't have. Poppy had already told us how Sienna was a big cause of drama and arguments between Joe and herself. She had even cried to us about it a couple days back, so I didn't understand how she would still have these private conversations with her but... I think she was trying to get on her good side, so she stopped talking shit about her to her brother, making them fight.

"Hmm... Sienna is a bit..." MJ started.

"Yea, I don't like her either." stated Ella. I sighed. I mean, I didn't even fully liked Joe to begin with, so. "Anyway. Let's get changed?"

Backstory (9th grade)

Okay so we're talking again and it comes to the first day of high school. I'm anxious as shit as most people are their first day of high school but it goes decently well. Until I get home and get on my iPad to see my friend that my bestie had dated the year before had absolutely cussed me the fuck out calling me all sorts of names saying that I lied to him. I had no clue what was going on so I respond and I'm like bro I have no clue what you're talking about. So then he accuses me of lying to him about there not being anything serious going on between me and my bestie because he saw me holding hands with them in the parking lot after school. I was like woah woah woah after school let out I was struggling to find the car rider line so I could go the hell home I certainly wasn't holding hands leisurely around the parking lot with anyone. So we talk around amongst the friend group and find out that this new girl my bestie is with looks almost identical to me and apparently because she was new everyone had been confusing her for me all day. I was sat there in my bed like well that's weird as shit. They add my bestie to the group chat we'd made and start questioning them about how they're dating this new girl that looks exactly like me and what the hell all that is about. They said they didn't see the resemblance and didn't wanna talk about it anymore. It was dropped for then, I would later find out that she kept getting confused for me so much that she started dying her hair so people wouldn't confuse her for me. Me and my bestie are doing great we're seeing each other like every week hanging out watching movies playing games. Over text I'm basically being their therapist and helping them with all of their issues cause they didn't trust actual professionals. Till around September when one of our hangouts gets a little out of hand and there's some under the skirt fondling if you know what I mean. I kinda messed up after going back to school tho because I have a very bad tendency to kiss and tell. Word got around the friend group where multiple of them were friends with my bestie's girlfriend. It ended up getting back to her and one fateful day as I was waiting to see the endocrinologist my bestie told me that their girlfriend said they are no longer allowed to speak with me if they wish to continue being with them and they chose the relationship and said they hoped I'd forgive them. We didn't talk for quite a while I threw myself into reading fanfics and watching bootlegs of musicals on YouTube. I also got far into talking to strangers online as a way to fill the void in me. Did not end well I'll leave it there because it doesn't matter to our story today. Then one night there's this school event where classes did projects and some students would present them. I was chosen as one of the presenters for my honors English class and was told I'd be paired presenting with someone from the regular English class taught by the same teacher. I get there I'm walking around looking at everything till it's time for me to go do my thing for English class. Then when I get there who do I see but my bestie standing right there next to the display which I'm presenting with the pin saying they were also presenting it. My brain went into full blown panic mode because I'd been devastated for months and now here they were right in front of me. I got through it and we kinda exchanged pleasantries very awkwardly. Then after I was done I convinced my parents it was time to leave and I went home and listened to Freeze Your Brain from the Heathers musical on repeat until I cried myself to sleep. Not much else to the story except me being sad until February of 2018. They messaged me out of the blue to reconnect we talked a lot and ended up spending Valentine's Day together, a trend that if you continue with this story follows throughout the rest of the year. For my birthday we went to Applebee's then back to my sister's house. 10th grade will have to be it's own post. Reached Character limit.

Ah, so they don't avoid their in-laws at all costs. That's good for Martha and Sam! Could not be him and So-yeon's parents-- especially after the whole 'they kidnapped my son' thing.

It was a little weird to him that David didn't seem to ever know what was going on with his sister, considering even if he didn't f--king ASK his own sister told him all of her business. Maybe that was more normal? Mu-yeol wasn't sure how A. human families; and B. western families worked. He knew he and his sister were closer than most human Korean siblings he ever knew because in fairy culture there was absolutely no gender essentialism in terms of 'girl interests' and 'boy interests.' They did everything together, the twins did everything together, they all four had mutual friends, and when they were all old enough to actually hangout together they all four did.

The Bae siblings were all four close, and to lesser extent you could add their cousins in there even now with Mu-yeol in England, Won-shik in Seoul, and Su-mi and Jun-ha home in Daegu. Jun-ha and both of his partners worked part-time in the city, both of Su-mi's partners did, and Su-mi sent her children to human school, so everyone had phones now like Mu-yeol and Nam-min did. The family WhatsApp chat was always going.

The years between him leaving Korea and phones equipped with wifi and WhatsApp had been rough. Getting any kind of communication between Korea and Swynlake, aigoo, so difficult. Smartphones and WhatsApp changed everything.

It wasn't the same as seeing them in person, and getting to see everyone a couple years ago only made him miss them more. Still, talking to each other at least every other day in the group chat was the norm. Mu-yeol and Su-mi called each other personally at least every third day, four days was unheard of.

Though, David never spoke about his siblings with any animosity. Maybe it was more normal for siblings to only check in now and then. The only other human friends he had with siblings were Ting-Ting and Jun, who were, crucially also from recent East Asian immigrant backgrounds; and maybe more importantly, also took on some of the job of raising them.

...huh. If he had a fiver for every time he had a friend who took care of their siblings he'd only have fifteen pounds but it's weird it's happened three times, right?

"Ah, we're aware of Christmas in the hollow because of the proximity to town but we don't--" Mu-yeol's cheeks flushed. He hated -- no, seriously, hated -- reminding people he was a fairy. It was easy for him to talk about being Korean. Not so easy to talk about being a fairy even if both things were equally obvious just looking at him. "Fairies have different names for months and seasons. They call winter 'slumber' in this hollow because for a lot of spring hollow fairies there's less work to do. Uh. Spring holl-- that's what Enchantra's hollow is considered. You have spring and winter hollows and fairies. Anyway. They celebrate the start of slumber with a big four-day festival from the 22nd-25th."

Aish, why did talking about being a fairy literally make his heart rate increase like this? What kind of messed up fight or flight response was that?

"I've got Christmas presents for the relevant people of course. When in Rome or whatever you say." He sipped at his tea, then shook his head before explaining the next bit. "Christmas isn't culturally the same in human Korea either and it doesn't exist in hollows there at all. While all fairies here for centuries have interacted with Christian (at least culturally so) humans, Christianity came to Korea much later and it's a minority of the population. The aspects of fairy society back home that evidence human interaction pull from Buddhist, Confucian, and different shaman traditions, right? Koreans generally treat Christmas like Valentine's Day, But There's Snow."

"Our big family-oriented holidays are Seollal and Chuseok. So nobody's working out whose got custody of the sister that lives in the woods on December 25th." Mu-yeol said, trusting he'd gather that one legend (a fellow person who lived in the woods) was recognizing another.

Senior Year - Where we lose count

(part 7)

Pairing: Eddie Munson x fem!reader/ y/n Henderson

Context: y/n is Dustin's big sister. The events of S1 to S3 have happened with y/n being a part of it to some extent. S3 ends differently with Hopper escaping the Russians with Joyce and Murray. Joyce and Hopper made it to Enzo at some point and they are now happily dating. Joyce didn't move to California so the gang is all together in Hawkins.

Dustin's and y/n dad died a few years ago. He was Hopper and Joyce's high school friend so they are very close to the family. Hopper is y/n godfather.

I don't know yet if some of the events of S4 will happen in this serie, but I can promise that Eddie will be safe if they do.

Summary: Y/n is starting her senior year as Eddie's starts his third one. They know each other from being in the same high school, but are not really friends. She likes him. Good thing her little brother is now a part of the Hellfire Club.

Warnings: (for the whole serie) mention of dead parents, mention of drugs and alcohol, swearing, slow burn, flirting, mutual pining, fluff, friends to lovers, smut 18+.

Author's note: I want this will be a serie. English is not my first language. Also, this is my very first time writing fanfic. Please feel free to comment and give constructive criticism. Thanks!

----

It's Saturday afternoon and Eddie gets to your house as planned to work on your chemistry assignement due on Monday. As soon as he parks his van, he hears total chaos coming from inside. He chuckles, guessing the source of said chaos. He opens the front door and what he sees confirm his theory. All the youngster are there, spread all over the living room and the kitchen. Eating sandwiches and chips. It's loud but you look so happy. You are chatting and laughing with El, Max and Will sitting in the living room. Dustin, Mike and Lucas are eating and arguing in the kitchen.

Everybody warmly greets Eddie.

"Guys, you need to clean up and leave soon if you don't want to miss the movie!" you say.

They all get up, hurrying to finish their lunch and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Getting ready to leave. Today's plan for them is afternoon at the movies and sleep-over at the Byers.

"Dustin, don't forget the banana bread!" you shout, grabbing the container and putting it in his backpack "You guys leave some for Joyce, Hop and Jonathan".

"I'll try my best" he says laughing.

You and Eddie watch as they all jump on their bikes (or skate) and leave for the movie theater.

You get back inside.

"Eddie, I have leftovers, i'm making us sandwiches!" you say.

He smiles. By now, he knows there is no refusing food from you. Besides, why would he refuse, he loves all the food you make.

"I'm sad the banana bread left with Dustin" he jokes.

"Don't worry, I hid our portions. I also have extra for Wayne". you answer.

"Of course you have Princess. I don't know why I was worried" he winks at you.

Yes, the nickname stayed, and yes you love it. Add the winks... goosebumps. You like Eddie a lot as a friend, but at this point you know for sure you love him and oh my do you want him. Is the flirting a game? You don't know, but boy do you enjoy it.

You both go to your bedroom with your food. Eddie takes a first bite of his sandwich. He moans and closes his eyes.

"Princess, even your sandwiches are heavenly. What's in there?" he says.

"Can't say, secret ingredient. Family secret" you reply.

"Wow, now I have to marry you to know everything" he answers.

You laugh "You want to marry me for my cooking skills?".

He gets that naughty look on his face and answers "Oh I'm sure you have plenty of other skills worth discovering"

You laugh...and you blush "Ok Munson, that was sexy. You win this round".

You both smile at each other.

"Ok, let's do this damn chemistry assignement so we can have a little peace for the rest of the week-end" you say.

After a few hours, you are both tired but you are finally done with the assignement. It's now dark outside. The only lightening in your bedroom is from the lamp on your desk. You and Eddie sit in a confortable silence at your desk. You start touching his forearm, tracing the bats from his tattoo.

"I like this one" you say.

"Yeah? I didn't know you liked tattoos" he looks surprised.

"I love tattoos!" you reply.

"Do you have any?" he aks.

"It depends, can you keep a secret?"

Eddie face is a mix of shook and amusement "You do, you totally have at least one! No way! I want to know!".

"Oh my God, Eddie" you laugh but you are also worried "I'll tell you everything but you have to promise to keep it a secret. My mom would kill me".

"I promise" he says, mimicking locking his lips and throwing away the key. He looks super excited.

"Ok, nobody knows. For real, nobody but you. I have two small tattoos. Got them at a small tattoo shop while I was in Indianapolis last summer".

"That is so cool. I did not see that coming Princess. Pleasantly surprised" he says with a big grin "Where are they?".

"Well, let's say they are well hidden so my mom can't see them even when i'm in a bathing suit".

"I think i'm gonna faint" Eddie says as he rubs his hands on his face.

You laugh "Are you blushing? Am I winning a new round?"

He stays silent for a moment. Face still in his hands.

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours" you say.

He takes his hands off his face to look at you. He is definitively blushing and you win this round. A victorious look on your face.

"Princess, you will be the death of me" he sighs.

You decide to push it further. You are alone with him. Nobody is coming home until tomorrow. And this proximity with him in your poorly lit bedroom is making your head spin with desire. Also, you did what to see all his tattoos.

"It's a serious offer" you tell him.

He stops smilig, still blushing but now also very curious "Really?"

"Yup, but you go first. Show me all your tattoos. And no lifting part of your t-shirt or pants. You have to take the piece of clothing off. That's the deal". And that was a pretty good deal considering you were wearing only a dress.

"Deal". He gets up and quickly takes off his t-shirt.

You stand up and get closer to him "Can I touch you?".

"... yes" he replies a little shaky.

You smile but don't look at him. Your fingers slowly and gently touching his tattoos. Some of them you knew he had, some are new to you. You get to his back to discover big bat wings tattoos. You continue touching, taking your time, contouring the tattoos. You can hear his breathing changing. You feel the goosebumps on his skin. And you enjoy it... a lot. You come back to face him, tracing the tattoos on his chest, slowly coming down to the one besides his happy trail and disappearing a little under his pants.

"The bats on your forearm is still my favorite one" You put your hand on his lower abdomen tattoo "But this one has the best placement for sure". He puts his hands on yours. Your eyes meet his and there is no doubt on both your minds. This isn't just a game. You bite your lower lip and you shiver a little.

"Your turn Princess. I want to see yours now" he whispers.

"You'll have to find them" you softly say has you turn around and hold your hair out of the way so he can unzip your dress. He gently does and your dress falls to the floor. Leaving you only in your underwear. Nice black ones of course. You were always ready in case the flirting would lead to more.

His hands and his eyes are exploring your body. Searching for your tattoos, but it's also way more than that. It's very sensual while being very respectful. No inappropriate touching, He takes his time, slowly touching you everywhere your skin is exposed and paying attention to your reactions. At this point, you can't help making little sounds. Moans and sighs. But you don't feel self-conscious at all. You feel confortable, high on Eddie. You feel on fire. You are really enjoying this. This is foreplay and you are in heaven.

After exploring your legs, he stands up, dangerously close to you. Close enough for you to clearly feel on your stomach that this was working for him too.

"I can't find them" he says.

You lustly look at him "Guess you are going to have to take my underwear off to see them".

He licks his bottom lip and takes your face in this hands "I really want to kiss you right now" he confesses.

You look at him and reply "I always really want you to kiss me".

He blushes, smiles and leans over to kiss you. His hands finding your waist while yours find his neck. And it's soft and perfect and everything you wanted and then hungry and full of more desire from both of you. He grabs your ass and lifts you up. You wrap your legs around his waist. You can feel him kiss you everywhere he can while taking you to your bed.

Finally, this is happening.

Bad Buddy (Thailand)

BL (Boys' Love)

This is going to be a long one so just be prepared. This is one of the best shows I've seen in the BL genre and I've seen almost all of them, especially from Thailand. Like I fell in love with these two so much that I watched edits all week until Friday when the next episode came out. I really don't know what I'm gonna do without them since the show is over now, but here we are. Also, I'm going to add some screenshots I took from some of the scenes I mentioned here, and then at the end, I will put some screenshots of some of my favorite moments. I hope you enjoy this review enough to go watch it yourself. I will try my best not to put spoilers, but that will be really hard so I will just mark where a spoiler will be and you can choose whether you want to continue on or not. I commend anyone who fully reads this LOL

This was amazing, there was nothing toxic about their relationship like some BL's tend to be, they were wholesome and every episode had fluff to the max. The thing I loved most about this show is that they explore sexuality differently than other BL’s in that when Pat is talking to Pran, Pa, and Ink, he says that maybe he had always liked men, but he just realized it now. They have him think about it in a way that isn’t “I don’t like boys, I just like you” and that is one of the big reasons I love this. It isn't the norm in these shows and having a character like Pat, who had a crush on a girl since high school, say that is really powerful. I do think he had a crush on her, but the way he felt for Pran was different than his crush on Ink. What I mean is, I think he just had strong feelings for her whereas with Pran he was able to be himself, he was able to smile, joke around and be truly him.

Every emotional scene with them was very good as well, they were able to portray their emotions as the characters so good, it was like you weren’t even watching a show. Another big thing I loved was the hospital scene where Pran tells Pat that he doesn’t like being called Wifey, he asks Pat if it makes him feel superior and at first, pat was kind of caught off guard, but then he responded by saying that he can call him Wifey instead. Pran did and Pat made a face and kind of cringed, Pran asked how it made him feel and Pat said he understood now. This was so good I really appreciated this scene because it basically combats the toxicity of that word in BL’s.

I loved Pa, Pat’s sister, she was so supportive of her brother and Pran’s relationship and even helped them keep their relationship a secret from their parents. She and Pat’s chats were amazing and always so deep especially when it came to relationships and stuff. He was even able to open up about Pran with her as well when they first started dating which also was something I loved about her. She didn't care, even though her family was fighting with Pran's, she knew it wasn't their fight and there was no reason to hate the neighbors like their parents do. And the fact that Pa was even so fast to open up about being in love with Ink, Pat’s past crush, shows how close they are. She even asked Pat if he was okay if they were together and he said that if they had dated then he would probably be a little upset, but they never went out so he was fine he also added that if he could fall for the neighbor's kid, she could fall for anyone. They respect each other and it shows, her wanting his blessing before making a move on Ink is a lot and Pat having her there to help with Pran and his relationship was everything. They really have each other back as they should, their sibling dynamic is everything. (If you have siblings, you know that not every sibling relationship is like this.)

After writing that, I now realize, Pran never had that, he never had that support system that Pat did. Which I think is part of the reason that he had buried all of his emotions, he had no one to confide in about anything. He had Wai, his best friend, but he hated Pat, so he couldn’t exactly feel comfortable talking about him with Wai. It kind of makes me realize too that with Pran not having that, it makes he and Pat’s relationship more meaningful and deep because he finally had someone he could lean on when he needed to, someone who could love all of him. His mom basically controlled his life, he had to keep his mouth shut (like not talk back and stuff) and stay focused, which is also a big reason as to why he was the way he was. He had to have his chopsticks the same length, always eats three wontons, keeps his pens straight and in color order, and he never talked back or really even fought. These were things he had control over, things his mom couldn't dominate in his life. When he finally stood up to his mom, she was shocked. Though she had her reasons for her unwillingness to allow Pran and Pat to be together, it had nothing to do with them, it wasn't their fight. She was holding on to something that happened between her and Pat's father, granted what he did was wrong, but this past fight was not about the kids or the business and should not have descended on to them and their lives. Pat's father was a total jerk with what he did to Dessaya (Pran's mom), but I think that keeping it a secret from the kids was unfair to them. **SPOILER** He stole her scholarship and all he did was take over his family business, he didn’t even use the scholarship. It was going to be her whole life and he just took it away from her. **END OF SPOILER**Their fight is understandable, but keeping Pat and Pran apart because of something between them wasn’t fair especially with how much they ended up loving each other.

In Episode 11, it was literally all fluff, they were being very lovey with each other and had a little fight, but made up quite quickly. They realized they had to go back home eventually and came up with a plan that would be good for everyone. Though they did not discuss this plan, we didn't even know there was a plan, all we knew was that they were about to do something big, "Good luck buddy" is what Pran said. Makes me tear up a bit just thinking about it.

Episode 12’s preview had us scared for the next week, but in reality, what happened was exactly what I thought would happen. **SPOILER**They came up with a plan to stay together, but in secret, they had Pa, Ink, Wai, and Korn help them out so they could stay together without anyone knowing even at school. They stayed together for four years and in the last scene at their parent's houses, Pat falls on the roof and his father flinches and tries to get up and get him. His mom holds him back and tells him to let it be to let him be in his generation or something, to be honest, I didn't really understand that line, but it could be a mistranslation. Then when they were singing and laughing in Pran’s house, Pran’s mom hears them, and she gives his dad a look, but then she eventually smiled. They basically are pretending they don’t know that they’re together, but they know. I think this was good because it showed that their parents have grown up a little and have realized that their fight has nothing to do with their kids and if they’re happy together they will let them be (This is only my opinion/assumption, don't come at me). **End of Spoiler**

Now, the acting. Chef’s kiss. Ohm’s acting, magnificent as ever. Literally, in every scene he was in, whether he was happy, crying or mad you could feel it, and see it in his eyes and everything he did (body language). His emotional scenes hit hard because his character was very in the moment and he let himself feel the things he was feeling and it showed in his acting. Nanon, everything about him and his acting was fabulous. He was able to show how different Pran was from Pat with how he held back his emotions and kept them buried until it was too much and he would burst. One scene that comes to mind the most is their first kiss on the roof, where Pran walks away crying while Pat smiled afterward.

This showed how different they are, Pat living in the moment, feeling so good about the kiss, how it finally happened, and like a weight was lifted from his chest. While Pran, though he was happy about the kiss he longed for, he was also distraught. In that instant, he was thinking about his family and friends and what they would think if things got serious between them. He didn’t want to lose anyone but loved Pat so much that he just let go for a second and let it happen. He walked away because he knew things would get worse if their relationship changed, but he still couldn’t deny his longtime feelings for Pat. The moment they stared at each other after the kiss, Pran was in full tears, Pat was smiling, it was the perfect representation of who they are as people.

Anyway, I could literally say so much more about this show, but I don't want to drag this on any longer so I'm going to stop. There are so many scenes, lines, actions, growth, and characters that I love and could go on and on about, but there's just not enough time in the day (or night which is when I wrote this initially) to express how much love and appreciation I have for, not only the show but cast/crew as well!

Ohm and Nanon, their chemistry is unreal, they were so comfortable with each other that all the intimate scenes between them felt natural and I think this is what made it so much better. Shout out to GMMTV for doing it right with this one. I could literally go on and on about what I loved in this show, but it would turn into a book and no one wants to read that. These two are my comfort couple, they make me happy just thinking about how in love they are even after four years. Even Ink and Pa in the end were a long-term couple and I love the GL (Girls' Love) rep in here. The show itself, special shoutout to P’Aof the director, he did such an amazing job with this, and literally, the show is golden, if this doesn’t get any awards, I’m rioting. I haven’t been this in love with a show ever and I hope for very good things for the show and actors!

I even ordered Pat's Nong Nao doll and the PP earbuds bag (brb while I scream at 8:30 in the morning)

I will give this show a 10/10, if I could give it more I would. I definitely recommend this show if you are a first-time BL watcher, wanna try BL out, or are a veteran BL stan. My friend @chezzit and I are going to have a rewatch marathon tonight and I'm super hype for it!

Is it just me or do you also don't hyper relate valentine's day with romantic love? My first memory of 14th Feb is when I was in 2nd grade. The vice principal came into our class and gave us a talk about how this special day isn't for boyfriends and girlfriends but for everyone you love. All the friends you should forgive. Your parents who love you the most. And on that friend part, my friend and I, looked instinctively at each other from across the classroom. We were fighting and not on talking terms for some reason I obviously can't remember. We were seated across the room. Yet our eyes found their way to each other. The bell rang, the vice principal walked out and the two of us walked to each other and giggled. I don't think we had any confrontation. No apologies either. It was understood. We were friends again. We grabbed our food and started chatting away. No resentments. No hidden feelings. Valentine's Day was a day to see who you really love and not let pettiness or the unimportant things come in the way. It was that extra nudge. That reminder. My mother too made it a day where I was reminded of how loved I am. Every year it was either chocolates or flowers or cute stationery. Or all three. She always got me and my sister Valentine's gifts so we didn't feel lonely or unloved. I don't think my mom getting us such sweet gifts was sad. I think it was the most precious thing ever. She does it to this day. I am getting sunflowers and adorable socks and stupidly fancy sandals this year. The last few years on tumblr I've been writing love poetry for all the people who would send me 3 facts about them in my askbox. I'm doing it this year too. Send me facts about you and I'll write a love poem for you as though I'm in love with you. You see, Valentine's has never been about romantic love for me. For a while there a stupid friend wanted to shit all over it and rant about capitalism. I rant enough about capitalism myself. But I also see the nuance in people's intentions and emotions. So if I buy a silly pop up card for my sister that says 'you melt my heart' and I add 'sometimes with anger but most times with love' and I paid some meager $ for it I am not going to consider myself fallen into a trap and on the pathway of moral destruction. Chill out people, days to show people you love them in an explicit fashion are beautiful. I digress. Valentine's has never been about romantic love for me. The only time there some something vaguely romantic was when I was in 9th grade and a senior asked me out and I didn't say no because I didn't know how and then two days later on his birthday I broke up with him because it was too horrible and I couldn't pretend any longer. I don't like to think of that. High school was a dramatic but not a pleasant time at all. My point is it's that time of the year again. So for every single person you love, remember to show them that. Throughout the year and your life, please. But also on 14th Feb. Because yes, capitalism aims to make us feel pathetic about ourselves until we don't buy shit or someone doesn't for us. Don't let it win! Write love poetry. Send a goofy video stating xx reasons why you love them. Do cringey cheesey things. And do them with your whole heart.

Part 6 here we go! Also I'm planning to pur this on my Ao3 soon, I'll add the link to it when it's ready.

.

.

Bruce was hunched over the screen as he was re-watching the vedio feed, trying his hardest to analyze every word and sight he saw, all while trying to plan his next move. His knuckles were white as he bowed his head and breathed deeply.

Alfred the cat had manged to not only sneak out but get into the house of an underground mob boss, making realize that while he was dealing with the big and loud villains, there were ones sneaking between the cracks even though they were just as dangerous, even more so now with the new information he was given.

Bruce could barely look at the screen as two children chat away about keeping secert pets, they looked around the age of his two youngest, the very two who brought this vedio to his attention. He couldn't look away at the static as it brought out their glowing green eyes like shining lights, even though the slightly distorted feed he could see sighs of sickness from the boy while the younger girl luckily seemed a bit healthier.

Yet the info before swam in Bruce's head, these kids were at risk of being hunted down by the government all because the meta gene had surprisingly mutated into a sub type. Because of this these kids parents were risking themselves to the Fenton Mafia just to have a chance of protection, a false one at that.

Vinnie Fenton had multiple connections, not just to Red Hood, but to the Owls too, yet he lied right to the desperate family, all while making Batman seem like a bad guy to discourage them to go to him for help.

This was a shit show, but Bruce knew he needed to do something, and he plans to, both as Bruce Wayne and as Batman.

Once he finds out what government brace they were talking about he plans to drag it through hell, as Batman to set the Justice League on them, and as Bruce with his own connections run their funding to the ground.

In the meantime he needs to contact Jason, the family does live within his territory, plus they still need to get Alfred the cat back too. He would go but...

he wishes to respect Jason's boundaries and even if he went it wouldn't help much so for now Bruce sent the vedio and a quick text to his second son, hoping more then anything that it isn't too late to help.

Jazz was trying to keep herself busy, both by studying and taking care of her siblings.

All three parents were in the basement, trying to figure out a plan, to convince Dad to not make any weapons for his old family, trying to get him to eat.

Danny and Ellie were mostly quiet as they clung to each other as they cared for the new cat Alfred, their vedio game left discarded and plushies untouched.. it was like a dark cloud had fallen on the family and Jazz didn't know how to clear it out.

So when a rough knocking came to the door she first checked the peephole before opening the door to Red Hood, letting him in since it was rare to even see him as of late.

The moment he entered both Danny and Ellie perked up and rushed towards the man in the red helmet, smiling and laughing for the first time in days.

Hood crouched down as Ellie jumped into a hug, Danny on the other hand was trying to climb on top of him for a piggy back ride, even though he was a crime lord he just made both Halfas feel safe. He gently squeezes her younger sister and ruffles Danny's hair.

"Hey, how are you two trouble makers doing? You as well Miss Jasmine, it's been a while."

Jazz smiled as she cleared a spot for Hood on the couch, not saying a word because, what could she say? Instead Ellie spoke up while squirming about.

"We got a new cat! His name is Alfred, I found him at our Gruncle Vinnie's place and I'm allowed to keep him long as he doesn't have another family." Ellie quickly slipped out of Hoods reach to grab the cat to show it off.

"Wow, he's adorable, though he does look familiar." Red Hood titled his head as he was still giving Danny a ride on his back.

"Really?" Ellie's eyes go into begging cute mode which makes Red chuckle. "Yeah, looks almost like my little brother's cat that snuck out a few days ago, same name too."

With a huff Ellie held Alfred tighter, "well if he wants this cat he's going to have to slipt custody with me."

"That he will, I'll make sure of it" Red patted the young girls head.

Standing up and flipping Danny over so he lands safely on the couch Red Hood takes a heros pose as he clears his throat.

"Ahem, Danny, Ellie, I got missions for both of you" he points at both of them, making them jump to attention. "Ellie, I need you to go to the kitchen and grab the caramel fudge from the freezer, I had ordered it and your mom said I can pick it up here." With that Ellie runs off. Next is Danny. "Little Hood? You go get all your folks up here, I want to have a small chat with them." Danny nods and heads to the basement, leaving the crime lord alone with Jazz.

Glancing around before he trained his eyes on the young lady he gives her the first reassuring news, "my helmet has a special sensor to check for any hidden cameras or listing devices, your house is in the clear."

Jazz lets out a sigh of relief, letting herself not be tensed since the first unannounced family drop in. Once she calmed down she lets Red Hood contuine.

"Also I know that Vinnie had threatened abd black mail your family, and I'm here to fix that problem." As he finshed that sentence Danny comes back into the living room, having dragged his dad up with the help of mom and Vlad.

Dad looked awful, he hadn't slept in days, barely ate, and was working himself to passing out, he was rading worry and fear. When he finally noticed Red Hood he standed more to attention as he moved closer.

"Mr. Hood, what do I owe the pleasure of you here?" Jack tried to sound happy but his voice couldn't reach his usual pitch, it sounded closer to being a rock dropping deeper into water.

"I'm here to make a counter deal to Vinnies."

"Wait what..?" Jack's voice fulters but with a twing of hope in it, letting Red Hood contuine with widen eyes.

"You heard me, I'm making a counter deal to that scum bag, and here are my reasons why; firstly he broke a rule of our own agreement, none of his goons or 'family' are allowed in my territory without permission, yet he sent three of his top dogs here thinking I wouldn't notice. Secondly he threatened you, no one threatens my people, especially not my weapons commissioners who I see as my own crew, no one fucks with my crew, not even batman or any other crime lords. Lastly, he used your kids as blackmail, that is a big no go, I won't stand around knowing someone uses kids in anyway dirty like that. Thats tree strikes, three and your out." His voice was harsh but caring as he folded his arms.

"So, what's the dealing your giving us?" Mom asks, holding Dads hand tightly.

Jazz swore she could sense a smirk under Red Hoods mask.

"My deal is this; you keep making non-lethal weapons for me and a few others, but this time as a full paid employee, and only make them for me and the folks in my turf, understood? In return I'll make sure your family actually stays safe, from Vinnie's mob and the Owls, heck if any villain even dares touch a hair on any of your heads it's game over. So what do you say, want to be perment partners?" Red Hood offers out his hand.

Jack looked frozen, yet his eyes almost lit up with hope and joy, a smile spread across his face. "You promise? The whole deal?"

"You bet, I got the paperwork with me right now, all legal too, all you got to do is read, sign it, and give it to me by the end if the week." Red still had his hand out for a shake.

Springing to life dad took his hand and shook it with an iron grip before pulling Hood into the softest bear hugs, pleasing thank yous into the man's shoulders.

Before leaving Red hands over the paper work, and shares a few peices of fudge with everybody, humming to himself as he leave. Pausing for a moment as he looks back and says one last parting words.

"Oh by the way, the whole 'Batman hates metas' thing is a lie, people just spread ot because it means less metas try to ask for help. He's not that bad actually."

With that Red Hood leaves the family to their new peace.

Now with a true written out deal in front of him Jack quickly kisses Maddie and Vlad deeply on the lips before pulling all his kids into a hug. He was sobbing and laughing as the greatest words spilled out.

"We're safe. We're finally safe."

Bonus;

Jason walks onto the manor with a big smile on his face, grabbing multiple family members attentions as he plops down onto a couch. "Behold, the lord of solving problems."

"Did you get Alfred back?" Damian leered over Todd with a scowl.

"No, but I know where he is, if you want your cat back you have to do joint custody with Ellie. Who knows maybe I can set up a play date for you two, she makes you look tamed." Jason snickers.

Damian was about to protest but Bruce cuts in. "Then what did you do? Also who's Ellie?"

Leaning his head back Jason got more comfortable, "I offered a better deal to the folks you were worried about and they took it, oh and don't worry they only do non killing weapons. As for who Ellie is, she's the small gal that has Alfred, she was the one who suggested the play date."

"Hm" Bruce needed to look into this more, but Jason did bring back good news, he thinks.

For now time will only tell.

Jack Fenton is From Gotham, a Headcannon

CstSo, Jack Fenton, Big, caring, Dad Shaped Individual who cares about Family and his Profession and would more than likely choose family if things went Funky. The Guy who has ran through multiple walls and is capable of fighting Ecto beings BARE FISTED and winning. This guy, who just looks at the mayhem around him and goes “Ah, a peaceful day.” while Maddie is losing her entire god damned mind. You can only really get that sort of attitude about chaos in a few places, and I think Jack was born and raised in Gotham, and furthermore, I think his parents generation of Fentons lived in Crime Alley. 

The IDEAS this gives me, like in a reveal gone sideways with the GIW finding out Jack takes Danny and hides out in his childhood romping grounds and the people just go “Oh Hey, Jack’s back.” and they just melt into the underbelly of Gotham, no one really the wiser and the GIW constantly losing vehicles and Agents to the meatgrinder that is Crime Alley.

Give Me Jack Fenton who has SEEN SOME SHIT, Give me Jack Fenton who has DONE SOME SHIT. This man knows how to do a lot of things and the legality therein can get very Sketchy. Then give us the glory and horror of Gothamites slowly emigrating too/immigrating from Amity Park and it’s just like, That Explains A LOT.

I ran away with this, I shall now tag folks who I think would like this.

My reviews on Manhwas

Alright so, recently I've began to fall into the great Manhwa hell, as if I didn't have enough fandoms.

But I neither have friends to chat about this with, nor a Discord chat where I can fanby about it, so I just decided to throw it in here.

These are both Manhwas I recommend and my opinions on them. If there are any spoilers, They will be striked through and in blue for anyone that wishes to avoid them (if anyone even reads this lol).

1. The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass (악녀는 모래시계를 되돌린다)

Premise: Aria was a terrible person and was sentenced to dead by being beheaded. In her final moments, she discovers her step sister, Mielle, actually manipulated her during her entire life just so she could get Aria killed. She then is beheaded, and wakes up in the past, in her child body. So now, she must work to both survive and get her revenge on her sister.

Lovely story, and my first Manhwa. The art is simply stunning, and all the characters are very flashed out and developed. Aria (MC) is the pettiest person alive and I'm here for that.

Also, I noticed a trend where, even though the manhwa has "Villainess" in the title, the MC is usually a total angel. Well, not here. Aria is egotistical and a total Diva, she has her goals and one of them is her revenge and by all that is sacred she'll get it.

Mielle is a great villain, she has grown a lot in her own pettiness and tactics since she was a child, and I really like that. Also, watching her suffer for being a terrible person is delightful.

The Male Lead (Asher) is also really cool, I like how he's both witty and friendly, and how much he truly admires Aria and her achievements.

The side characters are also pretty good, and they get a lot of focus because of their interactions with the main cast.

Again, The art is S T U N N I N G. Look at this:

Literally all panels are drawn like this or better, I'm in love.

All in all, an awesome read, 10/10, I love this a lot.

2. The Monster Duchess And Contract Princess (괴물 공작가의 계약 공녀)

Premise: Leslie's life was terrible, and always centered on her big sister, Eli. After a failed attempt of her family to grant Eli her sister's skills and knowledge, Leslie searches for the feared "Monster Duchess" in an attempt to survive.

Another one with incredible art AND incredible characters. Leslie is an absolute angel, and seeing her grow as a person is awesome.

The gender envy I feel with the Duchess is unbearable, she's utterly perfect. And the entire family is so dotting and loving and sweet, my little grinch heart can't take it.

She's perfection, really.

The plot keeps getting more and more mysterious, and I'm here for it!

I love each of the main characters a lot, and even the villains are well done and fuel your hatred.

Also, Eli Sperado and her Dad can choke on those black flames for all eternity.

Another 10/10, although I must warn anyone that wishes to read this that the translations sometimes are very spotty and messy, so it can be a bit annoying.

3. I'll be the Matriarch in this Life (이번 생은 가주가 되겠습니)

Premise: Firentia was a girl that died in Korea in her past life, and was reborn into an influential family as the illegitimate daughter of the third son. Her life was pretty terrible, with in the end, her family ending up in poverty and disgrace because of her uncles and cousins, while she was exiled from the family. After another accident, she wakes up in her past, now with a goal: Become the Lombardi matriarch and stop the other family heirs from bringing it to ruin.

Awesome art and Awesome plot number 3! This is so good, genuinely. Firentia is such an awesome plotter, and her goals and actions are very well developed.

The Male Lead is my baby and I shall protect him, and the side characters? Utterly stunning.

The twins are the cutest fucking shit, seriously. Like, look at these two?? I'm dead. Although, all the children are very, veeery cute.

I like how Firentia subtly manipulates things around her to get what she wants. It's similar to Aria, but she's much more mature and knowledgeable, and has a much less petty goal.

Guess what? 10/10. Yeah, I know, I'm terrible at grading, sue me.

4. The Twins Siblings' New Life (쌍둥이 남매의 뉴라이프)

Premise: Arien and Arjen were a pair of twins that died in Korea, and were reborn again as twins and as the Emperor's illegitimate children. Now, with only each other to trust, they must do their best to survive.

My current obsession. I really like this one. The art is not on the same level of pure Awesome like the ones before, but it's pretty good nonetheless.

The plot is pretty nice, but I must warn you: DO NOT expect them to act like adults. Honestly, just forget they're meant to be reborn in this world. They're just normal children and that's it. They act like children, and they think like children. Honestly, I think the author just wanted to make this story about them as children and their producer went and said to make them reincarnates because that Isekai shit is popular nowadays (And to justify they having memories of their newborn days). Seriously, just ignore it, the experience reading will be much better.

Other than that, the story develops nicely. The characters are all very good and the plot is very mysterious. I am holding myself back to not spoil anything, aaaaa.

There is also only one another thing that disappoints me: Arien is very clearly the MC. The story is told by her eyes and we only know what Arjen thinks or feels when he says it 9 or by subtext). I really wish it was more balanced, because they're both different people and have different perspectives, and also I really like Arjen.

I have absolutely no idea where this plot is gonna go, and honestly? I like it. It's very rare when I don't know how things are gonna develop because of other stories, so it feels very fresh.

The brothers are freaking awesome. I was so scared they were going to hate the twins and be petty, because of other manhwas that are like that, but they're so loving and sweet?? All hail these idiots. Also, Daddy is the biggest dumbass of all, this poor clueless man.

An 8/10, because of the complaints above. Still a good read, and I really like it, even with it's defects.

4. I'm A Stepmother, But My Daughter Is Just Too Cute! (계모인데 딸이 너무 귀여워)

Premise: A seamstress dies of overwork in Korea, and wakes up in the body of Abigail, the vain Queen, and the evil stepmother to the princess Blanche. Yes, It's like she stepped into the world of Snow White, and she must now do her best to live and.. Dote on Blanche with toys and dresses as much as possible?

Again with the awesome art and nice plot. Why are there so many manga with awesome art?? I'm so envious.

May all hail this crispy, delicious art.

Abigail is a whole mood, and I enjoy how she is inserted into the life of someone who had already lived and had a reputation. Her actions baffle a lot of the characters, as do her motivations, and I'm here for it.

The King has also an amazing backstory that's very tragic and yikes. I enjoy it, really. Not something you see in men's backstories that much.

Also, I'm kinda saddened by the fact the MC and the king are bound to become an actual couple. They would be such good platonic friends stuck in a political marriage. I was robbed, y'all.

Abigail greatest ambition is to get to design a dress for Blanche and have her wear it, and you know what? Good for her! Sometimes, it's good to have an MC that is not plotting against world at large.

Also, her mirror? Verite is simply perfect, I love this guy. I non-jokingly ship him with Abigail more than her with the King.

Blanche is a sweetheart, she deserves to be in my "adopted children" wall.

For now it's more of a Slice of Life than anything? But I also don't know what happens in the novels, so I'm just going to wait.

For the current lack of a grater plot, this gets a 7/10. Still pretty good and entertaining, especially for when you just don't feel like trying to understand deep plots with lots of elements.

5. Beware of the Brothers! (그 오빠들을 조심해!)

Premise: Another one of those "I lived my life and then wake up in the past." Hari was adopted by this family after the death of their only daughter, and although her parents love her, her 3 older siblings very much don't. She lives a miserable life in their hands, and when it's the night before she is to get married and finally escape her brothers, she wakes up in the past, and has to deal with them all over again.

Another nice art one, and the background characters are very nice, as is the MC.

But for me, it has a big problem. And that problem is the main ship. It's Hari with her eldest brother, Eugene. Even though they are not related and yadda yadda yadda, they were raised as such, and thus it bothers me. Also, Eugene is as plain as white bread and just as generic when seen as the Male Lead.

I ship Hari with Johan, even though I know it's not gonna happen, Ugh, the pain..

For me, the main point in this is Hari's relationship with her other siblings and the other background characters. I'm here for that wholesome sibling interaction. Her relationship with Erich, specially, is awesome. I love these two so much

It also kinda lacks a plot? Other than the relationship development and their story as a family, but again, I have no idea how they will develop this.

Also, pet peeve? Why do they keep using Oppa instead of translating it properly as brother? I get honorifics and stuff, but it's so annoying.

I give it a 6/10. Good characters and good relationships outside of the bloody incest thing, and it's a good enough way to pass the time.

There are two more that I've read, buut it's like 4am and I'm sleepy as all hell, so I'll just add it in a reblog or attached post later, and I plan on doing this for other future manhwas as well.

Do you have any recommendations or comments or just wanna talk about any of these manhwas? Hit me up!

danny phantom season 2, ep 12-16 thoughts! these episodes, in comparison to the first 10 or so, felt way more laid back and low-stakes, which I appreciate sometimes. I didn't appreciate how lazy jack's halfa design was in masters of time, it made me so annoyed I redesigned it. 👎🏻 u_u

see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3

-'picking a fight with me and my upgraded form!' 'you upgraded to a mullet?' DANNNNY. YOU CANT SAY THAT TO TECHNUS. YOUVE HAD A MULLET TWICE NOW ('fun' split danny, and evil future danny BOTH HAD THEM). I HAVE THE RECEIPTS.

-danny seeing technus hurting valerie and yelling I AM GOING TO BREAK YOU IN HALF. SAMEEEE <3

-axion labs is now a part of vladco. FUCK YOU VLAD. hes not even really IN this episode, but just thought I'd throw out a nice fuck you anyway.

-'capable of blasting a single person into space in (2) minutes!' tucker. that would kill someone. i mean yeah they might get to space, but theres NO WAY THEY WOULDNT CATCH FIRE, OR THEIR ORGANS WOULDNT LIQUIFY BECAUSE OF THE STRAIN. THEY'D PROBABLY PASS OUT BEFORE THEN, BUT. ...no, okay, I get why vlad bought this company. this is RIGHT up his alley.

-danny KNOWS VAL DIDNT DO THIS, THAT SOMEONE STOLE THE SUIT. AND SPENDING ALL NIGHT CHATTING WITH HER. <3 and val is a 9TH DEGREE BLACKBELT?? danny's mom is, too!! omg and she hunts ghosts, his parents would love her. and her fav fruit is kumquat bc its a funny word. im so with danny val is amazing. I love her and I Do Not Want To Hear It From Sam.

-I knew danny wanted to be an astronaut, but the bowling tidbit is like. yes give me more useless info abt these characters, I love tiny details that make them feel more human, and im glad hes got hobbies aside from ghost stuff, we dont really see a lot of that!!! (I mean, we knew 'fun' danny from when he split himself in half liked bowling, so obv it makes sense he LIKES it, but hes very GOOD at it. so proud of him, bowling king) val calling him neil armstrong and them teasing each other. LOVE THAT.

-technus you are my favorite grandpa for setting this up. SAM WHY ARE YOU BEING SO CREEPY BE HAPPY FOR YOUR FRIEND!!! STOP SPYING ON THEM!!! who actually cares if technus did 'set them up' together, theyre having fun and enjoy each others company!!! 'you think the universe wants you two to be together?' 'i dunno, but maybe /I/ do!' EXACTLY DANNY!!! SOO TRUE.

-and valerie being happy sam said she wants to try and be happy for them and make room at the lunch table for them. and hugging sam over it. VAL NEEDS MORE FRIENDS.

-VAL GOING AFTER TECHNUS IN HER SUIT WITH (1) MILK, AND (1) TREE BRANCH AND KEYS!!!. I LOVE YOUUUU BEST GIRL. her new suit kicks ass

-dannys like 'HEY IM AN ASTRONAUT :D' AW. ...HES IN SPACE... the fact he's actually intending to give her the ring. with SAMS NAME ON IT?? IM CRINGING DANNY NO. YOU CANT DO THAT...thank god he didnt. thank god valerie cut it off and said they can just stay friends for now. tbh, they both have a lot on their plates!! they obv both still like each other...it can be a future thing!! when she knows about phantom! youre 14 theres no need to rush. I just want her to have friends and be happy :(

-...danny struggles to do (1) pull up. SAME. but all the ghost fighting in phantom form REALLY doesnt carry over at ALL? that sucks

-sam being as fit as she is, is not just a goth. shes a goth jock.

-honey I Shrank Our Kid, One of his Enemies, and his Bully: the episode

-dash's crush on phantom is So Obvious. fitness buddies :) watching them interact always makes me laugh. also, phantom, with PANTS. 'how many costume changes you gonna go through, what is this, vegas??' DASSH DJKSFHASKDF

-MADDIE GOING AFTER THE MOUSE WITH A BROOM, WHAT THE FUCK. AAAH. JUST BUY SOME KIND OF MOUSE TRAP.

-danny likes lime and vinegar chips. which sound very good.

-'our boy finally has the physical prowess of a 60 year old president!' ...poor danny LMAO

-'what's wrong with beauty pageants' oh tucker you sweet naïve child. what ISNT wrong with them. who approved this for a high school?? (I mean, yes. unfortunately child pageants exist, but...) also danny and tucker once again treating the pretty girls like objects. I need to meet the grown man who wrote this, I just want to talk...

-prince aragon's dragon form reminds me of maleficent (color scheme wise) which is always a bonus. considering the episode is called beauty marked, I feel like the sleeping beauty references are deliberate

-sam with the fake fangs. once again her accessories never miss. hate the 'not like other girls, girls who get sucked into this kind of thing are all shallow and all want to be carbon copies' bs tho.

-sam trying to be the Worst Bride, being rude as shit. DORA IS GOING TO GET KILLED. DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE SHE SAID THE PRINCE WILL HAVE HER HEAD IF YOU ARENT THE IDEAL BRIDE. YOU /KNOW/ DANNY WILL COME SAVE YOU. JUST ACT CHILL UNTIL THEN. even if you were doing fine to get him to take off the crown, consider maybe not letting his poor sister get punished also?? sure, she could also take off the crown and has dragon powers, but did you know that for sure?? dora didnt even really realize it until you guys talked!! (or at least, she was scared to stand up to him. you had no guarantee she would...) but. good for dora. ANOTHER friendly ghost to add to the List :)

-tucker is so under appreciated in his time. if he was doing a tech-based campaign today he'd have a better shot. people in 2004 had NO IDEA how much tech would be a part of our day-to-day lives...altho. tbh if you're going to be running for student council president, maybe you should..focus on things to actually improve the school? since he's going for a tech angle, he could say like, he would be running fundraisers for the schools computers to be upgraded, etc? we've already SEEN he can be good at money-making entrepreneur type stuff!!

-oh my god wait. this episode is JUST YUGIOH?????! A REBORN PHAROH USING A TEENAGER AS A VESSEL?? YESSSSSS

-tucker using his new minion to feed him grapes and carry him. AND LOCUSTS ONTO THE BULLIES. I love how when he's possessed, he gains winged eyeliner.

-this episode is giving me big 'plankton makes everyone in bikini bottom his slaves and build monuments of him from the spongebob movie' vibes. and the pharaoh has a traitor who works for him? VERY big yugioh vibes. aknadin confirmed

-I like that danny is still completely exhausted after using ghostly wail. (still patiently waiting on him to get duplication)

-LOVE the fenton's 80s outfits. I get hes 14 and embarrassed by everything they do because theyre his parents, but. cmon, this is one objectively cool thing theyve done. love 80s fashion.

-...was vlad just standing on that streetlight waiting for danny to come out? how'd he know they'd be coming out the back? how long has he been up there???

-oh, wait, his ecto-acne has flareups? that SUCKS. danny was...well I dont want to say he was LUCKY HE HALF-DIED, but he was lucky his was pretty instant (I'm assuming that had to do with the power/scale of the portals being different?) I remember in the ep we met him, vlad made a point of saying he was stuck in a hospital for a long time, so. that really actually sucks and I feel bad. not that it excuses anything he's done...but like. it does suck.

-vlad being so sure danny wouldnt help him he made it somehow contagious to his friends to make sure he'd get help? danny is a nice boy, he wouldve helped if it was anyone else. the only reason he wouldn't have is because of the shit vlad did to him, on purpose. vlad 100% dug his own grave by being the biggest asshole, so it is very hard to feel bad for him.

-clockwork is back!!! and making danny learn lessons The Hard Way. Uhhh, okay. I kind of get Danny’s logic, that time traveling this far back would prevent vlad from becoming a halfa also, ergo no arch nemesis or ectoacne to worry about. But the fact that was basically the first solution Danny came up with to solve this problem is actually so funny. It’s so extreme

-APPRICIATION FOR THESE 80S LESBIAN BG CHARACTERS.

-vlad telling maddie in the lab (in the 80s) he has something he's wanted to tell her 'for a long time'...how long have they known each other? I assumed they met in college, since jack always calls vlad his college buddy/roommate, so jack and vlad for sure met in college, but did vlad know maddie longer? thats surprising if so. Tho we don’t know what year of college they’re in so they could mean they met as freshmen and a few years have past…speaking of maddie shes crushing the 80s look.

-vlad blames jack, but. maybe dont stick your face 2 inches from the portal??! THIS FEELS LIKE LAB SAFETY BASICS. IF SOMETHING HAS POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS, DONT GET NEAR IT. WITH YOUR FACE UNPROTECTED IN ANY WAY. (altho jack didnt really give a Big Warning besides screaming BONZAI. so. also that, but cmon.) also, they need gloves, goggles, and to pull all of their hair back tbh. but fuck lab safety, I guess!

-cryyyyinnng at how lazy they were with jack's ghost form design, its just plasmius' design on jack!!! you couldve given him his own design!!

-there. I did that in about 10 minutes and its somehow less lazy than what made it into the show. embarrassing! better yet, I think the episode would've been better if maddie would've gotten the ectoacne. or maybe its just me, wanting to see her design! anyway. I'm sure people have already done redesigns of them both as halfas. I have to go look after I finish this watch through. Also mildly frustrated jacks resentment and bitterness is basically also a copy paste of vlads backstory. They’re different characters, I really don’t think jack would stew in bitterness and jealousy the same way vlad would!! I also don’t think he’d give up after one time of trying to hunt ghosts and getting laughed at. Our canon timeline says different…I dunno, I get it was for laughs, but I’m annoyed because the POTENTIAL this plot has…

-did vlad really wear a stupid cheese hat to his wedding. ok actually that kinda rules. and the cheese door knocker. the dairy-only buffet table. vlad still got rich, just on being the New Dairy King. (Assuming that means he owns a lot of dairy businesses?) ok! this actually is great. hope maddie isn't lactose intolerant!

-'no matter how hard I tried, I could never get rid of my ghost half, the half I knew Maddie could never accept' ohh, ouch, what a horrible thing to say to her HALF GHOST SON. 'YOUR MOM WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU' BASICALLY.

-maddie strapping danny to the table with a lazer pointed at him in a secret lab she keeps from vlad that she makes a point of saying is sound proof so he can scream all he wants...CHRIST. DANNYS POOR PYSCHE.

-also, not to feel bad for alternate vlad (because, he did lie to maddie saying jack blames her and never wants to see her again...) but. being married to a woman 20+ years and she immediately goes back to jack? if she didnt love vlad and feels like she had to hide shit from him, and says she wasted her best years with him, WHY MARRY HIM. it feels like leading him on!!! cannot believe im feeling bad for vlad, but. this alternate timeline vlad is significantly Less Horrible than Our Vlad. did she not think she'd get funding for her ghost stuff? (which, fair assumption since they're considered 'ghost fanatics/nuts in canon...but...) why did she think jack or vlad would be her ONLY OPTIONS? be like your sister. be single. Actually, this au could’ve been really interesting if after the accident, vlad lied to her and said jack never wanted to see her again, but she stays single. Imagine how much that would bug vlad… like, in her mind, it was never a competition it was jack or no one type situation…

-danny being like 'leave him ALONE' this jack is a HOMEWRECKER, DANNY. let them go to court and settle this at the least. ...or just throw vlad into the portal. (100% human, defenseless vlad) CHRIST, MADDIE THATS BRUTAL. THATS MURDER.

-danny seeing his mom immediately accepting him and his dad being half ghosts in this universe, if I was him this would be a great sign that his universe's maddie would also.

-*maddie voice* "clockwork will help!" *2 seconds later, with clockwork* "I will Not Help." TOUGH LOVE KING. YES LET DANNY SEE THE SODA HIMSELF AND DEVOLP BETTER OBSERVATION SKILLS.

-when clockwork ""reset time to the way it was"" just before danny "meddled"" ...did he really erase a whole alternate timeline? ...damn. because maddie and danny both called it an alternate timeline by name, it splitting when the college incident went different, so it wouldnt have really mattered if he reset it, right. like because danny's timeline is on a different stream? why didnt clockwork just. show danny a replay and not Reset That Timeline. wh...I wonder how many people that Erased From Existence. Anyway! once again stating clockwork is casually terrifying!

[word-addict-lisette]

Dear Lisette,

I am back in you inbox, yay! How was your day? How's life? How's school?

I am really mad because we had this piece of work and it was like "pen down your idea on this statement, 'i can do whatever i want on the internet as long as i don't get caught' and i put down my thoughts which were 'this statement is true, i stand by it and you can do whatever you like as long as you don't get caught and don't own up' and then people were like throwing shade at me and i looked at it. I have 5 comments.

My teachers tried to delete it, my classmates literally lectured me and then she read it out loud and the whole class went looking for that one note i made. In the comments, people are spelling my name in caps. It was my opinion, and oh, look all of them are basically hypocrites. Let me just say, these people make me uncomfortable, they don't talk about exactly nice things or approriate things and they are all commenting ( without names too may i add) like "KAT, THAT'S NOT HOW THINGS WORK!" but with my real name and just arghhh.

Also if my teachers wanted me to say, "no, that isn't the right thing to do," or any other answer that the others provided them with, they shouldn't have asked for my opinion. They should have just forced us all to just type the same thing. The other people all wrote like, "no, its unethical and bad" or "False, no, its bad" and stuff like that, filmsy evidence and elaboration. I HAVE MORALS, i am just saying the truth. I feel like the victim of a hate crime. People don't like me enough already, i am a very intresting person, uh, yeah, we are gonna stop there.

Enjoy the rant i guess? I don't know? I am sorry for loading on you but there's a little extra rant so uh, yeah. im just gonna take this out, one sec.

Ok, so uh my teacher was like, next week, we are making pancakes. Fluffy pancakes. It was changed to pancakes without eggs? and now we have to make it ourselves, at home. Where do i get flour? What do i do with the extra flour? I don't know how to cook at all, my partner who has been extremely controlling and like kinda driving me insane, ( ahem i did the whole coursework) also she uses my friend's name for everything? Like, bestie i was literally helping out and you went all, "Oh you don't want (friend's name) to see you burnt right?". Obviously i don't but if i burnt down my house, she wouldn't be surprised. I BURNT MYSELF LAST YEAR, SHE SAW ME BURN MYSELF. Well, my friend burnt me and then the week after that, she burnt herself.

This happens a lot. Also, the very common questions and statements of, "Are you straight?" , "aren't you and (friend's name) dating?", "you guys would make such a cute couple" , " aren't you bi?" and "i thought the two of you were dating," there is nothing wrong with being bi but i am not attracted to her like that. So, they use her for leverage over me to get me to do what they want and also think im dating her? If we were dating, we would both be homeless. I like my house. This doesn't only happen with her. I once got shipped with my brother. I hugged him and some guy was like, "oh you guys like each other," that was awkward. Can i just add, a lot of people like majority of that community know we are siblings.

I also get shipped with his best friend, thanks to a rumor my brother made up. So, sometimes, i would get like comments like, "oh, you like him" or "(brother's name) told me that you and (brother's best friend) are dating," we are not dating. WE ARE JUST REALLY GOOD FRIENDS. I LIKE A FICTIONAL CHARACTER. LEAVE ME ALONE. Also, everytime i have a picture of a guy on my phone or something my cousin just has to tell my brother. THEY ARE STREAMERS. ONE IS OF V FROM BTS SO I CAN TRAMATISE MY FRIEND.

Everytime i cry, someone comes in my room. It is so annoying. LEAVE ME ALONE, I WANT TO CRY. This is why i started reading sad books, listening to sad songs, watching sad movies so i have a reason to cry. There was this once, i wasnt selected to be part of my choir's competition and i was sad about it because i didn't feel good enough. THEY SAID I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. So, i cried but it wasn't enough so i read the saddest book i could find so i had a reason to cry but by that time, my feelings were gone. This is why i get breakdowns when im overwhelmed because of all this. You know how old i am. I have to deal with this and the pressure of always wanting to be perfect. What else can i do? I am not pretty or smart or talented or have friends, i have like 6 friends and nobody ever keeps me company. So, i focus on being perfect. 100%, i deal with not having any attention because my parents didn't pay me any attention just because i was "independent" or something?

Did i mention, i babysit all my siblings? I am the second child. I baby-sit my older brother. I am sleep-deprived because i can't sleep well at night and i constantly worry about everything and i have to take care of all my friends and it is so exhausting. Yet, i can not cry.

Thanks for staying with me through whatever that was. Uh, yeah, i took the quiz and got chaotic academia. That is my aesthetic. I really want one of those fancy skirts they wear like on pintrest and stuff? Like you know what i mean? The academia skirt? Yeah, i don't have one yet.

Question of the day, what is your dream profession or you could answer my other question which is what would you want to look like? Or you could answer both?

Ok, thank you again. i am gonna go study. Love and hugs and just literal joy sent your way!

Dear Kat,

It's really good to see you in my inbox. I'm sorry for replying late, but exams really had occupied my schedule today and I got my Saturday exam tomorrow. This week is going to be stressful and today's day has been pathetic. I had nothing to do except study and write exams. I feel like I haven't really been social recently and That I'm losing touch with people that I used to be close with and basically I'm letting overthinking take over my mind.

That is so sick. Why is someone's genuine opinion bothering them so much? I totally wouldn't be able to tolerate that. They ought to understand that there is a fine line between a fact and an opinion, and what you stated was just an OPINION. they have no right whatsoever to come at you like that. I totally agree... the teachers ought to have not asked for your opinion if all they desired was a particularly specific answer which opposed the statement. one of the reasons I hate the schooling system has to be THIS. people who are putting comments like that ought to realize that what you stated is exactly what they do in real life. They just want to be seen as the good kid here. At least you have the guts enough to speak the truth.

Miss! You don't have to worry about ranting out to me. You can rant to me for days and I'd still listen. Just go on ranting nobody is stopping you.

Ahhh! I've had that happen to me. I really understand how tough that can be. I really really hate being shipped with someone who I am just platonically friends with like you've got no valid proof to believe that we are romantically involved with each other. I've burnt myself plenty of times too. It's not a pleasant experience. Plus I also hate having controlling partners. Cause all they do is boss you around while they are barely doing a thing. It sucks.

Why? Just why? Why does it even matter to them? Who you date and what your sexuality is, is none of their business. I have no idea why people concern themselves with topics that really don't involve them. It's like people are just ready to make gossip out of anything. A person can't have a bestie without not liking them? I don't get what's so difficult to understand about that. I hate it when I'm casually talking to a guy and people start shipping us and start spreading rumors of us being in a romantic relationship. Another thing they do is, if a person likes me, they automatically assume that I like him back when I've barely even ever spoken to that guy. And yes! I like fictional characters! Don't even assume I like any of you fools cause You idiots bully me and ship me with total crackheads... And my standards are good enough for me to not include you guys in my list of *appropriate candidates* which consists of non-existent people.

Similarly, the moment I'm chatting with some guy, or like have a pic with someone on my mobile phone people just assume that fact that I'm crushing on him. Like no! I don't. We are friends... the others are celebrities, Why can't you understand that? I can't imagine how thick their skull must be considering they can't let a small statement like that sink in.

The crying thingy... I feel personally attacked. Nobody lets me do anything in peace, let alone crying. I literally use the washroom in my room and even my sister comes in there just banging on the door asking me to get the heck out of there and go somewhere else, like can't she use the other two washrooms or what? I like listening to sad stuff and reading angst cause somehow or the other it calms me down... it makes me feel at peace cause I know I'm not the only one who feels like crying. I've got a lot of friends, nobody remembers my birthday, I remember all of theirs'. They don't even text me, It's always me who takes the first step. All my friends just want me by their side cause I'm a smartass they want to show off as a trophy and cause I've got much better sarcasm than them. They just want to benefit from me. That's all. GOD, I'm not pretty at all. I look like a random idiot all the time. I look pathetic. And I lack talent... And you! I warned you, miss! You are pretty, beautiful, talented, smart, friendly, caring, kind and THE BEST!!!

I've never been given attention. Never ever. My sister has always stolen the spotlight. And I hate it. Not even my friends acknowledge me, my parents just ehhhhh. No matter how good I score, No matter how good I behave, No matter what. I'm just never good enough. My parents think of me as a rebellious kid. And I don't know what to do about that. All I've ever done is listen to them. My parents never allowed me to go out and play with my friends when I was a kid, they never let me go on overnight trips, and they barely let me spend time with the few friends I have. They never let me go to outings my school friends planned. Despite that, I never complained. I never had good friends because of that, yet I never complained. A lot of kids my age roam around in shopping malls by themselves, have sleepovers, spend money, roam around with tons of makeup on their faces, are in relationships, and even get into illegal shit. I've never done anything Like that. And yet... I'm never the good kid. I'm still the rebel.

I've got to take care of my sister almost every day. Get her to study, study myself, take care of myself while tolerating my grandmother. I really don't like my grandma, she s very fussy and just keeps yelling around the house the moment my dad and mom leave the house. I've got sensory overload because of her voice. And now I sit and have an anxiety attack almost every time she speaks. I've always got to strive for perfection as well. And I too can't sleep well at night just cause all the worries of the world, keep weighing me down.

Chaotic academia sounds good. It's the same aesthetic my sister got when I asked her to take the test! And oooh! Me too! I love those skirts and outfits they show on Pinterest. I'd love to have them someday.

My dream profession has to be that of a writer. Or perhaps even running a library. just something cozy. Ohh! I'd love to have brown hair, and I'd want to be tall just a little shorter than What I am right now. I just reached my father's height yesterday. And more or less, I'd like the rest to stay just as it is. and perhaps a lighter shade of skin tone. What about you though?

My question for you! If you were to be stranded on a beach island for a week. Who would you bring with you and how would you spend your time there. You can include whatever elements of nature you want to include like forests, lakes, and all.

Sending love, warmth, hugs, and whatever I have to spare that you would like to you!!!!

-Love from Lisette

P.S. That's an interesting family you've got, right there!

56 Days of Gratitude #32

32. Self reflections and "me time"

Okay, so I skipped a few days and I've shuffled today forward from yesterday.

I skipped days because Saturday was the local suicide Prevention Day Memorial Day (I typoed Day as Dad, fitting), and Friday I was steeling myself for it, Saturday I was there, Sunday I was feeling my feelings. Yesterday I was just busy with other stuff.

So, I've been going to the SBSPN Memorial Day for several years now, but obviously this is the first one since Dad and Joss suicided. As I said in my post Saturday evening, my sister and brother-in-law came up from Hobart. After the service, everyone follows a lone piper down to the beach and there's the opportunity to cast flowers out into the water. My mother-in-law had brought us some gardenias from her garden, and there are always huge baskets of rose petals.

My sister and I rolled up our trousers and took our gardenias, a handful of rose petals, and a baggie each of Dad and Joss's ashes out into knee-deep water, and let the last of them go. Then we stood there in the water and hugged and cried before we waded back to the beach holding hands.

One of the women from the SBSPN was at the water's edge with a basket of petals, and she said "There's plenty still here, take some more and send them out. I know you need them this year, Erica."

Afterwards, there is a hamburger and sausage sizzle put on by the Lions Club, and tea and coffee with cake and biscuits (Australian style biscuits!!), and everyone mingles and chats and there is a lot of hugging, which is nice because we're in a pretty good COVID place here for now - borders re-open on the 15th, so there's sure to be a wave of COVID infections once the Mad Mainlanders get back in! 😉

Saturday was also my daughter's birthday, again the first since we've lost her grandparents, and they felt it especially that they didn't hear from their Nan. My birthday's next month and I'm already dreading it.

So. Onto today's "me time". I'm going to attempt some productivity today, but it will have to be tempered with being sensible because we went to Hobart yesterday and I'm rather sore.

I seem to be focusing mostly on the middle room in my Packing Up The House efforts, but I should probably deal with the elephant in the room - my snowed-under dining table and the altar/curio shelf which is festering in the corner behind the table at this point. I've become blinkered to them because I haven't had anywhere else to put the table, which means I can't get to the altar properly. But since Celeste passed away, I can move the table to where her cage was with a bit of sorting in that area as well.

Another thing I'm going to do is continue watching episodes of The Hoarder Next Door. I've been really feeling the absence of my parents, and the pull of retail therapy, even though I still have so much of their stuff to finish sorting out properly, not to mention so much of my own crap to clear out so I can move forward with having my new house built.

I can absolutely 100% empathise with hoarders whose illness is triggered by the loss of a loved one, especially those who suffered multiple losses in a short space of time. I know I have clutterer/hoarding tendencies anyway - as did my parents, obviously!! - and watching the shows that deal with people years down the track from their trigger events reminds me that holding onto things won't fill that space, and neither will buying more. All it will do is fill my house with junk and vermin, and fill my body with pain and stress.

Memories aren't in things. You don't have more memories by having more things. You have to curate the things you keep, distil them down to the really important, the things that truly add value to your life in the now. Whether that's in practical usefulness or in aesthetic joy, or in warm nostalgia.

I did joke, while clearing out Mum's place, that minimalism was starting to seem really good. I'm still not a minimalism kind of person, but after having to deconstruct two lives within the space of four months - we started dad's on July 5th, I finished Mum's on October 29th - I have seriously reconsidered my habit of holding onto things for years because They Might Be Useful One Day.

Guess where I got that from? 😏🥰

My Top 10 Favourite Horrors

Within this top 10 list, some will include the prequels, sequels and any other follow ups as 1 ranking number. Some may be considered thriller, sci-fi, suspence etc, however, I do regard these as horrors myself.

I have take many aspects into account, such as videography, actor quality, SFX makeup quality, soundtrack, directors, CGI etc.

Note : this is my personal opinion. You do not have to agree with it, though if you haven't seen these, I highly reccomend them.

1. The Conjuring

(1 & 2)

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

The Conjuring 1 :

The Perron family moves into a farmhouse where they experience paranormal phenomena. They consult demonologists, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to help them get rid of the evil entity haunting them.

The Conjuring Trailer :

The Conjuring 2 :

Peggy, a single mother of four children, seeks the help of occult investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren when she and her children witness strange, paranormal events in their house

The Conjuring 2 Trailer :

My Opinion :

The Conjuring was the start of an incredible series of horrors that beat any other horror to the ground. It is absolutely fantastic and I basically worship these films. James Wan is my favourite director and he never ceases to amaze me.

Paranormal horror is my favourite and as someone who actually believes in the paranormal and who has had paranormal experiences, I can confirm that The Conjuring is much more realistic than any other paranormal films, which just makes it extra spooky.

The actors, camera angles, music, sfx makeup and storyline is just - chefs kiss -. I've been waiting for the 3rd one for so long, but they keep extending the release date. (R. I. P)

2. Annabelle

(all of them)

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

Annabelle :

John and Mia Form are attacked by a Satan worshipping couple, who uses their doll as a conduit to make their life miserable. This unleashes a string of paranormal events in the Forms' residence.

Annabelle Trailer :

Annabelle Creation :

Samuel and Elle embed their daughter's spirit into a doll, only to realise it is a demon. Years later, they open their home to a nun and six orphan girls, one of whom finds the doll.

Annabelle Creation Trailer :

Annabelle Comes Home :

Judy and her babysitter are left alone in her house after her parents leave to investigate a case. However, an unexpected guest sets Annabelle free, unleashing demonic activity in the house.

Annabelle Comes Home Trailer :

My Opinion :

Another great film series that was birthed form The Conjuring. Definitely less realistic, with many more jumpscares and spooky characters, which is appreciated in the horror world. Many people find dolls far more creepy than ghosts, myself included, so that's another perfect aspect that adds to the suspense.

I prefer Annabelle 3 over the others, mainly because I found that one to be more scary overall, even though Daniela is an idiot and she makes me so frustrated 😂

3. Saw

(all of them)

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

For the totally unindoctrinated, the Saw movie franchise revolves around the Jigsaw Killer (a.k.a. John Kramer), who tortures victims he believes are complacent or guilty, in order to make them appreciate their time on Earth.

All Saw Trailers :

Obviously I'm not going to list every Saw movie, because there are 7 (Jigsaw aka number 8, does NOT count. It is a disgrace).

My Opinion :

A classic for horror and gore lovers of all kinds. Of course I need to list this as number 3. I simply adore these movies. I even have the DVD set, so I am definitely a long term fan haha.

The obstacles and creativity regarding Saw as a whole needed a lot of thought put into it, plus it has a happy little side note of "make sure you don't cause harm to others in life and don't take anything for granted" which some may have not even noticed while being overwhelmed by the amount of fake blood.

Yes, a lot of characters are annoying, but that just makes us enjoy seeing them tortured even more (shh it's not real). Some of the blood doesn't look very realistic, the sfx can lack attention, BUT... It's still great and I can overlook these few flaws to appreciate the movies to the max.

4. Blair Witch

(2016)

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀 ⦁ ════════╗

A young man and his friends venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mystery surrounding his missing sister. Many believe her disappearance 17 years earlier is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch.

At first the group is hopeful, especially when two locals act as guides through the dark and winding woods. As the night wears on, a visit from a menacing presence soon makes them realize that the legend is all too real, and more sinister than they could have ever imagined.

Blair Witch Trailer :

My Opinion :

I love the camerawork. Not because it's perfect, because it's the opposite. It's a documentary style and this makes it feel more realistic, as if you are within the film yourself. I enjoy how they skip to the action at just the right time after a mild buildup.

The visuals are great as well and there were definitely some parts where I was disgusted and claustrophobic, which is good to experience while enjoying these types of films.

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

5. Under The Skin

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

Disguising itself as a human female, an extraterrestrial drives around Scotland attempting to lure unsuspecting men into her van. Once there, she seduces and sends them into another dimension where they are nothing more than meat.

Under The Skin Trailer :

My Opinion :

I would classify this as horror, but many won't. Either way, this is an amazingly artistic film with beautiful imagery and silent awe. It definitely makes you feel the suspense in a calming manner and it has some really dark moments. Without reading the description, one might be confused as to what is going on, but how art is supposed to be interpretated is by the imagination of individuals.

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

6. Veronica

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

During a solar eclipse, young Verónica and her friends want to summon the spirit of Verónica's father using an Ouija board. However, during the session she loses consciousness and soon it becomes clear that evil demons have arrived.

Veronica Trailer :

My Opinion :

A Spanish masterpiece, to put it simply. It's hard to find proper horrors like this in English. I really enjoyed this one and I watched it subbed not dubbed, because I feel like voiceovers tend to ruin the art of the original film. The buildup is perfect and unlike many horrors, it barely shows you the face of the "monster". That leaves it to the imagination, which in general makes it far more scary.

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

⦁

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

7. Underwater

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

Disaster strikes more than six miles below the ocean surface when water crashes through the walls of a drilling station. Led by their captain, the survivors realize that their only hope is to walk across the sea floor to reach the main part of the facility. But they soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they come under attack from mysterious and deadly creatures that no one has ever seen.

Underwater Trailer :

My Opinion :

This movie was released quite recently and I didn't know what to expect. I was definitely blown away by how good it was. Being trapped underwater gives most people a sense of anxiety. Add being trapped underwater and being hunted by creepy sea monsters and you've got yourself a good horror. Kristen Stewarts general anxious personality definitely suits this film well.

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

8. Split

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

Kevin, who is suffering from dissociative identity disorder and has 23 alter egos, kidnaps three teenagers. They must figure out his friendly personas before he unleashes his 24th personality.

Split Trailer :

https://youtu.be/84TouqfIsiI

My Opinion :

An incredible film with phenomenal acting on the part of James McAvoy. You can get lost within his character and almost feel as if you are the character itself. Suspense is built up slowly and the climax of the film is released rapidly. People I know who do not enjoy horror, love this film themselves, which is saying something. It's definitely one of the best modern films that draws you in from the start.

9. A Quiet Place

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

A family struggles for survival in a world where most humans have been killed by blind but noise-sensitive creatures. They are forced to communicate in sign language to keep the creatures at bay.

A Quiet Place Trailer :

https://youtu.be/WR7cc5t7tv8

My Opinion :

As you can tell by now, I love anything alien related. This film has some of the most amazing looking aliens I've seen, I was honestly in awe by how great they looked. Another silent film, but in a different sense to the previous one. Instead of being the hunter, this family is being hunted and this adds more to the fear factor.

10. Unfriended - Dark Web

╚════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╝

╔════════ ⦁💀⦁ ════════╗

When a teen finds a laptop with a cache of hidden files, he and his friend discover that the previous owner has access to the dark web and is watching over them.

Unfriended - Dark Web Trailer :

https://youtu.be/XenTM_C9fxM

My Opinion :

A modern take on horror. Involving the actual dangers of the dark web and the use of technology and turning it into a horror was a magnificent idea. It definitely had me at the edge of my seat.

Due to another film type that is not often explored (thus being that most of the movie is equal to what it would be like to look at your computer and video chat), it makes it different and therefore more compelling than the usual videography styles.
