Series Masterlist

Unfortunately, Tyler had been right about how the events of that night would affect you.

Scott got you checked into the hospital and they managed to remove all the remaining glass from your aching body. They also ran a CT scan on your head to make sure you hadn’t done more damage when you hit it than you thought. It came back as a mild concussion, but they wanted to keep you overnight for observation just to be safe. They also put you on an IV since you were slightly dehydrated (probably from all the tears you’d shed that night).

As you settled into your temporary accommodations, you told Scott he could go back to the motel and pick you up tomorrow. There was no reason he should hang out here all night when he already rented a room with a somewhat comfortable bed before all of this happened. He didn’t respond either way, just sunk down lower in the chair he was sitting in. 

Taking that as him intending to stay, you rolled over and tried to get comfortable in the lumpy hospital bed. You stared at the empty space beside you where Tyler usually lay and you reached out, as if touching that spot would somehow make him appear. But of course, he didn’t. He was back picking up the pieces of your budding relationship in what was left of your shattered motel room.

You try to bury your head in your pillow so Scott doesn’t see the tears forming in your eyes, but you can’t hold back a loud sniffle as you think about all that you lost tonight. Scott must have heard it because he rose from his chair and ducked out of the room. You didn’t blame him. After all, he’d never been good with emotions—expressing them or dealing with them—and you were only just starting to reestablish your relationship so he had to be uncomfortable.

Ten minutes later, however, Scott walked back into the room. Coming up to your bed, he thrust his hand out. “Here.”

You blinked in surprise at the teddy bear he held out to you. It was about a foot tall with brown fur. There was a bandaid on its head next to its ear, its arm was in a sling, and one of its legs was wrapped in bandages. Scrawled across its tummy in childlike writing was the phrase “Get Well Soon”. 

Taking it from him with trembling hands, you asked, “Wh-where did you…?”

He shrugged. “The gift shop. I thought you might want something to keep you company while you sleep.”

“I love it, Scotty. Thank you.” You squeeze the bear tightly to your chest. Smiling up at your brother, you said, “I’m gonna call him Bill.”

Scott’s brow furrowed. “Why Bill?”

You shrugged, holding out your new friend to look at him. “I don’t know. He just looks like a Bill.”

Scott sighed as he shook his head, but you caught a glimpse of a small smile on his lips as he walked back to the chair he had been sitting in earlier and flopped back down. He pulled the bill of his baseball hat down so it covered his face as he sunk deeper into his seat. 

Picking at Bill’s bandage, you asked softly, “So, you’ll be here all night? Like if I…if I need something?”

“Yeah,” Scott said from under his hat. “I won’t leave you alone.”

Nodding in gratitude, you whispered, “Thank you, Scotty. For everything.”

With one finger—in an act that reminded you so much of Tyler—he pushed the bill of his hat up enough so he could see you. “I’m just glad you’re okay. I would never have forgiven myself if something had happened to you and that last conversation we had was the last time I ever got to talk to you.”

“I’m glad we’ve gotten to talk more and work everything out.”

“Me too.” Scott's smile widened. Then he pulled his hat back down over his face. “Now, try to get some sleep. You’ve got a plane to catch tomorrow.”

Rolling back over, you tucked Bill under your arm and hugged him tight to your chest. As you began to drift off, you wondered if Tyler was lying down to sleep yet, and—if he was—if he was thinking of you too.

You're back in that motel room. All the lights are out and you are standing by the bed in that merch shirt and your underwear. Looking around, you realize that you’re alone. Tyler isn’t anywhere to be seen. 

You take a single step forward and the entire room explodes. The window in front of you shatters into millions of tiny dagger-like pieces of glass which drive into you, pinning you to the floor. Your head slams into the bed and you feel a river of blood flowing into your hair and pooling around you. The wind seems to have come alive as it growls and roars at you, clawing at your legs and trying to drag you through the now gaping hole in the wall. You scream out for Tyler, for Scotty, for anyone who might save you but there is no one. As the blood continues to gush from your head, the pool rises, spilling into your mouth and drowning you. You gasp for air which is stolen by the storm and—

“We can’t snap her out of it, she’s not coming to.”

“All this screaming is going to terrify the other patients.”

“She’s thrashing around too much, she’s going to pull out her IV.”

“We need to sedate her.”

“Wh-what’s going on? What’s wrong with her? Is she okay?”

Even through the terror flooding your system, you recognized that last voice as your brother’s. But before you could open your eyes or try to reach him, you felt a small prick on your arm and you were pulled down into a dark, dreamless unconsciousness.

When you slowly woke up again, you noticed sunlight streaming through the half-opened blinds. Your throat was even sorer than you remembered when you fell asleep and it felt bone dry. Reaching blindly next to you for a glass of water, you felt hands gently take yours and lay it back on the bed.

“Hey,” Scott said softly, stepping into your field of vision. “Just rest. Do you need something?”

“Water,” you croaked out, your tongue running over your chapped lips. 

Scott disappeared for a moment then reappeared with a plastic cup. You tried to take it from him only to finally realize your hand felt heavy and sluggish when you tried to move it—as did the rest of your body. Scott must have noticed because he lifted your head and helped you drink. After you had chugged most of the cup (spilling a lot of it down the front of your hospital gown), you felt a little better. 

Clearing your throat, you asked, “What happened?”

“You had a nightmare last night.” Scott settled back into a chair he must have dragged up next to the bed. “They couldn’t wake you up and were afraid you’d hurt yourself so they sedated you.”

“Oh.”

“Do you remember any of that?”

“Now that you mention it, yeah.” You shuddered slightly as you recalled your nightmare. “I guess Tyler was right about how what happened might have affected me.” 

“I’m sorry.” Scott reached out and took your hand. Something caught his eye and he grabbed it off the floor with his free hand. Gently, he placed Bill on the bed next to you. “Guess he didn’t do such a good job watching over you.” 

Grabbing the bear, you hugged it tightly. “He did his best. Sometimes, there’s only so much you can do to protect someone.” Tears began to fill your eyes. “And sometimes, protecting someone means making painful decisions. But even then, it might not be enough.” 

Scott scoffed softly. “Something tells me you’re not talking about Bill anymore.”

You shook your head. “Tyler tried so hard to keep me safe. He even sent me away despite it breaking both our hearts to do it. But it didn’t matter. I left like he wanted but the storm still followed me. Now I’m afraid I’ll never be rid of it and I gave up someone I loved for nothing.”

Scott shifted in his chair, clearly uncomfortable with you once again admitting you were in love with Tyler, but he resisted his usual urge to insult him, instead calmly saying, “We all knew this wasn’t going to be an overnight process. Owens told you to leave because he didn’t want you to have to face the possibility of encountering another storm. But that was never going to fix the damage done to you by the first one. I don’t know what it’ll take to heal that, but I do know I’m not turning my back on you again. Whatever you need, I’ll be there to help you through it.”

The tears that had formed in your eyes began streaming down your face. You opened your arms, fully expecting him to not take the invitation. But to your utter surprise, Scott leaned forward and wrapped you in a—slightly awkward—embrace. 

With his head next to yours, you whispered your deepest fears to your brother, “What if I can’t move past this? What if what happened last night is just my new normal for the rest of my life? And what if…what if Tyler realizes he doesn’t really love me or want to deal with all this new baggage I have?” 

Scott flinched at your admitted fears. Hesitating for a moment, he finally admitted, “I don’t know the answer to those questions. I think you need to find someone to talk to, like a therapist. I have some friends who might know someone who specializes in stuff like this and I’ll make some calls. As for Owens, if he can’t see what an amazing woman you are, baggage or no, then I was right all along about him. But…” He sighed in a way that made it seem like whatever came next pained him to say, “He seems to really care about you and, from what I saw last night, he didn’t want you to leave any more than you wanted to leave. So, I don’t think you have to worry about him not reaching out once the season’s over. And if he doesn’t, I can always run him over with Scarecrow.”

You laughed even as your snot and tears stained Scott’s shirt. “Would that be more for my honor or just because you’ve wanted to do that for so long anyway?”

“Can’t it be both?”

You laughed again and you felt as the last remaining bit of your nightmare still clinging to you faded into oblivion. However, you knew it’d be back. Last night was just a taste of what you should expect moving forward. 

You were discharged from the hospital later that day with a bottle of sleeping pills and your promise to find a therapist to help you deal with your nightmares. Once you left, Scott drove you to the airport as promised. He sat with you until it was time to go through security. Then, you gave your brother the biggest hug you could manage and said goodbye. You would think with all the goodbyes you had to say the last two days you would have gotten used to them. But as you turned one final time to look at him before you passed through the security doors, tears filled your eyes once more. 

You had found or rediscovered two families on this trip only to once again be left all alone.

The flight home was uneventful. You had called ahead and explained everything to your best friend so she was waiting to take you to your apartment as soon as you walked out of the terminal. Despite your objections, she insisted on staying with you for the first couple of nights after hearing about your hospital freakout. But you didn’t want her to see you like that, to know how bad things really were. So, you tried your best to stay awake the entire time she was there (and luckily the one time you did doze off, you were so exhausted you didn’t dream at all). So, she left two days later, confident that you would be alright on your own.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Even safely back in your own apartment, far from the rolling plains and open skies of Oklahoma, the events of that night continued to haunt you. Anytime the wind picked up outside or you heard a police or fire siren go off, you flashed back to that motel room and devolved into a full-blown panic attack. And every night you woke up multiple times, gasping for breath and terrifiedly retreating from any window in your apartment. At least when the storm had actually hit, you had Tyler there to comfort you. Now, you were alone.

One night after a particularly bad attack, you managed to roll out of bed and crawl into your closet. There, curled in a ball on the floor, you sobbed and shook as that night replayed in your mind. But then, you heard a voice whispering “Shhh… sweetheart, it’s over now. We’re okay, we’re okay. We made it.” 

Your head shot up and you looked around the dark space. “Tyler?”

But of course, he wasn’t there. It was just part of the memory. Yet as you laid back down on the floor, it wasn’t the howling of the wind roaring in your ears or pulling at your clothes, it was Tyler’s voice repeating those words over and over again that you heard and you felt his fingers caressing your skin as he tried to soothe you. In minutes, you had drifted off to sleep.

After that, you spent most nights curled in the bottom of your closet. You cleaned out the shoes and boxes scattered across the floor, laid a few blankets down, tossed in a pillow, and placed Bill on top so he was waiting for you. It wasn’t the most comfortable of arrangements, but being in the closet helped ease some of the terror from your dreams, so it would do. 

Scott had an old friend from MIT whose sister was now one of the country’s top PTSD therapists so, true to his word, he made a call to get you an appointment. It felt a little strange being labeled as having PTSD, but then again, you couldn’t think of any other way to describe what you were dealing with. 

It took more than a few visits, but eventually, your work with the therapist seemed to be paying off. You still had the nightmares but they became a few times a week occurrence instead of an every night thing. And even when you did have one, you could usually manage to calm yourself down and go back to sleep shortly after (though you were still sleeping in your closet most nights just to be on the safe side). 

You called Scott after every appointment to let him know how it went. Since you had gotten home, you talked to your brother at least once a day, usually just to check in and see how you were doing. Things still weren’t perfect between the two of you, but they were better than they had been in years. In fact, your relationship was probably better than it had ever been. Scott was still his usual no-nonsense, unemotional, snarky self, but there was a softness in his tone that hadn’t been there before. And you even made him laugh on occasion.

He never mentioned Tyler and you never asked. 

A few times a week, you received texts or emails from the Wranglers, usually sending you a funny video or asking how you were. You missed your little found family so much and it was a relief to see you weren’t the only one. Part of you thought they might not give you a second thought once you left, but it was clear they missed you as much as you missed them. 

They never mentioned Tyler and you never asked.

You still couldn’t bring yourself to watch any of their YouTube videos, old or new. Once you had gotten deeper into your therapy though, your therapist encouraged you to. She said it would help tackle some of your fears of the storms by experiencing one, but all from the complete safety of your apartment. It was sound advice…if that was your issue with the videos.

You didn’t tell her it wasn’t that you couldn’t face the storm, it was that you couldn’t bear to see or hear Tyler in the videos. Even seeing his picture on one of the thumbnails had made your heart ache and tears well up in your eyes before you slammed the laptop shut.

Part of you felt stupid about how much you missed him. After all, he had only been in your life for three weeks. Yet you had known from your first kiss that you never wanted anyone else. In your mind, Tyler was it for you and to have him ripped away so suddenly was devastating. You knew if you watched those videos, they would just remind you of riding beside him in that perfect bubble you had lived in for those few weeks. When the world was perfect and nothing could go wrong. How naive you had been.

But as much as the pain of saying goodbye was on your mind, worse was the constant fear that you shared with Scott in the hospital. That the distance would make Tyler realize he didn’t want you and you would be left sitting by the phone for a call that would never come. And seeing Ty, hearing his voice as he did the thing he loved most in this world, would make that eventual rejection hurt all the more. If you maintained your clean break, then if things were truly over, you didn’t have to start the healing process all over again once it became clear you’d never hear from Tyler again.

Or that’s what you told yourself. 

Thirty-six days after you left Oklahoma, you were cleaning up after dinner when your phone rang. Figuring it was Scott calling for his nightly check-in, you paused your music and snatched your phone off the counter. 

Your world stopped as you saw the contact photo staring back at you. 

It was the first time you had seen his face since the thumbnail incident and he was every bit as handsome as in your memories. Pressing the answer button, you raised your trembling hand to your ear, still not believing it was really him.

“Hello?” you whispered, voice quivering as you held your breath.

There was a slight pause, and then, “Hey, sweetheart. You feeling up for a visitor?”

You let out a shaky breath of relief, as the sound of his voice washes over you. “Fuck yeah, I am,” you said, tears streaming down your beaming face. “I’ve been waiting for your sorry ass to call since the moment I left. How soon can you be here?”

He chuckled, the sound sending a warm glow spreading through your body. “I was hoping you’d say that.”

Your phone slipped from your fingers and your head shot up as there was a loud knock at your door.

Tripping over your own feet as you scrambled towards the door, you flung it open without pausing to confirm who was on the other side. 

And there he was.

Whether it was true or just the fact you had gone so long without seeing him, Tyler had never looked more handsome. With his hair freshly trimmed, just a faint hint of stubble lining his cheeks, and wearing a fresh pair of jeans with a new button-down green shirt that highlighted his eyes, he was breathtaking. But what really made you weak in the knees was the dimpled grin he gave you as his eyes lit up upon seeing you.

“There’s my girl.”

You launched yourself into his arms, tears streaming down your face as your lips found his. You heard his hat and phone clatter to the ground where he had been holding them, but you didn’t care. His hands settled on your waist—you had forgotten how large and strong they were—and he pulled you flush against his body. You gasped into his mouth at the sudden movement and he rocked gently against your hips. 

He still smelled like the moment before a rainstorm, fresh and earthy, but he had also put on some cologne for the occasion. It was only then that you realized while he had gotten all fancy for his visit, you were currently in a pair of ratty sweatpants and a tank top stained by tonight’s spaghetti sauce. And that wasn’t even mentioning the state of your hair or your lack of makeup.

Peeling your mouth away from his, you muttered, “You should have told me you were coming. I’m a complete mess.”

But Tyler shook his head, one hand sliding up your body until it cupped the base of your neck. “No, you’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” And he kissed you again.

This time it was needier, hungrier, and it reminded you of your kiss the first night you invited him into your room. But if things were headed in that same direction….

“Ty,” you moaned against his lips, your bare toes curling on the concrete as a jolt of pleasure went through your core. “Not here. We can’t do this in the hall.”

Reluctantly, he pulled away, his green eyes dark and his lips swollen. “I’m sorry,” he panted. “I, uh, I let things get away from me for a moment.”

“It’s okay,” you smiled at him, still amazed he was standing before you even as you still tasted him on your tongue. Grabbing his hand, you cried, “God, I’ve missed you so much.” 

“I missed you too, sweetheart.” He smiled back then grabbed his phone and hat off the floor. You chuckled softly as you noticed his call to your phone was still active just before he ended it. 

As he grabbed his things, you quickly reentered your apartment and tried to do a five-second cleaning job: flinging dirty clothes into your bedroom, tossing old take-out boxes into the pantry, stuffing your vibrator deep into the couch cushions. You whirled around just in time to see Tyler walking through the door with his hat and duffle bag in hand.

He looked around the small apartment and let out a whistle. “Nice place. It feels very…you.”

“Thanks, I guess.” You walked over and took his hand. “I can’t believe you’re here! How did you even know where to find me?”

Tyler grinned. “Your brother. He gave me your address before Storm PAR left for the season.”

Your jaw dropped open. “He knew? I talk to that dickhead every day and he didn’t tell me! Oh, the next time I talk to him, he’s getting a fucking earful.”

Tyler laughed as he trailed his knuckles across your jawline. “It’s called a surprise, sweetheart.” But then the light dimmed slightly in his eyes and his tone became slightly more serious. “And I wanted to make sure he thought you’d want to see me. I didn’t want to just show up only to find out you decided it was better to cut all ties with everything that happened, including me.”

You shook your head. “Never. I’ve missed you every fucking day since I left, Tyler Owens, and sometimes, the hope of having this moment was all that kept me going.”

“How’ve you been? I didn’t want to invade your privacy by asking Scott and he never offered any information so…” He shrugged, not knowing how to end the thought.

You hesitated for a moment as you tried to find your own words. “I’m…okay. You were right and I’ve struggled with what happened. They say I have PTSD, but I’ve got a really great therapist and I’m making progress. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m getting through it.”

“That’s my girl,” Tyler whispered. He brushed a stray piece of hair off your face. “I’m just so sorry any of this happened. And I’m so sorry I couldn’t—”

“No,” you cut him off. “I told you before, Ty, I’m only alive because of what you did. So you’re not allowed to blame yourself for anything that happened. Okay?”

“Okay.”

He started to say something else, but it was just off by a large yawn. Suddenly realizing your manners (you didn’t have the same instinctual courtesy as Tyler did apparently), you took his hand and led him to the couch. “Oh god, I’m such a bad host. Do you want anything to eat or drink? I’ve still got a little spaghetti leftover from dinner or we can order something.”

Tyler smiled as he allowed you to drag him across the room. “No thanks, sweetheart. I grabbed something at the airport.”

You stopped. “Wait, you came straight from the airport?”

“Yeah, so?”

“No wonder you seemed tired! Do you want to lay down? Or take a shower or something? And—” Another sobering thought just occurred to you. “A-and how long are you planning on staying?”

Tyler squeezed your hand. “I can leave whenever you want me to but I have about a month before I have to be back to Arkansas. Everything else I can do from here or by talking with the crew.”

“A month?” Your heart fluttered in your chest. “I get you for a whole month?”

“Or until you’re sick of me.”

“Not gonna happen.” You pulled Tyler down for another kiss.

When you parted, Tyler sighed, “Now that you mentioned it though, I do think I’d like to take a shower if that’s alright. It’s been a long day.”

“Yeah, of course.” You tucked into the other room and grabbed a towel. Then you flipped on the light in the bathroom. “Soaps in the shower and if you need anything else, just call.”

“Thanks, sweetheart.” He kissed you on the forehead then ducked into the bathroom. “I’ll just be a minute.”

When he went to take a shower and wash off all his travel funk, you settled onto the couch. You quickly shot Scott a strongly worded text about him keeping this from you…but then added a thank you at the end for helping Tyler get to you.

Since the shower was still on, you pulled up the Wrangler’s YouTube channel on your iPad to watch a few of the videos you missed. It’s great seeing the whole crew again, but you noticed there was a significant change in their demeanor. They weren’t as energetic or wild as usual, especially Tyler. He was still putting on a show, but you could tell it was forced. 

Surprisingly, seeing the storm didn’t bother you in the slightest. Maybe it was the fact you always felt safe within Tyler’s truck. Or maybe it was because it was just a video and you knew it couldn’t hurt you. Or maybe it was just because Tyler was in the other room and you knew you were safe. But at least that was one goal marked off your therapy list.

As the video began to wind down, you began scrolling for another to click on when you heard Tyler giving his send-off. “As always, if you feel it, chase it! And, sweetheart—” Your eyes grew wide and you quickly scrolled to the top of the screen to see Tyler staring deeply into the camera, as if he were staring into your soul “—if you’re watching this, I love you. And I miss you so damn much.” He blew a kiss to the screen and the video ended. 

Stunned, you stared at the frozen image of the man you loved, his lips still puckered in his kiss for you. Quickly, you clicked on the next video and jumped to the very end. Tyler was saying something about getting a stronger balloon string next time, then he smiled at the camera and added, “Whether you ever see this or not, I love you, sweetheart. I hope you’re doing okay.”

You quickly clicked on the next one and skipped to the end. Tyler stood outside the truck with his hands on his hips, staring up at the now clear blue sky. Wiping the back of his hand across his eyes, he sighed and choked out, “Goddamn, you would have loved this one, sweetheart. Chases like this just aren’t the same without you next to me. I love you.”

You go through almost every video the Wranglers posted since you left. Even and every one of them ended with some variation of Tyler saying he loved you. With your heart nearly bursting, you played the last video, the one they posted yesterday as their final chase of the season. It showed Tyler grinning into the camera so wide his dimples were on clear display as he said, “I love you, sweetheart, and it’s finally time I chased ya. See you soon, my brave, beautiful girl.”

The iPad tumbled to the floor. All this time you had been so afraid Tyler wouldn’t come that you had avoided his videos. Yet, if you had just trusted him to keep his word, you would have known from day one not to doubt him or his feelings towards you. 

Standing, you stepped over the iPad and walked over to the bathroom. You heard the shower still running but you didn’t even knock before you turned the handle and went in. Tyler was rubbing soap all over his defined chest as you pulled the curtain back. He froze, not seemingly bothered by your intrusion, just confused.

He gave you a moment to explain what was happening, but when you didn’t speak, he asked,  “Hey, is everything okay?”

Without removing your clothes, you stepped into the shower. As water poured over your head, soaking you and weighing down your clothes, you placed your hands on either side of Tyler’s face. 

As he stared at you, concern etched on his face, you whispered, “I love you, too, Ty. And even if we have to do long distance for a while or make some big life decisions moving forward, I’m all in. For as long as you’ll have me.”

Tyler’s face softened and he tilted his face to kiss your palm. Then, he slid his arms around you, drawing you into his bare, soapy chest. Your arms wrapped around him as you rested your cheek against his tattoo while he stroked the nearly identical one on your back. And as he kissed the top of your head, he murmured, “Well, you better get comfortable, sweetheart. Because I’m never letting you go again.”

The two of you stood there embraced in each other’s arms underneath the spray until the water grew cold. And even then, you only separated long enough to strip off your clothes, both dry off, and for you to lead him into the bedroom. There, you lay on the bed facing each other and snuggled tightly together. There would be time for more rigorous and exciting bedroom activities later. Right now, you just savored the sound of his heartbeat and the warmth of his skin. 

You had gone to Oklahoma to find your brother. When that went south, you had sought out revenge. But it turned out you found something sweeter—you found the love of your life. 

And now, you intended to spend the rest of your life in his arms. 

Thank you to everyone who has read, reblogged, and commented throughout this series.

Tyler Hernandez as defective clone captain CT-2283

[stawpny]

hey

I know I haven’t like posted but that was cause I was in DC

it’s really cool

but anyways, have some NY headcannons I thought of while driving 8 hours there and back

(my drama club cast list is coming out tomorrow AHHH [we are doing mean girls])

-

-New York has got the best fashion style out of anyone in the statehouse, buuuuuttt since this years fashion week was.. something, he has been downgraded to the second best. Cal’s the first now, ever since whatever the fuck that was happened.

-Punk NY x Hippie CA is something I need injected into my VEINS. I feel like they would be so cute together anddd the fan art would be delicious bc I would eat it with no hesitation.

-New York has the hand writing of like a fancy founding father. Like one that wrote, “We The People” on top of the constitution, or when he has too much coffee, he has a handwriting of a third grader. (just like me!)

-I imagine that when it gets “hot” here in New York (higher then 80 is too fucking hot for me) he just flops himself anywhere in the NE part of the house and just lays there until someone gets fed up or helps him. (NJ would get fed up, MA would help him)

-he gets frequent headaches so he just carry’s around a small bag of advil or Tylenol, or sometimes keeps it like pocket candy in his pockets like he’s about to give it out to children.

-I feel like he would take care of states (mostly southern) when they were young, along with Georgia and Virginia. The only reason he did so was because Penn claimed he wasn’t “man enough” so he had to do what he also claimed, “women’s work”. (No shade to ppl living in PA)

-I believe that Long Island bullies RI for two reasons, he isn’t an island, and LI is bigger than RI. LI always says that he should be a state instead and Rhode should just merge with MA or CT. (this is true, as a Long islander myself)

-I know NY is bigger than like many states in the NE, but I like the idea of him being the same height as MA or a little shorter. New Jersey would be shorter, same with RI and CT, but I feel like they would be the same height. (ma and ny)

-MA, CT, NY, and NJ have some maaajor beef with PA.

-New Yorks room is filled with a bunch of posters. Posters of Lana Del Rey, TS, Laufey, Tyler The Creator, Steve Lacy, and others are put up, but he puts more “manly” posters up to distract from the fact he literally has a huge ass Taylor Swift, 1989 poster in his room, above his bed. He has all the eras, but how could he not have a huge poster of 1989 when she wrote a song about his city, like, come on! (my fav album)

- CA x NY= Golden Cat x Black Cat (I keep seeing TikTok slideshows of the two cats and it always makes me think of them)

soooo

I had a loooong weekend of hiking around DC

it was fun though

I liked seeing all of the state flags and whateva

anyways, i hope u liked these

Tyler being adorable in general here

[quite-right-too]

Prompt: “ Time. It’s the only thing you can never get back.”

Time. It's the only thing you can never get back.

His head pounded as the Doctor gripped his hair, face pinched in immense pain as golden tendrils in his consciousness were pulled taut. His body was hunched over itself, barely able to stay sitting up, as he sat on the couch next to Rose.

She tried to help him the best she could, but they only knew so much about how the human-Time Lord metacrisis had affected him. This was not something either of them could have expected.

The white hot pained zipped through him, painful memories from the Time Lord Doctor pushing through not only space and time, but dimensions as well.

Once upon a time there were people in charge of those laws, but they died. They all died.

He couldn't breathe. His lungs weren't able to pull in oxygen fast enough as he fought the spasming in his diaphragm. He began to tear at his shirt, hands shaking as he struggled to remove the constricting article of clothing from his body. Buttons flew to the floor as he finally succeeded in getting the scratchy fabric off his chest.

The Laws of Time are mine, and they will obey me!

"Oh my god, Doctor!"

Rose's words echoed through his head, yet still sounded so far away.

We're fighting time itself. And I'm going to win! 

"Rose-" he rasped, hand blindly reaching for hers. "Rose I-"

Her hand grabbed his, squeezing with all her might.

"It's gonna be okay. It'll be okay. You're going to be okay, Doctor."

 I'm the winner. That's who I am. The Time Lord Victorious. 

He coughed, blood spitting out onto the floor. "Rose, I can't breathe."

His single, human heart began to race. His chest was burning and he felt like his ribcage was being split in two. This wasn't a simple human illness or injury.

This was much more sinister than that.

I could do so much more. So much more!

"Pete, please. Somethin's wrong with the Doctor. He can't breathe. There's blood and-"

He could barely register the panic in Rose's voice as he tried to wipe his mouth with the back of his hand. Sticky, red blood smeared along his hand as he began trying desperately to run whatever diagnostics he could run. Human body or not, he still had a Time Lord brain and he intended to use it.

But this is what I get. My reward. And it's not fair!

An ambulance pulled up to their flat, rushing in as the Doctor fell to the floor. Paramedics quickly attached all kinds of leads to him as they loaded him onto the gurney. He was wracked with a fit of coughs, his eyes began to frantically search for Rose, unfocused and afraid.

She had never seen him so human.

2005. Tell you what. I bet you're going to have a really great year. 

Arriving at the hospital, doctors from Torchwood were the first to meet them in the ambulance bay. Reminders of the Doctor's alien existence ran through her head. 'Was this the cause of all this,' she wondered.

"The readings are abnormal, we need to get him to a CT now." The doctors treating her Doctor were plentiful as they did their best to calculate exactly what was happening.

The universe will sing you to your sleep.

"Wait," he groaned, his voice strained from coughing. Rose gripped his hand when he fumbled by the edge of the bed. "Rose, he's-" More bloody coughs. "He's regenerating. I think I'm..." He trailed off as monitors began beeping rapidly.

"No, please!" Rose screamed, refusing to move from his side. "Doctor, please! Don't go!"

This song is ending, but the story never ends.

"My head." The Doctor sobbed as his heart beat impossibly fast, nearly mimicking his previous double heartbeat. "It's killing me."

"I love you," Rose cried as his consciousness began to fade. "Please, Doctor, I love you."

Weakly, he turned his head to look at her. "Rose Tyler-"

The sentence ended there. His face relaxed, pupils blown wide. Official cause of death would be a sudden brain aneurysm. Rose Tyler knew that the real cause was in another universe with another face.

And she was alone again.

I don't want to go. 

Time. It's the only thing you can never get back.

Send me a sentence prompt and I’ll write you a TenRose ficlet!

HI MIRAAA ALSO OMG DW ABT IT I HOPE YOUR MIGRAINES ARE GONE THOUGH???? FEEL BETTERRR I’m pretty sure you mentioned having migraines like a few weeks ago too or something manifesting that they leave you alone for good soon!!! But chronically online time WAHOO!!

Big sigh but I DID SEE THAT OMG your manifestation skills are actually out of this world wtf down to the name kaito and the ct hello WHAT

FRRRR like what are you doing to my boy chigiri…actually you know what’s funny to think about imagine all the merch illustrations are like a model/actor au where they’re going to photoshoots dressing up and taking pics to make into merch they hand chigiri his fit in his dressing room and he’s like wtf is this REAL I imagine chigiri turning on his heels like “why did I even ask”

that’s so funny because the reason I don’t like Tyler is also because I associate with a Tyler I knew but he was definitely not uhhhh eye candy…more like he was one of THOSE league players and giving off “um akshually” vibes but I’m crying well manifesting for your friend LMAO the mere concept of an American au just has me sending the redneck concept is even wilder LMAOOO also LMAOAAO PLEASE I JUST COULDNT THINK OF A BETTER WORD HAHAHAH the whole whiteboard planning would so be them though

REALLLL LMAOOO I almost think it’s kinda like the reo zantetsu dynamic in team z actually wait it’s lowk the exact same vibes except i would still give reader some brains yk but FRRR like that’s exactly what im saying why would comment that like it’s something the author is going to go edit and cater to like hello what reading wild comments is lowkey entertaining like just seeing the insane things people say like you really took the time to comment that out huh um but anyways

LMAOO Tullia the goat fr and oaeu forever remains a masterpiece Oliver getting his redemption arc at the very end will be so fun to read

The sae agenda makes me rip my hair out like damn ok but REAL I love reading your banter in general because it also just really fits the type of banter I’d use irl too (the fwtkac banter is one of my all time favs when reader is like “good maybe your ego will shrink it’s almost the same size as your hair” SOOO FUNNY LMFAOOOO) but also real I feel like we circle to this concept a lot because you get a lot of sequel requests like it’s fine where it ended because there’s not much more of a story to write about besides typical couple activities

I’m crying how does one even come up with that idea like genuinely curious but hey if you see it you see it but go off LMAOAOA I SAW TOO!!! Karasu reverse bfb is so funny I see chigiris sister and Karasu ever now and then on tiktok and some of the meme edits are hilarious

YAY yeah I wasn’t sure if you were gonna throw in Karasu (actually ngl maybe don’t or else I’ll swerve when I read) but I would love a visualization for what Pegasus he’d have…ONE PART very classic Mira activity ok yeah I think 15k might be more accurate then…but OOOOOOH NAGI AIKU AU!!! Wait I’m actually so excited to read that because we theorize and talk about just universe ideas so much too reading it in story form would be really interesting

Sigh x5 KAISER I know you’ll cook with the prompt though!!

LMAOAOAO FR wait if that ever happens I’ll make an email address like that I’m crying it’s too funny and YES we’re staying safe LMAO

LAKSAO the way we’ve both seen that floating around has me laughing I’m glad you know what I mean though (synced up fr) I mean tbf it’s a very niche combo so I guess there’d probably be only one of that in existence though but yeah I scrolled by and was like wait what but you’re actually cooking with that switch up YUKI KARASU BEEF CONTINUES LMAOOOO but anyways oooh true I’m ngl I think my only exposure to love triangles is like…kdramas….maybe tiktok to the rescue LOL lmk if you ever want a brainstorm session though we could try ransacking our brains…

LMAO with your track record watch your nagi monologue/pov just be full on canon nagi pov waittt the score one goal thing defend the rest is actually so good it works perfectly with the set up of the u20 esp with Aiku and the rest of the iron wall of defenders they have but STREAK BROKEN YAY!! CONGRATS!! But preparing myself to read from what you’ve given me I’m very excited

FRRRR that’s also what I’m saying like I see the scenes at first and I’m like LMAO this is so exaggerated it’s funny and it’s like..clearly just done as a joke but people take it as hard canon fact and run and I’m like I’m pretty certain this is also just humor/borderline satire….but whatever…..

TRUE yeah I can imagine there’s a much larger concentration of quality works for AoT which is also why the bllk tags generally have less traction too but yeah never willingly read sae stuff LOL

REAL I was also gonna say like nagi is popular enough but all of his edits are usually just his scenes from the episode with some music slapped over it hello this lowk makes me want to stalk that Kaiser editors account to see if they did anyone else

LMAOO yeah sorry yuki ok I know we talk about his beef in the miraverse in a funny way but it actually just brings me back to the rough and tumble concept and also generally (esp after the ln) the concept of him always having some obstacle in the way of his goals or like that concept of hard work not paying off yk? This was such a bad articulation of it LMAO but I feel like it’s such an interesting dynamic with him of being talented and also hardworking yet he’s always one step away and the frustration that comes with it anyways I hope you get what I’m putting down I don’t even know how to fully describe how it makes me feel I just think it’s interesting and kinda suits him?? I’m gonna stop here because the more I try to explain the worse it gets

Wait I almost forgot imagine Shidou LN next some of his profile info does make me wonder wtf happened in his childhood though like most likely some traumatic event because what

CRYING LMAOO idk if that’s good or bad lowk…that friend experience was insane though talk about plot development

LMAO THATS ACTUAKLY SO SCARY THOUGH I recently sent a friend something and I got the notice that they viewed it and I was like oh…..like idk and my friend didn’t care obv but seeing the mechanic in the flesh was uh…hm…

SO TRUE it’s just pinned to the PxG dorm fridge or planning board

Also yeah I’m realizing that too a lot of the screenshots and posts of the panels I see are from the fan translations and they’re wildly different from the official ones

THAT WAS SO FUNNY LMFOAOAAOAOAOAOAO KARASU ADDITIONAL TIME IM GLAD THEYRE GIVING HIM MORE MOMENTS Bachira having that dream is so funny though like thank you for dreaming that goofy ass Karasu with a beard FR this is the type of additional time content I want I do NOT care about reo tweaking out over nagi cmon

Also omg GENSHIN wait if you actually pick it up will gladly discuss I used to play pretty often but ran out of storage (sigh my devices….) so I haven’t touched it in a bit but I’m still pretty up to date with the current story and characters!!

Ok and THEME CHANGE!!!!! The red and white plus Nagi’s aura >>>>>>>>

- Karasu anon

unfortunately my migraines are as chronic as my online habits DKFHDJ i will probably never escape them…they run on my mother’s side of the family but like only the girls get them?? which is so 😒 but it’s okay i’m mostly good at managing them!! the last bout was kinda just worse than usually but hopefully they calm down for the next round…anyways another late reply because i’ve been grinding on this one shot trying to get it over and done with and i FINALLY did!! going to respond to you + go to dinner and then come back proofread and post 🤩

NO BECAUSE WHEN I SAW THOSE I AUDIBLY GASPED like at this point the multi fandom manifestations are insanely specific now it’s like every mangaka ever just decided to use me as their inspo or smth /j like i don’t think kaito is that common of a name either?? which makes it doubly wild i think i must be a prophet or something

PLEASEEE imagine chigiri just keeps getting typecasted as the gay best friend or whatever in movies so he has to beg for roles that let him show his range (aka he wants to be batman) and then he FINALLY gets to be the flash but then the costume looks ugly with his hair so he either has to dye it or pick a diff role 😭

HELP i also have an opp named tyler and i know for a fact he plays forza which is like on the same level as league to me KDJDJD so we can commiserate on the tyler hating but i’ve known the other tyler for longer so he’s still my default tyler image (??) LMAOOO THE CONCEPT OF AN AMERICAN AU IS SO FUNNY TO ME TOO ngl most modern au fics lowkey end up being lowkey american aus because people don’t really take the time to look at what life in college or high school or whatever in the characters’ country of origin (like japan) would actually be like and just draw on irl experiences?? I’M GUILTY OF IT TOO IN LESS SERIOUS STORIES FKDHDBS like in otoya’s bfb they have the super long american summer break which they don’t really get in japan…in karasu’s bfb though i did make sure to get the dates and stuff more accurate ☝🏻 anyways wait this actually reminds me that peregrine has an entire america ARC FJFJDJ i’m such a patriot as you can tell

REO AND ZANTETSU DYNAMIC MY BELOVED that would actually be so funny actually wait not to swerve (mira swerving AWAY from nagi…historical moment right here) but ykw would also be fun is if you have something like reader and reo’s relationship in peregrine and have the two of them switch lives FKFJDJ like first of all just imagining peregrine reader’s snobby ass in reo’s body is a trip but also dare i say they would actually benefit from it even more than freaky friday karasu and reader did…like reader sees the pressure reo’s under and how he’s actually a sweet genuine guy who’s not stuck up and fake + reo seeing that reader’s parents genuinely suck and why she’s genuinely averse to being friends with him…

LOWKEY I DO ENJOY THE WILD COMMENTS SOMETIMES they also occasionally annoy me but it really depends on the nature of the comment 🤔 most of the time it’s one of those things where i’m like “wtf” in the moment but then talking about them afterwards i always end up laughing

TULLIA MY GOAT 🥹 she’s based on my best friend in real life so she’s always going to be special to me HAHA but also speaking of aiku i am feeling SO fond of him rn omg like that one shot i just finished has made me an aiku stan i think…still not really fully romantically but he is so cute in a “he’s my best friend” way

THE SAE AGENDA IS SOOO STRONG LMAOAOA but yeah i love writing banter so much!! the fwtkac banter especially in the first part before they’re together/have the fight about yukimiya is so peak like they’re just so sassy and silly with one another…and yeah i get a lot of sequel requests and i’m always like 😔 because I DON’T KNOWWWW WHAT TO WRITE and literally the one time i was like “i can write a sequel if you guys want 🙂‍↕���” with the kiyora fic nobody asked for one 😭 it’s okay though actually the only reason i would ever write a seabird sequel would be so that i could write the days leading up to their wedding SOLELY so sae can mention to reader “yeah rin’s gone to america to meet this girl who stayed with us when he was 19” and reader’s like “oh it’s so sweet that they stayed in touch and planned that!!” because she thinks rin is like sae and actually bagged cherry tree reader before she left japan but then sae’s like “LMAO They Didn’t 🤣” and reader’s just like “hello??” and sae’s like “yeah idk man he’s kind of a freak” and reader’s like “oh word” and they just move on

LMAOO to be fair people must think that about most of my ideas so hey if that’s what they think is fun then more power to them!! and YEAH the karasu + chigiri’s sister memes are always hilarious i bet chigiri would fr crash out if he had to have karasu as a brother in law though 😭😭😭

KDJDJS NO LITERALLY i was like “no i can’t put karasu in here i’ll crumble” ngl reo originally had a bigger role and rin was also super important in the story but then i began to swerve to RIN which is crazy but anyways so then reo’s role was lessened and rin was cut completely and replaced with a blend of ego, anri, and probably bachira

YESS NAGI AIKU AU wait you mentioned it again in a diff paragraph but i’m going to talk about it here for continuity’s sake and whatnot anyways um so remember how i was like “i’m going to keep this short so it doesn’t end up being 30k words and i can expand on it later” well…i did my best to keep it short and cut some of the things i was planning on including. and ykw?? IT’S STILL ALMOST 22K WORDS 😭😭😭😭😭😭 i had sooo much fun writing it!! i’m really excited for you and the five other people interested in it to read FSJJS trying to do nagi’s pov was def really tough but eh i came up with smth 🤔 now is ANYBODY in character?? probably not. did i have to absolutely glaze shidou and aiku at various points in the story?? 100%. BUT it was really cool to write from a canon character’s pov and in such a canon-adjacent au so i’m still proud of what i ended up coming up with (if that makes sense) anyways like i said i’m going out for a dinner so it’ll probably be a couple of hours before i post it but once i do i can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it :3

love triangles are sooo common in ya novels and also in manhwas and they’re annoying every time because you really have to do them well so it’s def a challenge 😭 but i will figure it out trust and yes worst comes to worse there’s always tik tok audios to inspire me…no but literally karasu and kunigami is super niche i feel like indie having them as a duo 😭 not to mention yukimiya and hiori people are going to think i just have an obsession with rare pairs (which tbf i do like them more than normal pairs but that’s a separate thing)

yeah i’ve always thought additional times and like adjacent things to that in other animes are meant to poke fun at characters by overly exaggerating them?? not give additional characterization to them if that makes sense LMAOAOA oh well the humor will remain as such for us two at least 😭🙏🏻

yup just because of aot being sm older and more popular there is SO much stuff for it KFJDDJN i always say there are a lot of crazy fans but the fans that lock in truly LOCK IN because some of those fanarts and edits deserve to be in museums i’ve literally never been in a fandom that does fan work the way the aot fandom does

people don’t put their SOULS into editing nagi i think part of it is that he has the largest quantity of hype animated scenes (followed by rin) so it’s really easy to throw a bunch of clips together whereas less popular characters require more effort to edit…and then rin is just so many people’s favs that there’s always someone around to put out smth astounding for him

no yeah i get you exactly like the way he does everything and tries his hardest but he always ends up one step short?? it’s kind of like reverse karasu if you think abt it where karasu kinda thinks he’s mid but he’s usually able to pull through in the end whereas yuki believes and tries so much but he can’t quite get it 🤔 NOT THE ONE SIDED BEEF BECOMING TWO SIDED okay wait actually speaking of rough and tumble yukimiya he definitely wouldn’t get along with karasu i think he would find him kinda pretentious or smth idk i see him being a) comfortable?? ish?? with shidou in the sense that shidou probably reminds him of the people he grew up alongside so he’s very familiar which in turn is kind of a source of comfort and b) getting along with like kiyora who’s also very blunt and honest (another potential bastard munchen team up??)

the only reason i think it won’t be shidou is because i think his backstory is going to be something that they will make a main event in the manga?? so they’ll wait to release his ln until after that happens…i could see a sae + shidou + aiku ln release in the future once we know more about sae and shidou from the manga

no literally it was the most insane friendship ever KDFJSJN i’m just glad it’s over now 😭 and yeah even if you have it turned off you still get the notifications from other people when they view videos you sent them which is truly…interesting…

yeah it’s def a product of how popular leaks and stuff are nowadays the fan translations become popular when the officials are completely different sometimes even to the point that the lines mean smth completely different??

THIS WAS PROBABLY MY FAV ADDITIONAL TIME YET LMAOAOA professor karasu is actually my number one gilf now #speakingmytruth he’s still fine SORRY NOT SORRY!! also otoya in a suit was kinda serving cunt um anyways AND THE RANDOM LIFE LESSON KARASU GAVE REO?? that was somehow so fwtkac part three karasu / oaeu aiku of him 😭 bachira truly a blessing for his crazy dreams this is the content we as a fandom needed

YUP i saw an image of alhaitham and i was like wait who is this fine man…which are we even surprised 😭 like he’s supposedly tall smart nonchalant and has fluffy light hair he’s actually exactly my type 😩 i have it downloaded on my phone but i haven’t started playing yet because i’ve been grinding on writing i’ll probably start soon though!! i will def discuss with you hehe i’m glad you’re into it too so you’ll still be around if i enter a bit of a genshin era

YUP new theme!! hehe i think the red and white is so pretty too!! ironically it’s also the exact opposite of the black and sea green from earlier if you think about it…anyways this is the closest to festive i’ll get with the red and white being kinda christmassy ig?? also nagi’s death aura YUP it’s my fav i think it’s just sooo cool looking and fits him super well plus it looks amazing as part of the theme especially with the art i used in my pinned (at least in my opinion HAHA)

Delgato's Ted Talk About Rhett's Scar (That Nobody Asked For)

Hi, I'm trying to distract myself from the fact that I accidentally inhaled too much smoke while having a bonfire. So I'm here to try and convince you that ✨Rhett's scar is a bull riding injury✨

As a disclaimer, this is just for funsies and not meant to be taken seriously 💃

Please do not read any further if you are sensitive to images of scars!

The only time we get a glimpse of this scar is in Episode 1. It's faint, but if you zoom in:

You can see that it's white and it's in the loose shape of a 'T.'

Age:

Because the scar is white, we can assume that this is an older scar that has had time to fully heal (see here for more information on scar types and colors!). According to this website, a scar can take up to two years to heal. So we know that it's an older scar, and in the first minute of the bar scene of episode 1, Rhett mentions that he's spent the last 10 years chasing this. "This" meaning placing first in the Rodeo Finals.

No newer than roughly a year or two (give or take), but no older than ten years.

Similar scars:

In March 2019, Marcy de Luna published the article "Cowboy scars and the stories behind them" on the CT Post website. It includes several photos:

First, we see a scar from a bull rider by the name of Tyler. Somewhat close to where Rhett's scar is, but it's much thicker and not quite in the same spot.

Then we meet Luke, a steer wrestler with a scar that sits very close to where Rhett's does. Both are thin, and you can see where Luke's is turning white at the top.

The Vest:

We see here that Rhett wears a Phoenix brand bull riding vest (likely this one).

These vests are worn for two main reasons. Protect the torso from injury and absorb and dissipate the shock that can come from an unexpected blow.

However, this vest has a bit of a gap around the same place where Rhett's scar sits. Both the vest and the scar have a bit of a curve to them; perhaps it's due to the vest that the scar isn't completely straight?

A useless conclusion:

We circle back from these three points, all for me to say that this scar, likely an afterthought by the SFX makeup artist, is from the horns of a bull. It's shaped the way it is because of his vest, and it's likely an injury that he's had for a while.

Also: he probably grins like an idiot when you give it a kiss. And I have no evidence to support this, but I like to think that he's got a scar on his ass too.

Thank you and goodnight 💃

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 ⸻ @traumadriven tyler brendan & john frost

❛ hey umm - doctor brendan? ❜ he approaches tyler awkwardly, unsure how he is going to tell him who was in treatment four. his patients mother, elyse was a nurse in the emergency room; but was in atlanta after being asked to attend a trauma nurse conference. aubrey, her daughter was staying with tyler. it was no secret that elyse and him were an item. he found that out quickly ( and awkwardly. )

rip it off like a band aid . . . that was the best way to do it. ❛ so, aubrey, elyse's daughter actually came in while you were in the operating room with your MVC patient. onset symptoms fever and abdominal pain. I haven't ruled out appendicitis, but her ultrasound came back inconclusive. so I would like to order a CT of her belly. i know she is staying with you right now, has she been feeling okay lately? ❜

[rxin3akamallory]

Wait what?? I never posted these here!?

Well I am now!

My CC/CT OCs with their own posters!!

So I already posted a couple drawings with Liam, but just to refresh ya, Liam is Ben’s little brother and a self proclaimed “ocean nerd”, hoping to one day become a marine biologist. Darius sees a lot of himself in Liam, they’re both dorky and withdrawn.

Then there’s Zoey, the neurotic and cautious one, eerily similar to Season 1 Ben. Unlike Ben, Zoey hasn’t gone through a comply 180 with her character and is still very much cautious about a lot of things, but it starts to decrease in extreme mess overtime. Her over analyzing actually helped her friends get out of situations, so they’re not completely ungrateful.

Hannah is definitely the Kenji of the group. The light amongst the darkness of their circumstances. Like Kenji from earlier seasons, Hannah can sometimes be a bit too much for the others, but she knows when it’s a good time to lighten the mood and when isn’t.



Paige is the bubbly extrovert of the group, like Sammy. Her family runs a successful garden back at home and is a very passionate “plant mama”. Overtime, she gets to know each of her friends, some were able to open up better than others, but she’s happy to learn that the six consider themselves close friends, even family.

Mickey is someone I can describe as a small gender-bent clone of Yasmina. Unlike Yaz, he is a baseball player for his school’s team. Mickey is also a lot like Yaz in season 1, super anti social and constantly puts on this tough guy physique when in reality he’s just as terrorized as the rest of the group.He warms up to the group overtime and looks up to Yasmina a lot.

And lastly, Tyler. He’s an aspiring social media influencer. He has looked up to Brooklynn ever since she first started her career and wants to be just like her, or possibly collaborating with her one day.Tyler currently doesn’t have as many followers as his idol, but he recently reached one million followers before the events of Chaos Theory.

Anyways I love them they’re so silly!!

Your last-minute guide to Monday's total solar eclipse

SHARE THIS —

April 4, 2024, 5:59 PM EDT / Updated April 5, 2024, 4:15 PM EDT

By Denise Chow and Lucas Thompson

A total solar eclipse will cross North America on Monday, offering millions a rare opportunity to see afternoon skies temporarily darken as the moon blocks the face of the sun.

Tune into NBC News NOW as Lester Holt hosts a two-hour special at 2 p.m. ET Monday from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.https://8c72a564604f613854c18f3f70fe4dd4.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0

The eclipse's path fortuitously cuts across Mexico, 15 U.S. states and a small part of eastern Canada. In all other states in the continental U.S., viewers will be treated to a partial solar eclipse, with the moon appearing to take a bite out of the sun and obscuring part of its light.

Here’s everything you need to know about the rare celestial event. 

What is a solar eclipse?

Solar eclipses occur when the sun, moon and Earth align. The moon passes between Earth and sun, temporarily blocking the sun’s light and casting a shadow on Earth. 

Solar eclipses occur only with the new moon. Because the moon’s orbit around Earth is tilted, the three bodies don’t always line up in a way that creates an eclipse.https://8c72a564604f613854c18f3f70fe4dd4.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0

“Imagine if the moon’s orbit were in the plane of Earth’s orbit around the sun — if that were the case, then every new moon, you’d have a total solar eclipse and every full moon, you’d have a lunar eclipse,” Neil DeGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, told NBC News. “So, because things don’t always align, it lends to the rarity of the event and the specialness of the event.”

Where and when will the eclipse be visible?

This year’s eclipse will follow a slightly wider path over more populated areas of the continental U.S. than other total solar eclipses have in the recent past.

The path travels through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Tiny parts of Michigan and Tennessee will also be able to witness totality if conditions are clear.https://8c72a564604f613854c18f3f70fe4dd4.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0

After the eclipse crosses into Canada, it will pass over southern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, at the eastern end of Nova Scotia.

Those outside the path of totality can still take part in the astronomical event by viewing a partial solar eclipse — visible throughout all 48 states of the contiguous U.S. — or a NASA livestream.

The timing, including how long totality lasts, depends on the location, but some spots will see the moon fully cover the sun for up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds.

Below is a list of timings for some cities along the path of totality, as provided by NASA. A number of other resources, including NationalEclipse.com and TimeandDate.com, can also help people plan.https://8c72a564604f613854c18f3f70fe4dd4.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0

Dallas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:23 p.m. CT and totality at 1:40 p.m.

Little Rock, Arkansas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:33 p.m. CT and totality at 1:51 p.m.

Cleveland: Partial eclipse begins at 1:59 p.m. ET and totality at 3:13 p.m.

Buffalo, New York: Partial eclipse begins at 2:04 p.m. ET and totality at 3:18 p.m.

Lancaster, New Hampshire: Partial eclipse begins at 2:16 p.m. ET and totality at 3:27 p.m.

It is never safe to gaze directly at the sun, even when it is partly or mostly covered by the moon. Special eclipse glasses or pinhole projectors are required to safely view solar eclipses and prevent eye damage. Failing to take the proper precautions can result in severe eye injury, according to NASA.

Eclipse glasses are thousands of times darker than normal sunglasses and specially made to enable wearers to look at the sun during these kinds of celestial events.https://8c72a564604f613854c18f3f70fe4dd4.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0

Sky-watchers should also never view any part of the sun through binoculars, telescopes or camera lenses unless they have specific solar filters attached. Eclipse glasses should not be used with these devices, as they will not provide adequate protection. 

Beware of fake eclipse glasses. On legitimate pairs, the lenses should have a silver appearance on the front and be black on the inside. The manufacturer’s name and address should be clearly labeled, and they should not be torn or punctured. Check, as well, for the ISO logo and the code “IS 12312-2” printed on the inside.

If you don’t have eclipse glasses, you can make a homemade pinhole projector, which lets sunlight in through a small hole, focuses it and projects it onto a piece of paper, wall or other surface to create an image of the sun that is safe to look at. https://8c72a564604f613854c18f3f70fe4dd4.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0

All you need is two pieces of white cardboard or plain white paper, aluminum foil and a pin or thumbtack. Cut a 1- to 2-inch square or rectangle out of the center of a piece of white paper or cardboard. Tape aluminum foil over that cut-out shape, then use a pin or thumbtack to poke a tiny hole in the foil. 

During the eclipse, place a second piece of white paper or cardboard on the ground as a screen and hold the projector with the foil facing up and your back to the sun. Adjusting how far you hold the projector from the second piece of paper will alter the size of the image on the makeshift screen

.What to look for while viewing the total solar eclipse

For people along the path of totality, there are some fun milestones to keep track of as the total solar eclipse unfolds.

When the last beams of sunlight are about to become obscured, look out for the “diamond ring effect”: The sun’s atmosphere will appear as an illuminated halo, and the last light still visible will look like the diamond of a giant ring.

As the sunlight decreases even further, an effect known as Baily’s beads will be created by the moon’s rugged terrain. Tiny “beads” of light will be visible for only a few seconds around the dark moon, as the last bits of sunlight peer through the moon’s mountains and valleys.

Some lucky sky-watchers may even catch a glimpse of a comet.

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks — nicknamed the “devil comet” because an eruption last year left it with two distinct trails of gas and ice in the shape of devil horns — is currently visible from the Northern Hemisphere as it swings through the inner solar system.

The comet can be seen in the early evenings by gazing toward the west-northwest horizon. During the eclipse, when skies darken during totality, it may be possible to see the comet near Jupiter, but its visibility will depend on whether it’s in the middle of an outburst and thus brighter than normal.

Most likely, all eyes will be on the alignment of the moon and sun.

“Most people won’t even notice,” Tyson said. “But if you know to look, it’s there.”

When is the next solar eclipse?

The next total solar eclipse will be in 2026, but it will mostly pass over the Arctic Ocean, with some visibility in Greenland, Iceland, Portugal and northern Spain. In 2027, a total solar eclipse will be visible in Spain and a swath of northern Africa. 

The next total solar eclipse visible from North America will be in 2033, but only over Alaska. Then in 2044, a total solar eclipse will cross Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, parts of Canada and Greenland.

The next total solar eclipse to cross the continental U.S. coast-to-coast in will occur in 2045. The path of totality for that eclipse will cut through California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
