Behind Closed Doors

Ruby Cruz x Fem!reader

Warnings: Enemies to lovers (kinda), VERY ANGSTy (By far the angsty-est thing I've published so far), inner Homophobia and mentions of homophobic parents, Reader is on a kinda depressive episode ig (I don't really know so sorry if it's not correct), Mentions of alcohol, Jack being a good brother!!!

Summary: Reader is acting strange so Jack and Ruby make a plan for Ruby to apologize.

Author’s note: this was supposed to be a bigger chapter but I decided to divided in 2 and post this one first. It's a bit short, and there's not a lot of Ruby and Reader interaction, but yeah. Hope you like it!! Also some of you asked for more and I'm a people pleaser so @sam-cooperrr @at1nyzen here you go!

Part 1!

The next few days were very strange for everyone. You would spend your days inside of your head, completely disassociating from every interview and conversation. You would get home and head to your bed in your room. You barely stopped for a snack or lunch. Jack would leave food on your desk and every now and then check on you, only to find you crying into a pillow or just staring into space. At work, the situation is similar. Ruby noticed how every time you had an interview, you would barely even try to talk, getting later scolded by Lola in front of everyone. Everyone could just see a heavy dark cloud that rained on top of you constantly, that would follow around all day til you got back home to your bed.

But that cloud was even heavier than anyone else thought. That cloud held all the narrow minded ideals of your parents that have been shoved into your head ever since you were kid. That cloud held all the self hatred you held for yourself for even thinking you could feel that type of way. The cold was heavy with the utter fear of being left alone by everyone around her if she ever were to speak about this issue. This cloud was heavy with the unwanted dreams and thoughts about Ruby that she shouldn't be having at all.

Ruby couldn't help but to feel guilty. She had ignored you and made you feel terrible for an entire year during filming, and then she kissed you without a warning or explanation. You must be so confused by the sudden change, and it was all because of her. All because Ruby couldn’t hold her stupid little crush any longer. Ruby would spend her nights staring into the ceiling of the hotel room, thinking and meditating on how to apologize to you, and how to explain her stupid feeling. Explain how her head thought it was okay to ignore you and pretend she hated you, just to avoid falling even deeper into her stupid crush. Explain how she did this for both of you, since if you ended up dating or anything, they were both gonna get fired for breaking the contract. Sometimes she wonders if the ceiling would ever stop spinning.

Three knocks popped her out of her anxious bubble, as they seemed to come from the door of her hotel room. She sat up and walked towards the door trying to figure out who might be on the other side. It might just be room service or maybe even her agent, who was staying only a few rooms away, but instead it was a tall man, who had both of his hands on his back. He looked oddly similar, but Ruby decided to just ignore her gut to greet him

“Hello” Ruby who had her hand on her door handle incase of emergency, looked at both ends of the corridors trying to get any hint of who the man on her door was “Can I help you with anything?”

“You’re Ruby, Right?”The tall man pointed both of his index fingers towards her with an eyebrow raised “I'm Jack, Y/n’s older brother”

Her grip on the door became tighter, as she grew nervous at the sound of your name

“Shit” Ruby cursed, her blue eyes going wide “I-i-is something wrong? Did something h-h-happen?”

With a tired yet quite patient sigh, Jack shook his head disappointed and placed both hands on his jacket pocket

“Yeah,” he sighed “can we…” he said pointing towards her room, suggesting to come inside

“Oh! Of course!” Ruby opened the door wider and stood aside “Come in”

The hotel room Ruby was staying in looks like those pictures from the magazine, every single little thing in its place, barely moved or out of place. The generic artwork, the pale colors, and the lack of personality really made the atmosphere more uncomfortable than it already was. Ruby showed the man the living room, as she took a seat on a rock hard couch. Jack sat on the opposite end, leaving a space so long between them, it felt even weird to be looking at each other from such a distance. The grown man placed both hands on his knees and tried to get rid of the nervous sweat on it, rubbing them harshly while Ruby on the other side, stared down at her socks like an embarrassed child who was just caught doing something she’s not supposed to.

“This is gonna sound so fucking rude but” He asked, blinking quickly trying to be as straightforward as possible, but at the same time kind and not be too mean “What the hell happened last monday?”

“I… I don't know ” Ruby mumbled, eyes on the floor and fingers fiddling with a bracelet she was wearing

Jack scoffed and leaned in more, making Ruby see his face on her peripheral view, which made her throat close up quickly.

“Well then” he said loudly “Let me paint you a fresh image. Last Saturday, it was the afternoon. My sister was excited to go on her first ever press tour, worried about messing up and what not. Then, Monday, around midday, I got a text from her begging for me to pick her up, because of something you did. I show up, and she cries the entire way back home. Now, she won’t speak a word, leave her bedroom unless its for work, won’t even eat and she hasen’t answered any of her managers calls or text.” he slaps his hands in his knees as he leans back on the couch shaking his head in disbelief “Lola had to fucking call, and beg me to see what the hell is wrong with. Apparently she won’t even talk in interviews, or even try to be part of the presstour at all, which might just ruin her in the public eye” As he spoke every word, Ruby felt her lungs growing even tighter, so air that she already lacked became even less “So let me ask you again. What happened last monday?”

Ruby inhaled through her nose, trying her best to get as much oxygen into her body, a small sniff breaking the tense atmosphere in the room. She bit her tongue, sinking her teeth in it till it drew blood. The guilt inside of her trying its best to burst and come out of her mouth, but she tried her hardest inside her stomach. But she knew that keeping it in will only make matters even worse, and so she chose her following words carefully

“We…” she said softly “I-” she placed her hand on her face and dragged them down “When… When I met her, I… I had like… this HUGE crush on her” she tries to laugh of her worries, only making her voice grow weak “and i knew, i knew in that moment, that having to film with her was going to be… a nightmare” From the corner of her eye she could see how Jack turned form completely ignoring her to now being completely hooked and attentive to her words “When i signed the contract for Willow… there was this like… rule. No one, in the show or involved in the show, could have a… romantic relationship or sexual affair with someone inside the cast or crew. So i fucked” she whisper that last sentence as she cover her face with her cold nervous hands, trying to shield the stare from the man beside her “So i did what… I did what I thought would work!” she shrugs her shoulders, the red embarrassment washing over her face

“So you… treated her like shit?” Jack whispered confused

“I- when i was a kid, my mom told me that the only way to get rid of a crush, was to just pretend you hate them. Pretend they are annoying or just gross till the crush washes away. And i thought it would work” she places both of her feet on the couch, her knees close to her chest, hugging them tightly and cringing at every word that came out her mouth “and i thought it worked! I mean… by the end of filming, it really felt like i didn’t have anything for her but then… fuck. My manager told me that for the presstour we were gonna be paired together, and that i couldn’t act so cold or rude, because then it would give bad press and whatever. So on monday, we were in an interview, and apparently no one told y/n that we were supposed to act like… buddies. She didn’t take it well and she was crying, and I panicked. I panicked so i just fuck… I kissed her!” she yells before burying her face on her knees like a angsty teen and groaned loudly “I kissed her and then i realized i fucked up because now she was going to be more confused than before, but then she kissed me back and so i ju-”

“Woah woah!” Jack shook hands stopping Ruby’s rant, his eyes wide “hold on”

Ruby removed her face from her legs to see your brother who was freaking out. He looked lost in the conversation, trying to tie the knots together with ropes that weren’t even there in the first place.

“My sister” he said blankly, looking ruby “Kissed…” he then pointed toward the girl “you?”

Ruby moves her head softly as she bites her lip knowing that what most follow wont be an easy pill to swallow.

“H-h-how? She’s not like…'' Jack didn’t dare to finish the sentence, being cut off by his pure fear “Like… she’s not… gay” he whispers that last word, as if someone were to hear them “She’s has never…you know? Like- she’s only dated boys… only boys” he shook his head confused “I mean im her best friend so i she tells me literally everything! and if she was… you know… she- she would have told me'' he looked almost offended as he moved his hands as it would help him understand.

“She’s not ga-” Ruby asked quietly

“No!” Jack said a bit loudly “God no! Our- our parents would have killed… her. They would… fucking kick her out! So there is no way, she’s… into girls ”

“Wait what?” Ruby lets go of her knees and she buries them under her body, sitting on top of them, placing her arms now on her lap, turning towards the man on the couch “That doesn’t make any sense! She literally kissed me back, in the bathroom, why would she-” but then a light bulb lit up in her head that made her place the final piece of the puzzle “Jack?”

“Yeah” the grown man nod was completely staring at the ceiling confused

“You said she only dates guys right? May I ask… how many?”

“Not many really, I mean, she had her highschool sweetheart and she had a boyfriend before leaving to Wales for filming. Why do you ask?”

“Maybe… just maybe. She was… faking it?”

Jack sat up and looked Ruby as if she was crazy

“What? No. Why would she do that?”

“I mean you said it yourself!” she gesticulates “Your parents aren’t really… allies. So maybe she had a beard or something?”

“A beard?”

“Oh right, you’re straight, shit” she laughs softly “A beard is when a queer person pretends to be straight, and dates the opposite sex to… keep their cover. So maybe she… she was just dating those guys to… look straight. So you’re parent’s wouldn’t question her sexuality”

“Shit” jack mumbled “I-i never thought about that”

Both of them stayed completely silent for a few eternal minutes, letting the tense and touch air fill the empty silent room. On one side of the couch, there was Jack who felt the utter disappointment of being a terrible brother for not noticing or not even making you comfortable enough to tell him. It felt like he had failed his task as your brother and bestfriend, and that only made him wonder more of the different things you might be hiding, or things you have never told him. On the other side, Ruby, buried her face in her legs and pushed the guilty tears back, trying to swallow the guilty sour taste in her throat, but it only made it taste and feel worse. She couldnt believe she had fucked uup this bad, and that there is probably no way to fix it.

“What do we know?” Ruby frowned in disappointment as she just tugged her knees closer to her chest.

After a few minutes of cold air, jack snapped his fingers and stood up

“I have a plan”

─── ∘°❉°∘ ───

Jack opens the door to his apartment he shared with his sister. The rented apartment was mostly empty except for a few of their things from home. As he looked around the flat he noticed it was exactly the same way it was when he left in the morning. He was gone for over 2 hours, and it looked like you hadn't even come out of your room at all. He left the shopping bags on the kitchen floor and walked toward the hall where your door was left ajar. The lights were out and the curtains completely closed, surrounding yourself in the same type of darkness and emptiness you felt inside. Jack leaned against the door frame, and knocked twice before switching the lights on, making you wince a the bright light

“You up?” he asks as you grab the duvet cover and place them over yourself to protect you from the light.

Jack let out a tried laugh and pushed himself off the door frame and made his way to your bed, sitting on the edge and placing a hand on your shoulder and shaking you. The only response you gave your brother was a groan

“Good afternoon” he then grabs the duvet and pulls it off your face “Have you had lunch yet?”

“Yes” you huffs out “I ate yesterday's leftovers” you then point over to your desk where an almost empty plate rested

Though it is not a lot, it's at least enough, and it made Jack smile.

“Good. that’s good” he sighs

After a few moments of silence, you decide to grab the duvet once again and place it over your head, completely covering you from head to toe. Jack stared down at the lump on the bed and tried his best to follow along with the plan he had just made with ruby. So he bit his tongue and tried his very best to sound truthful.

“Hey, So…. Tony texted me” his words came out casual, and made you react on the exact way planed

You jump out of the covers and sit up quickly, your puffy red eyes now wide.

“Tony?” you repeated trying to clarify “as in…. Tony Revolori?” you push away the hairs on your face to see your brother clearer

“Yeah” he nodded

“Why?” you shook your head completely clueless

Jack cleared his throat and followed along. You were alway the actress in the family, so him having to pretend to be one too didn’t come out as naturally

“You weren’t answering your phone, so he texted me through insta, he’s inviting you to a bar for drinks tonight, some sort of reunion party” He then sits even further into the bed, making himself comfortable

“Oh” you look down at your lap, to fidget with your nails, but there weren't much left since the past days you have been picking and biting them till the skin underneath bleed through “a party”

“Yep” Jack nods with a soft smile “It might be fun, who knows?”

“Is it like… a whole cast thing?” you whispered trying to find something in your hands to pick from

Jack then grabbed your hands to stop you from harming yourself any further. He knew all of your nervous and anxious ticks, so he always made sure to stop you from them getting too bad, before it's too bad.

“Apparently it’s a whole cast thing” He words everything calmly trying not to make you feel overwhelmed by the news, but it didn’t work, as you throw yourself back into the bed groaning loudly “But… maybe Ruby won’t be there” he tries to console, shrugging his shoulder as if he didn’t know everything planned.

You squint your eyes and then roll them

“A cast party without the main character of the show? Yeah, i doubt that she’ll be there Jack” you sarcastically remake before placing both hands on your face

Great, the first ever cast hangout, she wasn't invited, and now that she is, Ruby’s gonna be there.

“Come on '' Jack then laid down next to her, and stared at the ceiling, completely copying her posture “Maybe it would be good for you, you know? Get out of your bed, wear something that doesn't sweat, and like… actually shower?”

You punch your brother harshly making him laugh while holding his arm

“Hey!” He groaned “Come on, you know I'm kidding! I'm kidding!” you hit him again but now softer, just to piss him off “Hey! Stop! I'm trying to be nice!”

“If you wanted to be nice you wouldn’t have told me about the party” you snap back, giving him a final punch

“Why?”

“Because i'm not going, and now i feel like shit for canceling on Tony”

“What do you mean you’re not going?”

“I'm not going” you shrug “Ruby’s gonna be there, and if she’s there… it will suck” you then shake your head a huff out “Plus, if she’s there, everyone will hang out with her and i’ll spent the entire night on my own”

“Not necessarily” jack bumps his shoulder against yours

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t have to be alone. I could go with you” he then starts to shuffle closer to you, and place his hand on yours and intertwine your fingers “I’ll go with you and make sure that Ruby won’t even try to look at you in the mean way. And if she dares to make a stupid comment, i'll make sure to hype you up if you want to beat her up” He then punches you softly just like you had done a few moments ago, making you giggle

You sigh down the giddiness in your smile as you mutter a “I don’t know” under your breath

“Come on” Jack whines, leaning into you with a teasing smile “I’ll be so much fun. Just the two of us. A couple of shots, maybe some pints”

Half of you told you that it wasn't worth it. That even if Jack was there, the guilt of seeing Ruby there, and just the mere thought of having her close made you feel sick to the stomach. With a simple kiss, she had made every single bone in your body feel brand new, and strange inside your body. Just imagine what she could do if you spent a night with her, while drunk. But then, the other half of you was tired and sick of staying inside the bed. You smelled terrible, felt even worse. You missed laughing and just being around people, so maybe this was a good idea.

You sigh and shake your head, as you smile at the ceiling. With a decision made you spoke again.

“Fuck it” you sat up and took a deep breath “Let’s get drunk”

Your brother sits up along and shows you his wide smile

“Lets get Fucking Drunk!”

Could this be old jaune hugging yang ?

Jaune: JNPR just got a mission, we'll be out for about a month, and we won't have CCT connection during it, other than an emergency signal booster.

Yang: Oh? A month? That's ...

Jaune: We'll be fine Yang. Arc's promise. We leave in a week, and I'd like to get my cuddles in now!

Yang: Oh Fine. Since it's you Toothy.

~~~~~

The TV droned, some cheesy romance movie playing nearly muted.

The Alligator faunus ran her fingers through the hair of the shark faunus that was using her tail as a pillow, smiley softly at the unconscious Team leader.

Yang: I'm gonna miss you Jaune. I wish I could wholeheartedly believe that you'd come back but ... Someone broke that promise and it made me raise Ruby alone. I don't know if I could handle it if you didn't make it back here.

Yang: Back to me ...

~~~~~

Jaune: Well. I guess I'll see you in a month Yang.

Yang: I ... I love you. Please come home.

Jaune: I will Yang. I love you more.

Yang: Don't lie to me Jaune Arc!

Jaune: ... See later, Alligator. *He leaves*

Yang: ... After a while, Shark smile ...

Yang: Please make it home soon.

~~~~~

Yang: It's been a month.

Ruby: Yang, Jaune said About a month. He'll make it home.

Yang: But what if he doesn't!

Ruby: Yang, I'll pull some strings at the Hunter's Union of Vale to see if there's any news.

Yang: I'd .. I would appreciate it Rubes.

~~~~~

Yang: Have you checked in? How's Juniper doing!?!

Ruby: ... I won't lie to you Yang. They haven't checked in at their outpost yet, which puts them about a week and a half behind schedule.

Yang: ... He left me ...

Ruby: *Grabbing Yang by the shoulders* Look me in the Eyes Yang Xiao Long - Jaune gave his word. He Lives and Dies by his word. He'll make it back, or I'm not Ruby Rose.

Yang: You're right. Your Right! I just need to Buck up! He can make it back. He'll make it home ...

~~~~~

Yang: ...

Ruby: ... There's peop-

Yang: Stop.

Yang: Just ... Stop.

Yang: I ...

Yang: I just need ... I need to be alone right now. Please.

Ruby: ... Okay Yang. We're here for you if you need us.

Yang: ...

~~~~~

Ruby: YANG HOLY FUCK!

Yang: WHAT! RUBY!?!? What are-

Ruby: JNPR CALLED IN!

Yang: ... What?

Ruby: JNPR Called in, they're all alive but running low on everything they need to survive, and running out of aura - even with the fastest Bullhead it'll take a day or two for the to get home, but their alive!

Yang: ... *Begins Crying*

Ruby: *Hugging Yang* He's making it home Yang. He lives and Dies by his word, and by the Maiden's he's living.

~~~~~

Yang Bounced on her heels, waiting for the bullhead that had JNPR on it to land. It'd been more than twice what Jaune said it would take, and Yang was over waiting.

Then the Bullhead Landed.

And Jaune stepped out.

Jaune: It's a lot later than- OOF!

Yang tackled Jaune and had begun Crying in his shoulder.

Yang: TWO AND A HALF MONTHS! You were gone so long!

Yang: I Thought- I thought ...

Jaune: *Crying as well* I know, I know I missed you a lot too Yang. But I keep my word.

Yang: I know ... You've got the only shark smile I can trust.

Yang: ... Like the Stubble, Hun.

Jaune: really? It's itchy. I was gonna shave-

Yang: You're keeping the Stubble Jaune. It's recompense for making me wait so long.

Getting a lot of asks about my apparent plans for UF2 based on the old chapter list, so I went through and wrote out everything I could remember for these chapters based on only their titles and the very sparse handful of notes I still have on hand. Enjoy!

Arc 1: A Wheel in the Woods

Prologue: Welcome to the Universe: Idk, establishing a bunch of behinds the scene shit particularly with Homeworld I guess

Chapter 1: Back to the Falls: Reunion, everyone coming back to Gravity Falls and meeting up again

Chapter 2: Journal 4: Dipper starts writing his own journal (Ford probs gives him a blank one) ala what the end of Journal 3 implies

Chapter 3: Prior Engagement: Soos and Melody get engaged?? I think?

Chapter 10: Trust No One: Idk Bill gets freed somehow but he's not as powerful as he used to be

Arc 2: That Will Be All

Chapter 11: Fusion Foretold: This one was gonna be fun! So a group of magical creatures, pixies I think, saw Stonipbel fighting during Weirdmageddon the previous summer and believe them to be a prophecised hero, without knowing they're just four kids in a tall trenchcoat. Hijinks ensue

Chapter 12: Back Into the Bunker: Return to the bunker, this time with Ford and Fiddleford, basically a flashback on how Rose and the Gems helped them build it

Chapter 13: Summer Snowfall: Fuckin snows in Gravity Falls, its basically just swinter iidk winter hijinks

Chapter 14: Monster Shack: Return of the Monster Falls designs idk how I just wanted to see them again, would have probs featured Monster Stevonnie, Maven, and Stepper bc im obsessed

Chapter 15: Revenge Tour: Stan and Amethyst up to illegal hijinks again, this time roping Wendy and mabel Lapis in?

Chapter 16: A Shoulder to Cry On: Steven/Pacifica fusion, Connie and Dipper are jealous little shits

Chapter 17: A Pines Bros Mystery: Flashback chapter adapting the chapter of the same name from Lost Legends focusing on the young Stan Twins

Chapter 18: Steven's Dream: Same as the show, the gang goes to fucking Korea I guess (said gang including all four of the Pines)

Chapter 19: Adventures in Light Distortion: More or less the same as canon

Chapter 20: Gem Heist: Hinjinks in the zoo, the zoomans also think stan and ford are hot along with greg imo deadass they're right

Chapter 20: That Will Be All: same as canon this time featuring Stonemason foreshadowing

Arc 3: Wanted

Chapter 21: The New Crystal Gems (temp): would have had a name change, same as the ep but featuring Pacifica, Wendy, Soos, and Fiddleford filling in for the Pines, hijinks ensue

Chapter 22: Room for Ruby: Fuckin little shit comes to earth, only Stan and Lapis are able to tell she's sus as fuck

Chapter 23: Tie the Knot: I think this was when Soos and Melody were gonna get married???? Yeah UF2 was gonna have 2 weddings lol

Chapter 24: Alternate Ending: Same as the ep, Steven imagining what it would be like if he did have a sister bc he's a lil jealous of Dipper and Mabel's dynamic

Chapter 25: Alone in the Woods: Something Dipper and Lapis related??? idk

Chapter 26: Doug Out: Same as the show more or less, Aquamarine and Topaz fuckiin around

Chapter 27: Brotherly Shove: Stan and Ford focused, probs would have resulted in them both getting captured by Aqua and Topz

Chapter 28: Are You My Dad: Same as the show, more GF characters captured alongside the SU characters

Chapter 29: I Am My Mom: Same as canon, but with Dipper and Mabel getting taken to Homeworld with Steven and Lars, would have also included Stuck Together

Chapter 30: The Trial: Same as canon, more implications of Rose being a Shady Bitch who worked with Bill in the past; ends with Dipper pulling a self sacrifice essentially so Steven and Mabel can escape, thus officially kickstarting the Stonemason arc

Chapter 30: Wanted: Mabel and Steven desperately trying to find a way to save Dipper, Lars fucking dies, Maven maybe shows up? The kiddos go home and break the bad news that they're now one short oop

Arc 4: Stonemason Unmasked

Chapter 31: Within Without: Aftermath of the Wanted arc, Pines family is a fucking mess, not even knowing if Dipper is still fucking alive; Steven is a guilt ridden disaster

Chapter 32: Gemcation: The gems take everyone on a trip to try and both cool down and strategize; Stan and Ford get into a fight bc they're stressed, everything is bad

Chapter 33: Kevin Party: More or less same but Kevin wants Stevonnie, Maven, and Stepper at his party (lol kinda impossible for that last one atm imo); Mabel runs into Gabe Bensen at the party and tells him to fuck off, feeling guilt once again for the events of Sock Opera especially now that Dipper is gone

Chapter 34: Shipping and Handling: I think this was gonna focus on Pacifica's feelings about Dipper being missing? Was probs gonna be sad as fuck tbh this entire arc was

Chapter 35: Lars of the Stars: Same but with Mabel trying to convince Lars and the Off Colors to take them back to Homeworld so they can look for Dipper; they don't get far before Emerald attacks tho

Chapter 36: Jungle Moon: Same as before but this time it has a subplot with Mabel being lost on her own on the Jungle Moon, and her first encounter with Stonemason (she doesn't realize who he is yet)

Chapter 36: Sweater Sewing: Gang is back on earth, more focused on Mabel's huge well of emotions about missing Dipper, writing him letters so she can fill him in on everything once they find him/her doubting if they will

Chapter 37: Mindless Education: All our remaining MK have Angst for days and fusion aint gonna help them work through it this time, basically, the MK aren't complete with Dipper ahahah

Chapter 38: The Assassin: Stonemason officially arrives in Gravity Falls and fights the Gems (they still dont know who he is yet)

Chapter 39: The Mask: Second encounter with Stonemason, ends with the dramatic face reveal ahahaha

Chapter 40: Stonemason Unmasked (p1 and p2): deadass just retelling how Dipper wound up as Stonemason in full, introduces Amber and shows how he lost his arm, was conditioned/brainwashed, etc. Was gonna be told as a series of vingette scenes

Arc 5: Break the Chain

Chapter 41: Show Yourself: Reactions to Stonemason's real identity, failed attempts from the Pines and the Gems to basically break Dipper out of the brainwashing I guess

Chapter 42: Deep Cut: Outright fucking war between the Stans and the Gems basically with the Stans blaming the Gems for what's happened to Dipper and Steven and Mabel trying their best to get them to reconcile and work together

Chapter 42: Lullaby: Probs Stonemason focused, showing that Dipper is still in there and is trying to break free but cant bc of YD's conditioning

Chapter 43: Puppet Strings: Bill fuckin returns after like 40 chapters, absolutely taking advantage of this fucked up situation to try and broker a deal with Steven. it doesn't work. Yet

Chapter 44: Crash and Burn: Stonemason attacks Gravity Falls directly, without the mask which will have huge repercussions later

Chapter 45: Forever Together: Maven focused; they go off on their own to try and track down Stonemason, probably having an emotional breakdown or two along the way

Chapter 46: Don't Let Go: Possibly Lapis focused??? How the whole Stonemason thing is impacting her (not well)

Chapter 47: Burnout: Everyone fucking just hits rock bottom unsure of what the fuck to do

Chapter 48: A Final Farewell: Essentially that oneshot I wrote that one time, Amber sending the Gems and Pines a message from Dipper that encourages them to keep going

Chapter 49: Hide and Seek: The gang finally captures Stonemason and restrains him but they have no fucking idea how to help him

Chapter 50: Find the Key: Potentially calls back to both Dreamscaperers and RMD, with Steven and Mabel going inside Stonemason's mind to save Dipper

Chapter 50: Break the Chain: They fight Stonemason in there, break Dipper free, and he's back yay! but he's a lil fucked up actually lol

Arc 6: Rise and Fall and Rise Again

Chapter 51: Yes, My Diamond: Aftermath of Dipper struggling to fully break out of the conditioning ahaha angst city babyes

Chapter 52: The Golden Rule: I have no fucking clue something Stonemason related I guess, maybe the reveal that he's still runnin around inside of Dipper's mind and isnt actually gone like everyone thinks he is

Chapter 53: Blackout: Also don't know about this one, I guess its like emotional reconcilation from other characters?

Chapter 54: Your Mother and Mine: Finally getting back to SU eps, learning about how Rose started the war

Chapter 55: Pool Hopping: Garnet has even more angst bc boy howdy she did not see any of this Stonemason shit happening and she is hella guilty about it but at least she adopts a cat imo

Chapter 56: Raising the Barn: Lapis wants to leave now that Dipper is back, Dipper begs her to take him with her so YD won't find him and control him again; she says she's going to but doesn't imo fuckin ruins her relationship with her son nice going idiot

Chapter 57: Legend of the Dragowl: Dipper sad about his mom leaving, basically finds a cool dragon/owl hybrid in the woods and its basically HTTYD from there as that becomes his pet (names her Luna, she's cool)

"We'll find him, Ruby. Just have faith, " said Yang, who put a hand on her little sisters shoulder. Ruby nodded, a hopeful smile on her face as she looked at her scroll with a text from glynda saying they saw reports of sighting a blonde haired, blue-eyed tall male, carrying a sword shield in heading into a warehouse in down town vale.

Closing the scroll, Ruby just looked down at the necklace. Jaune had gotten her clutching it and pressed it tightly to her chest.

"It's gonna be okay, Ruby." Came the voice of Ren as he also offered her a comforting smile.

"Ren, I don't even know how you could be around me after what I said to -" Ren raised a hand to stop her.

"You were drugged Ruby...she drugged you to hurt Jaune... I know you love him too much to ever mean that," While what Ren said was true, it still hurt Ruby to no end.

She could hear those hateful words she said to him.

That look of utter defeat in his eyes.

She broke him.

He was shattered.

She wasn't sure she could mend this now.

No.

"Get out of that line of thinking, Ruby, you have to try and fix this," she thought as suddenly the vehicle they were in came to a halt.

"We're here!" Came Weiss from upfront, and Ruby looked at Yang, who nodded before they all exited the vehicle and stood in front of an old abandoned warehouse that Jaune was last seen.

Ruby didn't hesitate for a second as she ran straight in.

"Jaune!" she screamed out, busting through the doors, but all she got was an echo as she looked around the empty warehouse only for something to catch her eye with a gasp she ran up to it before dropping to the floor.

"Ruby!" Came her sister as her team flanked by Nora, and Ren caught up to her.

"Did you find anything?" Nora asked as she walked up as Ruby just turned to them and they all gasped.

In Ruby's arms was Jaune's armor, Crocea Mors, and finally, his scroll.

Ruby had tears running down her face before she was enveloped in a hug by her sister and team.

Ren hugged Nora, who too was crying at arriving just too late.

Weiss as she began looking around, trying to find some sort of clue. If she could find any information, she should start with Jaune's scroll.

Grabbing it from Ruby, she opened it up and checked his messages. Everything was from them trying to find him... except one message that popped out with no contact name.

She opened the message to see a video titled.

"Who knows you best?"

"Ruby, take a look at this...it's an unknown message that Jaune just recently got," Weiss said as Ruby wiped the tears from her eyes before she grabbed the scroll from Weiss as everyone huddled around Ruby, who pressed play.

"Oh Jaune, who knows you better than I do?" Came a voice, male for certain, but one that no one was familiar with.

"Do you think she'll still love you if she knew the truth if they all knew the truth?" Images of Ruby and all of Jaune's family and friends flashed before the screen.

"They don't deserve you, Jaune." said the voice as all of Jaune's past fights and arguments with them were repeated in the video.

"The truth is... you're gonna go too far, you're gonna give in" the voice chuckled as images of a knight flashed on screen as Team RWBY had to hold their breath, remembering the time Jaune was the unstoppable monster during their time in Wonder-Land.

"So why wait? Cause when you do... you're gonna remember how good it feels. " Memories of Jaune's time as the Knight were replayed out as Ren and Nora looked at the pale Ruby.

"And ooooh, it's gonna feel so good!" Said the voice as suddenly a purple eye was now on the screen.

"And if you're worried about the aftermath Jaune... just don't take the helmet off. " Came the voice as suddenly it cut back to a smiling Jaune.

"Tell me I'm wrong, Jaune."

"W-what was that?" asked Nora, but no one had even the slightest clue.

"How does this individual know of Jaune's time in that realm?" Came a puzzled Weiss as she began thinking.

"It's clear here whoever it is knows Jaune enough to want him to go back to being that Knight again." Came Blake as Ruby shook her head.

"What did he mean by 'Jaune gonna go too far?' " asked Nora and Ren looked at her.

"It means Jaune's gonna break...if he hasn't already," Yang glared at Ren, who winced as he heard Ruby sniffle.

"I'm sorry, Ruby, I-I didn't mean to." Ruby just shook her head.

"No, it's okay, it's the truth...I-I broke Jaune, I may have been drugged, but I broke him" she swallowed those words like it was acide

" and now this person wants to take advantage of Jaune's pain and send him back to that dark part of himself... back to his demons. " Ruby said as she looked at Jaune's armor and weapon.

"Oh Jaune...please come back...I'm sorry."

On the outskirts of Vale, a lone figure in a black hoodie that looked to be inside out walked along the sidewalk, blending in with the large crowd. He walked past a shop before stopping and thinking to himself if what he had done was right thing to do.

He looked at the window to see himself looking back at him.

"Tell me I'm wrong, Jaune." Jaune froze as cold blue eyes glared ominously from inside the helmet, he armor covered in blood and dirt as he held the fractured bloodied Crocea Mors. Jaune, in fear, shuts his eyes, almost as if waiting for an attack, but nothing ever came.

As he opened his eyes to see himself staring back again.

With a sigh of relief, Jaune proceeded to begin his travels.

so (claps my hands together) they 100% misused neo here. they shouldve shown her and what she was doing in EA more. what screen time they did give her was often underwhelming. i had a complete lack of reaction to a certain kiss (& the whole scene honestly). it literally did nothing for me. just like. Ok. finally. it was dumb as fuck that yang was more concerned about defending blake from rubys outburst than she was about her sister clearly being in SEVERE distress?!? ruby the girl who's never lashed out like this ever, the sister she raised and would do anything for. okk... i liked jaune's arc though i thought that was well done + i love that he got to keep the white hair after being younged. the wk moments were... interesting. curious to see where they go with that. i LOVED the brothers lore it literally made me jaw drop. the baby brothers were so cute... really love that they were FROM EA rather than having created it. also the implication that they can come and go from there as they pleased? not really plausible imo but it couldve been interesting to. see them. umm. the neo illusion scene i loved everything about roman ofc. his final line made me cry really hard. clover was funny as hell to me. that man did fucking NOTHING. he only did things as part of the group and then during the fight he literally just stood there holding kingfisher. presumably bc neo had no idea how he fought. he was just there to be a number in the group + to turn into qrow. lionheart at least used his weapon in the fight. neo's backstory shouldve been more explored beyond a couple paintings and a couple lines from roman. not everyone has read roman holiday. ozpin using his cane in the fight like roman (hitting and bludgeoning rather than the fencing style) was a good detail. i've seen people get all up in arms about penny and ironwood being there but like. it is not unreasonable for neo to have made an educated guess as to what happened with them. the summer scenes were fantastic i love her axe-gun. yes ruby stop putting your mom on a pedestal she was a person too! though interesting that it took her so long to be like GASP my mom LIED?!? when in v7 qrow literally tells her that summer had a lot of secrets. meaning she lied a lot. ALSO very interested in who raven portaled to. if qrow knows more than hes been telling or if theres another person we havent met that raven found important enough to have immediate access to. weiss being made into the comedy character was.. annoying to say the least. neo's ending was unsatisfying in a lot of ways. i think this volume couldve done with another couple of episodes to fully flesh out ideas. sorry this was long lmao but it think this is a decent summary of my thoughts

YEAH!!!! honestly so many of my issues with it definitely could have been fixed with just like 2 extra episodes to fit in more of the build up (especially to the ruby and neo plot). bees were fine but they were like meant to be a d-plot to me. i figured it would be like primary plot is trying to get home interspersed with the ruby and neo dramatic build up and ruby's mental state deteriorating, b plot was what was goin on with jaune, c plot is The Penny Thing, and then bees could be doing their thang in the bg.

still mad ruby and neo's Whole Deal was like an episode and 4 lines of dialogue outside of that.

summer and raven's little adventure makes me so fucking crazy. i fully expect the person raven portalled to to be the spring maiden, and lowkey i think its possible it could be gretchen. the timeline would certainly line up.

neo's ending...i was able to be okay with it until i saw that the writers were literally like well she's a fan favourite so we knew we couldnt just off her so we had to give her a more gentle send off like KILL YOURSELVES!!!!!! sniffle. they rly just dropped at the last second "neo is jealous of the love ruby gets from her friends 🥺🥺 now she's gonna kill herself" LIKE SHUT UPPPPP.

the highs for me were VERY high (ruby snapping! neo's dialogue as an echo of salem's! jaune being a crazy hermit to parallel to ozpin! the brothers bg! summer and raven! the horror elements!!!) and the lows were very low. but if theyd had like literally just 2 more episodes i think it would have flowed a lot better and not felt quite so...rushed near the end.

#bayley tag #💌.txt #it wasnt a bad season by any means it still ranks way over v7 to me #but it was just like goddamnnnnn there was so much i was expecting from crew teases and such that just...wasnt there

for the playlist prompts how about songs you think remus would play in his classroom during his time as a dada professor? he feels like the type of teacher who would let soft music play while the students did their work or as he graded papers imo

send me playlist prompts!

Ha this one is fun! I like the idea of Lupin playing music during class - he’s already the “cool” professor, so this seems like a no-brainer! It was hard not to be influenced by the PoA movie, what with its lovely little Boggart montage set to jazz music, but I decided to roll with it and make Professor Lupin’s curiously curated lo-fi beats to relax and study to. My jazz knowledge is pretty limited (compared to my knowledge of, say, shitty 90s alternative rock bands), and I also felt like this playlist should be mostly instrumental, so I initially felt a little constrained with these selections. I ended up choosing a few lyrically topical songs, while the rest are just my personal instrumental jazz faves that I thought were fitting. Overall I’m quite pleased with how this came out – so I hope you enjoy!

Track list:

Sun Ra - I Could Have Danced All Night: I adore this entire album, it’s just so beautiful and wistful. I also find that I’m quite productive while listening to it, so I feel like it would work in a classroom setting…

Chet Baker - But Not For Me - Vocal Version: This is suuuuch a perfect Remus song to me omg. Everyone is in love except for ME and it’ll never happen for me (because I’m fundamentally unlovable because I’m a werewolf!!!)

Shira Small - Lights Gleam Lonely: Jazzy 70s pop. I love this song, I think it's sooo Lupin, and Icouldn’t resist putting it on here (also if you've seen the other playlist asks you know how obsessed I am with this album)

Dorothy Ashby - By The Time I Get to Phoenix: gorgeous 70s jazz harp (yes, harp!)

Ella Fitzgerald - No Moon At All: when I was making this playlist I was searching for jazz songs about the moon, only to find this one about how romantic it is when there is no moon, which is honestly a thousand times better than anything I could have imagined. 10/10 Remus moment

Thelonious Monk & John Coltrane - Ruby, My Dear: Gorgeous relaxing piano/saxophone song. I only know this song because Dave Malloy plays it in Ghost Quartet and if that sentence means anything to you then PLEASE TALK TO ME

Sun Ra - You Never Told Me That You Cared: from that same album as other Sun Ra one (I seriously can’t recommend it enough!). It's so crazy to feel heartbroken from an instrumental song like. This is literally just Notes and now I’m gonna start crying

Stanton Moore - Magnolia Triangle: another of my personal jazz instrumental faves. I’m just so impressed that something in 5/4 can sound this smooth and catchy

John Coltrane - My Favorite Things: this song is one of MY favorite things. The first time I heard it was because one of my teachers played it during a work period, so... rather fitting, right? Also it's SO long sorry about that

Miles Davis Quartet - That Old Devil Moon: there are plenty of vocal versions of this song, but I wasn't really feeling them... Sorry Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis is my best friend now

Thank you for the ask, this one was really fun! I hope you enjoy the playlist!

Loud House Moon Goats Christmas Vacation

After nearly a full month of performing, the Moon Goats are ready to enjoy their Christmas Vacation. Gig after gig, they outdid themselves with awesome Christmas songs they'd written the previous month. It was the time of giving people a new experience in the season of giving, not to mention a rockin 'holiday experience.

At seven am on Christmas Eve, Luna and her band, the Moon Goats arrived at the Royal Woods Mall. They promised Luan, her friends Ruby and Shannon from the Theatre Club, and Leni to help out on Christmas errands at the last minute. Leni took Lily with her to babysit on Christmas Eve with the whole Loud Family making the decision to celebrate Christmas in their own separate ways.

"So your dad was crying all night because this is your first time spending Christmas without your family?" Mazzy asked.

"Yes, you have no idea how many years he wants us to celebrate the holiday." Luna answered.

"But you do realize we haven't come up with an idea of what we can do during Christmas, right?" Sully added.

"Hey, it's not our fault our dad told us to reschedule until our mom gave us the opportunity a couple days ago." Luan said.

"I had to give up on the best Christmas outfit, because our Dad constantly wants me to drop it all because it was getting old." Leni groaned. "I just wanted to be in the Christmas spirit."

"Jeez, talking about sticking to the family tradition forever." Ruby added.

"We don't hate it, we just wanted to do something different for a change." Luna replied. "Though still, I really wanted to do something great with Sam since we couldn't go ice skating with all the skates sold out."

As the group headed their way to the food court, Luna saw Sam sitting alone, waiting. The sad part is despite the gigs she did with the band, she just told her family last night about her skipping family tradition which she's lucky they accepted, as long as she's being honest.

"Hey Sam." Luna walked up to her girlfriend.

"Hi Luna." She responded as Luna sat down. "So...any plans for us?"

"Sorry, but still nothing. To tell you the truth, it has been a busy month outside of our gigs."

"We really wanted to make this special for all of us but then again...this is our first Christmas together." Mazzy added.

"Well you can't expect to have a proper first Christmas for a band like us." Sam replied.

"So are we just gonna spend time in the mall?" Shannon wondered.

"No." Luna replied. "I gotta help Luan and Leni with their Christmas errands soon. And then maybe we can have lunch here."

"I had to work overtime at the Theatre club, so I didn't have time to buy Benny a Christmas present." Luan filling in.

"Were you planning to spend time with him?" Ruby added.

"I would if we had tickets to see a Broadway play of A Christmas Carol, but we don't."

"I gave Gavin his Christmas gift, but he headed down south to celebrate Christmas with his family so, babysitting Lily is all I got." Leni lifted Lily up.

"Lily wants a great Christmas!" Lily shouted.

Soon, Nina and Joey arrived at the food court, seeing the Moon Goats from a distance. "Hey Moon Goats!" She called their attention.

"Nina! Joey!" Sully smiled.

"It's great to see you two." Mazzy added.

"Well after she helped me with the tuba audition from the Christmas parade last week, I decided to help her pay for the Christmas Snickerdoodles." Joey replied.

"I'm in a snickerdoodle mood this year." Nina replied.

"That's nice." Sam smiled. "But we're trying to find our mood, since we have no plans for Christmas."

"We're not doing our family traditions this year unlike the last few years." Luna filling in. "Do you have any ideas?"

"We can do some Christmas carols." Nina offered.

"That'll take time." Joey said.

"Yeah, we all have been doing so many gigs, we didn't have time to listen to Christmas Carols." Sully replied.

"Don't you guys know you can do other activities during Christmas?" Shannon filling in. "Like sure, the Theatre Club does singing as well, but maybe there are other activities."

"She's right." Luan filling in. "How about when we do our errands, we find someone who could give us some inspiration."

"Yeah, you're right." Luna standing up. "But on Christmas Eve, it has to be a fast one."

Luna, Luan, and Leni left the food court, while the group stayed behind. They headed to the costume store to find Leni not only a costume for herself, but also Lily in her size. After picking a sparkling red and white Santa outfit and an elf costume for Lily, they paid for the two outfits as they headed out of the store.

"Why wouldn't you wanna see Sam in a Santa outfit?" Leni wondered.

"Because she told me I would look better in one." Luna answered. "The last time I wore a Santa outfit was when I was eight."

"Yeah, we remember that when you sang so many Christmas songs." Luan smiled. "Do you have Sam's Christmas gift?"

"Yes but it's in our bedroom. I didn't bring it with me because I was saving it for tomorrow. I know how thrilled she would've been if she found out what it is."

"Did she tell you what she likes?" Leni added.

"No, I picked up on hints during our time together, it's a surprise."

"Ohhh..." Luan, Leni, and Lily responded.

"You two would do the same, don't overdo it."

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with savoring the moment when it happens." Leni smiled.

"Yeah." Lily added.

"Though still, we really need to find someone to get an idea on what we're gonna do today." Luna looking around. She then noticed Lori's friend Carol hanging out with Becky after coming out from the camping store. She made her way to the two while her sisters followed suit. "Carol!"

Carol and Becky turned their attention to Luna but little did the rockstar know, they were planning to leave. "Luna?" Carol replied.

"I know this isn't really the time, but I want to spend Christmas with not only my band, but also Sam. Do you have any ideas?"

"Luna, we're actually on a strict schedule right now." Becky replied. "Nothing personal, but tonight is really gonna be special."

"What, does it have something to do with your families?"

Carol and Becky looked at each other and went back to Luna again. "No." Carol responded. "We're gonna be watching the stars tonight."

Upon hearing their plans, Luna just found the inspiration she needs. "Wait, there's gonna be stars tonight? Like real stars?"

"Yes, we're gonna go to the forest while the stars appear above the frozen lake."

"For the last few days, we've decorated the trees at the location and all that's left is for winter camping supplies." Becky said, showing the supply bag.

"Wait, what do you mean by winter camping?" Luan wondered.

"The stars only appear at midnight." Carol answered. "Once we get to our destination, we're gonna set up our camping tents and sleep out there after watching the stars."

"That's...really awesome!" Luna cheered.

"Shooting stars during Christmas!?" Leni squealed. "How I didn't think of that before!?"

"It's called the Geminid Meteor Shower." Carol answered. "Usually it only appears a few days ago, but after the forecast news earlier this month, midnight could be bigger than that."

Luna couldn't pick a better opportunity for the best Christmas on her own. Even if she didn't experience the Geminid Meteor Shower in her life, she wonders how Sam would react upon the stars from the sky.

"Luna, you need to understand this isn't gonna be easy, not even a bit."

"You see, the weather is getting colder and it's gonna be a long night." Becky added.

"Yeah...I didn't forget the time we got stuck in Burpin' Burger to find the winning wrapper for Lana. The snow was that cold."

"We would've been burping icicles if things got worse." Luan added.

"Well you better get the equipment if you really want to see the stars." Carol replied. "Here's where you need to be." She showed Luna her phone on the destination where she and Becky are heading. Luna immediately took a picture from her phone as she's ready to tell Sam and the others their Christmas plans.

"Is Lori and Bobby gonna be there?" Leni wondered.

"No. I did offer, but they already had plans but luckily, Lori told me she found a way to get two other people to come along."

"They're probably already there right now, they really love the location." Becky added.

"Well, Lori is literally missing out on the best midnight in years." Luna grinned. "I'll do whatever it takes to get there."

"It's not that far away, it's just two miles from the road." Carol added. "I will say, I'm looking forward to seeing Sam. I've heard good things about her." This caused Luna to blush which Carol giggled. "Always the shy girlfriend who smiles especially during Christmas."

"She can't help herself." Leni replied while Lily giggled.

Carol and Becky walked past Luna and her sisters to head out of the mall. Luna took a deep breath, while focusing on her goal. "Okay, I'm gonna go to our band to tell them we're going winter camping tonight to see the stars at midnight!"

"You sure this is gonna work out?" Luan wondered.

"I'm sure, it's a once in a lifetime chance for me and the band. I promise I'll get back to you with the errands." Luna headed straight back to the food court while Leni, Lily and Luan looked at each other.

"I'm sure the stars are gonna be pretty like the New Year's fireworks." Leni commented.

"If Luna's taking her band, I'm taking Ruby, Shannon, and my boyfriend Benny along." Luan smiled. "Though it is sad Gavin isn't here to watch the stars with you."

"Nah, I can send him selfies with the stars behind me. He'll be impressed."

"But I am worried about Sam, I'm sure she'll enjoy the stars if what Carol said is true."

"If she is, should we give Luna a surprise from her girlfriend?"

Leni lidded her eyes while looking at Lily. If everything turns out great in the end, she'll make Luna and Sam's midnight the best Christmas ever. She heads back to the costume store to buy Luna and Sam outfits.

After Luna's band agreed to the plan, they began their shopping rush in the mall for the accessories, especially finishing Luan's errands. Upon leaving, the Moon Goats texted their closest friends to tag along on their journey. With one stop at Luna's place to pick up Sam's Christmas present, they made their way to the forest where Carol and Becky were heading. Chuck took the Moon Goats on the road through the forest. After the snowstorm, every tree in the forest is covered in snow to the point where Carol, Becky and others had to clear a pathway to head to the frozen lake, especially when the snow from the trees constantly fell on the ground.

Chunk parked his van on the edge of the road with the Moon Goats heading out, while taking out their accessories. "We're here." Chunk getting out from the driver's seat. "You sure this is gonna be worth it? It's still close to noon."

"We can do something by the frozen lake." Mazzy smiled.

"Then again, winter camping is like summer camping, but colder." Sully commented.

"It's still worth seeing the stars at midnight." Nina replied.

"It's gonna be awesome mate." Tabby hugging Nina.

Then Leni along with Lily, Luan, Ruby, Shannon, and the Moon Goat's friends parked Vanzilla behind the Moon Goat's van. When they got out, Leni and Luan headed straight to Luna who took out her camping gear.

"We're here!" Leni smiled.

"So this is where we're going?" Luan looked at the cleared pathway.

"It seems like it." Luna replied.

"I have to say, I'm mostly wondering what we're gonna do before midnight." Shannon walked up behind Luan.

"We could go skating, but we don't have ice skates." Sam answered. "Then again, camping in the winter is what's on my mind."

"The only thing we can do is make the best out of it." Benny commented.

"You're right." Joey added.

As Luna and the group head through the open pathway, a broadcast TV truck also parked at the edge of the road, revealing Katherine Mulligan, her niece Adeline in her baby leash and her TV crew. "This could be it." She got out of the truck. "On Christmas morning, it will be the best Christmas report any broadcast has ever seen."

As the TV crew took out the camping and broadcast equipment, they headed in the pathway to reach the frozen lake. The two miles Luna and the group took wasn't as stressful as they thought. Even if they had to carry heavy camping equipment, they made sure to put their full focus on setting up their camping spots. Nina, Tabby, Ruby, and Shannon were way in the back carrying food and drinks.

"Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the Geminid Meteor Shower, but bigger?" Shannon asked.

"It'll possibly be a once in a lifetime event, if it's true." Ruby commented.

"Hey, once in a lifetime opportunities should always be taken." Nina smiled. "Who knows, we would probably be the only people to see that during midnight."

"Those people who rejected the idea don't know what they're missing." Tabby added. "You have no idea how thrilled I am right now!"

"So am I, and I'm wondering how Luna is gonna handle this with Sam."

In the front of the group, Luna, Sam, Luan, Benny, and Leni are leading the group with much of the camping supplies. With the rest of Luna's friends from behind, Luna knew she would make it as far upon arriving. But with so much time until midnight, she not only needs to keep herself occupied, but also Sam and the others.

"Sam." Luna spoke to her girlfriend's attention.

"Yes?" Sam responded.

"When we set up our tents, what do you think we should do during our spare time?"

"Well when you showed me the map, all there was a frozen lake. There was nothing close to it aside from the tents."

"Maybe we can ask Carol or Becky when we're there." Luan replied.

"They probably went somewhere other than staying by their tents." Benny added.

"The only thing we could do since we can't go skating is hiking, but during the winter with snow?" Leni blinked. "No fashion show would approve of that."

"I still want to make a snowman!" Lily said.

"Don't worry, I promised we would do it today."

"If we find a way to do something exciting, even at the last minute, we can do it together." Luna slightly smiled.

"Okay, no matter what it is, at least we're spending Christmas together." Sam smiled back.

"Yeah, I know."

In a matter of time, they arrive by the frozen lake with the tents set up with tons of open spots. During the summer, nobody swam in the lake with other lakes slightly farther away being bigger but during the winter, the ice is stronger in smaller lakes than the bigger lakes. As the whole group walked past the tents, they saw Carol and Becky right in front of their tent.

"Luna." Carol took notice of her group's arrival.

"We're here." Luna replied.

"Where can we set up our tents?" Mazzy asked.

"Over there." Becky pointed.

"Thanks." Sully walking past.

It took them time to set their tents up along with the supplies and Christmas gifts, but with the help from Carol and Becky, they followed on really easily. With all the tents, each being shared by two people, the rest of Luna's group relaxed while having some drinks.

"So you two sleep with your winter clothes on?" Joey asked to which Carol nodded.

"Sleeping in a winter tent that isn't necessary when a regular tent is more convenient." Becky replied. "But during a snowstorm, there's a reason why winter campsites don't exist."

"Technically we're making one, but we're not running a camping business." Carol added.

"Well, at least we have the right tools to go through the night." Sam spoked.

"Though we're wondering," Luna replied. "Do you two plan to do anything until the Geminid Meteor Shower comes at midnight?"

"Nothing at all." Becky answered.

"We've been focusing on this whole winter camp along with the whole tree decorating, we just want to make sure we don't miss the stars." Carol replied.

Luna felt speechless of the lack of activities Carol and Becky do aside from winter camping. Of course her hearing about how hard setting up camp felt exaggerated. "It's not even one o'clock and we have eleven hours from now until then."

"We weren't sure okay, just because this is all your first time doesn't mean we've done this before."

"Only a few families saw the Geminid Meteor Shower in Royal Woods." Becky said. "Anyone who denies it just prefers normal camping, that's for any season except winter."

"Well, it seems you can do more in normal camping but still, we can at least do something to use up all that spare time." Sam replied. "There should be something we can do that's close to us."

When Carol looked at the map from her phone, Luna and everyone by the frozen lake saw Katherine Mulligan and her TV crew making their way. "Katherine Mulligan?" Luna blinked.

"The Moon Goats." Katherine smiled. "Didn't expect we would meet again after you performed on Kat Chat." As the TV crew moved past them to set up their winter tents, Luan and Leni, who picked up Lily, walked up next to Luna and Sam.

"Looks like the tv broadcast might be capturing the moment." Luan said.

"Correct. And in the morning, we're going back to the TV station and giving families a great Royal Woods Morning News."

"Wow, talk about doing a service for missing Christmas just for an amazing Geminid Meteor Shower experience." Leni commented.

"They already show it on TV, just not the bigger one." Joey replied.

"Anyway, I'm planning on going sightseeing with my niece soon. It may not be enough in my mind, but my crew are still setting up the TV equipment, especially our broadcast camera." Katherine said.

"I don't blame you, we've all early here." Becky commented. "Then again, we made the choice to be here rather with our families so...this is our price we have to deal with."

"Wait!" Carol called as she headed back to the group. "There's a building close by but it's on top of a hill."

"On top of a hill?" Luna responded.

"I don't know what it is but considering we have a lot of time, we can check it out."

"Perfect! I can give Adeline great sightseeing along with capturing it on video." Katherine said happily, picking up her niece.

"Well at least it's still something." Sam turned to Luna.

"I'm mostly wondering what we can do on the hill, especially the building." Luna wondered.

"Then let's go already." Sully said, standing up from the ground. While the rest of the group relax by the frozen Lake, Luna, the Moon Goats, her sisters, Carol, Becky, Benny, Katherine along with her niece and a cameraman made their way to the nearby hill. After going through the forest from the other side from where they came from, they got out where they saw the hill by the open field. It wasn't as big as they thought so they couldn't see it by the frozen lake.

Upon heading up the hill, they noticed snow steps from two people who went up there. Luna remembered the size of the snow steps, she still remembers the time she had a snow day without school, spending time with her siblings, and remembering the sizes of their footsteps. She may not be an expert like Lisa but she still knows her siblings in some aspects when it comes to size.

"We're almost there." Chunk panted.

With Luna and her siblings reaching to the top, the building is a medium size cabin with a garage on the right. It wasn't the best cabin in the world, but the most cozy at this time of year.

"It's just a cabin?" Becky took notice after reaching the top.

"Well that's a bummer." Luan commented. "But I wonder who's inside."

"Let's not bother them." Sam replied. "If they're staying for the Geminid Meteor Shower, they really rented the money here and not wasted a cent of it."

"I would do the same to be honest." Carol said.

When Luna followed the snow steps from the left side of the cabin, she saw two kids on the edge of the hill, but one of them she recognized very well. "Bro?"

The kid turned around after hearing the B word from someone who calls him that everytime. "Luna?"

"Lincoln!" Luna smiled as she ran up to him. "I didn't expect to spend my Christmas to see you." She then saw Girl Jordan and was surprised to see her. "And your happy Christmas angel." She lidded her eyes, causing her brother to blush.

"Hey, I also didn't expect to meet you out here to see the stars." Lincoln reacted.

"Lincoln, everyone called me and my friends Christmas angels." Girl Jordan said, walking up next to him.

"I even heard when you and her were video chatting, she called you the Gildor Elf." Leni smiled as Lily giggled.

"Guys stop!" Lincoln continued to blush harder.

"Aww! You didn't tell me?" Luan looking at Leni. "I could've come up with a great pun."

"Okay, everyone give him a break." Carol chiming in. "Lincoln and Girl Jordan were the ones Lori talked about and they agreed."

"We were planning on just spending Christmas apart since we did a lot this month, but Girl Jordan wanted to see the stars with me tonight, so here I am." Lincoln presented himself.

"Geez, everyone has last minute decisions." Benny commented.

"It's still our first time watching the Geminid Meteor Shower together with it being bigger than normal. I can't imagine how breathtaking it will be." Girl Jordan replied.

As Katherine and her cameraman reached the top of the hill, her niece cheered from the view on all sides. "This is perfect!" She smiled. "Get the camera ready!"

Luna, Carol, and Lincoln walked up from the edge of the hill while looking at the view in the distance. Nina went past the group to see Luna next to her brother while Girl Jordan took notice. "Is that a new member of your band?" Girl Jordan asked.

"Well, temporary member." Sam answered.

"She looks really cool."

"Thanks, I don't usually get those compliments from fans." Nina smiled.

"Hey, even non-fans can give out honest gestures." Sully added.

"Though I'm wondering what's with the cabin here."

When the group turned to the cottage itself, they agreed with what Sam said but when Sam got close to the window, she noticed it's empty in the living room. "I don't think anyone's here."

"Really?" Girl Jordan seeing through the window. "Yeah, there's no one inside?"

"But it doesn't look dusty at all." Nina also joined in.

Mazzy reached to the front door to open it, but found it to be locked. "We still need a key though."

"What about the garage?" Joey pointed. "Because I don't think it's very heavy, we might push the garage door up."

"Yeah, let's give it a try." Tabby cheered as the group headed to the garage.

Back from the edge of the hill, Luna told Lincoln everything on why she and her band are here. Of course Lincoln would've been in the same position as her sister but his relationship with Girl Jordan isn't the same as Sam's.

"Luna, when you say this is your first time spending Christmas with Sam, did you expect more from it?" Lincoln asked.

"Everyone wants their first Christmas with someone more than better." Luna replied. "If ice skating was my option, I would still want more from it."

"Even me and Becky, which is why we decorated the trees by the frozen lake." Carol added.

"Well, I can't say I would've felt the same way. Girl Jordan wanted to do more before we came here." Lincoln looked in the distance.

"Hey, the only thing I remember from last year is you and her having turtle doves. Don't act like she missed Christmas when she was born."

Lincoln turned to his sister after hearing the complement. "It did feel like that."

"Hey, I didn't get a chance to sit on Santa's lap until I was seven." Carol retorted. "When do you get a chance to sit on his lap?"

"Four years old?"

"Exactly!"

"What? I wasn't rubbing it in your face."

This causes Carol to lean down face to face with Lincoln. "Kids do that when they get their chance. They're not like my friends."

"Was it a bad experience?"

"We all grew up thinking that Santa was real." Carol leaned back while noticing that everyone except Katherine and her cameraman were gone. "Where is everybody?"

The three headed to the front of the cabin and saw Nina, Girl Jordan, Tabby, Sully, and Mazzy push the garage opener up. "We got it!" Nina smiled while they witnessed the inside.

"There's tons of sleighs in here." Tabby looking at the stack of sleighs.

"We can definitely slide down the hill with these." Girl Jordan smiled.

When Luna, Carol, and Lincoln headed to the front of the garage, Nina and the others took one medium size sleigh and walked past them. "There's sleighs inside?" Luna reacted.

"Yeah, we can ride down the hill to pass the time." Sam replied.

"That's actually really great." Lincoln jumped in thrilled. "I'll help you carry the sleigh Girl Jordan." He heads to ad Girl Jordan as most of the sleighs, small and medium, are out of the garage.

"You're thinking about sliding down with Sam?" Carol asked while they saw Sam taking another medium size sleigh out. "It's not skiing, but it's still riding down the hill."

"I do, it's just..." Luna stepped into the garage. "It's not the Christmas moment I wanted with her. Midnight is the moment, but sleighing isn't really what I had in mind to pass the time."

"It's not like it's wasting your time." Carol walked next to her. "I make the best out of using my time on anything that comes my way."

"That's easy for you to say, all I have is my gift to her."

Carol turned around to see Sam nowhere in her sight, outside of the garage. "What did you bring her?" She turned back to Luna.

"A light blue and yellow rockstar guitar pendant." Luna answered. "I couldn't find anything better like a new guitar or something else, so I went to the jewelry store where I found the pendant."

"That's...really unlikely of you to do that."

"I didn't get the choice to go out of Royal Woods. The women who worked there stated that the pendent's rare and I was lucky that they had her name on top of the guitar." When she took a deep breath, Nina overheard everything while hiding by the garage door.

Just when Luna headed out, Nina got out of the way while heading inside. She wanted to make things better between her and Sam, but it requires a lot more for them to spend quality time. But when she turned around, she saw two pairs of ice skates that are the right sizes for Luna and Sam. "This is perfect for her and Sam."

She headed to Katherine who her cameraman finished setting up and preparing to record. When she slightly pulled on her winter jacket, Katherine took notice as Nina whispered into her eye. Katherine liked the idea so much, she was willing to have it included on television. "I like the way you think, kid." She smiled.

Nina headed back to the group who all set up their sleighs. She shared a sleigh with Tabby from the front and Becky from the back. Leni, Luan, and Benny all shared one with Lily in front. Carol shared hers with Lincoln and Girl Jordan with her right in front of them, Chuck had his own sleigh for himself, Sully and Mazzy all shared one as Luna and Sam sat on their own sleigh.

"Are we all ready?" Carol asked, holding onto Lincoln.

"I'm ready when you are." Mazzy responded.

"We can do this as many times as we want, we have a lot of time." Becky added.

"This is gonna be exciting." Sam responded. "I did this with my brother last year, but not on this high of a hill."

When Luna looked straight down, it was a bigger hill then expected. If people walked up here, they're would be no way of them sliding down. "Yeah, he'll probably be exhausted by going up the hill several times."

"Would you?" Sam turned to Luna.

"Probably, if the hill wasn't so big."

"You'll be like my brother, even though you're in shape."

With everyone in their sleighs, they pushed them down the hill with Leni and Carol's coming down first. Becky and Sully came second while Luna and Chuck's came down last. "See you at the bottom, mates!" He called while sliding down.

The speed of Luna and Sam's sleigh due to the height of the hill was beyond what they expected. The two tried to hold on with the speed of their sleigh being much faster. They went past Becky which took her and the others by surprise.

"Whoa!" Becky reacted.

"They're going down fast!" Tabby shouted.

Soon Luna and Sam went past Benny and the Loud sisters. "Luuuunaaa!" Lily pointed and just in the nick of time, she received a high five from Luna.

"Wow, they're going really fast." Benny reacted.

"They're coming up by Carol." Leni replied.

When Carol, Lincoln, and Girl Jordan are focused on the end of the hill, they didn't pay attention to Luna and Sam who went flying past them. Just when they saw them, they reached the end of the hill with their sleighs slowing down. Luna and Sam turned their sleighs to the right to stop as the others stopped their sleighs.

"You beat us!" Lincoln getting out of the sleigh.

"We thought we would've been the first to stop." Girl Jordan added.

"I guess we were lighter than all of you." Sam giggled. "It's disappointing, but it's still not a race."

"And it was still fun!" Luna said. "If Lana was here sliding with Bobbie Fletcher, I would love to see the look on her face."

"Hmm, confident are you?" Carol smiled while raising an eyebrow. "If you participate in the skiing event at the olympics, let's see who's the more confident one."

With the other people stopping, they were amazed to see Luna and Sam sliding past them. "That was amazing!" Luan getting out of her sleigh.

"I want to do it again!" Tabby reacted.

"Should we get the others to slide down?" Leni offered.

"Sure if you go get them." Chuck picking his sleigh up.

The group continued to go back up the hill and slide down. Leni went back to the frozen lake and brought more people to join in. For the next hour, they continued to slide down the hill while Katherine recorded them. Not long until she and her niece took a turn, sliding down with Adeline cheering in excitement. Luna and Sam were having a blast sliding down multiple times. When everyone took their final slide down the hill, they reached back up to return the sleighs in the garage while heading back to the frozen lake. However when Nina became the last person to put her sleigh back, she took the two pairs of ice skates and followed the group.

When they made their way back to the frozen lake, they decide to take a break with the amount of time they still have. Nina sneakily went into her tent to keep the pair of ice skates a secret from Luna and Sam. But after she got out, Luan, Leni, Lincoln, and Lily spotted her.

"Were you carrying something?" Lincoln replied.

"Yes, but it's a surprise." Nina answered.

"Oh, that's totes a coincidence, because we already have a surprise for our sister Lu-" Luan covered Leni's mouth.

"Leni, don't blurt it out loud." Luan said.

"You also have a surprise?" Nina blinked.

"Yes?"

"What's this all about?" Lincoln replied.

With Lincoln being the only one not keeping secrets, the rock girl and sisters had to confess to each other. "We brought Christmas outfits for Luna and Sam." Leni answered.

"And I was carrying two pairs of ice skates from that hill we just went on." Nina answered. "It's mainly for Luna and Sam."

"As in, the two skating together on the frozen lake?" Lincoln asked as Nina nodded. Lincoln wanted to help out his rock and roll sister, but for how his sisters and Nina were setting everything up in secret, he wondered how Luna would react upon the moment's arrival.

"We've brought dresses for Luna being dressed up as Mrs. Claus while...it's a surprise for what Sam's gonna wear." Leni confessed.

"The Geminid Meteor Shower didn't feel like enough for her, so we wanted to make it better. It's almost a Christmas miracle she hasn't found out yet." Luan commented. "Then again, we didn't even prepare for the two at the last minute."

"Seems you didn't think of the idea of them skating together." Lincoln said, catching on to what was going on.

"If we did, we would've planned everything out. But I couldn't afford two pairs of ice skates." Leni said.

"If I took that opportunity alone, it would take me weeks, maybe even months to make it work between her and Sam." Nina commented.

When Lincoln looks at Luna who's hanging out with her band, including Sam, there's still lots of time before midnight arrives. Even with the trees decorated, he may find a way to make Luna's Christmas with Sam better.

"Be right back." Lincoln saw Girl Jordan hanging out Carol and Becky who were testing the Christmas lights. When he got her attention from behind, he whispered into her ear while keeping an eye on Luna and Sam not spotting him. Girl Jordan found the idea perfect as she joined in on Lincoln's plan. When they come back to the sisters and Nina, there's only one way to make Luna's Christmas better. "Let's do some more errands."

"Perfect." Nina agreed.

"Let's get this show on the road." Luan smiled.

"I can drive...but I'm low on payments." Leni added while Lily giggled.

Lincoln, his sisters, Girl Jordan and Nina, made their way to the exit from where they came from, only for Luna to take notice. "Hey!" Luna called as she walked up to them. "Where are you all going?"

"More sightseeing, since we still have lots of time before the meteor shower."

"We'll be back before night time." Luan said.

"We're mostly impatient, staying here isn't gonna occupy us for that long." Nina replied.

"I don't blame you, but I'm not risking the chances of missing the meteor shower at midnight." Luna looked up at the sky. "Hope you all get back."

"We will." Leni spoked.

The group headed back to Vanzilla to drive to stores outside of the forest. It took them to four separate stores to search for the stuff they're looking for. It took them all afternoon, but they managed to get everything that they needed. During their trip, Girl Jordan came up with an idea that'll make Sam more pleased when it eventually happens, just like what Lincoln did for her last year.

Nina managed to rent more pairs of ice skates for the people by the frozen lake for one night, but at the same time, she'll do more with them knowing that Katherine Mulligan wants her Christmas report to be memorable. Of course, she doesn't want everyone to stay off of the frozen lake, leaving Luna and Sam all alone before the meteor shower arrives.

By the time they headed back, it was starting to get dark out with the sun setting below the horizon. Even with only six hours left until the moment itself arrives, they still have enough time to set up the moment between Luna and Sam. Luan texted her boyfriend, Ruby, and Shannon on their plan for Luna, to which they accepted. Upon arriving back by the frozen lake, most of the trees around are lit up with each tree having one set of colors while some have multiple colors. It wasn't the best Carol and Becky set up, but for their first time, they at least contributed.

Luna and Sam both came out of their tents while taking notice of her brother, sisters and Nina coming back. They both walked up to them after five hours being away as Luna's becoming inpatient despite keeping on track of time. "You're finally back." Luna replied.

"I told you we'd be back by nightfall." Luan replied.

"Is there anything else you're gonna do until midnight?" Girl Jordan asked.

"Not much, we did spend time with the band performing songs...despite no instruments." Sam said.

When the group turned to the frozen lake, Luan and Nina turned to Benny who popped his head out of the tent. "That's good, hey Sam, is it okay if you can do an activity with Luan's friends?" Nina pointed at the tent just as Benny got back in.

"Sure, it'll keep me occupied for a little while." Sam made her way to the tent.

"Speaking of activities, me and the Moon Goats are all out of options. Then again the whole meteor shower is really testing my patience."

"Then how about we do something together in our tent?" Leni offered and Lily cheered.

"Even sisters need to keep themselves occupied." Luan smiled.

"Okay." Luna smiled as she and her sisters headed into their tent.

"Okay, you two tell everyone about our plan, but remind them to not tell Luna and Sam." Nina spoke to the preteens.

"We got everything under control." Lincoln smiled.

"Especially the unexpected moments." Girl Jordan lidded her eyes.

Lincoln and Girl Jordan reached everyone by the frozen lake, while Nina hid the surprises behind one of the tents when the moment arrived. For the next five hours, it's getting close to midnight, just thirty minutes away. It was a quiet time while Luna and Sam remained inside their tents. Carol and Becky looked up at the sky with tons of stars.

"The meteor shower should be coming in half an hour." Becky commented.

"The meteors from last week were smaller, but bigger?" Carol wondered. "Science and the solar system can be unpredictable."

"At least it's not an asteroid crashing into earth at unpredictable speed levels."

Katherine and her crew are at their tv set up, while Katherine is keeping her niece occupied. Everyone who's outside of their tents are waiting for the meteors to come past them, all except Luna, Sam, her sisters and Luan's boyfriend and friends.

"Wow, this Christmas outfit is perfect for me." Luna looking at her reflection from Leni's mirror.

"Does it take you back to your childhood?" Leni smiled.

"Yeah, minus the sparkles. And the ice stakes." Luna looked down at her boots.

"Don't worry, I've heard that the ice in the lake is really strong, thanks to the snowstorm." Luan added.

"You mean you want me to ice skate on the frozen lake?"

"It's not hard to get used to."

"What about Sam, is she also gonna ice skate?"

"Yep." Leni replied. "I bet she'll be surprised when she sees you in that outfit."

Luna can tell where this is going, but not catching on completely on her sister's plan. Especially since her girlfriend Sam is in the other tent hanging out with Luan's classmates. In the other tent, Ruby and Shannon took their time to put Sam in her outfit, but compared to Luna's, it was a bit harder to do.

"Is this really necessary? It's really cold outside." Sam said while shaking.

"It's only for tonight." Benny replied.

"Besides, doesn't it look great?" Ruby commented.

"I'm not gonna lie, it makes me stand out as a beautiful girl during the Christmas season." Sam looked at her outfit.

"If only we could rent them for Theatre Club plays." Shannon said, being mesmerized at the outfit.

"I'm still on the fence with the whole ice skating thing. I did take lessons, especially pairing with a partner, but on the frozen lake, aren't other people gonna ice skate?"

"In a little bit." Ruby answered. "Trust us, you won't regret this."

"It's just, I thought this would've been an appropriate time to do it earlier than thirty minutes before the shower starts."

"It's not like you're gonna miss it when you're outside like everyone else."

"I can guarantee that you won't fall when the meteors shoot past." Benny said. "If you're good at ice skating, you should be able to keep your balance with your partner."

Sam soon picked up the pieces with one more question in mind. "Who is my partner, by the way?"

"Take a wild guess." Both Ruby and Shannon smiled while Sam lidded her eyes. By the look on their faces, she won't jinx the moment of the partner she's skating with.

Back outside, Lincoln and Girl Jordan stand together in front of Luna's tent while Nina and Joey stand together in front of Sam's tent. fifteen minutes have passed with only fifteen minutes until midnight. With the people in Royal Woods sleeping until Christmas morning, people by the frozen lake aren't wasting their opportunity. A difficult night for first timers, but worth the wait. The Moon Goats along with their friends are sitting as a group, staying on time but also witnessing an ice skating show like from TV but by teenagers.

Luan popped her head out of her tent while Benny popped his head out of his. They gave each other a thumbs up while turning to Lincoln and Nina, giving them the thumbs up indicating that Luna and Sam are ready. Upon the signal, Lincoln and Girl Jordan lifted up a red curtain with pulls on each end to prevent Luna having eye contact with Sam. As for Nina and Joey, they have a white curtain to do the same with Sam.

Carol and Becky took notice of Luna coming out, they've heard about what Lincoln told them earlier and they're gonna join in on the view. "Would you be willing to give two of them an announcement? Like from an ice skating show?" Becky asked.

"Keeping them anonymous makes the show better, this isn't professional ice skating." Carol replied.

Luan and Leni helped Luna stepping on the frozen lake due to her ice skates. With Sam getting the assistance from Ruby and Shannon, the two groups reached the center of the lake and crossed paths. They remain still with Leni and Luan letting go of Luna. "You're ready for this?" Luan backed away.

"I think I can handle this from here." Luna grinned. "I'll love the look on Sam's face when she sees me in this." Sam quietly giggled with Ruby, after hearing what Luna just said. In the right moment, Lincoln and Girl Jordan moved out of the way with their curtain while Nina and Joey did the same. "Merry Christmas Sa-"

Upon seeing Sam in full view, she cut herself off, with her heart pounding. Sam wore an ice crystal sequin patterned outfit, being much more shiny compared to Luna's. Even without any make up, she still stands out more beautiful than Luna, who's the only person wearing a Santa hat. "Ha, Merry Christmas Luna." She giggled.

"That...outfit...is gorgeous!" Luna reacted. "I never thought I would ever say that!"

"And your outfit is adorable."

Luna was shaking, while Leni and Luan kept an eye on her in case she fell over. "Just stay in the moment." Luan leaned towards her sister.

"And backing out is the last thing people do during Christmas." Leni added.

"I'm aware." Luna responded.

"We should let them take it from here." Shannon replied.

"Okay." Ruby smiled. "The lake's all yours."

With the girls getting off the frozen lake, Luna and Sam stared at each other. With the sky filled with stars, Sam took Luna's hand as she moved herself, skating with Luna behind her. Luna saw the way Sam skated from the movements of her legs. She kept her balance as Sam turned to her right.

"It's not skiing, but it's still something." Luna is still distracted from Sam's dress.

"Don't worry, this is just for fun, I'm not expecting you to be an expert." Sam replied. "If we were skiing on a hill, I wouldn't want to see you do a flip of some sort, because you would end up crashing down."

"I've been thinking the same thing."

"Then again, I would've crashed if I was trying to save you."

"Still would do the same thing."

The two giggled while they continued to skate on the ice. With the tree lights glowing around the frozen lake, it felt like skating through a garden at a holiday light show. Even in staying in one place, Sam couldn't believe how hard Carol and Becky worked by decorating the trees. Luna may seem better when it comes to decorations, but she can't deny the place itself is beautiful.

"I want to know." Sam spoked. "I know we're gonna do well in the new year but...what do you bring me for Christmas?"

Luna didn't forget to bring Sam's gift, but on the other hand, she was planning to give it to her on Christmas morning after making the choice to sleep inside her tent. "Do you want me to give it to you now, instead of in the morning?"

"It's almost Christmas, besides, I'm willing to give you mine."

From the gesture of her girlfriend's holiday spirit, Luna made up her mind as she let go of Sam. She made her way to the Moon Goats with Sam stopping herself. "Go get my gift to Sam and hers to me, we're gonna open them tonight."

"No problem." Sully replied, heading into their tents.

"I'm gonna love to see this." Chunk crossing his arms.

"So do we all." Mazzy added as she gets Sam's gift. In no time, Sully and Mazzy got out Luna and Sam's gifts to each other. Upon giving them to Luna, Luna skated back to Sam and handed her gift to her. Katherine and her crew are recording every second of Luna and Sam's skating on the frozen lake and now, they're having the moment together. "This is gonna break ratings for teenage Christmas spirit!" Katherine cheered. "Zoom in on them!" The cameraman followed Katherine's order as the camera zoomed in on Luna and Sam.

"I want to open mine before you open yours." Luna replied.

"Okay." Sam smiled.

While standing still, Luna opened up her gift. Upon ripping the wrapping paper, they're Mick Swagger style headphones with Mick Swagger's face sticking out. "Mick Swagger headphones?" Luna smiled.

"I knew they were rare to find, so me and my mom searched outside of Royal Roods to find them. You can't imagine how hard it was to find them."

The appreciation of searching for a rare gift made Luna impressed, but at the same time, she couldn't do the same by going out of Royal Woods. "Speaking of Royal Woods, my gift isn't from out of town. But I did what I could to find something you'll enjoy."

"It's fine." As Sam looked at her gift, it's smaller compared to Luna's. She did receive smaller gifts in her life especially from her birthdays, but never expected one from Luna. Luna paid attention to Sam as she ripped the wrapping paper from her fingers. With the wrapping paper off, it's revealed to be a small box exclusive to necklaces which took her off guard. She took the top of the box off and saw the guitar pendant.

"Is that...a rockstar pendant...with my favorite colors?" She stuns in disbelief.

"It was mostly a last minute choice, I couldn't think of anything else." Luna slightly smiled. "I was thinking of picking out jewelry and I came across that."

Sam took the pendant out of the box and found it mesmerizing. Thanks to the Christmas lights all around, the reflections on the pendant were beyond beautiful. The guitar, while not the real thing, is fully detailed, as if there wasn't a single spot that was off. When she put the chain on her neck, it was better than how Luna imagined it in her mind.

"So...do you find it good?" Luna asked.

"It's more than good. It's perfect." Sam turned to Luna. "I'm not really into jewelry, but this really fits me."

Meanwhile, Nina checked on her watch that it was close to midnight, it was time for her to head behind the tents. With her running past Lincoln and Girl Jordan, it was also they're clue to do their own thing to make Luna's moment with Sam better.

"I'm glad that you like it." Luna smiled.

"I'll try to find one similar to this, but with your colors."

"I can help you with that, we don't have to wait until my birthday, that's still eight months away."

"Hey, it could be our new year's resolution together."

"Yeah."

Little did they know when they looked above themselves, a mistletoe was hanging above them. Lincoln and Girl Jordan together were holding onto a very long stick that the mistletoe is attached to the end. When they both looked at each other, Luna blushed hard. She kissed Sam a few times, but only on the cheek.

Sam also blushed, but not as hard as her girlfriend. At the same time, she's been thinking about receiving Luna a favor for the good things she did for her, especially today on Christmas Eve. She placed both of her hands on Luna's shoulders which caught her attention, but she didn't lid her eyes. She only looked straight into Luna's eyes so she could pay attention to her. Luna slowly closed her eyes, staying in the moment without anyone in the way.

"Merry Christmas...Luna." Sam closed her eyes and pressed her lips against Luna. She wrapped her arms around her while lifting her leg up. Luna grabbed Sam's body, preventing her from falling but her body is in another level of emotions. She shaked with her heart pounding, but Sam placed her hand on her back to calm her down.

Nina then rushed out from the back of the tents after setting off the surprise. Fireworks flew above the frozen lake, to the sky and exploded. It was also around the time where midnight of Christmas had arrived with shooting stars of The Geminid Meteor Shower. With them being bigger than before, they're in colors of blue, yellow, and purple. Both Luna and Sam opened their eyes while containing their kiss, with the decorated lights, fireworks, and the shooting stars on Christmas, they looked at each other again, and closed their eyes as they savored their best Christmas moment of their lives.

Everyone adored the moment, Tabby whistled from the moment she's witnessing Carol was more impressed with Luna while Katherine found the jackpot of all jackpots for her Christmas report. "You're aware that lesbian kissing isn't allowed on news broadcasts, right?" Her cameraman replied.

"Don't bring in oversensitive censorship!" Katherine leans towards the cameraman. "The LGBTQ community deserve a wonderful Christmas moment from their eyes!"2

After a solid minute, Luna and Sam broke the kiss as the fireworks stopped. They were more satisfied than they thought as Luna breathed after holding her breath. Upon letting the air out, she and Sam made their way off of the frozen lake. "Best Christmas ever!"

"That was amazing!" Mazzy cheered.

"Best romantic Christmas moment ever." Ruby added.

"I'll never stop putting mistletoes above couples during the holidays." Girl Jordan lidded her eyes.

"You really pulled a deja vu from last year little bro." Luna rubbed on Lincoln's hair.

"Wasn't planning on it, but I wasn't just gonna stand here and just watch the stars." Lincoln giggled. "Man with a plan love's out of nowhere goals."

"And besides, this Christmas is all about you and Sam." Luan commented.

"True, but Christmas is all about all of us." Sam replied. "I wanted to thank all of you for this."

"Really appreciated." Luna added.

Carol walked up by Luna, clapping from her and Sam's moment. "If this was part of a movie, you two would win an award for best kiss." She smiled.

"Couldn't agree more." Becky added.

"Anyway..." Nina went past the Moon Goats as she showed everyone her rented box of ice skates with Joey helping her out. "Who's ready to ice skate?"

Everyone cheered as they got a pair out from the box. In no time, everyone got on the frozen lake as they all skated. It felt like ice skating from the big city despite having no buildings, but the holiday feeling is still there, untouched and unchanged. The people who didn't ice skate are Luna, Sam, and Nina, sitting together, watching the people skate while The Geminid Meteor Shower is still shooting meteors from above.

"Aren't you gonna join in?" Sam asked.

"In a little bit." Nina answered.

"Is it because you planned most of this?" Luna guessed and Nina nodded. "You and the others weren't sightseeing, were you?"

"You're already catching on?"

"The moment came and went uninterrupted, this isn't seventh grade knowledge."

"I kind of knew it was a set up, but I wasn't gonna spoil anyone's Christmas errands." Sam giggled.

"Then I'm ahead of seventh grade education." Nina said.

"You bet." Luna taking off her Santa hat. "Nina, for you being an honorary member of our band, you proved to me that you really enjoyed us when we were just enjoying ourselves."

"Well I know bands do more than just gigs."

"Isn't it really a surprise, you've been with us for awhile, you already knew that." Sam replied.

"It's still the truth of them all. It was more than an honor to join your band. And as a person who adores Christmas, an honorary member shares holiday cheer to their closest members."

This causes Luna to roll her eyes, while smiling after months of getting to know Nina. "You're my friend rock star rookie." She wrapped her arm around her shoulder. "I think your new year's resolution is to write one song that can blow me away. No matter how long it takes."

"You're really giving me that honor?"

"Who knows."

"Possibly." Sam commented. "If it's a hit, you could write more songs."

"I will listen to them until the day I die."

"Okay!" Nina cheered. "I also have something for you two." She stood up while opening her backpack. She took out two bags of Christmas Snickerdoodles and gave them to Luna and Sam. "I don't have a lot for everyone, but I wasn't gonna forget about you two."

"Christmas Snickerdoodles?" Sam receives the snack.

"I would've passed them out, no matter what Christmas dessert it is." Luna taking one snickerdoodle out, taking a bite from it. "Thanks Nina."

"You're welcome." Nina smiled. "By the way, I need to return those ice skates back to that cabin."

"We'll do it in the morning. Enjoy ice skating."

Nina put on her ice skates as she joined the others on the frozen lake. "Should we join?" Sam offered.

"In five more minutes. I'm still satisfied from...you know."

"I'm also satisfied, but Christmas has arrived." She stood up while putting her beg in her tent. "And I'm not tired of ice skating again with my girlfriend."

Luna blushed again, while standing up. "Okay then." She took Sam's hand as they both got on the frozen lake. Nearly everyone had the best experience from The Geminid Meteor Shower after waiting half a day to witness it. Less and less stars appear but no one misses the moment they can all remember. Especially when more people see it on TV.

"I love Christmas." Katherine smiled as she joined in on the ice skating with her niece. "I'm just waiting to see the news reporters all around the world jealous of my ice skating skills."

Revival AU notes/Headcanons part 4

((Are we doing this again? yes we are!

Sorry it’s been awhile since the last one, my computer wouldn’t let Tumblr work anymore, broke my old iPad, opened up my other one, and just got a new computer all set up. My dad’s gonna be using my old Mac Mini until he can get a new one. I’m just glad to be back and writing headcanons for this crazy AU. especially after where I left off last time.

This’ll pick up after what happened in MAR10 Day btw))

** Regarding the stream, and Garcy’s whereabouts, Garcello hides in the park, away from everyone else from Saturday to Sunday, watching the stream

** despite what SMG4 said, Gar can’t keep away from making sure he’s okay, having a feeling he knows what’s he’s going through.

**Sunday night, Meggy finds him, worried out of her mind, as Axol begged her to help him find Garcello.

**the two hug and Meggy takes Gar back to her place to clean up, where Mario’s been staying.

** Mario shows Garcy what the main event was, which hurts to see.

** the others, minus SMG3, show up, see Gar, and hug, thankful he’s okay.

** Meggy, Mario, and the others find out that Garcello’s been keeping an eye on SMG4 via the stream, when Annie asked why, he tells them “I’m worried about him, I’ve seen this behavior before.”

** SMG3 stops by, sees Garcy, and they hug.

** after the upgrades to SMG3, SMG4, Boopkins, and Meggy, along with the takeover from the castle, Gar, Niles, and Axol help, along with Steven and Glitchy Red.

** Niles and Garcy get pulled into the castle with SMG3, Meggy, and Mario.

** During the moments upstairs, after SMG3 laments about how he knows how SMG4′s feeling regarding SMG4′s thoughts, Niles is reminded of what happened in Revelations, wanting the perfect universe, bringing him to tears.

**Three and Meggy comfort him.

** Garcello remembers what happened with Lucks and Sheridan, even himself once, regarding his smoking before he died. He however says nothing.

** During the final encounter with SMG4 while he’s under Winston’s control (I think everyone’s calling the TV Adware creature Winston so I will too) SMG3, Niles, Mario, and Meggy say their pieces, Garcello however tells him he’s been in his position, knowing he has people that care about him, which is more important than any video.

** SMG4 still breaks through in the end.

**Meggy, Niles and Mario escape the castle, Garcello runs back with SMG3 after Four.

** Gar helps the two finish the video

** *the three escape and cling to the side, with Three reminding Four they’re (boy)friends, saving the two.

** Garcello climbs up himself, with Three and Fours help, getting hugged by everyone else.

** In between “It’s Gotta Be Perfect” and “My Roommate Mario” Garcello lets SMG4 stay with him for a week.

** During that week, SMG4 is apologetic for what he said while crazy on MAR10 Day, and keeps trying to make up for it throughout the week. This includes doing the chores all over the house, making dinner, and kinda overworking himself again.

** Garcello does intervene and just hugs him, explaining he knows what he went through again.

** their interaction during this: SMG4: Gar, I... I hurt you... why don’t you hate me? Garcello: .... Four... I know you weren’t in the right state of mind. SMG4: .... I wish I could take it back... *clings to him* you’re my friend... *tears up* .... I’m glad to have you in my life Garcy... I’m so sorry! *SMG4′s crying and clinging to him* Garcello: *holds him, let’s him cry*

**Garcello does forgive SMG4, by the two having a rap battle. Four accepts.

** Fun times all around.

** The guys all settle in to the Showgrounds.

((now onto other important matters))

** as of March, SMG1 and SMG2 are now engaged to be married

** the other engaged couples know 3 and 4 are next.

** Terrance and Eggdog seem to cuddle with SMG3 while he sleeps, which he doesn’t mind.

** SMG4 often gets called Jelly Bean by Ruby, mostly because he can be a bean at times.

** much like with SMG1 calling SMG2 Gumdrop thanks to Garcello, SMG3 starts calling SMG4 Jelly Bean, thanks to Ruby.

** SMG1 does get a pet name from Two, that being Bubble Gum (if you think about it, SMG1 kinda looks like a piece of blue bubble gum)

** Because of his “spicy” attitude, SMG4 calls Three “Cinnamon” to be cute. It always makes Three all flustered.

** SMG3 is best Tsundere, change my mind.

** As of the Easter story, Garcello has reunited with Masa

** While Meggy isn’t the best cook, she does watch cooking shows with Garcello from time to time, same for Desti

** Desti can’t cook either, sadly.

** Kaizo and Mario are both scared of Annie’s Liquid form

** Steven can control his “Inner Madness” aka S!3v3n, but if he’s provoked, or someone says something that’s considered, “Too far” Steven will lose control and black out.

** Mario learned this the hard way once, and is scared of S!3v3n

** Unfortunately, so is Niles (Yellow gave me the idea in her Ask the Gang series)

** BF and GF reunited with Garcello, a rematch was held.

** Mario has a tendency to T-pose when spaghetti’s mentioned.

** Bob and Birdo are dating, Swag’s married to Sonic, meanwhile Mario still gets no bitches.

((that’s all I have right now, but more is to come later down the line guys. thank you!))

Tysm for the tag @formula-red and @ellearts

Get to know your mutuals tag:

1. Are you named after anyone?

Yes! I'm named after some family member, my great great grandmother I think? My full name is Catherine

2. When was the last time you cried?

The other night, I kept crying on and off but I've been with people almost constantly so it's hard. I still feel somewhat homesick but it's getting better 👍

3. Do you have kids?

Nope, and not interested

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Practically constantly, I absolutely love it. My family is extremely sarcastic and so I do it with them all the time, and it's impossible for that to not bleed into my conversations with other people

5. What sports do you play/have played?

None right now. I think I played soccer as a kid? And I don't know if it technically counts but I was in marching band during high school which was a lot of fun but also a lot of work.

6. What's the first thing you notice about other people?

This is probably weird but I'm super interested in how conversations work, and I can't help but notice whether people take a leading role or following role in conversation, if that makes sense? Like people who are content to listen vs. people who want to lead the conversation

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings probably? Imo most horror movies don't end well, and I mean about the quality. Like yeah you'll find it scary and them inevitably, something silly will happen that just ruins any sense of fear you had

8. Any special talents?

Hard to say, I can't really think of any atm. I think I'm pretty good at guessing what animals are which?

9. Where were you born?

Not gonna go into specifics 🤭 but honestly I've never moved and I live probably like 20 minutes or so from the hospital I was born in. You guys can probably guess by now which country I'm from lol

10. What are your hobbies?

F1 first and foremost(watching, downloading pics, gifing, studying lol), reading fanfic, drawing(but not so much lately, perpetually burnt-out), photography(I've taken so many pictures in the past 2 days)

11. Do you have any pets?

Yes! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. My cats are two tabby boys named Jin(or Jinnie) and Frank(originally Francis.) And my dogs are named Maisie and Ruby. Omg tho about Maisie. My mom named her after this book detective named Maisie Dobbs, right? So when we were making the dogtag, we put "Maisie Doggs", it still makes me laugh whenever I think about it.

12. How tall are you?

Around 5'4, and I'm sorry, but I don't know the metric equivalent 😭

13. Fav subject in school?

Why did my mind first go back to highschool??? But I guess I'd say my Russian class. I like my other classes but Russian is probably the most fun because it's very laid back and everyone in the class now knows each other pretty well! We were all making sure we could stick together for next semester, to the point of changing out schedules 😭

14. Dream job?

Not sure honestly. It's hard because I have ideas for like actual legitimate jobs that I'm working towards, but sometimes can't help but be like: "ah but what if I were a photographer? What if I were a race car driver? etc" But realistically, probably something in the government

15. Eye color?

Brown, not super dark but not really light either

I'd tag people but I think I've seen like literally everyone on my dash doing this, so if anyone wants to, you can use my post :D

#oh my god ive barely had any time to use tumblr #writing this at like 7 am before we have to go eat breakfast #these answers prob arent the best bcs im just a little braindead #or not braindead but overwhelmed ig #theres a lot going on #BUT OMG GUYS ONE OF THE GUYS ON THIS TRIP IS SUPER INTO F1!!!!!!!!!#ill talk abt it more soon #ty jd and elle for the tags!!#catie.rambling.txt

Thoughts During RWBY V9x10 Of Solitude and Self

AHHHHHH! Man can’t believe it’s already here! Let’s get started!

ITS 26 MINUTES!??!?!

More Summer! And wow that’s such a pretty illustration!

Oh wow, we’re actually getting a lot more.... I feel a gut punch coming.

RAVEN!!!! OH MY GOD WORST MOM HOW ARE YOU!??!? I’VE MISSED YOU!!!! Finally some hint into their dynamic! So Raven knew what Summer was doing?

And Ruby is seeing all of this.... Ruby baby....

Oh hey! Alyx gets a voice! It’s a hallucination created by Herb seemingly but still this is cool. Sounds a little like Anairis...

Oh! Neo’s free!

OH MAN FINAL BOSS FORM!!

There went Jaune’s aura!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The reaction my body just had to hearing the first notes of Red Like Roses! Chills and excitement just rushed through me in one fell swoop!

OH MY GOD THAT SHOT!

TEAM RWBY WHOLE AND FIGHTING TOGETHER AGAIN!!!! NOW I JUST NEED MY TEARY MESS OF A REUNION!!! ....After the fight I mean!

Ok...well... Does it still count if it’s Neo’s illusion of a Jabberwalker that does it?

So... Are we leaving her here or taking her with us? Let’s see how they play this... I mean... Neo just did some seriously messed up stuff. I don’t see redemption on the table but....

Okay... I can live with this. Neo working on her own metamorphosis... And maybe she’ll be able to come back to Remnant on her own terms. And ... maybe do a out of nowhere save to help and kick Cinder’s butt when she does. Who knows.

...

I’M NOT ABOUT TO CRY OVER A MOUSE! I’M NOT ABOUT TO CRY OVER SOMEWHAT! FRICK ME.... PLEASE COME WITH US! I DON’T CARE IF IT BREAKS RULES!

Hello again Blacksmith!

Oh wow. I wasn’t expecting actually extended Brothers lore.

So the Cat and Jabberwalker came about because the Brothers were too lazy to do their own jobs. Wow, what assholes.

“One small kindness, in one small moment, led to such a marvelous transformation.” I’M NOT CRYING! ......(cries for the second time)

Oh.... so he turns back.... Huh. Yeah... not sure how I feel about that. It’s still a 30 something year old mind in there....

And just like that.... we’re in Vacuo.... Oh and look! There’s Amity! Pietro and Maria made it! Lots of ships milling about too...

It’s just the credits WHY AM I CRYING AGAIN!!?!? I’m gonna let them play while I gather myself. Good grief.

Inside. Chatterbox. Trapdoor. Guide My Way (Red Like Roses pt 3), Checkmate, Worthy (BMBLB pt 2), Quiet, The Edge. Phenomenal job Casey! Martin! The whole music team should be so proud! Everything sounded amazing!

Alright, no after credits scene, just an ad for the RWBY x JL stuff. Ok then.

....

Man guys.... What a good volume. I just.... This was such a needed volume, good god. There’s so much I want to say about it but for now I’m just going to stick with Thank You CRWBY! All of you! You guys worked really hard on this and it shows! You probably won’t see this but thank you for always giving us your best and I can’t wait to see what’s in store next time! See ya’ll for V10.

Episode 60 Transcript: Some People are Misogynistic to Cope

[intro guitar music]

G: Hello! My name is Grey.

C: And my name is Crystal.

G: And this is Busty Asian Beauties, a Supernatural commentary podcast where I, someone who has seen the show several times...

C: And I, someone who only knows the show through social media, discuss every single episode of Supernatural from start to finish. Also, we are both Asian.

G: Both Asian! For this episode, we will be discussing Season 3, Episode 16: "No Rest for the Wicked," written by Eric Kripke, directed by Kim Manners.

C: What else did Eric write this season?

G: I think the first episode, which was truly downright atrocious.

C: Yeah, it was terrible. Okay. And now this one. Alright, Eric.

G: Why was the first episode atrocious? I just remember it being atrocious.

C: I think they were quite rude to Tamara and Isaac, and also just the concept of the seven deadly sins being real demons, but completely uninteresting in any way.

G: Yeah, and like, they die, and it doesn't affect anything whatsoever?

C: Yes. Well, Dean got torn to shreds today.

G: He sure did.

C: That was pretty funny. [both laughing]

G: You know, let's just talk about it when we get there, but I had some incredibly funny thoughts while I was watching this scene.

C: Yeah, can I just say the moment during this episode that I felt the most emotions was me zoning out of the episode and remembering that the next time we watch Supernatural we'll see Cas?

G: Oh yeah!

C: That was my deepest moment of emotion while watching this.

G: Multiple times during this episode I was like, "Oh my god! We're going to see Cas next week!" And then I remember that next week we're gonna do the–

C: We have that damnable Q&A.

G: Yeah. We have a Q&A. So we're not going to do it next week. We're going to do it the next. So for the Q&A, our deadline is going to be April 1st at–

C: Midnight Eastern Time.

G: Anyway, what did you know about this episode before going in? I mean, pretty much- my guess is that you knew how it ends, but not really the specifics of how we get there.

C: Yeah. So I knew that there was a little girl involved. I knew that it was going to end with Lilith taking over Ruby's vessel and tricking them, and causing the hellhounds to tear Dean to shreds, and then it'll end with Dean chained up and screaming in Hell or whatever and Sam crying a bunch. So yeah, that's what I knew.

G: Yeah. I mean, I didn't know the specifics of this episode. I just knew that they're gonna interface with Lilith, and that until the very end we're going to think, "Oh, they're going to save Dean." But alas! They are not.

C: They're so not gonna save Dean.

G: Yeah. So, "Road So Far," we have “Carry On My Wayward Son.”

C: Yeah.

G: Nothing really jumps out to me in the recap. But it does end with the [mocking voice] "You're going to die. And this- this is what you're going to become." [normal voice] Which I thought was so corny.

C: Yeah, the music cuts out and the screen is black for a second, and then it just flashes that scene.

G: Yeah. To be fair, even though nothing in particular jumped out at me, I was so hyped. I was like, "OMG! The season finale."

C: Were you?

G: Yes, I was! I was super excited.

C: That's good.

G: And like, “Carry On My Wayward Son" is...I went through a phase of like, "Oh, I love this song because it reminds me of Supernatural." And then, like, "I hate this song because it reminds me of Supernatural. [C laughs] And now I think I have grown back to liking it, like, it's a good song. It's a hype song. It's fun, and it reminds me of my boys.

C: That is good.

G: [laughing] I hate that. I hate that I just called Sam and Dean “my boys.”

C: I don't- Cas calls them boys in "The Man Who Would Be King." So it's okay, you're just letting your inner Cas out.

G: Yeah, I'm Cascoded for real.

C: Yeah. This episode is only 39 minutes long.

G: Yep. Yes.

C: And sort of like, seeing that, it's sort of how I felt when I saw that The Magnus Archives finale was 25 minutes long, like, "Oh, this isn't gonna be good."

G: [laughing] Well, can you elaborate on that?

C: Oh, I just like- I think a lot of people were expecting The Magnus Archives finale finale to be like, 40 minutes long to fully wrap things out and be a fully immersive cinematic podcast experience, and I just didn't like it very much, and I just feel like finales that are noticeably shorter than the regular runtime of a show, it's like, “Oh, they put this together at the last minute, didn't they?”

G: Hmm. Okay. So it's not like a fully fulfilled vision.

C: Yeah.

G: Yeah, I can see that. I thought this episode was not-

C: It was fine.

G: It was fine, but it was not a finale episode in the way it felt.

C: Yeah.

G: It didn't feel like a season finale. But I suppose when this season started, the season beginner didn't feel like one as well, so like.

C: And what was the common denominator in both of these episodes? That's right.

G: [laughing] Eric!

C: Eric Kripke!

G: It's Eric Kripke, baby. Yeah.

C: Lost his touch.

G: That- you know what, he did have his touch before this. [C laughs] I was gonna say like, "Did he ever have the touch?" But he did.

C: He did, unfortunately.

G: And we all watched Season 2, Episode 1 and we all did cry and moan and throw up.

C: It's true. Have you been keeping up with the Tumblr brackets with voting for best Supernatural episode?

G: I have seen it! I... [C laughs] Well, what's winning right now? What's the situation?

C: I mean, there's just so many polls going on that I can't say who's winning, but yeah, I think "In My Time of Dying" has definitely trounced anything that it's gone up against so far.

G: I think "In My Time of Dying" is just a spectacular episode.

C: It's a really good episode.

G: Yeah, it's a really good episode, I think that was the beginning of the end for us. [both laughing] Season 2, Episode 1 of a 15 long season show. But that was like, it peaked here, and now we're watching it decline.

C: Yeah, only 300 more to go. [G laughs] Less than 300. Like 270 or something.

G: Yes, so we start the episode with Dean in a forest, running-

C: With the worst shakycam.

G: Yes.

C: Atrocious.

G: Yeah, I mean, it's just like he's being chased by the hellhounds, and then, blood spatter, and then he wakes up, and you know, he's having nightmares. and he's very scared. And did you notice in any way, shape, or form that there is a difference in the camera this episode?

C: Yes! The camera angle looked really bad on Dean's face in this scene, it looked like shit. I don't know what the angle was.

G: It looked like shit, both as an angle, but also the graininess? “Like shit,” I mean, “that looks like shit,” I mean, it looks old, not that it looks bad, the graininess. And I- because I watched this in a [laughs] different website today, [C laughs] I'm not sure if that's because the quality change in the different servers or whatever, or it was like, they use a different camera this episode. Or in that scene specifically, because it looks like early season Supernatural, you know, it looks like season- this is the last season that they did with the film cam, right?

C: I think so.

G: Yes, I think so. I think in Season 4 they change to digital. So this is still the same camera that they've been using from Seasons 1 and 2. But I think maybe the color grading or something changed because this episode does look different.

C: Yeah, I did notice the coloring felt different, but I could not describe how it is different.

G: Maybe they were going for a heavier vibe, you know, for obvious reasons in this episode, so they were like, "Let's change up the color into something more akin to the earlier seasons."

C: Dean is also just notably uglier this episode, did you notice this?

G: [laughing] Give him a break! [C laughs] Give him a break! He's dying.

C: He has 30 hours left to live. Yeah, I guess you can give up on the shaving routine a little bit.

G: [laughing] Yeah.

C: Just, terrible camera angle on his face this episode, but especially in this scene. To the point where at points I was like, "Is this Dean? Yeah, okay, I guess it is. But is it? Yeah, it is."

G: [laughs] Sam walks in, and they start talking about how they're trying to find Lilith, and they just have 30 hours to go. At some point, Dean says, "Why are we still doing this? Why don't we just go out and get some drinks? Have some señoritas serve us?"

C: Jesus Christ. God, I'm fucking sick of this guy. Yeah. And again, another reminder that the next most fetishized group after Asian women in Supernatural is Latinas given the existence of Casa Erotica, and also this scene.

G: Yeah, I completely forgot about Casa Erotica. Why do they have so many canonical porn things going on in this show? Why do we need to know about what Dean's porn preferences are?

C: Yeah, and also Gabriel's I guess? Casa Erotica is Gabriel's favorite, right?

G: Yeah, yes.

C: I don't know, this is what's important to men?

G: Yeah, they just continue talking about how Sam is "not going to let Dean die, I promise you," like he says-

C: He prommies!

G: "I swear everything's gonna be okay, I prommy." And Dean just looks at him and says, "Okay." But as we see from Dean's point of view, he's starting to have hallucinations, and he's seeing Sam's face turn into that of a monster's.

C: Yeah. Which, like, they bothered to have scenes from “Crossroad Blues” in the “Road So Far” to show what hellhounds were, but they didn't bother to put the scenes from “Crossroad Blues” where people who are close to being killed by hellhounds start hallucinating that everyone around them has a monster face, which I feel like was an oversight? Bobby brings it up later so you're not left in confusion for too long. But I guess for a lot of people who forgot that part of “Crossroad Blues,” that is confusing.

G: Well, I guess- I suppose you're right, it's just I didn’t consider it, because I do remember that that's a thing.

C: Yeah, but “Crossroad Blues” was a whole season ago, right?

G: Yeah! It is, yeah. I mostly laughed at the fact that they made Jared Padalecki rotate his head like that to get this shot. [C laughing] I was like, “Oh, they're making Jared Padalecki do that, and that's why we have this scene.”

C: So we cut to Bobby's place, and he has some device hanging over a map of the US. And apparently, it's gonna be able to tell them the town that Lilith’s in, so he does some chanting, and the machine lands on New Harmony, Indiana. So Sam’s, you know, ready to go. Oh, also, I forgot, Bobby is wearing a sweatshirt in the scene, which is not his usual fare, but good for him.

G: I did not notice that! He was wearing- he puts on a vest after, which is his usual fare.

C: Yeah, but before that it was just a sweatshirt, and he had the sleeves rolled up to the elbow on both arms? Which is an odd look, but like, go Bobby, I guess.

G: He's feeling adventurous.

C: Yeah, he's looking glamorous.

G: I love that. [laughs] Is it an actual thing people- is that like an actual rhyme that people say, or did you just happen to rhyme?

C: Oh, I was just referencing the “Cult of Dionysus” lyric, what is it, “You're looking glamorous. Let's get mischievous and polyamorous.” Yeah, that's the line. [G laughs]

G: Yeah, that’s Bobbycore.

C: Bobbycore is getting mischievous and polyamorous. [laughs] So Sam is, you know, ready to go kill Lilith, and Dean tells him to hold up because he first doesn't trust that Lilith is even the one who holds his contract. He says, “We're going off of Bela's intel. Now, when that bitch breathes the air comes out crooked.” She’s dead. She died last week! [G laughs]

G: She's literally dead, bro.

C: Like, she does not- that bitch does not breathe anymore! [G laughs] She died! You caused her to die, in many ways. You were on the phone as she died going, “Tee hee, it's what you deserve.” God. Whatever. Some people are misogynistic to cope.

G: [laughing] How many episodes in a row will you bet that we can insert “some people are just misogynistic to cope” in it? [C laughs] Because this is the second one in a row. Perhaps we can have it next episode as well.

C: In “Laz Rising”? Yeah, maybe. Yeah, he’s probably really rude to Ruby.

G: He interacts with Ruby there. Yeah.

C: He doesn't even know she's Ruby, and he's still not very nice to her, I'm pretty sure. So yeah, and he also says that, you know, they don't have a weapon to kill Lilith, and also Lilith wants to kill Sam. So this is just not a good idea. He says that just because he has to die doesn't mean Sam has to as well, and Sam goes like, “Okay, well, I have a solution to all of the problems, which is, to summon Ruby and ask her for the knife, and also to confirm that Lilith holds your contract.” And Dean is very against this.

G: He says, “She's the Miss Universe of lying skanks!”

C: God.

G: At least he's getting creative! [both laughing] I mean, he could have just said she's a lying skank. But he added that little flare of “she's the Miss Universe.” So, you know, he’s having fun.

C: Dean just learned what metaphors are in fourth grade English class and he's trying to apply his knowledge to the real world.

G: He's a creative writer for real.

C: I mean, that's what The Winchesters is, isn't it?

G: [laughing] What do you mean, he’s writing fanfic about his parents?

C: Yeah.

G: R.I.P.

C: R.I.P. So yeah, he says that they shouldn't trust Ruby, because “for all we know, she works for Lilith,” which in Season 4 ends up being sort of correct, right?

G: In a way. But she's not working for Lilith there, even then.

C: Wait, what’s the scene where she’s like, “No one knew, except for like-” she says like, “Alistair didn't know,” did she say Lilith also didn't know, or did- was Lilith in the list of people who did know?

G: No, because the intention is that they need to kill Lilith, so obviously Lilith doesn't want to die.

C: Fair. That's true. Good point. Okay, so she's not working for Lilith. She's just working for Lucifer. So, Dean gets all yell-y, and he says that “we're not gonna make the same mistakes all over again, and they have to find a new way to save him,” Blah blah blah blah blah. But Sam is still pro-summoning Ruby. I think in response to the “Miss Universe of lying skanks” he says, “Okay, fine. She's a liar. She's still got that knife.” So, you know, I know he's just being practical. But I've decided that every sentence is a Samruby rights sentence.

G: No, he calls her a bitch later.

C: Yeah, no, that wasn't good. But it hasn't happened yet in this episode as we’ve summarized it.

G: That’s true. We'll discuss it when we get there.

C: Yeah. So Bobby decides to go off and find another way to save Dean, yada yada yada.

G: So Sam doesn't listen to Dean and still summons Ruby. So Ruby appears.

C: Yeah, and I did cheer and clap and scream when she appeared.

G: I'm still happy to see her.

C: Yeah, she's leaning against the doorway and being so cool, and I understand that being hashtag badass is a way to avoid giving women personalities in depth, but have you considered that she's so cool?

G: She is so cool, and like, maybe not right now. But I do feel like we get some depth out of her.

C: I agree, yeah.

G: And it's bubbling in this to the surface in this episode, and, you know, all throughout Season 2, and she does have a personality, although yes, the personality is like, “I'm cool, I'm cool.” [C laughs] But for example, I mean, we're jumping to the future of this episode. But how she tells Dean, like, ‘I want to skin you alive,” you know, all that shit. And then, later on, in the episode, she says, “I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy,” and it shows self control, like she doesn't mean all things she says, and I think she was being honest when she said she wouldn't wish it to her worst enemy, and that's supposed to give us depth of her character in some way. Yeah, I think she's a good character, and many characters in Supernatural who are men I feel like don't necessarily have that much depth, or they didn't have at the beginning. And then, you know, the fandom received them well, and that led to their depth. Or they just don't have depth, and then the fandom just gives it to them, and it's not just for Supernatural. You can see this in a lot of fandoms, and it frustrates me that a lot of female characters are not given that benefit of the doubt, you know? It's all convoluted.

G: Sam asks here, like, “How do you get around so fast?” Does he not know at this point that demons can teleport? Or the better question should be, can demons teleport? What's their deal?

C: I assume that they can. But I guess I don't- do we know either way for certain?

G: I have no idea. Maybe one day we'll get a proper confirmation. Because when Dean was a demon, he was just walking around and driving around. [C laughs]

C: That's just because he was a loser demon, though.

G: He was a loser demon. Yeah. And Sam asks, like, “Did you know about Lilith and the contract,” and Ruby says yes, and Sam is offended that she didn't tell him. And she says, “You guys weren't ready, because you would have just charged after her half-cocked, and Lilith would have peeled the meat from your pretty pretty faces.” And Sam says, “Okay, but we're ready now, and we're gonna have your knife because you're gonna give it to us.” And Ruby does her reveal here. which is that she can't do anything about killing Lilith, but Sam can, and she elaborates that all that shit about Yellow Eyes’s powers that Sam has, if he cultivates those well enough, he can kill Lilith without even lifting a muscle. That's how she words it. And she says that Lilith is doing a little bit of a rest and recreation moment right now, so they can attack right now. It's a good time. Yeah, at some point, Sam says like, “Why are you just telling me this now?” And she says, “Well, I’m a demon, manipulation is kind of in the job description. And also, you wouldn't have considered it until now, because only now are you desperate enough.” I think that's interesting, her reasoning for holding back, it’s like, if I told you that earlier you would have just did it your way, but now that we're here and you're desperate, you're more likely to do it my way, and it's conniving, you know, but I think it's so interesting, like, she is portrayed as such a smart character. and she is. and I find that super interesting.

C: Yeah, I agree. Though I feel like the only reason Sam wouldn't do it her way is because of Dean. But Dean is always gonna be in the picture, so I guess it does matter. Sam has to be desperate enough to go against what Dean thinks he should do, is sort of what's happening. Okay, I have two other thoughts about this part of the scene. First, you can see the sweat on Sam's neck when he's setting up the summoning ritual. So that's just a thing. Thank you, Sam. And secondly, when Ruby appears, she says, “A phone call would have worked as well.” And I really like the idea of, like, Sam could have texted her at any point but he's still doing this whole summoning ritual, the way that I like the idea of Sam and Dean praying to Cas when he has a phone in the future, just the idea that you could communicate normally, but there is a way for you to communicate that sort of forces your voice into their head, or forces their physical presence in a way, and that is what you're choosing to do.

G: Yeah, like, you can't mute my notifications if my notifications are in your head.

C: [laughs] No, yeah, exactly, like, I think it says something about the way that Sam and Dean view both Ruby and Cas as tools or not human, you know. It's interesting.

G: Yeah.

G: At some point, Ruby tells Sam, like, “You don't like being different. You hate the way Dean looks at you sometimes like you’re some kind of sideshow freak.” And she calls that out, but, “Suck it up, I don't care if you hate being different. We've got a lot of ground to cover.” But that first part of the line reminds me of that one post that's like, “I like Dean’s queer allegory better than Sam’s queer allegory, because Sam queer allegory is about being queer and hating yourself.” [laughs]

C: What's Dean’s queer allegory, does Dean have a queer allegory?

G: I have no idea. I mean, I suppose he has. [laughs]

C: Not to kick up a million discourse, but I don't think Dean has a queer allegory.

G: I think he’s just queer. [both laughing]

Yeah, but what they're saying is that with Sam it's like, “Oh, woe is me, I hate myself for who I am.” And I do get that, and that it's, you know. Yeah, I mean, I understand, but I remember reading that whole situation back in the day and being like, “God, that's funny.”

C: Yeah. I saw some really funny tags the other day where it was like, Sam is trying to come out to John like, “Dad, would you still like me if I was different from the other kids?” John, thinking that Sam's demon powers are coming to light, “Sammy, you have to ignore it, you have to repress all of it forever and ever. Never think about it again.” [both laughing]

G: Literally.

C: And I think that is exactly what happened, and that is what created this man that you see in front of you today.

G: Anyway, Dean shows up and goes, “So that's you, huh? Our slutty little Yoda.” [laughs]

C: [groans] God, I knew about this line years in advance, and I was still not prepared.

G: It's so funny, because I think you mentioned this line super early on, when Ruby showed up, like, “Doesn’t Dean call her slutty little Yoda?” And so when it showed up, I was like, “It's here. She’s literally their slutty little Yoda.” [both laugh] What a line!

C: Why does he even say it?

G: What does it even mean?

C: What has she done to make him think that she's slutty besides be a woman?

G: No, yes, that, but also like, what does he mean by Yoda? Like, what does Yoda do, say truth?

C: Like a mentor figure that guides you but is sort of mysterious about it?

G: Yeah, I suppose. Anyway, Dean says, like, “I knew you'd show up, because Sam wouldn't listen.”

C: I hate this half of the scene.

G: Yeah, it’s sort of annoying. I did like the fight scene, though, but we'll get to it when we get to it. But Dean is like, “You're not gonna teach Sam anything, over my dead body,” and Ruby goes, “Yeah, I bet.” [both laugh]

C: Ruby’s thinking about Season 4 and going, “I am about to be hilarious.”

G: She literally is about to be hilarious. But he demands for the knife and says, “Just give us the knife, and then never bother us ever again.” But Ruby keeps on insisting until Sam interferes, and Dean just says, “Don't you see that this is all a trick? She just wants you to become her little Antichrist Superstar,” and Ruby says, “I want Lilith’s death, that's all.” And she's being honest here, right, as we said earlier, she's being completely for real here. And she says- Dean asks why, and she says, “I told you why,” and Dean says like, “Oh, right, because you were human once?” blah blah blah blah blah, and Ruby says, “I’m so sick of proving myself to you. You want to save yourself. This is how, you dumb, spineless dick.” Dean punches her. And she punches back, baby!

C: And she has blood on her face. She has blood on her face, and she looks great.

G: She looks great. She punches the hell out of him. Sam just goes, “Ruby, no!” [C laughs] And then, you know, she punches Sam as well. I love this because the moves here are super fun, Dean is on the floor, and she kicks him in the stomach. So she flips around, and then she knocks him over with her head, and I don't know, it reminds me of video game choreography, like the fight scenes. And I thought it was super fun.

C: Yeah, I feel like a lot of these moves are very obviously choreographed, I think Dean’s original punch, I was like, “That did not connect.” But I don't care because I'm having fun.

G: I love that it looks like a little dance, when she- there was a part where she lifts his head to headbutt it, and I was like, “That's so cool. I love that.” Because you know how in a lot of fight scenes in the show sometimes it'll just go, and then they're fighting. [both laugh]

C: Yeah.

G: But like this one, this one I can describe the fight because I thought it was choreographed very interestingly.

C: Yeah, it’s fun.

G: Anyway, at some point, Dean, you know, just starts laughing and smiling and giggling, twirling his hair. [C laughs] And Ruby just goes, “What are you doing?” And he goes, “I think you're missing something,” and then he pulls out the knife, he swiped it from her during the fight, and Ruby is like, “I’m gonna kill you,” and she tries to step out but she is, in fact, in a devil’s trap. So yeah. Sam and Dean start going upstairs. Do you think Sam was in on this? I don't think so.

C: No. I don’t think so.

G: Yeah. And then, Ruby, as they're going upstairs, just goes, “Oh, you're too stupid to live, is that it?” [both laughing]

C: She’s so for real.

G: She's so for real, and he is too stupid to live, and she goes like, “Then fine. You deserve Hell! I wish I could be there, Dean. I wish I could smell the flesh sizzle off your bones. I wish I could be there to hear you scream!” [C laughing] She was doing her everything in this scene.

C: Yeah, right, which I appreciate.

G: Yeah, Dean goes, “And I wish you'd shut your piehole, but we don't always get what we want.” And at that moment I was like, “I'm glad you're dying at the end of this.”

C: No, literally!

G: I'm glad her dreams are coming true.

C: Exactly. I hope that she did get to smell the flesh sizzle off of his bones.

G: Exactly.

C: Anyway, I just hate this scene because it starts off as Sam acting independently, doing his own thing, doing what he thinks is right to save Dean, and then Dean swoops in, he's like, “Actually, I'm BBC Sherlock and I anticipated all of this because I'm so smart. And I studied one million psychology. So actually you lose, and the camera’s only gonna focus on my face. And as soon as I enter the scene Sam will literally be in the background, out of focus the entire time, and just follow behind me like a kicked puppy as we leave Ruby on the ground,” like, I'm sick of him. I'm so glad he's gonna die.

G: Yeah.

C: So we cut to a little bit later, and Sam and Dean are loading up guns and shit, and yeah, I think it's pretty clear that Sam wasn't in on this because he’s like, “Are we actually just gonna let Ruby rot down there?” And Dean says, “Yes.” And Sam starts expressing a desire to know what Ruby's plan is, and to try to stop Lilith. I think one of the biggest weaknesses of this episode is that we don't even get a hint of what Ruby's plan for Sam is. We have like ten different arguments of Dean being like, “No, whatever she wants you to do is evil, and it’ll warp you forever, and it's just demon trickery.” But we have no idea what it is.

G: We don’t, yeah.

C: If we knew about it, and it seemed menacing in some way, maybe I would get Dean's perspective, but I just don't get how neither of them just even bothered to ask her “Hey, what is it?” before they decided anything.

G: Really makes you think that maybe he really is just too stupid to live.

C: [laughs] Literally. Dean references Carrie, which I haven't read or watched. Have you read or watched Carrie?

G: I've watched the more recent one.

C: Okay. I know that a lot of the Sam fans enjoy comparing him to Carrie. What do you, as the person with knowledge- in what way do the similarities lie?

G: I watched Carrie when I was really young, so like- which you probably shouldn't do, but I don't remember much about it is what I'm saying. I just remember there's a lot of blood and killing and murder and it's about this girl with religious guilt or something. And she was abused by her mother, stuff like that.

C: Yeah.

G: And like, yeah, I don't remember much about it. I mean, for sure you know the iconic scene of blood being poured down on her, and the whole like- yeah.

C: Yeah.

G: I mean, do people put Carrie in the feminine rage category? What's the deal with that?

C: Maybe.

G: Yeah, I mean, maybe, it's like- I feel like it's a story that's very, you know, about girlhood in a way, so in that way, I don't think it can be related to Sam, but I'm sure it has, you know, more to say than being about girlhood, that I completely missed by virtue of not remembering much of it. So maybe this is a Sam thing. Yeah.

C: Yeah. So yeah, Dean says, “Who the fuck cares what Ruby has to say, we have the knife now.” And Sam reminds him that Lilith is very powerful, she has a bunch of demons backing her up, and that knife is not going to be enough. So Dean says again, “We are not going to make the same mistake all over again,” and Sam, thank god, asks the question that I was thinking the first time Dean said it, which is “What the fuck does that mean?”

G: [both laughing] What the fuck does that mean?

C: Yeah. So Dean says that this is part of a pattern where, like, John made a deal with a demon to save Dean, and then Dean made a deal with a demon to save Sam, to Sam working with Ruby at all is equivalent to Sam making a deal with the demon to save Dean? I'm honestly still not clear on what his point is, but I think that’s what he’s saying.

G: Yeah, he says some pretty words, like, “She's just yanking your chain down the road and you know what it's paved with, and you know where it's heading.” [C laughs] And I was like, “This is all to trick us into thinking that this means anything.”

C: Again, this is literally him learning about figurative language in his fourth grade English class. That's all he's doing. He's doing an exercise for class.

G: Yeah.

C: I feel like Dean is doing a false equivalence here. Sam is not making a demon deal. He is tapping into his psychic powers, which he should do all the time, because it's cool and sexy of him to do it. But yeah, I don't know, so much of this episode’s conflict is predicated on “demon equals bad” and that probably works for most people, but as someone who's just opposed to Supernatural's bioessentialism on principle it's just never gonna work on me.

G: Yeah, also, given that Sam has demon blood, in and of itself, there should be conflict in the show because of that, and not just be straight up “demons are evil.”

C: Right. Well, yeah, the way it is currently going, it seems to be like, yes, Sam has demon blood in him, but as long as he fights against the demon blood that is fundamentally evil inside of him that he can still be good.

G: Yeah.

C: Boring.

G: Yeah. You know how universities, you're required to take an ethics class or whatever?

C: Yeah. Well, I wasn’t.

G: You weren't?

C: No.

G: R.I.P. But I was required to take an ethics class, and I did think, like, “What would Sam feel while taking this class?” for real, like, I don't know, it's just- because, you know, a lot of those is about action, and Sam is so guilty about everything in his life.

C: Yeah.

G: That is, it's not rooted in actual, like, “What did I do?” It's rooted in, “Who am I?”

C: Yeah. There were a lot of actions he should feel guilty about that he doesn't.

G: Yeah, he's more focused on, like, “What are my thoughts, what are my feelings?” It's just like, maybe, Sam, you should look at it more, you know, “What have I done,” you know, and maybe that won't solve the problem. Maybe it'll just make him feel guiltier, but.

C: But at least he’ll be guilty about real stuff, like killing Jake. He should feel bad about that.

C: So Sam says like, “Dean, what do you think is gonna happen? This is me. I can handle it,” which is also a sentence that means nothing.

G: Yeah, what do you mean, like, “This is me? This is real? I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now, [sings] gonna let the light, shine-” [C laughs] Sam should have been singing that song, he should have broken into song.

C: Well, he thinks that Dean should have sung “Eye of the Tiger.” So yeah, he could have joined in with his own song.

G: Oh my god, they do sing this episode!

C: They do this episode.

G: I forgor, I forgor.

C: So Sam says that he's willing to risk anything, because Dean's his brother and Dean did the same thing for him. And you know, Dean says like, “Well, yeah, that's actually an argument against all that, because we are each other's weak spots, and all the demons know it, and they're using it against us.” Are they? Are they even? They say this a lot this season, but I just don't really get that vibe.

G: Dean is so like, “I'm so special, they all care about me so much they're willing to find everything that can control me, whatever whatever.” Maybe they are, but they didn't do a good job of showing it this season. So this falls kind of flat.

C: Yeah. Like, if I saw more demons conspiring with each other and shit, I might believe that more. I do know that they all generally know about Sam and Dean, but it seems like the factions are fractured enough that it's hard for me to believe that there's a big demon conspiracy happening, even though there sort of is. Yeah, Sam's hurt by the idea that they're each other's weak spots. He's like, “You don't mean that, we're family.” What does that even mean? [laughs]

G: None of these words to me to anything to me, they’re having two different conversations.

C: Just because they’re playing the piano theme of “Americana” throughout the scene doesn't make it good. [G laughs] It is “Americana”, right? Like there's some kind of a piano theme that sounded familiar.

G: I don’t know, I don't think so. I feel like I would have recognized it.

C: Okay, it's some other piano thing that sounds kind of like “Americana.” And then Dean says another sentence that means nothing. He says, “We go after Lilith our way, the way Dad taught us to.” What does that mean? [both laughing]

G: “Dad taught us to be stupid. So alas, we shall be so.”

C: Literally, that is literally what it is. They reference John twice this episode, and it's like, Eric Kripke literally wrote the first episode of Season 3 then took a 14 episode nap, and then woke up to write this, and he was like, “What have I done in the past? Reference John? Yeah, let's put that in.” I just don't get it. I don't know what they're going for. Yeah. So he's all like, “And if we go down, we go down swinging. What do you think?” Yeah. So Sam makes fun of him. Which, okay, usually I don't like when they end serious conversations with one of them making fun of the other. But it works really well here because the conversation was stupid as shit.

G: Yeah, like when Dean said, like, “I rehearsed that, too.” I was thinking, “It's obvious, because none of the things Sam said you interfaced with in a meaningful way. You were just trying to get out what you wanted to say,” [C laughing] and same goes for Sam, I have no idea what the fuck you guys are talking about. You were having different conversations.

C: Yeah, Sam makes fun of him, and says that he should have been jamming “Eye of the Tiger,” and Dean says he rehearsed that, like you said, which is so funny to me, and they're like, “Okay, let's go to Indiana,” and “I wonder what a demon has to do for fun.” So many fun things, is the answer.

G: Yeah, we go to Indiana. And so there's, you know, two old men collecting their mail, and one of them goes like, “Hey, hey, how's that granddaughter of yours?” And the guy goes like, “Oh, she's home sick, but you know, how’s you and your wife, tell your wife I said-” you know, they're just doing the niceties, and then-

C: The niceys?

G: [laughs] The niceys. They literally are doing the niceys. And they shake hands, and as one of them leaves, the other notices that he left a note on his hand, so he opens it, and it just says, “Help us!” And we enter with the grandfather, who from now on forward I'll call the grandpa, and he opens his door to a dead lady on the floor covered with bugs. So she's been there a while.

C: Yeah, she was not treated very niceys.

G: Yeah, he continues, walking forward. And in the kitchen there is a dad and a mom, and the mom is mixing something up in a bowl, and the dad is just there with his eyes closed, and the grandpa asks like, “Where is she?” And the mom says, like, “Upstairs playing with Freckles,” and the grandpa is like, “If we just stay here, we're dead,” and the father is like, “Shut up! She'll hear you. It's her or us,” you know, they're very quiet and talking about how they can't kill her because she's their baby girl, and the grandpa insists that like, “Well, not anymore, because that's not her anymore.” And then suddenly, a little girl comes down the stairs and she's wearing a very pretty dress, except the dress is completely drenched in blood.

C: I love this actress so much. She's having so much fun.

G: She is, and it's like, I think she's a really good actress, she's really good at what she was doing, because it was so convincing that this is like an adult- like, not adult, but like this is a not-child trying to play a child, that really is the vibe that you're getting, and it's super fun and creepy and cool. I mean, we all know it's a trope to have an evil little girl, because it's like, “Ooh, evil little girl.”

C: Literally “ooh, evil little girl,” that is so fun.

G: Yeah. And you know, she’s saying, “What happened to you,” and she says, like, “Oh, Freckles was mean to me.” But she says it like this: [cheerily] “Freckles was mean to me.” Like that, and the parents are like, “Oh, that's nice, dear,” and she goes like, “Will you push me on the swing?” and the dad goes, “Yes, but don't you want to change clothes for us?” And she's like, “Oh, you're so smart, Daddy. I love you!” And then she hugs him, and you can hear the squelching of the blood. And the dad just goes, “Hey. Do you think, after a while, you could let us go?” And Lilith- who, you know, is the little kid, I think we forgot to mention it, but like, you know. Obviously, it's Lilith. She goes like, “Why would I let you go?” And the father goes, “Well, I don't know,” and she’s like, “Don't you want to be here? Don't you love me?” And as soon as- the dad goes, “No, we do,” and the mother goes, “We love you so much,” and Lilith is just like, “Don't be mean to me. I don't like it if you're mean to me, just like Freckles or the mean old babysitter.” And as soon as the dad says sorry, Lilith just goes like, “Okay. It's okay, silly. Now let's go and play,” and it's like, super creepy for real.

C: She’s having so much fun. Love it.

G: It's such a fun scene. So fun.

C: Yeah, yeah, I just really like the idea that like, this is a millennia old demon. But when she wants to have fun, what she does is possess a little girl, and terrorize a family via being a little girl who is also so creepy, it's just very fun, like that does sound like a fun thing to do. I get it. Good for her.

G: This is her rest and recreation, baby.

C: Yeah.

C: So Sam and Dean are about to head to Indiana, but for some reason, the Impala just Isn't starting, and Bobby shows up holding a car part, and he is like, “Hello! I have taken this from your car. Where the fuck do you think you're going?” And Bobby is upset that they plan to go off and try to defeat Lilith without him. He goes, “Do I look like a ditchable prom date to you?” And Sam looks so chastised at this sentence. He's like, “No, Bobby. Of course not!” So true.

G: I love this line. I think it's famous, I think somebody turned it into a “Ditchable Prom Date Tuesday” or something.

C: Oh, that's fun.

G: Is it? Did someone do that? I have no idea. But if they haven't done it, they should.

C: And Dean says, “Well, You're not part of this. This is just about me and Sam,” and Bobby goes, “Fuck no, family don't end with blood,” which I know is a famous Supernatural line. But I don't- we needed a flashback episode with Bobby before I would care about this line, you know?

G: Yeah, I suppose. We’ll get that in Season 7

C: Like, I know that he raised them, I know that he raised them, but at this point in the show no one else knows that.

G: Yeah. It's fascinating how much Bobby's in this show. But he just doesn't feel like a character that you're meant to love, he feels like very much a utility character. Is that sad?

C: Yeah. And I guess we're supposed to have his moment in the Season 2 finale where we're supposed to be like, “Oh, he really cares about Dean, and they have a close relationship.” But I just don't think we know enough about their history. So yeah, sorry. This is not my best line. Also, Supernatural has sort of done this line to death already with their #SPNfamily shit so like, it's done. It's over. So this is when Bobby brings up that Dean’s having hallucinations right now, and that means that he needs more help than he normally would, and Bobby says that he'll follow along with them in his own car. Which- why is that? Isn't there room in the Impala?

G: Maybe if they brought the other car they can bring more equipment as well. Blah blah blah, this is just me bullshitting my hypothesis.

C: Maybe he just wants to give Sam and Dean some time to do scenes alone for the good show, to make the show good.

G: That's literally the point. They need to sing “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi, and they need to do it alone.

C: It's true. It would be so fun if Bobby was just in the backseat trying to join in, and they're like, “Not you. We're having a moment.” We get a very ugly fade to the next scene.

G: We fade in to the Impala, and Sam starts talking in a way that implies that he thinks maybe there's a chance Dean is gonna die, and he wants to say goodbye, and Dean just goes like, “No, no, no, no, you're not gonna go goodbye speech on me, if this is my last day on earth, I don't want it to be socially awkward.” And he says, like, “You know what I do want?” Bon Jovi starts playing, and Sam goes, “Bon Jovi?” And Dean says, “Bon Jovi rocks on occasion.” I still don't understand what qualifies as good and bad for Dean, like music-wise.

C: I have no clue. I could not tell you.

G: Do you think Dean is a good KTV bar buddy?

C: Is that like the karaoke bar?

G: Oh, yeah, yeah, you don't have KTV bars there, or like, is it just called different?

C: Karaoke is not as popular in the US as it is in a lot of parts of Asia, I believe. I feel like all the karaoke places that I've seen have been in majority Asian districts.

G: So like Chinatown, Koreatown, Koreatown, probably.

C: Yeah.

G: Cause like, here in the Philippines, all of the KTVs are in the Koreatown of Manila. I'm not sure, actually, but like that's where me and my friends do it.

C: Yeah.

G: So have you ever been in one, or- where do you do your karaoke?

C: I don't really do my karaoke.

G: Aww.

C: Yeah, which is kinda sad.

G: Well, do you think Dean would?

C: Well, he does canonically do karaoke at some bars later in the series, right?

G: Yeah, but like, that’s not karaoke- is that what karaoke bars are like in the US? It's like, open? That's just a bar with a karaoke, that’s not a karaoke bar.

C: Yeah, that's just a bar with a karaoke, that’s not a karaoke bar. I don't know, I don't think Dean would go to a karaoke bar, because that would be gay.

G: [laughs] Why would it be gay?

C: It's just, it would be gay in Dean’s mind, I think it would be gay.

G: Yeah, perhaps. I think Dean would be the type of guy who would, if he's drunk enough, he'll sing every song, even if it's not- he's not the one who put it in, you know? I think he will be that guy.

C: I agree. He would be just as unbearable.

G: I've been saying this, if Dean was Filipino, he would thrive as a tito, he would thrive as a Filipino tito, like a Filipino uncle. He has the vibes for it.

C: Okay, what does that entail?

G: Like, you know, Karaoke, drinking, I suppose, being kind of an asshole to your nieces and nephews. Being a bad person. [C laughs] It sounds like him, right?

C: Being a bad person does sound like him, I agree.

G: Yeah, he's the type that will not give you money, but will give you drinking money, he'll be like, “Do you want to drink?” And you'll be like, “Okay,” and that's the only time in your life that you will give you any sort of money, including Christmas and Lunar New Year, occasions where they're kind of obligated to give something to people.

C: That sounds correct. Yeah.

G: It’s very Dean.

C: Right, so you think he would be unbearable at a karaoke bar.

G: He would be unbearable in a karaoke bar. That is true. Do you think he would thrive in a situation where Sam has children, and he's the uncle? I think it would be better than if he had children.

C: Yes. Well, let me think, I think the closest thing that we get to that is how Sam is parenting Jack a lot more than Dean is in the early Season 14 days. But, you know, that's a very unique situation where Dean is threatening to kill this guy every second.

G: That is true.

C: So I could not extrapolate much from that.

G: Also, there is just much to say about whether Sam is the type of guy who wants children anyway, which- I actually will be very happy to have that discussion in the future.

C: Okay, yeah. So I think Dean would want to be involved like an embarrassing amount.

G: That's true.

C: I feel like he'd be quite pushy about being involved in Sam's children's lives, and I don't know, he still seems to think that John is a good parent, at least in this episode, written by Eric Kripke, so like, I don't know what his parenting style would be like at all.

G: That's interesting and so true.

G: So they start singing, and Sam is so bad at it, Dean sounds like a normal guy who's singing, and Sam is like, I don't know, his voice is cracking, and like [sings] “Wanted-”

C: I found his bad singing very charming!

G: I think it's charming. I think it's funny, it��s funny in like, “Aww,” that kind of way, not like in a “Haha, I'm laughing at you because you're so terrible” kind of way. I think it's endearing.

C: Yeah, and he’s smiling a lot, and he looks very beautiful when he does it.

G: Yeah.

C: Sam looks really good this episode. I don't know if I've mentioned that yet.

G: No, you haven't, and I don't agree. [laughs]

C: What? Oh my God! Okay, fine. Okay. Let's discuss this. Tell me more.

G: I think he looks kinda uggo. That's my- that's the only discussion you will have. I'll just go, “He looks kind of uggo,” and then you go, “I think he looks pretty,” and I’ll go, “No, he looks kind of uggo.”

C: Well, okay, I guess there's nothing we can do about how you're wrong and I’m right. So we must move on.

G: [laughs] They just keep on singing, and as they drive off there's a shot where we see that they have a busted tail light. I never understood this. I don't drive. Never have drived. Well, I have drived, and then it scared the crap out of me. So I've never done it again.

C: That's correct of you.

G: But, busted taillight, right? I've never had an experience in the Philippines where my family, or whatever, or whoever I’m with, gets stopped for a busted taillight, but it feels so stupid to me, that like- so what's the game plan? “You have a busted taillight. That's dangerous, I'm gonna pull you over and give you a ticket, and then go forth with your life”?

C: I don't know, because I have not had a busted taillight situation, either. Yeah, I don't know. I guess the point is like, maybe it's preventative? Like, as soon as you bust a taillight you should try to replace it as soon as possible, because if you keep driving around with it, you'll keep getting tickets?

G: Yeah, but like, in the moment you have a busted taillight, and then the police stops you.

C: I think you probably just go on your way.

G: And then they let you go again, and then it's like, you're still in danger, because you have a busted taillight, and they’re just letting you do it, and all you need to do is pay a fee for it. I don't know, I think it's stupid.

C: I think each time you run across a traffic cop, you'll get a new ticket, for as long as you have a busted taillight, so I feel like it probably still works?

G: Why don't they just replace the light then and there?

C: That is a good question. I don't- is it the same for every car model? Do you have to go to the special Impala shop to get a taillight for the Impala?

G: Yeah. The 1967 Chevy Impala shop. Real.

C: [laughs] Yeah. There's probably like a “several sizes fits all” taillight. Yeah, I do agree that it makes more sense for traffic cops to just be mechanics. But, alas.

G: Basically the Impala gets stopped, and a cop comes over, and it’s like, “License and registration blah blah blah,” as soon as Dean gives it, he's like, “Yeah, I was gonna change the taillight,” and then he steps out of the car and beats the shit out of this officer, and then stabs him in the neck, and he does the whole “light up a demon from the inside” demonic thing. And we realize that it's a demon, and Bobby's like, “What the hell?” And Sam is like, “How do you know it's a demon,” and Dean just says like, “I just knew, I could see his face. Its real face under that one.” So, slay.

C: Yeah.

G: And they end up in the woods, and they're putting branches over the car-

C: [laughs] Yeah, the police car to hide the fact that Dean killed a cop.

G: [laughs] I thought that was so funny because it's like, the car is still there.

C: Yeah, they do not cover it very well.

G: And Sam is like, “How are you seeing demons?” And Bobby says, “Well, you’re five hours-” so this is five hours to go. “You're 5 hours to go. You're piercing the veil. You're glimpsing the B-side.” [laughs] Wow! They really are hammering home the metaphor. It's similes this episode. And Dean says like, “A little less new age-y please,” and Bobby just goes, “You're almost Hell's bitch. So, you can see Hell's other bitches.”

C: What a way to word it!

G: What a way to word it! But yeah, basically, that's what's happening, Dean seeing them because he's about to become them.

C: Yeah, so we cut back to Lilith, just having so so much fun. So yeah. Apparently, her thing is that she really likes sweets the way that Ruby really likes fries. So, you know, they're having like a semi-family dinner thing, but the only things available are candy and cake, and the mom is bringing in a birthday cake, and Lilith goes like, “Yay, it's my birthday every day!” and blows out the candles. I'm surprised that no one asked her what she wished for, she didn't say anything about what she wished for. I feel like that's a missed opportunity to do some corny horror.

G: What would you presume she would say?

C: Oh, god, I don't know. Just general like, “That we can be like this forever,” like, semi-ominous cheesy shit, you know?

G: Yeah. Yeah.

C: So she goes like, “Hey, Grandpa? Can I ask you something? Why did you try to go to Mr. Wayburn for help?” And so the assumption is that everyone in this town is a demon, so that he passed the “Help us” message onto Lilith. Right, and the grandpa’s like, “I didn't,” and she calls him a big fat liar, and she asks the mom and dad if they were in on this plan, and both of them say no, meaning that they are leaving the grandpa to die.

G: I mean they really weren't, though so like. What do you want them to do?

C:I don't know if they like- I couldn't tell if they were or weren’t in on the plan. I sort of assumed that maybe they were? And you know, she calls him a mean old man who doesn't really love her. And then, you know, she does a hand motion and his neck fucking snaps, let's go, and then she goes, “Nobody scream, okay, screaming makes me mad,” which was so so fun. So you know, the parents are crying and covering up their mouths, and you know, she's back to happy. And she asks to have ice cream with her cake. Oh, she's just so fun, she's so fun.

G: I love how for almost all the cases that we like this season, it involves a child in some way. Like, we really like “The Kids Are Alright,” because it involves a child being a creepy, creepy creature. And then we- oh, well, I liked the telephone, the “Long Distance Call” one specifically because of the conflict with the father whose child died. I really like what they did with that one, and it's like, I don't know. Why are children so effective in like horror and invoking feelings?

C: Yeah, I don't know, but they are just very good at it.

G: Yeah, I think it's very effective if you want to do a sad thing, it's like, “And then the child died.” [C laughs] But Supernatural is very strict with the “no child dying on screen” thing.

C: Yeah, which I guess is probably a good thing, but also, they allow so many other things that it's like, “Huh! Weird that this is where you draw the line.”

G: I think it's like a-

C: Like the network would lose a lot of advertising if blah blah blah.

C: So we cut to the outside, where Sam and Dean are peering- and also Bobby, he's also there- are peering into this window.

G: [laughs] Bobby to is in this episode.

C: Yes. And apparently Dean can tell that the little girl is Lilith, because her face is the ugliest of all the five million demon faces in this town. I still don't get that.

G: Yeah.

C: Like all of them are demons, and like, I don't know. Also, you know, the general trope of, “beauty equals goodness and ugliness equals bad evilness” is annoying in general. But yeah, okay, apparently Dean can just tell that this one's Lilith. Dean stops Sam from just going for it, because the whole town is full of demons, and it's gonna be hard for them to get past everyone and kill a ten-year-old girl, and Sam and Bobby are both like, “Yeah, it is pretty bad that we're gonna kill a ten-year-old girl. But this is about saving everyone in the town. It's for the greater good,” and Dean's like, “Okay, sure fine.” This is the only discussion they have about the “killing a ten-year-old girl” thing.

G: I mean, not only do they kill a ten-year-old, they killed multiple people via knife.

C: Yes, because the knife kills the vessel fully.

G: Yeah. Also, I would like to say, I like that they never attempted to show us the demon faces, like thank fucking God. I don't want to see that shit. Like whatever Supernatural thinks of as a demon face. I don't want to see it. Keep that shit to yourself. I’m glad that they didn’t attempt it.

C: Yeah. They went and looked at a dictionary of various skin conditions that they wanted to villainize, and they were like, “Huh, maybe not.”

G: [laughs] So we go back to Lilith and the mom and she goes like, “Read it again, Mommy,” and the mom goes, “But I've read it 26 times.” I love that she has counted up until 26.

C: Yeah.

G: And Lilith just goes, “Again,” and you know, she goes, “Once upon a time blah blah blah,” and the story is about an evil dragon that demanded blood from the children, and about like, you know, a terrible being that is ravaging down. And it's very obviously like a “Lilith is the dragon in this story” kind of situation.

C: Yeah, which is fun. But I feel like what would be even more fun is if we saw that she makes the mom stop before the tide turns, and the princess starts winning, and then she makes her start from the beginning again. But I know it's already sort of implied. But I just love seeing evil little girl antics.

G: Yeah. Anyway, the mailman is still flipping through the mail at 9 PM when suddenly Dean goes like, “Hi,” basically, he just shows up at the mailman’s line of sight, and starts running. So the mailman follows him, and then, as they turn the corner, Sam shows up and stabs the guy, and then Bobby is putting holy water to the water system. I mean, putting holy water- making the water in the water system holy water, and then we cut back to Sam and Dean, who has now killed the other neighbor that they saw that is a demon. And then suddenly, as Dean’s running, he gets cornered up into a fence by none other than…

C: Ruby!

G: Hi, Ruby!

C: Hi, Ruby!

G: And she goes, “I'd like my knife back, please, or your neck snaps like a chicken bone,” and then Sam shows up and puts the knife against her neck and goes like, “He doesn’t have it. I have it.” And they ask her how she got out, and she goes, “What you don't know about me could fill a book.” And I would love to buy it.

C: Yes.

G: They exchange this look where Dean looks at her, and then looks away, and it's like a whole thing, and Ruby is like, “What?” and Dean is like, “I couldn't see you before, but you're one ugly broad.” He’s so rude.

C: [sighs] Men are misogynistic to cope. [both laugh]

G: Yeah. And Ruby demands for the knife, and Sam says, “You'll get the knife when this is all over,” and she says, “It's already over. I gave you a way to save Dean, and you said no, so it's too late. He's dead, and I'm not going to let you die, too.” And Sam says, “Try and stop me, I’ll kill you…bitch.”

C: There is a very long pause in between.

G: Yeah, he was double thinking. He was like, “Should I call her ‘bitch,’ is this where I drop it? Now I’ve got to be just like Dean for real right now,” and then he goes, “Bitch.”

C: Yeah. It's a very interesting moment. Like, he's clearly making the choice to say it to indicate to her, “It's over, I no longer view you as an equal or someone whose advice i'm willing to take.” He is using it as a way of putting emotional walls up between them by using misogyny to indicate the difference that he views between them. It is very interesting, and I think it is like a good character moment, but like, gosh, Sam, really?

G: Ruby is unfazed by this. She just goes, “Hit me with your best shot, baby,” [C starts humming] and Dean calls this little fight that they're having a catfight. Some people are misogynist to cope! [both laughing]

C: I wonder what the title of this episode will be.

G: Yeah. And then they notice that there's so many people who are now standing by the door. And everyone is there. And then they start running towards the house where Lilith is, and then people- the demons start running after them.

C: They're trying to get into Lilith's house, and they don't know where Bobby is. But then, when the first demon gets to the lawn of the house, the sprinkler system activates, and it is all holy water. So there's just a wall of holy water sprinklers keeping out all the demons, and it is pretty fun. Like, I do enjoy when they come up with creative ways to use holy water and exorcisms like in “Jus in Bello.” Yeah, that is like one aspect of the lore that they are not afraid to have fun with. So Dean's really psyched about this. Sam manages to get them in, and you know, they're inside the house. They see the dead babysitter, and they go, “Uh oh,” and the three of them run into the dad. Dean covers the guy's mouth and says, “We're here to help, tell us where your daughter is,” and he instructs the guy to go to the basement and protect himself with salt, and the guy says that he won't do it without his wife, and Dean just knocks him out with a punch in the face, and then just carries him downstairs. Meanwhile Sam and Ruby are upstairs. They're sneaking about. Tension is high.

G: They did this whole thing where Ruby goes into a room, and it's like, for what? For what?

C: Well, they don't know which room is her bedroom, right?

G: They can look inside and see that she's not there.

C: That is true.

G: What was the point?

C: Yeah, they just wanted to shut her in a bank vault.

G: They needed her to separate. They needed her to be separate so they can make the whole possession thing work out.

C: Yeah, when is the exact moment that Lilith possesses Ruby’s vessel?

G: I think the moment she entered that room.

C: Okay, yeah, that makes sense. So yeah, that is what happens, and Sam eventually gets into Lilith's bedroom, and, she has a canopy bed with this pink gauze around it, so he's a little bit hidden from view, and Lilith's asleep in the mom's arms, and Sam, you know, is sneaking up. He has a knife. He's getting closer, and the mom is awake and we see her right now, she's terrified, trying not to wake up Lilith, but she keeps mouthing, “Do it,”, she's doing it- she's saying “Do it” over and over again, and I enjoyed this moment. It was like, the mouthing of the “Do it,” that was fun. I think that the actress did a good job with this. And she's starting to get frantic, and she's starting to say the “Do it” out loud, but when the Lilith child wakes up, she screams like a regular kid and not like a demon. and Sam’s about to stab her to death when Dean grabs him and says, “That's not Lilith anymore, she's left this body.” So I thought earlier the reason that there was less discussion about why they weren't- about how they were gonna kill a ten-year-old girl was like, the lore that we got in 3.15, which is that it seemed like all the demons that they exorcized recently had worked their vessels so hard that they were just dead upon the exorcism. So I sort of assumed that we were supposed to think that all of these new demons had basically killed their vessels already, but this little girl is alive, and I know it is just because Supernatural won't show child death, but I do like thinking about what it means that Lilith tries to treat her vessels well.

G: Yeah.

C: But yeah, I guess I don't know. I guess we'll learn more about Lilith in the future. Will we?

G: I have no idea, actually.

C: Okay.

G: Hopefully.

C: Hopefully,

G: I think for me, because like, Lilith and Eve kind of are mixed in my head, so I’m pretty sure Lilith doesn't actually show up as Mary. That's Eve.

C: Yeah, I think so.

G: But that's the only thing I remember. So like, the only thing I remember about Lilith is something that she did not do. [C laughs] So, R.I.P.

C: Yeah, I think the main thing that I know about Lilith is a post that I saw about someone liking aspects of Lilith about how they like that she presents herself as a child a lot of the time, and how her main thing is liking sweets, and how she sort of seems like she became a demon through being a spoiled child of Lucifer rather than by being tortured by Lucifer. So, I don't know. Maybe we will see more about her origin story, unless that person was just being creative. In which case, nice job.

G: Anyway. Dean, Sam and Ruby are all going downstairs, and Dean is putting the family in the basement.

C: I just realized, do we see Bobby again in this episode?

G: Nope! [C laughs] Well, we do. He's looking out the window.

C: That's it?

G: Yes.

C: Man, he made such a big fuss about coming along, and all he did was provide one fun sprinkler moment.

G: He literally only provided one fun sprinkler moment. But Sam asks Ruby, “Where is Lilith?” And she goes, “I don't know,” and Sam goes, “Could she get past the sprinklers?” and Ruby says, “Well, yeah, because she's, you know, high-ranking and everything,” and Sam says, “Okay, you win. What do I have to do to save Dean?” And she goes, “There's no fucking way in hell you're saving him now. You had your chance, and we needed time. So you can't just ask for us to do it now.” And Sam is like, “Whatever it is, I'll do it. There's gotta be some way,” and Sam says, “I'm not gonna let you go to Hell, Dean,” and Dean says, “Well, yes, you are. Yes, you are,” and he says, “Sorry, it's all my fault. But what you're doing, it's not going to save me. It's only going to kill you.”

C: Like, there's no fucking proof of any of that.

G: Yeah, he's just being like-

C: He's just making shit up. He rehearsed this in the car, too.

G: Yeah. And then Sam says, like, “Then what am I supposed to do?” And Dean says, “Keep fighting. Take care of my wheels.”

C: “Remember what Dad taught you.” What? What did he teach you? What are you talking about?

G: “And remember what I taught you,” and it's like-

C: What the fuck are you talking about?

G: Just say specifics, bro! [C laughs] Just say specifics, bro. And then the clock strikes twelve.

C: The only conversation we had sort of about what Dean taught Sam was that conversation where Sam's like, “Well, I need to be ruthless now to win this war because I have to be like you,” and Dean's like, “Well, that concerns me, because I prefer when you're yourself and bring up ethical concerns that I don't give a shit about.” But I guess the outcome of this is “you should be ruthless like me”? Is that what “remember what I taught you” means?

G: I have no idea.

C: What does any of this mean? Oh well.

G: Yeah, as the clock strikes twelve, Ruby tells Dean, “I'm sorry, I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.” Is this Lilith or is this Ruby? I think this is Ruby still. I changed my mind. I think this is Ruby.

C: Okay, so you don't think that Lilith has possessed Ruby’s vessel yet.

G: Yeah?

C: So where is Lilith?

G: I mean it's all ambiguous, no matter how hard we try to like, reason it out here, we're not going to get an answer. So I'm just going to believe that this is Ruby, and she's being for real.

C: I do believe that Ruby thinks this, but I don't know if it is still Ruby right now.

G: Anyway, Dean goes like, “Oh, there's a hellhound here, over there,” and they start running to another room and put the dust down and everything.

C: Right. Dean is like, “Sam, I've accepted my death. You should let me go to Hell,” and then as soon as he hears a dog, he's running? Like, whatever, according to your previous speech, you should just stand there.

G: [laughs] Well.

C: So right, they run into the other room, they're putting goofer dust down to keep the dogs out. And Ruby tells Sam, like, “Give me the demon killing knife, maybe I can go out and try to fight off those hellhounds,” and Sam is about to do it when Dean yells “Stop!” again, and reveals that that is not Ruby, that is Lilith. And upon this reveal, you know, Lilith stops acting. I don't think Katie Cassidy does a very good job embodying Lilith in this scene.

G: I think it's fine. I just didn't like what Lilith was doing, anyway.

C: Yeah. That's true. It's- yeah, no, the fact that the last vessel we saw her in was a little girl makes all of her future behavior quite questionable, like, from a writing standpoint.

G: What do you mean by that?

C: Like she goes, “Oh, I like this new vessel. It's all grown up and pretty,” like, what is- I don't know. It's just a weird switch for her. I feel like they have made her a sexual being, but in a weird childlike way.

G: I didn't see it as that. I just was like- I was thinking more of like-

C: It’s bad to sexually assault people?

G: Well, that one, and also the whole thing you mentioned before, where it's like, “every villain who's a woman has to weaponize her sexuality in some way” kind of situation.

C: Yeah, it's very, very annoying, can't she just be evil in a regular way? But yeah, so, her eyes turn white, which, do we get like- okay, crossroads demons have red eyes, princes of hell have yellow eyes. What types of demons have white eyes?

G: No idea.

C: Okay. Well.

G: [laughs] I'm so useless, I'm sorry!

C: [laughs] It’s okay, you’ve only watched this show several times.

G: Yeah, I think it's just her, though.

C: Huh. Okay. Well, whatever, I guess, good for her.

G: She's the specialest little princess of Hell.

C: Good for her. Right, she says that she sent Ruby “far, far away for being a bad girl.” Also she's cracking all of her vessel’s neck bones, and murdering her with every step she takes. Dean makes a comment where he's like, “I should have noticed that you guys swapped earlier, but you all look the same to me,” which is supposed to be like a cool, badass line, I fucking guess.

G: It's so like- it doesn't make any sense, why are we saying this now? Is it supposed to be like a justification of how he did not notice before? By the writer?

C: I guess so.

C: Yeah. Also, it sounds like it's vaguely racist? [both laugh] But yeah, whatever, I mean, Supernatural goes back and forth on whether or not hating monsters is racist or not. Like, “It's racist when Gordon does it, but if Sam and Dean do it, it is not,” is what I mean by Supernatural goes back and forth.

C: Yeah, so, at this point Lilith tells Sam that she's wanted to meet him for a long time, and then she sexually assaults him kissing him really hard, and then she says, “Your lips are soft.” Why- what's the point of any of this?

G: What is the point?

C: Why. What even goes on. Did Eric Kripke write “Shadow?” No, no, that was someone else. Someone else wrote “Shadow” because it was like, their only episode.

G: No, he wrote “Shadow,” he wrote “Shadow!”

C: Wait, he did? Fuck!

G: Yes!

C: Is this a thing? [G laughs] Eric Kripke, do you have a kink that you are putting on our screens when you don't have to?

G: Yeah. He did write “Shadow.”

C: Eric Kripke just wants blonde demon women to sexually assault Sam Winchester so bad. Thanks. Alright, Eric Kripke. I really appreciate it. Great TV moments you're creating here. So yeah, so Eric Kripke does that to our eyeballs. I mean, does Dean sort of wince offscreen at this or something? I don’t know.

G: I don't think so. I don't think so.

C: Yeah. I guess I was wincing offscreen. So Sam tells Lilith that, “Well, now that you have me you should let Dean go,” and Lilith says, "To bargain, you have to have something that I want, and you don't.” Dean says that her plan is to kill him and then kill Sam, and become the Queen of Hell, or whatever. Lilith does not confirm this, but I think we're supposed to assume that that is indeed the case. Okay, I have a question about Ruby's motivations. She wants the Apocalypse. Does she want the Apocalypse to happen, or does she just want Sam to become Lucifer's vessel?

G: No, she wants the Apocalypse to happen. I don't know, don’t ask me. We’ll figure it out next season.

C: Okay, so the righteous man breaking in Hell is a requirement, so like, why would she actually want Sam to manage to kill Lilith?

G: Maybe it’s different right now.

C: Okay, yeah. Also, yeah, I was like, what even is the definition of a “righteous man” for the seal breaking?

G: Well, isn’t like, the whole thing like, John was supposed to be the righteous man.

C: Okay, but he didn't break in Hell. So they were like, “We gotta bring Dean in, cause he could maybe torture people.”

G: What I wonder is if Sam was the one who went to Hell, if he breaks, would that be considered the breaking of a righteous man?

C: Right, yeah. I think I read in a fic that the definition of a righteous man is someone that makes a demon deal to save someone else's life. So it really could be anyone.

G: Hmm. Okay, it could be anyone.

C: I don't know. It surprises me that that's never happened before then, I'm assuming plenty of people made demon deals to save someone else's life, and then ended up torturing people in Hell due to so much torture. I don't know if that fic was right, I guess we'll find out next season, or maybe we won't. And Lilith walks over to the door and she goes, “Sic ‘em boy,” and she opens the door, and a hellhound comes in, and she laughs a bunch, and Dean gets torn to fucking shreds! It is pretty brutal, but also not as brutal as a lot of Supernatural things. So it didn't have that big of an impact on me.

G: Sam is watching this.

C: Yeah.

G: And all I could think of was the Bakugou tweet. [laughing]

C: What Bakugou tweet?

G: It's like, “They livestreamed his death. His brother saw that shit.” [C laughing] That's all I could think about.

C: Literally they livestreamed the death and his family saw that. Yeah, Sam’s- yeah, Jared Padalecki’s putting his whole Jared Padalussy into this, you know, screaming, crying, throwing up, yelling, “No, stop,” I feel like this entire episode has been proof that Jared Padalecki is capable of acting in terms of like, he's capable of crying on camera, and Jensen Ackles isn't. [G laughs] So yeah, you know, he's screaming and crying and begging Lilith to make it stop, but it doesn't stop. I think there's like a fun moment where Dean gets clawed really bad, and he arches his neck back in pain, and it cuts to Sam, and he's doing the same thing with his face, but it's an emotional pain, crying, arching his face? That was a nice moment. Yeah, and you know, Dean’s being so killed. And then Lilith puts out her hand, and there's like a blinding white light that comes out of it, and it's supposed to hit Sam and kill him, I think. And then the light goes away, and she looks very confused. And I'm honestly a bit confused about what happened here?

G: Yeah, cause part of me, when I first watched it was like, “She’s back to Ruby.”

C: Yeah, she's back to Ruby, or she's back to the vessel, what's happening? Exactly. Yeah, the acting choices made after the white light goes away makes it seem like she's a completely different character than Lilith, but Lilith is still in her? I don't know. I don't know what's happening.

G: Yeah, I don't know.

C: I thought maybe this was like a fun preview to the thing that happens with the nurse in 4.22 or whatever, where the demon allows the vessel's consciousness to come to the surface to beg Sam not to kill her, but I don't think that is what's happening here. I think we're just supposed to read that she's acting so completely differently because she's so afraid at the fact that Sam was able to resist her power. But I was just confused.

G: Yeah, it doesn’t come off that way. Yeah.

C: Yeah, it took me a while to figure out that that is what I was supposed to get out of this. So she tells Sam to stay back, but he's coming at her with the knife, and just as he’s about to stab, the vessel’s head falls back really hard, and a bunch of black smoke comes out of her, and she screams, and then she collapses dead, and then, you know, Sam is left alone in this room, and he walks over to Dean, and he's crying, and I've seen this shot a lot. I feel like he's doing a good job crying, you can see the tears going off of his nose, and one jumps free and lands on Dean. So yeah, he's, you know, cradling Dean’s dead body and going, like, “No, no,” but you know, more emotionally than that. And then we zoom into Dean's eye, and this is like a transition until we get into some weird, cloudy, green fart cloud world, and Dean is chained up by all of his limbs, and he's covered in blood, and he's screaming, “Someone help me,” and then he starts screaming, “Sam, Saaaaam,” and then we fade to credits.

G: We truly do. Man. That was an episode.

C: [laughs] Yeah. You said you had things to say about Dean's death when we got to Dean's death.

G: [laughing] No, it was that.

C: It was just the Bakugou tweet? [laughs] So fucking true. That's so correct of you.

G: That was all I thought to say! Because of that though, I couldn’t get into the emotional space to mourn Dean’s death.

C: I also can’t mourn Dean’s death.

G: I was literally going like, “Sam saw that shit, man,”and he literally did. [both laughing]

C: Yeah, I can't even get into the emotional depths of how awful Sam must feel right now, it's just like, “Isn't it so funny that that happened” is the only thought I can muster about this.

G: [laughs] Yeah, I mean, what is your final thoughts about this episode?

C: I didn't like that Dean was- okay, I liked and didn't like that Dean was screaming Sam's name. It seems like a pretty cheap way to end the season, like the fade out of him yelling “Sam,” like, whatever, he does that all the time. That doesn't mean anything. But I guess I was thinking about various anecdotes from real life people about moments of greatest pain in their life where they've had really difficult relationships with their parents, but in their moments of being the most scared, their thought is like, “I wish my mom was here,” or something like that, and I do wonder if I would like the scene better if he was screaming for Mary or John. But then I guess-

G: The emotional something wouldn’t be the same.

C: Right, but I think this also does an amount of good work in that like, it's true that Sam is the only person he has left and it is true that during this whole season Sam was like, “You've always taken responsibility for me, so it's my turn to take care of you, and you can count on me, and it will be okay.” So it does make sense that it is Sam. But whatever, he does this all the time.

G: I think the whole “greatest moments of pain, you go back to who you were with in your childhood,” I think that is a thing that people experience. I've seen it in people who were dying, calling out to their siblings and stuff, or just the people they were with in their youth. So like, I think it does make sense, not even in a “This is the person who took care of me or protected me or stuff,” but like, “This is the person I was with during better moments of my life.” I mean, you can't really say that about Dean I guess, he didn't really have much good moments in his life. [C laughs] But you know what I mean, it makes sense to me. Anyway, Best Line/Worst Line.

C: Best line…I kind of did like Ruby's thing about like, how “You don't like being different, and you hate the way Dean looks at you.” Just, every time they actually bring up a Sam storyline that I feel like has gotten dropped, I start screaming and cheering, regardless of the quality of the line. So yeah, that is my best line.

G: I think for Best Line, I actually really did like when they were singing Bon Jovi together. I know I made fun of Sam, but my best line in this episode is just them singing together.

C: Yeah.

G: Yeah, ‘cause I don't know, it feels very, like, you would think that the intention of this scene is to break the tension in some way, but it doesn't, that's not the point. The point is to build to the tension that like, oh, he's dying for real, it's supposed to make you even more anxious and more- and I like that subversion, in a way, of like, this scene that’s supposed to be fun and something, looking back to it almost feels tragic in some way.

C: Yeah.

G: Yeah. So I quite like it. For Worst Line, what's your worst line?

C: Dean’s very misogynistic this episode, so.

G: Yeah.

C: Any of them? I think “sexy little yoda” is too iconic to be my worst line. Maybe it's when he was so mean to Bela. I just hate that that is how we leave off on her character, and we never meet her again, you know?

G: Go back to her again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have said this before, but I hate the word “skank” so much, I hate it so much it’s unreal, so I think the “Miss Universe of lying skanks,” that line.

C: Yeah.

G: Yeah. Man, spreadsheet.

C: Spread. Sheet.

G: We are spreading that sheet, baby. [C laughs] That sounds so horrible.

C: I thought that was the point.

G: [laughs] We literally are spreading that sheet.

C: Yes. So, misogyny, definitely present, would you say it's a 1 or a 2?

G: Yeah. I would say it's a 2 this episode.

C: Yeah, I agree. He just hates women so much. And in fact, Sam also hates women so much by the end of this. Racism, I don't recall anything related to people of color or ever coming up-

G: No, I don’t think there’s anything.

C: So they manage to dodge it via omission. Homophobia, I don’t think so?

G: No, yeah.

C: Alright. So we got a 2-0-0.

G: Alrightie, a 2-0-0. Okay, IMDb, I am not sure.

C: Yeah. I feel like the shock value of Dean actually crying- sorry, why did I say crying- the shock value of Dean actually dying could go either way in terms of the scores?

G: I would say this is an 8.9.

C: Huh, I was not going to go that high.

G: I mean, you know how season finales are.

C: That’s true. 8.7 is what I'm going to guess.

G: Okay, okay. So. 8.9 versus 8.7. Damn! It's a 9.2.

C: Oh shit. Okay. That's very high, is that- what else has even been that high? Okay, it looks like 3.03 was a 9.2, which was “Bad Day at Black Rock”? Alright, fair. Alright, “In My Time of Dying” was a 9.2. This was not as good as “In My Time of Dying.”

G: “In My Time of Dying” was 9.2?

C: Yeah.

G: Damn. “Bad Day at Black Rock” is 9.2. And this is- I mean, maybe that's equivalent. Yeah. Sometimes I don't understand the ratings in this show.

C: Yeah. Nor do I.

G: Yeah. This review said that this is the best Supernatural season ender of the first three seasons.

C: Eh.

G: Well, to be fair-

C: There's only been two others.

G: This one is just saying, “Excellent episode.” Oh, this one: “Zero payoff! What a disappointing season. This finale had zero pay off. We don't know any more about Lilith, Dean died, so everything they tried in this season was for nothing. Sam can suddenly resist Lilith without further explanation. This was such a nonsensical finale it's insane. Yeah, it was gripping, right until those last few moments when you realized it was all for nothing.” Somebody's mad Dean died. Like, he’s not real, dude.

C: Have you considered that it's so funny?

G: [laughs] Have you considered that it's sooo funny?

C: Trying to see if there's anything else that's interesting here.

G: This one just describes what happened in the last scene of the episode, and I was like, “Just like me and Crystal for real.” [laughs]

C: Yeah. Truly.

G: Yeah, they don’t say anything else, they just describe it.

C: Is this the 5 out of 10 one?

G: Yeah.

C: It’s true, they do not explain why it's 5 out of 10. They just summarize the episode, and it's titled “Death of one of the Winchester boys :(“. So real.

G: [laughs] Yeah.

C: I guess that's it.

G: I guess that’s it for this episode of Busty Asian Beauties. Next week, we will be discussing Season 3 in general and our expectations for Season 4. Leave us a rating or a review wherever you get your podcasts.
