the person's tags below are so real
don't get me wrong I love them both but people who bash Nick over Sel make me laugh especially prior to Bloodmarked because while Nick was fawning over Bree talking about how much he wanted to kiss her Sel was actively plotting to kill her
#Bree casually mentioned having interactions with non-Order magic users and Nick’s only response was to ask if she was safe.#no overprotective gross Alpha Male behavior here. he asked if she was safe and trusted her when she said she was. that’s it.#Sel is actively the reason she isn’t safe for the majority of the first book lmfao that guy was insane#people only dislike Nick because the ✨ bad boy ✨ Sel is more interesting to them#but Nick is a fantastic character with a lot of depth and I love him to pieces#Sel ‘if I don’t kill this random teenage girl I have failed at my life’s mission’ Kane vs Nick ‘wow she’s so pretty’ Davis#like Sel is cool but I think I’ll always be a Nick stan there’s just something about his simple golden retriever vibe#he is also unhinged he just seems normal. like every decision this bitch made in Bloodmarked was a curveball What Was He Doing#the legendborn cycle#selwyn kane#nick davis#breesel#bree matthews#breenick#ya lit#arthurian adaptions#Legendborn#tracy deonn#< prev

1, 9, 29, 4?
1. Top 3 Doctors?Hmm... I think my top 3 Doctors would be 10, 13, and 12. Which, yeah, I know, how basic of me to have 10 as my favorite. But it is what it is. I mean, my second favorite Disney revival movie is Frozen so. I’m basic as hell.9. NOTP?Hmm. I mean, I don’t do shipping in general but I don’t know what ships I’d actively call a NOTP? There are definitely ships I don’t like, but IDK if they’re NOTP level. I guess a NOTP might be Donna x Ten in a romantic way? I really really like them as a platonic relationship. The Doctor x Amy or Rory is right out, obviously. (I mean, I could ignore the fact that they’re canonically his parents-in-law but why would I? It’s hilarious!) In general I don’t really love companion x Doctor romantic relationships? I just feel like the power balance doesn’t work, the Doctor is literally thousands of years old, it’s weird. Though there are fics I’ve read that do have Doctor x companion romantic pairings, so again, no idea if they are quite NOTP level.
29. Thoughts on the current Doctor?Oh gosh. Where do I begin? I adore her so much! In s11, I did still like her, and it was fun reading into the little hints we got past her cheery persona, but I was never certain if I was reading too much into it. And then s12 came along and validated basically everything I read into, and deepened my love for her.
I once saw a description of Trish Walker from Jessica Jones as something along the lines of, a very nice looking house but if you go inside, you’ll see a whole bunch of feral and rabid cats fighting each other. Or maybe I’m misremembering what the description was. But that general vibe is how I’d describe 13 in s11, and then in s12, the cats start tearing down the house and you get to see all the ferality that was locked inside. So that’s been fun to watch.
I think one thing I really like is the fact that she puts up a nice cheerful persona in what seems to be an attempt to live up to the promise they made to themself as 12, to always be kind and try to be nice. It is very much a front and not how she Truly Is, but what I find fascinating is that this isn’t malicious on her behalf. This isn’t a Bitch In Sheep’s Clothing situation, she’s not secretly evil. She’s just secretly more complicated than the image she tried to project of herself to the fam in s11. I get the feeling she wants to be that happy, dorky, gregarious space tour guide that she attempted to be in s11 and nothing more, but she isn’t that. Not that the dorky childishness is completely fake or anything, it’s just not the full story. She wanted to ignore all her unresolved past traumas so that she can pretend she’s just the fam’s friendly neighborhood alien, she doesn’t want to be the angry and traumatized eldritch and ancient being that she actually is. Also, the Doctor is always, at their core, an asshole, but she wanted to try to not be that, for once, and so hid all her asshole-ishness away from the fam, which is a decision that probably screwed the fam over for how to deal with her this season. Because while part of the danger of being the Doctor’s companions is the adventures, part of it is also the mercurial nature of alien taking you on these adventures. The alien is wonderful and kind, but they’re also very fae-like and so are dangerous and, well, a dick. Every companion has had to know how to stand up for themselves whenever the Doctor is being an asshole to them, and they know that’s what they’re getting into when they start travelling with the Doctor. I mean, think about it. 9 was initially quite icy to Rose, 10 was a dick to Martha, 10 also literally burned the Racnoss in front of Donna, 11 ditched Amy for 15 years (on accident, but still) and yelled at her and threatened to take her back home immediately because of a decision she made on her first trip with him that she doesn’t even remember, and 11 was a creep to Clara. But the fam was exposed to what’s basically a fake persona by 13. She hid away all of her jerkishness and tried to go out of her way to be as nice as possible. So when s12 comes around, and 13 is hit with a big Trauma Conga Line, and is not able to hold onto her performative personality, the fam are unexpectedly hit with the spiky asshole-ish sides of her personality and they’re not prepared for dealing with it at all! Which is part of why I kind of forgive them for being more passive than most companions when it comes to dealing with the Doctor being a jerk.
Anyway. Kinda veered off-topic there slightly. But yeah, I love that, even though her performative niceness is, well, performative, and she was sort of trying to trick the fam into thinking she’s nicer and sweeter than she actually is, I really dig that it’s not from a malicious place, it’s just from a very misguided attempt at trying to fulfill the promise she made to herself. It’s not something I’ve seen before in a character, because, like I said, most characters who aren’t actually as nice/sweet as they appear are generally Actually Evil, or Secretly A Bitch. Which isn’t the case with 13 at all. She’s an angry traumatized mess, but she’s not straightforwardly Evil.
Which brings me to my next point, I love how much of an angry traumatized mess she is! And I love how much s12 is showing that side of her! She’s trying her best, but her best involves possibly the worst coping mechanisms I’ve ever seen, she is such a disaster! And this is such a relief to see because I was so worried last season that the writers would cop out because she’s a Girl Doctor so clearly she has to be Emotionally Healthy Now. And I saw so many people surmising similarly, because of that and also because of the fact that 12 had so much Character Development, that she’d be the Doctor Who Is Completely Healed. Which I hated the notion of. I recall seeing a fic that had her be the one to bring her older selves together to force them to talk about their issues, which is absolutely hilarious to think about now, considering literally everything about her this season. (Though tbh, it still wouldn’t be out of character for her to do that, purely because she’s a little... lacking in self-awareness.) I also recall seeing a fic last season having 13 meet Clara and one of the things she mentioned was that as a man it was harder for her to talk about her emotions or whatever but she’s finding it much better to talk about them now, which, a) blegh, gender essentialist, much? and b) *starts laughing outrageously because I’m thinking about how goddamn emotionally constipated she actually is*.
I dig how much fun she has when dealing with a villain that is on her level. One of the fun things about how she takes joy in everything is the fact that this translates to maniacal glee when confronting villains. She has a thrill of the hunt that I don’t think other NuWho Doctors have had, and the smiles she gives to bad guys are deliciously creepy. She’s also just so feral. She made some pretty unhinged smiles when confronting the Master, which was so fun to watch. And of course, her crazed smiles when absorbing the Cyberium were *chef’s kiss.* They felt similar to the expressions 11 had in Nightmare in Silver, and that was because he was being possessed! 13 was simply acting that unhinged and arrogant solely because of her own pure ego!
I also super cannot wait to see what goes down in the finale because I get the feeling that she is absolutely going to lose it. There’s no way she’s gonna start developing better coping mechanisms within one episode, and it’s gotta get worse before it gets better, so I look forward to seeing her at her absolute worst.
Phew, wow did I go on for a while there! Sorry for the ramble! I just love 13 a lot.
4. Favorite Dalek story?It’s gotta be “Dalek.” That’s the gold standard for me. I love how well it established what a threat a single Dalek can be, which I think later Dalek episodes failed to do as good a job with partially because they used huge armies of Daleks. With a single Dalek, you end up leaving what an army of Daleks can do to the imagination. And also, this was just a great Nine episode. It showed such a vicious and unhinged side of the Doctor, which is always fun to see. Nine is normally icy on the outside, but he’s usually pretty chill most of the time, so seeing such an angry hateful side to him was absolutely fascinating, character-wise.

Impulsive Decision pt.2
Chapter 2: The Duck Tape Pillar
WARNINGS: SWEARING/STRONG LANGUAGE | KIDNAPPING | MENTIONS OF MURDER |
Pairing: BTS x Reader / Kim Taehyung x Reader
Word Count: 2,723
Summary: Y/n is the owner of a very wealthy and successful company, Barnanby Inc. Y/n attends a BTS show. They make a very impulsive decision to show a loophole in BTS’s security and end up kidnapping BTS and 2 girls. In a fit of panic Y/n stashes BTS and the girls in a very luxurious bunker for the time being, but Y/n’s world slowly starts to crumble the longer the boys are out of the public’s eye.
A/N: This is mostly angst with a small amount of fluff at the end.
"Okay, my friend is gone, I'm calm, I'm confused and mildly stressed, aka me most of the time. I'm sorry you had to see me pop off on 'My-Daddy-Is-A-Lawyer' over here, but I'd like to show you the rest of the bunker. If any of you try what she or Jimin did, you will be exiled to the ducktape pillar until you learn manners, are we clear?" I stated, walking out the bathroom in front of them all.
Everyone nodded, all but the girl ducktaped. I walked over to the double doors and slid them open revealing a very open layout. It was a nice spacious living room with three couches, large tv, and speakers. A normal sized kitchen behind the living room and a dining room with a large table.
I had the whole place black, white and gray besides a few things here are there that were different colors of the rainbow to add some personality. I walked into the dining room with them following. There were two openings on the left and right of the dining room.
I turned around to face them
"To your right is a hall that leads to a gym, a locker room, an office, a library and a bathroom. To your left are the bedrooms. There are only 4 done so you may have to share rooms. I was supposed to have the other four rooms fixed up, but never got around to it and never saw a need to. Also, there is a laundry room and 3 large bathrooms in that hall because I prepped this bunker for my family and they take like 3 hours in the bathroom for some reason. You are free to play my arcade games, eat my snacks, drink my alcohol and do as you please. Be sure to eat dinner and I'll be back." I announced and began to walk out.
"You're not staying?" Jimin asked quickly.
I stopped to turn to them, they all seemed panicked.
"Don't worry this place isn't riddled with traps or anything. I'm only leaving to tell my company I'm taking a week off, get food and inform my family that I'm going rogue for a week or so."
"'Going rogue'?" RM questioned.
" Your company??" J-Hope asked.
"Yeah, I do this thing where I just drop off the face of the earth for a few days. It usually happens when I'm depressed, or just want to be alone. They understand already. Yes, my company, I inherited it from my dad. It started from cartoons to TV to toys, how else does someone acquire enough money to build a bunker with 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, large TV and speakers, a nice kitchen, a gym, office, library and gaming room all well stocked with top of the line equipment? I'll be back in a bit." I began walking out once more.
I ended up over-shopping. I got too much food and bought clothes for the boys, hoping they'd fit. I got out my car and started loading everything at the dial door. I made sure I had everything before I closed and locked the vault door and opened the punched in the code, loading everything in the now empty feeling room. I noticed the girl wasn't taped to the pillar. I sighed. I slid open the doors dramatically.
"HeLLO FELLOW BITCHES!" I called out moving bags to the kitchen.
Jimin and Suga were sitting on the couches, mindlessly watching TV, I could hear an argument happening between Jungkook and Jin along with a Mortal Kombat tune playing.
Jimin jumped up and went to grab bags from the previous room and Suga gave me a look I couldn't figure out.
"What's with the look?" I asked, starting to load things in the fridge.
"Why so many bags? Are they too heavy?"
"I got a lot of food and clothes for you all. Unless you like using the same underwear and hoodie for a week, then be my guest." I tried to make it seem like his sudden concern didn't faze me.
Jimin came in with a ton of bags, dropping them on the floor and started helping me put things away.
"Since when did you become helpful?" I asked Jimin suspiciously.
Jin walked into the dining room, he saw me and gave me a small smile.
"Hello, how was the trip?" He asked softly, walking up the counter, looking curiously through the bags.
"Fine, I guess. I got a lot of food and got you all clothes, where is everyone?"
"Jungkook, Taehyung, and Hoseok are in the gaming room cheating," I let out a small giggle. "Namjoon is in the library with Seongmi and Linza."
"Which one is the one I dislike? Ducktape Girl I mean."
Jin was trying not to laugh as he got the name 'Linza' out.
"How's your back?" Jimin asked quietly.
"Okay, what's going on?? Suga looked at me funny but asked if the bags were too heavy. You held a knife to my back and are now asking how my back is feeling like you weren't threatening to stab it a few hours ago. Jin has been mostly calm this whole time and it's starting to freak me out." I admitted.
"Yah! When I have I not been calm!?" Jin almost demanded, making me smile.
My phone gave off a notification that I had lost cell service from being in the bunker. It made me freeze. I walked over to Suga and held my hand out.
"Hand over the phone."
He looked as if he was going to challenge me, but decided against it. He handed me his phone. I turned on the screen. An app was open, a recording app that had several 10-20 minute recordings on it within the past 4 hours. Since I kidnapped them. I frowned and handed his phone back. That's why he and Jimin seemed so concerned with me, they wanted to not be suspicious. They wanted to seem compliant.
"You're not deleting anything?" Jimin sounded timid, like he was afraid to say the wrong thing.
There was no doubt that he recorded me popping off on 'Ducktape Girl' when I was angry. Out of context, I would be painted as an unhinged monster in front of a judge, especially since 'Ducktape Girl' insisted her father was a lawyer. Not only that but my family's reputation with the law since my father passed was an extremely unsturdy bridge that was one gust of wind away from completely disintegrating. The police in the area were just praying to get a family member of mine to harass every day. I could go to jail for life.
I was going to jail for life.
I felt my eyes begin to water at the thought. I didn't even consider how long I'd go to jail for this, or how much more my family would be ridiculed when I did go to prison. All because of my poor impulse control, all because I made a stupid decision and didn't back out of it once I saw it go south.
"I'm not deleting anything; That's destroying evidence. I'm going to bed. I had ruined my life enough today." I emotionlessly spilled out, turning to the big double doors.
"You should eat something! Or at least a snack." Jin called out.
"You can eat all you want. I'm not hungry." I closed the double doors behind me and got on the large bed.
I pulled out my phone. I saw I had a call from my mom. I pulled myself out the bed and opened the dial door, closing it behind me. I got outside the bunker and caught service, despite the bunker being in a forest in the middle of nowhere. I tapped 'call back' and waited.
"Hey, Y/n your brother and I were just having a debate, want to settle it?" I smiled a little.
"That depends, what are you two arguing about NOW?"
"Mom wants to make HER 'Watermelon Wonder' bullshits for our sister's picnic." My brother butt in.
They were clearly drinking. My mother would never let my brother call her 'Watermelon Wonder's 'bullshits' without some kind of influence.
Our family was into charity events, whether it be picnics, fairs, library 'parties' or even college parties, we always liked to help out those in need. We did this all year round whenever given the chance, but summer was our busiest season.
'Watermelon Wonder' was a concoction my mother forced us to drink when we were younger. My MOTHER'S recipe had different types of melon, plus every leafy or healthy green thing she could get her hands on. Broccoli, spinach, kale, peas, you name it, blended into a thick liquid that was practically paste.
My FATHER'S recipe was just melons, mint and a small amount a lime blended into a smooth refreshing drink that was meant to be kept ice cold, we sold it in cans at our toy stores, it was a fundraiser tradition.
"No mom, DAD'S 'Watermelon Wonder' is the only one that shall ever have our involvement."
"HA! Remember when mom put WASABI in them!?"
I shivered at the memory as my mother and brother began bickering. No fun fundraisers in prison. No family dinners. No Drunk Family Night. No fulfillment of the promises I made to my father. My chest tightened making me let in a shaky breath that made my family stop bickering.
"Y/n? Honey, are you okay?" My mother asked.
The tears in my eyes spilled over.
"Yeah, just...depression." I lied.
"Are you taking your pills?"
"Yeah. I think I have to up the dosage. We still can't get it right. I'm sorry I can't be at the fundraiser, but I'll be sure to donate. I uh, need to make an appointment with our family lawyer too. I've been getting a property offer and want to make sure everything goes to you guys."
"Seth hasn't seen you since your father passed, I'm sure he'd love to know you're scheduling. I heard you're trying to expand to games?"
I smiled and I began to cry more.
"Yeah, dad loved them so much." My voice wavered.
My mom let out a dreamy sigh. "I remember our first date was in an arcade. He joked that if we'd have kids, he'd ignore me and play video games with them. Sure enough, your brother and sister showed up, you shortly after, then your little sister, I barely got to see him out of office or off the living room floor. He somehow always remembered anniversaries, birthdays and what I was wearing on the 13th day of that month. He never, not once, made me feel neglected or not paid attention to. He loved me. He loved all of you."
"Sorry mom, I have to go, work is calling." I managed.
"Okay, don't forget about your Dad's birthday coming up. We have a big even set up!"
"I won't, love you all." I hung up quickly and let out the sob that I was holding back.
I had so much to lose. I was so angry at myself. I texted Seth, the family lawyer to schedule an appointment, sent Jason a text, threatening him, telling him if he told anyone I'd let out all the details about the dirty magazine I found in his room when we were 10 and went back into the bunker.
I fell into the large bed, hoping Freddy Kruger would do me a solid and pull me far away. No such luck. I heard a soft knock on the double doors.
"You may be blessed with my presence," I called out loud enough for them to hear.
The door slid open, showing V in a large white T-shirt and boxers, hugging a pillow. I sat up.
"What's up?" I asked softly, my voice was still hoarse from crying.
He frowned, stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. He climbed on the bed in front of me and sat there looking at me for a bit.
"I want to get to know you." He stated matter-of-factly.
"Not much to know, just a crazy fan who kidnapped everyone." I laughed bitterly.
"I don't believe that."
I looked into his eyes, almost silently asking if we was serious. He was waiting patiently. I sighed, running my hands through my hair as I lied back. He quickly lied beside me, making my heart nearly jump out my chest and make a run for it. I tried to stay as calm as a possibly could. The luminous god beside me was making it pretty difficult.
"I own my father's company. He was an aspiring game designer until he met my mother who was an animator. Most of the companies she went to, to sell her work denied it for more popular animators. Talent didn't get her anywhere. So my father switched gears for her and became a business student. He didn't even finish college but managed to win over anyone who got within 100 yards of him. People loved him. He made a ton of connections, got a lot of job offers, made a lot of money from 2 to 3 years of hard work, bought a company, named it after my mother's first character, 'Barnaby' and had his new buddies run ads, shorts and other animations on their networks. My family's company got bigger, started showing their animations on their own platform. My older sister helps run that side of the company, Broadcasting and Entertainment. People wanted merchandise, my father expanded to toys that he and my mother designed. My younger sister helps with feedback and my older brother helps run that side, Toys and Merchandise. I was planning on moving to video games, my father used to love them. Every time he had a day off, I'd wake up to waffles with a tower of whipped cream on top, bacon, eggs, sausage, every berry he could find and every video game he could get his hands on. We'd all sit in the living room, until he had to go to work the next day, just playing games, having fun until that sun came up." I ranted, looking at the ceiling, smiling slightly.
"What happened to him?"
"He was murdered. His car somehow didn't have breaks suddenly in the middle of a busy highway. He crashed. The police said there was no foul play, My father was diligent with the car around that time since I was learning how to drive. The breaks weren't worn. Someone wanted him dead. They succeeded. My father always thought I was the most caring, likable, wittiest, smartest, bravest and most cunning of his children, so he gave me the company in his will." I let out another bitter laugh.
"He's probably the most disappointed billionaire ghost." I sighed feeling a sense of acceptance wash over me.
"Why would he be disappointed."
"Because I 'yeet'ed that shit out the window as I ran 12 red lights with 7 very famous idols and 2 innocent people in the back of a limo. All gone because I wanted to see how far I could go. Once I saw how far I could go, I was too afraid, too stupid to back out. Now I have a girl who says her father is a lawyer, an innocent girl whose family misses her dearly, 7 idols who are either terrified or disgusted in me in which case two of those idols have evidence that can destroy me, a best friend who can be labeled an accomplice, a police force who hates my family and is just waiting for the moment when one of us slips, and a family who will get blindsided by the news that their 'Golden Y/n' finally snapped."
"I'm not terrified or disgusted in you." V whispered softly.
"Are you saying this because you want plushies?"
"Yes." His boxy smile lifted my entire soul.
I giggled. "I'll get you one tomorrow, any color preferences?"
"Gray. I'm sure everything will turn out okay."
I turned on my side to look at him.
"I hope so. You know, V, you may be my new favorite." I yawned.
"Good, I like the crazy ones."
We both let out tired laughs.
"Call me Tae." He whispered.
"Okay, Tae. Call me, N/n. Nightie night."

this is not a dream #1 | no, something seems wrong
the real reason ethan was taken under the teamiplier wing | teamiplier/ego au
WARNINGS: suicide, murder, blood, self harm, drug abuse, alcoholism, sex addiction
AN: hey hi hello does anyone remember the one fic i posted in october, previously known as ‘entirely bonkers?’ yeah, well i rewrote it and now it’s this!! ive taken much more time with this fic and given it the attention it deserves, so pretty much all the chapters may be dramatically different from the original version. each chapter title is a line from a different song, which will be listed in the tags.
i have to warn you, this fic is very dark and very graphic. read at your own risk. but also enjoy!!
~October 2016
This was good news. Great news. The best news. This was going to change everything. This was the opportunity of a lifetime. Maybe that’s why Ethan couldn’t stop crying, losing it, unhinging for the thousandth time.
It had been on and off for the last few weeks, the tears. He didn’t know why, but it felt like every little thing made him burst. Not only did Ethan cry, but he also yelled and screamed. Most of all, he would break whatever was in sight. He’ll throw things, punch, kick… He’ll go out in the middle of the night and take a bat to an unsuspecting mailbox. He was usually aware when he did these things, meaning it wasn’t technically a blind rage that sent him into these episodes. He’s gone through several mugs, a few controllers, and he even had to buy a new camera one time. All because of these tears and weird destructive urges he couldn’t control.
He wanted to throw his phone just after this call. It was a good call, though. It was life changing. But he had to force himself to calmly set the device down on his desk and move away from it. Ethan got to his feet, sniffling and sobbing, and then he tore off some of the foam padding on the wall. Did it matter? No, he was moving at the end of the month. He could destroy a few more things.
Foam pads were strewn across the floor by the time he was done. But Ethan still felt… destructive. No, worse. He knew what he wanted to do. He just had the slightest worry that it would actually work this time. But he had to do it.
Blood was pounding in his ears as he pulled on his sweater and beanie. Before he knew it, he was in the car, driving to the location he had been to plenty of times before. He parked some distance away and walked the rest of the way.
In all honesty, he had no idea what led him to this the first time. It was like this feeling in chest and gut, like an impulse. Once it fell into his head, he had to do it immediately. There was no going back. Crying was one of those things he felt like he had to do. This, however… this was a lot darker.
A few cars passed as Ethan approached the bridge. None of them stopped. None of them ever did. He couldn’t help but appreciate that. He didn’t know what would happen if this got back to his family. He had quite a bit to lose, but he still boosted himself up on the railing. This was really stupid, he thought to himself as he looked down at the drop he’d seen many times before.
“Something’s wrong,” he spoke to himself before leaping off.
The cold, bitter air hitting his face was the most painful part, as strange as that was to admit. But what if it actually worked this time? He didn’t even say goodbye to his dad as he left the house. He’d never get to experience that job in Los Angeles. He’d never interact with his online community again. Would this be the one to do it?
“Nope,” Ethan mumbled once he was face down on the ground. Dirt was in his mouth, and his face was numb from the cold. He sat up and coughed, both relieved and disturbed that he didn’t die. Again.
Ethan sat back and brought his knees to his chest, shivering. Was it going to be like this once he moves? Would he be able to control it?
~
“He can’t help us, he’s a kid!” roared the booming voice of Darkiplier. It echoed around the spacious, black room, enough to make any mortal’s blood run cold.
“We need all the help we can get,” replied the soft and frighteningly serene voice of Peevils, who was sat on top of the desk across the room. “Besides, the younger they are, the more powerful they can be.”
Her pitch black eyes gazed down at the stoic mortal sat in the armchair. He was sat up straight, on the edge of his seat. His usual brown eyes had rolled back into his skull and his mouth was gaping open. Dark was was “stood” by the body, his suit clad form flickering with distortion. He was always in black and white, but a blue and red aura was always around him. The biggest thing that fascinated Peevils was that this man, her supposed lover, was impossible to touch. Well that, and she could hear him in her mind and he could speak to her personally, even when their mortals were present.
Peevils, on the other hand, was from a whole other galaxy. She couldn’t quite remember how she got to Earth, much less how she got in contact with her mortal. All she knew was that her mortal was very willing and complicit. Peevils had cool powers too, but she seldom used them on this planet. Her aura often mixed with the mortal’s, making it a weird greyish yellow.
“Maybe you shouldn’t have let your mortal make that decision,” spoke Stoneface in his deep, intimidating voice. No one knew where he came from, or what his true powers were, aside from killing people after intimate affairs. He had much paler skin compared to his mortal, and his eyes were greyer than concrete, while his aura was black. You couldn’t look into his eyes without feeling paralyzed to the spot.
Everything surrounding the trio was dark and dim. The atmosphere was that of another realm. No human would be able to stand with them for very long. No human, except one.
“The mortal needed him for his own desires, not ours,” Dark growled. “And he was coping at the time, so I couldn’t intervene. But… I felt something. It was like a whisper.”
“So we just wait til the boy arrives,” Peevils concluded. “I feel it won’t be a waste.”
“You feel a lot of things,” Stoneface said back.
Her face fell. She stared ahead wordlessly, and imagined what she wanted to happen, and then it was real.
Stoneface immediately started gasping for air, his relaxed composure turning into nothing but pain and panic. His body began to rise up from the couch and it contorted into unnatural folds.
“Mercy! Mercy!” he strained out just before his bones could snap.
Peevils lifted, a ghost of a smile on her face.
Then, the room lightened up. The walls went back to white as the door to the office opened, and the trio were back in the human world, thanks to the one human they all knew.
Kathryn walked in, carrying a brown paper bag. A tall, dark haired, skimpy dressed woman followed behind her, looking curiously around the room. Peevils quickly looked down, knowing her eyes were prone to cause panic, and Dark was nowhere to be seen. The human led the other human over to Stoneface, whose eyes suddenly went back to a humanistic hazel.
“Hi, I’m Tyler,” he greeted, and the woman smiled in returned. He offered his arm. “If you’ll follow me…” And the two were off into another room.
Then, Kathryn turned towards Peevils, but instead was met face to face with Dark, who did not look happy.
“We were having a meeting!” he snapped, trying to look threatening.
She rolled her eyes and moved her arm forward, making the image fade away. After that, she reached into the paper bag and pulled out a plastic ziplock bag that was contained with white powder. Kathryn waved it in the direction of Peevils.
The blonde’s eyes flickered once. Kathryn had her attention now, so she slowly bent down towards the coffee table, opened up the bag and poured out some of the contents onto the glass surface. In the blink of an eye, the alien was sat on the floor in front of the table, using an old business card to make her series of lines. She hunched over the table as she snorted to her heart’s content, and when she looked up, her eyes were not black, but brown and humanlike.
“Alright, Amy’s back,” Kathryn said in affirmation. Then she turned to her boss.
He still had that horrifying expression on his face, but at least the body wasn’t moved. The last thing Kathryn wanted to do today was to pry Dark and his mortal away from something illegal or fatal… not that he could die, anyway.
“Don’t you dare…” the hallucination spoke, appearing behind the armchair.
She didn’t even hesitate to straight up bitch slap the body across the face. The last aura was finally gone, and the body had, for lack of a better phrase, come back to life. He swore in pain and held his cheek.
“Mark?”
“Yeah, what the fuck?”
Kathryn nodded once and pulled the last item from the paper bag. A bottle of Jack Daniel’s. She shoved it into Mark’s hand and then crumpled up the bag, tossing it in the bin.
Mark just sat there for a moment, still coming back to himself. He felt that internal twitch, though, so he twisted the cap off the glass bottle and took a swig. Then he moved to the floor, next to his girlfriend, who was now baked like a fucking cake. Just another day in the office.
Now, Kathryn was able to get back to her actual work. She sat at one of the computers, but then paused as she thought of the newcomer they were expecting. Poor kid had no idea what he was walking into.
~November 2016
The team noticed something about their newest member. It wasn’t what was on the inside, no. Not the reason why they brought him over here.
Ethan was happy. Giddy. Very doe eyed. Upon arriving to the office on the first day, he thanked Mark many times for the opportunity. He was just… not what you would expect from someone like him. He almost seemed normal.
See, when you’re like Mark, Amy, and Tyler, you get this feeling, an instinct, even. They could sense each other’s demons, even when they were dormant. Amy and Tyler feel Darkiplier’s jitters when their Mark got rubbed the wrong way. That was probably because Peevils and Stoneface were so connected to Dark, and by extension, their mortals. They could all sense each other inside and out. In their logical, human eyes, the feeling of the three demons scheming in the background was seen as “impending doom.” The only human able to see past that was Kathryn, and none of them knew why.
But Ethan? He seemed like any ordinary human, and that was just weird. There was almost no impending doom vibes coming from him as the days went on. This wasn’t what they had been expecting.
“So…” Mark prompted one day, “how’ve you been? Y’know… since the move?”
“Fine,” Ethan mindlessly responded. He was on the computer, doing exactly what he was hired for.
The other four exchanged looks. Apart from Kathryn, they were experiencing withdrawals from their… coping. The plan was to get the other guys to meet Ethan’s other guy… just to see what would happen. The latter was proving to be difficult, given that there was no instinct or any indication that his bodily occupant wanted to come out, or that it was even there. Did that guy even have a name?
“You’re f-fine?” Amy repeated irritably, her voice shaking. “Y-You dropped everything, moved all the way here, and you’re just fine?”
Now Ethan caught onto the tension. He turned in his chair, only to feel deeply intimidated by the staring. Something was off, and it wasn’t just the stupid crying fit growing in his chest and throat.
“I’m just glad I’m here,” he said, but it didn’t feel like the right answer.
“What’s wrong with you?” Tyler blurted out.
“What?”
“Jesus fucking christ,” Kathryn sighed in annoyance as she buried her face in her hands.
“God, I’m sorry,” Tyler quickly said. “I didn’t mean that, fuck. I’m an asshole, I’m sorry.”
Mark could feel it, though. A cold chill went down his spine, telling him that he was right to bring Ethan in. He felt a tightness in his throat, this feeling of dread sitting heavy on his shoulders. He hadn’t felt this with the other two, this had to be Ethan.
“You don’t miss what you left behind?” Mark asked as he got up from the couch, putting on a hard face. “I mean… you sacrificed your whole life for this, didn’t you?”
The dread only grew. Ethan shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
“Yeah, but I made that decision,” he timidly replied.
“Like the grown up you think you are?” Amy mocked.
It was there, right there. The four nearly gasped as Ethan’s eyes flickered to black once. But the boy quickly shook himself and stood up.
“I’ll be right back.”
The surge of emotions lifted as soon as he left the room. But then, the walls went black, and the three auras appeared. Meanwhile, Kathryn let out another annoyed groan.
Mark’s body froze where he stood, and his head fell back as Dark made his appearance. Tyler’s body paled, eyes turning grey. Amy appeared sat on top of the coffee table with her legs crossed, eyes black and empty.
“Hey doesn’t even know what he is!” Dark shouted, his image flickering angrily around the room.
“Of course not, he’s a kid,” Peevils shot back coolly. “And you’re not the one who asked him to come here. Why are you concerned now?”
Dark appeared in front of her, his face inches from hers. “I felt it! There is something there, but the boy isn’t letting him through! He’s powerful, and I am powerful. That’s why I could feel him!”
“Don’t make me slap your mortal,” Peevils threatened as she waved her hand through him.
“So what do we do?” Stoneface asked, getting the couple back on track. “Do we let the mortals handle it?”
“Provoking him did help a little bit,” Peevils pointed out.
“Yes,” Dark agreed. “They have to push him past his limits. Whatever it takes. If they have to destroy whatever humanity he has left in him, then so be it. He has to be disturbed, humiliated. Anything to get to what’s truly lying within.”
“So you guys are going to go silent, then?” Kathryn asked.
“It’s the only option,” Peevils confirmed.
That prompted the human to quickly flee the office. She had to make a big order.
~
Ethan managed to find a corner store down the road. The blind rage he went through caused him to break more things, and his knuckles were bleeding yet again. He also debated jumping off one of the high buildings, but this city was far too busy for anyone to not notice. Instead, he found another solution. He was sure his ‘friends/colleagues’ wouldn’t miss him for a few more minutes. Or at all.
Tear tracks were on his face as he went through the aisles. Look at him, a grown 20 year old, unable to control his crying. How did he get like this? He was never this emotional about anything! Sure, the group had ganged up on him, but things like that weren’t likely to make him burst into tears.
He calmed down some more when he found rubbing alcohol and bandages. However, there was only one box left of the latter, and it was pink and flowery. Reluctantly, he took the box and went into the next aisle. There were painkillers, vitamins, and sleep aids. For a second, a flash of lacing his friends’ drinks with pills went through his mind. It was short, but vivid. One by one, passing out around him.
He chuckled and kept walking. “Yeah right…” Then, he stopped in his tracks, went back and grabbed the biggest bottle of sleeping pills he could find.
After paying for his items (and getting some weird looks from the cashier), Ethan settled for sitting under the awning outside the store. He didn’t feel like going back to the office just yet, despite the fact that it was already getting dark. As he tended to his hand injury, he tried to forget all that he damaged. Several cars parked on the side of the road now had cracked windshields, and a few more mailboxes were wrecked. He could only hope that there weren’t any witnesses. He had only been in LA for about a week, he couldn’t get arrested now.
“Hey darlin’,” greeted a sickly sweet female voice.
He turned to find a red headed woman perching down next to him. She was wearing a rather revealing top under a fur coat along with a really short skirt. It rode up as she crouched down, making Ethan lose his words for a moment.
“H-Hi,” he replied, keeping his eyes on his injured hand.
“Did you get into a fight, honey?” the woman asked.
“Something like that…”
“Strong man, aren’t ya?”
“I wouldn’t say that. I’m putting on Hello Kitty bandaids.”
The woman giggled and moved closer to him. “Strong and cute.”
There was a feeling. Pinning her to the ground, a hand around her neck as the back of her head hitting the concrete. Slamming her head into the ground until she bled to death. Watching her green eyes lose their panic and fade into nothingness. Is it bad that it was nice to think about?
“Marsha!” called a familiar voice.
It was Kathryn. She approached the pair, her hood up and her hands in the pocket. Ethan was relieved to see her.
The redhead got to her feet. “You’re not here to send me to that friend of yours again, are you?”
“Why, do you have other plans?” she asked in return.
“Yes! I found a new friend!” Marsha pointed down at the boy with Hello Kitty bandaids.
Kathryn glanced down at him. “Yeah, not him. Can’t afford to have Tyler beat his ass right now.”
That was both confusing and not reassuring at all. Could Ethan down the whole bottle of pills without either woman noticing?
“Well, I’m not going. I’ll ask Sydney. She knows where to find you guys,” Marsha said in conclusion.
“Awesome. Ethan, get up.”
He didn’t need telling twice. Kathryn gestured for him to follow, and they walked back towards the office together.
“What’d you do?” she asked, nodding towards his hand.
“Don’t ask,” he said with a sigh. Not like he could properly explain it, anyway.
Luckily, she didn’t press the topic. When they approached the building, she stopped in her tracks and pulled a brown paper bag from under her sweater.
“I won’t ask questions,” she told Ethan. “But neither will you.”

my stream of consciousness during death note (2017)
So I finally watched this shit show last night, and kept a running document of every thought I had in order. Here are some of the top ones: (under the cut because....it gets a little long. it’s worth it though!)
okay so first of all what the fuck is this opening song.
LOSER LIGHT GETS PAID TO DO PEOPLES HOMEWOEK.
Wow I wish I was as cool as goth head cheerleader Misa Mia
Ooh look at that chemistry
Light looks like a failed wannabe white guy kpop star
Someone gif those opening "death note" letters please
What's with the fucking illuminati symbols on the book ??
Rain makes everything more symbolic I can't believe the creativity of their choices
Aw he's seeing a girl get bullied OF COURSE that's motivation enough to kill
I can't believe Light is a feminist icon stepping in to save Misa Mia like that.
Oh god his whole speech about “technically you bullying me is child abuse” needs to be a copypasta. Someone needs to slap that kid.
SOMEONE JUST SLAPPED THAT KID.
Why does his voice sound like that
Why does his face look like that
Why does he have frosted tips
I can't believe Light is the loser loner pining after the head cheerleader with a girlfriend.
Light is ?? A troublemaker ???
Why is the death note so crusty looking
Marbles.
LIGHT'S SCREAMS MAKE ME SCREAM I want that as my ringtone
"Shall we begin." Wow I love Star Trek Into Darkness.
"Some 8 foot tall demon looking motherfucker" is honestly the best possible description of Ryuk so at least they got that one right.
RIP Light's first victim, Kenny Doyle. You will be missed.
This Bitch chooses one of the most violent possible deaths for his first victim ???? But canon light didn't like. Start out wanting to cause his victims physical pain. He's not a sadist he's a moral janitor.
CANON LIGHT WOULD HAVE THOUGHT CHEATING WAS A BIG DEAL !! HE WOULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE LIKE HIMSELF !!
Oh my god he's so angsty just get a fucking diary.....wait...
Wow I love blatant exposition dropping. I wonder how many times him and his dad have had that exact same conversation over dinner conveniently explained Light's tragic backstory.
Because this is America. You can't kill people without a tragic backstory (if you're white)
Is he going to scream like that every time Ryuk shows up?
"Your fingers are huge." Hmm? Why do you care about that, Light? Unless you have something you want to share with the class?
I can't believe they changed Ryuk's motivation that's like everything about him as a character. He didn’t say he was bored like, a single time in this whole series what’s the point.
He has a whole file on his tragic backstory that he keeps laying around in his room this is next level bullshit.
JESUS FUCKINF CHRIST LIGHT WHAT HAPPENED TO SIMPLE HEART ATTACKS
He. Impaled himself. On a steak knife.
Light's mom was a hippie !!!!!
I can't believe Light's motivation is "karma's a bitch" what an icon.
I can't believe Misa Mia’s turned on by murder.
Actually. I can believe that.
Light's just. Carrying around the death note right in the open.
"I can't tell you” *brief pause* “so you really want to know?" BITCH YOU EIDN'T EVEN LET HER ANSWER. SHE SEEMED SO UNINTERESTED ANYWAY. WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS COMPULSIVE NEED TO CONFESS THAT YOU’RE A MURDERER!
LIght wants pussy that bad.
"Your poetry sucks" okay I actually kind of like that line, Misa Mia’s a snarky bitch like she deserves to be.
She looks bored. Light she doesn't want part of your murder fest !! you don't have to confess so often !!
as soon as the police swat car hit that guy my friend turned to me and said "when you're a police officer but still text and drive"
Ooh blurry lights that's an edgy cinnamon topography choice.
I don’t like how everyone in this movie is all mumbling.
How many people are going to make mood boards out of the scene where Light and Misa Mia are leaning against that neon sign???
"Do you think I'm crazy?" "If anything I think you're not crazy enough" wow I love the joker and harley quinn!! normal is just a setting on the dryer~~~ rawr
TEHY'RE POST MURDER FUCKING
I said out loud "I can't believe they're going to post murder fuck" and my friend said "But you'd think that was kinky in high school" and i said "hell I think that's kinky now" why am i like this
I can't believe this whole murder fuck montage. They're so cute and in love. My friend just said “relationship goals” and i want to turn off this movie.
Is that Beastly in their school library????
"What they want is a god."
Okay actually I can see Light getting off on talking about he's a god while fucking. I've read enough fanfiction to prepare me for that scene.
Why does he look like that??
I just love that "Kira saves" graffiti
Why did Kira kill 11 people in a nightclub what did they do ? so serial cheating for money is okay but getting drunk and having sex isn’t?? alright Light.
L looks like a serial killer with the mask and the hoodie and the dead bodies and I’m.......not loving the look
WATARI ISN'T EVEN JAPANESE. THAT'S NOT EVEN HIS NAME. WHY IS THE ONLY JAPANESE ACTOR THE ONLY CHARACTER CANONICALLY NOT JAPANESE.
I appreciate his continued sweets addiction though. He is. The only good thing in this movie.
Is he singing wizard of oz what the fu k is happening in this movie
Why do they all talk so quiet
the most inaccurate thing that’s happened so far is actually L taking a nap
Could Light act....a little LESS blatantly on Kira's side????
Detective James Turner.
Honestly this movie is just......boring.
I feel like the voices are at a much lower volume than the music and it’s just...bad
How does he know Kira's in Seattle ??? Is this explained or did I just miss it ???
"What would you do if some guy fucked me?" "I’d kill him." Wow I love this scene in Baby Driver.
I want that furniture.
Oh I get it. His voice is muffled because of that fucking face mask.
"Rest your glutes"
All the things they could have kept and they kept L and Watari giving Light's dad ice cream?
Okay we see Light and Misa at school all the time, but are they ever ??? In class ??
OF COURSE L IMMEDIATELY GOES ON NATIONAL TV
L in a big black hoodie with the big American flag waving in the background is exactly what I expected out of this adaptation.
Light telling Ryuk to shut the fuck up is something I imagined hundreds of times in the anime but never thought I would be lucky enough to see on screen.
"Besides I think you can tell when you're sitting across from a killer like Kira." HAHAHAHAHA WOW I LOVE THIS DRAMATIC IRONY !!
Light is smart. We know this because we keep saying how smart he is. It doesn’t matter that he’s not making any smart decisions. We said he’s smart so he is.
I can't believe it's dark outside and they're both wearing sunglasses. You know who wears sunglasses indoors? Douche bags. And blind people.
Ooh Misa Mia doesn't want to pop popcorn and murder a few people there's gotta be trouble in Hollywood romance paradise
I hate the music choices in this movie. a lot.
"There are no sides. Only the game.” what.
I can believe Misa Mia’s casually watching torture porn on tv
WHY IS LIGHT'S DAD BASICALLY COMMITTING SUICIDE BY ANNOUNCINF HIS NAME AND HAVINF A PRESS CONFERENCE AND WHY DOES HIS VOICE SOUND LIKE THAT. there's a difference between not being afraid and being a fucking idiot !!!
I can't believe Light just admitted to not being the good guys anymore.
I CAN'T BELIEVE MISA MIA IS LIGHT ???
Light needs to put his dick away. He really needs to put his dick away.
The cafe scene is really aesthetically pleasing and I hate it.
"I don't do check, Light, only checkmate" FUUUUCK.
IS THIS HOe FUXKING ADMITTING ?? THIS DUMB HOE IS ADMITTING TO BEING A SERIAL MURDERER AND ASKING L TO JOIN HIM THIS IS. A SHITTY FANFICTION. WHY IS HE SO DUMB. WHY DOES HE CONFESS TO WVERYONE HE TALKS TO.
Is Light going to get back with her just because she said I love you ?? LIGHT SHE TRIED TO KILL UR DAD respect yourself !!
Watari isn't his real name ???? Also what's the point leaving him alive? Free ice cream? Jesus light.
Why do they say Kira with the accent if it's not Japanese ?
L is.....coming slightly unhinged.....he seems.... to have a lot more anger issues that he needs to work through.
LIGHT IN A TOP HAT. I can't believe they're going to this dance.
I just said "At a certain point it's not even entertaining anymore. It's just pathetic." and my friend, who is now drunk, said "I'm still pretty entertained but maybe it's because I'm drunk."
I can't believe L grew up in that creepy ass murder shack.
Actually. I can believe L grew up in that creepy ass murder shack. Also I saw the illuminati symbol like five times in that house so what's the truth????
HE DOES HAVE A NORMAL PEOPLE SCARE ME STICKER IN HIS LOCKER I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN EDIT.
Lmao I can't believe Misa Mia was the real mastermind the whole time. "You don't get to feel morally superior for being a pussy." OH SHIT. Oh my fuckin god he fuckin dead.
also L needs to calm the fuck down. Do they not teach you how to drive in the orphanage?
I don't know just what happened with that store owner attacking the armed black man assaulting the teenager in an alley way but it felt racist.
Light is desperate and pathetic. Has he made....a single smart decision?
"JESUS TAKE THE FERRIS WHEEL!!! TAKE IT FROM MY HAND !!!"
Chicago's I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love? Are you fucking kidding me?
At least Misa Mia died how she lived. Aesthetically pleasing.
What the fuck is even happening in this movie. HE CONFESSED TO HIS DAD TOO.
"I thought I was going to kill all the bad guys and re good guys would win but it wasn't like that" OH LOOK !! CONVENIENTLY A MORAL !!
and in the end, the white loner character who develops a god complex and goes on a murderous rampage killing hundreds of people and declaring himself god.....gets away with it......but at least he learned a valuable lesson about the nature of good and evil !!!!
anyway those are my thoughts I hope you liked them !!
#death note#netflix death note#netflix#listen i...had a lot of thoughts#and anyway i;m very angry#i gave it 1 star#i hope this gave you all closure#light turner#light yagami
