❝ haikyuu boys reacting to getting headlice ❞

an - i couldnt possibly tell you where the motivation to write this came from but here you go

HINATA SHOUYO

-> he doesn’t care. they’re little bugs living rent free in his head? who is he to kick them off his head when they’ve probably settled, made a nice home and got a growing family started? considerate king but disgusting

KAGEYAMA TOBIO

-> disgusted. but also thinks just a few rinses of water will do the trick. he doesn’t understand he’s actually got to get in there and pull them out. miwa is horrified walking into the bathroom to see tobio leaned over the bath with a tub full of cold water he’s ultimately wasted. he’s lucky miwa knows what she’s doing

TSUKISHIMA KEI

-> no mercy. rips the little mfs off his head like nobodies business. his brother can only stare in awe and disturbance. kei isn’t scared over a few bugs they’re only a minor annoyance. he won’t tell a soul he had headlice though and if anyone were to snitch on him, he’d probably shake a few off his head and onto yours.

YAMAGUCHI TADASHI

-> stressed. his hairs kinda long so they’re a pain the ass to get out some may think he’d be a little hesistant to tackle them alone but yams has several lice killing lotions in his bathroom ready to use. he is sympathetic but no way is he letting little bugs crawl around his head while he’s around tsukki

TANAKA RYUUNOSUKE

-> the bugs don’t even get to step on this kings prestine head,, next caller !!

NISHINOYA YUU

-> merciless. who tf do these bugs think they are stepping onto his territory? feral. probably put a few in a jar after pulling them out to bark at them and show them that they’ve crossed the line stepping onto his head

ASAHI AZUMANE

-> have sympathy for the guy they’re gonna be a nightmare for him. more upset than anything. now he’s being reduced to being ridiculed by tiny ass bugs too? give the guy a break. gets them out within the first day because he’s not going to suffer longer than he has to and continues doing the treatment for the rest of the week even though they’re certainly long gone

SUGAWARA KOUSHI

-> brutal. like tsukki he’s got no shame in just ripping them out. suga is the type of guy to catch spiders and gently let them out the window and not kill them. lice don’t get that treatment from him. will straight up throw them down the drain and smirk in the process

DAICHI SAWAMURA

-> just another minor occurrence for him. he’s got short hair it’s no biggie. will probably get his mother to help just to make sure he does it right but overall he’ll get rid of them effectively and quickly you wouldn’t even be able to tell he had them in the first place

KINDAICHI YUUTAROU

-> good. he deserves them. maybe this will teach him to get a good haircut. at least the lice like your cut g

KUNIMI AKIRA

-> tortures them after. probably wets a paper towel to keep them stuck to and jabs at them with a thin needle after he’s got them out. sadist little bitch probably has a deadpan expression while doing it too. the lice fear him across the country and avoid him from now on

KYOTANI KENTARO

-> again he’s got short hair so they’re not too big of a pain to get out but why the hell did they have to pick his head? probably picks them out and just throws them wherever he has no regard for where they land and who might catch them from him

HANAMAKI TAKAHIRO

-> little bugs are just chilling no biggie. probably tells the team he’s got them and shakes his head near them to piss them off. oikawa keeps his distance approximately 5 metres and refuses to be included in any rotation makki is in during practice. even after he gets rid of them he doesn’t tell the team and continues shaking his head near them just to ‘keep them on their toes’

MATSUKAWA ISSEI

-> won’t tell anyone other than makki. the two probably pick them out and throw them in oikawas direction leaving their captain confused as to why the hell the two of them keep throwing ‘nothing’ at him. probably gets rid of them within a week and sleeps with a shower cap on so they don’t touch his pillow, that’s his only rule while they spend their vacation on his head

IWAIZUMI HAJIME

-> isn’t scared of no bugs. probably would keep one and press it down just to stick in his childhood bug diary and sneers at how inferior the lice is compared to the other cooler bugs he’d caught before. his hairs short so again it’s not a huge issue for him. he’ll get rid of them quickly and effectively without too much hassle

OIKAWA TOORU

-> screams. begs iwa to take them out for him insisting that it’s his hobby but iwa rejects and leaves oikawa to handle it alone. oikawas sister dips as soon as she finds out and oikawa believes this is the end of his life. after a week of moping and being a brat, iwa gives in and sorts it out for him to finally give him a peace of mind.

LEV HAIBA

-> never had lice before and is genuinely interested rather than concerned. where did the little bugs come from? why do they like his hair so much? is he the chosen one? probably let’s them live on his head for a while until they become infuriatingly itchy and yaku finds out he’s been letting a cult of lice live on his head and forces him to get treatment

KOZUME KENMA

-> thinks bleach with solve it. everyone who hates kenma’s dark roots better be ready for them to go because he will just bleach the shit out of his hair and assume it’s killed them all. for the next few months his hairs gonna be nice but he’ll let his roots grow out again and you’ll secretly hope for him to catch lice again just so he’ll touch up his damn roots again

TAKETORA YAMAMOTO

-> it’s the blonde mohawk that’s the issue. why tf did he have to make his hair to awkward to work with. doesn’t take him long to get out but he probably picks them out walking home from practice or school and just chucks them in bushes or drains he walks past

MORISUKE YAKU

-> you really think he’s about to let some stupid bugs live on his head and not pay rent? absolutely not. has several different brands of lice treatment lotion and uses at least 4 in one go. that amount of chemicals probably isn’t good for you in one go but his only goal is to kill the lice which he achieves. these bugs are mercilessly killed, revived and killed again all in one treatment session

KUROO TETSURŌ

-> this hurt to write knows exactly how to kill them and won’t hesitate in doing so. by that i mean he’s going straight to his grandmother to do it for him because as much as he knows about treatment and such, nobody does anything better than his grandmother and he’ll sit in a chair with a towel around his neck chattering on about his day as his poor grandmother slaves over his head ripping out the stupid bugs from his inconviently styled hair. kuroo’s lucky his grandmother knows he’s her boy

AKAASHI KEIJI

-> bless his soul he’s horrified. disgusting little creatures, believes they’re vermin of the world. mutters in disgust at them as he watches them drown in the pool of water in his bathtub sink eventually sending them down the drain where he hopes they suffer a painful afterlife

KONOHA AKINORI

-> he’s grossed out but doesn’t make a huge deal about it. probably violates himself and gives himself the nickname ‘nitty nori the bug explorer’. he can take a joke and get rid of them in the same week. ugh king shit

BOKUTO KOUTARŌ

-> pain in the ass. he’s excited about these bugs but also worried? do they want to suck his blood? will they crawl into his ears at night? his sisters are the ones responsible with dealing with them and the whole time he’s asking a abundance of random questions regarding the lice and why they chose his head to make their residence

TENDŌ SATORI

-> probably sings at them to make them uncomfortable as he pulls them out. his fingers work magic as he flawlessly picks them out and sends them on their way down to the depths of the drain. the last thing these bugs hear is the terrifying voice of the man who mercilessly sent them to their death beds

USHIJIMA WAKATOSHI

-> his hairs short it’s okay it’s not the end of the world but rather than killing them he believes they have more use to them. he’s going to throw them in this soil in the garden and assume they work the same miracles worms do. he’ll be disappointed to know that they had no effect on his soil and he wasted his damn time making sure to evenly spread them out of the compost heap

MIYA OSAMU

-> will eat with a hat on. if these bugs are gonna live on his head no way is he sharing his food too. they’ve already taken enough from him. atsumu probably bullies him for his lice but freaks out when osamu tells him that because they’re twins, the lice will seek out his head too and they’ll both be infected. he only survives the short period of time with his lice because of the amusement he gets from watching atsumu consciously stay away from him even to the point where atsumu moves onto the couch. maybe he should let the lice vacate a little longer next time

MIYA ATSUMU

-> hates them. calls them every name under the sun but doesn’t actually effectively try to get rid of them. he doesn’t actually know how to get rid of them but is too embarrassed to admit it so he just lives with it. luckily, the lice decided to move in a few days before his hair was due for a touch up so like kenma, he just bleached the shit out of them and it seems to do the trick. it would be concerning had his hair not needed a touch up though who knows how long he would’ve had them.

SUNA RINTARŌ

-> his little sister notices his hand scratching his head constantly and begins to refer to suna as ‘nit boy’ and only ‘nit boy’. he doesn’t really care at first because surely a single shower will do the trick but his sisters provoking gets so annoying he just ends up treating them 7 times over but not before threatening to leave a few dead ones on his sisters pillow if she doesn’t stop calling him names

ARAN OJIRO

-> again, the lice don’t even get to step on his head. they see aran and they respect him. he seems like a nice and reliable guy so why would they go to the efforts of bothering him? probably nod their tiny ass antennas from atsumu’s hair and let aran go about his day in peace

KITA SHINSUKE

-> lice simply don’t exist in kita’s presence. the second a lice stepped foot on kita’s head, he senses it and ripped the mf off before it could even find a nice area to settle. lice keep away from kita at all times and never intend on crossing paths with him

KIYOOMI SAKUSA

-> an indescribable level of disgusted. refuses to accept it at first, insists that lice simply wouldn’t have been able to touch his head but alas he is wrong. tempted to shave his hair off but then again why should he have to suffer just because some stupid bugs said so. has no mercy, will treat his hair every day for the next month and a half and cusses the bugs out as they fall down the drain

general taglist → @atsumuwoah @bloody-bella @bbymilkbread @miracleboy420 @doggonudez @tsumue @peteunderoos @tsukkisbean @saturnfarie @dear-kozume @zumisace @boosyboo9206 @totorosleaff @27kei @dai-tsukki-desu @angrylittleriri @tsukkaria @kuxredere @warakou @mattsuny @lovinnoya @sophiashortcake @wompwomphq @waitforitillwritemywayout

sometimes I feel like I’m faking this whole “chronic pain” deal. Like I’ll have a good few days and be like “pfff am I even sick?” (usually still with some kind of brace on because the joints in my hands are a lie). And then I spend a few hours doing house chores or I go for a longer walk without strapping up my entire left leg and all of a sudden it’s like “ooooohhh right that pain. that’s the pain that apparently other people don’t feel”

I have a really weird relationship with my illness. On the one hand I have adapted really well to needing mobility aids and having to take various painkillers daily to cope. Especially considering it’s only really been a year since this started to widely affect my daily life. (untrue I have been using a knee brace for around 4 years and have been carrying painkillers with me everywhere for even longer (I just get better ones now))

But Because of the nature of hyper mobility spectrum disorders, I have been suffering the symptoms for far longer than I ever realized. When I was young I was taken to see a specialist because I told my mum my knees hurt so much it kept me awake at night. The doctor said of course, I had hyper mobility and was growing. Perfectly normal. So, seven or so year old me internalized that as “everyone feels this, this is fine”. So I never brought it up again. And what with almost going deaf with various ear infections I never thought much of it. I never thought much of the blinding pain I felt when I jumped from the swings. I figured thats just how ankles feel. I never questioned the pain in my bones. When my feet hurt so much I thought I was going to throw up, I figured no one else was complaining so it must be normal. It never occurred to me that they didn’t feel the same. When I was 15 I mentioned to a doctor my back hurt ALL the time. She said it was natural. So I figured everyone’s back hurt that much. Besides isn’t that a meme of our generation? (It wasn’t until this year after over ten years I realized the pain was because my hips sublux and shift their alignment) And after that I moved around a lot until I came to settle here. I didn’t see a doctor for about 4 years. And the first time I went to see a doctor about the pain in my bones was only two years ago. I’m lucky that although there have been some terrible doctors in this time like the guy who I went to see in September, when my body was in its worst flare up ever (I had NO IDEA what was happening at the time) and my right hand was fucked. (Looking back on it now I’m pretty fucking sure I had dislocated my wrist and at least two fingers but at the time I didn’t know that was a thing that could happen from washing dishes.) Who didn’t even LOOK at my wrist. Did not ask me a SINGLE question aside from if I could put my hand down flat on his desk (I could not even straighten out my fingers) And declared I had arthritis, prescribed me not a single painkiller and sent me for blood tests. And the lady who I saw post blood tests who told me the good news, not arthritis, but could not understand why that made me break down in floods of tears (because hey lady, if it’s not that then WHY THE FUCK DO I HURT ALL THE TIME?!!?!) And instead of talking to me wrote me a prescription that upset me even more. (I mean who tf thinks its a good idea to give a clearly upset person medication that says ANTIDEPRESSANTS on the label and not think to explain, “oh no I don’t think you’re mental and just need to calm down. This medication is more commonly used as pain relief now.”) I have also been lucky enough to be seen by a very kind EMT at my doctors office and a really lovely GP, who both referred me to a physiotherapist and my GP has me on a waiting list to see a rheumatologist.

Although it feels brand new, I have been fighting this for so much longer than I ever had words for. The only difference is that now I know what tools are available to me to help. And I know I am allowed to use them. I am not ashamed for needing a walking stick sometimes. And sometimes that makes me feel more fake. Because I read all the time about people and their struggle to accept their mobility aids. It’s only taken me 6 months of understanding to give in and adapt to taking mine with me everywhere. So maybe I am faking it. Maybe I don’t need it. Maybe im not as bad as I keep telling people I am.

Even though my life turned upside down last year with my illness. I still get that feeling that this is just how everyone feels. Even though my PT every time, reminds me its not. Even though my friends tell me it’s not. I’m still waiting for someone to point me out. “they’re not disabled!!!” Im still waiting to be called an attention seeker. I’m still not used to being aloud to be in pain. People get sick of hearing about pain. But I HAVE to talk about mine. When I reach my limits I have to say so or face my body’s consequences. I’m still getting used to that.

I guess what I’m saying is, I am getting better at looking after my body. But I struggle to allow myself to identify with this new life. I struggle with the word spoonie, even though it covers how I feel so well. I struggle with the word disabled, even when I am, less able. I know part of it is from not having a diagnosis. I know what I think it is... but for now I am just the same as everyone else. There could well be nothing wrong. They still have time to tell me it was all in my head. And that fills me with so much fear. so much dread.

#big ol rant/ string of consciousness under the cut #chronic pain #spoonie #idk I was doing house work and then had feelings #hypermobilty syndrome

dolphin keeper!seokmin

pairing: dolphin keeper!lee seokmin x vet!reader (n) genre: fluff word count: 1,840 a/n: this has been sitting in my drafts for forever, i’m sorry it took me so long to finally finish it!! anyways, this was such a cute concept and i’m so glad i was able to write it :’) thank you for the request!! ♡ best read on desktop, use mobile browser if you can’t read under the cut ♡

lee seokmin is the cutest funniest dolphin keeper in the universe

first fell in love with the ocean when his family went on a trip to jeju when he was eight

they were walking around the coast and seok absolutely?? was just mesmerized with the way the waves crashed against the ocean,, the beautiful tones of blue in the waves,, his big eyes peering into the water to look at the little fish swimming around ugh so precious

literally begged his parents to let him take swimming lessons as soon as he got home

and that was the start of a beautiful perfect pair: seokmin and the ocean

at first he wanted to be a marine biologist, but after a seventh grade field trip to the aquarium and seeing one of the scuba divers in the tanks with the fish, he changed his mind -- he wanted to do that!!

luckily one of his friends seungkwan, who was a sloth cuddler at the zoo, mentioned that there was an opening for a dolphin keeper position!

seokmin at the interview: “wanna see my seal impression?”

at first he was a little nervous since he had no experience whatsoever,, accidentally tripped on the fish bucket when first meeting the dolphins

but once he met gyul and podo? literal heart eyes

as soon as he saw them,, immediately wanted to get into the pool and swim with them

“seokmin wait you don’t have proper gear on” “it’s fine!! i’m willing to take the risk!!”

can you imagine him in a blue wetsuit, yellow fishing type overalls with a cute lil dolphin patch in the middle!! i’m sad

turns out, seokmin is really good with dolphins the same way he’s great with people!!

podo is absolutely enthralled with seok.. she thinks he’s soooo handsome!! always squeaks when he comes into the pool~

gyul gets a little jealous,, but he doesn’t mind since seok always sneaks him extra squid snacks

they’re his actual children, literally seokmin walking into the pool room: “where are my babies~~”

does demonstrations for elementary school kids!! he teaches them how to “speak gyul and podo’s language” and also gives a presentation on how to reduce plastic waste

honestly really cute, super endearing seeing seok and a bunch of eight year olds squeaking with the dolphins

has a bunch of drawings of him and the dolphins hung up on his fridge back home,, he always gets them in his work mailbox as thank you notes!!

okay but listen,, as great as he is with children and dolphins alike,, seokmin wasn’t necessarily the.. most careful keeper at the zoo..

to be honest, everyone was a little worried at how clumsy seok was,, but they realized how much the dolphins loved him and so they just kinda deal with it

accidentally slipped and fell into the pool while trying to get one of podo’s toys,,,, it’s fine

you, on the other hand, just recently graduated from vet school, and having interned at the zoo for years now, they offered you a job right away

you watched a ton of animal documentaries growing up!! and honestly, going to the zoo was one of your favorite things to do as a kid,,

so it was no surprise that your dream was to work with animals!! but you’ve always had a soft spot for marine life :(

your first encounter with seokmin was super brief, when you had stopped by the break room to buy some coffee,, he was soaked.. bunches of paper towels in his hands,,

poor kid was trying to dry himself with paper towels and so naturally you just offered some help

seok didn’t even notice you come in!! but when he looked over to see whose voice it was,, perhaps his heart skipped a beat or two,,

“i’m okay, don’t worry! it’s just.. i fell into the pool again and i also forgot to do the laundry so we don’t have any towels..” he rambled, his ears burning a shade of tomato red

“i’m sure we have extra towels at the clinic? and i think the others would like it if there wasn’t a huge puddle of water in the break room,,” you giggled, seok shooting you a confused look

“you work at the clinic?” “yeah, i’m the new vet”

and literally seokmin drops his paper towels and palms his forehead bc,, how tf he gonna look so STUPID in front of the new vet

also since when has the new vet been so cute?

“so,, do you still want a towel?” “please... that’d be nice”

and so that’s how seok ends up in your office for the first time, cracking stingray jokes and drying out his hair while you’re sitting on top of your desk, laughing at the very cute but clumsy dolphin keeper

you don’t really see seokmin all that much for a while, since there was a pretty bad infection going around the seals, you dedicated your time to them

but to be honest seokmin can’t get you out of his head,, he keeps thinking about the cute vet that laughs at his jokes

one day seok asks you to come to the dolphin exhibit because gyul isn’t acting like his normal self and he was absolutely worried,, ran straight to your office

turns out poor baby has indigestion :(

the reason? seok tripped when he was feeding them and the whole bucket of herrings fell straight into the pool

you, jaw dropped to the floor: “are you being serious”

seokmin: “yes listen i’m really sorry okay i tried to stop him from eating all of them but he’s just.. too fast”

you can’t help but laugh at how,, silly seokmin is!! literally the kid has a heart of gold but also legs made out of jello

the two of you are just in the pool, gyul is nuzzling you as you rub his belly,, podo is circling seokmin nervously,, he has to calm her down poor baby girl :(

but you figure out the problem, gyul just has to take some meds and go on a strict diet for the next two weeks!!

you offer to stop by everyday to check up on gyul,, in case seok needs help taking care of him or anything

you may or may not… use this.. as an excuse to see seokmin

gyul starts to grow super fond of you,, squeaking and swimming to the edge of the pool every time you walk into the room!!

but podo doesn’t like you bc she thinks you’re too close to her favorite keeper

even if you give her squid snacks,, she won’t eat them unless seok gives them to her

you’re a little bummed by it, but you know not every animal is going to fall in love with you,, it is a little hard though, especially if you’re the one responsible for their health

two weeks pass and gyul is all better, but podo is still a bit aggressive towards you,,

seokmin’s new mission: getting podo to like you!!

him: “have you thought about dressing as a clown? she’d find it funny”

you: “what”

him: “ok i guess we’ll move onto plan b?”

honestly it’s really cute it’s kind of like he’s trying to convince his little sister that his significant other isn’t a bad person

you and seokmin spend the next couple of days,, coming up with a plan in the break room during lunch

the two of you finding out more about each other along the way, sharing your love for the ocean and marine life!!

seokmin finally gets the courage to ask for your number,, the first text you get from him is a photo of him and gyul in the pool :(

honestly?? you squealed into your pillow that night LMAO

you make it routine to send him cute photos of seals and otters,, he sends you penguin memes probably

your coworkers would start to notice,, teasing you while you’re doing paperwork in your office,, nurses “i see you spending time with that cute dolphin keeper,, when’s the wedding?”

they’d tease you even more once they saw how red your cheeks would get,, because honestly, the more time you spent with seokmin, the more you realized that not only is he handsome, but he has the purest heart in the world

even if he is.. a little clumsy.. and forgetful.. he puts the animals before himself and you love that about him!!

but this was work,, there was no place for any sort of relationship here

seokmin on the other hand?? has three heart emojis next to your name on his phone

absolutely smitten with you,, knew you were the one for him when you first got into the pool, the smile on your face when gyul swam up to you,, he thought you shined brighter than the sun (as cheesy as that sounds it’s true)

he really wanted to take you to his favorite beach,, in jeju,, where he first fell in love with the ocean

but he had to ask you on a date first and honestly,, he wasn’t even sure if you felt the same way

feelings aside, the two of you come to the conclusion that you should try,, spending time with podo by yourselves, without seokmin

so for the next few days,, while seokmin was on his lunch break, you’d hop into the pool and hang out with the dolphins for a little bit!!

gyul was so happy to see you again,, but podo distanced herself a bit from you,, staying in the corner of the pool until seokmin came back

until one day,, gyul was in a different pool for training, and it was just you and podo,,

and you figured,, might as well try one more time,, holding out her favorite squid snack

slowly but surely,, podo came to you, taking the squid snack,, even letting you pat her head!!

you were absolutely over the moon, because after months of hostility,, this was the first time podo had ever let you pet her,,

as soon as seok came back from his break,, you threw your arms around his neck,, telling him that the plan worked!! and even though she wasn’t in love with you yet,, this was a start and progress should be celebrated regardless of how big or small

seok’s face is literally tomato red at this point but thank god you can’t see it,,

“we should celebrate after work then”

and you look at him,, his eyes trying to avoid yours in case you reject him,,, and you do it

you peck him quickly on the cheek,, and you’re just like, “yeah, i think we should”

before he can say anything,, you realize what you did and your face turns into a tomato,, your hands flying up to your lips,, like i can’t believe i just kissed him

but he grins, taking your hands into his, intertwining his fingers with yours,, pressing his lips against your knuckles

“so it’s a date?”

The Untamed liveblog, eps. 8-15

The rabbit scene was already in the previous episode! What is this editing? Are these episodes from different cuts of the show or something?

Why is it unmanly to hold rabbits? Also DON'T THROW SMALL ANIMALS LIKE INANIMATE OBJECTS FOR FUCK'S SAKE

Ok but I'm getting concerned for these rabbits. Did Yi feed them before? Has WWX been feeding them since then? Are they gonna be alright? This is very important!

Does the phrase that LWJ keeps really mean "How boring"? That doesn't make much sense.

Oh so that's the name of the guy who hangs out with WWX... I've been wondering for several episodes

wtf is happening in the falling petal scene

I'm getting the feeling that a full-sized adventure got condensed into two scenes. WTF does "The Yin Iron deprived the peony, the leading flower, and the true Lady Florist was held in captivity" mean???

Anyway why are you sharing this top-secret info, that even your siblings aren't allowed to know, with a buddy from your class?

Clever trick, Wen Qing!

Am I finally getting a back-to-back fight?..

So, if the statues steals people's "spiritual cognition" (=souls?), and the Wen guy making them into puppets was a separate thing, then why did their spiritual cognition return not when the statue was subdued, but when Wen's bird was killed?

Wait, since when does Jiang Cheng know about the Yin Iron?

WWX is SO offended someone wants to be more smug and insolent than him

So now they're talking openly about the Yin Iron right in front of those two strangers...

How did they start the conversation at night in one location and continue at daytime at a different location, and not the one where the characters were heading

Seriously who tf calls their castle "The Unclean Realm"

Does Xue Yang's face not get tired from non-stop smirking? Is it frozen like this? Is he this world's Joker?

omg did LWJ just smile at hearing WWX's voice

Alright, when 10 minutes ago I thought "Meng Yao, sweetie, kill that clown", this is not what I had in mind

SOMEBODY GIVE MENG YAO A HUG (after some emergency medical care) HE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG IN HIS LIFE. Can Xichen adopt him now?

Wow, the Jiangs seem to have an actually healthy family relationsh-- *the mother shows up* Uh, nevermind

Why is the Lan Grand Master suddenly dying?

LWJ gave up himself and the Iron shard just to save one traitor?!

I hope everyone enjoys their time in Morrowind! (They obviously won't)

*insert a quarantine joke here*

Wow, LWJ switched to the protective mode very unexpectedly (Is that because he just lost his entire clan and therefore the primary subject of his loyalty? and the next in line, to everyone’s surprise, was WWX?)

this beast is the least convincing special effect I've ever seen, including 60s Doctor Who

"stranded together and tending to each other's wounds while trying to repress your feelings" in a TV show instead of AO3 makes me feel like I'm in a parallel dimension

for a few wild moments I thought he was going to suck infected blood out of his leg

Just! Do! It! The long fucking stare where he's Considering killed me.

"Let's trigger your crush's PTSD to make him talk about it" and other useful therapy tricks

I really didn't get what LWJ was doing in the fight scene. He was describing a technique of killing with strings physically, right, not with the sound they produce? Which made me think he had a spare set of strings on his person, which would have been a refreshing change from all other fictional battle musicians who never carry backup, but from the montage sequence it was pretty clear he just collected bowstrings, and also iirc he summons his guqin anyway. But also it really doesn't look like he accomplished much behind injuring his own hand.

you can have hurt/comfort in both directions, as a treat

dude, just relax and don't try to make it less awkward

a whole-ass flashback to their Meet Cute, no less!

please do not flash back to That One Scene like it was something cute and ruin the whole montage

so he knew the main group escaped, then?

What's the cave timeline? Did it take the two of them several days to prepare the attack on the monster, and after WWX passed out, he hasn't awoken until the rescue, as the editing suggests? Or was there an unseen period of time where WWX and LWJ sat together in a cave, slowly dying from hunger and having no interesting conversations to show whatsoever? The former sounds a ton more convincing, but gathering arrows and bowstrings is a job for several hours, not several days...

I have already written a post about having mixed feelings in response to female characters written in a misogynistic way; here is just another example. Lady Jiang's shrill insults make me want to curl up, cover my ears and close my eyes to hide, or to shout back to chase her away. And at the same time I hate that someone deliberately presented a woman speaking her mind and reasserting her right as a co-lead of the household in an offputting way, to show how she's ruining the family by not being docile and submissive enough. And -- I still don't have anything to like in her to spite the misogynistic writing; should I invent something out of principle, or should I play along with the misogyny game?

As someone more familiar with Japan than China (fantasy or not), it breaks my brain every time I notice people wearing shoes inside lmao

For the first time in this show, after I thought "give him a hug already", a character actually did it on screen

After watching 7 episodes in one day, I am finally skipping the opening sequence for the first time

even when the mother fights the bad guys, she somehow does it in a shitty classist way. the purple whip and the combat handmaidens are cool tho

the trio screaming for their father departing to certain death was the first thing in the show to make me cry

kinda wild how the show fluctuates between: 20%: a compilation of time-tested relationship tropes :) 80%: well that was nice while it lasted but back to the plot. HELLO NAUGHTY CHILDREN IT'S PARENT DEATH AND CLAN DESTRUCTION TIME

Unrelated to anything above, I'm still hoping for a scene (maybe near the end of the flashback for maximum dramatic irony) where WWX says jokingly to LWJ "Whose funeral have you been dressing for?", with the answer hanging in the air but remaining unsaid: "Yours, Wei Wuxian" (wouldn’t work at the point I’m at rn, for example, because he’s currently mourning his entire clan)

#the untamed #blah blah blah

9x10: Omega - Details

Okay, let's talk details. I’ll put these in three major groups: Lydia-related details, a few Carol details, and general/Alpha details. Some of these will touch on the things I said in my First Thoughts post yesterday, but with little more detail.

***Once again, spoilers abound for episode 9x10. Don’t read until you’ve watched! You’ve been warned!***

Lydia details:

My group has talked a lot about the strangeness of Lydia's ear condition. In 9x06, Daryl watched a bluebird/Songbird pull a worm out of a walker's ear. It then fed the worm to its babies. My theory with the worm is that it represents something negative that's being taken out of someone. Like negativity or negative belief of some kind. Now, in this episode, we saw both Lydia and Henry eat worms, and we also saw that she had some sort of pain or medical condition associated with her ear. Could be something as simple as an ear infection that’s gone untreated.

In truth, we’re not sure exactly how all of the stuff fits together, but here are a few ideas we’ve brainstormed.

1) Naturally we’re relating it to Daryl eating the warm in 5x10 and Beth in general.

2) Several of my fellow theorists have suggested it shows Daryl becoming a father figure and protector to Lydia.

3) I would go so far as to say that, if the worm represents something negative, and it's being taken out of the year, then maybe it represents him showing Lydia how she's been thinking wrongly about things. About how her mother is crazy and abusive, and revealing the lies Lydia has believed all these years.

Even those I’m not completely satisfied with. We’re fairly certain the walker on the tree in 9x06 represented Daryl himself. So, it feels a little backwards as of right now. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this as the arc progresses.

Daryl offered Lydia water several times. First of all, Beth equals water. So there’s that. Another parallel to Beth. And what did Daryl use to give her water? A Big Dipper. Or Little Dipper. We can relate that to the North Star and Sirius/Dog star symbolism. I know @frangipanilove is working on a new post about this. The symbols are definitely important.

Some interesting dialogue.

At one point, Daryl says to Lydia, "You don't know shit about me." That really jumped out at me because it's exactly what Noah said to Beth at Grady. So, we’ve got some Grady stuff going on here.

Lydia also use phrases like "she's a good person," or, "they were good people." Obviously, that dialogue is the same Beth used.

Lydia was convinced no one was coming for her. This parallels her strongly with Beth at Grady. Beth specifically said to Dawn, "No one’s coming."

She wasn't really talking about herself being rescued so much as about Dawn's misguided belief that the army or FEMA would show up to rescue them. Beth meant the world had pretty much ended and they were on their own.

But even so. We have Dawn's misguided belief and Beth telling her that no one is coming. Then we have Lydia, whose also has misguided beliefs, and she tells Daryl that no one's coming for her.

In both cases, this person's family turned up at the gates, and a prisoner exchange took place. At Grady, obviously Rick and Daryl showed up to collect Beth and Carol and there was the prisoner exchange that went very badly. Here, Alpha and the Whisperers, Lydia’s family, showed up to get her. We haven't seen it yet, but it's obvious that a prisoner exchange is about to take place. I'm actually very excited to see how this plays out because I'm anticipating a lot of Grady parallels.

It's also important to notice that things are kind of opposite from what they were at Grady. As I said yesterday, Lydia is actually being heavily paralleled Daryl. So in S5, Beth was the one who was the prisoner and TF came to get her. Here in S9, the Daryl figure (Lydia) is the one who was imprisoned and her family, who we know are villains, have come to her. I'm thinking the prisoner exchange will go well, specifically because the Grady didn't. But that remains to be seen.

After re-watching, I was also very intrigued by the baby references. When Henry got Lydia out of her cell, she reached for a hammer and was going to hit him with it and run. She didn’t know Daryl stood a few feet away watching.

When the woman from Hilltop came outside with her crying baby, it really freaked Lydia out. It made her want to go back into the cell.

Not sure what that means, but now we have the Whisperers at the gates and one of them has a baby. I've read spoilers about what will happen with this, and I won't go into them here, but it's obvious the Whisperers aren’t big on babies.

As I've mentioned before, in the CBs there’s a major rape culture among the Whisperers. And we know Alpha abuses Lydia to keep her in line. This is complete conjecture on my part, but I'm sort of wondering if maybe at some point, Lydia got pregnant and had a baby, but Alpha forced her to give it up. That might explain why she had such a visceral reaction to hearing the baby cry. It also might play into the other worm/Songbird/babies in the nest symbolism going on in 9x06. Again, we’ll just have to wait and see.

With stuff like this, I immediately start developing head canons about it. Like maybe Lydia did something to try and save her baby, and Beth ended up with it. Maybe Beth will show up with Lydia’s baby, which would explain the child/baby symbolism around her. I even wondered if Gracie could be Lydia’s baby, but I don’t think the timeline works. Based on her age, Lydia would have only been ten when Gracie was born, so probably not.

Daryl brought in the branch of a birch tree when he confronted Lydia about her abuse. This is super important because we’ve long thought the trees in the plate glass picture in FG’s church, which Sasha shot in 5x16, were birch trees. We couldn’t be sure, but they look like they were. Birch tree symbolism points heavily to Beth, and the fact that that picture was shot with the bullet suggests a retelling of Beth being shot at Grady. Don't forget, that's the scene where FG says all kinds of things about them sacrificing their own that makes absolutely no sense. Again other theorists are working on metas about the birch tree, so I won't go into it further except to say we’re glad they specifically named it as a birch tree because it validates a lot of our earlier theories.

As a child, Lydia had a stuffed rabbit. They said in TTD it was a nod to Judith's rabbit from Carl’s vision of the future. That’s significant because it could show that this war with the Whisperers will in some way lead to Carl’s vision of the future. I think, especially in terms of Negan, that's probably true. But we’ve also seen rabbit symbolism around Beth before. There are pictures of rabbits in 4B, and then there were the rabbits Lizzie killed.

I started to wonder if maybe we should look for some Lizzie/Lydia or perhaps Lizzie/Alpha parallels. I honestly haven't thought about that too much, but Lydia is pretty messed up, and Lizzie was he was pretty messed up. Lizzie killed a bunch of rabbits and Lydia had a stuffed rabbit. Carol mothered Lizzie, and we’re starting to think this whole Lydia arc is going to end up having to do with Carol. I get to that in a minute. So just some food for thought.

In terms of eating worms, we’ve talked about a few different ways to interpret it. @wdway suggested maybe we could parallel it to Beth and Daryl eating snake together.

Yes, we know they’re two different species and even symbolically, they generally mean different things, but they’re both long and skinny and slither on the ground, right? All that aside, I think we can read into Beth and Daryl eating snake together at the beginning of their journey, and now Henry and Lydia eating worms together at the beginning of theirs. I think that's too close a parallel to ignore.

@rabia___81 (IG) also suggested something I thought was really beautiful and wanted to include. She said she believes Henry fell in love with Lydia when they ate the worms together. I think that’s valid, as right after that we see them holding hands. So, she suggested perhaps Daryl eating the worm in 5x10 shows it was then, after he lost Beth, that he realized he'd been in love with her. All together now:

Carol stuff:

Henry, talking about Carol to Lydia, said, "She's tough." This is exactly what Daryl told Carol of Beth in S5. Actually, he said it to a few people. So, I wondered how we should interpret this. Does that mean Carol will be missing and presumed dead, much like Beth? Possibly, but I think it's more complicated than that.

Several of us during the episode last night started to get the vibe that they might be juxtaposing Carol and Alpha. This came in several different forms. When we first started seeing the flashbacks of Lydia's father, and she presented him as being a being somewhat abusive, we made comments that he seemed a lot like Ed, Carol’s first husband.

Of course, as we move through the story, we find out that the opposite was true. Even though Lydia remembered certain things that way, it was only because her mother brainwashed her. In each of those scenes, it was really Alpha who was abusive and the father was the more loving one. So, we have a reversal from Carol and Ed. Carol was the abused and Ed, the abuser. In Alpha’s case, she was the abuser and her husband was the abused. Now, Alpha abuses her daughter, where we know Carol protected Sophia from Ed as best she could.

Then there’s the hair thing. I said at the beginning of the season that her long hair probably reflected that Carol was so happy with Ezekiel, and I was willing to bet something would happen down the line, some tragedy, and she’d cut it off again. The first part of that was confirmed by Henry in this episode. He said the reason she cut her hair short was because Ed used it to grab her by and summer against the wall. When she finally found love with Ezekiel, she finally felt happy enough and safe enough to let her go wrong again.

It’s super interesting that they chose this episode to put that story in, because Carol wasn’t even in this episode. But we saw an iconic scene of Alpha, completely bald, showing up at the gates. So, it may be a juxtaposition there between long-haired Carol and bald alpha.

And there's the fact that this arc is about parents abusing children. Obviously, Daryl has a huge link to that because he was abused as a child, but Carol was abused as an adult and if they are heading toward a Carol/Alpha showdown, we’ll have a woman whose fought abuse her entire life and fought to protect her daughter against a woman is been abusive all her life and specifically abuses her daughter. That’ll be a pretty epic showdown. I think it’ll be a really great story. Obviously we aren't the only ones thinking this as the caller on TTD last night asked the same question. So, people are definitely picking up on this vibe.

And that’s what I mean about not being sure about the whole "she's tough" line. I think it will end up playing into this entire arc, but I'm not sure exactly how yet.

We also have an anti-parallel in the reason behind the hair length. We can surmise from Lydia’s flashbacks that Alpha only ever kept her hair long to please her husband. She cut it off for selfish reasons. (“I’m doing what I want now.”) Carol cut her hair off specifically as a way to fight against her abusive husband, and she kept it long because SHE was in a good emotional head space.

I kind of hope Carol doesn’t cut all her hair off again. I mean, she probably will, but it would be nice to see some growth in her by having her not cut it off when her losses start piling up again. And it’s interesting that Daryl knows this about her now, because if she does cut it off again, he’ll know why, and it will make him sad. 😥

Aside: someone in my group also made the very good point that Carol never felt safe enough to grow her hair long before Ezekiel, and that includes with Daryl. So in terms of proving Carol and Daryl aren’t romantic...just thought I’d point that out. 😉

Miscellaneous:

In one of Lydia’s flashbacks, she and her mother played checkers, and Alpha said checkmate. Obviously, a chess reference. My post on the chess game is HERE, but remember we saw the Governor playing chess a lot in S4. During that time, he was very heavily paralleled with Beth and they used his episodes to foreshadow her arc, so that's important. Perhaps we could argue that seeing chess again might suggest that this is when the resurrection arc will finally come back around.

I also think they use this to foreshadow the bad guy TF is now faced with. The villain is overly confident and thinks they’ll win easily. This was definitely true of the Governor who I believe said “checkmate” more than once. He felt confident he could take the prison down. Of course he didn't, which I suppose we could see as a foreshadow that eventually TF will beat Alpha as well. (Of course, most of us figured that anyway.)

I think this is especially interesting because we now know it was Lydia’s father who said this, not her mother. But we never saw him saying it. It’s like the writers came up with an excuse to specifically show Alpha saying it. That’s obviously intentional.

Another parallel: the Governor attacked the prison and took it down. Lydia keeps saying that this place, meaning Hilltop, will fall, just like every other place. It just feels like a call back to the Gov bulldozing the prison.

They emphasized a 23 in Lydia’s flashbacks. We saw it on the wall, and then we heard her parents talk about it at least twice. It seemed to me that we’d seen this number before, but I couldn't remember where. I looked into my old theories, and I found it. We saw it prominently in episode 5x11, directly after the music box woke up, when the TF goes with Aaron to Alexandria for the first time. He tells them to take Highway 16. The reason is that it's been cleared of walkers and they’ll get there safely. Rick doesn't trust Aaron because he doesn't know him. He says that they're going take Route 23. Aaron warns them heavily against that, saying it hasn’t been cleared and it's a bad idea, but Rick does it anyway. Sure enough, they run into walkers.

Originally, I tried to use these numbers as a way to point S7 or S8 for Beth’s return. Obviously not. But the meaning hasn’t gone anywhere. Route 16 (a multiple of 8, btw) led to a smooth journey, life, and safety. Route 23 (2+3 = 5 for S5?) on the other hand, led to death and separation. TF got all split up and ended up having to reunite at the end. It was especially significant that there was a flare (fire) and a water tower (Beth equals water) that were present were TF reunited. So, I always saw this as a Beth parallel.

We could argue the 23 here might be a Beth thing, but I think it's more likely that it shows that in TWD symbolism world, this is just a very negative number. It will always result in death and familial separation. This definitely happened with Lydia. We saw day 23 and the sequence that followed led to her father's death. It also could foreshadow that the war with alpha is going to be long and deadly.

We later saw the number 43, after more time has passed. Episode 43 of the show was Too Far Gone. And its when this number is shows that we see Alpha kill Matias. Kinda interesting and another parallel to the Governor.

In closing, I wanted to touch on the Omega title. I’m not clear yet why they called this episode Omega. Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and of course it's Lydia’s mom's name. Omega is the last letter of the alphabet, and the title of the episode.

I think this could be a Carol/Alpha thing. As in, if Carol equals Omega, then Carol will be the end of Alpha? I'm not positive about that either. Because Carol wasn't in this episode and I'm not sure that it makes sense to think Omega equals Carol.

Of course, in terms of TD, the title “Alpha and Omega” is one of the best known titles for Christ, so we can’t help but think this might be a Beth thing. But again, even if that’s the case, I’m not sure how to specifically interpret the title of this episode.

This was essentially the beginning of the war with the Whisperers, as they are at the gates. This is the first real encounter with them. But I’ll keep an eye on this symbolism as we progress.

Okay, that's it for today. I will talk about all the musical references in this episode tomorrow. Can't wait to hash that out because they’re really good! Stay tuned!

Reddie headcanon : shoulder kisses

Shoulder kisses are their thing

They've done them ever since they met

Whenever one of them feels sad, alone, is scared or having a troubled time, the other will be there and calm them down with a shoulder kiss

Richie is a walking disaster, always has been and will always be

Especially in Pre-school, Richie had the habbit of falling over his own feet or any random object he didn't see because he was too busy doing everything but looking where he was going

Eddie of course was always there to rescue him from getting an infection with some desinfectant and band aids

Whenever he goes to the doctor he gets a kiss from his mom for being good, so he always presses a soft little quick kiss to Richie's shoulder (which both of them don't find weird at all, because a thing such as personal space doesn't exist to them) because he didn't put up much of a fight when Eddie stitched him back up

It's not only Eddie giving Richie shoulder kisses tho. Richie of course does it too

Whenever Eddie starts to panic, and gets an Ashtma or panic attack, Richie's always the first to be by his side and calm him down or pull out the spare inhaler he always carries around for Eddie

He always pulls Eddie close into his side to show him he's there and Eddie's not alone

Richie then whispers sweet nothings into his ear and presses gentle comforting kisses to Eddie's shoulder

When Richie grows older, he starts sleeping at Eddie's more often than at his, because he can, fuck off

Because the feeling of home and safety is just twice as big when he’s with Eddie than anywhere else

Eddie knows this, and he never complains about Richie coming into his room at night

He always scoots over and makes space for Richie to cuddle into

When Richie's all settled, Eddie cuddles into him and presses a light kiss to Richie's shoulder, to show him that everything's okay and that he's safe, because he knows that's all Richie needs

On the days when everything gets too much with his mum he always goes to the quarry with Richie, because it feels like some sort of personal heaven

Whenever his breath starts getting a little erratic, Richie immediately pulls him a little closer and presses a kiss to his shoulder because he knows it calms Eddie down

Over time they stop only using it as a way to comfort the other

It has become a habit over the years, and the feeling of safety and familiarity it brings is all they really need.

They do it at least 5 times a day

When Eddie's at his locker to get his books, Richie goes up behind him and presses a kiss to his shoulder as a good morning, because he knows better than to talk to Eddie in the morning, because as much as Eddie's a sweetheart, he's a bitch to talk to when he's tired

Eddie's mood always lightens up when Richie does it tho

One time, Eddie gets Richie to study with him for an upcoming chemistry test, and all the losers are surprised, because Richie Tozier always prides himself on not studying and still getting only A's

Although they all know that Richie is 100% whipped for Eddie and would do everything he asks him to

Richie gets really bored at some point and starts watching Eddie

He finds himself thinking that Eddie's really cute, poking his tongue out like that while looking very concentrated

Then he smacks himself because Eddie is always cute

The movement made Eddie look up, because he knows Richie is weird but why tf did he just smack himself in the face

But before Eddie can ask him about it, Richie leans over and presses a long, lingering kiss to Eddie's shoulder and then proceeds to bribe him into getting ice cream with him

At movie night with the other losers they're always cuddled up together under a blanket, because literally none of the other losers can deal with Richie's constant commentary, opinions about the movie, stupid jokes and impromptu impressions of one of the movie characters whispered into their ear the entire time

They don't know how Eddie manages to sit through the movies without killing Richie

Whenever Richie gets too loud, and Bill has to literally hold Stan back so he doesn't strangle Richie, Eddie leans over and tells him to shut up but always presses a kiss to Richie's shoulder for good measure, and that makes Richie shut up. At least for 5 minutes

Richie and Eddie think the losers don't know about their thing but they know, because after almost choking Ben in a fight about who gets to put on the toppings on their Pizza next, then saying Eddie can go first and afterwards pressing a kiss to his shoulder isn't all that subtle Richie

They all secretly think it's cute as fuck

Eddie and Richie never stop with the shoulder kisses, even when they're dating and finally get to kis each other on the mouth

I'm really sorry if anyone has done this before, just tell me and I take it down if one of you did it first, but I really love the concept of Reddie+shoulder kisses

#OKAY SO THIS IS MY FIRST HEADCANON #I'm quite proud of myself #please don't kill me if it's bad #i love reddie with all my heart #they love each other so much #they totall do this #Reddie #richie tozier #eddie kaspbrak #the losers club #IT #beverly marsh #bill denbrough #stanley uris #mike hanlon #ben hanscom #shoulder kisses #headcannons

Zombie Apocalypse Survivor!Hwiyoung

i feel very proud of the outcome of this scenario! I wrote this for my friend who will remain anonymous but you know who you are :))) i love writing in this style it’s my personal writing style that I am very proud of and I like how it distinguishes me from other writers. please take the time to read this and pretend it’s your bias if you have another preference other than hwiyoung. please please reblog and get your friends to read this i hold this scenario close to me even though hwi is not my bias it’s that special!!! remember that requests are open but read faq & rules first!!! happy reading from your favorite mom!! ITS GONNA BE A WILD RIDE!!! i would greatly appreciate any feedback!!!

warnings: includes a lot of fluff + angst incorporated together, angst part will rip out your heart and stomp on it to pieces, fluff will try to mend those pieces together, you might cry -- i certainly felt emotional while writing that part :’))

The whole country has been affected by zombies

It only started with one or two in a couple of states

Hours later it spread to the coast

Next thing you know it has reached your town

Almost everyone has been infected and you’re one of the lucky few who still have your humanity

And sanity

You and the other survivors have been in a hideout for weeks and you’re not sure how long it’s gonna last

Your crew went from 50 people to 20 people in a matter of 2 days

Now it’s down to 10

It’s been a rough month since all your family is gone as far as you know in just the blink of an eye

You’ve gotten super close with your now population of 10

You’re the one who gets to fetch food along with Hwiyoung, a fellow survivor

Prob one of the most dangerous tasks y’all have to do but everyone picked you two bc you’re the strongest and most capable

Hwiyoung is pretty soft but his aim of a gun is no joke and he can shield you while you quickly get the necessities

Not to mention he looks hAWT shooting the zombies but anyways

And i also don’t know how you kill off zombies but just roll with it

Imagine hwi with a gun!! a gUN THIS BABY WITH A GUN

Side note: I also imagine him in a headband or like a tied bandana

He wears some black ripped jeans with black combat boots

When going out he wears a v neck sweater with a black motorcycle jACKET YAS

But when he’s inside the hideout he either wears a fitted thermal shirt holy jesus or he is wearing a muSCLE TEE OH MYGODGHLDG ARE THE ZOMBIES KILLING US OR IS HWIYOUNG

Everyone is always terrified you both won’t make it alive but you always manage to bc you’re boss af

You both grow super close since you have to go on those dangerous missions every day

You know he tries to act tough despite the situation but he’s just as terrified as you

“I can protect you y/n”

“You cried when i ate your cookie”

“They’re running low!! :(((“

But you know underneath his joking exterior he’s trembling with fear

The fear of losing you, losing everything he’s ever known in just this month

But you guys treat each other with a lot of care and even more so since you don’t know what would happen to the other in just a minute

Lots of insults and jokes but only bc it’s the only way to lighten up the heavy atmosphere even if only temporarily

You actually have developed super strong feelings for him in such a short amount of time i mean who wouldn’t when he’s literally all you talk to

But you can’t afford to pursue anything in the midst of this

Hwiyoung also began to take a liking to you and is a Flustered Mess™ around you

There’s an unspoken pledge between you that you will not ever leave each other no matter what

His family has also left without a trace and that’s another reason why you were able to bond with him so quickly

You heavily lean on your small circle for support, especially between the both of you

He’s always looking out for you

When you sleep, he brings you a blanket and puts your head on his arm since there aren’t any pillows :’))

He always double checks your weapons to see if you have enough

“You have enough ammo right???”

“yOU JUST CHECKED MY SUPPLY LIKE 5 TIMES”

“YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL Y/N”

A lovestruck look on his face every time you’re not glancing his way

He always says a silent prayer before he sleeps to thank the heavens he is alive and you’re alive with him and that he was able to meet you even though it had to be under these circumstances

There have been some scary close calls

One day the zombies advance on you when you’re coming back from getting food

Like i’m not talking about you escaping from them i’m talking about thEY HAVE REACHED YOUR HIDEOUT AND YOU AND HWI ARE THE ONLY ONES IN SIGHT

“hWIYOUNG WATCH OUT!!!!” you scream as you’re trying to fend off the zombies

Both of his hands are occupied with guns and the only sound in the air is the ringing of gunshots

He manages to stall for just enough time for the both of you to escape

You enter a deserted building while being careful to stay in the shadows

Once you’ve scouted the place thoroughly you and hwi huddle in a corner and start talking about your game plan

Ok so by now just pause reading and play a really sad ost song just do it

Do it

Play that sad song

Maybe with rain in the background

Maybe “still loving you” by sophia pae or secret garden’s ost bgm “guardian angel” or “tear stains” by oscar

Ok let’s continue

“Look y/n I don’t want you to be put in danger so what I’m about to say is only for your safety”

You do not like the sound of those words

“You’re gonna leave”

Hold on boi “what????”

“You heard me. You’re gonna escape from this place and not turn back. The state next to us is still in good shape compared to ours and you still have the west coast that’s barely infected. I have family in California, and they should be fine right now, hopefully anyway. They’re nice, so don’t worry about them. I’m sure they’ll accept you–”

“HWIYOUNG I’M NOT LEAVING YOU IF ANYTHING YOU SHOULD GO SINCE THEY’RE YOUR FAMILY and we can’t!!!! We can’t leave each other when we promised not to” tears start welling up in your eyes and your voice cracks you can’t even look him in the eyes anymore by the time your sentence ends

“Hwiyoung, you’re the only thing I have. You really expect me to leave you like our families did?”

Here come the waterworks

“Look y/n we’re running out of time” he quickly steals a glance outside of a window and sees them advancing super rapidly

You’re interrupted when there’s a loud bang on the closed door

He quietly curses and grabs your shoulders firmly

“y/n,,,,, I didn’t want to confess like this and this is probably the worst time ever to do it but I,,, have to let you know now” he’s running on adrenaline this would never happen in normal situations but when you’re on the brink of death this doesn’t really matter

“I’m really glad that we were able to meet and bond it’s been truly a wild ride with you and i’m really gonna miss you snoring loudly and making my arm numb and,,,, what I’m trying to say is that,,,, I’m in love with you” his cheeks flush a light pink and this would be pretty romantic if you didn’t hear the groans outside

His lips press on yours and it’s a very bittersweet taste with your tears mixed in the kiss

You look at him with tears continuously rolling down your cheeks

The moment you say “i love you too” bAM THE DOOR BREAKS OPEN AND YOU’RE ABOUT TO BE SURROUNDED BY ZOMBIES

WHEN HWI PULLS OUT HIS GUNS THE RINGING OF GUNSHOTS FILL YOUR EARS AGAIN

“Y/N!!! GO OUT THE WINDOW IT’S NOW OR NEVER”

“I’M NOT GONNA FREAKING LEAVE YOU BEHIND WTF HWIYOUNG”

He pauses shooting for a split second to give you the most resolute and melancholic look ever and hastily gives you a forehead kiss that lasts for just as long

Since his arms are holding the guns, he uses his body to shove you out the window and thank god the height is not that high

“hWIYOUNG NO!!!”

“RUN Y/N!!!! DON’T LOOK BACK” you can hear him from above as he sounds like he’s struggling

Zombies outside have noticed you and you’re just like oHHohhoH this IS NOT GOOD

You scramble to your feet and run down a few blocks when you suddenly don’t hear gunshots anymore

“Don’t look back” his words echo in your ears

But you can’t help yourself and throw your head back to see the zombies mainly where the building is

You tear your eyes away and try to stifle a cry and tears blur your vision

Miraculously you’re able to fend off the zombies and pick up some last minute food on the way

You even managed to scoop up an abandoned car with sufficient gas

And you blast tf out of there

Your new destination is California and it takes you a week and a half to get there

You remember him mentioning his family in California and he once said they were in San Francisco but how tf are you gonna know where

You walk to a police station and just hope to god they understand

They’re a lil reluctant to hear you out and kick you out bc they have “better things to worry about” well jeez ok thx

You just aimlessly roam around the area and you stop by a beach

And you just SCREAM

You literally scream and bawl to make up for the time you couldn’t in the middle of your escape

“HWIYOUNG DIDN’T DESERVE THIS”

A few minutes later you’re approached by someone and you’re like um can i help you

“Did you… just say Hwiyoung?”

You’re just

:O no way

“Are you a family member by chance?”

He shakes his head however he is a family friend and he can connect you with his family!!!! And he even shares you a family photo as proof bc i mean you have every right to doubt him and further proves himself when he facetimes Hwiyoung’s aunt and uncle

You soon meet up with his family and burst into tears again from their hospitality and the thought of Hwiyoung haunts you and spill the entire story about how your family left and hwiyoung’s family left and he forced you to leave him

Several weeks pass and you’re slowly transitioning into this new life

It still pains you every time you think about hwiyoung or anything you associate him with

One day you get a text from hwi’s aunt “can you pick up some flowers for me?? And dress a little nice too ;) meet me at the local cafe”

Wtf why would you wanna dress nice at a cafe

But you think there’s a good reason so you just follow her orders and meet her there

She begins walking along the street and talking to you so you’re distracted by whatever you’re talking about and you eventually end up at the nearest hospital

You’re just like the????? Why are we here

She stops in front of a room and you’re still really lost like

“So are you gonna go in or are we just gonna stand out here”

She laughs looking amused “I should be asking you that. I’ll be waiting out here” and she gestures to the chair outside

You’re just like ????? um ok

You can’t help but feel a little anxious as you quietly slide open the door

You turn around and start closing it when someone’s all-too-familiar voice fills the room

“I see you didn’t look back”

Lycanthropy Lab

Commission Info

WARNING THIS STORY CONTAINS: Female Wolf and Anthro Wolf TF With a mythological disease running rampant across the country, four college girls volunteer for a study that hopes to find a cure. However, nothing could have prepared them for the physical and mental changes they will go through under the light of the moon. This is a commissioned story for internmatt.

Passing the sterile rooms and strange devices of the university’s research facility, Dr. Teld made his way towards the newly added wing of the experimentation lab. For years he had been trying to obtain funding for his pet project and the grey haired, bespectacled man was more than happy to finally have it. Sure, most of the funding had to go to paying off the test subjects, but he found it a small price for what he was about to achieve. Straightening his tie and pulling on his lab coat, he brushed his fingers through his beard and stepped into the next room.

Waiting for Dr. Teld inside were four college women from the university. They were a unique bunch, doubtful that they had ever met one another before entering the lab that day. Regardless of their reason for being there, their cooperation was needed for the experiment to succeed. Clearing his voice, he stepped in front of the women and began.

“Thank you all for joining this research program,” he said, gesturing towards his test subjects. “Just to be sure we are all on the same page, I’ll go over the purpose of this study. As you may have heard, the once thought mythological disease of Lycanthropy has been spreading across the country. The results have been as varied as the victims, but they all share some level of wolf traits that appear more frequent during a full moon. In hopes of finding a cure, you will be injected with the disease and monitored over the course of the lunar phase.” Digging into his lab coat, he pulled out a small notepad. “Before we begin, I would like to ask you all some questions.”

Starting with the girl furthest to the left, Dr. Teld approached with pad in hand. She was a somewhat chubby woman, her grey sweatshirt and pants covering up a pudgy gut. Long strands of dull, black hair had to be constantly pushed out of the way of her wide-rimmed glasses. Despite her unimpressive appearance and pale skin, that didn’t take away from her enthusiastic smile as he approached her.

“What is your name?”

“My name is Joann Tabin. It is an honor to meet you Dr. Teld,” she proudly stated.

“Oooh I love your energy Ms. Tabin. Tell me, why did you join this experiment?”

“To join the famous Dr. Teld in helping cure a dangerous disease and be recorded in the history books,” she spouted, almost like she had spent hours rehearsing it in front of a mirror.

“Excellent, I will appreciate your cooperation in the upcoming experiment,” he said, jotting down that her overenthusiasm may lead to skewed research results.

Moving on to next woman in the lineup, Dr. Teld was blinded by the drastic comparison between her and Joann. Her skimpy, pink top and white short shorts left most of her dark skin exposed to emphasized her hourglass figure. Noticing his eyes start to wonder, the woman flung her curly brown hair behind her back to get his attention. Her face looked familiar to him, recalling seeing the woman in pictures from the party after the last big game.

“I think I’ve heard of you before, but would you mind giving me your name?”

“Kendra,” she said.

“Your full name.”

Kendra let out an annoyed sigh. “Kendra Sabre. There’s not many people that don’t know that name around campus.’

“Indeed, this is just a formality. Tell me, why have you joined this study?”

“Couple of my sorority sisters turned into werewolves and got a little too wild during the last party.”

“I’m sorry to hear that.”

Kendra shrugged her shoulders. “No one got hurt. Worst thing is the girls are still in police custody. Even if we don’t find a cure, the money should help with their legal fees.”

“How noble,” he said, impressed by the party girl’s motivation. “I’ll make sure the funding goes towards your friends.”

Dr. Teld turned away from Kendra and found himself staring into a pair of bright eyes and a gleaming smile. The woman in front of him had shoulder-length, black hair dyed with streaks of purple. Her baggy, beige shirt and a tan skirt were besmirched by a number of different paint stains. “I’m Yuki Hana,” she announced.

“Right,” he replied, taking a few steps back to actually get a good look at her. “So why have you joined the study Ms. Hana?”

“I’ve been in a bit of an art slump lately, so I’m hoping this will be my chance to get more in touch with my wild side. I’ll be using this as inspiration to flow into my paintings.”

“Unorthodox, but I’m glad to have you regardless.”

Approaching the last test subject, Dr. Teld was immediately impressed by her six-pack abs. They went along well with her toned arms and legs that befit the pair of red gym shorts and black tank top. Noticing how he was staring, she struck a pose to flex her muscles. Running a hand through her short, red hair, she couldn’t hide the smug smile on her freckled face.

“Aren’t you the impressive specimen,” he said as she continued to pose. “What is your name?”

“The name’s Donna Cloud,” she answered showing off her biceps. “Best athlete on campus.”

“Hmm, I have heard of your name across campus as most wanted on the campus��s sports teams. What brings you to this study?”

“The money of course.”

Dr. Teld raised an eyebrow. “I also heard you were lucky enough to receive several athletic scholarships. Money shouldn’t be an issue for you. You must have some other reason.”

Donna let her pose and smile drop. “Well…it’s kind of…”

“Ms. Cloud, please tell me. It is imperative to the study that your intentions are-“

“I want to get stronger,” she blurted out. “I heard about the party incident. Considering how wimpy those girls were before, I’m wondering if getting infected can strengthen my body even further.”

Dr. Teld tapped his pen against the notepad. “That’s…one way to look at it, I suppose. Well, I hope the both of us get something out of this study then.”

Walking back to the front of the room, Dr. Teld stored the notepad in his coat. “That should do for now. You’ll be asked more questions as the study continues. In just a moment, you will be injected with the Lycanthropy disease and escorted to your rooms where you will be staying for the duration of the experiment. I want to thank you all for joining the study and I can’t wait to see how you progress,” he said, unable to hide his sinister grin.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joann was awoken by the sound of a blaring alarm. Studious as she was, she normally didn’t need the sudden wake up call. The reason she was having trouble getting out of bed was attributed to the starry night looking down on her from the skylight above. Rummaging for her glasses, she took a good look at the crescent moon. Alongside the other test subjects, she was expected to be awake during the peak hours of activity for Lycanthropy symptoms. Letting out a wide yawn, she tossed aside the covers to get up and start the day.

Sliding her feet into a pair of slippers, Joann stepped outside of her room to see her fellow test subjects already awake. Using what little space had been allotted to them, Donna was doing laps along the hallway connecting their rooms together. Keeping herself to the side to avoid running into the tomboy, Joann slid down the hall towards their communal restroom. It worked up until she was nearly hit in the face by Kendra popping out of her room, still looking just as gorgeous as the day before even in a set of heart covered PJs.

“Morning, I mean, evening Kendra,” Joann said.

“Hey...Joann right?” she replied, scratching her head.

“Yup, that’s me. Are you ready to start the first day of experimentation?”

“Not really. Those sleeping pills they gave us did a number on my head.” Bending down, she grabbed the hem of her pants and pulled up to reveal numerous strands of leg hair. “All I really want to do is get to the bathroom and take care of these things. I swore I shaved right before we came here.”

“I’m sorry, but we can’t do that,” Joann pointed out. “Dr. Teld said we weren’t allowed to do any kind of body modification or grooming here besides bathing. There can’t be any interference in the results.”

“Right, I almost forgot,” she sighed, rolling her pant leg back down. “Thanks, they’d probably kick me out of the program if I shaved. Why don’t you have first run at the bathroom?”

“Oh no, that’s not necessary,” Joann replied, shaking her head. “I don’t take much time to get ready in the morning anyway. You should go first.”

“All the more reason you should go ahead of me.”

Donna came to a screeching halt between the two girls. “Sorry to break it to you, but Yuki go first dibs. She’s been in there for a while too.”

“I don’t mean to sound rude,” Joann began, “but…Yuki doesn’t strike me as the type of person who…you know…cares too much about their appearance.”

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure that shirt she wore on the first day was about a week old,” Kendra bluntly added.

“I’m just as confused as you two,” Donna shrugged. “But, she gets time to herself just like anyone should. Just hope she doesn’t take too long. I really need a shower after my morning workout.”

Right on cue, the door to the bathroom swung open and the trio went silent. The woman that stepped out bared Yuki’s telltale hairdo of black and purple, but they couldn’t recall her having such thick fur running down her arms and legs. Her entire body was nude to better display her strange form in all its hairy glory, showing off the thicket of pubic hair covering her womanhood. Using her long nails, she combed through the tussles along her back, and underneath her arms, before scratching at the pair of pointed ears atop her scalp. Yuki’s drastic makeover was completed by the short, fluffy tail hanging between her legs. Her new appendage wagged furiously as she saw the surprised expressions of her fellow test subjects.

“Yuki, why are you like that?” Kendra asked.

“I tried to put on clothes this morning, but everything felt so itchy,” Yuki nonchalantly answered, as she scratched the fur on her butt. “I didn’t think it would matter much since we’re all women.”

“No, she means why do you have...those?” Donna asked, gesturing towards Yuki’s ears and tail.

“The disease of course,” Yuki replied, waving her tail back and forth. “Don’t tell me you already forgot those huge needles they stuck in us yesterday. My arm is still sore.”

“You still shouldn’t be showing signs this early,” Joann pointed out.

“I’ve always been a fast grower. Plus, I think I’m more in tune with my inner animal,” she said, thankfully out of range to hear Donna and Kendra groan in unison.

“If that’s the case you should probably give a call to Dr. Teld on the intercom. He’ll want to hear about-“

The doors to their private area opened to allow in several scientists in lab coats. Shuffling past the others girls, they surrounded Yuki on all sides. At the forefront was a blonde haired woman that grasped Yuki’s wrist.

“Come with us Ms. Hana,” the woman said. “I’m Dr. Velsha, Dr. Teld’s research assistant. He needs to see you immediately to perform an in-depth examination.”

“If you say so,” Yuki replied, taking Dr. Velsha’s hand and following her out the door. “Sorry for taking so long in the bathroom,” she called back to the other girls. “It’s open if anyone wants to use it.”

Stepping aside to let the other scientists go through, Joann got a glimpse of Yuki’s backside. Unable to stop herself from staring, she watched her furry companion walk alongside the scientists, uncaring of who saw her bare breasts or butt. As far as Yuki seemed concerned, she was happy to be free from the restraints of normal life. This was most evident in her lack of clothing, that brought up a strange desire in Joann to follow in the eccentric’s girl’s footsteps.

“So who want’s first?” Joann asked to shake the idea from her mind, as the doors closed behind Yuki’s entourage.

“I’m still not done with my workout, so you two can have a go,” Donna said.

“Guess it’s all yours then,” Kendra said, pushing Joann forward before she could protest.

Shoved into the bathroom, Joann let out a sigh and accepted Kendra’s generosity. Approaching the mirror, she put aside her glasses, threw water on her face, and picked up her tooth brush. Opening her mouth, she paused as she noticed her canine teeth were sticking out further than usual. Moving closer to inspect her enlarged teeth she noticed tinges of gray sticking out of her hair. Wondering if the stress of school life was finally catching up to her, she couldn’t stop scratching at the errant strands to try and rid herself of them. Before she realized it, her hands moved to the rest of her body to deal with itching sensations sprouting up one after another.

Curious and frustrated, Joann pulled back the sleeve of her shirt to see strands of grey hair sprouting from her arms. Stopping her constant scratching, she did the same for her pant leg. She indeed saw more of the grey body hair, but that wasn’t what got her attention. Further pulling up her pants, she got a good look at the grey hair clinging to her feet. Sitting on the ground, she pulled off her slippers and reached out to scratch the irritating strands.

She stopped as her finger brushed up against an odd protrusion on the soles of her feet. Lifting up her leg, she noticed a series of pad-like protrusions lining the bottom of her feet. Prodding the pads, her toes twitched at the touch, proving their authenticity. Standing back up, she stepped up to the sink. Her next stop was going to be Dr. Teld’s examination room and she needed to figure out some way to make her frazzled look acceptable.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Itch, scratch, itch, scratch, itch, scratch. Repeating the same routine that she had been doing for the past three days, Joann finally gave up on sleep. Rolling out of bed, she instinctively reached for her glasses to look through her moon-lit room. As she placed them on her face, she was met with a blurry mess of colors and shapes. Finally recalling that she didn’t need her glasses anymore, she left them by her nightstand and turned on the lights.

Still a little groggy, it took her a moment to realize she was naked. Taking a quick look around, she noticed her pajamas strewn about the room. Thinking hard, she recalled tossing them off throughout the night, finding the once comforting garments like rusty, iron restraints. The lack of clothing let her get a good look at her flat stomach. In place of the fat she had gained through stress and lack of exercise, she could feel muscles similar to the ones spread across her entire body. In addition, her nails had grown out several inches to provide the perfect tools to aid with her itchy skin. They were some of the perks of her transformation, but she couldn’t say they were worth dealing with the other side effects.

Very few stands of black were left in her veil of rugged grey hair that partially covered her black nose and yellow eyes. Scratching at the frayed strands, she managed to free her triangle shaped, furry ears. Her fingers moved to the thick hairs covering her arms and legs, with a few well-placed scratches going towards the bushel of grey surrounding her nether region. While she felt dirty for giving into her instincts to scratch, her wagging tail made it hard to hide how good it was to relieve herself.

The thing that got her to ignore her constant itching was the newest addition to her body. While she was aware of the way her feet were morphing with each passing night, it didn’t dawn on her how far they had progressed until that evening. Her feet were almost completely void of human characteristics, covered in fur and mimicking a dog’s paws in shape. Sitting on her bed, she lifted up her leg to prod the pads underneath, to remind herself they were hers. She made note of the ferocious claws sticking out of her toes, a sign of what was to come for her hands. For the moment, she was thankful her fingernails were still dull enough to deal with her constant itching.

After several minutes of scratching, her body calmed down enough to let her get on with her day. Collecting her discarded clothing, she attempted to slip them back on. As soon as the fabric rubbed up against her fur, the itching sensation came right back. Pulling the clothing off in an aggravated huff, she sat back down on the bed.

Staring down at her bare flesh and fur, an idea that had been stirring in the back of her head for days came back in full force. For the duration of their stay, Yuki had seen fit to prance around the labs in only her birthday suit. Once the initial shock had worn off, the rest of the girls got accustomed to their unclothed companion. Not long after, Donna joined in too, considering it easier to wash herself off rather than change clothes after each work out. Joann and Kendra were the only two that still seemed concerned about showing some civility. That was going to end today.

Leaving her clothes by the wayside, Joann stepped up to the door. Always self-conscious of her unassuming figure, she had always lived a quiet life devoid of any unnecessary attention. Even with the added athleticism of her new form, she considered what she was about to do akin to social life suicide. Taking a moment to look over the hair and muscles of her form, she repeated in her head that it was okay. Sucking in a deep breath, she stepped out into the hallway just in-time to run into Kendra.

“I’m so sorry,” Joann said, about ready to run back into her room. “I’ll go back in, throw on some clothes, and-“

Joann stopped herself as she realized that Kendra was naked. The popular girl’s lack of clothing made it all the more obvious how similar the two were in their transformation progress. Like Joann, she had thick fur covering her arms, legs, and groin, all matching the shade of dark brown as her mangy hair, pointy ears, and tail. While Kendra still towered over her in terms of height and curves, their toned arms and stomach were nearly identical in physique. Tearing her gaze away from Kendra’s bare breasts, Joann looked down to see a set of wolf paws where Kendra’s feet used to be.

“You feeling okay?” Kendra asked, shaking Joann out of her daze.

“Um, yeah, yeah. Why are you…you know?” she asked, waving her hand over Kendra.

“Probably the same reason as you.” Seemingly without a care in the world, she reached below her waist and scratched at the fur around her womanhood. “I’ve been itching like crazy ever since the wolf stuff kicked in. Plus, it feels so unnatural wearing clothes. Like my entire body is screaming to be free. You know what I mean?”

“Um…yeah, I think I do,” Joann hesitantly replied.

To Joann’s relief, the door to their living quarters opened up to break the tension. In walked Yuki, her body completely covered in black fur from head to toe, save for her bright streaks of purple. The lower half of her legs were bent backwards to better match the shape of her long, paw-like feet. Her digitigrade legs had her entire form hunched over, but the bad posture did little to take away from her tail wagging back and forth. Waving goodbye to the scientists with her long claws, she turned to her companions. Upon seeing their states, she crouched down on all fours and started barreling towards them at full speed. Leaping over their heads, she landed a few feet behind them, her fangs bared in a wide smile.

“Morning sleepy heads,” Yuki said, dashing up and ruffling up the hair on their heads. “I see you’ve finally decided to get in touch with your inner nature. Free from the confines of clothing.”

“No, we’re just itchy,” Kendra protested, digging her nails into the hair underneath her arms.

“You know in your heart and mind that’s not true.” Running up to a trembling Joann, she wrapped her huge paws around the shy girl’s tiny hands. “Don’t tell me you haven’t felt something inside of you. Something that’s aching to get back to the way you used to be. To fully give in to your animal instincts.”

Kendra pulled Yuki back and stepped between them. “That’s enough. Can’t you see you’re scaring her?”

“Sorry, I got a little carried away,” she said, scratching at her button nose. “Guess I’m a little wound up after my examination. I’ve been so energetic lately, makes me want join Donna in her workouts. Speaking of, have you seen her? She’s up next for the exam room.”

“She’s still in her room,” Kendra answered, pointing towards the fit girl’s door.

Bounding down the hall, Yuki came to a stop by digging her claws into the floor. Crawling up to the door, Yuki leaned back her head and let out a low howl. The sound was unsettling to Joann and Kendra, but it did the trick of getting Donna to come out.

Stepping out of her room, Donna stood out among the group as the most normal looking one. Despite every inch of her skin being on display, only the thin wisps of hair could be seen along her arms, down her legs, and making up a bristly patch around her womanhood. There were no signs of pointed ears, a tail, or even padding on her feet. The only thing that looked remotely wolf-like were a pair of sharp fangs she bared as she came out of the room. Upon seeing Yuki sitting patiently at her door, she let out a sigh and calmed down.

“Morning Donna,” Yuki said, standing back up to ruffle Donna’s hair like the others. “The lab people want to see you for your examination.”

“Why? Not like I’ve changed much,” she sighed, comparing her once impressive muscles to Kendra and Joann’s Amazon-like bodies.

“You just might be a late bloomer,” Yuki said, wrapping her arms around Donna. “Sure, you don’t have a tail or paws, but you’ve got the same cute bush as the rest of us,” she said, pointing towards Donna’s groin. “I’m sure you’ll be springing up at a moment’s notice.”

“Yeah, you’re probably right,” she replied, showing a small smile. “Mind coming with me to the lab?”

“Gladly,” Yuki replied with a toothy grin and rapidly wagging her tail. Locking arms together, the two made their way to the lab. While it was great to see Yuki lift up Donna’s mood, Joann was once again left alone with Kendra.

“You, um…notice how Yuki walked,” Joann blurted out to try and make conversation.

“What?”

“How she was walking on all fours I mean.”

“Yeah, that was pretty strange,” Kendra commented, scratching the hair under her chin. “Can’t say it’s not fitting considering what she looks like.”

“Do you think…we should do the same?” Joann threw out, preparing to be shunned.

“Sure, worth a shot,” Kendra shrugged, much to Joann’s surprise.

“R-really?”

“Only if you do it too though,” she said, already getting down on the floor.

“I-I don’t-“

“Come on, let’s have a race. Should be fun.”

Taking another deep breath, Joann crouched low to the floor and got on her hands and feet. As awkward as the position was, something in the back of her head assured her this was how she was supposed to be. The real problem was that her four-legged position put her head at level with Kendra’s tail lazily swinging across her perfect rear.

“We should probably give it a test run,” Joann quickly said, turning her head away from Kendra’s posterior for fear of her blushing face be seen. “For science and all that.”

“Race you to the bathroom for first dibs!” Kendra shouted out before bolting down the hall.

Fear and anxiety washed away by the thought of Kendra hogging the bathroom, Joann went running after her. Halfway down the hall, she couldn’t stop herself from smiling. The feeling of air running through her fur was enough to make her forget her anxiety. Putting her entire body into it, she ran faster and faster, her tail wagging rapidly behind her. She came to a screeching halt right in front of the bathroom door, panting heavily.

Joann turned to her side, expecting to see Kendra already reaching for the door. However, she was left by herself, with the sound of heavy breathing approaching her.Turning, she saw Kendra trying her best to stop herself, but to no avail. Sliding across the floor, Kendra went flying into her. The impact left them both pushed against the door, their bodies intertwined with one another.

“Guess you beat me,” Kendra said, seemingly unaffected by the fact her head was resting between Joann’s legs.

“Even after you got a head start too,” Joann replied, her adrenaline overcoming her own awkwardness.

“Bathroom is all yours then,” she admitted, standing up and lending Joann a hand. “In the meantime, I’ll do a few laps around the room. See if all that exercise stuff Donna was talking about might help me get used to this.”

With a quick wave, Kendra went running down the hall again. Joann lingered by the door to watch her fellow test subject prance around the room. She yearned to join in the fun, to fully give into the voice in the back of her head. More importantly, she wanted to spend more time with Kendra. Telling herself she could play more once she was done, she slipped inside the bathroom.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Standing outside of the test subjects’ door, the group of scientists did a quick head count. Checking their various stun guns and pepper spray bottles, they made sure they were ready for whatever they would find inside. Between going over their mission, they all kept glancing out the window to see the waxing moon outside. After checking with the rest of her group, Dr. Velsha gave the signal and knocked on the door.

A deep howl reverberated from inside the chamber, sending a chill down the scientists’ spines. The tension was broken as they heard the sound of a woman clearing her throat on the other side. “Who is it?”

“The science team,” Dr. Velsha answered. “We’re here for- “

“Oh right! Come on in.”

Signaling the others to stay close, Dr. Velsha typed in the code on the door’s keypad. The entrance to the test chamber opened to reveal something resembling a bipedal, black wolf. It had the telltale ears, tail, and pawed feet, but they found it odd that its claws were attached to human-like hands. Even stranger was the pair of fur covered feminine breasts on its chest along with the bright streaks of purple hair covering part of its face. Pushing aside the abnormally colored locks, the wolf woman used her snout to sniff at the new arrivals. Identifying them as the nice people that had made her what she was, she bared a friendly smile with her fangs and swished her long tail along the ground.

“Ms. Hana?” Dr. Velsha asked.

“In the flesh, I mean, fur,” Yuki answered.

“Where are the others?”

“In their rooms. Come on, I’ll bring you to them.”

Before Dr. Velsha could speak, Yuki got on all fours and started running down the hall. While half of the team stared in awe, the others recorded every bit of information they could get from her bestial gait. Getting the group’s attention with a snap of her fingers, Dr. Velsha ordered them to follow Yuki inside.

The once sterile hallway was now littered with piles of different colored hair and torn up furniture. Along the smooth walls, deep gashes could be seen where the test subjects had practiced using their vicious claws. Discarded feeding plates were piled up on one side of the room, not a single drop left behind from the girls’ meals of raw steak. Most concerning of all, was the fact that all of the doors had been ripped off their hinges. Having gone over the video feed several times over, the group still found it hard to believe that someone like Yuki would do something so violent.

“Excuse me, Ms. Hana,” Dr. Velsha spoke.

“Yeah?” Yuki answered, sitting by one of the open rooms and freely scratching her groin.

“Why did you remove the doors?”

“Oh, so Joann and Kendra could get around. Can’t exactly turn doorknobs the way they are now.”

“That makes sense for their living quarters and the bathroom, but why did you do the same to Ms. Cloud’s and your own?”

Yuki scratched behind her ear. “Because we’re a pack.”

“A pack?” Dr. Velsha asked over the sound of pens rapidly writing on notepads.

“Yeah. After all we’ve been through, we’ve grown a spiritual bond between one another. Especially Kendra and Joann.”

“How so?”

Yuki got up on her hind legs and put her hand on the doorway. “It’ll be easier to show you. Come take a look.”

Following the wolf girl’s sign, the group peeked into the room. Only the light of the moon above illuminated the area, but it was enough to survey the chaotic mess. The furniture was strewn about the room, covered in claw marks and hair. The torn remnants of various clothing items covered the floor, left as nothing more than chew toys. In the center of the room lay a pair of bare mattresses that matched the rest of the room’s look and wild smell. The reason for the drastic makeover became evident as the group saw the pair of grey and brown, furry lumps lying on top of one another.

The sound of Yuki clicking her claws against the wall got the creatures to stir. Rising up on four legs, they opened up their muzzles to show off their fangs with wide yawns. Stretching out to rid themselves of their grogginess, gave the science team a perfect view of their various features. Between the ragged hair and snouts, they could see the faint cheek structure of what remained of their human faces. What were once arms had bent and twisted to match the pair of digitigrade legs on their lower half, complete with four-toed paws where their hands and feet used to be. As the wolves climbed off the mattress, what remained of their feminine breasts hung tightly to their underbellies. Patches of bare skin could still be could be seen scattered around their forms, helping the scientists identify who they were.

Taking a deep breath, Dr. Velsha once again stepped forward. “Ms. Tabin? Ms. Sabre?”

Kendra the brown wolf let out a series of growls before slowly opening its maw. “That…us.”

“Are you having trouble speaking?”

“No,” Joann added. “Just…hard…talk…human. Can…wolf…easy.” Turning her head towards Kendra, she let out a stream of bestial growls and grunts. Getting a quick bark from Kendra, she turned back to the scientists. “Why…here?”

“We’ve come to escort you to the examination room. Dr. Teld has some important information regarding how we’re going to handle the full moon tomorrow. However, we need all of you together before we can begin. Where is Ms. Cloud?”

“Behind…you,” Kendra growled out.

The group turned on their heels and prepared for a vicious creature that spit in the face of nature itself. Instead, they were met with a woman that looked like she had put on a cheap Halloween costume. The pointed ears on her head and the small tail between her legs were the only signs of anything wolf-like. Everything else from the enlarged canines, body hair covering her arms and legs, long nails on her fingers and toes, and the thick bush of pubic hair could have just been attributed to poor hygiene. Despite her lack of intrusive changes to her body, out of the four she seemed the most depressed.

“Ms. Cloud, is everything alright?”

“Yeaaaaaaah,” she sighed, pinching the biceps that hadn’t grown an inch since entering the lab. “Just…I don’t think you need me for the experiment. I must have a hell of an immune system.”

“Possible, but it still warrants further research. You could be the key to perfecting the antidote. Regardless, we need you to stay for the duration of the study.”

Letting out a huff, Donna stepped to the side to let the others pass. “Fine. Let’s just get this over with.”

“Awwww, don’t be so down on yourself,” Yuki said, eager to embrace her saddened friend in a hug. “You were a big help with getting this place ready for our new selves.”

“You’re just saying that to make me feel better,” Donna dismissed, gently pulling out of Yuki’s arms. “I just watched while you ripped off the doors like it was nothing.”

“Stop being so self-defeating,” Yuki replied, dragging Donna down the hallway without breaking a sweat. “Besides, we’re in this together, right girls?”

Joann and Kendra replied with a pair of howls, before running after the others. Keeping a safe distance away, the scientists tried their best to keep up while recording any and all details about the test subjects. The menagerie of science and twisted nature traversed the halls of the lab until they came to the examination room. Once there, the girls were greeted by Dr. Teld, his smile brimming with intense interest in their transformations.

“Good to see you all again,” Dr. Teld said as they lined up in front of him. “I must say, the results so far are looking good. We have a possible serum to reverse the changes, but we would prefer to administer it during the peak of your transformation. After your daily examination, you will be escorted to temporary living quarters that are devoid of any windows to the outside. This should prevent any unnecessary exposure to the full moon until we are prepared to deal with your final changes.”

“We…stay…to…gether?” Joann growled out.

“In separate rooms yes, but you’ll be in close proximity. I am aware of your developing pack mentality. Far be it from me to try and break your growing natural instincts.”

“No,” Kendra barked, stepping next to Joann and nuzzling her neck. “We…close.”

“I see,” Dr. Teld said, looking on with fascination as Joann playfully nipped at Kendra’s ear. “I’ll see what I can do to accommodate this…development. For now, let us move onto the usual tests. We need to prepare for tomorrow.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The night had finally come and Dr. Teld couldn’t have been more excited. From the safety of the second floor observation room, he looked down on the four doors containing his precious test subjects. The skylight above showed a perfect full moon, beautiful and foreboding with its visage. Straightening his coat and adjusting his glasses, he approached the intercom.

“I want to thank you all again for participating in this experiment,” he announced to the girls and lab assistants waiting below. “This final moon exposure has the highest probability for metamorphosis. We have taken the necessary precautions should anything unfortunate happens, but please listen to me carefully to avoid any unneeded danger. Does everyone understand?”

The scientists below gave a thumbs up, followed by a series of eerie howls from the containment rooms.

“Excellent, then we shall begin as planned. Ms. Hana, please come out of your room and stand directly underneath the skylight.”

Letting the assistants unlock her door, Yuki strode out with her tail waving behind her. Following the doctor’s instructions, she stepped into the middle of the room and basked in the moon’s rays. As she closed her eyes and held out her arms, the staff got in position to record results and handle any violent outbursts.

Considering Yuki’s appearance, it took a moment for anyone to notice her changes. The muscles beneath her thick fur bulked up even further, her form gaining several extra feet to tower over the lab assistants. The claws on her hands extended to match the increased size of her feet. Craning her neck to the sky, she let out a deep howl, her tail wagging rapidly as she embraced her werewolf self.

“Ms. Hana, how do you feel?” Dr. Teld asked.

“Amazing,” Yuki shouted back, wriggling her fingers and admiring her added muscles. Getting on all fours, she sped off across the room, bounding against walls with supernatural speed. While the scientists were shaken, none of them were hurt. The act showed the level of control Yuki had over her new form, even with the added size. Making a dead stop in the middle of the room, she flung back her purple bangs to shoot a toothy grin up at Dr. Teld.

“Impressive to say the least,” Dr. Teld called down, rapidly writing down on his notepad. “I can’t help wondering if you would like to stay like that once the test is over.”

“I’d love to, but it was already hard enough to get an exhibit with my purple hair,” Yuki called back. “But, I wouldn’t mind doing this again sometime. Maybe when I get a break from touring my art show.”

“I’ll definitely keep you in mind in-case we need any further testing. For now, please go back to your starting point so we can continue the exposures.”

Giving a quick thumbs up, Yuki jumped back to her room’s doorway and waited.

“For the next part, I would like Ms. Tabin and Ms. Sabre to come out together,” he announced, sending a shiver through the other scientists. “You two are very similar in your progression. To save time, I would like to see both of you undergo your transformation simultaneously.”

“Rrrreally?” Joann growled out.

“Yes, trust me,” he answered, thankful no one could see his wicked grin.

Hesitating in hopes that the doctor would change his mind, the lab assistants slowly undid the locks on Joann and Kendra’s doors. As the doors swung open, the two wolfs girls walked out and stopped a few inches from the skylight. They whispered something between one another, comforting words to help them move forward. Giving each other a loving nuzzle, they stepped into the moonlight.

Any patches of bare skin left were covered up as their fur grew thick and mangy. Their bodies lost any curves of their human forms, what was left of their breasts getting swallowed up by their hair. As the fur covered up their cheeks, their snouts elongated several extra inches to make way for their fangs growing sharper and jutting out of their mouths. Soaking up the moon’s energy, their bodies began to bulk up like Yuki’s had done beforehand. In a matter of seconds, the pair of wolves were twice their size, looking capable of tossing aside a bear without a second thought. While Kendra stopped at this point, Joann continued to grow until she was a few feet taller than her companion. The fact was not lost on the two of them, both of them sharing a playful nibble to celebrate their full transformation into wolves.

“How do you feel?” Dr. Teld asked.

Kendra opened her maw and let out a confused growl. Joann stepped forward and cleared her throat. She too opened her mouth, only to let out a series of barks and growls. Turning back to one another and then up to Dr. Teld, they did their best to shrug their shoulders.

“What are you…oh, I suppose you’ve lost the ability to speak entirely. Is that correct?”

The wolf girls nodded.

“Unfortunate, but we can work around it. I’ll set you up with some simple yes or no questions later. For now, let’s move onto our final test subject.”

Kendra and Joann took their leave to stand next to one another in the same doorway. With the wilder test subjects secured, the assistants let out a collective sigh of relief. The only thing left to do was to let out the less gifted of the quartet of test subjects. Unlocking the last door, the assistants stepped aside to let Donna out.

Donna took her sweet time coming out, her enthusiasm from the start of the experiment completely gone. Slumping her way to the edge of the moonlight, she waited for the doctor to give the signal. Hearing the call, she stepped beneath the window and held out her arms like Yuki had done before. As she and the rest of the lab expected, nothing seemed to happen. After waiting five minutes underneath the skylight, she looked exactly the same. With her depression spread to the rest of the lab, Donna turned to trudge back to her room.

Donna stopped in her tracks as she noticed a violent trembling take over her body. As she held her shaking hands up to her face, she watched the bristly hair across her body turn into thick, red fur that covered every inch of her skin. The sight of her muscles growing beneath the added hair, was enough to bring a smile to her face before it was turned into a muzzle. Falling onto her hands and feet, she dug her developing claws into the lab floor, leaving behind deep gashes. As her back arched and her tail straightened out, the smile turned into a snarl that showed off her dagger-like teeth. Growing with muscles and fur, she easily eclipsed Joann’s size and mass. When she finally stabilized, she was a towering beast of a wolf, only the red coloring of her hair evidence of who she was before.

“Incredible,” Dr. Teld announced, his pen threatening to burn through his notepad as he scribbled notes. “I’ve never seen a reaction like this before. The lunar energy that’s been building up inside your body must have finally hit its breaking point. Please, tell me how you feel.”

Donna turned her head towards Dr. Teld’s observation window. Locking her eyes with the man, she crouched low to the floor. With a savage roar, she leapt into the air and bounced against the glass. Unhurt, but shaken from the sudden attack, Dr. Teld held on to his desk to try and remain calm. Watching Donna recover from the impact, he rushed back to the intercom.

“Everyone, it’s a code RL4!” he shouted over the speaker. “Her survival instincts have gone wild with her mind. She’s completely out of control. Evacuate the room immediately. We’ll sedate her later.”

The other scientists wasted no time heeding Dr. Teld’s words. Abandoning their posts, they all dashed for the exit only to watch a flash of red leap over their heads. Donna landed right in front of the entrance and turned to face the terrified scientists. Baring her fangs, she dug her claws into the ground and snarled at them. She had them completely trapped and it was only a matter of time before she went on the attack.

Slowly inching away from the door, the scientists nearly missed the other wolf girls run past them. Taking up a defensive stance between Donna and the assistants, Kendra, Joann, and Yuki, started to howl. As the haunting noise filled the lab, Donna’s growling slowly dissipated. Her tail lowered itself between her legs as she walked over to the others. Craning her neck up, she joined the three of them in their song, all signs of aggression completely gone.

“What in the world is going on down there?” Dr. Teld asked.

Yuki broke away from the group and walked up to the observation room. “Donna was just a little overwhelmed by her new self. The rest of us had time to adapt to the wild thoughts, plus we had one another in case it became too much.” Looking back over her shoulder, she grinned at the sound of her friends singing together. “She just needed a reminder that she isn’t alone.”

“Do you think you can convince her to participate in a closer examination?” he asked, any fear replaced with fascination. “She may be one of the rarest cases of Lycanthropy to date.”

Donna’s ears perked up at Dr. Telds words. With Joann and Kendra close behind, she padded over to the observation window to sit next to Yuki. Panting heavily, she swung her tail back and forth as she looked on with enthusiasm at the doctor.

"I think that’s a yes,” Yuki said, reaching out to scratch the fur along Donna’s neck.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One month after they had first entered Dr. Teld’s lab, the girls were happy to be in direct sunlight again. Stepping out of the lab, they were all clad in spare sets of scrubs, having destroyed the rest of their clothing during their stay. In lieu of proper shoes, they all wore open toed flip flops, unwilling to confine their feet after going around barefoot for so long. Aside from the added length to their hair and a few strands along their arms and legs that escaped their razors, they looked as if nothing had happened. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“Great to finally be outside again,” Donna said, stretching out her arms and legs in preparation for an afternoon jog. “You guys want to join me?”

“Maybe some other time,” Yuki answered. “I have so many things I want to paint. So many feelings I need to put to canvas. Plus, I need to see if my publicist wouldn’t mind having a werewolf for a client. The doctor was already offering another injection of the virus if I wanted to do a more prolonged study.”

“I think I’m done with the wolf stuff for the rest of my life,” Joann commented.

“I’m just glad to be rid of all that fur,” Kendra added. Kendra turned back and stood at the front of the group. “Hey, you all left the you know what intact right?”

“Just like we promised,” Yuki answered, she and the other girls gesturing to their groins and the bushes of pubic hair hidden underneath.

“It’s an odd memento, but I can’t say it’s one I won’t forget,” Joann said.

Kendra stepped over and put her arm around Joann’s shoulder. “We just might need to do a little trimming here and there. Especially for when I invite you over to my place,” she said, a deep red taking over Joann’s face.

“If you two are done flirting with each other,” Donna said, getting into a running position, “I have some exercise to catch up on.”

“Still meeting us later for dinner?” Yuki asked.

“Of course, wouldn’t skip out on my pack like that.”

“See you later then,” Joann called out, as the girls dispersed to catch up on their old lives.

Running to catch up to Kendra, Joann stumbled a bit. Stopping to fix her flip flops, she noticed her toenails sticking out several inches further than earlier. Pulling her foot out, her eyes went wide as she beheld padding on the soles of her feet. Assured that she and the others would have to make another trip to see Dr. Teld, she put her shoe back on and chased after Kendra. She had no idea what the future held in store for them, but they were going to get through it together. They were a pack and nothing was going to change that.

Banana and blueberry!

banana🍌：favorite horror movies?

i am so terrible at this even though i’m meant to love horror movies!! i cant do anything on the spot; all necessary info just leaves me. like when i couldnt come up with what i thought was the scariest horror movie moment. i was saying how im more fond of story-based horror games….hm. i just havent seen a lot of movies in any genre at all. i like stuff where the rules of physics being undependable is a source of danger. stuff where there aren’t really any Rules to it. i generally would rather it be more “fantasy” horror than slasher films / stuff where its just humans vs humans. plus that avoids the especially reprehensible theme when whats Scary is mental disorders. the ol preoccupation with being trapped in an Asylum where the occupants have risen up like a zombie movie except you dont get infected except our heroes will undoubtedly ponder whether mental illness is infectious and whether my great uncle’s depression got passed on to me and maybe i belong here too, no dont say that jody you’re different you aren’t crazy like your great uncle dave and everyone else in here who wants to kill us with a ballpoint pen. im bitter; that whole idea is bad and harmful and what i’d really like is a subversion of that where in a Meta way, all those movies just present a new horror movie where the demonization of disorders by nt people puts them into the role of the danger/monsters. anyway whats my favorite horror movie?? uhhhm, idk i hate this lack of an answer lmao

blueberry: what do you want to dress up as for halloween?

i havent done anything for halloween in Years………the selection of horror movies on tv tended to be AWFUL/practically nonexistent and we lived close to a highway so we started getting zero trick or treaters for years in a row. my next to last halloween at my parents place, someone egged our door, and it was like tf have you been? literally no one trick or treats here ever. the next halloween i kept an egg or two by me on the chance if i heard them again i could run out and egg them back.

my last halloween was the most action packed b/c i was at work, and i delivered to a few ppl at their offices who were all halloweened out, and some of them gave me candy. costume-wise, what i would do..?? idk it would probs be classic halloween/scaryish……like i always liked being a bat, i did that twice. all that involved was wearing all black and ears and having wings made of black garbage bags. the second time i did this, i remember watching tv while my dad was just through the doorway making the wings and putting them together. in reality i doubt this was a difficult job but for some reason my like 7 yr old self had a paroxysm of finding this pitiful, in a sad way not a derisive way, although my dad sucks and i hate him. another one of my top depressing memories is my brothers first halloween. tf. anyways, i might be a bat just for the ease/classic factor, and the fun of having fake wings. i’ve always thought it would be fun to have a costume with semi-collapsible bird wings attached to the arms, like with outer flight feathers for the fingers and everything. its probably way too complicated or outright undoable, but oh well. except for the lantern, long hair, and absence of glasses, i have everything to be a daniel of mayfair from amnesia. tho that is too indirect, its more like For When You Want to Be Somebody At A Con Or Something. daniel 🕯or a bat 🦇

#i genuinely appreciate u always saving my life when it comes to ask memes

For the make me admit stuff, if you haven't already been asked them, 4, 6, 10, 21, 22, 24, 50, 54, 66, 74, 80, 81, and 84?

Holy Moses that’s a lot of questions lol.

Cutting for length.

4. Is trust a big issue for you?

Yes.

I am very giving with my trust, but I take it very seriously. If someone knowingly betrays my trust, they will never earn it back. I don’t have room in my life for toxic people who don’t have the decency to respect the trust I give them, and I won’t hesitate to block someone out.

6. What are you excited for?

On a small scale, getting TF out of work today. I’m about 99% sure the cold I had earlier this week has evolved into a full blown ear infection, I’m in pain, I just want to get one of my docs to give me an antibiotic and I want to go home.

On a larger scale, anniversary dinner and a movie on Sunday, and then our camping trip in August!

10. What is the last beverage you had?

I have a cup of coffee, a cup of tea, and a water bottle on my desk, but I honestly don’t remember which one I drank from last.

21. Are you in a good mood?

Nope.

I’m sleep deprived, I’m annoyed because all of my patients have been bitchy today and I don’t feel like putting up with it, and I’m in pain.

Send help.

22. Would you ever want to swim with sharks?

If they were the non-bitey species, absolutely. If they were bitey, as long as I was in a cage, still yes.

24. What do you want right this second?

Lie down and take a nap.

50. Ever used a bow and arrow?

Absolutely.

I did a lot of archery at summer camps when I was a kid. I haven’t done it in years, but I’d love to get back out and do it again. It’s the one thing in my life that I was kind of abnormally brilliant at right out of the gate.

54. Ever eat a pierogi?

LOL.

I’m Polish. I grew up on pierogi. My mom makes the best ones everrrrrr.

66. Cheetos Or Fritos?

Cheetos if I have to pick, but I like both.

74. What is your favorite book?

This is not even a fair question.

HOW DO I CHOOSE?

Off the top of my head I’m going to go with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. One of my favorite series of all time, and my favorite book in the bunch.

80. Hot tea or cold tea?

Hot tea.

81. Tea or coffee?

Depends on my mood, but overall, probably coffee.

84. Can you hold your breath without holding your nose?

Yes.

Ask me things!

The Magical Mr. Shade

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Ok this one’s kind of boring but eh here’s some more lamp tf buddies doing things

Travis was halfway through his cigarette before he realized he’d been smoking it. Christ, if Dudster walked in here Travis get a mouthful- the pretty man would probably chase him out onto the street with a broom or something!

Oh.

Oh right.

He turned slowly to his silent companion for his smoke- the old and actually pretty boring looking table lamp right next to him. It had a metal body, a switch you had to turn, and a carnation pink clip on shade that honestly looked like it belonged to some other light source. It sure didn’t look like anything other than a lamp.

Travis honestly did not know how to describe what just happened. Even if he were to do it perfectly, he’d never believe it.

Travis sighed at first. What was the point of hoping that Dudster might come back? He was dead. Or, a lamp, which, according to Dudley, was the same thing. Travis noticed the way that the shade was cocked, just slightly, as if Dudley was about to ask a question, Aren’t you going to put that stinking fire stick out already?

“Oh come on, cut me some slack! I just lost my best friend. And anyway, it’s customary to smoke to mourn the dead.”

And now he was talking to a lamp. Not a lamp with a voice and feelings, but a completely unconscious lamp. A bunch of metal and wires and glass.

He glanced at the lamp again, at the way it had it’s shade tilted. What if Dudley wasn’t actually gone? What if he was in there, watching Travis?

Travis cringed and bit down the cigarette as he did so, almost breaking the paper skin and making his mouth very unpleasant. He ran out of the labyrinth of shelves- seriously why did Dudley have his shelves so annoyingly close and twisty? -and out onto the street. He ran into the middle of the road, pulled the cigarette from his mouth and threw it on the ground. He stomped it several times, just as a heard a snort and there was hot hair in his ear. A horse leading a carriage had stopped just inches from him.

Travis looked up the nose of the animal, and beyond, at the man leading the cart.

“Travis Eastcott? What are you doing, son?”

Of course- it was the milkman. Travis smiled sheepishly, “Hi, Mr. Draper.”

“Back already, huh? Say, you and your sailors stay out of the road, will you? You startled Lester.”

Travis offered the horse a pet on the nose before running back into the shop. His mouth felt weird and raw without something in it, but this was the right thing to do. He navigated the maze back to the lamp.

“All gone, buddy,” he said, “spat it out onto the street. Sorry about that,” he crouched down.

The lamp said nothing.

“No answer, huh? Can you- can you give me some implication you heard me?”

It didn’t look like it.

“Maybe you could- flicker?” But of course he couldn’t. The bulb had sparked brightly, then burned out into nothingness a little after Dudley had stopped talking. It was blown, or the lamp had finally shit the bed. He hoped it was former until it occurred to him that his bulb might be Dudley’s brain. Travis bit his lip. He really didn’t want Dudley to be dead.

“Oh, jeez, buddy. This is my fault. This is all my fault! I never shoulda brought that book back!” Travis turned the switch a few times just to be sure that the light didn’t spark back to life. No, it was broken. How would it even work now? It had no electrical cord, and no way to attach one.

Travis sighed, and picked the lamp up. If Dudley were an inanimate object, where would he would Travis to set him? Somehow, this had never been discussed between the two of them.

Dudley would definitely want to be in his store, among his books. Well, so-far-so-good. But not on the floor where he couldn’t watch anything. Nah, he’d want to see the people, if for nothing else than he liked to see folks start reading in his store and get engrossed.

He took Dudley to the counter at in the center of the store, in a cave where five or size different shelves met. This was where Dudley usually was during open hours. Travis put him on the counter, next to a bending desk lamp. “Is this, OK?” he asked.

He stepped away a little, and felt a little tug at his heartstrings. Was this is final resting place, then? Dudley N. Shade, local boy and business owner, jokester, egghead, tall glass of water, and a weirdo, mostly. He was younger than Travis though, by maybe a month, and he deserved more than this. His light didn’t even work.

Travis glanced at the other lamp. He supposed, at this point, it couldn’t hurt to try. If Dudley got a new bulb and could communicate through it- maybe through morse code, well, that was better than being dead, right?

Travis checked the rival lamp first, switching it on and off. He unscrewed the working bulb and- he cringed. Did he really want to do this? It would be like, beheading his friend.

He shut one eye and took the lampshade off quickly, setting it on the counter. Now his muscles tensed and he gritted his teeth. He needed to change these bulbs fast- what if Dudley really was still alive and couldn’t breathe or think or anything because his head was detached? Then that made Travis some kind of surgeon- somebody so desperate to save his patient he was flirting with death herself- or, more likely, trampling all over her dress.

His hands were shaking though, and the old bulb fell on the floor, and shattered. “NO!” Travis shouted, because what if Dudley’s soul or something was in there? He gasped, breathing deeply. His hand was shaking so much as he screwed the replacement bulb in.

Whoosh!

There was, kind of, a displacement of air- a feeling that there was suddenly less room in the space. Travis made sure the bulb wouldn’t go any further, then looked up, meeting a pair of dark brown eyes.

The eyes belonged to sleepy man sitting cross legged on the counter, in a plain button shirt and brown trousers with a rope for a belt so that he didn’t have to wear suspenders. His hair was black, and fluffy, and long- probably too long but he was too stubborn to cut it. His nose was straight and narrow and his cheekbones were high and he yawned. Then he shook his head, and looked back into Travis’s eyes like he was just noticing him there.

“Trav? Am I hallucinating, or did you die too?”

Travis made an undignified whoop and threw his arms around Dudley, almost knocking him off.

“I missed you, too!” Dudley said, “Why am I up here?”

Travis was still on his first questions, though, “You’re not dead!” He said in a celebratory tone, “You’re not dreaming either!”

“This is real?” Dudley stretched his neck to see around Travis, “I’m in my shop! Trav, you brought me back! I’m alive again! I’m a man again! The curse did wear off!”

He threw his arms around Travis, and something else, too. Something that hit the sailor in the back, hard. “Owch! Jeezum buddy, whaddya doing, whacking me with a pipe?”

Travis pulled out of the hug, and Dudley was left sitting on the table with both his arms out- the urn and unlit bulb of the lamp on one hand, and the shade in the other. Travis scowled, “Let’s throw that thing to the deepest part of the bay, shall we?”

Dudley blinked at the objects he was holding. “I guess it is time for a new one,” he stuck the lampshade back on the lamp, and smirked, “you know, when your electrical devices suck you inside them, that’s when you know they gotta go.”

Travis rolled his eyes. Dudley still had that odd sense of humor. “I’ll keep that in mind next time I turn into my radio. Here,” he tried to take the lamp from Dudley, but the bookseller wouldn’t let go, “why not give it to me?”

Dudley was in a one armed tug of war with Travis- one he was faring surprisingly well in. His eyebrows came together, “I want to,” he said, “but I can’t let go of it.”

So Travis did. Dudley was grimacing as he lifted the lamp back into his lap. He put his left hand on the base next to the right, and lifted the right as he peeling it from flypaper. Then he tried to remove his left hand, but just ended up lifting the lamp. His mouth twisted.

“Dudster,” Travis said slowly, “this is how it all started before. You changing.”

“Yeah?” Dudley slammed his lamp hand down, “I know that!” The lamp made a harsh sound on the wooden desk, and Dudley blinked. Then he brought his hand up, and smashed it down again. And again, and again, and again. He brought it up to his hand, “It bent up yet?”

“No- but your desk surface has a hole in it.”

Dudley made a horrified wheeze, jumped up, and ran to a supply closet. He shuffled around for a while, and picked up a toolbox. He knelt in front of it and struggled for a second. Travis realized he was trying to open it with one hand.

He took out a hammer and lifted it up, before Travis shouted, “NO! D, you’ll break your hand.”

Dudley looked at his hand, and the lamp firmly affixed to it, “I can live with not having a hand. I can’t- go through all that- again. It was like I died!”

Well, Dudley had certainly thought so before. Travis wasn’t to ask him that it had been like after he’d stopped speaking, but Dudley was raising the hammer again. Travis wrestled it from him, “I’ll do it! Just, put your hand on the base, or something.”

Dudley did the trick, sticking his other palm to the base and taking his left hand off. They set the lamp on the floor between them, and Travis started to pound with the hammer. He managed to impact the urn several times before there was a spark and something went flying back into the shop. Travis got up and received it. It was the hammer’s head.

“D, what the fuck is this lamp made of?”

Dudley stared at it, “Not what it was made of an hour ago.”

Travis made an A with his fingers on his lip, “Alright bud, here’s the deal: we got a curse and an indestructible lamp.”

“Trav, please don’t say ’curse’.”

“We’ve got a magic, indestructable lamp, and it’s stuck to your hand,” he shrugged, “I don’t know bud, maybe we gotta amputate before the infection gets in you.” They should probably hurry before Dudley started changing. It was a lot better to amputate a hand than a guy’s lampshade head.

“You mean, go to a doctor?”

“Yeah, bud. I know you don’t like them, but we gotta go,” he extended a hand to help the sitting man up.

Dudley shook his head, though, “Travis! We just agreed on this.”

“Wha- D! You can’t be serious. You knew what just happened! You seriously would rather go through that again than go see a doctor?”

Dudley cocked his head. He was considering it. He actually had to consider it.

“Dudley!”

“Yes,” he said, “I’m not seeing a doctor. No way; no how.”

Travis groaned and grumbled and swore and berated and threatened, but Dudley refused to go to the doctor, and Travis had sort of wordlessly promised not to manhandle him again. So they went back to pouring over the book. This time Dudley sort of pointed the bulb at the pages while holding the shade in his other hand. The men that found that the shade had to be touching the lamp or in Dudley’s hand. Travis couldn’t even slip it off the bulb.

It tied up Dudley’s hands up entirely and Travis had to flip the pages for him. It was tedious, and it went on and on. Travis could see Dudley’s arm straining from holding it up so long, and his stomach made a piteous sound.

“You need to eat,” Travis said.

“You gonna spoonfeed me?” Dudley was without a smile. Travis felt bad.

“I wish you didn’t have to hold that stupid lamp,” the sailor said.

Ting!

It was the sound they were both dreading, and it was a bit anticlimactic after it was over. Dudley shook out his now free hand, “Great. Now I can eat.”

He was out the door before Travis realized what was happening. There was just the jingle of bells and Dudley was on the street. Travis stuck his head out.

“Wait! D! You can’t let people see you like that!”

Travis spotted the lampshade faced man on the corner, at an ice cream cart. He was just making the exchange of money and dessert and turning around. His too-large eyes smiled at Travis, and he smeared his shade with his ice cream cone. Dudley startled and sort of stumbled on the street, and put his hand to his now messy shade.

Travis grabbed him and pulled him back into the shop.

Fear 4x15: Analysis

Okay, who watched Fear last night? I really loved this episode. I totally freaked out about three different times. Let's just dive right in.

**As always, spoilers abound for FTWD 4x15. Don’t read until you’ve watched! You’ve been warned!**

In the opening credits, we saw a car with flashing lights. This is because we had several instances of walkers or people falling onto cars from great heights, making the alarms went off. Just having the car symbol makes me side-eye it, though.

So, just as we suspected, Alica and Charlie found Strand and John. They had to go looking for some way to get them off the island.

John told Strand that he had symbolically relegated himself to an island before, but that "someone else took me off that island." I thought that was a really cool way to explain it and it definitely parallels to Beth and Daryl. We all know Daryl goes into survival mode intends to emotionally maroon himself on an island. It was Beth who brought him out of that, just as June brought John out of it. Yet another parallel between the two story lines.

Searching for a boat to help John and Strand, Alicia and Charlie first look at a bathtub. It's one of those things they don't use and has no relevance to the story, so it must be symbolic.

There haven’t been tons of bathtubs in the show, but there've been a few. The one that first occurred to me was with the governor in 4x06. In the same scene where he gets the backgammon game and sees a wheelchair, he finds a legless walker in a bathtub. A bathtub, by definition, could also be part of the Bathroom/Toilet Paper Theme.

Alicia and Charlie meet up with Martha (Filthy Lady). She tries to kill them, but then passes out from blood loss. They end up taking Al’s truck back from her and use it to go rescue John and Strand. I noticed they did actually find a canoe on top of the car, but didn't use it. So, the symbolism here was very strong.

They see a bathtub and then a boat, both of which have major connections to water. (Beth = water)

The other thing that occurred to me is that we saw the boat, and we all know that ocean/boat/sailor stuff is reminiscent of Beth. And right after that, Martha started shooting at Alicia. She didn't hit her, but she hit the car window and the glass broke. (Broken Glass Theme) It reminded me of 5x16 where Sasha fights with FG over the gun and shoots the glass picture. I'm just pointing out that we have an instance of water-related objects, followed by a gunshot that breaks glass.

Eventually, they do manage to rescue Strand and John from the island and reunite with all the others.

Morgan's group is still stranded at hospital. First off, Jim pees off the side of the building, onto the walkers. He had reasons for doing so, but I couldn't help but be reminded of Daryl peeing in the moonshine shack. And remember, Jim is the one who makes his own homemade alcohol. So, we have a person associated with that peeing, just like there Daryl did.

Morgan's group (sans Jim) decides to go back down to the hospital and look for Al. She got out her own way and has disappeared. They don't find her in this episode. But all the walkers that were clustered at the doors of the elevator are gone. Something drew them away. And why did they not come back when Morgan tapped his stick on the ground? Because the roof had caved in and trapped them all.

Guys, that is EXACTLY what happened in TWD 4B, when Glenn was looking for Maggie. Remember in that case, they were in a tunnel and the roof caved in, trapping all the walkers. In both cases, we didn't see the actual cave-in, just the aftermath. In both cases, a couple (Glaggie and John/June) reunited directly after.

Morgan decides he will stay behind and distract the walkers so the group can get away. This whole situation was very much like S1. The rooftop even looked a whole lot like the one they left Merle on. Some people people (Morgan in this case) created a distraction so the others could get out, just like Rick and Glenn created a distraction so that they could rescue the others from the mall in S1.

Morgan ends up throwing a walker onto a car, setting off a blaring alarm to lure walkers away from the hospital’s entrance. That's very much like the car alarm Glenn used in S1 to distract walkers away from the entrance of the mall.

Now, at this point it's obvious that this hospital is not Grady. Remember we wondered before if the hospital scenes in FTWD could possibly have been shot at the same location as Grady. At this point, it's obvious that is the case. Even if it didn't look the same in the show, I think they would've told us on TTD that it was the same location. They always do that.

They actually named the hospital this episode. It’s called St. Luke's, and we see a Travis County ambulance. I checked and there is more than one St. Luke’s Hospital in Texas, and Travis County is real as well. But at this point, it really doesn't matter. This parallels to Grady are crazy-strong.

Morgan decides to stay on the rooftop with Jim, mostly because the generator is out of juice in the elevators not working. So, he really has no way down because walkers are filling the stairwells. He tells June that “at least, I got you on your way back to John." That struck me as something that could be Beth-ish. Maybe he'll help her on her way back to Daryl and TF.

I noticed they use the phrase “class A asshole” twice. I wondered if perhaps we could relate that to the A theme. Not only because of the “class A” part, but because remember that during S7, tptb said the A on the back of Daryl’s shirt at the Sanctuary stood for “asshole.” We knew that couldn't be all the A stood for because it wouldn't go with other instances, but obviously they’re repeating the same patterns.

The entire group comes back for Morgan because they need him. He's become their leader. (Which is interesting because I remember a lot of people asking who the new leader would be when Madison died. (“Died.”) People speculated either Alicia or Strand, although neither seem quite up to par. It's obvious now that Morgan has become the leader, rather than one of them. This gives him a lot of parallels to Rick because in S1, Rick was trying to make it back to his family ended up leading a group of people he didn't know. Morgan has now done the exact same thing. And of course, by extension, this gives Morgan parallels to Beth as well.

Here's the part that made me pretty much split water out of my nose. When Team Fear Family comes to rescue Morgan from the hospital, what do they show up in but a FIRE TRUCK!!!

(ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?)

I mean, we have this hospital, and Morgan is trapped in it (technically on top) and all these different parallels with Grady. And then the group shows up in a fire truck? I seriously choked on my water when I saw that fire truck. I had to go rant to my group about how we don’t have to work for these parallels. They’re practically rubbing our noses in it. You don't get any closer to Grady than hospital with a fire truck in it.

(Yes, I know there were spoilers about this some time ago, but I’d completely forgotten about them and my jaw still dropped when I saw it.)

Interestingly, they leave the fire truck behind and just take Al's truck. So, just like in TWD, the fire truck doesn't go with the group or show up again. We don't know exactly what happened with that fire truck in TWD. Obviously it was left behind at some point too. But keep in mind that they used it to rescue Morgan in this episode. I don't know how or why, but somehow that fire truck had something to do with rescuing Beth.

(P.S. I have more to say concerning this hospital and the generators and how they relate to the Battery Theory, based on a conversation I had with @boltthrutheheart right after watching this episode, but I’m gonna make that it’s own theory later in the week.)

We saw the Breaking Glass Theme here when Morgan is trying to get down to the fire truck. He jumps down to a different level of the hospital and immediately a walker breaks through some glass and attacks him. I love that John Dorie shot the thing in the head all the way from the ground. That just makes him more freaking awesome than he already is.

Jim gives his recipe for alcohol to Sarah before sacrificing himself so the group can live. He tells her to put the walkie to her ear so he can tell her that something only she can hear. That, too, is a parallel to S1. Remember that Dr. Jenner whispered something in Rick's ear that no one else heard. We now know it was that they were all infected. The rest of the group didn't learn that until the end of S2. Sarah seemed happy about whatever Jim told her, so I don't think it's a doom-and-gloom message. Even so, the parallel is there.

Martha gets away. She writes the recipe on Jim's face and takes him as her new pet walker. (Does she strike anyone else as Michonne’s evil twin? Just wondering.)

What I predicted at the beginning of 4B is what exactly what has happened and is happening in terms of the plot of the show. (That it would probably take the entire back half of the season for them to all reunite and get back on the road to Virginia.)

At the end of this episode, Morgan stated that they were find Al (obviously what next week’s finale will be about), and then they will go to Virginia together. So, things are on track as far as I'm concerned. I'm honestly not thinking we’ll probably see Beth next episode. It's possible we might see her as a final cliffhanger sort of thing, but I just don't feel like we’re quite there yet in story. If they meet her, chances it will be on the road back to Virginia. But still, everything we predicted so far for Morgan’s group has happened.

I’m very happy about that. ;D (Really not saying this to call myself a genius or anything. Just saying that if you read the signs and symbolism, the direction of the show becomes quite obvious.)

To close, just a couple of notes about things that were sent on TTD.

Aaron Stanford (who played Jim) pointed out that Jim had dialogue foreshadowing. Before they went to the hospital, he complained, saying they shouldn't go because they’d become trapped or separated and die. Everything he said came true. They did become trapped, got separated from Al, and he died.

On the one hand, it's sort of karmic justice because he was the one being negative about it, and therefore he was the one who died. That's just literature 101. The point is that they used a dialogue foreshadow, and then it was fulfilled. Remember how many dialogue foreshadows around Beth pointed to her living.

Jenna Elfman point out something very similar. Talking about Morgan's arc, she said in the first episode of FTWD S4, Morgan ran away from Alexandria and ended up in Texas. Before he left, Rick told Morgan that would he find his way back to people. That eventually he would find people want to be with them again. That happened. In fact, that's what Morgan's entire arc has been about in Fear. But again, my point is that dialogue foreshadows happen and then are fulfilled on the show. Beth’s will be too.

Aaron Stanford also mentioned Cartman from South Park. I won’t go into this too much, but it’s not the first South Park reference people outside the show have made. It’s not even the first one connected with Beth. You can read the other post I did about this HERE and make up your own mind.

So, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode of Fear. Anything catch anything I missed?
