This is VERY UNLIKE ME, but here's some incredibly fast, EXTREMELY late-night meta on two dramas (Dangerous Romance and I Feel You Linger in the Air) from this TIRED mama, all before Only Friends later today!

(Y'all. I've missed being around this week! Moving and unpacking... I'll tell ya. It gets harder as I get older. Mostly because I/we have more stuff, and the BRAINS I need to figure out where this stuff should go is like, as mentally draining as it is physically draining to open boxes, unpack 'em, go up and down stairs -- damn. I have been COLLAPSING at night. Friends have been sending me meta to read -- @ranchthoughts, I see you, boo! <3 <3 The little peeks and breaks I've been getting have been giving me energy. I'm a little back on my bullshit now, and I can't wait to give Only Friends the full treatment tomorrow. But for now, quick notes!)

1) Dangerous Romance, episode 4: Listen, the friends covered a lot (here, here, and here -- @neuroticbookworm, @lurkingshan, @wen-kexing-apologist, all clowning correctly). WKA also notes that this show was written by Pratchaya Thavornthummarut and Bee Pongsate, two of the three writers of some of the best BLs ever -- Bad Buddy, My School President, Dark Blue Kiss, etc. When Bee and Pratchaya write WITHOUT Au Kornprom, as they did in BBS, MSP, and DBK -- things go a touch awry (cc @chickenstrangers, as we've talked about this before). Bee and Pratchaya, for instance, wrote Vice Versa, which I haven't watched, but I know the fam is mid on. (Remember when Aof Noppharnach had to come in to save 2gether by making Still 2gether? 2gether was written by Bee and Pratchaya -- Aof and Au joined in on the Still 2gether correction.)

ANYWAY, ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY that I should have been smarter about this show when I started in on it. It's directed in part by Lit Phadung, formerly of SOTUS, which is a fine show by nostalgia's standards! But like, not the height of drahmah.

So there's a lot of mid kinda swirling around here, and god, honestly, I'm kicking myself, because I should have been more sus. I should have been more sus!

Perth and Chimon are too good for this show. Not that I hate it! I don't hate the show, per se. It's just -- the first episode was so intense, so very issues-based, as all the dear friends noted, that to swerve towards a SUCH a gloopy romance plot was just... man, even SOTUS was WAY more clear in its plot than DR. (Dudes, I was chatting with @neuroticbookworm while I was watching this, and I was like, LOVE SICK HAD A MORE CONVINCING ROMANCE PACE THAN THIS. LOVE SICK!!!) DR is moving WAY too quickly towards the cheesiest of tropes, without the beef to back it up.

Anyway, from the energy vibes that Perth and Chimon are giving off, they should either 1) be making out by now, and/or 2) doing it by now, because like, WHOA, lots of staring, boys! LOTS of staring. And lemme tell ya, someone's staring at me like that, like in the clurb or something, and I'm like, yep, make-out time, right?! RIGHT?!

I am now officially watching this show, as I noted to @neuroticbookworm, literally to watch all the dear GMMTV celebs in here try to avoid a dumpster fire. (Where the hell is June?!) (At least Marc and Pawin are funny for like, the 10 seconds we see them.)

OH, ALSO?! What's the difference in Sailom becoming a sex worker vs. being bought out as a live-in tutor? Were we supposed to judge Sailom becoming an escort? Are we intentionally ignoring bias in socioeconomic gaps, writers? TOO MUCH TO ASK, TEAM! Too. much. to. ask.

I luv you, Perth and Chimon, I LUV YOU, BUT WHY. ANYWAY. MOVING ON.

2) I haven't written anything about I Feel You Linger in the Air yet because of LIFE (see above), and I was very wibbly about it when I started it, because you, your mother, MY mother, and MY MOTHER'S MOTHER all know about how sus I am on Tee Bundit (but I finally watched Lovely Writer and LOVED IT, so I am a touch less sus).

ANYWAY, thanks to the convincing of @lurkingshan and @neuroticbookworm to look past the slow pace of the first episode as accurate for a historical drama, I kept at it with IFYLITA. And I'm glad I did.

Now this? THIS IS A BL, BABY!

We got sexy typewriter scenes! Drawings of cutie widdle pigwets! Drunk falls! Red cheeks! Reading out loud! POETRY! FLOWERS! ENEMIES AND INTRIGUE! (I'm not happy about the marital rape, but unfortunately, I am thinking that is accurate for the time being portrayed.)

Admittedly -- god, Tee, the episodes are still a little long, my homey. A little long. BUT.

This show, as so many have noted, is just beyond gorgeous. The plumerias. I LOVE Ming and Maey. I LOVE THAT WE MAY HAVE A SAPPHIC SUB-PLOT.

But I also appreciate that only four episodes in, we haven't forgotten that this is a time travel show, in the midst of the budding romance. My thinking on that out-of-body experience on Jom's part was Jom flirting with consciousness after the present-day car crash. But who knows.

I like that Jom is making the connections with those drawings he found in that chest -- and that, lol, he was asking Prik questions about the architecture. Even though Yai's dad seems like a bad dude, I have faith that Tee Bundit is going to keep Nu Surasak going as a good BL dad/dude -- fingers crossed.

I am just -- I am loving where this show is going to go. The house is worried about Yai. I like the way the scent about Yai's preferences is a lot more muted in 1920s Thailand than it would be as set in the present-day. I just think that's totally accurate for what I would call an "old-fashioned" Asian perspective now. I'm very intrigued to see how a historical drama like this will wrestle with homophobia, as this is my first period BL, and -- I'm just excited to see where it'll go.

The acting is GREAT, the pace of the romance is GREAT, the pace of the filming is still slow, but I can't believe I'm saying this -- I'll continue to forgive it for now. Tee, please, PLEASE don't fail us, because you have something GREAT going on here. Yai, head over HEEEELLLLSSS for Jom, is just -- it's a wonder to see, and I am fully on this roller coaster palanquin ride.

(Also, hey, TWO DRAMAS where dudes were PAID to live with their crushes. K!)

(Oh, also, definitely, next time I'm at a clurb, in like, 20 years, I am definitely ordering an URN of liquor with a ladle. Like a baijiu urn. Fuck yeah. What a LOOK.)

(Okay, that's it, good night, see you for Only Friends!)

What are the relationship of Li with Mk and others and Shen too if its alright?(Sorry I'm just really invested in your oc's🥺✨)

DON'T BEE I LOVE TALKING ABT THEM 🥹❤

Also phew this one is gonna long answer so prepare! :'D,

1. Note: Li makes his first appearance in mid season 2 while Shen makes his first appearance in mid season 4!

Li Xin:

Mei dragon:

Just like I wrote on his sheet, she's Li's childhood bestie and are super close, for Li she's seen as a possible love interest too! Problem is that he's too scared to say anything and doesn't wanna ruin the long friendship they share so he loves her in silence :')

MK:

Just like the rest, Li only knows him through Mei. At first, Li was doubting him and judging him in all ways, didn't really like him at first because he thought he was the only best friend Mei had lmao he was kind of jealous tbh.

But around season 3 Li sees MK as an close friend too! The moment MK had to start figuring things on his own, that is when Li was able to relate to him a lot. He would often try to mentally support him and just be there for him as much as he needed. He adores the way he is and also apologizes to him for his behavior and now he's extra caring for him. uvu

Monkey King/Sun Wukong:

Nope. Not even a bit. For Li monkey King is a burden. He gets to learn about him throughout the season 2, 3 and 4 and he is not very convinced by him. He often try to avoid talking to him and be annoyed with his presence alone. He only sees the bad traits instead of the good ones. In the end of season 4 he does get to learn more about him, but stays natural towards him. So he doesn't really see him as friend.

Tang:

For Li he's sorta a mutual than a close friend. He doesn't bond with him much but they had their moments too. Li gets to see his troubles too and notices his lack of confidence. He often try to tell him the opposite though. By now you'd know that Li is sort of the therapy friend of the bunch.

Pigsy:

Just like Tang a mutual. he would often take advice from him when it comes to cooking because Li had to microwave his food most of the time because he is a student. He'd love to learn how to cook proper meals for his health and regrets never learning it from his parents. Pigsy gladly teaches him as well. Li also learns quickly and he's thankful he's here too.

Sandy:

Li sees him as a close mutual. At first he was quite suspicious of him because he never saw so much kindness before. Almost made him believe that guy is not what he seems to be. He actually had a lot of doubts in everyone but slowly he warmed up to him too and saw a genuine kind individual. Since he received pain and suffering most of the time he often got fooled by people who pretended to be kind. He's glad Sandy is not that person and never will be. He appreciates his presence too.

Red son:

He doesn't wanna admit it but pretty sure he's part of them too! When first met in S3 Li gets super suspicious of him too. Especially after hearing about what he did in the past with the others he quickly becomes protective and alert of his friends safety. Soldier instinct he has. He didn't really like him at first and was neutral about him until in the special episode: embrace your destiny, he sees him as ally once seeing how much he helped. Especially Mei since Li gets super anxious and even more protective once he saw Mei struggling with the fire of Samadhi.

2. Note: As for everyone else he was able to meet throughout the adventures with MK and the others, he'd stay natural and takes time to warm up to anyone that is seen as ally, and he will be protective and shielding against the enemies.

Shen Xiaotian:

Let's say that his relationship with MK and the others is a mix of hatred and adoration. He pities MK but at the same time he can't help but feel pleasure when watching him suffer because he thinks he deserves it. Shen sees him as a corny hero but at the same time Shen wishes he was that type. For the rest he isn't very impressed by them but more annoyed. Especially with Li because for some reason Li caught his attention shortly. There is not much to say about Shen and his relationship with Mk and the others since he freshly appears in season 4.

As for Monkey King, he's a different case. Shen first met him when he caught him stealing peaches of immortality. Back then Shen was a passionate celestial warrior so he'd definitely try to catch that monkey. For sure he failed. He was a nuisance to him and still is. Yet he does adores the way of his rebellious acts. But Shen is even more unhinged than Monkey King so when he finds out how "weak" be became he instantly gets disgusted by him.

Phew! That was a lot to write! Took me almost an hour! Excuse my spelling mistakes, I am quite fast in typing and english is not my first language! :'D. But yeah, let me know if something is unclear I try to explain it more!

season 1, episode 2 : the one with the jenna thing

The five of us were sitting around The Grill. There weren't many people there, just an older couple, and a few waiters and waitresses standing around. Even then, we still weren't talking loudly.

"Why was Jenna there?" Aria asked the question we were all thinking.

"I guess she's back," Spencer responded.

"I don't like it." I said, and they all stared at me. "What? With her around, we have something to lie about. Something to be guilty about. We ruined her life."

"That cop acted like we were suspects or something." Hanna stated, and she wasn't wrong. He totally did.

"Do you think we looked guilty?" Emily asked, panicking a little.

"Why would we?" Aria asked her. "We haven't done anything wrong."

"Ugh, except you know, we ruined Jenna's life." I snapped. Aria acting like we never did anything to Jenna made me mad. Yeah, Jenna wasn't my favorite person and never would be, but we were all there that night.

"Except lie about "The Jenna Thing"." Hanna defended me and made the point to Aria.

"We promised we'd never bring up "The Jenna Thing" again. Remember? It never happened." Spencer told us.

Emily, who was sitting to my left, reached over and grabbed my water, and took a drink. "This conversation is making me paranoid."

"I'd say I'd order us another one but we're talking about things that we promised never to bring up." I glared at Spencer and Aria.

"Have you found a way to forget? I still wake up sometimes in the middle of the night - " Aria told us.

"Aria, it was an accident." Spencer told her, trying to make her feel less guilty about the situation.

"Was it though?" I whispered, but only Emily and Hanna heard me.

Emily looked down at the friendship bracelet that Alison had made each of us. They were identical . Hanna took the opportunity to dump the rest of the alcohol from the funeral in her soda. The old man stared at her, judging.

"It's medicinal." She told him, but he clearly didn't believe her. "Cramps!" I had to stifle my laugh as the man finally looked away.

"I don't get it," Emily said.

"Don't get what?" I asked her, because there were a lot of things that I didn't get.

"How does A know something about me that only Alison knew?"

"Ali knew all our secrets, but," Aria started, she took a breath. "We never knew any of hers."

"I knew some." Spencer told her.

"Me too." I said quietly. I didn't like knowing Alison's secrets.

"Go on," Aria prompted us.

I looked at Spencer and all but pleaded with her to talk. I did not want to.

"I can't," She finally admitted after our staring contest.

"I'm not sharing what I know until you share what you know!"

"She'd kill me if I told you." Spencer told the girls.

"She's dead." Hanna deadpanned.

Spencer thought for a second before she blurted it out. "Ali was seeing someone that summer."

"I knew she was keeping something from me!" Emily said, upset. I chose to ignore the fact that Emily liked Alison because I knew she would tell me when she was ready to. "I mean us." She added quickly.

"Well, why didn't she want us to know?" Aria asked Spencer, also ignoring Emily's comment.

"He was an older boy." Spencer admitted. "And he had a girlfriend."

"Who was it?" Emily pried.

"Can we at least have his initials?" Hanna asked her.

"She never told me his name." Spencer responded.

"That's only half a secret." Hanna deadpanned again.

"It's more than you ever got from her!" Spencer defended herself. "Well, except for maybe you, Lily. But you would've told Hanna."

"True, and I did tell Hanna. But... I think Ali knew what she was doing that night." I said slowly. "I think Ali wanted to hurt Jenna. And I know she said that she didn't know that Jenna was there." I said quickly, taking a breath. "But part of me thinks that she wanted to hurt both Toby and Jenna that night. She didn't care who was in the garage."

"And you know this how?" Spencer asked me.

"She made a comment the next day about how Jenna had it coming."

The girls were quiet for a moment before Aria spoke up again. "How is it that Ali told us nothing, but we told her everything?"

Emily hit the nail with the hammer with her comment, "Because she made us feel like we were a part of something special."

"We were." Hanna and I said in unison.

"I miss that," Aria sighed.

"Me too," Spencer agreed.

"I miss Ali," Emily told us.

Hanna glanced at Emily's wrist to wear her bracelet from Ali sat. "I can't believe you still wear that."

"Ali still wears her too," Emily defended. "Wore." She said quietly, realizing her mistake.

Spencer filled the gap of silence. "When Ali didn't come home that night, I knew something terrible must have happened, but there was always some part of me that imagined someday she'd just show up."

"Yeah. I used to think that maybe she'd just...Run off with some guy." Aria told what she wished for Ali.

"She was laying on a beach somewhere." Emily added wistfully, nodding along.

"Or getting a tan out by the pool with that hot lifeguard." Hanna laughed, making me giggle.

"Oh, yeah. What was his name?" Aria said smiling.

"Who cares?" I asked, laughing.

"Save me!" Hanna said dramatically, pretending to pass out in my arms, making us all giggle.

Next thing we knew, Jenna was tapping her way into The Grill. We glanced at each other before quietly making our escape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dad, I'm telling you, she slept with that detective!" I informed my father.

"Well, even if she did, she did it to save Hanna's ass. And let me tell you something, if you ever do anything illegal, I will kick your ass so hard, especially if you don't tell me." I thought of The Jenna Thing. Should I tell my dad the truth? Just then, my phone buzzed.

I pulled it out, looking at who it was from.

"Thinking about telling Daddy about Jenna? Might want to consider all the other beans you'd have to spill... starting with this one." The picture attached, was a picture of Noel and me hooking up in his car.

- A

Crap.

"Hello?" My dad called me. "Anybody home in there?" I snapped out of my gazed and looked

to him. I quickly put my phone away.

"Yeah, yeah. What were you saying Dad?"

"Who was that?" Crap.

"Just, just Spencer." I said quickly.

"Spencer? I thought you guys weren't friends anymore?" Dad asked, confused.

"We... We started talking again." I said absentmindedly like it was nothing.

"Okay." He said, suspicious of my behavior.

We turned to the morning news, where Detective Wilden was making a statement to the press. "The coroner did release his findings this morning, and although Alison Di Laurentis' body did show signs of a blunt-force head trauma, the cause of her death was suffocation." Dad shut the TV off.

"Enough of that. Is Noel picking you up today?" Dad questioned.

"No," I said absently. "He's got practice so Hanna is."

"Then why is she picking you up?" Dad asked, confused. "Lily! For God's sake put your phone away!"

"What?" I asked him, startled, looking up from my phone.

"Put the phone away and have a conversation with me."

"Okay."

"Well?" He asked, waiting for me to respond.

"Well, what?" I asked him, confused.

"Why is Hanna picking you up?"

"Oh, because Hanna doesn't do sports and Noel has early morning practice. Noel is bringing me home after school. That, and we have a biology test tomorrow, and I don't know anything that's going on in that class."

"I presume that's one of the five classes you have with Noel?"

"Yep, and while science is not his forte, he definitely knows more than me. And enough to help me."

"Okay," Dad nodded. "I work late tonight, so I'm going to see if Hanna and Ashley can come over."

"What?" I demanded. "Why?"

"Because I don't want you two home alone together." Dad said plainly.

"Dad!"

"What?"

"I thought we got over this."

"We did. Until I found out you were having sex."

"Dad!"

"Well, you are."

"I'm going to kill Hanna."

"I'm getting you birth control, one of us can pick it up tomorrow at the pharmacy. But until then, I don't trust you two alone."

"Oh my God, Dad."

"When you decided to have unprotected sex you lost my trust."

My phone buzzed.

I'm here

- Han

"Hanna's here." I snapped at my dad. "I'm leaving."

"I know that you're mad at me," Dad started to say.

"That's a freaking understatement."

"But I'm doing this because I love you."

"Ya know, maybe you should talk to Mrs. Marin again, and this time you can tell her that you took away my life." I slammed the door behind me and all but ran to Emily's car.

"You're being dramatic!" He yelled out the open window.

"Where do you think I get it from?" I yelled straight back at him.

"What's got you in a mood?" She asked as I got in, giving me her concerned look.

"You're mother."

"What?" She said, puzzled. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Just drive, before my dad takes any more of my life away."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After we got to school, I beelined straight to Noel, who was at my locker.

"We're going to study tonight, right?" He asked, hugging me.

"I'm going to try. Dad said we aren't allowed to be alone together." I sighed, still completely annoyed with the situation.

"Why? I thought we got past that months ago?"

"We did." I deadpanned. "But Hanna saw me ditch the other day and long story short, her mom told my dad and now my dad won't let us be alone together."

"That's," He started to say.

"Don't say it. Okay? Just, don't." I rubbed my forehead. "Let me talk to Hanna. Maybe we can do a study night at Sean's and we can slip away for a while, okay?"

Noel slid his hands into my back jeans pockets, thumbs close to my back. "If not, we can always skip health class again," He whispered in my ear. "Or history. Or even a whole day." between each sentence, he kissed me. When he finished, my hands were at the nape of his neck and I was breathless. I pulled him close to me and just as we started to kiss, the intercom interrupted us.

"Will the following students please come to the office : Emily Fields, Lily Grey, Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin." I groaned and pulled away from my boyfriend.

"Talk to Sean please." I begged him.

He nodded at me. "Promise."

"Okay, good!" I kissed him again, before Spencer grabbed my hand and dragged me away from Noel.

As we caught up with the other three, Aria's phone went off. "Wait, it's from - A."

Hanna looked over Aria's shoulder and read the text aloud. "Dead girls walking."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once we were all in the office, we were interrogated by Detective Wilden, who was easily becoming my least favorite human being.

"So let's see..." He said, looking at the file before pointing at Spencer. "You thought you heard her scream?"

"I - I said that, yeah."

"And when you four woke up in the barn, Alison was gone, and so was Spencer?" He asked the rest of us. I wiggled in my spot. I hated this. I squeezed closer to Hanna and Spencer.

"Yes, I woke up before them." Spencer saved us from having to talk. "And I realized that Ali was missing, so..." She trailed off.

"So you went looking for her." He filled in the blanks.

"That's what happened." Spencer said with a fake smile.

"I got that. So," He said, looking at us. "Was this a slumber party, or...?" I did not like this man. How on earth did he become a cop, much less a detective?"

"Is this an interrogation?" Spencer asked him.

"It feels like an interrogation," I mumbled to the girls.

"No, just a routine follow up. Why did you guys fall asleep?" He asked another question, making this really feel like an interrogation.

"I guess we were tired," Aria told him.

"Tired? Really." He didn't believe us. "Is that how you remember it? Hanna? Lily?"

"Yeah," We said in sync, quietly.

"Yeah, you guys were tired." He said in that same condescending tone as before, like we were lying about that night. But little did he know, we didn't lie about that night, just a different night.

"Look," Spencer said, trying her best to sound like her mom. In her defense, her mom was a lawyer. "We've told you everything we know, just like the night she went missing."

"I know, and you see, the thing is, it's almost exactly what you said last year -- almost like it was rehearsed." This man was getting on my every last nerve.

"Like Spencer said, we've told you everything we know." Aria added.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the cafeteria, we were all together again. "He knows we're lying." Aria stated the obvious.

"No shit, Aria. You should be a detective." I snapped at her.

"Lying is not a crime." Hanna said.

"It is when you're giving false statements to the police. It's called obstruction of justice."

"And it is a crime." I added as an afterthought to Spencer's statement.

"Oh please!" Hanna snapped. "We lied about drinking. But the truth that matters is we don't know anything about what happened to Ali that night." She, like me, was losing her temper. It was never good when the two of us lost our tempers about the same thing.

"We also know about someone who might have wanted to hurt her." Spencer told us.

"We should have told the police the truth about Jenna's accident the night it happened." Emily scolded, as if none of us had wanted to tell the police.

"We wanted to," Hanna explained, pointing between the two of us. "Remember?" I nodded in agreement. We did want to tell the police when it had happened, but Ali had talked us out of it.

"We had a chance to do more than just tell the truth. We had a chance to stop Ali." Aria revealed, as if we actually had a chance to stop Alison from doing anything she wanted to do.

"But we didn't." Spencer interrupted my thought. "And telling the police now about what happened to Jenna isn't going to make her see again. It'll just ruin our lives."

"Will it? If Jenna knows that we weren't involved and that we genuinely feel bad about what happened to her, it might make her less angry about the situation." I explained my thought process.

All of a sudden, we heard a cane tapping on the floor. Jenna. Aria stood up and walked over to Jenna.

"Jenna?" Aria asked her. "It's - it's Aria. Do you.." She tried to find her words. "Want to come sit with us?" I glanced across the table to Hanna with a WTF look.

"Sure."

"So you're gonna be between Hanna and Emily. Spencer and Lily are right across from you."

"Thank you." Jenna told her. "So... This would be Alison's chair, right?" She sat down and Spencer nudged me.

I cleared my throat. "No," Emily said. "We're not even sitting at that table."

"We don't sit there anymore." I commented.

"You know, she came to visit me in the hospital after the accident." I looked down at my lunch. I knew that. Alison told me after the fact that she went to see Jenna. That was another reason why I thought that Alison didn't care why Jenna was in that garage that night.

"Alison did?" Spencer asked, confused. I glanced at Spencer before looking down again. Hanna kicked my foot from under the table. I looked up at her and gave a small smile.

"Mm-hm," She hummed. "Everyone misunderstood Alison, but I knew exactly who she was." That was weird. Why would she say something like that to Alison's best friends? Nobody would know her better than us.

Spencer changed the topic away from Alison and back to Jenna. "When did you get back Jenna? We heard that you were in Philadelphia, a school for the... visually impaired."

"You can say blind Spencer." She laughed a little. "It's not a dirty word." Que the awkward silence. I locked eyes with Emily and she bit her lip. "Wow. It's so quiet. You guys used to be the fun table. What happened to you girls?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

flashback

We were in Emily's bedroom, clothes were everywhere. We were having a fashion show. We were giggling, having fun. Not a care in the world.

"I see you!" Alison yelled, making us all stop. "Oh my God, I can't believe it." She raked the curtain close to her bedroom.

"Who was it Ali?" Emily asked her. "What did you see?"

"He was in that tree, spying on us! I'm so creeped out!"

"Who was it?" Spencer prodded her to tell us the name.

"It was that perv, Toby Cavanaugh."

"Are you sure?" Aria asked, wanting to confirm who it was before we did anything.

"Yeah, Alison. Are you sure it wasn't just a shadow from the tree?" I asked. I really didn't want to ruin anybody's life, if she didn't know who it was.

"Yes, I'm sure!" She said getting angry. "He was right there! I bet he saw all of us naked." Okay, ew. I didn't want anybody to see me naked.

"Should we tell someone?" Aria asked. We were all wondering what we should do next.

"I mean, we could. But I have a better idea." She smirked, devising a plan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fireworks were blasting. Everybody was having fun. Nobody noticed the six girls sneaking around, planning an awful prank.

"Are we sure he's not in there?" Aria asked for the millionth time.

"He's not, okay?" Alison soothed. "You've got the lighter, right Spencer?"

"Let's wait a second." Emily pleaded.

"What, Emily?" Alison asked her, exasperated.

"I don't want to do this."

"Fine. Go back. You're on your own." Once Alison got an idea in her head, she went through with it. The consequences didn't matter. And it was up to us to fall in line, or get out. There was no in between.

"Okay, maybe Emily's right. We should just call the cops. They'll take care of it." Aria chimed back in.

"Where's the fun in that?" Alison questioned us. "Girls, Toby Cavanaugh is a freak, and we need to teach him a lesson. If he thinks he can come and spy on us while we're in your bedroom, Emily, he needs to know that his little domain is no longer a safe little hideout. Who knows what he does in there all day?" She asked rhetorically. "That little freak."

"Are you sure it was Toby?" Spencer asked one last time, wanting to make sure it was him before we did anything.

"Ali, are you sure? Because this has consequences, if it ever gets out."

"Yes! And it's a stink bomb, for God's sakes, Lily. We're not nuking the place. Now, let's do it. Give me the lighter." Spencer hands Alison the lighter and I sank back next to Hanna.

"I don't like this." I told her quietly.

"I don't either." She agreed with me.

Alison threw something in Toby's garage and whatever she threw in there, it exploded. Alison ran back to us.

"Ali, what did you do?" Spencer demanded.

"Come on, let's get out of here." She told us.

"Let's go," We all said and ran off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our phones all rang at the same time and I took a deep breath. None of us moved to look at the message until Jenna said, "Aren't you gonna get that?"

If only she could see how guilty you look

- A

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After that, we all made our way to English.

"Okay, people, let's take our seats." Mr. Fitz told everybody. Noel slid off the top of my desk and into the one next to me. Mona walked in, texting on her phone.

"Am I late?" She asked, dumbly. Why she acted dumb all the time was beyond me. She use to be neck and neck with Spencer before she became popular. She might even be smarter than Spencer, she just dumbs herself down.

"It's - it's Mona right?" Mr. Fitz asked her.

"That's right, Mr. Fritz." All of us laughed a little. "What?" She asked all of us.

"Take our seat, Mona. Please." Mona sat down next to Hanna, who was in front of me.

"It's Fitz, not Fritz." Hanna told Mona.

She gave her a coy smile. "Oops." I rolled my eyes before smiling over at my boyfriend, who was already staring at me.

"If the mockingbird represents the idea of innocence, what characters are innocent? Take a second. Jot down your ideas. We'll discuss."

I opened my notebook and jotted down:

Boo Radley was innocent, as well as Tom Robinson. Tom was innocent because his arm was too short to reach the woman. Boo was innocent. We see his kind nature similar, which is similar to the innocence of a mockingbird.

I was brought out of my thoughts when Aria entered the classroom. She set down a paper on Mr. Fitz's desk and they stared at each other for a couple moments.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, I'm sorry it's not going to work for you guys to come over tonight." Hanna told me by my locker as I got my stuff out.

"It's fine." I said, shoving my English and Health binders in and grabbing my Geometry textbook and binder, as well as my biology. "It's my fault. I should have been using protection from the beginning. Your mom did the right thing. It just sucks because it took my dad so long to accept Noel and now I feel like I'm back at square one."

Hanna sighed. "It's hard because your dad thinks of Noel as the guy he was before he started dating you. Noel has really changed in the last year. I think you guys are good for each other."

I smiled bashfully. I looked at the photo in my locker of the two of us from homecoming last year. I was smiling wide, wearing Noel's hat backwards and away jersey, while was in his home jersey. He was smiling widely at the camera. My arms were around his neck and I was perched on his back. "He makes me happy, Han. And not just like, I have a boyfriend and I'm so happy, happy. But in like the, I see his name on my phone and smile, you say his name and I smile. I walk into a room and I look for him, even if I know he's not going to be in the room."

"That's so sweet." Hanna gushed. "Like a sweet Hallmark movie." I pushed the hair out of my face, smiling, before I zipped up my backpack.

"Let's go to Geometry before I embarrass myself even more." I said, closing my locker and spinning the lock.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I feel like I'm doing life wrong." Emily sighed, getting in step with me after math was over.

"We all feel that way from time to time, Em." I told her as we made our way to history.

"No, like midlife crisis." Ah. Well, she's got to come to terms with what she feels.

I linked my arm with hers. "Well, whenever you need to talk, I'm always here for you. Nothing will ever change that, okay?"

"Nothing?" She asked, a scared look on my face. She searched my face, almost if she's convinced she'll find me lying.

"Nothing. You're stuck with me Emily Fields."

"Well, that's a risk I'm willing to take." She laughed at me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Dad," I told him when he picked up the phone.

"Hey, Bug." He responded. Tired.

"Is it okay if we study at the library tonight? Hanna said that she and her mom are busy tonight and can't come over. I really need to study for this Biology test and I have no idea what's happening."

"How is it that you are horrible at science, but I'm a surgeon?"

"That is the million dollar question that I would like answered." I smiled a bit. "Is it okay if we go?"

"Yeah, just be home by 9 okay? I have something I need to talk to you about."

"Is everything okay?" I asked, nervously.

"Yeah, yeah, it's fine," He said distractedly. "I'll see you when you get home."

"Okay, bye Dad. Love you."

"Love you too, Bug."

"Okay, that was weird." I said putting my phone away.

"What was weird?" Noel asked, turning to look at me.

"Dad sounded off, like he was exhausted."

"He's a surgeon." Noel said, matter of fact.

"Well, yeah," I rolled my eyes. "But he sounded more distant than normal. Like he wanted to talk about something. I have to be home at 9 because he needs to talk to me."

"I'm sure it's nothing." He promised me. "Now, let's go to the library and make out in the car."

I smiled at him. "I have to study for biology. I truly have no idea what's going on."

"So, we make out for a while, study, and then make out some more?"

"Well, we could do that... or we could study for a bit at the cabin and then..." I trailed off, grinning at him with a knowing smirk.

"But your dad..." he stuttered. I raised my eyebrow at him. "Cabin it is."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Noel dropped me off at home around 8:50. He promised that tomorrow he would pick me up for school.

I unlocked the front door and went into the house. Dad was in the living room, which wasn't surprising. What was surprising was my brother sitting there with him.

"Justin ... hi." I said, confused. He glanced at me, and then back at dad.

"Hi, Lily."

"Dad?" I questioned, wanting an explanation. I hadn't seen Justin since Alison went missing.

"Justin is back." He said pointedly.

"I can see that." I retorted. "Why?"

"Don't be rude." My dad snapped at me and I rolled my eyes.

"It's okay Dad." Justin told him. I glanced between the two of them.

"Justin is back from Uncle Ben's." My dad told me.

"Okay." I said reluctantly.

"And he's going to be staying here."

"Oh." I turned and looked at Justin. "Well, welcome home, I guess."

"Lily." Justin said quietly.

"I'm not going to... I can't do this tonight, okay? Dad, did you go to the pharmacy?"

"Yeah, your medicine is on the table in a bag. The instructions are in there too."

"Okay," I nodded. "Thank you." I grabbed my stuff from the kitchen before going up to my room. I closed the door and sat my stuff down. I took a deep breath before pulling out my phone and texting the girls.

Justin's home.

- LG

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

flashback

We were all laughing.

"I got you guys something," Alison told us. She gave each of us a little package.

"What's the occasion?" Spencer asked.

"You'll see," She smiles at us. "Open 'em!" She encouraged.

"We'll be friends forever. Can you put mine on for me, Em?" She asked Emily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hanna was the first to respond to me, which was no shock.

Why?? I thought he left after Ali disappeared.

- Han

He did, and I'm not sure why he's back. He's gotta be up to something. He always is.

- LG

It's a little suspicious. Do you think he wants something?

- Em

Probably. He always does.

- LG

Maybe he and Mike can reconnect? They could help each other.

- Aria

Hopefully. They were always close before Justin left.

- LG

Is Mike still playing lacrosse?

- LG

Yeah, he is. I'll tell Mike he's back and we can go from there.

- Aria

Thanks, Aria. Hopefully he's not back for all the wrong reasons. I also hope that his time in Radley and then at my Uncle's was good for him.

- LG

Oh man, well, if he doesn't join lacrosse, maybe he can do a different sport.

- Spence

Thanks for the support guys. Guess I better go see what's next.

- LG

We love you Lily!

- Em

I love her the most! Lanna forever! <3

- Han

Love you Hanna Banana! <3

- LG

Hanna and Lily's love for each other > their love for us

- Aria

Lol! So true! We're all chopped liver to them.

- Em

You're just jealous!

- LG

Jealous of your love for Hanna? Always.

- Spence

I love you all more than you'll ever know!

- LG

After I finished texting with the girls, I cracked my neck and went to find Justin. But before I left my room, I got a text.

Hmmm... Your brother's back in town... what does that usually mean? Don't fall back to old habits.

- A

I sighed. This was great. Just great.

I played V's After Ending again... Don't know how many times I've come back to Mystic Messenger just for more suffering. I can never escape from this angst hell, sigh. OTL

People weren't kidding when they said the Forgive End is really easy to get. 3 years ago I got it without relying on guide, 3 years later I still get stuck in it... Gosh I tried to be hostile to Rika as much as possible but I messed up JUST because I chose the choices that express concern for the Choi twins. I hate that in order to get the Judge End, you'll need to be a bitch with V (burn his letters, suspect V of rescuing Rika, talk about burning his possessions one by one if he doesn't come back in a year...), ignore the members' mental health, i.e. don't ask about Saeran, don't worry for Saeyoung, don't comfort Yoosung... In other words, don't be a freaking normal human being and just seething with anger. This is no difference from Rika, and that's not what I wanted. Why is it so hard to throw her to jail?

What funny is that I remembered choosing a lot of "harsh" options about Rika in my first playthrough, such as: interrupting her self-pity party, expressing the desire to bring her to court, i.e. refusing to be guilt tripped, which should lead to Jugde End, but the game still decided I would forgive her...? Wth I never knew I was such an angel to Rika? :) And this time in the first episode, I only got 6 or 7 choices 'wrong'. Why am I still end up forgiving her? OTL I know that each episode is short, it's not a whole day so every choice counts, but isn't this proves how much Cheritz wants us to forgive Rika? Some of the choices that lead to Judge End - which is treated as bad end - was like: 'She’s not wandering about our sight to make us feel sorry for her and forgive her, is she? '; 'That’s right. Some people need stop doing wrong things unless they’re properly judged.'; 'That’s nothing compared to what she’s done.'; 'All of those bad things happened because of Rika.'; 'I wish we could get rid of her quickly and return to our happy lives.'; 'Couldn’t you tell us sooner? ' (About Saeran might be alive); 'Don’t stand there crying. This is all because of you.'; 'You’ve already chosen to be a parent. You have no excuse to make up excuses.'; 'Wherever he is, he’ll never get to see you again.' Cheritz please reminds me why are they bad again? =.= These options speak nothing but the truth in my eyes.

And I notice even though sometimes there are more than 2 options, but according to the guide I read, the third option (or even fourth?) is lean towards either judge or forgive (with more than half of it goes to 'forgive'), it's not truly neutral. I would have love a third ending where you get to yell at Rika for being a bitch like she is, then have the option to forgive her and she still gets her redemption arc in jail heh. _(:3」∠)_ Cuz rather than Judge and Forgive, it's more like Cheritz wants to slap us with the label "Blame or Forget". =.=

Anyway, I think I gotta farm some HGs and reset this After Ending, cause I'm starting to like the Judge End more and can't stand having this Episode 1 remain as 'forgive'. I already gave up the idea of romancing V after his route, only wanted to stay friends with him, so I can't be bothered even if MC and V don't get married in Judge End. Not to mention the child that came out of nowhere, I didn't even turn 20 when his AE came out, for crying out loud! Even if there's a 5 years time skip, MC having a child is still a bit too much for me.

#mystic messenger #v after ending #jihyun kim #mystic messenger spoilers #V you're a good man but I just wanna be your bff lol #after all that I'm too traumatized to love you #the only one I love is Saeyoung #I had a crush on V and thought it was love #turned out it was just me wanting to free him from the snek #now that it's done let's go back to being acquaintances lol #I really want you to be happy tho

My apologies for the late reply but I have been busy most of today.

While this is partially true with the Moffat era, it's also fairly common throughout much of the modern and classic eras (albeit less so in the classic era due to the lack of a online fandom where ideas could be discussed with relative ease).

The Ninth Doctor's era was considered decent but unnessecary for new viewers to watch for a good decade. There's a reason that the "don't skip Nine" phrase became such a meme on Tumblr in the late 2010s, because so many people were recommending that new fans skip the era that fans of Nine got understandably sick of it. Like I said, a reappraisal happened as time went on. Ten is basically the only modern Doctor incarnation that this hasn't happened to nearly as much, but even Ten's era had a sizeable portion of the fanbase insisting that it was the worst era of the show ever.

In the classic era, while it was less common due to (until the advent of home video in the 1980s) a lack of re-watching of episodes, there were eras that were regarded initially as lacklustre before becoming seen as some of the best eras of the show. I'm thinking especially of the Second Doctor's era (which was considered by some fans at the time as less impressive compared to the First Doctor's era due to Two's more comedic character) and the Fourth Doctor's era (which was also considered a step down due to Four being very whimsical compared to Three, and with certain sub-eras within that era being considered too violent and scary for younger audiences). The same thing happened in the eighties, with many fans feeling frustrated with John Nathan-Turner's time as producer of the show during that decade. Like I've explained, every era and incarnation goes through periods where it is considered "bad" or "lacklustre" compared to its predeccesor, before being reappraised later on and being reviewed on its own merits.

Now, I personally didn't like a lot of the Moffat era, but I recognise that has more to do with a personal dislike for the way Moffat wrote the show than as a sign that the whole era was objectively bad. There are many episodes within that era that I enjoyed. Just because I have my own biases when it comes to certain Doctor Who eras, that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy each one on its own merits. Having watched the vast majority of Doctor Who, I've grown to appreciate the differences in how each era operates and what each sets out to achieve.

I'm not "defending" the Chibnall era; it has its issues, just as much as any other era of the show does. I made the original post because I think it's unfair to judge one era of the show by the standards of another. It would be like judging "An Unearthly Child" (the very first Doctor Who story) by the standards of -say- "Earthshock" (the second-to-last story of season 19).

That doesn't mean that I agree with everything in the Chibnall era; far from it, I personally think the thesis of "Kerblam!" was rather muddled, since the point of the episode is supposedly about AI but most people ended up seeing it as being about Amazon and late-stage capitalism. And, obviously, that stuff from "Spyfall Part 2" wasn't thought out and does leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Every era of Doctor Who is going to have things in it that either are not thought out properly or age badly very quickly. "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" was considered racist and distasteful even at the time it was broadcast during the Fourth Doctors era. The way Tegan, Nyssa and Peri were objectified during the eighties was unpleasant and troubling, to say the least. The first RTD era had significant issues when it came to how Martha Jones and other characters from minority backgrounds were treated. The Moffat era had significant issues with misogyny and the treatment of female characters throughout.

I'm confused by what you mean by "centre-right libs". I'm given to understand that "liberals" tend to be more of centre-left in American politics. Now, if you are British, you'll probably know this already (in which case you'll have to forgive me for the explanation), but our political system tends to be slighly further leftwards. We do have a Liberal-Democratic strain of politics, but they tend to more centre-left and are considered a distant third party compared to the broadly left-wing Labour Party and broadly right wing Conservative Party. While I would say that Moffat is more right-wing at times (especially so when regarding his treatment of women), from what I can gather, no-one seems to be able to agree on the political undercurrents of Chibnall's work; some people regard him as being very progressive (given that he had more writers from minority backgrounds in his writing team than both RTD and Moffat combined, and included many queer characters throughout the era) whilst others regard him as rather conservative. Personally, I'd regard as centre-left (by the sounds of it, he took the criticism from "Spyfall part 2" on-board and worked hard to correct that in series 13).

Looking at the era objectively, what I can say is that the Chibnall era was an era of Doctor Who, and that it was liked by some people and disliked by other people. Any other statement would be subjective.

My original post was more about how the Chibnall era was seen by some people as very serious despite having plenty of fun moments. My apologies if that wasn't clear.

Please be considerate that I don't particularly enjoy discourse; I made the original post as a joke and it wasn't intended to upset or offend anyone.

Some people online: So glad to see Doctor Who being fun and campy again! This previous era was too serious!

The previous era:

#reblog #discourse #long post #not everyone is going to enjoy every era of this show and that's fine #i don't want to keep arguing back and forth so i'll just leave this here #i suppose we'll have to agree-to-disagree

Star Wars 101 (Ch. 2) Episode IV - A New Hope

Masterlist

Gender: Female

Pairing: Peter Parker x reader

Wow, I didn't realize how much I'd written until I hit the tumblr limit. Hope you like it! Comment your thoughts!

Chapter Summary: Steve just wants to do his job, the avengers are the best wingmen, Scott doesn't like porn, and [y/n] thinks all nerds are freaky

~~~

sci-fi boi: okay which cartoon rivalry was better?? Popeye the sailor man and Bluto or Tom and Jerry?

crackhead [y/n]: dude.

crackhead [y/n]: how is that even a question??? Obviously Tom and Jerry lol

sci-fi boi: explanation pls

crackhead [y/n]: popeye and bluto were always fighting over that girl olive and some other stupid crap but with my two furry buddies it was no talk pete no discussions just murder attempts ON SIGHT. Tell me they don't go harder than any other rivalry

sci-fi boi: haha truuuu

~~~

"Are we boring you, Queens?"

Peter's head snapped up quickly, discreetly turning his phone off underneath the meeting table. "Um-huh? No no no, Mr. Rogers I'm listening. Sorry."

Steve shook his head and continued to speak as he pointed to the pictures on the screen at the end of the room. All of the Avengers of Earth were there, some half asleep, while the others either joked or listened intently.

In two short days, they were going to be taking back powerful tech that Martin Li(aka: Mr. Negative)'s "demons" had stolen from Stark Industries. A simple "get in and get out".

They'd known this plan for some days now, yet Steve insisted on calling meetings to go over it again and again.

Feeling a quick vibration go off in his hand, Peter instinctively looked back down at his phone to see a snapchat text notification from you.

~~~

crackhead [y/n]: According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible🐝...

~~~

Peter shook his head slightly as he chuckled, a smile shamelessly creeping onto his face.

~~~

sci-fi boi: did you really just quote the bee movie at me???😂😂

~~~

"Hey spidey-boy, would you mind sharing to the class what's so hilarious?" Rhodey's voice rang out loud and clear from across the table.

Quick as lightning, Peter turned his phone off and buried it in between his thighs, realizing that he hadn't been as quiet as he'd thought. To his luck, everyone’s eyes were trained on him now.

“It's n-nothing!” Peter squeaked, his voice breaking embarassingly. He shoved his phone into his pocket in fear of someone snatching it from him.

Natasha rolled her eyes and smirked. "So what're you looking at down there?"

"I-i, uh, I was just um, w-watching a funny- very funny video actually-"

"C'mon guys!," Sam laughed, clapping his hands together. "Don't tease the kid. We all know what he was smiling at down there!"

At that, Peter practically choked. "WHAT?!"

Tony snickered. "Personally, I don't think two inches is something to be proud of, but alright."

Peter's eyes widen, nearly falling out of his skull by the looks of it. "I-it's not two inches a-and I wasn't looking at-!"

"Jesus christ, guys..." Bruce sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "He was obviously just doing something on his phone. Leave the poor guy alone."

Peter coughed as he saw Steve glare at him with that infamous 'Im Captain America and Im judging you' glare. Phones weren't allowed in the meeting room. Well, they weren't supposed to be. No one ever really followed that rule except Peter. But he'd already been so deep in his conversation with you that he just couldn't put his phone down. "No no, um, I wasn't.. I was just zoning out, y'know, and I just happened to be looking-"

"-at your phone?," Steve cut in to ask.

"-at your dick," Rhodey stated at the same time.

"-at porn," Tony said with an all-knowing smile, causing everyone at the table to turn towards either him or Peter, whose face was beet red with embarrassment.

"Peter please tell us you weren't watching porn," Scott begged, his jaw completely dropped. "I mean, no judgment but-"

"Full judgement, actually," Clint corrected, an extremely disturbed look on his face. "Seriously, what were you doing, kid? You gotta tell us now with all these assumptions being thrown around."

"Curious," Thor stated, leaning back in his chair. "What is porn?"

"Something that I definitely WAS NOT watching!," Peter responded as he practically slammed his face into the table and slapped his hands over his eyes. "Does it even matter what I was doing anyway?," he mumbled into the table.

Natasha raised an eyebrow, blowing the smoke off of her coffee. "People usually aren't this defensive when they're telling the truth, Peter."

Peter shrunk into his seat with a loud groan. Can I die. Can I please just die. Like why am I seriously even alive right now??? Some bad guy please just burst through the door and maim me please.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y. pull up Parker's phone," Tony commanded once the commotion in the room died down.

Peter quickly lifted his head. "Wait, what?!"

"Accessing Peter Parker's mobile device, sir," F.R.I.D.A.Y. responded. "Would you like for me to transfer the screen to the meeting board?"

Tony looked back with a laugh to see a frozen, slack-jawed Peter. He turned back around. "Yeah sure, F.R.I.D.A.Y., what the heck let's have fun."

"No wait- are you seriously hacking into my phone right now?!"

"Well why're you so tense, Parker?," Sam asked teasingly. "Thought you had nothing to hide?"

"I-i don't!," he stammered. "I-it's just..." he trailed off, looking for the right words to say. "..that's my private property," he said lamely while staring at the wall.

Tony stared back at him. "Well that's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard." He pointed towards the board. "Alright it's coming up."

Scott closed his eyes. "Oh God, please don't be porn.."

Peter rolled his eyes. Everyone else looked to the large board, fully expecting to see either porn or just some stupid game the boy had been playing.

But none of them expected him to be texting a girl.

~~~

crackhead [y/n]: hey u still there?

~~~

"Who's crackhead [Y/N]?," Natasha asked.

Scott turned to Rhodes who was sitting on the side of him. "Is that some trashy porn star?," he whispered.

"Why're you asking me like I know?"

"It's this girl from school.." Peter answered, blushing profusely.

"And you like her," Natasha noted, watching his body language intently.

The boy's eyes widened. "N-no I don't!"

"Why crackhead though?," Rhodey asked, crinkling his nose.

Peter shrugged. "That's what she wanted her name to be," here responded. "Thought it was funny."

Steve rolled his eyes. "Just like you thought 'sci-fi boi' was funny?" Shaking his head, he changed focused. "Guys, are we gonna get back to work or not?"

"Not," Tony answered as he scrolled up all the way to the beginning of the messages from early that morning. "So, you've been texting this girl today off and on since..." He checked the time. "Five in the morning?"

Clint chuckled. "Oh yeah, huge crush."

“No!” Peter protested, his voice an octave too high. Realizing that it isn’t working, he decided to try a different technique. Clearing his throat, he tried to sound and act as nonchalant as possible. “She’s just a friend from school.”

"She's first on your best friends list, even over that computer kid you practically live with. And you and her practically snap each other nonstop."

Peter scratched his nose. "W-well that's only cuz Ned doesn't like to text much."

Bruce took his glasses off and sighed, realizing there was no way this meeting was getting back on topic. "Look Pete," he said. "Friends don't do that. I've seen it all before. If you and this girl are talking on a daily basis all throughout the day starting at five in the morning?" He titled his head in a suggestive way, though Peter stared back at him blankly.

"What?," Peter asked.

"Oh my God, kid," Bruce sighed.

Tony held his head back and laughed. "It means either she likes you and your just too dense, you like her but won't admit it and she's just concerningly nice, or you both like each other and just won't make your moves!"

Sam, who hadn't lifted his eyes from the board the entire time, spoke up. "And judging by these texts, you already got her, it's just not official yet."

Tony kept scrolling. "You two went to winter formal together?"

"Yeah... but as friends," Peter said with a shrug.

Steve cleared his throat loudly, gaining the attention of everyone in the room at once. He looked at Peter who was doing everything here could not to look him in the eye. "Look, as much as I would love to talk about Peter's sad love life, we have a mission-"

"-that will still be there tomorrow, Cap," Bucky finished for him. "C'mon we've been going over this stuff for hours. Let us have this distraction."

Everyone looked to him, Tony feigning a puppy dog expression. Crossing his arms, he left the room. "Fine, but when someone gets hurt because they didn't know where they were supposed to go, don't blame me."

"...literally no one's ever blaming you, man," Sam said.

Suddenly, the screen lit up and F.R.I.D.A.Y. spoke. "Sir, Peter Parker has a new message."

Everyone looked to the board. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Scroll down, Mr. Stark. Scroll down!," Peter yelled frantically. "What's she saying?"

Natasha smirked. "And you're sure you don't like her, Peter?"

His face flushed. "Okay fine...I might have a tiny crush-"

"I'm sorry I can't hear you," Tony cut in. "Can you say that agai-"

"-I SAID YEAH I REALLY LIKE THIS GIRL!," Peter finally yelled with his eyes squeezed shut. He kept them closed for about twenty seconds afterwards, afraid of the judging faces he would see if he opened them.

He carefully opened his eyes to see all of the avengers (minus Cap) staring back at him with stupid smiles and smirks on their faces.

"Well, that's all I needed to hear," Tony said. He clapped his hands together. "Okay everybody, first order of business, checking the text. Sam, you're our reader."

"Got it."

"What?," Peter yelled, reaching for his phone. Tony dodged him and gave it to Sam. "Mr. Stark, I can text a girl on my own. I don't need help."

"Nat, you're our timer. Make sure none of the responses take longer than a minute. We don't want the girl to get bored and go on to something else."

"Check."

"Mr. Stark, c'mon-"

"Sam, you explain stuff to lightning head over here if he doesn't understand it. This could be learning moment for ole Shakespeare. Thor, you listen to Sam."

"Right."

"On it."

"Everyone else, you're with me. We gotta find the perfect thing to say to this girl. I've got a feeling this is probably the only chance he's gonna have to get a girl in a long time."

Rhodes, Scott, Clint, Bruce, and Wanda looked to each other and nodded.

"And Pete?"

Peter raised his head. "Yes sir?"

"You know this girl more than anybody here does, so you tell us if what we say is appropriate for her or not."

Peter rolled his eyes and nodded. After all, what's the worst that can happen?

Tony pointed to Sam. "Okay, read it."

~~~

crackhead [y/n]: u going to flash's party on saturday??

~~~

"She wants to know if the kid's going to some party Saturday."

Tony turned to the boy. "You're going," her demanded.

Flash was the most popular douchebag in school. Totally rich and totally rude and totally determined to use his every breath to spite Peter. "I wasn't even invited," Peter mumbled, shooting a glare towards Sam when he heard him laughing.

"Well get invited," Tony ordered. "A party is the perfect place to make a move. Send yes."

~~~

sci-fi boi: yes

~~~

"Mr. Stark, how am I supposed to get into this party? Flash hates me! And if I crash it and Flash sees me, he's gonna make sure everyone thinks I'm a loser!"

Tony rolled his eyes and sighed. "Peter we're trying to help you here. Figure that part out on your own."

Peter sighed, leaning forward in his chair. The last thing he wanted was another assignment, even if it wasn't actually an assignment. On the plus side, he'd get to see you, and maybe have some fun if he actually tried to enjoy himself.

~~~

crackhead [y/n]: cool so i guess ill go too

Rhodey chuckled while shaking his head. "Kid, if you don't ask this chick out the second you see her again, I'm gonna bodyslam you."

Peter frowned. "What do you mean?"

Bruce smiled. "Whether or not she went to the party was depending on if you were going," he pointed out.

"This girl used to be like that with me back in college," Scott said with a shrug. "Thought she liked me. Turned out she just had social anxiety..."

"Yeah you're really not helping this, bugman," Tony said.

"Wait, you guys think [Y/N] actually likes me back?," Peter asked, getting groans and laughs in return.

"Where have you been the last few minutes?," Natasha said.

"We've literally been saying that this entire time," Sam deadpanned.

Peter stared at his feet below the table. If the team was right, and you did actually like him back, then the movie marathon he was planning was the perfect excuse to hang out with you. "I-i think I might have a plan!," he rushed out, his head flying up. He pointed to Sam. "Ask her if she's free tonight!"

"Yes!," Thor yelled, his fists pumped into the air. "The spider child has grown his man balls!"

"Now that's what I'm talking about." Sam nodded approvingly as he texted.

~~~

sci-fi: r u free tonight??😉

~~~

"Wait hold on," Peter said, suddenly rushing towards the phone in a frantic manner. "Why is there a winking emoji?! I didn't say anything about a winking emoji!"

Sam raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were flirti-"

Peter groaned. "Delete it, man. Delete it before her bitmoji pops up!"

"Okay okay, dang kid," Sam chuckled, quickly deleting the text and replacing it with one without a winking emoji. "There. And ya girl didn't even see it."

"Hey guys," Scott said. "I know we're all freaking out and stuff. But honestly, I'm just glad he wasn't watching porn." He shrugged. "So no matter what happens with this girl, today's still an absolute win."

It went on like this for a solid thirty minutes.

~~~

crackhead [y/n]: yeah wassup

sci-fi boi: wanna come over and watch movies?

crackhead [y/n]: sure what're we watching

sci-fi boi: we can decide that when u get here. how about 4??

crackhead [y/n]: alright sure

~~~

"Okay, last thing," Tony said. "We need a sly compliment. Something not that special about her, but enough to show her that you're tuned in. Gets them every time, trust me."

Natasha rolled her eyes. "Wow, lady-killer."

Tony pointed towards her and shrugged. "She said it, not me."

Thor looked to Peter. "So, young spider. What have you observed about your darling love?"

Peter blushed, almost wanting to comment on the Thor's word choice but ultimately deciding not to. "Well, um, her eyes light up a lot when she gets excited and it's really dorky in a cute kind of way I guess," he mumbled, scratching his head.

"Alright I got it," Sam said, typing the words in. He lifted his shoulders into a shrug. "Who knows, kid? There be some hope for you."

~~~

sci-fi boi: btw how do you get ur eyes to sparkle so bright when u get happy about stuff? Just thinking about it lol its cute

~~~

Peter blew out a shaky breath as he looked back over the set-up he'd made in the living room.

He'd cleared out space to build a super huge homemade blanket fort and inside it at the end was his tv. Towards the middle were all of pillows he could find inside the house and at the other end were snacks. All around the inside were fairy lights because he knew you liked them, though personally he found them cliche.

He spent about an hour on the whole set and an additional thirty minutes stressing over and making sure everything was safe (with all three fairy lights and tv cords). The last thing he needed was for the both of you to catch on fire while watching the movie.

The two of you were going to be watching Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (or as normal 'not-nerds' like to call it, "the first one"). Of course, he hadn't told the team that. If they'd known what movie he'd planned on showing her, high chances are they wouldn't have even let him out of Avengers tower. But if Peter was gonna be forced to hang out with someone (not that he was really complaining), he would at least pick the film.

Finally checking all the boxes in his head for the night, Peter went to go check the DVD before he heard your knock at the door.

"Coming!," he yelled, quickly chucking the disc into the DVD player. He ran to the door and opened it with an awkward smile. "Uh, hey [Y/N]."

"Hey," you said back, already sort of blushing. "How's it going?"

Peter stared. Are your eyebrows done or are they just naturally that nice? He found his voice after abruptly noticing that he was staring. "Uh-well. It's been going great! How's it going for y-you also as well?" He frowned. "I-i mean, what's been going on with your life lately? No, that's dumb. I meant-"

"Peter, Peter! Calm down, dude," you giggled. "I've been fine."

"Oh," he chuckled. "That's good... d-do you wanna come in?"

"Question. What're we watching, Peter?," you asked, a smile playing on your face. Considering what you remembered from the last time you were at his house, and the fort you could get a peek of from the doorframe, you figured it was special for the nerdy boy. Plus his shirt had Yoda on it.

Freakin' Star Wars.

Immediately, a wide grin spread across his face. "Remember what you promised me we'd watch?"

You rolled your eyes, stepping past him into his living room. "Yeah yeah, whatever. Time to get nerdy I guess."

"Come on, you'll love it,"Peter said, quickly closing the door behind them and then briskly running towards the fort to hold up the side blankets for you. "So, snacks and drinks are beside us. We'll chill on these blankets here. And...um, yeah. That's about it." After stepping outside for a bit to go turn off the lights(for the full "movie theater" experience), Peter laid down on his belly, reaching for the DVD player to press play.

You watched as he fumbled with the wires, making sure the DVD player was plugged in before turning it on. Has your jawline always been that sharp?

You couldn't quite place it, but his texts from before seemed.. weird. But not a bad weird at all. A good, intriguing weird.

And that compliment was pretty nice, but odd for Peter. Sure, he complimented you often, but it just felt different this time. Usually it'd be something like, "new dress?" or "nice shoes". But never "you're eyes sparkle when you get excited." Heck, you didn't even know that about you. Was he paying attention? Did that mean he-

You remember how he acted about Liz Allen and Michelle Jones. Always staring. Never able to even say a full sentence in front of them without stuttering up a storm.

But he was so comfortable about you for the most part. You were just a friend.

"Okay got it," Peter said, laughing excitedly as the screen in front of him lit up. He scooted back to where you were sat. "Prepare to have your mind blown."

The Fort quickly became dark as the Lucasfilm logo shined on the screen.

"I seriously dou-"

"Shhh!," he cut you off. "Wait for it..."

You gave him a look but joined him in his silence to see what he was waiting for.

BUMMMMM buh buh bummmm

Practically jumping on top of him, you flinched at the loud and sudden music. "Crap dude! Turn it down!"

Peter shook his head, reaching for a soda. "You have to get the full effect, [Y/N]!," he laughed. "Just embrace it." He began to sing with the music and mime crazy gestures as if he were directing an orchestra.

Duh duh duh DUH DUHHHHHHHH

Halfway through he stopped and recited the opening crawl, his eyes glued to the screen with a sort of focus that made you sure that not only was this not foreign to him, he probably did this every other week.

"It is a period of civil war," he mumbled, throwing some popcorn into his mouth. "Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic- [Y/N] you have to watch the words, I swear it'll make the whole experience better." It went on for a little while longer until he paused the movie and looked over at you, cowering a bit. "D-do I have something on my face?"

"Huh? Nah you're good," you said, realizing he'd noticed you staring. "It's just-" you remembered his text from earlier. "-you got really excited... It-um..it was cute."

Because of the darkness(the only lighting being from the tv), you couldn't see if Peter blushed or not, but you could clearly see the stupid grin plastered on his face that he was trying to hide from you with his hand. Repeatedly licking his lips as a desperate attempt to stop smiling as he pressed play on the remote control. "A-ah, um, thanks [Y/N]."

The opening crawl was over and soon the movie actually began, showing a huge spaceship.

"That's the imperial star destroyer," Peter whispered, never taking his eyes off the screen. "They belong to the empire." He saw your blank expression, wide eyes as he realized that meant nothing to you. "Uh, the bad guys."

You squinted your eyes at the screen, silently judging the graphics of the energy blasts- space bullets?- or whatever they were supposed to be. "Pete, when was this movie made?"

"1977."

"Oh okay," you said, deciding to give it some leeway for the trash designs.

You scooted a little closer to your friend, figuring you'd get a little bit more comfortable.

Oh how he wished you hadn't done that.

Nothing like actual, physical contact with a girl that you like and you think she might like you back to actually manage to distract you from one of your favorite movies ever.

He froze, not wanting to pull away and offend you, but definitely not wanting to stay because just being this close to you was making his mind run wild.

Does she actually like me back? What if Mr. Stark and the team only said that to get me to make a fool of myself? She's too comfortable with me. She just sees me as a friend. Or maybe she likes me and she's just really chill about it? Ooh my gosh and she's leaning on me right now. What am I 'sposed to do?? I don't know I don't know I don't know!!!!!!!!!

Deciding for a quick compromise, he got up completely to reach for another soda, though his sprite was still half finished. When he sat back down, he wasn't as close. Hopefully, you'd just see it as natural human behaviour and not him wanting to be away from you.

Course you would see it that way, wouldn't you?

"Oh my gosh I recognize someone! That's R2D2, right?!" You pointed wildly, glad to not be completely clueless for once with this nerd crap.

"Yeah that's R2," Peter responded, letting out a secret sigh of relief, thankful for the distraction.

"A-and that's that gold dude!"

"Yeah, C-3PO."

"And oh crap that's Princess Leia!," you shouted. "Fucking feminist icon!"

Peter tilted his head. "Wait, how would you know that if you've never watched this?"

You laughed. "I still have access to the internet, doofus! Scroll down the nerdy feminist side of tumblr and Leia is literally everywhere."

Peter chuckled as he finally finished his sprite. "Okay. Valid."

Since that, you stopped talking for a bit. Part of you actually did figure that since you're here, you might as well actually try to enjoy the movie and maybe find out what the fans actually see in it that makes them like it so much. The other part just really didn't want to annoy Peter while he was watching his favorite movie series.

But sometimes you just have to say something.

"Hold up, wait. Isn't that his sister? Oh my God, Pete I swear somebody told me before that Leia was Luke's twin!"

Peter shrugged while nodding. "Well, that's a bit of a spoiler, but yeah. What about it?"

"Oh my gosh, Pete- what about it?! Dude, he's literally making 'fuck me' eyes at his own sister! He's all like, 'ooh you're so sexy I'm gonna bone you all over the galaxy'. That's freaky!"

You grabbed the remote and began to rewind it.

"C'mon now [Y/N]," he explained. "He didn't call her sexy. He said she was beautiful. Sexy is wayyy different from beautiful. You can think your family members are beautiful can't you?"

You paused it once you got to where you wanted.

"Okay Parker, look at that. Look at that and tell me Lukes's not totally undressing her with his eyes!" You pointed at Peter's face with a goofy smile on yours. "Oh wow, I've finally figured you people out now."

Peter's head cocked to the side. "Figured out what?"

"Star Wars nerds are a bunch of horny kids that like that step-sibling porn stuff but can't watch that in front of their parents so they have to use an alternative!"

Peter fell on his back with laughter, practically rolling around like a pig. "[Y/N], what?!"

You gave him an incredulous look. "Who else likes to see two siblings bang each other, Peter?!"

At that he pointed back at you while picking up his other soda. "To be fair, they never do that with each other. They only kiss, like twice and that's it. And one of them is only to make Han Solo mad."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about the Han Solo guy. Where is he anyway?"

Peter smiled. "Well, we're only twenty mintues in. He'll come soon."

To tell the truth, Peter really didn't even know what part you were at. His eyes were watching the screen but nothing was being comprehended. The only thing he could manage to think about was all the tiny things that were going on over on your side of the fort. Did you notice him staring? Was Tony right and you were just concerningly nice?

"I love how everybody at this bar is so chill south everything that's happening. It's like oh wow this guy just shot this green dude at table 8 and nope we totally don't care," you joked, pulling Peter out of his trance. He reminded himself that he should probably try to pay more attention. He didn't want to ruin the movie for you in case you had any questions.

But eventually, like all things do, the movie came to an end.

"So, how'd you like it?," Peter said while neither one of you made a move to leave the dark fort. You were laid out in practically a starfish-type position while he was sitting Indian-style.

You smirked. "I'll admit, it was pretty nice for a movie made in 1977. Still a bit lame though," you teased, pinching your fingers together with a giggle. Suddenly, you gasped. "Ooh, Vader was pretty lit though! Just straight force-choking people who disagree with you is such a power move."

Peter rolled his eyes and scoffed lightly. "Typical..."

"Excuse me?"

He bit back a quick smile. "Look, I'm not saying that Darth Vader isn't awesome. Because he is! Totally and completely but [Y/N], you do realize that in literally every movie we watch you like the villains?," he said, raising an eyebrow.

"Because the villains are awesome!," you defended.

"Just saying. I'm sensing a bit of a pattern...," he teased.

You scoffed. "This coming from the guy who actually feels bad about some the people crashing into things when we're watching Ridiculousness," you said, reminding in how Peter was forever the relentless sap. "Well, while you're so busy judging me, whose your favorite character?"

At that, he gave a small sincere smile. "Ben. He's really cool."

"Ben Kenobi? The old guy that literally let himself die? But why?"

He shrugged, the small grin still present on his face. "Eh, sentimental reasons..."

He watched you return his sweet smile and it was then and there when Peter really felt content with the night. Though, you hadn't even known the weight his words carried, he did. Ned was the only other person who knew about it. But Peter knew right then and there that if you had asked, he'd tell you. And he knew you'd understand. Maybe you were just nice. Or maybe you did like him back. But in that moment, Peter didn't care. He just wanted to be here with you. Lost in the warm smell of popcorn and your vanilla perfume, watching a Star Wars movie with Uncle Ben surely smiling down from Heaven. And it gave Peter hope that maybe, just maybe, this was a step in the right direction.

2 hours (and five minutes) down. 22 hours (and forty seven mintues) to go...

PURGE EPISODE II: BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST

10:00

It had been more than two hours since Tanaka and Tsukishima's dispute, with majority of the members siding with the latter's decision to take refuge in the gym and Tanaka's outburst, it had caused the atmosphere to be eerily tense. Tanaka still unmoving from his spot by the benches clutched and glared at his phone so hard that the phone might as well break, onlookers would pity the phone in his grip as he held on it with a vice. The other members were all busy with other tasks but still stayed cautious and tensed everytime they so happen as passed by the buzzedcut haired boy in fear he might blow up on them.

Since the team had opted with Tsukishima's idea the boy was the unspoken "leader" of this little survival game as the boy likes to put it. Teams of two were made and taskings were settled upon to make sure that the whole team would survive the night.

Kageyama and (Y/n) would gather the food supply they acquired by rummaging through their fellow teammates' bags and distribute rations afterwards. Yamaguchi and Kinoshita were on look out duty, perched towards the windows of the gym to see if amy of the volleyball club members who left would make their way back to the gym or if someone looked to be a threat to them and made their way towards the gym. Lastly, Ennoshita and Narita were scavenging for tools, supplies or anything that might be useful to them at all by the storage closet. Then by nightfall each would take turns and patrol in shifts.

"I can't believe theres no reception right now" Narita said with a sigh waving his phone around in the air to see if he could get any bars.

"Quit doing that and help me out here."

"Alright alright I'll help, its just gah a little reception wouldn't hurt"

Ennoshita, who was carrying a small box looked over to his companion with a rather unreadable look before opening it up and looking at its contents, "They must've cut it off right after they sent the broadcast"

Shrugging at the response, "I mean maybe?" grabbing a box of his own his face grew solemn before looking up at his partner, "Hey. . . did you ever get the feeling that this was. . . I dunno like planned . . . and someone knew about it. . . and-and that we aren't locked in by accident."

"Wait. . . what do you mean? planned? knew? a-accident? you aren't making much sense." The dark haired boy said sweating and laughing it off dismissively with a slightly panicked look in his eyes as he went on carrying the box to the other side of the storage room.

"Someone locked us in on purpose."

Ennoshita stood a few feet away from Narita. The box carefully laid on the floor, his back was turned towards Narita. His second year companion couldn't see the expression the dark haired boy was making but he did note the split second Ennoshita had froze up.

Meanwhile. . .

Kageyama and (Y/n) were sorting through various snacks and lunches they had found in their teammates bags. Water was scarce and it was noticeable to anyone that two bottles of water wasn't enough to fit 8 people. The nearest fountain and vendo was literally just a few feet outsode the gym yet it doesn't seem like they were getting out anytime soon.

"This is stupid." Kageyama muttered under his breath.

"What is?"

"This," he gestured towards the food supply they had and at the two bottles of water, "We could be finding a way out but instead we're doing this."

"I-"

"Tsukishima is trying to stall us"

The girl met the boy's cobalt blue eyes and furrowed her brows trying to make sense of what he was saying.

"He could've told us to just gather the all the food and leave it at that but he's making us do ration counts and listings for this. . . we don't need to do that since this will definitley last us the night and he knows that."

The boy then cautiously looked around to see if there were anyone other than them before continuing in a lower voice, "The gym door. . . it locks from the outside with a key."

"Well. . . I know that," the female stared at him deadpanned almost judging in a way.

Kageyama's face twisted to a scowl from the look their manager had given him, "Dumbass, I'm trying to say that we were purposely locked in. . . someone," his face hardens before continuing his words, "Someone used the key and locked us from the outside."

"I-impossible the key's in my bag a-and I thought it was jammed"

"I did too, before that lamppost told me to stop before the hinges broke.”

The girl bit the inside of her cheek not liking where this was heading, “Do you mean to say-?”

“That bastard locked us in.”

Going back to Narita and Ennoshita

“That’s absurd”

“I'm not saying that it is but It’s a possibility though. . ."

Ennoshita's legs were unnoticeably shaking as he carried another opened box to the side of the room. The boy's mind was clouded with thoughts at the moment and momentarily forgeetting about this loose floorboard that he was unconsciously heading towards.

A jolt woke him up from his almost spellbound trance his thoughts ensared him in, the next moment he had found himself in pain wincing as his elbow collided with the floor. The floorboard continued to squeak as his body weight still put pressure on the wooden tile.

The boy ignored the searing pain by his elbows and prepped himself up by his forearms.

“We ought to do something bout that wonky floorboard.” Narita said offering his hand for the latter to take, “But now that I mentioned it. . . It’s my first time seeing that loose board.” The boy thought aloud.

The two shared a look before inspecting the floor. Running his hand over the creaking surface Ennoshita felt and irregular bump over the surface, sharing a look with his companion the boy audibly gulped before taking the board in his two hands and lifting it up a bit.

An object wrapped and covered with a white cloth lay before them in the place of the now missing tile. Narita dared to touch the unknown object but when he had lifted it up the cloth fell of revealing a M-60 revolver with a single bullet.

The two boys shared a panic look.

"Now do you believe me?"

Meanwhile with (Y/n)

(Y/n) had just finished her chat about Kageyama being suspicious of Tsukishima. The boy went over and joined Yamaguchi and Kinoshita on look out duty leaving the poor girl all alone.

She couldn't help but be paranoid at the words Kageyama had spoken. She was looking around to see if others were looking at her general direction before stalking of to where she had left her bag.

'Please don't be true, please don't be true' the girl pleaded in her head as she rummaged through her bag looking for the gym keys. Her eyes widened and felt her blood run cold as she didn't feel it anywhere. She quickly took of all the contents of her bag and still nothing.

A small 'ding' emitted from her phone, the screen lighting up enough to signal that she had just recieved a message.

'Odd' she thought as she vaguely remembers the others saying that there wasn't any reception anymore. Sliding her finger across her phone she had tapped on the notification to see an unknown number.

7:19 (2 hours and 37 minutes prior)

"Hinata, I think your nose already stopped bleeding." Kiyoko, the dark haired female manager said as he inspected the boy as they made their way towards the nurse's office.

Hinata quickly removed the tissues that were plugged up his nose and started skipping. Yachi frantically waved her arms coaxing Hinata to stop.

"I-i don't think it's safe to run right after getting a nosebleed."

"Nonesense, its gonna take a heck more than a ball to the face to bring Hinata down, right Shoyo."

"Mn"

The four were just a little ways pass the gym and heading towards the main campus building when Kiyoko had abruptly stopped as one of her classmates had called on her from the halls.

The trio was only a few feet away from the two girls but they talked in hushed voices but somehow Hinata caught a hint of, "Class has been suspended today."

"Eh? Kiyoko-senpai?" Hinata called out towards the girl who was having a conversation with one of her fellow thirdyear. The girl shook her head before excusing herself from (R/n) who patiently and headed towards her underclassmen.

"I have things to do as they're calling for an emergency meeting in the teacher's lounge, Hitoka-chan I'm placing Hinata-kun in your care."

"Ehhh? did something happen??" Noya said pushing past Hinata and Yachi standing slightly infront of them in an attempt to get closer to Kiyoko.

"Apparently, class would be suspended for two days because of an emergency national protocol and the teacher's and student volunteers are going to have a meeting about it." She said before walking back towards her female companion who walked on the opposite side of the hallway they were in.

7:27

The door of the infirmary was standing before the trio. Nishinoya twisted the knob open and called out, 'obaa-san'. The boy then bounded inside the room after hearing no reply.

"Maybe she went home early after hearing the news." Yachi quipped with a finger on her lips in a thoughful manner.

" I don't know much about first aid but I'm pretty sure we gotta ice down that swelling on your face before it gets worse." Noya said.

Hinata was seated on one of the beds while Noya taped an ice pack around Hinata's head. Yachi was on her phone looking for news updates on the Emergency Protocol.

"That's funny, there doesn't seem to be any reception anymore," the girl said as she saw one bar on the upper left corner of her phone screen.

Faintly they could hear the sound of an alarm gradually growing louder and louder. The three had lifted their heads uo and peered outside the hallways to check what the alarm was about.

"Maybe it's a nationwide earthquake drill?" Yachi said.

"Uwoohhhh so cool." The boy had shouted while the alarm was blaring. Nishinoya was still looking left and right in the hallways as he saw a figure in black at the end of the hallway.

The boy had shook his head to see if it were just his eyes playing tricks on him, he turned his gaze back and saw that the figure was gone. Faint inaudible words could be heard from the intercom inside the nurse's room. The boy had just reentered with two of his other companions to hear;

"Any and all crime, including murder will be legal for 12 continuous hours. Police, fire and emergence medical service will be unavailable until 7-"

A loud bang was heard from outside the nurse's office as loud footsteps followed. Noya ran towards the door and locked it, switching off the lights and holding a hand up to cover Hinata and Yachi's mouths.

"ᴍᴀʏ ɢᴏᴅ ʙᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʟʟ." The intercom finished before a shrill scream and a gunshot was heard.

This is going to be a very long one, because after reading all of this there's so so so much I want to say. This is a big essay incoming.

When I first watched the ending. I thought it was the episode and the things before the ending in that episode that were wrong but the ending was alright. But after thinking about it and realising all of this. I think I have to agree with the ending being horrible for this show specifically.

And I almost NEVER say that. I mean with the whole manga aot ending I was one of the people who amongst all the hate was saying it wasn't perfect but it was still pretty good for what it was trying to do. But unfortunately this is not the case this time for me after having a good hmm and har, after originally having that view point.

I want to talk about it from a writer's perspective and also the perspective of the target audience watching this and what message was put out there, intentionally or not.

I also want to bring up 2 of my favourite other shows that also do the found family trope. And one ends with the family all still being together. And the other ends with the family splitting up and most likely never seeing each other ever again. And both of these endings for these shows, I absolutely loved. And the reason is because it fit in with the message and plot that the show was trying to convey from the start. But BBC Ghosts was saying a message and then doing a complete 180 at the end and that's why this ending for this show didn't work. It could have if the message was different in the previous seasons. But it wasn't. Anyway I'll get to those shows later.

Please don't be upset with this if you like the ending. If you do I'm not judging you at all and it's completely alright that you like it still, even after reading this. Just please listen to the reasons why people don't like it and respect them in return.

The message it ended up conveying

A lot of the points have been made above on this. But I do still want to talk about them because they've really opened up my eyes to how sad and depressing this ending actually is for this show.

I want to bring up the points of people defending the ending. That it's a metaphor for Alison growing up and leaving the nest. Or that with the baby now they couldn't possibly keep up with the house. And that Alison needed to move on and "live a normal life".

That last point especially gets to me. The "normal life" that she left her family for is literally the typical heronormative "oh I have a baby now I can't possibly make time for my friends or family anymore. My "real" family HAS to be my husband and kids now". And the reason she ended up leaving for this outcome is the ghosts saying "oh we're annoying you too much Alison and you need to leave and live a normal life"

Now there's so much wrong and a little bit right with this (I'll explain that in a second)

Firstly. Part of the development with the ghosts is literally that they learned to give Alison her own space and to be able to live more normally in her own house without constantly pestering her. I mean it's a giant f-ing mansion, easily big enough to do this. And throughout the seasons Alison was truly happy living with the ghosts eventually, because of this development.

But this episode literally went back on ALL of that development. Kitty was jealous and overbearing again, Julian was just sitting there making sexual comments even though he literally had an entire episode dedicated to his excitement about family and babies (which wasn't explored at all in this episode), and everyone was literally just being annoying whenever they were on screen and that literally wasn't often in this episode. It's like they were just trying to make it season 1 again when Alison truly did want to leave so they could just make her leave so quickly in the last 5 minutes and forget the other 4 seasons of growth with her and the ghosts.

The ONLY part they got a little bit right with this is that the ghosts grow to the point where they can say to Alison "we will miss you terribly but if you need to leave then you can". Like yes that growth is very good. But what was wrong was Alison just going "okay bye then" and completely disregarding the fact that she cannot have a normal life because she sees ghosts EVERYWHERE. And these ghosts were the only ones she connected with and could actually live with, especially since the house was so huge. And erasing that she LIKED living with them. Even in season 1 when she found a house with no ghosts she commented on it being quiet in a negative way. And after being stuck with the ghosts again, in the next episode they had worked out a way of living with each other that she was clearly enjoying.

I also hated how the show put labels on the found family. Like the aunts and uncles thing. The whole thing and honestly what makes it even more queer with a found family is the LACK of labels. They're not each others father or siblings, they may have those dynamics but they're not those things. They're a family of outcasts that ended up not fitting in together (which is extremely queer). And adding those labels just made it feel more heteronormative.

Which brings me into my next point. That Alison was leaving the nest and it was metaphor for your children going to uni or moving out and you stay in touch from a distance.

The thing is. As stated above by OP, the ghosts aren't Alison's biological family stand ins, they're literally the found family that Alison meets when she goes off uni. They're her best friends. They're not her aunts and uncles and parents. That wasn't the dynamic with Alison at all in the previous seasons. And that's why the whole labelling thing pisses me off again because the show is acting like they're her bio family stand ins and not her found family friend group.

With that in mind, her packing and leaving feels more like "when you have a baby you have no time for your friends and you can't be around them as often anymore. The only way for everyone to be happy is to have mummy and daddy and baby only" Which was the OPPOSITE of what the previous seasons were saying and again so heteronormative! What gets me so much is the previous seasons took a shit on the typical heteronormative experience. But this last episode just embraced it with open arms suddenly.

Literally the previous episode was making such a point about family not being straightforward and biological but sometimes it can be a mix of a bunch of different people who found each other and saw eye to eye and decided to have a family in a different way with different rules and compromising. And that button house was that place where they could all be themselves together.

But that's all thrown out of the window for the sake of the message being "Alison needed to move on to be with her real family" and that absolutely stings as someone who has been happier with a found family instead of my heteronormative experience with my immediate close family.

And for people saying well it's not goodbye forever and it's exactly the same as her saying goodbye to her friends and family temporarily. Well, they can't go and visit her. She can't call or text them ever. She can't keep in touch with them at all. And with the hotel, the only way she can go and visit them is by waiting for the one room to be available and going and paying to see them and we don't even know how often she does that. The ball is entirely in her court and she can't even communicate with them in front of regular people. It absolutely sucks. They just have to wait around until every Christmas where she may or may not come. And I mean she does but one day she will just stop coming back. She will die away from them and they won't know until they wait around for her for years and realise.

The second defence up there was already covered by OP. That the writers wrote this baby in and that it didn't need to be this way.

Thinking about it now, it really feels like this baby was written in just to give Alison and Mike an excuse to leave at the end.

They spent all the previous seasons developing both the ghosts and Alison to be able to live together as a big happy found family. And did so many plot points on how Alison herself cannot live a normal life outside of button house, and how she enjoys living with them and how well they now work with living together.

But then suddenly the ghosts annoy her once and instead of working out a compromise in the giant house and them working on it like they literally have the last 5 seasons, the only option suddenly is for her to leave. And the message why again is because she needs to be with her "real family". That just stings. I didn't cry at the end because I felt more stung than I did sad. I was destroyed of course, but in a different way than feeling that bittersweet ending that I usually love.

Not being able to keep up with the house wasn't part of the message at all. It's an afterthought by the audience and "oh well I suppose it works because of that".

That shouldn't be the case. The baby shouldn't have been written in just so they could come up with that message and force them to leave. After spending so long crafting an entirely different message on family, and catering that towards the queer audience.

And yes. I know. It probably wasn't intended that way. But that's exactly what the show was saying by the way it was written, intentionally or not. And it's unbelievably upsetting and I am trying so hard to not let it ruin the entire show for me. Because if I do then the rest of the messages the show were trying to say are made redundant.

It feels like they were trying to make a sad ending for the sake of it without thinking about what they were actually saying. They were trying to say one thing but ended up saying an entirely different thing because it was completely rushed with no build up.

They ended up making the found family the heteronormative aunts and uncles and parents that Alison needed to apparently grow away from and have a "normal" family without them, which isn't what the show was saying at all in any way before this episode.

I said above that I was going to talk about 2 of my favourite shows that had different endings for their found families and why they worked so well and why this one didn't. And I am! After a break haha.

I'm going to reblog this again and talk about that so stay tuned I suppose if you read this before I wrote the other one. I have a lot more to say about why this ending is so disappointing.

the ghosts finale was literally the worst finale of any show i have ever seen and i fully mean it

youre gonna take THE gay person found family show, add a fucking baby into the mix, have alison leave the ghosts so she can focus on the baby???

and like yeah. she has to. of course she has to. but like the baby isnt REAL. they wrote that thing in. they had her look at her found family and go sorry guys, this was fun but i need to focus on my real family, me and my DH and our lovely baby girl.

and see like. everyones posting analysis about how its actually even more family that they left because you also have to move out of your home when you grow up and only see your family for holidays yadda yadda and its like. well. yeah thats true. you live with your family until youre older and you love them but you outgrow them, who as much as you might like them are a part of you as your family and not as people you have independently grown to bond with. so you eventually leave them and surround yourself with a friend group or something such. one might even call it. a found family. and the reason why this sucks shit is because it betrays that this whole time the people writing this found family have been thinking “well yeah friendship is awesome but its nothing like REAL family where when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much-”

and then with that perspective you think back to the core of these characters who resonated so much and realize that their tragedies have always been a lack of family. julian was a serial cheater and workaholic who never told his daughter he loved her. pat will never get to see his kids grow up. thomas died before he could marry his beloved. fanny was robbed of a marriage with a man who loves her. kitty never grew up and got the dream wedding she desperately wants to have and her daddy never loved her. and then you get to cap who by all rights should be the exception to this and realize that when they teased him coming out the whole show but at the end subverted it to make it about his lost love it was not a radical portrayal of love between two men it was actually about them having the most cishet perspective on gay identity. it was them looking at a man who spent his entire life repressing his sexuality and going my, what a tragedy, he never got to get married.

of course you can say this has always been what the show is, that its not the shows fault i thought i was watching something else. fair enough. but appearently i’ve been watching something that is just not that good. like im going to be honest maybe it was just kind of bad.

Congratulations

It's the first time I've ever written anything related to twisted wonderland so I hope you enjoy it.

It is inspired by the movie "the corpse bride" and an episode of ranma 1/2

I apologize if it is not well written as English is not my main language

It was true that you loved idia from the first moment you saw him in nigth raven collage, his very shy way of being had captured your attention, and now here you were hiding next to Grimm, watching how ace, riddle, ephel and rook were trying to convince that unfortunate bride to marry one of them and put on that magic ring.

Although she had stolen from the person you loved to marry him as he was her "ideal prince ", which you also were, you were not angry with her, after all it was not her choice to die before finding the one who would be her prince, and it was not her fault to be wandering like a ghost without being able to find peace, you just couldn't hate her and even the idea of sealing her with a ring made you completely horrible, you felt sorry for her, But you also didn't want her to take idia's life, maybe you even felt a little jealous, but it's not that you could do much, now all your hopes were placed in your friends, it's not that you could do much, after all that girlfriend named eliza had already rejected several of your friends, and it's not that persuading a girlfriend was an easy task.

But as if fate wanted to reward that little bride for her long wait, your friends couldn't win her, your face was horrified to see riddle slapped hard and letting that magic ring fall off his hands when he was so close to putting it on, the ring all the way to where they were hiding looking at the whole show, this was wrong, well, it was worse than wrong, not only your feelings for idia but her life were at stake, The reputation of the school and poor ortho who loved his older brother.

Your face had a feeling of sadness, you wanted to help him, you wanted to be able to solve this, you wanted the bride not to suffer anymore, but the fact of wanting to do something is not enough, you also have to act, but if your friends, who were excellent magicians (well most) had fallen under the seal of the ghost bride, who would trust that you a simple human without magic, could save not only one of your best friends but also the one you loved, your face had no expression in space. Just looking into the void.

But just the mention of a single prayer made her heart collapse, "let the ceremony begin." those words made time stop... Time was what was needed to stop this madness, because it was 11 at night, I only had one hour, an hour that would last the ceremony to get married at 12... With all the pain in your heart you knew you couldn't do much for yourself, "come out of here Grimm, we can't do much here" you said while with a sad look you looked directly at idia, as if you wanted to apologize to him, you took the ring between your hands and turned away from the place.

They walked at a slow pace, while Grimm followed you closely and silently, you didn't want to see little ortho and tell him they had failed in their mission, not yet... As you kept walking you heard how the ceremony started with that wedding march that was so famous, even you had dreamed of it once, but not like this, as you went your way at the door you found a ghost sobbing, what was he doing there? You wondered internally, after all most of the ghosts were at the ceremony very happy to see how their princess had finally found her beloved prince.

Would it be ok to ask him why he felt sad? Well, you don't have much to lose either, you sat next to him and turned your back on him while you played with the ring between your fingers, Grimm curled up in your legs, "hey, why are you crying?" you asked him in a soft voice, because even if he was a ghost you didn't want to scare him, he turned around and you immediately recognized him as the one eliza called" his best friend." "It's not in your interest," I answer bluntly while turning my back. "Wait, aren't you friends with the ghost bride? , why aren't you at the ceremony, I just started?" Despite his rude words that you wanted to hear, it's not that you wanted to come back to give the bad news that you probably already knew," I told you it's not your human affair," you sighed deeply when you responded by looking at the already dark sky," you know... If you are really her friend you should go with her and support her... Just don't be a coward like me... I should have tried to help my friends but I hid and here I am running away from problems... Running away from fighting for the person I love "you said while a tear came out of your cheek, those last words burst the attention of the ghost who turned to see you," I love her" confessed the ghost silently, you turned to see her "I have loved her since we lived, but I could never say anything and I have no time todo so, after all she only sees me as her friend ".

There was a long silence between you two, three if we told Grimm that he was listening in silence to everything, you decided to look at the time on a watch that had been lent to you to see how much time they had left, 15 minutes to finish the ceremony, something was clear, you had run out of time... And as if a ray of hope had illuminated you came up with an idea and maybe the last hope of all, you looked at the ghost "you know... It's too late to try to stop the wedding, but it's not too late to be the first to say congratulations, it's the least we can do for them "you said as you smiled at the ghost even though your eyes will still run into a couple of tears.

You got up from your place as you put Grimm next to you, walker made some flowers that were nearby and cut some, forming a beautiful bouquet that you tied with the ribbon in the shape of a bow that was part of your uniform, you could get another one but could not get another idia "you know it would be rude of us to introduce ourselves without a gift" the ghost stopped from his place and you climbed Grimm on your shoulders, he whispered to your ear "what do you plan to do?" You just gave him in response a bass "you'll see ".

The three were running towards the cafeteria or in this case the place where the wedding would take place and before they could arrive some ghosts blocked their way, at that moment you thought that all is lost but that friend of the princess spoke before you could even open your mouth "it's okay she comes with me" those ghosts who acted as guards judged you with their eyes and let you follow your step.

You were in front of the cafeteria door, well, it was now or never a sigh as you heard those words that put at risk any wedding "if anyone opposes this wedding let them speak now or shut up forever" and at that moment you slammed open the doors, on your left side was Grimm and on the right the ghost, everyone was silent, the poor bride was furious while idia had a face of relief. The ghosts were about to attack you but before it moved out of place you spoke "I'm sorry for that, I think a little rough on my part" the bride watched your movements from the altar, you just walked down the main hallway with your two hands holding that bouquet you just made a moment ago, and between your hands that were covered with beautiful flowers you held the ring "I introduce myself, I'm a friend of idia and I... Sorry I meant us" you said as you turned to see the ghost next to you '"we just wanted to be the first to say congratulations'"

The bride smiled pleased by your words, while idia's face lost all its brilliance "in fact I have brought you this gift" you said showing that bouquet of flowers you held in your hands, you walked until you were in front of the bride, your heart beat quickly, it was now or never, when you put your hands on the bouquet you would put the ring "don't worry they are not poisonous flowers" you said with a smile she just looked at them and gave you a big smile, you felt your heart heavy. But you had todo it or that repeated in your mind, "thank you very much, you are really very kind" she said with a smile as she gave you a little kiss on the forehead and as if everything was moving in slow motion you saw her hands approaching the bouquet, you had todo it but you just couldn't, you didn't want to hurt her but you didn't want to lose idia either, you didn't know what else todo and when her hands touched yours under the arrangement, you collapsed. Dropping the bouquet and holding the ring against your chest.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do it" you started crying on your knees in front of idia, your friends looked at the scene in amazement, well it's not that they could do much in their current state either, "forgive me idia I want to save you but... I don't want to hurt you with the ring "more tears and sobs came out of you, eliza just looked amazed like the rest of the ghosts, idia just knelt down beside you while hugging you," forgive me..." He gently pulled you away from the embrace, "don't cry, it's ok... Although I would have liked to be able to read that comic by your side "you looked at it with tearful eyes" I also wanted to read it by your side, and not only that, also talk and play video games together for longer, why me... I... I love you idia "you said as you sobbed, he was silent as he hugged you and in a soft voice said" I love you too "and those words left you a bittersweet taste, you knew I loved you but now he would marry a ghost.

Eliza looked at the two embracing, she remembered that horrible day when her dream and life ended, her friend had comforted her in the same way although it also cost her her life, it was true idia was her ideal prince but... She didn't want to take her sleep away from someone as the world had done with her, she felt bad and even though the human was about to harm her she repented, she could feel that her feelings between them were real, she looked at her best friend sadly "you know... This is not right "she had realized the damage she had done" once they took away that dream of marrying my prince in some future, and now I am doing the same with someone else "she reached out to the two, who turned to see her still embracing," there will be no wedding, I... I am sorry for all the problems caused by "turning to see the others present" not only to them... To all, to my fellow ghosts and to the students of this school."

"I wanted to find my true love, my ideal prince like in fairy tales and fall in love with him, but I don't think it can be that way, but you've got it," she said with a sincere smile that you gave back. "y /n, Please take good care of him now and in the future "just a sigh and I look at idia" I'm sorry for everything I made you go through "I look at the other ghosts" I think it's time to give up "he gave a sigh and by an act of pure impulse you took his hands between yours" don't do it, it may not be as you describe it, but... I know someone who may be your ideal prince."

You took her friend's hands with your right hand and joined them with hers, whispered to him "come on tell him" and so he took a big breath of air and said "eliza I... I have loved you all my life and not life "eliza looked at him in amazement and there she understood something, she did not need a perfect prince, she needed someone to love her, and with all her strength she cried" the wedding is resumed "everyone had happy looks.

Again the wedding started with only a slight change of bride and groom and there you were sitting next to idia watching the ceremony. "If anyone opposes this union speak now or shut up forever" no one said anything, "well declared them husband and wife, you can kiss the bride" and the two ghosts kissed, everyone celebrated with applause and congratulations.

"Congratulations," you said to eliza as she hugged her, you held no grudge nor did she hold you despite so many emotions that had happened just a few minutes ago maybe hours, "thank you." she said happily, "thank you for what?" You asked her in confusion, "why thanks to you I found my prince and will finally be able to rest in peace," she said with a smile as she turned her back and threw her bouquet which, coincidentally or not, fell into your hands. "I'm glad you could have your happy ending in the end," you said with a smile as you looked at idia who gave you a gentle, cute kiss just like the fluttering of a small butterfly.

And as if nothing had happened the boys could move again and the school returned to its normal state as if there had never been a wedding. It was clear that ortho was happy to have his older brother back while principal crowley was reassured that they would not damage the school's reputation.

I hope you liked it and I'm sorry if the characters stayed as oc, but I still don't get used to writing to the twisted wonderland guys, I still couldn't get this out of my head.

Opposites Attract Colson Baker X Reader PT 1

Requested By @ateliefloresdaprimavera

Word Count: 1,838

A/N: Really playing with this concept so a part 2 is coming possibly doing multiple thoughts hmu and let me know guys! Hope you like it 😊

Song Lyrics: Young & Beautiful Lana Del Rey

People say opposites attract, that’s not only true for friends but also lovers. Colson can attest to that, he calls Y/N his lover his soul mate. One man and one woman, polar opposites but always at each other sides, through the good times and the bad.

Colson has been dating you for about 2 years they met at the record release party when his album Bloom came out. Y/N's aesthetic flies in the face of modern sensibilities and embraces the carefree, the relaxed, and the unusual. With him no denying that he was handsome. His blonde hair, strong jaw and crystal blue eyes that seemed to make every girl melt right under his stare. Not to mention the fact that he always walked around in the latest designer clothes, all perfectly styled. He has the sex appeal of a god the tattoos adding to the bad boy mystique.

When they went public with their relationship surprisingly the fans took it well and have been very supportive. The comments on his IG posts showed so much love it is honestly sweet.

@Mystical Dimples: what a perfect couple @machinegunkelly & @YN

@FloatingHeart: Born to love each other!

@GirlOfNeptune: you two are so in love! Congratulations @machinegunkelly & @YN

Casie and you got along great she absolutely loved and adored you. And the two of you often had a girls day out lunch, shopping, it brought a smile to Colson's face knowing that Casie thought the word of you just like he did. The guys they thought of you like family and they were glad to see him so happy finally "It's about damn time!" Slim cheered out when you both broke the news to them. So many whoops of support, high fives, pats on the back and hugs it sort of felt like an episode of Full House. Y/N of course though may have a sweet quiet demeanor but don't let it fool you she loves smoking with Colson and the guys heck sometimes you could out smoke him like the best of them.

"Daddy are you going to ask Y/N to marry you?" Casie asking watching Colson look down at the elegant 7 carat diamond and gold engagement ring. "Yes special girl I am, I honestly believe we are meant to be together and I want to spend the rest of my life with her." Casie clapped and giggled jumping down off the bed bouncing out of the bedroom. "Daddy and Y/N sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g…" Colson couldn't suppress a giggle hearing the phrase echo down the hallway. You were beginning to awaken as you turned to face Colson wrapping and arm around him your other free hand rubbing his bare chest. "My babygirl stirs." He murmured kissing your head. Your eyes opened staring straight into his icy blue ones, it might be first thing in the morning but god he looked sexy. "Morning baby." Colson was going to wait till tonight and pop the big question but he couldn't take it he was to anxious to hold off any longer.

He grabbed your hand in his the ring clasped tightly in his other. "Y/N you have managed to do something I had't thought possible, love again." Placing the delicate engagement ring on your finger he asks "I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you, Y/N will you marry me?" Smiling you kiss him "Yes" you whispered a few tears of happiness sliding down your cheek. Pulling you tightly to him Colson broke out into a huge smile, "besides I need your sexy ass to keep my wild one in line." Colson couldn't imagine you not in his life, you balanced him out kept him anchored. The sex was absolutely incredible it managed to break out a side of you that drove him wild. There was no doubt in his mind that he had managed to snag the perfect woman and he wouldn't trade that for the world.

**********************************************

The party inside the club was going strong, you, Colson, Slim, Rook and others were in the VIP section. You had this planned in the back of your mind all day, you slipped away undetected by Colson and headed to the stage whispering something to the MC he nodded as he pressed a few buttons as you grabbed a mic.

//I've seen the world, lit it up, as my stage now. Channelling angels in a new age now. Hot summer days, rock and roll and all the way I got to know, your pretty face and electric soul...//

Colson recognized the first few bars of music instantly.

Somehow, as he watched your fingers curl around the mic, he knew you were thinking of him. From how your lips curled into that sly sexy smirk, to the rose of your cheeks, he knew. Colson felt like a voyeur now but found himself loving the buzzing and heavy feeling.

A mind hush took over the once-rowdy crowd as the tune and timbre of your voice matched and melted into the cords perfectly. The ballad poured from you with such emotion and flourish, as though singing in front of a hundred people was the easiest thing in the world for you to do. You clearly didn't need the prompter to know the words, so with your eyes closed you hit every single syllable and carried each note effortlessly. The gentle sway of your hips along with the music was magnetic and memorizing, not only to him but to nearly every other person in the club too.

//Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I've got nothing but my aching soul? I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will...//

With a final smirk, Y/N ended her song and the crowd burst out into a boisterous ovation. Their whole table stood and cheered loudly, joining with the other patrons in their own enthusiastic applause.

You bowed graciously, grabbed your drink from the barstool next to the mic and exited stage right. You then walked towards their table, towards Colson, with a subtle purpose and a sultry look in your eye.

Your gaze landed on Colson's lean frame, sunk casually into the bend of the booth, his leather jacket off, his white button down shirt his tattooed chest on full display. You contemplated jumping him right then and there but realized that no one really needed to see that.

Besides, you could keep your hands to yourself for one night, surely...

A drunk fleeting thought dared question how deliciously torturous it would be to spend all night next to him and not touch or kiss him. You imagined how cathartic it would be when you finally allowed yourself the pleasure. It was almost a challenge made silently unto one's self.

'How long could I really go?'

Because, God, he just looked so goddamn sexy. Colson's cool laid-back demeanour added to his enticing aesthetic, and you wondered, idly, how many others in the club had noticed his effortless allure and charisma.

Pleasantly, his posture straightened as he saw you approach and that wicked side smirk tugged at his knowingly soft lips, making your knees weak.

'I won't last the night.' You thought to yourself.

Your beaming smile was sloppy and your limbs seemed extra loose as you approached, but judging by the empty champagne, shot and highball glasses that scattered the table your swagger was just.

Y/N then slipped into the booth next to Colson, settling in close, really close, a heavy hand falling on to his thigh under the table. She planted a firm kiss to his cheek with a wide grin.

'See? I can't even last 5 seconds...I won't last the night…

As the group chatted loudly about the day's activities, Colson found himself lost within warmth radiating off her, the smell of her perfume and sweet sweat invading his senses. His eyes drifted over her exposed neck, shoulders and ample cleavage. You looked like sin personified in that dress, the fit and cut leaving nothing but filthy desires to cloud his brain as he subtly adjusted himself in his seat.

You were amazing up there, by the way." Colson said.

You spin around to face him fully, the thin strap of your dress shifting down your shoulder with the movement, "Thanks, baby."

Without thought he reached up to put the fabric back in place, cool fingertips gliding over your warm skin. The action warmed you but you tried your best to recover quickly.

'...Girl... Focus up.'

"You had them hook, line and sinker,"

"I'm just a pretty H/C up there in hot pink." You said with a flip of your wrist.

"Yea, you are, with the voice of a fucking angel."

A warm blush crept over your cheeks and chest, "Colson..."

"What? I'm serious."

"They reacted the same to Ashleigh,"

"I doubt that."

"And Kali."

"I doubt that even more."

"It's true!"

"Prove it." He challenged.

"What would you have me sing?" You asked sweetly.

Colson smirked, "Literally anything."

His lowered tone had his desired effect and as the words fell off his tongue a visible shiver rolled over you. You smirked back and sipped at your drink again, your eyes on his through thick blonde lashes.

After singing a few favourites including a cover of 'Chandelier ', then a duet with him to 'Bad Things', followed by a ballad rendition of 'Crazy', nearly consecutively, Y/N flopped back into their booth with a heavy sigh.

"Entertaining is hard work!"

"Yet another amazing performance," Colson topped up your water glass as you settled in, "-You wowed the crowd,"

A realization, if anything, it was a green light to engage in some sort of unspoken game of seducing you,

The thought alone drove him wild.

So, he kept up the silent charade, the rouse serving as an effective aphrodisiac, and was also, clearly, convincing.

"I'm not flirting." He offered gently.

"I know. You're just being your polite and charming shelf." You cooed at him.

A small smile pulled at his lips now, "What should I do?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

Turning to face him more, you smirked again and cocked an eyebrow, "Well, that's not true."

As you spoke the hairs on the back of his neck stood up for the second time that night, "Oh?"

"You could find us an excuse to leave, and take me back home." You said with such a deadpan seriousness that he nearly choked on his beer.

"Bail on our engagement party?"

Y/N nodded, eyes dark and suggestive, "Just let me use the ladies room first,"

Colson didn't need to be told twice and agreed quickly as you slid out of the booth. He then stood just as you came out of the bathroom moments to grab your jacket and small purse.

"Ready?" He asked, sweeping his arm out in front of you and towards the doors.

"Very."

I'm making a comeback after what? 2 days? I don't care, it's still a comeback lol

i'm so sorry for your loss :( i know how hard it feels to let go of a loyal companion so i'd like to take a moment to send you my condolences. i'm sure he's doing great wherever he is 💕 he was lucky to have you and i'm sure he's still grateful for the love you gave him. i'm glad my silly little messages could help, even just a little :)

i don't want to think about queendom because i know msnake is behind it and i don't want another controversy or problem. but at least, the lineup is cool for this one too. not gonna lie, i'm kinda curious how the songs will sound because they all have great discographies. i still don't understand the point of putting kep1er in the mix but yeah, let's hope for something good to come out of the show 🤞

i'm still thinking about how to reveal my identity to you. but first, i'd want to leave a few clues just to see if you find me hehe as for rv, i agree. the outfits all look cute and i can't wait to see what they'll wear for live stages. i'd love them to perform bamboleo but i think they're most likely to promote beg for me (not my favourite out of the album 💔) if they do plan on performing another song.

when you say football, do you mean american football or the one the rest of the world calls football? sorry, i'm a little sensitive over that topic because i'm a 'soccer' enjoyer and i despise that word. i prefer calling it football. it's a sensitive topic for me 🤧 how did you know i watch kdramas? are you sure you don't already know who i am? 👀 i do watch them, but only occasionnally. as for thai dramas, i have never watched one (as far as i remember). i've heard they were great but idk where to start.

question of the day: which dramas are your favourite (no matter if it's kdramas, thai dramas, etc.)?

you know the drill, i hope you're having an amazing day and that you're doing as best as you can in these trying times 💌🫶 (i just found about this emoji, idk if you'll be able to see it but just in case, it's two hands forming a heart)

asjhdsakjd hiiiii welcome back!!! truly thank you so much <3 that really means a lot!! your messages are so special to me i appreciate every single one!💓💖💕

yeah it’s probably gonna be a mess but i’m planning on just watching the performances because they’re fun and you don’t get any of the drama!! i don’t have the energy for the full episodes though especially with mnets editing :/ i’m not really sure why kep1er are there either it’s only been a few months since their debut and they were just on a survival show so i’m not sure why they would want them to do something similar so quickly??? but i’m still hoping they do well! their opening stage was one of the best in my opinion! though i feel wjsn or loona should win but it might be too soon to judge it!

at first i was trying to pick up on the clues and use my detective skills 🕵️ but i like the mystery!! so you can reveal yourself to me when you’re comfortable and if/when you want to 💞

well i watched the new red velvet stages and i’m a little disappointed the other song they performed was in my dreams :( i do like the song and they looked really pretty (i loved yeri’s dress) but it's not my favourite from the album and overall the stage was a little boring :/ but the stage for feel my rhythm was sooo pretty i really loved the set and the outfits!

ohh yes!! i meant football ⚽️ (not american) i will never call it soccer but i was thinking maybe i should because i was worried there would be some confusion on that! so i'm glad we’re on the same page about Football!! do you support a team in particular? or do you just enjoy watching it in general?

noooo i genuinely have no idea asdkjhasd i just thought that since you like kpop and recommended little forest that maybe you also watch kdramas! i mostly just watch whatever sounds interesting to me but my favourite genres of dramas would probably be thrillers or romcoms! total opposites but i love both equally! i'm worried that if i start listing a specific dramas that i like i won't be able to stop as theres so many! but i really love thai dramas and i think they're super underrated so if you ever want some thai drama recommendations i have A LOT! but let me know what kind of dramas you like so i can narrow it down to your taste <3

hehe thank you so much!! today was a little better! i hope you are having a great day too! oh nooo i can't see it :( but i did google what it's supposed to look like though it's super cute! so just imagine i am sending it back to you too! 💝💞

Conversation

Am I the only one on the fence about Game of Thrones in terms of the plot, characters, etc.? Like i'm MADLY in love with this show but I do agree with certain points people who dislike D&D's writing?

So i'm gonna explain why on a court-based post. Judge asks if the show is still good. Prosecution saying yes, defense being no. Just gonna post why on each sides.

LONG POST. JUST BEWARE.

Prosecution:

• For starters, why are people complaining about how quick everything is going? If the show has 8 more episodes, what do you want them to do? Talk about the fucking flowers growing in high gardens? This shouldn't be a shocker. They've still gotta cover a lot of shit within 8 episodes.

• Incest has been in this show from season 1-7 and damn near half of Westeros is born from incest. At this point, why does this shock people? No ones shipping or supporting incest whatssoever, but seriously?

• Idiots who say that supporting Daenerys/Jon means that you support incest in real life is like saying that since we love watching war and killings that we support this in real life as well. You guys have got to come with a better defense than this. Its dumb. And boring.

• The people complaining about how quick people are getting to places crack me up. Jorah kidnapped Tyrion and rowed him to a completely different continent in 2 episodes. Daenerys said that Jon's boat ride to Dragonstone took 30 days. Why would the show film an entire time gap, which they've NEVER done before? With 8 episodes left, they've gotta get right to the point.

• My only defense for Jon possibly bending the knee is that his desperation for saving the North and humanity has always been straight-forward. He doesn't care about how desperate it looks. He's after one mission and has always been after it.

• Daenerys obviously doesn't fall in love with Jon over the course of six days. People watch episodes and think that the time gap is within a week, and these are people who've been watching the show from the start. You should know better. Jon has been in dragonstone for weeks according to Sansa, and took longer to get back to the Walkers.

• The contradictory statements that people make about Daenerys is so pathetic. People hate her for killing and not listening, but worship Cersei. Its a fucking war. What do you expect? Just say that you dislike her and move on. Lmfao.

• I think that Arya threatening Sansa was to fool Lord Baelish. I can't see Arya actually killing her sister over a disagreement.

• "Can't believe that Jon Snow fell for someone so evil" oh give me a fucking break. He fell in love with Ygritte who was a wildling that killed for sport and got exactly what she deserved. An arrow through the heart. Daenerys isn't HALF as savage as Ygritte was and if she survived, I could definitely see her harming him again if she didn't see what she said.

Defense:

• I've shipped Dany/Jon since season 4 when the two knew nothing about one another, but since they apparently date in the books, I think they should've spent this season quickly developing their relationship, then eventually married/had sex in season 8. People ship Jon with Ygritte more because they gave the couple 2 seasons to develop. I know they don't have the time, but yeah.

• Arya threatening Sansa? Seriously? These girls haven't seen each other in AGES and almost right away, their arguments are going a bit too far. Even their reunion was trash. Sansa's reaction to seeing a sister that she thought was dead was a C- in the emotional department, which is completely out of character for her.

• WHY DID THE GROUP THINK THEY'D BE ABLE TO FIGHT THE WHITE WALKERS ALONE? LIKE ITS 7 AGAINST 10000000 AND JON KNOWS THIS. YALL SHOULD'VE NEVER SET FOOT BACK THERE UNLESS YOU HAD WILDFIRE OR A DRAGON LMFAOOOOOOOO

• Bringing a white walker to Cersei? Seriously? Considering that she conspired to kill Ned, Jon should've loosened his collar about meeting up with her. He says NOTHING like "That bitch murdered my father", "Hell no! She's betrayed me!" Nothing. Just, "Fuck it I wanna kill the white walkers lets go."

• I will admit that that scene with Tyrion telling Daenerys that Jon loves her was unnecessary. Like we know this already based on Sir Davo's hints. What's the point of wasting an entire scene to explain what's known? We've got 8 episodes like we don't have time for this.

• The ease that the others feel about going to see Cersei is a bit too mellow. All of these stories they've heard about her killing to get what she wants and they think its a good idea to go like she didn't just use wildfire to kill 1000 people.

• I know I just ranted about the time gap, but Jon Snow getting a raven to Dany in such a short period of time during the fight with The White Walkers was a major reach. I don't care how fast that boy ran. Unless he's the damn Bolt, nobody is getting to a pen and paper AND getting it to her in that short period of time.

• Jaime Lannister is so fucking stupid. Your father was gonna execute your brother, and you're surprised at Tyrion murdering him. Why the hell are you so angry about that? It was either Tywin or Tyrion.

• If Jon bends the knee to Dany, I will fucking riot. How the hell did you go from "i'm a king!" to "Fuck it take the North omg you're beautiful." Like it makes no sense. Daenerys already said that she'd fight for you. Why give her the north to add more icing to the cake that she already has?

• Tyrion's character has become COMPLETELY washed. Like if I started watching the show during this season, I would wonder how he's a fan favorite. Old Tyrion would've said "Fuck this shit, i'm out. She's not listening and I could be sleeping with a thousand whores." What's his purpose if their meetings consist of arguments and that's it? Send him back to Kings Landing with Jaime then.

Questions:

• Why are the episodes shortened? Why don't they just do 10 episodes per season so they can carefully plot these storylines? Everything's rushed.

Overall, I still love the show! I'm not Jonerys or Jonsa though because both fanbases are a little crazy tbh.

CHAT TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS OR IF I SHOULD ADD ANYTHING. ILL LET YOU KNOW IF I AGREE.
