#i feel terrible cos theres so many drafts i have to get to here but it's kind of overwhelming tooksmsmsms

[bloodyearn]

weather and life have been hectic the past week but finally back aroundd

[tumblunni]

Today's thought for a Dr Maddiman fic that i probably wont ever have the skill to write, lol

Au where his wife is still alive in present day, she's just elderly and in hospital for [insert name of whatever illness]. So maddiman's redemption and re-meeting his son manages to happen in time for him to see her again.

Im thinking something like he was planning to just keep his distance cos he's scared she hates him and he could never apologise enough for everything and AAA he hasnt even successfully conquered a small continent let alone the world!!! ("Just let it go already, old man") But then she takes a turn for the worse and when she's in critical condition the head surgeon isnt there and so MADDIMAN BUSTS IN TO SAVE THE DAY! "We need a doctor!!" "I'M A DOCTOR" screams some sort of sobbing cyclops ghost, busting down the wall on the back of a giant frankenmonster...!!

So he ends up doing the impossible surgery noone could ever do, and saving her life with his yokai powers. And then he's just stuck there frozen like "oh god i should leave before she wakes up" vs "i missed her so much i want to stay forever". And he's flailing around looking to protagonist and co for help but theyre too busy running around sticking Wazzat on everybody to cover up the whole, yknow, crazy man punched thru the wall while also being a walking corpse thing.

So she ends up waking up and he's like AIYEEEEE and turns into human form cos he doesnt want to freak her out but DOUBLE AIYEEEE that would probably freak her out even more!! Cue a scene of him falling all over the place trying to put on some terrible disguise while she's got her back turned. "OH..YES...UMM..I AM DOCTOR...FRANK..?" *terrible deep voice attempt*

So we have this super awkward adorable conversation where he's like 'oh no i cant control my love!' Cos it was my headcanon that a side effect of maddiman's powers is that he's like..forced to be more emotionally honest, like he wished he could have been as a human. But its totally involuntary! Like your classic werewolf instinct to howl at the moon and eat people but instead "oh no..must...tell people i care...!!" So i mean his Maddiman personality really WAS always his true personality, but back when he was alive he hid himself away behind a thousand emotional walls of fake stoicism that only got more constrictive over the years. Yokai goofball vs human goofball who's just wearing a terrible 'i am serious man' disguise. That ruined his marriage and literally killed him! Yup! So getting superpowers based on hearts was kind of a lifesaver in his second life. God i have so many feelings for this poor guy!!!

But yeah anyway the gist is that he struggles not to blurt it out whenever he feels affection towards people now. THE CUTEST CURSE! Also itd be funny if his human form kept cracking up aka "oh no my heart is so full of love it wont stop jumping out my chest!"

So anyway we have some brief comic relief of him failing absolutely utterly at pretending to not be himself/not bursting out crying/trying to hold back his own arms from running over and hugging her/losing his heart when he gets hit with the love so hard it launches right out the window...

And at the same time its kinda melancholy cos OF COURSE his wife would actually want to see him and OF COURSE she wouldnt care that he's a monster, she'd just be happy he's back. And maybe she doesnt notice all the clearly suspicious things about this strangely dressed man (and the draft from the missing wall...) because she's just caught up in those melancholy memories. Becuse of course after a close brush with death you'd get depressed that all of your family is dead and nobody would be visitibg you at hospital EXCEPT THEY ARE AND THEYRE RIGHT HERE AND THEYRE BEING DUMBASSES (cue dr nocturne walking in in the background, seeing her, freaking out and putting on an equally terrible disguise..)

So maybe the moment that makes maddiman lose his cool is when he sees she still kept the wedding ring. POOF! Giant explosion and suddenly full yokai form right in front of everyone! "N-n-n-now dont be alarmed t-this is..I..THERES A PERFECTLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION..! OVER THERE!" *tries to jump back out the maddiman shaped hole in the wall* But of course Because Love, she manages to recognise him even as a yokai and they have a heartwarming reunion! Hoorah!

So yeah happy ending au. Coulda just said that and saved all the words, but whatever XD

S7M12-14

This and the next recap have been sitting in my drafts for a while so here yall gogogogogo!!

M12-13

1) "Yes. I admit, I’ve come to find a strange comfort in Mr. Yao’s perplexing digressions.” :’)

2) Since this valley is cut off from outside communications, their ANNIE has not been in touch with the other parts since before the apocalypse.

3) “MAXINE MYERS: Well, we have a gun”

4) “I was trouble when I was a teenager. Maybe she’ll be like me.” I sincerely believe that little sarah will be a force to be reckoned with and no one can change my mind

5) “We’re going to light up the night” oh man i started playing this in the middle of the day and never got the memo this was at night??? I would have imagined this mission SO differently

6) “whatever’s attacking us here, it’s not just V-types or ordinary zoms. I think it’s something new.” WLL AS IF WE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH THINGS TO BE TROUBLED ABOUT

7) “One just bit a corpse! Oh God, that is so revolting. That can’t be right. The corpse is moving, and it has… yellow eyes.” Ohhhhhhhhh well now THAT’S what happens when they bite corpses!! Gosh i had been worried that they became v-types too, even if this is not ideal either. The question is, if you kill a ghoul and a v-type bites it again, what happens. Does it reanimate again?? because if so, we still have a problem.

8) “like it could tell you were hurt.” these v-types are v-smart (hehe) and i don’t like it no sir

9) I keep thinking about the nature of the v-types. Weren’t they the original viking zombies? One would think that the blue flowers, white spores, and grial blood we found would lay some light on how they originally went to sleep??

10) “And all my kids got out.”

M14

1) “Shower rota time is less than five minutes now.” we’re getting REALLY cramped aren’t we, just like old times. No one’s said this yet by the way what’s up with that s2s. Also, it’s been a while since we’ve heard the raising the gates with the alarm too. How about, yakno, doing that again some time, maybe? pretty please?

2) Just so you know i downlaoded so many fury road for this and next missions and i actually drove through most of this one with my phone under my legs. Also this song came in and i never felt more powerful driving home with the unforgiving smoldering sun of an agust afternoon heating up the scene.

3) “ A mobile resettlement colony. It travels the country collecting people from one township and reuniting them with friends and family in another, colloquially known as The Long Way Home.” This is such a cool idea actually???

4) “PETER LYNNE: [under his breath] Oh, can you just fry him in butter and serve him with gnocchi?”

Peter please don’t be such bitter baby omg

5) ”I have splatted myself on the windshield like some sort of giant immortal fly. “ I M DYING

6) “ This is all rather seat-of-the-pants, I must say. “ “Horrifies me, too, Colonel, but they seem to work best that way.” One the one hand: our daily bread for abel runners is going out there and doing terribly perilious things. Like, runners from other tonwships know that if theres an abel runner around, especial certain especific numbers, it's best to leave the area cos those bitches come with bad news. On the other hand, Peter/Five Horror-Typhoon Combo Team.

7) “ my very clear instruction to do something brave/heroic” We got chu babe no worries ✨👌

8) “ and your runners have overcome overwhelming odds despite their unorthodox methods, or perhaps because of them.” 

This comment didn’t even compute at all in my mind when i first heard it and then i read it in the transcript blog (thank u so much @siriusmistake u save my life errytime). BUT i AM thinking about it now and it just baffles me to my core.

Are we...weird???? What exacly about jumping on top of rigs and figthing cannibals and planting tracking devices and ziplining off of rigs is unorthodox.

I know, i know, this sounds sarcastic, but actually? i’m not quite sure what or how other townships/communities operate? At all? I can’t imagine they all have security teams or are really prepared to take on the kind of dangers we do. And we seem to always be with its feet firmly and deeply planted in some serious shit, and actively fighting back really dangerous situations of epic proportions. We have become so accustomed to violence and all types of perilious missions that we have forgotten this isn’t always part of the job in other places. And i feel like, fairly often, bigger townships like Abel and Fort Canton (if it’s convenient) end up giving help to other territories. Like, i imagine most runners at abel township and other places do...other stuff?? More like when we started. Still dangerous, but not the kind of things that “The Elite”, so to speak, do. It kinda reminds me how once steve referred to runnner five as “our best operative”. Because we are still called “runners” but...yeah, that’s not really what the job used to be anymore.

Also, maybe we are unorthodox because peter and five are the horror team of the month in my head and they have a very chaotic way of dealing with circumstances rather than going with whatever very scrupulous protocol janine or any other normal person has planned, yakno how it is
