TW: death, medical procedures, trauma
“one... two... three... Come on!”
Where was he? What was going on? It was dark all around him, he tried looking around but found he couldn’t move. He couldn’t even tell if his eyes were open or shut. To be honest, he didn’t know if he had eyes right now. He didn’t feel anything, he just felt like empty space, a void.
“thirteen... fourteen... Don’t you dare do this to me! fifteen... sixteen...”
It was a weird feeling to feel nothing at all. There was no sensation, no warm sun on his skin or the pressure of a heavy blanket pressed on top of him. But there also was no pain. There’s a flash of something in his head before it’s shuttered away. He thinks he should probably be bothered by his apathy but when you’re just a void, things like panic and regret seemed to slip away.
“twenty seven... twenty eight... twenty nine... thirty... Tucker, now do it!”
Something was going on, something he was missing out on. It was important and he knew he should be paying attention to it but it was getting increasingly hard to focus. Even the simple act of thinking seemed too much. It would be so much better to just, let his mind go and truly become nothing. It sounded nice.
“Danny! Come on, you can’t do this to us! Come back man!”
There’s another sort of flash and it’s filled with pain. Every single nerve in his body sung with an electric agony. His head felt like it had been cracked open with his whole being pouring out. There was this horribly pounding ache in his chest like his ribs are about to collapse inwards, as if there was a black hole where his heart ought to be. It hurts, part of him whined, curling away from the painful sensations.
“six... seven... eight... Tuck switch out with me next go around. ten...”
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO HURT, a voice from everywhere and nowhere said to him. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LET GO AND THE PAIN WILL CEASE AND NEVER RETURN. The idea of the pain stopping was appealing, this was a pain that was surely enough to drive the strongest person mad. And he wasn’t strong or brave, he was just a stupid kid. But something made him hold on, pause for a moment. What is the other option? He couldn’t help but ask in return.
“Sam... I can’t huff I can’t do this. I think Danny might be-”
“I’m not giving up, push harder dammit! I’ll keep count, one... two...three...”
YOU GO TOWARDS THE PAIN, EMBRACE IT. HURTING COMES IN MANY FORMS, THE ACHE OF BATTLE SCARS AND LOST OPPERTUNITIES AND SECRETS THAT EAT AWAY AT YOUR BONES. BUT THAT IS THE COST OF LIFE, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT PAIN ALONG WITH THE PLEASURE.
“nineteen... twenty... twenty one... twenty two, deeper compressions, Tucker!”
SO WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE, DANNY FENTON?
Danny, right, that was his name. He was 14 and lived in Amity Park, Illinois. He’d been messing around in his parents’ lab with Sam and Tuck when... 
POUND, POUND, POUND
His chest thumped over and over again, his ribs aching and breaking in an attempt to reach his heart. To start it back up again. More and more awareness seeped in: Tucker’s high pitched panicked breathing. The coldness of the lab floor underneath his own cooling body. The slap of Sam’s bracelets as she compressed and released, compressed and released over and over again. Hoping for a miracle that shouldn’t be forthcoming. But even miracles could occasionally slip through the cracks.
I SEE YOU HAVE MADE YOUR DECISION. VERY WELL, YOU HAVE FORSAKEN PEACE FOR PAIN. FEAR NOT, YOU WILL COME TO ME IN YOUR OWN TIME BUT UNTIL THEN, I SHALL ENJOY WATCHING THIS DRAMA UNFURL. TIME TO WAKE UP, LITTLE ONE.
Danny’s eyes flew open as he took in a deep, strangled breath so he had enough air to scream. “It hurts oh god it hurts!” He heard Sam gasp as she caught herself mid chest compression to stare in shock. Somewhere beside him, he heard Tuck yelp before babbling and crying hysterically. 
“Oh my god, Danny, holy shit I thought you were a goner. We’ve been trying to revive you for like an hour-”
“It’s been maybe a few minutes, Tuck...”
“Well it sure felt like an hour and-and Sam just jumped on your chest and started CPR and made me do it too and holy shit are you like, for real okay?”
“I don’t-” Danny coughed, his brain fuzzed out from the trauma to his mind and body the fading promise of a chance to rest. Sam’s fingers grasped ahold of Danny’s white hazmat suit, aggravating his probably broken to hell ribs. It hurt so bad but it meant he was alive. And right now that was the best feeling in the world. “I don’t know.” A few more struggling, shallow breaths. “Thanks guys, you saved my life.”
“I’m just glad you’re okay,” Sam sniffled with a wobbly smile, her mascara mixing with her tears and running down her face. “Don’t you ever scare me like that again, you hear? Tuck, call 911. His heart could give out again, we need to get him to a hospital.”
Danny gave a breathy chuckle, letting his head flop against the floor in pained exhaustion. He was alive, he was okay. He’d had a close call but his friends brought him back. Everything was fine. Of course, that was when Sam’s hands sunk into his chest again but not for compressions, they simply slipped right through his body like he wasn’t even there. Because not all escape were perfect and if one wanders to the other side, sometimes you bring something else back.

My opinions and raking for season 2 episodes (That no one asked for)
1- The Sacred Non-repeating Number:
I really liked this episode! I thought it was a good season opener. It was fun meeting other Shlorps and having a class system introduced. I do feel Korvo just flat out excepting the class thing and going a long with it feels off, I wish we got more internal conflict from it, but maybe will get that later. I rank this ep 5th out of 8th but only because there’s eps I like more
2- The Earth Eraser
Here we are, the gay episode. Now this was a great ep mostly because it had Korvo acting like a petty little bitch and I LOVE to see it. I’m not really into violence and gore humor which this episode had a LOT of but it did have really really great character moments, I really liked seeing Korvo hang out with Yumyulack and the Pupa and Jesse scenes where top teir 👌. I do have a complaint where I feel the speech Korvo gives at the end feels very rushed and not earned, like if Korvo was doing all this just to get Terry’s attention then I wish we got more scenes where that was the case? Like maybe something in the dinner party scene at the beginning, and let me just say the autism coding in that scene GEEZ (but that deserves it’s own post). But Korvo and Terry DO kiss in this ep (Nice) so I guess I can’t complain too much (just kidding I’m going to complain a lot). This episode ranks 3rd out of 8 for me.
3- The Lake House Device
Aaaaaand this is the ep I liked the least which somehow, by a miracle, beat out the Wall episode. Not to say it���s a BAD episode I just felt like it missed a lot of character moments. It did have a few really funny moments, the cheeseburger slippers and platypuses come to mind but it lacked too much for me. Korvo being to into “perfect” Terry just felt off to me, I think it would’ve been better if he began to notice that Terry’s new behaviors take away from what Korvo actually likes about him, but he continues to change him because Korvo’s stupid. The comic Spinetrick did covers this really well (you know the one). Other then that I just felt like a lot of the jokes didn’t hit it for me. The big dick energy thing just wasn’t that funny, like it was better then I thought it was going to be but it just had me groaning at the end. As for manic Terry, while it was funny at first I think it was a joke that went on too far. Ranked 8th out of 8th sorry guys :/
4- The Emergency Urbanizer
NOW HERE’S A GREAT EPISODE. This one almost tied for first but just didn’t have enough Korvo content for me, but other then that I absolutely loved this episode. Everything from the beginning (Korvo’s dumb pink robe) to them just leaving their kids in the woods to the design and look of the forest city to Korvo getting constantly attacked by wolves the absolute inconceivableness of this episode I fucking LOVE it!!! Everyone is their best here and I love to watch Korvo get mulled over and over. Also the designs of the city and treeple including my wife Birchette, all so good!!!! Ranking this one 2nd out of 8th.
5- The Rad Awesome Terrific Ray
Tumblr media
OK IN ALL SERIOUSNESS THOUGH.... this is my fav ep of the season...
I KNOW I KNOW a lot of people hate it (for good reason) but it’s the ep that had me laughing the hardest (to the point of tears) and I feel like that is all I can ask from the dumb dumb gaylien show. The scene of Korvo and Terry just fucking berating Jen for being basic had me howling not to mention all the scenes with Terry and the rats where fucking historical. There are so many fucking quotes in this ep. I even loved the side story with Jesse and Yumyulack which I usually don’t care for, but here it had me laughing just as hard at the main story line, and had me actually liking the Principle character who I’ve hated up to this point. ...and to acknowledge the elephant in the room the sex scene? Didn’t bother me too much, I thought it was pretty funny. Now do I get really embarrassed watching it? Yes, yes I do. I totally understand people issues with this ep and I respect them but I really like this dumbass episode for all it’s dumbassry. Ranked 1st out of 8, please send anon hate over this I deserve it.
6- The Apple Pencil Pro
Honestly an ep I forgot about until second watch, which isn’t fair because it’s a really good ep. I really feel this episode in particular solidifies that this is a dumb dumb show that does NOT take itself serious in the least and I kinda love it. I love how nonsensical, it just makes the show more fun for me. I really love the character Peter and how much the family agrees that their horrible monsters for hurting him, and the over top con at the end of the ep. I also love how even their worst enemies agree that Jesse is a good egg who wouldn’t hurt anyone intentional. I know people are going to cry about continuity but I honestly feel this isn’t the kind of show where continuity matters.There’s not much I can say about this episode other then it’s STUPID and I love how STUPID it is. Ranked 3rd of out 8.
7- The Unlikely Demise of Terry’s Favorite shot Glass
Now it’s no secret... I do not care for the wall plot. I find it honestly boring and none of the characters do anything for me, I feel it takes time away from the gayliens you know the REAL reason I’m watching this show. But I will say... the wall plat in season was much interesting then season 1. I feel season 1′s wall arch was much too much of a survival story we’ve seen a million times before. It was trite and full of cliches I’ve seen soo many times. It was also annoying so see sooo many people write big think pieces and reddit post about how the wall story was so much better then the aliens, like fuck off. But I will say this ep... was honestly very good. I think a wall episode that takes place outside the wall did it a lot of justice, and focusing on Cherie was nice because I actually like Cherie even if she’s a wall person. This ep even made me like the Duke, our ace kind...rip. Over all the fact that this ep made me even care gives it a leg up on the Lake House. 7th out of 8.
8- The Solar Opposites Almost Get An Xbox
Now this one is kinda hard for me to talk about. I’m pretty mixed on it. I feel it did somethings REALLY well and fun, and others moments dropped the ball. I know I’m a dumb tervo and I have no rights but I would’ve been nice to have gotten even a small scene of Korvo and Terry reflecting on their relationship with each other now that they’re dying. Like some kinda of moment of them almost confessing or something idk, it would’ve been nice. I did really like them running around trying to find fulfillment only to realize they need fulfillment with each other. The scene between Korvo and Jesse was really nice and I really liked it BUT it felt like it came too late and was shoehorned in there. It was weird for them to get so serious at the very end of the episode at the very end of the season. As much as I enjoyed it I feel it kinda brings the show down, like it’s trying to be something it’s not rather then playing to strengths. I think this show CAN have big emotional scenes but they have to be EARNED not just thrown in at the very end, it just weaks. Other then that....every scene with Aisha was amazing, I love her and I love Tiffany Haddish please keep putting her in this show. Overall decent ep but didn’t hit me like some of the others did 6th out of 8.
I liked this season a lot, and I look forward to season 3 and the holiday special. I know both season 1 and 2 where written before season 1′s release so I think it will be interesting to see how the writers take these characters now that they have fans perspective on them. No matter what happens I still like this show and I plan to keep drawing over the top mushy tervo and family fanart.
Thanks for reading my overly written rant!
