#if we REALLY wanna get into it. i think 'charlie' is also book only. so she COULD be named cassidy.

[nyatbinary-81]

okay. @evil-eyedlurker lets try this again since tumblr ate my last draft.

Part 1: Setting the Stage.

Before we begin, I'd like to recommend reading the book for yourself. There's a free copy here on archive.org. I'd also like to point to my previous post for some context if anyone reading this post is new here. You may also want to watch Dual Process Theory's take, as I agree with pretty much all of their arguments.

You have the appropriate context for this? Good.

Now then.

Within the logbook, there are three known writers: Red Pen, aka Michael Afton; Faded Text, aka Charlie Emily; and Altered Text, aka CC/Cassidy Afton.

There are also, however, three identifiable names: Mike, Cassidy, and Dave. Popular fanon will tell you that "Cassidy" is Faded, as well as being the Vengeful Spirit and the second Golden Freddy spirit. It will now also tell you that CC's name is Dave, previously mstaken to be Evan.

I am here to tell you that popular fanon is, as popular fanon tends to be, wildly off the mark.

As per my last post, I dismissed Cassidy as a little girl for two reasons: firstly, that she has no narrative significance before whenever the logbook takes place, and secondly, because Faded asks too many specific questions to be a stranger. The logbook came out after Pizzeria Sim, and introducing Cassidy as such an important character this late in the story is nonsensical.

But...my theory leaves out Dave. Who is Dave?

Put a pin in that for now. We'll get there. For now, let's talk about Michael Afton.

Part 2: Why?

In my last theory post, linked above, I asked a question that I found to be forgotten: why? Why does faded ask such specific questions? Why is there so much puppet symbolism? Why would CC know the name Cassidy? Why are there so many tidbits that never get mentioned?

I have some new ones today: Why is Mike here? Why are Charlie and Cassidy in his book? Why is the name Dave important?

For simplicity's sake, we'll start with why Charlie and CC are talking. Based on the imagery of the Puppet and birthdays on pages 31 and 98, as well as "The party was for you" (103), it's most likely to set up the Happiest Day, placing this before...whenever that happens. Before Pizzeria Sim, at least.

(Fig. 1: The Puppet/Happiest Day symbolism.)

So...if that's the goal, why is Mike important? Sure, he helps spell Cassidy's name, but only the last couple letters. And of all the available grids, "Dave" is spelt in the Foxy grid. The one animatronic that is associated with Mike.

(Fig. 2: Available grids.)

To me, this implies the name Dave is important for Michael to remember. But why?

...Why would Michael need to remember anything? Surely he remembers, right? I mean, he references the Nightmares and casual bongos and exotic butters and the Bite. Surely, surely that means he remembers!

(Fig. 3: Michael's references.)

Reread all his answers again, all throughout the book, knowing this takes place after Sister Location, during the time he's hunting down his father. Tell me what's missing. (Or you can trust me to tell you, I suppose.)

Mentions of his family, right?

In fact, he's not even the one to bring up the Bite. The logbook brings it up for him; he just responds to it.

Throughout the book, Mike is unresponsive and noncommittal. His doodles exist in the corners and margins, he rarely responds to either the book or Faded's questions directly, he even crosses out his own name. The only thing he repeatedly emphasizes throughtout the book is SURVIVAL. In all caps, SURVIVAL. CERTAIN DEATH.

(Fig. 4: Michael's scribblings as per the previous paragraph.)

Interestingly, he commonly writes about leaving leaving. Such as running away, locking up the animatronics, going on vacation, or dying. This directly contrasts his established desire to find his father, which implies he hasn't gotten that motivation yet.

Michael has been scooped by the time the Logbook happens. Michael, like most spirits, forgot. Forgot less than Cassidy and perhaps the MCI, for whatever reason, but forgot nonetheless.

And Charlie is here to help him remember, the same way she's helping Cassidy remember.

Specifically, she wants him to remember the name Dave, spelled out via the coordinates of the answered questions. The first one of which is answered by Michael, long before Cassidy says "I'm scared" as a potential alternate answer.

Part Three: Fandom Really Needs to Learn to Re-examine Fundamentals.

Take that pin out of "Who's Dave" and "Why is Dave important" from earlier, because it's time to answer those questions.

Okay. So, we've established a few things.

Dave is not one of the spirits in the logbook.

Charlie is pushing for Michael to remember the name Dave.

Michael has lost his memory, and has yet to gain the motive of finding his father.

If all of this is true, "Dave" must be connected to Michael's motivation: finding his father.

But we already know his name! William Afton, as established in...in......uh.........which game was it again? Sorry, hold on, let me just check my sources...*shuffling papers*...oh! Here we go! William Afton's name was established in the novels...and...and for the entirety of The Silver Eyes, he's referred to almost exclusively by his alias, Dave. To my knowledge, his first name is never confirmed in the games.

...What if we've been wrong in accepting that his name is William Afton? What if he is Dave, and it's not just an alias?

Allow me, once more, to set the scene.

Part Four: FNaF is a story. Let's treat it as such.

The date is [REDACTED], just after Michael's scooping. His corpse gets up without him, shambling around with metal for bones and vague remnants of children's souls for a pilot.

Michael himself is stuck in a security logbook; a paltry little thing given to him by his employers, like a twisted joke. He writes and crosses out his own name, and doodles in the margins for a bit.

Charlie, ever the attentive soul, joins him, bringing the Crying Child with her. Two brothers, one memory, or something like that. She begins gauging what he remembers: Does he know who he is? How he died?

Michael doesn't respond. He doesn't need to. It's not hard for Charlie to piece together what happened, especially given his shambling corpse ranting and raving about their revenge.

So, she begins to push Michael to remember his killer. She starts with the nightmares (do you have dreams), the first thing he did. She follows up with his resemblance to his father (what do you see), but Michael goes unresponsive, possibly catching on to her game. Ever the stubborn one, that. Instead, CC responds. So she switches gears, roping CC into helping her spell out both names by directing her questions to him, until Michael finally helps spell Cassidy.

Next to the wordsearch where Cassidy remembers is a mirror; one to reflect EVAD (spelled in CC answer order) into DAVE. Two brothers, one memory, as the saying doesn't go.

Michael's corpse lies cold and empty on the ground, Ennard having escaped into a gutter. He can't move on, not yet. There's only one option left for him now.

Michael looks into the mirror.

And his eyes open purple.

also it would be really funny if davetrap had an alias in the games timeline and it was william/will miller THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT!

Breaking Dawn has always read like a fanfiction to me. I'm aware this has probably to do with the fact, that Forever Dawn was written before New Moon and Eclipse, and SMeyer just rewrote some pieces of it.

But this made me think - most fans probably have an idea of how they would have liked the story of Bella and Edward to end and those endings might all be a little, or even very different. What would your perfect ending for the Saga look like? You can place it after any point of the story - just after the first book, in the middle of New Moon, around the end of Eclipse, wherever you want.

It really does have a lot of fanfic-y tropes. The big wedding. The over-the-top tropical honeymoon. This is an 18-year-old middle class girl getting married here. Sure the Cullens are rich but she's not an actual princess or something, this always felt hugely over the top to me in a fanfic-y way. And then the baby, of course. It does tick a lot of boxes of the sort of fanfic that imagines what happens after the book/movie/show where the main couple get married and have a kid.

For me, vampirism without consequences is just completely uninteresting. Bella getting to have her cake and eat it too not only undermines all the themes in the earlier books and makes Edward's brooding about being a vampire seem like unnecessary whining, it's also just boring.

So my ideal ending is an actual follow up to Eclipse. Bella and Edward follow through on their compromise plan: wedding, sex, and vampirism in that order. There's no baby; Bella is turned on Isle Esme and spends a few months there on a secluded island with no people (the groundskeepers are given time off FFS Edward can clean the house) eating wildlife and adjusting to vampirism.

But she actually has to like, adjust. It IS has hard as people told her it was. She can still do well at it, but with struggle. I mean, Carlisle never killed anyone either but he did it by banishing himself to the woods and starving to the point that he unthinkingly attacked some deer. I believe it was hard and he struggled and so his triumph feels earned. Bella can still control herself better than average but I wanna see her struggle with it, versus like, one tense afternoon with Charlie and then totally being fine around humans and going to see lawyers in a sexy outfit, no problem. That felt anticlimactic.

Also there should be some fallout with Jake, and she should probably have to cut ties with Charlie and Renee. She MADE this choice to become a vampire knowing she was giving these things up, so for Breaking Dawn to be like "Nevermind! Haha!" about it was deeply unsatisfying. It killed the conflict and tension for Jacob and Charlie to still be part of her life and accepting of the weirdness of it.

For me, the whole point was Bella was sacrificing a lot to be with Edward. That is where the romance and angst lies. Getting to be beautiful and immortal and rich and powerful AND with the person you love AND keep your father and best friend AND get a perfect baby who never cries and sleeps through the night AND conquer the bloodlust in like 2 seconds was just . . . boring. All the stuff I had been interested in seeing how it would resolve was resolved in just the easiest, least interesting way possible. A perfect example: the wedding. We're told that Renee is going to freak out about this early marriage and even THAT relatively unimportant conflict is just instantly resolved with "actually, Renee's totally on board!!!!" Snore!

So yeah. Bella is turned on the honeymoon. It's hard. She cuts off ties with Charlie; maybe she fakes her death, maybe she just disappears. Jacob refuses to talk to her, but Sam is like "whatever she made her choice we're not going to start a war over this." And in this way Bella is actually cut off from her human life and has to start over with the new family and new life she chose. We probably have to resolve the Volturi situation somehow; maybe a trip to Volterra to prove she's been turned and some conflict with the Volturi comes into play.

But ultimately I just want an epilogue where she comes back to Forks with Edward to check in on Charlie and Jacob from a distance. She watches Charlie with Sue (or someone else) playing with step-grandbabies, she sees Jacob, who has stopped phasing and is aging and married with kids of his own, and it's hard. It's sad to see them going on without her. And Edward looks at her like he's about to apologize for the 239470242th time for robbing her of a human life and she's like, "No, the life I have with you is worth it," because THAT's the vibe! That's where the romance is! Her being happy in BD means nothing because it was all so easy for her! Her being happy despite the downsides of vampirism is where the romance lies!

we've gotten to the part of the intro post where im wondering if this is way to much information so sorry if I overshared idk but hope we can be silly mutuals or friends if you want (never be scared to shoot the friendship shot I would love to yap with y'all)

also since this is taking over my other pinned post I just want to put this as an honorary spot and let everyone know that my old pinned post was a quote from radio silence and that Aled last is me and I am him and the February Friday plot line is actually me and it makes me sick how much I resonate with that book

[diamondocean001]

Ask and you shall receive

Hazbin Hotel, Lucifer x reader

This one's kinda short

(Idk what this is. I had a small idea and ran with it... now we have this)

Bit fluff.

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

Silk sheets lay on the bed beneath you as you read your book, faint music playing in the background.

Lucifer was out.

He got really excited earlier. Something about Charlie inviting him to visit. As much as you wanted to meet the princess, you figured it wad best for some long needed father-daughter time. You'll have other opportunities.

The door to your shared room opened and you glanced up, immediately breathless from the beautiful man before you.

He held his hat in his hand, his blonde hair slightly messy. Lucifer put his hat on the table and took of his suit jacket before approaching the bed. He layed down, instantly planting his head on your lap.

"Hey," He muttered, tiredly.

You chuckled softly, putting your book down and running your fingers through his hair.

"Hi. How was your day?"

He groaned tiredly.

"Fine. Saw Charlie. Made up. Drained my battery."

You chuckled again.

"I see."

The King of Hell may be a stupidly powerful fallen angel, but in your presence he acted like a child sometimes. Not that you complained; he's adorable like that.

You pulled him closer, his head resting on your chest as he let out a satisfied hum. Playing with his soft locks, you hummed a soft tune.

Lucifer wrapped his arms around you, nuzzling further into your body. He listened quietly to your song, fighting off the sleep as he did so.

"You should sleep, baby."

He needed no more to be said before he drifted off.

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

You were gone.

Lucifer woke up, expecting to be in your embrace, and you were gone.

He would be panicking of you hadn't left a note saying you were going to make breakfast.

Still, the man's heart can't manage it.

He was also in sleepwear. Did you change him whilst he was asleep?

The door opened to reveal you, looking like you'd only woken up ten minutes ago. A tray was in your hands, two plates of pancakes upon it.

As you approached, Lucifer latched onto your waist, pulling you into his body and burying his face into your hair.

"You scared me."

"Sorry." You mumbled, stroking his hair.

You gave him his pancakes, laying in each others embrace as you ate. The TV was playing softly in the background and Lucifer still clung to you like a lost puppy.

Once you'd finished eating, none of you could be bothered to move. You played with Lucifer's hair, your fingers brushing the soft strands, as he held you gainst him.

"Luci? We should probably get up. Don't you have things to do?"

He grumbled in protest.

"Don't wanna. I want to stay with you, darling."

You sighed softly, but didn't fight him. Perhaps you both deserved a break.

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

(I'm thinking about opening requests soon but I'll go into more detail in my next post)

alright besties, prepare yourselves.

it's time for:

Why I Personally Believe That The MCI + Charlie's Death Happened PRE-1983

(tl;dr - there's things from Fnaf 4 that have been haunting me for years, i don't really like the books (for several reasons), and i actually think it would make MORE sense if the MCI + Charlie were the first deaths)

alright. let me lay out things in order here:

Number 1: "But...we already have a death year, it's 1985!"

okay...let me put this as simply as i can:

first off, The Novels: these are the books where Charlie's a robot. along with other weird shit.

second, Into The Pit: not only is the Incident described completely differently, it's. The Fazbear Frights books. there's a lot of shit in there that, while some of it may connect to the games, i'd personally argue that most of it doesn't. Need I Point To Fazgoo?

also: the books and games are supposed to be separate universes to my knowledge. while events and things may line up, not everything is gonna be exactly the same.

ALSO ALSO: in the movies, the year is 1987. the death year is 1987. if that's not some evidence for the MCI year potentially being inconsistent by universe, then i don't know what is. Why Would They Make The Movie's MCI Year Different When They Could've Confirmed It?

Number 2: The Weirdness Of The Fredbear Plush

before i hear anyone say "But It's William Speaking Through A Walkie-Talkie!" please just listen to me on this

while i do agree that this has a lot of evidence behind it...there are still things that William speaking through the plushie just...doesn't really explain. to me, anyway.

for example...why does it seem to teleport? specifically stuff like it Being A Flower and suddenly ending up in the sewers.

also...this thing seems to know more about CC than i think William would like. logically be able to know, even if he was using the plush to spy on him. plus...we SEE William in the Fnaf 4 minigames...helping someone into a suit. we see nothing like a walkie-talkie with him, and if he were trying to keep an eye on CC...why aren't we shown that? he seems more concerned with helping another employee than keeping an eye on his son. also, if William's trying to keep CC away from animatronics to keep him safe, as is the common belief with this theory...why would he tell his son to go run past the animatronics to find help? especially if he's, y'know....RIGHT THERE??

also...you know what CC's running away from? someone in a springlock suit. and whoever is talking to him specifically says something along the lines of "You know what will happen if he catches you!" which....why would William say that? why would William imply that something bad's gonna happen to CC if CC gets caught by that guy? when, for all we know (and is most likely), he's just doing his job?

unless, of course...whoever is talking to CC was "caught" by someone in a springlock suit and then hurt/killed afterwards, and they're trying to make sure that the same fate doesn't befall him, too.

i also saw a guy mention this in a theory, but...we also don't see the plushie in this scene at all. which could also imply that it's not a walkie-talkie or anything, but maybe a spirit.

also, the final cutscene of Fnaf 4: one thing that never made sense to me was the "WE are still your friends" comment. if this is William...for one thing, if it WAS William the whole time...he's also been telling his son this whole time that his older brother, Michael, hates him. if the 'We' he's referring to is him and Michael...then we already have a problem. but the 'We' he's referring to also can't be CC's other plushies; William can't see into CC's mind, and thus can't know what's going in CC's last moments. he doesn't know that CC is watching his plushies fade into darkness, how could he?

so...who do i think is speaking through the plush? long story short; whoever the Golden Freddy/Fredbear MCI kid is.

heck, if you wanna argue that the SLIGHTLY different text colors for Fredbear in the final cutscene mean that someone else is talking, i can still explain it! that's Charlie. think about it, it would still make sense if it were her! she's the one who 'gave life' to the other kids, and that's effectively what the speaker in that cutscene is promising CC.

also, if the plushies represent the other MCI kids, as this theory implies...this means that CC probably knew them all before they died. making his comment about his plushies, "These are my friends," that much more depressing.

this also gives a potential explanation for "What [CC] saw"...but we'll get there in a bit.

Number 3: The Pigtail Girl Dialogue's Been Haunting Me

let me start out with what the Pigtail Girl Dialogue is, for those unaware:

"You'd better watch out! I hear they come to life at night. And if you die, they hide your body and never tell anyone. Why do you look so worried? See you at the party! Ha ha ha!" (< you'll understand what the bolded part is for later, trust me)

i've seen a couple of different explanations for this:

one is that she's referring to springlock suits, specifically that the kids saw people being helped into the suits and that this is where the rumors started.

another is that she's referring to a springlock failure, and that the "hiding bodies" part is referring to the company covering it up.

but here's the thing...neither of these would explain how the "come to life at night" part of the rumor started. because these would've likely been things witnessed during the day.

like, i've seen no one bring up this whole thing at all. there's not a lot of explanations i've seen that explain what PG could be referencing with this that are more satisfying than her referencing the animatronics moving around and killing guards post-MCI. like?? why do people not talk about this??

Number 4: "But isn't Afton's motive-?" SHUT.

FIRST OFF, WE DON'T TECHNICALLY KNOW WHAT AFTON'S ACTUAL MOTIVE IS. WE'VE HAD TO GUESS WHAT IT IS.

like!! in the Novels, i don't think it's fully explained what Afton's motive for Charlie's murder was. maybe it was, but i've never heard it.

in the games, we're not even given too much indication of a potential motive for Afton. we just have to guess it was the Bite of '83, and it was either his grief or desire to bring his son from the dead that motivated him (at least at first).

i've only really seen it recently where theorists seem to finally be bringing up that perhaps William was just...always fucked up. maybe he never needed a reason, he just did it because he could.

heck, some people have headcanoned that William was just drunk and pissed off the night that Charlie died, and i've seen it range from William accidentally hit her while drunk driving and that's what killed her, to William just being in a drunken rage that night and he just. killed her, maybe before he even realized what he'd done. maybe he was pissed at Henry, who the fuck knows.

long story short, no, we technically don't have a clear motive for William.

Number 5: "But how could Fredbear's still be open? Wouldn't the suits still be in use? How did no one find the body?"

okay, hear me out:

William Moved The Body Somewhere Else.

like...we've got implications that the GF MCI kid might've been springlocked and killed (Fredbear's twitching in UCN is...incredibly similar to Springtrap's twitching in Fnaf 3. both in the trailer and in the minigame where he gets springlocked).

so it's a possibility that William springlocked the kid and then dumped the body somewhere else.

other thing that points to this: the empty suit that either seems to have wires or hair sticking out. i think Dual Process Theory pointed out that if these were wires, then we would've also seen them on the Springbonnie suit that William was helping the employees into. so of course, that then points those things sticking out being hairs.

also, the Fredbear MCI kid's death always seems to be implied to be different somehow. in the "Give Gifts, Give Life" minigame, the fifth kid isn't seen until the end, where they teleport in from seemingly nowhere. it's almost like, for some reason, the fifth kid wasn't there with the other kids at Freddy's, and they had died somewhere else, but were connected to the MCI anyway due to the similarities in their case.

Number 6: "But the Faz-Tokens-" S H U T.

i actually have another way to explain why the tokens would say 1983! and this is actually an idea i got from a friend of mine when we talked about it irl.

the idea is that Freddy's didn't necessarily open in 1983, but that 1983 is when the company specifically was founded.

my friend said that it could've been a thing where Freddy's didn't have their own personal tokens for the arcade at the time, but once they got enough money and Fazbear Entertainment as a company was created in 1983, then they could make these little custom tokens.

so long story short: the tokens have another potential explanation.

Number 7: Other Reasons For This Version Of The Timeline To Make Sense

the MCI is always described as taking place "many years ago," or treated like it's been quite a while since they happened. even in Fnaf 2, Phone Guy just says says that they left the "old place" to rot for "quite a while," but...that's still vague. why not make it more specific in the games? why not put dates on the newspapers?

i am of the opinion that the newspaper articles we see in Fnaf 1 are all close in date, considering that the first two mention the MCI and the third mentions the blood and mucus...but i think that the fourth newspaper article was printed later than the others. specifically, that one was written when the original location closed in 1985. why do i think this? because the final newspaper refers to the MCI as taking place "many years ago." but why would it not be about the closure of the Fnaf 1 location? well, a couple of reasons:

for one, the newspaper immediately before it references the whole "blood and mucus" thing. normally, i'd think that this was just the kids doing paranormal stuff to get someone to find/discover their bodies...but it also mentions mucus. blood by itself is one thing, that can be written off as something paranormal. blood and mucus implies that this is from where the bodies were starting to decay a little bit. at the time when Fnaf 1 was taking place, the blood would've dried a long time ago, and likely any mucus, too. and we see nothing like Paranormal Blood-Leakage in Fnaf 1, so i'm taking this as a sign that this newspaper was written around the time of the initial incident.

another thing is that if the other three articles are all about the MCI at around the time it happened...wouldn't it be odd for there to just be an article amongst them that's much closer to present time than the others?

so yeah, long story short: the MCI happening pre-1983 even fits with how the Incident is described in canon as being "many years ago."

Finally, All Together Now:

here's the timeline with this thing -

at some point, pre-1983 (perhaps a year or two before), William was driving home from a bar, incredibly drunk. for reasons that aren't entirely clear, Charlie is locked outside of either of Freddy's or Fredbear's, depending on where you think the Puppet was at the time. William kills Charlie while he's drunk, either by accidentally hitting her/running her over, or by getting out and killing her. she is left/dumped in the alley afterwards and then goes on to possess the Puppet, who crawled outside to find her.

after this, for unclear reasons, William kills again, first killing four children at Freddy's (potentially unbeknownst to him, friends of his youngest son), before killing a fifth at Fredbear's by springlocking them.

however, his youngest son ended up witnessing this murder, and it traumatized him (maybe William had been in the suit, and that's why CC only seems traumatized by the animatronics specifically. he not only witnessed one of his friends getting springlocked, but he saw another animatronic responsible for the murder) (< yes, this is the thing i was implying earlier)

^ whether William was aware of this is up to you.

William disposes of the body so that nobody who used the suit would find them.

however, the fifth MCI kid would not just haunt the suit like the others. they possessed the Fredbear plush to communicate with their friend and keep him safe...hopefully.

fast forward to the Fnaf 4 minigames: Michael bullies his brother, and CC is faced with constant reminders of the loss of his friends, with rumors spreading about the animatronics at Freddy's coming to life at night and killing guards, only for the deaths to be covered up by the company. all the while, the spirit of one of his friends watches over him.

then Michael fucks up, leaving CC in the hospital.

in his coma, either the spirit of the Fredbear MCI kid or Charlie come to him, promising to help him. as Michael tearfully apologizes to his dying brother, CC is comforted by being told that his friends still care for him, that they're still there. and the spirit talking to him promises to put him back together. in the only way they know how to.

he flatlines, but goes on to possess Fredbear with the MCI kid.

anyway, that's just my thoughts on Pre-1983 MCI, at least in the canon games. this ain't about my Rewrite.

( @that-darn-clown and @hello-there-world incase either of y'all want to see this :] )

[obsidianpen]

You know who I miss in hp that no one really remembers? Firenze even it the books we didn't get to see what happened to him after fifth year and honestly the centaurs were such an interesting addition who played semi-important roles in both fifth year (fucking um bitch got the karma+big brother Hagrid ) AND ANDD in the final battle after all hell breaks lose! I wanna know both in NG and in Incendiary, will we get to see more of them? it was in the final battle where centaurs join in and really light that spark needed for harry to escape but NG cuts off the final battle, so what happened to them? Just waiting in the forest? Looking at the stars and thinking this was not supposed to happen? Or did they know what was gonna happen and unlike canon did not even go there? Also this got me thinking...what's Voldemort stance on magical creatures ? Werewolfs were/are? his allies? but what about others like goblins or centaurs or Giants? is that gonna come up soon? honestly Harry is so cut off from the whole world rn we have no idea what Mr.V has done so far... erasing emotions is scary and not something that I feel likes is just gonna sit in the corner of the plot like a good lil boi so many ppl we haven't seen yet or only heard about them from others... McGonagall, shacklebolt, Arthur! bill, charlie, Fleur, TEDDY AND ANDROMEDA!!! Dean and wait is Lavender Alive? You saved Fred but like is Lavander dead dead? if so where tf is Grayback? cuz Harry aint gonna be happy with that... also poor Neville's funeral (Im the same anon who read hauntingly before it was even finished via some pdf at 4 a.m and cried so much when writing that post lol idk if you remember XD) and I forgot to ask you! how do you feel about us reading some of your deleted works via pdfs? I do not know whether to feel guilt or joy ? (anyway what happened was that I still can't read hauntingly past that chapter...and I was so so sooo mad at Snape and Neville, I detested them from the bottom of my heart so bad that I had to re-read both Nevilles death in NG and Snapes canon death for 3 days straight just to calm down a bit lmao) anyway I wonder what will her grandmothers reaction be to Harry explaining what happend

( I feel like I wrote a huge pile of messy stuff thrown together sorryyy :<)

Firenze!!! I hadn’t thought about him a ton either tbh but I will now! about the old pdfs - eh, I guess I’ve made peace knowing that it happens and there’s nothing I can do about it 🥲 like I dont love it but it’s all right, I am very neutral about it now

Common Ground (Part 2)

With a weird revelation. Vaggie figures why the hell not, see how much they have in common and answer some questions that made her curious. ------ Lucius: So.. What'd we do now since you and I are up here and you're intending to stick around till I come inside. Vaggie: Questions, if you don't mind answering them. Lucius: Don't judge if you don't like what you hear though. Vaggie: Fair, why do you think I don't like you. Lucius: My first interactions definitely don't help. Vaggie: You we're looking out for Charlie, can't blame you for that. Lucius: That and experiences of my own but and don't get this wrong I got a vibe you we're hiding more then you let on. Vaggie: I know, I'm a bad liar remember. Lucius: The horrible lies wasn't what got you down here, it was actually what got you in heaven though. Vaggie: What do you mean? Lucius: It just felt off, when Charlie was offering you a chance to come with her in a place she knew nothing about and instead of being right by her side you opted out. Which was very out of character for you. You're way more protective of her in new situations. Vaggie: You we're there. Lucius: And when has that stopped you before. Did you know Adam was going to be in that first meeting. The one dad sent her too instead of doin it himself. Vaggie: Would you judge me if I said yes. If he saw me there was no doubt he'd figure me out. Lucius: Would have benefited you and Charlie more if you got it out of the way sooner. Vaggie: That gives me another question, you found out I was an exorcist and your first thought wasn't to rip me apart. Lucius: Ooh it was one of my many thoughts and even more so after Adam outed you in front of everyone. Vaggie: Why didn't you. Lucius: Same as always. I know Charlie, she was hurt and angry sure but she'd be far more hurt and angry at me if I so much as shoved you to the floor and that was also tempting. I knew she'd forgive you with time. Otherwise she'd be an even bigger hypocrite but hey Charlie is all about forgiveness.. Vaggie: It must have really ticked you off when she sent you with me to Carmilla's. Lucius: It did, I hate leaving her alone with Alastor, bad enough I slipped away long enough for that fucker to get a deal out of her. Soul or not but I also had another reason to go with you. Vaggie: Why? Lucius: I was pissed, Clara knew what her mother had done for months and didn't even try to send me any word of it. I would have taken the fall for that kill just so I knew I'd have the info. I know why she hid it but fuck did it annoy me that it costed us a damn favor to that asshole. Vaggie: She say why? Lucius: Clara mentioned her mom didn't want a war to break out because she was scared of losing the only family she had which is fair but I was blinded by my own anger to look out for my family and yes that includes you by proxy. Vaggie: Well don't I feel loved. On the bright side though, Guess the Carmine's and the Morningstars are family now. Lucius: We'll see. I still haven't found out yet but I'm going to see and tell her tomorrow. I can't leave this off too long no matter how much it worries me. Vaggie: You think they'll really kill you? Lucius: Partly but it's more I'm worried we'll stop talking again. It took me so long to build up that nerve to talk and even longer for us to be okay again. I don't wanna lose her or them a second time, first time was partly my fault too and I don't want to do this again. Vaggie: ..Is it okay to ask about your past with them. Lucius: We'll be here a while, I hope you realize that. Vaggie: Charlie's asleep and she could sleep through a hell storm, we both know that. Lucius: *Snorts* Yeah she can. Alright get comfy then and I'll roughly explain how this shit started, blew up and.. yeah. Vaggie: Wait what gave me away if it wasn't the lies. Lucius: Well we have a book of sinners and I couldn't find your name or the name they have when they enter hell, on it. Vaggie: ..You have a what?! Lucius: Yeah I check that thing daily. Charlie tends to forget it, I'll explain just sit tight.

amazing hugs!! not often, but they are healing

that time i was having a really stressful day and he hugged me and i immediately cried

his love language is 1000% touch

very talented at music, he can play guitar, sax and a little bit of drums

we're polar opposites but will match energy when needed

knows when to be hyperactive and when to be chill and quiet

i watched him pick Charlie up and shake him and nearly peed myself laughing

we both have an affinity for latin

we have secret conversations in latin sometimes <3

about a week after we first met he asked Charlie if I was dating anyone but made him promise not to tell me (which didn't last long)

when we met i complimented his glasses and he blushed and went "thank you, i need them to see. i like your freckles."

he did not realize how hilarious of a response that was until later

falling asleep on his shoulder when we're up late studying <3

GETTING PRINCESS CARRIED!!!!!

he always wants to carry me places. who needs legs honestly

flustering him is so easy and i love to do it because it's so funny

trying to teach him how to dance and he trips over his own feet

Masterlist

*btw, Yile is pronounced as Yi Le (in Chinese pronunciation), it is not supposed to rhyme with Kyle

Part 4: Green

Yile’s POV:

Life was getting more consistent. Yile would wake up, have breakfast and a cup of coffee, attend casting calls, work meetings and look through scripts. After all that, she would gym, go grocery shopping, talk with Xinhui and do a rigorous skincare regime. Maybe squeeze in journaling if she felt like it. She loved feeling productive.

She sighed for the nth time that day.

“Boy problems?” Xinhui questioned.

Yile sighed in response. “I don’t know what to do Xinhui! Minghao asked to be friends two days ago. I’m still not sure what to tell him.”

“Why though?”

“Because I’m afraid that people would misunderstand! He’s a K-pop idol for goodness sake! Everyone knows that some fans, no matter how understanding, would turn their backs if they knew that their oppa had a female friend.”

“Seventeen has plenty of female friends though?”

“Yea I know. The other problem is, I might like him a tiny bit more than just friends. I don’t know if I can handle being just friends with him. I don’t wanna ruin things you know. I want to be honest with him from the start and not lead him on.”

“How noble of you.” Xinhui commented wryly.

Now that Minghao had made the first move, he had gained an extra point in Yile’s book. His confidence was appealing. During the events, Yile became more and more certain of her feelings for him. Whenever she caught him staring at her in the events with the most ridiculous puppy eyes, her heart strained to stay still. Even as she was mingling around, his eyes were still glued to her. This was all so heart-wrenching and tiring and painful.

“What should I do Xinhui” Yile was ready to pull her hair out in frustration.

Minghao’s POV:

During his break, Minghao was anxiously scrolling on social media. Why hadn’t Yile replied to his message? It had been two days. Alright, it was only two days. But TWO days?? Were people this indecisive in accepting a friendship?

Vernon sauntered over to him. “Whatcha thinking? You look constipated.”

“Just waiting for a reply.” Minghao sighed.

“From the girl you told me about yesterday?”

Minghao nodded. Vernon brows knit together in deep thought.

“Since you gave her two possible answers, could it be that her reply isn’t any of them?” Vernon offered.

A lightbulb went off in Minghao’s mind. His friend was a genius. But why would she have a different answer than yes and no? He asked his friend so.

”Maybe she wants something more than friends?”

Or something less than friends, Minghao thought sadly.

“Hoi, don’t think so lowly of yourself Minghao!”, Vernon spoke. “Nobody in their right minds would reject your offer. I can say from firsthand experience that you are a really good friend and that anyone who thinks otherwise is well, dumb.” Minghao smiled at his friend’s passion. “Thanks for encouraging me.” “Anytime man.”

As they went back to filming, Minghao’s phone pinged.

Yile’s POV:

“I can do this. I will do this. I am doing this.” Yile said under her breath. Her fans on Instagram were also awaiting updates on what she was doing so this wouldn’t be too “out of character”.

Heartstopper season 2 play-by-play analysis

Still in Paris, and things get haute in different ways. Between Nick and Charlie, between Nick and Ben, between Tara and Darcy, and between Tao and Elle (ooh la la). A lot of healthy communication, a lot of bold attempts at communication, and a few plot twists.

On with l'episode!

EPISODE 5 - HEAT

- Poor Nick double-texted his dad, and no reply. Do better, Stephane.

- “Did I do that?” “I didn’t even know how to do that.” Well, you know now, Nick.

- Tao freaking out at Nick for giving Charlie a hickey. “We will be having words”. Will Gao’s facial expressions are peak comedy.

- “I blame Nick entirely.” “That’s fair.” I love how casual Nick is, like “yeah, my mouth did that, no doubt about it, guilty over here”.

- Elle, you can't just go around being lovely and flawless and stylish like that... ugh, you need to staaahp...

- “It wasn’t just his fault, I was also involved.” “Uuuuuurgh, no need for gory details”. He’s such a dad! Tao, this is your fault for leaving the room, you shouldn’t have trusted your children to keep their hands off each other.

- I’m amused by the performative teasing from the straight boys, who are all probably a bit jealous because they are nowhere near getting or giving hickeys, so…

- You know who is more than a bit jealous? Ben in the back there, staring longingly. Like he really doesn’t care that he got called out last night for his starkly obvious obsession with Charlie, or getting dumped for it, because he’s still not entirely discreet about it.

- Nick is definitely the boyfriend that carries all the things. “I’ll pack you a croissant.” That’s an ‘I love you’ right there. Nick is the acts of service boyfriend.

- A lot of green today too, on Charlie’s sweater, and Nick’s t-shirt, and Tao’s butterfly print (of course he’s wearing butterflies), and Jame’s jacket.

- Poor James being dragged into it. Which is worse when you find out that he used to have a crush on Charlie. I love how he tells all the boys “it wasn’t me”, and they just stare at him as neutral as possible, because they all obviously know who it was.

- Benny Ben, what was that look? Are you reaching your breaking point? Meanwhile, Imogen looking fresh and cute, we love to see it. Also Charlie looks extra cute today too, green suits him very much, but also his curls are like perfect (yeah, we’re all obsessed with Charlie, Ben. You’re nothing special, Ben.)

- What the hell is this system that the teachers used to assign the couples? Very random but also very convenient. It was probably Mr Farouk wanting to watch some drama unfold. He knows Ben and Nick don’t like each other, and he’s just stirring the pot.

- “Sir, I don’t wanna go with Nick Nelson.” “I don’t give a rat’s arse, rude boy.” Mr Farouk is a legend. And Imogen watching, very satisfied that Ben doesn’t get his way.

- Love Isaac calling out Harry, and love that he actually got through to him, and we’re all here for it. “Where’s your basic human empathy?” “Leave it out, book boy.” I love that the only thing he could come up about Isaac at that moment is his love of books, like it’s an insult…? Didn’t expect to get called out, and by book boy of all people, did you, Harry?

- James interrogating Charlie about Isaac. Heart.

- And Tara attempting again to talk to Darcy about feelings, and Darcy deflecting left and right. Poor Darcy, she’s so stressed about it.

- Here’s one of the very few things that didn’t quite click with me in the expansion of the Ben storyline, but it actually might fit perfectly with him and the way that we have seen him before. He’s so preoccupied with Charlie or Nick outing him, and he wants to appear so tough, that he doesn’t realize that he might be the one blowing his own cover. In his conversations with Nick, he’s so loud when he says that Nick is just jealous because Charlie liked him first, or that he might want Charlie back, that I kept thinking “either something’s going to happen with this, or they expect me to believe that he’s being discreet”, but maybe it was the latter. Or maybe it’s, as I mentioned before, that Ben has been so preoccupied with the idea that people might be paying attention to him all the time, which resulted in him being an asshole to Charlie, only for all of that to crumble now.

- “What if I said that I want Charlie back?” The way that Nick closes his eyes, like he’s so tired, he’s so done with Ben. He keeps blaming Nick for what happened with Charlie, and he keeps making excuses, and keeps comparing himself to Nick, and it must be so stressful for Nick, to have to deal with that on top of everything else, on top of the hickey, on top of everyone talking about Charlie, and on top of his own stress about coming out.

- “At least I was nice enough not to give him a hickey where everyone could see.” The thing about this comment from Ben is that, not only is he comparing his relationship to Charlie with Nick’s relationship to Charlie, but he still thinks that, like him, Nick won’t come out and his goal is to continue the relationship in secret. So Ben somehow rationalizes that he was a better choice of partner for Charlie because he “managed to keep the secret” (which he didn’t, really, because Nick caught them, and in the worst scenario). Meanwhile he’s still choosing to ignore all the other reasons why he was absolutely not a good partner for Charlie. Or Imogen. Or anyone.

- Did Heartstopper also manage to shut down the Eiffel Tower??? Well done, production team.

- Tara being a doll and holding Imogen’s hand because Imogen is scared of heights (or something like that). That whole Eiffel Tower scene was flawless.

- “Let’s get a selfie for my mum.” “She’s gonna love that.” He’s such a mamma’s boy, love him for that.

- The “Hey Nick, is that hickey from you then?” “What if it was? You jealous?” scene going directly from page to screen flawlessly.

- “Did Harry just stick up for us?” “I think he did.” Yes, he did, and you have life coach Isaac Henderson to thank for that.

- “You, um, you do know… it was me, right?” Then glances down at Charlie’s lips… Good job, Nicholas, top rate flirting on the Eiffel tower, Nicholas.

- I do like that they changed from Aled (or in this case Isaac) telling Charlie that Tao outed him, and instead having Tao own up to it himself. It’s probably been sitting with him for so long, and the reason why he’s so protective, and why he lost his shit that morning about the hickey, because much like Tori, he worries about Charlie being bullied again, but he’s also feeling so guilty about it. But that whole conversation about their friendship, and the little flashback to them being kids, ugh, so adorable.

- “Even if you make mistakes sometimes, you’re a good person who deserves love”. Ugh Charlie, my precious.

- Also, how cute that we’ve gotten Nick and Tara and Charlie and Tao childhood flashbacks so far, and I wonder if we’ll get more (I don’t know how these things are handled, if any one can share, because I’m assuming that, if we got a flashback to Elle as a younger child, she would be presenting as a boy… how would that be handled? What about the name? But I’d love to see a Darcy flashback, an Isaac flashback, a Tori flashback, an Imogen flashback, a Sahar flashback… the possibilities are endless now…)

- Love them, love their friendship, love how friendships are given the same importance as romantic relationships. And I love how secure in his sexuality Tao is, that he will hug and kiss Charlie and not worry about what people might say.

- Give me more Darcy being confused about her expectations vs reality. “Are we really underwater? Then why can’t we see any fish?” “That’s the Mona Lisa??? That’s it? It’s rubbish!!! It’s this big…” “I’d be so mugged off if I posed for a painting and they just painted the back of my head…”

- I love how Elle internalizes what Nick said, and what Imogen said the day before, and just realized that her and Tao don’t need to be perfect or long term, but if she doesn’t take the chance she will never find out. So she just goes for it.

- “He genuinely thinks he still has a chance of getting back with you.” “He doesn’t.” I’m sad that Charlie sounded so reassuring and relaxed, but he was already trying to hide that he was starting to feel weak and ill.

- Either Charlie called Nick much louder, or that’s just how in tune with him Nick is all the time. And anyone who’s ever fainted knows what it feels and sounds like, and it’s exactly like this. Also the feeling of regaining consciousness and feeling absolutely disoriented, and like you can’t hear well… horrible.

- I love the little homage to The Princess Diaries, with Elle’s foot popping up. And they really are the most stylish couple.

- The teachers, oh my god‼! Mr Farouk humoring Mr Ajayi by doing the pose perfectly. And then Mr Farouk holding out for a fist bump and him actually smiling.

- "I want to understand." Nick fucking Nelson really set the bar way too fucking high for all teenage boyfriends.

- "You are not rejecting the croissant that I lovingly carried for you all day." Heart.

- Also Nick teasing Charlie for blushing about Nick speaking French.

- I loved the live-action playing out of Nick teasing Charlie and pushing him to the floor. With the grumpy French guard (who apparently is played by director Euros Lyn) being like “no hanky-panky in the museum!”

- Actually they’re both setting the bar way too high for teenage relationships, with their healthy communication and their caring so much about each other. Aspirational.

[eatinurgutz]

oh my love, you’re ok! 🤍 i am so glad… ive been painfully worried about you the past few days. i haven’t been able to make it too clear since ive been busy.. but I really have been so so worried. :( i hope you’re doing better, and i hope things are ok for you right now. 🤍

the idea of having fun together and doing things together is so so.. wonderful. even just parallel play, or just talking while we play games together… im getting butterflies just speaking about it. 🤍 there is a little bit of a problem with venting to you, my dear.. it would probably give me away, as i tend to vent quite a bit in love letter, and even sometimes on my tumblr. not a crazy amount, id like to think. but there’s a chance it would give me away. but, either way, i appreciate you offering that to me my dear. once you know who i am, i will tell you everything. 🤍

do not fret about short responses or late responses my dear. as long as we get to speak. as long as i know that you’ve seen me. 🤍 i know you’ve been struggling my dear, i really have been missing watching you on love letter and on tumblr. :( but you are back, and well. that’s all that matters. that’s adorable, we could be little ghost buddies together! 🤍 endlessly wandering the world together.. how romantic.

oh my dear, you aren’t “lucky”. you are the way you are, and that’s why i am here. this isn’t a stroke of luck.. you are yourself, and that’s why i am here. in my eyes you are perfect, despite any flaws. my heart yearns to know more about you, honestly more about all of you… i do know you’re part of a system. ^^ i have only been addressing you, nik, but if i am to be an important part of your life one day; i would like to get to know everyone. 🤍

oh my goodness.. you’re imagining a future with me. 🤍 i could melt. you are absolutely wonderful. i just want to fall to my knees and hold onto you and never let go.. cuddling, i would absolutely love to cuddle with you. of course i care enough.. you are my muse. you made me start writing again, you caused me to believe in love again.. i remember when you got your first anon on love letter (i believe it was your first.. i can’t quite remember. i was not an og member of love letter). i was so angry. i just watched on the sidelines.. “why couldn’t it be me?” “only i can be that for nik.” now im here.. writing you letters. haha, i guess i ended up being right. she wasn’t good for you.. but i am, my dear. 🤍

im glad you like reading!! maybe i can buy you some books. do you have an amazon wish list? i also quite enjoy reading, though ive been slacking.

oh my gosh.. i absolutely love Christmas, which means i love Christmas movies. i think i do prefer the more cartoony ones.. i love a Charlie Brown Christmas. My all time favorite is Nightmare before Christmas.. yes i count it as a Christmas movie, so what? :(

oooo, questions from my muse 🤍 ill do my best.

1. my timezone is CST.

2. i actually don’t watch too much anime.. but if i did have to choose, i love saiki k. it’s one of the only anime’s i regularly watch.. there are so many that ive been recommended that i need to see. i also remember watching haikyuu.. that was quite good.

3. i actually already gave it away in this letter.. Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. maybe it’s just nostalgia.. maybe it’s the fact that christmas is such a family-oriented time of year.. it brings me so much joy.

thank you so much, my dear. i wait patiently for your response. 🤍

love, coco ☕️

I'm sorry i have had you worried about me! I've been busy as well, so it's okay if you get busy! I know. . I would love to do absolutely anything with you, coco. We could paint, watch movies, go shopping, watch operas, cuddle, or whatever you like. <3 You don't have to vent to me, if you think itll give you away! But if you're having a bad day, lmk. I'll try to cheer you up. It's okay to be sad, but i wanna see you smile too. :) I think I'll probably join LL back, later. Most of these other yandere servers aren't the same. . . :") plus i wanna gush about you somewhere you can see! When we talk, i kinda just lay there and kick my feet like a silly school child with a crush. . . I love when we get to talk, even if its not alot. :) i love when you say such good things about me in these letters! It makes me feel important, and wanted. I'm sure the other system members would love to get to know you! :3 as some of them front more than others, they have seen me talk to you! :) Although i have something to say- I'm really sorry i don't write as much as you do. In your letters you write alot and mine aren't even that long. . . I hope that doesn't upset you. :( im very bad at writing about my feelings and using the correct words. I'm trying to write as much as i possibly can, because i dont want you to feel im not trying enough, because i am trying my best. I don't want you to find someone else to anon, but if you were too, i wouldn't stop you. I want you to be happy, as happy you can be, even if its not with me. 🤍 I've always been used to being a second option, when i was younger. Although I've found myself doing it to others, i feel bad for it. I don't want you to think you're not enough like how i used too, with past relationships. I am quite over dramatic, extremely sensitive, controlling and i act like a child. I want to try my best to be good for you, and be everything you want and need. I am. . . (idk the word for it, but i do without thinking) and im afraid one day i could make a decision that would hurt you or us. I wouldn't want to do that, if i ever do anything that makes you uncomfortable or feel sad, please let me know. 🤍 im not the best with communication, so ill try for you, coco. Im sorry about my first anon, shes no longer in my life, so don't worry about that. Also, i wouldn't want you spending money on me, as it would make me feel bad for it, but as soon as i get a job, maybe we can try buying things for each other, so it would be more fair. :) i do also like Christmas, but mostly just the food. . . :") i want to get a job before then, so i can buy you something! 🤍 i do like the charlie brown Christmas movies too and nightmare before Christmas! You remind me of sally. <3

1. Alright then! As is mine.

2. I've never watched either of those. . . :") but maybe we could watch one together? Im also not big on anime, but thats okay. :3

3. I really hope we can spend Christmas together, then. I wouldn't mind that at all. . . It would make it even more wonderful, to spend my Christmas with someone who i love and care for. If only there was a mistletoe we could kiss under. (๑¯ิε ¯ิ๑)

ECU High - Vince's Attitude

A Lincoln Town Car drives up to ECU High's front door.

"Jeeves stop here. I wanna get out now." Vince orders.

"Yes, Master Everett," his chauffeur says as he stops.

Vince gets out of the car with his Ralph Lauren backpack wearing high end clothes.

"You better be back at 3:15 or else." he says as he closes the door.

Jeeves drives away as Vince walks into the school.

"What's up poors!" Vince yells as a flex.

"Ah shut up, Vince!" some of the boys yell as he walks by.

"And a good morning to you too Charlie, Steve and Walter. I know you're all so jealous but oh well. We can't all appear on MTV and land a huge recording contract." Vince starts to laugh and walks away.

Walter has to hold Charlie and Steve back. "He ain't worth it. If there's any justice in this world, he'll get his one day."

Vince keeps laughing as he walks to his locker.

"Vince you really need to end this state of hubris and narcissism."

Vince rolls his eyes as he opens his locker. "Ah what do you know Scotty boy. You ain't got much room to talk with that silver spoon shoved in your mouth. Beat it."

Scott just sighs and walks away. Vince turns to his left.

"What ya got something to say to me Chad?"

Chad just chuckles. "You know, Vince. I never thought you'd be the kinda kid who becomes a complete ass just because he made a million bucks. Didn't anybody tell ya to be nice to the people on the way up? If they did then you'd know that you're only gonna run into them on the way down. Keep it up and -"

"Ah shut up!" Vince interrupts.

Chad just shrugs as if to say "Can't say I didn't warn you." and walks away.

Vince groans in annoyance as he grabs his books to put away. He looks at his schedule and finds that he has American Literature as his first class. When he walks into the classroom he immediately gets annoyed.

A teacher is talking with her student about a project. "What did you want me to help you with, Johnny?"

"Ms. Xana, Ah'm tryna write a story about a man who performs on riverboats in the 1860s. Where should Ah look?" he asks sitting at a desk.

She thinks as she goes through some books at her desk. "I think I have just the book for you, Johnny."

She pulls out "Life on the Mississippi" and hands it to him. "This is a memoir by Mark Twain. He used to work as a steamboat pilot before the Civil War. This should help you get started with your research."

Johnny takes the book smiling as Vince rolls his eyes. "Are ya done with the theatrics Johnny? Nobody reads your damn plays."

Ms. Xana gasps. "Vince watch your language. I won't have that type of talk in my classroom."

Vince scoffs as he sits down and waits for the bell to ring so class can start. His mind starts to wander and thoughts become sour.

"Why'd my stupid parents decide to keep me enrolled at this stupid school with these stupid kids and naggy ass teachers? I'd rather go to a private school or drop out all together."

now that we’ve been sitting on it for four months i need to rank the tortured poets department for real… it means nothing to rank an album two days after it comes out like that’s pointless fr let’s take this seriously

guilty as sin. this is an insane song. unfortunately i read a book the week this album came out and this song is permanently attached to that book in a small part but as we all know i did my absolute best to remain chill neutral and only weird about tsc at the time of this album drop so it all balanced out in the end and none of the songs are particularly associated with anything cringe. except two. but not this one i only brought up the book because it’s a little bit associated. you understand. the song is a slay of epic proportions on its own of course. i’ve mentally made this one about so many fictional guys it’s crazy… we have fun huh

my boy only breaks his favorite toys. this one was my instant favorite she’s not going anywhereeeee

but daddy i love him. some people don’t understand it but i do… i love her…

the alchemy. honestly? who are we to fight the alchemy…. literally!!!!

the albatross. sort of like who’s afraid of little old me if it was a song i liked more!

so high school. what more is there to say than truth dare spin bottles you know how to ball i know aristotle brand new full throttle touch me while your bros play grand theft auto it’s true swear scouts honor you knew what you wanted and boy you got her brand new full throttle you already know babe…

florida. cunty! florence + the machine!

the black dog. aforementioned two songs. well we knew this would be one. like we knew that the whole time. what could i possibly have done to save this one… genuinely what could i possibly have done. we saved the album in time i know but i mean. we all knew this track was a goner. nothing to be done. it’s a great song though like genuinely let’s be honest… one out of 31 is a great ratio. april 18th me was expecting a much worse percentage tbh

down bad. i just like it :)

who’s afraid of little old me. mildly over saturated. but kinda deserved the hype she slays

fresh out the slammer. one of aforementioned two songs that kinda got ruined. this song is about cbs drama fire country forever there’s nothing to be done. it’s not a huge loss this song is a little mid if i’m being honest. i think it’s too short i don’t fuck with it heavily

fortnight. my husband is cheating!! i wanna kill him!!!!

the prophecy. song that makes you cry…

the smallest man who ever lived. crazy ass bridge. rest of the song. well.

i can fix him (no really i can). i like that this song title is formatted like a fanfiction title that’s a lyric to a taylor swift song…

imgonnagetyouback. like. cute fun song sure yes. cannot get it out of my head that me personally if i had asked for writing credits from olivia rodrigo on a song that sounded nothing like my song, i personally would not have released this. me personally…

how did it end. crazy song that makes you go damn her life suckssss for real… yikes!

i can do it with a broken heart. not even a bad song it’s just the popular one with swifties and i hear it all the time without my consent.

the tortured poets department. can i be honest. sometimes taylor swift writes songs that would be awesome if not for one utterly batshit ridiculous lyric that embarrasses me so bad i can’t even fuck with the song. this has happened many times she’s an embarrassing celebrity to like everyone knows this. it’s not even the “you smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate we declared charlie puth should be a bigger artist” that’s actually fine. it’s what comes directly after that. “i scratch your head you fall asleep like a tattooed golden retriever” taylor. 😐 i can’t. i can’t even talk about this actually. also i can’t stand the lucy dacus and jack antonoff name drop lyrics at all like taylor please stop embarrassing me….

i do not actively listen to any of the other ones anymore so i just didn’t include them because why would i rank songs i don’t even listen to let’s take this seriously… they’re fine. the only one i might describe as a song i actively dislike is chloe or sam or sophia or marcus. like i do not care for that one at all

[bloodyraremedium]

Hello! I have seen you comparing the songs (mostly to how Mike is), could you go into a more detailed analysis of the last two, please?

aw yiss okay!!! i mainly think of them in animatic form so it was a bit hard to transfer that into writing but here we go!!! a bit of it needs theories to work but. oh well

so moonsickness i think works best for around ffps time. mainly cause of the lyrics There's so much to do/I'll never have the wherewithal to do it all again/Or fucking do it all at all and I've got one hundred hours to rearrange the stars

i think that works even better if you think that mike and henry worked together on ffps, and it really shows how much mike is just tired. Also with the amount of planning it must've took to get all the scraps and prepare for the end

lyrics like I am such a fuck up/If you only knew that I am such a fuck up and I'm the worst mistake that God has ever made are just like. general mike hating himself and thinking of himself like a monster etc etc, but if you wanna go deeper with the religious imagery of Henry and William you could really call either of them "God" depending on how you want it.

the repeating of The beast refuses to die is about springtrap/scraptrap "i always come back" stuff that mike is probably fucking sick of at this point.

Blood clots and death cramps would be good for michael getting scooped, while Blood clots and death camps could be a combo of william getting springlocked and the mci being led to their death unknowingly

Aztec circles of the death of all deaths/Concentric circles of torture wheels could defo be about william's remnant research and how it runs on suffering.

And in your blood you know what's right/And in your bones you know what wrong could play off the fact that mike no longer has blood or most of his bones lol, and how he's kinda morally grey for most of the story.

And you know nobody belongs in this hell/And there is not a single choice left to make would be mike knowing how it feels to be alive when you shouldn't, and that him and henry know there's only really one way to end it

I can't get the numbers right, I can't fucking count/Because not one goddamned thing is in its place would be how everyone including him, should be dead and buried and at peace. Or even alive and healthy and thriving.

Fucking up your definitions even though it's life or death/Who fuckin' told you you were selfish or even self-interested? is how the way william raised him sometimes make him question if maybe he's in the wrong somehow, the murders were justified etc etc

And it's not all you, man, you were just a kid once - how mike knows that his father had a terrible childhood too and at some point will was just a little kid like he was.

Everybody knows this place is dying, as am I/I might not get another chance/It's such a careful dance could be the difficulty of surviving the night, but mike knows they're just kids.

so for Feel Better. this would be super willry and charlie heavy. i like just thought of this so bear with me on this... it would also work with/without robo charlie (the whole thing is a little bit of a stretch but idgaf)

The book sits on top of clean and messy blankets/On a bed that fuckin' creaks at night when I get in it late and Or I'm a healthy baby-girl who traded sunshine for disease could be henry's depression and self-isolation after charlie's death and how he spends most of his time inside his house

I'm a communist, a terrorist, an MPDG thot/I'm a socialist, Marxist, libertarian slut/I'm a nihilist, a soldier, an OCD-machine could be a couple different things, but what I like most is Henry getting blamed for the MCI because of how suspicious he seems, and the town making up stories about him.

I guess I loved you, I guess I really loved you/All my filthy life I loved someone I barely knew is how henry didn't really actually know william, he just knew the mask he always put on. This is also assuming Henry knows abt the murders at this point.

and we were all a train-wreck/And also somehow making it/I think I might've died there twice and I would do it all again is henry having good memories of when the restaurant first opened, and things were good.

I don't wanna get over it, I wanna rip the stars to shreds and I could tell I had a heart/And I wanna tear this fascist Milky Way apart would be henry's decision to start ffps and put everyone out of their misery

pretty much all of verse three is just henry being Sad and Reminiscing

Or I'm just really fuckin' selfish and really fuckin' lost would work great if you go the Robo Charlie route, since that was kinda a... not good thing to do.

I had my cake (I ate it, it ate me too and, God, no) is pretty much what the metaphor already means. He let William get close to him and paid the price for it.

And then all of the choruses are a combo of him being sad about Charlie's death and the "death" of the will he thought he knew. very sappy sad stuff

is this even coherent? i wrote half of this at like midnight,,,

2023 Goals

I am a goal-oriented lady so here we are, once again looking at a new year and planning ahead. I'm very excited about things to come, so read more if you wanna have a looksy with me!

Reading

Read with great outbursts and lightings by my friend Lila! I've been meaning to for ages but between the length and knowing it's going to be emotional I've been putting it off. But soon...soon!

Reread Snitches and Songs because when I recced it the other day I felt the urge!

Reread The White Road - yearly reread, I gotta!!!!

Reread When the Rose and the Fire Are One - cuz it's been a while!

Reread Pains and Contradictions - again, it's been a while!

Reread The Apple Tree - maybe 2023 is just the year of rereads haha.

Read all the fics on Squash's 12 HP Femslash Recs for 2022. I do need more femslash in my life, and I don't think I've read any of these!

Read Littered with Lonely Hearts cuz newwwww Lizzy fic!!!!

Read a Tomarrymort fic???? Since apparently I'm having thoughts right now. (Feel free to send recs, pls & thx.)

Oh catch up on reading for Hoggywartyxmas. I'm a very bad participant and very behind!!

Read a "real" book...it's been a while. 🫣 Maybe finish Brandon Sanderson's Skyward series (Sanderson is my partner's favorite author) or Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, because so many people have been recommending it to me for years (and my partner bought it for me recently so I really should actually read it...)

Writing

finish Devotion

chapter 3 of smile with sweet surprise

work on Dralbus fic

work on Sugar Daddy fic

work on Good Daddy

work on Scarry fic

write at least one of the following ships: Gwenevera, Ginmione, Drarius, or Dremus

write for Kinkuary and Kinktober (even if only 1 each!)

write for Snarry Bang

work on Project: Three of Hearts

Miscellaneous Fandom

more HP Astro posts! Hopefully I can get to Neville, Hermione, Luna, and Ron as horoscopes and Draco/Charlie, Remus/Snape, and Sirius/Snape for synastry. But just adding more to the series in general will be good!

Post meta to AO3. At least the HP astro series! (all under my danniperson pseud.)

More rec lists! I have one for Snarrytales and Background Snarry queued up already. I'd like to do a Valentine's Day rec lists and lists for other ships, such as Dron or Dremus or such.

Guest on more podcasts, if anyone wants to partner up again!

Attempt podficcing.

Attempt fanart.

Personal

Stay in therapy - even if things don't work out with therapist, find a new one. Don't wait. Don't be disheartened. Keep going!

Take up meditation again - meditation is hard for me but I always felt better when I was doing it.

Take up yoga again - or other light physical activity.

Travel! I love to travel, even if it's within the state. I'd ideally like to get back to New Orleans, but my partner and I also plan on going to Universal again (Florida or California? Undecided) and maybe Utah in the fall. But just getting out of town at all would be nice!

Keep up with my planner. I fell out of the habit during covid and I felt a lot better when I was keeping up with it.

Finish decluttering/reorganizing apartment. We're in the middle of it and I love it so far!!!!

Self-care - honestly the hardest. But I need to learn to set boundaries, rest/relax, have fun, and prioritize myself.

Vampires Will Never Hurt You (Harry Styles)

Chapter 1

Note: this entire story is cringe keep in mind i was a lot younger when i wrote this also it was written in 2020 so yeah try not to judge me too hard

⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆

"Immortality? Really Faye?" My best friend, Donna, gave me a death glare. The two of us were sitting in the bay window of my house, reading my grandmother's grimoire we had found in the attic.

"Hey, you're immortal, I'm immortal, it's not a big deal," I kept my head down and closely examined the page.

"You've been immortal for a long time, Callahan. I'm only in my 51st year and let me tell you, it's a big deal. It's a huge deal," Donna tried to reason with me, but I had already made up my mind.

"Look, I haven't officially learned how to do an immortality spell yet, and most witches my age have, so, I'm going to test it out on like, a frog or something," I murmured and Donna stood up from the window seat.

"What is this, Tuck Everlasting? You can't just have some immortal frog hopping around this place. This spell basically makes vampires, do you want some murderous, bloodthirsty immortal frog roaming the Earth freely? People could get hurt!" Donna stressed. I gave more thought into it and came to the conclusion that she was right, a frog doesn't know right from wrong, and as far as I knew, has no conscience. I knew I had to test it on a human instead.

"First of all, it was a toad in Tuck Everlasting, and maybe you'd know that if you'd actually read the book when I bought it for you 40 years ago, and second of all," I paused, "I get your point. I shouldn't make a frog my lab rat, but if not a frog, then what do you suggest? Any animal is going to be unkillable and bloodthirsty with this spell, so we could at least choose an animal who can't do much harm."

That sent Donna into deep thought. What animal could you barely tell the difference from if you turned it into a vampire? Bat? Mosquito? Tick?

Donna then lifted her finger up and gasped rather dramatically. "What if you alter the spell so that there's a weakness?"

"Good idea, how the hell do I do that?" I bookmarked and closed the grimoire.

"You think I know? You're a lot older than me, your whole family is. Why don't you ask one of them?" She sat back down.

"What, do you think I can just walk up to one of them and just ask how to give vampires weaknesses? They aren't going to approve of it," I told her.

"What about Charlie?" She was right.

That's the thing about my siblings, you had Maude, the oldest, who truly believes she is in charge of everything any of us do, you have Jane, the second oldest, the most powerful witch you'll ever meet but you'd never know, the two youngest, Leonard and Eleanor, who is constantly traveling the world together, me of course, the baby of the family, and then there's Charlie, the middle child. Charlie isn't your average witch, he knows how to have fun. If you're planning on doing something you know you shouldn't be doing, Charlie is your guy to go to.

"You're right. He might not approve of it though," I added, knowing that no matter who you are, immortality spells are not something to fuck with casually.

"Just be hypothetical, you know. Like, don't say, 'Hey Charlie, how do you edit an immortality spell so we can turn a frog into a vampire frog', just go with something like, 'if we were to be messing with vampiric immortality, how would you add weakness to the spell, right?" Donna suggested.

"Ok, you're right. I'm going to head over to their house to ask right now, wanna come along?" I asked Donna as I stood up, and whipped my long black hair behind me. I grabbed the old grimoire and slid it into my backpack.

"Yeah, can we go to Panera afterward? I heard they hired a few new cottagecore employees," Donna giggled.

"They're really doing that now, huh?" I asked as I walked out the door of the small house I shared with Donna.

"Yeah. You should get a job at IHOP!" She turned around in front of me excitedly as we walked to the car.

"Why? Because I'm goth?" I gave her an 'are you kidding me' look from my spot in the driver's seat.

"No, because your manners are impeccable and you're great with new people," she deadpanned back at me.

"Okay, okay, I'll consider it, should we go to IHOP instead of Panera to see if I can get an interview?" I gripped my hands on the steering wheel, but I'm fairly certain Donna had zoned out, as she was scrolling on her phone now.

"Yeah, sure." I loved that girl, but damn, she had a habit of not listening.

⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆

"Immortality, Faye? Again?" Charlie whined in his recliner in the living room of the Callahan's house, home to the eldest three siblings, and their mother, Cecilia. Charlie was definitely a creature of the night, he drank iced tea in that recliner and never moved all day, then went out and partied every night.

"That was one time, I didn't think immortality was gonna kill him. I thought it would, you know, make him immortal. And that's beside the point, I'm not going to test it on a human this time, I promise," I lied straight through my teeth, but he didn't need to know that. I sat down on the arm of his chair, hoping to get a straight answer out of him.

"Ok, don't tell me details, and I can't say no, sound good?" Charlie closed his eyes and shook his hands in a dismissing matter. That, my friends, is why we fuck with Charlie.

"Great, now weaknesses?" I put my hands together and gave him a sweet face.

"Right, okay, let's see, vampires, vampires, you'd probably want to go with something original, right, so, maybe like a stake to the heart, decapitation, garlic, sunlight, burning, holy water, etc?" Charlie somehow pulled all of those examples from his brain on the spot, amazing me.

"Actually, no. If I'm creating, as far as we know, the first vampire, I can't have the weaknesses be obvious, maybe we should go for something obscure, like only one specific item can kill them, you know?" I responded to his question.

"No, Faye, I really don't. But anyway, for the item, I'd suggest pricking them with that object while tracing the sigil, or better yet, if it's something sharp, use it to carve the sigil into them."

"That sounds a little gruesome, even for me. Maybe I'll go with the first choice," I paused, "not that it'd matter anyway because it's only gonna be on an animal." I gave my best fake smile, and he narrowed his eyes at me for a few moments then he just turned his head back to the TV.

"Whatever. I don't care, just don't kill anyone, including yourself, or else, I'm going to have to tell Maude, or maybe even Mom, and trust me, neither of us wants that. I'm going to IHOP tonight for dinner, are either of you interested in joining?" He lazily pointed his finger between me and Donna, and she seemed to widen her eyes.

"What, you got a thing against IHOP?" He asked Donna.

"No, it's just, well, since when do you invite us to go to dinner with you?" Donna muttered quietly.

"Since I don't trust you two alone with an immortality spell. I gave you tips, if this backfires, it's on me, so if you say no, I hope you know that you'll be joining me at IHOP tonight anyway," he warned us. Donna nodded her head, and we briskly walked away from the living room.
