So recently I watched this pilot short: Epilogue of endings. It’s about 12 minutes long, created by a group of animation students over a single summer. I had never heard of the project before it showed up in my youtube recommended.

It changed my brain chemistry. I watched it 9 days ago and I can’t stop thinking about it to save my life. The music? Spectacular. The voice acting? Perfect. The art? astounding. The characters? I’m already emotionally attached. Hotel? Trivago.

Listen, I don’t tend to watch of a lot of things anymore unless I’m with other people, and I have this weird thing about engaging in new media, I think because a lot of what I’ve been watching recently has been kinda disappointing, or very… I don’t know… it’s hard to describe. It just feels like a lot of studios are making characters shallower, relationships strained, and half-assing their world building. A lot of media that I’ve taken in recently is trying very hard to make itself seem edgy and serious and that’s not what I want right now and definitely not what I need.

But this 12 minute pilot? This is everything I never knew I needed. The characters feel like real people, with complex motivations and interpersonal relationships. They’re flawed, but they’re trying their best with the situation that they have. They have things, other people that they care about and would fight for, they have motivations and backstories that you can see the breadcrumbs of, but have not been revealed yet, and the breadcrumbs are so good you can’t wait for the whole loaf. The world-building is exquisite, built up enough that you can see the beginning, but still drawing you in with more questions.

I have a more detailed review under the cut, with SPOILERS, but I highly recommend that you go watch the pilot. It’s 12 minutes of time well spent in my opinion.

So the first scene. We’re introduced to Lucy, Blu and CG. I think Blu is already my fav, lol. In this scene, we see the three characters playing eye-spy while walking through a forest. It’s a pretty innocuous scene if we didn’t pan up to the sky and see the sun having broken open and Lucy becoming emotional over having to leave town, and presumably the rest of her life behind. Blu doesn’t answer her.

So Lucy clearly doesn’t know what’s going on, and I’m wondering if Blu has limited information himself. Maybe even Blu doesn’t know why or how any of this is happening. Maybe Blu literally can’t answer her question because he doesn’t have the answers. Maybe it hurts, being so helpless and out of control, so he’s in denial to a certain extent, trying to pretend that everything is fine. He’s trying to keep this little girl, happy and safe and alive, while also presumably dealing with his own shit, and no he’s not doing it perfectly, he’s flawed, as people and characters should be, but he’s trying and so far she is alive and safe to a certain extent so way to go Blu! I think this will probably cause some tension between the two down the road, but for now they just keep walking.

I wonder where they’re going, if anywhere specific? Why did they leave town specifically, we see there’s lots of danger pretty much everywhere, did something happen?

Anyways, then we get to this scene of someone fixing what appears to be a subway train. He stops, pulls out a journal and we get some exposition stuff. We find out that the world ended, and how. And WOW. This whole thing was gut-punchingly realistic I feel. People blowing up the competition trying to race off into space when it’s announced that the sun is going to die out? That’s something that unfortunately I can see people doing. I wonder/hope that this will become a plot point again later on, and we’ll find out what happened to all those people. But anyways that’s not even the craziest part; the fact the sun broke open and released a whole bunch of eldritch horror monsters??? Yep here we go. And then the next thing hurts. Like a lot. Because the narrator says that ‘people who hoped to live out their last days in normalcy quickly found out that their life-style was no longer sustainable’. That shit made me want to cry. The want for a peaceful death, a calm death, a painless death, but having even that ripped away from you. This setting that these characters are in is awful and very terrifying, and we can see how it is hurting them, torturing them, but I got to give props to the world building. It’s good writing. They set up the plot, the problem, what’s been going on the past couple yrs, some mysteries, to both the viewers and the characters, and in doing so give us some idea of the characters that we do have. Because the characters that we do have are trapped. The characters that we do have are abandoned. The characters that we do have are survivors.

And then we pan out to see the narrator having an interaction with one of the Monarchs. And this scene? Gave me chills, man. I was so creeped out by this. Acedia’s ‘I do not like that response,’ Mole’s utter helplessness to do anything, his clear, potent fear of the creature, the way that it just lightly touches him and he flinches. Then the frustration that we see on his face after it leaves, the anger that turns into tiredness and then hopelessness? Someone needs to wrap this man in a blanket stat.

And this is where I’m starting to think that Blu doesn’t really know the full extent of what’s going on. There’s a good chance that Mole knows about the Monarchs because he’s being held prisoner by one. It’s possible that Mole is seeing the world collapse before his very eyes, while Blu is just seeing the aftermath and not knowing why and I can’t say which is more terrifying.

The ‘I have influence?’ line is peak. I love it so much, I can’t even say why. That whole little interaction with Lucy saying that she takes after Blu, Blu being so genuinely touched and CG being low-key offended is perfect and I love it. It shows how close they are, how much they care about each other.

The the… zombie ppl??? I love the detail of how unlike a lot of teenage protagonists, Lucy listens to Blu, and gets out of danger. She trusts him to handle the situation on his own, and knows that the best thing that she can do right now is get to safety. There’s an implicit trust there, in spite of her clear issues with Blu not telling her things, and this is what I’m talking about when I say the character relationships are complex.

Oh fuck. The transitions? The way that it cuts from one character to another, each unintentionally completing one another’s scentences, and unknowingly engaging in conversation. It’s amazing storytelling, an amazing presentation and for some reason it just confirms to me that these characters are family. They fit together like puzzle pieces. I don’t know what else to say.

We get more info on our mysterious narrator, Mole, who is an amnesiac, and clearly going through it. During this scene we see a crumpled newspaper of what seems to be a younger version of him, winning an award for his dedication at being a subway motorman. His name is crossed out in black ink, so we can’t see it. Which makes me question, did he do this to himself? Is his amnesia a trauma response to everything he’s going through? Did something happen to the point that his brain decided shutting down and forgetting everything was better than remembering this one thing? And it hurts, because in the picture in the newspaper he looks so happy. So young. So alive. It’s a stark contrast to the man we see with bags under his eyes, talking to himself and becoming increasingly distressed. I read through the article, and again, props to the team, some other people might have just did random letters or whatever but they put in a whole ass-story, giving the viewers more info about Mole than even he has. We know he was a dedicated subway motorman. We know he was inspired by his father. We know he had a sister. But these answers only serve to bring up more questions? What happened to his sister? Was his father still alive at the time of he end of the world and what was their relationship like? Because there’s a chance that their relationship was really good, and that’s why he went on to become a subway motorman, but there is also the possibility that he was pressured into doing so, and the way that he complains about being on a train when the world ended makes me kinda lean towards that option.

Then we see CG and Lucy walking around the underground tunnels and we get more info on them. We find out that CG was created by Lucy’s mom, which begs the question of where is Lucy’s mom???? What happened to her? Is there a chance that she’s still alive? Does Lucy know what happened to her mother?? Or is this just another thing that Blu is keeping her in the dark about? Does Blu know what happened to Lucy’s mother???? Or— as you can see I am totally normal about this woman. Anyways.

CG is a fun character, optimistic and bringing a lighter atmosphere to the show, but there is just something… off about her in this scene. The disregard for the danger, the naiveté, the joyful voice in such a horrible situation, feels so wrong to me. I wonder though if CG chose to be like this, or a certain amount of it is her programming? Does CG know what happened to Lucy’s mom? I think CG was created to be take care of Lucy but it seems to be the other way around here, why is that?

And then we get info on Blu. Blu was a solider during the war when ppl were trying to get all the resources to race off into space. I wonder if Blu had believed that he would be granted a place on one of these ships. (If he managed to survive of course.) Or had he been in the military prior to all this, and was just pulled along? This makes me want to know more about his belief system before and after the end of the world. Also it is implied by CG that Blu is carrying a lot of pressure, and I wonder how that will be dealt with later on… hmm…

Also the music that plays when Blu uses his arms to pull down the wall? Amazing, I love it, I love the scene, I love the fact that he’s a cyborg, I am so invested in these characters already it’s killing me.

Then we see Mole almost (accidentally) kill Lucy and CG. He’s out of it, he’s the only person running the trains, he didn’t expect to have to watch out for anyone, I think that we can give him a pass on this. Blu doesn’t think so obviously.

(Sidenote: the way that Lucy curls into Blu, as he protectively shields her is so cute, my heart, help)

Blu is pissed. His tone doesn’t change too much, it’s light, but there’s this threatening undertone there that kinda creeps me out. Mole tells them he doesn’t have a name, before Blu forces him to tell them that its Mole. Wait… is he called that bc Moles live underground? Anyways, Blu wants to leave him to die there, which shows an interesting side of his character. Prior to this we’ve seen him take a protective, fun role as Lucy’s guardian but here we see this apathy towards someone who is obviously not doing so well. A lot of other people would be excited to find another living person in the apocalypse, but he’s fine just walking away. Is this just because he almost killed Lucy? Or is there something more going on here? In Blu’s bio on the rainbott instagram, it says that Blu was ‘left to die in a mysterious incident’ and it’s interesting that he feels fine leaving someone else to die in such horrible conditions. Again - complex character writing, props to the team.

But Lucy doesn’t want to leave him. This shows her compassion and maybe too her want for connection with other people. Blu resists; ‘Lucy that is the most unimpressive man I have ever seen,’ this line has no right to be so funny, esp with Mole just staring at him in the background. Did he hear that or is he too far away, too out of it? Then he relents, perhaps solely because of Lucy, or maybe also because of his own want to do the right thing. He doesn’t like Mole, he makes that obvious, but if Lucy want’s to adopt this strange hobo man, fine, if it makes her happy. He’ll do whatever it takes to make Lucy a little more happy.

Mole’s ‘it doesn’t want me to leave’ scares the shit out of me, and the way that he just freezes up when Acedia shows up…

The scene when it talks about humans really creeps me out, and makes me worried even more about Mole. Calling him ‘entertaining’ and saying that he ‘belongs’ to them. It sounds like it sees him as a toy at best, and reminds me of the way that Mole said earlier that the Monarchs had the power to ‘turn Earth into their own personal sandbox’. Did Acedia get rid of Mole's memories for that purpose? So that he would 'belong' only to them. I wonder though, why Mole, and if there were others, if Mole had to watch those around him die, or worse when they gave an answer that it didn’t like. I wonder what Mole has had to do to scrape by and survive, what he’s been through. But Blu pulls him along anyways, kind of against Mole’s will. Like obviously being with Blu, Lucy and CG is better than being with a horrifying shadow monster, but aforesaid horrifying shadow monster is going to be pissed at him. I wonder how he’s going to react to that, if he’ll lash out at Blu or worse, Lucy for rescuing him because now it’s gonna be angry and he’s gonna have to be the one to deal with the fallout of that.

Then the scene where Blu pretends to buy tickets to appease CG? It’s for comedic relief, but again it makes me think about Blu. Is he doing it because he knows CG will be annoying if he doesn’t? Or does he genuinely not want her to be hurt? I’m not sure.

Then the campfire scene. Lucy looks away when Blu removes his mask, Mole tries to lean in to see what’s behind it. Blu doesn’t like this, I assume it’s a sensitive subject, but Mole is again, kind of out of it. Mole is scared of Blu and Blu clearly knows this, even kinda uses it to freak him out. I’m looking forwards to see that relationship developing, maybe one that contrasts Mole’s relationship with Acedia, I dunno, someone who cares about him in this really twisted way that hurts him, and someone who at first doesn’t care at all(at first), but still takes care of him in spite of it. I dunno… just vibes.

And Lucy’s little ‘what if we tell ghost stories around the fire’ breaks my heart. It’s like she too, is in denial to a certain extent. This is just a fun camping trip not the end of the world. Everything is fine. Everything will be fine.

Then the post-credit scene. There’s presumably, something left of the government that is working to try and deal with the Monarchs, which gives me hope that there might be a way to stop them, a way to stop all this death and destruction. I am curious about what’s left of this order, what the gov was like during the war, and how they’re operating now. Also the way the commander calls the droid C21, and the way that CG is called CG, and the way that he says ‘find the girl’ and C21 frowns and does this have something to do with Lucy’s mom??????? What does any of this have to do with Lucy? Does she know more than she’s letting on, or does not even she know what she knows??? Help I need answers.

Also all the characters in the credits. I desperately hope that they find the main cast and all become friends pls.

CG’s little song is beautiful and I think that it embodies the heart of the show. Like I said earlier a lot of the stuff I’ve watched recently tries very hard to be dark and edgy and a dystopian show where all the characters have been trapped and abandoned and tortured is the perfect setup for some grim and gritty TV. But it’s… not. The characters are funny and lighthearted and smiling in spite of all the shit that’s going on around them. The characters are trying to be nice, to be good. They are connected, they are a family. It is a dystopian setting for sure, but I think that the story is about family, about love and caring for each other. The story is about Blu, Lucy and CG playing eye-spy. The story is about Lucy smiling when she tells Blu her mom said he was a bad influence. The story is about CG wanting Blu to get some rest and take a break. The story is about Mole’s desperate panic at trying to stop the train before it hits Lucy, and Lucy not wanting to leave him to die. The story is about four people sitting around a fire, listening to music.

I really love this story, and I hope to see more of it one day. It’s really beautiful.

Me when there is something to the ritual of setting some old shit of fire. A way of saying this now lives in memory. A way of saying it's only a memory. There is something to the ritual of setting a torch to what is gone. The Vikings did it to honor a memory and now we do it to honor who I used to be. Let's say goodbye to Natalie, she was thirty-three. Tonight lets say goodbye to Natalie and her fake IDs. She was imaginary. Which is why we say goodbye to her: and hello to me. This is ridiculous. Why? You're the one who made her up. It was a bit more collaborative than you're remembering... All I want right now is the same thing I wanted two weeks ago: the truth. Why did you lie to me? And why does Natalie Cook exist in the first place? The person who I was, on the day, you and I met was deeply ashamed. Of who she had become, so deeply ashamed of what she'd done. And when you showed her questions. The 36 questions she looked ahead and saw who she wanted to be. She made a past, made up a history, details that fit this person named Natalie. Let's say goodbye to Natalie, she was thirty-three, on her fake IDs... She was... Real to me... I don't expect, for you to understand perfectly. I loved her too, as much as you, and she wants you to bury her with me... Okay. Okay, what? Give me the match... There is something to the ritual of setting fire to the lie. A way of saying that's one win for honesty. What's done is done. Tonight I say goodbye to Natalie, she was thirty-three. Tonight we say goodbye to Natalie, and her fake IDs. She was imaginary. She was... thirty-three.... May she rest in peace.

#kade needs to stfu #but fr this time #yes i did this from memory #i didn't read over it either so #sorry i probably fucked something up #im sorry this is so long #this is how i procrastinate #and how i cope #typing shit from memory #36 questions

in order to begin a new life for himself & to avenge the life of his father , a former occult detective , marshall weatherly has traveled from his hometown of boston to mausebrook , connecticut to become the new writer for their newspaper's fictional oddities section ﹙ later known as ❛ the weatherly report , ❜ ﹚ as well as investigate the odd goings on in this seemingly happy little town.

danny estrada was a well revered occult detective. his work was unknown to the world of humans , but among other creatures & the netherworld / paranormal , he was respected , feared & even adored. he had no powers , he wasn’t really a magic user or had any bargains with demons. he was a human who earned his keep , but was also a threat to those who wanted to wreak havoc in the world. danny enjoyed what he did , but he knew he couldn’t continue on working like this forever. deciding to retire at a young age , he eventually settles down into a small apartment in boston , where he earned a job as a grocery bagger. on moving day , he bumped into a young woman who was about to finish her final year in her graduate program. all it took was one look , & he knew he made the right choice. two years later , danny & alana would get married , giving birth to their son marshall shortly afterward.

the first few years were blissful ━━ almost too perfect beyond words. marshall was a bright young boy who looked & resembled his father , a man he admired & wanted to be like. danny & marshall were very close & it almost seemed like nothing could tear them apart. then , life of course intervenes , & danny is contacted by an old friend in need of help. he tries to refuse , but he also can’t resist helping old friends , so he decides to do this one last case & then be done for good. alana , who knew of danny’s past , wished him well & danny tells marshall that he’ll be back in time for his final softball game. unbeknownst to the estrada family , that would be the last time they’d ever see danny & after a year of searching , he would be pronounced dead. at age six , marshall would attend his father’s funeral , which to him seemed pointless since his body was nowhere to be found. if there’s no body , then why were they treating him like he died ? it confused him , angered him & rather than stay for the remainder of the service, he leaves in a huff , breaking down in his room in private.

not too long after his father’s passing , marshall struggles with his speech. he’s always been a very shy , usually soft spoken child , but it’s almost as if his father’s death had made it worse. school becomes incredibly agonizing as he’s bullied relentlessly for his inability to answer questions in class , & it makes him more & more closed off the older he gets , less wanting to be around people. at the age of eight , alana decides to take marshall to a speech therapist , thinking it would be good of marshall to learn techniques to help him ﹙ she originally wanted to do it earlier , but with his grief / family counseling & therapist sessions , she didn’t want to overwhelm him ﹚. at the very first session , they are greeted by a very kind secretary named allison weatherly , who helps a nervous marshall ease up just before his session , making him laugh with her silly expressions & general goofiness. alana sees this & thanks her , and it gets the two to start talking. thursdays at the speech therapist’s officee become both marshall & alana’s favorite day of the week , if only because they get to see allison , who always seems to brighten their days. a year into the sessions , allison finally strikes up the courage to ask alana out , & not too long after , they elope & are officially married. when marshall turns 10 , allison asks if she can officially adopt him as her son , to which he happily agrees.

alana & marshall add the name weatherly to the estrada last name , not wanting to entirely lose their connection to danny. however , alana encourages marshall to use the name weatherly more , & he agrees , unsure why , but he didn’t want to argue with his mother. as marshall grows , his speech continues to improve but he continues to be bullied in school. puberty is unkind to marshall & it only makes the bullying worse , leaving marshall to come home upset & angry at people’s lack of acceptance of him. allison , seeing how angry he was , would approach him & try to get him to vent , but he struggles to get the right words out. she then figures out a system. using her records which she adored so much , she organizes her music by genre & based on the song or album that marshall plays when he gets home , it gives allison & alana an idea of what is going on with him. it helps marshall to open up , but it also awakens a love of music. on quiet nights when there was no work or school , the estrada-weatherly family could be seen laughing & singing to songs as allison plays them on her guitar. those were some of marshall’s favorite nights, but it also makes him miss his father & how he wishes he was around to see this.

as marshall reaches the age of 14 , he begins to have very strange daydreams. not nightmares ━━ daydreams , as they would happen in the middle of the day. the first time happened during a school field trip, where he sees someone in the distance calling out to him ﹕ ❛ hey kid. come a little bit closer. ❜ the person , if they were a person , was singing out his words to the tune to that jay & the american’s song , & before marshall could approach , suddenly he’s surrounded by his classmates , blood oozing out his nose. its dismissed as dehydration & he’s allowed to go home early that day , but it happens again a few weeks later, this time when him & his moms are out at a restaurant. he excuses himself to go to the bathroom & he recalls the music playing indoors. it was staying alive by the bee gees, but then . . . he hears someone else singing. the voice gets louder & louder as he approaches the bathroom , & then as he opens the door , something jumps at him. he screams , blacks out & is awoken again by a crowd of people , his nose bleeding & his pants wet. he’s taken to neurologists & doctors to try & analyze what’s happening with him , but they find nothing. allison tries to distract marshall’s worries & teaches him to play guitar. meanwhile , when the episodes happen more frequently , he’d stay home & watch tv with his mother when she returned from work , a lot of it investigative work & true crime documentaries. both his mothers helped to awaken two interests in him , & it helps ease the strangeness he feels when he has his dizzy spells / daydreams, the vision of someone getting closer with each visit , but he has no idea why.

once he turns 15 , the weird vision of the strange man stops & he suddenly can begin a normal life again. during this time , alana becomes a bit ill , though there is no explanation as to why. as the years go on , she becomes more & more ill , & at age 18 she’s completely rendered bedbound , unable to work & too weak to stand. marshall wants to stay home &; stay by his mother’s side , afraid of what might happen if he leaves , but alana encourages him to follow his dreams & to not put them aside just because of her. unbeknownst to marshall , this would be the final goodbye he & his mother would have , & not too long after allison drives marshall up to nyu, they get the word from her caregiver that she had passed on. there’s a lot of pain & regret that marshall feels in that moment & it only makes his more negative tendencies even worse , closing off from allison & unable to cope. he lost both his parents. what was he supposed to do now ?

he studies journalism at nyu , but attempts to get in the music scene by playing at a small club called the grindhouse café , which was just a few blocks from his apartment. his apartment was a little rundown , but nothing major & on either side of him lived two people. on his left lived anthony terach , an engineer major & a singer at the grindhouse , & on his right lived mara sable , an art history major & a painter, who worked at the grindhouse & frequented as a customer often. marshall mainly stayed closed off from these two people , especially not liking anthony , who’s fake / cheery disposition really irked him. mara , however , always tried to make nice & while he didn’t show it , he did appreciate it from time to time & often found himself thinking about her whenever he was home alone. the nights at the grindhouse served as a welcome escape from the real world. there he could play songs he enjoys , not think about his mom , allison or the guilt he carries from not staying in boston. he would continue to frequent the club for years as he finished his major , eventually befriending & falling for mara , though he doesn’t do anything about his romantic interest for her initially.

right out of college , marshall is hired to work part time at the village voice , an arts & culture weekly newspaper that focuses on city nightlife. he becomes the resident music & theater critic there , seeing shows & giving his honest opinion. at the start he gives rather fair reviews , but as his life worsens his reviews become more negative , being much more harsh & mean than actually constructive. he’s asked by his editor to soften up his approach , but he does no such thing. during this time , he’s asked by allison to come home to help sort through his mother’s things , but he has absolutely no interest. he continues to play at the grindhouse & things with mara begin to progress , seeing her as the only bright spot in his dreary life. one night , after a show , mara & marshall walk home together right after her shift. rather than go to her respected apartment , she invites herself over to marshall’s & that was that. these evenings together would become a regular thing & marshall clings to that bit of happiness & sort of ' alive ❜ feeling he’d get whenever he was with mara, even if it disappears just as quickly when she decides to head back to her place, or cancel plans to go hang out with anthony. mara makes it known that she isn’t interested in anything serious & that she’d like to experience dating & fun before settling into a relationship. marshall tries to respect this , but he finds himself so jealous when he sees her with anthony , berating his talents & badmouthing him quietly whenever at the grindhouse , wishing mara would stop seeing him. despite being clearly uncomfortable with the arrangement , marshall continues to see mara , far too in love with her to stop. he hopes that his patience will be rewarded with her deciding to be serious with him , but that moment never comes.

after much complaint from readers , the village voice decides to fire marshall off the paper , not wanting his negative energy to bring down their readership , seeing as how they were struggling to keep that already. taking to the grindhouse for solace & comfort , he is instead met with mara laughing & flirting with anthony & it’s enough to make him on edge. already tired of the rejection , seeing mara clearly enjoy anthony’s attention over his sticks a knife in his chest & twists it , so when anthony comes by to greet his fellow neighbor with a smile , marshall barely realizes that he’s punched the poor man right in the face , knocking him out flat. as an ambulance is called , mara curses marshall out who finally reveals his feelings & frustrations. ❛ i’m not yours to claim. i don’t owe you anything , ❜ were her words & that ends their romantic affair instantly , mara never wanting to speak with him again. in addition , the owner of the grindhouse asks marshall to leave & suggests that perhaps he doesn’t come back.

depressed & struggling to find work , marshall is eventually called home by allison once again , only this time, he accepts. the two reunite & reminisce about alana , as well as marshall’s less than successful ventures post college. he’s worked at the village voice for some time & devoted so much time to the grindhouse. what was he meant to do now ? allison suggest that perhaps he try to make a fresh start somewhere else , because he deserves to have a happy life & a career , just as his parents hoped for. while thinking on what to do , marshall finally goes through some old items that were left behind by her mother , accidentally finding his father’s old journal stashed at the bottom of one of her boxes. curious , marshall skims through his father’s writings , only to discover who danny truly was. at first he believed that maybe this was a book of stories he created , but then he realizes that danny was using this to record experiences & his cases. upon further inspection , one case that is constantly mentioned is that of a demon , who’s main goal was to capture as many souls as he could , both dead & living. the demon in question is constantly at odds with his father , & while his name is never mentioned , marshall quickly deduces that this is perhaps his father’s biggest nemesis. there is a brief mention of a town called mausebrook in connecticut in his notes & something about it being the main entrance for the netherworld. curious to discover more about his father’s secret career , marshall finds an ad for a new newspaper columnist in the mausebrook gazette. he applies and is offered the job rather quickly.

upon his arrival , he quickly discovers that mausebrook is literally the town of his nightmares. it was a kind , chatty town with beautiful scenery & kind people as well. so many people would approach marshall to make small talk , but it’s the last thing he cares about. settling into his new home , he gets another one of those visions again ﹙ the first one in almost 20 years ﹚ , this time the voice of the person is clear , with taunting words. the movers have to help marshall up to his feet when he faints , but he knows he’s getting closer to finding out more about his father.

the mausbrook gazette , aware of his reputation at the village voice , gives marshall a column to do with as he pleases, thinking his way of thinking could be of interest to their readers , as their news reports tend to fall on the chipper side. they call it daydreams , which ends up confusing many of the town citizens , as it wasn’t a weather report at all. it earns him the name ❛ the weather man , ❜ & lots of teasing jabs from people. initially set to use the column to continue reviewing plays & art programs , he ends up running into . . . strange happenings in the town. he’d notice things that shouldn’t be there , or experience strange occurrences that shouldn’t be happening . . . hauntings & more. deciding to use the column as a sort of journal like his father , the newspaper actually loves the idea , thinking the stories are fabricated in order to captivate the townsfolk. marshall , admittedly frustrated that they didn’t believe him , decides to roll with it & continues to use the section to write about what he sees & experiences in the town of mausebrook, all while trying to find clues as to what happened to his father , the demon he keeps seeing & what this all means.

unknown to marshall , the demon ﹙ known to a small few as the wanderer ﹚ that was at odds with his father , was planning to kill danny & send his soul in a constant spiraling abyss in hell , as he couldn’t let him stay in the netherworld for fear of him becoming too powerful in the afterlife. the demon lures danny back to his roots in his hope to capture him , hoping to eradicate him from this world so the souls of the living would be his for the taking , as it's what he feeds off of for power & longevity. danny does go back to mausebrook & he is captured , but just as he’s about to be tossed , he has one last trick up his sleeve. knowing a bit of magic ﹙ for emergencies only ﹚ , he puts up a fight & cuts his own finger , using the blood to smear against a wound that he elicits on the demon during their scuffle. uttering a few words , this connects the two & binds them together , meaning that neither can die while the other lives.

danny is sent to the abyss without the demon realizing what had happened , believing he attempted to kill him with a curse & it failed. danny is still alive & won’t die unless the demon is destroyed , keeping him safe for now. however , there is a catch to the spell , one danny didn’t realize. because he used blood to bind him , that means others of his own blood can also be connected to the demon , but at a lesser degree. this is why marshall can see the demon later on in life , & once the demon realizes what danny has done , he tries to lure marshall in so that he can be rid of him. unlike danny , he can kill marshall if he wanted to , but alana , who is very much aware of danny’s life & knows the demon has something to do with this , protects her son by selling her soul to the demon , exchanging his protection for her own life. cruel as ever , the demon decides to slowly suck her life away rather than take it instantly , which is why she died so slowly over marshall’s late teen years.

with her gone, the demon is still bound to the promise he made with her of not killing marshall, though that didn’t mean he couldn’t ruin his life a bit with misfortune. a lot of the things that happened to marshall post his graduation was influenced by the demon’s doing , ruining his life solely simply because he was his father’s son. once he realizes that marshall was planning to move to mausebrook, he decides to lift the barrier he created to stop their visions , & allowing their connection once again. he can’t kill marshall with his own two hands , but he can make his life a living hell & if they ever are to ever cross paths, he will be ready for him.

The Amusing Novelty Of Photography - Chapter 2: Rush of Rain

Dot found herself moving before she could think her plan through. She pulled herself up and dashed upwards on what felt similar to the steepest hill she had ever hiked up! Her Ion blaster dangled and swung wildly at her side until she took it into her hand and didn’t hesitate to warm it up. “Megatron,” It was scorching, even the mist below that formed between their firepower seemed to slowly turn into a sauna between two hot-blooded machines. “I need you to trust me and move to the left.” She could almost hear his audible “What?” echo from below in her earpiece. Her brown eyes shimmered in the direct beam of the sun as she watched Starscream’s signature null ray attempt to outshine their own planet’s star above before she took a shot at Soundwave’s head. “Just trust me.” There was no moment of hesitation in those harsh few seconds as the smoke of her overworked blaster was blown to the wayside as Megatron made a feign of attack before backing away. Before the null ray could even flash their way, Soundwave’s optics met her eyes. It was strange being seen by him, noticed to the point of looking between each other’s souls. She could see even with his visor there was nothing there but unbridled rage, hurt, and something so recognizably human, that it almost pained her to keep gazing into them. Wistfulness. Her finger clicked on the trigger and she silently wondered what he witnessed within her eyes. Did he also feel as if they had connected, or was he too blinded by his pain to see who and what she was. ‘Because I saw the living being that you are…’ Dot thought. ‘Dr. Meridian was wrong…’ The shot missed his head by mere seconds, and the null ray caused a huge explosion of water and electronics in the area to spring to life only to stop in a frozen state. Dot stood up, never looking away from the blue mech as Megatron looked back up into the sky, putting the dots together for the eventual assassination attempt. “Which means you can’t use your signature move.” It was a risky but smart plan if Megatron had been alone, nullifying them all on equal terms with a two-on-one. The failure of their plan rained upon them. The sound that was usually comforting was eerie around the anger-induced smoke that spilled from Soundwave’s vents. Despite that, he kept pushing his frame to make noise even if it rattled his frame painfully as he kept staring holes into her person. Megatron for once, did not exist in his peripheral vision. It was just Dot and Soundwave. Her hands shook as she watched him, no one seemed to know what to do. It all depended on how he reacted. Through rain and smoke, Soundwave lifted his right servo, his sharp digits pointed toward her and she could see the shine of Megatron’s bright red optics reflected in the metal of them. They were in the form of a gun. Skywarp teleported in shortly and that was when Megatron moved. The sound of jet engines blasting off in the distance was loud. Soundwave made a gesture of shooting her with that servo of his and before Megatron could properly shoot at them. They disappeared. The rain stopped. And all the soldiers' guns slowly fell to the wayside to cool off for the day. Okay, cool,

And like that

We really mean it this time

I guarantee another era is upon us

Fineeee I GUESS I'll be a good friend and ask something

Venus's relationships with other utmv characters? :0 like the most important ones?? You can also be silly and put ocs in there tooo

TEEHEE, THANK YOU, HAKUUUU ❤️

Venus actually has a decently important role as The Oracle of the Multiverse, which sounds crazy, but there's lore.

She has the ability to hear everything in the multiverse through her antenna (kind of like a radio signal), this includes future events!! But she can only hear, she can't see.

She only discovered this ability when she was pulled out of her AU, since it's not an ability she's actually born with, it's just her antenna picking up on everything around her.

She does have important relationships with some of the other characters, so lemme give a run down!!

Ink

Ink was actually Venus' first real friend when her AU was destroyed. Her hearing allowed her to hear him all the way in the Doodlesphere, and as someone who was new to the concept of the multiverse (and with scary new hearing abilities), she assumed he was a safe presence.

Ink actually also enjoyed her company as well, he used to draw her a lot, and her hearing abilities were considered helpful to him. However, after so long of being with him in the Doodlesphere, he noticed she wasn't really thriving in the ways he knew she could, so he ended up putting her in the company of someone else. That would be Fresh.

Their friendship is super strained because she misunderstood his true intentions, but they are mostly friendly, and she does cooperate with him when he needs her omni-hearing.

Error

Venus considers him her other coworker alongside Ink. She finds herself between the two on many occasions, but doesn't seem to mind. She actually does find Error pleasant, but they still struggle to actually get along because of their lack of an energy match.

Thanks to being between Ink and Error, Venus had to make a Vow of Neutrality, promising that she would not withhold oracle information from either of them, and they would get the same information. This vow is broken when Ink breaks his truce with Error, and Venus sides with the latter instead.

They get along on the occasion, but she mostly find him to be a fun target for teasing and irriating. When he destroyed those AU's, she was very much angrier with Ink than him.

Fresh

Fresh is pretty much Venus' best friend, and the only person that knows almost everything about her.. aside from Hatter. (More on him another time!!) They're an iconic duo in the Multiverse, almost never being found separated from each other.. unless they're doing their own thing, obviously. Otherwise, they're practically attached at the hip.

They're pretty much a major headache to anybody that has the fortune of being within 30 feet of them. They have an almost perfect energy match and no idea what a volume button is, so they're loud!! Venus has known Fresh since what feels like eons, even managing to escape becoming a potential vessel.. for a bargain, of course.

Cross

This one was actually pretty complicated to get an idea for because I know she didn't like him at first. Venus thought he was a problem thanks to the X-Event and the chaos that followed, however her mind changes.

She realizes that she needs to separate her anger towards Ink's broken promises and recognize that Cross was genuinely going through a lot of internal problems. Some that even she could relate to.

She definitely attempted to speak to him while he was in the Omega Timeline, since she was already there to comfort the poor anomalies that already lost their lives or homes.

Dream

Venus doesn't typically work with Dream, but seeing as they're both emotion based, they probably team up occasionally. Especially where Venus' powers involve emotional projection, she's able to help increase the flow of positive energy to give him a decent boost.

They're friends at best, often having similar opinions on things and even similar ideals!!

Nightmare

Venus has her ears on this guy for sure. In fact, she uses her emotional abilities in The Hub (more lore on that later) to help others get rid of their negative feelings. She wants to ensure that he has trouble causing or bringing harm to anyone under the influence of their own feelings. Unfortunately, she isn't always successful.

Rue

@rainyecho 's OC

Venus actually does like Rue a lot, she considers them a good friend despite the fact that they hang around Error all the time.. but she knows better than to let that dictate her opinions on people!!

She finds them pretty odd, seeing as they're a virus, but she's no better for hanging out with the parasite, so she pushes that aside. As long as Rue doesn't become a real threat towards Venus, she believes they're totally great best friends.. or something.

Null

@hakunakii 's OC

Venus is familiar with Null as the Multiverse's form of transportation, but they don't cross paths often enough to chat all the time. Regardless, in the few times they have stopped to chat, Venus has found them rather pleasant, but confusing. She feels like they have a potential energy match, but she's not too sure.. they seem odd. But once again, she's never let that prevent her from making a friend!! Perhaps she'll have to invite them around so she can get to know them better.

Void

@demifinnyfib 's OC

Venus thinks Void is pretty silly and.. also pretty stupid, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like their company!! She pities them, actually, considering they lost their memories. She believes it's depressing for forget who you are and who you came from, but Void seems so shockingly nonchalant about it. She just can't wrap her head around them. She's very fond of them, even if she feels bad for poor Goldie's loss.

Golden Guard!Sans

@demifinnyfib 's OC

Venus comforted Goldie when he first came to the Omega Timeline with the belief that his friend was dead. She thought it was such a heavy burden for him to have to carry all on his own, especially after finding out that his friend no longer had their memories.

Her heart aches for his situation, but she chooses not to get involved. Only offering her comfort when it's necessary, and sometimes even a piece of advice for him. She's fond of him, but lately his uptight nature has made him the punchline of many of her teasing remarks.

------

That's pretty much the gist of it!!

If there are any more questions, just ask!! It's super fun to answer questions and I definitely have the time to!!

And please lemme know if I missed anyone that you guys are curious about!!

@thedevilsbckbone liked for a starter!!

ONE WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN STRING OF COUGAR ATTACKS

The front page headline of the Deadwood Peak Bulletin read simply enough, but Eli knew better—knew in his bones—that there was so much more underneath the surface.

It had been a couple of months since he and Yvette ventured into those mines. The mines where they saw that thing. Eli took a seat at one of the farther-back pews, the pastor up front thanking everyone for attending Paloma's funeral after the harrowing news. It was a closed casket, of course. They never included these details in the paper on purpose, but he'd heard a word from the sheriff's office that the reason they knew it was Paloma for sure was because her nametag, ripped from the Starlight Diner uniform she was wearing the night she got killed, was the only thing that they could identify on the spot. Every other mauled bit of her—what they could gather from the remains—needed to be shipped off to autopsy and her identity was confirmed by her teeth.

Paloma was a nice woman, late 40s, a single mother of two. Her oldest son, Hayden, took the stand to deliver his eulogy. Eli wasn't aware of how tight his fist was until he felt a sudden headache rush to his head. He knew the truth: Cougars weren't to blame for all of the deaths happening in town. Paloma was the fifth one in such a short time, incredibly uncommon for the area. A few locals were fleeing town, some were staying put, armed. The once quiet town was on alert, on the defensive.

Since he and Yvette went into that mountain, they'd awoken something.

After the service, during refreshments, Eli spotted her across the room. He exchanged what he thought was a knowing look between them. He didn't want to go back into the mines, but what was happening seemed personal. Like the monster was going to keep doing this until someone tried to stop it. He closed the distance between them, leading Yvette into a quieter corner of the grieving room.

"Hey. You alright?"

#thedevilsbckbone #closed starter #IM SORRY THIS IS SO LONG #and i know the starter call was for a random horror film but #i miss them and i hope this works!!#lmk if not #i figure they've been trauma bonded #we can discuss what's happened in the past 2 months maybe??#but i am feeling like maybe eli backed out of going into the mines again after what happened bc he was scared asf

hi- (warning: long post/rant, tldr at the bottom)

i've being thinking about (grieving over) rise lately with my friends and like- i am so mad bc we got all of season 1

then season 2 was cut in HALF, forcing the team to do their thing and complete the WHOLE SERIES in FOUR EPISODES and they only had FOUR MONTHS to do it (which they did and its absolutely amazing)

then we got the movie in Aug 2022, which is probably the last Rise we'll get, what with the Mutant Mayhem movie coming out this year.

the real reason im mad is bc the creators of the show had planned for the show to be like 5-7 seasons, like PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER TMNT SHOW, and it only got 1.5 seasons, even though it may be better than other versions: the TEN SEASON TOY COMMERCIAL that was the 1980s cartoon, and all the different archs and seasons that 2003 got, which confuse me to this day being two examples of this, and so bc of the longer nature the show was intended to have, there are storyboards, deleted scenes, and rough animations out there that will never be completed by the actual team (shout out to all the AMAZING artists and animators recreating deleted scenes and revamping rough sketches and storyboards, as well as the rise season 3 fan project, ilysm thank you for doing the lords work)

the quality of the show, from the animation, to the voice acting, to the overall plot, to the comedy, to its ability to be darker or more serious when it needed to, to its amazing representation, not only in its casting but also its coding, was beyond SSS tier.

it was beautiful, and im so sad we wont get that ever again, not in the same way we did.

i dont wanna give up hope, there have been shows that were cancelled that came back, but mostly i just feel for the staff and cast, who you could tell really truly loved this show. they loved working on it, and they loved sharing it with us, i am so grateful for what we were given, but so mad that these people were forced to move on from something they loved.

TLDR; i love rise, its staff deserved better, amazing show, im sorry for the essay

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #tmnt 2018 #rise tmnt #long rant #im sorry this is so long #the longest post i have ever written #rise donnatello #rise leonardo #rise raphael #rise michaelangelo #rise april #rise splinter #have i tagged enough #probably lol

who would you have chosen for trap team's 3 missing reposes [i feel like the undead one should be fright rider since he's the one giants core that never got a repose]

I agree with Fright rider 100%

For Earth I'll pick Flashwing, because while she did get a Lightcore repose in Swapforce, she and Rider are still both the only two Giants characters without wow-pows.

And for Tech... I think I'd pick Wind-up. He's really really cool as a second Swapforce character.

I'd actually pick quite a few reposes for Trap team... But the game is already pretty gimmicky in terms of spending. I'd have to draw out my poster layouts to explain it. I like adding onto what's already canon rather than replacing things (with one exception)

@divinelght👂

send me 🕯️to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character. ⟶still accepting!

'She's my twin.' Ever since before they left the womb, Daemon and Aurora have been built-in companions. Though, one inner thought deals with just that—their parents. The firm belief held by his sibling, that their long-lost parents might still be alive stirs so many feelings of anger within him. He can't fathom holding onto such hope, knowing that they had abandoned them to rot in the forest. The years and years of her anticipation makes him resent her optimism. 'Why does she persist in bowing before gods who turn a blind eye to our struggles?'

The cleric's faith in Lathander aggravates him in ways he struggles to articulate. The god, a large part of their upbringing, is something he has grown to be indifferent about. Always questioning the ways of any of the Gods, he does not understand how she puts so much trust into something everyday. He sees it as a waste. He feels that her prayers and pleas to the Morning Lord could be put use toward something useful.

'These white flowers smell like her.' The scent of incense and gardenias will forever remind him of her, which often helps when he feels the darkness seeping into his soul. Despite their ups and their downs, his twin's positive traits—compassion, warmth, and optimism—remain constants that anchor him, even when he tries to push them away every chance he gets. And he will never admit it willingly. 'On such a numbingly quiet night like this, I wish Aurora was here to play something.'

Daemon is all too aware of his sister's more gullible and self-sacrificing tendencies, yet, he somehow respects her belief in redemption, friendship, and destiny. Her hobbies, like painting and playing the lyre are some of his favorites aspects he's protective of, and has always looked to for comfort on the hardest of days.

'I can't stand her boyfriend.'

The relationship between Aurora and Astarion adds a whole other layer to his thoughts. While his protective instincts might make him wary of anyone getting close to his sister, he observes their connection with a cautious acceptance. He knows his sister well enough to know that her determination is strong. Astarion's presence brings constant tension between the three because the fallen aasimar is convinced he will leave her just as their parents had once he's free.

'I know she can feel me slipping away.'

Aurora remains a guiding light, a piece of his past and present that he can't fully escape, no matter how much the darkness threatens to consume him. She may very well be the only light that can save him. Despite it all, Daemon will always be fiercely protective of his twin, even if he struggles to understand her choices.

🧠 🤲 !!

🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.

(i couldn't pick just one, so here's a few)

peter

- peter plays games like online solitaire, chess, sudoku.

- he goes on wikipedia, hits random and reads whatever articles pop up. he can sit there reading for hours.

- his comfort movie is legally blonde.

- he has a memorial tattoo for gwen.

ash

- this is more of a crack headcanon turned beloved, but i love the thought of him being an estranged member of the addams family. or morticia's family the frumps. i think in this one ash's mom was a frump.

wade

- wade loves parties. going to them, throwing them, it doesn't matter.

- wade loves pop music. britney spears, abba. he also loves charlie's angels.

(wade is britney coded and ash is lana coded. which are really funny energies to put together lol)

🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?

this is a scene from these hungry streets i haven't really had time to write yet, but it's peter/ash with hints of their sun/moon imagery.

peter sits up on the edge of a building, tired and discouraged. he's been swinging around for what feels like forever in the hopes of finding ash walking around in the early hours like before.

in his absorption with his thoughts, he almost misses her. but williams luck cancels out parker luck and he sees ash walking down the sidewalk below, dressed in a white wedding dress and veil, long legs eating up the pavement in graceful strides despite the high heels she's wearing.

she stops under a streetlamp to fish a cigarette and a lighter out of her garter pocket, lights up, and takes a drag, her face tilted up, eyes closed. peter's throat dries. she's so fucking beautiful. like some horrible angel made in a lab specifically to torment him.

peter's climbing down before he even realizes he's moved, jumping to the top of the streetlamp and gliding down it from a web upside down. ash hasn't seen him yet.

"what's a girl like you doing in a place like this?" ash immediately whirls around and punches him with her metal hand, quick as lightning, but peter's faster and catches her hand. "hey hey, it's just me, angel."

ash frowns, brows drawn together in anger.

"don't fucking scare me like that, you asshole," ash says. "what the hell are you doing here, anyway?"

"i was looking for you," replies peter, jumping down from the web strand. he moves closer to ash, hoping she isn't going to sock him again. ash just looks at him with those big dark eyes, made even bigger with the liner and mascara. her makeup glitters in the light, shimmering every time she moves, making her face look luminous. peter is entranced.

"why?"

"because i wanted to see you." it comes out more earnest than he'd meant, and peter cringes inwardly. might as well go for broke. "and to beg you to take me back."

"peter..."

"no wait, just listen to me," peter reaches for ash, pulling her closer. ash goes, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. peter almost gives in to the weak feeling inside him that wants to just sink into her, but fights it back so he can say his piece. "i love you, and i'm sorry--"

"peter, i love you too." peter's heart skips a beat. "but you have severe emotional problems and you need help." peter pulls back to look at her incredulously. ash rolls her eyes. "yeah i know. that's rich coming from miss mental illness america. but pete the way we're going isn't healthy. we almost ended up holding hands on the metaphorical train tracks."

"look, i'll give you anything, tell you whatever you wanna know, just don't disappear again."

"i can't promise that. but i'll try to leave a note if i do."

peter sighs in relief. "that's all i ask."

they stand there under the street light for a moment, embracing each other. ash pulls back with a tentative smile.

"do you wanna go to a party with me?" asks ash. peter's eyes widen in surprise at the sudden change in subject.

"a party?"

"yeah, that's where i was going when you scared the shit out of me. mystery inc. throws them every year."

peter gasps. "you know mystery inc.?"

"yeah, we help each other out sometimes." ash pulls out of peter's arms and tugs his hand in the direction he assumes the mystery gang's place is. "i didn't know you were a mystery inc. fan."

"i have all their books," replies peter, embarrassed. ash laughs.

#earth90214 #kimi replies #these hungry streets tag #im sorry this is so long #also ash and wade use he/she/they pronouns #so depending on how they're presenting they change #bc they're nonbinary #most of the posts in the tag are shitposts but this one is legit

calling kalpas babygirl that’s it that’s the ask 😃

OK BUT ACTUALLY????👀👀👀👀👀

ANON YOU ARE SO BIG BRAIN

I'm adding it to the list

I am having thoughts, I'm so sorry

first of all 👏yes👏

either he notices and doesn't say anything or he doesn't notice

probably bothers the others around you more than him

like imagine how mad Elysia would be if you called him that but she couldn't get away with it

you want cuddles?

tacking "babygirl" on the end of your request is more effective than saying "please"

guaranteed you are toasty with 10 seconds

imagine he's doing his monologue-ing thing, going on and on about how he's "the flame that will burn through your very soul" or whatever

hit him with a "come here babygirl" with your arms open and he'll wrap up real quick

I am so tired and none of this makes sense but I just.

hhhhhhhhh Kalpas 🧡

#anon you are so right #ive never called someone babygirl and it shows #but i fully believe kalpas would have no qualms with being called that #i have 3 tests and a quiz this week #i can have a little kalpas brainrot #as a treat #im sorry this is so long

ღ BunnyChet Hcs ღ

Your bun is having massive brainrot for these two still and it is literally all consuming. So y'all are gonna get some more random and cute hcs about them that's still as rambly but less about specifics and more just CUTE THINGS LOL. Because this ship is like filled with it, as cringe as it may beeee

Warning(s): self insert x canon, fluff, some highly suggestive mentions throughout

As I've mentioned before Chetney is her fucking yes man. Anybody disrespects her or talks down to her in any way (even if it's in just a disagreeable way) is met with him as pretty much her attack dog. He comes to her defense over the smallest of things to "defend her honor" whether that's strangers or others in the group. Something that is always met with a giggle from her.

There might be times that she might use this to her advantage or to have a little fun. Plus she does think it's a little adorable to watch him jump to her defense in such a feral way. And she rather feels a bit too powerful telling him to back down, especially if he's shifted into wolf form.... some of her favorite sites to see for particular reasons.

Chet never addresses her with the same nickname twice, unless by accident lmao, and is always coming up with new ones for her. Each one is cornier than the last, and if it makes her giggle than it's one that might be used when it's just the two of them. Though, he likes to keep her guessing, and she finds it endearing enough to humor it. Looking forward to hearing what the next one is going to be every day.

Some honorable mentions include: his 'lavender rose', floppy eared angel, and sweet bunny pie

The flirting between them is about much worse than you'd expect after things developed between them. Just as insufferable and cheesy as one would think, and somehow much worse than that on a good day. Bunny likes the attention a bit too much and is kind of weak for it, indulging in his quips with her own just as aggressively.

God forbid anyone is around her during a fight bc she will be thirsting after him when he's gone wolf mode and it will be a fuckin tiiimmeeee

Given that Bunny is a side sleeper that typically means that when they bunk together he's going to be between her thighs and using them as pillows (it's either that or just... between the tits lol). Sometimes he'll end up hugging them throughout the night, which is both adorable but also going to end up with her squeezing him in the middle of the night lmao

She occasionally wears accessories in her hair that were gifted from him, including a flower pin that is one made from a flower that was given to her the night that they had their "what are we" conversation. Even though she rotates from time to time to showcase different gifts from other gifts she's been given, that flower pin is one of her favorites and most notable.

Everywhere they visit he always has to give her something, whether that's something specialty made or something that he found for her. More often than not it's accessories that can go in the jewelry box that he made, making sure that she has plenty of options to choose from. And he can see her in them when they're together.

Chet can be a bit more extra himself if it means making her giggle. Anything to make Bunny happy and smiling and keep that goddamn adorable sparkle in her eyes. He might take it a bit too far or like all the fucking time which will only lead to Bunny getting annoyed and overprotective. But it was worth it for him lol

And to that end, Bunny is ridiculously protective over him. Both in any instance in which he is being his impulsive self, or if anybody were to try and fuck with him. Absolutely no one fucks with her gnome and gets away with it.

And my god if there's ever a time for her to be intensely protective she's gonna have to deal with his ass being all over her for the entire fucking day

She also likes to be extra cute and sweet when she wants something from him. It works every single time too, with him absolutely weak for her when she's being cute. Especially when it's directed at him. And now that she's his, it just means that he is like a moth to a fucking flame with her. And the dangerous part is that she knows.
