f1wags Have we cracked the case? Is our mystery Coachella girl from Lance Stroll's instagram story the one and only Yn Gasly?

Since the beginning of the season, Yn Gasly has been rumored to be linked with McLaren's Superstar Lando Norris or Ferrari's Star Boy Charles Leclerc. Since then, another hotshot driver was added to the mix; the Pride of Aston Martin F1 Team, Lance Stroll.

Since the Australian GP, Yn has been seen out and about Monaco with friends and family and she also attended Coachella in California bumping into Lewis Hamilton. Lance Stroll on the other hand was also spotted at Coachella after soft launching his girlfriend on Instagram Story. Right before, he was on a date night in Monaco.

The timelines match up, is Yn Gasly the new girlfriend of Lance Stroll? What are your thoughts?

I'm seeing age differences in those relationship charts-

But are those Real age differences, or are they part of their "Character" and not when they were actually made.

I'm assuming the latter because of them "remembering" the cartoon as you've put it- but the idea that they actually had real childhoods (one not just written up on some script) and were kids is both adorable and also very depressing.

Thinking about it, realizing you're an artificial being that was made directly into an teen/adult with only fake memories and stories from a tv show is some prime existential dread. I mean that seem like it could be one of the few things that could truly break the critters- especially for Catnap who seem adamant that there is a world to go back to, only to be faced with "that world- those memories were never real".

That kind of angst seems ripe for picking!

Alright - Combining these together.

Let's start off with a height chart and ages for the Critters! (Plus Angel), and this would be in feet - and yes these are the heights I am trying to keep consistent.

Find the original here.

Okay, more under the cut!

Let's start with our Anon. You are so right. I really want to make these guys have varied bodies, just like I did whenever I draw the FNAF animatronics. So it makes it tricky for me to keep the cartoon proportions, as I just want to lean into anthro proportions. But I strongly agree with you!

Okay. Moving on.

The ages for the Critters are based off of two things. My preference for having some older style toons - and I imagine these are based on their creation and not their ages on the show. I imagine the show kept them ageless, but around the same year. DogDay is our oldest, because I believe whoever created them in universe first thought of him before the other critters. I think the creator of the show originally meant to just have a small show with just DogDay, Bubba, and Picky - for whatever reasons. (She just gives off older vibes to me). Over time, the others were added in for various reasons. Hoppy is our youngest, as I like to think she was a last minute addition to the team to balance them out.

These ages are just what I have listed, but I think none of the critters really view themselves having the same age. I think if you were to ask any of them, their first answer would be at least twenty five. Five years working in PlayCare, ten after the Hour of Joy, and they would simply shrug off the rest.

Then there's Angel, who started working for the company at the age of twenty three. Stayed for three years, then left.

As for childhoods? They have a false one written into each of their characters. Excuse me while I ramble on about what the backgrounds they were "programmed" with.

DogDay was an only child and rather lonely. He decided to take that loneliness and work that much harder to befriend others and create meaningful relationships. He approached each critter one-on-one, and after that? He'd try to hold on to anyone he clicked with. He has so many false memories of his family and his time with his friends before the show's "start". Though... If he actually thinks about it, he starts to question why he never had any pictures of these memories. However, once brought into the "real" world, he adjusted to this realization.

Bubba was the first to be approached, though he knew DogDay when they were children. They grew up together, and DogDay really helped him get past his awkward phase. He spent so much time trying to focus on learning, fascinated by everything he could read about. DogDay helped him come out of his shell and befriend others. He was the first to realize his memories were fake and adjusted incredibly well. As far as he saw it - yes. They weren't "real" creatures in the show, but existing in PlayCare? They were alive. Did the past really matter when the present was far more important?

Picky grew up with a massive family. She is the eldest of her siblings and had always taken on a caretaker kind of role. She happened to meet DogDay towards the end of their childhood, an was confused when this excited dog insisted on dragging her over to meet a rather shy elephant. She found them both to be weird, but she warmed up to them quickly. She struggled with the realization that her memories were fake. After all, this meant that the family she had, the siblings she loved so deeply and cared for... None of that existed. To cope, she ended up taking care of the kids that much more. She was going to heal her sorrows by making new memories.

CatNap happened to wander in to town on their own, deciding to make a life for themselves - despite their young age. They was probably three days into their solitude when DogDay discovered them in a tree. CatNap was confused and insisted that DogDay leave them be, but the pup wasn't backing down. Eventually, he convinced them to come down and join him and Bubba for a picnic. Though CatNap and Bubba didn't get along at first, CatNap and DogDay were inseparable after that day. They discovered their memories were false due to their recall. They poked their head around the councilor's office and discovered too much, and CatNap just couldn't handle it. They still don't believe all of those memories were fake, and they just want to cling to those nonexistent days.

Bobby moved into town with her family, a middle child with three older siblings and one younger adopted sibling. She happened to run into DogDay during a Valentine's Day celebration. She had taken charge of the decorating, and was impressed that DogDay not only wanted to help, but enlisted his friends to help too! This is how she met Bubba, Picky, Kickin and CatNap in their teen years. She couldn't thank them enough and was the first to suggest a weekly meetup for them. She still has not realized these memories are fake, but she is suspicious of some details and has her doubts.

Kickin is the youngest child in his family, adopting a cool persona to help his self esteem issues. He didn't meet the others until later on, in the end on their childhood and the start of their teen years. He met CatNap first on accident, catching the cat being cornered by some larger critters. Despite being so tiny, Kickin' jumped in to defend the cat, and though the two didn't fair well, they immediately bonded. CatNap soon introduced him to DogDay. Though they liked each other, Kickin' always felt the need to one-up him. A rival. He has not realized the memories are fake, but he has no idea.

Crafty was an only child, but incredibly gifted. She happened to find herself in town to study, though she had a small desire to follow her art. She often spent time alone, finding a quiet spot to occasionally doodle between her studies. It was during one of these days when she met DogDay - who had no concept of personal space and leaned on her, asking her what she was drawing. Of course, this scared the hell out of her. Afterwards, DogDay apologized and insisted that he make it up to her by inviting her to the group's weekly hang-out. When Crafty met the others, she was amazed by how welcoming the other Critters were. She then began to start coming up with ideas on friendship charms and was the one to propose the idea. Everyone voted on what type of charm best suited the others. She is deep in denial that her memories are false, but deep down? She thinks she's always known.

Hoppy was the last to join the group. She met DogDay during a sporting event - as he was there to root for Kickin' (and CatNap, though CatNap spent the game sleeping on the benches). He was impressed by her sportsmanship, and she found his sunshine behavior pretty funny. They clicked almost immediately, so he grabbed her hand and quite literally dragged her to the others. While Hoppy didn't get along with the others that quickly, she stuck around. Because Hoppy was a last minute addition to the show, her memories are the most fragmented. It stresses her out if she dwells on it, so she ignores it.

CatNap's insistence on returning to their cartoon is probably the one thing that deeply angers DogDay as well. In the cartoon, they didn't have freewill. They could not feel things outside of their script - at least, not to the same extent. In the "real" world, DogDay felt they could finally be themselves. That they could truly be alive, even though they were technically prisoners to Playtime Co. DogDay couldn't express his love for the others in the cartoon. His friends couldn't be as happy - like Bobby and Hoppy. They could never be together in that world.

So, hearing CatNap demand that they just give up their freedom? Yeah. This is probably one of the only things that they fought about.

Babys Breath, iii

pairing: bob floyd x seresin!florist!reader

summary: Bob stumbles into the nearest florist to the funeral he’s attending and, unknowingly, charms Jake Seresin’s sweet younger sister with all the anxious charm he possesses.

warnings: everyone calls reader “sunshine”, fluff!!!, protective older brother jake??, warnings will differ depending on chapter, no use of y/n or description of reader, not proofread

word count: 1088 words

authors note: boom, third part! more sweet sweet interactions of bobby and sunshine!!! as always, please enjoy! mwah! if you'd like to be added to the tag list just drop a comment :)

tag list: @myownworstenemyyy @kloofspeaks @bcon24 @chaosofmanyfandoms @strangerparks

find the masterlist here!

read the previous part here! and the next part here!

Shit.

How could you be so careless? If you let either one of them know about each other it could be the end of everything, Jake was the most dramatic person you’d ever known. You really couldn’t predicate how Bob would react to Jake being your brother but anyone with a brain could guess it wouldn’t be well.

you do…but it doesn’t matter :)

You watched the three bubbles pop up before his message of Fair enough and some other words popped up, the relief flooded through your body as he didn’t question it any further. Luck was on your side here, you and Jake didn’t look alike in the slightest. Growing up you were constantly asked if one of you was adopted or if you were half-siblings or cousins, it worked in your favor when you wanted to flirt with people who were scared of your brother. Other than that it was just frustrating, you’d be a millionaire if you had a nickel for every time someone asked if you were really siblings.

Jake was notorious for scaring anyone who was interested in you, playing the scary older brother card. He had been protective of you for as long as you can remember, running to your rescue even when you didn’t want him to. Deep down you knew it was because he loved you, wanted to make sure you were safe. On the surface you voiced your frustration, one time you went an entire month without uttering a word to him. He tried texting you during that month but you had him blocked. You knew this whole stunt about not texting Bob was rooted in his protectiveness, and his ego.

You spent the rest of the night learning the ins-and-outs of Bob Floyd, all the things that make him tick. And he did the same with you. You learned he almost didn’t come back to Top Gun due to a family emergency, you made sure he knew you were glad he came. He learned you hated bugs, not that you were scared of them, but their presence just ticked you off. If you had been with him you’d have heard his laugh ring out at the message, he’d never met someone who felt so strongly about bugs. Every time the vibration of a text came through you broke out into a huge smile, scrambling to pick it up and respond.

Can I visit you at the shop tomorrow?

He threw his phone towards the end of the bed, rubbing his eyes underneath his glasses. What if you thought it was too soon? What if you thought he was weird? What if you didn’t actual care for him and were only-

of course! I open at about 9am and we close around 6

He let out a shaky breath at the message, smiling softly as he chewed on his lower lip. He asked if you liked coffee and then asked what your favorite kind is, trying to figure out if he had to go out of his way to get you some in the morning. Even if you were playing a cruel joke on him it didn’t mean he could half-ass any of his flirting. Even if the universe was just being an ass, he was going to play all his cards right.

You said your goodnights and placed your phone on the nightstand next to your bed, a small smile playing on your face as you thought about the conversation. It fell when you heard movement from Jake’s room, now all you could think about was how you were going to keep this from him and how he would react if he found out. You typically weren’t one to dig holes but the hole you found yourself in was waist deep and only getting bigger.

Ding!

You looked up from the flowers you were placing in the display case to see the sandy blonde aviator you were expecting, not so early but you welcomed the surprise. He had two paper coffee cups in his hand and a picture worthy smile on his face.

“Went to get coffee and remembered you were on the drive to work.” He lied, not that you know, knowing he intentionally went out of his way to see you on his way there. “I got whatever concoction you texted last night.”

“Oh thank god, I overslept and didn’t get a chance to make a cup! My asshole of a brother wasn’t too kind to make me some either.” You rolled your eyes when you spoke about your brother, taking the coffee from Bob with a smile. A moan leaving your mouth as you took a sip. “Jesus, Bobby. This is way better than anything I’ve ever had, this is my exact order?”

“Exactly as you texted it, it’s from a place around the corner. They’re pretty good.” He smiled, his cheeks turning pink at the moan and the compliment. “From what I hear your brother isn’t the greatest person. You’re sure I know him?”

“I’ll check them out later.” You took another sip of the coffee, listening to him talk about Jake without knowing it was about him. You figured he’d speak the same way even if he knew it was Jake, most people weren’t his biggest fan. Yourself included some days. “One hundred percent, or at least he knows you. Don’t worry about it though, he’s unimportant.”

Bob spent all his free time that morning leaning against a glass case full of example bouquets, talking to you about the day ahead. He spoke about the training he had, having to explain some of it in simpler terms for you to truly understand. You spoke about the orders you had to fulfill, explaining some of the flowers and where they were going. It was clear to both of you that the other loved their job, the passion exuded when you spoke was obvious. You waved him goodbye as his free time was, very quickly, ending. You flipped the sign to open and watched him walk to his car, pulling out your phone to send him a quick text.

thanks for coming to see me, bobby. I needed the pick me up this morning 🫶🏼

When he looked back at the front door you had already moved to go do something else within the shop. He smiled at the nickname, pocketing his phone and making his way to the base. He really needed to figure out which asshole he worked with was related to you.

a shitty analyzation of AM/RAM/CAM's manufacturing years

OKAY SO. hear me the fuck out here. something people seem to befuddle and get messy is the fact that IHNMaIMS takes place in an alternate universe where the cold war became wwIII- and on occasion i decide to try and shuffle through lore soo.. yeah.

there will be a lot of text and i don't actually expect anyone to read this, it's more for myself. but!! i tried to make everything somewhat simple to understand, so hopefully my points are clear enough.

First off, I SWEAR I read somewhere that AM was created during the height of the Cold War, which with a google search gives you October 1962...and honestly, that's not a terrible year, by itself, but I'll get into why I don't really like it a bit later.

For now, here's some text from the short story/comic (yes, I added both, sue me):

For this we get a base timeline, asthe Cold War was from 1947–1991.

And this states when they were actually worked on, 1945-1989, which is actually pretty inline with the years of our Cold War! Since it implies that they were worked on during those years, the supercomputers were finished around 1989 give or take a few years (I assume 1989 was the year the last was finished, ceasing the working on).

Which, given that, we can begin to guess what years each were worked on... 1945-19?? ("oldest") 19??-19?? ("middle") 19??-1989 ("youngest")

And that leads us into the "age" order! This is going to be based on the countries, nothing else: - America generally seems to be considered the most powerful during this time; along with the fact that they had made ENIAC (the first digital computer) in 1945 helps back this up that, given they were high in tensions, they would make a war computer, and AM would be the "oldest" (that could be an explanation as to why it is the surface computer quote, unquote, because it was the first). - Russia had a bit of difficulty in technology at first but caught up to America fairly quickly, if you look at the Space Race. With this in mind, they would likely have started some time after America began their supercomputer, resulting in RAM being the "middle". - China was actually in a Civil War from 1927–1949, meaning they likely had less resources to even think about making a supercomputer for a while, and logically would have started and thus finished last, making CAM the "youngest".

Now, I know this goes against typical thought processes, and I do agree that AM is childish. But then again, I think of AM as...not separate from CAM and RAM. They are supposed to be AM together, mainly due to these from an above picture:

They began to speak to each other. The deadly trio. The three poisonous brothers, the three deranged sisters, the three computers. And they united. They called themselves AM. Not Allied Mastercomputer. Not Adaptive Manipulator. Not even Aggressive Menace. They…it…called itself AM, as in I AM. Cogito ergo sum, in Latin. I think, therefore I AM.

Because the Final War has broken out, and in a matter of a few days AM has done the perfect job of fulfilling the purpose for which its separate parts were created. Built to logically destroy the enemy as swiftly and sweetly as a superior intelligence could manage, in the Most Perfect of All Worlds, the unholy trinity of the merged one-mind AM has done just that. It has murdered the enemy totally. It has wiped the human race off the face of the planet.

So, while you can think of them as siblings, note that they're more or less the same unit of thought (this is to say, I do love the idea of them being siblings/triplets and 100% agree that AM would be the youngest).

Although, to possibly use the headcanons where Ellen and/or Benny worked on AM, it would have been finished in 1989. Note that the youngest either would be able to be would be 41, assuming they were 18 as of 1989, therefore they're likely older (this is going with its takeover being in 2012).

Remember the year 1962? Going with...whatever I might've read, 27 years for a military supercomputer makes sense, seeing as it would hold all knowledge!

anyway that's all for now i have no idea what else to write thanks for reading thiss <3

Links: SHORT STORY (PDF) STRATEGY GUIDE (MONSTER read, I haven't finished it in all truth) MANUAL (explains the game a bit, think of it as instructions) COMIC (comic of the short story, slightly different wording)

Inside the sibling matchup between Brady and Matthew Tkachuk and their all-star sister, Taryn

According to Chantal, Matthew and Brady were “always, always, always” competing hard in things roller hockey, basketball and even a made-up game called “trampoline football” that just consisted of the siblings throwing a football and body checking each other on the trampoline in their backyard.

“It was almost a joke in our family,” she said. “You know, they’d go out and play roller hockey and we’d be like, ‘OK how many minutes until they come in and somebody is complaining or fighting?’ And sure enough, somebody would come in complaining, and then they’d be back out five minutes later playing again. They just always were each other’s playmates and just competed all the time.”

When asked if there was one particular fight, or moment that stood out, Chantal joked that there were too many to just pick one.

“Oh god, it happened kind of regularly,” she said laughing. “I mean, I’ve replaced windows from hockey pucks. I’ve had to patch walls from mini-stick games that got a little physical with body checking each other into the walls. So there’s not really one that stands out because it was sort of the way they were all along. They just played hard and had fun.

“They always played mini-sticks in the wives lounge too,” she added. “I think the other wives with no kids thought I was crazy because (the boys) would usually end up rolling around the floor tackling one another.”

Brady remembers the brotherly fights fondly.

“Oh yeah, there were a bunch of fights she had to break up or we’d come in the house flying around on our rollerblades trying to get at one another or me trying to get away,” he said with a laugh. “It’s a lot of good memories, and I think it made us both who we are today.”

“It’s hard not to be everywhere you want to be at the time, but the boys understand that their sister’s stuff is important too, and this is a big tournament for her this weekend,” Chantal said on the phone from Tampa. “They keep checking in. We have a family group text chat and they always want the updates on how she is doing.”

“I am Taryn’s biggest fan,” Brady said. “She recently committed (NCAA Division I) to play for (University of Virginia) and we are all super happy for her.”

Brady and Taryn are especially close because when Matthew left the house to join the U.S. National Development Program, they only had each other.

“They’ve got a cute, sweet bond,” Chantal said. “But both the boys are really supportive, and she knows it and I think that makes her feel pretty special.”

Brady and Matthew have become well known for being exactly like their dad on the ice. And well, Taryn isn’t too different. In some of her highlight videos, you can see her skill, physicality and knack for “accidentally” running into opposing goalies.

“She’s a Tkachuk,” Brady said with a big grin.

It’s not hard to see where she gets it from either. When Brady and Matthew were competing in the driveway or body checking each other on the trampoline, Taryn was often right in the thick of it with them. If she wanted to play, she had to compete hard. And that’s followed her onto the field, just like it followed her brothers on the ice.

Luthor & Lane

Staring at the text like it offended her, Lena wonders why she agreed to meet. She is already unsure about this trip to Metropolis, even if it is for The Lena Luthor Foundation. Now she has the added stress of meeting up with Lucy Lane. Of course they’ve met before. In fact, they met long before she met Kara. Back when Lex and Clark were best friends, the three of them would hang out with the Lane sisters. Being so much younger than everyone else, Lena and Lucy were basically forced together while their older siblings hung out.

So yes, she’s known the younger Lane for a long time. Known of her, really. They were more acquaintances than anything else, but familiar enough with each other that they were able to spend time together without too much awkwardness. Although, it has been years since they’ve seen each other. Well, until Lucy came back to National City to check on Kara after her return from the Phantom Zone.

So here she is, landing at the Metropolis airport, her first visit in years. She actually has plans to meet the younger Lane around 7 at a bar for drinks. After Kara’s return as well as her own journey to Newfoundland in exploration of her magical ancestry, Lena's been pushing herself to try new things, to step outside her comfort zone. And since making friends has never really been her forte, she agrees to hang out with Lucy. Alone. Without her Kryptonian buffer. She really wasn’t kidding all those years ago when she told Kara that the blonde was her only friend in National City. What she didn’t say at the time is that the blonde was her only friend period. Which means, this is definitely outside her comfort zone.

Her little hodge podge family, the one that means more to her than anything in the universe, has been encouraging her to meet new people. To just be herself. She’s grateful for them and their confidence in her, truly, but there’s so much history between the Luthors and Lanes. At this point, she’s pretty sure meeting a perfect stranger in a bar would make her less nervous. What could the two of them possibly have in common? Sure, they both dated James and they’re both friends with Kara, but will that be enough to carry a conversation?

Come on, Luthor. You stare down misogynistic old men all the time, Lucy Lane is a tiny, petite, very attractive woman. Okay, slow your tragically gay horses, Lena. Fuck. Now you’re having a full-blown conversation with yourself. Maybe insanity is a family trait.

She sighs. She seriously needs to stop talking to herself, even if it is only in her head and not aloud. Her eyes focus on the street outside the airport, a sleek black town car awaiting her at the curb. She slides into the back seat after passing her luggage off to the smiling man standing by the open door. The driver is familiar, having worked for the Luthors for years.

“Good evening, Hector. It’s been a while.” Lena smiles, and makes eye contact through the rearview mirror as he gets settled. “I’ll be staying at the penthouse and not the manor.” She maintains eye contact and Hector prepares to pull into traffic. “How’re Donovan and the kids?”

Hector returns the smile and fills Lena in on his little family as they make their way through the Metropolis streets. By the time they arrive at the penthouse, she’s heard all about the twins and their new hobbies. She grabs her bags and makes her way inside, taking the private elevator to a place that hasn’t been home to her in over 6 years.

As she opens the door, she is grateful she had the staff that maintains the place air it out and restock everything for her short stay. It’s stifling enough as it is without the air being stale as well. Stepping inside the sterile place is a stark reminder that National City really has truly become her home. Glancing at her watch, she realizes there’s only an hour left before she has to meet Lucy. She heads to the bedroom and ensuite to freshen up, her stomach still nervously churning as she desperately hopes the night goes smoothly.

The walk to the bar was thankfully short. It’s one of the reasons she chose the place, it’s within walking distance of her penthouse and they stock her favorite top shelf scotch. The green-eyed brunette isn’t hard to spot as Lena walks inside and makes her way to the bar. They make eye contact and smile in acknowledgement when Lena sits down.

“Long time, no-see, Luthor.” Lucy grins, casually looking her up and down. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in anything so casual. Always suits or pencil skirts. You look good.”

Lena does her best to school her features, the blatant compliment catching her off guard. “Appreciate it, Lane. You look good as well. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so relaxed.” She grins and quickly orders a double scotch. “Metropolis must be treating you well.”

They ease into small talk, Lucy filling her in on what’s going on in her life, how things are with Clark, Lois, and Jon, and her decision to leave the military to practice law privately. In turn, Lena fills her in on renaming L-Corp again, naming Sam as the new CEO, and starting The Lena Luthor Foundation. The conversation is simple and flows easily when they’re talking about things that aren’t too personal. When they stick to things that are either public or common knowledge, Lena knows how to handle it. It’s when things start venturing into the more personal and private aspects of her life that she starts to squirm a little.

“So, you dating anybody, Luthor?” Lucy asks, a knowing smirk on her face as she sips the brown liquid in her glass. “The last person I heard about was James and that’s been three plus years ago now, right?” She sits her glass down and leans back, eyeing the obviously nervous woman across from her.

She’s gone toe-to-toe with the older Lane sister on several occasions, that is miles worse than having a simple conversation about dating. Isn’t it? Lena clears her throat and rolls her eyes, refusing to let Lucy see her squirm. “I haven’t really had time to date anyone since James and I split. End of the world, the multiverse collapse, and evil, insane older brothers with mommy issues tend to take precedence.” She takes a long swallow from her glass, mossy green eyes observing the smaller woman. “What about you, Lane? Find anyone to keep you busy between discharges and trials?”

Lucy chuckles, leaning forward, placing her forearms on the bar and wrapping both hands around her glass. “I’ve dated here and there. More so just to scratch that periodic itch than looking for a relationship.” Inquisitive green eyes bouncing between Lena’s own. “How’s Kara doing?”

The emphasis on the blonde’s name doesn’t go unnoticed.

A dark, perfectly manicured brow arches as her head tilts. “She’s been doing a lot better the past couple of weeks. I’m pretty sure you know that since she told me that you've texted at least once a week since she got back.” Her eyes narrow as she watches a mischievous glint shine in Lucy’s eyes. “What are you getting at, Lane?”

“I’m not getting at anything, Luthor!” A shit-eating grin crawls across her face and she orders them another round of drinks. “She talks about you a lot. Even in text. If I didn’t know the situation the way I do, I’d think you two were dating.” Her smile grows bigger as the bartender drops their drinks on the dark wood in front of them.

Lena’s not sure what happens first, the sputtering noise that spills from her lips or almost knocking her fresh glass of scotch over. Regardless, she’s momentarily stunned into a mouth-gaping, flustered mess. “Wha–why wou–You.” She fumbles incoherently, letting a frustrated groan escape before she can catch it. She sighs and shakes her head, still trying to figure out how she’s going to respond. She settles on the usual phrase. “Kara and I are just friends. You’ve been around us enough to see that, Lucy.”

Lucy laughs, a full-blown belly laugh before she seems to collect herself to down the last of her second serving of whiskey. “Oh, I’ve definitely seen the two of you together enough to know there’s more to it.” She motions to the bartender for another round for the pair. “I have also known Kara long enough to know that she is the most oblivious being on this planet and probably several others, if I’m being honest.”

Lena polishes off the last sip of her second round as the third is being deposited in front of her. She smiles and nods her head in agreement before raising her glass to Lucy’s. They clink them together as they both chuckle before savoring the flavor of the expensive alcohol. “She is pretty oblivious, huh? An adorably oblivious puppy.” Raven colored locks fall into her face as she tilts her head in thought. “I suppose it isn’t really her fault. Human customs and norms must be so odd to her, even after all these years. Social cues aren’t easy to master, I should know.”

“Yeah, I talked to Clark about it once. She still struggles with social cues and thinks people are just really nice when they’re flirting.” Lucy grins, throwing a wink at Lena. “And don’t get me started on her secret identity. She genuinely thinks she’s good at hiding it. I mean, come on! Glasses and a ponytail?!” She scoffs, downing another large gulp of the smooth golden liquid.

“Right?!” Lena exclaims. “She’s such a terrible liar and her excuses for disappearing for super emergencies? I mean, come on!” She rolls her eyes and smirks. “One time, she told me that she flew to my office on a bus. On a bus, Lucy.”

They both laugh heartily, tears forming at the edges of their eyes. Each of them subtly glancing at the other, refusing to acknowledge the fact that they were both duped by the glasses and ponytail they willingly scoffed at seconds prior. Nope, that would require the two ultra-competitive type-A personalities to admit to being fooled by the adorkable superhero.

They finish drink number three, both definitely feeling the effects of the alcohol pulsing in their bloodstream. Lucy gives the bartender a crooked grin, her eyes half-lidded and glassy as she asks for another round. While they wait for the next round to land in front of them, an idea pops into Lucy’s head. She decides they should move to the far corner of the bar where the dart boards and pool tables reside.

She nods her head in confirmation to herself before speaking. “Come on, Luthor. We have to play pool and darts, we’re at a bar.” She sloppily points in the direction of the games in question, a cocksure smile on her face. “I bet I beat you in both. What do you want to wager?”

The comment stokes Lena’s competitive side. She lifts a questioning brow, giving her best boss bitch glare, topped off with her cockiest smirk. “Oh you’re on, Lane. You’re going down.” They head toward the dart boards first. Lena’s never in her life thrown a dart at anything nor does she know how to play the game, but she’ll be damned if she backs down from a challenge. “What are the terms of this little wager?” She’s decidedly over confident in her abilities at the moment, but backing down is not an option. She is a Luthor after all. A good competition is fun, right? Especially when she’s feeling this thoroughly relaxed, nevermind that she’s essentially a drink away from staggeringly inebriated.

“Let’s see…” Lucy says as she tries to tap her fingers on her chin, but ends up practically picking her nose instead. Looking at her hand as if it offended her, she shakes her head and locks eyes with Lena. “If I win, you have to tell Kara you have the hots for her.” Lucy giggles as she watches the gorgeous onyx haired woman beside her blink owlishly while inelegantly fish mouthing. For a second, she thinks she might have broken the genius woman. It makes her fully burst into a bellowing laugh.

Before Lena can respond, round number four is dropped in front of them. Lucy snatches hers up and unsteadily stands from her bar stool. She pauses to glance over her shoulder and continues laughing as Lena stands frozen, mouth still gaping wide. Eventually, the genius CEO reanimates and follows behind her.

They make their way over to the dart boards first. The brunette gathers the darts, Lucy taking the red ones and Lena the black. Seeming to sense that Lena either hasn’t ever played or isn’t familiar with the game, Lucy takes the lead. After watching Lucy throw her first few darts, Lena realizes her background in physics should help her immensely. She smirks.

Turns out, her less than sober demeanor doesn’t do her any favors. To say that Lena is bad at darts would be a gross understatement. She’s horrendously terrible and Lucy ends up kicking her ass, gloating all the way to the pool tables.

“You truly suck at darts, Luthor. I’m actually impressed at how bad you are.” She chuckles and shakes her head. “We never discussed your terms for winning our little wager, but I guess it doesn’t matter now, huh?” She staggers a little as they reach the first open pool table, leaning against it for support.

Lena sighs, perching next to the shorter woman, leaning against the felt edge of the table. “We could sweeten the wager. If I beat you in a game of pool, you release me from the obligations of the dart bet.” She grins, thinking herself pretty clever at coming up with that little nugget. Her thoughts are a bit fuzzy from all of the alcohol still swimming in her veins. “What do you want for winning this round, Lane?”

Lucy pauses, her head slowly turns toward Lena and a truly devilish grin stretches across her face. “Easy. The obligations of the dart bet stand, you still have to fess up and admit that you’re in love with the all too cute super-puppy. However, if I win at least two out of three games of pool, you have to call her and ask her to dinner while you’re here in Metropolis. On. A. Date.” She punctuates each of the last words by poking Lena in the shoulder. “I’m sure you have a chef or something at that fancy penthouse of yours. That is acceptable, but you have to confess your feelings over dinner.”

Lena is speechless. She’s at a disadvantage. Again. She’s never played pool either. She’s watched Alex and some of the other Superfriends play at Al’s, but she’s never joined. Sure, she gets the concept and she can figure out the math of it all, but she has no clue how to actually play it. Add the fact that she is without a doubt quite drunk at the moment, she knows she can’t win. At this point, she’s fucked and not in a good way.

“So, if I manage to win, you drop the bets altogether, but if you win, you’re basically doubling down?” Lena raises her signature brow, hoping it is as menacing as it usually is, though she’s pretty sure she looks like a confused toddler trying to decipher a new word. “You drive a hard bargain, Lane. I respect your style.”

They both eye each other and then seem to come to an agreement as they reach their hands out and shake on it.

Initially her anxiety plays heavily into her seemingly hopeless foray into bar games, but it turns out Lena actually isn’t horrible at pool. The first game is a little shaky as she gets used to the rules and the feel of the cue stick in her hands, but she manages to hold her own. She still loses, but it is closer than either of them anticipated.

The second game, she is feeling a bit more confident and ends up just barely squeaking out a win, much to the dismay of the younger Lane. They stare at each other across the table as Lucy sets everything up for their final game. It’s at that moment that Lena realizes that as much as she wants to win, she also kind of hopes she loses. If nothing else, it gives her the catalyst she’s needed to finally tell Kara how she feels. It’s a revelation that startles her at the same time it makes her giddy.

When she focuses back on the moment again, Lucy is staring at her, head tilted and an amused look on her face. “What’s going on in that genius brain of yours, Luthor? From the look on your face, you just had a major revelation about something or the scotch is finally talking back.” She sports that all too smug smirk again and saunters over to Lena to hand her the cue ball. “Winner of the last game goes first. Care to share?”

Lena takes the ball from her and waltzes over to the edge of the table, dropping the ball in place and giving her own smug smirk. “There’s nothing to share, Lane. Let’s get this show on the road. One of us is going down.” She winks at the brunette and sends the cue ball soaring across the table. She manages to sink two balls, but misses on the third. “Why are you so dead set on getting me to tell Kara how I feel? Wait, how do you even know how I feel?”

Lucy laughs, the two of them really are fucking clueless. “Seriously, Luthor? Anyone within a 2 mile radius of you two can see how you feel!” She chuckles even more as Lena does her best fish impression, opening and closing her mouth several times before huffing and crossing her arms. “And I’m interested because I want Kara to be happy. She deserves it.”

After sinking a majority of the striped balls, Lucy finally misses, turning the table back over to her. Lena walks around the table looking for a decent shot before she turns back to the brunette. “You’re right, she does deserve to be happy, but that doesn’t mean I’m the right person for that.” She sighs, the cue ball clacking against one of the last few solid balls remaining. Standing and narrowing her eyes at the woman across the table, she glares. “You seem sure that she would be open to something like this. Why is that?”

They both watch as the solid ball bounces off the corner pocket and back across the felt table, leaving Lena with three balls to Lucy’s one. “For someone so smart, you sure are dumb, Luthor.” Her grin widens as Lena scoffs at her. “Kara feels the same way, she’s just too scared to admit it. Trust me.” She sinks the last striped ball and walks around to find the best angle on the 8 ball. “Besides, every time I talk to her she’s going on and on about you. Lena this and Lena that and Lena’s so amazing. Blah. Blah. Blah. Like I said earlier, if I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were dating already.”

She watches as Lucy sinks the final nail into her coffin. She’s lost another game to the feisty brunette. Lillian is probably rolling over in her grave. She sighs, drops her cue stick back into its holder, and turns to face her opponent. “Alright Lane, you won fair and square.” She glances at her watch and realizes it’s just after 10 p.m. Gods, it feels much later, she thinks. “What are the rules here? I have to call her and ask her to a dinner date tomorrow, then confess my feelings. How are you going to know if I hold up my end of the deal?”

“Oh that’s simple, I will hear from Kara pretty quickly.” A shit-eating grin splits her face, she didn’t bother to tell Lena that Kara’s already told her that she’s in love with the genius woman, but is too scared to tell her. Sue her if she wants these two idiots to get their heads out of their asses. “I guarantee you that I will either get a phone call or a text from her the minute she’s done talking to you.”

Lena narrows her eyes at the petite woman. There’s something more to this, her spidey senses are tingling. “What are you up to, Lane? Don’t forget I grew up in a house full of dishonesty, betrayal, and professional liars. I can smell a scheme from a mile away.” She steps closer to Lucy and watches the brunette closely. Her eyes never waver, her head held high and shoulders remain squared. Regardless of any outward sign, she’s definitely up to something.

Lucy plucks Lena’s phone from her hand and quickly navigates to Kara’s contact. Interesting – it’s Lena’s number one in her favorites. She presses the call button and hands it over. Laughing as Lena sputters and flips her off as they make their way over to the bar to cash out their tab for the night. Just as Lena signs the credit card slip, Kara’s melodic voice sounds on the other end of the line.

“Hi Lena.” She says, a smile evident in her voice. “Oh, it’s loud. Are you still at the bar with Luce?”

“Hello, Darling.” Lena says, hearing the slight lilt in her speech. She glares at Lucy as the shorter woman has the gall to gesture and giggle at her while they make their way out onto the street. “We’re just leaving the bar now.”

Lucy continues walking alongside Lena toward her penthouse as she and Kara chat about their evening. When they eventually make it to the lobby of the building, Lucy pauses and makes a ‘wrap it up’ gesture with a raised brow added for good measure. The patented Luthor glare is what she gets in return causing her to gulp. That thing is a potent weapon, Lucy thinks, shaking and shuddering. She watches as Lena wraps up the conversation with the question she’s been waiting for.

“So, what are your plans tomorrow evening once you get off work?” Lena asks, a flutter of nervousness dancing across her skin and twirling in her stomach. She patiently waits for Kara’s response.

“Nothing on the agenda. The usual, dinner and patrol. Hopefully it’s a quiet night.” Kara says alongside the muffled noise of the television playing in the background. “What about you?”

Lena smiles, here goes nothing. “Well, I was wondering if you wanted to fly over and have a dinner date with me. We can order in and watch a movie. Whatever you want.” She does her best to swallow the terrified feeling brewing in her throat and hopes Kara isn’t listening to her heartbeat at the moment.

“Are you okay, Lena?” She asks, obvious concern laced in her voice. “Your heart is beating really fast. Is someone trying to hurt you?” A slight panicked tone knits itself into the blonde’s last sentence.

“Darling, I’m fine. Just a little tired.” Lena sighs, rolling her eyes and flipping the bird at Lucy again as she stands across from her still watching the scene unfold. “Would you be my date for dinner tomorrow?”

“Lena, of course I will. I’ll always want to have dinner with you.” She smiles. “It’s a date. But um, are you sure you’re okay? Your heart is doing some crazy things right now.” The last sentence is in a higher octave than normal, concern still oozing from her voice.

“Kara, I promise I am fine. Lucy is standing here with me to make sure I get home safely. I’m fine.” She glares at the brunette again, desperately trying not to shove Lucy into the nearest trash bin. “How about meeting me on my balcony around 9 p.m. Metropolis time? That should give you plenty of time to finish work and head this way.?

Kara is quiet for a few seconds before she says, “Yeah, okay. I can’t wait to see you.” Lena can feel her heart race and she knows if she isn’t careful, the blonde will be on the sidewalk next to her in seconds. “And you’re sure you’re okay, Lena?”

She chuckles, she can’t help it. Her traitorous heart gives her way at every turn. “I promise I am fine Kara. Just tired. And probably a little buzzed.” She shakes her head, already thinking about tomorrow night, though she wonders if Kara realizes it’s a real date and not one of their ‘friend’ dates. “Alright Darling, get some rest and I’ll see you tomorrow evening.”

“You too, Lena. See you soon.” Kara says and ends the call.

Lucy smirks at her. “I’ll walk you up to the penthouse. By the time we get there, Kara will have either called or texted me to ask questions.” She nods her head as the doorman opens the lobby doors and they make their way inside. “I’m guessing she’s trying to figure out if you really asked her on a date.”

Sure enough, by the time they exit the elevator and reach Lena’s penthouse, Lucy’s phone vibrates. The brunette lets out a loud cackle and turns the screen toward Lena. Green eyes scan the screen and her mouth drops open as she giggles, her mind focuses solely on one specific part that makes her heart soar.

Displayed in front of her is a text from Kara that reads: ‘Oh Rao! I think Lena just asked me on a date. Did she?! Are you still with her? Does she like me back? Lucy. H.E.L.P. Is she asking me out?’

“I told you, Luthor. I bet you all of your other friends have been wondering when you two would get your shit together.” Lucy laughs, stuffing her phone into her pocket. She will call Kara once she leaves. “Now, don’t forget…you have to confess at dinner. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

Lena eyes the green-eyed woman, unsure what to make of this newfound camaraderie, but no less grateful for the less than subtle push to go for it with Kara. “I’m not sure why you decided to do this, Lane, but thanks. Who knows, if all goes well, maybe you’ll be in the wedding party.” She winks at Lucy and chuckles. “Now, go call Kara before she freaks out.”

They both laugh, a mutual nod of respect as their friendship is solidified in the middle of a hallway in front of Lena’s penthouse in Metropolis.

Years later at the wedding reception, during her matron of honor speech, Lucy regales the guest with what she calls, ‘The Tale of the Two Idiots in Love’. Lena and Kara just roll their eyes at the woman. The tale has gotten taller and more embellished over the years, but there’s one thing that remains true.

None of this would’ve happened if it wasn’t for that one night of drunken competition between Luthor & Lane.

@cnka i wanted to reply to ur question abt my thoughts on the tsn doc on my actual post but the tags were so insanely long i was like. i need to make an actual post

SO IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

first off, wow im just so astounded by the fervent love that went into making tsn. it was a risk and so unlike other projects fincher and anyone else there had done but w/ their commitment to it it turned out SO amazingly. the fact they sat around a table and argued for hours abt how the lines fit and everyone could make their case is just. WOW!!!! they really made sure everyone understood and loved playing their characters.

erica's and christies actresses werent very common appearances like mark but they really went all in too im in AWE!! NOT TO MENTION MARYLINS WOW!! rooney mara really just. god she went so hard into making sure all of ericas kindness and leniency and frustration were so clear, she was so focused in the behind the scenes footage and obviously having so much fun <33 i love that brenda song was able to relate to christie's jealousy and fear eduardo was cheating. the fact all the actors ARE the characters ages and are as chaotic and fierce and dedicated and ambitious makes it soooo<3333 rashida jones describing marilyn as a greek chorus just watching hit SO hard. the second hand experience of this young man going through this epic tale by just hearing it thru testimony is a crazy thing. the act of listening is so simple but becomes so emotional even as everyone wants to keep it professional

on the twins: i find it so wonderful that the actors armie and josh played both twins. it just WORKS bc twins take the 'know u better than u do' that siblings have and take it to absolutely insane levels. the fact these actors have literally got access to both the twins minds takes the performance to a whole new level like those twins know each other inside and out!!!! its a meta thing that goes truly crazy.

you have already seen me say the bts of the erica and mark breakup truly kills me bc. he is being an asshole and not listening and the fact he doesn’t mean to doesn’t change that he is. she has to leave, but it’s so sad that she does bc… fincher calling him 'damaged goods' implies a universe where whatever makes him like this isnt present. where maybe he’s fine. so. GOD :’(( (i think it’s autism + the bad life experiences that come from that & being queer + the bad life experiences that come from that, heightened by the era)

on a more positive note i love that on set picking out the accessories andrew says ‘i’ when hes speaking as eduardo. he’s really dedicated to the role its great. also that he and jesse had conversations in character like these 20 year olds r crazy truly. love them for that !!

during the whole thing, everyone is so suspicious, and condemning to mark: like, noting that he is driven by ego, jesse jokes mark is okay with the cold because he doesn’t feel anything, and also, there’s a part when sorkin, fincher, andrew, and jesse are sitting around and talking about the scene where mark & eduardo argue abt ads. essentially, they make the argument that mark always says ‘i’ when eduardo says ‘we’ because in his mind, eduardo hasn’t contributed much at all. while mark is up coding for hours straight, eduardo is at some phoenix thing so? what gives?

so i was reframing my understanding of mark (which. is very indulgent cus i love him), and trying to get as close to his brain as i could and i was coming up with him generally being pretty… hard on the outside for lack of a better word. he’s not traditionally intimidating (like the script states) but its hard to crack him and you can really see this with jesse’s physicality like he’s so stiff. that’s pretty innocuous but i think this is something he uses to put distance between him and his loved ones- very frustrating. and i think every time i realise how much mark is an asshole i remember so many reasons why they added *trying to be.

when fincher called him damaged goods it’s like. the most in the doc people give him the benefit of the doubt (also sorkin saying he wanted to balance out all of mark’s character). which is pretty good because marks good traits are supposed to be very subtle and hit you when you don’t expect it. that’s very much how i felt when i suddenly remembered ‘sorry. that was mean.’ he truly is just trying to be an asshole. he wants to be nicer than he is but he also wants more power than he does and as someone who felt pretty powerless the rest of his life, that trumps the rest. he really thinks he can have both experiences, power and love, and he just hates that every time he takes a step in one direction it cancels out the other. this actually really fits in well w/ my next point

i also want to say that the fact mark videoing everyone was explained as him wanting to force proof that everything is fine, and they’re happy is making me so :(( MARK!!!! :(( he is so. i mean its two things: its the ‘i won, but did i?’ of it all. mark won the argument but its a hollow victory, being some sillicon valley titan isn’t emotionally fulfilling, it will never be enough. especially not when its costing him a good friend. the way the end is laced throughout the entire movie is so sick to me

re marks bullshit i also love how they mentioned that marks jealousy about the final clubs is more than just wanting to be in eduardo’s position its like - i thought we had some loser solidarity and now its like you’re a whole different person. its less of a horrible feeling when ur at the bottom with someone and mark feels betrayed. ofc mark doesn’t feel safe to express this emotion (bc bullied nerd boy whos probs bi in the 2000s), or doesn’t know that’s what he’s feeling, and decides it’s eduardo’s fault and freezes him out for it.

this is just off the top of my head i certainly have more and will probably talk more abt this lovely doc again :^))

what are.... your headcannons for Epsilon and his people?? Ad Francis too??

oooooh! OOOOOOH! FINALLY!!! MY THEORIES!!! IVE BEEN DYING TO SHARE MY THEORIES!!!

loooooooooong post lmao. Heads up-

Okay okay okay, so I had a few questions about these people when I first started watching the show a gazillion years ago; like how many more of The People are there? How do their numbers work? Are they all clones, or just the Epsilons? How do they do what they do in their universe? Who the fuck do they work for? And why are things the way they are?

I have more questions than answers, but I will say that brainstorming about it has been so much fun~ So lemme just break this down as best as I can-

I personally headcannon that only the Epsilons are cloned from each other, every other agent is someone they either recruited through traditional means, taken from childhood or from birth, or cajoled into service as a form of punishment. We all know how easy it would be to pluck a few promising young birds from some orphanage somewhere; unnoticeable, unwanted, and untraceable to the masses, an organization like The People would jump on the opportunity, I think.

Okay, now for my individual agents, I have only a few things I've actually put to pen about them. Don't you just love having blank slate character to project all of your bullshit onto? I do!

Firstly, I have Irene which i'll be real, she's my fave Green Man to draw. She's.... so pretty... To me....

Her stoicism is linked directly to her environment. When she's on the clock, she one of the most precise, cunning, cutthroat agents around. But the split second she has the okay to relax, she's relaxed.

Her detail is a saboteur, so she is the one disarming traps, disabling security systems and breaking shit up so she and her People can get their jobs done. That being said, she likes to tinker, and can make even the nastiest, most beaten up and abandoned forest can come back to life-

She is insightful, observant and sometimes even playful. She just hides it under a perpetual frown. I was also thinking she would have some affectionate feelings toward Francis, as she's known him all his life , and adored Simone. I imagine Irene and Francis are kind of like siblings with a huge age gap.

Next up, my man Io, a former Hunter who since kicks it with The People after an incident in the 90's. He, along with Epsilon and Simone worked with the Secret Scientists to create a vaccine against lycanthropy. He's been an invaluable asset to The People ever since.

Io has special knowledge on medicine and even alchemy, occasionally making passing remarks about an old colleague that could turn wood chips to gold shavings. He also has a vast knowledge in matters of supernatural sicknesses and possessions. He has a bit of a morbid fascination with it, even going as far as to try and give himself pestilences only for the sake of further research.

I think he'd be pretty neutral about Francis, seeing as how it's not ease accepting some kid to be your new boss. At the same time, he knows where he is, so Io does what he can to keep their relationship strictly professional. However, in light of... recent events, he may be spending more one on one time with his fellow agents; more so than he's used to. We might learn more about him later...

And now WOOOOOOO, GRANDPAAA!!! LETS GOOOOOO!!!!! No, but for real, Agent Rohan is the oldest agent here, pushing 65, and he's still out here taking orders from Epsilon and making moves with The People, all the while fighting vampires, befriending warewolves, tricking the fae and dealing with alien incursions of every sort. He's up there in "Spooky Levels of Competence" with Simone and Grandpa Max, like, this man has seen some shit.

Rohan likes hunting, fishing, shooting, and camping out in the middle or asscrack nowhere. You know, old man stuff. He's the good kind of Boomer, ya know?

And he's still just a chill Old Man who just wants to retire to a secluded cabin in the woods with his Dog (not a dog, not a dog-) and live out his sunset years like a regular American man.

Fuck you, I know Agent Mccabe divorced his ass (they were never married lmao) but sometimes when they're together it feels like nothing's changed. Then they look into each other's eyes and remember how they've hurt each other oh fuck-

Epsilon is an extremely reserved and extremely stifled man, so much so that he stifles everyone around him. He believes that order and routine are the ways to maintain a safe and normal lifestyle, and so many times he is proven right. So much so he allowed himself to be tricked into letting his dearest friend leave for outer space.

He is a, "By any means necessary," type of man to a fault. Ruthless, calculating, and by any sense of the word, the Perfect Agent. Nothing phases him, it seems. However, there is something there, a reason he instills instant obedience and zero hesitation, and I think we can all find that out... together....

Here cooooomes the boyyy~ 💖✨✨ my boy, my baby; Francis.

Hahahaaaa, this one thing soooo highly of himself, hahahahaa~~ Ohhh, thats so cute. I love him for that. I will break him. He will know humility.

You know what happens when someone with no moral compass is thrown into the most fucked up situation? They find that compass, and they fucking use it. The boy must learn, and there wasn't enough time in the show to teach him. Now's my chance-

Speaking of, his Foolhardy Father taught him that thinking for himself was the wrong thing to do, and after Morrigan, he has to start thinking out of the box because there was never a protocol for this...

Also..... I know the fact he's a clone hurts him, like, we saw that shit in The Unblinking Eye, fuckin he hates following Epsilon's orders but what the fuck else is he gonna do? What else is there, this is what he was made for, right? He seems like the perfect guy for a character arc, and it kills me that he didn't get one.

I want him to learn to be his own person. Kinda want em all to figure out what their lives are, since they could all be butchered at any moment and only their killers would mourn them.

Speaking of Killers....

Miss Morrigan Monroe

"Whaaaaat?!?!" I heard you gawking, "Your Evil Bitch™ is with The People?!?! How???" And I'll give you the diss-

next post, this bitch is already so long. But just know, she knew the OG Epsilon and they fucking DO NOT VIBE.

She is hundreds of years old, has profound beef, and the shits on site, so sorry Epsilon. That's what you get for the sins of your father, Get fucked, I guess.

I know she's bad, but she's meant to be vapid, petty, recalcitrant, repugnant and deranged, mean and clever and scary beyond all reason- You know, the perfect woman, lmao. (I dont AT ALL condone the shit shes done or is gonna do but like, its gonna be nasty 😈😈😈😈)

#Oh my goodness this post is so long aaaaaaaaaaaa #please dont kill me but Imma make yall read #get fucked #ugh #okay im sleepy #the secret saturdays #the secret saturdays francis #the secret saturdays ocs #TSS The People #the secret saturdays Epsilon #Agent Epslion #TSS Agent Irene #TSS Agent Io #TSS Agent Rohan #TSS Morrigan

💜 Get to know me 💜

I figured this is a little overdue. I just wanted to introduce myself a little:

The personal real life things:

My name is Elizabeth, and I'm 27. (Old for the fanfiction writing world to some, the perfect age to others.) My friends call me Liz. I've been reading fanfiction since the dark day of Quizilla, and I've been writing it since high school, so over 10 years.

It started with me writing it for my friends and adding them into stories to allow them to live out their fantasies with characters they loved and adored. After a pretty serious car accident that left me bedridden for over a month last year, I started writing it for me for escapism. The number of stories hidden in my Google Drive is insane, lovelies.

I recently started posting due to my pregnancy, which, according to my partner, only happened because I wouldn't stop reading fairyporn, on here and in books. Fairyporn he now also reads (blows on nails before cleaning them on my shirt.) Due to pregnancy, I've been home more after making the choice to switch my hours at work to allow us to adapt and prep for the arrival of our little.

The stories and writing

I consider myself part of several Fandoms and would take requests for any of the following:

✨️ Lord of the Rings / The Tolkien Universe

✨️ACOTAR and the SJM Universe

✨️Harry Potter

✨️The Bargainer Series

✨️Game of Thrones / House of Dragons

✨️ The Witcher Series

✨️ Percy Jackson

✨️ The MCU

Please just keep in mind, we may not like the same characters, so I cannot promise a mind blowing adventure for every sutuation. I will post a characters I love writing for breakdown in each Fandom if asked for enough.

I will write the following

🥵 smut (please see rules)

❤️ Fluff

🥺 Angst

🥰 platonic relationships

Tropes I ADORE

🥰 Fated Mates

🥰 Grumpy Sunshine

🥰 Mutual Pinning

🥰 Enemies to Lovers

🥰 Friends to Lovers

🥰 Slow. Mother fing. Burn

🥰 Second Chance Romance

🥰 Revenge F

Tropes I dislike (but am open to writing)

😑 forced proximity or marriage

😑 one bed (seriously. Imagine. You've been traveling for hours. No food. No rest. No shower. You're fucking exhausted. You aren't banging the person laying with you. I'm sorry but you're not.)

😑 damsel/daddy in distress

😑 pregnancy

Tropes I absolutely will NOT write:

😞 bully turned lover

😞 step siblings/parent trope

😞 minors in grooming situations

😞 changing sexual preferences due to a bad experience

😞 Tropes relating to me making a known character cheat with my OC/Reader characters - I will write my fake character being cheated on, though

😞 Too dumb to live (I do not like using females as plot points for male characters)

Rules regarding smut

✔️ I will not write smut for characters who are underage in the universe they reside in. Meaning, I won't be feeding the Percy Jackson lovers, Harry Potter Lovers, or some cannon GOT/HOTD lovers smut. I am personally uncomfortable aging up characters for the sole purpose of making a smut scene for them. I do not care if the actor playing them was 18+. Daniel Radcliffe may have been 22 in the last Harry Potter film, but Harry was 17 at the beginning. I am more than happy to do romance with underage characters, though.

✔️ I do not have many kinks I consider hard boundaries, but I will not write water sports, scat play, or anything of that nature. Most other things are fair game. I am active in the kink scene, lovelies. If I haven't played with a kink you'd like written, I have a friend who probably has and will help me. Send me those anonymous messages, and let's bring your fantasy to writing.

✔️ I will write monster fics

✔️ I will write orgies, 3somes, 4somes, all the somes, swapsomes

✔️ I will write ff/mf/ffm/mmf, I will not write mm, simply because I am a female and have not watched two males doing the deed just the two of them. I'd want to do the piece justice and I have no rights to write an emotion/feeling/stimulation I wouldn't understand or have experience with

✔️ I will write dub/con and dark sexual fantasy

Am I open to taking requests?

Do you have a specific question?

Ask me 💜

Literally all the critics are so up in their egos

Also Spoiler warnings for the Mario movie because I'm crying and yk it's opening day I'm not that kind of bitch

I don't think many of them understand that they've got it made rn, and they've never experienced the world some of us are living in

And I don't mean it in a mental health sense or anything, I mean in an actual survival as an adult sense

I was literally surprised by how much I related to Mario specifically. He's the oldest. I'm the oldest of six (under a technicality, two of them are my dad's girlfriend's kids but yk). I'm sure his parents have preached that he needs to take care of and watch out for his younger brother (I'm assuming they're still twins in this universe, Mario was always the older twin in the games and other lore), and I've been preached that too. I'm the same way with my siblings as Mario is with Luigi. Throw trash at my sister, see that happens. "The more you fuck around, the more you're gonna find out." And at the end of the day, my parents will be only in my memories at some point, and all I'll have left is my siblings, granted if I never get married, have kids, etc (God willing I hope, not the point though) It seems to me that Mario is incredibly aware of that too, that one day they'll both be at an age where it's literally only him and Luigi and that they may literally be the only one the other has.

What also struck me was the set-up they showed with the boys. They still live with Mom and Dad, still in their childhood bedroom(s?), just trying to find their footing, I assume they want to be independent of their parents. They put their life savings into a commercial to get their company off the ground. I'm assuming they didn't have very much in the first place, especially from the speech their father gave about how "you can't just give up a steady job for a dream," and how Mario (at least specifically I'm assuming) can't hold down a job in the first place. How he's the one that's bringing Luigi down, as if Luigi can't make a decision for himself, and Mario's like his legal guardian or something. It very much seems to me that they've literally leaned on each other for almost everything more than their own parents, and that's screaming volumes for me.

I still live with my parents, and I get the same grief as well over how I haven't gotten it all figured out still. C*vid was zero help, I wasn't even a year out of high school when it hit, I was just starting college and things were not going very well. I'm just now figuring out my degree program, what I want, trying to get my career off the ground, and getting money back in the bank. I can't afford rent, God no, and I'm blessed to have a job that covers tuition now.

But it seems to me that critics don't understand that. For some reason they want this incredible fleshed-out character arc, plot and overreaching plot, Oscar and Emmy winning from day one piece, and besides the fact that this is technically intended for children, some of the ones I've read are literally making just under upper-to-upper class pay and lifestyles by being that judgemental. They don't have to worry about gas (or the electric bills if they have an electric car) in the tank or food on the table or making rent. One said that they "failed to give Mario a personality" (paraphrasing), when literally I'm seeing myself and my survival struggles in this short moustachioed plumber with older sibling anxiety.

Which, I'm pretty sure he's got a mild touch of GAD, or maybe that's me projecting. I'm not a licensed anything. Also added bonus points because I'm shorter than all of the siblings that are at an age to have actual height. One of my siblings is in high school rn and she's taller than me by a good eight inches. I'm six years older than her.

I'm literally out here doing the best I can with a $200 Insurance payment coming and $80 in the bank.

So yeah. Mario is a really good character.

So thankful for him.

#mario movie #and dont get me started on the forehead touch #i wept #so much #mario movie spoilers #can the critics just let me enjoy something for once?#super mario #like jfc

Yo if you have the energy for stranger things, full on Nancy wheeler character analysis please?

uhh lol wasnt expecting this tbh but uhh sure !

so i think the main thing about nancy is that shes just idk sort of selfish in a way even if she doesn’t like mean to be, she just is (and thats fine! character flaws are cool.)

like i can’t remember what episode but i know it was before barbs death she was complaining about how inconvenient will going missing is or some shit. which yknow not the best way to react to your brother’s friend going missing (yikes)

i think like barbs death is an obvious example of her being kind of selfish, but when she realizes oh shit barbs gone shes literally does everything she can to save her (also note thats when she got involved in wills whole situation)

she gets to kill the demogorgan and it feels good getting revenge for barb

but its still not enough her best friends gone but will isnt will got saved.

and idk i think thats sort of the reason why shes very distant towards mike (why do you get to keep yours and i have to lose mine?) obviously she cant be mad at will so she has to be mad at mike.

in season 2 she like very obviously does wanna be with steve because barb’s basically haunting that relationship. she cant look at steve without feeling bad about barb (not to mention she literally has meals with barb’s parents with him)

and the her and jonathan find some sketchy shit the governments doing and so nance is like maybe if i like expose this i can avenge her again and i can stop feeling guilty all the time so she does that and she feels good for awhile but its not permanent and before she knows it she feels shitty again

in season 3 she’s dealing with alot not only is she dealing with the guilt of barbs death now she’s dealing with the patriarchy (cant she catch a break)

another thing to add is how she selfishly plans to investigate the rat thing (i forgor what exactly it was) and gets herself and jonathan fired. and her whole argument with him which was genuinely so awful of her.

she has a cute little girl power moment with her mom (its weird tbh because on one hand slay feminism on the other its like girl 🤨)

and she starts investigating again then the mind flayers back and i genuinely think a part of her was like maybe if i kill it i can actually avenge barb this time.

then her and jonathan reconcile which btw she doesn’t apologize about her oliver twist comment (idk who to blame her or the writers)

but along the way mike argues with max and yknow instead of defending your brother like a normal sister, shes on maxs side. and its just heartbreaking to see honestly.

they’re literally siblings but they act like they only know each other through a mutual friend (if that makes sense) and i just know in some universe her and mike stop talking. she has a positive relationship with literally everyone in the party except her brother :(

oh and in season 4 her whole plan to kill vecna she was like hey this is the real bitch who killed her let me avenge her again so she makes a plan where she can be the one to kill him so she can be the hero it doesn’t work

(also note the fact that she doesn’t hug mike when they reunite)

idk if i did her justice with this ‘analysis’. idk my thoughts are really scattered when it comes to her also i haven’t rewatched this show in so long so

also wanted to say this i feel like the fandom has a really black and white sense of morality when it comes to the characters which is weird because whats the fun that like flaws make character’s really good also theres this added element of her being a girl and how girls are literally not allowed to be given flaws or else they’re immediately categorized as a bitch by people

#also this is a head cannon i have so ignore if you dont care but also i feel like theres also the added layer of #you got your friend back so why are you still miserable but thats purely based on vibes i got so #idk im running on 1h of sleep rn #nancy wheeler #wheeler siblings #buggss talks #byler #nancy wheeler analysis #stranger things analysis #🕰️

For the September prompts, could I request Lemon Tree and Kayo please? Somehow the idea of these two together is singing to me...🍋🖤

Hiiiii. I really wanted to be able to do this for you; please forgive me for this not being my strongest of pieces. I did have to add Gordon to get Kayo to speak to me, and the lemons are there even if the tree is not. <3. They are siblings, and peers, and they respect each other. Hopefully it shows. Thanks so much for the ask and the support.

I like the headcanon of Gordon calling Kayo "Tin" so I borrowed that from Nutty with her permission. :D

Characters: Kayo, Gordon

Words: 870

Genre: General

Universe Notes - Military!Gordon, TAG.

Warnings: Mentions of Alcohol Consumption (responsible)

***

“Hey, Tin?” Gordon quickly plopped into his mouth a sardine from the charcuterie display he’d ordered as his antipasto and, as Kayo grimaced at his manners, he at least had the good graces to swallow before he continued. “I’m going to need you to relax.”

“I really don’t understand how you can eat that.”

“They are a bit salty,” he mused, swirling on the flavor still in his mouth. “But I can’t just leave the little fishies there uneaten. It’s inhumane.”

“Yeah, ok.” She turned back away from his feast of fish, gazing out to the expanse of ultramarine beside them.

It was to be his home the next few days – the Gulf of Naples that is, beautiful waters in Mediterranean blue, watched over by what was left of the towering Mt. Vesuvio visible in the distance. For Gordon’s experience in the depths of the sea, the bay was a relatively shallow estuary. But it wasn’t about how deep the body of water went. He was more concerned with what creatures called the place home, in this instance which fin whales – and one razorback in particular he’d been tracking as part of his research dissertation. (D.Sc. meet Gordon Tracy!)

Gordon called it a “surface trip” which didn’t mean surface at all really, just that he’d be arriving by boat instead of submarine and diving within the capabilities of standard research tech instead of the Brains’ tested and certified deep-sea gadgets of International Rescue. It would be enough for him to listen to the whale song, and if he was lucky, maybe he’d get to see his boyo.

Since the excursion was to depart tomorrow out of a little town in the outskirts of Sorrento, arriving a day early gave Gordon the time to reorient himself to the normal sleep schedule of the time-zone and decompress from being constantly on call as they were. He’d been in Italy for only a few hours, but the warm wind and the friendly lapping of blue on the shore calmed him, so his spirits were high despite the nerves around the importance of this trip.

His companion was less thrilled by the break. Virgil had been unavailable, Scott was busy with Tracy Industries reports, and Alan could hardly fly him over in a space rocket, so Kayo had offered to drop him off. It had taken some heavy pleading, a bit of chore reallocation, and eventually Kayo agreed to stay and leave the next morning.

A worthy exchange. His siblings deserved a holiday. And once he saw an opportunity unfolding to spend some time with his sister, he couldn’t let go of the idea. They didn’t call him a master of pranks for nothing – though this was less of a prank and more of a gentle coercion.

Their first of their entrées arrived, for the traditional trattoria included two within the standard four-course meal, and Kayo nodded kindly in thanks. Gordon beamed, a “Grazie!” while he moved his plate of fish to the side to make room for his pasta.

“I’m relaxed,” she told him after a while only once they’d dug into their meals. “Really.”

Gordon eyed her deliberately, mindlessly twirling his pasta with his fork and watching peridot scanning the room even as she said it. “I think you think that. I can tell you are still on look out.” He saw her start to panic and added, “I can only tell because I know you.”

She frowned, shrugging. “Maybe I am. Someone has to do it.”

“It doesn’t have to be you all the time. We are safe; promise.”

“Yeah?”

The skepticism was evident. He was almost offended. Almost. “Yeah.” It had been a long time since his brief service in WASP, but the training gave him lessons for a lifetime. “Closest exit is that one” – he gestured his fork towards the wall to their left – “there’s a gentleman behind me that obviously knows who we are but won’t dare approach because you keep giving him the stink eye, our server is oblivious which is kinda’ nice actually, and the owner has come by twice. Dice is out on that one, but he’s harmless. Now, agree to get some limoncello with me.”

“Gordon- “

“We’re in Italy; it’s required.”

“It’s a digestivo. That means after the meal.”

“It’s alcohol,” he challenged, grinning. “That means when the mood strikes. I won’t push if you don’t want any, but lemons, Kayo. Lemons.”

“Yeah, yeah. You make lemonade.”

“Nuh-uh. You make limoncello!” He was pleased to see her laughing, even if it was at his expense. Kayo was good at her job, too good, and she took after workaholic Scott in ways Gordon didn’t necessarily believe were the healthiest of habits. He knew what it was like to be “on” all the time. It would cause burn out. Always did.

They placed their additional drink order and the bottle was brought out with the timing of their second entrée as they requested, with minimal questioning. The locals were kind about the whims of their tourists.

“So where did you stash Shadow again?”

Kayo swirled the narrow glass to twirl the liquid neon, and she narrowed her eyes at him with a gleam. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”

Question 30

I was meaning to ask that after you'll finish found, can you make an one shot of iris as a 15 to 17 year old girl with moments with both harry and teddy

I mean in this story unlike iris, we've mostly seen the relationship between both of them as a teacher student even though harry would like to scream in joy when iris performs well or iris would often wonder what it would be if he had known from the start

Maybe in this one shot, we can see their relationship as father daughter and with teddy, you said that it would be like having sibling so them bickering but also being protective of each other, you had already developed victoire and Teddy's relationship with each other and harry so well , it will be an icing on cake to see it

Because with only 10 chapters left, I think it will only cover the reunion between three of them and we haven't even reached to Halloween in the story or an end to her first year so we won't be able to see her quidditch tryouts, owls and newts preparation because as much as we love a 4 year old iris and dad harry, I would also like to see harry and a rebel iris or just a teen iris with harry getting taste of his own medicine and her getting a crush with harry and teddy being protective and all that fluff

I know, I'm asking a lot but your writing and story is so good, I would love to see those moments of that family together

Hope you have a nice trip ❤❤

I'm really glad you enjoy the story! Not sure if I'll end up writing a one shot...but never say never. I am likely adding at least another chapter or two to Found, since some of the other plot stuff got away from me. So while it's a slow burn in many ways with the reveals etc. There will be several chapters of them as a family of 3. Also we will see more of the dynamic between her and Teddy. Plus Teddy meeting Hermione etc. My hope is to one day have all three stories in this universe complete...even if it takes me a few years 😅

I searched through my draft for anything that didn't have too many spoilers. So here's a snippet from later in Found if that helps showing the three of them together! (Haven't written the Teddy scenes yet!)

===

Soon enough they were at the same oak door from yesterday. Harry paused, a hand raking through his hair. She tilted her head towards him, it was still surreal to be able to look directly at him like this. Emerald eyes held hers and Hermione couldn’t move, mesmerised at the sight.

“What are you doing?”

The new, but familiar voice made her jump, knocking into Harry who grabbed hold of her arms. She spun to her right to see Iris emerge from under the invisibility cloak, half her body still hidden.

“What’s the matter?” Iris asked this time, brow furrowed as she looked between them.

“Nothing,” she managed to reply, suddenly out of breath, Iris’s frown deepened.

“You just scared us,” Harry added, releasing her arms.

“Sorry,” Iris mumbled sheepishly, eyes moving to her trainers. She rubbed the cloak between her fingers, falling silent.

Now it was her turn to frown, sensing the tension in her daughter. “What is it sweetheart?”

Iris chewed on her lips “Everyone is staring,” she replied quietly, eyes flicking up to them. “More than with the vomit.”

Guilt flashed across Harry’s face. “Come on,” he said finally. “Let’s have a butterbeer.”

Iris brightened at this offer. Hermione followed her daughter and Harry into his quarters. Iris draped the invisibility cloak over the armrest of the sofa before flinging herself onto its cushy surface.

“What do I say? When people ask me things?” she asked.

Hermione glanced over at Harry who nodded thoughtfully as he fetched three butterbeers from a cabinet under his desk.

“Tell them you can’t talk about it. Auror orders,” he replied as he handed Iris her drink.

Hermione took the one offered to her, his fingers brushing against hers, making her heart jump. She ignored this and sat next to Iris who continued to watch them with her carefully held expression.

“We do need to talk,” Hermione said, placing her hand on Iris’s leg. “There’s a good chance this will end up in the paper.”

Her eyes widened, head whipping towards her father. Harry took a long sip of his butterbeer.

“There’s been rumours of a leak. About your mum. That she’s alive.”

“How did they find out?” Iris asked.

“The less you know the better,” Harry replied.

Iris crossed her arms. “I’m almost twelve!”

Harry stood, crouching in front of Iris, a hand on her shoulder. “Some things are too heavy for twelve year olds.” His eyes moved to Hermione and back to Iris. “I wish we hadn’t had to take on half the things we did by the time we were your age.”

Iris sunk further into the cushion. “You know I’ll just find out anyway.”

His lip twitched upwards. “Of course you will. Still, can you trust us that we’ll tell you what you need to know as it comes up?”

Her face twisted into a sceptical frown, gaze piercing. Hermione sighed, reading the expression all too well. “I know. My track record isn’t…great.”

Harry raised his eyebrows. She shook her head, pleading silently with him to speak about it later. He nodded and she released a relieved breath.

“Stop talking with your eyes!” Iris said, voice rising. Both of them stared shocked at her outburst.

Harry’s expression was just as incredulous as hers likely was. Suddenly she was laughing, unable to stop as she covered her mouth. Harry’s joining hers instantaneously. Iris glared at both of them.

“It’s not funny,” she muttered.

That only made them laugh harder and eventually her frown cracked, revealing a partial smile.

Harry stood from where he’d been laughing on the rug, wiping his face with his sleeve and offering Iris his hand.

“How about we get some fresh air?”

Just indulge me for sec, but . . . Ben & Rylee headcanons??

1/15/2023: BRO I FREAKING THOUGHT I POSTED THIS BUT IT WAS JUST SITTING AT THE BOTTOM OF MY DRAFTS 😭😭😭But I had this finished since you asked me😅 I just of course added some more stuff after reading some more chapters of After Dark😂

👀 Um of freaking course I will!

So, right off the bat I’m gonna say that in their crossover universe that Steve Harrington is Ben’s boyfriend.

Because for one, before Eddie was introduced, I was thinking about Steve being Ben's new boyfriend.

For two this could also mean that Ben and Rylee can go on very amusing, chaotic double dates together! LOL!

Then for reason three...I need Rylee x Eddie in my life, cannot break them apart.

With Ben and Rylee, their friends and boyfriends are forced to watch and listen to Footloose ALL the time. Sorry, it's a given! 😂

I think they would know each other because after Wesley went missing he would try to check in if she was doing okay while also not treating her differently during that time.

They have to obviously have so many rewatch/dance parties of Footloose. I mean to be friends with Ben it’s a given.

You are forced to watched that film and listen to its soundtrack so many times.

But I think they would get really close right around season 4 because of all the times Ben puts himself at risk for Eddie and her by working at Hawkins Police station and hiding/gathering evidence to clear Eddie's name.

With the bullet point above they would get closer before that with Eddie hanging out with Ben because they got close around season 2 after he helped beat up by Billy/drunk Ben get away from the cops at a party. And with his dad dying and sister leaving at the end of season 3 Eddie noticed how sad and even a little lonely Ben was so he brings him around the others in Hellfire Club to just get him out more and he and Rylee end up hanging out more in the process.

I think they would 'get' each other in a way because both of them have lost their siblings in obviously different ways and ages. If one of them gets overwhelmed/ sad I can see them just being comfortable going to either one of their houses(depending on who's going through it) and just lying in bed and vibing with music or just talking about anything.

I feel like Rylee would be Ben's cheerleader while he's trying to work out and strengthen the injured leg he got from season 2. He doesn't want to be held back by it forever and with wanting to be a sheriff he wants to make it stronger so Rylee is there to help motivate him but also stop him from pushing himself over the limit.

Backstory/Background:

Kaison’s birth had been a difficult one. His mother had to give birth to him early due to his having the cord wrapped around his neck. This had left him to be kept in the hospital longer than most other infants normally would be, to keep an eye on him and any other health scares. Whatever the case seemed to be, he was born blind. This didn’t seem to bother his parents, who were indifferent on the issue. Kaison would be born into a middle class family, which would struggle, as more children came into it. His parents were often neglective, adding to more problems that would develop as years would go by. As the second oldest child Kaison, as well as having the disadvantage of being blind, Kaison did receive more attention than most of his other siblings would.

Some time after his youngest sibling is born the family suffers a tragedy, which resulted in the deaths of not one, but both parents. The children would later be adopted out after being wards of the state for a time. Each child would end up being split and raised away from one another. Kaison would be adopted by a middle class couple, who were perhaps even more abusive than his own parents had been. As well as much more indifferent to his condition. Kaison manages to deal with this however, trying to just get through it and graduate from school. As he wanted to study science, an interest he had grown up being skilled in. Though blind, he had not been able to hone the skills he needed, as it was hard to study, you can imagine, and learn, this way. However, while he is in between, he does get a job as a model.

Finding success in modeling Kaison soon moves from his adoptive parents home. While he is doing his modeling career, however, he does also continue his studies in University, prioritizing science above all. Though, when he is 23, while walking home, a group of mysterious people attack and abduct him. Later, coming to, he finds he has been injected with something by a mad scientist that had been living in his town for the majority of the time Kaison had been around. Often he had heard rumors about the other, or his victims who were spreading some ‘infection’ of some sort. Now he was subject to it himself. The condition? Vampirism. With this change in his body, his blindness becomes much less of an obstacle to him. With his new state of existence Kaison is able to become a scientist.

After graduating he goes on to join a facility, experimenting on others himself. This often includes the changing of species into other creatures, or combining of DNA. Even the creation of Mutants. After starting his career in the facility, he is forced to live there. So, he does not accomplish much of a social life outside the laboratory, and only speaks with his fellow scientists and others working at the facility. As well as the patients they are made to test. The pressures and isolation from this seems to have an adverse effect on Kaison, as one day he becomes, what others might say, completely neurotic. Which leads to the higher ups sending him off to a psychiatric hospital. There Kaison is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Then, he is locked away. Though, Kaison believes that the reason for this, is because of something else that those who own both the facility, and the psychiatric hospital found out about him.

As a prisoner of the hospital, Kaison is kept locked away in his room the majority of the time, and kept extremely sedated to keep him from forming an escape plan, ultimately. Once he had become barely any kind of threat at all life becomes, again, stable, and repetitive. The days seem to mix together over and over for Kaison, who cannot concentrate on any of them in particular long enough to recognize their differences. By the year 2382 Kaison had become a permanent mystery of the hospital. There he has seen and been seen by many other patients coming and going. Life never changes for him outside of that. Though, this year, this year will be different. As there is an expected meteor shower that is supposed to happen, he will be able to see it from his window. Says one of the nurses taking care of him, one day. Then it happens, and unexpectedly, one of the meteors manages to land near the hospital.

Soon, he watches in the days that follow, scientists coming to study the rock. Some of them he recognizes from the facility he once had worked at. The rock seems to be of some significant importance to them, as he watches them conduct experiments from his window. First on Animals. But he notices that something is also changing within the humanoid species as well. With his own ability to see energies, he can tell that some of the scientists’ own DNA had begun to change. The company that both owns the hospital and the facility seems to have an interest in this however, wanting, he imagines, to obtain ultimate power. To do this they start to also use the patience in the psychiatric hospital. This goes on for some time, before Kaison is also consigned to being experimented on. From testing on him the company is able to produce a serum, combining his immortality and a drug to force humans (And others) to evolve or mutate more stably.

After this is revealed to the public through the media and spying, groups start to form, those that wish to hunt down the people taking the serum, and those that wish to protect them. This leads to attacks happening, the groups often warring with each other on their different perspectives on the serum, and those experimented on in general. All the while vampires are growing in number. Soon, several cities fall because of the constant fighting. This leads to vampires starting to take over and rebuild onto the fallen human cities. This also leads to the creation of more hostile groups, now against vampires.

With all the warring groups and infighting breaking out Kaison is given a perfect chance to break free. It comes in one of the winter seasons. When an attack half destroys the hospital, it unlocks him from his room, freeing him from the years of imprisonment he’s been through. With those freedom he finally has, he sets out to try and right some of the wrongs he has been a part of. Especially in experimenting on others.
