As was necessary for my brain: The octopath modern AU with no changes to the story, Olberic’s version cus i have been dying to do this (AKA Octopath traveler but it is just a wacky roadtrip through europe and everyone has some sort of criminal history)

- Olberic here is a bodyguard to the king of... lets just say England. With his bff Erhardt

-The two get along rather well, they have the same interests, same skills, and the same urge to�� duel grandmas protect people’

-They dated for a lil bit

-Well, that was until the sudden day Erhardt decided to get the glock and just put a bullet through the king’s head while Olberic was getting a snack.

-It was sad

-It was also gay

-Mainly sad do

-The death of the king just wiped England of the entire world like any other sort of government doesn’t exist.

-Our man Olberic here decides that now is the perfect time (at the ripe old age of 27 mind you) TO NOT CALL THE COPS but to have a midlife crisis

-The crisis being 1. moving to some random town in scotland 2. deciding that Berg was a much better name than Olberic and 3. he was so going to unofficialy adopt that child even if it would kill him

-Well all that was quite fine, untill some hoe came along and messed with his unofficially adopted child

-Of course, our man Olberic got the glock because he was going to get that child back even if it would kill him AND NOT CALL THE COPS.

-Well, it almost killed him, but that shit didnt matter cus he had the child and figured out mister kidnapper had been using one very special glock

-Erhardt’s glock

-Cue some sad/sentimental music

-Cue also another midlife crisis

-Cus now we have a mission to go and kill that man

-and also he found some confused german history professor in that cave as if that day could not get weird enough

-The man was named Cyrus and there were two distinct traits about him 1. he was freaking cute 2. he was currently fleeing charges of pedophilia

-Which Cyrus, dumb as he is, told, just before telling all about a library book he had set out to find.

-(Luckily for him, false charges, Olberic had a glock in hand as soon as that fact came out)

-So, as Olberic now has to go to france to beat a few people up now, they decide to travel together.

-The boat was definetly almost set on fire, but they survived.

-On the way there they meet some Dutch girl with an emotional attachment to working at a supermarket, and some Belgian dude who likes free healthcare (and definetly does not have the papers to be a practising doctor).

-They are both adopted into this weird party because that is what happens

-Cue arriving in victors hollow

-Tournament takes place, something is set on fire again, and Olberic gets to meet our buddy Gustav

-Erhardt had apparently gone to spain to escape them charges of murder and several warcrimes.

-Welp, they went to Spain

-In the meantime they found yet another addition to the family, a woman and her snowleopard on the run from charges of assault on grandmas

-Problem: she only spoke French so everyone is kind of unsure if they are kidnapping her or that she is here voluntarily

-Well, everyone here already belonged in jail so what is another charge to the list?

-Cue Spanish things Idk

-They find Erhardt in some small village basically doing the same job Olberic had been doing for the past years.

- Olberic, being the impulsive idiot he is, goes to Erhardt and shoots him in the shoulder

-But alas, murdering your ex was apparently a bit too hard on the guy

-Especially if it was in front of your adopted children and the guy you are now crushing on.

-And a police officer

-And the corpse of some random animal you shot

-Cue that part of It’s quite uptown which goes forgiveness can you imagineeeee

-So, Erhardt spills the TRAGIC BACKSTORY TM

-That is how mister Werner here got on the list of ‘People that need murdering’

-So, they head to Belgium with yet another adition to the list of people who should be in jail but are not, a dancer who is now escaping murder charges in Norway.

-How she got them do, nobody has any clue.

-But she and H’aanit get along quite nicely, due to the shared murder charges (and Linde not wanting to eat someone for one single moment)

-Cue Belgium

-Werner, now the illigitemate lord of some rando city, is just vibin

-Well, not for long

-After question for 5 minutes why no one has called the cops of this guy yet, it was murdering time

-Well, it was supposed to be, but H’aanit got upset that the man had a horse and if they killed him the horse would be sad.

-All said in the great language of French that no one understood

-So Olberic shot the guy anyway

-Cue victory music!

-...And subsequently getting arrested by the police

-What? You think you can just go run around killing people? Absurd

-Luckily, there was one man among them who had in fact a law degree which he just was too dumb to put to use on his own charges

-Cyrus motherfucking Albright

-...Which was a bit of a problem considering he definetly was not an attorney in Belgium

-Cue trying to find money for a fucking attorney

-They do, and Olberic gets of with a fine for property destruction

-(A fine they never payed)

-Cyrus and Olberic get together, Tressa gets 50 bucks from bets and everyone lives happily ever after evading the criminal justice system

So, is it 3am where I am at? Yes

Have I just eaten 4 rolls of smarties? Yes

Should I have reconsidered the idea of writing this? Yes

For everyone wondering, the idea was from a dream I had were Cyrus had a german accent anyways goodbye

Crazy long text ahead i warn you, just explaining some process I went through while drawing this Frank and Julie low light dying thingie, probably gonna drop some wips along the way, you may want to see… idk, dealer’s choice

!TRIGGER WARNING! Violence, death, suicide. Proceed with caution.

Well where do we begin? The inspiration maybe?

Exploring the magical world of Spotify when a band came in, one of the first songs (if not the first one) of theirs I heard was Partners in Crime by Set It Off, you know, love at first sight, love for their voices, their music style, aaand the lyrics, OH BOI the lyrics, check it out:

“You’ll never takes us alive We swore that death will do us part They’ll call our crimes a work of art You’ll never takes us alive We’ll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners”

Dunno, for two passionate juvenil delinquents that just wants trouble this line really fits to me, the dreamy couple feels invencible.

“Everybody freeze Nobody move Put the money in the bag Or we will shoot Empty out the vault And me and my doll will be on our way”

It’s actually interesting to think of the Legion robbing a bank, it’s not like troublesome teens didn’t do that in movies c’mon, it’s a small city, they wear masks, ez!

“Our paper faces flood the streets And if the heat comes close enough to burn Then we’ll play with fire ‘cause

You’ll never takes us alive”

THIS. This is so a Legion thing to say. Can you imagine their masks all around the streets as a warning like “HEY, WE ARE HERE, FEAR US” I love this

“Here we find our omnipotent outlaws Fall behind the grind tonight Left unaware that the lone store owner Won’t go down without a fight Where we gonna go He’s got us pinned Baby I’m a little scared Now, don’t you quit He’s sounded the alarm I hear the sirens closing in”

The second big moment, the adrenaline along with the instrumental is crazy for real

“The skies are black with lead-filled rain A morbid painting on display This is the night the young love died Buried at each others side”

THIS. (again) is the main theme of the drawing, it’s where the inspiration flood over me, the scene was clear in my mind, c’mon if you read till here there’s absolutely no reason not to listen to the song you won’t regret im not even getting payed to show it off

ACTUALLY FORGET IT- i just won a sub on Cody Carson’s stream WHAT IS LIFE??????? Thanks Max!!!

I totally didn’t draw this while listening to the music when i should be working what are you talking about??

Hold the sketch, focus on the gun. It’s dope aint it?

Anyways, here goes the lore, along with the music lyrics I filled up the gaps, well, Suz and Joey are not around, maybe doing school stuff Julie didn’t feel like doing so she decides to hang out with Frank in the meanwhile, they’re on the lodge, bored, upset about the world cause it’s what teens do in their free time, listening to one of their mixtapes, probably Frank’s, the more hardcore one when the idea hit: what if they try some good mischief? “There’s a small banks a mile from here, want some adrenaline babe?” And oh of course she does, grab your mask, here we go

Sorry, not a big legs-drawing fan��

They grab their knives, put on the masks, get ready, drive to the bank. I didnt really think this part through, the song says it all. Long story short - they rob the bank, the police arrives, the action begins.

They brought their knives, didn’t expect the cops to show up with guns, damn they didnt even know little Ormond cops had actual guns. After long minutes of hiding on the bank safe the couple decides to fight their way out, they would be more useful alive than dead so laws could apply, but that went out of question once Frank stabbed the first bank employee on his triumphal way out, the police don’t think twice before shooting to protect the citizens inside.

Frank and Julie have too little time to react, the stress and anxiety kicks in, they go feral, crazy cinematic bullet avoids, for a moment it’s possible to get away. It all happened too quick, but in Julie’s vision it went slow motion. She just saw a cop leaning behind a car, aiming directly at Frank, even her fastest reaction wasn’t fast enough to stop the trigger from popping. With tears in her eyes she watches as the bullet hits her boyfriend right in the chest.

She snaps. One target in mind, she sprints to the cop and stabs him over and over until she’s sure he won’t see the sun set ever again. She takes his gun and rushes towards Frank who is kneeling against a taxi holding his torax, she screams that they must go to the hospital immediately but he refuses, hospital would be just a quick stop on his way to jail. No fucking way.

He demands to go back to the lodge, the cops are too busy helping their wounded partner to look for them, they think Frank may be dropped dead somewhere on the street after multiple shots, the two of them must flee before the cops realize the mistake and go hunting for them. NOW.

Julie side-carries Frank back to their car, the lack of a license of her own won’t stop her from driving as fast as the car can. Breathing heavily while constantly telling Frank to hold on, they will find a way out, they must do. Oh what a fucking stupid idea holy SHIT.

The travel takes half the time it usually does and still feels like hours. The car gets all red with Frank’s blood that keeps leaking. Once they arrive, Frank wants to go upstair, Julie shouts at him to keep next the central campfire once he should grab some heat (and for god’s sake why is he still carrying the money bag they stole????), anyway he gets the last word and they climb the stairs up and lay on the bed, Frank hisses from the pain but also sighs in relief for the soft spot under him, ignoring Julie cursing besides him, saying she can still call an ambulance, she doesnt want to lose him, Suz and Joey will be devastated, although he just replies with the phrase they were saying sooner that day “They’ll never take us alive”.

After 20 minutes of agony, low whispers of memories of how they met, what they had been through together and a huge amount of blood moisturing the covers, Frank says he’s feeling light-headed, Julie looks at him and he’s paper white, the blood loss is finally getting to him, she wants to cry, scream, curse and stab that damn cop a hundred times again, but all she does is cuddle her head harder against his shoulder and tell him she loves him, that she will keep his legacy alive, with Joey and Susie, she will revenge him. He chuckles and slowly feels the life being drained from his weaked body until everything goes black.

Julie need a few seconds to process. Frank died. For real. He was good a few hours ago, he was right. They would never take them alive. Death could do them apart, but, he never said for how long they would be apart.

She reaches for the gun on the hand under Frank’s body. THAT DAMN GUN. She aims it to the side of her head, never leaving Frank’s side on the bed. Triggers it.

“Partners in crime”

Damn did I just write a fucking fanfiction? This shit is way longer than I expected, did anybody even get down here?

Well, this is the part of the drawing where i left cause I just couldn’t afford to work on it, have in mind everytime the file were opened the whole lore came in my head, and fuck did i feel dizzy writing it all down. Hell the bloody details get me, seeing Frank so white with a blue undertone simulating the lifeless body gave me headaches fr. My escape was drawing other things until the courage to finish it came back. It was easier because the story kinda faded away from my mind, the drawing became “lighter” to deal with.

Well, guess that’s it. I hardly have this big insight while drawing, to visualize the finished piece on my brain and it’s just so fucking cool, making art with so many mixed feelings along, and overall pride, cause i feel so proud with the result you have no idea. It isn’t perfect tho, but i like it anyway. So, thank you so much if you made it all the way here. gonna sleep now for fucks sake im gonna pass out bye

TUA Unpopular opinions?

Don’t get me wrong, i love the show but there are a few things that i dont like/ dont make sense to me so i wanted to have a little rant about it but im gonna do it under a read more so you all dont have to listen to me ramble so,

Em’s TUA unpopular (?) opinions (about s1 maybe but mostly s2):

I personally felt like they dumbed down Diego and in s2, i dont understand how he went from being in love and absolutely devastated about patchs death and then just completely forget about her and suddenly become in love with lila in what? 70 days? to me it felt like a cop out way of introducing Lila to the hargreeves.

After 3 years sober klaus didn’t improve his powers at all??? like yeah we saw in the opening scene him using the ghosts to his advantage then that was it, there was no evident improvement to his powers except more control with ben. Surely hed be seeing more ghosts, having control over more ghosts or just anything,, but we didnt get that at all. I personally felt like he had more to do in s1 with his powers and we saw some great progression, we saw as he got sober when he was getting tortured he started seeing more ghosts then used them to his advantage and he literally died and came back to life.

At this point its becoming very inconsistent with him seeing the ghosts that hazel and cha cha have killed but not five??? or lila??? especially since he was sober (at least for a few days) in s1 and in s2 he just didn’t see any ghosts other than ben?

The writers keep writing Five out when its convenient to them and its just becoming,,, anoying?? theyve made him too powerful but instead of actually letting him use his powers with his siblings they just send him away to do something else when if he was there it would be completely avoidable. and when hes actually in these fight scenes they dumb him down, hes the most efficient assassin ever, hes the best assassin ever yet whenever hes in one of these fight scenes they make him do some very untatical skills that he just wouldn’t do

Number5theboy did a very good post about this

Allison has such a huge potential as a character and its frustrating how much her character is basically nothing like her comic character. some people may be happy about the fact shes nothing like her character but it just?? doesnt sit right with me. She was a bad bitch in the comics yet the only similarities from comic to tv was her relationship with luther (which in the comic she rumours him to being in love with her, not even them just being in love), her daughter and that she got her throat slit by vanya.

and to be honest she is a bit of a bitch in the comics and i really wanted to see more of that, like i appreciate her story development in the show but i wanted to see her and five and the whole story line of her and him and the involvement in JFK, i wanted to see that development in their relationship, her getting her voice back because of Five and the commission, her having some involvement with his assasination

now i know that they would not be able to make her pretend to be jackie, physically it would not happen but there could of been all sorts they could of done but instead they just wrote it all out and it peeved me off

it would of completely changed some of the sibling dynamics and it would be super interesting for diego have to deal with the fact his own sibling killed JFK

Five not eating carmicheal, there was other ways they couldve gotten lila to find the files and they ripped a great scene from the show to give it to a character that wasnt even in the comics

the fact that Five didn’t shoot vanya in the head and say “I never liked you” because he would be trying to break her powers basically, then vanya loosing all her memories when they travelled, five could do the whole be soft and then him saying “you really dont remember anything, do you?” and then her regaining her memory, i think it would be great personally

also five just being a dick, because he is in the comics, and i know its not the comics but if he’d of had the scene before him and allison go to the commission he opens up to allison about his commission time

im a gazelle and the jungle is my home is an iconic line and was yet again missed out

a topic i am affraid to talk about, lila: (this may be kinda long)

i do not like lila as a character, i dont like how she treats diego and exploits him and acts like everything is fine (she drugged and kidnapped him??!!??) and what the fuck are her powers

her entire character doesnt make sense, they just needed someone powerful to fight vanya and five

when did she even have the time to figure out her powers, Five clearly does not recognise her and neither do the other siblings so theres no chance she was able to practice during the commission because Five obviously wasnt around. And then she can just use them perfectly??? doesnt make sense to me

and i know some people love lila but she just grates me the wrong way

and now the writers have came across another problem of making her too powerful for her own good

and there was no clear build up to her powers, i wish they wouldve just introduced a new power because it would be so much less confusing

where does she fit in the timeline as well because five went on that mission with the handler but then just wasnt around for the next 25ish years when she was raising her???

the writers have bitten off more than they can chew with her i think and i will be very impressed if they somehow manage to pull it off

she just felt very random and forced into the show in my opinion

The fact that no one mentions fives actual open wounds that he probably still has, last i checked an actual shrapnel wound doesnt heal in what? 14 days? but they just ignored it i guess

in s1 Five not getting reggies monocle, just having diego throw it into the ocean im?? like why?? for what???

luther being in love with allison feels very slightly one sided when in the comic she!! rumoured!!! him!!!!

she basically didnt use her powers for anything useful and when she was about to lila used her power of imitation??? to rumour allison instead

kinda what i talked about earlier but five being the main plot driver until its inconvenient to the writers and then they make him dumb it frustrates me to no end

i just dont understand why they couldnt have lila with a brand new power, not just mimicking because it doesnt make sense and then she has the ability to use it perfectly when she wouldnt actually have any experience in using it??? if the writers are literally going to add christopher the cube they could of given her a better power

all the siblings basically just dismiss five, all the time, the only sibling through the show who have actually done something for five is Klaus in s1 when he literally smashed a snowglobe into his head for five and didnt even know why they were there. Even when luther goes with five he straight away sides with older five and like?? i understand it was a funny thing to add in but even then like its just odd

young five and old five not really having the same energy, its really minor but the five in s1 does not match the energy of old five in s2 when hes just about to go to 2019

these are all just my opinion and just something i wanted to get off my chest, if you dont agree with these its completely valid.

#something i wanted to get off my chest #its a lot #i love the show but these things have just grated me the wrong way #and yeah some of them are unpopular i think whoops

Hey congratulations on 1900 followers that's amazing! 😄 Id love to hear your commentary on Sour, its such a great fic I love the whole tense dynamic between them at the start, the whole thing is super hot 😍 and the ending is so cute ! Thanks💕

Hi dear! Thank you so much and I’m glad you liked Sour! It was so much fun to write and I really miss it. I wrote kind of a lot and a little bit about my inspiration and each chapter! I’m so happy you asked me about Sour because I miss talking about it!

I can’t add a read more because I’m on mobile but I hope you enjoy my little commentary!

Background: so I got inspired to write this from Lou Reed’a song Hanging Around. I really liked the lyrics and wanted to base my story off it but when I began writing I went an entirely different direction. I still kept the you know... Arrogant and full of herself reader but I at first wanted it to be an all girl punk band traveling with queen on tour but then that idea got to be too much so then I did a female in a mostly male punk group. I chose bass because its a well known fact that girls that play bass are hot. I chose a punk band because T. Rex toured with a punk group to try and unite the two genres and audiences together.

Chapter 1.

OH GOD this is perhaps my second favorite chapter. I came up with the chapter title after never naming my chapters and kind of ran with it. I was pretty feral at this time and was very touch deprives so I got all my aggressions out here. I also had reader drink my favorite combination of drinks called a boiler maker which is a shot of whisky chased with a full beer and made her experience that night based off of one of my own I had earlier this year (that’s a story for another time). It’s just HOT AND FERAL AND I LOVE THE HATRED BETWEEN THE TWO

Chapter 2.

So at this point I knew I wanted it to have long ass chapters and to be shorter because I tend to dwindle off when writing long fics (*ahem* see FSC) so for this chapter I picked up the pace. I wanted something feral and something soft which hopefully I made. I wanted roger to be slightly touch deprived and needy for physical contact due to his divorce and other life issues which is why I made the s*x scene between the two so soft but then added the Intense one towards the end. This is also where we see the two of them beginning to develop feelings. The arguing during the recording in the beginning was inspired by all of the Beatles out takes i would watch on YouTube.

Chapter 3.

This was my all time favorite chapter and low key the hardest to write for some reason. I loved the Rogerina part I added in at the beginning because it was entirely self indulgent. I love the part where reader tries to leave and Roger stops her. This is really a turning point for the whole story because it becomes slightly more domestic and GAH the s*x scene between the two of them is just so FBDKFJSJ I also wanted to add more to her bandmates. I really enjoyed them as side characters and thought they added some good comedy to the overall story line

Chapter 4.

I also really liked this chapter. Here reader and roger are in a somewhat established relationship. It’s new and they set up boundaries like when they are on tour. I like having jealous!reader and drunk!reader make an appearance. I feel like they are both big babies and I love it. I also liked the teasing through the whole chapter and then the reversed roles and slight revenge reader gets. I honestly didn’t like the ending part but I couldn’t think of anything else and the story was getting too good. They needed something to disrupt their lives so I made reader have a pregnancy scare. It’s kind of a cop out but fics with cheating hurt my feelings too much.

Chapter 5.

So I DIDNT want reader to be pregnant because I thought that would literally ruin her whole career(my own personal opinion) but I like that roger is supportive and not mean about it. I like the relationship I have the band with their manager. I really wanted Hank to be a total nerd and square that managed a group of young rambunctious punk rockers. The interview scene is actually one of my favorites and inspired by the Beatles interviews I have watched where they are sassy and don’t give a fuck. I also wanted to make dad!roger make an appearance because I think it’s soft and sweet but I realized I am bad at writing children I’m honestly not satisfied with the ending very much but I could t think if anything else to right. I had a morning after written but I hated it and knew I wanted the series to end with this chapter and if I didn’t end it where I did the chapter would have been endless boring nonsense.

Overall I thought the whole story was fun to write and I would love to write more where roger and reader are older but I would have no idea where to start haha.

The family’s little secret - Part 2

The end of the part 1 was cut when i made some change. I’m putting it back there with part 2. Enjoy !

“The Police. They owned me one. Now, are you staying there ? I mean, it's been years, maybe she doesn't even live there anymore but it's up to you if you want to try.”

He didnt' have to ask twice, Klaus took his jacket and pushed Diego out.

“You need to drive.” “I know. My car is waiting.” “You're my favorite brother.”

He ignored Ben's hurtful look.

Two hours on the road and Diego was really close to killing Klaus now. He loved his brother and all, plus it was kinda normal that he felt like talking about all this, but he could never shut up.

“Oh god, I remember trying to climb the wall and join her but failed so she did it herself, and she was actually smaller than me. It was both embarassing and hilarious at the same time. Oh ! Oh ! Oh ! And this time when we almost got caught by dad you know ? So I just pushed her under the bed but I hit her head and she had a bruise for a week.”

Diego sighed heavily.

“Yeah, nice friendship you guys used to have. I may start being jealous now.” “Oh ! Come on ! She wasn't even mad.” “But she was crazy to go through all this shit for you.” “You're absolutly right. Can't you go faster ?” “I'm already driving too fast 'cause I can't stand you anymore.” “Thanks !”

Finally. Diego praised the Lord they finally made it. It was a big nice house, with a garden with many trees behind. No wonder, Dad must have gave them a lot of money, Diego thought. Klaus ran out of the car, jumped the barrier and started knocking on the door. When no one answered, he started to panick.

“Oh my god, what if she left ? What if I could never find her again ?”

Diego joined him and hit him on the head.

“It's her family name on the door. Even if she may not be living with her parents anymore, you could still ask them.”

“Oh damn you're right.”

A sudden bark made them look to the left and they saw a big german sheppard running toward them. The dog was probably mad they came here without being invited in the first place. Diego couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his brother starting to climb the wall.

“What on Earth are you doing ?” “Visiting.” “Wait, what ?” “I'll be right back !” “Klaus ! No way, get back here !”

It wasn't the first time that Klaus was doing something like this, he could see it. Diego ran back to the car, while Klaus made it to the rooftop and screamed with joy.

“(Y/N) !”

You didn't expect that. Especially since you were taking a bath with some chilling music in the background. This idiot almost made you have a heart attack. Through the window you could see a cheerful guy waving at you. You panicked, grabbed a towel and start yelling.

“What the hell ? Who are you ? Leave or I'll call the cops !”

The guy must have been a psycho for climbing that high.

“(Y/N) ! It's me !”

Wait. That voice. It was incredibly familiar.

“Oh god. Klaus ? Klaus fucking Hargreeves ?” “It's me sweetie ! Will you let me in ?”

You couldn't believe it. For sure, you missed that guy for years and dreamt about him coming back to you, but you grew up knowing it was impossible. You knew everything, how he forgot about you because of his dad and number 3's powers and after that, you tried your hardest to move on. You really did. Dated a few guys, traveled a lot to see new places. You even did some stuff you should never had but you were desperate. You never succeeded.

“It's been years, and you have to just come through the window, don't you ?”

You started opening it though, still clenching your towel with one hand. He jumped in and started hugging you. With absolutly no shame of the situation.

“Damn, you're red. Was that bath too hot ?” “Klaus. Let me get dressed.” “Alright.”

He wasn't moving at all. You sighed and pushed him.

“Get out ! I'll be right back.” “Oh, by the way, my brothers are downstairs. Ben doesn't need an invitation but can I open the door for Diego ?” “Sure. Just... Don't touch anything. It's not my house.” “Sure thing sweetie !”

Klaus helped Diego to come in, he opened the door and shouted for him to run in. Diego was already tired of this shit but felt like he didn't want to stay in his car anymore. He ran in front of the dog and they both crashed on the sofa.

“Are you gonna tell me what happened there ?”

Ben was laughing his ass off. Klaus never saw him like that.

“What is wrong with you ?“ “Poor girl, she didn't see it coming.” “Hey ! I'm sure she's happy too ?”

Diego punched him in the arm.

“That's rude ! You're ignoring me to talk to Ben and I don't understand anything !” “This idiot is laughing and I have no clue why, I want to know !”

Somehow, suddenly, Diego could see Ben.

“Klaus just interrupted the girl while she was taking a bath and wasn't ashamed at all to knock on the window.” “So what ? I missed her ! Well. I didn't know before today, but I did !”

Diego put his head in his hands.

“I don't even know how you could make friend in the first place.” “Hey ! I'm very lovable.” “In a weird way, he his.” Ben saied before vanishing again.

You took five whole minutes to catch your breath and think. Then you got dressed and waited to calm down. The very best friend you could never forget was back. He came all the way here to see you. How and why, you didn't know, but right now, you were struggling to stay sane. You wanted nothing more to go downstairs and jump in his arms but it's been a long time. What if you’ll never be friends like you were before ? You took a few more minutes to think about it before you decided you'd never get any answers if you stayed in your room. Your heart was beating really fast but you still made it to the kitchen, grabbing some stuff to eat and drink.

“Guys. You've come a long way, want anything ?”

Klaus answered first, excited as a kid.

“Coffee ! With a lot of sugar !”

You came through the opening of the door.

“Not sure you need sugar. You're already very... You.” “Thank you ! Coffee is disgusting without it though.” “Fine, you're still such a kid. Diego ?” “Same. Without the sugar please.”

You came back with the drinks and sat with them. After a few minutes of silence, Klaus finally started to talk.

“So ? How are you doing ? Still living with your parents ?” “I'm fine I guess. And no, they're on holidays, they needed someone to keep the dog.” “Which dog ?”

Diego almost spat out his coffee.

“Are you fucking kidding me ?”

The dog started barking outside, as if he was offended himself.

“Oh, that one !”

You started laughing. You got scared for nothing, you realised that. Klaus could never change, that was a fact.

“And you guys ? How've you been ?”

Diego wasn't sure why you were being so friendly with him too. He knew about everything, like his others siblings. They kinda felt responsible for what happened and never tried to make up for it sooner. He could understand why Klaus used to be very found of you and still was now.

“To be honest, I'm tired of this guy. Had to spend a few hours with him in the car so I might leave you two alone to catch up ? I'll get him back tonight.”

Klaus had the saddest look on his face, Diego was pretty sure it was just the same as a kid who was disappointed for Christmas. You smiled.

“It's ok Diego, that was very nice of you to bring him here. Not sure 4 hours or so will be enough though, I have many questions as well. What about you go back to the Umbrella Academy and he'll spend the night here ? Got my drivers licence, I'll drop him off tomorrow.”

Klaus was really close to jump in excitement. His brain didn't remember you, but his heart did, he was sure about it. It felt like being whole again. He hugged Diego, genuinely happy that he made all of this for him. He wasn't sure he could forgive the others this fast.

“Thanks.” “I'll see you tomorrow. You better behave !“ “Always !” “You mean never.” “Maybe.”

You gave him a nod. Number 2 could definitly see that you were happy as well but not really comfortable around him for the moment. That, he could understand. So he left, pretty proud of himself. “(Y/N) ?”

“Yes ?” “You didn't try to find me again after... The thing ? ”“You mean, when they made you forget about me ?” “Yep.” He didn't expect your reaction at all. You were smiling and laughing the second before and now, you had tears in her eyes. He felt guilty but didn't know why. “How can you ask me this ? I mean. I came back, you asked me who I was you know ? Damn, Klaus, that was fucking hard. I didn't even know how Allison's power was working. If I could help you to remember or if you just never could. I didn't even think it'll be possible that one day you'll come here ! I thought I'd never see you again.” After a few minutes of silence, he put an arm around you, suddenly very serious. “What a shitty dad I had.” You smiled. “Indeed. So. You must have plenty of stories and I want to hear every single one of them !” He started to think. “Mh. I need to tell you about the end of the world, oh and about Ben ! I can do stuff I never knew I could ! Oh and Dave. I wanna tell you about Dave.” “Was he your new bestfriend ?” “He was my bestfriend and my boyfriend !” You tried really hard to ignore that pain in your heart. For your friendships' sake, you had too. But he must have knew, because he added something.“But that was very different. You were my bestfriend and my girlfriend. I could paint my nails with you, he never agreed to that.” You punched him slightly in the arm. “What ?” “I was your girlfriend ?” “Oh. I thought you knew.” You were dumbfounded. “Klaus, you're an idiot.”

Silence is golden

Drake: Hey you guys want to see one of my adventures from last week? Than take a seat and open those ears up cause have i got a story for you.

In the city of Etrinitat on the corner of main and etheral st a two story old-fashioned wooden establishment sits. The sign a top the doors reads, Alpha & Omega, Bar and grill. Inside was a bustling collection of mobians big and small from avians to deep diggers to the deepest underwater divers. A female dark red wolf is behind a bar counter serving older customers liquor drinks and scaring off under age kids. She has two blue stripes under her sea blue eyes and her hair like fur is done in a single massive braid. Shes wearing a sleevless leather jacket with a tank top underneath, dark blue skin tight jeans and spiked boots on her feet.

"Mom im cutting out early today." A maroon colored male wolf with hedgehog quills barely extending from his head says to the female. He has a black stripe going down the only two quills he has and the same matching blue stripes under his glowing amber eyes. The male is in a sleevless parka, black zipper boots, and gloves with a slightly raised bump on the knuckles.

"Yeah and do what my son?" She asks. Turning to him after serving another customer. The boy places down a crystal double tapping it so a hologram of a bounty appears. Its of a raccon with a list of crimes.

"Drake this guy is an sociopath with a hard on for killing hunters and civilians. Not to mention he probably has a following with him." The woman says.

"Mom i know this. Its the reason i took the job in the first place. You know physical attacks either don't connect or do any real damage, not to mention I'm probably one of only two other people in this building who can actually get close to him." Drake says.

"Sky let the boy go. He needs to learn to take care of himself anyway, and he cant do that if you hold him back from jobs or doing them alone." A purple hedgehog says from the door leading to the kitchen. Her eyes are normal amber compared to the boys, her quills done in a ponytail are greying slightly at the tips as they stop just past halfway down the door. She has a single white stripe on top of her head down her middle quill and a black stripe down each of her outer quills. Shes dressed in sports top and short, and hightop shoes with a chef outfit over it all.

"Thank you Aunt Aura. See mom even Auntie thinks i should give at least one solo job a shot. Look if it doesnt turn out to well than i will not ask again to take a solo. But if it does than can you please just let me do my own every now and then?" Drake asks his over protective mother. Sky bites her lip wanting to say no but knowing they both have a point.

"Fine. But if you get into any trouble trigger the flare and your brother will be there to back you up." Sky says locking a braclet around her second sons wrist.

"Will do ma. Alright ill be back in a couple days. He's in the grassland plains. How he hasnt been caught already, besides his psychotic nature, ill be finding out soon enough." Drake says picking up the crystal and running out the door. He kicks into high gear once outside the bar and runs across the city in a minute flat to the west wall gate.

By nightfall Drake has finally escaped the great forest that surrounds his home and the city. He groans stretching.

"Damn i really wish i had dads super speed, but no, it went to Scarlet and Inferna only. Me and Bane gotta push just to keep up and i have to push harder since Bane can clear the forest in minutes thanks to his wings." Drake grumbles to himself as he stretches his sore legs. A orb flies out from his jacket.

"Oh stop complaining. Your compensation for these little differences is me and our shared abilities. After all none of them can use the Astral plane, like i told you to use, to travel nearly instantly." A feminine voice says from the orb.

"I got excited and forgot ok. No need to chew my head off Aster. Besides wheres the adventure in instant travel? If we had we wouldn't had to chase away those pups from the cargo transport and kept supplies running to the city." Drake says to the orb. The feminine voice huffs and returns to his jacket.

"Fine but when this job is done we go home my way. Last thing we need is for you to lose your prey fending off adolescent feral wolves again." Aster says before going silent again. Drake chuckles as he starts running again headed to the city of the plains Primous.

Day break arrives and Drake yawns from his room inside a old fashioned inn. He arrived around midnight in the city and could only find this building to rest in. He stretches getting a few pops in his back from sleeping on the lumpy mattress. He grunts as he gets up off the bed and walks to the sink in the room. He spashes ice cold water in his face and reaches into one of his inner jacket pockets. Seemingly deeper than it looks he pulls out some morning hygiene tools.

Half an hour later Drake heads down to the main floor and walks out waving bye to the shop keep. The town is now bustling with buisness, cars driving by pedestrians walking around and kids heading to schools nearby. Drake smiles as he jumps up onto the roof and takes in a birds eye view of the city. Whistling as the crowded busy streets clog up in the mornng traffic. A few sky scrapers litter the city and a few cathedrals, his targets usual dumping sites. Smirking Drake jumps from the building and lands on the sidewalk, he heads into the deeper parts of town blending in as much as he can.

Three hours later Drake is stopped at the last cathedral in the city.

"The place where it all started. A city inspector came to check on the building and found several dead bodies placed in various forms of worship. The cops caught video footage of the raccoon in question shortly after the bodies were found in other cathedrals. Mobians have been scared of this place ever since and the neighborhood has been evacuated do to that fear." Aster says while Drake stands by the doors.

"And some mobians have come to worship him as a new messiah with the messages he's left with the last seven victims. I wonder why is it than that they cant trace his signal during the 'Prayer' as its been labeled. Someones gotta have a clue to where this loon is." Drake mumbles as he stares at the gothic doorway of the church. He scratches his head as he turns around and bumps into a young female raccoon.

"My bad little lady didnt see you there." Drake says taking a knee to help her up. She shakes her head with a small smile as she takes his hand of help. Drake smells the blood and goes wide eyed for a second before passing out from a needle in his neck. Aster stays silent as Drake passes out.

"See momma I caught the bad man after daddy." The raccoon girl says pulling the needle out and waving at a bush. The female fox that ran the inn Drake slept at walks out.

"Good girl. Now lets get him inside before anyone sees." The fox says grabbing Drake by his feet.

An hour later Drake groans awake strapped to a table with a light glaring down at him. He thinks back to what happened before he fell out. The flash back coming back he sighs and grinds his teeth a little.

"Seems someone is noticing his mistake." Aster says. Drake glares at his jacket quickly and than lays back.

"Cant blame you for that one, i deserved it. Guess the bait was too good for him to pass up." Drake mutters under his breath to Aster. She snorts in reply and Drake feels something hovering over his hands.

"Not yet, let the bait settle a little more. But if you feel like im in trouble...feel free to get dirty." Drake says the sensation leaves his wrist as Aster sighs. Drake whistles a tune from his childhood as he waits for the next half an hour till his target appears. A four foot tall raccon with well built frame wearing a priests robe.

"Hello my little sheep. Glad to see your comfy in your protective bindings." The raccoon says.

"Well you left me on this slab with nothing to get comfy with so i made do." Drake replies.

"Heh you are quite the talkative type arent you little sheep." He says.

"No shit Sherlock, I've been stuck up here for half an hour with nothing to do but whistle an old lullaby." Drake says

"Hmm, do you know why you are here little-"

"Call me little sheep one more time and I'm gonna tear a hole through your windpipe." Drake interrupts the raccoon getting tired of that comendering tone that follows the words.

"Fine than hunter, i assume you are here for my head but it seems you're about to lose yours." The raccoon says dropping the fatherly tone to his true thug accent. He walks towards a table with a bloody cloth over it and powerlines leading out from underneath it.

"You assume I'll lose my head here, but let me ask you, do you know why i didn't tear your daughter in half before the needle touched my skin? Or why I didn't drag your wife out of the bushes when they hid behind me?" Drake asks making the raccoon stop in his tracks. Aster uses the moment to slice the straps lightly, enough that they can be broken with even the slightest move. The raccoon turns around glaring at Drake.

"Dude you think I didnt notice the table setting in the back of the inn? Or that i was being followed from cathedral to cathedral? Not to mention your ladies eyes when she heard me say i was a hunter." Drake says. The raccoon looks confused.

"Than why did you allow yourself to be captured?" He asks walking over to Drake puzzled now.

"Honestly i didnt know you would send your own flesh and blood to capture me, that threw me for a loop for a second. But its just how I hunt by myself. I dont go looking for prey i let them come to me." Drake finishes with a grin freeing his hand and grabbing the raccoon by his robe and tossing him over the table with the power tools. Drake quickly curls into a spin dash to free himself and stands up on the floor. Two gunshots in his direction make him turn towards the firing squad of the wife and child. Rubbing the bridge of his nose Drake summons Aster in physical form. A scythe blade with a gap where its connected to the curved staff, a smaller blade growing out the opposite side. Gold trimm visibly and bulbously formimg a drip down pattern down the staff till it reaches the bottom where the gold turns into a spear point.

Drake spins the scythe around in his hand as he walks towards the two females. Bullets bounce off the scythe like rubber as Drake gets closer to them. Once the ammunition is out Drake stops spinning the scythe and grabs a point on the foxes collar bone that sends her to sleep. He back steps the small Raccoon and slams the wood down across her back before striking her several times with his fingers in specific locations to immobolize her and put her to sleep as well.

"Now that the peanut gallery is take care of, where were we?" Drake asks gibing Aster one final spin before resting her against his shoulder. The male Raccoon has stumbled back on the floor.

"You are some sort of Demon, you must be!" He exclaims. Drake snorts as he grips Aster with both hands.

"Hear that Aster, he thinks we're demons." Drake says. A shimmer from the balde makes the Raccoon back up more.

"Ah if only he could hear me, id havea few choice words for him to show him how demon like we are." Aster says to Drake. Drake grins watching as the man scrambles for a knife. He stops a few feet away from the raccoon whos now on his feet with a serrated blood covered machete. Drake leans one foot forward and one foot back, lowering Aster to hover above the floor he holds her with both hands at the ready to swing. The raccoon charges at Drake like a scared child wildy swinging the machete. Drake waits till hes within two feet of them and swings Aster in an upward arc going right through him, than coming back down in the opposite direction. He side steps as the raccoon passes him still swinging scared. Drake finishes by slicing aster through his neck. All three attacks leave no mark on the raccoon whos confused as he felt the blade go through him all three times.

"Im gonna give you two options now psycho. Come quietly and live out your days in a jail cell nice and comfy. Or." Drake says snapping his fingers. The cuts slowly form where the blade touched, not deep like they should be but enough that they are drawing faint amounts of blood.

"I let your cuts form fully to the point of no return." Drake says making a slicing motion with his thumb across his throat. The raccoon gasps in pain feeling the sensation of the two across his body getting deeper agonizingly slowly.

"Please, just stop the pain! Take me in but stop this torture." He begs. Drake raises a brow and steps over to the writhing raccoon.

"You think this is pain? You think i should show you mercy that you never showed to twenty others? No this isnt pain and suffering, this isnt torture yet little sheep." Drake says makimg the raccoon look up at him for a moment. In that moment drake showed him something few others see unless he wants them too.

"Remember you know nothing of suffering, pain, or torture. I'll take you in but you nore your family will remember the other. Of that i will make sure of." Drake says lifting Aster and slamming the spear point down onto his targets head.

Drake: No i didnt kill the guy. Aster can sever bonds and memories with her spear point. I simply took all threes memories of being together from the point of the killings. The wife thought he had left her and the child and thats the way it will stay while the shit rots his life away in prison now. And quick note from the mun that no more stories this week. He'll have more ready next week but this week he will be focusingnon his other project. If you want to Rp with us we can do that or answer questions. But no stories for the next six days.

2020 has been one hell of a year and it ain’t even over.

So I left off at my 20th birthday... this year could not have gone more differently than what I anticipated. I dont even know where to begin. I guess we’ll talk about the larger events huh.

February was a good month. Spent it around friends and in preperation for my big 20th jam. Jess and I decided to throw a joint birthday party and it was hand down the best idea ever. I think it may have been my favourite birthday party yet. I got way too fuckin drunk lol. Started blacking out around midnight but my friends managed to get me to the garage where jess and I cut our cake in front of everyone. Nights like those are important you know? Surrounded by people you love and people that love you. Its nice lol. And lets be real, I’m full of myself so having a night where everyones focused on me was great lmfao.

Then came march... March 4th Nick and I confessed our feelings for one another. We were on facetime at like 4 am when I decided to bring up “honesty hour.” I asked pressing questions about who crushes and shit and somehow it led to him admitting that I was who he was into. I quickly told him that I feel the same way. It was an precious innocent moment you know? One where you don’t know how you got there or where you’re going but it just feels right to have been honest. Five days later we went on our first date. We went down to the falls where he took me down to a bench facing the water. He got down on one knee and pulled out a ring pop (lol) and asked me to be his girlfriend. Embarrassed, I asked him to get the fuck back up, but quickly said yes as well. we then walked around, back up Clifton Hill. Spent a moment dancing on the street as Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran played in the background. We had dinner at Kelseys. That was that. The start of one the most confusing relationships I’ve had till date.

March also brought the news of someone who drank bat soup in china and caught a mutated virus... little did we know that news would change the way the whole world operated. The virus began to travel quickly, globally. Before we knew it, we were going into to lockdown. Schools closed, everything went online. Masks became mandatory in public. Seeing people other than those in your inner circle became inappropriate.

My roommates and I spent April in a weird routine of waking up after noon, drinking coffee on our back steps, and playing card games till the sun set. By the end of april, everyone was gone. All that was left was Posty and I. Nick would come down a couple times a week which was really nice. Our relationship continued to grow. We were in our own little bubble because of the pandemic. The only people that knew we were even together were those that were closest to us. It was just us.

Lol my attention span is making this all so hard to write.

May/ june ish I spent at home with my parents. It was horrendous. Having been outside of that household for a couple years now, made it all unbearable. I spent every night sleepin in mums room with her. Dad was drunk all day every day. It was suffocating to say the least. Lots of crying. Lots of screaming. Eventually, dad hit mom with a hammer outside and the neighbours called the cops. He got arrested and was told to not come anywhere near mum for months until his trial. We went to the police station, gave a statement and everything. Of course, though, he was back the next day. Thats when I lost my shit. I needed to get the fuck out of there. So I did. Mom dropped me off to st.kitts soon after.

I spent the next couple of months of the summer here. At peace. Hung out with nick quite a bit. We did all sorts of cute shit together. Hikes, dinners, lunches, site seeing... all that jazz. I would hang out with the 111 girls and have a blast. my roomates came down a couple of times and we had good times. Gurleen and friends from home came down and we had a blast too.

August was pretty chill as far as I can remember. The end of August was weird though. I went to a cottage for like 5 days with nick and his cousins. Long story short: I did not fit in. From my perspective, I was getting along with his cousins really well but nick and his bestfriend were giving me the weirdest vibes. Nick and I fought a few times for the first time ever. Tears were shed. On our drive back we had a moment where he said he didnt know if I fit into his life and I was almost positive we were going to break up right there and then. We pulled up somewhere random and talked a lot about what was up.

lol we’ll continue at some point...

Boundaries, Part 1

Steve Rogers x Plus Size!Reader

Characters: Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes

Summary: You just finished a two year long photojournalist stint overseas and decide to take a break from traveling. So you head back to your home town and lucky enough, your childhood friend Sam Wilson has a few rooms to rent out. So you head back to California and are met with a surprise, a very handsome surprise.

His name is Steve Rogers and he’s a shy guy from Brooklyn, New York. Dragged across the country by his best friend, Bucky Barnes - he hopes to start a new life after a pretty bad break up with his long time girlfriend, Sharon Carter.

Can the of four of maneuver the art of living together? Or will boundaries be crossed?

Masterlist

The air condition hit your face as the music from the car radio blasted, filling the vehicle with the wistful lyrics of Simon and Garfunkel. You turned right on Monterey Ave and it was instant gratification.

The tree lines that ran all the way down the cul-de-sac, there were three houses on each side of the street and when you made the loop, your car settled in front of a modest one story light blue house with white trimming and red brick stairs.

Turning the car off, you sighed in relief. It had been a long trip back to California, after spending the last two years overseas as a photojournalist for an online traveling blog. With your contract done, you decided to take a break from traveling and take a job at the local photography studio. It was just pure luck that your childhood friend and brother from another mother, had a couple of rooms to rent out. So you took him up on the offer, grabbed the two duffel bags you called home and made your way back to Monrovia.

Getting out of the car, you slammed the door against the summer heat and walked over to the trunk for your bags - which consist mostly of camera equipment, mementos from different countries and the little clothing you clung to. Walking across the green lawn, you looked over to the large tree that shaded the house and saw a memory of two kids playing on the low trunk.

“Come on, Sam! Fly! Fly!”

“I’m not afraid of anything!” The little boy roared before jumping of the branch, giggling as he tumbled into a large pile of leaves.

You walked up the three steps to the porch and rang the doorbell, heart pounding away in anticipation. Shouting came from the other side of the door and a moment later, it opened up with an unfamiliar face.

Immediately, you were assaulted by light blue eyes. Then a very impressive dark beard, which you could only assume was hiding a perfect jawline. His lips formed a warm smile as his eyes fell down to the bags in your hand.

“Sam, is that you? I know I’ve been gone for a few years, but damn - you’ve changed.” You spoke dramatically, if only to distract yourself from the attractive man in front of you.

The man chuckled and asked if you were Y/N.

“Yeah. Can I assume you’re one of the other roommates?”

“I’m Steve.” He held out a hand and you took it roughly, making his eyes widen in surprise. “Nice grip.”

“Funny,” you motioned for him to move aside and handed him one of the duffel bags. “My last conquest said the same thing. He was French, so it might have meant something different.”

Steve laughed and shook his head. “Sam told me you were funny.”

You walked into the house and marveled at how different it looked from all the years spent running around it. “Yeah, I’m something alright. Oh, be careful with that bag. Lots of expensive equipment.”

“Equipment?”

You snaked around the couch and dropped the duffel bag on the ground, leaning into the cushions, you looked over to your new roommate. Who was standing there, still holding your bag.

“Sex toys, tons of them. So hard to get them through customs,” you retorted with a serious tone. Steve’s eyes scanned your face, trying to decipher if you were kidding.

“She’s pulling your leg, Steve,”

You jumped off the couch and turned to see Sam with a huge smile on his face. You yelped and ran to him, bringing him into a very large bear hug. The two of you stood like that for a good minute, while Steve watched with a small smile on his face.

“Man, girl. You’ve been running around Europe like crazy,” Sam pushed you off him and shoved you playfully. “I read your blog. Nice pictures.”

Your eyes widen, shooting a look of disbelief to Steve. “Do you hear this? Nice pictures! Are you fucking kidding me! That picture of the Venice canal was beautiful, the sun danced perfectly against the water! I waited all day for the perfect time and you call it nice!”

Sam hollered out and shrugged. “It was alright.”

“Alright,” you mocked him and walked up to Steve. “You’re still holding my bag, you must be really polite. That’s good, we’ll need someone to talk the cops out of hauling our asses off to jail.”

Steve sent Sam a look and the pair of you laughed. You took the bag from his hand and patted his chest lightly. “You’ll learn to tune me out.”

“Who wants a beer?” Sam asked waving a hand for the two of you to follow him, pulling your laptop out of the duffel bag, you followed Steve into the kitchen.

“Man, this place has changed.”

Sam grabbed three cans out of the fridge and placed them on the kitchen island. “Ma renovated a few years but decided to move down to San Diego with my aunt.”

“Dottie or Dee?”

You asked not looking up from the laptop in front of you.

“Dottie,” Sam answered leaning his elbows on the counter.

“I always liked Dottie better,” you concurred, turning your laptop around. “Venice canal. Eat your heart out, boys.”

Steve moved to your side and leaned down to take a look, his arm touched yours and you pretended to fidget with the beer in front of you.

“That is gorgeous,” he exhaled out - eyes focused on the photo in front of him. You watched him carefully with a dreamy smile until Steve’s head turned to face you. “You’re really talented.”

“Thank you,” you practically whispered out and Sam raised an eyebrow, shaking his head.

“Like I said, nice picture.”

Steve chuckled at the menacing glare you sent Sam and he cleared his throat. “So how do you know each other?”

Closing the laptop, you shrugged. “Oh, totally took his virginity when we were 17.”

“You know what, you can leave now,” Sam groaned.

“It’s okay, Sam. It’s part of life, it was very satis-”

“Don’t finish that damn sentence,” he growled, sending Steve a pleading look.

“- fying,” you boasted before waving a hand up in surrender. “Okay, I’ll stop. For Steve’s sake. We don’t want to ruin a good boy from - where are you from?”

Steve’s eyes lit up with pride. “Brooklyn.”

“No way! Our high school friend is from there!”

He smiled and nodded, opening his mouth to speak but Sam beat him to it. “Okay, so the room situation. I thought I’d take my old one, that leaves three open. Figured you’d want the master room.”

“Yeah, I’m good.” You stood up and moved to the pantry, searching for something to eat. “Your parents use to do the do in there, I don’t want it. I’ll take the room with the big bay window. Steve, you can take the ‘do’ room.”

“Ah, I think I’ll pass. I’ll just take whatever else room is available,” he shrugged and looked over to you. “We ordered pizza, should be here soon.”

“Well, if no one wants the master bedroom, I’ll take it.”

A familiar voice appeared at the kitchen door way and your eyes widen in surprise, because it belonged to a very handsome brown haired man - you knew too well.

“Bucky!”

His mouth formed a sly smirk and he held out his hands to you, as you ran over to him. He lifted you off the ground and held you down by the waist. His eyes narrowed as he gave you a once over and you smacked him on the arm.

“God, still look hot as hell.” The man whistled, keeping his hands on you.

“Yeah well, eating nothing but pasta in Italy for weeks helped me achieve this fine figure,” you raved moving from his grasp.

“A little more meat on you and I’d have you screamin-”

Your hand flew to Bucky’s mouth and he laughed against your skin. It was no secret, you weren’t a small girl. In fact, your entire life had gone by with extra meat on your bones and you were cool with it. Confident in your body and frankly, gave no fucks if anyone else didn’t like it.

“We get it Buck, you like girls with a little cushion for the pushin’,” you sighed and released his hand.

He grinned and looked over to Steve, “I told you she was hot.”

Your head snapped over to Steve, who smiled sheepishly. “Come on man, leave the locker room talk at the door.”

“Rules,” Sam declared. “If the four of us are going to be living together, we need boundaries.”

Bucky rolled his eyes and winked at you. “Whatever you say, Wilson.”

“So,” Steve looked from Bucky to you. “You all know each other from high school.”

“Yeah, I lost my virginity to Bucky when we were 16,” you recanted nonchalantly. “So in a way, it was like Bucky taught both Sam and I -”

“ALRIGHT,” Sam interrupted, his voice booming throughout house. His hands clapped together to obtain everyone’s attention, eyes flickered from Bucky to you. “Let’s talk about boundaries.”

Ive yet to see a single person give a good reason why its bad let alone objrctively. No one got hurt, nothing bad happened. I have to assume this has something to do with bucky and sam. Sams a grown ass man who spent 30 years taking care of himself. Hes fine. Steve isnt a councilor. A psychiatrist. "You are suppose to be there for your friends". Steve gave up his body and autonomy to help ppl like bucky in ww2. He gave his life to save new york from getting bombed. He fought the u.s. army, and hydra and the avengers for bucky. Hes always been there for him. And just cus u move away doesnt mean u arent family anymore. There are a dozen posts on this site about how u arent suppose to be the crutch of your friends or family. If your friend relies on you to be their emotional crutch thats abuse. But thats not whats going on. Bucky didnt want steve to be denied what he deserved. He was happy he got to go home. This is just fans inventing a problem that doesnt exist cus they stan "my uwu bisexual traumatized poor white boy". The fact ppl say theyd have rather seen him die than this is disgusting. Cus steve thinks the same thing. Dozens of times hes recklessly thrown hia life down the drain to help others. Thats his arch. Is him realizing HE deaerves to be happy to. And bucky would hate anyone who thought otherwise.

Unless this is the cosmic thing in which we have banner and the sorcerer supreme both agree that time travel iant bad unless something important to the fabric of reality is altered like an infinity stone

-There is no missing action. We saw them get help from refugees and we saw them bring meds and supplies. We dont need to see more we know who they are and what they are doing

-where do u even get this idea? Every character is obviousoy meant as a reflection on him. Walker, hoskins, khali, his sister, bucky, zemo, every scene with them is to reflect on sam, how their actions differ. We have multiple scenes with him reflecting with zemo or bucky or walker about the choices. We had a huge scene where he was depicted to be stuborn, refusing to respect his sisters wishes due to his own control issues and dispair there iant a way to fix anything. We have him shown that hes not as self rightous as cap, his first scene showing him blatantly kill basically all the terroists he came across. He calls out bullshit, makes mistakes, has his own sense of humor

- the...state of the world in a narrative is a vehicle for character development. This is an impossible situayion with 4 billion people suddenly returning. There is no solution. Thats what superheroes were made for. And hell every episode has like 15 mins of fighting at most. ALL of it is characfer development

-thats...called writing, darling. Many things u dont have to spell out. Other things arent important. Other stuff we figure out later.

- why would anyone mention natasha. Theyve barely mentioned 2 avengers and one only cus someone is directly involves. Tgis is sams and buckys story its in the title.

-yes cus sam is stubborn .like with the cop he has to deak with alot of sgit being a black ex military hero from a poor family. He doesnt think he has to explain anything and most of the time hes right. Partially he doesnt feel he ahould have to explain it, partially he doesnt want to think about it cus hes angrier than bucky they violated caps memory and legacy. Thats his struggle and bucky colliding with sams refusal to want to explain his reasons is part of their story.

Why do we need flashbacks of sam? Id love some but his story is most important in the now. Buckys whole story is about him not being the winter soldier anymore so of course we see his past. Its an intentional duality. Sams story is in the present, buckys is overcoming the past

-sam worked for thr military for the last decade, and never quit. He went into a hiding when he was a criminal and acted under the raydar. Hes not a criminak anymore and is doing the hero thing the only legal way, with govt approval

-city was mostly cgi probably and is important for other things. They have one off locations in shows all the time. There is no problem

- you know a half dozen reasons this isnt a problem bucky is an avenger, no ones going to stop him (see wandavision), no one wants to stop him, no one could stop him. So they just let the worlds most dangerous assassin go in cus allegedly hes not dangerous and if he is they dint want to get stabbed.

- literally, what bucky and sam want is part of their story. They are trying to figure it out themselves. And zemo is a psycho.

- bucky isnt acting like that. Hes saying the truth, that a handful of supersoldiers can tople a whole country. But hes backing up sams play who thinks they can descelate them.

Look... Fatws is fun, I love watching it. But story wise I don’t think it’s doing many things well.

1) no one is acknowledging what Steve did and that it was objectively horrible.

2) the link between the flag smashers goals and their actions is missing.

3) The narrative is not establishing Sam’s character beyond extremely selfless and empathetic.

4) using exposition for post-snap world building instead of character’s experiences.

5) leaving a lot of things up to the fans to extrapolate.

There’s so many little things that nag at me: not mentioning Natasha, Bucky not getting the massive hint that it’s not Sam’s fault walker got the shield, not giving Sam any flashbacks, no explanation for why Sam went back to the military, wasting the beautiful setting of Sharon’s crime party, Bucky just being able to waltz into Sam’s military operation, Zemo of all people getting the clearest motivations, Bucky acting like the flag smashers will destroy the world when they’re not? That? Bad? This show has just got me kicking and screaming, “It’s not logical!” Although my opinion of the show may be a result of the massive amounts of meta I’m used to getting from fanfiction. Idk maybe we’ll get more emotional catharsis in the last two episodes, but I’m not sure.

pll story-lines i personally would’ve liked to have seen handled better / more of, a list:

season one:

hanna’s bulimia. something brought up and dropped in a matter of a few episodes only to be mentioned every once in a blue moon throughout the rest of the series in a reference to how she used to be heavier, but not much else.

toby’s rape. jenna, on the night she was blinded, was found by alison molesting her step-brother toby. the incident is never properly addressed for the rest of the series.

season two:

mike’s depression. it was mentioned that mike was going through a lot after the divorce of his (and aria’s) parents, but after it was found out that he had been the one stealing from neighbors houses in rosewood, the story-line quickly disappeared.

the n.a.t club. we still know very little about what the club got up to when it was active & it could have been explored more

vivian darkbloom. in general we know vivian was alison’s alias when on the run, but not much else.

season three:

maya’s death. very quickly brushed under the rug along with emily’s cling to alcohol and her recovery after maya was killed.

the fitzgeralds. there were many ezra story-lines i didnt care for, but to learn more about his family would’ve been interesting.

paige & alison. their past was pretty said and done but there could’ve been more done to their relationship in terms of how it even got the way it did.

paige’s anxiety about -a. after the halloween train paige has intense anxiety over being out at all, and ducks out of plans often to be home in fear of something bad happening to her. in 3x15 she has a small panic attack about being out and its never talked about again.

meredith. out of nowhere locked aria in her room and drugged her with tea so she could search through her things, got found out about it and disappeared with very little explanation.

cape may. alison’s pregnancy scare?? alison, cece, jason, wilden, melissa all at cape may and there was so much potential there but yet, nothing.

toby on the -a team. honestly would’ve loved to see what all he got up to on the team once it was revealed to both spencer and the audience, how the fake death plan came about, where he was hiding out, etc.

spencer’s mental health. completely ignored and implied to be all about toby even after saying she didn’t want to be herself anymore which could’ve led to an interesting mental health dialogue.

spencer on the -a team. taken advantage of!!!! potential to have been dragged further into the next season but cut short to please the network/fans and reunite spencer with toby as a happy non -a team couple.

season four:

spencer post radley. almost as though it never happened, unfortunately.

mike & hanna. this was a thing for a few minutes in 4x15, and while aria doesn’t seem to mind that it happened, i wish they would’ve explained more of what their past relation to each other was like.

spencer abusing drugs. although it lasted for several episodes, the way the issue was treated by her friends, family, and even boyfriend was incredibly awful and not at all supportive, not showing a great example to those that may struggle from drug abuse and are seeking help of their own. added to that, we never got to learn about spencer’s past with drugs pre-series and why it scared her family so much.

ezra’s book reveal. by far the worst cop-out reveal ever done on this show. ezra would have made a great -a, but the story was quickly changed as to not upset fans and was revealed that his stalking was for a true crime novel, and not, as everyone had guessed, about hurting the girls.

season five:

ezra’s redemption. without a second thought ezra is welcomed back into the group with welcome arms despite lying about knowing who aria was and actively stalking her and her friends for information to use in his book. his betrayal is only brought up a few times, but immediately brushed off.

shana. in general, we knew hardly anything of shana, and the next second she’s killed off with minimal grieving.

hanna’s identity crisis. with alison back in rosewood hanna suffers with her image being so similar to alison and desperately changes it. she also begins to depend on alcohol to numb herself with caleb’s return, and is looked down on by her friends who are generally not supportive or helpful as she struggles.

alison’s return. the focus of her coming back to rosewood high should have been an emotional ride for many people at the school for quite some time, but instead it is all shoved into one episode and almost all settled by the next episode.

caleb’s return. personally, after watching ravenswood caleb’s abrupt return to rosewood as a damaged alcoholic in no way fit his character as a response to what he had been through. it also didn’t help that while caleb abused alcohol and was met with concern and interventions, hanna was lectured and avoided.

zach. an older man hitting on a teenager was again severely handled in the wrong way when zach comes on to hanna and she rejects him. following this she’s met with suspicion from her friends and disbelief that zach would do something like it, because he’s engaged to aria’s mom. later, aria quickly apologizes, and zach is attacked by caleb, but unfortunately nothing further is done with the issue.

alison’s life on the run. how did she live?? where all did she stay? how did she often get money? food? how was she able to lay low without anyone recognizing her for so long?

jason & ashley. while incredibly awkward, it was also incredibly intriguing and i would’ve loved to know more about their relationship.

spencer’s crime spree. doing vandalism and then later stealing artwork having a sudden interest in travel instead of going to college and looking at alternatives with jonny was interesting, and then dropped.

season 6:

the dollhouse. there was so much great done here, but i feel they could have elaborated more on the torture they endured for almost a month while trapped there.

dollhouse ptsd. very quickly done for girls that were kidnapped and held captive for so long. while they did get back to spencer’s drug addiction relapse and hanna’s stripping of the room to reclaim its identity as her own, emily’s sudden need to protect herself and release anger by shooting a gun off at a range and aria’s artistic dive into photography were almost afterthoughts.

charlotte’s past. the big -a reveal left a lot of people with more questions than it did answers, but i personally would’ve liked to know about charles/cece and how some of the -a tasks were carried out.

the missing five years. ultimately we got bits and pieces of the girls college years through dialogue and bits of flashbacks, but with an entire five years gone by there could have been much more information to fill that chunk of time they were all away and living free.

charlotte’s death. while its later explained how and when charlotte died, its kind of dull that the reason she ends up being killed off had to do with kick-starting the next and final -a for the series.

wayne’s death. we find out over the time jump emily’s father died, but it is rarely brought up and we never got to see the fields move on from such a loss, although there are mentions.

spencer & caleb. ruining the friendship between spencer and hanna over a boy for relationship drama within the series is something i had hoped pll would have never done, and in the past praised it for doing so. ultimately disappointed in so many ways over the treatment of the characters throughout the short story-line.

season 7:

hanna’s ptsd. after her kidnapping,besides her scars, hanna never really gets to talk about what happened during her kidnapping or how she felt during it.

alison’s ptsd. after being tortured in the hospital by rollins, while they talk about how alison feels about him being dead, no one acknowledges much how he tortured her while in the hospital.

noel’s death. as a character on the show since season one, his death on the show was done so hastily and his character had so much more to explain before being gone for good.

alison & emily. first of all, having the baby be emily’s was an extremely gross move by the writers and violating to both of the characters, but secondly, having the pregnancy ultimately bring them together in a relationship for the sake of motherhood entirely ruined any sort of natural build up they may have had in the future.

mona’s mental health. the game pushes mona back into a prior state of mind from high school, and she states her incidental murder. while the liars are worried about her state of mind, shes sent back to a mental hospital and its brushed aside, as usual.

aria & babies. it’s revealed that aria is unable to have children in her lifetime, and while its an interesting story-line, it would have been nice if it hadn’t been used as a possible reason for ezra to have skipped out on their wedding day.

alex. although twin alex had potential, her character was pushed onto us at the last minute for all of 30 minutes, leaving everyone unsatisfied. her story could have been dragged at for much longer than it was to leave a better ending.

#pretty little liars thoughts #this has taken me far too long im haunted by this shit #socksandtireirons #pretty little liars

OH MAN Why Am I Dead At Sea is SO FUCKIN GOOD

god I’m full of FEEEELS and THEORIES and GAHHHH I cant talk about ANYTHING about this game without spoiling stuff!! So I’m gonna make a spoilery ramble post woo! I havent actually finished it yet so this is spoils for like... up to the very last bit before the start of the final chapter. And I’ll try and talk about stuff in order so like, if you dont mind seeing a few spoils then you can read halfway thru i guess?? I just really wanna be able to reccommend this game and gush about characters without having to talk spoils!! GAHHH!!

ANYWAY U CAN BUY IT HERE Its really cheap and really worth it! Its even on sale right now so its £1.50 instead of £3! DOUBLE CHEAP!! But absolutely remember to backup your savefiles frequently, there’s a pathfinding glitch that can make the game unwinnable. And its a damn shame cos that nearly made me stop playing before I got to any of the good bits! Its easy to avoid once you know about it, at least.

Man, I’m so sad the gameplay has that one big glitch cos its really cool aside from that?? Its super basic and probably not everyone’s cup of tea though, this is a game that you’d only enjoy if you’re the sort of people who like when a game has like.. a codex of extra info you can collect. There’s not as much ‘control people to affect the world’ as you’d expect, its 99% controlling people to unlock different dialogue options. All word puzzles and stuff! And the easiest way to get out of being stuck is just to methodically possess everyone you havent possessed yet, and talk to everyone and click on everything using them. I can imagine that’d be frustrating for people who like.. weren’t already doing that anyway. I Wanted to do that instantly cos I wanna find all the optional insights into everyone’s character! And some funny moments and sweetheart moments and AAAA I care about these people too much already... Oh, and its even more reason to love Paulo cos he gives you tips if you chat to him, and can even outright tell you the solution if you get really stuck. So for players who dont like being all completionist on the dialogue, he’s a very useful helper! I just wish that the ‘outright give you the solution’ option was better labelled so you dont click it by accident. Its just ‘tell me more’, I didnt know itd ruin the current puzzle for me :P

And MAAAAAN this game gets really trancey and atmospheric and I cant even really explain why?? You spend the whole game within this one small area but stuff gets opened up over time and things are revealed about seemingly innocent areas when you gain the new abilities of different people you possess. And how the player character is just this ethereal floaty flame, and how you get used to all the rules of how it works, and how neat the lil animations are. And how you start memorizing the place and all the details about everyone and getting REALLY DETERMINED to protect them GAHHH And the soundtrack is REALLY GOOD

PAULO IS MY SMALL SON PLEASE TELL ME I CAN PROTECT HIM FOREVER tiny necromancer boy aaaaaa he’s so lonely aaaaa he’s on this ship cos he has to ride it all the time on his own to get back from boarding school, his parents cant be bothered to pick him up and he’s just SO YOUNGGGG aaaa he’s like a child prodigy, he’s going to this big scary boarding school several grades above him and his parents are so distant and everyone thinks he can just handle everything because he’s smart and on top of all that he has to keep the secret that he can see ghosts, and theyre like his ONLY FRIENDS even though he only gets to talk to them for a little while before they pass on. YET HE STILL KEEPS HELPING THEM! He says all ‘oh im only summoning you for selfish reasons, I want you to save everyone else on the ship’ but he still helps you resolve your own death even when he knows it means he’ll never see you again. He has to mourn his best friend every damn time he makes one! Aside from that all he has is his teddy bear, showing just how young he really is and how much he FUCKING NEEDS GOOD PARENTS no matter how damn smart the poor kid is and AAAAA... And when you start getting clues about who you maybe are, it gets even sadder cos he’s like... “I didnt know her well but... I liked her. She helped me with my geometry homework.” God he had just ONE MOMENT of incredibly ordinary minimal friendship with this lady and then as soon as he’d got his hopes up THIS SHIT HAD TO HAPPEN! No wonder he locked his door for the entire cruise and refused to be near anyone except his new ghost friend. And gahhh he must have had his suspicions from the start about who it was that died, as soon as she didn’t come back to help with his homework. From his perspective this was just like an inevitable conclusion and he was begging you to find any other answer...

MORE SPOILERY SPOILER I was so fucking terrified when his door finally opened, and all you see inside is empty space. I mean it was a punch to the gut indeed that someone else died that we only really just met, but I’m WAY more terrified that the main sidekick for the whole game is potentially gonna die! He’s just vanished though, so I’m hoping that whether you save him or not is what determines the bad endings? So it IS possible to save him right?? SPOILER ENDDDDDDD

I’m still really confused how to feel about Xu though. I mean she’s such a huge jerk but I still cant help but feel sympathy for her?? And I feel like.. if I am supposed to hate her then its kinda annoying that the game brings up all these sympathetic concepts just to sorta discard them, they only exist to be her failed excuses for her actions. I dunno, its just sorta messed up. But it also means that if I AM supposed to agree with her actions then its messed up too?? And either way its frustrating cos she’s the only chinese character in the cast and her plot is so... gah. She’s this jerkass to everybody and she steals from the customers and then her excuse is ‘but I’m so poor and I’m a minority, how dare you yell at me for stealing’ and then she NEVER GIVES THE STUFF BACK and you never have any option to tell anyone?? And its so messed up cos like.. Anton actually IS a privilaged guy and I can see why she’d be mad that he’s in this job because he ‘wants to travel’ whereas she has to take it because she’s literally homeless. I mean if they actually discussed that then it’d be a good plot. And its a shame you cant bring up the secrets you find about Anton even when you get full possession of him, you find out he also had a meltdown and flunked out of college cos he just couldnt handle it, they could have been able to bond over that and realise they were both having misconceptions about each other’s motives for things. Like, she saw him as some guy who just chose to drop out of the education she wishes she could go back to, because he’s soooo rich and he can do whatever he wants. And he’d never considered how good he’s got it, and how other people are denied the same opportunities, and how he can use his privilage to help make the world fairer for these other people! Its just.. like.. you dont even find out that Anton IS rich until AFTER the conversation about Xu stealing his stuff, so it comes out of nowhere and feels like the game is saying privilage is a stupid concept thats not real and its being used as an excuse for her to be horrid. Either that or its on Xu’s side and its saying shoplifting is fine as long as you steal from white people?? And like.. Anton didnt do ANYTHING to make it seem like he deserved it, as far as we see. He’s never even rude to her?? He doesnt seem to do anything racist or classist. Its just like she assumes he;s that way because he’s a rich white guy but the game shows him to be Super Innocent so is it saying that everyone who ever accuses anyone of racism is always lying or.. gahhh?? It just feels like its trying to make a statement but I have no clue what it is! And this is the only time racism is ever discussed so it kinda stands out?? Also.. like.. NOBODY ever discusses the name issue?? Its really confusing, cos even her steam trading card calls her ‘Xu/Sue’. Ingame EVERYONE calls her Sue except herself and the interface. But its never drawn attention to, or explained?? So like, am I actually meant to assume that everyone is mispronouncing her name? But there’s no option to not do it! Or to bring up the subject! Anyway I just CANNOT stop feeling sympathy for her every time I see the damn wrong name in all these text boxes. Even if she’s an abrasive asshole half the time she feels like she has some sense of morality deep down, and that she’s been pushed to this extent by a terrible life rather than just choosing to become this sort of person. She’s just kinda like the ‘token evil good guy’ on the team. Even though she’s committing petty crimes it pales in comparison to the bigger horror that’s going on here :P

MAN it felt so damn good to finally get the reveal on Donavan and play as him for the first time! I mean whoa what a good climactic moment! What an uplifting! And what a downlifting when it gets cut short by tragedy, lol I TOTALLY KNEW IT that he was a cop! I mean seriously he was such a clear red herring, he was being pushed so heavily as the killer and we never got to know anything actually about him. And when you read his mind the ‘I WILL FIND YOU. I WILL EXTERMINATE YOU.’ struck me as something that could easily have a double meaning if he was a detective looking for the real killer! It was just SO BADASS when you finally get to control him and you have the power to enter every room and find clues that were locked off for ages! And it feels like you’re finally making progress so it was such a great story decision that the killer gets him immediately afterwards. And how their last taunt to him is that he was NO WHERE NEAR solving the mystery! Its just a taste of power and then its all thrown away and it makes you SO FUCKING DETERMINED to finish what donovan started with your weak lil protagonist hands NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES GAHHHHH

And then finally regaining a humanoid ghost form and being able to unlock the last two people’s tragic backstories by visiting their dreams!! And gahhh it was so interesting and sad that you have to lie and pretend to be the ghost of someone else they care about, in order to get through to them and say what that person would have said if they had got the chance to be the protagonist instead of you. It was actually a genuine huge surprise to learn that Gwen wasnt remotely involved with the murder! Like, she spent the whole game being paranoid that someone is coming after her, and everyone was saying she’s JUST paranoid, and then it turns out she WAS just paranoid! But I love that the game is actually sympathetic to her paranoia and shows how it’s a legitimate mental illness. Its left more mysterious than a lot of the other backstories, but it seems that her father or uncle or someone abused her and her sister when she was a child, and her sister was killed while she escaped. And even though its over she’s been haunted by the belief he’ll find her any second now, causing her to destroy her own life through reckless decisions, jumping up and running away every time things start getting good in her life. She doesnt even know where she’s running to! And GOD I really liked how you resolve it, you dont just cure people’s mental illnesses by giving them a motivational speech. But you help them feel like they’re able to endure it, that they’ll get better someday and that they should accept help from therapists. And NOT BLAME THEMSELVES for being sick! I just really liked the line “yes, this is a living nightmare, but if you’re awake you can change things”.

And when you do the similar dream sequence for Darryl there’s an even better climactic line! Its like, after a whole game of him blaming himself for his wife’s suicide, going over a bazillion different scenarios of how he could have prevented it, you just say... “I was sick, there was nothing you could do.” There isnt some magical REASON why she became depressed, her life with him was as happy as he could have given her. It wouldnt have just stopped if her life was perfect, she had to get treatment, its an illness. It wasnt anyone’s fault, it was just a bad stroke of chance that she never told anyone about it and never got a chance to be treated, or even to talk it through with her husband at all. Her diary is just full of her feeling guilty that she must be making it up because she loves her husband so much and it’d be like insulting him to admit she isnt happy within her own skin, when he does everything to be the best husband he can. Goddd.... its so sad that its BECAUSE THEY WERE HAPPY that she was in this position where she never sought help! Where she just shouldered it herself and hoped it would go away on its own! And god, you get to see that Darryl does indeed have antidepressants in his room, unlike her he did seek therapy and its just because of his guilt that he isnt fully accessing that help. And he’s taking these drugs instead of his proper medication, and he’s planning his own suicide at the end of the trip. And god, you get to talk him down from it and say what his wife wanted to say, and save him from meeting the same fate as her! You’re just sick, Darryl. She was sick too. Its not anyone’s fault that someone stays depressed, nothing can magically make depression go away, you have to see a doctor like with any other illness. You cant just talk it away by telling yourself that you ‘should’ be happy and youre somehow choosing to feel this way...

GODDDD I hope poor mr stubble grandpa is okay after the end of the game And I hope him and Quella stay in touch as friends! Her backstory made me cry too, goddddd She’s been diagnosed with cancer and has anywhere between three and seven months to live, because she was too poor to afford treatment until it was already too late. And she’s just so positive and okay with it?? Everyone else are the only ones crying for her.. She just wants to finish her final novel before she runs out of time, she’s crying more about not having enough inspiration for this. She just wants to be remembered, she knows she cant change her own death and this is the only thing she CAN change... I want Darryl to be her friend and help beta read her novel aaaa And dear god can everyone please be okay and stick together and GOD why can’t protagonist stay T_T I want you all to be safe when I’m gone, my friends. God I get to know them so closely yet never be able to really even talk to them, they’ll just remember me as someone they talked to only once before I died... And DEAR GOD let me rescue Paulo please!!!! everyone be safe please I don’t want to be able to hug Paulo and stay with him forever There is no way this can happen unless the worst possible thing happened I have to say goodbye okay i HAVE TO SAVE EVERYONE if all goes well I’ll never see any of you in person, okay? just let me be a shadow on this boat and pass away with no regrets knowing all of you will live a lot longer than me THIS GAME GETS ME SO EMOTIONALLLLL

‘Rugrats’ Characters Ranked By Betchiness

For this weeks TBT, were going to take a look into the lives of the most influential baby friend group of the ’90s. Im talking, of course, about the Rugrats and, most importantly, how betchy or not betchy each Rugrat is. Is it polite to rank toddlers who have not yet learned to speak based on arbitrary social categories? Probs not. Is it fun? Fucking duh.

1. Cynthia

Heres what we know about Cynthia: 1) Shes a really cool dancer, 2) Shes got cool moves (as long as you move her arms and legs), 3) Shes movin out on the floor, 4) Shes ready to break some eggs (make an omelette Cynthia!) How do we know all this? We know it from her workout tape, which I am shocked has not been sampled by Avicii or Kanye or someone yet (dont listen unless you want this song stuck in your head all day).

youtube

Cynthias resting bitch face is on point, and she manages to look great in her belted orange dress despite the fact that she is missing of her hair. Cynthia didnt say or do shit for all 9 seasons of, yet she is still one of the shows most memorable characters, and it is her ability to do no work and remain popular that has earned her the number one slot.

2. Susie Carmichael

Susie Carmichael is cool AF. Did Susie need to appear in every episode? No. Susie had other shit to do. Shell check in every once in awhile to see what the babies are up to, teach them about Kwanzaa and generally let them know whats good, before going back next door to hang with her real friends. Whenever she does come over, the babies flip out because theyre like, obsessed with her (everyone is). Shes also the only person who has absolutely no time for Angelicas bullshit, probably because Susie has better hair, a better outfit, and wears a cool red bangle, which is more than Angelica could ever hope to have. Susie is three, which makes her older and wiser than most of the babies and probably accounts for the sheer lack of fucks she has to give. Did Susie get her ass lost in the woods when Dil was born? Fuck no, she was chilling in Paris getting turnt up with her older sister! Did Susie almost die with the Rugrats in EuroReptarland? No bitch, I just told you shes already been to Paris! Susie Carmichael always comes correct, and thats what earned her the number two spot.

3. Tommy Pickles

Tommy Pickles is the star of the show, which virtually guarantees him betchiness. Tommy also has the whole dressing like a slut thing down and spends all nine seasons of wearing nothing but a crop top and booty shorts. His outfit never stops him from leading his friend group on adventures, and you know once he can talk and operate a phone hed be the person managing the group chat, suggesting what clubs and parties to go to, making sure everyone is getting the free shots they deserve, and seeing you into your Uber at the end of the night. The thing holding Tommy back from the top spot is that hes too fucking nice. Hell let any baby with shit in their diaper come hang with him (cough CHUCKIE cough), and that means his friend group is riddled with duds (HI CHUCKIE). Be a little more discerning about your friend group, Thomas, and maybe well see you up at the top with Cynthia.

4. Angelica Pickles

We cant talk about Cynthia without getting to her BFF and designated Rugrat BSCB, Angelica Pickles. Angelica spent most of torturing the dumb babies (who were really only like a year younger than her) and making them miserable, yet still somehow being invited to all the group hangs, play dates, and brunches. Angelica spends a lot of time telling everyoneincluding the adultshow beautiful she is and is absolutely desperate for attention, probably because her rich AF parents never pay attention to her. Shes your friend who cries and starts shit at the club anytime she feels like shes not the hottest girl there (and she frequently is notthanks Cynthia!) Also girl, lay off the cookies.

5. Charlotte Pickles

Charlotte Pickles is Angelicas mom who is literally always on her phone. Like, always. Even in a time before cellphones could fit in your pocket, Charlotte is always on the phone with her assistant Jonathan (Cheban? We dont know) and ignores basically every member of her family to do so. When phones dont work, Charlotte straight up makes her husbands brother carry a fax machine around so she doesnt miss any important texts. Charlotte alternates between a power suit and workout gear, always accompanied by an Ariana Grande level high ponytail. In , Charlotte displays clear signs of some seriously botched cosmetic surgery, which is what has dropped her down to slot #5. Never try to cut corners on botox, Charlotte! Itll always go wrong. Honestly, Jonathan should have told you that.

6. Grandpa Lou

Grandpa Lou is another character who gives absolutely zero fucks and is down to hang. Much like Corinne, Lou loves naps and often falls asleep halfway through finishing his stories. Despite his old age, Lou is still a fuckboy, and is often seen hitting on women and generally trying to find ways to get laid. If had taken place in 2017, Lou would have definitely had a Tinder and that Tinder definitely would have had a picture of him from 20+ years earlier. Lou is eventually successful in finding a new wife, Lulu, who he moves in with pretty fast after they start hooking up (risky choice, Lou!) Outside of his strangely active love life, Lou also has many frenemies, including his own cousin Miriam; his bowling rival, Billy Strike Maxwell; and some other wrestling guy named Conan McNulty. This proves that when push comes to shove, Lou is just not very popular and kind of an old perv. Sixth place for you, Lou.

7. Phil And Lil Deville

Okay Im sorry, but Phil and Lil are fucking gross. Their diet is a mess, always eating fucking worms and mud and shit. Do you know how many calories are in a ball of worms, kids? Do you? Seriously. There is a episode where Phil and Lil drink straight-up toilet water. What the fuck is that? Is that something babies do? Phil and Lil also have no creativity when it comes to fashion, and instead just dress alike every damn day in greena color that is flattering on exactly 0 people. Their mom is a hardcore feminist, which is cool, but maybe the twins have been empowered to do a little bit too much. Like sure, Lil can do whatever she wants with her life, but maybe eating a giant pile of shit should not be one of those things? Idk. Seventh place.

8. Stu Pickles

Good Lord is Stu Pickles a sad man. Seriously. You have a beautiful house, two healthy babies, a cool Jewish wife who has managed to maintain her pre-baby body, and youre still fucking complaining! Look around, asshole! You have all this shit despite the fact that your dumb ass hasnt invented one successful toy. In fact, you havent even invented one toy that didnt explode and almost kill your entire family. You are literally #blessed but youre too blind to see it! The only thing keeping you from the bottom slot is this meme which, in the current political climate, is legit all of our lives right now:

9. Chuckie Finster

No. Just no. Im sorry, but again, its gonna be a hard pass on Chuckie. Here are all the things Chuckie would have to improve if he ever even wanted to hope to be betchy. 1) His voice, which is terrible. Do you have a cold, Chuckie? Go to the damn doctor. Its the ’90s. Hillary Clinton has passed the State Childrens Health Insurance Plan. You can go to the doctor. Go. 2) Grow. A. Pair. Dude. You know when Chuckie gets older hes gonna be your friend who calls the cops on his own party for getting out of hand. Hes gonna be that guy who side eyes you for doing molly at Coachella, making weird comments under his breath about how you never know whats in that stuff and generally bringing bad vibes despite the fact that Beyonc is literally pregnant and dancing in front of you. 3) The hair is a problem. Comb it. Dye it. Do something. Its a problem. 4) Tie your fucking shoes, dude. 9th place.

10. Chas Finster

There was no character on television from 1991-2004 that was less betchy than Chas Finster. He has all of Chuckies problems, but he is a fucking adult which means he has literally no excuse for being such a narc. Chas seems to be suffering from whatever health problems are affecting his son, and despite being a bureaucrat, apparently has no ability to get his ass to a doctor either. Like many sad old nerds, Chas must travel to a foreign country to find a wife, eventually convincing a way-too-hot-for-him Japanese woman to fly to America and be his Melania. Chas also has a double-Hitler mustache, which is 100% unacceptable, no matter what decade you live in. Sorry, Chas. Last place.
