He’s so grumpy, I love him

Inspired by In Search of a Hollow Tree by Dreamitbeit

Summary:

“Cd’s ood?” Thomas sounds out, frowning and bright with interest and asking questions as always.

Minho follows his line of sight up to the top of the building. “W.C.K.D is good.” When Thomas turns to frown at him, puzzled, Minho nods up at the lettering. “They were some crazy last ditch attempt from the governments to restore order. Had some big plan to find a cure for the Flare or whatever.”

Thomas lets out a disbelieving laugh. “A cure? To the Flare? What, were they crazy?”

Newt snorts and continues to dig through the small pile of debris with the practice of a scavenger, looking for anything they could use or barter or trade. “That’s the most likely scenario.”

(Or; Thomas is looking for his family. Two mysterious boys named Minho and Newt find him instead.)

I can confirm: Maze Runner Death Cure is just as soul destroying the second time you watch it.

Had to direct my other half to my fix-it fic so he could feel better 🤣

i love how everyone collectively decided to ignore newt's appearance in the books and the fact that the book version doesn't look like thomas brodie-sangster AT ALL. the crank palace latam illustrator really said "no no, newt is a cute twink, period" and I respect them for that.

we don't talk about Minho and Alby enough I feel like we should talk about Minho and Alby more

I contribute part of this to the movies re-characterizing Alby (and Minho, now that I think about it), but Alby and Minho in the books are both hot-headed, short-tempered, confidence level 1000, a little bit of a jackass, and yet so despairingly broken and tired (not that they would ever show it) and genuinely care so much for the other Gladers

Just.... Them.

I absolutely love writing Newt Scamander as a dad. Absolute mama bear. Occasionally clueless and entirely ineffective? Sure, yeah, probably. Yet still always aggressively protective, in his own special way.

shiv is a lil too lame for astarion, he's nice often enough (a la red jennies from dragon age) that astarion is still neutral towards him. meanwhile i have high approval from lae'zel bc i'm smart and haven't dared take her anywhere near omeluum.

I just realized that in the movies Teresa died without knowing that the cure would never reach Newt

(discussion of death and brief mention of suicide in the tags)

Consider this a spiritual successor to my Re-Animator Youtubers post, but boy howdy do I love being part of niche ass fandoms that have a surface level audience of cishet guys in their 30s who’s experience with nuance in media starts and ends with knowing Raleigh wasn’t really the main character of pacrim. I’m fighting for my life in these fucking YouTube comments.

My favourite possibly more niche ones include:

Crowley is Jewish

Aziraphale, despite 100% believing in the existence of god, is an atheist out of spite

Things the GO fandom as a whole have just accepted as canon

Crowley's favorite word is "ngk-"

They kissed in 1941. That's why the vibe was so awkward during the Holy Water scene in 1967.

The fire extinguishers in s2 are all from Crowley because of the bookshop fire in s1

Aziraphale is a huge flirt. Crowley gets flustered easily.

They adopted Jimbriel and Muriel

Crowley steals all the genders but Aziraphale is content with the lack of them

Crowley would go to bars and rant to Hozier, not knowing it was him, then hear his songs on the radio and break down because the lyrics understanded him.

He was also besties with Freddie Mercury

Oscar Wilde was in love with Aziraphale

Gabriel is Kenough

Secrets Of Dum//bledore was SO bad y’all 😭😭

they were right, touching grass DOES help

I think it's interesting how I don't really. Think about my walker til I use it. Like, I hear a lot of people who use their mobility aids constantly talking about how it's part of them, and ig I don't think about it, I don't feel that connection. Then I'm having to use it and it's definitely 100% part of me, and I'm not thinking about it in the way you don't think about your arm ig
