#kinda wish I did this not on aggie

[halloweensqueen-supreme]

my pressing questions after AAA

obviously spoilers:

so can she control her powers? I’m not sure. I think that maybe at the time she killed her og coven with her mom and all that she couldn’t. But I don’t know. As Billy says, she does have feelings. But I can’t tell to what extent in terms of Alice. I think that her mom did show up and possess her, but I can’t tell if she actually tried to kill Alice or not. I think it’s better for Alice’s story at least that Agatha couldn’t control it, and that Alice died protecting someone worthy of protection. And maybe Agatha taking credit for Alice’s death is so that Billy won’t feel so bad about it. Like yes Agatha needs someone to blast her to take their powers, but she also has to want to take their power to some extent. Maybe she knew she didn’t actually want to take Alice’s powers so she just kinda ended up killing her?

also rio felt so different in the last 2 episodes. Like she didn’t really feel like the same character, she went from hi I’m rio and this is my situationship Agatha who I love and care for deeply -also I am kinda death, just like an fyi but no biggie, to I am Death! I I feel nothing! I am so bad but you can’t actually get rid of me cause it’s just how it is! I OWN Agatha! There is no escape and she will be mine forever cause I’m twisted and this clearly is a very toxic (and abusive) relationship! Like before it felt a lot more like she truly cared about Agatha, and that they were pretty equal. She did what she did cause she had to, not cause she wanted to. But now it seems a lot more controlling. Like she was stalking her ex. And it seems so much more like Agatha just wants to be rid of her and Rio is just always there and knows that Agatha can’t escape from her. It just feels so much more like abuse than just a mutually toxic relationship.

and lastly, I just really wish that Agatha actually told Billy what actually happened with Nicky. Like if she didn’t say that the song had no meaning. Or if that flashback we had could’ve actually been her telling Billy what really happened. Ngl I just really want her to 1 get therapy 2 be honest with this boy 3 give him a hug, cause I want her to give him a hug, and 4 I want Billy to make her a sort of artificial body at some point. Like how Wanda just kinda fabricated people. Like she’s still technically dead, she just doesn’t look like a ghost anymore cause ngl I hate her looking like a ghost, like maybe she can only really do the basic people things,l and she’ll still be Kathryn Hahn, but she’ll be solid, cause ghost-y Aggie is weirding me out. Also she can’t give the kid a hug without a body.

but those are my questions/wonders cause I don’t have the time to write all my thoughts but those will come at some point

and pls pls tell me what you think cause no one I know watches Agatha and I need the input on my thoughts

Thoughts about Echoes of the Solstice in no particular order:

- The Nein Heroez SUNK last one shot! For all intents and purposes, Caleb should have teleported them to the bottom of the sea!

- There's two Calebs now... Huh. That would be a HELL of a trick to play on Ludinus one day... Either way, Essek is WINNING!

- CADUCEUS THE WHITE COMING IN CLUTCH! Exploding House into Meteor Swarm into Chain Lightning? GONE! COMPLETELY USELESS! The fight starts when Caduceus Clay says it starts!

- My only regret having Luc here is that we didn't get new Veth art... That said, kid earned his spot!

I hope he has his own party one day... Provided Veth doesn't kill him on the way back!

- Correct me if I'm wrong but the last time they mentioned Luc's age in the Campaign he was 6, right? That's the highest it ever got? If so, he's 13 here. And he's ALREADY growing a mustache! Halflings DO age quicker!

- Are we SURE Trent didn't snitch on Essek already? Like, I'm sure he'd want to get back to torturing Caleb immediately but he DID have a whole day...

- Aggy came in, rolled a 9 a 20 and a 1 and then died, somehow beating Spurt's record by about a minute. Bro had the complete experience in record time!

- Leave it to Travis to wait for the BIGGEST AUDIENCE THEY'VE EVER HAD to have Fjord propose to Jester and FINALLY make Laura Bailey freeze at something she started herself! Props, sir! And thank you for almost guaranteeing the Wedding One-Shot! U'kotoa may be done with you, but Jester still messed with a Hag!

- According to the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, the Blightshore is the home of the Hollow Ones (Laudna's race) so I kinda wished that we had explored it a bit more...

- I desperately NEED an adventuring party made up of next gen CR kids: Luc "Nott the Reckless" Brenatto, Wilhand'ildan "Wax" Shorthalt and his sister Juniper, Gwendolyn De Rolo, Velora "Vix" Vessar, Kiri the Kenku and Clarabelle Clay rolling around Exandria trying to get back to their parents or something...

- I REALLY want the next M9 One-Shot to be at Darktow... I need to see another pirate adventure with these goofballs!

- I wonder how all the other Wizards the Nein know are affected right now... Yuza's almost DEFINITELY going through it!

- Oh, and I LOVE how Matt had the Gelidon mini right there JUST in case he decided to be funny!

October Spooks After-Action Report

I didn't have nearly as much free time as I hoped I would, but I still managed to watch Over the Garden Wall, Coraline, and Paranorman, all for the first time! Here are my thoughts:

Over the Garden Wall: I think I went in maybe just a tad overhyped - it left me wanting a bit more, by the end - but nevertheless, it was pretty fantastic! I totally get why it's a yearly must-watch for some people, the ambiance and sense of unsettling whimsy is pretty much worth the watch on its own, and the VAs do a fantastic job of selling you on the characters right away. It's so...immersive, that when they flashback to the real world you feel like a bucket of ice water has been dumped on your head. I will say, though, having seen The Beast around many times, I did not expect him to sound like that lol.

Coraline: great movie, good story, though I do feel like it only lands half as well as it does due to the art and animation styles. Not to say a 2D or 3D animated version would've been bad, I'm sure that they would've figured something out, but watching it I just got a sense of "this movie lives and dies on the jitter and jank of stop motion". I was kinda surprised by the portrayal of neglect from Coraline's parents. I really loved Other Mother's final form. And Coraline herself is a huge standout, loved her character.

Paranorman: this movie is half pretty funny, and half really sad. I was expecting to be a bit more disturbed by the zombies (I am a notorious zombie hater, death and rot freak me out), but their designs and MO are more comedic than anything else (the only bit that got me was at the very start, when the movie zombie chomps on a victim's head and the sound effect of Norman munching on something sync up, gave me the heebies and the jeebies). Aggie's story kinda messed me up (surprisingly didn't tear up, which I do very easily). I do feel like the supporting cast went from "we reject Norman and his weirdness" to "we defend him in front of the whole town" way too quickly, the movie needed like 10-15 minutes extra there (which I'm sure would've been another year of pain-stakingly posing clay, so I don't hold it against them haha)

I can't quite decide if I liked OTGW or Coraline more. I think the latter, right now, but it changes day by day. Wish I'd gotten to more suggestions, but there's always next year :')

s9 vol 4 thoughts: actually head relatively empty this volume thats not a great thing 😬

I guess first off is I completely forgot what the cliffhanger last volume was so I didn't even know what was gonna happen coming into this volume and tbh I played it like four hours ago at the time of me writing this, I still don't remember.

I do remember deciding my MC was conflicted about Chen after his ex and I just need an excuse for my MC to be messy (I've decided to headcanon drama for her and in my head this is justified in her beach hut clips which, btw, I still miss the beach hut 🥲). more importantly, that's why I had her stay in the bed with Henri, and this resulted in basically nothing. like I know he said he was stepping back, but he's still an option so I was just hoping for a bigger fight from him? By the end of the volume it felt more like he was waiting for Chen and Jude to mess up so he could swoop in. Kinda boring, a little bit of a let down bc I did enjoy the love triangles with him and Melissa and Chen a little bit in volume 1 and we never really got more of it.

Okay the breakfast chat with Hamish was cute. His personality is definitely toned down now that he's an LI, but I'm glad they're keeping some of his personality. It does make him a bit more intriguing than the all in for you and only you and can't think about anything else type characters (Chen/Henri/Jude/Lyle)

The game being three games in one was odd to me? I'm probably just being nitpicky but I'm like no the game would've been either a physical challenge with multiple parts including the balloons, or Mr. and Mrs., or a vote from the islanders (which is not a game), but all three?? Nahh. Nevertheless, it did what it had to do.

No actually it didn't do what it had to do, because for some reason the prize was essentially MC getting three quick separate dates? She doesn't even cook in the kitchen with her date? Like if we're gonna do that might as well just make the challenge an individual one and then MC wins the challenge and then the prize is all the guys have to cook her dinner. And if we really need to remove Finn and Hamish then just have them leave the kitchen once the food is made to go have chats with their partners and then the other offer to stay behind and serve MC.

Oh yeah so Shawn is there. That's alright I guess. I kinda dislike having the old islanders show up as guest hosts? I didn't mind Bella and I like Grace but she still seemed out of place being the host for a date? Like we could've removed her. it's just so random and I think it's just because fusebox is hoping we pay gems to find out where our "favorite" islanders are now. And they can't do S1 but they needed a chef so that's how we get Shawn.

like I said, choosing chaos, so she did kiss Henri and I did feel a little bad for Chen because he saw it and dropped everything he was so shocked oops felt a little bad. But she kissed Chen too so... all good?

and here's where I forget the order of things so forgive me if it seems like I'm all over the place

Melissa seems less aggy and that's nice bc i like her and her sprite and i wish she wasnt just another woman fusebox wants us to hate (a la Luna/Sophie/Emel). her sudden return to Henri is absolutely just because we need her to be with SOMEONE and I wish it was fleshed out just a little bit more. like either make it seem more natural that she's gone back to him and show us her like making an effort to apologize (maybe she just asks the girls for advice and MC has a chance to sabotage if actually she wants him for herself). Or alternatively let one of the girls call her out for how she seems like she's just playing the game. Like Henri is her second choice clearly she just needs to keep him close because Hamish has pied her off for Natasha. Not asking for much, this could be like five lines of dialogue and I'd forgive fusebox if this never came up again after.

Kat, Finn, and Kelly wrapping things up very quickly and OFF SCREEN right before the recoupling was odd and rushed. At least Kat is moving on thank god we can move away from this storyline

Oh crap I remember the cliffhanger from last volume now, it was the cheating thing from Kat and Finn. Boring overused trope. At least they walked away from it realizing they won't work together (or at least Kat did, I'm not so sure about Finn). Pls let that be the end of the storyline 🙏🙏

for those of yall on a wlw route, I am wondering if answering Melissa's question about who MC is more interested in between Kelly and Natasha determines only the hideaway option or also closes one of their routes? like I don't think they'll pull a S6 and if you pick Kelly then Natasha gets dumped, but that's only because it seems like they're going the S8 route of they need to stay because Hamish will be with Natasha and Kelly with Finn (the way that Claudia always goes back to Theo and Bea with Liam/Logan).

Hamish wanting to be better for Natasha is cute actually and I think it makes his character better as an LI because it shows he can change and wants to, especially for the right person. And he's loyal to her (or trying to be? it's unclear, considering how they've also had him making moves on Melissa in previous episodes). But if we say he is, then I could see his route opening up more when Natasha rejects him (maybe in Casa? Maybe before, maybe for MC) so you still have that storyline and it's less snakey, they just have to cope with essentially him having MC as second choice (which I also think we could just change make it a Jake S1 sorta storyline: he has to admit he was afraid before and also wanted to be loyal to his partner and give her a chance hoping it stuck but realizing he cant force it.. maybe that was his problem in s6 too going all in with Grace only to get burned when she stayed with Ozzy. And like I think it could work as long as its not happening at the very last recoupling)

It's a good day to be open to flirting with Finn especially after I didn't couple with him playing S5 and then subsequently never again played S5 because it's S5 and so never coupled with Finn. But I do wonder how boring these episodes must be if you're not. I'm a fan of the slow burn though I just need it to make sense!! Him getting stolen by other girls is fine for now but if it's a boys choice recoupling or MC gets to go first and he's still not an option I'll be upset 😤

Finn and Hamish every day look more and more like good routes and that's fully because they're individual routes. Like say what you want about S5, but at least they didn't merge three to four guys' personality into one. (they're all bad in their own ways.) All things considered, as long as we don't continue to merge routes (like I anticipate Henri/Chen/Jude/Lyle are the same from here on out, minus some details in the dialogue), I dont hate the idea of having a few interchangeable guys for the loyal routes and then some other guys added in with unique routes and personalities. I mean ideal scenario is they're all unique, but I guess I could see people saying for example, they like the look of Finn but wish he was more like Henri's route. So this way you get a little choice if you want Henri's route because you can pick between Chen/Jude/Lyle as well.

Kelly picks Finn and I am curious how this is gonna go because he clearly only sees her as a friend and I don't know how Kelly is gonna react. Like are they gonna make her blow up or she's just gonna be passive aggressive or like hold it all in if/when he eventually rejects her? even though she's an old islander, she's kind of a clean slatebc we saw so little of her in S4.

Why mention the hideaway and then cut to a girls chat lol literally just switch the order.

So I had MC and Chen go to the hideaway and I roll my eyes every time that box shows up. And then oh what do you know there's an argument outside do you think we're gonna have to pay gems to hear about the drama we conveniently weren't there for? 😑

not the shower scene again and Finn rejects me noooo my MC is messy on purpose this time

I think there might be no casa this season? just based on the leaks about islander names and also there's no casa in the irl love island all stars so I guess??

Then someone's getting dumped and I can't remember if it was individual islanders or a couple but doesn't matter, we all know who ghe disposable islanders rn are and it's the two guys you didn't pick and Melissa and Kat. I actually don't know which is more likely to leave. Again, could be couples or individual islanders. i could see them doing the bottom two couples and then the safe guys choose a girl to stay and the safe girls choose a guy to stay, if the game wants a specific storyline for either Kat or Melissa, otherwise they're just gonna merge. If for some reason you don't get a choice, I could see them taking away Melissa's partner so she has more of an excuse to drive apart Hamish and Natasha since it seems like that storyline isn't finished (versus Kat and Finn may be done soon). And for similar reason I could see Kat being finished and she gives one last blessing to Finn and Kelly's relationship. Unless they're dragging out her story longer.

in conclusion, I've already committed to playing this season if not for the story, then to see what Stefan looks like, so if you see me liking posts about how this season sucks and someone else didn't finish it don't @ me 😂😂😂

@ask-mister-mystery sent “When was the last time you slept?”  Sleep Deprivation Starters

"Mmm.." Aggie narrows her eyes, thinking. She wants to lie, and say that she'd slept the previous night, but Stan was better than most at clocking a lie from her. Olive (Who had called Stan to perform a sort of "sleep Intervention" for her grandmother) and her son could be fooled, but the guy who literally taught her how to lie? No chance.

She'd managed a few short naps the last few days, likely the result of her body simply being unable to stay awake. The truth is, she's been awake basically non stop since Sunday, and it was currently Thursday. The truth will probably get her lectured or ushered to bed (where she did not wish to be). But a lie would probably be worse, she really doesn't like to lie to him.

"Sunday." She admits, yawning. "Sunday night when I went to bed, I got about three hours and then," She waves her hand casually, "Just kinda got away from me. You know how it is." It is very not normal to go so long without proper sleep, but for a witch, it's not... That unheard of. It certainly wasn't for her, with how intense her dreams can be. Lately her dreams were more upsetting and violent than usual, as they usually got worse as the days grew shorter and colder. She was used to it, but she wasn't used to other people having to deal with it.

"I'm fine." She adds, a likely fruitless attempt to assure him. She certainly doesn't look fine as she stifles another yawn behind her hand.

thoughts on today’s volume!

i kissed claudia, and i kissed her again in the diamond scene (she also convinces the guys to give you first place, which is kinda pointless if you want her or theo, but whatever) theo, you got a big storm coming 💅🏽

of course i’m grafting on jin too, since you can only pick him/jack/oakley at the recoupling (he got jealous that i chose claudia as my extra kiss , whoops)

i didn’t even want to comment on luna’s grand gesture because the whole thing just gave me second hand embarrassment . she pulled some prank...where she threw oakley’s clothes out ? i guess ? the islanders were too stunned to speak

speaking of clothes, jin’s casual fit is so UGLY 😭 i get that there's only so much you can do with masculine clothing , but sir , you are a model ...an underwear model, but a model nonetheless. oakley’s outfit looks fantastic though . i’m glad they finally did him right

more expository diamond scenes (FB, stop paywalling your incoherent backstories...) summary for the broke girlies: when OG Girl Rachel got dumped, she went off on the girlies . none of their couples are secure ! in fact, she kissed one of the guys ! she didn’t reveal who though lmao

i definitely think rachel kissed theo, that’s why he’s being annoying af overcompensating, with the whole “if MC picks me i’ll leave the villa with you 😩” shenanigans before the recoupling…isn't he supposed to be a player? regardless, i wish this was a game with actual branching, because i have not shown one singular crumb of interest in this man

picked jin, i was nice to luna the whole time, everything was good…until jack and sophie did a “s6 pied off roberto/og LI” level of 180 . Like what ??? 😭 i was just gonna ignore them , especially since the other islanders actually defended us for once (s7 cast could never) but i paid for the diamond scene, why not. sophie ended up apologising , blah blah blah. i just hope the aggy couple doesn’t continue to harass us

aggie, Agnes. Baby girl!!!

FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?

BIRTHDAY CAKE - when is their birthday? do they like celebrating it?

HEAR-NO-EVIL - what is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone?

SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?

BABY BOTTLE - what are their thoughts on children?

PAPERCLIP - a random fact

SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

SPARKLING HEART - are they a subtle or a showy lover?

Agnes my beloved

Family- well ya know </3 parents were abusive and neglectful to both her and to her brother Billy, though he took the brunt of it. Grew up being simultaneously a nuisance that should be seen and not heard while also being the example of a golden child who Billy should look up to. Of course that led to even more abuse from Billy, who was extremely jealous of her getting to live in the main part of the house have her birthdays celebrated, and all in all got physically more cared for. And for a period of time after she was born she was very doted over. Billy wanted to see the baby. They didn't let him. In a way he loved her I think, but he quickly grew jealous of her when he noticed how much more love and care she was getting. And it all culminated in him getting revenge on her by ripping her eye out one night. They were both very small children. But that made the animosity his parents had towards Billy even stronger, and Agnes was made out to be a perfect child and victim by them. Thoug that didn't stop them from failing her too though.

She never did get why Billy choose to keep her alive after he killed their parents. Was it out a need for control, revenge or maybe even some twisted form of love she doesn't know. She misses her parents sometimes. When the killings were very fresh she borderline sanctified them. But after she headed off to college she became dissillussioned with that kind of idea of them, and started reavaluating her relationship with her family. Thoughs on them are something that haunt her. At least Lily is family now.

Birthday cake- I think she would have a summer birthday to be honest. June, maybe July. Times when family and friends would come over and celebrate in the garden. Times when Billy could be let out of the attic to attend it. She always ended up with bruises. She doesn't like celebrating them.

Hear no evil- Not anything specific. Just hearing his voice again. Him laughing, screaming, going on and on with his insane ramblings. Whether over the phone or in real life, things wouldn't end good. For both Billy and for her too.

Seedling- It's hard for her to remember anything good from that time, or anything at all in fact. Most of it's forgotten about, or better yet, repressed. The things she remembers are so far removed and vauge she sometimes wonders if that really happened to her of if she dreamed it. However, the image of her dolls heads and limbs and torsos floating in a big tub out in the yard stayed with her. Billy told her she's next. It must've been her birthday.

Baby bottle- she is very awkward around small children as she finds them unpredictable. A part of her is afraid of hurting them as well. She kinda wants to have one one day but also kinda doesn't. On some days she has trouble taking care of herself, but is miles more functional than her brother. Though, she thinks about adopting a teenager sometimes.

Paperclip- Her foster family was kind to her, but sometimes she thinks she was too much of a handful for them.

Shooting star- She was planning to run away from home for months before finally snapped. She wishes she would have stopped being careful for once in her life. She was constantly postponing the day she left until it was too late. She wishes she wasn't such a coward.

Sparkling heart- very very subtle and repressed. Lily had to make the first step on almost anything lmao. But she loves that in her partner. So carefree and confident. She told her once she wishes she was more like her. Lily told her they compliment each other nicely the way they are.

[nerdlvr]

aggy, i sent another ask, but this just came to my mind, so I hope you don't mind me asking: did being an nctzen ever made you realize a kink you had or made you "gain" another one or even made you want one more?

bc me, for example, i have a "group kink" type of thing (like a reverse harem ???) that gets truly worse being their fan, bc every unit looks so good that i just start thinking "i can and will take all of them" (this obviously excludes wish bc the only way i'll take them is under my loving care to go get ice cream and walk on the park like doyoung did to the dreamies in pre-debut era)

so feel free to answer or not if you don't feel comfortable. gtg! kisses, pretty 🩷

i'm not too sure actually 😭 i feel like i've always kinda been sexually aware so i just knew a bunch of everything and already knew what i was kinda into...

but i think that with time i started to get more into like size kink stuff specifically with like jeno and jisung (i'm 4'11 so like... :D) i also like that inexperienced virgin guy type stuff.... this ones mainly cause i feel like they're all just hot losers who get no pussy,,

like you can tell me they have girlfriend but i just can't process the fact that they could be having sex with the way they act... also like when does mark find time to get pussy if that mf is in the studio 25/8 like....

OH GODDD THOSE LAST TWO EPISODES??

I can’t even…omg

Spoilers below the cut, but TLDR: if you’ve been on the fence about this show and were at all interested in Agatha/Wanda/the magic of it all in Wandavision, I think it’s very much worth your time! I have one complaint, but I enjoyed it, and imo the story was overall well-told.

I gotta be honest, I expected the show to end 32-ish minutes into Episode 8, when Rio told Billy he could go and Billy drove off into the sunset. When it kept going…I wasn’t so sure it would end well, and I sorta braced myself for another disappointing show finale.

But having watched the rest of Episode 8 and all of Episode 9…I think it was fairly well done! I’m a bit iffy on Ghost Agatha, but that does make sense—Rio’s always granted her exceptions, of course she’d get one last loophole even in death. It does kinda take the bite out of her death scene a bit, but…well, it’s Agatha.

I do also get people being upset that the focus shifted so abruptly to focus on Billy. Like...yeah, I'll give you that, that was strange. I still enjoyed what we got of them, but I didn't like that we were thrown into his POV from the latter half of Episode 8 onwards. The show is Agatha's, not his—they should've continued showing his perspective from Agatha's POV (him having a flashback to himself back in Episode 6 was fine, since that was establishing him, but...here? Agatha should've been the focal point in these last two episodes, not Billy (and Agatha going with Billy to find Tommy seemed an odd choice too). It didn't ruin the story too much, but it was still a bit jarring, and I'm not sure why they did that.

I've also seen people say that the final two episodes devalued/downplayed Agathario which...no? If anything, they highlighted Agathario's tragedy. We didn't get to see their origins, sure, and I would've liked to see that, but...Nicholas is the referenced fracture point, and that's what we were shown 🤷‍♀️ I don't see much of an issue here (though I do wish we'd seen the explosive aftermath/confrontation/breakup). I think people who were upset by Agathario's portrayal fanonized them a bit too much lol their dynamic was pretty in line with how they've always been (Rio was always fond of Agatha, but was hardly super open with it—she flirted with Agatha, sure, but she also mocked Agatha too. That's just part of their dynamic—sweetness and spice in the same package. Flirting and snarking)

Also “I didn’t sacrifice myself for you” okay Aggie, whatever you need to tell yourself ✋ we all know you’ve basically adopted Billy as a second son. You basically said that when you told him he reminds you of Nicholas

So yeah! I think this might be my favorite MCU project. Holds a special place in my heart 💞 which is shocking, since I didn’t expect much from this show. It’s been a fun 2 months, and I’m excited to see what those two get up to next…and how their journey to find Tommy goes 👀

[adrianasunderworld]

Huh interesting I sympathized more with the mom in halloween town then the grandma I liked both characters but I did understand and sympathize more with the mom 

I only rewatched the first one, So I don't remember if she brings up why she was so adamant about the kids being normal in the other movies. But as far as the first movie goes, we don't really have a reason for the mom to be how she is. We know she fell in love with a human man, we know she chose to live in the human world, and chose to stop using magic, and to raise her kids as humans. But beyond that we aren't really given a reason as to why she's so strict about anything and everything surrounding Halloween. It's almost like she hates magic and we aren't given a reason why, beyond her husband was mortal so she wants her kids to be mortal. I feel like in any other story like this we would be given at least a reason. Like maybe she had a terrible relationship with her mom and she doesn't want her kids to suffer like she did learning magic. Or that there's something inherently dangerous about witchcraft and Halloweentown the mom wanted to distance herself from. Aside from the villain of the movie, there isn't really anything wrong or super dangerous about Halloweentown, at least not anymore dangerous than any normal town would be. So why is she so against anything and everything Halloween to the point her kids aren't even allowed to trick or treat? It feels kinda irrational to me? The only thing I can think of is that maybe grandma Aggie didn't approve and that strained their relationship to that extreme? But that's a guess on my part.

Though to be fair, as much as I like grandma Aggie, I get the mom getting frustrated with her. I'm sure they've had multiple arguments about who is right and what's best for Marnie and her siblings. But also, the only time she gets to see her grandkids is a couple hours out of the year, and the most she does is bring candy and costumes. Maybe I'd feel more bad if she was at their house every week undermining the mom, causing trouble with magic,and deliberately telling the kids their witches against her daughters wishes. But she has to put up with her mom being the fun grandma and dropping hints for a couple hours before she has to leave for a year.

If you were to describe Heimdall with just one word it would aggy lmfao

No really, he makes you want to kick both his ass and those grills in his teeth all the way to the Light of Alfheim

But regardless you fell for him because Reasons™

When you reflect upon why and how you did so, you can’t really come up with a definitive singular answer

Maybe it's because he treats you differently especially when it comes to teasing 

It’s more playful than brutal like he is with others and it gives you boy who pulled your hair back in kindergarten cause he secretly likes you vibes

Whenever Heimdall does tease you, his body language is different as well

Less condensing and try me and more goading and trying to vy for your attention kinda thing

That and he smiles relentless while he does it, like a genuine heartwarming smile not I’ll eat your kids and your pets smile

Just imagine him walking backwards slowly on his heels while swinging his arms and bringing them forward occasionally to make a soft clapping sound

He’s poking fun at you tripping earlier and thinking that nobody saw you when he absolutely did

Your comeback is to ask him why he was staring at you in the first place

He replies with “I just liked what I saw.”

You jab back with "If I only liked what I see now back."

That’s another reason why he really likes you, you always have a comeback to his remarks when most don’t

You really don’t take his comments lying down and actively engage in fun spirited banter with him whether you're starting or finishing it

While others shy away from it and avoid that man like the PLAGUE

To be fair his demeanor and vibe with you is MUCH less hostile with others so nobody wanting to be around him is very understandable lmao

Even then when there’s moments were Heimdall steps outta line (and there are), you don’t hesitate to push back and check him

He NEEDS a s/o who can do that cause otherwise Heimdall won’t read, understand, or internalize boundaries and will eventually continue to keep going

Those moments where you check him are usually answered by long periods of silence from Heimdall or curt nods, he knows your limits, and chooses to respect them

Partly because you do the same with him, which for you is mainly out of respect, and cause you like him

On another note, Gulltoppr is y’all’s child I said what I said

You were deathly scared of them at first cause who the hell smuggled a whole ThunderCat into Asgard hELLO???

But after awhile you warmed up to the battle cat since Gulltoppr can see just how much Heimdall cares for you and if you’re good enough for Heimdall, you’re good enough for them

Heimdall often scolds you for feeding Gulltoppr apples and cheese a lot but you also scold Heimdall for not giving enough treats to them cause how else do you remind them that they’re doing a good job protecting Asgard???

When he’s not looking you like to give Gulltoppr head pats and belly rubs cause they do NOT get enough of those in their life

You’ve managed to persuade Heimdall to snuggle with you and Gulltoppr while he reads on his breaks and you bet that there’s even more cheese and apples involved in that

Now onto some stuff that’s more Black!Reader specific-

This man is a bit OBSESSED with your hair don’t @ me !!!

If your hair is longer, especially long enough to be in box braids or have extensions in, he will be in total and complete awe at them

Catch him staring at your hair whenever you’re in the Asgardian mess hall together

At some point the staring gets so frequent that you sorta call him out on it and he’ll just...freeze

Later on when you two are more alone he’ll go “So...how does THAT work?” and motion towards your head

Sure Heimdall braids his own hair from time to time but his braids are different in many ways

Speaking of Heimdall and braids, you bet your ass you braid his hair stop playin !!!

You’re kind of a whizz at it and he doesn’t let ANYONE touch his scalp so you’re fumbling with a gold mine here

Heimdall only trusts you to mess around with his golden locs and will only really allow you to see him with his hair down OR messy

Speaking of hair down, he’s down for you to do or help him in his hair care routine lmao

Washing it, brushing it, putting some kind of good smelling product in it, you name it

Also if you leave your hair care products just lying around he WILL sniff and try them out

SO if you’ve got some expensive stuff that’s really for your hair type usage only, you better hide it better next time

For revenge you can put his hair in cornrows and then watch it fall out the next day sksksk

Now back to your hair, even if you hair is short or you use wigs, he will still be intrigued by it

Imagine Heimdall being dumbfounded at your waves like WHy is the ocean on your head and HOw?

He will return the hair care time favour and learn how to take care of your hair if you wish

Will steal your bonnets, durags, and head scarves BEWARE

He claims that it was just “lying around” and that he needs to protect his hair too <3

You roll your eyes and just make sure to order more protective hair fabric for the both of you

If you ask him if he has any design requests, anything with gold ornate on it will suffice (similar to his outfit that he wears)

That way y’all can tell your stuff from one another’s and he can color coordinate with his own natural hair color

Also he WILL throw at you and or remind you to put on a bonnet, durag, or head scarf if you aren’t wearing one before you go to bed

Something else that he admires about you is definitely how different colors of clothing make your skin tone stand out

Heimdall always stands out honestly due to being albino and having gold teeth like even for an Aesir God

It admittedly is different and a bit unfamiliar for him to see someone with darker skin and textured hair

Though don’t get him wrong, he welcomes it with open arms

Especially whenever the two of you are in bed together, cuddling, and just lying there together

He likes to have the windows open and have you on whatever side of the bed is facing that particular window

Cause it means that when he wakes up before the sun rises, he gets to watch the sun come up, and bounce light off of your melanin <3

He will absodoodley lay with you in bed all day (for as long as he can get away with it) while he brushes his hands against certain parts of your skin that are being lit up by the sun

He’ll only get up to get you some food or shower, basically basic needs until he has no choice but to get up cause he’s The Watcher of Asgard™ n all that

You know that his love for you has to run DEEP if he’s slacking off on watching Asgard cause he’s too busy giving you the attention that he deserves

And his love does indeed run deeper than a Jotunn’s ass crack for you truly if Odin doesn’t really approve of his relationship with you and he still actively decides to continue it anyways knowing this

Regardless of what other people think, he knows where his love lies, with him every morning and night, in front of sunny windows while he caresses and admires them

LITG S5 — Volume II E03 Script

If there are any glaring mistakes please let me know*

!Spoilers Ahead!

*I know the Dana & Kat changing scene is wonky but it wasn't worth the effort to make it flow well for a scene that's only there to encourage you to spend gems on outfits.

Ex in the Rear View

Something stands in the way of a budding new romance.

——————————————————————————————

NARRATOR: Something is brewing. Is it coffee? Is it one of Finn’s craft IPAs? Nope, it’s drama with a capital D.

NARRATOR: Kat’s storming towards [MC]. This can only mean one thing!

NARRATOR: A handshake and a mutual appreciation of opposing opinions.

You and Alfie are on the bean bags as Kat storms across the garden towards you!

KAT: I need a chat with you, now!

You try to leave, to give Alfie and Kat their space.

KAT: With both of you!

You freeze.

ALFIE: You don't need to get [MC] involved.

KAT: From my view, she looked VERY involved with you, babe.

MC: Oh so you're spying on me now?

KAT: The whole villa just saw you two.

ALFIE: It wasn't a big deal. It was just some cheeky flirting.

KAT: Wise up, hun. She's after you.

MC: Excuse me?!

KAT: Cracking on with someone else's guy?

KAT: Whatever happened to girl-code?

CHOICE

①. I’ll flirt with who I want

②. Sorry, you're right

③. I can flash some claws of my own, Kat

①.

MC: If I want to flirt with Alfie, I will.

You seductively place your hand on Alfie’s arm

MC: Alfie doesn’t seem to mind.

MC: Do you, Alife?

KAT: You’re messing with his head.

MC: Chill, Kat. Maybe it’s just flirting.

②.

MC: You're right. I'm sorry.

MC: You and Alfie are in a couple, and I should have respected that.

MC: I get that what we did could have seemed over the line from your point of view.

③. 

MC: If you want to go there, Kat, I’ll go there.

MC: And you don't give a crap about girl-code.

MC: You're acting all aggy about me having a chat with Alfie.

MC: But everyone knows you'd bin him, as soon as, for a bit of Finn.

—

KAT: You're a sneak!

MC: Are you serious?

MC: In the couples quiz, you said we all need to get to know each other!

{If kissed Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean kissing him for everyone to see!

{If smiled at Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean flirting with him for everyone to see!

{If hugged Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean hugging him for everyone to see!

Alfie slides between you and Kat.

ALFIE: It's calm, it's calm.

ALFIE: Kat, I owe you an explanation. Can we have a chat?

KAT: To be continued then.

ALFIE: Come on, Kat. Let's have a private chat. We'll sort this between us.

Kat reluctantly allows Alfie to escort her to the swing. You exhale. Dana hurries over to you.

DANA: Oh my days of the week! That chat was A LOT.

DANA: Do you think Kat will let it go now she's said her piece?

CHOICE

①. Yeah, it’ll be chill

②. I’m worried she won’t

③. No, but bring it on

①.

MC: I think it’ll blow over.

MC: She’s let it out. I bet she calms down now.

②.

MC: I doubt she’ll drop it, but I wish she would!

MC: Not everyone wants a lot of drama.

③.

MC: No way is she over this. But, bring it on, Kat!

MC: If she’s out to cause drama, I won’t back down.

—

DANA: She was the one out of line.

{If flirt who I want}

MC: Exactly! I’m entitled to flirt.

{If said sorry}

MC: Even so, I apologised. That’s all I can do.

{If flash claws}

MC: Exactly! And I don’t put up with that.

You see Kat glaring at you from across the garden.

——————————————————————————————

The afternoon sun is hot and heavy. You're on the day beds with Eddie and Finn.

EDDIE: That confrontation with you and Kat was intense!

FINN: Kat was breathing fire, so she was.

He flaps his arms and cries like a dragon. You laugh.

FINN: Day one and the drama is here!

EDDIE: [MC], how are you feeling after that?

CHOICE

①. Whatever. I'm not rattled

②. I feel bad. I hate drama

③. I'm feeling good. No regrets

①.

MC: I’m not bothered.

MC: Kat's all bark, no bite.

MC: She can say what she wants. I’m not gonna let it bother me.

②.

MC: Ugh. I feel kinda bad.

FINN: Why? Kat was the one kicking off.

MC: Yeah, but I hate drama.

MC: I hope this blows over fast.

③.

MC: I’m great! I know I did nothing wrong.

MC: It’s not against the rules to flirt in the villa.

MC: So what if Alfie and I were flirting in front of everyone?

MC: Would she rather we did it behind her back?

FINN: You're a little drama-magnet, aren't you?

MC: Hey! Maybe I think it's healthy to be open and upfront.

MC: If someone has a problem with me, I want to know.

—

MC: Hey! Maybe I think it's healthy to be open and upfront.

MC: If someone has a problem with me, I want to know.

Finn chuckles.

FINN: No way Kat's gonna let this go.

FINN: I can hear the fireworks already.

He cups his ear and pretends to listen.

EDDIE: Don't stoke the flames, bro.

FINN: Talking of stoking flames…

{If don't remember date E02}

FINN: [MC], you said in the quiz you didn't remember that hot air balloon Suresh took you on.

FINN: Loved seeing you winding him up.

MC: Are you stirring the pot, Finn?

Finn holds up his hands, innocently. But he's smiling.

MC: I see you smiling, Finn.

FINN: A bit of drama keeps life interesting.

{If love adventure dates E02}

FINN: I think you get it, [MC]. You said in the quiz, you're into adventurous dates.

MC: Dates, yeah. Don't know if that always applies to life in general.

EDDIE: There's a difference between adventure and drama.

EDDIE: Gotta keep it chill, keep it calm.

{If prefer chilled dates E02}

EDDIE: [MC], you said in the quiz that you like chilled dates.

EDDIE: Chill is my goal in dates and life.

FINN: Eddie, I can't picture you having a barney.

EDDIE: That's because you've never seen me after losing a rugby match.

They laugh.

MC: Boys and sport.

You roll your eyes.

FINN: Don't hate on sport.

FINN: Sport is one of the ways we let out our feelings.

He and Finn tackle each other in a bear hug.

You laugh. Finn pulls you into the bear hug and the three of you roll on the day bed, laughing loudly.

This draws the watchful eyes of Suresh. You notice him hanging about by the pool, pretending to not be looking in your direction.

FINN: Hey, [MC]!

Your attention is drawn back to Finn and Eddie. Finn stands on the day bed, flexing in ridiculous poses.

Eddie bench-presses pillows. He pretends to strain under their ‘weight'.

EDDIE: This doing it for you, [MC]?

You laugh, entertained by the boys' shenanigans.

FINN: Fancy a private chat with one of us manly specimens?

{If get to know the boys E02}

MC: Finn, we had a private chat on the terrace earlier.

FINN: But there’s so much more Finn to get to know.

{If turn the guys down E02}

FINN: You turned down my offer of a private chat earlier.

FINN: Don’t tell me you’re gonna pie me off again?

FINN: I promise Eddie won't cry when you pick me.

Eddie playfully jabs Finn in the ribs.

EDDIE: As if she'd pick a cocky bro like you.

You laugh but it’s interrupted by Kat calling across the garden from the kitchen.

KAT: Finn? Can you help me move this chair? I need your muscles.

Kat shoots you a mischievous look as Finn stands up.

FINN: I must go where I’m needed.

FINN: Lucky break for you, Eddie boy.

Finn grins and swaggers off to the kitchen to help Kat. You and Eddie are left on the day beds.

EDDIE: The mosquitos are out. I’ve got this great lemongrass oil that you rub on your skin to keep them away.

EDDIE: Shall we go upstairs and get it? I can help you rub it in.

CHOICE

①. Yes, please!

②. Nah, I’m good as is

①.

MC: I’d love that, thanks.

MC: You can do my back for me.

EDDIE: My pleasure.

EDDIE: Lead the way.

②.

MC: I’m happy chilling here and I already put some oil on… But we can chat here.

EDDIE: Wouldn’t you rather get to know each other somewhere we can talk a little more freely?

EDDIE: Away from ol' Hungry Eyes?

He points at Suresh over at the pool. Suresh is still pretending - badly - not to be watching you.

EDDIE: We haven’t had a proper chance to get to know each other yet.

EDDIE: You sure you don’t want to move someplace more private?

CHOICE

❶. You’re right. Let’s go!

❷. Nah, let’s go to the swing seat instead

❶.

MC: To upstairs!

EDDIE: After you.

He gestures for you to lead the way towards the villa.

❷.

MC: I don’t want to go all the way upstairs, but let's move to the swing seat.

MC: We’ll be able to talk more openly there, but it won’t look like we’re sneaking off to do anything too naughty.

MC: Maybe there’s been enough drama already.

—

Just then, you see Suresh approach Alfie and take him off for a private chat. You wonder what Suresh is up to.

{if chat with Eddie privately}—————————————————

You and Eddie recline next to each other on one of the beds.

MC: How are you finding villa life?

EDDIE: This might be my fave bit so far.

He slowly rubs lemongrass oil on the top of your back.

MC: Of the villa or of my back?

EDDIE: Both.

EDDIE: Thanks for having this chat with me.

MC: Of course. I want to get to know you better.

EDDIE: I’m an open book. Read me!

MC: OK, then. Tell me, in relationships, are you a player or a stayer?

EDDIE: Stayer, a million percent. I was with my last girlfriend for 3 years.

MC: And you never cheated?

EDDIE: I've never, ever cheated! That's not who I am.

MC: A good guy, huh?

EDDIE: I try to be. I love animals. I'm close with my family.

MC: So you're saying you're a catch?

EDDIE: Hopefully you think I’m boyfriend material?

CHOICE

①. You’re a dreamboat

②. Not in my opinion

③. I'm not sure yet

①.

MC: Sounds like you're a dream guy.

EDDIE: Are you saying I'm YOUR dream guy?

MC: Maybe. Although it’s still early days.

EDDIE: True, but you’re seeming pretty dreamy yourself so far.

��.

MC: Maybe I look for something else in a boyfriend?

Eddie pretends to have been stabbed in the heart.

EDDIE: No! You're ruining me.

MC: You'll get over it.

③.

MC: I can't tell yet.

MC: Like you say, this is only our first proper chat.

EDDIE: You'll just have to get to know me more then, won't you?

—

EDDIE: Whatever I am, at least I'm not like Suresh.

MC: Meaning?

EDDIE: He's a cheater. And he walks around the villa all cocky. Not my vibe.

CHOICE

①. Hey, don't slag off Suresh

②. You’re right about Suresh!

③. Let's change the topic

①.

MC: You don't know Suresh well enough to talk bad about him.

EDDIE: I know I don't trust a cheater.

MC: People are complicated.

EDDIE: Treating people right seems pretty simple to me.

②.

MC: You're so right. Suresh is way too cocky.

MC: He always was.

EDDIE: I can't picture you with someone like him.

③.

MC: Ugh, let's not talk about Suresh.

MC: I can't seem to get away from him in this villa.

EDDIE: Sorry! We defo don't have to talk about him.

MC: Thanks!

—

EDDIE: Let’s talk about something much more fun: me and you.

MC: You think there’s a potential ‘me and you’?

EDDIE: I have a feeling there could be.

MC: Time to turn the tables. I want to hear what you think of the girls.

EDDIE: You're all stunning, obviously.

EDDIE: You've certainly caught my eye.

CHOICE

①. Flirt back

②. Play it cool

①.

MC: Oh really?

EDDIE: What do you think about that?

MC: I can't imagine nicer eyes to be caught in.

EDDIE: Back at you. I can feel myself melting every time you look at me.

②.

MC: Thought you were cool?

EDDIE: Things heated up when you walked in.

—

Both of your eyes move to the bottle of lemongrass oil.

CHOICE

①. Offer to rub oil into his back

②. Hold back for now

①.

MC: Want me to return the favour?

EDDIE: If you’re happy to, I’m not complaining.

You spray the oil onto his toned back and gently rub it into his shoulders, feeling his muscles tense and relax as you do.

EDDIE: That feels amazing.

You work your way down his smooth back a little, rubbing in circular motions. You notice how the smell of the oil combines with his own fragrance.

He turns and smiles at you, attraction and affection in his eyes.

②.

You return Eddie’s smile but leave it at that, for now.

MC: You're just saying that as I'm sat here.

EDDIE: I'm not. You really have caught my eye.

MC: Who says I want your eyes – or any of you – on me?

EDDIE: I think you might.

—

You can't help smiling. Another boy in this villa is after you.

MC: How are you feeling about Dana? I thought I picked up a vibe between you two.

EDDIE: Maybe I was just trying to make you jealous?

MC: That wouldn’t be very nice of you.

MC: I thought you were Mr Nice Guy?

EDDIE: I am! I was just joking.

EDDIE: Luckily, what I lack in jokes, I make up for in honesty.

He gives you a beaming smile with his perfect teeth and gorgeous, sparkling eyes.

{if chat with Eddie on swing}—————————————————

You and Eddie sit on the swing. The other Islanders are in view but out of earshot.

Eddie plucks a flower from a vine on the wall and sticks it behind your ear.

MC: You're loving this, aren't you?

EDDIE: Being here with you? Yes.

MC: I meant being in the villa. You look like you're in your element.

EDDIE: I'm loving villa life. Beautiful place, beautiful girls, not much competition to speak of.

MC: Oh really? So what’s your read on the other boys?

EDDIE: Finn? He's a hunk, but he knows it. Head’s too big.

EDDIE: Alfie's fun… as a mate. He's got bants for days.

EDDIE: And Suresh? He's got a cool spy vibe going. But that's also his problem: too slick, too slippery.

MC: Sounds like you've got everyone figured out.

EDDIE: What? You don't agree?

CHOICE

①. I agree, a million percent

②. You're talking out of your arse

③. A girl never reveals her secrets

④. I guess I agree with some of that

①.

MC: I totally agree.

MC: You might come across as cocky, but you're not wrong about the boys.

EDDIE: Ya see?

He winks.

②.

MC: I think you're way off about the boys.

MC: You're selling them short. There's more to each of them than you think.

EDDIE: Oh really? Interesting.

③.

MC: Wouldn't you like to know?

MC: I'm not letting you in on what I think about the other boys.

EDDIE: Go on. I won't tell them.

MC: My lips are sealed.

④.

MC: I think you’re spot on about some of those things. But off the mark on some stuff too.

EDDIE: Enlighten me, please.

MC: I think I’ll let you figure it out for yourself.

—

MC: Time to turn the tables. I want to hear what you think of the girls.

EDDIE: You're all stunning, obviously.

EDDIE: You've certainly caught my eye.

CHOICE

①. Flirt back

②. Play it cool

①.

MC: Oh really?

EDDIE: What do you think about that?

MC: I can't imagine nicer eyes to be caught in.

②.

MC: You're just saying that because I'm sat here.

EDDIE: I'm not. You really have caught my eye.

MC: Who says I want your eyes – or any of you – on me?

EDDIE: I think you do.

—

EDDIE: You’re giving me a lot to think about, [MC].

MC: Like what?

EDDIE: Let’s just say it involves eggs and baskets. And where to put them.

Eddie gives you a playful wink and a chuckle. You can't help smiling. Another boy in the villa is competing for you.

——————————————————————————————

You enter the kitchen to grab a drink. And who's there? Suresh.

MC: Hi.

SURESH: Surprised to see you taking a break from riling me up.

MC: I've barely spoken to you tonight.

SURESH: Exactly. You've been flirting and chatting with all the boys in front of me.

MC: That's what people do in the villa.

SURESH: Except you're doing it to put me off.

SURESH: You're hoping I'll give up on you and move on to another girl.

MC: That's a big assumption.

SURESH: I know your games, babe.

CHOICE

①. I’m not playing games

②. My games are too good for you to spot

③. You don’t know who I am now

①.

MC: How dare you tell me I’m playing games?

MC: If anyone’s playing games, it’s you.

SURESH: That doesn’t sound like me.

②.

MC: Suresh, if I were playing games, you’d never even know.

MC: I’m on another whole level than you.

MC: I could play games around you all day long if I wanted to, and you’d never be the wiser.

SURESH: Now that’d be interesting.

③.

MC: Whoever you thought I was then isn’t who I am now. I’ve changed since our break-up.

SURESH: People don’t change. Not really.

MC: Well, then, I guess you’ll have to wait and see.

—

SURESH: Games or no games, my head won't be turned, no matter who walks through that door.

SURESH: I'm going to win you back.

{If could want Suresh back E02}

SURESH: I know you said I need to convince you, and I will.

{If don't want Suresh back E02}

SURESH: I know you said you don't want me back, but I'll change your mind.

{If not sure E02}

SURESH: I know you're not sure, but you will be.

SURESH: I’ve changed a lot since you last saw me… I’ll show you.

SURESH: I admit it: In the past, I didn’t treat you as well as you deserved.

SURESH: And I'm not claiming to have turned into an angel now….

SURESH: After all, angels are boring…

SURESH: But I am done cheating.

CHOICE

①. Maybe you’ve learned your lesson

②. I don't buy it, Suresh

①.

MC: I might believe you.

SURESH: Do you?

MC: I’m saying it’s possible you mean it when you say you're not a cheater anymore.

MC: Whether you can follow through is something else.

②.

MC: You can save your breath, ‘cos I'm not buying it.

SURESH: I'm serious.

MC: You can talk the talk, but so far, your actions don’t match what you’re saying.

—

SURESH: Don’t worry; I'll show you I'm serious.

SURESH: I'll give you some space to get your head sorted. That’s what a good guy would do, right?

MC: Are you saying you’re a good guy now?

Suresh gives you a mysterious smile as he hovers closer to you…

SURESH: Fair. I'll never be good, but that's what turns you on about me.

CHOICE

①. Don’t tell me what I think!

②. I like nice guys

③. Maybe it does

①.

MC: Don’t assume you know my mind! Ugh, that’s so typical of you!

MC: You haven’t changed at all.

You turn to leave.

SURESH: Wait!

SURESH: Hear me out.

②.

MC: What turns me on is a nice boy.

MC: ‘Good’ is what I’m into.

MC: Not that you’d understand that.

SURESH: Actually, I do. I get it now.

③.

MC: Maybe I like the bad boy thing…

MC: Maybe I just don’t like it on YOU anymore?

MC: Or maybe I like a bad boy who’s actually a good guy deep down.

SURESH: Maybe that’s who I am now.

—

SURESH: I’m different now.

SURESH: Back then, I’d do anything – say anything – to get in your bed.

MC: Now you’ve gotten back into my bed ‘cos we’re a couple. No change there.

SURESH: That’s where you’re wrong.

SURESH: I’m stepping back and giving you the bed.

MC: What?

SURESH: I’ll sleep on the day beds tonight.

MC: Why would you do that?

SURESH: Got to give you a chance to miss me.

SURESH: But seriously. I’ll give you all the space you need. I’m ready to play the long game.

SURESH: Sweet dreams.

He swaggers away with a sexy smirk.

You watch him as he walks out into the garden, sipping gently on his drink.

——————————————————————————————

You and the other girls are in the dressing room, removing the day's make-up. Obvious tension in the air between you and Kat.

MC: Intense day, huh?

KAT: That's one word for it.

DANA: Today was bonkers-tonkers! But I'm having a blast.

DANA: I'm obsessed with those little birdies that keep drinking from the pool!

DANA: Worst case scenario and I don't find love in here? At least I'll have seen some sick wildlife.

DANA: I'll be the girl who leaves the villa with a nightingale!

The mood lightens in the room.

DANA: Girls, what'd you say to a 'no cracking on' pact?

KAT: Babe, cracking on is the whole reason I'm here.

DANA: Just for tonight, I mean.

Kat raises an eyebrow.

DANA: As a way to keep the drama at bay on the first night. Ya know?

KAT: OK, then. I'm all about girl-code.

She shoots you a look.

DANA: You down, [MC]?

CHOICE

①. Yes girl-code! I'm down with the pact

②. Nah, I reserve my right to crack on!

①.

MC: Absolutely.

MC: I'm so down with this pact. Great idea!

MC: The Suresh situation has caused enough drama for one day.

KAT: Let's not forget the Alfie situ, too.

DANA: Yay! Pact!

②.

MC: No cracking on sounds like no fun.

MC: I'm all for girl-code, but this is Love Island, not friend island.

DANA: I just thought maybe after the whole Suresh situ this afternoon, we'd want a drama-free night?

MC: Sometimes you need to step on toes to find love.

MC: Sorry, girls. I vote no on the pact.

DANA: Fair; you do you, girl. But Kat and I are committed to the pact.

DANA: Right, Kat?

—

KAT: 'No cracking on' doesn't mean no looking.

She smiles mischievously.

KAT: Sharing a bedroom full of hot guys is my kind of paradise.

You and Dana exchange a nervous glance. Kat catches you.

KAT: Don't get moody, babes.

KAT: The pact ain't stopping me from being the hottest girl in the bedroom.

KAT: I've got a banging outfit for tonight.

DANA: Me too. The pact doesn’t mean I’m not going all out to make an impression on the first night.

DANA: Gonna make sure I’m looking and feeling lush!

KAT: Talking a strong game, Dana. Wonder whether {0} will go big or go home?

DANA: I’ve got an idea. Try on this gorgeous bedroom outfit, {0}.

KAT: That's a saucy little outfit.

KAT: Guess you're trying to compete with me.

DANA: Woooooooooo, girl! You look hot!

DANA: I can't get enough.

DANA: So, are you gonna go with that or something else?

CHOICE

①. Yes, I’m wearing this!

②. I’m going to see what else I’ve got

③. Maybe I’ll stick with what I was wearing

① & ②.

You pose confidently in front of the mirror.

MC: I love it.

DANA: You are looking absolutely fire!

KAT: Yep, even I can’t argue with that!

③.

MC: I can just change back…

MC: Is it too blah?

DANA: OK, real talk.

DANA: You know I think you’re hot as heck, but

DANA: You’re selling yourself short in that.

DANA: Plus, the boys might not get your whole… uhrmmm… effortless chic thing.

KAT: Your whole grandma thing, more like.

You study yourself in the mirror. Maybe you do look a little basic.

DANA: If you're not feeling those PJs, change into something else.

CHOICE

❶. You’ve swayed me. I’m going for this fancy outfit!

❷. I’m going to see what else I’ve got

❸. I’m sticking with my original look

❶ & ❷.

DANA: So, you’ve settled on the saucy outfit anyway. Can’t blame you.

KAT: Yeah, you look stunning. I’m not sure I’d have been able to pick anything else.

❸.

MC: I look nice in this.

DANA: You do you, [MC].

KAT: Sometimes it helps to be a little bit more than nice though, babe.

MC: Actually, I do look absolutely stunning in this!

DANA: You sure do.

KAT: I’ve got to give it to you. You look pretty good. Almost as good as me.

DANA: No need to be sour, Kat.

DANA: You look great in that outfit!

KAT: Yeah, it’s a good choice too, you look hot as.

DANA: So, you’re sticking with the basics. Fair enough.

KAT: Well, I guess you’ll be comfortable at least.

Kat and Dana strut out of the dressing room.

You check yourself out in the mirror for a moment before heading towards the bedroom.

As you're stepping out of the dressing room, Alfie catches you.

ALFIE: Can we have a quick chat?

MC: Sure. What's up?

ALFIE: I've been feeling low-key awks about the Kat drama earlier.

MC: Not your fault. Kat is…

ALFIE: She's fiery.

You chuckle.

MC: She’s not shy, that’s for sure.

ALFIE: She knows her mind and doesn't take any crap. I like that.

MC: Oh. Ok.

ALFIE: It's all good.

ALFIE: Listen, I wanted to say I hope that the drama with Kat hasn't jeopardised our friendship.

MC: So we're just friends?

ALFIE: Of course not 'just friends'.

{If kissed Alfie E02}

ALFIE: Who could forget our near-kiss earlier?

MC: Not me. The sparks were flying.

ALFIE: I think I got an electric shock.

{If smiled at Alfie E02}

ALFIE: How could I forget that steamy smile you gave me at the bean bags?

MC: Glad you didn’t forget about it.

ALFIE: A man could never forget getting lost in your beautiful eyes.

{If hugged Alfie E02}

ALFIE: I haven’t forgotten that loooooong hug we had on the bean bags.

MC: Glad I left an impression on you.

{If kissed Alfie's neck while hugging E02}

ALFIE: And don’t think that sexy little neck kiss escaped my notice either.

ALFIE: There's definitely chemistry. Chemistry that could maybe synthesise –

ALFIE: Synthesise? That’s a chemistry word, right? I’m counting it as a pun.

ALFIE: Anyway, we’ve got chemistry that could develop into a romantic connection. I think.

MC: You think? You don't sound too sure.

Alfie shrugs.

ALFIE: Early days, innit? But obviously I'll be sharing a bed with Kat tonight.

ALFIE: But nothing is set in stone yet, ya know?

ALFIE: It's only the first day and I'm not putting all my eggs in any one basket yet.

ALFIE: People in here are still just starting to show their true colours. Like your ex…

MC: I saw he pulled you for a chat earlier.

ALFIE: I like to chat to everyone. See who's who. Social butterfly, innit?

MC: Sure. But it looked like a kinda deep conversation you had with Suresh.

ALFIE: We had a solid chat, yeah.

CHOICE

①. Any goss?

②. Don't trust him

③. I don’t want to pry

①.

MC: Come on, spill the tea

ALFIE: It was just a casual chat.

MC: Why are you so interested in talking to Suresh all of a sudden?

ALFIE: Why is it a problem if I am?

MC: It could be if you're digging for dirt on me.

ALFIE: Whoa, who said anything about digging for dirt?

MC: So you’re saying I didn’t come up?

ALFIE: Well…

②.

MC: You know you can't believe everything Suresh says, right?

ALFIE: Why not?

MC: He's a cheater. Cheaters can't be trusted. Take it from me.

ALFIE: Don't worry. I took anything he said about you with a pinch of salt.

③.

MC: It’s none of my business what you talked about.

MC: I’m not assuming you guys talked about me.

—

ALFIE: We talked about a bunch of stuff. It wasn’t just about you.

MC: So you and Suresh DID talk about me!

Alfie hesitates.

ALFIE: Yeah, Suresh told me some stuff. Why?

CHOICE

①. None of my business

②. Is Suresh turning you against me?

③. I care about your opinion, not Suresh’s

①.

MC: Whatever. You boys are entitled to your private chats.

MC: It’s not my place to constantly censor people’s opinions of me.

ALFIE: I still think you're a top girl. You've got the bants, the looks, the personality.

ALFIE: But there's still loads we don't know about each other yet.

②.

MC: He better not be feeding you lies about me.

ALFIE: You don't know what he said about you.

MC: I know there are two sides to every story. Suresh could be biased when it comes to our past.

MC: He has no right to try to sabotage whatever connections I might be building here in the villa…

③.

MC: I’m not bothered by what Suresh thinks about me. I care what you think about me.

MC: Suresh is going to say what he feels. But remember he’s my ex.

MC: My past is my past. Anything you've heard, I hope it hasn't ruined any potential here and now.

ALFIE: Don't worry. I form my own opinions on people.

—

ALFIE: You and me, we've got a connection, for sure.

{If wearing gem outfit}

ALFIE: And you’re looking incredible in that outfit, my days.

ALFIE: But like I said, It's early days.

ALFIE: Who knows what will happen?

{If chose Alfie E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with me, but things change fast in here.

{If chose Eddie E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with Eddie, but things change fast in here.

{If chose Suresh E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with Suresh, but things change fast in here.

ALFIE: A day is like a week in the villa.

ALFIE: We're still all figuring each other out. Don’t you think?

CHOICE

①. Absolutely! Same page

②. I’m neutral

③. I’ve figured out I’m into you

①.

MC: Definitely agree! We’re still the getting-to-know-everyone phase.

MC: In the meantime, it’s good we keep things light and easy.

MC: After all, tomorrow’s a new day.

②.

MC: I want everyone to be open-minded and not write people off too fast.

MC: Do you and I have a clean slate moving forward?

ALFIE: I hope so!

③.

MC: I already know I’m into you.

MC: I know what I like.

MC: If you’re not completely sold on me yet, I’ll just have to get grafting tomorrow, won’t I?

ALFIE: I look forward to it.

—

ALFIE: Excited to see what’s in store for us in the morning!

——————————————————————————————

You enter the iconic villa bedroom and cosy up in bed, alone. Suresh is outside on the day beds, ‘giving you space’.

You look around the room at the other couples snuggled up in bed together: Kat and Alfie, Dana and Eddie.

Finn stops by the foot of your bed.

FINN: You alright in that big bed all by yourself?

CHOICE

①. Heck yes! Extra space!

②. My mind is racing. I can’t relax

③. Actually, it's kinda lonely without a hot boy in here

①.

MC: I'm loving all this room.

You stretch out, luxuriantly.

FINN: Bet you wish I was taking up some of that room.

MC: Sounds like that’s YOUR wish, Finn…

MC: I'm enjoying having the bed to myself.

②.

MC: Ugh, no. I just can't turn off my brain and get comfy.

FINN: Would be a lot comfier with me in there with you.

MC: If you’re trying to help, thanks…

MC: But I just can't relax.

MC: My brain is whirling.

Finn perches on the edge of the bed.

FINN: Worried about the Alfie/Suresh situation?

MC: I'm not sure where I stand with either of them.

FINN: Try to sleep. Save sorting it for the morning.

③.

MC: All I’m missing is a sexy boy beside me.

FINN: Sounds like you need some company.

MC: Who says I was talking about you?

FINN: Of course you were. I'm VERY good company.

MC: I'm sure you are…

MC: But we're not a couple.

FINN: Yet.

He winks.

—

Finn wanders off toward his own bed, but continues chatting away to the whole room.

FINN: Don't worry, ladies. I won't be going to bed on my lonesome after tomorrow.

CHOICE

①. I'd love to get in his bed

②. I wish he’d cut the cockiness and let us sleep

①.

You lean across to the neighbouring bed and whisper to Dana.

MC: Imagine what it'd be like to curl up next to Finn?

MC: His shredded, tatted arms spooning you?

You shiver with excitement. Dana giggles.

DANA: That could be you in 24 hours, if he chooses you to couple up with tomorrow.

②.

You lean across to the neighbouring bed and whisper to Dana.

MC: I could use a break from Finn's constant cockiness.

MC: Ugh, I’m trying to sleep.

DANA: Like, we get it, Finn. You're hot and single.

MC: My brain is fried from all the drama today. I just want to sleep and wake up clear-headed tomorrow.

The bedroom lights go out and you settle in for sleep. But some rustling and whispering makes you open your eyes.

You look to your side and you can just make out Alfie and Kat in the next bed. A few tell-tale giggles suggest something more than just snuggling is going on.

KAT: Oh, Alfie.

ALFIE: You’re naughty.

You roll over. In the bed on your other side, you see the shadows of Dana and Eddie. They're spooning!

But Eddie soon nods off. A full day of flexing his pecs must have left him exhausted. He starts snoring, loud enough to drive Dana to the very edge of their bed.

You're distracted by more giggles rising from Kat and Alfie's bed.

Alfie and Kat are completely under the duvet. You see Kat's outstretched arm drop a piece of her nightwear to the floor. You can't be sure exactly what's happening, but it certainly seems like she's abandoned the no-cracking-on code.

CHOICE

①. Hide your head under a pillow

②. Get Dana's attention

③. Cough loudly

①.

You shove your head under your pillow. You don't want to see or hear any more.

②.

You roll over onto your other side. Psstt! You softly get Dana's attention.

When she blinks open an eye, you lean over and whisper.

MC: Are you seeing this?!

You nod toward Alfie and Kat's bed.

Dana sits up, looks over, and whispers back to you.

DANA: Is she breaking the pact already?!

You shrug.

Dana throws a balled-up pair of socks at Alfie and Kat's bed. You giggle.

Dana hisses at Alfie and Kat's duvet.

DANA: Oi! What happened to the pact, Kat?

Kat pops her head over the duvet, shoots you a grin, and then disappears back under it. Dana turns to you.

DANA: We're definitely grilling her about this tomorrow!

③.

You cough, loudly and on purpose. Alfie and Kat's giggles stop for a second.

But as soon as you shut your eyes, the giggles start back up again. You sigh and bury your head in your pillow.

—

Dana sneaks over to your bed and whispers.

DANA: I have to tell you! I can't sleep on it.

MC: What?

DANA: Earlier, Alfie told me that Suresh was hinting that your flirty behaviour with Alfie was just games.

DANA: Just a way to make Suresh jealous.

Before you can react to this revelation, Suresh walks into the room to get some insect repellent. You and Dana instantly stop talking.

Suresh looks over at you. There's a moment of tension. You hold your breath.

Suresh gives you a smile.

SURESH: I know I said I’d give you space, but good guys say good-night, right?

SURESH: Sleep tight. See you in your dreams.

He winks and leaves for the day beds.

DANA: Seems Suresh wants to play some games after all.

DANA: Question is: What are you going to do about it, [MC]?

NARRATOR: Kat and Alfie have already had more under the sheets action than I’ve had all year.

NARRATOR: Just kidding. I went dressed as a ghost to a fancy dress party. It counts.

NARRATOR: But will Kat and Alfie’s coupling come to a premature Finn-ish tomorrow night?

NARRATOR: Or will our crafty bombshell couple up with [MC] instead?

NARRATOR: Find out next time on Love Island.

[trixeraptops]

This is gonna be a long ass commentary piece as I finally stop procrastinating and I watch the SGE movie.

Buckle up prowlers and princexs and make sure to follow the rules. This line is headed to the school for good and evil.

Not even watching and the cover photo makes me excited. Is she wearing a crown of thorns? Slay. Love the font they used too

The orchestral music and the effects as the title rolls in... I understand what happy crying is now

I usually hate silent reading in movies but I think it was the right move here and the music is kinda eery but also ethereal. A balance of good and evil ♡

STRAIGHT TO A FIGHT WITH THE BROTHERS

THE DRAMA I LOVE THE RED VERSUS BLUE

I love Rhians coat and the automatic way you can tell who is evil with their mannerisms

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS

OH MY GOD RHIAN TOSSED RAFAL OFF A CLIFF? I THOUGHT HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE?

Non Canon compliance or a red herring?

Straight into decadence and a fancy ball after the intensity. This is such a beautiful interpretation of what I think is Sophie's dream.

I kinda wish they had stayed with this like in the book but also the fight was epic so I won't complain

SOPHIE IS SO PRETTY hate her dress love the actress LOVE THE GLASS SHOES

And the narrator saying how she sees herself mwah chefs kiss

BRUV JUST GOT FIRED FOR DROPPING A GLASS CAUSE HE WAS IN AWE OF HER BEAUTY

Wait does Helena already live with them? That's not meant to happen til the 2nd book. But it does explain further why Sophie wants to leave Gavaldon so I'll let it pass

HER DRESS ONG I'm in love costume design is on point so far

Why is Helena, if it is Helena, blaming Sophie for throwing tomatoes her devil children did that

But then again the whole point of Sophie was she had a good life where she had a living family and was narcissistic and beauty obsessed and that's why she was evil even though her actions were 'good'

Ooh Aggie's turn!

Wait are they not starting on the choosing day? It seems like everyone is going about their normal lives which is the exact opposite of what happens when the choice night happens. Idk what the proper term is for the kidnapping

Side note I wonder if Sophie is ever gonna read the story book she does in the beginning with the witch who had a bracelet of bones so that the connection between Ansdil and the witch is present (or was it Hester? Sure wasn't Dot)

I'm 6 minutes in btw. I'm never gonna finish at this rate lol

I love the design of Graves Hill

REAPER MY BABY BOI

I love Agatha's design! And Callus too

I love that their first shot together is them separated by a road being jeered at four being weird. I hope it's echoed later in the movie it'd be such a good recurring theme of separation between good and evil and then they kiss and go home to connect them (at least in the book they kiss)

As much as I love it I do miss the idea of Sophie having to drag Agatha out of the house and having the small interaction with Radley that shows she isn't as good as she makes herself out to be

Wait Sophie ignored her mothers grave (book) and now she's reading at it (movie)? Why not just have a funeral scene instead? Though she is a (adorable) child in this scene so maybe it's different now that's she's grown? Or maybe they just nixed that detail?

Also Sophie made friends with Aggie as a good deed now its a genuine friendship? Or was 5-7 year old Sophie already plotting ahead?

STICKCROWN JUST LIKE IN THE- OHHHHHHHHH

I do like the first actual conversation further solidifying Sophie's emphasis on beauty trying to give Aggie a makeover.

The causul insults and the way the two are in synch is so good though, the chemistry of these actors is amazing! Can't wait for them to fight each other later

[Agatha chortles] idk why that's funny

I feel like book Sophie would be offended being called a prig but idk what that even means

Aggies social anxiety and everyone being mean to her

OH SHOWING THE GOOD WITH THE GOAT LOVE IT

Omg this guy is threatening a child

AND IT'S SOPHIE WITH THE STEEL PAN

Wait Sophie I can see as a major customer but Aggie denounces all things fairytale (except for her secret stash). Also don't the books come like every for years and the kids all line up to get a copy? What happened to that? This store should be empty

I spoke too soon Aggie is ridiculing her for reading kids books while holding an edgy story.

Sophie should 200% own Cinderella already are you joking? I get why they did it though they can't just info dump like in a book plus it's the og copy she's looking at

I feel like they could've done a flashback to explain the SGE. Everyone in Gavaldon knows it. They'd be stupid not to, they have a big event where bad kids join the choir and good ones cut off their hair and all the adults hold torches In a ring around the village. But if they are kids they wouldn't know

Love the insane asylum line from Aggie though

Why twenty years ago. This is a every 4 years deal. Wtf making it rare changes fucking everything

And only one girl? They're supposed to be in pairs! One good one evil

I feel like Sophie's letter could have been written to convince the school master to take her WITHOUT CHANGING THE ENTIRE FUCKING KIDNAPPING HOOK

They are supposed to be special because they are good and evil who are friends. Not because they're the only ones to be taken in a Fucking pair.

That kid that bites people is thereby going erased so how is Agatha going to realize the fairies and wolves are failed students? She gonna recognize Leonara who's she's never seen in her life?

I was so excited to see the Schoolmaster chase scene where Agatha jumps through fire to save Sophie but I don't that will happen

And the terrible home life justifies Sophie wanting to leave. Originally it was cause she thought she was better than everyone else but now it's cause she has a bad life. They haven't built up her "good but actually not a good" side at all.

I was so excited but everything's changed and not in a good way. Fucking Wishing Tree. They just did it cause it's easy not cause it's accurate.

I hope the rest of the movie is less... disappointing. It had so much potential just to slap me in the face with its utter ignorance of Canon.

I love Agathas emotional speech to get her to stay and Sophie betraying her that's the only close to evil thing she's done so far

Oh I love this chase scene this was what I was excited for

AHHH THE BIRD LOOKS SO COOL!!!!

The castles are so cool I love them

Hahahaa Hort is such a creep now THAT is Canon compliant

HAH SHE JUST BITCH SLAPPED A FAIRY

These good girls omg, pretending their nice and calling Aggie an it in the same breath

Loving the costume design and I have a feeling I know who Beatrix and Kikyo are~

Can't wait to see the baddies

Sophie is finally showing her bad side and LADY LESSO IS SLAYYYYING

Still wish it was every 4 years like the books but I'm gonna have to let it slide if I want to make it through this

Wait they gotta Memorize everything on the first day? That's true evil. I love it but I do miss the snake basket maybe they'll have the uniform in one

Hahaha I love Agatha

Professor Dovey AHHHH She is a golden goddess

She comes off a bit condescending but also kind. But threatening jeez

Armour she says while hundreds of dresses come in. Also they're meant to have uniforms why is she getting a choice? Is this for casual wear?

Omg they look so out of place even in clothes that fit their school it's perfect.

The Evers chatting ever and then the school for evil chants kill you? Mood.

Why are they starting before the boys get there that's rude.

Ohh ok so instead of the theater moving the first year boys have to sword fight in front of the school. Much more practical ngl

AH TRISTAN

Damn Tedros swung in on a rope, the drama

NO USE THE SWORD YOU DUMB DRAMATIC BITCH bringing fists to a sword fight smh

Yup Beatrix for sure who I thought she was, Kikyo currently uncomfirmed

School for Evil represent!

Ok I understand why he didn't use Excalibur fighting his own side for fun now

I hope the Cyclops wins but I know he won't unfortunately

I love the rose toss. If he hadn't looked back he wouldn't throw it to Agatha and now it's a set up for Sophie and Tedros's relationship

Ooh ok a Lil nice moment btwn Ted and Agatha I see you foreshadowing lovely

Who is this bitch please say it's not the Schoolmaster please say it's fucking Pollux or something

The dorm is so cool

Also what fucking dorm room locks from the outside? Or were those bitches holding the door?

AH THE BADDIES ARE SO COOL

Also who introduces their father with themself? This isn't a descendents fanfic

Your name is Dot but Sophie is weird

The Evil room has the perfect aesthetic

So it's cupids instead of gargoyles?

Demon cupids

I love the dynamic between Dovey and Lesso

I'm sorry is that blood? RAFAL

Bitch just threatened Aggie and poofed the fuck out

Wait where is the mirror in between the bridge

OH THE FIGHT BETWEEN SOPHIE AND HESTER IM SALVATING

We got off on a rocky start but 42 minutes in and all is forgiven your my fate to the trial by tale tonight

'Something' acting like it wasn't a whole ass man dancing in blood

Shit is going fast

Oh no it is the schoolmaster :(

He's meant to be mysterious :((((

I wish they waited a bit for the Storian reveal but I get it, they've got a time limit can't be as drawn out as the book

The height difference kills me Aggie is so tall lmao

Wait everyone moved out of Aggies room why are their people in there? No one wanted to bunk with the witch?

Sophie is wearing a crown of twigs♡♡♡

The kiss list omg

Oh no red head isn't Tristan. That's disappointing. I bet he's the bite kids replacement

Why be revolting? None of them are they're all stunningly beautiful. Ig that's why the uglification class exists

Um I'm sorry I thought Anemone was the classic cone hat princess who taught animal communication? Nvm checked my book she is the beautification teacher I was thinking of Uma

This scene would've worked better with the original Aggie who never smiled instead of this one who smiled a fuck ton at the beginning. This scene makes no sense more that we've seen her smiling and know she can do it. Though maybe it's harder to smile on command?

Also Good is prejudiced against neurodivergents I can't tell you how many posts I've read of people having to practice smiling and facial expressions. It's the first day cut her some slack Anemone jeez

Also you give grades at the end Anemone. Prejudiced and rule breaker

HORT YOU BITCH but it was sweet that he said she'd always look beautiful to him we stan a creepy half wolf who loves women despite what they look like

Gregor is the fake Tristan! Is he replacing Kikyo or have we just not met her yet. Anyways be seems sweet

He wants to run a grocery store that's so cute

Why are they fighting on a hill? We saw that there was a courtyard they could use that is much flatter and safer

Sophie pulling bold moves, she's clearly never heard of consent jeez

JESUS CHRIST YUBA

Ooh nice moment btwn Tedros and Agatha it's Canon divergent but i like it alot better than hating each other until they recognize they're meant to be (she said condescendingly)

It's more like playful teasing than hatred. They're actually friends in this i love it

Why is Yuba's group only Evers it is meant to be the only mixed class other than lunch

JESUS DEADLY FLOWER

Yuba is very different not only in height which I don't mind but in personality he's not as gruff and jaded

She's literally watching him fail Jesus she gonna have some trauma after that

Awww lady lesso doesn't have a class made of ice? Unfortuanate

Oh and now she teaches special powers? Bruv

Oh ew Hesters skin is pulsating gross

Oh Hort told her to watch out sweet

The demon is so cool though

Yeah Sophie call the squirrels to fight a demon

Wait but she called them with a scream she meant to sing to kill them

Oh the bees turned into Rafal

Also Lady Lesso X Rafal???

Oh this is so sad Hester baby :(

WAIT SO RHIAN IS THE SCHOOL MASTER AND RAFAL IS A SPIRIT? Babe your killing me

Also no spiffy professor Sader :(

Aggie babe middle of class ain't the time to bring up Gregor

What no Uma? Dovey stole her class smh

Shit her name is Kiko? Whyd I think it was Kikyo?

Oh Aggie is so pure I love her "I wish for home for all of us"

Oh the wish fish were a baby girl I'm gonna cry this is so sweet

Fuck Agatha just saw two deaths in what to or knowledge is a row

Oh Gregor is a birdie now ♡

TEDROD YOU ASSHOLE YOU JUST KILLED GREGOR FOR REALSIES

Now they're enemies

Dovey is angry at the present but she showed it towards Aggie at first but I'm glad they got there now

AH THE DOOM ROOM ♡♡♡♡♡

Wait where is the White Wolf

Is she not going to kill him in this version

Oooh damn she yanked her extensions out (cut her hair)

YASSSS AGGIE TELL TEDROS OFF

Oh ngl she looks so fucking good with short hair

Omg shut up Rafal go away you vampiric creep

oh Teddy is actually nice to her after the punch in this version that's new and welcomed. Can't be meant to be if you want to her each other

Just like the Og Kiko is adorable

Oh ew the key pierces into them like a knife

OH EW IT GOES THROUGH THE ENTIRE FINGER

Damnnnn Sophie looks like a baddie fucking slay queen

How'd she know what's going on she came in late

The costume dept killed this film

The arrow flies straight if you're pure? Homophobic smh lmao

Calm down Hort, possessive much?

Oof if Hester doesn't kill Sophie I think Beatrix will

Ayo Bea I thought Evers never attacked

Wait Trial by Tale is meant to be an annual school thing now its a test of true love? Stop ruining my school traditions movie :(

What's next no talent show?

I wish the relationships were more developed. But there is so much that happens in the book I really can't blame them

Wait do Nevers not get a Survival class? Wtf this is rigged!

Hell yeah Aggie the dove for the win!

Sophie help him you dumb bitch you have to have learned something. Use your talent!

Don't blame Aggie for saving Tedros's life while you were being a Fucking coward. All you had to do was throw a sword at him

Stop smiling Rafal your a creep

You tell her Aggie! Fuck her up with your words!

Wait did they lock her in room 66? Does that mean that they kicked out Dot Anadil and Hester?

SHUT UP RAFAL YOU BASTARD

MANIPULATIVE ASSHOLE

CUNT LEAVE SOPHIE ALONE

DON'T TRUST HIM SOPH

OH YOU PEDO

I saw your brother Rafal your too old to be calling Sophie love

GO THE FUCK OFF ANEMONE!! YASSSSSSS QUEEN

Oh my god there is no talent show :,(

Gross she just pulled out her tooth

Lesso is Leonora? Twist

I'm glad the skipped the part where Tristan tried to be Tedros and Kiko tried to be Beatrix but i miss the talent show it would've been so dramatic and I wish they have Aggie what I believe to be her iconic night blue gown with the gold

Instead she looks like Cinderella

Damn make up team did well

Sophie and Bakugo would get along "Shut up Aggie the protagonists are talking"

I love the drama of the blood magic

She drops a bomb and then dips like a Fucking badass

Ok I know I was complaining about the talent show being canceled but I love how Sophie showed her evil by turning the teachers to dolls

[ask-mister-mystery]

Stans face drains of all colour.

He imagines it now, standing in a grey austere courtroom wearing a orange prison jumpsuit two sizes too big.

‘Does the defendant have anything to say before I pass judgement?’

‘No sir, I didn’t mean to kill him I swear, it was an accident!’

The stern looking judge in Stan’s imagination shakes his head disappointedly.

‘Excuses, excuses. I have no alternative than to sentence you to DEATH.’

Stan shakes his head, trying to get back to reality in the here and now. He tries desperately to get his train of thought together but the world seems to be spinning like a carousel.

“I just found them! I swear!” Stan shouts frantically, breaking free of his twins grasp as he runs up to check on Jesse.

The boys chest is rising and falling, so he’s not dead at least. Blood is still dribbling from his nose, which is already starting to swell like a large angry tomato.

Stan can already tell this is going to be the most trouble he’s been in in his life. More than the time he took his dads gold chain without telling. More than the time he tried to drive the car. This is what will ruin his summer and cause him to be grounded for the rest of his natural life. He wished he had never taken the stupid brass knuckles at this point.

“Ford, come here and help me get him up!” Stan barks, hoping that he can at the very least avoid a murder charge. Jesse was a pain in the butt, but he at least didn’t deserve to die.

Ford rushed to his side.

“Come on Stan, tell me the truth here…” Ford muttered, low enough so Aggie couldn’t hear. “Where did you get them? It wasn’t old lady Yearling was it?” Stan says nothing, but Ford obviously picks up on something in his expression which betrays his silence.

The two boys don’t say anything further but drag Jesse with some difficulty to rest propped up against a tree. The larger boy still hadn’t regained consciousness but made a series of grunting noises, as if being roused from a lengthy sleep.

Stan rushes to stem the flow of blood from his nose, difficult while wearing the knuckles. The mark of Cain.

Ford rounds towards Aggie and looks like he’s about to spill the beans to her when suddenly.

“What in holy hell is going on here?” Graunty Mabel has arrived on the scene, hands on hips, expression like thunder. Stan has never seen her look this angry before.

Her eyes dart in quick succession from Aggie, to Ford, to Stan, to the burbling figure of Jesse who looks like he might finally be regaining consciousness, to the…

Brass knuckles. Stan watches Graunty Mabel mouth the words to herself in shock but not say them.

She looks like shes about to cry for one brief second but then suddenly composes herself and it’s all business.

“Aggie, get inside and call Olive and get her to come over. She and I need a little talk. Ford, go and get the first aid kit, it’s in the office next to my box of puffy stickers. Stan-“

Her eyes flit down to him.

“Take those things off. Now.”

“But I’m”- he nods down to Jesse and his pinched fingers.

Graunty Mabel pinches the bridge of her nose and rubs it.

“Stan sweetheart, it’s too late, you’ve broken his nose. Kinda trying to bolt the stable after the horse has bolted.”

Stan silently takes the knuckles off and lets them fall to the ground with a soft thud. Mabel swoops in and grabs them off the floor.

Stan is looking at the ground, hoping that the earth will swallow him up whole.

Graunty Mabel looks at Ford and Aggie.

“Go! I gave you things to do kids!” she says, sounding uncharacteristically stern for a change.

They both rush toward the Shack, leaving Stan alone with Mabel.

“I’m sorry Graun”- Stan dares to look at Mabel.

“Don’t bother with apologies just now kid. You have messed up good and proper here. But let me know something, why did you ever take these from Olive Yearling?”

“How did you know I?”-

“I just do Stan.”

“She…she gave them to me. Said to only use them in an emergency. An’ this was an emergency!” Stan said, sounding defensive all of a sudden. “You shoulda heard what Jesse was sayin! He”-

Mabel raises a palm to silence him.

“Remember what I said when you and your brother first came here?”

“When the cops aren’t around, anything’s legal?”

“The other thing.”

Stan sighs.

“No roughhousing the locals.”

“Exactly.” Her expression and voice have softened slightly.

She steps forward to look at Jesse. His eyes have opened but he still looks fairly out of it. Mabel retrieves a light up pen from the folds of her jacket and clicks it on.

“Just follow the light Jesse…” she mutters reassuringly, moving it from left to right as his pupils lazily follow the pen.

She looks back at Stan.

“He’ll live.” She stands back and squints at Jesse’s face.

“Though that nose of his is always going to be crooked.” She tuts.

Stan feels immensely relieved. Though to be honest if the biggest plus he could get from this was that he wasn’t a murderer, he wasn’t feeling too positive about what was to come next.

@ask-mister-mystery from here

“That’s far enough Jesse.” Stan said, sounding a lot braver than he felt in reality.

He had barely time to react when Aggie had come running at him from out in the woods to hide behind him. He was just about to ask what on earth she was hiding from, when Jesse Stonewall had emerged from the same path Aggie had.

“You got some nerve Pines…” Jesse smirked at him with a yellowed grin before hawking a spitwad at his feet. “I’d almost be impressed, if it weren’t for the fact I beat the crap out of you, every time you do a dumbass thing like this.”

Stan felt for the brass knuckles Olive had gave him in his pants pocket. This was definitely one of those emergency situations she said he could use these in, right?

“Well Pines, you gotta pretty simple choice here. Leave me and my lady friend alone. Or, I beat the ever loving snot out of you, and then I go off with my lady”-

THWACK

Jesse had been so busy smugly running through his gloating little speech, he hadn’t even noticed Stan putting the child-sized brass knuckles on. And then proceeding to somehow land an uppercut on Jesses nose, honestly impressive considering Jesse’s height advantage.

Blood instantly starts pouring from his nose like a faucet. The crack of bone that Stan had just heard makes it pretty obvious that he’s broken his nose.

Jesse dumbly dabs a finger in the stream of blood coming out, looks at it bewilderedly, and then promptly faints.

“Oh crap oh crap oh crap I am so screwed!” Stan said hurriedly, flapping his arms about.

—

Why is she so afraid of a loser like Jesse? What was it about him that made her entire body freeze? It’s getting embarrassing at this point.

She could throw him ten feet, easy. She could probably make all his hair fall out, or if she really REALLY tried, she could probably turn him into a frog. But her magic fails her, her body fails her, she just freezes when he’s around. There’s something in his cold blue eyes that makes her feel sick and powerless, and she hates it.

She’s been on her way to the shack to help the boys with some mystery thing when Jesse has sauntered out from behind the trees where he likely had been hiding. She’d tried to tell him as firmly as possible to leave her alone. He’d taunted her while calling her baby which made her skin crawl.

“What? You gonna get that twerp you hang around with to fight me or something? I’ll take him down just like I always do. If he doesn’t leave you alone, I’ll cave his stupid face in.”

That had made her mad enough to charge him and push him as hard as she could, but her magic failed her and he only stumbled back slightly with a laugh. That’s when she took off running down the path towards the shack. She though maybe I’d she could get there, maybe Mabel would let her hide somewhere or tell Jesse off, then Stan wouldn’t have to fight him. But of course, her friend was waiting in the yard for her like he often did. Her previous plan is forgotten and she runs for him instead, gasping that Jesse was chasing her as she ducked behind Stan, which provided little cover since he was only a bit taller than her. But she couldn’t deny she did feel safer behind him, though that safe feeling is tangling up with her fear of seeing him hurt.

She helplessly tugs on his shirt, hoping he’ll just run with her, but he’s got a new sort of resolve that she can almost feel radiating off of him. She’s rooted to the spot in fear as Jesse advances and she thinks maybe she should scream, surely Mabel of Stanford or maybe even Maria or Dan would hear her and come running but before she can do anything, Stan’s launched himself forward. She’s about to scream for him to stop but then she sees the spurt of blood, hears the sickening crack of something in the bully’s face breaking.

Her hands fly to her mouth, eyes wide as she watched the bloody brute of a boy away on the spot before falling to a heap in the dirt. She looks from the collapsed boy to her friend, finally seeing the brassy bits of metal (now flecked with blood) on his hands.

She stares at Stan, her face drained of all color. She finally drops her hands from her still open mouth to speak when another voice can be heard, shouting as he ran from the front of the shack.

“Stan, Aggie!” Stanford called, “I was watching from the window, wh-“ He skids to a stop. He takes in the sight of his friend standing there as white as a ghost, his twin brother flecked with blood and armed with brass knuckles that’s he’s never seen before, and local bully Jesse Stonewall unconscious and bloodied on the ground.

“Stanley, what did you do?” Stanford voice cracks a bit as he yells, running to his brother and grabbing him by the shoulders, “Where did you get those?!” He looks at Jesse, and looks like he’s about to be sick. “Oh jeez, you didn’t kill him, didja?!”
