auggggggh ive been wanting to make this post for an eternity but i havent been able to because I keep trying to explain myself WELL guess what. Im giving up, heres the song Wenn ich tanzen will from Elisabeth: das Musical with english translations, does it not make you think of what if Feysand was interesting

youtube

If you dont wanna watch the whole thing for some reason, I'd like to highlight this part

Fly!

I'll fly alone!

I alone want to accompany you through night and storm

I don't want to be accompanied anymore

Not even by you — I won't let myself be led

You're free only through me

Only through me

Only for me

For me!

For you shall make the way for me

I'm going my own way now

I've seperated myself from you — Leave me alone!

You've fallen in love with me

Because there's no freedom without me

And no one can understand you except for me!

Oh and also this part (theyre kinda singing over each other at this point)

I'm strong enough on my own!

You were only strong as long as you still thought that you were weak

I'm not calling for you!

You will call for me!

I'm not seeking you out!

You will seek me out!

I'm beginning to love my life!

Soon you will hate it!

Okay, I actually lied at the start of this post, I am gonna try to explain myself. My ideal not-boring version of Feysand that I think of when I listen to this song is like. Okay so, the structure of the story is fundamentally the same (except it takes place over a wayyyy longer timespan) with Feyre initially just kinda going about her new life as a traumatized fae and Rhysand coming to pick her up once a month, which ends up helping her because the SC manorhouse is kind of just covered in a bunch of depressing ooze rn (figuratively) and she cant really leave and Rhysand is basically giving her an excuse to hang out in a place without ooze, so its easier for her to have a good time. Rhysand is kinda awkward around her initially because hes basically like "ohhhhhh shit oh fuck, the woman that I tortured UTM as a fucked up way of coping with what Amarantha was doing to is my soulmate!!" because i really hate the fact that Rhysand apparently already knew about her and dreamt about her before she was even fae, it shouldve snapped in place for both of them during that little scene at the end of ACOTAR but Feyre has no concept of how a mating bond is supposed to feel like so shes just kinda like "huh, that felt kinda weird. anyway"

(this inexplicably got very long. like, 6 more paragraphs long. so much for me not explaining myself)

So yeah, Rhysand is hardcore struggling trying to figure out how to win her over despite all of the torture, but fortunately for him all she wants is to be left alone, so he does that, no putting her in unecessary danger and no asking insane favors of her even though theyve only been hanging out for like two weeks. Idrk how, but at some point they would start to get closer, this all happens very slowly, its a true slow-burn. And then one day Tamlin is like "I cant stand it, I need to find a way to break this bargain" so he collects a bunch of guys and he tells Feyre that theyre gonna go out and travel through all of Prythian and maybe even beyond in order to find a way to do it and itll probably take them atleast a few months. And then when Feyre says she wants to come along because this is about her after all, hes like "no, its dangerous and also, if Im gone then the Spring Court is gonna needs its Lady" and then he puts the shield around the manor because yeah, Im keeping Tamlin shitty in this one, sorry. This is about me trying to make Feysand good but trying to figure that out with Tamlin being in-character is too complicated for me rn so Im just gonna stick to the character assassination (thats something SJM probably also said while writing ACOMAF)

So yeah, like in canon, Mor gets her outta there and then Feyre starts permanently staying the night court except shes not going out on political errands because of the war with Hybern because honestly, this whole war plot is so stupid and it feels so unecessary like cmon Sarah girlie, I can tell youre not actually interested in writing politics, just stick to the romance and the healing journey. Anyway, during her stay she inadvertantly starts spending more time with Rhysand and realizing that he suffered too and that hes only human or fae or something like that, which helps her deal with her UTM trauma because she kinda thought of him as the embodiment of all her new trauma, so seeing that hes really not that and that hes just a person that she can make peace with helps her

Rhys is falling head over heels for Feyre because she just reminds him SO much of Cassian while Feyre is kinda conflicted but starting to develop some affection for him, and again, this happens over the course of many many months instead of just two. And after all that time, Feyre is starting feel pretty good and she doesnt really wanna go back to the spring court if shes totally honest with herself and then oops, Tamlin's back! He finds her and hes super worried like "oh my cauldron, feyre, my servants told me he just kidnapped you and they couldnt find a way to free you!! but Im here now and Im taking you back home dont worry" and Feyre feels guilty and shes basically like "yeahhhhh this was totally necessary, I definitely wanna go back... home, its just that he exploited this loophole in the bargain so had to stay here. Totally against my will, oh no it was so bad" and Tamlin tells her not to worry, theyve found a way to break they just need to get back to the spring court so they do that

At the Spring Court, Feyre gets to thinking. She thinks shes basically completely defeated her trauma by hanging out with Rhysand and shes like "well, my trauma was pretty much the main thing that made mine and Tamlins relationship not work, so now that my trauma is gone its gonna be all smooth sailing from here" and she just willfully ignores the fact that his way of coping with his UTM trauma was suffocating her and making it impossible to deal with her own issues and when she pointed it out to him he had a panic attack about it. Also, at this point it kinda hits her that shes been spending all this time with Tamlins enemy and feeling this affection for him that she hasnt really felt for Tamlin ever since theyve been back from UTM and their relationship started getting really bad, so now she feels very guilty and wants to rush into a marriage with him after all. Also, maybe by this point shes revovered enough to take a step back and start focusing on her surroundings again instead of just herself, and she realises that the people of the Spring Court would really need this kind of big celebration after this long time of turmoil and suffering, so maybe that plays into her decision to marry Tamlin as well idk

Meanwhile, Rhysand is back at the night court absolutely CONVINCED that Feyre is gonna come back to him even without the bargain or atleast send him a message or something, because of the mating bond and because by this point he thinks that Feyre loves him back, she just hasnt said it because Tamlin interrupted them or whatever. Yknow, because Feyre stopped throwing shoes at him and started to tolerate his presence somewhat, which are obviously the surefire signs that someone is in love with you. But anyway, Feyre never does get back to him because shes busy with her wedding and also trying very hard not think about either Rhysand or Tamlin too much so she doesnt simply run out into the forest to avoid dealing with all this bullshit

So yeah, Rhysand finds out about Feyre marrying Tamlin and he gets very upset and so he winnows to the Spring Court on the day of the wedding. Feyre has just been dressed up in this gorgeous pastel pink and green pantssuit (thats very important for the story) and now Ianthe is leaving her alone for a bit before the grand wedding ceremony. At this point Rhysand comes in and they have a confrontation thats basically just the song except in dialogue-form, remember when this post was about a song I really like, yeah me neither. During this confrontation I really want Rhysand to bring up the mating bond and kinda throw it in her face and I want Feyre to basically respond "oh, so now the guy who always preached about giving me choices and not letting others decide for me is gonna get on my case for not doing what some god wants from me, gtfo" and thats basically how it ends. Then the next book is the book where Feyre hay to make the choice between Tamlin and Rhysand because its a romance series at the end of the day, so even though I would like the last book to just be Feyre ending up single and going on her own adventures, I recognize that thats not a great ending for a romance series so

I wanna end this off by saying that I was trying to only focus on the romance for this because its easier, if I were to write my ideal acotar sequel it would look different than this even if I used the original acomaf as a base. So yeah, thats it hope you enjoyed my 7am ramblings, I have been awake for three hours already writing this

So im back

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone you know you should like but you just cant bring yourself to fall in love with them, even though they love you in a way nobody else ever has? Thats the nightmare im currently living.

Im sure i sound like a real bitch for saying this, but i dont love my boyfriend. Not even a little bit. Its a combination of his looks and every single story hes told me about his life. And also the way his house is.

He lives in what could be a very nice house but unfortunately he shares it with 2 of his friends who live the exact same way he does, which i guess is the same way most men in their twenties live. All three of them stay in their rooms and play video games. All day. They only leave their rooms to go to work, get food, or use the bathroom; and honestly i wouldnt put it past any of them to keep an empty 2 liter next to their desk to piss in. One of them (not my boyfriend) keeps his pocket pussy in the communal bathroom. WHYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?! Thats literally one of the nastiest things ive ever heard. Theres a tub of sour cream in the bottom of the fridge from the previous owners. Theyve been in that house for almost 3 years, know its there, and yet they just toss it back in the fridge and say theyll deal with it later. I cant make this shit up.

My boyfriend though, is a fucking freak weirdo. To begin with, it took us dating for 6 months to even have any sort of intimate contact. And when we finally did, big shock, it was awful. I literally went dry while he was inside of me and had to pretend i was drunk to cover up the fact that im so repulsed by him that i cant stay wet. That has been the only time we've fucked. Its 2 months later.

It drives me fucking crazy. My last relationship lasted 4 months and i felt more in love then than i ever have now. And thats depressing as fuck. It just really is. I need someone i have passion with. One of my favorite things is just making out with someone. And i feel like my chances to do that with people is just fleeting as im getting older. And i mean im not really that old yet, but it feels like i am. I just have no passion, lust, love, anything with this guy.

Ive been wanting to break up with him for awhile and i was finally gonna do it after putting it off for a few months and his fucking grandma died today. Because of course thats how it would go. I swear to god sometimes it feels like im being cosmically punished by some higher being.

Aside from my boring awful relationship, ive got some rebound prospects on the horizon. Four of them, to be more specific. Well, i guess 3, could be 4 if one of them got their head out of their ass. And i shouldnt even say relationship, its definitely more situationship/hookup. All guys from my past, obviously. And of course theres one that i want more than any of them and that would be my friend jordan.

I cannot even begin to tell you how long ive liked him and wanted to date him. I want him in a way that makes me feel the longing of a thousand lifetimes and whenever he gets a girlfriend next im gonna kill her, him, and then myself. It goes beyond lust with him, because for the longest time i told myself thats all it was. But about a month ago, he was over at my apartment and he cried in front of me. Multiple times. If any other guy did that, i would immediately get the ick. But i didnt with him. I sat there and comforted him and held him and told him it would all be ok.

And whats been my thanks for that? Being left on read for like 4 weeks. Its like, ok fuck me, cool got it.

God i need to talk about something else. I need to stop talking about him and thinking about him all the time. Its literally pathetic. Ive asked him so many times to just point blank tell me he just wants to fuck; that way i can let go of any notion that we could end up dating and i can remove myself from him in that way. But he wont. And i dont know why. it hurts so much that he cant even do that for me. Despite it all, if he were to mesage me right now and ask if he could come over i would let him. I would let him gut me like a fish and eat my liver and kidneys and other organs if he said he was that hungry. I really would.

"Wade, the girls are here."

"What?"

"The girls. Are. Here!"

"There goes a hare?"

*violently gestures to their daughters*

"Oooh! Look, honey the girls are here!"

*old man face palm*

Laura and Gabby coming to take care of them sometimes, bringing them food, bringing them medicine and constantly nagging at them to take it easy (but theyre both stubborn so they don't) they bring them to gatherings at the mansion on the holidays, refusing to let them be alone.

".. I don't want to go."

"Dad you gotta. They miss you. We all do."

But logan isn't dumb. He's already been to all of their funerals, all of their childrens funerals, and even some grandchildren's funerals. Jeans been dead for over a thousand years. Xavier has been dead for longer.

"Papa. Tell him to come. We can bring Puppins."

Ellie, who's 16 again (because her power keeps regenerating her to a teenage, but she ages normally otherwise) tells her, begging her father to come and do things with her step sisters.

"Come on. I'll drive you." Gabby, who's turned into a fine young lady over the years, barley looking 35 (I might be wrong but I swear she has the same healing as laura and if thats true then shes still alive, I thought she could scar tho so many shes filled with scars and shows wade how proud she is of them)

As proud as they both are of their girls, something just dosn't feel right even going on that side of town. The school by now has fallen apart millions of times and changes slightly with each rebuild. Logan doesn't even recognize it anymore.

They would rather stay in, with themselves. Wade curled up against him, rubbing in between his knuckles, logans head lazily laid against him as they watch a show over 500 years old, their home considered extremely lowtech compared to modern day. They have several "vintage" items like a ps5, which is nothing compared to the ps5X which was releasing later this year to celebrate their 50th playstation. The games have stopped working, their 800 year old laptop collecting dust in a drawer, letters and notes stacked high in a shoe box under the bed, the freezer full of left overs that their daughters keep bringing them.

It sounds depressing but.. theyre happy. Decently anyway minus Wade's once a month breakdown in which he tries to skin himself or clings to Logan for an entire 18 hours straight because hes terrified of him leaving him alone when he dies.

Sure, they've tried to off themselves together a ton already. Making a game out of it a couple hundred or so years ago but now the idea was boring. Theyve tried everything. Explosions, jumping off cliffs, hell, wade handcuffed himself to Logan and shoved him off a boat in the middle of the ocean. Logan almost died but Wade was tired of coming back to life only to drown again 3 times and decided fuck it then dragged logan out before he could actually die because "Ill be damned if your ass gets to leave me! You said eternity mother fucker!" While Logan threw up sea water. "You cant be mad at me because YOU cant die!? This was your idea! I hate drowning! If I wanted too I would have done it years ago!"

And then wade cried because the realization that Logan was only staying here FOR HIM made him extremely emotional. It makes him feel selfish. But "For eternity motherfucker" has been their thing for so long, and a promise is a promise.

So now, here Wade is, his eyes completely glazed over (he has no clue how he can see, he literally is blind but somehow he's not.) Crow feet on the sides of them that Logan absolutly adores when ever he can get Wade to laugh (because god knows they could be 5000 and they will still make each other laugh)

Also- The honeymoon phase never ended. And the fact that down there stopped working about 500 years ago does not stop Wade from slapping his ass- Only to immediately apologize because of how hurt his joints are, knees, ankles, toes, fingers, elbows, wrists, knuckles, hips, you name it- it hurts. Sometimes if Wade is feeling down about how he looks, Logan will whisper something really dirty to him in which Wade will giggle and look at him fondly. "You know damn well you can't do that anymore but im more then willing to try~"

The whole "Wade can't have a sexless relationship" thing was proven false about 300 years ago and while hes frustrated as fuck about it, he's kind of glad. (Though he had an entire crisis when he realized that logan didnt infact stay with him for almost 700 years becuse of his uber good dick skills but rather his personality-)

Theyve been through almost everything together. Even brief apocalypses. Saved the universe more then they could remember, had multiple life times worth of good memories to fondly talk about on rainy days, and have prived time and time again to one another that the other wasn't leaving them. No matter what.

Between the countless fights and arguments, now Logan shouted from his chair "Wade?" After each nap just to be sure he was still alive and here with him, honestly a little more scared of wade leaving him so he wouldn'thave to face the heart break then wade was of logan dying. (That's a ton)

"What?" He'd call back, not wanting to spook him because if too upset Logan will infact stand and force himself to walk. Hell- sometimes wade catches him "walking" puppins by wandering outside with her. Puppins by now is like a 'I went to the backyard and now im tired' kind of older dog, her tail wagging so hard some days that it breaks only to heal itself. Shes been killed by several things. Traffic, coyotes, chocolate, etc but always pops back up. (Tell you what, Wade panicking and hollering for Puppins at midnight after a coyote snatched her, watching her get attacked and taken only for her to come back in one piece, happy go lucky, was something that haunted Logan to this day).

Most nights, they're in bed by 6 pm, and by that I mean they lay there and cuddle for hours until finally their bones joints and muscles stop hurting enough for them to fall asleep.

A thought I would like you to sit on and think about:

When they get old, Poolverine, I mean, and logans easily about 1206 while wades like 1047. Wade obviously doesn't need tonworry about grey hairs and adores logans white hairs, but how would Wade look? Would he get wrinkles? Would he look only 60ish, look much younger than logan since he's almost 50 and looks barely 26? Is he skinner? Just how badly has his body aged? Disregarding comic lore- I wanna know your opinion. Would Logan struggle to walk around? Will the tables turn and he is now part time in a wheel chair? Whats their day like? Cabin in the woods is nice but that requires hunting and long trips to the store. Is puppins old too? Since she's a deadpool shes technically "immortal" too dont you think? How many times a week do they just sit infront of the fire at night, talking about their youth and stories? ... how many funerals have they attended? Do they even bother making friends anymore? Do you think that theyve learned to isolate themsleves from the world and become so codependent that they do absolutely everything together? Do you think in this older state that it takes them longer to heal? Can logan even use his claws anymore or does he soley rely on guns now?

Okay....I have so many thoughts. So many.

So firstly, discussing the way they age. I assume that Wade, because of how his regeneration works, stays the same age. His body always regenerates to that same state- the same age and condition- his body was in when he mutated, which is partly why the cancer is still eating away at his body. I don't think he really will ever age. Maybe his scars change a little over the years, getting rougher and redder as he ages.

I think he does get skinnier- less muscley- purely from them eventually putting up their suits for good and settling in to a more domestic life. I don't think he can put on weight because of the cancer, and I think the chronic pain gets worse too. He has more bad days where he can't really do much but lay in a warm bathtub and wait for the heat to fix his aching muscles.

If he does age though? If his body finally gives in and let's him get older? He is probably a mess, both physically and mentally. Wade feels bittersweet about gaining wrinkles and his hearing worsening. On one hand, he's glad that the world has allowed him the luxury, on the other? He hates that he lookes even worse than he did before. The scars start to turn brighter shades of red, the skin wrinkling and sagging in places, and it makes him even more insecure of how he looks.

Either way, his healing gets a little slower and he can feel the cancer trying to fight it's way in.

Mary Puppins is much the same. She doesn't really get older, just gets tired a little easier, and shakes if it gets too cold.

Logan? Logan ages SLOWLY. Very slowly. Eventually, though, he's getting aches and pains like everyone else, accompanied by wrinkles and joint pain. The claws stop working at some point. They refuse to cooperate with him, and eventually, he gives up. The constant ache of them sat idle causes his hands to shake slightly, and it's something he doesn't really like talking about. The one thing he was good at, and now? Now they don't even work.

I think Logan would panic a little at the idea of ageing- used to practically being the same for so long- but he would accept it pretty quickly. He would be kinda glad at the idea of finally getting older, finally being able to do something 'normal', even if it means he isn't as fast or agile anymore. They aren't sure if it's the poison from the adamantium or not, but his breathing gets a little weaker too. His healing slows down too, and it takes alot longer to heal from the tiniest cut- which he assumes is because his healing factor is trying to deal with the whole aging thing.

Wade would be the one having a full on meltdown. After so long, he finally had someone who 'matched his freak'- someone who truly understood his pain and trauma, someone who wouldn't die on him- and now, here he was, staring at the first sign of a grey hair on Logan's head. It reminds him that one day, he really will be alone, no matter what. Logan isn't going to be around forever, but Wade will.

Once Wade isn't panicking about Logan getting old, and once they realise that Logan is going to continue to deteriorate, they move to a little one floor house just outside of the city. There are no stairs, which helps Logan's aching hips, and the walk in shower (you know what I mean) is ready for when neither of them can get in and out of the tub anymore. They make sure Mary has a nice comfortable bed next to the fireplace, and Logan gets a big enough couch that him and Wade can fall asleep comfortably if they need too.

They don't really talk to anyone after all these years. After watching everyone they love pass away, they don't feel the need to make friends anymore. Logan and Wade both can't deal with the idea of watching someone they love waste away again- not now that they are both ageing themselves.

All they care about now is eachother- and Mary Puppins- and they take care of eachother as best as they can. Logan makes Wade heat packs and helps him clean up whe he vomits, Wade helps Logan move about when he isn't in a wheelchair and massages the aching muscles in between his knuckles.

It's tough, but they manage. They survive by keeping the other alive, and even though they know it'll end badly- either Logan is going to die and leave Wade, or they are both going to die together- it never stops their need to keep eachother safe.

Logan has to watch Wade as the cancer slowly starts to fight back and win, while Wade has to watch Logan age and the possibility of the poison taking over.

(Not the most coherent post, but I had so many random thoughts about it that I wanted to put in here lol, so here it is. Also GREAT QUESTION??? LIKE YES?? GIMME OLD MAN LOGAN AND OLD WADE HAVING TO LOOK AFTER EACHOTHER??)

Casonverse Expo

ok so after you see this you Cannot save it. the whole thing about the casonverse is that its solely “oral” and memory based. i cannot write down “rules” to it or anything. this post Will be lost to time and youll just have to deal with that

ok so. we begin. our story. w/ an explanation on how ectobiology has been going on earth c. basically, every once in a while to increase genetic diversity, a babeh between two of the original founders is created randomly, and said founders get to decide if they want to adopt that babeh or not.

now its been a very very long time on earth c and all of these bitches are immortal. yep. every single one. even the non godtiers, they get an immortality boon for winning the game. you know whats also a boon? all of the players getting revived. yep. every single one. because this is my au and i can do what i want.

anyways as i was saying basically at some point a babeh between john and karkat is made and this time theyre like “yeah ok well adopt this one” SO. they be goin there. and the ONE TIME they decide this is the right time the baby is fuckin BROKE. the internal organs of trolls and humans dont mesh very well when the genes are combined in the ectomachine, and this baby is basically just dying very slowly. this baby isssss Casey! well, shes not named that by her parents, but well just call her Casey for now.

john and karkat do their fuckin best to keep this thing alive but her tiny baby body is completely dysfunctional. and doesnt last very long. This is Traumatizing for Everyone Involved. anyways!! a pretty long time after that we have Cason and Jones. they were spawned at the same time. Jones is rose and kanayas horrible ectospawn, and Cason happens to be another equally horrible spawn between john and karkat! they decide to adopt this one, and fortunately it lives. This was Their First Mistake.

but before we get into Cason, lets get into Jones. Jones is,,,, very socially awkward. in fact, she often comes off as creepy to everyone else. this makes her very clingy towards her mothers, who arent That terrible at parenting. theyve got quirks, but theyre good for her. Jones doesnt really have any friends, except this Totally Cool and Not at All Dangerous cult she gets dragged into! this is the second secret shes ever kept from her mothers. the first is that shes the one who keeps bringing snails into the house. Jones likes snails, but shes not good at taking care of them. she just keeps bringing them into the house and feeding them her snack. her snack is rat poison. snails like and digest rat poison safely. snails! she likes them.

ALSO APPARENTLY SHE CAN SEE GHOSTS???? yeah lets get into that. see, Casey becomes a Regular Ghost after she dies. not a dream ghost, just a plain ol ghost. and anyways, shes around the same age as everyone else if not a year older due to Ghost Rules now, and Cason is the only one that seems to be able to see her. and then theres Jones. Jones is absolutely stunning to Casey and yes she falls so hard in dokis. but Jones is trying to ignore the fact that she can see ghosts. it makes her feel like even more of an outcast. ooooo drama! anyways those two have their own background plot going on about fighting eldritch gods or something idk.

LETS GET BACK TO CASON. see. Cason. is The Worst. like, genuinely. ever since he was a kiddo, he was a completely spoiled brat from day one, and spent his childhood Looking Down on People for multiple reasons. for one, hes the son of TWO FUCKING FOUNDERS AND RAISED BY THEM, two he got away with EVERYTHING, and three i think its just in his nature. Cason prides himself in being knowledgeable and better than everyone else, but he is not like Other Egomaniacs((tm.))

Cason doesnt necessarily care about being liked, even if he WAS a great manipulator, or being the best at Everything. he couldnt care less about sports or popularity. all he wants, is Control. just like hes had since day one. This is Terrible for Everyone Involved.

but most terrible for anyone, is Tippie Piyjon. Tippie is terezi and nepetas ectospawn, which, really started it all. now, terezi and nepeta are not horrible people, or even necessarily horrible parents, but theyre just not suited for it. Tippie raised herself on romance novels and the like, especially after being sortve taken in as a goddaughter by karkat almost immediately after she was born. and, because of this, she got to meet Cason very early on. there was hardly ever a day where the two werent around eachother, whether they liked it or not. in school, at their own house, wherever. now, being around Cason of all people all the time, meant you knew exactly how he operated.

and well, Tippie figured that, maybe, if she was just good enough, she could change him. and Cason used that to his full advantage. the two became moirails, which was Fucked Up for Everyone Involved, and grew ever closer. now Cason, being Cason, was Extremely Emotionally Abusive to Tippie. she had to do what he asked, whatever it was, even if it wasnt morally right, she had to stay by his side, she couldnt cry in front of his parents, she had to get good grades so he wouldnt look bad, so many damn things she had to do. even if he never once laid a finger on her, her mental health was, slowly but surely, chiseled down.

every attempt at defying him was met with such coldness, or hed act more warm towards her, so surely she was doing something right and had to keep going. just had to be good enough. hell get better eventually. Cason earns the title of #1 Gaslighter Extraordinare. the only place she found any solace away from him was grubscouts, which she joined on her own terms when she was very young, and at the time was a camp counselor even! this lasted. for so many years.

Cason is nineteen whenever i depict him, and Tippie is seventeen, but very nearly eighteen. eventually, she cant take it anymore, and snaps at him. usually this doesnt last, and he would manage to calm her down eventually, but shes fucking Tired of it. he hasnt changed. not even a bit. well. Cason cant have that, now can he? the first time he lays a hand on her, he slaps her across the face. Big Mistake. though terrified, Tippie lashes out, and claws Casons left eye out, making a terribly deep gash that would leave him permanently blind in that eye whether or not he got treatment.

this scares the SHIT out of her, and Tippie runs off, for the first time, to her mothers. as she cries, she recounts how terrible everythings been and how she didnt mean it and shes sorry and- theres nothing to apologize for. its very clear, that they shouldve stepped in sooner, shouldve noticed something was wrong. meanwhile, Cason crawls home to his own dads, who are rightfully spooked seeing their son with a horrifically bloody face and a gouged eyeball. they only had a second to try and comfort him, before he snapped at them, showing a bit of his true nature to them for the first time, and also, terezi showing up behind him. after a thorough explanation which was mostly just a few stern, if a little tearful words, Casons parents are completely mortified. karkat quickly kicks him out in an act of raw emotion. no chance to grab clothes, or for john to interject, Cason is left outside, alone, and with absolutely no power left. what will he do?

theres also other characters but theyre like babies so they dont have much characterization and also arent very important to the story. but here they are ig:

owen, jade and daves child. hes like, 3. he likes sticks and playing in mud. hes 3 what more do you want from him

siyren, aradia and feferis kiddo. shes like, 6. she likes ballet, arts and crafts, and being snooty

damien, eridan and solluxs kid. hes 10, likes calling people slurs over xbox, and overcompensating since his parents waited so damn long to adopt him after his slimebirth

the one where you’re someone else. [donghyuck] [part 1]

lee donghyuck x reader // words // high school!au // body switch!au

summary; in which you wake up in someone else’s body. more than once.

warnings: swearing, confusion, terrible enemies to lovers trope

requested; nope

“So, is your face just... like that, or do you consciously have a permanent frown?” Donghyuck looks you up and down, his eyes narrowed. The left side of his mouth lifts up slightly at the way you raise an eyebrow at him.

“Have you ever toyed with the thought that it’s just you that I dislike?” You look at him briefly, standing on the other side of your open locker door, unluckily located right beside his. Since he began the conversation, he’d closed his locker so now he was leaning against the door in a stance that was all too casual and all too annoying. You could swear you could smell his bad breath from where you were standing. Your nose wrinkles at the thought.

“Ooh, ‘dislike’, ” a wide smile makes its way onto his face. “Didnt you ‘hate’ me yesterday? You’re not going soft on me, are you?”

Rolling your eyes, you decide not to grace him with a response. Instead, you look up to the top corner of your locker where you’d tacked your class schedule. Donghyuck’s gaze flicks from your face to the top of corner of your locker door, as if he could see through the metal.

Easily reaching over the door’s edge, his hand finds the piece of paper before you can work out what your first class of the day is. He easily pulls it from its position, looking at it, “Whats this?” Looking up at you, he feigns hurt, placing a hand over his heart, “Aw, y/n. Did you forget we have history together? I’m disappointed.��

“Very funny,” you deadpan. You hold out a hand, “Give it back.”

“History, literature, calculus,” he reads your schedule for the day out loud, but you’re unsure which day he’s reading since he’d taken it before you could see.

“Donghyuck.” His eyes snap up to look at you through his lashes; he can sense your growing frustration.

“Y/n,” he mocks. He holds it over his head, “Take it.”

You’re so sick of him.

You simply raise your hand, not making any effort to jump or stand taller. At some point he’s going to have to get bored of this game.

But you haven’t noticed his other hand reopening his locker. As quickly as he’d taken it from your locker, he places it in his own, quickly shutting the door. You stand in stunned silence as he bends down to pick his backpack up from where it has been previously sitting by his feet.

“See you in history, y/n,” he smirks. Asshole.

You watch him go, and as soon as he’s rounded the corner, you reach over as subtly as you can and play with his locker handle. No use. But a few odd looks from people walking past who can see you rattling the handle.

With a huff, you grab your books for history and start walking in the direction of your homeroom. On second thought, you walk back to your locker and stuff a few of your other textbooks in it, ignoring the weight and deciding its better to be prepared for any class you have next than be late to go get books.

——————

“Well if it isn’t the hunchback of notre dam,” Jongho greets, watching as you wearily place your backpack at your feet beside your usual cafeteria table.

“Yeah, well, Mr Lim made me stay back and i didn’t want to get stuck in the long lines so I came straight here. Call me when the bell needs to be rung,” you stretch your arms over your head, feeling your back crack as you move.

“Why are you carrying all your books?” San looks wearily into your backpack.

“Forget your locker combo?” Wooyoung asks, then sits back in his seat, stretching out in a cocky manner. “Been there before. Busted my lock a month in, and now it doesn’t even work!”

Seonghwa rolls his eyes and leans forward on his elbows, “Seriously, y/n, I could hear your back cracking from over here.”

“Donghyuck took my schedule and I didn’t know what classes I had, so I packed for all,” you shrug, not really seeing an issue with your idea. It’s not like you were walking long distances, anyway.

“Seriously? He’s still messing with you?” San’s brows furrow.

“Yeah, because she’s still messing with him,” Yunho laughs, and then laughs harder when you shrug in agreement.

“Why didn’t you just use your phone?” Hongjoong asks, spooning a mouthful of soggy salad onto San’s tray, who looks at the food in disgust. He pushes the tray away and settles his attention back onto you. You suddenly feel like an idiot for not checking your phone. At least you won’t have to carry your books around for the rest of the day.

“What did you do to him?!” Wooyoung excitedly turns around in his seat, eager to hear what brought on such a bitter revenge.

“Okay, so maybe, someone took something from him and he didn’t like it so much,” you look at them all in turn. “But no one knows who did it, and there’s no evidence to say i did-“

“But there’s definitely motive,” Jongho smirks.

“I don’t think pure undying hatred counts as a motive.” You raise an eyebrow at Seonghwa’s dry tone, but he just shrugs in response.

“No, he ‘accidentally’ squirted her with a hose at the car wash fundraiser,” Yunho laughs, recalling the memory of you shrieking from the cold water.

“Because she ‘forgot’ to turn off the tap and he got a hose to the face, right?” Yeosang pipes up, his chin resting in his hand on the table.

“Jesus, y/n, it’s impossible to keep up with you two,” Seonghwa throws his hands up in defeat.

“Well, he started it, so every time I retaliate it’s just me trying to settle the score,” you try and explain in the most innocent tone you can muster. He rolls his eyes but you can see the small smile that settles on his face as he looks away from you.

“What are you going to do?” San’s eyes widen at the look in your eye.

“I’m not sure,” you think, glancing quickly over your shoulder at the lunch line, which you still haven’t joined. It’s shorter now that most people in this lunch block have already sat down, and you feel your stomach rumble. Almost immediately, you spot the person in question, joking with a few of his friends in line. “I’m gonna get some food. I’ll be right back.”

Grabbing a tray from the stand, you join the line, only a few people behind them. While playfully shoving Jeno, Donghyuck’s eyes find you over Jeno’s shoulder.

“Hey, y/n!” He calls out.

You pretend not to hear.

He smiles wider; he knows exactly what you’re doing. Raising his voice slightly, he calls out again.

Once again, you ignore him.

Renjun shakes his head as he hits Donghyuck on the arm, but Donghyuck’s eyes don’t leave your face, which are intently searching the room. He pushes Renjun’s hand away and then raises his voice an impossible amount, “Y/n! Over here!” It feels like all eyes have turned your way.

You startle at the sudden outburst, and you look to him in exasperation. At the sight of his smirk, you bristle, roll your shoulders back and quietly respond, “What?” You pretend not to notice the people who are still watching you.

“Wanna join us in line?” Donghyuck gestures down to the floor at his feet in a way that makes you think he’s up to something.

“I’m not cutting line,” you say.

Without missing a beat, he shoves the shoulder of the person nearest to him, which just so happens to be Renjun, who is still standing right beside him. With a quick shove, Renjun stumbles out of line and between two nearby cafeteria tables. With a bright smile, Donghyuck gestures to the space Renjun had previously been standing, “Its not cutting if no people are added to the line.”

“It’s still cutting,” you say, your expression showing how bored you were of this conversation.

He doesn’t have time to respond as Renjun comes flying into Donghyuck, swearing (you presume) at him in Chinese. You didn’t know much about Renjun, with the exception of the fact that he’s Chinese and hangs out with Donghyuck. It was due to the latter that you hadnt really been excited to speak to him. Right now, you take a quick liking to the guy.

The argument continues as the line moves, and you take your tray around them to get your lunch, making your way to your table before theyve even begun paying for their food.

“What was that about?” Yunho asks as soon as you’ve sat down, his eyebrows furrowing as he looks over your head to where Donghyuck and his friends are walking to their own table. Renjun appears to be the only one not laughing.

“I don’t know, but Donghyuck tried to give up Renjuns spot in line for me,” you look down at your food, eyeing the cold french fried on your tray, cringing.

“How... nice of him?” Wooyoung says, and one look around the group makes you all simultaneously burst out into laughter.

reasons i am sad (friendship edition)

in year 4 my best friend invited everyone to her birthday party and not me and they all actually kept it a secret really well they almost pulled it off except she held her party in la plaza which basically is the hangout spot for families in that area i spent all my fridays there playing until midnight bc literally everyone from school would go. so i was walking home with my entire family inc grandparents and uncles and we went through la plaza and there they were! every single one of my friends at her party! apparently her mum didnt let her invite me bc apparently i hit her which i didn’t i hit another girl so her excuse is invalid and its the first time ive been so publicly excluded i cried on a bench.

in year 7 we hated this girl bc she was so fake i genuinely believe she is a psychopath like she has all the symptoms except shes in set 5 maths lol so my friend was like what if i spread a rumour about her and i was like lol do it and she did and for some reason i was blamed??? and lost all of my friends and she bullied me so hard but i didnt realise bc i was “friends” with her bc our mums were friends so shed like walk with me to lessons and talk to me while belittleing me and idk she was just a fucking bitch she made me feel so horrible like it was emotional bullying but also like telling everyone who i liked and saying lmao you literally have no friends “count how many friends you have? omg you literally cant even reach ten can you???” like in front of everyone but then shed also be really nice to me at the same time like idk it was like she was my friend but she bullied me it was so horrible saffa i hate you and the original friend who spread the rumour went on to become her best friend for like 6 years so uh hate that

managed to make friends with people not in my class in year 8! which sucked bc saffa had alienated people in my class so now they all just didnt like me i was the weird girl with no friends because of her and it was so horrible bc id always be forced to join the ready made groups between friends by the teacher bc i didnt have a group to work with or id get paired with the weird girl like i was only the weird girl after saffa made everyone hate me this girl was weird bc she just is idk

in year 10 they made a gc without me! i basically created that group tho like i gathered these friends i hade made in different lessons (obviously not in my main class lol) and they literally just??? decided to exclude me for no reason. and then theyd talk about what they talked about in the gc in front of me like “omg remember last night on the gc” isha ur so fucking boring no normal person talks about their gc with the same people again do u have no other conversational points smh

in year 11 it got so bad to the point where once i sat with them and they all just left! like they took their stuff and moved to the table behind me i wanted to cry so bad i did at home i think its the worst one out of all of these because it happened to my face? idk saffa was horrible too but this was just “were leaving” idk like ive never felt as horrible as i did in that moment i cant even describe how im feeling rn reliving it

its okay bc i made friends with my best friend from sciences + history bc our surnames are next to each other so we always sat together! i honestly clung to this girl after that bc i refused to spend a second longer with that other group after 3 years of enduring not even being liked by ur friends so i made friends with her friends which was easy bc yes!

so by the first term of year 12 i had three friends! in fact one of them was like ur not having a birthday party??? im taking u out to eat so my first birthday event thing in literally years was all thanks to arun i am honestly so grateful for him he didnt even go bc he was busy and we planned it the day before my birthday but it was literally me and two friends eating pizza at zizzis and im crying so much rn but year 12 was when i found people who genuinely cared about me

we established a group of like 8 lol and were planning a holiday for the end of year 13! very skam of us! we had a gc and everything! we were gonna go to spain bc im spanish so i could speak!

this trip was unspoken of in year 13 and i was like lol kinda weird um okay but nope nothing weird about it they just created a chat without me and were still going to spain!!! one of them even sent me screenshots of their airbnb to translate its like u want me to know lol

i did complain to one of them but thats it i was just hurt on my own and coronavirus happened so it got cancelled anyways so i won really

in yr 13 i also got closer to this boy called adam! i remember my friend was like you two would get on so well idk why ur not friends and i was like idk its adam lol do i really want to and yes i did bc he is in fact the isak to my sana! but anyways i hate him but i love him we have that kinda friendship where were alwAYS trying to beat the other one up and honestly the most heart felt goodbye when schools shut was between us both bc at first we were fighting and then he just stopped and his eyes softened and i was like whats wrong with you why arent u punching me and he went come here and we hugged and its like wow despite being a dick ill miss you

anyways so uhhh quarantine we skyped often it was fun and then restrictions were lifted i went to spain and the second i land they all stop talking in the gc????? like im abroad not dead why are u creating a new one??? this gc was agressively spammed so i know for a fact theres another im not stupid

i come back from spain and theyre like can we meet!!! we meet three weeks later and theyr like i missed u so much im so happy uou came i love you and it felt really genuine like they genuinely missed me

two days later i find out through snapchat theyve all gone on holiday together!!!!!!!!!!!!! all of them and just ofc didnt invite me they went to the beach for two days and kept posting about it and im so bitter about it like bro???????? why so secretive????? like i cried so much when i saw bc they still just idk why does every single friendgroup ive ever been in exclude me like i must be the problem theres no other explanation for it i am not the kind of person people want to have around i am so funny but im a bitch and will come for ur ass because i have the inability to lie i have no filter either which i know makes them dislike me i know it does but thats the price you oay for being my friend i just say things as it is becauxe i hate secrets bc secrets are always about excluding me so i rather be honest and upfront but that clearly puts people off bc im too upfront and im not getting a personality transplant im not tryna be boring but im so sick of always being the one on her own

adam was relevant uh hews my only friend rn he checked up on me the other day so cheers adam for making sure im not completely isolated

the funny thing is that all my friends hate adam bc “hes a dick” hes not he just says things how it is were so similar so if they hate adam they hate me and im over being hated lol bye!

i start uni next week and i clearly have no social skills so im not gonna make friends im so scared of being lonely i hate being left out

this went from sad to full on angry like i was crying at some point and now im fuming like im so hot rn my blood pressure isnt doing okay

#my manifesto #sua: extreme #venting #xoxo #no ones had more friendship drama than me i refuse to believe it #this is 1526 words long #shut up ali

u know that riverparents as mythical beings post that u made? could you elaborate on it? like what would parentdale be like as a supernatural drama

oh fun! (this post for anyone who missed out)

hals the only one missing from that post (well, i guess clifford too but i never count him cuz he died in season 1 lmao) so we’re either working in the timeline that he died or we gotta come up with something for him but i cant think of anything right now so... dead he is

supernatural!parentdale would be like midnight texas, i think. just riverdale being this small town thats a portal (or whatever the explanation was on mt i dont remember) where all these different mythical beings congregate and shit goes down that they gotta stop

alice being a vampire and gladys being a werewolf... sworn enemies... forbidden love.... sexy, is all im saying.

oh hal could be one of the 4 horsemen? since tom is death. hal could be famine. (marty could be war, miles could be pestilence. boom. there we go)

hirams going around as a chaotic trickster god fucking everyones shit up cuz hes bored and loves drama lmao literally no different than regular human!hiram honestly

JUST GOT AN IMAGE OF FP AND PENELOPE HAVING THESE FIRE POWERS LINKED TO THEIR EMOTIONS SO WHENEVER THEYRE IN A HIGH EMOTIONAL STATE SHIT JUST STARTS BURNING AND I THINK THERES A LOT WE CAN SAY THERE ABOUT THEIR CHILDHOOD TRAUMAS AND HOW THEY CANT CONTROL THEIR POWERS AND THEY INADVERTENTLY CAUSE A LOT OF DESTRUCTION (although i think penelope got control of her powers long before fp did i see her like... setting small shit on fire or causing small explosions when someone pisses her off while she walks away calmly... fp, however. whew. he destroys everything but its never on purpose. also... idk who else here is a fan of australian kids television but if yall saw h2o - that scene where rikki and zane are kissing but rikki doesnt have control of her heat powers yet so shes like.... fucking boiling zane alive while theyre kissing and she has no idea until he like passes out and is all red and theres fire everywhere.... yeah)

fred as a ghost is some sad shit and im only here to make it sadder but LISTEN. there is something to be said for the fact that he’s the only person fp cant hurt because he has no body lmao and like... leave it to fp to fall in love with a fucking dead guy but ya know, thats his life. so then they have this whole arc of fred helping fp work through his shit and get control of his powers (listen idk how dragons work like i know dragon aus exist but ive never read them so... this is my own interpretation) while simultaneously fp is helping fred figure out how to cross over because thats what all ghosts are trying to do. and it ultimately has this bittersweet ending where theyve both helped each other but fred has to go and its real sad and im honestly about to start crying so we’re moving on

oh i just got an idea for fred and fp but this is the only gif of it i can find but:

FP TRYING TO TOUCH FRED BUT HE CANT! WHEW! my life to whomever wants to write this fic im just saying...

hermione as a witch is real funny to me cuz usually in these supernatural dramas the witch characters are always sacrificing themselves for everyone else and theyre the ones everyone goes to for help and they always have to save the day but hermione is just not that bitch lmao like, dont get me wrong, she does end up helping everyone and saving the day.... but she’s not happy about it. she does love to put hexes on people tho and she’s a savvy business woman who sells a bunch of fake shit to hipster “witches” cuz its trendy but she would never give away her real magic (her and hiram together... powerful)

mary is very much the protector of everybody (i mean, a lot of them have protector qualities but mary, as an angel, is the leader). like yeah shes sweet and loving and caring but shes also very much a biblical angel and will fuck some shit up. she is powerful. do not mess with her

sierras like a true blood fairy. minus the orgies maybe. or maybe she likes the orgies i dont know her life, thats up to her. but sierra shooting light balls out of her hands is a 10/10 concept i can see is so clearly in my minds eye.

please feel free, anybody, to ask more questions about this au cuz im sure i have more to say. supernatural dramas were my shit from like... honestly my entire life but admittedly i havent been as into them in a while (probably cuz there arent any good ones anymore... middle school-high school was like the peak years of that media tbh)

Hi! Sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you could tell me where to find a like. Plot synopsis/layout for the beetlejuice musical? I tried looking online but I couldn’t find anything, and I thought if anyone would know it would be you! Thanks!

I can give it a shot!!!

Also heads up to anyone that usually avoids musical spoilers but figures they don’t need to for this because theyve seen the movie, the plots very different!

Quick Summary first for anyone who doesnt want spoilers but wants to know if it’s smth they’d be interested in:

A demon invisible to everyone but other ghosts schemes to become visible to humans by first manipulating a newlydead couple, and then the living daughter of the family who moves into the deceased couple’s home.

(i’ll include song names so you can have an idea of where you are in the plot when listening to the album)Basically, the story starts with Lydia Deetz at her mother’s funeral, singing a short song Invisible about how she feels invisible and abandoned in her grief. After she leaves Beetlejuice comes, sings a song The Whole Being Dead Thing that’s basically introducing the show to the audience and warning that it will be unapologetically about death, and then after the song explains to the audience that he is a demon caught between the world of the living and the dead. He can’t interact with humans, unlike ghosts who while invisible can still do ghost-y things to them like possession, moving things, etc, and wants to change that (in a cut part of this scene that was somewhere between previews and the final frozen version of the show for broadway he explains that he scared too many humans to death and that’s why he’s stuck like this as a sort of punishment, and he wants to change it so he can go back to doing that). He explains that if someone says his name three times he’ll be able to be seen by and interact with the living, and that he has a plan.

He then goes to the home of Adam and Barbara Maitland, a couple he informs the audience is about to die. They sing the song Ready Set Not Yet, which is about how they want to have a kid and are at the stage in their 10 year life plan where they would have a kid, but they’re worried theyre not ready so they keep putting it off. At the end of the song they decide theyre CLOSE to being ready but still have some stuff they want to do beforehand, and then step on a weak part of their floor, falling into the basement and dying. Beetlejuice is there for all of this, unseen because theyre alive, and addresses the audience once more explaining that for his plan to work he needs to keep the Maitlands trapped in their home, throwing out the Handbook For The Recently Deceased that appears for them while theyre still in the basement as it would tell them that they need to proceed directly to the Netherworld. They then climb back up, realize theyre dead, and are greeted by Beetlejuice which makes them freak the hell out. So he sings The Whole Being Dead Thing Reprise telling them that he’s their guide to being a ghost. Then he tells them that time moves differently when you’re dead so while it seems like it’s only been a few minutes, someone’s already bought their house and they’ll need to scare that family out of the house if they want it to stay as it is, while he says this movers begin to come in and throw out their belongings. They agree and head up to the attic.This is when the new family comes in, Charles Deetz, his daughter Lydia that you met at the start, and Delia, the life coach Charles has hired to help Lydia move on from the loss of her mother. While Lydia is offstage it’s revealed that Charles and Delia have a romantic relationship but that they’re keeping it a secret from Lydia. When you meet the family it’s immediately clear that Lydia and her father’s relationship is rocky after the loss of her mother, Charles not wanting to talk about it and to act like everything’s fine while Lydia has developed an obsession with death, begun to dress in black, and refers to her mother as “Dead Mom”. Charles reveals to Lydia that they’re moving into this house which is upsetting to her as she wants to stay in the house they lived in with her mother, Delia fails at life coaching her, then the two adults leave her alone downstairs where she sings Dead Mom, a song to her mother essentially talking about how frustrated she is with her father for his refusal to talk about her mom and how lonely she feels without her mother as she was the person who understood her best. From there we head back up to the attic, where Barbara and Adam are getting a lesson on scaring people from Beetlejuice. It’s clear that theyre very boring and timid people who aren’t good at this in the slightest to his annoyance. They sing Fright Of Their Lives led by Beetlejuice, basically going over several methods of being scary which the two fail at, and Beetlejuice lamenting that he needs them to get the family to say his name three times to free them but that first they need to scare them and, clearly that won’t happen. ( i think this is all because humans won’t notice ghosts unless theyre forced to via unexplainable haunting type happenings, so only then can they make the humans say his name). After the song he says they won’t be able to do it and gives up, leaving, but Barbara insists that they have to and she and Adam hype themselves up singing a quick Ready, Set Reprise before throwing some bedsheets on and making ghost noises, leaving the attic.

We then see Delia and Lydia in Lydia’s new room, Lydia still miserable as Delia continues to try to “Life coach” her and cheer her up to no avail. Charles is planning a dinner party with an investor as they’ve moved here because Charles plans to set up an area of houses for rich people, and he wants Lydia to stop acting like this before then. Delia sings No Reason, a song about how great life is and why Lydia should think more positively and how everything happens for a reason, which Lydia continually derails. It also offers some insight into Delia’s character, talking about how her husband left her and she’s had a rough go of it up till now. After the song Delia leaves, and Adam and Barbara appear in the room still wearing sheets and acting like ghosts. Lydia is unfazed, merely excited at the sight thinking that they’re a sign from her mother. Barbara and Adam are thrown off and run away back to the attic, but are followed by Lydia.

The three talk and bond, Lydia finally being able to talk about her mother without being told to stop, and excited thinking that if ghosts are real then her mother must be back haunting their old home. She agrees to help them scare her dad since the Deetzes leaving is what all three of them want, and suggests that if they aren’t good enough at being scary then they should just take advantage of the fact that her father can’t see them, having her act like theyre scarier than they are. She runs into her father’s room followed by the Maitlands and screaming about ghosts, only to catch him with Delia in his bed. She learns that not only are they together, but her father has just asked Delia to marry him. He tells her that she needs a mother and they all need to be a family, to which she tells him that she wishes she was dead and runs away. We then find Beetlejuice on the roof, crying and singing a joke-y reprise of Lydia’s opening song Invisible about how much it sucks to be him. He’s interrupted by Lydia coming onto the roof with a suicide note, planning to jump. As she’s reading her note aloud and gets to a part about feeling invisible Beetlejuice agrees, used to humans not being able to see him, but Lydia does and is understandably confused as to who he is. He is VERY excited that she can see him, and asks her to say his name three times. Here we get to Say My Name, a song where Lydia and Beetlejuice go back and forth as he tries to convince her to say his name three times, but she’s understandably wary. Adam and Barbara come to the roof looking for her after she got upset and try to warn her to stay away from Beetlejuice but he possesses them in order to make them give him praise and insist he can help Lydia deal with the whole situation with her father. This just convinces Lydia further that she doesnt need him after he tells her all ghosts can possess people, pushing him off the roof and ending the song by suggesting she and the maitlands use possession to scare her father during the dinner party, turning the tables by declaring she’s gonna make her father say her name. After this we go back downstairs to Delia and Charles who are setting up for the dinner party, deciding to just carry on without Lydia as there’s no sign of her and the investor is arriving soon. After the investor arrives and they’re all sitting down for dinner Lydia comes downstairs, acting sickly sweet and wearing a yellow dress Delia bought her to Charles and Delia’s delight. She suggests Delia give a toast before dinner and she does so, however Adam and Barbara possess her mid speech, making her sing The Banana Boat Song, and soon everyone except Lydia has joined in on a very chaotic number of Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) with a reanimated roasted pig, ghostly hands made of plates of shrimp, and scariest of all, choreography. Lydia is delighted until the investor exclaims that this is good news and that they’ll make a ton of money from a haunted house, and without any other ideas, she decides to summon Beetlejuice despite the Maitlands’ protests. After his name is called three times the scene gets even more chaotic, Beetlejuice shoots fire at people, the roasted pig brandishing a knife and chasing Barbara off stage as Adam follows, and a gigantic floating Beetlejuice head and hands attacking people until everyone has ran off but Beetlejuice and Lydia. Lydia’s horror quickly dissolves as she realizes her dad has left and Beetlejuice declares that it’s their house now, and that’s how Act 1 ends.

Act 2 opens with the song Girl Scout, as a young girl scout with heart arrhythmia is wandering the neighborhood selling cookies. She explains that because of her heart condition she could die from being too scared, and then knocks on the Deetz’s door. Lydia answers and invites her in, and then Lydia and Beetlejuice scare her. This continues as more people come to the door and Lydia and Beetlejuice take turns frightening them and singing That Beautiful Sound, a song about how fun frightening people is and how glad Lydia is now that there aren’t any grown ups around. After the song, Beetlejuice states that it’s been three days since they scared everyone away and since then they’ve been running a haunted house, Lydia playing honorary ghost. He gives her a tote bag that all dead people supposedly get, and in it she finds The Handbook For The Recently Deceased. He tries to convince her she doesn’t need it because she’s not technically dead but she gets excited thinking that she could use it to bring her mom back, leaving to go find the Maitlands after realizing only dead people can open this. Beetlejuice is hurt that she abandoned him and that she would rather be with her mom and announces that even after making it so he can be seen by humans he’s still alone, so he now wants to go a step further and become human. He says that in order to do this he needs to trick Lydia into marrying him, quickly explaining it’s “just a green card thing” and he’s not actually out here trying to get with a 15 year old girl. Meanwhile Lydia has arrived at the attic where Barbara and Adam have been hiding out the last three days frightened of Beetlejuice. When she arrives theyve been talking about how to get rid of Beetlejuice as it’s not a safe situation for Lydia and they’re worried. She shows them the handbook and they open it, reading that all ghosts are supposed to go to the netherworld. They look through it but don’t see anything about bringing a ghost back from the dead, however they do read that to get to the netherworld you draw a door on the wall and then knock three times, Adam doing so with some chalk. A door opens where he drew it, leading to a mysterious foggy place with green lighting, and Adam enters a hypnotic state at the sight, beginning to head towards it. Barbara gets scared and closes both the door and the book, telling Lydia she needs to stop all this and that they’re scared for her. Lydia gets mad and says theyre scared of everything and that’s why they’ll always be trapped in the attic, then leaves.

Barbara is upset and thinks Lydia has a point, singing Barbara 2.0 (rip Children We Didn’t Have u~u) about how she and Adam are caught up in the past and how when they were alive they were pathetic and afraid of everything but now they need to toughen up and take charge of their afterlives, especially now when Lydia needs them.

At this point Charles and Delia have returned to the house to rescue Lydia! They’re accompanied by Delia’s Guru Otho who claims he has created a way to trap ghosts. Lydia and Beetlejuice see this and hide from them, Beetlejuice claiming he can help Lydia bring her mom back. He opens the book for her and tells her what spell to use, however when she uses it it’s revealed that it’s actually a spell to exorcise Barbara. He tells her the only way he can save Barbara is if she agrees to marry him, again explaining it’s just a green card thing, and she agrees having no other choice. However as he opens up the Netherworld to send the Maitlands away Lydia jumps in instead, her father running in after her before it closes.

Lydia and Charles arrive in the Netherworld and are greeted by Miss Argentina, Lydia telling her she wants to find her mother and revealing that they’re alive. At this Miss Argentina sings If I Knew What I Know Now, or as I like to call it Movie References, The Song, about how she regrets her suicide and Lydia should cherish life, other dead people chiming in with the lessons theyve learned from death (mostly telling her to avoid the dumb ways they died like smoking in bed or getting kicked by a horse, but still.) Immediately after the demon Juno arrives who is in charge of everything. She ushers the Deetzes through but an alarm goes off because they’re alive, to which she tells some dead football players to kill them, and they all run off.

Lydia runs around the Netherworld alone crying out for her mother until she finally collapses. She starts to realize this is hopeless and wonders if it’s what she should be doing. She then sings Home, about her feeling torn between her house back in the real world where she has family and a life but where she’ll never feel completely home without her mother, or here in this empty world where she might, maybe, find her. Mid song her father finds her and they have an emotional confrontation about him not letting her talk about her mother and showing no emotions regarding all of it, while in his mind he’s just doing what he has to in order to help both of them move on because the loss was so great if they dwell in it he doesn’t think they’ll ever stop. He talks about his last days with his wife and says her name for the first time in the show, presumably for the first time since she died, and Lydia makes him promised that they can talk about her as she’s terrified that she’ll forget her. She agrees to go home, her father reminding her that Beetlejuice is waiting for them. She says she feels bad for Beetlejuice because he’s so lonely but then says that they can use that to beat him. She says she has a plan thats really weird but it’ll work if he goes along with it, and her father leaves to go open the door to go back. At this Lydia concludes the song saying she’s gonna go back and that Adam, Barbara, Delia, and her father are her home. We go back to the house to see a game show set up with Adam, and Barbara as the contestants (they all have the name cards but Adam’s just says “sexy”) and Otho attached to a big spinning wheel. There’s an audience of skeletons that have such cool designs!! I thought they were puppets for a sec but no theyre ensemble!!! Beetlejuice costume designer was robbed at the Tonys. But I digress.

The game shows basically a fun set up before Beetlejuice kills everyone, and Otho’s up first. I guess he dies??? Beetlejuice spins the wheel and then it goes off stage and there’s a big crashing noise and u never see him again, so? They cut all those deaths from DC but they were like “I draw the line at Otho though this bitch CANNOT live.” and honestly? Valid. ANYWAY right after that Lydia and Charles return, Lydia wearing her red wedding dress from the movie. She pretends to actually want to marry Beetlejuice, that she left to get her dad’s blessing, and Beetlejuice doesn’t buy it. (”I mean you literally jumped into Hell to get away from me.”) Adam interjects to say that he’s also in love with Beetlejuice, going over and kissing him. Then Barbara slaps Adam and says she’s in love with him as well, leaning into kiss him but getting too grossed out and backing away. Then she says they’re ALL in love with Beetlejuice to which they all agree. They then start to sing Creepy Old Guy, basically summarized by “Beetlejuice x Lydia Shippers Have No Rights”. It starts out with Lydia Barbara and Delia sarcastically singing about how much they love when they get catcalled by old dudes and that Lydia getting to marry a guy just like that is the dream, which is p much what the rest of the song is talking about. They then both say “I Do”, technically being married, and Beetlejuice becomes alive. He has a Journey Through All The Human Emotions (check out an audio clip of it here bc its v funny) that ends in anger, so he decides to still kill everyone. Lydia then stabs him with one of Delia’s statues, revealing her plan all along was to make him human so he’d be killable. He then wakes up as a ghost, Adam opening a door to the Netherworld so he’ll enter the same trance Adam did that first time and enter. He’s stopped however by Juno entering, looking for Lydia. It’s revealed that she’s Beetlejuice’s mother and she hates him. She says no one’s allowed to go to the Netherworld and then come back so Lydia has to die, but everyone’s against this including Beetlejuice. She throws Beetlejuice into the Netherworld and heads towards Lydia, but she says she finally wants to be alive and isn’t going anywhere, and the rest of them have her back. Juno then says she’ll just kill all of them, but Beetlejuice crashes in at this point RIDING a sandworm, which eats Juno, leaving only her leg behind. Beetlejuice picks it up and says “Hey look Lydia now we both have dead moms!”, and then starts to say goodbye to everyone, giving Adam his mom’s leg, lydia the cowboy hat (Oh yeah he rode in on the sandworm now wearing a cowboy hat), and says he’ll miss her the most. Then he leaves. Lydia asks the Maitlands if they can all live there together, and Delia sadly begins to leave until Lydia asks her to stay. They all begin to clean up the house, singing along to her dead mother’s favorite song Jump In The Line, Lydia reprising Dead Mom in the middle while the others continue to sing a medley of Jump In The Line and Day-O, singing about how she’s found her home.

This Life Chapter 13

Title: This Life Chapter 13

Summary: Dean Winchester is the Vice President of the motorcycle club The Hunters. After almost 7 years in prison, he's free. But things have changed and Dean has to figure out how to put things back together.

Warnings: Language, violence, character death

AN: Thank you to the lovely @sams-serialkiller-fetish ! The song for this chapter is You Could Be Mine by Guns n’ Roses. And I know Dagon is one of the princes of hell and not Alastair, but the Horsemen are an old fashion group and don’t let women into the club.

Arizona

“Fuck!” Ramiel called out as Abbadon dapped at his wounds with peroxide.

“Quit your whining.” She said, blowing a red curl out of her face. “The less you wiggle around, the faster I can get this done.”

“Those fuckers are dead!” Ramiel called out to the others sitting away from him. “They made me scratch up my bike.”

“Do you think there’s a new relationship brewing between those asshole hunters and that club that shot out Ramiel’s tires?” Alastair asked, taking a beer from Dagon. “Thanks love.”

“I say yes.” Asmodeus said, his feet up on the table as he polished an old pocket watch. His good luck charm. “Why the fuck else would those two be out here?”

“Looking for Sammy.” Azazel said. “And, if they’ve found him, we can find him.”

“And get back at the Hunters.” Lilith added as she rubbed Azazel’s shoulder.

“I don’t care what we do,” Ramiel sucked down the whiskey that was offered to him. “Those fucking Hunters are going to die. All of them. Starting with Dean Winchester.” That’s when the door opened and someone walked in.

“Am I late?” A voice asked.

“Gordon. So good of you to finally join us.” Asmodeus said, looking at his watch before snapping it shut.

“I had to lay low for a little bit. Things are getting a little heated over in Texas.” Gordon explained taking a seat. “I have information that little Sammy is in fact in that new club in California. I’ve heard some whispers.”

“Whispers aren’t good enough.” Azazel said. “We need proof.”

“I can get you proof.” Gordon said. “But I have this that you might be interested in.” He handed over a slightly blurry image that had been printed off at a library. Gordon had been doing some recon on the new club.

And his findings really did interest the princes.

“He’s alive.” Azazel said, passing around the image to everyone. “That bastard is still alive.”

“You know what they say. It’s hard to kill a cockroach.” Abbadon said, seeing the image of John Winchester.

“Then I guess we need to squish him properly.” Ramiel said. “Gather the other members. I think we need to head to California.”

****

California

Dean was passed out on the couch, drool drying on his cheek. Benny had made himself comfy on the floor. The two Hunters didn’t want to go back to their room for the night. They had stayed up talking with John most of the night. Andy had come home early in the morning to John, Dean, and Benny laughing. He didn’t stay to talk to them. Instead, he went upstairs to talk to Sam about the night at the bar and how Meg broke some guy’s nose.

But when Dean woke up in the morning, Sam wasn’t there. Andy was snoring away and John was in the kitchen making coffee. Dean shuffled into the kitchen, stepping over Benny and rubbing his eyes.

“Morning.” John said, pouring some coffee into a cup. “Want some?” Dean nodded. John slid him the cup he had just poured and made himself a new cup.

“When does Sam get up?” Dean asked. John looked at the clock on the stove.

“He should’ve actually already left by now.” John said. Dean choked a little on his coffee. “You okay?”

“Where’s he going?” Dean asked.

“Business.” John said. “He’s really good at this. I wish we could’ve convinced him to stay in the Hunters instead of going to college.” Dean just nodded and sipped on his coffee. “If you’re not going back to Texas right away, I thought that maybe Andy could show you guys around. Maybe you’d like to hang out at the bar.”

“I’ve always wanted to be a bartender.” Dean laughed.

“I’m taking the day off. Damn back is acting up.” John groaned. “But Andy would be happy to have you and Benny around. Especially if we’re going to make a partnership.” Dean nodded. They had talked about it the night before. Dean and Benny were going to have to go back to Texas, and they were going to have to tell the others that John was still alive. But John wanted to stay where he was with the Wayward Sons. He didn’t want to take the reins of the Hunters again.

Benny and Andy came in a little bit later as John and Dean were talking. John nodded at the two of them.

“Morning.” Benny grumbled, going to the coffee pot that still had a little bit left in it.

“Andy, I want you to take Dean and Benny with you to the bar today.” John said. “My back is acting up, so I’m staying home. But I want you to show off to them.”

“Yeah, sure.” Andy said. “I bet Ruby and Meg will love having them around.” John chuckled some.

“We gotta go back to our motel room and change.” Benny said. “I ain’t going near them girls again with the same clothes on.”

“Doesn’t matter. They still have to look at your face.” Dean joked, rinsing out his cup. “Drink up and we’ll head out. I’ve gotta take a piss.” Benny nodded as Dean left.

Fifteen minutes later, Dean and Benny headed back to their motel to clean up and change before they headed to the bar to meet Andy. A bar, Dean’s happy place. Someday he would leave the club and start his own bar. He sometimes wished that’s what John and Bobby had started instead of an auto shop.

****

John enjoyed the house to himself for a couple hours before Sam came home. He had been working a deal for John. He was learning how to be a great negotiator. John was really proud of him, even if he never said anything.

“Hey dad.” Sam said. “Things went good.”

“Fantastic.” John said.

“Where’s Dean?” Sam asked, going to the fridge looking for something to eat.

“Benny and him went to the bar with Andy.” John explained. Sam let the fridge door slam and he flopped down in the living room.

“As good as it is to see him, can he go back already?” Sam asked. John sighed.

“They’ll get bored and head back soon.” John said, looking at the magazine he grabbed off the floor. Sam nodded and let his eyes close.

That’s when the front door burst open and three guys ran in. John and Sam barely had time to react before bullets were flying. Sam cried out as a bullet hit his arm. John grabbed his gun that was laying on the coffee table and fired, hitting one of the guys. But someone came in through the backdoor and pointed his gun right at John’s head.

“Howdy Johnny boy.” Azazel laughed. “God, I didn’t think you’d be going into Heaven, but to still be here on earth? That’s mind blowing.”

“Azazel.” John growled. He didn’t lower his gun.

“Easy.” Azazel said. He motioned for one of the guys to switch places with him. Sam was on the couch, holding his bleeding arm as Azazel walked over and sat down by him. “Hey there Sammy.”

“Leave him alone.” John said. “This argument is between us.”

“Don’t tell me what to do.” Azazel hissed. “Now, why don’t you lower the gun so we can have a nice little discussion?” Azazel pointed his gun at Sam’s stomach then. One gut shot along with the arm wound and Sam would be dead. John looked between his bleeding son and the man with the gun before he clicked the safety on and lowered his.

“What do you want?” John asked.

“I want to know how you survived the fire.” Azazel said. “My informant told me how you were hiding out in California. It wasn’t that hard to find you once I knew that. You should cover your tracks better.”

“I’ll remember that.” John said. He started to get up, but Azazel clicked the hammer on his gun.

“Sit.” Azazel growled. John sat down again. “It’s rude to get up while we’re having a pleasant conversation.” John glared at him. “Now, tell me. How did you survive?”

“I got out before it caught.” John said. Azazel nodded his head.

“So that other charred body was one of my guys?” He asked. John nodded. “Well, that justifies this then.” He pointed his gun at John and shot, hitting him square in the chest. Sam screamed.

“Dad! No!” He made to get up, but Azazel quickly wrapped his arms around his neck, putting a perfect chokehold on him. Sam struggled to get away.

“Shh, shh. Relax.” Azazel said. “It’s okay. Naptime Sammy.” Sam’s struggles became weaker until he passed out, slumping against Azazel. “Shh, it’s okay.” He petted his hair, smiling some.

“Crowley.” Azazel said, getting on of his goons attention. “Go bring the van around so we can put Sam here in it. And that body.” He pointed over at the dead goon laying on the ground.

“What about him?” Crowley asked, motioning to John.

“Leave him. I don’t care what happens to him now.” Azazel said. “I got what I was after.” Crowley nodded and left to get the van. Things went quickly, even though it took three guys to load Sam in. Azazel and the others got on their bikes, ready to leave. Crowley was the last one out. He looked around at the broken in door, the blood, the chaos.

“I...I guess that’s what we do.” He mumbled to himself. He looked over at John and saw a little bit of chest movement as he sucked in shaky, shallow breaths. He knew he wasn’t going to survive unless something drastic happened. But he doubted that anyone was going to show up in the next twenty minutes or so to save him.

Crowley always carried markers and pens with him in his vest pocket. A lot of times, they would have to write something and he had seen one of the princes stab some poor kids fingers to get blood to write with. So he took to carrying writing utensils to save not only himself, but some of the others from being stabbed. He took one of those makers and wrote Horsemen in big letters on the wall. Because killing John was one thing, but kidnapping Sam was something else entirely.

Crowley ran out of the house then and headed back to Arizona, leaving John there to die.

****

It was later that afternoon when Benny and Dean returned to the house. Dean wanted to have lunch with Sam, and Benny was willing to tag along. They parked their bikes by the porch and Dean saw Sam’s sitting there.

“Good, he’s home.” Dean laughed. Benny smiled and they made their way up the porch when they noticed that the front door was wide open. Reacting, they grabbed their guns from their waistbands and made their way inside. They could smell the metallic tinge of blood. That’s when Dean’s eyes locked on the chair that held his dad’s body.

“Dad!” Dean yelled, running over to him. His head was slumped forward and his shirt was soaked in blood. “Dad!” He shook him, his head just rolling to the side. “Oh god.” He looked around and saw blood on the couch and blood on the carpet. “Sammy?!” Dean called out, but the house was silent.

“Dean.” Benny said, pointing at the wall Crowley had wrote on.

“I’m going to kill them.” Dean growled. “I’m going to kill them all.”

“We need backup on this one.” Benny said. “I’m going to make a couple calls but we will fix this.” Dean nodded and looked back at his dad. He was really dead this time. No smoke and mirrors this time.

But now, Dean was free from prison, and the Horsemen needed to be dealt with, once and for all.

Walking The Wire (109/?)

Summary: Tony Stark always knew about Peter Parker. He didn’t know that Peter was going to get superpowers and become Spider-Man, but he always knew about Peter because Peter was his son.

This will span from pre-Iron Man up through the rest of the MCU (eventually including Infinity War) and will be for the most part canon compliant except where I’ve taken some liberties and interpreted canon a certain way.

Pairings: Pepper/Tony, Tony/Steve (endgame), Tony/Mary (past)

A/N: If you want me to tag you when I post new chapters let me know. This fic is also on AO3

I used Collider’s MCU timeline to stay canon and the title of this fic is an Imagine Dragons song that is just so fitting for Peter and Tony

Chapter One Hundred Eight

2018

Ben & Jerry’s came out with a whole bunch of new flavors that were Avengers inspired. Peter found out when Ned texted him and MJ about it in a group text. Later, when he got home from school, he found out that not only were there new flavors, but that Ben & Jerry had gone ahead and sent them at the tower a few pints of each of the new flavors.

“This is amazing,” Peter said when he peered into the freezer. “Did you know this was happening?”

“Despite your metabolism, I don’t expect that eating all of it at once would be wise,” his dad said. “And no, I didn’t.”

“How long do you think they’ve been working on this?” Sam asked. He was leaning against one of the counters and already digging into a pint box of the A Hunka-Hulka-Burning Fudge. “Don’t they take years creating flavors?”

“Not sure. Don’t care,” Tony said and reached into the freezer to pull out Cap-ilicious Triple Berry. “All I know is that apparently I’m not off dairy and that this is delicious.”

“I would have thought they’d do a more patriotic look to Cap’s ice cream,” Sam said.

Peter reached blindly for one of the containers so he wouldn’t have to make a choice and he saw his dad shrug as he took a bite of the Cap inspired ice cream. Peter had wound up with Stark Raving Hazelnuts which really was not all bad. It was certainly a nice thing to come home to. He took another bite and then took a picture of the ice cream to send to Ned.

“You know, I’m really glad we got a wedding planner,” Tony said as he looked through a few cake design options.

Steve who was in the middle of painting something laughed. “You mean, you’re glad Pepper got us a wedding planner even though this whole thing was supposed to be a small thing because Peter despite his excitement is still just a teenage boy that knows next to nothing about weddings.”

Tony shrugged. “Sure, what you said. But I’m still glad. Anyway, people like parties. And at this rate we just really have to make a few choices and then just show up. We can even leave early if you really want. What are you painting anyway?”

“The view,” Steve said and sure enough he was. Everything outside the window had been transferred to the canvas. It wasn’t exact -- more of an abstract, but that didn’t make it any less beautiful. Tony had never really understood art or even bothered to like it -- but that didn’t mean he didn’t appreciate everything that Steve created.

His art room had filled up with more and more art since Steve had finally focused on his hobby. He wasn’t obsessive, but he spent hours painting away or sketching. It kept him entertained and Tony was happy about it. He liked that Steve had something to do that was all his own. Tony also loved watching him do it -- the concentration that he put into his art was unlike anything else. In another lifetime, it was possible that Steve would have just become some artist that everyone admired.

Tony got up. “I’ll leave you to it. I have a bit of work to finish up in the lab.”

Steve nodded. Tony pressed a kiss to his temple and walked out of the room. He found Sam and Wanda watching some odd cartoon and then spotted Vision in the kitchen.

“Hey, Viz.”

Vision and Wanda spent a lot of time on their own on their floor but it wasn’t odd to find them up in the penthouse some days. What Tony found weird about it was that Vision seemed to be more and more human-like these days. He had started dressing like a regular person a long time ago but now he seemed to not mind changing his appearance to look human. It was a little strange.

“A letter arrived for you,” Vision said.

“That’s odd,” Tony said. “We usually don’t get any mail sent up here.”

“It is possible someone brought it up and left it in the kitchen for you to find,” Vision said.

“Right,” Tony said but it all still sounded a bit odd.

Vision didn’t respond and he picked up the bowl of popcorn and went to join Wanda and Sam in the living room. The letter was in a manila envelope and Tony figured he’d take it with him, but his mind was already turning to the new designs he’d been working on. Natasha was already out of her house arrest unlike the rest of them and she’d been cleared to rejoin The Avengers officially. It also meant that she was free to do whatever Fury wanted from her and Tony wanted to give her the best gear to do that with.

The heater in the Spider-Man suit was one of the best things ever. It meant that Peter could actually patrol without feeling the brisk cold air. It had snowed a few days earlier and there was gray and dark dirty snow on the edges of most streets. Peter also found that most rooftops were covered and useless to him. But he was still out and about for a few hours.

But it turned out that when it was cold out that there wasn’t a lot of crime to go after. Not a lot of people were out unless they needed to be. Peter did save a woman from slipping on ice.

“Anything going on, Karen? I’m kind of getting bored.”

“Not that I can tell,” Karen said.

“I should have just gone and trained with Steve. I guess it’s a good thing, right, that nothing is happening.”

“I believe so, Peter.”

He swung off of a fire escape and headed towards the tower. Maybe he’d just go and actually work on his homework. There was an essay due in a few days that he should get on top of. His junior year of high school had brought along a ton more work and college was a thing that everyone was starting to get worried about. Tony liked to mention MIT in passing all the time and then May brought it up in her own way too, always hinting at how Peter would need to give up Spider-Man for it and Peter just -- he didn’t want to think about that.

He got back to the tower to find Natasha was back from a mission and sitting in the living room with Sam, Steve, Wanda, and Vision.

“Hey, Peter,” Natasha said. She had a split lip and yet she still smiled at him.

“We left you food in the kitchen,” Steve said. “We also left food for Tony if you want to bring some to him.”

“Cool. Thanks. I will.”

Food turned out to be sub sandwiches so after getting back into his normal clothes, Peter just grabbed both and went to the workshop. He was expecting to find Tony working, but instead his dad was looking at paperwork.

“Hungry?” Peter asked.

His dad turned to look at him. “Oh, you’re home. I -- I must have lost track of time.”

“What are you working on?” Peter asked.

“Nothing. Nothing. Just something that got in the mail today got me a bit distracted.” He waved his hand and the display disappeared. “Anyway, food. How was school today? Patrol?”

“Same. Not much going on.”

Tony nodded. He was oddly distracted. It made Peter worry a little. His dad only tended to get weird when something was happening.

“Did I ever tell you that I can’t actually have kids,” Tony said after they’d sat in silence eating for a while.

“No,” Peter said, not sure where the conversation was going. “I mean, maybe. I kind of think I knew that already.”

Tony nodded. “I -- it was to do with the arc reactor. Anyway, there was a time when I didn’t think that I would ever meet you or that it would make a difference because you were growing so fast and I never needed my parents when I was your age -- well, I probably did but I didn’t really have them. I guess that’s what makes more sense.”

“What are you getting at?” Peter asked. He was so confused.

Tony sighed and he wiped his mouth with a napkin and then he got up and grabbed a few sheets of paper. “A while back I applied to adopt. Sort of on a whim. Sort of because I really wanted to be a dad since at the time I couldn’t really be yours. I thought I’d never get to meet you. It takes time to adopt and I had forgotten about it just because of everything that happened. Actually -- I don’t remember if I told Steve about it. Thing is, nothing came of it and then I met you.”

Peter remembered a conversation about his dad possibly wanting other kids and how much Peter just -- he didn’t know how to feel about it. He hadn’t really let himself think about any of it especially since Tony had said he wasn’t sure if anything might happen.

“But why are you -- what’s that paper?” Peter motioned to the papers that Tony was holding.

“They want to know if I’m still interested,” Tony said.

“Oh,” Peter said.

Tony let out a breath. “I don’t think this is the right time,” Tony said. “Not for any of us.”

“Oh,” Peter said again and it was as if he didn’t know how to say anything else. He just -- he didn’t know if his dad wanted his opinion or if he was just telling Peter about it to tell him. Peter was also quite sure that he didn’t know how to feel.

It was getting closer to the end of the school year when a school trip was announced and Peter was dismayed to hear that it was a tour of SI. MJ cackled and laughed for a solid minute once she found out and just wouldn’t let it go all throughout lunch and then later when they were walking out of Midtown. Ned on the other hand seemed as excited as everyone else. The trip wasn’t for another few weeks, but Peter was already dreading it. He just knew that it wasn’t going to go well. He had kept the fact that he was living at the tower a secret from everyone including Ned and Michelle for over a year and this was going to be thing that finally revealed that to them -- he could just feel it.

“Aha, so we finally get to find out that Penis Parker has been lying about that internship all this time,” Flash said when he walked past them.

Peter rolled his eyes.

“Or prove Flash wrong,” Ned said. “This is actually really awesome. Do you think any of the Avengers will show up?”

Peter shook his head. “It’s not a trip to the living floors. Just the labs and SI. They don’t usually go down there.”

“But wouldn’t it be awesome if Flash saw you talking to them and they ignored him.”

Peter settled him with a look. “That’s not going to happen, Ned.”

When he got back home, he almost hesitated to mention the whole thing. He was going to have to get May to sign the permission slip since she was still his guardian, but if Peter was going to go -- and he really couldn’t not without giving ammunition to Flash to make fun of him with -- he was going to have to make sure that he did appear to be an intern at SI. Peter couldn’t remember the last time he had gone down to those floors of the building. He assumed that the trip was going to be geared towards the R&D rooms. Maybe he could get Pepper to help him out with making his story seem legitimate.

He ran into Steve as he was getting out of the elevator.

“Hey, Peter,” Steve said. “Not patrolling today?”

“I might go out later,” Peter said and followed Steve to the kitchen where Sam was in the middle of taking cookies out of the oven.

“Well we were planning on a movie if you want to join,” Sam said.

“Yeah, I will,” Peter said. It offered for the perfect distraction. He would figure out what he was going to do about the trip later.

PIGS HEART DISSECTION HAPPENED TODAY HELL YEAH

also vaping. vaping is literally designed to get kids hooked. at my school, theyve had two smokers come through in the past ten years. two. now, we arent allowed to leave classrooms during class times bc people would literally go into the bathrooms and vape.

they do it in the changing rooms too, and it's really fuvking annoying. like, you'll go in yo get changed after interval and theres this bullshit bubblegum ass scent in the air and giggly year 12s fucking off out the door.

also, the tastes are marketed towards kids! what with the whole, strawberry, bubblegum, mint, watermelon and all that. there are no (or rather, very few and very un-shown) studies that are shown to us as kids! people think it's cool and fun and you can buy them at the two-dollar shop!

literally, I have friends that did that when they were twelve (one pretended to be eighteen and the owner difnt give a shit), and then they tried to hotbox their parents caravan. god, it's really fuvking weird being a tween/teenager these days.

Oh! and the studies that have come out.... I'm pretty sure unbiased ones say this shit is b a d . like, even if its. unsure I s'pose, you are still inhaling water vapour into your lungs. you are doing shit to ur body that you arent designed to do like wtf stop

also, I'm not saying that this is completely shit. like, my friends parents both were smokers and nos they've switched to vaping. it can be good, and that's the companies excuses for them, but they are being marketed. towards. children. excuse me while I go scream.

also! today in engineering I was fuvking brilliant. we're using EV3 Lego classroom and I got my code done in 15 minutes, had it patched and working and the robot when brilliantly. the only other group that got that far consists of a) crush guy no. 2 and b) crush guys friend who's actually a vibe.

my robot just. violence. that was how it moved. jerkily. oh, and I did this all on my own bc my buddy wasnt there. very therapeutic. (considering the fact that me an my friend who was away are the only two AFABs in the class so when I did it I felt vv smart)

also religious studies? five minutes was all it took lmao I've gone to catholic primary and now catholic high school and rst is shit. vv shit

also I need to do my english homework haha I've been procrastinating all week bc its b o r i n g as shit. I've already read the book, read it twice since we got it assigned (holes by louis sachar) and its. it's boring. I dont like it. plot points very obvious.

in conclusion yes.

SINCE SOMEONE HAS TAKEN IT UPON THEMSELF TO YELL AT ME TO SLEEP AT AN APPROPRIATE TIME, HERE'S SOME HOT TAKES:

maths is good and fun and I genuinely enjoy it and that's not weird that's just how I am. I am speed running the year above me's maths and I am loving it. numbers make brain go brr.

I'm doing a thing called maths buddy and I'm just. going right through the year 11 work and it's so much fun? like, im on algebra but in class we're looking at bivariate data (we're looking at pie graphs soon yay!) and I love it so much. everything about maths is ten out of ten. also, at the end of the year we do a trial ncea test and get sorted into our classes for next year and I am really hoping to get into 101 bc that leaves calculus open later on!

ALSO

we did science today and learnt about the circulatory system and yes it's good but I also am going to list the bones now (disclaimer: this is a year ten science class. plz do not take all I say as fact although like 90% is right. if somethings wrong plz correct me!)

cranium + mandible (skull), scapula (shoulder blade), clavicle (collarbone, it's designed to break), humerus (upper arm bone), radius + ulnar (ulnar is along pinkie side of arm I think(I broke the top off of it last year. bones are crunchy), sternum, ribs, pelvis, femur (if u break that u fucked up. it's big and strong for a reason.), tibia + fibula (big + small leg bones, fibula is really hard to find in a chicken leg), and then ankle bones and feet. in the book the toe bones were called phalanges but the teacher said something abt metatarsal (t for toes) and metacarpal (ur fingers). And then the ear has like. the anvil, hammer and stirrup but idk abt the stirrup.

now the circulatory system

you breathe in air. goes down trachea (theres a flap in ur throat that stops food going down ur trachea and I think that is very cool). filters into lungs, absorbed into blood. goes thru the heart, into the arteries (although I'll talk abt them later) out thru the body, into capillaries (the tiny tiny versions of veins & arteries) and comes back thru the veins to the heart,goes to lungs and gets re-oxygenated because it was spreading oxygen to the body that whole time

VEINS AND ARTERIES R WEIRD

arteries are almost all sort of kinda the parts that bring oxygenated blood throughout the body. veins almost kinda sort of bring it back through the body to be re-oxygenated. but the thing is, you've got the pulmonary vein and the pulmonary artery, and I cant remember the vein ones job, but the pulmonary artery brings deoxygenated blood into the lungs. (pulmonary means to the lungs, I think.)

I can't remember much abt the heart, but it has two ventricles (left and right), two atriums (once again, left and right), the superior vena cava (literally, the one on top), and the inferior vena cava (the one below), the septum (which separates the two ventricles/atriums I think), the aorta (which is pronounced a-orta whereas in Maori, the native language of my country (I am European Pakeha tho) you would put the a and o together to make an "oh" kinda sound (I'm shit at explaining sounds sorry)), then you've the pulmonary thingies. the diaphragm is a muscle that pulls ur lungs down, and people with strong diaphragms have really good opera voices (kinda random but yeah). also one side of your heart is stronger (has more muscle we said in class) than the other bc one pumps blood to the lungs and the other, stronger one pumps it all around the body. that's all I can remember sorry (I've forgotten stuff, I can sense it).

oh!!! we dissected a chicken leg! bone marrow is pretty lit. the skin is weird and adipose (fat tissue) is gross. I liked ripping the muscles apart tho. in the coming lessons (the one after next I think) we get to dissect a pig heart! its gonna be really fun!

also we talked abt how Latin used to be taught a lot and now I'm sad I don't get to learn it, as in, I'd learn it as opposed to any other language because that's how I am!

Also. weird thing is, I could've learnt spanish this year but I didnt bc I hated the teacher (: but hes my Dean's partner so yeah. my Dean's pretty chill tho, she's my english teacher.

English is great! we're reading holes by Louis sachar and I've already read it, so I'm speed running the questions hehe. that is, if I cbf. tomorrow we get to silent read (in class not the library which is kinda sad, in the library I can hide alone in a corner) which will be fun.

this degenerated from hot takes to. not hot takes but just facts n shit, but anyway! now that that's out of my system, goodnight! I hope everyone who sees this has a lovely day/night/time of day for them!! and also a lovely week. you deserve it :)

ok so this is gunna be an essay lmao but im replaying the witcher 3 for the ladies and im currently playing through the quests that made me stop playing it the first time due to their fucking disgusting treatment of women handled in a downright distributing way (the murdered naked women strung up and all the women naked and gored in the whoreson junior quest) and somethings hit me that i picked up on before but only now have i really realised it? and that is that almost every woman in this game especially those who are portrayed as particularly strong willed and powerful and know it are ‘taken down a peg’ usually in the form of violence against them by men. philippa one of the truly powerful women in the series had her eyes gouged out by radovid in the previous game (correct me if im wrong but i also believe the player sees this happen?) and is then tricked into owl form by a bitter former lover, who traps her in dimeritium after which shes passed around as a pet between various men. triss has her fingernails ripped out in a quest that hinges on her being tortured and places a disturbing emphasis on her continually heard screaming. priscilla who is (more than) dandelions equal, is subject of a brutal and horrific attack by a serial killer who had a past penchant for torturing women (also worth mentioning that her pain seems to be for the sole purpose of making dandelion realise his love for her and settle down) while dandelion, who has previously been locked up in prison by the sadistic witch hunter menge is never shown baring ANY of the signs of his imprisonment to the extent that when rescued he looks identical to his usual preened, finery wearing self, meanwhile the women imprisoned throughout the game by the witch hunters are stripped and visibly brutally injured.) Whats more what should have been an awful experience for dandelion seems to have been of little inconvenience and is literally never mentioned again.

The lodge the only organisation of true female power in the witcher universe was massacred before the events of the game and its sorceresses face varying degrees of horrifying fates: margarita and sile are locked in the witch hunters prison, magarita being ‘saved for last’ in the burings having watched all of her pupils go to the stake before her. sile a powerful player in the witcher 2 (who geralt can send to her death by boobytrapping a megascope in the previous game) is seen stripped and broken, bruised and bloody in an outfit that exposes her navel. fringilla is locked up by emhyr chained in dimeritium chains which are said to be very unpleasant for mages to wear, and is set to be executed before being freed. Keira Metz if allowed to follow her own wim ends up either dead by geralts own hand or burned on a stake by radovid, (and of course if this option is taken geralt gets a nice cutscene showcasing her charred corpse). Ves seemingly the only female soldier in the entirety of the land that isnt skellig is scolded something fierce by roche with no option to defend her (morally right) actions and is shouted at by a man for the impractical and ridiculous outfit the male developers put her in. Even ciri the most powerful character in this game and it’s universe who has been through hell and back is often portrayed as a petulant teenager who has to be reigned in by both geralt and avallac'h - a man who she apparently trusts completely and bares little ill will for despite the fact he imprisoned her in his own foreign land and forbid her to leave until she bore his king a child.

Even the minor female characters are not exempt. Rosa var attre is shot down by Geralt and blamed/scolded for being "why people hate nilfgaardians" after two men tried to attack HER and she said shed have them punished (bear in mind it's also implied she's a very young woman.) One of the frequently heard npc lines is from peasant men and is clearly intended to be ‘funny’: “see you're a man well travelled so tell me should i beat me wench once a week or oftener?”

One of the worst instances in the game however is the Bloody Baron Questline. Anna, who we find out was frequently beaten by her fuckwad of a husband the baron - to the point she had a fucking miscarriage and was so desperate to escape him she made a pact with some very dangerous crones - is treated disgustingly by this quest. Her husband we find out was absent fighting for years and returned to find his wife had had an affair with a friend of his and was leaving him. He then proceeded to kill her lover in front of her and feed him to the dogs, continually beating her for years after. and and yet the dialogue clearly indicates we are meant to feel sympathy for HIM because he suddenly feels bad despite the fact theres no evidence hes changed at all burning down his stables in a fit of rage with the horses and stablemaster still inside. (His men we also first run into rampaging a village and trying to hunt out the hidden women so they can rape them.) While he is given the luxury of explaining his “side” we are supposed to soak up the idea that it’s not entirely his fault because she taunted him and fought back verbally after as he puts it “losing the desire to live.” Anna meanwhile is shown in service to the crones who have aged her and also robbed her of her sanity, therefore unable to give her accounts of the story. The game even goes as far to equate her as being deserving of him because she didnt take his treatment silently and having an affair is clearly the equal of murdering the love of someones life in front of them and subjecting them to years of verbal and physcial abuse to the point of miscarriage.

Meanwhile even the truly evil men in this game get a quick death at worst, and while characters like radovid and menge can be taken down by the women theyve hurt, their quick and clean deaths are far from on par with the humiliating and extensive suffering the women of this game are subject to.

#this is loooong lmao but im mad and i needed to write about this and get it out #i refuse to hear anything about the witcher not being a sexist shitstorm because some good parts dont make up for eveything else #becky speaks #witcher critical

I'd die for you

I first met Urvashi during class 6th of our school. We were classmates. she was kind and bright, but above all she was willing to be friends with someone plain and boring as me. I loved her. But I was alright with never confessing my feelings to her, because i hated the fact that we may not be friends anymore. my parents lived far away from me so most of the times i would have dinner at Urvashi’s house . That day i went to Urvashi’s house to help her cook a feast for her moms birthday. But I was careless, i left the recipe book close to the stove and it caught fire. The fire soon spread through the whole house.

“My mom is still in there “, Urvashi kept shouting but the firefighters wouldn’t let her go past them. Soon the whole house fell to ashes.

“This is all my fault” i thought to myself.

All kinds of things were said at the funeral, that how Urvashi had only her mom after her father had left them , and now that she had also left her , she no longer had anyone left.

“ im really sorry” , i said in a sobbing voice.”its all my fault, if i had paid attention , nothing like that wouldve happened. I know ill never get your forgiveness with just an apology , but i-”

Before i could say anything more, Urvashi hugged me and said,” it’ll be fine , it wasnt your fault, as long as i have you everything will be fine”, she said with tears in her eyes. She didnt care that she had lost someone important because of me , she forgave me with an open heart . thats when i mad up my mind, i will protect Urvashi for as long as i live. She will never suffer like this again. Two years passed.

I could hear some of the girls gossiping in our class.

“He was the 2nd victim “, one of them said.

“Scary,its fishy how they went missing one after the another”. Said another

“I bet she did something to them”

“ who knows?”

“At any rate, its better if we stay away from Urvashi”

I couldnt bear this any longer. I walked up to Urvashi and asked her if she wanted to walk home together.

“Dont let them get to you “ , i said , trying to comfort her.”its not your fault Urvashi”

“But, two people i dated suddenly disappeared you know,” she said.” everything was normal just the other day, now they’re nowhere to be found. Why do those important to me suddenly disappear?” as she said this, Urvashi made the same distraught face she made when her mom died in that fire that day. Seeing her in such a state twisted my heart beyond belief.” i wasnt trying to blame you” she said seeing the look on my face,” youre an important friend . besides what happened two years ago was an accident.”but i could never forgive myself for it.

“Hey” she said while looking and smiling at me,” you know, everyone important to me keeps disappearing one by one. Im terrified, please you dont leave me too”. Heaing those words from her only strengthened my resolve.

“ ill be fine “, i said. We saw each other off and went our own separate ways.

Shes so cute and precious, ‘please dont leave me too’ , i just love her soo much. Ive made up my mind to protect Urvashi. Theres no way id disappear. Thats why everytime Urvashi gets a boyfriend, i test them. I would flirt with them , invite them over and every time they easily come with me. Boys are such pigs. Cheaters like that arent worthy of Urvashi. I wanted to make sure that these filthy men would never make Urvashi cry in the future, so i nipped the problem in the bud. The public thinks theyve gone missing , and Urvashi also hasnt noticed either. I do feel sorry for her since because of all this , there are rumors going about her in the class. But its good this way cause the worthless nobodies stay away from her. As i entered the class i saw that somebody had written ‘ Urvashi is a dirty slut who eats men’.i quickly picked up the duster and rubbed it off. I turned around to see that some girls had surrounded Urvashi and were talking to her. I walked closer to the group to listen what they were talking about. I saw that it was Hargun and her friends talking to Urvashi. I say that they had put dirty wet rags on Urvashis seat.

“Urvashi , could you do something about your seat, i dont want to sit near someone whos seat is so dirty”, she said with hate in her eyes and a sly smile on her face.Urvashi glared back at them.

One of the girls got scared and said” what, you think we did this? You are the one who makes your boyfriends disappear and then attend school as if nothing happened.”

“Stop it you all”, i said in a calm voice, looking towards those girls.” what youre doing is completely disgusting.

“You stay away from this “, Hargun said while facing me “ just because you are her best friend doesnt mean you will support everything she does”

“ i didnt say that because im her friend, i said this because i think you all are scum”

The look in my face caused Hargun to shudder a bit. She left with her friends sson after. Urvashi thanked me for saving her, but the only thing that was going through my mind was that Hargun needed to go for Urvashi to be happy. The next day was a weekend , and Hargun attended extra classes on those days till late evening. I put on my hoodie and grabbed my suitcase, duffle bag and a hammer. I waited for her to be alone and then i started following her. I guess she noticed me because after a few minutes she started running. But i always knew that she was a dumb girl. She ended up running into a dead end with no lights. She turned around to see me , but before she could say anything , i smashed her face in with the hammer. She died instantly . i used the bleach to remove any blood from the path and then stuffed her body into the suitcase. Im getting pretty used to killing poeple. But i hadnt done anything wrong, this was all to protect Urvashi. *click* what was that? I turned around to check where that sound came from but there was no one there. Maybe it was my imagination . maybe im getting too paranoid. What is the point of being scared, i dont care being called a murderer if i can keep a smile on Urvashis face. As i thought this , i saw a wretched rotten away face staring from a corner at me. “ are you sure about that ?” , it said “ you erase those who you deem unworthy of of Urvashi, but that isnt the truth. You just want her all yo yourself , dont you?” i got scared and jumped back in impulse.i looked back at the corner but the face was no longer there.” everything i do is for Urvashi and no one else” i said to myself as i walked back to my home.

The next day after classes ended , our teacher told us that Hargun hadnt reached home yesterday and asked us to be extra careful. While walking home i could see that Urvashi was tense . i asked her what was wrong. “ im really cursed arent i ?, anyone i have any kind of connection with disappears.” as she said this, she started weeping.

“ its not your fault Urvashi” , i said while thinking that it was true that it wasnt her fault, because it was mine.i killed them all.

“ theres no need for you to cry” i said “ because, its their fault they didnt come back, each of them might have a reason why they disappeared. So please dont vry for them” as i said this Urvashi stopped crying and without saying anything went back home.

Later that night i decided that it was finally time for me to dismember Urvashi and dispose off her because even after keeping the body in ice , it had started to rot. I put her body in the bathtub and started cutting her in small pieces. As i was doing this someone rang the bell. I thought they would leave after sometime but they kept ringing the bell continuously.i quickly washed my hands and opened the fron door. I was shocked to see the police standing there.

“ are you deeksha?” they asked.

“ yes , but why? “ i said trying to act cool.

“ we received a report so we came to confirm it” as he said this he produced three pictures in front of me. In two if them i could be seen disposing of bodies and in one of them i could be seen stuffing Harguns body in the suitcase. Seeing this i felt as if i lost my voice. I couldnt say anything.

“You are suspected of unlawful disposal of corpse” said the policeman. “ we will now be searching your house” as he said this, two policemen entered my house. “ we found the body sir” on of them shouted from the bathroom”

“ you are under arrest “ said the policeman in front of me.as the policeman apprehended me , i shouted” who was the bastard that clicke those photos? Ill kill them !!”

“I clicked those “

I turned around to see who said that . i was frozen stiff to see Urvashi standing there. “ thats right, i clicked those “

“ Urvashi, what are you doing here?”

“ the fire that broke out two years ago, no one could blame you no matter how much you were at fault, and also i knew you were in love with me. So i thought that id make you suffer through raging jealousy as revenge for the fire. Thats why i started dating those boys. And as i predicted, you killed them both , and as an added bonus you killed Hargun too” she said while giggling.” you mustve thought of some bullshit , like everything i do is for Urvashi, right? You killed them on your own , can you stop saying that it was for my sake? Those word sound quite funny from the mouth of my mothers murderer.” as she said that i felt destroyed. I just wanted to die. “Wait, then why did you forgive me?” i asked shivering.

“ i can tell many lies, i’ll never forgive you . even if you spend the rest of your life atoning for those sins.”

“ hold on , then why, why did you tell me you forgave me back then, if you didnt forgive me, i was ready to kill myself.if you hated my existence that much , i couldve killedmyself for your sake.”

“ it wouldve been over fr you if you died back then. i had to drag you to the deepest depths of despair or else there would have been no point. You killed three poeple , thats a much heavier sin than setting that fire. Thank you for going to hell on your own” as she said that she gave a carefree smile to me, as if she had finally attained the things for which she lived for.

“ i finally got my revenge”
