#literal marcie bait

[nathaaaan]

While I was listening to Hate Me by Nico Collins (I still am), I started thinking about an amphibia AU. I probably won't write it, or maybe I will... but it's an interesting thought.

It's toxic sashanne.

Anne is obsessed with Sasha. Like, madly obsessed. An addiction.

I guess you could call her lovestruck?

She's literally willing to do anything for her. Sasha tries to explain that she has changed, but Anne can't really seem to grasp it.

"Sasha? Change? Nah, never."

Over the years, Sasha manipulated Anne. Anne saw this as normal—acceptable. Sasha had Anne wrapped around her thumb. After (or during season 3b of) Amphibia, Anne still has this obsession, as she can never be truly mad at Sasha. Even after they've fought on several accounts. Even after Sasha tried to kill her froggy family one time. Even after Anne got sent to Earth—which really only made her longing for Sasha grow.

If it's Post-Amphibia, they'll drift apart as they did in the canon, but Anne does these drastic things to get Sasha's attention. To keep her close. Like suicide baiting, because she knows Sasha won't let her die. The people around her—her friends definitely take notice of this behavior.

If it's during Amphibia s3b, Anne does whatever she can to be near Sasha. This includes watching her sleep, making plans with Sasha (despite not knowing what's going on), sparing with Sasha (purposely failing/not trying so she can feel Sasha's touch), and constantly holding and touching Sasha whenever she can. Sasha will probably be the most oblivious of the bunch, because it's happened Pre-Amphibia, but she notices because it wasn't... all the time back then. The Plantars and the other members of the resistance will take notice, as Anne was never that touchy. Not even with Marcy, and when they first reunited, Anne was all over her.

That's not all, Anne would definitely be willing to serve Sasha. Asking questions for if Sasha wanted or needed something VERY specific, because Sasha used to ask for very specific things before. Perhaps hoping that Sasha would be happy with her. Sasha tries to explain that Anne doesn't need to do any of it anymore.

Sasha definitely realizes that she ruined Anne. The old Sasha was a massive sadist, and Anne is (NOT WAS) a masochist.

Anybody remember Sarcasm by Get Scared, or was I too emo :/

Hi, I loved your response about TOH and now I would like to know the same about Amphibia. What are the things you like the most, dislike the most and what would you change?

This is gonna be a long post but i'll keep the thing i dislike most part short cause i already talk about the things i dislike many times before.

Considering it is the main fandom that i draw most about it's a bit ironic that there are a lot of things i dislike about Amphibia but most of them are connected to a single thing so i think i can say that the thing i dislike most about Amphibia is its terrible and unbalanced writing.

Of course the thing i like most about Amphibia is Anne and Sasha's relationship change and development during the show. They showed that both characters have their own flaws and neither of them exactly knows how to be a good friend to the other. Sasha thought being in control would make her friendships stronger but it unintentionally turn her into a bully in her relationships. Anne thought leaving all decisions to others and doing whatever others say would make her friendships stronger but it turned her into a pushover. During the series, Anne started to make her own decisions but she didn't completely stop listening to others and learned to make more balanced and stronger relationships. Sasha saw a lot of bad results because of her ways and they start to make her reconsider her doings but her relationship change with Anne was the final strike for her. Anne literally became the main reason for Sasha to change her ways and see the wrongs in her doings clearly. She even said to herself that she wanted to be better, someone who deserves Anne. She did exactly what she said, she learned to stop pushing people around and start listening to them, instead of forcing to be in control she started acting as a team. In the end, it gave her a chance to rebuild her relationship with Anne better and stronger. I really really wish all that development between them would get a result at the end but it turned out to be another ship bait and the writers completely wasted all the development between Anne and Sasha with a nonsense ending.

I have talked about before that how i would like to change the ending so i'll just copy-paste my old response for it. " After the hardest thing events and Marcy moves away with her family Anne and Sasha starts to spend more time together as their relationship is fixed and becomes healthier after Amphibia. They would get closer and closer in time and eventually confess to each other and start dating. And during Marcy's visit scene after the skip, we should see both Anne and Sasha welcome her together. "

I am very, very tired.

People in fandoms seriously need to learn that sometimes, not everyone interprets characters the same way. Sometimes, people will hate your faves and love your most hated characters, and that’s okay. People will see different things in characters, or find some more deserving of sympathy than others, or create fanworks that might seem OOC to you, because that’s just how people are. And as much as there are plenty of lovely people in fandoms, there’s also a significant number who need to sit down and bloody well accept that.

I have very strong character opinions, and I’m not exactly quiet about them, but I put them into my own fics and leave well enough alone. When I see someone hating a character I love, which happens a lot for me TBH, you know what I do? I move on, block the person if it’s really that bad, and get over it. What I don’t do is White Knight for fictional characters; I don’t leave comments on fics telling authors that they’ve written characters badly, or send them multiple itemised lists of everything they’ve gotten wrong about my faves and accuse them of deliberately interpreting canon in bad faith somehow to try and force them to love the characters I like.

Sorry this is negative, but I’ve just had it. Fandom is meant to be fun, and yet these people insist on ruining it with pointless arguments because they can’t accept opinions exist.

Marcanne Headcanons

Sorry it took me ages to answer this and these are really angsty but:

- Marcy used to come around to Anne's a lot to get away from her parents (before the whole Amphibia thing) - the Boonchuys are used to it and have an airbed ready for impromptu sleepovers plus food Marcy likes (since she's picky about textures).

- After Amphibia, Marcy moves in permanently with the Boonchuys and so do the Plantars.

- She gets her own room but she doesn't use it much; she finds sleeping over with Anne more fun, and often when she's alone she'll get nightmares about being stabbed and seek out Anne or her parents anyway.

- Anne absolutely steals her hoodies and is sad when she washes them; they have a smell that Anne finds comforting (she says it's like being permanently hugged by Marcy).

- Marcy has chronic pain from her injuries; she literally died and Andrias' healing equipment wasn't perfect. There are some days where she's fine and some where she can barely walk. But Anne is always there for her; she's the only one Marcy will let push her on the days she needs a wheelchair.

- Marcy starts getting uncomfortable about being called "Marmar" because it reminds her of Andrias, but she doesn't wanna say. Anne notices anyway and quietly switches to just using 'Marbles' when she wants to be affectionate.

- Marcy confesses her feelings over a game of Creatures and Caverns (they absolutely start a proper campaign with Sprig and Polly and Sasha) where she has an NPC based on her confess to Anne's character and it all comes out from there. It's awkward and uncertain but Anne loves it anyway.

- They like to go stargazing together; if there's one thing Marcy misses from Amphibia, it's the lack of light pollution. So sometimes she and Anne will catch a bus out of town and go watch the stars (until they both get distracted and start playing Switch XD).

[leverage-ot3]

notable moments from The Gimme a K Street Job

leverage 5.05

lemme just start by addressing the episode synopsis: “to take down a competitive cheerleading company which profits by putting teenage girls at risk, the team must tackle their most corrupt foe yet: congress”

y’all they went SO HARD for 2012 and I stan them SO HARD for that

- - - - -

Parker (into video camera on phone): Do you hate me? You hate me. Is that why you’re making me—

[Leverage Headquarters]

Parker (on display): —do this?

Nate: No, Par-Parker, these girls... they need a coach, and you’re the best gymnast I know.

Hardison: Besides, it puts you on the inside at Pep H.Q. In D.C. They’re running cheer camp for the next week up until championship.

Parker: But they’re teenage girls. What do I know about teenage girls?

Nate: You were a teenage girl?

Parker: Only sort of

parker I guarantee you’ll be in your element soon enough

but, in the meantime, parker complaining to nate like an offended child to a parent is everything

- - - - -

Sophie: Look, did you know about this? Girls being dropped from 20 feet. It’s unbelievable.

Parker: I know, right? 20 feet? Psh! Walk it off.

Sophie: Parker, you do know that normal people don’t just “walk off” a 20-foot fall, right?

Parker: So... all those times I pushed Hardison off a building and he was all “aah!”... he wasn’t just being funny?

(Hardison shakes his head)

Eliot: I thought it was funny, Parker.

Hardison: No way in hell was it funny.

Eliot: You’re always upside down, man.

Hardison: I fell off a building. I was upside...

Eliot: Like a Himalayan tree frog.

Hardison: You calling me a frog? You calling me a damn frog? Say it again. Say it to my face

I’d die for this chaotic ot3

eliot “I thought it was funny” spencer made sure to both reassure parker and fuck with hardison in the saME B R E A T H

- - - - -

Nate: Ah, there’s the crux of the problem right there. Technically, legally, cheerleading is not a sport. It’s an activity.

Sophie: What’s the difference?

Eliot: A sport has legally mandated safety standards.

Nate: Yes, and a for-profit company cannot run a sport, which is why pep wants to keep Competitive cheer from becoming a sport.

I don’t know why I was expecting someone to bash cheerleading the show had never ever let me down and I should have known better

- - - - -

Sophie: Ah, I love government. Shady deals, back-room meetings... It is grifter paradise.

Eliot: This is wrong. We work outside the law, not smack-dab in the middle of it.

Nate: Relax, Eliot. Elected officials are the easiest marks in the world. Between their ego, the greed, and the politics... More hooks than a bait shop

another fucked up government episode let’s go

- - - - -

Eliot: Right. Assuming it passes.

Hardison: Assuming what? It’s a bill to keep high-school girls out of wheelchairs. Who’s gonna vote against it?

[Congressional Meeting]

LeGrange: Ladies and gentlemen, this bill is a staggering... I say a staggering overreach of government power.

Eliot: You were saying

eliot is smug and loves proving hardison wrong on principle

- - - - -

LeGrange: Now, I was a quarterback in high school, so I think I know a thing or two about cheerleaders. And one thing I know is that they do not want big government getting all up in their business.

(Barron and Snyder enter the room)

LeGrange: Cheerleaders are strong, independent young women. They don’t need a bunch of white-haired old men from Washington telling them what to do. They don’t need a nanny state dictating their every move

this whole thing was so gross wtf

- - - - -

(Hardison uses his phone to create feedback on the sound system. A technician struggles to fix it while Hardison hands Eliot his phone)

Hardison: Just press this button.

LeGrange: I said, who knows what...

(Eliot presses button and the feedback gets worse)

they lowkey grinned at each other when they did it ,,,

they’re a chaotic duo that thrives on fucking with people and I stan them so hard for it

two words: assholery boyfriends

- - - - -

Nate: No, not... not marks. Elected officials. We do this right, we’ll have them eating out of our hand by dinner.

(hours later, Hardison enters looking exhausted. The others are seated around looking tired as well)

Eliot: “Eating out of our hand by dinner,” huh?

Hardison (sits down): Anybody else feel like we’ve been chewed up and spit out

and that’s government, people

- - - - -

Sophie: I like stealing things that are real. Cash... of course. Land... sure. Art... yes, please. Corn subsidies? Not so much.

let sophie steal expensive art from rich snobs pls it’s what she deserves

- - - - -

Girl: Um, coach?

Parker: Right! Okay, who’s up for some basic gymnastics drills?

(Parker presses a button and LASER light lines shine between orange cones. A girl in the back raises her hand)

Parker: Yes. You. What are you called?

Madison: Madison. Can I be excused? I don’t feel well.

Parker: But... We have... laser grid, Madison. Laser grid. Huh?

(on phone call)

Parker: They’re so jaded

I hope they still learned how to dodge lasers at the end

also ,,, THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS SO GOOD AT THE END PARKER TAUGHT THEM SO WELL

- - - - -

LeGrange: No, no. Listen carefully, son. Now, people don’t donate to me to buy my vote. People donate to me because they already know how I’m gonna vote. People donate to me because of my integrity. Now, if your people are interested in me, I’m happy to have your money. But if you think you can buy a vote off of J.J. LeGrange, well, you got another think coming.

[Empty Office]

Sophie: You mean...

Eliot: Yeah, I mean the guy’s got integrity. Elected official or not, you can’t con an honest man

congressman: *is honorable*

eliot:

sophie:

hardison:

nate:

*team collectively embodies the surprised pikachu meme*

- - - - -

Nate: Okay, so what’s your next play?

Eliot: Well, you’re supposed to be the mastermind. He doesn’t want power. He doesn’t want money. Maybe he really is an honest man.

Nate: Everyone has a hook, Eliot. Everyone has a weakness you can exploit.

Eliot: Do you?

Nate: No. You?

Eliot: No. Look, maybe this doesn’t fit into your world view, Nate, but there are some people out there that just want to serve. Trust me. I served with them.

Nate: Okay. Well, if all they want to do is serve, you can exploit that, too.

they totally have hooks and it’s the team but smh act like y’all are untouchable whatever

- - - - -

(Parker turns on a light in Ashley’s face)

Ashley: Madison talked to me in confidence.

Parker: A big word for a little girl.

Nate: Where’s Madison?

(Parker leans down into Ashley’s face, growling)

she literally G R O W L E D LMFAO

- - - - -

Parker: Madison? Madis... (sees Madison) Madison, hey, what are you doing down here? (helps Madison up) Everybody’s freaking out. Come on, we got to get you to the competition.

Madison (jerks away): I don’t want to compete.

Parker: What? Why not?

Madison: I don’t want to mess up again.

Parker: What are you talking about? When do you mess up? You’re great.

Madison: Seriously?

Parker: Oh. You were Marcy’s spotter.

Madison: I don’t know what went wrong. We’d done it a hundred times. Everything was going perfectly. (sits down) I just don’t want anyone else to get hurt.

(Nate clears his voice. Parker sits beside Madison)

Parker: Look... I’m not afraid of heights or falling or... Anything I probably should be. But do you know what I am afraid of? Letting down the people I care about. Look, you don’t have to compete if you don’t want to compete. But I think your friends are gonna feel a lot safer knowing that you’re there, instead of having no one there.

(Madison nods)

Parker: Right? Did, uh, that work? Because I kind of got to get all the way up to the roof, so... (leaves the area)

parker NEVER would have been able to be vulnerable and understanding like that in the earlier seasons and we are SO PROUD of her and her character growth

+

“But do you know what I am afraid of? Letting down the people I care about.”

SHE LOVES HER FAMILY SO MUCH AND NEVER WANTS ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO THEM

also ,,, nate’s fond look at her when she’s saying this ??? im soft

- - - - -

Cheerleader: Ready! Ready!

Announcer: Let’s hear it for the MHS Badgers!

Announcer: Ready! Ready! Let’s go!

Nate: Ready?

[Congresswoman Berkus’ Office]

Hardison: Ready.

[Sophie’s Office]

Sophie: Ready.

[Hallway]

Eliot: Ready.

[Pep Athletics Headquarters]

Parker: Ready.

Nate: Let’s go.

they’re so extra I love them

- - - - -

Ashley: Where’s coach?

Madison: She’ll be here. She won’t let us down.

Man: Wolves, you’re up.

Female announcer: Let’s give it up for the Wolves.

Parker: I’m here! I’m here! I’m here! All right, let’s huddle up. I bet you guys could use a pep talk right about now, huh?

(cheerleaders agree)

Parker: For Marcy?

Madison: For Marcy.

Parker: Go, wolves.

All: Go-o-o-o, wolves!

(cheerleaders perform an outstanding routine. Barron approaches Nate as he watches)

parker THRIVED during this episode and you can’t change my mind

- - - - -

parker watching over the cheer team with pride is my religion

- - - - -

also BIG PROPS to the producers that showed male cheerleaders too

- - - - -

LeGrange: Hi. (to Parker) How are you? J.J. LeGrange.

Parker: I don’t vote.

parker is chaotic and we love her for it

- - - - -

Hardison: And what was that about?

Sophie: Huh? Oh, I was j... I was, um, just planning a little trip to the gulf. The military are breaking ground on Fort Devereaux.

Hardison: Fort Devereaux?

Sophie: Mm-hmm. I love government.

Parker: Missed you guys this week. Good game.

I WANNA SEE FORT DEVERAUX

also parker wrapping her arms around sophie and hardison, happy to have her people and admitting that she missed them? the pOWER

- - - - -

Nate: Good job on this one.

Eliot: I know what you’re trying to do, Nate. You could have told me how to hook LeGrange the whole time, but you wanted to see if I could figure it out on my own. I trust someday very, very soon, you’re gonna tell me what kind of game you’re playing.

Nate: Good job on this one.

(Nate walks away. Eliot smiles, but watches him walk away)

eliot’s bashful little smile at the end is everything

[crazedlunatic]

When You Knew

Anon: Eric realizes that he wants to marry Alec? I think I remember reading he didn’t want to get married but I know that they do so I am interested in the evolution of that

“So we’ve been married for three years now and it is time for you to tell me.” Alec said, going to up the admissions desk at the ER.

Eric, who was about to get off and trying to finish his paperwork, glanced up to see Alec smiling. “Tell you… what exactly?” Eric asked suspiciously, looking up from the paperwork he was filling out.

“You know. When you knew you were going to marry me.”

Kurt’s Blaine’s friend David, who was there as well but talking to the registrar, pulled a face.

“Oh, don’t you even dare, David. Digimon marathons?” Alec snapped.

“Okay, that’s rude.” David scoffed.

“Plus… are you ever going to marry the mother of your toddler and unborn child? Eric wants to know.”

“Alec!” Eric hissed and then added, “Well… I am curious.”

“Talk to her about that one.” David shrugged and walked off.

“I’m serious. You’re being all secretive about it and it’s getting annoying now. You didn’t just propose to shut me up, did you?” Alec asked as David’s ‘girlfriend?’ walked up to Eric. “Please tell me we’re not married so I would quit asking if we were going to get married.”

“Friendly advice.” She chirped. “Answer the question and if it’s a stupid answer, make one up. Can I go home, Eric?”

“I guess so but if you see the Chief in the breakroom, you may want to ask her.” Eric shrugged. “Have a good night.”

“Can David leave too?”

Eric rolled his eyes.

“Hey, I don’t like walking to the apartment by myself.”

“It’s… not even a whole block down, Marcy.”

“Don’t make a pregnant woman cry.” Marcy stuck out her lower lip.

“Fine.” Eric sighed. “Please tell me you don’t use that pout with David. You’re not even going to wait for him to hand his patients off before you leave, are you?”

“I’m a big girl. I can walk home by myself.” Marcy gave him a look. “I just know how to work you to get what I want.”

“You literally just said… whatever. See you tomorrow.”

“Oh? Do you know why he proposed to me?” Alec asked, looking at Marcy.

“Probably your money.” Marcy shrugged.

“Uhm… he has a lot more than I do?”

“Something else superficial? Your looks?”

“Bye, Marcy.” Eric gave her an annoyed look.

“It’s so much quicker when he makes you leave.” Marcy whispered to Alec before walking out with one of the other nurses.

“I married you so I wouldn’t have to marry one of those.” Eric sighed.

“Uh, no. Finish your hand offs and we are going to enjoy our third anniversary and you are going to tell me why you wanted to marry me.” Alec gave him a look.

“Fine. Go sit in the break room. Someone had a gnarly stomach bug yesterday and three people have already left sick.” Eric sighed again.

Alec kissed his cheek and walked towards the breakroom.

…

“Telllll me.”

“Oh my God.”

“No. No more being shy, Eric. Tell me now and if you don’t have a good reason, make a better one up.” Alec literally sat down on his lap so he could not move.

“How much caffeine have you had today, Alec?”

“The same amount Kurt and I always have when we’re hiding away from our studios… so, a lot. It’s just so annoying to listen to them all the time. You can’t turn in sketches with mustard on them. Do they not know they’re giving that to the main designer? Their boss?”

Eric rolled his eyes. “Your butt is bony.”

“Well then you better talk fast so I’ll get up, I guess.”

“Get what up?” Eric asked mischievously.

“Yeah, no sex unless you tell me a satisfactory answer. Sorry.”

“I don’t know. I mean… it was kind of little, stupid stuff and when you put it all together… I just knew I was being dumb trying to not marry you.” Eric said somewhat lamely, shrugging.

“Like what?”

“Mainly when we were up at the alter with the officiant. I was going to run off, but you were actually on time for once.” Eric grinned.

“Eric.” Alec shot him a look.

“I mean it really is a bunch of stupid, little stuff that just accumulated into a big boom moment, you know?”

“If it was that important, it wasn’t really stupid or little.”

“I don’t know. You’ve, like, known since we first got together and it took me a lot longer to jump on the marriage train.” Eric bit his lip.

“That’s okay. I just want to know. So, tell me some of the little stuff.”

“Well… remember our first date in Ohio? We had the dinner reservations at the place you heard about… and my car window on the passenger side was leaking because it was raining, we missed the ferry by five minutes so we had to wait another hour. Meanwhile, it’s still raining and you’re getting all wet and cold. Then on the ferry you got super seasick. It was supposed to be a half our ferry ride but end up, like, an hour and fifteen minutes… and you were so nauseous you couldn’t even eat your food. I felt so bad because it was our first time seeing each other in three weeks and you had been so excited to go and I completely ruined it.”

“I forgot about that.” Alec smiled. “It’s okay. When I ate the food the next morning, it was mazing.”

“Oh, I’m not even done!” Eric said as Alec moved off his lap to sit next to him on the couch.

“What else?”

“We were five minutes late to the ferry ride back and had to wait an extra hour again but it was even longer than that. Still raining so you’re still getting wet. So, then I was freaking out because we got lost and Siri kept taking us the wrong way so you had to use the Maps on your phone. You’re horrible about that still, by the way… And when we got back to your place you were just acting like you hadn’t had the worst night of your life and you told me that I could pick the next place for our Ohio adventures… and I think I kind of knew I wanted all of the adventures to be with you.”

“You’re so sweet.” Alec pouted a bit.

“Also, the first time we actually slept through the night in a bed together… When I went on vacation with you and your family the summer after I graduated. I remember thinking that I wanted to wake up next to you every day and how happy that would make me. And then one time when you were staying with me, I was studying and you were asleep. So I’m halfway into this study guide about burn treatment and you just randomly rolled over, draped your arm around my lower stomach, and sleepily told me that you wished you could fly... and then you started snoring and it was the most hilarious thing. I think I kind of knew then too.”

“… I had drank that night, hadn’t I? I was really hoping that had been a dream but I only snore when I’m drunk or sick.” Alec groaned.

“I never let you drink too much. You’re a lightweight anyway. A drink and a half in I’ll hear the hiccup giggle and take it away.” Eric laughed. “Oh God. And then how you anthropomorphize things. I think it was when we had first moved in together here in New York City and I was putting the new tea packets in the little drawer since we’d been running low... You came in like a lunatic and hysterically told me I had to move the old ones to the front because you didn’t want to ruin the their hopes and dreams of being our cups of tea.” Eric laughed. “You still do that. Give things human characteristics and empathize for people much more than they deserve… except my mother, that is.”

“I’ve done it since I was little.” Alec said and then frowned. “Well, not the thing with your mom… but pretty much ever since I met her and she said I was jail bait. Is that it?”

“There is a bigger one but it’s kind of depressing.” Eric said.

“What?”

“When your dad was at war and those bombs went off and they couldn’t find him and you were just broken. Like… the only other time I’d seen you like that was when in freshman year I got drunk and… you know. And you didn’t call me. When I asked why you said you hadn’t even thought to and I… just knew that I had to make sure you knew you could call me. I knew that I always had to be there to protect you and take care of you to make sure you never feel like you can’t call me again… and so you know you always have one person that will answer no matter what… That was the big one.”

Tears filled Alec’s eyes and he let out a deep breath.

“You’ve always meant so much to me and it was stupid to not want to be married because I feel like by the time you started at CCAD, we pretty much already were married since you followed me there… and the more time we passed and the longer I would go without seeing you… I just knew my quality of life was so much better with you in it and suddenly getting legally married didn’t seem so scary anymore. The possibility of losing you was what was scary because I knew you wanted it so bad… almost as scary as the way I had felt before your dad was able to contact you and your mom. It just seemed silly…”

Alec sniffled, wiping his eyes.

“When did you know you wanted to marry me?”

“Two things, same day.” Alec sniffed. “On our first date you didn’t take me to a place that served burgers.”

“Your mom actually gave me that hint.” Eric said— suddenly feeling very thankful he’d took the advice.

“I figured because she was so smug when I told her about the date.” Alec laughed.

“The other thing?”

“When you kissed me… you had been so flustered when you finally got up the courage to ask me out but it was like once we got away from my house on the way to the restaurant everything was super calm and you were just you…The way you’d been before you started to like me when were just friends…”

“No, seriously. I don’t know why but all the nerves just went away. Honestly, I’d been a nervous wreck until then.” Eric gasped. “It was so weird.”

“But,” Alec said. “You kissed me and I just knew that nobody would ever make me feel like that again. Nobody could make me feel that way again…. And then you pulled away and said it had never felt like that before even though you’d been head over heels with Adam… I just knew it was bigger than a crush or a first date… I knew we were meant to be.”

“Seriously? No other ah-ha moment?” Eric looked doubtful.

“No. I just knew and always have.” Alec said. “Obviously I tried to play that down because I didn’t want to seem clingy… and honestly, if I hadn’t already felt that way before you got drunk and slept with Adam I probably would have ended it but I knew I could never feel this way for anybody else. Almost like it was fate that we moved back here when we did. That sounds lame but… it’s true.”

“I’m so glad we stayed together… I know you don’t bake or cook much but your peanut butter cookies are so good and I still want to make how you make them so round?”

“Not telling.” Alec singsonged. “I did tell your brother, though… so he could make some and impress his now wife. See? When I bake and cook, it’s life changing. Too risky to do it too often.”

@yourpersonaltimebomb did you do this knowing i'm literally working on my WIP right now? /lh

alright - i'll share a little bit of chapter 15 of overwritten, overridden:

Getting past King Andrias’ army, getting into the city, reaching the castle – it had all been too easy, too obvious. A ruse; deception in its best form with Marcy as their sweet irresistible bait, hung and left out to dry, seemingly for their taking.

I'll tag these lovely people but feel free to ignore! @oraclecoven @steelanuran @hey-its-puddlesock @eeveearoace @your-local-hurt-comfort-junkie-1

I was tagged by a couple people (at least @authorofemotion, @kazoosandfannypacks and @jedi-valjean) to share the most recent line of my WIP. So here it is!

Dear Force, Kanan thought as they continued down the street. Incredible doesn’t sum her up. Forget the Rebellion— this woman was going to be the death of him, and Kanan was definitely not opposed to it.

Tagging @chaoticdumbassrogue @hecckyeah @swinging-stars-from-satellites @mathmusic8 @laughingphoenixleader @firefoxtessa @christian-anon and anyone else who wants to play!! Just say I tagged you

Lark’s eyes grew wide. “Spade? Listen, I want no part of this conversation right now.”

“You don’t have a choice,” Mona replied angrily. She had never let her temper get the best of her, but she had been wronged in a way unimaginable. “They’re here and they’re a huge threat. A few weeks back, Marci, Rei and I were camped in this small building when Spade came along. Except Marci…she was so terrified of them that she literally used Rei and I as bait!”

“What!” Reagan exclaimed. “How?”

“Rei and I were arguing about something stupid. He also puts his sister above all else and I told him that there were three of us in the group, not only one. Well, turns out he was right. There was only one, and it’s Marci. When we were shouting, Marci must have seen Spade coming. I don’t know, but instead of warning us, she just left. She ran, took our supplies and practically left a trail of things to where we were arguing. She threw us under the bus.”

“And they have this Rei guy,” Staci finished. “That’s not good. It’s nearly impossible to escape their clutches.” She looked to her little brother. “Unless they’re in one of the smaller holdings: the junkyards or the warehouse.”

S1 Ep11: Out of Mind, Out of Sight

Plot Summary

When an invisible menace starts attacking students and faculty at Sunnydale High, the Scooby Gang traces the problem back to Cordelia.

Sarah’s Thoughts:

Willow is wearing a “Scooby Doo” shirt. The Scoobies!

Mitch is HOT. Like, yes please. But when he says “it’s not [Cordelia’s] arm I’m looking to be on”...Mitch. You don’t you can’t be ON a vagina, right? Have you even had sex, Mitch? Well, guess we’ll never know. Have fun in the hospital! 

Cordelia has so many friends to help her with her May Queen dress. Why does she have to do that in the school? Doesn’t she have a fancy mansion to do it in?

Angel’s back! Remember him? *Yawn* Giles thinks Angel being in love with Buffy is “poetic”. That sure will change...

Guest star Clea Duvall as Marcy Ross, the invisible girl! You’ve had such a long and storied career in film and television. Brava to you!!

Marcy literally made herself a bedroom in the crawl space attic of the school. Honestly? She’s got a lot of ingenuity. And she lures people with her flute-playing abilities! 

Why is it the best teachers get (or almost get) murdered at Sunnydale High?

“Have a nice summer” = HAGS = the worst thing you can get in a yearbook sign. Still was true in 2001-2007. Is it still true today? Youths! Let me know! 

Buffy uses her Slayer Sense to figure out where Marcy is! First time!

So...the FBI takes invisible kids and makes them assassins. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. 

Writing:

When kids or teens share what superpower they want, it’s ALWAYS invisibility. It’s so there’s a semblance of control. You can do what you want without getting caught. Least that’s what it was for me.

Also let’s give it up for the first real Cordelia-centric episode! And the first time she’s bait! 

Quippy quips:

“My eyes are hazel, Helen Keller” - Cordelia 

“There’s no dead students here...this week...” - Snyder

“You know, I don’t recall ever seeing you [at the library] before” - Giles. “Oh no. I have a life.” - Cordelia

Yay Feminism!

“Mean girl” and “left out” behavior is totally common and real for adolescents. I like that someone resorts to violence for it!

Girls feeling invisible. Teenagers / people getting resentful and “going mad” for not feeling seen. Traditionally not a female arc. Nice.

That’s not Feminism, Joss!!!

No complaints here!

Xander Creep Factor: 1 out of 5 Eww’s

“I’d use my powers to protect the girls’ locker room” 

Xander wears a peep show t-shirt in the last scene. Why.

Overall rating:  3.5 out 5 stakes

[melonoverlord]

All my asks for my gf who's too functional for me, Marcy

What high school stereotype would they be (goth kid, cheerleader, nerd, etc.)?

She’s a mix of the artsy kid and the cheerleader. She’s definitely always wearing cool outfits that you couldn’t pull off, lives for the drama but doesn’t ever want to start it, and is absolutely 100% better than you.

What song would they want played at their funeral?

Inevitable by Shakira. She tends to like Spanish music more than English and there is never a bad reason to play Shakira.

What did they want to grow up to be when they were a kid?

Marcy was always good at flamenco and salsa dancing and thought about being a dance instructor up until a couple years ago.

Would they root for the prey or the predators in a nature documentary?

Neither. She likes them to battle it out and will root for whoever comes out on top. She tends to be a fan of the poisonous prey or the ones that have some type of lethal defense mechanism.

Who is their hero? If they don’t have one, what kind of person would be their hero?

Her hero has always and will always be her father, and nothing can change that.

What is/would be their weapon of choice in a fight?

She’s skilled a little in knife fighting and the tiniest bit of gun weaponry, but she chooses to fight in more sneaky ways such as possessing someone and using them as bait or a hostage. If she had to fight hand to hand, she would probably use knives.

What’s the most embarrassing thing in their internet search history? If the internet doesn’t exist, what’s the weirdest question they’ve ever asked someone?

‘Can you sue a secret organization’. It got her into some chats with the illuminati and she had to politely say “no, I’m not suing the Illuminati, have a nice day ma’am.”

Who would they sell to Satan for a single corn chip?

She would sell the entire Library of Alexandria for a single corn chip. She has nothing good to say about them and never will.

Are they a city or a country kind of person?

City, definitely. She grew up in Barcelona all her life and loves the nightlife and things to do around the city. She spent one week in rustic France while on a job and hated how plain it was. Give her the tall buildings and lack of grass. She’ll take that over cows any day.

What’s their favorite mythical creature?

She’d never admit it in 500 years, but she finds the Leprechaun adorable and used to leave little treats out for him when she was little, even though Spain doesn’t practice St. Patrick’s Day. She just think he’s neat.

Who are they afraid of?

The Library just the slightest bit including some of the people that work there, and a creep who followed her home from school when she was in secondary school. She still isn’t sure if he was from the Library, or just a pedophile.

Who would they take a bullet for?

Her family 100%. Besides that, she doesn’t have that many friends or loved ones. Maybe Guadalupe, a kid in her apartment building that always gives her cookies when she makes too many.

If they had to dress totally different from their usual style, what would they wear?

Marcy usually dresses in crop tops and shorts or warm-ups and usually doesn’t like going dressy, but if you give her a valid reason to dress to the nines, she will. She will let her hair down of that beautiful braid and let those curls go, while she rocks a strapless, backless dress. Eat your heart out, Archer.

What makes/has made them cry harder than anything else?

Her father being taken away from her, which in result, took her mother away from her.

Would they laugh at dick jokes?

Despite all the shit that she gets up to, Marcy’s actually pretty innocent in that department and wouldn’t recognize a dick joke when she heard it. She just assumed that whoever was saying it wasn’t funny and she’d roll her eyes.

If they were a Pokemon trainer, what would be their favorite type?

She just can’t turn her back on the Psychic types. She’d have an entire army just of the Abra evolutions. They’re precious and must be protected, even the old musty looking ones.

Would they go to a haunted house?

Nope. Marcy does not fuck with demons or ghosts and once left a friend’s sleepover when she pulled out and ouija board. It’s funny when people find out that Marcy 110% believes in the supernatural and fears it when usually she’s so pragmatic about everything.

What’s the worst promise they’ve ever broken?

After she developed her powers, she told her parents that she’d stay out of trouble and try to just live a normal life. She fully intended on keeping her promise until the Library took her parents away from her. Now she’s deeper than she ever wanted to be.

If they could go back in time and change one event from their life, what would it be?

If she knew that the day that her father said he was “going on a business trip” would end up her entire life shattered, she would have begged him not to go and make him stay.

What was their favorite game to play as a kid?

There were two types of games that Marcy played, both alone and with her parents. While she was always good at Just Dance and loved playing, her mom couldn’t play and her dad was always too tired to play an exercise heavy game (at least the way Marcy played it), so their family game was Chutes and Ladders. She and her mom especially went hard every game.

What is/would be their favorite meme?

Probably because it aligns with what her Chi can do, her favorite meme is “Free Real Estate” and absolutely thinks that to herself every time she possesses someone.

How do they usually spend their rainy days?

Walking around Barcelona and just letting her hair and face get wet. Marcy loves both rain and shine and doesn’t matter what she looks like at the end of it.

What’s the most romantic thing they would do for a significant other?

Definitely give up on her revenge mission. Marcy is one of the most stubborn people anyone will ever meet, but she also loves with her entire heart and would stop tearing herself apart to get revenge and just be satisfied and comfortable with her significant other.

How far are they willing to go to get what they want?

Marcy is a very determined teenager and knows that in order to make things right for herself and her loved ones, she might need to burn some bridges, both figuratively and literally.

Sum up their personality in a single gif.
