✏️✏️✏️

Last week, Vivi came to visit completely unannounced. A movie marathon for Halloween! She said. It'll be fun! She assured us. Taryn tried to turn her down at first, being 7 months into her pregnancy, she understandably found the idea risky. But Vivi being Vivi, she would not give up. And frankly, Taryn did need some family time and support. With no parents, no siblings and no husband by her side, although she doesn’t want to admit it, it must surely be difficult.

Meanwhile, Cardan immediately agreed despite our status. The High Queen and High King going to the mortal world only to watch movies? It’s a rather shameless behavior to display so soon, but Vivi said it makes us audacious for some reason that I didn't quite understand. The audacity! Or whatever.

Though to be completely honest, I'm pretty sure Cardan only wants to go for the caramel popcorn and to see Oak again. Oak who's now the only member of his "lineage" that he more or less appreciates. I'm worried. Nephew and uncle are maybe starting to get along too much. When Vivi found out Oak had punched a kid at school, instead of feeling sorry or ashamed Oak said "Someone who doesn’t respect others shouldn't complain about getting payback." Cardan said it wasn't his fault and it sounded more like something I would say. I beg to differ but he likes my begging so I just agreed and moved on. Vivi noted that he’s turning out to be a sassy child.

Now, we're lying down on the carpet while Taryn and Oak are on the sofa, Vivi is making the popcorn. She still isn't entirely back to being together-together with Heather. Should've figured, if she were I don't think she would've invited us. I hope things turn out well for them.

"Who wants it with caramel!?" Vivi asks from the kitchen, her head tilted to the side from the doorway so she can see us.

Cardan and Taryn lazily raise their hands.

"Who wants it salted?"

Oak and I raise our hands. Cardan looks at Oak like he’s incredibly brave for that, I roll my eyes. Salt only reduces or stops a fae’s ability to use magic for a limited amount of time, it’s not that big of a deal. I swear Cardan loves to overreact and exaggerate the dumbest things. The other day, I came back dragging the head of a traitor behind me to show the folk they can trust me to protect them. Meanwhile, Cardan said, "You know I love you but please think about the smell it’ll leave on the carpets." Well, Cardan dear, we’re King and Queen, we can get new carpets anytime if the smell doesn’t wear off. Also, Taryn is terrific at home decor anyway, I bet she enjoys decorating and redecorating our halls.

Oak puts his small hand on Taryn’s belly, then his ear against it. He’s excited at the idea of becoming an "unkie" to his future niece like Cardan is to him.

As soon as Vivi’s back with the popcorn, the movie starts. The good thing about watching movies at home is that you won’t be done with the popcorn before the commercials end. And although she’s the one who invited us, she keeps talking over the movie’s beginning, asking us how we’re doing and what stuff has been going on in our "fairytale hellhole." Then it quickly goes to the uncomfortable questions.

"So. Rynryn, I heard that a half-fae dude has the hots for you. How’s that going?"

Taryn cringes.

"Oh please, Larkin is ridiculous. Trying to court a widowed woman who’s still pregnant with the child of her late husband? He has no delicacy."

Cardan raises an eyebrow.

"The husband who died by the hands of his wife, you mean." I hit him on the shoulder and he utters a fake sounding ow. Oak is right there, I widen my eyes at him to make him understand but what’s done is done. Oak turns to Taryn once again.

"Why did you kill your husband?" Oak asks curiously with no discernible malice in his gaze or voice. Taryn smiles politely.

"He didn’t bear for me the kind of love that satisfied me nor did he treat my opinions and feelings with enough respect. And you know what that means?"

"People with no respect deserve payback!"

Taryn smiles and puts her hand on Oak’s horned head to praise him. Cardan and I look at each other a bit astonished. So that behavior partly came from Taryn, huh. I’m afraid that at this rate, he’ll become an amalgamation of all of our personalities. No matter. Vivi presses a bit further, putting Taryn back on track which only results in complaints from Taryn’s part.

"I swear he only ever wears plain and boring outfits, even for revels and casual occasions. Not to mention he has no common sense, poor table manners and his attempts at flirting are horrid, frustrating and awkward. How is he supposed to be a spy and assassin if he can’t even put two and two together? No way can he gain the trust of any of his targets that way." She suspiciously over-explains everything wrong with Larkin. Vivi smiles at her knowingly.

"Hmm. I don’t know, to me it sounds like he already caught his target." Vivi says.

"Why are you paying so much attention to him?" Oak chimes in with more accusations.

Taryn shifts her attention back to the TV, a furrow forming on her eyebrows. She tells us we should focus on the movie instead of whatever she thinks of Larkin. Which is none of our business, by the way. And so we do, we watch. Cardan seems to display no particular difficulty in understanding the images and plot but he’s much more entertained by the popcorn. That is until it runs out and he lets himself get swept away. His tail stands up straight like a cat’s every time he’s surprised by the sudden sounds or imagery, namely the jumpscares. It’s cute how his face doesn’t show his fear at all, he seems to be completely unphased if you ignore the tail. I suppose it must’ve been why he hid it all those years. It puts his emotions on display. Making his feelings obvious.

Near the middle, Oak is too tired to continue watching. Vivi puts him to bed. Near the end, Vivi and Taryn somehow manage to fall asleep on the couch. Vivi most likely because she’s not scared of horror movies in the first place, and Taryn because our presence hopefully calmed her down. In the end, this was mainly for us to get together again. Vivi may be clumsy with her words sometimes, but she’s still the same older sister who hugged us when we got into trouble or scraped our knees while falling on the concrete grounds of our neighborhood. I sigh.

While trying to get up, Cardan stops me. He whispers.

"Let’s sleep here."

I widen my eyes at him.

"On the floor?"

"On the carpet, dear."

I roll my eyes.

"I’m sure Vivi won’t mind if we borrow her bed for the night, as long as…" I don’t finish but Cardan gives me a sly smile nonetheless which makes me hit his shoulder lightly.

We get up and I properly tuck Vivi and Taryn in, leaving them to sleep comfortably on the sofa. Then we go to Vivi’s room and make the bed together. Well. "Make" is a big word, we’re both embarrassingly inept at tidying things up since our attendants do it for us. We just cover the bed with a cover we’ll sleep on, tucked in under another new cover so we don’t have to truly "get" into her bed.

As we lay there about to fall asleep, Cardan attempts to talk to me before I manage to make my way into dreamland, as he often does.

"Don’t you miss such things? Movies, popcorn, late night talks with your siblings? We could do that more often."

I smile and grab his tail, pulling it to my front so I can play with the tuft to fall asleep faster. It relaxes me. Cardan has enough only with hugging me, his arms just under my chest, and if his hands wander around to go higher when I’m too tired, I hit them away and he gets the hint.

"It’s fine. I believe it’s better for me to slowly move away from that, eventually we could try meeting in Faerie all together. There won’t be movies anymore, but the food can be brought here."

I’m not sure what face Cardan is making right now, but I think he didn’t like that answer judging by how his tail is flailing around.

"Don’t give up on that. I wish I always had that." He pauses then squeezes me tighter in his arms. "Or is it because of…"

I want my body to stay strong and healthy. My case is arguably completely different from other humans since I’m the Queen, but I’m not willing to risk it. When I reach my mid thirties or so, I’m thinking of stopping my trips to the human world. I hold onto Cardan’s tail in confirmation. And as I start to believe this might be the end of the conversation, he says one last thing before we fall asleep.

"We could try to install electricity in Faerie…"

I smile.

🧃🍜📚🎬📺

sorry im just really curious ,:3

uwaahhh!!! yaayayyy

🧃- uhh favorite cold drink hmm. maybe like soda?? or water. or apple juice but maybe not? I'm still not over the time I drank a bunch of it after learning a dance that was too much. I think I got sick of the taste lol

🍜- hmm my favorite dish is probably this soup (okay had to Google for this) It's the "One-Pot Creamy Lemon-Dill Chicken Soup with Couscous & Scallions" from a hello fresh meal my dad got once. (we don't get hello fresh anymore my dad just saved the recipe cards lmao) idk I just really like it. (we cant have it anymore bc according to my stepmom 'its not soup season.' cries)

📚- gegegegeggeg favorite book I'm excited. ok here's a few: Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares It's Teeth by Andrew Joseph White, My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix, The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes by Mei Hachimoku, and probably some others I forgot.

The books by Andrew Joseph White have gore, homophobia/transphobia, religious trauma, ableism and a lot of other stuff so I would take caution before reading (I also believe there's a warning at the beginning of them, I might be wrong but I hope I'm not?? I don't have them with me rn)

(excuse my bad summarizing lmao)

Hell Followed With Us is about a trans boy escaping from a cult but he was chosen to be the savior or whatever so he had this like??? substance?? infection??? (OKAY THANK YOU GOODREADS. its a bioweapon) put in him so he'd become the monster thing its great. (lots of gore, though)

The Spirit Bares It's Teeth (okay sorry if this one is especially bad this book is hard to descirbe) is about an autistic trans boy who wants to be a doctor ?? I think there's this whole setting thing with ghosts and stuff (its pretty cool I just don't know how to describe it lmao) basically he's put in an arranged marriage and was diagnosed with 'veil sickness' so he has to go to a boarding school. lots of gore. I don't want to spoil a specific scene but there is gore very much. its a super good book though.. I need to reread it

My Best Friend's Exorcism also has gore in it?? I think?? it gets pretty disturbing so. It's set in the 80's where this girl's best friend goes missing one night and then comes back possessed (obviously, as stated in the title) but no one believes her when she tries to tell people that that is not her friend. her friend gets all evil n shit (I mean she is possessed by a demon)

The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes is about a boy who hears rumors at school about this tunnel that will grant your wishes in exchange for you getting older. he finds the tunnel and is intrigued. (he also wants to know if it can make his sister come back bc she died in a tragic accident)

and unrelated but I also like the Komi Can't Communicate and TBHK mangas :3

ookay moving on~♪

🎬- MY FAVORITE MOVIE IS SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD !!!! ITS SO COOL I WATCHED IT WHEN WE HAD A 6 DAY BREAK DUE TO WEATHER IT WA SSOOO COOOL

📺- I don't really watch tv but I like Young Sheldon, the office, and superstore :33

thanks for the ask even though this is super long and the book summaries probably make no sense at all!!!

Spooky Self-Care

It’s that time of year again—Halloween, when everything gets a little spooky and a lot more fun. But while ghosts and goblins might be lurking around every corner, there’s something scarier that we all face from time to time: burnout and stress. High school can feel like a haunted house, filled with deadlines, exams, and social pressures that can seriously drain your energy.

But fear not! Instead of letting the stress of school and life creep up on you, this Halloween, it’s time to practice some spooky self-care. 🎃 Self-care doesn’t have to be boring or time-consuming—it can be fun, festive, and even Halloween-themed! So grab your favorite cozy blanket and some candy corn, because we’re about to dive into how you can treat yourself right this spooky season.

1. Pumpkin-Spiced Self-Care

Who doesn’t love a little pumpkin spice this time of year? You’ve seen it in lattes, cookies, and even candles. But did you know you can turn that fall flavor into a relaxing self-care routine?

Pumpkin-spiced skincare is a real thing! You can find pumpkin-scented face masks or even DIY one at home using pumpkin puree, honey, and cinnamon. Pumpkins are packed with vitamins A and C, which are great for your skin. So while everyone’s carving their jack-o’-lanterns, you can carve out some time for yourself and treat your skin to a festive spa night. 🧖‍♀️

2. Watch Feel-Good, Not Feel-Fright Movies

Sure, horror movies are all the rage during Halloween, but sometimes watching something too spooky can mess with your mental health, especially if you’re already feeling stressed or anxious. So instead of turning to the usual jump-scare flicks, why not opt for feel-good Halloween classics? Movies like Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, or Casper are just spooky enough to get you into the Halloween spirit, but without leaving you feeling like you need to sleep with the lights on.

Laughter and light-hearted fun can be a great way to unwind after a tough day of school or when you're feeling overwhelmed by all the homework monsters chasing you. 🎬

3. Candy Corn and Chill: Indulge in Sweet Treats

Halloween is the perfect excuse to indulge your sweet tooth! While balance is always important, allowing yourself to enjoy some festive treats can be a simple form of self-care. Bake some Halloween-themed cookies, make caramel apples, or create your own hot chocolate bar with spooky marshmallows and sprinkles.

Food can be comforting, but it’s important to eat mindfully—focus on how it makes you feel, and enjoy the experience rather than just munching through a bag of candy in one sitting. Treating yourself to something sweet is a fun way to show yourself a little love (just be careful not to overdo it, or you might feel like a zombie later!). 🍬

4. Ghosting Stress: Halloween-Themed Journaling

Journaling is one of the best ways to clear out the cobwebs in your mind and process your feelings. For a spooky twist, try a Halloween-themed journaling session. Write about your favorite Halloween memories, or even create your own spooky stories. You could also list the things that “haunt” you—like stress, anxiety, or fears—and then write about how you plan to overcome them.

Seeing your thoughts on paper can make them less intimidating, like unmasking a ghost in a Scooby-Doo episode. Journaling can help you manage your mental health by giving you a space to vent, reflect, and work through your emotions. 📝

5. Cozy Up with Some Witchy Vibes

There’s nothing better than snuggling up on a chilly October night with some candles, a comfy blanket, and maybe a cup of tea (or a pumpkin spice latte!). Setting up a cozy atmosphere can be a great way to practice self-care. Try lighting fall-scented candles, like cinnamon or apple, and curling up with a good book or just listening to some relaxing music.

Taking a break from the digital world and getting lost in a good book or calming playlist can do wonders for your mental health. It’s all about slowing down and creating a peaceful environment where you can recharge your “magic.” ✨

6. Beware of Burnout: Take a Breather

Halloween parties, school events, and hanging out with friends can be a lot of fun—but if you’re already feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to take a step back. You don’t need to be everywhere at once, like a Halloween ghost popping in and out of different parties. Sometimes, the best self-care is simply saying “no” to an invitation and recharging your social battery.

Whether it’s staying in for a quiet night or just taking a break from your usual routine, know that it’s okay to prioritize yourself and your mental health. You don’t need to wear a mask (literal or metaphorical) to impress anyone. 🎭

7. Get Moving with Some Monster Mash

Exercise is a great way to release tension, boost your mood, and shake off stress, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Turn your workout into a Halloween dance party by blasting some spooky hits like “Monster Mash,” “Thriller,” or “Ghostbusters.” Dance like no one’s watching, or try out a Halloween-themed yoga flow (yes, you can find videos for “witchy yoga” online!).

Moving your body helps release endorphins, also known as the “feel-good” chemicals in your brain, which can lift your spirits and leave you feeling more energized. So grab your broomstick, put on your best Halloween playlist, and get moving! 💃

8. Embrace the Dark (But in a Good Way)

While some people fear the dark, there’s something calming about embracing a bit of darkness during Halloween. Dim the lights, light some candles, and practice deep breathing or meditation. Darkness can be soothing and allow you to focus inward, helping you relax and tune out the external world for a bit.

Even 10 minutes of mindfulness or meditation can do wonders for your mental health, especially if you’re feeling like life is as chaotic as a haunted house. Find a quiet corner, let the darkness wrap around you like a cozy blanket, and take a moment to just breathe.

Self-Care Isn’t Scary 👻

Halloween doesn’t have to be all about scares and spooks—it can also be a time to focus on taking care of yourself. Whether you’re pampering yourself with pumpkin-spiced skincare, indulging in your favorite Halloween treats, or dancing to the “Monster Mash,” self-care can be a fun and festive way to boost your mental health.

Just remember: self-care isn’t selfish. It’s a way to recharge your mind, body, and soul so that you can face whatever challenges come your way. So this Halloween, treat yourself to some spooky self-care, and let your inner witch or wizard shine!

Happy Halloween, and don’t forget to take care of yourself—no tricks, all treats! 🎃💀

🌙😱 Nightmares: The Mysterious Connection Between Our Minds & Fears! 👻💭✨

Hello friends! 😊🎉 Welcome back to Aladean! ✨🌟Hope you all are good well and doing excellent in life.

So, today we’re going to talk about... NIGHTMARES! Wooo! 👻💀 Is this an interesting topic? YAAH RIGHT! 🎃✨

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, heart pounding, drenched in sweat, wondering WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! 😨💭 Well, my friends, welcome to the mysterious world of nightmares—where your brain decides to give you a horror movie experience… FOR FREE! 🎬😂

🧠💤 Why Do We Have Nightmares?

Nightmares are like those annoying pop-up ads in your sleep. 🙄 They often come from stress, anxiety, or even spicy food at midnight (Yeah, that extra-large pizza might be haunting you in ways you didn’t expect! 🍕🔥😂). But scientists believe they serve a purpose—helping us process fears and emotions in a safe (but terrifying) way. It’s like your brain’s personal reality TV drama! 📺🎭

🔭🌌 The Telescope Effect of Nightmares

Now, here’s a fun twist! Nightmares work like a telescope 🔭—zooming in on your deepest fears and magnifying them like a cosmic horror show! 🌠😱 Ever had a nightmare where you’re falling endlessly? That’s your brain focusing on your fear of losing control. Or dreaming about your teeth falling out? 🦷😵 That could be anxiety about change or self-image. It’s like your subconscious is playing detective… but in the most dramatic way possible! 🕵️‍♂️💀

🌙😱 Nightmares: The Mysterious Connection Between Our Minds & Fears! 👻💭✨

Hello, dreamers! 🌌😴 Tonight, we’re diving deep into the world of NIGHTMARES! Woooo! 🎃💀 Sounds spooky, right? But guess what? There’s real science behind why we get nightmares! 🧐🔬 So, grab a cozy blanket (and maybe a flashlight 🔦👀) because this is going to be a thrilling ride!

🧠💭 What Exactly Is a Nightmare?

A nightmare is like your brain’s personal horror movie production 🎬—except you don’t get to choose the plot, and you can’t leave the theater! 😨😂 These disturbing dreams often come packed with fear, stress, or overwhelming emotions, making you wake up gasping for air. 😵💨 But why does this happen? Let’s put a scientific telescope on it! 🔭👀

🔬🧬 The Science Behind Nightmares: A Deep Human Connection

Did you know that nightmares are actually an ancient survival mechanism? 🦴⏳ Scientists believe that our ancestors used nightmares as a training ground for survival! 🌿🦁 Imagine being a caveman 🦴🔥—you need to be constantly alert to avoid dangers like wild animals. 🐅😱 So, your brain starts simulating terrifying scenarios in your sleep, teaching you how to react to fear without actually facing real danger! 😲💡

In modern times, we don’t have to run from saber-toothed tigers 🐅🏃‍♂️, but our brain still processes stress, trauma, and fears through nightmares. Your subconscious is like a telescope zooming into your deepest worries, making them bigger and scarier than reality! 🔭👀

🧠 What’s Happening in the Brain? When we dream, a part of our brain called the amygdala (which controls fear and emotions 😨💖) goes into hyperdrive 🚀. Meanwhile, the prefrontal cortex (which helps with logical thinking 🧐📚) takes a little nap 😴. That’s why in nightmares, everything feels real—you can’t just tell yourself, “Hey, this is just a dream.” Instead, your brain treats it as a full-blown survival mission! 🎯🎭

🛌 How to Stop Nightmares & Sleep Peacefully

Tired of waking up scared? 😰💤 Here are some simple but effective ways to keep nightmares away:

🌿 Relax Before Bed – Meditation, soft music, or reading about beautiful galaxies through a telescope 🔭🌌 can calm the mind! ☕ Skip Caffeine & Spicy Food Late at Night – Say no to midnight ghost chili challenges! 😂🔥 📖 Write Down Your Nightmares – Sometimes, putting scary dreams on paper helps the brain process them better! ✍️📜 🛏️ Create a Comforting Sleep Space – Cozy blankets, dim lighting, and maybe a brass telescope on your nightstand to remind you of adventure over fear! ✨🔭

Your Nightmares Are Not Your Enemy!

Nightmares may seem scary, but they’re actually a sign that your brain is working hard to protect you! 🧠⚡ They teach us about our fears, help us process emotions, and sometimes… they just give us a good ghost story to tell our friends the next day! 👀👻😂

Nightmares Are Your Mind's Secret Language 📝🗝️

Ever had a nightmare that felt too real? Like your brain knew something you didn’t? 🤯 Scientists say nightmares aren’t random—they’re your subconscious speaking in metaphors!

🛑 Example: Dreaming about being trapped in a dark room? 🏚️😨 You might feel stuck in a real-life situation but haven’t admitted it to yourself. 💀 Seeing a ghost from your past? 👀👻 Maybe your brain is forcing you to deal with something unresolved.

So next time you have a nightmare, instead of panicking, ask yourself: What is my brain trying to tell me? 🎭🔍

Nightmares Are Glitches in Time & Reality ⏳😵‍💫

Okay, hear me out—what if nightmares aren’t dreams at all? What if they’re glimpses into parallel dimensions where you’re living a different life? 😳💫

🔬 Some scientists believe that time isn’t linear but layered like a telescope’s lenses 🔭—meaning, when you sleep, you might be tuning into another version of YOU!

🚀 Example: Ever dreamed of falling off a cliff? 🌍😱 What if, in another timeline, you actually did?! (Chill, though—you’re safe here! 😅).

Nightmares could be our brains accidentally peeking into alternate realities—or maybe even past lives! 👀💭

Nightmares Are Messages From Another Realm 🌌🛸

Okay, let’s get a little weird. 😏 What if nightmares aren’t from us at all? What if they’re messages from another world? 👀✨

Many ancient cultures believed that dreams (especially nightmares) were spiritual warnings. Some even thought they were visions sent by spirits, gods, or even extraterrestrial beings! 🛸👽

🔮 Example: Some people report seeing the same shadowy figure in their nightmares throughout their life. 😱 What if it's not just a dream but an entity trying to communicate with you? 👻💬

Crazy? Maybe. But admit it—you’re thinking about it now! 😂

👁️ The Nightmare That Watches You

Ever woken up in the middle of the night completely frozen? You try to move, but you can’t. Your body refuses. Your breathing is shallow. And worst of all? You’re not alone.

Something is in the room with you. 🖤👁️ You can feel it. You don’t see it at first, but you just know it’s watching. The air turns ice-cold. ❄️ Your heartbeat pounds in your ears. Then… a shadow shifts in the corner.

You want to scream, but your mouth won’t open. It never does.

😱 This isn’t just a dream. This is real. Scientists call it sleep paralysis. But what if they’re wrong? What if, in that moment… you’re not the one dreaming? What if you’re the one being watched?

🔭 The Telescope That Sees Beyond Dreams

There’s an old legend about an antique brass telescope. No one knows where it came from, but those who look through it at night… never sleep the same again.

👀 People say if you aim it at the stars long enough, you’ll see something staring back. At first, you think it’s a trick of the light. A shadow, a speck. But then, it blinks.

The worst part? Once you’ve seen it… it’s seen you too. And from that night on, you start dreaming of something crawling towards you. Something with no face.

And each night, it gets closer.

So, next time you wake up from a nightmare, take a deep breath. You’re not alone! 💙 And if you need something comforting after a spooky dream, check out our vintage collection at Aladean—we’ve got brass telescopes, nautical wonders, and elegant gifts that are way cooler than any nightmare! 😉🎁✨

Sweet dreams, my friends! 😴🌙💫 And remember—fear is just an illusion… unless it’s your WiFi going down at midnight! 😱📵😂

mito is not the hybrid. what mito says here: I see a light in the dark green Skies. it even glows to my onee side so that's what he says in this part before he transcends back into the upper layers of the other side where Insanity resides he's finally breaking out of his low dimensions.

kind of sounds like I'm doing something Willy Wonka would do.

people underestimate what somebody could do in a year. people underestimate what somebody can do in 2 years. you'll underestimate what somebody can do in 10.

you'll always have haters. you can't please the whole world nor should you try to please the whole world. once you get a hold of trying to please the whole world you lose your integrity. you lose yourself. once you lose that then why are you doing what you do?

no one even looked at me when I was in C-Clown, and we were just being puppeted by the higher ups and we had no say. left a lot of scars in me.

I know my value, I know my worth, but until I could start putting my money where my mouth is I shouldn't expect them to see eye to eye with where I stand and what I want them to see me as.

I've always been hellbent on trying to not prove my worth to anyone other than myself. mission to outdo my past self. I've learned that nothing Stays Gold. but the good moments don't last nor the bad. so you know whether you like it or not, every moment that you are in, this very second that we pass will never come back so you make you make the most out of any moment that you're given. you can choose to see it as a negative or you can choose to see as a positive. but I always say it's how you really look at it.

perspective is such a key aspect and so is context. everyone goes at their own pace so you shouldn't really enforce anything upon them.

I see a light in the dark green Sky it even glows to my one-eyed sight we're here to stay.

I'm not apologetic when it comes to our art. that's why I have a team, otherwise I see no reason to be doing this entirely by myself. I want to stand around a dinner table when I'm like maybe 50, who knows I might have kids and you know all the people that have ever been involved with DPR up to that point fans and obviously our team and their families are here and we're just sitting by some good food and look back at all the things that we've ever created. it's become something where it's not only meaningful to us but it's something extremely meaningful and of value to the world and we can now look at it and just reminisce about all the good times.

that's what I mean when I say I'm here to stay and we're here to stay. no one can take take that away from us. no one will be able to take anything away from you guys too as long as you're here with us. yeah I'm here for you. you're here as much as everyone's here for me and as much as the team's always here for me. we're also here for you guys. I mean that's why we want to give you this. that's why we want to give you more and more and more. as Josh says it: let's let's change the world. why not you know if your intentions are to change it in possibly the best way, why not? like I said guys, the show is forever going to be on. I love your theories. I love watching your reactions. I watch every single reaction video with my team and my team absolutely Ador it. so hey guys big surprise for you two years to come.

I said my peace that's who we are. that's who we forever going to be, DPR. everyone that has ever looked down on me and has ever told me that I couldn't amount to anything and I've always had to fight my way just so much. I have to always fight my way and it's always a freaking battle. "you guys are this, your value is this, what you guys are doing is not marketable". whatever blah blah blah blah blah. welcome to the outside. I love you all dearly and keep your dream tickets handy. and you're soon going to be at the other side too. never let anybody tell you you can't amount to anything. I love you all dearly. you only live once. anyway so enjoy your freaking time with some sweets. why not right?

you know I have a bit of Sweet Tooth myself which is probably why I'm a little bit biased but you get my point so. I love you all. I love you dearly. what else was I going to say? go listen to Giggles. look forward to Artic new kinema.

love you all so much. stay happy. stay true to yourself. and go say hello to a squirrel or a koala once in a while. you might feel a little bit better love. Take good care of yourself.

A Look Back on the Media I Consumed in 2023

(complete with graphics and bingo charts!)

♻️ = a re-read or a re-watch

That gives us this year's reading bingo chart! Two full bingos and almost a third, so that's pretty good.

My favorite book this year was "Circe." I've been away from the classical Greek period for several years now, and Miller's book scratched a particular itch.

📺 Shows I Finished:

Be Cool, Scooby-Doo (best revision of the franchise ever tyvm)

Good Omens (finished season 2… honestly didn't like it as much as the first season)

Grimm (finally finished watching this damn series... I'm glad I did, but I don't think it was worth the time, tbh)

the Horror of Dolores Roach (we support women's rights and women's wrongs)

I'm A Virgo (the irony of watching it on Amazon Prime was not lost on me)

the Legend of Vox Machina (finished Season 1)

📺 Shows I'm Currently Watching:

The Adventures of Batman and Robin (1968, Filmation)

Being Human (American version, partway through Season 1)

Violent Night (2022, 87North Productions)

Wonder Woman (2017, Warner Bros.)

Words on Bathroom Walls (2020, LD Entertainment)

And this year's movie watching bingo chart is... completely covered.

I have achieved ultimate bingo.

I'm not sure what my favorite movie of the bunch was, but "Nope," "Across the Spider-Verse," "the Black Phone," "Totally Killer," "Words on Bathroom Walls," and "the Batman" are all pretty up there.

I tried to watch a movie every Saturday of this year. I didn't hit them all, but I did manage to watch a whopping 33 movies, exposing myself to stories and genres that I normally wouldn't, and I'm very happy to have gotten that far.

I probably won't watch anywhere near that amount of movies in 2024 (I have other plans for the year that are going to be fairly time consuming), but this was a fun experience.

#this is a long one #don't feel bad if you don't want to read it #these posts are more for me than anyone else #my yearly retrospective #life of max #max reads things #max watches stuff #long post

Shall we do an ask game swap? I send you a 🎬 for dear Charlie and you send me one for one of my OCs in return?? 🖤🖤🖤

Yes!!! Hope my ask reached you :)

How would they be introduced?

Charlie would be introduced differently from how he's introduced in my fanfic rewrite of the movie because of the perspective the movie has. I feel like he could be in the library at the start of the movie, sitting in one of the chairs all wrong and reading a book. Then, we get the scene of the librarian getting scared by the ghost and we see Charlie reacting to it, establishing his ESP for the viewer. His true introduction would be when he welcomes the other soon-to-be Ghostbusters and is all giddy and excited but also gets upset at Venkman.

Who the fandom ships them with

In the 80s, the wider fandom would probably ship him with nobody, but nowadays, there's no way people wouldn't ship him with Egon. They would be portrayed as "really close friends", as historians would say... Some people might also ship him with Ray or Venkman (rivals to lovers).

Why the fandom loves them

For his personality, the way he's so confident and awkward at the same time and the way he's always trying to be helpful. He's just trying his best.

Why the fandom hates them

Who could hate Charlie? No, really, I think Charlie essentially betraying his friends could leave a sour taste in people's mouths. Also, his childish behaviour could get annoying.

What the cast relationship would be like

I think it would be great! Charlie’s actor would fit in well with the others, have the same humour, maybe geek out a little with Dan...

What was their audition scene?

I honestly think it could be either when Charlie confesses to being a demon or the scene where Charlie welcomes the others in the library. Both scenes really have the essence of Charlie. Actually, it's both! We'd need two actors for Charlie anyway, one for Charlie and one for Chandrah. They're playing the same character, of course, but in different forms, but they still need to seem like the same character. They would have to show they can be quirky and loveable and a terrible liar/pretender. The key is to look like they're trying and failing miserably at being human.

Dependent on the fandom, who would they be on a press tour/at comic con with?

I mean, the Ghostbusters probably come as a set, don't they? But if I had to pick one person, it would be Harold Ramis, just for the Egon-Charlie dynamic.

Do they spoil things?

I feel like Charlie’s actor would hint very heavily, so much so that it's like a slap in the face when the "Charlie is a demon" reveal comes.

If the show/movie has ended, are they happy with their character's ending and the ending at large?

Now, for this we gotta define what "ending" means here. I say, the ending is for each movie independently. The original Ghostbusters? Definitely happy. Charlie would have gotten a great ending to his character arc. Ghostbusters II? This movie would have been a lot less about Charlie, but still a good ending. But I feel like GB: Afterlife would really be a great closer for Charlie's story with him coming to terms with Egon’s death, ending their story together.

last five for the film ask game? 🎬

32. A book you read for a movie

i read fight club, the haunting of hill house, and annihilation After seeing the movies, but i honestly cant remember the last time i waited on a movie until i finished the book! usually if i read a book that i like enough to seek out a movie adaptation the movie adaptation isnt half as good as the book so i dont even bother with it (we have always lived in the castle and turn of the screw)

33. Favorite Musical

my Actual favorite musical is ghost quartet, which doesnt have a film adaptation if thats what this question wants from me but my favorite movie musical is probably uhhhhhhhhh rocky horror or little shop of horrors

34. Favorite fictional character

this honor goes to my best friend in the whole world and the blueprint for every other favorite character of mine: percy jackson

35. A movie you wished they never made

oh god theres so many but if i have to chose just one its joker because people wont stop telling me id like it and i should watch it and then i have to kill them and kill them and kill them

36. Favorite remake

Hi Sassy :D

🌝, 🎬, and 🚲

Hiiii Tia! Thanks for asking!

🌝 - Day or night

I'm a nighttime gal! I love going for drives around town at night, I love city lights at night, I'm more awake and focused at night.

🎬- Favorite Movie

This one is hard! I have so many. As a kid it was Ghost Rider, hands down. Now I have to say maybe... is it weird to say The Conjuring? 😬 I really love those movies.

🚲- Preferred Type of Transportation

I really enjoy car rides! When my husband and I went on our honeymoon last year, we did a road trip and I loved it! It was so fun to see the sites and idk it's just great. I also got a new car a couple months ago and it's so fun to drive, so yeah. Driving. Flying is cool too but only for a little bit and then I want out 😅

Quarantine emojis~ 😊😘😭😠👻👽☠️👾💍🐶🌤️🍕🍦🏆🎬🎸✈️

OK, let’s see here!

😊: What makes me happy is learning more about things that interest me. The more obscure the information, the more fascinating!

😘: I am not in love with anyone at the moment.

😭: Last thing I cried about was feeling lonely because of not having anyone my age to talk to.

😠: What makes me angry is when people act like idiots.

👻: I don’t believe in ghosts.

👽: I believe aliens could exist, but it’s unlikely they’d be intelligent life. Most likely, they’d be alien plants.

☠️: Biggest fear is feeling limited in life. Feeling like circumstances in my life are preventing me from doing the things I love.

👾: Favorite video games are the Pokémon games. I don’t really have a particular favorite one, because I like all of them a lot. If I had to pick one, though, I’d say HeartGold and SoulSilver for having so much content, while having more updated gameplay than Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

💍: I don’t really have strong feelings either way about getting married. If I find the right person, I might, but if I don’t marry, it’s no big deal.

🐶: Technically, I have two dogs. I say technically because getting them was my parents’ idea, and I have to live with them for now because I still live with my parents.

🌤: My preferred weather is partly cloudy, and a cool, but not cold temperature.

🍕: The pizza toppings I like are cheese, pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, and pineapples. Though honestly I don’t get why pineapples on pizza was such a memetic debate. I’ve also had ranch dressing on pizza, in place of the tomato sauce, and it’s good!

🍦: Favorite flavor of ice cream is a tie between mint and vanilla.

🏆: When I was in JROTC (Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, iirc), they had what they called “special teams,” basically extracurricular activities that you had to be in JROTC to join. I was part of the academics team, where we would study all kinds of information (an eclectic variety of information that sometimes but didn’t always involve JROTC concepts). My school ended up in first place during the last inter-school competition. I particularly was proud of my score when reciting something (I forget what it was called, but it was basically a long declaration that you were a JROTC cadet and that you would uphold the values of one), and I got 149 out of a possible 150 points. I only lost the one point because I messed up one word.

🎬: Favorite movie is Princess Mononoke. I really liked the writing, in particular how morally grey the characters could be (the main antagonist wanted to mine minerals, but it was to help her people, while Moro-no-Kimi wanted to preserve the forest, but was ruthless because she had to be). I also liked how they handled gender roles in the film, showing both characters who conform to gender roles and those who don’t, and presenting them as equally important to the plot.

🎸: I have an ocarina that I play every once in a while. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly good at it though, mostly because I am musically illiterate and have to rely on tabs (charts showing which holes to have covered), with no real formal education on it. I can play a few songs, however.

✈️: Last place I travelled to was Ohio to visit my grandma and uncle. It’s been a while, though.

Hey so I think I’ve reblogged one of your fics before (the massage one?? Where I was like why don’t they have reverse viagra for these situations???) but that was on one of my better days when I’m able to leave a nice, short, readable comment and not a hot mess like

So bear with me while I lay down a couple of disclaimers on the off chance you want to proceed with reading this hot mess

😵‍💫😆

(And also so don't come off like a troll or a random heckler lol)

⚠️My usual disclaimer is: nervous attempts at humour = my love language and the only way I know how to show appreciation for things I enjoy.

so basically like, if u ever watched Mystery Science Theatre 3000 where they watch a movie and riff on it, that's the only way know how to comment.

I mean obviously I am capable of leaving comments like a normal person but it makes me feel idk, insincere lol… like I’m holding back information that they may or may not want so I guess I’ll just show my entire hand and u can choose if u want to experience the chaos 🙃🤷‍♀️

As per standard safety procedures, here is a cut to protect ur eyes and ur soul

Stays in his room and only comes out when Steve forces him to join the rest of them for dinner.

Ahhh nothing like those good ol’ adolescent years.

One early morning, after you've already tied your shoes, you go to the kitchen for a glass of water

Wow @ this humble brag about tying your own shoes AND hydrating 😫

I literally have not tied my shoes in like 10 years lol. I tie them ONCE when I first wear them, and then never again unless the knot comes undone (which it doesn’t, bc I double knot that sucker). Is this not what most ppl do lol??

The only shoes I tie on a regular basis are my docs bc those mfs are still stiff af even after years of wear

🎬🎥🎞️

We interrupt this comment for an unskippable ad short film based on a fanfic of the fanfic u just read!! Please enjoy!!!

Bucky sitting at the counter staring daggers at the cup of coffee in front of him

Me: lol ‘sup Macbeth 😂

Bucky: …???

Me: haha a dagger of the mind, eh? A false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?

Bucky: *leaves the room*

Me: *taps a fork against my glass to make a “ding, ding” sound as he’s leaving * 🛎️🛎️

Bucky: *continues walking down the hall*

Me, calling after him in a dramatic whisper: He goes and it is done; 😮 the bell invites him. Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or to hell💀 *makes a spooky ghost noise*

⏳ 10 min later ⏳

I shove the following notes under his door

Note 1: Lol do u get it??

Note 2: bc it looked like u were staring daggers into ur coffee cup haha

Note 3: U know, like in Macbeth?

Note 4: “Is this a Is this a dagger which I see before me” LMAO (see drawing below)

⏳ 5 min later ⏳

Note 5: it’s in ACT II, Scene I

Meanwhile Alpine just like shredding all the paper that comes through the door 😂😂

⏳The next day⏳

I receive notice of my immediate termination in the mail

Me: oh shit… “Buchanan Barnes” is Scottish as heck!!! I should have known better than to mention the Scottish play to a Scotsman. FUCK!!!!

🤦‍♀️

⏳2 min later ⏳

Me: although technically, the name is only cursed if you say it within a theatre…. Alright I’m suing for unfair dismissal 😤

… Somewhere in Hells Kitchen, a phone rings…

Cut to me, huddled on my bed, wrapped in blankets like a mischievous burrito, furiously taping on my phone

Me (internal monologue, voiced by Gossip Girl herself, Kristen Bell): ok so I took the words “staring daggers” from a single line in the fic, turned it into a reference that was probably outside the authors intentions, and then wrote my own mini skit with a surprise Alpine cameo, followed by a twist ending just like the extra post credit scenes in the real marvel movies!! Oh boy, OP is going to love this!!! 😃😃😃*very of proud myself*

Screen fades to black with the following text in white:

As it turned out, OP never even saw the skit bc they stopped reading after I admitted I hadn’t tied my shoes in 10 years

FIN

Alternate version ending:

Me (voice over): oh boy, OP is going to love this!!! *very of proud myself*

Screen fades to black with the following text in white:

As it turned out, OP was actually a superstitious Scot who works in the theatre industry, and did not “love” the joke

FIN

Directors cut ending:

Me (V/O): oh boy, OP is going to love this!!! *very of proud myself*

Screen fades to black and then this gif appears

OP:

FIN

84 year anniversary collectors edition ending (expected release date - 2105):

Me (V/O): oh boy, OP is going to love this!!! *very of proud myself*

Screen fades to black and then a ✨hologram✨of OP appears in front of the viewer:

OP:

FIN

Thank you for watching!! Your comment section will now resume!

"Bad night," he explains without looking away from his mug and you suggest that he should come for a run with you.

Alexa, play

"No thanks. It's okay. It'll be better tomorrow,”

Me: Sure, Jan. 🙄

Bucky: … what?

Me: don’t give me that “After all, tomorrow is another day” Scarlett O’Hara “Gone With the Wind” BS 😒

Bucky: … I think… I’ve actually seen that one!

Me: ya dude, it’s like an old ass film

Bucky: …

Me: wait did u see the Wizard of Oz when it came out!?? That shit must have been dope af! Ok, bro, u have to see this deepfake where they remade the trailer but like with u guys as the characters! And by u guys, I mean Peter, Stark, Thor and the other guy that hangs out with the raccoon. Sorry u didn’t make the cut buddy. Anyway, look:

youtube

Bucky: *nightmares intensify*

But the next few mornings, you find him occupying the exact same chair by the kitchen counter.

Me: HEY man, did u hear all the updog outside??

*waits for him to say “what’s updog” so I can say “not much, what’s up with u hahaha”*

Bucky: …

By the fourth morning, he's not in his normal hoodie and sweats, but has changed into what you recognise as Steve's running gear. "Steve said I should go with you," he says hesitantly and waits for you to tell him that your invitation was nothing but a joke.

Me: *planned to actually tell him the invitation was a joke bc I can’t run 5 min without vomiting…but now I see he’s waiting for me to say it was a joke, and it makes me feel bad so I play along*

😬🤦‍♀️

Me: uh ya, let’s do like a speed walk thing to warm up maybe?

Me, internally fuming while speed walking: fuck u Steve. That twerp KNOWS I can’t run for shit and used Bucky to call my bluff 😤why I oughta… *passes out after speed walking for 3 min)*

Also like, maybe I just don’t go to the gym or do any exercise, but does everyone have their own branded gear? What does that mean “Steve’s running gear”? It’s like the same as his suit but with short sleeves and shorts?

🤔

You meet up in the kitchen every morning for several weeks without uttering a single word to each other apart from "good morning," and "great run today".

I literally don’t have the breath to say anything else bc I’m deadass exhausted from this charade

😫

And you run. Every day. No matter the weather, no matter what kind of night Bucky has had. It does him good. The colour in his cheeks comes back, his hair looks healthier

Meanwhile, I’m like:

sometimes, you even catch him running with a smile on his lips, his eyes closed as he savours the smell of nature waking up around him.

Me: 😒 ok well glad someone is having a good time

from "great run today" to "see you tomorrow" to "see you later"

“See u later”??? Heck no one run a day is alway one too many runs for me. Nope. 😰

You love your runs.

Me: saying this over and over to myself like a personal mantra until I become delusional enough to believe it like the handmaids with their autopilot “Blessed be the Fruit” greetings

It's 1.30 a.m when you wake up to muffled screams coming from Bucky's room down the corridor.

Me: wow, this mf-er is really watching a horror movie without me??? Thought we were friends smh 😤😤😤

Steve's out on a mission so without bothering to pull on some pants

Lmao I did a double take when I read this bc I thought it meant Steve didn’t put on pants 😭… it was such an emergency he didn’t have time to put on pants before leaving for the mission??? How would she even know that??? Also I always thought the suit was like a onesie type deal haha

you run towards the screams that only grow louder and louder with each step

Wow, I’m a white girl in a horror movie huh

😬

After several minutes in Bucky's room, you finally manage to wake him up

Was the door just like, open?

How do u wake him up tho? I’d get the longest broom I could find so I can keep maximum distance between us and just like, sweep over his face until he sneezed.

when you touch a hand to his damp face and remind him where he is, his breathing finally slows

Me: hey man, wake up!! U are safe! Do u know where u are??

Bucky: *gives the address of the tower*

Me: ok I’m actually Canadian and idk any of the streets in NYC so I’m just going to assume u are correct. Good job 👍

You ground him, and he puts his arms around your waistline, and he holds you close, and he cries.

Me, who gets the skeevies from physical contact irl: …. *slowly slips out of his grasp and replaces my body with a like 3 pillows with a basketball on top for the head, then stands at a distance to brush his hair with the broom*🧹

The next morning, he isn't in the kitchen.

Me: THANK FUCKING GOD, no run today 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Instead, you find him in his room.

Tbh I only went there to get the basketball back bc I had to sign it out from the gym and I don’t want to have to pay fines for not returning it on time

But like the night before, you assure him that everything's alright, that there's no need to apologise and you hand him his running shoes.

Me: why don’t we… take these to the dry cleaners. That’s how modern people clean their shoes!! And also let’s take an Uber to the dry cleaners, bc it’s “take an Uber to the dry cleaners day”. It’s like, one of those new holidays u prob haven’t heard about

so you stay on high alert every night and you make sure that Bucky wakes up from his nightmares.

Me: dragging my sewn together pillow basketball head scarecrow down the hallway with a broom strapped to my back

you hear two soft words whispered faintly against your neck. Don't go

Me: huh, he must have a song stuck in his head. Didn’t expect him to be a fan of Skrillex but whatever 🤷‍♀️ *leaves*

So, you stay. Every night. Even after Steve comes back from his mission.

Yes, “I” stay…

Steve, going to check on Bucky and sees the weird ass pillow basketball head scarecrow thing on his bed: 😱😱😱

but one night, right before he drifts off, he finds your hand underneath the duvet, and he holds it to the angry scars on his chest and he squeezes it tight.

Me: Goddammit 😰

*sews a rubber glove to a long sock and stuffs it with cotton balls, then staples it to the body of the pillow b-ball scarecrow*

Perfect!! 👩‍🎨

you hear an accidental "see you tonight, doll!" slip past his lips

Me, thinking this is a “Lars and the Real Girl” type of situation: oh cute, he gave scarecrow a name! I mean kind of unoriginal….but his brain is like super fried so who am I to judge 😐

You run every morning

Me:

You yearn for him to kiss you and sometimes when it's just the two of you, it looks as if he's just about to do it

Fic: becomes romantic

Me: *packing my bags* welp, my work here is done. Peace out y’all ✌️

Lol jk I’m still reading the rest I just don’t know how to interact anymore, haha. (Not in a bad way, I still enjoy the content and think it’s interesting but like emotionally I’m out of my depth so I’ll just switch to spectator mode…Omg and I feel this sounds like I’m implying the author didn’t do a good job but it’s the opposite

😓

irl I’m not really a romantic relationship person (OP, after having read the entirety of the pillow scarecrow saga: what? No waaaay /sarcasm) and I try to uh, like gain understanding of that perspective by reading if that makes sense? So I’m still along for the ride except now I’m like taking notes in the margins instead of live tweeting memes 😅)

Author: so what you’re saying is… the more romantic content I have in the fic… the fewer unhinged comments u will leave? Interesting… 😏

Sam mockingly calls you his girlfriend and when Bucky finally takes the bait and one day snaps that you're not his girlfriend, Sam smirks triumphantly.

Comical misunderstanding on my part lol - on the first read I thought u meant Sam calls reader his (Sam’s) gf in an attempt to make Bucky jealous and admit his attraction to reader, and then one day Bucky snaps and is like “Sam stfu she’s not ur gf”

But then u wrote

"But you want her to be," he says with a shit-eating grin,

And I was like *record scratch noise* wait what? Sam is telling Bucky that he (Bucky) wants reader to be Sam’s gf??? So I realized I made a processing error and Sam was saying reader is Bucky’s gf

My programmer: yes!!! Good job! You’re right on track to pass that Turing test!!🤖

Bucky doesn't like the sound of fireworks so

Don’t these sound exactly like gunshots tho? But I guess maybe he doesn’t like gunshots either or his super ears can tell the difference?

his head meets your shoulder

Procter & Gamble CEO: and that kids, is how we came up with America's #1 dandruff shampoo brand! 💆‍♀️💆💆‍♂️🧴

"Hi doll," he says softly,

Me: wow wtf do I really look that much like the pillow b-ball scarecrow? I mean I put a lot of work into the concept but it’s meant to be used at night so I didn’t really focus on the visuals. I’m low key offended rn tbh

His eyes scan over your face and he takes a step closer

Bucky: did you… change your makeup or something? Get a haircut? Idk I just feel like your head is usually more round and orange???

and when he finally finds your mouth again and slowly slips his tongue inside, you know you've both found your way home.

Company guy: ok team, so the customer feedback we’ve been getting on our new GPS system has been…mixed. Here’s the gist of what people dislike:

the way in which the directions are delivered is too personal

2-3 months is an unreasonable amount of time to wait before the product provides directions to your house

The daily exercise requirement and nightly care routine to charge up the device is overwhelming and too time consuming

In addition, several people were displeased that the exercise gear for running was not included in the package, although this is explicitly stated in the directions

We’ve also gotten some feedback about wanting the product to have different hairstyle and clothing options

Many men say they feel uncomfortable using the product as the experience is too intimate

On the plus side, we’ve had a handful of 💫glowing reviews from men and women, but they seem to focus on the experience of learning how to use the product rather than the final GPS results it delivers…🤔

Nevertheless, some of these customers are requesting variations of this GPS system that will provide them with directions to work, the grocery store, and various other locations, but I think our main goal should be to polish up the current model.

What do you guys think???

🔚

Lmao if u read this entire thing idk, u are a brave and tolerant soul and I hope baphomet blesses you (dw, I’ll mention it to him at our next coven meeting)

Ty for writing such a great piece and sharing it w us 💗

(Weird personal anecdote below that u are free to skip bc idk if it’s relevant at all lmao)

idk if I was able to really express this in my “comments” bc sincerity is not my strong suit, but by the end it kind of made me feel a bit sentimental lol.

Like… think the combination of how you portrayed reader’s devotion to Bucky/Bucky warming up to reader/and a little bit of my insistence on doubling down on the pillow scarecrow joke that definitely went on for too long, made me think of this old timey comedy ballet called “Coppélia”.

I saw this when I was so where btwn 7-10 years old and my memory ain’t shit, so it’s one of the few clear memories I have from that time period 😂(the others are like, deadass eating a cigarette on the beach, breaking my arm and losing colour vision for an hour, etc).

Anyway, as a kid I was somehow waaay more emotional aware and empathetic than I am as an adult now, and I remember like, bawling in the theatre bc I thought this shit was real (ie. it was re-telling of a true story that actually happened.

(spoilers for this ballet below lol)

I didn’t catch that Swanhilda pulled a fast one on the doctor and switched clothes w/ Coppélia (the doll), and I thought she legit allowed herself to be sacrificed for her soul to “reanimate” Coppélia, so that fuck boi Franz could be with the girl he “loved” (even though Swan had feelings for Franz too).

So in my mind, I was like, wow, this girl gave up her life to animate this doll that her crush thought was real??? That’s so selfless and the dude didn’t even know she sacrificed herself like that!!!! It was a truly altruistic act 😭

Ya so my dumbass had an emotional breakdown for some reason and I guess I never looked up the real plot until I was in university or something, so I went YEARS with this tragic story on my head and when we had to read stuff like “Romeo & Juliet” or “A Tale of Two Cities” at school I was throughly unimpressed bc I was like no, the doll sacrifice ballet did it BETTER!!!😡😡😡 (even tho thinking about it now, tale of two cities is the more tragic story haha)

The way u wrote how reader was consistently there to support Bucky without pushing her own feelings on him somehow unlocked that memory in my head and I was like wow, I used to have a lot of feelings that I haven’t felt in a while, and it made me nostalgic in a good way. 🥲

Anyway haha whatever good talk, thanks for the story.

The Way Home (Bucky Barnes x Reader)

Summary: On how you help Bucky find peace in his new life

Words: 1.5K

Fluff, fluff and pure fluff 💕

- Bucky is quiet at first. Follows Steve around like a lost puppy, doesn't really say much. Still, you can tell that he’s kind. That he isn't what the papers make him out to be.

- The entire team welcomes him with open arms, wants to make him feel at home, but Bucky still keeps to himself. Stays in his room and only comes out when Steve forces him to join the rest of them for dinner. Doesn't say anything apart from the occasional quiet "it's okay" to his best friend or the half-snarled snarky comment he can't hold back when Sam says something he thinks is dumb. But in between, he's quiet. Completely silent, really.

- You've caught him looking at you a few times, and you've seen the unwelcome, pointed elbow Sam shoves between his ribs when you walk into the room, but when you send Bucky a smile in return, he always looks away and goes about his business as if nothing's happened. Maybe a little more irritated at Sam and his wiggling eyebrows than before, but that's it.

- One early morning, after you've already tied your shoes, you go to the kitchen for a glass of water before your daily run. Not expecting anybody to be up at these hours, you're surprised to see Bucky sitting at the counter staring daggers at the cup of coffee in front of him. "Bad night," he explains without looking away from his mug and you suggest that he should come for a run with you. That it always helps when you have too many thoughts in your head. "No thanks. It's okay. It'll be better tomorrow,” he says quietly while tapping his finger on the rim of the mug.

- But the next few mornings, you find him occupying the exact same chair by the kitchen counter.

- By the fourth morning, he's not in his normal hoodie and sweats, but has changed into what you recognise as Steve's running gear. "Steve said I should go with you," he says hesitantly and waits for you to tell him that your invitation was nothing but a joke. But it wasn't. So you smile and tell him he's more than welcome.

- You meet up in the kitchen every morning for several weeks without uttering a single word to each other apart from "good morning," and "great run today".

- And you run. Every day. No matter the weather, no matter what kind of night Bucky has had. It does him good. The colour in his cheeks comes back, his hair looks healthier, and sometimes, you even catch him running with a smile on his lips, his eyes closed as he savours the smell of nature waking up around him.

- It slowly transgresses from "great run today" to "see you tomorrow" to "see you later".

- He starts nodding his head when he passes you by in the hallway, and he gives you a shy 'hi' when he sits down for dinner (much to Sam's smirking delight), but your favourite part of the day is still when he stands in the middle of the dark kitchen, awkwardly waving and saying 'good morning'.

- You love your runs. You love your time together with Bucky. He seems happier. Almost carefree. But things don't really speed up until two months in.

- It's 1.30 a.m when you wake up to muffled screams coming from Bucky's room down the corridor. Steve's out on a mission so without bothering to pull on some pants, you run towards the screams that only grow louder and louder with each step.

- After several minutes in Bucky's room, you finally manage to wake him up. He looks horrified, scared of his own shadow, of himself, of you, but when you touch a hand to his damp face and remind him where he is, his breathing finally slows. You ground him, and he puts his arms around your waistline, and he holds you close, and he cries. Like you've never seen anyone cry before. He fists your pyjama shirt, and you stroke him over his hair and assure him that everything's okay. That he's safe. That he's home. That he isn't alone. And you repeat your words with your fingers raking over his scalp until his grip finally releases its hold on your crinkled pyjamas and he falls asleep, warm, and safe, and loved in your embrace.

- And because you don't want to overstep, you sneak back to your own bed.

- The next morning, he isn't in the kitchen.

- Instead, you find him in his room. His face is burning red with humiliation, and he can't even look at you when he stutters out an apology. But like the night before, you assure him that everything's alright, that there's no need to apologise and you hand him his running shoes.

- You run and you go about your day as if nothing's happened. He seems grateful for that. It's your little secret.

- Steve doesn't come home for a few days, so you stay on high alert every night and you make sure that Bucky wakes up from his nightmares.

- You usually sneak back to your own room around 3 in the morning but one night, when you think he's fast asleep, you hear two soft words whispered faintly against your neck. Don't go.

- So, you stay. Every night. Even after Steve comes back from his mission.

- Bucky still doesn't say much, but one night, right before he drifts off, he finds your hand underneath the duvet, and he holds it to the angry scars on his chest and he squeezes it tight. "You make me feel human again," he whispers and closes his eyes. Not sure what to say, you just press in against his innocent, wretched heart while trying to hold back the tears.

- One evening, when you bid the people in the living room goodnight, you hear an accidental "see you tonight, doll!" slip past his lips. Not sure if Steve's eyes are about to tumble out of their sockets due to Bucky's accidental confession or the old-fashioned nickname, you cannot help but laugh a little. Bucky gulps uncomfortably as if he's somehow said something upsetting, but at least he doesn't look away when Sam smirkingly elbows him in the side.

- "What? No doll today?" you ask him with a raised eyebrow when he merely says "mornin'" the day after his blunder. His cheeks turn a dusted shade of pink but it's the first time you hear him chuckle.

- You run every morning, and you eat dinner together with the rest of the team in the evenings, and you sleep in his bed at night. He's suddenly not as quiet anymore. Still reserved, yes, but he laughs along to jokes, and he always enters the room with a smile on his face. Doesn't shy away from conversation any longer.

- You yearn for him to kiss you and sometimes when it's just the two of you, it looks as if he's just about to do it, but hesitation always gets the best of him, and he manages to stop himself before he's even taken the first step. And you don't want to push him.

- Sam mockingly calls you his girlfriend and when Bucky finally takes the bait and one day snaps that you're not his girlfriend, Sam smirks triumphantly. "But you want her to be," he says with a shit-eating grin, and you pretend not to overhear that Bucky doesn't really have a great comeback to that.

- It all escalates on the night of Steve's birthday. Bucky doesn't like the sound of fireworks so the two of you have volunteered to clean up after dinner while the others are visiting the lake nearby.

- You're in the midst of clearing the table, when you suddenly feel Bucky's arms snake around your waist, and his head meets your shoulder. "Hi doll," he says softly, and you lean your head against his chest and entangle your fingers with his while you sway back and forth to his favourite song playing in the background.

- "There's something I have to tell you," he muses quietly and tilts your head with an index finger placed underneath your chin. His eyes scan over your face and he takes a step closer to your anticipating body while the hand he has placed over your stomach travels to your waistline.

- "I'm crazy about you," he finally whispers in a heartfelt confession, and you feel the love pour out of his words, his touch, his rapid heartbeat that is pressed to your spine. "- I haven't felt this way since before the war -" his soft eyes are drawing you in, his lips mere inches away, and you let him pull you closer, closer, closer. "Sweetheart, I want you to be mine..."

- You don't answer. You just turn around in his arms and you stand on your tiptoes and let yourself be engulfed by his soft lips as you finally reach for him.

- Your hands are buried in his long hair and while you're surrounded by dirty pans and plates stacked high on the kitchen table beside you, he trails his wet mouth all the way down your throat. He nibbles and sucks and kisses at your burning skin, and when he finally finds your mouth again and slowly slips his tongue inside, you know you've both found your way home.
