Stiles sits in the front row at the funeral.

He’s next to Mellisa, who hasn’t been able to stop crying since she got the news. Stiles’ dad had organized the whole thing, talking with the funerary home and picking up the coffin and the arrangements. He’d only asked Melissa what she wanted on the headstone.

Raphael had showed up the day after. For the first time in his life, he’d looked a mess, hair everywhere and clothes wrinkled as he stormed into the house asking what had happened to his son, tears already gathering in his eyes before he even got a look at Melissa’s face. Stiles hadn’t made fun of him. Stiles hadn’t said anything at all. Raphael sits on Melissa’s other side now, and she grips his hand tight enough it turns white. He hasn’t been back for five years.

God, Scott hadn’t seen his had for five years, and now he’s dead. Scott’s dead.

Stiles thinks it still hasn’t sunk in. He’s in the middle of his best friend’s funeral - it’s closed casket because his body was so mangled up that the EMPs could barely recognize him. Stiles had heard his dad on the phone with one of his deputies talking about it, before he’d realized just whose body they were talking about - and it still hasn’t clicked that Scott won’t be coming out of his casket, that this isn’t some kind of sick practical joke for getting him out of bed the night before school started.

Stiles is not crying. He hasn’t cried once since hearing the news. His dad is crying, sitting on his other side. Scott’s like a second son to him.

Was. Scott was like a second son to him. Was because he’s gone now. Because he’s dead.

Scott’s dead.

His best friend since preschool is dead. His brother is dead. The kindest, most caring person in the world is dead. Stiles goaded him into going to the preserve to look for half a dead body - and God, he’s such an asshole. A dead body? What was he even thinking? - and now Scott doesn’t even get to show his face at his own funeral because whatever killed him barely left any of him to bury.

If only he’d stayed. If only he’d told his dad Scott was with him that night instead of leaving him there. But no, Stiles hadn’t wanted Scott to get grounded because he dragged him out of bed, so he’d kept quiet. Even when he’d seen the pair of red eyes and that— that thing in the corner of his eye. Stiles hadn’t said anything. He thought they’d laugh about it at lunch the next day.

Now Scott’s dead.

Scott is dead.

And Stiles knows exactly what did it.

(He’s going to fucking kill it.)

My idea of kid Yuu! \^o^/

So, I have a Yuu that's basically a kid that's around 10-13 and has extreme PTSD from stuff in their world and is very mature because they had to be independent and all that crap. Totally not a self-projection. But they also have a lot of bad habits like; barley eating, not really opening up to people, freaks out when people yell at them or when they get in trouble, just stuff like that... I can just imagine how Yuu would react and interact with the other equally traumatized students at NRC.

I feel like they would comfort every character after they're overblot and be like "There, there, I know how you feel. It'll be okay..." Just imagine this little kid that's way to mature for their age cheering up some irresponsible teenage boys. It would be both heartwarming and kinda sad when the boys overblot and Yuu just completely shuts down but still comforts them afterwards. Yuu would also probably be scared around the dudes who overbloted but just act like their fine since they don't want to share their feeling with others, yet they comfort everyone else. Whenever an overblot happens or Yuu gets in trouble they would hold in their emotions until they get too Ramshackle then they'd have a crying session while holding Grim in their arms. The ghosts would also comfort them of course.

A lot of the characters (Leona, Rook, Lilia, etc.) would notice Yuu's behavior almost immediately and they would try their best to make sure Yuu avoids anything that might cause them to freak out. I doubt Leona would do this at first but then Yuu has a sincere talk with him after his overblot and Leona becomes secretly protective. Rook would just find Yuu intriguing because they're from another world and he would stalk observe Yuu for a bit before finding out about their behavior then he would become 100% more interested. Lilia would basically adopt Yuu to no one's surprise. He would give Yuu advice and help slowly fade Yuu's unhealthy habits overtime.

The teachers (Crewel, Trein, Vargas.) would be much more patient and understanding with Yuu if they fail a test or make a mess, for a few reasons. First, Yuu is a kid in a collage so it's stupid to expect them to get straight A's no matter how smart or mature they are. Second, the first time one of the teachers got mad or yelled at Yuu, they basically had a panic attack, completely shut down, and refused to talk to anyone for a few hours. Since then, the teachers realized something's up with this kid and decided to take a gentler approach. They also adopt Yuu.

I also like the idea that this Yuu played Twisted Wonderland in their world and was addicted to it. I feel like it would be funny for a little kid trying to act normal, like they don't know practically everything about everyone in NRC. And it would be easier for Yuu to relate and comfort everyone in the game if they know what they're going through.

Sorry about this little rant...I just felt like writing something on here so here we are. I might, maybe, probably, write some stuff with this kid Yuu. I should also name them instead of just kid Yuu or Yuu, right?

no offense but i think when critiquing jay’s (and let’s be real all of the OG four ninja’s) behavior in the pilots and early seasons, a lot of people ignore that the cultural context and attitude about misogyny and especially misogyny in children’s media is VERY different today than it was in the late 2000s/early 2010s

I recognize that I'm PMSing and I'm very much in my head right now, which is usually what happens, but bear with me. These feelings, while real, are...augmented, I guess. Everything feels bigger once a month and I just needed to get this out.

Aside from dealing with quite a bit offline right, I'd say I'm also struggling online and have been for quite some time. Part of being very much in my head looks a lot like questioning whether I still belong here, wondering if people out in Internet-land are mad at me or have suddenly decided that they've had enough of me (and I'm still reeling from a particularly bad friendship breakup, so that doesn't make things any easier), and overthinking/overanalyzing ever. single. interaction. on this damn website and the Internet at large.

My therapist said today that it's even more important to take care of myself right now (I haven't exactly talked about my insecurities online, but this is still applicable) to maintain my sense of self because my relationship with myself and how I see myself is one of the things that's gonna help guide me through this. It feels like I give and give and give, both online and off, and it's almost like I'm giving away little pieces of myself, you know? I truly do wonder if I'm trying too hard to be liked, to stay "relevant," rather than let my real self shine through. And that's not gonna get me anywhere is it? What will be left of me in the end? Don't even get me started on the "are they mad at me?" nonsense because my solutions-oriented brain goes into overdrive wanting to fix what's at the root of that problem and the not knowing drives me crazy.

I often ask myself if I'll just up and leave one day. Or maybe I just need to take a break? I always talk about that and never do it. But then I'll wake up tomorrow, and it'll be Wednesday, and things will be okay. I'm sure it probably sounds like I've said a lot without actually saying anything, but so it is.

This is all to say, PMS sucks and I'd like my regular brain back, okay? 🙃

Once I head someone say Sarah is the only really necessary or meaningful female character, and that Nazz and the Kankers are pretty much disposable; ''Nazz has no personality, and the Kankers are absent from 50% of episodes and are just a Diabolous ex-machina ending when they appear. The could work very well without any of them.''

What do you think of this?

are they implying that she's only "meaningful" because she's related to ed? because...yikes dog. sarah serves a pretty similar role to the kankers in that she foils the scams and pranks and acts as an obstacle and/or deterrent. an antagonist. but the way they fulfill the role and the reaction they get from the eds are different in ways that i'm too lazy to get into at the moment.

now i could genuinely be missing something because i've never taken a class on media analysis or whatever the fuck, but i truly don't get what people mean when they say nazz is uniquely lacking in personality. i'm not saying eene has excellent, fleshed out female characters, but some people act as if 1) any of the non-eds have highly complex personalities that are explored canonically 2) being kind, outgoing, flirtatious, sporty, etc. aren't personality traits. just because someone doesn't like her personality doesn't mean it doesn't exist. and we know just as much, if not more about nazz's interests than we do the kankers. or jonny: he likes wood, is laid back and seems to enjoy superheroes. or kevin: he likes bmx. he's a bully. he has a crush on nazz. he's buds with rolf, whose backstory we probably know the most about after the eds (maybe even more?). then there's jimmy who lowkey has a great, complex personality.

seems like since nazz is pretty, is into stereotypically "girly" things and is nice, people consider her a "bad" (female) character. which to me is hilarious and ironic. these are the same people who call the kankers "evil". like okay... 😂

this idea that all female characters are supposed to be virtuous geniuses... it's a show about 3 dumbass preteen boys. there are tons of female-led shows available out there, and female main characters galore. these people should go watch em. seriously. im tired of hearing about it frankly.

oh and if edd was canonically a girl, people would hate her and call her a mary sue 👍

you’re created with hands circling your wrists. there’s never any offense meant, you must understand - it’s simply that you’re a story, and someone’s come by this desperate need to learn how to let the hell go.
