#omnomnom I eat that shit up

[gingermintpepper]

drop the link on that fic of Zeus being a good dad?

Absolutely my friend!

As you can see, it's called Trials of Fatherhood by the lovely @z-eusie and in-between my agonies and right now, she's actually updated the fic and now the Apollo chapter is live!! Everyone should go read this fic, actually! It's a wonderful little compilation of moments that allow for showing both the ugliness and beauty of the gods when taken from a nuanced, compassionate perspective and it's always been one of my favourites to go back to every now and then just because of how fond I am of it. I'm especially fond of the Athena and Dionysus chapters myself but I hope everyone finds their favourite one. <33

hold on babe i need to hyperfixate on kubosai headcannons before i do my homeworks and go to sleep

They love cooking for each other and often insist on making breakfast/lunch/dinner/etc.

They would have a whole section of their room of bookshelves with the books they like to read together.

They would doodle on eachother a lot when they're bored in class. (teachers would think its absolutely adorable but Kusuo thinks it's really hard to wash off since the ink gets on his gloves)

Aren has a whole sketchbook of his drawings but it consists mostly of Kusuo.

Kusuo likes to wear lavender colored clothes because it reminds him of his boyfriend.

Aren daydreams a lot about his pink-haired lover and said lover gets immediately flustered about the thoughts Aren has about him.

Kusuo goes to Arens house to sleep over a lot. He also goes there sometimes for no reason at all, but mostly when Kuniharu is whining at Kusuo.

Kusuo teaches Aren recipes for baking and they bake a lot.

Aren likes to take Kusuo on motorcycle rides and Kusuo enjoys going on them.

Their snarky attitudes to one another causes people to think they're fighting but that's just them being funny and silly with each other.

Kusuo likes to spoil Aren rotten. Aren does too. It's just a whole fiasco of them spoiling each other.

They would always sit beside each other at lunch in school. Sometimes, when they're done eating, they cuddle a lot or they're just mooning over the other. People get very jealous of their relationship.

Kaido daydreams about a whole wedding going on between his right and left hand.

Nendo thinks its funny to pick Kusuo up like a sack of potatoes and speed to who knows where while Aren runs after them around the whole place.

One time, some people were gossiping about Aren and saying shit spreading rumors about him and Kusuo made sure no one ever saw that group of people ever again. People said they transferred schools. (Yea they probably didn't)

Takahashi and his gang were doing shit to Kusuo at gym so Aren beat 'em up after school and they never did anything to him again.

Kusuo has a habit of fixing Arens wrinkled clothes, mostly his collar.

"What the hell do you mean I can't say 'fuck you' to my boyfriend and make out with him afterwards?"

Kusuo is already embarrassed about the way he and Aren are affectionate in public but he just can't help himself either.

Kusuo loves caressing Arens hair, he brushes his fingers through it regularly. Aren loves the free massages he gets from it.

Aren has a tendency to nuzzle Kusuos neck, he bites it frequently too. Kusuo gets annoyed. Aren also gets annoyed cus he can't understand why he's able to bite an all-powerful psychic but can't leave any damn hickeys.

They both just LOVE physical affection. They enjoy hugging, body on body, just even holding hands makes them feel happy, CUDDLES.

"Please, PLEASE, let me kill your dad." both of them say.

They hate each others dads but they talk and keep it to themselves cus respect.

Whereas, they love each others moms, the dads are just complete assholes so.

They tend to have a make out session after having a bad fight. Or any fight at all.

Aren associates Kusuo with strawberries.

Anytime they see a color of purple or pink, they think of each other. Kusuo ignores the Toritsuka purple and always tries to find Arens shade.

Kusuo loves Aren.

Aren loves Kusuo.

They love eachother very much.

Kusuo hates Arens nicknames for him, he gets really fussy about it, Aren thinks it's cute and continues to tease him with various other nicknames.

Kusuo calls Aren handsome a lot. Even more in private.

Their way of saying sorry to each other is touch. They cuddle a lot, kiss a lot, and beat some assholes out of the way.

POWER COUPLE POWER COUPLE POWER COUPLE BRRRTTTT SHWOOOM ZWEEEE

Aren not only associates Kusuo with fruits, he also think of Kusuo as a really cute bunny. Make him mad and that bunny turns into a hawk who'll pick you up from the ground as a worm and eat you up. Omnomnom bitch.

Kusuo pampers Aren a lot, Aren just accepts it but he pampers him back too. Back massages do a lot of good when he uses his strength on his boyfriends back.

Aren holds Kusuos face cus its really soft and plushy. One time he does the "cus you're my whole word" pick up line and Kusuo cringes, laughs, and gets really embarrassed about it. Aren thinks it is the most adorable thing ever.

They love making each other smile.

Kusuo sometimes suffocate when Aren hugs him with his face in Arens chest while they sleep. It's okay tho, cus.. like... this mans tits are huge... and he's a psychic.. yea definitely not because of his tits...

Aren loves back hugs and having Kusuo sit on his lap.

Aren carries Kusuo bridal style.

Hand holding. Hand holding. Hand holding. Hand holding. Hand holding. Hand holding. <- Kaido in his fantasies.

Kusuo thinks Aren is the most handsome man he's ever met in his life.

Ace power couple‼️‼️‼️

Badass lil ga- I mean guys.

Kusuo loves sweet food. Aren loves spicy food. Opposites attract!

They listen to music and would always jam together while driving.

Catboy Dogboy dynamics.

Sun and Moon dynamics too but they're both sun and moons.

Aren thinks his best accomplishment is making Kusuo smile, getting to date Kusuo, going on the straight and narrow. Cus if he didn't then he wouldn't have met this super mega cutie psychic that's hiding in PK.

They're committed to each other and would rather eat the most spiciest food in the world and die than breaking up.

They rarely say 'I love you' to each other and say 'I hate you' more but we both know it's the mofo-ing opposite.

They kiss each others cheeks regularly.

"Homie" Aren calls Kusuo that a lot. As @oatmealcrisp-freak has said, that's his HOOOOOMMEEEE.

Kusuo always gets so many butterflies in his stomach whenever he's with Aren or thinks about him. Which is, all the time.

Beauty and the Beast but they're both Beauty AND Beast.

I love them very much as you can see.

Anger issues but make it angsty AND sexy.

(Them them them them kubosai kubosai kubosai kubosai, omg kubosai, omg purple and pink, omg the word delinquent and psychic, omg them)

*slaps car that is kubosai* This bad boy can fit so much repressed trauma, angst, and bad bitch shit.

Mess with the other and they might just commit accidental homicide without accidental in it.

Kusuos whole being vibrates when they hug laying down. Aren thinks he's purring like a cat.

Kusuo kisses Arens cheek many many times when he's extra extra happy.

They love to boast about each other. Kusuo always finds a way to pitch Arens name in the conversation and Aren happily mentions Kusuo anytime.

(I accidentally clicked the poll button so deal with this poll for a bit)

Kusuo thinks about Aren when he eats coffee jelly. They both make him happy and instantly makes him relax and feel like he's on cloud nine.

Aren instantly smiles when he thinks about Kusuo or sees him or even when someone talks about him. (Except when they be talkin' shit about him. Oh you done fucked up bro)

The gang always notices the way they both light up when it's about the other.

Kubosai.

Omnomnom dehydrated apple chips are some of my favorite safe foods

Actually yk what I'll ramble about my sensory shit

So like I've loved spicy, bold flavours like hot cheetos, curry, buffalo wings, etc, and I'll never not accept them as a safe food.

Sometimes though my sensory needs just- change back and forth, like from "I will vomit if I eat avocado toast today" to "avocado toast is the only thing I will accept as breakfast today" which is I guess where audhd comes in. There are some foods that bypass all my shifting needs, like strawberries, dehydrated apples, hot cheetos, potato chips, and pasta (ESPECIALLY the bowties omg I love the bowtie pasta)

Aside from taste needs, sometimes I really REALLY need a tight hug, not because I'm having a rough day but just because my body really wants to be under pressure for like 4 seconds and then it's good, aND THEN IT SWITCHES TO "If my parents even just barely touch my hair I will die of the sudden itch and sometimes even pain"

Also florescent lights just kill me most of the time which is why I am very happy that most of my teachers don't have every light turned on in their classrooms

I need socks to walk anywhere around my house but I will have straight up insomnia if I wear them to sleep

I haven't ever gone fully non-verbal but when I talk I either have to repeat myself 4 times because of how quiet I'm mumbling, stutter too much to the point where I just restart my sentence after pausing, repeat a word when I didn't mean to (for example during a chapter review of Lord of the flies I said "Piggy and Piggy" instead of "Jack and Piggy" and I got laughed at D:) ORRRRR I NEED TO BE TOLD TO BE QUIETER BECAUSE I'M RAMBLING TOOFASTANDLOUDDD

I have two special interests: my OC lore, and Genshin Impact. My childhood special interest was- also my old OC lore (7 year old me had the amazing and magical story, ever so creatively named "the enchanted forest") that went on for like 4-5 years where I would always want to talk about it and think about it to sleep, aaaaaand My Little Pony (I'VE REWATCHED MLP AND NINJAGO BOTH LIKE AT LEAST 8 TIMES but I wouln't call Ninjago a special interest bc it was more of an on and off obsession-)

I do also have hyperfixations ofc and they usually last up to 2 months, pretty sure that lines up with the statistical average idk

Also sometimes I just need to- punch something with full force. I never get to though and Ik it'd feel great (I did throw a pillow like 5 times in a call with my friend when I was hyper though so like... I've been able to get that excitement out-)

I'm sometimes really slow or just straight up zone out mid-conversation which is frustrating on both ends

I have a wide and advanced vocabulary for my age but [read the prior paragraph on talking], I usually don't get to use it to it's full potential because of that issue .-.

(I just realized this whole rant about my stuff is gonna be perfect for if I can ever actually get diagnosed by someone yayyy)

Mom told me that as a 1-3 year old I never really played with my toys but just lined them up either by size or color (yk those like- tower thingies with the rings of differing sizes and colors? I always ordered them correctly just out of the need for it to look right)

When I was 5 this girl in Kindergarten had a sling on but it was a fancy bedazzled sling so I really wanted to feel the gems but she wouldn't let me and I got sad :(

I've always loved swings and those like- spider web climbing equipment, still do just because I like rocking around and being able to stretch and hang and maneuver around the differently angled bars/ropes on the spider web thing (SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY CALLED)

I also have this like- neck shaking and hand flapping tic/stim, sometimes it's uncontrollable sometimes it's a controllable urge, and when it's a tic it sometimes hurts or is just straight up excessive

Okay my mind is going blank now so buhbye this was super long if anyone read all of that- kudos to you, Idk why you would subject yourself to reading it all ok BYEEE

[urhoneycombwitch]

chewing on the bars of my enclosure (sitting on the bus to work) thinking about rockstar!Eddie x music star!reader. Don't get me wrong, love Eddie, but powerful and petty reader getting her wins after heartbreak? I'm eating that UP omnomnom DELICIOUS!

Like imagine it starts out with her and the band having their albums chase each other on the charts and when Corroded Coffin secures the #1, she sends them a bottle of champagne with a note that says "Congrats on your #1 spot. Don't get too comfortable ;)" and it turns into Eddie and reader connecting. Then all the relationship shit happens and I feel like the breakup would be very Fleetwood Mac "rulers make bad lovers, you better put your kingdom up for sale" and Bridgerton Queen Charlotte esque of Eddie being like "I am a star!" and reader going: "Oh, my mistake. I thought you were just Eddie." because you can't be mighty and powerful in love

then reader's heartbreak album after the breakup absolutely wipes the floor with CC's album + the Grammy win.... ooooo I love the drama and angst

u know what’s wild is usually I’m not an angst girlie (when it comes to fic at least) but I LOVE the drama of this setup too!!! sooooo daisy jones and the six vibes.

might do a proper fic one of these days of rockstar!eddie x singer!reader bookmarking this for later thk u anon 💖

(link to other rockstar!eddie x singer!reader anon)

[doodle-birdo]

eating up Two Weeds in a Bouquet of Flowers in my mouth omnomnom. the fic has me in a chokehold so i am not allowed to stop rereading it over and over again. thank you for blessing us hungry baby birds with the most perfect ragequit fanfic /sincere

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING AND SAYING THIS ANON!!! KISSES YOU WITH MY MOUTH!!!

However, it may take even longer to update now that I have a new hyperfixation take over my mind. But who knows! I may reread it myself again and go “damn, this is actually some gourmet shit.” and get my motivation back. We have the plot more or less figured out but it’s just the want to write again that is preventing the update.

Tell you what, you can get a sneak peek…

shipping is so freaking fun

i love shipping i love dynamics i loooove characters

two characters love eachother very much and wanna live together forever #marriedlifegoals? OMNOMNOM i eat it up

two characters despise eachother very much and hate how much theyre attracted to the other??? GIMME GIMME

two characters have a very complicated and unique dynamic that no one else gets but them??? i swallow them both whole. #vore (/j)

i also rlly like failed ships. failed ships r so cool (idk if thats a term but its the words im using) when they break up?? love it!!

for example: i am a solkat enjoyer and a pepsicola (davejohn) enjoyer!! but do i want either couple to be together?? NO!!! i want them to have a harrowing breakup that destroys them both or NOT EVEN DATE AT ALL!!! mutual (or not) crushing!??! perfect!!!!

dave is in love with john for years, he loves making fun of him for his silly interests (even tho he does care rlly) but it doesnt work out, then he meets karkat!! karkat has had an on and off again thing for years with sollux (caliginous perhaps??) and when he meets dave, dave is everything sollux wasnt for him, hes stable and loves him even IF IT TAKES THEM FOREVER TO GET TOGETHER

ok enough davekat rambling whatever

I LOVE WHEN CHARACTERS JUST DONT WORK OUT

i also love platonic shipping - two characters dont need to be sexually or romantically interested in one another at all for me to ship it, like theres a tension there. its not sexual. its not romantic. but theres a tension and theyre not rlly sure what it is. OR LIKE OR LIKE WHAT AB THE RLLY TRAUMATISED CHARACTERS WHO JUST HAVE SUCH AN UNEXPLAINABLE TRAUMA BOND WITH ONE ANOTHER TO THE POINT WHERE THEYRE THE ONLY ONE THE OTHER GETS i love it. i also love when it makes them even more mentally ill because like holy shit its just so interesting to think about.

sorry ive been thinking ab shipping all day because someone blocked me over a tag i used and im autistic as fuck and this sort of thing falls under my umbrella of special interests

im praying this either a) gets to the right audience or b) just doesnt see the light of day every again bc if the rlllly anti side of shipping discourse sees this im toast fr

To anyone who stays up late and sleeps less than 6 hours: FIX YOUR SLEEP

This is coming from someone who slept less than 6, very often 5 or sometimes even 3 hours during the work week for 7 MONTHS STRAIGHT, forgot how it even feels to be rested in the meantime, and fixed their sleep back to 8-7 hours.

And let me tell you the difference is i m m e n s e

I mean it, I had decent sleep schedule for 3 months now and still can't believe how HUGE the difference is. Literally everthing is better. You feel better, learn better, work better, you have any energy for everything, it's easier to think, especially if you are a creative.

Seriously, sleep in the right hours, is like a magical remedy to the feeling-like-shit-syndrome. No amount of coffee, energy drinks, tea can fix it, only proper sleep.

Staying up late for one more game, one more youtube video one more whatever is !!Not Worth It!! so I beg of you fix your sleep, everything gets better!!

And don't say you'll sleep the last five days off during the weekend. It doesn't work that way!!!

Also don't get discouraged because you don't feel any difference when fixing your sleep. After those 7 months, it took me about 3 weeks of regular proper sleep for often over 8 hours to get back to feeling like a living human being. Regenerating from running on fumes for so long takes time! But once you start feeling better and you keep up the good sleep the difference is really noticeable!!

Tldr: FIX YOUR SLEEP OR I'LL EAT YOUR SOUL OMNOMNOM THANKU

[clover-the-awesomest]

[corbival]

fun facts about the ringmaster: His original concept is so rediculously similar to Lucifer (hazbin hotel) and elements of Alastor that it makes me want to yell about it into the void. I actually drew him with Alastor a few times, one doodle of him being reblogged by vivz in which he's having an aggressive smile-off with alastor. (if you fused lucifer and alastor you would literally have my mans) So I'm going to break down some similarities for myself!

The Circus was originally (secretly) supposed to be Hell. People trapped in The Circus lived out their lives in a chaotically happy, extravegant, never-ending themepark dimension that was very fun on the surface but incredibly deadly and hellish beneath the surface.

The Circus oriignally had nine rings (literal big tops), one for each circle of hell, each represented by a different character (greed, wrath, gluttony, etc)

Being the creator of his dimension (in this case hell) he can make anything and everything appear, move and change at his whim! This includes making helter skelters and rides spawn from nowhere, expanding and changing his empire!

He can change his form into basically whatever he wants, provided it stays within a certain consistency (size, colour scheme, accessories, etc)

He has a bit pointy, redder demonic form.

Has a long-lasting feud with angels (and one particular angel, mine of which is actually called Alistair

He has hundreds of kids he's never really interacted with (incubus, innit), but I write him as having 'pathetic love-me' dad energy.

Full white outfit with occasional red and black trims to represent 'purity' sort of like an angel (heavy hints that he was supposed to be a play on lucifer from the bible), and to make him stand out from the mostly red, gold and pink backdrop. Also makes him stand out in comparison to other ringleader character designs.

Surprisingly down to earth when talking about serious topics, but mostly exuding natural charisma, showmanship, and a constant need to impress and one-up other people.

Big sharp pointy teeth go omnomnom

If we want to go to the alastor stuff; cannibal, always has a shit-eating grin because his whole schtick was supposed to be 'look happy, be happy, be better than everyone with your happiness, they can't know they're in hell or it ruins the fun'

( I understand that this can all be put down to 'vivziepop and I both made our characters when we were seventeen and when you're seventeen you're obsessed with tumblr sexymen, edgy humour, the most basic representations of hell, and mediocre worldbuilding for your future one-day cartoon tv show', and edgy teenagers online in the same spaces tend to like the same tropes and are influenced by the same things, but I THINK IT'S FUNNY )

[delphiniumarchangelmoon]

Hello I’m finally getting caught up with BSD and here are my notes on season 3:

Goddamn these bitches gay, good for them, good for them. (Could apply to like literally any two characters asfhhgjkl)

Chuuya joins the Child of Divorce club but unlike Ranpo this time the divorce is Very Explicitly his fault oof 💀

This emo bitch fyodor THINKS he’s Dazai. He ain’t. He ain’t shit.

Speaking of divorce… the old man yaoi was ELITE this season holy hell

I would Kill and Die for Katai

Gotta love that a huge several episode arc had to have Ranpo and Chuuya get yeeted into a pocket dimension because their presence would have ruined the whole thing. Benched for being Too Good At Their Jobs :(

Also JUNI MY BELOVED HE GOT TO GO ABSOLUTELY APESHIT I LOVE ITTTTT

The fyodor intro episode tripped me out cause I thought that random kid was baby Chuuya for like a solid 10 minutes and I was like “why tf is he here???” But no it’s just this show’s fixation on making Everyone Ginger

The entire Gin focused episode I’m cryyyinngggg bestie ur too pretty to live you’re being HUNTED FOR SPORT

Francis…Louisa…. *holds them gently*

But seriously, THATS HOW YOU DO A FUCKING CHARACTER ARC BABY! GOD I haven’t seen a narrative that sensible and satisfying in a LONG TIME I want to EAT IT OMNOMNOM MUNCH MUNCH

So much of this universe is “we gave like 3 people the most powerful abilities possible and now we spend every day thinking of increasingly obscure and convoluted ways to prevent them from just steamrolling everyone” oh is there a fight going on? Better time a way to physically prevent Dazai from touching anyone. A mystery? Better cut off Ranpo’s ability to communicate. Chuuya…. Idk stick him in a box until the arc is over?

[angelbvnny]

SHALALALALALA WOOLOOLOOLOO HELLOOOOOOOO

BWAAAAAA HAIIHIIIIII

Here’s how you get ahead of a cold: 1. Drink a shit ton of water. When you think you drank enough, drink more. 2. Vitamin C. Get Emergen-C and Airborne. Mix them. Drink orange juice. 3. Eat things that are high in protein. 4. Don’t increase your risk of a cold. Don’t go outside in the cold without proper winter clothing. Wash your hands a lot. Use hand sanitizer. Etc.

I’m pretty good at avoiding illness (i’m always the last to get sick and the quickest to get better, and I haven’t thrown up in almost a decade) in part due to dedicated handwashing, the fact that I almost never leave my room, and being robust I guess? But flu is spread through the air and i live in the same house as everyone else. 

I have mangos. *omnomnom* 

[bishiglomper]

So today was nice. We ran lots of errands. We took the kids to the (very empty) mall to practice their hoverboard. They have a seat attachment but a strap got lost in transport so we jury rigged a strap out of a belt and leash we had in the car 😆 it worked pretty well. The mall walkers got to watch us fooling around. 😋

I made my sister get me an iced coffee because (I didnt take my night time meds, but..) I was very sleepy and having a hard time. 😶

Went to Aldi's where we got lots of goodies. And Wal-Mart. I've been getting veggie trays, and i have to try really hard not to eat the whole thing at once because fucker's expensive, right? Well I figured if my sister could find me a knife and cutting board, i could pay my ADHD tax and chop up a shit load of veggies when I got home.

I got cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, celery and a couple peppers. It filled 2 stuffed to the brim gallon ziplocks plus a quarter gallon of leftover broccoli and cauliflower. 😳 I'm so excited.

I took Reno back to the vet cause his sneezing was getting worse. Doc gave him a booster of the last antibiotic and said to buy him these 5mg dissolvable claritin.

30 pills were 20 bucks and we're cheap. 👀💧

We found children's liquid claritin. It was dye free, i made sure it had no xilitol. I googled this other ingredient and it said it was safe for all animals except cats. So my sister ran back to compare it to what the doc wanted. I was sent on an errand.

She decided on the original meds. But she didnt get the right dosage.. He only needs half a 5mg. I dont think I can quarter a 10mg. 😅 which is what she grabbed. We might go back tomorrow. I hope we will.

I really wanted to pick up yarn. But walmart did not have a good purple. I'm dying to make a needle felted gengar. 😩😖

Hopefully we can go to hobby lobby tomorrow. 👀

We passed by some bacon in the store and I'm like what happened to the last bacon we got? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BACON SANDWICHES I WAS PROMISED?

So then we got turkey and bacon clubs for dinner. Omnomnom 8D

We have leftover bacon so tomorrow we get bacon and EGG sammiches! 🤤

For dessert I made myself a big glass of chocolate milk. SF chocolate syrup. And maybe some SF raspberry syrup. 😍 So nommy

My tummy did have an unfortunate reaction to the coffee eventually.. But it wasn't bad. So it was a pretty good day. 😁

[razzle-zazzle]

OHOHOHOHOHOHO

any new rambles?

I never actually explained the update to parasite sooo

Everything goes the same until the confrontation scene. Since I’ve made Buddy bigger Martin can’t just squash him in one go like before, so when he tries Buddy attacks him.

Chris panics while they’re going feral on each other, but manages to squeeze in between to push them apart (but not before both have some nasty injuries himself). His first thought is to comfort buddy and not, you know, his brother bleeding from a large gash on the side of his head OR his own injuries.

Now blue boy’s not taking that lying down, no sir. He was to punt that little goblin as fast as possible, but can’t risk Chris running away either. He needs to keep him here until the others can help. So they should go inside. That th- Buddy needs first aid, so does Martin. They can work this mess out quietly, like adults.

Chris, too relieved that Martin’s changed his mind to see how abrupt it is, accepts. He spends the next however many minutes stalling for time while texting Aviva with his creature pod behind his back (very poorly).

She ends up coming downstairs not because she knows something’s up, but rather assumed Martin was half asleep eating shredded cheese from the fridge again. Luckily she hears two voices come from downstairs instead of one, and keeps quiet to gage the scene. She walks into the main hub and freezes.

“Are you kidding me?” Chris hisses under his breath before nervously smiling, “Hey, Aviva! Funny seeing you up this early.”

She doesn’t know what to do, but glancing at Martin she gets the idea somethings very wrong and she should not freak out.

“What’s… that?” She gestures to the lumpy, breathing blob on the table.

“Aha, well he- uh” Chris looks to his brother for reassurance, but gets none. “He’s just a friend! I know this looks bad-“

“This is bad.” Martin interrupts, easing the towel off his head wound. Chris shoots him a withering glare.

“But it’s fine! It was an accident! It’s ok!” He’s saying it more for himself, pulling Buddy closer to his chest as it coos.

“Ok…” She was barely processing any of this. “But what happened? Are you ok? You’re jacket’s covered in blood.”

Despite wanting to blow up then and there Martin decides Chris should get to explain himself in his own words.

“I’m fine! It’s not mine it’s- Martin’s. Buddy freaked out and attacked him, and his blood got all over my jacket.”

Goddamnit it Chris.

“Don’t lie! You were soaked before your ‘friend’ tried to kill me.”

He leaned away from the wall to circle towards Aviva. “He came back to the Tortuga covered in blood and I didn’t know how else to convince him to come inside. He said it wasn’t his, so if that thing hurt someone-“

“Stop calling him a thing! His name’s Buddy!”

“Does it make a difference? It crawled out of your mouth like a cockroach!

“Why can’t just let me explain-!”

“Because you’re out of your mind!”

Meanwhile Aviva’s there like a deer in headlights because she just woke up and has no goddamn clue what is going on.

“Chris” She snaps, “what did it do?”

“Nothing! He’s just an animal trying to survive like anyone else.” He hugged the little beast closer as it hissed.

“Can I see him for a second then?”

“… no.”

“I’m just going to scan him so we can see what he is. I won’t hurt him.”

Chris hesitated, almost moving to pass Buddy over- only to take a step back. “I… can’t trust you, he needs to stay with me…”

“You can be right next to me! It’ll only be a moment-“

“I said no.”

To cut a long story short Martin again tries to take Buddy by force. As he and Chris fight Aviva’s chases it around the main hun but it eventually turns on her.

Jimmy and Koki both wake up to an agonized scream. Coming downstairs they see the main hub in shambles, Martin restraining a hysteric Chris (presumably where the scream came from), and Aviva smashing a twitching puddle of green slop with her wrench, all of them covered in blood and various injuries.

It’ll be a lot for the 3 to explain, especially when 2 are actively bleeding and 1 is having an emotional breakdown like a mother who just lost her child.
