Would you consider colonel caleb has mc under arrest/interrogation (like his intro) and doesn’t want to let her go 👀👀👀

Ur mind is so good I’d love to see what u come up with 😏

𝐚/𝐧: it's definitely not canon-complaint, i strayed away from why mc was there in the first place so you can take this as is and consider canon or consider it as is. i wasn't sure what to. not really sure what to tag this but i imagine his love for mc is so overwhelming it teeters on downright obsession. i'm so bad at tagging sigh.

𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭: caleb x fem! reader 𝐜𝐰: forced confinement, emotional manipulation, yandere/obsessive behaviour idk. 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬: open.

the room was dim, sterile, the hum of the overhead lights the only sound save for the frantic thrum of her heart in her ears. she sat tied to the cold metal char, wrists behind her, tethered so tightly together the rope bit at her skin. her pulse jumped when the door creaked open.

boots, polished perfectly, struck the floor as the figure entered. she barely dated to lift her head, but some desperate, trembling part of her needed to. needed to know.

and then he was there, stepping into the weak halo of light.

caleb.

her breath hitched painfully in her chest.

she was more than certain it was him, even with his hat partially obscuring his face. he looked the same, and yet nothing like the boy she remembered. the brow hair, the sharp purple eyes, the broad shoulders that had once carried her across flooded fields without complaint were all still there. the faint freckles that dusted over his cheeks, the slight cut above his eyebrow that was barely visible under you knew where to look… 

but now, there was a stiffness in his frame, a veiled violence barely restrained by the dark military uniform stretched across his body. his jaw was set hard, his gaze carved from stone. and when he smiled, it wasn’t kind— it was cold.

alive. caleb was alive. after all this time thinking he’d died… she couldn’t even summon the words. only a soft, broken sound escaped her lips. 

alive in a way that made her chest tighten painfully, made her stomach knot into something ugly and sick. he moved like a shadow, his tall figure cutting a sharp silhouette. the silver insignia on his chest gleamed coldly, catching the light as he stepped forward. 

the way her name fell past his lips sounded just like the last time he’d said it, warm and intense, but it was almost like it hurt him to say her name. his boots thudded with slow steps across the floor, drawing closer. “you look… just like i remember.” 

her voice cracked as she rasped, “you’re supposed to be dead.”

the words felt thin. pointless. because caleb— this caleb— didn’t flinch. didn’t falter. he only smiled, a slow, almost pitying thing, as he stood in front of her. 

“did you want that?” he questioned, his head tilting as he studied her— the way she trembled, the way she refused to properly meet his eyes. slowly, he lifted his hand, tapping a finger against the insignia pinned to his dark uniform jacket. 

“i wonder…” he began slowly. “is it the uniform? or perhaps you still can’t reconcile the man i’ve become with the boy you used to know?”

she lashed out before she could think, trying to shove him away with her foot, trying to get even a fraction of distance between them. panic rose sharp and hot in her throat. 

in a flash, an invisible force— his evol— slammed down against her leg, pinning it ruthlessly to the chair. she whimpered, trying to wrench it free, but it was like trying to move a mountain as she squirmed helplessly.

“don’t,” caleb said softly, his voice a low warning. his gloved hand slid up the side of her calf, lingering there in a way that made her entire body seize. 

“if you try that again, i’ll tie your ankles together too. i don’t want to do that.”

the threat wasn’t loud, wasn’t even cruelly spoken. it was worse, soft.

her gaze darted around the room, upwards, to the corner— to the camera she knew as supposed to be recording. but in its place was a twisted, distorted piece of metal— lens crushed inward, metal housing twisted like paper. wrecked. 

her breathing came faster now, shallow and panicked. her wrists strained uselessly against the binds behind her back. caleb simply watched her squirm, head tilting slightly, his expression almost… fascinated. as if she was some small, helpless thing he was studying. 

one hand reached out, and without any resistance, he pushed a strand of hair away from her damp forehead, his touch almost… reverent. 

he looked like caleb.

he sounded like caleb.

but every time he touched her, every time she flinched and he didn’t flinch back— she knew. this wasn’t him.

tears welled hot in her eyes, blurring the cruel, handsome face that hovered too close. her voice cracked under the weight of the words she choked out. “you killed him.”

caleb went very still.

she squeezed her eyes shut, fresh tears spilling down her cheeks, wracking her trembling chest.

“you killed my caleb,” she whispered, voice breaking on a sob. “you— you took him away..”

for a moment, the only sound in the room was the high, desperate whine of her breathing. 

caleb exhaled slowly through his nose, the sound dark and heavy. his gloved hands tightened around the arms of the chair, the metal frame groaning in protest under the pressure of his evol.

“you think…” he said quietly, dangerously, “that i’m not him?”

she shook her head miserably, her legs trembling against the force that held them pinned together and prevented her from kicking them out at him.

“you’re not,” she rasped. “you’re not him. caleb would never— “

“never what?” he cut her off sharply, his voice like a whip crack in the silence. his eyes gleamed with something volatile, something wounded. “never fight to keep you safe? never protect you from people who would use you, abandon you, hurt you?”

his evol flexed again, the suffocating pressure locking her down harder, as if the very air had turned to iron around her.

“you don’t understand,” he snarled, leaning in until his forehead pressed against hers, trapping her, caging her like a little bird. “i died for you. i burned away everything that was weak, everything that would’ve let you slip through my fingers again. and you still think he’s dead?”

he pulled back just far enough to look at her, wild and furious and so desperately, heartbreakingly hers.

“i’m still here,” he insisted, his hand moving to press against her heart. “or did you just forget me, is that it?”

she shook her head helplessly, hating the sob that tore itself from her throat. “no, no, you’re not. caleb would have— he would’ve— “

that made him smile— a horrible, broken smile full of something twisted and hurt at her attempts to form a coherent sentence. 

“maybe that’s why he had to die,” caleb murmured, almost to himself. “because he was stupid enough to think you could survive without him.” 

his gloved hand slid down the side of her face, thumb wiping away a tear she couldn’t stop, his touch disturbingly tender against the brutal strength of his evol holding her legs down.

“but me,” he breathed, voice sinking into a hoarse, desperate whisper. “me— i’ll never let you go.”

she felt the bonds tighten once more, biting into her skin like invisible chains. 

the ruined camera in the corner still hung limp from its crushed mount. no one was coming. no one was watching.

it was just the both of them. alone.

his thumb stroked absently along the curve of her jaw, as if he could soothe the terror out of her by touch alone. as if he could convince her body before he convinced her mind.

“i know,” he murmured, his voice low, hoars, raw with something deeper than anger. “I know it’s hard to see me like this. to accept things are a little different now.”

“but you will,” he whispered, his forehead pressing against hers again, his words ghosted against her lips, too close, too consuming. “you will.”

she whimpered weakly, trying to pull back, but he simply forced her to face him. his gloved fingers dug into her jaw.

“don’t,” he breathed against her mouth, his hand slipping down to her throat, not squeezing, just holding. his fingers splayed over the frantic pounding of her pulse. “don’t pull away from me. not again.”

“you’re hurting me,” she whispered, broken and small, her voice shaking as much as her body.

at that, caleb finally flinched— a sharp twist of pain flashing across his face— but he didn’t loosen his grip. if anything, he shifted closer, caging her tighter, as if terrified she might slip through his fingers if he even blinked.

“i’ll never hurt you,” he said, the words almost a prayer. “not in any way that matters.”

“you already have,” she sobbed, shuddering. “you already did the moment you— you killed him.” she couldn’t even bare to say his name anymore.

caleb’s hand around her throat trembled, barely, before he leaned in, so close that his next words were breathing directly into her mouth. 

“then kill me too,” he murmured, reckless and raw. “hate me. break me. i don’t care. just stay, stay where i can keep you safe.”

it wasn’t like she had a choice.

[rocketbirdie]

dont apologize for going insane im putting my rambles out there to also find insane people 🤝🤝🤝 but yeah i haven't played rebirth yet but seeing people complain on the basis of "it's not og" is ALWAYS crazy to me because it's SUPER clear, in both an in-universe and out-of-universe sense that it's like. Explicitly not OG. It's so explicitly about breaking the chains of og and that's super super interesting. remakeverse is like it's own beast and its very cool and it's also making me lose my mind because the "what if"'s are so beautiful but also [breaking down about the original timeline] THERE WAS SO MUCH LOVE THERE TOO AND IT DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!! HEAD IN HANDS. anyway thats to say i agree with all of your thoughts thank u for the insane food

EXACTLYYYYY AAUUUGHHHH the mind-screw of it all..... the implications........

[bibleofficial]

wallpaper is insane like u find a product w an ugly print ? wallpaper it. just multiple uncoordinated things put together ? wallpaper it. ugly door ? wallpaper it. ugly wall ? landlord won’t let me wallpaper it

something that makes me eat drywall about my specific ideas about tai is that her and lottie do parallel each other a little bit. tai regularly saw the man with no eyes and her parents trying to get her help for that, that it was marked off as stress and something to not be brought up. n then how this shapes tai's experience with the wilderness, with her sleepwalking, and of course, with lottie.

i find the difference between mitch answering media questions and willy answering media questions SO fascinating to be honest...

[phagodyke]

ykw actually I am angry + disappointed w them. I've been pushing how I feel aside and trying to make it my own fault so it's all contained but I think theyve just been mean. and they really should know me better ik I try to pretend I don't expect more from them so I feel less hurt when they do things that upset me but we've been friends for years by this point. like come on.

[lesbianlenas]

went to see the aces yesterday which first of all they were amazing it was my first time going to a concert w lesbian music and it was very special to me (also the lead singer was so sexy btw js 😩) but ANYWAY. i asked my friend if she wanted to go w me & she had never listened to them before but she said she would and i sent her some of their music to listen to etc etc. so like we went to the concert it was great and afterwards she told me she thought it was boring and she didn’t like the music. which was kind of crazy to me bc it’s like indie pop/rock music and like as someone who does not enjoy the majority of indie music bc i find it boring their music is not boring 😭 so first of all i find that offensive. second of all she was like well if you find a concert from x artists then i would enjoy that and she listed like three artists to me one of which was taylor swift and i was like. yeah where am i gonna get taylor swift tickets lmfao. but the other artist she listed (i don’t remember the third one she said lol) i just looked up his music and i’m legit like 😭😭😭 first of all this man looks like he just finished hibernating for the winter and crawled out of the cave into the sun for the first time in months. second of all. that’s also what his music sounded like. my point being that going to this man’s concert while he strums a single guitar in a flannel shirt and jeans would be a million times more boring than watching women having fun on stage and singing abt lesbianism idk call me crazy………it’s like i would find it more understandable if it was at LEAST interesting music………

[ashenberry]

honest to god looking at people talk about the ganondorf fight im surprised i did so well as someone who could not Flurry Rush or Perfect Parry for shit
