I was inspired by the post with a gif of Thomas and Newt having identical wounds…

I noticed that Gally’s wound is on the same side, so I also added Minho with his scar from the lightning strike…

WICKED knew exactly what they were doing…

Bubbles pot and fires fume, In the forest quietly looms; Hide your kids and lock your home: Something Wicked this way comes.

Darkness parts and moonlight glints, As the echo sings their hymn. Adder's fork and blind worm's sting, Do not play, you will not win.

Toil and trouble, eye of newt, Sweat of yours and chimney soot, Speak your truth, get on one knee, You already were like me.

Priests not here and God is gone. Do not fear, they had you wrong. There's no use to cross or pray:

Something Wicked came your way.

Wrote this ages ago and really wanted to do some illustrations to go with it before I post, but never got around to it. Maybe some day, I could really use doing some personal art these days

Recovery, Post death-cure, safe haven

(I’m sorry in advance)

Tw: depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts/attempts, self harm, panic attacks etc

Thomas

- This man has some extreme survivors guilt from everything.

- He gets flashbacks, especially in dreams, of him working with WICKED, helping them build the maze and having to watch his friends through the beetle blades.

- He feels responsible for everything his friends went through in the glade and for not trying harder to help them (even though the others have continuously told him that they don’t blame him and it wasn’t his fault).

- Even through the scorch, he feels guilty for not doing more to help because if he had only acted faster, they might not be there at all.

- He sometimes has panic attacks because of this and on the worst days he wishes he could have died instead of his friends because he feels like their deaths were his fault.

- Occasionally he turns to self harm, believing that he deserved to feel the pain he put his friends to.

- Newt found him once with the knife in his hand and immediately stopped him, cleaning the cuts and making Thomas promise never to do it again because nothing was his fault and he doesn’t deserve to feel pain.

- Newt then makes it a regular occurrence to draw little butterflies on Thomas’s wrist and arms (iykyk)

- Newt got really worried the first time Thomas had a panic attack in front of him because he didn’t really know what to do to help but he slowly figured out little ways to calm him down.

- Taking him to a quiet, familiar place, helping him breathe, making him tea and cuddling up with a blanket and a movie on in the background

Newt

- I think I already covered this in another post but being sick is a huge trigger for Newt. He gets super edgy and Thomas can tell. He continuously checks his arms just in case the veins are black

- I’m convinced he’s got Emetophobia (fear of throwing up) because it triggers memories of when he had the flare and he felt nauseous all the time.

- His immune system is weaker than everyone else’s so he gets sick a lot more often than the others and even a simple cold would have him shivering in bed all day with tea and five blankets

- Newt also doesn’t like to acknowledge the fact that he’s sick because he doesn’t want people fussing over him and asking him if he’s okay so he will just say ‘I’m fine’ as he’s actively throwing up.

- He usually distances himself whenever he’s ill because he’s scared that he’s not cured and is going to snap and hurt someone but Thomas isn’t having it.

- Thomas will wrap him up in a blanket and hug him until Newt stops struggling to get away and melts into a little shivery puddle in Thomas’s arms

- Once he’s finally accepted that he is ill, Newt becomes very very clingy towards Thomas and stays in bed all day with tea and a hot water bottle

- I also think Newt and Brenda would be really good friends in the safe haven because they’ve both had the flare before (obviously Brenda was cured relatively quickly but still) so they can relate to each other and Newt sometimes feels like Brenda’s the only one who really knows what he went through, so he talks to her about it when he doesn’t want to go vent to Thomas or Minho

- He has a lot of nightmares from when he was a crank, often dreaming that he had died or else had cracked and hurt someone and more than once has woken up screaming with tears in his eyes and blood in his mouth because he bit his tongue so hard.

- His broken leg gets better over time but it never fully heals. Jorge told him that he should really be using a cane or a crutch but Newt done right refuses either because he hates people making a fuss over it and he will still work even if the pain is so bad he literally has to hop around (Thomas isn’t having this either and drags Newt to bed and massages his leg for him)

- Newt still had suicidal thoughts. They aren’t as strong as they were in the glade and he doesn’t seriously consider trying anything but it’s always in the back of him mind. Thomas is the one who gets him his little safety pin necklace because he knows it’s something Newt struggles with ( and yes Newt did cry when Thomas gave it to him. Tell me I’m wrong)

I will do Minho, Gally, and everyone else but I’m splitting it up into different posts just so y’all aren’t waiting forever <33

[lukolabrainrot]

I have a few thoughts on the Spain trip and the timing of Luke’s post the day after A posted the story.

I want to focus on the slide with the two people on the beach. I do not believe that this picture is of two random people on the beach. He could have easily panned the camera to the left or right or even cropped these people out of the picture. I think he was deliberate in leaving those people in the picture because he is laying crumbs for the fans. I think the picture is of him and NC. If you look at her picture with a fan after she returned from Malta, her face is tanned looking like she was on a sunny vacation. I know Malta is sunny but she was there for work and I heard most of that work was in a studio. She did go on a boat tour with JD (rumored) but they were in a covered area of the boat. Is there a possibility that she joined L in Spain for a few days after she completed filming MFT? I also believe the trip was recent and I do not put too much thought into his hair length because they may be changing the style for S4 and it does not need to be as long.

The other theory I have is regarding A’s post on her insta story the day before to make it look she was with him. I think there was some manipulation on the picture to make it look she was there hence the flashing to distract. She may have known about this promotional deal with the hotel from earlier but she was not there. What if L with the aid of N set a trap for her and she fell for it by telling her when he was going to post? He let her have her moment to try to deceive the fandom and then he came in with his post debunking that she was there. Most of his postings seem NC or Bton coded and was set up to make it appear he was there by himself. I believe he was there by himself at some parts but a certain blonde may have joined him for a part of the stay. She guided him on what pictures he should take including that white t-shirt which to me is reminder of the Shameless t-shirt she was wearing.

In closing I think L is learning how to play this SM game from L and I believe they are strategizing on getting him through this rough patch. We probably will not see a confirmation of their relationship until later this year. We possibly could get a hard launch at the Wicked premiere in November which puts some distance between them the chaotic summer.

One more thing regarding L’s like on A’s post and him still following her. I do not believe they are still together and him liking her pictures is probably some sort of deal they have which allows him to gradually distance from her without additional chaos. She has demonstrated that she is as cunning as a fox and is messy. I have noticed a pattern on likes from members of his family on the last 3 post to her grid. The last upload his mother liked the photos but then it was unliked after a few days. His aunt and his friend Carla have also liked the bobble head pose post but then they unliked it. I believe L probably brought them up to speed. She is also vigorously looking for modeling and dance gigs based on who she follows and unfollows.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Hi Anon, I'm intrigued by your theories. I'll respond with a bullet point to each paragraph:

I don't think the couple is of him and N personally. The woman seems wayyyy too tall to be N 😅 Lukey Newts is great at a lot of things, SM and pics are not one of them LOL I think it's just a random couple tbh. N did have a little bit of a sunburn in Malta, so idk if the fan pics really prove she was in Spain with him.

HOWEVER, I flip flop between if either A or N were actually on this trip with him, but I will say this. 1) L was quick to clear up the rumors that were circulating about his post in his stories (which is new behavior for him). He said look, N and I are good. Also, look at all this stuff for one person. NO, A WAS NOT WITH ME. I think whatever SM agreement he and A have includes him letting her know when he is going to post something on his grid or stories. So I think he knew she was going to do her normal SM games, and he wanted to be the one to have the last word. 2) The pics of him in his post-- HE IS LOOKING GOOD. So I do think someone took some of those photos of him (and we know who takes great photos of him 😉). This (and the fact that he just looked glowy and happy) is the only thing that makes me think maybeeeee N did join him for a little bit on the trip. But I do agree that it seems like his post and stories had a lot of nods to N and/or Bridgerton Season 3, and I think he was getting pointers from N regardless if she was there or not. Hmmm, I wonder why that might be? 🤔😂

"I think L is learning how to play this SM game from N and I believe they are strategizing on getting him through this rough patch." I 100% agree with this! I think IF L/N are currently together, we are going to get a confirmation before the Wicked premiere. Mainly because of the fact that the paps are so far up their butts, and the wilding that is happening in some parts of the fandom. I think they would rather control the narrative and squash the wild speculation atp. HOWEVER, who knows?? I really don't have a great prediction on WHEN they will go public. I personally think it will be sooner than later, but I think it's kind of just a wait and see game atp.

I agree with everything in the last paragraph. No notes!

[okerum]

maze runner fandom thoughts on another novella from minho's perspective exploring how the gladers establish themselves on the island post-WICKED while also exploring their complex trauma and how they cope with their grief? because i would give ANYTHING to the lord our savior James Dashner for just one more bit of content for our beloved main characters (+ more content of sonya and harriet ideally)

i think it would also be very insightful and enjoyable to have a novella from minho's pov-- like, newt's novella confirmed and added on to a lot of the minute details of his characterization that i noticed!! i def think minho deserves the same attention !! + i'd love to see how other people view thomas more!!

[thesunshinenotebook]

Ok, so! Besides the usual, “Of course Newt made it to the safe haven, what are you talking about?? What's page 250???” jokes, I've also seen a couple of posts recently by people who were annoyed that we literally refuse to accept this man's death. And so I throw my opinion into the void. Yes, I love fix-it fics and AUs where Newt lives. In fact, they're all canon to me. But! From an analytical standpoint, I bring this controversial (??) opinion:

Newt had to catch the Flare. He had to die.

In this slightly long and largely unedited essay, I will explain why…

Newt not being immune, besides adding emotional turmoil and intense pain to the story, also added humanity to the Flare, the disease that robs people of their humanity. The Cranks could be perceived as soulless monsters, obstacles, plot development and nothing more. We know that they theoretically used to be humans, and we feel pity for them on some level, but it’s not the focus of our attention. Newt changes that, because Newt is a Crank, and Newt is a human, and we love Newt. I’m aware that other characters were infected before Newt was (in the book all of the Gladers thought that they were infected and in the movie Winston and Brenda actually were), but I feel like Newt being such an important character and getting the virus really brought this point home.

The entire series revolves around the choice between two evils: let the world fall to disease, or torture children for a theoretical cure. Newt experienced both sides of the issues (fell to the disease AND was also tortured for research before that, the poor guy). He understood the need for a cure better than anyone, but he also knew exactly what WICKED would do to get it. And guess what? Torturing children is never ethical!

Newt couldn't live, because then it would just be Thomas and friends vs. the inferior losers with the Flare. Newt didn’t deserve to die, but his friends didn’t exactly deserve for him to live (though they didn’t deserve to lose him, either). The world is unfair, and they couldn’t win everything. This, again, shows the complexity of the issue, challenging Thomas's decision to leave the city and give up on the idea of a cure.

Another issue brought up by Newt's catching the Flare and his subsequent death is this continuous motif of memory and identity, which obviously played a huge role in the rest of the series as well (everyone losing their memories before the maze, writing their names on the wall, remembering all of their friends that died). Newt has always been selfless and caring, and this continues even as he begins to lose his sanity and himself. Newt wants to hang on to who he is rather than turning into a monster, and, ultimately, he chooses death over losing himself. He lives on in memory, though, as well as through his journal. There are so many other complexities to Newt's story; questions of identity, depression, selflessness, bottled emotions, and love. All of this immensely complicates his death, and the fact that it was technically suicide. It's so important to have characters like Newt in fiction, if only to explore the depths of these issues. So many of us can see so much of ourselves in Newt. His story might not give us all the answers, but it does give us a reason to hope.

The truth is that life is unfair. Newt's situation emphasizes how true this is in the story, humanizing the Flare virus and drawing a direct comparison between wicked's goal and the goal of the kids who are running from them. Our world today is similarly unfair, though obviously in different ways. There are challenges and setbacks and hurt, just like in the story, but Newt proves that these troubles aren't all that there is. We can't escape every problem, but we can make the most of what we do have. We can love and joke and laugh with others, even if the world is falling apart. The ending might be sad, but the pages in the middle can still make us smile, and maybe help us inspire the next person to do the same.

"Fragments of Time"

Maze Runner Time travel AU, Newt x Thomas

Masterlist

Based on this post

Summary: Newt finds himself transported to the ruins of the Last City in the future, where he reunites with Thomas and the others. But someone follows him to this other dimension, someone who has sworn to put an end to the Safe Haven.

Warnings: Themes of grief and loss, references to the Flare and infection, mild violence, fluff (let me know if there's anything else)

Word Count: 2.3k words

A/N: this is gonna have to have a part two- This also might not be 100% accurate to the post or what they had in mind but I tried my best. Some of this might be inaccurate in the series in general! I tried combining the books and movies somewhat.

One moment, he was in the Last City, worrying about the Flare overtaking him; the next, he stood amidst the ruins of the same city where he had been infected.

Newt looked around, dazed. He was almost sure this was the Last City, but how could this just happen?

Newt stumbled through the debris, trying to take it all in. The skyline of the Last City was unrecognizable, with shattered buildings dotting the landscape like ghosts. He tightened his grip on a makeshift weapon, a rusted pipe he found, and tried to steady his breathing.

He could still feel the Flare in him. It was like a physical thing. Worms swimming through his veins and into his organs slowly but oh so surely, but he could fight it. He knew he could.

As he moved cautiously, the soft scuffle of his footfalls echoed off the crumbling concrete. Suddenly, he heard a noise—something that sounded like a low growl, followed by a shuffle.

Crank.

He quickly ducked behind a fallen wall, sweat trickling down his brow.

But before he could gather his thoughts, he bumped into a neon sign buzzing faintly on the ground with his bad leg.

"Shuck," he swore quietly. Panic surged through him as he struggled to regain his footing, but it was too late.

The sound of footsteps grew closer, and Newt's heart pounded in his ears. He held his breath, hoping that whoever—or whatever—it was wouldn't find him. He couldn't fight a Crank with a shucking pipe.

Just as he thought he might escape, a figure rounded the corner. It was a tall silhouette, moving cautiously, scanning the surroundings. He held the pipe tightly. He could try.

"Who's there?" a very familiar voice shouted, echoing in the desolate space.

Tommy?

"Come out or I'll shoot!" Thomas yelled.

"Don't shoot!" Newt yelled back, dropping his weapon and stepping out into Thomas's line of sight.

The first thing he saw was the launcher pointed at his face. "Don't move!"

"It's me! It's Newt!"

"Newt?" 

"Yeah, it's me," Newt replied, stepping cautiously into view, hands raised to in surrender. "I don't know how I got here, but—"

Thomas lowered his weapon. His hair was tousled, and there was a smudge of dirt across his cheek, but the familiar intensity in his gaze remained unchanged. He wore a makeshift vest, frayed at the edges, and his shirt was slightly torn.

Oh shucking hell, that was not something Newt should be focusing on right now—

"Wait, hold on!" Thomas interrupted, shaking his head as if trying to dispel the illusion. "You were... you were gone."

"One moment I'm in the WICKED headquarters, and then—" He gestured to the ruins around them. "I'm here. I don't understand it either!"

Thomas's grip on the weapon faltered, confusion evident on his face. "This can't be real. How can you just show up like this? It's impossible!"

Newt took a hesitant step forward. "I'm here, Tommy."

Their eyes locked, and the world around them faded. "How...? I thought I'd never see you again."

"What do you mean?" Newt asked. "What happened?"

Thomas swallowed hard. "You—you died."

The blonde boy frowned. "What?"

"The Flare—I—I had to—" He swallowed again.

"Thomas, what do you mean?" Newt's voice wavered. "I'm here. I can't be dead if I'm standing right in front of you."

Thomas's expression shifted. "You were gone, Newt. I watched you... You were infected, and then..." Thomas's eyes widened.

"We need to get back to Safe Haven."

"Safe Haven?" Newt asked, still trying to process everything.

"It's not far from here," Thomas said firmly.

"Right," Newt said, exhaling. "Lead the way."

He wasn't sure what was going on but he trusted Thomas. He always would.

------------

The first place Thomas led Newt was a Med tent. There were two of them, one on the outskirts of Safe Haven and one in the middle of it, just in case.

Brenda was there, turning to greet Thomas when her eyes landed on Newt. "What—"

"The cure! Now!"

Brenda stuttered before obeying quickly, getting a syringe filled with a blue liquid.

"Cure?" Newt looked between them, eyes wide, "You found a cure for the Flare?"

Seeing Newt again felt impossible. It was impossible. He was supposed to be dead. Thomas killed him. Newt begged him to.

But he was standing right in front of him. And he could finally finally save him.

Brenda basically stabbed Newt with the needle, and he flinched.

Brenda stared at him. "How?"

Thomas also stared. "Great question."

Newt cleared his throat. "I agree with that."

"I mean WICKED has to do something with—"

"WICKED is gone," Thomas said plainly.

Newt frowned. "It is? We did it? Can someone tell me what's going on!?"

"From the past...?" Brenda muttered in awe. "Is that even possible?"

"Might as well be," Thomas said, "Would it really be that surprising?"

Brenda shook his head. "No. I guess not."

Thomas didn't want to know how Newt got here. Not if there was even the smallest possibility it would take Newt away from him again.

------------

Minho was the first one who saw Newt but the last one to approach him. Newt felt his eyes on him as everyone else rushed toward him, their voices overlapping in a flurry of excitement and disbelief.

Minho remained at a distance, his arms crossed tightly, a mixture of hope and caution on his face.

Thomas walked up to him and started talking to him quietly. Not once did Minho look away from Newt.

"Is it really you?" Minho finally called out, breaking his silence but still staying put.

"It's me," Newt replied, taking a cautious step forward.

A flicker of relief crossed Minho's face, but his eyes still searched Newt's, looking for any signs of the Flare or a trick. "You sure? You look... different."

"I'm okay. I promise."

Minho unfolded his arms slowly, still hesitant. "You don't look okay, shank. You look like you've seen hell."

"Maybe I have," Newt said, "But I'm here. That counts for something, right?"

Minho's resolve broke, and he pulled Newt into a suffocating hug. "Don't you dare leave us again," he murmured into Newt's shoulder.

Newt hugged him back just as hard. "I won't. Not if I have anything to say about it."

------------

Janson blinked as he regained consciousness. Disoriented, he realized he was sprawled on the cold concrete. The Last City stretched around him, a shadow of its old self, with crumbling buildings and debris everywhere.

He pushed himself to his feet, brushing dust off his clothes. Confusion settled in—how had he ended up here?

"What the fuck?" he muttered. He needed to find out what happened and where everyone was.

As he stepped forward, he heard a faint shuffle in the distance. Janson froze, instincts kicking in. He quickly scanned the area, searching for any sign of life—or danger.

A Crank stumbled into view, its eyes wild and unsteady. Janson's stomach dropped. He had faced enough of these creatures to know how dangerous they could be.

He held his breath, waiting for the right moment. The Crank shuffled closer, muttering incoherently. Janson picked up a sharp, rusted piece of metal, ready to defend himself.

As the Crank turned its back, Janson saw his chance. He dashed out from his hiding place and swung the metal shard with all his strength. It connected, and the Crank collapsed, but the sound echoed in the desolation, alerting others.

"Shit!" he hissed, scanning for more Cranks. He needed to move quickly.

He sprinted through the wreckage, searching for shelter, a place to regroup and plan.

Ahead, a flicker of light caught his eye—a neon sign half-buried in debris. Janson picked up his pace, hoping it was some form of refuge. As he approached, he realized it was an old convenience store, its entrance partially blocked but he would still be able to get close.

He squeezed through the gap, the faint light illuminating the interior. Inside, Janson quickly searched for anything useful. He needed to find a way to defend himself if more Cranks came.

He rummaged through the wreckage, finding a sturdy crowbar. It felt solid in his hands. Just as he was about to exit, he heard a noise—a low growl echoing from outside.

The Cranks were close.

------------

Newt sat around the fire with his friends now. They told him everything—their struggles, their victories, and how they created Safe Haven. The warmth of the flames provided a comforting glow as they reminisced.

After the topic turned much more light-hearted, Thomas animatedly recounted a particularly close encounter with a Crank, gesturing wildly. "And I swear, I thought we were done for! But Minho—"

"Yeah, yeah," Minho waved him off. "I'm just trying not to get us all killed."

Across the fire, Brenda chimed in. "You all are lucky to survive that. I'd take a different route altogether."

"Yeah, but your routes usually involve explosions," Thomas teased, earning a playful glare from her.

"Explosions are effective," she shot back.

Frypan, who prepared food, looked up with a smirk. "Just don't ask her to cook anything."

"Hey!" Brenda protested. "I can cook!"

"Just not without a few fireworks," Frypan said, shaking his head.

Newt leaned back. "You all really did it, didn't you? Build something good."

"Yeah, we did," Thomas replied, a proud smile on his face. "It's not perfect, but it's ours."

"And it's pretty shucking cool," Minho added.

"It is," Newt admitted.

Conversation drifted from here and there as Newt tried his best to focus on his friends, yet his thoughts went to Thomas. Unsurprisingly.

The way Thomas recounted adventures made Newt's heart flutter. It was as if the firelight cast a halo around him, illuminating his face. Newt found himself captivated, his gaze lingering on Thomas's expressive hands as they gestured.

Thomas's laughter resonated with him long after it faded, how the intensity of their struggles drew them closer together. And now, with the weight of everything they faced, Newt felt an overwhelming urge to bridge the gap between them, to speak what had been left unspoken.

"Hey, Newt!" Brenda called, pulling him from his reverie. "You in there?"

"Yeah, sorry," he replied, forcing a smile. "Just...glad to be here."

But he wanted to say more. He wanted to reach across the fire and take Tommy's hand, to share the truth of what he felt, but the words felt stuck in his throat.

Newt stood up, unable to shake the restless energy in his chest. He needed a moment to breathe, to think. He muttered some excuse and slipped away, the sounds of his friends fading behind him as he navigated Safe Haven.

The garden was quiet. Newt wandered among the rows, trying to sort through his feelings. The chaos of everything—the Flare, the memories, and now this inexplicable time shift—was too much to process.

He leaned against a weathered fence, closing his eyes, letting the cool night air wash over him. But just as he began to feel a sense of calm, he heard footsteps approaching.

"Newt?" Thomas's voice cut through the quiet, and Newt turned to see him standing just a few feet away, concern etched across his features.

"I just need some air," Newt said, trying to sound casual.

"Mind if I join you?" Thomas asked, taking a step closer.

"Not at all," Newt replied, giving him a small smile.

They stood in silence for a moment. Finally, Thomas broke it, his voice soft. "I've missed you, you know."

"Did you?" he smiled at the thought, then felt guilty at it. Thomas and his friends had grieved him.

"Yeah..."Thomas took a deep breath, his expression shifting to something more serious. "I thought I'd lost you for good. When you... when I had to..." He paused, "I didn't realize how much I loved you until it was too late."

Newt's breath caught in his throat. "You love me?"

"Of course I do," Thomas said, "But I'm scared. I don't want to admit it, not when we're fighting for survival, and not when I thought you were gone forever."

Newt blinked, trying to process this revelation. "I thought... I thought I was the only one."

He looked dumbfounded. "What?"

Newt laughed quietly. "Since you were a Greenbean, Tommy."

"Oh."

"Yes, oh."

Thomas's eyes widened in surprise, and a soft laugh escaped his lips. "Seriously? I had no idea!"

"Yeah, well, I'm not exactly vocal about it," Newt admitted. "I thought you'd never feel the same."

"I spent so much time worried about what would happen if I said anything," Thomas confessed, his gaze steady on Newt's. "But it sounds like we were both scared."

They stood in silence for a moment, taking in the quiet of the garden.

"We should get back, shouldn't we?" Thomas said, breaking the silence. Again.

"We probably should," Newt confirmed.

Despite this, they didn't move. Both of them waited. For something.

"Shuck it," Thomas muttered.

In an instant, the distance between them disappeared. Thomas leaned in, their lips brushing softly at first as if testing the waters. Newt's heart soared, and he deepened the kiss, wrapping his arms around Thomas's waist.

------------

Janson had to keep moving.

He shifted and listened for any sounds of danger. The low growls of Cranks echoed in the distance. He wasn’t safe yet.

“Focus,” he muttered to himself. He needed a plan. His mind raced back to the last moments he could remember—fighting the goddamn children. The last he remembered, he had been with Theresa. How did he end up here?

The growling grew louder. His instincts kicked in, and he crouched behind fallen debris. He held his breath as a Crank stumbled into view, eyes wild and unfocused. It was close—too close.

He gripped the crowbar tighter, waiting for the right moment. Then swung hard, connecting with a sickening thud. The Crank collapsed, but more sounds of them echoed.

He scrambled to his feet, pushing forward, a single thought guiding him: survive. He’d find a way to escape this hellhole, and then he’d find them.

They were out there somewhere, and he would search this city and every inch of the scorched earth until he found them.

[crowwithapapercrown]

Don't get me wrong I love incorrect quotes/Twitter posts for the maze runner but ever time I see newt dumbed down to "wish I was dead but I have a something more important haha" jokes a losses my mind a little more. Newts character is so much more than when he tried to kill himself in the maze, and his death was way more than a fulfillment of a wish to be dead.

Newt would not have been one of the gladers to escape the maze if that's all he was. If newt didn't want to be there he wouldn't have been newt is stubborn (not as much as thomas but we are shown this fact many times in the books and movies) newt decided he wanted to live before he even met thomas because if he hadn't he wouldn't have been there. He fought like hell to live and to see a world outside of the maze and wicked. To see everything he did and how much he had to fight be dumb down to "sad boy wants to die" is really a huge misread of his whole character.

tmr angst headcanons!!

0k yall, the promised angst head canons have arrived and if you wish to check my sweet ones they are here

Gally:

oh gally.. poor gally and his absolute guilt and fear of losing himself again and killing another..

after he killed chuck for MONTHS he was terrified he would somehow lose himself again and kill someone else, he literally refused to even have physical contact unless absolutely necessary for so long, once he slowly got over his fear he never really got back to normal, hugs are EXTREMELY rare from him, even rarer then before.

gally refused to let himself grieve over chuck and the deaths of the Gladers that stayed behind until he literally couldn't because he believed for a long time he believed he didn't have the right to.

He refused to talk about them too, like if someone just asked about the maze or about what happened he would refuse to answer them

one day frypan brought up something about one of Gally's old friends on accident and he just started BALLING, it wasn't loud or anything just silent tears as he started insisting he didn't mean to hurt anyone, after talking it out with frypan a bunch and a few more times after he felt a bit less guilt.

After a long time he carved his old friends names onto the stone with the help of frypan, and him overall just being supportive and cheering him on :)

(As you can tell Gally and frypan being friends is like my fav thing ever)

Minho:

after Minho was rescued he couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't, sometimes he would insist that the safe haven wasn't real and that people were trying to hurt him or that wicked was going to come back and kill him

i also wouldn't be surprised if he developed some form of hallucinations along side it, long making him spiral further. slowly though they became less frequent and intense and he learnt to ground himself, occasionally he just squeezes his friends knees or shoulders to remind himself they are actually there or asks them "this is real right?"

Minho ended up with permanent insomnia and night terrors though, for the first month or two in the safe haven he would wake up kicking and screaming but soon it just turned into silent sleep paralysis.

he never gained all his muscle and stamina back, DONT GET ME WRONG HE IS STILL EXTREMELY FAST AND STRONG but not the level he was before. (slightly chubby Minho post death cure will forever be one of my fav head canons omfg)

He and Newt talk about hallucinations and not being able to tell what’s real and find a massive comfort in each other because no one else actually knows what it’s like. (Don’t get me wrong so many people in the safe haven have trust issues but it’s not the same yk?)

Newt:

Before I even get into the mental impacts of just EVERYTHING I’m just gonna mention the fact of how WEAK he would’ve been afterwards, the flare would’ve done numbers on his body that the cure couldn’t have fixed. He was probably weak for awhile (like a month or two) and his limp was significantly worse and he used a cane (after he got better he kept it because it just made everything significantly easier)

Also I feel like even thought he got the cure he still struggles with hallucinations and paranoia, mainly about him getting the flare again or the cure somehow not working

When he gets sick (like a cold) he’s SUPER on edge because it just reminds him of the early hours/days of the flare, especially if he gets phlegm in his throat or something. Thomas and Minho have caught him mumbling to himself saying "you don't have the flare you don't have the flare-"

he doesn't talk about when he had the flare to many people, maybe Thomas and Minho a few times but he wont go into detail.

Thomas:

the TRUST ISSUES. OMG. during the scorch trails he only trusted Newt, Minho and Brenda indefinitely, he trusts Jorge and everyone else to an extent but he occasionally has his doubts.

he's entirely desensitized to blood and gore, along with Minho and Newt. his pain tolerance is extremely high and if he gets hurt he never realizes to extent, like he could sprain his ankle or something and say "i just need to walk it off" as it turns purple and black

he got VERY protective of himself and the few people he does trust, especially Newt and Minho. anyone he doesn't know he has a fear that they are always lying and that everything they say is bullshit. basically a massive "trust no one (except like 3 people)" mentality.

even though he isn't a leader anymore he still feels the need to keep up this facade of being strong and fearless, even though there is no danger anymore.

he's super jumpy, always on guard and ready. constant state of fight or flight, anyone who's sitting around him he constantly as an eye on. sometimes even Newt or Minho on a bad day, for weeks post death cure if you touched him without warning he flinch and if he didn't he adrenaline would go through the roof until he realized "oh its just ____"

[controversiallynn]

barbara in all three installments ! ☀️

i’ve been meaning to post more in depth about her progression throughout the story— so here it is!

THE MAZE RUNNER

Barbara Jane works as a Runner in the Glade, and spends more time in the Maze than most. She’s the best Runner they have available, but not the Keeper. She lacks the leadership skills to do so. She has sharp canine teeth, and nearly two inch claws underneath her gloves. She has an increased sense of hearing and smell.

She’s mischievous, playful, and confident. But, she’s distrustful. When Thomas comes to the Glade, she immediately senses there’s something off about him.

THE SCORCH TRIALS

This is where the movies and books start to diverge a bit, so bear with me.

You may notice that Barbara’s gloves are off in her Scorch Trials portrait, and her claws are broken down. When the Gladers arrive at WICKED’s dormitory / way-station, WICKED cuts off her claws to ensure she doesn’t have any more of an advantage. Including the blood vessels and nerves inside her claws. This causes her to struggle with holding objects and properly feel things; plus, takes away her best defense.

BOOK EXCLUSIVE

Barbara’s subject name is Subject A0, The Curious. It’s reference to “curiosity killed the cat.”

This name comes into play at the end of the book when the bulb-monsters are coming and the lightning storm is hitting the Gladers. While the others run for safety, Barbara is drawn to one of the monsters who has been struck. She reaches out, and is electrocuted. She falls unconscious, but survives and is taken into the Berg.

———————————————————

In the movie, this same event happens but in a different way. When the others are electrocuted by WICKED’s stun-guns, she’s more affected by the current because of her fur. She falls unconscious for longer than the others. This is part of Teresa’s negations with WICKED— she demands that Barbara be treated for her injury.

THE DEATH CURE

After months of being betrayed and lied to, Barbara’s aloof, cat-like personality is kicked into overdrive. She’s extremely distrustful and borderline paranoid. She doesn’t trust Brenda once it’s revealed she was with WICKED— even if she helps them afterwards.

She’s the first to tell Newt has the Flare. Her heightened sense of smell could sense something was wrong, even if she didn’t know what it was. She doesn’t tell anyone, but it affects the way she acts around him.

After Teresa’s betrayal, Barbara struggles just the same with trusting her again. But, her feelings overpower her paranoia. Unfortunately, it was too late for her to forgive her.

Barbara does make it to the Safe Haven. But not without her share of scars.

THANK YOU!!

seriously. thank you if you read this far and thank you for caring about my barb. i hope you love her!

Isn’t that what he wanted? Part two

part one | part two | part three

Trigger warning: Mentions of suicide, Violence, character death, sad, a bit gory, guns are mentioned.

(I have quoted parts from the death cure)

———————————————————————

The Flare, medical name Virus VC321xb47 was a man-made disease created by the Post-Flares Coalition after the Sun Flares. The idea was to decrease the population to a point where the remaining food supplies would be steady by systematically infecting people with the virus.

However the plan had its flaws. The disease was easily able to mutate and spread, causing a pandemic, and a desperate need for a cure, or some sort of treatment to handle it because otherwise, fatalities would outnumber those born, and humanity would risk extinction.

The last city, 23:19PM, Thomas and Newt had just found and rescued Minho from the WICKED facility. And now they could be safe and happy, just the three of them reunited and Bubbles together with no WICKED to worry or run from again, right?

If only it was that easy and simple. But life’s not fair, easy or simple, they’d learnt that the hard way.

They ran together, trying to reach the tunnels to join everyone as they went to evacuate the progressively breaking city.

Newt, however, fell behind. He couldn’t keep up, his body slowly deteriorated as the virus moved up further. Blackened, dying veins made their way up to his porcelain skin, making his features look like cracking pottery. He coughed and moved against a wall, struggling.

The others were long gone, but Thomas stayed put. He was struggling to walk or support his frame, the black liquid spilling his mouth “Tommy.. please.. I..”

It seemed like a light switch, flicked on every time the flare took a hold of Newt, he’d become aggressive and seem more like a monster. Thomas tried to grab him to carry him to the others but he pushed him away, grabbing the gun from him, more of that vile liquid spilling, he pointed it at the boy he did love so so dearly. Then the switch flicked off and he noticed what he was doing, instantly turning the barrel to face himself. He hated this creature inside him.

The brunette pushed him down, taking the gun off him so he couldn’t hurt himself. Newt frantically took his capsule necklace off, almost snapping it “Take it..” he said breathlessly, barely audible. Thomas was trying to calm him but his attempts were futile.

That switch was flicked on once more.

“TAKE IT!” He yelled at Thomas desperately, snatching his hand to give him it. He tried to find Thomas’ eyes for some clarification he was real. The switch turned off “Tommy.. please do it..” the eyes Thomas found utter comfort in we’re now pleading him to pull the trigger.

Thomas refused.

“Kill me Tommy, if you’ve ever loved me, kill me, please.” The blonde begged, the pleas became more intense “KILL ME! Please! Put me out my misery before I become like them! I don’t wanna become one..” he sobbed, he was quite literally begging for death. For that sick, twisted peace he’d sought for many years before on the maze walls. The pain he felt currently, brought back those all too familiar feelings of loneliness and despair.

Thomas refused once more.

“Do it! Kill me or I kill you!”

“Newt…”

“Do it before I become one of them!”

“KILL ME!” And then newt’s eyes cleared, filled with a familiarity, a last gasp of sanity and the aggression stopped, voice soft “please Tommy please.”

And then with his heart falling into the black abyss, Thomas pulled the trigger.

He felt guilty the second he heard the gunshot. He couldn’t even find the tears to cry, he’d just killed the one he loved, Newt, the one he did all this for, he’d just killed him.

The last city, 23:57PM, Thomas and Minho sat over the cold, cold corpse of their beloved friend. Minho closed Newt’s eyes to make it more peaceful for him, like he was sleeping.

There was movement in Newt’s satchel, a small fluffy cat crawled out, walking to her owner in confusion. The poor thing didn’t understand what had happened to her friend. She pawed at Thomas. After noticing that he was crying, she realised.

Her owner was dead.

———————————————————————

right so the bubbles mention at the end, I feel so bad for doing that I’d like to formally apologise to specifically @the-flaminhos and @zer0brainc3lls I will get some fluffy Bubbles content for you seen.

Minho, Gally, Ivy Trio, Minally headcanons

This is also kind of an 100 followers appreciation post (I can’t believe it I love you all so so much) so it’s very long xx

(It’s 103 now I love you guys I’m gonna cry)

minho

- He has a hard time recovering okay. On top of everything they went through in the maze and the scorch, his mind was attacked over and over again until he hardly knows what’s real and what’s all in his head. He has a really rough time adjusting to the safe haven because he’s so convinced that it’s not real and it’s not safe and it’s all just an elaborate trick of WICKED’s. He still has bad days when he thinks nothing is real and there’s nothing anyone can do for him because he won’t let them come near him. It gets easier over time and he will occasionally grab hold of someone’s wrist (usually Gally or Newt) just to feel their pulse the others are used to him doing this by now

- He still runs every morning because it’s kind of a therapy thing for him to clear his head and he’s so used to it that it helps calm him down be it’s so familiar. He runs with Thomas most mornings but occasionally Thomas doesn’t go because Newt prefers when Thomas stays at home so he gets more cuddle time. Gally gets worried that Minho is overworking himself and that he isn’t eating well but Minho insists that he’s fine.

- he’s probably not fine but he usually keeps things to himself because he finds it difficult to trust people. This is until he can’t keep it to himself anymore and he breaks down crying to Gally (or Newt but it’s usually Gally) because he doesn’t know what to do which is very rare because he hates crying in front of other people

- This is kind of a no brainer but he is literally iconic ok, he’s so sassy it’s not even funny, he makes the most sarcastic comments every five minutes and laughs at the most inappropriate moments. Also do not touch his hair if you like all your limbs attached to your body. no one except Gally is allowed to touch his hair. He spends a good 10 minutes every morning making it look perfect for the day and if someone messes it up he will not be happy. The funny thing is that although he hates other people touching it when Gally touches it he loves it. Gally is so smug about it too, letting Minho absolutely melt in his lap while he play with his hair with this little proud smile on his face because Minho doesn’t let anyone else do it.

- Omg let me tell you, this man has the coldest showers know to man. Convinced that he also has ice baths because it’s supposed to help relax your muscles, so he’s used to it being really cold and doesn’t understand why everyone thinks it’s so so cold. He likes showering with Gally so Gally can wash his hair and then proceeds to get grumpy when Gally changes the temperature so he can physically touch the water

Gally

- My baby is so misunderstood, I feel like a some of the others don’t see him for him and just see the traitor who murdered Chuck. This is so damaging to his mental health, also because he still loves and cares for everyone so much and has to suffer alone while he wonders if everyone is okay, not knowing where they are or if any of them are still alive. It takes a lot of time for him to understand that people do like him and want him around

- He works as a builder in the safe haven, like he did in the glade and as a result he has really rough hands. There is always at least one blister and the shortest nails ever. I also think he would have really big hands so they absolutely engulf Minho’s when they hold hands. Also comparing hand sizes? Minho would pretend to hate it how his hands are so small compared to Gally’s (he doesn’t hate it, he absolutely loves it but he will never admit this to anyone)

- Gally still has off days when he doesn’t trust himself because he was stung and he feels like he’s going to snap and hurt someone like he did Chuck. Omg he would have so much guilt from that that on the worst days he thinks he deserved to die for what he did and that no one will look past it. Minho helps whenever this happens, constantly reminding him that no one blames him and they all still love him because Gally needs reassurance more than most people assume he does.

- I am convinced that Frypan and Gally are besties and I will not be told otherwise. They would have fun little hang out sessions, more often than not in the kitchens where they get to chat and catch up and Gally helps Frypan cook. Occasionally they are joined my Minho who turns up because he doesn’t want to leave Gally (he doesn’t say this he says he wants to see Frypan but shh) so he just hangs off Gally’s arm and entertains the others because Frypan banned him from helping in the kitchen. This is because Minho and Thomas nearly burnt the place down trying to make cookies (neither of them know how to use an oven)

- Gally lost a lung with the whole spear throwing incident (which he completely forgives Minho for btw) so he has a harder time breathing than he did before. It’s normally not very noticeable, however he has a shorter stamina and finds it harder to walk long distances. Minho, Gally, Newts and Thomas would go on little adventures together, exploring the island so Thomas and Minho run ahead (quite literally sprinting and racing the whole way even though they don’t really know where they’re going) and Newt and Gally want slowly and actually take their time.

Minally

- height difference okay>> Gally has a good four or five inches on Minho which Minho hates. If they’re having an argument Minho will grab a stool because he doesn’t like not being on eye level with Gally but Gally just laughs at him because he looks so cute with his little stool and he’s still not tall enough. There are compensations for this however because Minho spends the majority of his life in one of Gally’s hoodies (he might at well not even have hoodies of his own). Gally won’t admit it but he loves seeing Minho in them, they completely envelop him so he’s just a little blob in this giant hoodie.

- They have unspoken assignments in their house, for example Gally always does the cooking because Minho cannot be trusted, so Minho does the drinks and the cutlery. Minho can just about follow instructions off of a box and that’s about it so he usually sits on the counter and yaps to Gally about his day because the least he can do is keep Gally entertained.

- Minho still feels extremely guilty about the spear incident even though Gally forgave him for it. He would get all sad and quiet which isn’t like him at all (it’s pretty obvious when he’s upset because he’s usually the loudest in the room). Gally knows Minho won’t want to talk about it so he just lays Minho on his chest and plays with his hair while Minho traces the scar over his lung and listens to his heart beat.

- They both love to trace their fingers along the other’s scars, especially the ones along Minho’s back. Minho finally got around to telling Gally the full story of everything that happed in the scorch and Gally likes to run his fingers down Minho’s spine, tracing along to jagged lines burned into his skin. Lightning and storms are also a massive trigger for Minho, and he gets really on edge and grips Gally’s hand so tightly it feels like it might fall off but Gally doesn’t care he just holds Minho tightly and lets Minho listen to his heartbeat until he relaxes

Ivy Trio

- They have movie nights at least once a week. Thomas is in charge of snacks, he puts them in little organisers according to what they are, he does this all himself because he doesn’t trust the others to do it right because it has to be perfect. No one messes with Thomas’s snacks. They light a fire and get a massive blanket to cover them all, they also take it in turns to pick the movie because they can physically not all agree on one movie. Thomas talks through the entire movie until Newt shuts him up (by kissing him) so naturally Minho slaps them with a pillow and tells them to get a room and Thomas argues with him and suddenly they don’t care about the movie and they’re trying to push each other off the sofa

- They go on road trips together all the time to no where in particular and sometimes Gally comes with them. Newt usually drives and he’s also in control of the music. He makes a special road trip playlist with all their favourite songs so don’t mess with his music. Newt’s also the responsible one who does most of the packing, or packing the important stuff he knows the others will forget (e.g. spare hearing aid batteries, meds because you can never be too careful, water etc). Thomas is a professional yapper, he talks and talks until he gets tired and then naps the rest of the way. He’s also supposed to be in charge of directions but no one’s really sure if he can read a map (he says he can) because he spends the whole journey saying “GO LEFT GO LEFT!! Oh wait never mind, ignore that GO RIGHT”and he eventually yells so much Minho takes out his hearing aid so he can’t hear him as well. Thomas sits at the back in the middle with his very own blanket and neck pillow, in a perfect position to kiss Newt on the side of the head, which he does every 5 minutes. He also takes pleasure in poking Minho in the back of the head when he annoys him. Minho is the passenger princess. He puts his feet up and reclines his seat back and brings one of those silk eye masks even though he’s not going to sleep. He’s also in charge of snacks but Thomas gets annoyed because he doesn’t organise them properly.

- You’d think Minho is the third wheel when they hang out right? WRONG!! Newt and Minho were together in the maze for years and they have so many inside jokes, it’s not even funny. They decide to tell Thomas some of the stories of the glade but they keep talking over each other and can’t get the words out because they’re laughing too much. Newt laughs like an angel because of course he does, Minho laughs without making any sound so he just silently rolls around and slaps the floor (he looks likes he’s dying), Thomas laughs like a suffocating horse. Thomas and Minho on the other hand have about two braincells each which they manage to loose in 5 seconds of each other’s presence. They’re those people of run and hug each other every time they see each other even if they’ve only been gone for 2 minutes. They’re also are very competitive with each other, they race each other allll the time.

Thank you listening to me ramble (I’m not done there will be more 😈)

Writers Guild Cock Fight: South Downs Rimjob

CW/TW: Explicit, rimming and anal, very brief/light mentions of exhibitionism/getting caught. A bit wet and messy.

Summary: Crowley accidentally seduces Aziraphale by being domestically blissful (happily watching birds in their garden) and blissfully domestic (while he does the dishes). He's wearing an apron and rubber gloves and is elbow deep in hot soapy water, when Aziraphale sinks to his knees behind him. A lovely time is had by all.

Thanks: Enormous thanks to the Good Omens After Dark Writers Guild for cheerleading and generally giving me an excuse to indulge in some very fluffy, sappy porn. Special thanks to u/Hakunahistata, u/Harlotofupdog, u/FuzzyGoblinoid, u/logicalhighly, and u/NegotiationReal6508 for their beta reads! Added thanks to Fuzzygoblin for making the cover-art for the reddit and tumblr posts!

Written for the @goodomensafterdark Smut War!

Excerpt: “You’re so absurdly seductive. You don’t know what you look like.”

In an apron over the usual black jeans and a thread-bare T-shirt, he thinks he does and doesn’t really get it. But pushing back against Aziraphale, tilting his head for another kiss, Crowley knows what Aziraphale looks like: in pressed caramel-coloured linen trousers and the softest pale-pink woollen sweater, button-up with bowtie and vest beneath – even in the warmth of late Spring. And still, devastatingly, bespectacled. Sure enough, Crowley feels his blood thrum with expectation, want pooling in his belly as he wonders what Aziraphale will do.

Aziraphale’s lips work down the line of Crowley’s neck, sucking over the pulse point as his hands stroke down the lengths of his arms, stopping just short of the water.

“Really my dear, when you parade around like this, you must know I’ll need to have you.”

Crowley tries to play coy but his voice comes out shaky, “You already had me this morning.” And then he remembers and the groan of annoyance betrays him entirely, “Aziraphale, we can’t, Anathema and Newt could be here any minute.”

Aziraphale’s hands land on his hips, holding him roughly as he presses forward twice and then deftly pulls the button of Crowley’s jeans free and the zip down to where Crowley’s hips are snug against the side of the counter. “Probably should have thought about that before you seduced me, you wicked thing.”

Laughter trips from Crowley’s lips at the ridiculousness of the angel behind him but a quick glance at the clock tells him that Anathema and Newt are, indeed, expected to appear at the end of the garden path very soon. That was the problem with having friends, you said things like, ‘Come whenever, late afternoon, we can do cocktails outside before dinner.’

Crowley’s laughter is cut short by Aziraphale’s hands shoving beneath the waistband of his jeans and pushing them and his pants down his thighs. He lets out a surprised, “Angel!” and tries to twist around again.

Aziraphale doesn’t let him.

Crowley cranes his neck back and narrows his eyes, saying indignantly, “I am not going to be caught naked and bent over the kitchen sink.”

“Shouldn’t have tempted me, then,” Aziraphale says and drops to his knees.

“Don’t move,” he says again with enough authority that Crowley knows he can’t.

Crowley bites out, “I maintain that it is not my fault you’re weirdly turned on by me doing housework.”

Rereading scorch trials

So I’m currently rereading scorch trials so heres a couple things I’ve noticed

So Thomas Wakes up in that WICKED-not WICKED room at the start of the book and stuff going crazy but THE FIRST THING HE ASKS is just “Where’s Newt?”

When everyone is reading each others tattoos “Then, quite by accident, the two of them stood facing each other.” (Talking about Thomas & Newt) Was it by accident WAS IT? all I have to say it Newtmas.

Just realised these are both Newtmas related so enjoy

might post more if I find some
