#powder keg

[seijorhi]

Since I see others asking about Powder Keg, I've got my own question! <3 Was Bokuto the one to bring up kidnapping their girl the first time or did all three of them come to the same idea?

hmmm well technically speaking it wasn't so much a kidnapping. they'd invited her to go on a weekend getaway, she'd agreed. it was more that they wouldn't let her leave.

but as far as the actual conversation goes, no one came out and blatantly suggested kidnapping as a reasonable option. it was... kind of like a game of chicken, really. fuelled by the buzz of alcohol, undoubtedly.

they were always going to use the trip to try and break that little wall she'd put in place, if you asked, none of them would even be able to tell you which of them brought up the possibility that maybe she wouldn't want it.

would they force it? get her drunk, maybe tie her up? she'd like it in the end, no one's arguing that, but...

at any point, one of them could've laughed it off, told the others they were being stupid and not thinking straight, that what they were suggestion was crossing a pretty big fucking line. that it was nuts that they were actually even considering it, but nobody did. no one raises an eyebrow when kuroo starts looking for cabins in more remote areas, when akaashi comes home with handcuffs and rope.

me when the start of Powder Keg at Silver Dollar City(a north American theme park in the Ozarks):

Look up the ride video because it's crazy for a kiddy coaster.

powder keg but it's makeup instead of gun powder

It seems like the calm before the storm...

It feels like there's a powder keg beneath the country and the fuse is about to be lit

I really hope my fears are unfounded or at least exaggerated.... that my intuition about it is really just an illusion, and my finger is too inexperienced and ignorant to take the pulse of a nation.

At least I hope everything doesn't blow up completely because there will be collateral damage in the rest of the world too and the power vacuum will be filled by something worse. Ravenous for every soul it can get

Hello this is my first time using the ask, I am just so curious to know what even went on in power keg. Like she went to cabin, then what, who made the move first 🤨, what was the scenario before the fic took place and even better what was the ride back like. I love ur fics and hope your well.

Hello hello!!

All three of them went into that trip not really having a plan. fucking was the plan, obviously, but not in a 'i get first dibs on the pussy' kinda way. kisumi assumes that they planned on hurting you from the start, but each of them believed you felt that same fucking pull they did. you might not be head over heels yet but at the very least, you were attracted to them.

you might need a drink or two to loosen up about it – and yeah, most people don't dive into a four-way completely sober – but the intention, the belief was that you were going to fall in with them as easy as breathing. how could you not?

and yet, some part of them knew. no one questioned why there were a pair of metal cuffs tucked away in 'kaashi's duffle, why your phone mysteriously goes missing after kuroo takes it to check on something – his is playing up, apparently. why not one of them flinch, much less falter, when bokuto jumps the gun and instead of melting into it you start spluttering apologies for 'giving them the wrong idea' and trying to put distance between you.

—

the getting away part is messier. it's a mad dash barefoot and barely clothed through the woods after squeezing yourself through the bathroom window, choking on your tears and the fear clawing at your throat like a noose, legs burning, lungs screaming because you can hear the angry shouts behind you.

by some miracle you make it to the main road, flag down a car. and through shaking sobs, an agony that cuts with every hitched breath, they tell you it's okay.

it's over now, they'll take you to people who can help.

you're safe.

it's over. they can't hurt you anymore.

You know I think it would be interesting if these first 5 episodes we have Lucy floating along pretending everything is fine with Tim and that they're back to being friends, and then we get to THAT promo scene of Lucy patching Tim up in 7x06 and Tim goes in for the kiss and Lucy finally just explodes all of her anger and resentment on him about the breakup.

Like yeah I want them to get back together, but I also want the chance to see Lucy properly get to grieve. Season 6 Lucy was being so calm about it, and Season 7 Lucy seems to be trying to pretend everything is fine and it doesn't even matter, but I want to see her drop the trained therapy language and measured responses and just get angry at him for destroying their relationship when she had thought they were both all in.

perhaps one should ask why a microblogging platform claiming to be the queerest place on the internet largely populated with teens has oodles and oodles of mass/school shooter fetishization posts, including those glorifying columbine and neo-nazis. but that is a problem that would likely require the CEO of said platform to stop publicly crashing out for a few weeks in order to solve. so. probably not gonna get fixed.
