[dee-in-the-box]

so, because i'm considering making a comic about The Prologue of Dsaf (basically, everything that happened pre-Dsaf 1, as well as maybe a little bit into the beginning of Dsaf 1), at least my headcanons for it, i thought i'd just list a few in text form, 'cause some of them might not be too clear whenever i get this comic made:

Dee's hair is darker than Jack's, and Peter's is darker than Dee. all of their hair colors are a different shade of red/ginger.

Peter moved out of Jack and Dee's house when he got engaged to Caroline.

Dee is quite literally just as chaotic as Jack is. makes sense, given he was the one she was around the most.

Jack told Dee that if anyone was being a dick to her (or was, in any way, trying to seriously hurt her), she could just bite them. maybe also scratch them like a cat. yes, Jack did (and still does, kinda) bite people. why do you think he taught her how to do that?

so, i've mentioned a couple of times how Jack is a trans man. he had a nickname, "Jackie," which was uh. a shortened version of his deadname. technically, he was only fully comfortable with Dee, Peter, and Caroline calling him that, but he didn't really protest when his employers/coworkers would call him that, and would even encourage them to do so, because, in his eyes, it's better than being referred to by his deadname.

Jack got a job at Fredbear's as a technician and nightguard when Peter moved out, a few months before Dee's murder.

Henry was actually the first employer of Jack's who both actually called him "Jack" and referred to him as a guy. Jack, at the time, viewed this as a good sign that this job would work out perfectly fine.

Jack and Dave actually talked a few times and would ""jokingly"" flirt with each other. this may or may not have also been the thing that got both of them to realize that they aren't straight.

Jack actually bought Dee a small stuffed kitten as a birthday present, a little red bow wrapped around its neck. nowadays, he uses it as a reminder of who he's doing all of this for.

Dee understood that Jack and Peter had to work so much to support her, but it still made her sad :(

neither Jack nor Peter were going to be able to be with Dee for her birthday due to work, so they both decided to schedule a birthday party for her at Fredbear's, so that she could still have a good day :]

Jack dropped her off, promised he'd be back at around six, and that they could even have a little birthday celebration at home that night before Jack had to leave for work. he'd even bring chocolate cupcakes, her favorite! he kisses her head, tells her goodbye, and then leaves. i believe we all know the rest from there.

Jack, on the night he died, wanted to check the cameras to see if there was any footage of Dee or the other children before they went missing. sure enough, there was.

also that night, before Jack went to do his job, he noticed a visible bite mark, as well as scratches, on Henry's arm. upon pointing it out, Henry tried lying and claiming that he just simply got attacked by a dog. Jack, a dog owner himself, told Henry he didn't believe him; he knows what a dog bite looks like, after all.

(looks like Dee took his advice, doesn't it?)

look, when i say that The Real Fredbear assigned Jack to be a partial dogboy, i'm not joking. he's got dog teeth now, he can literally make dog sounds (may or may not be based off of the Confusing Ending for Dsaf 2), he's got paw pads (kinda), he has claws. like, he might not have ears or a tail, but trust me: he's kinda sorta part dog now.

Henry: "So you see, William, I have the guy right here-" (suit is incredibly fucking empty, almost like nothing was ever in there to begin with) Henry: "..." William: "So...where's he at? Did you move 'im-?" Henry: "Fuck."

Peter blames Jack in the sense of "Why weren't you there to protect her?" the only reason Peter didn't let Jack stay with him was because he knew the police would be looking for him.

Jack scratched the word "LIAR" into Henry's car, and smashed the glass.

Peter may or may not have sued to clear his brother's name. and he did it by using the undeniable evidence of: JACK'S LITERAL BOSS SAYING THAT HE WAS WORKING THAT DAY AND COULDN'T HAVE COMMITTED THE MURDER. SERIOUSLY, HE SAW THE GUY WORKING NONSTOP ALL DAY HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK WOULD HE HAVE SOMEHOW SLIPPED AWAY TO COMMIT AN ACTUAL MURDER-

Peter began to suspect that Henry was hiding something. he got a job at a Freddy's location to get close enough to Henry to get the man to spill the beans. unfortunately, he died before that could happen.

however, what he witnessed on the day of his death...it did make him realize that Henry wasn't just hiding something: he was the motherfucker that killed Dee and tried to frame his brother.

Peter died having finally learned the truth...and then immediately had his memory wiped-

Jack and Henry nearly crossed paths several times. it's lucky for Henry that they never did, though; because Jack wanted to rip that fucker apart himself, consequences be damned.

i already have. another post talking about Blackjack specifically. go see that for details.

pretty much all of the Kennedy siblings after they died: FUCK Henry, all of my homies HATE Henry!!

that's about it for now. this is all stuff PRE-Dsaf 1. who knows when i'll get the beginning of the comic finished, but i'll try and work on it later. enjoy the headcanons in the meantime. :]

And They Were In Quarantine (Oh My God They Were In Quarantine)

So I came up with this little one shot at like 4am the other day, (cause what else would I be doing during that time during a quarantine), and I just had to write it down.

I present to you…. And They Were In Quarantine (Oh My God They Were In Quarantine)

——

“No, no, no, no, no! This isn’t happening! This can’t be happening!” Caroline frantically rushed into the living room of the Salvatore house, distraught by something on her phone.

Damon looked up from his book. “What’s going on, Locks?” He set the book down on the coffee table as soon as he saw her face. She looked like a ghost.

“I just got an email from work. They’re closing the offices due to COVID. They said they’re going to try and get us to work from home, but considering that the Fashion Advertising industry isn’t exactly a, quote unquote, ‘essential service’, I shouldn’t hold my breath.” Caroline plopped down one the couch next to Stefan, across from Damon and Bonnie, the other half of their weird Scooby Gang.

The group had decided to take an impromptu trip down to Mystic Falls to surprise Lexi for her birthday amidst all the Corona craziness. Stefan said she could do with some friendly faces, so they had invited Tyler and Kai to tag along with them. Well, they invited Ty, whereas Kai just appeared on the plane in the seat next to Bonnie and Damon and no one questioned it.

Bonnie quickly glanced at Damon, who shrugged. “Well, I mean it could be worse. At least you’re getting paid,” Bonnie said, trying to comfort her best friend.

“Yeah, for now! I mean could this get any worse!” Caroline threw her hands in the air.

As if on cue, both Damon and Stefan’s phones buzzed.

“Kay, that was creepy,” Bonnie said, pointing at the phones.

“It’s probably just Kai in the other room trying to freak us out,” Damon said, placing a reassuring hand on Bonnie’s knee as he reached for his book again, when he looked at Stefan. “I don’t like the look on your face there, brother.”

Stefan looked at the others. “It’s work. The offices are closed until further notice.” He threw his phone down into the table, “Apparently a coworker had a confirmed case.”

Bonnie rubbed her hands down her face. “Oh my God.”

“I just had to go and open my big mouth,” Caroline said, staring blankly at Stefan’s phone.

“Do I even want to look at my phone?” Damon said sarcastically as he read the text from his boss.

“Well?” Caroline and Bonnie said in unison.

Damon looked between them. “Give you one guess,” he said, putting his phone down after sending a reply.

“Corona,” they all said together.

“Yup!” Damon punctuated the P with a pop.

“So only 1 out of 4 of us is working,” Bonnie said, “and that 1 is me.”

“You just had to go to medical school, didn’t ya kid.” Damon picked his book back up and continued reading.

“At least you’re working,” Stefan said, draping his arm over Caroline’s shoulders. “Bex has been going crazy since they closed campus for the year.”

“Yeah,” Caroline agreed, placing a hand on her boyfriend’s knee, “at least we aren’t fully trapped indoors.”

“I could not do that again,” Damon said, not looking up from his book.

“Agreed,” the other three said in unison.

And as if the world was playing some sick twisted joke on them, Stefan’s parents walked through the door.

Stefan’s parents, who had just been on a work trip to Italy.

“Mom! Dad!” Stefan shot up out of his seat at lightning speed, rushing to the door to help his mother with her bags.

“Aren’t you guys supposed to be in Italy for another 2 weeks?” Bonnie looked nervously at Damon and Caroline.

“Oh, we got home as soon as we could before they closed down the country,” Marie Salvatore said, shrugging her coat off.

“Got on the last flight out of there,” Joe said as he set his keys down. “Where is Lexi? I need some help with the bags.”

“I can help you, Joe.” Damon stood up quickly, walking over to where Joe was lugging in another large suitcase.

“Oh, thank you son, the rest are in the car.”

Marie stepped further into the house. “Well, I hope you four have made yourselves comfortable, because you’re going to be here for the next little while.” She took a seat on the couch next to Bonnie.

“What do you mean?” Caroline fired a quick glance at the others.

“Haven’t you heard dear? Anyone who has travelled outside the country has to self-isolate for at least two weeks. And since you dears have been in contact with us…”

“That means we’ve been exposed,” Bonnie finished, exasperated.

“That’s right,” Marie said, placing her hand in Bonnie’s knee.

Damon and Joe walked through the door with the last of the bags. “Well, that’s all of them,” Joe patted Damon on the shoulder. “Thanks again there, son.”

“No problem, sir,” Damon said, waving Joe off.

“Well!” Marie stood up, clapping her hands together. “As of now this house is officially under quarantine!” Her tone made her sound almost excited. “It’ll be a wonderful chance to get to know you two better,” she looked at Damon and Caroline, smiling. “Now, where are Lexi and Bekah? I brought them back something I think they’ll love!” And with that, she walked away.

“That wife of mine,” Joe smiled. “I am sorry about this kids.” Joe patted Damon on the shoulder one more time, and went to follow his wife.

“What did I miss?” Damon looked at the others, hoping for answer.

“It’s happening again,” Caroline said, staring blankly into nothing.

“We’re stuck inside for the next two weeks,” Stefan added, sitting down next to Caroline.

“Why?”

“Self isolation.” Bonnie put her head into her hands.

“But why? We didn’t leave the country.”

Damon placed his hands on his girlfriend’s shoulders, rubbing soothingly.

“No, but my parents did,” Stefan threw his head back.

“And we’ve been in contact with them,” Caroline added.

Damon’s eyes widened as it fully hit him. “No.”

“Yep,” Bonnie said, placing a hand overtop his. “We’re trapped inside together, again.

“Only this time with my sisters,” Stefan grumbled.

“And your parents,” Caroline pointed out.

“And my brother,” Damon added.

“And Kai,” Bonnie finished. “Where is Kai anyways? I get nervous when I haven’t seen him for a few hours.”

That’s when the house shook, as an explosion from the far end of the house rocked down the halls.

None of the four even flinched; they had all gotten used to it by now.

“Well,” Damon said, making his was over to the drink cart, “if we’re gonna do this again, I’m going to need,” he popped the lid off the decanter, “a drink.” He looked up at the others. “Anyone else?”

Three hands immediately rose into the air.

“Thought so.”

——-

Reply: ohhhhhhhhh my God, I loved this so much! I was honestly laughing since the title and then it just kept getting better and better. Kai just showing up on the plane and no one questioned it? Perf. The whole thing mirroring the original scene where they all find out about the blizzard so perfectly except with an added layer of ‘not again’ panic/defeat? Chef’s kiss. Bonnie being the only essential worker and Damon calling her kid? Brava (although thankfully in real life they sent med students home - we’re easily the least essential people on the planet). I loved this so much, and LOOOOOOOOL the idea of making it literally everyone this time is hilarious - the core four are going to be so used to it whereas everyone else is going to be losing it. They’ll have to show them the ropes - step one is find someone to have unresolved sexual tension with and let that distract you for most of the time. Step two is drink a lot. Step three is learn how to not react to Kaisplosions. Voila, survival. This was so great, girl, thanks so much for sending it my way!!!! I’m unfortunately not really off during this time because I have my Step 2 exam in a few weeks so I can’t really be writing but submissions like this make the world go round, y’all are awesome.

You Are The Universe Experiencing Itself

January 30, 2018

Do not become / A “new you”. / This year, / Become / A better You.

Hello there, loyal readers. This update is going to have quite a quantity of information shared with you all, so be prepared not to be able to read all of this in one sitting. I’ll have headings as I usually do so that if there is something anyone wants to skip over, it’s easier to do so.

Hair and Color

More than two months ago, I decided that I needed a change. I’d had my red hair for so long, then ended up growing it out for various reasons, and I feel like having dyed hair makes it easier for strangers to come up to me and start a conversation. So, I booked an appointment with my hairdresser. Well, not my usual hairdresser, as he moved to another salon, but this one was friends with my trusted hairdresser. Plus, she did my dad’s hair, so I figured why not?

I wrote this a while back to post as another entry, but ended up not publishing it because, well, we’ll get to that later.

November 12, 2018

Got my hair cut and colored today. I have been deliberating on getting my hair cut lately as my hairdresser moved salons, and It’s about a half hour away… My hair has been kind of a touchy subject lately. But my dad convinced me that I was beginning to look a little too shaggy, or as he so eloquently put It, “homeless”. So, I booked an appointment with Annie, who cuts his hair and my grandmother’s, but today was our first time doing my hair. She’s a really cool individual plus she’s friends with my hairdresser so I figured I’d give her a try.

I’m really glad I did! She did an absolutely amazing job! My head fell only about three times and getting it colored was painless. Between her being careful but confident, and my Spinraza strengthened muscles, and Dad when he was needed, the three of us made a good team.

Originally, I was just going to do blue highlights. I’ve missed having my hair as a talking point for strangers, and I didn’t want to do red again, so I figured why not do something totally seemingly out of character?! I’ve thought about doing crazy colors before, but I have the confidence of a… Okay, everything has more confidence than I do when it comes to my appearance or personality. Anyway, I’ve been slowly trying to get back to my old cheerful self that did what she wanted to do because It made her happy, not because she wanted to Impress someone other than herself.

So that’s what I did.

When Annie showed me the shade of blue that I was thinking of doing, it was on a ring of other colors as well. In noticing this, an Idea was forming in my head, with the conversation that I had with my grandmother playing in the background.

“May I see the purple?” I asked with curiosity.

Who said I only had to have one color highlighted into my hair?

That’s how I ended up with glorious highlights of blue and purple.

It wasn’t until about two months later that I got to refresh my glorious cosmic hair, as my hairdresser had gotten sick the day I was originally going to redo it, and then I got sick on the day I rebooked with her. Which leads me into my next heading.

A Spin On Colds

Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentlemen, I got sick recently. Directly after Christmas, in fact. It was rather an interesting holiday this year as my grandfather came down with something right before my aunt flew in from New Jersey. So instead of spending Christmas with my grandparents like we have every year prior, my aunt and I slept over at my dad’s, so I wasn’t near germs. I have, I’m sorry, I had managed to stay healthy and not get sick for almost two years this coming February. However, after three late nights, and exhibiting much more energy than I have for quite a few years, my body ended up giving in to the sick life. This time, though, something was different. This time, I didn’t go downhill like I always do. This time, I got a regular old head cold.

Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. That first morning when my sore throat began to break, I coughed, and I sounded like I was drowning. Just like every sickness I’ve had to endure since I first started this seemingly endless battle with my own body back in 2015. My dad sounded more irritated than I can describe when he heard this cough first thing that morning, but nonetheless turned me on my side like I do every morning to get my glug out and set up my nebulizer to give me a treatment. Granted, I believe it may have been an hour that it took to get this stuff out, but the thing is, I got it out. And it stayed out. It would come back a bit every so often and if I didn’t keep up with my decongestants along with my nebulizer treatments, I’d end up getting really stuffy and would feel an allergy tickle in my sore throat, but it never went beyond this. One of the days, though, my throat hurt so much that I had to use my phone to communicate by having it read off the words I was typing. Luckily, that only lasted for one day. The day after that, it still didn’t feel great and I had to periodically have my phone talk for me, but this was all normal. No drowning in my own lungs, no wishing it would all just end, no epic depression after realizing I was sick again. Just felt… Sick.

Now, this is something absolutely huge in my life because I now know that if I do get sick, this is all that will happen. I now don’t have to live in constant paranoia that if I get sick, I might die. Why have I come to this conclusion? How could I possibly know that this wasn’t just a fluke and that this wasn’t just a coincidence? Well, first off, I don’t believe in coincidences. Secondly, I would have to have absolutely no knowledge of my own body to think that this situation will not replicate itself. Every single time I got sick before, it didn’t matter if it was from pain, stress, fatigue, whatever, I would end up going downhill and not being able to breathe without extreme fear of drowning without my Bipap. This time, I spent one full day with my breathing helper and I was actually able to eat. Which was absolutely amazing since my appetite has been rather small since my fifth Spinraza injection, resulting in me eating less and less which most likely did not help my body fight off this cold in the first place. Since I got over my sickness about a week and a half after coming down with it, my appetite has luckily increased. Dinner isn’t fun trying to get down still, but the rest of the day I am actually eating.

I cannot vocalize enough how grateful I am for being able to say that Spinraza has absolutely turned my life on its axis. If it weren’t for this incredible medication, I do not believe that my cold would have simply stayed as a cold the way it is supposed to.

A week ago, I did finally end up getting my hair redone and I am absolutely in love with it again as I actually went back to my pixie cut.

Cue cheesy smile

Written in the Stars

Even though Christmas was not at all what we had anticipated, there were a few good things that came out of it. I managed to send my friend in New Jersey a home made present created by yours truly, which in turn showed me that I can actually sew with a needle and thread now. I got photos with Santa and his wife who travel around my grandparent’s neighborhood with the fire department and a fireman came up to me with a hat saying I could come work for them any time I wished. I was buzzing by the end of that night even when I knew we couldn’t have our normal Christmas Eve dinner together. My family discovered that our long-time friends and neighbors were our secret Santa that did the 12 Days of Christmas with a gift waiting outside our front door every day from the fourteenth of December to the twenty-fifth. But what really made an impact on me this Christmas was what was in my stocking. A book. But not just any book, no, this book was a book of poetry. Light Filters In written by Caroline Kaufman was in my stocking and when I read the poem written on page eleven, I felt as though I was reading my own thoughts. For the first time, what I had been trying to explain to others, but mostly myself, was written down in this two-hundred poem book created by a female the same age as I am.

Poetry has been a fairly large interest of mine since I had to write my poem for class which I added to my video for the SMA Video Contest. Especially once my dad introduced me to The Doors when he made me watch the movie with Val Kilmer starring as Jim Morrison. That man made me want to write more poetry, then I read Ms. Kaufman’s poetry and I decide that I will follow in her footsteps, but with my own spin of my tires. So far, I have twenty-three poems written and I am not stopping there. Especially when all of this made me realize that I have been writing poetry for most of my life without even being conscious of it. I’ve always loved trying to write songs, but I could never figure out a chorus. I thought poetry had to rhyme, but I realized that this is a fallacy. Which has opened a portal that I never knew existed.

Which kind of brings me to my next topic, which is going to be under this heading because this is all pretty connected.

As I mentioned earlier, I entered a contest that was to explain what it is like living with SMA for me. I placed fourth, but I had and have absolutely no idea how to promote my creations. However, the first, second, and third place winners did. The reason why I am bringing this up is due to an email I received a few weeks back. Writing this down is not easy, even though I never knew him personally, he was and is a part of the SMA family and participated in the same contest I decided to partake in. Ryan Cotter, the third-place winner, passed away at the beginning of December due to complications caused by the disease we both endure. He was 17 years old and excited to attend college after he graduated this year and was accepted to Arizona State University’s Digital Culture degree program as he was fascinated by the creation of videos and luckily, he had the utilities to allow him to experiment and fulfill his want to create with technology.

Now, I have had this information in my possession for a few weeks now and I honestly have no idea where to pocket it. Hence this update being much later than I had intended. I am about to confess something that may or may not end up bringing hate mail in my comments or inbox, but I feel like this information needs to be out there. Ryan ended up impacting me in a way that I never imagined I could be impacted.

I never liked being around, associated with, or promoting the fact that I am apart of a disabled community. I never wanted to do the video contest as it ended up making me relive my darkest moments. I never made it all the way through each video that was also entered into the contest because I could not bare to see others like me. I never like the fact that I am disabled and never want anyone to acknowledge that I am unless it involves my limitations as I’ll end up beating myself up over something I cannot do if it is brought to my attention.

All of these things kept me from watching Ryan Cottor’s video before he passed. All of these things kept me from discovering that he and I had a lot in common and that we could have developed a friendship. All because I was selfish and did what I get angry at everyone else for doing. Judging someone before I get to know them. Due to this, I have been a big ball of guilty energy. I know that I cannot change the past, I know it’s a bit too late to ask for forgiveness, but I would give every injection I have had of Spinraza to him if it meant he could have lived the life he should have lived. However, this is only something that can happen in my imagination, so what I will do to try and set things right is to allow myself to become a better version of myself. Isn’t that what everyone else does this time of year? Make new years resolutions? Well this is mine.

I promise to become a better version of myself that has theories to suit facts instead of facts to suit theories. To know absolutely everything I can about a situation before believing I already do. To be an advocate for the disabled community that will not sugarcoat the truth to make it easier to swallow.

I may appear cynical at times, but the reality behind having such a debilitating disease is not a kind one. However, there are those like Ryan who would never allow that to be his reality, which allowed him to live life the way he wanted to. Not all of us are that fearless, but we can strive to be. The way I will strive to be fearless is to put together a book of poetry written by yours truly. Becoming an even better writer is what I will work on this year. I have taken my six months off, now it’s time to work. I don’t know if I will go to college, I don’t know if I will suddenly be able to walk with Spinraza leading the way like Venom does for Eddie when he heals him after his motorcycle accident, I don’t know if a celestial anomaly will hit the earth while I sleep and wipe out humanity’s only home, I don’t know if I will ever pluck up the courage to tell someone I love them, I don’t know if the next time I get sick that I will be able to get well again. None of us have any guarantees in this world, so we have to live it without fear and with an understanding that our lives are our own, to not let anyone else take anything away from it and only add to it.

I will be trying to add to this blog at least every week from now on. That way it will be easier to keep track of new advances in my strength and so forth.

I warned you this would be a long one. Thank you for reading until the end. If anyone has any questions, or just wants to chat, I will have all my contact information in my bio of my blog.

As this entry began with a poem, it will also end with one.

CAROLINE DOESN’T BAT AN EYE when she sees stefan in her kitchen. too many people have been in and out of her apartment since the blizzard struck. it’s the new normal now. however, when she sees the familiar silver packet in his hand, she springs into action and snatches it from him. ❝ this is bonnie’s! ❞ she says as she settles it on the counter, away from stefan’s reach, and hops on it. ❝ i’m gonna cut you some slack because i know you’re new... and because i’m still too sleepy to make fun of you. don’t get used to it, though. ❞ the blonde says as she looks down at her legs that are dangling in the air. ❝ bonnie is like, obsessed with poptarts. and will literally fight you if you eat one of them. so i’d suggest you stay away from them unless you want to get kicked in the groin or something. ❞ she explains and shrugs, looking up to meet his eyes. ❝ anyway, what’re you doing here? i thought interacting with people was listed as a major no-no in the loners handbook. ❞

[brightlighttm]

i wasn’t able to make separate posts for each day (being adult sucks, i swear), so i’m gonna go ahead and put some of the days i’ve missed all in one post, but fear not!! everything is going to be under the read more because sometimes i talk a lot and it can get reeeeeeal rambly. 

day 03: favorite portrayals of a minor / underappreciated character in a fandom

@townsheriff — i love liz forbes, that’s not a secret to anyone. i love lia and that’s also not a secret to anyone. so can you imagine how i felt when lia made a liz???? if you can’t, lemme tell ya: i fangirled for, like, 3 hours straight. liz forbes is - as i’m sure a lot of you must’ve noticed - not a character that many people want/like to play, so to say i’m happy to see her on my dash every now and then would be a huge understatement. lia does a wonderful job bring liz to life; you can hear the sheriff’s voice in everything she writes and every action she describes is something that makes me be like ‘oh, liz would totally do that’. so lia, this is my formal thank you to you. thank you for bringing such an important character to life and for giving my caroline her mom. you have no idea how much it means to me to be able to write with such a talented writer as yourself (hint hint: a lot!!!!!!).

day 04: favorite portrayals of an original character

@thickcrskiin​  — i’m pretty sure i’ve followed jynx and jan since i made my first blog, almost a year ago. and ever since then, i was hooked. i smile whenever i see nina’s cute lil face on my dash or when i read jan’s commentary posts because they’re always gold. even though we’ve never interacted (i’m totally up for changing that, btw hihi), know that i admire you and your blog from afar!

@intxrcisus​  — even though we just met, i can say for sure that mj is one of my favorite ocs! the second i finished reading her biography (A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF PEOPLE’S BLOGS, ALRIGHT EVERYONE??? MUST. BE. READ. BEFORE. INTERACTION.), i was like ‘ok i’m sold, when can i start giving mj the love she deserves???’. we have yet to interact, but i want you to know that you’ve got yourself a new stalker, because i’m totally reading all of your threads as soon as possible.

day 05: favorite multimuses

@theperfectstorms @astormofagirl @roseguided @starhaze @staarryniights @theirfate @theirsacrifice @madeofsurvivors @puerdeos @heartsofvalor @myricds @ofgathered @sorrowfought @personatvs

day 06: blogs that promote representation of poc, lgbtqia+, and other minority muses

@hekvvte @blsms​ @lichtwald​ @awesomegaydar​ @cursedempcthy​ @devouredwreckage​ @fiercerebekah​ @sarcasticprince​

day 07: favorite threads / verses / group verses 

@safedrowned / @ofwickedminds  — idek why i’m including you here since we haven’t written in what feels like forever. yeah, i’m being dramatic because that’s who i am, but it’s also true and i’m totally calling you out. STILL, i love each and every one of our threads - and unlike you, i don’t forget about some of them -. you’ve given me more steroline threads than i could possibly ask for and made me ship (NOT CANON) klaroline. you know how hard that is?? speaking of kc, i couldn’t include you here and not mention the brother’s fiancée verse we have. i mean..................... i’m weak for that verse. so much angst and occasional fluff. and we didn’t even get to the fun stuff yet (aka klaus finding out about elle’s paternity hihi), but boy am i looking forward to it. so, thanks for all the threads you’ve given me since we’ve started writing together. it means a lot to know you want to rp with me. not surprising in the slightest, but still means a lot. you’re cool, i guess. i love you, ew.

@badasshybridqueen  — COOOOOOOOOOOORI, you made the impossible happen: you made caroline like hayley enough to be friends with her. or in our case, best friends. more like sisters from another mister. i cannot begin to thank you enough for all the threads we have going on. they make me laugh more often than not, but sometimes they made me sad because they’re angsty af (hint hint: atelophobia verse with kris). whenever i think about our threads, i get happy. because i can see how hayoline’s friendship has developed thorough them and how we, as muns, have grown closer and closer. caroline values hayley’s friendship a lot and i value yours just as much.

@petrovanity — there’s no way in hell i’d make this post and not include you, kat. or the twin verse. or the protagonist au. because i mean......... y’all are my drug, i swear. i was so used to having bickering threads with katherines, but then i stumbled across your blog. and you changed mind by telling me that, yes, caroline and katherine would make good friends. and now they’re besties. now, caroline is *wipes tears* katherine’s first choice, and caroline-mun can’t and won’t ever let go of katherine-mun. because we’re basically a package deal and i’m so okay with that. <3

@lockpup  — it’s the 3847384374th time you’re appearing on my blog, lia. i guess it’s time for me to accept the fact you own my blog more than i do. but i’m surprisingly okay with that. OKAY NOW BACK TO THE PART WHERE I SHOWER YOU AND YOUR TY WITH LOVE. if i’m being honest, i’m super selective when it comes to tyler. i’ve had some pretty bad experiences during my time in tvd groups, so when i made this blog, i was more than a bit hesitant to start writing with tylers. but then i met lia’s tyler. and i was immediately blown away by the talent that just emanated from the words in the replies posted on the tumblr. it took us a long while to start writing together (and that’s all on me and my insecurities lol), BUT WE FINALLY DID AND HOLY SHIT DO I LOVE OUR CURRENT THREAD??? there’s already angst in it and we’ve?? just begun??? i can’t wait where the thread goes and i’m looking forward to having other 38743847384 threads and verses with you!! I LOVE YOU <3

@temperproblem  — like i said above, i’m real selective when it comes to tyler. but you, alie, have managed to break all the selectiveness walls with your talented writing and amazing self. we got along from the moment we started talking to each other, and it didn’t took long before we were plotting what would quickly become a verse that i consider my baby. yup, i’m talking about bad at love. you know i live for angsty stuff, and bad at love is filled with it. i’m so so happy to have such a good verse with you and i can’t wait to see what we’re gonna do next!!

@xhidingintheshadowsx  — lastly, but in no way, shape or form, less important: BARB!!! words cannot begin to describe how happy i was when you said you’d be up for having a SMA verse with lil ol me. because honestly??? i’ve watched you from afar for so long and i never thought i was good enough to have threads - much less a whole verse - with someone as talented as you are, but apparently i am?? and trust me, i’m not about to complain about it because our little verse makes me so happy and excited with each reply!! and do not get me started on the I Fixed Him verse, because honestly............. i’m addicted. that’s the best way to explain it. this verse is my new addiction and i cannot see where it goes!!

@temperproblem  — it’s pretty much impossible to talk about photoshop and pretty graphics and not think about alie. i mean, have you guys seen the stuff she does??? the wonderful graphics and jaw-dropping themes?? i could never do something remotely similar. alie is so talented at everything she does, it’s honestly so amazing to be able to see her talking about theme designs and code stuff because i know it’s something that really interests her.

[sixmorningsafter]

Guess what? I got my files from my old hard drive, and I have some sma!crack to share with the fandom.

Let me set the scene: a few months ago, before the wild and anxiety-inducing race that is my wedding (in literally 3 months from yesterday), I was on pinterest, looking for inspiration, and I was like, what would the weddings of our favs look like? And so, a true (rough-draft-ish) Steroline wedding was born. (I have a bamon one but no mini fic… yet).

Enjoy!

______

Caroline always pictured a June wedding. It’d be packed neatly between semesters and followed by a beachside honeymoon. The bridesmaids would wear tea-length dresses and their hair pinned identically; the groomsmen would have wildflower boutonnieres and coral bowties. Matt would never agree to a stuffy navy suit, but something linen, something gray… It wouldn’t be traditional, but she’d be flexible. The outdoor, barnyard reception would buzz with fireflies and laughter, and though everyone would be sweaty, they’d be happy, and she’d be happy.

A Texan summer wedding fit that relationship, blistering and brutal.

But this isn’t Texas, and she is not marrying Matt.

From the moment the rose-gold ring is on her finger, her heart is set on April 3rd. She could easily rattle off beautiful spring venues, reduced floral prices, weather patterns since the ‘90s, but those are excuses, not reasons.

Spring means new beginnings. It’s thawing something she thought was dead for so long, only to find it was just hibernating.

Stefan wants to wear the navy suit. Just like he wants to help pick centerpieces and wants to make a whole day out of cake tasting. He even chooses a floral tie. The groomsmen don’t wear ties, or bowties, or suspenders—thanks to Damon’s childish refusal—but Stefan is easy to please. He’s marrying a woman who demands nothing but the best—but never demands anything from him other than his true self. If he had married Elena, everything would have had to be perfect for him to be happy— including himself.

But he isn’t marrying Elena, and perfection is overrated.

Caroline gladly asks the Salvatore sisters to be part of the wedding. Stefan negotiates Lexi on his side; in return, Caroline twists his arm for Kol to be a groomsman. Not much twisting is required though; he’s already contorted around her finger.

The ceremony is at noon. The night before is wild with preparation. Damon gets Stefan drigh for ol’ time’s sake, but the girls are painting their nails and fixing curlers into their hair. The morning of, Bonnie is barely keeping it together—between happy tears and delirious ones—so Freya consoles her while Rebekah finishes Caroline’s look. She feels like a bride, not a young girl marrying to check off ‘dream wedding’ from her life.

Damon grabs Stefan’s tense shoulders right before the bridesmaids walk down the aisle. Stefan jumps. Lexi, in a blush tux, snickers with Kol. Damon’s muttering sarcastic reassurances, but Stefan’s heart drops when he sees Caroline. She always claims he walked out of a Disney movie, but it’s her who looks like his happily-ever-after.

As they exchange vows, not a single eye is dry. Caroline can’t help but roll her eyes. This hopeless romantic is officially hers, forever, and she can’t wait to kiss him.

Under fairy lights, the patio reception is chilly, but everyone is dancing. Stefan chose a really good DJ. He watches Caroline dance with Bonnie and Damon, even Kol, and she is radiant and free. His stare is met with hers, knowing and glimmering.     

In one graceful motion, he catches her hand, spins her, and dips her. Her laugh is a silly cackle, infectious to anyone around. How lucky is he to spend the rest of his life learning the intricacies of every laugh of his extraordinary wife?

Reply: WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW you’re just going to SPRING THIS ON ME (see what I did there? Spring? Ehhhh?) WITHOUT WARNING A BITCH? Cass, I genuinely don’t even know what to say - S/C is such an easy couple to overdo in this AU because 1. Stefan’s a vat of sap and 2. their source material from TVD was a little more saccharine than I tend to go for, so in general I always wonder how the hell I’d even do something like a wedding for them because I’d want to steer clear of anything too cheesy/hokey, but I’d also want it to ring true to the Disney ass idiots they both are. You just struck the LOVELIEST BALANCE between those things and I’m in such adoration of this. It’s so genuine and gorgeous. The romantic beats are warm and twinkling and soft and sincere. The low pulse of reality is humming through the whole thing. It feels real. Like I can tell your right around the corner from your wedding because this all feels so real. I loved legit every line, but these comparisons threw my back out:

A Texan summer wedding fit that relationship, blistering and brutal.

But this isn’t Texas, and she is not marrying Matt.

From the moment the rose-gold ring is on her finger, her heart is set on April 3rd. She could easily rattle off beautiful spring venues, reduced floral prices, weather patterns since the ‘90s, but those are excuses, not reasons.

Spring means new beginnings. It’s thawing something she thought was dead for so long, only to find it was just hibernating.

AND:

She feels like a bride, not a young girl marrying to check off ‘dream wedding’ from her life.

Both of those sentiments are so, SO profoundly Caroline (this Caroline, SMA Caroline). Your understanding of her is flooring, like wow nail meet head. I ADORE that you tied all of the high school June wedding stuff to a different girl, a younger girl who thought she’d be marrying dreamy Matt in a dreamy wedding in a dreamy town where everyone was watching and wishing they could be so lucky. Those were the goals of a teenager with a different outlook on life and a different set of priorities, and they were wonderful for who she was at 16, but they weren’t who she’s grown into. And I love that despite the fact that you could argue she grew tougher and harder, she picks April because it’s softer. It’s not bright, blistering June with loud cicadas and sharp cuts of sun - it’s a dewy month with gentle edges. It blooms in a quiet crescendo. It’s tentative and transformative, like early love. It fits her and Stefan so, so well. 

Also, this:

He’s marrying a woman who demands nothing but the best—but never demands anything from him other than his true self. If he had married Elena, everything would have had to be perfect for him to be happy—including himself.

Your read on both of their previous relationships and how they made them feel by comparison to their current one is SO SPOT ON GOOD LORD. That ‘including himself’ is so pivotal to what the problem was with him and Elena. It wasn’t even really about her perfection - it was the reflex ‘perfection’ it brought out of him. The perfect savior, the knight in shining armor, the self-appointed hero no one asked for. There was no room for mess, no room for real, ugly, gnarled up flaws. Just a pretty impressionist painting of a relationship. 

Anyway, I could talk about this drabble forever but this is truly glorious and just made my night, and I’m sure it’ll make all the people who can’t believe my ass hasn’t updated yet just as happy. Everyone give Cass the love she deserves for this because I truly couldn’t have written anything this lovely. ALSO WEDDING SOON AHHHHHH. Also I have an entire incredible review of hers I have to finish replying to so that y’all can read it because her reviews of this fic are always 100X better than the fic itself so get excited for that.

The Story of her.

Musim panas, 01 Juli 2000. Kerumunan orang berkumpul dipelataran rumah keluarga Zhou - Karl. Bukan orang-orang biasa nampaknya, beberapa berbadan kekar dengan seragam nan gagah. Beberapa ber-jas dan dasi nan rapi. Seorang pria nan gagah bersama dua orang anaknya nampak mondar mandir didepan sebuah kamar yang tertutup rapat. Was was menunggu sang ibu yang sedang berjuang melahirkan sibungsu yang akan menambah daftar kartu keluarga.

Kebahagiaan terpancar jelas saat seorang dokter membuka pintu kamar itu mengangguk pelan dengan senyuman yang masih nampak walaupun tertutup oleh masker yang bernoda darah. Sang bayi telah lahir dengan selamat.

Berita bahagia itu dengan cepat tersebar kepada semua orang. Bahagia entah palsu atau tidak, mereka bersorak. Seharusnya tidak, karna satu lagi keturunan karl-zhou yang sangat sukses dan berpengaruh itu pasti dapat menghambat kesuksesan banyak pihak musuh.

Ayahnya Joseph karl - Zhou adalah seorang politikus nomor satu negri ini. Berdarah Jerman indonesia - China. Kecerdasannya dan kekuasaannya yang besar membuatnya memiliki banyak sekali orang yang tunduk terhadapnya.

Hingga saat ini, Caroline Karl telah memberinya tiga orang anak. Dua laki-laki dan satu perempuan, termasuk dara kecil yang baru saja ia lahirkan. Yang ia beri nama Soraghea Meraine Eira Karl ( Zhou Jinmai )

Mera kecil adalah anak yang sangat ceria. Dia memiliki banyak bakat dibidang musik dan olah raga. Selain itu ia juga dapat mengotak-atik perangkat keras dan lunak dengan mudah.

Ia memiliki banyak teman dan terkenal humble disekolahnya. Ia sangat aktif dalam berbagai kegiatan sehingga banyak orang mengenalnya. Kecerdasannya juga membuatnya memiliki jenjang pendidikan satu tingkat lebih cepat dari anak seusianya.

Namun naas, 2011 saat ia menginjak kelas satu sma ibunya meninggal. Ia yang tak tau apa-apa hanya bisa menangis. Namun ia yang cerdas dapat mengerti situasi dengan baik. Semenjak saat itu, ia mengikuti sang ayah bersama keluarganya pindah ke Amerika. Mereka menetap disana, dan melanjutkan kehidupan.

Namun kehidupan yang mereka jalani sangat amat berbeda. Kedua kakaknya menjalani pelatihan misterius yang tak dimengerti olehnya. Ia hanya mengikuti intruksi sang ayah untuk melanjutkan sekolah dengan baik. Setahun berlalu, mera akhirnya menyadari apa yang terjadi pada keluarganya. Tak ingin tinggal diam, ia pun akhirnya mengikuti yang lain untuk melatih skillnya berniat membantu sebisa mungkin.

Dengan segala kebrutalan kecil yang ia lakukan di amerika, membuatnya bertemu dengan seorang prajurit rahasia. Ia kemudian banyak dimanfaatkan dan diajari oleh prajurit tersebut. Kemampuan kemampuan dasar militer seperti menembak dan bertarung.

Selang beberapa tahun berlalu, kini mera telah menjadi hacker kecil, penembak jitu ( ilegal ) dan knifes throwes handal. Ia sering menggunakan kemampuannya ini lebih banyak untuk penipuan, perampokan atau pencurian.

Ia tak begitu menikmati sebenarnya. Hanya saja sekali dua kali, ia merasa tertantang bergabung dalam kelompok kecil untuk melatih skillnya. Ia bahkan hanya menyimpan hasil kejahatannya tersebut tanoa sempat menggunakannya kecuali pembelian senjata.

2019 ia kembali ke indonesia bersama keluarganya. Ia membeli sebuah apartemen mewah dan tinggal sendiri sesuai keinginannya sejak lama. Ia menempuh pendidikan di universitas trisakti mengambil jurusan politik. Ia nampak normal seperti anak seusianya. Bermain, bersenang senang dan belajar.

Ia melakukan banyak pekerjaan diwaktu senggangnya. Mulai dari menyanyi di kafe dan menjadi tamu diacara musik. Namun dibalik itu ia menerima permintaan kejahatan berbayar. Juga masih bekerja sama dengan baik dengan saudaranya melanjutkan aksi balas dendam

Everybody’s Weird

TV  Series yang mengagungkan pertemanan selalu menjadi favorit gue. Seperti F.R.I.E.N.D.S, How I Met Your Mother, atau That’s 70′s Show. 

Dari TV Series ini, gue seperti di hipnotis bahwa hidup lo udah se-sempurna itu kalau lo punya beberapa sahabat keren yang selalu ada buat lo. Selalu ketemu setiap hari di bar yang sama, merayakan Thanks Giving, Halloween, Natal dan Tahun bareng-bareng. Atau membenci satu orang yang sama bareng-bareng, berantem lucu terus baikan dengan cara yang super manis dan dramatis, jatuh cinta sama salah satu sahabat lo, terus nikah, terus punya anak, membesarkan anak bareng sahabat lo, jadi orang tua yang keren dan seterusnya. 

Foto ini bertahun-tahun jadi wallpaper HP, dan bahkan menjadi cover di semua media sosial gue. Rasanya hangat banget setiap ngeliat foto ini. Duduk bareng sama sahabat lo, di meja yang cantik, dengan makanan yang enak, merayakan hidup, merayakan thanks giving, merayakan kebersamaan dan merayakan pertemanan. Gue sangat menjunjung tinggi pertemanan yang.. keren dan hangat.

Sampai akhirnya gue menyadari, ternyata...gak se gampang itu buat dapetin orang-orang keren yang bisa dijadikan sahabat. Orang-orang seperti Marshall yang bisa diminta ke bar jam 3 pagi dan dengerin curhatan galau cinta-cintaan Ted, orang-orang seperti Ted yang mau ngelakuin apapun buat bikin temennya bahagia, orang-orang seperti Lilly yang licik tapi perhatian sama temen-temennya, atau Barney yang selalu ngajak ngelakuin hal-hal aneh atau Robin yang cantik tapi agak bodoh, tapi keren. 

Ternyata gak segampang itu dapetin orang-orang yang bisa di jadiin sahabat untuk diajak nge-beer bareng setiap malem, ngerayaiin Thanks Giving, Tahun Baru, Natal, atau Halloween bareng-bareng. Semua orang punya kesibukan nya sendiri-sendiri dan semua orang punya prioritasnya sendiri-sendiri. Lo gak bisa mengharapkan lo bisa jadi prioritas utama buat temen-temen lo kaya Marshall memprioritaskan Ted. Karena bahkan Marshall dan Ted bukan dua orang yang ada di dunia nyata. 

Ternyata gak segampang itu buat dapetin sahabat keren yang bisa bikin lo jatuh cinta dan diajak nikah dan diajak jadi orang tua yang keren buat anak-anak lo.

Ternyata, gak segampang itu buat baikan lagi sama sahabat lo pas lo berantem karena ternyata, kadang-kadang, orang yang lo pikir selama ini adalah sahabat adalah orang yang paling ngerti gimana caranya nyakitin lo sampe ke ubun-ubun. (Duh jadi pengen nyetel lagu-nya Oasis yang Champagne Supernova. Wqwq)  

Intinya, ternyata, hidup gak segampang itu. 

Walaupun gue suka banget sama HIMYM atau F.R.I.E.N.D.S, tapi setiap gue nonton episode-episode-nya, gue selalu ngerasa kaya pecundang banget karena gue gak punya 5 orang sahabat yang terdiri dari 2 cewek dan 3 cowok dimana salah satu cowok-nya bisa gue ajak nikah. 

Terkadang, gue jadi ngerasa pesimis banget sama idup gue yang sama sekali gak keren. Bahkan, dalam hal pertemanan. 

Terus gue jadi terlalu “agresif” untuk bisa dapetin 5 orang sahabat yang selalu ada buat gue. Sangking agresifnya, akhirnya gue gak punya siapa-siapa buat dijadiin sahabat. He he. Idup </3 

Nah, tapiiiiiii pas gue nonton Two Broke Girls, mata gue seperti terbuka lebar tentang hal pertemanan. 

Kalau di HIMYM atau F.R.I.E.N.D.S terdiri dari orang-orang kulit putih yang tinggal di New York dan punya pekerjaan keren, berbeda dengan Two Broke Girls. 

Di Two Broke Girls, karakter yang dihadirkan menurut gue lebih beragam. Lebih nyata tapi sering dianggap sebelah mata sama kebanyakan orang. 

Coba liat aja karakter Max. Cewek dari keluarga miskin, Ibunya pecandu alkohol dan obat-obatan, Bokapnya gak tau kemana, pekerjaannya pelayan, gak lulus SMA, badannya juga agak sedikit berisi. Buka cewek tipikal. 

Sekalinya ada cewek tipikal, yakni Caroline, tinggi, cantik, kulit putih, tapi dia kesangkut masalah Bokapnya yang korupsi, masuk penjara dan akhirnya jatuh miskin. 

Terus ada Earl, black guy, tua, selera musiknya bagus, tapi agak sedikit pincang. Sophie, gadis polandia, bisa dibilang badannya sangat berisi, tergila-gila sama sex (sama seperti Oleg pacarnya), terus pekerjaanya jadi penyalur pembersih. Terakhir ada Han, cowok Korea pemilik kedai dan badannya super mini. 

Kalau di dunia nyata, orang-orang seperti ini sering banget diremehkan. Beda sama karakter-karakter di HIMYM atau F.R.I.E.N.D.S. 

Tapi disini gue gak bilang Two Broke Girls lebih baik dari HIMYM atau F.R.I.E.N.D.S ya, tapi menurut gue Two Broke Girls seperti menawarkan sesuatu yang berbeda dari konsep pertemanan. 

Bisa dibilang, genk di Two Broke Girls bukan friendship goals banget. 

Tapi mereka unik dan menarik. Mereka kaya ngajarin sesuatu yang lebih “real”. Kalau hidup itu gak sekeren itu, gak segampang itu dan kita gak bisa selalu dapetin apa yang kita mau.  

Gue inget banget satu episode dimana gue akhirnya tau kalau Max pengen banget sekolah masak. Dia sampai nyimpen brosur sekolah masak di bawah tempat tidurnya. Tapi biaya buat masuk ke sekolah itu mahal banget dan seperti yang kita tau, Max bukan berasal dari keluarga kaya. Bahkan dia gak lulus SMA. Jadi mimpinya hanya cuma mimpi. 

Dan dari Two Broke Girls ini gue sadar kalau pertemanan itu juga gak harus keren. Lo gak harus berteman sama orang-orang yang secara fisik dan pekerjaan itu “wow” banget. Lo gak harus punya sahabat cowok yang bisa lo nikahin. Lo gak harus punya sahabat sekeren Robin. Lo gak harus ngerayaiin Natal atau tahun baru bareng-bareng.  

Tapi setidaknya, mereka, yang lo anggap sahabat, selalu berusaha kembali ke lo sebarapa keras lo berusaha ngejauhin mereka. Tapi setidaknya, mereka yang lo anggap sahabat gak ngomongin lo di belakang dan mengkritik hidup lo abis-abisan. Tapi setidaknya, mereka yang lo anggap sahabat mau nemenin lo bengang-bengong di PS sambil minum Chattime.

Karena pada akhirnya, hal terpenting dari pertemanan adalah ketika lo bisa menerima orang lain apa adanya dengan segala keanehannya.

Apparently a couple kisses at the cemetery. My gut is telling me Stelena because they were the heart of the show and met there. It could be a Delena goodbye because she isn't waking up or they are endgame which lets be real can happen because Julie supports a toxic mess. Or it's a steroline goodbye because Stefan is dying. Or it's a bonzo goodbye. I doubt Bamon will be the couple to kiss there. I don't trust Julie.

lmaoooo I know this is serious speculation and spoiler, and I think you’ve definitely covered the likely bases on which couple it might be... JP is definitely not to be trusted. 

But you said “a couple kisses at the cemetery,” and literally all I could think about was Bonnie/Damon in the @sixmorningsafter Valentine’s Day flashforward that Gabi @darwinquark posted last week:

Bonnie was pointing at them with a vindicated look.

"You two are just as PDA as we are."

Stefan barked out a laugh. "Negative."

"Not even close," Caroline scoffed, and Bonnie threw her hands up with a baffled look.

"Are we the ones making out in the middle of the street?"

"Right this second, no, but five minutes ago?"

"Psh—we weren't even in the street five minutes ago."

"Yeah, 'cause we were crossing through a cemetery."

Bonnie opened her mouth to argue for a stubborn second before closing it. And then she glanced down at Damon. And then she stifled a laugh. "Maybe we shouldn't be making out in cemeteries."

Damon shrugged. "Then you shouldn't have worn that dress."

All I can say is, something tells me that the SMA version is probably a ton better than whatever we’ll see in canon???
