#tahiti flashbacks

[tmntxthings]

So I’ve been seeing a bunch of Future Leo fics where he goes back in time floating around and it got me thinking

Imagine being Leo’s s/o in the future only to die like protecting him or something and then when he gets sent back and sees his s/o’s younger self?? The angst material here!!? Especially if they aren’t dating yet and get together during the Kraang apocalypse. And then when Young Leonardo is being stupid he pulls him aside and grabs his shoulders and is like

“Cherish them! Fucking cherish them!!” As he like sobs or something idk.

This idea just popped into my head. Feel free to add on or just react to this

一∑ blast from the past。・゜・

my reaction? OUCH- my freaking heart anon, you just stomped on it, did a little jig on it, DAMN 😏 you’re good

author’s notes: idk just adding a little something something to this angsty bit^ also imagine future!leo like being unable to stop himself from pursuing 👀 like the implications… the jealousy.. the age gap? 💀 JUST A THOUGHT OKAY???

warnings: angst, cursing, more angst, flashbacks, mentions of death and unedited asf

—————————————————————————

About a month had gone by since Leo had dropped out of the sky back in time. During that time, he had explained himself as best he could. It was surprising how easily they accepted the concept of time travel but Leo guessed they had experienced weirder things! Luckily he had traveled back a day before his younger self royally fucked up! That gave Leo time to explain the kraang with the help of dad, and formulate a foolproof plan. They had made sure to save the world without any casualties. The Kraang didn’t even get the chance to exit the prison dimension. He had saved the world. He had saved their world. Maybe that could make up for the wrongs he had committed in his own timeline. It didn’t feel like it, but Leo felt at least a little bit of hope knowing that none of his brothers would be dying because of his mistake this time around.

After that some things had to be settled. The main thing was what would he do now? A 40-something turtle in a timeline that wasn’t his own. He didn’t belong, despite this being his home. So when the dilemma came up about what to do with the key. Leo readily offered up himself. He had plenty of reasons. 1. He had lived his life already, he didn’t mind living on the run, away from New York, away from the Foot Clan. 2. He was older, he wouldn’t make the same mistakes twice. 3. Who else would do it? It wasn’t like it could be destroyed and it also couldn’t stay in the lair or anywhere else that the Hamato Clan held dear.

So yeah, he would take the key. And he would go on what he liked to call around the youngins ‘a vacation.’ He made it sound so grand. He would go travel the world. The first mutant turtle world traveler! To Tahiti and beyond. Plus it wasn’t like they couldn’t call him, FaceTime him. It would be like he had never left! At least that’s what he told the teenagers. For the most part Leo thought he had convinced them. And he had convinced himself too.. until he saw you.

He rarely left the lair, now more than ever since he was leaving in a couple of days. He couldn’t continue to risk everyone’s safety by staying for too much longer. For having the key there in one place for so long. But he had wanted to spend as much time with the boys as possible, so when they offered for him to join in patrol, “Ya know only if your old bones can handle it~” Leon shot back. “What he means to say is—“ Raph started to say, giving his little blue brother an annoyed side eye. “Sure sure, we’ll see who’s trailing behind on the rooftops,” Leo said with a smirk.

The competitive glint shone not only in Leon’s eyes but everyone’s. Good! Leo thought to himself and kept his word. He had a massive lead, the youngins still had a lot to learn. Which made the inevitable departure that much harder. He skidded to a stop on a low-rise building. He peered behind his shoulder, smiling at the group who were now racing amongst themselves for second place. He chuckled to himself as he turned back to the street in front of him. Leaning over the edge to see the sidewalk and it was like someone had physically punched him. Straight in the gut. He wobbled backwards, blinking rapidly before moving forward once more. It couldn’t be! What were the chances?!

Yet there you were, headphones on, none the wiser of the ninja watching you from above. Trailing you as you continued on your merry way. Yes it was just like you, with music involved to be doing a little dance in the middle of walking. His breath caught in his throat. You were here. You were alive. It brought him back to his time, when he had lost you. The pain in his chest from the memory alone had his good hand going up to his upper-plastron. “What’re we looking at,” Leon murmured. It came as no surprise that he would get second place. What was a surprise was how serious he sounded. Leo made sure to school his features, to give nothing away. You didn’t need to get involved… maybe in this timeline you would never have to worry about mutants and villains.

Maybe you could have a normal life and continue doing your little happy dances down the New York City sidewalks. “Nothing, just had a flashback.” Leo decided a half truth would allow you to escape his younger versions curiosity. “Wait a minute! That’s Y/n!! Hold on Peepaw,” and before Leo could stop him, Leon was portaling down in front of your path. He had already met you in this timeline?? His gut wrenched as he pictured your lifeless face. A kraang standing tall, over your body and raining down a harsh red glow. Leo watched as his younger self became animated, talking cheerfully and pointing up to the rooftop. Leo immediately stepped back, the boys taking his place and waving down at you.

Raph looked back giving him a questionable look. Leo just shook his head. He didn’t think he could face you. It was a miracle in itself that he came across your path to begin with. “You guys done saving the world yet? Can I come hang soon??” You hollered and Leo flinched. Sure it was dark, and sure not many were out, but attention shouldn’t be drawn to them. Mikey readily hollered back, “Soooooon! In like a couple of da—“

Donnie smacked a robo hand over his orange brother’s mouth. Donnie pressed his wrist and it lit up. “Not yet! I’ll text you.” He spoke into the voice channel. Leo assumed that was to keep the yelling to a minimum since Leon was next to you and could listen in to the comms. Leo couldn’t see what happened next but he felt nauseous. Like he had just ran a marathon, eaten too quickly, and went on a rollercoaster all at once. Leon portaled back up and Leo presumed you had left. Until you also came through the portal. He seized up all over again. If only for a second before realizing he was an adult and had to act like one. Maybe you wouldn’t notice him on the far side of—

“Yeah see, I told you ! He’s me, just from a different future!” Leon said smugly as he motioned his arm towards his future self. “Oh wow you weren’t kidding!” Your mouth dropped open in sheer shock. You were so close now. And so much younger, he had met you during the apocalypse in his lifetime. He drank in your features. They were softer, you weren’t battle worn, the light was still glowing in your eyes. Music played lowly from your headphones that rested on your collar. “Yeah he doesn’t talk much..” Leon coughed. Leo cleared his throat with frustration, such a little shit. “Hi,” he said lamely.

“Hi!” You smiled back, and took liberty to close the gap. “So I’m guessing you were a big help in saving the world huh?” Leo gulped. Was that a trick question? “Well.. yeah I guess,” it would be too time-consuming to say he had to learn the hard way first. Yeah, actually I destroyed my world, and being the last survivor fate must’ve felt like second-chances were a thing and dumped me here to fix what I had royally screwed. You wouldn’t understand, and from the innocent gaze in your eyes he wanted to keep it that way. You didn’t need to know the truth. It would only dull that spark. “Thank you! For coming back and saving our butts then,” you winked as if this was a little inside joke. Leo couldn’t help but crack a soft smile, one that must’ve gave himself away because in his peripheral he saw someone stiffen. A lot of someones. He could only nod after that, any verbal response completely leaving him as he looked down to his feet. To your feet. He had missed you. It was hard not to just reach out. To hug you. But it was enough to know you were here in this world, alive and happy from what he could tell.

“Rightttt well, let’s portal ya back down huh?”

“Oh wait, look Donnie! Know this one??”

“Indignant scoff! What am I listening to??”

“Lemme listen! C’mon lemme listen!!”

“Guys we gotta get going!”

Leo’s gaze had lifted to see the exchange. Watched as Mikey bounced around with grabby hands for the headphones. Only for Leon to make a well-timed portal once Donnie had chucked them off of his head. “Heyyyyy!” Mikey cried out as Leon placed the headphones on his own head. “Don you’re crazy this is a vibe!” His younger self said as his head bobbed. “I disagree!” Donnie replied promptly. Mikey was turning feral as he lunged for the headphones once more, complaining that it was his turn. Raph caught him mid-air, and Mikey struggled to be released. “Don’t worry Mike I’ll send you the song asap!” You shot him a thumbs up and that was the only thing that seemed to subdue him. Raph still held on for good measure. Leo kept the headphones on as he made a grand gesture for you to go first into the portal behind you. “See you guys later!” You waved before disappearing into the blue circle.

So you had known them for a good while, Leo deduced. He didn’t know how to feel. His initial reaction was to act like you hadn’t existed. Pretend like he had never known you, for your safety. But maybe that had been selfish of him… you were always a joy to be around. Even during the darkest times. It was what had drawn him to you from the beginning. When he couldn’t be the ‘leader’ anymore, when he couldn’t put on the bravado and be the fearless warrior. You had picked up his slack. You had been his lighthouse during an eternal night. The patrol went smoothly from there. Though Leo knew he was distracted. He wasn’t called out about it until they reached the lair again. “So what was that about?” Leon asked.

Ahh fuck. He really didn’t want to explain himself. Not to himself! It would just mess things up further. The less Leon knew, the better. So he did what he thought was best. Brush it off. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Classic Leo, classic. “Mhmm no, that’s not happening. What was that look??” Leon continued to badger. And one by one Donnie peeled off, Raph dipped, and Mikey slipped away. Until it was just the two in blue in the common area. “What look???” Leo continued to feign ignorance. Leon crossed his arms, “You know them don’t you? Why were you trying to act like—“

“Can you just drop it?” Leo gritted out as his good hand flexed at his side. “No.” Leon stated plainly. Each looking at one another with a level stare. “Yeah sure I knew them! Alright??” Leo exasperated as he turned to leave. To go to his own room. To escape from any further interrogation. So much for being an adult! “Hey! We ain’t done here, how did you know them?? Why did you look so.. so sad?” His former self sure was incessantly annoying. “Leon just leave it.” He warned for a second time. But no, that was never his style. He had to keep pushing and pushing until someone finally caved. Until the limit was long past breached and crossed and stomped on. “What? Did you like them??”

Leo stopped his escape. He froze in place. The only reason being the way Leon said it. Haughtily. Like such a thing was infeasible. Unbelievable. Laughable. He felt his eyes turn icy as his head whipped back and he couldn’t stop himself as his body moved. Leaning forward and getting into Leon’s space. “Fuck you. You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. So I suggest you stop talking altogether.” His tone was deathly low. Leo hadn’t just liked you. That word didn’t even scrape the surface. “They deserved better.” He spat. That was more towards himself but it felt good to see Leon flinch. To stop fucking around for once. If it wasn’t for him— for me— Leo’s face crumpled.

“You need to cherish them. All of them. Dad, Raph, Donnie, Mikey, April! And especially.. them.” Leo swallowed thickly, “Because you never know what will happen. Got it?” He cocked his head, maintaining that hard stare on his younger self. He watched as Leon nodded. Hands clasped tightly into fists. Like he wanted to punch. Like he wanted to fight. Whatever. Leo had to make sure that at least this piece of advice got through that thick skull of his. “Good,” now fuck off you little shit. The rest went left unsaid but Leo was tired and knew it wasn’t completely healthy to berate a teenager. Even if it was himself. Ugh, such a mess.

Angsty AveryJameson headcanons plsss

these are kinda bad and cute but hey here they are: angsty (ish) averyjameson head cannons ・❥・

word count: 377

avery has nervous habits like digging nails into palms, lip biting so when she does this he’ll either grab her hands and like play with them or kiss her 

jameson always feels like he’s not good enough for avery as he’s like the “reckless, irresponsible” one - he’ll sometimes just whisper stuff into her ear which sounds sweet but really is him showing his worry as to her leaving him. they’ll be things like “i don’t deserve you” “i wouldn’t know how to live without you - please don’t leave”

ave gives jameson little massages or shoulders rubs when he’s all stressed or worked up 

their first fight/argument was badddd and avery didn’t know what to do because she was knew to the whole relationship thing so she just kind off shut down and didn’t speak to anyone 

avery worries a lot when jameson comes home late to the point where she’s spirally and asking oren if he sent out people to protect him or to track down where he is 

when they do argue it’s kind of about everything in their lives (like mentally, worries about the other or like work if that makes sense 😭) and it results in deep convos from an unsaid tahiti 

their really open with one another and will drop everything if the other person needs them - they also have a never go to bed angry rule

even though they have the odd spat every once in a while they DESPISE arguing with each other 

at night they sleep with some sort of background noise (e.g. music or a tv show) because they both can’t stand silence due to it making them think about everything but their always cuddling each other for comfort 

following on from this sometimes they sing or just talk to each other about their day when the other is stressed or can’t sleep

when avery has panic attacks or flashbacks from the bombing jameson is one of the only people who can calm her down and he will sit with her for however long she needs. he’ll breath in and out with her, draw circles on he back and make her come back and laugh. 

[terrence-silver]

I saw that someone said that terry was a bad friend to kreese I was like huh! The guy that dropped everything to get him revenge the guy that brought him the dojo in the first place which I think a lot of people forget aka the dang people on TikTok🤨

The guy that literally sent him to Tahiti to relax to take a break and drove him to the airport!

Terry did all that just to be left in the end 35 fucking years

If anyone is a good friend it is him and they say that “well terry betrayed kreese” fuck no he was getting rid of him like everyone in the damn show was doing terry actually just got it done 😒 as he should with all the manipulating and rank pulling kreese was doing hell I would have done it to if I was terry like put that man in a timeout for he can realize what Terry has done for him all these years fucking Johnny is my weakness well then terry must be your strength John because if I remember correctly who got your back on your feet in 85 who did you fight death for who brought you the dojo because it sure as hell wasn’t Johnny

I will say it again Terry deserve so much better so much better

-theweirdcobrakai

I love supporting that man terry did nothing wrong okay if anything I blame kreese for how Terry all era turned out especially twig my poor boy was so kind and sweet and he just loves so much like that scene in that cage when he was shaking my poor boy

And I know some people don’t like the flashbacks but goddamn I love them because they prove how great of friend terry is

and are the writers not going talk about how Terry was on drugs like isn’t that something serious that need to be talked about?

I mean, Terry Silver isn't some innocent boo-boo who 'did nothing wrong', but while he did evil things and things that are awful, being a bad friend is not one of them.

[msfbgraves]

Knowing I am anything but normal about Terry Silver and therefore biased as anything:

I've always felt there was a disconnect between how Terry Silver was depicted in Cobra Kai before Thomas came back on board and how TIG plays him. Even in S5, when they've had a whole season of TIG to work with, the Twig they wrote in flashbacks and whatever Thomas Ian Griffith plays have almost no similarities to me. Yes, the transition from The Karate Kid III to Cobra Kai is seamless, but who is this person Nick Marini's Twig is written to be? A nervous, submissive, fearful follower of the heroic, decent friend John Kreese. A bit of a weirdo in his karate obsession, a poser with his hair and his ascot, "I'll go where you lead, Johnny..."

Is this the same guy who, some five years after John Kreese turns down his plans for the Sekai Taikai, tells him to: "Snap out of it! Every business goes through a slump once in a while. You're going to Tahiti. Now."

I would believe a glowup between 1968 and 1988, but Nick Marini doesn't get to show us that at all, staying the sidekick in John's story, sidelined for new pupil Johnny Lawrence.

A John Kreese who is sweet to little girls and only wants the best for Johnny, the teenage boy he would have choked to death for coming in second in the All Valley.

(Yeah how did that happen? Because it apparently wasn't 'Nam!)

Those are not the same person at all -

But to John Kreese they are. In his mind, he is the sweet decent friend, Terry is his sidekick whom he can pull rank on.

Twig likely never was that person, but it is who Kreese sees him as, and what Terry tries to be for his sake. And it doesn't fit him at all, but if that is what John needs to think about himself, Terry feels obligated to give it to him. You see Terry in TKK3 holding himself back for John's sake, too, in the fight against Miyagi - a fight he cuts a much better figure at than Kreese. The All Valley in the third film is only supposedly about John, yet Terry is the one taking the stage, Terry is the one instructing Mike Barnes, cutting business deals on the side. Was Twig ever afraid to defy his father and go for Cobra Kai? Or was the point that he needed more business experience and being a full time sensei was a waste of time?

Was the fact that John Kreese risked his life for Twig partly because of Twig's machinations, too? Was Twig really the weakling John saw him as or was that a way to let John Kreese take more risks on the battlefield, playing on John's need for a protégé? I mean, look at Nick Marini's Twig, we've hardly seen him pull a trick once. Yet trickery is what Terry breathes - even to his own detriment. I have no doubt that John Kreese earned Terry's loyalty, but the fact that he is so surprised that he can't control Terry? It's obvious to anyone that Terry is putting on an act there. Even Kreese seems to slowly become aware that his memories of Terry and the man he's dealing with do not act the same way. He's shocked at Terry demolishing Johnny, but why? Is that anything young Terry Silver wouldn't have done in the third film? No, but it demonstrably doesn't fit Kreese's perception of him. Even though we know that Terry was lying to John before they ever fell out - promising the dojos to Mike and John both.

Nah. Both Nice!Young Kreese and Sidekick! Twig are John Kreese's delusions. He literally imagines the guy half a foot shorter than he is 😆

An alternate take on "Moana" (2016)

I really enjoyed "Moana." It was a beautiful film with a gorgeous story and a nice twist. However, as with all my rewrites, I did have some nit-picks with it.

More deities. When creating "Moana," the directors used Fiji, Samoa, and Tahiti, which are part of Polynesia or Micronesia, respectively. I recall there was some criticism on what specific culture Moana was supposed to be emulating, and while I think it'd be fine to include other Polynesian-inspired deities, but perhaps original ones could potentially be well-received. I could potentially see it as a cross between "Big Hero 6" and "Hercules" in terms of having a fun and bubbly group of characters, as well as showing why Te Ka is such a threat to all forms of life.

2. Make Moana less obsessed about the sea, keeping it a secret from the chief. She sees how it upsets him, even before learning why. As such, she keeps this to herself, so that she can be a chief that's not distracted. This is just me, but I was slightly annoyed that her wanting to explore the reef was moreso for herself than her people, and later she was given reason to indulge in it.

3. Moana's brothers. A big issue I have with "Moana" is that the major cast is so small; once on the ocean, it's just Moana, Maui, and Hei-Hei. I'd have loved including a couple of brothers from the original concept--not all of them, since it'd be too many characters (or perhaps some go with her while the others stay home).

4. Bring Pua instead of Hei-Hei. Personal preference; Hei-Hei was annoying and Pua seemed a little bit smarter.

5. Maui's design. A critique of Maui's design is that he's portrayed as obese, whereas culturally he's seen as athletic, and it was seen as embracing the derogatory stereotype of the obese Pacific Islander. Making him more athletic physically would've been an easy fix. Along with this, I'd probably tweak his personality. In the film, his vanity is sourced from being a hero to mortals, but it would be neat if he was a more submissive character, instead being a people-pleaser. While it wouldn't make him stealing the Heart of Te Fiti right, it'd make him look less evil and cruel; it'd feel more like he was being manipulated and taken advantage of after his mother threw him away.

6. The Ocean's duality. Moana gets frustrated at the sea for bringing her to what she thought was an abandoned island (which was actually Maui's island), but we never see her or Maui question the sea; Maui just says that the ocean made bad judgement picking her. I do wish Moana had hesitancy cooperating with the sea due to almost drowning her and drowning her father's friend. Heck, maybe make this flashback happen earlier to explain why Moana isn't as hooked on going to the sea; she's traumatized, even if she finds it alluring.

Lemme know what you think! I know this movie is beloved as-is.

[bluebellhairpin]

Someone mentioned Tahiti in casual conversation today and I got "Does this trolley go to Tahiti?" flashbacks.

[silverusso]

But what about Mike and Terry both being Omega!Daniel’s Alphas? Poor pretty little Omega, always at their mercy…

imagine peak manic Terry high on coke? when he meets omega!Daniel, Margaret's gonna have to take over Dynatox atp. and Mike was just presumably a complete menace even without the substance abuse. young alpha!Mike is a public hazard. Mr. Miyagi really gotta be breaking the door down every other day to get Daniel out of there for a few hours.

current timeline, well Terry's no longer on drugs but on the other hand Mike might be lmao. they're a little more chill now at least and Daniel knows how to handle them better. Still probably gonna need to escape with Chozen every once in a while for some peace though.

either way, there's no time for karate wars. like imagine Johnny and Kreese having their little spat over Cobra Kai and Kreese calls up Terry again for some fun and instead what he hears over the phone gives him war flashbacks and he disappears back to Tahiti or wherever he came from. 💀

[Frequency Current by Hideaki Kobayashi]

Bendy : I'm a little concern about this whole "Bendy" thing. Bendy this, Bendy that, Bendy like Bendy Straws. What's so great about Bendy the Devil?

Bendy from Portal : Well, for starters, you are the only Bendy ever to exist as a cartoon demon.

Bendy : Yeah? Well, you're a stick figure, all stick figures are wounded animated, but I do recall that is your nickname ain't it? Bendy's a nickname of a stick figure in the portal universe. I decided that I'll give you a demonstration, but trust me on this one, I'll do my forbidding, and I bid you a minor set of details that everyone knows it's Bendy. B-E-N-D-Y is the name.

Bendy from Portal : I used to be the coolest bendy of all time, but no if you were Bendy the guy who knows about Maximus Genitalia!

Bendy : Probably having a weird set back that there was another Bendy that was really an imaginary fr-

Bendy from Portal : Ahh-Don't say it. Bendy from FHFIF, that other Bendy is such a bunch of trash who messed everyone to the put blames thinking that he's innocent. Well, guess what? All people around the world hated that guy, and it's way worst like if it smells like a rat. Same goes to Smile for the Worst Picture! I mean P-U! Bendy from FHFIF? That is so lame!

Bendy : Really? What happened to that Bendy from FHFIF?

Bendy from Portal : Oh, I know of a fate for him that is much worse than death itself.

Bendy : Really? Like how did we even forget to de-canonize him.

Bendy from Portal : Easy I got it all covered. I know how to finally deal with that horrible cartoon character where he would never be forgiven!

*flashback*

Pilot on P.A : Folks. This is your captain speaking, our nonstop flight to Tahiti will be making a brief layover in North Haverbrook.

Bendy from FHFIF : North Haverbrook. That's sounded like a good place to put all shenanigans at...*realizing* Oh no...OH NO!

*Plane about to land*

North Haverbrook Citizen : There he is! Seat 3-F!

*The Mob charges to the plane to beat up bendy*

*Sounds of Bendy screaming+grunting in pain*

*Scene cuts back*

Bendy from Portal : He'll never have to show his face in that show again. Also, there was one time where Frankie would go bananas on her sorry butt and is in jail one for year.

Bendy : I guess it's just us Bendies. We're the only Bendys in this world. Besides who can't best beside that is me? Also, I gotta go have a little chat with a cup for a head that knows about Bendy straws. Why do I even get that joke necessarily done? Hope my wife that she'll respect me when I'm getting all of those paperworks done.

incendiary

both of your parents were killed in a house fire on your eighteenth birthday seven years ago, and as the flashbacks become far more frequent, you find yourself whisked along on a devil-hunting adventure with your therapist, your best friend, an overly-enthusiastic girl, and a brooding guy who knows more than he lets on. romance one of the four love interests, try to take care of your siblings from afar, and learn things about yourself you never even knew in this exciting, twist-filled trial of flames, an escapade that you will find hard to stop once you get started.

mark . 27

a caring but secretive man. you don't know a lot about him despite being acquainted for nearly a decade now. he's got dark hair and skin that contrasts nicely with his green eyes, and is an only child. you know almost nothing about his home life, because he refuses to tell you. he has a big secret, and nearly everyone seems to know what it is but you.

antonio . 25

stands out the most in a crowd out of all the love interests, being the most outwardly untypical. he dresses in very modest clothing, both out of personal preference and to cover the scars that cover most of his body, and a bleached buzz cut. he's as serious as they come, and doesn't take jokes well, so it's a surprise to you that he's friends with someone like nadia. he has a younger sister named ramona, and was born in colombia, but has lived in america since the age of eleven.

celaine . 25

she's your childhood best friend who's stuck by you for your entire life. celaine is the most stubborn but fun-loving person you'll ever meet. just try to get her to do something she doesn't want to, i dare you. she has sandy blonde hair and a ton of freckles, most due to her being outside so often. she's also very tall, being only a few inches short of antonio's height. (who, for comparison, is 6'1 or about 185cm) celaine has a younger half-brother, who all but begged to live with her once he turned eighteen.

nadia . 23

so sweet she almost gives you cavities, and takes nothing as seriously as she should. if you think of cotton candy as a person, that's nadia. she has bouncy, curly hair and tan skin, and still dresses like a high schooler, but it gives her a cute charm. you have no idea how she puts up with half of your little group, what with antonio's negativity, celaine's sarcastic comments, and your general confusion. despite all that, she's a constant beacon of light for you all. nadia has a korean father and a mother from tahiti, and is the youngest of six children.

If you could only take 5 episodes of snowpiercer with you to a desert island, what would they be?

Only five?!!!! Ughh! This is cruel. How can I possibly survive without the utter brilliance of season 1 in its entirety?! Am I to make due with just scraps?! Aggghhhhh!

But, okay, okay. In all seriousness, if I was stuck on a deserted island in desperate need of entertainment, I would choose:

(in no particular order)

1x06 Trouble Comes Sideways

Highlights Include: MY GURL JINJU! Mel and Jinju doing yoga! Besties. Labor strike! Till having her moral crisis and standing up to Osweiller. Josie! Josie being such a good spy! Josie organizing everything! Josie telling Zarah she can't tell her anything because she knows she can't be trusted. Lights and Aus helping Winnie and The Tail see outside for the first time in forever. The contrast of Melanie addressing Third while they shout insults versus later when Ben gives his speech and they're all so grateful not even knowing she saved them. Pelton! Layton being the literal worst patient ever. Melanie listening to the train. Mel and Ben flirting in the middle of a train crisis. Running away to Tahiti. The dream. Audrey's outfits. Boki! Boki and the kids! Melanie mentoring baby Miles! Ruth's speech! Layton and Melanie in the subtrain. Melanie explaining the drawers. They're lifeboats. The emotion in her voice. Melanie saving the goddamned train. Again. Piece of cake. With that little strand of hair out of place. God. Love it. Melanie and Ben hearteyes. Read the room, Audrey. We're alive.

👾 - send me a character and I'll tell you how I relate to them

ahmm Coulson.

okay this is fun. ty for the ask!

so I think I related to him most when he was figuring out what happened to him in Tahiti, like the flashbacks of things you dont remember and that feeling that your reality isn't quite right and the people are lying to you. similarly to in the last season after he got brought back. I also have begged people to kill me

I also relate strongly to his whole once I choose you I will not give up on you no matter what you say thing.

and him imposter syndrome of feeling like he doesnt deserve another chance at life
