Oasis ~ GhostxSoap

(Blurb)

Moving to a new town should have been easy compared to everything Johnny has gone through in his life.

And yet, life continues to throw challenges at him like he's a fucking dart board.

He didn't mean to lay his bike down in the middle of an empty street, at 3-something in the morning.

He didn't mean to come across 141.

And yet, that neon oasis might be the best thing that has ever happened to him.

Or

Post-Military AU where Soap was never a part of the TF.

The 141 is a garage that happens to be open 24/7.

Hurt and comfort ensues.

Onto the fic!

Chapter 1 - Neon

(Soap's POV)

Like an oasis in a barren desert.

A lighthouse across stormy waters.

A beacon of hope in the vast pitch black of night.

The neon 'Mechanic Open' sign was a beautiful sight.

Against the dark backdrop of 3am suburbia, Johnny couldn't help but feel like this whole situation was a bit surreal. A new town, unfamiliar roads. Odd sounds. Hell, even the air was different. It was like the world was against him, and the nightmares had been keeping him up until odd hours.

His bike was the only familiar thing, now. So of course... he had to go and lay it down in the middle of a dew-slick street.

Thankfully, he had been the only one around to witness his own embarrassment. He and his bike had hit the ground hard.

Unfamiliar streets, and all that.

They were both scraped up, and Johnny found himself limping as he wheeled his girl closer to the town centre. His phone, miraculously, had stayed attached to its mount during the crash. Hell, Maps was still running!

He was scared to start her back up, though. There was something dripping from her engine, but Johnny wasn't about to stop in the middle of the street to investigate.

That's why when - after what felt like at least ten hours of walking - he spotted the mechanic and relief flooded his battered body.

His hobbling slowed the closer he got. Once he reached the driveway, Johnny could see that the shop was actually pretty big for the neighbourhood he was in. A large building with three open roller doors. Warm white light illuminated the space. There was a smaller building attached to the left side, another 'Open' sign flashing on the glass door.

Johnny wheeled his girl up the brick driveway. There was a vintage Cadillac in the bay closest to what he assumed was the office. Its hood was up, but the garage was empty.

The Scotsman stopped just before the entrance of the middle bay, nudging the kickstand down with his bad leg.

A clatter came from his left, and Johnny's head snapped up. The fly screen door that must have lead into the office had been propped open, and a man with an impressive pair of mutton chops was looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Bike troubles?"

Johnny shrugged, his shoulder aching from where he'd landed on it. "Had a wee accident."

The man latched the door open before walking over to where Johnny was standing. Analytical eyes ran over the bike. Over the scuffs along her side. Over the broken foot peg and the missing side mirror.

"Mostly cosmetic, but I'd be happy to look it over. Run some diagnostics and such. When'd it happen?"

Johnny checked his watch, only to find the screen smashed to shit. He plucked his phone off the mount and went back through his route history. "About... forty five minutes ago?"

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Price's POV)

The man in front of him was a tough bastard if he was standing outside the garage only 45 minutes post-accident.

John's eyes roved over his figure. In the dim light outside the garage, the only wear and tear he could see was a scuff on his right glove. But given the damage on the left side of the bike, John suspected that a majority of the issues were currently bathed in the darkness of their driveway.

"My name's John, but most just call me ‘Cap’."

The man nodded his helmeted head, sticking out his right hand. John shook it with a significantly more gentle touch than he normally would. The last thing he wanted to do was make the man���s injuries worse.

"Soap- that's what- people call me Soap."

John wasn't about to judge him, given that his business partner seemed to think 'Ghost' was a suitable way to introduce himself.  "Why don't we put her in one of the indoor bays?"

John opened the smaller roller door behind Bay 3 and took the bike from Soap's hands once he had put the kickstand back up. The three bays around the back were mostly reserved for bikes, given the smaller entrance points. Though, Bay 4 was permanently taken up by Gaz's poker table and Simon's Harley.

He set Soap's bike up in Bay 5, before turning his attention back to their new client. John had been correct to assume the damage was primarily on his left side.

There was a large graze down the side of his thigh. Denim torn and spotted with blood. Scuffs ran up the length of his left arm, with a deep gouge out of the leather on his shoulder. But what he was most concerned about was the scratch on the side of his helmet.

"You need to get checked out by a doctor, son."

Soap jolted, as if he hadn't expected John to speak. Even with the dark visor hiding his features, John could see his hesitation.

"Ahm not a... huge fan o' hospitals."

John walked around the bike to stand in front of the other man. A hand made its way onto Soap's right shoulder.

"One of my boys is a retired army medic. Wha'd you say to lettin’ ‘im check you out?"

Soap was quiet for a long moment. But then he reached up and unclipped his chin-strap, before pulling the helmet off his head.

The first thing John's eyes were drawn to was the dark, overgrown mohawk. But his attention soon shifted to Soap's eyes. A beautiful ocean blue. Too blue. It was unusual to see on someone real. Most people with eyes like Soap's were confined to TV screens.

The third thing he noticed was the bloody cut slicing through his eyebrow. And the fourth? The fact that he was exactly Simon's type. Almost ridiculously so.

"Ah guess that'd be okay. Mah leg is a wee bit sore."

"I can imagine," John snorted, taking Soap's helmet from him and guiding him towards the door to their staff room.

He set the helmet on the break table and waved for Soap to sit on the couch. "Back in a moment."

John quickly made his way back into the office. It was nearly 4 in the morning, but Gaz always got up early. He was usually in by 6. So John had no issue calling him.

The phone only rang twice before Gaz's familiar voice answered.

"Yeah?"

"Can you come in early?"

"Why?"

Despite the question, John knew Gaz was already getting up and ready to make his way over. And it wasn't just because he could hear the man moving around.

"Had a client come in. Crashed 'is bike. Need you to check 'im out."

Gaz hummed. "Ghost is the bike expert, Cap."

"No. I need you to check the client out, not the bike. He doesn't want to go to the hospital. Stands like a vet."

"Oh, shit. Okay. I'll be over in ten."

Gaz hung up before John could say 'thank you'.

Pre-emptively, he grabbed the first aid kit Gaz kept under the front desk and made his way back to the staff room.

Soap was sitting where he'd left him. Though, he'd taken the chance to peel his jacket off and drape it over the back of the couch - torn shoulder side up.

John dropped the kit onto the table before moving to grab a bottle of water from the fridge. Soap took it with a grateful smile and a wince.

There wasn't much John was comfortable doing without Gaz present. But he could at least give Soap some gauze and direct his own hand to the cut on his eyebrow.

"Any ideas on how you got that one?"

Soap glanced over at his helmet. "Ah think mah intercom came loose. Ah don't know. Ah just remember somethin' cracking an' then hittin' me. It might still be in there."

John grabbed the helmet from where he had placed it. Inspecting the inside he saw that, sure enough, the bracket for the internal mic had snapped and was hanging by its wire. There was a sharp shard of plastic jutting out of the end of it.

John unplugged the jack and held up the offending piece equipment for Soap to see. "Yer right."

Soap merely nodded, taking a swig of his water with his free hand. "Ah'm just glad that mah eye's still in mah fookin’ skull."

John laughed. The kid had a good sense of humour. Unfortunately.

He was definitely Simon's type.

For your Caryl FanFiction. Best WIP - A Better Man by 27dayz on FanFiction. Daryl loses Carol to a Walker Bite at the Prison and is transported back to the Quarry. He gets to fall in love with Carol and save Sophia and more. It is so good. Out in The Cold by Haitus80 on FanFiction. Daryl helps a stranded motorist whose husband left her on the side of the road in the cold . They become friends and then more. Check Engine Lights by Mizdiz on Ao3 and on 9 Lives with the same name. High School friends and sweethearts and life goes on ( sequels too). Love these works and others might too.

Hi, @southerncountrygirl! Thanks again for taking your time to recommend great AU fanfics through my little project. A Better Man by 27days has already been recommended here. If you missed my review, go check it out, it's an amazing fic! Out in the Cold, written by Haitus 80, is posted on FF.net. Summary: On one of the coldest nights on record Daryl Dixon stops for a stranded motorist. She's leery, of course, but finally agrees to let him give her a lift home. That one kind gesture on his part, and one act of rebellion on hers, starts the domino affect that changes them both. (Caryl AU no ZA) Unapologetic fluff ensues. You have been warned. Rated for sexual situations.

Rating: M / Mature Word count: 111.129 (43 chapters) Published: March 7, 2016 - COMPLETE

This is a very sweet and precious story where Daryl helps Carol to get a new life, away from Ed's abuse, by providing her shelter, friendship and emotional support. Things progress quite quickly but it doesn't feel rushed because it's clear from the beginning that they are the best thing that has ever happened in each other's lives. As pointed out in the summary, very fluff indeed. Shout out to Glenn and Tara being that type of best friends who love to gossip (I smiled every time I read a scene with them) and Merle being...well, Merle.

Check Engine Lights, written by carol_is_daryls_favorite_meal / mizdiz aka @waynedunlaptheorgandonor is posted both on 9Lives and AO3. Summary: Daryl and Carol have graduated high school, are living together, and are deeply in love. Everything is perfect and there is no conflict or drama and they are living the ideal fairy tale life. Lmao, just kidding. Life's a roller coaster and they're flying on the tracks with no safety bar. Turns out you can't control the future; all you can do is live it. Rating: M / Mature Word count: 272.529 (33 chapters) Published: February 24, 2019 - COMPLETE Very important warning: this fic is the third part of a five-part series called Scrap Metal. So if you're new to this work, please read 'Jumper Cables' and then 'Team Groupchat: An Interlude' first.

I don't know what I love the most about Diz's works: her dry humour, her talent on managing to maintain our characters' exact traits in completely different scenarios or the way she surprises us with that kind of fluffy that gives a reader cavities. Check Engine Lights is no exception. Be ready to laugh your head off but also cry with the sweetness of not only Carol and Daryl growing up and building a life together but also with TF being the best friends someone can possibly want.

Great fics for loving carylers' hearts. I hope you guys enjoy today's recs by southerncountrygirl. Please don't forget to give feedback to these authors who have given so much of their time and love to our little fandom. Caryl on, babes, caryl on!

New for G2!

Know what I haven't done in a hot minute? A Patreon-backed @tfwiki pic thread about toys from before the turn of the century! Ha haa god I'm old.

Anyway, let's look at some of the new toys made for GENERATION 2, easily one of my all-time favorite eras of TF. I was the exact target demographic for the original TF line, but it was just one of many toylines I liked. I never had a lot. But G2 came when I started having disposable income, and at the dawning of internet fandom, and the innovations it made turned me into a TF FAN and long-time collector.

And before we start, everyone give thanks to Takara designer Takio Ejima (江島 多規男). He designed SO MANY TFs from this era to today, and is responsible for creating the light-piping and balljoint articulation that first appeared in these years.

The "Autobot Cars" became instant favorites (especially Rapido). The European releases were called AXELERATORS (a far cooler name) and had gorgeous hot-pink translucent parts instead of the US versions' smoky black. (Skram, Windbreaker, Rapido (old pic), Turbofire (old pic))

Of course, the "Decepticon Jet" counterparts, aka SKYSCORCHERS, were also adored. Weapons stored in vehicle mode were still rare, and thankfully the US versions kept that lovely bright-green translucent plastic. (Windrazor, Terradive, Afterburner (old pic), Eagle Eye (old pic))

The LASER RODS didn't just have light-up parts, they were the first super-articulated TFs! They used the G.I.Joe O-ring and steel hips construction, which was very awkward and made standing them tricky. (Electro, Volt, Sizzle, Jolt)

Following up are the LASER CYCLES, which use the Cyberjet ball-joint tech for much more stable advanced articulation. Road Pig and Road Rocket (old pic) also keep their lights permanently plugged into their weapons, where the Rods had you move the light from engine to hand.

On the other end of the articulation are the GO-BOTS, small and simple toys designed to work with Matchbox/Hot Wheels-scale playsets. Gearhead here was first released with clear parts, then again in the second wave with opaques… the first of many, MANY redecoes for this lot.

(No really, the six Go-Bots were released in like TEN different decos each all told over the course of eight years. It's amazing the steel molds weren't cheese by the end of it.)

The last toys released in G2 (in the US at least), the AUTO-ROLLERS (Dirtbag & Roadblock) are absolute units. Their back/lower halves have involved gearing that, when you flip a switch, makes them auto-transform to robot when rolled forward, or to vehicle when rolled back.

There's loads more delightful toys in this line, but I've already done pics of most of them, like the water-shooters (sadly my US versions are pretty rough), Rotor Force, Heroes, and the Australia/New Zealand exclusive Power Masters. Try 'em, you'll like 'em.

Heya! Hope you're having a good day!

Looked at your writing list like you asked, thanks for pointing it out.

I wanted to ask if you could do kapi and garcello x a reader who is extremely fast and agile, like as in, not human levels of speed.

Thank you for your time, and remember you're awesome! - Drip anon

Hello again! You're one ask away from being a regular on my blog Drip Anon. Jeez everyone seems to love Kapi and Garcello. The day is pretty much over for me right now, it's past 7pm. Also thank you!

Inhuman Speeds (Garcello)

- The way he found out was when he jokingly challenged to race you back to the house

- HOW TF DID YOU GET HOME BEFORE HIM

- "I knew I'd win." "H-how did you...?" "I am capable of reaching inhuman speeds." "Well that explains why I couldn't beat you back here using the car."

- He was really curious of how fast you could go

- You demonstrated by using the treadmill and turning the speed settings as high as you could

- You broke it, you actually broke it

- He stood with his mouth open

- "Is it really that surprising?" "Well...I mean, it's at least good to know I'm dating "the Flash"." "Who?" "Not important."

- Refers to you as "the flash" affectionately after finding out

- He got sick when you picked him up and ran

- He felt like he was going to have a heart attack

- "Please....never.....do that again." "Ah, did I hurt you?" "You certainly knocked the wind out of me."

- After a while he does wonder if you're even human

- "Y/N?" "Yeah?" "You...are human right?" "Far as I know I am."

- People from the military, and even track teams have tried to recruit you

- "Why'd you turn the offers down Y/N?" "I don't like the thought of having no free will. Plus I'd have less time with you."

=

Inhuman Speeds (Kapi)

- Seeing you do Nyaw on the dance pad without breaking a sweat almost gave him a heart attack

- "HOW?" "Hm?" "HOW DID YOU DO THAT SO EASILY?" "Oh, I'm just capable of reaching inhuman speeds." "Are you not human?" "I don't even know the answer to that, but as far as I'm aware, I am."

- He didn't even want to try to keep up with you, he knew it'd kill him

- "Y/N?" "Yes?" "How fast can you go?" "The best way I can explain it is if I just show you."

- You actually drove around searching for those speedometer traffic signs put up during road repairs

- You showed him by running as fast as you could back and forth

- It picked up your speed as over 75 miles per hour

- That's it he knows you're not human

- Won't stop him from loving you though

- Likes calling you "Speedy"

- He'll never get used to you carrying him while running

- The g-force you can create simulates the high you get off of a roller coaster for him

- He feels like you'd outmatch him in a rap battle if you were that fast

- And yet you still lost to BF

- He wonders if BF is even human after that

- "Ah, sorry Kapi." "You did great dear, no need to be sorry." "I really thought I could beat him." "I did too."

Warnings: Major Fluff and Cursing

A/n: OMG OMG OMG I love this request😩💕 this is too cute ty for the request my love.

REKI

He absolutely awestruck

The first time he saw you skating was when he was at the beach

Mhm that episode

You was with your friends listening to music as you skated

You was too smooth with it too like you ain’t even give the nigga a chance to collect himself

Cuz he was talking to Langa and Miya when you passed him

When I tell you this man stopped mid sentence

And he ended up falling cuz he was paying attention to you and not the road

You turned around when you heard the crash and laughing

You saw him sprawled out on the ground and you grimaced thinking it must’ve hurt

You skated up to him and bent down to check if he was alright

“Hey,, you good? That looked like a nasty fall” you said as you stuck your hand out

He looked up at you and went red

But he took you hand and rubbed his head

And for the life of him he could not stop stuttering when he went to answer you

And that’s how y’all met

And to this day he’s still so interested in you skating

Like sometimes he takes you to S but you don’t compete

You will like just stay in the corner and practice tricks on your skates

And if ppl crowd around you,, you best believe he in the front nodding like “mhm that’s my s/o”

He is literally so proud of you all the time

And not to mention your always there is he’s feeling insecure like legit you are the only person he tells what’s wrong

Eventually you customize you skates to match his skateboard

And when you showed them to him he was so happy and smiley

Basically being lovable as he always is

Manz is down bad and he don’t even try to deny it

Langa

Now we all know he would be asking a TON of questions

He thinks you look so cool and he wants to try everything you do on his skateboard

But you end up having to explain to him that skates and skateboard is different

But does that stop him

No🚶🏽‍♀️

And he ended up almost busting his head open trying to do the things you be doing

But seriously he loves seeing you skate

He loves seeing the way you do tricks and just glide along

He also like seeing make a fool of yourself while your on them

Like you be dancing and shit

And he cannot get enough

It’s honestly so cute

Miya

This little bitch

Omg he makes fun of you so much

He does not let you breatheee

Manz is always on yo ass like white on rice

He always critiquing you and telling you that you ain’t doin sumn right

But you know he likes it deep down

Manz would never says it but he could watch you for hours

He loves seeing you trying to get better

Even though he stay teasing tf outta you

This boy loves you to death and loves to watch you skate

When you show him your tricks and the new things you’re working on

His eyes literally start shining

But he again would never tell you any of this

Calls you a slime so much but baby you prove him wrong every time

You tease him too and he slaps you away and tells you that you just got lucky

But deep down he knows your just as amazing as he is

His stubborn behind jus don’t like admitting he love you and that he’s wrong

Even though he knows it too

And if he sees you out little cat ears on your skates he will go so red

He’s just adorably in denial

bts imagine: valentines day suprise

heres a valentinesday imagine since its v-day and im single and alone :C i was really happy with a few members imagines but some I think are mediocre... hope you enjoy anyways :3

requests are open!

✎ masterlist

A/N: (also WHY DO THESE ALWAYS TURN OUT SO LONG I HAVE A PROBLEM.)

Seokjin 

Jin was waiting for you outside your uni. Even though you looked dead because yay school he still awed at how beautiful he thought you were.

Jin: “Happy valentines day love!” he handed you the flowers.

“Thanks Jin... I’m sorry if i look like shit i just had the longest day...”

Jin: “Oh... You feel like staying home tonight huh?” 

He had a long night planned with dinner at a super fancy restaurant, then going to a art gallery and than ending the night with a bunch of presents.

“Only because I kinda have to study, but if you had planned something we can do that! I might be a little dazed but I’ll try my best not to fall asleep hehe”

Jin shook his head and said it wasn’t anything special, he felt really bad, not because the night was cancelled but because of how tired and guilty he knew you felt. When you got home he got a new idea. While you had sat down on the couch and accidentally fallen asleep he started to cook your favorite dishes. You woke up to a table full of perfectly home cooked food and a pile of presents by the couch. 

Jin: “After dinner I’ll help you study, and every 20 minutes you’ll get a gift as a reward!”

“Jin you really didn’t have to...” you say on the verge of crying because you are the luckiest girl on the planet.

Jin: “All I want is to take care of you, I love you”

Namjoon

You have been dating Namjoon for 3 years now and you just moved in together. He is beyond passionate and generous and hot... and clumsy... When you moved in together you both shared your car because Namjoon didn’t have time to buy his own. Even though it was a small, old Nissan that your parents gave to you when you got your license, it held a lot of precious memories. Like your first roadtrip, the first time you picked up Namjoon drunk, the first time you and Namjoon fully made out... 

Let’s just say you were a little sad when Namjoon accidentaly left it on neutral when stopping on a mountain road to take pics. That car rolled right down the hill and crashed into like 200 trees on its way down.

This is the third Valentines day you spend together with him and you expect the usual, breakfast in bed, opening presents, a walk through the park to a new café and then watching a movie in the evening. But right after breakfast Joon lead you to the front door and covered you eyes right before opening the door.

Namjoon: “Suprise!! Happy Valentines Day baby” he says as he takes his hands away. 

Outside you see a brand new black Porsche Cayman. Your favorite car ever since you were little. You stand there stunned and slightly confused because he couldn’t have possibly bought it for you.

Namjoon: “It’s all yours”. He hands you the keys.

“Joon I can’t possibly accept this gift it’s way too expensive...”

Namjoon: “Hey I’ll be driving it too, but I want it to be yours since i wrecked your previous car... again I’m really sorry about that...”

“You are the best damn man a girl could wish for, clumsiness and all”

Yoongi

Being the cliche he his, when you got to his studio he gave you a huge bouquet of red roses, a teddybear holding a small red heart and a little present box. Opening the present you find some black lingerie. 

Yoongi: “How about you go swap the underwear you are wearing now to this” he smirks. 

“What if I tell you im not wearing any underwear?” you smirk back.

You had actual presents for him at his dorm but you knew he loved it when you went commando so you picked a black dress that went down your thighs and chose to skip the underwear and just wear a large coat instead.

As soon as you said that his eyes turned a little darker, his breathing a little heavier and it looked like he was doing everything he could not to jump you right there and then.

“I can’t believe I’m going to make you put on more clothes right now but it would give me some time to finish this up really quickly...”

You nodded and went to put on the lingerie, Yoongi knows you so well, the fit was perfect and it looked amazing on your curves. You opened the door to his studio and walked in. As soon as you closed the door he was pinning you against it. Because of the lingerie he couldn’t help being a little more rough than usual, which meant you were being a little louder than usual. While you were having sex in his studio Namjoon was being scarred in the studio next door.

Namjoon: *puts on headphones and turns the volume up all the way* “Fucking rabbits...”

Hoseok

You two had been dating for about 7 months when a picture of you guys leaked on twitter. Your relationship blew up and there was a mix of hate and support but BigHit didn’t feel like it was necessary to hide it any longer so you went public. 

Obviously you wanted to spend V-day with Hoseok just the two of you but they of course had to have a concert that day. Atleast he gave you VIP tickets so you could see his performance.

During the show everybody had a solo but when it was hoseoks turn everything went dark and the big screen lit up. You were shocked when you saw a picture of your face on the screen. It was playing a slideshow of the cutest pictures you and hoseok took. It showed a picture of him cuddling you while you slept, a picture of you two on your first real date, several pictures of you two kissing. You expected people to be booing but you could only hear “aaw”’s. 

The song started playing and Hoseok came out. Just then a spotlight found you. He pulled you up on stage and sat you down on a chair. At this point you were crying because you were so shocked and happy. The rest of the show was him singing his beautiful heart out being as cheesy as he possibly could.

Hoseok: “Everybody, I want to introduce you to the love of my life”

Jimin

You suspect it’s because he is secretly a little creep that likes watching you put on and take of clothes but for Valentines Day Jimin took you shopping. He said he would pay for anything you wanted because -bts money- y’know but you still didn’t want to spend too much so you acted like you didn’t like a lot of the things you tried. 

Jimin: “You look gorgeous in that! You should totally get it!” 

You looked down at the dress and saw the pricetag. 900 000 won...���Hmm... I’m not sure Jimin it’s a little uncomfortable... I’ll try something else”

Jimin smiled to himself as the female worker pocked her head out from the corner. He gave her a barely noticable nod and she quickly hurried away. You went into a bunch of high-end clothing-stores and you only had 2 small shopping bags when you were done. Even though you tried on a ton of clothes you loved they were all waaaay too expensive.

After a romantic rooftop dinner where you both swapped gifts you two headed to your apartment. When you opened your front door the entire living room was filled with shopping bags.

“What the...” you started to look inside a few of them. It was the clothes you pretended to dislike. “Jimin... this is too nice...”

“You just look so damn good in everything I couldn’t help myself.”

Taehyung

Taehyung is truly a child at heart, so when he said he has a suprise for you on Valentines Day you knew it was going to be something fun. You had spent all day in bed together talking, playing videogames and watching movies but now it was time to leave the dorm. He blindfolded you a little too well with a double layer of ribbon and a beanie, lead you into the car and started to drive. The drive felt extra long because you couldn’t see anything but after 10 songs in the car you were there.

When you stepped out of the car you kind of laughed over the fact that he tried to make sure you didn’t see anything but you could still hear perfectly. 

“OMG AN AMUSMENT PARK TAEHYUNG I LOVE YOU THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME” 

Tae: “Wait what how did you know i haven’t taken the blindfold off yet...”

“Taehyung amusment parks are pretty loud... you know screaming people, roller coasters, the arcade games...”

Tae: “wow how tf did I not think of that” he facepalmed.

You both laughed and went in. You went on all the roller coasters, Tae even won a plushie for you. The night ended with a perfect kiss at the highest spot on the ferriswheel.

Jungkook

You and Jungkook would spend Valentines Day at a beautiful cabin outside of Seoul. You two bike through the small town and stop at a cute coffee shop.

Jungkook: “So I’ve been thinking a lot about us lately...”, he sits down at the table you picked with two cups of hot chocolate.

You became slightly on edge because he looked worried. No way will he break up with you on Valentine’s Day right?

Jungkook: “This might be a little sudden since we’ve only been dating for a few months but...” he pauses and you hold your breath, scared of what he might say next.

Jungkook: “Will you come with me to my parents house this weekend? I want to take our relationship to the next level and I think they would love you... but if you think it’s too soon we can wait!” Now he is the one who’s holding his breath.

You take a moment to process, you haven’t been going out for long but you’ve been wanting to meet his parents for a while now.

“Of course Kookie I’d love to meet your family!”

Jungkook: “Great!! And I’ll probably introduce you as my girlfriend, so I hope your cool with that label.”

MY TOP 10 COVER SONGS

I have compiled this list just to show how out of touch I am with current music. Always have been, always been an oldies station person.

I’m sure I have left out a lot of covers that, when I remember them I will kick myself for not having included them here. So this list is just temporary, based on my current mood. But that is not to say it contains some cracking songs! I mean it does.

Most of the time the original is just as good as the cover version, but there are a couple exceptions.

Let’s get started! Go go go go gogogogogogogogo

Number 10

DUCKTALES! Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons - Who Wrote the Book of Love? (Original: The Monotones)

I’m not a huge fan of the original, to be honest. The quality of the recording isn’t great, perhaps because it’s such an old song from the ‘50s. I like my harmonies clean and floating, and TFS can give me that, along with some of that 80′s cartoon nostalgia.

Number 9

The Beatles - Mr Postman (Original: The Marvelettes)

The difference between the two isn’t huge. It’s largely just gender pronouns that have been altered. Having said that, I do like me some early Beatles.

Number 8

Eruption - One Way Ticket (Original: Neil Sedaka)

I used to like Neil Sedaka when I was too young to know what proper quality music was. Over time I have come to tolerate his voice less and less. I don’t mind a bit of 50s/60s cheese but he’s just crossing a line. So thank goodness for Eruption, for coming along and taking on what is frankly a kind if whiny song and performing a disco miracle.

Number 7

Sonata Arctica - Wind Beneath My Wings (Original: Bette Midler)

I have tried listening to Bette Midler’s version but it’s just so zzzzz.

I recommend listening to SA’s version and picturing your number 1 OTP. Enjoy.

Number 6

The Proclaimers - King of the Road (Original: Roger Miller)

Like the original, + harmonies and scottish accents.

Number 5

Carol Douglas - Doctor’s Orders (Original: Sunny)

Love this song. Both versions are great. Sunny’s is more Dusty Springfield-y. Carol took that upbeat shlock, turned down the tempo a notch, added some smooth base and violins and all that delightful disco stuff. Now there are two super versions for two different moods.

Number 4

Gloria Gaynor - Can’t Take My Eyes Off You (Original: Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons)

Does this even need an introduction or explanation?

Number 3

The Bay City Rollers - I Only Want To Be With You (Original: Dusty Springfield)

All time fave.

Number 2

Freddie Mercury - The Great Pretender (Original: The Platters)

The original is also great and that. I couldn’t pick a favourite. Sometimes I’ll go for the simpler sound, other times I might want all that theatricality. Other times I might just want some of that Freddie and Roger in drag.  Why are you asking me if I am jelaous of that lady? What’s that got to do with anything?

Now that I think about it, was that third lady even an actual... You know, I’ll just stop before I insult somebody. Well there is cause to be jelaus either way.

Number 1

Klaus Nomi - Lightning Strikes (Original: Lou Christie)

I mean this cover is just genious. The original you might know is just another meaningless but harmless 60′s song about marriage.

Then you have Klaus singing it like a kind of psychopath, as if he’s trying to brainwash you into joining his cult. And in the end, isn’t that what marriage is?

Why oh why isn’t this on Spotify?

Ghost! au | Park Woojin

thank you anon who requested this to me!

this is a great idea~

part 2

part 3

it was summer of 1981

woojin was invincible or that’s what he thought

he had just landed a role in an upcoming movie, “ghost” and he was extremely excited

he had left the audition room with a huge smile on his face

he got into his beat up pickup truck, slamming the door

“good job, woojin. you finally made it” he hits the steering wheel excitedly

he starts to drive off

nothing was going to ruin his amazing mood

OR THAT IS WHAT HE THOUGHT

he was speeding through the main roads of his town

he was approaching a red light but what too close to fully stop so he thought it would be okay to just go through it

AGAIN THATS WHAT HE THOUGHT

halfway through the crossing, a huge semi-truck comes barrelling towards him, hitting the side of his car harshly

he was dead on impact

he left the world without making an impact on anybody

so that’s why he became a ghost

if you die without fulfilling your dreams, you soul cant rest

and obviously woojin didnt complete his dreams

-

fast forward 36 years and here you are

you finally moved into a new apartment in your dream city, seoul

you always lived in mokpo and dreamed of living in a cute, white minimalistic apartment in seoul

somehow the stars aligned and you got your wish fresh out of high school

even your parents were shocked

you were hoping to become a photographer and so far your career wasn't bad but it wasn't where you wanted it to be

you took a couple of landscape pictures that sold around 55 dollars each

so, of course, you needed to get a job

now, you wanted to be basic and get a job at a coffee shop and meet the man of your dreams while whipping up a mean cappuccino

but that wasnt REALISTIC MY MAN

so you settled for a job at a roller skating rink

i mean,,,,,, it wasnt bad????

you could take really aesthetically pleasing pictures there so it was a win win situation

“so,” minhyun leans against his arms while looking out at the people having fun, “when did you move to seoul?”

you look over at your very attractive coworker, “a couple weeks ago... have you always lived in seoul?”

a small smile lingers on his lips, “yeah... HEY!!! STOP FIGHTING!!!” he runs out of the booth the two of you share, leaving you all alone

but then a very cute boy walks up to you

heck seoul was just full of cuties

“ummmm..... this may sound weird but can ghosts roller skate??” he asks, scratching the back of his neck

okay seoul was full of cute but crazy cuties

“idk???? is this some sort of pickup line????”

OKAY YOU WERE LOWKEY HOPING IT WAS

“uM! NO, NOT AT ALL???? I WAS GENUINELY WONDERING??” his voice gets very high pitched

he was a scared bean OKAY LEAV E HIM ALONE

“______! who are you talking to??” minhyun runs back to the booth, little beads of sweat gathering at his hairline

it was hot in there

“the boy??” you point at him but he just shakes his head wildly

“you are the only one who can see me...”

“????” is the exact look on minhyun’s face

“what boy?? are you feeling ill? do you need to go home?” minhyun knits his eyebrows together

you shake your head slightly, “sorry, i must be a little tired ha. ha. ha”

minhyun looked sO CONFUSED POOR BABY

you look over at the boy standing in front of you and AT THAT EXACT MOMENT

air supply- the power of love (you are my lady) starts playing

AND JESUS CHRIST YOU FELT LIKE YOU WERE IN A MOVIE FROM THE 80S

woojin felt it too

it made his chest swell with excitement for some reason???

-

you sigh, plopping down on your couch after your long shift

the weird ghost boy quietly left after the song finished

but the song was FIVE WHOLE MINUTES

AND HE SPENT THAT WHOLE FIVE MINUTES LIP SINGING THE LYRICS VERY DRAMATICALLY, RUNNING AROUND THE ROLLER SKATING RINK

it was honestly so funny

it took you everything not to laugh at him

he was cute

BUT DEAD???

you were #conflicted

you stare blankly at your TV wondering what was going to happen with your life

it was fun

not really

you legit almost had a mental breakdown

BUT THEN YOU HEAR A DOOR IN YOUR APARTMENT SLAM SHUT

THAT IS WHEN THE REAL MENTAL BREAKDOWN STARTED

YOU LITERALLY JUMP UP FROM YOUR COMFY SPOT ON THE COUCH

you look around the apartment with a small kitchen knife gripped in your hand

BEFORE U COULD EVEN REACT SOMEONE WAS WALKING OUT IN FRONT OF YOU

YOU START STABBING RANDOMLY BITCHY YOU ARENT PLAYING AROUND

“hey! what the heck....” the voice whines and your head snaps up

ITS THE GHOST BOY

“ummmm what the heck are you doing here?????????????”

he smiles, revealing a cute little snaggletooth

yes sign me tf up!

“hi im woojin! you might remember me from the roller skating rink! i was sent here by god~~~” he pinches at your cheeks

by god????????

“by god??” you ask, turning around to face his body

he nods his head, “yeah, you are about to die.... just a heads up”

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmMmmMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMM

what

“what do you mean?” you follow him

he laughs slightly, “you are about to die! i’m not given any specifics but i am here to try and persuade you to live as a ghost or some shit like that”

you felt like your heart was going to explode from the nerves coursing through you

“should i live as a ghost?” you ask him, looking into his face with worried eyes

he just laughs it off, “i mean its not that bad.... you dont age and you can kind of fulfill your dreams?? oh yeah, by the way, you aren’t going to make it as a successful photographer. you are going to die way before that” he takes an apple from your kitchen, taking a large bite out of it

“so, does that mean that if i lived on longer, i would be a successful photographer?”

woojin nods his head wildly, “oh yeah! most definitely but god needed some extra help up in heaven so he picked you,,, sucks to suck am i right?”

you wanted to be mad

but honestly, you couldnt be

all you could do is let the anxiety overcome you and wait for death to come to you

which honestly wasnt any different that how it usually was

should i make part 2?? please tell me if you want one!

2017 Re-Watch: 7x05 - Go Getters

While there are TONS of interesting symbols in this episode, most have already been mentioned. I did notice a few new things though.

So first off, we have Maggie waking up and seeing flowers. Now, when this aired, TD instantly pounced on that as a Beth/Grady parallel, which it is. 

Now, after seeing the trailer for S8 and knowing there are going to be a million callbacks to Rick in S1, I can't help but relate it to that, too. But that just reinforces TD in many ways. We have a green sister waking up after a medical situation and being paralleled with Rick.

I checked the flowers in each scenario, and while they're all different, there are more purple flowers in the S8 trailer for Rick's old man coda than there were in the scene of him waking in 1x01. Make of that what you will.

The other thing I can't help but notice about Maggie is that she's wearing a dark green shirt. 

She wears it all through this episode, but she definitely wasn't wearing it in 6x16/7x01 and the next time we see her she's wearing something else again. Kinda screams Beth-proxy to me.

Another thing I noticed: one of the first images in this episode is a dart board. Obviously we noticed that the first time around and screamed "Still parallels." In my original analysis HERE I even noticed that we saw 3 darts to start. This is the third dart board we've seen and we see 3 darts beside it. No coincidence, right?

But here's what I noticed this time through...

The three darts land to the left and near the bottom of the board, right next to the letters 8 and 16. You know what I'm seeing in that 8, I’m sure. But also remember that 16 has been used, specifically as a road/highway number, to represent life and reunion with TF. So that's sticking out at me as another suggestion that S8 will be the one.

And one more thing about the dart board? While we do see 3 darts at first, Carl throws another one while he talks to Rick, and then another. So he throws a total of 5 darts. Remember The 5 Theory: 5 = number of seasons Beth appears in. 2, 3, 4, 5, and the next season she's in (assuming there is one) will be number 5. So we think 5 = S8. My point is that we have 5 darts next to the 3rd dartboard we've seen, covered in red and green, and a clear shot of the number 8. Juuuuuust saying.

Of course the biggest deal in this episode is the green Gremlin that is essentially a music box, complete with a flip-off finger on the back. Check out my analysis HERE.

And of course all the background symbols and other details we see in this episode HERE.

Here's two posts on the song that's playing when Maggie crushes the car with the tractor: X, X.

We also have the scene where Carl drives the car and squishes the walker near Enid. This scene still sticks out to me as important symbolically, but I'll admit that parts of it have me a bit mystified. First of all, Enid sees a puddle of…something on the ground. Originally, I assumed it was blood. But it’s blue. Not dark enough to be blood. I think it’s water. *coughs Oceanside* Then the walker shows up.

I'm not sure why it focused on the blood so much. Why not just show the walker jump out and startle her? It's like her seeing that is super-significant, but it doesn't give much explanation as to why.

Then Carl shows up and follow in Lori's footsteps as a responsible driver. I said before that the shack behind them looks like a version of the moonshine shack, and there's the fact that she's riding a bike, which is an important symbol.

This also MAY be the remnants of a gas station, though that much is unclear.

What I noticed this time is that the walker he hits goes up over the car exactly like Carol did when the Grady people hit her in Consumed. 

That's important because we've believed for a long time that Carol getting hit there was a parallel to Beth when the Grady people took her from Daryl. There's a good chance the EXACT same thing happened with Beth.

Then I noticed that the camera focused on the car's wheel for a minute. 

We've already seen this a lot this season, and last. In 6x15, when Carol took out the Saviors on the road, the camera focused on the wheel. We have all the times we've seen wheels off of firetrucks, and in 6x10, after taking the truck from Rick and Daryl, Jesus had to change its tire. This season, we saw random wheels around Carol in 7x02. So the fact that this focuses on the wheel tells me this may well be a Beth parallel. But it's somewhat unclear.

Then something else occurred to me. And go with me on this because this is reaching far across seasons to connect very subtle things. The camera focuses on this air tank. Twice, for several seconds each time. 

Now, IF this sequence is a Beth parallel, the air must be important. But I can't think of anything in Beth's arc that specifically has to do with air.

What this DID make me think of is back in 4x07, Dead Weight, when the Governor killed a guy in his camp. The guy turned into a walker and the Gov weighted him down under the lake. 

Now, by itself, it doesn't seem like anything but a super-disturbing image. But remember that in that same episode, we had the whole stigmata thing around the Gov, which in my opinion is one of the biggest, most compelling Beth foreshadows we have.

And of course since last season, every water reference we see screams Oceanside. Is it possible that small sequence with the governor and the walker under the lake was a foreshadow of something to do with Oceanside? A situation where someone doesn't have enough air, perhaps?

Still don't know exactly what the air points to. Just pointing out possibilities really.

But for this Carl/Enid sequence, what I'm seeing is a pool of water on the road (Oceanside, but also the second time we’ve seen this around Enid. Remember she threw the water bottle at Glenn—you know, when he was revealed to be alive after everyone thought he was dead—and it splattered on the pavement), someone hit by a car exactly like Carol was at Grady, focus on the wheel of the car, and then a possible (albeit reachy) Oceanside reference.

Oh, and another thing I don't think I noticed before: Carl runs over the bike Enid was riding. She wasn't on it, obviously, but you can see it under the car just for an instant during the sequence.

So if this is meant to be a Beth parallel, that works too. We've said for a long time that Daryl losing bike/bow/vest was synonymous with him losing Beth. In this sequence, the bike is destroyed.

If nothing else, think of it this way: we had two car-wrecking sequences in this episode: the Gremlin Maggie smashed and this one Carl crashed. One was a green music box. The other had Beth parallels and Oceanside references. Hmmm.

Another really general Carnid/Bethyl reference is simply that they were on the road together for a time, and that's when the romance really bloomed for them. Think about it, they talked about really deep, personal things, specifically their reactions to family members they'd lost (for Carnid, Glenn and Abraham; for Bethyl, those they lost at the prison). Then they roller-bladed and were able to smile and have fun together. Totally true of Bethyl too. We had the intertwining fingers hand-hold. And then we had the Carnid kiss. 

Not so much for Bethyl, but remember that AMC confirmed (before it was taken down) that the stare across the table meant Daryl had feelings for Beth and she knew it. Would we have preferred a kiss? Sure. But I still think the two things are parallels.

Okay, last thing. I mentioned this before but I'm not sure I was totally clear about it. Enid mistakenly put green balloons on Abraham's grave rather than Glenn's. Again, it's a random detail. One that didn't affect the plot at all. They could have had her put them on the right grave. Sasha still probably would have asked about them. I think we can take this as two things: 1) Glenn is definitely dead. Remember we saw the green balloons to prove he was alive in 6x07. They definitely were NOT put on his grave this time around. So he's definitely not a live (not that anyone really thought he was).

Does that mean Abraham is secretly alive? No. Remember that Abraham was a major proxy for Beth. His name was even in the dark tunnel briefly before moving out of it again. Almost every time we saw him as a proxy, we saw resurrection symbolism around him.

So 2) I think by putting the balloons on his grave rather than Glenn's, it shows that SOMEONE is still alive. Probably the person Abraham was a proxy for.

Think of it this way. The balloons obviously represented life for Glenn. They told us that in the show: Glenn used them to show Maggie he was there. So after his death, there should be no green balloons anywhere. They're a sign of life and he's dead. It would actually make more sense to use red balloons at this point. So why the green balloons? That's just muddling up the symbolism.

Unless of course, as Michael Cudlitz himself tweeted, SOMEONE is coming back from the dead.

That's all the new stuff I had for this episode. Anyone see anything else?
