The Damned - The Eighth Day

[artofmerak]

I reread the 8th day series over reading break a while back, so I decided to draw my head canons for some of the characters in high school after the series.

Jax Aubrey

He moves to go to Dorian’s school after graduating middle school to live with Riley and Evangeline, but basically alone for most days of the week.

Despite being a bit oblivious and nice to most people he meets, Dorian described him as a bit scruffy and delinquent-like. He definitely looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon bun. (He got that from Riley)

In fact, for the first few years of high school, most students are scared of him because he kept skipping classes (for some Grunsday missions) and looking like he just came out of a few fights

He learnt how to cook and bake not only because he now lives alone, but after seeing the twins’ atrocious diet and how picky Tegan was due to her sensitive nose, he decided to make good food

He is the mascot of the cooking club and the members absolutely adore him because they are the few people who actually see that he is not scary

He becomes secretly popular by the end of high school, though he doesn’t know himself.

Despite his initially mediocre grades (he shares a brain cell with Billy and Tommy), he studies hard to go to the same university Tegan is applying to. The reason why he applies for any universities is because it’s what his dad and now Riley want for him to do

One of his earrings is a gift from the round table for being a core field agent for them and they wanted a quick way to track him if any of the missions went south. It is directly linked to Tegan’s scry bowl due to their previous partnership in the Morrigan mission. (And because the round table also thinks they’re cute together.)

Dorian Ambrose

I’d like to think that he completely detaches himself from the Round Table business and opens a transport business with brownies

Tegan Donovon

She and her family move to New York and go to the same school as Jax due to their increased involvement in the Round Table

Looks like a cinnamon roll, will kill you

She has a lot of hidden pockets to steal and store things with ease

She was a bit of a weird kid in the first year of high school, but with her charisma and analysis of school society, she quickly became the school’s most popular kids

While she’s still a bit of a chaos causer, due to the stupidity of her friends and brother, she does act as the mom friend when Evangeline is not there to take that role

She’s like the dad that doesn’t want pets (brownies in this case), but pretty much adopt one and love them dearly after a week

Eats anything Jax makes (food-wise)

Get jealous easily when it comes to Jax

Hosts girl’s night with Leslie and Addie where they start seances or whatever girls do at girl’s nights

Gets super high grades now that she doesn’t focus on stealing for a living because the Round Table pays them for their services

Plans to get into computer science in university

Tommy Donovon

Definitely gets buff and become the himbo of the group

Some other characters

Leslie

Definitely gets anxiety and PTSD from the Morrigan situation (definitely needs therapy)

Gets a tattoo on her wrist (done by AJ), similarly to the family crests, but it’s actually a ward against the Morrigan

Gets close to Billy because they are the��“normal ones”

Addie

She’s going to show up one day on a normal day of the week casually while other people freak out that the 8th day curse is broken or something and some of the murderous Kin were free, but she would just go “yeah, I figured out how to break it but only for me.”

Then she goes to live with Jax because his apartment is way too big for one person

She’s skipped a few grades to be one under Jax and Tegan and is definitely the real delinquent of the school

Gets highlights in her her, to Evangeline’s dismay

She doesn’t study but gets amazing marks

Gets introduced to Avatar the last Airbender and convinces Jax and the gang to make the life action film of it using her magic and submits it as homework and convinces everyone the CGI was just really high quality

Evangeline

Just happily living away with Riley

Just a bit into arson

The mom friend

Does argue a lot with Addie but she’s proud of her at the end of the day

Billy

The flirt of the friend group

Gets a tattoo on his wrist (done by AJ) claiming that he can make his own bloodline (and who knows, maybe his kids will be able to get into the 8th day)

I don’t know, I just think that Billy and Leslie would be good together

Studies mythologies in college and goes around the world to investigate and learn more about what my be in Grunsday that they don’t know about

Is the intelligence analyst that the Round Table must consult with, as he is able to give the regular citizen perspective

Also helps regulate the relations between the normal people and the transitioners when a wild event is occurring, so the huge power imbalance between them in the books lessen

Riley

Very cowboy core (the part that said he wears cowboy boots in the book will never leave me)

His plan of sticking with Evangeline for every Grunsday works well and they have a happy life together

Core member of the Round Table

Tired all the time

Gets really weirded out when Jax is older than him

The Eighth Day- On the Eighth Day (Sunshine Pop) Released: January 1968 [Kapp Records]

[readsalot1]

I have written the first AO3 fic for a very obscure fandom that my ao3 user is based on.

Essentially, it's Evangeline and Addie angst (there may be further fic in the fandom from me, it depends on how college is going).

But if anyone here is a fan of this series pls hit my fic up (comments bring me joy; I need joy to survive college; please give me joy)

[demigods-posts]

i was sitting in my room thinking of how convenient it is that the books in the pjo series takes places before or after the school year. then i remembered that ttc happened during winter break. and that percy and annabeth likely returned for their second semester after that quest. what a tragedy.

The eighth day (from The Eighth Day by Dianne K. Salerni)? Honestly not sure if it counts as a world, since it's more like another plane of existence, but I thought I'd try submitting it anyway.

I'd say this counts; it's separate enough for me!

THE EIGHTH SENSE

aired march 29th - april 26th, 2023

[butterfly-room]

fuck you *dykes your doctor*

[absolutebl]

We've had recent disappointments with the endings to series. For me, Last Twilight, Only Friends, and 23.5 stand out. While I loved the Sign to the end, there was that unexplained Tharn getting his freedom from Chalothorn, which made the very ending not quite perfect. And while I loved Century of Love all the way through, I know some folks were disappointed at the ending.

What are some QLs that you consider to have really strong endings?

OOOO what a great question!

10 BLs With the Strongest Endings

Some BLs had better endings than the rest of the show deserved, and some were saved by the ending, while still others built up to a good ending throughout. So I suspect it kinda depends on ones definition of strong. But here are mine (you'll never guess what's at the top? but...) it's in no particular order

Seven Days - no but ACTUALLY think about it. That ending is truly phenomenal. It ties everything together, gives hope for their relationship without being cheesy AND is crazy romantic, plus it brings the narrative full circle. That ending shot, the direction, the plot, the characters, and the story ALL tied in a neat little bow. It ends by indicating that something is starting for them, something familiar it's just now they are together. Fabulous.

Light On Me - on the beach, the whole friendship group, the kiss that mirrors their couple habit of cheek squiging? Peak YA BL. It reminded me of Make it Right, and that's no bad thing... for me.

Our Dating Sim - domestic boyfriends and then the pan over to all their couple photos. So exactly them.

To My Star - yeah, the sex scene, but remember this was when we finally realized that JiWoo not only liked him all along but actually desired him all along. The tsundere character breaking open for us to see the soft underbelly. Suddenly, all of his behavior made sense in retrospect. They used the final ultra romantic sex scene as a CHARACTER REVEAL. Fucking genius.

Semantic Error - the BOYFRIENDS of it all, the harken back to both the anime and the manga (with that spank bank file), the teasing and then the breaking of the forth wall. It was multiple cheeky punches out to the audience in a tiny stinger of a scene. Not to mention it had a kind of BL "ending fairy" thing that connected to them both being idols. Perfectly executed.

Love For Love's Sake - back in beach territory but wow. I mean this show starts with an ending. And it takes a lot for me to believe in the happiness of a parable about death and self worth. They managed it with this show. But that ending was killer.

My Beautiful Man - the ending made me reassess everything about the show, the story, and the characters. The ending made me love the show. It changed my mind. It BLEW my mind. I might have kinda lost my mind. In real time.

Unknown - there were struggles with this show and not everyone enjoyed the ending but I totally flipping loved it. FINALLY. You can't tell me that "you don't even know what I dream of" line doens't live in your head rent free.

Unintentional Love Story - not the ending scene so much as the whole final episode, it's so good. It brings the story together, we get multiple big realizations, sad baby, learning that baby was abused too, defending baby, baby defending himself. RINGS!

The Eighth Sense - so much peak boyfriend after so much angst. The casual language play and teasing, the stealing of the drink, just everything, and also how very very college it all is.

10 Others I just LOVE

Be Loved In House: I Do - ultra pasteurized cheese fest

Laws of Attraction - THE CAPED WEDDING OUTFITS

About Youth - rainbow kiss cheese fest

Long Time No See - BLOOD COVERED KISSES

Restart After Come Back Home - the pan around lens flare kiss and everything it MEANS

Bad Buddy - It was so CLEVER

DNA Says Love You - the claiming and then the tussle at the cafe? Gorgeous. Adorable. No notes.

Oh! Boarding House - a family gathering while the dads are holding hands behind the couch, adorable

Where Your Eyes Linger - that damn glow up

Tinted With You - perhaps... poly?

Wow... so few Thai BL. I guess this is Korea's strength in the BL sphere? Also more Japan than I expected and outsized rep for Taiwan. (I actually could have stuck a few more from Taiwan on here but they just get SO CHEESY.)
