#the series of events that's happended

[tuliptiger]

Dark vent and bad life circumstances ahead.

The very nature of caregiving sucks so fucking bad dude. If it takes a village to raise a child it takes a village to lower a person gently into the ground too. Everyone can say caregivers are angels and they are but the NATURE of it is awful.

For people like my grandma with no one else but me and my mom and my two brothers in Washington who have not stepped up to help at 82 years old, who lost her husband of 63 years less than a year ago. Who just had 2 minor strokes a month ago and now has extreme memory issues along with balance issues.

She needs strong blood thinners, can't remember fuck all and can't safely walk anywhere. She needs 24/7 care and all the care facilities in a 50 mile radius are either break the bank expensive or horror shows. She needs help and me and my family need help taking care of her and it just isn't happening unless we give everything she's ever owned and everything she and my grandpa worked towards to medicare/Medicaid whichever fucking one it is. And it would move her out of her house which is one of the few things helping her stay normal.

Caregiving is for people who literally don't have a life or a team of 3-5 people who can switch out. I mean absolutely no life and one person can't do it alone. 24/7 care, no leaving, no walks, no moments alone nothing for one person. No boundaries and it's groundhog shit day in and day out, yes I checked the doors, no grandpa is dead, how are you feeling are you tired? Are you hurting? Where do you hurt? Yes i checked the doors no grandpa isn't coming to dinner no he isn't sleeping outside on the ground yes i checked the doors. Yes i checked the doors.

I love my grandma more than any other person i think i could other than my grandpa. I do, I am not built for this my mom isn't built for this, it was sudden and this is a huge change in both our lives and it's fucking bleak. It's sad it hurts every moment. I love her and I'll never stop loving her but by god it's fucking hard. I'm pre mourning my life already, fuck my hopes and dreams, fuck the house i was trying to build, fuck my career. Anything I've ever wanted is gone in a puff of smoke. I know that's how my mom feels and I feel a little bit of it even helping a little bit. Things have been going downhill fast.

And it just feels like i was predestined to be here. I came from this family. I came with these fucked up mental issues. I was gifted the neglect and abuse as a kid. I can't keep friends or relate with people. Im fucked up and no matter how hard i try and climb out of my situation I can't escape myself or my family or my blood born assigned-at-birth shit luck. I had 3 good years, 3 good fucking years where I lived in my car for half of that time and i tried to make friends i tried to pretend i could be normal and it always comes back to some shit in the past or me or my family.

I can't run and I can't fight it I might as well settle in or die jesus christ. And if I don't I think my mom might instead. Fuck me and fuck my families shitty ass fucking luck we were all born into.

possible yae miko slander, please bear with me

Ok, I really need to get this off my chest

I saw a comment thread on reddit about why the op doesn't ship yaesara anymore, and their reason was because of this piece of lore from the description of Kagura's Verity.

It's where Miko's reminiscing about her past, and she says 

"I knew a young and obstinate tengu warrior, and used the pretext of "training" to bluff her into asceticism in the mountains, but sensing her unruly nature, I recommended her to those blockheaded Kujou."

Implying that the reason why Sara was all alone in the mountains was because of her. Not only that, but its also saying that Miko's the reason why Sara was stuck with the Kujo Clan, you know, the reason why she doesn't know how to socialize, why she's so hard on herself, the people who rasied her to be nothing more than a soldier and an extention of the clan and the shogun. That was because of her.

And the way that it's phrased makes it seem like Yae didn't trust the Kujo Clan but she let them take care of a child anyway. Am I reading that wrong?

Like, there's no way she'd knowingly give a kid to someone she knows she's abusive right?

Even if she didn't, it's still on her for not checking and kinda ruining Sara's life and that's messed up.

Although, that could have been the only option at the time since Sara was injured and they were the closest help she could get. But then again, the reason why she was injured in the first place was because she was fighting monsters all by herself WAS BECAUSE OF MIKO. She tricked her into living alone on the mountains.

Was there a reason behind any of this, cause I can't find any motivation behind it. Like, what was the point of Sara living a life of abstinence all alone? If the reason was to train her, then that was a terrible idea because her character story doesn't mention of any one being with her. And she can't have been that old because her 5th character also says that "Sara has been training with the Shogun's army ever since she was taken in by the Tenryou Commission" and "her coming to train at an early age". I don't think leaving a child to alone to raise itself is a good idea.

Then again, I could be wrong on that since there doesn't seem to be any mention of what her life was like before being adopted by the Kujo Clan so I could be wrong on that. I could also be missing other pieces since I don't know Yae Miko well and I haven't read her story.

I don't know. Am I missing something? Because this seems like all of this happened for no reason, and this feels way to mean if it was intentional, even for Miko.

TLH -What if-: Are we family now? (Kinich x Fem!Reader)

(Wrote before 5.0, so characters are probably OOC I got this idea after the stream and had to write it!!!))

The baby Yumkasauri was following you like a little duckling. -"Hm? What is it, little one? Why are you following me?" you crouched down and patted little Saurian's head. -"Maybe they want some food?" Paimon asked from behind you. Yet before you could search for food, Kinich spoke. -"They think you're their mother." -"Huh?!" you, Paimon, Aether looked at him shocked then at baby Yumkasauri. -"Aww… Well it seems I don't have a choice and I have to take care of you from now on!" you said with a big smile, scratching your little Saurian's chin. Ajaw flew closer to Kinich chuckling: -"So does it mean you're the father?" The self-proclaimed "Almighty Dragonlord" wanted to tease his friend but what he didn't expect was the response. -"I'm ready for this responsibility... After all, I know much more about Saurians than... him." Kinich's face was expressionless when he was looking at Aether who in exchange was glaring at the Natlan boy. And this is how the competition of who will be the better father for little Yumkasauri started. Ajaw and Paimon had something to watch while you were paying only attention to cute baby Yumkasauri.

(the diffrence between -Extra- and -What if- is that Extra are things that happend in TLH series and -What if- is something that didn't happen in the end, it's for ideas I got but don't really suit the timeline, events or other stuf like in here, in original story we could see that we are going to get little Tepetlisauri and not Yumkasauri for example, but ~What if~ it was Yumkasauri? 👀 Something of this kind... I hope it's understandable >.<)

How does Adam and Lute view Charlie?

I'm still planning this AU, so what I'm saying is not certain and I am someone with really bad writing skills, but I will try to briefly explain what happened in this AU. Here's what happens. In the 1st episode when Charlie meets with Adam, the events do not develop as in the series, in general,

Adam has a serious attitude towards charlie, after charlie tells him the plans in a serious and detailed way, Adam briefly tells her that sinners can never experience redemption, that people who have made simple mistakes cannot be in hell, that people who are in hell deserve this pain and that they will continue to burn in hell unless they take back their sins. He also says that the real reason for the extermination in this AU is overpopulation and because of that,

Adam tells Charlie that if they don't do their job and the extermination ends, hell will be in a much bigger chaos than the chaos it is in now. He also tells Charlie that even if he and Lute accept the idea of redemption, it won't change anything, They can't decide what will happend, and then he says that there is nothing more to discuss and asks Charlie to leave.

(in this AU, Adam and Lute despise sinners and think Charlie's plan is illogical, but even though their attitude towards Charlie is cold and serious, they do not hate or insult her, they think it is unnecessary to insult someone who is trying to correct their father's mistake)

(In this AU, Adam and Lute are not evil, they are gray characters and their evilness depends on the point of view. Lute is an angel created for this job and he was raised to believe that what she did all her life was justice, so there is no reason for her to feel pity for the sinner. Except for his behavior in hell, Lute is really respected and loved by the other soldiers. Adam is a man who regrets the man he used to be, a man who has been changed in 10,000 years by the events with Lilith, and during this time he never pitied the sinner, because according to him, they were sent to hell by God's judgment).

Smosh Summer Games:Ships

Here is part 4 of this Damien has x reader series. This one is just half a day instead of a full day, just trying it out. Feel free to reach out if you have any ideas for games that they can play(kind of running out of ideas) or about whatever you want. This part is not very smutty, but still (18+)

Part 4: Why you fucking lying? Why you always lying? Oh my God, stop fucking lying

You woke up to find yourself nestled against Damien's chest, his arm draped comfortably around you. His fingers were playing with your hair, and his other hand was softly stroking your back. You felt safe and content, the events of last night replaying in your mind. The kiss had been incredible, but you were still unsure about what it meant.

Why does this feel so right? you wondered, trying to reconcile your feelings.

Damien stirred, his eyes fluttering open. He glanced down at you, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Morning," he whispered, his voice husky with sleep.

"Morning," you replied, feeling a blush creep up your cheeks. You could feel his heartbeat against your cheek, steady and strong, and it made your own pulse quicken.

For a moment, you both just lay there, enjoying the intimate silence. His fingers continued to tangle in your hair, sending gentle shivers down your spine. The way he touched you was so natural, so tender, and yet there was an undercurrent of something deeper, something neither of you was ready to acknowledge out loud. You knew his hands felt good, and you imagined they could make you feel even better.

Damien's hand paused in your hair, his eyes searching yours. "About last night..." he began, his voice hesitant. "That was... something."

You nodded, feeling a mix of emotions swirl within you. "Yeah, it was."

He looked down for a moment, his fingers still gently stroking your back. "But, you know, it's not like we have... feelings for each other or anything, right?"

You met his gaze, trying to read his expression. "Right, we're just... friends."

"Exactly," he said, though his tone was soft and uncertain. "Just coworkers."

You bit your lip, your heart fluttering. "Just roommates."

"It was just a..." Damien's hand paused. "thing, that happend, because of the close quarters, like really close."

"Totally," you agreed, your heart aching a bit. "It's not like it meant anything." Well that was a lie.

He swallowed, looking a little lost. "Right, right, we should... um."

You looked up at him, offering an end to his sentence. "Stop?"

He sighed, "Yeah, probably."

The silence that followed was thick with unspoken words. Damien's fingers resumed their gentle movements in your hair, lingering a bit longer than necessary.

"So, uh," he said, trying to lighten the mood, "we should probably get up before Courtney comes barging in and misinterprets... this."

You laughed, the sound easing some the tension. "Good idea. She has the worst timing, and this could look like something it isn't." You glanced dramatically towards the door and grinned. "Nothing to see here, Court! Just one of those accidental kisses. Happens all the time, right?"

Damien grinned sheepishly. "Oh, totally. Just another Tuesday. Well, a really intense, nice, Tuesday."

You let out a small laugh. "Right, they do those at Taco Bell, right?"

He nodded, still smiling. "Yup, every Friday."

You laughed again. "Well, that's kind of confusing, don't you think?"

He looked relieved, though his eyes betrayed, a flicker of something deeper. "Yeah, it's all very confusing."

Reluctantly, you both sat up, the intimate moment coming to an end. But as you moved to get out of bed, you couldn't help but steal one last glance at Damien. His eyes were still on you, filled with a mix of emotions that mirrored your own.

As you both dressed in comfortable silence, you felt a lingering sense of what could have been, maybe even could be. You knew this wasn't just because you were in close proximity, this happend because it was him, and you wanted him. Damien's eyes followed you as you moved, and you could swear you caught him glancing at your lips.

"It's not like we actually wanted to kiss," you said, trying to sound casual and not like a total liar. "We were sleeping and it just happened."

"Yeah," Damien agreed, his voice a bit strained. "Just... circumstances kind of made us kiss."

You looked at him, a playful glint in your eye. "Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's not like this is the first time I've accidentally kissed someone in bed."

He raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Oh really? How often does this happen to you?"

You grinned, pretending to count on your fingers. "Hmm, let's see... carry the one..."

He cut in with a chuckle, shaking his head. "I knew it. You're such a heartbreaker."

"Just this once," you finished, giggling.

"So just one lover?" he teased, eyes sparkling with amusement.

You rolled your eyes playfully. "Yeah, just one, lover."

You both laughed, the tension easing as you shared the joke. The words felt lighter, making it easier to transition back to your usual banter. Once dressed, you headed upstairs together, the unspoken agreement hanging in the air between you. It was clear that there was something more between you, something that neither of you was ready to fully admit yet.

As you walked towards the kitchen, you passed Arasha and Olivia's room. From inside, you heard Olivia's voice, full of its usual quirky energy.

"Arasha, do you think if we trained pigeons to deliver our mail, they could also carry small packages?" Olivia exclaimed.

Arasha's deadpan response followed. "Olivia, it's too early for pigeon mail. Let's start with something simpler, like breakfast."

You and Damien exchanged amused glances, trying to stifle your laughter as you continued down the hallway. As you entered the kitchen, you found some of the cast members scattered around, eating breakfast.

Noah was nursing a cup of coffee, looking half-asleep, while Keith was munching on a bowl of cereal, his eyes barely open but still holding the vlog camera up. Angela, on the other hand, was bouncing around the room, full of energy.

"Good morning!" Angela chirped, practically vibrating with excitement.

Keith groaned, covering his face with his free hand. "Angela, how are you this awake? It's not even human."

Angela grinned, holding up her mug. "I've had five cups of coffee already! Isn't it wonderful?"

Ian looked at her with a mixture of awe and horror. "Angela, that much coffee is dangerous. Remember last time?"

Noah smirked. "Yeah, I feel like you're one cup away from thinking COVID happened in the '90s."

Damien joined in, his tone serious. "I heard her say she thought World War II happened before World War I."

Angela pouted playfully. "Hey, shut up guys. I am super relaxed right now."

Amanda stumbled into the kitchen, her hair a mess and her eyes half-closed. "Angela, you look like you could take flight any second."

Damien leaned over to you, whispering with a grin, "Maybe we could teach Angela to deliver mail instead of the pigeons."

You giggled, nodding your head. "I actually think she'd be faster."

You went up to the counter, even though Angela already had five cups there was still plenty left for you. As you reached for a mug, you accidentally knocked over the coffee pot, spilling hot coffee all over the counter and narrowly missing your hand. "Oh, fuck."

Damien quickly stepped in, grabbing a towel to clean up the mess. "I will protect you from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry," he said with a playful smile.

You paused, looking at him incredulously. "Did you just quote Phil Collins to me?"

Damien grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Anything for you, lover."

Amanda turned around, catching the end of your exchange. "What's going on over there? Quoting Phil Collins before breakfast?"

Keith laughed, shaking his head. "Is there a time requirement for Phil Collins?

Ian and Anthony were sitting at the table, deep in conversation about some new video ideas. Ian glanced up, grinning. "Morning, you two. Sleep well?"

You felt a blush rise to your cheeks, but managed to smile. "Yeah, it was... unexpectedly great. Really comfortable."

Damien nodded, his eyes locked on yours. "Yeah, surprisingly the best night's sleep I've had in a while. Felt... special."

You bit your lip, feeling a mix of emotions. "Yeah, it was... not even a little bit wierd."

Damien swallowed, his gaze unwavering. "It was great, and I know I shouldn't but all I can think about is wanting to do it again."

You smiled, feeling the same pull. "I feel sleepy already."

Noah raised an eyebrow, exchanging a look with Keith. "Uh, okay. That's... interesting. I feel like the beds are kind of uncomfortable, no?"

Keith nodded slowly. "I don't get it, you slept great but you don't want to do it again, why?

Damien's eyes softened, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Maybe we should just keep sleeping.. in a way that makes us feel comfortble?"

You nodded, feeling a strange mix of hope and fear.

The room fell silent, everyone watching the exchange with varying degrees of confusion and curiosity.

Anthony smirked, leaning back in his chair. "You know, Ian, you really cast some interesting characters after I left."

Just then Arasha and Olivia walked into the room, "I think it's a great idea, I mean there's just not many options in the dating world for pigeons at the moment"

Arasha shrugged, "yeah I guess, but does the app really need to be called 'EggMyNest'?"

Ian chuckled, pointing at Olivia. "She was here before you left, man. You can't blame that one on me."

Olivia beamed, clearly proud of her idea. "Oh oh, What about 'Beak me'?"

Amanda chimed in with a playful shout, "BEAK BEAK, Bird coming through!" The room erupted into laughter, and even Anthony couldn't suppress a chuckle.

Ian, catching his breath from laughing, turned to Anthony with a grin. "Okay, that one's on me, man."

As the laughter died down, everyone began to settle into their breakfast routines. The kitchen buzzed with the sounds of clinking dishes and light-hearted banter. Damien and you found seats at the table, and you couldn't help but glance at him occasionally, the memory of last night still fresh in your mind. He caught your eye and gave a small, reassuring smile.

Angela continued to buzz around, her energy levels still through the roof. "So, what's the plan for today?"

Anthony, spoke up. "Well we're doing a Dame later and.. oh, Damien and y/n, you'll join Keith and Noah soon for 'Put It In My Mouth.'"

You looked at Damien, puzzled. "What exactly is 'Put It In My Mouth'?"

Keith, who was munching on his breakfast, chimed in. "It's a food show. Noah tries out all kinds of weird random foods."

You raised an eyebrow, still unsure. "Okay, but the title sounds... well, a bit suggestive. Who's putting what into whose mouth?"

Noah, trying to suppress his laughter, added, "Trust me, the show is exactly as it sounds. It's all about the food, you'll see."

Damien's eyes widened slightly, "and how much time do we have before?"

You laughed nervously, "you thinking a quick nap?"

Noah looked at his watch, "no, we'll go in about ten minutes."

With a mix of anticipation and curiosity, you and Damien quickly finished your breakfast, and got up out of your seats.

You looked at the others, "We..uh.. I spilled earlier, I need to change."

Damien grabbed your shoulders, "I.. I will help"

Noah yelled after you, "be back in time."

Amanda chimed in, "they will be there, don't you cry"

Keith leaned over to look at Noahs watch, "Okay, so now it's late enough to quote Phil Collins?"

Olivia looked up from her bowl of cerial, "What if the pigeons also learn how to do household chores like in 'Cinderella'?"

Arasha squinted, "Okay does anyone here have a ball gag? if so, 'Put it in her mouth'"

After the playful banter and laughter in the kitchen, you and Damien found a quiet spot on the way to you room, where you both had a moment to yourselves.

You looked at Damien , trying to find the right words. "So, just to make things clear..."

He met your eyes. "That kiss was amazing, and I want to do more. It's not just about what happened last night. I want to be close to you, in every way."

Your voice was steady but with a hint of nervousness. "I'm attracted to you. It's not just because you're a human.. with a body." You smiled, " I'm.. sexually attracted.. to you."

Damien's expression softened as he stepped a bit closer. "Now that I know you're okay with me kissing you, touching you... I can't believe I have to go upstairs and not do that."

As you moved into the room to change, Damien's eyes followed you with an appreciative gaze as you pulled you top over your head. He seemed mesmerized, as though seeing you in a new light. "You've seen me like this many times before," you said, glancing back at him with a teasing smile.

Damien's eyes lingered on your exposed skin, his admiration palpable. "Yeah, I know. But it's different now. I usually try to be respectful and not stare, but now that I can... wow."

You felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as you finished changing. Damien edged closer, his hand brushing against your arm, making you shiver. "This is a bit overwhelming, isn't it?" you asked softly.

He nodded, his gaze locked on yours. "It is. But in a really good way."

The tension between you was palpable. Damien's hand rested lightly on your back, and you leaned into his touch. "This is pretty intense for.. friends," you said, your voice low.

Damien chuckled. "Yeah, just friends."

You grinned, your nerves mixing with excitement. "Exactly. But... we need to head out."

He sighed, clearly reluctant. "I know. But I'm already thinking about when we can pick this up." He held you tight and you tried to pull away.

You looked at him, "Damien! Put it in my mouth!"

He raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Isn't it a bit soon for that?"

You laughed, shaking your head. "I meant the food show, you dork."

Just before you both left, you looked at him with a mischievous glint in your eye. "Damien, I need to ask you something.

You leaned in closer, your voice dropping to a playful whisper. "How long has Courtney been standing at the door?"

Damien's eyes widened as he spun around, searching for any sign of Courtney. When he turned back to you, he saw the glint of mischief in your eyes. He let out a relieved laugh. "You're fucking with me, aren't you?"

You laughed, nodding. "Gotcha."

Damien grinned, shaking his head. "Do you usually fuck with your friends like that?"

You leaned in closer, a playful grin on your lips. "No, I usually don't fuck my friends at all."

He grinned back. "So, I'm special?"

You raised an eyebrow. "Maybe."

Damien laughed, shaking his head in disbelief. "Wow, just wow"

You both hurried out of the room, the playful banter and attraction still hanging in the air. As you made your way upstairs, you knew things between you and Damien were shifting.

The ship's kitchen had been transformed into a  set for the long-awaited return of 'Put It In My Mouth', and the atmosphere was buzzing with energy.

Noah, sporting his classic enthusiasm, addressed the camera. "Welcome back to 'Put It In My Mouth'! It's been ages since we've done this, and today we're diving into some oceanic delights. Let's meet our guests!"

Keith, who had previously been a guest on the show, was practically vibrating with excitement. He couldn't contain his enthusiasm as he hugged Noah when he arrived. "Dude, I'm so pumped! This is going to be amazing. I've missed this show!"

Noah grinned, clearly pleased to have Keith back. "Glad to have you here, Keith. You ready for some seafood surprises?"

Keith bounced on his heels. "Absolutely! Just hit me with whatever you've got. I'm ready!"

Noah grinned widely. "And we also have another pair that you guys ship: Welcome to the show, Damien and y/n!"

Damien chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, is that so? I didn't realize people were onboard."

You laughed, nudging Damien playfully. "Looks like we're making waves before we even start. Thanks for the warm welcome, Noah."

Keith, still buzzing with excitement, added, "Glad to have you both here! Hope you're ready for some seriously weird food."

You grinned at Keith. "Absolutely. I think we're ready for just about anything."

Noah clapped his hands. "Great to hear! Let's get this show on the road. Food girl, bring in the food."

Courtney, in her role as Food Girl, brought out the first dish: a plate of slimy sea cucumbers. You and Damien exchanged amused looks as Noah inspected the dish.

Damien, eyeing the sea cucumbers, said, "I'm not sure about this. I'm more of a shellfish guy."

You quirked an eyebrow. "Don't say that, you're very caring, Damien. I don't think you're a shellfish guy at all."

Damien smirked. "I meant, I love shellfish."

You shot back, "Oh, so you're a shellfish lover?"

He grinned. "Yeah, that's what I meant."

You winked. "Well, then it's only fair I call you Mr. Shellfish."

Damien leaned closer, "and what seafood  do you like?"

You chuckled, "shrimp?"

Damien nodded, joining in on the fun. "Okay, Lady Shrimp"

Keith, who had been watching the exchange with a grin, chimed in. "Looks like we've got a new dynamic duo here."

Noah clapped his hands. "Alright, let's dig in! Remember, the shame bucket is here if needed, but hopefully, we won't have to use it."

Damien wrinkled his nose at the sight. "Is it just me, or does this look like something you'd find in a sci-fi movie?"

You poked at the sea cucumber with your fork, trying to get a better look. "Seriously. I thought cucumbers were supposed to be refreshing, not... whatever this is."

Noah took a bold bite, his expression turning from curious to mildly horrified. "I'm gonna eat it," he announced bravely, though his face suggested otherwise. 

Keith followed suit, his enthusiasm slightly dampened. "Oh man, I forgot how bad this part can be," he said between chews. "I was so excited to be back on the show, but this sucks so much."

Damien took a tentative bite, chewing slowly and grimacing. "Wow, this texture is like chewing on a soggy sponge."

You struggled to swallow, trying not to grimace. "It's like eating the ocean floor. I can't decide if I'm more grossed out or just confused."

Keith managed a weak smile as he chewed. "Come on Noah, that's my boy, Noah! You've got this!"

Noah looked at Keith with a grin. "Alright, Keith, I'm amping it up. Let's see if we can handle this together!" He held up the seacucumber. "Let's do it lady and the tramp style"

Keith grabbed the other side of the seacucumber. "I'm just happy to be on your show, but I could use some encouragement right now."

You and Damien cheered them on and laughed as the eventually went for the shame bucket.

Keith's face twisted in a way that was both pained and joyful. "Man, this is rough, but I wouldn't trade this moment for anything. Seriously, 'Put It In My Mouth' is where it's at."

Noah gave his rating with a dramatic flair. "I'm rating this a 6 on the Noah Grossman scale. It's not exactly a delicacy."

You glanced at Damien, who was making a valiant effort to keep a straight face. "How's it going, Mr. Shellfish?"

Damien, chewing through his discomfort, replied, "It's definitely an experience. Lady Shrimp, how's your taste adventure?"

You laughed through your grimace. "I'm surviving."

Courtney brought out another dish with a flourish, a particularly dubious looking smile on her face. "So, at this point, this is basically just, like a double date, right?"

Everyone burst into laughter, the shared discomfort turning into camaraderie. The kitchen was alive with laughter and and a hint of fish in the air. Even though the foods were challenging, the camaraderie  made it all worthwhile. The show's return was a success, and the dynamic between you, Damien, and the others made for a memorable and entertaining episode.

After the eventful "Put It In My Mouth" episode, you and Damien found a cozy spot in the lounge to relax. The room was a quiet refuge from the chaos of the kitchen, with soft cushions and warm lighting creating a comfortable atmosphere. Damien leaned back on the couch, stretching his arms with a contented sigh.

"I'm really enjoying this," he said, glancing over at you with a smile. "It's nice to just hang out for a bit."

You smiled back, feeling a warm glow from his presence. "Yeah, it's been a great day so far."

Damien gently squeezed your hand before letting go, " I'm gonna grab a drink to cleanse my palate, want anything?"

You smiled at him, "a water, maybe?"

He smiled back, "got it."

As he walked away, you felt a slight pang of longing but still enjoyed the peaceful moment.

Courtney strolled into the lounge, her gaze immediately settling on you. She seemed to have a twinkle of mischief in her eye. "So, Damien and you didn't join the morning vlog. Everything okay?"

You looked up, feeling a slight flush. "Oh, we were up a bit earlier than usual. Just had a nice, quiet start to the day."

Courtney's eyes twinkled with curiosity. "Up early. huh?So, how'd you sleep?"

Ian, lounging nearby, chuckled and added, "Trust me, don't ask her that.

Courtney gave him an incredulous look but turned back to you. "Why not? I'm just curious."

You tried to keep your composure, but you could feel your cheeks heating up. "It was... well, let's just say it was a really good night."

Courtney's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "I noticed you and Damien have been hitting the hay pretty early the last few nights."

You felt your cheeks flush more. "We slept fine, thanks."

Courtney leaned in, her tone growing more inquisitive. "Just fine? I remember walking in and finding Damien in your bed the other morning, and you two have been calling each other 'lover'. Plus, Damien was practically glowing with annoyance when Trevor was around you during the Pain Pong game."

You looked away, feeling a bit cornered. "It's just an inside joke. And Damien was just being protective."

Courtney raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Oh, come on. And let's not forget how you two were extra cozy during dinner. I mean, it's obvious there's some chemistry."

You fidgeted, struggling to maintain your composure. "Okay, so we've been spending a lot of time together. But that doesn't mean.."

Courtney cut you off with a grin. "I see the way he looks at you. Come on, y/n. Just spill it."

You sighed, realizing you couldn't easily deflect her curiosity. "Fine. We.. kissed last night. Happy now?"

Courtney's eyes widened with excitement. "Are you kidding me? That's amazing! So, how are you feeling about it?"

You shrugged, feeling a bit uncertain. "It was nice, but... I don't think he likes me like that."

Courtney shook her head in disbelief. "You are such a liar? Look at him. He's totally into you."

You glanced over at Damien, who was engaged in conversation but occasionally casting glances in your direction. His gaze was warm and affectionate, and you couldn't deny the chemistry between you. Still, you hesitated.

Courtney nudged you with a knowing smile. "Oh, he's definitely down bad for his coworker. Just look at him."

You couldn't help but smile at the possibillity of her words being true. "I guess there are some signs."

Courtney beamed, clearly satisfied with the revelation. "Exactly! You know, It would almost be selfish to not let him know how you feel."

You smiled as you got up out of your chair, "I'm more of a shrimp girl."

As you both joined Damien and the others, you felt a renewed sense of excitement about where things might lead. The playful banter and flirtatious glances between you and Damien continued, making it clear that something special was blossoming between you. The lounge buzzed with the anticipation of the upcoming game, and as you and Damien prepared to dive into the next activity, you knew that, at the very least, he wanted to kiss you again.

Okey, Detectiva Luka on the case!

I'll be cracking this plot open in order on how things will go so, sit down and relax, grab a coffee and something to munch.

This post will briefly attached things from this post by @syrena-del-mar alongside my post here on the movies,as well as the ones about Tan and Phee being the killers and Tan using poison on the guys, as well as my theory of why I think each mask is different and I think I know whom is behind each one (thanks again to @blmpff for the screenshots). All these theories have being a collective effort between the multiple minds in the bl/gl server so also a big thanks to them for being as unhinged about these as me djslkajdlkjass with that being said...

Let's jump right in, shall we?

So yesterday we discovered that the movie posters in Non's room are fake mock-ups of real life horror movies, right? and there's a fourth poster that can be found in Jin's room in the trailer that we haven't seeing yet in the series, but I'm going to talk about it as well. They go in these order:

Rivarium, Whisper and La Madre

and Jin's:

Devil

Imagine Jin's is where the bookshelf is in Non's and we get this order:

Rivarium -> Whisper -> Devil -> La Madre

or may I say:

Vivarium, 2019 -> The Whisper, 2007 -> Devil, 2012 -> Mamá, 2012

the order they are in is really important because it actually shows us how the plot is moving. The movie posters give away the plot. Let's go in order:

What is important to us from Vivarium (2019) are two things: the looping element of its plot (not a timeloop) and the brood parasitism example they show at the beginning of the film and feeds into with the plot later on with the loop element.

Vivarium shows as at the beginning the brood parasitism of cuckoos, birds that don't nest their eggs and instead, sneak them into other birds' nest for them to raise them. The gang, quote "Non's Friends" are the cuckoo, leaching out of a bird to raise their babies. Or, in their case, draining Non (the bird) out of his ideas and kindness (the nest) for their own good. The loop element comes into these with two new cuckoos, Tan and Phee, infiltrating the group (the birds), but instead of using it to rip the benefits (getting their eggs in the nest), their true intention here is being full parasites. They are a virus contaminating the body that is the friend group. They are "The Boy", ready to kill.

And how do they do this? Here is where The Whisper (2007) comes into play. David as a concept, to be more specific, comes into play.

David is an eight-year-old boy that is not really what it seems. He's the son of a wealthy woman, so kidnapping him should be easy, but this provokes many deaths in the movie amongs his captors. Why? 'cause David, in reality, is a demon. A demon that can "suggest" and "influence" the people around him to do whatever he wants. Only Max survives and is able to kill David, but not after the later has taken with him the lifes of everyone else without moving a finger. Phee and Tan haven't moved a single finger against the group (yet), but "the killer" has being doing it ever so slightly. And even like this, the only death among the boys that has happend wasn't even by the hands of "the killer". No, Por dies because Top kills him. "The Killer" (Phee and Tan) are pitting the boys against one another without them even knowing. The only thing they have done truly is poison them (going again with the loop thing as the gang drugged Non in the past) so they allucinate. And one specific allucination brings me to the next movie:

@syrena-del-mar gave a really good synopsis:

Devil (2010) revolves around five strangers that become trapped in an elevator. As they struggle to escape, it becomes apparent that one among them is the Devil incarnated, manipulating events and tormenting the others with a series of disturbing manifestations. Meanwhile, outside the elevator, a detective investigates the strange occurrences, gradually piecing together the connection between the trapped individuals and the sinister presence haunting the building. As the situation inside the elevator becomes increasingly dire, the characters are forced to confront their darkest secrets and sins, each suspecting the others of being the Devil in disguise. Once they deny their sins, the devil is able to claim their soul. The Devil is unable to claim the last survivor's soul, because these one confesses and repents for having killed a family in a car accident and fleeing the scene. "

Y'all can see why Jin is the one to own this poster, right? But I think there's two reasons for this:

the first one is the obvious, which is that Jin, amongs all the boys, is the one that probably regrets the treatment towards Non the most. He really cared about him, and he harmed him as badly as the other did. But he is repenting, and he might have already done half of the work no so long after the release of the video...

Because the second reason Jin has these poster is the fact that he shares the same sin as Tony, the survivor, in Devil: a hit and run. In Jin's case, Keng's hit and run.

Jin's only allucination speaks for itself, so I don't think I need to add anything else to this point.

but Devil also begins with a bible verse:

"Be sober, be vigilant: Because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

The devil, the lion here, are Tan and Phee... or in Jin's case, Phee specifically. Both boys are playing the long game dragging these revenge for three long years, but Phee has make it upon himself to get the closest to Jin. And I think is because he knows, he knows Jin was involved with what happen to Non, he knows about the video, and he wants Jin to pay as well. But avenging Non by killing Keng might be what could keep Jin alive at the end... or at least to not be killed by the hands of Phee and Tan.

Talking about killing! A little side track to point out that I definetly believe that White will survive yes or yes and as I said this morning, I need him to be like the main character in the book Final Girls by Riley Sager and kill Tee himself. Period.

getting back on track, LET'S BEGIN WITH @blmpff BLORBO, THIS SILLY GUY, or well, these three silly guys:

But there's four! - it looks like we have four masks but upon closer inspection I think is just three. Not only the eyes are different but also the face structure of each changes a litte bit and the last two here look identical, so I just think is a matter of actual production of the series and them having that same mask duplicated but because it has more "dripping blood" on the eyes, it doesn't look the same in both. In any way, I'm about to tell you whom is whom.

Our first Killer, "Clear Sight", is Tan.

Tan, in this theory, is New, Non's older brother.

So yes, I know, this whole plan is a revenge for what happend to his little brother, so you'll think that he would be a little bit more "passion" driven when it comes to revenge, but taking in account the other two killers... well, makes sense that the older one is the one being more focus and calculating about what they do. A "Clear Sight" amongs them. He's also the one that has poisoned the friend group, as I explain here. So yeah, cold blooded and with a plan in mind.

Which he has really well tight up with the second Killer, "Bloody Tears", since they flawlessly were able to fool us all when CS stole the motorbike from Tee but then BT pulled up with it.

So, whom is "Bloody Tears"? Say it with me class: is Phee. Yes.

His eyes are bloodshot and he's crying blood because hiswhole purpose with all of this is to avenge Non. He feels guilty over his last words to Non:

"You want me to forgive you? Just get lost and die."

He's the one being more driven by passion, by rage, by wrath. These absolute fuckers destroyed the Non he loved so dearly and he will destroy them.

So if "Clear Sight" is Tan, and "Bloody Tears" is Phee... Then whom is "Fresh Blood", our third Killer?

For the sake of this these "timeline" theory, we will go with the idea that "Fresh Blood", the masked killer with the fresh blood on its eyes and the cruch, is Non.

The obvious reason: the crutch. FB is the only one holding it, both when he appears in front of Top and when he's in the woods.

And we saw what Non was capable of three years ago when he finally snapped in front of the others, so I don't need to explain why the blood of his eyes is till fresh. He's a goner, he's fully commited to the bit, he will take all this fuckers to hell with him... including Jin.

Because Phee could spare Jin, but Non will not. And so we are down to four people by the end of these tale: White, Tan, Phee and Non.

Here is where the last movie comes into play: Mamá (2012)

Mamá is about two sisters, Victoria (f8) and Lily (f6), whom were living as feral children for five years in a remote cabin in the woods after their parents' death. They are put under the care of their uncle Lucas and his girlfriend Annabel, but when the two girls start to build a bond with Annabel, what kept them alive in the woods, Mamá, wants to take them back with her. And by the end, she almost does. On a cliff, both sisters make a choice: Victoria chooses Lucas and Annabel, and starts a new life with them; but Lily, whom loves Mamá dearly, decides to stay with her. Mamá after this, jumps off the cliff with Lily on her arms, activily killing her and turning them both into moths.

Tan is Victoria, Phee is Lily and Non is Mamá.

Phee, like Lily with Mamá, will choose Non. After all the blood they have spilled, is better to get lost in the woods than to comfront the police, honestly. They can just get lost and enjoy nature like they did when they used to visit the lake. They will just count Phee as one of the many victims these cabin has taken.

And so is Tan because he, like Victoria, will choose to live his life. But he was never Tan. He's New, and he can just let Tan die at these cabin and go back overseas as himself, leaving all of these behind...

And leaving only White as our final boy.

so yeah, those are my theories and how I think the series is going to play out, this post has taken me 3h and a half to right down, I can't feel my brain any longer dljsaldjalkjsd

[poolofunidentifiedfluid]

the series of events that happend to me when i saw this photo was like getting shot repeatedly

buck and eddie holding hands!! *BANG*

[briefpeachdinosaur]

Mtp the remains ending was beautiful

I'm really exited for part 2 of the story

It makes me so emotional that these 2 had another child after all the suffering and I liked how it is Shows and proved that Williams Actions weren't just spilling blood but also acually being abel to help the people who he helped.

I also liked how they insisted that they have to make another family picture with everbody in it this time.

Plus I'm sooo happy for my girl Helena I love her so much !!! And that she and her father are back togehter made me so happy!!!! But I wonder if she will show up again just like the other Helena.

I loved remains alot but I thought it was way to short but it makes sense, it was only meant to be a small series on a few events that happend but were Importend thats why I'm really exited for part 2 of mtp.

I hope we get to see more of the characters themselfs as individualls and there feelings, views and more specially the ones that didn't had alot of screentime or we don't know alot about.

Maybe I should clarify in regards to the post about Helarans death compared to Tien and Gavilars, I'm mainly referring to how the narrative treats it. Not specifically how Shallan is grieving

Because the symmetry of having all of your 3 main protagonists each have a brother that dies right before the start of the series in order to set of the events of the plot, must almost be intentional.

And for both Kaladin and Dalinar these deaths shape them as people and are at the core of their arcs.

For Kaladin his need to protect Tien is what puts him to the military and his sugsequent death furthers his need to protects those around, his fear of losing them and is intregral to his relationship with bridge 4.

For Dalinar, Gavilars death is probabaly the best thing that could've happend to him. It's the moment that changes the course of his life. His guilt is central to his character for the first two books. The event itself is what finally pushed him to change, to get sober, repair his relationship with his children and become a better man.

Helaran in contrast is barely a footnote in Shallans story, and not just in the way that can be explained away by her repressing trauma. The deaths of her mother, father and spren are all there impacting her story, yet when looking for the sake of symmetry her brother is missing. His death is in contrast a much bigger event for Kaladins story, being what led to him to become a slave and loose his faith in lighteyes.

And yeah most likely it's just because there are a lot of deaths and characters to keep track of already and not enough time. I just wonder if his affiliation with the sons of honor will come back in relevance or if he'll just be forgotten.

All FNAF drama is like this:

\> Game dev, "The Slipster" creates a Fnaf fan game "Those 8 Nights at Zopster's Slop Factory."

\> The Slipster gains massive popularity due to their meme-ish and charming personality

\>YouTuber "Slamstest Yah!" covers Zopster's, criticizing gameplay and story while praising modeling and atmosphere

\> Both individuals have suspiciously furry rantsonas

\> Fans of Slamstest yah! go to Slipster's Twitter and threaten to kill and eats Slipster and their family

\> The Slipster @ s Slamstest yah! about the harassment and death threats Slamstest yah! gave them

\> Slamstest Yah! says they did nothing and accuses Slipster of punching down (Slipster has fewer bunger points than Slamstest Yah! but okay??)

\>Meanwhile a discord group of random Fnaf fan creators forms, calling themselves "The Gaggle" with the sole purpose of fucking over Slipster because he was pretty rude and selfish in their past fan game projects.

\> "The Gaggle" leaks all of Zopster's Slop Factory's assets and developer notes, as well as private DMs where Slipster called "B1LLR0xy" creator of FnaF remake "FNAF **-1/12**.", a "small unlovable glop with a trash game" and "ngl I think gungster#37 was right" ("gungster#37" is a controversial figure in the Fnaf community)

\> Slamstest yah! has no clue any of this happend

\>The Slipster starts a 15-page twit longer accusing Slamstest yah! of conspiring against him with "The Gaggle" to take him down.

\>5 minutes later, Slipster starts a live stream on his YT channel "slipZlop LIVE"

\>has a panic attack and begins crying live on stream, revealing a lot of extremely personal trauma to his audience of Slipster and Yah! stans, who all come to eat up the drama.

\>Slamstest Yah! DMs Slipster on stream and says he didn't orchestrate any of this.

\>Slipster goes on a tirade on Slamstest yah! and claims he should be sent to the deepest pit of the inferno, never to breathe anything but ash and fire

\> While this is happening famous offical Fnaf artist "Vensty Yummybunsty" comments "Gungster #37 was a mixed figure tbh" on the Fnaf sub,

\> Vensty gets backlash and apologizes, only for some random Redditor to go into their [timzbus.art](https://timbus.art/) page and it turns out they made infant cannibalism art and a Fnaf fanfic where William Afton eats 15 children.

\> Scott Cawthon materializes out of the black void between voids, grabs Vensty by the neck, and dematerializes with her, leaving swathes of black particle-like mist dispatching outwards in the air where the two figures were once was placed.

\> The Slipster starts a new stream where he comments on the dematerialization of Vensty and claims she was wrongfully dematerialized from our realm.

\>The 800+ FNAF content farms who have embedded themselves in the viscose flesh of discourse, all began to amalgamate videos describing word for word the entire cascading series of events that lead to this spiral point of pain and distress.

\>all 800+ content farms have suspiciously furry rantsonas and are 97% British

\> Slamstest Yah! continues making his Fnaf content and starts a VHS analog horror series called, "The Glerbs Reports"

\> Slamstest Yah! was later revealed to have eaten 15 children 2 years ago, jolting the twitching mess of the YouTube content farms to exsanguinate Slamstest Yah! pulling the veins rich in blood apart from the form, like pulling the thread out of a rigid carpet, weaving them out with so careful yearning, yet with such parched predation, as to leave dark hollow cavities where his circulatory system was once grown, a body now filled with devoided holes, and hollow smooth tunnels instead of veins that fit so snug and warm. All now pulled out and coagulating on the knees of which the creator of this work sucks violently at the wet plastic-like streamers. The corpse placed facing up, beamed by the sun, showing deep dots of drilled flesh. The animals sit and whip more ribbons to their tongues, cramming their mouths with veins palmed up and compressed to fit in between their cocked jaws, day after day they all sit kneed, pulling and balling the wrinkled tubes in their hands, to lastly entomb this dragging crumpled mess into the very back of their head by the gate of their teeth.

\> And when all veins gone, they bend forward their pale shapes, and lumber on.

\> Zopster's Slop Factory is still being developed, though The Glerbs Reports are still postponed

Good evening you have the rumors concerning the new avatar series? what do you think?

Good evening (I say as i type this at 13 o clock)

I have heard the rumours and I've read the article I think you're referring to.

I know this has caused a bit of a mixed reaction from the fandom, some folks being excited and curious, while some are more sceptical, if not outright upset with the direction being taken. Personally, I try to never write off a piece of media until I've personally experienced it. So write me down as neutral or cautiously welcoming of the new Avatar.

The article gives us a few hints to the future Avatar. She is supposedly a young homeless girl with an amputated leg. Apparently, her animal companion is supposed to be a large catlike creature, so I have big hopes for the beeeg kitty. I'm glad Avatar seems to be sticking to their guns of representing disabled people, Toph, Teo and Ming-Hua being a very enjoyable change from disabled characters usually being excluded from combat and action scenes in most shows like this.

The character also supposedly has a twin sister, who is powerful in her own right, and apparently trained by the White Lotus. It will be interesting to see this dynamic played out.

Earthbending twins fans stay winning. 🥳 Also if there is no mention of the Beifong twins I'll riot.

[Still not over the fact that atla had Poi and Ping and tlok had... Wei and Wing. The creativity is absolutely astounding.]

The concept of the Four Nations no longer existing is probably one of the biggest surprises to me, as they were always such an intergral part of the show. Apparently some near apocalyptic event had happend, Korra being forced to stop it and restructure the Four Nations into seven "havens". It's possible that this event is what killed Korra, however that's just a theory. A game theory as the kids say.

It will be interesting to see a restructured world, and it will allow us to get to relive the thrill of discovering a new fictional realm. But it also feels a bit bittersweet, since it may feel as if everything all our favourite characters previously worked towards is null and void.

I'm not terribly excited about the likely futuristic sci-fi enviornment the show will probably be set in. It was bound to happen, and I'm sure it will appeal to some folks. I personally rarely enjoy the science fiction genre, as I often find it boring and generic. There are exceptions, like Signalis or Katedra, however these pieces of media have more of an existential horror-y vibe that I don't think would be plausible in the Avatar franchise.

And I worry that thw Avatar franchise will slip into a 'generic sci fi' aesthetic and lose what made it unique as it strays further from the cultural influences that made it so unique and beloved. I hope that they'll be able to maintain what I love about the series. As Netflix's 'Over the Moon' managed to blend sci fi and chinese influences, I hope the next Avatar series is able to blend the cultures they drive inspiration from.

Apparently the designs for the new Avatar and one of her friends have been leaked, here. Though I'm not sure if this is legit, I'm a bit dissapointed. The new Avatar looks adorable, but their outfits look so generic. Like they could be background Voltron characters and I would not bat an eye.

Atla and Tlok had very clear influences with the patterning and cut of their clothings. Tlok merged these influences with early 20th century fashion, but still maintained more traditional clothing for characters not from Republic City.

While the potential new designs bear some hallmarks of the other shows' character design options, such as baggier trousers and longer designs for upper body clothing, they lack most of what made avatar clothing styles unique.

It is a shame if these are the real designs, because other than theit clothing, the character themselves look fine. The potential new Avatar, Pavi looks fucking adorable and looks to be South Asian, which is about time, since the whole concept of the Avatar comes from those cultures. And I will defend her from the racist, misogynists and abelists that may potentially argue that the show about a world entirely made of poc is going woke.

I do hope the best for the new show, despite my reservations, and hope the best for the new Avatar and that she doesn't get too much hate for coming after Aang and Korra. I hope the creators will take notes from what they did wrong in tlok, as well as have more creative freedom due to not being so much under Nickelodeon's control.

I think it's also important to remind everyone that just because we're getting the next Avatar, doesn't mean we won't get to see Korra or the Krew again. Atla comics were releasing while tlok was happening and are still in works at the moment. So it's very possible that we will still get to see Korra's adventures in comics and even potential movies. As the adult Gaang movie is going to probably be in thetres next year, so we may very well get Korra movies too.

Though I'd like to remind everyone that adult Aang's VA in the upcoming movie is Eric Nam, who has expressed pro Israel sentiments.

Having this man play Aang, a genocide survivor is a slap in the face to both the character, his fans and actual victims of genocide, so I will not speak about this movie until he is recast.

My Masterlist Series Masterlist

It was all over the news. Soldier Boy blows up a restaurant while dining with his girlfriend. Questions were askd if he did it on purpose. If he thought that the woman by his side was starting to become a risk. It was obvious to everyone by now that he didn't want to be caught. He appeared in public, yeah, but noone seemed to be able to grasp him. He vanished out of everyones eyes within seconds. That Mallory and her men played a big part in that was unknown to them of course.

While he watched the scenes unfold on tv over and over again, he could still hear Y/N voice calling out for him. He still saw her Y/E/C eyes full with worry and shock. Ben had tried to keep his focus on her, to stay present and not lose control. But the damn song got louder and louder and he couldn't hold it back. In one moment Y/N was there right beside him, her small hand on his arm, demanding his attention and in the next second he woke up on the floor. Laying on his back in the middle of broken furniture and debris.

His mind replayed their dinner, while he tried to get up again. After a not so happy start, because of his stupid song, he didn't want to let her stew in her insecruritys just because he couldn't open his mouth. It's not like he didn't get what Y/N was trying to do. That she tried to make him open up to her. He listened to everything she said, but it was not his thing to talk about himself and his fucked up life. Let alone his fucked up mind.

But still he tried. It was not much he started to talk about but Y/N seemed to absorb every word he said like a sponge. Her surprised gaze and that small smile on her plush lips did things to his old and rusty heart and he began to wish he would've started talking to her sooner.

But in all this tragedy and danger that the whole situation had brought with, it also came with some surprises. Some of the kind that you can still use to your own advantage. It definitly helped him more that he thought would be possible. A mocking sigh disturbed his thoughts and brought his attention back into these four walls.

"What?" he asked grumpingly.

M.M. just shook his head. "Weren't you the one who said that you would protect her? Keep her safe?"

"And that I did, until..."

"Yeah, you did a really good job with that, motherfucker." Marvin cut him off and stood up.

"Nothing would've fucking happened when you all would do your job right!" Ben turned fully to the man next to him and started to ball his fists.

"Oh now it's our fault!" Marvin took a few steps forward.

"Yeah, it fucking is! If the fridgid cunt Mallory would be really on top of this game as she claims to be this would've never happend."

"You stupid motherfucker! You blew up that building!"

"Because none of you prevented Homelander from attacking me from behind!" Ben shouted and was about to go over to him.

But a small whimper made him stop in his tracks. He looked to the couch from where the sound was heared. Marvin did the same. Ben's face softened and he opend up his fists again. Another whimper came from Y/N's weak body that was buried under three blankets to keep her warm.

Annie had no other choice but to jump with her into the Hudson River to safe her from the explotion. The cold of the late november water had pushed all the air out of Y/N's lungs. The shock of the bitter cold water had hit her so strong, that she tried to breath in, but instead she swallowed a lot of water. Annie kept a good grip on her, but Y/N had panicked, before she lost concious.

Both women been in the water for several minutes, but the blonde supe never let go of her friend. Some of Mallory's men eventually got them out of the water. But not like Annie, who didn't even had a scratch, Y/N stayed unconcious. She was hypothermic and her lips were already blue. This morning, a few days later, she finally got out of the hospital and was back in their apartment.

The doctors had said, that she had no major injurys and was now just battling a cold. But Ben could almost hear her racing pulse and feel the high temperature rising from her body. And it was his fault. In the end it was him that blew up that building and he blamed himself for getting Y/N into this situation. Just that M.M. didn't need to know that. Y/N whimpered again and Ben had enough. He had to do something for her.

"Keep an eye on her." was all Ben said to M.M. before he left the apatment once again without looking back.

"I don't know where the fuck he went." Marvin said angrily into his phone. "The motherfucker just left the apartment hours ago!"

Ben stood infront of the door, not ready to open it yet. Listening in on M.M. was a better idea. He could hear the muffled voice of Mallory on the other end of the line, but he didn't understand a goddamn word. Shit. So he slowly opened the door.

"I can not leave her alone here! She's still not feeling well. Someone needs to take care of her!"

"I'm gonna take care of her. You can go now."

Ben answered casual and didn't waste a glance at Marvin. He took of his jacket and shoes, put the little white plastic bag he carried on the kitchen table and walked over to the couch. Y/N was still laying there under her blankets and seemed to be asleep still. But there was an empty bowl with a spoon in it right next to her on the floor. She ate something. Good.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." M.M. hung up the phone and grabed his stuff.

"I left the door open for you." now Ben turned his head to the other man and fixiated him with his eyes.

But Marvin didn't have to be asked twice. He closed the door behind him loudly and left just silence behind. After a few heartbeats Ben looked down on Y/N again and touched her forehead with the back of his hand. Her temperature was still high and he really did not like that. So, he went back over to the kitchen table and pulled a little orange bottle out of the plastic bag.

Y/N stirred a little while Ben came over to her and sat down infront of her.

"Hey, Y/N. Wake up for me." he said softly and brushed a few sweaty strands out of her face.

"Noo..." she replied with a whisper. "I wanna sleep."

"C'mon. I have something for you. It'll help."

She opend one eye very carefully and looked at the man infront of her. He was holdig up his hand and in it there was a little white pill. Oh god... She closed her eyes shut and turned her head away from him.

"I don't wanna take any of your drugs."

"These are not drugs..."

"I'm sick, Ben. Not depressed..."

"Could you fucking stop arguing with me for a second and just trust me?"

It took a moment, but Y/N turned her head back to him again and opened both eyes now. "What is it then?"

"Antibiotics."

She furrowed her brows. "Where did you get that?"

"Is this important right now?" he replied a little infurated, but then he took a deep breath in and his facial features softened again. "Please... just take it."

Now Y/N's eyes widened a little. He said please. Ben, THE Soldier Boy, probably the most stuck in time man of all, said please. She could not believe it, but it worked. She opened her mouth a little and he laid her the small pill on the tounge, before he gave her a glas of water. After she swallowed it all, she change her position on the couch to a more comfortable one and felt sleep already pulling on her concious again.

"I'm so cold..." was the last thing she said before she drifted off again.

But Ben heared her loud and clear. He changed into his pajamas and before he could change his mind he scootched himself on the couch right behind Y/N. She started to shiver as soon as he lifted the blankets to make room for himself, but after he hugged her and traped the covers over both of them he could hear her sigh in relieve. She really must've felt cold. And after some more time, Ben too drifted of into the debths of sleep.

When Y/N woke up the nex time, she felt a whole lot better. The fever finally went down and she was not as cold anymore. She also felt very rested and didn't seem to have any symptoms of a bad cold. She stretched extensively and felt a hard body behind her. The smile came automatically. Ben. But she also realized that she was not laying on the couch anymore. At some point in the night he must've carried her into the bedroom. That warmed her cheeks a little, feeling slighty embarrassed.

Slowly, to not disturb the man in her life, she stood up and left the room. After a quick visit to the bathroom she went on into the kitchen. It was already after ten but still noone was here, which was odd.

"Are they going to be late?" she asked herself while she filled the kettle with water.

"Noone's coming in today." said a deep voice behind her, so that she turned around.

Ben still looked tired, but his eyes were already fully concentrating on her. He came over to Y/N and stopped infront of her.

"Why not?"

"Because we need a break from them. YOU need a break. We'll be fine for one fucking day on our own."

The supe took her face into one hand and leveled his eyesight a little with hers to take a proper look at her face.

"How are you feeling?"

Kinda surprised by this question Y/N saw genuine concern in these wonderful green eyes and she felt the soft and gentle touch of his hand on her cheek. Her heart started to jump a little, but not because of the cold she still felt in her system.

"Way better, actually. My circulation is still a bit weak and I'm still a bit cold, but it's much better than yesterday."

"Good. That's good." Ben took his hand away and Y/N already missed the contact. "I had to give you two more pills during the night."

"What?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah. Your fever just didn't wanna fucking go down."

The woman didn't know what to say to this. He cared for her and she couldn't even remember it. Who was this guy and what did he do to the Ben she knew?

"Okay...eh... time for breakfast, right?" Y/N wanted to start doing something, but Ben was quick in stopping her.

"No, no, no." He guided her to the couch. "You gonna sit down and try to find something to watch on tv. I'll handle the breakfast."

Her eyes widened. "You...you'll make breakfast?"

He turned around to her. "What? No. I'm no fucking cook." shaking his head he grabbed his phone. "I order us something. Maybe on of the guys outside is bored."

Y/N chuckled. There he was back again. While she took the remote in hand to turn on the tv, she listened to Ben talking to whoever and commanding the person on the other end of the line to bring them breakfast. But that didn't seem to go as smooth as he had hoped for, judging on the profanities he barked into his phone. Y/N overheared it and zapped through the channels, when she catched a special broadcast that showed Homelander infront of a school building.

"Ben..." she called after the man in her kitchen, while she heard Homelander talking about an incident that happened in this school yesterday. She turned up the volume.

"What the..." Ben came over to Y/N and stood behind the couch, brows furrowed and eyes on the screen.

"For the last years, my son Ryan here, has lived in hiding." The camera panned down to Homelanders right side where he pulled his son forward and layed his arm around his shoulders. "It was simply to dangerous for him, since he didn't have me to protect him."

"That's one fucking way to put it." Ben said to himself, but Y/N heared him and she knew what he meant. Annie had told her a lot in the last weeks.

"So I thought... it would be time for Ryan to finally be able to go to school with kids his age. To make friends. Hm?" he shook his son a little and smiled down to him before he looked up again. "I mean, who would NOT want to go to school and be friends with MY son."

Homelander kept smiling but that faded pretty quickly and an eerie feeling crept up Y/N spine. With a glanze to Ben she saw that he didn't feel any different. His knuckles were already white from gripping the back of the couch so strong.

"But then he told me that yesterday some of the kids been mocking him, bulling him even. Especially one kid. And that is something I can not tolerate. So, I found that kid. If you all maybe want to look over there?"

The camera showed the other side of the street where Homelander had pointed to. Y/N gasped and sat up a little strighter. There was a man in a black suit, that held a dark haired boy in a strong grip. The little one looked terrified and it seemed as if he had cried. Then, there was Homelander on the screen again.

"Huuuh... now you wished you wouldn't have done that, am I right? But everyone needs to learn at one point. And now..." he looked down on Ryan again. "... my son is gonna teach you a lesson."

All eyes were on the little blonde boy who had no idea what to do. He took a step back and looked questioningly up to the man next to him.

"What... do you mean?"

Homelander smiled quickly to the cameras and people infront of him, before he got down on his knee to be on eyelevel with his son.

"Ryan, he's been mean to you. He didn't treat you like you deserve. You're MY son. It's time you start to show that to everyone." He said a little quieter, but the micros and cameras catched it anyway.

"What?" his eyes widened and he glanzed over to the other boy.

"How about you try out your laser eyes again? That's what I would do." But Ryan hesitated with fear in his eyes, not sure on what to do here. "C'mon. Make me proud and show them that we're a family."

And after some moments that seemed to fly by in slow motion, the last thing people saw on live tv was Ryan lasering the poor boy on the other side of the street.

A/N: Halftime, guys. 🙈 At least in my planning. BUT as I know me, there's still room for more. So, let's see where this story keeps taking me. See you next time! 🤗

Can you please explain the basis of what camp here and there is 🙏

I want to get into it but im not great at listening to podcasts so i kinda sorta want a bit of an idea of what its about before i do so

OOOH YAY IM GLAD YOUR INTRESTED Camp here and there is a currently short 1 season podcast (34 episode) about a summer camp set in Ohio, in this world there are strange weather events, strange people and a strange setting in general, we follow a series of events mainly documented by the mc sydney (who is the camp nurse) in the first ep we realize there is a strange man wearing an elephant mask who stalks around the forest specifically watching sydney himself. During the summer camp weird weather events happen, relationships turn rough, items go missing, people start getting concerned, and the elephant man's actions gets more bizzare, and we listen to everything unfold through sydney's announcements and recordings.

sorry if that base was confusing, i didnt want to give spoilers. if you want to binge listen this podcast it takes about 14 hours (When i first listend to this podcast I started it at 1pm and ended it at 3am i was so hooked i just needed to know what happend)

So just so you know there are trigger warnings, there is manipulation, gore, body horror, religous imagery, death, relationship issues and thats all i can think of for now but if you are sensitive to any of that i dont recomend this podcast for you.

anyways, i really hope this helped at least a little and i hope you end up listening to this podcast! it is so good! the characters and the plot and the description is absolutely amazing! :))))

Portal Theory QSMP

I was thinking on the QSMP, and how Quackity said that new members and more things will come after "La Velada", the boxing hispanic event that happend this past week. He said he wanted to add more members the QSMP, and you must be asking yourself: "How is this related to portals?" Well, after the first two languages came to the island, there was a gap of 40 days until the brazilians boat crashed into the island, but after they came, there was a gap of only 16 days until the french crashed. So, after the global confirmation of the QSMP, there were two new languages implemented very soon. Why isn't there more? I think it's because is unbearable on the current server. If you didn't saw the video of the global announcement, they mencioned A LOT of countries and with only one server is imposible to have at least five people of each language. And here is the theory part: We all saw ElQuackity entering to the server, and how he had named the Quesadilla Island we all know as "Island 1" This implies that there are more than one island, and I think those islands will be the home of the new languages/ccs. This connects too with the election arc, I think they want to wait until there is a president, and Quackity already spread the idea of opening the nether, I think this is a crucial part, because the moment the players have portals available, there will be a way of traveling between the islands or servers. This is not a crazy thing, it already have been seen in a very popular hispanic minecraft series as "Tortillaland" a series divided in three different servers communicated by portals and the chat was communicated too, but when you traveled to one "town" as they called it, to another, you would see a charge screen like when you go into the nether. Quackity knows about this series, and I think is very possible something like this happens to QSMP too, because of the big proyect that it is and the amount of people it wants to bring together.

This of course is only a theory and it may not happen, but if not I'm still wondering how they will be able to get the amount of ccs and languages they want in just one minecraft server. But well, I just wanted to share my thoughts <3
