I’m Awful-Glad We Met
warnings: canon-typical violence. abusive relationship. child abuse. referenced suicide.
notes: also on ao3. 1.5k word count. pre-canon. spike plays the piano and he is NOT having a good time.
He was thrown to the ground. Everything hurt. His shattered ribs and broken nose—and it didn’t matter that he was a child. It never mattered. He was ten, plucked out of the gutters like a stray, blood dripping down his chin. A month ago, he buried his father. Last week, he had found his mother, hanging from the rafters.
He couldn’t even manage a tear anymore. “What do you want?”
“Ah...” A noise of disappointment, Mao looking down at him from around his desk. “You’re making a mess of the carpet.” And he had said it so sincerely, so directly, that Spike decided to follow him for the rest of his life.
---
He manned Annie’s register, occasionally. He sat there for more hours than he could count, during his off-days, earning honest money, for her honest business; selling pinups, and porn, and periodicals. It wasn’t official—he had been only twelve, after all—but she still paid him for his time.
It was good for him, Mao had said—customer service and money-handling. Spike just thought if he were there, on the rare chance he didn’t have a task to accomplish, he wouldn’t have to practice the piano for hours at a time. It’d be a few more years until he’d start to spend his free time down on Earth, soaring across the dusty sky, after all.
Business was slow, most days. He often filled the hours working through text after text, hungry for literature; life writings, and reviews, and short stories. Mao said that was good, too—it was good to train the mind. Spike took that to heart.
---
He told himself he would run away. That was how he came across Doohan’s shop, stationed out in the middle of nowhere. The work ethic was grueling, but the heat is what got to him; and in the end, after only a week, Spike had packed his bags and reluctantly returned home. Back to Mars, to his own apartment, to his own bloodied life, and that damning office. He kept up visits though, whenever he could—accomplishing the tasks that were given, without complaint, silently pleading for a vacation—learning more about machinery, and how to fly, and the man who taught it all.
For his sixteenth birthday, he had made the trip back out, just to get away from everything; dragons, and bullets, and burns. When he came back home, pulling up in Swordfish, Mao had been unreasonably upset. “If you had wanted a racer, all you had to do was ask.”
Spike hadn’t wanted to ask. He hadn’t even expected to bring it home in the first place. In fact, he was certain he never would have gotten a ship from his captain, even if he begged for it—and he’s learned how to beg the man by now.
He kept the keyring held tight in his palm.
---
“Happy birthday.”
Spike stood there for a moment, silent, in the entranceway of Mao’s office. He didn’t need to look at the calendar on the wall. He knew what today was—his birthday had been last month. It had been years since he stopped correcting him, ages since he came to the realization: the day Spike was born didn’t matter to Mao, at all. Today was the day he got picked up. That’s what was important to the man.
Spike turned—using the opportunity to sigh—closing the door behind him, before stepping further into the room. “Thanks.”
“Eighteen, now,” Mao mused, and leaned back into his chair. At least he got the number right this time. “How does it make you feel?”
Younger than you, Spike thought, but bit back the response before it could leave him. Instead, he shifted his weight, standing in the middle of the room. It felt like there was a spotlight on him. “…Fine.”
“Here,” Mao gestured. “Make some tea. It’s your special day, I wont give you any tasks. Let’s spend time together, instead. It’s been a while.”
Spike made his way over to the kitchenette, where he prepared the kettle. He took a moment to scan the horizon, outside the window, grimacing. He didn’t wake up early and dressed up, to report, just to sit around and drink tea all day. When he was a kid, Mao had assured him that he would one day come to appreciate the taste. Spike was still waiting for that day.
He rummaged around in the cabinet, looking for the blend that tasted most like nothing. Letting it steep, he turned back to his captain. “Y’know,” he tried for casual. “It’s just a day. There’s nothing special about it.”
Mao’s eyes twinkled. “Oh, but there is.”
Spike frowned, and finished preparing the tea. Carrying the tray over, he made his way to the desk, and placed a cup carefully in front of the man, on a coaster. He put his own on the other side, near the edge of the desk, where he stood, and tucked the tray beneath his arm. He almost didn’t bother with a coaster.
The sentiment wasn’t lost on him—serving tea, on his own apparent birthday, stuck in the office. With Mao.
He watched Mao sip it with a sigh. “You always do it best, Spike.”
Spike didn’t think so. But he also didn’t think it was the tea he was praising. He was no longer a pup, trailing after his heels, seeking his approval—no, he’s long since grown out of that phase. Despite the fact, something inside of him stirred back to life at the words. Again, he shifted his weight. Then, as if it had acted on its own, his head inclined slightly in response.
“Tell me,” Mao sat back once more, interlacing his fingers together before him. “Have you been practicing?”
Head still lowered, Spike froze.
“Ah…” A noise of disappointment. “What have I told you? If you don’t play, you will lose it.” He gestured to the standing piano, tucked into the corner of the room. “Go on.”
Spike’s eyes flickered between Mao and the piano. He felt twelve again. The stirring grew louder, pounding against his ears until it was all he could hear. Slowly, he raised to full height. It’s true—he hadn’t played in a while...
Making his way over to the corner, the spotlight burned brighter. He set the tray down on the lid, taking a seat and flipped over the fallboard. Exhaling, his shoulders sank. He worked his jaw, sitting there for a spell.
“What—ah,” he tapped at a few keys, idly. “What do you want to hear?” He turned his head, only a bit, in Mao’s direction. The notes formed a melody, slowly; familiar and safe. He continued on, trying to keep it upbeat—but it was hard. The spotlight felt heavy, his fingers not extending as far as they should.
“This is why you need practice,” Mao sighed. “You’re rusty.”
Coming from any other person, Spike would have been on his feet in an instant. But then, if it were any other person watching, Spike wouldn’t have felt so tense. He swallowed, and focused on his hands and where they landed. He allowed himself to be silent for only a moment, before carrying on with the tune.
A celebrated man amongst the gurneys…
“None of that,” Mao cut him off. “I don’t know where you got that from, anyway. Play something different. Something good. Something real.”
“Well,” Spike felt himself clenching his jaw. “What do you want? Give me a request.” When he got no response, he bared his teeth. Keeping his back turned, he glued himself to the bench; the stirring flickered, flaring up before it collapsed onto itself. It left his shoulders tense, losing control of the notes once more.
“You’re hurting my ears now, Spike.”
Spike stopped completely. Hovering over the keys, his hands clenched into fists. “Then tell me what to play.” Again, no response. He remembered why he only ever came in here to report, nowadays. It never mattered—the money, or the rise, the lives, his own blood flooding out like a constant river, screaming, always on his knees—he never got what he truly wanted. Exhaling, sharply, he started a different melody. He didn’t breathe. His entire attention honed in on the keys before him, unintentionally increasing in speed, incrementally, the metronome inside his head ticking faster and faster.
This was a mistake, I’ll take my leave—
He only got about halfway through the piece before the hand coming down on his shoulder shot him back to the present. He looked up.
“Breathe.”
That one word prompted the inhale into his lungs, ceasing his thoughts instantly; nearly wiping his mind completely, leaving only him and Mao. The stirring crept up again, the embers burning, still. Despite the churning in his stomach, the revulsion at being touched, always, always, always—the one truth remained: no matter his age, from one person, he wanted to be praised. Catching the eyes of his captain, he sat, trying his hardest not to heave and failing miserably in the process. Embarrassingly. Obviously.
“It’s alright, Spike. Try again.”
After what felt like an eternity, he managed to tear his gaze away, and he turned back to the piano. Again, he worked his jaw. Distantly, Spike knew Mao was only letting him play this one because he had never heard it before—this was the first time he’s ever tried. He exhaled, once more, and tried again; humming the words under his breath, to help him along.
Can you read between the Morse code lines...?
After he was done, he looked out of the corner of his eyes, reflexively, back at his captain. Mao still stood, hovering over his shoulder, arms behind his back.
“That sounded better,” he had said, and Spike needed nothing more to feel ten all over again.

Ok so why did Gerard wear the same costume for 6 shows???
Like a lot of people, I noticed the Aotearoa (NZ) & Australia tour drum head messages seemed to be about 9/11. The costume also tells a very specific story that lines up with this--and there was more to Melbourne Night 2 than Gerard deciding it was casual Friday. I'm gonna go through my personal interpretation and explain why I think MCR did this at the end of their tour.
TLDR: This Is Not The End.
I will include image credits in the reblog since there are a lot!
AUCKLAND, March 11 2023
Based on the skirt suit and drumhead ‘FIX FAX FUCK YOU’, Gerard is dressed as an office worker. For simplicity I will refer to the costume as the Secretary, I see it as both a character and a metaphor. Auckland establishes the monotony and repetition of daily life prior to 9/11, ‘FIX FAX FUCK YOU’ showing an attitude of boredom unaware of the events to come.
BRISBANE 1, March 13 2023
The main difference between Auckland and Brisbane 1 is the briefcase. This indicates the point in time--Auckland is the days before 9/11 and Brisbane 1 is the morning before the attacks begin. The secretary travels to work, thinking ‘Everything under Control’.
BRISBANE 2, March 14 2023
The drumhead message ‘Here Comes the AIRPLANE’ marks this as minutes or even seconds before the towers are hit. Brisbane 2 is the first time Gerard wears the coat, representing everyone taking cover.
MELBOURNE 1, March 16 2023
I unfortunately could not find a good photo of Gerard wearing the coat from this show but you can see it on the floor behind him!
The Melbourne shows are as the towers collapse. Pretty straightforward from the Melbourne 1 drumhead ‘TERROR’. This show also had the only appearance of the umbrella, which I interpret as representing the rubble and destruction raining down. The umbrella is closed, showing the secretary is unprotected and ultimately killed when the towers fall.
MELBOURNE 2, March 17 2023
It seemed odd at first that Melb 2 was the only show that Gerard didn’t wear a costume for, but I actually believe he still did. This is the key to my interpretation: Gerard is dressed as himself witnessing the towers collapse, on his way to work at Cartoon Network. This the only show on the Oceania leg where they played Skylines and Turnstiles*, the song Gerard wrote immediately after 9/11. The drumhead ‘BARK BARK BARK’ makes you picture, a chained dog, representing the powerless horror of only being able to watch as the destruction unfolds--the deeply personal experience that drove Gerard to form MCR.
SYDNEY 1, March 19 2023
Blood!!!! At Sydney 1, we see the continuing aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The secretary has died but keeps moving, picking up her briefcase and carrying on. This could be showing how a lot of people’s faith in the US government and in the world died, but life had to find a way to move on.
SYDNEY 2, March 20 2023
At Sydney 2, the addition of Gerard’s white contacts shows the Secretary decaying--but she has not stopped. Frank changed the drumhead message from ‘UNKILLABLE’ to ‘UNKILLABLES’, expanding the meaning from the context of his accident in Sydney to include the band, the fans, and on a wider level everything MCR represents.
I think all of this is a metaphor for the band’s career in multiple ways. Firstly, the Secretary being undead of course reflects MCR’s return, and her zombified appearance aligns with the imagery of their new era (decay, swarm, the destroyed buildings of the stage set). Secondly, it is very interesting to me that they did this sequence of costumes and drumheads at the end of their headlining tour, rather that at the start. The story they told seems to imply a rebirth--MCR was ‘born’ out of the trauma, pain and confusion of 9/11, so the fact that they represented the start of the band on stage signifies a second beginning.
(Thank you for reading to the end and if I got anything wrong please let me know!)
*EDIT 1 (23/03/23): They actually also played Skylines at Brisbane 2. I do think the position of Skylines in the Melb 2 set is still significant. They played it as the first encore song which mirrors it being the first MCR song and written shortly after 9/11.
EDIT 2 (30/03/23): So actually 8 shows of Secretary Gerard when you include Japan! Tokyo and Osaka analysis here
#mcr australia#mcr new zealand#mcr auckland#mcr brisbane 1#mcr brisbane 2#mcr melbourne 1#mcr melbourne 2#mcr sydney 1#mcr sydney 2#mcr tour#my chemical romance#my chem#gerard way#unkillable#unkillables#fix fax fuck you#everything under control#here comes the airplane#mcr

Assigning ATEEZ an alternative band (Maknae line)
A/N: Part two!! I’m glad people enjoyed the hyung line. Some of these were a little harder to decide, but in the end it’s just an opinion hehe. Enjoy!!
CW for mentions of mental health and such
Choi San: My Chemical Romance
★ This was the first one I actually thought of
★ And it’s mostly because of San’s versatility
★ If you know anything about My Chem, you know how varied their discography is. They have songs that range from a hardcore punk sound to Britpop, and even a little polka
★ And that reminds me of San. I mean, look at him. He adapts so well to everything that ATEEZ tries and isn’t afraid to go out and try new things for himself
★ Also, San’s reputation precedes him, I fear. I’ve seen a lot of people say that he looks intimidating, even though Atinys know he’s a softie
★ Same with MCR. Back in the day, their image with the dark makeup, bulletproof vests, etc made a lot of people quite wary of them, but then they promoted their more emotional music which got people hooked
★ Cover Demolition Lovers and my life is yours, Sannie
Song Mingi: Three Days Grace
★ Now this…Honestly, this is purely based off of vibes
★ Like this just makes sense to me?? I’m referring to their first run with Adam Gontier, specifically to their album One X
★ They have a lot of songs about mental health (which put them on the scene as a band), and Mingi is quite outspoken about being kind to yourself and dealing with mental health
★ As someone with severe anxiety, I get comfort from both Mingi and TDG
★ I think it was the picture of Mingi holding that bass that made this opinion so solid for me…I immediately thought of Animal I Have Become
★ I almost said Fall Out Boy, but I think TDG really suits our boy here
Jung Wooyoung: The Pretty Reckless
★ Hard decision tbh, there are a lot of bands that remind me of our sweet sagittarius
★ But in the end, I had to go with The Pretty Reckless
★ Firstly, aesthetics. I’ve noticed that Wooyoung has been into darker clothing as of late, and religious motifs. Definitely reminds me of Taylor Momsen circa 2015-2016
★ A lot of people send all sorts of criticism their way, whether it be for Taylor’s voice or what, but they never pay it any mind and keep doing what they love
★ Just like Wooyoung! He never lets other’s opinions of him stop him from doing what he loves. His mom says she’ll kill him if he gets more tattoos? Sorry, Mama Jung! Your son cannot be stopped, I fear
★ Also, there’s a sort of feeling I get from the both of them. Wooyoung is fiercely loyal and loving to his family, and TPR reminds me of that as well. Remember when he said that he’d bite anyone who was rude to Seonghwa? Brother is there until the end
★ The song 25 reminds me of him. I can’t really explain why, but it does :]
Choi Jongho: Paramore
★ This was so obvious to me
★ Let’s get it out of the way: Vocals. If Jongho and Hayley Williams ever collaborated I would simply die
★ Imagine Jongho covering All I Wanted or Decode. I would shit myself tbh
★ No but anyway
★ I feel like people used to underestimate Paramore because they were young when they started, especially because they have a female singer
★ But instead of caving under pressure, they made a name for themselves and worked for everything they’ve gotten in the past two decades
★ Just like our boy!! If I remember correctly, I believe he’s said that he had to put in a ton of work to get to the place where he is now because he wasn’t a naturally gifted singer, and i’m sure he was under a ton of pressure as the maknae
★ Both artists are absolutely untouchable in skill and I adore them endlessly hehe
#ateez#ateez blurbs#ateez imagines#jung wooyoung#wooyoung ateez#atiny#choi san#choi jongho#song mingi#ateez san#ateez mingi#ateez jongho#ateez headcanons#alternative#my chemical romance#three days grace#the pretty reckless#paramore

The first chapter of Lonely Remnants, the fic about my CorpseJuice AU, is up! It’s called “Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in, In my head, in my heart, in my soul”.
CorpseJuice is an AU where Lydia’s mother dies in a car accident, and her adopted brother, Lawrence, goes missing and is presumed dead. A year later, she stumbles upon a demon puppeteering his corpse! She and the demon work together to find out what happened the night of the wreck, and who her brother really was.
Please read the warnings attached to the start of the chapter before continuing, this fic is a doozy!
Here are the extras for chapter one!
- The lyrics for this first chapter are from “Ocean Breathes Salty” by Modest Mouse! It is very literal for Lydia and her lost family members. I wonder if it’ll come back later?
- “Lawrence Graham” - Since his last name can’t be Shoggoth, I decided to pick a last name that has relevance to the plot! But I can’t tell you what sort of relevance yet. Because spoilers.
- “He could look at someone and know in an instant just what to do to scare the absolute shit out of them.” - This is a sort of joking reference to Beetlejuice’s line in “That Beautiful Sound”, about “clean white shorts turning brown”!
- “Talking Heads and MCR” - I listen to one of these. The other my best friend listens to and says he thinks Beetlejuice would be really into.
- “the ‘TinyTimes Hardware store’” - Thank you @jessicawesker83 for this whimsical suggestion. I love it!
- “Barbara Butterfield” - thank you @bjfinn and @ten-chocolate-sundaes for helping me figure out a good maiden name for Barbara!
- “Lydia remembered her mother cheering for Lawrence when he’d finally asked them to “hang out” with him, seeing some sort of cheesy horror comedy flick with them.” - IT’S MY FIC AND I GET TO PICK THE ANACHRONISTIC MOVIE THEY SEE IN THEATERS!! They saw “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil” because I said so
- “One moment, Lydia and her mother were laughing and singing along to ‘Jump in the line’ by Harry Belafonte.” - This is, of course, a reference to the line in the musical where Lydia says that this was one of Emily’s favorite songs.
- “Only a portion of his left arm, and six liters of his blood were found in his stupid, beat-up old green 2001 Volkswagen Beetle.” - the most blood a human can lose and still survive is two liters. Also, get it? A Volkswagen Beetle? A green buggy?
- “Charles refused to pay for a cemetery plot, and certainly not one next to Emily.” - What an ass! I wonder why this is.
- “Jumping off the old bridge at the edge of town, into frigid waters, letting them carry her to wherever her home was now.” - This is a reference to Barbara and Adam’s death, and how Lydia planned to kill herself in the original film. It is also a reference to how she often called her mom “home” in the musical.
- “They sat huddled together and watched his favorite movies. ‘Zombieland’, ‘Groundhog Day’, ‘The Mask’.” - Haha, “Zombieland”. ‘Cause he’s a zombie now. Also yeah “Groundhog Day” is a sort of reference to LoopJuice, sue me. Notice how Lawrence only really likes comedies! He was actually pretty squeamish with blood and gore that wasn’t for the haunted house.
- “Barbara and Adam helped Lydia find a counselor that same day. Her name was Kerry, and although she was resistant at first, she’d helped Lydia tremendously.” - The name ‘Kerry’ is, of course, a reference to Barbara’s actor in the musical, Kerry Butler! I just think she’d have such a calming presence, and that she’d listen to you so well.
- “They both wore a necklace each; a simple chain with a ring attached. They got them shortly after the accident. Lydia had never gotten a good look at them, but she could take a guess as to what they were. (In June, she got her hands on the police report. A box with identical engagement rings had been found in Lawrence’s glovebox, and were handed off to “next of kin”.) Barbara and Adam never took the necklaces off.” - Ouchie. Are we connecting the dots here? Because I don’t like the image they’re makin’.
- Bellflowers mean everlasting love, forget-me-nots are pretty self explanatory. Also, bellflowers are purple! Lawrence loved purple and green.
- Sunflowers obviously represent happiness, which is a little ironic, but Lydia chose them more because they were her mother’s favorite.
- “A dirty, stained, shredded grey trench coat, the arms caked in dark splotches she could only hope was just mud. (They were black and russet brown, so probably not.) The left sleeve of his trench coat was tied off, most of that arm obviously missing. His hair was wild, stained green from what seemed to be moss growing on what little she could see of his face, as well as on his clothing and down his neck. A… somewhat familiar red button-up underneath, patterned with beetles, and tattered black slacks- ” - Yeah, he is dressed like Beetlejuice’s cemetery appearance in the movie! But he is not a KeatonJuice. The button-up and pants were what Lawrence was wearing when the crash happened, and the trench coat… let’s say the demon stole it.
- “C’mon, Scarecrow, don’t be so glum. I’ll be back before you know it.” - This was the last thing Lawrence ever said to Lydia before leaving for his “family emergency”.
- “Lars!” - Lydia’s own nickname for Lawrence.
- “Like he’d gargled a bowl of nails every day for the past century without any milk.” - Sorry not sorry for the SpongeBob reference.
- “His skin was a sickly sort of green, with moss patches growing on his face, and various sickly bruises dotting all of his visible skin.” … “His movements were stiff and robotic..” - Sorry, I studied forensic science for a few years, so there is a lot of gross dead body stuff in this fic that I will do my best to tone down. The “bruising” is livor mortis, or discoloration of the skin after death. The weird, stiff movements is from the demon being a freak as well as rigor mortis, or the stiffening of the joints/limbs after death.
- “Number 88, to be specific. We’re part of a big collective, see? A big ol’… mishmash of primordial goop.” - The demon’s true form is goo. The black stains on Lawrence’s face is it leaking out. This Beetlejuice is more Lovecraft than Dante’s Inferno. Also, #88 is a reference to the year the original film came out!
- “Let me take the driver’s seat!” - This is a reference to the song Alex Brightman sings in “Dead End: Paranormal Park” as his characters Pugsley and Temeluchus. The similarities were an accident.
- “Shuddering twitches wracked through it’s body, moving up from it’s legs, to it’s torso, to it’s shoulders, then it’s head, but it didn’t seem to care.” - The twitches and shakes are from both the demon being a weirdo (and AuDHD but we don’t have time to unpack that) and from algor mortis, or the body cooling after death.
- “Whatever-the-fuck. The.. it’s a chemical only found in brains. Gotta eat it or risk total rejection from the host.” - Yeah I kinda stole the idea from “Venom”. Yes there will be more things I stole from “Venom”. Let a creature (me) have fun and borrow things from their favorite rom-com!

Better glimpse of her backpack. Cute little skullbat zipper!! Also batteries. 👍
Apparently DEAD BATTERIES, aka the logo on Uzi’s sweater could be a possible band? Or reference to a band I don’t know? Like how they have my chemical robots (or something like that) as a ref to the band MCR (romance).
Sigh., N was that you.
Conlang? Fictional language? Glyphs? I’m assuming it’s VERY important (since liam lovessss foreshadowing, i will further elaborate). Hoping there will be ways to "simplify" it to english!
Yknow how in episode 2 Uzi takes braidens sentience or sumn like dat. Yea 💀
Alright I’ve hit the limit, gonna rb again with part 2!!!!! Soon. Maybe

Umbrella Academy spoilers:
I’ve just finished the show.
I’m balling my eyes out on my sofa. Yet at the same time I feel so emotionally numb.
I enjoyed this season so much!
I don’t know if the ending was satisfying or not. I just don’t know. It made me feel something.
I was singing along to I Think We’re Alone Now just crying at the end. And I was screaming seeing all the characters back. And when Gabriel Bà was in it! (It might have been better if I watched it yesterday, considering that’s the day Pogo said?)
There were some moments that just really hit! Lila sending her family off to another timeline knowing that she’s going to have to sacrifice herself. Her and Allison knowing that their children aren’t going to have parents. And just seeing them on the field all happy made me cry so much.
I hate to admit that I wasn’t satisfied with Ben’s ending. I thought it would be a bit more emotional, but it just kind of sucked that he didn’t get that time with the others at the end. The effects when he was turning just made me laugh as well. Ben’s my favourite so I’m annoyed he didn’t get that time.
Also, I do kind of ship Ben and Jennifer. I’m not that familiar with MCR lore, but they remind me of the demolition lovers. When I think about them, I think about the ending of I Never Told You What I Do for a Living, “And never again, and never again, they gave us to shots to the back of the head and we’re all dead now.”
Umbrella Ben’s death hit me so hard! I was expecting this really emotional moment, but the lack of emotions in it really made it.
One: Ben was sent on this mission despite not wanting to go.
Two: They were made to blow up something with a living being inside. Ben didn’t want to blow up someone.
Three: Reginald shot Jennifer and his own son with no remorse what so ever. In front of his siblings!
Four: Ben and Jennifer’s body being the title card felt so brutal!
Five: Reginald wiped their minds so they wouldn’t remember what even happened to their own brother.
Six: He put the blame on his siblings! And gave that utterly shit eulogy! Somehow, that funeral scene found a way to become even more shitty, which is quite impressive!
Honestly, I think this was the best way to do it. There are so many questions around it too. Was Pogo aware of what happened? Was Ben? I get the idea that Umbrella Ben remembers being shot, but he probably wouldn’t know who killed him. Ben wouldn’t know that his siblings didn’t know?
I love Abigail and Reginald! It took me by surprise that Abigail was responsible for this and that she wanted the opposite to what Reggie wanted. Reggie had done all this to bring her back and she wanted to end it all. In a way, Reginald is quite similar to the children with his motivations and it really shines through this season. Colm Feore plays him so well! He’s funny and detestable at the same time.
I also really enjoy the subway system! I think it was a really cool way to show them travelling through timelines.
This might be controversial, but I enjoyed the Five and Lila situation. I’ve seen quite a lot of hate for it. But it made an interesting dynamic when they got back. And it also makes sense for the characters. They had been stuck jumping through timelines for 7 years.
I love that there are quite a lot of comic references in here. A small one is that I recognised who Jennifer was before her name was revealed because her name badge was the same design as the comics. Pretty proud of myself for that one!
But mostly that Klaus got to have his Hotel Oblivion story arc (it is Hotel Oblivion, right).
I have calmed down a little bit after writing this. It really feels like the end, you know? There’s no easy way to just bring the characters back in my mind and I don’t like that. I feel like after every season, I just feel smaller and smaller because of how many timelines they introduce. And this one is the same. It does a much better job at making me feel small. I still feel like there are many mysteries, which would be fun to delve into fanfiction for!
So, yeah. Long ramble about season 4. I enjoyed this season so much. And this show has meant a lot to me over the years. I can’t believe it’s over.
