#this is not buffy!!! she would not do this im sorry

[park-chimney]

reading the buffy comics rn which are. a whirlwind to say the least. but i have to say the “buffy being into xander” plotline (on top of the “dawn x xander” plotline) is so offputting lol

it feels like wish fulfillment from joss or something idk. that was a ship possibility shut down in the earliest buffy days so why would it creep up for any reason? pretty sure buffy has never. Never. seen xander in that way. and it’s weird the story is framing it like she wants him.

xander is not the chick magnet the narrative wants me to believe he is, i will not be Tricked!!!!!

[gremlinbean]

I hate that the show tried to pretend Buffy was in the wrong for leaving. She was not and I will fight anyone who says otherwise

Giles x reader - spectacular

Hi im the one that asked for more Giles sorry I don't speak english very well so I don't know how to write this the prompt 15 from your 2024 prompt list and the reader being a vampire or a shapeshifer or something like that and english not being their first language - Anon💜

15: “What is it about (Y/N) you love so much?” “Aside from being the most spectacular person I have ever met, everything. I just wish there was a way I could say that.” “Turn around.”

A/N: italics will be a different language, whatever one y’all want it to be!

Walking into the shop, you made your way down the steps and over to the counter where Anya was standing.

“Rupert?” You asked.

She looked up, pointing to the back room.

“I think Giles is back there in not sure.”

You nodded, making your way into the back room where Giles was setting up some training equipment.

“Ah, thank you for coming, I realise this isn’t exactly how you enjoy your spend your time but we could really use the help.”

You sat down on the couch, and he walked over, sitting next to you.

“I think I know what kind of demon we’re looking for, but I can’t be so sure, I was wondering if you’ve seen anything like this before.”

He handed you a sketch, and you took it, looking at it.

“He’s ugly.”

Giles chuckled a little bit, nodding his head.

“Yeah, not the best looking demon there is that’s for sure.”

You grinned a little at him, handing the photo back to him.

Your English wasn’t the best, you knew some, but for the most part you stuck to speaking the language you were born speaking.

Giles on the other hand couldn’t speak your language very well, but he understood it, he could read it and understand what you were saying if you spoke slowly.

“I have seen him before, yes. Deals with uh… my kind… shapeshifters.” You said.

Giles nodded his head.

“So a shapeshifter is doing this?”

“Yes.”

Giles glanced at you.

“Would you know why? Or who? How to kill it?”

You nodded quickly and you jumped up, walking over to the weapons on the wall.

You searched them carefully before stepping aside, gesturing to one of them and he walked over to pick it up.

“Silver?”

“Yes, silver burns is shapeshifters, and the demons we summon.”

He nodded.

You looked at him, and you tapped his chest with a finger, right above his heart, and then you tapped his forehead.

“You go for heart or brain, like a vampire.”

Giles smiled at you.

“Thank you (Y/N).”

You smiled back and you looked around before turning your gaze to him.

“I’ll go see if I can find the demon or the person who summoned him.”

Giles nodded, watching as you changed forms in a blink of an eye, standing before him as a raven.

It was your favourite form to take, you enjoyed being able to get high into sky, get a better view of everything.

He held his arm out and you flew up, perching on his forearm, letting out a small caw, and you looked at him, tilting your head a little.

He walked out the room, and over to the front door, opening it and stepping outside.

“I’ll be here.”

You hopped down his arm, and then you took flight, circling a few times before you took off to go find the newest threat to Sunnydale.

Giles smiled to himself as he watched you fly away.

“Giles?”

“Buffy?”

He turned to look at her, and they walked into the shop again.

“Was that (Y/N)?” She asked.

“Ah yes, I thought perhaps she would have some insight and she did. She is going to try find the demon or the one who summoned it.”

She nodded and they sat down at the table, waiting for the others to arrive so he could share the information you had shared with him to them.

He told them what you had told him, and that you were going to find to find out what you could do they waited there for you.

Giles was looking through books, separating them into two different piles.

“What’re you doing?” Willow asked.

He glanced at her, smiling a little as he set a book aside.

“(Y/N) asked me for a few books I think that she would like.”

Willow grinned a little bit as he reached for his cup to take a drink.

“What is it about (Y/N) you love so much?”

Giles choked on his drink, patting his chest a few times and he set his cup down.

“Where on earth did you get that from?”

“Come on, we can all see it. You’re totally in love with her.” Buffy said.

“It’s true, and kind of gross to think about. But true.” Anya said.

Giles looked to all the grinning young adults and he sighed, slowly sitting back down in his chair.

He sighed, taking his glasses off and he stood up again, unable to look at them as he thought for something to say.

He couldn’t exactly lie to them, because he knew if he did they were just going to meddle in his personal life.

“Aside from being the most spectacular person I have ever met, everything. I just wish there was a way I could say that.” He said softly.

They all snickered a little.

“Laugh all you like, it’s true.” He said.

You had entered the shop through the sewer system, and you had quietly made your way through it.

You had heard what they had asked, and you decided to stay quiet to hear his response because you were curious.

You liked him, a lot, and you didn’t want to make the move in case he didn’t feel the same way, because it had been a long time since you cared for somebody the way you cared for Giles.

So when you heard his response you waited.

After hearing it you grinned from ear to ear before composing yourself.

“Turn around.”

Giles whipped around and you walked over, standing in front of the table.

You relayed everything you could the best you could, and Giles helped you explain it all to the group before Buffy decided what they would do.

She settled for them taking it out sooner rather than later

They left and Giles didn’t know if he should say something about what he said or leave it, and while he was lost in through my trying to figure it out you walked over.

You stood next to him, tapping his arm and he looked at you, immediately smiling softly.

“You’re pretty spectacular yourself.”

You said it quickly and he struggled to figure out what you said and you laughed softly and his bewildered look.

He furrowed his brows a little and you leant up, kissing is cheek before stepping away, a small grin on your face as he looked flustered.

“See you around, yeah?”

He nodded his head still stunned for words.

You had just kissed his cheek, and all he could think about was how gentle you were, how you smell slightly like flowers and pine trees.

He wanted to talk to you before it was too late but you had already left the shop, but it made him smile from ear to ear.

The next time he saw you he was going to be sure to ask you for coffee or to dinner, he just had to work up the courage to do that

[i-am-church-the-cat]

you can always go home again (or for the first time)

This is my fic for the Andi Mack gift exchange! This is for @paracosmicat, I'm so sorry that it's late, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Summary: She ruffles his hair as she leads the way back through the apartment. It’s small and crowded with trinkets, books and shoes, basketballs and art projects, and something that must have exploded from the kitchen. Three more people are waiting for them in the living room, less than T.J. expected from the level of noise he’d heard. “Hey guys, this is T.J., the dude I was telling you about,” Jonah introduces him to the group at large and he offers a small wave. “T.J., this is Andi, Cyrus, and Marty.” WC: 2674 Pairing: Gen mostly, but with pre-relationship Tyrus and minor Amris Tags: College AU, First Meetings, T.J. POV, Amber and T.J. are siblings Rating: Teen

---

He knew it was saving him money, but sometimes living with his sister and her girlfriend could be really annoying. T.J. had been trapped in his room for ages, Amber and Iris having fought and made up over the past several hours, both things he would rather not be witness to. At this rate, he was going to be locked in here until graduation. 

Jonah 

Hey man, you looking to hang tonight?

Something like relief passes through T.J. when he gets the message. He and Jonah aren’t the closest of friends, yet. They hadn’t gotten along when Jonah was dating his sister - between the compulsory heterosexuality and Jonah’s constant avoidance of anything even hinting at romantic in nature, it had been hell from start to finish - but since they were both studying kinesiology, they’d tried to be friendly. Today, that work had finally paid off.

T.J.

Yeah man, what were you thinking?

Jonah

Some of my friends are holding a get together at their apartment, just a small thing. You wanna come?

Another noise came from the living room. T.J. didn’t want to know if it was a yell or a moan. 

T.J.

Send me the address, im omw

Since the path to the front door was locked, T.J. used the fire escape by his window. It dropped him right next to the motorcycle he probably shouldn’t be parking in the back alley. But hey, it hadn’t been stolen yet, and it made for a very quick getaway. T.J. set his phone to give him voice directions to the address Jonah texts him and then he’s off. 

--

The apartment building is nice, an artist-y co-op on the west side of town. T.J. heads up to the third floor after texting Jonah again for the apartment number - Beck wasn’t always the most aware person. Both the bike ride and the jog up the steps do a lot for getting T.J. in a better headspace than he was in earlier. 

He hears the apartment before he sees it. Jonah said it was just a small get together, but from the noise coming through the door, T.J. has some serious doubts. He considers bailing before remembering what’s going on at his own apartment and knocking on the door. 

Surprisingly, it’s not Jonah who answers. It’s a girl with tight braids and wearing a Utah Jazz jersey. She looks like someone he should know, but it slips his mind. She looks him over and must find him wanting because her expression is thoroughly unimpressed. 

“Can I help you?”

“Um, hi,” T.J. says, trying for a smile and probably failing short. “I’m looking for-”

“Oh, Buffy is that T.J.?” A thankfully familiar voice comes from inside the apartment. Jonah Beck pops his head around the girl - Buffy’s - shoulder and flashes his big signature smile. “Teej, glad you could make it! Come in, come in.”

“Just inviting people into my home now, Beck?” Buffy asks, clearly not amused, but she steps aside with a nod to T.J. He nods back, figuring it’s the best course of action, and he’s rewarded with Buffy’s expression going a little less intense and a little more accepting. 

“Oh, yeah, sorry Buffy.” Jonah’s apologetic grin is too cute for anyone, even Buffy, to hold a grudge against. She ruffles his hair as she leads the way back through the apartment. It’s small and crowded with trinkets, books and shoes, basketballs and art projects, and something that must have exploded from the kitchen. Three more people are waiting for them in the living room, less than T.J. expected from the level of noise he’d heard.

“Hey guys, this is T.J., the dude I was telling you about,” Jonah introduces him to the group at large and he offers a small wave. “T.J., this is Andi, Cyrus, and Marty.”

T.J. opens his mouth to greet the group but the guy he’d thought looked familiar beats him to it. Marty hops up, big grin on his face as he offers up his hand for T.J. to slap.

“Hey, Kippen right? Aren’t you the new freshman starter for the basketball team?”

T.J. grins but can’t help the flush that takes his face. He’s proud of himself, yeah, but he finds it’s not always the best to introduce himself with his sporting career. It hasn’t always worked out the best in the past, which was mainly his fault to be fair. He hadn’t been a nice person on the court when he was younger.

“Yeah, I remember you from tryouts. You’ve got a great three-pointer, man.”

“Oh god, Jonah don’t tell me you brought another jock,” whines the other girl in the apartment, an Asian girl with short hair and paint on her t-shirt. “Now Cyrus and I are outnumbered 2-to-1.”

“I also invited Walker and Libby, but they both had things,” Jonah tries to defend himself, flopping down on the floor and grabbing a handful of popcorn from that half-empty bowl on teh coffee table. “It’s not my fault T.J.’s the only one free enough to join us.”

“I’m not totally sure if that’s an insult or not,” T.J. admits, looking around for space to sit. Andi and Buffy are sitting on the couch, Marty going back to sit in the third seat. Jonah’s on the floor. The only seat left is the loveseat, next to the only person here who’s voice T.J. hasn’t heard yet. 

“Hi,” he greets, moving towards the other boy. “I’m T.J. Can I sit?”

The brown-haired boy has big eyes that seem to suck all the air out of the room. Either someone just started hitting a bass drum, or T.J. could hear his heartbeat in his ears. Soft freckles dusted the boy’s nose and his pink lips had teeth indentations in them, as if he’d been biting them only seconds before. Those same lips lift into a smile, crinkly his Bambi eyes at the edges. 

“Sure,” the angel fairy boy said. “I’m Cyrus.”

“T.J.,” he mumbles, sitting down on the cushion. The other boy’s eyes fill with mirth.

“You said that already.”

“Right.” T.J. blinks, wondering it this is what deer felt when they get stuck in headlights. “Sorry.”

Cyrus is clearly laughing at him but he has the decency not to show it. Instead, he leans forward and grabs something off of the pile of snacks on the coffee table. 

“Muffin? It’s chocolate chocolate chip.”

“Oh.” T.J. looks down at the muffin in surprise. It’s big and rich and somehow exactly what T.J. needs. His stomach growls in appreciation as he takes the treat in gentle hands. “Thank you, these are actually my favorite.”

Cyrus’s eyes twinkle. “Mine, too,” he says, grabbing another one and holding it out to cheers against T.J.’s own. T.J.’s grin is huge at the simple gesture. 

“So, T.J.” The voice draws the two out of the little bubble they had gotten sucked in so quickly. T.J. turns to Buffy while his fingers tear off a bit of muffin and pop it in his mouth. “What do the T and the J stand for?”

He snorts, used to this line of questioning. T.J. leans back in his seat, one arm going across the back of the couch. He doesn’t the notice the way Cyrus looks at the arm in surprise, face going slightly red. 

“Sorry, but that’s highly privileged information. Only four people on Earth know it.”

Marty leans forward with eager eyes. “Is it really that bad?”

T.J.’s face and voice are deadpan when he says, “Worse.”

“Amber told me it changes every month,” Jonah says from his spot on the floor. 

“Oh wait, are you Amber’s brother?” Andi says, eyes going wide in recognition. Shoot. If she knows his sister this could either be really bad or… nah, just really bad. His sister’s kind of a dick. 

“Yeah, younger, by two years.” 

“How come we never met you when she and Jonah were dating?” Buffy asks. The way she’s looking at him is different now but T.J. can’t tell if it’s better or worse. “We met Iris.”

“And she was so nice, though obviously in love with Amber,” Cyrus says. This gets sounds of affirmation from all except Jonah who shrugs. 

“I never saw it.”

“You never see it,” Andi, Buffy, and Cyrus all chorus back at him, different levels of fondness or exasperation. T.J. wonders what the story is there. Though, if it’s anything like the one he heard from Amber, he can probably guess.

“They’re actually dating now,” T.J. says, hoping to steer the conversation away from his and Amber’s relationship. He loves his sister, and even likes her these days, but that wasn’t always the truth. “They were roommates and finally admitted their feelings. When Iris moved out of her room, they had an extra, so I moved into their place when I went to college.”

Andi is nodding. “That’s smart. Cyrus, Buffy, and I all the split the rent here and we’re still eating mostly junk food we get on sale.”

“The stipend they give us on sports scholarship is not enough,” Buffy sighs and T.J. can commiserate with that. He holds up his half-eaten muffin in a toast. 

“Hey, at least you and Cyrus are on scholarship,” Andi pouts. “Liberal arts college is the worst financial decision I’ve ever made.” 

“But it’ll all even out when you’re a world famous artist and we can fly out to France to see your new art gallery in the Louvre,” Cyrus encourages in a way that feels more sincere than most. 

“Yeah, and you can represent Jonah when he gets sued for what he’s done to his apartment,” Marty snickers.

Jonah kicks up a fuss and the others fall into bickering over something T.J. clearly does not have enough information on. Instead, he turns his attention back to Cyrus, where it had been threatening to float all evening. 

“You’re going to college to be a lawyer?” He asks, taking a bite of his muffin. Cyrus turns to him as if surprised to be T.J.’s focus once again. 

“Yeah! A civil rights lawyer, though, not a defense attorney.”

“That’s really cool.” He hoped he sounded as sincere as Cyrus had earlier, cause it’s true. T.J. wished he had a career path that was at least half as good for the world as Cyrus’s. He was only studying kinesiology because it’s what a bunch of student athletes did and his parents wanted him to have something to fall back on. He wasn’t going to be changing the world anytime soon.

Cyrus shrugs and blushes, ducking his head. He’s clearly not used to taking compliments which is a shame because they’re filling T.J.’s head like helium in a balloon. One poke and they’ll all come spilling out. 

“Yeah, well, it was either that or become a psychologist. All four of my parents are psychologists.”

“Four?”

“Mom, dad, step-mom, and step-dad,” Cyrus says with a shrug. This topic of conversation he’s far too used to. “You know how it goes.”

“Nah, actually,” T.J. glances away for a second before back to Cyrus. “My parents are the kind that should’ve split up but never did. It kind of left a bad mark on Amber and I’s relationship with them, and each other.”

Cyrus looks up at him curiously. He’s curled towards him, leaning against the back of the loveseat and subsequently propping his head up on T.J.’s arm. The weight is nice, grounding.

“Is that why we’ve never met you before?”

“Yeah,” T.J. admits. It feels safer to tell Cyrus here, where they’re practically alone, instead of to the whole group. “I left to live with my grandparents in high school. The distance helped Amber and I a lot.”

“I’m glad.” Cyrus smiles up at him. “I don’t have any siblings but Buffy and Andi are basically like my sisters. We’ve been best friends for as long as I can remember.”

T.J. smiles, feelings bittersweet. “I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone like that.”

Cyrus considers him quietly. His face is serious and strangely more confident than it had been when their conversation began. “You should.”

They fall into silence then, just observing each other, gathering their thoughts and basking in the feeling their bubble had created. T.J. was still impressed by how quickly Cyrus had sucked him in. There was just something about the young man that felt authentic and calming, like everything was going to be okay. It’s a feeling T.J. has rarely ever felt in his life.

“You know, you’re weirdly easy to talk to.”

Cyrus smiles, teasing. “It’s the four therapists as parents. You get used to listening.” 

--

Cyrus and T.J. don’t have an opportunity to be quiet together for the rest of the night. Once the other’s finished bickering, they drew the two into a game of Trivial Pursuit, and then Truth or Dare, and then Charades, which T.J. and Buffy weirdly dominated at, to Marty and Jonah’s chagrin. By the end of the night, T.J. was exhausted but happy. He’d left the house to escape the private going ons of his sister and her girlfriend and ended up meeting people he’d never believe he felt so at home with. The way they opened up and welcomed him in felt amazing, like nothing he’d ever experienced.

“It’s a great feeling, right?” Marty had said, halfway through the night, when they’d both stepped into the kitchen to grab a drink. “Andi, Buffy, and Cyrus have always been this trio. It should feel like an impenetrable wall to cross but they always open up and offer space to anyone who needs it. Jonah and I in middle school, Walker and Libby in high school, and now you.” 

T.J. had blinked in surprise, looking back out to the living room. The three roommates were doing weird poses, trying to convince the others they were real formations used in yoga, or just trying to make the other two laugh. He watches with a warm feeling in his stomach as Cyrus laughs so much he topples out of the position he was in, sprawling across the carpeted floor. 

“Can it really be that easy?”

Marty had shrugged and given him a welcoming smile. A beckoning smile. “Only if you let it be.” 

And T.J. was going to let it be. He wasn’t going to question the new familiarity between himself and these people. He was just going to accept it and holds on as long as he could. By the time he left, he had four new numbers in his phone. When he got home, there was a text from one of them. 

Buffy the Basketball Slayer

You better ask Cyrus out soon

He’s not known for making the first move and I can not handle three months of pining

Hop on it Kippen

T.J. grinned. He sent back a thumbs up emoji before pulling down the fire escape. He stumbles through his window and onto his bed, feeling dazed from both the climb and the night he had.

“Hvae fun?” Amber asks from the open doorway. That had definitely been closed when he left, but T.J.’s proud of the fact he didn’t startle at her sudden appearance. 

“Yeah.” He knows he’s grinning like a madman but he just can’t help it. 

“Good,” his sister says. She ruffles his hair, blonde matching her own. “Good night, little bro.”

“Night,” he calls as she exits the room. He sits up a little to make his next words heard. “Good night to you, too, Iris!”

There’s a pause, then, “Good night, T.J.! Sweet dreams!”

And well. There’s no doubt that they will be.

(Im the anon who asked about ray’s romantic future in the hold you tight series) — sorry, I meant if there are any plans for him to have his own reader and if there are, have we already met them? It’s also great reading his perspective re: Bucky’s actions. While it seems - to me - like he either agrees with and/or deeply understands Bucky’s actions, there were also a few instances where he agreed “yeah, that might’ve been a bit much..but”

If he does get his own reader, it’ll be interesting to see how much of that holds up LOL (“love makes you do the wacky” to paraphrase Buffy)

No apologies, nonnie! I just wanted to make sure I answered the question properly. ❤️ Though we haven't met them yet, Steve's reader works part time at the club and Nick's reader is a writer. I would love to have a reader for Ray, but not sure what their backstory would be.

Ray has a bit of a soft spot for Bucky's girl. She's not problematic, not part of the darker things some of the men are involved in. She's a good person. So he knows Bucky is being extreme and at the same time he does wonder what he'd do in his shoes?

We know he's calm (until pushed), efficient, and doesn't necessarily like getting his hands dirty, but will do what he has to. He may not bulldoze his way into your life the way Bucky has with his girl, but I don't think you could get away from Ray easily.

Love and thanks! ❤️

[fallinginaforrest]

Okay, I'm responding to your answer to my comment on the shayne & buffy post (confusing, I know, I'm sorry 😭) but I'm doing it here because I have too many thoughts lol. There's a couple of cast members I could see as several characters so I wanna know your thoughts! I first thought of Damien as Giles, because they're both into studying spooky stuff and I could see damien as a mentor figure. I could see Arasha and Angela as faith. I feel like they could handle that moral complexity really well. But I can also see Arasha as Anya?? I feel like Amanda could play Cordelia really well 💀 maybe it's just 'cause of her character in the zombies dread series, but I could see her in that kind of a role. I could see ian as Xander, idk why, I could just see him saying some of his lines. (And if we're not sticking with gendered casting) I could see trevor as willow?? They're both sweeties and to me that's enough 🫶. One last one I have is Spencer as Oz because to me they have similar energies. Very 🧍‍♂️ chill guy energy.

I could see the cast as a bunch of different characters tho so I'd love to know what you think!! Sorry this was long btw!! 😭

no don't apologise for the length im LOVING THIS. I'm going to ramble for even longer under the cut about why you're so right.

I absolutely agree with so much of this. Angela as faith actually has rewired my brain chemistry a bit so maybe i need to go and draw that huh! I think she'd be able to handle the depth and moral complexity of faith's arc alarmingly well. I mean. She played Lex Foster and I do think that Lex is a very Faith-Coded character so we have evidence that she'd do astoundingly well in that regard.

Arasha as Anya is perfect. No Notes. Not only because I think Arasha's deadpan delivery and committal to the bit give her this absolutely excellent weird girl energy that would lend itself to playing Anya so fucking well- but also because I want to see my fave be a vengeance demon and kill men. And sometimes that's okay!

Now, while i absolutely agree that Amanda would kill as Cordelia (I think she'd give cordy the underlying heart and earnestness that is necessary for her to not just be the "mean girl" initially and to make the audience like her, perhaps Olivia could play Cordelia?) I also could see Amanda playing Tara really well. Tara has this wisdom and ethereality to her that Amanda also definitely embodies. Amanda's also super spiritual and she draws tarot every day i think?? And I think because their spirituality and their understanding of the world beyond what most people experience is something that is so central to them both, Amanda would play Tara in my opinion.

I'm going to Skate past Ian as Xander because i just fundamentally agree with what you're saying and I think Ian would make Xander 100000% more likeable. Same with Spencer as Oz. So chill. Spencer as oz is actually just. Like. They're the same person.

Trevor as Willow is such an adorable thought. It's also so interesting because he wears a lot of clothes that have like plant life or motifs on them. I think it would make sense to connect him to witchcraft in some capacity. Also he would embody willow's excitement (and to an extent, naivete) really well. I also think Angela could play willow for those same reasons, i think how earnest she is and just how fiercely she loves her friends, i think she could also do willow justice.

Now, Damien as giles is an interesting one! Because i would have put him down as angel perhaps (if only to make the joke that He and shayne are ex-lovers LMAO) but he does also have that sort of deep empathy that Angel carries, as well as the social awkwardness and the Emo tendencies.

May i offer though, as a replacement giles, Tommy? I think tommy would EAT as Giles because of how fucking dry and tired he is. Both of these men are perpetually done with everything.

Anyway teehee maybe i'll draw some of these who knows!!

[kendelias]

love her already! can you tell me what's her relationship with the scobbie gang like?

its been ages since i've opened my ask box this was so long ago im so sorry LKDNFKLNFKN BUT yes indeed here's a lil bit ab margo and the scoobies!

buffy - margo... loves buffy. so much. that's her bud. when no one else wants to talk to her besides oz buffy's like "!!! but you're so cool and your fashion style is iconic and why do you hang out with these loser dudes who don't appreciate you." she meets her through oz and then brings her into the gang. buffy is always trying to get margo to come out of her shell and love herself the way she is so loved. meanwhile margo kind of recognizes buffy's fundamental... brokenness? it's kind of recognition of the self through the other. like oh we are both extremely fucked up in different ways but nonetheless we are both broken. so they kind of bridge that gap of like. one of them trying to normalize and one of them trying to recognize. you need both!!

willow - it's kind of hard to dislike willow... for a while anyway. no but like margo has always been pro girls supporting girls so even when the guy she's in love with starts dating willow she's like. alright well im gonna like this girl if oz likes her. so she and willow are friends!! at first! and then when willow cheats on him with xander... oh boy hell hath no fury like margo scorned. perma-ice queen from then on out. the girls are fighting and buffy is putting them in their get along shirt (spoiler: they do not)

xander - xander is... fine. she thinks xander is fine. at times she finds him very annoying but ya know sometimes he's funny. she has a lot of things going on with cordelia (we'll get into it <3) so when they're dating she kind of withdraws from him a little bit but like. they're never really beefing. until the whole cheating scandal he gets it just as bad as willow.

giles - loves him. that's dad dude. she hates her parents so she needs some authority in her life. thank god for giles.

angel - basically 'buffy why is this weird angsty dude hanging around you. how old is he. oh he's a vampire. hm. oh he took your virginity and it made him evil. yeah let's kill this guy.'

cordelia - okay.... look. childhood friends to enemies back to ???. that's it. that's the whole thing. like they were besties and then they fell out when margo was diagnosed and then cordelia started bullying her. so they really fucking hated each other and then buffy also forced them into their get along shirt and it KIND OF worked. like cordelia was gradually becoming a better person and eventually even kind of apologized so like. i would never call them friends but they work their way into normalcy.

oz - her soulmate, her best friend, her forlifer. she loves that mf. best friends first (the only person who would talk to her and who totally accepted her for who she is) to lovers later.... i adore them sm

[andreal831]

sorry for all the asks, i just like word vomiting thoughts on shows. this is about Legacies though so uh, sorry for spoilers

i really liked Hope and Landon especially in s1 and s2. the concept of Hope who's immortal and has all this death based trauma finding love with someone who is also unkillable was really appealing. and then s3 immediately depowered him and made him human. the minute we started seeing him figure out other powers besides resurrection, they take them away. it really bothered me.

and while i have many issues with s3 (mostly all the fake Landons and useless Ethan), there is something about Hope refusing to let him go after he died (wish it felt like the show wasn't punishing Hope for having sex) that did make sense to me. Her growing incredibly toxic in s3 does work me, i really like her stubborn refusal to let go especially since she's already lost several people that her moving heaven and earth to try and save him makes sense to me.

i just wish they hadn't totally fucked everything up elsewhere. the fake Landons were just annoying and the fact that real Landon doesn't appear until s4 where Hope kills him to kill Malivore is messy. i like their goodbye scene (though it's a shameless Buffy rip off). Hope turning her humanity off afterward? makes sense considering how bad she'd gotten in s3. and then the fucking humanity arc dragged out too long. i'm glad it was at least her family that brought it back but it took way too long. for context, Hope flips it at the end of 4x04 and turns in back on (after a really weird fight scene with herself that makes no sense and also looks bad considering this is the same universe that did doppelgängers just fine) in 4x15. the arc did not need to be 11 episodes. the only bits of no humanity arc i really liked was the road trip with clarke (he's such a flop villain but i do kinda like him) and the early lizzie & hope sire bond stuff before lizzie runs off with aurora. hope's humanity arc reminded me so much of elena's in that in dragged on too long and neither actress (with love to both of them) played it as bitchy monotony.

lastly on landon in s4, i hated it, i hate the limbo stuff so fucking much. alaric and necromancer being there felt like hell, they'd worn out their welcome (alaric should've died when hope beat him up, im sorry, and necromancer should've been gone post s2). the only bit i remotely like is landon getting closure with his mom. the rest was blue tinted filler in an already boring season.

anyway, im sorry if this tangented and made no sense. anyway guess my overall point is that legacies s1 and s2 are the only seasons i find pretty good start to finish. the other two are messes pretty equally.

I will say one of my issues with Legacies is I prefer a closed world in my supernatural fandoms. Meaning, we have a set number of supernaturals and it can't vary much from that. TVD and TO do a good job with this. Yes, they add hybrids and heretics, but it's just a combination of what we already have, and it sort of makes sense. They even started to lose me when they introduced sirens and the devil, but again, they related it back to witches.

Legacies introducing phoenix and unicorns and everything else under the sun was just too much for me. But I do like the idea of Hope being with someone who could keep up with her, even just with mortality. She already lost so much and having someone she couldn't lose would be a comfort to her. I also could understand her becoming incredibly dependent on that. After all, she's a Mikaelson. They love their toxic, codependent relationships. A lot of this had to do with the fact that they were all immortal and could only count on each other living forever with them. So, again, it makes sense for Hope to develop this.

You lost me a little bit with the fake Landons, but I have heard Legacies is essentially a rip off of Buffy. I've also seen that the no humanity lasted far too long. I know everyone loves a heartless, badass woman, but it just makes me sad. Hope deserved better than a life where she felt the need to turn off her humanity at only, what, 18 years old? I've talked about how "no humanity" just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. They claim it means no emotions, but then are showing they are annoyed or frustrated or angry, all emotions. It's basically just them not caring about consequences and making the worst possible decisions.

I also have no idea who Clark is. But I have seen people like Hope and Lizzie and were excited to see Aurora back.

The limbo thing I have heard about. I feel like the show just kept getting rid of the afterlife but then essentially bringing it back but calling it something else.

I think it's so interesting that you only like the first two seasons. So many people have told me I just have to get to the later seasons and it gets better in Season 4. Again, I think people just like Hope behaving like a knock-off-version of Klaus. Which is just not my cup of tea.

Thanks for explaining all of that. I don't mind spoilers since so many of my mutuals love Legacies so I've seen a lot of it through edits.

[twosomeofcuteness]

Felt bad for teasing Celia about how they weren't going to be normal about amends and decided to watch it in solidarity. anyway here are da notes

I'm sorry the acting is non-existent here. What even is this

Fun fact that verse (the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want) was my mom's favourite :) and I hate that it was in the same scene as Angel :/

Buffy you're better off without that sad puppy dog

Twitchy???? Uh yeah the subject of Angel happens to be very traumatic for giles but let's not ignore the fact that you don't wanna talk to him about it because you feel guilty about everything that went down last year

"it must be the whole Angel killed his girlfriend and tortured him thing" I'm going to chew drywall

I HOPE HE HAS THE HOLIDAY BLUES FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY

You said the q word buffy that's your fault

Cordy </3

Willow shut up you did a bad thing let Oz get all his thoughts out (sweetie I love you but you fucked up!)

Okay cuties

Yes more faith gimme gimme

Well maybe you should kiss??? Might help you get over angel??

Buffy you can't invite your watcher (who I definitely didn't sleep with) to Christmas because he wouldn't want to come (it'd be awkward cause he and I fucked and you don't know that yet) -Joyce Summers

I'll take the dead tree, probably costs a whole lot less than any of those boring green ones

I hope you slept like shit Angel

Hi Faithhhh

Faith shut it say you'll go to Christmas dinner

Giles. Rolled up sleeves. Hot.

Ew Angels here fml

PUNCH HIM GILES

YOURE RIGHT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT GO BURN IN HELL

YESSSS THE CROSSBOW (But is it the same crossbow jenny shot him with because I'm sure he probably burned that one after everything that happened but I want it to be the same one and I want it to shoot angel)

I hope your dreams suck eat shit and die

You're right, angel, you should

Jennyyyyy

Oh gods the not touching almost touching but she can't actually touch him and it's not even actually her omigod I'm not okay

And when he turns and doesn't see her I'M CHEWING FUCKING DRYWALL HERE

Why couldn't we get jenny back instead of Angel

Thank goodness angel left

Oh ffs were in the past again

Wow it must be so hard for angel to have to live knowing he orphaned a little boy... probably way harder than it was for the little boy who got orphaned

JENNY STAY FOREVER PLEASEEE

Calendiles grandchildren :'(((

You might be over it Jenny but I'm not </3

My fucking heart

"I don't want to make you feel bad" well step aside then jenny cause I sure do. I'm ready to commit defenestration here

You know what would solve all of your problems right now? And save you having to ask your watcher for help with the vamp who tortured him and murdered the only woman he ever truly loved? Staking Angel.

IM SORRY A HALF CIRCLE WINDOW BEING VISIBLE WHEN BUFFY AND GILES ARE TALKING ABOUT ANGEL

I still don't know how we're supposed to feel bad for him

I'LL HURT HIM FOR YOU JENNY I'M OFFERING MY SERVICES

Jenny should be running her finger through giles' hair like that

Idc that it's a dream fuck off with that especially when jennys in this episode and she and Rupert can't have awesome sex, you know, on account of the fact that Jennys fucking dead!

Willow, sex won't solve problems. Not when said problems were cause by you cheating and you only just reconciled

Let him burn idc

LET HIM BURN

Oh buffy </3333

Let it Snow (after Angel burns)

Anyway all I want for Christmas is my jenny back and also for angel to burn

Ffs snow ruined angels death

I absolutely hate how the episode ends with them looking all couple-y like fuck off give me calendiles. Oh wait, you can't. In fact, you spent the ENTIRE EPISODE REMINDING ME THAT JENNY'S DEAD BECAUSE ANGEL FUCKING KILLED HER FUCK RIGHT OFF WITH THAT ENDING

[carygrantsbeard]

s4... tell me your buffy thoughts thus far!

Hiii sorry im responding a bit late i just wanted to properly answer!!

Okay SO! I’m really enjoying the new dynamics I haven’t watched in a few weeks so I’m still in the middle of the season but I’m really liking it so far esp the way they all have to navigate their new roles with each other especially the Scooby gang now that they’re not with each other all the time. I’m liking what they’re doing with the organization and obviously I can tell it’s gonna go wrong it’s just really nice to see it creep up. It makes me sad because I know Buffy’s probably really happy she gets to have more support from people who are actually trained (no offense to the Scooby gang) and who really really appreciate all her abilities it’s like not only does she kind of belong bc she doesn’t have to hide what she does but she’s admired and they want more from her!! Again it’s gonna go awry soon I’m scared she’s gonna be heartbroken 💔

I think the show’s doing well to fill the gap Angel left, it feels very different but not bad. I do miss Angel and Cordelia a lot I really thought he would be in the show way longer. Idk how unpopular of an opinion this is but I don’t care much for Anya, sorry women 😔 I know she’s meant to be funny but she’s not Cordelia-funny like her quips just never make me laugh… and on paper I’d be into her relationship with Xander but it’s just not clicking for me and I wish they’d have more going on for him…and for Giles. But I guess that’s where their characters are in their development they have to find their own roles.

Considering how many of the characters aren’t there anymore I think it’s still rlly good bc a show can get really bad when that happens but I like the transition. And I love how they’re incorporating more spike but I’ll miss him interacting with Angel. And I miss Faith SO MUCH she’s my favorite character. I guess some people think angel is boring but his trauma is such a never ending source like things always come back to him no matter good he tries to get, idk he just makes any interaction with other characters so good. My favorites were of him with Faith ugh…💔

Im just wondering how they’re going to treat this plot esp with the next seasons bc shows tend to try to find higher and higher stakes and it ends up not being very much about the characters anymore so I hope it won’t fall into that. I’m enjoying Buffy getting to be hopeful with Riley and thinking she could have a life where she doesn’t need to hide who she is but at the same time won’t need to lose her humanity but us as viewers can obviously feel all the upcoming downfall. Like at least with Angel she knew what he was and that it’d be impossible in the long run but now she’s not guarded at all so it’s like knowing a train wreck is coming…all in all I don’t think I’m regretting the hs part of the show but it’s more the characters I miss!

[waterloggedsoliloquy]

for the ask game: 3, 6, 16, 19

3 was answered!

6.) speaking of tv adaptations, why would yours get cancelled? (other than capitalism)

i dont get this question bc short of ending it early outta burnout every single reason i can think of a show getting cancelled is due to capitalist pressures or motivations

16.) imagine the entire story takes place but in the meantime the characters all also have tumblr. what kind of (terrible) tumblr posts would happen?

all of them are consummate posters. its the hs dna.

sicely: barely any blog presence. stays in their lane. fandoms include star wars, fallout, firefly, buffy, pokemon. likes all of antheas posts. has a sideblog for their comics and music.

anthea: flowers, recipes, web weaving. in troll-classic fashion posts wrong things to piss off her friends sometimes. keep em guessing. fandoms include sailor moon, cardcaptor sakura, ptutu, fullerverse

ari: blog is 50% journal for schoolwork/personal research, 50% x files and doctor who fanfic. other fandoms include psych, fullerverse, death note, pathologic

lucerne: runs a character askblog and also has a surrealist webcomic that went viral that people are obsessing over what it could possibly mean, if its ironic, or what the author is trying to convey and who they are. lucerne aint telling. Fandoms include OTGW, Gundam, Akira, indie and foreign horror films.

opal: im sorry to say that opal would believe misandry is real and would dedicate a not insignificant portion of his blog to it.Is physically incapable of not interacting with things that make him mad so hes constantly getting into dumb bullshit fights. Fandoms include Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh, JJBA, one punch man, steven universe.

jiro: anime gifsets and dedicated liveblogging. Sends anon hate on opals behalf to his enemies, getting him in the crossfire and then hes all like WHATD I DO TO WARRANT THIS as if its not abundantly obvious its him doing it. Fandoms include gundam, nge, akira, star wars, sailor moon, hxh

diane: actually uses her blog like a Web-log. posts long diary entries about her interests, essentially mini-essays, at regular intervals. fandoms include steven universe, gravity falls, otgw, hilda, she-ra, mlp.

fred: reblogs poetry and ceramics inspo mostly, posts his own ceramics progress shots and screenshots of his animal crossing towns. fandoms include gravity falls, otgw, mlp, sailor moon, pokemon

19.) describe the sillies you think about but that dont go in the story.

ari and anthea are in a silent prank war and have been for as long as anyone can remember. they have rules that they adhere to rigidly, despite never having discussed them with each other ever. if in each others presence they will deny such a war exists, but will talk about it privately. opal and sicely are making a webcomic on a rudimentary geocities page, it has over 100 pages. lucerne and jiro watch mecha anime on vhs in his basement playroom. diane keeps bringing home wild animals as pets and fred keeps secretly releasing them bc he doesnt want a fucking squirrel in his house. midas collects snowglobes and those little glass animals. araceli will stop mid-fight to infodump about cetaceans and her only friend for the past few years has been a talking bird she loves to argue with. thomas thinks canned coffee and a cigarette is a full breakfast and has a collection of vampire erotica

[imsorrythatusernameistaken]

Buffy at some point talking to Tara about the council like:

Buffy being like “oh ya the council did this thing called The Cruciamentum.”

Tara’s head snapping up from a book like “ what? They did what?”

“ oh ya I had to do this thing called The Cruciamentum to make sure I was Slayerie enough for the council. It’s like a lab practical, but with death and terror.” “They have a trial literally called The Torture?” “Is that what that means?” “Ya that’s the most literal interpretation.” Buffy was quite for a moment before she started cackling “I’m sorry, I’m sorry I know it’s supposed to be serious. I’m just imagining Talvars he was the guy who- He was like.” She put on a dour voice “ Its a long standing tradition that we try to kill you on your 18th birthday. We frankly thought a demon would have done it for us by now, but at any rate we don’t want you getting any ideas about being a respected human instead of our personal weapon in the battle against evil. You’ve done very well and should feel honored to be part of this time honored tradition.” “ Im imagining the conversation when he gets home from work.” “Honey I’m home. Hi sweetums how was The Torture? Was it good? Did you put a 18 year-old Californian high schooler in her place? You big strong man, you.”

Buffy s1e09/S1e10 opinions

Hell yeah puppet episode. I was surprised to hear that some people really dont like the computer demon episode for some reason. Like is it kinda shlocky and has it aged aged like eggnog? Yeah. But its funny. I love the shlock tbh. Call me a fake fan but I might have even preferred it over the abgel episode. I kinda prefer the shlock over whatever they were doing with angel.

I know buffy is the slayer but principal Snyder is the one who really slays. When he started talking I listened. The last principlay got eaten but this one eats. Mr Flutie was a beta male with no spine.

"But he was eaten. You're in ny world how" (musical sting) (how long til he dies too. Part of me hopes he survives til the end. I wanna run bets on like which one of these side characters are gonna die.

How many times has willow been flirted with the monster of the week? I guess only twice. I hope this doesnt become a pattern.

Im realisong now i think i kinda prefer the non vampire episodes to the vampire episodes. I guess theyre not as "plot important" but idk. I like the variety.

Does her mom not pay attention to what happens at her daughters school? "Whats wrong are you upset?" Someone was murdered of course shes mad about them just going on with the talent show like normal. Thats crazy you should fucking cancel it til you catch tbe murdered. Principal snyder gave birth to me and breastfeed me but i cant forgive this.

Why is the dummy being alive so far out of the question. They treat her like shes stupid but like. Idk, thats not that much more wacky then the like mantis woman. This kinda reminds me of victorious.

The dummys a good guy? Thats so Stupid. Not even in a good way.

I didnt like this one as much. It felt kinda confused and aimless. It felt like they had an idea for a twist but then you look down and theres the more minutes.

S1e10 thoughts below

Willow being afraid of spiders feel so in character. Also we now have phobias for both willow and buffy which is interesting. Buffys phobia kinda Makes me think of her dynamic with angel. A ventriliquest dummy is basically just tricking the audience into believing that something unalive is in fact alive. Kinda like what happened wirh angel. Thats kind of a stretch but i think its interesting even if unintentional. Willows prpbably scared of spiders just cause spiders are freaky :-/.

I bet these D listers probably shit themselves when they see the three weirdos walking over to you. Theres a sixty percent chance you'll get killed by the monster of the week before long.

Holy shit buffys nightmare is so much worse then everyone elses. I mean in the main group. I guess its not as bad as the girl whow as nearly bear to death as punishment for her tobacco dependency but also i dont know if that was a nightmare technically.

Okay why does the syart of Xanders clown nightmare is a swastika just spray painted on the wall. He also acted like nazis were his equivilant fear earlier in the episode. What is this implying???

Oh shit buffys getting burried alive. Is this a isttg referance??? (Joke)

Oh but unironically the fact that buffy being buried alive is niles nightmare is actually delicious.

All things said and done i think buffy is the big loser. Like the rest of em got temporary agony or embarasssment. But i feel like being told to your face by your dad that "sorry, i dont love you anymore" basicslly. That shit would stick with you certainely.

[nat-alianovnaromanova]

things that feel more like a black widow movie than the black widow movie go:

- do i have to say it. i will. suspiria

- buffy s3 ep12 helpless except obviously natalia has never trusted an authority figure in her life. she obeys them but the idea that they would protect her or worry about her wellbeing is laughable. so in this sense its not about the betrayal re: what giles does to buffy seeing as she constantly expects something to happen but just because she knows its coming doesnt mean she doesnt have a brief moment of terror where the loss of her capabilities leaves her absolutely manic with fear

- the last third of mulholland drive (2001) where laura harring is angry and paranoid. also the obsessive dynamic is similar to nat and yelena’s

- laura palmer. the red room. vibes

- exit music for a film by radiohead. sorry

- a short term effect by the cure

- they got like ten percent of her right in catws i will not lie. “is this the smithsonian im here to pick up a fossil” slay queen

- hmmm lady lazarus by sylvia plath. specifically here:

- velvet crowbar by lana<3 if someone made buckynat into a campy arthouse neonoir spy film an instrumental of it would play over a scene of them fucking with the exact same amount of passion as spike and buffy in that episode where they fuck down a house

- every time richard mentions camilla’s lovely ankles in the secret history

- the first 15 seconds of the change (in the house of flies) mv looks like the apartment she hides in when she escapes from the red room for the first time

- that which resembles the grave but isnt

there r more i just cant think of them. its not that hard to find any considering the bw movie doesnt feel like a bw movie but rather a half-baked american feel-good family movie with cool explosions and a flimsy storyline to make natasha look like a badass. they didnt even give her cool outfits OR a decently scary antagonist that isnt just a pathetic old man OR use any of the immaculate source material they had. whatever

[thatonesquintern13]

episode two - scar tissue:

• why did she sleep in 1999!! girl get back in that pond 😭

• yeah no, alice didn’t think about her mom’s trauma even once before running off

• okay now that i’m rewatching this, does dell know about the time travel too? like why’s she so chill

• oh never mind she’s just trying to play it cool for kat.

• “who’s your dad?” “ew! obviously not you, dude” alice please cut the boy some slack 😭

• i love the small town rumor mill. like ofc the whole school knows she was missing

• i don’t remember dell’s friends name, but i remember loving her.

• no, sorry brady, if you wanted minute by minute updates on alice MAYBE you shouldn’t have a girlfriend 😤

• not the true crime book on jacob.

• WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT LAST NIGHT alice please work on some decorum 😭

• although it could easily be explained that he’s friends with her mom so obviously they know each other outside of school. well but, everyone knows she was missing so that’s suspicious i guess.

• “do you know what i know?” “what do you know…?” okay rachel and joey

• “i’m alice like my mom’s friend alice, but also like me alice…” time travel is so confusing

• i love that elliot has been murder board-ing alice’s jumps for like a decade and a half

• yeah it can’t be healthy that dell won’t even talk about jacob 😭

• “you don’t have a job! you have nowhere to go.” she’s just like me fr 😔

• kat shit talking her friend’s husband lmaooo landry women always gettin themselves into Situations

• oh they were nemeses!!! my b. forgot about that

• the fact that no one has even told alice what happened to jacob!!! come on.

• “damn” number 2

• dell is absolutely right, kat should not write the book (even though i’d read the heck outta it)

• elliot and kat in the tree house 🥹 likely place for them to be 🥹🥹

• “do you remember our friend alice?” “ᵘᵘᵘʰ ʸᵉᵃʰ ᵏᶦⁿᵈᵃ” elliot’s subtlety strikes once again

• “you just moved here” “six years, rita.” rita is so me

• not the hair tuck 🤭 dell, girlie GET UP

• the landry women DO need closure. you’re absolutely right, rita.

• dell keeps saying she didn’t ask kat to come home but like she did write the letter!! even if she didn’t send it, she had to kinda want this

• kat not only faces the mortifying ordeal of going back to your hometown and running into everyone you went to high school with, but also has to face the ptsd that comes with all of them knowing your brother and dad died 🤧

• present day alice being so much like colton bc she spent formative years hanging out with him in the past 😭😭

• “i wish that you had met her” oh buddy. it might be crazy what im bout to say…

• oh jacob was 9 when he went missing, not 6.

• how does alice not know buffy and giles but does know how to use a microfiche

• okay if i drove by the place my husband died every day, i probably also would do everything i could to move on.

• “i lost my whole world in three months” ugh poor dell 😭😭

• i honestly forgot how SAD this show actually is.

• “a landry never gives up hope” “she does. if she’s the only one left waiting” ☹️

• i see where kat is coming from, bc anything could have happened. but come on it’s been over 20 years…

• kat and dell just both miss their boys so much ): and it’s fascinating to see how they play that complicated back and forth of grieving in different ways while also avoiding just how much they need each other to do it.

• elliot is always gonna be there for kat 🥺

• woah wait the family almanac is from the same year the chase from the beginning takes place 😟 (it’s in huge font right in the middle idk how i didn’t notice that the first time)

• surely that’s not going to come into play in s2 🥴

• elliot taking kat’s hand WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING I-

• brady really never understood the landry family dynamic did he

• “maybe i’ll get see the best parts of my history repeat itself” UGH

• jacob’s teddy bear ):

[adrienneleclerc]

can you write an xavier thorpe x reader who is native and a witch. i never see any native readers on here and im native, black and latina. and although i'm also latina and black i barley see any native and i want my native besties to feel incluced.

Although it definitely would be better for you and your native besties and more accurate for an actual native to write a fanfic like this, I WILL TRY MY BEST!!!! Sorry if it came out too Scooby Doo/Supernatural/Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Spooksville, I hope you like it though.

Wendigo

Paring: Xavier Thorpe x Native!Reader

Summary: There is a new monster in Jericho that has replaced the Hyde.

Warning: Maybe spelling errors. Since I am not native, please correct me on ANYTHING that you find wrong or inaccurate

A/N: the lore of the monster has been taken out of Native American lore and little bit from Supernatural.

Like many witches, Y/N used herbs to make potions and follow spells in her spell book. She was following the steps correctly and was about to say the incantation when Enid comes bursting in her dorm.

“Y/N, Y/N, you would not believe what happened.” Enid said, out of breath.

“What happened? Did the Hyde escape?” Y/N asked.

“No, but now there’s a new monster. People have gone missing, no one knows what it is but these people have started going missing when we were on break. I swear if Jericho starts blaming Nevermore again, I am going to die.” Enid said.

“Okay, relax, does Wednesday know about this monster?” Y/N asked. That’s when Wednesday came in with Enid’s laptop.

“I started looking at Jericho’s news website, trying to find any other missing persons report, so far we are dealing with a Hyde, they haven’t killed. So far, they’re just missing.” Wednesday said.

“If they’re just missing, then how do you know it’s a monster instead of it being normal?” Y/N asked.

“27 people have gone missing, Y/N. 27 people. All 27 of them had families who claimed they were going on hikes or walks in the woods at night, claiming it calms them.” Enid said.

“Who the fuck goes to the woods at night?!? Like common sense people!” Y/N exclaimed.

“It’s Jericho, I don’t think these people have common sense.” Wednesday said and Y/N shrugged, agreeing with her, “I say we head to the woods and see what’s out there.”

“You have learned nothing from the Hyde, have you?” Y/N asked Wednesday.

“Try living with her.” Enid said.

“Well I’m obviously not going alone. I’m not dragging Eugene with me again, you two are my closest friends, if you bring it up again, I’ll deny everything. Y/N, Can you ask Xavier to come with us?” Wednesday asked.

“Sure, hopefully he says yes.” Y/N said.

Now in the art shed.

“Absolutely not!” Xavier shouted.

“Oh come on, Xavi, please come with us.” Y/N said.

“I mean nom there’s no way you’re going on a an adventure with Wednesday Addams, Eugene almost died.” Xavier said.

“But he didn’t! Come on, just come with us.” Y/N begged.

“Alright, fine.” Xavier said and Y/N kissed him thank you.

“Perfect! So here the backstory: people have gone missing, almost 30 people in the last 3 weeks have gone missing in the woods. Granted, they’ve gone at night so that’s their fault, but there’s no way it’s a coincidence.” Y/N explained to Xavier.

“Fine, so are we going tomorrow?” Xavier asked. Then Wednesday and Enid entered the art shed.

“We’re going tonight. We’ll hide in the trees so we could see the creature.” Wednesday said.

“I’ve been working on an invisibility potion, maybe we could use it too, better our chances.” Y/N said.

“Alright, Let’s go, here are some flashlights.’ Wednesday said, taking out four flashlights from her backpack. They decided to walk to the Jericho woods. Then a twig snapped. Enid held onto Xavier’s arm.

“Did you hear that?” Enid asked frightened.

“You stepped on a twig, Cupcake.” Y/N said. They walked further into the woods when there was a loud growl.

“What was that?” Enid asked.

“That’s definitely the monster, quick, drink the potion and climb the trees!” Y/N exclaimed. Each person drank the potion and climbed different trees. When Y/N made it to the top, she saw the monster. It’s bones were showing, the monster looked like an ashy gray color, the footprints it left behind were bloody. “It can’t be.” Y/N whispered and the monster growled again and walked away, everyone got off their tree. “We need to go, now.”

“No way, we need to follow it.” Wednesday said.

“You Don’t know what it is Wednesday!” Y/N shouted.

“Oh, and you do? Enlighten us, Y/N.” Wednesday said,

“It’s a Wendigo, okay? My parents have told me stories about the wendigo back on the reservation, now let’s go before it comes back.” Y/N said,

“What’s so bad about a wendigo?” Xavier asked.

“It’s a cannibal! And if you haven’t noticed, it’s about 13 feet tall! It will kidnap us, take us to its cave, and feed off us, now please, let’s go back to Nevermore.” Y/N said. They walked to Nevermore and stayed in Xavier’s art shed to talk about the wendigo.

“What’s the story behind the Wendigo? When I was searching the book of outcasts, it never mentioned a wendigo.” Wednesday said.

“It’s from Native American folklore, according to the lore, Wendigos should be out in Canada or the Great Lake Region, even Minnesota. I don’t understand how a wendigo can end up in New England, though.” Y/N commented.

“If Wendigos are not supposed to be in Vermont, then how come there’s one here?” Enid asked.

“I Don’t know, maybe this person turned into a Wendigo, I don’t know what else could have happened.” Y/N said, pacing back and forth, she have heard of Wendigos, but she never knew they existed. Doesn’t matter if she was a witch or not, Wendigos are a completely different territory.

“How does someone turn into a Wendigo?” Wednesday asked.

“Okay so back when there were super cold winters and people such as native Americans and settlers were stranded, there was no food, they could build a fire, they couldn’t hunt. They got extremely hungry and resulted to cannibalism. Of course there are myths that say if you eat human meat, it gives you…abilities. Like you’ll be superhuman technically speaking. The only problem is, once they resulted to cannibalism, it’s hard to stop and then the more you eat human flesh, you become something nonhuman, ergo, the Wendigo.” Y/N stated.

“I’m gonna be sick, how can someone result to cannibalism?” Enid asked.

“How should I know. Wednesday, do you think you can use your psychic power to see how this Wendigo came to be?” Y/N asked.

“I’d have to touch something. Xavier, you must have at least a sketch of the Wendigo or where it may be hiding.” Wednesday said.

“I’ve been having dreams about a monster, I just never knew what it meant, never had dreams this intense since the fucking Hyde. Here’s some sketches, look at them and see if you can find anything.” Xavier said. The girls looked at the charcoal sketches and Wednesday could identify a cave.

“This cave, I know where it is. Back when Tyler was helping me, before I knew he was the Hyde, we were in this part of the woods. If the Wendigo is there, my visions could tell.” Wednesday said.

“Great, now Let’s go to our dorms and try to sleep, we’ll have to go tomorrow morning to the cave,” Y/N said.

“Why the morning?” Xavier asked.

“Wendigos only come out at night, obviously. Wednesday touches the cave, she gets a vision, we kill it.” Y/N said, they went to their dorms but Y/N went to spend the night with Xavier.

“I’ve been thinking about the Wendigo, how are we going to kill it?” Xavier asked.

“Well according to the lore, they can be killed by silver.” Y/N said.

“Like werewolves?” Xavier asked.

“Okay technically anything Can kill a werewolf because they’re fucking human, but yeah, silver kills most supernatural creatures.” Y/N said.

“And how do we get our hands on a silver bullet?” Xavier asked.

“They’re Kinda pricey, we also need our hands on a gun and I don’t think anyone will sell us a gun.” Y/N said.

“We’ll figure it out tomorrow. Good night.” Xavier said.

The next day, Wednesday got up early and went with Enid to the woods.

“Why could Y/N and Xavier come with us?” Enid whined as she was treading through the woods.

“Y/N is sleeping in Xavier’s room, I am not interrupting that.” Wednesday said,

“Okay but Y/N actually knows about the Wendigo.” Enid said.

“I researched about the Wendigo as well. She’s right, morning is our best option to find it’s cave. While Things is off doing his five finger discount thing to get us a gun and silver bullets, I’ll do my vision, and we can fill them in when we get back to relax.” Wednesday told Enid. They made it to the cave and Wednesday had her vision. In the vision, it showed how the Wendigo came to be.

A Vermont winter, before the outcast burning. The person was with other people, they were very cold, it was windy and snowing, many people couldn’t take it anymore. Those who passed out from the cold, was sadly victim of the man. He built the fire, roasted them, and ate them. Weeks later, though winter has ended, the man still craved human flesh, he continued to kill and eat more people until meh because the Wendigo. Crackstone blamed Goody Addams for creating the monster when she had nothing to do it. Wednesday came to.

“Well now i know why there’s a Wendigo in Jericho. Let’s go before it notices we’ve been here.” Wednesday said. Enid and Wednesday quickly went back to Nevermore by Uber and came bursting into Xavier’s dorm, startling Xavier and Y/N awake.

“What the fuck?” Xavier asks, rubbing his eyes.

“Thing is getting the gun and the silver bullets, I hade a vision about the Wendigo, this creature is really old, Crackstone old, we need to kill it before other people go missing.” Wednesday said.

“Okay fine. So Wendigos hibernate every few years, it’s still winter so Wendigos are active right now.” Y/N comments, sitting up.

“And since they were hibernating when the Hyde was in town, the Wendigo woke up very hungry.” Xavier commented.

“Hence the 30 missing people. But if it’s winter, does that mean all those people are actually dead?” Enid asks.

“Yeah, they’re dead now.” Wednesday said, “but how do you know it hibernates every few years?” Wednesday asked.

“If they only hibernated for months like bears do, then Sheriff Galpin would have been on high alert, there would be a town curfew, and there would have been missing persons reports every year but the oldest missing persons report I could find online was 2010, saying they have gone to the woods to catch fireflies or some shit like that.” Y/N said.

“So we either kill the Wendigo now or..”Enid started.

“Or let some other group of Nevermore kids kill the Wendigo in 13 years.” Y/N said.

“Better today so the Wendigo doesn’t kidnap other people.” Wednesday said. Right on queue, Thing entered the room with a plastic bag, with a gun and silver bullets. “This is what we’re going to use to kill the Wendigo. I know how to shoot.”

“I could distract the Wendigo if necessary. Especially since you have to be within close range of the Wendigo to shoot it’s heart with a silver bullet.” Y/N said.

“Why do you need to be close?” Enid asked

“The density of silver bullets are not as heavy as a lead bullet, therefore don’t have as much power, closer range means better chances.” Wednesday explained. “And we’ll go tonight.”

“So get up and get dressed, we have to go to class.” Enid said, leaving the dorm with Wednesday. Y/N used magic to out on her uniform.

“I’ll meet you downstairs for breakfast,” Y/N said, kissing Xavier goodbye.

The school day was normal, Y/N was sitting next to Xavier, they were good, when it was lunch time, the four of them sat at a table together to discuss the plan. When the time actually came to execute the plan, everyone was very nervous. Even Wednesday was nervous about what would happen tonight.

“Okay, I have a spell book full of defensive spells, also some healing spells in case anyone is hurt. Hopefully we don’t need those.” Y/N said

“The monster is 13 feet tall, we’re in the trees. Enid can’t wolf out on command which is very disappointing, Xavier has silver tip arrows, Y/N have magic, I have a gun. We go in different trees, Enid can stay with me.” Wednesday said.

They go in trees, a perfect height for Wednesday to shoot it’s heart, they heard the Wendigo roar. The Wendigo was far away from Wednesday tree so she couldn’t shoot it. Y/N had to use magic to try and push the Wendigo closer to Wednesday. When that didn’t work, Xavier used his arrows. So Y/N and Xavier were both attacking the Wendigo until it was close enough for Wednesday to shoot it and the Wendigo fell, causing the trees to shake. They all got down from the tree.

“What do we do with the body?” Xavier asked.

“We burn it. Incendio.” Y/N said and everyone stepped back as the Wendigo was set on fire.

“We’re never going to have a normal school year, are we?” Enid asked.

“We’re outcasts who go to a school for outcasts, school will never be normal.” Y/N said.

“Will people notice if we just leave it burning?” Xavier asked.

“Probably, but who cares, let the police take care of this, let’s go.” Wednesday said and they went back to Nevermore. “Thank you for helping me by the way,”

“Wow, the Wednesday Addams thanking us, I can’t believe it.” Y/N said and Wednesday shoved her. “But no problem.”

“I’m definitely going to have nightmares about the Wendigo, it’s face is so, deformed.” Enid said.

“Welcome to my world,” Xavier said. Enid and Wednesday went ti their dorm while Xavier and Y/N went to the art shed. “How was your your first time fighting a monster?”

“Awful. I like the research portion, hate the fighting.” Y/N said,

“Hopefully this is the last monster we’re facing…until next year anyway.” Xavier said.

“Not funny. But thank you for agreeing to help us.” Y/N said.

“Like I was going to let my girlfriend put herself in danger without me.” Xavier said,

“Anyway, it meant a lot. You gonna sketch the monster again?” Y/N asked.

“I’m thinking about sketching you.” Xavier said.

“Oh, am i your muse?” Y/N asked jokingly.

“You are actually, yeah.” Xavier said, leaning in to kiss Y/N softly but passionately.

“If we keeping going like this, you won’t stop.” Y/N said. Xavier began sketching Y/N and then showed his finished product to Y/N. “Looks beautiful.” Y/N then kissed him, it was nice to have a soft moment like this after risking their lives tonight.

The End
