thinking about how Billie probably gets a lot of her clothes (tops and dresses, at least) tailored so as to not be gappy where she doesn't have any boobs and to sit nicely on her chest so that she still looks cute all the time

Y o u n g L o v e
Pairing: Tate Langdon X Reader
⚠️ Warnings: none ⚠️
Listen to this song while you read:
Tumblr media
You slipped into the cold black sheets that adorned your mattress as you prepared yourself for sleep. It was an autumn night and you were ready to fall asleep listening to the rain patter against the glass of your bedroom window. The red panes cast an eerie glow over everything and made your room illuminated in the color. There was something soft and beautiful about it; something you couldn't put your finger on that made you feel as though you were safe and comfortable. Ironically, you were living in a house full of ghosts.
But they were not bad.
Your head hit the pillow and your eyes met the ceiling. It had only been a month since you've moved into the infamous Murder House, yet you were content. The house may have been old and the people may have been rude, but you found yourself here. And you were grateful.
"Hey."
You felt the bed dip next to you and you moved over to the left side to make room for Tate as you participated in your nightly routine. His hand met your back as your face met his chest, your hands reaching up to play with his hair. This is where you felt the safest. Surrounded by the smell of cigarettes and the cashmere of your boyfriend's sweater. The feeling of a now warm bed and the arms resting delicately over your frame. You wouldn't trade this for the world.
Tate kissed you softly on the head; the rain crashing against your window as the storm's intensity increased. Thunder rolled in and made the quiet house alive with the noise of the sky and the universe above. And amongst it all; you were holding your favorite part of the universe in your arms. His short breaths hitting the top of your head and the sound of his heartbeat resonating through his chest signifying that he was both comfortable and in love.
"Hey. Enjoying the rain?" You softly asked him.
He smiled and let out a short laugh. "Of course I am."
He moved your hair out of your face so that he could look you in the eyes. Tate has done a lot of bad in this world. He wasn't always the sweet and loving person you knew him as today. There was a time when his name brought people fear and pain instead of admiration and peace. You were lucky to know him now; you had gone most of your life thinking that people could never change but here he was. Living proof that people aren't always what they seem.
"I love you so much." He said as his gaze met yours. "And I wouldn't trade you for the world." He planted another kiss to your forehead before smiling down at you once more in his arms. In his mind, that's exactly where you belonged, even though there were times where he didn't believe he deserved to have you there. Times when he was alone and found his thoughts drifting to you as they usually did. Times when he saw you leave the house and remembered that you were very much alive. That you still had things to do and people to meet and experiences to have. He felt so selfish for keeping you to himself sometimes knowing that the house was all he could offer you besides from himself. And it crushed him.
As guilty as he felt, having you here tonight made all of his negative thoughts disperse. What had he been so nervous of? Why had he originally fought against the idea of loving you when he first saw you move in? Why had he tried to avoid every attempt of contact you made? Why did he try to convince you that your feelings for him were invalid because you didn't know the truth? It was only when you did find out and you agreed to continue loving him that he let his walls come crashing down.
You still loved him despite his past and the people he's hurt. You still offered to be here and to hold him on nights like these where the loneliness oftentimes took over. You still wore his sweaters and snuggled with him when he felt anxious. You still danced to Nirvana even though it wasn't your taste in music. You still wanted him. And that was more than he could ever ask for.
"Are you okay?" You asked, reaching up to touch his face.
"I'm absolutely perfect."
Lying there, you both fell asleep holding each other and letting the rain drown out the sound of your hearts beating for young love.

Press: A Thorough Breakdown of All the Marvel Easter Eggs on WandaVision
Tumblr media
POPSUGAR: WandaVision has finally arrived, and it’s chock-full of hidden goodies for Marvel fans to devour! While the series is built upon a mystery that we’ll be spending a reported nine episodes trying to figure out, the smallest details in each episode provide clues on where the show is heading. From supermarket banners to foreboding commercials, viewers have an abundance of references and callbacks to classic comic lore and pivotal MCU moments. Are they setting the stage for a big reveal at the end, or are they just fun details included for fans to enjoy? While we try to figure it all out, scroll through to see what we’ve gathered! And check back every week for an episode-by-episode breakdown as WandaVision progresses.
WandaVision Episode 7 Easter Eggs
The episode opens the morning after Wanda has expanded the border of the Hex, finding the Avenger hiding from the world under her comforter. The comforter in question has a hexagon pattern, which is both a nod to the overall theme of the show as well as a metaphor for how Wanda is literally hiding away under a hex.
Billy and Tommy run into the room to reveal that their video game console has been messing up. Everything in the house is glitching, trying to transform back to earlier versions of themselves.
Billy also tells his mother that his head hurts and things are “noisy.” Since the twin inherited his mother’s ability to read minds, it seems he’s able to hear the thoughts of everyone in the bubble (and near it on the outside, since he was able to hear his father when he was dying). It’s a sign that Billy’s powers are growing, which means we could see the little boy reach his Wiccan potential before the end of the season.
Wanda wanders into the kitchen as the news drones on in the background. The news station is called W.N.D.A. or Wanda. The newscaster makes pointed comments, noting that there’s “not a thing weighing heavily on your conscience,” and that they “hope your little ghosts arrived home safe last night. It’s always such a treat to see those creepy kiddos out and about once a year.” The comments refer to Wanda’s building guilt at her actions in the previous episode and the rare appearance of children during the Halloween episode.
As Wanda makes her breakfast of “Sugar Snaps,” a nod to the big Snap of the universe, her milk carton reverts from its modern design to the old school glass bottle and back. The carton has a missing person’s ad on the back with a picture of a little boy on the back. This could be a reference to the oft-mentioned absence of children of Westview, and what could have happened to them.
Wanda and the twins “break the fourth wall” frequently to talk to the camera in the same vein as Modern Family.
This week’s theme song sounds similar to The Office’s, which also usings talking head segments like Modern Family. The opening credits are similar to the show Happy Endings and allude to the show’s focus on Wanda, even attributing the creation of WandaVision to her with the title image. Vision is notably completely absent from the opening credits, but there’s a clue that someone else is watching in a message that reads, “I know what u are doing Wanda.”
Agnes stops by to take the boys off of Wanda’s hands, which the exhausted mother is exceedingly grateful for. The twins are visibly uncomfortable with the idea, with Tommy asking Wanda if they have to and Billy telling his mother that someone has to stay to take care of her. It seems like they can sense that something is off with their “kindly” neighbor.
Wanda sends them off with Agnes, but once they’re gone, her magic goes incredibly haywire. All the furniture begins glitching again, with the stork from the painting in episode three making a reappearance. “I don’t understand what’s happening,” Wanda laments during a talking head segment. “Why it’s all falling apart and why I can’t fix it.” The off-screen interviewer responds, “Do you think maybe it’s what you deserve?” which visibly unnerves Wanda, who notes that they aren’t supposed to speak. It’s another sign that Wanda does not have as much control as she’s been led to believe.
Cue the sixth commercial, and it’s even more pointed than any of the others have been. It’s an ad for the antidepressant Nexus, for “when the world doesn’t revolve around you. Or does it?” The drug allows people to anchor themselves to the reality of their choice with side effects that include “feeling your feelings, confronting your truth, seizing your destiny, and possibly more depression.” Whew, the pointed commentary is even making me sweat. Nexus is a nod to two things: Wanda’s crippling inability to deal with the trauma she’s been through and her depression that’s pushed her into the creation of Westview, and two Marvel comics concepts. The first is the Nexus of All Realities is a kind of gateway point between dimensions from which all universes in the multiverse can be accessed. (Remember, Wanda’s next reported appearance is in Multiverse of Madness.) The second concept is the existence of Nexus beings, people who have powers that can alter reality, probability, and the Universal Time Stream. Guess which two Westview residents are considered Nexus beings? That’s right, Wanda and Vision! The commercial can either be just a cheeky nod to the couple’s seemingly infinite power or an allusion to the bigger picture that WandaVision is leading to.
While Darcy and Vision are attempting to make their way to the house, the doctor gives the synthezoid a brief rundown of his origin story, explaining how he died twice in an attempt to save the world. Vision points out that it seems like someone is trying to keep him from getting home, which spurs him to fly off, leaving Darcy behind in the blocked truck.
Billy and Tommy are watching Yo Gabba Gabba in Agnes’s lowkey creepy home. (It tickles me that Yo Gabba Gabba is more canon in the MCU than the X-Men or Fantastic Four right now.) While Billy pets Agnes’s bunny Señor Scratchy, he notes that he likes being around the older woman because he’s unable to hear any of her thoughts. “You’re quiet inside,” he says, an allusion to the idea that Agnes can hide her thoughts from him because she has magic.
Back outside the Hex, after the super-rover isn’t able to penetrate the field, Monica decides to run through it again. As she struggles through the barrier and we watch her, a montage of dialogue from Captain Marvel plays. The voices of Maria, Nick Fury, and Carol play over Monica getting through, and as Captain Marvel says “when they were handing out little kids, your mom got the toughest one,” Monica she pushes through to the other side. She lands in the stereotypical three-point-stance of all Marvel heroes, and her eyes glow, showing that she can see energy. We just witnessed the rise of Photon, folks! (Or Spectrum or Pulsar.)
Monica confronts Wanda in her home, and as their fight spills onto the lawn, the residents of Westview watch from their own homes. The delivery man is wearing a “Presto Delivery” uniform, a reference to the magic words said by magicians before they pull a magic trick.
In the first blatant show of Agnes’s ulterior motives, the older woman stops the fight when she realizes Monica is getting through to Wanda and pulls the young mother into her home. But when Wanda gets there, she notices the green bug and rabbit in the living room and the lack of her sons’ presence. When she asks Agnes where the boys are, she’s told to head to the basement, where the big showdown occurs. The scene hints at the eventual disappearance of Billy and Tommy.
Wanda notices a book on an altar, which could be the Darkhold, also known as The Book of Sins, The Shiatra Book Of The Damned. Originally a collection of papers known as the Chthon Scrolls, the book contains all the spells and ideas of the evil Elder God known as Chthon. The book is a conduit for Chthon’s power and can open a doorway from Earth to Chthon’s dimension. If that book is in Agnes’s basement, it stands to logic that she may be working with the evil god. The Darkhold emits an orange glow, which is a distinctly different color than the purple of Agatha’s magic.
Speaking of magic, Agnes finally reveals herself as the witch we’ve known her to be. Although the show tells us that “it’s been Agatha all along,” it still doesn’t ring completely true. There’s definitely more at work than just Agatha’s magic.
In the mid-credits sequence, Monica is caught snooping in Agnes’s backyard by Pietro. Her eyes seem to glow purple, the same color that signals Agatha’s magic. Does this mean she’s now under the witch’s spell?
  WandaVision Episode 6 Easter Eggs
The opening credits for episode six seem to be a tribute to Malcolm in the Middle, which ran for seven seasons between 2000 and 2006.
The entire Wanda and Vision family wear their comic book character costumes for Halloween.
There’s another reference to Thanos’s snap as Director Tyler Hayward talks about dealing with the repercussions of all the people “who left.”
The terrifying Yo-Magic commercial seems to foreshadow Vision’s future. Even though Wanda was seemingly able to bring Vision back to life, it looks like he won’t stay alive for long as it’s implied that he can’t exist outside of the Hex later in the episode.
Blink and you’ll miss the fun Disney movie Easter egg on Westview’s movie theater. The sign outside the theater shows a double feature of The Incredibles and The Parent Trap. Connecting right to Wanda’s family, The Incredibles is about a family of superheroes, while The Parent Trap is about a pair of long-lost twins reuniting.
Wanda’s changing accent has been brought up countless times by fans, and in episode six, Pietro makes a slight reference to it when Wanda asks, “What happened to your accent?” to which he quips, “What happened to yours?”
There is another reference that Agnes is actually Agatha Harkness as she is spotted wearing a witch costume on Halloween.
It appears that Vision has no memories pre-Westview, as a conscious Agnes tells him he’s one of the Avengers, and he has no clue what she’s talking about.
The episode further hints at Monica’s powers as Darcy confirms that the Hex rewrote her cells on a molecular level.
A few interactions between Pietro and Wanda have fans wondering if he might actually be Mephisto in disguise. Not only is he fully aware about Wanda creating Westview, but he makes several references to the devil and hell throughout the episode.
  WandaVision Episode 5 Easter Eggs
Wanda and Vision’s brand new house, suitable for a family of four, is reminiscent of homes in ’80s sitcoms such as Full House and Growing Pains.
When Agnes comes in to offer her babysitting help, she refers to herself as “Auntie Agnes,” which is eerily close to her comic counterpart’s nickname, Auntie Agatha.
An uncomfortable break in conversation leads Agnes to ask Wanda if she wants her to “take it from the top.” Though Wanda appears confused for a moment, she readily smoothes the conversation and carries on. Vision is visibly perturbed, though Wanda attempts to redirect his attention. It seems like the facade is fading all around.
To the surprise of their parents, Tommy and Billy age up five years while the two argue over Agnes’s break in character.
This episode’s opening sequence shows Wanda and Vision growing up, which we know didn’t happen in real life for the synthezoid. The theme song sounds very similar to those from Family Ties and Growing Pains, and consists of lyrics noting that “we’re just making it up as we go along.” Sounds pretty close to how things are going with Wanda and Vision!
When Wanda’s scans come back, they’re inconclusive and show up blank. Considering Monica gains her powers due to bombardment by extradimensional energies in the comics, it’s entirely possible that the blast from Wanda back in episode three, coupled with passing through the forcefield around Westview twice, have given her those abilities. We could be seeing the rise of Photon!
While Jimmy Woo is explaining Wanda’s backstory to the agents of S.W.O.R.D., Director Hayward asks if she’s ever used a “funny nickname” like the other Avengers. She hasn’t, in fact, she’s never been referred to as Scarlet Witch in the MCU ever. Since her powers are different from her comic book counterpart, there’s never been a reason for anyone to call her a witch.
That never-before-seen post credits scene from Infinity War has officially made its debut. Director Hayward reveals footage of Wanda entering S.W.O.R.D. headquarters to steal Vision’s disassembled body. The video harks back to a moment in the comics where Vision was kidnapped and taken apart — but still very much alive. Much like that Vision, the one in Westview has his memory wiped and doesn’t remember anything before he woke up in his new world. So, the question is whether Vision is actually alive or not. Wanda’s hallucination from episode four might suggest he’s a walking corpse, but there’s more to the story.
Jimmy mentions that Wanda’s stealing of Vision’s body violates the Sokovia Accords, which haven’t been mentioned since Captain America: Civil War. Unfunnily enough, the Accords were a direct response to the mission gone wrong in Lagos where Wanda lost control of her powers and caused the death of many civilians.
Darcy mentions that Vision is playing “Father Knows Best in Surburbia,” referencing the ’50s sitcom.
Tommy and Billy find a dog that, with the help of Auntie Agnes, they name Sparky. The Vision family has a dog with that exact name in the King and Walta comics, but he’s green. Sadly, he meets a similar fate as his live-action counterpart.
Wanda blatantly uses her powers in front of Agnes, who has seemingly handled the magic around her with ease. It’s almost as if she’s used to magic.
Darcy calls the Westview anomaly the “hex” because of its hexagonal shape. Although the magic has been taken out of the phrase, Wanda’s powers are known as hexes in the comics.
Jimmy, Monica, and Darcy try to understand how Wanda can revive Vision and control the Hex, which takes much more power than she’s ever displayed before. Monica notes that Wanda has always been powerful, being the only Avenger who was close to taking down Thanos singlehandedly, which Jimmy interjects to note that Captain Marvel could as well. Both are empowered by Infinity Stones, with Carol’s Kree biology giving her a power boost.
When Jimmy brings up Captain Marvel, Monica is visibly uncomfortable and changes the subject back to Wanda. What happened there?
Vision’s office mates learn about the sweet glory that is dial-up internet! But when he and Norm open their first bit of electronic mail, it’s a transmission picked up from S.W.O.R.D. talking about the Maximoff anomaly.
Vision breaks through Norm’s conditioning, revealing that he’s under the control of a woman (alluding to it being Wanda). He directly references his family, a conversation that Jimmy mentioned in his notes in the last episode.
The twins have aged themselves up to 10 by this point and are seemingly completely aware that Wanda has control over certain aspects of life, like time. They point out that it was Saturday when they woke up, but Wanda says it’s now Monday. She apparently changed the day to send Vision to work. Is their awareness because they also have magic or because she doesn’t control them?
Monica sends an ’80s drone into Westview after working out that Wanda’s Hex is rewriting reality to suit each era occurring in the bubble, and the drone would need no era-appropriate change. Though she attempts to speak with Wanda through the drone, Director Hayward commands agents to fire a missile at Wanda instead — directly ignoring that Monica said she doesn’t see Wanda as a danger. The action results in Wanda leaving the Hex and confronting the S.W.O.R.D. agents outside. She’s wearing the suit we last saw her wearing in Infinity War and Endgame and has her accent back, although it’s much thicker than it’s been since Ultron.
Episode five’s commercial is more pointed than any of them have been. Lagos brand paper towels directly reference the city in which Wanda accidentally killed several people in Civil War by blowing up a building. Thus, the Sokovia Accords were born.
While Wanda and the twins are searching for a missing Sparky — with no one calling out the fact that Wanda disappeared for some time — the mailman tells the boys that their mom “won’t let him get far.” It seems almost like a dig at how no one can leave Westview, like the doctor mentioned during episode three.
When Agnes reveals that Sparky died after eating too many azalea bush leaves, the boys ask their mother to reverse his death. Agnes seems particularly surprised by the idea of Wanda having that ability despite having seen other displays of her power and watching the twins age up rapidly twice. Wanda tells the twins that they can’t reverse death as there are still rules to things, which almost seems hypocritical considering her circumstances. Is she trying to say that she hasn’t revived Vision? Or is she simply trying to keep her boys from expecting too much from her?
Later that night, Vision reveals that he unearthed Norm’s repressed memories and demands to know what’s going on. He tells Wanda that she can’t control him, which she cooly responds asking him, “Can’t I?” Although the credits start rolling, their argument continues as Vision unleashes his frustration with not knowing his past and his confusion over their circumstances. Wanda tells him that she doesn’t control everything, saying, “I don’t even know how all of this started.” Vision believes it began subconsciously, but chastises Wanda for letting it get that far. Wanda reiterates that she isn’t controlling everything, which gives weight to the theory that there’s someone else behind the scenes. But who could it be if Wanda isn’t the “she” that Norm was referring to?
Mid-argument, the Vision family doorbell rings, which Wanda states she didn’t do. I’m inclined to believe her because when she opens the door, she is genuinely shocked speechless. At the door is her “brother” Pietro, now sporting the face of Evan Peters. Darcy asks the question we were all thinking as the episode closes, “She recast Pietro!?”
  WandaVision Episode 4 Easter Eggs
This episode opens with the heartbreaking reveal that Monica Rambeau was one of the people lost to the Snapture from Infinity War. She returns from Endgame’s Reverse-Snap in a hospital where she had been awaiting news after her mother Maria’s surgery.
As Monica is waking up, we hear familiar voices echoing in her head. It’s Captain Marvel calling her by her childhood nickname, Lieutenant Trouble.
As Monica weaves through the chaos of people reappearing in the hospital post-Reverse-Snap, she finally locates someone who recognizes her. Although Maria survived the surgery five years ago, she died from cancer three years ago in real time, having not been blipped with her daughter.
We finally have some information on S.W.O.R.D.! The acronym stands for Sentient Weapon Observation Response Division, rather than the meaning in Marvel comics, which is Sentient World. It sounds a little more ominous, right?
Maria’s badass legacy continues well past her friendship with Captain Marvel; according to S.WO.R.D.’s acting director, Tyler Hayward, Maria helped build the agency during its inception. She was the acting director until her death.
Tim gives Monica a mission to help out the FBI in the town of WestView, NJ, where something super freaky is going on with a missing person’s case. This confirms that WestView is, indeed, a very real place.
Welcome back, Jimmy Woo! Monica’s FBI contact is none other than Scott Lang’s parole officer and semifriend, Agent Jimmy Woo.
Jimmy reveals that a person in witness protection has somehow dropped off the map in a town that no longer seems to exist where no one recalls anyone who lived there. In an attempt to figure out what’s going on, Monica sends in a S.W.O.R.D. drone that vanishes inside the forcefield. It’s revealed to have transformed into the retro-style helicopter that Wanda picks up in episode two! We can only assume that since it’s an item from the outside world, it gained color when it entered Wanda’s reality to show that it doesn’t belong.
Darcy Lewis is back! Now a doctor in astrophysics, Darcy is called to help figure out what’s gone wrong with WestView. She’s the one who figured out a signal for the broadcast and is the owner of the hand we saw watching Wanda and Vision in episode one.
The mysterious beekeeper from episode two is revealed to be S.W.O.R.D.’s Agent Franklin, who journeyed through Westview’s sewers to investigate. His hazmat suit became a beekeeper’s uniform, and the cable around his waist becomes a jump rope as he travels through the tunnels.
Darcy explains that the sitcom that’s become Wanda and Vision’s life is literally being broadcast through the signals that S.W.O.R.D.’s viewing, with an audience and everything. There’s no explanation for how this is happening, but Darcy and company watched those first three episodes just like we did, credits and all.
Darcy also points out that Vision is supposed to be dead-dead, which leaves his presence in WestView still unexplained.
While Darcy and Jimmy can identity a majority of the neighbors we’ve met in WestView to their real-life counterparts, Dottie and Agnes are the only ones who are missing real information.
It’s revealed that Agent Woo was the voice behind the radio disruption, just as we suspected! But while we can see Wanda and Dottie’s reaction to the call, Darcy’s broadcast didn’t show the same thing. She explains that someone is “censoring” the visuals they’re receiving, which means someone knows they’re watching.
Back in the sitcom WestView, we see that Monica’s slip-up resulted in Wanda blasting her through the house and the energy field. It’s the first time we physically see Wanda using her powers again, so she still has them. But the lapse in her facade has consequences — when Vision returns from his talk with Agnes and Herb outside, Wanda hallucinates him as she last saw him in Infinity War, a corpse with his head crushed in.
It’s important to note that Vision seems to become more aware of the strangeness of their world with each episode. It makes sense because no matter how human he may seem, he’s still a synthezoid who has always been able to see beyond the superficial. It harks back to his “birth” in Age of Ultron. He’s omnipotent and always learning.
When Monica lands back in the real world, all she says is, “It’s all Wanda.” That seemingly serves as an answer to what’s going on in WestView, but it’s not a whole answer. Wanda seems just as confused and unaware as everyone else, but she is willing to stay in her “perfect” world. The question is, who put Wanda in the position to have her perfect world?
  WandaVision Episode 3 Easter Eggs
Much like the comics, Wanda magically becomes pregnant! But this time around, things are progressing much more quickly, and her doctor isn’t Dr. Strange.
The first of the episode’s weird glitches happens with Wanda and Vision’s neighbor Herb, who is attempting to saw through the brick fence separating the two houses instead of trimming his hedges. When Vision points out that his aim has gone a bit askew, Herb’s detached reaction is a bit creepy. He thanks Vision but keeps sawing through the wall! And unlike the previous weird behavior, there’s nothing that triggers the moment, especially not from Vision or Wanda.
Wanda and Vision contemplate what to name their baby boy, with Vision suggesting Billy and Wanda throwing out Tommy. (The argument becomes moot when they have twins!) These are the names of the pair’s sons in the comic, who later become members of the Young Avengers. In the show, Wanda chooses her name because it’s “all-American,” which is also a fair indicator of why her perfect reality is framed around sitcoms. Vision cites William Shakespeare as his inspiration and uses a quote from As You Like It that seems pretty on the nose. “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players” seems like a pointed reference to the fact that WandaVision is, in fact, all a show.
Wanda decorates the nursery using Simser brand paint, which is most likely a nod to Jeremy Simser, a storyboard artist for Marvel Studios and WandaVision.
The second glitch appears when Wanda says the residents of WestView always seem “on the verge of discovering our secret.” Vision has a moment of sobering clarity where he notes that something is wrong in WestView, citing the incidents with Mr. and Mrs. Hart and their neighbor Herb. A second after his says this, reality glitches and the scene starts over with Vision seemingly worry-free. The last time this happened with the beekeeper, it was clear Wanda was the culprit in turning back time, but in this case, she doesn’t seem to do anything to force the change. This suggests someone else is pulling the strings.
Wanda mentions that their child could be human or “synthezoid,” a term that originates in the comics. Although fans like to joke that Vision is an android, he’s technically a synthetic human. He’s not made of metal or machinery — in the comics, his body is composed of the bioengineering tech of Dr. Helen Cho, while in the MCU, he’s made of organic tissue mixed with vibranium and “powered” by the Mind Stone.
Vision jokes that Billy will be just like his mom, which is funny because, in the comics, Billy has magical abilities similar to Wanda’s powers. Tommy ends up having superspeed abilities like his uncle, Pietro.
It’s time for the third commercial! Much like the previous episode’s watch promotion, this break references Hydra — though a tad more directly. It’s all about Hydra Soak, and the message is decidedly more pointed than we’ve had before. “Escape to a world all your own, where your problems float away,” the announcer says. “When you want to get away, but you don’t want to go anywhere: Hydra Soak.” Marvel: Agents of Shield fans will recall that Hydra Soak HAS been mentioned on the show. During the series’s Framework arc, Phil Coulson claims that Hydra is brainwashing people using soap, so he makes his own. Is the commercial another sign that Hydra is behind the mystery of WestView? Is it a warning that no one in the town will be able to get away? And what’s that about finding the goddess within?
The actors in this ad are the same ones as the previous ones, Victoria Blade and Ithamar Enriquez. Their recurring presence might mean they have some significance in Wanda’s life. Maybe they’re her parents?
In what feels like an ominous follow-up to the Hydra Soak commercial, the doctor reveals that he and his wife won’t be taking their trip away after all. “Small towns, you know, so hard to escape,” he mutters, pointedly. I think we’re starting to get the hint, folks! Wanda mentions she is a twin and that her brother was named Pietro. It’s been a hot minute since anyone has talked about MCU’s Quicksilver — he made his debut back in Age of Ultron, the same film in which he was shot and killed.
When Geraldine lets it slip that she knows about Pietro’s death at the hands of Ultron, Wanda interrogates her and discovers her necklace bears a familiar symbol — it’s that damn S.W.O.R.D. logo, and Wanda is apparently not a fan.
In another sign that something is UP, Agnes and Herb seem to warn Vision about Geraldine. They note that she’s “brand new” to town with no family and start to say that “she came here because we’re all —” before they’re cut off. It’s worth noting that the two figures that may be MCU versions of formidable Marvel characters are the ones who seem to understand that strange things are going on in WestView. If Agnes and Herb are the MCU’s Agatha Harkness and High Evolutionary, they would definitely be the ones in the know. But why would they try to warn Vision about Geraldine if WestView is a trap?
Agnes is wearing her infamous brooch as a necklace that could be referencing an MCU supervillain mentioned before. The necklace has three figures close together, with the center figure holding what looks like a giant scythe. Is it another clue that the Grim Reaper is on his way?
Wanda literally throws Geraldine out of town — though she tells Vision that she had to run home — and Geraldine passes through what seems like a magical forcefield. While fans have been assuming WestView is a fake town, this shows us that physically, it’s a very real place. But it’s currently bubbled off with a barrier that Wanda can apparently allow people in and out of. And the song that plays as Geraldine finds herself outside the barrier? “Daydream Believer” by The Monkees. It seems pretty appropriate for a situation that feels like a surreal dream.
When Geraldine lands on the outskirts of real WestView, she’s instantly swarmed by cars and agents all bearing the S.W.O.R.D. logo. Since we know Teyonah Parris is playing the adult Monica Rambeau, it’s safe to assume Geraldine was an alias she used to go undercover in WestView. Combined with the mystery agent watching the show within the show from episode one, we can conclude that Wanda and Vision are being closely observed by S.W.O.R.D. for some reason. But they clearly aren’t the ones in control, since Monica is so easily forced out. What will they do next?
While the opening credits of this episode are a reference to The Brady Bunch, it’s the end credits that give us another clue about the big bad coming our way. Just like the previous episodes, Wanda and Vision are framed in a hexagon as the end credits roll. The symbol is so important because it’s the preferred shape of the creators at Advanced Idea Mechanics, or AIM, who are last seen in Iron Man 3. Remember the beekeeper suits that resemble AIM agents’ clothing? It seems like the evil organization might be making a comeback.
  WandaVision Episode 2 Easter Eggs
The opening credits for this episode aren’t just an adorable homage to Bewitched but a whole bevy of Marvel Easter eggs! The illustration of the moon happens to be surrounded by six stars, and we can’t help but be reminded of the Infinity Gauntlet.
When Vision phases through the floor, there’s a dark shape that looks exactly like the helmet worn by Marvel supervillain Grim Reaper hidden in the space. In the comics, he’s the brother of Wonder Man, whose brainwaves were used in Vision’s creation.
When Wanda goes to the supermarket in the opening, three references hang above the aisle! Bova Milk refers to Bova, the humanoid cow who raised Wanda and Pietro on Mount Wundagore. Auntie A’s kitty litter is a witchy reference to Auntie Agatha or Agatha Harkness, whom we’ve discussed before, and her cat-like familiar named Ebony. And Wonder Mints is most definitely a cheeky reference to Wonder Man, aka Simon Williams, the superhero who Vision’s brainwaves are based on in the comics!
When animated Wanda and Vision settle on their couch, the small figure on their side table is a statue of the Whizzer. Featured in 1982’s Vision and the Scarlet Witch, the Whizzer thought he was Wanda’s father but later discovers he was wrong. Whizzer and his wife were offered the chance to adopt Wanda and Pietro when they were kids on the mythical Mount Wundagore, but they declined.
When Wanda hears a crash outside the house, she heads out to the front, where she finds a colorful toy helicopter in an otherwise black-and-white world. Not only does the red-and-yellow helicopter have the number 57 stamped on it, but it also bears the S.W.O.R.D symbol! The number is likely in reference to Vision’s first appearance in Avengers #57, while the symbol hints to the presence of S.W.O.R.D outside Wanda’s perfect world.
The creepy, cult-like refrain spoken by the fundraiser organizers of it all being “for the children” seems to be a reference to Wanda’s involvement in the comic event The Children’s Crusade. The story follows her son, Billy, who’s trying to gain control over his reality-warping abilities by looking for a missing Wanda.
Well, here’s another blast from the angsty past! The Strücker timepiece is a very obvious callback to Hydra and Baron von Strücker. The watch bears the unmistakable octopus skull symbol of Hydra, and Strücker is the Hydra leader who recruited Pietro and Wanda for the experimentation that gave them powers. He was later killed by Ultron in his prison cell. Does anyone else hear that ticking noise? Remember good ol’ Herb? In the comics, a character named Herbert is also the High Evolutionary who runs Mount Wundagore, the very same safe haven where Bova delivered the Maximoff twins. Time will tell if the super-scientist is the same character, but it can’t be a coincidence.
Wanda and Vision’s magic show has two gems that we’ve noticed! First thing, the literal Mind Stone happens to be the design on the doors of the Cabinet of Mystery that plays a huge part in their act. Second, Wanda and Vision use the names Illusion and Glamour for their actor, which are also the names of the magicians that Vision goes to see in an issue of The Vision and the Scarlet Witch.
Though we all enjoy a good jam, The Beach Boys’ “Help Me, Rhonda” gets interrupted by someone asking, “Who’s doing this to you, Wanda?” And doesn’t that voice sound an awful lot like Randall Park’s Jimmy Woo?
While it may seem weird that Wanda shows her pregnancy in an instant, it’s in line with what goes on in the comics. Wanda uses magic to help her have children, which checks out since her husband is a synthezoid.
Oooh, that mysterious beekeeper! Not only does their presence lead to the reveal that Wanda has some control over the reality they’re in, but it also sets off some alarm bells. Even though the beekeeper’s suit bears the S.W.O.R.D logo on the back, the costume is reminiscent of the yellow costumes worn by A.I.M., a military science organization founded by Baron von Strücker. Could this be a sign that Wanda is being watched by more than one organization? And is this a hint that Hydra is back!? (Obviously, it is.)
  WandaVision Episode 1 Easter Eggs
When Wanda accidentally smashes a plate into Vision’s head, he jokes about his wife and her “flying saucers,” and she comments back about his “indestructible head.” Considering that Vision died after having the Mind Stone ripped from his head, it’s a dark joke to kick off the series.
Vision’s work tie has a visual reference to his comic-book alter ego! In Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta’s Vision, whenever the character dresses as a human, he wears a tie clip that emulates the diamond pattern on his chest.
Vision’s boss, Mr. Hart, is likely named after comic creator Steve Englehart, who created 1985’s The Vision and the Scarlet Witch with Richard Howell, a miniseries that heavily influenced WandaVision. It’s been heavily implied that Kathryn Hahn’s Agnes is the MCU’s Agatha Harkness, a witch who helped train Wanda’s magic back in the ’70s and ’80s.
When Wanda magically saves dinner, the bottle of wine she pours from is Maison du Mépris, which translates to house of contempt or scorn. As fans have pointed out since the trailer drop, this seems like a reference to the House of M comics storyline in which Wanda bends reality into a new world ruled by her family.
The Stark commercial break refers to two things: Avengers icon Tony Stark and his part in Wanda’s dark past. As Wanda and her twin brother, Pietro, explain in Avengers: Age of Ultron, their parents were killed by an explosive Stark Industries device, leaving the twins trapped under rubble. The Maximoffs were trapped by a Stark Industries shell for two days, expecting it to detonate before they get rescued. Even though Wanda eventually fights beside Tony in the future, there’s still some trauma from that experience and her brother’s death. If it weren’t for the Starks, Wanda could have been a completely different person.
The episode closes with a mysterious observer watching the “show” and taking notes on a pad with the logo of S.W.O.R.D. on the cover. For those who don’t know, S.W.O.R.D stands for Sentient World Observation and Response Department and is a subdivision of S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s a counterterrorism and intelligence agency that deals with extraterrestrial threats to world security. Expect to see them around more.

What do u think about the new filming pics of natalia, gaten, and sadie? 😶
i’m gonna try putting this under a read more but if that doesn’t work please stop reading if you don’t want any kind of spoilers !! i’ll be using my spoiler tags, too, so remember to blacklist/filter out ‘s4′, ‘st4’, and the ‘spoilers’ tags !!
seriously -- this goes in depth about set pics, audition videos, and theories. 
i’m so sorry this is so incredibly long lmao. i’m just sitting on all this s4 stuff and i want to talk about it.
bottom line, i’m excited. i’m just happy to see that they’re filming again tbh, and i hope that they’ll be staying as safe and healthy as possible and that there won’t be any more major delays.
as for the content, i’m pretty happy about that, too. i love all of these characters and dynamics pretty equally, so any content with any of them is great to me. i think there was also a pic of priah on set that day, too, but it was far away and you couldn’t really see her that well. ultimately, it seems like there will be a lot of s1 and s2 vibes with the whole school setting, as a large part of the main cast will be together at hawkins high instead of off doing their own things during the summer.
i know a ton of people want a winter season, but i personally think it’ll be spring and i think nancy’s outfit in particular kinda points in that direction. plus, i don’t think they’d skip past nancy, robin, and jonathan’s senior year or the party’s first year of high school/el’s potential first year of school ever. they could do fall again and start right where we left off in s3 with the 3 month time jump, or they could do flashbacks to the holidays and time we’ll be missing. but i think the bulk of the season will be set in spring. spring has easter, easter = resurrection, david keeps referring to hopper being alive as a resurrection, strangerwriters twitter specifically brought up making easter jokes with hopper’s name, etc.
i have to bring up the s4 audition tapes that surfaced a while ago. i know they’re a controversial topic (are they real? should we put any thought into them? do they actually reflect any part of s4 at all? why would these be open to the public if they’re legit? etc., etc.), but for this ask and for the part of me that’s grasping onto like... any potential s4 info, i’m gonna be looking at them as if they’re real.
this one is for ‘warden hatch’, who is the head of a psychiatric hospital. now, we know pennhurst is gonna be in s4. we know natalia filmed there before production shut down. people said maya was also on set that day. the scenes in this audition have him talking to two girls who happen to be very smart and have a taste for investigating. they’re obviously lying about being in college (or, at least, at that particular college with that particular professor), so i think it counts as confirmation that the two of them are still in high school, or at the very least working around hawkins. i just can’t see why nancy would be at hawkins high if she wasn’t still a student.
this one is for ‘eddie’, the ‘80s metalhead who is into metallica, loves d&d, and is a potential ally. he’s also apparently a drug dealer. so. his audition mentions hellfire a lot. ‘the hellfire club’ is the name of the first episode of s4. and now we have a picture of gaten on set in a shirt that says ‘hellfire club’. at the end of s3, in the news report, they allude to dungeons and dragons being linked to satanism. it seems like this is something the hellfire club (apparently, a club for lovers of d&d) will be dealing with. there’s also a present rivalry of ‘jocks v. nerds’ with the club and the basketball team, which we know will also play a part in s4. in the audition, ‘eddie’ is talking to ‘paul’ (”you were wearing your weird al shirt”) and ‘curtis’ (”you were wearing whatever shit your mom got you from the goddamned gap”), who are... obviously dustin and mike. they tell him that ‘fred’ (lucas) will be missing the club meeting because he has to play basketball.
which brings us to ‘jason’ and the most uh... obvious? of the audition tapes. this is a scene from a pep rally for a championship basketball game, where ‘jason’ literally name drops heather, billy, and hopper, who all “perished in that fire” (aka the cover up for the battle of starcourt). now, ‘jason’ is dating ‘molly’, a cheerleader who goes to ‘eddie’ to buy drugs (which i think is the second scene included in ‘eddie’s’ audition above). this second ‘jason’ audition has the pep rally scene as well as a scene where ‘jason’ tells the basketball team they need to hunt down the ‘freaks’ in the hellfire club (but especially ‘eddie’) because something happened to ‘molly’ and he blames them (bc of the whole drugs and satanists thing). one of the basketball players speaks up to tell him that they aren’t satanists, it’s just a d&d club. i believe this basketball player is lucas (”and how exactly is it you know all that?” “my sister, she’s like.. a total nerd. she plays sometimes.”) and the basketball team/jason have no idea that he’s affiliated with the hellfire club.
so there are a few different situations which could lead up to the scene in the pictures with dustin and max, but there’s one more audition i need to talk about first. this isn’t the full audition because the original was deleted, but mrs. kelley is the new guidance counselor at hawkins high. her audition video seems to be a scene where she’s talking to a student about their home life and their grades. the situation in the scene is very reminiscent of max’s current situation and i think the full scene even mentioned the loss of a brother or something ? so, one parent is drinking and having to work two jobs after one asshole stepparent leaves, but things are still better with them gone. i think max might be retreating a little, pulling away from the party. in fact, i think both physical and emotional distance is going to be a theme in s4. like, not only is everyone in different places, but they’re going to be drifting into new situations with new people and new interests and all these new personal conflicts, i guess.
so, if we’re operating under the assumption that the audition vids are legit, maybe the scene is after the pep rally and dustin is checking up on max. she’s been hit pretty hard by billy’s death bc despite everything, despite how messed up and complicated everything was, he’s still been right there with her for years and she had to watch him die brutally. maybe she doesn’t want to think about it and maybe when ‘jason’ mentions his loss, it brings everything to the surface. or, maybe the scene is after the hellfire club meeting. dustin could be asking if she’s seen lucas or if she wants to be his replacement at the meeting. whatever it is, it doesn’t look like it ends on a very positive note.
uhhhhh in conclusion, nancy’s outfit suggests a spring season, she should still be in school along with robin, dustin is a part of the hellfire club, max is emo, and i’m very excited and happy.

***
The road trip had been Steve’s idea; to leave their cat and apartment behind for a few weeks so they could drive out to California in Billy’s old Camaro to celebrate their two year anniversary had seemed like a great idea when he’d thought about it.
And so far, it had been.
Playing shitty car games to pass the time as they drove past rolling sceneries, visiting landmarks they didn’t care about just for the hell of it, stopping at obvious tourist traps together to mock the idiotic displays and even pulling off to the side of the road that one time to watch a tornado as it spiraled in the distance, sitting on the hood of the car to watch it move as they’d driven through Kansas- it was all so perfect. It felt like they’d grown closer in the weeks they’d spent traveling, and it was all so much better than any physical gift Steve could have ever offered up for the occasion.
And then there was Billy: beautiful, radiant, and sublime. Driving with the windows down, letting his hair blow wild in the wind as he sped along the back roads they’d elected to take, comfortable behind the wheel of his own car. Free at last from the constraints of a home life that had been too cruel to him, finally making the journey back to his origins.
It was better than Steve could have ever planned for.
They were part way through Colorado, the mid-western sun slowly descending against the backdrop of mountains they were steadily winding through when Steve said it.
“I love you.”
Billy’s profile, handsome and regal beyond compare, illuminated by the sunset, suddenly turned to look at him.  Steve smiled, pleased that he was finally able to say what he’d been feeling for so long, but Billy looked stricken. His face contorted, a mixture of emotions crossing his face that floundered between being upset and angry.  
Steve’s self-satisfied smile fell away.
“What?” Billy asked, voice strained as his grip on the wheel tightened. “What the fuck did you just say to me?”
That old anger they’d been working on tamping down together surfaced quickly. Billy kept turning his head to glance at the road and back to Steve, waiting for him to explain himself, but Steve couldn’t understand what the problem was.
“I… said I love you?”
Billy held his gaze for one long, hard second, his nostrils flaring as his breathing became steadily more erratic.
“Look, Billy, calm down, it’s not a big deal-” Steve started to say, but was cut off when Billy swerved hard enough that his seat belt locked up and cut off his words. A jolt of fear passed through him as Billy ran the Camaro off the road, pulling off to the shoulder to come to a hard stop that again had Steve’s chest straining against the seat belt’s restraint.
“What the fuck, Billy?!” Steve shouted once the dust had settled, trying to unclip the buckle to relieve the pressure. “We’re driving through a fucking mountain range, you can’t be doing shit like that!”
He tore his seat belt off, slinging it to the side so hard the metal buckle clinked loudly against the window as it wound itself back up. Steve ran a shaky hand through his hair, oblivious to the way Billy himself was shaking.
It’d been a long time since Billy had had an outburst like that, and the fact that he’d had one over something Steve had felt so right in finally saying was hurtful. He didn’t understand the anger.
“Why did you say that?” Billy asked after a moment. His voice was tense and hard, his gaze fixed firmly forward.
“Because I do?” Steve took a deep breath and sat back in his seat. He listened to the sound of other cars passing them on the highway and tried to calm down, running his hand through his hair again. “I said I loved you and you acted like I’d killed the cat or something!”
“Leave Mr. Sparkles out of this,” Billy said sharply. His knuckles were white as they gripped the steering wheel, Steve noticed. His arms were trembling.
“What is this?” Steve asked, lowering his voice out of concern. “What’s going on?”
Billy shook his head instead of replying, uncurling his fingers from around the wheel after a moment. He sniffed hard, and Steve realized he’d begun to cry.
“What, don’t you trust me enough to talk about it?” Steve asked, reaching out to take hold of Billy’s arm supportively. “C’mon, Billy, tell me what’s on your mind; don’t be afraid to tell me what you’re thinking.”
Billy shook his head again and directed his gaze out the window, towards the sun that had very nearly finished in its descent. The bright orange overtones that had brought out the colour in Billy’s hair were steadily being replaced by darker hues of blue. Billy wiped his nose on the back of his hand and took a deep, shuddery breath. He clicked his tongue, tried to speak, but couldn’t. He cleared his throat and tried again.
“What is this trip really about, Harrington?” he asked, his voice breaking over the words like an ocean wave across the shore.
“What?”
“You wanna bring me out to Cali to what, fuck with me? Bring me all the way home just to leave me or some shit?”
He shrugged out of Steve’s grip, sullenly turning to look at Steve. There was anger in his red-rimmed eyes; anger and distrust.
“Okay,” Steve began to say, lowering his hand and for all the world looking like he’d just been told he only had three days left to live, “I don’t know how you got that from me saying I love you, but that’s not at all what this trip is about? Why would you even think that? We have a cat together; I’m not about to put Mr. Sparkles through that kind of emotional strain.”
He smiled a little bit, hoping to raise one out of Billy as well but his lips remained fixed in a stubborn, downturned frown.
“Billy, I wasn’t lying when I said I loved you, alright? There’s something deeper going on here with you that I think you need to get out before you start making those kinds of sadistic assumptions about me. I would never do something like that to you.”
The anger harbored in his bright blue eyes slowly ebbed away until there was nothing left but vulnerability. The tenseness in his shoulders dropped and he slouched back in his seat, defeated.
“The last person who said they loved me was my mom,” Billy admitted eventually. His voice was haggard and low, and Steve finally understood where his hurt and anger was coming from. “And she left me, so I guess, why wouldn’t you?” Thin lines of tears leaked from his eyes, trailing down the sides of his face. “You just took me by surprise, Harrington, that’s all.”
“I’m sorry,” Steve said, and leaned over between the seats to try and grab Billy in an awkward hug. Billy let himself be pulled into it, and weakly reached his arms around to hold Steve in return. “I’m sorry you got so little love in your life that this had to be your first response.”
Billy choked on a sob.
“We’re going to Cali to get closure, Billy. I’m not taking you out there for a reenactment.”
Steve felt Billy shudder in his arms before he eventually pulled back, sniffling hard and wiping his eyes. He sighed shakily once he’d regained some semblance of composure and sat in his seat looking small and apologetic.
“I’m sorry,” he said after a minute. “I didn’t mean to think- Fuck, I mean, look, Harrington, it’s hard for me to say shit like that but- God. Fuck. I-”
“It’s okay; I don’t need to hear it to know you do,” Steve filled in for him. Billy looked relieved. “Anyway, sun went down, so it’s my turn to drive. Move over Hargrove, Peace needs her real daddy behind the wheel.”
Billy groaned loudly but broke out into a smile.
“We never agreed to name her ‘Peace’, asshole,” he said as he undid his seat belt and got ready to make the swap.
“C’mon, it’s right there on her license plate- she practically named herself! ‘P-C-E’, Peace!”
“That came from the DMV, she had no say in what she got,” Billy scoffed, stepping out of the car.
“Well,” Steve began as he opened the car door and stepped out into the cool Colorado air, “that’s just too damn bad. You got to name Mr. Sparkles, so I get ‘Peace’.”
Billy rolled his eyes as they met at the hood. Steve grinned and went in for a kiss, placing his lips to Billy’s with a quickly murmured ‘love you’ before they re-entered the car and continued on their way.

Fine Details - Gilbert Blythe
Tumblr media
Requested by Anon: I was wondering can u do one where the reader is coles year younger sister & gets bullied just like him, & Gilbert always stands up for her and has always loved her smart brain & her art because she’s just as artsy as cole & one day a drawing falls out of her bag and he picks it up and takes it home because it’s hers, and it falls out in the creek at school one & she sees it and their feelings are reciprocated outside and it’s just so cute??
Word Count: 2,122
Warnings: Bullying, fluff,
Summary: Gilbert finds himself smitten with the artistic girl in the back of the class. He figures it must run in the family.
masterlist
       The walk from the Mackenzie farm to school was typically a peaceful one, during which (y/n) and her brother would stroll along and discuss their latest works of art. Cole Mackenzie was her older brother and all her life she’d looked up to him. Between his kind spirit and artistic skill, she always wanted to be like him. But to Cole, he always wished to be more like his little sister; just as skilled but more innocent. And even though her talent was more openly received by their parents because (y/n) was a girl and an attraction to the arts could one day bring along a suitor, Cole felt no envy for her, just pride. She meant the world to him and was just happy to watch her art flourish.
    It wasn’t entirely uncommon for their walk towards school to get interrupted by Billy Andrews and his small gang of goons. So when he walked across their line of sight and called to them, the siblings didn’t think much of it. “Hey! Mackenzie!” He said as he sauntered over to them with a cruel grin, his gaze fixed directly at Cole. “I was wondering when you two would show up.”
   Cole only grunted lowly in response as he moved slightly closer to his sister. Billy chose to ignore the small movement as his eyes flickered to the paper in his hands, “What’s this? He asked, leaning down at him. His hand reached for the paper, catching Cole off guard as Billy took it from him, eyeing it curiously. On the paper was a beautifully drawn rose. Every curve was precise and it looked almost as if it was a picture. With a scoff Billy showed it to his friends. He moved both his hands to the top of the paper, leaving a small gap in between before looking directly into (y/n)’s eyes with a cruel smirk. The sound of the delicate paper ripping made her flinch. She’d stayed up nearly all night in an attempt to perfect the flower and now it was shredded in two. Billy didn’t stop there as he doubled the paper over, continuing to rip it apart. By the time he finished, it was nothing more than small bits of confetti sprinkled in the mud.
      (y/n) stared at the ground where bits of her art was left. Ruined by Billy. Cole grabbed her arm lightly and tugged her along towards the school. He wished he could’ve fought back but he would’ve been outnumbered. There was nothing he could do. He felt useless as he held onto his little sister, he wasn’t able to protect her when she needed it. 
    (y/n) sat at her desk in the back of the class, carefully shading in her latest drawing. It was of the creek than ran through Avonlea. She defined the small ripples in the water as it ran down stream and to the edge of the page. As she continued to work she became focused on her art, closing out everything around her. (y/n) was always careful not to get caught. In the past she’d seen Cole get shamed for his artwork and was determined to keep her hobby off Mr. Phillips radar.
   Gilbert watched her with awe. Even though he couldn’t see what she was working on, he knew the end result would be magnificent. It was clear she had talent, possibly more than her brother who always showed up to class with clay under his nails. He continued to watch her as she stilled for a moment, stopping to admire her own work with a soft smile on her face. The sound of the teacher clearing his throat obnoxiously caught her attention as he continued to blab on about a subject that no one understood - or even cared about. Gilbert continued to take small glances at her whenever he got a chance. It had become a common thing over the past few weeks and often found himself turning to look at her subsciously. Unfortunately, that’s what got him caught. 
     When his eyes connected with (y/n) from across the small schoolhouse for a moment he couldn’t look away. Even from a distance he could clearly see how the light reflected off her pupils and lit them up. No matter what situation (y/n) was in, he always thought she looked beautiful. But as he regained his wits he was reminded that it isn’t considered cute to stare directly at a pretty girl so begrudgingly he turned away, looking back down at his desk. 
     As lunch arrived Gilbert was immediately swarmed by the other boys in the class. All of them scrambling to speak with him, each of them wanting to earn his attention. From the corner of his eye Gilbert spotted (y/n), still sitting in the back corner as she smiled at her brother and continued moving the pencil gracefully over the paper. 
  His gaze returned to the boys around him as Billy shoved his way to the front with a scoff. “You lookin at her, Blythe?” He questioned with a sneer. Gilbert tried his best to ignore the rude boy but he continued on, pestering him until he got an answer. Billy looked at two of his friends standing behind him, nuding them lightly with his elbow. “Guess Gilbert here wants to date a Mackenzie family reject. Huh, Bud?” 
   “I thought we went over this Billy, I’m not your bud.” Gilbert said, standing up from his chair, matching Billy’s height as they stared each other down. Billy was the first to cave, lifting his hands up in mock surrender. “Fine, fine” He said pausing a moment before a smirk coated his features “Bud.”
   Gilbert was the first the move, lunging for Billy as he grabbed onto his shirt. Pulling him close, Gilbert got in his face speaking slowly and clearly so everyone got the message, not just him. “I am not, was not, and will never be your bud. Next time you speak, you speak with respect or else next time it’ll be my fist. Not just my words.” Gilbert glanced around the room for a second, everyone was watching. Even (y/n) had stopped drawing for a moment to watch it unravel. “Now, apologize to her.” 
   “W-What?” Billy asked, unsure of what Gilbert wanted as he was held up by his sweater. 
    “Apologize to (y/n).” 
 Billy moved his head to the side to look at her. When his eyes met hers it was clear he was afraid and when the words left his lips she revelved in the sound. It was like music to her ears. “I’m s-sorry (y/n). For everything I swear it.” She nodded at him, acknowledging his apologie as Gilbert let him go. The pair clearly satisfied with how it ended. As (y/n) went back to her art she couldn’t help but peak back at Gilbert, a small smile on her face as she watched him ruffle his hair with his hand. A faint blush coating his cheeks as he talked to his friends. 
     School had finally ended, and resulted to be far more eventful than usual as everyone packed up their things in preparation to go home. Cole walked over to her with a ball of clay in one hand and his hat in the other, rushing her so he could run off with Anne and Diana to sculpt. (y/n) grabbed her bag and coat, leaving with her brother. 
   Gilbert watched her walk out the door as he slung his bag over his shoulder. Walking to the door he spotted a paper face down on the ground by her desk. Curious, he flipped it over and was immediately awestruck. In all honesty he’d never seen her work up close like this, always from a distance. He knew she was talented but the art in his hands blew him away. Gilbert recognized the exact spot that she modeled the drawing after. Every fine detail outlined perfectly. Heading for the door himself he took off towards his next destination.
    (y/n) walked through the creeks as the cool water rushed past her ankles. She focused on the sounds and feelings as she got out of the creek, sitting down on a nearby log and reaching for her supplies. Almost every day Cole would walk her there because it’s where she got all her inspiration. The stream brought out the best in her. If she focused on her surroundings she could bring almost anything to life on paper.
   Picking up a pencil she began to outline the trees around her, recreating the scene she was sitting in. As she continued to draw the pencil seemed to grow a mind of its own. Despite her original plans for the piece she began outlining a delicate figure standing in the center. Dark curls and a heavy sweater made her head race. It was clear where her art had gone, her inspiration and her muse clashing together in a mix of lead and lines. 
    She softly blew on the paper when she was done, getting rid of the excess lead. The drawing looked more like a photograph with film than a paper and pencil. She beamed down at the drawing as she admired her work. (y/n) considered herself to be a fairly humble person but when she looked down at her work she knew she’d outdone herself. 
  It looked stunning.
 Her marveling was cut short by a voice from behind her. “Is that me?”
    (y/n) bit back a scream as he caught her by surprise. She pulled the paper close to her body, shielding it from his view. Completely off guard she struggled to find her words. “I, uh. G-Gilbert what are you doing out here?” 
     He smiled at her. “Answering a question with a question, smart.” The black haired boy pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, “Actually, I was looking for you. Thought maybe you should have this back.” When he handed the page back she immediately recognized it as her own. She never even noticed she’d lost it to begin with.” 
  “Thank you.” She said, looking up at him. “For everything you did today. I mean it, you were amazing.” Gilbert shrugged at her comment shly scratching his back. She had no idea the effect she had over him, Gilbert found himself a flustered mess around her. None the less he managed to pull off the calm and cute facade and the girl in front of him was none the wiser. 
   “It was no big deal. Besides, someone has to put Billy in his place everyone one in a while.” She bobbed her head in response, slowly loosening her grip on the paper. 
   “So,” Gilbert began. “Is that me? Either way it looks amazing.” 
    She looked down in shame, a soft “Yes.” coming from her lips. He couldn’t help the smile that crept on his face at her answer. It made his heart skip a beat as she slowly revealed it to him. 
     “I love it.” 
 (y/n) looked up from the ground with wide eyes. “You really think so?” 
   “Are you kidding me? Your art never fails to amaze me, you never fail to amaze me. You’re absolutely brilliant, (y/n). Just to add to that, you’re also ridiculously beautiful and talented.” Gilbert began to speak animatedly about how much he adored her - and of course, her art. While (y/n) was good with art, he excelled in words and it showed as happy tears began to fill her eyes. 
   She’d never received praise like that before. Cole had always been more critical of his own art, and it often carried over to hers but he was always supportive. But to hear someone talk about her art with admiration in their eyes was a completely different experience. With a surge of emotion (y/n) bolted forward into Gilberts arms. He tensed for a moment, shocked at her reaction at first but shortly relaxed as he wrapped his arms around her. 
   “I think I like more than just your art.” He whispered calmly, his heart racing with anticipation until he thought it would burst. 
    “Oh, yeah?”
   “Yeah, and I’ll ask Cole’s permission if I have too.” Gilbert couldn’t stop the smile from growing on his face as he heard her giggle at his joke.
   “I don’t think that’ll be necessary.” She said, slowly distancing herself from him. She wished she hadn’t, immediately missing the feeling of his arms around her. 
  “Good. He scares me.”
    With another laugh she pushed him away lightly, not getting very far as he caught her wrist and pulled her back into him. They never wanted to let go, and they supposed they didn’t have to - at least until Cole came back to walk her home.

Hey! Im pretty new to the fandom (since like summer) and i was wondering if there were any crazy fan theories before s2 came out? Like the speculation over s3 has really got me thinking how much people predicted before the show came out last time? I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts so thanks ♥️
Okay so crazy fan theories idk if u mean crazy like, funny, or crazy like INTENSE so I’ll just answer for both lmao. There were a LOT of funny theories before the show came out. I mentioned one of them the other night, which was the El/Mike MORPH theory, but if u didn’t see that post, basically when the first s2 teaser came out there was a shot from the scene of El and Hopper’s fight where El is crying. It was the first look we got of El in s2 so that was the first time we were seeing her curly hair and all that, and also in the shot (which didn’t make the final cut of the show) she was covering her face, so at first we weren’t 100% sure if it was her. Millie and Noah ended up confirming that it was, but a LOT of ppl were still convinced it was Mike, which led to a bunch of ridiculous theories that in s2 El was going to morph into Mike, that they were actually the same person, there would be a body swapping plotline, etc. like there were a lot of variations of it but it can all be p well grouped under the same theory. The main other FUNNY theory coming to mind is my personal favorite, PregNancy. A completely baseless-yet-popular theory that was exactly how it sounds, Pregnant Nancy. It rlly only started bc in the trailer they included the shot of Nancy crying in the Holland’s bathroom, so a lot of people ran with this whole idea that she’s crying cause she just took a pregnancy test and there were a lot of spiraled out theories like whether it was Steve or Jonathan’s baby and all that. Those are the two main comedic theories from s2 that I remember and ppl who were here for them can all remember hauntingly and joke about
As for ACTUAL theories, jeez there were a LOT. There were some rlly good ones too. I remember a rlly popular one was that after someone leaked some set pictures of Millie filming the scene where El gets off the bus in Chicago, a lot of ppl started theorizing that Eleven was hiding out there with some friends Hopper had there or smth (Now we know that “the city” Hop used to live in was New York, but we didn’t know that pre-s2 so ppl figured it might be Chicago and he had an old apartment there or smth). There were also a LOT of theories centered around the tunnels, bc that was some of the only plot hints we had going in to the season. People caught on pretty quickly after the trailer came out that the drawings in the Byers house were a map of the tunnels, and stuff spiraled from there. I remember one theory I personally believed was that the tunnels were what Will used in the Upside Down to get around and hide from the Demogorgon. Another big theory was that the red cloud that the Mind Flayer appeared in in Will’s visions was going to be an actual physical storm coming to Hawkins, which came p much from the few shots of it in trailers alongside the fact that the show originally released some fake episode titles when they announced s2, and one of them was “The Storm”. The old title for “The Lost Sister” was actually “The Lost Brother” and a LOT of theories came from that, ranging from pretty accurate like it being another experiment, to completely off base, like one I remember was it being about a 4th Wheeler sibling (Mike’s twin) who died (p much just came from the fact that Mike has a bunk bed). OH and if you remember the DnD scene at the end of season 1, aka everything with the proud princess, the lost knight, and the weird flowers in the cave? Everyone was CONVINCED those were supposed to be clues for season 2. Literally 99% of s2 theories mentioned those 3 things, and in the end they were complete red herrings. A lot of theories also came from Dragon’s Lair, as the Duffers hinted a lot that there would be symbolism in the game. Now we know that “symbolism” was rlly nothing more than foreshadowing that Lucas would end up with Max and not Dustin (”Princess Daphne is still mine!”) but for a long time we thought it was PLOT foreshadowing. And lemme tell you anon, I personally did SO MUCH research on that game and watched the gameplay so many times making theories. The plot of the game is about a knight rescuing a missing princess from a dragon, and a lot of ppl (me included) thought that was going to foreshadowing for Mike saving El from whatever was the reason she was still missing. For a LONG time ppl thought El was going to be in the Upside Down for a full year. If you read any pre-s2 fics, there’s a good chance that’s going to be referenced, bc for so long we didn’t have ANY clue where she could be so we just assumed she was stuck in the Upside Down as a default. It wasn’t until a year after the show came out that it was confirmed she’d been out of the Upside Down since the beginning. So yeah for a long time there were a LOT of theories about the kids doing a rescue mission to the Upside Down. Another theory that came from Dragon’s Lair was that Dustin was going to die, bc his character dies in Dragon’s Lair and people thought that would be similar foreshadowing to how in s1 Will’s DnD character was taken by the Demogorgon, then that’s what happened in real life. Speaking of character deaths, a LOT of people thought Steve or Hopper were gonna die. There wasn’t rlly explanation behind it, but everyone kinda agreed, their character arcs as of the end of s1 were set up well if the show wanted to kill one of them off. Another big plot theory that I remember was that the Upside Down would be spreading to the real world, bc the tag line for season 2 was “The World Is Turning Upside Down” and people connected it back to Mr Clarke’s line about how the gate could swallow everyone up whole. That theory KINDA became true and the gate was spreading in s2, but it wasn’t the plot of the season or anything, and it wasn’t near as serious in reality as people theorized it to be. There were a also LOT of theories about Will too, and a lot of them were some variation of Will having powers. Oh and since one of the episode titles is “The Spy” there were a lot of theories about who the spy was, the most common ones I remember were Max, Billy, Bob, and Hopper. The first 3 bc they were the newbies (no pun intended on Bob’s end) and Hopper bc we kinda knew he had some connection going on with the lab, but didn’t know the nature or what was going on or anything. OHMYGOD and how could I forget the Thessalhydra. The FREAKING Thessalhydra. Another DnD related theory that I spent HOURS of my life dedicated to researching only for it to amount to NOTHING. The Thessalhydra is another DnD monster, and it was also mentioned in the campaign at the end of season 1, and everyone was convinced that would be the new monster from s2. There weren’t a lot of theories about the Mind Flayer going into season 2 just because we didn’t know enough to even have theories, but almost every theory that did exist assumed that the shadow monster was the Thessalhydra coming to Hawkins following the Demogorgons defeat. Another one I remember is since we got shots of Joyce, Hop, and Bob wearing scrubs in the trailer, people thought they were going undercover in a hospital to either 1) kidnap Will out of it or 2) steal medical files.
As for theories that were accurate, there was a surprising lot. Honestly in reality a LOT of stuff that happened in season 2 was stuff ppl either theorized about, but their theories went WAY more in depth & went beyond what actually happened, or it was smth ppl figured was too obvious to be true. So honestly in the end we definitely OVER-theorized a lot for s2. El and Hop was one of them. Hopper hiding El in a secret cabin in the woods was one of those things that everybody in the fandom thought about, but most of us thought it was too predictable to be true (especially because one of those original episode titles was literally “The Secret Cabin”). Everyone pretty much assumed that Dustin’s pollywog was really the slug Will threw up, and there were even a lot of theories about it being a baby Demogorgon (though I don’t think ANYONE anticipated the demodogs). Or like I mentioned before, a lot of theories about El going to Chicago, but none of them were even CLOSE to what really happened. Kali’s original name in the show was Roman, and they kept her SUPER secretive. When the final trailer of the show came out, they included a shot of the gang wearing masks, and I remember someone was able to figure out that one of them was Roman/Kali, and that’s rlly all we knew about her going in. I actually remember someone sent me an ask back then thinking that the girl next to her might be El in a mask too, and I specifically remember looking at that picture thinking “Nah that’s not her” bc I mean, no one expected anything like episode 7. They had announced there was going to be an independent episode, and I remember our theories ranged everywhere from a musical episode to flashbacks of the year between 1 and 2 to a whole episode dedicated to Terry and MKUltra. But at no point did anyone come even close to figuring out the truth. There’s a lot of smaller details ppl anticipated too, like the Stancy breakup or Bob’s death, and even a good chunk of the plot honestly, even if no one rlly theorized the exacts, the whole kinda premise and concepts we had brought up a lot before and we had loosely figured it out. But there was also so much stuff no one ever thought of before, like the Demodogs or everything with ep7 or the lab shutting down or Will getting possessed.
All in all honestly we did a pretty good job. Everything we COULD figure out based on the information we had we did for the most part, to the point where honestly this time around the show is being WAY more secretive in s3 because they don’t want us to figure stuff out again. Like I said before, honestly we over-theorized, we took all the information we did and definitely overthought everything a LOT and ended up going a lot more intense with it than what ultimately happened in the show lmao

“Oh, my god, Harrington, would you please shut up!” You hissed as the teenage boy yet again slipped over a vine in the dark tunnels of the Upside Down, letting out a loud string of cuss words to fall from his lips.  “Number one,” you pulled your bandana covering your mouth down, pausing for a moment to look at Steve, “my brother, who is only thirteen and his friends, are right behind us,” You say motioning to Dustin, the boys, and Max who looked away as you mentioned them. “Number two, there is the huge possibility of a Demodog hearing you and chasing us down.” You finished in a harsh whisper, continuing to walk ahead.
However, the brunette boy looked at you you side on with squinted eyes and let out a snicker. You truly wished you hadn’t been dragged into this mess. If it weren’t for that commotion in Dustins room, you wouldn’t have checked in and found your brother trying to wrangle Dart. This then led you on the path to trying to find the mutant being with Steve Harrington and your brother. You couldn’t stand the attitude Steve held towards you. It felt as though his anger over his breakup with Nancy was being fuelled into snarky remarks towards you.
“Yeah, it’s not like they heard your elephant like footsteps this whole time or anything.” He shot back, causing you to roll your eyes and pull the bandana back over your mouth, wiping your cheek, which was covered in blood from a blow Billy gave you during you and Steve's fight with him.
“Alright Wheeler.” Steve said looking up from the drawn map in his hands. “I think we found your hub.” You all came to a halt and looked around the centre of the tunnels, the one place they all met.
“Let’s drench it” Mike stated as you all began to dowse the large space in petrol. Steve walked your way, staring blankly as he ordered you to go take the other tunnel as you weren’t drenching this one properly. His tone bitter and but also monotone causing you to furrow your eyebrows.
“What the hell, Steve! I’m literally doing the exact same as everyone else. Just get over yourself and leave me alone!” You say turning your back to him.
“What is your problem, Y/N?!” Steve questioned, pulling on your lower arm to face him.
“My problem, Steve? My problem is you! You’ve been non-stop treating me like shit since your whole ordeal with Nancy. I don’t care if you’re pissed, just don’t take it out on me!” You finally snap at him, watching as he pulls his bandana down to speak to you. “Look, we don’t have time for this now, Steve. Let’s just do our job and get the hell out of here,” you state, causing Steve’s mouth to shut as you turn and walk away. Soon enough the place was completely doused in petrol, so all six of you huddled in one of the tunnels.
“You guys ready?” The brunette asked, causing a string of “yeah” to fall from everyone's lips.
Steve pulled out his lighter, flicking it on, causing Dustin to look at it and smile, “Light her up.”
“Yeah, do it,” I agree, “Light this bitch on fire.”
“I am in such deep shit,” mumbled Steve before throwing the lighter into the petrol filled core. The place became engulfed in flames and we quickly began to run to the exit. The encounter with Dart sent shivers down your spine and your body twitched with fear as you thought of what could happen to your brother, but, all ended well as you finally made it to the exit. Max, Lucas, and Mike were hoisted up and you were helping Steve get up also. But then you heard the rumbling of the Demodogs running towards you, and you saw their shadows nearing. You held your brother’s hand as you heard the screams from his friends.
And then you heard Steve’s voice pierce through the others. “Y/N! Get your cute little ass up here now!” But instead you stood there and brought Dustin behind you, muttering a quick, “I love, you little one.” The monsters approached, but before they did, Steve dropped down from above and clasped you close to him, protecting you from the beasts which were running around you. As the Demodogs cleared, you looked up at Steve, letting out a choked thank you before pulling him closer for a hug and then turning around and tightly hugging your little brother. You all climbed out of the tunnels and to the car. Steve dropped all the kids back at Joyce’s house where everyone else was, and you silently thanked that Billy was no longer there and had obviously walked home.
You turned to Steve who was in the driver's seat as all the kids spilled out of the car and ran to meet up with Will. “Look... Thank you for before. I— it meant a lot.” You said in a quiet voice as you opened the door and got out of the car.
“Look, hey, let me take you home at least to kind of make up to you for everything?” Steve offered as you turned back around.
“I can’t see my mum like this. I’m covered in sweat, dirt, and blood. If I didn’t die from the Demodogs, then I’m certainly gonna be killed by her.” You state with a smile.
Steve reflects your smile and lets out a chuckle, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly, tongue swiping out to lick his lips before speaking. “Hey, just get back in. How about you come to mine, get cleaned up and then I’ll take you home? My parents are out of town, as per usual, so nobody will be there to question the state we’re in.” He suggests as you smile with a nod and hop back into the car. You arrived at his house in a few minutes and hop out of the car following him to his front door. You both stepped inside and he closes the door behind you. Steve then leads you to his bathroom where he gives you a spare tee of his and a towel. He leaves you be and you take a hot shower, helping wash away the grime off your skin from the events of tonight. You sigh and close your eyes before stepping out and slipping into Steve’s long tee. You open the bathroom door and there he stands.
“Y/N, we need to talk. I’m sorry for the way I’ve been treating you.” He admits taking a step towards you. “Honestly, it is because of the whole Nancy bullshit.”
“Knew it.” You muttered, strutting passed him. But for the second time that night, Steve grabbed your lower arm and pulled you to face him again. He then saw the tears brimming your eyes. You didn’t want to admit it to him. Heck, you didn’t want to even admit it to yourself. But you truly liked this boy. You liked the way he took care of your brother and his friends with such concern. You liked how he spent so long prepping his hair with Farrah Fawcett each day. You liked how he managed to still remain dorky and uncoordinated, despite being the “king” of Hawkins High School. And it tore you apart that he was still into Nancy Wheeler.
“Hey! Y/N, wait! Look, it was originally about her, but the more I talked to you, spent time with you, and seeing you tackle things the way you have been these past few days, has put me into a state of annoyance. I shouldn’t be over Nancy so quickly and that’s why I was so shit to you, Y/N.” Steve said as he tucked a piece of hair behind your ear and wiped away a loose tear which rolled down your cheek. “I was being a dick to you because I—” Steve paused, letting out a deep breath. “God damn it!” Steve clasped your face and pulled you into him, attaching his lips to yours. Your body ran cold with shock. Steve Harrington was kissing you. You then slowly began to move your mouth with his and your eyes fluttered shut. Steve’s hands trailed down your body, from your cheeks to your waist. You then snaked your arms up around his neck, playing with the hair which rested there. You tugged at the strands, causing a low growl to roll off his lips through the kiss. His hands then began to trail down your ass, squeezing it, making you let out a moan. Steve used this opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth, letting the two of your tongues battle for dominance. He won quickly and then pulled away from the kiss, capturing your lower lip in his teeth, pulling at the flesh, causing you to whimper. He then began to kiss along your jawline to your ear, leaving a string of moans to escape your lips. He reached your earlobe, nibbling on it before whispering “jump”.
You jumped up, wrapping your legs around his waist as he began to carry you towards his room. He threw you on the bed before crawling over you, attacking your neck with open mouth kisses, leaving harsh love bites scattered around the skin there, licking over the marks he made, leaving you a moaning mess. Your fingers played with the hem of his shirt, indicating you wanted it off. He ceased his assault on your neck, lifting his body up, allowing you to pull it over him. You couldn't help to admire his body, a smirk forming its way onto your lips as you pulled him back onto you before flipping you both over so you were straddling his waist. You then pulled Steve’s top over your frame, leaving you almost fully naked as you only had your undies on.
“Damn, Y/N…” Steve mumbled, his tongue darting out and licking his lips. He then reached his hand up to caress your left breast and you bit your lip as you looked down at him. You then began to grind your clothed pussy against his hardening cock, which was contained under his boxers and jeans. A large satisfied sigh escaped his lips as his hands still massaged your breasts.
He then flipped the two of you over again, kissing down your body along your boobs, slipping a nipple into his mouth and sucking, causing you to let out a moan.
“S— Steve please. J— just do something,” you struggle to get out, Steve then letting go of your nipple with a popping sound. He began kissing down your body again, reaching your thighs. He hooked a finger on your panties and slipped them down, getting a clear view of your soaked core.
“Shit babe your so fucking wet.” He admired and a groan left your body at his pet name. Steve began kissing up your inner thighs, finally getting to where you needed him the most. A hot breath fanned your aching pussy and you thrust your hips towards his face, just wanting the contact for his tongue on your sensitive area. All of a sudden a large strip was licked up your slit and you moaned out his name.
“Yeah, baby, like that.” He said huskily leaving you to yet again let out a moan. His mouth then attached itself to your clit, sucking harshly while two of his fingers made their way to you entrance. He parted your lips and then inserted his fingers in slowly, creating a low moan to echo through the room. Steve began pumping his fingers in and out of your pussy, each time bringing his fingers knuckle deep into your core. He then added in a third digit and began speeding up his movements. His fingers them began to curl upwards, hitting that sweet spot inside of you.
“Oh, fuck.” You cried, throwing your head back, arching your back at the feeling. Steve hummed into your pussy and you could feel him smirk into your sex, somehow magian turning you on even more than you already were. He continued to thrust his fingers in and out of your pussy until your thighs began to shake.
“S— Steve I’m so c— close,” you let out, but your pleasure was cut short as Steve pulled away, making you push up onto your elbows and look at him.
“What the fuck, Steve?!” You questioned in annoyance.
“I want you to cum around my cock instead.” He stated, standing up and stripping down to nothing, letting his hardened girth spring free.
Your eyebrows raised at the sight of his cock, its length far greater than you could of imagined, and yet again you bit your lip. “Shit, Harrington,” you said quietly as he just smirked, pumping his length a few times while walking over to his bedside table and pulling out a condom. You reached over to him and snatched the rubber from his hands, placing it on the bed. You hopped onto your knees and began to pump his cock. You then kitten licked his tip, Steve letting out a sharp hiss at the contact, grabbing a fistful of your hair, bucking his hips towards you face.  You pulled back, “Uh, uh. You want me to suck you off, then you have to behave.” You said seductively, leaving Steve to tuck his bottom lip between his teeth and nod. You then grabbed his cock, licking a large stripe up the underside of his length before returning to his tip. You took his cock in your mouth and slowly eased your head down it. You began to speed up, still pumping him, but now managing to deepthroat him a few times, making you gag. The vibrations from you gagging however, made him moan, his pants speeding up, hips twitching as he restrained himself from grabbing your head and face fucking you into oblivion. You moved your free hand to his balls, cupping them and playing with them. He let out a strangled moan of your name and you then began to feel him twitch in your mouth. You however decided to pay him back, pulling your mouth off his cock and standing up to face him.
“What— Hey, Y/N! What the fuck? I was close!” He said in a low voice, eyes becoming a full shade darker as he looked down at you.
“Oh, I know.” You state simply and sweetly.
“You are in for it, Y/N.” Steve growled out, smacking your ass before pulling you into a heated kiss. You pushed your hips towards him but he simply just pushed you back onto the bed grabbing the rubber yet again, tearing it open and rolling it down his cock. He pulled you close to him and then flipped you over again and pulled your ass up and you played along, perking it up for him, giving him a clear view of your dripping cunt. He raised his hand and collided it with your ass cheek, creating a cry to fall from your lips.
“There we go. That’s a good girl.” He mumbled as he lined his cock up with your entrance. He slowly pushed himself inside of you letting a satisfied sigh to fall from both of your lips, a mixture that turned you both on more. Steve kept pushing his dick in until it was fully sheathed in your pussy.
“Holy fuck, you’re so tight, Y/N.” He breathed, but paused his movements allowing you to fall accustomed to his size. You had had sex before, but not for a while, and Steve was quite large. You let out a little whimper as a tear fell down your face from the initial discomfort, making Steve snap his head upwards, concern washing over his face as he looked at you.
“Hey, hey, Y/N. I can stop if you want. I’m so sorry” He said, beginning to massage your back.
“N— no, no, you’re fine, Steve. I just haven’t had sex in a while. I— I’m just not used to it, that’s all.”
“Okay.” He said, leaning forwards and kissing your back. After a minute you signalled that it was okay to move. His thrusts started off slow but as the pain subsided you told him to go faster and soon enough that pain bloomed into pleasure.
“Harder, Steve, please.” You begged in a whimper.
“Your wish is my command.” He said before snapping his hips at faster speed, bottoming out with each thrust.
“Yes, daddy.” The words accidentally fell from your lips and Steve slowed his movements, his eyebrows shooting up at the name. You’re cheeks heated up and your eyes widened and you began to protest but Steve cut you short.
“Fuck, that was hot.” He breathed and picked up your upper half so your back was pressed against his chest. He began thrusting upwards at an ungodly pace hitting your g-spot with each thrust, making you scream his name out in pleasure. You then moved forward, letting Steve slip out of you and you turned to face him, pulling him into a passionate kiss before making him lay down. You then began to straddle him, easing yourself back down onto him letting out a moan once again. You then began to bounce up and down his large dick scratching down his chest and in return his hands flew to you breasts and massaged them. You then leaned backwards, hands resting on Steve’s legs as you ground your hips in circular motions, making the whole scenario far more pleasurable. Steve then ran his hands down your body to grip your waist as he began to thrust up into you, hitting that spot yet again that night.You arched your back pressing your cunt further onto his cock, your thrusts meeting each other and going as such a fast pace that white dots began to cloud your vision and a knot to form in your stomach.
“Yes, daddy! Right there! I’m so close!” You screamed, thankful that his parents weren’t home.
“Oh, fuck Y/N! Cum for me.” Steve moaned in response. You could feel his cock twitching inside of you, signalling that he too was close. All of a sudden you’re legs began shake and that knot in your stomach let loose. Your walls clenched tightly around Steve’s girth as you came around him, a scream accompanying your orgasm. This then sent Steve off, the room filling with the sounds of your screams and moans. Steve came too his thrusts slowing as the last of his seed spilled out into the rubber condom. You rolled off Steve, laying next to him as he rolled off the condom, tied it and threw it in the bin. You lay for a minute panting before sitting up next to him.
“So, I think I gathered that from what you were trying to say before, is that you like me?” You questioned the brunette with a smirk.
“If it wasn’t obvious.” He laughed, leaning over to you, giving you a passionate kiss. He then pulled away and looked at your neck with a meek smile.
“Ah, so if the cut on your cheek wasn’t bad enough, I may have accidentally given you a few more marks to add to the reason why you’ll be killed by your mom.” He said squinting his eyes and slightly nodding.
You just roll your eyes and chuckle, “Well good thing your parents are out of town because I’m crashing here tonight, then.” You say leaning back down on the bed, Steve just nodding with a smile. “Oh, and if that,” You say motioning between you, “wasn’t obvious enough, I like you, too, dickhead.” You say with a smile.
“Oh, is that right?” Asks Steve as he slides over the top of you. “Well if you like me so much, how about we go for round two?”

A/N first one for my sweet baby Stan, I hope you guys like it!! I enjoyed writing it, even though I didn't really know how to go about it lol. I hope you guys like some cute big sis readerXstan. Also, i’m sorry I didn’t post yesterday, I’ve just been really sick and haven’t had any energy to get onto my computer.
Summary: Eddie big sister gets caught in a dare, causing both her and Stan to admit their feelings
Warnings: bullying, suicide mention, cursing
Stanley Uris
A tear slipped out of your eye as you quickly walked out of the school, Greta finally leaving after ten minutes of her usual bullying towards you.
"I mean, Jesus, if I looked like her I'd kill myself. You're such an ugly bitch, you know that, right?" She'd told you, before going on and on about how no one loved you and how stupid you were. You knew that she was wrong; that you were beautiful, Intelligent, and somewhat loved, but her words still hurt.
You didn't understand why she chose to pick on you, what did you ever do to her? You shook her words out of your head, and quickly wiped your tear away as you neared your brother and his friends.
"Hey, guys," you spoke as you neared the Losers, forcing a grin onto your lips. They all turned and looked at you, smiles appearing on their lips as well.
"H-hey, Y/N," Billy greeted as you began to empty your backpack out into the trash can. "Best feeling ever, right?" You said as you slung your now empty backpack over your shoulder. Richie smirked, elbowing Stanley,"Funny, Stan said the same exact thing."
Stanley sent him a glare as you chuckled, looking at the now blushing boy who was looking down. You frowned upon noticing he wasn't wearing his kippah.
"Where's your kippah, Stan?"
"Oh, uh, Patrick threw it into a bus," he muttered, looking anywhere but at you. "What a jerk," you huffed, before looking at Eddie,"you ready to go, Ed?" The boy nodded, looking at his friends,"Bye guys, see you tomorrow."
You smiled at his friends, and walked toward your bike. "Bye, Y/N!" Stan quickly called out, his voice cracking at the end. You looked over your shoulder at him, giggling quietly,"Bye, Stan."
A few days later and the boys had all decided to go to the quarry to swim, and being the kind sister you were, you decided to make lunches for them all and take it down to them as the last time they went to the quarry they'd forgotten to eat and Eddie had come home starving.
They were all swimming when you arrived at the small field, and you called to them,"Hey, Losers! I brought lunch." They all looked to you, and you noticed three new faces amongst them that you knew would be there. The boys, and girl, all quickly climbed out of the water as you set the picnic basket down and opened it up for them.
Eddie kissed you on the cheek as he grabbed a sandwich, causing you to shove him away with a laugh as cold water from his body dripped onto you. Richie quickly followed his lead, grabbing your face with his hands and smushing his lips against your cheek.
Stanley scowled at him as you groaned, shoving him away,"You're gonna get her all wet, Richie!" You smiled at Stanley, handing him a sandwich as he sat down,"Thank you Stan, it's okay." He smiled shyly back at you, unwrapping his sandwich. He blushed as he realized you gave him the type of sandwich that he likes most, a peanut butter and strawberry jelly.
"How'd you know I liked peanut butter and jellies?" He asked you with furrowed brows. "I remember what all of you like. I've made too many of you guys sandwiches to not remember," you said in an obvious tone, before looking at Mike, Beverly, and Ben with an apologetic look,"Sorry, I didn't know what you three liked so I just made you turkey sandwiches. I hope that's okay."
They all nodded, Beverly smiling at you,"Thank you so much."
"Yeah, you didn't have to make us anything," Ben said in a thankful tone as he took the sandwich from your hand. Mike nodded in thanks, sending you a small smile. As you all ate your sandwiches and joked around, you couldn't help but notice Stan's eyes on you.
Looking over at him, and sent him a small smile as he realized you had caught him staring. The both of you blushed, and he quickly looked away. Soon enough, Richie noticed and came up with an idea in his mind.
With a mischievous smirk, he suggested,"Hey guys, why don't we play truth or dare?"
Everyone eventually agreed, although it took some convincing from the others, and the game started. It was all innocent at first; Eddie was dared to drink the quarry water, Billy was forced to tell the group the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to him, and Richie was forced to tell his most precious secret. It went on and on, until finally it was Stanley's turn.
"Stanley," Richie spoke, causing the Jewish boy to perk up in slight fright,"truth or dare?"
Stan thought about it, knowing that whatever he said, he'd be forced to do something he didn't want to do. "U-um, dare?" He said, questioning his own answer. Your eyes widened lightly, having not expected for him to choose dare. Richie giggled,"I dare you to kiss Y/N."
Eddie gasped loudly, and everyone's mouth dropped; including yours.
"No, no, no! Absolutely not. That's my fucking sister!" Eddie exclaimed, throwing a carrot at Richie (he missed). You usually would've scolded your little brother for the language, but you were too focused on Stanley who was blushing deeply.
"Alright, let's do it," you spoke, shocking everyone once more. Eddie shrieked, Billy gasped, and everyone else just looked on in amusement. Stan looked up to you, eyes wide,"W-What?"
You stood, holding a hand out for him to hold,"You heard me, come on." Stan hesitantly lifted a shaky hand and grabbed onto yours, allowing you to pull him up. You ignored Eddie's heavy breathing and the puff of his inhaler, knowing he was just over reacting.
"Wait, where do you think you're going?" Richie questioned as you began to walk off, eyes wide and arms spread out. You looked back at him, eyebrows furrowed,"My first kiss isn't going to be in front of all of you, and neither is Stan's."
Stan squeaked as you yanked him off, looking back at his friends with wide eyes as Eddie protested loudly. Richie's mouth was open wide, protest after protest leaving his mouth as well. He didn't expect for the situation to go that way. He was expecting it to be funnier, for literally everything to go wrong. But now, he didn't even get to witness what he'd dared Stan to do.
"You don't h-have to kiss me, we can just lie," Stanley stuttered as you pulled him off to an area where they couldn't see or hear either of you. You smiled at him,"Don't worry, if I didn't want to I wouldn't."
Stanley's mouth opened and closed, unable to make a coherent word come out. You placed your hands on his shoulders,"But, if you don't want to, we don't have to. I won't force you, either."
"No, no, I want to!" Stanley quickly protested, before he realized what he'd said and a hot blush rises back onto his face. A blush rose onto yours as well, and you smiled softly. "I mean, I, uh, I like you, Y/N."
"I like you too, Stan," you responded. You placed one hand softly onto his cheek, the other to the back of his neck,"I'm gonna kiss you now." Stanley nodded quickly, eyes slightly wide. Shutting your eyes, you placed your lips gently against his. His eyes stayed open for a few seconds, until they fluttered shut.
When you pulled back, Stan wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you back in, his lips pressing back against yours. You giggled at his newfound confidence, his nose pressing awkwardly against yours as you kissed. When the two of you pulled back once more, the both of you were grinning.
You intertwined your fingers with his,"Let's get back, hm?" Stan nodded, too lovestruck to say anything as you began pulling him off again. You sat back down in your original spot, but this time Stan sat next to you.
"Oh my god!" Eddie shrieked, his hands covering his face once he saw the two of you holding hands. Richie laughed loudly,"Holy fuck, you actually did it! You actually kissed! Wait, wait, how do I know you really did it? Do it right now."
You rolled your eyes, placing a hand back on Stanley's cheek and pecking his lips before sending a pointed look at Richie. Beverly aw'ed, and you smiled at her as Stanley turned bright red once again.
"Happy now?" You asked Richie, who smiled smugly. Now, he could always use the fact that he was the one who got the two of you together and there was nothing anyone could say about it.

SnK Chapter 97 Poll Results
The chapter 97 poll closed with 1,235 responses. Thank you to everyone for participating.
  RATE THE CHAPTER (1,157 RESPONSES)
Tumblr media
This is the highest rated chapter since we started asking this question 6 months ago. Many were delighted to see Eren again and felt that the plot was moving forward.
This is the chapter I've been waiting months for. Flashbacks with meaning. Plot progression. New revelations. Great chapter.
Best Marley chapter yet.
This chapter was honestly amazing, easily one of my favorite chapters. Not only do we get to see my boy Kenny again, Annie is there kicking his ass. We got Bertholdt's fortune telling sleeping positions(bless him). We got Reiner who is so fucking gone, I lost my shit for a second when I thought it was all gonna be over for him. Then we finally hear from the Tybur's and learn that Amputee-kun was Eren(no surprise with that one). Honestly just a beautiful chapter!
Made me more happy than getting a buy one get one coupon for Chick Fil A
Honestly I was expecting this chapter to be another flashback and generally boring instead I was pleasurably surprised by seeing my boi eren and Kenny ~wipes tear~ I JUST HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS CHAPTER O
This is the chapter we all needed. Finally, the plot's moving forward, and it's doing so really quickly! Hyped!
We went from "another useless flashback chapter" to "omg Isayama let us catch our breath" and this is hilarious. Not that I disliked flashback chapters, they were great...but THIS was THE chapter.
It's about time we had a chapter that pushed the plot forward and gave us some juicy reveals. The curtain has been down for far too long and it's now time for some conflict. Gimme grim reminder in the next chapter as well as more Pieck and Porky.
This chapter is just amazing. We got Eren as Amputee-kun, Willy Tybur, and a hint of Zekerets. Plus, there's also Eren's letter to look forward to. I feel like we'll be seeing the Paradis crew towards the end of Chapter 98. It serves as a great way to end the volume.
I was so happy to see the plot finally starting to move forwards again. I've loved getting the Marley perspective, but as I've said before, the pacing of these chapters has been abysmal. The plot's been largely stalled for nearly a year at this point, and I'm very excited to see it finally seeming to pick up direction again. 
  WHAT WAS THE BEST PART OF THE CHAPTER? (1,169 RESPONSES)
Tumblr media
Things Involving Eren made up more than 55% of the vote. Anny vs Kenny pulled in 16.8% coming in third. And yes, I screwed up. I should’ve made Reiner’s suicide attempt a “best part” but I got caught up in the semantics of it all. I couldn’t see it as anything but a tragedy.
FINALLY!!! WE GOT TO SEE EVEN THE TINIEST GLIMPSE OF EREN.
Reiner's attempted suicide was one of the best moments of the chapter but you only made it an option under "worst"
Voted for nothing in the first two sections as the suicide attempt my favorite  part of the chapter in terms of emotion and character development.
Annie "badass" Leonhardt was definitely a highlight of this chapter, though Eren's conversation just edged out ahead
Eren's character development and understanding Falco's situation
Loved the insight into Reiner's frame of mind on paradis. It seems like he was just as much in denial while being a warrior as he was as a soldier. Neither seem to be his genuine self. Poor kid!
MY SON IS BACK, MY SON IS BACK!!! Also I will eat my left shoe if the whole survey corps isnt nearby. This plan just seems like it has Armin written all over it.
It's so exciting to finally have the plot picking up again after an entire year of mostly exposition and development. Shit is definitely going down at that Tyber festival. Also lets just call Billy Thor because I can't deal with the idea that that is his name
  WORST PART OF THE CHAPTER (1,080 RESPONSES)
Tumblr media
What’s more tragic, the unfortunate name of the 9th titan shifter or Reiner’s desperate situation? Rather than include Reiner’s suicide in either of these questions, I probably should’ve just asked “How much do you want to hug Reiner?” because so many people do.
Lack of best girl Pieke
Can someone like... hug reiner?  
Fucking WILLY is his name?!?!?
We thought Reiner's life couldn't get worse. Isayama works his magic yet again.
Willy is a term for dick so in actuality his name is Dick Tybur, the Wardick titan shifter
Blessed Reigner need not turn to suicide, fulfillment is in the self
Willy the Warhammer is even worse than Billy.
Reiner's  suicide attempt was WICKED.
i wanna die almost as bad as reiner
  WHAT WAS THE BEST REVEAL? (1,173 RESPONSES)
Tumblr media
The Best Reveal is that we were all correct about Eren being Amuptee-kun. In a series this unpredictable, we take our victories where we can.
Since we're right about Eren being Amputee-kun, we might (should) as well be right with Annie x Father Leonhardt siding with Paradis! (please)
That justice boner being exactly right about Eren being the bum.
Annie and crazy uncle Kenny did meet and were on screen together. That makes me happy. I'm trying to understand Kenny's appearance lol. Did Isayama miss him or what ?
    WE ASKED THIS LAST MONTH, BUT SINCE BERTOLT BROUGHT IT UP IT, LET’S DO IT AGAIN. DO YOU THINK ANNIE AND REINER ACTED ALONE AND KILLED THE MAN FOUND HANGING IN THE TREE? (1,087 RESPONSES)
Tumblr media
When we first asked this question last month only 22% thought RBA might be involved in killing the man in order to create a bullet-proof hometown alibi.  With the inclusion of Bert’s nightmares and Reiner’s shady expression, it looks like more people are coming around to the idea.
Why the hell people still think RBA or RA killed that man? It makes absolutely no sense and has no basis in the story.They kept saying it last chapter and it was proven wrong, and now they say Bert just didn't know about it? Really? Why wouldn't they tell him? They always discuss everything together, why not this? That look Reiner gave Bert was just him worried about his friend having nightmares or, if he's in his warrior mindset, worried that it might affect his performance.
I think Reiner was clearly involved in the hanged man's death, but there's little to zero evidence Annie was involved. I think this chapter also emphasized, despite his affection for Bert, how unreliable Reiner considered Bert to be.
'the man who hung himself' srsly the answers right there are u retarded?
I actually think Reiner killed the old man solo and didn't tell Bertholdt and Annie, though I'm not quite sure why he would do that.
  CHAPTER 97'S "HOT OR NOT"
Tumblr media
Annie got the most positive responses but it seems everyone is this chapter is hot except poor Magath. (That’s ok, Theo. I will continue to love you!)
Kenny is hot, Eren will be hot when he takes a shower, Reigner is hot too but is also broken beyond repair. This chapter fucked me up, everyone needs a rest.
You much awesomeness in this chapter! Willy is hot af!
I want Kenny to be my sugar daddy
My beautiful best girl Annie is back, and is cuter than ever. I love her. I want her to come back
my son looks like a hobo and I don't know how to cope with this
eren should fucking shave
Magath is making me wet with his humanity once more.
Annie is bae
  WHO WORE IT BETTER?
  LONG HAIR (1,172 RESPONSES)
Tumblr media
For the "who wore it better" for long hair I didn't choose because both Willy and Eren look fab
Eren always looked a lot like his mother, but now he started looking like grisha too
The old Eren can't come to the phone rn. Why? Cause he's DEAD
eren became daddy
Eren looks like a pedo-hobo hybrid just so everyone knows.
How dare you not like Eren's hair mom
 👀
  PIGTAILS (1,126 Responses)
Poor Mina. Less than 30% felt like the original was better.

Thank you fandom! My faith is restored.

THE " OH CRAP I'M USELESS" EXPRESSION (1,180 Responses)
Eren wins for now but hopefully Falco  has a few more years to work on mastering the expression.
Tumblr media
  IN THIS PANEL, WILLY TYBUR IS: (1,090 Responses)
Tumblr media
I think if I’d included a “both” option it would’ve been a landslide. Next chapter I hope we see Willy’s “I 💖 Helos” tattoo.
  WHERE DO YOU THINK WILLY TYBUR IS GOING TO LAND ON THE MORALITY SCALE (1,120 Responses)
Tumblr media
The range was from “Cinnamon Roll (1)” to “Final Boss (5)”. Most people seem to think Willy will end up the series being mostly bad news.
I almost wonder if Billy is a red flag and is going to end up dead or eaten instead of serving as a "final boss"
Billy Tybur is totes gonna be morally ambiguous , like every other villain.
DO YOU THINK THE ORIGINAL HELOS WAS AN ACKERMAN? (1,122 Responses)
Tumblr media
  WILLY SAID “MARLEY NEEDS HELOS ONCE MORE.” WHO DO YOU THINK THAT NEW HERO WILL BE? (1,054 Responses)
Tumblr media
We are crazy divided on this question. While most seem confident the original Helos was an Ackerman, we have no idea who the new one will be.  Eren is narrowly ahead of Levi. Mikasa and Zeke are battling it out for third. And even Magath pulled in a  chunk of the vote with almost 7%. Gabi and Falco were popular choices. And Jean, Connie, Flocke, Sasha and Hange all got included as well.
Bertholdt rises from the dead and becomes the hero.
Obviously Mads I mean...duh
Pieck (As expected)
Falco will save marley with his cuteness
I really hope Mikasa, so she can be more relevant again.
I think Tybur referred to himself.
It's going to be Magath, but he will be used as a scapegoat; i don't see willy really trying to change the status quo.
There won't be a new Helos.  The idea of becoming Helos is the apple that Willy is using to tempt Magath into doing something horribly stupid that is probably going to get him killed and fuck up the lives of all of his Titan Children even more.  If that's even possible.
Udon, the reincarnation of Borutoruto, the God of Destruction and the right hand of Our Lord and Savior Reigner Braun.
Zofia, the true key character of this story, Helos reincarnated, Bringer of Doom and Savior of the Weak.
WHAT’S THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PANEL OF ZEKE ON THE PHONE: (1,100 Responses)
Tumblr media
Slightly more than half the fandom believe the single panel of Zeke was included because he’s on the receiving end of Eren’s letter.
zeke looked like a fucking 70s teenage girl talking to her crush on the phone in that panel and that is the best part of the chapter to me
Zeke might be listening to the Willy/Magath coversation via a bug, or Magath wearing a wire. A Zeke/Magath plot is possible.
Significance of Zeke's panel is Zekerets
zeke's totally plotting something- don't know what but there's no way he's not. oh and eren pls. the mop needs to go.
I think Zeke was plotting with Magath, not the Tybur
I feel like Zeke being on the phone IS significant but not for any of the answers listed so I just had to say none.
what if Zeke was talking to one of the SC members & said something along the lines of ""He's here"" or something like that? Just thought that would kinda be badass.
  IS EREN IN MARLEY ON A PERSONAL MISSION OR A SURVEY CORPS ONE? (1,108 Responses)
Tumblr media
I was a bit surprised that this chart was so lopsided. I think a strong case could be made either way as to whether or not Eren is operating alone.
The "It's hard for me to show my face to my family now" line honestly has me worried.  If the story takes it down this path as opposed to what we expect, then something ground-breaking must have happened during the time-skip.  Eren, Mikasa, and Armin have been through everything together.  If that was somehow torn apart, then so will my heart.
I wonder if Eren saying that he "can't go back" is a reference to Paradis (and he's acting on his own) or a reference to a more innocent past, where they knew nothing of the world and he didn't have all these memories inside him
I'm surprised there wasn't a question about whether or not Eren being there meant EMA separation, but I guess that'll be speculated until we get info one way or the other.
WHO IS EREN’S LETTER ADDRESSED TO (1,105 Responses)
Tumblr media
The majority say the letter is for Zeke, but some write-ins include Pieck, Marcel and the Restorationists. Annie’s father showed up several times as well.
This question is Annie's father who happens to be harboring the Survey Corps
Armin and Mikasa explaining why he left alone without warning them
Eldian doctor that work with the owl
I think all these options are possible but I hope it's for Reiner.
I'm still debating on who it is but it's either Zeke or the SC
It could be either one of the survey corps or annie's father. I don't know, let's see in the future chapters ^^
It's not addressed to anyone, but delivering it is a signal to the others "Begin Operation Grim Reminder 2.0"
it's probably Zeke but I hope he contacts Reigner at some point
WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO SEE IN CHAPTER 98? (CHOOSE 3) (1,190 Responses)
Tumblr media
The recipient of the letter was top pick with 54% followed by the Tybur Family Festival with 44%. “The Survey Corp” and “Reiner and Eren Reunion” tied for third with 40.4%.
I really hope we don't have to wait too long to learn more about Eren's letter like we did with Ymir. Nonetheless I'm looking forward to future chapters!
I really need to see the Warhammer Titan in action
Can Reiner just be happy for once. Like please
This is it. Next chapter we'll get to see everyone else from paradis whether they're in Marley or not. It's the end of the volume! AAAH!
Damn excited for that festival!!!
Marley final arc is clearly a go now. Eren's in place, I suspect the Survey Corps are in place, reintroductions will happen soon and then everything will get moving. I still stand that 96 felt like stalling, but I totally get it, Isayama wants a big ch. 98 moment and we're getting it.
I really want to see more of Pieck and Porco. PLUS I want to see Porco meet Historia because that'd be an interesting conversation/fight!
I want to see adult Annie and Mikasa, and also Historia
My heart is beating whenever I think about chapter 98.
I'm really looking forward to knowing what the end-game is, and what plans the Teibers and Zeke have. Also, I'm really looking forward to what Eren is up to. I think next chapter is going to be a doozy and I can't wait!
  HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT TO RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL CAST ON PARADIS? (1,189 Responses)
Tumblr media
Last month 58% would sell theirs souls to see the original cast. That was down very slightly this month to 54%. Despite Eren being included in this chapter most are still anxious for news about the rest of the Survey Corps.
With Amputee-kun being Eren, there is no reason to want to return to Paradis. The important stuff is happening in Liberio, Paradis has nothing new.
Now that eren is back i think that the story will stay in Marley till the end, barring the occasional flashback
Would like to see how the original cast looks now.
I miss Levi and it's been so long since we've seen any of the main cast.  It's nice to see the effects of the last four years on Reiner, but I'm very curious to see how Levi and the rest of the SC are dealing with their new knowledge, the loss of Erwin, their island without titans.  Please, please get back to the main cast. 
I wonder what is Mikasa's and the others' view on Eren's doings (yeah i understand that Marley is important but gimme Paradis already... please?
  WHICH CHARACTERS DO YOU GENERALLY ENJOY THE MOST (1,195 Responses)
Tumblr media
Very little changed from last month. I suspect it will remain consistent from here on out.
I love the 104th with all my heart!! But they can only truly qualify as my favourite group if RBA are included...
  WHERE DO YOU PRIMARILY DISCUSS THE SERIES (1,103 Responses)
Tumblr media
 We took away the “other” option on this question to simplify the results and  allowed people to check more than one. Hopefully this makes a better reflection of how we are discussing the series.
Thoughts about Reiner
Since I screwed Reiner over in the best/worst question, here’s a whole section of love for him
GIVE. REINER. HAPPINESS. NOW!!!
Plot armoured Titan strikes the feels.
#save reiner braun
Give Reiner some hapiness Isayama :(
That sequence of flashbacks interwoven with Reiner's suicide attempt are some of the strongest pages of this goddamn manga. I was so shook by it when I first saw it that I was left in a morbidly awed silence at how powerful the delivery was. I actually couldn't speak, so bravo isayama.
Reiner deserves all happines in this world
Reiner's suicide attempt made me cry and I've never been any more sad reading the manga..... Suicide is just such a realistic issue in reality that seeing it snk has affected me more than giant man-eating titans ever will
will reigner ever find happiness :(
Man I just really want Reiner to be happy :,((((
Give Reiner some happiness in his life, please ;_;
I hope ReinerxHappiness becomes canon someday.
I feel as if I lose 10 years of my life every time I see Reiner's suicide attempt.
Reiner's suicide attempt messed me up emotionally
Reiner's suicide attempt was the BEST part of the chapter
Reiner's thoughts  about  the  past  and  the  following suicide  attempt  will  fuck  me  up  for  a  whole  month. Please  help  him.  
Reiner was so heartbreaking. But so was eren GAH IT WAS SUCH A BITTERSWEET CHAPTER
Other Comments
I can’t list everything, but I read each comment and thank you for sharing your ideas. Some of the longer comments were theories that I enjoyed but don’t think belonged in the poll results. With some longer comments I extracted a few sentences rather than publish the whole thing.
Willy looks kind of handsome and Falco should stop being a warrior and become a mailman.
More Marley please, more revelations, MORE PAIN.
WhaT iS It ERen?
Apparently, in the japanese version, the warhammers identity was more ambiguous and could be anyone my bet would be the tall guard inside the room. Reiners suicide attempt was depressing, especially if you consider that he was feeling guilty for helping eren improve so much which got Bertholdt killed. Hyped to see what Zeke is up to, he may be plotting with Pieck or something against the Tybur idk.
Eren vs Armin for the final arc - you heard it here first
Everytime I see my top 3 characters (Kenny, Jean, Reiner) they are either suffering or in danger, and the fandom is more focused in others like Annie, Eren or Gabi. Then there will be Zeke with a suicidal, Erwin-like attitude. I always thought that Eren was going to meet his grandparents, but I have no clue of what will happen now. Anyways, Billy is an interesting guy, and Eren has reached Jean's maturity level (after Trost). Let's hope Falco doesn't suffer much, because of his two "teachers". Colt looks like a Farlan figure to me.
The art improvements tho. And i did not know that thor moves to snk u know "warhammer titan" stuff. Nice issayama
I am very happy to see again Eren. He is matured a lot, just thinking about the conversation with Falco. But I am sad for Reiner 'cause it was due the Falco's voice to save him from the suicide and so he went to looking for Falco, tell him that everything will be alright. Reiner is concerned to Falco, he wants to be useful for him but BAM, he found an excited Falco (after talking with Amputee-kun). Reiner can't do anything. He is still alone.
Everyone's going gaga for Eren's new look and I'm sitting here like......ehh..? Seeing Jean (stupid, bratty, Jean) for three panels was wonderful. Zeke and Billy best be plotting. I'd like to see their interactions. I like Billy's character design too, especially the nose and hair.
poll is good but you should do some spell check because you mispelled Tybur as Tyber like 9 times lol
(I know! sorry!)
Great poll, as always, and Billy totally wore wore it better. Also, fingers crossed, Grim Reminder doesn't happen.
FALCO IS A FUCKING CINNAMON ROLL AND DESERVES MORE LOVE!!!!
Reiner's suicide attempt was absolutely haunting. The fact that he didn't hesitate as he loaded up the rifle (Even though doing so would consume a lot of time that could be used to be like 'Wait what am I doing'), the way it was interwoven into the flashbacks (made it seem that everything just piled and piled on him until finally he couldn't take it anymore), the fact that Reiner didn't seem to be thinking about anyone until Falco showed up outside (and that he seemed to only be motivated to live due to the Titan shifter candidates, which would imply a lot about his current connection to his mom ;_;). That shit left me in emotional pain for two days, not even joking. 
the Reiner/Eren parallels reminded me of their fairly friendly dynamic during their 104th days and gave credence to my mini-theory that Reiner asked Eren to come with him and Bertholdt because he was sentimental ;_;. 
"Deer Isayama Reiner is reindeer Jean is horse Conny is monkey Armin is rabbit Zeke has zekerets And Pieck is exactly right"
I just want to hug Reiner, telling him "it's just two more years, come on, you can do it. Help the younglings and then you'll meet Bert again". Plus, I really really hope that Isayama is showing us a lot of Annie to hint she's soon getting out of that f***ing crystal!
Finally a decent chapter; we have the plot moving forward with the Teiber-Magath convo and the Eren reveal, we have some nice flashbacks and also some character development (Eren maturing and Reiner hitting rock bottom :'( ). The pacing was great, not too much focus on one single thing like last chapter.
Eren is Daddy now and that's all my mind had been able to thoroughly process with this chapter. 
Friendship between Reiner and Bertl was strong in this one. I want... MORE. I would also like some back story on the berb turtle please thanks bye
I have a feeling that Annie is starting to side with Paradis Island (Isayama seems to keep dropping hints).
No. Annie still isn't going to switch sides.
im crying in the club
grim remind me Armin
Every time the warriors are hurt in any way shape or form a hostage dies, you've been warned Isayama-sensei.
Hoping to God Willy/Billy is actually Vili
Yeah could we stop with these flashbacks of Annie and actually see her in the present for once? Thanks bye.
Willy's nose is suspiciously like Armins. I realize they're all related, but the nose makes me wonder if he's an Arlert. If so, is Armin the true hero, as Eren predicted?
i was annoyed with the marley arc the first chapter but now am loving it & the marley mandem. i also used 2 think amputee-kun was 2 people (eren & someone else) but now idk
EXTRA DANCC
I think it's high time we see Pieck being exactly right again! It's been 2 WHOLE chapters man, I need my feed of Pieck
I'm worried to death that Eren is gradually losing his spark D:
When will we see the concluding conflict of this beautiful series? Who will die and survive?
can't wait for Isayama to wreck us with feels and revelations
Seeing Kenny again was such a blessing. Also, I'm super excited where the whole Tybur thing is going and can't wait for the revelations we are bound to see sooner or later.
Love it when Isayama tortures Annie and Reiner.
I think, Reiner sees himself as he sees or remembers falco (whyyy i'm crying when i see this boy???!!! And I see bertolini and reinder when they still a trainee wth i'm dying. Thank you Isayama). it give me heart attack too when seeing reiner and that gun in his hand.
although reiner's almost-suicide attempt was tragic, i feel like it was a long time coming. it seems like isayama has been building up to it for a while
"Light of of the Seven" played in my head when I was reading the chapter. I bet next month "The Rains of Castamere" will be played instead
eeeEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK
I wonder why Isayama decided to put that panel of Zeke right before Eren gives the letter to Falco. It could have been placed somewhere else, but I think he put it there to signify that Eren's letter is to Zeke (or maybe his grandparents?). But a lot of people think its to the Survey Corps, so... 
How is Annie so much shorter than Kenny how tall is he???
Unexpected turn of events w/the Tybur controlling Marly. Such a shock! Isa will choose more shocking reveals. Im scared. The end will be the hardest choice between the lives of one side opposite the other.
I was so happy to see the Marley arc merge with the Survey Corps and pre-Marley arc events with Eren. It really marks the beginning of something new and epic. That letter is gonna set so many things in motion, and now that we have been properly introduced to the holder of the 9th titan's power, things are bound to be more interesting.
One of the best chapters so far. If not the best.
LET EREN ADOPT FALCO
do you think they have sour cream in marley
(This last was comment played out on Reddit and Tumblr . The OP reached out to me and mentioned that they were eating mexican food while taking the poll. Mystery solved!)
