MCFLY JULY ‘24 — “i think about it all the time.”

The sound of the bullet bursts in his ears and it hits him square in the chest, pain blooming and bones shattering. It’s Mad Dog, no, it’s Biff, it’s Biff holding the gun, grinning and laughing and laughing, and he’s falling down, down, down as the ground comes closer, closer, closer.

He’ll catch me, he thinks, Doc’s coming, he’ll find me, he’ll catch me.

But he’s not because Doc is lying on the cold unfeeling asphalt of the parking lot of Twin Lone no Twin it’s Twin Pines Mall, dead eyes staring unseeing and unblinking, and he’s alone as the speedometer reads 84, 85, 86, 87 as the ravine gets closer and closer and he sees his grave and Doc’s grave and Dad’s grave and Clara’s grave and Dave and Linda are gone and he’s alone and he and he and he—

He gasps for air.

He runs a hand through his hair, rubbing the back of his neck. He’s covered in cold sweat, his chest is burning, and he’s shivering.

What the hell?

@doctorbrown ‘s face is in front of his.

They’re in the garage. It was a car backfiring.

That’s all.

“…Doc?…” Marty whispers. To his horror, his hands begin to shake, his vision blurring and colors smearing as his eyes fill up with hot, stinging tears. He tries to take a deep breath but it comes out as a sniffling sob and he wishes he could drop dead on the spot.

“Doc, what’s happening to me?…”

All 20 for Gampsable and Corlamanth

okay this is long, but info about these boys under the cut

1. Do they like rain?

Gampsable - Yes. Corlamanth - He has no personal preference, really. I suppose he doesn’t, in a professional sense. Less people out in the rain, really. Althoooough, the ones he does find in the rain tend to be the most fun to toy with. Once upon a time he enjoyed the feeling of rain on his skin.

2. If they have any pets, what are they? If not, what would they have as a pet?

As far as their stories go now, neither of them have pets. Gampsable - He loves pretty much any animal. If you asked him to pick a pet he wouldn’t be able to decide for himself, he’d just get stuck trying to figure out what he Really Really Wants. The best pet for him would be a lizard. A funny little green guy just like him! Corlamanth - I don’t think he’d have a preference any way, and animals tend to avoid him. But, I do think he’d look sick as hell with a raven perched on his shoulder or maybe hanging out on his horns.

3. What do other people tend to think of them?

Gampsable - Weird. Why’s he green? Is that a tail? Must be a cosplayer. Jeez he’s loud. And annoying. Oh no he’s talking to me. Oh, he’s.. sweet.... Oh my god what an angel. Corlamanth - [ f e a r ] That doesn’t last long though, because after they meet him people have a tendency to stop thinking.

4. Do they have kids? Do they want to have kids?

Gampsable - No kids.. and he hasn’t given it much thought at all. If the time comes where the thought does enter his mind, he’s the type to get fixated on it. He’d want to be a dad really bad, and be a Darn Good one!!! Corlamanth - No kids, couldn’t have kids if he wanted. Not that he does. He wouldn’t know what to do with a kid.

5. What’s their favorite color?

Gampsable - Orange. It’s the colour of his best friend’s hair! Corlamanth - Boy you picked an interesting fella! [/s] He doesn’t have a preference. If there was a time he did, he doesn’t remember it. Though he is always surrounded by green and he chose that place for a reason. He may have a deep fondness for the colour that he just doesn’t realize. 

6. Describe their eyes.

Gampsable - Oh boy. His eyes were fucked up by his dad, so he’s got some Wild Peepers. Left eye is all black sclera and a blood red iris. Right eye is your average white sclera with two black rings circling the small iris. It’s a milky pale lavender, just like his brother’s, but his iris is much  Corlamanth - If you ever see them then it’s too late for you.

7. What’s their handwriting like?

Gampsable - Horrible. He’s got chickenscratch  Corlamanth - He’s got some Vintage Calligraphy Font handrwiting, but it’s rare that he ever has to write anything.

8. Any phobias?

Gampsable - Gamp is a pretty fearless guy. What do you expect from a monster who grew up in a swamp? Corlamanth - The only thing Corlamanth truly fears is being forced to stay in hell and never return to the land of the living. Even the obliteration of his soul is better to him than that.

9. If they have a love interest, how did they meet them? How would they describe said love interest?

Gampsable - He had a deep fondness for his best friend growing up, that’s about the closest he’s come to a love interest. He cared for her immensely and was completely destroyed when he couldn’t find her. They met when he crawled up out of the bog one night and ventured up to her father’s property looking for food. He’d say she’s the sweetest, kindest gal he ever done met and he’s hopin’ real hard that he gets to see her again someday. Corlamanth - Again, if he had a significant other or feelings for someone long before he became the demon he is now it’s all lost. 

10. How would their love interest describe them?

Gampsable - Martina would say Gampsable was a lovely fella, but it’s been so long she can hardly convince herself he was even real anymore. She doesn’t even have anything to remember him by. Corlamanth - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

11. How many times have they fallen in love?

Gampsable - I guess just the once, but he’s got a big heart and he loves to love. It’s bound to happen again! Corlamanth -  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

12. How many people broke their hearts?

Gampsable - Just one. Corlamanth - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

13. How many hearts did they break?

Gampsable - None!! And he’d very much like to keep it that way! Corlamanth - Oh, you KNOW there’s plenty of people who wander into the wild and fall for the mysterious man in the forest who then mercilessly turns their brains into mush

14. Favorite fruit?

Gampsable - Peaches! Corlamanth - Corlamanth doesn’t really eat, but when I think of him and fruit I think Sour Grapes.

15. Favorite vegetable?

Gampsable - Southern Boi Like A Corns. Corlamanth - Hmmm..... when I think Corlamanth I think Artichoke. I can’t really remember what they taste like tho.

16. Do they have any mental illnesses? If so, what are they and how do they make everyday life harder?

Gampsable - Ah... yea. He’s certainly not neurotypical, he’s got some stuff in there making it harder for him to grasp certain stuff and connect with people, but I haven’t really put a name on anything yet because I’d have to do research and augh I don’t really think I’m the person to make a character to represent people with any particular mental illness, yknow? Corlamanth - Uh. His brain is... it doesn’t work like any human brain.

17. Did they grow up poor, rich, or somewhere in between?

Gampsable - Dirt poor. Literally not a penny to his name. Apart from meeting Marti, he didn’t actually enter Society until he was a grown-ass man. Corlamanth - :)

18. Where did they grow up?

Gampsable - In the swamps and wetlands way south of the Destin Sea. Raised by gators, living amongst the wildlife. Corlamanth - :)

19. What were their parents like?

Gampsable - His father- the man whose DNA he began as a clone of- is a complete asshat. He thinks highly of himself, believes he’s a genius, and pushed aside or throws away anyone he considers unworthy. He uses and manipulates. He deemed Gampsable a failed experiment and abandoned him as a under-developed child in the swamplands, planning on his death. Too much of a spineless coward to destroy his creation himself. The gators, tho? They were cool. Corlamanth - His birth-givers have been blown away with the sands of time. But he has someone who helped shape him into who he is now. I suppose he’s a parent of sorts to Corlamanth. You might know him-- Satan? Yeah, he’s kind of a jerk.

20. Do they like the ocean? If they do, what do they like about it?

Gampsable - Gamp is all about swimmin and lotsa water, baybee. He’s never been to the actual ocean, but the Destin Sea is big enough for him. Corlamanth - Corlamanth has also never been to the ocean, but there’s no reason to suspect he would Dislike it. He’s also further from the Destin Sea than Gampsable, but he likes it enough to want to stay in the area.

The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand

I started practicing the tradition of reading a Christmas novel during the Holidays in 2016 when I read MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME, a collection of 12 Holiday stories written by 12 different authors and edited by Stephanie Perkins. I don’t remember most if not all of the stories now—I know, I have poor memory—but I still remember MIDNIGHTS by Rainbow Rowell, POLARIS IS WHERE YOU’LL FIND ME by Jenny Han, and WELCOME TO CHRISTMAS, CA by Kiersten White were the stories I loved most. The following Christmas in 2017, I read PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND MISTLETOE by MELISSA DE LA CRUZ. As you may have guessed from the title, PAPAM is a modern and gender-swapping retelling of the classic PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen. Christmas 2018, I skipped and didn’t read any Christmas novel. This Christmas, I read THE AFTERLIFE OF HOLLY CHASE by Cynthia Hand, one of the authors of MY LADY JANE (one of my favorite novels EVER), and boy, was it so good!

THE AFTERLIFE OF HOLLY CHASE is a modern retelling of the classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens, and this is exactly the reason I bought the book. (My mom and I love A CHRISTMAS CAROL so much. In fact, she used to read it to me for my bedtime story, and up to this day, she still has that copy of the book in her possession.) The story is about a 16-year old girl, Holly Chase, who was a horrible human being. Five Christmas Eves ago, she was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Future to show her how selfish and horrible she had become. The Ghosts tried to get her to change her ways but failed. And then, Holly died. Now, she’s working as the Ghost of Christmas Past at Project Scrooge in New York—a job that she hates, by the way, but she has no choice because she’s stuck—where they help to save a miserly grouch, or as they call it, a Scrooge, every Christmas. Holly’s afterlife has been miserable, and she’s just as selfish as ever. That is until she meets this year’s Scrooge...

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS

You’ve guessed correctly! This year’s Scrooge is the love interest! As I am a sucker for romance, I totally love the premise. But if there’s one thing you have to know about the story is that it does not focus on the romance. Yes, it is a love story, but more than romantic love, it is a story about love for family, love for friends, love for fellow humans, and in a way, love for oneself. 

What I really love about this tale is the immeasurable amount of heart that it has. The plot relies heavily on magic, which the characters refer to as “otherworldly stuff,” and I wish Cynthia Hand was able to expound that, and there are some loopholes, particularly towards the end, that left me a little disappointed, but the beautiful message that the story wants to deliver towers over everything else. The story did more good than bad, so I guess I can let the bad ones slide.  

What I love (in no particular order):

Holly Chase. I love that the main protagonist is a bad person. She’s self-centered, materialistic, and inconsiderate. And she knows it. She knows that she’s a bad person yet refuses to do anything about it. But knowing her story, I sympathize with her and can’t help but root for her to grow, change for the better, and get her happily ever after (which she does, just not in the way you would think).

Holly’s fashion sense. COME ON.

Holly and Ethan’s first meeting and flirting. THAT WAS SMOOTH! 

Victoria Scott. I really love that name. 

Stephanie. She’s the kindest and sweetest friend anyone could ever have!

The witty side characters. The people at Project Scrooge: Boz, Dave, Blackpool, Grant, Marty, and Tox. TEAM LAMP FOREVER. 

Holly sacrificing her chance to be with Ethan if that means she could save him from being a failed Scrooge like herself. After all, that’s what true love is about, right? 

Holly coming to her own conclusions and getting her second chance 

Holly’s precious moments with her dad  

Holly and Ethan not ending up together. Very realistic. When Holly said, “I’ll always think about him, for the rest of my life and probably beyond it, about those few months that didn’t happen for anyone but me. I miss him. I love him. But love doesn’t always have to be about the happy ending. Love can be about beginnings, too,” I LOST IT. I’M SO PROUD OF HER.

The happy yet bittersweet ending of the story

Cynthia Hand’s writing. I mean this: “Without stories, we’re all just lonely islands. Stories let us see and hear and feel what someone else does. They build bridges to the other islands. That’s why stories are so important. They create true empathy.”

And all the Dickens’ references, such as, “Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.”

What I don’t like (in no particular order):

What are the rules of this world? How can ghosts and humans coexist and work together? How does all the “otherworldly stuff” even work? 

We saw Holly’s best friend moving on five years after Holly’s death, but not once did we see Holly’s father. 

Some more unanswered questions at the end. For instance, what happened to the Scrooges (like Elizabeth Charles in Chapter Two) that Project Scrooge was able to save in the five years that Holly was working there now that Holly is given a second chance and has returned to five years earlier? Not knowing what happened to them really bothers me. 

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and would gladly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a fun and addictive Christmas read. I adored this book, and I hope you will too. Happy Holidays! ♡

Rating: 4.0/5.0

8. Lo sanno tutti a scuola

Episode 8! Thing are not great for Eva right now. It’s fun that I always start the episodes and think I don’t have that much to say about them, then I always end up writing at least 3 pages of ramblings. This time the topics that came up were Giovanni’s maturity, my headcanons about Edoardo and romance novels. And of course at the end of the post there are the results ot the Bechdel test!

that shot with the sky, Eva and the house with the gradient geometric shapes behind her is gorgeous, jeez

also, the song that mimics Eva’s heartbeat skipping while she looks for Gio

ok, so, did Gio send Marti out or was he leaving on his own?

Marti sure loves his dramatic pauses

and like, Gio was dealing with this in a pretty mature way? Not talking to Eva but not asking anyone else (Marti) to ostracize her, asking her for space and telling her he’ll contact her; except then there’s the “you made everything go to shit”

MARTI FEELS SO FUCKING GUILTY! Look at him, he avoids looking at Eva for too long, his eyes are basically soulless, he’s staring into nothing and hating himself

“Stai tranquilla” says Marti and then again Eleonora, a few minutes later: guys, I get you don’t really know what to say to make Eva feel better, to tell her you’re there for her but “Stai tranquilla” doesn’t help! She feels guilty and ashamed and isolated, she need reassurance she’ll get through this with you!

that scene with “Million reasons” playing 💔 Gio glancing at the back of Eva’s head then turning away 💔 the fact that I can’t see Gio’s eyes properly to gauge how shitty Gio feels, how much he cried, how little he slept 💔

the boys all turning back to look at Eva 💔 Marti lingering 💔 Elia turning Gio’s head 💔 (but also threading his fingers through Gio’s hair 💖)

and it’s so significant that Ele and Silvia get to Eva’s class walking upstream, against the current of people going outside (who are represnt the sheep mentality of high schoolers blaming Eva for Fede cheating because they listen to gossip)

and Eva takes a breath when she sees the girls and she must be so relieved, it must feel like it’s the first time she’s able to breathe properly since Alice slapped her

Silvia keeps looking at Eleonora while she talks, as if looking for reassurance, and I’m so curious! I wanna know if Ele’s looking back, if they’re pulling a full on Elia-and-Giovanni-parenting-Martino!

ohhh, the showdown between Ele and Silvia and Laura and Sara (also, notice how both couples of girls are blonde+brunette?)

that last look between Ele and Silvia before the second group hug! They’re totally concerned moms parenting Eva

that second hug is so soft I’m 💖

oh, poor Eva! As if her week wasn’t bad enough she has to get her period, poor babe

not to mention the misogynistic insults written in the bathroom stall about her

oh God, I know what Eva’s feeling when her mom confronts her: I bet she genuinely hasn’t thought of the fight in a while, more concerned with Gio and the looks and insults and general hostility (on top of school of course) so she’s honestly caught off guard (it happened to me with a professor who took me aside cause he found out I’d let a classmate copy a translation during a test, and I’d completely forgotten about it, I had no idea what the hell he was talking about when he asked me if there was something I wanted to tell him… it was horrible)

Paola is obviously concerned already but I don’t think she’s let herself fully appreciate the kind of situation Eva is in and she only gets a glimpse when she sits her daughter down and listens to her rant, but her expression changes immediately

except them she brings up Giovanni! As if that is the most important thing! Her daughter told her she’s stressed, she doesn’t sleep at night and she latches onto Gio?? WTF

and that sigh at the end, that’s Paola realizing just how much she is in fact out of the loop of Eva’s life, just like Eva told her a minute earlier, cause probably they haven’t talked about Eva’s boyfriend since the failed dinner! She let weeks pass without asking who he is again? Cause Eva would’ve told her if she’d asked around ep. 6, let’s say right after the park scene with Gio

ok, but Eva is slightly stalking Giovanni: they’re in the same class, fine; she went to look for him at his house immediately after the fight, understandable; but when she’s on the steps with Ele?? Girl, he asked you for some space!

Silvia is making good choices as far as fashion consultant go in this season (in S2 however she asks Marti to go shopping with her,so…….)

“You don’t have to wait for his permission, just go there and talk to him” and Eleonora Sava lets me down here. If someone asks you for space, you give ‘em space, love

Eleonora is kind of OOC here: since when is she so concerned with what other people think that she polices what kind of music she listens to and feels like she has to justify herself because of it’s a silly, catchy, pop song?

anyways, this whole scene screams Evanora to me, with pining!Ele trying to distract Eva from Gio and at the same time show her that she’s there, available, look at me Eva, I make you smile!! Men are trash, but there’s *drumroll* girls! Like me! I’m a girl! 

and then Edoardo gets there, interrupts their moment and proves men are trash: he creeps up on them from behind, insinuates himself in a conversation he has no business being involved in and mocks Ele both for her singing, her musical choices and her justifying herself. Primary school level pigtail pulling.

and then he just stares at her! Like a dumbass! Like he hopes she’ll get lost in the bottomless pits of his eyes or something! Like he’s out of a clichè romance novel or a bodice ripper!

new headcanon: Edoardo secretly reads tons of Harmony paperbacks (similar to Harlequin novels, for those of you who aren’t Italian) and all of his ideas and opinions on love and romance come from the books. So far, he’s been the typical rich, popular, brooding hero who loves and leaves with Silvia and now he’s the man who pursues the woman who tells him no with Eleonora so the shoe fits perfectly. Let’s see how it evolves

he offers her a ride home! The only thing missing is a white horse and the slain of some attacker who wanted to hurt Ele

the “Eduardo” thing is so stupid! They could have gone the Eberardo/Everardo route much easily and it would have been much funnier cause it’s an uncommon, pretentious name! Or they could have gone for something completely different like that still started with E, there’s a lot of pretty weird-sounding names like Evaristo, Eusebio, Ermenegildo that start with E (in the og Noora calls William Wilhelm which is pretty different, so I think they would have worked well)

Edo is smart here: Ele tries to shove back in his face the not-knowing-your-name thing he did to Silvia, but he neatly sidesteps her and the only comeback she has is insulting him directly: Edoardo 1 - Eleonora 0 tbh, this is a struggle of wit and she went vulgar

Eleonora is badass, but I can’t help but feel she’s very 16 years old

ok, the following conversation is a bit weird: Eva’s question is pretty clear, yet Ele asks for clarification, then when Eva says she did it on purpose Ele denies, then say the thing about manipulation

the real thing that should worry Eva is that Eleonora has mind categories for the people she knows such as “adversaries” tbh

Eva shaming Ele for listening to Baby K (along with Ele asking for a vow of secrecy and justifying himself for the song she sung) throws me back to ep. 3 when Eva talks to Gio about her classmates enjoying k-pop and manga: girls, who on earth made you believe that liking silly, catchy, fun, pop stuff that is marketed specifically for you, that tries to cater to your interests, that exists and is successful thanks to you, is wrong and something to be ashamed of? Why being passionate about something feminine or light, that doesn’t require a huge effort to understand it, or again frivolous is such a bad thing? You’re allowed to like whatever you want, you’re allowed to spend hours and hours on it and you’re allowed to share your interest with other people like you who enjoy those things! Let the others say it’s trashy or stupid stuff, they don’t know shit about what it means to you!

aaaand we’re back to Eva not giving Gio space, going to his place again then having Marti tell him where he is

and she’s even wearing an oversized denim jacket that’s quite reminiscent of Gio’s!

blue Eva, blue train, blue pool

red Gio! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Gio not wear blue or grey, even in this season?!

this angry Gio is not exactly the same hurt, disappointed boy from 5.6 Quante cazzate in S2, because with Marti it’s been a slow boil, things bubbling up a little bit at a time plus there’s the extenuating circumstance of his home situation; with Eva, there some foreshadowing, something wrong, but it was a sudden stab, a fundamentally unexpected betrayal; so where in S2 there’s a lot of sadness too, in this situation it’s pure anger

and Eva does the right thing, she tells the truth… except she doesn’t, the very first thing she says is a lie she tells both Gio and herself, because it’s not true she isn’t attracted to Federico

AND AGAIN WITH THE SEXIST LANGUAGE GIOVANNI, you asshole, did you really have to go for “hysterical”?? A very gendered term?

and thank God Eva is given a chance to throw it back to his face, all the gaslighting and manipulation he put her through; except then she goes for “victim” blaming

aaaand Giovanni confirms the rumor Eleonora heard, the thing Silvia confronted Edoardo about, is true! In case anyone had any doubts after Edo’s convincing performance of pretending it isn’t a thing

Gio sees right through the lie, he knows Eva likes Federico, if not for the person he is then for the things he represents: Eva is in full on Silvia mindset

I think this is the episode where we meet S2 Gio: except for a few moments, caused by hurt and anger, he handles this whole mess in a mature, contained way that we see again and again in S2, like when he takes Marti aside to tell him off for using him as a cover with his mom without telling him, like when Marti comes back to school after the “hiatus” week or when he comes out; whereas up until now, I’ve seen a younger, dumber Gio, who lied and didn’t give much thought to people’s feeling (like when he teases Federica with Marti in ep.3) and who manipulated people to get his way (the gaslighting, the fight at the park with Eva in ep.6)

the bus being cancelled without warning or being so late it’s as if it’s canceled is such Italian culture

Edo is smart: he doesn’t even know Eleonora’s name, but he kept Eva’s face in mind and he’s found the perfect opportunity to exploit his, albeit limited, knowledge and to appear kinder with at least one of Ele’s friends, since he botched things with Silvia

on the other hand, hello again saviour complex straight out of a bodice ripper

this scene is so Twilight: the expensive, fast car, actually going to school by car at all, Eva being late and in “trouble”, Edo acting like a gentleman and stopping the car for her

Eva is a great friend! She hesitates! Despite having a super important test that could determine if she passes or fails a class! And then she pretends she doesn’t know he’s talking about Ele ad she refuses to give Edo her number!

“Then I save your life for real this morning” what did I say about a saviour complex? Also, way to fish for gratitude and compliments, asshole, let her study!

“I’ll find her on Instagram anyways” arrogance is not the same thing as confidence, Edoardo, and you’re an exemplary display of the first here

Bechdel test: this episode passes the Bechdel test, thanks to Eva’s conversation with her mom Paola and to Eva and Eleonora talking on the steps (except for a very brief mention of Edoardo that I decided to overlook).

This post is part of my complete series of meta about Skam Italia season 1.  If you’d like to read more of my thoughts about the other episodes, you can find the mastepost linked in the top bar on my blog under SKAMIT: EVA. Cheers!
