I regret to inform you all that I have been The Killed 😔

(in the horror movie the gc vaguely spitballed, featuring @wildfandom as The Killer, me as the comic relief that dies tragically in a hunted for sport incident that shifts the tone of the narrative, @nosongunsung11 as the hot one who almost makes it through but winds up bleeding out even more tragically on the chapel steps, and @luckywishi as the Tragic Hero and Final Girl (gn) who doesn’t get The Killed but god at what cost)

Based off this drawing challenge by @1percentcharge!! (Other horror movie sketches and animatic under the cut)

In which I give you.... more prophet story! There are other stories I could share. But you have this for now. Bus scene bus scene bus scene

Smile still placidly in place, Cain studied him again, as if he needed studying. The lights inside the bus glimmered in his eyes. He didn’t realise they were so intense, so gold. “You saw her go, then.”

“Go? Her?” Theo paused a moment. Logic clicked in his head. “You mean Sea? She’s gone?”

“Why else would the wave fall?”

“You broke her.” He’d meant it as a question, but Cain’s smile only grew wider at his words, and his heart dropped. “Wait, you – you can’t. She can’t. None of them can be broken, you didn’t…”

“Who told you that? The priests? The temples? The gods themselves?” He laughed. It was not his laugh. Something prickled up the back of Theo’s neck. “Maybe don’t believe everything you hear.”

The bus jolted, bumping over a pothole in the road. The other passengers swayed and shuddered, holding tight to the handrails lining each side of the bus. Every breath felt thick and warm, uncomfortable, muggy from too many bodies in too small a place. Theo swallowed, trying to regain some semblance of understanding. “How are you alive?” He whispered again, clinging to his initial confusion. “The wave, it… it should have torn you to pieces, the force…”

“If the force had killed me, it would have been Body’s death,” Cain lectured, as if he was an authority in this sort of area, not someone who had spent most religious classes dozing. “She wouldn’t have allowed that. I just had to swim.”

It did look like he had been dragged against the lakebed, mud and grime clinging to him. “I was watching,” Theo said pathetically. “I didn’t see you, you… what’s wrong with your hand?”

Cain glanced down. Theo felt revulsion and horror creep up his throat and stew bitterly. With how his brother’s arm was resting, his palm should have been facing his lap, but it wasn’t – somehow, he had broken it in such a way that it twisted round, palm facing skywards, skin pulled tight against the unnatural positioning.

“Oh,” Cain said. “Right.”

My sister and I watched Barbie of Swan Lake this week and could not stop making this joke once Odette kinda died. (And when her and Daniel both died.)

it's been a strange arc so far

when I was 19-21 and having an extremely imbalanced relationship with someone in their mid 30s I was like 'we are both adults so the fact that this is fucking me up is my fault'

when I hit my late 20s and saw how young people in their late teens and early 20s seem now I was like 'oh wait I was so fucking young I didn't know shit about my own limits or about managing relationships and I don't know why someone in their mid to late 30s would be into that except for nefarious purposes'

the weird bit is now I'm into my 30s - not even that far into my 30s - and while I still wholeheartedly believe that last thing about how young (and self destructive) 20 year olds are, I'm also kind of like 'huh, actually nobody I know that age has their shit remotely together and frankly the reason this fucked me up is because NEITHER of us knew what the fuck we were doing it how to cope, for different reasons and at different life stages, and there probably wasn't any malice or intent to control as much as there was Blind Flailing.'

The thing about being a bitch and a hater is that you need to be charismatic about it for people to still like you somehow. And most importantly you need to be a poor little meow meow people will want to help see win.

Scott's relationship with Jimmy and Pearl is interesting to me

Scott's LL and DL dynamic with Pearl is a bit clearer, where they both loved each other in LL while in DL Pearl began with love for Scott (why wouldn't she?), but Scott didn't share that love for her

Scott also clearly shows that he didn't like Pearl in DL, publicly rejecting her and spreading the story that's she's crazy

With Jimmy, it's interesting because... while I'm pretty sure Jimmy loved Scott, I am however not sure Scott loved Jimmy.

Scott tries to paint the picture that they were perfect together, but that just doesn't line up with how he behaves when it comes to Jimmy For example he extended sympathies to Tango in DL for being teammates with Jimmy, I don't think you would do that if you actually enjoyed being teamed with him in 3rd life

Now, the thing that gets me is that with Pearl, Scott tries to make up to her, because he saw he was wrong. With Jimmy, he still clings to that image of 'the perfect relationship' of 3rd life

I think at least, idk, I'm not Scott, I don't know what's going on inside his brain

I do wish I could understand Scott's motivations sometimes, I love him but he is so confusing to me

Anyways, sorry for writing a lot without actually making a point, I just need to share my thoughts with someone who has a similar 3rd life FH interpretation as me

Sidenote: I use the word 'love' here as the broad term for it, so when I say that Pearl and Scott loved each other in LL, I do not mean they loved each other romantically

hello hello so I dont actually have a lot to add to this bc I think a lot of us are all on the same page about this already buuuuuuut I do have some thoughts on this:

“Now, the thing that gets me is that with Pearl, Scott tries to make up to her, because he saw he was wrong. With Jimmy, he still clings to that image of 'the perfect relationship' of 3rd life”

There’s a few reasons for this (pearl is better at the game than jimmy, scott doesnt see the inherent worth in people and therefore scott doesnt really see jimmy as like. a person) but a really interesting angle to take on this is to examine the difference between how Scott views his platonic and romantic relationships. Granted this is a lot more speculatory than strictly citation based, the only things I’m citing here are Scott’s two perfect jimmy after life endings where the roles are very clear cut despite jimmy not really being. Like That. As well as Scott’s weird fixation on jimmy in particular in DL and beyond (but particularly how he goes about it in limlife + SL as DL is more just outright bullying than weird flirting).

While Scott is still weird about Pearl too sometimes, Pearl is more often the one to bring it up first and most the time I think Scott likes to pretend he doesn’t give a shit about her anymore. Because Scott puts romantic relationships up on a pedestal, he has more rigid expectations about how his relationship with Jimmy was supposed to have actually been like, so in retrospect he’s a lot more willing to glorify it and romanticize what they had than he otherwise would be. He needs to cling on to this whole hopeless romantic with a tragic love schtick as part of his identity or else he dies even though the only genuine human connections he’s made in his entire life have been platonic. He just likes the appeal of being a romantic in theory because he values dedication and loyalty in a way that resonates with the stereotypical storybook romance.

another fact about millie: worst hostage in the entire world because she is insufferable about it. the minute she knows you Need her for something, she is going to start pushing what she’s allowed to do and say. girl who thrives with a gun to her head because she knows you need her alive and can’t pull the trigger.

you really have to admire my dad's cousin for not even telling us my great aunt was sick until she's literally about to go into hospice care while we're all across the ocean, that's such a nice thing to do :)
