Chapter Eleven

Summary: When you hear that your recently deceased grandmother left you her property in her will, at first you think that a dinky old cottage in the middle of nowhere isn’t going to mean much for you. But after spending a night there, you discover something far more valuable than the house itself: a hidden door that leads to another time, the same place but over 200 years in the past. In the late 18th Century, there is a king who will die before his 21st birthday unless you can save him. Will you help him, even if it means leaving your own life behind?

A/N: This chapter is a little different, it’s in Yoongi’s point of view. I was going to make it Chapter 10.5 since it kind of occurs alongside Chapter 10 chronologically, but I didn’t want anyone thinking it wasn’t necessary to the plot, because it definitely is. Let me know what you think!

--

"Can't you just let me go with you, hyung? I'll be good!"

This kid. Yoongi shakes his head firmly, hurriedly grinding some herbs together for a last-minute clarity charm. "You mess up enough here as it is. I can't leave something like this up to you. Besides, Y/n specifically asked for me to go, didn't she?"

The shaman tries to ignore the way Taehyung fixes his puppy dog eyes on his elder. "But what will I do when you're gone? I'll be all bored and alone."

Tipping the ground herbs into a small vial, Yoongi's voice is flat as he makes sure the vaguely green dust makes its way into the vessel. "Then go back to the palace and keep Y/n company. Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. Alright, I need to leave. Be sure to leave the portal door open, but lock the front door with the hex charm; do you remember it?"

Taehyung seems affronted at the suggestion. "Of course I can do a hex charm, Yoongi. I'm not incompetent, you know..."

Yoongi straightens up and stares at the boy who's pouting in the kitchen. Feeling a sliver of guilt, he sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "Listen," Yoongi says, voice gruff but apologetic, "I'm just making sure. I'm trying to keep you safe."

"Forget about it," Taehyung mutters under his breath, studiously ignoring his elder as he grabs an apple for the road and shrugs on a coat. "I'm going, like you wanted."

Yoongi winces when the heavy wooden door slams behind his assistant, and he stands in silence, listening to the the light scrape of Taehyung’s fingernail against the door, paired with the muttering of an ancient Chinese spell. Most of the magic Yoongi used nowadays were more modern Korean methods, but for the more basic enchantments, it was common to use the original spells.

Finally, all was quiet again. Yoongi cleared his throat to try and break the melancholic gloom he had slipped into, and double-checked the minimal belongings on his person before he left. He was not going to be in the modern world long, would not even have to leave the confines of the house itself, but Yoongi never went anywhere without a small leather pouch of basic ingredients tucked into his belt, the glass vial of a clarity charm dangling on a cord around his neck, and a small blade in his boot. All things proceeding as planned, he wouldn’t need them.

The first thing Min Yoongi noticed about the future was how clean and bright everything was. Gone were his heavy curtains, dark walls and sooty hearth. He emerged out into a hallway (something only palaces were large enough to have in his time, but he was familiar with them nonetheless) with a strange spongy fabric floor and impossibly straight, flat walls that appeared painted uniformly. He couldn’t imagine the finesse it would take a painter to manage to evenly coat this expansive surface without leaving streaks. Perhaps magic was more commonplace in this day.

Yoongi had been here once before, to lure Y/n back to his time, but he had transformed into a cat, then, and it was the middle of the night, rather than the break of day. Unsure which direction to go, he followed the hallway left, until he made it to the very end. “She said the communication device was in her sleeping quarters. Here, she wrote down some instructions for its use.” Yoongi felt for the note again in his pocket, comforted by the crisp edge of the thick paper. He had read that note to the point of rote-memory, but was glad it was there anyway. All Yoongi had to do was locate a bedroom, and then the ‘phone’ would be on a wooden stand beside it. He was actually feeling some excitement unfurl within him to find this device; from Y/n’s description, it sounded like a very complexly enchanted item.

As Yoongi made his way from room to room methodically, ignoring everything that wasn’t a bed (even though he was desperately curious to try out the bath – something he recognised from his time, but seemed far more refined) he thought over his previous encounter with Taehyung.

Was there really such a need for Taehyung to take everything to heart all the time? That boy was too sensitive for his own good. It would get him hurt one day.

When Taehyung and Yoongi met, almost three years ago, the shaman wasn’t looking for anyone. In fact, he had sworn off ever taking an assistant again after… what had happened with the last one, but Taehyung was insistent. His parents didn’t want him working on their farm anymore, he had said, and the King’s Guard wouldn’t take him in. He would have nowhere else to go. Perhaps Yoongi should’ve seen that as a sign that the boy wasn’t a particularly capable worker, but instead he had opened his arms and welcomed him in. He never had been able to say no to a pretty face. Yoongi thought maybe that was his biggest flaw yet.

Behind the fourth or fifth door, past the small door in the wall from whence he came, Yoongi found a bed, wider and more lushly decorated than the modest shelf-and-blanket combination he had. Letting out a gasp of relief at the chance to distract himself from the memories of his assistants, he rushed forward into the room, scanning it for a wooden stand.

Directly to the right of the bed is a short, squarish cabinet. On top is a small metal box with glowing red numbers, a very glossy and crisp book, and a small black device. Yoongi consults with the slip of paper, and tentatively touches the tip of his finger to a protruding button. Gasping with wonder as the surface lights up, Yoongi realizes there are words on the screen, all gathered in small boxes. He takes the time to read some of them, having to re-press that button as the screen keeps going dark after a few moments.

   Jimin, 8:21pm: r you still busy at the house? can u please just text me back baby, if ur busy thats okay, im just a little worried out u, thats all… it’s getting late…

   Jimin, 10:49am: okay, im heading off to work, flick me a text when u get this xxx

   Jimin, yesterday 5:11pm:  we dont have to if you don’t want to

   Jimin, yesterday 4:28pm: date night tonight? xxx i feel like i havent seen you in ages baby xxx

There are more, but they disappear out the bottom. Yoongi frowns. He thinks he remembers this Jimin; if memory serves, it was the sleeping male curling up to Y/n when he briefly visited her dreamscape. Yoongi had been so caught up in making sure she fulfilled her end of the deal that he had almost forgotten she had a life outside of their time. Those messages were a sobering reminder of how much Yoongi was asking from her. How much she was giving up. He didn’t like that feeling.

Clearing his throat noisily in the early evening silence, he picks up the device delicately and places it on the bed, flattening out the note beside it. Y/n’s instructions make sense as he follows along, although it takes him a while to work out what she means by ‘text bubble icon’.

Once he reaches that screen, and clicks on the name ‘Jimin’, those same messages appear, but in a different format. “I’ve already seen these,” he tells the device. The device does not respond. “I seek to create one of my own.” He sighs. The magic on this glass apparently cannot react to voice, only touch. He reaches out and clicks on the small white box that says ‘iMessage’ in grey. “Yes, I do want to message,” he mumbles distractedly. A large array of small letters appears below. Y/n wrote down to tap each square to write the letter. It seems an awfully impersonal way of writing, and it takes Yoongi quite a long time to tap out what Y/n has asked him to write, as well as pressing a small blue arrow to the right, which pushes the message upwards, resting directly below those from the Jimin.

   omg im so sorry i missed these jiminie ㅠ ㅠ i hope ur not too worried.

   im ok, just not been feeling great so ive been sleeping a lot! im not sure yet if its contagious so pls dont come out, i know uve got that show coming up and i dont want u to get sick ok!

   love you lots baby!

Yoongi sighs once he finishes, resting back on the bed, but soon three bouncing dots appear in a box. He watches them dance, fascinated, wondering what this could mean, until they change into words. Y/n did tell him that Jimin would be likely to reply and had simply written on the bottom of the note, ‘no apostrophes, or capital letters, call him baby or jiminie, and make sure he doesn’t come out to the house!’

   Jimin: omg thank god ur safe i was worried!!! i can bring u round some fresh soup and we can have a night in xxx ive already had my flu jab so i wont get sick i promise lol xx

Yoongi swears, trying to speed up his reply, double-checking Y/n’s rules as he goes.

   thank you, baby, thats very kind of you. but please dont come out, im just going to go to sleep and hope that this sickness passes in time. i will notify you once

But before he can finish crudely dictating a message, a series of three hard raps echoes through the house. Yoongi stands up ramrod stiff. Surely the Jimin boy hadn’t arrived so soon? Although, Yoongi supposes transport must be more efficient in this time. He bites his lip nervously. Surely, it would be best to go ask him to leave. It was Y/n’s intention that Jimin did not come to the house, since she herself was absent, and Yoongi could not have the boy roaming around and discovering the portal’s entrance.

“Y/n?” a deep voice calls out, muffled through the walls. Yoongi swears under his breath and pockets the small device and the note, getting off the bed to go find the front door. “Are you there?” Hurrying faster, the shaman eventually locates a door with a clouded glass panel revealing a tall shadow. He fumbles with the doorknob, having to twist a key (thank God that technology hasn’t changed) to unlock it, and throws it open with a nervous huff. The man blinks once, furrowing his eyebrows. “Uh…hi?”

“Yes, hello,” Yoongi blurts out hastily, eyes roaming over the tall man. Although he saw Jimin in very dim lighting, it’s easy to tell that this is not the same man. “Who are you?”

The man is wearing rough-looking blue pants with a belt, and a tunic that’s cut at his hips instead of his legs. He holds a hand out to Yoongi. Yoongi stares at it until the man coughs and lowers it. “My name’s Namjoon. I didn’t mean to interrupt, I’m just here to speak to Y/n.”

“What-” Yoongi’s words catch in his throat when he lifts his gaze from the man’s odd attire to his face. It can’t be. A bolt of deeply-repressed hurt cuts through him. He recognizes those dimples, that smile, even the name is the same as his. It was a face he never thought he’d see again. But, no. It isn’t him. The more Yoongi looks at him closely, the man going a little red in the cheeks under the sudden scrutiny, Yoongi can see the finer details aren’t right. His Namjoon had a narrow nose, more delicate face. His Namjoon wasn’t as tall and was skinnier too. This man in front of him bore shocking resemblance, but it wasn’t him. It wasn’t his Namjoon. Sensing he had been silent too long, Yoongi blinks away the tears that threaten to well. “What for?”

“Oh, uh, it’s kind of private business, dude. Sorry, I didn’t catch your name.”

“Y/n’s sick,” Yoongi says instead, “so I’m afraid you can’t come in. I’m more than happy to pass on a message.”

The man who looks so much like his former assistant furrows his brows. “I’m sorry, who are you? I’d like to speak with her. I’ve been doing some more research for her, you see, really cool stuff on-”

“I’m her doctor,” Yoongi says instead, “I’m concerned she may be contagious, so I’ve advised her not to have guests. If you have the research with you, perhaps I can bring it inside. I’m sure she’d appreciate you coming.”

The guy laughs awkwardly, then digs into a bag at his side for a stack of pieces of paper bound in some floppy, slippery pink material. “I didn’t have time to pick up a ringbinder, so the photocopies are loose, but I managed to dig up quite a bit of the history on the Jeon reign, as well as all the following generations. It’s interesting! Hopefully she’ll get some use out of it.” The man hands the research over, craning his neck to try and glance down the hallway. “Can you tell her hi for me? And that I’m sorry for stopping by without texting ahead.”

Yoongi nods, half in a daze. He doesn’t know this strange feeling in his chest; does he want this Namjoon-not-Namjoon man to leave and never think about him again, or does he wish he would stay so that Yoongi can see just how much similarity there was? The thought comes too late, as the man turns and skips down the gravel path, getting into his car and pulling away without a second look back.

The shaman shuts the door, returning the key to its previous position, and sinks down on the floor. First Taehyung acting up, reminding him of his last assistant, and now this. The fates were being cruel today.

Forgetting about the small device still in his herbs pouch, Yoongi quickly returns to the hallway and crawls through the doorway and back into his own time, trying to ignore the hot tears that gather under his chin.

[bowljet]

I love coming to Austin — It’s a charming city with perhaps the most gracious fans in the country.  This was my second time attending a game at the University of Texas, my first was back in 2014 when the Longhorns hosted BYU.   They say everything is bigger in Texas, and the first thing you think as you approach Darrell K. Royal Stadium is just how big it is.   It’s one of  the biggest stadiums in the country, seating over 100,000 fans.  The gameday experience is fan-friendly with all kinds of interactive things for fans of all ages, and the tailgating scene is vibrant around the stadium and into Downtown Austin.  With No.13 West Virginia in town to face the No.17 Longhorns, I expected a good game.  I told a friend I was with that I expected a shootout and that the last team with the ball would win.  That’s exactly what we got!

Gameday in Austin

TEXAS FOOTBALL BEGINS

The University of Texas fielded its first permanent football team in 1893 managed by Albert Lefevra, the secretary-treasurer of the UT Athletic Association.  The team played four games, two in the fall and two more in the spring, winning all four while shutting out every opponent.  The first was played at the Dallas Fair Grounds against the Dallas Football Club that claimed to be the best in the state.  The game attracted a then-record 1,200 onlookers.

Texas officially hired its first coach, R.D. Wentworth for a salary of $325 plus expenses.  Wentworth’s teams shut out their first six opponents, outscoring them 191–0 before losing their last game of the year to Missouri 28–0.  There were a number of firsts in Wentworth’s one season as head coach at Texas.  The first ever meeting against Texas A&M, which resulted in a 38–0 shutout victory for Texas and the first ever meeting against Arkansas, which was a 54–0 Texas victory, setting the stage for long rivalries with the Aggies and the Razorbacks.

LEGENDARY COACHES

The Longhorns have had a rich tradition of coaches that have strolled the sidelines. Clyde Littlefield was the first to play for and coach the Longhorns.  He was head coach from 1927-36 and led the Longhorns to a 44-18-6 record during his tenure that included two Southwest Conference Championships.  During the Great Depression, Dana X. Bible was hired to be the coach and athletics director.  Bible previously had tremendous success at Nebraska and Texas A&M.  It was a bold move by the university and a decision that would lay the foundation for Texas Football.   In 1937, the Bible era debuted with a 25–12 victory over Texas Tech in Austin.  Texas would only win one more game in Bible’s first year, a stunning 9-6 defensive battle over 4th-ranked Baylor.  The 1938 season would not be any better as the Longhorns only victory of the season was in the final game of the season, a 7-6 win over Texas A&M in Austin.  Fans grew anxious, wanting Texas to dominate the college football scene.

Earl Campbell

Bible proved to be an outstanding recruiter as he brought several outstanding players to campus.   After two rough seasons where Texas won a total of three games, Bible successfully transformed Texas into a national powerhouse.  It began with the 1939 season, as Texas opened with a shutout win over Florida 12–0, followed by a 17-7 victory at Wisconsin.  Then the turning point came in October 1939 when Texas was playing Arkansas in Austin.  Down 13–7 with under 30 seconds to play, and fans heading for the exits, Longhorns Fullback R.B. Patrick flipped a short pass to Halfback Jack Crain who ran 67 yards untouched, to tie the game at 13.  Those same fans that were leaving the stadium came pouring back in and onto the field.  After the field was cleared, Crain booted the extra point and Texas defeated Arkansas 14–13.  This game became known as the “Renaissance Game” of the Dana X. Bible era.   The 1939 season was pivotal in providing momentum for the following decade as Texas would again become one of the most successful teams throughout the 1940’s.  National Championship talks began as Texas compiled their first All-American’s with Malcolm Kutner, Jack Crain, and Noble Doss.  Bible finished his coaching career with a 63-31-3 record, with three Southwest Conference titles.  He would later hire Darrell Royal to serve as head coach.   Darrell K. Royal, a native Oklahoman, coached at Mississippi State and Washington before being hired in 1957.   Royal would return the Texas football program to national prominence, winning Southwest Conference titles six years in a row, and making six straight Cotton Bowl appearances.  During his 20-years at Texas, the Longhorns never had a losing season.  He led the Longhorns to three National Championships, 11 Southwest Conference titles, 16 bowl games, and nine Top-5 poll rankings.  They would have streaks that included 30 straight victories, and 42 consecutive home wins, a run that lasted 1968–1976.  He retired as the most successful coach at the University of Texas, with a record of 167–47–5.   In 1998, Mack Brown was hired away from North Carolina and he quickly became a fan favorite. Brown had a tremendous career in Austin, as he led the team to a 158-48 record.  Under his direction, the Longhorns won two Big 12 Conference Championships, a BCS National Championship, and held a 3-1 record in BCS games.  He finished his career at Texas second in wins only to Royal.

Tradition is rich here! I was absolutely blown away with the pre-game and in game fun! Bevo, a Texas longhorn steer, is one of most famous mascots in the country.  He first appeared during a 1916 Thanksgiving Day game against Texas A&M.  The first Bevo was actually named Bo but came to be called Bevo, after the campus magazine referred to him as Bevo.  The school did not have the money to take care of Bevo and he was not tame enough to be allowed to roam the campus.  He would be fattened up, and served at the football banquet in 1920.   There have been a total of 14 Bevo’s.   Bevo XIV has served since the 2004 season.  Over the years, there have been several great Bevo stories.  Bevo II charged a SMU cheerleader, who defended himself with his megaphone.  Bevo III escaped from his enclosure and ran amok on the campus for 2 days.  Bevo IV attacked a parked car, and Bevo V broke free and caused the Baylor band to scatter.

THE BAND AND TRADITIONS

The Longhorn Band has two songs that capture the crowd. “Texas Fight” is the official fight song of the university, and it is sung to a fast tempo version of “Taps.” The schools alma-matter is “The Eyes of Texas,” sung to the tune of “I’ve been Working on the Railroad.”

Hook ‘Em Horns – the school hand signal, was introduced at a pep rally in 1955. The hand signal is known throughout the entire country and Sports Illustrated featured the Hook ‘Em Horns gesture in front of a Texas pennant on the cover of the September 10, 1973 issue.

Smokey the Cannon, a replica of a Civil War cannon is fired before kickoff and after Texas scores.

The Sweetheart of the Longhorn Band is actually a drum that measures more than 10-feet high.  Big Bertha is considered to be the world’s largest drum (actually second largest) and it is played at halftime and after Texas touchdowns.

Lighting the Tower (also known as the Main Building) in orange for various types of sporting victories. After National Championship victories, windows are lighted in the main building to display a large number 1.

RIVALRIES

West Virginia fans captured a classic

OKLAHOMA  – The “Red River Rivalry” with Oklahoma is one of the oldest and best known college football rivalries. The rivalry originated in 1900, and the schools play at a neutral site, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, during the Texas State Fair.   The stadium is split, with each team having an equal number of supporters on each side of the 50-yard line. Texas state flags fly around the Longhorn end of the stadium and Oklahoma state flags on the Sooner side.    The meeting in 1976 was a heated affair as the Oklahoma staff was accused of spying on Texas’ practices, a move later confirmed by former OU head coach Barry Switzer.  Texas leads the all-time series 62–46–5.

ARKANSAS – These two schools are old Southwest Conference combatants first meeting in 1894.   The Longhorns blew out the Razorbacks 54-0 that first game.  Since then, the two programs have met 77 more times, with Texas holding a decisive 56–22–0 advantage.  The seriest have featured many big games, including the meeting in 1969 known as the true Game of the Century commemorating the 100th year of college football,  This game still does not sit well with Razorback fans to this day.   Arkansas lead the game throughout only to have Texas come from behind and win in the final minutes, 15–14, which led to the Longhorns 1969 National Championship.    The game was attended by President Richard Nixon who crowned the Longhorns the National Champion in the locker room.

TEXAS A&M – The Longhorns won the very first game against the Aggies back in 1894, a 38-0 victory, and actually won the first seven games in this series, all by shutout!   The Aggies decision to join the Southeastern Conference in 2012 effectively ended the 118-year rivalry, with   Texas leading the series 76–37–5.

Thrilling finish

OUR GAME

West Virginia’s Will Grier hit Gary Jennings with a 33-yard scoring pass with 16 seconds left and then ran for a two-point conversion to lead the Mountaineers over the Longhorns 42-41.  Grier’s heroics came just two minutes after Sam Ehlinger had connected with Devin DuVernay on a 48-yard pass, breaking a 34-34 tie.   There were nine lead changes in a game that featured 1,098 total yards and 56 first downs.   It was the best game I have seen this year.

Ready for football!

hey katie--could you do a ranking of all of the amber benson movies you've seen, from favorite to least favorite? :)

This is an EXCELLENT question, thank you, Clem! I took it a little too seriously maybe (and i’m a little drunk and long-winded), but you asked, so I’m giving a good answer ;) 

I pulled out my handy dandy masterlist of Amber’s work and started categorizing her movies! (fun pic to clarify that i am the world’s biggest nerd)

Also please note that these are just my opinions - I am by no means a film critic or an expert on anything, I’ve just seen a lot of Amber Benson movies! 

Never seen: (if anyone has links, send em over please)Hollywood, PennsylvaniaLong Island Confidential

Not yet released: The Griddle HouseSelling IsobelThe Nightmare GalleryGlossary of Broken Dreams

Here’s where it gets fun!

Terrible:Act Your Age - this movie is not very good, and she’s hardly in it, so it gets a “terrible” ranking, yikes!

Meh all around (worst to best):The Blue Tooth Virgin - she’s in literally two minutes. i couldn’t watch the restDon’s Plum - i’ve only seen her parts! and apart from her face, i found them pretty unlikeable. :/ SFW - she’s in like ten minutes at the end. looking very adorable with round cheeks and round glasses. the rest of the movie is just okJack Reed (all three) - TV movies. She was SO YOUNG but she’s only in a couple scenes each. From what I’ve seen, they’re fine, nothing groundbreakingSimple Things - this is just bad, and she’s not really in it that much, but it could be worse. somehow. don’t ask me howKiss the Bride - again, i’ve only seen her parts, and they’re underwhelmingThe Crooked Man - so she plays a nice mom, and then she has a shotgun, and then she wears scrubs and gets murdered. she’s so pretty and tragic. but the whole movie is just…. so shitty and she’s only in 10 minutes of it. so it’s meh

Okay for plot, not for Amber:The Prime Gig - this is actually a pretty good movie! i enjoyed it. she’s really not in it much at all - definitely a background character, and she only has a few lines. but i sat through the whole movie and she looks super badass in her few appearances.Imaginary Crimes - another background character, but with many more lines this time. she’s very young and very adorable. another movie where i watched the whole thing, because it was good all around, and not just for her face! 

Okay for Amber, not for plot: Taboo - oh my god, Taboo. I rewatch this all the time because she’s extra hot in it - she plays drunk the whole time, and at one point wears a nightie and a collar - but oh my god it’s so bad. the plot is weird, the dialog is stilted, the acting is so wooden. just a terrible movie, but with one hot amberIntermedio - see above! she had a broken foot when they filmed this, and is on crutches the whole time. her hair is super long and she wears a pretty short skirt. those are the biggest selling points…. oh and she gets chopped in halfTripping Forward - ugh, i kinda hate this movie, because the leading guy makes me feel uncomfortable. i just don’t like his face or voice or personality. but amber is beautiful and cool and has streaks of blue in her hair. honestly you should skip watching this movie and just look at the beautiful gifs maria made insteadHoliday Wishes - this is hard, because it’s pretty bad, but i want to like it! it’s a christmas movie, she’s in love with a ghost, there’s some body switching, ugh. the plot just really irritates me and i find different things to complain about every time. and whoever dressed her should be fired. but she’s pretty and she’s the lead actress, so that has to count for somethingOne-Eyed Monster - never tell amber this, but i don’t like this movie…. she really likes it so it makes me feel bad to dislike it :/ it’s about these people shooting a porno in the mountains. she’s the makeup artist. ron jeremy’s dick gets possessed by an alien, and it impregnates amber and kills everyone else. it’s so weird and so not my humor…. but amber loves is and amber looks great in it, so, watch it i guess? Attack of the Gryphon - this would be ranked better if the gryphon wasn’t so flipping bad! the cgi just ruins the whole thing. well that and the evil sorcerer’s weird slutty sidekicks. i dunno. amber plays a badass, sword-fighting princess, and at one point (where she’s kissing a mediocre guy) you can see her whole back, which is lovely. she does a cute accent too. this is ranked highest in this category because she worked so hard to do the accent, ride a horse, fight with the sword, etc, but she couldn’t save this movie. Pretty decent:Latter Days - a heartwarming film about gay love! amber isn’t a huge character but she’s good.Another Harvest Moon - another heartwarming one, this time about folks in a nursing home. amber has blue hair again (what’s with her and blue hair) and it’s very sweet! The Crush - just. iconic. watch it. she’s so little and it’s just a really really good filmDust Up - a slightly weird Western horror type movie. lots of gore and drugs. she is a total badass at the end. and holds a baby! mom!amber! Desire Will Set You Free - the biggest selling point is the lesbian sex scene. i don’t super love most of the movie, probably because i’m a boring old lady who’s not involved in the berlin gay party/drug scene. but her parts are excellent and she kisses a lady!!!! and protects a beautiful trans lady! she’s so good! King of the Hill - possibly her favorite film she’s ever worked on, and one of her first. it’s really good. young Jesse Bradford is the lead character. she’s got a small part as his neighbor. she got to dance with him and kiss him! and then have a seizure on the floor. she’s very good and the film as a whole is excellent. long and slightly depressing, or maybe just bittersweet, but definitely a good one. House of Demons - this is high on the list because i literally just watched it. she’s a hippie! who time travels! and she trips on acid! she’s very pretty and angelic, and the film has a really interesting premise. definitely will watch again. The Killing Jar - oh i unabashedly love this. she’s a small-town waitress who gets held hostage at her restaurant. no spoilers but she doesn’t die, woohoo, and is a lowkey badass. add her pretty face and southern accent and it’s just great.

Amazing:Can’t Hardly Wait - ok forget the fact that she’s in it for like two seconds, i fucking love this movie, it’s so goodBye Bye Love - tiny teenage amber and eliza! ahh i love this. another heartwarming one. she has a decently big role and she’s just so cuteChance - YES. love. so much respect for amber. she wrote and produced and directed and starred and edited. and kissed james marsters. and was amazing. go watch this! it’s on youtube! she’s incredible! Lovers, Liars, and Lunatics - all of the above (minus the kissing) but better. funnier and tighter. she’s an adorable clumsy burglar. it’s excellentStrictly Sexual - ohhhhh god oh god. she’s not the most likeable character but holy fuck is she sexy. there’s just…. a lot of sex and drinking and smoking, a lot of excellent outfits, a lot of cursing, a lot of amber being to-die-for sexy and gah. plus she’s in the whole thing! as ¼ of the main cast! lots of sexy amber! Race You To the Bottom - !!!! i love this movie!!! so much!!!! she is just incredible. and it’s a good movie too! i mean again she’s not the most likeable, and neither is her love interest, but it’s okay because she’s so hot! and she’s again in the whole thing, but this time as ½ of the main cast, and therefore she gets almost ½ of the screentime and it’s so so so good7 Things To Do Before I’m 30 - MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE AMBER MOVIE. oh my god it’s just the most amazing thing i’ve ever seen. she’s so adorable through the whole thing, and she’s IN the whole thing! as the star! the lead character! the one who all the plot revolves around! !!!!! do you know how groundbreaking that is for an amber movie!!!! not to mention she looks SMOKING the whole time. i mean how many times have i reblogged the bikini scene??? watch it for that alone. you’ll start it for the bikini and then continue for the adorable love story and her character arc. oh my god just go watch this movie now

to anyone who read this whole thing… bless your heart. thank you clem for letting me yell about amber so much. i think ive spent my whole tumblr career building toward this ask. thank you thank you and i love you clem and i love you all and i love amber benson the most!!!!

(see we’ve come full circle because clem made this for me and now i’m amber hugging clem) (does that make sense)

10 and 18 for EVERYOOOOOOONE

ok ive been staring at this for ages here’s the whole magical dork squad

Georgia

10: their fashion sense

While Georgia’s an emo nightmare, she’s far from the biggest emo nightmare of the group, and she goes for function over form. Comfort is king! She does sometimes wear skinny jeans but only the super stretchy, super comfy kind. With pockets. She doesn’t own a single pair of pants/shorts without pockets. You have to have pockets, it’s mission critical

Nearly everything she owns is black, black and white, black and red etc. Lots of band-merch armbands, pins etc.

Dyes her (naturally brown) hair black but is pretty casual about maintaining it so she’s usually got roots showing. Doesn’t give even half a fuck about this.

She really likes how a lot of musicians she listen to dress, but acknowledges that would take too much effort to do in every day life so she doesn’t really try to emulate them.

18: how they sleep

Limbs everywhere, taking up as much space as possible, tossing and turning and fidgeting endlessly until she finally falls asleep. Does wake too easily, and can be a grumbly morning person, but she can wake up quickly if she needs to.

Everyone else under the cut bc this post is going to be very long

Tiff

10: their fashion sense

Tiff really likes long, flowy skirts! They aren’t really the best thing to wear for adventuring so she ends up in comfy jeans more often than not. In the summer she’ll wear them with tank tops, in the winter with sweaters. Doesn’t really like shorter skirts, or shorts for that matter.

Likes to wear her extremely curly hair down. In the summer that’s a bit warm so she’ll wear it up. Her hair is one of her favourite things about herself, so she likes to do it nicely, if simply.

18: how they sleep

She often lies there grumbling to herself because she can’t turn the brain off, so she ends up going over and re-going over conversations that didn’t go the right way, getting into arguments with her own imagination and so on. Usually sleeps on her side. Tends to get to sleep eventually - she’s better at not picking up the damned phone than some of her friends!

Leto

10: their fashion sense

Leto favours lighter colours and simpler designs. There are some fabrics she Just Can’t Stand, she just likes soft and comfy clothes, the textures of things like stiff polyester are just Hell to her.

She technically owns a lot of clothes because her adoptive father used to buy her so many things because he figured she’d like something, but she picked out her favourites and just wears them. Has a small collection of soft tees, a couple of jackets, and some pants in her room.

Does Not Like skirts or dresses. They Do Not Feel Right. She’ll wear shorts when it’s warm, as long as they’re inch-above-the-knee length or longer.

Usually wears her hair up in a simple ponytail.

18: how they sleep

Constantly shifting to find Optimal Pillow Temperature and Proper Sheet Texture. Some nights it takes her forever to even begin to contemplate falling asleep because she has to keep tweaking her position and making changes in pursuit of acceptable relaxing conditions.

Once she actually gets comfy she’s fine and falls asleep easily, but she can’t try to sleep if it’s wrong.

Lucas

10: their fashion sense

The true emo nightmare. The Aesthetic is all that matters. Black skinny jeans (rips strictly optional but often looked upon favourably), black band tees, hoodies, black Converses, even black eyeliner (which he is better at applying than Georgia, even though he just smudges it on).

He goes to the effort of straightening his hair, because he feels like his naturally wavy hair doesn’t fit into The Aesthetic and isn’t the Right Look (he is being an idiot about this). He dyed his hair black (he’s light blonde) when he was like, twelve, but it looked Awful TM. He’s learned. Also he ended up with a dyed hairline for like, a week? And Lachlan wouldn’t let it go? Not going through that again.

18: how they sleep

Usually, curled up in a tiny ball. Is a Big Dumb Idiot about his sleeping schedule so he’s often up on his phone until stupid o’clock in the morning.

Lachlan

10: their fashion sense

Hey you know how we all have that one friend with the somewhat concerning collection of goofy socks? Lachlan’s the sock friend.

Comfort is paramount. Memes are secondary. He has a lot of stupid shirts.

He has quite a few accessories he bought just because they made him laugh. He usually buys them in twos and tries to give them to Lucas but for some reason Lucas doesn’t want to wear Barbie: Life In The Dreamhouse hats and Hello Kitty watches.

That’s okay, Lachlan figures, he has other friends. (Georgia ends up with a lot of these things. So does Nina. Leto used to but Lachlan did notice Leto never wore them).

18: how they sleep

While he’s like Georgia in that his limbs will go anywhere and everywhere, Lachlan just goes completely dead weight.

Nina

10: their fashion sense

Bright colours with a slight pop-punk edge! Doesn’t usually care about pockets as she’s almost always got her neato bag of holding with her anyway.

Has some bleached streaks through her (naturally black) hair, and switches up the colours on them every couple of months. Favours purple and sunflower yellow.

Wears bright, loud makeup. Is dying to put makeup on her friends but most of them won’t let her. Keeps offering anyway. Lachlan JUMPS at the chance because that sounds like so much fun.

18: how they sleep

Hey Nina get off your phone and go to sleep.

Antonio

10: their fashion sense

He’s almost always wearing his long khaki jacket. He just. He likes it. He likes midwash blue straight-cut jeans. He likes comfy tees, usually in white. He has a few graphic tees related to things he likes, but he doesn’t like being asked about them by well-meaning strangers so he doesn’t often wear them.

18: how they sleep

Yeah if there’s more than like two or three people around, he doesn’t. AJ’s a light sleeper at the best of times. He’s Always Tired.

Dillon

10: their fashion sense

Tank tops ripped jeans runners DONE

Is it chilly? Add a flannel shirt and a beanie. Maybe a hoodie if Nina keeps bugging her about catching a cold.

18: how they sleep

Dillon’s a drooler. Flops face down on the bed, goes dead-to-the-world in three seconds, and snores and drools her way through the night.

Han-jae

10: their fashion sense

Han-jae takes pride in his style. He knows his colours - he looks great in muted navy, thank you. All his clothes fit well. They’re flattering. They’re well made and the fabrics are nice. Every item is well-maintained. He rocks his jeans.

He generally looks pretty understated but put-together! And he’s put a lot of effort into achieving that.

18: how they sleep

Yeah no he’s a dhampir,,

Kevin

10: their fashion sense

Likes things like light coloured loose tank tops with screen printed palm trees. Generally wears some sort of necklace. Beyond that he doesn’t really care and usually defaults to jeans/cotton shorts and runners/thongs (flip-flops) depending on the weather.

18: how they sleep

Look he knows that lucas never sleeps because he’s the person online chatting to him until three in the got damn morning

But kevin is that lucky asshole who can function perfectly on two hours of sleep and a pocket of dreams

He is a cryptid

And an important couple of folks who show up in book four but I’m including them anyway bc they become irreplacable members of The Squad

Finian

10: their fashion sense

Okay uh. Look. Finian’s style is a mess. He hasn’t had time to get used to what’s normal in terms of surface-dweller clothes. He’s new to being able to pick out his own.

Usually he runs around in big comfy hoodies in bright colours, and shorts with garish patterns. He’s still not sold on jeans. Track pants are nice, though.

Georgia will have harsh words with anyone who tries to make him feel bad about it

(Lucas and Sabina will eviscerate anyone who tries to make him feel bad about it)

18: how they sleep

Not… well……. He’s an extremely light sleeper, he’s twitchy, he has nightmares more often than not. Feels more secure in closed-in areas.

Sabina

10: their fashion sense

In terms of casual clothes, a well-fitting tee and a nice pair of jeans is good in her book.

But given she’s essentially a Magical Girl by night she is not afraid of the extravagant. When her outfits are made of magic she favours pink and gold and flowing ribbons and drapery. She’s not going to trip on it. Who do you think she is?

18: how they sleep

She doesn’t need to. That suits her fine.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

since ive decided ask lists are just things i answer all at once instead of reblogging or whatever here's a halloween one ive filled out, as breathlessly exciting an update as any of them

When you die, what do you want done with your remains? • this is a tough one. the deterioration of the body in any form is just like...pretty impossible to make peace with, there's an inherent revulsion there. but i suppose i have to know that when i'm dead i wont care. i dont want a funeral for sure, i mean i think coffins are kind of weirdly gross so just being dumped in a hole is fine, or really just left in the woods for the coyotes is a noble death, or set on fire is fine, or whatever. let science have it

What is the weirdest thing you own? • ive never really owned anything halloween-ish, especially not now. i do have a necklace with a tiny bit of coal from the titanic, there's nothing spooky about that save for a giant dead mechanical behemoth in the frigid pitch black abyssal depths

Have you ever played with a Ouija Board? • no

Do you believe in ghosts? • not "officially," but really yeah sure

Have you ever had an encounter with things that go ‘bump in the night’? • no. once when i was playing in the trees by our house with my sister and her friend and they said they saw a ghost off in the distance, i didnt like to wear my glasses back then so i couldnt have made out whether anything was there or not

Do you have a Deja Vu story? • no it's just happened at random, unremarkable times / circumstances so routine that i'm sure i was remembering the other week or smthing

Do you still trick-or-treat? • no

Have you ever had a black cat cross you, and have a streak of bad luck afterwards? • no i see a black cat every day and for their sakes i wish nobody would think they were unlucky

Least favorite thing about Halloween? • i dunno. bad movies coming out

Favorite thing to do in a Graveyard? • uh try not to step on graves as a show of respect

Favorite Halloween Movie? • i like scary movies in general but i guess im always in the mood for coraline

Favorite Ghost Story? • i dunno...i havent heard many good ones from like, people directly, but then there's snap judgment and stuff. i like the one about a lady moving into a house with a ghost lady teaching her how to use the antique oven and bake pie crusts and protecting her from rude, bloodstain-leaving ghosts

Have you ever contacted a loved one from beyond the grave? • no. i havent even had a real loved one die on account of no close familial relations and being no-friends mcgee

Your biggest fear? • i don't like mold

Favorite Pumpkin flavored food? • pumpkin seeds

Candy corn or Popcorn Balls? • popcorn balls sounds like i'd rather just eat the popcorn loose, candy corn is fine and everyone pretending its uniquely disgusting really ought to just relax

Trick, or Treat? • treat, obv

Do you go to Corn Mazes ? • ive been to one or two i think

Do you believe in Vampires? (not sparkly ones, kids) • you're exhausting, questionnaire. no it was olden people trying to explain disease? and later, why sex is bad

Your scariest memory? • uhh....i dunno i was easily creeped out but also still seeking out horror genre stuff for ages and would be wary af all the time. nothing really comes to mind as "oh man, this was the scariest thing to ever happen to me." being in the bathtub when a circuit breaks is a moment or two of joy, the bottom floor of the dorm i was in for a couple of yrs was a horror movie hallway but also had bathrooms (when the one we shared with the adjacent room was occupied) and a kitchen, and once when i went down there alone i'd taken the elevator (which i also dont love) and the door opened to like pitch blackness and im pretty sure i just waited for it to close and then went back upstairs

Ever heard white noise from a turned off tv or radio? • no

Weirdest Coincidence? • none

Have you ever bobbed for apples? • no

Ever had your fortune told? • no

Favorite skin disease? • what the fuck does this mean!!!! none of them for christs sake
