Location: community center kitchen

Living in the community center had its benefits. Even into the wee hours of the morning, there was usually someone hanging around. So she never lacked for company. It also kept her close to the pantries so she could do stock counts whenever insomnia hit. And best of all, it granted her access to a fridge.

Cold water.

Not exactly a grand luxury, even now with the wells on the property and the lake nearby and the low energy fridges Ike had snagged from a warehouse out on one of his adventures. Some things still had to be rationed, and some things weren’t going to be returning any time soon. But they had cold water to spare.

She had her head ducked into the fridge when she heard someone approach, light-footed and unfamiliar. And when she saw who had joined her in the kitchen, she tried to restrain her excitement. Put on her gentlest smile and left it at that.

“Hey there! Ember, right? Welcome to Redwood.”

Of course it was Ember, holy shit, she had Ike’s eyebrows. She’d let the girl introduce herself on her own terms, though. Folks would already be assuming all sorts of things about her, given her father’s penchant for rabble-rousing in town. So despite knowing a few bits and bobs from Ike, she’d keep that to herself.

“Can I get you something to drink?”

@emberapatow * the holding tank

"I never thought it would be you."

Ike had been in this jail cell a dozen times over since he'd come to Redwood -- for a period of time, he'd been on the other side of those bars, when the dust was still settling from the scavenger attack. He'd watched so many people sit in the cell and the way some of them looked relieved, to be enclosed and safe, and some of them looked like they'd rather be out there facing down biters. This girl -- this woman, this stranger -- she looked...

Well. She looked like her mother, and she looked like him.

"Ember," Ike said. The name sat strange in his mouth. It was a weird one. He'd said so from the start, but of course he hadn't been the one with the final decision. "You're looking -- you look--" Ike stepped closer, angling one shoulder against the bars. "Incredibly grown up. Been doing impressive things with your life, I bet."

location: forest outside of Redwood

Orion normally didn't go outside of Redwood with people who weren't raiders. Mostly there was no reason too - everybody he knew was either able to go outside on their own, or they seemed happy enough within the confines of Redwood. So, going outside of the walls with Ember was a first.

"There are normally no walkers in this area, but we should be careful." Orion said, making his way between the trees, eyes focused on the ground in front of them, only occasionally flicking up to check on his surroundings and make sure Ember was following him. Fall had come in, and with it, mushroom season. Figuring that the kitchen could use them, Orion had offered to go out and forage, normally not something raiders did, but nobody had forbidden him. After some consideration he had asked Ember to accompany him, figuring that she might want to learn about foraging mushrooms and because he enjoyed her presence.

"This is your first time outside of the walls, correct?" He cast a glance back at her. "Are you feeling alright? Tell me if you want to head back."

The 3rd illustration was actually part of this idea!! But since I finished it first and liked it so much I posted it separated 🥰

As for their conversation at the beginning, I think we could say it's around ch. 429, when Bakugou asks Deku how the embers are doing. He answered in front of everyone, but he was a little more honest in private later 😕

I cried sm while drawing it and listening to Birds of a Feather haha

To cover up the happenings of amity park, Danny comes up with a GENIUS idea (shut up Sam).

The small videos and pictures of him and the ghosts that managed to escape their city were dangerous if a hero were to look into their business.

With Tucker and Sam, they created a 'behind the scenes'.

(The video starts with Phantom. He's chasing something– someone, building's sweep past as the two duke it out midair.

That is, until someone yells.

"CUT!"

The background is taken away, leaving behind a green screen. Phantom and the ghost, now recognised as Ember Mclain, hang midair, dangling.

The camera zooms in on Phantom, as he slips off his white wig and scratches his scalp.

"Danny! Stop taking off the wig!" Someone yells off screen, to which Damny rolls his eyes to, screaming back a "but it's scratchy!".

The video stops there.)

They did NOT expect the amount of views this would get.

Starter for: @emberapatow Location: community center

Jemma had attended an official AA meeting precisely once—as the guest of a client who was receiving his red chip. 90 days sober. She’d seen a lot of folks struggle with addiction in her line of work. As a public defender, it almost always factored into her clients’ stories in one way or another. Sometimes they wrangled it themselves, sometimes it had raised them, sometimes it was threatening to raise their children.

AA was like the auto-solution in that world. Judges or parole officers requiring it, family members begging each other to attend. Once she went, she could see its use. For folks who turned to vices out of loneliness or boredom, any kind of group of supportive people could make a huge difference. But she saw its shortcomings, too.

In a small setting like Redwood, with less official structures in place, maybe they could tailor it to their needs. Put it in the context of the new, fucked up world and shape their perspectives around it. In that sense, she was eager to see how it brought folks together.

She was surprised, honestly, that Ember had come to her with it. And surprised a little more to hear that she had a personal stake in it. She hadn’t pried at the moment, but now that they were setting out chairs and portioning snacks, she found herself painfully curious.

“You mind me asking what inspired all this? I know, weird point in the process to start wondering. But I’m gonna leave y’all to it once you get started, and I was just curious.”

@emberapatow * at ike's place

"You cook like your mom did," Ike said. It was getting easier to say that kind of thing without thinking it over three times first, wondering if it was okay to say, if he had any business saying it. Not that Ember was a bear in that respect; she seemed comfortable with the idea that Ike had known an Izzie separate from Mom. Ike was trying like hell to gauge and calibrate the way he talked about Izzie based on Ember's reactions, but the more he did it, the more it seemed he didn't really need to.

She was something, this girl of his. It was getting less unsettling to look at her and see his eyebrows, his pirate grin. His haunted restlessness.

"There's somethin' I wouldn't mind your help with, today," Ike said as he finished up the last of their meal -- she'd been bringing him food. And even though Ike didn't mind eating communally, and didn't like people coming to his place, his daughter was probably gonna be an exception to every rule he'd made for himself. "I need to make a buncha rugs for this place." He gestured around at the bare, dingy tile floors, saying, "--it gets a little chilly underfoot. And I don't have much meat on the ol' bones to keep me warm, so."

REMINDER TO NOT TALK TO THE GUARDIAN ABOUT DIY HRT IF ASKED ❗️❗️❗️

Susanna Rustin is a huge TERF too, and a quick search of her name on The Guardian brings up repeated proof.
