Hi! I just recently finished all of the canon TBS content and I’m now such a huge fan!! I’m really normal about Mark (lying).

I had a few questions! In your idea of post-TCT, does Alex ever reunite with the Unusuals? Do Mark and Beck realize they in fact have TWO troubled friends in common? What was Alex up to in the three years since TAMA if not reconnecting with his friends??

Thank you!

GREAT question!! I definitely think that Alex reunites with the Unusuals--in fact, I don't think he ever fell fully out of touch with them.

After everything that happened in A Neon Darkness, I think the Unusuals have a bit of a difficult time really relaxing around each other and also figuring out their own individual relationships to their abilities. And for Alex in particular, he had to focus a lot of his energy into controlling his power after everything Isaiah did to him and also dealing with his drug addiction. So, I think, out of all of them, he kinda fell off the face of the earth for long periods of time (as he was already prone to do) and then when things got really bad, I think Indah and Neon probably helped him get to The AM in California that eventually transferred him to Boston.

Marley--Beck, that is--probably moved away a few years after the events of AND. I bet he had semi regular phone calls with Neon as he was going through grad school, and then probably hosted Neon and Indah when they moved East (I think they're now somewhere in Maine or Vermont or something). I don't know how often they see each other, and I think Beck is probably extremely protective of them, so hasn't mentioned them to anyone he knows.

I think after the events of TAMA, Alex spends a lot of time recovering and taking it easy at, like, a nice spa somewhere. I also think he and Beck probably have seen each other a few times--once Alex realized he was on the East Coast, I bet he texted Beck and was like "hey, I'm in a weird hospital in Boston, wanna come up and visit me?" which I'm sure Mark and Beck realize at some point! I like to think they all get together for a coffee or something. Even though Beck has been texting and talking on the phone with the rest of the Unusuals for ten years, he does miss hanging out in person with them, so he, Alex, and Mark all probably become buds and spend time together while Alex is still recovering at the Boston AM.

I'd guess that, now, Alex is somewhere quieter - possibly with Indah and Neon at the summer camp for Atypical teens that I've always imagined they run. And I'd wager that he keeps in much more consistent touch with his friends when he's not actively with them - now that he has his power under control, and is sober, he can really begin the journey of healing that he's been wanting to go on for a long time, and I think he and Mark really help each other in that regard. Actually, I bet they eventually get to such a good place as individuals that they look at Beck and are like "okay, dude, your turn, you have NOT dealt with the PTSD that you have from your time in the military and also the whole thing with Isaiah, and then Blackwell, and also seeing everyone's gruesome pasts, literally how are you standing right now" and they make him go to therapy lol.

We're so happy you love our show!! Thanks for the question!

#oh this is so cool #thank you so much Lauren shippen #I will be thinking about Neon and indahs summer camp for atypicals FOREVER NOW #also we should make tshirts for the never normal about mark club #thank you so much for answering!!!

I've heard what's happened and I'm heartbroken that there are leaks, and that they happened like this. If you want to remain GO2 unspoiled I'd strongly suggest avoiding any places or tags that leaks happen or just staying far away from the internet until July 28th.

Six years ago, we recorded our two-part Season 3 finale "Safe House". It was such a wonderful, special experience that involved nearly the entire cast and blocking out action in a way we never had before!

#and it’s so good and I cry every time

Imagine if people only worked six months out of the year. Half the people would be winter workers who choose to grind through the dark months and then chill and play during the summer, and half of the people would be ones who would rather work through the warm season and then rest and hibernate in peace over the winter, more or less free to choose whichever you like.

There would be families with a strong identity about which season they work in, and people who say that someone "has only ever worked one season" as a way to imply that someone isn't adventurous by nature. There would be parents who agree to take turns working opposite seasons, so one of them can always be at home with the kids, and old folks who lament that their adult children and niblings were Forced By Circumstance to work opposite seasons from them, while the youths in question welcome the work as an excuse to avoid these inconvenient relatives.

You never know if the construction worker up at 6 am in the summer spends their winters writing murder mysteries, or if the winter shift librarian spends their summer cultivating a rare breed of heirloom apples. Or simply meditating, observing nature, living quietly and baking bread. Asking someone "what do you do in your free season?" tells as much, if not more, about the person than "what do you do for a living?" And nobody answers "nothing". Everyone can think of something that they want to do, perhaps not productive, but still enlightening, constructive and cultivating.

Nobody who is in full health and well rested can stand spending half of the year simply doing absolutely nothing.

I keep seeing barbie blorbo memes saying “this ken is a mass murderer” “this ken does drugs” “this ken is so special” like no you don’t understand. Gender is irrelevant. If your blorbo is special and unique your blorbo by definition is a barbie, not a ken.

Mark gets sick kind of a lot—he didn’t use to (in fact, Joan said she was usually the one who caught everything when they were kids, and Mark would berate their parents for making him go to school while she stayed home sick), but the AM, the coma, and his ill-advised summer of love with Damien took such a toll on his body that his immune system took a huge hit in the process.

When he eventually told her, the winter after the safe house debacle, that he caught a lot of colds, he insisted it wasn’t that much of a problem. When the weather was nice, and he was eating and sleeping relatively well, exercising regularly, not drinking so much, he could go months at a time without so much as a sniffle.

He hasn’t been drinking, not a drop since they officially moved in together in October, but she can’t say with much certainty that he’s been sleeping well, and he hasn’t been exercising as much with Caleb off at school and the blood loss from Oliver’s serum revamp putting him out of commission for a few weeks.

He could be sick, and Sam doesn’t know how worried she’s allowed to be about that.

I'm biromantic and asexual and both of these things matter to me but generally speaking, I feel like being bi is a bigger piece of my identity; it's the option I choose if I have to use just one term to describe my sexuality, etc. I'm curious about how that compares to other people who use the split attraction model, so!

I'd love it if people reblogged and I'd love it if people elaborated in the tags, but you are of course not obligated to do either!

#ace lesbian here! #my queerness in general is more important to me outwardly than my asexuality #and being homoromantic is easier to present in that sense #same with my gender identity! #I’m not always a woman but it’s more important that people know I’m gay #so while I’m honor’s husband at home #I will always publicly be her wife
