What Should We Name Him?
Tumblr media
Summary: Three years after gaining control of his own destiny, Dean Winchester discovers a puppy abandoned on the side of the road. What should he do? Take it home to his wife and children, of course. Painting: Dean Winchester x Reader (Series Rewrite Setting) Word Count: 2,137. Warning: Possible spoilers for 15.19! (???) 
This might be my little take on what life would be like after the show “ended.” (Plus I believe this is how that scene should have ended.) I wrote this out of whim, so it's not perfect. But there’s a whole lot of fluff because we need it right now. Enjoy!
Dean loves the high he gets after finishing up a hunt. He spent three days in Missouri due to a nasty vampire nest Sam was trying to take down with Eileen that got out of control and required some backup. His brother and fiancée decided to stick around to clean up, letting Dean slip back to the bunker and to his own awaiting family back in Kansas. 
The Impala drives down the empty road he’s taken thousands of times that always leads him back home. His favorite tunes play as he enjoys the feeling of the wind rushing through the open windows all by himself. Today is perfect weather with the sun shining bright in the blue sky, not a single cloud in sight. No little kids trying to touch the buttons to the radio or asking what the strange rectangular object is after they went snooping around underneath the seats searching for a toy they dropped. It was just Dean and Baby, just like the good old times. The only thing missing was his wife and little brother in their respective seats singing along. 
Dean finishes out the classic rock song by softly slapping his hands along with the rhythm of the drums. The music gets shut off for a brief moment when he spots the gas station he always stops by to fill up the Impala. He continues on with his routine of getting gas and thinking about what to get inside. Maybe some candy for the twins when you told them about how well they did on their spelling test. Hell, he might even pick up a six pack to celebrate the successful hunt.  
He stopped drinking heavily as he had in the past. And the hunts he participated in slowly dropped to only a few times a month. Dean’s lifestyle changed dramatically when Chuck was kicked out of the picture. It allowed Dean to breathe and step back at the life he was finally able to control. The man wasn’t getting any younger and his kids were growing up fast. He wanted to be a good father, best that he could be. Which meant not having the twins creating memories of  him nursing a beer at ten in the morning. And forcing himself to let Sam do more of the cooking and incorporating some greens into his meals. 
Dean wanted to live long enough to see his babies grow up—see what they were going to do with their lives. Make decisions their parents were never allowed to. Dean’s entire life someone has been telling him what to do, writing down what to say. Not anymore. For the first time ever the curse was broken and he was able to do what he wanted. And he wanted to be a better man. He wanted to grow old with his wife and raise his children right. Watch his baby brother walk down the aisle with Eileen. Have some quality time with his friends and live his own life, damnit. And he was. 
Dean checked his phone while filling up Baby to see you responded back to his text about heading back from the hunt. Like always, you warned him about making it back safe and signed off with a quick ‘love you ❤” that never ceased to make his own heart beat faster. He smiled to himself and shoved his phone into his back pocket once again. If there was one thing in this world that he knew, it was his love for you was tried and true. Your love was not a story that could be written or broken up. No one or nothing would be able to take that away from him. 
After doing his normal routine and fetching a few snakes for the short ride home, Dean decided to make one more stop to the bathroom when he spotted the sign on his way back to the Impala. That's when he hears it—a whimper. The noise caught him off guard as his hand lingered over the doorknob. A few seconds passed before he heard it again. Dean stepped away and tried to figure out where the noise came from. He followed it until he came across something that made him stop in his tracks.
“Hey, buddy.” Dean ever so softly greets the puppy that is hiding in a cardboard box that has seen better days. Someone might have confused it with the rest of the trash next to the dumpster. Inside was a puppy that had to be only weeks old with old sheets. Dean dropped down to a crouch to carefully inspect the puppy for any possible tags indicating an order. His lips stretched into a frown when there was none. “Someone’s gotta be missing you, right?”
Dean knew he couldn't leave the poor dog on the side of the road. He always had a strict rule of never letting any non-humans into his car. The guilt would eat him inside if he let the poor dog remain abandoned. Dean picked up the box and carefully set it inside the backseat. He decided to make one more pitstop before heading home. 
***
One stop ended up turning into two. The vet told him there had been no reports of a missing German Shepherd puppy recently reported. Which meant someone had abandoned the dog at the gas station in hopes someone might find him. Dean could have left it at that and headed home. But he kept staring at the dog. It reminded him of something that happened a few years ago. For some reason he wasn't able to part with the dog. He needed to be sure the mutt got a good home. The decision led to him making another stop—to the pet store. 
The vet cleared the dog of any possible or diseases until the next check up. Dean splurged on the new addition to the family; puppy food the vet recommended, a dog bed, toys, anything the mutt might need. And most importantly a collar and leash. He got himself prepared with anything the dog might need. The amount of money he spent that day reminded him of the times he prepared for the birth of the twins. Expensive. But well worth it in the end. He couldn’t wait to see their faces. 
***
“We’re home!” 
Dean found his family where he normally did after coming home from a hunt; the twins in the library doing their homework while you and Cas kept tabs on the network of hunters across the states. You quickly looked up when you heard his voice echo through the bunker. An expression of pure relief crossed your face when you realized he was all right. You opened your mouth to ask him what took so long, but you found yourself with more questions than answers when you saw what he was holding. And the small creature at his side. 
“Daddy!” The twins wasted no time dropping their pencils and jumping out of their seats to greet their father. Dean dropped the bags to the floor and crouched down to be attacked by two six-year olds with tight hugs. He embraced the both of them and gave out forehead kisses. 
“Monkeys! I’ve missed you!” He greeted his children with the same amount of enthusiasm like always. “Were you two good for Mommy and Uncle Cas?” The twins nodded their head a little too eagerly. 
“Dean,” You got up from your seat and headed over to your husband who had failed to yet mention the extra companion he brought home. You pointed a finger to the puppy sitting next to him. “What is that?”
“A dog.” He said a little too casually.
You rolled your eyes at the obvious response and tried again when he stood back up. “What is it doing here?”
“I found him on the side of the road.” Dean explained. “I couldn’t leave the little guy there so I brought him home.”
“Can we keep him? Please?”
“Please? Pretty please?”
“I promise I’ll walk him—”
“And I’ll feed him—”
“Okay! Okay.” You quickly stopped the twins from chattering your ear off at the possibility of adding another member to the family. You let out a quiet sigh when they wasted no effort in warming up to the dog. He was friendly enough, giving out licks and happy barks. You thought about this for a moment. “Maybe we can look after him for a little while. See if anyone lost this poor baby.” 
You had to be honest, seeing the little guy made your heart swell in delight. It was always a dream of yours to own a pet. But the life you lead made it impossible. A lot of things seemed like that. Until a few years ago when it all changed for the better. You didn’t want to get your hopes up that Dean would be on board with another member of the family. Especially a furry four-legged creature.
“The vet told me no one reported any missing dogs. My bet someone abandoned him.” Dean said. Your expression quickly flashed into anger at the news at someone’s abusive and reckless behavior on a poor and defenseless creature. “I say...their loss. Our gain.”
“Wait, what?” You sounded surprised at his reaction. “Are you suggesting we keep him?”
“Why not? He’s updated on all his shots and the vet ran a whole bunch of tests. This little guy needs a good home.” Dean said. He smiled to himself at the sight of Mariella and Robert playing with the dog. Their smiles were too pure. They’d be heartbroken if Dean denied them an opportunity to have a pet. “Looks like he’s already part of the family.” 
You can't help yourself when you make your way over to the dog and greet him with pets and ear scratches. You remind the twins to be careful when they take note of the puppy's floppy ears. The three of you look so happy in the moment. He couldn't wait to see Sam's reaction when he got home. He always secretly wanted a dog as his own. Today that dream was going to come true. 
“What should we name the little guy?” You asked. 
The twins thought about it for a moment before a round of names only a child could think of were shot off left and right, too fast for either you or Dean to keep up on. You let out a faint sigh when the discussion quickly turned into a fight about which name was better. Dean was quick to defuse the situation before it could end in tears. 
“How about...” Dean crouched down to give the dog a scratch behind the ear like he seemed to enjoy. He examined the mutt for a second before the perfect name popped into his head. “Zeppelin?” 
“Zeppelin?” You repeated the name, your tone the least be enthusiastic about the reference he subtly passed by you. “Are you seri—”  
“Zeppelin!” Mariella shouted the name with excitement. To her it was odd and unique, something a six year old thought was perfect. “I like it, Daddy!”
“Me too!” Robert agreed. 
Dean smiled to himself when you playfully rolled your eyes. Zeppelin decided to explore the bunker, his new home, with curious but cautious steps. He made his way over to the angel and started sniffing him out. 
“Hello, there.” Cas greeted the puppy. He offered his hand for the dog to sniff to try and get to know him better. “You are certainly adorable. And a perfect addition to the family. German Shepherds are known to be a perfect guard dog. They are loyal and smart. Very strong." 
“Sort of like you.” You softly nudged Dean with your elbow. 
“Then it’s settled.” Dean said. “Zeppelin’s here to stay.” 
Dean never really did like dogs. He always complained they shedded too much, barked at the smallest things and required too much attention. His opinion changed ever so slightly after taking a hunt with a German Shepherd that required him to meld minds with the animal. His opinion softened, but the lifestyle he led made it impossible up until this point in his life. But seeing this poor fella abandoned on the side of the road, the exact same way he did when all hope felt lost? He couldn’t turn his back on the dog. There was still an ounce of happiness left in him that blossomed back up. 
This little guy reminded him that he was in control of his life. There was no one who was going to take Zeppelin away. Or you. Or the twins. Or Sam and his family. And most importantly, Cas. It was funny how dogs could bring out the best in people and reminded them small miracles existed. Maybe dogs weren’t so bad after all.

I guess I’m gonna make a post about Halloween Apocalypse? I have some thoughts, and since Flux is one big story it could actually be fun to go back and see how they change over time with new information.
Spoiler-free version above the cut:
I enjoyed that ep! Proportionally, it probably had more exposition in it than anything else, but since this is only the first 1/6 of the full arc, I guess that’s to be expected. It certainly introduced a lot of interesting threads, more than you could follow thru on in any fulfilling way in just one episode, so hopefully when we see more of the context the fact that they were all included so early on will feel more rewarding. I do hope the middle installments have slightly more self-contained plots though, if only because it’s nice to have something you can have a decent understanding of & strong feelings about without having to wait six weeks, but I’ve also binged more seasons of dr who than I’ve ever watched live, so I’m probably predisposed to being impatient lol
Right! Now for the specifics:
Dan seems cool so far! I was so down with a companion who worked in a museum I was a tiny bit sad when he turned out to just be a guy deciding to lead his own tour, but “history buff who’s also enough of a people person to just do that kind of thing” is also a fun direction for a companion to take, so I’m excited to see more of him. Plus, chill-but-opinionated always helps introduce a new character when there’s a lot of other stuff going on, which seems like will be the case with Flux.
I also quite like Vinder already - even though all his lines were basically reports from a space observation station, they had so much character to them, I’d really like to learn more about him and how he wound up there. The fact that his actor was at a con this summer gives me hope that he’ll be one of the arcs we follow more closely rather than just dropping in on once or twice an episode, which is nice.
I’ve only been half-paying attention to recent announcements, and I watched most of this episode thinking it was the one with “Sontarans” in the title so while I kept expecting to see more of them, I was still glad they were there! It looks like these Sontarans are gonna bridge being comical and creepy, which feels like the best option given the different directions they’ve gone in in the past, and I didn’t have anything against their previous design but I still think this one’s an improvement - honestly, all the monster/alien costume designs in this were great.
I’m gonna have to think about the dog people genetically linked to the human race thing for a sec longer because that’s so wild, it’s hilarious - but also once they explained that context, the whole situation had such vibes of dragging an unwilling pet to the vet (but with the human race & space), I had to admit it was cleverly done, and even if it might be strange for something like that to exist in-universe without ever coming up before, who cares?
Presumably the Time Lords (or at least an organization they founded? is that what the Division is? also “division” vs “swarm” - that’s gotta be something, right?) were the ones keeping the alien with the very cool prosthetics prisoner, since they had the same gun as Gat & Ruth, and it’s possible we might even get some more Ruth backstory this season since I’m pretty sure the implication is that she’s the one who got the swarm guy locked up in the first place? It would be great to see Jo Martin’s Doctor again, but even though Thirteen sought out the dog guy with the intention of learning more about the Division, I’m not sure if I expect that to be explored fully this season, or if Flux will just be one big adventure that interrupts her trying to solve that one. Personally, I’ve always felt Timeless Children would’ve been a better season opener than closer, so I think I’d prefer that plot with the Division to be pretty heavily involved in (and dare I say, wrapped up in?) this season, and then have the specials after Season 13 feature some more episodic stuff, but we’ll see.
Speaking of episodic, I really liked Thirteen & Yaz as the Tardis team, and since Dan only joined them at the end, I’m glad we basically got a full episode with that duo as the Doctor/companion setup. Of course, I would’ve loved to have had a full adventure with them like that, but I’m still gonna take the one episode as a victory because it’s given us a sense of what their time traveling alone together looked like, and that opening (and its Nitro-9 reference!) made me very excited for the EU stories I’m sure will eventually be set in the gap between Revolution of the Daleks & Season 13.
Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder if there’s any chance of Flux still being a Thirteen & Yaz adventure, in spirit? At this point, Dan feels more like a person they happen across than someone who’s going to travel permanently in the Tardis, and even though he’s listed as a companion for the season, if this season is one big story I suppose it’s technically possible he might stay that way? Like a Sara Kingdom type person maybe, (hopefully without the dying) who travels with the Dr & co for a specific reason, with the intention of stopping once that’s taken care of? I like Dan so far, so I’m not sure what I’d prefer, but at this stage there’s still a chance of it going either way, I think, and even with the limited information we have about him now, we know he’s pretty rooted to his home so it’s possible he’ll just return there as soon as this is all sorted out, which just happens to take six episodes. Unless they’ve already mentioned his actor being in any of the specials?
Idk but it’s an interesting possibility to consider. I know we’ve all taken issue with Chibnall juggling too many characters and shortchanging them here and there on the relationship development front, but I think this series being one big story will help in that respect, just like how it’s not strange we haven’t had Dan interact with the Doctor much at all yet even though we finished his first episode. I also liked the fact that he’s meeting her through Yaz, who was introduced to him as a space savvy human (and is this the first time Yaz has specifically referred to her job with the police as past-tense?), it reminds me of the 60′s when companions overlapped and helped each other get accustomed to the Tardis while the Doctor was busy being eccentric.
Next week looks historical and sontaran-y, and hopefully like the kind of thing that has a main plot with the series arc happening around it, but even if that’s just me projecting what I want on it, I’m still super excited for it. I think that will be the episode that tells us if Flux is more like Trial of a Time Lord (where, although things are related, it’s more or less a frame narrative for relatively stand-alone adventures) or if it’s more similar to something like The Daleks’ Masterplan or, dare I say, The War Games (where it’s all one big story and individual episodes’ plots are just the next step of the same story unfolding - escape the prison, find x person, destroy this weapon, etc.). Either way though, I really appreciate how much this cliffhanger seems like such a middle ground between the classic and new series - it’s got the high stakes and drama of two- or three- parters in the revival but with the same sense of ‘this is just the beginning’ and lack of understanding that went with many first-episode-in-a-serial cliffhangers in the classic series, where that last scene is also often the first time the Doctor & co come up against the real danger after being introduced to the new place they’ve landed.
I’d also like to say that I was watching it live on bbc america, and that station has so many commercial breaks it could make the most well-constructed story feel disjointed, so even though I think it’s fine for different plot threads to feel unconnected at this stage, it’s also possible that those scenes flow even more fluidly when watched properly, which I’ll probably do eventually

Chapter 2
Tumblr media
Rick had scoped out the prison and decided it was perfect and secure for his group. They had easily cleared out the courtyard with Rick’s leadership and teamwork they had all developed over the few weeks of travelling together. They had decided to rest in the now safe courtyard and wait until the next morning to take over the rest of the prison. As morale was high in the group with their recent wins, they easily cleared out the entrance to the prison. Rick, Glenn, Daryl, and T-Dog enter the prison walls first to clear out any walkers and Rick finds two sets of keys that open the gates to the cell block. Giving one set to Daryl, he goes to open the gate to the cell block. The rest of the group file into the cell block, claiming cells as their own and moving their belongings inside. 
“I ain’t sleepin’ in no cage,” Daryl says as he makes his way to the stairs to the second level of the block, “I’ll take the perch.”
He throws his bag on the ground, taking the perch as his area. Gloria chuckles then follows him up the stairs, wanting to take a cell up on the upper level. She chooses the one closest to the perch, putting down her things and laying down on the bed. 
The next morning, Rick, T-Dog, Glenn, Daryl, Maggie and Hershel were preparing to head deeper into the prison. Rick had suggested the night before that they need to find the infirmary, armory and cafeteria. He had also asked Gloria to stay back and watch over Lori and Carl. She agrees, knowing that with Hershel going she needed to make sure Lori was feeling fine. Carol and Gloria were both in Lori’s cell, looking after her as she didn’t look very well. 
“Carol, can you help me get Hershel?” she pleads and Carol nods, leaving the cell immediately to get the vet. 
“What’s wrong?” Hershel says in a soft voice as he kneels down beside Lori.
“Lori thinks she lost the baby.” Gloria tells him, sadness in her voice. 
Hershel purses his lips in deep thought, “have you felt the baby moving?” 
“No...” Lori says through her tears, “what if... what if it’s already dead inside me... what if it starts to rip me apart from the inside?” 
Gloria grabs onto Lori’s hands, squeezing gently, attempting to comfort the pregnant woman, “No, Lori, don’t think like that.” 
“Gloria’s right, you’re letting fear take over you, that’s not going to happen.” Hershel says reassuringly.
Lori sniffles then looks at Hershel and Gloria seriously, “What if I end up dying during childbirth... what if I turn and end up attacking you, or Rick, or Carl, or the baby? If that does happen, I want you both to promise me that you will put me down immediately.” 
Hershel sighs then looks at Gloria who also glances at him, then she gives him a nod, “Okay, we promise. But I want you to remember that you have two doctors with you, so that should ease some of your worries.” 
“Hey, I’m just a doctor in training.” Gloria says jokingly to try and lighten up the mood. 
Hershel chuckles, “that’s still a doctor.”
Gloria smiles then she turns to Lori, “have you taken your prenatals for the day yet?”
Lori smiles softly and shakes her head. Gloria pats the back of her hand and gets up to go get the vitamins for her. As she leaves the cell, the others are all armored up to head deeper into the prison. Hershel leaves to join them and Carl closes and locks the gates of the cell block when they set off. Gloria gets back to Lori’s cell and gives her the vitamins then walks back out of the cell. 
“I think we could clean up the place before they get back, what do you think?” Gloria asks Carol. 
She nods, “Yeah, we should.” she says smiling. 
With that, the girls start to clean up the cell block that has now become their safe haven. Gloria goes up to the second level and takes a mattress from one of the unoccupied cells, laying it down on the perch where Daryl had slept the night before. She then proceeds to clean up more scraps and garbage littered around the area. Carl is still standing by the gates then hurries to open the gate as he hears Rick calling out for them to open the gate in a panic. The rest of the group rush in, pushing a makeshift stretcher with Hershel lying unconsciously on top of it, the bottom half of his right leg cut off and bleeding out.
“Beth, get blankets, pillows, towels, bedsheets, anything that can soak up blood. Now!” Gloria orders the younger girl as she rushes into the cell.
Maggie and Rick make way for her as she kneels down beside Hershel. Gloria holds onto the towels that were already on Hershel’s stump, pressing down hard with her hands, coating the towels into a deep scarlet red. Beth rushes to the cell with bedsheets, pillows, and more towels. Gloria takes off the blood drenched towels and grabs a bedsheet from Beth, wrapping it tightly around Hershel’s thigh to try and cut off as much blood flow as possible. She then grabs a pillow and presses it down hard on the wound. After a vicious cycle and many bloodstained pillows and towels, Gloria finally managed to stop the bleeding, wrapping up the tender wound with a fresh bedsheet. 
“Did you guys manage to find the infirmary?” Gloria asks, slightly breathless while looking up at Rick.
He sighs and shakes his head, “No, not yet.” 
“We’re going to need to find it, and quick. Hershel’s going to need antibiotics to keep this from getting infected, who knows how dirty these bedsheets are.” she says with a frown.
Rick nods, “we’ll keep looking.” he says then pats her shoulder before leaving the cell, heading out the cell block.
Gloria gets up from Hershel’s side and immediately is met with Beth, hugging her tightly and crying. She hugs the young girl back, patting her back in hopes to comfort her. 
“Thank you... thank you for saving my daddy,” she cries.
Gloria sighs then pulls away from Beth, “don’t thank me yet, your dad will still need antibiotics otherwise I can’t guarantee that he won’t develop an infection. You gotta stay strong for him though, okay?” 
Beth sniffles and nods, “okay,” she wipes her tears away, “okay, I will.” 
Gloria looks over to Maggie who’s leaning on the doorway to the cell, her eyes wet with tears. The two women nod at each other with a mutual understanding then Gloria walks out of the cell as Maggie walks into the cell to comfort Beth. Gloria walks up to Glenn who’s leaning on the wall across Hershel’s cell and looking in with his arms crossed. 
“I stopped the bleeding, but we really need to find the infirmary.” Gloria tells him. 
Glenn nods at that, “Yeah... we have to find it soon.” 
Gloria sighs heavily, looking down at her blood soaked hands and attempts to wipe the drying blood on her pants, trying to distract herself from the bloody scene she just had to endure. She always had to calm herself down after something like that, even in her days as a nurse working in the ER. In the moment, she would be fine, keeping herself calm, collected, and professional but once it was over, her emotions and panic would catch up with her. Knowing her well, Glenn puts his hand on her shoulder to try and calm her down.
“Hey, breathe slowly, deep breaths, come on. Breathe with me.” Glenn instructs as he helps her slow her breath, “you did really good just now.” 
Gloria doesn’t say anything and just nods and focuses on taking deep breaths. As she’s trying to calm herself, movement from outside the cell block catches her eye. Rick and Daryl were leading a group of unknown people outside when one of them turns to look in the direction of their cell block and she could swear that she saw him smirk at her. 
“Who are they?” Gloria says, gesturing to the people outside.
“Prisoners. They were locked up in the cafeteria.” Glenn informs her.
Gloria smiles a bit at that, “at least we found the cafeteria.” 
“Yeah,” Glenn chuckles, “that’s a small plus in our long chain of negatives.” 
Gloria glances over at Hershel’s cell, taking in the heartbreaking scene of Beth and Maggie waiting for their father to wake up. They needed to find the infirmary but Rick and Daryl were busy dealing with the prisoners. She decided to take it upon herself to look for it.
“Hey, look after Hershel, I need a bit of a breather.” Gloria tells Glenn and he nods, understanding.
She couldn’t tell Glenn she was wandering off on her own to find the infirmary, he’d never let her go, not alone anyway, so she had to lie. Rushing up the stairs to the upper level, she goes to retrieve the flashlight from her bag and equips her daggers onto her belt then heads out the back of the cell block. She sneaks down the hallway, dagger in her dominant hand, flashlight in the other lighting up her path. Gloria is cautious, listening intently for any snarling of walkers, killing any that get in her way. She uses the walker blood to mark her path, drawing a large ‘X’ so that she doesn’t get lost on her way back. After going through what seemed like a maze of identical walls, Gloria finally makes it to a set of double doors. She pushes the right side of the door cautiously and hears snarls from the inside of the room, she listens close to pin-point which side of the room the sounds are coming from. She peeks through the crack of the door, seeing shadows moving on the ground that told her the walkers were on the right side of the room. 
She skips to the left side of the door, letting the right door swing shut, she pushes the left door slightly to check how many walkers are in the room. Luckily, there were only three from what she could see and all of their backs were facing her. Gloria pushes through the door and in one swift motion, stabs at the walker closest to her in the back of the head, killing it then does the same to the other two. Looking around cautiously, she lets out a breath of relief as she sees that there are no more walkers in the room. Instead, there are fully stocked shelves of medical supplies. Grinning at her discovery, she starts to pack up bandages, painkillers, and antibiotics to bring back to Hershel. As she’s about to leave, a sight in the corner of the room catches her eye. She chuckles to herself as she sees a very familiar old friend: crutches. 
Taking the supplies back to the cell block, she smudges out any ‘X’ marks she made that didn’t point to the infirmary. When she gets back, her heart drops as Beth and Maggie are in the hallway, holding onto each other as they cried. Fear swallowed her as she thought that Hershel hadn’t made it. When Beth sees Gloria, she storms up to her.
“Where were you?! Daddy stopped breathing and you weren’t here!” Beth yells as she cries. 
“I-I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have left, I’m sorry.” Gloria says, feeling bad for leaving the young girl, “I found the infirmary and got supplies for your dad, he’s going to be okay.” 
“You went alone?!” Glenn exclaims, frowning at her, “why didn’t you tell anybody?” 
“Someone had to! You had to look after Maggie and Beth and I don’t want them leaving Hershel’s side, and I sure as hell am not letting Lori or Carl go exploring the prison.” Gloria retorts, she then goes into the cell where Hershel is laying, she puts down the supplies she'd retrieved on the ground in the corner of the cell, “how is he?” 
Maggie had returned to Hershel’s side, “he’s breathing again, Lori gave him CPR.”
Gloria nods, a small smile of relief on her face, she takes a bottle of antibiotics and a roll of bandages from the bunch of supplies then goes to Hershel. 
"Here, give these to him when he wakes up." she says as she gives Maggie the bottle of antibiotics. 
Maggie nods with a small grateful smile on her face. She watches as Gloria begins to unwrap Hershel's stump, replacing the bloody bedsheets with proper bandages. 
"These should also help with preventing infection." she says, standing up and pats Maggie's shoulder reassuringly, "your dad's gonna be fine." 
Just then, Daryl and Rick walk into the cell block. Rick goes into the cell where Hershel is and Gloria leaves the cell so that it isn’t as crowded. Gloria leans on the wall as Daryl walks up to her, frowning.
“What happened to ya?” he asks, referring to all the blood on her. 
“Had to stop Hershel’s bleeding.” she tells him, looking at the ground. 
He then gestures to her neck and shoulders, "ya got blood splattered all over ya, that from Hershel too?” 
“Walkers. I went to find the infirmary.” Gloria sighs then she adds just before Daryl is about to yell at her, “Don’t. Glenn already went off on me for going alone.” 
Daryl says nothing to that, pursing his lips together then notices that Gloria seemed different, “wha’s wrong?” 
She shakes her head then pushes herself off the wall, “I’m gonna get some air.” 
Daryl watches as she walks out of the cell block and outside the building altogether. He sighs and retreats to his spot on the perch, noticing the bed that was now laying there. A small smile pulls at his lips as he knew it was Gloria who did this. Later on, Hershel had finally woken up, relieving everyone in the cell block. Only Gloria didn’t know of this piece of good news as she was still sitting outside on the picnic bench. Daryl was leaning on the railing on the upper level of the cell block, contemplating whether or not to go out and check up on Gloria when Glenn walks up the stairs and stands beside him. An awkward silence emits between the two of them. 
“How’s Hershel?” Daryl was the first one to speak.
“He’s better. Talking with Beth and Maggie right now.” Glenn nods, then another moment of silence comes between them when Glenn finally speaks up again, “so, I’ve noticed something going on between you and Gloria.” 
Daryl scoffs at that, “what, that kiss on the highway in front o’ everyone wasn’t obvious enough?”
Glenn chuckles lightly, “well, I don’t know exactly what it is you have going on or what you can have going on, I just hope you can take care of her.”
“Ya ain’ threatenin’ me that ya’ll kill me if I hurt her, are ya?” Daryl side smiles at him.
“Nope,” Glenn says, “we both know that if you end up hurting her, she’s going to be the one who kills you.” 
Both of them laugh at that, Daryl nods, knowing that’s definitely true then he looks at Glenn, “I’ll take care o’ her.” 
---
Next Chapter
I would say this was a pretty eventful chapter, they cleared out their cell block, Hershel unfortunately lost his leg, and we learn more about Gloria and how she is with dealing with emergency situations. I know there wasn’t much Gloria and Daryl interactions here but I swear it leads up to a pretty sweet moment immediately next chapter! And then you get the cute but awkward moment with Glenn and Daryl so there’s that haha~ Let me know what you thought of this!
I hope everyone stays safe and healthy, please don’t panic, we will get through this!
And as always, I would really appreciate any comments left for me! I’ll be replying to any comments in a new post because this is a sideblog!

8x01: We Need to Talk About Kevin
Then:
Tumblr media
P U R G A T O R Y
Now:
100-Mile Wilderness, Maine
1 Year Later
A couple is sleeping peacefully in the forest when a bright light fills the sky, waking the woman.
Tumblr media
The couple goes out to investigate when they hear rustling outside. It’s a deer! Close...it’s Dean! He’s looking more like a feral rat than a deer. I would not want to run into someone looking like Dean in the middle of nowhere, that’s for sure. He pulls his gun, asks where the road is, grabs a bag of their stuff, and skedaddles. Yikes. First, for anyone not caught up, let’s all collectively scream what we all thought on our first viewing: Where’s Cas??! Second, who the fuck hikes anywhere, let alone the 100 Mile Wilderness trail with that kind of gear?! Camp chairs? A lantern the size of a dining room chandelier? A tent that’s making Harry Potter quake? Anyway, I lol thinking this is the most unbelievable part of this scene, and not the dude who just got back from Purgatory. 
Clayton, Louisiana
4 Days Later
Cue up Styx “Man in the Wilderness”, and sit back and watch one of my favorite montages. Watching Dean walk down a road never gets old. He walks to a cemetery and digs up a grave. He chants an incantation over some bones, and voilà, he brings back to life a vampire! They embrace.
Tumblr media
Wait, what? 
In Kermit, Texas, Sam’s ditching on a woman AND a dog. He drives to Rufus’s cabin in Montana, where a hiding Dean assaults him with all the monster tests. They both pass, and hug. Sam is shocked. “I guess standing too close to exploding dick, sends your ass straight to Purgatory.” Dean explains the situation with the first dick joke of the season. Sam has further questions, and Dean is vague on the details. Sam also wonders about Cas. Dean shuts down a little more and admits, “Yeah, Cas didn’t make it.” 
Tumblr media
Sam presses the matter. “Something happened to him down there. Things got pretty hairy towards the end, and he... just let go,” Dean adds. So, he admits that Cas let go here, did he alter his memory after this? In any event, Dean’s really broken about it. 
Sam then admits that he got out of the life, tossed all his phones, etc. “Something happened to me this year, too.” Gah, like a complete breakdown and fugue state, but I will reserve my thoughts for my non-existent essay on the state of Sam’s mind when Dean and Cas were in Purgatory. That sends Dean into an anger spiral. (Natasha: LIMES)
He listens to all of Sam’s phone messages --the increasingly desperate and eventually disillusioned pleas for help from Kevin. 
Tumblr media
He was their responsibility, and Sam just ditched him. Uh, because he was in complete mental failure! Sam hears something in the background of the last message and is able to isolate the sound to a bus station. They track him to Michigan, where his girlfriend, Channing, is attending college. 
Once at the motel, Dean sees two boys playing with their toy guns, which sends him into a memory spiral. He’s chasing a vamp in Purgatory and eventually catches him. “Where’s the angel?”
Tumblr media
WhEreS tHe aNgEl?
W H E R E ‘ S  T H E  A N G E L?
??
?
(Don’t touch me.)
“You’re him. The human.” 
Like, excuse me? The monsters are all meeting up talking about the human wandering around Purgatory looking for that angel? LIKE PLEASE. No, please STOp. I can’t take it, even after all these years. 
Anyway, Dean keeps demanding to know where that goddamned angel is. The vamp refuses to say so Mr. Dramatic lops his head off set to a very elegant camera angle. 
Another monster attacks but Dean’s too far from his machete. Then ANOTHER monster attacks THAT monster. Spoiler: IT’S BENNY! 
Tumblr media
Later, in the motel, Dean suggests moving on, but Sam thinks he should get some rest. Dean goes into another anger spiral --probably because he couldn’t sleep for a year and all Sam did was sleep due to his complete breakdown. Sam trying to ignore that he didn’t have control of his world isn’t helping him with Dean. Sam found “a girl.” Well, actually, she was a fully grown woman, but go on… Listen, I don't like the Amelia stuff as much as the next person, so I have a very elaborate headcanon of Sam’s mental break and the symbolic fantasy world he created while he barely existed at the cabin. 
Tumblr media
Anyway, Sam asks Dean what Purgatory was like. “It was bloody. Messy. 31 flavors of bottom-dwelling nasties. Hell, most days felt like 360-degree combat. But there was something about being there.”
“It felt pure.”
It fElT PuRe
I T  F E L T  P U R E
Flashback to Purgatory, where Dean’s life is still saved by Benny, the vampire. Dean threatens to shiv him up the ass so...every friendship needs to start somewhere? The vampire knows an escape hatch out of Purgatory! But it’s only for humans. He’ll show him the portal as long as Dean smuggles his soul out of Purgatory. 
The first rule of Purgatory is you can’t trust anyone. Dean doesn’t trust Benny - not an inch. But he does need allies. He tells Benny that he’ll agree to that tenuous deal as long as they find “the angel” first.
Tumblr media
At a college, the Winchesters interview Channing. She hasn’t heard a word from Kevin and furthermore, would spurn his love forever now that he’s no longer going to Princeton. Ouch! After they leave, Channing’s eyes go black and she slices her roommate's throat so she can make a phone call. DOUBLE OUCH! She reports that Kevin still hasn’t gotten in touch with her, but Dean Winchester is back.
Trying to get some work done amongst the students, Sam experiences his own mournful flashback. He hit a dog! He shouted at veterinary hospital employees! Damn it, this is an animal hospital!!! I hand you a bloody dog, you fix! Shouting helps things happen! 
Sam bby.
Tumblr media
Dean arrives with a burger in hand, reunited with one of the loves of his life at least. Sam reports that he’s tracked Kevin to Iowa.
At a run down church in Iowa, the Winchesters pay a house call. Kevin immediately confronts them with a Borax-loaded supersoaker. Once he figures out they’re human, Kevin gives them the tour of his new digs. He’s learned how to ward against demons. And then while explaining his recent past, Kevin has his own flashback! Everyone gets one! 
In Kevin’s flashback, he’s been captured by Crowley who sits him down to work on another tablet. A DEMON tablet! Dun dun DUN! Kevin mines its secrets and tells Crowley that there’s a hell gate in Wisconsin. (Made out of cheese?) Demons gather ingredients for him and Kevin gets to have a MONTAGE of preparing a spell to open the gate. Only…
Tumblr media
...Kevin was hoodwinking the demons the whole time. 
Tumblr media
He’d found a demon bomb recipe and blasts away his guards while Crowley waits on a distant Wisconsin farm. 
Tumblr media
Back in the present, Kevin’s stowed the tablet somewhere safe but before he did that, he made sure to memorize one more important spell from the tablet: a spell to close the gates of Hell...FOREVER. 
Dean and Sam head outside to the...second story church deck?...to chat. Sam’s disappointed that Kevin seems further into the hunting life than before. Dean’s proud of the kid - “he’s in it whether he likes it or not.” Oof. Dean, your Winchester is showing.
Sam heads down to the candle-lit church. He apologizes to Kevin for bugging out on him - and on everything hunting related. It’s definitely staged like a confession.
Tumblr media
Kevin admits that he’s perturbed when he really stops and thinks about his life, post-prophet-revelation. Sam assures him that “it gets better.” Hmm RLY? Sam’s an optimist, and continues: if they can banish all the demons, Kevin might actually be free to live a good life. BRB weeping and shouting angrily at this show!
In Sam’s hazy flashback, he waits anxiously for the news from the vet. She reports that his dog will be okay. Sam corrects her - the dog isn’t his! She double barrel blasts him with sarcasm, implying that if he doesn’t take care of the dog he hit then he’s the worst person in the world. Which. Okay. I generally don’t mind Amelia though I think she demonstrably has terrible luck picking stable, healthy relationships. But this scene always has me rolling my eyes. It’s so normal to foist a dog on a stranger! Everyone has the means and time to care for a dog, not to mention a dog who has been seriously injured! A vet would not do this! Amelia, plz. 
Tumblr media
Amelia puppy dog eyes Sam, and he’s toast. He’s spent so many years working on his offensive puppy eyed tactics, he never thought to work on his defense!
The church begins to shake and wood splits apart Kevin’s devil’s traps. A couple of demons arrive, armed with more swagger than weaponry. There’s a zappy flashy kicky fight and then Crowley and Channing arrive. Crowley demands the tablet for Channing’s life. He flashes Channing back into control for a moment as proof of life. Kevin offers himself up in exchange for Channing’s freedom and heads off to “pack up.” Then Kevin lures Crowley and Channing to a holy water trap.
Tumblr media
As they’re being doused, the Winchesters and Kevin escape. While they drive away, Crowley orders the demon out of Channing and then kills her. Oof. 
Later, Dean gets a phone call as they stop for gas and snacks, and then passes it off as a wrong number. Kevin passes on donuts and beef jerky. He just saw his girlfriend die and that doesn’t lend itself well to gas station snacks. 
Dean offers up words of Winchester Solace™. “You’re in it now. Whether you like it or not you do what you gotta do.” Good talk, Dean! 
On Dean’s pee break, he furtively places a phone call. It’s Benny, the vampire from earlier! He’s lurking on the edges of a funeral in a not-at-all-suspicious way. He figured out cell phones! But not fashion.
Tumblr media
Dean tells him that they shouldn’t talk for a while since they’re both adjusting to life. Benny wistfully tells Dean that Purgatory WAS pure and he should have appreciated it more while he was there. They both admonish each other to be good (and presumably not go on a murderous rampage). Good talk!
WHERE’RE THE QUOTES?
We made it, brother
I don't know whether to give you a hug or take a shower
Nothing says "family" quite like the whole family being dead
Where’s the angel?
Hey, the rules are simple, Sam. You don't take a joint from a guy named Don, and there's no dogs in the car!
So you're looking for a soul train
There's a demon in you, and you're going to your safety school

screamin bout zi-o 36
i had fun doing this last week, so let’s make another screencap post! of course, i said that, and then it took several days to upload all the pictures because tumblr just stops fucking working sometimes. anyhoo! it’s yuko kitajima roast hour. image-heavy and spoiler-heavy, naturally.
so ginga blew everyone up and they ran away to a sewer it seems.
Tumblr media
honestly that theory makes as much sense as anything else on this booty ass fuckin’ kamen rider show
Tumblr media
i was just like...he isn’t
Tumblr media
but then he was
Tumblr media
swartz: she could step on me in those red pumps and i’d say Thank You
hora: i regret so much right now
uhr: *shonen anime character walking down the street pose*
then over quartzer plays and im starting to feel a little lost because i don’t get to hear about the episode according to woz’s book? hello??
Tumblr media
yuko’s still out gettin her spa treatments and shit, god only knows how she got the money for all that, and somehow she never crosses paths with the cops or anyone who recognizes her from the news?? uh
Tumblr media
honestly yeah?? a queen deserves to look GOOD. her theme music is eerily sexy, i need an mp3 of it right now
Tumblr media
don’t get me wrong, im well aware that swartz is being a suck-up to try and get yuko to help with his plan to seize ginga’s power, but damn im kinda shipping swartz with yuko now too...i mean, he WAS looking at her while doing the sexy ice cream thing last week. what flavor ice cream would yuko be? black cherry chip maybe?
(headcanon: woz tries apple pie ice cream and declares it a crime against both apple pie and ice cream alike--but he still eats the whole coneful)
Tumblr media
hora and uhr get ZA WARUDO’D down the stairs by swartz
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we were all uhr right here
Tumblr media
yeaaaaaah she just doesn’t want to fight ginga
Tumblr media
tsukuyomi’s a mood. someone put a band-aid on geiz’s forehead pls
Tumblr media
ok woz i get that if you’re looking for a despotic ruler to follow that yuko is likely a better bet than sougo, but you’re missing an important detail: if yuko actually had a shot at becoming queen of everything, she’d already have one of you in tow, and you would most likely hate each other.
...majou means “demon queen” in this case, not “witch”, right?
Tumblr media
aaaaaand this...is the moment when yuko started making me very uncomfortable. the way she responds: “yes...i do remember. it’s you.”
Tumblr media
and sougo’s face just lights up--my guy, she could so easily be lying. she didn’t say one thing about the band-aid or the playground or anything that’d indicate she’s actually sougo’s crush.
like...if not for the fact that sougo had such a crush on the seifuku girl, it wouldn’t be all that major a memory. it likely wasn’t for the girl in question--just a happy sunny day cheering up a lonely little boy. a beautiful memory, yes...but memories fade.
Tumblr media
can someone please explain to me why woz’s characterization is all over the place in kiva arc? are you pro-yuko or anti-yuko, woz? i don’t understand what’s going through his pretty head at all honestly. he gets pretty taciturn in the scenes he’s not inhaling pie, but then at times he seems to think yuko’s cool aaaaaagh i don’t know
Tumblr media
junichiro: meowing, just wanted an excuse to cook lots of food
sougo: “yay, uncle’s cooking!”
woz: [deadpan monotone] “yaaaaaaay uncle’s cooking...”
Tumblr media
ive had enough of this evil bitch honestly but when she points it’s still Good Shit
Tumblr media
ridiculous move name, but also an awesome move name
Tumblr media
and turning to stone to heal up while the sun’s clouded over? very cool
Tumblr media Tumblr media
denied
Tumblr media
i noped so hard at this part. like...i really do feel protective of sougo. yuko doesn’t give a damn about him, she just doesn’t want him to get in her way.
Tumblr media
nope. no. nuh uh. you two step away from each other right now.
Tumblr media
YOU CANNOT MAKE BABIES WITH AN IDIOT FETUS
ok but in all seriousness, do you want time jackers? because, im calling it now, letting oma zi-o go in raw is how you get time jackers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah im pretty sure miho would’ve kept at it if she’d lived, and yuko...shes not gonna listen to sougo
Tumblr media
thank you for the much needed reality check furry man
Tumblr media
so she’s a...fu-joshi? 👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
☝☝☝
Tumblr media
yuko wears such fabulous shoes
Tumblr media
was anyone surprised at this point that yuko was the real killer? i sure wasn’t. not after all the obvious lies.
Tumblr media
i love her leitmotif. i need it. where do i download
Tumblr media
SHE DIDN’T PROMISE SHIT
Tumblr media
hey kids! it’s time for *mashes play button* la-la-la lies! yeah, tell me that you love me! la-la-la-lies! look deep into my eyes! la-la-la-lies! say there’s no one else above me! i’m the king of fools, cuz baby, you’re the queen of actually very hurtful and manipulative lies!
Tumblr media
that’s such bullshit
Tumblr media
now im the last person to be like “don’t play the dead mommy card”--i practically keep that card in the hello kitty wallet my dead mommy gave me. but i bet you yuko’s mom is just fine (aside from living with the trauma of knowing her daughter’s a murderer and pathological liar).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sougo,,,,,pls
Tumblr media
thank you tsukuyomi. god sougo really needs a chaperone with yuko around, he’s way too dumb and thirsty.
Tumblr media
GUESS WHO’S BACK. BACK AGAIN. fortunately, it seems swartz and woz have been just standing there watching him for the duration of the rain shower.
Tumblr media
lest we forget (because i didn’t screencap it), when zi-o took the brunt of ginga’s attack earlier, it sent him flying. now, that’s a human body, which has some ability to absorb force because it’s mostly pretty soft and fluid. yuko’s manhole cover almost completely absorbed this blast--she barely shifted her weight on impact. is it just that she’s THAT ripped? 
then The Boys rider kick ginga to oblivion. rip ginga, you didn’t have a personality or a character arc, we never even saw you un-transformed--you were just a cool looking plot device with pretty attacks. but for that much, we appreciate you!
Tumblr media
swartz looks so pleased with himself. he must not have watched the preview for this episode.
Tumblr media
YOINK! gotta love how swartz doesn’t look surprised so much as puzzled.
Tumblr media
sure am glad kurowoz took his other self’s advice and kept an eye on swartz
Tumblr media
i love it so much how woz just has these magic scarf powers and it needs no explanation? hell, he can fly and time travel and make people fall asleep and he’s super strong too, with no explanation? and he’s the comic relief? ALSO HE’S REALLY HOT? woz is a being to behold honestly
Tumblr media
speaking of super strong and really hot, yuko is KILLING IT in that gown. i mean...i guess that’s the intention. killing it. cuz she’s a homicidal maniac. haha.
Tumblr media
she’s so good at pointing. yuko could be a prosecutor in shuichi kitaoka: ace attorney. (FUND IT)
Tumblr media
yuko throws her manhole cover at the boys (rude!) and next we see geiz holding it. a shame we don’t get to see him snatch it out of midair. or did woz catch it and just hand it to him? we may never know.
Tumblr media
zi-o. listen to geiz, zi-o. use the fucking watch. just use the watch, zi-o. you seriously plan on just letting another kiva go on a killing spree? do you not get by now what she’s capable of?
Tumblr media
thank goodness zi-o has his retainers to make wise decisions so he doesn’t have to.
Tumblr media
please note the placement of mars on ginga woz’s suit. very important.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I Love You
Tumblr media
lmao
Tumblr media
WHERE IS YOUR MANHOLE COVER NOW
Tumblr media
my favorite character gets a beautiful rainbow final attack. i feel so blessed.
Tumblr media
i mean...protecting all mankind would probably include protecting them from people like yuko. just sayin.
Tumblr media
is it bad of me that my immediate thought right then was “at least woz’s attack wasn’t what did her in.”
Tumblr media
this shot, especially in the context of the church, definitely gave me pieta vibes--albeit reversed somewhat.
Tumblr media
weirdly enough, woz does an outro instead of an intro this episode.
Tumblr media
at this point while watching, i said to shylax “you know what this calls for? pie!” but before i could finish--
Tumblr media
--PIE! cmon sougo, it’s time to gobble up your feelings!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fucking woz, i swear, you have pie in your mouth and pie in your right hand and pie on your FACE and when your overlord expresses how miserable he is you just go for his uneaten pie with your empty hand.
...is it normal to eat pie like this in japan? because the only times i’ve seen americans make this much of a mess eating pie is when they’re toddlers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
oh hey, what do you know? looks like sougo’s first love wasn’t a violent crazy person after all. she also wasn’t yuko.
Tumblr media
sougo’s just an idiot who will mistake any older woman who rubs him on the chin and calls him cute for his sailor girl.
previews!
Tumblr media
i blame joshua kiryu
Tumblr media
how eloquently this one line sums up not only kamen rider zi-o but kamen rider decade as well. that’s it, that’s the show. that’s the clusterfuck we will inevitably get whenever toei decides to make a kamen rider crossover.
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THIS! TSUKUYOMI REMEMBERED SOMETHING! who is she smiling at? is it her dad? is that swartz behind her?! omg baby tsukuyomi is so CUTE!
Tumblr media
“a team”. uh huh. is that what the youth are calling it these days? cuz when i was a wee lass, i believe they called it “fucking”.
so what have we learned this week?
very little about ginga
sougo does not remember faces all that well
before sougo dates ANYONE that person should be fully vetted by junichiro, geiz, tsukuyomi, and woz because CLEARLY HE CANNOT SAFELY CHOOSE A PARTNER FOR HIMSELF
i still really like yuko as a character, if not as a person. same as i enjoy junji ito manga, but would be very upset if most of it happened in real life.
swartz loves a woman who can kick his ass
what the fuck are manhole covers in this world
i can’t wait for baby tsukuyomi flashbacks! that, and more tsukasa.

RWBY-Volume 5 Ep 4 Recap (Spoilers)
We start the ep off with refreshing the FUCKING website three times because Rooster Teeth broke itself AGAIN! Pay five bucks a month for this and its still buggy dammit.
1:32 But the episode REALLY starts off with Yang and her new bestest buddy gap-tooth McGee riding her not-a-dirtbike through the forest! Seriously their different bikes, that things gonna get...clogged or something(Yoshimickster the nerd does not know how bikes work).
1:47
Yang:How much further pal?
Gappy: This should just about do it*Grins*.
Oh you dumb mother fucker, if this is a trap-
2:03 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-our NEW episode meme-SHADE TIPPING YANG!
She then takes off her robe while you filthy PERVERTS out there wished she’d take out all her clothes-UNTIL-
2:17-ITS A TRAP! WHICH-Yang of course predicted because COME ON-you think someone who got her arm chopped off would be ANYTHING but paranoid?!
2:30 Gappy:HAHA-you fell RIGHT into my trap!
Yang:Oh no, I totally trusted you.
Gappy: And you’ll NEVER get to our bandit base RIGHT up that way!
Yang: Oh no, that was exactly what I wanted to know, how unfortunate.
Gappy:...you planned this didn’t you?
Yang: Yyyyyyyyup.
Momoko-lookalike: DAMMIT STEVE-after those two got drunk on watch last night management has been on our asses!
3:00 
Gappy: Okay, her bracelet transformed, that’s nothing, BECAUSE I HAVE A GUN WITH A POINT ON THE END!
3:16
Gappy:...AND she has a gun hand, BUT I’m sure my competent crew of bandits WILL defeat her!
3:52 PAHA-it fucking jams after ONE shot! By the creator gods Branwen clan, what are your HIRING requirements? Like stealing shit and that’s it? No vetting for skill? I bet I could get hired by them...I WISH I could get hired by them, damn I want a real job.
4:06 Took out ALL those guys and all it gave her was a bit of the damn shakes, WILD!
Gappy: Raven is gonna be SO mad at us.
Momoko-lookalike: What do you mean US, Mr.Planman.
4:32
Gappy: AND SHE’S THE BOSSES DAUGHTER TOO?! I AM SO DEAD!
Momoko-lookalike:YUP-just you, because WE got beat up by a Grimm and didn’t try to rob the bosses daughter.
Blade-guy: YUP-a BIG scary Grimm.
Gappy: You guys are dicks.
4:36 CUT TO-Ruby assaulting Oscar Pine! I kid, its just training-BUT-it is nice seeing Ruby PUNCH something for once, vary it up girl!
And I’m AWAITING the cutesy fan-art of these two fighting, as logic dictates.
5:16 Dude, Oscar, ya GOTTA use your aura, what are you, volume one Jaune Arc?
5:21 AND Ozpin’s behind the wheel-SHITS GOIN’ DOWN YO!
5:56 ...and he owns her in like, LESS than a minute, hot damn he skilled.
6:30 Oh boy, their talking about semblances, Nora shut up, Nora shut up-
6:50 Jaune:I...can’t do it-
Ruby: Oh crap, POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TIME!
CRISIS averted.
7:36
Nora: Oh, struck by lightning, didn’t die-CRAZY-Thursday.
...that makes the absolute MOST sense for her character.
8:05 BACK TO THE BANDITS!
Momoko: This is SO degrading.
Bladeguy: I’ve never had a PITY hostage before.
Yang: Oh please, I’m sure PLENTY of girls took pity on you.
8:28
AND THERE THEY ARE PLAYING CARDS-get to work you morons!
8:36
...WAIT AN AURA CRACKING MINUTE-Weiss is still in a cage? You can get another weapon girl, your sister has money! I say sister because...yeah fuck Jacques up the dick.
8:49 We then see her mini-knight...chip away at the metal cage? Damn, she is REALLY taking her time with this isn’t she? I’d have gone full on Titan mode and layed WASTE to the bandit camp. I mean what, they only have like what TWO real fighters and a bunch of scrubs?
9:08
Raven: All right, who woke me up from my hangover na-*sees Yang*...ooooooooooooooooh shit.
9:30 That burning pit in your stomach? That’s the intensifying RAGE we all feel every time Raven’s condescending ass speaks down to Yang-GRAH-I just want her to die!
10:26 TWISTS AND TURNS-she sought out her mom FOR Ruby! BEST BIG SIS EVER!
11:17...wait her portal deal is...A SEMBLANCE?! Damn, this show really DOES follow X-men rules don’t it?
12:42 Oh crap, music is happening-FIGHT TIME! Also Vernal still has Weiss’ Myrtenaster, which she is TOTALLY going to keep forever. Totally.
13:32
Weiss:...Yang?
Yang: Weiss?
Weiss: WHAT UP GIRL?!
Yang: HEY GIRL-just punching bandits like a boss.
Weiss: That’s cool, that’s cool, can you get my sword from that short-hair bitch? I desperately  wanna leave.
13:46
Weiss: Actually fuck that-BAD ASS WOW LOOKING KNIGHT! INYUKSHUK!
14:42
Raven: Give the girl her weapon back!
Vernal: But mooooooooooooooom, I wanted to SMITE them!
Weiss: And I wanted to KILL you all!
Yang: This is SO typical mom, won’t come to my birthday, you kidnap one of my possible girlfriends, won’t let me fight-WHY CAN’T YOU LET ME BE HAPPY?!
15:10 FREEZERBURN HUG-there ya go shippers! All while...the knight just watches...go away dude, no fight here!
All in all a good mix of exposition and action, also can’t wait to find out why Raven betrayed Ozpin saying “He’s not what you think he is” and what-not. ALSO-we can ALL agree that Yang and Weiss would’ve taken out that whole Bandit camp easily-INCLUDING-little miss Spring and gloomy miss teleport pants.

tagged by: the lovely @tatakaeeren thank youuuuu <3
tagging: @yaboylevi and @uttsukushi because i would love to to know your answers to some of these questions and all that but don’t feel pressured to answer this if you don’t want to c: also tagging anyone else who wants to do this
1.- If you could date one anime characters who would it be?
These type of questions always make me think that i love things differently from other people... or something? lol because i never get a crush on the characters i  like... i know this isn’t mean to be a serious question and all that, you know but kahjdkhasjdg i won’t date anyone lmao i prefer being by myself even if it gets a bit lonely sometimes 
2.- What was your first anime? 
Definitely dragon ball, i have many many memories from it from my childhood, my mom still doesn’t like it haha my brother on the other hand loves snk and levi is his favorite, he also watches some other animes from time to time  
3.- Fictional character or real people?
Fictional character, i have been there and loved real people (as in idols etc) and it’s draining and tiring and not something i would like to do ever again lol
4.- What’s one of your dreams? 
Writing a book, i have had this dream since i was a child and i actually wrote a so called book when i was like 13 haha but it’s a mess so i have it hidden somewhere in my room, i also used to get praises here and there when i wrote poems, etc for school. Tbh idk if i will ever be able to accomplish it because the career i’m majoring in, in college has nothing to do with this type of thing so yeah but maybe some day as for now i still write fics in my free time
5.-  Favorite books of all time?
I wish i read more buuuut i will just mention the one i’ve been reading recently which is ‘everyday’ by david levithan, i have yet to finish it, but i love the way it’s written and some of the things the author writes about in the book hit close home for me, i have some favorite quotes as well and i just love the book jasgdjhsagd gotta finish it before this year ends 
6.- What’s your dream country to live in?
I like my country but maybe spain, places i would like to visit tho: korea and japan also any other countries in south america because all i know is my own country and i’m curious lol  
7.-  Isabelle/Levi/Farlan or Armin/Mikasa/Eren? 
why... the shiganshina trio because the bonds of friendship between the three of them are lovely, as for the acwnr trio... it makes my heart ache and i can’t watch/read it w/o crying lmao 
8.- What’s your otp (only one)? Eren + happiness 
9.-  Drabble or Fanfic? 
Fanfic, although i really admire people who can write short things ajsgdjhasgd haha how do you do that 
10.- Your hogwarts housse (if you don’t have any cause you’ve never made the test just answer muggle, or go made it !) -
11.- How many time do you spent on tumblr ?(daily)  
…I check it several times through the day but the time i spend on it varies? it depends on wether or not i’m trying to upload gifs or something or if my dash has new content or if i’m talking with someone and stuff like that haha i think i spend more time over at twitter 
12.- Your top 3 anime openings? 
Sora ga Aozora de Aru Tame ni by Glay 
Know know know by Does
Guren no yumiya by Linked Horizon
13.-  Quick! you have the power to bring one character back from the dead (with no secondary effects) who would it be? 
Carla Jaeger, jsagdhjasgdhjsa Eren has been missing his mom for years, i just- need okay
14.- If you could crossover 2 animes, which ones would they be?
omg gintama x shingeki haha that would be soooo funny to watch
15.- Choose 3 hair colors.Ok. Ready? Now tell me your fav character with that hair color.
pink hair - kominato haruichi
white hair - gintoki
black hair - hijikata
16. Guilty pleasure?? (food, music, movies, etc)
food: like anything sweet, i love sweets... cakes, ice cream, cookies, etc lol
music: maybe those songs that are famous and that you don’t want to openly like but you end up liking them anyway?? haha
17.- Pick two characters to protect you and the rest will kill you [choose from here x]
yo eren and luffy for the first part and then the rest could kill me 
18.- In which anime do you think you would fit the best if you were to live in their world?
relife... i have no idea if you have watched it but i am one of those adults (ugh yeah i’m an adult lol) who feels like their life isn’t going in the direction they want it to go and i really love the idea that the author of this manga (which was adapted into the anime last year) offers, it deals with important topics such as: depression, suicide, being unemployed/not being successful at the expected age by society... the consequences it has in your life and stuff like that? i just think i would like to live inside that universe because the characters are really really kind towards each other and they help each other out and there’s the particular relationship between the protagonist named Arata and Yoake which is the person who helps Arata to ‘relife’ his life haha (spoilers maybe if you end up deciding to look this one up) anyway this relationship esp is my favorite, i just LOVE how they support each other
19.- A night out! ..pick 3 characters and tell me: who is buying the drinks, who is the designated driver and who is the one dancing while singing barbie by aqua
hanji is buying the drinks, annie is the designated driver and the one dancing while singing barbie by aqua is definitely sasha 
20.- A movie that you can watch a million times and will never bore you? Why?
any animated movie! be it a disney movie, or one from studio ghibli,  i... really love animated movies 
21.- Do you have a favorite seiyuu(s) which one(s)? 
I’m not much of the kind of person who gets enthusiastic over voice actors or any other type of famous person in the industry tbh... not even the authors of the mangas itself because i don’t like getting invested into people but rather i fell in love w/ the characters they create more than anything else so i don’t really have a favorite seiyuu 
22.- How would you like Snk to end: everyone dies, a bitter sweet ending, a happy one or an open ending?  
Victoria you sure love making these kind of painful questions lol jk but i haven’t really thought about it, being realistic there’s no way there’s gonna be a happy ending at least not a “wholesome” one i think? I would really hate it if everyone died at the end though... at least one of these persons who sacrificed their lives has to live to see a new beginning, or new something start... i don’t care who although my bias would love for it to be eren and all the kids (and the vets) but just someone, you know? As for an open ending it depends... like what if it ends right before eren is about to die... or on some really ambiguous scene? tbh i would like to feel satisfied with the ending more than anything else be it a happy/sad or open one just something that ties everything up nicely... that’s my humble opinion 
my questions: ( i will just write 4 or 5 because this is long enough as it is and i’m not a really creative person lol )
- What’s one thing you really like about yourself? - What do you do to cheer yourself up when you are feeling down? - Do you play any instrument? - Are you a cat person or a dog person?
