My Perfect Girl

Word Count: 1.2k

Summary: your friends leave you feeling more insecure than you already were, but Ellie comforts you and yells at your dickhead friends

Cw: body insecurity, mentions of feeling/being fat+ugly, troubles eating

You struggled to breathe as you lied in bed curled into a ball, crying your eyes out. Your crying fit had been a result of a rather hurtful conversation with your "friends." Your body faced the wall as tour hands came to cover your face, your palms wetting with tears. Time passed, you didn't know how much, but you'd heard a voice behind you and the bedroom door creaking open.

"Baby? What's going on, what happened?" Ellies voice was laced with concern and worry as she rushed to your side, rubbing your back.

You sniffled as you turned to face her, tears still streaming down your face as you picked up your phone and opened up your grouochat then handing it to her. Your breaths were ragged and quick as you watched her read, hee brows furrowed in worry quickly arched with anger as she did.

Y/n: guys I feel like I look bad today *image attached*

Ryan: wdym

Rosa: yeah u look the same lol

Y/n: idk like I feel ugly and like fat :(

Ryan: I don't see any difference 💀

Rosa: ong you look like u always do

Ryan: yeah ur just being dramatic lmao

Rosa: she probably just wants attention to be really honest

Ryan: omg you're right tho, fishing for compliments haha

Y/n: guys stop I'm not kidding.

Ryan: come on yk were right

Rosa: yeah just calm down bro

Y/n: whatever I'm done talking to you guys.

"What the fuck." Ellie muttered under her breath.

"Ellie, I look terrible and they're just making fun of me." Your bottom lip quivered.

"Baby, you don't. I promise they're just being assholes for no reason." She tried to reassure you, rubbing at your arm up and down.

You turned away from her, facing the wall again as you cried harder. You couldn't believe a word she said, you just felt insecure. It wasn't the first day you've felt like this, but it never got easier. It was days like these where you couldn't even bring yourself to look in the mirror, shower, or take care of yourself in general.

She let out a deep sigh, bringing a hand to rub your back gently, occasionally combing through your hair with her fingers. She looked at your phone again, then stood to leave the room.

"I'm gonna talk to them." She stated before exiting and calling the group.

Your friends picked up and were confused, seeing Ellies face instead of your own. It's not like they didn't recognize your girlfriend, but they wondered why she was the one calling them.

"Oh hey Ellie." Ryan greeted with a smile.

"Hi. So what the fuck is wrong with you guys?"

Rosa laughed a bit, her brows furrowing.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Whyd you guys say that shit to Y/n? Seriously what kind of fucking friends are you?" She asked in return, as if it was obvious.

"Oh come on, she knows we were kidding!" Ryan argued.

"Yeah, she's probably being dramatic anyways." Rosa chimed in.

"I bet you're only asking because she told you to." Ryan spoke smugly.

"Um, no actually I'm asking because clearly she's upset and you guys are just being assholes. And if she knows you were joking why'd I come home to her crying, hm? Terrible fucking jokes by the way." Ellie argued, feeling angrier at your friends poor reactions.

"She was crying? Oh shit, sorry." Suddenly Ryan seemed to feel bad.

"Yeah you fuckin should be, she's probably gonna be worked uo for days now. Great fucking job you two." And with that Ellie hung up, as she couldn't bear to speak to them any longer.

She shut off your phone and set it at the bedside table, sitting down and glancing over at you as you let out a heavy sigh. You silently cursed as your stomach grumbled.

"Babe, you hungry?" Ellie asked, leaning down to rest her chin on your shoulder.

"No." You lied, shaking your head.

"Ok, well have you eaten today?" She asked, already sure she knew the answer.

"No." You were quiet now, feeling ashamed at your inability to care for yourself, how you know you should be.

"Alright well come on then, let's put something in that belly of yours." She tried to turn you around, take you to the kitchen.

But you wouldn't budge, tears falling from your eyes once again as you shook your head furiously.

"No! I-I'm already fat enough I don't need to eat anymore!" You protested, believing everything you said.

"What? Stop it, that's nonsense and you know it. Come on, just come have something. Please." She frowned as she held your hands in her own, it hurt her to see you so upset.

"I can't." You choked out and she pulled you into a hug.

You immediately leaned into her relaxing touch, wrapping your arms around her back as you nuzzled your head into her shoulder.

"Baby, you can. I know you can, you're stronger than you think. And your body is perfect" She pulled away, holding your face in her hands as she peppered kisses over your face, "I love every part of it, and you. You're amazing and your brain is just lying to you." She reminded you.

"Love you too." You responded, sniffling and leaning your forehead against her own.

You finally followed her to the kitchen, still hesitant but you'd get past that. You sat at the table and watched as she made pasta for the two of you, mainly because she knew it was your comfort food. A smile made its way to your face as she brought over two bowls, giving on to you. Ellie smiled ten times as big as you did, rubbing her thumb over your cheek fondly. It made her happier than anything to see you smiling after you'd had such a tough time that day.

Once you finished eating, Ellie insisted on doing the dishes. You felt bad for not helping out, but she reassured you that she was more than happy to do it herself. She told you to go sit down and pick a movie, and of course you did.

You'd selected something happier, usually you two watched horror together but tonight you just didn't feel like it. You sat with your knees pulled to your chest, a fuzzy blanket engulfing you as you waited for your girlfriend. She was sitting beside you in no time, pulling you into her side. You hummed contently, leaning into her touch with a smile as you leaned your head on her shoulder.

About halfway through the movie, Ellie placed a kiss to your forehead then placed a hand on your chin to make you look at her.

"Is my girl finally feeling better?" She asked.

"Mostly, thank you for helping me." You smiled before leaning in to give her a kiss.

"Of course Baby. You tired yet?" She asked, looking at her watch and noting that it was getting late.

You just nodded before placing your head back on her shoulder and closing your eyes. She chuckled a bit at you, rubbing your side lovingly then letting her head fall against your own as she waited until you fell asleep before carrying you into your shared bedroom. She laid you down then climbed in next to you, pulling you in. You let out a small groan as you hiked your leg over her own, wrapping your arm around her stomach.

A/n: sorry ik it's kinda short! Hope u still liked tho :)))

Ronance day 4

I’m sorry for a lot of things. It being shorter than normal, for one.

TW- graphic depiction of violence

Prompt was Horror movie AU

Idk if it’s obvious but this is based on fear street 1994 idk if it kinda makes sense if you haven’t seen fear street it’s not really related to the plot at all

“Hello, this is B. Dalton’s, we’re closed.”

“Hey, it’s me, when are you getting home tonight?”

“I don’t know, I’m just closing, so whenever Ryan gets his asking-me-out attempt over with so I can lock up.”

“My God, I want to punch that asshole’s face in so bad. I’ll stay up, I bet you haven’t eaten.”

“Fine, I’ll be there in about an hour. Bye babe, love you”

“I love you too.”

Robin hung the phone up with a sigh. She began milling about, cashing in the register and locking the gate to the small store that she had spent way too long getting familiar with.

As she walked across the courtyard towards the exit, a chill ran up her spine. She pulled her jacket closer around herself, and shuddered, her jangling keys were the only sound in the eerily quiet mall.

“All alone now!”

“Jesus Christ Ryan, you dick!”

“Aww, cmon, can’t take a joke? I thought you liked funny guys.”

Ryan was your average kind of creepy asshole, and he had tonight decided to carry around a cheaply made blow-up sex puppet. Normally Robin would nod and smile until she could leave, but she’d had a really long day.

“I have told you time and again shitface, I have a boyfriend.”

“Ahh, yes, the mystery boyfriend I have yet to meet. You sure you didn’t just make him up in that pretty little head of yours?”

He pressed his finger into the middle of her forehead, and grinned, scouring her with his eyes. That was the last straw.

Robin’s nerve finally snapped, as her palm made contact with the side of his face, and he staggered back, clutching his cheek.

“Alright! I get it!”

She huffed and turned around, walking back towards the exit.

“What?”

“I didn’t say anything, weirdo.”

She turned back around and noticed that the gate to her bookshop had popped back open, and she huffed, trudging over, fishing the key out of her bag as she walked.

A small thud came from inside the shop, and Robin begrudgingly ducked under the half-closed gate to find a single book on the floor. Perfectly in front of the shelf it came off. Nothing strange there, she told herself.

She bent down to pick it up, and placed it back on the shelf.

God, I have to stop watching so many horror movies. But no matter how many times she laughed at herself, she couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching her.

Something dark passed through the corner of her vision, and she whirled around, almost falling over her feet, to look up and find a shadow in the should-be-empty hallway.

God.

A ghost face mask was staring right at her, and she screamed, almost tripping over, and not looking back as she raced towards the exit. As she got back out into the courtyard, she risked a look behind her and saw the masked figure hot on her heels.

She ran into one of the other stores, crouching behind the counter, breathing heavily, and waited.

She had seen the ghost face. He had a knife.

She heard the soft padding of shoes on the carpet behind the counter, and she held her breath.

Robin screamed again, as the mask suddenly popped into her view, staring straight at her, and charging towards her with terrifying speed.

She decided to make a break for the exit.

The sprint would have taken her about ten seconds.

If not for the fact that the shadow behind her managed to grab her hair and yank her backwards onto his knife, sending a jolt of fire through Robin’s body, and a guttural scream from her throat.

He stabbed her again, this time letting the knife twist, and Robin’s knees gave out as she sank to the floor. A pool of thick, sticky blood was quickly gathering on the cold concrete, and Robin’s entire body was shrieking for it all to stop. Every limb desperately flailed and clawed at her attacker, who had bent down over her to keep stabbing her front.

Robin managed to fumble the mask off.

“Nance? Baby…”

A gurgle was the last thing to leave Robin’s mouth.

BANG!

And the two were reunited.

Abused :/

Hi, I didn't know where else to put this but I've been thinking a lot about something that happened to me a long time ago and I felt the need to get it out in some form so i guess there's no better place to put it than here. Its kind of a long story but i feel its all relevant so bear with me.

When i was young I didn't grow up with very many friends. Of course, around that age most kids don't have very many friends except those they might have in school or maybe a couple cousins who they spent a lot of time with. For me, it was the latter. My cousin Dante was my best friend and i spent every summer with him doing everything from playing video games, running around in the wood, fishing. Whatever we did; we did together. That was until my dad lost his dad and felt the need to move to Colorado. Suddenly, everyone I've ever known was now almost an entire country away from me and i had to start fresh. If you knew me now you’d assume i would have struggled to make friends once i moved to Colorado but to be honest, i made friends almost instantly. Ryan and Austin were the first people id consider actual friends to me. The only issue is Ryan and Austin were kind of the problem children. I'm not going to say they were the worst kids in the country but just a little too much edge for me to feel comfortable. Its not like i was some goody two shoes or something but lets just say i cried when i said my first curse word. I was just a lil baby. Austin actually gave me my first porno i ever saw. Well, I didn't actually watch it but it was the first porno disc i ever saw. I ended up throwing it away because i was scared id get caught with it. Anyways, after that i drifted quickly away from the two and found my new friend Clayton.

Clayton was cool. He liked video games which i guess in hindsight is pretty much the only barrier to entry when it comes to me. Clayton introduced me to a bigger group of friends who ended up being the group that would for the most part stick together all through high school. This is kinda where things take a turn for the worse so trigger warning for here on out. So the larger group consisted of me, Joel, Clayton, and Sawyer with a few others coming in and out over the years. Joel immediately took on the “leadership” role simply because he was the most charismatic and he had the most stuff which i guess is how things work for kids idk. After spending sometime with the group I quickly noticed issues with everyone's family life. Claytons parents were very conservative and Christian and were VERY strict with everything he did. We were rarely allowed over, he was rarely allowed to hang out with us. If his grades slipped he was punished. If he didn't do exactly what they said he was punished. It was so severe that he wasn't allowed to drink monster energy drinks which at the time were huge. And while i agree kids shouldn't drink energy drinks, claytons parents would take it so far as to beat him if he was caught with one. I remember very vividly the amount of fear he had for his parents. Joel on the other hand suffered verbal abuse. And while i never was able to confirm it, i think there was an instance where Joel was also beat. His parents were also conservative Christians. With Joel's parents, the expectations weren't quite so high but everything he did was ridiculed. Everything was second guessed, everything was questioned. They pushed Joel to the edge and the second he decided to push back he was threatened with military school. Sawyer parents were more of the same. I mention this only to give an idea about why they all turned out the way they did.

When you start to map things out the way I've done hundreds of times it very clear to see what went wrong. Abuse begets abuse and it really haunts my soul to have seen what happened to them. The story with Clayton is a little bit more simple. After our freshmen year of highschool he started hanging out with the worst people and got hooked on Meth. We all stopped hanging out with him after that. The last time i saw him he was in rehab which is good but he looked horrible. It broke my heart to see that. Sawyer probably got away from it the least scared. He really got into taking shrooms but the last time i saw him he looked ok. To be perfectly honest i mention sawyer the least in this because out of everyone, hes the only person i wish i was still friends with. He hurt me the least. The history with Joel is the most complicated.

Going back in time a bit, despite the issues they had, things were great. We all had an incredible amount of fun and spent as much time together as we could. But it seemed like overnight he changed. He went from being a chubby anime nerd who played PlayStation with me and showed me what Smosh was to some weird skinny death metal hipster who hated everything. And you know what? I dug it. He was right. Everything did suck and our teen angst made everything seem so much worse. Cant imagine what that's like for kids now. I was just unfamiliar with it all but i didn't care. I embraced it all the same. See, before i met Joel i knew very little about everything. I didn't know what Anime was, i never heard of Devil May Cry, id never even had fish before. As a kid, i would just watch wrestling and buy whatever game was cheap. I didn't watch TV and i didn't have internet so if it wasn't within my field of view, i would never hear about it. Then i met Joel and suddenly my whole world view completely changed. He started showing me all sorts of cool stuff and it was fun and exciting and new. But after he made that switch in personality all that stuff i lacked started to become slights against me. For some reason they became reasons to attack me. “What, you've never heard of One Piece? What are you some kind of stupid piece of shit?”. At first i didn't take it too seriously. I thought it was just hazing. Just what friends do. You know that meme of how the meaner guys are to each other the closer their friendship was? Yea, i thought it was that. I wasn't the biggest fan of it but if it meant i had friends i would deal with it.

My self esteem was in rapid decline as we approached highschool. I was never happy with myself but i started to have outside sources feeding negativity into me and it was making things ten times worse. Joel was really good at picking at me in little ways that would drive me crazy and when i would snap back he would he would say “Why are you acting so crazy? Its not that big of a deal. You're being weird”. And he made me think he was right. It feels like an over reaction to get upset when someone does something mildly annoying but the way he would do it... Joel was very good at manipulating me. I don't know how to describe it. He just made me feel crazy. And while doing so he would find ways to pull me in closer. Like i felt like if i didn't have Joel i would have nothing. And that i would rather die than have nothing. So i just took it. I took all the abuse. After a while Joel began the process of self sabotage. He would get into fights and ruin friendships over incredibly small things. I would show up to school and ask where somebody was and he would just say “Hopefully rotting in a fucking ditch” and i would just know that i was no longer friends with that person. I was so attached to Joel that whatever he did affected me. If he stopped being friends with someone i would have to stop being friends. And Joel moved fast to. Unpredictably sometimes. I wouldn't even know there was an issue until it was over. He isolated me. There was a point in time where if i had gained the courage to stop being friends with Joel i could have had other friends but Joel had gotten me to the point where i had run out of options. I hated him. I hated how much control he held over me. I hated how i let him do everything he did to me. It reached a point where my self esteem got so low that i told myself that id rather sacrifice my mental health to make Joel feel better than make Joel upset because i couldn't bare the idea of losing him as a friend.

I thought things would get better after Highschool. In a way they did. The dynamic had changed. The plan was for all of us to move in together. Me, Joel, Sawyer, and another friend named Kevin. But i was terrified of moving in with them. I knew how bad Joel was and i didn't want to be around him that much. I finally gained some courage and told Sawyer that i wasn't going to move in with them. I was promptly stripped from the group and everyone immediately stopped talking to me. I stood up for myself and my biggest fear came true and i was alone. Everyone i could have been friends with i left behind in highschool. I stayed loyal to someone i never should have and it bit me in the ass. I became incredibly depressed. I few months passed and Kevin had hit me up. He told me after i was dropped from the group everything had fell apart. Joel and Sawyer got into a fight and weren't speaking and now nobody was moving in with anyone. Eventually Joel hit me up as well and we started hanging out again. Joel had gotten himself a girlfriend and for a little bit things were good. Until Joel told me that he was having problems with his family. I thought i was being nice when i told him he could move in with me. After all, I had been used to doing everything i could to make Joel happy. Joel accepted my offer and moved in with me but that's when him and his girlfriend broke up and i was officially on deathwatch. I spent hours everyday staying up till 4 or 5 am making sure he didn't kill himself. We would go on drives because he hated my house and wanted to escape it. I was miserable. I was in a constant state of fear that i would wake up and see Joel dead in my room. I wanted to die. I wanted Joel to live. I couldn't figure out how to save my friend and i didn't realize how much it was killing me. His toxicity. His negativity. The first time he had been nice to me in years and it was essentially on his deathbed.

I’ll spare you the details but Joel and his ex didn't work out. Joel got better. He also got worse. It was around this time i realized what Joel had done to me. All that time i thought I was protecting him from himself i was really redirecting his vitriol onto me. I acted as his shield. I think about it often. I think about who Joel used to be and who he became. I miss him. The old him. I’m filled with PTSD from what he did to me. I'm scared of making new friends. Joel ruined me and its so fucking hard trying to rebuild myself. Sometimes i wanna give up. Sometimes i think it would be easier to go back to him. I just wish things could have been different. I fucking hate what Joel's parents did to make him that way. I just needed to get this off my chest. I wish i could have told it more clearly but whatever. Thanks for reading this.

c3x12 poof you’re dead

I loooove this. Mum was super excited abt it.

(clipping this) LANIE OMG ESPOSITO (I love him just lying over her like that, so cute) (the music is just so good & well designed) WAIT WHAT THIS IS INSANE THIS IS GREAT LMAO (those puppydog eyes XD) HE JUST TAKES A PHOTO OF HER (& they both know exactly where their phones are)

(clipping this too) Oh no not gina Oh No, castle wait esposito no wait wait & esposito’s just like

& his voice just jumps a fifth

I remember my magic phase. Still have some gear. Is ice cubes a sex thing? That’s why castle was all slammed against the window? (I made the sign of the cross & made use of the internet. Apparently it is just a kind of temperat)

As always I love their outfits. Esposito with his t shirt then hoodie then jacket, ryan with his cute pink, beckett just always fashionable, dr parish she’s just cute no matter what, castle in his usual style but I like the jacket...

Lanie says she does not like magic shows here (keep this in mind)

Lanie you were the one to tell javier not to look at you & now you’re checking him out? Hun...

Eliza’s voice is so cute & little.

Castle just bought himself stuff while there? ofc.

Wait ryan is wearing a pink suit, burgundy tie, but he is wearing brownish vest AND a suit jacket AND he is holding ANOTHER jacket. Girl what season is it? Must be cold.

Poughkeepsie?

RC: x-ray specs. I can see you naked. KB: How do you like my naval ring? RC: !! (clipping this?)

KR: Looks like somebody has a secret. JE: *gulp* secret? ah- What secret? KR: I can understand a guy not wanting to share~ I mean, some things are personal. JE: *puppydog eyes* JE: >:( How did you find out? KR: Dude everybody knows. *grabs paper without even looking* It’s all over page six JE: o-o *sighs in relief & then starts reading* *smiles* KR: Apparently he & ex-wife/girlfriend/publisher/Gina had some words, Loud Words, at le cirque & she stormed off JE: : ) that’s what he was talking about this morning KR: What I don’t understand is why he would try to hide it from us. (definitely fishing.) I mean, we’re like family. JE: Maybe he’s afraid of what we might think KR: *his little face* (clipping this?)

(apparently I clipped both at the same time)

Aspenall? That’s a drug.

Oof. Heck of a night for this guy.

*turns to castle for some reason* Why is she asking me that? RC: She wants to know if you have an alibi

RC: Did it take him very long [to read your mind]? No RC: didn’t think so

KB: Like this? *holds up phone* RC: *gasp!* You had your hand in my pocket & I didn’t even feel it?! Do it again. I reverse-pickpocketed my friends before. Stole one guy’s earbuds & put them in someone else’s pocket. idk why.

(CLIPPING ZALMAN’S WHEARABOUTS BC SHE almost MESSED IT UP)

So the only thing he killed last night were his brain cells

Ooh arson & explosives! Street performer! As a busker myself I have mad respect for this guy (maybe I should clip this? nah)

SHe wants me to make her husband disappear, that’s a felony, I can’t do that XD I’ll dine on water & ramen tonight, think of you Yo he disappeared! That was so cool! Alakazam, jackass!

So cool, a blacklight note!

Tobias strange is a cool name. When I was busking at the big festival a few years back I met this really cool magician, in fact three of them but one I’m thinking about most. He just grabbed a melon out of nowhere & I was standing behind the stage too so I wasn’t even seeing it from the audience perspective!

RC: He made a ferrarri disappear. KR: Why would anyone want to do that? JE: Yeah he was in town recently. awesome show, we loved it. (So esposito likes magic shows, & I’m assuming took dr parish there. rly cute but obv lanie doesn’t like magic as she said in the beginning of the episode.? Also tey’ve been together a couple of weeks now.) RC: “We”? JE: Yeah. Me & my buddy. (should be my buddy & me.) KR: JE: Ray. KR, hella jealous: you have a buddy named ray who you went with to a magic show. (Sounds gay bro.) JE, starting with a laugh: Yeah, what about it? KR: *standing there smiling at esposito* (Not clipping?)

This is sexy af. Also why can’t you write “voila” it’s barely even french it’s a loanword at this point. Regardless you should transcribe all other language stuff into the captions. (Same language, not translated. Translations can be onscreen anyways.)

All access pass

I love his accent. That’s so true bestie. I love hearing him talk about magic & explosives & stuff.

Ooh Lanie is so pretty. Tit for tat, castle!

Wow he just did the dad trick with a dad joke. WOAH ALEXIS that’s p cool. I’m easily impressed

In his soggy wallet was a soggy metro card. the car service thing was SOOO good

YO A SEXY SECRET DOOR! Ooh a zigzag box. KB: You would have loved my grandfather. *closing the doors to castle’s face* In fact, you remind me of him sometimes. RC, muffled through the box on his head: I’m flattered CSU is going to have a great time with this... Neat graffitti. (I don’t think I need to clip this)

Best trick ever!

Cool entrance!

This man is so lucky. Usually dead people have to play dead but this guy gets to play dead & play the twin brother! Accountant brother hiding the money Twin sense!! Love a good wallet photo. (& they were blond as kids) Lmao great twin joke

if this was a movie it’s not a movie!

(I knew it! the tracks were evenly spaced, just like sammy keyes book one)

I love Lanie. She’s like my older bro. Pink scrubs, pink gloves, my bro needs to wear a mask & I’d guess it would be pink too (tho I’ve never seen him at work so idk if his gloves & scrubs & mask are pink). Organophosphates??? What’s that? DSHFJKAHDSFH ESPOSITO MY DUDE JE, walking in from tha back, not expecting to see anyone except dr parish & possibly other mortuary assistants: Hola chica! I was in the ‘hood & I thought that we should talk about the *sees beckett. & castle* LP: TESTS THAT YOU HAD ME RUN KB: What tests? JE: DIfferent case. Hey I was just about to call you Thaddeus Magnus is a cool name. In fact, I have a friend+ who has one (or several) introjects of Jon the archivist from the magnus archives; this friend uses a wheelchair. Oh no, & a civil rights protester? This really IS my best friend! KB: You have an address? JE: *hands slip of paper from his nice notebook, I love a good notebook* KB: Thanks RC: Nice work JE: *finally able to exhale* LP: That was close (B’y it was obvious) JE: No. This is close *holds her physically close & kisses her while castle & beckett have literally only just left* (clipping)

Maybe he’s ambulatory & wasn’t in a lot of pain that day & was able to do that insane task but today he’s stuck in bed bc he used spoons he didn’t have.

(I think it might have been nice if they had him answer the door with crutches, a walker/rollator, or a cane. & then have his wheelchair by the door. & then maybe Castle could get a lesson.) New fanfic: once upon a time Thaddeus Magnus opened up the door to two detectives. He was using his crutches at the time since he usually never used his wheelchair within his house. The well-dressed man exclaimed, “Called it! The wheelchair was just an act!” Magnus’ eyebrows fell low over his eyes & he gave the man a sharp whack with his cane. ‘Just an act? You try doing all your walking with messed up muscles & a cane! You insult me again, accuse me of faking, & I will hit your other leg twice as hard!’ The woman had one hand on her belt where Magnus realized she had a gun, but she was also smiling. `See Castle? He’s just an ambulatory wheelchair user.` The end.

Castle don’t touch Great relationship. Specialty item designer for special trick designs for someone with more stage presence. Paid a fortune to get away with murder!

Oh yeah! Magic tricks are for little boys & teenaged girls, if you know what I mean. Like this is so cool! Lol “went out with a bang” I thought it was funny. (Also those eyes in this lighting holy crap coly crap hhhh) (NF/RC also has blue eyes but they are not as bright) Castle is just not impressed. Probably bc ryan stole his joke. (not clipping that) esposito not here bc he is on a date djskjdlkj

Lol just makes his phone disappear.

Love is built.

MR: Now you see him, now you don’t.

Why do they have ryan sitting there like that? Who directed him to be there like that? (y’all I think smth is wrong w me.) Ryan wearing pink again. & I’ve seen that shirt before, I like how they have consistency with outfits. I also think maybe he’s wearing pink bc last episode he proposed to his gal & they either want to make him look like he’s in love or they want to make him look gay to counterbalance the fact that he’s marrying a woman lol.

Interesting to me how people change their outfits, specifically esposito. Some days he comes to work wearing a chill short sleeved shirt with a collar, other times he comes in with the dress shirt & tie. The tie days it seems like he doesn’t wear his badge around his neck.

Sorry, I just really like costume design, I considered going into it at some point.

I’ve dressed in my whites to sneak into places w/o paying before.

JE, softly: You’re crazy, I’ve never tried anything like that (Girl don’t you remember the bdsm episode & lanie was just talking unashamedly?) (also women* take longer to climax than men* & often need different things than just boring stuff men do.) (*perisex, cisgender, hormonally typical) JE, seeing Ryan walking up to him holding some sort of magazine: Yeah. Ok. Yeah me too. Bye. (in a slightly louder, definitely deeper voice. More masculine & professional.) KR: *closes magazine* Who was that? JE: Coast guard. I was just seeing if they uh found the plane’s data recorder. KR: Hm. Did they? (staring at his partner, not where he’s walking) JE: Did they what? KB: *interrupts the convo* Ah, that’s what the magazine was for.

RC: Where was this photo taken? KR: Ah, you noticed.

I like this lady, she’s hot, well driven, well spoken, she can take care of herself, she has a killer haircut, & she didn’t talk to cops w/o a lawyer.

PONZI SCHEME???

... Now kiss

& being dead is the perfect alibi!

Oh yeah, he definitely would attend his own funeral. Mum suggested the priest. James Pendrick?? & ofc esposito & ryan are just on the other side, as always

Wow I hate this guy. (I thought that it was another magician who pulled a rabbit out of a hat)

Does he see something behind the non-see-through mirror? Is it that old glass ghost trick? alakazam, jackass. Ok but how did they actually do it? Was he behind the glass? Was he in the room? Who was he, where was he, how did this MFer not see it was a real person?

Is that LT?

Yo Tobias has a slammin jacket

Is rick going to buy a magic shop??

KR: Hey, can you uh? KB: Yeah sure Just casually signs the doc on castle’s back, just like the judge in s1. KB: So where’s esposito? KR: ha, take a wild guess. KB+RC: Lanie KR: Can you believe they still think none of us know? RC: Well let’s let them keep thinking that a while longer. The bubble bursts soon enough. KB: Not if you’re in it with the right person. RC: ...

I’ve noticed becks drinks bottled water... Oh neat a blood donation wall. Cool. I need to donate blood soon, it’s been a while. I just hope I have the iron for it. Lol remember when esposito just stole a cold pop? Oof phone breakup??

Motorcycle boy? Doctor motorcycle boy?

random Mighty Morphin #18 thoughts -

- props i guess for giving Matt’s celebrity ranger status some relevance after the last two years have done jack with it but. I’m always going to hate him, no matter how “well” he’s being written, just by nature of I hate him taking up space and being a ranger and just existing in general. Sorry about that. Stop being all “Zordon you suck because you didn’t tell me my friends were leaving” like why is it Zordon’s fault the MMPRs didn’t tell you they were leaving lmaooooo maybe because they’re not really your friends. please leave. Sorry anyway moving on

- Slightly related but it comes off a bit that these past two issues have been trying to......idk how to explain it, but they’re like.....trying to give Ryan’s decisions more explanation in hindsight? Like Billy and Aisha’s conversation about why Billy recharged the Dragon Coin and why he didn’t seem to really care about getting kicked off the team. The negative effects Eltar’s conquering had on this planet and its people. like idk. Stuff that honestly should have been brought up more while Ryan was writing since that’s when it felt more relevant. (Like seriously, why did the Omegas not run into a planet that went through what these fish people did with the Eltarians? The Harturians don’t count because they were still fine lmao)

- I am glad at the very least that we’re finally bringing back the “you don’t have to be a ranger to do good” stuff, especially with Billy and Aisha and knowing what’s going to happen to them. And in contrast with the Omegas threatening to throw a child in prison and then forcing their heroics throughout the galaxy lmao

- the buildup of Rocky’s family is still really good, they’re very cute, loved the Captain Marvelous reference. i’m seeing people call this issue “filler” and while i do agree it’s kind of slow-paced, I’ll take establishing Rocky’s family as people we care about over the Dome Arc’s decision of “oh no, we should be so worried about this family we never saw or mentioned until now”

Heyo, I hope I'm not being too annoying but I was wondering if you have any personal headcanons for the Jackass Bois? They can be t*ckles or non t*ckles related if you do. Im just really interested in what other people think the guys act like or are interested in and I love it when people talk about stuff they like. Anyways you don't have to answer cuz I know you've got stuff to do or write but I was just curious. Have an amazing day!💜💜💜

This is so broad, I have like no thoughts lmaooo. My creative juices have been mostly zapped away in my old age. If you gave me like I guess like a scenario or a topic to go off on, the structure would probably help me out. I have some personal thoughts I'd like to share, though, if that's ok.

I still don't know who my favorite is

Though I will say it's between Ryan, Bam, and Steve-O

Bam's family in the Jackass movies usually made the movies better for me, and the addition of no Bam in the new one meant no Margera fam, which really saddened me. The super mighty glue stunt is prob one of my faves ever.

Ryan had the best attitude out of all the guys when I go back and rewatch the movies (which I just did like yesterday and today lol)

His personality and the quips he made are so much like mine so I felt like I always connected with him. And the things he really laughed hard at, I also laughed hard at. For this reason, I still put him at the top of my list.

I also have to include Steve-O bc the guy has done some of the funniest bits. Butt chug, sweatsuit cocktail, shoving the fish hook through his cheek, the fucking fart helmet, wasabi snooters, the portopotty bungee, and the freaking shin mime stunt in the new movie murders me every time the way he yells XDDDDD

and his smile and laugh are so contagious

In terms of what makes me laugh hardest for these guys.... I want to say it's the simpler things lol

Anytime they're all together on the set for the stunt and they're just cracking up at one another, I love it

While I do enjoy the crazier stunts, what I mean by simpler is like

the wave that knocks Knoxville down out of frame so it looks like he disappears

Bam sling-shotting a meatball at Phil's face

In the new movie, just Knoxville launching a volleyball at Steve-O's face as he exits his trailer and the little 'bonk' it makes

the poof

All these kinds of stunts make me laugh some of the hardest. And I think it's because of the reactions. Like how much the guys are laughing on set at the stupidest, simplest shit

When I think back to the tickling stuff

I am so freaking shocked that if tickling happened on set, that it wasn't filmed or turned into a bit

genuinely

they do so much where they're tied down, it seems so easy

maybe they're always in too much pain to even be ticklish lol idk

Have a great day!

ask Two for the angst ones this time: 13 for raini, 5 (possibly will be pertinent come the end of this minicampaign) & 29 (she literally has Any Weapon w/ her pact so it's fititng) for ayen, 7 & 10 (hehe I know there's trauma in this one) for cog, and then mix and match 4, 17, 18 between Caspian, Ryker, and Brilliance bc I don't know them as well and I would Like To

My life is just below readmores now, I guess. Will I ever learn to shut the fuck up? No! And that is a promise

Raini

13. What does it take to make your character cry? Oh boy. Raini definitely isn’t a big crier, because she a) doesn’t really let herself get to that point and b) hard pivots into “angry” over “upset” and she isn’t an angry crier. She’s cried twice in game so far, and probably not many times before that. In both in game cases -and likely the always alluded to but never seen “before times”- the catalyst for her crying was being overwhelmed. In a good way, bad way, whatever, but that’s the trigger. Just- Looking at something, not knowing what else to do but let yourself cry about it, and not seeing any reason to stop yourself. (shfjsdjkfh the funny answer is: during sex. But can you IMAGINE jskdfskjdf)

Ayen

5. Would they ever turn on someone they just met in order to save themselves? Oh for sure. Without question. Not without guilt, in fairness, but without question. She’s pretty well adjusted, pretty “go with the flow”, but she did grow up in a pretty cutthroat world. She was spared from having to make those kinds of brutal decisions from a super young age by Shadow Mom, but she definitely saw the fallout of those choices and learned that, while it’s all well and good to do the “right” thing, it’s much more important to do the right thing for you. If that means condemning some stranger to die so you and yours don’t have to? So be it. Better people have done worse, because that’s sometimes just how things go. I’ll be honest! This character decision was a completely on the fly one when we were having that debate in the library about what we should do with the information we learned in the library. But I stand by it. In character, Ayen 1000% sees whatever’s going on as Not Her Business. It’s fucked up, sure! But, you know. Not her monkeys, not her circus. 29. What is their weapon of choice, and what weapon do they dislike using the most? Bro I love that Ayen doesn’t have A Specific Weapon SO much. Especially because Pact of the Blade specifically makes it so that, whatever weapon she summons, she’s proficient in while wielding it. So she sees somebody using a weapon, goes “oh! cool!” and summons it herself, and then just. Intuitively knows how to use is. How fucking funny is that conceptually?? Her go to if things are serious or she doesn’t have time to pick something obscure is a longsword. Dad uses a greatsword, and a longsword is pretty close to that! Image how cool they looked fighting off assholes, back to back, with two bigass swords? Is that the only reason it’s her favorite? No of course not!!!! That would- that would be silly. And childish. Swords are just cool is all. She hasn’t used any in game, but I think she honestly just doesn’t like any kind of polearm. It’s like, is it technically safer to be a little further from your enemy? Sure. Does it give you a small tactical advantage? Maybe so. But they’re so uglyyyy and they look weird and you have to use both hands and the balance is weird and >:( Spears can stay because you can throw them but you’re on thin fucking ice.

Cog

7. If your character was allowed to murder one person without any consequences, who would it be and why? Thank GOD Alex I wanted this one for Cog SO bad!!! Valentine WastelandGame! If you can read this! You’re a dead motherfucker!! This is for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: - Is responsible for the deaths of at least 3 separate world leaders! Uh oh! - Asked for my blood one time! To do Science on! Not cool! - Ace doesn’t like him. Enough said. - Called Ace “hotheaded” and “brutish” keep his NAME out of your MOUTH - Is fucking Maelo’s ex I think? Honestly I lost that plot on that one a little bit - Keeps taking Sunny on dates! We’re protective and Jealous?? Hard to say! We don’t have time to unpack this one let’s keep moving - Is convinced aliens exist? And are coming to attack the world? OKAY - Talks in fucking circles about philosophy and the greater meaning of “good” and “evil” in the context of the world. Like, no sir! Good is when you help people and evil is when you kill them! Except unless it’s me killing you which is going to happen because I can cast Finger of Death now and you better believe that spell has your fucking name on it. Freak boy. - Just like. Eats straight raw steak. Not Evil but really weird and probably not great for you? - Overall just a very bad slimy manipulative and stinky dude. 0/10 I’m gonna put an arcane bullet in his skull. Like. Everything Valentine does, everything she learns about him, convinces Cog more and more that the world would be a better, safer place if he wasn’t allowed to exist in it anymore. She was kinda neutral on the guy until he gave his grand speech in Cormir about how the only way to save the world is to ‘conquer and subdue it’ and tried to talk her in circles enough that she had to agree with him or seem like a hypocrite. Since then, it’s been a slow creep from “I don’t trust this man and don’t want to work with him again, even if it makes our lives harder” to “he’s dangerous and needs to be stopped” to “...if given the opportunity, I would kill him myself”. And now that she has our new friend the Shadow Demon whispering in her ear, telling her that “the world will tremble and change before her” and that she should “stride boldly, and fear not the consequences that may follow” honestly? The next time we see Valentine, he might be in trouble! 10. What were the character’s parents like? What was the affect the parents had on the character? Oh, is there trauma in this one? Is there? Alex? Is there? Maybe so!! We’re gonna talk about Cog’s dad first, because he’s a) still alive and b) I KNOW you’re fishing for more mom angst. Cog’s dad name is Conrad Grace! He’s the head of Lafaroh’s town guard, whatever that means for a town of maybe a hundred people. I feel like his day to day really consists more of making rounds to check on people than dealing with criminals, although he likely has to break up the occasional disagreement or toss somebody in the drunk tank for the night. He’s also in charge of making sure the Guardians -the gods that live deep in the swamp outside Lafaroh and protect the town in exchange for food, building supplies, the occasional corpse, and other resources- get their offerings (This is Important, because he does Stop doing that soon). He married into he Grace family (that’s RIGHT he took his wife’s last name because it’s 2021 and he’s Woke not because her family like runs the town okay moving on), initially because I genuinely believe he fell in love! They were probably pretty young, because Lafaroh is very much a Deep South Swamp Town Analogue, but I don’t think it was just a social power move. The most important Conrad fact? He told Cog that he became disillusioned with the Church when she left home, because he couldn’t imagine continuing to support something he could now see had so clearly been hurting her. And I, Rebekah, a homosexual who has had Words with my Christian parents about the way their religion has hurt me? OH buddy we were a little bit of a mess about it. DM Ryan! Don’t you know I’m projecting!! Please be more careful! (Editor’s Note: This is the moment that made me realize I was projecting. Whoopso!!) Cog’s mom name is Charlotte Grace Sr. because, I guess, we’re freaks. I hate that this makes Cog technically a junior because the thought of anyone calling her Charlotte Jr. makes me break out in hives, but it is, technically, correct. The distinction while Cog was growing up was, instead, “Charlotte” and “Charlotte Olivia” because, again, we’re southern as hell. Charlotte Sr. is, unsurprisingly, the head of Lafaroh’s church, which means she very much has more actual power than her husband does. She did love Cog, I think, but in a way that very much more felt like someone guarding an investment than raising a child, especially when Cog became a teenager. She had high, exacting expectations, and grew more distant from Cog the older she got. Whether this was an unintentional side-effect of Charlotte Sr. becoming more engrossed in the preparations necessary to allow Cog to become the “Conduit”, or whether it was a purposeful decision because she knew she would lose her daughter and wanted the sacrifice to hurt less is unclear. Cog’s dad is kinda just a dude, but we KNOW this bitch has mommy issues. I also think an important distinction to draw between the two is that while I’m willing to give Conrad the benefit of the doubt and say that he may have just wanted Cog to stay in Lafaroh when they party returned because he was worried about his daughter and wanted her home, Charlotte Sr. wanted Cog there because it was Where She Was Supposed To Be, because she had a destiny to fulfill. More than that, when Charlotte Sr. found out that Conrad had stopped sending supplies to the Guardians when Cog left and had instead been selling them to Bandits to get money to rebuild the town, she was not nearly so understanding. She accused him of heresy, and ordered for him to be, uh. Flayed alive. Which wasn’t great. It’s what got her killed ultimately; Cog had to choose between her parents, and after watching her Mama summon a shadow demon that very nearly choked the life out of Sunny? It was a choice with only one possible outcome.

Caspian

18. Would society call your character a good guy or a bad guy? What would they say they are? Caspian is. Caspian is Just a person. Like she is just out here doing her best, trying not to get killed by, idk. Pirates or ghosts or w/e. This is an endeavor that, statistically, could be going a lot better. I think the more interesting angle to look at this question from is the fact that she’s a monk from a well known monastery, and that there’s Expectations on how she conducts herself in the world as a result of that. She is Just A Person, but that’s not good enough. Not when she’s running around wearing Pelor’s holy symbol, representing his monastery, reflecting on him. For a long time, I think Caspian resented the expectation that put on her! Why can’t she just be a kid? Just a person? She didn’t ask to be raised by these monks in this kind of life. But when she left home and realized how suddenly lonely she was, there were quiet, sad moments it was easy to soften with prayer. Rekindling her relationship with her god was her way of staying connected to home, and I think it also made her want to go from being Just a Person to actually wanting to take pride in being a Good Person. And then her campaign lasted for two fucking seconds lmao so it didn’t even matter hahah! :)

Ryker

4. Has your character ever been hurt or betrayed by someone they thought they could depend on? What happened? YEAH BOY rye-bread got his SHIT handed to him lmaoooo His whole “why are you adventuring?” deal is that he fell in love with the noblewoman he was hired to escort across the country to her betrothed’s estate, and she played him like a fucking fiddle and convinced him -after her wedding, after she was pregnant with her husband’s first child and therefore heir- that she was in love with him too. But of course, because she was married, her husband would never let them be happy together. She talked Ryker into killing her husband, and promised to meet him the night he did it with horses and supplies for both of them. Anyone reading along at home with even a shred of common sense probably just said, “uh oh!” And uh oh indeed; she fully sold his ass out. There’s something emotionally devastating about slipping out of the bedroom of the man you just killed, his blood still on your hands, to find the woman you love standing between two enormous guards, but I can’t quite put my finger on what. Ryker figured out her plan in the following days he spent in a cell, awaiting execution. She didn’t love her husband, but by playing the role of grieving widow and anxious mother-to-be she could ingratiate herself with his family enough to be allowed to take control of the estate while her son, the true heir, grew up to run it. It was cruel, and clean, and if Ryker hadn’t managed to escape it would have gone off without a hitch.

Brilliance

17. Is your character afraid of death? Why/why not? Brilliance isn’t afraid of death, she’s afraid for what she’d leave behind. One of the songs on her playlist really leans into this (and I’m very excited to be posting her playlist soon! Stay tuned!), because she is terrified of what her death might do to Sienna. She never planned to become an adventurer, much less travel to the Hells to try and save an entire city. She was content, more than content, to guard Sune’s church, to help the people that came seeking her goddess’ blessing and guidance. When her city faced a sudden influx of refugees from Elturel after its destruction, she was even happy to volunteer to help the Flaming Fist keep order and root out would-be troublemakers. She never meant to get caught up in a job that would take her out of her home city, much less out of her home plane entirely. Every fight she got into in Hell, every time it seemed like she may be staring down something that might kill her, Brilliance had to swallow down the overwhelming guilt of knowing that if she died here Sienna would never know what happened to her. The image of Sienna, worried and pacing, looking toward the door to their apartment every time there was so much as a whisper in the hallway, desperate for any sign that Brilliance had come home-- It wasn’t delusions of self-importance or self-preservation that had Brilliance taking Glasya’s deal to save her from the narzugon’s clutches; it was the image of Sienna collapsing onto their bed and sobbing because she finally admitted to herself that Brilliance was never coming home. Still. Sienna needs her, but her party needs her too. They’re counting on her to be there for them, to take the big hits that they can’t handle. First one in, last one out; she doesn’t leave until everyone else is safe. She wants to survive, she wants to go home and marry the woman she loves, but she couldn’t live with herself if she did it at the cost of the life of someone who was depending on her. Brilliance isn’t afraid of death; she would die for her party members, even the ones she doesn’t particularly like. She just knows exactly what the cost of her death would be.

#sometimes.........i am a prose boy. sometimes....i write answers like 7 for cog. depends #rainivere #amnesia campaign #ayen morwraek #creepy campaign #cog #wasteland campaign #caspian #gos #ryker #brilliance #dia #syn-odics #answered #also idk if i've mentioned it before but it's very important to me that y'all know the bit about it being 2021 wasn't a joke #canonically wasteland game takes place in 2021 so folks things are Really gonna go to shit in the next four months lmao #uh oh!!#word count: 2633 #mine

Ryan Dorin’s work on ratboy genius inspires me like nothing else ever has and i say that without a shred of irony. anyone would look at those animations, the drawings, the writing, and say it was TERRIBLE. and lots of people have! but this guy has such a strange fascinating imagination and stories to tell that have such a blend of surrealism and an uncanny valley ALIEN dreamlike look and atmosphere that I think anyone else would be afraid to put online if they thought of it. its so unconventional in every way. just pure surrealism that probably doesn’t mean anything, but doesn’t really need to in order to feel fascinating. the stories are SO simple but in rare moments throw such complicated ideas at you, and then use those ideas to further the simple story. it’s not based on any pre-existing media, it’s not meant to look like or be anything other than what it is. and they of course dont get a lot of attention besides being seen as some kind of ironic creepy internet meme. but he STILL keeps updating after years and years, adding more and more complex ideas, really intricate theories of the way the universe works, and original music that took months and even years to compose. and all with complete heart put into it without any hint of cynicism despite the backlash and lack of recognition.

I’ve spent so many years teaching myself drawing fundamentals and how to make my designs appealing in a conventional way. I’m glad that I did! But I can still learn so much from the mindset of just creating what feels satisfying to me. without any outside influence adding things I’m not passionate about just so I feel it’ll appeal more to others. It just makes me want to create unashamedly. It’s definitely not for everyone, but I think it’s beautiful... and just. SO WEIRD.

also funnee rat boi looks funny and i like him hehe. So uuuuh anyway check out this guys videos if you wanna see what a kid show made by space aliens would be like. or if you just really like surreal stuff idk

youtube

like. electric space is a REAL THEORY that isnt widely accepted but it’s out there! could be true! but then it starts talking about a big fish boss swimming through space and ur like “ok i dont remember what reality is anymore”

Rosa

You know I was fully ready to write this review the moment the ep finished but I decided to wait until the next day which meant actually waiting three days because I can’t start things without momentum

RIGHT OK HERE WE ARE

you know how in my Ghost Monument review I said I was waiting for an ep to make me Feel Things?

yeah this one really did it

I feel like if I hadn’t known Malorie Blackman would be in charge beforehand I would have been more worried about how this ep would be done

she did an amazing job, what an amazing and powerful ep

and the closest we’ve been to a pure historical in years :’)

it was kinda like The Time Meddler except the Monk is a racist and the Doctor doesn’t mind being called Doc

this ep did a much better job of using the whole team

they weren’t just kinda following the Doctor, they were all off with their little tasks

and I still feel like we know Graham and Ryan better but Yaz got to have a more active role which was great

but the most important bit was that while it was very much an ep starring Doc and gang (fam??) Rosa absolutely was the centre when necessary

and I’m so glad they were preserving history rather than being the ~real reason that Rosa stayed seated

also the tardis felt much better lit this ep

and I noticed Akinola’s score more this ep, Rosa’s trumpet theme was really lovely

is the red t-shirt going to come out for all adventures in the past??

we got to see Thirteen more angry and cold!!

“don’t threaten me”

her whole one-on-one encounter with Krasko in the warehouse

Good Content

(though I cannot BELIEVE that I had to read with my own two eyes that someone thought they had sexual chemistry and might kiss?????)

I still can’t wait for when we get to see her RAGE

LIKE ICE AND FIRE

but for now I’m happy with >:( angery sonicing of villains

SPEAKING OF VILLAINS

I’ve seen people say that the ep had a weak villain but like....

all the ep needed was a reason for them to be trying to protect the past

and racist man from the future did the trick

also he wasn’t really the villain of the episode was he

the atagonist? sure. plot motivation? definitely.

but the real villain was the attitudes of the time and they had to let the villain win in order for it to start to lose

meanwhile Krasko has been yeeted back to dinosaur time or something like that

“nice one Ryan, thanks Ryan”

Ryan’s getting better at touching things and not having bad things happen lol

his scene with Rosa and MLK was great, it was lovely seeing him so in awe

“excuse me Dr King, yes Rosa Parks?.......woah :DD”

and then Yaz got to spend quality time with Rosa too

"there's nothing us brits hate more than a clothing emergency"

super fun fact: that ikea clock in Rosa’s sewing room is the exact same as the one in my bedroom

is it just me or did Rosa leave a thread hanging under the hood????

when they cut from Thirteen ripping her coat to Graham and Ryan showing up to fish I thought she’d like....used strips of fabric from her coat to make bait??

I loved the two of them teaming up to get bus man back to work

then Thirteen and Graham pretending to be a couple lmaoo that LOOK when he put his hand on her shoulder

those two kind of remind me of weird siblings

BANKSY

STEVE JOBS

I was laughing SO MUCH

(mobile phones are really getting around what with Elvis and Frank Sinatra and now Graham)

poor Graham when they were talking about Grace :((

and then later when he had to be the person standing so Rosa was asked to move :(((((

this comparison between him and Wilf :((((((((((

at least he wasn’t the driver like I thought might happen

they all had to be complicit and it was heartbreaking

but they had to let it happen to preserve history and at least they could jump ahead and see the changes rather than experience the gradual change

I’m not 100% sure how I feel about the song? idk it felt far more noticeable and like...cheesy than in Vincent

but at the same time it fit really well as a song

anyway that scene with Rosa gettin arrested followed by Thirteen telling them what she achieved made me tear up

good job DW that was a fantastic ep

Right! Can’t wait for spiders next week!! As someone living alone in a house that frequently has spiders!!! And as someone who really doesn’t like them!!!!

#thirteenth doctor #doctor who #rosa #ramblings #I still have a Third Doctor review that's long overdue but...........it's late

✨🌸Spring is coming🌸✨ Go out on cute lil dates with your mutuals. Tag one for each and tell them why you chose them. (coffee date, concert date, hiking date, amusement park date, picnic date, blind date with a mutual you don't know well but want to get closer with)

aahh!!! this is such a cute idea!!! thank you for sending me!! I’m sorry this took a long time! ^^

coffee date ☕

@honeywonu I feel like there’s just so many things Lani and I could talk about!! Ranging from laughing our ass from the latest mishap that happened to us (but mostly her. pls be careful, bub. one does not simply accidentally walk into the highway dsajhdjsahf) to talking about our future co-owned coffee shop (which I can’t wait for!). I honestly think she always has something interesting (and funny!) to say and it’s easy for me to smile and laugh whenever she talks.

@lycheechann my sweet, sweet bby!!! I know for a fact that a coffee date w/ Ally would be so fun omg!!! She’s just such a vibrant and talkactive person and she always fill my silences and I can definitely see myself just listen to you hyping over Chan and Jungwoo while sipping on some frap.

@binhwansgf ELENAAA!!! Wow, honestly I don’t know how you put up with me but given the chance, I would love to go on a coffee date with you! You’re such a fun person to talk to and I always have a blast whenever we chat! I can totally see us grabbing some coffee while raving about the latest boyband you stan and all the AUs that would ensue djkdhkqdh.

@bfwooz ok one of the reasons why I think a coffee date with Hani would be so much fun because I feel like we could talk about all the possible AUs and plots for our stories! We tend to be chaotic and off-the-rail when we plan the newest project lol. But let’s be real, she’s such a fun, kind and crazy person and I’m down with it as long as she doesn’t try to expose my ass (as if there’s anything to be exposed anyways).

concert date 🎤

@forevershua I don’t know why but I feel like it would be such a blast to bring Ryan to a concert date!! I find her really cool and funny and I find that she always has something interesting to say! I definitely look up to her and I think she’ll make such a great concert buddy! It’d also be amusing to watch her fangirl over Joshua in real-time so there’s that!!!

@whalien-in-luv I feel like Sam would know all the best music and artists and I would love to talk to her more about all the good animes and watching them while we wait for the concert hall to open lol (bc waiting without the proper friend and entertainment is…it’s sad, okay). Sam always has such funny and interesting stories to tell and it’s always fun to just have her talk about the things she loves!

@oatmealupdates I feel like Lynna would be so fun to bring on a concert date!!! I think she’s that person who turns up at the concert looking cool af and I want to learn from her fjhdjsh. But in all honesty tho, Lynna is such a fun person to talk to so it wouldn’t even feel like you’re waiting for long when you’re with her and I feel like we’d jam so hard to all the songs!!

hiking date 🌄

@khanhwrites Not sure if you’re an outdoor person or not, Khanh, but I honestly picked you to go on a hiking date together because I feel like we both need to actually go outside for once instead of cooping around in our houses and for you to take a break for everything (and the fact that I just wanna torture you but that’s another story sdhas).

@princeshushu Clar!!! Hhh it’s been a while since we talked but going on a hiking date with you sounds like so much fun!!! I’d really like to go on a night hike with you to watch the stars at the summit. Imagine all the constellations and the spectacular view of the stars! I imagine you’d be super inspired by it. Also, it’d be nice to set up a camp and huddle up in blankets as we make s’mores while watching the night sky!!!

@jieqs Elli is just too sweet and I really do wanna go on a hiking date with you! Imagine the amazing scenery we’d get to see on the way up so I’d definitely bring a camera to snap pics of you!!! (BC PLEASE I’M NOT PHOTOGENIC AT ALL IT’LL ALL BE YOUR PICS BC BEAUTY+BEAUTY=COMPLETE). Also idk why I had the idea of bringing you some snack so we can eat it by the time we reach the summit and maybe watch the sunset/sunrise together and go “Elli, it’s you!! The sun!!””. Also did you say you’ll bring Orion because I’m very down for that, too.

amusement park date 🎡

@jiminyoongs Fran the Gran!!! Okay, so I can already see ourselves arguing over which rides we’re going on next and maybe get some roasting but I know I will have a grand good ol’ time spending my day with you and goofing off like crazy while waiting in line!!! I definitely want to take you on a ride on the ferris wheel at sunset and scare you by rocking it hard maybe.

@softhaos Idk why, Dara, but I feel like it would be so much fun to spend a day with you at the amusement park!! You’re such a fun person and I could already see us having fun in the house of mirrors and maybe the haunted house if you’re up for it! But I honestly feel like you could wreck me if we try to compete with each other on the bumper car ride shdsahf

@rainniedae IAN MY BABY!!! It’s actually my long-time dream to go to the amusment park without which haven’t been realized yet :( Imagine all the ice cream and rides we’d have fun on together! I want nothing more than getting my wig snatched on a roller coaster and drag you into the haunted house (where I, quite frankly, will probably sh** myself) but the day I can finally go with you will be the day I am finally complete, love!!

@xuhoon CHLOE!! I know for a fact that Disneyland is such a special place that you hold close in your heart and I want nothing more but to go with you sometime! It’d be fun wearing all those silly headbands, taking pics with the characters and eat our way through the park!

picnic date 🌼

@justsomekpopstuff I see us doing something relaxing, you know! Maybe go on a bike ride around the park??? I feel like you’d need the break from uni and going around enjoying the scenery with the wind in our hair sounds like a nice idea!! And maybe do some dog-watching omg!!

@taetaetrashhh I think Momo would love a picnic date!!! You mentioned once that you do not like snow so I assume you like warm weather a lot more??? I think you’d love to just sit on a blanket and bask in the sun and maybe watch and feed the ducklings like you said!! It’d be really cute!!!

@justkpopjokes Okay but I think Lin is such a great artist and I want to go on a picnic date with her because I wanna see her draw the cherry blossoms?? Adshj it sounds whimsical but imagine having a picnic under all the cherry blossoms and she’d have the sketchbook out and all the petals are falling all around us and it’d be amazing.

@ru-lin Ruth!! I would love to take a walk around the park with you!! Idk why but I would love to walk with you through the park on a cool, spring day! Imagine just hanging out around the pond/lake and feeding all the pretty fish/birds (ok, but birds are scary irl so maybe we can just do the fish). I’d also love to try and go on a rowing boat with you bc it seems so fun!!!

@sunnysidewrites SUNNY!!! I can totally imagine the two of use going on a picnic at a field or something and we’d go cloud-watching. I’d complain about how bright is is because the literal sun is practically lying right next to me!!! I will definitely make and bring all your favorite food and we’d spend the day catching up!!!

blind date 🙈

@lovelycheollie Hannah is such a lovely person to talk to but we haven’t talked much even though we’ve been mutuals for quite sometimes! It’s my fault but I’d love to get to know her more because she’s such an amazing writer and it’s really enjoyable talking to her!!!

@tonicandjins Again, I don’t know how I ended up mutuals with a person as amazing and as talented as Faye but so far from what I know, she’s been nothing short of sweet and friendly!! I hope we can be better friends!!!

@sebongie-loves I’M SORRY I NEVER REPLIED! IT’S MY BAD!!! But you seem really cool and your writings are amazing and I really hope we can finally be friends kafhafh. Plus, we gotta stick together, y’know (and be salty together about the Tumblr ban fffff).

@sugacrackers Mich! You’re such a great person and we’ve been kinda tagging each other on ask games and such but I never got to properly know you and I’m sorry for that! I know that you’re on hiatus rn but tell me when I can hit you up bc I really do wanna be friends with you!!!

@chillihansol HANNI! We haven’t really talked but you’ve always been so sweet and supportive and I’m such a big fan of you and your works and I would really like it if we become better friends in the future!! Thank you so much for everything!!!

#I LOVE U ALL!!!#THIS ASK GOT ME SUPER SOFT!!!#sucks that we dont have spring here but this is what I have in mind!!#lovely mutuals #mutuals #answered

THE GREAT ND REWATCH OF 2021 / OCTOBER 5, 2019 // return of josh

oooookay folks! that's a wrap! below are my comments about tonight's ep + additional expansions on previously stated opinions. i'm not combining s2 ep 1 with this bc s2 is dead to me! so is s3! i only did this to gather up all these loose thoughts i had when this show with its one lonely season became such a comfort to me that i developed a second consciousness about it. but with these posts i am done! the evil is defeated! i will carry on through the 3rd and hopefully final season of nancy drew with less emotion and better spirits. thank god.

-"talk to owen" nancy firstly thinks of talking to owen only to see what happens w the agleaca; saying goodbye comes as sorta an afterthought mirroring tiffany's possession of george. yet nancy was unable to say goodbe to owen just like w kate. knowing this reveal about kate, i wonder if this was foreshadowing that something big will be revealed about him later? unlikely but still

-nancy + the reality of broken things: 'totems' like broken sand glass sculpture (good place) to show you it's not a dream; "owen broke that" ghost trap to ground him to reality, like how she reached for her locket in the good place, lucy's charm, ace's bear ('totems' idea borrowed from inception)

-george has never been an affectionate person, even with other women- so why does pda with nick suddenly become so important?

-lots of comments about ryan + women but what about carson/kate and karen? again with the hypocritical (interestingly, there is an aspect of violence to women connected with ryan (even though that violence is not his fault); but its not like kate or karen fared well either)

-ryan feels useless- relationships with women as stated by nancy- he seeks to redeem himself by showing up where nancy goes to prove he is good to have around/necessary/needed - but now that he is attempting to act as a parent he has to break through nancy's defenses all over again- firstly she didnt really consider him any kind of threat bc he comes off as incompetent- ie bad business deals- i think i mentioned last ep, their hauntings equalize them as they both attempt to gain peace by searching for answers but now ryan has changed the terms of engagement so he's back to square one, with carson. (which is how we find them s2 cowering in ryans car stalking nancy together)

-ryan's relationship to nancy exposes an interesting layer here. so far she doesnt know about nick/george but they still hold the cards (ie george gets one over on nick's ex/"the new girl") with the revelation of ryan being nancys father, nancy gains an interesting trump card in navigating the social fallout of being nick's ex. like george would take the new spot but then nancy comes out with george's ex in a much higher category. this plays out later on in the ep when george confronts ryan. george wants to talk about "them" but ryan shows up completely focused on nancy, thus illustrating the trump

-"i thought it was whitney with another insipid question" to me this sounds like whitney took bess's advice earlier about "asking aunt diana what she wants" (only to learn it actually annoyed the hell out of diana lmaoo)

-"then you need to fight for it" this hearkens nancy earlier by asking "arent you in by virtue of dna?" the test was positive; she is a marvin just like nancy is a hudson. thats not a fact that they can change. however, diana really acts like it can be changed- and in s2 we see it does change. its interesting for bess to be told to fight to be in a family she's already in and also foiled by nancy trying to fight her way out of her own family. would like to see bess stand up to diana and say something. i mean, she exists. as much as she may want to erase bess from the family, diana cannot erase her existence

-hannah's rolled up sleeves 💙

-"previous keepers records" -from s2- were those not her parents??

-mistaken murderers- everyone incorrectly assumes lucy was murdered just as they assume the agleaca killed owen

-even if owen weren't the price, how can they pay the toll without one of the people who called? i mean if it was anything other than owen and he still died they still wouldve been fucked

-"you don't need to check, i'm not even driving!" okay and giving up the goss. cassidy is me. lmfaoooo

-wonder if this locked marvin industries box will ever come back

-UNPOPULAR OPINION: george's confrontation with ryan comes waytoo late to do anything. i think i brought this up in an earlier post. its literally just her screaming at him now. like he is clocked out moved on. you know a good time for this scene? in the claw when he comes by to "check on her". hes vulnerable, fresh from rehab. and she has a chit over him for punching bookcases/the fuckin country club deal. therewould have been a perfect time to confront ryan on what happened- "what you did to me" okay sis. you admitted ep 1 you werent in hs anymore. youre of age now. admit you fucked up. take the L to force him to swallow the bigger L. and imagine how much more powerful the scene would have been- in george's domain, literally her own office, something ryan doesnt even have because HE DOESNT DO SHIT. ryan is SO EASY to trap but nobody notices. instead they have george try to get some kind of apology out of him when hes already done with that, and only for the sake of her establishing a new relaionship to boot. imagine how much more empowered she would feel if she just got that closure for herself- because she needed it, not so she could trot straight back to nick being all proud of calling a grown man to some random estate only to scream at him in a parking lot and have accomplished nothing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

-i get patrice thinking nancy is lucy but yeahhhhh this isnt how dementia works 😬

-i almost cant with nance and josh. how do you save your would-be murderer? (+ lucy's best friend and brother are in jail, her mom is lost to her mentally; all she has left is nancy and ryan)

-tbh i had no idea how to spell agleaca until bess said "theres no i in agleaca!" i thought it was igleaka like 😂

-damn how george just stares at nicks hand and then gets out herself is just so sad (like she immediately rectifies it but still...)

-"curiosity" part II; nancy who comes back to the sea after her mother died in it- agleaca drawn to lucy's trauma/to agleaca, lucy died fir "love"- would nancy be willing to risk the same? // this is also one of nancy's "mirroring mom" moments: winning sea queen, going to the velvet masque, getting caught by celia, having a "chat" with everett, and "falling" off the bluffs

-the collector 🎵👌🏻

-i wonder if there's any significance to the locations/means of their deaths; nancy's is pretty straight forward in terms of where and how, but why george and nick drowning, in the truck specifically? drowning in love? idk. ace's at the claw i get, but he gets himself caught? in what precisely? what does the fish hook mean? and bess's makes the least sense- burning alive? in the marvin estate? maybe the agleaca picked the most painful death for the marvin blood relation? idk. up for debate lmk ya thoughts

and lastly:

-i remember seeing this ending for the first time and i had just been traumatized by avengers endgame and since black widow is also a redhead seeing that shit at the bottom of the cliff it was like 😰😰😰 TOO SOON

-random thoughts-

these are just things i noticed, feel free to grapple with them or take note of them for extrapolation in s3 (lord knows i wont be) they probably belonged in recaps for previous eps but i either didnt find them in my notebook or couldnt fit them in

•nancy and truth/the perception of truth: using facts to suit theories instead of creating theories to suit facts- nancy often plays with the perception of truth and the details that fall between the steps; but she is also a victim to them by people who also know how to play the game (ie Carson) ex lying about the dress (tea cups and knives, trash got picked up, bail paid 1 hr ago) her inferences can be off from what others tell her ("people always lie") but she can also come to the wrong conclusions organically (carsons trial) more willing to believe the best in others/wanting them to be innocent (think nick ep 1) but later finding out the truths hurts more so she chooses to isolate herself and avoid involving others to be spared pain

•maybe i'm dumb, but who is "mr marvin" exactly? owen? the bald guy from the funeral? this comes from the guy who takes sailboats out like ep 4ish and says "ive worked for the marvins 20 years" she compliments the ship, he says "mr marvin and i just took her out this morning" so?? who is that? plus last ep just saying cassidy and isaac are her "late husbands children" dows thet mean sebastian? like did diana marry in? i feel like it would be odd for her to so embrace the "marvin way" if she wasnt a true born marvin

•ik college becomes a more s2 topic but none of the crew have ever been to college 🤔

•nick + the relationships with people whose reputations are tarnished: tiffany with investigating the hudsons/marvins, josh with murder/attempted murder, kate and 'stealing'/lying about nancy (esp compared to her almost preternatural kindness i mentioned before), george and her mom/family's reputations --> this kind of segues into nick + the concept of believing people you love could be capable of horrific things- accidental or on purpose (see- having to tell his family what happened)

•at the beginning, nancy kind of seems to be the "i'm sorry you're upset" kind of apologist and knows it. she also doesnt usually apologize earnestly bc shes never really sorry (she always has to get what she needs first ie coins mess) and she doesnt want to lie; to me it seems she doesnt like to bother with other people bc they require certain cues/niceties that are often lies- they ask "how are you" without meaning it, they dont really want an honest response except "fine", they dont like it when you call them out on fakeness, etc/ they require apologies for their bruised feelings even if youre right (and nancy can be pretty rude/nasty if provoked- a harshness unsoftened by sympathy)

•cont'd from the good place ep- since kate apparently means nothing to nancy anymore according to last ep ("stop calling her my mother") is her policy of "always seek the truth" now null and void? this mantra is now tainted bc the person who gave it to her broke it so much. can nancy disengage w it now? does she fall from grace to be complicit in "mysteries" of her own like everyone else? does she lose some of her "god-like" holier than thou act bc she is now literally born and raised in the "darkness" of sins/ugly truths like everyone else's? (ie truth is ugly but not to nancy, until now)

•did lucy disappear because her "murder" was finally solved? or simply because her trauma was addressed- she never meant to tell anyone about her suicide plans, the twisted trauma of which was too great to contain/unable to move on due to "sin" - or unable to move on because secret of nancy's parentage still remained? "lucy never wanted me to figure out how she died" she only wanted nancy to figure out her parentage without solving the mystery, yet did lucy see/witness nancy's revelation at the claw, or with carson, or even ryan? waiting for karen/josh to know? or just vanished?

•concept of imperfect mom figures- lucy, kate, celia, victoria, even karen- who all struggle with failings

•since karen dispelled one of lucy's attempts at nancy's haunting at the garden party, is that proof she isn't haunting karen?

•the crew + needing adult help: george's possession and victoria, club busted and owen, car accident and mcginnis, thom and cipher, larkspur lane and sal, bones and john, agleaca and hannah

•everett is always sitting- at his home office, at dinner, at yacht club (wonder if that was his actor + had to do with his recasting?)

-dad talk-

•both her dads think negatively on her "girl detective" thing but ryan sees use in it as a means to get answers, carson would never 'use' her in that way

•nancy + carson : suffering

"what about what i wanted?" + carson being imprisoned for weeks but she immediately rejects him (the DAY he gets his freedom no less) with no regard to his suffering (caused by herdiary!!) in regards to her own from this new knowledge (she does suffer a lot- "almost dying is my new normal" but still)/ the "thankless job" of parenting

•nancy + adults - connected to cop thing a few posts earlier : nancy is v precocious and smart for her age- she is "old enough" but also has trouble with the "adults" in her life- fathers, moms, karen, and cops letting her down but depends heavily on "adults" she cantrust- hannah gruen, john sander, lisbeth- highlighting her youth and occasional naiveté; nancy is unafraid to hold adults accountable for their actions (ie karen) but also loses them as allies along the way. both hannah and john are very nonthreatening and also experts in their fields, while her fathers and karen are revealed to be "just another brick in the wall" average, capable of mistakes, and not the people she expects them to be, while characters like john and hannah can only benefit nancy because either they do not mean as much to her or have no reason/nothing to gain by lying; they are purposefully shown to be small, demure, gentle, and nonthreatening as foils/opposed to karen, ryan, and josh whom she previously trusted; carson (+kate) is nonviolent as well but has the biggest betrayal which is perceived as an act of violence to her very personhood/shattering who she thought she was so she cannot be that anymore (admits truths to john "everytime i dig i hurt everyone" and hannah-agleaca) : unclear if redemption is possible for anyone :

•nancy bonds with carson over loss and then ryan over haunting. but actually, nancy rejects carson over loss bc she wanted to say goodbye and wasnt allowed to- so carson was with kate but nancy was not. nancy and ryan are more equals about haunting bc they both start around the same time and conclude together as well [nancy and ryan bond over thinking their parents conspired to kill lucy- think sitting on the floor at velvet masque] nancy is appreciated by ryan for her ability to get answers- he has no qualms about going through her/outside of police bc he wants results/instant gratification and thinks nancy is more so the expert in her field/respects her even through her age- once again acknowledging she is braver than he is (think lucy + claw parking lot) and her portent in the car freaks him out bc shes usually always in control, esp with him

•bc nancy was told "you can't be afraid of the truth" until she was / ironic bc shes braver than him except when the truth is they are related then she's scared to tell him while he actually starts to take some initiative

•nancy picked "the wrong person" to help her through her grief in her dad's eyes like her mom's best friend was somehow a better choice? carson truly "parents" nancy even during grief and haunting (which she rejects) whereas nancy and ryan are really equals in all their situations which is actually better for her and easier for her to maintain- nancy's expectations are low so anything that ryan gives is a bonus. nancy's expectations of carson were shattered by his lies so now she has nothing to connect with him about- they could barely even connect when sharing the same grief- carson actually very hypocritical hence nancy's upset at karen revelation yet carson doesn't agree bc hes the "adult" and shes the "child" not realizing she hadnt been one for a long time (hidden staircase perhaps?) whereas ryan better treats her with lack of controlling parental nature bc he is impressed with her competence before he receives that knowledge; "lucy was smarter than me too" acknowledging her intellect negates his ability to "parent" ie control her to leave him solely with caring about her wellbeing in her situations + aftermath - i honestly dont think carson would ever admit that shes smarter than him* bc he thinks shes not "all grown up" yet ("youve kept me on the bench for years"); ryan is more willing to meet her where she's at which is so important for all her good relationships - ace, owen, etc

*carson asks for nancy to figure out "who to trust" in ep 12, finally admitting that she is useful/ie acknowledging that her skills/abilities do help, are necessary, and can in fact save lives --> this is then s2 follow up by working for him (but it takes him that long)

•ryan/nancy/carson venn diagram - using sex to escape trauma

•if not carson vs ryan then what about celia and everett vs patrice (and josh)? at this point in the narrative, do you think ryan's parents would take his side should the knowledge become public (without their involvement), or deny nancy?

•"we were a family" + the disruption of family dinner- kate was really the one holding that family together and her death makes it unsustainable

okay!! that's all folks! i have exhausted my plethora of nancy drew thoughts + knowledge. you will never have to hear from me again!! TYSSM 😘
