#What happened to the Halloween and Christmas episodes?
Text
It’s season 6 but Maddie is still missing!
Even though all of the main characters have returned for season 6, Maddie is still missing from scenes that include all of the firefam and Athena.  
#1 of What’s missing from season 6.
Tumblr media
Since the first episode of season 6 aired in September 2022, one of the many complaints from viewers has been “It feels like something is missing from the episodes”.  All of the main characters are back but one of the many things that’s been missing is the presence of one of the first responders whenever the firefam and Athena gather at the hospital and when they are together for celebrations and parties.  First responders include the police, fire and rescue and dispatchers (Yes, dispatchers too and Buck explained how the ones in California became first responders in 4x11 “First Responders”) but on 9-1-1 those first responders are also “found family” and that is the reason why it’s GLARINGLY OBVIOUS whenever one of them is missing.  Maddie returned in season 5 after she had been gone for 8 episodes but her absence from 118 gatherings still exists.  Actually she hasn't attended any of the 118′s social gatherings since 3x18 “What’s Next?” and her absence is noticeable because of her connections to the firefam, i.e., both her brother, Buck and her significant other, Chimney are both firefighters.  During seasons 2 and 3 she always participated in firefam related activities; therefore she is the dispatch center’s first responder who has the direct connection to both the LAFD and the LAPD. While she was away during season 5, May and Eddie were the connections because May is Athena’s daughter and Bobby’s stepdaughter while Eddie is an LAFD firefighter. But now that May is in college, Eddie has returned to the 118 and Maddie has returned to dispatch, Maddie’s absence from hanging out with the firefam has not gone unnoticed because she was present for firefam gatherings during previous seasons. 
Season 2
Maddie did a ride along with Athena and Buck introduced her to Bobby while the 118 was on a call in 2x5 “Awful People”.  Buck, Eddie and Chimney helped her move into her apartment in 2x6 “Dosed” and Athena helped Buck search for her after Doug stabbed Chimney and he took her hostage in 2x13 “Fight or Flight”. She was at Eddie's induction ceremony in 2x18 “This Life We Choose” and that was also when Hen introduced her to Karen.
Season 3
She was at the hospital with Bobby and Athena after a 9-1-1 call led the 118 and Athena to the scene where a victim's baby had been taken from her by a crazy woman and she was at Buck's welcome back party with everyone else until Buck got sick in 3x1 “Kids Today”. Maddie was at the 118 in 3x10 “Christmas Spirit” with the rest of the firefam and their families for the Christmas party and she went with Chimney to the bar the 118 hung out at in 3x11 “Seize the Day” after Albert arrived.  Maddie was also at Eddie's house with Buck and Chimney when Eddie told Chimney the 118 was the family he chose and Buck told Maddie that he wasn’t a guest at Eddie’s house.  Additionally, she called Hen in 3x17 “Powerless” after Karen and Chimney got drunk because Karen thought Hen was cheating on her again. She was at May's graduation party with everyone else in 3x18 but that was the last time she participated in a gathering with the rest of the first responders.
Season 4
Her absence from being around the other first responders during season 4 could have been due to COVID but Maddie lived with Albert in her and Chimney’s apartment while Chimney continued to live with Buck until Chimney finally decided to go home in 4x2 “Alone Together”. When Maddie and Buck’s parents arrived in 4x4 “9-1-1 What’s Your Grievance?” she was there with Chimney, Buck, Albert and the Buckley parents.  She went to the firehouse in 4x5 “Buck Begins” so that she could talk to Buck but she didn’t interact with anyone else while she was there. Maddie had a conversation with Athena at the dispatch center in 4x8 “Breaking Point” about her fear of giving birth. Her PPD storyline started in 4x13 “Suspicion” but she was still going to work at dispatch until she quit her job in 4x14 “Survivors”.
Season 5
Maddie left in 5x3 “Desperate Measures” after she dropped Jee-Yun off at the firehouse but she returned to L.A. in 5x13 “Fear-O-Phobia”.  Since her return, she's only been with Buck at his loft, Chimney and Jee-Yun at Chimney’s apartment and with her co-workers whenever she’s at work.  She got her own apartment (even though it was never shown in CANON) and Maddie had a conversation with Albert in 5x13 after she arrived at Chimney’s apartment to take care of Jee-Yun.  When she answered Chimney's phone in 5x17 “Hero Complex” she had a conversation with Karen about Hen and Chimney being taken by Jonah but after the police arrived, she told Buck that she was going to the hospital so that she could check on Chimney.  She was never shown in that hospital scene and it was very noticeable by the audience especially since she said that’s where she was going. Only Karen was shown comforting Hen after her and Chimney had been admitted.  Maddie didn’t attend Hen and Karen's vow renewal in 5x18 “Starting Over” which was odd especially since she’s friends with them because they are close with Chimney.  Maddie also knows how important Hen and Karen are to Chimney; therefore her presence would have been welcomed. Her absence at the renewal also meant that she was missing from the cast picture that was taken after the ceremony.
Season 6
Maddie’s only been ONSCREEN with Buck, Chimney, Jee-Yun, Magda and her co-workers at dispatch so far this season. She was in 6x1 “Let the Games Begin” and she took one 9-1-1 call from Athena during the blimp emergency but other than that she was only onscreen with Chimney and Jee-Yun. In 6x2 “Crash and Learn” she was at the dispatch center training Noah.  In 6x4 “Animal Instincts” she had a conversation with Buck about the self-help book he was reading at her and Chimney’s apartment, she continued talking with Noah while she was at work and she contacted a lawyer so that Lourdes and Claribel could get the help they needed.  Maddie learned her password had been stolen in 6x5 “Home Invasion” and even though Athena was at the dispatch center, she was only there to arrest Noah.  The rest of Maddie’s ONSCREEN time was with Chimney, Jee-Yun and Magda but she didn't attend Hen's congratulations party even though Chimney and Hen are best friends.  In 6x6 “Tomorrow”, she didn't go to the hospital after Karen was injured to support Chimney which was interesting again like it was in season 5 because Hen and Karen are important to Chimney.  Maddie only took one of the 9-1-1 calls in 6x7 “Cursed” even though there were a total of four emergency calls that pertained to Felisa.  Maddie wasn’t at the firehouse for Hen’s welcome back breakfast during that episode either.  Finally, in 6x8 “9-1-1 What’s Your Fantasy?”, she was ONSCREEN at Buck’s loft, in her and Chimney’s apartment with him and Jee-Yun and when she took the one 9-1-1 call from the man who thought he killed his boss.
Other than her apartment, Buck’s loft, the dispatch center and the food truck she met Chimney at for lunch, Maddie hasn’t been onscreen anywhere else for the remainder of season 5 and for the first 8 episodes of season 6.  Her absence from firefam events has been GLARINGLY OBVIOUS and JARRING for the audience and it's also one of the reasons why things still appear to be off this season like they were in seasons 5.  She wasn’t physically present for the majority of season 5 but since May and Eddie were at dispatch, their presence kept the dispatch first responders connected with the police and fire and rescue. However, now that Maddie is present for season 6, her absence from the events included above are contributors to things feeling like they’re off this season.  It’s not the only reason but it is one of the reasons.
While it’s possible the actress, JLH, has a special filming schedule since she had a baby in 2021, it’s also possible that something else could be contributing to her non-participation in those firefam functions.  Her absence is either being done strategically for something that could happen in 6B with Buck or it could be deliberate for some other reason.  Speculations based on the BTS picture below show how she could be at the hospital in 6B with Bobby, Athena, Chimney and Hen because her pink marker is on the floor with theirs.  Bobby’s is blue, Athena’s is red, Chimney’s is bright orange and Hen’s is yellow.  It seems like they will be standing together looking through a window that’s outside of an ICU or they could be standing outside of a patient’s room inside of a hospital. Both Buck's (green) and Eddie's (white) markers are missing which could mean one of them is in the hospital.  Also there has been a BTS video that included Margaret, Maddie and Buck’s mother in the background so if the first 3-episode titles for 6B remain unchanged, then it’s possible that something might happen that will cause Maddie to be with the 118 again like she was during seasons 2 and 3. Otherwise her absence is deliberate and it’s just not being explained.   Hopefully she will start participating in found family functions with the firefam and Athena again during 6B so that her absence will no longer be an issue.

do you know what?
I miss long seasons.
I miss seasons that had 20 episodes and half of them could be cut and nothing would be lost to the story.
I miss the episodes where nothing fucking happens but you get to see the main cast goofing around with one another. You get to see their interactions, their relationships develop, their day-to-day lives and how they all fit together in them.
You get the Christmas/halloween/valentine's special -is it needed? certainly not. but is it good? is it entertaining? does it give the show and characters life? do we, the viewers, enjoy it? YES!
give me long stories!! give me little quarrelling spats between characters that can be resolved in one episode with no need to have an impact on the greater story! make these stories real!
let me enjoy them before they end!!!
I absolutely love Hazbin Hotel and the little world that's been created, but I can't help but feel disappointed we're only getting two seasons of 8 episodes.
back in the early 2000's 16 episodes would have been ONE season, never mind the entire thing.
show my angel dust and husk and nifty and sir penthouse living their daily lives in the hotel! show me Charlie brainstorming ways to redeem sinners! give me Charlie forcing the hotel staff to do cringe-y exercises! give me an entire episode of Vox trying to follow alastor through security cameras! Give me husks typical day! Give me a special through the eyes of nifty on a mission to irradiate the hotel of bugs! Give me sir penthouse and the egg boys up to no good!
give me something other than the bare necessities to make the story flow
6 months have nearly gone by in the hotel, and it feels like 1 month.

Right! Here we go. Ghosts Finale Positivity Post as I rewatch.
- Robin being an excited little kid for Christmas is the cutest thing, even if it's Halloween.
- Alison's face when she's showing the ghosts Mia before she has to put the mask on. Also the fact one of her first priorities after giving birth was for Mike to call them and reassure her they're OK.
- "Since Alison come, it been my favorite time of year." I love you Robin, I love you, I love you.
- Nana Fanny is surprisingly sweet? I never imagined her being that maternal before, she never spoke of her children.
- "Robin want more." 🥺 HE IS SO BABY.
- "Think of the child, Alison!" Thomas just kills it with that line. 😂
- Julian caring about putting Robin in the Christmas mood. Chess Husbands are the Joey and Chandler of this show for me.
- Mike was fully about to reveal the truth to Betty but his wife said Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss. It's just so on point for them.
- "She doesn't want to see Fanny on camera." Has someone compiled all these jokes yet?
- Alison's little thumbs up to Julian, they are just chaos buddies.
- Mike being a terrible liar is hilarious.
- Mike warning the ghosts to leave! Like he has no real connection to these guys except through Alison but doesn't want any of them in danger. 🥺
- "Betty's bought the pastor!" "Pasta? That not very Christmassy." Robin I swear to god.
- That close in shot of Julian is the funniest scene in the episode. Also Robin "I think we should go-" chess husbands stick together.
- Kitty remembering Humphrey! She's always seemed to be the one who is most concerned for him. <3
- This. Just this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Thomas, normally the most self-obsessed git, being the one to jump into the line of fire to rescue Humphrey is also <3 <3
- This expression on Alison broke my heart and had me going "babygirl oh babygirl!" at my TV.
Tumblr media
- But then.... 😁🥰😁
Tumblr media
- CHESS HUSBANDS SHOULDER TOUCH
Tumblr media
- As chaotic as the scene is, Kitty wanting to sing Mia a lullaby is cute and shows she's trying to move past her jealousy...I think.
- Fanny calling Alison her daughter. I'm not OK.
- This had me howling. 😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Mike saying "thanks guys." There's as many Mike / ghosts moments as Alison ones here.
- Julian being so happy Robin feels Christmassy!
- This could be an oil painting. My girl. 😭
Tumblr media
- Best use of a song and lyrics timed with what's happening.
Tumblr media
- THE PORTRAITS! Such a tiny detail but tells you Alison had her input into how the hotel was set up. She made it for her and Mike but she left it for THEM!
Tumblr media
- The last we hear from Alison is her laughter. All these years. All these years and they are loving and LAUGHING together.
- Plague Ghosts always had to be the ones to bow us out. Again, while she wasn't super close to them, I like to think Alison suggested the pit as a good place for the spa, for them. 🥰
.....Okay that was a little better on second viewing ngl.
(For anyone wondering why I don't mention any of the PatCap moments, sorry I'm just not a big fan of baby scenes and babytalk etc.)

Calling all Prinxiety Shippers, this analysis is for you!💜❤️
So, I have had my eyes set on Virgil's Spotify Playlist for a while now. And a few songs have caught my attention that I'd like to talk about.
Tumblr media
The one in particular that I will discuss here is "Sally's Song" covered by Amy Lee from Evanescence, originally by Catherine O-Hara. A classic song from the even more classic movie The Nightmare before Christmas. Now, it's understandable why Virgil would have this song on there. It's from one of his favorite movies, it's a designated emo staple with lines like "We can live like Jack and Sally if we want" in Blink-182's "I Miss You", and overall it's Tim Burton which he's shown interest in as well. But, I wonder why this song in particular. He could've picked "This is Halloween" or "Jack's Lament" but..he picks "Sally's Song"? This isn't the only time he's been affiliated with this song either. In the 2020 Holiday Show, Thomas covered it in reference to Virgil's celebration of the holidays.
It's been stated that the songs on each playlist are on there for a reason. Some songs on each are directed specifically at another Side. I think I know who's being directed at here from Virgil's POV. Think about it, Sally is very similar to that of Virgil. Both are restless and want freedom despite the risks, they are both caution and concerned for others especially those they love, and just their overall aesthetics aline with a stitch work-ragdoll like appearance. The song in question is about Sally showing her concern for Jack. It briefly touches on her need for freedom and inclusion, but it's mostly about her love and consideration for Jack. Hell, she sang it right after Jack took off on his Christmas exploits that she knew would fail and tried to warn him. She thinks the love is one-sided, she gives up in believing it'll happen. However, it was reprised in the end with both of them admitting their love for each other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Who is Jack in this situation? You could say Jack is a bit like Virgil in wanting to move away from scaring people all the time..but Jack's demeanor and personality isn't very Virgil like. He's ambitious, overly I might add. He's desperate, he's dedicated, he suffered an identity crisis, he's associated with royal standing as the Pumpkin King, and his voice is rather regal. Who does that sound like to you? Roman.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sally's concern for Jack's actions failing or getting him hurt ties in with Virgil's behavior as anxiety. One major thing is concern for Roman being too forceful in his desperation for a boyfriend for Thomas could've got him rejected or hurt. This was shown in FWSA..the same episode where a sticker of Jack and Sally peaked both of their interest. They both have shown a love for this movie, so much so that Roman wanted Virgil's posters of it back in Accepting Anxiety part 2.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sure, you could say that this could be directed at Nico but Virgil's playlist was debut in April of 2020, FWSA wasn't released until October. Sure, it could have been foreshadowing but I highly doubt it since the song itself shows that the person the narrator wanted in question, was already known to them and their concern for them was justified. You could say it's directed at Thomas, but this song is too romantic in its undertones to be that, even if it said "friend" in the lyrics...Roman called Virgil "Friendo" (so did Janus as Patton but that's besides the point).With lines like "What will become of my dear friend, where will his actions lead us then" could be reference to how Roman's overambitious behavior and reckless actions could be a problem. Stating a question Virgil was asked back in 2018 at live Vidcon QnA, Virgil did say he liked Roman's ambition..but wasn't sure he wanted that in his life. Maybe he's willing to take the chance now?
So, it's fair to say that "Sally's Song" is directed at Roman. They both are carbon copies of the characters, they both love the film, and the overall hints of this song and film in regards to them are too obvious to miss. ❤️💜
Seems like Virgil wants to live like Jack and Sally with Roman. 💜❤️
P.S: we so need an official Virgil cover of Sally's Song..like come on 😁

Dating Bam Margera headcanons :)
Tumblr media
let me just start this off by saying bam's the most loyal man to exist alright
like ain't no way that he's ever cheating on you
also a hill that i will die on is that you're the passenger princess
literally no matter what
late night drives with him blasting music
spoils you on your birthday, valentines day, christmas ect
he's totally the "i don't want to go to bed fighting type"
carving pumpkins as a date during halloween
speaking of halloween i feel like he would love scaring kids that are out trick or treating
never goes overboard with pranking you (and will get a bit pissed off if any of the other guys do)
extra cuddly if he's drunk
doesn't notice it and will 100% deny it but he squeezes your hand a bit tighter when he's nervous
loves seeing you in his clothes
covers the corners of tables if you're bending underneath them so you don't get hurt
can and will bodyslam you into anything soft whenever he feels like it
puts his hand in the back pocket of your jeans
if you ask nicely he'll turn his loud ass music down
disinfecting his brand (and any of his other wounds/cuts) because you know he won't do it himself
taking care of him when he's sick (and him being a pouty whiny bitch most of the time)
he gets jealous really easily
if needed he gets into bar fights for you (even if he's usually drunk himself)
if you're in jackass too (im guessing you are 'cause come on who wouldn't want to be) he writes crazy ass stunts for you
always makes sure that you don't get hurt during them tho
and if you ever did get hurt while doing a stunt he would be by your side the second it happens
if you don't know how to skate he 100% teaches you
and if you already know then he literally skates with you every chance he gets
you're definitely in viva la bam and also in most radio bam episodes
if you want to he will let you do his nails and makeup
definitely loves cuddling
ryan, dico, raab and rake are your bestfriends
they just come with bam (kinda like a buy one, get one free except its buy one, get four free (idfk lmao))
bro would literally melt if you baked him something
if you're ever wearing a short/tight skirt he stands behind you
rarely takes you out for expensive dates, it's usually just mcdonalds or something similar
this man loves you with his whole heart so please don't hurt him

So I made this post on Tiktok the other day, and I wanted to elaborate on the story behind it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To begin, I see Alan’s facial expression as a sort of bittersweet sentiment. The first episode shows that he and Charlie have some sort of bond, and are able to interact with each other closely because of it.
As the show progresses, we see less and less of this relationship, which could likely be the product of a lack of connection between them, one replaced by Charpim. I feel that up until the show began, they were a closeknit pair, separating themselves from Charlie’s similarly close bond with Pim.
A replaced relationship could explain why Alan rarely ever interferes with Charlie and Pim’s daily interactions, save when he’s making sure they don’t hurt themselves or die (i.e. when he stopped Pim from eating more of his compost worms).
However, in the Brazil episode, we get another albeit thin slice of their relationship when Alan jokes about calling Christ the Redeemer the “Big Jesus”. Alas, as most interactions between them go, this quickly fades and fails to be mirrored later on, as they don’t seem to speak directly for the rest of the episode.
Likewise, through Alan’s remark of “I just see it as the Big Jesus”, distress and an air of awkwardness related to interacting with Charlie bleeds through. He’s grappling on for dear life at any chance of reconciling that closeness he once had, and doesn’t know how to handle an unexpected chance at that happening.
Tumblr media
On to my main point.
I’ve established that Charlie and Alan had some kind of relationship near the beginning of the series that gradually thinned out, hence a lack of interaction between them throughout the rest of the show, and that this bond was displaced by Charpim.
Though Alan seems to be a non-emotional type—until it comes to his favorite food and getting a job done—this could easily be a facade he wears to push others away, or the result of a knot of hurt in his heart after the dissipating of he and Charlie’s relationship. This can unveil the reason he hooks up with random women and why he feels so uncomfortable acknowledging it after the fact: he does it to briefly get Charlie, and what could have been of them, off his mind.
Tumblr media
This is a scant piece of evidence for Alan’s yearning, but who knows what he’s doing and what he’s feeling when he’s off screen, not put off by an exceedingly heavy task?
Back to the point of his pining for Charlie, he does have a bit of time to recover from the loss of their bonding; the show goes through Halloween, Christmas, and Mardi Gras, with the latter two being less than two months apart. This excludes the time before the holiday specials. For the sake of the argument, let’s consider that the passage of time, distractions, and facade allow Alan to heal somewhat.
Due to his time spent at Smiling Friends Inc. during the Charpim boom, he must be used to seeing Charlie and Pim’s relations ceaselessly, from the tightest of conversations to the standard friendly interactions. It’s never anything new.
The kiss, however, is out of the ordinary for them—especially in the presence of others. This is the first time we’ve seen them interact in such a way, and it happened to occur when Alan was watching.
It’s not difficult to infer that, because of that and the romantic connotation that comes with kissing, the interaction clearly struck a cord for our rosy friend. As mentioned previously, because of Alan’s adaption to Charpim interplay, it’s not a strong enough relation to strike one hard.
Regardless, he holds on to that retired bond he had with Charlie just enough to show visible bitterness after the fact. It’s a glance of jealousy and reminiscence rather than disgust or hate.

Actual question, what on earth was Skoodge even doing in Zim’s basement this entire time?
Canonically he reveals himself in a lost episode when he finally got bored hiding out down there and overheard there were shenanigans about to happen that he could join in on.
But he’s explicitly been there since Hobo 13.
…..
That was Season One. There’s been like 18 episodes between that and the series end. Valentines Day, Halloween, Minimoose’s birth, AND Christmas has passed in the meantime. Wtf has he been up to down there while also being undetected by Zim and Gir. Earth Tv? Space Tv? Stealing out of the pantry like a little mousey boy? Crawling through the walls looking for cheese and eavesdropping on Earth drama????
Not a week goes by where I don’t imagine how funny it would have been if Zim and Gir were out of house for a while and Dib just catches Skoodge casually wandering around on one of his spy cameras. Just
“Holy smokes Zim really let himself go” and then watched the round bastard do fuckall for like 3 days

The Moon in Moonlight Chicken
Has anyone done an analysis of the moon phases in alignment with the events of Moonlight Chicken yet?
Episode 1 starts with the night of the full moon in Thailand on September 10, 2022. We know the exact date thanks to Uncle Jim's beer can. I googled it, and that was really a full moon in Thailand in real life!
Episode 2 takes place across a full moon too, with Wen finalizing a Halloween display for his work. So it's presumably October 10th at that point.
In episode 3, there's another full moon night, aligning with Loy Krathong on what was November 8th in 2022.
It goes on from there, with key plot points happening with the phases of the moon in each episode.
I start getting fuzzy with the timeline around Christmas/New Years because the December full moon was December 8th, and you see people have set up Christmas decorations in episode 4. But unlike past episodes, the transition from the events of episode 4 to 5 does not include a month long time skip. So I would wager that some plot developments happen on the New Moon of December 23rd (maybe the Alan/Wen/Jim fight in the diner?). New Moons represent the start of a new cycle, a reset, so it would be thematically relevant.
I was just thinking about this today and wondering if anyone in Tumblr BL fandom had tracked this. If not, maybe I'll do a re-watch and try to piece it all together for us!
@lurkingshan, @bengiyo, @chickenstrangers, @wen-kexing-apologist, @twig-tea, anyone know?

It’s season 6 but the Halloween episodes are still missing and there’s no Christmas episode this season either!
#2 of What’s missing from season 6.
Tumblr media
Several things that made 9-1-1 popular with viewers have been missing from episodes during season 6. Maddie’s absence from firefam gatherings is number one and number two includes missing Halloween and Christmas episodes that seem to have been erased from the season lineup.  Therefore the question is what happened to the Halloween and Christmas episodes?  A lot of viewers started watching 9-1-1 because of those episodes but there hasn’t been a Halloween episode since season 3 and even though there was a Christmas episode in season 5, it was SUPER DEPRESSING and based on comments from viewers after the episode aired, no one felt joyous or like celebrating when it was over.  There won’t be a Christmas episode in season 6 and there hasn’t been a reasonable explanation provided as to why these types of episodes have been removed from the show’s lineup.
Halloween
Halloween episodes in seasons 1, 2 and 3 all had some of the absolute best 9-1-1 calls included in them. In 1x7 “Full Moon Creepy AF”, Bobby and Buck had to deliver a lot of babies when they were dispatched to a pregnant Yoga class. In 2x7 “Haunted” there was a gravedigger who got buried alive and a police officer who lost his police horse partner.  Hen drove a forklift to get the gravedigger out which was awesome.  The police horse got injured during a stampede at a Halloween gathering and the police officer didn’t want him to suffer.  Hen was going to put the police horse down but she was too emotional to do it, so Bobby had to take over. There was a corn maze with crows in 3x6 “Monsters” and after two children started throwing rocks at them, the crows attacked them.  Also Buck rescued a man from the front windshield of a woman’s car because after she hit him, she experienced a brain injury but she kept driving around for two days with his body sticking out of her windshield.  Buck was still on blood thinners at the time, so his actions were epic especially since he had just returned to work after the lawsuit. There was no Halloween episode in season 4 probably because the season only had 14 instead of the usual 18 episodes but there was no good reason given as to why the original 5x7 “Ghost Stories” never aired.  It was supposed to include the ghost roommate story which a lot of audience members were excited to see but the whole episode was reshot and the revised version was DISAPPOINTING to say the least. Also there wasn’t a Halloween episode this season and 6x7 “Cursed” doesn’t count mainly because it was focused on only one victim and there also weren’t any references to Halloween like there had been in the past.
Christmas
Christmas episodes in seasons 2 and 3 were times that allowed the firefam, Athena and Maddie to come together as a family.  Bobby and Athena hosted a Christmas party at their house in 2x10 “Merry X-Mas” and Buck worked with Athena in 3x10 “Christmas Spirit” to organize it so that the 118’s families could join them for the holiday since they all had to work.  There wasn’t a Christmas episode in season 4 because it was a shorter season but the 5x10 “Wrapped in Red” Christmas episode was just DISMAL and SAD since Chimney, Maddie and Jee-Yun were gone and Eddie quit the 118.  Now it’s season 6 and episode 10 won’t air until March 2023 which probably means tonight’s 6x9 “Red Flag” episode won’t be related to Christmas at all.
What’s happened to the show and why were all these abrupt and sudden changes made to the formula that’s been working since season 1?  Last year the excuse provided was that a lot of the mains were missing and there were scheduling issues that prevented some episodes in 5A from being completed. What’s the excuse this season because all of the mains are present and accounted for and if any scheduling issues exist, then why did season 6A filming start earlier than usual on July 11th?  Can the showrunner please reinstate the original 9-1-1 formula that worked and stop trying to reinvent it?  This is a procedural drama not a sitcom or a CW show so please include the two themed episodes in season 7 so that the type of 9-1-1 calls the audience has enjoyed for 3 out of 6 seasons can be included.

Hold on ,,, i kinda fell out of the fandom a while ago
Is Tervo canon now?? Like... earnest canon? Not just in that limbo between homophobic jokes and queerbaiting but like... Actual committed, loving relationship that they're both working on and they don't just sometimes kiss for laughs?
Because in that case i might start watching again
(I fell off just before the christmas special)
OH BOY ANON YOU JUST ACTIVATED MY AUTISM
So the short answer is yes though not 100% and I understand if that’s not what you’re looking for but if you have time you can listen to me go off:
So they pretty much do everything except stare directly at the audience and announce that their in a relationship but the show pretty much tells us they’re in relationship
We’ll start with the Christmas Special since you stopped there.
There’s only one “tervo” scene where Terry reveals he’s been practicing punching for Korvo’s Christmas present and they share a kiss which is the best kiss we’ve gotten from them.
Tumblr media
It’s very sweet
Now onto s3
I’m linking my own video if you want to watch the scenes yourself but don’t worry I’m gonna break into them: link to video
There’s a lot of little things through out the season the word “husband” is thrown around a lot, in episode 2 Terry refers to Korvo as babe a personal fave of mine. There’s also huge implications they’re having sex with each other which you know helps.
The main episodes with the biggest Tervo moments are episode 3 The Pupas Big Day and episode 8 The Cubic Lattice Crystallizer
The Pupa’s Big Day features jealous Korvo in the best possible way (this is my personally favorite episode in the series by the way)
Tumblr media
I don’t want to ruin the episodes for you but Terry is buddy buddy with a new character and it drives Korvo crazy. In the end the episode ends with with this line:
Tumblr media
Tervo for the soul
The Cubic Lattice Crystallizer starts well with this:
Tumblr media
After the fam goes on vacation and a few shenanigans happens until Terry and Korvo end up a museum of betrayals which features an animatronic of Korvo getting banged by Chris the red goobler
This sets off Terry who shows quite a bit a jealousy from the situation I’m not going to show it cause of tumblr’s nsfw rules but the animatronic says something along the lines
“I’m coming harder than I do with Terry”
The final scene I want to talk about come from the season finale The Fog of Pupa. Ms. Frankie reveals the cunnilingus Korvo gave her in the s2 finale and Terry give him this look:
Tumblr media
It’s just screams Terry’s pissed at Korvo for this but why would he be if they weren’t in a relationship??
Outside that we have the Halloween special where it’s revealed Korvo gave Terry bj coupons for Valentines Day
Tumblr media
Cute
Also found this excerpt article with Mike McMahan (here’s a link for the entire article)
Tumblr media
In the s4 preview (youtube link) Terry pretty much is the sole reason Korvo is British now because it made him horny, he also calls Korvo sweetie in the clip.
We also have a Valentines episode to look forward too which a lot of people are speculating a tervo wedding as “something big” is suppose to happen to two characters hmmm…..
So are they in a relationship? I like to think so but I’m also autistic and a little insane and I eat up all the scraps they give me. Maybe I’m delusional but i feel there’s a ton of evidence here. If you think this is just queerbait material I understand but I think it’s pretty clear they’re in love with each other. Either way I can't wait for s4 and more tervo content for me to tear into and analyze the death.
Anyway thanks for sticking with me here and I hope this answered your question!

a rough, addison-centric timeline of grey's anatomy/private practice
an anon sent me an ask about when greys/private practice took place and a rough timeline for addison. then i went to edit the draft and accidentallly deleted it. so, i'm sorry, anon! i hope you find this post lol.
okay, so, the grey’s universe contradicts itself multiple times when it comes to the timeline so this is my best approximation/what makes the most sense. i’m putting this in bulleted list format lol bc initially i had a long rambly paragraph that was me basically doing the math as i went. i also got way too carried away and this may be more detailed than you needed. 
Pre-show/establishing age
addison is 39 by the end of season three. this makes absolutely no sense considering her extensive credentials but shhh dont worry about it. in my head i justify it bc she canonically graduated college early, and in my head she skipped a grade or two
she and derek are heavily implied to have met their very first semester of med school. they married in 1994. So there is no official timeline on what years she completed her undergrad, when she graduated med school, or when she completed her residencies and fellowships. 
GA seasons 1-3 
the first three seasons of greys are all one year (they span meredith & friends' intern year)
i initially thought season one took place in 2005 (when the show airs) but in order for everything else to fit it must be 2006. the show contradicts itself about this a few times. personally, i think 2005 makes more sense because addison and derek were married in 1994 and they were married for 11 years at this point. but, they must have made allowances for the fact that three seasons spanned one year.
season one runs from summer to fall 2006. meredith spends two months with derek before addison shows up. addison spends those same two months with mark in new york. so her whole pregnancy/abortion/blonde-hair-for-a-minute all happens in late summer/fall, then she shows up in seattle at the end of season one and by her fabulous fur lined coat, we can gather that it’s fall.
season two picks up directly after season one with no time gap. We get christmas and thanksgiving episodes, and it stretches into spring 2007 (the hospital prom takes place during actual prom season for richard’s niece)
season three once again picks up directly after season two with no gap. addison and derek’s divorce is finalized pretty quickly into the season but i couldnt get the date. the season ends definitively around mid june, because that’s when cristina and burke’s wedding was meant to take place. the two part backdoor pilot for private practice spans the two episodes directly before the wedding/finale, so addison presumably visited L.A around late may/early june 2007 and then came back before the wedding
PP season 1 (+GA season 4)
season one of private practice aired concurrently with grey’s season 4 and the timeline runs directly parallel. there are only nine episodes and they make very very few references to time, so we have to extrapolate from grey’s.
they say that there's a short gap between cristina’s wedding and the start of their second residency year so, season four picks up around early/mid july, meaning private practice also starts around this time. 
grey;s has a halloween episode early on (episode five or six) and presumably runs through the rest of fall and winter. PP season one ends after the ninth episode, which aired before the ninth episode of grey’s. then, addison comes to seattle in GA S4 ep 13. in the episode directly after this, the article comes out about burke winning the “2008 harper avery award”, so i believe this visit is already early 2008. 
PP season 2 (+GA season 5)
seasons 4 and 5 of GA take place over one year, so pp seasons 1 and 2 must also be one year. there are very few time references, so we have to extrapolate from grey’s again. there is a few months long gap between seasons 1 and 2 (bc of the time during which grey's was airing but pp was not)
episode five of grey's takes place in october (so ep 5 of pp must also be around october)
GA 5x14 and PP 2x15 run parallel to eachother. addison calls derek at the end of these episodes. i'm pretty sure this is meant to take place in january or february 2009 (at this point the air dates are closely lined up with the in universe dates). this whole crossover arc spans two episodes of PP and one episode of GA and i’m pretty sure its meant to take place over just a few days.
2x18 of PP takes place over three months so im guessing its at least early summer 2009 by the time the season ends
PP season 3 (+GA season 6)
season three picks up directly after season two (violet’s attack). season 6 of GA also picks up directly after their previous season (george's death). but then GA 6x1 and 6x2 take place over forty days and PP 3x2 picks up a month after 3x1. So theres a lot of futzing and messing with the timeline to make up for gaps and cliffhangers between seasons already. 
they mention that seattle grace mercy west is established in 2009
PP 3x3 is a direct continuation of GA 6x5, for reference
the grey's holiday episode this season (6x10) spans from november 2009, to january 1st 2010. and then PP 3x11 is a direct continuation of GA 6x11. i am assuming it's still january 2010 at this point. (this is also directly after addison finds out the truth about bizzy and susan)
there's a valentines episode of greys (ep 14), so pp 3x14 is probably also february 2010
3x16 to 3x19 take place over two months but then i'm not entirely sure on the timeline of pete and violet’s custody battle
the two part grey's finale/shooting episode takes place some time in late spring or summer 2010 (the next residency year starts in july)
PP season 4 (+GA season 7)
i couldn’t catch the date on dell’s headstone but his death was definitly late spring 2010.
7x1 of GA takes place two months after the season six finale. The episodes where they have to treat the casualties from a college campus shooting (7x10 and 7x11) take place around christmas 2010
4x6 of PP takes place before halloween (pete and violet talk about lucas’s costume) so its october 2010
the musical episode (7x18) is sofia's birthday, which is in may 2011. the PP episode 4x18 runs exactly parallel to it.
callie and arizona’s wedding is 7x20 and its stated that sofia is 3 months old, thus this is three months after both GA 7x18 and PP 4x18
So to recap: private practice season four takes place from around late spring/summer 2010 to spring/summer 2011
PP season 5 (+GA season 8)
here where it gets more tricky bc they do some time jumps around amelia’s pregnancy 
the first episode of season 8 of greys takes place on july 1st 2011. the three episode arc in which teddy’s husband dies (eps 8, 9, 10) take place around mid january i think, based on what she says in the valentines episode (ep 14). the plane crash (the final ep of the season) takes place around mid may 2012.
season five of pp picks up right after season four (pete’s heart attack). the second episode jumps to a month later
episode 5x8 (amelia’s intervention) takes place 12 days after 5x7. assuming this lines up with greys, her intervention, ryan’s death, and her admission to rehab probably take place in late december 2011. then her episode in rehab (5x9) spans the course of fifty days, so the next episode (5x10) likely takes place in mid february
amelia is 20 weeks pregnant in 5x16. i’m going to assume that christopher was conceived very close to the night of ryan’s OD, so i’m guessing it's late spring at this point
5x19 is the episode where amelia gets the horrible news about her baby. There is a time jump. she is six months pregnant at the beginning and seven months pregnant at the end. She gives birth in the season finale. i'm guessing it's already late summer at this point, though somehow addison and amelia did not know about the plane crash. 
so based on the timeline of amelia’s relapse and pregnancy, plus the grey’s timeline, i'm fairly certain season five of private practice take place summer 2011 to summer 2012.
PP season 6 (+GA season 9)
this one's gonna piss me off bc they do so many time jumps in an attempt to tie up loose ends before the show ends
there is a bit of a time jump before season 6, but in the season premiere, amelia celebrates one year of sobriety. so it must already be late 2012. i’m leaving wiggle room with my guesswork for last season, because imo the canon timeline they’re establishing of the last season is a little iffy.
its implied that addison and jake have been together for these past few months between seasons
pete’s memorial happens in 2x2. addison gets the call that mark has been taken off life support, so this episode must run parallel to greys 9x1. there has also been a time jump between GA seasons. it’s unclear whether or not addison visited mark while on life support, but it had likely been a few months so it's possible. they state that mark died in 2012 so it's not yet 2013.
they jump back and forth in time too much over the course of charlotte's pregnancy, henry’s adoption, and vivian carlsmith’s death. the entire season was meant to be a finale, so a lot of episodes focus only on one or two characters and have events that happen concurrently with the events of other episodes and it gets all muddled. but i'm pretty sure episodes 1-12 span a little under nine months (charlotte discovers she's pregnant at the beginning of the season and gives birth in ep 12). so her pregnancy serves as a backdrop to all these other storylines that overlap in these 12 episodes.
there is some kind of time jump between the triplets birth in 6x12 and addison’s wedding in 6x13 but not a very long one.
there is a thirteen week time jump between addison’s wedding and naomi’s ultrasound, then a little longer before sam and naomi’s second wedding.
so from what i can gather, season six took place over the course of around a year, starting in late 2012 and ending in late 2013 (potentially early 2014?? at some point this season the timeline diverges from greys so that they can utilize all the time jumps)

Ghosts 3x4 Episode thoughts
I am super excited for this. I love going in with complete blindness.
It's made the show so much better. Also, seriously spoiling some stuff in the preview commercial just now.
I love the Halloween stuff.
LMAO at Thor's excitement! He's cute - ohhhhh Sam's response was good.
"Not exactly like a kid on Christmas."
OMG - Sass and Hetty. They are funny.
They are such dorks.
The ghosts are so not great.
Awww "Not the package Thor" - Get arms sliced off.
Hetty has no chill. Apple picking is fun.
I love the faces on Isaac/Trevor's faces when Pete's wife showed up.
Wait, did I miss it - Did Trevor do this?
Oh Pete's so not ready for this.
Ohhhhh Pete/Jay without Jay hearing his support.
Uh oh uh oh.
She's dying from choking? On donut holes????
Also love the seance and 50 year old bag of weed.
Also Trevor/Sass sitting together a lot.
Jay! OMG
Also, what is up with the way Isaac is sitting? It's very .... sexy posy.
OOOOOOOH. That was great - them seeing that.
NO ONE THERE TO WITNESS CAROL'S DEATH???
I love that they really want to see Flower :)
Ohhhhh Jay. Oh, oh, Jay.
Ahhh Jay's ghost notes.
That was definitely graphic, Sass.
Isaac suggesting Jay do it.
Poor Jay, he's so going to do it.
Awww Thor! That's so cute.
Sam lying about the possibility of the parts.
I love Sam as a pumpkin!!!! And them mocking her.
OMG OMG OMG OMG.
Sam talking to Carol not knowing!!!!
I LOVE that they still don't know!!!
OH Poor Pete! "Meow Meow". - Isaac trying to get him to join.
I love how this party is so big! It's perfect!
OMG OMG OMG. "You win the costume contest."
Trevor being like "WE GOTTA TELL SAM"
Sam putting a foot down! And Hetty being like "Well, guess we can't tell her or do anything."
Awwwww the friends are like "AH SAM."
I can't believe she hasn't realized she's talking to a ghost.
"Found the corpse"
OMG they think they killed her???
Hetty being like "Well, I would tell her but she said no." (outdated advice).
They are so freaked out and Jay is NOT Helping!
GOD THIS IS DELIVERING!
I love how cheerful the ghosts are about it.
Jay found her ring!!! COME ON FLOWER!
The ghosts not telling her about Carol 'cause they're made at her!
THEM RUNNING!
OH PETE!
The faces on Isaac and Trevor!
Technically she's right - right about his LIONS!??? SASS OMG.
They thinking that they're murderers!
HOLY FUCK! NO ONE TOLD PETE????
The screaming! No one at the party noticing????
Sass is like "couple of things..."
WOWWWWWW!
Sam is right to be upset!
That is ironic! Honestly!
"The coroner's on the way clearing out the party."
"Since that is all I am good for."
Aww Pete, "What did I do to the Universe?"
This is so fucking funny.
Love Carol asking questions and Trevor's like "Not now".
Just saying, Sam was right to yell at them. and they were petty.
Also, no Isaac speech???
"Hello, my lions!"
So... we're waiting on the last minute... I really hope they don't just sent Carol off 'cause Pete needs to yell at her first!
Carol's questions.... "Let it soak in"
Jay! You're not helping!
Trevor is like "CAROL we're in the middle of something!"
Nothing is happening!
OMG OMG OMG Flower is DOWN A WELL????
YES FLOWER IS NOT GONE!
A wonder if Carol's questions will lead to a nod to Jay's ghost manual!
I love that everyone's like On Pete's Side! YESSSSS.
I'm excited, this was awesome!
TALK TO ME PEOPLE :)

GHOSTFORCE OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION (series necessary to watch to better understand MLB)
Given that there will clearly be a crossover with Ghostforce, I was forced to watch it, in 3 days I did a marathon and binge-watched everything about the series hahahahaha
Tumblr media
what is it about? : there are 3 boys who must capture ghosts in capsules using superpowers, ghosts that appear out of nowhere and cause chaos, they have the help of miss jones, a half-human, half-ghost scientist who studies ghosts and a robot called glowboo, with the power to illuminate.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are 2 seasons: the 1st season has 52 episodes and the 2nd also has 52, but the latter is still broadcast, each episode lasts approximately 12 minutes, as for movies, there are none so far, but there are 2 specials, one for Halloween and one for Christmas, both lasting approximately 21 minutes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
how is it? My criticism and opinion: The truth is that it is a very good series, I really like the idea of ​​fighting ghosts in the Ghostbuster style, and I also think that the concept of light and dark is very good, the characters are good, and well, One thing that I do like is how they leave the villain in the veil of mystery (something that MLB does not do) and also how the relationship between man and woman is carried out in the dynamics of battles, you know we are in the era where the woman has to being perfect and the trash man, but here this is well balanced and everyone contributes something important, which is appreciated, what I do think can play in a negative way is that they are very long seasons and even though the episodes are short, sometimes It is hard to see, because sometimes the dynamics are similar, (a bit like what happened in MLB) but of course, it is necessary to see because they are presentations of characters.
For me, the best have been the specials, especially the Halloween one, which undoubtedly best captures the essence of this series, and what its concept is, these are my favorites.
Tumblr media
As for the animation and soundtrack, the truth is that it is also very good, it is average, a bit childish but not unpleasant to see, where it can best be appreciated is in the spaces, where the conditions are met, the music too It's fine but it often has Miraculous vibes, in fact, there is some recycling, and it will seem like you are watching this series hahaha.
Should we see it? :Yes, but come on, go see it right now!!! not because of how good she is but because of her connection with miraculous LADYBUG.
miraculous and ghostforce occur in the same universe and are connected, but on some amazing levels, there are references everywhere,
Tumblr media
so it is logical that there is going to be a crossover, but, as I tell you, as I have watched the series this goes further, I mean the LONDON thing IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED GUYS!!!! , there are a lot of clues, so to speak, that the series itself leaves to imply how ALL THIS WILL COME TOGETHER more than once, it will be like MARVEL AND DC, so if you are a fan of miraculous ladybug, yes or yes You are going to have to watch this series because in the future everything is going to be connected to each other and you are going to get lost, (TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS IS GOING TO BE LIKE AVENGERS ENGAME, CLEARLY IF YOU DON'T SEEN CAPTAIN AMERICA, OR IRON MAN OR AVENGERS, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING AT ALL) and let's not talk about Zak Storm, this series has a subtle hint of that series, so imagine!!!!! And, this series is long so I recommend that you hurry up, another thing is that as you already know I have said that Miraculous LADYBUG is a puzzle and gives clues to what is going to happen next, right? Well, GHOSTFORCE is also part of that and has helped me better understand MLB, so if you have those types of problems, this series will also help you.
MIRACULER YEARS AGO :"HEY!" YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER OF MLB, BECAUSE IF NOT YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE DOES THIS OR THAT." MIRACULER TODAY "YOU HAVE TO WATCH ALL THE SERIES in the ZAG universe BECAUSE IF NOT, YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CHARACTER IS IN THE OTHER HERO'S COUNTRY AND THEY WORK TOGETHER ETC…"
Tumblr media
CONCLUSION: YOU HAVE TO CATCH UP WITH ALL THIS, GO SEE IT, YOU WILL ENJOY IT AND YOU WILL BE MORE UP TO DATE WITH THIS WORLD OF HEROES THAT JEREMY IS SETTING UP, I FOR ONE, WHEN I FINISH MY ZAG POSTS, I WILL START MAKING THEORIES OF THE LONDON SPECIAL AND GHOSTFORCE WITH MLB BECAUSE SERIOUSLY I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY THINGS!!!!!
thanks for all the reblogs and likes, we really love it.
Tumblr media
Like, reblog and follow me if you liked the content and to see more of them.
See you in future posts

Chapter 13: Happy Endings...
Raining Hellfire: Season One | Season Two
Tumblr media
Raining Hellfire: Season Two [Finale]
Word Count: 6710 words
Warnings: swearing, lots of fluff, mentions of adoption, slight mention of death, visions, I tried my best to make it a happy one okay
[A/N: This is the last chapter for Season Two and wow I didn't think this many of you would love my story. Thank you all for reading and keeping up with me. I know we've come so far from an Eddie x Reader story but I really wanted to give the reader more of a role in the episodes than just pining over eddie all the time. Anyways, please enjoy and read til the end for an announcement :)]
Tumblr media
Happy Endings...
One month later…
December was easily your favourite time of year. Something about the buzz of Christmas and how the cold felt right just made you happy. It was almost peaceful.
After a long day of shopping for outfits and presents, you make your way home so you could start getting ready. You had volunteered for the Snow Ball at the middle school a while ago with Nancy, both promising over the summer that it would be fun just to sit and chat in nice clothing. It hurt a little to know that promise meant nothing now.
You would both be there, especially since you’re too polite to cancel on the school, yet you will probably end up in different corners of the room to just exchange small smiles once in a while. At least the kids would be there. Dustin was over-excited to find out you would be attending.
Letting the door swing open, you struggled with the bags as you tread fallen snow through the hallway. With a sigh, you drop the shopping and kick off your shoes. You may have gone overboard on Christmas presents this year. But, after the month you had, you figured everyone would need some kind of cheer.
You lazily flicked on the light to the living room, removing the scarf from your neck before you saw something shift in the corner of your eye. You glance over and find a figure sat in an armchair, just staring at you.
You screamed.
“Hey! Woah, calm down. It’s me!”
In the time it took them to stand up and walk closer into view, you had reached around the corner to grab your trusted bat, bringing it up in front of you.
“Talk about deja-vu.” He laughed and your eyes widened.
You didn’t lower the bat. Billy was in your house. Billy was in your house. How did he-
He holds both his hands up in surrender, a familiar set of keys dangling from his fingers as he slowly sets them on a table. You had completely forgotten about the Halloween party, how he had swiped your keys.
In all fairness, you had a lot to worry about that didn’t include shitty exes.
“I’m just here to talk.” He glances in your general direction and lowers his arms, shoulders slumped. He almost looked… scared.
“What do you want?” You practically spat the words at him.
The last time you saw him was the night he tried to attack Lucas, the night he actually attacked you and Steve. If Max hadn’t stopped him, he would have killed your best friend. You did return his car, but you didn’t stay long enough to even see him.
“To…” He takes a breath, finally bringing himself to look you in the eyes. “I’m sorry.”
Once he says it, it’s like a dam was burst in his mind, allowing his true thoughts to finally escape.
“I’m sorry for everything, Y/n. I… I don’t even have any excuses anymore. Everything went to shit. Everything and… I don’t know what happened to me.”
You lower the bat and prop it against the wall within reaching distance.
“You realise an apology won’t change anything, right?” You risk a step closer, “You hurt a lot of people, Billy. Innocent kids. Hell, if I weren’t there- if Steve wasn’t there, then you would have hurt Lucas-”
“But I-” He tries but he’s not the only one in need of closure.
“And Steve, oh my god, you almost killed him. I- I don’t even know why I’m talking to you right now.” You raise your arms in exasperation, moving to walk away and yell at him to leave.
“I know.” He follows you into the hallway, practically begging. It was more than unusual for him. “I know and I hate myself for it.”
That took you by surprise. You stop, turning back to look at the boy stood just outside of the living room.
“Then why?” You shake your head, trying to process the fact that Billy Hargrove was apologising to you. “What the hell happened to you?”
He stays silent, avoiding your eyes yet again.
Billy used to be the sweetest boy you knew, even with an abusive father. But you knew that was because of his mother. They had a bond that could never be broken. That was until she left.
“Billy…” You try, crossing your arms across your torso for comfort.
“You left.” He whispered, staring at the photo on the desk next to him; it was one of you as a child, sitting with your aunt when she had visited once. “I thought… I thought you just left. I thought it was my fault.”
You try to respond but nothing seems to leave your lips. He takes your silence as his cue to continue.
“I deserve it. All of it. I was an asshole. I treated you like shit and you never did anything wrong. It was never- But… Lillian died. You had fought her and that’s- that’s when I realised.” He looks up to you, eyes foggy, “I did that.”
“No, you-” As much as you hated Billy, you weren’t letting him take the fall for something you did. You weren’t that kind of person.
“You were always so kind, so patient and… I took my anger out on you. Because it was easy.” He stepped closer, shaking his head as all the pieces in his mind fell together, “And then you did the same to your best friend. Don’t you see, Y/n? It’s an endless fucking cycle of pain and misery all because my dad wasn’t given enough fucking attention.”
At this point, you had nothing to say. You just stared, speechless.
“When you left, before I could explain anything… it felt like any hope I had for redemption was ripped out of my body. You were the only person in California I gave a shit about. And I ruined it. Just like I’m ruining it now.”
“What are you talking about?” You ask before realising as soon as the words left your mouth, “Max.”
“I never had a sibling before.” He shrugs, shaking his head.
“You can’t treat her the way you treated me.” You blurt and he whips his head up to you, “She won’t be your personal punching bag.”
“I never wanted to-”
“I know. I know you never wanted to, but you did. You did hurt me, even when we were friends. And I let you. Because I met Neil and I saw how he manipulated you, poisoned your mind and for that, he will always be my enemy. But you can’t use that as an excuse-”
“That’s just how any kid in that position would react! There is no way around that!” He yells but you won’t be intimidated.
“No.” You say, determined fire in your eyes, “No. Shitty fathers are around much more than you think. Abusive ones… just look at Jonathan Byers. You may not see him the way I do, the way all of his friends do, but have you ever stopped to think that he was in the exact same position as you? You both broke from the pressure, had to deal with a father-figure that only wanted to tear you down. But the one difference? Jonathan used that pain to protect his friends, to become the person he wanted to be. Don’t ever tell me that there isn’t a choice in any of this!”
“What do you want from me, Y/n? To be like Byers?”
“I just… I just wanted you to talk to me, Billy! That’s all. Maybe if you did…”
“Nothing would have changed.” He says with so much certainty that you stepped back in surprise. “That party would have still happened. You would have still moved away. Nothing between us would have changed. We wouldn’t be together.”
“You don’t know that.” You sigh.
“You looked happy.” Billy smiles sadly, hands in pockets. “Getting here and seeing you with that freak-”
“Eddie.” You cross your arms. You’d be damned if you’d let anyone call him that around you. “His name is Eddie.”
“Yeah, Eddie. I, uh… I hated it.” He chuckled lowly, “I hated that you were happy when I was more miserable than ever. I blamed you for everything.”
“Why?”
“I thought you ran away. Left everyone without a care. Max tried to tell me the truth and I didn’t listen. Didn’t want to, I guess.” He leans against the wall, nodding. “I get it now.”
“Good.” You cross your arms, staring at the floor, “I never wanted to leave. Not at the time but now… I know that part of me was glad to leave it all behind.”
“You should be.” He muttered before looking at you, “That night… Lillian-”
You shake your head, cutting off his words. You didn’t need the reminder. “I don’t-”
“I won’t tell anyone.”
You look up with confusion.
“I’m not a narc.” Billy shrugs, “Whatever I saw that night… It’s not important anymore. Everyone was drunk and mad at eachother. Stuff like that just happens.”
“What did happen?” You furrow your brows. You knew what happened, at least with the before and after. But you still couldn’t remember the actual fight itself, how she even ended up in the pool…
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He smirks, thinking it’s a test, and he heads to the door, careful to keep his distance from you.
“Billy. Wait…” You follow him out the door and he stops before the last step off the porch. You had too many burning questions so you settled for one he could actually answer.
“What happened when I left California?”
The question hung in the air before Billy stepped off the porch and turned to you one last time, smiling thinly.
“I had no reason to care anymore.”
And with that, he continues walking away, leaving you on your porch to process what just happened.
Tumblr media
Despite your last visit to the Hargrove-Mayfield home, you forced yourself to ring the doorbell, gritting your teeth once Neil greets you.
“Hello, Y/n. Lovely to see you again.” He smiles. Oh, how you wished you could rip that moustache off his face and feed it to him.
“I’m here to help Max get ready for the dance.” You force a sweet smile onto your face, sighing relief when he points you in the right direction and leaves you to it, clearly not interested.
You find Max in the bathroom, Susan stood above her as she twists her ginger locks into a bun. Max looks as if she is about to throw up any moment as she stares at her reflection.
“Oh, Y/n. Good, you’re here.” Susan comments as if you were just some required visitor. Max rolled her eyes.
“Hey, Y/n. Mom, you can go now.” She turned to face her, eyes wide and practically begging her to leave.
“Okay, okay. You girls have fun.” Susan smiles, walking past you.
Usually, you’d be more than happy for her to leave you alone. But curiosity got the better of you.
“Actually-” You stop her in her tracks and you glance back to Max. “I’ll be right back.”
Your sister gave you a confused nod and continued to fiddle with her hair in the mirror.
“Did you need something, sweetheart?” Susan asked, almost as if the last conversation between you never happened.
You knew you wouldn’t have her attention for very long, so you jumped straight into it.
“Am I adopted?”
The silence was the only answer you needed as your mother stared at you. It took a while before she found the words to speak.
“Yes.” She sighed, relaxing her shoulders.
“Why didn’t you say anything?” You question, fiddling with the bottom of your dress. It was the first dress you had worn since last year’s funeral and it felt nice. Only because you picked it out yourself.
“Because you are my daughter.” She rests her hands on your shoulders. “Blood doesn’t define family. It never did. Sam and I… we were struggling to have a baby. Our last option was adoption and once I saw your beautiful doe eyes staring up at me… I knew there and then that you would be my daughter.”
“Is Max…” You both speak quietly, aware that Max was in the other room.
“No.” Susan shakes her head, “She was our little miracle.”
You take a breath. You had been pondering that question for quite some time now. And now, to see her finally admit it, you felt relief. Like you could start figuring out who you truly were.
“Do you know-”
“If you’re asking about your birth family…” She shakes her head again, “We didn’t know anything about them. Just that they had dropped you off at the orphanage and then left just as quickly as they arrived.”
Great, you thought, more unanswered questions to keep me awake at night.
“I’m sorry for being such a terrible mother.”
That caught you off-guard. “What? No, you-”
“I know, Y/n.” She smiled sadly, “I wasn’t anything like you deserved. It was… it was a terrible time for me. But I’m trying.”
She looks over to Max. “I’m getting a second chance.”
You thought carefully about your next words. “You’re going to be amazing. You were never a bad mother. You were there for me. That’s all I needed.”
“You’ve always been my independent little girl.” She brushes your hair from your face. “You’ll always be my daughter, Y/n. I never wanted to send you here but I was afraid of what people would do to you.”
“I like it here.” You reassure, smiling the first genuine smile you ever gave her, “I have a family here. And… just so you know… you’re always going to be my mother. That won’t change. But… I like living with Uncle Jack. I feel like… we need eachother more than you and I do.”
“As long as you’re safe.”
She kisses your forehead before disappearing to the kitchen. She left you with more clarity than you were expecting.
You make your way back to Max, chuckling as you watch her furiously taking down the bun your mother had insisted on.
“Help me.” She deadpanned when she saw you stood there and you nodded, still smiling.
You swiftly plait part of her hair, bringing it back so the hair was out of her face. She frowned.
“What?” You ask as she points to the hair you currently clipped back. “Oh, I thought you’d want Lucas to see your face when you dance together.”
Her face twisted and you laughed again.
“Ew. No. No, that’s not-” Max keeps shaking her head, “No.”
“You sound so sure.” You smirk, resting your head on her shoulder and looked at her through the mirror. “It’s okay to like someone, Max. Even if it’s someone you’d never expect.”
“Like you and Steve?” She raises her brow and you laugh at the comment. Usually you’d react in disgust. You didn’t know why that wasn’t the case this time.
“He’s my best friend.” You shrug.
“Right.” Max nods, pursing her lips. “Now look who’s in denial.”
“Okay, Madmax. Do you want any makeup?” You change the subject, pointing to the makeup bag at the sink.
“Uh…” She looks up at you, expecting a mocking look. But, instead, you smile, patiently waiting her answer. “Maybe? Won’t that be too… girly?”
“There’s nothing wrong with that.” You say, reaching for the bag to pull out the mascara. “You can still skate when wearing makeup. I don’t think you have to define yourself to one thing. Like you can be both girly and a tomboy. I guess it just depends on how you feel at the end of the day.”
She hums in response, opening her eyes and you lightly brush some mascara on her.
“Okay, look.” You turn her to the mirror and she flutters her eyes.
“Cool.” She shrugs, a soft smile on her lips. “I’m glad you’re back. I know I keep saying that but… I kept your promise.”
You instantly smile, remembering the last words you spoke to eachother before you left. “Really?”
“I never gave up.” She looks at you with her blue eyes, holding your hand.
You grip her hand tighter. “I gave them hell.”
Footsteps approach and you see Susan walking with Billy before parting ways. Billy stops just outside of the bathroom, looking in. Max simply glares at him before turning back to the mirror. His eyes shift to you and you offer a soft smile. He faintly nods before walking away.
“It must be hard for him this time of year.” Susan comments, shaking her head as she moves aside for Max to grab her coat and head to the door.
“What do you mean?” You ask, grabbing your bag.
She looks to you in confusion, assuming you already knew. You shrug and start to walk away before she finally replies.
“His mother died last December.”
Tumblr media
Your uncle had let you borrow his car for the evening. You had both had dinner together as a family the previous night and for once, it felt normal. Usually you’d be too stressed to pay attention and your uncle would still be recovering from a hangover with a beer in his hand. But lately, you’ve both had a breath of fresh air.
You were doing better, taking each day as it came as you reconnected with your sister and rekindled the friendship between you and Steve. Your uncle was 4 days sober, doing his absolute best to be a good parental figure for you and to finally get his life back on track. You both struggled in your own ways but it was worth it.
“Do I look stupid?” Max asked, fiddling with her clothes. “Should I be wearing a dress or-”
“You look amazing. Don't even try to deny it.” You turn off the engine and move to face her. “Ready to go in?”
She glances toward the entrance, frowning. “Yeah. I think I am.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
You both step out of the car and you lock it before snapping the keys shut into your purse and pushing the hair out of your face. Since Billy visited, you hadn’t had time to take care of your hair so it fell loose around your face. You didn’t mind.
“Is that…” Max peered over to the entrance and you followed her gaze. Outside the entrance, a car had pulled up. One you were pretty familiar with.
Dustin stepped out and made his way into the school. Max starts walking and you tap her shoulder, still looking to the car.
“Hey, I’ll see you in there?” You ask and she nods, sending a knowing look.
You make your way over to the vehicle, walking around to the passenger side since you didn’t bring a coat and the cold air was attacking your skin.
As you open the door and slide in, you hear a little yelp from the driver’s seat, making you laugh.
“That’s so not funny.” Steve sighed, running a hand through his hair and glancing back to where he had been looking before you scared him. You notice why he’s staring, smiling softly.
“She looks pretty tonight.” You comment, noticing Nancy stood just in view of the doorway. She really did look pretty.
“Yeah, she does.” He nods, turning back to you.
For a moment, he just stops. Stops moving, stops breathing. You furrow your brows, whipping your head to look behind you. But he was looking at you.
“You good there, Steve?” You laugh, as confused as ever.
“I.. uh…” He stammers before clearing his throat. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m… yeah.”
You shake your head in bemusement before catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. You had completely forgotten about the outfit, the makeup. You looked… nice?
It was definitely something different that you tried. But the emerald dress was calling your name earlier that morning and you couldn’t resist dressing up. After all, you didn’t get a Winter Formal dance.
“I didn’t, uh, realise you were…” Steve waves his hand toward the school, struggling to keep his eyes off your outfit. He most definitely wasn’t used to this.
“Volunteering?” You offer with a soft laugh. “Yeah, me and Nancy signed up a while ago. I was meant to go with her but… you know.”
“Maybe it won’t be that bad.” He suggests but the look on your face disagrees. “Okay, so maybe it will be completely awkward but, I don’t know, isn’t there someone else you can hang out with in there?”
“No.” You sigh, slumping into the car seat, “It’s Saturday night so I’m all by myself because everyone’s busy and-”
You practically squeal as an idea pops into your mind. Steve jumps a little at your sudden outburst, eyes wide.
“Are you having a stroke? Do you smell burning toast?” He questions, leaning away from you in confused fear.
“What? No.” You say as you lean towards him. You’re too invested in your own idea to notice the way his breath hitches. “You. You don’t have any Saturday night plans.”
“Excuse me, how would you know that?” He objects your accusations, shaking his head.
You relax your face, looking to him expressionless, “You literally just dropped off a child to a middle school dance.”
“Okay, okay.” He surrenders, palms raised. “And please don’t say it like that, it sounds creepy.”
“I’m not the one driving around with a 13 year old-”
Steve’s hand suddenly clamps around your mouth and you giggle, causing him to laugh along with you and retreat his hand.
“Get to the point, tinkerbell.” He finally says, resting his arm on the wheel.
“Tinkerbell?” You question and he shrugs. You weirdly like the nickname. “Anyway, I was thinking that since I’ll be all alone in that dance and you have literally zero plans-”
“No. Absolutely not.”
“What, why not?” You pout and his face twists as he tries to resist.
“No, Y/n. Don’t do this to me. Not that face. I’m not going to chaperone a stupid little school dance just so that you won’t be lonely. It’s your own fault, don’t drag me with you.”
He tries, huffing when you continue pouting and shaking his head profusely, “No. That’s my final answer!”
And just a few minutes later, you walk into the dance, taking in the gym’s decorations that hung neatly from the walls.
“This is nice.” You smile.
“I hate you.” Steve crosses his arms, scouting the sea of middle schooler’s before finding the buffet station you were meant to oversee. “Let’s get this over with.”
“Nah, you love this really.” You smirk, setting your purse onto the chair as he leant against the wall.
“I’m not even dressed for the occasion.” He mocks, pulling at his red jumper.
“You look handsome, I don’t think anyone will notice.” You say without any thought, sorting out the paper plates into even piles.
When Steve didn’t reply, you turned around just in time to watch him shift his eyes away from you, pretending to be invested in the hanging snowflakes.
“It really is nice in here.” You shuffle over to him, leaning against the wall so that your shoulders brushed eachother. “I was kind of expecting just a banner and some bunting.”
“Seriously? The schools always go all out for this kind of stuff.” Steve looks at you with a raised eyebrow.
“I guess California does it differently.” You sigh, looking out to see your sister talking to the Party. They all look very smart, dressed up in their suits.
“You didn’t get a formal?” He questions and you hum, focused elsewhere.
“I didn’t get the chance.” You say as your eyes drift over to where Nancy stood.
She was chatting away with Jonathan, the smile on her face brighter than you’d ever seen. You were happy for her. It’s hard to find someone that was truly made for you. Seeing them together was nice until the pang of guilt beat against your chest.
You look to Steve with a grim face but were surprised to see him smiling in their direction.
“I didn’t expect you to be this okay about it.” You confess softly and he chuckles.
“Nancy and I ended ages ago. We just didn’t know it.”
“I’m sorry.” You say and he furrows his brows, “If I had any part in tearing you and Nancy apart, I never meant to-”
“Woah, woah, no. You didn’t do anything.” He shakes his head, pushing off from the wall to stand in front of you. You never expected him to be tall for some reason. “Actually, the only thing you did was give us some clarity. Hell, if you weren’t there, I would never have actually realised what an asshole I was.”
“You were a bit of an asshole.” You laugh when he pretends to be offended.
“Wait.” He looks back to the couple across the room, pointing an accusing finger at you, “Jonathan’s here.”
“Yes, I do believe the guy holding the camera is Jonathan Byers.” You shake your head at him.
“So why did you tell me you wouldn’t have anyone else here to talk to?”
“I wanted to see if I could actually convince you to chaperone a middle school dance.” You smirk, nudging his shoulder. “Turns out the pout still works.”
“Cruel. You are cruel.” He says, unable to hide the smile in his face. “And that pout never worked on me.”
“Liar.” You accuse with a breathy laugh. He starts to object but you cut him off. “I seem to remember it working every single time, actually.”
“Oh, really? Name one time.” He waved his hand, waiting. You stand and ponder for a minute. “See? I told you, it’s never-”
“You snuck into the cinema with me when I didn’t want to go alone, you ended up joining an art class you hated to keep me company, you drove me wherever I wanted and I even convinced you to wear matching jumpers that one time.” You take a breath, looking at him, “Shall I go on?”
“So it worked a couple of times.” He winced and you smile. “They were pretty fun times.”
“God, you make it sound like we’re so old.” You shudder, leaning against the table.
“We are so old, though.” He sighed, rubbing his face, “We graduate soon, that’s scary.”
“Oh god, don’t remind me.” You grimace, “Doubt I’ll even graduate.”
“Like hell you won’t.” He snorts before noticing the stress on your face, “Hey, you’re going to graduate.”
“I’ve missed so many classes, I- I’ve spent the majority of my time fighting off monsters that shouldn’t even exist and when I don’t, I just distract myself because none of that shit ever leaves me-”
You stop your rant, fully aware that if you went on, you’d be admitting to your visions. Steve already went through a lot this year, you weren’t about to shove all of your problems onto him.
“I get it.” Steve smiles sadly and you look back up to him. He had walked over to the table, scanning the food.
“You do?”
“Yeah. I mean, I can’t imagine all the shit you went through last year. I wasn’t there until the very end but…” He takes a breath, forcing his eyes to meet yours, “When I finally found out what happened to Barb. I just- I can’t imagine being home anymore. I mean, I hated it there before but now it’s just… someone died in my backyard.”
Your breath hitches and you instinctively grab his hand, squeezing it.
“I’m sorry.” You whisper.
“It’s not your fault.”
“Maybe…” You purse your lips, trying to think of any solution, “Maybe you can stay over tonight? Jack’s working until the morning again and I don’t particularly want to be alone. Especially after today.”
You laugh faintly at the last part but Steve frowns.
“What happened today?”
You whip your head up. Fuck. “Uh, nothing. I just… I’m just not feeling like staying in my house all by myself.”
Steve squeezes your hand and you realise you had forgotten you were holding his.
“Anyway… we could have a movie night? Just like old times.” You suggest and his eyes light up.
“I would love that.”
You smile before something catches your eye. The song choices had slowed down which meant slow dancing was covering the gym floor. You notice Max and Lucas together and you smile a little. Your eyes drift to El and Mike and then to Will with a girl you didn’t know. You searched for Dustin and his mystery date when you see him sat on the bleachers, head down.
“Oh no.” You mutter and Steve looks in that direction, breath hitching. “Should I-”
Before you could say anything, Nancy crosses the room, offering a hand to Dustin. You couldn’t stop the grin spreading across your face.
“Never mind.” You smile proudly as you watch Nancy pull Dustin to the dance floor. Even with all the hate and the tears, you could never be truly upset with Nancy Wheeler.
Steve clears his throat and you turn, not expecting his hand to be held out to you with a soft smile.
“Care to dance?”
You couldn’t stop the giddy smile on your face as you took his hand. “Would be my pleasure.”
‘Every Breath You Take’ echoed, bouncing of the walls as you swayed to the music with none other than Steve Harrington. The boy you first met when you caught his basketball after throwing a terrible shot, quickly sparking a friendship. The friend who always made you laugh, causing small little butterflies in your stomach whenever his skin brushed against yours. The jock who dumped you for Tommy and Carol when they had claimed you were ‘toxic material’, leaving you with nothing but tears. The guy who saved your life, making you question your hatred. The best friend who did everything in his power to make up lost years.
You were dancing with Steve Harrington and you were happy.
Your arms rested comfortably around his neck as his hands lay gently around your waist, allowing you to move with eachother as the song played. You smiled into his shoulder just as you turned to face the exit doors, something through the glass catching your eye. A flash of dark leather jacket and wild hair. Your breath hitched.
You pulled away from Steve just as the song came to a close and he smiled down to you.
“Do you want something to drink?” He asks you while you still glance at the door.
“Huh?” You shift your gaze to his, ignoring the flutter in your stomach. “Oh, yeah. Please. I, uh… I need to get some air but I’ll meet you back at the table?”
“Sure.” He walks away without much argument and you sigh, heading over to the other side of the gym.
Pushing open the door, you step out into the cold air, breeze hitting your bare skin. It would have caused a reaction if you weren’t still so flushed from the dance.
Eyeing the reason you wanted to come outside, you step down, tilting your head and willing the word to leave your mouth.
“Eddie?”
He quickly spun around despite how quiet your voice was. The music from the gym was blaring behind you as you took another step.
“H-hey.” He smiles, glancing down at your outfit before meeting your eyes again.
“Hi.” You breathe, your chest tightening as you realise how much you missed seeing the dimples in his face. “What, uh… what are you doing here?”
Eddie watched as you gestured to the building before letting out a cough, bringing himself back to focus. “Right. Yeah, I remembered that you were volunteering so…”
“So?” You wonder out loud, fiddling with your dress.
Wordlessly, he shifts himself to face you fully, bringing his left arm forward to reveal your Walkman. There’s a pang in your chest at the sight of your tape player.
“You left it at mine.” He clears his throat again, extending his arm to bring the object closer to you, “I figured stealing it wouldn’t be very chivalrous of me.”
“Yeah, I heard it’s frowned upon.” You laugh softly, walking closer and gently taking it from his hand, “Thank you. You didn’t have to come all the way out here.”
“I- I wanted to. It’s no big deal.” He shrugged as if he truly meant it. He stared at you a little longer and you wonder why. Was he waiting for something?
“Oh.” You suddenly speak, remembering. He furrows his brows at you. “I… I don’t have your necklace with me right now.”
You notice how his face falls slightly and you worry that you’ve somehow ruined his entire night by not returning the guitar pick.
“No, no, you don’t have to-” He tries but you’re way too deep in panic and guilt to stop talking at 100 miles per hour.
“No, I have it at home. Maybe I can just drive back and-”
“Y/n.”
“It’s not very far anyway, my uncle gave me a car so it won’t take very long-”
“Y/n!” Eddie placed both hands on your shoulders and you snapped your mouth shut. You didn’t even noticed he had closed the distance between you. He let out a breathy chuckle, shaking his head. “It’s okay. It was a gift, it’s… it’s yours.”
“Are you sure?” Your voice was barely a whisper now, still reeling from the fact that you were staring into his chocolate brown eyes for the first time since you broke up.
“I have the ring you gave me.” He brought his hand down to show the familiar ring on his right hand but you quickly shook your head.
“If there is a single thought in your mind that I don’t want you to have that, then you’re mad.” You declare and he laughed in surprise, stepping away.
“Good. I was kind of getting used to it.” He smirked before his head tilted towards the doors you had pushed through earlier. His eye seemed to have caught something.
You glance back to see Steve talking with Dustin while holding two drinks in his hand. You smiled slightly at the sight. Steve tried his best to look interested but you could tell you needed to save him from one of Dustin’s rants.
“You seem happier.”
Eddie’s words brought you back to him. He lowered his head and you tried your best to smile.
“I suppose so.” You shrug, wrapping your arms around your torso for warmth since the cold was finally hitting you. “I guess I am. I finally got to reconnect with my best friend.”
He chuckles softly at your confession, looking back up to you as he scuffed his trainer against the concrete.
“I should probably let you get back inside. Hero-duties and all.” He smirked and your face lit up when he referenced one of your inside jokes.
“Thank you again.” You say, waving your hand currently holding the Walkman and trying to urge yourself to say what you really wanted. “I’ve missed… my Walkman.”
You mentally slap yourself.
“You’re welcome.” He nods shyly, turning around and stuffing his hands into his pockets.
You assume he’s finished the conversation and you regrettably walk back up the steps, reaching out for the door handle. It was going to be hard but you knew you had to move on.
“Hey, Y/n.” Eddie calls out and you whip your head back to him, mentally capturing a picture of the infamous grin laying on his lips. “Merry Christmas.”
“You too, Eds.” You smile, pulling open the door and finally stepping away from the past.
Tumblr media
“Okay.” You sigh, looking at the current display of the living room.
You and Steve had started on turning the living room into a movie room like you used to, setting up the spare mattress on the floor and positioning it against the couch so you had something to rest your backs on.
When it came to pillows and blankets, you had had just chaotically thrown them everywhere. You had both lost energy after the dance so the fact that you had set all of this up was a major achievement.
You place your hands on your hips, grateful to have changed into something comfier. “So now you just put the popcorn between us while I grab the drinks.”
“You may have to grab the popcorn.” Steve mumbles and you turn to see him holding an empty bowl, pieces of popcorn still shoved in his mouth.
“I-” You take a breath, walking over and grabbing the bowl from his hands, “I have no words.”
He laughs as you walk away to the kitchen, currently moving to put Monty Python into the TV while you sort out the snack situation.
You fill up the bowl, sliding the drinks over and moving to head out of the kitchen before you notice the empty pizza boxes laying by the back door from earlier.
Dumping the snacks back onto the counter, you grab the boxes and slip out of the back door.
As you walk towards the trash cans, a taunting shiver strikes your spine, goosebumps prickling your skin. Turning to the sky, you freeze in your place. A flash of red light revealed a shadow.
It went as quickly as it appeared yet you couldn’t take your eyes off the clouds.
“You should really rethink leaving this popcorn out in plain sight.” Steve chuckles as leans against the door, the bowl in his hands. He straightens as soon as you don’t respond. “You okay?”
He looks to the sky just as you are, frowning. “Did you see something?”
You finally tear your eyes away. “Um…”
“Y/n?”
Once the both of you made your way back inside, Steve insisted you tell him everything. Not because he wanted to know, but because he wanted to help you.
It didn’t take much for you to spill everything, to describe your nightmares, how you swore you could hear the demo-dogs. You finally told him about the black dust, how none of it made any sense.
“But if you knew about the black dust, why didn’t you say something?” Steve’s worried eyes stared into yours, the noise from the comedy on the tv long forgotten now, “You could have died when we-”
“I couldn’t risk it.” You whisper and turns his head. “Tell me you wouldn’t have done the same.”
“That’s different.” He sighs, shaking his head.
“How? How is that any different-”
“Because it’s you!” Steve cries, holding your arms, “You don’t deserve any of this, Y/n. You- you’ve never done anything wrong.”
You stay quiet, a tear finally dropping from your eye. You had decided a long time ago that you would never tell anyone about Lillian. They all thought too highly of you.
“Just-” He sighs again, running a hand through his hair. “Just let me know when one of these… visions or something show up again.”
When you don’t respond, he leans forward until your foreheads touch and the action makes you laugh.
“Swear it.” He says in a robotic voice, making you laugh harder.
“Okay, okay. I swear.” You giggle and he pulls you into a hug.
“Good.” His voice muffled into your hair before he finally lets go. “Now, I’m gonna make more popcorn.”
He stands up and you let out a gasp.
“How did you even finish it?” You were dumbstruck. You could have sworn he hadn’t laid a finger on the bowl since you came back inside.
“I work in mysterious ways.” Steve taunts as he disappears into the kitchen.
You shake your head in amusement, reaching to grab the controller. Your arm stiffens.
You���ve had a lot of cold shivers but this one was definitely the worst. As you struggled to move, a breath leaves your lips and fogs the air. You start to feel light-headed as you shook and you instantly fear what you might find when you turn your head.
When your eyes find your reflection in the TV, you go cold.
Your eyes are black.
“It’s not over yet, Y/n”

In your main verse, how do you envision Orel growing up? His family, his beliefs, stuff like that?
In your main verse, how do you envision Orel growing up? His family, his beliefs, stuff like that?
Okay so if I had to give some key notes this is going to be long and rambly, and feature talk of depression , death , terminal illness so please be careful going through ... starting from the end of the episode honor here you go ....
OFFICIALLY UNRELEASED CONTENT / END OF THE SHOW
talking about Grandpa Puppington / goth Orel / I mention terminal illness and death here so please skip over if needed !
Orel by the end of the show is 13 . It's not ever OFFICIALLY announced but we know from season 1 his birthday is after Halloween and before Christmas . He never fully recovers from being shot and as they said in the last episode he continues to limp even in deleted scripts that follow episodes that never made it because of the shows cancellation .
We know that in unreleased scripts he loses his grandfather on Easter after Clay basically condemns Orel's Grandpa to Orel's bed as a death bed when Arthur Puppington ( Orel's Grandpa ) comes to Clay seeking reconciliation as he is terminal .
Orel comes home to Arthur every night and tells him about his day , getting a new perspective on lessons , as we know , Orel usually mistakenly gets wrong/misguided by . Arthur is essentially a grounding perspective and helps Orel become a little more wary of what he trusts .
Orel at this time seems , at least in the scripts , to have not forgiven Clay but he's still caring about Clay , at least still showing that he has some respect and generally loves him as his father still . He prays to God for Clay and Arthur to reconcile in hopes that it would stop Clay from "getting any sadder " I quote he says " he can't afford to get any sadder " . Of course that never happens and they never reconcile .
After Orel loses Arthur , he becomes a Christian Goth for a while sort of not denouncing his faith but not fully committing to it either. He is essentially lost and he's in this state of grief for a few weeks until Reverend Putty can't stand seeing him like this anymore and snaps him out of it .
That's it for unreleased stuff really ... Here's where headcannons come into it .
HEADCANNONED STUFF !
Relationship to faith after Goth Orel tm ! Found family
Things don't necessarily go back to normal but Orel is now finding that returning back to focusing on his faith is actually helping him with the grief and loss . As my good friends @ rvrend and @ dollene have built up he comes to Reverend Putty more and more , finding that the good reverend is more like a father figure to him than Clay but not quite making that leap because of the views he was raised on that he must honour his biological father . Noellene too is far more motherly than Bloberta . She is more emotional unlike the emotionally withdrawn Bloberta .
Orel also is a far better brother to Shapey and Block , teaching them to do stop motion animation too and helping them get schooling by teaching them at home so they could enroll in a public school .
FAMILY / CHRISTINA AND DOUGHY
Eventually , in his late teens to early adulthood ,Orel finds an interest in architecture of religious buildings , something he could sculpt out of clay and design in other ways like he used in his stop-motion videos / my friend scribbs actually suggested this one . And of course all the while he and Christina are still very much sweethearts.
His relationship to Clay and Bloberta become estranged but he still invites them to important gatherings, probably had to kick Clay out of his and Christina's family home for being a violent drunk a few times . Clay and Bloberta are still stuck together ! Block and Shapey become a fireman and a police officer ! Orel and Christina of course get married and have a family of their own like in cannon.
Lastly , I will say Doughy , Orel always wanted to stay in touch and still be his best friend but I quite like the fan headcannon by the fandom that Doughy is incredibly jealous of Christina due to actually having a crush on Orel since childhood and maybe sadly he pushes Orel away .
Orel always keeps his faith .
OKAY so that was a lot but if you ever want to ask any more questions or for me to elaborate on anything let me know !
