fifth-absorbs-the-ninth!au from abigail's perspective as she slowly realises that a) the ninth is being run by half a dozen pensioners and a traumatised preteen; b) the only other preteen on the planet is apparently both their indentured servant (bad) and the first preteen's emotional support chew toy (bad??); c) the cavalier primary is a great poet and a terrible cavalier (sidenote: abigail would fucking LOVE ortus did you sEE her husband??!?!); d) this place is haunted as FUCK including by a vengeful milf; and e) these children need a parent ASAP
cut to abi and magnus trying to surreptitiously adopt the two most feral children they've ever seen without spooking them and also ortus

I'm back bitches, who's ready for more chaos
•─────✧─────•
Shane: Yeah, I don’t like people.
Marnie: Oh, well, now that’s not fair, Shane. Have you met all of them?
Shane, taking a swig of beer: I’ve met enough of them. Bunch of assholes.
─────────────────────
Pierre: Damn, the power went out.
Abigail: Don’t worry, I got this.
Abigail: *stomps foot*
Pierre: What the hell are you doing???
Abigail: *Sketchers light up*
─────────────────────
Marnie, to Lewis: I'll be under the mistletoe when you start feeling desperate!
─────────────────────
Sam: Remember that time you dared me to lick a swingset?
Sebastian: No, I said, "Sam, don't lick that swingset," and you said, "Don't tell me what to do," and licked the swingset.
Sam: Good times!
Sebastian: You were hospitalized for a week!!!
─────────────────────
Penny: Oh shoot!
Penny: Excuse my vulgarity.
Pam: I’ll let it slide.
─────────────────────
Shane: So my therapist was talking to me, and she said that I really just need to break down my walls and let people in.
Shane: So I’ve decided to break the fourth wall.
Shane: *looks at player through the screen* Hi there. I use humor as a coping mechanism. You also need a better coping mechanism than this game. It's been 13 hours.
─────────────────────
Farmer: I don’t want to talk about it.
Shane: Good, I don’t wanna hear about it.
─────────────────────
Sebastian: It’s impossible to make a sentence without using the letter A.
Maru: Despite your thinking, it is quite possible, yet difficult, to form one without the specific letter. Here’s one more to further disprove your theory.
Sam: Fuck you.
─────────────────────
Harvey: What happened to your nose?
Alex: I used it to break some guy's fist.
─────────────────────
Sam: Did you bring Harvey?
Sebastian, gesturing to Maru: No, but I brought the next best thing. She's still qualified.
Sam: Maru? The next best thing would be Farmer.
Maru: I would be offended, but Farmer is freakishly strong and smart.
─────────────────────
Sebastian: Dracula had it right, sleep all day, live alone in a castle, and explode into bats to get out of all social situations.
─────────────────────
Farmer in Skull Caverns: All of a sudden, I got a random burst of energy, and I think it's my body's last hurrah before it completely shuts down.
─────────────────────
Sebastian: When I first met you, I did not like you.
Maru: I'm aware of that.
Sebastian: But then you and I had some time together.
Maru: Uh-huh?
Sebastian: It did not get better.
─────────────────────
Haley: What’s up with Emily? They’ve been lying on the floor for like….an hour now?
Gus: They're just a little overwhelmed.
Haley: Why?
Gus: The Farmer gave her a new gem.
─────────────────────
Harvey: Anyone else feel good when their brain releases a bunch of endorphins?
Shane: Can't relate.
Sam: Why would my brain release a bunch of dolphins?
─────────────────────
Gus: One time I went to hand the Farmer a bowl of soup. I wanted to say “Careful, it’s hot!”, and “Here’s your soup!”, so instead I blurted out “Careful it’s soup.”
─────────────────────
Sam: Be right back, gonna hit the toilet for a quick power sob.

Don’t Starve Cast’s Stance on Cursing
Wilson: Never curses, insists he is “too gentlemanly”. Is the one to calmly say “language” every time someone curses.
(He does curse, just once. He is working on repairing a fence when he accidentally hits his thumb with the hammer. Thus occurs the famous “Wilson says fuck, the sound heard around the world”. It becomes a sort of joke/tradition among the entire group. “Where were you when Wilson said fuck?” “Happy one-year fuckiversery, Wilson.” He can never live it down.
Unfortunately, Webber was one of them not at camp at the time and as such, constantly pesters Wilson to recreate it. He does not.)
Willow: Every other word out of her mouth is a curse word. She calls every single person in camp “bitch” colloquially. Her cursing got so bad that Wickerbottom has an entire swear jar system with her just to get her to stop cursing in front of the kids. It does not work. When in front of the kids, her cursing is only rebuffed by Walter, who simply starts explaining to the other kids what curse words are and that they are adult words only.
Wolfgang: Covers his ears every time someone curses. He seems genuinely afraid of it for some reason, and literally nobody can understand why. His answer of “bad words” does not help anyone understand his apparent fear of cursing. Because of this, he hates interacting with Willow at all. She does not go easy on him. Poor Wolfgang
Wendy: While she shows no reaction to cursing, she is known for calmly walking up to random adults and asking what various curses mean, even if she should definitely know. You would think she does this just to get under their skin, but she notably avoids doing this to Wolfgang. In fact, her favorite target is Wilson, who simply gives blubbering half-answers. Abigail seems to enjoy this game quite a bit
WX-78: Actively teachers the kids swear words and heavily encourages their use, especially in front of Wilson and Wolfgang. Since Wurt, Wormwood, and Webber for some reason seem to have a deep fondness for them, this almost always works and they always get the last laugh. They themselves never curse outside of their lessons, but it can be noted that they keep flash cards and genuinely treat “curse words” as if it were a class. Wickerbottom keeps confiscating them and somehow, they always end up with new flashcards. How did they even get card paper in the Constant??
Wickerbottom: Does not swear on her own and remains silent about adults cursing, but the second any of the kids are around (or Wolfgang) she immediately shows her most terrifying librarian side. She has a paddle. Why does she have a paddle? She hasn’t used it on anyone yet but by damn is she willing to. Or at least, the others are pretty sure. Nobody knows for certain. She keeps a swear jar for Willow alone, but she has certainly tried with WX-78 before. It was not effective, as to be far, they did not do the cursing, and “teaching kids swears jar” doesn’t sound as good.
Woodie: Swear words simply remain out of his dictionary. He does not hate nor favor them, they simply are words that he does not use. Instead, it can be noted he replaces every curse word with random other phrases, though never directly addressing that a swear would normally go there. Nobody has ever heard him curse and they wonder if he’s even physically capable of it. (Maybe the Constant did something to remove his ability to swear? Nobody can just be that immune to swearing.)
Wes: …
Maxwell: Uses curses exclusively as insults, never in normal conversation. This may sound fine but you can only hear Maxwell say “fuck you” so many times in one day. Every other conversation with him involves insults. Luckily, the kids are all afraid of him so they tend to remain safe, but by golly is he not afraid to express his disdain for anyone and everyone by any (non-physical) means necessary.
(Actively celebrates Wilson’s fuckiversery like it’s a national holiday)
Wigfrid: Similar to Woodie, except she actually *does* seem physically incapable of cursing. Seriously, WX tried and it seems she physically cannot say English swears. She does have another choice of vocabulary though, and most of the group is sure that she is fully capable of and regularly swears… just not in English. Good for the kids. Hard for Wickerbottom’s attempts to cull swears
Webber: WX-78’s golden student. He does not seem to realize that swearing is not something 7 year olds are supposed to do. He doesn’t mean to say “bad words”, but when your teacher gives you an assignment, you do that assignment and you pass with flying colors. Therefore, he will not say curses on his own, but the second WX tells him do, you’d better believe he will do it. Wickerbottom has not punished him for it simply because she knows it’s WX’s doing and is trying to fight it at the source.
Wormwood: The opposite of Webber. They have been noted trying to say curse words but they never actually manage to say them. It’s more likely they run off in the middle of trying to say it than actually say it. The say Wormwood manages to squeak out a tiny “bitch” they were actively praised by WX for the first time ever. They have not managed to reach this high again, but it’s for the best.
Winona: Probably the most normal about cursing. She’s not overly explicit and not overly sensitive about it, simply uses swears as flavor words as most people do. She rolls her eyes every time Wilson tells her to not curse, but it’s always with a grin. She is very careful around the kids though. She’s got morals after all!
Warly: When Warly curses, it means war. Not just from Warly’s front, but everyone’s. If you somehow make the local chef angry enough to start swearing, by god you’d better prepare your vows because you have just incited the wrath of the swarm. Never make the man who cooks your food angry.
Wortox: While not as violent of a participant as WX, Wortox does love a good joke, and sometimes that joke requires convincing children to swear in front of the sensitive members of the group. Unlike WX, however, Wortox actually rewards both sides with candy and treats for following through. It’s a prank, not a cruel act.
Wurt: With her limited vocabulary, Wurt tends to learn words and then repeatedly say them around camp. This counts for all words she learns. Unfortunately, with bad influences, this means occasionally you have to deal with a little merm girl walking around mindlessly saying “ass” as she, unfortunately, carefully adds it to her knowledge of the English language. Nobody has the heart to tell her to stop, and she’ll have a new word the next day, so all you can do is wait and hope the next word is something nicer like “bumblebee”
Walter: Does not curse except for definition use. He repeatedly lectures the other kids about curses and how they are adult only words, and is fully willing to explain them and what they mean. You can also rely on him to know the original meaning of most of these words and how they should be used, although you probably shouldn’t say it still just because of ✨ societal norms ✨
Wanda: “Guys we’re all slowly dying and you’re concerned about the validity of *swearing*?
I rest my case

Note
as someone who only just finished gideon the ninth last sunday & finally understands the hype & hasn't finished the other books, PLEASE release the 11 pages of notes
Tumblr media
your wish is my command, here are my notes verbatim typed from my tiny notebook (typos notwithstanding. i fixed those so i don't look stupid)
ACT I
P. 29 - before the duel, Harrow presents herself “emptied like a quiver” prefiguring the necromancer/cavalier dynamic and the fact that they will grow to need each other. The king & lionheart of it all…
P. 54 - Gideon tells Harrow: “Your heart is a party for ten thousand nails.” and I SCREAMED 
P. 73: [paragraph describing Ianthe and Coronabeth in luxurious detail] “The boy just looked like a bit of a dick.” lesbianism
P. 76 - “He didn’t look healthy; he looked like a collection of lemons in a sack.” Why is this so evocative
SO funny that Harrow is like Griddle. You hog you need to do this correctly. Wear the damn face paint. And then it’s just a weird Ninth House thing. I love space Catholicism these bitches so deranged
Cannot read the “I pray the tomb stays locked forever. I pray the rock is never rolled away” prayer without it being to the tune of ‘No Children’
ACT II
P. 110 - “Coronabeth Tridentarius, Princess of Ida, took her hand and roguishly kissed the backs of Gideon’s knuckles.” I know there’s a whole essay on chivalry and gender on Tor but I guess I just want to say that there’s a really interesting subversion of the medieval lady/champion dynamic going on. Coronabeth kisses Gideon’s knuckles. Dulcinea has Gideon physically show off but Gideon, bound by her promise to Harrow, cannot talk and thus any typical structures for wooing are inverted. By her silence she is rendered as cool and unbreachable as a maiden in a tower
Something something Gideon’s physical body and her personhood always being someone else’s property.
All of Jeannemary’s dialogue with Magnus being parenthesized and in a smaller type is such a fun little touch
P. 125-6 - “[...] but she had fed her entire life into the meat grinder of hope.” Fuck me!
P. 128 - “She had never seen Harrowhark Nonagesimus’s naked face.” Harrow having to perform being Reverend Daughter not only her role but the entire house in the shape of a girl
[Angela Carter voice] a girl who is both death and the maiden
 P. 151 - “You could have died today.” "you could finish me right now, if you liked. You might even win."......hot.
Every single one of Gideon’s silly nicknames for Harrow is perfect.
P. 152 - “She smiled again–slower than before, just as terrible, just as strange.” Okay Galadriel
P. 161 has the first time Gideon calls Harrow by her first name. By the end of the act it will be three times. Harrow has yet to say hers.
“P. 163 - “You can control my body. You can read my thoughts.” I believe this is what the kids call foreshadowing for book 2
Also on that page: “But first, Griddle, I’m afraid I have to pass out.” I love her.
Verbatim annotation from p. 167: ‘SHE’S NEVER HAD A DESERT :(‘ 
I know that they’re not friends but [John Darnielle voice]: people say friends don’t destroy each other what do they know about friends
Ianthe’s “I don’t live alternative histories” god I am so excited for her to be awful
The dynamic kind of reminds me of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) which features a similarly nasty yet reliant dynamic but it ends Far Worse. Very much we need each other to be a cohesive whole but that doesn’t mean we have to be nice
IT WAS THEIR ANNIVERSARY!!! NO
ACT III
I will be surprised if Dulcinea survives and also does not end up being marginally evil.
Not to sound like it’s 2014 and I just discovered all-female casts but I’m really into both the 2nd and 9th being the only ones with both necro + cav being women. I know it’s a basic thing and that there isn’t
a ton about the Second House yet but having the representatives of “The Emperor’s Strength” both be girls…nice
Naberius die challenge!
P. 200 - “He wouldn’t have let anything happen to Abigail [...] She hated heights. She never would have risked falling.” I am howling like a shot wolf.
First of all, Gideon being affected by Magnus’s death because he was nice to her without any ulterior motives: OUCH. Second, “we are all the sons and daughters that the House of the Ninth possess.” The Twelfth Night of it all…the performance of it all. (“I am all the daughters of my father’s house and all the brothers too.” 2.4)
The Harrow who lives in my head has a mullet
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I EVER DESIRE YOUR JUICE
The First time Harrow calls Gideon by her name is p. 228
The choice of ‘spawned’ to refer to Harrow’s birth feels deliberate and I’m sure I’ll find out why later. Also the Scandalous Nudity being her face rather than her body when they’re both bare…it’s about living around and under the foot of someone your whole life but never being allowed to know them
P. 234 - Gideon can’t even say Harrow’s name aloud to anyone else…I wish to die! Swiftly!
P. 246 - Gideon has a hot bath for the first time (yay!) and wonders “whether water could get inside of you and make you sick.” God the Ninth House really is living in Vampire Times. Aristotle, you there?
The way all the different houses approach necromancy and the necro/cav dynamic is SO interesting! Cam’s line on p. 235 about the Eight “breed[ing] batteries” absolutely chilled me. Also the juxtaposition between the Eighth using cavaliers as an energy source vs Ianthe, absolute freak, taking a chunk out of Babs. The physical body vs the energy which propels it. Then contrasting that with pairs like Magnus & Abigail (rip) and Cam & Pal who mentally and emotionally rely on each other instead. It isn’t parasitic. KING AND LIONHEART! GO CRAZY AAH! GO STUPID AAH!
I am using all of my meager brain cells to formulate a thought about Camilla and Marta’s fight that isn’t just. wrow. women. OK. The description is short and brutal like the fight itself. The line about Cam fighting like a grease fire works so well my blood was in my EARS! When she dislocated Marta’s arm my own arm jerked back in shock. Fully almost yeeted the book
Yay for Pal also getting a hot moment. One man <3
“Harrow “rose to the occasion like an evening star”....DEATH FIRST TO VULTURES AND SCAVENGERS…I love her something awful. 
My highlighter ran out on p. 275 because I highlighted basically the whole page. The girls HUG!! Gideon lifts Harrow off the ground! Unsure if I should tag myself as ‘midnight hagette’ or Harrow’s utter lesbian brain death. At “It feels like forever” I genuinely screamed into my hands. God they’re it. THEY’RE IT.
P. 284 - “Gideon wanted her longsword and she wanted Harrow.” yeah me too
P. 285 - Jeannemary: “I hated [Isaac] when we were little, he wasn’t at all what I wanted.” ough the parallels
I know that naming a character ‘Isaac’ in your space opera about traumatized Catholics is sort of like naming a character ‘sacrifice’ and yet it’s still so gut wrenching! I love and I hate when characters fall victim to the prophecies within their names
Speaking of Biblical etymology, I see you Judith Deuteros. Please decapitate a dude
I knew about the Sex Pal joke and still guffawed
CHAPTERS 26-34
The description of Isaac’s body as a “broken sieve” really upset me and also harkens back to Harrow being empty as a quiver. The necromancer’s body as something which exists to be filled by energy and power, but also something so vulnerable as to demand the physical protection and occasional energy of its cavalier
P. 292 - “When [Dulcinea] breathed it sounded like custard sloshing around an air conditioner.” Absolutely Fucking Wretched!!!
P. 294 - “Mostly cancer and just a little bit of women.” each House really is fucked up in new and exciting ways
Gideon’s nightmare of finding Jeannemary’s severed limbs in her bed really kneecaps you. It’s giving Bluebeard. It’s giving Robber Bridegroom. It’s giving cavaliers as expendable physical forms, and that kind of body horror hasn’t quite been present aside from the avulsion room which wasn’t so bad
P. 331 - “What would you do if you discovered Camilla was a murderer?” "Help her bury the body." G O D
This entire page kills me. For some reason the one year difference and the choice to say “I’ve known her as long as she’s lived” like Harrow’s life is contingent on Gideon’s. One flesh one end B I T C H ! !
Also on that page: “She nearly killed me half a dozen times growing up, but I always knew why.” ok cool!
WAS NOT READY FOR THIS REVELATION???
I have run out of insightful commentary but Harrow wanting “prey, rival, and audience all wrapped up in one.” vs Gideon being “hungry for the Reverend Daughter’s preoccupation”. Don’t you think they’re the same thing? Love and attention? They’re both watching and being watched. Portrait of a Lady on Fire shit
I think Harrow and Cam should hold hands if only because they’d both hate it
Tamsyn loves a prophetic name. I thought she’d subverted it with Protisilaus but nope. Dead all along. First to die
Ianthe’s head pun…what is wrong with her
P. 352 - genuinely don’t have anything of substance to say about the pool scene but “I am exactly two hundred sons and daughters of my House, Griddle–I am the whole generation of the Ninth.” All this PLUS Harrow piloting her parents to keep the Ninth functioning. Christ.
P. 355 - “I am tired of being two hundred corpses.” ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch
Incredibly normal that Harrow’s parents were like hello our ten-year-old war crime daughter time for our group suicide! Here, I’ll tie your noose :) normal family!
I haven’t quite the familiarity with Antigone to say there’s an Antigone parallel somewhere but hmm
Cannot talk about the rest of this scene. I can barely look at it. YOU ARE MY ONLY FRIEND! I AM UNDONE WITHOUT YOU!! 
Oh to have your only friend Gideon Nav kiss you on the forehead
I love you 4’11” teenage saint war crime necrophiliac 
Gideon choosing to sleep in the cavalier bed. It’s about devotion as both a contract and an active choice. ‘I Will Follow You Into the Dark’ shit. I’m sick
P. 371 - “Dead as space, though accurately, that’s been true for a very, very long time.” I know this refers to Teacher but also stars themselves transmit light for millennia after they burn out. The cosmos itself as a haunted house
Why does the Emperor have a cohort anyway? What enemies are there that an army is necessary to grind children through? I need to know more about this
Cannot articulate this but Ianthe having to be a true necromancer and eating Babs to become a lyctor IS feminist not just because it’s such an overcome male power trip moment but also because it seems that In Media we can only have female villains if they’re tormented and redeemed by the end, they aren’t allowed to be deranged little freaks like this. She’s the damn joker!
REST IN PISS BABS. Again, genuinely progressive that Ianthe eats him and absorbs his perfect cavalier training; then, when she cannot keep it up she turns into a SKIN SHIELD?? [John Darnielle voice] come unhinged! Get revenge!
You’re really eased into the body horror and then Act IV is like hey kid you’re going to experience body horrors beyond your comprehension.
CHAPTERS 35-END 
Thinking about 8-year-old Palamedes writing to 15-year-old Dulcinea about how he’s determined to cure her. Also interesting to think that something so mundane as cancer still exists in this world where people are regularly getting bodied by skeletons
Oh, re: Pal, I forgot to highlight this but there’s a line a few (?) chapters back where he surveys his work and sees that it’s good which is directly from god creating the universe
P. 400 - “[Gideon’s] brain was full of sweet fuck all.” yeah girl me too
Every single man in this book has died. Feminism but also Palamedes my friend :(
“Tell Camilla–oh never mind, she knows what to do.” Doctor Who vibes (sorry) “If you see Rose, tell her…tell her…oh, she knows.”
P. 406 - “Camilla Hect off the leash was like light moving across water. She punched her knives into the Lyctor’s guard over and over and over. Cytherea met them ably, but such was Camilla’s speed and perfect hate that she could only hope to block the thunderstorm of blows; she could not even begin to push back against them.” The wording here feels so deliberately Homeric! It’s her aristeia!
It doesn’t mention this in the after matter, but I am choosing to believe Cam was named after Camilla in the Aeneid. She HAS to be!!
I understand why people scream at Marvel movies now but the more apt comparison for Gideon & her two-hander is the re-forging of Anduril. I can hear the score
P. 412 - “I need to be inside you.” NOW IS NOT THE TIME HARROW!!
P. 414 - “Did you behold me, Griddle?” she got yeeted by a vertebrae string because she was too busy beholding you, Harrow!
Rosary-whip made of knuckles. What a great time to be ex-Catholic. This is so hot of her
Camilla Hect aroace icon. Send tweet.
A climactic boss fight where all 5 characters are women…wrow
FUCK YEAH DISMEMBERMENT!!
P. 429 - “All you have to do is live.” Harrow begging Gideon to do the one thing she thought was impossible as a child
Oh these bitches in LOVE
I love “undeserved” forgiveness
[holds Harrowhark Nonagesimus] you do not have to be good you do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves
I’m sorry I have zero thoughts I’m just saying ROMANCE ROMANCE ROMANCE ROMANCE ROMANCE ROMANCE over and over and over again in my head
“First flower of my House” is the most romantic shit I’ve ever heard get it OUT of my face. That is not something you come up with on the spot…
The cruelest thing anyone has ever done to Harrow in her life is willingly die for her…
P. 436 - “They were cheek to cheek: Gideon’s arm and Harrow’s arm entwined, holding the sword aloft, letting the steel catch the light.” No THIS is the most romantic shit
Harrow/Pal lavender marriage of the century lmao
Gideon & Harrow 🤝 Gimli & Legolas
Quoting the verses of the Book of Ruth that’s commonly used at weddings
Hey at least I successfully guessed that Dulcinea would be evil & dead by the end. I love being right
IN SUMMARY: DEATH DYING SUFFERING ROMANCE PAIN

Tumblr media
once nathan takes a liking to you, he is super protective and will kill for you. a good example is when toki got bullied at band camp. he literally mutilated the bully's guitar playing hand. forcing him to never play again.
you'd think a giant metal man like him would be stinky. it's not the case. living with murderface and living in mordhaus, showers are an everyday thing.
how is his hair so god damn soft? he uses very expensive conditioner and he will gatekeep it until the end of time.
canon stated that the explosions didn't have much money growing up. his father spending clothes money on booze. nathan would get bullied for this growing up. which is why he was silent until he was five. nathan ended up finding out people would be scared to be mean to you if you use your fist to solve altercations.
after his class got massacred in front of him. nathan would go silent again for a few months. being pushed to speak again a few months later as he still was the class president . . . even though there was no class to be president of.
nathan's type in women are boss bitches. if they don't take any shit from anyone and will kick his ass . . . he's into it. ( just look at his dating history )
(i saw this on another tumblr user's hc post and i love it so i'm making it canon here. ) nathan's highschool sweetheart was highly against frog dissection. they broke up because they'd butt heads on the subject. it was nathan's best subject.
his relationship with his father is better than the other's in the band. it was a slow process, but at least he didn't watch him drown while he was dying from cancer . . . or tell him he belongs in a garbage can.
nathan's childhood home was small and was surrounded by florida swamp
as a past time, kid nathan would sit in a tree and watch the gators eat their pray.
eventually nathan does want someone to settle down with. he's the most interested in monogamous relationships in the band.
he's an anxious perfectionist. if things aren't 1000% the way he likes it, he will delete or start over. ( much to the annoyance of people around him. )
( bonus nsfw headcanon below since you got this far. ily. )
the first time he gave head was to abigail. after the situation on the sub, he grew to actually really like it. especially the praise he'd be given. that mouth can do more than brutal vocals. ( nathan explosion eats pussy, NOT CLICKBAIT!! )

After nearly high fiving a few… lucky fans, and nearly taking their arms with him, Bishop turns his attention to the ring. Coming out in just a T-shirt and shorts, we can see the edges of the tape wrapped around his arm poking out from under the fabric. Who knows what lasting damage Swerve could've caused….
“Joshua Bishop, it's been a long time, hasn't it?” Mox chuckles, eyeing him up and down, “Two years in fact. Two years since you've done what very few men have been able to do in the past five years of my career, and that's leave me lying in a pool of my own blood.” Mox stops, licking his lips, “but that's why I like you, Josh. You hit like a damn mack truck and you don't hesitate, so I want to help you.” Bishop raises an eyebrow, but let's Moxley continue.
“When Bryan Danielson and I started the Blackpool Combat Club, we did so to morph the students who could survive the training into real champions - into legends. You hit like a damn mac truck, and you don't hesitate. You are a born and bred machine, but what you're missing is that killer instinct - the focus. Because you've got two anchors tied to your ankles, pulling you back down,” Mox continues, “I get it, Wes and Blade are your friends, you're buddies. But the only thing they've ever done is get in your way. What you need is the guiding hand of the Blackpool Combat Club. It's Bryan Danielson in your ear every day, teaching you the ins and outs of this ring. Pushing your mind past its own limitations. It's Claudio Castagnoli hitting you as hard as you've ever been hit, and demanding you get the hell back up and fight! It's me and you, spilling our blood together from America to Japan, and every place in between. It's about world domination, boy - but I don't expect an answer tonight. I'm sure you don't want to disappoint your friends, all your precious little fans, on live TV like this.”
Mox turns to face Bishop, “but know this. If you say no, it's over. There will never be another chance to join the Blackpool Combat Club.”
Bishop raises his eyebrows, almost like he’s trying to stifle laughter, before he raises the mic up and looks Mox in his eyes. 
“You think I need you? You think I need you & your little crew to be relevant? Mox, you claim you’ve watched me, you claim you’ve had your eye on me… Apparently, you need a little refresher. I’m the Intense Icon. My first night here in MPW, I kicked the shit out of your former best friend, the Mad King, Eddie Kingston. On my second night here, I ripped the MPW Atlas Championship from Syn’s cold dead hands. I’ve beaten every single top guy MPW has ever put in front of me. I’m the only person on this roster that Abigail, the woman who calls herself the Devil, is afraid of. I ended The Dark Triad holding this company hostage. I am the ONLY two time MPW World Champion this company has ever produced. I’ve won the Chaos Cup, the most grueling tournament in Professional Wrestling. I’ve beaten a laundry list of wrestlers in the last three years that’s only on par with yours… Including you. I am the single most dominant wrestler in MPW history, so Mox, buddy. All due respect my man… You can take your little offer, and you can shove it up your ass.” 
Shaking his head, Moxley licks his lips, ““You just made a career ending mistake.”
“You know what happens now, Josh? I'm gonna put every ounce... every drop of sweat and effort and will I have into winning the MPW World Championship. And at the end of the night, you will look up into the lights with blood pouring down your head and pouring out of every inch of your skin. Covered in glass. Covered in barbed wire. Your neck broken. Your back broken. Your head broken, and that World Championship in MY hands. And you better believe that I'm going to beat you within an inch of your life to do it, because I am the BADDEST SON OF A BITCH IN THIS GAME! -”
As Moxley gets in Bishop's face, red faced and pissed off, Bishop drops the microphone, and the MPW World Championship belt, and starts trading right hands with Jon Moxley! Champion and challenger have broken out in a full out brawl! Here we go, we don’t have to wait until Darkness Falls, Moxley and Bishop are fighting here tonight!
From the back comes an outpouring of the rest of our referee crew, several members of MPW security, and after Josh Bishop and Jon Moxley knock them aside, and from there, to break up this fight, Paul Heyman calls out the big guns. Samoa Joe, locker room leader, flanked by many of the roster members here in MPW, many of them not even dressed to compete tonight, hit the ring, and have to force the two men apart! Half the roster grabs Bishop, the other half grabbing Mox, the two men still trying desperately to get at each other! 
A contingent of Brody King, Sam Halloway, Sardonyx, and Daniel Garcia manage to drag Mox through the ropes and get him out of the way, as Syn and backstage agent Jimmy Jacobs work hard to block any way Mox had of getting back into the ring. Josh still tries to fight out, but the group of Matsumoto, VIOLET, Joe himself, and Mance Warner have Bishop pinned in the corner. Joe shouts over and over “Josh, relax! Josh, relax!” Trying to get the MPW World Champion to calm down, as Pandemonium stands outside the ring, her face practically in her hands from the stress of the situation. She runs her hands through her hair, and even joins in, trying to help Joe by throwing in a “Josh, stop!” Loud enough so that he could hear her in the ring.
A locker room clearing brawl to start the show here tonight, perhaps of a taste of what was to come at Darkness Falls! The MPW Locker Room can’t stop these two from ripping each other apart at Darkness Falls, inside the Cage of Death!

Abigail Thorn Trans Pride London Speech Transcription
Hey y'all,
So recently I had an assignment for my English course that required me to rhetorically analyze a text of my choosing in an essay, and I chose Abigail Thorn's speech from Trans Pride 2021.
Since I could only find a video of it (here's the link if you haven't seen it yet, it's amazing btw) and I was tired of scrubbing through and re-listening to get pieces of textual evidence for my paper, I transcribed the speech myself for personal use. I couldn't find any other transcription which is why I resorted to transcribing myself in the first place, and because this is the case I thought "hey, other people might be looking for a transcription of this amazing speech" and I decided to post my transcription here for any and all to read!
Because I was transcribing off of a live video of the event, there are a few words here and there that are cut out simply because I couldn't hear and/or make out what Abigail was saying due to the noise of the crowd. Other than that, I'd say I did a pretty good job!
Parentheses with italics mark noises from the crowd and any pauses that I feel effectively contribute to the effect of Abigail's speech. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know!
The full transcription is under the cut:
Abigail Thorn Speech at Trans Pride London (Transcription)
[Brothers, sisters] and my nonbinary comrades! (crowd cheers) I am honored to speak at what is, in fact my very first pride. (crowd cheers) The organizers flatter me by assuming that I can tell you anything that you don’t already know, many of you are a lot wiser and more experienced than me. You have to excuse me if I speak plainly and to the purpose. I’m not an activist or a great leader or a great speaker, I’m just an actress, and the truth is that I’m scared to speak up at something like this because I don’t know if I’m going to have an acting career tomorrow if I tell the truth about what it is like to be trans in this country! (crowd cheers) ‘Cause the truth is—and you don’t need me to tell you—it’s pretty hard, and that’s not ‘cause of “toxic debates,” it’s not ‘cause of social media, and it’s sure as fuck isn’t because of “cancel culture!” It’s because, legally and politically, we are not allowed to control our own lives! (crowd cheers)
There is a word about how that makes me feel. The word is humiliated. When my doctor refuses to treat me and makes me use a segregated healthcare system, I am humiliated. When I am forced to beg and scrape for permission to get married from the government’s Gender Recognition Panel, I am humiliated! When I am thrown to the concrete by an officer of the Metropolitan Police for daring to protest the government that inflicts these indignities—and that officer was wearing a rainbow pride badge (crowd boos and jeers)— I am humiliated! It is the feeling that control over your life has been taken away from you, and you do not need me to tell you, we are not the only people in this country that feel that way. (Abby pauses, crowd cheers)
But…but there is something else, isn’t there? There is something else that has brought all of us here today. Despite the difficulties that cis people inflict on us, I don’t think that being trans is a burden. I don’t think that being trans is a curse. I think it is a gift. (Abby pauses, crowd cheers). There is POWER in this! To take control of your life, to reach down into your own cells and take possession of them, to name yourself! To take your destiny by the scruff of the neck and say “no, god damn it! […] This is my life and I will be the mistress of it!”
I remember the first day when I realized who and what I am. I remember that feeling like the clouds had parted and the hand of God had come down, a feeling that no doubt many of you have shared. Since that day I have felt electricity in my blood! (crowd cheers) […] POWER in my heart! I have felt the passion, a passion that outburns the sun! It is the desire to live! It is the desire to take control! I look at these faces now and I don’t see humiliated victims or timid creatures. I see lions, I see tigers, I see the real kings and queens of this country! I see the hope in a hopeless country! I see the harbingers of a new world that struggles to be born and is proud to come out fighting!
The Women and Equalities minister, Liz Truss (Abby pauses, crowd jeers), she says that she wants trans people to live in dignity. (Abby pauses, crowd chants “Fuck that bitch!”) Babes, I got dignity coming out of my ass. (crowd cheers) I don’t want pity, I don’t want condescension or charity, I don’t even want “visibility and representation.” I want control over my own goddamn life! (crowd cheers) That is an ambition that is worth being PROUD of! That is why we say TRANS POWER! (“Trans power!”) TRANS POWER! (“Trans power!”) TRANS POWER! (“Trans power!”) (crowd cheers)

abigail ; spencer reid
pairing: spencer reid (criminal minds) x you
summary: you help spencer with a girl issue and he makes a realisation. 1028 words
a/n: if your name is abigail i apologise im sure you’re lovely 
It had been quiet for the past hour, both you and Spencer silently brainstorming and reviewing evidence again and again to find something – anything to make some advancement on your current case while the other BAU members were busy interviewing or, in Garcia’s case, doing some digging on everyone involved.
Spencer was twirling a pen in his fingers, staring off into space. You assumed his genius brain was working a thousand miles a minute, as it tends to do, and so thought nothing of it. That was until he opened his mouth.
“Do you think something’s wrong with me?”
Instinctively, you reply with a teasing, “I think there’s a lot of things wrong with you, Dr Reid.”
When you glance up from some crime scene photos to Spencer, you realise there is something wrong. He’s burning a hole into the ground, eyebrows furrowed, and when he faces you he’s pouting slightly. His brown eyes, usually thriving and bright at this time, seem closed off – slightly glazed? – and you realise that he hasn’t been paying attention to any of the folders full of information surrounding him. He hasn’t been doing his job, which he’s good at and loves doing, so yes, something is wrong with him.
So you take a seat next to him and gently ask, “What’s wrong?”
With a quick look over his shoulder, probably checking for Morgan, he sighs, “Abigail dumped me.”
You’re visibly taken aback, eyebrows shooting up in surprise, but compose yourself quickly, “You were officially together?”
Abigail is a nice girl. Spencer met her in a book shop, of course, and she took the initiative to ask him for his number instead of waiting to see if he liked her back – which is what you’re doing, waiting for him. It hasn’t worked out in your favour, seeing as he apparently had a girlfriend less than twenty four hours ago, but you don’t have Abigail’s confidence.
The team met her, once, when she surprised Spencer at work – he had been completely caught off guard and flustered, but she was friendly enough. Garcia did some digging and she’s a normal, average girl, so no matter how jealous you felt when you thought about her, or when you’d hear Spencer’s phone go off and just know it was her, you didn’t say anything. You couldn’t, unless you wanted to expose yourself.
But now..
“Not really. I think we were getting there, but..” He bites his lip in contemplation, “She said the job was too much. Too time consuming, too depressing, too annoying.”
He spits the last word out and you stare at him, “Annoying?”
“She called me annoying. Am I annoying? Well, I know I am but.. if I have a girlfriend she shouldn’t think I am, right? Is that too much to ask for?” He’s getting flustered and, in shock, you realise you might be about to see angry Spencer Reid.
“No.” You interrupt.
“No what?”
“You are not annoying and you are definitely not asking for too much for wanting a girlfriend that doesn’t find you annoying,” You laugh in disbelief, “She called you annoying?!”
Spencer nods solemnly, “Yeah, she said my tangents were too much. She said if she wanted to know everything about everything, she’d google it. She also said something about how know-it-alls are the worst and-“
“That bitch.”
Spencer jolts at the ferocity of your words. You look at him, your mouth agape as you realise you said that aloud.
“I’m sorry, Spence, I didn’t mean-“
He begins to laugh, and you relax. You gaze at him while he chuckles and wonder how Abigail could give up such a beautiful person. She had the most perfect man in the palm of her hands, ready and willing to give her his heart, and she threw it all away. Not only that – she insulted him. Insulted his rambling, which you will defend until the day you die, and called him the worst, which you know will play on his mind for years to come. Because he’s sensitive and someone he had come to trust knew exactly what button to press to hurt him and she did it.
Now you don’t feel bad for calling her a bitch.
“She’s wrong, by the way,” You say softly, “About all of that. Your ‘tangents’ are incredible, Spence. I tell you that every damn day because it’s true, and I’ve never lied to you, have I?” You look at him and wait for him to shake his head like a child would, “Exactly. The fact I can walk to your desk, ask the most random question and get a real answer is fucking awesome, Spence! Do you realise that? You’re a goddamn genius! A sweet, genuine, funny, informative genius whose job is to save lives. This job isn’t something to take lightly, and if she can’t handle that, it’s good she’s gone.”
Spencer’s smiling now and you’re glad that, at least, you’ve given him a confidence boost.
“You deserve the best and the best only.” You mumble. You wish you could add on and I am that for you, but you don’t have the confidence, or the honest belief that it’s true, and it’s gut-wrenching.
“You deserve that too, Y/N.” He has the warmest, most endearing look in his eyes – the room’s lights reflect perfectly in them and you wonder if he can feel the love you have for him pouring out of you.
Your eyes lock for what feels like forever. You think you see Spencer move closer, just slightly, and you wish you knew what was going on in his head. Is he about to kiss you? No, he can’t be. Can he please be about to kiss you?
“Y/N-“
The door slams open and Rossi comes in, almost out of breath.
“Hotch needs you, Y/N. Now.”
Without a word, or a glance back to Spencer, you stand up and leave the room. Spencer’s eyes follow you, and Rossi notices the realisation in Spencer’s face and grins.
“Just figured it out, huh?” Rossi asks.
Spencer licks his lips and looks up and him, stars in his eyes, “I think I might be in love.”

Every line with Javier in RDR 1
I transcribed every line from RDR 1 between Javier and John whether you take him in dead or alive. I could try to do a seperate post with what the people of Mexico say about him, but there are only small mentions and they are very easy to miss. One of them is about Javier seeing his Uncle and his sister’s goat farm. The other is about him being a lone wolf.  Funny enough, John brings up how one of the only words he knows in Spanish is Puto, but he only knows it because Javier always called him it.  I can MAYBE  do every time John mentions the gang at some point. 
(After Chasing Javier) John: Hello, old friend. It’s been long time. Javier: Hello, brother. It’s good to see you. I heard you was coming. Took your time, no? Come on, you’re not going to shoot your own brother, are you? We was family
John: Yeah, we were. Then you and Dutch went crazy and family didn’t mean so much.
Javier: So now you do the government’s work? John: And what do you do? You just work for a different government. (Note: Javier works for the dictator Allenede as one of his bounty hunters. Bill is hiding in his fort.)
*Tommy Wiseau laugh.*
Javier: Come on, brother, I think we should go our separate ways.
John: What you and Dutch did was wrong. And the way you left me was wrong. Now I ain’t the judge, but as it turns out, it’s either you or me. The way I see it, It may we as well be you.
Javier: We thought you was dead, Brother. I promise, I’m telling you the truth. Besides, I can give you Bill. And Dutch? He’s in Columbia. I can take you straight to him.
(No. Dutch is hiding out by the Talls Trees and the mountain there by John’s house. He’s dangerously close to John. Bill is hiding out in the next town in Mexico.) John: You left me to die to save your own skin!  And now you expect me to care about you?
Javier: You’ve got it wrong brother. I’ve always loved you, even now.
Javier then knocks crates over to crawl out of the window.
Javier: Go back to your farm, John!
If you chose to take Javier in alive. John: It’s over old friend. I got you now. I’m taking you in now, my brother. I’ll let the others judge you. Now where’s Bill? Javier: I don’t know.
John: Where’s Bill, you son of a bitch! Do you think I won’t kill you?
Javier: He ain’t here, brother. He’s with Allende. It’s a little late for revenge, John.
John: I ain’t here to kill you, Javier. This is just business. You’re going to be locked up for a hell of a long time, unless they hang you.
Javier: Come on, Amigo! Abigail wouldn’t want this! John: Abigail would have killed you already. She always thought you was a creep.
Javier: We was family you and me!
John: Yeah, like Cain and Abel leaving each other for dead. That life we lived is over and when we was living it, it didn’t mean nothing an way. It was just an excuse and we all knew it.
Javier: I sure do hope you know what you’re doing, brother. You sold me out. Didn’t that life we had mean nothing to you? You, puto! One day, I promise you, you’re gonna  regret this
John: One day is about all you have left.
Javier: I hope you, and your wife and children rot in hell.
John: You know, that life we lived is over. And when we was livin’ it. It didn’t mean nothing anyway. It was just an excuse and we all knew.
Javier: What I knew is that you were always a puto and you’re still a puto. Yeah. Go with your puto! (in response to the rebel leader telling John to follow him)
Later at the border: Reyes - the leader who helps you but is also a dick -
Reyes: Two old friends reunited! It’s a beautiful thing.
Edgar Ross and Archer Fordham, are waiting for John on the other side because they can’t legally go to Mexico. Ross: Mr. Marston! Fancy seeing you down here. I must say it’s a pleasant surprise to see you. (Again - Ross expected John to die ages ago)
Archer: You’ve done well, Mr. Marston. Now, Javier here gets to see how far the hand of justice can reach. *Grabs Javier* Get in the damn vehicle! John: Can we assume one of my commitments is cleared?
Archer: Unfortunately, nothing is clear John until all your obligations are met. We need you to find Williamson and then head to Blackwater as quick as you can. We have reason to believe Dutch van der Linde is in the area.  
(Note: Dutch has always been in the area - at least from 1907. This means Dutch, Javier and Bill were either spying on him and or keeping in contact because they know about the Marston baby.)
Ross: Oh, and your wife sends her regards.
(Note: John has no idea if Ross is telling the truth about Abigail. He has no idea whether Abigail and Jack are still alive and Ross tells him this later.)
If Javier is killed by John:
John carries Javier’s body and places it in the cell. John wipes tears from his eyes before spitting on the body.
Reyes still says his line about friends being reunited. Edgar Ross and Archer’s dialogue are the same here EXCEPT:
Archer: He’s not looking very healthy...I told you to keep them alive!
John: You should be glad to have him at all.
Archer: Just remember your obligations to the government.
Final note: I can try to do Dutch’s cut scenes and Bills. Also, despite grammar not being John’s greatest strength, he is so eloquent and poetic in his language.

Rating Every Song on Fearless Based on How Gay it is
Hello friends! I still have a few song analyses in the pipeline (and one on Lover the album) but today in honor of Fearless (Taylor’s Edition) being announced and Love Story being released in a few hours I thought I’d do something fun to celebrate!
And you know what? Fuck my usual disclaimer, I am the word of god here. Try and change my mind about any of these. I dare you. (I kid I kid this isn’t that serious and you’re free to disagree <3)
1. Fearless 15/10
Everything about this song is so fucking gay oh my god. This isn’t a fruit, this is a whole ass edible arrangement. As a small rural town Gay (my hometown has a population of less that 4,000 and where I’m living now has a population of 2,500) this uh. Hits.
“And I don't know how it gets better than this/You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless”
Y’ALL
The idea of falling in love with someone who makes you less afraid of your homophobic small town…….it’s getting to me.
“My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but/You pull me in and I'm a little more brave/It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something/It's fearless”
This is making me emotional, I'll be honest. I see so much of my friends and my experience in high school in this song. 
This quote I found on genius is from when the album was released on BMR’s website.
“When I wrote ‘Fearless,’ I wasn’t dating anyone. I wasn’t even in the beginning stages of dating anybody. I really was all by myself out on tour and I got this idea for a song about the best first date. I think sometimes when you’re writing love songs, you don’t write them about what you’re going through at the moment, you write about what you wish you had. So, this song is about the best first date I haven’t had yet.”
This just screams baby Tay writing gay folklore to me, about the gay stories she wish she had. Notice how there are no pronouns in this song??? Fruity I’m telling you.
All that to say. I’m crying because the linear note says “I loved you before I met you” and I want to go listen to Long Story Short and cry now.
2. Fifteen 1/10
Objectively pretty straight as she’s singing about her and Abigail’s dating boys in HS. And Taylor got with a senior guy. Good for her I suppose.
Unless he was one of the shitty ones in which case.
“This is life before you know who you're gonna be”
This however, is a cute line and the whole song makes me warm and nostalgic. You can also hear her crying after the line “and Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind” which makes me emo and I’m sure will take on new depth after Abigail’s divorce and hurt me even more.
Other highlights that make me sob include.
“When all you wanted was to be wanted/Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now/Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday/But I realized some bigger dreams of mine”
Bigger dreams of hers indeed :’)
(Also how can you say she’s a gold star lesbian when this song exists. She was obviously dating boys in high school and even if you think she’s a lesbian. Comp het is a hell of a drug kids.)
3. Love Story 8/10
Tried to change the ending indeed.
This is THE Taylor Swift song, and maybe it’s the nostalgia talking but damn I still love it. Written because she wanted to change the ending of Romeo and Juliet (how anyone likes RandJ enough to want to rewrite I have no clue.) and/or because her parents didn’t approve of a guy she was seeing. (according to genius, it would’ve been too early for Joe J so it could possibly be Boys Like Girls frontman, his image did clash with hers and they did release some cute songs together. However if you want my take it’s probably folklore about Emily, take for what you will)
This song has very oft gay vibes with the ‘They don’t approve of our love angle!’ but uses male pronouns so points redacted for that. HOWEVER this is a very early use of ~the male perspective~ in Taylor’s songs and for that it deserves all the love.
“ So I sneak out to the garden to see you/We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew/So close your eyes/Escape this town for a little while”
More rural town angst!!!
Nothing gets me more than rural town angst.
“Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel/This love is difficult, but it's real”
Originally the lyric was “this love is different”. Granted I do not remember the source, i’s just lore implanted into my brain, but make of that what you will.
“"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone/I love you, and that's all I really know/I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress/It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"”
Marry me Juliet from the male perspective :)
Also worth noting. This is Karlie’s (and Kim K’s lmao) favorite Taylor song which. While basic as hell. Makes this cover sad as hell to this former Kaylor. (thanks @swiftgron-get-married for the tears <3)
Also not to make this about a man AGAIN but the secret message is “Some day I’ll find this” AND SHE DID IM CRYING.
4. Hey Stephen 1/10
The one thing Camilla Cabello and I have in common is loving this song, so I have to live with that for the rest of my life.
This song is very painfully straight.
How can you think this woman is a gold star lesbian.
The only noteworthy thing is that this is one of the few songs she confirms who it’s about. The secret message is “Love and Theft” which is the name of a country music duo who went on to open her Fearless tour. Which, does make me side eye this song a little bit.
Still a cute song.
“Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing/I don't always have to be alone”
5. White Horse 1/10
Oh look. It’s track five. 
You know maybe this is just me being a bitch but in my ranking of track fives this is. Pretty low. Maybe on the bottom.
Like I don’t have a lot to say about it. 
She’s going through it over a guy. He was a cheating dickweazel. 
“'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale/I'm gonna find someone someday/Who might actually treat me well”
“Try and catch me now, oh/It's too late/To catch me now”
These lines hit though!!
And she found Joe!! Who treats her well!!!! And she isn’t the princess, she’s the prince who dropped her sword and knocked on her door!!! But this time if they come for them she’s ready!!!
Yes I will make every song about Long Story Short <3
6. You Belong With Me 5/10
Ah yes. The other THE Taylor Swift song.
You know. If I went to a high school with a cheerleading squad. And I had a crush on a cheerleader. I would blast this song. So for that it gets a 5/10. Otherwise. Fairly straight and fairly iconic.
7. Breathe 8/10
Well. We know this one is about a woman. (Emily Poe for those not in the know. Ha. A rhyme!) That alone has an 8/10. And it’s the first time she has a featured artist so bonus points for that!
It was nominated for a Grammy and it fucking lost to Jason Mraz. When’s the last time you thought about Jason Mraz.
I will not have Kaylor feels on a fucking Fearless song but damn is it VERY easy.
“Never a clean break, no one here to save me/You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand”
“It's 2 A.M, feeling like I just lost a friend/Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me”
Also this bridge? Goes off. HIGHLY underrated. 
8. Tell Me Why 3/10
You know. Maybe this album isn’t as gay as I once thought.
This song does bop though, not as good as her other angry songs on this album. But I can vibe with this you know. Why are you being an asshole mysterious man.
“You could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day”
This has to be one of baby Tay’s best burns. Damn. 
“Why do you have to make me feel small/So you can feel whole inside?/Why do you have to put down my dreams/So you're the only thing on my mind?”
Men ain’t shit kids. However, bonus points for the shade. 
9. You’re not Sorry 1/10
Ok, ok. Maybe this was a foolish endeavor.
Because yet again we have a very straight song. A good song. That was on Taylor’s episode of CSI. But oh dear. Very straight. Gets a measly one point. We started this post off so very very gay but damn. We seem to be nearing the end on a very straight note.
10. The Way I Loved You 20/10
Hey Remember what I said about this album being very straight.
WELL THAT WAS A LIE.
Is this a comphet album or am I projecting.
This is one of my favorite baby gay Taylor songs. Her masterful use of pronouns (he is sensible! And so incredible! And all my single friends are jealous! But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain, when it was two am and I was cursing your name!) makes the other person she’s singing about completely vague, while we know she isn’t happy with whichever guy she’s dating.
Mayhaps an early reaction to PRomances?
Either way this song is so good, truly an underrated gay gem I mean. Look at it.
“Breaking down and coming undone/It's a roller coaster kind of rush/And I never knew I could feel that much/And that's the way I loved you”
AND THE BRIDGE. Do all of her gay songs just have kickass bridges?
“He can't see the smile I'm faking/And my heart's not breaking/'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all/And you were wild and crazy/Just so frustrating/Intoxicating, complicated/Got away by some mistake and now…”
Damn. I’m imaging this with 2020 vocals and fucking ascending.
Also please watch the live performance of it from the Fearless tour. It’s such a damn shame this got cut from the movie and some woman in the front row is wearing a cowboy hat. Everyone is holding up those cameras everyone had to have before smartphones. Taylor is being endearing. It’s a good time.
11. Forever and Always 6/10
Bonus points for the ~drama~ of it all. Added last minute to the album? The iconic throwing of the chair in live performances?? All of it very dramatique and for that we stan.
Still pretty straight.
Also Joe Jonas responded to the song and why do I find his response so damn funny. “It’s part of being a musician, I guess. You write songs about each other.”
This is another song where the idea of Taylor’s grown up vocals on this is………..whew
12. The Best Day 0/10
This gets zero points because it’s about her literal mom.
Still makes me cry.
God bless Andrea Swift indeed
13. Change 13/10
We start the official tracklist with a gay song. We end it with a gay song.
We will ignore that it was originally written for Scott and BMR and instead induct it into the hall of gay pride anthems, as it should be. 
“We're getting stronger now, finding things they never found/They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared/You can walk away, say we don't need this/But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this”
“This revolution, the time will come/For us to finally win/And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah”
The music video is cringe though lol
14. Jump then Fall 10/10
This song is gay because I choose it to be. <3
Like. Picture baby Taylor writing this song and playing it on her guitar to a girl she has a crush on telling her that she’ll protect her and they’ll be safe and in love and happy together. Gah, maybe I’m ~projecting~ but this sweet ass song always gets me and is EASILY in my top five Taylor songs. Super underrated and hecking cute. 
“We're on the phone and without a warning/I realize your laugh is the best sound/I have ever heard”
Like. Look at this shit.
“I watch you talk, you didn't notice/I hear the words but all I can think is/We should be together”
Tell me this is about the first time you get a crush on a girl and she’s your best friend and she’s amazing and beautiful and you realize you kinda want to kiss her and you hope she wants to kiss you too.
“I had time to think it oh, over/And all I can say is come closer/Take a deep breath and jump then fall into me”
And she’s the Romeo who's going to protect her!!!!! She’s the knight in shining armor in this song and I love that for her??
“The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet/I'll catch you, I'll catch you/When people say things that bring you to your knees/I'll catch you/The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry/But I'll hold you through the night until you smile”
I won’t divulge into full on analysis here because. This is what this post is about but PLEASE listen to this song more. It’s such a gay little gem.
15. Untouchable 9/10
How does she make a cover sound gay.
It sounds so gay.
“You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together/Come on, come on, little taste of heaven”
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
16. Forever and Always Piano Version 1/10
This song gets 1/10 because I don’t like it. There. I said it.
17. Come in With the Rain 3/10
I can see why this is a bonus track. It doesn’t hit me as much as the other songs on the album.
But damn if I don’t want to scream sing this one driving down a high way.
18. Superstar 7/10
You can’t tell me this song is about a man. I simply won’t entertain the idea.
You cannot prove to me that this song is about a man. There is not a male pronoun in sight. 
>:)
19. The Other Side of the Door 6/10
Is this song about having a fight about being in the closet? Probably not. Will my gay little brain make it about that? Yep!
And that, funky little queer pals, is my gay rating of every Fearless song. Like and subscribe, #t3atmidnight

vi. ditmas & devil’s backbone
Part of the Devil’s Backbone project - Masterlist - redrafted on ao3
Notes: as I mentioned, this whole project began because I didn’t like how unhealthy Abigail and John’s relationship is in RDR2. There is a second unhealthy relationship I feel isn’t dealt with in game... I like slapping people in the face with the truth and this bitch really needed a wake up call
BTW, I should mention that whilst I do not expect any takers, if there is something else you want to see in this project, I’m open to requests :)
**
There’s whispering behind the door. Arthur makes a harsh remark-
“He’s not my son.” More murmuring. “It don’t matter - he ain’t mine.
“Naw, you had your chance, Mary. Quit it - you were married, you could’ve had children. Don’t pretend like you didn’t for my sake.” A pause. “Why? ‘Cause the way you left me was that it was the end. Either you’re lyin’ right now or you were playin’ me.” Another silence. “You can’t honestly think I waited. I’ve had a son, Mary. Isaac was born and buried whilst you was off pretendin’ I didn’t exist. No, o’course I didn’t love her the way I loved you, but you didn’t exactly give me a choice-
“You have to be kiddin’ me right now - you were married. You went and married someone else - what did you think I was gonna do? Wait? For what?
“He ain’t my son!” he bellows. “Even if he was, you think I’m gonna take him from his mother? Where’ve you been all this time? I can’t believe you’re askin’ me this.
“Well, you was wrong.” A silence spreads, thick and unforgiving. “Even if Jack were mine, Abigail’s alive and well - you ain’t gonna be his mother. You can’t come in and cherry pick the boy because it suits whatever damn fancy has taken you."
A sob breaks through, but Arthur is firm. “I ain’t goin’ to be that man, Mary. I’ve spent my life loving you, but if you think I’ll take a boy from his mother for us, then we ain’t ever going to work. He had a father, an’ he was as good for him as we are for each other. I ain’t shiftin’.”
“If you cared-!”
“If you gave a damn, we wouldn’t be in this mess! I could understand if you had been there for him, but you were elsewhere when this boy was born. I ain’t even entertainin’ the idea, Mary. I ain’t.” 
“You would give us up?”
“With you bein’ so unreasonable?" He heaves a heavy sigh. "This ranch belongs to Abigail and Jack. Jack belongs to Abigail. You wanted us to run, but now we don’t gotta - say the word and we can walk outta here. I ain’t a fool - I know the law’s gonna come for me one day, but if it’s tomorrow or ten years from now, I’m willin’ to give you everything to my dyin’ day. I will give you every last breath in my body, but I won’t uproot their lives for you. They’ve been through too much.”
She mumbles something about wanting to be a mother.
“Is that it? There’s kids out there tha’ need a home still - orphans and the like. We can take one in-”
She must roll her eyes because his tone lowers, teetering dangerously.
“You’re forgettin’ I was one of ‘em. If it weren’t for Dutch and Hosea-” The roar rips through the thin walls. “They were better to me than my own father! They would have taken you in as well, despite your spoiled attitude but of course Daddy didn’t like me-”
“Daddy is dead!”
“And so is Hosea!” There’s a thump. “So is my mother and father, but you don’t see me cryin’ about it! Naw, you come in here and want to make another boy an orphan, take him from his mother so you can play house!”
“I want a family for us, Arthur!”
“Then why did you wait ‘til you promised your hand to another man?” A pause. “Yeah, I know about it. I knew ‘bout your daddy too. I’ve made enough excuses for you over the years, Mary Gillis, but I still had faith.” A bitter scoff. “I’m a fool when it comes to faith. I put it in all the wrong places, and when it comes down to it, it’s worthless. Ain’t worth a penny.”
“Arthur, you need to rest. You’re getting yourself all worked up over nothing-”
“Ain’t nothin’, Mary.” They must be looking each other in the eye, speaking silently. “I spent years tryin’ to get where I am, and I’m still not good enough. I could be the king of England and you would find fault in me. I give up.”
“Arthur-!”
“I give up, Mary. I- I give up.” The bed creaks as he lowers his weight, his face burying itself into his hands. “I hate how much I loved you. I’m still the man you met all them years ago and… I can’t pretend I’m somethin’ I’m not. Not anymore. If you really loved me, you wouldn’t have so many excuses up your sleeve."
"Arthur-"
"You were the only one. You were the only one for so long and I’ve lost so much waitin’. I’m startin’ to wonder if you would ever looked twice without money in my pocket.”
“Arthur, please-”
“No, Mary.” His voice is low, barely more than a whisper. "I'm too old. We're too old to keep messin' like this."
"I'll leave him!"
"Naw, you won't." He sniffs loudly. "An' you shouldn't. You've had me for a fool for many a year an'- an' losin' you… losing you weren't even the worst part. Hosea... Isaac… Lenny, Sean, Eliza! Hell, watchin' Dutch lose his head? Tryna pick up the pieces after we lost Marston? All of tha' still hurts a lot more than you choosing your daddy over me. It hurt more then and it hurts more now!"
"Arthur, please! Don't say what you can't take back!"
"Why not? After everything you put me through, why is me tellin' you the truth of the situation too much?"
"Because I know you don't mean it!"
"Oh, but I do mean it, Mrs Linton. I do." A prolonged silence is broken only by the woman's sobs. She must try to move closer because Arthur breathes out heavily. "Naw, that ain't a good idea. I… I'll fetch Ms Roberts. She can help you clean up an'- an' get ready for your journey."
Abigail barely scrambles away from the doorway in time before it is wrenched open, a sobbing Mary Linton reaching for him. "Arthur!"
"Mary! I can't keep doing this! I can't!" The door closed again, muddling the sound. Abigail creeps forward, peeking through the gap of the door.
He is kneeling with her on the floor, cradling her face in his hands as her fingers brush his leg.
"I knew the moment I laid eyes on you that your image was going to be burned on the inside of my eyelids. I've thought about you every minute of every day since that moment, and I know it ain't gonna just go away. But we-" He lifts her hand and holds it against his chest, pressing her palm against his ribs to feel his heart. "We ain't gonna make it. We was never gonna make it."
"Arthur-!"
"It doesn't matter whether I got dragged to Guarma. We was over years ago. I… I can't trust you to love me the way you say you will after what happened with your daddy. I can't."
"But Daddy-!"
"I know, Mary. I know, but my life here with Abigail and Jack? That's what's keepin' me goin' now. Every time I hold you I can feel myself gettin' angry at all the lost time, an' it ain't worth it no more. You will always mean everything to me but what we had is in the past now. I can't keep playing this game. I won't."
*
He seems surprised to find her so nearby and clears his throat, obviously uncomfortable at the thought of being overheard. "Would you mind helping Mrs Linton? She's going to be leaving us tomorrow an' well…"
He trails off with a sigh. His bloodshot eyes are all the more blue as he stares into the embers of the fireplace.
"Of course, Arthur." She touches her fingertips to his arm in condolence and is surprised when he clasps her hand, eyes still staring blankly.
"I'm gonna go for a ride with Gwyn. Think you'll be alrigh'?"
Her breath catches as he meets her gaze. "Of course. Take as long as you need."
He nods, patting her hand as he turns his head back to the fading light of the logs. Abigail stands up straighter and retraces his steps into Jack's bedroom.
The usually so gracious woman is crumpled on the floor sobbing into the mattress. As Abigail steps forward to help her up, the door slams shut, causing her to flinch and sob all the harder.
"C'mon now, let's get you sorted."
She resists Abigail's tug, wiping her streaming face over the back of her hands. "I don't understand what's gotten into him. He promised me…! Whenever you call, I come - what's changed?"
She fights the urge to roll her eyes. "Does he need to have changed? You're moving onto your second husband-"
"It didn't matter with Barry!"
She sighs sharply, folding her arms unable to bite her tongue. "You have no idea the shit we have been through to get here." Mary tries to interject, but the floodgates have been opened. "We have been through literal shit since you last showed your face. Right now, he is all me and my little boy have left! We lost his father, we lost Dutch and Hosea, and we have lost all of our family - what you see here on this ranch is all that's left of that life." She picks up a perfectly folded blouse and throws it at the open travel bag across the room. "He is a good man, and he has been in love with you as long as I can remember. I couldn't understand why everyone else hated you when you made him so happy, but I guess you opened my eyes on that now."
She continues to throw items at the bag, getting more agitated as she goes. "I gave you as good a welcome I could, but Arthur was right about just how spoiled you are. You ain't ever had to work a day in your life! You ain't had to go hungry so your boy could have clothes that fit! You ain't ever seen the time and energy Arthur puts in to make sure everybody else is alright ‘cause you ain't ever stayed long enough to see it with your own eyes. You're a fool for letting a good man like him go!"
"What would you know?" retorts Mary, still picturesque with mascara running down her cheeks. "What would you know about any of this?"
"Because he's been right in front of me too!" Abigail huffs, pushing loose tendrils out of her face. "I loved Jack's father, I loved him as much as you love Arthur, but he was either useless or he didn't care enough to pretend to give a damn. We argued worse than you two, but I loved him and it's only now that he's gone that I- I can be myself. I can just be a mother. I ain't fightin' no more, ain't tellin' myself all these 'if only's. I've seen Arthur do the same right up until you showed up at the gate. Since then he's been miserable an' I'm personally peggin' it on you."
She gets to her feet, pulling a skirt from Abigail’s hand. “Are you sweet on him?”
A laugh slips out before Abigail can swallow it, and it’s greeted with Mary’s palm flat against her cheek.
Abigail’s head snaps around with the force, and catches a glimpse of Jack’s eyes in the crack of the door.
“You’re a strong woman, Abigail Roberts.” The smoke furls over his lips, the blue steel of his gaze staring out over the horizon. “You’re a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for an’... well, if you won’t do it for Marston, do it for Jack. You’re his mother an’ the one constant in his life - I like to think you would give me the boot if you thought it was best for you both.”
Mary steps forward, squaring her shoulders. “What have you been telling him?” she yells between sobs.
“I aren’t him, I ain’t her, or any of your stooges! You don’t owe me nothing - I don’t owe you nothing! Nothing! I’ll spit in your eye - I did! I told them! Yeah, I told ‘em, an’ I’d tell ‘em again!”
“What have you done to make him hate me?”
“Now I’ve got God’s ear! Mr Milton and Mr Ross, about the bank robbery. An’ I wanted them to kill you! Oh you ain’t so big now are yer?” Arthur murmurs in Dutch’s ear, his hand over his, pushing the gun to the ground as she laughs manically into every stunned face that’s gathered around to watch.
“Not so big now! Are we, your majesty?”
Abigail feels the gunshot through her gut even though there is no physical wound to be seen. She shakes her head, her anger melting into the air the same way her blood had soaked the hollow. “You wouldn’t be here if he hated you, Mary.”
“Arthur and I have always had an understanding and now you’re in the picture-!”
“I’ve always been in the picture. We’ve known each other since I was eighteen years old and every time I told him how nice I thought you were, he would brush it off sayin’ you had better ideas than him.” Abigail shakes her head, trying to forget how brutal he could be when it came to himself. “I don’t know what ideas they was, but he deserves better than that. If he ain’t the best idea you’ve ever had, then you don’t deserve him. I don’t know anyone who deserves him, but I know I won’t have a grown woman throwing a tantrum in my house because it took her twenty five years to realise her mistake.
“I will leave you to pack your things, and I will be civil. Hell, I will even throw in a good word for you, but if you ever darken this doorstep with the intention to harm anybody under this roof, I will kill you myself - Morgan or no Morgan. Now get outta my house.”
*
A low whistle comes from the kitchen table. “You sure told her, Miss Roberts.”
“An’ where was you?” She snatches the bowl from in front of Uncle and tips the contents back in the pot, ignoring his protests. “You was sittin’ on your ass, letting everyone else do the work as always.”
“Come now, Abigail, I’ve got-”
“To go find Arthur and make sure he’s alright!” She throws him his hat from the table, her hands on her hips as she glares.
“I’d love to, but it’s the lumbago…”
“I’ll go, Ma!”
“You will do no such thing, Jack Marston. Go prepare the cart for Mrs Linton tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, Ma…”
She turns to Uncle, her gaze stern. “Just go make sure he hasn’t been jumped by them Skinners up near Tall Trees.”
“Arthur’s more than capable.”
“I don’t care! Go find him!”
“You women and your hormones.” Uncle grunts, holding his back as he gets to his feet slowly. “Y’know I thought I’d miss your monthly nagging stretch, so far it’s like you’ve crammed all nine in the past coupl’o months - here’s to it getting better!”
Abigail’s face flushes. “What do you mean?”
He waves his hand dismissively. “You know what I mean. I ain’t stupid. Jack’s too young, and Arthur looks the other way, but back in the day ol’ Uncle needed to be able to tell who was available-”
“Don’t be dumb, Uncle.” Abigail swallows the upcoming nausea, ignoring the ringing in her ears. “Go find him before I feed you to the Skinners myself!”
“Alrigh’, I’m goin’, I’m goin’ - your secret's safe with me.” Chuckling, he waddles away, leaving Abigail to sink into the chair and bury her face into the darkness of her arms.
A creak of the floorboards forces her to lift her head, her anger flaring at the man that dares disobey but it melts when her gaze fixes on Mary.
"Is that why?" she hiccups. "Why he's choosing you and your boy?"
Abigail breathes out slowly, choosing her words carefully. "No, Mrs Linton. He- I haven't told him yet."
Her large eyes swell with heartache. "Is it his?"
The hesitation sends her staggering outside.
"Mrs Linton! Mary!" Abigail hurries after her but outside she is only greeted by a confused adolescent and an amused Uncle.
"What the hell did you tell her?" Uncle chortles.
Jack is flabbergasted. "She just jumped on a horse an' took off! I thought we was taking her in the cart?"
"Which way did she go?"
"North." His hands wring themselves. "Ma, d'you think she knows abou' the Skinners? She was headed straight there."
Abigail swears and slaps Uncle on the arm. "What are you waiting for?" she cries. "Get after her!"
"I thought you wanted me to go look for Arthur?"
"He can look after himself! She can't round up the chickens in the pen! Go get her!" 
The horse whinnies and gallops out the gate. For the second time in as many minutes, Abigail sank down on the porch and began to thud her head against the post.
"What happened?" Jack's arm is hesitant as it wraps around her shoulder, but it helps to ground her.
"Nothing, son. Can you run a quick perimeter? If you see Uncle Arthur, tell him about Mary. Fightin' or no, losin' her won't do any of us good."
He hesitates, but as the tears spill over, he stiffens and mounts his horse obediently. Abigail sags.

Got tagged by the marvelous @hvnnigram and I can't wait to bare my soul to you guys. this is a long one, so let's go!!
Rules: Tag people you want to get to know better 🖤
Your name and then what you would've named yourself: My full name is Montserrat (I'm Mexican, in case you couldn't tell. Well Mexican-American but anywho) but I typically go by Montse. Mainly cuz people struggle to pronounce my full name hehe but I also just think it's less of a mouthful. Idk, I honestly really love my name and don't think I'd change it given the chance. Maybe something shorter just cuz paperwork can be a bitch. I like Rene but otherwise, I'm pretty attached to my name lol.
Astrological sign (sun/moon/rising if you know them): I'm a sun Pisces, a moon Aries, and a rising Virgo, I believe :)) All in all, I'm an emotional, empathetic bitch

So yea, I joined Aug./Nov. of 2019 and I'm almost certain it was cuz I wanted to see more Good Omens fanart lol.

I just don't align with anything specifically. But I do believe there's something running things, whether that be spirits, the stars, gods, etc. I can't say.
A song that makes you feel seen: Not to be a theatre kid on main but, Breathe from In The Heights. That song and whole musical hold such a special place in my heart, esp with Nina's character cuz I'm Nina. Every part of that song just Gets Me and i ugh, can't articulate it but yea, that song be me.
If you could pick a career: A writer or painter. Anything creative/artsy really cuz crafting is just so calming to me.
Do you have a type?: ngl, I'm kinda the 'falls in love with their best friend' stereotype but beyond that, not really. I kinda just see attractive people and mentally short circuit

Top 5 fictional characters: Rowena from SPN, Bella Crawford, Beverly Katz, Eve Polastri, and Jack Crawford
Top 3 moments in a show that made you ugly cry:
1. The ending of Your Lie In April. Idk if any of yall have experienced that, but let me know if you have cuz shared trauma. I was crying so hard, I couldn't breathe. Dry heaving and everything, it was Not Pretty
2. Like literally all of One Day At Time. I know, it's cheesy but that show means a lot to me and I get so emotional watching it cuz I connect to the characters so much. Anything with Elena makes me sob cuz like she's me but also my baby, ya know
3. Um Queer Eye in general but specifically the episode with the gay pastor. That hit close to home on so many levels and boy, was I sobbing the entire time.
(Before y'all ask, honorable mention to Mizumono, TWOTL, and the ending of BBC Merlin cuz I may have been too tired to cry, but trust me, I was emotionally wrecked after all three)

No real specifics for Europe, defiently leaning more towards Western Europe and the Mediterranean cuz they just seem so pretty. And NY cuz I want a studio apartment hehe and also I adore NY. I went a couple years back and just fell in love. Although live is a loose term cuz I've always thought of moving around a lot. I like traveling and settling down isn't really convenient for that so these are kinda just ideals lol

Justice Girl
I rewrote the first part I had already done and made a cohesive one shot instead of doing my usual of making one part and then forgetting about it :p
What if Hawk Moth had been quicker to get his first akuma?
WARNING: A bit salty, but I don’t think enough to be classified as outright “Salt”
-
“Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were... the Miraculous. Throughout history, heroes have used these jewels for the good of the human race. Two of these Miraculous are more powerful than the others; the earrings of the Ladybug, which provide the power of creation; and the ring of the Black Cat, which grants the power of destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both these jewels at the same time, will achieve absolute power.” The little butterly like creature know as Nooroo narrated, finishing in a sad tone. Remembering the other Kwamis always made him felt nostalgic, and sad at the idea that he might never see them ever again.
“I want that absolute power, Nooroo” replied the man, his now owner and holder. “I must have those Miraculous!”
“But nobody knows where these Miraculous are! It would be an incredible contrived coincidence if they are even in the same continent we are now!”
“I found you though, my little Nooroo.”
“Yes, in Tibet. We’re like a million kilometers away from that! Seriously there’s a fat chance you’ll…”
“ Your Miraculous... remind me of its powers again.”
“The Moth Brooch allows you to give someone their own superpowers and to make that person your devoted follower!”
“And when it comes to luring superheroes, what could be better than creating supervillains?”
“But master, the Miraculous are not meant to be used for evil purposes! Wouldn’t it be way easier if you use my powers to make a super hero healer to cure your wife from her Soap Opera Coma?”
“…. Where is the fun in that? I must have this absolute power! Your Miraculous is in my control! I am your master now, and you must obey me.”
“Aw, fuck… I mean, Yes, master” nodded Nooroo sadly, aware that he had landed on the hands of a drama queen supervillain. He even thought his wife was just an excuse for his super villain agenda. He saw how he put on the brooch, and wished if the man would have been as enthusiastic if his Miraculous had been a hair accessory or something more girly.
“Nooroo, dark wings! Rise!”  Nooroo went inside the brooch and Gabriel Abigail Agreste grew a foot taller, using the magic to transform himself. Apparently he had height issues. And a fetish for Luchador masks. “From this day on, I shall be known as... Hawk Moth!” he claimed, and then laughed evilly, despite being alone in the hideout. He made a mental note to tell Nathalie how well his first transformation had gone.
-
“Master, Master!” The little turtle like creature known as Wayzz woke up from a nap and immediately  panicked through his holder and current Guardian of the Miraculous Box of Creation and Destruction massage shop. Unfortunately, his master was with a client, and he almost got caught.
“Uh…  Master, master... chanting, it's all part of the treatment. Master, master... “ He made the customer stand up and pushed him out the door rather quickly. Thank goodness he gave his massages to fully clothed people or that might have been awkward.  “Thank you for coming, see you again next week!”
“Master, the Moth Miraculous, I felt its aura.”
“Damn, I forgot to charge him… Wait, what? I thought it had been lost forever!”
“You mean, you lost it forverer”
“Same difference. How did you feel it anyway?”
“Uh… But Master, it's a negative aura. I fear it may have gotten into the hands of a dark power!”
“You and your overdramatic ass… Someone probably found it at a flea market or something… either way, we must find Nooroo and his Miraculous. If it has gotten into the wrong hands, there's no telling what evil will come upon the world!” Master Fu raises his arm, in which Wayzz Miraculous rests.  “Time to transform! Wayzz... “
“… I’ll bring your medicine”
“ I'm only 186! But you're right, Wayzz. I can no longer do it alone. We'll need some help.!”
Fu opens the gramophone, revealing the Miraculous chest box
-
An alarm is off. The owner of said alarm hasn’t even made an attempt to turn it off. Typical teenager.
“Marinette!” yelled the teenager’s mom from downstairs.  “Your alarm's been going off for fifteen minutes! You're going to be late for your first day back at school!”
Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a normal life with a normal life, crawled out of underneath her bed covers, still half asleep. “Got it, Mom!” She turned the alarm off and went to prepare for class.
During her routine, she couldn’t help but get a bad feeling overall. She would return to class this morning, after an uneventful break. Uneventful, boring, friendless break.  It’s not that she didn’t try, but with Chloe Bourgeois as a classmate,  the bitchiest bitch that has ever lived, and herself as a constant target of her bullying, it was rather hard to stand up to her, not to mention everyone else just looked away, afraid what would she do if they ever dared to show kindness to her. She sighed, and hoped against hope that Chloe wouldn’t be her classmate this year.
-
Hawk Moth feels it, for the first time, someone else’s feelings. He had to compose himself at first to remember those are NOT his own feelings… Such strong feelings... the anxiety… the fear… the outright despair of a teenage girl who doesn’t want to go to school today. Somewhat cliché, he thinks, but beggars can’t be choosers, and once he focus on someone, as Nooroo explained, he can’t track anyone else.
He digs in the feelings. The more he does it, the less foreign it feels, the clearer he gets what’s the girl is feeling... what he is feeling. Another girl bullies her, and the teachers don’t do anything. She also doesn’t have any friends, not for lack of trying, but from fear of retaliation of the other mean girl… Even he starts to feel bad for the poor girl. But if everything goes according to his plan, this girl will get sweet revenge on the Mean Girl, and he will get the Miraculous… or at least confirm if they are somewhere nearby after all.
“Fly my little Akuma, and evilize her!”
-
Marinette was ready for the day. Or as ready as she could be, anyway. She sighed again.
“Coming!” she announced herself, walking down the stairs to the family kitchen, where her mom was waiting for her. “I bet you anything Chloe will be in my class again.”
“Four years in a row, is that possible?”
“Definitely. Lucky me!”
“Oh, don't say that! It's the start of a new year. I'm sure everything will be just fine!”
Marinette smiled and nodded, trying to put on a brave face for her mom, and setting down the cereal. Several things are knocked over, spilling and falling to the floor. She groans.
After cleaning up and finally getting breakfast, both of them go downstairs, where the family business is located, a bakery. They find Tom, Marinette’s dad, singing while preparing a box of macaroons.
“Dad, these are so awesome!”
“Glad you like them.”
“Thank you Dad, my class will love them! You're the best!”
“We're the best, thanks to your amazing designs.”
Marinette hugged her dad, dropping the box. Fortunately, he caught it on his terribly huge foot and gives it back to her
“Thanks.” Marinette gets her backpack from her mom and with the box of macaroons, she says goodbye.
Marinette then tried to cross the street, but a car passes by and prevents her from it. She remembers her bad luck… and the possibility that Chloe will be her classmate and make her year miserable. Again.
Without paying attention to it, a little butterfly got inside her purse. OR rather, the butterfly fused with her purse, turning it a dark purple color, and made it look more like it was made of shadows.
“Hello, I am Hawk Moth” said the villain after his Akuma flied into Marinette’s purse. “You have suffered enough at the hands of that bully girl. You have suffered because no one had come to your rescue, not your classmates, not your teacher, not even your parents. But you’re not alone anymore, I offer you my powers. I offer you to make Justice for yourself, and to help everyone else, so no one has to felt like you did. Do you accept?”
Marinette dropped the box of macaroons, and didn’t notice an old man on the other side of the street clearly panicking when he saw her saying “I accept”
And she transformed. Marinette Dupain-Cheng was no longer, replaced by… a super hero. Justice Girl was her name now, her normal clothes replaced by a (somewhat tacky) super hero costume. She was wearing a domino mask that was supposed to hide her identity, although a lot of people just saw her transform in the creepiest of ways.
She then smiled, and went flying to the school (Which people later thought it was hella dramatic of her, as the school was basically in front of them).
She was sure she could find Chloe
She was sure she could make Chloe pay.
-
“Nino, Why don't you have a seat in the front row this year?”
Miss Bustier, the kind and kind of pushover teacher asked a boy hanging in the back row, minding his own business. Without saying a word, the boy complied and took a seat at the front.
“You better treat Adrien right, Lahiffe” he heard someone said to him. He looked at the girl, who took a seat in the bench behind him. Chloe Bourgeois, resident Queen Bitch. He didn’t like her, but also didn’t want to get on her bad side, as he knew that would be trouble.
“Who?”
Chloe looked at him in disbelief, and let out a haughty laugh. Her sidekick, Sabrina, who was sitting beside her, followed her example.
“Can you believe he doesn't know who Adrien is? What rock have you been living under?”
“He's only a famous model” replied Sabrina, just as haughty as Chloe.
“And I am his best friend. He adores me.”
If this Adrien was Chloe’s friend, Nino could help but hate his guts, and dread to be his benchmate for the rest of the year.
“Has everyone found a seat?” asked the teacher, ignoring Chloe’s bitchiness despite it happening literally in front of her. “For those of you who don't yet know me, I'm Miss Bustier. I'll be your teacher this year.”
“Ugh, he should have been here by now.”
No one seemed to notice that Marinette hadn’t arrived yet either.  The door suddenly opened, kicked by Justice Girl. She got inside the classroom and smiled in a creepy way.
“Oh, but I am here!” she smiled. Everyone looked at her, first in shock at the door being kicked, then in confusion. None of them seemed to realize she was Marinette, even if all she had was different clothes and a mask.
“Excuse me miss” Miss Bustier tried to confront her. “I think you have the wrong classroom”
“No, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be” she looked at the whole classroom, and immediately noticed that Chloe wasn’t in her regular seat, but instead had decided to take a claim on her. “I have come to make her pay for her crimes.” She said, pointing an accusatory finger at Chloe.
“And who are you supposed to be?” Asked Alya, the only one who wasn’t as confused (and afraid) as the rest of the class.
“I’m Justice Girl”
-
Outside the school, Adrien Abigail Agreste, Teen Model, was having his own battle.
“Adrien, please reconsider! You know what your father wants!” asked a very worried woman, his father personal assistant that also took care of Adrien’s schedule.
“Sucks to be him then, this is what I wanna do!” He said, running to the school’s entrance. He knew he would be in trouble the second his father learned that he was attending public school, but he also knew that it would look very bad if he pulled him from school after being seen by everyone there. Not to mention the temper tantrum Chloe, his childhood friend would throw.
Luckily for him, Chloe had already told him his classroom and schedule, and how to get here.
He had seen a lot of anime and manga and movies and obviously he didn’t expected them to burst into song (Although he hoped so with all his heart, brain, kidneys and assorted internal organs).
“Sorry I’m late I…” he said after entering the classroom.
He wasn’t prepared for this.
All his classmates were in the back, he could only see a couple of guys and a tiny pink haired girl. Everyone else was trying to hide behind them. On the front, what he supposed was their teacher had her hands on her head, as if she had a migraine.. He took a second to notice, but recoiled when he noticed that her eyes were wide open, but she was no pupils. Her eyes were a deep purple, and in one of her wrists, she was wearing a bracelet, which gave him a bad vibe. In front of him, three girls stood. Chloe was behind a girl with glasses that he didn’t know, and another girl was in front of them, looking like she just came from an anime convention.
He was pretty sure there were no anime conventions, otherwise he would have gone (Disguised, of course.).
He then noticed the anime girl was floating a few inches above the ground.
“I don’t care that you fancy yourself a super hero” said the girl with glasses. Adrien assumed she was protecting Chloe. Or knowing Chloe, she was being used as a human shield. Probably a bit of both. “This is wrong!”
“You must be new here.” The hero said, looking at the girl with glasses. “She’s a criminal. A Bully.”
“Name’s Alya, nice to meet you”
“Likewise”
“Still, Superheroes shouldn’t be jury, judge and executioner”
“This girl’s father is the mayor of Paris. She has everyone wrapped around her little finger. Students fear her. Teachers can’t do anything about her. Believe me; I’m doing everyone a favor.”
“Have you seen everyone?” said Alya, gesturing to her new classmates, who were still cowering. “IF she’s a bully, you’re no better than her”
Justice Girl looked at the others… sad?
“And look what you did to our teacher! Did she deserve that too?”
Justice Girl looked at Miss Bustier. Unlike with her classmates, she just cocked her head, almost in confusion.
“Actually, my power makes people feel how their crimes have made other people feel. This teacher’s inaction hasn’t made anyone any favors.”
“SHUT UP! She’s the best teacher ever!”
Justice Girl looked surprised. It had been Chloe who talked. And it sounded sincere.  She smirked. Of course Chloe would like the teacher who gave her free rein. Of course Chloe would like the teacher who allowed her to bully and mistreat and make everyone miserable without any sort of punishment.
“We all hurt other people, even when we don’t mean to. You are hurting all of us” said Adrien finally.  Justice Girl turned around to see the newcomer.
“Adrikins!” yelled Chloe, still behind Alya. “Don’t get any closer, she’s crazy!”
“Another new one? Beware of Chloe. She’s the worst.”
“AM NOT!”
“I know Chloe can be a handful…”
“Hey!”
“But she has a good heart!”
Justice Girl laughed.
“You don’t know her at all.” She said to Adrien, matter-of-factly. She then faced Alya again. “And why are you protecting her? You don’t even know her!”
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing” said Alya solemnly. Justice Girl raised an eyebrow. “Well, girl, you are literally terrorizing a bunch of teens, ergo, you’re evil, and I like to think I am good, so I can’t let you get away with this.”
Justice Girl raised her arm, giving Alya and the rest a start. Adrien bravely jumped in front of them (Later, people would point out that it would have been easier to tackle Justice Girl instead of trying to perform a heroic sacrifice).
Justice Girl recalled the bracelet on Miss Bustier. It went inside the bag on her hip.
“You have given me a lot to think about, Alya. I applaud and respect your conviction, even if I don’t agree with it.”
She bowed to Alya, who awkwardly bowed back.
“You too Adrikins, but don’t go performing heroic sacrifices for others… especially when they’re no necessary.”
“Duly noted” replied Adrien from the ground, were he landed face flat.
She floated higher in the air, and went out through the window, shattering it.
“… Why she didn’t use the door?”
-
“Justice Girl” She could hear Hawk Moth on her head, just like before. “What are you doing? You’re supposed to…”
The girl in question was helping an elderly woman cross the street, carrying her groceries. After reaching her house, the old lady gave her a croissant. It was good.
“I’m doing some hero-ing” she said, and then she spotted a kitty stuck in a tree, and went to rescue it.
“That’s not… WHY aren’t you attacking that mean girl?”
“Because I would be a villain if I attacked her unprovoked” Replied the girl, while helping a man change his flat tire.
“What”
“Don’t worry, she will attack me sooner than later… but not like this”
She went to the school again, and entered through an open window in the locker room. She tapped her hip bag that had become her purse, and all the energy of the transformation went inside it. She was Marinette again.
“What… How did you…?”
“You made me a super hero, didn’t you?” she said, walking out of the locker room. “And super heroes have secret identities”
Hawk Moth was annoyed. He detrasnformed and looked at his Kwami. As long as this girl held his akuma, he wouldn’t be able to create another one.
All his plans ruined, before they even started, all because he decided to use his powers in a girl who wanted Justice.
-
-
Yeah, I’m not 100% satisfied with my drawing, but that’s the basic concept. I only used olors that were already on Marinette’s palette, and her symbol is one of her flowers (Which obviously no one will recognize).
I tried to give her a bit of a chinese flair, but still make it a silly super hero costume, hence the half cape. 
I might add more colors/details if I draw her again, but for now I’m happy. 
Feel free to make suggestions headcanons of this oneshot!
