No. Who did you last see on webcam? The doctor that overlooks my TMS progress. Do you need a haircut? I need a trim for sure. How would you react if your mother told you that she was pregnant again? Well, considering 1.) she's way past menopause and especially 2.) she's had a complete hysterectomy, y'know... that's kind of impossible. She also hasn't been with a guy in many years, so she would have to be joking. You log into Facebook and see the red ‘1’ notification next to the message icon.

What is the most difficult or involved video game you’ve ever played?

It itself isn't a hard game whatsoever, but you can pursue some really hard achievements. Ever watch the show Supernatural? If you have, then what’s your favorite episode? I used to love it, but just stopped watching eventually. My fave episode... Man, it's been too long to remember many. Probably one of the funnier ones.

What about the nails? I don't think so? When is the last time you cried? I was sobbing earlier today, fun stuff. Would you ever date somebody that has been divorced more than once? Most likely not. ESPECIALLY at my age. What are some stereotypically nerdy things that you like? Oh god. WoW, M:tG, big glasses, anime (does that count? idk really), video games... a lot of stuff, really. Have you ever attended a wedding that ended where the bride and groom didn’t actually get married? What happened? Y I K E S, no. That would be SO uncomf. What scares you the most about becoming a mother (hypothetically, if you don’t want to have children)? Actually raising it properly, physically and emotionally. Would you ever want a job in fashion? What would you enjoy about that type of job? No. Would you ever be a surrogate mother? No. What do you think would be the best and worst parts about being a twin? It'd be cool to have someone you feel an almost supernatural connection towards, but I'd also feel like I wasn't as "original" as I would be if I was born alone. Do you feel that your childhood was more rough compared to others around you? I mean it wasn't awful at all, but sure, in some ways compared to at least someone. How would you react if you found out today that you were actually adopted? Well today I'm a wreck, so don't tell me. I want to know that I wasn't lied to for 25 years. Have either of your parents ever cheated on one another before, that you know of? How would you react if you found out today that one of them cheated? I'm not entirely clear on this, but I'm 90% sure Dad cheated on Mom with his now-wife. Dad also accused Mom of cheating, but I HIGHLY doubt that's true. Do you like cleaning and organizing? Not really. How would you react if you found out you were infertile? If you don’t plan on having kids to begin with, what is a long-term goal you’d be crushed to find out was impossible to achieve? Fuck having kids. I'd be a terrible mother. So to answer the other question, I'll be pretty, pretty sad if I can't get permission to spread Teddy's ashes at Yellowstone. Would you take your dream job if it were out of the country? Well, obviously not considering my dream job is a meerkat biologist, and I'm not moving to Africa. Have you ever been robbed? No. Is anyone close to you an alcoholic? Not anymore. Dad was, but he's recovered. Have you ever dumped anyone? Yes. What kind of tea do you drink? I hate tea. Do you know anyone in a gang? No, and I hope I never do. What’s the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for you? Risk his fucking sanity and health to try to hold my fucked up self up. What is your orientation? Gay? Straight? Metrosexual? Anything other? Bisexual. I've kinda been questioning pansexual of the late, though. I don't know. Have you ever done anything really dangerous or illegal with friends? Not to my memory. Name three feelings you’re feeling right now: Regret. Hopelessness. Loneliness. And the reasons for these feelings? Take a wild fuckin' guess. How do you feel about your life right now? It's an actual dumpster fire. Is it easy for you to like yourself? Why or why not? Fuck no. Because there's just not very much TO like about me. Even on my good days, I see flaw after flaw in myself. What subjects come naturally to you? English, some aspects of science. What subjects do not? Math, economics, politics, history... Do you read more fiction or more non-fiction books?

The last time you yelled as loud as you could, what was the reason? I was having a nightmare. Have you ever been heartbroken? For sure. Who did that to you? First Dad, then Jason. Did you go through an ugly stage as a kid? Boy, did I. The last type of sandwich you made or ate: A pb&j. The last time you spent most of the day in bed: Literally every day. I do just about everything in bed. Pathetic, I know. The last friend or acquaintance you made: Ummmm idk. The last thing you took pictures of: A hydrangea bush. The last time you were scared: Now. The future is terrifying, my friend. The last thing you looked up online: The definition of a word to ensure I was using it correctly. The last thing you disagreed with: So I've been watching John Wolfe's old stream of him playing Alice: Madness Returns, and he went on a total soapbox about smoking being okay essentially because we're all gonna die eventually from something, and I really disagreed with it. Does your house have a separate laundry room? No, just like a closet. Do your parents still help you financially? I'm still entirely dependent on them. Does your car have a backup camera? No. Have either of your parents ever been in trouble with the law? Not to my knowledge. Have you ever had a pet that lived to be really old for its breed/species? REALLY old, no. Teddy was definitely up there, but beagles have lived longer. What was the last strong scent you smelled? Lysol. Have you ever told someone to their face that they were ugly? Christ, no.

No. Have you ever seen a live bat? Yes. What is the most amount of money you’ve spent on a meal before? I dunno. Have you ever taken a woodshop class? No. How much time do you spend on Facebook, if you have one? Funny you ask, because as of today I decided to take a break from it for awhile. I've found it's nothing more than a breeding ground for envy and making me feel like a horribly incompetent adult. Has a teacher ever made you hate yourself/your work? I had one photography teacher in college that I was NOT a fan of. He was super, super hard on everyone, like to an unnecessary degree. We were students, not pros. Have you ever been on the barrier or front row at a concert? No. Are your parents supportive of you? Somehow.

Attempt #1: Tell it to them straight

wc: 1,826

<<prologue

The mini gathering for your birthday was almost dying down after eating dinner everyone worked on together prior the surprise, a couple of movies, and a handful of group games like monopoly and charades. For most of the night, you had been juggling entertaining Jaehyun whenever he tries to catch your attention and Taeyong, just to make sure he’s not out of place.

You ran into him in the mall and when you introduced him to your mom, she immediately suggested to have him come over for dinner that really confused you but Taeyong didn’t seem to be fazed about it and agreed when you asked him. It only made sense when your friends surprised you that your mom was inviting Taeyong to the party and when you quickly asked Taeyong if he knew, he said Jangmi might have let it slip to him the other day.

You didn’t even know they knew each other.

Jaehyun, on the other hand, was becoming slightly annoyed at how you kept changing your attention from him to Taeyong that Jangmi had to divert Taeyong’s attention away sometimes so your attention on Jaehyun wouldn’t be so divided.

Halfway through a movie while Jangmi was coming back from the bathroom and Jaehyun was refilling their popcorn bowls for everyone, she approaches him as inconspicuous as possible to avoid anyone noticing.

“You’re starting to look jealous and a little possessive.”

Jaehyun grimaces, “I am not.”

“Look, just tell her as soon as you can once we all leave. If you want, I can leave after this movie and maybe I can get Taeyong to leave as well, like, start a chain reaction so you can finally tell her.”

“Would you really? But wait, what am I going to do and say?”

Jangmi exhales, rolling her eyes, “I’m not the one in love with her to tell you what to say. Just end your misery, Jaehyun. Just tell it to her straight.”

She takes one of the bowls he’s already replenished and pats his back, “You got this, man.”

After the movie ended and a quick discussion about the plot and characters, Jangmi nods at Jaehyun before announcing, “Hey, my brother is home alone so I should probably head back now. Happy birthday again, [Y/N].”

You’re genuinely upset that she’s leaving because despite the fact she’s the girl Jaehyun likes, you’re starting to understand why. She’s fun to be with, but also taking the role of being the ‘mom’ friend of the group. “You can bring him some cake! There’s a lot left over. Let me prepare it for you.”

“It’s getting late, I’ll take you home.” Taeyong quietly says, rising up from his seat.

Once you had packed a slice of cake in some disposable tupperware for Jangmi’s brother, you walk them out after they waved the others goodbye. “Do you live near each other?”

Jangmi glances up at Taeyong, “Our apartment complexes are in front of each other.”

“Oh, well, you guys take care! Thanks for coming.” After you see them off, the rest start leaving as well; except Jaehyun and the twins who helped clean up the place. When you assured the twins they could leave, you were left alone with Jaehyun just like always.

He’s smiling at you with his lips pursed, standing in the middle of the room looking almost anxious as he waits for you.

“You okay?”

“Do you want your present now?”

“A present? The party wasn’t it?” You feigned innocence, gesturing to the now cleared out living room. “Jae, you shouldn’t have.”

He chuckles, shaking his head. “It’s in your room. Come on.”

You let him take your hand, trying not to make a big deal out of it, “You were in my room? Jaehyun! How dare you!”

“It’s not like I haven’t let myself in before.” He shrugs, opening the door to your room and leading you to the middle of the room. “I hope you didn’t buy anything similar to this.”

“What is it?” You watch him round the corner of your bed and kneel down to get something from below, instantly your blood goes cold: did he see the gift Yebin get you last year?

“Close your eyes!”

You do as you’re told, putting your palms over your eyes and patiently wait. You could hear his soft footsteps padding closer to you before he clears his throat.

“Happy birthday!”

You pull your hands away and look down at his hands, eyeing the peach-colored wrapped box. “What is it?”

Jaehyun motions for you to sit down, “Open it.”

Both of you sit on the edge of your bed. He places the gift on your lap before you begin picking at the tape that held the wrapper together. “Why am I nervous?” You laugh at how your fingers were shaking.

“I’m nervous, too! What if someone got you a similar gift or maybe you it for yourself?”

“I haven’t gotten myself a gift and everyone else’s gifts are in the living roo-” You finally peeled back the cute paper off and gasp at the familiar logo that peeks beneath it. “No, you didn’t… Jae - this has got to be a prank.”

With the wrapping now completely off, you stare down at the camera box in your hands. It was heavy - just like how a regular camera would weigh, but; “What is this, really?”

Jaehyun laughs, “What do you think it is? Can’t you read? It’s a camera!”

“It can’t be! This is expensive! How did you even afford this?” You start opening the box with utmost care. This was one of the new releases of the camera brand you were comfortable using and you were very aware of it’s price. “Where did you get the money to pay for this?”

“Savings, a few part time jobs, mostly loaned from my dad.” He sounds a little regretful at the last words, “But don’t worry about that. Do you like it?”

“Like it?” You cried, “Jaehyun, I love it! This is way too much!”

“You told me about that photography workshop you’re attending this summer and I thought I’d give you a new camera after I saw you browsing for a new one the other week.”

You were. You desperately needed a new camera so while you waited for Jaehyun after his basketball practice, you had multiple tabs open on your laptop to canvas for something you can afford and he had probably seen it over your shoulder. “I don’t think saying thank you is enough.”

“If you’re happy with it, then that’s enough.”

You spring up to your feet after moving the box off and walk over to your desk with camera in hand. You pop a spare SD card into it and turn it on, removing the lens cap from it and pointing it towards Jaehyun. “Smile!”

He puts a ‘V’ sign up with his fingers and flashes a grin before you press on the shutter button and take his photo.

“How is it?”

“Beautiful - ugh! It’s amazing.” You sigh while checking the photo you just took.

“Thanks.” Jaehyun jokes, clicking his tongue as he stands up, “I’d like to thank my parents for my genes.”

Rolling your eyes, you turn the camera off and set it down on your desk. As you turn back to Jaehyun, you throw your arms around his shoulders. “You’re the best, Jae. I love you so much.”

Both of you are thankful that you don’t see each other’s faces after those last five words. Jaehyun is suddenly reminded to confess to you while you’re trying to continue the sentence to make it nonchalant.

“What did I do in my past life to deserve you?”

His hands are running up and down your back to reciprocate the hug before he starts pulling away and clearing his throat. “[Y/N]... listen, I…”

Your heart drops, you feel like an idiot. He has feeling for someone else and here you are throwing yourself at him like this even though you meant it in a platonic way. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have…”

Jaehyun frowns at you, “What? No, [Y/N], wait-”

The doorbell rings and you quickly excuse yourself to get it, nevertheless he follows you out. It was his mom, ruefully telling him about how the puppy made a mess in their hallways, and as they had agreed upon, Jaehyun is in charge of cleaning up after it.

He cusses under his breath, just quiet enough so his mom wouldn’t hear, “Okay, I’ll go clean it up.”

His mom greets you with a sweet smile, leaning over to give you a hug as Jaehyun dejectedly walks out. They both wish you a good night and the last thing you see is Jaehyun looking regretful.

“I messed it up; I think I sounded like I was going to reject her.” Jaehyun whines as he scrubs the part of the floor his puppy pooped on with a call with Jangmi (and Minkyung, since he interrupted their own phone call) on speaker. “Should I just call her now or text her?”

“No, you idiot! Don’t you dare confess via phone. You need to do that face to face.” Jangmi scolds. “Oh, I bet she’s hurt right now.”

“Jang!”

“I’m stating facts! Look, just try again tomorrow. Before you guys head out for school, just stop her and tell her you love her.”

Minkyung cuts in, “What? That’s it? After the shitty emotions he put her through? Jae, you better confess in a grand manner. Think bouquets! Doves! Fireworks!”

“I just spent over a thousand dollars for her gift, I don’t think I can even afford her a rose if I wanted.”

“Nothing extreme. Build up simple little acts of love and then confess. Ignore Minkyung, just go with your guts, Jae.”

“Hey! I just want the best for [Y/N].”

Jaehyun huffs, stretching out his back after being hunched over on the floor, groaning at the cracks it made, “I do, too, Kyung, you know that. I’ll try again tomorrow, thanks.”

After he hangs up and puts away the cleaning supplies, he scoops the sleeping puppy off the floor and lays it on his bed before he gets in beside it. He runs his thumb over the pup’s head, watching it slip back to sleep after making itself comfortable.

Although Jangmi’s suggestions were easier to do, he can’t help but agree with Minkyung; he can’t do this half-assed. Based on your journal entries, he’s really put you through difficult emotions that’s putting a gap between the two of you. He noticed how distant you’ve been or awkward with him the past weeks and he’s definitely sensed that you and Taeyong have been getting closer; even though you haven’t been on the date he got from the auction.

Was he jealous? Maybe. Just enough to fuel his desire of winning your affection back and be able to confess. He only hopes it isn’t too late.

Masterlist

(Not my photo, credit to whoever made it!)

Kevin made me come to school with him early to ask Jughead to be the videographer. I really didn’t want to go to school early but I didn’t have a choice. So I was also forced to go to the before school musical practice. I watched them sing and dance and I sat next to Fangs while they did this. After they were done everyone sat in a circle on chairs and Kevin smiled.

“Welcome to Carrie: The Musical.” He said and then Fangs pulled his chair into the circle, next to Kevin and Toni.

“Okay. Next, introductions.” Kevin said and I rolled my eyes. Jughead was behind everyone filming the behind the scenes.

“I’m Archie, I’m playing Tommy Ross. The boy next door.” Archie said.

“I’m Betty, I play Sue Snell. The good girl.” Betty said.

“Veronica Lodge, playing mean girl, Chris Hargensen.” Veronica said.

“I’m Cheryl Blossom, playing the iconic role of Carrie White.” Cheryl said standing up.

“Tone deaf.” Josie said with a cough and I bit my lip. Oh boy…

“Who’s playing your mom? Margaret White.” Ethel asked.

“I am.” Alice Cooper said walking in.

“Ah!” Kevin said with a smile.

“Mom?” Betty asked.

“Wait, seriously?” Ethel asked.

“Settle down. Yes, it’s untraditional but to me, there’s nothing more amateur than age-inappropriate casting.” Kevin said and I rolled my eyes.

“It’s a school play.” I said and Kevin narrowed his eyes at me.

“I’m really looking forward to getting to know who this woman is, you know, get under her skin. And, of course, to spend some quality time with my daughter, Elizabeth.” Alice said and Betty smiled.

“Uh, sorry.” Chuck said walking in and everyone rolled their eyes.

“I thought rehearsal were in the Music Room.” He said.

“No problem. All are welcome here.” Kevin said and I scoffed. Chuck sat down and they kept talking.

“Why am I even here, Kevin? I’m not even in the play.” I asked when they took a break.

“Because, you don’t have anywhere else to go.” He said and I narrowed my eyes at him.

“Anywhere is better than watching you guys put on a stupid play.” I said crossing my arms.

“Dad wants me to keep an eye on you, so you’re staying here.” He said and I rolled my eyes.

“Of course he does.” I said annoyed and just walked over to Toni and Fangs.

“Hey Quinny, how are you doin’?” Fangs asked.

“Eh, I’d rather not talk about this…” I said and Toni placed her arm around me.

“Forget about that, we’re talking to him. Besides that, how are you and Kevin?” She asked and I groaned.

“Ughhh, I still don’t want to talk to him or my dad.” I said annoyed and they sighed.

“He’s your brother, you gotta talk to him.” Fangs said and Toni nodded.

“Maybe when he gets his head outta his ass.” I said crossing my arms and they laughed. The break ended and I went back to sitting on the sidelines.

“Okay. Act one scene one.” Kevin told everyone as they looked at the scripts.

“Actually, before we begin…” Cheryl said standing up and putting her script down.

“I’ve heard whisperings that some of you ensemble-vultures don’t think I’m fit to play or sing-” She said and looked at Josie.

“No.” Josie said shaking her head.

“The role of Carrie White. So, to settle this matter once and for all. Maestro?” Cheryl called out.

“Okay, uh, Cheryl-” Kevin said but she cut him off by starting to sing. Cheryl finished and Toni stood up to clap. I also started clapping and soon everyone else joined in.

“Wow, I think I speak for everyone when I say that was undeniable, Cheryl.” Kevin said. Cheryl was walking back to her seat when a sandbag fell and almost hit her. We all looked at her in shock. After that happened Kevin decided to call it for practice. I stayed in the shadows throughout the day just like I have been for the past week. I just really couldn’t kick the horrible feeling I felt from Sweet Pea breaking up with me.

After school Kevin and I went home and he told me that he found a letter in his locker from the Black Hood. He said that the Black Hood didn’t want Cheryl to play Carrie but he wasn’t going to recast her. After he told me that I just stayed in my room until dinner where I ignored my family. I really didn’t want to talk to them since they literally ruined my relationship. During the whole Carrie rehearsals Kevin forced me to go with him. When I refused him he had Toni, Fangs, or Jughead make me come. They all claimed they wanted me to keep my mind of Sweet Pea. I watched as Betty, Archie, Veronica, and Chuck practice their scene where they were both wanting to help/hurt Carrie. Once it was finished Kevin told everyone it was finished and then we went home. The next day I was dragged there once again. Cheryl and Josie were practicing their scene and honestly this was probably the only scene I was excited to see.

“In this scene, gym teacher Mrs. Gardener is being a friend when out girl has none, out of sheer kindness.” Kevin said, I was sitting behind him and Fangs.

“I’ll fake it as best I can.” Josie said with a sigh and Cheryl looked her up and down. The music started and Josie was the first one to sing.

“Stop, stop, stop.” Cheryl said and everyone stopped.

“Okay, Cheryl, I’m the only one that’s allowed to stop.” Kevin said and I rolled my eyes. God he’s taking this too seriously.

“I can’t do this! I can’t have you hating me while we’re singing a song about friendship.” Cheryl said and my brother shook his head.

“I know everything I did was legit crazy, Josie, but I was wrestling with some dark, Carrie White-like demons, and I’m so, so sorry. So please, please forgive me.” Cheryl said and they started singing again. I sighed and watched as they both were making up. Ugh, I wanted some drama… After that was done Veronica was up to practice her World According To Chris scene. God could Kevin cast anymore obvious? Betty the good girl, Veronica the bad girl, it’s a little on the nose. She finished and everyone clapped.

“Okay, Veronica, I am obsessed with everything that just happened.” Kevin said walking up to her.

“Thank you, it helps to be off-book and in full costume.” Veronica said with a smile and Betty laughed.

“Don’t be so modest. You are the literal embodiment of Chris.” She said and I smirked, guess I’ll be gettin my drama after all.

“Never has a role been so perfectly type-cast.” She added.

“Betty…” Archie said trying to stop her and my brother sighed.

“What was that, Betty?” Veronica asked.

“I mean, think about it. Spoiled rich girl, check. Major daddy issues, check. Bad to the bone, trying to control everyone around her, including her boyfriend and best friend. Check, check, check.” Betty said and I smirk nudging Jughead.

“Looks like your girlfriends finally figured it out.” I said and he shook his head at me. Kevin told everyone they could leave and they did. I was stuck with Jughead and he was watching as Archie was talking to Betty in the back.

“A little jealous are we?” I asked him.

“Shut up Quinny.” He said shoving me.

“How are you anyway?” He asked turning the camera off.

“I’m doing as best as I can be after my first boyfriend broke up with me because of my family.” I said sitting back in my seat.

“Hey, we’re talking to him okay? Toni said you made him happy so he’s not just gonna throw that away.” Jug said giving me a side hug.

“He already did…” I sighed. I could feel a wave of tears ready to escape. I got up and walked over to my brother who was with Fangs.

“Hey Kev… I’m gonna go home…” I said and he looked at me worried.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” He asked and I nodded.

“Yeah… I’m just tired. I’ll see you at home.” I said and walked out. I walked home and locked myself in my room. I took out my phone and started going through mine and Sweet Pea’s texts. Why was I torturing myself like this? We haven’t talked in weeks, hell I haven’t even seen him besides in class. Maybe Toni was wrong and I didn’t make him happy… I cried myself to sleep again that night.

The next day I was yet again forced to go to rehearsals but this time Cheryl wasn’t there. I looked at everyone confused. Where was she? She wouldn’t be late, she wanted to play Carrie more than anything.

“Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Cheryl will no longer be playing the role of Carrie White.” My brother said and Fangs tried to place his hand on his shoulder? Did Fangs have a thing for my brother? Good luck with that.

“What? Why?” Toni asked.

“Let’s just say that Penelope Blossom isn’t much of a stage-mom.” Kevin said and I scoffed.

“I think Cheryl’s by the gym bleachers.” He told Toni and she grabbed her stuff and left.

“In the meantime, Cheryl’s understudy will assume the role.” My brother said.

“Understudy?” Ethel asked.

“I appointed one after the sandbag incident. Midge Klump!” He said and everyone clapped. After that announcement everyone took their seats. Midge and Alice were going to practice one of their scenes. Everything was going well until Alice said Betty instead of Carrie..

“Mom?” Betty asked.

“Don’t leave me, Betty. Don’t leave me like all the others.” Alice said while crying then ran off. Betty got up and followed her.

“Am I directing a train wreck? And where’s my tea?” Kevin asked Fangs.

“Yeah you are. What did you think was gonna happen?” I asked rolling my eyes.

“Shut it you!” Kevin said looking at me.

After what felt like forever it was finally the night of the play. Kevin made sure we were dressed nice, so I was dressed in black lace dress, black and silver flower earrings, a black and silver flower necklace, and some black heels. For makeup, I up on a dark red lip and black and silver eyeshadow with a wing. I also curled my hair and put a bow in the back.

It was definitely too dressy for a school play but Kevin was making us so we had to. I was sitting next to Cheryl and Jughead and he was sitting next to my brother. We were watching the play and everything was going great. Alice was singing one her songs where Carrie was locked in the closet and everyone was loving it. They set looked amazing too.

“Alright Carrietta, it’s time to come out of your closet.” Alice said and the set lifted. What everyone saw was horrific.

“Uh, Kevin, did you re-block this scene? Why isn’t she on her knees singing?” Cheryl asked.

“I-I…” Kevin just stuttered, he didn’t know what to say. There on the wall was Midge Klump stabbed with multiple knives and with things written in her blood…

“I am back from the dead all those who escaped me before will die. B.H.” I read and we all just stared in shock, not processing what was happening.

“I don’t think that’s part of the show.” Jughead said shocked.

“Oh my God!” Kevin said.

“Somebody should help her! For God’s sake, help her!” Cheryl yelled and Alice finally turned around. She screamed and everyone started screaming and freaking out. We all got up and Kevin grabbed me pulling me to the stage but I got out of his grip and ran for the door. Two people stopped me and I looked up to see Fangs and Sweet Pea. Fangs grabbed me and pulled me out of the school with them.

“What the hell was that?” Fangs asked shocked.

“I don’t know, the Black hood must be back…” I said scared and Sweet Pea wrapped his arm around me. I froze not really knowing why he was doing this.

“Don’t worry, we’ll keep you safe.” Sweet Pea said and they took me on their bikes to Sunnyside Trailer Park.

EGO MAYHEM THEORIES: II

THIS IS PART II. CLICK HERE FOR PART I.

OK FUCKERS LET’S FIRST COVER SOME STUFF:

Jack posted a photo to his instagram with red lights shining on his face as he wore chases shirt and marvin's mask was spotted in the back

he livestreamed some fortnight and @lisasepticsuperplier spotted marvin’s mask hanging on the whiteboard. @maggiemaemoo also noticed and pointed out when he went on a “pee break” the mask went missing. this same mask was on the whiteboard in his new “am i colorblind” video.

it’s important to note that the red lights were in every video between chapter one and the colorblind video.

RGB lights/lens flares in most thumbnails.

he wore a black shirt in every video up until today (5/9) where he switched it out for chases shirt in “try to fall asleep” and a fairly normal tee in “am i colorblind”

i don't think “am i colorblind” is important to our theories at all, i actually think for once we got a normal video? besides the mask, nothing off happens the whole video and there’s no red lights. did jack go back to sleep?

CHAPTER 4: “IT WAS ALL CONNECTED”

"you see a man in front of you. this man looks strange, not like any man you have seen before. suddenly, you realize you were looking in a mirror..."

by this point we know all of the intros are connected/parallel events having to do with jack/the egos. this intro doesn’t end with “stories untold.” it’s likely the case because in game, we learn what the characters “untold” story is- and we start to uncover jacks.

all of his egos have a similar likeness to jack, so he could be referring to coming face to face with any of them. i think, however, this is more of a “i don’t recognize myself” statement. jack has lost his memories, he hasn’t been himself and his subconscious knows. that’s why he doesn’t recognize the man in the mirror, why it looks strange to him. mirrors have been a common theme over time regarding anti/broken!jack, and mirrors were also involved in the second video this day.

i really think jack did a good job choosing stories untold to be The Game(tm) where all this shit goes down. there’s a lot of very obvious connections you can make with jack/the ego’s stories and this game, and i enjoy it a lot. i took some notes while watching the video, it would take to long to expand on them individually so i'll just share this screenshot. it’s a lil messy:

now let’s jump to that ending. i’m still reeling from it; wig evaporated.

i still have NO SOLID IDEA what he could’ve been referring to. does he remember everything or just some things? does he blame schneep or anti? does he remember who everyone is again? SO MANY QUESTIONS! gif credit

@fear-is-nameless pointed out he looks directly at the camera, not through it. almost as if he's talking to someone. i think he’s either talking to us, or talking to schneep/chase considering (i think) they were the ones trying to get him to wake up to begin with.

@no-strings-puppet pulled together the whispers that you can listen to slowed here, slowed and reversed here.

@damienisverygood made a transcript of the whispers, i have a hard time hearing it so i cant rly confirm for 100% that this is accurate, but definitely worth noting.

@monochromemedic had a really interesting theory about schneeps involvement in it all, it’s definitely worth taking a peek at.

@booperdoopcr has a theory that really got me thinking as well.

i really do think someone has been “pulling the strings,” choosing what jack can remember and locking away whatever memories either a, hurt him or b, doesn’t serve their agenda. it’s hard to tell if it’s anti who’s in control of what jack knows or if it’s our doctor.

i don’t think schneep is evil or malevolent. if he’s keeping jack from remembering it’s for jacks health or the well-being of the other egos/himself. it’s an outdated theory that anti thrives off of attention (i can’t remember but i think jack said that wasn’t quite the case) so it would make sense for henrick to lock away memories that involved anti, it would also explain why jack doesn’t remember him (considering he was corrupted last time we saw him). the thing that doesn’t quite add up with this theory is why schneep was so frazzled to see jack playing his role, when he knew jack didn’t remember him or really know what he was doing. schneep looked scared when confronting jack, he knew something was wrong. overnightwatch happened after schneep left for “vacation,” yet jack seems to forget about that too. i don’t dismiss this theory completely, it just leaves a lot of questions.

anti, however, would benefit from jack having amnesia about him. if he doesn’t know who anti is and doesn’t know there’s something fishy going on, he can’t stop it. it would make sense for anti to make jack forget schneep, considering he tried to save him. it also could’ve just been a casualty of trying to get jack to forget everything regarding the glitch demon himself. it would also make sense for schneep to be frazzled in this case when confronting jack, because he likely didn’t know who he was talking to. he recognized jack, but he didn’t know jack. if that makes any sense.

i stand strongly by my theory that memory-lacking jack is just a puppet of antis, being controlled by him without really knowing. schneep has experience with anti, he was likely afraid of the unknown possibilities that stirred around confronting an unstable, unknowing puppet!jack. i honestly believe schneep came back to try to save jack. after he confronted puppet!jack, i think he started some sort of therapy to get him to remember, and had chases help. (like a parallel to the dr. alex/mom and james in the game ya feel?)

@chronically-illustrated pointed out that all of the endings could be a bit of interpretation of what happened to jack over the years. James Ation had a hard time interpreting reality so the truth manifested in complicated and symbolic ways. the outros could’ve symbolized jack’s memories coming back to him/events that have been actively happening.

we see jack “wake up” periodically (i think the jack that remembers is conscious, just locked away, being tortured and watching everything unfold) , leaving hints and cries for help littered here and there. they almost ALWAYS get removed though, seemingly by anti trying to get things back under control. the tags on the DDLC playthroughs that got deleted (canyouhearme, i remember what happened), the entire overnightwatch stream getting deleted (seemingly from memory as well), the random tags showing up on posts only to get deleted later (the sos in morse code). anti doesn’t want jack catching on, he deletes all signs of him he can and all of jacks cries for help while simultaneously taunting us and fucking with us (like overnightwatch as whole). thanks to @fear-is-nameless for reminding me about the tags on DDLC.

no traditional outro or intro

CHECK PLEASE

this video just seemed very off. i don’t have a lot to say about it, but i’ll let my notes sum it up:

i don’t really know what to make of it, other than it’s suspicious as all hell. the red light was in this video as well.

he mentioned magic 6 times, made a blood/knife/threatening comment about 5 times, and got injured/burned twice.

that mirror speech was all fine until he said “you got this- we got this.” i just don't trust like that.

if anything, i think this just helps solidify the idea that memory vacant jack is just a puppet of antis. it might also reveal that anti’s whole plan is to become one with jack and be the foreman (host).

“papa” sounds a lot like anti in the closing scene lmao. i don’t think there’s much to read into, its just something funny. if he is a puppet i wonder if he sees anti as dad?

there IS a traditional outro/intro

TRY TO FALL ASLEEP

i hate this man. i absolutely despise him. im kidding i love him and his creativity and torture knows no bounds. this mother fuck really did this to us.

before even watching the video, i knew we were NOT in the clear, after jack seemingly “waking up” yesterday and then this video? i love hate him.

here are my general notes on the video. i added lines to make it easier to read cos this was a Lot:

i take the notes during my first watch through so i'm sorry for the meaningless comments/reactions throughout.

let’s break this down a lil bit. the video starts off weird. there’s no normal intro, and the red lights are there- just dim (this was brought to my attention from this post by @markired), “jack” fades in through static.

@lizziebirb made this gif where you can see marvins mask show through the static:

then that creepy grin is back as he introduces the game. he stares directly at us as he makes his “speech” about going to sleep. when he makes the comment “when you drift off, that’s when the fun begins,” i half expected to hear anti’s laugh. bone-chilling to say the least.

the character in the game is someone who just went through an accident of some kind, and memory loss is mentioned (another parallel?). jack glosses over that, and instead focuses on brain damage. now hear me out; what if jack doesn’t want to remember? what if he wants to stay asleep because he’s afraid? i feel like due to the theme of the last game egos aside, he normally would’ve pointed it out or made a connection? i could be wrong, im just thinking out loud.

he also, out of place, brought up “why are all these people in my house” which reminded me a lot of a post he reblogged a few days ago.

he says “i don't know if i need a mask” (referring to gas masks in game) but that line stuck out to me, due to the fact two egos have masks and one of them even popped up in this video. the other ego (jbm) we haven't heard almost anything from since this all started.

i found a lot in the TV snow. we see marvin, JJ, and a hidden message. ill link the post with all the pictures here, but i would like to highlight a few screenshots in specific.

in this one, jack’s webcam seems to glitch out when marvin pops up. i don't know if that was something that messed up in the rendering of the video, but it honestly reminds me a lot like the glitches that popped up during the antipocalypse days. with the way the color fades and there seems to be hints of color over his face. i wonder if there’s a second image there we just can’t see?

and then there was this:

i traced over the words, but that’s all i saw. i’ve seen people claim it says “you need to wake up” but i just... don’t see that. it would make sense, but i never see the end of this sentence and i very clearly see an “A” in the 3rd word, so it doesn’t say “need”. it could say “you have to flee,” considering that is the next word we see after this. if that’s the case, who is he fleeing from and why?

it could ALSO be someone telling jack he HAS to wake up. like they’re telling him he doesn’t have a choice, he can't just keep acting like things didn’t happen and put off confronting his memories/his egos. after waking up yesterday, and then this video today, i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s deliberately trying to fall back asleep.

we also see JJ. but why? this is the only time i see him, and as far as i know jack doesn’t even reference him in this video, unlike how he referenced marvin with the abundance of magic-related comments. what’s the significance of JJ being in this video/making an appearance?

he also makes a face worth mentioning after reading the phrase “loose lips spit sekrits.” (i’m p sure it’s spelt that way because in dreams it’s common for things to be a little off, especially words. it wasn’t a typo by the developers, it was deliberate). this face goes entirely full screen and only lasts for about a second. it could be for comedic effect because he thought it was a typo, but it could also be a certain someone throwing some shade, yanno? someone's been slipping us hints, “spitting sekrits,” and another someone is probably not very thrilled about it.

he then makes a comment about “revive” due to the word being on a podium. he picks up a fuse and says, “can the doctor revive me after this” (as JJ pops up on screen) which could be a direct reference to schneep “reviving” jack- or at least his attempts to.

fear was a big theme in this video, he repeated that he “wasn’t afraid” many times even though he was very obviously afraid. i wonder who he was trying to convince he wasn’t afraid? who are we even watching in this video, and who are they trying to prove something to? he breaks the fourth wall towards the end and tells us “no fear, im repeating it so you guys remember it.” does he want us to have no fear, is it important that we aren’t afraid? or is he trying to convince us/whoever he really isn’t afraid, just cautious for our sake?

there were about 5 mentions of magic i caught throughout this video.

no traditional outro/intro

i’ll add more as the days go on, but in another two days (if there’s still ego stuff goin on) i’ll make another one. :D if you have any theories to add lmk by tagging me, messaging them to me, or just replying here ! i’ll throw them in where/if they fit and tag you. thanks for all the positive responses on my first theory post, i hope this one is as helpful. :D

love is so confusing, there’s no peace of mind (the baptism)

OOC NOTE: I am posting this a few days early because of family coming to town this week. Please feel free to reblog this post and respond with a reaction if your character was at the baptism or watching via instagram live. If you have any questions, the best way to reach me for right now will be via direct messaging on tumblr (classicallyclarington). Warnings for death, parental death and body horror.

NOTE ABOUT MECHANICS: Only Hunter and Lawrence can see the illusion created by Hunter’s grandfather. The rest can see Hunter acting strangely.

[ The early morning sunlight was gentle across the rumbling surface of the Hudson River, as if its mother had leaned down to whisper in its ear, with all the patience and affection in the world, “play nicely”. The water was cold, as Hunter stepped into the river from the beach where the rest of the party was seated.

He waded in to where the Cardinal was knelt down, fingertips gliding along the water’s surface. His eyes scanned the crowd to see Wolfie watching with disinterest, Roscoe watching in disbelief. His father and grandfather watching with competing beams; kindness and indifference. No one person in the crowd appeared to be watching the same event as the next. How strange it was.

All was quiet on the Western front. Quinn wasn’t there. Her absence was sitting between Cressida and Ezekiel; the driver.

Hunter knelt in the water beside the Cardinal as he began to speak:

“Welcome all to our service this morning. As you know, you are about to witness the rebirth of Hunter Clarington as a loyal and humble friend of the Lord our God. It is the greatest privilege a man can have, so I thank you for celebrating with Hunter today, and I thank Hunter for having the capacity to choose this role. Let us begin with a prayer.”

Hunter closed his eyes to feign prayer, but mere moments after he did he heard a voice, soft as anything, flitting around the back of his head between his ears. “Mama loves you, Hunter. Daddy loves you.”

Hunter shivered, and as the opening prayer concluded, his eyes slid open again. The Cardinal continued.

“The Apostle Paul tells us about the importance of baptism in Romans 6. He says:” Hunter’s attention waned between the Cardinal’s speech and his surroundings in the chill Manhattan morning. And then, all at once, like the exacted opposite of birth, they fell decidedly to the latter. ““All of us who were baptized into Christ were baptized into his death.”” His mother was floating in the Hudson River. He knew her face in an instant. His mother’s body was floating in the Hudson River. “”We were therefore buried with him into death in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”” There was not an inch of life there, but she looked as though she could blink from sleep at any moment. Oh god.

Hunter looked around frantically, but no one else at the ceremony appeared to be moved by the materialization of the long drowned empath.

No one but Lawrence Clarington, who knew full well what was going on. Lawrence leaned over to his father to whisper, without taking his eyes off the scene, “You’re relentless.”

“Where do you think you got it from?”

The crowd began to mutter and shift as Hunter moved off his knees, bypassing the Cardinal. Only he and his fathers before him knew that there was a purpose to the excursion; he sunk down in the murky water once again to gather the body close to his chest. His breathing became all at once very shallow, and his face twisted up with the gentle strength of agony as she draped, slack, around him, and his hand came up to the back of her head to soothe her violent death.

“I’m suh- ah- ssss- suh- I’m - so - sorry. For every-thing. Oh g-od.” He wept.

The Cardinal was patient; he simply followed Hunter over and slid his hand along the top of his back once more. As Hunter began to sputter helplessly, he watched with kind eyes and, after several moments, looked out to the crowd.

“It is distressing. Perhaps the most distressing task of all. In the act of baptism we identify ourselves with the death of Jesus Christ.” He explained. Beside him, Hunter was now pulling away from his mother ever so slightly to look at her face and cry. His thumb stroked over her cheek and he stifled the sob that threatened to tear out of him by pressing a kiss to her forehead, hand cradling her head.

“But also with His resurrection; a glorious promise of peace everlasting.” The Cardinal comforted, projecting to the crowd, “As we are immersed in the water we die, and as we emerge we are raised in new life in Christ.”

She looked so young. She couldn’t have been much older than Hunter when...

Lawrence shifted in his seat as he watched his son with his mother, agonizing, mourning what he’d never known. “For the love of the Ancients, dad,” He whispered, almost weakly, hardly a breath, “He’s had enough. Let him go.”

“Him?” Severus replied, glancing to his son, “Or you?”

Tears rolled down Hunter’s face as the service continued, but he tried to at least mostly regain his composure, knowing how it must’ve looked to the audience at the event and on the cameras. He just held her close and cried as quietly and with as little facial wobbling as he could, training his breaths to a slow tremble.

“This new life is marked by several items. From this day forward,” The Cardinal said, “Hunter Henry Clarington is Committed to Christ. He has married himself to the will of God - through thick and thin, for richer and poorer - for life. He has henceforth entered into a Covenant relationship with Christ’s church, and he has been Commissioned to use his strengths, weaknesses, time, money, and talents - of which there are many - for the Kingdom of God. Hunter; have you accepted Jesus as your savior and come to believe that he died for your sins?”

“Yes,” Hunter whispered, still looking at his mother’s face. Then he remembered himself and repeated the word to the crowd, loud enough that they could hear. The Cardinal’s hand reached through her torso to take Hunter’s. It was dizzying.

“And it is your desire today to make that belief public by being baptized?”

“Yes.”

“Then it is my privilege to baptize you in the name of the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit.”

Hunter was crying when he went into the water. It was cold, and he sank with the weight of two bodies. When he re-emerged, he wasn’t crying anymore. His face had relaxed, and while he couldn’t call himself contented, he wouldn’t have called it agony either. Something new. Something changed.

Something fundamental.

He rose from his knees as the crowd clapped politely and the Cardinal began to close in prayer. He picked his mother’s limp body up as he did so, and walked from the rushing waters of the Hudson with her drooping in his arms.

“We thank God for Hunter’s faith and this step of obedience in their walk together.”

Hunter stood before his father.

“We ask God to continue to guide and direct Hunter as he seeks to follow Him.”

He didn’t look down at the body anymore. His gaze burned into his father’s, and Lawrence stared back, feigning stoicism while feeling suddenly faint. It must have felt like an eternity that they were staring at one another, without a word. Both of them were stirred, not by the ghast of death but by the blinding furiousity of love.

“And we ask God to use Hunter’s life as a witness to friends and family members and co-workers and neighbors of God’s power to change our lives so that others will be drawn to Christ by the difference they see in Hunter Clarington.”

Then, Lawrence Clarington went out like a light. He collapsed to the ground, eliciting a gasp from the rest of the crowd on the beach.

Freya Henry disappeared from Hunter’s grasp.

The live feed cut out. ]

I can't wait to hear what you've got to say about hacf 4x06!!

i take back what i said about it not being sad, that was only true for the first half of the episode, the next 20 minutes were uninterrupted sadness. Since you’re kindly inviting me to talk about my many feelings (@wuschwusch DO NOT read this until you’ve watched the episode) here they are:

donna! this episode was mostly about her and i’m gonna need at least a week to process everything. but here are my first impressions.

her first conversation with joanie genuinely had me in tears. honestly i’m a little mad at the writers for ruining this for joanie (AND FOR ME, this conversation was so beautiful). it’s a very effective way to introduce us to donna’s problem with alcohol though.

i liked that it showed us a way in which alcohol can hurt you that is non-violent. it didn’t make her aggressive, it didn’t make her mean at all, and yet with just one repeated conversation with her daughter we were able to grasp the severity of the situation.

donna singing/crying while driving at night, i feel you girl. gordon picking her up at the police station, in a complete reversal of their first scene together was a very nice touch too. the fact that gordon is the only person in her life that can be there for her right now however… is just sad. donna needs friends and a hug and cameron and there’s only four episodes left and i’m worried.

it seems like donna’s fear of not being brave enough, not being fearless enough was a big theme this episode. which brings the question of what does she want that she thinks she’s not being brave enough to go after? the answer seems to be cameron and it makes me happy that at least she’s on the path to realizing she needs her to be happy, but also it breaks my heart.

which brings me to: donna repeating ‘i can’t, i can’t, i can’t’ when diane told her to go see cameron…. who else cried? WHO ELSE IS STILL CRYING?

donna saying to that dude Community was the most fun she had in her life, echoing cameron’s words to her three years ago… god this show.

cameron also had some interesting development this episode.

she has a fansite!!!! i love this.

i love how calm this episode was for her, yet just like that she’s back on track. it was huge development, yet very… quiet, in a way. somehow it’s fitting, because it flows naturally from everything that happened before. this show is very good.

her ‘are you okay?’ to donna!!!! the fact that donna was about to answer before being interrupted. kerry bishé’s acting in that scene was incredible. i’ll probably talk more about this scene later on but for now i’m honestly speechless. donna and cam’s story is the best love story on this show, and so far it’s a tragedy.

it’s official haley is a baby gay and I’VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.

i love everything about this. i loved joe’s face when he realized haley had it bad for this girl. i loved that he didn’t out haley to her dad yet he still tried to leave some hints here and there- ‘she has different interests’, ‘she’s a little bit like me’ because he knows gordon and he knows he will need a little help to get there. i loved gordon finally realized because of the girl’s bird tattoo!! which… haley is SO gay.

haley and her crush are friends now!! (at least?). considering she didn’t even dare talk to her when we first met her, it means A LOT happened that we didn’t see, and i’m a little sad we missed it.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, giving a bigger role to haley and joanie this season is one of the best things this show ever did. i don’t remember his exact words but, at the beginning of the episode joe looks at a video of haley on his camera and marvels at how just yesterday she was so small and now here they are. IT’S EXACTLY HOW THIS SEASON MAKES ME FEEL about joanie and haley, and it’s a wonderful feeling to have about fictional characters, really wonderful.

i do not get diane, i really don’t. to be fair we never really got to know her, so i can’t say what she’s doing is out of character, but we’re meeting a different side of her and it’s not the best side.

her asking Bos to marry her was really touching, but obviously they have A LOT to sort out and i’m not sure where all of this is going.

her friendship with donna is… barely a friendship at all. and it’s true their relationship was always a professional one, the fact that years later it’s still not more than that was a pretty good indication right from the start that they’re not that compatible as people. Still, taking donna’s project and giving it to whatshisname of all people? seems unnecessarily harsh.

and then there was some joe stuff about wanting children? honestly i think i’ll wait until the show is over before i comment on any joe and joe/cameron stuff. because there’s what i see on the show and what i understand from the show, which is something i like. and then there’s all the speculation i can’t help making about what the writers are doing with joe, how they might be seeing the joe/cam pairing and it colors my perception of it all pretty negatively. it all comes down to… this show is unpredictable and ultimately i’ve watched enough shows to know i don’t trust male writers with male characters like joe. and while i love almost everything they’ve done so far, i can’t be sure they won’t end it on a note that will ruin most of it for me. so i’ll just wait and see on this one.

#this show is so good at creating drama #just from four people trying to live their lives and be happy #halt and catch fire #spoilers #Anon

Happy FIRST Birthday!!

My Dear Baby Emmy,

Happy FIRST Birthday, my sweet girl! You are ONE today! I can hardly believe it!

This has been the very best year of my life, and your Daddy would say the same. You've helped us grow in ways we never imagined possible. In a way, we both grew together over the past year. You learned many things, and I learned many things. You ebbed and I flowed, and in many ways, you taught me more than I taught you.

And here you are, one year old already -- a lively, beautiful baby girl and you're bigger than life, darling. You're curious, super smart, persistent you know what you want, fearless (your Daddy calls you "wild child"), strong and so happy.

I still remember the first day you were born. Family members were in and out of our hospital room all day, it felt like such a whirlwind. That evening, the nurse took you to the nursery so you and I could both get some sleep. When she returned with you a few hours later I was so excited to see you. It was the middle of the night and quiet in our hospital room. Only you and I were awake. You opened your eyes and gazed at me. I had never seen anyone or anything more beautiful. And in that second, I learned what unconditional love meant. To this day, each morning I stare at you in the baby monitor as you sleep, so peacefully. The best part of my day is when you wake up. I come into your room and get you out of your crib, look in your eyes and I'm reminded of that love and this amazing adventure we get to go on together.

I asked your family members to put together some thoughts for you on your birthday, and here's what everyone had to say:

What do you remember about the day Emmy was born? • Daddy: I remember a lot about the day Emilie was born. Mommy and I woke up early and got the hospital first thing in the morning. I think it was about 5:30 in the morning. I remember being so excited and nervous about what was going to happen. I thought I had prepared myself for what was going to happen, but when it all started I could believe how fast it all went. They wheeled Mommy down to the operating room to perform the c-section. There were massive bright lights and a large team of about 10 people there to deliver Emmy. Once the Doctors started Emmy showed up in what seemed like only moments. Mommy was comfortable and happy and we both cried with joy when we first met Emilie. Emmy cried too and we very excited we had a happy and healthy baby girl. The grandparents waited outside and couldn’t wait to meet their new granddaughter. I also remember when we brought Emmy home. She hated her carseat and was the first true meltdown she had. It was the “oh shit, can we handle this?” moment. • Uncle Brad: It was election season. • Papa & Gigi: Today is your First Birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRECIOUS LITTLE ONE!! One year ago, we were at the hospital around 8 a.m., with your other grandparents, cell phones in hand, waiting to hear from your daddy announcing your birth. We kept waiting and wondering what was happening, because to us, it was taking so long. Soon we got the word that indeed you were born, healthy and perfect. We all hugged, cried with joy and breathed a sigh of relief, thanking God for this precious little miracle he had blessed us all with. Then we started to get some pictures, and heard your name, for the first time...."Emilie Harper Eckard"!! After some special time with your mama and daddy we were allowed to come see you . We all hugged and cried again and took turns holding and cuddling you with sheer amazement and delight. That day all our lives changed ,( for the better) for you had been born into our family and forever nothing would be the same! We love you with all our hearts, Papa and Gigi • Maria: When I met you, Angela, for the first time, I felt a happiness and elation that was beyond measure. It was as if a huge puzzle piece had slid into place and I was finally complete. But the day I met Emmy, and held her in my arms for the very first time, the emotions I felt are simply unnamable. Here was this stunningly beautiful creature that was here because of me. And for reasons I can't begin to explain or understand, I was blessed beyond measure to have the privilege of holding her, the honor of being in her life and getting to watch her grow up! Words just can't do justice to the depth of emotions I felt that day, but it's a day that I will remember for the rest of my life!! Describe a fun or favorite memory you have of Emmy's first year • Daddy: So many memories. I’ll never forget the first steps you took on July 10th, 2017. We were playing in your new playroom and you were hanging on the baby swing. You turned around and walked straight to me! I’ll also remember the first time you rolled over and Mommy and I got too excited and you started balling. • Uncle Brad: Cheeks, very large cheeks. • Mommy: Daddy and I are always so excited when do you do something for the first time. The first time you said Dada, the first time you said Mama, the first time you crawled, your first bite of ice cream, but one of my favorite "firsts" was the time you rolled over. We knew it was coming for a few days so Daddy had his Go Pro camera out and ready while you two were practicing. Before we knew it, you had slowly rolled over! Daddy and I let out a squeal of excitement so loud that it scared you, you rolled back and started crying! Another favorite memory I'll always cherish was our first family trip to Florida! I was so excited to take you to the beach, and it was every bit as fun as I imagined. We walked on the beach and you felt the sand between your toes. You watched as the waves came crashing in on the shore. We swam in the pool and had the best time just the three of us. What do you think Emmy will be when she grows up? • Daddy: Emmy is going to be very smart, hardworking and travel the world. I think she’ll be a successful business person. Maybe in marketing – selling as seen on TV products just like her dad wants to! Or maybe she’ll be in the fashion industry introducing the latest trends to the world. • Uncle Brad: a pilot • Gigi & Papa: Emmy, I don't know what you will be when you grow up, but whatever you CHOOSE to be, YOU CAN BE . Never let anyone or anything stifle your dreams. You may fail or have set backs but try try again. Our short comings make us stronger, fighters for our beliefs, and firm in our commitments. I know your mom and dad will instill the virtues of honesty, trust, belief in oneself, belief in God, love of family, and so many more moral and life lessons. Listen to your heart and treat others fairly. With your mom and dad guiding you, and with God always by your side, you will succeed. So DREAM BIG little one… I hope I will be around to hug, kiss and congratulate you on your accomplishments!! I know you will make us proud! • Mommy: When we're out and about, you love people watching. You give even strangers the biggest, gummy smiles and giggles. Your favorite thing is to engage with other people and make them smile :) When you grow up, I think you'll be into theatre or acting, or maybe a doctor or nurse. • Maria: A leader. In what field I can't say yet, but Emmy already has such charisma!! She has such an exuberant way about her that people will just naturally follow her. I can't wait to watch where she goes in life!!! Describe what the world is like when Emmy turns 21 • Daddy: It’s hard to think that 2038 will be here soon. People will have landed on Mars. Cars drive themselves and no one remembers when phones had actual buttons. Kids get cell phones (or whatever the next type of device is) in kindergarten and learn how to code instead of foreign languages. Paper money is rarely used and a fingerprint can be used to pay almost everywhere. • Uncle Brad: The Cubs had their title revoked due to a pine tar jar found in the mayor's car. The Blues are still not getting past the 2nd round. No one's shirt is untucked, ever… Trump Jr. is President and about 10% of the human race is living on Mars where Canada now resides. • Gigi & Papa: Dear Emmy, When you turn "21", I am certain the world will be very different than when I grew up and even more so than even today. Technology is taking over. Lots of things I grew up using are now obsolete. Some things are for the best, but I cannot say that for everything. Everything will be ordered on line. Cars will drive and park themselves. Fingerprints will be the chosen form of identification. Maybe you will live on the moon or at least travel there! That sounds pretty cool. As you get older, it's hard to accept change. Us senior citizens dwell in the past and sometimes shun progress. Life is what YOU make it! Kudos to you young folk who see the world differently and challenging . How ever the world is, Make it the best it can be for you and your loved ones and be happy! Love you "21 year old" • Mommy: There are driverless cars, we are traveling and vacationing in space, cancer will be cured, computers will surpass human intelligence, cable tv will be gone and replaced by on-demand tv, virtual reality gaming will allow for multiple people across the world to play games in real life, health treatments are genetically tailored, healthcare will be a team effort between you and your Dr, with education playing a big role, technology will keep your Dr updated on your health in between office visits. First Birthday wishes for Emmy • Daddy: I wish that Emmy has another great year of learning, fun and happiness. I can’t wait to hear the words you learn next and playing with you gets more fun every day. I love you! • Uncle Brad: Happy Birthday Emmy! Can't wait to watch you grow up and fly our space craft to Mars! • Auntie Jocelyn: Emmy, I cannot believe you are turning one! You have been such a blessing to all of us. Seeing your Mom become your Mommy has truly been one of the most beautiful things to witness. I wish I lived closer to you, but I know things will change soon and we will be able to see you more! I hope this next year brings you all the love and happiness in the world. You are the most beautiful little baby and I could not be more blessed to be your auntie! Happy Birthday baby girl! I love you! • Mommy: Dear Emmy, On your first Birthday and each of your coming Birthdays, I wish you all the wonderful things that life has to offer: love, laughter, cake (and ice cream), adventures, great friendships, passion, hopes and dreams that are realized. I love you so much! • Maria: Emmy, may you always know how much you are loved by so many! Happy birthday, sweetest girl ever!!!
