Pls the withdrawal has come to the point that I even miss han seok's deranged ass

#im a han seo stan this is unacceptable #i blame taecyeon #he has too much charsima even as a villain #especially as a villain actually #im beginning to wish we had gotten more of his backstory (and han seo's) #like their dynamics with their specific mothers #we can infer that han seok was a mama's boy (and most likely so was han seo before he was sent to his father) #then again based om what we hear about their father maybe that's a given #also it would have been cool to get some actual context surrounding the whole han seok x cha young thing #they had a v fun dynamic when he was junwoo and it's sad that the buildup to that and the effects of their eventual fallout was glossed over #bc when he confessed to her in ep 19 i was just like ???? #we knew he liked her bc they told us but they didnt show us the reasons why enough for that confession to be impactful #but yea #i enjoyed both jang brothers' characters from the beginning #still think han seok is a bitchass but i appreciate his character's role in the story #and he's played by taecyeon so there's that definite plus #vincenzo #kdrama #2pm taecyeon

let's talk about confession scenes

i've seen a lot of people, both on tumblr and twitter say that we won't get a confession scene. but in reality, i believe this whole episode today WAS a confession scene. it was them confessing to each other in every way they can.

these past 19 episodes have made it so clear that both cha-young and vincenzo's love language is acts of service, not words of affirmation. that's why we very rarely see them explicitly say "good job" or even regular compliments you would give to a partner or a friend. instead, it's expressed in small touches, grand gestures and gifts for vincenzo and cha-young's energy and attitude that shows how much they care about each other. but in episode 19, we saw them repeatedly gravitate towards each other, a lot more than in previous episodes.

at the beginning of the show, when they are on the rooftop, we see them discussing love and family. vincenzo says to her that "he fell in love with this place" and "he prefers love with no reason" and cha-young replies saying that "he's trying to make it sound romantic when they both know it isn't." now, the scene from ep 19 is an absolute parallel to this one. visually, both are wearing blue, looking out over the plaza, after saving the plaza and it's residents once more.

she asks him whether he came back for her and he never denies it, and they talk a little about how he paid them off so they don't attack his italian family (similar to how in the earlier scene, cha-young talks about how he paid for the party and protected the plaza in korea). but when cha-young talks about how grateful she is that he's back in one piece, the scene completely shifts (as they shift towards each other) and they're flirting. she refers back to the party and says "he looked cool, just like in that suit that only i had heard about that day" and he pauses as he says "i'm glad i met..." and there's a brief moment where you can tell cha-young expects a "you" at the end of the sentence but he opts to imply it instead. here they're taking something that isn't romantic from a glance and making it sound romantic because it's meaningful to each other. both of them are expressing their gratitude to each other.

(side note: just rewatching that scene while writing this makes me remember just how much tension they had between each other, especially the way he looked at her when she recognized boolaro, he might have married her on the spot)

as the episode continues, we see them interact with ease and playfulness, and the joy of not having to be parted from each other (cha-young teasing vincenzo and not intervening when mr. nam hugs him). he's looking through paperwork when he notices cha-young working and observes that she's tired from a distance, then offering her a kopiko. we see both of them leaning over the residents as they through paper in celebration of the win, standing much closer and sharing very meaningful looks as they fist bump. we also get a scene where they're drinking a coffee by water and similar to how in the earlier episodes cha-young would ask about the mafia with curiosity, vincenzo mirrors that while asking her about korea.

one of my favorite scenes, was by that water, where she confesses how even when he leaves "vincenzo cassano will be more than just a memory" which is a confession in her own way. she's confessing to him about how much of an impact he's had on her life, her mind and ultimately in her heart. and he replies to her that he doesn't make promises to just anyone but for her, he promises that he'll come back. i interpreted it as him replying that he'll always come back for her and that he won't have to be a memory for her. and she taps his coffee cup and he taps back, almost like she's asking for a pinky promise that he'll be back. we also can note that his gaze lingers on her a little longer and we can see him swallow his words one more, ones that might have been more explicitly confessing.

not to mention the date the coffee shop scene where he double checks with her if she's okay joining her in the journey punishing han seok. it shows that he's taken the care to notice how much it affected her when they killed their "hunting dogs" and he's giving her a way out, and wanting to protect her (yes im excluding the "virtue" bit bc i think thats bs). time and time again, we're seeing them care for each other and push each other outside comfort zones while ensuring that they're still alright with pushing.

and of course, the jealous!husband scene we got. does this even need any elaboration? to me, it felt like 2 people dancing around each other when both of them know the other likes them. almost like a talking stage or a stage where both know the other person's feelings but neither of them have made a move.

and finally, we get han seok (that crazy bitch) kidnapping. the panic and shock as Vincenzo sees the earrings and connects them to cha-young and the frantic way he races to her, without even knowing where exactly he's headed. and we have cha-young who says "don't use me to hurt him, just kill me instead." cha-young cares more about vincenzo's emotions, and is willing to die rather than see han seok use her to hurt him. the relief in vincenzo's eyes and the breath he leaves when he's reassured that cha-young is alive. he rushes towards her when he sees her, and swallows when he realizes she's all tied up and kneeling. and there's a moment of silent communication between them where she nods her head no. with vincenzo, it takes all the rage within him not to check on cha-young when she's slapped. i had mentioned this before but the moment he kneels and allows himself to be killed with little hesitation, says how much he cares for cha-young. how much he loves cha-young. the way he races immediately towards cha-young the moment he gets the chance and frees her.

and of course, the moment she gets shot, you'll notice the moment is completely quiet, just the gunshot, because to vincenzo that's all he's processed. it takes him touching her wound and having her collapse into his arms for him to process the pain and shock and anger of seeing her hurt. the way his eyes show so much pain as he watches cha-young and the way he hold her as she sags against him. everything about the way he looks, the guttural, shocked sound he lets out, to the way he holds her screams out how much he loves her.

the finger-flick scenes were when they seeing each other in a clearer light, the kiss scenes solidifying that there is something more there and the departure scene showing that they're tied to each other. and now the kneeling is solidifying that they love each other. they are willing to die for each other and kneel even against someone that took their blood family away from them to save the other. time and time again in this episode they're confessing and showing just how much they care and love each other.

(disclaimer: some of these might be a stretch but you know! it's my last day to clown guys)

vincenzo ranting here cause ep 19 had me pulling my hair out. (spoilers and long post so if u are not updated please just scroll).

i've seen people say that vincenzo and chayoung are just good friends and romance would ruin it and at certain point i could agree, if it wasn't for the fact that their relationship developed to something even stronger and we were able to grasp that.

"there wasn't even a confession", i need u guys to understand that this isn't a typicial and neither a romance drama, their relationship was built in the middle of something (crazy) else going on, it just kinda happened when no one of them expected it, when i look back to the scene vincenzo asks chayoung if she would cut ties with him if she found out he murdered people and she say no but it would make them distant and think of her coming to terms that it was necessary given the circumstances, i can clearly see where their bond started to become solid. Now as of for why they haven't admitted VERBALLY or to each other that there's romantic feelings i think it's quite obvious but for some reason people are slow to understand: as for him , he got used to the fact he couldn't be with anyone given the life he has always lived was too dangerous to have someone he cared for so much it could be distracting (even a weakness) so he believes it's safe to HER that he supress the feeling and act as friends, as seen when he made a promise to her that he would come back and now him getting on his knees in order to save her from his enemy, HE who not long ago was saying he was known for being someone who "plays w their food"? a mafia member?? A CLEAR reference to his unspoken fear of losing her. even if he considered chayoung as his dearest friend, that much loyalty doesn't seem to come from from being besties come on now!

As to chayoung, she has come to terms that she needs to supress her feelings for him cause 1. he's a mafia member after all and the things he does don't align w her "principles", she learned to accept him and his ways but she knows what he's capable of. 2. she knows he will leave the country, i've honestly lost count of how many times she asked him if he was leaving after his business there was finished and to add that i believe this is some short of play on writing (maybe a foreshadow) bc he even said "i stayed partially bc of you" and in this ep he didn't even deny when chayoung said "you came back for me". (which was also interesting cause he would rather pay a huge amount of money to not go back to italy just so he could save her and the tenants ). she knows he will leave so in order to protect herself she tries brush off what she feels to not end up heartbroken and alone but miss m'am is willing to take a bullet to save him just like a regular bestie would, right?

Thinking about it reasonably: them as friends, sharing the gold w the geumga tenants and meeting casually after would be the safe way to have a happy ending BUT the goddamn writers had to toy w that and song joong ki and jeon yeobin HAD to have an insane chemistry on top of it. there's so many scenes i could break it down to explain why there's no way these two are not madly in love w each other but to me regardless of them staying as friends or finally coming clear as lovers, it's a very interesting and beautiful relationship and will feel kinda empty not having eps to look forward to after the finale.

Spike wasn't usually the person, who confessed their feelings at any given moment. He wasn't even the person who admitted having them.

But while thinking of Rory, he could have sworn his heart skipped a beat with every glance taken.

It was in the way she talk about the most ridiculous and most pointless things. It was in the way she spoke about the songs, she was planning to made him listen to. It was in the way she bite her lips when focused on work, gently tapping her pencil on the paper as she was planning out the repair plan of their ship.

And it was in the way they had kissed two days ago.

After their small bicker, per usual that day, the two of them hadn't talked much about their future. Instead, they both silently settled on figuring the unspoken thing, they had going on on their way, not rushing into becoming anything more. Both broken from their previous relationship, both having the equal problem with expressing their emotions by words, they agreed on seeing how the things would go. Nothing else.

Yet, Spike Spiegel, the seemingly emotionless Bounty Hunter, couldn't stop thinking about the feeling he had experienced while kissing her. It was almost like someone softly whispered to his ear that it was time to wake up from his never-ending dream.

As Jet was hanging the clean pieces of fabrics, he had recently washed, Spike sat on the edge of the ship, a fishing pole in his hands. Faye had vanished once again, leaving the crew of Bebop all to themselves. They hadn't been on the hunt since god knows when; and with that came the lack of money they had to bear with.

Rory stepped into the deck of the ship, instantly thanking herself for deciding to wear today the top Faye convinced her to buy the other day. It was a bright green tank top with frills, certainly not Rory's first choice, hence, it did not suit her general taste in clothing — practical and plain. Yet, today was finally the day she could wear it without any consequences; it was a hot after all. And she wasn't planning on leaving the ship either way.

Walking past Jet, her top and jeans shorts on, she put on her sunglasses and sat on the towel, a magazine in her hands.

"Hey, kid! Since when do you dress so..," Jet started casually, genuinely curious about her choice of clothing, yet he stopped himself rapidly. "Spike, I do not like the look of yours!" He scolded him, noticing him eyeing Rory's appearance.

"Huh? Don't know what you're talking about," the dark-haired man answered, almost like he was completely innocent and unaware of his actions.

"Jet, you're not my dad, calm down," Rory laughed, opening the first page of her magazine she had brought.

"Haven't you seen how he looked you?" Jet became indignant, stopping for a moment hanging the laundry.

"Your eyes are failing you, old man," she responded, feeling something blocking her sun. Soon she realized it was not something but someone.

"Since when are you becoming Faye?" Spike asked, glancing over the thing she was reading.

"You're quite an observant man, Spike, yet, your deduction skills are still poor," Rory answered, sighing. "It's a motor magazine, I'm looking at the newest versions of engines 'cause my Starman is behaving quite badly lately," she explained, continuing to look at the pages.

"Of course, what else would it be," he chuckled, taking off his jacket. "Cover up yourself, woman. You're apparently a bad influence on our ex-cop," he added, putting the fabric over her shoulders.

"Hey! I've heard that!"

"What are you doing later?" Rory whispered, taking off her sunglasses. Was she trying to look seductive? Certainly not, hence her hair completely covered her eyes, while the wind unexpectedly blew.

"Why are you asking?" Spike challenged her, raising up one of his brows. He absolutely loved to bicker with her.

"No reason. Although you can say I miss my pillows," she added, referring to the time she came back to the ship with a hangover and a black eye.

"See? That's why philanthropism does not pay off," he laughed, returning to his fishing.

Rory giggled, back to her reading. She could not possibly express how happy she was, due to the latest events that had occurred two days ago. Despite they had only kissed once, she felt absolutely thrilled at the memory they now shared. It was unbelievably calming; knowing that she didn't have to hide her feelings, she didn't have to act oblivious to his actions. Yet, to be honest, she hadn't thought she could ever loved someone as much as she did the first time — the person being the boy she ran away, Jack. Although he had unbelievably hurt her, and because of that she was unable to fully devote her affection to the other person, there was something on the back of her head telling her she should. She shouldn't have to worry about her past and she simply could allow herself to trust someone again.

Thirty minutes later, Rory picked up belongings to get back to Bebop, plainly because her stomach was begging her to eat something. How big was her surprise, when she came to the living area, only to see Jet and Spike debating whether or not they should open a mysterious package they had just supposedly received. Silently eating a sandwich, Rory approached the yellow couch Spike was sitting on, just to hear Jet screaming at him as he started opening the box wrapped in some paper.

"What the hell is it?" Spike mumbled to himself, looking closer at the black rectangle thing.

"It's not ticking like it's about to blow?" Jet furrowed his brow, making Rory burst in laugh.

"You're so uncultured. That's a—," Rory started, only to be interrupted by Ed's cheerful voice, claiming she had found some data.

As Jet went to check the origins of the package they got from an odd company, Rory leaned over the couch, shoving the remains of her sandwich into her mouth.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing?" Rory called, only now noticing that Spike was utterly destroying the black box.

"Uh? Investigating? You know what is it?" Spike replied, quite perplexed.

"Yes! And you're absolutely ruining the thing!" Her squeal made Jet turn back, his confusion almost as big as Spike's "Give me a pencil," Rory ordered, taking the small black box out of his hands.

"I don't have a pencil," he plainly replied, still not knowing why Rory was blabbering so much.

"It's a video tape," she explained, searching for the wanted thing under their coffee table. She smiled in victory as she finally found it.

"Oh, an antique," Jet nodded, returning to the couch his crew mates were sitting on.

"Hey, it wasn't that long ago when people stopped using them," she replied, putting the pencil in one of the holes of the video tape to fix the tape Spike pulled out.

"Or maybe you're just outdated," the dark-haired man laughed, gaining a warning stare from her.

"Why did we get it anyways?" Rory ignored the comment, focused on her task.

"It was addressed to Faye," Jet explained to her, setting in the couch opposite of her.

"We should see what's on it," Spike stated nonchalantly.

"Don't you think it's invading her privacy?" Rory asked, finished with fixing the tape.

"Nah, she doesn't care either ways," he shrugged, getting an elbow nudge from Rory.

"That doesn't mean it's inappropriate!" She yelled, knowing that the tape could contain something highly private or sensitive.

"Since when do you care about appropriation?" Spike smirked, raising his brows, making Rory instantly blush.

"Hey! Quit that! I don't fucking like it at all!" Jet interrupted them, his stare piercing right through them. "Oh, and by the way. We've got to talk what the hell is going on here," he added, making an odd hand gesture while pointing towards the two of them.

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing," Rory answered, avoiding the gaze of the two men.

"Sure, kiddo. Like I haven't noticed."

~.~

"Oh, it's almost like Christmas," Rory whispered in awe as soon as they walked into the old video store later that day. "I'm a sucker for those things," she added, glancing over the cassettes and video players that were located inside of the building.

"Sure you are, grandma," Spike mocked her, noticing the amusement of her expression.

"Oh, can you stop it for a moment," she complained, kneeling in front of one of the shelves as Spike and Jet went further into the shop. "Hey! Is that jukebox for sale?" Rory called towards the owner, yet received no answer, hence he was looking completely mesmerized at the sight of the thing he was watching on an old TV.

"He-Hey! You can't do that!" The seller's yell filled the whole shop as he had just noticed Spike smoking inside. Soon after his series of complains, Spike put out his cigarette, utterly smashing it onto one of the video players. "What are you thinking?! What the hell do you guys want here?! What do you have against me?!" He screamed, almost like in the state of convulsions.

"Shit. We're terribly sorry, man," Rory apologized the owner as she approached them.

"No, we're not," Spike mumbled, his expression as unapologetic as ever.

"He's an idiot, don't mind him," she added, looking at Spike with her eyes squinted.

"Hey, watch your tongue," he warned her with a smirk on his face as the ship owner's eyes glowed while he spoke with Jet.

"You're stupid," she whispered to him, observing the video that had been just playing.

"You're stupider," he replied with an attitude, subconsciously getting closer to her. God, how badly he wanted to kiss her, just to shut her up.

Their pointless bicker was finished as soon as the TV screen became blank for a moment, only to cover in grain. Although Rory hadn't got the right experience when it came to the old-fashioned video tapes she suddenly realized what was happening.

"The tape is messed up!" The shop owner called turning to the player just to see...

...Spike smashing it with his feet.

With the quiet squeal of the owner, Rory froze, watching what the Bounty Hunter was doing with disbelief.

"That isn't helping, Spike," Jet stated calmly, his posture relaxed.

"My precious baby! What has he done to you?!" The man rapidly kneeled in front of the thing, looking almost like he was about to cry. "You're have to pay for it, you bastard!" He angrily shouted, getting up to face Spike and trying to look threatening. However, had just realized his actions were pointless, hence he was significantly taller than him.

"Nah, I don't think so," he quickly answered, turning on his heel to leave the building.

"Spike! Hey, Spike!" Rory called after him, instantly catching up and leaving Jet and the owner alone in the store. "Are you out of your mind?" Her addition made him chuckle as he lit another cigarette when they found themselves outside.

"He was annoying," he softly explained, his composure completely differing from Rory's.

"And you were a dick!" she argued, relating to the owner's reaction.

"Sorry, not my problem," he responded, leaning over the wall.

"I truly can't believe you are such a—!"

Spike interrupted her with smashing his lips on hers, a cigarette still in his hand. Rory's irritation suddenly faded away as she deepen the kiss, allowing herself to close her eyes and enjoy the feeling of his tender touch.

"You good now?" Spike nonchalantly asked, returning to his smoking as he observed Rory's confused stare.

"Yeah," she whispered without thinking, yet his cocky smile brought her back to the reality. "No! I'm still mad at you!" Rory quickly corrected herself, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of winning their argument.

"You didn't seem to be," he mocked her, his grin widening.

"Ugh! I hate you so fucking much!" Rory yelled, internally agreeing with him — and she hated herself for that reason now.

"Really?" Spike continued joking, only to notice Jet coming back with the video tape in his hands.

"And what happened here?"

~.~

"Me! Me! Me! Go, me! Don't you lose! Don't you lose! Me! Me! Me!"

"Shit," Rory mumbled under her breath, sitting absolutely awe-struck on the bright yellow couch in the living area.

During the past couple of hours a lot happened; Jet and Spike went for a search of a working video player, only to receive a package from the same company that before with the thing they wanted. Ed spoke with Faye and, somehow, convinced her to come back on the ship. Valentine returned with her usual obnoxious attitude, bickering with almost everyone.

But then, the video started playing. It showed a compilation of a little girl from the nineties, which everyone recognized as young Faye Valentine. As the woman froze in place, noticing that, in fact, it was her in her early years, Jet, Spike and Rory almost immediately regretted watching the tape. It was harsh seeing a person who now had no memories of her upbringing. And although Rory firstly hoped she could find herself in her situation; no past, easier future, she quickly realized Faye must have been utterly confused. The memories made Rory who she was today, she couldn't imagine having no sense of them.

The living room was completely silent. No one had said a word.

As the tape ended everyone decided to leave, Rory included. She was going to do the thing she always needed while thinking — devote herself to the work. So, Rory, tools in her hands, metal parts awaiting to be fixed, put a cassette to the slot of her Walkman and began to work. It had always surprised her how she adapted the family tradition of listening to the music on the artificial device. The Walkman firstly belonged to the grandma, her father's mother when she was a teen in the early nineties. Then, Mr. Ray obtained the music player, his taste being the hits of the seventies and sixties, almost like returning to the past. Next, Rory purchased her own cassettes with Ultimate David Bowie Hits and some alternative music from the mid-eighties.

Rory suddenly stopped working, her eyes beginning to glow as the most brilliant idea sparked in her mind. Speeding into her room, she grabbed the cassettes that once belonged to her grandma, her smile widening with every second more.

"Faye! Faye!" Rory called enthusiastically as she ran to the woman's room, only to notice her wiping the tears of her face. "Fuck," she mumbled, realizing what was the probable cause of Faye's current state.

Rapidly kneeling down, Rory dropped her cassettes on the plain mattress, getting on her knees to hug Valentine. She felt deeply touched by the video she saw; knowing it was probably her place to comfort Faye — Jet would have never done that, neither Spike, and Ed... was just Ed.

"So? Have you finally kissed him?" Faye sobbed, wanting to quickly change the subject just not to experience Rory being concerned about her. Valentine didn't like of that kind of attention; not because she didn't want it, but simply because she was scared of appearing not as tough as she usually was.

"We'll talk about it later, now you are the priority," Rory answered, still hugging the other woman.

"Uh, that's nice but..."

"No, don't tell me you don't need anybody because, hell! You do," she interrupted her, slowly pulling away. "Listen, I've got an idea," she smiled, noticing a small grin appearing on Faye's face. "You don't remember anything, right?" Rory asked, wanted to reassurance that her assumptions were right.

"I don't."

"So, hear me out. I've read this book when I was young. It was about how the memory works and how certain smells and sounds can trigger that," she quickly explained, noticing that Valentine was looking visibly confused. "And to sum it up, my grandma the same age as you on that videos."

"Woah, that doesn't sound flattering," Faye laughed through her sadness, quite curious at what Rory was saying.

"I've got her cassettes from that time," Rory continued her explanation while pointing at the grey boxes she left on Faye's matters. "And maybe by listening to them you could remind yourself of some memories."

"I..," Faye stopped, perplexed by Rory's hostility. "That would be nice actually," she finally said.

"Great!" Rory beamed in her cheerful manner. She didn't know why but the notion of helping others made her feel unbelievably energetic. "We'll start with some Madonna's songs. I'm not a fan of hers, but she was quite popular at that time so maybe you've heard her on the radio or something," she rambled, putting on the cassette in her Walkman and the headphones on Faye's ears later on.

As Papa Don't Preach started playing Rory ordered Faye to close her eyes and focus on the music she was listening to. The cassette went on playing, the two women hearing out almost the whole mixtape that Rory's grandma had made in her past.

"And?" Rory asked as the tape ended, her fingers crossed her idea could work out.

"Nothing," Faye mumbled, her expression saddening. "I'm sorry, Ray. It's not working," she added.

"Don't apologize, maybe it's just going to take some more time," Rory comforted her, handing her out the remaining two cassettes. "Don't force yourself to listen it, but I'm going to leave them if you wanted to," she said softly, patting Valentine on her arm.

"You have no idea how jealous I am of you... you know your past, you have your memories..," Faye sighed, her stare wandering around the room and fixing on the window.

"Sometimes I wish they weren't there, you know?" Rory smiled sorrowfully, the sad times flooding her head almost immediately. "But I understand you, Faye. Just don't stop remembering you have your future to life through," she added, not looking at her.

"Funny, he said the same thing to me," Faye giggled sadly, fidgeting with the edge of Rory's Walkman. "You're both weird but you'd make a great couple," she added, the other woman's expression confused.

"Yeah, don't know if ever," she confessed in, what it may seem, mysterious manner, yet Valentine understood her completely.

The sudden noise of the doors opening, made the two women turned towards them.

"Hey, Faye, have you seen R—! Hey," Spike stopped himself as he noticed Rory sitting next to the owner of the room, his expression softening.

"Hey," the engineer answered, a smile appearing on her face almost with the speed of light. "Faye, I'm..."

"Don't worry, go to him," she interrupted her, nudging her with her elbow. "Have to let the romance bloom," she giggled as Rory gave her a warning stare.

"What was that about?" Spike asked her as they both had left the room.

"I should ask you the same question," Rory laughed, letting herself being led by him to God knows where.

"Just wanted to talk to you," he admitted nonchalantly, opening the door of his own bedroom and allowing her to step in first.

"How sweet of you," Rory mocked the tone of his voice, sitting on the windowsill while waving her feet in the air. "I was quite concerned about her. You know, I assume memory loss is painful," she explained quickly, finally giving him the answer for his question.

"You know you can't fix everything and everyone, right?" Spike asked her, standing in front of her.

"Well, thanks for believing in me, I guess," Rory shrugged. "Why did you want to talk to me?" She continued their little game of question-answer, subconsciously grabbing his hand.

"Ah, that. I want to get my shirt back," he stated, pointing at the pastel yellow fabric Rory had been wearing for the past few days.

"Excuse me?" Her brow furrowed, followed by the tilting of her head. What the hell was he talking about?

"You heard me right. I think you've been wearing it a bit too long," he confirmed, his fingers undoing the first button of the shirt.

"Oh...? Oh." Her answer was quite something — the first Oh was spoken with a visible surprise in her tone, while the second one was pointing out that she completely understood what was going on. "Spike Spiegel, has anyone ever told you you can't fucking flirt," she laughed, observing the movements of his hands as he was done with almost four buttons now.

"And yet, here you are," he chuckled, having unbuttoned the whole shirt now.

"That's unfair, though," she added, raising up her brows.

"Oh, what now?" Spike frowned jokingly, rolling his eyes in disbelief.

"I'm sitting here, my shirt undone, while you still have all of your clothes on. Unfair," she replied, her hands finding its way to his belt.

"Has anyone ever told you you can't fucking flirt?" Spike repeated her previous question, laughing at her antics.

"Oh, shut it, Cowboy. At least I'm goddamn funny," she responded, getting up from the windowsill she was sitting on.

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am! Don't argue with me!" Rory objected, now, standing on her tiptoes to get her face closer to his.

"Or what?" Spike challenged her, visibly curious about her next comment.

"Or I'll have to find a way to shut you up," she answered calmly, making him burst into laugh.

"That was fucking cheesy," he chuckled, grabbing her waist.

"Does that bother you?"

"No."

~.~

Rory Ray had never felt so good ever in her life. Of course, she remembered eating ice cream for the first time while being four, she reckoned adopting her first pet, she was aware of the time of her first kiss ever. But now, laying in Spike's bed, dressed only in his shirt and her socks, she had forgotten to took off the night before, she finally felt completed. Almost like her whole world was at her fingertips; her world obviously being Spike.

Although... it wasn't.

"What the fuck?" Rory mumbled as soon as she woke up and searched for the comfort of Spike's arms, only to realize he wasn't even there anymore. "Oh," she added to herself, remembering the time this morning when he kissed the top of her head and said something about bounty hunting.

Sighing, knowing that they weren't even official so she had no right to expect he would have been there when she woke up, Rory approached the windowsill where her overalls and bra had been left last evening. She instantly smiled at the memory of Spike touching her body, his small kisses covering almost every part of her. God, it truly was splendid.

Yet, it was an another day. The work awaited, the tasks whining to be completed. Opening the door, Rory prayed she wouldn't meet Faye or Jet somewhere around; the explanations would have been an absolute hell, hence neither her or Spike knew what was going on between them. Were they just crew mates with an addition of a romantic relationship? Were they secret lovers with love for bickering? Or were they going to become something more?

Rory had no idea and she expected Spike to neither have one. She was scared of commitment, having experienced heartbreak and betrayal in her past. So maybe the things were better as they were now.

"Hey, Jet! Have you seen Spike?" Rory asked as soon as she found her way to the cockpit, nonchalantly placing her cup of coffee she had just made on the desk.

"No 'Good Morning, Jet! How are you doing?'," he huffed, glancing towards her.

"Good morning, Jet. How are you doing?" Rory repeated his response, rolling her eyes as he smiled. "Have you seen Spike?"

"Nope. And I'm kinda concerned you're concerned," he added theatrically, typing something in his computer. "You've never cared that much for him. Did something change?" His question was challenging, almost like he knew about something he shouldn't.

"Stop acting like a cop, that's not your profession anymore," she quickly ignored his question, sipping on her coffee.

"I'm just worried about you, kid," he finally admitted, looking at her with almost parental concern.

"Don't be, I'm an adult," she stated, sitting on the top of his desk carefully, just not to break anything.

"Alright, alright! But if he tries—!"

"Jet! You're supposed to be helping me here!" Faye's voice filled the speakers, interrupting the father-daughter conversation between the two.

"Wait. What time is it," Rory mumbled to herself, realizing that she may have just slept more than she anticipated. And all because a certain someone kept her awake last night. "What the hell is even going on right now?"

"We're fighting the pirates," Ed sang, appearing next to her while feeding Ein some dog food.

"The pirates?" Rory repeated and only a moment after she felt the ship trembling.

"Hey! Look out Faye!" Jet yelled as soon as the lasers started shooting at both of their spaceships.

Next thing Jet and Rory knew was Bebop's electricity shutting down, causing the man to lose control over the ship.

"Ed, get the computer!" Rory called, holding the cup of coffee for her dear life.

"Mono-system malfunction. Emergency pilot program engaged."

"Fuck!"

"Bad word! Ray-Ray said a bad word!"

Rory rolled her eyes, exiting the cockpit just to get into the corridor where all of the Bebop's main wiring system was located. Now, a screwdriver in her hand she quickly opened the metal box, noticing that the cables had been completely smoked up.

"Jet says it's a virus, Ray-Ray," the redhead found her way to the engineer, leaning over her shoulder. "Can Ed fix this?"

"No, Ed, go back to Jet," Rory murmured, trying to focus on the task of repairing the wiring. "Or you know what? Bring me the blue tool box, it's in my workshop," she added, realizing that the girl could be actually some use.

"Oh, it's a real emergency!" Ed cheered as Rory sighed.

The blue box held all of Rory's special equipment she had once bought. The tools were so expensive she wasn't using them really often in case she was unconsciously going to ruin them. But, as Jet stated, it was a virus. And Rory knew it was going to be a serious matter.

"Kiddo! You are needed!" She heard the owner of Bebop yelling as she connected the two last wires to their place of origin. "You're smaller, get down here," he ordered her, pointing at the hole in the floor where the remaining ships main compartments were located.

"Geez, take that out of context and Spike's gonna be jealous," Faye giggled as she came back to the ship,

"Oh, shut up, Valentine!" Rory growled, having no other clue what to answer.

"What? It's not my fault you have an emotionally distant moron for a boyfriend," she sang, relaxing on the Bebop's seat.

"What?!" Jet hissed.

"We're not dating," Rory honestly replied. To be frank, she wasn't lying; she was as confused as Jet at that moment.

"Oh, so you're just casually fucking, I get it."

"Faye!"

"A bad word! Faye-Faye said a bad word!" Ed giggled, walking towards Rory with the earlier spoken blue box with her tools.

"Don't repeat that ever, buddy," Rory sighed, beginning her work.

"Ray-Ray, why weren't you in your room yesterday? I was looking for you!" Ed asked cheerfully, not realizing what she had just insinuated.

"What?!" Jet shouted once again, this time completely red in his face.

"So I was right," Faye laughed, making Rory wanting to shoot herself in the cold space without a helmet on.

"I-I-I was with you, Valentine! Listening to Madonna, remember?" Rory panicked, quickly coming up with an excuse.

"Yeah, sure," she winked at the engineer.

"Oh, get lost, I'm going to do my job, if you don't freakin' mind," Rory hissed, disappearing into the entrance in the floor.

She wanted to vanish away simply to avoid the unpleasant conversation; she wasn't Faye after all. The confidence when it came to flirting didn't existed in Rory's usual manners as she neither had the adequate experience, nor the skills to do so. The exact same when it came to talking about her romantic live, strictly containing sexual intercourses. It wasn't, however, because Rory was shy — it was because she had some underlying trauma that did not allow her to spoke confidently about her feelings.

As she burrowed herself in the work, she managed to get a few minutes of peace before she heard the incoming call, soon answered by Faye.

"Hello? Oh, it's you... the mysterious missing guy," she spoke, making Rory almost hit herself in the head.

Yet, she couldn't show she was concerned; Jet was already suspicious enough and Faye would have simply teased her later on if Rory reacted in any way. Unbeknownst to her, Jet had just put Spikes coordinates to the navigations of Bebop, the ship being already on autopilot to pick him up.

"I'm done," Rory mumbled while getting up, silently hoping she would get some time-alone with Spike when they'd arrived.

"Good. What'd you know about mono-transmitters kid?"

~.~

Rory Ray was usually a calm person. She was trying hard not to let anyone affect her composure, yet, today was the day she failed miserably.

Spike had arrived almost an hour ago and she didn't have a chance to spoke to him ever since. Instead, she was sitting in her workshop, metal parts and tools in her hands, working on the transmitter Jet had asked her to create from the absolute scratches. Of course, it was going to play a crucial part in them defeating the pirates they had been chasing and helping the ship not to get infected with the virus, but Rory couldn't simply keep up a straight face.

"That's why I fucking hate the fucking romance, it makes you fucking nuts," she cursed under her breath, connecting the metal parts to one another. Her blood was almost boiling, as there was nothing for her to do when it came to deciding for herself.

Coming back to the living area, angrily holding the mono-transmitter, she handed it over to Jet without saying a word and quickly disappeared into the kitchen.

"You drinking that shitty beer again, huh?"

She suddenly turned towards the voice that had just spoken, opening her alcohol with the tip of her screwdriver.

"Cut it, I've had a terrible day," she answered, sipping on her drink.

"Me and Faye are going to..."

"Fight the pirates, I know," she interrupted him, her mood still completely off. "And look, I thought you were a Cowboy, not a fucking British troop member in the 1700s," she mumbled, her expression sour at her own miserable joke.

"'M here," Spike mumbled, closing her in a soft hug.

"Just don't get yourself killed, will you?" Rory whispered, wrapping her hands around his torso.

"I think I could... Just to piss you off," he chuckled, only to feel a hit in the shoulder.

"You'll piss me off more if you stayed alive," she added as Spike kissed her on the top of her head.

"Gotta go, mechanic. Take care," he said, making his way towards the hangar.

Rory sighed, having just realized drinking a beer in the middle of their mission was utterly ridiculous; what if they needed her help?

Glancing through the window some minutes after, Rory prayed for the best, crossing her fingers at the same time. Soon, they approached the smugglers' ships, Faye and Spike ready for the mess that was about to happened.

"I hate it, I hate it, I hate it," Rory growled, approaching the exit of the kitchen, her destination being the cockpit. She utterly despised staying with no job to do, wishing she could help them in any other way than just plainly fixing the broken things.

"Cut the mono-system!" She heard Jet yelling as she entered the main part of the ship.

"Fuck, how are they holding up?" Rory asked, her tone clearly worried.

"Poorly, get the computer, kid!" Jet ordered her as she ran towards the device, her body suddenly feeling sick.

That was the reason she never wasn't going to be a good Bounty Hunter. She panicked when it came to every little inconvenience containing the ones she cared about. Although she didn't mind the notion of dying, the sense of losing her crew mates was almost unbearable to live with.

"Jet! We're getting to close to Earth's atmosphere!" She noted, her hands trembling, realizing what could happen if they hadn't changed their location soon.

"I know!" His angry yell filled the cockpit, making Rory even more nervous than before."Spike! I'll be right there! We're calculating the course your on!" Jet added to the speaker, making Rory completely unable to hear the other words he was currently saying.

Spike was in danger.

She remembered feeling that notion before and it was far from being pleasant. In fact, it made her paralyzed as she analyzed the every possible event that was about to happened — each and every one of them being a dark scenario that ended with Spike'a death. She couldn't think straight. The possibly of him dying brought her nothing but fear.

And then she realized.

It was because she loved him, not simply because she cared about him.

Spike was the person, who completely changed her life. His pros hidden by the cocky attitude and sharp comebacks, his cons visible in every way he bickered with her. But she loved him nevertheless. And she couldn't lose him. She simply couldn’t allow it.

"You okay?!" Rory heard Jet's yelling as something collided with the Earth's atmosphere. She prayed it wasn't the Swordfish.

"I'm still alive!" Spike answered through the speaker as Rory remembered she should breath in order to stay alive.

"Let's regroup," Jet ordered, having being hit with the blast of the virus.

"No! Are you mad?! We can't possibly leave him alone!" Rory shouted at the man as Bebop began to turning into the opposite direction Spike was at.

"We're going to die if we stay here, Ray!" Jet scolded her, continuing his maneuver. "Spike," he turned his attention back to the speaker, completely ignoring Rory's panic. "Can you hear me, bud? I've got a calculation. It would take me seven hours to rendezvous with you," he added, Rory's body completely frozen.

"No, no, no, that's not right," she whispered to herself, feeling herself beginning to feel numb. Those things weren't happening, it was just her imagination, right?

Right?

"Ay, Jet. You know, I, uh, got some whiskey hid behind the fridge. Why don't you help yourself, bud?" The surprisingly calm voice of Spike rang through the speakers. "And, uh, give Rory a kiss from me, will 'ya?"

"Huh?! What went wrong?!"

"Spike?! Spike?! What's going on?!" Rory got closer to the speaker with a speed of light, her hands trembling.

"The fuel tanks are empty. There's nothing I can do now."

"No, no," Rory mumbled nervously, running towards the exit. "I have to help him," she added to Jet, ignoring his screams after her.

There was no way Rory was going to leave Spike for the sure death. Starting the engine of the Starman she flew to the dark space, her mind going blank. She had to help him.

She had to.

Having the coordinates, she had quickly found the broken Swordfish. However, to her surprise, there had already been another ship helping Spike so he won't collide with the Earth atmosphere.

"Ray? What the fuck are you doing here?" She heard a voice coming from her spaceship's radio, clearly as confused as her. "You're going to crash, get back to Jet!"

"Gotta the new equipment, remember?" Rory nervously laughed, not entirely realizing what was going on. "I'm almost unbreakable at this point," she added, her data quickly connecting with what Spike had just sent her.

"You're fucking ridiculous," he chuckled.

Landing on Earth was rather an odd experience for Rory. It turned out that Spike didn't actually need her help after all. As soon as she got off her own ship and laid her feet on the ground she speeded towards Spike, hugging him almost immediately.

"I've told you to be careful," she whispered, burring her head in his chest.

"Yeah, and you've clearly been yourself," he mocked her, holding her as close to his body as he possibly could.

"Oi, Spike! Who's that?" An elderly man asked, interrupting their little private moment of reunion.

"My girl," he answered plainly, making Rory's expression beyond surprised.

"Your girl?" She repeated, realizing what he had just said.

"My girl," he confirmed a bit more quiet, planting a kiss on top of her head. "That is unless you want to..."

"I do. I want to."

[sammypompeius]

Okay so like I just watched more of season 15 and WHAT THE FUCK, me and my mom talked sooo much shit about dean because he said "JACK ISN'T FAMILY" and he never says otherwise in any episode after!!!!! And I get that Dean can't really control his anger, and he hates that about himself, that's one of the reasons I relate to him so much but normally seeing him go through that gives me strength and makes me wanna do better, but he never fixes it with Jack, Jack continues to think he isn't family, at least for Dean (Cas saying they love then for who he is not what he can do gave me life btw) and that makes me feel like I too will just continue hurting those I love, that I can't do better (and that is because I don't accept Dean not loving Jack, not considering him family, that would be worse, thing is I feel stupid not accepting that because he LITERALLY SAID IT!). The only thing that indicates that wasn't true is his name written on the bunker's table and that pisses us off so much!!!!! I thought "family doesn't end in blood only came in on the finale but welp! We where so pissed at Dean and I was repeating to myself "that's not my dean it's the writers". My mom was so pissed that when the confession was happening and Cas says Dean is the most caring man on earth she commented "no he isn't look at how he treated Jack" and she loves Dean (at least who we thought was dean). (My mom had already watched the confession bc I wouldn't shut up about it) After ep 18 ended we watched the confession on spanish too btw ksksksk my mom's awesome she was like "'te quiero' is romantic skshsuwkvsuwka he says he loves him too! Like how did that happen why is the original not that way?" even tho I had already told her about it (her first language is spanish btw)

I'll reblog this with more after, we just watched 19 and are going to watch 20 (which I actually watched live)

Supernatural S15 | E20

*SPOILERS*

Ok where to fucking start!! FIRST I JUST WANT TO SAY FUCK THE WRITES AND FUCK U ANDREW DABB I FUCKING TRUSTED U THIS HURTS MORE THAN GAME OF THRONES FINAL.

I am not really mad dean died, i guess it was a good choice. I just don't like the way he did. With some boring vampires and a screw...

Then sam who was devastated when eileen disappeared with the snap, never mentioned her again. When they had built a really cute and romantic relationship. He just finish his life sad bc he lost his brother and end up with some woman we don't even know/see. Then we have dean. So out of character, every damn season he did EVERYTHING to bring cas back, everything. But this time he seems like he doesn't even care. And when he gets to his heaven, we see bobby. But no cas, just a little mention (not what he deserved after 12 years, becoming the 3rd lead, being in every photoshoot and poster. And after sacrificing himself FOR DEAN).

For cas we get this declaration of love that misha himself said was "an homosexual declaration” and several cast members said “we all knew cas was in love with dean” but we get no answer from dean. That a little  fucking harsh, don't u think!? And I watched the 2 final hoping for something more. We are in 2020 and the way they confessed cas's love and KILLED HIM RIGHT AFTER is very very... ughhh! THAT'S JUST FUCKED UP, MAN.

I am sad bc i really loved the show but this ending is ruined it for me. I could never watch it again (as i wanted) knowing dean's gonna die young, cas will die for nothing (bc he sacrifice for dean to live), sam will be sad growing old without his brother and the family they had built along the years. The sentence "family doesn't end with blood” then getting the ending to show that it's not true bc their heaven is just the 2 together. No cas, no jack, (i can understand for jack, must be busy being god) BUT NO CAS I CAN'T ACCEPT THAT!!

Sorry for the long ass text, i needed to get this out of my chest. Bc that show meant a lot to me and they just broke my heart with the 2 last ep by forgetting every character's development, and just focusing on sam and dean when we know that cas had become a main character too. I feel like all these years meant nothing. But i'd like to point that Jensen, Misha and Jared did an awesome job! (the others too of course) And i don't blame them for the very BAD writing, i now understand why jensen didn't like the ending bc...well neither do I jensen, neither do I...

The only reason i cried was because they had the chance to write 2 beautiful love stories with seileen and destiel and THEY DIDN'T TOOK THAT CHANCE! And especially with deancas (destiel) since they were actually told to "eye fucked” in every scene together, and we all know they both loved each other. I'd like to remind everyone that cas is an angel and don't have any gender. We see dean fuck with hanna but "can't reciprocate cas's love” JUST BECAUSE HE HAS A MAN VESSEL. If cas would have been in a woman vessel they would have been together since season 5... Spn is HOMOPHOBIC for doing this. I'm just so disappointed, and I actually wish they had ended it with episode 18 or 19 that woud've been better than THIS.

I just can't believe my favorite show ended like this... I can't believe it.

i wasn’t originally going to post this since i’ve seen several other (perfectly valid) mob psycho timelines out there but you all wanted to see it so here it is!

this does not include pre-canon or the reigen spin off. the first b/c i didn’t really care lol and the second b/c i haven’t read the spin off for reasons i’m sure you already know.

almost every single one of these dates is based on canon evidence (see notes below) but a few are speculation. i go into depth under the cut so if you want to know, say, exactly what day mob buys the monkey shirt you can find out. if you want to see a specific panel hmu!

feel free to use as reference when writing fanfics or meta or whatever else you might want to use it for :D just please don’t repost 

Spring of Youth Arc

it’s not super important how many days pass in ep 1 but i think it’s all within a week. might be some overlap with ep 2 (tunnel exorcism on same day takenaka quits club? according to the manga it happens later anyway)

going by anime here: takenaka quits the club monday or tuesday, tome asks mob to join the club wednesday if i remember right (also the day he goes to the girl’s high school) and he joins the body improvement club friday)

(LOL) Cult Arc

not much to say. it’s literally an afternoon and the teru arc starts the very next day

Teruki Hanazawa Arc

happens basically immediately after the cult. like mob knows dimple for like 3 days before he’s “exorcised”

fight on a friday bc it’s on weekend news

aftermath: mob in pink hoodie probably on saturday, mezato interrogates him monday

Big Cleanup Arc

shigeo mentions in the divine tree arc that student council meetings are on mondays. however only having weekly meetings would make this arc take a really long time so i’m guessing it’s semiweekly. i’m guessing the other day is thursday because ritsu says he has a meeting on the thursday that mob confesses

same monday as end of teru arc: student council meeting where ritsu suggests a big cleanup, mitsuura gives ritsu his card

thursday: big cleanup plan submitted, mezato and onigawara look for mob (for totally different reasons), ritsu in the street w/ tokugawa

next monday: student council plans to get rid of onigawara

awakening lab might be on the same day as above but i’m not sure, mob also goes on a “date” with tome that day and sees koyama for the first time. that night is when shinji’s family gets after him for not being perfect and he decides to go apeshit

i’m guessing the recorder scandal happens the next morning (wednesday?). it doesn���t actually say if ritsu awakens that exact day but i’m just going to say it does

a little bit of time goes by (about a week?) ritsu’s becoming popular and he develops his psychic power. teru vs ritsu happens somewhere here. people are complaining about the big clean up

the day that ritsu and kamuro confront onigawara in the body improvement club room is the same day that ritsu first attacks the delinquents from the other schools (monday)

im guessing a day goes by before kamuro is beaten up (tuesday), then another day before he’s beaten up again (wednesday)

kamuro is absent from the student council meeting the next thursday

ritsu only has his powers for 9 days before announcing that he’s obtained loss

7th Division Arc

one month before touichirou arrives in japan. this makes sense because it’s not like the day he arrives he’s going to attack. touichirou probably arrives in late september or early october, prepares things for a couple weeks

mob goes to shinji’s house on sunday, ritsu and mob talk on the swings monday, shinji apologizes to onigawara tuesday. the kageyama parents know about ritsu’s power by tuesday night (what was that conversation like)

Mob’s Girlfriend Mini-Arc

2 weeks long: one for the elections and one for the dating

sidenote: psycho helmet cult has gained 700 followers by now and it’s been about a month according to mezato (and the timeline!)

mob works the monday after his brother’s kidnapped jeez reigen give the kid a break

going to say it’s wednesday when shinji resigns

mezato talks to mob about running on thursday

one week later: elections! (going to say they’re on a friday). emi asks him out that afternoon

mob and emi “date” for a week. im guessing she “breaks up” with him friday and he fixes her torn up story on monday since there’s enough time for everyone to react. i think the anime has all that happen on the same day though. either way is good

Urban Legend Arc

reigen complains about four days without customers

kuchisake-onna: it’s the weekend b/c mob’s wearing a sweater instead of his uniform and also b/c i doubt mob skipped school

reigen makes his website overnight and mob’s wearing his uniform the next day which means the trip to the urban legend town has to be on sunday

the first trip to the ghost house is on a sunday (what a busy day!), and the second trip is on monday

Keiji Mogami Arc

literally the day after the ghost house wtf (so… tuesday?)

if it feels like 6 months for mob would that mean he’s almost a third year in the dream world? or already is a third year? oh no…

uh technically there’s an aftermath the next day but really the arc is one day

Separate Ways Arc

kumagawa’s birthday is in late september btw. idk if there’s any kumagawa stans out there but now you know he’s a libra

kijibayashi’s birthday: 10/5? (also the day mob finally cant take reigen’s bs anymore)

mob doesn’t show up to work for at least four days pre-birthday (probably five days since kijibayashi’s birthday needs to be on a school day)

reigen’s birthday: 10/10 (also i’m assuming this is either the day of or the day after he defeats the video game thing)

he has to have enough time to offer classes and become a local celebrity… i’d assume he offers that course at his office that friday night (10/12). he’s interviewed that day too. a few days later he goes on tv (i’m going to say 10/15)

goes to bar 3 days after the tv show (wednesday 10/17)

thursday 10/18: reporterless-day

friday 10/19: press conference, “my master… he is a good person” *sobs*)

World Domination Arc

mob has 10 days to prepare for the marathon

marathon on friday (11/2)

teru fights shimazaki for the first time saturday morning, mob doesn’t wake up until sometime in the afternoon, and rei-gun is in the evening

mob sleeps like 18 hours… oof

the kageyama parents return home monday evening

Yokai Hunter Mini-Arc

this isn’t listed as seperate from the Divine Tree Arc according to the wiki but i’m calling it a mini-arc because the broccoli isn’t really the focus

mob mentions the future prospects assignment is due in a week

seri starts working at spirits and such a few days after the wd arc ends

going to guess there’s some overlap with the future prospects assignment and that it’s due sometime during culture festival preparations because otherwise the timeline breaks

okay everyone i know culture festivals are usually on or around november 3rd but according to all canon evidence there is absolutely no way that can happen on time. there’s literally no time. it has to take place at least 2 weeks after the wd arc

going to say the culture festival is nov. 18 because that’s all that makes sense (the previous weekend is too soon, and the next weekend is after the divine tree arc

Divine Tree Arc

Friday: Tsubomi sneezes — why dont u stop doing bad things

Saturday: buys The Shirt

Sunday: Psycho Helmet

Monday: Teru, Ritsu, and Reigen all brainwashed, Mob vs Dimple part 2

Telepathy Mini-Arc

finally a nice long break :D

find out about takenaka about one month after Divine Tree Arc

aliens on New Year’s Eve/Day

inukawa’s abducted by aliens for 10 days

???% Arc

inukawa has to be back by the time school starts

Mob finds out Tsubomi’s leaving the day he gets back from winter break (monday) :(

i think he calls her two days later?

the day after that mob is hit by a fucking car (also student council day so… thursday)

Epilogue + Omakes

we all know the epilogue is on 10/10/2013

the summer omake has to be after the ???% arc but i’m not sure what day. probably july

idk what else to say other than i can’t believe i spent so much time on this

#this took a really long time wow #i wrote this before ep 13 so anime things might be a little different #telepathic signals #mp100 #mp100 manga spoilers #ask to tag

[survivoremathia]

Ep. 11 - "The Time has Come to Slay the Beast" - Duncan

OWEN

fuck you jay have ur damn confession

-

In other news, I did not too bad on the immunity and then realized that if I win a third in a row I'm going to be the biggest target which was literally the opposite of the strategy I was going for so hopefully someone did it in less than seven. My strategy was good tho I'm pissed like it is literally not in me to not try/throw a comp and it's not good news but like I just WANTED TO DO WELL OK THIS COMPETITION WAS FUN DFSAJKNHFJDSKHFSKJADFH I'M CRYING Anyways! It's final nine and this is the round to make a move, I think. Sam really pissed me off last round being all wishy washy and non-committal. People like Ryan blame Trevor for being controlling but it's literally what Sam wants. Sam wants to be "told" what to do, or to not have an opinion, so he doesn't seem like the leader he is but like... It's so obvious to see through. He acts like he doesn't know what's going on or what other people think, but he does. Take an acting class, betch! I don't know if it's smarter to go for Sam or Ali or JD. I guess like... Sam: Pros, he's the biggest threat of the three and he has an idol and he personally acts like an idiot even though I really wanted to work with him he gives me NOTHING and I want revenge! Damn! The con would be that...he has an  idol and he's always paranoid af and he'll probably play it. Another con is that his minions Ali/JD can be easily swayed without him, and someone could scoop them tf up. Ali: Pros, Sam has mentioned needing to get Ali out although idk if it was a lie or not. He's got the best social connections out of everyone and people genuinely want him to win. Cons, he's arguably more loyal than Sam and he's a lot less frustrating to talk to and I like him. Also leaving Sam in the game with an idol after taking out his ally is not a good. JD: Pros, she's the least likely to be expected as a target, she like....is so naive in terms of trying to save Ryan last round and then telling Trevor "oh you're the leader" like, girl bye. Cons, Ali/Sam could still be in the game as a tight duo, and also she seems the easiest to beat in the end of the three.... Idk! I don't know. It also depends on what I can get Logan/Duncan/Lydia/Trevor to agree on, if anything. And also like... immunity results will matter. And Sam's idol. And then like idk what Ryan is gonna do! So! We! Will! See! I! Guess!!!!!! Also Ryan messaged me this morning and like I do want to work with Ryan still but I'm worried that he views me as tight with Trevor and if I say anything to him or give him any info he can use it to turn others against Trevor and I so dskjafhadsjf idk what to do about that but we'll see if he messages me again huh!

DUNCAN

noh wow! Oh Wow!! OH WOW!!! 

An alliance called "oh wow!" Just was made between Owen Logan and I, which is good bc I need two of the people I'm closest to to have some type of trust with each other and not come after each other's necks. In other news I crackt the code in mastermind in 5 guesses!! I'm very happy and proud of my score even if I don't win immunity, but it would be a good confidence booster tbh. And one last thing. Whoever told RTP I was leading a charge against him, you better watch your back because I'm saltier than a tortilla chip. I hope they have their boxing gloves on, bc I'm ready to swinG

I'm not going to lie, I'm really frustrated.  The touchy subjects really did bother me because me and Ali are both playing this game, we might not be the ones calling all the shots that that doesn't mean we aren't in the conversations. I get were people would say it and I see how it was the easy way to do it, the newbies are getting pulled along. That's fine, cheers. AliWelp, skype killed the hype, and potentially my game. Lydia had proposed this amazing big move for tonight, but I'm scared these tech issues might ruin it. Like... ughhh such a shame. Anywho, on a positive note, I made Final 9! :) Outlasting, 13 people already is phenomenal, so that's amazing! I'm ready to go for broke now. Ideally, I want Trevor,Owen,Sam and Ryan out as the next four boots, as the four biggest threat for the end. My dream F3 is JD and Logan, with Duncan as a possible alternative, and Lydia as a 4th choice. They're the people I think I have the biggest chance of hopefully beating. Lydia is dangerous though, so I don't want her going too far...

RYAN

[7:36:08 PM] Ryan Palmer: i mean we don't really have another choice lmfao [7:36:19 PM] Ali: yeah, we're kinda limited for options eek Gee....limited for options against that alliance....gee....its almost as if....SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR 2 ROUNDS....if only ppl like matt or david who would have voted with us were here....i seriously cant with these ppl....i literally told everyone if they were gonna wait it was gonna be too late....fuck

JD

Rob getting into the jury, I don't know how I feel about that. I don't think Rob was really happy with us when he got voted out. 

LOGAN

Sorry I'm late on confessionals :( Anyway! Owen made an alliance chat with me, himself, and Duncan, which I'm happy with. Ali pitched the idea to me to have an alliance with Lydia, myself, JD and Ali. That sounds workable, and suddenly I see the ground beneath my feet in this game. I need to work out how to get to the end from here - I still do not have a solid f2, which worries me. I could go for a f3 with Owen and Duncan and play the middle of those two, but Trevor is? Talking to me? Wild. I guilt tripped Ali so badly last round because he told me the vote was for David and *insisted* that, and I nearly voted for David, but thanks to Duncan... whew. Saved that. But now Ali feels super guilty. Ethos, logos, pathos? Using them all, but pathos was my friend then. Good use of pathos, actually. My english teacher wishes. David is gone now anyway, which I feel sorta bad about, all the boys in this game are super cute and too pretty to be getting early boots. I do trust Duncan, but I'm not 100% how much. At least we aren't viewed as a duo. But he said it himself, we were two people brought together by unfortunate circumstances, and in my experience, that never works out. But I'll stick with you, for now. We'll see. At this point, I can't win this game. I maybe could get fifth? Maybe. If I really work it. My UTR game won't cut it, I really need to be MOR, or else I'm getting the block. Time to show my value to people, or become fifth juror - one of the two. 

OWEN

I think as of right now the ideal final three for me would be myself, Logan and Lydia. Getting there though with that specific group is...not necessarily the easiest thing. Especially because I've basically sworn not to screw over Trevor or Duncan. And I don't really want to have to put either of their names down, but I know they're bigger threats than I am. Maybe I could beat them in the end... But do I really want to beat Trevor and have him lose in the finals a third time? I want Trevor to do well and I want to see him win. But I want to win too! So I'm at a bit of a conflict here. Ideally, Sam/JD/Ali go now and probably another one of them goes next. Maybe it could be like... Sam and JD or Sam and Ali. Then at final seven I think it would be good for me if Trevor left. It'd have to be at seven because that way, Trevor/myself/Lydia could vote one way and then Duncan/Logan/Ryan/Thing 1 or 2 (whichever is left) could vote Trevor. Then at a final six, maybe the other Thing (Ali or JD) goes. Final five would have to be Duncan. And the final four would be me, Ryan, Lydia and Logan? Then Ryan goes fourth? Maybe? That's one way to get there but that counts on a lot of things going right with immunity and idols and also that counts on me being very aware of Trevor and Duncan both leaving and potentially having a hand in that and that's....not good! NOT GOOD. ugshfsdfsd

OWEN

SOOOO! JD won immunity which limits my options to Ali and Sam I guess. But I did have a plan. Trevor mentioned that Sam told him that Ali has to go eventually. So my thought is that Trevor tells Sam that it's time to do Ali. And so Sam thinks we are voting Ali, he knows the votes will be me Trevor Logan Lydia and Duncan against Ali. And that way like maybe there's a chance he just votes Ali Idk!!! But then in reality the five of us vote for Sam. That way the idol is gone, guaranteed. He either plays it on Ali and leaves or he votes for Ali and keeps his idol. The only problem is if he doesn't believe us and plays it on himself instead, which makes me think maybe like.... idk maybe Logan uses the extra vote they supposedly have and we split the vote somehow. I guess that plan would depend on what ryan is doing. And I wouldn't want to tell ryan the plan in case he still goes for Trevor. Idk!!!! I guess we could also make it seem like we are going for Sam and vote Ali instead but I think it's more realistic to do the other plan since sam has expressed interest in voting out Ali anyways??? It's hard calling shots because I'm not immune this time, but Trevor does still have an idol as well so maybe he could play it just in case. Idk!!! We will see

JD

I won immunity! I'm so excited right now, those puzzle skills my preschool teacher was talking about finally paid off! *happy dance* 

SAM

HEY! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RIGGED OUT OF THE GAME. oooooh hosts you really had to do that huh I would be beyond stupid to not think that I was the target of the other side this round--people know that I'm close with Trevor, but I am willing to drop him at any time. So this round, even though I knew I was in some hot water, I was like "oh, I have Trevor's idol in my possession, and I have one that he's willing to play on me. I'm like a poached egg not fully hard boiled--I'll be fine." THEN OH THEN Duncan steals Ali's ability to go to the Labyrinth and YOU KNOW HWAT HE FUCKIN FINDS?????? HE FINDS A DAMN ADVANTAGE THAT ALLOWS FOR ME TO NOT VOTE AND MAYBE SUPPOSEDLY NOT HAVE ANY ITEMS PLAYED ON ME????? FUCK THIS????? the worst part is that I don't know what I'm up against! because owen isn't being forthcoming to trevor! so i don't know if trevor can play an idol on me at all or if i can't play an idol just on myself but I know I can't vote! so i need to give an extra vote to someone who will vote on my side!!!!! i hate!!!!! this!!!!!! so now i actually have to scrape for literally everything while other bitches don't even have to lift a finger!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!! hosts if i go out tonight i love you BUT this is a shitty way to go that i don't really have control over!! call me malcolm binch!

-

sorry for all my yelling like i just thought this one was meant to be. i was ready!!!!

OWEN

So the plan is pretty much set in motion. I think Logan and Duncan are on board to vote Sam. AAAADN duncan apparently found a power to cancel sams idol???? Which would be???? Greater than Frosted Flakes. But this just makes it extra clear that's Sam CANT KNOW anything is going on. Which is where I might've messed up. Trevor said he would talk to Sam but I got the feeling he wasn't really doing it and I told him about Duncan's power oop and he was sketched out by Duncan, as he is. Cue the argument about whether or not Sam should go!!!! Yay!!!! So I've basically just gotta convince Trevor to do it. And to keep his mouth shut. And he's....impulsive. I don't think he will. The good thing is he's coming here tonight!!!!! So if I need to I think I can convince him in person. I just have to hope by then it's not too late :( I'm not afraid to flirt my way to Trevor's brain to try to get him to follow through with this. All is fair in love and war.

OWEN

talked to sam and he's high key paranoid what a surprise I brought up doing Ali....screams. He said no, pretty much, and mentioned doing Trevor instead which to me seems sketch cause idk why he would suggest that so easily to me of all people. He wasn't being very clear, like usual. I basically told him to wait until final seven SHSKDJDJJD to do Trevor and Idk he said he wasn't seeing the picture and so when I asked him like... what the picture is what he thought the next few votes would be he said he didn't think that far cause he's not there yet. My bullshit radar is goin off!!!!!! :~) I'm not sure what the convo meant. It's the first time he truly wanted to talk to me. But he did bring up just going for Logan so idk. We agreed to talk again in a little bit. And Trevor will be here in person soon. And I just need this all to work out because i think if it doesn't then I'm toast Know this tho if Trevor ruins this for me then I'm not holding back anymore!!!!!!!!!! I'll help him pack his bags!!!!

So this vote is going to be reealllly messy I think. So far as I know: Owen and Duncan want to vote out Sam, Trevor doesn't wanna do that because ovbs, Sam gave him the idol and he feels like Sam will probs be usefully (sorry for the bad abbreviation, Im just lazy right now). From what I've heard Trevor wants to vote Duncan now though because he, I'm guessing, wants to break up him and Owen. WHY the fuck are you not voting OWEN!? I've run the idea by Ali and I want to get Trevor to play the idol for ether Ali or Sam cus, why not~ get the idol out of Trevors hands and if we can get the idol played on someone other then Owen then why not vote for Owen? It pisses me off the Trevor doesn't want to talk to me, I mean, okay your with your boyfriend who is in the game but if he asked it's not hard to lie and say I'm freaking out over thinking and Trevor is chilling me out. I mean, I'm 100% on thinking that Owen thinks of me as the goat so he'd believe it. My plan would be so vote Owen. Right now the majority is split on Owen and Trevors side. Owens: Owen, Duncan, maybe Logan = voting Sam or Ali, we've heard Ali as a second or a 'go vote this one' to get some throw away votes. Trevor: Trevor, me, Ali, Lydia, Sam, Ryan = voting for Duncan to break up Owen and Duncan? My plan is a three way split for Sam, Owen and Duncan, then on the revote we vote our Duncan (sorry hostys Im sure ties suck) but really I just want to fuck up the votes and vote Owen. Hoping that Trevor will use his idol on Sam, assuming he cant use it on himself... I guess we'll see. 

OWEN

So!!!! Of course Trevor gets here and tells me that they're all voting for Duncan!!!! Lol!!!!!!! He wasn't even gonna tell me except it was more convenient for him since we were about to be together for 48 hours. Anyways. Thanks for lying all day and then planning on leaving me out to dry ;~) looks like I won't have any trouble lying to you from now on huh!!!!!!! Anyways, I immediately got to work convincing him to do Sam instead, and then we called Lydia finally and talked to her about it. Except Trevor also told everyone all of this SHIT and I'm so mad I literally like. At least he bought me chipotle. Anyways!!!! Lydia was planning on telling Ryan to vote Sam and also they all think that Duncan's rags make it so that Sam can't have any idols played on him even from other players. Idk it's messy and i just want to sleep. I'm hoping I convinced them to switch their votes. Sam needs to go now that he knows I was after him. Also lol it's funny cause I asked Trevor as soon as he walked in if He told Sam to message me lmao I knew it was fishy af Idk it's all fishy. Why does Trevor feel the NEED to ruin!!!!! Djdjdjdjd Jesus. Also surprise he's not giving me the idol. Or playing it on me. I hope it bites him in the ass when people like duncan and ryan really do wanna vote him out and I'm not there to cover his ass. Literally DJDJDJD fuck all this At this point I'm just hoping it's not me. Idk if it would be. I've worked too hard today for it to be me, tbh. But really? Damn

this game gave me acne and soiled my crops

JD

So I might have tried strong arming Trevor into this split by saying that Sam is easily dropped if the vote goes wrong. I don't think that he liked that cus not hes talking to Ryan about voting Sam. Which I don't get but it would mess up the split. 

ALI

This vote has just aged me! Sam is maybe going, which sucks. Duncan is a liar, Logan is lying to me. Sam gave me his extra vote though, so hopefully TLJoA can vote togethed next time, as a majority. Samit was a good run, folks

DUNCAN

Heyyyy! Umm idk if this will be my last confessional or not until allstars but here we go. The time has come to slay the beast. It's time to make a move. It's time to take down sam.in short. I was allegedly the original target of rtp plus the unholy trinity, and Lydia and Trevor were on board. Then Owen talked to them and convinced them to vote Samuel only because I had my handy rags. It was a conditional agreement. But umm hopefully no one else will play an idol on sam, and hopefully everyone who is telling me they're voting sam is telling the truth. The thing is, if I get voted out tonight it's okay. I didn't come here to make it to the end and win. This is a move I need to make to help me win. So if I'm going down, I can say I did what I said I set out here to do when I applied. I came to win, not to be a coward
