Pt.2 Pt.3

✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮✰✮

You were sitting on the couch in your shared home with Vanessa, watching a TV program that featured extravagant rings that cost more than your entire life. Recently, Vanessa had been coming home later than usual, and every time you tried to bring it up, she would dismiss your concerns or accuse you of being too clingy. You tried to brush off her words and the hurt they caused, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore your feelings. Eventually, you gave up and started going to bed before she came home. However, tonight was supposed to be different. You had pleaded with her to come home early and she had promised she would. Filled with hope, you had prepared a romantic candle-lit dinner and even bought her a gift. But as the minutes turned into hours, the food grew cold and the gift remained untouched on the table. You sat on the couch with a half-finished glass of wine, tears welling up in your eyes.

She was supposed to have arrived hours ago, and you had debated whether or not to just go to sleep. But as you were about to doze off, you heard the familiar sound of keys jingling and the front door opening. Vanessa, your late girlfriend, seemed oblivious to your presence as she quietly closed the door and went straight to the kitchen without acknowledging the food you had prepared for her.

With a clenched jaw, you stood up and cleared your throat, causing Vanessa to finally notice you. "Y/n? What are you doing up?" she asked with a confused and slightly worried expression.

You wanted to scoff at her question. How dare she ask that when she had promised to be here? "Oh, you know," you shrugged, taking a few steps towards her, "Just waiting for my girlfriend who was supposed to be here almost four hours ago." Your voice rose with pent-up anger towards the end, and you could see Vanessa flinch slightly at the sound of it.

"Y/n…I lost track of time, I'm sorry, really I am, I-" She started to apologize, but you cut her off, not in the mood for her excuses.

"Do you know what today is?" you asked, your voice heavy with disappointment. Vanessa looked even more puzzled, and you let out a sigh as you walked over to the table and picked up the small gift box you had prepared for her. You fiddled with it between your fingers, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill.

"June 7th," you said, looking back at Vanessa, hoping she would finally understand. But she still looked confused, and you felt your heart sink. "The day we started dating, two years ago. Does it not ring a bell, Vanessa? Or were you too busy thinking about work or some other woman while you were out all night?" you couldn't hold back your anger any longer, and you let out a loud yell, tears now streaming down your face.

"Oh…" Vanessa mumbled, finally realizing her mistake. You nodded, wiping the tears from your cheeks, but they kept coming.

"Yeah…" you said, your disappointment evident in your voice.

"Baby, I know I've been really busy and lost track of time, but please try to understand-" You cut her off abruptly, rolling your eyes and turning away.

"Here we go again…" you mutter under your breath, feeling her glare burning into the back of your head as you make your way to the bedroom. You toss the gift box in the trash on your way, feeling frustrated and angry.

"What do you mean?" she asks, following you into the room. You let out a sigh and close the door behind you, but she stops it with her foot and pushes it open, grabbing your arm and spinning you to face her.

"Don't you dare walk away when I'm talking to you," she says coldly, but you scoff and pull your arm away.

"No, you don't get to act like you haven't been doing the same thing for the past week. You always do this, yet whenever I try and speak up about it, I'm the bad guy? That's complete bullshit!" you yell, jabbing your finger into her chest.

"And don't even try to pretend that you've only missed spending time with me once. You do it every single day," you continue, your voice cracking as tears start to well up in your eyes.

"Every time you tell me you'll be here, you never are. And when I try to talk to you about it, you just shut me down and tell me the same bullshit excuse or you just flat out tell me to get over it. But it's getting harder and harder to ignore, Nessa. And this morning, I had to beg you to stay. You said you would, and I believed you. But then you showed up later than ever and didn't even respond to my messages. You didn't even remember what today was. At this point, I’m convinced I’m just some inconvenience to you." Your voice breaks as you continue to pour out your feelings, wiping away the tears that are now falling freely down your face.

She looks at you in surprise, wanting to reach out and comfort you, but you take a step back and wipe away your own tears before taking a deep breath and looking away from her.

"I'm tired of feeling like I'm not important to you, Nessa. I just want to spend time with you and feel like I matter to you. Is that too much to ask?" you say, your voice barely above a whisper now.

Vanessa let out a heavy sigh before shaking her head in frustration.

"Y/n, I love you, but I have responsibilities and obligations that I can't always put on hold for you," she said with a huff.

You looked at her with hurt and confusion in your eyes, crossing your arms and turning away. "Am I not important to you anymore?" you mumbled, your voice trembling.

Vanessa's sigh pained your heart as you heard it. "Of course you are, but you just don't understand," she started, but you interrupted her with a pleading look.

"Then help me understand," you begged, taking her hands and pulling her closer to you. You pressed your forehead against hers, desperate for her to see how much this was affecting you. "Please… I want to understand," you whispered, gazing into her eyes.

She looked away, her jaw clenching as she pulled her hands away from yours. Your heart sank as she avoided your gaze, and you clenched your fists in frustration.

"Okay," you said quietly, finally accepting that she wasn't going to explain. You pushed past her and left the room, heading to the living room.

You didn't hear her follow you as you grabbed your coat and began putting on your shoes. As you searched for your keys, you heard Vanessa enter the room and stand in the middle of it, watching you. But you didn't acknowledge her as you grabbed your wallet from the table behind her.

"Where are you going?" she asked, her tone a little more stern.

You ignored her and continued searching for your keys, finally finding them between the couch cushions. You stood up and began walking towards the door, but she grabbed your arm and turned you around forcefully.

"I asked you a question," she glared at you.

You glared back and snatched your arm away, walking past her towards the door. But she followed you, grabbing your arm more harshly this time and turning you around.

"No, you don't get to leave-" she started, but before she could finish her sentence, you had already raised your hand and slapped her across the cheek.

You were shocked at your own actions and immediately regretted it as you saw the red handprint on her cheek. You both stood there in silence and shock before you finally mumbled a quick apology and left.

She eventually made her way back to the bedroom, her heart breaking as she heard your car speed away. If she had stayed just five seconds longer, she would have heard the sound of another car zooming by and a loud crash. If she hadn't fallen asleep just ten minutes later, she would have heard her phone ringing.

But she would see all of that in the morning.

All those ideas are so good! but my favorite is the cursed Targbros with an immortal life remembering what they could have been and what really was. Especially Aegon, he would probably blame himself for listening to Otto/Alicent and taking the crown and screwing up his life and his brothers'. He really believed for a moment that he was doing this to protect Jace but in the end his war killed her (aaand basically the entire family 😬) and now he can't even follow her into death. You don't have to write it down but can we talk more about that? 🥲 tell us your vision of this universe

I love talking about these things and I’m probably going to talk a little TOO much here but that’s ok 🥲

For what it’s worth, I would like to write this one day, but it would probably be a longfic and I want to focus on completing The Main Timeline before I start working on spinoffs. Modern AU is an exception because it’s a lot more lighthearted, and I can put that out one at a time as shorter fics when I need a break from heavier stuff.

^most iconic shot IMO from the Goblin Kdrama that inspired this idea. I’ll continue my rambling under the cut so I don’t spoil the show for anyone who was thinking of watching it.

Like the show, the fic would be dual timeline with cuts between the medieval Dance era and the modern era. In the modern day, the three Targbros are wandering around in their sad immortal forms. (Helaena’s role TBD, but I like the idea of her being an equivalent of the all-knowing granny in the kdrama.) Some of their memories have been locked away, but they remember enough to know they’re brothers, and their immortality has been given as a punishment. The three of them all have to do stuff that they hate. Aegon, like the kdrama grim reaper, is stuck in the bureaucracy of the afterlife sorting death paperwork. Aemond, like the goblin, has to help people *shudder*. Haven’t figured out Daeron’s job, but it probably involves being mean/violent.

Velaryon girls have been reborn into the modern world without any memories of their past lives. When they all meet, that triggers some of the Targbros’ memories to come back, and the bros freak out as they start to remember all the war crimes, treachery, etc.

Aegon’s past is very similar to the kdrama grim reaper’s backstory. He was a king who listened to bad counsel, which led to him giving the order to execute his beloved wife. Afterwards he felt so guilty that he drank himself to death/was poisoned.

Aemond, like the kdrama’s goblin, killed A LOT of people during his human life. He also caused Luce’s death in this universe’s history, which set off the Dance. He felt guilty but also doubled down on his actions (which I suspect is what Aemond will do in S2?), which led him on a downward spiral of mass violence.

Daeron (who doesn’t have an equivalent in the kdrama) came very close to finding a way to end the Dance without further violence. Joff sneaked over to meet him while he was traveling with the Hightower army to negotiate peace terms. But there was some miscommunication/betrayal (maybe caused by Hugh and Ulf), maybe some accusations of dark sorcery, which led to the army leaders having Joff burned at the stake.

Fast forward to modern day, where the girls (who are reborn as sisters because I don’t wanna keep them apart) are dealing with normal life issues like trying to pay bills, dead-end jobs, etc. Suddenly these three randos show up, acting overly familiar and having very extreme mood swings (because they’re dealing with resourcing memories). And the girls are just like… “They’re hot but they seem kinda crazy, idk. 🤨”

I haven’t really thought of the rest, sorry 😅.

cingulomania · michael kinsella x reader

cingulomania (n.)

a strong desire to hold a person in one's arms

pairing: michael kinsella x reader

word count: 1.6k

warnings: MY BLOG IS 18+ ONLY MINORS DNI. little angst, hurt-comfort, mentions of verbal abuse (sort of), protective!Mikey

a/n: (repost cause I accidentally deleted this off my blog 😬)

SUPER SAIYAN SELF-INDULGENCE GOOO! ( •̀ ω •́ )y Have this small rusty thing before I get swallowed by my 2nd semester at uni

Divider by @firefly-graphics.

Sitting on the steps in front of Michael’s house, the door pressed cold against your back, causing you to shiver. His laughter drifted over to you over the fence as you did your best to fight the lump building back in your throat.

Normally, you’d be happy that he spent the evening over at Jimmy’s - at least he wasn’t cooped up alone. He was in company, surrounded by his family —

Family.

The very word made you choke right now.

The laughter quieted, and after some hushed goodbyes, you heard his footsteps approaching, the gentle rhythm stopping abruptly as he spotted you on his stairs.

“Shit, ’s that you, pet? What happened?”

You wanted to answer but fighting your tears took too much out of you. Hours ago, when you had nowhere else to go, it seemed like a good idea to run crying to Mikey. But when you found out he’s not home, it woke a new, bitter anger in you. So you sat down here, sulking and bathing in self-pity. Probably catching a cold, too.

You turned away from him in shame, remaining silent. The sun was dipping below the rooftops, giving you hope that the growing dusk would hide enough.

Briskly, Michael walked up to you, voice laced with worry as he called out your name once more. Gently, he put a hand under your chin, turning you towards him and you could hear his breath hitch when he saw your tear-stained face and red eyes.

His whole body tensed, eyes darkening dangerously as he drew a deep breath.

“Who did this to you?”

Lips quivering, all you could do was let the tears fall as you closed your eyes. You didn’t need to say anything; he knew the answer already. Cursing, Michael reached over your head, hands trembling with anger as he tried to fit the key into the lock.

You were a useless mess, sniffling and wiping your face with the sleeve of your sweater, trying to make yourself as small as possible. You wanted to apologize. You wanted to explain that it wasn’t that bad, and really, you shouldn’t have come. It’s alright. It happened before.

You’ll live, right?

But then why did you feel so stupid and pathetic. Why couldn’t you say something, anything.

The door creaked open, Michael pushing past you to get inside while you just choked quietly on a sob. There was the familiar click of the light switch, and a curse or two more from Mikey as he hauled you up in his arms.

And all you could say was sorry.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry; you kept repeating as your face pressed to the crook of his neck, drowning in your tears and his scent. The softness of his sweater and his embrace felt like his love was cutting you open, your very being exposed: raw and vulnerable and inflamed and his hand caressing down your back, running along the seams of your soul where the stitches came undone.

And his lips pressed against your forehead, burning your skin, setting you alight.

You weren’t sure how long you two stayed like this. By the time you calmed down, the room was swallowed in darkness, Mikey sitting on the couch and you on his lap, huddling closer for warmth. You broke the silence with a small cough, only now registering the itchy soreness in your throat.

“Wanna tell me what happened?” Michael asked softly.

You shrugged, pressing your face against his chest.

“The usual.” you mumbled quietly. “It just… just got out of hand a bit.”

He took a deep breath, pulling you closer. “’m sorry.”

This wasn’t the first time you came to him for comfort and by now, he was more than familiar with the arguments you had with your family. It made his blood boil just to listen to you talk about the constant, petty quarrels you got caught up in with them, the way they treated you like absolute shit.

Countless times, he offered to talk - or preferably, beat - some sense into them, but you always declined. Sweet you, always hoping, always reassuring him it’ll be fine.

“It’s not your fault.” You continued. “It started small, y’know? I don’t even remember what it was now. Isn’t that crazy?” You let out a weak, unimpressed laugh. “But then something got in me… I-I snapped back at them and we all started yelling, and screaming and it was bad. Like, bad. Just grabbed my phone and…”

Your voice cracked, and it broke his heart to see you so vulnerable and hurt, even if it was such a frequent part of your life. That in a grotesque way, you made it sound natural. But the bastards you called your family could put even a Kinsella to shame.

Mikey rubbed your back, pressing another kiss to your forehead. “Don’t apologize, love. You did good, coming here.”

He was more than ready to help and hell, there wasn’t a thing that he would not do to protect you. Even so, there was one thing that he couldn’t wrap his head around tonight.

“Why didn’t you call me?”

You groaned, pressing against him impossibly tighter. “I dunno. I felt guilty.”

“Guilty?” he asked, taken aback.

“Yeah. Like I expected you to just be here, waiting to fix this for me. But then you weren’t here, and I realized I can’t keep doing this to you. You deserve better.”

“Oh, love.” He said, pulling back from you only to slide a hand to your face, palms warm against your tear-stained face and you couldn’t help but sigh as you leaned into his touch. “There’s not a thing I wouldn’t do for ya’, you hear me? I’ll always be here for you.”

“Michael…” Despite your best efforts, a few more tears rolled down your face, but he was quick to wipe them away.

“Shhh. ‘S okay. You just say the word, and I’ll deal with ‘em.” he said, gaze dark and intense. “Just one word ‘s all you need.”

There was a sincerity in his eyes that should have scared you, but it made you feel safe instead, guarded from any harm. Still, you couldn’t help the breathy laugh at what he was suggesting. “Thank you, but I think I’ll keep them around for a bit more. In spite of everything.”

You put your hand over his, sighing in content, finally truly calm.

“Can I spend the night?” you asked, voice still a little shy.

Michael snorted. “Bold of ‘ya to assume I’d let you go back to them.” He wrapped his arms tighter around you as if driving his point home.

After a bit of comfortable silence, he shifted a bit and took a deep breath before speaking. “Listen pet, I’ve been thinking.”

Oh damn. Your anxiety wasted no time to flare up again, mind going haywire over what he would want to say. Did he suddenly change his mind?

“So I’ve been wonderin’ for a while and, uhh…” He cleared his throat, fidgeting a bit more before blurting it out. “I think you should move in with me.”

Oh.

You felt speechless, your heart leaping to your throat. It’s not that you didn’t want it - in fact, it was something you’d be more than happy to do. But still, there were a few things holding you back. The longer you stayed silent, the more worried Michael looked.

“What’s wrong? That not somethin’ you were thinking of?”

“No, it’s… it’s not that. I’d love to, Michael.”

He sighed, a little upset. “But?”

“I just don’t want you to run into this because you feel like you have to. I appreciate it, I really do, but I dealt with my family this long… I can take it a little longer.”

Michael huffed, averting his eyes. “I can’t though.”

“What?”

“I can’t.” He repeated, a bit more sternly. “I can’t keep sitting here, doin’ nothing when I know how they treat you, how they abuse you every day.”

You felt new tears welling up in your eyes, feeling more loved than ever before. “Michael…”

“Listen, let’s just try it, ok? And if it’s not working out or…” he paused, his voice a little weaker. “...if it’s not what you imagined, then we’ll help you find a place, yeah?”

You pondered it over again, lips pressed into a thin line but deep down, you already decided.

“Okay. Yeah, okay, let’s try.”

The way his face lit up warmed your heart, and he pulled you back into his embrace again. “You won’t regret it, pet. Trust me. I’ll keep you safe here.”

Damn him, and damn your tears again. You quickly wiped them away as a new fear making home in the pit of your stomach. “I’ll have a lot of stuff to pack though, and I’m not sure they’ll let me back.”

“Don’t ya’ worry your pretty little head over tha’. I’ll go with you, and we’ll take Jimmy. We’ll help you pack… and nothing else, I promise.” he added, with just a hint of mischief when you gave him a stern look. “Unless you want us to take Eric to scare ‘em.”

You couldn’t help but giggle at that, snuggling up against him, head on his chest and for once, you felt like you had a way out of this. “I love you, you know that?” “Mmm. Had a hunch.” He leaned down, whispering an ‘I love you too’ against your lips before kissing you, and it felt like nothing ever before. It was gentle, and caring, yet there was a possessiveness set deep in it that let you know he’ll always take care of you.

Baby Reindeer Review

This was amazing. I binged it in one day.

The limited series follows Donny, an unsuccessful comedian who meets Martha, an older woman who develops an obsession and begins to stalk him. It is the true story of Richard Gadd, who both wrote and stars in it, which makes everything that happens feel even more intense and haunting.

My review is under the cut, out of respect for people who don’t care what I have to say.

I was lucky enough to see Baby Reindeer live when it was simply a monologue so when I learned it was being turned into a series I wasn’t sure if didn’t it would translate to television well, but it actually did.

(Although I still think that nothing compares to hearing this story told just a few feet away from you. That was incredible. Anyone who knew me in the months after I saw it can tell you that I could NOT stop talking about it.)

And that’s why I was SO excited for the show. Now let’s get back to the point.

Do not watch this if you can’t take secondhand embarrassment. They show a little of Donny’s stand up sets and they are the definition of cringe. If that’s what his stand up was really like, it’s no wonder he shifted to drama. 🤷🏻

Also don’t watch this if you can’t handle feeling uncomfortable. The continuously rising conflict made me feel increasingly stressed. At certain points I wanted to scream at my TV for Donny to make better decisions. Cause OMG, this entire show could be summarized just by saying: whatever could go wrong, will go wrong.

The person I watched this with mentioned multiple times that she didn’t find Donny to be a sympathetic protagonist and I understand why some people might feel this way. He falls into an endless cycle of downward spiraling that might make you catch yourself victim blaming from time to time. 😬

But I sort of went in the opposite direction. In my opinion, so much happens to Donny that you kinda can’t help by sympathize with him. I found myself thinking what would happen if I had to deal with everything Donny went through. I don’t think I’d survive.

As for Gadd’s acting he was SO GOOD. All the other actors were fantastic too, but I was extra captivated by him, which isn’t surprising considering he actually went through the events he was depicting. Still, the fact that he could replicate that raw emotion, fear, anger, it made it feel like so real. I don’t wanna give spoilers, but there were parts that made me absolutely lose it. (When I saw it live it actually did make me cry, but I held it together this time around.)

Jessica Dunning, who plays Martha also absolutely shined. She essentially played a crazy woman who is pretending to be sane, but slowly getting most transparent until she is all out undeniably mad. And she did so remarkably. I think it takes a really strong actor to play such a layered role and do it convincingly.

I liked the way the effects were done. I particularly enjoyed that when Donny was really overwhelmed and scared there was usually a close up and some blurry, shaky shots (forgive me for not knowing any technical terms) that really made it feel so intense.

While watching you’ll probably reach multiple points when you think that it can’t possibly get any worse, but you will be proven wrong over and over and over again. But if you’re anything like me, you’ll become invested almost immediately. I could not look away. I did not want to miss a single moment.

So this was really jumbled and unorganized and I’m not actually sure if I said anything of substance but basically my point is Baby Reindeer was fantastic. You should definitely watch it. But fair warning, it might absolutely destroy you. Have something happy lined up for when you’re done. 🙃

WIP whenever!

@deputyash @strangefable @cassietrn & @inafieldofdaisies all tagged me to do WIP Wednesday over the past few weeks 😬 but it's 10 minutes into Friday for me so it's a whenever with apologies for the somewhat giant delays! 💙💙💙

This WIP isn't art or writing it's cosplay cause that's what I'm working on! I do have a little written thing coming together but it's all in my head, almost fully formed but I haven't done any typing. Oop.

Anyway! I'm working on a Gale BG3 cosplay & wizard robes for my Dark Urge wizard Mercy. At the same time cause they're the same robes, Mercy was a test of the pattern & it turned out fantastically so it's time to start on Gale. I like to cosplay my video game boyfriends. Don't judge me.

My girl - my boy (who gets a reference photo instead of a glamour shot)

Bunch of WIP photos with commentary below the cut!

Patterning this belt made me want to cry so many times but Gale's is now done except the press studs to close it & Mercy's is ready to be riveted together tomorrow.

Front & back view of Mercy's robes! They were supposed to be a practice really but I went a bit nuts, overlayed a floral black lace over a colour shift purple for the sleeves, same purple for the little sash-y thing on the front. Metallic copper for the back panel/belt & gauntlets (which are nowhere in any photos cause I haven't patterned them yet)

Mercy is a necromancy wizard so I wanted dark & a bit creepy, so the purple/green shift was perfect. It's curtains I picked up from Savers a while ago. The lace was also thrifted yeeeears ago from a theatre sale, black was destined for some forgotten project, Jedi robes maybe? I only bought the copper leatherette for these robes, very good job if I may congratulate myself a little. ☺️

Closer view mostly cause I love how this shows the colour shift in the purple. The gold buttons are temporary placeholders til the actual fastenings arrive, ordered them from an Etsy store called IllustrisModels! 2 sets one for her, one for him.

Finally, & I know this one is boring, fabric choices for Gale! It's a purple linen, a red velvet & 2 brown suedes, the darker one the belt & gauntlets are made of & a lighter brown for the shoulder/back piece. I did have to buy the linen for this & linen is expensive but it was on sale. I realise I'm talking a lot about purchases for seemingly no reason, I had a goal this year to destash as much fabric as I could instead of buying fabric but I did give myself allowance to buy some cause specific projects need specific things sometimes!

That's it! That's my current project! With a lot of rambling. I'm excited to get them done & have nowhere to wear them. But I might wear the black robes out to lunch or something if we go somewhere fancy. Technically *not* cosplay. Just *inspired* and therefore acceptable. Says me.

Rina Spin-Dip Prediction Fic

Dedicated to/Request by: @rinadotcom ily so much. I am so sorry this took me so long to write. I got busier than expected and I think it was good to wait because now I have more context! Do I think this prediction fic is actually how episode 5 will go? Honestly…. I think I’m reaching. But I was really excited to write it, so thank you for the request! SIA if there are any typos 😬

Trembling hands. Beating hearts. The silence in the room was sharp, tangible. Gina held onto Ricky’s arms for dear life, her hands trying to avoid letting go. Their eyes gazed every part of each other’s face… mouth, nose, eyes, lips. It was as if they were studying a painting, wanting to hold onto every detail. Ricky’s arms embraced tightly around Gina’s back, feeling every curve and twist of the fabric on her shirt. He could stay like this forever.

“Whoa,” Gina gasped under her breath, loud enough for only Ricky to perceive.

What she wasn’t aware of, was two more echoes of her sentiment from across the room, coming from Ashlyn and Val. Ashlyn knew of Gina’s old feelings for Ricky, but also felt like Gina had tried to move on with EJ. She wasn’t sure how close Gina and Ricky actually were outside of what Gina had said. However, she was consistently around EJ and Gina. From dinners at the house, to movie nights, to walks together… they grew close between the final play and summer camp. Val, on the other hand, had been growing more and more suspicious of Gina since the “incident”. The incident being when Gina point-blank asked her if she knew about EJ leaving and not telling Gina first. The incident which caused a larger rift in the relationship outside of EJ’s obvious jealousy of Ricky. Val hated being the middle man, but her integrity felt like she had to. EJ and Gina don’t communicate, so it was now Val’s turn to step in.

She knew EJ had been jealous of Ricky, but it wasn’t until she saw Ricky and Gina dance together that she was able to see the bond that held them so close. A bond, which she vowed to never tell EJ, seemed more connected than any other leads at camp. And they had all been so, so connected before. Silently, she celebrated a little. While she felt bad for EJ, she was proud she picked two main cast members that had so much chemistry it would make even the greatest scholars scratch their heads.

“A-and cut! That’s a wrap guys,” Val said, equally as shaken out of her thoughts as Ricky and Gina were to her sudden voice. While the pair broke apart, the tension continued to rise.

Gina, mentally needing to wrap her head around the feelings she had during that dance number, swept to the side of the stage to get a drink out of her water bottle. As she was taking a drink, she heard a voice say a sentence that made her nearly choke.

“You still like Ricky”.

“What??” Gina said, coughing on the water still stuck in her wind pipe.

“I said, you like Ricky,” Ashlyn said, in a surprised tone. “I don’t know why I didn’t see it still. I guess I just accepted after learning about your feelings for EJ, that that meant your ones for Ricky were gone. Dang, you were good at hiding what was really beneath the surface”. It was Ashlyn’s turn to choke a little. She didn’t realize how much of what she just said applied to her situation.

Gina grabbed Ashlyn’s arm tight, looked quickly from side to side, and pulled her further off stage- where she was sure no one would hear.

“Ow??” Ashlyn yanked her arm away.

“Sorry,” Gina said awkwardly. “Look, I don’t know what I feel. I just-“ Gina looked over at Ricky again. He had his same large, goofy grin on his face. The same one she saw when she teased him. Or when he sang to her. Or when she knew he felt truly happy. He was laughing with Carlos about something related to Olaf. She was so happy he was here.

“After everything with Nini and Lily, the chocolates, my relationship with EJ… thinking about anything related to that right now is too much”.

“Are you running away again?” Ashlyn didn’t ask this in a condescending or even a joking tone. It was more caring, gentle. It was about Gina’s feelings.

“No…” Gina looked at Ricky one more time. “At least, I don’t think I am”.

Later, after rehearsals, Ricky opened the door to his cabin, singing “What Do You Know about Love” in a giddy voice. His singing was cut off quick by a demand, however.

“When are you going to tell me?” Jet asked, in his usual assertive, dry tone.

“Tell you what, dude?” Ricky asked, beginning to feel his heart race.

“You said the other night I didn’t know the whole story. I want to know the whole story”.

Ricky felt his muscles tense, his face grew warm. “I told you, there is nothing more to say”.

Jet called him out immediately, again. “You never said that. You only said I didn’t know the whole story. Well, I’m listening”. Jet sat up on his bed and laid his phone next to his lap, propping his elbows on his legs. He was as attentive as ever.

And as annoying, thought Ricky. “Ok, so let’s say I did tell you, whose to say you’re not going to go off and tell someone else? Use it against me in the show? Hm?”

Jet jokingly put a hand to his heart, “oh Ricky! You hurt me!” He brought his tone back to normal. “You already know I don’t talk to anyone here and I really, really don’t care about being in that stupid show. Maybe it might be good to talk to someone you probably won’t ever talk to again after camp”.

Ricky got immediately defensive. Ricky knew Jet just had his walls up from all of the back and forth that happened between him and the other campers, but he felt hurt that Jet thought so little of him. Ricky felt a deep care for Jet, like a brother that he wanted to protect. Someone who seemed scared to face something new- camp- a feeling Ricky was all too familiar with.

“You know that’s not true”. Jet surprisingly didn’t fight this statement. “But… I remember in the woods you said I didn’t know your whole story either. How about if I tell you mine, you tell me yours? It can be like, some camp brotherhood pact or something. And we can promise never to tell anyone else”.

“Deal,” Jet agreed as he reached his hand across the top bunk, shaking Ricky’s as he stood below Jet.

Ricky walked to the other side of the room, flipping a chair around smoothly. He was obviously prepping to story tell.

“Well… it began on Valentine’s Day…”

Ricky surprisingly opened up easily to Jet about everything he had been keeping locked in. He explained that he actually did get Gina the chocolates, but with his relationship with Nini he felt too uncomfortable to tell Gina it was him. It might have been a romantic gesture, but everything was too confusing and he didn’t want to confuse her more. He explained that he wanted to confess how he felt after he heard Carlos talk about the “next girl” possibly being the right one, but how EJ bringing up his “eyes for Gina”, made Ricky feel uncomfortable getting in between. He told Jet how he felt like, maybe, Lily being around had been a sign that the next girl wasn’t Gina, but it was Lily. Until he realized how much he disliked being around Lily this summer and doesn’t know if he can ever forgive her for stealing his harness. Then he talked about returning to camp, thinking that this could be his do-over, even at friendship with Gina, but that he wasn’t sure if their relationship could be entirely reconciled, knowing he withheld the truth about the chocolates from her. Knowing, from movie night, that she hates liars. And EJ wasn’t a liar- anymore. If anything, sometimes he was too truthful. Like some of the comments he’s made at camp, or when he went through that incredibly uncomfortable “total honesty” phase on social media about half a year back.

“But it’s too late now. Gina is with EJ and she’s happy,” Ricky sighed as he finished up his confessional.

Jet raised his eyebrow as he looked past Ricky’s chair, out the window, “are you sure about that?”

“What-?” Ricky quickly looked behind him, nearly knocking his chair over. He saw Gina angrily shaking a paper at EJ out their cabin window. Ricky ducked down behind the chair, hoping they wouldn’t notice his peering eyes. He looked back at Jet, who made no effort to hide his eavesdropping.

“You lied to me, EJ!”

“Listen, Gina, I know I did at first, but I really was planning on telling you!”

“When? After Val? After Ashlyn? After every other camper? You should have came to me first. I’m your girlfriend! Not them,” Gina said, slightly softening.

“Well… definitely not Ashlyn, that’d be weird,” EJ joked, trying to soothe the tension.

Gina glared.

“Ok, ok, sorry G. I really am. It’s just you were spending so much time with Ricky, I got scared-“

“This isn’t about Ricky. Which, by the way, I really don’t appreciate the way you’ve been treating him. Like it or not, EJ, he’s my friend. And if you want to date me, you’re just going to have to deal with that!”

“I didn’t do any of this to hurt you, G. I never wanted to hurt you.”

Gina crinkled the letter a little in her hands, tears filling her eyes. She held onto it for a few seconds and then gently handed it to EJ. He took it with uncertainty.

“It’s too late for that, EJ. You lied. You hurt me,” Gina said, before she walked off into the dark.

Ricky sat in astonishment as he watched EJ, reeling as he stared at the piece of paper. Ricky began to contemplate what it might be, until he saw EJ look up and walk toward the door. Ricky quickly ran over to his bunk, sitting awkwardly on the bottom bed, playing with the ledge of his blanket. Jet picked up his game again, laying back down.

EJ walked in, not saying a word. “Oh hey EJ!” Ricky said, trying to act casual. EJ shook his head and walked to the bathroom. Sighing, Ricky put his head in his hands. What has he done?

The next day, after rehearsal, it was obvious Gina was not talking to EJ. She kept glaring at him from across the room and finding reasons to talk to anyone that wasn’t him. When rehearsal was over, Ricky began to put his chair away when he heard a voice behind him.

“What was it like? When Nini didn’t tell you she was leaving?”

Completely caught off guard, Ricky set his chair down and spun around to see Gina, eyes wet and afraid.

“Wha-what do you mean?”

“I mean Ricky, what was it like? On New Years, when Nini told you she was going to Denver. She didn’t say a word about it and then threw it at you out of nowhere. It had to have felt like something. What did you do?”

Ricky softened. He saw a girl, sad and distressed, looking for comfort. “It was more of what I didn’t do. I didn’t respond well. I was hurt, scared of change, felt lied to. I wanted so badly for us to work… that I overworked us. I didn’t let things go naturally and I think it hurt a lot more than just Nini and me”. Ricky stared into Gina’s eyes at this last sentence for a few seconds too long. Awkwardly, they broke contact as Gina responded.

“You know that you’re the only one I really-“

“Talk to about this? Yeah, I know. But maybe you should talk to EJ. He’s your boyfriend,” Ricky said with slight bitterness in his voice.

Gina was hurt. She wasn’t sure what she was more hurt by. The fact that Ricky wouldn’t listen to her, the fact that she recognized she was talking to everyone else but EJ… the same thing she was mad at him for, and the fact that this conversation felt very familiar to the one at Carlos’ Quinceañero.

“Oh-ok you’re right. I… I guess I will,” Gina hesitated to walk away. Every time she went to move her feet, it was like suddenly they were frozen to the ground. Time continued to move around her as she stood still, in this moment with Ricky. She didn’t want it to end.

Say something. Anything. She begged him in her head.

As if he heard her, Ricky’s voice shattered the silence, “Or you can wait here with me until you’re ready.” Ricky realized that when he was feeling all of the hurt and fear from everything in his life this last year, the one thing that made him feel better was when someone stayed. When someone reminded him that he was ok to be upset, and sat with him through the hurt. When his mom or Big Red held him in their arms as he cried or when Gina cared about his acoustic song idea when everyone else seemed too busy to care. The people that stayed were the people that cared and this time he would stay.

“Really?” Gina said, a small drop falling softly down her cheek.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Ricky said with certainty.

Gina walked close to him, hands pressed to her face, her head in his neck. Ricky enveloped her tightly in his arms as she shook anxiously, fear of losing someone she cared about obviously consuming her. He continued to hold her as she cried, knowing all the while, he’s been the reason she’s cried too.

✨ Ahh bless you! You must feel so restless when your mind is ready to get doing stuff but your body still needs to heal properly! *sending love* Also not ridiculous at all - caffeine is crazy addictive so two weeks is pretty impressive tbh! (cravings should start getting easier soon) And I've found that small changes at a time have helped me! no thinking about the end goal too much but rather enjoying the process of improving slowly? 🙈💖

Umm without giving too many personal details - crazy work busy but in a good way, home improvements underway (tiring) & maid of honour duties in full swing (all happy things obv but stressful in their own way) *I told you I'm a perfectionist right* 😭😆🙈😅🩷

[None of what I'm about to say is meant to cause any offence btw - you just made me genuinely wonder how I get over crushes semi-quickly and this is what I've realised]: I think it may be a self esteem issue tbh - cos no matter what kind of crushes I've had, I've never (and will never) put someone's wellbeing above my own? It's like that old plane metaphor of "you've got to put your own oxygen mask on first before you can help anyone else" so I honestly think the second you start putting YOU first, your feelings toward Jacky will inevitably change a bit? Because it's difficult to prioritise someone else when your thoughts are so focused on you and your own self improvements! 🥰💪🏻It may not be what you want/need right this very second but I do actually think it will happen for you one day! 💖 Your life is yours, not his 🩷

Forgot to reply to your 'no bday posts' yesterday - they for sure will be posting that shit on closed stories *tehe I'm not crying you are* 😆🤣🤣

Ooooh tigers messed up with players during covid howww?! 😬👀🫨

(also I need to know what dirt Anthony Watson has on giraffe because their relationship is jokesss) 😆😅

Cute pic 🥰

P.S really hope I haven't offended with anything I've said? 🙏🏻🩷

Yeah I feel a bit stuck and so my mind is a roundabound, so many improvements to make oulala ... good lord. Nurses said they worked well because scarS will be little.

Ooooh Nice !! Congrats on those it looks thrilling but also tedious.

No it doesn't sound patronizing don't worry, I mean my peeps told me "if it is the time for you to finally realize you need to stop doing it that it is now " because I wanted to go while I couldn't even walk properly. I STILL feel like I could have done it with loads of difficulties and would have been super sad at things going wrong along the way because I would have done a lot of efforts just to go.... I did lost some money in the process but was able to reschedule my hotels so at least there is that. I still need to write about what happened because even if I am okay now it still is an open wound as well. I still feel like the icon of that blog little smol bean kind of depressed. I want to rebirth almost and take all lightly and get back to back to my old self even perhaps retake my old username and give it all. It is gonna be difficult because I have based my identity on living with intensity and all is deep and final. When I want it to be in motion and to be light. I have looooooads of problems to fix starting with recognition. Validation by others. Idk where to start to be honnest but I do want the change. I cannot live that way anymore it hurts too much.

I feel super annoyed to know what is wrong without being able to fix it by myself only.

You are super right and it is not the first time you tell me that but if being self confident was easy to achieve I think the world would be indeed a better place.

I don't think they are that clever for closed stories I think you also see when it happens because it said this story isnt available. They have Whatsapp group and that awful bereal......... 🙄 that I never understood but sounds like a dream to have daily content. I dont even want to think about Snapchat.

They have been awful with wages management cutting money out of their players and big part in the decision of why Ellis left including his wife missing bristol.

I Guess it is better not to know some stuffs uh.... I hate To know it is gonna be sunday christmas party 😭😥😥😣 just to think about it 🤢

You did not, I am aware I may sound stupid crazy and obsessive sometimes.. I am not mental but I do know it seems insane to be that much intense. It is super difficult to quit on something / someone / a feeling that kept you alive for so long. I have seen that in him, my crutches like you said. Therefore when it happens to stick and you being so entitled with what make you feel real and good for even a moment...You are afraid that if you let go you will actually die. Better a little something even bad than nothing at all.

It is pretty egocentric as my intentions are not totally pure, if they were I would do anything for him to be happy including deleting my work if he was asking for it to be deleted or never to see him again if he wanted me to take distances but I am not sure I could do it totally. I do not know how to love properly, quietly. I am persuaded I am not a good person sometimes because good people know how not to be an embarassement for themselves and how to love correctly, polietly. I am a bit broken isnt? Am I crazy to you ? Or just lost ?

finally getting to Lone star 4x09 😂 I've been watching the episodes days late recently lol

(but 4x09 - BEST episode this season so far hands down, and possibly one of my faves ever, it was so fucking good)

thoughts and spoilers under the cut

aww Marjan's coming back??? yaaay I'm so excited 😍

idk why but all the joking etc in this scene feels kinda awkward and cringe and lowkey almost forced...? 😂 idk, maybe it's just me, it just feels weird 😂

awww Marjan is such a good person fr, she cares soooo much 🥺 she's amazing

ngl I didn't think we'd stick with the Grant and Kiley storyline for more than one episode, but it looks like he's... going after Marjan or something? 😬 it's exciting but also worrying (and I just realized I either didn't watch the promo or forgot everything about it bc I have no idea where we're going 😂)

Owen freaking out about the party is so funny lmao - I'm gonna say it once more: Rob Lowe is SO GOOD in comedic roles

oh shit Marjan 😱😱 and she was in the car that caused that family to crash oh my god 😱 oh I feel so bad 😰😰

and of course Grant is fine 🙄 I really want him to die tbh

seeing Marjan like this is literally making me tear up 😭 she's such a good person and this is what she gets for it, that's so not fair 😭

oh my god Mouse is the only one who survived?!??? 💔😭 are you kidding me, I wasn't prepared to be hit in the feels like this tonight oh god - and she's blaming herself noooo baby 🥺😭

I'm crying - they gave me a hurt Marjan and a little girl who just lost her best friend, and they broke me 😭

thank god they all know Marj so well and are so worried - and thank god for Grace always being the best 😭

I knew it was gonna happen but it still surprised - RIP Rick, he was just trying to help jfc

Grant needs to fucking die, get his annoying face off my screen 😠

OH SHIT and she got shot too???! don't fucking do this to me oh my god 😭 I cannot handle this

Mouse is fucking awesome, I'm praying she doesn't get hurt (and that Marjan will be fine)

my hear is breaking fr, my poor Marjan 😭💔

this episode is fucking good

the best this season so far, hands down

Marjan's a damn hero and they need to save her 😭😭😭

and, again, Mouse is fucking amazing fr

oh my god they're so close to her!!

they came for her and they're so close and she hears them and I'm fucking crying 😭

omg she has the flare gun is she gonna use it?!! YAAAAS!!! SHE KILLED HIM!! THAT'S MY GIRL! ❤️😍😍

omg is Mouse not really there??? did she die? what the fuck??? oh they got me with her fr

okay, I need to take a moment for Carlos in glasses and TK sleeping while hugging Carlos' arm because that's too adorable 😍 😂 look at them 🥺😍

wait what the fuck, so Mouse and that family were never in this car crash?! why are you messing with my emotions like this oh my god

oh my god Mouse was Marjan

oh my god

this makes it so much better and so much sadder

oh my god what

I'm literally sobbing 😭

her mom calls her mouse 😭😭😭

OH MY GOD THAT WAS SOOOO GOOD!!!

Mouse was Marjan!!! (lowkey crying bc she still feels guilty for that crash 😭) that was a twist I didn't see coming but it makes so much sense oh my god

it was Marjan's episode Natacha did an amazing job fr - I was a sobbing mess by the end of it

I love how this episode finally felt like they're all a family, you know, planning the party bc Marjan was coming back, and immediately knowing that something's wrong bc not showing up or not having her phone on is so unlike her - they know her so well 😭 - and they all worked together to save her and it was amazing

and Marjan!!! she basically saved herself, while barely able to walk, bleeding from her head and then after being shot???! she's so fucking strong and badass and amazing

(and I said multiple time that Mouse was amazing, which means - Marjan is SO fucking amazing)

and I love that we got at least a little bit of her backstory, about her family dynamics, with her parents not coming to her games etc (while Tommy sat through three hours of ballet, bless her soul, ballet sucks 😂)

I need an episode like that for every single one of them (but maybe with less near-death experiences pls 😂)

I literally loved it SO MUCH - it might be one of my faves episodes of this show ever tbh, so good (and to think my stupid ass wanted to drop this show two episodes ago wtf bitch lmao)

it was amazing, I need time to process lmao

😬 A headcanon about the worst thing they’ve done

😭 A headcanon about the worst thing that happened to them.

😶 A random headcanon!

You don’t have to do all of them 😭😭😭 I just I just

this is going under a cut because holy fucking shit. @interesteddisaster

Hinata

🧸 - When she was little, she couldn’t pronounce her name right, so a lot of people thought it was Hinana for like a really long time

👻 - Irrational fear of ducks

👽 - Does not swear ever. Makes everyone want to cry with the words she uses as replacements.

💤 - She has been able to lucid dream since she can remember and can’t figure out how to turn it off.

🫂 - You know this, but I want Tumblr to know this, so. She and Asaki first became sort of friends in early elementary, when Asaki pushed Haruto off a swing so she could get on. This was not because he liked her (he still hated her), but because he hated Haruto more.

💔 - Can’t seem to convince herself she’s a good person so she works herself half to death trying to do the best thing for everyone on a personal and global scale (while neglecting herself in the process). Positive she doesn’t deserve anything she has.

🪢 - Considers Tomomi and Asaki her brothers :)

📓 - LOVES those DIY craft videos. Her house is full of little DIY soaps and lip glosses and stuff.

🔪 - Runs people over with her wheelchair out of affection

🌟 - Wants to change the world and inspire people. Preferably through music or theatre.

🥇 - Best at… being a good sister :)

🍫 - Vegetarian! Tried to be gluten free & vegan in her past but it Did Not work. Girlie LIVES on pasta.

🎭 - Doesn’t like to lie, but when she does, it’s usually to protect someone else, and it’s as close to the truth as she can make it.

🖕- Never lets herself get angry. She’ll have one (1) vaguely upset thought about someone and then be like “I do not have all sides of the story. I will give them the benefit of the doubt. It’s probably my fault anyway. I am not allowed to be upset over this.”

😬 - She once sabotaged every other sprinter in a race so Asaki could win, since he was feeling really bad about himself and she wanted to cheer him up. Caused two broken legs on two different people. Never got caught.

😭 - I genuinely can’t figure this out. I have a vague idea but no details and either way it hasn’t happened in plot yet :)

😶 - Makes homemade candy and gives it to people. Can’t cook anything else. Everyone is BAFFLED as to how she’s mastered the handling of 300° sugar but can’t make a sandwich.

Nobu

🧸 - Does not remember his childhood (hmm, I wonder why /s) [his backstory hasn’t been fully fleshed out yet but it’s gonna be so bad]

👻 - Afraid of everything → tries to act like he’s not → fails miserably→ reads scientific papers about it until he’s less scared

👽 - Little guy is ENTIRELY weird quirks, like, there’s not a normal thing about him. He believes he’s a 17th century philosopher reincarnated. I don’t know why. He’s so weird.

💤 - Does not sleep ever. If he does, it’s on the floor. Has to be bribed by Hinata to use his bed (bribery often does not work).

🫂 - Has imaginary friends to make up for lack of irl friends. He doesn’t like calling them “imaginary friends” though. He says it’s childish, so he calls them acquaintances from his past life.

💔 - Absolutely TERRIFIED of going back into the system. Still doesn’t quite feel safe at home, still finds himself with urges to mask and hide and act normal to make sure Momnata doesn’t decide she’s sick of him.

🪢 - Has lived with the Suzuki family for five years. Before his adoption he can’t remember much, but sometimes he is reminded of a little boy just a few years older than he is, who taught him first how to walk and then how to love.

📓 - He doesn’t play any instruments, but taught himself to read all forms of music notation anyway. He creates those sheet music art pieces of his favourite birds.

🔪 - This kid does not have a single violent bone in his body. Sorry.

🌟 - Doesn’t know what he wants to do yet, but probably something very technical, scientific, and too confusing for anyone else too comprehend. May end up one of those crazy reclusive mathematicians who spends decades on one problem.

🥇 - Best at overthinking

🍫 - Loves to cook. Will cry if he makes something for you and you don’t like it.

🎭 - Absolutely the most brutally honest little asshole you will ever meet. Unaware of lying as a concept. Never heard the word before in his life.

🖕- Writes aggressive letters to the mayor &/or specific companies’ CEOs when he discovers social or environmental injustices. None of them ever get answered

😬 - Poisoned someone

😭 - Hehe :)

😶 - Spills all of Hinata’s secrets to her new friends, even the really embarrassing ones. Also, unrelated: idolises Asaki to a concerning level. Also also, takes EVERYTHING personally.

Asaki

🧸 - Childhood? What childhood?

👻 - He’s scared of a lot of things but has been taught he can’t show it. When Tomomi came around he wanted to strangle it because he was so afraid of Hinata abandoning him.

👽 - There’s nothing normal about this man. He needs therapy so so bad. But like… he’s really superstitious. Will cry if you break a mirror.

💤 - Can’t sleep a lot of the time. Struggles to get to sleep because of paranoia and struggles to stay asleep because of nightmares. Ends up having a lot of late night talks with Nobu.

🫂 - Has only had one friend ever (Hinata). Will bite scratch maim kill if he thinks there’s a threat to her or to their relationship.

💔 - This guy’s entire backstory is angst but uhh… eventually he starts feeling really bad about how he treated Tomomi which makes him start spiralling and pushing everyone away CERTAIN he doesn’t deserve to be loved

🪢 - When Momnata finds out what he’s going through at home, she works with some higher-ups to get him legally removed from his home. In the meantime, she just illegally adopts him. Extended sleepover starts now.

📓 - Speaks 10 languages plus conlangs, fluent binary & Morse, and multiple coding languages. Can play 8 instruments. Both these things may or may not be coping mechanisms.

🔪 - Punches people who hurt (intentionally or accidentally) Hinata, Nobu, or Naomi. Has punched Tomomi four times.

🌟 - Just wants to feel safe somewhere. Secretly wishes for the death of his father. Nobody knows about either of these things.

🥇 - Best at being a sad little train wreck of a human being. Does pretty impressive coding stuff, too, I guess.

🍫 - Doesn’t eat much. Could not give less of a shit about food. Eats what’s easiest because he has to.

🎭 - Lies a lot about a lot of things. Works with Hinata to stop lying a lot about a lot of things. Still struggles to tell people the truth about how he’s doing.

🖕- Uses anger to conceal all other emotions. Gets really pissed really easily. Goes straight to “fuck you fuck you bite scratch kill” immediately instead of any effort at communication or repair. Nobody is surprised why he has no friends.

😬 - Does punching Tomomi in the face (with his prosthetic) count?

😭 - There are genuinely so many things I could say for this one, but uhh… he once had to hide his sister and mom underneath the porch floor from his dad because he was threatening to kill them. Bad hiding spot. Only he and his mom made it out alive.

😶 - Is literally the only reason Hinata isn’t completely failing English.

Momnata

🧸 - Used to love those huge rainbow swirl lollipops. Got one for every holiday. Would collect the sticks. Still has some somewhere.

👻 - Has a lot of secrets. Afraid someone’s gonna find them out and ask questions and then she’ll lose everything.

👽 - Not really a quirk, more of a?? Talent?? But since her students work with dangerous acids, chemical waste, and sometimes fire, if someone screams/yells/makes any sort of shocked or afraid noise, she is going to be at their side in less than 5 seconds. Girl will jump over tables if need be. She is MAKING SURE that nobody’s gonna get chemically wasted on her watch.

💤 - Yells at her children all the time about the importance of a full night’s sleep (9 hours and 27 minutes for teens). None of them listen.

🫂 - Her closest friends are the lady she shares a classroom with & the other science department teachers. Often works with them to try and make things easier for struggling students.

💔 - Often has to sit and watch while her kids battle through things she doesn’t know how to make better. Kind of breaks her heart but she can’t do anything about it.

🪢 - Was married to Asaki’s dad before she realised what an ass he was and left with a significant amount of his fortune. Stole his son 14 years later.

📓 - Really good chemist! Adores Nobu’s interest in cooking and Hinata’s interest in creating cosmetics because it means they could one day follow in her footsteps (they will not).

🔪 - Did boxing in high school and has to restrain herself from physically harming people when she sees them harassing others.

🌟 - Just wants the best for her kids (Asaki and her students count as her kids).

🥇 - Best at giving big hugs and making good soup

🍫 - Absolutely happy to let Nobu take over cooking dinners. Has given up on trying to oversee his use of dangerous tools.

🎭 - Tells lies & breaks rules in favour of her students on occasion. Will cover for them if they need more sleep, a snack, a night off, whatever.

🖕- Gets so so angry at some of the ways her students are treated. Can’t do much about it though. Has many voice memos on her phone that are just her screaming.

😬 - From a legal standpoint? The snatching of Asaki’s dad’s money and children. From a moral standpoint… refusing to tell Asaki and Hinata just how close they really are. For selfish reasons. Ough.

😭 - “Was in a pretty abusive relationship in high school. Yikes.” (Apparently that’s all Sunnie has to say on the matter so that’s all you’re getting).

😶 - Will sponsor anyone’s therapy except her own. Does not think anything could be wrong with her. Consistently invalidates Hinata’s anxiety, OCD, and autism because of this.

Whooo I really am writing that bulleted list about mistholme s4e11 bc owie! under the cut:

Throughout this I'm going to continue to call guide guide even if that's not technically its name, mostly cause it proved too confusing for me to keep track of after a while, ill probably get used to it eventually tho

Starting off easy with the interdepartmental turmoil lol

Retrieval bro why u gotta be so rude

'does the guide get a vote' I MEAN YOU'D THINK SO AFTER ALL THIS TIME LMAO

The wish engine is just so wild man though I do think what you wish for and what you get will be very different, especially when you consider what it did when asked to not exist

Research's resentment is palpable D:

Side note I like her va's voice it is very nice :)

what I wouldn't give for a qna episode during a season break with all the vas

The museum is really struggling to keep itself together after everything nowadays, u gotta wonder what it's like for the patrons lol

Tbh this was such a plot heavy episode but it didn't feel full of exposition, which is great

Lmao ma'am did you forget abt the recording you requested??

Idk if we already knew that restoration is called diana, but either way neat!

Damn it retrieval you've jinxed it

Here we start the emotional damage :'(

Beast kinda forgot abt its curator story and I didn't notice until I relistened 😫

IT'S SO SUS HERE HELP

The guide puts so much trust in beast and it hurts me so much that it's misplaced get guide some more non abusive friends 2022

the voice actingggggg u can hear guides fear it's so aghhhhh

'Won't be happening anytime soon' AAAAAA???????

He broke out the villain speech O_o

OH DANG

IT'S NAME IS MISTHOLME

IT'S THE WHOLE MUSEUM

HELP

AGHFJDDJKGKVKDKDKJSEFCH

HOW DARE YOU APOLOGISE U ASS

'you just see a beast' IT SAID YOU WERE ITS FRIEND HOW COULD YOU

THE FACT THAT GUIDES DEHUMANISATION OF ITSELF WAS THE CRUX OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DIDINT THINK IT HAD A NAME OR MEANINGFUL IDENTITY HURTS SO MUCH

IT MADE AN IDENTITY FOR ITSELF WITHOUT KNOWING AND HAD IT RIPPED AWAY BY BEAST PAINNNNN

IT'S TAKEN CONTROL OF GUIDE AAAAAAAGH

IT'S 'FRIEND' IS THE MAN WITH THE VOICE?????????

(though I have to say that switching TMWTV's gender was a genius move in making me be completely blindsided by this reveal bc I hadn't even considered him a possibility..... dang it's just so smart)

also im so angy that we started off w an antagonistic character, thought it had some good in it, then it turns out it actually was antagonistic... emotional turmoil :’(

Stares at the beast backstory episode that is now also a TMWTV backstory episode

*flashbacks to hello jon apologies for the deception*

(was it a reference? It would make me laugh through the pain it it actually was)

It's completely loyal to TMWTV..... it knows what it's doing is wrong and is still doing it???

me, sobbing: beast you absolute bitch we all trusted you we thought you were cool

OOH I DON'T LIKE HOW BEAST HAS CONTROL OF GUIDE AND TECHNICALLY BY EXTENSION THE ENTIRE MUSEUM

IT KILLED EAGLE OH LAWD

IT'S GONNA KILL THE REST OF THE TEAM TOO AAAAAAA

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?? THAT BEAST GAVE GUIDE PERMISSION TO SPEAK AND IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING??????

(probably it was in shock understandable tbh)

WE THOUGH THIS WHOLE BUNCH OF PPL WERE GONNA BE PART OF THE FUTURE ENSEMBLE CAST HOW DARE IT

End notes:

obviously this bodes terribly for the museum– beast literally having guide under its complete control is absolutely horrible, which gets worse when you consider how much information guide holds since it straight up knows restorations and eagles names for starters. adding in how its only just become considered anything close to a colleague/friend to the triple r departments, this whole situation is gonna give it even more trust issues

both plots were built on heavily, on one hand narrative wise this was a phenomenal episode, on the other hand me very sad D':

also this season is spelling 'IRRESOLUTIO', presumably irresolution. foreboding 😬
