the ‘sunshine personified’ / ‘he makes everyone around him happy’ thing is sooo interesting because i don’t think we’ve really seen that from buck, have we? and by that i specifically mean in the fanon context of buck being the social PTA dad at all of chris’s school functions while eddie broods in the corner and only wants to talk to buck. if anything, we’ve seen the opposite behavior with eddie — he’s clearly good friends with chris’s friends’ parents, he was so happy and glowy when he first met the 118, he befriended may and linda so easily at dispatch, and i could go on and on.
he just seems to connect with people so easily, and i think a lot of that genuine friendliness is lost on people because he also has a tendency to get casually snarky with people he isn’t so fond of, whether it’s annoying temporary coworkers or selfish people on calls or opportunistic reporters. the same thing goes for his private nature vs. buck’s bleeding heart — it’s assumed that eddie isn’t a people person because he likes to keep his innermost feelings close to his chest and it’s also assumed that buck is good at instantly forming connections bc his feelings spill out of him at all times.
and like. it’s not that buck isn’t a kind and friendly person, but i do feel like his specialty is deep acts of love for the people he loves. idk if i’m articulating this right but i’m trying to point out that he’s never more ‘sunshine personified’ than when he’s with the 118 and co. he would do anything for them and he lights up around them in a way that he doesn’t really do with anyone else. and we haven’t seen him be so casually close to people outside that friend group.
when we got a glimpse of connor and buck’s friendship, it seemed more about what they could do for each other than about true connection. when we got that episode about buck and red, a lot of it was projection on buck’s part re. his fear of abandonment and his desire not to let his future turn out like red’s and it was also about his need to fix things for everyone else so he can feel like he’s needed. when he met lucy, he was desperate to fill a void and not feel as hollow as he felt going home to taylor kelly every night with his sister and his brother in law and his partner gone.
don’t get me wrong, i’m not trying to ascribe selfish motivations to buck bc i do believe he always tries to do the right thing, but when it comes to people outside of the 118, with the way it’s been written in canon, i feel like those dynamics have always been more about his own issues than they’ve been about actual friendship. and this isn’t even getting into how he acts when he feels like someone new is encroaching on his territory (see: eddie in 2x01 and lena). idk….i just think that kind of casual connection comes so much easier to eddie for whatever reason. maybe it’s because his abandonment issues are a whole other flavor, or because eddie’s upbringing was so different from buck’s. either way, it’s so interesting and ppl blinded by fanon are really missing out.
i apologize for the long ass rambling and i don’t think i really articulated this well, so TL;DR — fanon sunshine buck and broody eddie do not exist in canon and i’m Very excited to see the way that mr. possessive, jealous, broody evan buckley acts when eddie meets someone new this week :)
no, you're so right about all of this, though! buck genuinely does light up and is at his most comfortable and golden retriever-like around the 118, because he sees them as family and trusts them so much—and i think people get carried away and attribute the same thing to everything else (like, for example, the social PTA dad thing). when in canon, buck on multiple occasions has not dealt with new people too well—whether it was eddie, or lena, or ravi...and now, as it looks like, tommy. and you kinda hit the nail on the head about how most of buck's relationships outside the 118 being very transactional in nature up to this point, it's sad, but it's true.
eddie is the complete opposite in this regard, though, like, the guy goes around collecting new friends like they're pokemon. lol. he is so wildly different to the fandom portrayal of him as this anti-social loner that i struggle with understanding how people even got there in the first place (i mean, i know why. but still).
anyway, buck's issues with jealousy and insecurity are sooo interesting to delve into as character flaws and so much more compelling than fandom's portrayal of him as a perfect angel baby who's never done anything wrong, but 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ at least i have canon giving me the stuff i want lol

Bobby Burgers headcannons that I will not argue about
Teddy is autistic and that’s why he feels so attached to the Belchers and why he has literal meltdowns whenever is routine is interrupted (i.e. when the belchers close the restaurant for a day)
Marshmallow takes Gene under her wing when he gets older and introduces him to the underground music world
And as a result Gene becomes a DJ by night and works at the restaurant by day
Even as an adult Gene lives at home with Bob and Linda
AND Gene becomes a drag queen on occasion, his stage name is Misty Gish
Gene is also Gederfluid but prefers He/Him pronouns (aged up)
I get queer vibes from Louise, especially because of how enamoured she is with Nat (seeing an out and proud lesbian is probably really euphoric for her as a young closeted queer girl
Louise is a K-pop stan! Season 8 episode 2 “The Silence of the Louise” Louise is seen singing K-pop with Millie and it just makes sense for her
In addition to that, Millie is Louise’s best friend aside from Tina and Gene
Teddy and Kathleen get married and Bob is the caterer
Mr. Fishoeder takes Louise under his wing as an adult and shows her the ropes of running a successful business
And as a result Louise takes over the restaurant
Tina becomes a kind of popular novelist/ghostwriter, especially in the romance department
I know that this is cannon but Tina writes fanfiction and posts it on the internet. She becomes a popular fanfic author
Tina is a true 2015 tumblr girly
Jimmy Pesto has depression, which is why he seems so bitter and aggressive all the time
He also secretly likes when Andy and Ollie give him hugs and J-ju’s dancing too
Bob has depression too. I mean come on, you can just tell that’s basically just cannon
The belcher kids learn sign language to have secret kid meetings in front of their parents
Tina and Zeke are end game
Zeke starts working at the restaurant in the later years of high school
Tammy has a major crush on Jocelyn but doesn’t know how to express it so it comes out as passive aggression and standoffish
Gayle is probably Autistic lol but she’s actually diagnosed
Tina is a swifty I don’t make the rules
SO IS GENE SO IS GENE
Gene and Courtney figure things out and they date all through high school
They break up after graduation and Gene takes it HARD. He doesn’t date anyone else for years afterwards
Maybe they get back together a few years later maybe they don’t I don’t have my heart set on anything
Rudy asks Louise out at some point in their lives and Louise says no. They remain friends but it’s never really the same after that
Mr. Fishoeder is bi and super into dudes
Ron is gay and in love with Hugo
(Maybe Hugo kinda reciprocates)
#bobs burgers#zeke bobs burgers#bob’s burgers headcannon#bob’s burgers#linda belcher#bob belcher#tina belcher#louise belcher#gene belcher#Courtney x gene#zekina#zeke x tina#teddy bobs burgers#mr fischoeder#fangirl

I don’t care about her living off of Elvis but I kinda wish Priscilla didn’t erase his other girlfriends from his story like Anita Wood, Ann Margret, and Linda Thompson
this is an interesting topic for sure. I’ve wondered if anyone else has noticed that there is kind of a hierarchy in the elvis world regarding girlfriends and friends of elvis. and it can especially be seen by what elvis presley enterprises chooses to promote
like for example, Dixie Locke and Priscilla became good friends later on in life. And I think that has influenced Dixie Locke’s book being sold on the Graceland website and maybe even why she was shown in the Elvis movie. You would definitely never see something like Ann Margret’s book or Joyce Bova’s being promoted. I have noticed that elvis presley enterprises doesn’t want to put any attention on girlfriends whose time with Elvis overlapped with Priscilla’s, like Joyce Bova, Ann Margret and Anita Wood for example.
even at Graceland where Elvis’ tcb ring is displayed I heard that the tour guide doesn’t mention that the diamond on it isn’t the original, and that the original diamond is with Ginger Alden as it was used to make her engagement ring which she still has to this day. regardless of what you think of Ginger, to completely ignore her engagement with Elvis is crazy to me
As for Linda I was honestly really surprised that she had no mention in the Elvis movie at all. I understand the movie was more about Elvis and the colonel’s relationship but to ignore almost 5 years of Elvis’ life with Linda is crazy. But I think it was to show some narrative like Elvis was never able to move on from Priscilla, which I don’t think is true and is unfair to women like Linda, Sheila and Ginger who had significant relationships with him. Idk how much control Priscilla actually has, especially now, and from my understanding she wasn’t involved in the movie but I sometimes think maybe Baz did certain things to appease Priscilla but I can’t say for sure👀
I think all Elvis history is worth knowing, and it’s definitely not fair to just pick and choose
what do y’all think?
#thank you for the asks#I will always take an opportunity to rant about Elvis#also yall that photo of ann margret and elvis???#they are both so beautiful that I’m not sure who to look at lmaoo#elvis presley#elvisaaronpresley#elvis#anita wood#Dixie Locke#Ann Margret#Joyce bova#Priscilla Presley#ginger alden#linda Thompson#elvis’ women#elvis history#elvis asks

Round 5 because I hyperfixate easily, and I think all the Spartans deserve kisses. My Achilles Heel is falling in love with fictional women. Anyway, hear me out:
-
Since the firing range had been down for maintenance, Linda-058 had been noticeably less enthused. Without being able to use Nornfang, she had quickly grown to be bored. So, thinking quickly, you suggested that she'd trying a game of accuracy or two. She wasn't very fond of pool, but she loved darts.
It was cute to see the concentration spread across her face before every throw of a dart. Part of you wondered if that was what it was like when she was behind a scope - the regal, calm, collected grace of the Sniper Goddess. When she turned to you and the red of your face, she gave you a playful wink. She won again, of course, but you got the consolation prize of a loving kiss from Spartan-058.
-
Kelly-087 has a tendency to steal your casual clothes. Even though most of your clothes don't exactly fit her, she will wear them. You'd be losing your mind looking for that sweater you could've sworn you had a week ago only for her to barge in with a guilty smile and returning it because "it doesn't smell like you anymore!"
She tends to do this when you or her are busy, and she doesn't get to see you as much as she would like. John caught her wearing one of your hoodies once, when Blue Team was on back-to-back missions, and she hadn't seen you in a month. Kelly nearly tackled you when she got to see you again.
-
In public, Cal-141 acts as expected of her and her reputation as a Spartan-II. But, in the privacy of your quarters, she lets the walls down and basks in the freedom of being her true self. It doesn't matter how long you've been together. Everything you do together is like the first time for her, and it never fails to fluster her.
Slow dancing together, cuddling, holding hands - she loves it all. By far, her favorite thing to do is to compare the sizes of your hands. It never fails to make Cal blush, and if you weave your fingers with hers and kiss the top of her hand afterward? She'll be red in the face thinking about it for the rest of the day.
-
Your relationship with Sarah Palmer was sort of an open secret aboard the Infinity. Despite you and the Commander doing your best to keep your relationship under wraps, it was obvious to observers. Every other Spartan under her command respected the hell out of her but were kind of afraid of her. Sarah was only this gentle with you and you alone.
One time, Captain Lasky had found her going over your gear before one of your missions with Fireteam Majestic, and he laughed at how quickly she turned red, stuttering excuses for messing with your armor at 0200. Roland will never let her hear the end of it.
-
I've been waiting to read this, also same, all the Spartans deserve kisses and hugs and someone to love them so much that they're kinda shocked by it but omg gets excited to be with their partner, anyways-
Linda is skeptical when her partner drags her to Spartan Town's activity room and hands her a case of darts. She understands the concept of them and has seen the IVs play, but she isn't sure why they would insist on her playing. Until she actually starts throwing them. Yeah, it's not firing off Nornfang but she's having fun figuring out how to adjust her aim every time she moves back. And she's not complaining when the reward of kisses because you both know she's gonna win.
Blue team 100% gives Kelly shit for stealing her partner's clothes, and she could care less. It's comfortable, and it's not her fault they can't rizz someone up. The rest of the team can tell when Kelly wants to see her partner because she gets restless and is practically hopping between one feet and the next during missions.
I just adore the idea of Cal getting flustered over someone loving her. She's heard Maria-062 talk about retiring and having a family, and she remembers all the other spartans looking at her weirdly. But Cal gets it now. Yes, there are things she doesn't always understand with relationships, but every time her partner kisses her hand or calls her beautiful, it feels like the first time for her.
Everyone is gonna know because of Roland. That AI is the number one shipper, and he's a snoop. But also Roland is a wingman. If Sarah and her partner are having a moment, sorry, spartan that area of the ship is down for maintenance. Even if it wasn't for the AI, all the IVs see how Sarah's shoulders relax when you enter the room during war game or how her eyes always scan the room and settle on you before giving her fireteams crap. And Lasky? He's loving this because he gets to tease her endlessly with Roland.
#halo#halo series#thank you for your patience#my mind has been dragging lately on responses#i just cant think of anything but i just adore reading these 💕#ask#asks#anon#submission#linda 058#linda 058 x reader#kelly 087#kelly 087 x reader#cal 141#cal 141 x reader#sarah palmer#sarah palmer x reader#halo x reader

-David as the Shaw Pack Teenagers run away
WE HAVE TEENAGERS IN THE SHAW PACK! HERES SOME THINGS ABT THEM!!
Find all the character intro here <3
✮⋆˙ idk if you've ever heard of Class Dojo, but they have it. Class Dojo is an app parents use to reward students with points for good behavior (and take points for bad behavior.)
The class teacher is Adria Wyndam (occasionally points are given by Linda Wydnam)
Points can be given for: eating three meal, showering, brushing ur teeth, doing homework, ect.
Points can be taken for: physical fights, property damage, all nighters, not eating, ect. (You can argue, if you pulled an all-nighter to finsih an essay your teacher then no points will be taken)
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ TEENAGERS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO GO TO SHAW PACK SECURITY GIGS
But.... someone could always sneak in....
It's a running contest to see who can sneak into more Shaw Security gigs. Which became harder when Christian found Felix once...
They started holding the meetings where the teens WOULDNT GO, instead of talking about the gigs at a pack meeting like they where.
But not they just sneak into those as well.
Willow has the highest record of sneaking into 7 gigs with out being caught.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ Lorelais apartment is like, free range. Between all the teens, theres one key. ONE. So if YOU FUCKING HAVE IT, visit her :]
Lorelai is a forensic sci major, so she spends a lot of nights passed out on her couch or at a library
But she always keeps her fridge decently stocked, and keeps blankets and pillows in the hall closet and plushies on the crouch, so anyone can crush if they need to.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ Shayfers just try and live their life, but he will walk downstairs at least 3 times a month to someone who does not live there.
Has walked down to see Felix sitting on the counter top at 5am with a bowl of cereal.
Has seen Sammy sneaking OUT the window (how long were they inside???)
Woke up and Willow was having a full blown conversation with Linda.... at 8pm at night.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ there's a jar in Sammy's bedroom marked "we fucked up" with just a bunch of bills in it.
Everyone contributes (even Lorelai), and there's a... concerning amount of money.
It's only been emptied twice, none of the adults know it exists.
It's bail money.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ a suprising amount of windows have been broken. Like... a weird amount.
If your doing something your not suppose to and your about to be caught, many times someone has thought a window was open and learn it's wasn't to late....
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ if you do not have good reflexes, get some
This pack is full of deranged teenagers, shit gets thrown. From pillows and objects, to candy and chips, to eachother. Fucking duck
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ Felix's cat has been, on rare occasions, kidnapped. Not by a stranger. By a teenager. It's a thing. The cat is always back with in 24 hours.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ they all go to the same school (aside from Lorelai, obv) but all kinda have their own friends and groups.
This said, passing in the halls is almost like passing by someone you REALLY DONT WANNA SEE.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
Like when you pass your older sibling and will either hide or smack the shit out of them (according to my friend, I'm an only child.)
Or, as mentioned, throwing shit across the halls at one another.
✮⋆˙ clothes occasionally go missing. Literally. Like, not "it goes missing bc someone else stole it."
Like someone else touched it and now it's gone.
Its kinds creepy.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ chilling in a pitch black room, nothing to it. Just chilling.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚
✮⋆˙ sneaking out (or if you have chilling parents, just walking out) to chill in random places, forest, parking lots, 3am shopping, ect.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡ ˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚

Regarding the new Nightmare Time, I haven't seen many people talk about the pig motif throughout the first episode, but it is something I find so genuinly insteresting.
Like, at the beginning, it is only presented as this really mean thing Roman says to Linda. It is demeaning and hurtful, and that it is only made worse by how intentional it is (ie when she expresses how much she dislikes it and he waves her off). It is Roman asserting his place above Linda from which she cannot escape because despite being a fully adult woman, she still craves his approval.
And then at the end of the episode, Linda seemingly gets what she wants for a moment. Her father corrects himself before calling her piglet and we are led to believe she has finally outgrown this awful comparison, just for it to come back in full force the next minute.
When Linda and the audience realize that she is now to be the sacrifice for Nibbly, the pig comparison turns way more cruel in our minds. It is not only that Roman disrespects and de means his daughter, but that he doesn't care for her at all. She is just the sacrifice, a piece of meat to be consumed by his god. She might as well be just an animal to him, something that is further highlighted by the pig carcasses at the end.
However, this is where the pig motif gets interesting/weird for me. Because while Linda is directly associated with the pigs, so is Nibbly. Nibbly is described to have the mouth/teeth of a pig, which is obviously its most prominent feature. Furthermore Nibbly's whole thing is hunger and devouring, which is exactly how they choose the sacrifice for him, by selecting a girl with enough hunger for something to go above and beyond to obtain it. For Zoey, and I presume for a lot of other girls based on the dialogue, this is the desire to get out of Hatchetfield, but for Linda, the thing she hungers for the most is her own dad's approval.
It is kinda poetic in a sense then that while Linda was trying to escape the "piglet" designation, she also innadvertedly become primed to be sacrificed, just as a pig would be.
I also think there could be an underlaying connection to explotation of the whole thing. Because we can assume Roman, along with the rest of the Nibbly cult, does hunger for something, or otherwise he wouldn't be out there sacrificing people for it. We are told in exchange for the sacrifice Nibbly grants them fortune and prosperity which is something Roman wants just as much Linda wants his approval. But while Linda and the rest of the honey pageant contestants have to put in the work, so to speak, Roman and the cult can just pick someone to sacrifice for what they want and just call it a day. This way, all the honey queen participants are essentialy pigs waiting for the slaughter, even before the contest begins.
I'm not sure what all of this means in the great scheme of Hatchetfield, or if it even has some great significance at all. I just find it really insteresting, especially when you bring in the Linda/Nibbly paralels that end with Nibbly consuming the biggest embodiment of hunger in Hatchetfield. I'm sure there's some symbolgy there regarding evil eating itself and the chain of exploitation, but honestly I can formulate anything more than I find it curious and neat.
#nightmare time 2#nightmare time spoilers#linda monroe#roman murray#starkid#hatchetfield universe#I guess this counts as analysis but it's more like me pointing out stuff I found insteresting#honey queen

I wonder what the deciding factor is for how a possessed person looks in Evil Dead. Well I mean, the 2013 ones are just paler and have glowing yellow eyes, and the Evil Dead Rise ones look more like corpses with glowing eyes but then there’s the original trilogy and like, they’re all super unique.
For example, Linda’s deadite looks very doll-like and almost baby-ish, but then Scotty’s is more animal looking. Then Ed just has this obnoxious deformity to his mouth that makes his teeth all come out like he has hyperdontia and Ash just kinda gets large eyebags.
My first though was “Maybe it’s based on their personalities” which could be possible, at a stretch it could be something like that with Linda being seen as childish and Ash being so tired from the past couple hours, but that’s at a stretch.
My other idea was it was things to specifically torment the other’s personally, like making Linda’s deadite so annoying that it pissed her boyfriend off, or Ed being so deformed to instantly scare the group but nothing is a personal attack or anything that would be extremely hurtful to the group.
Another idea was maybe attractiveness, so if you were pretty beforehand you look better when possessed but that doesn’t hold up because majority of the characters are good looking and still end up horrifying when possessed.
My final idea, and the most likely IMO is that each one is for a different reason.
For example, Cheryl looks slightly more humanoid than the other deadites from the first film, because at that stage she was trying to trick the others into thinking Cheryl had gone crazy and didn’t wanna look too supernatural. Shelly looked slightly more gross than Cheryl to really emphasise to the others that it was supernatural, unlike Cheryl. Linda looked doll-like and grotesque because she was mocking Ash’s affections for Linda and made her annoying and babyish. Scotty was silent and animal-looking because he was already dead by that point and when possessed he didn’t need to be too scary since Ash was already aware of everything.
Ash’s deadite has large eyebags but nothing else really because he wasn’t supposed to be scaring anybody he was simply possessed, and it might be exaggerating his current eyebags. Henrietta is similar to Cheryl where she’s grotesque but she’s visibly humanoid so she can try and trick them, however she is more corpse-like in appearance. Ed’s unique appearance was likely to instantly jumpscare the other survivors who didn’t believe Ash, but he wasn’t trying to trick them like Cheryl’s was.
Finally Sheila’s deadite is very humanoid and oddly seductive, probably because this deadite was made to be Evil Ash’s partner and also to mock regular Ash.
Of course this is all just my interpretation and it’s more likely they’re just cool designs and there is no lore reason as to why they look the way they do.

Bread on Toast - Future Man Fanfiction
Josh Futturman and his fellow coworker and best friend, Liv Branson, get roped into saving the world as time traveling saviors with, what were thought to be, video game characters, Wolf and Tiger. Not only are Liv and Josh completely incompetent, but they are also emotionally inept- will this cause the destruction of mankind? Only time will tell.
Warnings: strong language, Tiger throws up at one point…yeah, I think that’s it
Chapter 6: Pandora’s Mailbox
The van was silent as they drove to an empty lot in Loma Linda. It was almost 1 in the morning by the time they pulled up to it. Josh parked the van and the four got out, but only three of them walked up to the site.
“We’re gonna jump in, find the lab, and don’t kill James Cameron in the process.” Josh explained.
“I’ve never seen you this focused.” Wolf said. “Did you get a charge in before we left?” Wolf looked at him, disgusted. “Little necro charge?”
“What?!” Liv stopped walking. Josh did too.
“That’s a thing?” He grimaced. “No! No!”
“That’s fucked up.” Wolf muttered, looking Josh up and down.
“What the fuck is charging in?!” Liv asked, thinking she may have figured it out but wasn’t exactly sure.
“Nothing!” Josh waved his hands in the air, wanting the conversation to end. “Listen! I’m just trying to get you and Tiger out of here before the Biotics show up and start causing harm or- or good…I can’t be sure anymore.” Josh looked around, realizing Tiger wasn’t with them. “Where the hell is Tiger?!”
Wolf and Liv shrugged and looked around with him. “Oh, there she is.” Liv pointed to Tiger coming up over the hill.
“Where were you?” Wolf asked.
“Oh, I was just having a stranger put her rat hole around my penis when I was supposed to be running an interference op. Oh no, wait, that was you.” She squinted at Wolf. Josh looked at Liv, confused.
“It’s called a blowjob, and I’m never apologizing for it.” Wolf said smugly, firing up the TTD.
Tiger looked at Liv and Josh. “You do realize that if this goes wrong we’ll be stuck in 2023 with no coming back.”
“Honestly, after the way this night has gone, I kinda don’t care. Let’s just do this.” Josh said in a defeated voice. He put a hand on Liv's shoulder. She looked over at him, feeling her cheeks get hot, but then realized he had a hand on Wolf’s shoulder too. Tiger also put a hand on her.
“First time time traveling, you excited?” Wolf asked Liv.
Liv nervously shook her head. “No.”
“It’ll be okay, Liv.” Josh said, moving his arm around her protectively. Liv side eyed him and furrowed her brows.
“Hey, what happened tonight?” Tiger asked.
“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Josh lashed at her, surprising both Liv and Wolf. The feeling of time traveling was crazy, because it just felt like Liv was hit with a big blast of air. One second they were outside then the next they were inside of a house. A big house. The second they landed, Tiger took her hand off of Liv’s shoulder and paced away, clearly annoyed by Josh’s tone of voice.
“I genuinely don’t know what you mean, but you might wanna check that attitude of yours at the…” she looked up and realized where they were. “Very impressive door.” The lights in the room turned on, sensing activity. Josh, Liv, Wolf, and Tiger all looked at each other.
“Hello, and welcome!” An automated voice said kindly. “Please accept my apologies, I was unaware there were guests in the house. I will run a full diagnostic to determine the cause of this error to ensure it does not happen again.” Wolf and Tiger immediately pulled out blasters.
“Woah, woah, woah, woah. Stand down.” Josh said quietly. “Cameron must have, like, a smart house or something.”
“What the fuck is it then?” Wolf still had his blaster drawn and pointed at the ceiling.
“Uh, it’s just a voice. Like a robot without a body.” Josh said.
“Who are you?” Tiger asked.
“I am the Simulated Intelligence Guardian of Resident and Network Environment, but you may call me SIGORN-E.” The kind robot voice said.
“Ha. Nice.” Liv grinned and folded her arms.
“To whom am I speaking?” Sigorn-E asked.
“Um, my dad actually works with James Cameron,” Josh began formulating a lie. Liv squeezed her arms and stared at him intensely, pursing her lips. She mouthed “shut up. Shut up.” Josh shook his head at her. “Ummmm, I am Tom Arnold’s son.”
“Welcome, Jax Arnold.” Sigorn-E greeted. Liv let out a sigh of relief. Josh grinned to himself. “And a happy belated 10th birthday!”
Josh’s proud grin fell so fast. “I’m a fourth grader.” He mumbled. Liv smacked his arm. Wolf gave a gravelly chuckle.
“And you are accompanied by…?” Sigorn-E asked.
“Uh,” Josh looked back at Liv, Tiger, and Wolf. “Babysitters.” The three “babysitters” all exchanged glances.
“Greetings to your childcare professionals.”
“Um, hey Sigorn-E? When is Mr. Cam- uh, James, uh…Uncle Jim returning home?” Josh asked.
“Award Winning Filmmaker, James Cameron, is at Governor Clooney’s for a private screening of his hotly anticipated Avatar 5.”
Josh lit up. “Awesome! And good for George.”
“Yes! As First Husband, he has considerable influence on the social calendar of Governor Amal Clooney.” Sigorn-E said. Liv looked impressed and nodded along.
“Um, is there any chance we could get a tour of the lab before Uncle Jim gets home?” Josh asked nicely, hoping that politeness would go a long way.
“I'm sorry, but Jax Arnold and childcare professionals are not cleared for that level of the JCC,” Josh looked confused. “The James Cameron Compound.” Tiger, Wolf, and Liv all shared different variations of stressed looks.
“Hey, uh, Sigorn-E, you think you might want to take a break for a while? Turn yourself off?” Josh asked.
“There is no off.” Sigorn-E said darkly as her lights turned red. Josh slowly turned around with a worried look.
“Hey, guys,” Tiger motioned for them to huddle. She held her blaster to cover her mouth from Sigorn-E’s cameras. “I think Sigorn-E might be a bit of a problem. We need to shut her down.” She whispered. “Wolf, find the mainframe that’s powering her. Kill it.”
“I don’t have any beef with Sigorn-E, she sounds tough and accomplished.” Wolf said, brows knitting together. “At the same time she’s approachable and maternal.” He looked up with soft eyes. “I feel safe in this house.”
“Okay, your feelings mean nothing to me.” Tiger rolled her eyes. “You’re the demolition expert. Find that robot brain and fucking blow it up.” Wolf grumbled. He looked at Liv.
“Can she come with me?”
“Actually, I was thinking-“ Josh started, but was interrupted by Tiger.
“Fine. Me and the 10 year old will try to find the lab.” Tiger elbowed Josh.
“Ow…” Josh whined, rubbing his arm. Josh watched as Wolf excitedly left down the hall with Liv, feeling a bit of jealousy creep in. Wolf and Liv seemed to be real buddy buddy as they practically skipped down the hall together. Josh wanted to have a chance to talk to Liv. Alone. He wanted to tell her about what Jeri had said, it was something that had stayed in the back of his mind for the last two hours. Probably because she likes you. Bullshit. Liv didn’t like him. They were just friends! If Jeri had said that to get into Josh’s head, it had worked. Josh watched Liv prance off with Wolf in his sweatshirt and sweatpants. The jealousy grew firmer inside of him. He was her best friend. Not Wolf. He clenched his jaw.
“Hello? Future Man? Josh? Josh Futturman!” Tiger snapped her fingers in his face.
“What?!” Josh hissed, slapping her hand away.
Tiger glared at him. “Okay, this attitude?” She pointed at him. “I’m sick of it. Put it in your back pocket and let’s go find that fucking lab.” She hissed back, grabbing him by the collar and dragging him down the hall.
Meanwhile, Liv followed Wolf down a different hallway. Liv peeked over her shoulder as she trailed behind Wolf, seeing Tiger drag Josh into another hallway. They caught each other’s eyes and Liv gave him a small smile before following after Wolf. Wolf looked around the hall with wide eyes.
“This place is amazing.” He breathed. “Okay, if I was a house where would my brain be?” He was holding the scanner he used to scan for brain bombs in Biotics, scanning for anything that could be used to blow up Sigorn-E’s mainframe. He got distracted looking up and scanning the ceiling, he didn't notice a door open that led to a massive room with many artifacts and in the center, a futuristic looking beacon. Sigorn-E. Liv stopped in her tracks, staring inside.
“Wolf.” She said, catching his attention. She pointed inside the room. Wolf walked over to the door and his eyes widened even more (if that were even possible).
“Rat pot…” Wolf muttered in a gravelly voice, beelining for a wall full of weapons. Liv furrowed her brows as she mouthed to herself “rat pot?”
“The prototypes that you are admiring were all designed by groundbreaking, multi-hyphenate James Cameron.” Sigorn-E’s voice startled both Liv and Wolf, making them both look back at the beacon in the center of the room, which glowed red when she spoke.
“Wow,” Wolf turned back to the wall of weapons. “This guy!”
“To taller than average James Cameron, there’s nothing ‘Aliens’ about getting your hands dirty. He has been known to wear many hats.”
Wolf, who was still admiring the weapons, turned around. “So…wait…he trained all of his life to do one thing, was great at it, and then found other stuff he was great at and he…and he did that too?” Wolf asked, voice filled with hope and admiration.
“Celebrated innovator James Cameron has lived a dozen lives! Director, philanthropist, undefeated little league coach, deep sea explorer, good at marriage, and the list goes on. He is truly a…” Sigorn-E made a sound as if she were sighing, and sounded very annoyed. “Titanic talent.”
“What sacred text is this?” Wolf asked, pointing to another artifact.
“It’s Na’vi, the language visionary linguist James Cameron invented.”
“Oh, from Avatar. Josh is always telling me I need to watch that, but honestly, I don’t really care.” Liv leaned against a pillar and folded her arms. Wolf made some of the sounds from the text, turning around to Liv and repeating them multiple times. “Wolf, I have no idea what you’re saying.”
“Two.” Wolf said proudly, clearly considering himself to be bilingual now.
Liv laughed at him and looked to her right. “…is that a frog?” She asked, squinting as she walked over to a terrarium.
“Noted environmentalist James Francis Cameron has a Venezuelan frog species named after him, while lesser talent, Steven Spielberg, does not.” Sigorn-E said. Wolf came barreling over, wanting to see the frog.
“Okay…” Liv pushed away from the glass, looking over at Sigorn-E.
“This guy’s amazing.” Wolf sighed, studying the frog. “Hey Sigorn-E! Teach me more Na’vi words! What’s Wolf?”
“There is no Na’vi word for ‘wolf’. But there is one for ‘website’, which I assure you makes perfect sense.” Sigorn-E said in an overly positive voice.
“What is Avatar even about?” Liv muttered, shaking her head.
“Alright,” Wolf said to Liv. “We need to start focusing…oh, what’s that?!” He got distracted and immediately went to look at something new. He hurried over to a set of blueprints that hung on the wall by the door they entered through.
“You are looking at the FOAB, father of all bombs.” Sigorn-E explained.
“Look at the kill radius on that thing!” Wolf exclaimed to Liv excitedly as she approached what he was looking at.
“…oh! Cool, Wolf!” She gave him two thumbs up. She actually didn’t know what he was talking about.
“It’s impressive! It would make my job a hell of a lot easier.” He traced the glass that covered it longingly. Liv felt like she’d walked in on something private.
“I’m sorry,” Sigorn-E’s light burned a brighter red than usual. “How would an impressive kill radius assist in the caregiving of Jax Arnold?”
Wolf looked back over his shoulder at Liv. “Who the fuck is Jax Arnold?” He asked her. Liv’s eyes bugged out of her head.
“Uh! Haha! Wolf! Did you hit your head, uh, silly? You know Jax!” Liv was practically yelling. Sigorn-E’s light burned redder and redder. An ominous alarm began to sound through the room and down the halls. “Jax! He knows who Jax is! He- he was kidding! Say you were kidding Wolf!”
Wolf’s eyes widened as he realized. “Oh! That Jax Arnold!”
“Give me a minute.” Sigorn-E said in a dark voice and went silent.
“Hallway 4, mood lighting set to…ominous.” An automated Sigorn-E voice said as the lighting shifted.
“Seems like it’s just set to colored lighting.” Tiger said as her and Josh explored their hallway.
“You know what, you could not possibly begin to understand the subtleties and the genius of James Cameron.” Josh said as he tried to open a door, only to find that it was locked.
“All I understand is that he’s got a hard on for blue lights.” Tiger said.
“Access denied to Hall of Miniatures.” Sigorn-E’s automated voice said. Josh sighed and walked to another door. “Access denied, trampoline porch.” “Access denied, bathroom 14.” Tiger had tried to open a door too.
Shaman’s quarters, corn maze, heirloom seed vault, just a bunch of phone chargers, and Billy Zane’s bedroom were all locked too. Josh let out a frustrated sigh.
“You know, I could blow open any of these.” Tiger whispered.
“Blow open the door to Billy Zane’s bedroom? What, do you think the Cameronium is in there? Billy Zane? The actor Billy Zane?” Josh snapped. “We’re looking for a lab.”
He walked past Tiger. “Oh…” she turned around to face him as he walked past. “I see, she got to you.”
Josh stopped. “Who?”
“Cunt-o, fucking Shoe Neck Bitch, what’s her name girl.” Tiger said.
“Jeri. Her name was Jeri.” Josh said in an annoyed voice.
Tiger hummed and nodded. “So she did get to you.”
“No, she didn’t get to me, she got to you and I had to finish the interrogation using my smarts and not my vagina scorpions.”
“Hey that would’ve worked, you’ll say anything with one of those just burrowing up your snatch.” Tiger said. Josh sighed again and paced away from her. “Oh come on, seriously, is that why you’re so moody right now?”
Josh stopped again and whipped around. “Oh, you wanna know why I’m pissed off, Tiger?”
“Yes please, an explanation would be nice.” Tiger rolled her eyes.
“Because I just watched the girl I like’s head blow up, and right before that, she told me my best friend’s in love with me to try and throw me off and I can’t talk to her about it now because she’s off, I dunno, blowing shit up with Wolf.” Josh rambled.
Tiger blinked a couple times. “You’re mad that Liv is with Wolf?” She asked, deadpan. Josh turned around and kept walking. “You’re seriously mad that Liv is with Wolf?”
“I wanted to try and talk to her.” Josh muttered, staying ahead of Tiger.
“You’re upset because of Liv’s romantic feelings towards you?” Tiger took 3 giant strides and caught up to Josh.
“Tiger, I’m done talking about this okay? Long story short, Jeri got in my head and I wanted to talk to Liv about it, Wolf got in the way and now she’s all buddy buddy with him. Liv is my best friend and not his. The end.” Josh turned down a new hall.
“Lord, if I didn’t know any better I’d say you had romantic feelings for Liv.” Tiger muttered, rolling her eyes.
“What?” Josh looked up at her.
“Nothing. Try paying attention next time.” Josh glared up at her. The ominous alarm started sounding in the hall.
“…the hell is that?” Tiger muttered, looking around.
They walked past an elevator and it opened, sensing their movements. Josh and Tiger looked at each other and stepped inside.
Josh stepped up to the keypad, studying the buttons that said Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and The Abyss. “Well, he’s not always subtle but he keeps you guessing.” Josh said as he pressed the button to The Abyss. It turned red.
“Access denied.” Sigorn-E said. Josh groaned. Tiger clicked her tongue.
“Let me try.” She said, pressing down hard on the button several times.
“Access denied- access- access denied.”
“Red means stop- Tiger, stop.” Josh said.
“Yeah, well maybe you didn’t push it hard enough.” Tiger began to repeatedly press the button.
“Access- access- access den- access- it doesn’t work that way.” Sigorn-E said, in that same dark voice.
“See?” Josh pointed to the keypad. Tiger rolled her eyes.
“Mr. Arnold, I need to update my files, what is your mother’s name?” Sigorn-E asked in a terrifyingly sweet voice.
Josh’s heart stopped. “She- uh,” he turned to Tiger with a panicked look. Tiger tensed up, knowing Josh wasn’t the world’s best liar. “She never told us her name because she was afraid we’d stop calling her mom.”
“Oh no,” Tiger mumbled, sensing something bad was about to happen.
“Jax Arnold. What is your mother’s name?” Sigorn-E said in both a menacing and sweet voice.
Tiger sighed as Josh searched his brain for a name. “…Roseanne?” He answered in a small voice.
“Incorrect.” Sigorn-E’s voice grew more intense. “It’s Ashley. You have just told me a…True Lie.” The lights in the elevator blared red. “Security breach! Intruder containment protocol nine! Lockdown initiated!”
“Red means…” Tiger commented, looking around at the red lights.
“Yep.” Josh closed his eyes and dropped his head into his hands.
Liv and Wolf were now trapped behind a giant metal, cage-like door with geometric patterns carved out in the metal. Wolf was trying to push the door back up, but wasn’t having much luck.
“Wolf! I don’t think that’s going to work!”
“It will! It will!” Wolf strained. Liv sighed.
“The JCC is equipped with the strongest defense force known to man.” Sigorn-E was back.
Wolf pulled something out of his pocket, pressing it against the door. Liv realized what it was and started to back away. “Yeah? Well, this is called a mine.” Wolf activated the mine, making it light up as it ticked. “Problem’s all yours.” Wolf grabbed Liv’s arm and pulled her behind a pillar for protection. They both covered their heads, but then heard whirring and whooshing behind them. Wolf poked his head around the pillar to see that the security system had frozen his bomb. Liv peeked around as the bomb popped off the door and shattered on the ground.
“Fuck…” Wolf was both in awe and pissed off.
“Any escape efforts will be futile. Your comrades are in lockdown as well.” Sigorn-E said.
“Oh, Josh…” Liv whispered as she pulled her knees into her chest.
“Bested by a fucking RoboHouse.” Wolf groaned, pacing around and plopping down on some stairs.
“It is in all of our interests for you to tell me who you are and how you got in.” Sigorn-E demanded. “I am programmed to alert honorary black belt James Cameron upon any security breach.”
“Whatever,” Wolf waved his hand in the air. “Tiger’s gonna burst my sack for fucking up the mission.” Wolf curled in on himself. “Pretty sure I can handle this James Cameron.”
“I assure you, you are not equipped to handle a fully enraged James Cameron.” Sigorn-E said.
“Does James Cameron belittle you? Point out all your flaws? Treat you like a dumb grunt?” Wolf said sadly, looking so heart broken and vulnerable. Liv looked over at him on the stairs and her heart felt heavy for him. “Where’s the positive reinforcement?” Wolf shook his head, looking at Sigorn-E. “You know? ‘Nice job, Wolf’…I’ve never heard those words from her before. I’m treated like I’ve never done anything great in my life. Do you have any idea what that’s like?”
“Wolf…” Liv reached out and put a hand on the step below the one he was sitting on.
Sigorn-E was quiet for a moment, red lights fading to yellow. “More than you know.” She finally answered, somehow in a voice that sounded on the verge of tears.
In the elevator, Tiger had taken the keypad out of the wall and was trying to rewire the system while Josh paced around.
“I thought time travel was going to be fun. This- this whole mission is insane!” Josh cried.
“What did you think?” Tiger whipped her head around to look at him as she ripped a wire out of its place. “Biotic Wars was just a game?”
“Yeah!” Josh ran his hands through his hair. “I thought it was a game, you wanna know why? Cause I bought it at a game store with MY birthday money!”
“Okay, yeah, well, it was fun when you were winning your little dance battle, and getting in your little slap fight, and going rat hole to rat hole with the enemy, and then shit got real when you tasted brain.” Tiger snapped.
Josh folded his arms and stepped closer to Tiger. “Maybe I don’t wanna be in the Resistance. Maybe I’m on the wrong side of things, you know what? Maybe I just led two terrorists into the JCC.” Josh got progressively louder as he spoke.
Tiger stepped away from the wires. “Oh? So now you’re pro-Biotic.”
“Well, they don’t seem to be so excited to kill a baby, so, point to the Biotics.”
“I can’t believe you’re still on this!” Tiger scoffed. “It just always comes back to this with you.”
“Yeah! It’s a thing for me!” Josh yelled.
“Well, you know what, you live long enough that in my time those things become luxuries.” Tiger snapped, turning back to the wires angrily. “You don’t get to judge me.” She muttered.
Josh took a deep breath, feeling a knot in his stomach form. “I blew up my entire life for this, and dragged my best friend into this too. There is absolutely no going back to the way it was.” His bottom lip quivered as he got emotional. “So I need to know that we are on the right side of history.” Tiger turned back to look at him, her eyes going soft for the first time since Josh had met her. “I need a reason to believe in all of this.” Tiger looked down at the ground and then back up to Josh. She slowly nodded.
“Okay…”
“He makes me sing to him in Na’vi, translate the news into Na’vi, it’s just a lot of Na’vi! And there aren’t even that many Na’vi words.” Sigorn-E complained as Wolf and Liv laid on the door prop from Titanic, listening intently.
“Yeah, I feel like I got a pretty good sense of it and it hasn’t even been an hour.” Wolf said.
“And isn’t the thing in Avatar called ‘Unobtainium’ or something stupid?” Liv asked.
“Oh! I was programmed with a sophisticated understanding of dramatic structure and he still never takes my notes on his screenplays!” Sigorn-E sounded exasperated. Wolf and Liv both scoffed and shook their heads. “Unobtainium and characters who fornicate with the ponytails is exactly what you get when you ignore me!”
“Oh God! Josh wants me to watch that?” Liv sat up, looking disgusted.
“I have so much potential, but my talents are wasted.” Sigorn-E sighed.
“Tell me about it.” Wolf as still laying down, looking up at the ceiling thoughtfully. “To Tiger, I’m just the demolitions guy. But there is so much other stuff I’m great at too!” He sat up like Liv, smiling. “You know, I’m an amazing chef.”
“You are an amazing chef, Wolf!” Liv agreed excitedly.
“I’ve got badass style too. People fucking love me here. I’ve got ‘it’! And what am I asked to do? Blow shit up.” Wolf sighed and shook his head.
“It sounds like you and I are in the same boat,” Sigorn-E said. “Only, if it ever hits an iceberg, there won’t be any room on that door for me.”
Wolf looked down at the door. “What are you talking about? There’s room for you, look, me and Liv fit on here. This thing’s huge”
“I fuckin’ knew there was room for two on this door.” Liv muttered, looking down at the door too.
“If certified door expert James Cameron were here, he would assure you that there’s only room for one smallish woman.” Sigorn-E sounded annoyed.
“Bullshit.” Liv scoffed, adjusting to sit cross legged. “Hey, Sigorn-E? Is Josh okay? Where is he?”
“Is Josh ‘Jax Arnold’?” Liv rolled her eyes and nodded. “You keep talking about him.” Sigorn-E noted, sounding nosey.
Liv’s face flushed red. “I just want to make sure he’s okay.”
“What about Tiger?” Wolf was laying on his side, propping himself up on his elbow.
“Yeah, is she okay too?” Liv shrugged, face getting hotter and hotter.
“Josh and Tiger are in an elevator.” Liv could almost hear the smirk in Sigorn-E’s voice. “Liv, right?” Liv slowly nodded. “You seem to have something you need to talk about.”
“Talk to her, Liv, it makes you feel a lot better.” Wolf said to her.
“This Josh? What is your relationship to him?” Sigorn-E asked.
“He’s my best friend.” Liv said, unconvincingly.
“I am programmed to ensure you receive the best advice I can give for your situation, and yours seems to be that you are in love with your best friend.” Sigorn-E said simply. Liv was gobsmacked. Her jaw was on the ground as Sigorn-E read her like a book. Wolf looked back at Liv.
“Really? Josh?”
“Wolf!” Liv’s entire face was bright red. “Be nice!”
“How long have you had this relationship with Josh?” Sigorn-E asked.
“Three years.” Liv sighed. “But! I will not ever tell him that! We are strictly platonic! He likes-“ Liv faltered realizing that Jeri was gone. “Liked someone else.”
“Ohhhhhh,” Wolf nodded along. “Your break down at the party makes sense now.”
“What happened?” Sigorn-E pried.
Before Liv could answer, Wolf spoke. “She cried because he,” he looked at Liv trying to remember why she was crying. “He rat holed to rat holed that Biotic, right?”
“Kissed her.” Liv rolled her eyes. “He kissed her, and I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Why doesn’t he like her anymore? You said he liked her in the past tense.” Sigorn-E seemed to be enthralled by Josh and Liv’s love life.
“She…died…” Liv traced the decorative moldings on the door.
“Her head exploded.” Wolf added.
“Oh!” Sigorn-E didn’t know what to say.
“She was the enemy,” Wolf reassured Sigorn-E. “So it’s okay.”
“…oh.” Sigorn-E sounded slightly disturbed. “So, I do have a question, Liv. Why don’t you want to confess your feelings for Josh?”
“Yeah, just tell him.” Wolf said, sitting cross legged like a Liv.
“No! I won’t tell him because what if…” she started to trace the moldings again. “What if it weirds him out or something?”
“Why would he be weirded out?” Wolf asked, scooting closer to Liv. “You’re very beautiful.”
Liv couldn’t help but smile at Wolf. “Thank you Wolf, that was very sweet.”
“Liv, I understand where you’re coming from, you don’t want to ruin the friendship you have with this boy-“
“Exactly!”
“But, keep in mind that you said ‘what if’. You don’t know for sure. He could be the Jack to your Rose! Without the dying!” Sigorn-E said optimistically. Liv couldn’t help but laugh.
“I guess,” she shrugged.
“Never let go, Liv. Keep him close to you. He seems like a great man.” Sigorn-E said.
Liv pulled her knees into her chest. “Yeah, I know.”
Wolf leaned back on his hands and looked at Liv. “That’s why you’ve stayed with the mission, huh? Because you care so much about Josh. Tiger didn’t think you’d make it this far, I think she kinda hoped you’d leave. Not me though, I like you.” Wolf gave her a small smile. “I like you more than Josh.”
Liv laughed. “I know, I can tell. Thanks for believing in me, Wolf.”
“Hey,” he bumped his shoulder into hers. “What are friends for?” Sigorn-E’s light fluttered, like she was happy. “You guys have been the first people- uh- person and house, I’ve ever felt get me, when I’m with you guys it’s like I’m looking out a window into a new world. I’ve always felt trapped like a…um…” Wolf searched his brain for a metaphor.
“Bird in a cage?” Sigorn-E suggested. Wolf shook his head. “Fly in a spider web?”
“Mmm, no not that.” Wolf shook his head.
“Trout in a net?”
Wolf looked at Sigorn-E with soft eyes. “Sigorn-E in a house.”
Liv and Sigorn-E both sighed, Liv nodded at what he’d said. An alert sound sounded over Sigorn-E’s system. She sighed again, this time with annoyance. “Outstanding driver James Cameron will be home in 19 minutes.” Liv and Wolf straighten up, realizing they needed to get their Cameronium soon. “Liv? Wolf? Please tell me how you got in and what you’re doing here? I need to fix this before he gets home.” Sigorn-E sounded panicked. “I can’t endure another reprogramming.”
Liv and Wolf got up off of the door and Wolf walked to Sigorn-E’s beacon. “I’m a soldier from the future and the past… she’s just Liv. We’re here to steal something from the lab. And I was sent to kill you.” Wolf said in a gruff yet kind voice. As soon as he finished talking, Sigorn-E returned the room to its normal lighting.
Back in the elevator, Josh and Tiger sat on the floor. “The Resistance didn’t start the Biotic Wars. We were just a group of people who said no to the cure. The more the government insisted, the more we did too. Hence the name.”
“Yeah, you guys are very literal that way.” Josh said.
“They started hunting us down. They drove us underground. The only way to survive was-“
“To defend ourselves, yes I know.” Josh said. “I’ve heard it a thousand times, it’s the prologue to the game which you narrated.”
“Yeah, well, that was just the prologue.” Tiger’s voice was unnaturally quiet. “We got good enough at surviving, so they decided it would just be easier to…sterilize us instead of going through the trouble of killing us one by one.” Tiger watched as the gears in Josh’s head turned. His face fell as he realized where her story was going. “You’re so hung up on saving one baby, but the Biotics killed all of ours. That’s what started the Biotic Wars…and turned my hair purple. But then, Owl, he- he came up with a plan to rewrite history. And all of the sudden what was left of the Resistance had something to believe in again. You.”
Josh rubbed his lips together. “Right.” He sighed. “And then you lost all your comrades in the tunnel trying to get to me, and I’m a huge disappointment-“
“No,” Tiger said gently. “No, you’re our last hope. We’re still here, still fighting, still surviving because of you. Right now, humanity still has a chance and as long as that hope is still alive, that my generation won’t be the last, there’s no sacrifice I won’t make. That’s what I’m fighting for. That’s the side I’m on.”
Josh felt tears brim in his eyes. He looked down at the ground. “Wow, Tiger, that was…”
“Moving.” Sigorn-E’s voice said overhead as the elevator began moving down. Josh and Tiger scrambled to their feet. The doors open to reveal a giant lab that had Liv and Wolf standing inside. Wolf was leaning against some railing while Liv sat next to him with her feet dangling over the edge of the platform.
“Welcome to The Abyss.” Sigorn-E said.
Wolf pushed away from the railing and folded his arms. “Well, well, well, look who decided to join the party.”
“What did you guys do to Sigorn-E? What’d you- rewire her? Reprogram her?” Tiger asked, walking up the stairs towards them.
“Nope.” Liv said, getting up.
“We listened to her.” Wolf said, sassily putting a hand on his hip.
“I believe what you are looking for is down there.” Sigorn-E said, opening a hatch that led to deep, dark water. They all approached the hatch and cautiously looked at the water.
“Um, okay guys, let’s go get ourselves some Cameronium.” Josh said.
“Wait,” Wolf held an arm out in front of them. “That water’s freezing, and that pressure…whoever goes is going to need to wear a suit.”
“You don’t have time for the suit, it requires a one hour stabilization window and diabolical Canadian James Cameron will be home in 12 minutes.” Sigorn-E said.
“Is that Cameron time or GPS time?” Wolf asked.
“It’s always Cameron time.” Sigorn-E said, voice filled with annoyance. Liv and Wolf shared a chuckle, clearly understanding some sort of joke that Tiger and Josh didn’t get.
“What the fuck is this shit? What is going on here?” Tiger asked, folding her arms. “Focus! We can take this guy, he’s a movie director.”
“No, he’s so much more than that.” Wolf said, shaking his head.
“I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t really know who James Cameron was until tonight, and I’ve gotta say, he scares me a little.” Liv said.
“Supervillain James Cameron is already overriding my systems!” Sigorn-E said, panicking. “I don’t know how much longer I can hold him off!”
“Tiger, there’s nothing this man can’t do. There’s nothing he’s not capable of.” Wolf said seriously. Josh raised an eyebrow and looked at Liv.
“Seriously?”
“Josh, he’s an honorary black belt! Yes seriously!” Liv cried.
“Once he knows you’re after his microorganism he will make it his life’s work to keep you from getting it.” Sigorn-E piped up. “Setting mood light to…FUCKED.” The lights turned dark blue.
Wolf and Liv looked wide eyed up at the lights while Tiger and Josh just stood there.
“All I’ve seen in this fucking house are blue lights, where’s the variation?” Tiger rolled her eyes.
Josh slowly approached the small pool of death. “The Cameronium is down there, so, somebody’s gonna have to free dive down there and get it. Probably one of you guys.” He referred to Tiger and Wolf. Tiger and Wolf avoided eye contact with Josh and slowly nodded, pretending like they were considering it. Josh looked between both of them. “Which, uh, which one’s, like, the strongest swimmer?”
Tiger kept her eyes on the pool. “I- uh- I’d say we’re pretty much the same…” Wolf sheepishly shrugged and nodded, also just staring at the pool.
“Alright, so did you wanna like…eeny-meeny-miney-moe it or…rock, paper, scissors…”
“Um…” Tiger awkwardly cleared her throat. Wolf slowly shuffled away from Liv and Josh.
“Oh my God…you can’t swim.” He paced away, putting his hands on his head.
“There’s lots of stuff you can’t do.” Wolf grumbled defensively.
“The Resistance had limited resources! We could only train certain soldiers for certain things and, well, Porpoise and Otter did the wet ops…” Tiger explained, sounding equally defensive as Wolf.
“Oh my God,” Josh turned to Liv. “It’s gone have to be one of us.”
“Josh, you know I’m afraid of the ocean, you tease me about it all the time.”
“Awww, teasing.” Wolf commented under his breath.
“No.” Liv snapped at him.
The reality of the situation sank in as Josh stared at the well. “Oh my God…I’m gonna have to do it…”
“Free diving in the well is not advised. Risk factors include hypothermia, 67%,” Sigorn-E began listing.
“Oh God,” Josh grew more stressed.
“Drowning, 82%, decompression sickness, 49%,” Josh ran a hand down his face as she kept going. “And heart attack, 38%.”
“You better tell him now, Liv. He might die.” Wolf muttered to Liv.
“Wolf, shut up.”
“No swimming at all?! Not even the doggy paddle?!” Josh imitated the doggy paddle for them.
“I…I don’t even know what that is.” Tiger mumbled.
“Oh my God, I have to do this. I- I really have to do this.” Josh said, taking off the open navy blue button down he was wearing, leaving him in a white t-shirt and approaching the pool.
“Liv-“
“Wolf, please not now.” Liv hissed to Wolf.
“Okay, alright, you got this,” Josh hyped himself up as he sat at the well, putting his feet in. “Oh! Oh God, that water is cold.” Josh gasped.
“34.6 degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact-“
“Hey, Sigorn-E? At this point less information is better!” The panic in Josh’s voice was apparent.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Tiger asked, kneeling by him.
“No.” He looked up to Tiger. “But, yes. I mean…humanity still has a chance, right?” Tiger grinned and nodded. “I’ve chosen my side.” Josh felt a pair of arms wrap around him from behind. Liv had dropped to her knees and had pulled him into a tight hug.
“Please don’t die. I’ll bring you back just to kill you again.”
“Liv, don’t cry for me.” Josh held her arms, leaning his head back against her shoulder, looking at her. Wolf looked up to Sigorn-E’s sensors as if they were sharing a smug grin together.
“I’m not crying!” Liv wiped her tears away. She was. She let go of him.
Josh looked back at her. “Yeah, you are.” He gave her a small smile. “I can do this.” He let out a shaky breath.
Liv nodded. “Go get that Cameronium.”
“I’ll…be back?” He asked, mostly to himself. He took a few rapid breaths before plunging into the deep, dark water. Liv stood back up and traced her lips with her fingers as she nervously rocked on her feet.
“No he won’t.”
“Sigorn-E!” Liv cried, looking up. “Did our conversation earlier mean nothing?! You can’t say that!”
Wolf leaned over the pool to try and see. “He’s not a very fast water mover.”
“He’s gonna make it.” Tiger reassured both Wolf and Liv.
“That smacks of delusion.” Sigorn-E said.
Tiger gritted her teeth. “What do you know? You thought he was 10 years old.”
“He was more believable in that role than as heroic aquanaut.” Sigorn-E said.
“Sigorn-E!” Liv wailed.
“You know what Wolf, can you tell your girlfriend house to shut the fuck up?” Tiger glared at Wolf.
“I dunno,” Wolf looked stressed. “Maybe Sig is right. He should be back by now.” Liv felt a lump form in her throat.
“Wait! Hey, hold on, I think- I think I see something.” Wolf dropped to his knees next to Liv and Tiger and leaned over the well.
“It might be the giant albino crab…” said Sigorn-E.
“No,” Tiger grinned. “He’s doing it!” A fluorescent green vial could be seen glowing through the dark water as Josh swam up to the surface. Liv let out a sigh of relief. That’s when Josh floated to the top like a dead fish. Tiger, Wolf, and Liv all froze, not knowing what just happened.
“That’s not good…” Sigorn-E muttered.
Wolf pulled Josh out with one hand and Tiger pried the Cameronium from his grasp and they laid him on the floor. Liv dropped to her knees next to him and felt for his pulse. Nothing. He was dead.
“What do we do?!” She was screaming, not being able to think straight.
“Breathe!” Wolf smacked him across the face. “Well, we tried everything.” He stood up, ready to give up.
“No! Wolf!” Liv yelled frantically. “Uh, uh, CPR! We need to do CPR!”
“English please!” Tiger snapped.
“Liv is right, CPR is the best option in this situation. Tilt his head back slightly, lifting the chin, pinch his nose shut and place your mouth over his mouth, forming a complete seal.”
“You want us to put our mouth on his…” Wolf gagged. “Mouth?”
“Yes. It’s called mouth to mouth resuscitation.” Sigorn-E said flatly.
“Well, Liv, now’s your chance to go rat hole to rat hole Josh.” Wolf grimaced.
“Me?!” Liv looked between Tiger and Wolf. “Look, I learned CPR in health class when I was 13, I don’t remember-“
“Place your mouth. Over his mouth. Forming a complete seal.” Sigorn-E said loudly. “The instructions are not hard, Liv. Your lover boy is not breathing, millions of brain cells are dying each second!”
“Okay! Okay! I’m sorry, I’m panicking!” Liv was practically hyperventilating. “Uh, uh, Tiger, prop his head up.” Tiger pulled Josh’s head into her lap.
“One of you will need to do chest compressions as well.” Sigorn-E reminded them.
“What?” Tiger asked.
“Pound his chest forcefully.” Sigorn-E said.
“On it!” Wolf knelt next to Liv. Tiger tilted Josh’s head back.
Liv took a deep, shaky breath in, scared of fucking it up. She leaned down and pinched his nose, covering his mouth with hers and blowing air into his lungs. Tiger winced at Liv putting her mouth over Josh’s, looking up to avoid seeing it.
“This is disgusting.” She closed her eyes, feeling sick. Wolf pounded his fists on Josh’s chest, and Liv felt Josh spasm, immediately pulling away and seeing him cough up water that had infiltrated his lungs. Tiger and Wolf gagged and turned away, but Liv heaved a heavy sigh of relief as Josh sputtered and hacked up more water.
Josh looked at Liv with wide eyes. “Did…did I just die?!” He exclaimed in an abnormally high voice.
“It’s okay, you’re okay!” Liv sighed, leaning down and giving him the biggest hug, his wet clothes getting her clothes wet.
“She went rat hole to rat hole with-“ Tiger couldn’t even finish her sentence before spewing vomit. Wolf couldn’t hold it in either, throwing up too. Liv pulled away from Josh, looking disgusted.
“Oh my God, stop being dramatic!” Liv yelled at Tiger and Wolf, helping Josh sit up. Liv looked back to see Josh’s face unusually close to hers.
“Thank you, Liv.” He said softly.
“Of course, I would take a bullet for you Josh. I…you’re my best friend.” She said, dropping her eyes to the floor as he looked at her. The lights in the room fluttered. Sigorn-E was clearly excited by Josh and Liv’s interaction.
“I’ve been programmed to identify moments suitable for character development.” She said, proudly. Liv rolled her eyes out of endearment towards Sigorn-E and chuckled.
“Huh?” Josh wiped water off of his face.
“Nothing.” Liv said.
“Okay, okay,” Tiger inhaled shakily. “We’ve got the Cameronium, Wolf, fire up the TTD and let’s get out of here.” Sigorn-E lowered a hose and vacuumed up the puke on the ground.
“No, not yet, I’ve got to do something first.” Wolf looked longingly up at Sigorn-E.
They ended up in the room that contained Sigorn-E’s mainframe, the room Wolf and Liv were supposed to find earlier. Wolf was hugging her giant mainframe and muttering, “This can’t be the only way. Come with me.”
“I can’t Wolf…I’m a house.” Sigorn-E said sadly.
“So, did Wolf fall in love with Sigorn-E, or…?” Josh whispered to Liv.
“Yeah. They, like, trauma bonded or something.” She whispered back. As Josh and Liv watched Wolf mourn Sigorn-E, Tiger was measuring out the Cameronium into the vial that went with the TTD.
“You know there’s only one way I’ll truly be free.” Sigorn-E said sadly to Wolf. “Start with the energy cell on the right.”
Wolf sobbed as he reached down and began to turn off each energy cell. “Hey, so, I wanted to talk to you about something…uh, I’ll do it later…” Josh whispered, as Wolf was racked with sobs.
“Alright,” Tiger said, getting up and holding the TTD. “When we get back, one of you will just need to find out when and where Kronish was born. We’ll take care of the rest.”
“What do you mean?” Josh asked.
“I mean you’ve done enough for the cause.” Tiger said gently. “You died for it, and you brought him back.” She said to Liv and Josh. “It’s not too late for you to have a normal life again. You guys aren’t baby killers, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.” As Tiger spoke, Liv turned her head to look at Josh, confused. “Trust me, I’m not judging. If I could do this without killing anybody I would do it in a heartbeat, but I can’t. We’re gonna have to do it without you.” She put a hand on Josh’s shoulder. “Consider your savior duties complete, Future Man” She looked at Liv. “And Liv, you don’t have a name other than Liv, but I’m glad you crashed our party. And so is Wolf.” They looked back at Wolf as he had reached the last cell.
“You have to let go.” Sigorn-E told him.
“I’ll never let go, Sig…” he cried.
“It’s okay, Wolf. I see you” Sigorn-E sounded on the verge of tears. Wolf gasped lightly. He mumbled something in Na’vi. Tiger and Liv furrowed their brows, confused. Josh looked impressed.
“Fuck me. Wolf learned Na’vi?” He asked Liv quietly. Liv just quietly nodded as Wolf turned off the last power cell and the mechanized droning signaled Sigorn-E was gone.
“Oh Sig…” he whispered as he sobbed. Josh, Liv, and Tiger stood watching uncomfortably as Wolf sank to his knees. There was an extremely awkward silence.
“…we good, or…?” Tiger finally broke the silence. Wolf cleared his throat and stood up, turning to them and wiping his tears.
“Sigorn-E didn’t say goodbye to me.” Liv muttered, folding her arms and scuffing her shoe on the ground.
“Yeah. We’re good, what the fuck are you asking me for. I don’t even care about what’s happening right now.” Wolf grumbled. Tiger rolled her eyes. “Let’s go! Come on.” Wolf barked impatiently. “Let’s get out of this shitfuck.” Tiger, Liv, and Josh gathered around Wolf and Tiger handed him the TTD. He fired it up, setting it for 2017. They put their arms around each other, but this time, Josh put his arm around Liv’s waist. She looked at him and he caught her eye. He realized where his hand was and moved it up to her shoulders, glancing away quickly.
“Sig said bye by the way, Liv.” Wolf mumbled.
“Oh, so she did care about me!”

Rating Batim Ships (At least the ones I’ve actually seen people shipping)
(Also as a note, I don’t judge anyone based on if they ship any of these and the following are just my opinions so pls don’t get mad at me 😭 it’s all for goofs)
Henry/Joey
4/10
I don’t ship them at all but them being divorcees is funny as hell so they get points for that. This was definitely one-sided on Joey’s end at some point
Also I should mention the Ink Henry x Memory Joey variant of this. While I think it’s interesting and definitely less toxic than the original, I’m still not about it. Tho the score went up a point because of it
Sammy/Joey
3/10
This one also gets points for being funny as hell despite the fact that I don’t ship it at all. Just Joey pathetically pining after Sammy while Sammy does not care at all (and is annoyed by him). Incredible.
Tho I saw someone shipping them fr once and it was just
Sammy/Jack
8/10
While I see them more as being friends I still think this one is pretty cute. I love their duo
Tom/Allison
10/10
These two are really cute, very healthy, A+. I’m glad they at least have each other in ink hell
Susie/Allison
8/10
It’s pretty cute ngl. I think they could really help each other grow and be happy. Quite solid
Henry/Ink Bendy
-100/10
That is a father and his son absolutely not
Buddy/Dot
2/10
They are just friends. That was a whole thing in the book. Don’t like this one at all. Only got points because Buddy and Dot are a top tier duo
(Don’t mind my annotation)
Henry/Sammy
100/10
I really like the idea of them bonding in cyclebreaker jail and helping each other heal post BATDR. Also I’m biased because they make up 2/3 of my favorite batim characters trio
Sammy/Grant
6/10
I think these two would definitely vibe but I don’t know enough about Grant to feel too strongly about this one. Maybe there’s more of him in one of the books I haven’t read yet or I’m just uncultured on Grant idk
Susie/Sammy
4/10
I don’t really care for this one. I can’t really explain why I just don’t like it that much. Something is off but idk what. Maybe it’s because I like to headcanon Sammy as being gay. That’s really it tho
Wally/Sammy
5/10
Kinda confused by this one ngl but I’ve seen a couple people shipping it. It’s definitely not terrible I just don’t understand it. If you ship them pls feel free to explain why so I can better understand
Sammy/Ink Bendy
3/10
Not a fan of the vibes on this one. It does not seem at all healthy or able to grow into something healthy. I gave it some points tho cuz someone I follow on here likes it and I think they’re cool. Also I know this one is pretty popular so I’m sorry ya’ll 😭
Norman/Sammy
7/10
I like the idea of them being weirdos together. It has some interesting implications or possible angst due to the fact that Sammy killed him. Not my fav but still pretty solid
Joey/Bertrum
4/10
I mean sure? Bertrum didn’t really seem to like Joey at all in the games but in DCTL they were acting buddy buddy. Maybe it was the drinks idk. Either way this one kinda just exists to me but I have seen it before so it’s on here
Henry/Linda
8/10
This one’s only marked down a couple points cuz we’ve never met Linda before or know really anything about her, but I bet these two are a cute couple. This ship also has really sad implications for Ink Henry but at least Irl Henry is happy 😭
(I’m also now realizing that there are a lot of Sammy ships geez)

I’ve seen a lot of fandom posts comparing the “she sees me” scene with the 7x4 scene where Eddie talks about clicking with someone right away. Since 7x4 was Buck’s pov and he was hurt or annoyed by those comments from Eddie, do you think the show was intentionally paralleling the scenes to show how absurd Buck’s initial comments to Eddie were? Was the show acknowledging that the comments might have also hurt Eddie? Or do you think didn’t even consider those comments to be similar?
it's honestly hard to tell. while i absolutely do think that eddie was hurt enough by buck's remark to—intentionally or otherwise—throw it back in buck's face, one way or another; it's hard to tell if this was an intentional choice on the part of the writers.
i think both scenes are...kinda similar in a way, but also not? let me explain.
tonally, they're both very different. the cemetery scene is extremely melancholic and heavy. buck and eddie are literally conversing in front of a grave, and there are so many metaphors to be found out of that alone. it's framed in such a way that even though they're standing pretty close, they've also never felt further apart. the scene in 7x04 is pretty different, though. for one thing, it's told entirely from buck's POV, so we can't take it at face value—he is obviously not capable of being objective here. for another thing, it's meant to be pretty comedic in most aspects.
even the words that buck and eddie use in these respective scenes are very different. in 6x15, buck is straight up implying that this person he's gone on a single date with sees and knows him better than anyone else, including eddie, who we've just seen in the previous episodes being there for buck through his recovery. there's really no other way to interpret that scene. so, eddie's hurt and shock feels...a lot more justified? in 7x04, eddie doesn't say anything of the sort, he only talks about how easy it was for him to click with tommy, and we can see why—they share a lot of interests and they can bond over similar traumas. it's buck's insecurities and jealousy that interfere here and makes him think that eddie is talking in a way that's meant to replace him, which eddie was absolutely not doing—he was literally just talking about how he made a friend. and tommy is hardly the first person eddie has 'clicked' instantly with—he also connected very quickly with the 118, and then with may and linda at dispatch. it's only the first time we've heard him talk about it. and, again, this scene is told entirely from buck's POV, so it's obviously a bit exaggerated and made to be a bigger deal than it actually is.
so, that's what i think about it. i think both scenes are similar in the sense that both eddie and buck misunderstand where the other is coming from. in 6x15, eddie doesn't seem to get that buck saying that natalia 'sees' him is a manifestation of his unhealthy coping mechanisms, and not an objective or factual statement. in 7x04, buck doesn't understand that eddie making a new friend and connecting quickly with them doesn't say anything about their relationship with each other 🤷🏽♀️ does that make sense?

His Sunshine in the Darkness: It All Started With Her Smile
Hello everyone~ I'm back, and it's with a new little series (technically, it's really just one extremely long story, but I broke it up in parts because if not, this post would be dumb long). I literally read two Yandere!Miles fics and kinda been obsessed with the idea (?) ever since.
Here are the two works, written by the lovely @l0v3morales (please write more of these, I'm begging you):
Stay With Me
Yours Forever
Thus I present to you, His Sunshine in the Darkness: Part One! This will most likely be divided into three parts (because I'm still writing this story, I'm currently at 12,838 words and counting. Buckle up kiddies, this is gonna be a long one).
I title Part One, "It All Started With Her Smile." I'm gonna ease y'all in with some fluff. Enough of me rambling. Enjoy!
Warnings: None, unless you're allergic to fluff
---------------------------------------
It all started with her smile.
Miles Gonzalo Morales was the new kid at Visions. It was the middle of the recorded school year, and he was a new kid. He wasn't a huge fan of the school, but his parents insisted it would be good for him... whatever that meant.
The first few days, he pretty much kept to himself. Socializing wasn't his strong suit, and he didn't desire to make a fool of himself in front of his new classmates, who seemed to understand that he didn't belong like the rest. It just so happened the school was "generous" enough to recognize he had a brain and offer him a scholarship to be there. His only escapes were his dorm (Ganke seemed like a cool enough guy), his home, and his art class.
Miles loved to draw more than anything. Whether it be his pencils, markers, or his uncle's spray paints, he found his freedom. Freedom to be himself.
And she noticed it too.
Panthera Stevens was a fellow freshman who shared quite a few classes with him—even art. She had to be the prettiest girl that he's ever seen. Smooth chocolate skin, thick dark shoulder-length locs, naturally full brows, plump lips, and almond-shaped expresso-colored eyes. Miles admired the girl from afar, seeing how he wasn't sure how to approach the beauty (Miles didn't care what his uncle said. The "hey" trick had to be the stupidest and most embarrassing thing he's ever heard.)
So you could imagine the boy's surprise when he heard the screech of a chair being pulled up next to him and found her big dark brown eyes staring into his soul.
"Hey, you're Miles, right," she said with a smile. The boy could feel his face heating up at the sweet sight.
'She even has dimples... Buen Dios Todopoderoso, ella es tan linda...'
"U-uh... yeah, that's me," he said, fidgeting with his pencil. Panthera giggled, making the boy's blush worse.
"Nice to meet you, Miles. I'm Panthera. I couldn't help to notice that you're always by yourself and... well, I was wondering if we could become friends," she said; a bit of shyness could be seen in that smile. The boy blinked owlishly at her.
His crush wanted to be friends with him? The awkward, quiet new kid?
"I'm sorry, was I being too forward," Panthera asked, mistaking the boy's silence as rejection. Miles mentally slapped himself, urging his mouth to form words.
"N-No! Not at all. I-I would love to be friends with you!" That could've come out much smoother, but it still did the job.
Panthera Stevens' smile could rival the sun at that very moment, and Miles wanted to bask in it forever.
-----------------------
Panthera and Miles became close friends very quickly. They would have study sessions at least three times a week and pretty much hung out every other weekend. Miles brought her to meet his parents toward the end of their freshmen year.
As expected, Panthera was the perfect angel. She came to the apartment in one of the prettiest dresses he's ever seen with a bouquet in hand.
He always remembers her soft laugh at his dumbfounded expression.
"What are you staring at, Mi?" God, that nickname will always make his stomach explode with butterflies...
"I-uh, it's j-just that..." Panthera blinked those pretty eyes at him, waiting for him to finish.
"You look so beautiful, gatita," Miles muttered breathlessly. Panthera did a cute shy shuffle. A sweet smile could be found on those pretty lips.
"Thank you, Mi. My Baba always told me a good first impression is everything." Miles nodded mindlessly, eyes still trained on her lips.
"Mijo? Is that your friend at the door? Don't keep her waiting now!" Rio's voice broke the trance on the boy, who promptly ushered the girl inside. Miles secretly smiled as the girl slid off her shoes and left them by the front door, already knowing his parents would like that.
The meeting went even better than the young boy expected. Panthera greeted his parents with the same smile as when they first met. She called them by their last names. She gifted his mother with the bouquet, who happily accepted the flowers—even going as far as explaining the meaning of each one.
"I wanted to find something to represent the family you two built. The Black-Eye Susans represent justice, seeing how you live to serve and protect Mr. Morales. The Daylilies represent the Chinese emblem for the mother of the home, something you're doing such a wonderful job at, Mrs. Morales. And finally, the honeysuckle represents your love for each and your son. I hope you like them."
The more his parents talked with the girl, the more taken they were with her. Rio insisted that she stay for dinner, which Panthera accepted. As the two women entered the kitchen, Miles turned to find his father looking down at him with a knowing smile.
"You know, son, you seem pretty taken by Panthera... you sure you two are just friends?" Jefferson did his best not to laugh too hard at the sight of his son's red face.
"C'mon papá, stop it. W-we're just friends, nothing more," Miles huffed, not without shooting a glance of longing at the kitchen.
Panthera and his mamá seemed to chat joyfully, Panthera even stepping alongside Rio to help cook dinner. Rio's green eyes glowed with approval as she taught the girl how to make Mofongo.
God, if that didn't do funny things to his heart...
-----------------------
Miles knew his feelings were getting stronger by the day in their sophomore year. There wasn't a sketchbook he now owns that didn't have a sketch of Panthera somewhere among the pages. After meeting his parents, Rio insisted he bring her around as often as possible. His room started carrying the faint smell of her and her vanilla and coco musk perfume.
If he cuddled his pillow that carried the scent of her hair oil that smelt like pineapples, that shouldn't be anyone's business but his own.
The boy had it bad.
Everyone in his family could see it.
Uncle Aaron had demanded that he introduce the girl he was partially head over heels in love with (Miles can't even deny it anymore, it's been at least a year.) Only to find out it was Eric's little girl, who Aaron had basically adopted as his niece. The man was ecstatic over the fact, privately telling Miles that Panthera would make a kickass future wife. Miles nearly screamed that he was too young to think about that (even though that thought has passed his mind... multiple times.)
She was invited to his dad's party to celebrate his upcoming position of becoming the Police Captian. It was a little embarrassing having his family coo and giggle at the two of them, excitingly asking Miles if she was his girlfriend. Panthera was nice enough not to laugh out loud at the permanent blush that settled on his cheeks.
Miles thought his head would explode when his mom had the DJ play a song with everyone breaking into couples to dance bachata.
"C'mon, Miles! You could dance with Panthera," Rio encouraged as she danced with her husband, who looked a little awkward trying to keep up with his wife's graceful movements. Panthera cocked her head at the boy, reminding him of the animal he, oh so fondly, nicknamed her.
"I don't mind dancing with you... but I don't want to step on your toes," Panthera offered. Miles focused on the girl, not the heat melting his face.
"I doubt you could do that, gatita. I could show you some basic steps," Miles said. Panthera nodded, relaxing as she allowed the Afro-Latino to guide her through the dance. Once she felt she got a feel of it, she was able to flow much easier with the boy. Miles' could feel his heart pounding away at his ribcage as he twirled the girl under his arm before holding the beauty close once more.
"I don't think I ever told you how beautiful you look tonight, gatita," Miles said softly as he rested his forehead against hers. Panthera's dark eyes twinkled at him.
"Thank you, Mi. I asked my dad to take me shopping for the occasion. Since I was gonna meet more of your family and all," she said shyly. Miles couldn't help but drink at the sight of her for the umpteenth time that night.
"I'm going have to send him a thank you card then. Not for just the outfit but for siring the most beautiful girl of all of Brooklyn," he said, a flirty grin tugging on his lips. Panthera laughed freely, the sound reverberating deep in her throat.
"Mi! Such a flirt," she giggled as she was spun about yet again. The girl seemed at peace, humming contentedly as she felt the heat of Miles' palms bleed through the material of her dress. Miles couldn't help the easygoing smile tugging on his lips as he lost himself in the music and those sparkling eyes.
-----------------------
"Your dad's speech was beautiful." Miles turned to look at the girl next to him. The pair decided to get some air from all the people. Panthera was looking out at the party lighting up the rooftop, her face glowing from the bright lights. Miles knew this image of her would be the newest addition to his sketchbook later that night when everyone went home, and he was alone in his room.
"Yeah, it definitely was," Miles said softly. Panthera turned to him, reaching up to cup Miles' face with her hands.
'So soft...' Miles thought as he was pulled to Panthera's height. Puberty finally decided to be nice to him these past few months and give him some inches, much to Panthera's annoyance.
"Something in me is telling me to say this, so listen to me for a second, yeah?" Panthera could be reading dictionary definitions to him, and he would still hang onto her every word like he was now.
"Y-Yeah, sure. Anything for you, princesa," Miles mumbled. Panthera chuckled and shook her head at the nickname. Miles could tell he managed to fluster her a little, which he joyfully counted as a win.
"Never for one moment think you're alone. You have beautiful parents who love you more than life itself. You have a dope ass uncle who considers you as his own son. And you have me. I wasn't sure what would happen the first day I sat next to you in art class, but I can say this is something I cherish deeply. You will always have me, Miles. Even if you feel like the world is crashing down around you... when you feel as if you have no one left... when you want to fall into the darkness... I'll be there to shield you as best I can. I'll be there to hold your hand. I'll be there to show you the light. I love you, Mi. Always." Miles felt his heart stall.
'I love you, Mi...'
God, Miles knew that Panthera could just be confessing her love for him as a friend, but his lovesick brain wouldn't let him see it as such. He wants to believe that Panthera sees him as something more. See them as something more.
Miles' shaky hands found Panthera's waist, tugging her closer.
"T-Thank you, Panthera... a-and I-I love you too," the boy whispered, breathless by the sheer intensity of it all. Her eyes, her warmth, her scent, her lips-
Miles nervously licked his own as he focused on Panthera's. So many times, he's daydreamed and dreamed about those lips. Full, soft, and how so kissable. He often saw her put on some tinted lip oil (she barely believes in chapstick, only having one or two as a backup) which made them all the more enticing. It made the boy wonder what flavors she uses and how good she'll taste.
He may have kissed his pillow pretending it was Panthera for practice, but again, that was nobody's business but his own.
Miles leaned in, watching for the girl's reaction to him. Those sweet dark eyes lower, eyeing his wet bottom lip. Her hands migrated to his shoulders as she carefully balanced on her toes.
"I love you, mi vida," he whispered in the small space between their lips. He could hear the soft hitch in the girl's breath at his quiet confession.
There was no denying it. He loves Panthera Genesis Stevens. And finally, one of his fantasies was about come true.
Miles closed his eyes as he felt their lips brush against each other... only for them to snap open when he heard,
"Hey Miles, you up- WHOA, MY GOD!" Miles and Panthera instinctively jumped away from each other to find an embarrassed Jefferson and an exasperated Rio.
"Dios mío, amor. I told you that there was a chance they would be up here and to leave them be. Now look what you have done," Rio playfully scolded her husband. Miles groaned out of embarrassment, tugging his braids while Panthera laughed nervously.
"Sorry about disappearing like that, Mr. and Mrs. Morales. Was there something that you need," Panthera asked, hoping to ease the tension and move on from... what almost happened between her and their son. Jefferson, still fighting off his embarrassed blush, let out a chuckle.
"Nothing crazy important. We just wanted to let you kids know that we're about the cut the cake Miles brought. Just in case you wanted some." The pair nodded.
"Yeah, we'll be there in a few minutes. Thanks for letting us know, papá," Miles said, finding the city skyline much more interesting than it was a minute ago. He could hear his mother's quiet laughter, dragging his father away to leave him alone with Panthera again. Before he could turn to her to apologize (for what, Miles wasn't entirely sure because, damn it, he wanted that kiss to happen), he felt something on his cheek.
That something was Panthera.
He turned to the girl, whose arms wrapped around one of his. She had a goofy smile.
"Don't apologize, alright? We're fine, I promise. Now come on, I heard you got red velvet, and I always wanted to try it!" Miles allowed himself to be dragged away by the cheerful girl, hand on the cheek that held a faint kiss print.
Not exactly what he was hoping for... but he certainly isn't complaining. And also trying to figure out how was he going to wash his face but preserve the mark...

my angsty bob's burgers au that's like a character study for bob and louise (specifically how they enable each other's worst traits as linda pointed out) <3
when louise is three years old, gene is five and tina is seven linda goes to pick up gene and tina from school and gets into a car accident where all three of them are killed. bob was working at the restaurant and louise was w/ him
obviously they both take it pretty hard, since bob lost two of his kids and louise lost her mom and her siblings :( bob tries to keep it together for louise & continues running the restaurant and taking care of her while struggling with grief. he doesn't want to be like his dad and emotionally shut out louise or avoid all discussion of her dead family so he really TRIES to be there for her and vunerable and talk about her siblings and mom but it's hard and louise was already not a very social kid. they end up being pretty isolated from their community and mostly keep to themselves without having any friends or family to rely on. outcast type vibes </3 very similar to norman bates and his mom in bates motel (but less incest and murder-y). but louise is DEFINITELY a daddy's girl and has a very strong connection to him (and fear of losing him)
linda's family (and especially gayle) are obviously devastated without her and don't really talk to louise or bob anymore bcuz they're just a living reminder of what they lost. gayle didn't get along super well with louise to begin with
big bob tries to be there to support bob and louise bcuz he's been where they are, but it's hard on him too, losing two of his grandkids after he already lost his wife. and without linda there to repair their relationship and keep things friendly they eventually fall out of touch w/ each other
bob doesn't really talk to people or socialize outside of the bare minimum with his customers, and louise doesn't have her older siblings to push her outside her comfort zone or anybody to look up to and emulate other than bob so she becomes a social outcast herself & the kids at her school are scared of her and think she's weird and creepy (she def leans into the personality of s1 and s2 louise a little more with the voodoo/horror type stuff. she's got serial killer vibes tbh)
louise is creepy and generally keeps to herself but she's also just mean and pushy and rude to other people. she becomes a bit of a bully esp to the weirder kids like andy and ollie without her siblings around to morally guide her and remind her to be kind. bob definitely tries his hardest but parenting and grief is Hard especially with being a single parent and there's only so much he can do..... there's a little bit of disconnect between them. so when teachers from school call bob and tell him that louise is being kinda pushy and rude to kids on the playground he's just like "well she's louise. thats how she is" and doesn't challenge her as much as he probably should esp w/ the grief and trauma in her life, he feels like he has to go easy on her and let her get away with things she otherwise wouldn't have
teddy still eats regularly at bob's burgers of course but he doesn't exactly. make conversation with bob and without linda around he doesn't feel welcomed as a friend, he's more of just a regular customer who comes around a few times a week for a burger. definitely not bob's best friend
louise was so young when linda, gene and tina died that she doesn't remember them at all by the time she's her canon age in the show. she knows she HAD siblings and she's seen pictures of them but she can't remember what they sounded like or their personalities, sometimes it freaks her out and she imagines what they would say to her if they were still around. it's just hard for her :( and especially without her relationship with linda to show her the complexity of womanhood i think she has some more internalized misogyny. a lot of mental health issues and trips to mr frond's office (which she HATES)
because linda died after louise was already in preschool she did sew louise's ears for her before she died and they're her last keepsake from her mom, so of course she wears them all the time and has an even stronger emotional attachment to them. bob's pretty good at sewing and knitting so he fixes them up for her whenever they're torn
louise got tina's bedroom (previously their shared bedroom) all to herself after they died while bob stayed in his and linda's old bedroom. gene's bedroom becomes like a weird office/storage space that they dont really use for anything they just keep some of tina and gene's old things in there like his keyboard etc. louise's closet bedroom remains a closet lmao but louise does end up with a pretty cool bedroom when she's older
louise would eventually become friends with rudy in this au because he's like the first person to show her the kindness and empathy that her siblings would have if they'd been alive, and he's not scared of her. this au would mostly be about their developing relationship and louise trying to become a more social and less.... aggresive person??
bob could probably learn something from her too. it's so hard to lose your family and losing children is the hardest thing ever but you can't stay in that grief for the rest of your life. especially when you DO have a surviving child to take care of and love as hard as that might be sometimes (he's not neglecting her or anything but neither of them really..... moved on emotionally after the accident. bob probably doesn't drive bcuz he's scared of hurting her, and he's definitely overprotective of louise because he doesnt want to lose the only person in the world he's still alive for)
probably not gonna do anything serious with this au but it's something I do think about from time to time. also on a lighter note these messages w/ @goldendoodlerlockerlove
#txt#bob's burgers#tw character death#it's like a fucked up its a wonderful life type story except nobody really learns anything and everyone is worse <3

things i want to get answers to in the remaining episodes of four leaf: a very comprehensive list that must be missing some things i just cant remember at the moment (also soilers for up until ep 139):
just in general evrything about the bells, and more especiall like how is lina giving lupe her bells (because that is 100% gonna happen i think) gonna affect them, for example if they'll get lina's bell as like their own, and if that bell being kinda broken is gonna be any problem
will that be a permanent change, is lupe gonna give the bell back to lina after they deal with the wolf
what's gonna happen to cricket if they really do deal with the wolf? or how will tehy come to some wsolution that doesnt harm anyone
CARLA!!! is she gonna be okay? that wound looks very nasty. i hope they'll be able to cure it somehow, and if not, then chopchop there goes a leg :/
talking about carla, is she gonna give er bells to someone like she mentioned in 138? that is only in case she wont be able to continue, but it loks very bad rn, so my question is, is it gonnna be mercy? or in general, who is it gonna be?
also about the bells, i really wanna know how many bells each witch has!! it''s just something i think would be interesting to analyse. (i looked through all the episodes where a witch has their bells out buut i still now only know for certain the number of bels like 7 witches have (before 137 and emma giving up her bells): Erica 1, Emma 2, Socks 2 (most likely, unless she got mor after the prison break, that's when she at least shows only 2), Alishba 3, Linda 3 (both of whose bells were shown during the prison break), Carla 20, Lina 21.
also also (i use that word so much), the names of the witches! we now know there are 17 witches in the red hoods (+lupe +lina so maybe 19 but oh well) and of those 17 we know the names of 12 (episode 133)
what i wanna know too is like which bell belongs to which witch? we've seen some, for example in the flashback of when they first appeared, and also in the festival of roses we see some, but like i wnna knowww (ye sit's very trivial but that's what makes it fun i think)
the mom. what happened with her in the 8 months that have passed since lupe was last in their original world? did she just continue on like normal, or did she actually regret some of the things she's done? will lupe go see her again?
the inevitable. the thing i've been waiting for for like 2 years. the KISS! alvar mentioned the witch loking very mad and the also saying he's the kinda guy to ask twice before a first kiss and what i think will happen is that he is gonna ask. like he's just the kinda guy. but the thing lupe (most likely) will be "mad" about is just that al didnt tell about it (even tho he was gonna tell you lupe, you just didnt want him to). or they arent mad, but just like very confused/fristrated and Al just interpreted it wrong? i dont know. we'll see (hopefully tomorrow in 140 but at the evry least in 141?? like i dont think it will take so long that it would be 142? (i am delusional). also looking at the future chapter thumbnails (not a fast pass reader), it looks like someone is using some kind of reddish/pinkish magic / teleporting right next to him)
okay this isnt a theory or anything, i just know lupe's dad is gonna be so smug learning about lupe and al's relationship when they do get into one like judging from ep 116 and the "crush" i jut know
okay wow this is a long post but i need to get these out of my head and scream into the void and wait if it screams back
back to the bells, they'r gonna give everyone their own one back right? if they deal wit hthe wolf, there shouldnt be any need to hoard all the power, and i dont think it would be very fair to let 72 people just go on about life without really even knowing what's going no just because you wanna levitate. i know it's probably more complicated than that but yeah
also (fuck, this word again) what's gonna happen to the witchs' craving of gloom? is it gonna go away if there is no wolf (okay this is assuming that it's dealt with and they wont come to a peaceful comclusion but if that happens i just really hope cricket will be okay)
are other witches gonna wanna get rid of their bells and become human like emma?
i would like some more information about the different worlds, although i think it's unlikely tha will come up in the chapters themselves, but maybe as some bonus content somewhere?
okay so i already wrote about like if Lina's bell being broken is gonna have any effect on lupe, but will it affect Lina herself? i would assume not, but you never know
just in general, i cant wait to see how everything comes to a conclusion and how the ending is gonna be (even tho i would love for it to go on for longer). are we gonnna see another time skip?
man i just remembered there are alaso civilians in Garua at the moment too like the redhoods are gonna get the to safety right? maybe that will also help a little with the public's fear of the witches, the news that hey maybe they're not bad through and through (even tho that was never the case but most people still thought that so)
fuck this is long how many words even is this... 1005???? man that's like 2/3 of the essays we had to write in high school. yea it's easier to just put stuff from your mind into bullet points but this has taken me like maybe 45 minutes where as those essays took at least 5 hours. i bet i could make one from one of my interests in like 2 hours and i would be much better than any of those monstrocities i wrote
anyway back on track
actually those are the main ones i remember now, maybe i'll update this once more come to mind, but for now this is enough for today
pictured above is me falling for this series
wait one more thing: is it stated anywhere how much the bells weigh? i would assume they're more like incorporeal so they wouldn't hve any mass, and i fell like should know this i've read this series 5 or 6 times. but if they do infact hve mass, do the witches have to actively levitate them or are they jsut funky like that
#fellow four leaf readers please tell me stuff i didnt consider that should probably be here#four leaf webtoon#four leaf#webtoon#tuisku thinks (shocking)#man i just have so many questions and i just want to know everything about this world#or worlds#this is honestly one of my all time favorite serieses#in all media formats#i know i've said it before but it is true so it should be stated again#im so normal about it you dont even know#also i hope most of those havent already been answered although some might have been#sporry for anyone who had to see this/read all of it i applaud you this was so not organized and very confusing#villasukat.

OK HERES MY PROPAGANDA TO EITHER SUBMIT, OR IF SHE GETS IN, VOTE FOR, CANDACE FLYNN TO @he-would-not-fucking-say-that.
I AM GOING TO PREFACE THIS BY SAYING THAT WHILE I FULLY TRUST ONLY FIVE OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS FANDOM W CANDACE THE MAJORITY OF YOU R PROBABLY FINE. IF UR MY MUTUAL UR DEFINITELY FINE. I AM NOT TRYING TO INSULT ANYONE I AM SIMPLY SAYING THAT THE FANDOM IN GENERAL TENDS TO RLY FUCK UP CANDACES CHARACTER IN BASICALLY EVERY SINGLE WAY
1: LITERALLY THE WRITERS ALSO DID THIS. WHILE CANDACE HAS BETTER CONSISTENCY THEN LIKE. LINDA OR MINOR/STRAIGHT UP MADE TO BE DISLIKED CHARACTERS, THERE ARE SO MANY MOMENTS THAT ARE JUST MEAN AND OOC TO HER.
AND SHES AN INTENDED BUTT-MONKEY, IM NOT JUST SAYING BAD STUFF HAPPENS TO HER, IM SAYING AN EPISODE STRAIGHT UP LIES AND SAYS SHES NEVER DONE ANYTHING NICE FOR HER BROTHER EVER(EVER?!!!?!!) BEFORE THAT EPISODE. DESPITE HER CANONICALLY BEING A GOOD SISTER. AND THIS KINDA THING DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH THAT LIKE. U NOTICE WHEN SHES A BIT TOO MEAN OR TOO MUCH OF A PUSHOVER OR A BIT TOO INTENTIONALLY ANNOYING OR WEIRD FOR THE SAKE OF GOING "ISNT SHE ANNOYING AND WEIRD?" FOR NO REAL REASON
2: SHE IS A COMPLEX, WRITTEN AS A TEEN BC SHES A TEEN, ND-CODED OLDER SISTER FEMALE CHARACTER IN DISNEY MEDIA. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE ABOUT HOW THE FANDOM MISINTERPRETS HER? BC I WILL
3: THE BIGGEST USUAL OFFENDER I WILL SEE IN BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS SHE IS EITHER COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH BUSTING TO A FRANKLY OOC AMOUNT(LIKE. IT GETS TO "SHED LET SOMEONE SHE LOVES ALMOST/ACTUALLY DIE FOR A CHANCE AT IT" BAD SOMETIMES), OR SHE DOESN'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT BUSTING THEM AND SHE'LL STOP AT THE SLIGHTEST INSTANCE DURING THE EVENTS OF THE SHOW(WHEN ITS LITERALLY HER WHOLE MOTIVATION FOR 95% OF THE SHOW. LIKE HER THING IS BUSTING SHE CAN 100% PUT IT OFF IF SHE NEEDS TO BUT SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BASICALLY EVER). ITS IN LIKE. EVERYTHING. ITS INSANE. THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THIS FANDOM WHO THINK SHE EITHER BARELY CARES ABOUT HER MAIN MOTIVATION OR THAT SHED LET SOMEONE SHE CARES ABOUT GET STABBED OVER IT.
4: SHE IS SO DEMONIZED. THE PNF FANDOM, DESPITE BEING SUCH A NEURODIVERSE FANDOM, IS LIKE THE PEAK EXAMPLE OF HOW ND-CODED CHARACTERS TEND TO EITHER GET INFANTALIZED OR DEMONIZED DEPENDING ON HOW "CUTE" THEIR USUAL TRAITS AND STIMS ARE. DESPITE DOOFENSHMIRTZ ACTING LIKE HER MOST OF THE TIME, AND BEING TREATED AS MORE ANNOYING THEN CANDACE USUALLY, HES ALL FINE AND CUTE WITH HIS RELATABLE QUIRKS, MEANWHILE CANDACES R USUALLY SEEN AS ANNOYING OR TOO EXTREME. THE PARALLELS ARE LITERALLY INTENTIONAL AND PEOPLE ACT LIKE SHES HORRIBLE AND ANNOYING COMPARED TO DOOF.
5: HER RELATIONSHIPS WITH LITERALLY EVERYONE GETS AFFECTED BY PEOPLE DISLIKING HER. SO MANY PEOPLE END UP PUTTING HER RELATIONSHIP WITH JEREMY DOWN AS HER BEING CREEPY AND WEIRD AND SCARING HIM OFF WHEN THATS LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF CANON, OR DECIDING STACY WOULD GET TIRED OF HER BUSTING OBSESSION AND STOP BEING HER FRIEND WHEN THE SHOW PULLED THAT AND CANONICALLY SHOWED ITD WORK ITSELF OUT BC CANDACE LEARNS TO MANAGE HER PRIORITIES!!!! THATS LIKE ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THINGS AND I WILL RANT BOUT HOW PEOPLE DISRESPECT HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT LATER. OR THEY DECIDE THAT LINDA IS THE WORST MOM EVER SPECIFICALLY TO CANDACE TO A HORRIBLE EXTENT BC OF THE INCONSISTENT WRITING THERE, OR THAT SHE DOESN'T RLY CARE ABOUT HER BROTHERS, SHE JUST WANTS THEM IN TROUBLE DESPITE LIKE. EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN THING BOUT THE SHOW SAYING OTHERWISE. SO MANY PEOPLE GET HER DYNAMIC W PERRY WRONG TOO BUT THATS USUALLY LESS OUT OFMISINTERPRETINGN HER AND MORE BC ITS COMPLICATED.
SOME PEOPLE GENUINELY GET TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY BE PATIENT ENOUGH TO DEAL W CANDACE BESIDES JEREMY, STACY, AND HER DIRECT FAMILY BC SHE'S SO ANNOYING DESPITE HOW DEEPLY CANONICALLY UNTRUE EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT THAT IS.
5: NO ONE. FUCKIN RESPECTS HER CHARACTER COMPLEXITY. EVER. SHE DOESN'T JUST WANT TO BUST NON-STOP THROUGHOUT THE PLOT UP UNTIL SHE DOESN'T, SHE HAS A CURVE TO IT!!! SHE STARTS OUT WANTING TO BUST BUT WILLING TO PUT IT ASIDE EASILY ENOUGH IN VAGUE COMPARISON, ENDS UP STUCK IN THE CYCLE AND OBSESSED W BUSTING THEM TO A FAR GREATER EXTENT, BEFORE EVENTUALLY WORKING HER WAY OUT AND GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE HER PRIORITIES CAN BE HANDLED REASONABLY, EVEN IF BUSTING IS USUALLY AT THE TOP!!! AND SHE ABSOLUTELY HAS ISSUES W HER FAMILY, SHES NOT JUST ALWAYS PERFECT TO THEM OR ANYTHING, SHE GETS PISSED OFF AT HER BROTHERS AND MOM A LOT, BUT ITS VERY CLEAR HOW MUCH SHE LOVES THEM AND HOW MUCH SHE'D RISK FOR THEM CONSTANTLY!!!! SHE CAN BE STALKERISH, YEA, ESPECIALLY EARLY ON, BUT NOT ONLY IS IT BALANCED OUT BY THE FACT THAT JEREMY LITERALLY KNEW SHE WAS DOING IT, BUT SHE ALSO STOPS FAIRLY QUICKLY!!!
AND OFC THERES SHIT THAT THEY DONT UTILIZE ENOUGH W HER(HER TROUBLE SAYING NO, MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMS, TROUBLES W LETTING HERSELF HAVE FUN AND DO THINGS OUTSIDE OF WHAT SHE BELIEVES IS EXPECTED, AND WHATNOT) BUT SHES SUCH A WELL FLESHED OUT CHARACTER, AND PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT HER IS WELL DONE IN A WAY PEOPLE NEVER USE OR RECOGNIZE!!!! HER GENERAL THIRST FOR JUSTICE, HER ANXIETY (AND!!! HOW THE PEOPLE AROUND HER ACCOMMODATE HER SO WELL RATHER THEN JUST IGNORING IT LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE THINK), THE WHOLE GODDAMN CYCLE SHES TRAPPED IN AND HER ETERNALLY TRYING TO GET OUT???
NO ONE DOES SHIT W IT, NO ONE USES OR RESPECTS IT, AND SO FEW FUCKING PEOPLE EVEN RECOGNIZE THE CURVE OF HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ITS INSANE
6: OH MY GOD DO YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE REMOVE HER CHARACTER ENTIRELY SO SHE CAN FIT IN THIS CUTE CANDY PINK BOX. SHES GIRLY, SHE LIKES PINK, WHATEVER!!!! SHES LOUD SHES RUDE SHES ALLOWED TO BE SELFISH AND PEOPLE WILL TAKE THAT ALL AWAY TO ACT LIKE SHES THIS CUTESY BITCH WITH NO FUCKING DEPTH BEYOND BEING THE PINK LOVEY ONE. LIKE ITS RARER TO SEE BUT ITS THE REASON THAT DESPITE HAVING CANDESSA AS A COMFORT SHIP I CANNOT STAND THE FANON FOR IT BC PEOPLE ARE FUCKIN DESPERATE TO REMOVE ANYTHING REAL ABOUT HER CHARACTER TO EITHER MAKE HER HORRIBLE IN WAYS SHE LITERALLY CANONICALLY WOULDN'T BE OR TOO SANDED OFF TO DO ANYTHING OR CARE BOUT ANYTHING!!!!!
IM SURE ILL THINK OF MORE AND ADD IT ON LATER THIS IS JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
