#like you've GOTTA die if you do that. but if you just link back

[sergle]

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

#there is actually nothing morally wrong with running an account that just reuploads ppl's artwork or their jokes or their cosplays #if you just put a VISIBLE LINK in the description of your post with proper credit then it would be beneficial for everyone #because you can get your little clout or whatever it is you want by putting a bunch of same-category content on a page #but nobody's getting fucked over because if your post blows up then people just get FUNNELED to the source #because it's placed so plainly where everyone can see it #and yeah it's better to retweet or reblog but #on the rare occasion that I see my shit reuploaded on tumblr WHICH IS WEIRD BC I MAKE MY OWN POSTS HERE but anyway #someone making their own post where they upload my stuff. and it's always the floral self portraits so let's say it's a post with all those #if I scroll to the bottom and it says like. Artwork by Serglesinner on Twitter <-- clickable link [Sergle's Prints] <-- clickable link #to my etsy #I'm like oh okay and all the anger leaves my body and I'm like ah I see. and I toss the rock aside #like oh okay so you actually care that a person made these pieces. Instead of posting the caption ''women <3'' or smth #like you've GOTTA die if you do that. but if you just link back #or if you go to the effort of writing like a description with a BLURB? like it's a damn museum. like a light paragraph of info #about what the art is and who made it and their links #I am literally sucking you in a strange and peculiar manner. that is extremely helpful #and maybe other artists don't want this AT ALL and they'd rather people not reupload even if it is credited #but I feeeeeeeeel. like 99% of the time this would solve the issue #reposters could genuinely be helping ppl. sometimes the repost gets more traction than the real thing #as long as it credits the creator then that's an okay thing to happen! #that can land somebody a sale! a commission order! a new fan! A JOB #A JOB!!!!!!!!!! #sergle.txt #I didn't write this eloquently AT ALL what the fuck ever barkbarkbarkbark

[fourswords]

as much as i think link would create some sort of mental disconnect between him and the four links he was split up into at first because he doesn't want to believe he's capable of. ahem. some of the things the four of them did (not even vio tbh i think he can come to terms with stabbing someone in the back better than he can blue blasting his dad with the four sword, no matter the situation. see: how even blue fell to his knees crying after he did it) i do think him accepting that they are him and he is them is also the key to finally, properly making up with shadow. i think that imagining the two of them post-manga also means accepting the fundamental fact that, on some level, one part of link cared about shadow even when in the moment that shadow was burning the kingdom he loved and called home to the ground. it's a much easier thing to see your enemy shaking like a leaf in front of you and attempting to aid you and develop an attachment to them there and then (like blue and green did) than it is to develop an attachment to them while they're. y'know. actively destroying your home. and i think link's acceptance of himself as the four and himself being the same people and grappling with his/their actions would also let him stop being a little shit for 2 seconds and actually talk to shadow about everything instead of just butting heads all the time about who was in the right & who was in the wrong.

and i think the same thing could be argued in shadow's case too, tbh: it was literally a Whole Thing concerning how quickly he got attached to vio and on some level he still cared about him even after the betrayal—his sheer hurt and rage at being talked down to by the first person he ever trusted being indicative of that aside, his first instinct when transforming was to take on vio's face, because who else would he have looked like other than the one person he'd called a friend? and i think he got attached to blue and green just as fast as they did to him, tbh, during that little walk to the palace of winds. after all, it only took a couple kind words from zelda for him to be willing to sacrifice himself to save her, and green and blue both being kind to him as well (green fussing over him, blue twisting the pedestal ball for him because he couldn't do it himself) even though the kindness wasn't meant for him specifically because he was still disguised as vio is more than enough to cement them into his "i'd die for you btw" list as well. it's with all four parts of link surrounding him—almost a whole, but not quite—and green's smile and kind words that he finally allows himself to embrace the light, and therein lies the problem: it's with link's disparate parts that he forms that final, fleeting bond. not with link himself, as a whole.

so, while he can see hints of his first friend (or. well. frenemy. but friend from his perspective) in link, that's still not the same as when he was actually talking to vio himself. link's smile is different than green's by the fact that. well. link is not green! and for someone in shadow's position i'd imagine that it would be easy to become worried about the fact that the people who accepted you into their fold are gone and you've just been left behind with this stranger who IS them but also ISN'T. and so he's gotta accept that they're link and he's them, too. and also another thing to consider is that link and shadow are both like. 12-year-olds with rocks for brains and both of their first instincts are to lash out when something they don't like happens (shadow is still LINK'S shadow, after all). so that definitely plays a factor in. all of it. but i think in the end they Are going to talk it out (probably kind of stupidly because they're idiots like that) and they Will make up because how could they not? the underlying message is clear on both sides, in the end: i cared about you when we were still enemies and i care about you now, and i want to be proper friends this time around. and i think that's exactly what they go on to be!

For the writers' ask game: 11, 18, 37, please?

Thanks for asking ♥️

Answers behind the cut to spare your dashboards. If you want to play the "get to know your fic writers" game, just pick your question(s) from this list!

11. Link your three favorite fics right now

I always have so many favorites but three recent favorites that I cannot recommend highly enough are:

The Tolling Bells by @edsbacktattoo, which was recently completed and an incredible experience to follow. As a writer, I will never have enough praise for what was accomplished here. As a reader, let me just say that if you like visceral longing and existential overwhelm that still has a happy ending, you've gotta give it a try.

As We Go Hand in Hand by @petrichorca, which is such a sweet, poignant, healing one-shot about Ed's post-canon headspace as he reckons with the size of his love for Stede, how badly he wants to marry him, and how unworthy he still feels of it. Ends with them in a believable but secure place.

The recently resumed Prevailing Winds by holograms. Not sure if they're on tumblr. Anyway, it's an alternate timeline AU, in which Blackbeard and The Gentleman Pirate die the deaths that happened IRL after having a completely different love story, but Ed comes back to do it all over again in the canon timeline. He seems to be the only one who knows what's going on and is desperate to protect Stede and himself from the fates they met before, and his new story is interspersed with flashbacks to the other one, where we get to see them fall in love and what ends up going wrong. It's fascinating as both a reader and a writer, and I'm so impressed with how they're handling telling such a complex story while managing to make every character believable in both timelines.

18. Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?

Titling usually happens like 2/3 of the way through? If it's a one-shot I usually figure out something that's relevant to what's been written so far that a) sounds good and b) sparks some curiosity. Although sometimes the titles are also just very prosaic.

That 2/3 rule applies for my current longfic as in I was 2/3 of my way through Chapter 1. The thing the title comes from is probably not going to actually come up in the fic until chapter 4 or 5, but the timing still works.

For the chapter titles I'm using songs, but I'm using them completely free of context. The content of the songs has mattered significantly less than their titles, and I have a whole doc full of song titles that I think I'm gonna use for future chapters. The exception, so far, might be Chapter 3. I had a non-song title for Chapter 2, then everything relevant to it got pushed back to 3. So there's a chance that anything could happen, really!

37. How do you choose where to end a chapter?

Oh my goodness this is such A Question for Chapter 2. With Chapter 1, I knew down to the exact line I wanted to end on, which meant I knew which scene it would be, which meant I just had to figure out what came before. For a first chapter I think that can work because that's when you're sort of presenting your thesis statement (if not to readers then at least to yourself). I don't think that will be viable going forward.

I had some idea of where I thought Chapter 2 could end, but these chucklefucks are so verbose (especially in their heads) that every single possibility I'd previously thought of ended up being wrong. All of those scenes got pushed back to Chapter 3 at least. I knew I didn't want chapter 2 to get too long or the trend of ever increasing chapter length would absolutely paralyze me and o would never get anything else written.

The end of Chapter 2 is literally, literally the first part of it that could have worked as a stopping point for me, and the whole chapter still ended up being ~1500 words longer than the previous one. I have a feeling that "finally a good stopping point!" might be the way it gets decided in the future, although I guess what makes a good stopping point is stuff like the end of a pivotal scene, the reveal of an important bit of information, a character resolving to do something, etc. We'll see!

Terrible Trilogy

Part 18

wordcount: 7,004

Your back was shoved against the wall with big hands wrapped around the upper arms of your jacket. Blue eyes narrowed down at you as Stu pinned you against the wall.

"Where the HELL were you?!" Stu demanded. "We thought you went back into the house or skipped town or the copycat got you or some shit! Would it kill you to fucking call?!" Stu lifted one hand while still pinning you with the other, making a phone sign and giving an awful imitation of your voice. "Oh, hey guys! I'm totally in one piece but I'm gonna be late. Just take my car back to the motel. Thanks, you're the best Stu!" He dropped the hand sign and stared you down. "...Huh?!" 

Billy came up beside you, leaning his arm on the wall. "And who the hell was with you just now?" 

You huffed after the shock wore off, returning the glare at both of them. "I'm fine, by the way. Just a few stitches in my hand." You jeered before shoving Stu away. He let go of you as you moved past him and dropped your purse onto the bed.

Stu huffed. "Well, that's great! I'm glad! I was gonna ask that! Okay, I was! Right Billy?...Come on, man. Tell her how worried I was." He wildly gestured to Billy while he ignored Stu and just walked towards you with his arms folded.

"Let me put this into perspective for you here…I come back to find both of you gone after our little disagreement. Called Stu just to find out you went to a party with people that work on Stab. I got a taxi to drop me off a block away because I knew it was a stupid idea and the killer would be there. Then when I got there, my suspicions were right! Shocker!… You're bleeding and hysterical; running off right before the house just blows up. We searched for you and had to get the car back to the motel when we heard sirens…You've been gone all night without a single call and now you just got dropped off by a man we've never seen before. So, I'm asking again…Who was the guy that dropped you off, YN?" Billy demanded.

You sucked in a breath and looked up at the ceiling. Rolling your lips before practically coughing out the answer under your breath. "...Detective Kincaid." 

Stu huffed with a wry smirk. " Is he an actor or something playing a cop on Set? Damn, go to one party and already you're letting these Hollywood douchebags sucker you in. " 

You raised a brow at him. "Noooo…I mean, he's an actual Detective and he's in charge of this case." 

Billy's entire face dropped as he stared at you in disbelief.  "...A fucking cop?...AN ACTUAL COP?" 

" The Detective looks like THAT?! You gotta be fucking kidding me, man." Billy side eyed Stu as Stu walked towards you. "…You were with the cops this whole time?! What the hell did you tell him?!" 

 "I told him Billy and Stu are alive and I'm helping them! Obviously!" Your face dropped and your hands fell with a loud smack at your sides. ".…What the hell do you think I told them?! I told Kincaid the bare minimum and left out anything that links me back to you two. In fact, you both still don't exist…Well…Except, Dennis." 

Stu gave a nervous chuckle. "Whaddya mean? Why uh…Why are you saying it like that?" 

You shrank back a bit. "Um…Since you weren't at the party and you're next to be killed off in one of the scripts-" 

"WHAT?...WHAT?!" You cringed at how high his voice rose. 

"Look, there's three scripts and in one of them; Stu Macher is next to die in the flashback. Some nightmare gone wrong in Sidney's memory sort of thing…We think the killer is following one of the scripts."

Stu's face paled. "Oh shit…What the fuck?! I'm getting Freddy Kruegered over here in some dream memory crap?! They're doing me like that?!" He jabbed a finger to his own chest, eyebrows raised and eyes wide. 

"In the script!" You corrected him.

"Well, no shit! So not only is my character going to only have like 20 seconds of screen time but they're gonna kill me?!...And this asshole is after me in real life! Nice. Fucking perfect." 

 "But um…We don't know which script. So either you or Angelina or even Jennifer or Gale since they didn't die like we thought or Dewey unless Tom counts-" 

"Shhiitt! Shit, man!" Stu exclaimed as he ignored you. 

Billy glared at you both. "ONCE AGAIN, I was right that it was a major fucking mistake coming here with you two fuck ups!" 

"Guys, listen-" 

He interrupted you while ranting. "I was gone for a few hours, a few fucking hours, and look what happened! You morons sneak on set, go to a party that was obviously a trap-" 

"Billy, would you listen-" 

"-YN gets attacked, the house blows up and now there's cops involved!" He turned back to you, up in your space demanding an answer.  "Why did he drive you here? Why would you have a cop know where you're staying?!" Billy argued.

You snapped at them both. "I DON'T KNOW, OKAY?!" You rubbed your tired eyes as you enunciated every word in irritation. "Would you both calm down and listen?... Me and Stu went for clues-" You gestured to Stu but he barely looked at you. You huffed and continued. "-We knew there was a chance the killer would be there so Stu stayed hidden down the road but we had no idea the freaking house would explode! When I ran away from you two; I fell down the hill looking for Dewey and Randy and the cops arrived…" 

"Yeah, well if you wouldn't have ran away from us you wouldn't have rolled down the hill where cops could find you!" 

"BILLY…You both came out of nowhere and a voice that was identical to yours called me saying he was you. You would do the same thing in my shoes!... I was at the party and went missing during the kills. I would have gotten questioned MORE if I didn't go to the precinct!"

Stu looked at the ceiling, shaking his leg with a disbelieving grin. "This can't be happening, man…The cops are gonna question me hard now. I was prepared for a few questions but now?! What am I supposed to say? This is unreal!" 

Billy yelled over his shoulder as you gave them both an annoyed stare. "It's real. Believe it, dipshit! You wanted to be famous? You got it!" 

"Guys, just chill out!…We have bigger things to worry about than the law right now…A lot bigger." 

"What could be bigger than the law?" Billy demanded.

"Uh, the fact we have a killer on the loose! One that knows us…Really, really knows us. In fact, they know our every move. I think that's more concerning right now." 

Billy glared back at you. The anger you felt at what he had to say from earlier was still there and you could tell he felt the same.

"...You still think we're the killers?" Billy mumbled. "Are you that stupid?" 

"Well, you being hostile and defensive CONSTANTLY isn't exactly screaming 'innocent' to me. Coming out of the woods after being gone an entire day and you don't think I'm not going to be suspicious? Why would you even give a shit enough to come save me?" 

"I DON'T give a shit. It's called damage control; something we are beyond fixing now…So, did you tell the cop I called?" 

"No! Of course not!" 

Billy raised chin, eyes narrowed as he looked at you from the length of his nose. "Really? So that little eye fucking you were both doing just now in the parking lot is nothing, huh?" 

Stu joined in. "Yeah, no kidding. You acted pretty damn comfortable for someone that could go to prison too. I swear, he looked at you like you both had a VERY long chat…Maybe vertical, maybe horizontal. " Stu leered at you. 

"WHAT?!" You squawked in disbelief. "Oh my God, you both are so…I don't even have a word other than obvious; INSANE! You have some major malfunctions if you think ANYTHING happened between me and Mark within the few hours I've known him!" 

"Who?" Stu raised his pierced brow with a scoff.

You rolled your eyes practically into the back of your head. "Detective Mark Kincaid." 

Billy shoved away from you and raced to your purse on the bed. You saw him dump it out and run his hands over everything.

"What the hell are you doing?! You can't just go through my shit without asking!" 

"Shut up! Since you're getting chummy with cops and letting them take you back to our motel; I'm looking for a bug. Consider it even for going through my bag" 

You snatched whatever you could away from him. "There was never a time this purse wasn't with me other than leaving it in the car before the explosion. And I told you, Stu went through it! Not me!" 

"Yeah well, call me paranoid. Maybe it wasn't the pigs' idea." He spat with a sarcastic smirk.

You rolled your eyes. "You actually think I'm trying to frame you?! Are you serious??" 

"Yep, just making sure you don't try to get cops involved…Again. You have a pattern of that, remember?" He growled out. A hostile glare your way as you bit your inner cheek and returned the glare. 

"One time is not a pattern, Loomis. Windsor doesn't count, that was out of my hands. The detectives were assigned to me…Whaddya gonna do? Frisk me next?!" 

"Maybe." He mumbled as Stu eyed you up and down. 

You defensively put your arms over your chest. "Come near me and I will run out of this motel screaming my head off." 

"It's LA. I doubt anyone would pay attention." Billy reasoned, still focused on skimming over the contents of your purse. 

"Then you'll get a bullet between your eyes. How about that?" 

Stu sighed to himself. "Lord, you'd think that gun was superglued to your hand." 

"Being with you two? It might be…" You snatched a crumpled up piece of paper.

 You realized it was the copy letter you had shoved back in your purse from the restaurant. Too scared to just throw it away anywhere and too wrapped up in that night's fiasco to figure out where to properly put it…You stared at it long and hard before it hit you.

"...Oh my God..." You mumbled under your breath. 

Stu put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling in his own thoughts.  Billy grumbled to himself as he searched. All while you were piecing everything together. 

"...They're bullshitting us."  You looked up at them and said it louder. Smacking the paper against your thigh as it all was making sense. "....It's bullshit…The threats, the photos, the letters…It's all bullshit!" 

Billy stopped looking for a moment and Stu looked over at you. "Huh?" Stu muttered as you raced over to him pointing at the letter. 

"Why did they make a duplicate of my original letter?" 

Stu shrugged. "Because they're unoriginal? We know that already, Sweetcheeks! Where the hell have you been?" 

You smacked the paper to your thigh in irritation. "Nnooooo! Think about it; they could have sent me a new letter and they didn't. Randy and Dewey were right there-" 

"Yeah, cause Ray's doing it." 

"STU. I am begging you right now. PLEASE, put your territorial crap aside. Even if it is Randy…Why not send a new, more incriminating letter to let Dewey know? Or even a picture? You can't tell me the killer didn't have pictures then! In fact, we know they did because that picture was of us when we first arrived. So they had evidence when I went to the restaurant; so why not use it?" 

Billy and Stu exchanged glances as you paused a moment before continuing. "...You know what I think? I think this new killer wanted me to think one of you put it in my purse…" Your face lit up as you connected the dots. "That's why it's identical to the original! Word for word!" 

Billy stood up slowly and stopped looking as you spoke. 

Stu blinked down at you, pointing at you as realization dawned on him as well. "...Why haven't they sent any photos to anybody but us?" 

You jumped in place with your voice rising in excitement. "Exactly! And the killer attacked Gale after I rolled down the hill…" 

Billy looked at you. "There's no way me or Stu could have gotten down there in time." 

You swallowed a moment, thinking before nodding. "...I hate to admit it but you have a point. It's almost impossible that either of you could have got dressed in the costume and gone down that hill from the woods in the time frame the house exploded and we rolled down it." 

"Partners. Just saying." Stu mumbled.

Billy glared at him and you for once agreed with Stu. "It is possible. Because things aren't adding up. Whoever this is, is either one of us with a partner or it's someone close. Someone from Woodsboro. Someone that knows everything from that night." 

Billy scrunched his face, not looking at you as he was deep in thought. "...They wanted you to think it was me or Stu or both of us." He looked over at both of you with knowing eyes. "That's why he called in my voice. It wasn't just to lure YN out there, it was so she'd think I was behind it." 

Stu pointed with an astonished look. "Yooo, that's why he probably ran off and stopped attacking you! He heard me coming and went towards my direction in the treeline to make it look like it was me!" 

You still were hesitant about whether or not they were completely innocent. You still agreed. "...I think that's a big possibility…He wants us to turn on each other…" You gestured to the letter in your hands. "He wants us sleep deprived and scared and thinking the worst! He, she, they; whoever the hell is doing this is setting us up against one another! They aren't even going to the cops!

Billy shook his head. "We can't risk that." 

"Why not?" You argued, hyped at the idea you might finally be piecing it all together.

He scoffed at you. "Because me and Stu have a lot to lose if we're wrong." 

"Billy, think about it! If they were really going to turn us into the cops; they would have done it by now! They want to divide and conquer-" 

"And gut the sorry ass left standing after we kill each other." Stu finished for you as you pointed with a nod. "She's got a point, man." 

Billy gave you both a glare. "We still can't risk that! It's a theory!" 

"Well are you going to just bend over and let this guy fuck you or are you going to do something about it?" Stu jeered. "Because I for one am getting really sick and tired of these mind games… Aren't you?" 

"Of course I am but I'm also using my head here." 

Billy glared at Stu as you interjected.

 "Look…We have no idea who this is but we know that not only are they trying to pin us against each other but that Stu is a target." 

Stu's face dropped. "Hey, hey, hey! We don't know that for sure!" 

Billy gave him a condescending grin. "Sure we do. You're the pierced up freak. They never live in horror movies." 

Stu looked genuinely worried. " What about you? You're a damn weirdo!"  

"Loners don't die until half way through after everyone suspects it's them. Sluts, Punks and Dumbass Popular kids are the first to die. It's the rules…You're all of the above now, kid." 

You held up a hand while shooting a frown at Billy who just gave you a wry smirk in return. "We don't know for sure! But there's three scripts. Gale was supposed to be killed last night and she wasn't. Neither was Jennifer that plays her. BUT now the target is either still them or it's Angelina, Dewey now that Tom's bit the dust or…" 

"Stu." You both said in unison, glancing over at Stu as he swallowed hard. 

You looked at them both. "We know the police are going to look for Dennis Rafkin for questioning. And the killer is looking for Stu Macher." 

Billy raised his brows. "So…Let's give them what they want. Stu will go about like he's Dennis and we'll keep watch for the killer after Stu." 

"I don't have an alibi, Billy! What the hell am I telling the cops?!" 

"Just play it cool like we practiced at Woodsboro,  alright? Now that someone blew our cover-" He glared at you and you gave him an annoyed look before he looked back at Stu. "It's gonna be risky telling them the motel number…Did you order anything here?" 

"Nope. " 

"Shit…So basically the cops are supposed to just take your word for it you stayed here this entire time. AND we gotta hope and pray the agent you claim was killed didn't have paperwork or proof of you at that motel…Fuck." Billy hissed out.

They looked at you and you sighed heavily. "...Fine. The room is listed under Dennis Rafkin because Stu here wanted to be a 'gentleman' and get the room for us with just two beds." You mumbled. "So if worst comes to worse; say it." 

"Say what?"

"...That this is your room." 

Stu huffed as a slow smirk tugged at his lips. "And what will you tell your Harry Callahan when he finds out you went into my room, Sweetcheeks?" 

You gnawed at your inner cheek with a glare Stu's way. You looked away with a disgusted grimace. "...Tell them whatever you need to without showboating, Stu." 

Stu grinned ear to ear. "Showboating? Me? Nah, you don't gotta worry about that, babe." 

Billy shot him a glare as well. "Don't do it. Not unless you're cornered and don't have a choice because I'm not going to prison just so you can have a dick measuring contest with that Detective…Got it?" 

Stu lost his grin and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever." He threw up his arms. "So you both want me to be bait??" 

"Yep." You both nodded as Stu's mouth dropped.

"Wait, seriously??? Can't Dennis just skip town-" 

"And risk this killer keeping his word and notifying cops? Not a chance in Hell." Billy growled out. "You just have to be Dennis, play it cool, act like you're clueless and only admit the room you're staying in if asked. Say you weren't feeling up to a party or whatever. Make something up that's credible. " 

You pointed to yourself.  "Meanwhile, I'll be with Dewey and Randy looking for clues on the surface." 

"And I GUESS I have to be the one lurking in the shadows; watching." Billy finished for you.

"But I'm still bait? For real??" 

You smirked at him. "You want a Scooby snack if you do it? Two scooby snacks?" 

Stu gave you an unamused stare as you saw Billy smirking in your peripheral. 

 "That's hilarious. Really." Stu deadpanned. 

You shrugged and walked over to the bed. "Look, we don't have a choice now. And don't get to blame me for the party or Detective Kincaid when you were the one that just had to join Stab." 

Stu rolled his eyes as you shoved things back in your purse. "Now, I'm going to clean up the mess Loomis made, get some rest and we'll go from there…First let me put this letter with the other one in my suitcase before it falls out again." 

————————————————————

You were startled by a knock on the door. Billy and Stu instantly jumped up, knives ready and hunkered down. You blinked at them before getting up from bed and creeping to the door. You looked through the peephole to see a familiar face.

"Who is it?" Stu whispered from across the room.

"It's Dewey." 

Billy threw up his hand. "Does everybody suddenly know where we're staying? Why don't we just put our names on the fucking door?! Save everyone the trouble." 

You shrugged with a bewildered look of your own before urging them to hide. You waited as Stu ducked behind the bed and Billy went under it. You had some deja vu before opening the door.

'At least a knife isn't in my back this time.' You thought as you opened the door. 

"O-Oh, YN. I was worried Randy was wrong about the motel number he saw you come out of." Dewey mumbled with an awkward smile. 

You smiled and purposely stepped out a bit to close the door behind you as much as you could without clicking the lock. 

"No, no. I'm just surprised to see you!…I kind of passed out and took the longest nap of my life…What time is it?" 

Dewey checked his watch. "A quarter till 4. I would call but we weren't completely sure about the motels pjone number and well…You not having a phone now. Want me to get you a burner phone for now?" 

You blinked and nodded. "Uh yeah, that'd be great." 

You still were reeling at the fact you all slept for roughly 6 hours straight. Considering your lack of sleep, it wasn't too shocking. You looked to see Dewey's Ford Explorer in the parking lot with what looked like Gale in the front seat and who you presumed was Randy in the back.

"Did you…Did you sleep in your clothes from last night?" He asked with a hint of concern.

You looked down at the white camisole with dirt stains on it now and your scoffed up red pleather pants that you thought were extremely uncomfortable but the more you wore them and the more tired you got; you noticed them less and less.

"Uh yeah…I was exhausted. Okay, so um…Are you just checking up on me or?" You gave a nervous smile, terrified he'd want to come inside. 

"Actually, Kincaid wanted to check the Set we think the pictures of Maureen Prescott were taken from and we wanted to know if you wanted to tag along." 

You thought a moment before nodding. "Yeah but um…Can I just drive and meet you there?" 

Dewey nodded. "Uh yeah. Sure. I think that'll be okay." 

You gave him a relieved smile. "Thanks I just feel better with my own car. Security thing." 

"Should we wait on you?" 

"Uh no! No, I gotta get awake and ready…How about we meet at the entrance gate to the set? I should be out of here in like 15 minutes. " 

Dewey nodded and you quickly said goodbye before getting back inside. You flinched, coming face to face with both Billy and Stu. 

"So…Go time?" Stu asked.

Billy nodded and put his knife away. "Seems like it. I say we ride in the back of the trunk, duck down near the gate and slide out once YN parks." 

 "Okay. What about Stu?" 

Stu gave you a look. "DENNIS is going to lay low, look busy, avoid cops if he can and try to confiscate his files." 

Billy raised a brow. "You actually think you can pull that off?" 

"Watch me. I'm not even going to get screen time now so if I can swipe my file and make it look like I was never here; I will. I got a card, remember?" 

Billy rolled his eyes as you rummaged through your luggage for an outfit. You heard Billy lecturing Stu. "You fucking dingus, there's cameras! There's audition tapes. Photos. That file is just a tiny microscopic piece of information about you." 

Stu gave him a glare. "Yeah, yeah you're right! With Dennis Rafkin on it! If I can get that file then the audition tapes are just some guy. They won't have a name." 

You took your clothes and went to shower in the bathroom, still able to somewhat make out what they were saying. 

"Stu…The cops know your name!" 

"NOOOO, they just know Dennis…Right YN?!" 

You shouted back as you washed your face under the water. "I GUESS! I JUST HEARD THEM CALL YOU 'THAT DENNIS GUY THAT PLAYS STU MACHER'!"

" See? If I can snag that file; who's to say they'll have anything on me! Then when this is over, I can skip town if I want. And if I want to join again-" 

Billy scoffed. "Don't even. You would be a complete idiot to try and join in the limelight again after this." 

You dried off and started getting dressed. 

You heard them bickering back and forth before stepping out. This time in something you could run in. A simple jean, t shirt combo with your leather jacket from the night before. You saw them both stop to eye you as you tried getting ready. Forcing your boots on and finally putting your gun in its strap around your calf. The finishing touch was Sidney's 'good luck'  locket…You didn't know how lucky it was but you were alive this long while wearing it. 

"Alright. Let's go." You shook your keys as you crept out the door first, looking across the street and in the parking lot to make sure you weren't being watched. 

———————————————————–—

'Okay…Now or never.' You thought at all the bustling people as you slowly drove through the studio buildings alleyways. Your anxiety with crowds still existed, especially the loud noises and people bumping into you. It was so drastically different then your serene cabin in the woods with just you and Cherri. 'The sooner I get home to her and put all of this behind me, the better.'

You pulled in behind Dewey and Kincaid's car. Parking a few meters away to get some space. You rubbed your temple with a shaky sigh and hoped you parked close enough to the building that those two crawling up to the backseat and stepping out wouldn't be noticed. Considering a bunch of aliens walked by…You had a good feeling no one would notice two guys lurking around.

You left your doors unlocked as you stepped out. You watched Kincaid's partner get out of the car telling Mark something…You could have sworn it was something about flowers and candy?…You shook it off as you saw Dewey standing outside his car talking to Randy and Gale. 

You forced yourself to go to them. You had to get away from your car so no prying eyes would be on you or the Honda. You forced a smile that wavered when Randy avoided looking at you. 

Dewey pointed as he talked to Gale and Randy. "That stairwell over there is where the picture was taken." 

You came up to them looking yourself at an ordinary stairwell…Nothing special. But how and why would Maureen Prescott take photos here? You would have thought Sidney would have mentioned it if her Mom was in showbusiness. More importantly, why would the killer care about something from 25 years ago?

"Why does all this seem like such a secret?...It doesn't really make sense." You mumbled. You glanced over at Randy who looked away.

Dewey noticed and nudged him. 

Randy sighed heavily and motioned to the trailer. "It's part of the rules- All right, if we're gonna talk. Probably should do it someplace private." 

"Good idea." Gale stepped up to the empty trailer beside you guys and opened the door. Randy went in first, then you, then Dewey who seemed to scan the area one last time before shutting the door behind him. 

You all got comfortable in your seats. Randy checked his phone and rolled his eyes. "Jesus...No way." 

Dewey leaned forward in his seat. "What? The killer?" 

"No! Martha. She's called me like 50 times already." 

Gale blinked. "Who the hell is Martha?" 

" My little sister." He groaned. "I knew it was a mistake telling Mom what happened last night. I freaking knew she'd blab to everyone." 

You rolled your lips before speaking up. "You should call her soon, Ray. She's probably worried sick." 

He side eyed you but just released a puff of air past his lips and rested his elbows on his knees. "Okay…I think it's safe to say we have a Trilogy on our hands, people." 

Gale raised her arched brows at him. "...Really?... That's what we needed the film nerds expertise for? To tell us we have a killer on the loose?" 

You shot her a frown before looking back at Randy. Randy pointed at Gale. "Hey, you need my expertise." He looked at all of you. "At least we're all probably breaking the rules now. So it's all equal ground. It's actually a miracle I made it out in one piece the last time I broke a rule…" 

You all looked confused before Dewey asked. "What rules have you broken, Randy?" 

He looked to the floor and cleared his throat. "...Losing my virginity to Karen Kolchak. Probably not a good idea in hindsight…The other times don't even matter now. I mean, you did it once, you did it a dozen…Or…Two times. At least, with the cinematic horror rules." He rushed out under his breath.

Dewey had the same reaction you did years ago. "Karen Kolchak??" 

"Yes, Karen Kolchak." Randy grumbled while not looking at anyone.

Dewey looked at you with a scrunched face as you bit your lip to try to hide a grin. "Creepy Karen??" Dewey whispered. 

"Shut up!" Randy snapped at Dewey while Gale tried stifling a giggle in a chair across from you both. "She's a sweet person, okay? We were working late. We were putting some videos away in the porno section…And, you know…Shit happens!" 

Your lips rolled to hide the grin as you put your head down. Randy rolled his eyes at you. "Anyways, there's a reason I survived. It's to narrate these events. To be the one to warn everybody of the rules to survive this. To help some poor souls from getting mutilated." 

He looked at all of you intently, his hands moving in wild gestures as he spoke. "There are a few rules we all have to remember to survive this. If this is another sequel then the same rules apply." He held up a finger. "But, here's the critical thing; If you find yourself dealing with an unexpected back story and a preponderance of exposition, then the sequel rules do not apply. Because you're not dealing with a sequel, you are dealing with the concluding chapter of a trilogy." 

Gale shrugged. "What's the difference?" 

He dropped his hands in his lap and gave her a deathly serious stare. "...Huge. HUGE." 

You all shared a glance as he continued his rant, getting up to pace. You saw him rub at his upper thigh for a moment and you wondered if it was him needing to pace while he ranted or a way to stretch his scarred muscles as an excuse. 

"That's right, it's a rarity in the horror field but it does exist and is a force to be reckoned with. Because true trilogies are all about going back to the beginning and discovering something that wasn't true from the get go." His was animated as he spoke all while you watched him. Your mind racing at that inclination.

Dewey added in. "Like Maureen? Like something to do with her murder?" 

He grinned at Dewey. "Ahh you're catching on." He turned to you and him on the couch. Walking closer as his hands moved with every word. "Godfather, Jedi, they all revealed something that we thought was true but really wasn't!" 

Gale tilted her head. "Okay, so this has something to do with Maureen Prescott's murder. We get that." 

"Do you, Gale? Because how do we know it's just Maureen Prescott? How do we know?" 

Gale shrugged as you sat still and listened quietly. Randy sucked in a breath and held up a finger. "Here are the rules we have to establish if we're gonna live through this. One; we got a killer who is practically superhuman. Stabbing won't work, shooting him won't work. Basically, in the third one, you've gotta cryogenically freeze his head, decapitate him or blow him up." 

Dewey gave you a worried look as you glanced over at him too. 

Randy held up two fingers. "Number two, anyone including the main characters can die…" He faltered when you both locked eyes. You felt your brows raise as he hesitated but shook his head and gave you a sad look. "I'm sorry, YN. Even you. This thing could be fucking Resvior Dogs by time it's over. Even the Final Girl can be offed… Nancy Thompson, remember?" 

Gale whispered to Dewey. "Nancy Thompson?" 

Randy answered for him. "Nightmare on Elmstreet: Dream Warriors. A trilogy. Nancy Thompson was the original final girl from the first. She was up there with Laurie Strode and Sally Hardesty…She died. Fans were shocked, livid, scared! Because if she could die as the final girl; anyone can…That's not counting the deaths of other main characters that were later scrapped by sequels." 

Dewey sighed. "But we're in real life. We don't get redos." 

Randy tipped his head to him with a nod. 

You frowned, hugging your arms a bit and sat back in your seat. 

He raised three fingers. "Number three: The past will come back to bite you in the ass. Whatever you think you know about the past? Forget it! The past is not at rest!" He looked at you as you both locked eyes. "Any sins you think were committed in the past are about to break out and destroy you." 

He looked over at Gale but you still felt a shiver run down your spine. A queasy feeling in your gut at what he said…Why did he look at you while saying that?

Randy paused for a moment before continuing. "...So in closing, let me say…Goodluck and Godspeed because we're gonna need it." He glared at you. "It's why we need to be smart about this. We can't just go after the killer willy nilly because he will destroy us and send our bloody hearts through the mail to our Mothers for added measure." 

Dewey tsked. "Randy…Those are movies. YN said she wouldn't do it again…Right?" 

You nodded as Randy just sighed deeply and looked at you. "Well I hope so. Because if this is a trilogy and the rules apply…At least one of us isn't going to make it because something or somebody from our past is going to make sure of that." 

You bit your inner cheek. You shot up, the words coming from him had you ill. "I-I…I need some air. Talk without me."  You shakily muttered as you got out of the trailer. 

You practically raced down the trailer stairs and collapsed against the trailer. Your back pressed against it and your eyes closed as you leaned your head back. 

Unsurprisingly, the trailer opened to reveal Randy. He eyed you before stepping down and walking towards you. Limping a bit from the hard night before. "Hey, I didn't mean to…To worry you. I mean, we all are at equal risk. You could live and I could die for all we know!" 

"Don't say that!" You spat. He stared at you before you ran a hand down your face. "Randy…This is bad. This is worse than all the other times." 

"I mean, is it ever happy fun times having a masked killer after you?" 

He leaned next to you as you shook your head. His words just made your fear of Billy or Stu playing you and being you and your friends undoing heightened by what he said. 

"But what if you're right? What if one of us actually dies?" You paused before smacking your hand against the trailer, blinking furiously. "I'm so fucking sick of this!…Why us?! Why aren't we allowed to have normal lives? When is this shit gonna end?!" 

Randy opened his mouth and then closed it before shrugging deeply. "I…I don't know. Life sucks." 

"This is more than that, this is; 'we're all cursed or some shit'…Maybe I'm cursed?" 

"Why? Cotton was killed before you came here." 

"Yeah but it got worse once I arrived…Ray…I don't know if I can do this again." 

Randy hesitated before reaching out and gripping your hand in his. You looked over at him, long scratch on his cheek from last night and a busted lip. "Hey, if a cowardly spineless wimp like myself can do this; you can too…I need you to be strong. Because if you're not strong, how the fuck can I be?" 

"You'll manage. You are a lot stronger than you think, Ray. I mean, you told off Mrs.Loomis and survived a stabbing that should have killed you. Pretty badass…And you got the guns to prove it." 

He scoffed with a smirk and subconsciously looked at his bicep under his oversized button down shirt. "Yeaaahhh, I'd still rather have actual guns or some type of mega ray that obliterates on sight. Hell, I'll take a regular gun too even if it won't kill the killer. Maybe I can take out an eye before the terminator comes for us?" He pretended there was an imaginary gun in his hands as he sagged his features and put on a fake accent. "Hasta la vista, baby. PEEW." 

You couldn't help the chuckle that escaped you as you hung your head. He smiled at you with a nudge of his shoulder against yours. "Look, I just don't want you going off by yourself and trying to take down a killer. Please for my sake don't try to die a hero because you aren't saving yourself or others by dying in the woods all alone…You know you probably took 5 years off my life last night, right? I was so fucking frantic I almost went back in the house while Dewey and Gale held me back. Dewey wanted to go too but I think 'Gale'-" He rolled his eyes at the mention of her name. " Keeps him grounded. Thank god I didn't because Tom did and…Well…I don't think there's much left of Tom. But I seriously thought that was you in there till you helped me up. Don't ever do that to me again, not after all the shit we've been through…You can'tkeep fighting these bastards alone. I don't know why you think you have to be alone in life; you don't. " He softly scolded with a frown. 

You both stared at each other a moment before he reached out and you eagerly leaned in. Hugging him close with your hands clasped around his shoulders. 

"I'm sorry. " You wanted so badly to just tell him. While Billy and Stu were gone and you were sure this killer was bluffing about the cops; you wanted so badly to just say it. That even if Billy and Stu aren't the killers; neither are you. That you were being held hostage practically until this killer was taken down and then dealing with the aftermath. But then you remembered what the killer said on the phone…They were from Woodsboro, they knew too much about that night and…It hurt you but you couldn't risk it. 

You still told him even if he was the killer because if he wasn't then you still needed to just remind him. "I'm sorry, Ray…Love you, jerk." You whispered against his shoulder. 

You felt him sigh against you. "Love you too even though you're a major pain in the ass sometimes." 

You smirked and released him. 

The trailer opened as Gale and Dewey stepped out and you and Randy stepped away from each other. Gale talked as she walked past everybody. "I've got an idea, I'll hook up with you guys later." 

Dewey asked. "You want us to come with you?" 

She smiled over her shoulder. "I work better alone. Why don't you try to figure out where those pictures were taken?" Before walking away. 

Randy gave you both a shake of his head and you glanced over at Dewey. "I can see nothing's changed." 

Dewey scoffed with a shake of his head and a smirk. "No." 

You all started walking towards the stairs when Randy smacked his head. "Oh shit! I gotta go get something-" 

You threw out your arms. "What?!" 

"I have something in my work locker I forgot. I swear I'll be-" He stopped himself and gave a tight smile. "Just stay here." 

"Should I go with you?" Dewey asked. 

"No, YN needs all the protection she can get. Just stay here." With that, he jogged off. 

"Ray! I have another Detective watching me, let Dewey go!" 

Randy just waved over his shoulder, probably not even hearing you.

You groaned and ran your good hand begind your head. Dewey shrugged, his hands in his pockets. "Should we take a look?" 

"Yeah um…I need to use the bathroom really quickly though. I just need a breather." 

He nodded. "I'll stand watch." 

You nodded back, eyes darting to Kincaid's partner who stood a distance away. You went to the bathroom, looking under stalls to make sure you were alone and behind the door and then went to the sink. Running the water to splash some on your face with your unbandaged hand. You gripped the sink for a moment, mind racing.

Stu keeping numbers of your friends, Billy just showing up out of nowhere, you and Stu ending up at the exact shop Billy worked at in the exact town…Then what they said about Randy and Dewey being involved or even Gale. How this killer wanted to act like Sidney, how they knew too much from that night.

You lifted your good hand to see it shake before grasping it gently to your chest with your stitched up hand. Breathing in and out to calm your anxiety setting in. 

....

You jumped when you heard something in one of the bathroom stalls.

[amplifyme]

@tygertygerfoggybright I'm going to do some more cherry-picking and answer your latest ask here.

First of all, I love that your sister is a Father stan. And your running commentary with her, that you've transcribed for me, is priceless! 😁

More below the cut.

It's safe to say that her preferring Paracelsus over Gabriel is a majority opinion in the fandom. But I agree with your take a few weeks back that Paracelsus was more Father's nemesis rather than Vincent's, and was simply using V as a tool against him. But she's right about Gabriel being "a little man." And as soon as V was face to face with him, he knew it too.

I'm not insulted at all that she's not a V girlie. For some, he's an acquired taste, for others, they never get the appeal. That just leaves more for the rest of us to enjoy.

Vincent and Diana and baby Jacob were the PERFECT ENDING. She watched it twice herself. Jacob gives, and I quote, “PURPOSE TO [Vincent’s]LIFE”-- she loves those types of characters, or any kind of family or platonic relationship/bond. :DDDD 

Your sister is right. Jacob does give V a purpose to carry on. And the show was certainly laying the ground work for Diana to also become that for him.

I'm pretty sure we all started out as Cathy defenders - I certainly did. I didn't begin to question her choices and their impact on V's peace of mind until maybe a third of the way through S2. And that came as a result of many rewatches of certain episodes, when there was a little tickle in the back of my head telling me that all was not well and I needed to dig deeper.

Brb, we’re fighting over Paraclesus vs. Gabriel. Be right back. 

She conceded (volunteered) that Gabriel was “an interesting arc, though.” “Gave a lot of plot drama.” 

You two are cracking me up!

She made me die laughing suggesting he was Simba and John Pater was Uncle Scar (and though it’s not TECHNICALLY canon….)

🤣🤣🤣 Now I'm wondering if the folks at Disney did a bit of pilfering when working on The Lion King! This is perfect! 🤣🤣🤣

“Kick Joe” refers to every time someone came to him with info and tore it away or how he’s generally treated by everyone else around him, including life and us the audience.

Aw, poor Joe. He does get the short end of the stick a lot.

“I don’t think Vincent really has a raspy voice,” she interjects randomly, “I think he just sounds like what a lion would sound like.” I guess that’s a bad thing. “I LIKE HOW HE FLICKED HIS EYES,” she interjects again. I’ve been listening to her eye-flicking praise comments for days now. (“I’ve only said it three times,” she adds.) 

Gotta agree with her on all of this. Perlman based the raspiness of the voice he used on his belief that Vincent's "normal" voice would always sound like it was on the edge of a growl, and that's why he was so soft-spoken most of the time. Just another way to set the people around at ease. But you could certainly hear it when he was angry. There's a set of videos from a con back in the day that features a Q & A with Perlman, Roy Dotrice, and Jay Acovone that's just delightful. All three of these guys are a blast to listen to and watch. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you a link. Oh, and yes, V was an expert at the eye flick!

She’s curious if you’ve ever met the actors and what meeting them was like (she enjoyed reading-- on her own, mind-- about your talk with Roy); and if there were any fandom Winterfest stories you could relate?  

I was lucky enough to meet Perlman at the same con as I met Roy, but the encounter only lasted a minute or two. He was meeting up with some of the actors at the con and just happened to spot Roy at the table with Nan and myself and stopped by for a minute. Lovely, lovely man. And big. Both physically and personality-wise. In exchange for mine and Nan's promise to not tell anyone that we'd seen him (his con appearance that night was unannounced and a surprise to everyone but the cast and con organizers) I got a hug in return. Still makes me grin like an idiot thinking about it, and it takes a lot to frazzle me. I also had a chance to meet and speak to Jay, David Greenlee (a precious cinnamon roll), Eddie Albert Jr. (sooo handsome in person, a real delight), David Swartz (a coordinating producer on the show - funny guy) and a few of the recurring, unnamed tunnel dwellers.

Every con that took place over the years always started with a Friday evening banquet, and was considered our Winterfest. Once everyone was seated, the lights were turned off and the Winterfest recitation began. Of course each table was decorated with candles enough for everyone seated, and eventually all the candles were lit and our celebration would begin by candlelight and with the room lights dimmed. I'll never forgot the goosebumps I got when Roy stood at the head of the cast table and began, "The world above us is cold and gray, summer a distant memory. Our world, too, has known its winters, so each year we begin this feast in darkness, as our world began in darkness."

Once the yearly cons ended, Winterfest began to take place online.

Notes: Buster remembered being abandoned as a baby-- would baby Jacob remember being suffocated by Gabriel? And what trauma would that bring (or what trauma did Vincent and the bond prevent?)

No, I don't think Jacob would remember that. I have to believe that V only remembered his abandonment because of what he is. Not only because of whatever species or hybrid of human being he is, but because of his enormous empathic abilities, which I believe Jacob shares, but not to the extent of his father's. And I don't know that their bond would've prevented any trauma, but it would certainly have been dampened the moment Vincent lifted him from the cradle and held him.

Okay, enough for now. I have a fic to work on. Tell your sister I enjoyed "meeting" her! 😊

[re-bee-key]

I would like to talk about Brianna Ghey, but more broadly, i just want to vent about my frustrations with how some people are treating her death.

Specifically, the people saying she wasn't killed for being trans. #Trigger warnings for transphobia, death, racism, antisemitism, and other uncomfortable topics that are important to talk about right now.

Its hard to explain to people who really don't want to listen about the accelerating slippery slope of hate that is being experienced around the world.

What happened to Brianna Ghey is tragic. Its heartbreaking. It is not, however, surprising.

Brianna Ghey lived in the UK. And if you've been paying attention to any amount of trans issues you'd be aware that trans people are struggling for their lives in the UK.

In the UK and the USA and really all over the world, politicians and extremists are pushing to ban trans existance altogether. Bills and laws against where trans people can pee, how they present, if they can get surgery or transition, and in some places laws are made that attack how anyone presents - trans or cis.

And all this hateful rhetoric and change is being pushed under the guise of protection. Protection towards woman and children and society as a whole.

Which is sick and twisted and a heartbreaking world view to have on people just wanting to live their lives how they want to live them.

But this rhetoric riles people up. It sanctifies the hatred in their hearts. And pushes them to act.

Usually in harrassment and bullying. But as the pot begins to boil and tensions get even more strained, the wire snaps and someone gets murdered.

Cause thats what all this hate ultimately leads to. Death.

Hatred and fear of Muslims leads to immigration bans and then job loss and isolation and mosque burnings. Next people begin to fear anyone middle eastern. Anyone brown.

Hatred of gays and Jews and others led to the Holocaust.

Hatred of black people led to slavery and hangings and so so many other horrible things. And even when they fought for their rights, things have only incremently gotten better. The hatred still there. Still leading to inequality and death.

All of this to say, the progressive push against Trans people has reached exactly where it was going to reach with all this horrible shit going on.

I mean, fuck. Just the new stupid Hogwarts game coming out has increased anti trans hostility tenfold.

Trans people are at the forefront of any mention of Harry Potter and its making people mad. Those bubbling tensions are reaching the boiling point, and crazy awful people are taking action.

Brianna Ghey was a semi popular tiktoker and was open about her identity. She was bullied and harrassed on tiktok and at school. And its beyond frustrating that the police are denying this was a hate crime.

She was 16! In a park! Having a nice day and she was stabbed to death. Why would anyone do that? If not for the fanned flames of hate in their heart.

How can anyone deny what is happening?

How can people not care?

Trans lives are at risk. And honestly so is every minority at this point.

You have to push against hate for it to die. You have to keep speaking up. Keep standing side by side people who are different than you but need your support.

You cant just sit back in complacency and let bad things happen and pass you by because they dont affect you.

You gotta fuckin care about other people. This shouldn't be so hard!

Ive got a lot more i want to say but this is already so long and rambly. I just... Im so upset.

The world could be so different. We could all live alongside each other, different but embracing our differences. Sharing and exchanging culture. Progressing the arts and sciences and fixing the planet and pushing what it means to be human and our place in the world.

But instead, we are here. Sliding down the slippery slope. And its gonna take every single person who has the capacity for empathy and good to link arms and together pull ourselves back up to the top.

How bad can I be? - The Lorax (Movie)

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be?"

Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)

Propaganda and animatic links of the songs under the cut:

The other side - The Greatest Showman Musical

Propaganda:

uhhh i never watched the greatest showman but the song goes HARD and its cool as fuck to see how ppl portray these opposing tropes & characters in their animatics

Obnoxious as hell but without it weed be down so many homoerotically charged interactions. The enemies to lovers people would be quaking

it was so popular even i wanted to make an animatic of it 😭 (i never did cause i didn’t even have a stylus at the time but i think that was for the better)

Luz and Hunter. Grian and Mumbo / Etho and Bdubs. Hawks and Dabi. I'm sure I'm forgetting something

oh my god??? the homoerotism of trying to convince ur enemy to join ur side??? whats there not to love?

The only objectively good song in The Greatest Showman deserves some respect, god damn it. Also it's a very catchy way to show a character's betrayal/character changes in general.

The song just overall slaps and also it's great for showing characters having a conflict with one trying to convince the other to join the opposing side

its very character driven, so no wonder its very popular. almost every fandom ive been in has an animatic of this song.

Animatics with the song:

Creepypasta Marble Hornets

Karmaland

BNHA Villain Deku

The Owl House

The Promised Neverland

She-Ra

How bad can I be? - The Lorax (Movie)

Propaganda:

it’s an evil bop

I need everyone to go watch How Bad Can I Be? By Public Spam Account. The best animatic every, plus the song is perfect for any villain character and came from a movie deeply important to tumblr lore

...the only propaganda i have for this is the time two years ago when a zine team gave andrew francis like $50 to sing part of it in the voice of morro ninjago thanks to a joke about onceler morro. someone did animate it if that helps at all

Animatics with the song:

DSMP

Hermitcraft

Darkstalker Animatic

DeadCells The King Animatic

MBIT ENTJ Animatic

Baby Hotline - Jack Stauber

Propaganda:

jack stauber is iconic for his contributions to the youtube animation community already but baby hotline especially it makes me evil <4

Animatics with the song:

Chainsaw Man

Your Boyfriend

Welcome Home

The Mandela Catalogue

The Owl House

Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.

I just recently finished Mass Effect 3 and man, that ending doesn't hold up as good as I remember.

How would you do it?

It's never held up for me personally since the first time I played, the whole 'oh we installed a thing if they races ever figured out how to stop the reapers' thing has always annoyed. like why would the reapers/leviathan know about the catalyst enough they put a background software in and not just...destroy it entirely???

I think I'd have the whole catalyst thing be something that was just missing, not the citadel. just something that needed to be developed. like I like that it was something previous races had worked on before and sent forth to other races to finish in it's stead, that's a good idea! I really liked that!

so I'd keep that, sure have the reapers steal the citadel. maybe they actually do figure out what they need to make it work is on the citadel still, maybe it's even using the keepers to send the code since they have a direct link to the reapers and it's through one last meeting with all the races you've gathered you figure this out. one thing I think was missing was an end scene where you rally all the races to solution together. so the reapers have the citadel, you gotta get it, makes sense.

now shep getting there I think should be more like it was in mass effect andromeda: you see people you chose to help show up towards the end on the field. it's not just them listed as valuables to the project. have the fucking rachni queen if you sided with her take out a reaper in your way. have the kirahe show up again if he was saved to 'hold the line'. let us see emily wong ram her ship into a reaper cause oh boy that was a cool death that we only learned about through supplemental material. like give us the build up and let us see what our alliance can do. if you ended up getting help from the batarians after all then see them come in and get their own revenge for what happened to their system.

and if you chose to sacrifice alliances, to kill people, to turn your back on things that could have helped you then either a) the battle field is harder or b) the ending shows that. more people die in the end if you chose not to get the resources; more is lost to the galaxy. maybe even to some species shepard isn't the hero and they turn their back on a reformed council (which I would assume happens) at the end.

and of course let shep be happy with their LI. retire on rannoch with tali or train kids in the academy with jack or hunt down cerberus outposts with miranda or dedicate your time now to solving kepral's syndrome for thane. (of course in my au he actually doesn't die and you save the drells too and they're also in ME3). or maybe if shep doesn't get enough 'resources' or people to help out then they do die after all to make that sacrifice.

like in dragon age: origins the choices and alliances you made gave different outcomes as to who showed up in battle and what ending you got, just give us that but not just in text.

im NOT going to write this until I've finished my abo fic and the 60k fic BUT I need you all to know that there is an "eddie gets witsec'd and he and wayne move to a rundown farm in appalachia and eddie accidentally becomes a crazy chicken lady" fic that lives in my head rent free

his three favorite hens are his oldest ladies: gladiolus (lola), oleander (olly), and peppercorn (pepper). lola is boss hen and is a barred rock, olly is a blue easter egger, and pepper is a black sex link. He's got like 30 in total but those three are his oldest and wisest girls, he'd kill and die for them.

steve and eddie reconnect bc steve accidentally stumbles into eddie playing at a little hole-in-the-wall bar in the city near his house one summer and they talk at the bar and steve is like hey do you wanna grab a drink, catch up? And eddie's like uh sorry dude I gotta head back it's already 9:30 and I have to put the girls to bed, and steve's like dude wtf we leave you alone for six years and you've already procreated twice??? and eddie's like what no I'm talking about my chickens :) they're my ladies and I have to check on them. Fuckin raccoons got Geraldine three years back cause I ate space cake before dark and passed out without closing up the coop. This time of year the sun hasn't set by the time Wayne goes to work, so he can't close em up for me, and our neighbors got a dog I wouldn't trust to lick his own ass, like hell I'm risking leaving the door open.

Steve's like what the fuck are you talking about dude and Eddie sighs and is like do you have a place to stay? And Steve's like no I was gonna go grab a motel room after why and Eddie's like you can bunk with me, we've got a whole guest room, and you can meet the ladies. Steve is like okay I guess this is my life???

and they reconnect and steve ends up just not leaving for a week and he has to go back to Hawkins eventually but after a week or two of being back he's like fuck this I miss eddie and packs up all his shit and shows up at eddie's door like hey do you need a roommate? and eddie's like yeah of course :) and they make out like three days later and just never stop.

The Way Back - Winchester Brothers Imagine (Supernatural)

Title: The Way Back

Pairing: Winchester Brothers X Child!Reader (14)

Word Count: 1,512 words

Warning(s): coma, mentions of near-death experience

Summary: (Season 9, Episode 1) After attempting to slam the gates of hell shut, (Y/n) is left in a coma, now on the verge of death. Sam and Dean are desperate to save them, no matter what it may take.

Author's Note: Hey... been a while... sorry. I am in a Hannibal kick (gotta love hyperfixations), but I'm trying to even out the things that I write for.

MORE OF THIS OC HERE!

This is a direct follow-up to this imagine!

Hey! I did a rewrite of the ending of Supernatural. It took a really long time to complete, so it would mean a lot to me if you check it out. Here’s a link! (it’s on my personal account)

-----------------------------------

When I was 14, I managed to accidentally start the trials to close the gates of hell.

Over the next several weeks, I committed to the cause wholeheartedly. No matter how weak I got, no matter how hard the task was; I kept going.

However, I was stopped before I could complete the last trial. If I had finished it, I would've died. And even if I wanted to keep going, Sam and Dean would never have allowed it.

After I stopped the last trial, I fell unconscious.

Everything outside of my mind was a mystery after that.

I found myself in the backseat of the impala like nothing had happened. Sam and Dean were chatting in the front about the angels falling. How people were attempting to explain it as a meteor shower, despite the sheer number of angels that had fallen. At the time, I didn't even remember the event occurring.

"What do you mean the angels fell," I asked, causing Sam to turn around and Dean to glance at me.

Neither one of them responded to me. They looked at each other, clearly tense. There was clearly something that they weren't telling me.

"Guys," I pushed. "How did the angels fall?"

"It's... We have bigger problems right now," Dean explained.

"Bigger than the angels falling to Earth? That seems like a pretty big problem. We have to figure out where to start."

"We know," Sam spoke up.

"Then, what's the bigger problem?"

The pair looked at each other.

"Guys?"

"You," Dean said bluntly.

"Me?"

"Look, there's no easy way to say this, but something happened back there in the church," Dean continued. "And we don't know what. We don't know why. You're dying."

"Excuse me?"

"You're in a coma; we're in your head," Sam added. "You're not dead yet."

"We've jimmied ourselves out of the worse," Dean glanced at me. "We're gonna fight this. We've got a plan. You've just gotta hang on, got it?"

I blinked at him a few times before nodding. "Yeah, yeah. Okay. I've got it."

I didn't quite believe him. Being in a coma? Being aware that I was in a coma? It all seemed impossible. I was sure that if I was in a coma, I would've ended up in some dream state or just in my memories. Not aware and trying to get out.

"You don't believe us," Sam noted.

"Not really."

"We're in your head, kid," Dean said. "You are in a coma and are dying. All of this is you."

I sighed. "The whole reason that I stopped the trials was so I wouldn't die."

"And the next time we see... whoever is to blame for this, we'll get some justice," Sam promised.

"We just need to get you out," he added. "You can do this, kid."

"What's the plan," I asked.

"Working on it."

"'Working on it'? You just said you had a plan."

No one responded. I looked back and forth between the siblings.

"If you guys don't have a plan... and you're the ones that want me to fight to stay alive... am I even supposed to fight at all-"

I was cut off by Dean slamming on the brakes. All three of us stared forward. There were two figures in front of the car. I opened the door and got out of the car, ignoring Dean and Sam yelling at me to stop.

They followed me out as I walked forward.

"Holy crap," I heard Dean mutter.

"Mom, Dad," I asked.

"(Y/n)," my mom walked forward, pulling me into a hug. "It's been so long."

I wrapped my arms around her, my eyes screwing shut. I felt my dad wrap his arms around both of us. When I stepped back, he held the side of my face.

"Look at you," he muttered. "You've grown up."

"(Y/n), come here," Dean said. "They're... They're dead."

"This is (Y/n)'s mind," my dad replied. "We're just trying to lead them through it."

"You're gonna kill them-"

"They're already dying," my dad cut Sam off. "We're trying to bring them peace."

"They're our kid-"

"Because you let us die."

Dean took a deep breath.

"We're (Y/n)'s voice of reason," my mom stepped toward the boys. "All you two have done is drag them from one disaster to the next. And that's all you're going to do. Because you don't care as long as the case is solved. To hell with whoever gets hurt."

"We didn't want (Y/n) hunting," Dean stepped forward too. "But we didn't see another choice."

"And the trials-"

"Shut up! All of you," I snapped. "I... I need to think."

I turned around and started walking down the road.

My thoughts were going in a million different directions. I was going through so many different emotions. My brain was playing tricks on me.

My parents were right. Ever since I met the boys, it was one tragedy after the next. Nothing in my life was constant. I had to try and stay on my toes because I would die if I didn't.

But the boys were raising me. They were doing their best. They never wanted me hunting with them. They only agreed because I forced them to after Bobby died. I couldn't run from them.

"You've done more for this world than anyone should have to," I jumped when I heard my dad's voice. He was walking with me. "Hell, I was a hunter for far longer than you and you've got me beat. I never saw an angel or fought a Leviathan or tried to cure a demon."

I looked down at the ground.

"You've done enough, kid," he continued. "These boys... they try to protect you, but... you deserve peace. You deserve to be with your real family."

I stopped walking and looked up. My home. My old home. The childhood home. Where my parents died and where I met Sam and Dean. One story ends, another begins.

"I miss you guys," I muttered as I stared at the building. "So much."

"Then come back to us," he continued. "All you have to do is walk inside."

"(Y/n)..."

I looked over at Sam.

"Don't do this."

I closed my eyes. "Sam-"

"You've been through a lot, yes," he cut me off, "but you have helped so many people. And you've met so many amazing people. None of them want to see you gone."

I looked at him.

"Remember what I said... fixing things between us now. I'm here now. I... I'm not going to let you go."

"Let them be free of this," my mom appeared next to my dad. "They deserve a chance to be with their parents. Their real parents."

"Kid," Dean was standing in front of the house's front door. I looked around. Everyone else was gone. "You can't leave Sam and me alone. You know that. We'll end up killing each other before a monster can get us."

I chuckled.

"We love you, kid."

"I love you guys too," I mumbled.

"I found a plan," he continued. I furrowed my eyebrows. "It's real simple. But you can't shut me out, got it? You have to stay. Decide to stay."

I nodded. "What do I have to do?"

"Is that a yes," he asked.

I nodded again. "Yes."

Dean let out a sigh of relief before pulling me into a hug.

Before I could question anything, there was a gold glow surrounding us. I closed my eyes when it got too bright. I felt myself slipping out of consciousness again... or into it... I'm not quite sure what the right description of that would be.

When I came too, I was in the backseat of the impala. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, my world slowly coming back into focus.

"Guys," I shot up, looking into the front seat.

"Kid," Dean said. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I had a brick thrown at me."

Sam turned to face me. "You're okay?"

"I think so," I shrugged. "Umm... the angels falling. Was that real?"

"You remember that?"

"I... Kind of... I guess."

"What all do you remember," Dean asked.

"The thing I remember was Sam talking to me in the church," I said. "And then, it's all blank."

"But you're okay?"

"How long have I been out?"

"About a day," Dean said, looking at me through the rearview mirror.

"A day?!"

"It's alright," Sam turned around again, reaching over the seat to touch my arm. "Everything's alright."

"I will tell you one thing, kid," Dean spoke up again. "After everything that we just watched you do these last few weeks, you are far stronger than either of us."

"Bullshit," I muttered.

"Whatever you say, kid."

There was a tickle in the back of my mind. Something that wasn't right. I couldn't figure out what it was. I just knew it was there. I shook off the feeling. We had more important things to worry about.

I let out a breath. "So... now that I've had a day to rest... what's next?"

How do we know the steps to summon it but not what it is

Oh, I'm assuming then, the conversation between Eraqus and Xehanort, was about Ventus being a true light.

Kingdom Hearts is a factory reset? Or just a straight up purge?

Wow, so Odin knew something was up all along.

And we already know who the dark seeker is.

Whew young Eraqus was on some shit back in the day

[lunarflare64]

what music do you recommend?

That's a little difficult to answer. I like everything, but also I'm insanely picky, I hate music apps like Spotify because the algorithms can't understand me, and them getting it wrong makes me grumpy

But, inconsistent music taste aside, I do have more electronic stuff than anything else in my music hoard, and the one genre that has more hits than misses is electroswing, Jamie Berry for a lot of it, but plenty of other artists are in my collection too

I've been finding more and more artists I consistently like lately too, which has been nice. I like Billie Eilish a fair bit, as well as BoyWithUke, Alec Benjamin, T!LT, Mystery Skulls, Poor Man's Poison, Porcupine Tree, NEFFEX, Citizen Soldier, and NF, and FiASKO is the newest addition to the lot

The one artist I've liked the longest is actually SharaX, I've been a fan of hers since before she got into Undertale mixes. I remember waiting back in the day, during the prime of Undertale's popularity, wondering if SharaX would take a crack at the OST, and then the popularity started to die and I shrugged and moved on, and then BOOM, Undertale mixes for the next six years straight with no signs of stopping

I'm sorta in between songs right now, I have phases where a bunch of new songs are added to my hoard, and then phases where I'm not really vibing with anything specific, which can be a bummer, but I can list the songs from my last big phase! (I'd link them or a playlist but Tumblr has a limit on youtube links and I don't do public playlists. Don't like that shit. Hate it, in fact.)

(This'll be in order of when they were added so you can see when I started focusing on specific vibes at certain points)

Little Darkness - TuXe (Cult of the Lamb) (I wouldn't bother following this guy though, I ditched his channel because he sees no issue with playing and creating stuff for the Harry Potter game)

Yes I'm aware I could have bundled the FiASKO songs together, but you've gotta admit, seeing the list go ooooon like that is just fucking funny, you can SEE the way I lost my shit over them for a long period of time

#another thing i didnt have to do was copy the text quirk but i couldnt help it it was fun #even if it was a pain

Total Drama: Volcano Aftermath

Plot: After the TDWT finale, Alejandro is still healing from some of his more severe injuries in the hospital when Chris sends you in to make sure that he doesn't die. Once inside, you learn more about Alejandro. This takes place before Chris and Chef seal Alejandro in a robot suit.

Note: Got inspired while rewatching TDWT. Besides, Alejandro has always been a favorite character or mine next to Heather.

Word Count: 1441

💗Masterlist | WIP Page

"You're still here?"

"Gotta make sure that you're not dead."

"Why?"

"Because Chris assigned me to wa-"

"No, I mean why do you care?"

"Listen, we had our ups and downs, mostly when you fucking backstabbed and voted me off, but you don't deserve to die."

"Lair." Alejandro hissed, narrowing his eyes over at your form sitting in the seat next to his hospital bed. Well, the best that he could, being all scarred and burned. "Everyone hated me on that plane. Everyone."

"You want the truth?"

"Indulge me."

"No one else wanted to do this." You said, "I was the only one who volunteered to do it."

"Wow. My only visitor." Alejandro remarked dryly. "Should I kick you out now? Or....?"

"Someone's spent too much time around Noah on the plane." You commented, "Not that I'm not surprised. You two seemed to ha-"

"My family's not out there, are they?"

"-ve clicked......what?" You asked.

"My parents. My brothers. Anyone!" Alejandro glared over at you, anger seeping and soaking his every syllable. "Are. Any. Of. Them. Out. There."

Silence.

"That's what I thought. I mean, why would they want to visit their loser son in the hospital. I mean, besides to tell me what a disgrace I am." Looking closely enough, you noted how sad and tired his eyes were.

"Alej-"

"Don't," Alejandro whispered. "Just don't, (Y/N)." He sighed, closing his eyes. "It's true. You were there! You saw what happened!" You winced at his comment, thinking back to the volcano, which wouldn't stop replaying in your head. You could only imagine how it was for Alejandro or Heather.

You didn't know a lot about Alejandro's home life, except a few comments here and there that he made off-hand while stuck in loser class together. You didn't even know Alejandro had another brother until the finale when he went after Heather for calling him 'José'.

"Maybe you don't deserve them," You said, "You didn't win." You said, ignoring the angry and hurt look that flashed across his features. "But you played the game smartly, with enough strategy to triumph Heather and Courtney combined! If your family can't see that, then they weren't watching closely enough." You said, "Besides, you sound better than your brother anyway."

"Pfff. I didn't think that you cared." Alejandro scoffed.

"I never- I don't-" You sighed, "Listen, we were on Total Drama and as shitty as the things you did were. It was a game, people do crazy things for money. Plus, an experience like that bonds anyone, despite what the rest of the cast wants you to think." You added. "Alejandro, I don't hate you. Do I think you were a fucking dick for rallying everyone to vote me off? Yeah." You said, "But the game's over. Life moves on."

Silence. You're pretty sure that he wanted you to leave, having enough of a 'pity party' for one day, so you stood up from the visitor's chair near his hospital bed.

"I've been fighting for so long for their approval. I don't think that I'm ever going to get it." Alejandro whispered before you could go any further towards the door. And it was in this moment, that you've seen him the most vulnerable than ever. Even more than when he was confessing to Heather on the volcano. "I.... You..." He paused. You could see how hard he was thinking about his next words, which was very much unlike the charismatic and smooth Alejandro from the game. "I think that I didn't want to face their disapproval. I wanted them to finally see me and be proud of me. That's why I joined the fucking show in the first place."

"Well, I'm sure that the money was a pretty big turn on too." You smiled, catching a small smile spending across Alejandro's features. "I'm sure that the oh-so-great Alejandro will show them one day."

"Oh-so-great, huh?" Just like that the old Alejandro from the plane was back, smirking, flirting, and charming. "Didn't know that you felt that way, Princesa?"

"Just calling it like I see it." You laughed, "Besides, I thought you knew that practically everyone had a small thing for you at one point or another."

"Oh, I knew. I just chose to ignore most to save their dignity. Well, what they had left of it."

"How chivalrous of you."

"I'm sorry for how we left things though."

"Oh really?"

"Hm." He nodded. "After you were voted out, I lost that last real person I kind of tolerated on the plane, well besides..... y'know." Heather. You knew what he meant.

"So you're saying that you're sorry for voting me out?"

"Well, I would not go that far." Alejandro said, "Yes, I was lonely and such. But it had to be done. You would have done the same."

"Fair." You grinned. "Fair."

"So, no one's out there.....? Not even..... y'know."

Heather.

You weren't sure what to tell him. Or even what he wanted to hear. Heather was waiting out there with you for a bit, sitting silently, staring down at the floor. But she left about an hour before you entered Alejandro's room. You've never seen Heather so worried and nervous and silent before. Her normal plotting scowl and cold shoulder were gone, replaced with perpetual silence. Technically, she was there. But also technically, she left.

"(Y/N). Tell me. I want to know."

"She was." You breathed out before you had another moment to rethink your decision. "She left before I came into your room."

You couldn't decipher Alejandro's expression, unsure if telling him the truth was the right decision or not. Which made sense, Heather was a touchy subject with him before the finale, must be even more so now.

"That's pretty typical of her." He snorted, "She was always running away. Pushing."

"I mean, you did give her a good reason not to trust you....."

"WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!"

"No one's." You said, "I'm just here."

"Yeah, well, I think that maybe it is time for you to go." Alejandro blankly stated. Any and all hint of the joking, charming, and apologetic Alejandro was gone. Instead, you stared back at this cold, distant, and disconnected Alejandro.

"Alejan-"

"Get out."

"Fine." You stood up, keeping your eyes on Alejandro's form. You walked towards the door, pausing before reaching for the handle. "But, I'll be back." You said, refusing to turn around and see his expression. "Like I said before, an experience like Total Drama bonds people for life whether we like it or not." You said. "I don't hate you, Alejandro. I should. I fucking should, but I don't." You added, risking a glance back towards the burnt contestant and shuttered at the intense glare he was sending you.

"Out."

Nodding, you opened the door, slipping out of his room and back into the familiar waiting room, where Chris and Chef were sitting, filling out some paper work. You made your way over to the host, trying to sneak glances at the forms they were furiously filling out.

"What's all this?"

"Oh! You're back!" Chris said, shoving aside the papers to Chef, who grunted in response to the host's actions. "So, how's Al?"

"Alejandro is alright."

"Still kicking?"

"Kind of hard to kick with third degree burns and broken bones, but, yeah, he's breathing." You couldn't hide the disgust as Chris sighed happily.

"Awesome."

"So what time should I be back for the next 'Alejandro shift'?"

"Oh, never." Chris chuckled, "Chef and I got it covered."

Something about that statement didn't settle well with you. Maybe it was all of those days and nights being tortured by these two grown men, but alarms were ringing in your head, gluing you to the floor.

"No, really," you said, "I don't mind."

"And, like I said, Chef and I got it covered."

"I don't thi-"

"Listen (Y/N), we appreciate your help and all with this, but I think that you're needed elsewhere." Chris said, gesturing to Heather, who stood down that hall, the same worried and blank look over her features. "Better go run along."

"Wait." You said, as Chef got up from his seat, nudging/dragging you towards the hallway. "Fine. I'm going, I'm going."

You scowled, but ultimately left the waiting room, walking towards the hallway, where Heather was. With every step, the your gut twisted and sank further and further, feeling as though you had made a horrible mistake. Both with Alejandro and with leaving him in the 'care' of Chris and Chef.

Little did you know that that would be the last time you Alejandro in a while.

♡ xiao having a crush on reader

you've caught xiaos attention! how do you deal with a tsundere?! • xiao's a closed off person overall. • but when he met you? it was like an angry cat finally opening up to it's owner. • he had met you through lumine/aether, you and lumine/aether had great chemisty! so when you both went to wangshu inn and met xiao, his eyes first laid on you. • when he first looked at you, you was like a deity to him, your smile, the way the end of your eyes wrinkled when you smiled, they way your eyes glistened when the sun met your eyes, everything about you was magical. • xiao didnt talk to you at first, everytime you both made eye contact xiao was always the first one to quickly advert his eyes, making it look like he was looking at some painting on the wall. It was stupid yea but he couldn't control his heart okay? it was being so fast the adeptus thought he was going to die! • you thought xiao hated you, he always looked everywhere BUT you. whenever you tried to make a conversation he would always cut you off saying that he was "busy" or that he had to do some "adeptus business" • one day you confronted him about it, you just had enough. if he didnt like/want your company he should've said so. When you said everything his heart broke. • everytime you looked his way, when you smile and him, your voice. everything about you made his heart flutter and sometimes you cant event notice that the tips of his ear are flushed red. • you looked at xiao, pleading for some answer • when he answered you was in shock. • xiao answered all your questions, all of your concerns and why he never talked to you or was always "busy". • you was still mad at him but that feeling soon washed away as you understood what was happening. he liked you! • ofc u teased him about that but either than him say stuff like "no i dont. are you crazy?" or "lies." i think we all know what the answer is. • xiao will NEVER EVER tell you about his feelings, u gotta take one for the team reader. • either than that xiao is super protective over u! he is an adeptus afterall. • will always want to know your location(not in a weird way) just so he knows where you are. he'll also ask your to bring a friend to protect you or you can always call for him and he'll be there in a flash. • if u make almond tofu for him? he'll be red as hell. • look, he would NEVER give anyone his almond tofu. but for you? maybe just a bit. why you ask? it's just bc he's "not thattt hungry". • he gets rlly shy when you do "pda" stuff with him, hugging, holding his arms, linking pinkies, and many more. • if u hug him he'll try to pry u off but fails cuz he's weak from ur touch(ur hugging him what do u expect?) • cold to other people, but to u? u dont even need to ask if u want to go here or there. he'll 100% would say yes to U. • would go "that's silly." or "why do you want to go there?" but in the end he'll go with you. • he cant bear seeing you smiling at any other man that's not him, ofc u can smile at anyone! but sometimes he gets jealous.. • xiao is insecure, he thinks that he's not good enough for you so u have to remind him that he's everything you've ever needed, you might've meant that as platonic but to him, that was a bit of motivation. • if u like him back then bravo! xiao is now all red.

Reader's relationship with Baji

Summary: Continuation of Medic!Reader idea, but with my best boy: B A J I

Relationship: Mostly platonic, could be read as something more

Warnings: Slight mentions of math and homework.

Other Links: (Original Post) (Mikey) (Draken) (Emma) (Mitsuya)

Prepare for trouble...

And make it double!!

Because, let's be honest, Baji is a menace on his own

But

With your brain

and his brawns

You're an

u n s t o p p a b l e

f o r c e o f

p u r e

e v i l

At first, he's pretty sceptical about you joining because

look at the size of it

i could squish it

and it would die

But then you hold your ground in a fight

And prove that you're worth your metal

And his vicious mode turns into

p r o t e c m o d e

The entire gang is hell bent on protecting you

But when it comes down to it,

Baji is like your guard dog

You guys are like the vine that goes;

"gEt YoUr fUcKiNG dOG BITCH!!!" "it don't bite" "yES IT DO!!!"

Just

give me Protector Baji™ any day of the week my good friends

He’s a total dumbass but you love him so much

Would totally share his peyoung yakisoba with you and Chifuyu would tag along

There would be less for each individual, but with all the conversation and the laughter, it somehow took you guys so much longer to finish it

Now, as far as he's always been concerned, the only way to beat your enemies is with you fists

But then you introduce him to blackmailing and his eyes are officially

o p e n e d

With you now able to pick his battles for him, he is able to get the maximum degradation out of the punks that are foolish enough to stand against him

Would ask you to help study with him

Would try his absolute best

bless his heart (T-T)/<3

But he wouldn't be able to understand half of what you're saying

Would enthusiastically be like:

OH I THINK I'VE GOT IT NOW!!! :D

But wouldn't

And you've gotta be like

baby </3

hunny

yes i love you T-T

but no

And his face drops momentarily along with the shattered pieces of your heart

But then he gets right back into studying the question and trying to understand it

protect this large child at any costs

It's really good practice for you and when you become a doctor, because you have to be able to evaluate what it is your patient is feeling and understand it in smart doctor-terms, then you have to be able to dumb it down to a level that the patient will be able to understand

Luckily you're a quick learner and pick up on how to explain whatever it is that Baji doesn't understand in a way that he will

Be patient, he's really trying his best

It's something about the way that you remain calm and keep coming up with new ways to explain things to him which really helps him to keep a level head

He can get really stressed about his grades but your constantly calm and positive attitude really helps him out

You guys would totally end up having several study sessions a week and Chifuyu would be there to ofc

Absolutely a hype man

Will treat you like the deity that you are

You wanna go bash these dudes up

Where are my pom-poms I got cheering to do

You wanna go drown this dude

He's already standing at the beach waiting

You wanna stab this dude

Here's a freshly sharpened knife just give me a moment whilst I go grab my camera

You're a part of the LGBTQ+ community

Bitch wait a moment, I'm ironing my flag

You wanna join the BLM protest

Here's a plane ticket, let's go fuck up some Americans

Would totally let you braid his hair

LIVES for the feeling of your hands in his hair

Because you’ve always got to be gentle but fast with medical care, you’re incredibly skilled when it comes to intricate designs and threading

Comes out looking like he belongs on Hot Topic

Would beat up anyone who says it isn't cool

Wears that shit with style

After you braid his hair, you would warn him that he shouldn't leave his hair in like that overnight

Would leave it in anyway

You wake up the next morning to 1000+ messages from Baji frantically wondering why his hair is now wavy, with 35% of the messages being images of him doing his morning routine but with his hair curly (i.e. brushing teeth mirror photos, cooking breakfast, eating breakfast, shirtless, just got changed, etc.)

And you would yell at him over the phone about how you warned him not to wear it overnight

And he would yell back that you didn't tell him this was going to happen and that he thought you were joking

You both look like maniacs to the other people on the streets screeching into your phones about braids and hair - especially Baji

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!"

"NO YOU DIDN'T!"

"YES I DID!"

"WHEN?!"

"I SAID 'Make sure you don't leave that in over night Baji.' AND YOU SAID 'Sure thing y/n!"

"I REMEMBER THAT!"

"THAT'S BECAUSE IT HAPPENED!"

"YEAH, BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST JOKING!"

"WAS IT FUNNY?! WAS I LAUGHING?!"

"WELL IT ISN'T ANYMORE!"

Then Chifuyu, who's walking with Baji and sick of hearing you two yell would butt in,

"Guys,"

"WHAT!!" You both simultaneously yell.

"Sorry Chifuyu.." You quickly slip in afterwards and Baji mumbles an apology afterwards as well.

"It's fine, look, it doesn't matter who's fault it is, all we can do now is try to fix it."

You realise Chifuyu's right, so you ask Baji what he's done to try and fix the situation so far, figuring that you could bring a straightener or put it in a design or smth

"Oh, well I just finished brushing it, but that didn't seem to help."

"YOU BRUSHED IT!"

"THAT'S WHAT I SAID!"

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!"

"APPARENTLY!"

So that's how you ended up spending that morning

Needless to say, from that day forward, whenever you braided his hair, he made sure to take it out after only an hour each time just to make sure, even when you assured him it was fine

"That's how I ended up in the situation to begin with."

"HUH???"

Cue another argument

He's still salty and will never get over it

Would go shopping with you but totally end up getting you kicked out no matter where you go

You're lucky you haven't been arrested yet

The boys have decided to keep a running tally of the amount of times that you've had to fix them up

Baji is loosing

Or, as he likes to look at it, winning by a mile

He is currently the MOST frequent of your patients

Just, every other day he wanders in covered in some injury or another, sometimes leaning on or being dragged in by Chifuyu, but with the most shit eating grin on his face like,

"You will not be able to believe what I just did."

And you stand there like,

"Yeah, I think I can."

So he sits down and gives you the most animated story of your life about some dude that got on his bad side

Or a snake he thought would make a fun pet

Or that car that was just begging to be set on fire and you're like

"Huh, sue Baji. I'm sure that's exactly the correct way to approach that situation... moron."

And he's all enthusiastic about his story

Then you gently turn his face towards yours to begin patching him up and he is complete putty in your hands

just,

the gentle touches

the dabbing of the cleaning cloth

the way your face scrunches in concentration

the softly whispered words of comfort

the way you wince every time you slip the needle into his skin, as if you can feel the pain rather than him

how you always tell him what you're going to do before you do it, so that he's prepared, so that it doesn't hurt as bad

his energy slowly dies down until he has is eyelids half closed

world only filled with your careful touch

just- urgh

give this man some soft attention

he really needs it
