Why is my brain like this??
I still don't know more about Michael's backstory than when i last posted about him. I only know the basics of what happened. Also i've been on a short tma break for a few days now. I shouldn't even be thinking about this.
but out of the blue my brain went
OMG MICHAEL WAS LIED TO HE WAS TRICKED AND BETRAYED AND THEN HE BECAME THE INCARNATION OF LIES AND TRICKS AND MESSING WITH YOUR MIND

need me someone to do a haikaveh animatic of them w/the song lemon boy. i swear it fits them so much… i have my own interpretation of it below the cut !! (it's a bit long but bear w me.. tldr if u dont wanna read it: i think lemon boy nicely fits hkvh's progression in their relationship from their academia days to current times + they kiss at the end as a treat)
verse 1: There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy" / He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed
alhaitham thru kaveh's eyes, hkvh meeting at the academia (alhaitham is lemon boy), start of arguments
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again / So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
recurrent arguments+debates, slowly become friends
chorus: Lemon Boy and me started to get along together / I helped him plant his seeds / And we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
start hanging out/studying tgt !!
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him / So, I got myself a citrus friend
become real friends / lowkey crushing?
verse 2: But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me / You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
some more scenes of younger hkvh hanging out tgt :3 imagine what u want
I found out that my friends are more of the savory type / And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
kaveh talking to some ppl who don't like alhaitham, argues w them (in alhaitham's favour) n leaves (maybe w alhaitham eavesdropping? lol)
chorus: So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together / I helped him plant his seeds / And we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
hkvh CUTE/fluff scenes working on the infamous project tgt
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him / So, I got myself a citrus friend
maybe some more obvious crushing here idk.. i just love to think of them pining but not saying anything in their academia days... 
bridge: But what if I run out of fertilizer? / What if the clouds run out of rain? / What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer? / What if beaches dry of sugar cane? / Oh well
/the/ fight. kaveh leaves. they grow apart, the years passing by. alhaitham finds kaveh drunk at the bar.
The whales start to beach themselves / Tortoise shells tear away from their spines / It happens all the time, it happens all the time
after listening to his ex-friend woes, alhaitham takes his jacket, puts it over kaveh's shoulder, and brings him back to his home, offering him a second key to the house in the morning
pre-chorus: Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever / Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
kaveh slowly getting settled in his new home w/alhaitham <3 
chorus: Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever / Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever / It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
them slowing hanging out tgt again, bickering w each other, little fond alhaitham moment w a small smile when he looks at kaveh arguing w him
outro: 'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town / Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around / And I got myself a citrus friend
alhaitham slowly approaches kaveh while he's complaining and kisses him to shut him up (heheheh) on the last line and it ends w kaveh being flustered but bringing alhaitham in for another kiss
OKAY IM DONE... hope someone read until the end if u did ily

Hey there! It's always fun to see people engaging in creative and fun things in their spare time. Enjoy your spring break! <3 I would like to request a match-up, if that is alright. I identify as she/her and am heterosexual. My personality type is ISFP, and I love performing arts! I have done both backstage and on-stage work as a theater girly, performing in musicals, more specifically, is my specialty. I love the thrill of being on stage, knowing I am bringing joy to people just by being entertaining. Singing, acting, and dancing are my bread and butter. I also like writing poetry and my own music. I play multiple instruments and like experimenting with new ones,DJ boards are fun too, and I recently got into that technology. I love classic literature. I am also the kind of person to dress up, even for video conferences, lol. If I had a demon form, it would probably be very pale, shoulder-length dark wavy hair, kinda big head with eyes that resemble cds if you actually look for too long, and generally is kinda on the short side in comparison to others, long black nails that she keeps in stiletto style, likes to wear purple and blue dress clothes a lot, and possibly have bunny ears too that she tucks into her hair since they are floppy. I just came up with that off the top of my head for giggles since why not. I can't really think of anything else to throw out there, take care, and have a fantastic evening/morning/afternoon/night! <3
Your Matchup is....
Vox!
Tumblr media
Hear me out hear me out hear me out! I paired you two up because of the ability to be personable! Lemme me elaborate:
I won't lie: I have no clue how anyone would meet Vox! It can go so many ways! But I think you being someone who just makes music videos on social media (think of tiktok) for fun and you were gaining a lot of traction! Maybe you also were working for someone to run their social media PR
I'm not too sure but I am one hundred percent settled on it being you having gained his attention through social media
now that seems like Velvette's area, right? Yes, but I think Vox has a say in that department as well because come on? He has to at least have some voice in the PR of VoxTech
Anyways: let's say that Velvette suggested you as someone to join the PR team for the V's because their last one got themselves murked in the most recent extermination
Vox didn't care really until you showed up to get a video approved (that you happily voiced and created)
he didn't want to seem too interested but he liked that you had the personality that drew people in and kept them smiling and entertained
so of course he exploited that... at least in the beginning.
he kept you WORKING until you complained and said something which was a little dispute but y'all worked out a schedule
this was the slowest of burns because the man will not admit his feelings for the love of god
most likely you having to come and call him out on his behavior because the constant stalking and assignments just to see you was getting annoying
once y'all are together it's of course not all sunshine
he is constantly bitching about Valentino or Alastor or even his consumers and employees (just a whiner honestly) but you offer occasionally advice or just listen so he has a place to vent
he is of course going to make sure you have everything up to date! and you'll probably be the safest because he knows where you are
you probably avoid trying to use his money, but wow there is suddenly a VoxTech theatre??? That is so crazy and oh my gosh what is that?? You're in charge of it all and get to manage it and do whatever!!
it may sound like a weird match, but please see the vision, I see it.
"Hello, my dear-"
"Vox, you know I absolutely love your technology, obviously, but..." You frowned as you stood on the ladder fiddling with one of the many cameras in the theatre hall.
"But what?" He frowned as he watched you through the camera, "The cameras help with people being disruptive or just in general being a bad audience-"
"Yeah, but they glow. They ruin the ambiance."
"So?"
"Soooo they ruin the fact that the theatre is supposed to be completely dark so you can watch the show."
"... I suppose I could find a new solution."
"You better or I'm finding a way to take these all out myself."

Men of the Harem is now officially COMPLETED!
Happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time...
Tumblr media
But, my dear Tumblr readers, this is more miserable than it is magical sorry your girl's a swiftie. The number of questions left flying in the air is suffocating, scandalous. And, please, believe me when I say this: I'm completely, entirely, totally aware that MOTH lasted longer than most of us expected. However, ever since the main story ended I felt something was off. And let me tell you... I don't think it has anything to do with Naver pushing the novel to an end nor the author getting tired of it.
Anyways, let me share some of the highlights and curiosities of the last chapter.
We still don't know the name of two of Latil's children.
That's right. Tasir's son and Meradim's daughter were always named as "Fourth Prince" and "Fifth Princess" respectively. Funny thing is, they've been mentioned many times, even in the last chapters. Was it that difficult to reveal their names? Maybe! Unless... they play an important role in Alphatart's next work? Latil did mention once she thought it'd be romantic if her son and Meradim's daughter fall in love in the future. Who knows?
We never got to meet Guesta's child.
This might be one of the most disappointing things for fans. You know Guesta isn't exactly my favourite, but if she wanted to rush things up, why wasting time showing Sonnaught's fake future and not showing Guesta's baby? Not trying to shade the Three Nuts, but a fake future is definitely less relevant than this, he wouldn't be the only one to not get one... I actually have a theory for this, but I will first wait to see if there are any news today.
Guesta's baby will have three official fathers.
Guesta is obviously the biological father of the baby, but Zaicin and Klein will also be in charge of the kid. Can we really believe that Guesta would accept this so easily? Not a chance.
Latil will not choose a heir now.
She says she doesn't need to choose one because she'll live longer than the ministers anyway... Yeah, sure, Latil, but Tasir and your kids won't Another odd thing is that they delayed this arc for so long, only to never choose anyone and for her to say something we know since 2003. Sus.
The chapter ended with Latil and Tasir holding hands.
Listen, I'll take that LOL. No, but seriously, I found it somewhat sus that, when the main story ended, all the consorts were gathered next to Latil, and this time we don't know where everyone else is, and only Tasir is next to her.
Tumblr media
All right, I'll save some of my thoughts, theories, and expectations for the next days. However, I do wanna point out something that's key to me in this case: a novel can be finished, even when the story isn't. I find it very hard to believe that Alphatart would, not only not close very critical stuff in the main story, but also add new ones in the extras just to leave them unfinished. Why would someone who's rushing a story add new dramas two chapters before the ending? Maybe I'm wrong, this wouldn't be the first time I am, but isn't it indeed counterintuitive and sus?

Hey I heard you write dark themes so I was wondering if you could write what would the Greasers (Tim & Curly too) be if they found out there partner used to/still SH. You don't have to and that's completely fine I just never seen one and I think that's a topic I would like to see someone else's opinion on. :)
No problem at all :) I too want some darker themes in the fandom lol
ALSO to anyone struggling with this; You aren't alone <3 as someone that has too struggled with sh, you're more than welcome here.
Ahhh- why is Tim's so much longer than everyone else's 😭🙏 anyways normal headcannons might not be as long as this fie the characters, but I do feel strongly about mental health and stuff like this, so that's why there's kinda more detail than just a bullet pointed list.
Trigger Warning: S3lf harm/ scãrring.
Tumblr media
TIM SHEPARD
Well, starting off, I feel like Tim would be the best with finding out out of all of the boys? Would he be slightly upset though? Absolutely.
If you watch the series you'll see that though Tim can be a royal asshole and kinda cocky, he actually is pretty wise and cares about others. When finding out his s/o self harmed, however, I feel like he'd be kinda quiet.
The night could be going by like normal, he and Curly fight a bit, s/o is helping do dishes after their crappy "family dinner". S/o's sleeves get pushed a little too far up while rinsing off some dishes, or maybe he's visiting you at work and he sees the pant leg of your pants move up a little too far while you're rushing to grab something from the other side of the building. Whatever it is, he won't immediately say anything.
I feel Tim will let it fester. Not enough to where he's avoiding it, but kinda like- if he sees it once, he wants to try and see it again, or mention it to see how you'd react before outright asking you. Remember, Tim isn't the softest guy either, but he's trying.
When asking you about it, it's probably at night. Curly and Angela are either out at a friend's or in their own rooms and you and Tim are probably on the couch for your sacred nightly cuddle session. His arm is around your shoulders and suddenly he couldn't care less about the stupid black and white tv.
"Listen, babydoll." he'd start, shifting so your bodies were facing each other and you were looking at him instead of the screen.
"I don't cry. Haven't since I was real young. I don't cry but I found other ways to cope with when times are hard. There's a difference between good and bad coping though, you got that?" He'd ask you, his thumb gently rubbing over your knuckles, something he'd rarely do, but nevertheless it was comforting.
"I know that line can be blurry sometimes, but you're not alone, yeah?" He never outright told you how he knew, or outright asked you to stop, but even if Tim's a cocky asshole, he's very attentive to his s/o. If something seems remotely wrong or if he sees any new marks he's sure to give his partner his own way of comforting them.
Tumblr media
Curly Shepard
Ahhhh Curly. He's so alike Tim, and yet so different at the same time. Where Tim doesn't outright confront you and casually just tells you that he's there, Curly is not as shy about it.
Honestly, I could see his dumbass being like "Hey, where'd you get those cool scars, baby?" And just cue him waiting for some entertaining story while you facepalm.
Though, yes, he most definitely would say something dumb like that, he's also not entirely oblivious. If your scars were in a mess common area or weren't somehow a pattern, he'd ask where they came from, but if for example you had a row of scars on your wrist or arms, and it was much more obvious than the sneaky ones, he's would catch on.
Unlike his brother, Curly would probably grab your wrist the first time he saw them. Grab your arm, rug your sleeve up and clench his jaw as he tried to find the right words. He's pissed. Not at you, but who or whatever made you feel like you had to do this. He'll curse a few times and probably ask you who made you do it. He'd be an angry little whiney boy for a while but after cooling off he'd probably coddle you. Cuddles and soft affirmations, hair stroking and the softest neck and shoulder kisses you've ever felt.
Despite wanting to look just as tough and badass as his brother and Dally, I could also see him as the type of person to ask if he can doodle over the scars. Cute little pastime of his, as also his way to show you that even if you have scars, he still finds them valuable.
If you or anyone mentions it though, he'll throw a huge fit. 🙄
Tumblr media
Darry Curtis
HA. You think he's not going to yell at you? Oh no, sweetie, he's yelling. He may not yell at you as much as he does the boys, but he's yelling. The moment there's tears though, he's tearing himself apart.
It truly is out of concern though. This dude has lost so much already and is constantly reminded that he could lose his brothers at any moment if one of them does something too reckless, but now add into the mix you? It breaks Darry's heart. He can't stand the thought of losing you, and ESPECIALLY doesnt want to imagine what happened to make you so sad that you'd turn to a blade, or to whatever you used.
His strong hands would no longer gently rub your sides anymore while cuddling in his chair, but rather, they'd trace over your scars mindlessly as he read the paper. After the yelling, he'd basically get down into his knees for you to not harm yourself anymore. He's apologizing profusely for his volume and harshness, but at the same time he's hoping you understood just how important the topic was to him while doing so.
He's not the best with emotions. Much better at them then Tim or Dallas, but he's more awkward with them. He'll hold you if you cry though, and will make sure to check up on you much more often. Expect more late night sentimental chats and slow dancing to Elvis while everyone else is sleeping.
Tumblr media
Sodapop Curtis.
Well...Soda is pretty good at keeping his real emotions hidden. He's the happiest greaser on the surface but in actuality he's hurting just as much as anyone else. He's no stranger to self punishment. He doesn't self harm, but he's familiar with the concept and would sometimes sabotage his relationship with girls for the sake of him not feeling good enough.
Like I said, Soda doesn't self harm physically, but he's familiar with the concept. That being said, I feel he'd be pretty upfront and open about it. He's a sensitive guy and of course he'd shed a few tears, because let's face it, he's terrified once he finds out, but he's one of the best ones in the group for a self harming s/o.
He won't make them talk about it, but he will. It could be a late night drive, or even a sleepover where Pony took the couch so s/o could sleep with loverboy. He'd graze his lips against s/o's ear as he whispered sweet nothings and would tell them stories about how he would sabotage himself for the hell of it sometimes. He'd kiss their knuckles and try not to cry as they tell them that they don't have to be alone. Hell, ESPECIALLY if s/o is the type of self harmer that's usually pretty happy on the outside.
"Angel, I don't want you to harm your beautiful skin like this, okay? If you feel the urge to hurt something take it out on me, okay? I can take it for you." You'd probably never harm Soda in any shape or form, but he still offers it because he's trying. Not always the brightest, but he's trying for you <3
Tumblr media
Ponyboy Curtis.
I'm not even saying this to be funny, but I genuinely feel like his next creative writing assignment will be based on it. PoneMcbone here will write this beautiful little short story with just enough of a dark undertone that gets him an A, and also helps him cope with finding out.
It's cannon that writing comes naturally to Pony, and it's his escape. Once he finds out that you've self harmed, he's not sure how exactly to react. In fact, you'll probably have to mention it a few times to get a real serious talk out of him. That's not to say he doesn't care, but he's just not used to the idea. He cares, he really does, but he can be slightly insensitive.
"Why would you do it if it hurts?" Gee, thanks Pony. Great with words. Uh, yeah, he'll be a bit blunt, but he'll probably ask you some questions about it. I feel like he'd be much more interested in trying to figure out the psychology behind it and how it helps you, but in the end if it was a big problem or if he ever found new scars, he'd probably write little compliments over them. Also, with how strangely pretty his handwriting is, you've thought about getting some tattooed over the scars.
Perfect little snippets of poetry on your scars, reminding you that no matter the scar or the history that you're still beautiful and Ponyboy still loves you.
He probably reads you some of his stories while you lay with each other and makes a specific one for days particularly bad for you. Has all of this cool symbolism and shit and it's just so wholesome despite him being horrible at outright comforting you.
Tumblr media
Steve Randle
I'm going to be so deadass right now, I kinda wanted to skip Steve. I feel like I just can't grasp his personality down enough. Like, watching the series has made me better understand these characters so much better, but I feel like Steve is one of the most... misunderstood characters? That doesn't seem like the right word but we'll go with it.
I feel like Steve would be a bit pissed off about it. He wouldn't yell, but he'd be slightly passive aggressive. He's kinda an angry dude however, the series portrays him to be more so protective and slightly territorial??? Like- I think if he saw or found out you self harmed he'd almost treat it like you're sick. Like you aren't allowed to clean or work too hard after he finds out or he's kinda pissy. He's definitely to type to rub lotion into your scars though as a way of helping you "heal". Probably is one of the very few that takes the time to research how to help. And like hell is he asking Ponyboy. Ponyboy doesn't know shit anyways-
If your friends knew I think it'd be a bit iffy with that too. If your friends made a comment about the scars or a joke he didn't find funny, you'd probably have to distract him or make it clear that you didn't mind. He's probably the most likely to carry you though as a form of comfort. Like, carrying you like a baby and rocking type shit. Might be embarrassing if anyone walked in, but low-key I feel like he'd be pretty good at that shit 👍
Tumblr media
Two-bit Matthews
Similar to Sodapop, Two also wears a metaphorical mask. Although he's the funniest in the group and never turns down a good time, he knows the hurt. Twobit himself self harms similar to Sodapop. It's a more emotional harming than physical. He would screw something up just for some shits and giggles to make jokes and would drink away his feelings.
Honestly, I could see Two offering you some drinks instead of harming. It probably wouldn't help much and may even create an alcoholic, but he's trying. No, he's not shitfaced all the time, but he does rely on a decent buzz somedays. If he found out while he wasn't completely sober he'd probably not take it as seriously. Twobit is Twobit. He'd probably make some jokes that may be slightly insensitive but that's more so to keep himself from being upset by finding out. If he's sober however, and he finds out, he's much more gentle about it. He may still make a joke here and there while he closely examines some of your scars, but it's more so little encouraging quips and little sympathy jokes to try and get you to smile for him.
He doesn't want to see you sad, as what keeps him going is your laughter and encouragement, so if he sees you down he's definitely a bit rocky himself.
Overall, i feel like he'd try not to mention it a whole lot. If you needed it, he'd be there for comfort, but he wouldn't usually be the first to mention it. Jokes are another coping method for him most definitely, but he'd only ever joke about self harm if you did it first. Kind of his way of being reassured that it's not a sensitive topic and he's able to make light of it.
Tumblr media
Dallas Winston
"Don't be like me, doll. You knock this shit off before it eats at you and you aren't able to walk away alive." As tough as Dally is, he's kinda emo. (I'm so sorry-)
Dally's been around. He's seen shit, he's done shit, he's been through hell and back basically. He pretends he doesn't care, but in reality he's still a hurting little boy that needs a home. When he sees the scars it's almost an immediate game changer. He somehow feels more connected to you? That's not to say go hurt yourself to get closer to him emotionally, but in a strange way it somehow comforts him too. He's not alone and you understand.
You two comfort each other. Dally's self harmed like any other and tried almost everything in the book. The moment he sees you scars though, he seems pissed. Lights a cigarette and blows the smoke in your face to purposely annoy you while he tries to calm down. He doesn't want to yell or scare you, that's not what you need, but Dally hated being sentimental and was absolutely shit at speaking about his feelings. After he smoked his stick though, he would force you to look at him by grabbing your chin.
"I'm only saying this once so pay close attention." He'd start, flicking his cigarette off to the side, "You want something to hurt, hurt me. I can take it. But if I ever catch you hurting yourself again, I'll kill you, you got that, doll?" Unlike Soda's attempt to make you feel better, Dally actually means that. He truly would rather you hurt him than yourself, but perhaps that's how you both begin to heal together.
Tumblr media
Johnny Cade
You're sitting in the lot, hand in hand, looking at the stars. Johnny's jean jacket hung around your shoulders and you guys are talking quietly amongst yourselves. What's being said? Johnny trying not to cry and telling you he understands.
Johnny doesn't want you to self harm. No way in hell does he want that, but he's actually one of the few boys that won't ask you to stop. Rather than begging for you to stop he just hugs you and tells you he gets it. And he does. He's not as big on self harm as Dallas, but he has thought about suicide before. He's no stranger to it and makes it known that he's got you. Does he cry? A little, yeah. He cares a lot about you, but he has full faith that you'll be okay.
He'll probably ask Dally about it to be honest. Being close with Dally means Johnny knows about his issues, and who better to ask for advice than from someone who's went through it all? Dally, though not the best help, does give Johnny a few good ideas for some alternatives. Johnny would be the one to give you rubber bands for snapping on your wrist only to kiss the same spots you snap whenever you're sharing cute little moments together. He knows that it's hard to stop coping with hard things once you find a method you like to use, but he's all for trying to shift you to a healthier one.
In all, Johnny is probably the most patient one. He and Tim are only ones that are comforting and yet calm about it. They know it may take time to get out of bad habits, but they're there for it every step of the way. Unlike Tim though, Johnny is much better at talking about it and much prefers you venting at him about your issues and feelings than harming.

Twitter is trying to cancel SnC yet again I see.
If I were SnC I would literally just delete all my twitter profiles except for their channels twitter which I'd then use ONLY for promoting when new videos drop. Just so the twitter fans can learn that they aren't as important as they seem to think they are because those boys are nearly at 12 million subscribers on youtube, twitter is but a mere handful of that subscriber count so it really wouldn't matter if they all decided to stop watching.
(plus the video they're all angry at is actually performing very well, it's already at 2M views on just day 2 of releasing. This suggests a lot of the fandom may not share twitters opinions...)
i don't see snc deleting their twitters, but i do see them continuing to not use them and just letting them sit dormant bc that side of the fandom is too dramatic.
i've said my peace on this 100 times over, but i don't mind saying it again bc it keeps happening and no one over there is getting it lol
not that i'm telling them either since most of them i have blocked or they have me blocked lmao
that side of the fandom has cried wolf one too many times and now expects snc to still listen to them. and look, back in 2020/21, maybe that would have happened. bc twitter held a lot more stock back then. but not anymore. they thought they could call out snc for every little thing and expect them to always listen and for all of the fandom to agree. and reality is that just won't fly anymore.
were there genuine reasons to call them out before in the past (and even now)? sure. i'm not here to argue that. but what i am saying is once everyone jumped over the line in the sand and started getting mean and calling them out for nonsense things, idk what you expected to happen.
it's one thing to complain about content and what's going on in it or that it's taking too long to get new content out. it's another thing to bitch about their gfs and say they shouldn't date them, or in general to bring up personal shit.
where our input starts and ends is content related, and that's it. anyone that thinks they have a say in what snc do in their own personal lives are delulu. it doesn't matter if you believe you have their best interest in mind, your input is unwanted. that's just reality.
also i think a lot of ppl on twitter think they speak for everyone in the fandom but they fail to realize that this fandom has 12 mil ppl in it (roughly). even if one of the louder fans on there has a 1000 followers, that's not even 1% of the entire fandom. that's not even .01%. that's how little the amount of ppl you speak for.
my thing is, all of this complaining and drama started in january, around colby's bday, when the pics of them with the girls leaked. and since then, this fandom and that side in particular hasn't shut up since. and look, obviously not everything is about the girls and not everyone is even complaining about the girls. i'm not trying to cast wide nets here and assume. but… be honest: yall have been complaining for WEEKS about a variety of things, ranging from them having gfs that might be clout chasers to snc not talking about a genocide, and somehow…….. i'm supposed to take any of that seriously??? snc are supposed to take that seriously??? those are two VERY different things, no?
but hey, you wanna be upset at snc for whatever reason, be my guest. i'm not here to stop you. do whatever you want. but at what point do you just accept that snc aren't gonna meet your demands and thus your only option is to leave?? just curious. and are you okay with the fact that just bc you leave doesn't mean anyone is gonna miss you, including snc? harsh reality is snc don't know who you are, and that's not bc you don't deserve to be known - they just realistically don't know you, and you leaving isn't gonna do anything.
but if you aren't enjoying your time here, leave. it's better in the long run to pay attention to something that actually brings you happiness rather than stick around and be miserable.

(27) "They say we wont last." "Then lets prove them wrong."
(I combined this with [ EASE ] — sender encourages receiver's legs open after asking @hookedtheghoul chose a number for me lol, THEY ARE THE ONES ON TV NOW SORRY THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE TO FIND A NEW HYPERFIXATION TO FILL THE DEAD TIME)
There's a week until Double or Nothing, and time itself, a slippery concept, could go either way. The days leading up to the PPV are both infinite and marginal, a lifetime and a single exhale all at once. Having an expiration date makes him anxious. Staring down at the future makes him apprehensive. And listening to MJF spout his bullshit—that constant fucking bullshit—makes him furious.
It's the fury that really works, bottled up and ignited as a fuel source. He's leaning on that a lot more than he should be, because it's easier. The other shit? It's garbage. It's all garbage, and MJF is standing in the middle of it with a crown crowing about how great he looks.
He should be happy they even got into the PPV, given how hard MJF fought to keep them out. He probably should be grateful for Sammy, for intervening when he did, except that's a lost cause; Sammy's a dick whose tongue needs to get stapled to the roof of his mouth so it might stay in place for once. Sammy's dumb enough to have played right into MJF's hands, ready to take the fall for the man's oversized ego.
MJF had sought him out, backstage, after the three of them had forged their tenuous and unlikely alliance out in the ring. Darby doesn't know why he was the last to get the proposition, why he was the last option that MJF aimed for. But the man had grabbed Darby's chin and leaned close, smarmy and horrible, and whispered, "Do you believe he'll still think you're worth anything when he figures out what you really are inside?"
Darby hates MJF. And he hates Sammy. And on some days—many days—he hates himself. But fuck if he isn't having the hardest god damn time hating Jack Perry.
Jack's a trusting idiot. He's good to a fault, a nice person all the way down to the marrow of his bones that will assuredly get splintered when someone who isn't comes along. He's walking head-first, chin up into his own destruction, and the thing is, he could get there so much easier if he'd just take the easy road. Jack won't. Jack never will, because it's just not who he is. And Darby wants to destroy it, wants to rip the do-gooder attitude apart with his teeth just to watch it bleed.
MJF was right, and Darby hates that most of all. Because Jack is going to figure out all the blackened parts that make up Darby's soul, and he is going to find them all lacking. That's just how it works. That's how it always works.
So maybe it's enough to use the time he's got. Maybe it's enough to steal the moments he can, while they're offered; enough to let himself be crowded into the single-stall bathroom with a shitty lock, enough to be pushed up against the counter until he hops up on it, legs dangling to either side of Jack's hips. Maybe it's enough, somehow, to be finally worth it to someone whose opinion actually matters.
Jack kisses him like Darby is worth everything, and it's more addicting than the bottom of a liquor bottle. Darby could get drunk on the feel of Jack's mouth against his. He could float off, doped and loopy, from the sensation of Jack's hands slipping down his shoulders to his back, an exploration done with purpose.
But fucking MJF and his fucking bruising threat lingers in the forefront of Darby's thoughts, even as Jack coaxes his lips apart so he can lick his way in between Darby's teeth.
When Jack's mouth finds a new target, the sensitive skin at the juncture of Darby's jaw and ear, Darby tips his head back and breathes. Savors. And then, because he's the sort of person to jam the knife into his own palm, mumbles, "You didn't like me."
"I didn't know you," Jack replies, the puff of each word warm against Darby's neck.
But he can't now, not really. It can't be real. Jack's just deluding himself that he's found someone worth fighting for. "This will all end after the pay-per-view."
Jack nips his earlobe, an admonishment. "It doesn't have to."
"Doesn't it?"
Jack pulls away. He frowns, tongue slipping to wet the corner of his mouth as though whatever is running through his mind is very serious. And then, because he's perceptive as shit, because he's in the middle of this clusterfuck just the same, he says, "MJF talked to you."
Darby doesn't answer. Jack can figure it out just fine. And he does, shaking his head; he's got his hair pulled back, messy, and Darby wants to grab for it, but he stays his hands. "I figured he'd hit you eventually," Jack says. "Leave no stone unturned, and all. He wants to rattle you to get a leg up. That's it."
"Shitty people can still tell the truth," Darby says. "He said we won't last."
"And you're going to believe him?"
Jack's hands settle on Darby's thighs, heat Darby can feel even through his pants. He wonders if inherently good people just feel like this: hot, like the sun concentrated and distilled down into human form. He wouldn't know about that, really. "Do you want this to end after the PPV?"
"Doesn't matter what I want," Darby rasps, looking away, because staring at Jack too long makes his stomach swoop.
"Kinda does."
Darby sighs. His chest aches. "No one thinks we'll make it." It's as close as he can come to admitting the truth: that no one thinks Jack will stick around. Not because there's something better, but because there's nothing worse.
Jack's fingers tighten around Darby's thighs. They push his legs apart, lightly, and then with more force, until he can step closer. He presses close enough to rut up against Darby's cock, though he seems reluctant to keep it going. "Darby."
"Don't patronize me," Darby hisses. "I know what I am."
"And you think you know what I am," Jack replies. He leans closer and bumps their noses together. "You know what? Fuck 'em. Let's prove them all wrong: MJF, Sammy, everyone."
This high is even worse—Darby will be chasing this one forever, letting the promise sink down into his skin and jumble with his blood. That's the danger of allowing yourself one drink, one hit, one pop; pretty soon, you're dependent on the euphoria it provides. Jack's all bristling optimism, full of spice that lingers on the back of Darby's tongue. Darby should know better.
He clearly doesn't, because he reaches for Jack's face instead of jumping off the counter and fleeing. He's such a fucking idiot. "Can we?"
"Yeah." Jack grins, eyes flashing. "Yeah, I think we can."

Getting high with the MH and EMH boys + habit
꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦
Warnings: HABIT is here, mentions of drugs (it's weed), mentions of crimes (in HABIT's part) 
Author’s Snip: I have a hc on these bitches about if they would smoke weed or not so this is just gonna be my saying my hcs lol  
I’ll shut up now. Enjoy! And don’t be afraid to request.
꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦
Marble Hornets
Tim
I don't think he smokes weed
He'd think that it'll make his condition and hallucinations worse so he kind of swore it off
Maybe he smoked a bit with Brian once or twice
But I feel like he wouldn't really do that
I know he smokes ciggs but in his book it's different
At some point maybe he'll join in when you do it
He'd maybe be a bit anxious but he'll calm down at some point
Brian
He regularly only gets high in social settings, like a party. But he'd also never say no if someone offers him a hit
What I'm trying to say is that he absolutely smokes weed but wants there to be an occasion or an offer
He's not scared or anything he just smokes and passes it back to you
Brian is still Brian but maybe just a little bit out of it
You guys just kind of exist and talk, maybe eat a bunch of snacks and go to a 7-11 to get more
Jay
He smokes once in a blue moon
He's not really into it but he'll join if he feels like it
Like if you offer he takes a second to think about it to decide if he feels like it
I think jay would just sit around or something
Would probably only take one hit
One is okay for him
Alex
I'm gonna be honest, he looks like he's never smoked weed and has smoked weed at the same time somehow
Similar to Brian, he only smokes in a social setting and only joins in when offered by unlike Brian who will always say yes to a weed rotation, sometimes he won't feel like it and says not
But also, similar to Jay, he doesn't take that many hits
You guys probably watch shitty movies or listen to each other talk
EveryManHYBRID
Evan
He absolutely gets high
I actually think he's more of an edible type of guy but will occasionally smoke
He's responsible don't worry
Evan knows when it's the time and place to get high or even what is the appropriate level of getting high in a situation
Most of the time he only really gets high when he's home by himself and has nothing better to do. Sort of a "welp, everyone's doing something. Guess I'll just eat an edible and do whatever."
There are times he will use it to calm down too but that's only if he knows that it'll help and not make his anxiety worse
And then sometimes he'll just get hella high for the fun of it
He's a jack of all trades
Anyways, yeah he's fun to get high with
Vinny
I'm about to drag Vinny though the mud sorry to that Vinny simps
Vinny can't handle weed
I can see it
He thinks he can handle multiple hits or one of Evan's edibles but he can't
He's okay to get high with don't get me wrong
But he gets faded way too fast
Jeff
Smokes pretty regularly and when he feels like it
Some times he goes a long while without getting high
Some times he gets high as hell every odd day of the week
Like I said, it's whenever he feels like it
He's pretty great to get high with, he's a great rotation partner
If you're getting high, he'll join and you guys will just do whatever
HABIT
He is the worst to get high with
Not because he can't handle it
No no man can smoke a whole bowl or eat a majority of a batch without the body just shutting down, somehow
It's that his lack of a censor is jus completely gone
If he's high and wants to do a crime he's just going to get up and do it and not really make a plan
Probably does a bunch of other crimes too
You can get high all you want but don't let him get any because this man's gonna be a menace and maybe have to come back in a new body

This is just a personal ramble about some of the bands I've gotten kinda deeply into over the past few years.
I feel like my experience of becoming a fan of Big Country is right in-between my experience of becoming a Pearl Jam fan and becoming a Sleater-Kinney fan, which is weird, I know, but I can explain: when I first started listening to Pearl Jam, over the first few months I slowly listened to their first three albums, and then it took me at least a year (actually, I think it was practically exactly two years) after that to listen to anything else by them, but I listened to those first three albums (the songs I liked on them, anyway - which has generally not changed) consistently for that entire time and stubbornly did not feel the need to listen to anything else by them or become a bigger fan; when I started listening to Sleater-Kinney, I think it took me only a couple months or so to exhaust their discography (and then of course I got the chance to see them live just a little over a year later; BUT WITHOUT JANET, WHICH I AM STILL SAD AND SALTY ABOUT even though the show was still great), and since finally giving them a chance in 2018 I've continued to listen to them on a frequent basis (although this year, I think I've only listened to them about 6 times a month, whereas for 2018-2022 I listened to them on a weekly basis...now it's slightly less than that, but when I do go to listen to them again I go 'oh wait fuck, I gotta hear...' hence the less than weekly basis, but still more than only a few times a month); now, as I'm discovering Big Country (discography, history, band members), I think it's been like 7-8 months or so since I listened to their first album, and I've only listened up to their fifth album as of today, but I'm, once again, consistently listening to their first three albums anyway. Like, this is not a speedrun like with S-K, but it's not quite the slow acclimation I took to Pearl Jam with, either...I don't know what it is yet. But I'm still very, very content to just listen to Big Country's first three albums, so maybe I'll hold off on listening to any others for awhile, although I am also (differently from many other bands and artists I get into) really enjoying watching some of their '80s concerts* that are on Youtube, so...yeah, maybe I'll just be content with that for a bit. Or maybe I'll get into them even more soon! I don't know. I'm just posting this here for posterity, because it's interesting to me what happens when I become a fan of someone new to me.
One last add-on...I also just realized that my fandom trajectory might actually be explained by these simple ideas: as far as I've heard so far, in my mind, Pearl Jam and Big Country became 'worse' (less exciting/innovative) as time wore on, so maybe I did and am kind of dragging out my experience of listening to their music because I consciously already know that and want to stave off the disappointment longer, but Sleater-Kinney got progressively better as they released more albums (and No Cities to Love, their "comeback" album after breaking up/being on hiatus, is one of their best in their whole discography) up until The Center Won't Hold (although I love that album), so I had to keep listening to more of their albums to hear the best stuff.
Huh. Haha. What an interesting thing to realize/think about. Thank god almost no one is going to read that because I really don't want anon hate for saying PJ or BC got worse or how I effectively compared them to S-K and that I am overall suggesting that S-K is better than either of them. lol A conversation I'm sure no one is ready to have! So neither am I!

being creative on the internet as an outlet is a topic that i am passionate about & i have so much to say.. so i'll put it here.. keep reading if you want to, but its just a history of me and my connection to the internet as a whole, may crosspost this later lol ヾ( ̄▽ ̄) \
ever since i was a little girl, i used the internet to express myself.. dress up games to tumblr, all of it, was used as an outlet. my earliest memory was playing dressup doll games on the computer & watching clips of lucky star in 240p quality while listening to vocaloid in my living room as a small small child, of course, my mom was cooking dinner during all of this, so i can smell dinner when i think of that memory.. germany, 8 pm, shes making banana pudding & tuna sandwiches for me and her while my dad is working.. its such a sweet thing to think of now that i come to think about it..♪(´▽`) way before i discovered the bitterness of the world, the world to me was just schnuffel bunny & vocaloid..
i never had many friends growing up. i had maybe three actual friends IRL, i was severely bullied before going on to become homeschooled from third grade all the way up to highschool, which i went on to do online schooling for that aswell because quite frankly, i was terrified of leaving my house due to my increasing social anxiety along with quarantine happening about ~2 years into my school life. anyways, thats enough backstory, back to my main point.
anywho, i've been expressing myself online for a LONG time as you can tell, i first began uploading my animations and artwork to youtube in 2016..? and i went on to upload my music to soundcloud in 2018. i made a lot of online friends, and even had a partner who i met online which lasted around 4 years. which doesnt sound impressive until i tell you, we began dating in MIDDLE SCHOOL! we dated all the way until.. i was almost 16? lol..
the internet was my refuge and escape from various traumas that had happened to me over the course of the past few years, traumas i was too scared to go to therapy or even open up for, so i'd express my pain on anonymous accounts and abandon them later on. i have countless deviantart accounts that i used purely for vent art and nothing else, that i would later abandon once i realized people could probably tell it was me.
darkness aside, i have many good memories involving uploading my work online aswell, from my various soundcloud aliases to my various artist aliases, one of which would become extremely successful due to my original characters when i was 14, i later abandoned this alias for safety reasons that i won't get into here.. along with all of the fanfiction i read and wrote when i was 12.. so.. much.. fanfiction.. specifically bandom fanfiction, do you all remember bandom?? bandom was a nice time on the internet, we were all just having so much fun on those "___ is ____'s song" and "bandomconfessions" accounts.. no fear of judgement or anything, we could just write stories where we dated our favorite band member and others thought it was the coolest thing to ever grace this planet..
i feel like, without the internet i wouldnt be who i am today, okay, i will admit, i went through some edgy phases to try to fit in with the cishet white kids online since.. being me online was hard! i had to participate in edginess or else run the risk of being called heinous.. heinous things. i was a huge leafyishere fan (now that i think about it.. ew!) and frequented boards of 4chan that i'd never frequent now that i'm older and you know.. have a soul that isnt as dark as the void?
i feel like. . . . if i didnt have the internet at the age i did, i wouldnt had discovered stuff that was lifechanging to me, for example GTBSG was just purely by chance, 10 year old me poking around on soundcloud, youtube, tumblr and twitter, just looking for something, anything new to stimulate my little senses.. and i found it! that group literally and figuratively changed my life in the best sense possible. i feel like i found my calling through their music.
i think that.. no matter how bad and judgemental the internet gets, it'll always be important to me, like yeah, i hate how social media operates nowadays, and all the microtrends that results in so much waste and landfills getting bigger, but if you focus on yourself, delete tiktok, stop doomscrolling, the internet is fun, once you go back to putting in the effort to find new websites, to read peoples personal pages and shrines.. the internet feels a lot more alive again. the internet was taken over by corporations but theres people trying to take it back, even if its a vocal minority, we're still here, and those people who put in the effort mean more to me than they'll ever know.. o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o
i love you internet, even if you suck sometimes.

A while… a date? My head is swimming! I’d love to go on a date with you… 😫 You like chicken stroganoff, I like chicken stroganoff, let’s take it for a spin and make a day out of it! My tastes are… all over the damn place. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Am I fussy? Well… I can be. But will I eat something I hate to spare someone’s feelings. Yes, yes I will. It’s a habit I cannot break. But, I like being adventurous, ☺️ you have to try everything at least once, right? So, let’s go on a date and do something crazy! Uh-huh, looking all bitter and intimidating until squish your cheeks and give you a kiss.
Despite my bold first moves, I’m actually shy 24/7 (come on, I’m not just on anon to peak your curiosity) so that’s just natural. But, I’d really like your shoulder to hide in because you’re not letting up and I’m a second away from curl in on myself until I cool down. (Maybe I am. I’m not confirming or denying anything. 🤭) So… snuggles? 🥺 Oh well, in that case, let me stroke your ego, daddy. Fumbling… stuttering, not coping. 😭 Please… you’re just perfect.
Oh, you smile at your phone too? 🫣 Let me call your bluff. Wait… really? That happens to you too? You know… sometimes, I just wanna listen and talk to you talk about — literally anything or nothing at all. It could be something I couldn’t understand to save my life or something completely random, I don’t care. Just keep company with me. I do, I like it very much. I’m not above it, I’m certainly not new to it either. But maybe I’ll take you by surprise one day, who knows, you might bring it out in me.
(What? What did I do? Tell me so I can do it again! 😌 Do, I know what you mean? 🫠 Do I? Is it you who’s warming me up or am I keeping you warm — or is it both? 😵‍💫)
-🌸
Yeah, let's go on a date please 😫But wait, wait, wait, are you fussy? ...Why do I find this so cute?? You're just a baby oh my gawddd 🥺🥺
But hey, I'd like to do something crazy… even though I have no idea what that crazy thing could be lol. Lead the way baby, it's in your hands! Get me to know new things and please make me feel alive cause I've been kinda dead inside lately and I definitely need something to spark my will to exist again. And this may sound like a cry for help but it's just me being emo don't mind my annoying ass LMAO. And you won't squish my cheeks because I'll squish yours first. And then kissing the tip of your nose before kissing you on the lips because… because why not. Because I want. No more explanations, I just want to do this, let me be.
So you're shy now? Baby, you certainly didn't strike me as the shy type at times (actually I'd say it's quite the opposite 🤭). But I find it kinda sweet actually. It makes me want to hold you after you hide on my shoulder and just rub your back for a while, maybe say a few soothing words just for you to hear. I can just imagine it.
(this particular sentence flustered me for a bit… say you're gonna stroke my ego and then call me daddy? fuck baby, that's a low blow)
I smile like an idiot at my phone, I admit. You're definitely softening me up… but that's not me complaining. And I'd like to keep you company and talk to you for hours and hours into the night, but honestly there's a real possibility that I'll just bore you to death LMAO. Surprise me then, darling. Bring it out when I least expect it. I'm genuinely curious to know what my reaction would be 🤨
(oh it's nothing, you were just being your usual lovely self. But eh… I'd like to be the one to warm you up from the inside… but let's not get kinky around here right)

I'm responding sooo late but I was a bit distracted yesterday lol
It's interesting to hear what different people's processes are haha. I usually watch the mv first and then I listen to the album and usually after that i watch the mv again. and also I think it's easier for me to not watch teasers etc beforehand because of how multi-fandom I am. I can simply pretend that it isn't out yet 😆. Also, I really feel like enha is going to blow it away again. They have not disappointed even once. (I mean, it took a bit of time to get around to blessed-cursed but I still wasn't disappointed when I first heard it. Also I can't hate on dimension: answer when they have polaroid love on it. she's an icon.) but also, listening to manifesto intro made me hyped up for this comeback. (I got such a freight seeing it on my youtube home page when it was first released that I couldn't help but to listen to it, I won't be listening to anything else until album release tho and after the final concept film being released, I also won't be watching anything else either)
phew, it's a relief that it's not permanent, I still hope that it goes away quickly :') it's funny that I was so inspired to make things on Tuesday but then again yesterday I didn't know for which fandom i wanted to make gifs so I ended up just watching that high school musical series thing until I watched multiverse of madness before bed haha
I haven't even heard of that drama (no one is surprised, I'm pretty out of the loop with tv stuff and usually I'm super late to things anyway lol). I'm also bad with tv but my friends got me to watch some stuff last year and now it feels habitual to watch something before bed if I can - or when I need to pull an all nighter I watch riverdale because the things going on in that tv show is sooo weird that it keeps me awake 😂😂
yeah kdramas are really long every episode but I feel like if the kdrama is good enough, you don't even notice the time going by. Also hmmm, I tried to watch love & leashes but I ended up not sticking to it (I also thought it was a drama when I first clicked on it tho lol).
I don't think I've ever watched a web drama... I also haven't watched to my star... I'm not sure I'll be able to get into it because currently my brain is still on business proposal. It happened with crash landing on you as well... When it ended I thought I'd easily get into something else immediately but I just kept missing the characters of CLOY so I couldn't get into anything else 🥴🥴
— seungzie
@jseungz agreed, i love how everyone has their own process for preparing for and enjoying a comeback! i'll agree with you that enhypen has yet to disappoint me, i consistently really enjoy their music and find their concepts to be quite cool and fresh every time. blessed-cursed was actually one of my favorites, i'll say it over and over i LOVE the 90s/00s boy band styling they did for that era and the song itself always gets me hyped. definitely looking forward to hearing what the new track will sound like! i haven't watched or listened to anything, i've just seen the cb scheduler which is giving me the trendy pop punkish vibe so if that's where they're going with it i think i'll be pretty happy haha.
omg i love hsmtmts ... that is one show i do in fact watch haha my mom and my younger sibling and i all watch together when it's airing weekly. i can't remember the last time i pulled an all nighter on purpose 😭 and i used to watch riverdale when it was first out but i heard it got ... so strange haha and i haven't kept up in a very long time.
maybe one day i'll find a drama that i like enough to stick with! i know what you mean about needing some time between things though when you really become invested in the characters / story, i feel like that can happen reading books too. in lieu of watching much television i do watch a ton of kpop groups' like ... series things haha bc as you know multi life means there are plenty of those to keep up with. and when you already know the members and stuff it's easier to jump around and come back to them depending on what you're in the mood for. i've found esp since the pandemic started that i need my entertainment to feel really lighthearted so maybe that's also why dramas don't really call to me 😅 i haven't even watched the new season of stranger things bc those episodes are so long and i feel like it's too intense for what i'm looking for these days, even though i'm a huge fan of the series in general. luckily there's no time limit on finding stuff to watch and enjoy! <3

No future with a boy like this - F.W
Summary: Fred disappoints you more than once, giving you no other choice, you had to let him go.
Warnings: ANGSTY, cursing, implied sex very briefly, FLUFF AT THE END
A/N: my firsts time writing angst and I really don’t know if i was overdramatic or not enough dramatic lol please give feedback
Tumblr media
April- 1996 - Hogwarts
Y/n was waiting on the tribune next to the quidditch field. It was already getting darker now. An orange glow spreading over the field. The sun was going down already. She was sitting there for two hours now.
She promised herself she would stop waiting after an hour but here she was, still hoping he would show up.
It was her birthday, it was her fucking birthday. And this wasn't the first time. It started with little dates, he forgot them sometimes but y/n didn't mind, he made it up every time.
He hurt her by forgetting those things all the time. But it was Fred Weasley after all. You knew this was coming when he became your boyfriend. You even got used to it. He was always busy. That's just how Fred is.
And here she was again. Trying to not let the tears of disappointment fall down on her cheeks. She felt miserable and decided to finally call it a night, going back to her dorm. She was exhausted.
Walking down the corridors, she saw Fred. He was just sitting there, laughing with George. That's when it was clear, he wasn't even late, he just forgot.
He saw her and smiled, walking her way, but she turned on her heals immediately. "Y/n!" he screamed confused. He followed her and his long legs made it easy to catch up.
She didn't answer, finding it much harder to hold back her tears now. "Y/n? Hey? What's wrong?" he asked.
Y/n stopped abruptly. "You really don't know?" she hissed.
A confused look formed on his face. "What do you mean"? he stammered. A tear fell down her cheek and his face was full of guilt now, without even knowing what he did.
"You forgot", you snapped, "again!"
He was thinking for one minute. It really took him one minute. What was wrong with that boy?!
Suddenly a wave of realization hit him. "Fuck." he squealed.
Y/n didn't need this shit right now, and ran away before he could say something. Making him run after her. "NO y/n wait! I'm so sorry, I won't forget next time, I promise, I'm so sorry" he begged while grabbing her arm, pulling her closer to him.
"You say that every time Fred" she sighed, another tear fell down.
It broke Fred's heart. It really did. He didn't mean to forget this things, he didn't want to hurt you. His mind was just so full all the time. So many things were going on in those brains of his.
"I mean it, I'm sorry, I love you y/n" he assured.
And she fell for it, like she always did. It happened every time. Fred said things that made her melt, and she forgave him. It was nothing new. Because how could she not? The sweet boy didn't mean to hurt her, she knew that, everyone knew that.
But still, her friends warned her. There was no future with a boy like this. It couldn't stay like this. So she swore to herself this was the last time. She made that clear to Fred too.
Because what if he's the love of her life? Her future? This was her last year after all, y/n’s future was right in front of her. What if Fred was her future? You both couldn't give that up.
May- 1996 - Hogwarts
Everything was alright.
They were okay.
And Fred hasn’t been late for a whole month, sounds like nothing special but to him and her it was.
This weekend y/n was going home, and not just home, but with Fred.
After a year it was time for him to meet her parents. Fred claimed he was the perfect son in law, so he didn’t hesitate to agree. Y/n was nervous and excited at the same time.
Ready in her dorm, with a portkey, she had her favourite sundress on. She was waiting for Fred but he didn’t show up. Okay it was only 15 minutes now, but with their little history it made her nervous. She was absolutely sure Fred wouldn’t forget this. He can’t forget this.
20 minutes later she was still waiting.
No. This couldn’t be true. It just couldn’t be.
And then, she found a note under her potionsbook. After reading only one word, she was already furious, a growing heat filling her cheeks.
Dear y/n, love
I remembered. I swear. But I just won’t make it. I’m not feeling okay and I think I might have a fever or something. I don’t want to make you or your parents sick, so I’m staying in my dorm.
I love you, kisses Fred x
She didn’t really know what to think. She was so disappointed, again.
But she could’t blame her boyfriend for feeling sick. Although she had her doubts, what if this wasn’t true, maybe he lied because he did forget it?
No, no, she had to trust him. Fred wouldn’t lie to her. So she grabbed the portkey and went to visit her parents.
Alone.
-
When she traveled back to Hogwarts it was late already, past midnight. Y/n hoped Umbridge wouldn’t catch her.
The corridors were empty, completely silent. This was not unusual. Most of the students were already asleep this late on a Sunday.
Unexpectedly, she heard gigles and laughs coming from around the corner. Did it come from the library? It couldn’t be. Not at almost 1 am.
She went closer to listen. Y/n placed her ear on the door. Was it... Was it...? No. No.
Did she hear Fred’s voice?
She really hoped she was just imagining this. Maybe she should trust Fred more.
But just checking won’t hurt right?
So she tried to open the door. It was locked.
“Alohamora” she whispered.
What she saw broke her heart into a million pieces.
Angelina sat on a table, with Fred extremely close to her, giggling. George and Lee were there too.
She couldn’t believe her own eyes. Looking silently in Fred’s shocked ones.
“Fuck” he sighed. “Y/n-“ he tried.
But she cut him off before he could say anything. “No, I don’t wanna hear another silly explanation from you, it’s enough, I don’t want to see you ever again” she screamed with tears in her eyes, making her vision blurry.
Y/n ran away, faster than ever so Fred couldn’t catch up this time.
“Stop!! Stop!” she heard him scream behind her.
She ran and ran, not even knowing were to.
“Let me explain” another scream followed.
That’s when she ended up in a corridor she didn’t know. A dead end. Ofcourse.
She gave up and stopped. Fred ended in front of her, breathing loudly, trying to catch his breath.
“Baby I-“ he tried
“Don’t call me baby, this is over” y/n cut him off.
Fred was speachless, for the first time in history. He didn’t realise this truly happened. He knew what he did wasn’t okay, but he never expected her to actually broke up with him. It just didn’t occur in his mind this was a possibility.
“But.. but...” he stuttered. “I swear, I can explain, what you’ve just seen, it wasn’t what you think it is. I’ve told you about the shoppe George and I want to open, right? It’s actually going to happen. We’re leaving hogwarts. That’s what we were doing, we were planning things. Tomorrow we’re going to blow up Umbridge, no not literally blow up, but with lots of firework! And then we’re going to open the shoppe together. It’s my dream y/n!” he rambled excited.
Y/n sighed. Understanding why he did this, but it didn’t change a thing.
“That actually makes things worse Fred. I’m happy your dream will come true. But you’re leaving and I’m finishing my year. When are you going to have time for me if you run a shop? You didn’t even have time for me now.” she cried.
Both of them were crying now. Knowing the break up was really going to happen. Fred wanted to keep fighting. But he knew she might be right.
A little sob left his mouth, something he never did before. She was right. He truly loved her but he couldn’t give her the happy future she deserved. He wasn’t right for her, he didn’t treat her the way she should’ve been treated. And the idea broke him. And that’s when she walked away.
They didn’t see each other again afterwards.
The next day, y/n laid in her bed when she heard fireworks, knowing what happened. She couldn’t go outside and watch...
Happy screams and laughs filled the castle. And that’s when she realised Fred and George were gone now. It was reality now. They won’t come back. Although a little part of her hoped they would stay. A little part of her thought Fred would come to her, begging her to stay with him. But she guessed he just didn’t love her enough.
After all the times Fred broke her heart, she was kind off used to it. But those heartbreaks couldn’t ever overcome this one.
August - 1996 - Diagon Alley
The summer was almost over, y/n graduated two months ago. The heartbreak still hurted but she was better now. She still didn’t know what to do now that she’s graduated.
Hermione decided you two had to go shopping. “It’ll make you happier” she stated like it was an actual fact. Y/n couldn’t say no of course.
Y/n’s breath hitched. A big clone of Fred’s face right in front of her (or George). This had to be their joke shoppe. God, it was more impressive than she expected. Guess you should never underestimate the twins.
“Let’s go inside y/n!” Hermione announced excited, grabbing her arm trying to puch her inside.
“Oh no no no no no, I don’t think that’s a great idea” she hesitated.
“Don’t worry, it’s so busy, Fred won’t see you” she promised her. Y/n sighed. She really didn’t want to go inside. She’d love to see the shoppe, but seeing Fred...
Whatever, it was true. It was so busy so Fred won’t ever notice her.
They entered, y/n was surprised, it was wonderful. Fred and George must have worked so hard to get to this point. God, she loved the place.
It brought back memories. All those joke products, most of them were used on her, she remembered. Fred thought it was hilarious to prank her literally all the time, being proud because it was something he invented himself. She couldn’t be mad about it, it made him so happy.
The place even smelled like him.
Y/n took a deep breath trying to gather all of the smell, in hope it would stay in her nose, so she could remember it back home.
She closed her eyes and imagined how it could be, if they didn’t broke up. How she would probably come here everyday to say hi, how she would watch Fred all day doing his job.
And then... she saw him. In his uniform, he stood there proudly on the stairs above her. Smiling happily, seeing all those laughing people because if his work.
He was happy. Fred missed y/n but he was happy. He thought a lot of all the things he did wrong. Although he didn’t really have time to worry.
Y/n sighed, it’s been months. Her heart was glowing inside her chest. She didn’t even feel sad any more. This was what her boyfriend always dreamt of. Her ex-boyfriend.
She turned around deciding it was not smart to look at the beautiful boy, the boy who still made her knees go weak.
Fred’s smell was more vibrant than before now. Almost like he was right in front of me.
Ow, love potions, of course.
Of course she still smelled Fred in it.
“I smell honey, flowers and vanilla soap” she heard a familiar voice whispering in her ear, almost making her jump.
“F-fred, hey” she stuttered, in shock by the fact he’s standing right in front of her.
“You look great, changed your hair” he smiled. It was true, y/n cut her hair a little shorter and decided to give it a lighter colour for the summer. The typical breakup haircut.
“Fred do you want to... talk... please?” she asked, knowing it wasn’t a great idea. She wanted to just run away after she realized what she said.
“We could go upstairs, talk in my appartment”
October- 1996 - Diagon Alley
“Come on darling, George opened up already!” Fred screamed running through his kitchen while jumping, trying to get his pants on. He grabbed an apple as breakfast.
Y/n ran to the kitchen too. “I thought you changed the being late thing” y/n joked, yes they joked about it now.
“You were the one holding me up this time” he smiled adding a wink. “You just can’t resist me in the bedroom” y/n answered daring.
She grabbed him by his collar, pressing a kiss on his lips. “I have no choice with the sexiest girlfriend in the word” Fred grinned, pressing kisses all over your face, making you giggle.
“Baby, you’re wearing your uniform backwards” he laughed.
Y/n worked at the shoppe now too.
When she asked Fred to talk, they actually talked for hours. They talked about what went wrong in their relationship, about what they had been doing in those months they broke up, talked about how they still had feelings,...
And after two hours they made up. Both being happier than ever, deciding they learned from their break up.
Fred asked her to come live in his apartment and work in their shop too. Y/n didn’t hesitate for a moment. She designed their boxes or packages and talked to costumers. But most of all she distracted Fred by rolling her uniforme skirt up and bowing down to ‘grab’ something. Sometimes he took her back to the appartment because he couldn’t hold back anymore.
Y/n now knew, the breakup was necessary. You both learned. And now you’re happier than ever.
Because after all, Fred was your future.

Do you do poly ships? :0 if not feel free to do these two characters separately lol May I get some hcs of Zhongli and Venti on a picnic date with the reader? Just a quiet day in the sun where the Archons can relax for a moment and watch the world go by :D (if you wanna insert some angst maybe they suddenly realize this moment is fleeting bc reader is mortal and won't be with them forever?? Up to you lol 👀) thank you in advance!!!
I actually don't :D kidding ahahah
What I meant to say was that I haven't wrote anything related to poly relationship before so this a cool, first experience for me! And like the dumbass that I am, I took on this request and butchered the heck outta it. Welcome to "A Day In The Life Loving Two Broke Gods"-
Rendezvous with the Gods
Picnic Scenario with Poly!Venti, Zhongli, and You
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Background!
It's pretty WACK how you got two of the seven archons to be interested in you in a romantic level.
But I can imagine that the thing that attracted them the most to you is your sense of humanity. As ex-archons, what they needed now is a sense of normalcy and a grasp on reality, and with your knowledge and presence they've come to realize the ways of the mortals fairly easily.
But like, you got the two oldest archons in existence. Even the Traveler is in disbelief at this turn of events.
I think you somehow ended up in this situation when the two of them had a reunion after their retirement, and the conversation went like this: "Have you heard of the fair maiden, (Y/N)? Their existence greatly reminds me of Celestia!" "I had the honor of meeting them yes, how tantalizing they are, even the slightest sight of them invigorates me through the whole day."
They'd shower you with praises among one another, and you're forced to sneeze for an hour straight somewhere in Teyvat.
Preparation!
*wheeze*
First thing I thought was "How probable is it that Venti drinks Dandelion Wine at 4 in the afternoon?"
The answer is yes.
You three have planned this picnic days ahead, maybe even a week. As all of you have your own work and errands to deal with, probably not Venti tho, a gathering of this magnitude that requires you three to be present for hours are not as common as you'd think.
First order of business: location! The most obvious answer would have been Starsnatch Cliff, Windrise or even Dihua Marsh.
While thinking, Venti and Zhongli ended up sharing a look, and suddenly the location was settled.
No, you don't know where it is, and they tell you that they'll handle it.
You don't have to worry.
You are very worried.
Next, the food! Being in a relationship with two broke Gods made you the alpha in terms of Mora, and on this occasion, you're once again forced to put your foot down and provide.
With that in mind, both of them could only offer a guilty smile and a nervous laugh.
The outcome of your meal depends on your cooking skills really: if you're good or decent, what a heart-warming picnic that would be.
They must have tasted your cooking before so they would ask for requests on your delicious home cooking —
something light that goes with tea, said Zhongli.
something meaty and heavy to pair with wine, said Venti.
It's a wonder how you deal with these two together.
If you're absolutely terrible at cooking, like Suspicious Dish™ rating, you're gonna have to rely on your Mora to get takeout for this date.
Everything else you've pretty much wrapped up quickly, all you have to do now is wait.
Picnic Time!
Venti was the one to pick you up from your housing to guide you to the location, greeting you with a chaste kiss on the cheek before aiming for the picnic basket hanging by your elbow.
You don't let him; he might eat it on the way there honestly
Cute boy is practically shaking with excitement as he hauls you up over a cliff face and carefully nyoom! over the sea
Where is he taking you?
You didn't dwell much longer when you saw a small island in the distance, a rock formation by the edge and most notably, you're tall lover standing next to an elegant patterned brown and gold blanket placed over the sea of flora.
Welcome to Heart Island!
Very cheesy
The Geo archon greets you with a kiss on the hand before being tackled to the ground by a buzzing Venti.
How that was physically possible was beyond you-
You set up and laid down all the food you got for today's picnic: Fresh apples, 'Breakfast' Sandwich, Chicken and Mushroom Skewers!
You've also noticed a picnic basket to the side that wasn't yours. Noticing your stare, Zhongli pulled out his contributions: Mora Meat, a pitcher of Iced Tea, and a bowl of Mushroom Stew.
Out of nowhere, Venti manifests his own offerings to the table: Apples, Dandelion Wine and Mondstadt Hash Browns.
You have no idea how these two managed to prepare or afford such meals but you appreciate it nonetheless.
They had the whole week to save up Mora just for this picnic, how cute aww
The first to take a bite is Venti, defo. You and Zhongli would be prepping the utensils while the Anemo boy sneaks some food into his mouth, even if you smack his hand multiple times, he's not gonna relent.
A lot of catching up happens in this picnic: your wild commissions, Venti's recent performances, Zhongli's uh consultant stuff.
These are the rare moments where Zhongli isn't the one filling up the conversation more, satisfied with hearing the voices of his lovers and listening to their joys or woes.
The whole picnic is accompanied by Venti's lyre, strumming softly, unrelenting, to make sure all of you are enjoying the serenity of the island.
You and Zhongli take turns spoon feeding him cuz he just won't stop PLAYING
Zhongli made the Iced Tea
Zhongli made the Iced Tea
Very refreshing, right amount of sweet, would honestly be a good alternative for Venti's alcoholism
Speaking of, he's tipsy now
He's on a full-blown performance now, serenading and urging you two into a dance after eating "to digest the food faster"
Not really believable but you danced anyways.
Zhongli would decline first as he starts cleaning up
But give him a little more nudge, pull on his hand, he'll crave eventually
Rex Lapis is actually a pretty decent dancer
HAVE YOU SEEN HOW GRACEFUL HE DROP KICKS HIS SPEAR
Such a relaxing day off the three of you deserve
By the time the sun already dipped the horizon and you guys still had time to spare, you and Venti would be dozing off on the blanket while leaving the few remaining clean up to Zhongli. It was a tiring yet enjoyable day that's deserving of a nice and dreamy nap.
"Morax..." He'd hear an uncharacteristically somber voice as he makes his way over to where you both lay. Your back resting on the Anemo archon's chest as he spoons you. His teal eyes stare unmoving at your open palm of which the Geo archon takes into his as he sits down.
Little cuts litter your rough hands, from your adventures, some fresh from today to prepare your dishes. How frail and sensitive mortal hands are.
"I'll miss them, so so much." Venti confessed as his grip around you tightens, free-flowing tears erupt from his eyes that are unfocused, as if he was years away with that thousand yards stare that the other God had familiarized himself with.
For the second time in his whole lifetime, Rex Lapis found himself at a loss for words.
------
"Ohhh, a luxurious chest! What's it doing so far out here?" The Traveler lets the floating companion ramble as they pull the chest open, excited for the new artifacts they'll come by.
A teal goblet with gold accents worn out through the years from disuse as parts of its paint are chipped off as gray splotches, laid perfectly in the middle of a brown wool blanket with intricate gold and silver geometric patterns. On each side lays an Anemoculus and Geoculus, softly glowing yet dimming in pulses.
They pick it up with utmost care for safe-keeping, to ask for their archon friends in the future. Who knows, it might be the closure they needed.
Tumblr media
This took some time and a lot of pondering wow! This is even more chaotic than the Albedo one ahahah I've made myself sad just thinking about this— anyways thank you so much for requesting and your lovely support! Please let our archon bbs be happy ywy

I really like your idea of doing this event! You’re actually one of my favourite chuuya writers out there and I feel that you write his character so well in your fics. This is actually my first time sending you a message cause I’m soooo shy about these things hahah. But curiosity got the best of me and your writing style is just *chef’s kiss* .
Alright soooo, I’m a female with she pronouns. And I’m the type of person who cares a lot, especially when someone is close to me. I will do basically anything in my power (and range) to make that person feel happy and safe again. I can be really affectionate when I’m with someone I trust, however I can also be quite shy and bashful. But if I’m in the mood, I can tease the hell out of someone and just irritate them with my silly humour and behaviour 🥲 I’ll admit right here and now that I can be quite the brat when I feel like it. I regret nothing lol. Also, my social battery runs out pretty fast when being in new situations or meeting lots of people, since I’m still an introvert and I don’t like being the centre of attention. But it gives me a kick experiencing new things! And, probably the most important thing for me, is that I highly value understanding and accepting of each other.
I guess that kinda sums up how I’m as a person? Basically a true INFJ hahaha.
Thank you for your hard work every time ❤️ I think it’s safe to say that we all appreciate you for what you’re doing while having your fulltime job. So please, take good care of yourself too 😊
hi hi! aww, thank you sweet! 🥺 chuuya's really dear to me and i get happy when you guys like my characterization of him! thank you for sticking out with your courage and messaging because i love hearing from you guys, absolutely!
here's your chuu headcanons, i hope you like em!
your affectionate nature is something that chuuya absolutely adores when he's finally in a relationship with you. chuuya might be one of the more "stable" members of the port mafia, but he definitely still needs a rock to lean on when he can, and for you to be around is something he definitely is so thankful for.
he won't need you to do much for him, really. there's little one can do about the weight that being a member of the port mafia inflicts on a person. all you need to do is bring him a glass of wine, maybe sit pretty in a dress he loves on you, and rest your head on his shoulder... that's enough to make him feel happy and safe.
there's not a lot you can tease chuuya about that'll really get under his skin (except, maybe, topics related to his former partner) so any banter with him is really lighthearted and fun. he loves messing around with you as well and it'll definitely be bonding time for the two of you!
he loves taking you to do new things! once he understands that thing about your social battery he definitely makes sure to find activities that you can really enjoy without feeling super drained at the end. still, whether you're into sports or nature or just plain old hobbies kind of doing new things, he's definitely there supporting you or lending you a hand in being able to access these things. if he can join... of course, the better!
your introvert mode really converts chuuya into a cuddle machine. he's not the best at recognizing when your brain begins to alert you that it's time for alone time- you'll need to tell him- but when you do he's very there for you in a non-crowding way and would love to help you recharge in any way he can. probably just loves sitting on your lap while you do your thing, really.
chuuya's lines of communication are always clear and open with you- once he's gained enough trust in you. there's not a thing he would lie about (except if it's a surprise for you!) and even if it's a hard topic he will make sure to brace himself to talk to you about it. oppositely, you best be armed with your valuations of being understanding and accepting because he has a lot of shit on his shoulders.
don't worry he'll listen to you too, with an attentive ear. he's just not the best at giving wordly advice so he'll mostly stick with physical comfort until he sees that you really need to hear him talk. he doesn't forget a single trouble you tell him about, and mysteriously, somehow you never encounter that trouble anymore in the future...
oh and also... be careful with that bratty side around chuuya. it's fine and all, he will tolerate it and he will be a good sport, but remember, he always returns twice as hard :p
overall i think a lovely duo! your advocacy for honesty and care amongst people is something chuuya greatly resonates with, and he loves joining you in your efforts towards it. i think you two will make lovely memories with each other, just full of lighthearted laughter.

So I think, this is just my personal theory. That only the first born Goode male know about the curse and not the rest of the family. And maybe they just have an inkling that there's something up but they don't question it.
About the cops? I think because Shadyside and Sunnyvale are apart of Union county that they have one sheriffs department. So they cover both but obviously the Goode's would want it in Shadyside because that's where all the bad shit happens, they can keep an eye on them, and also pick a new victim when the time comes.
So I noticed in Ziggy's house she had a *ton* of books. I also noticed Nick had a *ton* of records and books but I think records? Not sure. Anyways, do you think they had some type of book club? I think maybe Nick would drop off new books to her? And also I was wondering if she left the house because maybe she could have gotten her groceries delivered. And also I saw a clock for the video store so I think she does go out. Also to walk Major Tom.
I also think it was interesting that when Nick went to Ziggy's house he meant to knock but couldn't bring himself to so he left the note. I still wonder why exactly he told her? Like just a warning so she wouldn't be as surprised? But do we think they saw each other before 1994? Because personally I want to believe but I would think if anything it would take Ziggy a few years before she could handle it.
I have read some great Ziggy x Nick fics (including yours! Love!) and I've seen some talk about Nick being obsessed with her and I totally believe it and maybe does stalk her. Like that 1978 scene where Ziggy playfully accuses him??👀 idk. Like when he walks into the mall, like any idiot could see something was up and it was probably a set up. But omfg when he realized she was there, his face, it's like he couldn't help but be drawn to her anyways.
And obviously Nick is evil and the worst, I don't ever forget that or wanna downplay what he did. But I did notice the second time that he didn't put the gun on Ziggy, but he still did use her as a shield but I'm not 100% buying that he would have actually gone through with using her as a shield.
Also! The song when Ziggy is setting up the paint and Nick walks in, the Buzzcock's "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)" (I've always loved this song so !! lol). But omg listening to it after knowing what Nick has done! Cuz you know at first you think it's just because he's a Sunnyvaler and she's a Shadysider so it's like Romeo and Juliet. But then! Watching it a second time and the lyrics!! Because obviously it applies for both of them but for very different reasons once Ziggy learns the truth (foreshadowing lol). But looking at the lyrics and what the writer of the song said I do kind of see it a bit more as Nick about Ziggy because, "You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt, and I'm hurt and if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you, and that's worse". Cuz you know in the beginning he's trying to be nice and she totally doesn't let up on him lol. And if Nick were to stop the curse it would be a commotion. And also he can't let her go because he likes her so much and he does end up hurting her in the end. But also, "I can't see much of the futureUnless we find out what's to blame, what a shame And we won't be together much longer Unless we realize that we are the same" And you know, unless we find out what's to blame👀 and the second half, how they are kind of the same in the sense of liking spiders, Stephen king and each other. And also! The writer of the song says the song is really about, "But it's about the way in which you deal with that realization and how you try and find some way to change the other person, which is usually a bit doomed anyway." (genius.com) And honestly that sounds really like Nick towards Ziggy to me. Because he knows he shouldn't but he still wants to and does and he tries to change it, by letting her live, but ya know they were doomed in that sense. And then the other song! Where they're hanging out in the nature and science room where they kiss? "Sweet Jane" by The Velvet Underground. It also has some very Nick-like lyrics to me. I'll probably have more theories/headcanons soon lol.
Hey nice!!!
Right so in order:
That only the first born Goode male know about the curse and not the rest of the family. Agreed, it makes sense to explain being able to keep the secret and maybe the Pact itself doesn't let them/ensures their family doesn't notice.
About the cops? I think because Shadyside and Sunnyvale are apart of Union county that they have one sheriffs department. Agreed, I've also put in stuff re: Nick skulking around Shadyside doing so in this way.
So I noticed in Ziggy's house she had a *ton* of books. Okay this I love and it's worth pointing out! I don't think they kept up over the years in canon, but Nick leaving books outside her door with no note feels in character. I think she did leave her house for some stuff, like what you note, and she was always a reader. There's also all the research she probably did on witchcraft. I think Nick's house had a lot of records, but I also feel the house was very performative in a way so idk how reliable that is to his tastes/interests.
I also think it was interesting that when Nick went to Ziggy's house he meant to knock but couldn't bring himself to so he left the note. That's the biggest plot hole to me personally, given what we know. I've mostly decided on "he told her to get back into her life/reconnect with her" but honestly he could have had her place attacked directly and gallantly saved her? On the other hand that didn't work for him last time. I think they didn't really see each other in canon, though presumably minor interactions could have happened as they live/work in the same place and yeah enough time had passed post 78 that it might have been doable to her, but in my fics they always seem to have seen a lot of each other......................
I have read some great Ziggy x Nick fics (including yours! Love!) and I've seen some talk about Nick being obsessed with her and I totally believe it and maybe does stalk her. Aw thank you! Yes I think there's an obsession and a fixation on her. And given his job, it would have been easy to do and not look like he was doing it/keep tabs on her. And yes the mall thing! Clearly something was up but he saw her and it was like: Head Empty Only Ziggy.
And obviously Nick is evil and the worst, I don't ever forget that or wanna downplay what he did. Agreed, I don't think of myself as an apologist or whatever but as someone interested in Nick the character and his choices and how those things inform each other. Among them, using the woman he apparently loves as a human shield, only to turn around and scream at the others to save her life. So I don't think he would have gone through with using her as a shield but like you said it's not like. A good thing. It just means that he values her but he's not above threatening her. (Remember that post where people were like Anakin might be evil but he never mindtricked anybody! And others were like he murdered children though. And I chose to read it as, actually Anakin didn't have the will/mental fortitude to successfully mindtrick anybody and thus resorted to force, which is an interesting thing to point out but doesn't mean he's secretly the good guy all along. That's what I think this is).
Also! The song when Ziggy is setting up the paint and Nick walks in, the Buzzcock's "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)" (I've always loved this song so !! lol). This was a pretty great/interesting reflection! I think the song choices were super deliberate and layered in this movie, like the use of Man Who Sold The World. It's also interesting that Sweet Jane also plays when Deena and Sam kiss in their own science room. Which is not so much a false parallel as the NickXZiggy story being a foil to both the DeenaXSam and HannahXSarah stories.
Thanks for sending this in, can't wait to keep chatting! Lots to think about.
